Hey, everybody, Welcome to the 4 00:00:21,617 --> 00:00:24,217 Speaker 1: Buck Brief. Roma deravi our guest for this one. She 5 00:00:24,577 --> 00:00:28,857 Speaker 1: is the founder and principal of Durravis Strategies and a 6 00:00:28,937 --> 00:00:34,657 Speaker 1: former Deputy White House Communications Director under former President Trump 7 00:00:34,697 --> 00:00:37,457 Speaker 1: who may be President Trump again. Roma. 8 00:00:37,537 --> 00:00:38,457 Speaker 2: Let's start with that. 9 00:00:40,417 --> 00:00:43,177 Speaker 1: Why I think you and I are going to just agree, 10 00:00:43,177 --> 00:00:45,057 Speaker 1: so I'll skip the Do you think Nikki Haley should 11 00:00:45,137 --> 00:00:46,897 Speaker 1: drop out? Because you know she's not gonna win? So yeah, 12 00:00:46,937 --> 00:00:49,777 Speaker 1: nikkiy Haley should drop out. What's the point of you're 13 00:00:49,777 --> 00:00:51,737 Speaker 1: staying in at this stage? As you see it, I mean, 14 00:00:51,777 --> 00:00:58,257 Speaker 1: having looked at this from the strategic calms perspective, Look. 15 00:00:58,017 --> 00:01:01,057 Speaker 2: There's really no point in her staying in much longer 16 00:01:01,097 --> 00:01:03,937 Speaker 2: other than the fact that she would look like she's 17 00:01:04,017 --> 00:01:07,417 Speaker 2: kind of tailing DeSantis had she dropped out immediately after 18 00:01:07,457 --> 00:01:11,577 Speaker 2: he did, kind of following big. There's footsteps in that one. 19 00:01:11,737 --> 00:01:14,937 Speaker 2: So maybe that's why she's staying in. But from a 20 00:01:14,977 --> 00:01:18,737 Speaker 2: political perspective and a career stance on her end, she's 21 00:01:18,777 --> 00:01:23,537 Speaker 2: already proven herself. She's already taken the debate stage multiple times. 22 00:01:23,617 --> 00:01:26,177 Speaker 2: You know, she had a very good, strong start on 23 00:01:26,217 --> 00:01:30,417 Speaker 2: the first debate in Milwaukee. I was there watching in person, 24 00:01:30,937 --> 00:01:34,257 Speaker 2: and I think the audience liked her that night. So 25 00:01:34,417 --> 00:01:39,257 Speaker 2: it's not like she really needs to keep going. And frankly, 26 00:01:39,417 --> 00:01:43,057 Speaker 2: I would go as far to say as her own 27 00:01:43,217 --> 00:01:47,297 Speaker 2: talking points and her own messaging has shifted to a 28 00:01:47,337 --> 00:01:50,257 Speaker 2: place that is not going to help her. So I 29 00:01:50,297 --> 00:01:55,297 Speaker 2: would urge them to be realistic and you know, end 30 00:01:55,337 --> 00:01:58,017 Speaker 2: on a high note if you could call it one 31 00:01:58,097 --> 00:02:01,057 Speaker 2: still and bow out, because it really is not going 32 00:02:01,097 --> 00:02:04,017 Speaker 2: to help her in her career. She doesn't need to 33 00:02:04,057 --> 00:02:07,937 Speaker 2: stay in for that at this point. And it's only 34 00:02:07,937 --> 00:02:09,897 Speaker 2: going to hurt the party. It's only going to hurt 35 00:02:10,297 --> 00:02:13,977 Speaker 2: the Republicans as a whole if we don't start now 36 00:02:14,377 --> 00:02:15,657 Speaker 2: banding ourselves together. 37 00:02:16,257 --> 00:02:20,337 Speaker 1: Now, you know the people that are in Trump's immediate 38 00:02:20,457 --> 00:02:24,057 Speaker 1: orbit well, and I know you talk talk to those 39 00:02:24,097 --> 00:02:27,737 Speaker 1: folks and have contact them on a regular basis. What 40 00:02:27,777 --> 00:02:29,977 Speaker 1: can people what should people know? What can people know 41 00:02:30,097 --> 00:02:35,057 Speaker 1: right now about the team that he's building and has 42 00:02:35,097 --> 00:02:38,857 Speaker 1: in place around him for this twenty twenty four election cycle, 43 00:02:39,257 --> 00:02:41,817 Speaker 1: you know, just for people that are wondering, like, how 44 00:02:41,937 --> 00:02:43,137 Speaker 1: is it going to be the same, How is it 45 00:02:43,217 --> 00:02:46,217 Speaker 1: going to be different from previous election cycles for Trump? 46 00:02:46,257 --> 00:02:47,937 Speaker 1: By what insights can you give us on that. 47 00:02:50,297 --> 00:02:53,417 Speaker 2: He's He really has a great team around him this time. 48 00:02:54,217 --> 00:02:57,497 Speaker 2: You know, he's diverted back to what I would call 49 00:02:57,577 --> 00:03:02,577 Speaker 2: the Trump Tower twenty sixteen point of view. And I 50 00:03:02,737 --> 00:03:04,937 Speaker 2: was there actually in Trump Tower working for him in 51 00:03:04,977 --> 00:03:07,777 Speaker 2: twenty sixteen. It was a great group of people. Everyone 52 00:03:07,897 --> 00:03:12,257 Speaker 2: was extremely focused on one initiative, and that was getting 53 00:03:12,457 --> 00:03:15,857 Speaker 2: Donald Trump in the White House. Everyone that is with 54 00:03:15,977 --> 00:03:18,377 Speaker 2: him right now is focused on that. And on top 55 00:03:18,417 --> 00:03:21,177 Speaker 2: of it, he has a tremendous legal team that is 56 00:03:21,217 --> 00:03:24,897 Speaker 2: fighting day in and day out the absolute insanity of 57 00:03:25,777 --> 00:03:29,337 Speaker 2: Democrats dragging him into the courtroom through this entire political 58 00:03:29,417 --> 00:03:33,417 Speaker 2: timeline of a primary race. So I would say the 59 00:03:33,417 --> 00:03:36,417 Speaker 2: American people can be very confident in the team that 60 00:03:36,457 --> 00:03:39,697 Speaker 2: he has around him. It's diverse, but it also is 61 00:03:40,057 --> 00:03:42,457 Speaker 2: a lot of the original people that were with him 62 00:03:42,737 --> 00:03:47,537 Speaker 2: day one back in twenty fifteen. So there's a great group. 63 00:03:47,777 --> 00:03:52,937 Speaker 2: You have a lot of DeSantis defectos that had worked 64 00:03:52,977 --> 00:03:56,537 Speaker 2: for him on his first race running for governor and 65 00:03:56,937 --> 00:03:59,217 Speaker 2: know him well. And chose not to ever work for 66 00:03:59,297 --> 00:04:01,817 Speaker 2: him again. So just take that with a grain of salt. 67 00:04:02,697 --> 00:04:05,017 Speaker 2: But I think President Trump has a great team with him, 68 00:04:05,617 --> 00:04:08,897 Speaker 2: a lot of really strong advisors, and it shows. It 69 00:04:08,977 --> 00:04:12,897 Speaker 2: shows in his speeches, it shows in his strategy, and 70 00:04:13,177 --> 00:04:15,657 Speaker 2: I don't think anyone can ignore that, except for maybe 71 00:04:15,697 --> 00:04:16,857 Speaker 2: the mainstream media. 72 00:04:17,177 --> 00:04:21,657 Speaker 1: You're mentioning, well, at least I think referring to Susie Wilds, right, 73 00:04:21,697 --> 00:04:27,297 Speaker 1: who had run DeSantis's gubernatorial campaign the first time around, 74 00:04:27,737 --> 00:04:30,537 Speaker 1: and now is she the chairman of the Trump campaign 75 00:04:30,697 --> 00:04:33,457 Speaker 1: or she's in a senior role. She's basically running it. 76 00:04:33,457 --> 00:04:37,177 Speaker 2: Right, she's one of the campaign directors. Yeah, and she 77 00:04:37,537 --> 00:04:41,817 Speaker 2: was definitely heavily involved with Desantaz and his run for governor. 78 00:04:41,857 --> 00:04:45,137 Speaker 2: But there's quite a few staffers that were also on 79 00:04:45,177 --> 00:04:47,377 Speaker 2: his team back then and are on Team Trump and 80 00:04:47,497 --> 00:04:49,777 Speaker 2: have been for quite a few years now. So it's 81 00:04:49,817 --> 00:04:53,937 Speaker 2: not necessarily a new switch. There's not this jump back 82 00:04:53,977 --> 00:04:57,137 Speaker 2: and forth from one pond to the other. They really 83 00:04:57,177 --> 00:05:00,217 Speaker 2: have made the decision that they're putting America first, which 84 00:05:00,217 --> 00:05:02,577 Speaker 2: is what President Trump is doing. You know, for all 85 00:05:02,617 --> 00:05:07,337 Speaker 2: intentsive purposes, he could have left and said I gave 86 00:05:07,377 --> 00:05:11,017 Speaker 2: you guys, an amazing four years. I did so much 87 00:05:11,057 --> 00:05:14,137 Speaker 2: for America. No one in the White House, certainly not 88 00:05:14,257 --> 00:05:17,737 Speaker 2: my team, would have blamed him for going to private 89 00:05:17,777 --> 00:05:20,617 Speaker 2: life and spending time with his family and saying I 90 00:05:20,737 --> 00:05:24,497 Speaker 2: will maybe play kingmaker and decide who's going to take 91 00:05:24,537 --> 00:05:27,537 Speaker 2: my place. He didn't do that. He cares too much 92 00:05:27,577 --> 00:05:31,497 Speaker 2: about America, and he's willing to make so many sacrifices 93 00:05:32,057 --> 00:05:34,977 Speaker 2: for not just his own life, but his family's life, 94 00:05:35,137 --> 00:05:38,537 Speaker 2: their business that he built, you know, all of this 95 00:05:38,937 --> 00:05:41,417 Speaker 2: in order to get this country back on track. 96 00:05:42,377 --> 00:05:45,977 Speaker 1: And how's he doing? And I saw him at mar 97 00:05:46,017 --> 00:05:48,857 Speaker 1: A Lago a few months back. You know, we sat 98 00:05:48,897 --> 00:05:51,497 Speaker 1: down there for an hour on radio, and we hung 99 00:05:51,537 --> 00:05:52,857 Speaker 1: out a little bit afterwards. 100 00:05:53,017 --> 00:05:54,097 Speaker 2: He gave us all. 101 00:05:54,017 --> 00:05:57,457 Speaker 1: Vanilla milkshakes, which, honestly truth, I hadn't had a vanilla 102 00:05:57,497 --> 00:06:01,617 Speaker 1: milkshake in years. It was delicious. I'd forgotten. He just 103 00:06:01,657 --> 00:06:04,497 Speaker 1: decided where he's like clay Buck vanilla milkshakes for our 104 00:06:04,537 --> 00:06:07,497 Speaker 1: wives too. Our wives were there. But how's he doing 105 00:06:07,497 --> 00:06:09,057 Speaker 1: with all this legal stuff? You know, as you and 106 00:06:09,057 --> 00:06:11,537 Speaker 1: I said here talking, there's the there's like a lawsuit 107 00:06:11,577 --> 00:06:14,217 Speaker 1: in New York. He's got the criminal trials you know 108 00:06:14,297 --> 00:06:16,737 Speaker 1: what's his what's his mindset? 109 00:06:16,857 --> 00:06:21,537 Speaker 2: Like he's doing great. He really, like I said, has 110 00:06:21,977 --> 00:06:25,497 Speaker 2: a really strong group of a legal group around him 111 00:06:25,617 --> 00:06:28,217 Speaker 2: that is taking care of a lot of this fight 112 00:06:28,417 --> 00:06:31,977 Speaker 2: so he can remain focused on the political battle. But 113 00:06:32,097 --> 00:06:35,337 Speaker 2: he's in such great spirits. I mean, the man is 114 00:06:35,617 --> 00:06:38,257 Speaker 2: the energizer Bunny. I've said that a million times on 115 00:06:38,297 --> 00:06:41,337 Speaker 2: your show. Uh. He is always the one that everyone 116 00:06:41,457 --> 00:06:43,617 Speaker 2: is trying to keep up with, and he's having a 117 00:06:43,657 --> 00:06:48,057 Speaker 2: great time. I mean he has become dj DJT. He 118 00:06:48,217 --> 00:06:50,817 Speaker 2: is quite literally walking around mar A Lago with an 119 00:06:50,817 --> 00:06:54,497 Speaker 2: iPad playing music and he's so good at it. So 120 00:06:54,657 --> 00:06:57,577 Speaker 2: I would say he's in great spirits. He's very confident. 121 00:06:57,657 --> 00:07:00,617 Speaker 2: The campaign is very confident about where they're at right now, 122 00:07:00,657 --> 00:07:03,617 Speaker 2: and they should be. The polls are only going up. 123 00:07:03,777 --> 00:07:07,057 Speaker 2: And what you see from these legal battles is that 124 00:07:07,097 --> 00:07:11,377 Speaker 2: the Democrat strategy to attack him is actually hurting themselves. 125 00:07:11,417 --> 00:07:14,137 Speaker 2: So tail as old as time, my grandmother used to say, 126 00:07:14,137 --> 00:07:16,377 Speaker 2: you point a finger at someone and there's three pointing 127 00:07:16,377 --> 00:07:18,897 Speaker 2: back at you. That's what the Democrats are doing with 128 00:07:19,017 --> 00:07:22,057 Speaker 2: Donald Trump, and it really is coming back to bite them. 129 00:07:22,537 --> 00:07:25,337 Speaker 1: Want to come back and ask you about what it's 130 00:07:25,377 --> 00:07:27,057 Speaker 1: like to work an eight not just a white house, 131 00:07:27,657 --> 00:07:30,617 Speaker 1: a Trump white house, which I think is its own thing, 132 00:07:31,457 --> 00:07:34,057 Speaker 1: and get some of your insights on that one, and 133 00:07:34,097 --> 00:07:36,617 Speaker 1: also how you think we're shaping up against Joe Biden. 134 00:07:36,977 --> 00:07:38,937 Speaker 1: But from our sponsor here for a second, do you 135 00:07:38,977 --> 00:07:41,577 Speaker 1: feel prepared with everything going on in the country? Do 136 00:07:41,617 --> 00:07:44,057 Speaker 1: you find yourself thinking about self defense, home protection and 137 00:07:44,097 --> 00:07:47,497 Speaker 1: financial protection more than ever. One form of financial protection 138 00:07:47,617 --> 00:07:51,897 Speaker 1: is diversification. Gold has often been used to protect assets 139 00:07:51,897 --> 00:07:55,177 Speaker 1: against inflation. It's a global reserve asset. Countries are buying 140 00:07:55,217 --> 00:07:58,297 Speaker 1: massive amounts of gold as a hedge against inflation. It's 141 00:07:58,337 --> 00:08:02,137 Speaker 1: time to help protect yourself and invest in gold. Stop 142 00:08:02,177 --> 00:08:05,457 Speaker 1: thinking things are going to get better. You need to 143 00:08:05,457 --> 00:08:07,337 Speaker 1: look out for yourself and you look out for your family. 144 00:08:07,377 --> 00:08:09,217 Speaker 1: My friends at the Oxford Gold Group will help you 145 00:08:09,297 --> 00:08:11,857 Speaker 1: understand why you need gold in your four oh one 146 00:08:11,937 --> 00:08:13,697 Speaker 1: k or why you should have gold on hand.

I know that we could 156 00:08:45,657 --> 00:08:47,937 Speaker 1: sit here and he's so old, he so decrepit, he's 157 00:08:47,937 --> 00:08:50,297 Speaker 1: bad at being president. Like again, you and I got 158 00:08:50,337 --> 00:08:54,417 Speaker 1: to see that the same way. What worries you about 159 00:08:54,697 --> 00:08:57,897 Speaker 1: Trump v. Biden in terms of getting the outcome that 160 00:08:57,937 --> 00:09:00,537 Speaker 1: we want here, which is another four years of Trump? Like, 161 00:09:00,537 --> 00:09:03,817 Speaker 1: what are the concerns you see, either from a campaign 162 00:09:03,977 --> 00:09:07,657 Speaker 1: or just election day perspective that make you think, yeah, 163 00:09:07,897 --> 00:09:11,537 Speaker 1: Joe Biden may be awful, but it's not a sure 164 00:09:11,537 --> 00:09:12,657 Speaker 1: thing that Trump is going to win. 165 00:09:15,217 --> 00:09:18,497 Speaker 2: Well, I would say that nothing is ever a sure thing, 166 00:09:18,617 --> 00:09:22,537 Speaker 2: but I am very, very confident, overwhelmingly confident that this 167 00:09:22,737 --> 00:09:25,177 Speaker 2: is not going to be a tough fight for us, 168 00:09:25,297 --> 00:09:27,577 Speaker 2: and that President Trump will be back in that White 169 00:09:27,617 --> 00:09:31,177 Speaker 2: House come you know, this time next year. So when 170 00:09:31,177 --> 00:09:33,537 Speaker 2: it comes to fighting against Joe Biden, there are really 171 00:09:33,537 --> 00:09:35,537 Speaker 2: two things that you need to pay attention to. Number 172 00:09:35,577 --> 00:09:38,217 Speaker 2: one are the lies coming from himself and his team. 173 00:09:38,617 --> 00:09:41,537 Speaker 2: And number two are the lies coming from the mainstream 174 00:09:41,577 --> 00:09:44,897 Speaker 2: media who cover for them. So that really is the 175 00:09:44,937 --> 00:09:49,017 Speaker 2: hardest part about going up against them, because unfortunately, you know, 176 00:09:49,097 --> 00:09:52,457 Speaker 2: the average American, especially in the digital era that we 177 00:09:52,537 --> 00:09:55,497 Speaker 2: live in today, they're scrolling on their phone, they're looking 178 00:09:55,497 --> 00:09:58,897 Speaker 2: at the headlines. Sometimes they don't even realize that they're 179 00:09:58,897 --> 00:10:02,217 Speaker 2: reading an opinion piece. They think that it's a news article, 180 00:10:02,297 --> 00:10:05,137 Speaker 2: when in fact it's written by, you know, someone on 181 00:10:05,217 --> 00:10:09,257 Speaker 2: the Biden pay roll who's you know, written a ridiculous 182 00:10:09,337 --> 00:10:12,937 Speaker 2: headline in his favor. That is a lie. So those 183 00:10:13,017 --> 00:10:17,217 Speaker 2: things are really difficult to go against. It really is 184 00:10:17,697 --> 00:10:20,897 Speaker 2: finding a way to combat that narrative. But I believe 185 00:10:20,897 --> 00:10:24,097 Speaker 2: that you know, Trump has done a really amazing job 186 00:10:24,297 --> 00:10:27,177 Speaker 2: at doing that over the last seven years, and I 187 00:10:27,217 --> 00:10:30,257 Speaker 2: think they'll continue to do it in a number of ways. 188 00:10:30,377 --> 00:10:33,977 Speaker 2: Talking directly to the American people that he does every day, 189 00:10:34,097 --> 00:10:37,097 Speaker 2: regardless of if a judge is trying to give them 190 00:10:37,137 --> 00:10:41,297 Speaker 2: a gag order or not. He also utilizes the press 191 00:10:41,337 --> 00:10:44,297 Speaker 2: in a way that we have not seen anyone do 192 00:10:44,657 --> 00:10:49,537 Speaker 2: in our lifetime. He talks to everybody from local radio 193 00:10:49,817 --> 00:10:54,017 Speaker 2: to national TV shows like you that are streaming and 194 00:10:54,097 --> 00:10:57,737 Speaker 2: everything in between, so he knows how to get right 195 00:10:57,777 --> 00:11:01,657 Speaker 2: to the American people. He really is his best surrogate. 196 00:11:01,817 --> 00:11:04,377 Speaker 2: So you and I talked offline about, you know, who 197 00:11:04,417 --> 00:11:07,337 Speaker 2: are trumps surrogates at the end of the day. All 198 00:11:07,377 --> 00:11:10,337 Speaker 2: of the people around him they're helping, of course, but 199 00:11:10,497 --> 00:11:14,057 Speaker 2: Donald Trump is his own best surrogate, and the American 200 00:11:14,137 --> 00:11:17,737 Speaker 2: people want to hear directly from him, just as they 201 00:11:17,777 --> 00:11:20,577 Speaker 2: have for the last seven years. So you'll continue to 202 00:11:20,617 --> 00:11:23,777 Speaker 2: see that. But we really do need to focus on 203 00:11:23,897 --> 00:11:27,097 Speaker 2: having as many voices as many of those good surrogates 204 00:11:27,137 --> 00:11:31,097 Speaker 2: out there as possible in order to combat those lies 205 00:11:31,137 --> 00:11:33,697 Speaker 2: that are coming from the left. Because if you don't 206 00:11:33,737 --> 00:11:35,577 Speaker 2: talk to your neighbors, if you don't talk to your 207 00:11:35,617 --> 00:11:38,097 Speaker 2: family members and your friends, they're going to read things 208 00:11:38,377 --> 00:11:41,297 Speaker 2: and just take it as back. That's just the digital 209 00:11:41,297 --> 00:11:43,097 Speaker 2: world that we're in right now. So we have to 210 00:11:43,097 --> 00:11:46,617 Speaker 2: pay attention to those things and really explain and know 211 00:11:46,897 --> 00:11:50,017 Speaker 2: the policy and know the real the real reasoning of 212 00:11:50,217 --> 00:11:54,617 Speaker 2: what is reality versus what they're just spewing out on 213 00:11:54,737 --> 00:11:56,977 Speaker 2: the left side of the media. 214 00:11:57,057 --> 00:11:59,457 Speaker 1: So would you would you go back Roman? I know 215 00:11:59,497 --> 00:12:01,577 Speaker 1: you worked in the first Trump White House on the 216 00:12:01,737 --> 00:12:06,137 Speaker 1: communication side. I'm sure that's like a lot of jobs 217 00:12:06,217 --> 00:12:09,337 Speaker 1: in DC that are interesting. You see cool stuff, you 218 00:12:09,417 --> 00:12:12,217 Speaker 1: learn cool stuff, but there's also particular stresses and you 219 00:12:12,257 --> 00:12:14,417 Speaker 1: can get worn down with it. I'm sure the Trump 220 00:12:14,457 --> 00:12:16,977 Speaker 1: White House there was more of a sense of sense 221 00:12:16,977 --> 00:12:20,297 Speaker 1: of being besieged than you would have in a certainly 222 00:12:20,297 --> 00:12:23,417 Speaker 1: a Democrat or even a more you know, traditional Republican 223 00:12:23,457 --> 00:12:24,817 Speaker 1: White House. Would you go. 224 00:12:24,897 --> 00:12:32,377 Speaker 2: Back, Oh, absolutely absolutely. If President Trump calls, you answer 225 00:12:32,537 --> 00:12:35,417 Speaker 2: and you say yes, because you know that his agenda 226 00:12:35,497 --> 00:12:38,937 Speaker 2: is one for the American people. And I had such 227 00:12:38,977 --> 00:12:41,537 Speaker 2: an amazing time working for him the first time around. 228 00:12:42,177 --> 00:12:44,417 Speaker 2: It's such a blessing. Like you said, it's a lot 229 00:12:44,457 --> 00:12:47,857 Speaker 2: of work, it's little sleep, it's little pay. But there's 230 00:12:47,897 --> 00:12:51,817 Speaker 2: a reason that they call you public servants, civil servants. 231 00:12:51,897 --> 00:12:55,017 Speaker 2: You are there to quite literally serve the American people. 232 00:12:55,217 --> 00:12:57,977 Speaker 2: And so it's a sacrifice that I would definitely be 233 00:12:57,977 --> 00:12:59,937 Speaker 2: willing to make again. And you know, the work that 234 00:12:59,977 --> 00:13:04,057 Speaker 2: we did was life changing, and you know, hopefully one 235 00:13:04,137 --> 00:13:07,497 Speaker 2: day my children will see that, my future children will 236 00:13:07,537 --> 00:13:11,097 Speaker 2: see that that is going to change the entire world 237 00:13:11,177 --> 00:13:13,377 Speaker 2: for the better. You know, one more thing I'll just 238 00:13:13,457 --> 00:13:16,057 Speaker 2: add is that I do come from a family of immigrants, 239 00:13:16,097 --> 00:13:19,497 Speaker 2: and right now in the world stage, it is terrifying 240 00:13:19,617 --> 00:13:22,377 Speaker 2: to see what Joe Biden is doing, is doing not 241 00:13:22,417 --> 00:13:24,537 Speaker 2: only to our country but to the Middle East. 242 00:13:24,857 --> 00:13:26,817 Speaker 1: And you know, Aunty from where if you would tell 243 00:13:26,817 --> 00:13:28,577 Speaker 1: the audience, because I know you, but they don't know 244 00:13:28,697 --> 00:13:29,937 Speaker 1: your family immigrated for all? 245 00:13:30,977 --> 00:13:33,577 Speaker 2: Yes, yes, of course. So my father is from Iran, 246 00:13:33,697 --> 00:13:37,257 Speaker 2: He's Persian, and my mother is Egyptian and Yugoslavian, and 247 00:13:37,337 --> 00:13:39,617 Speaker 2: so all of these areas are you know, have their 248 00:13:39,657 --> 00:13:42,937 Speaker 2: own issues. And so when you look at a Biden 249 00:13:43,017 --> 00:13:45,737 Speaker 2: presidency and you look at a Trump presidency, I mean 250 00:13:45,857 --> 00:13:49,777 Speaker 2: year one, my father was crying on Christmas because Trump 251 00:13:49,817 --> 00:13:52,457 Speaker 2: moved the embassy to Israel. Those are the types of 252 00:13:52,537 --> 00:13:55,697 Speaker 2: things that you have in start contrast to the war 253 00:13:55,897 --> 00:13:59,457 Speaker 2: in Israel today. And so there really is no comparing 254 00:13:59,537 --> 00:14:04,497 Speaker 2: that and explaining that without saying, yes, I'm willing to 255 00:14:04,577 --> 00:14:08,097 Speaker 2: go back and get us into a more peaceful place 256 00:14:08,137 --> 00:14:08,857 Speaker 2: in this world. 257 00:14:09,737 --> 00:14:12,297 Speaker 1: I ask you, I mean, you're I know you. I 258 00:14:12,337 --> 00:14:15,457 Speaker 1: know roma uh. Personally, you're you're a nice person. I mean, 259 00:14:15,497 --> 00:14:20,217 Speaker 1: you're you're strong in your defense of Trump and your beliefs. 260 00:14:20,337 --> 00:14:22,417 Speaker 1: So I'm not asking to trash anybody, But I'm just wondering. 261 00:14:22,697 --> 00:14:25,017 Speaker 1: You formerly worked in the White House with Alyssa Ferrer, 262 00:14:25,057 --> 00:14:27,057 Speaker 1: who's over at the View now, and so Clay and 263 00:14:27,097 --> 00:14:30,937 Speaker 1: I will come across these clips on the View. I'm 264 00:14:30,977 --> 00:14:33,857 Speaker 1: just wondering, were you surprised when Alyssa decided to go 265 00:14:33,897 --> 00:14:37,697 Speaker 1: full Democrat and decide that she would repudiate working for 266 00:14:37,777 --> 00:14:39,617 Speaker 1: Trump and turn against him in that way, or did 267 00:14:39,657 --> 00:14:41,017 Speaker 1: you have some sense of it when you were in 268 00:14:41,017 --> 00:14:42,777 Speaker 1: the White House that maybe this wasn't gonna. 269 00:14:42,577 --> 00:14:47,697 Speaker 2: Work out, You know, Buck, I had no sense of it. 270 00:14:47,777 --> 00:14:51,097 Speaker 2: In the White House. She was very loyal. She frankly 271 00:14:51,177 --> 00:14:55,617 Speaker 2: was a good boss and was great at delegating. I 272 00:14:55,657 --> 00:14:59,537 Speaker 2: had plenty of authority to, you know, act and do 273 00:14:59,697 --> 00:15:04,057 Speaker 2: my role as needed. So it was a shock, I 274 00:15:04,097 --> 00:15:06,537 Speaker 2: will say when she departed. It was even more of 275 00:15:06,537 --> 00:15:10,337 Speaker 2: a shock to see her on TV on CNN her 276 00:15:10,377 --> 00:15:15,697 Speaker 2: first appearance, and since then, it really is just disheartening 277 00:15:15,857 --> 00:15:18,017 Speaker 2: to watch some of the things that she's saying on 278 00:15:18,097 --> 00:15:21,017 Speaker 2: TV because she really is a different person than she 279 00:15:21,177 --> 00:15:21,977 Speaker 2: was three years ago. 280 00:15:22,897 --> 00:15:25,177 Speaker 1: Because I saw her at the White House a couple 281 00:15:25,217 --> 00:15:28,257 Speaker 1: of times, and and I feel like she was so 282 00:15:29,017 --> 00:15:31,657 Speaker 1: you got the sense she was proud to be there 283 00:15:31,817 --> 00:15:35,737 Speaker 1: and just the full turnaround. I was just wondering how that. 284 00:15:36,177 --> 00:15:37,977 Speaker 1: You know, It's funny because when there are some people 285 00:15:38,057 --> 00:15:40,737 Speaker 1: like on the CIA side, I can tell you who 286 00:15:40,777 --> 00:15:44,217 Speaker 1: I knew and then became so senior that they became 287 00:15:44,297 --> 00:15:47,137 Speaker 1: the kind of people. You know, the director, the deputy director, 288 00:15:47,617 --> 00:15:49,377 Speaker 1: and ever goes, oh my gosh, that guy is such 289 00:15:49,377 --> 00:15:50,977 Speaker 1: a lib And I, yeah, I knew that. 290 00:15:51,657 --> 00:15:52,137 Speaker 2: I wasn't. 291 00:15:52,257 --> 00:15:54,257 Speaker 1: It wasn't a surprise. I knew that when they were 292 00:15:54,297 --> 00:15:56,497 Speaker 1: working at the CIA, like these people were not good 293 00:15:56,497 --> 00:15:58,897 Speaker 1: at hiding it. But that's a different thing, right. I 294 00:15:59,017 --> 00:16:01,857 Speaker 1: was surprised to see some of the way that there 295 00:16:01,937 --> 00:16:04,857 Speaker 1: have been really these these kind of turncoat situations coming 296 00:16:04,857 --> 00:16:07,537 Speaker 1: out of the coming out of Trump White House. But anyway, 297 00:16:07,937 --> 00:16:08,537 Speaker 1: I'm sure. 298 00:16:08,377 --> 00:16:11,937 Speaker 2: It was a mean say this Clay. I think it's 299 00:16:12,217 --> 00:16:15,617 Speaker 2: unfortunate to see not just her, Clay is. 300 00:16:15,617 --> 00:16:22,657 Speaker 1: The other guy. I gotta says, only on the podcast, 301 00:16:22,657 --> 00:16:24,257 Speaker 1: the Clay is on the radio show with me. 302 00:16:24,337 --> 00:16:25,897 Speaker 2: But this is great. No, I love that. It's all right. 303 00:16:26,257 --> 00:16:28,257 Speaker 2: I do it. I do it too. I do it too. 304 00:16:28,377 --> 00:16:32,457 Speaker 2: Keep going, blame Fox. They kept me up till happening. 305 00:16:34,097 --> 00:16:38,337 Speaker 3: Uh So no, I will say though it's it's not surprising, 306 00:16:38,937 --> 00:16:43,457 Speaker 3: and I do see a slight positive to the fact 307 00:16:43,577 --> 00:16:46,337 Speaker 3: that she and other people have come out against Trump. 308 00:16:46,977 --> 00:16:50,617 Speaker 2: Why because in our first term in the White House, 309 00:16:50,657 --> 00:16:53,257 Speaker 2: we had people who were leaking, We had people who 310 00:16:53,657 --> 00:16:58,017 Speaker 2: had hitted agendas. And I, as at the time, was 311 00:16:58,057 --> 00:17:01,617 Speaker 2: the director of Broadcast Media before being promoted, and my 312 00:17:01,817 --> 00:17:04,377 Speaker 2: role was to make sure that everyone we were putting 313 00:17:04,377 --> 00:17:07,817 Speaker 2: out in the media had one agenda, and that was 314 00:17:07,857 --> 00:17:11,457 Speaker 2: to further President Trump's agenda for the American people. 315 00:17:12,417 --> 00:17:16,537 Speaker 4: That didn't always happen, But since then, those people who 316 00:17:16,577 --> 00:17:19,537 Speaker 4: did have their own agenda have since come out with books, 317 00:17:19,897 --> 00:17:22,537 Speaker 4: They've since gone on talk shows, they have their own 318 00:17:22,857 --> 00:17:24,377 Speaker 4: very very public narrative. 319 00:17:24,777 --> 00:17:28,177 Speaker 2: So they've made themselves known. There's no longer hiding it. 320 00:17:28,737 --> 00:17:32,777 Speaker 2: And so the second term will be true fighters, true believers, 321 00:17:32,817 --> 00:17:36,897 Speaker 2: one hundred percent.
