WEBVTT - Buck Brief - Why is Trump Calling MTG a Traitor? 0:00:11.697 --> 0:00:14.937 You're listening to the Buck Sexton Show podcast, make sure 0:00:14.977 --> 0:00:17.977 you subscribe to the podcast on the iHeartRadio app or 0:00:18.017 --> 0:00:21.737 wherever you get your podcasts. What is going on with 0:00:21.977 --> 0:00:26.377 Marjorie Taylor Green and Trump? I thought they were also close, 0:00:26.697 --> 0:00:29.257 but things not as close as they used to be. 0:00:29.297 --> 0:00:32.097 Over there. We will discuss with our friend Ashley Brassfield. 0:00:32.497 --> 0:00:33.617 She is a. 0:00:33.617 --> 0:00:37.897 Reporter at the Daily Caller in DC, and she knows 0:00:37.937 --> 0:00:40.377 all the things happening on Capitol Hill, including this one. 0:00:40.697 --> 0:00:42.937 Is Ashley, good to see you again? What the heck 0:00:43.057 --> 0:00:45.417 is going on here? There was a time not long 0:00:45.457 --> 0:00:48.817 ago when MTG she even had the three letter you know, 0:00:48.857 --> 0:00:54.017 the acronym right aoc MTG. MTG was like the queen 0:00:54.057 --> 0:00:56.457 of Maga in the House of Representatives. 0:00:56.497 --> 0:00:59.217 And now they're saying mean things about each other. What happened? 0:01:00.057 --> 0:01:03.137 Yeah, it's the political breakup of the year, I would say, 0:01:03.257 --> 0:01:06.537 with MTG and President Trump. And yeah, so basically this 0:01:06.617 --> 0:01:08.417 all started back. I think what a lot of the 0:01:08.457 --> 0:01:10.617 reporting missing is. We saw a sixty minute interview last 0:01:10.697 --> 0:01:12.017 night with her, and I think they missed a lot 0:01:12.057 --> 0:01:15.137 of things. It wasn't just as all of a sudden explosion. 0:01:15.457 --> 0:01:17.337 It seemed there was things leading up to it. And 0:01:17.417 --> 0:01:19.697 I did a report on this and we looked into 0:01:20.017 --> 0:01:21.937 kind of like what happened from the beginning of the 0:01:21.937 --> 0:01:26.017 administration to now really and so what I found was, 0:01:26.097 --> 0:01:27.897 you know, we had the cabinet members coming out well 0:01:28.097 --> 0:01:31.377 MTG as we all know, a huge ally of President Trump. 0:01:31.457 --> 0:01:33.977 She actually never got an endorsement when she first ran 0:01:34.017 --> 0:01:35.857 for Congress in Georgia's fourteenth district. 0:01:35.857 --> 0:01:38.177 I'm from that area, so I remember it very well. 0:01:38.457 --> 0:01:40.337 So she kind of left Congress the same way she 0:01:40.417 --> 0:01:42.737 came in without an endorsement from Trump, I would say, 0:01:42.857 --> 0:01:45.657 So what happened was, you know, they'd never she never 0:01:45.657 --> 0:01:48.057 got a cabinet level. She stayed in Congress. She kind 0:01:48.097 --> 0:01:51.457 of headed the oversights DOGE sub committee, if you remember 0:01:51.457 --> 0:01:53.457 when all that was going down, cutting all the wais 0:01:53.537 --> 0:01:55.977 farm abuse, and so we kind of go on and 0:01:55.977 --> 0:01:58.737 that kind of phases out as Elon exits the administration 0:01:58.857 --> 0:02:01.697 at the time, and now we're talking about Senate and Georgia, 0:02:01.737 --> 0:02:04.177 which was a huge race going on right now, and 0:02:04.377 --> 0:02:05.977 you know, I think it would be wrong. I mean, 0:02:05.977 --> 0:02:08.017 Marjorie Taylor Green and the state of Georgia. She's the 0:02:08.337 --> 0:02:10.977 I would say head GOP female voice in the state, 0:02:11.217 --> 0:02:13.897 so why not consider a Senate race at the time, 0:02:14.297 --> 0:02:16.497 And from my reporting I found that she would. There 0:02:16.497 --> 0:02:19.017 was a pulling that came out specifically from some people 0:02:19.057 --> 0:02:22.577 in the administration or you know, friendlies in that area, 0:02:22.737 --> 0:02:24.737 and they kind of were trying to guess do her favor, 0:02:24.817 --> 0:02:26.977 is what I've heard, by showing her a poll saying 0:02:27.017 --> 0:02:29.577 she was not going to lose in the general election, 0:02:30.097 --> 0:02:31.337 showing her double digits down. 0:02:31.377 --> 0:02:33.937 So I don't think she was that she was going 0:02:33.977 --> 0:02:35.857 to lose. They showed her a poll saying you're you're 0:02:35.897 --> 0:02:37.497 going to get smoked, basically, okay. 0:02:37.377 --> 0:02:39.897 Keep going by double digits, by double digits, is what 0:02:39.897 --> 0:02:42.457 I'm hearing. So kind of doing a favor there so 0:02:42.497 --> 0:02:44.857 she doesn't have to get in the race embarrass her. 0:02:45.137 --> 0:02:47.097 And I think she is seen as quite an ally 0:02:47.137 --> 0:02:49.577 in Congress. I mean, she's pretty influential voice. You kind 0:02:49.577 --> 0:02:52.137 of always are seeing, you know, the spat clips of 0:02:52.177 --> 0:02:54.697 her and Jasmine Crockett going on. They talked about in 0:02:54.697 --> 0:02:57.417 the sixty eight minute interview, and so you know, I 0:02:57.417 --> 0:02:59.937 think that kind of was an upset right there a 0:03:00.017 --> 0:03:01.777 little bit, and that kind of left a. 0:03:01.737 --> 0:03:02.537 Wound in a way. 0:03:03.017 --> 0:03:05.177 So I think that's the first moment that you probably saw, 0:03:05.817 --> 0:03:07.737 and I don't think it's set well with her. So 0:03:08.337 --> 0:03:10.777 going on, you know, we saw some separation probably happened 0:03:10.777 --> 0:03:13.937 in the summertime over major issues started going on different 0:03:14.057 --> 0:03:17.897 you know, podcasts, whether it be liberal media, conservative media, 0:03:18.337 --> 0:03:20.937 and so you know, it was kind of I think 0:03:20.977 --> 0:03:23.297 with immigration was one of the vocal things she was 0:03:23.337 --> 0:03:27.737 talking about. I mean, Epstein, I don't think we can 0:03:27.737 --> 0:03:29.737 forget about that. That was what the point was that 0:03:29.777 --> 0:03:31.897 they were trying to emphasize. Was the breaking point when 0:03:31.897 --> 0:03:35.457 she signed the Discharge resolution with Thomas Massey, Lauren Bobert, 0:03:35.537 --> 0:03:38.017 and Nancy Mace. So that was seen as a hostile 0:03:38.057 --> 0:03:40.137 act and that was directly quoted from the White House 0:03:40.177 --> 0:03:42.857 at the time. So multiple issues that she separated from 0:03:42.857 --> 0:03:44.697 the president on. But you know, I talked to a 0:03:44.737 --> 0:03:46.897 lot of people and this is these are still issues 0:03:46.897 --> 0:03:48.817 we're talking about right now, and it is a question 0:03:48.897 --> 0:03:52.457 of Okay, did she see the puck before them admin 0:03:52.497 --> 0:03:55.777 did on things like affordability, the housing crisis going on 0:03:55.817 --> 0:03:57.977 the country, and kind of things that gen Z are 0:03:58.057 --> 0:04:00.097 very you know, hyped upon, and we're seeing some divides 0:04:00.137 --> 0:04:01.017 in the conservative movement. 0:04:01.017 --> 0:04:01.737 I would say right. 0:04:01.617 --> 0:04:04.737 Now she was, yeah, she I remember she was very 0:04:04.777 --> 0:04:08.497 fired up over the Epstein file stuff. Yes, yeah, I 0:04:08.537 --> 0:04:11.617 would she she's I've been big on the Israel committed 0:04:11.657 --> 0:04:14.977 a genocide in Gaza thing, which yeah, I didn't see 0:04:14.977 --> 0:04:18.057 that one coming. How did that at any background or 0:04:18.057 --> 0:04:20.297 any insight on that one that that seemed to catch 0:04:20.337 --> 0:04:22.057 some of maga, I think by surprise. 0:04:22.777 --> 0:04:24.617 Yeah, I'm glad you brought that up. I did hear. 0:04:24.697 --> 0:04:27.217 You know, I think some riffs were happening with Mike Johnson. 0:04:27.257 --> 0:04:29.177 You've seen that, even with the least aphonics, which I've 0:04:29.177 --> 0:04:32.017 found interesting. But that issue, you know, Congress voted i 0:04:32.017 --> 0:04:35.817 think about twenty two times on a resolution to you know, 0:04:36.137 --> 0:04:38.937 take down anti Semitism, and I think there was growing 0:04:38.977 --> 0:04:40.897 frustration with that because you know, it was just kind 0:04:40.937 --> 0:04:44.137 of this facade show that oh we just we'd announced 0:04:44.177 --> 0:04:47.057 anti semitism and nothing was really getting done. So I 0:04:47.057 --> 0:04:49.617 think there was frustration there that it was continuously in 0:04:49.657 --> 0:04:51.657 her time in Congress, being brought to the floor, and 0:04:51.697 --> 0:04:54.177 it was you know, you can denounce it, obviously, but 0:04:54.217 --> 0:04:56.257 twenty two times I think she was thinking maybe it 0:04:56.297 --> 0:04:58.897 was overkill, and there was frustration there because of the 0:04:58.897 --> 0:05:01.937 factors like affordability were not being considered at the time. 0:05:01.937 --> 0:05:03.737 And I know that's a buzzword for both sides, but 0:05:04.057 --> 0:05:06.537 I mean we see now President Trump's going on affordability tour, 0:05:06.657 --> 0:05:08.897 so you know, seeing that Puck I think was the 0:05:08.897 --> 0:05:11.657 main thing there in that issue. But you know, there 0:05:11.737 --> 0:05:14.177 was hostility I would say, with the Speaker and that 0:05:14.417 --> 0:05:16.977 really came to it, and with President Trump and her fighting. 0:05:17.097 --> 0:05:21.137 And also I think another factor that's misguided here was 0:05:21.177 --> 0:05:23.417 the fact, you know, she would take shots at White 0:05:23.417 --> 0:05:27.857 House staff, and to a certain extent, she could continue 0:05:27.897 --> 0:05:30.137 to do that, not taking a direct shot at President Trump. 0:05:30.577 --> 0:05:33.057 But you know, these are people around the president. And 0:05:33.097 --> 0:05:36.457 also when it comes to deals like Argentino for specifically, 0:05:36.777 --> 0:05:39.377 you know, you can't criticize Justice staff when he's the 0:05:39.417 --> 0:05:41.417 one that's you know, his thing is negotiating. 0:05:41.457 --> 0:05:45.297 I would say, yeah, I mean, you've got now the president, 0:05:46.177 --> 0:05:47.497 this is this is for the New York Post that 0:05:47.537 --> 0:05:54.817 a demanding an apology from sixty minutes and also very 0:05:54.897 --> 0:05:57.897 upset with so that's over the Hunter Biden laptop, which 0:05:57.937 --> 0:06:01.297 that has not his positioning on that certainly hasn't changed, 0:06:01.817 --> 0:06:05.697 and fumed about outgoing GOP Rep. Margie Taylor Green and 0:06:05.817 --> 0:06:09.137 called her a trader. In a truth social ran, he wrote, 0:06:09.257 --> 0:06:14.937 the only reason Marjorie Trader Brown Green turns brown what 0:06:15.377 --> 0:06:19.817 under stress went bad all caps is that she was 0:06:19.937 --> 0:06:23.817 jilted by the President of the United States. Certainly not 0:06:23.977 --> 0:06:26.537 the first time she has been jilted. I actually didn't 0:06:26.577 --> 0:06:28.817 see this until you came, dear. 0:06:29.297 --> 0:06:31.817 Wow. Trump is very unhappy. 0:06:31.337 --> 0:06:33.457 With her, very unhappy. 0:06:33.497 --> 0:06:35.737 You know. I think everybody was expecting, you know, this 0:06:35.817 --> 0:06:37.617 few to kind of come to an and eventually and 0:06:37.657 --> 0:06:40.017 I'm not sure you know, there's bad blood there. We 0:06:40.097 --> 0:06:42.177 saw Elon and him kind of make up in ways. 0:06:42.857 --> 0:06:45.017 But you know, I mean, Marjorie Taylor Green, she supported 0:06:45.017 --> 0:06:47.257 Trump when he really didn't support her. So I think 0:06:47.417 --> 0:06:49.937 it is kind of a feeling of us being scorn 0:06:50.017 --> 0:06:51.457 in a lot of ways. And just kind of to 0:06:51.457 --> 0:06:53.897 give you some insight, I think there is She's made 0:06:53.937 --> 0:06:56.857 some comments specifically at you know, men and saying, you 0:06:56.897 --> 0:06:59.377 know that they're weak men, and she won't say direct names. 0:06:59.377 --> 0:07:01.217 There's just a bunch of weak men in Congress. But 0:07:01.617 --> 0:07:03.337 you know, to frame it as well, for the state 0:07:03.377 --> 0:07:05.897 of Georgia, you have Governor Brian Kimp at the time, 0:07:06.217 --> 0:07:08.737 especially after the twenty twenty election where you saw Trump 0:07:08.737 --> 0:07:11.457 and him feuding, and Marjorie Taylor Green took Trump's side 0:07:11.497 --> 0:07:13.577 on that. So I don't think she's made a bunch 0:07:13.617 --> 0:07:17.977 of friends with people like Governor Kemp and even others 0:07:18.017 --> 0:07:20.217 that are in Congress that kind of have tried to 0:07:20.217 --> 0:07:21.417 get their way in Georgia. 0:07:21.497 --> 0:07:23.017 I don't think she's friends with a lot of them. 0:07:23.057 --> 0:07:24.777 So I think she's taking shots in that in and 0:07:24.817 --> 0:07:26.497 I don't know how good a messaging that is, but 0:07:26.577 --> 0:07:28.297 I mean that's a factor as well. I think it 0:07:28.337 --> 0:07:31.057 was a culmination of things that wasn't simply Jeffrey Epstein 0:07:31.097 --> 0:07:32.457 and it blew up like that. 0:07:33.417 --> 0:07:35.617 Wait to come back here and talk about something else 0:07:35.657 --> 0:07:39.257 on the political scene that I think it's going to 0:07:39.257 --> 0:07:41.657 be getting a lot of attention, Ashley, and that is 0:07:41.777 --> 0:07:45.017 that it looks like Jasmine Crockett it's gonna be running 0:07:45.017 --> 0:07:45.417 for Senate. 0:07:45.977 --> 0:07:47.297 That has come out today. 0:07:47.337 --> 0:07:50.457 So this is something that we shall be talking about 0:07:50.497 --> 0:07:53.137 here momentarily.

It is great stuff, all right, Ashley. 0:08:39.017 --> 0:08:44.337 Jasmine Crockett is seriously thinking that she is going to 0:08:44.417 --> 0:08:48.417 be able to run for Senate and people might vote 0:08:48.417 --> 0:08:49.737 for her. Tell me more about this. 0:08:50.857 --> 0:08:53.057 Yeah, you know, this is the state of Texas we're 0:08:53.057 --> 0:08:53.657 talking about. 0:08:53.897 --> 0:08:55.577 And it makes me laugh because I think the only 0:08:55.817 --> 0:08:57.937 one they thought had a chance was Beto Arouric, And 0:08:57.977 --> 0:09:00.817 now you have kind of Jasmin Crockett who's a very 0:09:00.977 --> 0:09:03.057 vocal voice in Congress. I think you would equate her 0:09:03.057 --> 0:09:05.737 into the AOC bubble if anything, and talk about two 0:09:05.737 --> 0:09:07.737 people that spat a lot was Marjorie Taylor Green and 0:09:07.817 --> 0:09:11.377 Josmin Crockett. But you know, she's got this, she puts 0:09:11.377 --> 0:09:13.377 on these you know, kind of facades. I feel like 0:09:13.417 --> 0:09:15.577 a lot of the time, you know, whether whatever room 0:09:15.657 --> 0:09:17.697 she's in, you know, I think if she's talking to 0:09:17.777 --> 0:09:19.697 a group of you know, African American, she kind of 0:09:19.697 --> 0:09:23.377 puts on this sassy aspect about her and kind of 0:09:23.417 --> 0:09:25.457 tries to appeal for them. But she I think her education, 0:09:25.497 --> 0:09:28.897 if I'm correct, is a lot of higher up education. 0:09:29.177 --> 0:09:31.657 I don't think she came from a poor background to 0:09:31.657 --> 0:09:32.257 say the least. 0:09:32.257 --> 0:09:35.697 So it's fancy, a fancy private school is what you're 0:09:35.737 --> 0:09:36.257 referring to. 0:09:36.857 --> 0:09:39.137 Yes, and of course law school as well, so that's 0:09:39.177 --> 0:09:42.257 not that's not cheap either. So it's a little confusing 0:09:42.257 --> 0:09:44.617 to me how she would appeal to voters in Texas 0:09:44.657 --> 0:09:47.657 and specifically where it's a very red state. In my opinion, 0:09:47.817 --> 0:09:49.457 I think if you want to look at a Canada, 0:09:49.537 --> 0:09:51.017 that might be a little bit more risky as this 0:09:51.097 --> 0:09:54.257 James Talerico individual from the Democrat side. I think he's 0:09:54.417 --> 0:09:57.097 tried to become a preacher, and he's I think from 0:09:57.217 --> 0:09:58.017 Austin area. 0:09:58.097 --> 0:09:59.857 He's a state legislator or state senator. 0:10:00.057 --> 0:10:02.337 He was on Joe Rogan and I could tell from 0:10:02.337 --> 0:10:05.097 that interview I kind of read it really soon after. 0:10:05.137 --> 0:10:06.377 I was like, he's going to try and make a 0:10:06.377 --> 0:10:08.137 bit himself. So she's got to go up in the 0:10:08.137 --> 0:10:11.457 primary against tech types like him. You know, he's a 0:10:11.457 --> 0:10:14.257 white male, tries to say that he's, you know, going 0:10:14.337 --> 0:10:16.217 to be a preacher. He's got some stuff come out 0:10:16.257 --> 0:10:19.657 interesting enough about following only fans models, so it's it's 0:10:19.697 --> 0:10:20.417 an interesting group. 0:10:21.017 --> 0:10:23.417 He goes the guy that got Della free, following the 0:10:23.497 --> 0:10:24.617 only fans. 0:10:25.137 --> 0:10:25.977 Models or whatever. 0:10:25.977 --> 0:10:27.737 I don't know if bottles is even really the word, 0:10:27.777 --> 0:10:30.177 but yeah, wow, okay. 0:10:30.057 --> 0:10:32.057 Yeah, creators whatever you want to call it. 0:10:32.337 --> 0:10:37.977 Yeah, only fans something or others. That is a remarkable. 0:10:37.377 --> 0:10:37.977 State of affairs. 0:10:38.097 --> 0:10:41.297 But anyway, another funny, another funny thing about Jasmine Crockett. 0:10:41.297 --> 0:10:43.897 You have to remember too, her most recent uh I 0:10:43.897 --> 0:10:46.817 guess you know, mistake in the media was her talking 0:10:46.897 --> 0:10:49.817 about Lee Zelden getting a contribution from Jeffrey Epstein. But 0:10:49.857 --> 0:10:53.297 it was actually a doctor Jeffrey Epstein in New York City. 0:10:53.297 --> 0:10:55.457 So that's what we're dealing with Jasmin Crockett, and you know, 0:10:55.537 --> 0:10:57.697 trying to double down of oh, we got to figure 0:10:57.737 --> 0:10:59.617 out who this guy is instead of just saying I've 0:10:59.617 --> 0:11:00.457 got it wrong. You know. 0:11:00.617 --> 0:11:02.617 So that's the type of person Jasmin Crockett is. 0:11:02.657 --> 0:11:05.017 Well, you know that when she when she got caught 0:11:05.257 --> 0:11:08.177 and and everyone realized that this was I spent a 0:11:08.177 --> 0:11:10.577 good chunk of time on radio talking about that story. 0:11:10.577 --> 0:11:11.857 I'm glad you reminded me of it. 0:11:12.657 --> 0:11:15.657 I went I went back and I was finding, well, 0:11:15.817 --> 0:11:17.977 how what's the cleanup that she's going to do on this? 0:11:18.297 --> 0:11:20.977 It'd be like, usually be all my staff, right, as 0:11:21.017 --> 0:11:21.457 my staff. 0:11:21.537 --> 0:11:23.337 She did throw the staff under the bus a little bit, 0:11:23.337 --> 0:11:25.257 but then she did I didn't say it was that, 0:11:25.417 --> 0:11:26.737 Jeffrey Epstein. 0:11:26.417 --> 0:11:31.777 She actually pulled. She actually pulled the I said, Jeffrey, yeah, 0:11:31.777 --> 0:11:32.617 it's not wrong. 0:11:33.817 --> 0:11:35.977 Yes, And she always throws her staff under the bus. 0:11:35.977 --> 0:11:37.457 I mean, these are the people that have to carry 0:11:37.497 --> 0:11:40.137 her purse around. So in Congress, it's kind of well 0:11:40.177 --> 0:11:42.817 known within the Hill that she's kind of got that 0:11:42.857 --> 0:11:45.657 personality about her. But yeah, I don't think it's gonna 0:11:45.657 --> 0:11:48.377 sit well with Texas voters. I mean it's a red state, 0:11:48.657 --> 0:11:51.737 and I know people worried about after a bunch of Californians, 0:11:51.777 --> 0:11:53.377 you know, moved there after COVID that it was going 0:11:53.417 --> 0:11:53.937 to turn blue. 0:11:53.977 --> 0:11:56.377 Well not even Beto or it can make it turn blue. 0:11:56.497 --> 0:11:59.657 So you know, what is it? What are you gonna do? 0:11:59.697 --> 0:12:02.537 You know there's a famous line in now that you're 0:12:02.577 --> 0:12:03.057 way too. 0:12:02.897 --> 0:12:04.737 Young for this, But some of our listeners on what 0:12:04.737 --> 0:12:09.657 I'm talking about the show Cheers where they have the 0:12:09.697 --> 0:12:14.697 guy Cliff says he's on Jeopardy and they ask and 0:12:14.937 --> 0:12:17.417 that the line is they're trying to find out who 0:12:17.457 --> 0:12:19.297 the people are, Like he's you know what the answer is, 0:12:19.297 --> 0:12:20.937 and he goes, three people who have never been in 0:12:20.937 --> 0:12:21.417 my kitchen? 0:12:21.497 --> 0:12:26.257 Is his answer technically true? Right? It's like, who are 0:12:26.257 --> 0:12:28.697 the signers of the Declaration of independence? Three people who 0:12:28.737 --> 0:12:30.057 have never been in my kitchen? You know. 0:12:30.097 --> 0:12:33.417 It's like Jasmine Krackton went with the you know, I 0:12:33.457 --> 0:12:35.377 did say it was Jeffrey Epstein and there is a 0:12:35.457 --> 0:12:39.337 doctor Jeffrey Epstein. So she had she had that going 0:12:39.417 --> 0:12:40.337 for her, which is nice. 0:12:41.177 --> 0:12:43.137 Yeah, you can help, but cringe. I mean, you have 0:12:43.217 --> 0:12:44.457 to you have the two primaries you have. 0:12:44.417 --> 0:12:44.857 To worry about. 0:12:44.857 --> 0:12:47.337 There's so many things happening in states all over the place. 0:12:47.377 --> 0:12:49.217 But even on the Republican side, you have corn and 0:12:49.257 --> 0:12:52.097 Paxton and Wesley Hunt dueling it out on that side. 0:12:52.137 --> 0:12:54.177 So I think that will be interesting. And even if 0:12:54.217 --> 0:12:56.057 she can survive the primary in Texas, that's I guess. 0:12:56.057 --> 0:12:58.577 My next question are you are you following this Indiana 0:12:58.617 --> 0:13:01.737 redistricting thing at all or is this too boring for you? 0:13:01.777 --> 0:13:04.737 No? I am. I know that the Republicans have about 0:13:04.737 --> 0:13:07.697 seven seats, the two seats are Democrats, and we're. 0:13:07.497 --> 0:13:09.457 Looking hold on, we're gonna come let's come back, and 0:13:09.537 --> 0:13:10.017 let's come back. 0:13:10.297 --> 0:13:12.577 You can tell everybody, because I get people sending me, 0:13:13.057 --> 0:13:15.297 particularly Indiana listeners, who are angry. They're like, what are 0:13:15.297 --> 0:13:17.377 you gonna do about this? Well, first of all, I 0:13:17.377 --> 0:13:19.017 don't know what I can do about this, but they're 0:13:19.097 --> 0:13:19.577 very upsetting. 0:13:19.857 --> 0:13:21.457 Something do something, Buck. 0:13:21.497 --> 0:13:23.577 I'm like, I will try, but we'll come back and 0:13:23.577 --> 0:13:25.697 we'll do that.

Okay Ashley, Indiana. 0:14:09.297 --> 0:14:10.017 Here, here's what's going on. 0:14:10.857 --> 0:14:15.977 State Senate GOP leader Roderick Bray mollified his stance on 0:14:16.057 --> 0:14:19.577 the likelihood of his caucus approving the new maps, so 0:14:20.377 --> 0:14:25.417 he has reiterated his opposition. Why is it that all 0:14:25.417 --> 0:14:26.777 this is the question I get, and you can try 0:14:26.817 --> 0:14:28.337 to help me answer this. Why is it that when 0:14:28.377 --> 0:14:31.017 Republicans can do things that will help Republicans, they find 0:14:31.057 --> 0:14:34.097 ways to be like, no, that's mean to the Democrats, 0:14:34.417 --> 0:14:35.937 Like why wouldn't they just be a district to the 0:14:35.937 --> 0:14:37.417 maximum GOP advantage? 0:14:38.177 --> 0:14:39.657 Yeah, And I think I did a piece on this 0:14:39.697 --> 0:14:41.817 a while back, you know, when it was specifically talking 0:14:41.857 --> 0:14:44.657 about the Prop fifty going on in California as a 0:14:45.017 --> 0:14:48.217 I guess a newsom trying to battle back against Texas 0:14:48.257 --> 0:14:51.057 is what he says. But I think historically Democrats have 0:14:51.377 --> 0:14:53.857 used an advantage. I mean, you look at Illinois with Pritzker, 0:14:54.737 --> 0:14:56.937 and we saw that being a big issue during that 0:14:56.977 --> 0:14:57.617 fight itself. 0:14:57.617 --> 0:14:58.457 But I think you're right. 0:14:58.497 --> 0:15:01.617 I mean, this is going directly against what President Trump wants, 0:15:01.697 --> 0:15:03.457 and so they're taking a lot of heat from it, 0:15:03.497 --> 0:15:06.057 is what I'm seeing. But you know, Indiana has seven 0:15:06.097 --> 0:15:09.697 Republicans to Democrats. These two Democrat districts, I believe it's 0:15:09.697 --> 0:15:13.057 splitting Indianapolis if I can remember correctly, into four segments, 0:15:13.177 --> 0:15:15.097 and that's kind of the blue district. 0:15:14.817 --> 0:15:18.697 That they're worried about. But I guess what are the listeners. 0:15:18.737 --> 0:15:20.977 I want to ask you, what are they so angry about, 0:15:20.977 --> 0:15:23.937 I mean, against the state leader's stance going against it. 0:15:24.337 --> 0:15:27.977 Yeah, they just feel like they feel like when you 0:15:27.977 --> 0:15:31.057 brought up Illinois, for example, you look at that map 0:15:31.097 --> 0:15:32.897 and it's laughable, right. I mean, it's just meant to be. 0:15:33.577 --> 0:15:37.777 They're just doing whatever they can. But somehow Republicans, when 0:15:37.817 --> 0:15:40.697 they have a clear field, they have the clear advantage, 0:15:40.817 --> 0:15:43.617 they're like, well, we don't want to do too much 0:15:43.657 --> 0:15:46.137 of what the Democrats do when it comes to redistricting. 0:15:46.497 --> 0:15:48.657 And I think people get pretty ticked off, especially when 0:15:48.697 --> 0:15:50.457 that's happening in red states, like those of us who 0:15:50.497 --> 0:15:52.377 are fighting it out in purple states. So the Florida's 0:15:52.377 --> 0:15:54.937 pretty red now fight it out in purple states, feel like, 0:15:55.337 --> 0:15:57.337 if only we could do that here. So I think 0:15:57.337 --> 0:16:01.057 there's just a frustration that some people don't understand what 0:16:01.057 --> 0:16:01.537 time it is. 0:16:02.777 --> 0:16:06.337 Yeah, it's this I guess establishment thought process is my 0:16:06.377 --> 0:16:08.777 thought on it, I guess, and I agree. 0:16:08.817 --> 0:16:09.097 I think. 0:16:09.177 --> 0:16:12.257 I mean, you had people like a former attorney general 0:16:12.257 --> 0:16:14.777 for Obama go to places like Alabama to fight a 0:16:14.777 --> 0:16:16.817 battle like this, and a lot of people don't remember that. 0:16:17.097 --> 0:16:19.497 But I mean, if you are looking at you're looking 0:16:19.537 --> 0:16:22.017 at the House that's kind of on teetering right now, 0:16:22.177 --> 0:16:25.217 read going into the twenty twenty six election due to retirements, 0:16:25.737 --> 0:16:27.177 special elections going on. 0:16:27.337 --> 0:16:29.177 So I mean this is the time. 0:16:28.977 --> 0:16:31.217 To you know, for Republicans to get ahead in this 0:16:31.337 --> 0:16:33.737 sense and to do what needs to be done on 0:16:33.777 --> 0:16:36.377 their end. I mean, Democrats have set the standard in 0:16:36.377 --> 0:16:37.977 the precedent in my opinion, in this case. 0:16:38.337 --> 0:16:39.377 So I mean you're right. 0:16:39.457 --> 0:16:41.977 I think there is an issue when you know state 0:16:42.017 --> 0:16:44.537 Republicans don't want to put their best foot forward and 0:16:44.577 --> 0:16:46.697 make the change. And I mean, I can understand why 0:16:46.777 --> 0:16:48.937 Republican voters are have an issue with this. 0:16:49.577 --> 0:16:51.657 But it's always the case that some of some of 0:16:51.697 --> 0:16:54.497 the worst Republicans. And I actually will credit my friend 0:16:54.617 --> 0:16:57.297 Jesse Kelly with constantly pounding this drum some of the 0:16:57.337 --> 0:16:58.177 worst Republicans. 0:16:58.177 --> 0:16:59.537 You get an elected officer. 0:16:59.257 --> 0:17:03.857 In the reddest states, Yeah, you see Utah, Wyoming. They 0:17:03.857 --> 0:17:07.697 give us these Republicans and you go way second, this is. 0:17:07.657 --> 0:17:09.177 What the voters wanted in your state. 0:17:09.217 --> 0:17:11.417 But I think it's just it's easy to get complacent 0:17:11.457 --> 0:17:14.177 and lazy when everyone around you is also a Republican. 0:17:15.097 --> 0:17:17.337 Well make it a point too, to realize, you know, 0:17:17.377 --> 0:17:19.537 these are the people you're putting in an elected office. 0:17:19.617 --> 0:17:21.257 I mean, you got to understand the type of people 0:17:21.297 --> 0:17:22.817 that you're electing. And I say this all the time. 0:17:23.017 --> 0:17:25.217
