1 00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:03,360 Speaker 1: Welcome to today's edition of The Clay Travis and Buck 2 00:00:03,400 --> 00:00:04,720 Speaker 1: Sexton Show podcast. 3 00:00:05,600 --> 00:00:08,840 Speaker 2: Welcome to The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show. Everybody, 4 00:00:08,920 --> 00:00:12,880 Speaker 2: strap your ears in because we are at lift off. 5 00:00:12,920 --> 00:00:15,040 Speaker 2: We got a lot to talk about here. We are 6 00:00:15,160 --> 00:00:18,720 Speaker 2: stacked with stories much going on in the world today. 7 00:00:20,079 --> 00:00:23,160 Speaker 2: We will have Congressman Jim Jordan in the second hour 8 00:00:23,239 --> 00:00:28,240 Speaker 2: of program talking to us about well a number of 9 00:00:28,440 --> 00:00:30,480 Speaker 2: issues that you will want to hear about, more than 10 00:00:30,480 --> 00:00:33,680 Speaker 2: we could even get into you right now. We also 11 00:00:34,040 --> 00:00:38,360 Speaker 2: are going to be discussing the latest on the GOP 12 00:00:38,520 --> 00:00:42,440 Speaker 2: primary heading into New Hampshire. Clay keeps asking the question, 13 00:00:42,520 --> 00:00:44,760 Speaker 2: both on this show and to me and text message 14 00:00:44,760 --> 00:00:47,520 Speaker 2: and phone call after the show, what is the path? 15 00:00:47,800 --> 00:00:50,120 Speaker 2: And I keep looking at them saying, for anyone not 16 00:00:50,200 --> 00:00:52,040 Speaker 2: named Trump, I don't know what the path is, but 17 00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:54,200 Speaker 2: they seem to think there's a path. So we shall 18 00:00:54,800 --> 00:00:58,040 Speaker 2: discuss this for sure, get into some of the details. 19 00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:01,000 Speaker 2: JP Morgan's Jamie Dine and getting a lot of attention 20 00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:05,759 Speaker 2: for saying Trump was right on some things, and then 21 00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:09,720 Speaker 2: some additional Look, it's the speculation Olympics with some of 22 00:01:09,720 --> 00:01:14,120 Speaker 2: this stuff. They're just going to keep saying, you know, oh, 23 00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:16,360 Speaker 2: maybe it's going to be this vice president. Maybe it's 24 00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:18,399 Speaker 2: going to be that vice president. They're going to be 25 00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:23,560 Speaker 2: doing everything in their power to try to get everyone 26 00:01:23,720 --> 00:01:29,120 Speaker 2: through this media cycle of oh, this vice president. We'll 27 00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:31,039 Speaker 2: talk about. There are a couple more names that we 28 00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:33,080 Speaker 2: find interesting that are in the mix today, so we 29 00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:36,479 Speaker 2: shall discuss that. But I think I know, we got 30 00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:39,720 Speaker 2: a few days until the New Hampshire primary. We'll certainly 31 00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:42,759 Speaker 2: dive into that. But for me, right now, biggest story 32 00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:48,920 Speaker 2: in the country is that Republicans are considering an immigration deal. 33 00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:51,800 Speaker 2: At least some Republicans are. It's being crafted in the Senate. 34 00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:56,000 Speaker 2: You got Chuck Schumer going out there saying that this 35 00:01:56,320 --> 00:02:00,200 Speaker 2: is great and that it's so bipartisan. And now I 36 00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:03,600 Speaker 2: don't want to be overly simplistic, but that means that 37 00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:06,520 Speaker 2: this is terrible. And the more you dive into this, 38 00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:11,280 Speaker 2: the more you recognize right away this immigration deal, whatever 39 00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:14,400 Speaker 2: it's going to be, is going to do nothing other 40 00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:19,600 Speaker 2: than help Democrats and weak Republicans In a year where 41 00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:22,520 Speaker 2: there should be a reckoning on the wide open border 42 00:02:22,919 --> 00:02:25,760 Speaker 2: that we have. The headline here on the Wall Street 43 00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:29,760 Speaker 2: Journal was Biden a sedes to tougher immigration policy to 44 00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:34,120 Speaker 2: deflect criticism and secure Ukraine Aid. Clay, there's so much 45 00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:38,400 Speaker 2: going on here that's wrong. But here here's Republican Maria Salazar. 46 00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:45,480 Speaker 2: It's actually my congresswoman who is calling for legalization of 47 00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:49,880 Speaker 2: everybody who has been here more than five years play seven. 48 00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:53,040 Speaker 3: It's very important because this is the only bill in 49 00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:56,600 Speaker 3: Congress that is bypartisan and not only that, it accomplishes 50 00:02:56,680 --> 00:02:59,960 Speaker 3: exactly what the country needs to steal the voters, secure 51 00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:02,880 Speaker 3: the border. And once that is done, once that border 52 00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:05,480 Speaker 3: is secured, then we look back and we give some 53 00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:08,239 Speaker 3: type of dignity to those people who have been here 54 00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:11,360 Speaker 3: for more than five years, who are contributing with your economy. 55 00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:15,040 Speaker 3: Like my colleague said, this is dignity. Is not an 56 00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:18,520 Speaker 3: immigration reform law. This is a national security is an 57 00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:21,720 Speaker 3: economic bill, because you know that the business sector is 58 00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:24,640 Speaker 3: saying we need hands. Those hands are here, we just 59 00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:27,760 Speaker 3: need to legalize them. I'm not talking about citizenship. I'm 60 00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:29,960 Speaker 3: talking about dignity, not amnesty. 61 00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:30,800 Speaker 4: Dignity. 62 00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:34,520 Speaker 2: No, she's talking about amnesty. Clay. She can say it's dignity, 63 00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:37,560 Speaker 2: but it's actually amnesty. And this is a disaster and 64 00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:40,800 Speaker 2: a Republicans fall for this, they deserve to get crushed 65 00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:41,320 Speaker 2: in the fall. 66 00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:42,200 Speaker 1: Yeah. 67 00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:45,200 Speaker 5: I think the entire concept here of trying to link 68 00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:49,520 Speaker 5: aid for Ukraine and aid for our own border is 69 00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:53,080 Speaker 5: broken at the outset. And I don't like the idea 70 00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:55,880 Speaker 5: because what it presumes is some sort of grand bargain. 71 00:03:56,520 --> 00:04:00,720 Speaker 5: But we shouldn't be bargaining when it comes to taking 72 00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:04,680 Speaker 5: care of our own country's border security. And I give 73 00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:06,480 Speaker 5: you credit because you were the first person that I 74 00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:11,160 Speaker 5: ever heard say it, but the obsession that Joe Biden 75 00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:16,200 Speaker 5: has had with protecting every square mile of Ukrainian territory, which, 76 00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:19,280 Speaker 5: by the way, it's going really bad in Ukraine. Do 77 00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:23,159 Speaker 5: you know that you haven't heard anything really about Ukraine 78 00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:27,480 Speaker 5: for some time since? Remember the much vaunted summer offensive 79 00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:29,920 Speaker 5: that was coming from Ukraine that was going to put 80 00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:32,839 Speaker 5: Russia back on its heels and was going to really 81 00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:37,880 Speaker 5: make Vladimir Putin. How it hasn't happened, and also the 82 00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:42,440 Speaker 5: Russian economy hasn't collapsed. In fact, all those Western business 83 00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:48,000 Speaker 5: interests basically were just given to Vladimir Putin's capitalist krony 84 00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:52,520 Speaker 5: oligarch friends. And so you know, for instance, McDonald's they 85 00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:56,040 Speaker 5: renamed and just handed all of the McDonald's assets. And 86 00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:59,960 Speaker 5: I'm just using that as one company example to an 87 00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:04,200 Speaker 5: a friend and a colleague and a supporter of Vladimir Putin. 88 00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:09,359 Speaker 5: So the money actually has all gotten repatriated, the assets 89 00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:13,040 Speaker 5: into Russia, and they've become somewhat more reliant than they 90 00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:17,880 Speaker 5: ever were before. And meanwhile they have completely strengthened their lines, 91 00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:21,640 Speaker 5: and now they are slowly beginning and advance against Ukraine, 92 00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:24,920 Speaker 5: which doesn't have the manpower. I'm not talking about the material, 93 00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:27,960 Speaker 5: they don't have the manpower. Buck they have raised I 94 00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:31,640 Speaker 5: believe i'm correcting this a conscription age in Ukraine for 95 00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:34,880 Speaker 5: men up to sixty years old now, So if you 96 00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:37,400 Speaker 5: are eighteen to sixty. 97 00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:39,160 Speaker 2: In age, they are now drafting. 98 00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:39,320 Speaker 4: You. 99 00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:42,080 Speaker 5: Think about that, a fifty eight or fifty nine year 100 00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:44,240 Speaker 5: old guy. And I know some of you out there 101 00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:46,040 Speaker 5: listening to me are in pretty good shape, and you're 102 00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:49,680 Speaker 5: fifty eight or fifty nine, you're not. Nobody should be 103 00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:52,360 Speaker 5: right now trying to live in a trench, but much 104 00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:55,960 Speaker 5: less somebody who's approaching sixty years old. That's where Ukraine is. 105 00:05:56,040 --> 00:05:59,440 Speaker 5: So this connection buck at its most baseline level, I 106 00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:02,320 Speaker 5: don't see it being combated very much by Republicans just 107 00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:04,760 Speaker 5: saying this is a non starter on its face, that 108 00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:07,159 Speaker 5: we should ever link them in the first place. It's 109 00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:10,320 Speaker 5: all about evading accountability for the politicians who are going 110 00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:13,080 Speaker 5: to sign on to this, because what it does by 111 00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:16,160 Speaker 5: conflating things together in a bill that have actually nothing 112 00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:18,720 Speaker 5: to do with each other, they can say, oh, well, 113 00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:21,080 Speaker 5: I wasn't really it wasn't really about Ukraine. It was 114 00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:23,839 Speaker 5: about securing our border, and the people who really just 115 00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:26,320 Speaker 5: want to tell their constituents they're securing or that they're 116 00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:28,520 Speaker 5: helping Ukraine can say I don't really care about the border, 117 00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:30,280 Speaker 5: but I needed to get Ukraine that money. 118 00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:33,240 Speaker 2: This is why they do it. It's a version of 119 00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:36,040 Speaker 2: even what we saw with COVID, where the politician said 120 00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:38,920 Speaker 2: I'm not making decisions, it's the CDC, and the cd 121 00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:42,960 Speaker 2: said it's not us, it's the politicians. Nobody is ever accountable. 122 00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:45,400 Speaker 2: Don't let them get away with it. These things have 123 00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:47,920 Speaker 2: nothing to do with each other. The bill that they 124 00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:53,400 Speaker 2: are advancing is unseerious if anyone cares about stopping illegal 125 00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:56,040 Speaker 2: immigration in this country. Notice how she didn't talk about, well, 126 00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:57,720 Speaker 2: what happens if you've been here less than five years? 127 00:06:57,720 --> 00:07:00,120 Speaker 2: Which we know by the time Biden's up for re 128 00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:04,160 Speaker 2: election it'll be about eight million people. That's and by 129 00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:06,640 Speaker 2: the way, you know what happens to them, Oh, we're 130 00:07:06,640 --> 00:07:09,480 Speaker 2: gonna wait and wait and wait until their court hearings happen, 131 00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:11,600 Speaker 2: which is gonna be in ten years if ever, and 132 00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:13,760 Speaker 2: they're gonna say, you know what, they've been here ten years, 133 00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:16,760 Speaker 2: they should stay two. We are not idiots. We see 134 00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:19,120 Speaker 2: what they are trying to do. We recognize what they've 135 00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:20,840 Speaker 2: done in the past when there have been these mass 136 00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:24,160 Speaker 2: amnesties and this whole dignity not amnesty thing. If it's 137 00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:27,160 Speaker 2: so undignified, go back to your home country where you 138 00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:30,320 Speaker 2: have legal residency. This is nonsense, the stuff that they 139 00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:33,920 Speaker 2: are saying, Clay, we are losing our country. The Democrats 140 00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:37,200 Speaker 2: are on their back heels. The numbers are terrible for 141 00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:39,800 Speaker 2: them on this issue, terrible for Joe Biden on this issue. 142 00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:42,480 Speaker 2: And we're gonna give them a lifeline by having some 143 00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:46,120 Speaker 2: crappy bipartisan border bill in the election year. It's insane. 144 00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:48,640 Speaker 5: Yeah, and here's something I would like to hear more 145 00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:52,320 Speaker 5: discussion about, because even if Trump were to win and 146 00:07:52,360 --> 00:07:55,360 Speaker 5: become president in twenty twenty four. You know what would 147 00:07:55,360 --> 00:07:59,240 Speaker 5: happen is as soon as the mass deportations began, there 148 00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:03,520 Speaker 5: would be lost suits, there would be court shenanigans, there 149 00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:07,160 Speaker 5: would be total media opposition to the idea that anybody 150 00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:10,280 Speaker 5: should have to go back. They'll find kids getting separated, 151 00:08:10,280 --> 00:08:11,520 Speaker 5: they alleged from their parents. 152 00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:15,360 Speaker 2: What we really need is not just a wall. 153 00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:20,040 Speaker 5: We have to eliminate the incentive for people to want 154 00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:21,800 Speaker 5: to come here in the first place. And this is 155 00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:23,520 Speaker 5: why I keep coming back to it, and I hear 156 00:08:23,560 --> 00:08:26,600 Speaker 5: almost no one talking about it. We have to once 157 00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:30,280 Speaker 5: and for all in the idea of birthright citizenship by 158 00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:33,320 Speaker 5: soil in the United States. For people out there who 159 00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:36,480 Speaker 5: don't understand, if your mom or dad are a citizen 160 00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:39,480 Speaker 5: of the United States and you are born anywhere around 161 00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:43,760 Speaker 5: the world, you should and would be still a citizen 162 00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:44,480 Speaker 5: of the United States. 163 00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:45,440 Speaker 2: And I'm talking about that. 164 00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:48,120 Speaker 5: I'm talking about the idea that if you cross the 165 00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:52,600 Speaker 5: Rio Grande River, or you somehow fly in from China 166 00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:55,760 Speaker 5: and decide to stay at a luxury hospital in LA 167 00:08:56,040 --> 00:08:59,520 Speaker 5: for a couple of weeks, your kid that is then 168 00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:04,280 Speaker 5: born on American soil should not automatically become an American citizen. 169 00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:07,200 Speaker 5: I can't take away the incentive on jobs, but you 170 00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:08,600 Speaker 5: can take away that incentive. 171 00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:10,840 Speaker 2: I agree with you, but that's more even of a 172 00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:14,600 Speaker 2: long term incentive structure. Because we got thirty million illegals 173 00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:17,920 Speaker 2: in the country right now, right, so you know, yes, 174 00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:21,360 Speaker 2: you're completely correct, we have to end birthright citizenship. That 175 00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:24,080 Speaker 2: would be one piece of changing the incentive structure. The 176 00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:26,920 Speaker 2: immediate piece though, or the thing that has to happen 177 00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:30,600 Speaker 2: as soon as you have a Republican president in office, 178 00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:33,760 Speaker 2: which god willing is going to be almost one year 179 00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:36,560 Speaker 2: to the day from now, right, yeah, is you're going 180 00:09:36,559 --> 00:09:40,360 Speaker 2: to deport people who have come here illegally in large numbers. 181 00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:42,480 Speaker 2: Not one hundred thousand a year. It's going to have 182 00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:43,760 Speaker 2: to be a half a million. 183 00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:46,199 Speaker 5: To a million and a half millions to really impact things. 184 00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:49,200 Speaker 5: That's right, because the right people are coming in. Unless 185 00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:50,920 Speaker 5: you take people out at millions at a time, the 186 00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:52,240 Speaker 5: numbers keep going up, right. 187 00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:55,000 Speaker 2: That's this is why I saw the Biden number. They're like, 188 00:09:55,040 --> 00:09:58,720 Speaker 2: we've deported four hundred thousand people, Like you've let in 189 00:09:58,840 --> 00:10:03,280 Speaker 2: seven million, you have four hundred thousand. Those are good odds. 190 00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:05,319 Speaker 2: And by the way, how many of those four hundred 191 00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:08,760 Speaker 2: thousand you know, have have actually committed serious crimes or 192 00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:11,520 Speaker 2: are being deported for a specific reason beyond just their 193 00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:15,280 Speaker 2: illegality in this country. But the fact that Republicans are 194 00:10:15,320 --> 00:10:18,640 Speaker 2: even talking about this, I mean, let's let's remember something here. 195 00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:23,480 Speaker 2: The corrective mechanism to our wide open border is to 196 00:10:23,679 --> 00:10:26,440 Speaker 2: punish those who are in power who decided to do this, 197 00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:30,000 Speaker 2: and put people in power who at least have the 198 00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:33,920 Speaker 2: possibility of correcting it. Joe Biden came into office. I 199 00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:37,640 Speaker 2: want to remind everybody of this day one he says, 200 00:10:37,679 --> 00:10:41,559 Speaker 2: we are we are stopping all deportations. Clay, I think 201 00:10:41,559 --> 00:10:44,040 Speaker 2: it's for one hundred days, right, ninety days or hundredas 202 00:10:44,040 --> 00:10:47,600 Speaker 2: I think it was one hundred days, ceasing all deportations, 203 00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:50,680 Speaker 2: stopping the Remain in Mexico program. What you are seeing 204 00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:53,960 Speaker 2: happening at the border now is not an accident. It 205 00:10:54,240 --> 00:10:57,040 Speaker 2: is the result they wanted. It is a direct consequence 206 00:10:57,040 --> 00:10:59,920 Speaker 2: of what Joe Biden and the left wing Democrats wanted 207 00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:03,120 Speaker 2: for this country. And now that people are seeing it 208 00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:05,640 Speaker 2: in Clay, the numbers, the numbers that are coming out 209 00:11:05,679 --> 00:11:09,520 Speaker 2: about how people feel about this. This is why they're 210 00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:12,400 Speaker 2: pretending that they care all of a sudden, You've got 211 00:11:13,040 --> 00:11:15,800 Speaker 2: sixty eight percent of the country I think, yeah, sixty 212 00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:19,840 Speaker 2: eight percent disapprove of Joe Biden on the border. Sixty 213 00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:21,800 Speaker 2: three percent they say they want it to be tougher. 214 00:11:21,840 --> 00:11:26,040 Speaker 2: That's of all adult surveyed. Okay. If you're losing almost 215 00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:28,560 Speaker 2: seventy percent on an issue going into an election year 216 00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:31,160 Speaker 2: and it's one of the primary issues in all the polling, 217 00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:32,400 Speaker 2: you're in big trouble. 218 00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:36,520 Speaker 5: I also want people to understand be smart about what 219 00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:39,960 Speaker 5: they are trying to set up here. If you refuse, 220 00:11:40,960 --> 00:11:43,640 Speaker 5: they're going to try to blame Republicans for what's going 221 00:11:43,720 --> 00:11:46,480 Speaker 5: on at the border. They're already trying it. Understand what 222 00:11:46,559 --> 00:11:50,040 Speaker 5: you are being set up for here. If you won't 223 00:11:50,080 --> 00:11:53,880 Speaker 5: support Ukraine and the border connected, they're going to put 224 00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:56,160 Speaker 5: Ukraine off to the side. And Joe Biden is going 225 00:11:56,160 --> 00:11:58,280 Speaker 5: to go out and he's going to start making message 226 00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:01,640 Speaker 5: aggressive speeches because the numbers are so bad. Buck, He's 227 00:12:01,640 --> 00:12:04,480 Speaker 5: going to go out and say Republicans won't clean up 228 00:12:04,520 --> 00:12:06,480 Speaker 5: the border, and he's going to try to get that 229 00:12:06,600 --> 00:12:08,080 Speaker 5: confused for voters out there. 230 00:12:08,120 --> 00:12:11,040 Speaker 2: He will try. This is one where I am very 231 00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:14,520 Speaker 2: confident he will fail. Enough because of New York and 232 00:12:14,559 --> 00:12:17,280 Speaker 2: what's happening on the streets there because of Chicago, because 233 00:12:17,280 --> 00:12:21,319 Speaker 2: of these cities and the migrants, and the clogged emergency 234 00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:24,839 Speaker 2: rooms and the school rooms that are overflowing and kids 235 00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:27,680 Speaker 2: can't get an education, and all the resources, and the 236 00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:30,440 Speaker 2: end of trash pick up forty percent reduction of trash 237 00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:33,800 Speaker 2: pickup in New York City. Clay people see this in 238 00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:37,560 Speaker 2: a way that they haven't before. So you're completely correct 239 00:12:37,600 --> 00:12:40,440 Speaker 2: in my estimation. Biden's going to try that, but it 240 00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:43,600 Speaker 2: won't work. The only way it works is if some 241 00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:47,720 Speaker 2: of the worst Republicans in the United States Congress managed 242 00:12:47,760 --> 00:12:51,000 Speaker 2: to get their way and pass some kind of immigration 243 00:12:51,679 --> 00:12:55,199 Speaker 2: bipartisan bill that then gives the Democrats cover to say, 244 00:12:55,400 --> 00:12:58,679 Speaker 2: we understand it's a problem. Biden signed it, we are 245 00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:03,000 Speaker 2: working on it. Yeah, that's that's lunacy to do that. 246 00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:06,480 Speaker 2: That is lunacy. So you know, I'm I am fired 247 00:13:06,559 --> 00:13:08,200 Speaker 2: up about this one because if you look at the 248 00:13:08,280 --> 00:13:10,360 Speaker 2: names here. I actually actually wrote down some of the 249 00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:13,520 Speaker 2: names of who's who's involved in this one. I mean, 250 00:13:13,559 --> 00:13:19,240 Speaker 2: you're looking at McConnell, Graham, Tillis Langford that those are 251 00:13:19,280 --> 00:13:20,000 Speaker 2: the Republicans in. 252 00:13:19,960 --> 00:13:22,640 Speaker 5: The Senate and get I get why people are frustrated. 253 00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:24,720 Speaker 5: They're an awful lot of people that it doesn't matter 254 00:13:24,760 --> 00:13:28,880 Speaker 5: what political party they represent, They're just going to go 255 00:13:28,920 --> 00:13:29,839 Speaker 5: along to get along. 256 00:13:30,360 --> 00:13:33,840 Speaker 2: If this is it's the Rhino Penn that is supporting this, truly, 257 00:13:34,080 --> 00:13:37,600 Speaker 2: truly rhinoceros horns all over the place, Rhino Penn. They 258 00:13:37,679 --> 00:13:41,199 Speaker 2: are trying to push this through. It is a disaster. 259 00:13:41,640 --> 00:13:43,800 Speaker 2: Do not let them get away with this. Every time 260 00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:45,800 Speaker 2: they tell you something is not amnesty, whether it's a 261 00:13:45,840 --> 00:13:48,400 Speaker 2: Democrat or a Republican, it's an amnesty. If they have 262 00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:51,920 Speaker 2: to say it's not an amnesty, it's an amnesty, all right. 263 00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:54,079 Speaker 2: Look for all the bad news out there to contend with, 264 00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:56,560 Speaker 2: here's some good news. The lies of fifty eight thousand 265 00:13:56,760 --> 00:13:59,640 Speaker 2: unborn babies were saved in twenty twenty three by the 266 00:13:59,679 --> 00:14:02,320 Speaker 2: general generosity of this audience and the efforts of the 267 00:14:02,360 --> 00:14:05,640 Speaker 2: team working at Preborn's network of clinics. Every day, these 268 00:14:05,640 --> 00:14:08,600 Speaker 2: clinics open their doors to welcome pregnant mothers like Charlotte, 269 00:14:08,760 --> 00:14:11,360 Speaker 2: who learned she was pregnant when she was seven weeks long. 270 00:14:11,880 --> 00:14:14,680 Speaker 2: Charlotte thought abortion might be her best option, but before 271 00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:17,960 Speaker 2: taking that action, which can never be undone, she visited 272 00:14:17,960 --> 00:14:20,840 Speaker 2: the Preborn Clinic in her community. There, she met her 273 00:14:20,920 --> 00:14:23,920 Speaker 2: child via an ultrasound and heard her baby's heartbeat. It 274 00:14:23,960 --> 00:14:27,720 Speaker 2: was a game changing moment and she decided to choose life. 275 00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:31,600 Speaker 2: Preborn operates on donations from you and me, the pro 276 00:14:31,680 --> 00:14:34,840 Speaker 2: life community. They do not receive a dime from the government. 277 00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:37,440 Speaker 2: So if you have the means, would you please consider 278 00:14:37,840 --> 00:14:42,160 Speaker 2: a leadership gift to save many babies. Your tax deductible 279 00:14:42,200 --> 00:14:46,800 Speaker 2: donation of five thousand dollars would sponsor Preborn's entire network 280 00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:49,800 Speaker 2: for a twenty four hour period. Think about that. As 281 00:14:49,840 --> 00:14:53,520 Speaker 2: a tax deductible donation five thousand dollars, you would be 282 00:14:53,520 --> 00:14:56,240 Speaker 2: able to save likely based on the numbers and the 283 00:14:56,280 --> 00:14:59,480 Speaker 2: choices that are made here two hundred tiny babies lives. 284 00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:02,960 Speaker 2: Donate on your cell phone dial pound two fifty and 285 00:15:03,040 --> 00:15:06,920 Speaker 2: say the keyword baby.

So yesterday, last day or two, there was 295 00:15:38,560 --> 00:15:39,520 Speaker 5: supposed to be a merger. 296 00:15:39,560 --> 00:15:41,320 Speaker 2: I was just talking about this with buck Off Air. 297 00:15:41,360 --> 00:15:44,480 Speaker 5: It's just another thing that the Biden administration, it appears, 298 00:15:44,520 --> 00:15:47,000 Speaker 5: has totally gotten it wrong when it comes to business. 299 00:15:47,560 --> 00:15:52,640 Speaker 5: So Jet Blue was buying Spirit Airlines. I have flown Spirit. 300 00:15:52,720 --> 00:15:54,560 Speaker 5: There's probably some of you out there. What did you 301 00:15:54,640 --> 00:15:58,240 Speaker 5: describe as the Spirit Airlines? No, No, I love Spirit Airlines. 302 00:15:58,480 --> 00:16:02,320 Speaker 5: I've flown it and it was very effective and very economical. 303 00:16:02,680 --> 00:16:06,760 Speaker 5: All right, So Spirit Airlines, which is I'm a Southwest 304 00:16:06,800 --> 00:16:09,400 Speaker 5: Airlines guy, so I'm not trying to be a snob here, 305 00:16:09,440 --> 00:16:11,520 Speaker 5: but Spirit Airlines is. 306 00:16:11,600 --> 00:16:12,840 Speaker 2: Low cost carrier. 307 00:16:13,320 --> 00:16:16,360 Speaker 5: Jet Blue was initially founded by some of the old 308 00:16:16,400 --> 00:16:21,480 Speaker 5: Southwest people, and so Jet Blue was buying Spirit Airlines. 309 00:16:21,720 --> 00:16:22,680 Speaker 2: They were going to merge. 310 00:16:22,760 --> 00:16:24,440 Speaker 5: They were going to become I think the fifth or 311 00:16:24,560 --> 00:16:28,320 Speaker 5: sixth the largest airline. The Biden administration said, no, this 312 00:16:28,440 --> 00:16:30,960 Speaker 5: is not allowed. This will be an anti trust violation. 313 00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:36,800 Speaker 5: So one judge listened to this case, the Biden administration argued, 314 00:16:36,840 --> 00:16:40,560 Speaker 5: it's anti trust. They said, the judge came out and said, 315 00:16:40,600 --> 00:16:42,920 Speaker 5: you know what, Biden administration, you're right, this is an 316 00:16:42,920 --> 00:16:46,920 Speaker 5: anti trust violation. Won't be good for consumers. This merger 317 00:16:46,960 --> 00:16:51,120 Speaker 5: is not allowed to happen. And now Spirit Airlines is 318 00:16:51,160 --> 00:16:54,760 Speaker 5: in danger of going bankrupt. The stock has dropped in half, 319 00:16:55,280 --> 00:16:59,720 Speaker 5: and the company may cease to exist. So I mean, 320 00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:02,640 Speaker 5: and this just goes to people not understanding basic business, 321 00:17:02,680 --> 00:17:04,399 Speaker 5: not only the judge, but the fact that the Biden 322 00:17:04,440 --> 00:17:08,880 Speaker 5: administration argued this, How in the world does the average 323 00:17:08,920 --> 00:17:14,440 Speaker 5: American traveler benefit by an airline going bankrupt as opposed 324 00:17:14,440 --> 00:17:17,240 Speaker 5: to being purchased and becoming part of a larger network 325 00:17:17,280 --> 00:17:20,320 Speaker 5: with Jet Blue, which is a lower cost carrier in 326 00:17:20,359 --> 00:17:23,440 Speaker 5: the first place. This is so bad by the Biden 327 00:17:23,440 --> 00:17:24,920 Speaker 5: administration and this judge. 328 00:17:25,359 --> 00:17:29,800 Speaker 2: They have not returned to the staffing levels pre pandemic 329 00:17:30,080 --> 00:17:32,520 Speaker 2: in a lot of these airlines, including with ground crews 330 00:17:32,560 --> 00:17:35,240 Speaker 2: and air traffic control. And that's one of the reasons 331 00:17:35,280 --> 00:17:37,920 Speaker 2: why now you just have man made delays all the time. 332 00:17:37,960 --> 00:17:40,840 Speaker 2: Everybody weather is weather, I get it, but you actually 333 00:17:40,920 --> 00:17:43,359 Speaker 2: just have Oh, we don't have the pilots or we 334 00:17:43,400 --> 00:17:45,440 Speaker 2: don't crew, or we don't have the ground crewer we 335 00:17:45,480 --> 00:17:48,399 Speaker 2: don't have the and it just keeps getting worse because 336 00:17:48,480 --> 00:17:50,800 Speaker 2: it's one of the most highly regulated industries in the world, 337 00:17:50,800 --> 00:17:53,840 Speaker 2: and the government makes everything worse. I just think about 338 00:17:53,840 --> 00:17:54,240 Speaker 2: that boock. 339 00:17:54,320 --> 00:17:56,399 Speaker 5: They went from, hey, we're going to merge, We're going 340 00:17:56,480 --> 00:17:59,199 Speaker 5: to get three billion dollars in assets for this company 341 00:17:59,200 --> 00:18:03,359 Speaker 5: and create a better business model for flying consumers, and 342 00:18:03,400 --> 00:18:05,679 Speaker 5: now the company may go bankrupt because of the idiot 343 00:18:05,680 --> 00:18:08,640 Speaker 5: Biden administration and this idiot judge. Look, do you want 344 00:18:08,640 --> 00:18:10,080 Speaker 5: to save a lot of money. I know all of 345 00:18:10,080 --> 00:18:13,240 Speaker 5: you are making decisions, making New Year's resolutions as we 346 00:18:13,359 --> 00:18:16,280 Speaker 5: begin twenty twenty four. How can you and your family 347 00:18:16,280 --> 00:18:18,360 Speaker 5: save money. You can do partly what my family did. 348 00:18:18,400 --> 00:18:21,840 Speaker 5: Trust pure Talk with your wireless service. Puretalk will hook 349 00:18:21,880 --> 00:18:24,640 Speaker 5: you up in a really big way, like they take 350 00:18:24,640 --> 00:18:26,880 Speaker 5: care of my fifteen year old son. We're still out 351 00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:30,040 Speaker 5: of school all week here. I know a lot of 352 00:18:30,040 --> 00:18:32,160 Speaker 5: you also in the South are in a similar boat. 353 00:18:32,240 --> 00:18:34,680 Speaker 5: Kids have been out of school all week. Sometimes it 354 00:18:34,680 --> 00:18:36,400 Speaker 5: gonna be hard to keep track of them. They're running 355 00:18:36,440 --> 00:18:38,879 Speaker 5: around playing in the snow, which doesn't happen here very often. 356 00:18:38,920 --> 00:18:41,760 Speaker 5: I trust pure talk to keep in touch with my family, 357 00:18:42,040 --> 00:18:44,320 Speaker 5: with my own fifteen year old son. They can hook 358 00:18:44,400 --> 00:18:47,000 Speaker 5: you up as well. You can save one thousand dollars 359 00:18:47,080 --> 00:18:49,840 Speaker 5: in a year. Here's how you switch dial pound two 360 00:18:49,840 --> 00:18:52,680 Speaker 5: point fifty and say Clay and Buck. That is pound 361 00:18:52,880 --> 00:18:57,560 Speaker 5: two five zero. Say Clay and Buck puretalk pound two 362 00:18:57,600 --> 00:19:00,560 Speaker 5: five zero. Right, So we had Ted CRU's weighing in 363 00:19:00,560 --> 00:19:03,480 Speaker 5: on the border issue, saying that Joe Biden is so 364 00:19:03,640 --> 00:19:08,040 Speaker 5: bad on this issue that he made him miss Barack Obama. 365 00:19:08,080 --> 00:19:09,080 Speaker 2: That's cutting nine playing. 366 00:19:09,320 --> 00:19:12,320 Speaker 4: Joe Biden did something I never thought would be possible. 367 00:19:12,440 --> 00:19:16,199 Speaker 4: He made me miss Barack Obama. Look, Barack Obama I 368 00:19:16,320 --> 00:19:18,520 Speaker 4: disagreed with on a ton of issues. I think he 369 00:19:18,560 --> 00:19:20,840 Speaker 4: was a bad president. But you know what, on immigration, 370 00:19:21,240 --> 00:19:25,320 Speaker 4: Obama by and large followed the law. Barack Obama deported 371 00:19:25,600 --> 00:19:28,240 Speaker 4: millions of people. In fact, the left got mad. I 372 00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:31,080 Speaker 4: remember that they used to call Obama the deporter in chief. 373 00:19:31,760 --> 00:19:34,040 Speaker 4: What Biden is doing no president in the history of 374 00:19:34,080 --> 00:19:36,800 Speaker 4: our country has ever done. He's just utterly defying the law. 375 00:19:36,920 --> 00:19:39,399 Speaker 4: He is essentially saying, I don't care what the law says, 376 00:19:39,560 --> 00:19:42,400 Speaker 4: I'm going to let everyone go. Joe Biden and Kamala 377 00:19:42,440 --> 00:19:46,040 Speaker 4: Harris are the last mile of the human trafficking network, 378 00:19:46,200 --> 00:19:50,879 Speaker 4: and they're sending illegal immigrants to every city in America. 379 00:19:51,040 --> 00:19:54,840 Speaker 2: Okay, let's dive into some of this. First off, I 380 00:19:55,320 --> 00:19:59,800 Speaker 2: gotta say I think that one thing that Senator Cruz 381 00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:02,359 Speaker 2: might be leading out of this analysis is that they 382 00:20:02,359 --> 00:20:06,280 Speaker 2: were calling Obama the deporter in chief leading into twenty 383 00:20:06,320 --> 00:20:09,159 Speaker 2: twelve when he was trying to get re elected. And 384 00:20:09,240 --> 00:20:11,200 Speaker 2: I have been saying on this show, I want everyone 385 00:20:11,200 --> 00:20:15,920 Speaker 2: to be remembered or be reminded rather of this. Biden 386 00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:17,800 Speaker 2: is going to start to tack to the center on 387 00:20:17,840 --> 00:20:20,680 Speaker 2: immigration because he has to on a legal immigration because 388 00:20:20,680 --> 00:20:23,080 Speaker 2: he knows that it's a losing issue for Democrats, a 389 00:20:23,200 --> 00:20:28,120 Speaker 2: major weakness in important swing states particularly. It's exactly what 390 00:20:28,160 --> 00:20:31,600 Speaker 2: Barack Obama did, and as soon as Obama secured reelection, 391 00:20:32,359 --> 00:20:36,920 Speaker 2: it was a full on push for mass amnesty. That 392 00:20:36,960 --> 00:20:41,480 Speaker 2: was the so called Comprehensive Immigration Reform Bill, which really 393 00:20:41,560 --> 00:20:44,600 Speaker 2: hurt the future careers of a number of Republican members 394 00:20:44,600 --> 00:20:46,560 Speaker 2: of the Senate because they were trying remember this, it 395 00:20:46,600 --> 00:20:48,840 Speaker 2: was the Gang of Eight, right, the Gang of Eight Bill, 396 00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:53,000 Speaker 2: and when people looked at it, it was amnesty and 397 00:20:53,040 --> 00:20:54,640 Speaker 2: then a whole bunch of things that were never going 398 00:20:54,640 --> 00:20:56,800 Speaker 2: to be enforced, and provisions that were going to be loose, 399 00:20:56,800 --> 00:20:58,800 Speaker 2: and there were going to be lawsuits and everything else. 400 00:20:58,920 --> 00:21:02,840 Speaker 2: The only thing that was guaranteed was amnesty. So I think, Clive, 401 00:21:02,880 --> 00:21:06,680 Speaker 2: what we're seeing here is the repeat. In many ways, 402 00:21:06,840 --> 00:21:09,200 Speaker 2: we've talked about how this is the third term of Obama, 403 00:21:09,320 --> 00:21:11,720 Speaker 2: and you know, in terms of the advisors and the 404 00:21:11,760 --> 00:21:15,040 Speaker 2: people that are making important decisions, it's also following the 405 00:21:15,040 --> 00:21:18,960 Speaker 2: same playbook, which is now it's been three years. Now, 406 00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:21,680 Speaker 2: it's a board. Now it's time for a comprehensive border bill. 407 00:21:21,760 --> 00:21:25,399 Speaker 2: Let's bipartisan. Now that they've let seven million people or 408 00:21:25,400 --> 00:21:29,040 Speaker 2: six point eight million people into the country illegally intentionally, 409 00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:32,919 Speaker 2: I mean, at some point if Republicans get bullied or 410 00:21:32,920 --> 00:21:36,080 Speaker 2: fooled into this again, you know, we deserve the dissolution 411 00:21:36,280 --> 00:21:38,960 Speaker 2: of the country that is underway because we don't actually 412 00:21:38,960 --> 00:21:39,640 Speaker 2: have a border. 413 00:21:40,080 --> 00:21:43,159 Speaker 5: Did you see Dave Rubens tweet this morning he was 414 00:21:43,240 --> 00:21:46,280 Speaker 5: flying and he took a picture, and I've seen other 415 00:21:46,359 --> 00:21:50,280 Speaker 5: people talking about this. I took a picture that basically, 416 00:21:50,320 --> 00:21:53,479 Speaker 5: if you're a migrant, you can and you know, an 417 00:21:53,480 --> 00:21:56,160 Speaker 5: illegal immigrant, however, you want to classify it. You can 418 00:21:56,160 --> 00:21:57,600 Speaker 5: get on an airplane no matter what. 419 00:21:58,680 --> 00:22:02,440 Speaker 2: Did you look at this? Uh yeah I saw the photo. Sure, 420 00:22:02,480 --> 00:22:03,600 Speaker 2: yeah yeah, yeah. 421 00:22:03,600 --> 00:22:06,679 Speaker 5: For people out there who didn't see it, you know 422 00:22:06,800 --> 00:22:10,560 Speaker 5: how hard it is to go through security at a 423 00:22:10,680 --> 00:22:14,000 Speaker 5: United States airport. Now we can argue, and I think 424 00:22:14,800 --> 00:22:19,359 Speaker 5: sadly a lot of the TSA work there is prop 425 00:22:19,600 --> 00:22:23,359 Speaker 5: and it's not actually doing that much good in terms 426 00:22:23,359 --> 00:22:24,600 Speaker 5: of making us all safer. 427 00:22:24,680 --> 00:22:26,000 Speaker 2: That's my personal belief. 428 00:22:26,040 --> 00:22:29,120 Speaker 5: I never go through a TSA checkpoint and think, oh, 429 00:22:29,280 --> 00:22:35,040 Speaker 5: these are the highest skilled security personnel on the planet. Right, 430 00:22:35,280 --> 00:22:38,280 Speaker 5: most of the time, they seem barely awake, don't seem 431 00:22:38,320 --> 00:22:42,680 Speaker 5: particularly engaged or that excited about their jobs. My general 432 00:22:42,720 --> 00:22:45,080 Speaker 5: take on the TSA. Some of you may disagree. Some 433 00:22:45,119 --> 00:22:47,200 Speaker 5: of you may work in the TSA and disagree with me, 434 00:22:47,800 --> 00:22:51,240 Speaker 5: But the point is there are all these different regimented 435 00:22:51,359 --> 00:22:55,159 Speaker 5: requirements that you have to have security wise to be 436 00:22:55,200 --> 00:22:58,240 Speaker 5: able to go through an airport checkpoint. We now are 437 00:22:58,320 --> 00:23:01,280 Speaker 5: letting people just have a photos taken of them and 438 00:23:01,320 --> 00:23:03,959 Speaker 5: they can get on an airplane all over the country, 439 00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:07,840 Speaker 5: even if they aren't citizens and they don't have any 440 00:23:07,960 --> 00:23:12,760 Speaker 5: papers at all. Again, I just look at this and 441 00:23:13,520 --> 00:23:18,400 Speaker 5: I come back buck to remember when you couldn't come 442 00:23:18,440 --> 00:23:21,800 Speaker 5: into this country unless you had gotten the COVID shot, 443 00:23:22,760 --> 00:23:25,240 Speaker 5: if you were from Europe, if you were from Asia, 444 00:23:25,560 --> 00:23:29,719 Speaker 5: they wouldn't allow Novak Djokovic into play at the except 445 00:23:29,720 --> 00:23:30,040 Speaker 5: for all. 446 00:23:29,960 --> 00:23:31,560 Speaker 2: The millions of illegals who were coming in. It was 447 00:23:31,600 --> 00:23:34,120 Speaker 2: also true in New York that you your kids, if 448 00:23:34,119 --> 00:23:36,159 Speaker 2: you were an illegal, did not have to have the 449 00:23:36,200 --> 00:23:38,320 Speaker 2: COVID vaccine to go to New York City public troubles. 450 00:23:38,320 --> 00:23:41,280 Speaker 2: But if you were a New Yorker, an American kids 451 00:23:41,359 --> 00:23:43,200 Speaker 2: not allowed to go to school without the vaccine. 452 00:23:43,480 --> 00:23:47,480 Speaker 5: So when you are allowing people to just walk across 453 00:23:47,520 --> 00:23:50,359 Speaker 5: our southern border and you don't, you're not concerned about 454 00:23:50,400 --> 00:23:53,919 Speaker 5: the health. There's no COVID shot mandate, there's no obligations 455 00:23:53,920 --> 00:23:58,000 Speaker 5: with any of this. The intent to create the destruction 456 00:23:58,680 --> 00:24:02,000 Speaker 5: was there decentive structure, which I come back to. Do 457 00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:05,159 Speaker 5: you remember when Fox News interviewed the guy right after 458 00:24:05,200 --> 00:24:08,199 Speaker 5: the turn of the year, when Biden had been sworn 459 00:24:08,240 --> 00:24:11,040 Speaker 5: in and he actually had a Biden shirt on, that 460 00:24:11,240 --> 00:24:14,560 Speaker 5: was like, what have you ever seen anybody in in 461 00:24:14,800 --> 00:24:20,360 Speaker 5: merch for Joe Biden? Even flags, even you know, yard signs, 462 00:24:20,760 --> 00:24:25,320 Speaker 5: no one has them. This immigrant had them had an 463 00:24:25,359 --> 00:24:28,280 Speaker 5: Biden shirt on, and he said, because Joe Biden wants 464 00:24:28,320 --> 00:24:29,240 Speaker 5: us all to come here. 465 00:24:29,760 --> 00:24:30,640 Speaker 2: That is the message. 466 00:24:30,680 --> 00:24:35,360 Speaker 5: And it's also incredibly important to discuss how much different 467 00:24:35,480 --> 00:24:39,800 Speaker 5: the border has become, not only because the cartel makes 468 00:24:39,920 --> 00:24:44,040 Speaker 5: more money off of illegal entry to the United States 469 00:24:44,240 --> 00:24:48,560 Speaker 5: than any American pro sports league. That is a staggering 470 00:24:48,600 --> 00:24:53,120 Speaker 5: stat The cartel makes more money bringing people illegally into 471 00:24:53,160 --> 00:24:57,200 Speaker 5: the United States than the NFL makes in profit every 472 00:24:57,240 --> 00:25:00,000 Speaker 5: year in rep I mean, that is just crazy to 473 00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:04,200 Speaker 5: think about. But Buck, it's not even the issue on 474 00:25:04,280 --> 00:25:07,199 Speaker 5: the border that we used to have, which is a 475 00:25:07,240 --> 00:25:10,440 Speaker 5: lot of people from Mexico come across back and forth, 476 00:25:10,480 --> 00:25:12,480 Speaker 5: they take jobs, they tend to go back home. They're 477 00:25:12,480 --> 00:25:16,040 Speaker 5: going back and forth. Now it's people all over the 478 00:25:16,160 --> 00:25:19,760 Speaker 5: world have recognized how wide open our southern border is. 479 00:25:20,080 --> 00:25:23,960 Speaker 5: It's easier to get into the United States from Africa 480 00:25:24,440 --> 00:25:27,520 Speaker 5: than it is to get into Europe from Africa. 481 00:25:27,680 --> 00:25:32,720 Speaker 2: Just geographically. That's absolutely bonkers, and I think everyone has 482 00:25:33,320 --> 00:25:35,959 Speaker 2: to keep in mind that this is by design, and 483 00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:38,800 Speaker 2: that's why it is so dishonest. When Chuck Schumer is talking, 484 00:25:38,880 --> 00:25:40,840 Speaker 2: first of all, were talking about Ukraine. He's like, you know, 485 00:25:40,920 --> 00:25:44,679 Speaker 2: if we don't have funding for Ukraine, we're gonna rue 486 00:25:44,680 --> 00:25:46,520 Speaker 2: the day on the whole world that I said here, 487 00:25:46,560 --> 00:25:51,400 Speaker 2: I'm like, if Russia's having trouble with Ukraine militarily, we're 488 00:25:51,400 --> 00:25:53,480 Speaker 2: really supposed to believe that Russia is then just gonna 489 00:25:53,480 --> 00:25:57,399 Speaker 2: start rolling over NATO countries too. They're going to trigger 490 00:25:57,480 --> 00:25:59,359 Speaker 2: Article five and Nato'll be like, yeah, no big deal, 491 00:25:59,600 --> 00:26:02,959 Speaker 2: it's in It's insane. But this is what they keep saying. 492 00:26:04,280 --> 00:26:06,639 Speaker 2: But beyond that, on the back of the border issue, 493 00:26:06,640 --> 00:26:10,439 Speaker 2: you sit here and it's as though Democrats expect us 494 00:26:10,440 --> 00:26:12,280 Speaker 2: all to forget what their positions have been on this 495 00:26:12,359 --> 00:26:15,560 Speaker 2: all along, which is going along with the lie that 496 00:26:15,600 --> 00:26:19,439 Speaker 2: these are asylum seekers. They are not asylum seekers. They 497 00:26:19,480 --> 00:26:23,720 Speaker 2: are frauds. They are overwhelmingly lying. Ninety percent of them 498 00:26:23,760 --> 00:26:28,000 Speaker 2: have no legitimate claim for asylum whatsoever. They are skipping 499 00:26:28,080 --> 00:26:32,400 Speaker 2: the immigration line. Everybody knows it. It's a scam. It's 500 00:26:32,480 --> 00:26:35,280 Speaker 2: like if everyone decided to stop paying their taxes all 501 00:26:35,320 --> 00:26:37,040 Speaker 2: of a sudden, the government would have a really big 502 00:26:37,080 --> 00:26:38,920 Speaker 2: problem with that. They'd say, the law is the law. 503 00:26:39,400 --> 00:26:41,920 Speaker 2: They've decided to stop enforcing immigration law, and we're just 504 00:26:41,920 --> 00:26:47,359 Speaker 2: supposed to accept it. This is why the fact that 505 00:26:47,359 --> 00:26:50,879 Speaker 2: Republicans are the worst Republicans in the Senate that should 506 00:26:50,880 --> 00:26:52,359 Speaker 2: tell you a lot. Are the ones that are pushing 507 00:26:52,359 --> 00:26:55,160 Speaker 2: this the hardest. And the Republicans who are worried about 508 00:26:55,200 --> 00:26:57,480 Speaker 2: their jobs in the House because they're in close districts 509 00:26:57,560 --> 00:26:59,879 Speaker 2: or you know, even Biden districts, they're the ones who 510 00:26:59,920 --> 00:27:02,560 Speaker 2: are pushing this. It is entirely selfish. It is not 511 00:27:02,640 --> 00:27:05,040 Speaker 2: in the best interests of the country. And look, I'm 512 00:27:05,040 --> 00:27:07,200 Speaker 2: just gonna say it. If Trump doesn't win the election 513 00:27:07,280 --> 00:27:09,800 Speaker 2: and do the massive deportations that he's promising to do, 514 00:27:10,040 --> 00:27:13,119 Speaker 2: which some people listening to this probably think, oh, it's 515 00:27:13,200 --> 00:27:15,879 Speaker 2: just Trump saying Trump's stuff, right, Maybe I don't know. 516 00:27:16,119 --> 00:27:18,520 Speaker 2: If Trump doesn't do that, folks, it's all over. He 517 00:27:18,600 --> 00:27:20,439 Speaker 2: might as well have an open border because the country 518 00:27:20,440 --> 00:27:24,120 Speaker 2: will be transformed forever and the lawlessness will overwhelm whatever 519 00:27:24,160 --> 00:27:25,720 Speaker 2: immigration system we think we have. 520 00:27:26,400 --> 00:27:29,760 Speaker 5: Yeah, my concern is that the courts will immediately bog 521 00:27:29,880 --> 00:27:32,840 Speaker 5: down Trump when he tries to deport. Now, we've had 522 00:27:32,880 --> 00:27:37,040 Speaker 5: Stephen Miller on this program, and he is incredibly detailed 523 00:27:37,240 --> 00:27:43,400 Speaker 5: and smart, excuse me, and sophisticated about everything that needs 524 00:27:43,400 --> 00:27:45,359 Speaker 5: to be done at the border. I hope he is 525 00:27:45,400 --> 00:27:48,640 Speaker 5: put in charge in the event Trump wins and they 526 00:27:48,680 --> 00:27:50,480 Speaker 5: just let him go full on. 527 00:27:51,080 --> 00:27:53,000 Speaker 2: In terms of trying to clean up the border. 528 00:27:53,960 --> 00:27:58,480 Speaker 5: But the problem is once you get over eight million 529 00:27:58,520 --> 00:28:01,320 Speaker 5: people here, which there will be by the time somebody 530 00:28:01,359 --> 00:28:04,440 Speaker 5: takes the oath of office in January of twenty twenty five, 531 00:28:05,359 --> 00:28:08,080 Speaker 5: just since Joe Biden became president, not to count the 532 00:28:08,400 --> 00:28:11,639 Speaker 5: ten million or so other, whatever the mass number is, 533 00:28:12,440 --> 00:28:15,400 Speaker 5: how in the world do you go about moving that 534 00:28:15,560 --> 00:28:21,680 Speaker 5: segment of people out of a location. The sheer logistics 535 00:28:22,080 --> 00:28:25,760 Speaker 5: of trying to get fifteen million, ten million, whatever the 536 00:28:25,840 --> 00:28:30,720 Speaker 5: number is people deported is staggering to think about, not 537 00:28:30,800 --> 00:28:32,480 Speaker 5: to mention all the obstacles that are going to be 538 00:28:32,480 --> 00:28:34,800 Speaker 5: put in place, which is why I think the long 539 00:28:34,920 --> 00:28:38,840 Speaker 5: range plan is get them all here. There isn't any solution, 540 00:28:39,240 --> 00:28:41,560 Speaker 5: And then they slowly start working on the idea of 541 00:28:41,600 --> 00:28:43,920 Speaker 5: we have to give a mamnesty and make them citizens. 542 00:28:43,520 --> 00:28:46,560 Speaker 2: And that never stops because we have a massive welfare state, 543 00:28:46,640 --> 00:28:49,400 Speaker 2: and we have a country that has decided that there 544 00:28:49,440 --> 00:28:54,000 Speaker 2: should be a shame on traditional America and the rest 545 00:28:54,040 --> 00:28:58,000 Speaker 2: of the world is owed your labor, your money Americans. 546 00:28:58,480 --> 00:29:01,000 Speaker 2: That's the way that the Democrat Party views things. It's 547 00:29:01,080 --> 00:29:04,920 Speaker 2: like a giant global Marxist redistribution of wealth program tied 548 00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:06,240 Speaker 2: in with DEI. 549 00:29:06,560 --> 00:29:09,160 Speaker 5: Remember, we're only four percent of the United State of 550 00:29:09,200 --> 00:29:13,160 Speaker 5: the world population. We're all incredibly fortunate to be United 551 00:29:13,200 --> 00:29:16,120 Speaker 5: States citizens, but we only represent I believe the math 552 00:29:16,240 --> 00:29:19,480 Speaker 5: is four percent of the global population. At some point 553 00:29:19,520 --> 00:29:23,760 Speaker 5: we get full and certainly I think we're well past 554 00:29:23,800 --> 00:29:26,280 Speaker 5: that right now.

Let me take a couple of 599 00:31:45,120 --> 00:31:46,560 Speaker 5: your calls. A lot of you want to react to 600 00:31:46,560 --> 00:31:49,920 Speaker 5: a variety of stories. We'll dive into New Hampshire as 601 00:31:49,960 --> 00:31:52,440 Speaker 5: we sit here, what is it five days out from 602 00:31:52,680 --> 00:31:56,920 Speaker 5: the New Hampshire primary? With Ron DeSantis now in South 603 00:31:56,960 --> 00:32:01,040 Speaker 5: Carolina with Nicky Haley questions about how much viability she 604 00:32:01,160 --> 00:32:01,640 Speaker 5: has there. 605 00:32:01,680 --> 00:32:05,040 Speaker 2: We will discuss that in a moment, but first Jim 606 00:32:05,120 --> 00:32:05,720 Speaker 2: and Tampa. 607 00:32:05,840 --> 00:32:08,280 Speaker 5: I was talking because I don't think this story has 608 00:32:08,360 --> 00:32:10,560 Speaker 5: gotten the attention that it should have. 609 00:32:11,480 --> 00:32:14,040 Speaker 2: To reiterate, Biden administration. 610 00:32:13,520 --> 00:32:19,040 Speaker 5: Says if Jet Blue by Spirit that average consumers are 611 00:32:19,080 --> 00:32:19,960 Speaker 5: going to suffer. 612 00:32:20,600 --> 00:32:22,480 Speaker 2: The judge agrees. 613 00:32:22,960 --> 00:32:26,800 Speaker 5: Stock price tanks now Spirit is talking about potentially going 614 00:32:26,840 --> 00:32:30,120 Speaker 5: into bankruptcy which would obviously not aid in a bet 615 00:32:30,160 --> 00:32:34,040 Speaker 5: the average flyer out there. Jim, you're a Jet Blue employee, 616 00:32:34,040 --> 00:32:37,040 Speaker 5: had you been following this, this seems crazy that this 617 00:32:37,120 --> 00:32:41,160 Speaker 5: is the failure of antitrust law when if a merger 618 00:32:41,200 --> 00:32:44,240 Speaker 5: doesn't happen, a company goes bankrupt, the consumers not benefiting. 619 00:32:45,480 --> 00:32:49,440 Speaker 7: Correct, and that What I don't understand is I've been 620 00:32:49,480 --> 00:32:52,920 Speaker 7: in the airline industry for forty one years winding down 621 00:32:52,960 --> 00:32:58,080 Speaker 7: my career. But back when I started PFA in California 622 00:32:58,160 --> 00:33:00,200 Speaker 7: is where I started us there, bought them out and 623 00:33:00,240 --> 00:33:02,600 Speaker 7: there was no problem. They also bought out Piedma on 624 00:33:02,640 --> 00:33:05,160 Speaker 7: the East coast and there was no problem. And then 625 00:33:05,280 --> 00:33:09,680 Speaker 7: just a few years later, USA and American get together 626 00:33:09,920 --> 00:33:13,440 Speaker 7: and they combined to be a mega carrier. Where I 627 00:33:13,440 --> 00:33:16,880 Speaker 7: think what really bothers me is, if I'm not mistaken, 628 00:33:16,960 --> 00:33:19,960 Speaker 7: Jeff Blue has maybe five percent of the market share 629 00:33:20,000 --> 00:33:23,720 Speaker 7: that's right of the airline, and Spirit about the same. 630 00:33:23,760 --> 00:33:26,640 Speaker 7: So when they merged together, you would still only be 631 00:33:26,840 --> 00:33:29,280 Speaker 7: maybe what six or eight percent of the market share. 632 00:33:29,520 --> 00:33:34,160 Speaker 5: Yeah, this merger would have made them the fifth biggest airline. 633 00:33:34,480 --> 00:33:36,960 Speaker 5: So and by the way, I think Alaska Airlines and 634 00:33:37,000 --> 00:33:39,840 Speaker 5: Hawaii Airlines are in the process of trying to merge 635 00:33:39,880 --> 00:33:40,720 Speaker 5: right now as well. 636 00:33:40,960 --> 00:33:41,760 Speaker 2: Thank you for the call. 637 00:33:41,920 --> 00:33:47,040 Speaker 5: And over forty years I read this judge decision and 638 00:33:47,200 --> 00:33:48,320 Speaker 5: I thought it was crazy. 639 00:33:48,360 --> 00:33:50,200 Speaker 2: The stock market obviously did as well. 640 00:33:50,600 --> 00:33:52,800 Speaker 5: But if you say a merger can't happen because it's 641 00:33:52,840 --> 00:33:55,280 Speaker 5: anti competitive and then one of the companies that was 642 00:33:55,320 --> 00:33:58,800 Speaker 5: otherwise going to merge goes bankrupt, that doesn't feel to 643 00:33:58,880 --> 00:34:02,880 Speaker 5: me like you understand the basic economic rationale of the 644 00:34:02,920 --> 00:34:06,720 Speaker 5: industry itself. And both the Biden administration, which argued against 645 00:34:06,720 --> 00:34:09,400 Speaker 5: this merger, but also the judge who rubber stamped the 646 00:34:09,440 --> 00:34:13,080 Speaker 5: Biden administration argument, seems like a real failure of basic 647 00:34:13,120 --> 00:34:16,960 Speaker 5: economic understanding. What was the Biden administration argument that the 648 00:34:17,040 --> 00:34:18,799 Speaker 5: judge bought by the Do we know that it just 649 00:34:18,840 --> 00:34:21,000 Speaker 5: makes it too big? Because if it's the fifth biggest, 650 00:34:21,000 --> 00:34:23,120 Speaker 5: how is that too They said that fars were going 651 00:34:23,200 --> 00:34:26,239 Speaker 5: to go up because Spirit was a discount airline, and 652 00:34:26,280 --> 00:34:29,279 Speaker 5: the Jet Blue would raise fairs and all consumers would 653 00:34:29,320 --> 00:34:31,839 Speaker 5: end not being able to benefit this. 654 00:34:31,880 --> 00:34:33,520 Speaker 2: No, but see, I'm so glad you told me that 655 00:34:33,600 --> 00:34:35,560 Speaker 2: Solay Clay brought the story to my attention. Might as 656 00:34:35,560 --> 00:34:37,520 Speaker 2: we're on the air and I've been reading about it, 657 00:34:38,160 --> 00:34:41,319 Speaker 2: you know, as folks are calling in and this goes 658 00:34:41,360 --> 00:34:43,920 Speaker 2: to it is hard, I think for a lot of 659 00:34:44,000 --> 00:34:47,120 Speaker 2: people out there to believe, but it is very much 660 00:34:47,160 --> 00:34:51,200 Speaker 2: the case that there are and it is particularly true 661 00:34:51,360 --> 00:34:53,680 Speaker 2: of Democrats. There are Republicans that I'd say this is 662 00:34:53,719 --> 00:34:55,759 Speaker 2: true of as well, but it's particularly true of the 663 00:34:55,760 --> 00:34:59,040 Speaker 2: Democrat Party. They have no idea how business actually functions. 664 00:34:59,080 --> 00:35:03,080 Speaker 2: Correct that they they go to think tanks and NGOs 665 00:35:03,200 --> 00:35:08,280 Speaker 2: and government agencies and you know, government positions and nonprofits, 666 00:35:08,320 --> 00:35:12,160 Speaker 2: and they have no idea what profit and loss actually means. 667 00:35:13,320 --> 00:35:16,040 Speaker 5: And they don't even understand dam basic competition. I'm not 668 00:35:16,080 --> 00:35:19,320 Speaker 5: opposed to all anti trust law, right Like if Google 669 00:35:19,400 --> 00:35:22,120 Speaker 5: suddenly was going to merge with Apple, I would take 670 00:35:22,120 --> 00:35:23,839 Speaker 5: a step back and I would say, okay, this makes 671 00:35:23,880 --> 00:35:26,319 Speaker 5: me very nervous to think about a company being that big. 672 00:35:26,320 --> 00:35:28,719 Speaker 5: And I'm just tossing those two out for instance, given 673 00:35:28,760 --> 00:35:31,279 Speaker 5: the power that they have in their respective industries. But 674 00:35:31,320 --> 00:35:33,120 Speaker 5: the idea that you're going to be the fifth biggest 675 00:35:33,160 --> 00:35:36,920 Speaker 5: airline and that shouldn't be allowed, and now the company 676 00:35:36,920 --> 00:35:38,759 Speaker 5: may go bankrupt, So who benefits at all? 677 00:35:39,120 --> 00:35:42,399 Speaker 2: And this is the other thing too, Ask anybody which 678 00:35:42,440 --> 00:35:44,920 Speaker 2: airline they hate the most, and they'll say, you know, 679 00:35:45,040 --> 00:35:47,200 Speaker 2: they'll say different ones. You ask some people, they say 680 00:35:47,200 --> 00:35:49,880 Speaker 2: you nied, you have some people say American because they 681 00:35:49,920 --> 00:35:52,120 Speaker 2: all end up with the same problems, in the same 682 00:35:52,719 --> 00:35:56,640 Speaker 2: shortcomings because of all the government red tape and regulations 683 00:35:56,680 --> 00:35:59,520 Speaker 2: and unions and nonsense that go on. Wouldn't it be 684 00:35:59,520 --> 00:36:02,240 Speaker 2: I made like, where is the Elon Musk for airlines? 685 00:36:02,280 --> 00:36:04,520 Speaker 2: I know there was, like Virgin years ago was trying 686 00:36:04,560 --> 00:36:07,200 Speaker 2: to do this right, But yeah, there needs to be 687 00:36:07,239 --> 00:36:10,640 Speaker 2: a disruptor in the airline industry where you know, they 688 00:36:10,719 --> 00:36:12,480 Speaker 2: don't get to hold you in the tarmac for three 689 00:36:12,520 --> 00:36:15,759 Speaker 2: hours because you know they can't find the widget they 690 00:36:15,800 --> 00:36:17,960 Speaker 2: need or something and they don't have staff to fix it. 691 00:36:18,040 --> 00:36:20,719 Speaker 2: But right now we live at their mercy. They do 692 00:36:20,800 --> 00:36:22,680 Speaker 2: not care. You were in the when you were on 693 00:36:22,719 --> 00:36:25,160 Speaker 2: an airplane in the United States, you were in the 694 00:36:25,200 --> 00:36:28,440 Speaker 2: Soviet Union. It does not matter how angry you get. 695 00:36:28,560 --> 00:36:31,520 Speaker 2: There's no one to complain to and there's no accountability, 696 00:36:31,719 --> 00:36:35,319 Speaker 2: and moves like this actually make that worse because airlines 697 00:36:35,400 --> 00:36:39,600 Speaker 2: don't get better. Yeah, I mean, look they may if 698 00:36:39,640 --> 00:36:42,440 Speaker 5: You say it can't a merger can't happen because of antitrust, 699 00:36:42,480 --> 00:36:45,600 Speaker 5: Violet Roy this entire company, because that's essentially what happened 700 00:36:45,600 --> 00:36:46,200 Speaker 5: with his ruling.
