1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,320 Speaker 1: Welcome to today's edition of the Clay Travis and buck 2 00:00:03,360 --> 00:00:07,800 Speaker 1: Sexton Show podcast. Welcome back in Clay Travis buck Sexton Show. 3 00:00:07,920 --> 00:00:11,760 Speaker 1: Rolling through the Tuesday edition of the program. We are 4 00:00:11,840 --> 00:00:15,600 Speaker 1: joined now by Florida Governor Ron De Santis. Appreciade him 5 00:00:15,640 --> 00:00:18,680 Speaker 1: coming on and hanging out with us, and Governor to 6 00:00:18,760 --> 00:00:22,720 Speaker 1: stand us want to dive right into it. We've loved 7 00:00:22,760 --> 00:00:26,320 Speaker 1: on the show that you haven't buckled down over the 8 00:00:26,320 --> 00:00:30,240 Speaker 1: parental rights bill that you signed yesterday. Disney, I'm sure 9 00:00:30,280 --> 00:00:36,519 Speaker 1: you saw yesterday released a statement condemning the bill. What 10 00:00:36,680 --> 00:00:39,920 Speaker 1: would you say to Disney, which, obviously, through Disney World 11 00:00:39,920 --> 00:00:43,600 Speaker 1: and the properties there, has a substantial component of its 12 00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:47,479 Speaker 1: company located in your state. What was your response when 13 00:00:47,520 --> 00:00:51,080 Speaker 1: you saw their public statement yesterday? And do you anticipate 14 00:00:51,159 --> 00:00:56,240 Speaker 1: talking with CEO Bob Jacobic anytime soon? What's the relationship 15 00:00:56,320 --> 00:01:00,480 Speaker 1: like there. Well, this state will be governed the best 16 00:01:00,520 --> 00:01:03,440 Speaker 1: interests of the people of Florida, not based on the 17 00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:07,920 Speaker 1: ideology of corporate executives in California. And for Disney to 18 00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:10,000 Speaker 1: come out and say not only that the law should 19 00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:12,440 Speaker 1: have never been enacted in the first place, but that 20 00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:17,000 Speaker 1: they're going to actively work to repeal substantive rights and 21 00:01:17,080 --> 00:01:19,440 Speaker 1: protections that have been put in the law to benefit 22 00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:22,600 Speaker 1: parents in our state. I thought that that crossed the line. 23 00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:25,840 Speaker 1: I mean, first of all, they were not involved in 24 00:01:25,959 --> 00:01:28,120 Speaker 1: lobbying on this bill when it was going through the 25 00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:30,600 Speaker 1: House of Representatives. I don't think they even registered to 26 00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:33,959 Speaker 1: lobby on this bill, and so it was something that 27 00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:36,800 Speaker 1: was going through they were not involved in it. Then 28 00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:38,760 Speaker 1: all of a sudden, the mob came after him. So 29 00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:41,080 Speaker 1: now they're acting like it should have never been enacted. 30 00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:43,720 Speaker 1: Also to state they're going to work to repeal it. 31 00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:46,840 Speaker 1: You know, I think that they think that they control 32 00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:49,720 Speaker 1: this state just because they have a big theme park here. 33 00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:52,160 Speaker 1: And I got news for you, that is not the 34 00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:54,120 Speaker 1: way the state of Florida is going to be run. 35 00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:56,720 Speaker 1: And we're not going to be bending any needs to 36 00:01:56,760 --> 00:02:00,320 Speaker 1: any woke corporations. Hey, Governor Sands, its back. I just 37 00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:02,040 Speaker 1: wanted you to. I wanted you to get on the 38 00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:05,320 Speaker 1: record with people all across the country listening, because, as 39 00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:09,800 Speaker 1: you know, there's been such an onslaught of propaganda around 40 00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:13,040 Speaker 1: the parental rights Bill in the state of Florida. Most people, 41 00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:15,239 Speaker 1: without even thinking about it in the news media or 42 00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:17,600 Speaker 1: perhaps after thinking about it depends who were talking about 43 00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:20,200 Speaker 1: referred to it as it don't say Gay bill. You know, 44 00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:24,720 Speaker 1: I'm sure saw the celebrities at the oscars who were 45 00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:27,760 Speaker 1: pretending that it was a don't say gaybel all of that. 46 00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:31,480 Speaker 1: What does the bill really do and why was it 47 00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:34,880 Speaker 1: important to get this through? Well, first, just let me 48 00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:37,359 Speaker 1: say people in Hollywood. These are the same people that 49 00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:41,520 Speaker 1: held up degenerates like Harvey Weinstein up as exemplars. They 50 00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:46,120 Speaker 1: serenaded him for years and years, knowing full well about 51 00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:49,440 Speaker 1: his misconduct in his behavior. So if they're criticizing Florida, 52 00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:52,120 Speaker 1: that is a badge of honor for this state. In 53 00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:54,120 Speaker 1: terms of what the bill actually does doesn't even mention 54 00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:57,480 Speaker 1: the word gay. It does two main things. It bans 55 00:02:57,960 --> 00:03:04,320 Speaker 1: any classroom curriculum on things like sexuality and transgender for 56 00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:08,280 Speaker 1: grades K through three, and so it's totally inappropriate that 57 00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:11,360 Speaker 1: that would be something that would be injected into your 58 00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:14,919 Speaker 1: kids kindergartener, first grade classroom. And then anything beyond that 59 00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:17,079 Speaker 1: has to be age appropriate. So that's kind of the 60 00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:20,000 Speaker 1: curriculum component. So that's really what they're talking about. What 61 00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:22,760 Speaker 1: they don't talk about as much, so they're misrepresenting that 62 00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:26,000 Speaker 1: but they don't even acknowledge are some of the subsetive 63 00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:29,560 Speaker 1: protections for parents beyond that. So we had a woman 64 00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:34,400 Speaker 1: at our press conference yesterday from Tallahassee named January Little John. 65 00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:37,280 Speaker 1: Her daughter was in school in the school system here, 66 00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:42,440 Speaker 1: and this school, without telling her or her consent, was 67 00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:46,480 Speaker 1: transitioning her daughter to become a boy. They even assigned 68 00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:49,320 Speaker 1: her a boy's name, they had her used boy pronouns, 69 00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:53,720 Speaker 1: and so in Florida, that is totally inappropriate to do 70 00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:57,240 Speaker 1: that without informing the parent or without the parents consent. 71 00:03:57,360 --> 00:04:00,880 Speaker 1: So now parents have substantive rights for school would try 72 00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:03,040 Speaker 1: to do that in schools know that that's not something 73 00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:05,640 Speaker 1: that they're allowed to do. And so I think if 74 00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:08,360 Speaker 1: you talk about the build of parents, you know, I 75 00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:13,120 Speaker 1: think overwhelming massive majorities think that this is just common sense. 76 00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:16,080 Speaker 1: We loved what you did. We had one of the 77 00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:20,640 Speaker 1: female swimmers that competed against the pen transgender swimmer yesterday 78 00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:24,920 Speaker 1: on our program Swims at the University of Kentucky, and 79 00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:30,600 Speaker 1: you honored because the girl who came in second really 80 00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:33,320 Speaker 1: would have been first place if a biological memo yan 81 00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:38,440 Speaker 1: swimming against her. Emma Yant. You released a proclamation because 82 00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:41,119 Speaker 1: I believe she was from Sarah Soda. If I'm not wrong, 83 00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:45,240 Speaker 1: explain how you came to make that decision and what 84 00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:49,600 Speaker 1: your perspective is in general on men competing against women's sports, 85 00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:54,480 Speaker 1: which has become a cultural flashpoint in our society of late. Unfortunately, 86 00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:58,120 Speaker 1: Well I signed a bill last year protecting women's sports 87 00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:01,240 Speaker 1: in Florida from the early grades all the way through 88 00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:05,520 Speaker 1: college because women deserve to have equal opportunities. And when 89 00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:08,200 Speaker 1: you have a man who may identify as a woman 90 00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:11,720 Speaker 1: but is still biologically a man competing and swimming and 91 00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:14,240 Speaker 1: some of these other things, it's not fair and it 92 00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:17,080 Speaker 1: destroys the integrity of a competition. And so that's really 93 00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:21,120 Speaker 1: what the NCAA did. They destroyed the integrity of that 94 00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:25,000 Speaker 1: women's swimming championship, and they robbed m A. Wyant of 95 00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:28,160 Speaker 1: a national championship. And yeah, she's from Sarasota. She was 96 00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:31,200 Speaker 1: an All American all four years of high school. She 97 00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:34,400 Speaker 1: won a silver medal at the Olympics, and she should 98 00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:38,919 Speaker 1: have been crowned national champion. And this is a girl 99 00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:43,680 Speaker 1: that is really fantastic and to have something a life 100 00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:47,320 Speaker 1: achievement like that taken away from you because of a 101 00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:51,040 Speaker 1: woke organization like the NCAA. I think that wasn't an injustice. 102 00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:54,000 Speaker 1: And I also think the NCAA is asking people like 103 00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:57,560 Speaker 1: us to be complicit and what is a fraud. We're 104 00:05:57,640 --> 00:05:59,640 Speaker 1: not going to accept what they're doing. That is not 105 00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:04,080 Speaker 1: an honorable competition, That is not a competition with integrity. 106 00:06:04,279 --> 00:06:06,360 Speaker 1: And I can tell you this, if everything I've done 107 00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:08,880 Speaker 1: as a governor, this is one of the things we're 108 00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:11,000 Speaker 1: all just have random people come up to me and 109 00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:13,160 Speaker 1: just saying like, Hey, I really love that you stuck 110 00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:16,800 Speaker 1: up for the woman swimmer. Here's the thing, guys. People 111 00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:19,359 Speaker 1: know this is wrong, but a lot of people are 112 00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:21,960 Speaker 1: scared to speak up about it because they're worried about 113 00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:25,320 Speaker 1: a woke mob smearing them. They're worried about a media 114 00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:28,200 Speaker 1: that will smear them because this is something that is 115 00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:32,279 Speaker 1: very that they hold dear in terms of their agenda 116 00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:36,080 Speaker 1: with elite media and these wokesters. And so I'm just like, 117 00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:38,960 Speaker 1: you know what, I get attacked every dog on day. 118 00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:40,920 Speaker 1: What do I care if they attack me. I need 119 00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:43,040 Speaker 1: to speak up for these people. And I've gotten a 120 00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:46,320 Speaker 1: lot of correspondence from women college athletes around the country 121 00:06:46,839 --> 00:06:48,800 Speaker 1: writing in my apag just being like, hey, thanks, we 122 00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:51,240 Speaker 1: all believe this. We can't say it, and we're worried 123 00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:53,839 Speaker 1: about saying it, but you're speaking the truth. We're speaking 124 00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:58,560 Speaker 1: in Florida, Governor Ronda Santis, and Governor you were on 125 00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:02,480 Speaker 1: the very front line of holding a line against the 126 00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:07,920 Speaker 1: COVID lockdown mandate, masking madness. We're now two years into this, 127 00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:10,760 Speaker 1: and I don't know if you saw this, Governor, but 128 00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:13,320 Speaker 1: there's just now a lawsuit that's making its way up 129 00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:16,400 Speaker 1: in the press of airline attendants who are saying that 130 00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:20,320 Speaker 1: massing on planes is absurd, which I think anybody who 131 00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:22,000 Speaker 1: thinks about it for a few minutes will come to 132 00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:24,640 Speaker 1: that or even shorter come to that same conclusion. What 133 00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:26,800 Speaker 1: are you doing in this? First of all, I just 134 00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:28,840 Speaker 1: want you to weigh in on the mass mandate that 135 00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:31,520 Speaker 1: the federal government lawsuit at Florida. Yeah, you know, we 136 00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:35,840 Speaker 1: just announced that today, myself and our Attorney general announced 137 00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:38,840 Speaker 1: that because you know, they extended the mass mandate into April. 138 00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:42,120 Speaker 1: And then Fauci's now put his head back out saying, oh, well, 139 00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:45,960 Speaker 1: we may have to impose restrictions based on where cases are, 140 00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:49,760 Speaker 1: and this is unacceptable. And so even if Biden lets 141 00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:55,280 Speaker 1: the airline the transportation mass mandate expire next month, he 142 00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:57,960 Speaker 1: very well may reinstitute it at some point. And so 143 00:07:58,080 --> 00:08:01,680 Speaker 1: I think that there's a constitutional issue here. I think 144 00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:03,880 Speaker 1: there's a matter of the government acting in a way 145 00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:07,480 Speaker 1: that's arbitrary and capricious. And so we have filed suit. 146 00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:10,320 Speaker 1: There's been other suits that fought. Unfortunately, these suits have 147 00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:15,360 Speaker 1: not succeeded throughout the last two years on this particular issue. 148 00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:17,960 Speaker 1: The federal government does have certain authorities when it comes 149 00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:22,600 Speaker 1: to interstate interstate travel. However, you cannot tell me that 150 00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:26,560 Speaker 1: if you're sitting in a window seat nibbling on peanuts 151 00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:29,440 Speaker 1: for two hours with your mask underneath your chin, and 152 00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:31,360 Speaker 1: I'm sitting right next to you, and I can't just 153 00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:33,240 Speaker 1: put my mask on my chin if I want to 154 00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:35,560 Speaker 1: just read a magazine. I mean, give me a break. 155 00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:39,480 Speaker 1: This is COVID theater and it needs to end. Amen, 156 00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:41,360 Speaker 1: And you're preaching to the choir here for a lot 157 00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:45,120 Speaker 1: of our audience. We talked recently with you, I don't 158 00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:47,600 Speaker 1: remember a couple of months ago about the overall number 159 00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:51,240 Speaker 1: of people moving to Florida. Couple of things here. One, 160 00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:53,520 Speaker 1: what would you say to people out there who are 161 00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:56,360 Speaker 1: afraid that people the numbers have reflected, I'm sure you 162 00:08:56,440 --> 00:08:59,160 Speaker 1: saw him, Governor, that people are leaving New York, they're 163 00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:03,480 Speaker 1: leaving California, they're leaving Chicago. Are you concerned at all 164 00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:07,240 Speaker 1: about what political beliefs those people are going to bring 165 00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:09,600 Speaker 1: with them as they move into Florida, which has been 166 00:09:09,640 --> 00:09:11,480 Speaker 1: one of the top states to gain What is the 167 00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:15,200 Speaker 1: data showing you there? And second, my co host here 168 00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:18,560 Speaker 1: Buck Sexton is considering making the move from New York 169 00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:22,319 Speaker 1: to Florida as many have. What pitch would you make 170 00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:26,280 Speaker 1: to him on why he should officially make that move? So, 171 00:09:26,559 --> 00:09:29,160 Speaker 1: first thing, when I got elected governor, there were almost 172 00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:32,959 Speaker 1: three hundred thousand more registered Democrats than Republicans in the 173 00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:37,240 Speaker 1: state of Florida. This month of March, we are officially 174 00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:42,319 Speaker 1: passing over one hundred thousand more Republicans than Democrats, and 175 00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:46,959 Speaker 1: so that's about a four hundred thousand registration shift in 176 00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:50,280 Speaker 1: favor of Republicans. Well, that tells me is that the 177 00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:53,880 Speaker 1: people that have moved here since COVID have been disproportionately 178 00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:57,440 Speaker 1: moving for philosophical reasons because they liked what we were 179 00:09:57,480 --> 00:09:59,640 Speaker 1: doing in the state of Florida. Yes, they like the 180 00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:02,680 Speaker 1: local taxes, but we've always had low taxes. They liked 181 00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:05,000 Speaker 1: the fact that Florida was a free state and they 182 00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:08,440 Speaker 1: were fleeing lockdowns. They liked the fact that Florida as 183 00:10:08,440 --> 00:10:10,880 Speaker 1: a law and order state and they were fleeing areas 184 00:10:10,920 --> 00:10:13,800 Speaker 1: where crime was exploding. And there's a lot of other 185 00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:15,679 Speaker 1: things that we've done that I think people do. So 186 00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:18,800 Speaker 1: I think it's skewed very favorably to us. And look, 187 00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:20,920 Speaker 1: I'm running you in twenty twenty two. You know we're 188 00:10:20,920 --> 00:10:23,600 Speaker 1: gonna run, run hard. Hopefully we run big. But if 189 00:10:23,640 --> 00:10:27,000 Speaker 1: we do, I think people will start conceiving Florida less 190 00:10:27,040 --> 00:10:28,880 Speaker 1: as a swing state and more as a red state. 191 00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:31,480 Speaker 1: So stay tuned on that. What I would tell Buck, 192 00:10:31,559 --> 00:10:33,320 Speaker 1: I don't know what part of New York City you are, 193 00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:36,840 Speaker 1: I will tell you this. I saw analysis that Manhattan 194 00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:41,120 Speaker 1: had the biggest decline in registered Republicans of any other 195 00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:44,439 Speaker 1: jurisdiction in the country. They lost twenty five percent of 196 00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:46,480 Speaker 1: their registered Republicans. And I know there's a lot more 197 00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:49,280 Speaker 1: registered Democrats in Manhattan than than Republicans, but I think 198 00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:52,559 Speaker 1: that shows you that those folks were very sensitive to 199 00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:55,079 Speaker 1: the disastrous policies and a lot of them came to 200 00:10:55,160 --> 00:10:57,439 Speaker 1: Florida to do it. And so what I would tell 201 00:10:57,520 --> 00:11:01,839 Speaker 1: Buck is, anytime i'd see some buddy California, they move, 202 00:11:02,040 --> 00:11:05,880 Speaker 1: Washington State, New York, New Jersey, Wisconsin, Minnesota, you name it, 203 00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:09,319 Speaker 1: I will always say, do you regret it? And I 204 00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:11,880 Speaker 1: have not had one person say they regret the move yet. 205 00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:14,439 Speaker 1: We'll save some room down here, Governor for not just me, 206 00:11:14,559 --> 00:11:16,520 Speaker 1: a whole lot of other folks listening all across the 207 00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:19,920 Speaker 1: country in crazy blue states. Governor Ron de Santis of 208 00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:22,160 Speaker 1: the Great State of Florida, Governor, really appreciate it, Sarah, 209 00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:26,880 Speaker 1: thanks for being with us. Thanks guys, Take care man. 210 00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:29,520 Speaker 1: I know there's a lot of people listening to that 211 00:11:29,679 --> 00:11:33,800 Speaker 1: right now, Buck that are fired up about the fact that, 212 00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:36,079 Speaker 1: I mean, you're willing to go toe to toe with 213 00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:40,520 Speaker 1: Disney in Florida. You ain't gonna apologize for what you believe. 214 00:11:40,640 --> 00:11:42,439 Speaker 1: And I do think you know, we were talking about 215 00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:46,040 Speaker 1: the Trump legacy. I believe the number We'll talk about 216 00:11:46,040 --> 00:11:47,280 Speaker 1: this a little bit more when we come back, but 217 00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:50,760 Speaker 1: I believe the number one legacy of Donald Trump in 218 00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:55,160 Speaker 1: the Republican Party is going to be the willingness to fight, 219 00:11:55,960 --> 00:11:58,800 Speaker 1: not being concerned about what the New York Times editorial 220 00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:01,160 Speaker 1: page is going to say, or what a Washington Post 221 00:12:01,240 --> 00:12:03,920 Speaker 1: columnist or what they're gonna say at CNN or MSNBC, 222 00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:08,599 Speaker 1: because those people don't speak for the masses, fight for 223 00:12:08,760 --> 00:12:11,559 Speaker 1: what you believe. Trum trumps Um means the willingness to 224 00:12:11,720 --> 00:12:15,839 Speaker 1: go on offense in politics, to not constantly feel like 225 00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:18,960 Speaker 1: you have to wring your hands and apologize and prevaricate. 226 00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:24,000 Speaker 1: The anti Romney. Yes, it's the anti Mitt Romney of Republicanism. 227 00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:27,800 Speaker 1: And uh, Governor Rhonda Santis is certainly right right there 228 00:12:28,120 --> 00:12:31,959 Speaker 1: throwing throwing punches for the good guys. Are you speaking 229 00:12:32,080 --> 00:12:37,960 Speaker 1: after the whole slaping open and it slaps to America? Uh, 230 00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:40,199 Speaker 1: here we go with the gees and dream sheets.

We were talking about the 265 00:14:26,880 --> 00:14:29,520 Speaker 1: number of people. You heard the governor himself talk about 266 00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:32,160 Speaker 1: the fact that Florida is now a red state and 267 00:14:32,320 --> 00:14:34,240 Speaker 1: that if things go as he hopes that they are 268 00:14:34,320 --> 00:14:38,120 Speaker 1: going to go in the governor election in twenty twenty two. 269 00:14:38,800 --> 00:14:41,840 Speaker 1: By the way, you want to talk about an important 270 00:14:41,920 --> 00:14:45,520 Speaker 1: governor's election that most people really didn't pay that much 271 00:14:45,520 --> 00:14:49,080 Speaker 1: at tension to Buck Ronda Santis beat Andrew Gillham by 272 00:14:49,120 --> 00:14:53,720 Speaker 1: around thirty thousand votes in twenty eighteen. If Andrew Gillham 273 00:14:53,920 --> 00:14:57,120 Speaker 1: wins that election, then what ends up happening in the 274 00:14:57,200 --> 00:15:00,120 Speaker 1: state of Florida is I really do believe this think 275 00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:02,880 Speaker 1: Florida would have lockdown like California. I think Florida would 276 00:15:02,880 --> 00:15:05,280 Speaker 1: have locked down like New York and Michigan and many 277 00:15:05,360 --> 00:15:08,480 Speaker 1: other blue states and the red state governors, many of 278 00:15:08,600 --> 00:15:11,920 Speaker 1: them followed in the wake of Ron De Santis's lead 279 00:15:12,280 --> 00:15:16,080 Speaker 1: in terms of COVID normalcy, that would have been much 280 00:15:16,160 --> 00:15:19,800 Speaker 1: more challenging to do without the leadership shown by the 281 00:15:19,920 --> 00:15:21,920 Speaker 1: State of Florida. I think you and I would be 282 00:15:22,080 --> 00:15:26,520 Speaker 1: broadcasting from a ship in international waters somewhere at this point. 283 00:15:26,600 --> 00:15:28,320 Speaker 1: I mean, we would have had to find the island 284 00:15:28,360 --> 00:15:31,920 Speaker 1: where Tom Hanks filmed Castaway. I'd be shouting at Wilson 285 00:15:32,040 --> 00:15:35,760 Speaker 1: while you were taking us into commercial breaks. It is amazing, 286 00:15:35,800 --> 00:15:37,760 Speaker 1: and a lot of people don't pay attention. I do 287 00:15:37,920 --> 00:15:40,640 Speaker 1: think that's been one of those impacts we talked earlier 288 00:15:40,680 --> 00:15:43,160 Speaker 1: about how many more parents are involved in school board 289 00:15:43,240 --> 00:15:47,000 Speaker 1: decisions and local elections in a way that maybe in 290 00:15:47,080 --> 00:15:49,480 Speaker 1: the past have not been. I don't know that there's 291 00:15:49,520 --> 00:15:52,240 Speaker 1: ever been a more consequential time in any of our 292 00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:54,480 Speaker 1: lives to be governor than what we've seen over the 293 00:15:54,520 --> 00:15:56,960 Speaker 1: past two years. I mean, the Republican Party really does 294 00:15:57,080 --> 00:16:00,640 Speaker 1: have this huge opening, and it's been happening here for 295 00:16:00,760 --> 00:16:02,920 Speaker 1: a while to be the party of well, what do 296 00:16:03,080 --> 00:16:07,960 Speaker 1: normal people who aren't indoctrinated with fashionable ideology, what do 297 00:16:08,040 --> 00:16:10,840 Speaker 1: they think about things? You know, just a normal everyday 298 00:16:10,880 --> 00:16:12,960 Speaker 1: American is going to think and when I'm not just 299 00:16:13,040 --> 00:16:15,360 Speaker 1: talking to Republicans here talk about independence, I'm even talking 300 00:16:15,400 --> 00:16:18,400 Speaker 1: about some Democrats. Remember us Trump got a bunch of 301 00:16:18,560 --> 00:16:21,160 Speaker 1: former Obama voters to switch over a lot of works 302 00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:25,520 Speaker 1: are class folks. Class folks listen to the show, and 303 00:16:25,920 --> 00:16:29,160 Speaker 1: you know they're just like, Okay, politics should be about 304 00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:32,800 Speaker 1: trying to make our lives, you know, not make them worse. 305 00:16:32,960 --> 00:16:34,840 Speaker 1: Start with that, a do no harm principle will be 306 00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:37,120 Speaker 1: really get in politics and then just make our day 307 00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:39,200 Speaker 1: to day maybe a little bit better, a little bit easier. 308 00:16:39,560 --> 00:16:41,840 Speaker 1: Have a sense that the country is moving in the 309 00:16:41,960 --> 00:16:45,520 Speaker 1: right direction, and a feeling of you know, americanness as 310 00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:47,880 Speaker 1: an asset, something we're proud of and something that defends 311 00:16:47,920 --> 00:16:50,640 Speaker 1: your day to day freedom. And Republicans have this huge 312 00:16:50,640 --> 00:16:52,320 Speaker 1: opening here to be to be the party that's like, 313 00:16:52,400 --> 00:16:56,760 Speaker 1: we want you to have more input in your child's education. 314 00:16:57,040 --> 00:16:59,240 Speaker 1: We think that parents that children belong to, parents that 315 00:16:59,280 --> 00:17:01,760 Speaker 1: don't belong to the state. We think that you should 316 00:17:01,760 --> 00:17:04,720 Speaker 1: be able to literally breathe freely. On the mask issue, 317 00:17:04,880 --> 00:17:07,640 Speaker 1: we don't think the government should arbitrarily and capriciously lock 318 00:17:07,720 --> 00:17:10,520 Speaker 1: down your business because they feel like it. Because some 319 00:17:10,680 --> 00:17:14,479 Speaker 1: people that control media are terrified of what is now 320 00:17:14,640 --> 00:17:18,719 Speaker 1: essentially an ongoing series of flu seasons. You know, there 321 00:17:18,760 --> 00:17:21,760 Speaker 1: are so many ways that it's just the common sense stuff. 322 00:17:22,119 --> 00:17:24,680 Speaker 1: We get to be the Republican party, the Conservatives, however 323 00:17:24,680 --> 00:17:26,040 Speaker 1: you want to say, we get to be the common 324 00:17:26,119 --> 00:17:30,160 Speaker 1: sense party that does good governance, that helps businesses grow, 325 00:17:30,320 --> 00:17:34,200 Speaker 1: that helps people live in freedom and prosperity. And isn't 326 00:17:34,760 --> 00:17:36,760 Speaker 1: what we saw the last year was what happens when 327 00:17:36,800 --> 00:17:38,720 Speaker 1: the government gets to basically make more and more and 328 00:17:38,800 --> 00:17:41,879 Speaker 1: more decisions for you all the time. It's misery. It's misery, 329 00:17:41,920 --> 00:17:44,119 Speaker 1: and it also starts to destroy the currency, which is 330 00:17:44,119 --> 00:17:47,440 Speaker 1: another bad thing, which, by the way, speaking of this 331 00:17:47,680 --> 00:17:50,280 Speaker 1: is what the nation is now saying. There's a Harvard 332 00:17:50,359 --> 00:17:53,160 Speaker 1: Harris poll out. It teas that earlier in the show, Buck, 333 00:17:53,840 --> 00:17:58,600 Speaker 1: and the results are pretty staggering. Donald Trump, who to 334 00:17:58,720 --> 00:18:01,080 Speaker 1: my knowledge, Buck, you may remember, I love looking at polls. 335 00:18:01,160 --> 00:18:03,480 Speaker 1: I understand people out there who say, oh, the poll data, 336 00:18:03,560 --> 00:18:06,680 Speaker 1: you can't trust it, it's unreliable. I understand, okay, but 337 00:18:06,840 --> 00:18:10,760 Speaker 1: I don't remember ever seeing Donald Trump having a six 338 00:18:10,880 --> 00:18:15,000 Speaker 1: point lead over Joe Biden at any point from any 339 00:18:15,119 --> 00:18:19,600 Speaker 1: poll that existed during the twenty twenty election. Donald Trump 340 00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:22,359 Speaker 1: right now, according to the most recent Harvard Harris poll 341 00:18:22,480 --> 00:18:25,280 Speaker 1: that came out late last night, is up right now 342 00:18:25,440 --> 00:18:30,200 Speaker 1: over Joe Biden forty seven to forty one percent. Okay, significant, 343 00:18:30,600 --> 00:18:34,879 Speaker 1: that's a six point lead Biden for Trump. Buck he 344 00:18:35,040 --> 00:18:39,760 Speaker 1: has an eleven point lead over Kamala Harris forty nine 345 00:18:40,160 --> 00:18:42,800 Speaker 1: to thirty eight. Now, if you believe, as many of 346 00:18:42,880 --> 00:18:47,879 Speaker 1: our listeners do, that these numbers oftentimes are skewed in 347 00:18:48,119 --> 00:18:53,119 Speaker 1: terms of being favored towards Democrats, I mean, this is 348 00:18:53,240 --> 00:18:55,760 Speaker 1: unprecedented for him to have a lead. And I also 349 00:18:55,840 --> 00:18:58,760 Speaker 1: think this is significant if you look at the data 350 00:18:59,560 --> 00:19:03,720 Speaker 1: the day is reflecting right now that Republicans are opening 351 00:19:03,840 --> 00:19:10,280 Speaker 1: up a huge lead overall in terms of the congressional race. 352 00:19:10,680 --> 00:19:16,800 Speaker 1: Same pole, Harvard Harris pole generic congressional vote, Republicans have 353 00:19:16,960 --> 00:19:20,560 Speaker 1: opened up a six point lead as Joe Biden has 354 00:19:20,600 --> 00:19:22,920 Speaker 1: hit a thirty nine percent approval rate. By the way, 355 00:19:22,920 --> 00:19:26,119 Speaker 1: and this Harvard Harris pole, Republicans have opened up and 356 00:19:26,400 --> 00:19:32,359 Speaker 1: unheard of six point lead in this overall battle in 357 00:19:32,480 --> 00:19:36,959 Speaker 1: the mid terms. If that's accurate. And again, requisite hey, 358 00:19:37,040 --> 00:19:39,840 Speaker 1: it's a pole maintained that we don't know exactly what's 359 00:19:39,840 --> 00:19:44,680 Speaker 1: gonna happen. It would represent a seismic change in our 360 00:19:44,800 --> 00:19:49,160 Speaker 1: congressional membership, the likes of which could exceed what happened 361 00:19:49,200 --> 00:19:52,879 Speaker 1: in nineteen ninety four and twenty ten. Let's go to 362 00:19:52,920 --> 00:19:56,440 Speaker 1: the phones. Buck. This guy Greg is calling from his 363 00:19:56,760 --> 00:19:59,879 Speaker 1: RV as he moves to Florida. He was just listening 364 00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:02,640 Speaker 1: to our interview I believe with Rod de Santis. Greg, 365 00:20:02,840 --> 00:20:05,920 Speaker 1: how's the road, how's the drive going? The drive has 366 00:20:05,960 --> 00:20:09,600 Speaker 1: been good. I'm forty miles from the Florida state line, 367 00:20:10,080 --> 00:20:13,840 Speaker 1: sold the house yesterday in Connecticut and moving the whole 368 00:20:13,920 --> 00:20:19,880 Speaker 1: family to Florida. Where this is. Yeah, West Palm Beach. 369 00:20:20,160 --> 00:20:23,280 Speaker 1: Oh Man, we might be neighbors, all right? So what Greg, 370 00:20:23,520 --> 00:20:27,240 Speaker 1: for you? What's your family situation and what made what 371 00:20:27,520 --> 00:20:31,080 Speaker 1: was the tipping point for you to finally say I'm 372 00:20:31,160 --> 00:20:33,920 Speaker 1: out of Connecticut and I'm moving to Florida. What was 373 00:20:34,040 --> 00:20:38,639 Speaker 1: the precipitating factor? Um? Well, one, I could sell my 374 00:20:38,760 --> 00:20:41,600 Speaker 1: house at a fair price because of all the exodus 375 00:20:41,880 --> 00:20:44,560 Speaker 1: of people leaving New York City but not being able 376 00:20:44,600 --> 00:20:48,280 Speaker 1: to move far enough away. They're moving to Connecticut. So 377 00:20:48,480 --> 00:20:52,280 Speaker 1: my house price was a favorable there. But I'm on 378 00:20:52,400 --> 00:20:56,439 Speaker 1: the board of a social media company taking on Facebook, 379 00:20:56,880 --> 00:20:59,880 Speaker 1: and uh, you know it could have a very nice 380 00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:03,520 Speaker 1: exit Yearine, I want to be prepared and in the 381 00:21:03,640 --> 00:21:09,080 Speaker 1: right place for when those things happened. Was for tax reasons, 382 00:21:09,119 --> 00:21:13,199 Speaker 1: but also for political and life reasons as well. All 383 00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:16,080 Speaker 1: those reasons. It just was a no brainer for me. 384 00:21:16,240 --> 00:21:20,439 Speaker 1: But I was also very interested in this absurd uh 385 00:21:21,040 --> 00:21:25,040 Speaker 1: statement about we're going to tax unrealized games. I mean, 386 00:21:25,160 --> 00:21:28,960 Speaker 1: this not only is not only is it's ridiculous. So 387 00:21:29,240 --> 00:21:30,800 Speaker 1: if you think about it, so what are you gonna 388 00:21:30,800 --> 00:21:33,720 Speaker 1: have to do? Sell your shares every year to pay 389 00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:36,320 Speaker 1: the taxes? On great point, and then eventually you don't 390 00:21:36,359 --> 00:21:39,760 Speaker 1: own your company anymore because you have to sell percentages 391 00:21:39,800 --> 00:21:43,880 Speaker 1: of it. And if it's a bad idea, if it's 392 00:21:43,920 --> 00:21:46,120 Speaker 1: not even a workable idea, really, I mean, it would 393 00:21:46,119 --> 00:21:49,280 Speaker 1: just cause devastation. Horrible idea, I'll use that. I mean, 394 00:21:49,320 --> 00:21:51,040 Speaker 1: thank you for the call, Greg, And by the way, 395 00:21:51,080 --> 00:21:53,560 Speaker 1: welcome to Florida in advance as your forty miles away. 396 00:21:53,600 --> 00:21:56,199 Speaker 1: How big is your family? You go ahead? Good? How 397 00:21:56,320 --> 00:22:00,680 Speaker 1: is the family? Five? Five Republicans? Coming down? So I 398 00:22:00,800 --> 00:22:02,720 Speaker 1: have my in laws that are living with me, and 399 00:22:03,119 --> 00:22:05,720 Speaker 1: my wife and myself and I've actually got a twenty 400 00:22:05,800 --> 00:22:08,200 Speaker 1: year old daughter who's actually a Republican the name of 401 00:22:08,240 --> 00:22:11,000 Speaker 1: w So you've got five votes for DeSantis now that 402 00:22:11,080 --> 00:22:15,080 Speaker 1: are transporting from Connecticut to the Florida for the fall. 403 00:22:15,960 --> 00:22:18,400 Speaker 1: That's correct, all right, keep it going, man, I'll see 404 00:22:18,400 --> 00:22:20,040 Speaker 1: I'll see you down there. I'll be visiting for sure 405 00:22:20,080 --> 00:22:22,240 Speaker 1: a lot, and we'll see what else. I don't want 406 00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:24,520 Speaker 1: to leave. I don't want to leave my NYC and 407 00:22:24,640 --> 00:22:27,600 Speaker 1: my WR listener fam. So I got to spend a 408 00:22:27,640 --> 00:22:29,280 Speaker 1: lot of time in New York, no matter what, Clay. 409 00:22:29,359 --> 00:22:31,879 Speaker 1: But I will say, I wonder if if our caller 410 00:22:31,960 --> 00:22:34,040 Speaker 1: when he crosses over, you know, do you think he 411 00:22:34,119 --> 00:22:36,280 Speaker 1: throws on the flip flops and puts on some ray 412 00:22:36,359 --> 00:22:39,480 Speaker 1: bands or some Maui gyms in a little, a little 413 00:22:39,560 --> 00:22:43,720 Speaker 1: celebration moment. I think probably. So I'll say this, buck, 414 00:22:44,760 --> 00:22:49,000 Speaker 1: he's right about the unrealized gains. So I founded a 415 00:22:49,080 --> 00:22:51,560 Speaker 1: company an OutKick. I sold it last year to Fox. 416 00:22:52,480 --> 00:22:55,000 Speaker 1: I don't know what the valuation on a year to 417 00:22:55,160 --> 00:22:57,800 Speaker 1: year basis of my stake in the company that I 418 00:22:58,000 --> 00:23:01,920 Speaker 1: owned would have been. But to his point, in order 419 00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:06,200 Speaker 1: to pay a twenty percent tax on the increasing value 420 00:23:06,280 --> 00:23:10,240 Speaker 1: in your unrealized gains. Many people are going to have 421 00:23:10,440 --> 00:23:13,879 Speaker 1: to sell their companies in order to pay the taxes 422 00:23:14,080 --> 00:23:16,159 Speaker 1: on the gains that they have in the company. It 423 00:23:16,359 --> 00:23:19,120 Speaker 1: is this is one of the dumbest I mean again, 424 00:23:19,240 --> 00:23:22,800 Speaker 1: defund the police is probably the dumbest idea. But it 425 00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:26,399 Speaker 1: is to me a testament buck to how few people 426 00:23:26,720 --> 00:23:32,320 Speaker 1: in the Democrat Party now understand basic business. If you 427 00:23:32,480 --> 00:23:35,360 Speaker 1: are running a business and you are putting your heart 428 00:23:35,440 --> 00:23:37,879 Speaker 1: and soul into that company, as I know many of 429 00:23:37,960 --> 00:23:42,480 Speaker 1: our listeners are, somebody out there in irs Land is 430 00:23:42,520 --> 00:23:46,399 Speaker 1: going to assess the value of your unrealized gain in 431 00:23:46,520 --> 00:23:51,600 Speaker 1: your company and potentially force you to sell assets in 432 00:23:51,760 --> 00:23:55,639 Speaker 1: your company in order to pay a tax bill. I mean, 433 00:23:55,840 --> 00:23:57,560 Speaker 1: this is one of the things that they talk about 434 00:23:57,680 --> 00:23:59,760 Speaker 1: in terms of the death tax and how it's a 435 00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:03,880 Speaker 1: wide this unrealized gain. And again they're trying to sell 436 00:24:03,920 --> 00:24:07,399 Speaker 1: it as something that would just impact billionaires. That's not true. 437 00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:12,119 Speaker 1: It's eventually going to impact I bet just about everybody 438 00:24:12,200 --> 00:24:15,600 Speaker 1: who is listening to us. If this passes, it's madness. 439 00:24:15,800 --> 00:24:19,359 Speaker 1: It can't pass. This is giving way too much power 440 00:24:19,400 --> 00:24:22,119 Speaker 1: to the IRS and it is going to be a 441 00:24:22,680 --> 00:24:26,600 Speaker 1: incredible detriment to growing businesses all over this country, and 442 00:24:26,760 --> 00:24:30,320 Speaker 1: I feel like the Biden regime is writing checks that 443 00:24:30,359 --> 00:24:33,720 Speaker 1: its body can't cash. Clay, well played. We're gonna be 444 00:24:33,840 --> 00:24:40,119 Speaker 1: talking about we've got top gun trailer out.

It's because they know 482 00:26:40,560 --> 00:26:42,399 Speaker 1: that if they are not in control of the narrative 483 00:26:42,400 --> 00:26:45,120 Speaker 1: they're going to pay a political price. We're getting into 484 00:26:45,119 --> 00:26:46,639 Speaker 1: all that in the third hour. I wanted to talk 485 00:26:46,680 --> 00:26:48,280 Speaker 1: to you though for a little bit here.

We want to get into that, 491 00:27:04,600 --> 00:27:08,879 Speaker 1: or the billionaires taxes they call it. Sounds good, hugely problematic, 492 00:27:08,960 --> 00:27:12,240 Speaker 1: and I'm not not chilling for billionaires here, although I 493 00:27:12,280 --> 00:27:13,960 Speaker 1: would like to be one, although I'm gonna have to 494 00:27:14,040 --> 00:27:20,240 Speaker 1: win several lotteries to get there. Most listeners I would imagine, yes, yeah, exactly, 495 00:27:20,240 --> 00:27:21,800 Speaker 1: because one wants to hand me a billion, I'm not 496 00:27:21,800 --> 00:27:25,879 Speaker 1: gonna say no. But we'll also discuss the funding for 497 00:27:25,960 --> 00:27:31,640 Speaker 1: law enforcement in this, which is essentially a policy repudiation 498 00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:34,320 Speaker 1: of where the Democrat Party was in twenty twenty, which 499 00:27:34,400 --> 00:27:36,520 Speaker 1: was the whole defund the police madness, which is we 500 00:27:36,640 --> 00:27:40,240 Speaker 1: have agreed here, I've been saying for for years because 501 00:27:40,280 --> 00:27:44,280 Speaker 1: def remember this was defund two point zero with BLM 502 00:27:44,359 --> 00:27:47,439 Speaker 1: two point zero, defund the police is the dumbest political 503 00:27:47,480 --> 00:27:50,879 Speaker 1: slogan in the history of modern American politics, certainly in 504 00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:54,240 Speaker 1: my lifetime. But in terms of context, First, we've got 505 00:27:54,320 --> 00:27:57,040 Speaker 1: a five point eight trillion dollar budget request for Biden 506 00:27:57,160 --> 00:28:01,280 Speaker 1: Clay when Ronald Reagan proposed a budget this from the 507 00:28:01,280 --> 00:28:05,280 Speaker 1: New York Times back in nineteen eighty two. Do you 508 00:28:05,320 --> 00:28:06,800 Speaker 1: want to take a guess or do you want me 509 00:28:06,800 --> 00:28:08,760 Speaker 1: to just what the total federal budget was? And what 510 00:28:08,920 --> 00:28:12,080 Speaker 1: was the total federal budget nineteen eighty two. Oh, that's 511 00:28:12,119 --> 00:28:15,440 Speaker 1: such a good question. So forty years ago, two generations ago, 512 00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:18,440 Speaker 1: if I remember correctly, we had this conversation. I feel 513 00:28:18,480 --> 00:28:22,040 Speaker 1: like the national debt was around one trillion dollars at 514 00:28:22,080 --> 00:28:25,080 Speaker 1: the time. Now we're in national debt of thirty trillion. 515 00:28:26,200 --> 00:28:29,679 Speaker 1: I'm gonna guess in nineteen eighty two, if we're at 516 00:28:29,760 --> 00:28:34,040 Speaker 1: five point eight trillion federal budget, now, I'm going to 517 00:28:34,200 --> 00:28:37,560 Speaker 1: guess that it was eight hundred billion. That is an 518 00:28:37,760 --> 00:28:42,320 Speaker 1: excellent guess, six hundred and ninety five billion. So well done, 519 00:28:42,360 --> 00:28:46,560 Speaker 1: missus Travis. Guess, yeah, you got you got a plus 520 00:28:46,640 --> 00:28:49,280 Speaker 1: on that one. We did not coordinate this beforehead like 521 00:28:49,560 --> 00:28:52,440 Speaker 1: like the Christ and Will slap. This was not coordinated 522 00:28:52,520 --> 00:28:55,880 Speaker 1: beforehead six hundred so excellent. Yeah, six hundred and ninety 523 00:28:55,920 --> 00:28:57,760 Speaker 1: five billion dollars. I just think everyone needs to know 524 00:28:58,160 --> 00:29:01,240 Speaker 1: this because they their party really wants to talk to 525 00:29:01,280 --> 00:29:02,840 Speaker 1: you about this. They don't want to talk about the 526 00:29:03,480 --> 00:29:06,520 Speaker 1: and the Republicans pretend, but there are very few that 527 00:29:06,600 --> 00:29:11,080 Speaker 1: are serious about the structural issues for the economy of 528 00:29:11,120 --> 00:29:13,880 Speaker 1: a thirty trillion dollars in debt. Look at where we 529 00:29:13,960 --> 00:29:16,200 Speaker 1: were when the Tea Party was worried about the dead 530 00:29:16,240 --> 00:29:19,360 Speaker 1: in twenty ten versus where we are now. So we 531 00:29:19,480 --> 00:29:23,160 Speaker 1: have a basically six trillion dollars of federal spending that 532 00:29:23,280 --> 00:29:26,000 Speaker 1: Biden is putting forward. Now we know that the spending 533 00:29:26,080 --> 00:29:28,240 Speaker 1: from the president is a wish list, and it's Congress 534 00:29:28,280 --> 00:29:29,800 Speaker 1: that has to actually deal with all this, and he's 535 00:29:29,800 --> 00:29:32,560 Speaker 1: not going to get this through, but it's essentially telling 536 00:29:32,600 --> 00:29:35,920 Speaker 1: the American people, hey, here, here are my priorities. But 537 00:29:36,040 --> 00:29:37,840 Speaker 1: just the fact that it's gone from six hundred and 538 00:29:37,960 --> 00:29:42,040 Speaker 1: ninety five billion dollars in nineteen eighty two to six 539 00:29:42,600 --> 00:29:45,560 Speaker 1: trillion dollars today, so basically over the course of my 540 00:29:46,280 --> 00:29:49,280 Speaker 1: and your lifetime, Clay, it has gone up so much, 541 00:29:49,320 --> 00:29:50,880 Speaker 1: just gives you a sense of how we're just in 542 00:29:50,960 --> 00:29:56,400 Speaker 1: a whole other universe of spending. And now we get 543 00:29:56,440 --> 00:29:58,560 Speaker 1: into what exactly Biden's looking at. Do you want to do? 544 00:29:58,600 --> 00:30:01,440 Speaker 1: You want to do cops first? Want to do wealth 545 00:30:01,600 --> 00:30:05,960 Speaker 1: tax first? The cops we actually agree on, do we 546 00:30:06,040 --> 00:30:08,520 Speaker 1: want to have a positive I mean, the one thing 547 00:30:08,600 --> 00:30:12,160 Speaker 1: in Joe Biden's career buck that he may have gotten right, 548 00:30:12,760 --> 00:30:15,360 Speaker 1: was the nineteen ninety four crime Bill that he then 549 00:30:15,440 --> 00:30:18,840 Speaker 1: tried to run against in the two thousand and twenty election. 550 00:30:19,000 --> 00:30:21,960 Speaker 1: But I don't think some Republicans are trying to criticize 551 00:30:22,040 --> 00:30:23,800 Speaker 1: him for that pill. It's like no, no, no, guys, no, no, no, 552 00:30:24,320 --> 00:30:26,360 Speaker 1: that's not just because he did it doesn't mean it's wrong. 553 00:30:26,840 --> 00:30:31,880 Speaker 1: The ninety four crime Bill definitely decrease the amount of 554 00:30:31,960 --> 00:30:35,880 Speaker 1: crime that's going on in the United States because and 555 00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:38,760 Speaker 1: there were some parts of it obviously that we're draconian, 556 00:30:38,840 --> 00:30:41,160 Speaker 1: but three strikes in, You're out was a big part 557 00:30:41,200 --> 00:30:46,080 Speaker 1: of that, and it put violent criminals behind bars. And 558 00:30:46,240 --> 00:30:48,920 Speaker 1: as a result, this is not this shouldn't be considered, 559 00:30:49,000 --> 00:30:51,800 Speaker 1: you know, rocket science, but unfortunately it is because people 560 00:30:51,840 --> 00:30:55,280 Speaker 1: have the memories of goldfish now as when you put 561 00:30:55,480 --> 00:30:58,280 Speaker 1: violent criminals behind bars and when you let them know 562 00:30:58,440 --> 00:31:00,520 Speaker 1: that if they commit crimes, they're going to be significant 563 00:31:00,560 --> 00:31:03,520 Speaker 1: consequences for those crimes, crime goes down. And so the 564 00:31:03,640 --> 00:31:06,000 Speaker 1: ninety four crime bill that was kind of the apex 565 00:31:06,120 --> 00:31:09,360 Speaker 1: right buck of there's a couple of more years after that. 566 00:31:09,680 --> 00:31:12,360 Speaker 1: The idea was that the crime rate was going to 567 00:31:12,400 --> 00:31:15,320 Speaker 1: continue to skyrocket. I remember being a kid in those 568 00:31:15,440 --> 00:31:18,160 Speaker 1: days and reading about all the crime wave and everything else, 569 00:31:18,480 --> 00:31:23,360 Speaker 1: and then boom, suddenly crime collapsed up until the last 570 00:31:23,520 --> 00:31:26,280 Speaker 1: three or four years when suddenly it's come surging back. 571 00:31:27,320 --> 00:31:31,720 Speaker 1: So and here is Ted Cruise on the budget before 572 00:31:31,760 --> 00:31:34,240 Speaker 1: we dive into the police aspect of it again, just 573 00:31:34,320 --> 00:31:36,400 Speaker 1: putting this all in context for a senator Cruise from 574 00:31:36,440 --> 00:31:40,520 Speaker 1: Texas on how this would over the course of the 575 00:31:40,760 --> 00:31:44,400 Speaker 1: spending that this would initiate. And we know this is 576 00:31:44,440 --> 00:31:46,160 Speaker 1: again the wish list, but this is showing you the 577 00:31:46,280 --> 00:31:49,320 Speaker 1: vision for the country. Ted Cruise has forty five trillion 578 00:31:49,360 --> 00:31:51,440 Speaker 1: dollar national debts. What we'd be looking at plack Cliff 579 00:31:51,480 --> 00:31:54,680 Speaker 1: twenty Joe Biden's budget and the Socialists and the Democratic 580 00:31:54,800 --> 00:31:58,160 Speaker 1: Party they want to jack up Texas on Americans across 581 00:31:58,280 --> 00:32:02,960 Speaker 1: this country. You know, this proposes taking the national debt 582 00:32:03,040 --> 00:32:06,000 Speaker 1: all the way up to forty five trillion dollars. That 583 00:32:06,200 --> 00:32:09,240 Speaker 1: is a staggering amount. And one of the amazing things 584 00:32:09,320 --> 00:32:13,520 Speaker 1: about Biden's budget is it's based on old, outdated numbers, 585 00:32:13,600 --> 00:32:17,480 Speaker 1: so it assumes inflation is still down at two percent. 586 00:32:18,080 --> 00:32:21,880 Speaker 1: We're seeing record high inflation of eight percent, and the 587 00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:25,960 Speaker 1: Biden budget numbers laughably assume that the trillions they've spent 588 00:32:26,040 --> 00:32:29,959 Speaker 1: already hasn't caused inflation. So you're going to have raising 589 00:32:30,280 --> 00:32:32,880 Speaker 1: interest rates here. So rising interest rates, they're going to 590 00:32:32,960 --> 00:32:37,000 Speaker 1: raise them coming up. That's already underway, which is going 591 00:32:37,040 --> 00:32:40,080 Speaker 1: to mean that also payment on the debt, that service 592 00:32:40,120 --> 00:32:42,640 Speaker 1: payments on the thirty trillion dollars of national debt is 593 00:32:42,640 --> 00:32:45,560 Speaker 1: going to start to crowd out others spending within the 594 00:32:46,040 --> 00:32:49,239 Speaker 1: within the government budget, and the purse strings are going 595 00:32:49,280 --> 00:32:51,040 Speaker 1: to have to get even looser as a result of this. 596 00:32:51,240 --> 00:32:55,240 Speaker 1: The grip of the IRT a big increase in IRS 597 00:32:55,480 --> 00:32:58,320 Speaker 1: agent funding in the Biden budget. They've already been pushing 598 00:32:58,360 --> 00:33:00,400 Speaker 1: for this. I think they wanted what seventy billion dollars 599 00:33:00,480 --> 00:33:03,160 Speaker 1: of new funding for the i RS over a period 600 00:33:03,200 --> 00:33:05,040 Speaker 1: of time. They want a lot of i ARS agents 601 00:33:05,080 --> 00:33:06,960 Speaker 1: to be able to come after you and then Clay, 602 00:33:07,040 --> 00:33:08,560 Speaker 1: we get to the part of this where they're going 603 00:33:08,640 --> 00:33:11,320 Speaker 1: to kind of like the way they've created the Don't 604 00:33:11,360 --> 00:33:13,440 Speaker 1: Say Gay bill that doesn't actually have anything to do 605 00:33:13,680 --> 00:33:17,360 Speaker 1: with being able to say gay. The billionaires tax now 606 00:33:17,400 --> 00:33:19,640 Speaker 1: they're talking about, now this will effect I would assume 607 00:33:19,720 --> 00:33:24,040 Speaker 1: some billionaires. I will tell everybody listening that the wealth 608 00:33:24,160 --> 00:33:26,880 Speaker 1: tax that they have tried in places like France ends 609 00:33:26,960 --> 00:33:30,480 Speaker 1: up essentially not getting paid by anybody. They all either 610 00:33:30,600 --> 00:33:33,480 Speaker 1: repatriate their capital, they leave, they find ways around it. 611 00:33:33,520 --> 00:33:35,240 Speaker 1: They're very rich. They have a lot of ways to 612 00:33:35,320 --> 00:33:37,920 Speaker 1: game the system. So the wealth tax ended up being 613 00:33:37,960 --> 00:33:40,640 Speaker 1: a very small driver of revenue in France where they 614 00:33:40,680 --> 00:33:44,680 Speaker 1: tried it. I think about ten years ago. Girard Depardu. 615 00:33:45,240 --> 00:33:48,320 Speaker 1: Do you celebrate all of his movies, mister Travis. I 616 00:33:48,480 --> 00:33:50,760 Speaker 1: did study French and I have seen a lot of 617 00:33:50,840 --> 00:33:53,960 Speaker 1: the Girard Deperdue cannon of films. I believe he is 618 00:33:54,000 --> 00:33:56,360 Speaker 1: now me too. I think he's out of the commission. 619 00:33:56,440 --> 00:33:57,760 Speaker 1: Did he really give me too? I don't even know 620 00:33:57,840 --> 00:34:00,200 Speaker 1: he got me too. Yeah, man, I can't even deal 621 00:34:00,240 --> 00:34:02,160 Speaker 1: in France. I think if I'm wrong, I don't want 622 00:34:02,240 --> 00:34:05,880 Speaker 1: Girard deperduce somebody looking up on the staff. I'll correct 623 00:34:05,920 --> 00:34:09,320 Speaker 1: that if I'm wrong, but I believe that that Girard 624 00:34:09,360 --> 00:34:12,920 Speaker 1: Deperdue has has been me too in France, one of 625 00:34:13,000 --> 00:34:15,680 Speaker 1: the casualties of the me too movement, and France didn't 626 00:34:15,719 --> 00:34:18,239 Speaker 1: have the same level of me too. They actually had 627 00:34:18,280 --> 00:34:21,160 Speaker 1: a debate in France about whether me too made sense. 628 00:34:21,680 --> 00:34:24,640 Speaker 1: But I think he got caught up in the crossfire there. Yeah, 629 00:34:24,680 --> 00:34:27,640 Speaker 1: a lot of French politicians worried about their mistresses coming 630 00:34:27,680 --> 00:34:29,600 Speaker 1: out and saying things, well, I mean, yeah, that was 631 00:34:29,640 --> 00:34:32,000 Speaker 1: sort of a trend. Was everybody just had that was 632 00:34:32,560 --> 00:34:35,239 Speaker 1: very different scepted that. Yes, very different vibe in France, 633 00:34:35,280 --> 00:34:38,920 Speaker 1: but all that stuff. Yes, anyway, so we have the 634 00:34:39,120 --> 00:34:41,319 Speaker 1: the wealth tax doesn't really get paid, and the talking 635 00:34:41,360 --> 00:34:44,560 Speaker 1: point you'll always hear from people who are allergic to 636 00:34:45,400 --> 00:34:48,120 Speaker 1: actual history or actual knowledge. They'll say, oh, in the 637 00:34:48,360 --> 00:34:51,799 Speaker 1: Eisenhower administration, the top tax rate was ninety five percent. Okay, Well, 638 00:34:51,800 --> 00:34:54,480 Speaker 1: ask how many people actually paid, how many people actually 639 00:34:54,480 --> 00:34:56,960 Speaker 1: made and paid that top tax ray The answer basically nobody. 640 00:34:57,680 --> 00:35:00,400 Speaker 1: So this whole well, everybody was paying ninety five percent. 641 00:35:00,480 --> 00:35:02,640 Speaker 1: Of the wealthy we're paying ninety five percent. Nobody was 642 00:35:02,680 --> 00:35:07,000 Speaker 1: paying ninety five percent income tax. Really so, but now 643 00:35:07,080 --> 00:35:08,640 Speaker 1: we get to what this would do. So Clay, they're 644 00:35:08,680 --> 00:35:13,560 Speaker 1: talking about taxing unrealized gains in the stock market. It's 645 00:35:13,600 --> 00:35:16,320 Speaker 1: amazing they could even put this forward because and again 646 00:35:17,080 --> 00:35:18,960 Speaker 1: it is annoying that the tax code is game in 647 00:35:19,040 --> 00:35:21,440 Speaker 1: so many ways. I'm for a flat tax. I'm a 648 00:35:21,480 --> 00:35:23,279 Speaker 1: flat tame me. I've been for a long time this 649 00:35:23,520 --> 00:35:25,239 Speaker 1: So it's not like I sit here and just wind 650 00:35:25,280 --> 00:35:29,840 Speaker 1: about this. The tax code is a massive monument to influence, peddling, 651 00:35:30,120 --> 00:35:34,040 Speaker 1: grifft corruption. That's why it's tens of thousands of pages long. 652 00:35:34,160 --> 00:35:35,839 Speaker 1: And you know there's always you can apply it. We're 653 00:35:35,920 --> 00:35:39,400 Speaker 1: relatively smart guys. I'm I was texting with my accountant 654 00:35:39,440 --> 00:35:42,000 Speaker 1: earlier today. I have no idea how to do my taxes. 655 00:35:42,239 --> 00:35:43,520 Speaker 1: I just send them all. Yeah, you just can you 656 00:35:43,520 --> 00:35:45,040 Speaker 1: send them all your stuff? You're like, please, you know, 657 00:35:45,080 --> 00:35:46,879 Speaker 1: I don't want to go I have to do. Tell 658 00:35:46,920 --> 00:35:48,239 Speaker 1: me what I have to pay. That's basically what I 659 00:35:48,320 --> 00:35:52,399 Speaker 1: do too. And and here we are looking at them 660 00:35:52,480 --> 00:35:56,479 Speaker 1: putting forward this, this billionaire's tax and I mean Clay 661 00:35:56,600 --> 00:35:59,800 Speaker 1: for them to go after unrealized gains and stock portfolios. 662 00:36:00,000 --> 00:36:01,640 Speaker 1: How WoT that. So let's let's just work this out 663 00:36:01,680 --> 00:36:06,000 Speaker 1: for everybody. Let's say you're you're you're a you know, 664 00:36:06,160 --> 00:36:09,400 Speaker 1: early investor in Tesla, and now you're a Tesla billionaire. 665 00:36:09,440 --> 00:36:12,880 Speaker 1: You're worth ten billion dollars on paper in Tesla stock. 666 00:36:13,440 --> 00:36:15,960 Speaker 1: So you pay based on the value for tax here 667 00:36:16,400 --> 00:36:21,200 Speaker 1: twenty twenty two of whatever. That is what happens when 668 00:36:21,280 --> 00:36:23,120 Speaker 1: the stock you know gets it. Let's assume the stock 669 00:36:23,120 --> 00:36:26,040 Speaker 1: gets cut in half the next year. Yeah, are you happy? 670 00:36:26,239 --> 00:36:29,120 Speaker 1: It's it's a great question unrealized gains for people out 671 00:36:29,160 --> 00:36:31,480 Speaker 1: there because a lot of people don't spend time thinking 672 00:36:31,520 --> 00:36:34,480 Speaker 1: about this. Let's say you bought a stock, right, you 673 00:36:34,600 --> 00:36:36,800 Speaker 1: buy a stock for ten dollars and it goes to 674 00:36:36,960 --> 00:36:41,200 Speaker 1: one hundred dollars until you sell that stock. That is 675 00:36:41,239 --> 00:36:44,720 Speaker 1: a paper gain, that is an unrealized gain and income 676 00:36:45,160 --> 00:36:49,040 Speaker 1: in your in your possession. But if you never sell it, 677 00:36:49,480 --> 00:36:52,120 Speaker 1: then you don't pay you don't pay taxes on that 678 00:36:52,840 --> 00:36:55,560 Speaker 1: that on that gain. Right. So what the government is 679 00:36:55,640 --> 00:36:58,000 Speaker 1: now saying they're going to do, which is a pretty 680 00:36:58,040 --> 00:37:03,160 Speaker 1: revolutionary idea, they are going to tax the unrealized gain 681 00:37:03,360 --> 00:37:05,440 Speaker 1: that you may have in your stocks. The challenge with 682 00:37:05,560 --> 00:37:09,600 Speaker 1: this buck is stocks don't just go up. So let's 683 00:37:09,640 --> 00:37:11,759 Speaker 1: say you pay that that stock went from ten to 684 00:37:11,920 --> 00:37:14,400 Speaker 1: one hundred, and you're forced to pay a tax on 685 00:37:14,560 --> 00:37:18,160 Speaker 1: that unrealized gain. Do you get a refund if the 686 00:37:18,200 --> 00:37:22,320 Speaker 1: company goes bankrupt and you never sold it, Because until 687 00:37:22,520 --> 00:37:25,880 Speaker 1: you sell that stock, you don't have the physical possession 688 00:37:25,960 --> 00:37:29,160 Speaker 1: of the money, so there hasn't been a tangible realization 689 00:37:29,200 --> 00:37:31,680 Speaker 1: of that gain. So you could ride a stock prices 690 00:37:31,719 --> 00:37:33,680 Speaker 1: I'm sure some of our listeners have. You could have 691 00:37:33,760 --> 00:37:36,160 Speaker 1: a stock that goes on fire for years, goes from 692 00:37:36,239 --> 00:37:38,600 Speaker 1: ten to one hundred, and then that company could go 693 00:37:38,719 --> 00:37:41,680 Speaker 1: bankrupt and you end up with zero. So is the 694 00:37:41,760 --> 00:37:44,440 Speaker 1: government going to give you a refund for all of 695 00:37:44,520 --> 00:37:47,200 Speaker 1: the money that you lost in that stock as soon 696 00:37:47,280 --> 00:37:51,480 Speaker 1: as you start taxing realized gains? The reality is there 697 00:37:52,560 --> 00:37:55,480 Speaker 1: there are stock price declines that occur as well where 698 00:37:55,520 --> 00:37:58,600 Speaker 1: the government could be having to give refunds. In theory, 699 00:37:58,640 --> 00:38:02,160 Speaker 1: if they're going to implement this for billions of dollars, right, 700 00:38:02,320 --> 00:38:05,640 Speaker 1: I mean, this is remember for them to get real revenue, folks, 701 00:38:05,680 --> 00:38:07,120 Speaker 1: And this is what they always want to hide from. 702 00:38:07,160 --> 00:38:10,200 Speaker 1: You think I'd attacks a lot of people that's what 703 00:38:10,760 --> 00:38:14,600 Speaker 1: they could seize fifty percent of the assets of billionaires. 704 00:38:14,719 --> 00:38:17,279 Speaker 1: And it wouldn't it wouldn't cover the costs over time 705 00:38:17,320 --> 00:38:20,200 Speaker 1: of what Nancy Pelosi wants to spend on, you know, 706 00:38:20,520 --> 00:38:24,840 Speaker 1: studying tree frogs in the Pacific Northwest and getting everybody 707 00:38:24,880 --> 00:38:27,040 Speaker 1: ready with windmills for the Green New Deal. It's just 708 00:38:27,160 --> 00:38:30,040 Speaker 1: not there's always more spending that they're gonna want to push, 709 00:38:30,360 --> 00:38:31,879 Speaker 1: and I mean and on that. By the way, Clay, 710 00:38:31,920 --> 00:38:35,240 Speaker 1: they have four times what Obama in this Biden budget, 711 00:38:35,320 --> 00:38:40,640 Speaker 1: four times what Obama wanted for climate change specific causes. 712 00:38:40,719 --> 00:38:42,040 Speaker 1: I think is that that's the number that I saw, 713 00:38:42,160 --> 00:38:46,880 Speaker 1: seventeen billion for climate research across federal agencies, seventeen billion 714 00:38:46,960 --> 00:38:51,800 Speaker 1: dollars to research essentially the average temperature around the globe. 715 00:38:52,280 --> 00:38:53,920 Speaker 1: Do we think they're gonna come up with this and say, 716 00:38:53,960 --> 00:38:55,719 Speaker 1: you know what, it's actually not that big a deal. Guys. 717 00:38:55,920 --> 00:38:57,560 Speaker 1: It goes up, it goes down, we'll all be fine. 718 00:38:57,560 --> 00:38:59,480 Speaker 1: I have a feeling they're not going to say that. Yeah, 719 00:38:59,520 --> 00:39:00,920 Speaker 1: And when we come back, I want to hit you 720 00:39:00,960 --> 00:39:03,320 Speaker 1: because some people are saying, oh, it's a billionaire's tax. 721 00:39:03,560 --> 00:39:05,879 Speaker 1: I don't care about billionaires because to your point, Buck, 722 00:39:05,960 --> 00:39:09,160 Speaker 1: you and I and probably almost everyone.

But it's gonna get worse too. 799 00:43:05,920 --> 00:43:09,200 Speaker 1: You know this better than anybody. As we roll into 800 00:43:09,239 --> 00:43:12,440 Speaker 1: twenty twenty two, and as the weather gets in a 801 00:43:12,560 --> 00:43:16,120 Speaker 1: situation where you can come across in March, April and 802 00:43:16,200 --> 00:43:19,640 Speaker 1: May before it gets super hot, that's when people can 803 00:43:19,760 --> 00:43:22,719 Speaker 1: really pour across the border in monster numbers. And if 804 00:43:22,760 --> 00:43:25,840 Speaker 1: they get rid of Title forty two, there is already 805 00:43:26,000 --> 00:43:30,960 Speaker 1: intelligence that Border patrol has that there are we were 806 00:43:31,000 --> 00:43:33,320 Speaker 1: calling them caravans, but it's almost like a caravan in 807 00:43:33,480 --> 00:43:36,719 Speaker 1: place already. They're not mobile, they've already gathered on the 808 00:43:36,840 --> 00:43:39,040 Speaker 1: Mexico side of the border, and they're just waiting for 809 00:43:39,160 --> 00:43:41,960 Speaker 1: that title forty two to drop and then they're going 810 00:43:42,040 --> 00:43:45,759 Speaker 1: to try to overwhelm the border resources. And this is 811 00:43:45,800 --> 00:43:48,000 Speaker 1: why I try to tell everybody, and it's sorry, I 812 00:43:48,120 --> 00:43:49,600 Speaker 1: was just mentioning.

I just got stuck with the border 815 00:43:54,040 --> 00:43:56,359 Speaker 1: patrol thoughts, because again, we got a lot of border 816 00:43:56,360 --> 00:43:58,080 Speaker 1: patrol folks, and they appreciate it. They said, there's just 817 00:43:58,280 --> 00:44:02,280 Speaker 1: not nearly enough, not nearly enough time spent on this issue, 818 00:44:02,640 --> 00:44:06,319 Speaker 1: which is number two in the polls of most Republican voters, 819 00:44:06,440 --> 00:44:09,360 Speaker 1: is always high up for independent voters too. Very important 820 00:44:09,400 --> 00:44:14,719 Speaker 1: issue nationwide, illegal immigration, very important issue nationwide. But if well, 821 00:44:14,800 --> 00:44:16,520 Speaker 1: what ends up happening is people think if we have 822 00:44:16,760 --> 00:44:19,279 Speaker 1: more resources deployed at the border, even if let's say 823 00:44:19,320 --> 00:44:22,560 Speaker 1: we were to send the military to the border, which 824 00:44:22,560 --> 00:44:25,879 Speaker 1: people will talk about, that would help a little bit, 825 00:44:26,800 --> 00:44:29,360 Speaker 1: it wouldn't solve the problem, because the problem we have 826 00:44:29,480 --> 00:44:31,680 Speaker 1: at the US Mexico border right now for a legal 827 00:44:31,840 --> 00:44:36,480 Speaker 1: entry is one of law enforcement and political will and statute. 828 00:44:36,680 --> 00:44:38,120 Speaker 1: And for anyone who wants to know what I mean, 829 00:44:38,600 --> 00:44:42,560 Speaker 1: you could have national guards standing every ten feet along 830 00:44:42,640 --> 00:44:45,000 Speaker 1: the border, and folks, you know what happened right now, 831 00:44:45,640 --> 00:44:49,959 Speaker 1: family units, especially with family units and uncompanied children would 832 00:44:50,000 --> 00:44:52,960 Speaker 1: would say hello, where I am, I would like to 833 00:44:53,000 --> 00:44:55,720 Speaker 1: claim asylum, and under the law as it is interpreted 834 00:44:55,760 --> 00:44:58,080 Speaker 1: and enforced right now, they are led into the country 835 00:44:58,120 --> 00:45:00,800 Speaker 1: and they are processed. It is not a it's not 836 00:45:00,920 --> 00:45:03,640 Speaker 1: If only we had more people down there at the border, 837 00:45:03,719 --> 00:45:06,319 Speaker 1: we could solve this problem. Because the people that are 838 00:45:06,360 --> 00:45:09,840 Speaker 1: in charge don't want to actually don't want to actually 839 00:45:10,080 --> 00:45:12,080 Speaker 1: enforce the laws that are currently on the books, and 840 00:45:12,200 --> 00:45:15,080 Speaker 1: not in a serious way. They don't do in cheery enforcement. Clay, 841 00:45:15,080 --> 00:45:19,480 Speaker 1: it's a mess. Here's how well it is distributed worldwide. 842 00:45:19,520 --> 00:45:21,400 Speaker 1: To know what a mess it is. I read this 843 00:45:21,520 --> 00:45:23,680 Speaker 1: article and I couldn't believe it. We've heard a lot 844 00:45:23,840 --> 00:45:26,799 Speaker 1: more about the Ukrainian border than we have our southern border. 845 00:45:27,120 --> 00:45:30,880 Speaker 1: But here's an intersection of the two. There are Ukrainians 846 00:45:31,000 --> 00:45:38,279 Speaker 1: now who have fled Ukraine flown to Mexico and are 847 00:45:38,400 --> 00:45:40,839 Speaker 1: coming across to get into the United States through our 848 00:45:40,880 --> 00:45:44,080 Speaker 1: southern border. It is so well known how much of 849 00:45:44,160 --> 00:45:47,560 Speaker 1: a sieve that our southern border is that even people 850 00:45:47,719 --> 00:45:51,480 Speaker 1: right now in Ukraine buck who are fleeing outside of 851 00:45:51,560 --> 00:45:55,920 Speaker 1: their country are aware. Hey, I can take a flight 852 00:45:56,120 --> 00:45:59,960 Speaker 1: from Europe to Mexico and when I get to Mexico 853 00:46:00,000 --> 00:46:03,439 Speaker 1: a co I can cross the United States border there 854 00:46:03,920 --> 00:46:06,279 Speaker 1: at the southern border there I was reading I think 855 00:46:06,280 --> 00:46:09,319 Speaker 1: it was a New York Times article about Ukrainians who 856 00:46:09,360 --> 00:46:11,919 Speaker 1: were making the choice to come across our southern border 857 00:46:12,000 --> 00:46:14,799 Speaker 1: to enter and claim asylum in that method, right, because 858 00:46:14,800 --> 00:46:16,680 Speaker 1: they go to the pretty wild to think about. They 859 00:46:16,760 --> 00:46:18,799 Speaker 1: go to the front of the asylum line in a sense, 860 00:46:18,880 --> 00:46:22,719 Speaker 1: they they decide that they won't actually remember refugee would 861 00:46:22,719 --> 00:46:27,359 Speaker 1: be applying from the let's say embassy in Poland. That's 862 00:46:27,480 --> 00:46:31,560 Speaker 1: refugee status. Asylum is here, I am, I need to 863 00:46:31,640 --> 00:46:35,120 Speaker 1: stay here or else. So I totally understand why Ukrainians 864 00:46:35,800 --> 00:46:37,960 Speaker 1: system as as the way as the way to get 865 00:46:38,000 --> 00:46:41,040 Speaker 1: into the country and stay here. Um so, so anyway 866 00:46:41,080 --> 00:46:43,719 Speaker 1: that the border something will continue to bring you the 867 00:46:43,800 --> 00:46:45,560 Speaker 1: numbers and focus on I actually want to get down 868 00:46:45,640 --> 00:46:48,800 Speaker 1: there again, probably this summer when it can be a 869 00:46:49,400 --> 00:46:52,160 Speaker 1: way I've never been. I would actually like down show. Yeah, 870 00:46:52,440 --> 00:46:54,880 Speaker 1: I've got to take the show and remotely great contacts 871 00:46:54,920 --> 00:46:57,400 Speaker 1: down there we go. We'll get some uh, some folks 872 00:46:57,800 --> 00:46:59,960 Speaker 1: on the Texas on the Texas Sideman we'll have. It'll 873 00:47:00,120 --> 00:47:01,560 Speaker 1: be good. So let's do that. Well, actually we should 874 00:47:01,560 --> 00:47:02,800 Speaker 1: get down there the board at some point. Yeah, some 875 00:47:02,840 --> 00:47:05,160 Speaker 1: great affiliates down in Texas that could host us, and 876 00:47:05,480 --> 00:47:07,360 Speaker 1: we'll spend some time other because Clay, once you see it, 877 00:47:07,760 --> 00:47:09,279 Speaker 1: and once you say when I say, I mean, once 878 00:47:09,320 --> 00:47:11,440 Speaker 1: you see what's going on, which is just a hundred 879 00:47:11,480 --> 00:47:13,480 Speaker 1: people walking over saying hey here we are, you know, 880 00:47:13,640 --> 00:47:16,359 Speaker 1: bring us sandwiches and water. Where's my medical care? People 881 00:47:16,440 --> 00:47:18,680 Speaker 1: think that the border is like this lockdown. Oh no, 882 00:47:18,800 --> 00:47:21,200 Speaker 1: we're really well, actually most people don't think that anymore. 883 00:47:21,440 --> 00:47:24,120 Speaker 1: But they think that it's this area that is well, 884 00:47:24,320 --> 00:47:26,400 Speaker 1: we know, well patrolled and border patrol stretched all over 885 00:47:26,440 --> 00:47:28,879 Speaker 1: the place. The humanitarian mission, they always they all say, 886 00:47:28,920 --> 00:47:34,080 Speaker 1: this humanitarian mission is way overshadowing their law enforcement, sovereignty 887 00:47:34,120 --> 00:47:37,279 Speaker 1: and national security mission, which is not that's not really 888 00:47:37,320 --> 00:47:38,799 Speaker 1: what they sign up for. I mean yeah, of course 889 00:47:38,840 --> 00:47:41,800 Speaker 1: our border patrol folks, who, by the way, are a 890 00:47:42,160 --> 00:47:45,120 Speaker 1: large percentage of them are former military, A large percent 891 00:47:45,200 --> 00:47:47,880 Speaker 1: of them are Latino Americans. So when you hear this stuff, 892 00:47:47,920 --> 00:47:50,520 Speaker 1: oh border patrol, it's the whole thing is so racist. 893 00:47:50,920 --> 00:47:53,120 Speaker 1: It's a lot of veterans and a lot of Hispanic 894 00:47:53,160 --> 00:47:55,040 Speaker 1: Americans who are on the border patrol who are doing 895 00:47:55,120 --> 00:47:58,960 Speaker 1: really important work, and the media just slanders. It's just slanders. 896 00:47:59,040 --> 00:48:00,600 Speaker 1: I mean, look at what happened with the horse. I 897 00:48:00,640 --> 00:48:02,800 Speaker 1: mean that that that the reins on the horse. I 898 00:48:02,840 --> 00:48:06,200 Speaker 1: mean it's still six months later like they were whipping people. 899 00:48:06,600 --> 00:48:09,200 Speaker 1: Uh there, there hasn't been any resolution. They remember they 900 00:48:09,239 --> 00:48:13,160 Speaker 1: were saying abolished ice too. That became Trump administration, the 901 00:48:13,239 --> 00:48:15,520 Speaker 1: AOC and she went down and she was crying, and 902 00:48:15,560 --> 00:48:17,800 Speaker 1: the whole thing, I mean, it's dressed an amazing like 903 00:48:17,960 --> 00:48:21,640 Speaker 1: we're all gonna be, yeah, ridiculous TikTok stars are gonna be, 904 00:48:21,840 --> 00:48:23,960 Speaker 1: you know, the the dictators of the future. We're all 905 00:48:24,000 --> 00:48:26,520 Speaker 1: gonna be living in fear of the TikTok idiots every 906 00:48:26,640 --> 00:48:29,600 Speaker 1: every whims But anyway, um, so that that's one component 907 00:48:29,640 --> 00:48:31,759 Speaker 1: of this. And I guess now I was gonna say 908 00:48:31,760 --> 00:48:35,280 Speaker 1: the other. We've got Team Buck and Team Clay, Team CNB, 909 00:48:35,640 --> 00:48:38,680 Speaker 1: law Enforcement. UM. So many people who listen to the 910 00:48:38,760 --> 00:48:41,719 Speaker 1: show from the law enforcing community, and I just feel 911 00:48:41,760 --> 00:48:44,360 Speaker 1: like that they as they see in this Biden budget, 912 00:48:45,080 --> 00:48:47,640 Speaker 1: that that defund the police is moronic, and it's not 913 00:48:47,760 --> 00:48:50,200 Speaker 1: moronic in general terms of Oh, I don't like this, 914 00:48:50,480 --> 00:48:53,839 Speaker 1: it's annoying, or like mask policy. I mean, I think 915 00:48:53,840 --> 00:48:56,319 Speaker 1: it's abusive and frustrating, but it isn't I'm not gonna 916 00:48:56,320 --> 00:48:59,840 Speaker 1: say mask policy kills people right, defund the police rhetoric 917 00:49:00,080 --> 00:49:04,439 Speaker 1: and progressive prosecutors and bail reform laws results in people dying. 918 00:49:04,760 --> 00:49:07,360 Speaker 1: When you get this stuff wrong, people die. The numbers 919 00:49:07,400 --> 00:49:09,520 Speaker 1: speak to this and Clay look at the Biden budget. 920 00:49:09,560 --> 00:49:12,320 Speaker 1: I think it's over thirty billion dollars for law enforcement 921 00:49:12,640 --> 00:49:16,960 Speaker 1: and law enforcement initiatives because they realize no one wants 922 00:49:17,000 --> 00:49:19,279 Speaker 1: to feel Over half the country last year said they 923 00:49:19,320 --> 00:49:21,840 Speaker 1: felt there's about fifty one fifty two percent, according to Gallop, 924 00:49:22,320 --> 00:49:28,239 Speaker 1: felt unsafe. That's a disaster for the pro criminal Democrats. 925 00:49:28,719 --> 00:49:31,200 Speaker 1: And we keep hammering this because so many people will 926 00:49:31,320 --> 00:49:35,200 Speaker 1: not address it or acknowledge it. If you look at 927 00:49:35,360 --> 00:49:38,320 Speaker 1: the murder rate in this country, which went up twenty 928 00:49:38,400 --> 00:49:42,960 Speaker 1: nine percent, I believe, most recently, and is continuing to 929 00:49:43,160 --> 00:49:47,000 Speaker 1: skyrocket in many places as we roll through twenty twenty two. 930 00:49:47,880 --> 00:49:53,200 Speaker 1: The people who are dying are overwhelmingly in inner city neighborhoods, 931 00:49:53,560 --> 00:50:01,160 Speaker 1: overwhelmingly black and Hispanic inner city residents, and they are 932 00:50:01,280 --> 00:50:04,720 Speaker 1: the people who bear the brunt of the defund police 933 00:50:04,800 --> 00:50:08,080 Speaker 1: call because police are not being allowed to do their jobs. 934 00:50:08,440 --> 00:50:11,960 Speaker 1: And what we are seeing is many people in the 935 00:50:12,000 --> 00:50:15,640 Speaker 1: Democratic Party now they see the numbers and they're just 936 00:50:15,760 --> 00:50:19,000 Speaker 1: going to pretend the defund the police didn't happen and 937 00:50:19,239 --> 00:50:23,040 Speaker 1: they didn't demonize the police. And as I've been saying 938 00:50:23,080 --> 00:50:26,520 Speaker 1: since I started on this show, being concerned about being 939 00:50:26,960 --> 00:50:31,359 Speaker 1: too punitive towards criminals is a luxury of a low 940 00:50:31,480 --> 00:50:34,919 Speaker 1: crime era, and we no longer live in a low 941 00:50:35,040 --> 00:50:39,040 Speaker 1: crime era. We need to be concerned about punishing criminals 942 00:50:39,320 --> 00:50:41,600 Speaker 1: and sending a message about what is and what is 943 00:50:41,640 --> 00:50:44,640 Speaker 1: not acceptable, and right now we aren't. But even the 944 00:50:44,719 --> 00:50:49,080 Speaker 1: Biden administration is recognizing the disaster that is their defund 945 00:50:49,160 --> 00:50:51,279 Speaker 1: the police narrative that has come out of the Democratic Party, 946 00:50:51,320 --> 00:50:54,120 Speaker 1: and they're abandoning it. When we come back, we're going 947 00:50:54,160 --> 00:50:55,759 Speaker 1: to talk to rand de stances at the top of 948 00:50:55,800 --> 00:50:59,640 Speaker 1: the hour, but we will discuss his signing of the 949 00:50:59,760 --> 00:51:02,320 Speaker 1: bill that has triggered so many on the left and 950 00:51:02,560 --> 00:51:06,440 Speaker 1: why that's coming. But first, so many Americans suffer from 951 00:51:06,520 --> 00:51:09,440 Speaker 1: chronic pain as a result of getting older, exercising a 952 00:51:09,520 --> 00:51:12,920 Speaker 1: little too much when they do, over exerting themselves at work, 953 00:51:13,440 --> 00:51:16,560 Speaker 1: and the effects of everyday living. This means there's a 954 00:51:16,600 --> 00:51:19,000 Speaker 1: good number of you out there listening right now that 955 00:51:19,239 --> 00:51:22,560 Speaker 1: have chronic pain.
