1 00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:03,600 Speaker 1: Welcome everybody to the Friday edition of the Clay Travis 2 00:00:03,640 --> 00:00:07,320 Speaker 1: and Buck Sexton Show. Appreciate you, Appreciate you. In fact, 3 00:00:07,400 --> 00:00:08,840 Speaker 1: I just leaned into that one. I don'tven know what's 4 00:00:08,840 --> 00:00:11,440 Speaker 1: going to happen. Appreciate you being with us, did it? 5 00:00:11,480 --> 00:00:13,520 Speaker 1: I said a Clay style there for a moment, there 6 00:00:13,560 --> 00:00:17,319 Speaker 1: you and we are excited to tell you about everything 7 00:00:17,360 --> 00:00:22,040 Speaker 1: going on, including this major summit, this major sit down 8 00:00:22,200 --> 00:00:26,360 Speaker 1: that is going on in Alaska with Trump and footin 9 00:00:26,640 --> 00:00:30,880 Speaker 1: that especially for a Friday in the middle of August, 10 00:00:31,600 --> 00:00:34,120 Speaker 1: that's going to be about as big time as it 11 00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:38,680 Speaker 1: gets for any one individual foreign policy news story short 12 00:00:38,680 --> 00:00:42,199 Speaker 1: of war breaking out somewhere or major terrorist attack. This 13 00:00:42,240 --> 00:00:45,040 Speaker 1: is a big deal and we're going to get into 14 00:00:45,080 --> 00:00:48,080 Speaker 1: some of the specifics here. I believe the meeting is 15 00:00:48,120 --> 00:00:52,040 Speaker 1: occurring post show, right, so we don't we don't. 16 00:00:51,880 --> 00:00:55,640 Speaker 2: Have three thirty Eastern time. It starts, which I believe 17 00:00:55,680 --> 00:01:01,280 Speaker 2: is eleven thirty am Alaska time, Alaska time. 18 00:01:01,320 --> 00:01:05,119 Speaker 1: We had some very interesting deep dive with the Governor 19 00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:07,800 Speaker 1: of Alaska yesterday and to things that people might not 20 00:01:07,880 --> 00:01:10,240 Speaker 1: have known about the lovely state where we have a 21 00:01:10,319 --> 00:01:16,760 Speaker 1: number of fantastic or even fabulous radio stations up there 22 00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:19,080 Speaker 1: where we have a great listening audience. 23 00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:19,680 Speaker 2: We appreciate you. 24 00:01:19,720 --> 00:01:23,360 Speaker 1: It's pretty incredible that people that far away can hear 25 00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:26,360 Speaker 1: us on the old radio stations. It's great, we love it. 26 00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:28,120 Speaker 1: But we'll give you some of the details on all 27 00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:29,880 Speaker 1: this all sort of take a lot of your talkbacks 28 00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:31,400 Speaker 1: and calls. 29 00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:33,800 Speaker 2: Today because it is a Friday. More on the DC 30 00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:38,480 Speaker 2: crime drama they're still going for. They're still pushing it. 31 00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:41,839 Speaker 1: In fact, Clay something that you see today, DC files 32 00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:48,360 Speaker 1: a lawsuit challenging the administration's police takeover. This just happened 33 00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:52,600 Speaker 1: today and this is still breaking. So the District of 34 00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:56,960 Speaker 1: Columbia has filed an emergency motion challenging the Trump administration's attempt. 35 00:01:57,000 --> 00:02:00,800 Speaker 1: They're going to have a judge listen to this. The 36 00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:03,360 Speaker 1: issue is, I see it here. It's pretty cut and 37 00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:07,480 Speaker 1: dry that the president can do this. So you're gonna 38 00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:10,080 Speaker 1: have to find some and I know the Democrats have 39 00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:13,000 Speaker 1: a million ways. They'll say it violates the Administrative Procedures 40 00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:15,760 Speaker 1: Act or something. Don't even know who the Administrative Proscedures 41 00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:18,520 Speaker 1: Act is, So this is just what they say. The 42 00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:20,120 Speaker 1: people who say they know what it is don't even 43 00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:23,320 Speaker 1: know what it is. So I'm wondering where they're really 44 00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:25,280 Speaker 1: going to take this and what this judge is going 45 00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:29,000 Speaker 1: to say. And we still have the redistricting fight going on. 46 00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:33,320 Speaker 1: By the way, the governor California, Gavin Newsom, has kicked 47 00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:37,360 Speaker 1: off his campaign for a proposition, play your buddy, Gavin. 48 00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:40,240 Speaker 1: I think Gavin is still the leader. I think he 49 00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:42,280 Speaker 1: is the leading Democrat in the country right now. Bernie 50 00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:46,720 Speaker 1: Sanders gets more live hype from the tours he does, 51 00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:50,560 Speaker 1: but I think Gavin views himself as the alpha male. 52 00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:52,440 Speaker 1: We're gonna get into the alpha males Trump and putin 53 00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:55,920 Speaker 1: here in a second, but what do you think of 54 00:02:56,680 --> 00:03:02,200 Speaker 1: both the DC emergency order challenging this or emergency challenge 55 00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:05,519 Speaker 1: I should say to the crime takeover, Well, let's start 56 00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:08,240 Speaker 1: with that one. I'm I'm seeing this as they're just 57 00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:10,760 Speaker 1: making it worse for themselves. And at this point, all 58 00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:12,880 Speaker 1: Trump has to do is just keep doing what he's doing, 59 00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:16,480 Speaker 1: and everybody who's opposing him is going to look increasingly foolish. 60 00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:20,080 Speaker 1: It is indisputably the case that Trump has the constitutional 61 00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:22,959 Speaker 1: authority to act as he did in Washington, d C. 62 00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:26,760 Speaker 1: With that in mind, it is also possible that a 63 00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:32,120 Speaker 1: federal district court judge could in the DC area question 64 00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:39,000 Speaker 1: whether Trump has that power, particularly Boseburg and the anti 65 00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:43,760 Speaker 1: Trump contingent of the district court judges. So the media 66 00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:47,440 Speaker 1: will chase whatever the district court judges do. But remember 67 00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:51,120 Speaker 1: the Ninth Circuit. I believe one of the Federal District 68 00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:55,000 Speaker 1: Court judges, a brother of Stephen Bryer, if I'm not mistaken, 69 00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:58,480 Speaker 1: in the San Francisco area, said that Trump didn't have 70 00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:02,080 Speaker 1: the right to call in the guard in LA and 71 00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:05,920 Speaker 1: almost immediately that was reversed as it moved up the 72 00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:10,240 Speaker 1: legal hierarchy. But it wouldn't shock me if a judge 73 00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:13,360 Speaker 1: said that Trump can't do what he clearly can do, 74 00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:17,359 Speaker 1: because many of these judges are basically politicians and robes, 75 00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:23,200 Speaker 1: and so he can indisputably do this. Warriors everywhere who 76 00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:26,760 Speaker 1: have even spent a scintilla of time studying this not 77 00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:30,960 Speaker 1: a difficult case. But that doesn't mean that some judge 78 00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:34,120 Speaker 1: might not say, well, I don't think he could do it, 79 00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:36,320 Speaker 1: you know, for some reason, just to write an opinion 80 00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:38,200 Speaker 1: to get a lot of attention. This is what we're 81 00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:42,120 Speaker 1: going to see. Are the hashtag resistance judges in DC 82 00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:48,279 Speaker 1: willing to remember this is not an interpretation of like 83 00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:53,039 Speaker 1: a broad spectrum authority that the president has. This is 84 00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:56,080 Speaker 1: specifically in the District of Columbia and looking at a 85 00:04:56,160 --> 00:04:59,080 Speaker 1: law pass in nineteen seventy three that has been good 86 00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:02,919 Speaker 1: law for fifty year that deals exactly with this issue, 87 00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:05,680 Speaker 1: that says Trump can do this. 88 00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:08,560 Speaker 2: This is Trump has thirty days he can do this. 89 00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:10,120 Speaker 2: It says it in the law. 90 00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:12,360 Speaker 1: Are we going to have a judge that comes along, 91 00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:17,320 Speaker 1: I'm i'm I could go fifty to fifty Whether he 92 00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:20,240 Speaker 1: would just say that he can't do it. Eventually judges 93 00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:22,559 Speaker 1: will say he can, but there might be one judge 94 00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:25,040 Speaker 1: who says he cannot. It'll just It's fascinating though, because 95 00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:27,680 Speaker 1: you see this. Judges no longer when it comes to 96 00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:31,880 Speaker 1: Trump and the hashtag resistance judiciary, they're no longer. There's 97 00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:35,359 Speaker 1: no longer the fear of embarrassment at being completely slapped 98 00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:37,839 Speaker 1: down nine ozho. Remember when they tried to kick Trump 99 00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:41,800 Speaker 1: off the ballot in Colorado. I think they talked about 100 00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:44,599 Speaker 1: it in Maine, right, but they actually were moving forward 101 00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:48,480 Speaker 1: on her in Colorado Supreme Court nine to oh. Even 102 00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:52,080 Speaker 1: so do mayor even catangi Brown Jackson. We're like guys, 103 00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:54,960 Speaker 1: I mean, we gotta pretend. We gotta pretend at least, right, 104 00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:57,320 Speaker 1: this is not even pretending to care what the law says. 105 00:05:57,680 --> 00:05:59,800 Speaker 1: This is pretty close to that for me, based on 106 00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:03,040 Speaker 1: the reading of the nineteen seventy three Home Relact. If 107 00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:05,400 Speaker 1: a judge manages to come up with some way to 108 00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:09,360 Speaker 1: stop Trump on this, it's just a judge saying I 109 00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:11,960 Speaker 1: don't like Trump. They're not even pretending the law matters. 110 00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:16,120 Speaker 2: I also think this is where there should be some 111 00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:20,479 Speaker 2: consequences when judges engage in behavior that's way outside the 112 00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:25,239 Speaker 2: bounds of what the law is. When you get lifetime tenure, 113 00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:28,960 Speaker 2: there's virtually nothing that happens to any of these federal 114 00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:33,680 Speaker 2: district court judges. Sure there's a measure of embarrassment on 115 00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:36,880 Speaker 2: some level for people who want to actually apply the law, 116 00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:39,520 Speaker 2: but I think in many ways that's canceled out by 117 00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:42,320 Speaker 2: other judges giving them pats on the back and saying, 118 00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:44,799 Speaker 2: way to stand up to that tyrant, Way to stand 119 00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:47,960 Speaker 2: up to that authoritarian. This is what judges should do. 120 00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:53,400 Speaker 2: And honestly, I think if you get overruled nine to zero, 121 00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:58,880 Speaker 2: I think you should actually have a consequence you know, 122 00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:01,279 Speaker 2: a good example, as you were just pointing out the 123 00:07:01,279 --> 00:07:04,919 Speaker 2: Colorado Supreme Court. Everybody wants to forget about it because 124 00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:08,240 Speaker 2: now they're saying, oh, redistricting is putting democracy on the 125 00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:12,640 Speaker 2: ballot and all these things. The state of Colorado voted 126 00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:16,320 Speaker 2: to pull Donald Trump off of the ballot and not 127 00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:19,720 Speaker 2: allow people there to vote for him, and the Colorado 128 00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:23,320 Speaker 2: Supreme Court said four to three, that's appropriate. We can 129 00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:26,960 Speaker 2: do this looking at the federal Constitution. And then the 130 00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:29,760 Speaker 2: actual Supreme Court looked at it and said nine to zho, no, 131 00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:33,560 Speaker 2: this is unacceptable. But all of those people in Colorado, 132 00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:36,960 Speaker 2: there were no consequences for them being wrong. There were 133 00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:40,000 Speaker 2: no consequences that we barely even talk about what they 134 00:07:40,080 --> 00:07:43,360 Speaker 2: tried to do. And what was it Maine that followed up. 135 00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:45,960 Speaker 2: There were multiple states that were willing to get in 136 00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:49,720 Speaker 2: line and say Trump was disqualified from being able to 137 00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:53,200 Speaker 2: be eligible for president of the United States. If that's 138 00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:57,760 Speaker 2: not an actual legal insurrection, what is, you know? That's 139 00:07:57,800 --> 00:08:02,360 Speaker 2: the phrase Kathy Hochel used to describe Texas redistricting. Pulling 140 00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:05,800 Speaker 2: a candidate off the ballot and not allowing your citizens 141 00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:12,120 Speaker 2: to vote is to me, a level of attack on 142 00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:15,520 Speaker 2: basic democracy in the process. I feel like it were 143 00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:17,040 Speaker 2: resident that maybe my. 144 00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:21,720 Speaker 1: Force judicial overreach we've seen in the Trump era against Trump, 145 00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:24,840 Speaker 1: I could because it's I mean, you think about they 146 00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:27,760 Speaker 1: also were just deciding that there was no there was 147 00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:30,640 Speaker 1: no process to speak of. I mean they just said, yeah, 148 00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:32,160 Speaker 1: Trump did a thing I don't like, so he can't 149 00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:34,000 Speaker 1: be on the ballot. You can't and you can't even 150 00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:36,200 Speaker 1: point to that just being one judge, buck, which is 151 00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:39,120 Speaker 1: why I find it so troubling. The Colorado Supreme Court, 152 00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:41,480 Speaker 1: I believe there's seven Supreme Court justices in the state 153 00:08:41,520 --> 00:08:44,679 Speaker 1: of Colorado voted four to three, we're gonna do this. 154 00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:48,480 Speaker 1: So that actually went through the entire Colorado court system 155 00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:50,839 Speaker 1: and they said yes, and then they got slapped down 156 00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:53,360 Speaker 1: nine to zero. And I'm mentioning it now, and I 157 00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:55,720 Speaker 1: bet a lot of you are just now thinking, oh, yeah, 158 00:08:55,720 --> 00:08:58,560 Speaker 1: I totally forgot about that. Because there's so many legal 159 00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:01,960 Speaker 1: process and procedures that have been put in place since then. 160 00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:05,680 Speaker 1: I think that was, of all of them, the most egregious. 161 00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:08,520 Speaker 1: And so when you hear somebody like Kathy Hokele, Governor 162 00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:11,240 Speaker 1: of New York, say, oh, this is a legal insurrection, 163 00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:15,200 Speaker 1: referring to Texas or redistricting. I think it's important to 164 00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:19,960 Speaker 1: remember what they did legitimately in trying to take Trump 165 00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:21,920 Speaker 1: off the ballot, and it had to go all the 166 00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:25,679 Speaker 1: way to Supreme Court to put his name on the ballot. 167 00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:28,719 Speaker 1: I can't think of anything that's even remotely comparable that 168 00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:32,040 Speaker 1: any Republican has ever done that is a legal attack 169 00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:37,320 Speaker 1: of a similar nature on Democrats. Meanwhile, there are Democrats 170 00:09:37,320 --> 00:09:41,320 Speaker 1: out there. This is as somebody who's been in Baghdad 171 00:09:41,400 --> 00:09:46,760 Speaker 1: during a war. I gotta tell you, here's Tiffany Cross, 172 00:09:47,160 --> 00:09:52,240 Speaker 1: Democrat saying, I guess this is over at CNN, CNNMSNBC. 173 00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:54,760 Speaker 2: You know, Tomato, Tomato, It's all the same these days. 174 00:09:55,360 --> 00:09:59,360 Speaker 2: Here she is saying, remember, she's upset, this has cut five. 175 00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:04,120 Speaker 1: She's upset not because DC is dangerous, but because there 176 00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:06,120 Speaker 1: are too many people who are there to make it 177 00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:07,880 Speaker 1: safer on the streets. 178 00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:10,760 Speaker 3: I mean, this is frightening. I kind of disagree with 179 00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:12,760 Speaker 3: you both. It's not a distraction, and the way we're 180 00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:17,559 Speaker 3: normalizing fascism is frightening. I left DC today it looked 181 00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:20,520 Speaker 3: like Baghdad, the way that the National Guard has taken over, 182 00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:23,240 Speaker 3: the way that they have militarized the police force there. 183 00:10:23,520 --> 00:10:26,360 Speaker 3: It is scary, and so the fact that he has 184 00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:30,880 Speaker 3: previously threatened to have Gavin Newsom arrested, he had the 185 00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:36,560 Speaker 3: Christy known the Homeland Security Secretary. I mean, for her, 186 00:10:36,679 --> 00:10:39,760 Speaker 3: killing puppies is business as usual. She's not in any 187 00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:43,440 Speaker 3: position to even be qualified to oversee a department with this. 188 00:10:43,559 --> 00:10:46,640 Speaker 3: Ice does not have the authority to arrest anybody. He 189 00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:48,880 Speaker 3: is deploying them, like you said, like it's his own 190 00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:50,400 Speaker 3: personal police. 191 00:10:49,960 --> 00:10:54,320 Speaker 1: Force, just ignoring everything that's true, and just saying things 192 00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:58,840 Speaker 1: that are crazy and emotionally charged, and even a shot 193 00:10:58,880 --> 00:11:00,480 Speaker 1: about the Gnomes puppies. 194 00:11:00,559 --> 00:11:03,360 Speaker 2: In the past, she did leave herself open to that. 195 00:11:03,559 --> 00:11:07,800 Speaker 1: But I'm not defending it. I'm just saying working this 196 00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:12,160 Speaker 1: is a kitchen sink strategy. It's fascism, attacking Nome for. 197 00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:13,960 Speaker 2: The dog thing, all this stuff. 198 00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:17,120 Speaker 1: She's going all in on this instead of just saying 199 00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:19,840 Speaker 1: for a second, hold on. First of all, there are 200 00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:22,800 Speaker 1: I've seen plenty of There was an armory near where 201 00:11:22,840 --> 00:11:25,000 Speaker 1: I grew up in New York. You see people in 202 00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:27,959 Speaker 1: military uniforms. Why is it scary to see people from 203 00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:30,760 Speaker 1: the National Guard? Why would that be a bad thing? 204 00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:33,280 Speaker 1: This is a little bit like why police on your 205 00:11:33,280 --> 00:11:36,280 Speaker 1: block should make you feel safer, and if they don't, 206 00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:37,200 Speaker 1: you should ask why. 207 00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:41,520 Speaker 2: I agree? And anybody out there who doesn't want more 208 00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:45,720 Speaker 2: police is probably doing something illegal. And here's a big question. 209 00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:52,360 Speaker 2: Worst case scenario, Trump does all this additional mobilization of 210 00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:55,920 Speaker 2: resources to help try to make DC safer and the 211 00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:59,920 Speaker 2: crime rate stays basically the same. That's the worst case scenario, 212 00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:04,240 Speaker 2: absolute worst case scenario. Has anybody really considered what happens 213 00:12:04,280 --> 00:12:09,320 Speaker 2: if it works? Imagine if Trump brings these resources to 214 00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:13,439 Speaker 2: bear on the district of Columbia and suddenly violent crime 215 00:12:13,559 --> 00:12:17,800 Speaker 2: drops by forty percent. Look at what he did on 216 00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:21,600 Speaker 2: the border, where basically nobody talks about the border. It's 217 00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:25,400 Speaker 2: important sometimes to remember stories that were big, Oh, Trump 218 00:12:25,400 --> 00:12:27,920 Speaker 2: can't be on the ballot, he's not a constitutionally eligible 219 00:12:27,920 --> 00:12:30,960 Speaker 2: to be president. Just vanishes. Nobody even mentions it the border, 220 00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:35,120 Speaker 2: nobody mentions it at all. Has anybody really thought? This 221 00:12:35,160 --> 00:12:37,400 Speaker 2: is why I love the move that Trump is making. 222 00:12:37,640 --> 00:12:42,240 Speaker 2: I don't see a downside. Democrats say, hey, we've got 223 00:12:42,280 --> 00:12:46,319 Speaker 2: too many police. Most people say, well we should. If 224 00:12:46,360 --> 00:12:48,679 Speaker 2: you're upset about too many police, you're probably a criminal. 225 00:12:49,920 --> 00:12:54,280 Speaker 2: The only person who's upset about a drunk driving a 226 00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:57,360 Speaker 2: test check is the person who's driving drunk, right, Like, 227 00:12:57,400 --> 00:12:59,520 Speaker 2: if you're driving, you know you know how the person 228 00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:02,000 Speaker 2: they can catch you because some guys are like uh oh, 229 00:13:02,040 --> 00:13:04,040 Speaker 2: and you turn and go the opposite direction and they 230 00:13:04,080 --> 00:13:06,520 Speaker 2: pull you over. If you see a drunk driving checkpoint, 231 00:13:06,559 --> 00:13:08,840 Speaker 2: it's probably a sign that you may have been drinking. 232 00:13:09,400 --> 00:13:12,280 Speaker 2: The only people upset about drunk driving checkpoints are people 233 00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:14,400 Speaker 2: that might have been drinking. To me, the only people 234 00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:18,360 Speaker 2: upset about more police on the streets are people who 235 00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:21,959 Speaker 2: are actually engaged in criminal behavior. But Buck, what if 236 00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:26,600 Speaker 2: it works? What if in two months we have a 237 00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:30,040 Speaker 2: fifty percent decline in violent crime in DC? What if 238 00:13:30,080 --> 00:13:35,079 Speaker 2: carjacking plummets. What if the number of murders plummet? What 239 00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:41,280 Speaker 2: do democrats do then? I and worst case scenario, nothing changes, 240 00:13:41,640 --> 00:13:44,559 Speaker 2: And the problems are so intractable in DC right now 241 00:13:44,800 --> 00:13:48,000 Speaker 2: that more troops and more police on the ground don't 242 00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:50,480 Speaker 2: impact things. But I just see this as brilliant when 243 00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:53,760 Speaker 2: you write when you analyze risk reward, if the risk 244 00:13:53,880 --> 00:13:56,560 Speaker 2: is zero and the reward is massive, that to me 245 00:13:56,600 --> 00:13:59,440 Speaker 2: seems like something you should do in all facets of life, 246 00:13:59,520 --> 00:14:01,120 Speaker 2: and that to me is this. 247 00:14:02,760 --> 00:14:05,480 Speaker 1: Yeah, and yet they're still going to scream about this 248 00:14:05,640 --> 00:14:07,600 Speaker 1: and say that it is fascism. 249 00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:08,320 Speaker 2: Uh. 250 00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:11,000 Speaker 1: Have you written your will yet or done something as 251 00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:13,960 Speaker 1: important as establishing a trust.

Find it on the iHeartRadio 269 00:15:06,520 --> 00:15:08,800 Speaker 4: app or wherever you get your podcasts. 270 00:15:09,040 --> 00:15:13,120 Speaker 2: President Trump, I believe still en route to Alaska. I 271 00:15:13,120 --> 00:15:15,120 Speaker 2: do not believe he has landed yet. Team, if you'll 272 00:15:15,200 --> 00:15:17,960 Speaker 2: let me know when he officially a lands. Big news, 273 00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:20,920 Speaker 2: of course, his meeting with Vladimir Putin's schedule to begin 274 00:15:21,760 --> 00:15:24,680 Speaker 2: at three point thirty Eastern, shortly after we go off 275 00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:27,760 Speaker 2: the air. We do not know how long that meeting 276 00:15:27,800 --> 00:15:32,440 Speaker 2: will go or what the joint press conference that occurs 277 00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:37,600 Speaker 2: afterwards will end up looking and sounding like. So that 278 00:15:37,680 --> 00:15:40,920 Speaker 2: will obviously dominate the news cycle as we head into 279 00:15:40,960 --> 00:15:44,320 Speaker 2: the weekend. But something that has been a huge part 280 00:15:44,400 --> 00:15:46,680 Speaker 2: of the new cycle prior to the start of this 281 00:15:46,800 --> 00:15:51,320 Speaker 2: week was the Texas redistricting battle. It immediately kind of 282 00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:56,360 Speaker 2: dove underneath the Washington, d c. Rise of troops on 283 00:15:56,400 --> 00:15:59,560 Speaker 2: the streets and an attempt to limit violence which Trump 284 00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:02,320 Speaker 2: put in place on Monday. And again, I think the 285 00:16:02,360 --> 00:16:06,280 Speaker 2: Putin Trump reaction and what comes out of this meeting 286 00:16:06,320 --> 00:16:09,080 Speaker 2: on Friday is certainly probably, I would say, going to 287 00:16:09,200 --> 00:16:12,280 Speaker 2: lead even this show on Monday, because I would assume 288 00:16:12,320 --> 00:16:15,960 Speaker 2: there will be multi days of reaction and fallout from 289 00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:19,640 Speaker 2: whatever this face to face meeting actually brings to bear. 290 00:16:21,040 --> 00:16:25,200 Speaker 2: But he has arrived in Alaska, by the way, So 291 00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:28,040 Speaker 2: just an update there. He is in Alaska and he 292 00:16:28,120 --> 00:16:32,840 Speaker 2: is waiting now presumably to meet with Vladimir Putin going forward, 293 00:16:33,800 --> 00:16:39,800 Speaker 2: so a aspect of that story will continue to follow. 294 00:16:39,840 --> 00:16:42,600 Speaker 2: We'll see if anything other further comes out of that. 295 00:16:42,840 --> 00:16:48,120 Speaker 2: In the meantime, yesterday afternoon, Governor Gavin knew Some announced 296 00:16:48,160 --> 00:16:52,240 Speaker 2: that California is going to try to redistrict yet again, 297 00:16:52,840 --> 00:16:58,920 Speaker 2: in response to Texas potentially adding five Republican seats. Typically 298 00:16:58,960 --> 00:17:03,960 Speaker 2: redistricting happens earlier in the decade. States like California and 299 00:17:04,080 --> 00:17:07,679 Speaker 2: Texas and Illinois sorry California, New York and Illinois that 300 00:17:07,760 --> 00:17:13,040 Speaker 2: are blue states aggressively redistricted. Already, states like Massachusetts have 301 00:17:13,080 --> 00:17:18,840 Speaker 2: eliminated all Democrat congress people. There are almost no Republican 302 00:17:18,880 --> 00:17:23,320 Speaker 2: congressmen from state like Illinois, and the analysis from the 303 00:17:23,320 --> 00:17:27,000 Speaker 2: New York Times shows that so far Democrats have benefited 304 00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:29,880 Speaker 2: the most from redistricting. They are fed up with what 305 00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:33,959 Speaker 2: Texas might do. And now the talk is that Gavin 306 00:17:34,040 --> 00:17:39,119 Speaker 2: Newsom says he's putting redistricting on the ballot this November, 307 00:17:39,600 --> 00:17:43,440 Speaker 2: and that would allow California to cancel out Texas's actions. 308 00:17:43,440 --> 00:17:46,320 Speaker 2: And more. This, of course, is Gavin Newsom attempting to 309 00:17:46,440 --> 00:17:51,320 Speaker 2: interject himself into the national political arena so that he 310 00:17:51,359 --> 00:17:54,399 Speaker 2: can potentially be president in twenty twenty eight. This is 311 00:17:54,520 --> 00:17:57,040 Speaker 2: very easy to see what is going on here. My 312 00:17:57,200 --> 00:18:02,120 Speaker 2: question for you, Buck, I'm not evince that Californians are 313 00:18:02,240 --> 00:18:06,520 Speaker 2: going to show up and vote in massive numbers for 314 00:18:06,720 --> 00:18:10,560 Speaker 2: this redistricting to happen. And some of you can say, Okay, 315 00:18:10,560 --> 00:18:13,480 Speaker 2: well you disagree, the data actually reflects that so far 316 00:18:13,960 --> 00:18:17,680 Speaker 2: about two thirds of Californians, according to polling, do not 317 00:18:17,800 --> 00:18:20,840 Speaker 2: agree with this idea that Gavin Newsom is putting forward. 318 00:18:21,359 --> 00:18:25,639 Speaker 2: And also, some of these ballot referendums in general have 319 00:18:25,840 --> 00:18:30,480 Speaker 2: tended to trend more conservative in nature than many might expect. 320 00:18:30,560 --> 00:18:32,960 Speaker 2: For instance, they've been trying to put back in place 321 00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:38,840 Speaker 2: affirmative action policies and Californians have overwhelmingly said no. Therefore, 322 00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:42,520 Speaker 2: I'm not sure that Gavin Newsom is going to get 323 00:18:42,600 --> 00:18:46,480 Speaker 2: this massive wave of support that he is expecting in 324 00:18:46,560 --> 00:18:49,159 Speaker 2: the event that this actually goes up out as a 325 00:18:49,240 --> 00:18:54,320 Speaker 2: referendum in November. What's your take on California's attempt to 326 00:18:54,400 --> 00:18:58,120 Speaker 2: try to redistrict. And they've already got a huge advantage 327 00:18:58,160 --> 00:19:01,359 Speaker 2: outside of the bounds of what would be expected based 328 00:19:01,359 --> 00:19:05,080 Speaker 2: on the Republican voters already, so they're just going even 329 00:19:05,240 --> 00:19:07,240 Speaker 2: further blue than they've already gone. 330 00:19:07,680 --> 00:19:10,600 Speaker 1: I think it's part of the overall trend we see, 331 00:19:11,040 --> 00:19:15,159 Speaker 1: which is Democrats doing things that will either have minimal 332 00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:18,320 Speaker 1: impact or maybe even have some blowback. But they have 333 00:19:18,359 --> 00:19:20,240 Speaker 1: to look like they aren't just letting Trump have his 334 00:19:20,280 --> 00:19:23,880 Speaker 1: way or letting the Republicans run rough shot over them. 335 00:19:23,960 --> 00:19:26,440 Speaker 1: That's what I mostly see from this. I don't see 336 00:19:26,440 --> 00:19:29,840 Speaker 1: this as likely to and correct me if I'm wrong. 337 00:19:29,960 --> 00:19:32,840 Speaker 1: The redistrict in California, how much more do they think 338 00:19:32,840 --> 00:19:34,560 Speaker 1: they can already squeeze out of it if they were 339 00:19:34,600 --> 00:19:38,000 Speaker 1: to go through this. I think Gavin Newsom is much 340 00:19:38,040 --> 00:19:42,600 Speaker 1: more concerned with the press attention that he gets from 341 00:19:42,600 --> 00:19:45,119 Speaker 1: this and the fact that he just he needs to 342 00:19:45,200 --> 00:19:47,480 Speaker 1: keep his name in his mind. I'm thinking about this 343 00:19:47,560 --> 00:19:50,320 Speaker 1: now if I were Gavin Newsom, he wants to be 344 00:19:50,359 --> 00:19:53,840 Speaker 1: in the headlines. He wants people to be thinking about 345 00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:56,399 Speaker 1: how Gavin Newsom is one of the biggest names in 346 00:19:56,960 --> 00:20:00,760 Speaker 1: Democrat politics because I don't think he views himself as 347 00:20:00,800 --> 00:20:05,359 Speaker 1: having to do very much to be the only real option, 348 00:20:06,119 --> 00:20:12,240 Speaker 1: or rather the most palatable option to the overall Democrat 349 00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:15,280 Speaker 1: base and the Democrat Party. And then the next election, 350 00:20:15,359 --> 00:20:19,040 Speaker 1: which crazily enough, is going to be kicking off in 351 00:20:20,080 --> 00:20:23,760 Speaker 1: a sense in what eighteen months, basically not that far 352 00:20:23,800 --> 00:20:27,159 Speaker 1: off from when real presidential politics starts again. This is 353 00:20:27,760 --> 00:20:30,600 Speaker 1: one of the only things about Trump's second term that 354 00:20:30,640 --> 00:20:32,320 Speaker 1: I think is going to require a lot of adjustment, 355 00:20:32,359 --> 00:20:34,720 Speaker 1: even for his own side, is he doesn't have We're 356 00:20:34,800 --> 00:20:37,200 Speaker 1: used to a president being in office and the perception 357 00:20:37,359 --> 00:20:39,320 Speaker 1: is that they'll have eight years, or at least that's 358 00:20:39,320 --> 00:20:41,320 Speaker 1: what their party wants this time around. 359 00:20:41,359 --> 00:20:42,440 Speaker 2: This is going to move pretty quickly. 360 00:20:42,560 --> 00:20:45,120 Speaker 1: How many seats does Gayvenustam even think they could squeeze 361 00:20:45,119 --> 00:20:48,560 Speaker 1: out if they did more redistricting? I mean, how many 362 00:20:48,560 --> 00:20:50,920 Speaker 1: more drops of juice can they get from the lemon here? 363 00:20:51,560 --> 00:20:56,920 Speaker 2: Well, I think that's a fantastic question, because again, around 364 00:20:57,000 --> 00:21:00,679 Speaker 2: forty percent of Californians vote Republican. And I know we 365 00:21:00,800 --> 00:21:03,960 Speaker 2: have this idea painting with a broad brush red state, 366 00:21:04,040 --> 00:21:08,879 Speaker 2: blue state, but if you look geographically at California, it 367 00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:14,360 Speaker 2: actually becomes somewhat difficult to alienate some of these Republican 368 00:21:14,440 --> 00:21:20,240 Speaker 2: districts because huge swaths of California are actually ruby red. 369 00:21:20,600 --> 00:21:23,879 Speaker 2: Now they think they can get five. That's the number here. 370 00:21:23,920 --> 00:21:26,120 Speaker 2: They think they can get five. They're basically trying to 371 00:21:26,200 --> 00:21:29,000 Speaker 2: cancel out what Texas is doing. But see, this is 372 00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:31,600 Speaker 2: why it's it's a media it's a media play more 373 00:21:31,600 --> 00:21:35,360 Speaker 2: than anything else. It's Texas is you know, the. 374 00:21:36,840 --> 00:21:39,000 Speaker 1: You know, Texas and Florida go back and forth on this, 375 00:21:39,040 --> 00:21:40,400 Speaker 1: but Texas is a bigger state. 376 00:21:41,119 --> 00:21:42,879 Speaker 2: And you know, sorry, I have a little loyalty to 377 00:21:42,920 --> 00:21:43,560 Speaker 2: Florida over here. 378 00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:46,439 Speaker 1: But Texas a great state and a red state and 379 00:21:46,480 --> 00:21:48,040 Speaker 1: really still I think for a lot of people the 380 00:21:48,080 --> 00:21:52,240 Speaker 1: red heartland, and you know, it is our California, although 381 00:21:52,280 --> 00:21:55,359 Speaker 1: maybe we should think of it as it is their Texas. 382 00:21:55,400 --> 00:21:58,639 Speaker 1: And they're viewing this as Gavin Newsom is viewing this 383 00:21:58,800 --> 00:22:02,480 Speaker 1: as this this is how I show that we're not 384 00:22:02,560 --> 00:22:04,720 Speaker 1: just gonna lay down and let this happen, right. 385 00:22:04,560 --> 00:22:07,720 Speaker 2: We're gonna do more here in California. Now. It's funny. 386 00:22:07,760 --> 00:22:10,240 Speaker 1: Of course, the irony is that this undermines the argument 387 00:22:10,240 --> 00:22:13,720 Speaker 1: that's being made about Texas. So they're saying, you know, 388 00:22:13,800 --> 00:22:16,080 Speaker 1: it's like they're saying, you know, the refs are paid off. 389 00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:19,240 Speaker 1: And then they're turning around saying, and we're paying off 390 00:22:19,240 --> 00:22:21,720 Speaker 1: the refs in this other game because we're not gonna 391 00:22:21,920 --> 00:22:23,840 Speaker 1: let the refs get paid off in this game as well. 392 00:22:24,080 --> 00:22:25,840 Speaker 2: You're saying that paying off refs is bad. 393 00:22:26,840 --> 00:22:29,080 Speaker 1: This is the argument. Is not that you do it 394 00:22:29,080 --> 00:22:31,160 Speaker 1: and we don't do it. That's not what Democrats are saying. 395 00:22:31,440 --> 00:22:34,640 Speaker 1: Democrats make this claim that jerry mandering is bad. Yes, 396 00:22:34,720 --> 00:22:36,800 Speaker 1: but it's only jerry mandering when the other guys do it. 397 00:22:37,240 --> 00:22:40,120 Speaker 1: So this is why the whole thing is preposterous. This 398 00:22:40,200 --> 00:22:43,560 Speaker 1: is why sometimes I just throw my hands up. With politics. 399 00:22:44,720 --> 00:22:47,320 Speaker 2: It is almost impossible to point to something that one 400 00:22:47,400 --> 00:22:50,640 Speaker 2: side does that the other side never does. It is 401 00:22:51,440 --> 00:22:54,920 Speaker 2: it is, that is the game. And so what Texas 402 00:22:55,000 --> 00:23:00,240 Speaker 2: is doing is reacting later to what Democrats have already done. 403 00:23:00,280 --> 00:23:03,480 Speaker 2: And again I point to the New York Times. Basically, 404 00:23:03,640 --> 00:23:07,240 Speaker 2: if we were being one hundred percent reflective of the 405 00:23:07,280 --> 00:23:11,679 Speaker 2: will of the voter, the math would directly correspond to 406 00:23:11,800 --> 00:23:16,240 Speaker 2: a nationwide popular vote when it comes to seats in 407 00:23:16,280 --> 00:23:20,080 Speaker 2: the House of Representatives. So strip away the four hundred 408 00:23:20,080 --> 00:23:23,880 Speaker 2: and thirty five electoral votes, strip away straight state boundaries, 409 00:23:24,800 --> 00:23:30,600 Speaker 2: you would see that the percentages should roughly reflect what 410 00:23:30,760 --> 00:23:36,639 Speaker 2: the actual voter will is. In twenty twenty two, Republicans 411 00:23:36,720 --> 00:23:41,199 Speaker 2: won the nationwide popular vote in that midterm election, and 412 00:23:41,320 --> 00:23:45,919 Speaker 2: Democrats did better in terms of congressional seats than they 413 00:23:45,960 --> 00:23:48,600 Speaker 2: would have based on the nationwide vote. And we talked 414 00:23:48,600 --> 00:23:51,199 Speaker 2: about this. We expected a red wave, red tsunami. You 415 00:23:51,240 --> 00:23:53,960 Speaker 2: got it in New York, you got it in Florida. 416 00:23:54,440 --> 00:23:56,680 Speaker 2: It petered out as it went across the country. It 417 00:23:56,720 --> 00:23:59,080 Speaker 2: didn't end up existing to a certain extent. New York 418 00:23:59,119 --> 00:24:00,920 Speaker 2: Times went and looked and they said, well, that's because 419 00:24:00,960 --> 00:24:04,639 Speaker 2: Democrats have been really successful in their redistricting and drawing 420 00:24:04,680 --> 00:24:08,680 Speaker 2: the line's efforts. Twenty twenty four, Republicans won the House 421 00:24:08,720 --> 00:24:12,240 Speaker 2: again and won the nationwide popular vote for President of 422 00:24:12,280 --> 00:24:17,280 Speaker 2: the United States, and Democrats actually did better in terms 423 00:24:17,320 --> 00:24:20,600 Speaker 2: of the majority of the minority party that they got 424 00:24:20,640 --> 00:24:23,480 Speaker 2: in the House. My point on this is, if the 425 00:24:23,480 --> 00:24:25,639 Speaker 2: New York Times is pointing out they've got an advantage, 426 00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:28,800 Speaker 2: then they've got an advantage. And here is the huge 427 00:24:28,840 --> 00:24:32,040 Speaker 2: structural If we really want to have a conversation about 428 00:24:32,119 --> 00:24:35,480 Speaker 2: redistricting and the four hundred and thirty five congressional seats, 429 00:24:36,880 --> 00:24:43,080 Speaker 2: Democrats by letting in ten million illegals continue to benefit 430 00:24:43,280 --> 00:24:49,280 Speaker 2: immensely from illegal immigration populations because they're counted for purposes 431 00:24:49,320 --> 00:24:54,080 Speaker 2: of congressional seat allocation. So a state like California, if 432 00:24:54,119 --> 00:24:57,639 Speaker 2: they didn't have millions of illegal immigrants, would actually have 433 00:24:57,760 --> 00:25:02,040 Speaker 2: lost congressional seats. Illinois, same way, New York, same way. 434 00:25:02,960 --> 00:25:06,920 Speaker 2: If you want to talk about the big, transformative, unfair 435 00:25:06,960 --> 00:25:11,720 Speaker 2: political advantage that Democrats have from a districting perspective, it's 436 00:25:11,800 --> 00:25:15,639 Speaker 2: that they count twenty million illegals. At least Tom Holman 437 00:25:15,720 --> 00:25:17,840 Speaker 2: tells me there's twenty million, So I'm using his number. 438 00:25:17,920 --> 00:25:21,240 Speaker 2: Some of you like a bigger number. Fuck. They count 439 00:25:21,280 --> 00:25:24,560 Speaker 2: all of these people that are overwhelmingly clustered in blue 440 00:25:24,560 --> 00:25:28,440 Speaker 2: cities in blue states, and that allows them to take 441 00:25:28,480 --> 00:25:33,280 Speaker 2: an additional ten to fifteen seats, which would one hundred 442 00:25:33,359 --> 00:25:36,960 Speaker 2: percent be likely to swing the difference probably in twenty 443 00:25:37,119 --> 00:25:39,399 Speaker 2: twenty six if they were to take back the House. 444 00:25:39,840 --> 00:25:42,639 Speaker 2: So that is the big structural advantage. They're not the 445 00:25:42,720 --> 00:25:48,320 Speaker 2: victims here. They actually benefit by jerrymandering and redistricting, to 446 00:25:48,400 --> 00:25:50,679 Speaker 2: say nothing of the fact that they actually screwed up 447 00:25:50,720 --> 00:25:55,880 Speaker 2: the twenty twenty census and misallocated there in a substantial way, 448 00:25:55,920 --> 00:25:58,440 Speaker 2: which Democrats are going to benefit from in twenty six 449 00:25:58,520 --> 00:26:01,840 Speaker 2: and twenty eight. So this is like the bank robber 450 00:26:01,880 --> 00:26:04,600 Speaker 2: claiming that they're the good guy. 451 00:26:04,720 --> 00:26:07,360 Speaker 1: Yes, and they're gonna keep doing it because their other 452 00:26:07,520 --> 00:26:10,920 Speaker 1: argument is what they don't really have one, So they 453 00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:14,760 Speaker 1: just have to hope that they can make arguments that 454 00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:18,320 Speaker 1: are self refuting but are full of a lot of emotion, 455 00:26:18,480 --> 00:26:21,520 Speaker 1: and a lot of Republicans bad or Trump bad, really 456 00:26:21,520 --> 00:26:24,320 Speaker 1: Trump Republicans the same. You know, Trump is a stand 457 00:26:24,359 --> 00:26:26,639 Speaker 1: in for all Republicans, and I think that Trump is 458 00:26:26,680 --> 00:26:30,160 Speaker 1: more of a mobilizer of Democrat rage than anything else. 459 00:26:30,440 --> 00:26:33,159 Speaker 1: So even though it's the Texas this is the thing, 460 00:26:33,240 --> 00:26:37,480 Speaker 1: is the Texas state legislature that's handling this issue, it's 461 00:26:37,480 --> 00:26:40,680 Speaker 1: Trump's fault. Right, You've noticed that it's anything that's bad 462 00:26:40,720 --> 00:26:43,680 Speaker 1: that Republicans do anywhere. To get Democrats to pay attention, 463 00:26:44,200 --> 00:26:46,359 Speaker 1: they have to make it seem like Donald Trump has 464 00:26:46,440 --> 00:26:48,440 Speaker 1: rolled his sleeves up and is in the back room 465 00:26:48,960 --> 00:26:52,480 Speaker 1: pulling all of the strings and doing everything necessary to 466 00:26:52,760 --> 00:26:53,760 Speaker 1: get this thing forward. 467 00:26:54,240 --> 00:26:56,520 Speaker 2: I'm laughing a little bit because I'm just thinking, because 468 00:26:56,520 --> 00:26:59,240 Speaker 2: Trump is the ultimate villain, what are all those people 469 00:26:59,240 --> 00:27:01,680 Speaker 2: with Ukraine for in their bio, gonna do if Trump 470 00:27:01,720 --> 00:27:07,440 Speaker 2: actually gets peace in Ukraine. I do think that the 471 00:27:07,240 --> 00:27:10,720 Speaker 2: the the cognitive dissonance of Trump bringing peace to the world, 472 00:27:10,760 --> 00:27:12,560 Speaker 2: they expect them to bring World War three. 473 00:27:13,200 --> 00:27:15,199 Speaker 1: If we played the Hillary Clinton can I tell you, 474 00:27:15,200 --> 00:27:16,760 Speaker 1: Can I tell you what I think they'll do. You're 475 00:27:16,880 --> 00:27:19,760 Speaker 1: again you're you're asking the rational question, yes, which is 476 00:27:19,800 --> 00:27:24,160 Speaker 1: if Trump, if Trump has clear success in this negotiation, 477 00:27:24,600 --> 00:27:28,359 Speaker 1: if the pressure on Russian oil got putin to the table, 478 00:27:28,480 --> 00:27:33,960 Speaker 1: cease fire happens. And I think laying this out. Laying 479 00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:39,000 Speaker 1: this out is you know important now, because they're gonna move. 480 00:27:39,040 --> 00:27:41,879 Speaker 1: They're gonna change up everything, right, They're gonna change up 481 00:27:41,880 --> 00:27:45,119 Speaker 1: the situation no matter what, because they don't want to 482 00:27:45,160 --> 00:27:47,359 Speaker 1: give Trump the credit for it. But I think that 483 00:27:47,480 --> 00:27:49,879 Speaker 1: if he does get an irrefutable win, like if we 484 00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:52,040 Speaker 1: lay out what the win looks like, he gets the win, 485 00:27:52,720 --> 00:27:55,600 Speaker 1: what they will say is, well, it was really all Zelenski. 486 00:27:56,680 --> 00:27:59,439 Speaker 1: I think that's probably the move. That Zelenski is the 487 00:27:59,480 --> 00:28:02,399 Speaker 1: one they just they shift the focus to he was 488 00:28:02,480 --> 00:28:05,280 Speaker 1: doing and remember, look, is that what happened? Should the 489 00:28:05,320 --> 00:28:08,800 Speaker 1: lens Ga get credit for standing up for Russian aggression? Sure, yeah, absolutely, 490 00:28:09,320 --> 00:28:12,520 Speaker 1: But they'll just use the focus shift, so they'll make 491 00:28:12,560 --> 00:28:14,960 Speaker 1: it seem like Trump was almost like a waiter bringing 492 00:28:14,960 --> 00:28:17,359 Speaker 1: them bottles of Perier during the negotiation. 493 00:28:17,520 --> 00:28:20,080 Speaker 2: I think that's a possibility to do. I think they'll 494 00:28:20,080 --> 00:28:24,560 Speaker 2: claim that the settlement actually favors Putin and Trump did 495 00:28:24,600 --> 00:28:28,119 Speaker 2: it because he's a Russian stooge. I think they'll just 496 00:28:28,160 --> 00:28:31,080 Speaker 2: pretend Ukraine never happened, they never had the bios, and 497 00:28:31,160 --> 00:28:34,399 Speaker 2: I think their brains are broken. They will say, oh, 498 00:28:34,600 --> 00:28:37,840 Speaker 2: of course Putin negotiated with Trump, That's what you would 499 00:28:37,880 --> 00:28:41,560 Speaker 2: expect a Russian asset to do, and he sold Ukraine 500 00:28:41,600 --> 00:28:45,560 Speaker 2: down the river and Ukraine didn't have options otherwise. That's 501 00:28:45,600 --> 00:28:47,240 Speaker 2: probably where I think they're going to have to go, 502 00:28:47,440 --> 00:28:51,800 Speaker 2: because otherwise they would have to acknowledge that their chosen leader, 503 00:28:51,880 --> 00:28:56,800 Speaker 2: Biden was an impotent failure who allowed Ukraine to be invaded, 504 00:28:56,920 --> 00:28:58,800 Speaker 2: and Trump was the one who protected them, and their 505 00:28:58,800 --> 00:29:01,600 Speaker 2: brains won't allow them to do it. Speaking of protection, 506 00:29:01,720 --> 00:29:04,040 Speaker 2: a lot of you out there right now kids are 507 00:29:04,040 --> 00:29:06,200 Speaker 2: going back to school.

Maybe you want to provide them 516 00:29:29,160 --> 00:29:30,680 Speaker 2: a little bit of protection, but you want it to 517 00:29:30,680 --> 00:29:34,040 Speaker 2: be non lethal because everybody's got friends coming in at 518 00:29:34,080 --> 00:29:37,000 Speaker 2: all hours in college towns. When your kids going out 519 00:29:37,040 --> 00:29:39,760 Speaker 2: living on their own, probably not living in great neighborhoods 520 00:29:39,760 --> 00:29:42,840 Speaker 2: those first few years.

So on the 546 00:31:04,200 --> 00:31:08,120 Speaker 2: gambling markets there is a two percent chance that the 547 00:31:08,160 --> 00:31:11,840 Speaker 2: immediate cease fire comes to pass. So for those of 548 00:31:11,880 --> 00:31:13,200 Speaker 2: you out there have not been paying a lot of 549 00:31:13,240 --> 00:31:17,720 Speaker 2: attention to the negotiation elements associated with Ukraine and Russia, 550 00:31:18,480 --> 00:31:22,280 Speaker 2: Ukraine's position has been, in order to actually negotiate an 551 00:31:22,320 --> 00:31:27,000 Speaker 2: into the war, we need to have a guaranteed cease 552 00:31:27,040 --> 00:31:29,840 Speaker 2: fire in place. Both sides stop firing, put down their arms, 553 00:31:29,880 --> 00:31:33,040 Speaker 2: and then the negotiation starts. Here's a question for you, Buck, 554 00:31:34,200 --> 00:31:36,200 Speaker 2: because I think this is the thing that Ukraine is 555 00:31:36,240 --> 00:31:38,560 Speaker 2: going to most care about. They're going to have to 556 00:31:38,560 --> 00:31:40,920 Speaker 2: give up some territory. I don't think there's any doubt 557 00:31:40,960 --> 00:31:44,440 Speaker 2: about that. Where exactly that territory line is will be 558 00:31:44,520 --> 00:31:49,080 Speaker 2: negotiated extensively. What kind of guarantees, if any, should the 559 00:31:49,200 --> 00:31:54,840 Speaker 2: United States make to Ukraine when it comes to providing 560 00:31:54,880 --> 00:31:57,760 Speaker 2: security for them going forward? We know the mineral Rights 561 00:31:57,800 --> 00:32:02,200 Speaker 2: deal is there. Ukraine's biggest concern is Russia will agree 562 00:32:02,200 --> 00:32:05,440 Speaker 2: to a ceasefire and a negotiated settlement here, and then 563 00:32:05,480 --> 00:32:08,480 Speaker 2: they'll just invade again somewhere down the line, probably after 564 00:32:08,560 --> 00:32:10,760 Speaker 2: Trump is out of office, maybe when we get another 565 00:32:10,840 --> 00:32:14,000 Speaker 2: weak Democrat in office that putin feels like he can exploit. 566 00:32:14,840 --> 00:32:18,920 Speaker 2: To What extent should America provide security guarantees over and 567 00:32:18,960 --> 00:32:22,120 Speaker 2: above the mineral Rights agreement that has already been put 568 00:32:22,160 --> 00:32:26,120 Speaker 2: in place. Does that make you nervous? Ukraine obviously wants NATO. 569 00:32:26,760 --> 00:32:29,280 Speaker 2: Russia is very opposed to Ukraine being allowed to be 570 00:32:29,360 --> 00:32:32,680 Speaker 2: in NATO, which would provide more of the European security guarantee. 571 00:32:33,480 --> 00:32:38,880 Speaker 2: What American involvement should there be, if any, in negotiating 572 00:32:38,920 --> 00:32:43,440 Speaker 2: a ceasefire not only for this situation, but to allay 573 00:32:43,600 --> 00:32:47,320 Speaker 2: Ukrainian concerns that Putin will just invade again in another 574 00:32:47,360 --> 00:32:48,000 Speaker 2: couple of years. 575 00:32:49,720 --> 00:32:53,840 Speaker 1: I think it's going to be economic and materiel support. 576 00:32:54,360 --> 00:32:57,400 Speaker 1: But you know, we can't get into a situation where 577 00:32:57,680 --> 00:33:01,520 Speaker 1: we have some tripwire for US military. Basically we can't 578 00:33:01,520 --> 00:33:05,160 Speaker 1: offer them, which really goes to the heart of a 579 00:33:05,200 --> 00:33:09,000 Speaker 1: lot of the initial conflict here, which is membership in 580 00:33:09,080 --> 00:33:12,320 Speaker 1: NATO an Article five protection. Can't do that, I mean, 581 00:33:12,320 --> 00:33:16,160 Speaker 1: that would destroy the If Putin even thought that that 582 00:33:16,240 --> 00:33:18,400 Speaker 1: was something we were going to ask or demand, there 583 00:33:18,400 --> 00:33:19,719 Speaker 1: would be no negotiation at all. 584 00:33:19,760 --> 00:33:20,840 Speaker 2: Right, that's a total. 585 00:33:20,560 --> 00:33:23,280 Speaker 1: Red line for him, and so getting to that through 586 00:33:23,360 --> 00:33:26,120 Speaker 1: another through other means, I think is just as much 587 00:33:26,160 --> 00:33:28,600 Speaker 1: of a red line. So how do we guarantee it? 588 00:33:28,640 --> 00:33:32,120 Speaker 1: We say, you know, one, Clay, I think we probably 589 00:33:32,200 --> 00:33:35,680 Speaker 1: end up saying in new guarantees in life. And second 590 00:33:35,760 --> 00:33:39,440 Speaker 1: we say that there'll be economic consequences and pressure and 591 00:33:39,480 --> 00:33:40,680 Speaker 1: sanctions and things like that. 592 00:33:40,760 --> 00:33:42,400 Speaker 2: But unless we. 593 00:33:42,320 --> 00:33:45,000 Speaker 1: Want to start having our planes blow up Russians and 594 00:33:45,040 --> 00:33:50,320 Speaker 1: our boys in trenches, you know, having these little anti 595 00:33:51,320 --> 00:33:54,040 Speaker 1: personnel drones flying at people, which we don't want, by 596 00:33:54,080 --> 00:33:56,000 Speaker 1: the way, to be very clear, it completely oppose this. 597 00:33:57,000 --> 00:33:58,840 Speaker 1: There are limits to what we can do, right, this 598 00:33:58,920 --> 00:34:00,920 Speaker 1: is the thing. We're not willing to go to war. 599 00:34:00,960 --> 00:34:03,480 Speaker 1: We're not willing to fight a war on behalf of Ukraine. 600 00:34:03,840 --> 00:34:06,600 Speaker 1: So our guarantee of whatever the settlement is is going 601 00:34:06,680 --> 00:34:09,000 Speaker 1: to have to be something along the lines of We'll 602 00:34:09,000 --> 00:34:12,279 Speaker 1: give you a lot of guns, weapons and money and 603 00:34:12,320 --> 00:34:14,839 Speaker 1: will be very mad at Russia, or we're not rolling 604 00:34:14,920 --> 00:34:16,760 Speaker 1: in like the cavalry to clean up the mess. 605 00:34:17,560 --> 00:34:20,439 Speaker 2: Here's another aspect of this that I think is significant, 606 00:34:20,520 --> 00:34:24,719 Speaker 2: and this is where the intelligence agencies would actually be useful. Unfortunately, 607 00:34:24,800 --> 00:34:28,200 Speaker 2: I'm sure there's forty eight different explanations of this question 608 00:34:28,480 --> 00:34:31,520 Speaker 2: or analysis of this question. How many more years is 609 00:34:31,560 --> 00:34:34,719 Speaker 2: Putin going to have control of Russia? How healthy is 610 00:34:34,760 --> 00:34:38,799 Speaker 2: he actually because one of the downsides of any negotiation 611 00:34:38,920 --> 00:34:42,399 Speaker 2: between Trump and Putin is, unfortunately we've only got Trump 612 00:34:42,440 --> 00:34:44,360 Speaker 2: for about three and a half more years as president 613 00:34:44,360 --> 00:34:46,680 Speaker 2: of the United States. Now, hopefully he's followed up by 614 00:34:46,719 --> 00:34:50,760 Speaker 2: someone who is of a Trumpian ilk and not someone 615 00:34:50,800 --> 00:34:54,200 Speaker 2: who is like Joe Biden. But Putin can play the 616 00:34:54,280 --> 00:34:57,759 Speaker 2: long game because he's in a position of power, presumably 617 00:34:57,840 --> 00:35:01,000 Speaker 2: maybe for another generation. What is Putin sixty eight, seventy 618 00:35:01,080 --> 00:35:04,520 Speaker 2: years old, something like that. I think I would think 619 00:35:04,520 --> 00:35:07,080 Speaker 2: he probably has another decade again, you don't ever know 620 00:35:07,200 --> 00:35:11,839 Speaker 2: about health, maybe a generation of leadership, so he can 621 00:35:11,920 --> 00:35:15,839 Speaker 2: afford to play the long game and presume that at 622 00:35:15,880 --> 00:35:18,480 Speaker 2: some point in time there's going to be another American 623 00:35:18,520 --> 00:35:21,000 Speaker 2: president and maybe that president's going to be weak like 624 00:35:21,040 --> 00:35:23,880 Speaker 2: Biden was. Because I don't think it's any coincidence that 625 00:35:23,920 --> 00:35:26,960 Speaker 2: Putin waited until Biden was in office to invade Ukraine, 626 00:35:27,360 --> 00:35:29,640 Speaker 2: just like I don't think it's any coincidence that Gaza, 627 00:35:30,440 --> 00:35:35,280 Speaker 2: the Hamas occupants of inside of Gaza went after Israel 628 00:35:35,640 --> 00:35:38,120 Speaker 2: while Biden was in office either. I think they knew 629 00:35:38,200 --> 00:35:40,399 Speaker 2: weakness when they saw it. I think they were right 630 00:35:40,520 --> 00:35:45,040 Speaker 2: to strategically take advantage of the Biden administration's weakness and 631 00:35:45,160 --> 00:35:49,360 Speaker 2: effeckless inability to protect us and those around the world. 632 00:35:51,080 --> 00:35:54,680 Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that my expectations for this, just to 633 00:35:54,719 --> 00:35:59,120 Speaker 1: be very clear, are pretty low. I think that it's 634 00:35:59,200 --> 00:36:03,760 Speaker 1: very likely that you'll see is some desire on both 635 00:36:03,800 --> 00:36:08,680 Speaker 1: sides to suggest there's progress, which is completely understandable, certainly 636 00:36:08,719 --> 00:36:11,080 Speaker 1: on the side of Trump, because Trump really does want progress. 637 00:36:11,280 --> 00:36:15,399 Speaker 1: We want this thing over with, right, There's no part 638 00:36:15,440 --> 00:36:17,520 Speaker 1: of Trump, there's no part of Maga. I really think 639 00:36:17,560 --> 00:36:21,880 Speaker 1: there's no part of most of the Republican Party. You know, 640 00:36:21,920 --> 00:36:25,719 Speaker 1: Democrats on this one they want very clearly. Isn't weird 641 00:36:25,760 --> 00:36:28,319 Speaker 1: how this has become a partisan thing too? Yes, it 642 00:36:28,360 --> 00:36:34,120 Speaker 1: really shouldn't be partisan because you're getting beyond the normal 643 00:36:34,640 --> 00:36:37,400 Speaker 1: party lines here other than what Trump has said about 644 00:36:37,400 --> 00:36:39,920 Speaker 1: it and what Biden has said about it. You know, 645 00:36:39,960 --> 00:36:42,400 Speaker 1: because Democrats are generally like to think of themselves, at 646 00:36:42,480 --> 00:36:44,400 Speaker 1: least as anti war of thows, we know that's not true. 647 00:36:44,719 --> 00:36:46,719 Speaker 1: They just tend to be more interested in wars that 648 00:36:46,760 --> 00:36:49,640 Speaker 1: have no benefit to the American people whatsoever, but make 649 00:36:49,680 --> 00:36:53,680 Speaker 1: them feel good about themselves. Now, Republicans, I'm not saying, 650 00:36:53,760 --> 00:36:55,000 Speaker 1: have done a great job. You go back to the 651 00:36:55,000 --> 00:36:58,720 Speaker 1: Bush administration with why and how they're you know, running 652 00:36:58,800 --> 00:37:02,759 Speaker 1: running the war machine. But that's exactly the point, though, 653 00:37:02,800 --> 00:37:06,960 Speaker 1: is that you can see these things usually outside of 654 00:37:07,200 --> 00:37:10,360 Speaker 1: or a wise enough person can see these things outside 655 00:37:10,400 --> 00:37:13,680 Speaker 1: of just a straight partisan lens. But the Ukraine flag 656 00:37:13,719 --> 00:37:16,600 Speaker 1: thing was just it was almost comedic for a while there, 657 00:37:16,719 --> 00:37:18,560 Speaker 1: where you had all these people who were just switching 658 00:37:18,600 --> 00:37:23,839 Speaker 1: out their Fauci syringes and masks for Ukraine flags all 659 00:37:23,840 --> 00:37:24,600 Speaker 1: over social media. 660 00:37:24,640 --> 00:37:26,320 Speaker 2: And this is real. You could see this happening. 661 00:37:26,400 --> 00:37:29,000 Speaker 1: Sometimes they have them both at the same time as 662 00:37:29,040 --> 00:37:32,799 Speaker 1: part of the transition. But we should just all want 663 00:37:32,840 --> 00:37:35,439 Speaker 1: this thing to end as quickly as possible. There's zero 664 00:37:35,600 --> 00:37:40,239 Speaker 1: benefit to America of this continuing. And this is what 665 00:37:40,280 --> 00:37:43,840 Speaker 1: I've said all along too. There's no way that Ukraine 666 00:37:43,840 --> 00:37:46,759 Speaker 1: can win, meaning kick Russia out of everywhere, so it's 667 00:37:46,800 --> 00:37:48,719 Speaker 1: going to have to give up some stuff. The question 668 00:37:48,800 --> 00:37:50,480 Speaker 1: is what it's going to have to give up. So 669 00:37:50,600 --> 00:37:52,920 Speaker 1: negotiation is the only way this ends, because the idea 670 00:37:52,960 --> 00:37:56,239 Speaker 1: that Russia is going to just lose is not a. 671 00:37:56,200 --> 00:37:58,879 Speaker 2: Real idea at all. But you got you know, was. 672 00:37:58,800 --> 00:38:01,319 Speaker 1: A Pelosi said this, this is, this goes to this 673 00:38:01,360 --> 00:38:04,280 Speaker 1: has cut fifteen guys. Play this for a second. They're 674 00:38:04,440 --> 00:38:08,759 Speaker 1: fighting for our democracy. This is Nancy Pelosi play it. 675 00:38:08,920 --> 00:38:13,359 Speaker 7: We want that people of Ukraine, as we command them 676 00:38:13,360 --> 00:38:18,000 Speaker 7: for fighting for democracy, and in fighting for their democracy too, 677 00:38:18,400 --> 00:38:21,520 Speaker 7: their fighting for ours as well. They are fighting to 678 00:38:21,640 --> 00:38:23,480 Speaker 7: democracy writ large. 679 00:38:24,640 --> 00:38:28,960 Speaker 2: This is why I think it's so amazing to contemplate 680 00:38:29,600 --> 00:38:35,160 Speaker 2: if Trump actually gets peace and Vladimir Zolinsky comes out 681 00:38:35,320 --> 00:38:39,080 Speaker 2: Vladimir Putin. The Zolensky and Putin press conferences, presumably Trump 682 00:38:39,120 --> 00:38:42,480 Speaker 2: would be involved with one in Ukraine and one in Russia. 683 00:38:42,600 --> 00:38:44,960 Speaker 2: I can't imagine they would have a joint press conference, 684 00:38:44,960 --> 00:38:48,239 Speaker 2: although maybe they would. But if Zolensky comes out and 685 00:38:48,239 --> 00:38:52,120 Speaker 2: says President Trump was instrumental in bringing peace to Europe, 686 00:38:52,200 --> 00:38:54,920 Speaker 2: we could not have done this without him. What in 687 00:38:54,960 --> 00:38:57,799 Speaker 2: the world are all the Ukraine bioflag people going to do. 688 00:38:58,640 --> 00:39:01,080 Speaker 2: I don't even know what flag they're going to put 689 00:39:01,120 --> 00:39:04,160 Speaker 2: up next. They can't wear masks now because they're concerned 690 00:39:04,280 --> 00:39:07,520 Speaker 2: Ice is wearing masks, after wearing masks themselves for years. 691 00:39:07,880 --> 00:39:10,360 Speaker 2: They can't fly the Ukraine flag. They can't fly the 692 00:39:10,360 --> 00:39:13,560 Speaker 2: American flag because it's racist. I don't even know of 693 00:39:13,680 --> 00:39:16,040 Speaker 2: the Palestine flag, I guess. But what if Trump brings 694 00:39:16,080 --> 00:39:19,680 Speaker 2: peace and gods it to They're running out of things 695 00:39:19,719 --> 00:39:23,400 Speaker 2: they can stand on, and I think it's funny, but 696 00:39:23,520 --> 00:39:26,000 Speaker 2: I do think it goes to the essence of the 697 00:39:26,000 --> 00:39:30,960 Speaker 2: Democrat Party. I can tell you pretty simply what someone 698 00:39:30,960 --> 00:39:33,920 Speaker 2: who voted for Trump believes. America is the greatest country 699 00:39:33,920 --> 00:39:35,719 Speaker 2: in the history of the world, and we can be 700 00:39:35,880 --> 00:39:37,839 Speaker 2: even better than we have been in the past. I mean, 701 00:39:37,840 --> 00:39:39,720 Speaker 2: that's a story and a sentence for what a Trump 702 00:39:39,760 --> 00:39:44,359 Speaker 2: voter would believe. What does a Democrat believe? What does 703 00:39:44,400 --> 00:39:46,040 Speaker 2: the party? You asked this question? I think it's such 704 00:39:46,040 --> 00:39:48,359 Speaker 2: a good question because I think it goes to the 705 00:39:48,480 --> 00:39:52,640 Speaker 2: essence all the Democrat believes is the opposite of whatever 706 00:39:52,680 --> 00:39:56,359 Speaker 2: Trump says. That's not actually a foundational party, because what 707 00:39:56,400 --> 00:39:58,960 Speaker 2: we're seeing here is a lot of what Trump says 708 00:39:59,120 --> 00:40:02,760 Speaker 2: is postpart meaning Trump's supposed to supposed to more murder 709 00:40:02,800 --> 00:40:05,880 Speaker 2: in VC, Democrats are now aligned against it. Trump is 710 00:40:05,920 --> 00:40:10,920 Speaker 2: opposed to the war in Ukraine, continuing, He's painting Democrats 711 00:40:10,960 --> 00:40:14,960 Speaker 2: into an incredibly tiny corner. Because when you make your 712 00:40:15,120 --> 00:40:18,600 Speaker 2: entire party predicated on opposing Trump, what if Trump is 713 00:40:18,640 --> 00:40:20,759 Speaker 2: doing as he is now a lot of things that 714 00:40:20,800 --> 00:40:24,560 Speaker 2: are very popular and aren't directly connected to traditional notions 715 00:40:24,560 --> 00:40:25,560 Speaker 2: of political parties. 716 00:40:25,800 --> 00:40:28,400 Speaker 1: Well, I think it also it is a reminder of 717 00:40:28,640 --> 00:40:32,520 Speaker 1: what the mindset became openly at the Washington Post in 718 00:40:32,600 --> 00:40:36,440 Speaker 1: Trump's first term, where the way that they try to 719 00:40:36,480 --> 00:40:41,680 Speaker 1: hold on to were a news organization that objectively reports 720 00:40:41,840 --> 00:40:46,800 Speaker 1: the truth, but everything we say and do is geared 721 00:40:46,840 --> 00:40:51,840 Speaker 1: toward attacking Trump is that whatever is true is inherently 722 00:40:52,160 --> 00:40:54,239 Speaker 1: anti Trump. And I want to be clear, if that 723 00:40:54,520 --> 00:40:58,080 Speaker 1: was their philosophy, I mean this was You can hear 724 00:40:58,160 --> 00:41:02,200 Speaker 1: people writers, people the Washington Post would say this that 725 00:41:02,280 --> 00:41:05,680 Speaker 1: the problem, the roots of anti trump Ism in the 726 00:41:05,760 --> 00:41:10,440 Speaker 1: reporting were directly from the fact that all truth truth 727 00:41:10,520 --> 00:41:13,000 Speaker 1: must be anti Trump because he's so bad. But Clay, 728 00:41:13,000 --> 00:41:16,319 Speaker 1: what you're raising here is, well that first of all, 729 00:41:16,320 --> 00:41:18,040 Speaker 1: that that's obviously an insane belief. But just put this 730 00:41:18,080 --> 00:41:21,439 Speaker 1: aside for a second. What then happens Whenever Trump does 731 00:41:21,480 --> 00:41:24,920 Speaker 1: something good, if you're unwilling to tell the truth about it, 732 00:41:24,960 --> 00:41:28,680 Speaker 1: you have to lie. So you have no room to 733 00:41:28,719 --> 00:41:31,600 Speaker 1: go with right, if everything that Trump does, if all 734 00:41:31,719 --> 00:41:35,320 Speaker 1: truth is bad for Trump, and Trump does a good thing, 735 00:41:35,600 --> 00:41:37,720 Speaker 1: how can you tell the truth about Trump? 736 00:41:39,120 --> 00:41:41,560 Speaker 2: You can't. This is where we are with that. This 737 00:41:41,600 --> 00:41:43,840 Speaker 2: is why you're seeing on the foreign policy stuff. 738 00:41:44,800 --> 00:41:47,160 Speaker 1: Well, they better hope that he doesn't pull off something 739 00:41:47,200 --> 00:41:50,000 Speaker 1: good here, because this is like the old If Trump 740 00:41:50,040 --> 00:41:52,799 Speaker 1: cured cancer, they'd be pro cancer, Yeah they would. 741 00:41:53,440 --> 00:41:54,520 Speaker 2: Or they would come up with some way. 742 00:41:54,560 --> 00:41:56,040 Speaker 1: I mean there's maybe a little bit of a more 743 00:41:56,120 --> 00:41:58,200 Speaker 1: sly way for them, which is what I was alluding 744 00:41:58,200 --> 00:42:01,640 Speaker 1: to with with Zelenski, which is just to say, even 745 00:42:01,680 --> 00:42:04,279 Speaker 1: if it's even if Trump is the point man on 746 00:42:04,360 --> 00:42:07,239 Speaker 1: something and gets the win, they'll find a way to 747 00:42:07,280 --> 00:42:09,759 Speaker 1: make it someone else if they if they can't say 748 00:42:09,760 --> 00:42:12,799 Speaker 1: it's bad, it's someone else's win. Or Trump didn't really 749 00:42:12,800 --> 00:42:14,719 Speaker 1: do that, you didn't build that, you know, that's that's 750 00:42:14,800 --> 00:42:15,479 Speaker 1: the real move. 751 00:42:16,040 --> 00:42:20,359 Speaker 2: Well, and again this is I think there is a 752 00:42:20,560 --> 00:42:26,840 Speaker 2: huge world to examine of of groups that Trump broke 753 00:42:27,560 --> 00:42:31,680 Speaker 2: because their only position was reflexively anti Trump. There was 754 00:42:31,719 --> 00:42:34,439 Speaker 2: no nuance to it. I think the legacy media is dead. 755 00:42:34,560 --> 00:42:37,640 Speaker 2: I think it's finished. I think that the Democrat Party 756 00:42:37,719 --> 00:42:39,600 Speaker 2: right now as we know it is dead and buried. 757 00:42:39,640 --> 00:42:44,120 Speaker 2: It does not exist. I think the woke universe that 758 00:42:44,239 --> 00:42:48,560 Speaker 2: surrounded Trump in opposition has crumbled in essence around him too. 759 00:42:49,160 --> 00:42:55,160 Speaker 2: You cannot define yourself as being opposed to someone else 760 00:42:55,239 --> 00:42:59,719 Speaker 2: because at some point they checkmate you. And I think 761 00:42:59,800 --> 00:43:03,439 Speaker 2: every day we are seeing Democrats getting checkmated. I mean, 762 00:43:04,120 --> 00:43:06,520 Speaker 2: let me play this cut for you. Eric as we 763 00:43:06,560 --> 00:43:10,719 Speaker 2: go to break. Eric Swallwell Buck is now saying there 764 00:43:10,760 --> 00:43:14,759 Speaker 2: are no criminals in d C outside of politics. It's 765 00:43:14,920 --> 00:43:17,239 Speaker 2: just transparently ridiculous. Listen to this. 766 00:43:17,360 --> 00:43:20,440 Speaker 8: Federal troops and federal law enforcement are coming to a 767 00:43:20,600 --> 00:43:24,160 Speaker 8: federalized Washington, d C. The stated reason crime is on 768 00:43:24,200 --> 00:43:26,279 Speaker 8: the rise. Well, I don't know if that's true, but 769 00:43:26,320 --> 00:43:29,239 Speaker 8: I know there are way more criminals in Washington, d C. 770 00:43:29,560 --> 00:43:32,719 Speaker 8: Today than there were back in early January. And there's 771 00:43:32,719 --> 00:43:37,560 Speaker 8: a direct line between a thirty four count convicted felon 772 00:43:37,800 --> 00:43:42,400 Speaker 8: coming to a Northwest neighborhood having other cases that disappeared 773 00:43:42,440 --> 00:43:44,560 Speaker 8: that he should have been held accountable for bringing his 774 00:43:45,080 --> 00:43:50,920 Speaker 8: seven bankruptcy and his network of other convicts and thieves 775 00:43:51,320 --> 00:43:54,760 Speaker 8: and thugs into our community. Yes, there are more criminals 776 00:43:54,760 --> 00:43:57,000 Speaker 8: in Washington, d C. Most of them are in the 777 00:43:57,040 --> 00:43:58,600 Speaker 8: Trump administration. 778 00:43:58,640 --> 00:44:00,919 Speaker 2: Most of them. I mean, it's so ridiculous. 779 00:44:01,320 --> 00:44:04,840 Speaker 1: Well, I got a fever as a Republican and the 780 00:44:04,880 --> 00:44:06,440 Speaker 1: only prescription is more Swallwell. 781 00:44:06,960 --> 00:44:07,640 Speaker 2: More of this guy. 782 00:44:07,760 --> 00:44:10,040 Speaker 1: We need Swalwell twenty four to seven out there in 783 00:44:10,080 --> 00:44:13,319 Speaker 1: the media being the He should be the guy that 784 00:44:13,400 --> 00:44:16,200 Speaker 1: Democrats turned to on everything because they will never win 785 00:44:16,239 --> 00:44:18,920 Speaker 1: another national election for the rest of their lives. 786 00:44:18,960 --> 00:44:21,640 Speaker 2: I think this is fantastic. We need more Swalwell. 787 00:44:21,960 --> 00:44:23,960 Speaker 1: I have I'll tell you this, I have never met 788 00:44:23,960 --> 00:44:27,319 Speaker 1: a Democrat that liked this guy, that like would go 789 00:44:27,480 --> 00:44:28,799 Speaker 1: that would go out of their way. Now maybe they 790 00:44:28,880 --> 00:44:31,600 Speaker 1: defend him or whatever because he's a Democrat sometimes, but 791 00:44:31,760 --> 00:44:32,520 Speaker 1: none of them. 792 00:44:32,440 --> 00:44:36,480 Speaker 2: Are even vaguely uh you know pro Swallwell. 793 00:44:36,480 --> 00:44:38,680 Speaker 1: I know, I know people were big Bernie people, Hillary people, 794 00:44:38,719 --> 00:44:41,799 Speaker 1: Obama people, everything else, now AOC people. There's all these 795 00:44:42,000 --> 00:44:46,160 Speaker 1: but Swalwell is uh. We just need more of him, 796 00:44:46,200 --> 00:44:48,040 Speaker 1: We need we need him making the case all the time. 797 00:44:48,040 --> 00:44:50,640 Speaker 1: It would be a great thing for America if whenever 798 00:44:50,640 --> 00:44:53,600 Speaker 1: somebody thought what's a Democrat, it was this guy and 799 00:44:53,640 --> 00:44:56,799 Speaker 1: his uh, his esteemed record. 800 00:44:56,800 --> 00:44:59,640 Speaker 2: Which I think Hejamin Crockett should pair up. I think 801 00:44:59,719 --> 00:45:02,320 Speaker 2: that's the best possible. They should go on together. They should, 802 00:45:02,520 --> 00:45:03,120 Speaker 2: They really should. 803 00:45:03,160 --> 00:45:05,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, it would be a good move. I think that 804 00:45:05,320 --> 00:45:07,279 Speaker 1: would be excellent because I don't I agree. I don't 805 00:45:07,320 --> 00:45:10,040 Speaker 1: even know what he thinks he's saying. It's so dumb 806 00:45:10,560 --> 00:45:13,200 Speaker 1: that I'm not sure that he even understands the point 807 00:45:13,200 --> 00:45:15,560 Speaker 1: that he's trying to make. It's so dumb, it's not 808 00:45:15,600 --> 00:45:18,359 Speaker 1: even wrong, Clay, I don't know what it is. That's 809 00:45:18,400 --> 00:45:21,000 Speaker 1: where Swowell is, all right, we got to talk about 810 00:45:21,000 --> 00:45:22,839 Speaker 1: preborn here for a moment, Preborn is in a league 811 00:45:22,840 --> 00:45:25,280 Speaker 1: of its own.

And I would say one 875 00:48:35,120 --> 00:48:39,280 Speaker 1: part of this, as we're looking to see I really 876 00:48:40,080 --> 00:48:44,399 Speaker 1: everybody the same way that Clay has taken a very 877 00:48:44,440 --> 00:48:46,640 Speaker 1: brave stand recently that he is anti murder. 878 00:48:47,719 --> 00:48:50,960 Speaker 2: I am he you know, it was bold. It was bold. 879 00:48:51,000 --> 00:48:55,160 Speaker 1: Clay does not like the the killing of somebody in 880 00:48:55,200 --> 00:48:56,600 Speaker 1: a crime for no reason. 881 00:48:57,239 --> 00:48:58,279 Speaker 2: That's bad. It's bad. 882 00:48:58,320 --> 00:48:59,920 Speaker 1: And I know what I'm gonna I co sign with 883 00:49:00,080 --> 00:49:01,799 Speaker 1: him on that one. I'm not going to leave him 884 00:49:01,800 --> 00:49:05,680 Speaker 1: out on there alone. I think also, ending a a 885 00:49:05,880 --> 00:49:09,920 Speaker 1: war over territory that is killing hundreds of thousands of 886 00:49:10,000 --> 00:49:13,279 Speaker 1: people is something that any human being could just. 887 00:49:13,320 --> 00:49:14,879 Speaker 2: Very much be in favor of. Right. 888 00:49:15,000 --> 00:49:17,440 Speaker 1: This is very obvious, very easy stuff to root for. 889 00:49:18,560 --> 00:49:21,040 Speaker 1: It's not controversial. It's one of those rare things that 890 00:49:21,200 --> 00:49:25,600 Speaker 1: really isn't or I should say shouldn't be partisan, even 891 00:49:25,640 --> 00:49:27,760 Speaker 1: though in this case it has been made very partisan. 892 00:49:28,719 --> 00:49:30,719 Speaker 1: And I'm hopeful of this will come to an end. 893 00:49:30,719 --> 00:49:35,120 Speaker 1: I would also say, though Clay, the possibility here of 894 00:49:35,280 --> 00:49:39,120 Speaker 1: I think a really nice again, most important, I just 895 00:49:39,160 --> 00:49:40,800 Speaker 1: want to say all that stuff because the most important 896 00:49:40,800 --> 00:49:44,879 Speaker 1: thing is that you know, young Ukrainian men, young Ukrainian, 897 00:49:44,920 --> 00:49:48,280 Speaker 1: young Russian men are are not just just getting blown 898 00:49:48,360 --> 00:49:51,200 Speaker 1: up for what right this is happening every day. 899 00:49:51,200 --> 00:49:51,760 Speaker 2: It's horrible. 900 00:49:53,080 --> 00:49:56,560 Speaker 1: But something else that could be an additional benefit of 901 00:49:56,600 --> 00:49:59,640 Speaker 1: all this is it'd be good for business and the 902 00:50:00,600 --> 00:50:02,240 Speaker 1: which matters for. 903 00:50:02,239 --> 00:50:04,680 Speaker 2: A whole lot of people all over the world too. 904 00:50:04,840 --> 00:50:09,960 Speaker 1: If Russia wasn't doing this, if Russia's war it's aggressive 905 00:50:10,000 --> 00:50:12,160 Speaker 1: war here and the sanctions that are in place and 906 00:50:12,160 --> 00:50:14,279 Speaker 1: all the rest. So oklay, I think there's a possibility 907 00:50:14,320 --> 00:50:17,319 Speaker 1: that this could have some nice movement in the markets too, 908 00:50:17,440 --> 00:50:23,480 Speaker 1: if it comes to what feels like a real move forward. 909 00:50:23,920 --> 00:50:26,280 Speaker 1: It can't just be some empty words from putin this time. 910 00:50:26,600 --> 00:50:28,440 Speaker 1: But if it looks like it's really going in the 911 00:50:28,520 --> 00:50:31,760 Speaker 1: right direction, you know, we're heading to a place where 912 00:50:32,320 --> 00:50:36,000 Speaker 1: the Iran nuclear program is not something anyone cares about 913 00:50:36,080 --> 00:50:37,920 Speaker 1: right now. I mean, in general, I know there are 914 00:50:37,920 --> 00:50:40,120 Speaker 1: people in the Pentagon and stuff youal care, but it's 915 00:50:40,120 --> 00:50:41,800 Speaker 1: not something that is worrying anybody. 916 00:50:43,040 --> 00:50:44,359 Speaker 2: I think we're reaching the end. 917 00:50:44,400 --> 00:50:50,600 Speaker 1: Here pretty soon of Israel's counter strike against Hamas in Gaza. 918 00:50:51,040 --> 00:50:54,120 Speaker 1: I think that's going to be everyone can see it's 919 00:50:54,480 --> 00:50:58,759 Speaker 1: coming to a final phase. And now you have this, 920 00:50:59,040 --> 00:51:02,000 Speaker 1: and if this were to be taken off the table 921 00:51:02,120 --> 00:51:06,360 Speaker 1: as just a geopolitical flashpoint, as a point of instability 922 00:51:06,400 --> 00:51:11,439 Speaker 1: for national security, but also on the economic front energy, how. 923 00:51:11,320 --> 00:51:13,440 Speaker 2: It effect the energy prices. It just to be a 924 00:51:13,520 --> 00:51:14,400 Speaker 2: huge win all around. 925 00:51:14,640 --> 00:51:16,920 Speaker 1: It's such a big win that if he pulls it 926 00:51:16,960 --> 00:51:19,919 Speaker 1: off Hillary, I know, she said in a snarky way, 927 00:51:20,040 --> 00:51:22,239 Speaker 1: but she would even I think she should be held 928 00:51:22,280 --> 00:51:24,440 Speaker 1: to this. If he pulls us off, he should get 929 00:51:24,440 --> 00:51:25,319 Speaker 1: the Nobel Piece price. 930 00:51:25,960 --> 00:51:29,560 Speaker 2: I don't think there's any doubt. Some news on the meetup, 931 00:51:30,880 --> 00:51:35,239 Speaker 2: it was unclear who exactly would be in the room. 932 00:51:35,920 --> 00:51:39,200 Speaker 2: The room is a trio from the United States, reportedly 933 00:51:39,719 --> 00:51:43,759 Speaker 2: Steve Witkoff, who is Trump's friend, billionaire advisor who has 934 00:51:43,800 --> 00:51:47,680 Speaker 2: been trying to negotiate peace around the world. Marco Rubio 935 00:51:47,719 --> 00:51:51,800 Speaker 2: obviously Secretary of State, and Donald Trump. We know putin 936 00:51:51,920 --> 00:51:56,040 Speaker 2: on the Russia side. We don't know the exact three 937 00:51:56,160 --> 00:52:01,080 Speaker 2: v three setup that will be taking place, but that 938 00:52:01,640 --> 00:52:05,160 Speaker 2: Whitcoff is a Miami beach guy. By the way, he's name, Yeah, 939 00:52:05,160 --> 00:52:05,760 Speaker 2: he's my neighbor. 940 00:52:06,320 --> 00:52:08,560 Speaker 1: I could I could walk to Wick Coff's house in 941 00:52:08,600 --> 00:52:09,400 Speaker 1: like a couple of minutes. 942 00:52:09,800 --> 00:52:12,600 Speaker 2: He's been all over the world trying to bring peace. 943 00:52:12,640 --> 00:52:16,759 Speaker 2: I mean, he's basically Trump's global emissary for peace. So 944 00:52:16,840 --> 00:52:19,400 Speaker 2: you've got that trio. I do think this is smart 945 00:52:19,400 --> 00:52:24,240 Speaker 2: strategically because if it were Trump putin one on one, 946 00:52:25,080 --> 00:52:27,600 Speaker 2: then there would be a lot of discussion about, oh, 947 00:52:27,640 --> 00:52:31,759 Speaker 2: they're you know, trying to Manchurion Canada, Trump all these 948 00:52:31,760 --> 00:52:36,160 Speaker 2: different things. Rubio has been one of the best. There's 949 00:52:36,200 --> 00:52:39,000 Speaker 2: been a bunch, but one of the best cabinet secretary picks. 950 00:52:39,000 --> 00:52:40,960 Speaker 2: I think it's fair to say of Trump. I mean, 951 00:52:41,000 --> 00:52:44,560 Speaker 2: I think Marco Rubio has been just just fabulous, just incredible. 952 00:52:45,320 --> 00:52:49,799 Speaker 2: Steve Witcoff obviously, but I think three v three is 953 00:52:49,840 --> 00:52:51,879 Speaker 2: not a bad It's not big enough number where there's 954 00:52:51,880 --> 00:52:54,720 Speaker 2: tons of people talking and there's lots of conflicting voices, 955 00:52:55,280 --> 00:52:58,040 Speaker 2: which is always a challenge in these negotiations, but it 956 00:52:58,120 --> 00:53:00,239 Speaker 2: lets you know, Okay, here are the guys, and I 957 00:53:00,280 --> 00:53:02,840 Speaker 2: presume it'll be six men. Here are the guys that 958 00:53:02,920 --> 00:53:06,080 Speaker 2: are going to be determining what the parameters of a 959 00:53:06,120 --> 00:53:09,319 Speaker 2: potential peace deal could be. Now you know, it's just 960 00:53:09,360 --> 00:53:11,440 Speaker 2: as a bat I'm sorry go ahead. No, I was 961 00:53:11,480 --> 00:53:15,200 Speaker 2: just gonna say, We've talked a lot about the Trump side. 962 00:53:15,239 --> 00:53:17,319 Speaker 2: I think Trump's motivations are pretty clear. Hey, let's have 963 00:53:17,400 --> 00:53:19,399 Speaker 2: less people dying. To your point, I think it's very 964 00:53:19,440 --> 00:53:22,760 Speaker 2: hard to say something negative about Trump as it pertains 965 00:53:22,760 --> 00:53:26,720 Speaker 2: to this story, even if you're trying. Why would Putin 966 00:53:26,840 --> 00:53:30,280 Speaker 2: go all the way to Anchorage, come to the United 967 00:53:30,280 --> 00:53:34,839 Speaker 2: States and not have the intent of advancing talks in 968 00:53:34,920 --> 00:53:36,960 Speaker 2: some way. It's not like Trump and Putin meet face 969 00:53:37,000 --> 00:53:39,680 Speaker 2: to face all the time. I don't think Putin has 970 00:53:39,719 --> 00:53:43,240 Speaker 2: met with a president in years and years. He hasn't 971 00:53:43,239 --> 00:53:45,760 Speaker 2: been to the United States and eight years or something. 972 00:53:46,520 --> 00:53:48,399 Speaker 2: Seems a little bit unlikely to me that he would 973 00:53:48,400 --> 00:53:50,400 Speaker 2: travel all this way and spend all this time with 974 00:53:50,480 --> 00:53:54,480 Speaker 2: no intent to advance towards peace or a negotiated settlement 975 00:53:54,520 --> 00:53:57,640 Speaker 2: in some way. Just trying to analyze it from his perspective, 976 00:53:58,360 --> 00:54:00,040 Speaker 2: it doesn't add up to me that he would go 977 00:54:00,200 --> 00:54:02,520 Speaker 2: all the way face to face to tell Trump, hey, 978 00:54:02,560 --> 00:54:05,400 Speaker 2: screw you, we're not gonna come to any kind of agreement. 979 00:54:05,680 --> 00:54:07,520 Speaker 1: At some level, I think you could arg I think 980 00:54:07,520 --> 00:54:10,239 Speaker 1: people might argue Clay on that one. I tend to 981 00:54:10,760 --> 00:54:14,239 Speaker 1: agree with you. That there's clearly some motivation here for 982 00:54:14,320 --> 00:54:18,520 Speaker 1: Putin to he's feeling some pressure and there's a desire 983 00:54:18,560 --> 00:54:20,920 Speaker 1: to at least look like he wants to have some 984 00:54:21,000 --> 00:54:23,080 Speaker 1: kind of a conversation about this. But I also think 985 00:54:23,120 --> 00:54:28,240 Speaker 1: that there's the he's legitimized on the world stage as 986 00:54:29,239 --> 00:54:32,160 Speaker 1: not just like the Russian bad guy, but ahead of 987 00:54:32,280 --> 00:54:34,960 Speaker 1: state he's meeting with Trump. You know, it goes to 988 00:54:35,000 --> 00:54:38,920 Speaker 1: the propaganda of oh, well, like Putin's actually he's trying 989 00:54:39,000 --> 00:54:40,239 Speaker 1: to you know, he's reasonable. 990 00:54:40,719 --> 00:54:41,120 Speaker 2: Russian. 991 00:54:41,280 --> 00:54:44,440 Speaker 1: Russian aims in this war are not are not beyond 992 00:54:44,480 --> 00:54:47,520 Speaker 1: the pale. It is kind of funny though, that the 993 00:54:47,520 --> 00:54:54,840 Speaker 1: the venue for this negotiation is the place where America 994 00:54:56,040 --> 00:54:58,120 Speaker 1: made the second best land. 995 00:54:57,920 --> 00:55:03,800 Speaker 10: Deal in its history was eighteen sixty seven seven million 996 00:55:03,800 --> 00:55:08,040 Speaker 10: bucks Seward's Folly they called it, right is so Alaska 997 00:55:08,160 --> 00:55:11,160 Speaker 10: is after the Louisiana purchase YEAP, which was really just 998 00:55:11,200 --> 00:55:13,200 Speaker 10: because of all time. 999 00:55:14,080 --> 00:55:16,879 Speaker 1: Yeah, the number one, number one greatest land deal ever done. 1000 00:55:19,000 --> 00:55:21,240 Speaker 1: I'm sorry Trump. I know Trump's done some great deals, 1001 00:55:21,239 --> 00:55:23,080 Speaker 1: but I think Louisiana purchase, I think we got to 1002 00:55:23,080 --> 00:55:25,759 Speaker 1: give credit probably the greatest, probably the greatest deal for 1003 00:55:25,840 --> 00:55:29,120 Speaker 1: land of all time. But buying Alaska from the Russians 1004 00:55:29,120 --> 00:55:30,600 Speaker 1: for seven million bucks. 1005 00:55:31,080 --> 00:55:31,480 Speaker 2: That one. 1006 00:55:31,600 --> 00:55:35,359 Speaker 1: In retrospect, that was quite a deal. That's quite a move. 1007 00:55:35,600 --> 00:55:36,959 Speaker 1: We want to talk to the art of the deal. 1008 00:55:37,400 --> 00:55:39,480 Speaker 1: You get all that now. Of course, this is before 1009 00:55:39,520 --> 00:55:43,919 Speaker 1: the discovery of oil, right, so there's that people didn't 1010 00:55:43,960 --> 00:55:46,640 Speaker 1: recognize that oil was going to be the you know, 1011 00:55:47,120 --> 00:55:49,160 Speaker 1: most valuable in some ways, or one of the most 1012 00:55:49,239 --> 00:55:55,320 Speaker 1: valuable natural commodities in the world, natural resources in the world. 1013 00:55:55,680 --> 00:55:59,400 Speaker 1: But yeah, America really showed Russia what's up back in 1014 00:56:00,000 --> 00:56:00,959 Speaker 1: eighteen sixty seven. 1015 00:56:01,080 --> 00:56:03,759 Speaker 2: All right, there's gonna be some I love the We're 1016 00:56:03,760 --> 00:56:08,280 Speaker 2: gonna get the history NERD contingent firing away. The purchase 1017 00:56:08,520 --> 00:56:12,680 Speaker 2: of Manhattan for some trinkets probably a pretty good deal, 1018 00:56:12,840 --> 00:56:15,880 Speaker 2: was it. Twenty three dollars in trinkets turned out to 1019 00:56:15,880 --> 00:56:18,600 Speaker 2: be a pretty good value back in the seventeen hundreds 1020 00:56:18,600 --> 00:56:22,440 Speaker 2: if I'm remembering correctly. Eighteen oh three Louisiana purchase. Can 1021 00:56:22,560 --> 00:56:24,680 Speaker 2: just throw out there though, that was that's the Dutch, right, 1022 00:56:25,440 --> 00:56:27,640 Speaker 2: the Dutch did it? Oh we want a country yet, 1023 00:56:27,680 --> 00:56:31,920 Speaker 2: So yeah, that's a good distinction for what I says, too, 1024 00:56:31,920 --> 00:56:34,560 Speaker 2: pulled that one off. So we're talking about American land 1025 00:56:34,560 --> 00:56:35,320 Speaker 2: deals here. Baby. 1026 00:56:35,360 --> 00:56:37,359 Speaker 1: That was the Dutch who were like, you know, they 1027 00:56:37,400 --> 00:56:39,440 Speaker 1: kind of faded after that. That was their high that 1028 00:56:39,520 --> 00:56:40,240 Speaker 1: was their high point. 1029 00:56:41,880 --> 00:56:45,520 Speaker 2: The by the way, one update on the meeting, I said, 1030 00:56:45,800 --> 00:56:48,400 Speaker 2: I'm reporting this is Caitlin Collins from CNN who put 1031 00:56:48,480 --> 00:56:52,400 Speaker 2: this out three v. Three. Uh. They're also then going 1032 00:56:52,440 --> 00:56:56,600 Speaker 2: to expand at a working lunch. This is I mean, 1033 00:56:56,640 --> 00:56:59,600 Speaker 2: I think the psychology on this is do you really eat? 1034 00:57:00,680 --> 00:57:03,080 Speaker 2: I mean, are people like working? Can you imagine you're 1035 00:57:03,080 --> 00:57:06,800 Speaker 2: trying to hammer out the biggest peace treaty since World 1036 00:57:06,840 --> 00:57:10,160 Speaker 2: War Two and they're standing in line at a buffet 1037 00:57:10,400 --> 00:57:14,279 Speaker 2: or maybe they're getting delivered food on the base. Do 1038 00:57:14,320 --> 00:57:17,720 Speaker 2: you really eat? The working lunch element to this is 1039 00:57:17,760 --> 00:57:19,880 Speaker 2: really kind of they're like, hey, guys, maybe we don't 1040 00:57:19,920 --> 00:57:22,360 Speaker 2: have the hamburgers. Maybe we just kind of focus on 1041 00:57:22,480 --> 00:57:25,480 Speaker 2: trying to hammer out the peace deal. But the bilateral 1042 00:57:25,560 --> 00:57:31,960 Speaker 2: working lunch is going to be Trump Rubio, Hegseeth Bessant. 1043 00:57:32,040 --> 00:57:36,800 Speaker 2: So that's the Secretary's of State, of the Defense and 1044 00:57:37,120 --> 00:57:40,600 Speaker 2: of the Treasury, as well as Scott Lutnick, who is 1045 00:57:40,640 --> 00:57:45,560 Speaker 2: Secretary of Commerce wit Cough and Chief of Staff Susie Wiles. 1046 00:57:46,280 --> 00:57:48,880 Speaker 2: My point again on this that I would reiterate is 1047 00:57:49,280 --> 00:57:52,640 Speaker 2: that's basically everybody who matters at the top levels of 1048 00:57:52,680 --> 00:57:55,960 Speaker 2: the United States government, all of them have traveled all 1049 00:57:56,000 --> 00:57:59,120 Speaker 2: the way to Anchorage, Alaska for this meeting. We don't 1050 00:57:59,160 --> 00:58:02,240 Speaker 2: know exactly who Puton is bringing, but that's not the 1051 00:58:02,360 --> 00:58:05,200 Speaker 2: kind of crew you roll with if this is supposed 1052 00:58:05,200 --> 00:58:09,960 Speaker 2: to be some sort of formality and not a significant discussion. Again, 1053 00:58:10,160 --> 00:58:11,760 Speaker 2: we don't know what the outcome is going to be, 1054 00:58:12,280 --> 00:58:16,160 Speaker 2: but Trump basically is bringing the five or six most 1055 00:58:16,200 --> 00:58:21,360 Speaker 2: significant people in the administration to meet face to face 1056 00:58:21,440 --> 00:58:25,240 Speaker 2: with Russia's leadership as well, and I presume Putin must 1057 00:58:25,320 --> 00:58:28,560 Speaker 2: be bringing all of his top guys as well, uh, 1058 00:58:28,640 --> 00:58:31,840 Speaker 2: in order for this meeting to take place. But yeah, lunch, 1059 00:58:31,960 --> 00:58:35,120 Speaker 2: working lunch. I mean, that seems kind of hard. It's 1060 00:58:35,160 --> 00:58:35,800 Speaker 2: just it's weird. 1061 00:58:35,840 --> 00:58:38,520 Speaker 1: Ian Trump is gonna think they brought some some big 1062 00:58:38,560 --> 00:58:39,960 Speaker 1: Max and Diet Cokes for Trump. 1063 00:58:40,040 --> 00:58:45,080 Speaker 2: He's a fan. I think he's probably gonna just roll out, 1064 00:58:45,160 --> 00:58:49,200 Speaker 2: you know, quarter pounders, although that's a cultural statement as well, 1065 00:58:49,280 --> 00:58:52,840 Speaker 2: since McDonald's had to pull out of Russia. That's one 1066 00:58:52,880 --> 00:58:55,800 Speaker 2: thing that I think is actually very interesting about all 1067 00:58:55,840 --> 00:59:00,680 Speaker 2: of this. How do we desanctify Russia. We took all 1068 00:59:00,720 --> 00:59:03,960 Speaker 2: Western assets effectively out of the country. They gave them 1069 00:59:03,960 --> 00:59:06,400 Speaker 2: all to interior. How do we de sanction? How do 1070 00:59:06,440 --> 00:59:08,680 Speaker 2: wed sanction them? Take the sanctions off at this? Yeah, 1071 00:59:08,720 --> 00:59:10,120 Speaker 2: how do we How do we like, do they go 1072 00:59:10,200 --> 00:59:13,400 Speaker 2: back to McDonald's in Subway instead of the Russian You know. 1073 00:59:13,680 --> 00:59:16,000 Speaker 1: Not not to open it, not to open up the 1074 00:59:16,000 --> 00:59:18,479 Speaker 1: tennis conversation again, but I will say this, I've seen 1075 00:59:18,520 --> 00:59:21,080 Speaker 1: this because there are a lot of great Russian tennis players. 1076 00:59:21,120 --> 00:59:23,360 Speaker 1: It's a sport where Russians are. I think that and 1077 00:59:23,400 --> 00:59:25,440 Speaker 1: probably ice hockey are the places where you got the 1078 00:59:25,520 --> 00:59:29,520 Speaker 1: highest Russian uh, you know, Russian level athletes at the 1079 00:59:29,520 --> 00:59:30,120 Speaker 1: top level. 1080 00:59:30,560 --> 00:59:31,360 Speaker 2: Am I missing one? 1081 00:59:31,720 --> 00:59:31,800 Speaker 4: No? 1082 00:59:31,880 --> 00:59:33,320 Speaker 2: I was just gonna say to your point, it's a 1083 00:59:33,320 --> 00:59:36,120 Speaker 2: good one. Remember we're hosting the Olympics in twenty eight. 1084 00:59:37,240 --> 00:59:42,200 Speaker 2: Russian involvement could be significant. Historically, Russian American competition in 1085 00:59:42,200 --> 00:59:45,920 Speaker 2: the Olympics has been a very significant geopolitical flashpoint. So 1086 00:59:45,960 --> 00:59:47,960 Speaker 2: I wonder if I might get mentioned here. 1087 00:59:48,280 --> 00:59:50,680 Speaker 1: And and and beyond that, though, I just think this, uh, 1088 00:59:51,120 --> 00:59:54,280 Speaker 1: not having the Russian flag for Russian players in tennis, 1089 00:59:54,680 --> 00:59:58,880 Speaker 1: but having this little empty square is ridiculous, It's dumb. 1090 00:59:59,160 --> 01:00:02,800 Speaker 1: It's not the players fault, that's their nationality. This is 1091 01:00:02,920 --> 01:00:05,480 Speaker 1: this is like virtue signaling, you know, idiocy. 1092 01:00:05,560 --> 01:00:07,560 Speaker 2: Okay, it's agree, you're. 1093 01:00:07,480 --> 01:00:10,800 Speaker 1: You're you're identifying the nationality of the player. You're not 1094 01:00:11,080 --> 01:00:13,640 Speaker 1: bowing down and saying Russia is great and playing the 1095 01:00:13,680 --> 01:00:15,760 Speaker 1: Russian national anthem before every tennis match. 1096 01:00:16,080 --> 01:00:17,800 Speaker 2: So I just think that this but this goes to this. 1097 01:00:17,800 --> 01:00:21,400 Speaker 1: Mentality where people a lot of the stuff you see 1098 01:00:21,440 --> 01:00:24,480 Speaker 1: around the Russian Ukraine War in this country is just 1099 01:00:24,560 --> 01:00:27,960 Speaker 1: posturing by people who like to think that they're braver 1100 01:00:28,120 --> 01:00:31,240 Speaker 1: than they are on issues where they're not taking any stand. Really, 1101 01:00:31,280 --> 01:00:33,080 Speaker 1: they just want everyone to think they're taking some kind 1102 01:00:33,120 --> 01:00:35,240 Speaker 1: of a stand. I mean, what, like what why punish 1103 01:00:35,320 --> 01:00:38,200 Speaker 1: the Russian players they're not, they didn't do anything. 1104 01:00:38,600 --> 01:00:41,040 Speaker 2: Maybe don't put in racism in the end zone for 1105 01:00:41,280 --> 01:00:43,800 Speaker 2: NFL stadiums, like right. I mean, I think all of 1106 01:00:43,800 --> 01:00:46,600 Speaker 2: this political posturing in the world of sports is absurd. 1107 01:00:46,640 --> 01:00:48,320 Speaker 2: I sign off on that. I mean, the idea that 1108 01:00:48,320 --> 01:00:50,720 Speaker 2: you can't have the flag. By the way, breaking news 1109 01:00:50,760 --> 01:00:55,440 Speaker 2: coming down, Trump told Brett Baher, I won't be happy 1110 01:00:55,480 --> 01:00:57,920 Speaker 2: Fox News is Brett Bayer, I won't be happy if 1111 01:00:57,960 --> 01:01:03,360 Speaker 2: I walk away without some form of ceasefire. So I 1112 01:01:03,400 --> 01:01:06,760 Speaker 2: would just say he's raising a bit expectations for what 1113 01:01:06,920 --> 01:01:12,560 Speaker 2: this meeting will actually result in. So heck, I mean 1114 01:01:12,600 --> 01:01:15,680 Speaker 2: stay tuned. I mean obviously Sean Hannity is in Alaska 1115 01:01:15,760 --> 01:01:18,880 Speaker 2: and will be live right after us. I don't know 1116 01:01:18,920 --> 01:01:21,640 Speaker 2: when this is going to officially we'll get breaking news 1117 01:01:21,680 --> 01:01:25,000 Speaker 2: on this, uh, but headed into the weekend, this is 1118 01:01:25,000 --> 01:01:27,400 Speaker 2: potentially gonna be good. I'm gonna throw producer ally under 1119 01:01:27,400 --> 01:01:29,400 Speaker 2: the bus again, by the way, you know, I hate 1120 01:01:29,480 --> 01:01:32,959 Speaker 2: to do this before the weekend. Clay twice harsh within 1121 01:01:33,000 --> 01:01:35,840 Speaker 2: the same hour. Producer, Ali, do you want to come 1122 01:01:35,920 --> 01:01:38,479 Speaker 2: up on the mic? You told us that Air Force 1123 01:01:38,560 --> 01:01:41,240 Speaker 2: one landed like an hour and a half before Air 1124 01:01:41,280 --> 01:01:45,080 Speaker 2: Force one actually landed. Thankfully, air Force one has landed safely. 1125 01:01:45,320 --> 01:01:48,080 Speaker 2: Would you like to apologize to this massive audience for 1126 01:01:48,160 --> 01:01:50,480 Speaker 2: your failures not only here, but also forgetting me to 1127 01:01:50,480 --> 01:01:51,600 Speaker 2: say kfab. 1128 01:01:51,720 --> 01:01:56,040 Speaker 4: Yes, I am crouched in the fetal position under the bus. 1129 01:01:56,280 --> 01:01:59,160 Speaker 2: I said. During a break, I was like, Ali, they are. 1130 01:01:59,360 --> 01:02:02,040 Speaker 2: Brett Baird just tweeted, Hey, we just landed in Alaska 1131 01:02:02,080 --> 01:02:04,400 Speaker 2: and we said it. I thought, because I saw Trump 1132 01:02:04,440 --> 01:02:07,320 Speaker 2: taking off. How did they get there that fast? So 1133 01:02:07,520 --> 01:02:10,040 Speaker 2: producer Ali, I mean, all right, I blame a I. 1134 01:02:10,640 --> 01:02:12,760 Speaker 2: You know, we're trying to try to find this information 1135 01:02:12,800 --> 01:02:16,000 Speaker 2: for you fast. I relied on AI and it failed me. 1136 01:02:16,200 --> 01:02:19,320 Speaker 2: There you go, Rock, Rock Letter Astray come back. 1137 01:02:19,440 --> 01:02:22,480 Speaker 1: Rock dramatically underestimated the speed of the Bucksters serve for 1138 01:02:22,520 --> 01:02:24,640 Speaker 1: any of you who tried that one. Not even close, 1139 01:02:25,000 --> 01:02:27,560 Speaker 1: not even close. Some people are saying, Rock. 1140 01:02:27,960 --> 01:02:29,720 Speaker 2: I don't know. Elon got to look at it a little 1141 01:02:29,720 --> 01:02:33,919 Speaker 2: more closely. Uh, we're shareholders, so I hope he looks 1142 01:02:33,920 --> 01:02:38,600 Speaker 2: at it very closely and gets it fatally. X AI, 1143 01:02:38,880 --> 01:02:41,520 Speaker 2: great company. We love it. When we come back, we'll 1144 01:02:41,560 --> 01:02:44,360 Speaker 2: close up shop on the on the week and give 1145 01:02:44,400 --> 01:02:47,680 Speaker 2: you the absolute latest, hopefully while being accurate. But in 1146 01:02:47,680 --> 01:02:50,080 Speaker 2: the meantime, I want to tell you Rapid Radio has 1147 01:02:50,120 --> 01:02:52,160 Speaker 2: got an incredible offer for you can get hooked up. 1148 01:02:52,720 --> 01:02:56,800 Speaker 2: I mentioned this. It's actually pretty fabulous for everyone in 1149 01:02:56,840 --> 01:02:58,840 Speaker 2: my family. We've been able to get hooked up with 1150 01:02:58,880 --> 01:03:01,440 Speaker 2: my mother in law, who lives in a home that 1151 01:03:01,480 --> 01:03:04,640 Speaker 2: does not have consistently great cell phone service. She's been 1152 01:03:04,680 --> 01:03:07,680 Speaker 2: frustrated by it. My wife has been very frustrated by it. 1153 01:03:08,120 --> 01:03:10,920 Speaker 2: The other day. Guess how they're communicating straight to rapid 1154 01:03:11,000 --> 01:03:13,280 Speaker 2: radios when my mother in law is in her home. 1155 01:03:13,320 --> 01:03:15,960 Speaker 2: This is in the Nashville area. Shouldn't be an issue. 1156 01:03:16,080 --> 01:03:18,560 Speaker 2: She doesn't have Cure talk, by the way, but there 1157 01:03:18,720 --> 01:03:21,800 Speaker 2: is a cell phone not working very well. If you 1158 01:03:22,200 --> 01:03:24,560 Speaker 2: have a situation like this and inevitably that can be 1159 01:03:24,640 --> 01:03:28,680 Speaker 2: very frustrating. It suddenly has happened in your neighborhood. Maybe 1160 01:03:28,680 --> 01:03:31,000 Speaker 2: it could sell towers now, maybe something's going wrong. You 1161 01:03:31,040 --> 01:03:34,280 Speaker 2: can communicate using this as a good backup for that 1162 01:03:34,520 --> 01:03:37,080 Speaker 2: rapid radios. We've also got my ten year old. He 1163 01:03:37,200 --> 01:03:39,160 Speaker 2: likes to go down to the grocery store and just 1164 01:03:39,200 --> 01:03:41,960 Speaker 2: buy himself a little snack sometimes with his friends. He 1165 01:03:42,000 --> 01:03:44,040 Speaker 2: doesn't have a cell phone yet, but if we want 1166 01:03:44,040 --> 01:03:47,520 Speaker 2: to let him walk into the neighborhood grocery store. Sometimes 1167 01:03:47,520 --> 01:03:50,480 Speaker 2: we will say, hey, just take this walkie talkie so 1168 01:03:50,560 --> 01:03:52,440 Speaker 2: we know you're okay. You can just hop on. They 1169 01:03:52,480 --> 01:03:55,480 Speaker 2: think it's cool because kids love walkie talkies. Maybe you're 1170 01:03:55,480 --> 01:03:58,240 Speaker 2: gonna be on a car trip and you were going 1171 01:03:58,280 --> 01:04:00,520 Speaker 2: to be in multiple different cars.
