1
00:00:00,560 --> 00:00:04,200
Speaker 1: Welcome back in Clay Travis Buck Sexton Show. Appreciate all

2
00:00:04,240 --> 00:00:06,920
Speaker 1: of you hanging out with us. As we are rolling

3
00:00:07,040 --> 00:00:11,719
Speaker 1: through the Tuesday edition of the program. Buck has already

4
00:00:11,760 --> 00:00:14,159
Speaker 1: filled out his bracket. I will fill mine out in

5
00:00:14,240 --> 00:00:17,360
Speaker 1: the next day or two and we will be posting

6
00:00:17,400 --> 00:00:20,040
Speaker 1: them up on clayanbuck dot com. We have a steake

7
00:00:20,079 --> 00:00:24,520
Speaker 1: dinner bet on the outcome of the bracket challenge. One

8
00:00:24,560 --> 00:00:27,960
Speaker 1: man not very happy about the brackets. West Virginia Governor

9
00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:32,440
Speaker 1: Patrick Morrissey. You guys West Virginia, for those who don't know,

10
00:00:33,040 --> 00:00:38,000
Speaker 1: West Virginia Mountaineers left out of the NCUBA tournament and

11
00:00:38,080 --> 00:00:41,839
Speaker 1: Governor you are going to potentially be suing the nc

12
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:46,160
Speaker 1: DOUBLEA over this. Thanks for coming on with us. What

13
00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:47,839
Speaker 1: can you tell us about this story?

14
00:00:48,640 --> 00:00:51,040
Speaker 2: Well, a couple things first, So thank you so much

15
00:00:51,080 --> 00:00:54,040
Speaker 2: for having me on your program today. I thought West

16
00:00:54,120 --> 00:00:57,160
Speaker 2: Virginia being left out of the tournament was the ultimate

17
00:00:57,280 --> 00:01:01,880
Speaker 2: miscarriage of justice and robbery at the highest level. And

18
00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:05,120
Speaker 2: so what we've asked to do is get to the

19
00:01:05,160 --> 00:01:08,080
Speaker 2: bottom of it and know just what happened. There's so

20
00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:12,160
Speaker 2: many suspicious things that have come up. The American public

21
00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:15,760
Speaker 2: deserves to know about it. This is actually the NCAA

22
00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:21,880
Speaker 2: selection process involves Americans across the country. It's very important

23
00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:25,360
Speaker 2: here in West Virginia. We care a lot about WVU.

24
00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:29,800
Speaker 2: We don't have a pro team, so so much fan energy,

25
00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:34,960
Speaker 2: player energy, and quite frankly resources go in to building

26
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:38,080
Speaker 2: the Mountaineers up. And when you have a process where

27
00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:41,120
Speaker 2: you have an athletic director who skips out of the

28
00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:45,440
Speaker 2: room yet their reports about payments and centives that may

29
00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:48,400
Speaker 2: be in place, I think it's time that we have

30
00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:53,400
Speaker 2: more objective criteria. They say quad one wins really should

31
00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:56,520
Speaker 2: have mattered. Well, obviously that's not the case if wv

32
00:01:56,720 --> 00:01:59,680
Speaker 2: left out. They say that they're trying to have a

33
00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:03,680
Speaker 2: fair process. But let's publicize the criteria and have this

34
00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:06,360
Speaker 2: be much more objective. It's not going to impact the

35
00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:08,880
Speaker 2: tournament this year, but as sure as heck, could make

36
00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:11,560
Speaker 2: it a lot better for the future to avoid these

37
00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:13,680
Speaker 2: kinds of outrageous decisions.

38
00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:17,480
Speaker 1: Okay, So for people who don't know, a big controversy

39
00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:21,480
Speaker 1: is that North Carolina's athletic director sits on the committee.

40
00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:25,120
Speaker 1: The committee is apprized of many different athletic directors from

41
00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:28,440
Speaker 1: across the country. There's a conflict there they say when

42
00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:33,280
Speaker 1: they talk about North Carolina's contention or seating, that the

43
00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:37,200
Speaker 1: athletic director of North Carolina would recuse himself. Do you

44
00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:40,160
Speaker 1: believe that that was on the up and up? Do

45
00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:42,680
Speaker 1: you think that it was fair? Do you think that

46
00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:45,680
Speaker 1: it was coincidental that North Carolina ended up being the

47
00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:46,360
Speaker 1: last team in?

48
00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:51,320
Speaker 2: Look, I think at a minimum, it smells a great deal. Right.

49
00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:54,680
Speaker 2: So part of the reason we ask for information and

50
00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:57,040
Speaker 2: we want to investigate this is we want to get

51
00:02:57,040 --> 00:02:59,920
Speaker 2: to the bottom of it, right, That's what the process

52
00:02:59,919 --> 00:03:03,600
Speaker 2: is all about. And so when I hear this, and

53
00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:05,720
Speaker 2: I hear the people jump out of the room at

54
00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:09,320
Speaker 2: the very end, and you know that North Carolina is

55
00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:13,600
Speaker 2: the last team in and WU is the first team

56
00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:17,240
Speaker 2: that's out, you know, you start to say, wait a minute,

57
00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:19,600
Speaker 2: when are you jumping in and out? You're in there

58
00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:24,600
Speaker 2: the entire process, and there's not the transparency about what

59
00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:27,600
Speaker 2: factors really matter. So just to go through a few

60
00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:31,960
Speaker 2: of these details, imagine if you're WVU and you have

61
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:36,120
Speaker 2: one hundred and eleven bracketologists who are predicting using their

62
00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:38,760
Speaker 2: own models, that you're going to be in the tournament,

63
00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:42,400
Speaker 2: and then North Carolina twenty seven of the one hundred

64
00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:45,040
Speaker 2: and eleven are suggesting you're going to be in. You

65
00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:47,880
Speaker 2: look at the various ratings and you say, how does

66
00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:51,080
Speaker 2: this stuff happen? So here's what needs to happen for

67
00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:53,320
Speaker 2: the future. We need to make sure we have the

68
00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:56,400
Speaker 2: better objective information. We're going to get it through the

69
00:03:56,440 --> 00:03:59,680
Speaker 2: investigation and trying to get all the facts. That's why

70
00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:02,120
Speaker 2: we need need the NC double A to step up

71
00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:02,840
Speaker 2: on this front.

72
00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:05,760
Speaker 3: Hey, Governor x Buck, I just have a quick question.

73
00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:09,520
Speaker 3: Is there some redress that you want on this or

74
00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:12,600
Speaker 3: do you just want transparency and accountability for what you

75
00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:15,560
Speaker 3: think is a very unfair outcome.

76
00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:19,279
Speaker 2: Look, I think that the NC double A I've found

77
00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:21,800
Speaker 2: over the years and I've been engaged with them on

78
00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:25,440
Speaker 2: a number of different topics. Sometimes they can be very arrogant,

79
00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:28,960
Speaker 2: and we saw that in the transfer eligibility rules. Some

80
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:32,400
Speaker 2: of your listeners may know that I sued over that

81
00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:35,159
Speaker 2: with a number of other Attorneys general and we brought

82
00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:38,320
Speaker 2: that rule down. So I think the first thing you

83
00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:41,080
Speaker 2: do is you have transparency and put a little more

84
00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:45,320
Speaker 2: to sunlight on the process. It's the best disinfectant, so

85
00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:49,760
Speaker 2: I said yesterday, Look, it's preliminary to talk about suing them.

86
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:52,160
Speaker 2: I think what we want to focus on, let's get

87
00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:53,880
Speaker 2: to the bottom of it. But I will say this,

88
00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:58,800
Speaker 2: if the nc DOUBLEA doesn't act in a transparent manner,

89
00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:01,960
Speaker 2: then they're going to lose a lot credibility nationally. To me,

90
00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:04,719
Speaker 2: that's the important part of the process. That's why a

91
00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:08,240
Speaker 2: governor gets involved, because a governor is standing up for

92
00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:12,440
Speaker 2: the state university in his state and ensuring that people

93
00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:14,719
Speaker 2: know this is a lot of money's at stake, a

94
00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:16,719
Speaker 2: lot of prides at stake, a lot of hard works

95
00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:19,520
Speaker 2: at state and it's got to change. But we've said, look,

96
00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:22,720
Speaker 2: we're not going to talk about litigation until we get

97
00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:25,560
Speaker 2: to the other point. And I found that that's the

98
00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:29,400
Speaker 2: better approach. And that's why I'm just asking and pressing

99
00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:34,400
Speaker 2: the NCAA to respond to this, because if they don't,

100
00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:36,960
Speaker 2: it's clear they have something to hide.

101
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:40,839
Speaker 1: All fifty states listen to this program right now. Everybody

102
00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:44,200
Speaker 1: in the state of West Virginia is saying, heck, yeah, governor,

103
00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:46,559
Speaker 1: you've got our back. Some people in the other forty

104
00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:48,880
Speaker 1: nine states who are not mountaineer fans, to be fair,

105
00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:52,000
Speaker 1: they're mountaineer fans everywhere it's a great university, great fan base.

106
00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:57,359
Speaker 1: Are saying, man, should in the political process anybody really

107
00:05:57,400 --> 00:06:00,920
Speaker 1: get involved in who ends up in the Ends tournament.

108
00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:04,359
Speaker 1: I'm sure you've heard this already. Isn't there something else

109
00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:08,719
Speaker 1: for West Virginia's governor and elected officials to be concerned about?

110
00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:10,520
Speaker 1: How would you respond to that criticism?

111
00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:13,160
Speaker 2: Well, a couple of things. First of all, for all

112
00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:16,320
Speaker 2: those saying that there's some blowhards out there that talk

113
00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:19,000
Speaker 2: about this, but they don't know one, you can walk

114
00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:21,719
Speaker 2: and shoe gum at the same time. The second point,

115
00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:25,479
Speaker 2: I would say, if you want to effectuate change, you

116
00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:28,560
Speaker 2: actually have to do something. Do you think that if

117
00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:32,240
Speaker 2: anyone's saying that, do they think that it's acceptable to

118
00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:35,520
Speaker 2: have something that smells so bad and no one's going

119
00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:38,600
Speaker 2: to address it? So maybe you shine a little spotlight

120
00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:41,839
Speaker 2: on it. And I know in the past by taking

121
00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:45,880
Speaker 2: this approach, we've caused change to happen. So we talked

122
00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:48,839
Speaker 2: about the transfer eligibility rule. You know, we know that

123
00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:52,200
Speaker 2: nil happened in the past because people spoke out, and

124
00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:56,920
Speaker 2: in West Virginia this is really a big deal that

125
00:06:57,240 --> 00:07:01,360
Speaker 2: we take our sports seriously. We take w seriously. In fact,

126
00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:05,080
Speaker 2: We put a lot of resources invest in w every

127
00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:09,920
Speaker 2: single year, and when someone makes the cutter doesn't that matters.

128
00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:12,880
Speaker 2: But it's not that we're trying to say that we

129
00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:15,840
Speaker 2: deserve it more than others. What we're saying is when

130
00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:20,000
Speaker 2: the process is tainted, it calls into question what's going on.

131
00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:23,880
Speaker 2: And we're a participant in the process. We're a grinded

132
00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:27,240
Speaker 2: out school, hard workers, and we're not asking for any

133
00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:31,280
Speaker 2: special treatment. We're just asking for the future. We need

134
00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:33,920
Speaker 2: the process to be a lot more clear. So if

135
00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:37,080
Speaker 2: you know that it's about quad win wins and great,

136
00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:40,520
Speaker 2: is it about ten palms? Hey? Great? Is it about

137
00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:43,200
Speaker 2: net rankings? Or is it about an eye test? If

138
00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:46,080
Speaker 2: it's about an eye test, who is sitting in there

139
00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:49,520
Speaker 2: and are their potential conflicts of interest? How are those

140
00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:54,760
Speaker 2: processes raising? These are very reasonable things to raise, and

141
00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:58,320
Speaker 2: I'm not sure why people would be taking the opposite approach,

142
00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:02,040
Speaker 2: but it's important for anyone. You know, I'm a sports

143
00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:05,000
Speaker 2: fan just like anyone else. I care about this stuff.

144
00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:07,960
Speaker 2: And you know, we're not talking about any extreme measures.

145
00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:11,520
Speaker 2: We're just drawing attention to something that matters for our state,

146
00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:15,400
Speaker 2: or frankly matters for a lot of American sports fans.

147
00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:18,960
Speaker 1: Governor, we appreciate the time. Will you still fill out

148
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:21,520
Speaker 1: a bracket or are you boycotting the brackets?

149
00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:25,520
Speaker 2: Listen, I think that we're gonna fill out a bracket,

150
00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:29,120
Speaker 2: but I'm gonna tell you this, wu We're gonna get

151
00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:32,319
Speaker 2: ready for our comeback. And you watch next year our

152
00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:37,199
Speaker 2: basketball team with Coach DeVries, our football team with Rich Rod.

153
00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:40,440
Speaker 2: He always tells his players come with a whole, cold,

154
00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:43,800
Speaker 2: hard edge. That's what we're doing in West Virginia. We're

155
00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:47,160
Speaker 2: speaking out against the efforts sometimes that these blue bloods

156
00:08:47,160 --> 00:08:49,440
Speaker 2: have and they try to keep us down. We're not

158
00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:54,880
Speaker 1: Governor, we appreciate the time. Thank you, Governor Patrick Morsey

160
00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:03,920
Speaker 1: Did you have any idea that this controversy had arisen

161
00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:06,320
Speaker 1: as you prepare to fill out You already filled out

162
00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:09,280
Speaker 1: your whole bracket as you prepare for the NCAA tournament.

163
00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:11,720
Speaker 3: Clay, I was basically flipping a coin to fill up

164
00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:14,040
Speaker 3: my bracket yesterday. I have no idea and no idea

165
00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:16,200
Speaker 3: what you guys are talking about, and I just wish

166
00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:19,559
Speaker 3: all the best of the fans of WVU who feel

167
00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:21,480
Speaker 3: like they got the short.

168
00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:22,520
Speaker 4: End of the stick on this one.

169
00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:25,000
Speaker 1: All right, buck, We've got two listener talkbacks that I

170
00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:29,080
Speaker 1: want to play here. This is the wide range of

171
00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:32,040
Speaker 1: topics that we have had on the show. The first

172
00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:36,600
Speaker 1: one is from an unnamed listener in San Antonio, angry

173
00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:39,880
Speaker 1: at me for presuming that you had to have both

174
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:44,680
Speaker 1: roosters and hens if you wanted to have eggs. Listen

175
00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:48,000
Speaker 1: to BB here boy, a couple of CURTI fall, can't

176
00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:50,959
Speaker 1: you You don't get a rooster if you want to

177
00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:51,960
Speaker 1: just have eggs.

178
00:09:52,440 --> 00:09:55,640
Speaker 3: The only reason you get roosters because you want more chickens.

179
00:09:56,720 --> 00:10:01,319
Speaker 3: All right, So well I was, well, excuse use me, sir,

180
00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:04,880
Speaker 3: I will have you know that also a rooster provides

181
00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:10,840
Speaker 3: protection for the chickens against raccoons and foxes and other predators,

182
00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:14,080
Speaker 3: so it does not, in fact, just to make more chickens.

183
00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:17,560
Speaker 4: The city folk have access to the internet too, all.

184
00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:20,520
Speaker 1: Right, So here's the question. Do most people who have

185
00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:24,120
Speaker 1: hens not have a rooster? Because I would think that

186
00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:28,360
Speaker 1: you would have some protection and or want more egg

187
00:10:28,840 --> 00:10:31,800
Speaker 1: chicks to be able to be developed. Going for I

188
00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:32,199
Speaker 1: don't know.

189
00:10:32,120 --> 00:10:35,320
Speaker 3: Again, my in laws, I mean, it's a little sad

190
00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:37,880
Speaker 3: they had. There was an incident. Yeah, there was an

191
00:10:37,880 --> 00:10:41,000
Speaker 3: incident where a raccoon got into the chicken coop and uh,

192
00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:42,000
Speaker 3: it was.

193
00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:44,400
Speaker 4: It was rough. It gets messy real fast. You don't

194
00:10:44,440 --> 00:10:47,240
Speaker 4: realize how nasty those raccoons can be. Man, it was.

195
00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:50,200
Speaker 3: It took out the hens. It was like a chicken

196
00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:54,240
Speaker 3: blender in there. Yeah it right, oh man, armageddon for

197
00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:56,480
Speaker 3: the chickens. All right, So there people wanted to come

198
00:10:56,480 --> 00:11:00,720
Speaker 3: after me over roosters. Now somebody's angry because not supportive

199
00:11:00,800 --> 00:11:04,120
Speaker 3: enough along with Ubuck of Ukraine and he's furious. This

200
00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:07,120
Speaker 3: is New York City listener on WR here he is.

201
00:11:07,240 --> 00:11:10,720
Speaker 5: You have no idea what's going on in Ukraine. Ukraine

202
00:11:10,920 --> 00:11:15,400
Speaker 5: is an innocent victim of Putin's aggression and desire to

203
00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:19,440
Speaker 5: rebuild the Soviet Empire. They are simply defending their land.

204
00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:23,160
Speaker 5: Wouldn't you do the same thing? What if Tennessee were

205
00:11:23,200 --> 00:11:26,760
Speaker 5: invaded or Florida? Would you just lay down and say, oh,

206
00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:30,040
Speaker 5: we have too many people dying, let's just give it up.

207
00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:31,840
Speaker 2: Why not screw you?

208
00:11:33,280 --> 00:11:34,000
Speaker 1: Screw us?

209
00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:34,679
Speaker 2: All right?

210
00:11:34,800 --> 00:11:37,360
Speaker 1: Well, so my question would just be what is his answer,

211
00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:40,000
Speaker 1: like we should we actually fight the war ourselves.

212
00:11:41,280 --> 00:11:44,800
Speaker 4: Well, no, I mean nothing that we have said.

213
00:11:44,840 --> 00:11:47,600
Speaker 3: I've never said that Putin wasn't the aggressor we say

214
00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:49,160
Speaker 3: he's a bad guy. But see, this is when people

215
00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:53,000
Speaker 3: make this an emotional argument instead of a national security argument.

216
00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:56,880
Speaker 3: Do you have pathways here? You can continue to fund

217
00:11:57,040 --> 00:12:00,840
Speaker 3: a Ukrainian war machine that is run out of people,

218
00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:04,800
Speaker 3: which is true, and not going to gain back any

219
00:12:04,840 --> 00:12:09,280
Speaker 3: more territory than it currently has except through negotiation, which

220
00:12:09,320 --> 00:12:14,040
Speaker 3: is true, or you know you can I don't know,

221
00:12:14,120 --> 00:12:17,120
Speaker 3: you can continue on the current pathway. You know, you

222
00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:18,920
Speaker 3: can either negotiate an end of this thing, you can

223
00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:21,240
Speaker 3: continue doing what it's doing. The fact that there are

224
00:12:21,280 --> 00:12:24,160
Speaker 3: bad people who have done bad things here doesn't change

225
00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:27,280
Speaker 3: the realities on the ground of what they face. I

226
00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:29,760
Speaker 3: don't know why I've never I mean anyway, some people

227
00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:31,000
Speaker 3: they get very op.

228
00:12:30,679 --> 00:12:32,520
Speaker 1: I mean, this isn't I just want to play it

229
00:12:32,559 --> 00:12:36,439
Speaker 1: because it is like this idea, my argument, and we

230
00:12:36,640 --> 00:12:40,360
Speaker 1: should Native Americans still, Like should Native Americans be running

231
00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:42,800
Speaker 1: around doing suicide bombings because we took their land?

232
00:12:43,080 --> 00:12:45,280
Speaker 3: I mean think about that for a second, right, I mean,

233
00:12:45,559 --> 00:12:47,920
Speaker 3: at what point, at some point you've lost right, at

234
00:12:47,920 --> 00:12:51,960
Speaker 3: some point you can't win, So what do you want

235
00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:53,319
Speaker 3: to do unless you're going to make the case that

236
00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:56,760
Speaker 3: Ukraine can beat Russia, which is insane. You have to

237
00:12:56,760 --> 00:12:58,800
Speaker 3: have this thing end and you have to negotiate an

238
00:12:58,840 --> 00:13:01,960
Speaker 3: end to the conflict. Otherwise you're just letting people die.

239
00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:04,959
Speaker 3: And it's very easy for people sitting wherever they are

240
00:13:04,960 --> 00:13:07,320
Speaker 3: in this country to say, yeah, you know, it's the

241
00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:11,040
Speaker 3: brave resistance. People are being chewed up by machine gun

242
00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:14,720
Speaker 3: fire and artillery rounds every day for what that's the

243
00:13:14,880 --> 00:13:17,320
Speaker 3: argument I don't really get. I get the argument of

244
00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:21,640
Speaker 3: O Putin's a bad guy, okay, but the war cannot

245
00:13:21,640 --> 00:13:25,280
Speaker 3: be won by Ukraine. I haven't heard anybody say Ukraine's

246
00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:28,560
Speaker 3: going to win the war. If you accept that as

247
00:13:28,640 --> 00:13:31,240
Speaker 3: a reality, even left wingers are like, yeah, they're not

248
00:13:31,280 --> 00:13:32,000
Speaker 3: going to win the war.

249
00:13:32,440 --> 00:13:35,840
Speaker 1: Then what is your solution? That they just continue to

250
00:13:35,880 --> 00:13:40,640
Speaker 1: fight sort of forever, which honestly probably benefits Russia because

251
00:13:40,679 --> 00:13:45,240
Speaker 1: they're just going to inexorably be slowly advancing across Ukraine's territory.

252
00:13:45,559 --> 00:13:49,520
Speaker 1: There isn't a counter argument to let's end the war.

253
00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:53,720
Speaker 1: And I understand, like screw, so you're you know, got angry,

254
00:13:53,720 --> 00:13:59,280
Speaker 1: emotional responses. But I haven't heard a rational, coherent, not

255
00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:03,720
Speaker 1: emotional response about how to end this war. If you

256
00:14:03,840 --> 00:14:06,480
Speaker 1: disagree with us of the opinion that there needs to

257
00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:09,400
Speaker 1: be a ceasefire and a broker piece that will involve

258
00:14:09,840 --> 00:14:13,120
Speaker 1: Russia getting some land. Sometimes bad guys and they were

259
00:14:13,160 --> 00:14:16,240
Speaker 1: the aggressor, they were the bad guy benefit from war.

260
00:14:16,400 --> 00:14:18,560
Speaker 1: That's not unheard of. That, in fact, is much of

261
00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:21,200
Speaker 1: the history of the world. So eventually this thing has

262
00:14:21,240 --> 00:14:21,560
Speaker 1: to end.

263
00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:24,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, look at all the countries that fell

264
00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:29,640
Speaker 3: to communism that shouldn't have but that did through violence.

265
00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:32,880
Speaker 3: And you know, eventually that's just where things are.

266
00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:35,080
Speaker 4: We go. Okay, sorry, you.

267
00:14:35,040 --> 00:14:41,800
Speaker 3: Know China's you know now one Jenkai Czech lost.

268
00:14:41,880 --> 00:14:43,200
Speaker 4: I mean, things happen.

269
00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:44,520
Speaker 3: I don't know what to say, Like, you have to

270
00:14:44,560 --> 00:14:47,520
Speaker 3: deal with the reality as it stands before you and

271
00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:49,880
Speaker 3: I come back to the same thing, which is, okay,

272
00:14:49,920 --> 00:14:52,800
Speaker 3: what's the what's the better plan? The better plan is

273
00:14:52,800 --> 00:14:54,280
Speaker 3: to just keep funding this thing, so we have to

274
00:14:54,320 --> 00:14:55,720
Speaker 3: keep writing checks for this thing forever.

275
00:14:56,320 --> 00:15:00,760
Speaker 1: Yes, that's according to our unnamed listener Wor who says

276
00:15:00,800 --> 00:15:03,240
Speaker 1: that we are need to be screwed, and not a

277
00:15:03,240 --> 00:15:07,600
Speaker 1: good way screw us. But you know what is going

278

00:16:56,600 --> 00:16:58,760

Speaker 2: You?

317
00:17:01,800 --> 00:17:05,719
Speaker 3: Well, well, rita different strokes for different folks. You know,

318
00:17:05,880 --> 00:17:09,080
Speaker 3: I think that pickles are one of those things that

319
00:17:09,119 --> 00:17:12,160
Speaker 3: should be left off burgers unless you opt. In some

320
00:17:12,240 --> 00:17:14,480
Speaker 3: places they just put the pickles on the burgers, And

321
00:17:14,560 --> 00:17:18,280
Speaker 3: I don't want some weird vegetable. That's throw a little

322
00:17:18,720 --> 00:17:21,439
Speaker 3: slimy vegetable thrown on top of my delicious burger.

323
00:17:21,520 --> 00:17:24,920
Speaker 1: Clay, Oh, pickles are amazing. I think it's the perfect

324
00:17:24,920 --> 00:17:27,240
Speaker 1: condiment to kind of just set off the Chick fil

325
00:17:27,240 --> 00:17:29,760
Speaker 1: a sandwich. I think you're a communist if you take

326
00:17:29,800 --> 00:17:33,520
Speaker 1: the pickle off the Chick fil a sandwich or the hamburger.

327
00:17:33,640 --> 00:17:36,480
Speaker 1: I was it Rita who called in. I'm with her.

00:19:21,840 --> 00:19:23,440
Speaker 1: I wanted to get your take first if I could,

361
00:19:23,480 --> 00:19:26,919
Speaker 1: before we dive into the book, which everyone should go

362
00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:29,920
Speaker 1: get a copy of. I know it's doing great so far.

363
00:19:30,880 --> 00:19:34,240
Speaker 3: The end of the ceasefire in Israel and the new

364
00:19:34,440 --> 00:19:37,400
Speaker 3: posture or the renewed posture perhaps toward Hamas.

365
00:19:37,400 --> 00:19:38,159
Speaker 4: What do you make of it?

366
00:19:39,800 --> 00:19:41,960
Speaker 7: Well, but great to join you in Thanks for the

367
00:19:41,960 --> 00:19:46,119
Speaker 7: book support. Look to me, the ball is clearly in

368
00:19:46,160 --> 00:19:49,240
Speaker 7: benjaminten Yahu's court, Buck, I mean Donald Trump is all

369
00:19:49,240 --> 00:19:51,920
Speaker 7: in for us as relations. He's used the rhetoric of

370
00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:54,680
Speaker 7: give them hell to pay. He's made it very clear

371
00:19:54,720 --> 00:19:56,720
Speaker 7: that he and his cabinet are going to stand shoulder

372
00:19:56,760 --> 00:19:59,600
Speaker 7: to shoulder with the Israeli governments when it comes to diplomacy,

373
00:19:59,600 --> 00:20:01,399
Speaker 7: when it comes to the military, when it comes to

374
00:20:01,480 --> 00:20:05,240
Speaker 7: trying to eradicate the entirety of the Hamas political and

375
00:20:05,280 --> 00:20:09,480
Speaker 7: military cancer from the Gaza's trip. So for some weeks now, Buck,

376
00:20:09,560 --> 00:20:12,520
Speaker 7: I've been saying the ball is in Antityahu's court. I

377
00:20:12,600 --> 00:20:15,800
Speaker 7: mean Biebe has basically lived his entire adult life for

378
00:20:15,920 --> 00:20:18,600
Speaker 7: moments just like this. He has led his entire adult

379
00:20:18,680 --> 00:20:21,240
Speaker 7: life to wait for the opportunity to go in and

380
00:20:21,280 --> 00:20:23,200
Speaker 7: do what needs to be done, so to speak, whether

381
00:20:23,200 --> 00:20:25,960
Speaker 7: it's in Gaza, whether it's in Lebanon and has Ballah

382
00:20:26,040 --> 00:20:28,480
Speaker 7: he did that partially last summer actually, or whether it's

383
00:20:28,560 --> 00:20:30,640
Speaker 7: really the grand threat of all in the region, which

384
00:20:30,640 --> 00:20:35,000
Speaker 7: of course is the Islamus regime in Tehran. So I'm

385
00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:37,800
Speaker 7: not surprised that the ceasefire broke. Frankly, Hamas only has

386
00:20:37,840 --> 00:20:41,600
Speaker 7: it self to blame. I mean, with a medieval Islamis

387
00:20:41,720 --> 00:20:44,320
Speaker 7: death cult, they had any number of opportunities to avoid

388
00:20:44,359 --> 00:20:47,600
Speaker 7: this outcome. They completely brought this upon themselves, and frankly,

389
00:20:47,880 --> 00:20:49,840
Speaker 7: this is a necessary thing that has to happen or

390
00:20:49,880 --> 00:20:52,320
Speaker 7: if there to be any resolution whatsoever in the region.

391
00:20:53,640 --> 00:20:55,639
Speaker 1: Congrats on the book. I know all the work that

392
00:20:55,720 --> 00:20:57,520
Speaker 1: goes into that. I hope you're having a good time

393
00:20:57,600 --> 00:21:02,160
Speaker 1: with it officially being out. What is the ultimate goal

394
00:21:02,320 --> 00:21:06,119
Speaker 1: do you think when it comes to Gaza? What should happen,

395
00:21:06,320 --> 00:21:10,440
Speaker 1: what's likely to happen, what does history suggest should happen.

396
00:21:10,720 --> 00:21:13,200
Speaker 7: It looks like Donald Trump has a certain vision in mind.

397
00:21:13,240 --> 00:21:15,679
Speaker 7: I mean, he wants the United States to take over Gaza.

398
00:21:15,720 --> 00:21:17,560
Speaker 7: I will I'll be honest with you, that was not

399
00:21:17,640 --> 00:21:20,240
Speaker 7: on my personal bingo card. I'm not sure that, frankly,

400
00:21:20,280 --> 00:21:22,719
Speaker 7: that it was on Bibi Netsa Nyahu's bingo card. I mean,

401
00:21:22,720 --> 00:21:24,720
Speaker 7: you look at his facial expression at the joint press

402
00:21:24,720 --> 00:21:27,760
Speaker 7: conference when Donald Trump announced that to the world. It

403
00:21:27,840 --> 00:21:30,440
Speaker 7: was quite humorous to look at the way that Netanyahu

404
00:21:30,600 --> 00:21:33,639
Speaker 7: and the Israeli officials in the room reacted to that.

405
00:21:34,080 --> 00:21:36,960
Speaker 7: I'm open to being persuaded of that. That's not entirely

406
00:21:37,080 --> 00:21:39,320
Speaker 7: what my first guest would have been, Buck. Look in

407
00:21:39,640 --> 00:21:41,840
Speaker 7: my heart of hearts, I would love to see the

408
00:21:41,920 --> 00:21:44,639
Speaker 7: Arabs there find a permanent home in Jordan or Egypt,

409
00:21:44,640 --> 00:21:47,119
Speaker 7: which seems to be Donald Trump's preferred approach, and for

410
00:21:47,280 --> 00:21:49,600
Speaker 7: Israel to go ahead and take it over. Realistically speaking,

411
00:21:49,640 --> 00:21:51,840
Speaker 7: I think the most likely way that this ultimately ends

412
00:21:52,200 --> 00:21:54,520
Speaker 7: is you get some sort of consortium of the more

413
00:21:54,640 --> 00:21:58,800
Speaker 7: moderate Sunni Arab states, the Saudis and Moradis, Bahraini's, maybe

414
00:21:58,880 --> 00:22:00,679
Speaker 7: the Egyptians if the willing to play ball, and they

415
00:22:00,760 --> 00:22:02,760
Speaker 7: kind of go in there jointly together and try to

416
00:22:02,800 --> 00:22:06,200
Speaker 7: make sure that Islamism and jihadism will not be the

417
00:22:06,280 --> 00:22:09,160
Speaker 7: way forward there. But that's going to entail some sort

418
00:22:09,359 --> 00:22:12,240
Speaker 7: of American Israeli or some sort of joint presence there

419
00:22:12,359 --> 00:22:16,439
Speaker 7: even with that, because frankly, even these guys, the more

420
00:22:16,520 --> 00:22:19,000
Speaker 7: moderate forces, I'm not sure just how much we can

421
00:22:19,040 --> 00:22:19,840
Speaker 7: trust them for the mid.

422
00:22:19,760 --> 00:22:20,199
Speaker 4: To long term.

423
00:22:20,720 --> 00:22:23,119
Speaker 1: Josh. For people who don't know, I was over in

424
00:22:23,320 --> 00:22:28,240
Speaker 1: Israel in December, the amount of Immen's popularity for Trump

425
00:22:28,400 --> 00:22:31,320
Speaker 1: in Israel is off the charts. In fact, Trump, if

426
00:22:31,359 --> 00:22:34,679
Speaker 1: they Israel had had a vote in the American presidential election,

427
00:22:35,280 --> 00:22:38,719
Speaker 1: would have won like he did in West Virginia or Wyoming.

428
00:22:39,520 --> 00:22:42,560
Speaker 1: What do you think Israeli's believe when they see that

429
00:22:42,680 --> 00:22:46,040
Speaker 1: Trump is being attacked by Democrats here as Hitler.

430
00:22:48,119 --> 00:22:50,720
Speaker 7: Well, Clay, I'll tell you exactly what Israelis believed, because

431
00:22:50,760 --> 00:22:52,760
Speaker 7: I happened to be married to one, and I happened

432
00:22:52,760 --> 00:22:55,159
Speaker 7: to have in laws here in Florida where I live.

433
00:22:55,400 --> 00:22:55,919
Speaker 1: Who are them?

434
00:22:56,200 --> 00:23:00,600
Speaker 7: And I taught them every day. The Israeli people are

435
00:23:00,800 --> 00:23:04,080
Speaker 7: about the trumpiest people in the basically the entire world.

436
00:23:04,119 --> 00:23:06,160
Speaker 7: I'm not sure if there's a single foreign country where

437
00:23:06,200 --> 00:23:08,159
Speaker 7: Trump has a higher approval rating than the state of

438
00:23:08,280 --> 00:23:10,800
Speaker 7: Israel for a very clear and compelling reasons, which is

439
00:23:10,800 --> 00:23:13,120
Speaker 7: that Donald Trump is the most pro Israel. Frankly, he's

440
00:23:13,119 --> 00:23:17,359
Speaker 7: the most pro Jewish president in American history there. And

441
00:23:17,440 --> 00:23:20,000
Speaker 7: you know, this is something of an issue that I

442
00:23:20,040 --> 00:23:22,160
Speaker 7: think a lot of people here, even on the Rights

443
00:23:22,560 --> 00:23:26,120
Speaker 7: don't fully understand, is how can American Jews vote disproportionately

444
00:23:26,200 --> 00:23:29,480
Speaker 7: so much for the Democratic Party while Israeli Jews are

445
00:23:30,040 --> 00:23:33,080
Speaker 7: so supportive of the Republican person in this case, that

446
00:23:33,480 --> 00:23:35,560
Speaker 7: would be Donald Trump. I actually talked about that quite

447
00:23:35,600 --> 00:23:37,520
Speaker 7: a bit in the book Israel and Civilization, and it's

448
00:23:37,560 --> 00:23:40,520
Speaker 7: maybe a longer and more complicated conversation there, but the

449
00:23:40,600 --> 00:23:43,480
Speaker 7: Israeli people in general are emphatically pro Trump. They even

450
00:23:43,560 --> 00:23:45,880
Speaker 7: named the town after him. Claid, there's literally a town

451
00:23:45,960 --> 00:23:49,600
Speaker 7: in the Goal On Heights called Trump Heights. Ramat Trump

452
00:23:49,640 --> 00:23:52,040
Speaker 7: would be the Hebrew word. I know it because I've

453
00:23:52,080 --> 00:23:54,320
Speaker 7: been there. I actually drove by, got out of the car,

454
00:23:54,440 --> 00:23:55,920
Speaker 7: took a selfie on the side of the road there

455
00:23:55,960 --> 00:23:57,480
Speaker 7: with the road signed Ramat Trump.

456
00:23:58,119 --> 00:23:59,359
Speaker 1: So they're all in.

457
00:23:59,440 --> 00:24:02,600
Speaker 7: They're all in for President Trump there, and as they should,

458
00:24:02,600 --> 00:24:04,800
Speaker 7: because Donald Trump is deeply supportive of the state of Israel.

459
00:24:05,200 --> 00:24:07,200
Speaker 3: All right, let's talk about the book Josh out today,

460
00:24:07,240 --> 00:24:10,119
Speaker 3: Israel and Civilization, The fate of the Jewish Nation and

461
00:24:10,200 --> 00:24:12,520
Speaker 3: the destiny of the West by Josh Hammer. What do

462
00:24:12,560 --> 00:24:14,239
Speaker 3: people need to know and why should they pick up

463
00:24:14,240 --> 00:24:14,600
Speaker 3: their copy?

464
00:24:16,720 --> 00:24:21,080
Speaker 7: So Buck, the book Israel and Civilization, both fortunately and unfortunately,

465
00:24:21,119 --> 00:24:23,560
Speaker 7: I think could not possibly be timelier. I'm a little biased,

466
00:24:23,560 --> 00:24:26,080
Speaker 7: but I happen to think that it is very timely.

467
00:24:26,640 --> 00:24:29,440
Speaker 7: On the one hand, Buck, you have the woke left,

468
00:24:29,480 --> 00:24:33,320
Speaker 7: which is obviously a horrific, cancerous actor. But there is

469
00:24:33,359 --> 00:24:37,639
Speaker 7: an increasing portion even of people on the nominal rights,

470
00:24:37,720 --> 00:24:40,680
Speaker 7: not a loud portion, but there are some people that

471
00:24:40,960 --> 00:24:43,760
Speaker 7: are really calling for the US to abandon Israel, and Frankly,

472
00:24:43,840 --> 00:24:45,639
Speaker 7: I think, deep down on these people's hearts, what they

473
00:24:45,680 --> 00:24:48,760
Speaker 7: really want to do is ultimately to convince American Christians

474
00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:51,159
Speaker 7: to just leave the Jewish shade and leave the Jewish

475
00:24:51,160 --> 00:24:53,560
Speaker 7: people behind. So I took upon myself to write this

476
00:24:53,640 --> 00:24:56,920
Speaker 7: book basically calling for Jews and Christians alike to lock

477
00:24:57,080 --> 00:24:59,440
Speaker 7: arms and stand shoulder to shoulder like never before, and

478
00:24:59,520 --> 00:25:02,960
Speaker 7: to fall in love with the biblical inheritance again, because

479
00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:06,639
Speaker 7: it actually is that ecumenical biblical inheritance that Frankly founded

480
00:25:06,680 --> 00:25:10,040
Speaker 7: this country, going back in seventeen seventy six, Thomas Jefferson,

481
00:25:10,119 --> 00:25:13,000
Speaker 7: Benjamin Franklin, they wanted the national seal of the United

482
00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:15,919
Speaker 7: States to be Moses parting the Red Sea. Abraham Lincoln,

483
00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:19,359
Speaker 7: my own favorite figure in American history, described famously Americans

484
00:25:19,400 --> 00:25:22,679
Speaker 7: as an almost chosen people, using that covenantal language from

485
00:25:22,720 --> 00:25:25,479
Speaker 7: the Hebrew Bible. The Liberty Bell in Philadelphia literally has

486
00:25:25,680 --> 00:25:28,760
Speaker 7: a scriptural quote from the Book of Leviticus right on

487
00:25:28,840 --> 00:25:29,560
Speaker 7: the outside of it.

488
00:25:29,640 --> 00:25:29,800
Speaker 2: There.

489
00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:33,080
Speaker 7: So the book is kind of painstakingly arguing that's so

490
00:25:33,320 --> 00:25:35,160
Speaker 7: much what we take for granted today when it comes

491
00:25:35,200 --> 00:25:38,280
Speaker 7: to our law, politics, morals, ethics, and so forth, really

492
00:25:38,359 --> 00:25:41,280
Speaker 7: does go back to scripture and that we cannot abandon that.

493
00:25:41,520 --> 00:25:43,439
Speaker 7: But the book is also relevant buff because I make

494
00:25:43,520 --> 00:25:48,000
Speaker 7: a very clear MAGA America first, hard headed realist case

495
00:25:48,320 --> 00:25:52,000
Speaker 7: for US Israel relations and the importance of US Israel ties.

496
00:25:52,280 --> 00:25:54,080
Speaker 7: You have a lot of people that are screaming, oh,

497
00:25:54,160 --> 00:25:56,520
Speaker 7: the Israel issue. Oh, it's an old neo coon, neo

498
00:25:56,600 --> 00:25:59,600
Speaker 7: conservative issue. It's an old Bush administration, Dick Cheney, Don

499
00:25:59,680 --> 00:26:02,320
Speaker 7: Rum's issue. And I'm sorry, but the answer is no,

500
00:26:02,600 --> 00:26:04,600
Speaker 7: that's not what it is. Donald Trump is not a

501
00:26:04,680 --> 00:26:07,040
Speaker 7: neo consernive. He is a foreign policy realist, and he's

502
00:26:07,040 --> 00:26:09,760
Speaker 7: the most pro Israel president in American history there if

503
00:26:09,800 --> 00:26:13,239
Speaker 7: you want to focus disroportionately on China, which I think

504
00:26:13,280 --> 00:26:15,760
Speaker 7: America needs to do, because again I'm a realist who

505
00:26:15,760 --> 00:26:18,520
Speaker 7: believes limited resources. The question is, how do you secure

506
00:26:18,560 --> 00:26:21,560
Speaker 7: American interest in the Middle East while allowing you to

507
00:26:22,040 --> 00:26:25,760
Speaker 7: extra kate resources to the Indo Pacific. And the obvious answer,

508
00:26:26,040 --> 00:26:28,880
Speaker 7: which Trump and BB got to in the Abrahamic Coords,

509
00:26:28,920 --> 00:26:31,520
Speaker 7: is to empower and embolden our allies in the region,

510
00:26:31,600 --> 00:26:33,680
Speaker 7: to secure that region in a way that redounds to

511
00:26:33,760 --> 00:26:36,560
Speaker 7: all of our interests. So I think that this explicitly

512
00:26:36,800 --> 00:26:40,360
Speaker 7: realist case for us' relations is very timely and very important.

513
00:26:40,480 --> 00:26:42,680
Speaker 7: But it's all in there Israel and civilization, the fate

514
00:26:42,720 --> 00:26:45,120
Speaker 7: of the Jewish nation, and the destiny of the West Amazon,

515
00:26:45,200 --> 00:26:46,600
Speaker 7: Barnes and Noble, wherever you get your.

516
00:26:46,480 --> 00:26:50,800
Speaker 1: Books, Josha, when you look at the history, and I

517
00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:52,600
Speaker 1: got your book and I was looking through it, and

518
00:26:52,640 --> 00:26:55,159
Speaker 1: I was fascinated, because again I just came back from Israel.

519
00:26:55,600 --> 00:26:59,160
Speaker 1: How optimistic are you about peace in the Middle East?

520
00:26:59,280 --> 00:27:03,439
Speaker 1: Because for thousands of years, obviously it hasn't happened. Are

521
00:27:03,480 --> 00:27:05,800
Speaker 1: you optimistic that in the lifetime of the people that

522
00:27:05,880 --> 00:27:08,000
Speaker 1: are listening to us right now, we could have some

523
00:27:08,240 --> 00:27:09,680
Speaker 1: form of peace in the Middle East.

524
00:27:10,600 --> 00:27:12,639
Speaker 7: Yes, and no, I think that there that there is

525
00:27:12,720 --> 00:27:16,359
Speaker 7: such a thing as a as a more tranquil region,

526
00:27:16,440 --> 00:27:19,040
Speaker 7: as a more peaceful region that is less prone to

527
00:27:19,200 --> 00:27:23,080
Speaker 7: violent eruptions of jihadism. Frankly, Clay, that's ultimately going to take.

528
00:27:23,480 --> 00:27:25,280
Speaker 7: It's gonna have to take the Iranian regime to go,

529
00:27:25,359 --> 00:27:28,119
Speaker 7: because the Irani regime currently is is the head of

530
00:27:28,119 --> 00:27:31,040
Speaker 7: the stake. They are the source of virtually all of

531
00:27:31,119 --> 00:27:33,439
Speaker 7: the violent jiha that goes across the Middle East. Now,

532
00:27:33,520 --> 00:27:35,560
Speaker 7: to be clear, I'm not saying that America needs to

533
00:27:35,640 --> 00:27:38,639
Speaker 7: go and start toppling the Ayatola. That's not my stance.

534
00:27:38,880 --> 00:27:41,479
Speaker 7: But somewhere, some way or another, whether it comes from

535
00:27:41,600 --> 00:27:45,400
Speaker 7: sanctions or the or the Mike Pompeo esque maximum pressure campaign,

536
00:27:45,640 --> 00:27:47,879
Speaker 7: that regime is going to have to go. So at

537
00:27:47,960 --> 00:27:51,359
Speaker 7: some point, God willing in a post Islamic republic aroan

538
00:27:51,480 --> 00:27:54,560
Speaker 7: there where jihad is on the decline, then yes, I

539
00:27:54,560 --> 00:27:56,879
Speaker 7: think the Middle East could be a lot more stable

540
00:27:56,960 --> 00:27:59,320
Speaker 7: than it is today. Has Blah, the Hoho, thys Hamas,

541
00:27:59,400 --> 00:28:01,960
Speaker 7: all these forces would be subdued, if not made completely

542
00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:05,280
Speaker 7: extinct without their major benefactor in Tehran. On the other hand,

543
00:28:06,200 --> 00:28:08,879
Speaker 7: you still do have the issue of Islam, and there

544
00:28:08,920 --> 00:28:11,840
Speaker 7: are very real questions I think are worth asking and

545
00:28:11,920 --> 00:28:15,320
Speaker 7: exploring as to the extent to which Islam will ever itself,

546
00:28:15,680 --> 00:28:19,000
Speaker 7: even any more moderate form, ever be comfortable fully with

547
00:28:19,680 --> 00:28:22,240
Speaker 7: a Jewish state there in the heart of the Middle East.

548
00:28:22,320 --> 00:28:24,240
Speaker 7: And I don't really fully know the answer to that,

549
00:28:24,680 --> 00:28:27,840
Speaker 7: but I do think that after Iran goes and God willing,

550
00:28:27,880 --> 00:28:29,440
Speaker 7: going to be at some point again, not that the

551
00:28:29,560 --> 00:28:31,040
Speaker 7: US has to topple them, but at some point that

552
00:28:31,119 --> 00:28:33,200
Speaker 7: regime is going to have to go at some point, Clay,

553
00:28:33,240 --> 00:28:35,200
Speaker 7: after that, I think things will definitely be better, if

554
00:28:35,240 --> 00:28:35,960
Speaker 7: not fully solved.

555
00:28:36,960 --> 00:28:39,440
Speaker 3: Israel and civilization, the fate of the Jewish nation, and

556
00:28:39,480 --> 00:28:42,040
Speaker 3: the destiny of the West. Josh Hammer is the author.

557
00:28:42,120 --> 00:28:44,600
Speaker 3: Go get your copy of the book today. Hammer time,

558
00:28:44,840 --> 00:28:48,200
Speaker 3: great to have you, my friend. Thanks for being here, gentlemen,

559
00:28:48,240 --> 00:28:48,680
Speaker 3: my pleasure.

560
00:28:48,720 --> 00:28:49,280
Speaker 7: Thank you so much.

561
00:28:50,720 --> 00:28:52,840
Speaker 3: Many people will use the word disruption to describe the

562
00:28:52,880 --> 00:28:55,280
Speaker 3: beginning of twenty twenty five. It's appropriate. We elected a

563
00:28:55,320 --> 00:28:58,280
Speaker 3: president to disrupt the deep state, to remove roadblocks and

564
00:28:58,360 --> 00:29:00,560
Speaker 3: reduce the size of government. There are bound to be

565
00:29:00,600 --> 00:29:03,080
Speaker 3: other disruptions as well, and they could hit the financial markets,

566
00:29:03,120 --> 00:29:05,280
Speaker 3: the housing markets, the whole range of things. So I

567
00:29:05,360 --> 00:29:08,640
Speaker 3: invited somebody with great experience covering the financial markets, somebody

568
00:29:08,720 --> 00:29:11,400
Speaker 3: with a great track record for predictions in this space,

569
00:29:11,800 --> 00:29:13,800
Speaker 3: to talk to me in a videotaped interview that we've

570
00:29:13,840 --> 00:29:16,840
Speaker 3: posted online. While I might have helped to organize the

571
00:29:16,880 --> 00:29:19,959
Speaker 3: online video event, it was my dad, Mason Sexton Senior,

572
00:29:20,120 --> 00:29:23,520
Speaker 3: that made the predictions possible about these disruptions ahead. This

573
00:29:23,680 --> 00:29:26,240
Speaker 3: is my father's area of expertise, the financial markets and

574
00:29:26,320 --> 00:29:28,760
Speaker 3: how they affect everyday Americans. I think you'll find it

575
00:29:28,920 --> 00:29:31,480
Speaker 3: most beneficial. My dad has made his living researching and

576
00:29:31,560 --> 00:29:35,120
Speaker 3: predicting the stock market for decades, and when he is right,

577
00:29:35,200 --> 00:29:37,400
Speaker 3: he is right in a big way. Jewish credit. My

578
00:29:37,440 --> 00:29:39,400
Speaker 3: dad created a name for himself back in the day

579
00:29:39,440 --> 00:29:42,200
Speaker 3: on Wall Street when he called the crash of eighty

580
00:29:42,320 --> 00:29:44,560
Speaker 3: seven in advance on television.

581
00:29:44,920 --> 00:29:46,080
Speaker 4: Still can see the videos of it.

582
00:29:46,680 --> 00:29:48,440
Speaker 3: You can still see his prediction, by the way, his

583
00:29:48,560 --> 00:29:51,520
Speaker 3: forecast for the future that affects you and your finances

Speaker 1: with pickle takes, Pickles and chickens. Pickles and chickens. We've

596
00:30:37,480 --> 00:30:41,080
Speaker 1: covered a saying that we talked about the Nobel Peace Prize,

597
00:30:41,200 --> 00:30:42,960
Speaker 1: we talked about all sorts.

598
00:30:42,760 --> 00:30:46,480
Speaker 3: Of economies, we talked about, you know, the important things.

599
00:30:46,600 --> 00:30:48,880
Speaker 3: It's all about pickles and chickens on the talkbacks.

600
00:30:49,600 --> 00:30:54,520
Speaker 1: That is true. And let's listen to junior up in

601
00:30:54,600 --> 00:30:58,280
Speaker 1: New York City. He has an idea for Buck Hi Clay,

Speaker 1: this is a junior from Long Eyean.

603
00:31:00,560 --> 00:31:00,800
Speaker 2: Fuck.

604
00:31:00,840 --> 00:31:04,640
Speaker 4: Don't eat pickles on his burgers. He's eating pistason cobbler garbage.

605
00:31:05,000 --> 00:31:07,080
Speaker 1: Please take away another one of his man cards for

606

Speaker 1: Buck pro He's right.

609
00:31:14,240 --> 00:31:16,800
Speaker 3: Juniors from Long Island, to be clear, which is almost

610
00:31:16,920 --> 00:31:19,160
Speaker 3: like its own state. But yes, it is nearby to

611
00:31:19,280 --> 00:31:22,080
Speaker 3: New York. And I would just say this junior, it

612
00:31:22,200 --> 00:31:26,360
Speaker 3: was pistachio crem Broulet, not cobbler. Cobblers for peasants.

613
00:31:29,000 --> 00:31:32,600
Speaker 1: How dare you? How did cobbler cobbler is?

614

00:31:51,560 --> 00:31:54,360
Speaker 1: because every now and then, I remember this, this was

620
00:31:54,440 --> 00:31:57,800
Speaker 1: early days of Twitter, uh, before I really understood how

621
00:31:57,840 --> 00:31:59,720
Speaker 1: it worked. This is like two thousand and eight or whatever.

622
00:31:59,760 --> 00:32:01,640
Speaker 1: I have Twitter account, and I was like, man, you know,

623
00:32:01,880 --> 00:32:06,960
Speaker 1: I really love cobbler, like I like all types of cobbler.

624
00:32:07,400 --> 00:32:10,240
Speaker 1: And when I tweet, I think I was like eating

625
00:32:10,320 --> 00:32:12,960
Speaker 1: and I put a picture up or something, and people

626
00:32:13,120 --> 00:32:15,360
Speaker 1: came after me like I was the anti crime. I

627
00:32:15,440 --> 00:32:19,160
Speaker 1: was like, who is anti cobbler? By the way, BlackBerry

628
00:32:19,240 --> 00:32:23,760
Speaker 1: cobbler the best cobbler on the planet, rarely offered, but

629
00:32:24,000 --> 00:32:26,760
Speaker 1: when it is the best of all cobblers. And that

630
00:32:26,960 --> 00:32:29,600
Speaker 1: was kind of my welcome to social media moment, where

631
00:32:29,600 --> 00:32:33,240
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter what opinion you have, there's somebody out

632
00:32:33,280 --> 00:32:36,120
Speaker 1: there that is outraged that you could have that opinion

633
00:32:36,400 --> 00:32:37,920
Speaker 1: that will immediately react.

634
00:32:38,560 --> 00:32:41,200
Speaker 4: But is cobbler not just a poor man's pie? Am

635
00:32:41,240 --> 00:32:42,080
Speaker 4: I missing something?

636
00:32:42,400 --> 00:32:42,720
Speaker 8: Isn't that?

637
00:32:43,200 --> 00:32:46,520
Speaker 4: Isn't that just isn't cobbler poor man's pie? What's the difference?

638
00:32:47,200 --> 00:32:49,520
Speaker 1: Well, now you've kind of blown my mind because I

639
00:32:49,680 --> 00:32:52,040
Speaker 1: never have thought about what the difference is between a

640
00:32:52,160 --> 00:32:54,440
Speaker 1: cobbler and a pie. I mean, I kind of think

641
00:32:54,520 --> 00:32:57,480
Speaker 1: of apple pie and apple cobbler is basically the same thing,

642
00:32:57,640 --> 00:33:00,760
Speaker 1: except a pie is circular and a cobbler tends to

643
00:33:00,880 --> 00:33:04,920
Speaker 1: be rectangular in my experience. So now my mind. Actually,

644
00:33:05,000 --> 00:33:06,800
Speaker 1: you've thrown me for a loop here because I've never

645
00:33:06,880 --> 00:33:10,880
Speaker 1: really thought I think the cobbler has a thicker bread

646
00:33:11,000 --> 00:33:13,720
Speaker 1: based than the typical pie, which is why it's better.

647
00:33:14,120 --> 00:33:17,160
Speaker 1: That would be my on the fly distinction. I don't cook,

648
00:33:17,240 --> 00:33:19,840
Speaker 1: as everyone knows, I've never baked anything in my life.

649
00:33:20,760 --> 00:33:22,680
Speaker 1: If it can't be put in a microwave. I don't

650
00:33:22,760 --> 00:33:25,960
Speaker 1: know how to make it, so I clearly not the

651
00:33:27,680 --> 00:33:32,400
Speaker 1: the sterling knowledgeable person here. Cobble have a crust? Yeah,

652
00:33:32,680 --> 00:33:36,120
Speaker 1: I don't even think I mean that seems like it

653
00:33:36,280 --> 00:33:40,479
Speaker 1: not the right description pie for peasants. Am I am

654
00:33:40,520 --> 00:33:42,200
Speaker 1: I really off on this one. I'm just throwing it

655
00:33:42,240 --> 00:33:42,600
Speaker 1: out there.

656
00:33:42,680 --> 00:33:42,840
Speaker 2: You know.

657
00:33:43,200 --> 00:33:46,200
Speaker 1: The crust I mean is I think oftentimes very overrated

658
00:33:46,280 --> 00:33:49,120
Speaker 1: on the pie might have just come after people in

659
00:33:49,200 --> 00:33:49,960
Speaker 1: an aggressive way.

660
00:33:50,000 --> 00:33:52,480
Speaker 3: Here Big Pie is coming after Clay with that one.

661
00:33:52,560 --> 00:33:54,640
Speaker 3: That is how dare the crust is really where the

662
00:33:54,720 --> 00:33:58,120
Speaker 3: expertise comes in one confession, I was afraid that I

663
00:33:58,240 --> 00:34:01,440
Speaker 3: might be photographed in the midst of this. In Steamboat Springs,

664
00:34:01,960 --> 00:34:04,800
Speaker 3: I took the kids into an ice cream shop.

665
00:34:04,880 --> 00:34:05,080
Speaker 4: Buck.

666
00:34:05,640 --> 00:34:08,080
Speaker 1: There are a bunch of dads there from Dallas that

667
00:34:08,280 --> 00:34:11,360
Speaker 1: listen to the show, So shout out dads from Dallas

668
00:34:11,440 --> 00:34:15,560
Speaker 1: if they hear this. In Steamboat Springs, my kids didn't

669
00:34:15,600 --> 00:34:19,800
Speaker 1: want to get ice cream. I then violated my rule

670
00:34:19,920 --> 00:34:23,480
Speaker 1: on some level. I was a man eating an ice

671
00:34:23,560 --> 00:34:26,480
Speaker 1: cream cone. Nobody else was eating ice cream. Now, I

672
00:34:26,560 --> 00:34:28,960
Speaker 1: think as an exception for alone, though your whole thing

673
00:34:29,080 --> 00:34:31,160
Speaker 1: was you're not a man alone getting it you'd your kids,

674
00:34:31,400 --> 00:34:34,000
Speaker 1: and my kids got like candy, right, they got like

675
00:34:34,120 --> 00:34:37,320
Speaker 1: Reese's pieces, Reese's peanut buttercups, like that was their choice.

676
00:34:38,320 --> 00:34:41,000
Speaker 1: If there were a photo, I don't want AI suggesting

677
00:34:41,400 --> 00:34:43,400
Speaker 1: that I was eating ice cream by myself. I just

678
00:34:43,400 --> 00:34:44,279
Speaker 1: don't want that out there.

679
00:34:44,960 --> 00:34:47,120
Speaker 3: Would what would be worse for you to get caught

680
00:34:47,160 --> 00:34:50,479
Speaker 3: in a photo eating like standing alone in the line

681
00:34:50,520 --> 00:34:53,680
Speaker 3: at the dairy queen with like a mix like chocolate

682
00:34:53,800 --> 00:34:58,840
Speaker 3: vanilla swirl, or or walking through the airport with a

683
00:34:58,920 --> 00:35:03,960
Speaker 3: mask on. Oh mask by far right, I mean, people

684
00:35:04,000 --> 00:35:06,080
Speaker 3: would think that I was pranking them. I think if

685
00:35:06,120 --> 00:35:08,600
Speaker 3: I had a mask on, What if I wore the

686
00:35:08,680 --> 00:35:14,520
Speaker 3: mask on Air Force one in the media section, like, actually.

687
00:35:14,680 --> 00:35:17,680
Speaker 4: I think he might kick you off the plane. I

688
00:35:17,719 --> 00:35:19,839
Speaker 4: think he might be like off the plane, mask man,

689
00:35:20,080 --> 00:35:20,880
Speaker 4: off the plane.

690
00:35:21,360 --> 00:35:23,440
Speaker 1: What if I just sat down with the media with

691
00:35:23,560 --> 00:35:25,759
Speaker 1: a mask on and said, I really wish you guys

692
00:35:25,800 --> 00:35:28,239
Speaker 1: would take the virus more seriously. They're gonna hate me

693
00:35:28,320 --> 00:35:31,080
Speaker 1: in the media anyway. Me wearing a mask in the

694
00:35:31,160 --> 00:35:33,520
Speaker 1: banding that they wear masks on the airplane would be

695
00:35:33,719 --> 00:35:35,040
Speaker 1: I have a mask on.

696
00:35:35,320 --> 00:35:37,239
Speaker 3: I kind of want you to do this In videotape.

697
00:35:37,280 --> 00:35:39,719
Speaker 3: It like go up to the ap reporters like, oh,

698
00:35:39,800 --> 00:35:42,440
Speaker 3: I'm sorry, we don't wear masks anymore here.

699
00:35:44,120 --> 00:35:45,120
Speaker 1: I didn't do this
