1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,320 Speaker 1: Welcome to today's edition of the Clay Travis and Buck 2 00:00:03,360 --> 00:00:07,000 Speaker 1: Sexton Show podcast. The third hour of Clay in Bucks 3 00:00:07,040 --> 00:00:10,440 Speaker 1: starts right now. Everybody, thanks for being here with us. 4 00:00:10,760 --> 00:00:14,000 Speaker 1: Clay on vacation in Italy. I believe he's in Roma 5 00:00:14,280 --> 00:00:18,159 Speaker 1: right now, so our thoughts are with him and his 6 00:00:18,239 --> 00:00:24,079 Speaker 1: family as they are eating some delicious pizza, which we, 7 00:00:24,160 --> 00:00:27,720 Speaker 1: of course in this country call pizza and uh yeah, 8 00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:31,080 Speaker 1: he's having a good time. So we have some updates 9 00:00:31,080 --> 00:00:35,920 Speaker 1: here on the financial financial front for you just to 10 00:00:35,960 --> 00:00:39,080 Speaker 1: keep an eye on all this, because the biggest story 11 00:00:39,120 --> 00:00:40,800 Speaker 1: in the country, and in fact the biggest story in 12 00:00:40,840 --> 00:00:50,560 Speaker 1: the world right now, is the oh rickety unsecure, swaying 13 00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:55,000 Speaker 1: back and forth structure of our banks at this point 14 00:00:55,040 --> 00:01:00,160 Speaker 1: in time, right it's not looking good. It's not looking 15 00:01:00,200 --> 00:01:04,240 Speaker 1: like this is going to head into a healthy direction. 16 00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:08,199 Speaker 1: I thought it was interesting Kevin O'Leary of Shark Tank, 17 00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:10,600 Speaker 1: we played some sound bites from him yesterday. I know 18 00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:15,920 Speaker 1: he was on Sean Show last night and Kevin O'Leary 19 00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:18,840 Speaker 1: had billions of his of dollars of companies he's involved 20 00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:22,240 Speaker 1: with in Silicon Valley Bank. But to his credit, he's like, look, yeah, 21 00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:24,160 Speaker 1: I got money there. I got money all over the place. 22 00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:26,959 Speaker 1: A lot of people have been hit by this. When 23 00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:30,600 Speaker 1: you're talking about two hundred billion dollars of deposits that 24 00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:36,520 Speaker 1: covers a broad swath of territory. I mentioned to you 25 00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:44,120 Speaker 1: the massive Swiss bank credit Suits, which is pleading now 26 00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:47,600 Speaker 1: with the Swiss Central Bank for support. Shares of credit 27 00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:52,200 Speaker 1: Suits have gone down thirty percent. Also Moody's and the 28 00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:59,200 Speaker 1: SMP jumping in with different cuts to the status downgrades 29 00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:01,640 Speaker 1: I should say, to the status of bonds of some 30 00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:04,240 Speaker 1: of these banks. First Republic Bank for example now at 31 00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:10,120 Speaker 1: junks status and the big four banks are in a 32 00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:13,840 Speaker 1: difficult spot for right now. Not not a perilous spot, 33 00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:15,679 Speaker 1: but there there's stocks a little bit down today. Let's 34 00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:17,720 Speaker 1: I don't want to overstate anything here, but the stocks 35 00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:21,800 Speaker 1: are the people are worried. Obviously, people are concerned, and 36 00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:23,239 Speaker 1: I think what you're really going to have to look 37 00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:31,200 Speaker 1: for is the rate hike going up, the hiking rates 38 00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:35,560 Speaker 1: the next time around. If they do that, I think 39 00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:38,239 Speaker 1: you got to assume we're heading into a recession. Probably. 40 00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:43,360 Speaker 1: If they don't do that, well, then we're just gonna 41 00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:46,440 Speaker 1: keep having inflation continue to eat away at your savings 42 00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:49,800 Speaker 1: and make everything more expensive, and there is no good 43 00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:53,919 Speaker 1: option here, and that actually makes sense. And I think 44 00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:56,960 Speaker 1: that's the part of this that's so hard. This is 45 00:02:57,080 --> 00:03:01,800 Speaker 1: the cause and effect portion of our monetary policy and 46 00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:06,360 Speaker 1: our national financial reality, that if you spend too much money, 47 00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:09,480 Speaker 1: you will create inflation. And then if you spend too 48 00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:13,000 Speaker 1: much money and try to bring inflation down by bringing 49 00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:18,200 Speaker 1: interest rates up, you will have a reduction in the 50 00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:22,799 Speaker 1: money supply and economic activity and a likely recession. They 51 00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:24,720 Speaker 1: keep saying, well, if we do it the right way, 52 00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:26,919 Speaker 1: if we just do it just enough, it's going to 53 00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:30,160 Speaker 1: be perfect. There are a lot of assumptions built into that. 54 00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:33,720 Speaker 1: And I think given that we just saw a bank 55 00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:37,160 Speaker 1: run and some bank failures that seemingly came out of nowhere, 56 00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:40,119 Speaker 1: they didn't. Of course, they were growing for a long time, 57 00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:43,120 Speaker 1: but we certainly weren't hearing about it. You got to 58 00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:47,320 Speaker 1: be prepared for what they say, expect the unexpected in 59 00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:53,800 Speaker 1: the financial world, or Rumsfeldian unknown unknowns. Rumsfeld was quite 60 00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:56,480 Speaker 1: a character back in this day, very smart, very impressive guy. 61 00:03:57,880 --> 00:03:59,960 Speaker 1: Rack War didn't turn out the way it was posted, 62 00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:04,960 Speaker 1: but Rumswell was an interesting fellow. Now I'd mentioned to 63 00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:07,840 Speaker 1: you switching gears here. I just want to keep I'm 64 00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:11,480 Speaker 1: keeping an eye on the financial realities, and I'm also 65 00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:14,839 Speaker 1: reaching out. I mean, I've got We've got a couple 66 00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:16,960 Speaker 1: of We've got a couple of MBAs in my family. 67 00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:18,760 Speaker 1: We got a banker in my family. I mean, I 68 00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:20,640 Speaker 1: got a lot of people that I can tap for 69 00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:23,920 Speaker 1: their knowledge of how these systems work. And then all 70 00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:28,719 Speaker 1: what I was graduating from college, the two jobs that 71 00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:31,640 Speaker 1: everybody went into, at least out of my school. I 72 00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:35,680 Speaker 1: went to Amherst up in Massachusetts, which, yes, is one 73 00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:37,920 Speaker 1: of these places that has woke and has completely lost 74 00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:41,400 Speaker 1: its mind if it ever had a mind to lose 75 00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:47,280 Speaker 1: even when I was there. But Amherst and many other schools, 76 00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:51,039 Speaker 1: everybody went into investment banking or management consulting. That was 77 00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:54,640 Speaker 1: I went into the CIA different path, But investment banking, 78 00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:58,120 Speaker 1: management consulting, those are the two things that people wanted 79 00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:01,640 Speaker 1: to do. And I do think that a lot of 80 00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:07,839 Speaker 1: that world has changed dramatically in the past twenty years 81 00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:10,839 Speaker 1: such that well, anyway, I try to encourage people to 82 00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:13,240 Speaker 1: do things that they at least would like to do. 83 00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:15,320 Speaker 1: You want to find that sweet spot for anyone who's 84 00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:18,440 Speaker 1: listening who's still figuring out what their career might be, 85 00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:20,520 Speaker 1: or if you've got kids who are going to be 86 00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:23,520 Speaker 1: thinking about this soon. You want to find something that 87 00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:27,840 Speaker 1: you are both interested in. Not that you it's a job, right, 88 00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:30,359 Speaker 1: it's not. You're not going to pay to get a BackRub. 89 00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:33,000 Speaker 1: There's gonna be work, there's gonna be frustration, there's gonna 90 00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:34,719 Speaker 1: be time, there's gonna be a lot of stuff you 91 00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:37,960 Speaker 1: have to give to it. But something you are interested 92 00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:44,080 Speaker 1: in and that you can be compensated enough for your 93 00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:47,560 Speaker 1: lifestyle choice. That's what I try to tell people. So 94 00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:50,400 Speaker 1: you have to be you have to be willing to 95 00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:53,960 Speaker 1: do it a lot and grow your skill set within it, 96 00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:57,120 Speaker 1: which requires interest. Otherwise you're just going to burn out 97 00:05:57,120 --> 00:05:59,080 Speaker 1: and lose your mind and be miserable, and nobody wants that. 98 00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:02,640 Speaker 1: But you also want to make sure you know, you 99 00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:06,719 Speaker 1: know what the upside of it could be financially. Now, 100 00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:08,960 Speaker 1: that does not everybody has to be a banker or 101 00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:11,480 Speaker 1: investment banker trying to be a millionaire. Obviously people are 102 00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:13,279 Speaker 1: finding out maybe we have too many of those anyway. 103 00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:16,560 Speaker 1: But you know, if you're if you're gonna be a 104 00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:20,000 Speaker 1: if you're gonna be a guidance counselor you're not gonna 105 00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:22,080 Speaker 1: make a million dollars a year, which is fine, but 106 00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:23,680 Speaker 1: you just got to know these things when you go 107 00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:27,360 Speaker 1: into it, right, you've got to understand what role you're taking. Anyway, 108 00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:36,839 Speaker 1: speaking of colleges, Wellesley College, Wellesley College, Hillary Clinton's Almamont, 109 00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:39,040 Speaker 1: I'm trying to think who else, who else? There's all 110 00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:41,640 Speaker 1: these schools that famous people who didn't matel did mattel 111 00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:44,479 Speaker 1: An Albright go to Wellesley? I want to say that's 112 00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:46,640 Speaker 1: maybe I'm just making that up. I'm just going by 113 00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:48,720 Speaker 1: memory here, folks three hours Alive Radio. You got to 114 00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:49,920 Speaker 1: come up with a lot of stuff on the fly. 115 00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:54,480 Speaker 1: But Wellesley College is in the midst of a very 116 00:06:54,480 --> 00:07:03,039 Speaker 1: interesting debate. It's a women's college, right, very straightforward. You 117 00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:05,400 Speaker 1: could only go there if you're a woman. I went 118 00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:08,920 Speaker 1: to college down the street from down the street, roughly 119 00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:12,560 Speaker 1: speaking a few maybe you know, seven miles and twelve 120 00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:17,120 Speaker 1: miles respectively or something away from Smith and Holio Colleges, 121 00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:20,160 Speaker 1: which are also women's colleges. I believe they're called the 122 00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:24,400 Speaker 1: Seven Sister Schools, but that that maybe I may be 123 00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:30,000 Speaker 1: mixing some of them up. So Wellesley has a problem 124 00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:33,840 Speaker 1: on a chance because women who make up the student body. 125 00:07:33,880 --> 00:07:37,800 Speaker 1: Oh by the way, I'm right, yeah, Madeline Albright team, 126 00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:40,240 Speaker 1: did you already know that I nailed that one. I 127 00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:42,360 Speaker 1: don't know why I second guessed myself when it comes 128 00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:46,400 Speaker 1: to random trivia on the fly, I'm pretty solid. So 129 00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:51,760 Speaker 1: Wellesley College has had a referendum. It is non binding, 130 00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:55,840 Speaker 1: but students have called for the women's college to be 131 00:07:55,880 --> 00:08:01,720 Speaker 1: open to all non binary and trans gender applicants, including 132 00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:09,440 Speaker 1: trans men. So you are now going to have, assuming 133 00:08:09,760 --> 00:08:13,600 Speaker 1: the university or the college in this case allows this, 134 00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:21,040 Speaker 1: you're going to have biological males attending a women's college. 135 00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:29,720 Speaker 1: Now I do wonder what the realm, what the rules 136 00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:32,520 Speaker 1: and regulations for this are going to be, Like, how 137 00:08:33,040 --> 00:08:35,040 Speaker 1: would they even judge? As they say, it's if you 138 00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:38,880 Speaker 1: have been there some verbiage in here that says if 139 00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:44,319 Speaker 1: you live your life as a woman, then you qualify basically, 140 00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:48,960 Speaker 1: oh sorry, consistently identify as a woman is the term 141 00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:53,240 Speaker 1: of art I think they have used here. But the 142 00:08:53,240 --> 00:08:58,720 Speaker 1: the president, Paula Johnson, is getting some pushbacks. She says 143 00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:01,480 Speaker 1: that Wellesley was found that the then radical idea that 144 00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:04,880 Speaker 1: educating women of all social economic backgrounds leads to progress 145 00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:08,240 Speaker 1: for everyone. As a college and community, we continue to 146 00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:12,679 Speaker 1: challenge the norms and power structures that too often leave 147 00:09:12,760 --> 00:09:18,560 Speaker 1: women and others of marginalized identities behind. The students entirely disagree. 148 00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:23,200 Speaker 1: They are all freaking out, and they are saying that 149 00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:29,040 Speaker 1: we need to include trans men, right trans trans or 150 00:09:29,040 --> 00:09:32,920 Speaker 1: no trans women, sorry trans women. Men who are now 151 00:09:32,960 --> 00:09:36,240 Speaker 1: identifying as women. You know, I got just tell you 152 00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:40,000 Speaker 1: if I were a woman, and I'm not and I 153 00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:43,160 Speaker 1: do not identify as one, if I were a woman, 154 00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:47,040 Speaker 1: I would find this all so offensive, honestly, And I 155 00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:50,800 Speaker 1: guess at some level for men, the notion that a man, 156 00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:54,400 Speaker 1: that a trans man would be able to sit down 157 00:09:54,440 --> 00:09:59,400 Speaker 1: across from me and give me a lecture on manhood 158 00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:03,440 Speaker 1: that I would listen to, that I would. I would 159 00:10:03,480 --> 00:10:07,240 Speaker 1: want to hear her lived experience about being a man 160 00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:10,840 Speaker 1: for I don't know, six months, three months, whatever it is, 161 00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:14,680 Speaker 1: as women have been subjected to as you've seen recently. 162 00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:18,479 Speaker 1: I mean, there's this video that's circularly everywhere of Drew Barrymore, 163 00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:22,280 Speaker 1: who has a daytime TV show which I I didn't 164 00:10:22,280 --> 00:10:24,560 Speaker 1: know it was possible to have a lower IQ show 165 00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:26,840 Speaker 1: than the view. But there is a Drew Barrymore daytime 166 00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:32,319 Speaker 1: TV show, and and she's kneeling and hugging the transwoman 167 00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:35,280 Speaker 1: who went to the White House and Biden sat down 168 00:10:35,280 --> 00:10:41,680 Speaker 1: with and the trans woman who was lecturing women on womanhood. Basically, 169 00:10:41,679 --> 00:10:43,199 Speaker 1: you're saying, you know this is let me tell you 170 00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:48,480 Speaker 1: all about my womanhood as a guy. It's just this. 171 00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:53,440 Speaker 1: Every guy, every guy that I know, without exception, would 172 00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:55,480 Speaker 1: just think it was absurd, to the point if they wouldn't, 173 00:10:55,559 --> 00:10:58,400 Speaker 1: it wouldn't even connect. They wouldn't even pay attention. If 174 00:10:58,440 --> 00:11:03,000 Speaker 1: a transgender man, a biological female sat down, you know, 175 00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:07,480 Speaker 1: cut her hair short, wara were like a you know, 176 00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:10,280 Speaker 1: a plaid shirt. You know it's a little big, and 177 00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:13,920 Speaker 1: started telling the guys about what it is to be 178 00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:15,880 Speaker 1: a man. Look, if people want to dress however, they 179 00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:18,240 Speaker 1: want to cut their hair, that's all fine, no problem 180 00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:21,679 Speaker 1: with that, of course. But the notion that we're supposed 181 00:11:21,679 --> 00:11:28,040 Speaker 1: to see the superficialities of style choice as somehow indicative 182 00:11:28,120 --> 00:11:32,920 Speaker 1: of the innate and immutable characteristic of one's gender, what 183 00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:37,640 Speaker 1: sex you are, is crazy. You can sit any woman 184 00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:40,880 Speaker 1: in the world down across from a man and doesn't 185 00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:43,280 Speaker 1: matter what she identifies as the guy is going to 186 00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:45,960 Speaker 1: sit there and be like, I'm I'm not listening to Well, 187 00:11:46,520 --> 00:11:51,880 Speaker 1: a normal man of reasonable mind and testosterone levels would 188 00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:53,480 Speaker 1: sit there and say, I'm not going to listen to this. 189 00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:56,960 Speaker 1: But women are being told now that it's almost as 190 00:11:56,960 --> 00:12:01,240 Speaker 1: though they have something to learn from the trans women 191 00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:04,160 Speaker 1: who have been women for like a few minutes or 192 00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:07,040 Speaker 1: a few months or whatever. I just find it. I 193 00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:10,480 Speaker 1: find it on behalf of women. I wanted to be offended. 194 00:12:10,520 --> 00:12:12,200 Speaker 1: I guess I can't do that because I'm not a woman, 195 00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:14,880 Speaker 1: but I would find it just so. Oh so someone 196 00:12:16,080 --> 00:12:19,560 Speaker 1: speaks in a high sort of a high voice, grows 197 00:12:19,600 --> 00:12:23,640 Speaker 1: their hair long, maybe has breast implants put in, and 198 00:12:23,679 --> 00:12:26,400 Speaker 1: puts a lot of makeup on their face, and now 199 00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:29,760 Speaker 1: they understand what it is to be a woman. That's 200 00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:32,720 Speaker 1: because they say, so, this is where we are. I 201 00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:36,640 Speaker 1: would be fascinated to be in these Wellesley classrooms where 202 00:12:36,640 --> 00:12:40,800 Speaker 1: these trans male students are being or I think they're 203 00:12:40,840 --> 00:12:42,920 Speaker 1: already being admitted. I can't even keep up. I think 204 00:12:42,920 --> 00:12:47,120 Speaker 1: if you're like nonsis gender, it's the stuff is difficult, 205 00:12:47,160 --> 00:12:49,240 Speaker 1: I know, or you speak in circles about it because 206 00:12:49,240 --> 00:12:53,600 Speaker 1: it runs in circles. The whole thing is absurd. But yes, 207 00:12:53,640 --> 00:12:56,800 Speaker 1: we are at the stage now where women's colleges are 208 00:12:56,800 --> 00:13:01,600 Speaker 1: admitting men under the idea that they're actually women. And 209 00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:04,720 Speaker 1: this is what is happening. Whether it's official at Wellesley 210 00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:07,040 Speaker 1: yet or not, or whether it's just this gender non 211 00:13:07,080 --> 00:13:10,920 Speaker 1: binary or actually trans or whatever, that is where we are. 212 00:13:11,480 --> 00:13:14,040 Speaker 1: I bring this up well for a lot of reasons, 213 00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:16,120 Speaker 1: but it reminds me what we're talking about the last 214 00:13:16,160 --> 00:13:23,080 Speaker 1: hour with Vermont and this school system and competing against men, 215 00:13:23,920 --> 00:13:26,439 Speaker 1: and I would just say, you know, women having to 216 00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:30,160 Speaker 1: compete against men. They keep telling you that this isn't 217 00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:32,960 Speaker 1: the plan, and it absolutely is. They're lying to you. 218 00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:36,439 Speaker 1: This is their agenda that we are reacting to. They're 219 00:13:36,480 --> 00:13:39,000 Speaker 1: the ones that have picked this fight, so we're the 220 00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:42,160 Speaker 1: ones that are going to have to win it. Speaking 221 00:13:42,120 --> 00:13:45,080 Speaker 1: of testosterone, did you know that testosterone levels in the 222 00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:47,720 Speaker 1: average male in this country have dropped about fifty percent 223 00:13:47,720 --> 00:13:49,920 Speaker 1: in the last fifty years. That is not a good trend. 224 00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:52,440 Speaker 1: But there's something you can do about it without taking 225 00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:57,640 Speaker 1: prescription medication.

We have Stephen Miller with us now, 243 00:14:54,520 --> 00:14:59,320 Speaker 1: former Senior Whitehouse Advisor and a man who knows policy 244 00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:03,480 Speaker 1: with legal and border and everything in between like the 245 00:15:03,480 --> 00:15:06,360 Speaker 1: back of his hand. Stephen, thanks for joining us. Thank 246 00:15:06,400 --> 00:15:08,520 Speaker 1: you so much. Great to be here today. So we've 247 00:15:08,520 --> 00:15:12,840 Speaker 1: got Homeland Security Committee field hearing today going on down 248 00:15:13,680 --> 00:15:18,280 Speaker 1: in Texas. Democrats, as I understand it, have pulled out 249 00:15:18,360 --> 00:15:23,480 Speaker 1: of this at the last minute, and they're saying, for example, 250 00:15:23,520 --> 00:15:27,600 Speaker 1: this is Representative Mark Greene who talked about how there's 251 00:15:27,640 --> 00:15:30,680 Speaker 1: an app where you, if you're an illegal who comes 252 00:15:30,680 --> 00:15:33,840 Speaker 1: into America right now, you fill out the app and 253 00:15:33,920 --> 00:15:36,800 Speaker 1: you get parole as soon as you fill it out. 254 00:15:37,480 --> 00:15:42,680 Speaker 1: Play it. Why would Secretary Maiarchus want to do away 255 00:15:42,680 --> 00:15:45,600 Speaker 1: with the judiciary, Why would he want to subvert laws 256 00:15:45,600 --> 00:15:48,960 Speaker 1: written by this body, the Congress. It's because they want 257 00:15:48,960 --> 00:15:51,160 Speaker 1: more people to come into the country. And now their 258 00:15:51,240 --> 00:15:55,600 Speaker 1: solution is an app where whomever fills it out just 259 00:15:55,680 --> 00:15:59,480 Speaker 1: automatically gets parole when they show up at the crossing site. 260 00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:02,520 Speaker 1: That is in total contravention to what the laws passed 261 00:16:02,520 --> 00:16:05,360 Speaker 1: by Congress about how people are to enter this country. 262 00:16:05,640 --> 00:16:09,120 Speaker 1: I can see it now, some drug cartel coyote. Hey, 263 00:16:09,520 --> 00:16:12,520 Speaker 1: for an additional fee, we'll fill the app out for you. 264 00:16:13,880 --> 00:16:16,400 Speaker 1: Is there really an app for that, Stephen, There most 265 00:16:16,400 --> 00:16:20,880 Speaker 1: certainly is, And Chairman green explained it correctly when you 266 00:16:20,920 --> 00:16:23,440 Speaker 1: said this whole administration is objective is to get as 267 00:16:23,520 --> 00:16:26,440 Speaker 1: many people into the country as possible. Is that simple 268 00:16:26,480 --> 00:16:28,800 Speaker 1: as that straightforward. Anybody who's been following this for two 269 00:16:28,880 --> 00:16:32,520 Speaker 1: years understands that in twenty twenty it was the policy 270 00:16:32,520 --> 00:16:35,720 Speaker 1: of the Trump administration. And I know because I implemented 271 00:16:35,760 --> 00:16:40,400 Speaker 1: that policy to detain and deport all legal border crossers. 272 00:16:40,400 --> 00:16:43,520 Speaker 1: So we would meet on a regular basis with the 273 00:16:43,600 --> 00:16:49,320 Speaker 1: whole management structure of CBP, Border Patrol and ICE to 274 00:16:49,400 --> 00:16:52,400 Speaker 1: reiterate this over and over and over again. If you 275 00:16:52,480 --> 00:16:56,200 Speaker 1: apprehend it legal immigrant, you use every single available policy 276 00:16:56,200 --> 00:16:59,640 Speaker 1: tool at your disposal. Under no circumstances are they allowed 277 00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:04,000 Speaker 1: to leave a detained setting to be able to walk 278 00:17:04,040 --> 00:17:07,000 Speaker 1: freely on US soil. And so we saw as a result, 279 00:17:07,280 --> 00:17:10,080 Speaker 1: record low numbers in twenty twenty. Biden comes in in 280 00:17:10,080 --> 00:17:14,320 Speaker 1: twenty twenty one and he changes the policy from detained 281 00:17:14,400 --> 00:17:17,000 Speaker 1: the port to catch and release. And it's not even 282 00:17:17,080 --> 00:17:19,480 Speaker 1: just released, it's recubtle. I mean, you see people, as 283 00:17:19,520 --> 00:17:22,040 Speaker 1: we all know, particularly on a company of minors, being 284 00:17:22,080 --> 00:17:26,280 Speaker 1: flown to the destination of their choice in the United States. 285 00:17:26,640 --> 00:17:29,720 Speaker 1: So the government is resettling legal immigrants in the country. 286 00:17:30,080 --> 00:17:33,920 Speaker 1: This new application is a way of expoting that process 287 00:17:34,280 --> 00:17:37,560 Speaker 1: so you can be an intending legal immigrant. You can 288 00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:40,000 Speaker 1: go onto the smartphone application. By the way, the fact 289 00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:43,479 Speaker 1: that you have a smartphone also demonstrates that you're definitely 290 00:17:43,560 --> 00:17:45,480 Speaker 1: not in the kinds of dire straits that are often 291 00:17:45,520 --> 00:17:49,879 Speaker 1: for trade. You fill out the application and you show 292 00:17:49,960 --> 00:17:52,640 Speaker 1: up at a port of entry and you get admitted 293 00:17:52,680 --> 00:17:55,120 Speaker 1: into the United States of America to live the rest 294 00:17:55,160 --> 00:17:57,800 Speaker 1: of your life here. And these are overwhelmingly going to 295 00:17:57,840 --> 00:18:01,640 Speaker 1: be individuals who do not have a high school education 296 00:18:01,720 --> 00:18:03,520 Speaker 1: or the equivalent of one in the United States. They 297 00:18:03,560 --> 00:18:07,880 Speaker 1: do not have the kinds of professional skills that are 298 00:18:07,920 --> 00:18:12,119 Speaker 1: going to make them financially self sufficient. So it's going 299 00:18:12,160 --> 00:18:15,440 Speaker 1: to be an incredible burden on the US taxpayer, who's 300 00:18:15,440 --> 00:18:19,520 Speaker 1: going to have have to to subsidize free housing, free education, free welfare, 301 00:18:19,880 --> 00:18:22,400 Speaker 1: free food, and so on and so forth for decades 302 00:18:22,440 --> 00:18:26,600 Speaker 1: to come. Stephen, you know the latest from Border Patrol 303 00:18:26,680 --> 00:18:30,800 Speaker 1: Chief Raoul or Tease earlier this morning, and his testimony 304 00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:34,399 Speaker 1: is that there have been approximately three hundred and eighty 305 00:18:34,400 --> 00:18:39,360 Speaker 1: five thousand known gotaways, not to include unknown goataways. There's 306 00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:42,280 Speaker 1: a lot of those two since the fiscal year in 307 00:18:42,359 --> 00:18:47,120 Speaker 1: October of twenty twenty three, so we're looking at approximately 308 00:18:47,160 --> 00:18:51,080 Speaker 1: This is according to Border Biden's Border Patrol Chief says 309 00:18:51,119 --> 00:18:55,080 Speaker 1: that there are one point four million gataways since the 310 00:18:55,160 --> 00:18:58,879 Speaker 1: start of fiscal year twenty one. One point four million. 311 00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:01,399 Speaker 1: That's not including as we know, the whatever it is 312 00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:03,720 Speaker 1: now six or seven million who have just come into 313 00:19:03,720 --> 00:19:07,359 Speaker 1: the country and gained the systems who are choosing to 314 00:19:07,440 --> 00:19:09,320 Speaker 1: just let everyone know in this audience, because you know 315 00:19:09,400 --> 00:19:11,920 Speaker 1: these numbers, you know this reality, who are the people 316 00:19:11,920 --> 00:19:13,919 Speaker 1: who are choosing to be goataways when they could just 317 00:19:14,240 --> 00:19:17,720 Speaker 1: otherwise surrender, right, I mean there's something going on here. Yeah, well, 318 00:19:17,800 --> 00:19:20,840 Speaker 1: very much so. And so the hearing had a lot 319 00:19:20,840 --> 00:19:23,480 Speaker 1: of explosive revelations and I did watch the hearing and 320 00:19:23,600 --> 00:19:27,159 Speaker 1: this entirety today and that was indeed one of them. 321 00:19:27,280 --> 00:19:30,000 Speaker 1: So the number of Godaways, of course, can we only 322 00:19:30,040 --> 00:19:32,720 Speaker 1: measure what we call known godaways, And as you mentioned, 323 00:19:32,720 --> 00:19:36,320 Speaker 1: almost four hundred thousand just in this fiscal year alone. 324 00:19:37,040 --> 00:19:40,240 Speaker 1: And there's this other number that I would estimate personally 325 00:19:40,640 --> 00:19:43,280 Speaker 1: is at least as many as the known number of Godaways. 326 00:19:43,440 --> 00:19:45,000 Speaker 1: And these are the ones that you don't even know 327 00:19:45,160 --> 00:19:48,080 Speaker 1: that they escaped, versus the ones that you can estimate 328 00:19:48,200 --> 00:19:54,399 Speaker 1: escaped because of drone footage and censored technology, footpaths, visual observation, 329 00:19:54,480 --> 00:19:59,480 Speaker 1: things of that nature. And so who are these people? 330 00:19:59,520 --> 00:20:02,199 Speaker 1: Why are they is aiding. So, as you mentioned, there 331 00:20:02,200 --> 00:20:04,240 Speaker 1: are an enormous number of people who are turn ins 332 00:20:04,359 --> 00:20:08,239 Speaker 1: or surrenders. This would include almost all family units are 333 00:20:08,280 --> 00:20:12,399 Speaker 1: going to be turn ins. All minors in most cases 334 00:20:12,440 --> 00:20:15,400 Speaker 1: are going to be turnins because they get automatical settlement. 335 00:20:15,800 --> 00:20:20,320 Speaker 1: So people seventeen and younger, and then many nationalities but no, 336 00:20:20,600 --> 00:20:23,320 Speaker 1: there's no deportation to their home country are going to 337 00:20:23,359 --> 00:20:26,120 Speaker 1: be turning in as well too. So the gataways are 338 00:20:26,160 --> 00:20:30,800 Speaker 1: going to have among them two groups. Primarily one which 339 00:20:30,840 --> 00:20:34,159 Speaker 1: is pretty straightforward, are going to be Mexican nationals, just 340 00:20:34,200 --> 00:20:37,840 Speaker 1: because for them it's a zero cost proposition. You know, 341 00:20:37,840 --> 00:20:40,240 Speaker 1: you run away, you get caught, you get sent back, 342 00:20:40,240 --> 00:20:42,320 Speaker 1: you try again, so you just you keep trying till 343 00:20:42,320 --> 00:20:44,879 Speaker 1: you get in. And then the other group, though, is 344 00:20:44,880 --> 00:20:47,440 Speaker 1: going to be, which will of course include some Mexican nationals, 345 00:20:47,480 --> 00:20:51,000 Speaker 1: are going to be people who have criminal records, whether 346 00:20:51,080 --> 00:20:54,359 Speaker 1: in their home countries or in the United States, who 347 00:20:54,359 --> 00:20:58,800 Speaker 1: have multiple previous deportations, which although idently this administration would 348 00:20:58,800 --> 00:21:02,680 Speaker 1: apply it which can trigger a felony prosecution, are going 349 00:21:02,720 --> 00:21:05,120 Speaker 1: to be of course a huge category here. Are going 350 00:21:05,119 --> 00:21:09,720 Speaker 1: to be actively smuggling, are transporting narcotics or contrabant into 351 00:21:09,760 --> 00:21:13,119 Speaker 1: the United States, and then of course sex trafficking and 352 00:21:13,240 --> 00:21:15,719 Speaker 1: labor trafficking and things of that nature. So you have 353 00:21:15,840 --> 00:21:20,320 Speaker 1: within that group an enormous amount of criminal activity. And 354 00:21:20,520 --> 00:21:23,040 Speaker 1: that now was all inside of the United States and 355 00:21:23,119 --> 00:21:27,240 Speaker 1: every state and every city all throughout the country. There's 356 00:21:27,280 --> 00:21:32,640 Speaker 1: being the Stephen Miller, former senior adviser to President Donald Trump. Stephen, 357 00:21:32,960 --> 00:21:37,359 Speaker 1: you may have seen this as well, that the DA now, 358 00:21:37,400 --> 00:21:42,640 Speaker 1: according to reporting by Fox News, DA is aware that 359 00:21:42,720 --> 00:21:47,680 Speaker 1: there are Mexican pharmacies that are selling pills that are 360 00:21:47,760 --> 00:21:50,960 Speaker 1: laced with fentanyl. So now it's we've known for a 361 00:21:50,960 --> 00:21:54,399 Speaker 1: while that the cartels will try to press pills to 362 00:21:54,640 --> 00:21:59,560 Speaker 1: look like pharmaceutical grade pills and then people overdose and 363 00:21:59,560 --> 00:22:01,719 Speaker 1: there's no quality control and the whole thing is a 364 00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:06,320 Speaker 1: disaster for the American people. But Mexican pharmacies are selling 365 00:22:06,359 --> 00:22:08,720 Speaker 1: this stuff, and of course it's getting across the border 366 00:22:08,720 --> 00:22:11,840 Speaker 1: to us. What can we do about this? Well, and 367 00:22:11,880 --> 00:22:15,040 Speaker 1: of course they are because the cartels have operational control 368 00:22:15,440 --> 00:22:18,320 Speaker 1: of Va slass of territory, and if you don't go 369 00:22:18,359 --> 00:22:21,200 Speaker 1: along with their program, you're going to be killed. So 370 00:22:21,760 --> 00:22:26,359 Speaker 1: if they want pharmacies to manufacture this drug and just 371 00:22:26,400 --> 00:22:28,199 Speaker 1: shribute in the United States, and that's exactly what's going 372 00:22:28,240 --> 00:22:32,639 Speaker 1: to happen. What you do, of course, is exactly what 373 00:22:32,880 --> 00:22:35,880 Speaker 1: we did do in twenty twenty. And then what President 374 00:22:35,880 --> 00:22:38,679 Speaker 1: Trump is further proposed doing, which obviously is you need 375 00:22:38,720 --> 00:22:41,600 Speaker 1: to treat the cartels as a as an unlawful enemy 376 00:22:41,640 --> 00:22:44,240 Speaker 1: combatant with all that that entails. And then you also 377 00:22:44,320 --> 00:22:49,320 Speaker 1: need the United States Navy to blockade the seas where 378 00:22:49,359 --> 00:22:53,639 Speaker 1: the drugs are being transported into Mexico from areas further 379 00:22:53,680 --> 00:23:00,080 Speaker 1: to the south, including of course South America, and the 380 00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:02,640 Speaker 1: the United States Border Patrol needs to have a policy 381 00:23:02,800 --> 00:23:06,200 Speaker 1: of one hundred percent deportation and we're applicable one hundred 382 00:23:06,200 --> 00:23:10,359 Speaker 1: percent prosecution. And so you have the place completely sealed 383 00:23:10,440 --> 00:23:12,000 Speaker 1: up but between ports of entry, and then you have 384 00:23:12,040 --> 00:23:16,200 Speaker 1: the military engaging with the cartels to do what we 385 00:23:16,359 --> 00:23:18,840 Speaker 1: need to be done in terms of kinetic activity. And 386 00:23:18,920 --> 00:23:20,199 Speaker 1: at the end of the day, we just have to 387 00:23:20,240 --> 00:23:23,879 Speaker 1: realize that there's not a single foreign threat on the 388 00:23:23,920 --> 00:23:26,960 Speaker 1: face of the earth. That comes even close to these 389 00:23:27,040 --> 00:23:31,360 Speaker 1: cartels in terms of the loss of American life. No one, 390 00:23:31,400 --> 00:23:33,840 Speaker 1: No one even approaches that, no one even gets close. 391 00:23:34,320 --> 00:23:37,840 Speaker 1: And yet the United States military is engaged in nation 392 00:23:37,880 --> 00:23:44,080 Speaker 1: building activities and purportedly peacekeeping activities all throughout the planet, 393 00:23:44,880 --> 00:23:49,119 Speaker 1: and our southern border is where the greatest threat m 394 00:23:49,200 --> 00:23:51,280 Speaker 1: and as a lies that it is untouched. In fact, 395 00:23:51,359 --> 00:23:55,000 Speaker 1: it is actively aided by this administration. Stephen, how can 396 00:23:55,040 --> 00:23:59,520 Speaker 1: we address the issue of the asylum claims that are 397 00:23:59,560 --> 00:24:03,560 Speaker 1: being made aid and the open door that that has created. 398 00:24:04,680 --> 00:24:07,679 Speaker 1: What would be you know, what is within statute or 399 00:24:07,720 --> 00:24:10,639 Speaker 1: within the executive branches discretion. We know Biden's not going 400 00:24:10,680 --> 00:24:12,040 Speaker 1: to do this right. This is more of a look 401 00:24:12,080 --> 00:24:15,880 Speaker 1: toward twenty twenty four when maybe there'll be an administration 402 00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:19,560 Speaker 1: hopefully that will decide to do something about this. But 403 00:24:19,680 --> 00:24:26,280 Speaker 1: how can the false asylum loophole be closed? It's actually 404 00:24:26,320 --> 00:24:28,560 Speaker 1: a very straightforward to do so. One of the common 405 00:24:28,600 --> 00:24:33,200 Speaker 1: misconceptions that people have, and that is repeated out of 406 00:24:33,320 --> 00:24:36,720 Speaker 1: an item by many, is that anyone who enters the 407 00:24:36,760 --> 00:24:40,120 Speaker 1: country illegally has a quote right to make an asylum 408 00:24:40,160 --> 00:24:43,560 Speaker 1: claim and then to be released if that claim is 409 00:24:43,560 --> 00:24:46,720 Speaker 1: deemed to be plausible or credible in some way that 410 00:24:46,880 --> 00:24:50,720 Speaker 1: is not true. In fact, there are multiple tools that 411 00:24:50,760 --> 00:24:54,439 Speaker 1: already exist in federal law that would invalidate those claims. 412 00:24:54,840 --> 00:24:57,280 Speaker 1: The one of those, of course, is Title forty two, 413 00:24:57,720 --> 00:25:02,760 Speaker 1: which was eared and implemented by the Trump administration and 414 00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:07,520 Speaker 1: invalidated hundreds of thousands of asylum claims. Right, that's a 415 00:25:07,600 --> 00:25:11,280 Speaker 1: pandemic authority rights, that's the CDC pandemic. You can't come 416 00:25:11,280 --> 00:25:14,800 Speaker 1: in here authority, right. And so that authority is a 417 00:25:14,680 --> 00:25:19,439 Speaker 1: is a particularly broad grant of executive authority. Then, so 418 00:25:19,560 --> 00:25:22,239 Speaker 1: we use that. For example, Title forty two, we use 419 00:25:22,280 --> 00:25:24,639 Speaker 1: that to solve the problem with unaccompanied minors. So when 420 00:25:24,640 --> 00:25:27,679 Speaker 1: we would get a minor from say or say fifteen 421 00:25:27,760 --> 00:25:31,399 Speaker 1: or sixteen minor sixteen, seventeen years old from Haiti that 422 00:25:32,160 --> 00:25:35,120 Speaker 1: under the current administration would be sent to HHS Helping 423 00:25:35,200 --> 00:25:38,080 Speaker 1: Human Services and then relocated wherever they want to go, 424 00:25:38,200 --> 00:25:41,040 Speaker 1: be it, you know, New York, Cincinnati, Los Angeles, what 425 00:25:41,119 --> 00:25:44,639 Speaker 1: have you. We would call the local government in Haiti 426 00:25:44,680 --> 00:25:46,600 Speaker 1: and we say, get your social workers ready, we've got 427 00:25:46,600 --> 00:25:49,800 Speaker 1: a plane coming in tomorrow. We seventeen minors, and we 428 00:25:49,800 --> 00:25:52,199 Speaker 1: would use Title forty two to do that and it 429 00:25:52,240 --> 00:25:56,120 Speaker 1: would work quite seamlessly, and the numbers dropped almost nothing. 430 00:25:56,960 --> 00:26:00,520 Speaker 1: Then you have what's called safe third agreements, which in 431 00:26:00,640 --> 00:26:03,000 Speaker 1: statute it says, and it's there in black and white, 432 00:26:03,119 --> 00:26:08,960 Speaker 1: that one of the categorical bars to asylum eligibility is 433 00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:14,240 Speaker 1: if another country is willing to take you. So you 434 00:26:14,240 --> 00:26:17,919 Speaker 1: could even be eligible for asylum, like fully eligible and 435 00:26:18,080 --> 00:26:20,560 Speaker 1: even then, but by any definition. So you could be 436 00:26:20,600 --> 00:26:23,400 Speaker 1: somebody who has a rock solid claim which of course 437 00:26:23,400 --> 00:26:25,800 Speaker 1: you basically never see you on the southern border, but 438 00:26:25,920 --> 00:26:27,879 Speaker 1: just hypothetically, and you still wouldn't be able to get 439 00:26:27,880 --> 00:26:31,200 Speaker 1: asylum in the United States because another countries agreed to 440 00:26:31,240 --> 00:26:33,240 Speaker 1: take you. So when we left the White House in 441 00:26:33,280 --> 00:26:36,160 Speaker 1: twenty twenty, we had to save third agreements with all 442 00:26:36,280 --> 00:26:40,080 Speaker 1: three Northern Triangle countries El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras, and 443 00:26:40,160 --> 00:26:43,880 Speaker 1: so anyone who applied for asylum, we could just say 444 00:26:43,920 --> 00:26:49,760 Speaker 1: to them, your claim is not receivable in the United States. 445 00:26:49,960 --> 00:26:52,399 Speaker 1: You can choose to withdraw it and go home, or 446 00:26:52,480 --> 00:26:55,640 Speaker 1: you can choose to be flown to Honduras or Guatemala 447 00:26:55,720 --> 00:26:58,560 Speaker 1: or El Salvador and you can apply for asylum in 448 00:26:58,560 --> 00:27:00,159 Speaker 1: one of those countries. Because I think to remember of 449 00:27:00,160 --> 00:27:05,160 Speaker 1: asylum is that the whole premise of it that you're 450 00:27:05,160 --> 00:27:08,280 Speaker 1: being politically persecuted in your home country. It's not an 451 00:27:08,400 --> 00:27:12,439 Speaker 1: escape hatch from violence or from poverty if half the 452 00:27:12,480 --> 00:27:14,439 Speaker 1: world is living in one of those two conditions or 453 00:27:14,480 --> 00:27:17,640 Speaker 1: both at a given moment in time. So if you 454 00:27:17,840 --> 00:27:21,920 Speaker 1: are asking for asylum, all that means is you want 455 00:27:21,960 --> 00:27:24,320 Speaker 1: to go somewhere where you're not going to be politically persecuted. 456 00:27:24,640 --> 00:27:28,440 Speaker 1: So if you've invented some fantastical pale of political persecution 457 00:27:28,440 --> 00:27:31,920 Speaker 1: in Haiti, that it's okay. Great, Well, whoever's persecuting you 458 00:27:31,920 --> 00:27:34,239 Speaker 1: in Haiti, I'm sure doesn't live in Guatemala. So by 459 00:27:34,280 --> 00:27:37,200 Speaker 1: all means, go there. And that is a complete solution 460 00:27:37,640 --> 00:27:40,920 Speaker 1: to the asylum frauda issue. So I would just say 461 00:27:40,960 --> 00:27:43,159 Speaker 1: that in twenty twenty five, number one, you put in 462 00:27:43,200 --> 00:27:45,439 Speaker 1: place a robust network of safe third or groom's all 463 00:27:45,480 --> 00:27:48,639 Speaker 1: over the country, and then you get Congress to a 464 00:27:48,680 --> 00:27:53,639 Speaker 1: men Title forty two to be a catchall authority for 465 00:27:53,760 --> 00:27:57,479 Speaker 1: border management and not just tied to public health. Steven, 466 00:27:57,480 --> 00:28:00,120 Speaker 1: though everybody, the guy knows the border backwards and forwards 467 00:28:00,160 --> 00:28:02,439 Speaker 1: and something we need to fix. Steven, Thanks, So much 468 00:28:02,440 --> 00:28:06,440 Speaker 1: for being with us. Thank you. Born from the tragedy 469 00:28:06,440 --> 00:28:08,360 Speaker 1: of nine to eleven, The Tune of the Towers Foundation 470 00:28:08,440 --> 00:28:11,760 Speaker 1: has been honoring America's heroes ever since. I've been supporting 471 00:28:11,760 --> 00:28:14,320 Speaker 1: this organization for years and have witnessed the impact they've 472 00:28:14,320 --> 00:28:16,879 Speaker 1: had helping people who have made the ultimate sacrifice for 473 00:28:16,920 --> 00:28:20,280 Speaker 1: our country defending freedom.

More than fifteen hundred receiving housing and services 478 00:28:33,800 --> 00:28:36,720 Speaker 1: this year. It's all because of your continued generosity in 479 00:28:36,760 --> 00:28:39,200 Speaker 1: support of this great foundation.

Donate eleven dollars a month to tune 488 00:29:04,400 --> 00:29:07,160 Speaker 1: the towers at t twot dot org. That's t the 489 00:29:07,240 --> 00:29:11,920 Speaker 1: number two t dot org, inspiring you to seek out 490 00:29:12,040 --> 00:29:16,720 Speaker 1: the truth the Clay Travis said Buck Sexton Show. Always 491 00:29:16,840 --> 00:29:21,680 Speaker 1: be wary when the left is making an argument along 492 00:29:21,720 --> 00:29:25,040 Speaker 1: the lines of why are you making such a big 493 00:29:25,080 --> 00:29:28,240 Speaker 1: deal of it? Why are you so focused on this? 494 00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:33,000 Speaker 1: You're obsessed with this. It doesn't happen that often. We're 495 00:29:33,000 --> 00:29:36,200 Speaker 1: not pushing this. This tells us more about you than 496 00:29:36,240 --> 00:29:38,840 Speaker 1: it does about orige. And I think any version of 497 00:29:38,880 --> 00:29:45,240 Speaker 1: that it's just gaslighting, which is very common these days, 498 00:29:46,120 --> 00:29:48,280 Speaker 1: and they're doing it on a range of issues, but 499 00:29:48,440 --> 00:29:51,840 Speaker 1: the place where you'll see it, I think in the 500 00:29:51,880 --> 00:29:57,640 Speaker 1: most obvious, the most obvious cases would be on issues 501 00:29:57,640 --> 00:30:02,400 Speaker 1: of gender what they're now calling gender quality or the 502 00:30:02,520 --> 00:30:08,880 Speaker 1: transgender agenda. Right. So we have up in Vermont, and 503 00:30:09,040 --> 00:30:12,520 Speaker 1: I always say this, Vermont is for me a place 504 00:30:13,360 --> 00:30:15,880 Speaker 1: that we should have seen this coming and should have 505 00:30:15,920 --> 00:30:18,840 Speaker 1: done something to keep well to prevent Vermont from becoming 506 00:30:18,920 --> 00:30:23,880 Speaker 1: the left wing haven in New England. That it is 507 00:30:24,160 --> 00:30:25,880 Speaker 1: a lot of people from New York, New Jersey and 508 00:30:25,920 --> 00:30:30,640 Speaker 1: Connecticut who had very leftist tendencies, figured well, you know, 509 00:30:30,720 --> 00:30:33,640 Speaker 1: I can get more land and cheaper, cheaper cost of living, etc. 510 00:30:34,040 --> 00:30:37,720 Speaker 1: Moved to Vermont. So you know Bernie Sanders for example, 511 00:30:37,720 --> 00:30:41,120 Speaker 1: like Brooklyn New Yorker who moved to and now as 512 00:30:41,120 --> 00:30:45,400 Speaker 1: a senator from Vermont. It's a beautiful state. I love it. 513 00:30:45,400 --> 00:30:47,600 Speaker 1: I used to spend summers there. I used to go 514 00:30:47,640 --> 00:30:51,560 Speaker 1: to camp in Vermont, so I think Vermont's lovely. Well 515 00:30:51,600 --> 00:30:53,240 Speaker 1: in the summers, at least. I've never been in the winter. 516 00:30:53,280 --> 00:30:56,120 Speaker 1: I'm not a skier, so it's not as appealing to me. 517 00:30:56,760 --> 00:31:01,840 Speaker 1: But Vermont has a situation unfolding the mid Vermont Christian School. 518 00:31:03,640 --> 00:31:08,920 Speaker 1: A few weeks ago, it's high school basketball team forfeited 519 00:31:09,000 --> 00:31:12,520 Speaker 1: a playoff game. You all know where this is going. 520 00:31:13,360 --> 00:31:17,840 Speaker 1: The Christian school mid Vermont Christian School forfeited the playoff 521 00:31:17,920 --> 00:31:25,040 Speaker 1: game because the opposing team had a transgender player, as 522 00:31:25,120 --> 00:31:30,760 Speaker 1: in a teenage you know, an adolescent male who wants 523 00:31:30,760 --> 00:31:36,600 Speaker 1: to play against women's basketball players or you know teenage 524 00:31:36,600 --> 00:31:39,120 Speaker 1: girl basketball players. I'm not sure if they're you know, 525 00:31:39,200 --> 00:31:41,600 Speaker 1: they could be eighteen, they could be sixteen. I think 526 00:31:41,680 --> 00:31:46,080 Speaker 1: it's they're varsity, they're probably older anyway, so we'll say 527 00:31:46,120 --> 00:31:48,200 Speaker 1: roughly sixteen to eighteen years of age is what we're 528 00:31:48,200 --> 00:31:51,160 Speaker 1: talking about here. And by the way, any of you 529 00:31:51,200 --> 00:31:53,320 Speaker 1: who have who well I was gonna say who have kids, 530 00:31:53,320 --> 00:31:56,800 Speaker 1: but just anybody who has has eyes knows that by 531 00:31:56,840 --> 00:31:59,560 Speaker 1: the time boys get to thirteen fourteen years old and 532 00:32:00,040 --> 00:32:07,760 Speaker 1: Huberty hits their strength, speed, musculature, everything is very different 533 00:32:07,800 --> 00:32:12,400 Speaker 1: from girls. Right. So it's you know, at earlier ages 534 00:32:12,520 --> 00:32:15,600 Speaker 1: the differences are still pronounced, but are not, you know, 535 00:32:15,680 --> 00:32:19,520 Speaker 1: super pronounced, and then they get into their teenage years 536 00:32:19,600 --> 00:32:22,479 Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, it's quite different. I mean, 537 00:32:22,520 --> 00:32:25,640 Speaker 1: as any guy who played high school sports knows. If 538 00:32:25,640 --> 00:32:29,080 Speaker 1: you then went to college and you know, scrimmaged on 539 00:32:29,120 --> 00:32:31,200 Speaker 1: like a co ed team and you came up against 540 00:32:31,960 --> 00:32:35,520 Speaker 1: you know, all American women in your sport, you realize 541 00:32:35,520 --> 00:32:37,760 Speaker 1: men have a huge advantage over women, right even now, 542 00:32:37,880 --> 00:32:42,360 Speaker 1: I just mean in a recreational setting. So here's where 543 00:32:42,400 --> 00:32:46,320 Speaker 1: we are. The Mid Vermont Christian School said they would 544 00:32:46,320 --> 00:32:49,840 Speaker 1: not participate in this game, and now they have to 545 00:32:49,920 --> 00:32:55,240 Speaker 1: be punished. You see, this is heresy in the Democrats 546 00:32:55,280 --> 00:33:00,000 Speaker 1: stronghold of Vermont. You're not allowed, and this is they're saying, 547 00:33:00,240 --> 00:33:06,520 Speaker 1: this is a violation of a gender discrimination So the school, 548 00:33:06,600 --> 00:33:10,960 Speaker 1: this Christian school, has had its affiliation in the athletic 549 00:33:11,080 --> 00:33:15,280 Speaker 1: League that it is in canceled. They say that the 550 00:33:16,160 --> 00:33:23,960 Speaker 1: mid Vermont Christian School violated the organization's policies against gender discrimination, 551 00:33:25,280 --> 00:33:29,080 Speaker 1: and they say they're no longer able to be members 552 00:33:29,320 --> 00:33:33,920 Speaker 1: in this league. So this just goes to show you 553 00:33:35,080 --> 00:33:38,680 Speaker 1: how committed the left is to this. It's not enough. Remember, 554 00:33:38,800 --> 00:33:43,000 Speaker 1: they just forfeited, So they're not even taking action beyond saying, look, 555 00:33:43,040 --> 00:33:46,200 Speaker 1: we're just not going to play against a trends. We're 556 00:33:46,200 --> 00:33:47,920 Speaker 1: not going to play against the team that has a 557 00:33:47,920 --> 00:33:50,680 Speaker 1: transgender student. Look, I'm a forty one year old man. 558 00:33:51,200 --> 00:33:53,880 Speaker 1: If I decided that I was actually an eighth grader 559 00:33:54,440 --> 00:33:57,160 Speaker 1: and that I wanted to play eighth grade basketball, I 560 00:33:57,200 --> 00:34:00,600 Speaker 1: would hope, I would hope that all of the parents 561 00:34:00,680 --> 00:34:02,320 Speaker 1: on that eighth grade basketball team that I was going 562 00:34:02,400 --> 00:34:05,360 Speaker 1: to play against would say, this is not fair, this 563 00:34:05,440 --> 00:34:09,919 Speaker 1: is crazy, and we're not going to allow it. We're 564 00:34:09,920 --> 00:34:11,680 Speaker 1: not going to allow it. I mean, I remember I 565 00:34:11,800 --> 00:34:15,000 Speaker 1: used to make the argument many years ago that and 566 00:34:15,040 --> 00:34:17,840 Speaker 1: I'm talking about two thousand when I first started in radio, 567 00:34:17,960 --> 00:34:22,239 Speaker 1: so twelvesh twelve years ago, now maybe ten eleven years ago, 568 00:34:22,320 --> 00:34:25,000 Speaker 1: I said, what about transgender because this is when the 569 00:34:25,000 --> 00:34:28,640 Speaker 1: beginnings of the transgender athlete thing was becoming really really 570 00:34:29,960 --> 00:34:36,080 Speaker 1: a debate. I said, what about combative sports? What about MMA? 571 00:34:36,120 --> 00:34:42,320 Speaker 1: And sure enough, within a short period after having these discussions, 572 00:34:42,360 --> 00:34:44,279 Speaker 1: and by the way, the left then they're gas letting. 573 00:34:44,320 --> 00:34:47,879 Speaker 1: Then was that'll never happen. Nobody will want to do that. 574 00:34:48,080 --> 00:34:51,080 Speaker 1: There's no transgender man who wants to fight against whom 575 00:34:51,080 --> 00:34:55,480 Speaker 1: in the MMA. Actually there are, and in one case, 576 00:34:56,040 --> 00:35:02,239 Speaker 1: the individual just watching the fight between the biological man 577 00:35:02,440 --> 00:35:04,680 Speaker 1: and the women in the cave. I mean, it's horrific, 578 00:35:05,280 --> 00:35:09,879 Speaker 1: it's wrong, it's unethical, it's gross. And yet the left 579 00:35:09,560 --> 00:35:13,720 Speaker 1: they won't budge on this stuff. Their argument is crazy, 580 00:35:13,760 --> 00:35:16,919 Speaker 1: so they're going to keep making crazy arguments. In fact, 581 00:35:16,920 --> 00:35:18,920 Speaker 1: they don't even really have an argument. What is the 582 00:35:19,000 --> 00:35:23,880 Speaker 1: argument here that there's gender discription, you have gender segregated sports, 583 00:35:24,360 --> 00:35:28,839 Speaker 1: but it's gender discrimination. To insist that the gender segregated 584 00:35:28,920 --> 00:35:33,360 Speaker 1: sports are actually segregated by gender. That is what is 585 00:35:33,400 --> 00:35:36,880 Speaker 1: happening in Vermont right now. The Vermont you know Athletic 586 00:35:36,960 --> 00:35:41,959 Speaker 1: Association involved the State of Vermont, the Democrat apparatus there, 587 00:35:42,760 --> 00:35:46,279 Speaker 1: they're all in favor of punishing this team this. Of 588 00:35:46,280 --> 00:35:48,400 Speaker 1: course it's a Christian school too, which is great. That 589 00:35:48,520 --> 00:35:53,360 Speaker 1: gets extra extra points for slapping down a Christian school, 590 00:35:53,400 --> 00:35:57,320 Speaker 1: you know, that gets the left really excited, godless commies. 591 00:35:58,080 --> 00:36:03,160 Speaker 1: So you look at this, you say, what exactly are 592 00:36:03,200 --> 00:36:08,040 Speaker 1: the rules? I mean, I'm just wondering. And the State 593 00:36:08,080 --> 00:36:12,719 Speaker 1: of Vermont right now, and the you know, looking at that, 594 00:36:12,800 --> 00:36:14,759 Speaker 1: the Vermont I'm trying to find the name of this, uh, 595 00:36:14,800 --> 00:36:20,920 Speaker 1: this entity that is banning them whatever, But the VPA 596 00:36:21,120 --> 00:36:24,120 Speaker 1: Vermont Public Athletic Association, I guess I don't know, something 597 00:36:24,160 --> 00:36:30,640 Speaker 1: like that. The Vermont Principles Association, the Vermont Principles Association, UM. 598 00:36:30,920 --> 00:36:32,840 Speaker 1: Their official policy is that if you live in the 599 00:36:32,840 --> 00:36:37,399 Speaker 1: state of Vermont and and an eighteen year old boy 600 00:36:37,680 --> 00:36:42,480 Speaker 1: wants to play basketball against your eighteen year old daughter, 601 00:36:43,120 --> 00:36:46,200 Speaker 1: if she has a problem with that, she better shut up. 602 00:36:46,400 --> 00:36:48,880 Speaker 1: And if she gets an elbow into the face from this, 603 00:36:49,040 --> 00:36:51,600 Speaker 1: you know, from this guy and his you know, swinging 604 00:36:51,680 --> 00:36:54,680 Speaker 1: his elbows around, he's got it, you know. The probably 605 00:36:54,719 --> 00:36:57,640 Speaker 1: a little bit of a beard growing, that's her problem. 606 00:36:58,600 --> 00:37:00,720 Speaker 1: You notice they always try to make this about kindness, 607 00:37:00,800 --> 00:37:04,160 Speaker 1: but actually what they're doing is trying to rely on 608 00:37:04,680 --> 00:37:08,919 Speaker 1: the desire that people who are traditional in their view 609 00:37:08,920 --> 00:37:12,480 Speaker 1: of gender to be kind so that the people on 610 00:37:12,520 --> 00:37:15,560 Speaker 1: the left can do vicious things. This is wrong, this 611 00:37:15,600 --> 00:37:17,360 Speaker 1: is absurd. It's also a slap in the face to 612 00:37:17,480 --> 00:37:22,840 Speaker 1: women's athletics. What is the point of this, right, What 613 00:37:23,560 --> 00:37:26,359 Speaker 1: is the rationale behind it? Exactly as you know, it's 614 00:37:26,400 --> 00:37:29,719 Speaker 1: the eradication of gender, and even more than that, it 615 00:37:29,880 --> 00:37:32,360 Speaker 1: is to force you to bend the knee to insanity. 616 00:37:32,560 --> 00:37:35,560 Speaker 1: If they can make you affirm obvious lies, they can 617 00:37:35,600 --> 00:37:40,880 Speaker 1: make you believe and affirm anything they own you psychologically, 618 00:37:40,920 --> 00:37:43,960 Speaker 1: if they can make you say, hey, there's no problem here. 619 00:37:44,080 --> 00:37:46,200 Speaker 1: So it's an eighteen year old guy that decided he 620 00:37:46,239 --> 00:37:47,879 Speaker 1: was a woman, I don't know a few months ago, 621 00:37:48,280 --> 00:37:51,200 Speaker 1: and he wants to play against women's basketball. This is great, 622 00:37:51,280 --> 00:37:53,960 Speaker 1: this is progress. And by the way, there are a 623 00:37:54,000 --> 00:37:57,840 Speaker 1: lot of Democrat parents who go along with this. A 624 00:37:57,840 --> 00:38:00,319 Speaker 1: lot of Biden voters go along with this because that 625 00:38:00,400 --> 00:38:03,600 Speaker 1: is what the herd demands of them. But yeah, up 626 00:38:03,600 --> 00:38:05,480 Speaker 1: in Vermont right now, that's what you're up against. We're 627 00:38:05,480 --> 00:38:07,480 Speaker 1: also going to talk in the third hour. By the way, 628 00:38:07,520 --> 00:38:12,720 Speaker 1: about Wellesley College, it's a women's college, but is it though? 629 00:38:14,080 --> 00:38:16,600 Speaker 1: Is there a women's because the students there wanted to 630 00:38:16,640 --> 00:38:24,680 Speaker 1: be open to not only transgender women, but non binary individuals, 631 00:38:25,560 --> 00:38:27,640 Speaker 1: which I feel like that leaves a lot of it's 632 00:38:27,640 --> 00:38:29,879 Speaker 1: a lot of open territories. And we'll talk we'll talk 633 00:38:29,920 --> 00:38:32,560 Speaker 1: about this. We'll talk about this. Oh yes, Oh. And 634 00:38:32,640 --> 00:38:36,160 Speaker 1: also Lindsey Graham had some thoughts on what we should 635 00:38:36,200 --> 00:38:41,240 Speaker 1: do about Russian planes South Carolina. I love South Carolina. 636 00:38:41,280 --> 00:38:43,520 Speaker 1: It's one of my favorite states to visit. South Carolina. 637 00:38:43,520 --> 00:38:46,000 Speaker 1: Republican voters, we got to have a talk about Lindsay Graham. Okay, 638 00:38:46,280 --> 00:38:50,840 Speaker 1: we got to have a discussion about this. March fifteenth Today, 639 00:38:51,280 --> 00:38:54,240 Speaker 1: we're about a month away from tax Day, which is Tuesday, 640 00:38:54,280 --> 00:38:57,560 Speaker 1: April eighteenth. As you know, there's no shortage of early 641 00:38:57,680 --> 00:39:00,640 Speaker 1: filers looking for their tax refund check. Included in that 642 00:39:00,680 --> 00:39:03,600 Speaker 1: group are scammers filing phony tax returns ahead of those 643 00:39:03,600 --> 00:39:06,840 Speaker 1: intended to get those filed by April eighteenth. The scammers 644 00:39:06,920 --> 00:39:09,919 Speaker 1: use data they've obtained in online identity thefts to score 645 00:39:09,960 --> 00:39:12,840 Speaker 1: a refund check before a rightful owner is able to 646 00:39:12,880 --> 00:39:16,920 Speaker 1: get their refund. The IRS doesn't know they're processing refunds 647 00:39:16,920 --> 00:39:19,360 Speaker 1: as quickly as they come in. But this phony filing 648 00:39:19,360 --> 00:39:21,800 Speaker 1: of a tax return is another example of what happens 649 00:39:21,800 --> 00:39:26,200 Speaker 1: when your online identity gets stolen.

Hey, y'all, Yeah, is 687 00:41:22,160 --> 00:41:25,000 Speaker 1: the MQ one in Q nine? SMEE at the PENTAGONUS 688 00:41:25,239 --> 00:41:29,000 Speaker 1: SMEE being somepretty bad expert for four years. What can 689 00:41:29,040 --> 00:41:31,279 Speaker 1: I tell you about the m Q nine that would help? 690 00:41:32,440 --> 00:41:34,279 Speaker 1: How could they have brought this thing? I mean, I 691 00:41:34,280 --> 00:41:36,760 Speaker 1: hope you heard the conversation with the F four pilot. 692 00:41:37,040 --> 00:41:40,959 Speaker 1: How could they have brought this thing down? Well, it's there. 693 00:41:41,000 --> 00:41:43,440 Speaker 1: They're very fragile, to tell you the truth. And they 694 00:41:43,840 --> 00:41:47,040 Speaker 1: didn't that way specifically to be light and be able 695 00:41:47,080 --> 00:41:50,759 Speaker 1: to go airborne. The MQ nine, I don't know which 696 00:41:50,840 --> 00:41:52,879 Speaker 1: version they had, but you know, a full twenty four 697 00:41:52,920 --> 00:41:56,399 Speaker 1: hours worse if they're not carrying any ordinance on it 698 00:41:56,960 --> 00:41:59,239 Speaker 1: and just a bunch of gas. Normally we did in 699 00:41:59,360 --> 00:42:02,240 Speaker 1: Q nines around eighteen hours, in Q Nuance about twenty 700 00:42:02,560 --> 00:42:06,480 Speaker 1: twenty one hours. But they're light, they're fragile, and you 701 00:42:06,520 --> 00:42:10,400 Speaker 1: could clip a wing and do some damage. You could 702 00:42:10,440 --> 00:42:15,520 Speaker 1: get in front of it and cause enough turbulence to 703 00:42:15,640 --> 00:42:18,680 Speaker 1: actually break walk with the satellites and send it into us. 704 00:42:18,719 --> 00:42:22,560 Speaker 1: Really it's possible. And if if they if he was 705 00:42:22,640 --> 00:42:25,560 Speaker 1: if they were just stupid and they clipped the prop 706 00:42:25,800 --> 00:42:29,160 Speaker 1: with their radar dome, which they may have done, it 707 00:42:29,200 --> 00:42:33,399 Speaker 1: would have shattered the fiberglass prop. Do you do you think, 708 00:42:33,440 --> 00:42:36,440 Speaker 1: by the way that I mean asking now for the 709 00:42:36,920 --> 00:42:40,800 Speaker 1: manned side of the aerial equation and the expertise you 710 00:42:40,800 --> 00:42:43,120 Speaker 1: can give us on this one. Do you think that 711 00:42:43,480 --> 00:42:47,919 Speaker 1: the Pentagon is planning to do massive training and then 712 00:42:48,600 --> 00:42:50,920 Speaker 1: or you know, a training program and then deployment of 713 00:42:51,680 --> 00:42:55,920 Speaker 1: American planes not manned by US, obviously by Ukrainian pilots. 714 00:42:56,200 --> 00:42:58,040 Speaker 1: But is that going to get introduced into this theater 715 00:42:58,120 --> 00:43:01,480 Speaker 1: or warfare? Do you think in the future. You know, 716 00:43:01,600 --> 00:43:04,359 Speaker 1: that's that's a really good question. I think it would 717 00:43:04,400 --> 00:43:09,239 Speaker 1: be rather silly if we want to give them the 718 00:43:09,320 --> 00:43:13,239 Speaker 1: hardware and let them do it. Okay, fine. The other 719 00:43:13,239 --> 00:43:16,320 Speaker 1: thing I wanted to say was, Lindsay Graham needs to 720 00:43:16,400 --> 00:43:19,880 Speaker 1: check himself before he recks all of us. That was 721 00:43:20,080 --> 00:43:23,279 Speaker 1: a piece of fiberglass that we sent up and one 722 00:43:23,320 --> 00:43:25,279 Speaker 1: of the reasons we like it so much is because 723 00:43:25,320 --> 00:43:27,399 Speaker 1: there's not a little pink but sitting in the seat 724 00:43:27,400 --> 00:43:30,640 Speaker 1: of back, Yeah, it's a different I mean, we all 725 00:43:30,680 --> 00:43:34,680 Speaker 1: can recognize it's a different thing to shoot. Yeah, it's expensive, 726 00:43:34,719 --> 00:43:37,040 Speaker 1: but Uncle Sam's got pretty deep pockets. To bring a 727 00:43:37,120 --> 00:43:40,480 Speaker 1: drone down is a very different thing than shooting a 728 00:43:40,520 --> 00:43:44,040 Speaker 1: pilot out of the sky and having his family given 729 00:43:44,040 --> 00:43:46,760 Speaker 1: a folded flag, right. I mean we all Russian, American, 730 00:43:46,840 --> 00:43:50,080 Speaker 1: anybody would understand that. So I don't know. I don't 731 00:43:50,080 --> 00:43:51,960 Speaker 1: know why people listen to Lindsay Graham on this stuff. 732 00:43:51,960 --> 00:43:54,120 Speaker 1: I mean, he's a senator and he's been in the 733 00:43:54,120 --> 00:43:55,880 Speaker 1: game a long time. Thank you for calling in, Bruce 734 00:43:55,880 --> 00:43:57,640 Speaker 1: from New Mexico. I appreciate it. We had to look 735 00:43:57,640 --> 00:43:59,640 Speaker 1: at this is what I always love. I can sit 736 00:43:59,760 --> 00:44:03,719 Speaker 1: here this audience, it is amazing. I can crowdsource, particularly 737 00:44:03,880 --> 00:44:09,120 Speaker 1: on firearms history, anything military related. I can crowdsource the 738 00:44:09,160 --> 00:44:12,320 Speaker 1: most specific question imaginable and I'll get an answer. I 739 00:44:12,320 --> 00:44:15,239 Speaker 1: could ask somebody, hey, if the third widget from the 740 00:44:15,360 --> 00:44:19,719 Speaker 1: left on the rotor of a of a Blackhawk helicopter 741 00:44:20,120 --> 00:44:22,520 Speaker 1: has come a little bit loose, what can I use 742 00:44:22,560 --> 00:44:26,640 Speaker 1: in my toolbox? I will have like a nightstalker mechanic 743 00:44:27,120 --> 00:44:29,920 Speaker 1: calling in within within five minutes telling me exactly how 744 00:44:29,920 --> 00:44:32,440 Speaker 1: to fix. It's amazing we can bring to bear on 745 00:44:32,480 --> 00:44:36,320 Speaker 1: this show. Um, anyway, we've got call. I mean, we 746 00:44:36,440 --> 00:44:39,719 Speaker 1: got some emails into I wanted to get to let's 747 00:44:39,719 --> 00:44:44,160 Speaker 1: see this one. This is instant some andy. It goes 748 00:44:44,200 --> 00:44:49,000 Speaker 1: to the Trump discantists throwdown, which is it's underway, folks, 749 00:44:49,080 --> 00:44:50,959 Speaker 1: it's happening now right. We didn't want to get ahead 750 00:44:50,960 --> 00:44:54,160 Speaker 1: of ourselves, but you know there's there's friendly fire getting 751 00:44:54,160 --> 00:44:57,239 Speaker 1: thrown around here. That's that's what's going on. I Clay 752 00:44:57,239 --> 00:44:59,760 Speaker 1: and Buck and we better. I suppose if the Donald 753 00:44:59,840 --> 00:45:03,399 Speaker 1: may nice and acted a bit more civil toward Dessantis. 754 00:45:04,400 --> 00:45:06,960 Speaker 1: But don't hold your breath. President Trump, for all his 755 00:45:07,000 --> 00:45:11,200 Speaker 1: brilliance and common sense, though he showed terrible judgment with 756 00:45:11,239 --> 00:45:14,560 Speaker 1: some of his picks, the people he picked. We're living 757 00:45:14,600 --> 00:45:17,520 Speaker 1: through a very crass and vulgar age in America. And 758 00:45:17,600 --> 00:45:20,560 Speaker 1: who is the crass vulgarian with the common touch, of course, 759 00:45:20,600 --> 00:45:23,359 Speaker 1: the man of the hour, sent by the Lord. Some say, 760 00:45:24,080 --> 00:45:26,839 Speaker 1: I personally am sitting on the fifty yard line on this, 761 00:45:26,960 --> 00:45:29,680 Speaker 1: though I have voted for him twice and will again 762 00:45:29,760 --> 00:45:33,840 Speaker 1: a third time. Though somewhat leary, he leaves Versailles on 763 00:45:33,880 --> 00:45:36,560 Speaker 1: the Atlantic to give a rally to the trailer park 764 00:45:36,560 --> 00:45:38,839 Speaker 1: in Alabama to people that are holding on to being 765 00:45:38,880 --> 00:45:43,799 Speaker 1: middle class? Is this what politics is? So? You know, 766 00:45:43,840 --> 00:45:48,319 Speaker 1: he says Donald is right in the war in Ukraine, etc. Etc. 767 00:45:48,760 --> 00:45:53,959 Speaker 1: Thank you best. Andy. Look, you know people are gonna 768 00:45:53,960 --> 00:45:57,000 Speaker 1: get this is gonna be a very passionate debate, and 769 00:45:57,120 --> 00:45:59,640 Speaker 1: people feel very strongly about it. People reaching out to 770 00:45:59,640 --> 00:46:04,600 Speaker 1: me on both sides. And it's interesting because every the 771 00:46:04,680 --> 00:46:06,799 Speaker 1: people that I know who want to Scantists to win 772 00:46:06,840 --> 00:46:11,760 Speaker 1: this primary are all overwhelmingly saying things like, I voted 773 00:46:11,760 --> 00:46:13,920 Speaker 1: for Trump twice. I respect him so much, I like 774 00:46:14,040 --> 00:46:17,320 Speaker 1: him so much. The Trump people who now when I 775 00:46:17,360 --> 00:46:19,480 Speaker 1: say Trump people, I'll vote for Trump obviously if he's 776 00:46:19,480 --> 00:46:21,960 Speaker 1: a nominee. Any Republican shop vote for Trump if he's 777 00:46:21,960 --> 00:46:24,480 Speaker 1: a nominee. We're just talking about primaries right now. But 778 00:46:24,560 --> 00:46:27,240 Speaker 1: people who have already said they're all in on Trump, 779 00:46:27,800 --> 00:46:30,520 Speaker 1: they don't say Desantist is a clown, I don't like um, 780 00:46:30,680 --> 00:46:32,440 Speaker 1: he's a no, no no. They say he's a very 781 00:46:32,520 --> 00:46:35,920 Speaker 1: good governor. His time will come. So it's really interesting 782 00:46:35,960 --> 00:46:40,320 Speaker 1: because you're gonna see this huge fight, but both sides 783 00:46:40,840 --> 00:46:44,719 Speaker 1: respect the primary combatant that is the choice of the 784 00:46:44,719 --> 00:46:48,400 Speaker 1: other side. I feel like that's that's uncommon. I'm really 785 00:46:48,440 --> 00:46:50,480 Speaker 1: seeing this a lot. You know, the people that are 786 00:46:50,520 --> 00:46:55,560 Speaker 1: the most ardent Trump primary voters to be Obviously it 787 00:46:55,560 --> 00:46:58,520 Speaker 1: hasn't happened yet. They all tell me they think Desantist 788 00:46:58,520 --> 00:47:01,239 Speaker 1: has done an amazing job in Florida and he's you know, 789 00:47:01,320 --> 00:47:04,319 Speaker 1: he's deserves a lot of credit and his day will come. 790 00:47:04,600 --> 00:47:06,839 Speaker 1: That's what That's what I'm hearing. I mean, not from 791 00:47:06,880 --> 00:47:10,680 Speaker 1: absolutely everybody, but ninety five percent and all the descent 792 00:47:10,800 --> 00:47:12,719 Speaker 1: is people you know, are saying Trump is amazing. He 793 00:47:12,800 --> 00:47:15,560 Speaker 1: built this movement. But we think because of his age, 794 00:47:15,680 --> 00:47:18,680 Speaker 1: YadA YadA, it could be very interesting to see where 795 00:47:18,680 --> 00:47:21,560 Speaker 1: this all plays out and where it goes. And we're 796 00:47:21,600 --> 00:47:23,759 Speaker 1: excited to be a part of that conversation with all 797 00:47:23,800 --> 00:47:25,880 Speaker 1: of you. Thanks for hanging out with us. Talk to 798 00:47:25,880 --> 00:47:26,400 Speaker 1: you tomorrow.
