1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,360 Speaker 1: Welcome to today's edition of the Clay Travis and buck 2 00:00:03,400 --> 00:00:07,960 Speaker 1: Sexton Show podcast. Welcome in Tuesday edition Clay Travis buck 3 00:00:08,039 --> 00:00:11,640 Speaker 1: Sexton Show. Appreciate all of you hanging out with us. 4 00:00:12,280 --> 00:00:15,440 Speaker 1: Lots to dive into as we come up on the 5 00:00:15,600 --> 00:00:19,560 Speaker 1: end of November, and we are going to be very 6 00:00:19,640 --> 00:00:23,400 Speaker 1: rapidly able to say in one month voting starts for 7 00:00:23,680 --> 00:00:26,320 Speaker 1: the twenty twenty four election, and many of you listening 8 00:00:26,360 --> 00:00:29,920 Speaker 1: to us in Iowa, New Hampshire and certainly any bordering 9 00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:33,199 Speaker 1: state in that region feel like the election has been 10 00:00:33,240 --> 00:00:35,440 Speaker 1: going on for a long time now based on all 11 00:00:35,479 --> 00:00:39,919 Speaker 1: of the political advertisements you have been seeing. And as 12 00:00:39,960 --> 00:00:42,800 Speaker 1: we get ready for Ron DeSantis to debate against Gavin 13 00:00:42,880 --> 00:00:46,760 Speaker 1: Newsom on Thursday, and what will be the fourth Republican 14 00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:51,640 Speaker 1: primary debate next week it should be taking place in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, 15 00:00:51,680 --> 00:00:55,440 Speaker 1: with Chris Christy, the Ay Ramaswami, Nikki Haley, and Ron 16 00:00:55,480 --> 00:00:59,280 Speaker 1: DeSantis on the stage. I think it is fair to say, 17 00:00:59,720 --> 00:01:03,640 Speaker 1: as we sit here really about six weeks out from 18 00:01:03,800 --> 00:01:07,640 Speaker 1: official voting, that right now, the great debate that is 19 00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:12,000 Speaker 1: going on in the Republican primary elector it is Trump 20 00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:16,880 Speaker 1: versus Who, And I'm reading from the New York Times 21 00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:21,920 Speaker 1: this morning, the Coke Network has endorsed Nicky Haley in 22 00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:24,600 Speaker 1: and I'm reading this New York Times headline in a 23 00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:29,360 Speaker 1: bid to push Republicans past Trump. The support will give 24 00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:33,920 Speaker 1: Haley more organizational strength as she battles Ron DeSantis for 25 00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:38,280 Speaker 1: the number two spot in the Republican presidential race. And 26 00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:42,360 Speaker 1: this is the Coke Network theoretically going to lead to 27 00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:46,920 Speaker 1: tens of millions of dollars being spent on behalf of 28 00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:51,040 Speaker 1: Nicky Haley and Buck. What stands out to me about 29 00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:54,280 Speaker 1: this is, right now, we seem to be in a 30 00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:59,840 Speaker 1: pause where it's not so much everyone running against the 31 00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:04,080 Speaker 1: the leader Trump as it is. Okay, who is going 32 00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:08,120 Speaker 1: to be the alternative to Trump in the Republican primary. 33 00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:11,720 Speaker 1: It's fair to say it's down to Ron DeSantis and 34 00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:14,760 Speaker 1: Nicky Haley. I like Vivek, You like Viveke. We've had 35 00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:17,840 Speaker 1: Chris Christy on the show. Those guys don't really have 36 00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:20,680 Speaker 1: a chance to become the alternative. It is going to 37 00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:24,720 Speaker 1: be Nicky Haley or Ron DeSantis. But my question for you, Buck, 38 00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:30,959 Speaker 1: is is it the case that as now Nicky Haley 39 00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:34,800 Speaker 1: and Ron DeSantis are likely turning their guns on each 40 00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:39,120 Speaker 1: other and trying to be the surviving number two, the 41 00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:42,919 Speaker 1: alternative to Trump. That this is the best possible thing 42 00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:46,200 Speaker 1: that could ever happen to Trump, and that while there 43 00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:48,240 Speaker 1: is a battle to figure out who's going to be 44 00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:53,000 Speaker 1: in second place, by the time a second place is determined, 45 00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:56,040 Speaker 1: Trump is already going to have won the nomination and 46 00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:58,720 Speaker 1: it's not going to matter. How would you assess the 47 00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:01,800 Speaker 1: so called horse ray, because I think that is six 48 00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:04,840 Speaker 1: weeks out the number one story not who's going to 49 00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:08,359 Speaker 1: be running against Trump, but who is the primary alternative 50 00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:08,880 Speaker 1: to Trump. 51 00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:12,480 Speaker 2: Well, clearly something is going on here because the Haley 52 00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:16,880 Speaker 2: and DeSantis super packs are attacking each other, millions of 53 00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:21,240 Speaker 2: dollars spent now recently going after each other instead of 54 00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:25,120 Speaker 2: going after Trump, the front runner. I see a couple 55 00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:29,240 Speaker 2: of different versions of the strategy here unfolding before us. 56 00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:34,040 Speaker 2: On the one hand, I think it's possible that both 57 00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:36,680 Speaker 2: of the and this is certainly what they would say openly, right. 58 00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:40,240 Speaker 2: I mean option A, I think is the official position, 59 00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:42,800 Speaker 2: and it would be that the DeSantis and Haley camps 60 00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:46,400 Speaker 2: are saying the other one. Depending on which one you're 61 00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:50,040 Speaker 2: talking about, the other second tier needs to get out 62 00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:52,680 Speaker 2: so I can square off against Trump, which I've been 63 00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:55,720 Speaker 2: talking about looking at those numbers. That's option A. Option 64 00:03:55,880 --> 00:04:00,160 Speaker 2: B is at a little bit of it of of 65 00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:04,160 Speaker 2: a different, different vibe, which is that they're hoping to 66 00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:07,000 Speaker 2: be in a second place position. I mean specifically, I 67 00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:10,800 Speaker 2: think for the Nikki Haley camp, where it's a contest 68 00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:14,000 Speaker 2: to be vice president effectively, right, like Trump's only got 69 00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:18,240 Speaker 2: one term for if Haley can assure herself a VP 70 00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:23,279 Speaker 2: ticket with Trump and then bring that together meaning her voters, 71 00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:26,280 Speaker 2: his voters, she only gets she only has to be 72 00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:30,440 Speaker 2: the VP for two years basically, and then she starts 73 00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:32,760 Speaker 2: running for president. Then she's going out raising her own 74 00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:35,480 Speaker 2: money and maybe does so with the blessing of Trump. Right, 75 00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:39,080 Speaker 2: that's option B. I think that's the less likely strategy. 76 00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:43,120 Speaker 2: Maybe that's the plan be here, the secondary option. And 77 00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:47,480 Speaker 2: I'm trying to think if there's a viable option C, 78 00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:51,520 Speaker 2: a viable third third way here. The only thing would 79 00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:56,240 Speaker 2: be that the Haley and DeSantis campaigns figure they just 80 00:04:56,320 --> 00:04:58,520 Speaker 2: have to stay in long enough. And no one will 81 00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:00,920 Speaker 2: say this out loud, they just have to stay in 82 00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:04,120 Speaker 2: long enough to see, you know, maybe Trump ends up 83 00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:06,680 Speaker 2: running into some trouble here with these prosecutions, and maybe 84 00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:09,279 Speaker 2: the numbers shift and maybe things you know that would 85 00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:11,680 Speaker 2: be I think the third way, the third plan. Am 86 00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:13,960 Speaker 2: I missing anything or do you disagree with any of those? 87 00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:16,600 Speaker 1: No, I mean here's my thought of where we're headed. 88 00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:18,720 Speaker 1: I think ron De Santis is going to come in 89 00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:21,880 Speaker 1: second place in Iowa, and then I think Nicki Haley's 90 00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:25,159 Speaker 1: going to come in second place in New Hampshire, and 91 00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:27,920 Speaker 1: as a result, both of them are going to claim 92 00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:32,120 Speaker 1: they're actually the primary challenger to Trump, which means we 93 00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:37,000 Speaker 1: roll on into I think South Carolina, Nevada, these other states, 94 00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:41,560 Speaker 1: and Trump is going against Nicki Haley, Ronda Santis. I 95 00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:44,800 Speaker 1: think the Vega hold on. I think Chris Christy after 96 00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:48,159 Speaker 1: New Hampshire will drop out and endorse either Nicky Haley 97 00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:50,800 Speaker 1: or Ronda Santis, which he basically said he would do 98 00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:54,720 Speaker 1: on this show Wednesday if he were not the alternative 99 00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:57,760 Speaker 1: to Trump, that he would endorse Haley or DeSantis. He 100 00:05:57,839 --> 00:06:00,080 Speaker 1: thought that both of them would make good present. And 101 00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:04,320 Speaker 1: it's the problem is that I see and look open 102 00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:06,400 Speaker 1: phone lines. We don't have any guests today. Eight hundred 103 00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:09,240 Speaker 1: and two A two two eight A two. You're welcome 104 00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:13,000 Speaker 1: to tell Buck or myself what are we missing. I 105 00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:15,599 Speaker 1: think that this battle for who is going to be 106 00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:20,800 Speaker 1: the alternative to Trump is hugely beneficial for Trump, and 107 00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:24,480 Speaker 1: so the idea this was the whole thing that happened 108 00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:27,680 Speaker 1: Buck in twenty sixteen, which is sooner or later you're 109 00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:30,600 Speaker 1: going to be on the stage one v one versus Trump, 110 00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:34,000 Speaker 1: and Trump will collapse. Then I just keep coming back 111 00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:38,040 Speaker 1: to the raw math, and you can correct me if 112 00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:40,479 Speaker 1: I'm wrong out there, and you are a diehard Nicky 113 00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:46,240 Speaker 1: Haley supporter, I think that Ron DeSantis, if he decided tomorrow, hey, 114 00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:49,280 Speaker 1: I'm dropping out of this race. I think Ron de 115 00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:53,960 Speaker 1: santis supporters would overwhelmingly go to Trump. In other words, 116 00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:56,599 Speaker 1: I don't see and tell me where I'm wrong. They 117 00:06:56,640 --> 00:06:58,920 Speaker 1: are Nicky Haley people out there listening right now. Tell 118 00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:01,720 Speaker 1: me why you think I'm wrong. I don't see how 119 00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:06,880 Speaker 1: Nicky Haley wins a one v one versus Trump, because 120 00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:09,840 Speaker 1: I think the FAG supporters go to Trump. I think 121 00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:13,480 Speaker 1: DeSantis's supporters go to Trump. I mean the majority of them. 122 00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:17,200 Speaker 1: And if Nicky Haley's already forty points behind or thirty 123 00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:19,720 Speaker 1: points or whatever you want to say, she is in Iowa, 124 00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:24,200 Speaker 1: New Hampshire. I am not a mathematical scholar, buck, but 125 00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:27,440 Speaker 1: I'm pretty good at mathematical ideas the impact. I think 126 00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:30,120 Speaker 1: i've said this to you before you'll appreciate this. The 127 00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:33,600 Speaker 1: only math course I took in college was mathematical ideas. 128 00:07:33,880 --> 00:07:37,360 Speaker 2: That's literally what that sounds are really really numerical and intest. 129 00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:40,040 Speaker 1: Yes, And it was me and every sorority girl at 130 00:07:40,080 --> 00:07:42,920 Speaker 1: George Washington University. It is maybe the best course selection 131 00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:47,440 Speaker 1: choice I ever made. Not diehard math, right, but I'm 132 00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:50,760 Speaker 1: pretty good at mathematical concepts and the raw math. If 133 00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:53,200 Speaker 1: I'm standing in front of a board right now and 134 00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:57,040 Speaker 1: I'm drawing it, Nicky Haley's supporters are not going to 135 00:07:57,080 --> 00:08:01,240 Speaker 1: Trump DeSantis supporters. I think the majority of them would 136 00:08:01,320 --> 00:08:03,320 Speaker 1: go to Trump. I don't see how the math works 137 00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:05,120 Speaker 1: out here for Nicki Haley. What am I missing? 138 00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:12,480 Speaker 2: So if I'm advising Nicky Haley behind the scenes, if 139 00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:15,920 Speaker 2: I'm giving her my sort of best sense of what's 140 00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:18,480 Speaker 2: going to happen here, I don't see how she could 141 00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:21,840 Speaker 2: have a safer play. Then Look, everyone has to see 142 00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:23,640 Speaker 2: what the voting is in Iowa, New Hampshire, and then 143 00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:25,280 Speaker 2: I think there may be deals to be struck. I 144 00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:27,960 Speaker 2: think you're right. I think that DeSantis is likely to 145 00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:31,120 Speaker 2: come in second in Iowa. If DeSantis pulls out a 146 00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:33,920 Speaker 2: win there, there is this theory that then the dominoes 147 00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:36,560 Speaker 2: all fall and people change their minds. I mean, that 148 00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:39,200 Speaker 2: would be the biggest come from behind. I'm not saying 149 00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:41,439 Speaker 2: it's impossible. I don't know. I always point out and 150 00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:44,800 Speaker 2: no one can predict the future. But to me, if 151 00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:48,440 Speaker 2: DeSantis is able to win in Iowa, maybe something big 152 00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:50,800 Speaker 2: happens if he comes in second and then Haley comes 153 00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:54,240 Speaker 2: in second in New Hampshire. If I'm the Haley camp, 154 00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:56,520 Speaker 2: I say, look, if you can bring together the donor 155 00:08:56,559 --> 00:09:00,720 Speaker 2: class with Trump World, you win the primary. I don't 156 00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:04,160 Speaker 2: you know that. My pitch would be, Hey, Donald, woman VP, 157 00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:08,640 Speaker 2: who is tight with the donor class, who worked in 158 00:09:08,679 --> 00:09:10,200 Speaker 2: your administration. 159 00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:13,040 Speaker 1: That then left your administration in good, good stead. See 160 00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:16,000 Speaker 1: that's my thing. I don't think Nikki Hayley's really bucked 161 00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:17,360 Speaker 1: trying to win well. 162 00:09:17,400 --> 00:09:19,840 Speaker 2: But but if she's trying to be VP, she's playing 163 00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:22,640 Speaker 2: it very well because what she ends up doing here 164 00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:24,160 Speaker 2: in this process, this is what I was gonna go 165 00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:27,200 Speaker 2: to is she is a fact She has taken the 166 00:09:27,240 --> 00:09:31,560 Speaker 2: mantle from Viveake of the other person in the race 167 00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:34,600 Speaker 2: who is boxing out Rohn DeSantis. She is doing a 168 00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:37,280 Speaker 2: better job to box out the Desanta's team than Viveke 169 00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:41,800 Speaker 2: is right now, and that is clearly catching the eye 170 00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:45,000 Speaker 2: of Trump world. And you'll notice she does have I 171 00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:47,480 Speaker 2: missed anything. She doesn't go after Trump all that hard. 172 00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:49,240 Speaker 2: She'll say, oh, I think I'm better at the job. Well, 173 00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:51,360 Speaker 2: you know, everyone should say that if they're gonna run 174 00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:54,360 Speaker 2: for president, but she hasn't. She's not you know, uh, 175 00:09:54,480 --> 00:09:57,280 Speaker 2: talking about the insurrection or saying that twenty twenty wasn't 176 00:09:57,320 --> 00:09:59,800 Speaker 2: stolen or whatever. She's not going after Trump hard. I 177 00:09:59,800 --> 00:10:01,800 Speaker 2: think she's leaving the option. Yeah. 178 00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:05,600 Speaker 1: I just again, it basic mathematics, and I'm open to again, 179 00:10:05,640 --> 00:10:07,080 Speaker 1: I took mathematical ideas. 180 00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:07,360 Speaker 2: I am. 181 00:10:07,520 --> 00:10:11,320 Speaker 1: I am not, you know, a genius when it comes 182 00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:13,640 Speaker 1: to mathematics. 183 00:10:13,640 --> 00:10:14,880 Speaker 2: I'm not pythagorous here. 184 00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:19,920 Speaker 1: But I do look at this and just say, man, 185 00:10:20,040 --> 00:10:22,000 Speaker 1: as I look at this and think about the way 186 00:10:22,040 --> 00:10:26,000 Speaker 1: it's going to play out, Nikki Hayley is setting herself 187 00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:29,440 Speaker 1: up to be Donald Trump's vice president. She's not setting 188 00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:32,800 Speaker 1: herself up to beat Trump. Ron DeSantis. I think both 189 00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:35,720 Speaker 1: of us agree. Buck will not take the VP role 190 00:10:35,800 --> 00:10:37,199 Speaker 1: from Donald Trump like he. 191 00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:40,120 Speaker 2: Like, no way, No. I mean, look at this again. 192 00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:42,720 Speaker 2: If we were sitting there and being asked to coach 193 00:10:43,280 --> 00:10:46,960 Speaker 2: or advise any respective team here, if you're De Santa's team, 194 00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:50,000 Speaker 2: you finish out being governor and then you gear up 195 00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:51,599 Speaker 2: for twenty twenty eight. I don't think you take I 196 00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:54,280 Speaker 2: don't think you take a VP slot. I think that's right. 197 00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:58,079 Speaker 1: Okay, So if if you are out there and I 198 00:10:58,080 --> 00:11:00,079 Speaker 1: don't know what the percentage of our audience is, but 199 00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:01,960 Speaker 1: let's say it's forty Let's say it's forty five percent. 200 00:11:02,080 --> 00:11:05,320 Speaker 1: Let's say it's thirty five percent. If you are die 201 00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:08,680 Speaker 1: hard anti Trump, I think your only option at this 202 00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:11,800 Speaker 1: point is Rond de Santis. Now, I'm not sure that 203 00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:14,880 Speaker 1: the math would add up for Ron DeSantis, because I 204 00:11:14,920 --> 00:11:18,160 Speaker 1: think the kill shot here would be Trump just coming 205 00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:20,560 Speaker 1: over the top and getting Nicky Haley as his VP 206 00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:23,840 Speaker 1: and you know, just basically saying this thing's over. 207 00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:26,680 Speaker 2: And at that point he could probably also offer Viveke something. 208 00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:27,880 Speaker 2: Oh yes, certainly. 209 00:11:27,880 --> 00:11:30,000 Speaker 1: Look, I think that they could be Secretary of the Treasury, 210 00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:35,120 Speaker 1: like whatever My argument is, If Nicky Haley really doesn't 211 00:11:35,160 --> 00:11:39,280 Speaker 1: want Trump to be president, I don't see how she 212 00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:42,000 Speaker 1: beats Trump, and I'm not sure Ron to say again, 213 00:11:42,040 --> 00:11:42,880 Speaker 1: it comes down to the math. 214 00:11:42,920 --> 00:11:44,280 Speaker 2: I'm not sure if Ron de sante. 215 00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:49,000 Speaker 1: But if Nicky Haley really doesn't want Trump to be president, 216 00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:51,160 Speaker 1: you can say a lot of things about Chris Christy. Right, 217 00:11:51,720 --> 00:11:54,600 Speaker 1: Chris Christy does not want Donald Trump to be president. 218 00:11:55,240 --> 00:11:58,760 Speaker 1: Even the most ardent anti Chris Christy audience member out 219 00:11:58,840 --> 00:12:01,240 Speaker 1: there would have to not along and say, yeah. 220 00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:02,400 Speaker 2: You know Chris Christy. 221 00:12:02,559 --> 00:12:05,800 Speaker 1: So Chris Christy, I think, would say, hey, would you 222 00:12:05,800 --> 00:12:10,960 Speaker 1: be attorney general in a Ron DeSantis administration. I think 223 00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:13,920 Speaker 1: the only way Trump could lose, and I think it 224 00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:18,760 Speaker 1: requires actually a raw acknowledgment of the math, would be 225 00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:21,840 Speaker 1: if Nicky Haley and Chris Christie said we're all in 226 00:12:21,880 --> 00:12:25,960 Speaker 1: with Ron DeSantis, we are running as a team against 227 00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:29,600 Speaker 1: Donald Trump. I don't think that that selflessness buck exists, 228 00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:32,840 Speaker 1: and I don't think that actually they cared that much 229 00:12:32,880 --> 00:12:37,480 Speaker 1: about beating Trump if it requires them to subsume their ambitions. 230 00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:38,920 Speaker 2: And make it less likely for them to be president. 231 00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:41,040 Speaker 2: I mean, look, Ron is a very you know you 232 00:12:41,120 --> 00:12:43,800 Speaker 2: and I both know Governor Santis is a very smart guy. 233 00:12:44,360 --> 00:12:46,160 Speaker 2: And if you're looking at this again just from the 234 00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:50,120 Speaker 2: perspective of what makes the most sense for the individual, 235 00:12:50,120 --> 00:12:52,360 Speaker 2: whether one agrees with this or not, if you're Rond 236 00:12:52,360 --> 00:12:55,360 Speaker 2: de Santis, you look at Trump a possible VP situation, 237 00:12:55,520 --> 00:12:57,200 Speaker 2: you think how to go for the last Trump VP? 238 00:12:58,040 --> 00:13:00,240 Speaker 2: And that's why I think he won't take it. Ki 239 00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:02,880 Speaker 2: Haley has a pretty good relationship with Trump already from 240 00:13:02,920 --> 00:13:05,760 Speaker 2: working for him as US Ambassador to the United Nations, 241 00:13:06,120 --> 00:13:09,120 Speaker 2: and that, to me, is is the difference. I think 242 00:13:09,160 --> 00:13:11,240 Speaker 2: she would be willing to do it, so that changes things, 243 00:13:11,280 --> 00:13:13,640 Speaker 2: But nothing's really gonna I don't think we're gonna see 244 00:13:13,640 --> 00:13:16,319 Speaker 2: any any What did I call it yesterday, a tectonic shift. 245 00:13:16,320 --> 00:13:18,880 Speaker 2: I kind of like that. No major shifts will happen 246 00:13:19,400 --> 00:13:24,600 Speaker 2: between now and the Iowa Caucuses. 247 00:13:24,640 --> 00:13:26,640 Speaker 1: I don't think you agree with me on the math here, like, 248 00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:29,640 Speaker 1: and I'm open to callers tell me I'm crazy, And again, 249 00:13:29,679 --> 00:13:32,480 Speaker 1: I'm not a mathematical genius. I just I don't see 250 00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:34,360 Speaker 1: how the math adds up for NICKI Haley to beat 251 00:13:34,400 --> 00:13:35,040 Speaker 1: Donald Trump. 252 00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:37,320 Speaker 2: I mean, it reminds me a lot of twenty sixteen, 253 00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:39,600 Speaker 2: twenty fifteen, twenty sixteen at this point where there were 254 00:13:39,679 --> 00:13:42,120 Speaker 2: a few people, as we said yesterday, there was Ted Cruz, 255 00:13:42,160 --> 00:13:44,200 Speaker 2: there was Mark or Rubio, there was John Kasik, and 256 00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:47,439 Speaker 2: they all stayed in and for the for the never 257 00:13:47,520 --> 00:13:50,480 Speaker 2: Trump or non Trump vote. At that point, a lot 258 00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:52,600 Speaker 2: of them were actually non Trump. There's really not people 259 00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:54,920 Speaker 2: always talking about never Trump. Never Trump is like five 260 00:13:54,960 --> 00:13:58,000 Speaker 2: guys raising money from Democrats. There's very little never Trump 261 00:13:58,080 --> 00:14:00,960 Speaker 2: getting really rich in the process. By the way, those 262 00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:04,760 Speaker 2: guys who are the Democrats, true true, never Trump is 263 00:14:04,760 --> 00:14:07,560 Speaker 2: called the Democrat. Right, So we've already we've already seen that. 264 00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:10,400 Speaker 2: But but you know, non Trump we're not not fired 265 00:14:10,480 --> 00:14:12,079 Speaker 2: up about. I'm talking about twenty sixteen. 266 00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:12,240 Speaker 3: Now. 267 00:14:12,320 --> 00:14:15,480 Speaker 2: Just to be clear, non Trump voters in twenty sixteen, 268 00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:18,080 Speaker 2: early in the primary, we're hoping there'd be some kind 269 00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:21,320 Speaker 2: of a opposition unity ticket to Trump, and it just 270 00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:24,400 Speaker 2: never materialized. In case, it kept his ten eleven, twelve 271 00:14:24,400 --> 00:14:27,760 Speaker 2: percent deep into the primary, and you had MAGA for 272 00:14:27,800 --> 00:14:29,920 Speaker 2: four years. Well, and that's why the math on this, 273 00:14:30,160 --> 00:14:33,920 Speaker 2: to me, it ultimately is just a mathematical equation. As 274 00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:37,280 Speaker 2: everybody drops out, those voters go. 275 00:14:37,320 --> 00:14:41,080 Speaker 1: To someone else. I just come back to Nicky Haley's 276 00:14:41,160 --> 00:14:44,440 Speaker 1: voters are likely to remain anti Trump, which would mean 277 00:14:44,480 --> 00:14:47,200 Speaker 1: they would go to Ron DeSantis. I think a lot 278 00:14:47,240 --> 00:14:50,480 Speaker 1: of Ron DeSantis, the majority of Rond DeSantis's support, would 279 00:14:50,560 --> 00:14:53,360 Speaker 1: actually begrudgingly go to Trump. And maybe I'm wrong on that. 280 00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:55,480 Speaker 1: Maybe they'd all go to NICKI Haley. If I am, 281 00:14:55,600 --> 00:14:57,880 Speaker 1: then we actually have a battle for who could be Trump. 282 00:14:57,920 --> 00:15:01,040 Speaker 1: I don't think I am. I think that most DeSantis 283 00:15:01,120 --> 00:15:04,360 Speaker 1: supporters would end up going to Trump. Cyber Monday can 284 00:15:04,440 --> 00:15:06,920 Speaker 1: lead into cyber theft Tuesday if you don't have LifeLock. 285 00:15:06,960 --> 00:15:10,040 Speaker 1: I guarantee their hackers working double time right now breaking 286 00:15:10,080 --> 00:15:14,080 Speaker 1: into data basis flush with new customer data.

It's going to effect 303 00:16:14,400 --> 00:16:17,400 Speaker 2: not just the presidential race, but key Senate race, is 304 00:16:17,440 --> 00:16:23,360 Speaker 2: congressional races. Because people realize now that as the phrase 305 00:16:23,400 --> 00:16:26,000 Speaker 2: has become more popular, every state is a border state, 306 00:16:26,040 --> 00:16:29,920 Speaker 2: every town is a border town. When you have over 307 00:16:30,040 --> 00:16:35,680 Speaker 2: six million illegal entries into the country in less than 308 00:16:35,680 --> 00:16:37,800 Speaker 2: four years, that will probably be seven or eight million 309 00:16:37,840 --> 00:16:40,280 Speaker 2: by the time we find out who the next president 310 00:16:40,360 --> 00:16:43,320 Speaker 2: is and who has control of the Congress the next congress. 311 00:16:44,240 --> 00:16:47,280 Speaker 2: When you're looking at numbers like that, everyone recognizes, or 312 00:16:47,360 --> 00:16:52,000 Speaker 2: rather anyone who's paying attention recognizes how big a challenge 313 00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:54,320 Speaker 2: it is and how big of a problem it is 314 00:16:54,440 --> 00:16:57,560 Speaker 2: for the country. But let's put some numbers this clay, 315 00:16:57,560 --> 00:17:00,880 Speaker 2: because there's a bunch of data that has just come 316 00:17:00,920 --> 00:17:04,399 Speaker 2: out in recent days and actually here is a Fox 317 00:17:04,480 --> 00:17:06,040 Speaker 2: let's start with this when this is cut twenty, a 318 00:17:06,200 --> 00:17:12,120 Speaker 2: Fox Business reporter who has done the math on what 319 00:17:12,160 --> 00:17:14,960 Speaker 2: does it cost the US? As you're thinking about it, 320 00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:16,520 Speaker 2: I'm already starting to think about Oh gosh, and I 321 00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:18,800 Speaker 2: gotta start pulling together all my stuff to file taxes 322 00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:21,200 Speaker 2: for next year because it takes for evers. It's so complicated. 323 00:17:21,680 --> 00:17:23,720 Speaker 2: What are we paying in this country? What are you 324 00:17:23,800 --> 00:17:26,560 Speaker 2: paying as the price for everything you need goes up 325 00:17:26,600 --> 00:17:29,200 Speaker 2: all the time? What are you paying for illegal immigrants? 326 00:17:29,200 --> 00:17:30,159 Speaker 2: Play twenty. 327 00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:32,960 Speaker 3: We have new numbers, a new report from the US 328 00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:36,639 Speaker 3: House Committee on Homeland Security. Majority They say the price 329 00:17:36,680 --> 00:17:41,000 Speaker 3: tag per year is four hundred and fifty one billion dollars. 330 00:17:41,280 --> 00:17:43,399 Speaker 3: That is both for the housing and care of the 331 00:17:43,440 --> 00:17:46,600 Speaker 3: asylum seekers as well as those known godaways. 332 00:17:47,680 --> 00:17:52,320 Speaker 2: So we're looking at half a trillion pretty much, getting 333 00:17:52,320 --> 00:17:55,040 Speaker 2: pretty close there. That seems like it seems like a 334 00:17:55,040 --> 00:17:57,119 Speaker 2: big deal. Clay, And what I think is so funny 335 00:17:57,200 --> 00:18:01,159 Speaker 2: is not funny, but interesting is that the way the 336 00:18:01,240 --> 00:18:05,080 Speaker 2: Daily Mail, British news site posed what Texas has done. 337 00:18:05,080 --> 00:18:08,800 Speaker 2: They said Texas spent is staggering eighty six million dollars 338 00:18:09,440 --> 00:18:13,720 Speaker 2: busing migrants to New York City, Chicago, Philadelphia, Los Angeles, 339 00:18:13,720 --> 00:18:18,760 Speaker 2: and DC. Meanwhile, places like New York City, which only 340 00:18:18,800 --> 00:18:23,560 Speaker 2: got a fraction of the migrants, are spending four billion 341 00:18:23,640 --> 00:18:26,159 Speaker 2: dollars a year. Twelve billion over three years is the 342 00:18:26,200 --> 00:18:30,680 Speaker 2: New York City official projection for illegal immigrants. They're cost 343 00:18:30,720 --> 00:18:35,840 Speaker 2: their housing and they're saying, WHOA, Texas spent eighty million dollars. Yeah, 344 00:18:35,960 --> 00:18:38,800 Speaker 2: I'd much rather have my state budget get hit for 345 00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:42,040 Speaker 2: eighty million and not have to worry about the problem 346 00:18:42,320 --> 00:18:44,480 Speaker 2: than have to spend four billion. You know, we're not 347 00:18:44,480 --> 00:18:46,760 Speaker 2: big numbers, guys, but these numbers are pretty easy. 348 00:18:47,480 --> 00:18:50,720 Speaker 1: Yeah, the math isn't that hard to add up when 349 00:18:50,720 --> 00:18:53,000 Speaker 1: it's going out as opposed to coming in. And you know, 350 00:18:53,080 --> 00:18:56,760 Speaker 1: this is becoming a political albatross for Joe Biden. Buck 351 00:18:57,240 --> 00:19:00,200 Speaker 1: because I read a story I think on Sunday, maybe 352 00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:04,919 Speaker 1: it was yesterday saying that there's quiet momentum to basically 353 00:19:05,200 --> 00:19:09,399 Speaker 1: end the asylum rules and start to modify them so 354 00:19:09,480 --> 00:19:12,680 Speaker 1: that you can't just claim asylum and immediately get into 355 00:19:12,720 --> 00:19:16,520 Speaker 1: the country. And that is a sign of how politically 356 00:19:16,600 --> 00:19:19,360 Speaker 1: toxic this is for Joe Biden is in his administration. 357 00:19:19,840 --> 00:19:21,800 Speaker 2: The piece in the Wall Street Journal I think you're 358 00:19:21,800 --> 00:19:23,800 Speaker 2: referring to I have in front of me Senator's top 359 00:19:23,880 --> 00:19:28,879 Speaker 2: target in border talks, tighter asylum rules for migrants. This 360 00:19:29,080 --> 00:19:32,359 Speaker 2: is what I've been pounding the table about here, not 361 00:19:32,520 --> 00:19:35,320 Speaker 2: just on this show, for years, because people will talk 362 00:19:35,359 --> 00:19:38,119 Speaker 2: about they'll talk about border security, and they'll say the wall, 363 00:19:38,200 --> 00:19:40,920 Speaker 2: and they'll say, we need more border patrol agents, got 364 00:19:40,920 --> 00:19:43,360 Speaker 2: to stop the fentinel, gotta deal with the cartel's all 365 00:19:43,440 --> 00:19:47,000 Speaker 2: of that is true. But if people can show up 366 00:19:47,160 --> 00:19:50,959 Speaker 2: at our border flag down border patrol, there's people need 367 00:19:50,960 --> 00:19:54,480 Speaker 2: to understand the gotaways are separate issue. The drug cartel, 368 00:19:54,600 --> 00:19:57,960 Speaker 2: drug smuggling, that's a separate related but a separate issue. 369 00:19:58,480 --> 00:20:00,760 Speaker 2: Most of the people that are doing the legal entry 370 00:20:00,760 --> 00:20:04,159 Speaker 2: show up and say, hi, I have a fear of 371 00:20:04,200 --> 00:20:07,439 Speaker 2: persecution in my home country and I want asylum, and 372 00:20:07,480 --> 00:20:09,879 Speaker 2: that is it. That's all they have to do. And 373 00:20:09,920 --> 00:20:12,320 Speaker 2: then they get processed, they get led into the country. 374 00:20:12,480 --> 00:20:14,440 Speaker 2: Maybe they get a ticket to a peer, maybe they don't. 375 00:20:14,480 --> 00:20:17,320 Speaker 2: They just told the check in to some immigration facility 376 00:20:17,359 --> 00:20:21,639 Speaker 2: on their own, and they just disappear into the American interior. 377 00:20:22,280 --> 00:20:26,320 Speaker 2: If you don't change that, Clay, nothing else we do 378 00:20:26,880 --> 00:20:30,200 Speaker 2: with the border matters. You can build a one hundred. 379 00:20:30,240 --> 00:20:33,160 Speaker 2: You could have a you know, a wall, a moat, 380 00:20:33,400 --> 00:20:36,840 Speaker 2: you could have all the drones and security imaginable. If 381 00:20:36,880 --> 00:20:39,680 Speaker 2: you can get waved down and say, hey, guys, I'm 382 00:20:39,680 --> 00:20:42,240 Speaker 2: at a port of entry, I'm just gonna walk in now, 383 00:20:42,280 --> 00:20:44,960 Speaker 2: and you're gonna give me asylum or just find a 384 00:20:44,960 --> 00:20:46,960 Speaker 2: place where there's you know, a space in the wall 385 00:20:47,040 --> 00:20:50,760 Speaker 2: or whatever, then it doesn't change. Democrats realize this to 386 00:20:50,800 --> 00:20:55,080 Speaker 2: your point. Washington Post published just a few days ago 387 00:20:55,200 --> 00:20:58,000 Speaker 2: and our ed just with some of the numbers here 388 00:20:59,080 --> 00:21:03,359 Speaker 2: showing that Democrats are very concerned about this one. But 389 00:21:03,400 --> 00:21:06,439 Speaker 2: I'll just give you this, fifty three percent of New 390 00:21:06,520 --> 00:21:08,560 Speaker 2: York Democrats say that New York has done enough for 391 00:21:08,640 --> 00:21:11,600 Speaker 2: migrants and needs to stop the flow of New York Democrats. 392 00:21:11,840 --> 00:21:16,639 Speaker 1: Yeah, well, this is where you know that it's a 393 00:21:16,680 --> 00:21:21,960 Speaker 1: major issue. When Eric Adams and in New York City, 394 00:21:22,359 --> 00:21:27,280 Speaker 1: and when you've got all of these different big city 395 00:21:27,359 --> 00:21:31,199 Speaker 1: mayors suddenly lining up. Muriel Bowser, I think, is the 396 00:21:31,200 --> 00:21:35,080 Speaker 1: mayor of Washington, DC lining up and saying this isn't 397 00:21:35,119 --> 00:21:35,880 Speaker 1: working for us. 398 00:21:35,920 --> 00:21:36,879 Speaker 2: We've got to fix it. 399 00:21:37,480 --> 00:21:40,679 Speaker 1: And I don't think we even hardly talked about this 400 00:21:40,800 --> 00:21:43,800 Speaker 1: on the program very much, Buck, But how about the 401 00:21:43,840 --> 00:21:47,840 Speaker 1: fact that Eric Adams, who has been probably the biggest 402 00:21:48,119 --> 00:21:53,399 Speaker 1: outspoken opponent to the migrant situation in America, big city mayor, 403 00:21:54,359 --> 00:21:59,639 Speaker 1: got his top campaign fundraiser rated on the day he 404 00:21:59,800 --> 00:22:02,480 Speaker 1: was so posted to speak about the migrant crisis in DC. 405 00:22:02,760 --> 00:22:07,560 Speaker 1: He cancels everything. Then the FBI seizes his phones and 406 00:22:07,680 --> 00:22:10,800 Speaker 1: his iPad as a part of an investigation into whether 407 00:22:10,880 --> 00:22:16,080 Speaker 1: or not he's received improper campaign donations from Turkey. This 408 00:22:16,359 --> 00:22:20,879 Speaker 1: to me, again, it's not even Biden just weaponizing his 409 00:22:20,960 --> 00:22:24,960 Speaker 1: Department of Justice against the political party and opposition to him. 410 00:22:25,520 --> 00:22:29,560 Speaker 1: It's also anyone inside the Democrat Party who raises any 411 00:22:29,600 --> 00:22:32,040 Speaker 1: sort of issues with the way this thing is going. 412 00:22:32,080 --> 00:22:34,840 Speaker 1: But you're starting to see in the numbers. We talked 413 00:22:34,880 --> 00:22:38,000 Speaker 1: about the polls earlier for Joe Biden. One of the 414 00:22:38,040 --> 00:22:45,400 Speaker 1: real issues that Biden has is he's hemorrhaging minority support, Black, Asian, Hispanic. 415 00:22:45,760 --> 00:22:49,280 Speaker 1: They are leaving the Democrat Party according to these polls, 416 00:22:49,640 --> 00:22:52,600 Speaker 1: at levels that we have not seen before. And much 417 00:22:52,600 --> 00:22:55,439 Speaker 1: of it, I think Buck is in Chicago and in 418 00:22:55,480 --> 00:22:57,800 Speaker 1: New York City and in Washington, d C. And a 419 00:22:57,800 --> 00:23:00,159 Speaker 1: lot of these big cities that are overloaded with migrants. 420 00:23:00,560 --> 00:23:03,160 Speaker 1: Minorities are looking around and saying, wait a minute, you're 421 00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:08,280 Speaker 1: spending billions of dollars on illegal immigrants and our communities 422 00:23:08,320 --> 00:23:09,439 Speaker 1: aren't taken care of. 423 00:23:10,080 --> 00:23:11,200 Speaker 2: That's a conflict. Again. 424 00:23:11,240 --> 00:23:14,520 Speaker 1: It's the identity politics coalition of the Democrat Party coming 425 00:23:14,600 --> 00:23:17,679 Speaker 1: into direct conflict with each other, and you have to 426 00:23:17,680 --> 00:23:18,280 Speaker 1: pick a side. 427 00:23:18,640 --> 00:23:23,520 Speaker 2: It's white liberals in rich Democrat enclaves of the country 428 00:23:23,560 --> 00:23:27,239 Speaker 2: who are the open borders people. They're the ones who 429 00:23:27,320 --> 00:23:31,840 Speaker 2: want the open borders overwhelmingly. They'll fund organizations that maybe 430 00:23:31,840 --> 00:23:35,280 Speaker 2: have somebody who you know, is like a Latino spokesperson 431 00:23:35,359 --> 00:23:37,800 Speaker 2: or something to help with border communities, whatever it may be. 432 00:23:38,280 --> 00:23:43,000 Speaker 2: But they ultimately it is the Pelosis and the Shoomers 433 00:23:43,040 --> 00:23:45,720 Speaker 2: of the world who want open borders. And let's be honest, 434 00:23:45,720 --> 00:23:47,639 Speaker 2: they want it because the donor class wants it. They 435 00:23:47,680 --> 00:23:51,400 Speaker 2: want they're on board with this. But to your point 436 00:23:51,440 --> 00:23:54,719 Speaker 2: at about minority support for it, a lot of minorities, 437 00:23:55,119 --> 00:23:58,520 Speaker 2: I think rightly. I mean when I say minorities, Black Americans, 438 00:23:58,640 --> 00:24:01,680 Speaker 2: Latino Americans and you know other groups you could put 439 00:24:01,680 --> 00:24:04,320 Speaker 2: in the same on the same side of this, are 440 00:24:04,320 --> 00:24:07,239 Speaker 2: looking at You're spending billions of dollars. People aren't even 441 00:24:07,280 --> 00:24:09,600 Speaker 2: supposed to be in the country legally, right, And I 442 00:24:09,600 --> 00:24:12,080 Speaker 2: think some immigrants too even realize. Hold on a second, 443 00:24:12,160 --> 00:24:14,479 Speaker 2: I went through some process, I had to wait years, 444 00:24:14,520 --> 00:24:17,679 Speaker 2: I had to pay immigration lawyers. I could have just said, oh, 445 00:24:17,720 --> 00:24:19,600 Speaker 2: I'm scared to be in my home country. Is it 446 00:24:19,640 --> 00:24:22,320 Speaker 2: true or not? Who cares? I think lying should matter. 447 00:24:22,359 --> 00:24:24,600 Speaker 2: By the way, lying to federal officials is actually a crime. 448 00:24:25,359 --> 00:24:28,480 Speaker 2: I know we only enforced laws very selectively now in 449 00:24:28,520 --> 00:24:31,119 Speaker 2: the new era of America we're in. But you know, 450 00:24:31,480 --> 00:24:36,560 Speaker 2: social Security card presentation, fraud, signing documents that say you're 451 00:24:36,560 --> 00:24:38,320 Speaker 2: a citizen, or that you are legally working here. These 452 00:24:38,359 --> 00:24:41,240 Speaker 2: are all crimes. Lying to immigration officials of the border 453 00:24:41,280 --> 00:24:44,800 Speaker 2: that's a crime. Entering the US without permission, crossing our 454 00:24:44,840 --> 00:24:47,600 Speaker 2: federal boundary at the southern border, that's a crime. These 455 00:24:47,600 --> 00:24:50,200 Speaker 2: are all violations of law. Why are we not supposed 456 00:24:50,200 --> 00:24:52,840 Speaker 2: to care. I'm supposed to pay my taxes, But all 457 00:24:52,880 --> 00:24:56,200 Speaker 2: the illegal stuff that's going on with immigration that's supposed 458 00:24:56,200 --> 00:24:58,919 Speaker 2: to be fine based on what based on the power 459 00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:01,600 Speaker 2: needs of Democrats. Yeah, I don't sign on to that one. 460 00:25:01,640 --> 00:25:03,240 Speaker 2: I can't say that's okay with me. 461 00:25:03,760 --> 00:25:08,000 Speaker 1: I also wonder to what extent, you know, Trump did 462 00:25:08,119 --> 00:25:12,240 Speaker 1: everything that the Republican Party brain trust said he should 463 00:25:12,320 --> 00:25:15,280 Speaker 1: not do in twenty sixteen, and he won. And not 464 00:25:15,320 --> 00:25:18,800 Speaker 1: only did he win, he's increased his minority support as 465 00:25:18,840 --> 00:25:22,679 Speaker 1: people have become more aware of him and aware of 466 00:25:22,720 --> 00:25:27,960 Speaker 1: his policies. Twenty twenty now twenty twenty four. I think 467 00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:30,320 Speaker 1: the numbers are reflecting that if Trump's the nominee, he 468 00:25:30,359 --> 00:25:33,320 Speaker 1: will have more minority support than maybe any Republican has 469 00:25:33,359 --> 00:25:37,639 Speaker 1: ever had among black voters, for instance, and certainly Hispanic 470 00:25:37,760 --> 00:25:42,960 Speaker 1: vote is increasing. I wonder if if Democrats buck ever 471 00:25:43,040 --> 00:25:46,160 Speaker 1: start to look back at these these numbers, because here's 472 00:25:46,200 --> 00:25:48,520 Speaker 1: the reality of ky Can I give you some of the numbers. 473 00:25:48,240 --> 00:25:51,320 Speaker 2: Real, real quick? Yeah, I mean, because the Washington Post 474 00:25:51,680 --> 00:25:53,560 Speaker 2: wrote this off ed and this is why there are 475 00:25:53,880 --> 00:25:55,399 Speaker 2: they at least have to make the noise. This always 476 00:25:55,440 --> 00:25:58,399 Speaker 2: happens in election cycles. Democrats go, we care about the 477 00:25:58,440 --> 00:26:00,560 Speaker 2: border too, and okay, maybe it is kind of They 478 00:26:00,560 --> 00:26:02,720 Speaker 2: start they start pivoting a little bit toward the center 479 00:26:02,720 --> 00:26:05,960 Speaker 2: because the country, all the polling shows this, the country 480 00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:08,280 Speaker 2: is not with them on this open border stuff. They 481 00:26:08,359 --> 00:26:10,560 Speaker 2: lie about it. They try to come up with polls like, oh, 482 00:26:10,600 --> 00:26:12,600 Speaker 2: do you like immigrants or not? Well, that's not what 483 00:26:12,640 --> 00:26:15,080 Speaker 2: the issue is. The issue is illegal immigration on our 484 00:26:15,080 --> 00:26:18,760 Speaker 2: southern border. That's a violation of law and exploitation of asylum. Okay, 485 00:26:19,320 --> 00:26:21,560 Speaker 2: majority of Democrats Okay, this is a Fox News poll, 486 00:26:21,680 --> 00:26:24,919 Speaker 2: but earlier this month, the majority of Democrats very concerned 487 00:26:25,280 --> 00:26:31,040 Speaker 2: about border security. Quinnipiac polling this month, seventy one percent 488 00:26:31,080 --> 00:26:35,760 Speaker 2: of Independence and thirty percent of Democrats disapproved of Biden's 489 00:26:35,760 --> 00:26:38,440 Speaker 2: handling of immigration. I say, okay, only thirty percent disapprove 490 00:26:38,480 --> 00:26:41,760 Speaker 2: of Biden overall on this seventy one percent of Independence. 491 00:26:42,200 --> 00:26:44,280 Speaker 2: That's a rough number for these Democrats going into the 492 00:26:44,320 --> 00:26:44,920 Speaker 2: election year. 493 00:26:45,119 --> 00:26:48,760 Speaker 1: Even thirty percent of your own political party disapproving of 494 00:26:48,800 --> 00:26:51,880 Speaker 1: your position on something. I mean, I think the numbers 495 00:26:51,920 --> 00:26:55,280 Speaker 1: reflect that immigration is the single weakest of all of 496 00:26:55,400 --> 00:27:01,119 Speaker 1: Joe Biden's policies in terms of independence and national response. 497 00:27:01,680 --> 00:27:04,399 Speaker 1: And so that's why they're trying to figure out a 498 00:27:04,480 --> 00:27:07,760 Speaker 1: way to take action on what's going on in our 499 00:27:07,800 --> 00:27:11,160 Speaker 1: southern border. The challenge, and as you well know, Buck, 500 00:27:11,640 --> 00:27:14,199 Speaker 1: the challenge here is will anything get passed? 501 00:27:14,200 --> 00:27:14,760 Speaker 2: Who knows? 502 00:27:15,720 --> 00:27:21,679 Speaker 1: And the problem is it takes months for the action 503 00:27:22,240 --> 00:27:25,879 Speaker 1: to have consequences in terms of border flow, and in 504 00:27:25,920 --> 00:27:28,800 Speaker 1: the meantime we've got eight million people across the border. 505 00:27:28,840 --> 00:27:32,920 Speaker 1: I do think one of the ultimate plays here has 506 00:27:33,040 --> 00:27:35,399 Speaker 1: been all of these people are going to come to 507 00:27:35,440 --> 00:27:38,520 Speaker 1: the country and they're likely Democrat voters, and this will 508 00:27:38,560 --> 00:27:41,919 Speaker 1: guarantee that we win elections long into the future. I 509 00:27:41,920 --> 00:27:44,560 Speaker 1: don't think there's any doubt that that is the calculus 510 00:27:44,600 --> 00:27:49,879 Speaker 1: behind why these open border policies are in many ways embraced. 511 00:27:50,600 --> 00:27:54,600 Speaker 1: The challenge is, what if that calculus is wrong? What 512 00:27:54,680 --> 00:27:57,640 Speaker 1: if really the population is increasing and the numbers are 513 00:27:57,880 --> 00:28:01,720 Speaker 1: roughly staying the same in terms of Hispanic support for 514 00:28:03,200 --> 00:28:06,919 Speaker 1: Democrats and Republicans, hech what if as Hispanics live in 515 00:28:06,960 --> 00:28:11,800 Speaker 1: the country they become more conservative. I'm talking about legal 516 00:28:11,840 --> 00:28:14,439 Speaker 1: immigrants because they look around and they say, there's a 517 00:28:14,480 --> 00:28:18,159 Speaker 1: lot of craziness in the Democrat Party right now, and 518 00:28:18,320 --> 00:28:21,199 Speaker 1: I think it's going to take at some point a 519 00:28:21,560 --> 00:28:23,359 Speaker 1: This is my theory, and I've had this theory for 520 00:28:23,400 --> 00:28:27,200 Speaker 1: a while. The identity politics coalition of the Democrat Party 521 00:28:27,280 --> 00:28:31,000 Speaker 1: is not sustainable. At some point it's going to explode 522 00:28:31,080 --> 00:28:35,000 Speaker 1: and feed on itself. Maybe Israel, the situation there is 523 00:28:35,040 --> 00:28:39,160 Speaker 1: starting to accelerate that. But certainly we had already seen 524 00:28:39,240 --> 00:28:42,880 Speaker 1: minority voters fleeing before we even got to this situation. 525 00:28:43,280 --> 00:28:45,360 Speaker 1: And I think the border is a big reason why. 526 00:28:46,200 --> 00:28:49,080 Speaker 2: I hope so we do get excited about this stuff. 527 00:28:49,120 --> 00:28:51,920 Speaker 2: I feel like every election cycle and there'll probably be 528 00:28:51,960 --> 00:28:54,480 Speaker 2: some nonprofit that comes forward that's like, we're gonna win. 529 00:28:54,720 --> 00:28:57,280 Speaker 2: We're gonna win the Black American vote this year as Republicans, 530 00:28:57,320 --> 00:28:59,120 Speaker 2: or we're going to get you know, sixty five percent 531 00:28:59,120 --> 00:29:03,640 Speaker 2: of Latino vote. I'm just saying it never, somehow never materializes, 532 00:29:03,720 --> 00:29:06,440 Speaker 2: but maybe this time around will actually make some headway. 533 00:29:06,480 --> 00:29:09,160 Speaker 2: It'll make the difference. That would be nice. There's no 534 00:29:09,280 --> 00:29:11,320 Speaker 2: denying the impact that AI has had in such a 535 00:29:11,320 --> 00:29:13,640 Speaker 2: short amount of time. Between the smart devices we have 536 00:29:13,720 --> 00:29:17,160 Speaker 2: in our homes, the first autonomous vehicles, and advanced diagnostic 537 00:29:17,200 --> 00:29:19,760 Speaker 2: tools in the healthcare industry, it's safe to say AI 538 00:29:20,040 --> 00:29:23,680 Speaker 2: isn't going anywhere. Tech expert Colin Tedards believes this is 539 00:29:23,720 --> 00:29:26,280 Speaker 2: the beginning of a new era that could make you rich. 540 00:29:26,520 --> 00:29:28,880 Speaker 2: He's been writing about AI for quite some time now. 541 00:29:29,520 --> 00:29:31,720 Speaker 2: When the market hit rock bottom a year ago. This month, 542 00:29:31,760 --> 00:29:34,840 Speaker 2: Colin recommended shares of a top software company that software 543 00:29:34,880 --> 00:29:37,960 Speaker 2: companies up over two hundred percent since then, and anyone 544 00:29:37,960 --> 00:29:40,000 Speaker 2: who listened to Colin had a chance to more than 545 00:29:40,040 --> 00:29:42,160 Speaker 2: double their money in less than a year. But now 546 00:29:42,240 --> 00:29:45,800 Speaker 2: he's recommending a new AI company that he says could 547 00:29:45,840 --> 00:29:47,800 Speaker 2: do even better. And he says he's found a way 548 00:29:47,800 --> 00:29:50,160 Speaker 2: for you to profit from this new AI project right 549 00:29:50,200 --> 00:29:55,280 Speaker 2: from your brokerage account.

New AI project dot 551 00:30:01,000 --> 00:30:12,000 Speaker 2: com paid for by Brownstone Research. So we're talking about 552 00:30:12,120 --> 00:30:17,040 Speaker 2: the big debate, global debate that is happening every day 553 00:30:17,080 --> 00:30:23,320 Speaker 2: now over the Israeli response to Hamas's October seventh mass 554 00:30:23,360 --> 00:30:28,520 Speaker 2: casualty terror attack, mass murder and mass rape terror attack. 555 00:30:28,880 --> 00:30:32,600 Speaker 2: And I do think that that does not get brought 556 00:30:32,640 --> 00:30:38,000 Speaker 2: into the conversation enough. I appreciate that Douglas Murray made 557 00:30:38,080 --> 00:30:40,840 Speaker 2: the point and this went very viral. We play this 558 00:30:40,840 --> 00:30:43,960 Speaker 2: for you on the show that it is a historical 559 00:30:44,040 --> 00:30:49,320 Speaker 2: fact that there were there were high level Nazis who 560 00:30:49,800 --> 00:30:53,600 Speaker 2: recognized that what they were doing was evil. They still 561 00:30:53,640 --> 00:30:57,440 Speaker 2: did it. This is not in any way mitigating the 562 00:30:58,160 --> 00:31:01,800 Speaker 2: evil of what they did, but they recognize the evil 563 00:31:02,440 --> 00:31:04,840 Speaker 2: and so some of them had to turn to extremely 564 00:31:04,920 --> 00:31:06,920 Speaker 2: high levels of drinking. They would have to get very, 565 00:31:06,960 --> 00:31:09,240 Speaker 2: very drunk before they would do some of the executions. Again, 566 00:31:09,280 --> 00:31:11,880 Speaker 2: Doug Murray talked about this, and we played that clip 567 00:31:11,920 --> 00:31:14,840 Speaker 2: for you on the show, and you can then compare 568 00:31:14,880 --> 00:31:19,440 Speaker 2: that with the reports and the audio of Hamas terrorists 569 00:31:19,920 --> 00:31:22,680 Speaker 2: calling their parents to say, I just cut the head 570 00:31:22,680 --> 00:31:26,040 Speaker 2: off of a Jew. I'm a hero. Now, I mean 571 00:31:26,360 --> 00:31:33,800 Speaker 2: true vile psychopathy that is not only celebrated by members 572 00:31:33,840 --> 00:31:38,280 Speaker 2: of Hamas, but there's broad support for Hamas inside of Gaza, 573 00:31:38,280 --> 00:31:40,000 Speaker 2: which you will also not hear very much. Now, these 574 00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:43,600 Speaker 2: are uncomfortable truths, but these are realities as well. And 575 00:31:43,680 --> 00:31:46,600 Speaker 2: if you've seen some of the videos of the Israeli 576 00:31:46,640 --> 00:31:51,320 Speaker 2: hostages being taken away to be traded, and the way 577 00:31:51,440 --> 00:31:56,040 Speaker 2: that people on the street in Gaza respond to this, 578 00:31:56,120 --> 00:31:59,960 Speaker 2: you know they're basically act like you know, they're an anger, 579 00:32:00,080 --> 00:32:04,680 Speaker 2: greed jeering mob at these hostages who haven't taken. So 580 00:32:04,800 --> 00:32:08,680 Speaker 2: Piers Morgan, who sometimes says things that I agree with, 581 00:32:08,760 --> 00:32:11,280 Speaker 2: sometimes says things that I think are very dumb. And 582 00:32:11,280 --> 00:32:12,440 Speaker 2: I would say that to him if you were here 583 00:32:12,480 --> 00:32:14,280 Speaker 2: on the show. We'll probably have him on at some point. 584 00:32:14,720 --> 00:32:18,440 Speaker 2: Occasionally he's right. Sometimes he's a buffoon, or I should 585 00:32:18,480 --> 00:32:21,800 Speaker 2: say his opinions I feel are deeply ignorant and very wrong. 586 00:32:21,960 --> 00:32:25,240 Speaker 2: Buffoon is you know that's a little unfair here. He 587 00:32:25,320 --> 00:32:27,920 Speaker 2: is not an unintelligent guy, That's what I mean. That correct. 588 00:32:28,000 --> 00:32:29,800 Speaker 2: I think he's deeply wrong on some things. I'm not 589 00:32:29,840 --> 00:32:32,640 Speaker 2: saying he's a dumb guy, but I think he's right 590 00:32:32,680 --> 00:32:34,600 Speaker 2: on some things too. We've played when he's right. Here 591 00:32:34,640 --> 00:32:37,400 Speaker 2: he is, though he's asking a question. I think we 592 00:32:37,400 --> 00:32:41,080 Speaker 2: should try to answer this question about when is Israel 593 00:32:41,240 --> 00:32:43,040 Speaker 2: going too far? Place seven. 594 00:32:43,200 --> 00:32:46,040 Speaker 4: I've been picked up this weekend by people reminding me 595 00:32:46,080 --> 00:32:49,920 Speaker 4: of tweets from twenty fourteen. Then Israel launched a massive 596 00:32:49,960 --> 00:32:52,400 Speaker 4: bombardment of guards from a sponsor to murder a three 597 00:32:52,480 --> 00:32:56,000 Speaker 4: as ready teenagers in the West Bank. What happened, I'm asked, 598 00:32:56,000 --> 00:32:58,840 Speaker 4: why did I change my position? Well, I haven't changed 599 00:32:58,840 --> 00:33:02,600 Speaker 4: my position. Is well committed atrocities in twenty fourteen. In 600 00:33:02,640 --> 00:33:06,080 Speaker 4: my estimation, it was a complete disproportionate response to what 601 00:33:06,080 --> 00:33:08,840 Speaker 4: had happened. It looked more like revenge to me than 602 00:33:08,840 --> 00:33:11,400 Speaker 4: a military strategy, and President Obama told them to call 603 00:33:11,440 --> 00:33:13,520 Speaker 4: it off. We'll join that at BOMBARDMA and I asked, 604 00:33:13,520 --> 00:33:17,000 Speaker 4: at what point does Israel's current military strategy become the 605 00:33:17,160 --> 00:33:21,120 Speaker 4: very terrorism professes to be fighting? And today I'm beginning 606 00:33:21,160 --> 00:33:24,040 Speaker 4: to ask myself that exact same question. 607 00:33:25,320 --> 00:33:29,600 Speaker 2: Now, Clay, I could cite another British voice on this 608 00:33:29,640 --> 00:33:33,560 Speaker 2: when he has since passed away, Christopher Hitchins, who, while 609 00:33:33,640 --> 00:33:36,240 Speaker 2: again wrong on some things, understood the threat of radical 610 00:33:36,280 --> 00:33:39,840 Speaker 2: Islam very well and said that the root fallacy in 611 00:33:39,880 --> 00:33:42,760 Speaker 2: the fight against radical Islam is that the fighting against 612 00:33:42,840 --> 00:33:45,320 Speaker 2: terrorism is the cause of it, and that this is 613 00:33:45,480 --> 00:33:47,760 Speaker 2: very popular on the left. You'll often see this this 614 00:33:48,000 --> 00:33:50,960 Speaker 2: leftist in this country college campuses, leftists in the media. 615 00:33:51,440 --> 00:33:53,520 Speaker 2: You know, they'll say, well, for every terrorist we kill, 616 00:33:53,560 --> 00:33:57,000 Speaker 2: we create one hundred more. For example, Well, what are 617 00:33:57,040 --> 00:34:00,280 Speaker 2: we supposed to do then, what is the response to 618 00:34:00,320 --> 00:34:03,280 Speaker 2: be when they invade your country effectively and rape and 619 00:34:03,440 --> 00:34:07,680 Speaker 2: murder to the greatest degree they possibly can civilians. Then 620 00:34:07,720 --> 00:34:09,360 Speaker 2: we go to the negotiating table and say, you know what, 621 00:34:09,360 --> 00:34:11,200 Speaker 2: We're going to send you more aid, We're going to 622 00:34:11,239 --> 00:34:12,680 Speaker 2: give you more money. No, you have to go and 623 00:34:12,760 --> 00:34:15,800 Speaker 2: kill them. Elon Musk just visited Israel. Here's what he says, 624 00:34:16,080 --> 00:34:18,360 Speaker 2: cut six. He understands this moment. 625 00:34:19,880 --> 00:34:22,840 Speaker 5: There are three things that need to happen in the 626 00:34:22,880 --> 00:34:27,839 Speaker 5: Gaza situation. I mean, there's no choice but to kill 627 00:34:27,920 --> 00:34:33,439 Speaker 5: those who insist on murdering civilians. There's no choice. They're 628 00:34:33,440 --> 00:34:36,240 Speaker 5: not going to change their mind. And then the second 629 00:34:36,239 --> 00:34:39,960 Speaker 5: thing is to change the education so that a new 630 00:34:40,040 --> 00:34:44,200 Speaker 5: generation of murderers is not trained to be murderers. And 631 00:34:44,840 --> 00:34:46,920 Speaker 5: then the third thing, it's also very important, is to 632 00:34:46,960 --> 00:34:48,120 Speaker 5: try to build prosperity. 633 00:34:49,440 --> 00:34:51,759 Speaker 2: He's basically saying, you've got to fix Gaza, and it's 634 00:34:51,760 --> 00:34:54,839 Speaker 2: all Gaza to be fixed because the rock stretches far 635 00:34:54,840 --> 00:34:58,080 Speaker 2: beyond jimas Clay to the question appears we're gonna ask 636 00:34:58,800 --> 00:35:01,320 Speaker 2: or that he's raising when Israel. When does the Israeli 637 00:35:01,360 --> 00:35:05,040 Speaker 2: response become terrorism? It becomes terrorism when Israel decides they're 638 00:35:05,040 --> 00:35:07,160 Speaker 2: going to kill as many civilians as they possibly can, 639 00:35:07,400 --> 00:35:10,680 Speaker 2: which they don't do, so it is not terrorism. 640 00:35:11,200 --> 00:35:13,359 Speaker 1: Now, you're one hundred percent right, And I think it's 641 00:35:13,360 --> 00:35:16,319 Speaker 1: important to point out that evilon Musk is being characterized 642 00:35:16,320 --> 00:35:19,399 Speaker 1: as an anti Semite and that there are a lot 643 00:35:19,440 --> 00:35:23,160 Speaker 1: of different brands that are pulling their advertising off of 644 00:35:23,280 --> 00:35:29,120 Speaker 1: Twitter because he has been unwilling to tiptoe up to 645 00:35:29,280 --> 00:35:33,080 Speaker 1: the truth here, which is good and evil exists. And 646 00:35:33,400 --> 00:35:36,799 Speaker 1: I think maybe this is you know, I had this 647 00:35:36,880 --> 00:35:40,880 Speaker 1: conversation with some people around Thanksgiving. I hope some of 648 00:35:40,920 --> 00:35:45,960 Speaker 1: you did with your kids and your grandkids. The illusion 649 00:35:46,080 --> 00:35:50,480 Speaker 1: that everything is gray, that is, there is no black 650 00:35:50,520 --> 00:35:54,319 Speaker 1: and white, there is no good in evil has I 651 00:35:54,400 --> 00:35:58,480 Speaker 1: think taken over much of the United States. And I 652 00:35:58,520 --> 00:36:01,840 Speaker 1: think it's because, by and large, and I'm curious if 653 00:36:01,880 --> 00:36:06,440 Speaker 1: you would agree with this thesis, Buck, most Americans, thankfully 654 00:36:06,920 --> 00:36:11,240 Speaker 1: do not experience evil in our day to day life. 655 00:36:11,800 --> 00:36:12,920 Speaker 2: Most now. 656 00:36:13,280 --> 00:36:18,480 Speaker 1: Occasionally you or your close relatives, your friends, your family 657 00:36:19,520 --> 00:36:22,160 Speaker 1: may be a victim of some sort of violent crime, 658 00:36:22,800 --> 00:36:26,160 Speaker 1: and you may for a pinprick of time stare into 659 00:36:26,320 --> 00:36:31,160 Speaker 1: what it is to see evil in this country. But 660 00:36:31,280 --> 00:36:36,560 Speaker 1: I think most Americans we have created a society, particularly 661 00:36:36,560 --> 00:36:39,640 Speaker 1: if you are wealthy or you are upper middle class, 662 00:36:40,480 --> 00:36:44,680 Speaker 1: where actual evil doesn't exist in your life, and kids 663 00:36:44,800 --> 00:36:48,200 Speaker 1: need to buy into the idea. I think that they 664 00:36:48,239 --> 00:36:50,879 Speaker 1: are on the side of truth and justice. That's part 665 00:36:50,880 --> 00:36:54,160 Speaker 1: of growing up that you are going to fight for 666 00:36:54,239 --> 00:36:59,360 Speaker 1: a cause, and the cause isn't actually anything in the 667 00:36:59,400 --> 00:37:01,960 Speaker 1: good and evil realm. It's oh, my goodness, somebody has 668 00:37:02,000 --> 00:37:04,680 Speaker 1: a different opinion than me on social media, and so 669 00:37:05,160 --> 00:37:07,880 Speaker 1: they aren't able to even recognize evil when they. 670 00:37:07,760 --> 00:37:10,520 Speaker 2: See it, which is scary. That's the critical point because 671 00:37:10,520 --> 00:37:12,759 Speaker 2: when you said that, they don't believe that there's evil. No, no, 672 00:37:13,280 --> 00:37:16,840 Speaker 2: they just don't recognize what is evil and have replaced 673 00:37:16,880 --> 00:37:24,759 Speaker 2: it with fashions and widespread trends and and sort of 674 00:37:24,760 --> 00:37:28,319 Speaker 2: a mass delusion theory about things like, you know, you're 675 00:37:28,360 --> 00:37:33,360 Speaker 2: you're literally committing genocide, they will say against trans people 676 00:37:33,360 --> 00:37:36,399 Speaker 2: by negating their transition or negating their you know, their 677 00:37:36,480 --> 00:37:38,880 Speaker 2: gender pronouns. I mean, this is crazy. They believe this. 678 00:37:39,520 --> 00:37:43,000 Speaker 2: You're actually helping bring about the end of humanity if 679 00:37:43,000 --> 00:37:45,319 Speaker 2: you don't address the imminent threat of climate change, which 680 00:37:45,320 --> 00:37:47,600 Speaker 2: is insane. I mean, these are crazy, it is. But 681 00:37:47,640 --> 00:37:51,880 Speaker 2: what they've done is that impulse that we have that 682 00:37:51,920 --> 00:37:53,560 Speaker 2: we all have as human beings, I think, to do 683 00:37:53,680 --> 00:37:56,600 Speaker 2: good and to fight against evil. They've replaced what is 684 00:37:56,640 --> 00:37:58,800 Speaker 2: good and evil in their minds and left adopts a 685 00:37:58,840 --> 00:38:04,399 Speaker 2: philosophy of moral relativity and collectivism. So they sign onto 686 00:38:04,440 --> 00:38:08,280 Speaker 2: these things, they sign onto the battle against these these 687 00:38:08,320 --> 00:38:11,520 Speaker 2: great evils in their minds that in some cases are 688 00:38:11,640 --> 00:38:14,200 Speaker 2: entire just entirely irrelevant. I mean, it's a phantom, but 689 00:38:14,280 --> 00:38:20,320 Speaker 2: also makes them useful Saulolynski style for the mobilization against 690 00:38:20,360 --> 00:38:23,640 Speaker 2: political opponents. And in this case, their political opponents are 691 00:38:23,640 --> 00:38:26,160 Speaker 2: people like you and me and this audience who recognize 692 00:38:26,520 --> 00:38:29,520 Speaker 2: that Hamas are the bad guys and all this other 693 00:38:29,600 --> 00:38:32,080 Speaker 2: talk about, oh, but they're oppressed, or look at history 694 00:38:32,160 --> 00:38:34,720 Speaker 2: or it's great or whatever. No. No, at some point, 695 00:38:35,120 --> 00:38:37,279 Speaker 2: the guy who's breaking into a house to murder the 696 00:38:37,320 --> 00:38:39,400 Speaker 2: whole family and steal everything they have is just the 697 00:38:39,400 --> 00:38:42,080 Speaker 2: bad guy. Yeah. I don't care how he grew up. 698 00:38:42,120 --> 00:38:44,080 Speaker 2: I don't care what was done to him twenty years ago. 699 00:38:44,160 --> 00:38:46,800 Speaker 2: I don't care about you know, historical oppression or whatever. 700 00:38:47,280 --> 00:38:50,520 Speaker 2: He's just a bad guy. And you want to help 701 00:38:50,560 --> 00:38:54,640 Speaker 2: that homeowner defend himself and eliminate the for civilization. 702 00:38:55,440 --> 00:38:57,920 Speaker 1: Yeah, and increasingly, it seems to me, and we'll talk 703 00:38:57,920 --> 00:39:00,920 Speaker 1: about this some in the third hour. The left focuses 704 00:39:00,960 --> 00:39:04,040 Speaker 1: on things that are not actual crimes and treats them 705 00:39:04,040 --> 00:39:07,840 Speaker 1: as morally and defensible, like this little kid painting his 706 00:39:07,920 --> 00:39:10,759 Speaker 1: face and go into a football game while refusing to 707 00:39:10,840 --> 00:39:17,120 Speaker 1: condemn actual violence. And here's the reality, everybody before us 708 00:39:17,160 --> 00:39:17,960 Speaker 1: was not an imbecile. 709 00:39:18,320 --> 00:39:18,480 Speaker 2: Right. 710 00:39:19,520 --> 00:39:22,399 Speaker 1: Part of I think conservatism in general is presuming that 711 00:39:22,760 --> 00:39:25,720 Speaker 1: people who lived and died before you were not all 712 00:39:26,080 --> 00:39:30,000 Speaker 1: total morons, that they did understand some of what it 713 00:39:30,120 --> 00:39:33,160 Speaker 1: was to be human. But the entire precept of our 714 00:39:33,200 --> 00:39:37,200 Speaker 1: criminal justice code, to your point, is that we rank 715 00:39:38,000 --> 00:39:42,600 Speaker 1: violence and treat violent crimes differently. Murder in the first 716 00:39:42,600 --> 00:39:49,080 Speaker 1: degree is different than jaywalking, right, And the punishments for 717 00:39:49,280 --> 00:39:53,719 Speaker 1: crimes should be commensurate with the quality and severity of 718 00:39:53,760 --> 00:39:56,200 Speaker 1: those crimes. And we don't even we're not able to 719 00:39:56,360 --> 00:39:58,640 Speaker 1: do that in this day and age, younger people have 720 00:39:58,800 --> 00:39:59,719 Speaker 1: lost that ability. 721 00:40:00,239 --> 00:40:05,759 Speaker 2: Yeah, an ununderstanding of degree and severity is I think 722 00:40:05,800 --> 00:40:07,839 Speaker 2: one of the most important things that you can have 723 00:40:08,360 --> 00:40:10,960 Speaker 2: as a judgment. I mean, to be able to be 724 00:40:11,000 --> 00:40:13,960 Speaker 2: a person of judgment or a nation that can exercise judgment. 725 00:40:14,239 --> 00:40:16,880 Speaker 2: You can understand that there are things that can be 726 00:40:16,920 --> 00:40:20,279 Speaker 2: broadly similar, but there are critical distinctions within them. I 727 00:40:20,360 --> 00:40:22,960 Speaker 2: give a perfect example. I mean the Soviets when they 728 00:40:22,960 --> 00:40:26,640 Speaker 2: were running anti US propaganda and don't even get me 729 00:40:26,640 --> 00:40:30,040 Speaker 2: started on Oppenheimer again, that COMI trash movie. But when 730 00:40:30,040 --> 00:40:32,600 Speaker 2: they're running you know, propaganda, they would always talk about 731 00:40:32,840 --> 00:40:38,000 Speaker 2: America's history of slavery. You know, it's like, well, they're 732 00:40:38,000 --> 00:40:40,399 Speaker 2: doing this in the nineteen sixties, nineteen seventies, nineteen eighties. 733 00:40:40,400 --> 00:40:43,000 Speaker 2: Why they're talking about America's history of slavery, And anytime 734 00:40:43,040 --> 00:40:45,560 Speaker 2: they would be pressed on an issue, they would revert. 735 00:40:45,800 --> 00:40:48,239 Speaker 2: The same thing. In Cuba, all the worst dictators, all 736 00:40:48,280 --> 00:40:52,640 Speaker 2: the worst authoritarians, they will find those who actually stand 737 00:40:52,640 --> 00:40:56,040 Speaker 2: for freedom and point out that they are imperfect and 738 00:40:56,080 --> 00:40:59,200 Speaker 2: then say, so, we don't have to Ahmedinajad you remember him, Yeah, 739 00:40:59,280 --> 00:41:02,040 Speaker 2: leader of IRANBA the day invited at Columbia University in 740 00:41:02,040 --> 00:41:03,840 Speaker 2: two thousand and seven. I'll never forget this. I was 741 00:41:03,840 --> 00:41:05,080 Speaker 2: still at the CIA at the time. I was just 742 00:41:05,120 --> 00:41:09,439 Speaker 2: reading about the newspapers. Akhmedinajad, president of Iran, shows up 743 00:41:10,080 --> 00:41:12,960 Speaker 2: at Columbia University and you know, all those kids are 744 00:41:12,960 --> 00:41:15,320 Speaker 2: there to hear about Oh yeah, like oppression and the 745 00:41:15,440 --> 00:41:18,160 Speaker 2: Zionist entity, and we see what goes on campuses. But 746 00:41:18,200 --> 00:41:19,799 Speaker 2: they realize Hold on a second. When he was asked 747 00:41:19,800 --> 00:41:21,799 Speaker 2: about gay people in his country and oppression of gays, 748 00:41:21,840 --> 00:41:23,919 Speaker 2: you know what he said, right, we don't have any 749 00:41:23,920 --> 00:41:26,960 Speaker 2: gay people. Oh yeah, I remember that and all of 750 00:41:27,000 --> 00:41:29,960 Speaker 2: a sudden, the left was like, oh, wait a second, 751 00:41:30,080 --> 00:41:34,040 Speaker 2: Wait a second, because he's an evil man representing an 752 00:41:34,120 --> 00:41:37,040 Speaker 2: evil regime, and his criticisms of the US are made 753 00:41:37,040 --> 00:41:40,120 Speaker 2: in entirely bad faith, very similar to what I see 754 00:41:40,160 --> 00:41:42,359 Speaker 2: going on with Hamas and the Palestinian cause. By the way, 755 00:41:42,360 --> 00:41:43,880 Speaker 2: all these people say, oh, you just want all the 756 00:41:43,920 --> 00:41:46,320 Speaker 2: Palestinians to die. Anyone who says that on my Twitter 757 00:41:46,360 --> 00:41:48,359 Speaker 2: mentions is a moron. I don't even engage with them 758 00:41:48,600 --> 00:41:51,080 Speaker 2: because of course that's not true. And if Israel wanted 759 00:41:51,120 --> 00:41:53,000 Speaker 2: every Palestinian to die in Gaza, you know what, they 760 00:41:53,000 --> 00:41:55,319 Speaker 2: could do exactly that, but they don't want to do 761 00:41:55,360 --> 00:41:59,239 Speaker 2: that because they try to act with morality. China to 762 00:41:59,239 --> 00:42:02,400 Speaker 2: build on your analogy. In its most recent one of 763 00:42:02,440 --> 00:42:06,200 Speaker 2: its most recent meetings with America, spent almost the entire 764 00:42:07,040 --> 00:42:10,719 Speaker 2: meeting in the public sphere arguing that America didn't have 765 00:42:10,840 --> 00:42:14,879 Speaker 2: to be accepted because of its legacy of racism. Yeah, 766 00:42:14,960 --> 00:42:16,080 Speaker 2: I mean this is what you. I mean that the 767 00:42:16,120 --> 00:42:17,960 Speaker 2: Hamas Israel thing. And you're like, if you sat down 768 00:42:17,960 --> 00:42:19,880 Speaker 2: with somebody Clay who's a serial killer, and you're like, 769 00:42:19,880 --> 00:42:21,560 Speaker 2: why do you kill all those people? And he's like Clay, 770 00:42:21,600 --> 00:42:25,560 Speaker 2: why did you speed five years ago? You're a criminal too. Yeah, well, 771 00:42:25,640 --> 00:42:27,960 Speaker 2: but that's not how morality works, folks, is it. But 772 00:42:28,040 --> 00:42:29,960 Speaker 2: you look at the left, that's exactly what they're doing 773 00:42:29,960 --> 00:42:32,760 Speaker 2: now with Israel and Palestine. And when is it terrorism? 774 00:42:32,760 --> 00:42:35,960 Speaker 2: When Israel responds, you know when you see it, and 775 00:42:36,000 --> 00:42:38,239 Speaker 2: what they're doing is a military campaign to destroy a 776 00:42:38,320 --> 00:42:40,920 Speaker 2: terrorist entity that's a continuous threat to the Israeli people. 777 00:42:42,000 --> 00:42:43,640 Speaker 2: All right, hate under two A two two eight at 778 00:42:43,680 --> 00:42:44,960 Speaker 2: two in those lines, give us a call, Let us 779 00:42:44,960 --> 00:42:46,480 Speaker 2: know what you think.

They are the defending Super Bowl champions. 804 00:44:12,719 --> 00:44:17,720 Speaker 1: They are the Kansas City Chiefs. A kid, probably based 805 00:44:17,760 --> 00:44:20,840 Speaker 1: on the picture Buck, I would say a seven or 806 00:44:20,880 --> 00:44:23,360 Speaker 1: eight year old kid, maybe a nine year old kid 807 00:44:23,800 --> 00:44:28,000 Speaker 1: elementary school age right second, third, fourth, fifth grade, something 808 00:44:28,200 --> 00:44:33,080 Speaker 1: like that kid wore a head dress as a to 809 00:44:33,120 --> 00:44:35,640 Speaker 1: pay homage to to dress up in a costume for 810 00:44:35,719 --> 00:44:39,560 Speaker 1: a football game, which not really that uncommon, And he 811 00:44:39,680 --> 00:44:44,480 Speaker 1: also painted his face. Half of his face was black, 812 00:44:45,080 --> 00:44:49,879 Speaker 1: the other half was red. The Kansasity Chiefs primary team 813 00:44:49,960 --> 00:44:52,960 Speaker 1: color is red, one of their team colors is black. 814 00:44:53,000 --> 00:44:56,280 Speaker 1: There's like four different official team colors of the Kansas 815 00:44:56,320 --> 00:44:59,680 Speaker 1: City Chiefs. But he was wearing a head dress half 816 00:44:59,680 --> 00:45:03,560 Speaker 1: a red, half black. He was appeared on the broadcast 817 00:45:03,680 --> 00:45:07,359 Speaker 1: for a short period of time, and the shot that 818 00:45:07,400 --> 00:45:09,960 Speaker 1: they showed on the broadcast you could only see one 819 00:45:10,120 --> 00:45:15,600 Speaker 1: half of his face. A website called Deadspin, which I 820 00:45:15,719 --> 00:45:19,920 Speaker 1: believe has long passed its age of relevancy. Full disclosure. 821 00:45:20,000 --> 00:45:23,520 Speaker 1: I worked on this website like fifteen sixteen years ago, 822 00:45:24,080 --> 00:45:27,560 Speaker 1: when it was still primarily about having fun with sports 823 00:45:27,600 --> 00:45:31,520 Speaker 1: and had not turned into a crazy left wing organization. 824 00:45:32,640 --> 00:45:37,320 Speaker 1: A writer on that website wrote an article going after 825 00:45:37,640 --> 00:45:42,400 Speaker 1: the kid and demanding that there be consequences for the 826 00:45:42,480 --> 00:45:46,879 Speaker 1: Kansas City Chiefs and for the kid based on one 827 00:45:47,000 --> 00:45:51,839 Speaker 1: half of his face being black. The headline said, the 828 00:45:52,000 --> 00:45:55,520 Speaker 1: NFL needs to speak out against the Kansas City Chiefs 829 00:45:55,560 --> 00:46:01,719 Speaker 1: fan in blackface, native head dress. The NFL needs to 830 00:46:01,719 --> 00:46:03,759 Speaker 1: speak out about this you know eight or nine year 831 00:46:03,800 --> 00:46:09,800 Speaker 1: old kid that is wearing this costume, again only based 832 00:46:09,840 --> 00:46:14,280 Speaker 1: on one side of the face. I have been somewhat 833 00:46:14,400 --> 00:46:18,560 Speaker 1: encouraged by how much this writer has been getting ridiculed Buck, 834 00:46:19,840 --> 00:46:22,719 Speaker 1: But I think now you agree with me that the 835 00:46:22,760 --> 00:46:25,600 Speaker 1: world of sports media is even woker than the world 836 00:46:25,680 --> 00:46:29,279 Speaker 1: of politics. What was your reaction when you saw this 837 00:46:29,440 --> 00:46:33,640 Speaker 1: story and it's circulated through your narrative filters. 838 00:46:34,000 --> 00:46:38,319 Speaker 2: Well, I mean, respectfully, I think that you know, if 839 00:46:38,360 --> 00:46:40,719 Speaker 2: you couldn't hack it writing about politics, you know, for 840 00:46:40,760 --> 00:46:42,719 Speaker 2: some people's sports is a little easier to do. That's 841 00:46:42,760 --> 00:46:46,480 Speaker 2: why when I saw that AI writing Sports Illustrated stories, 842 00:46:46,520 --> 00:46:49,680 Speaker 2: which now Sports Illustrated says is not true. I mean, yeah, 843 00:46:49,680 --> 00:46:52,400 Speaker 2: I could sort of watch and write about the you know, 844 00:46:52,440 --> 00:46:54,680 Speaker 2: who won in the game or whatever as well. Right, 845 00:46:54,920 --> 00:46:56,839 Speaker 2: I think AI is probably going to take over some 846 00:46:56,880 --> 00:47:00,839 Speaker 2: of those roles pretty quickly. But when I saw this, 847 00:47:01,280 --> 00:47:05,440 Speaker 2: I was reminded immediately of we don't have this this club. 848 00:47:05,440 --> 00:47:07,919 Speaker 2: Maybe I can get it to for later on this hour. 849 00:47:08,000 --> 00:47:11,680 Speaker 2: But you know, when Elon Musk said, I think it 850 00:47:11,760 --> 00:47:14,040 Speaker 2: was on the Babylon B podcast, I think he was 851 00:47:14,080 --> 00:47:17,280 Speaker 2: dealing it with Seth Dylan. If memory serves that wokeness 852 00:47:17,320 --> 00:47:20,719 Speaker 2: is an excuse for people to be cruel but think 853 00:47:20,719 --> 00:47:23,359 Speaker 2: they're virtuous when they do it, that's really the heart 854 00:47:23,360 --> 00:47:26,160 Speaker 2: of wokeness. I'm paraphrasing, but it was something like that 855 00:47:26,400 --> 00:47:28,560 Speaker 2: that wokeness is just an excuse for people to be cruel. 856 00:47:28,840 --> 00:47:31,759 Speaker 2: What could be more cruel than to how old was 857 00:47:31,800 --> 00:47:32,080 Speaker 2: the kid? 858 00:47:32,080 --> 00:47:35,239 Speaker 1: Again, I don't know that they've identified with it, but 859 00:47:35,400 --> 00:47:38,640 Speaker 1: like telementary age, I mean I'm saying like second to 860 00:47:38,680 --> 00:47:41,239 Speaker 1: fifth grade something like that, So like eight, nine, ten 861 00:47:41,280 --> 00:47:42,920 Speaker 1: years old, right, I mean, that's something in that in 862 00:47:42,960 --> 00:47:43,640 Speaker 1: that category. 863 00:47:43,840 --> 00:47:46,160 Speaker 2: Let's just say he's let's say he's roughly ten years old. 864 00:47:46,719 --> 00:47:52,080 Speaker 2: To try to really possibly, just given the way that 865 00:47:52,120 --> 00:47:54,600 Speaker 2: the online world works these days, destroy the life of 866 00:47:54,640 --> 00:47:57,600 Speaker 2: a ten year old boy or his future, or in 867 00:47:57,640 --> 00:47:59,719 Speaker 2: any way make him feel bad or make his parents 868 00:47:59,760 --> 00:48:03,399 Speaker 2: feel bad over something that is so clearly a It's 869 00:48:03,440 --> 00:48:06,960 Speaker 2: not that it's inoffensive. It's a non offense. There is 870 00:48:07,000 --> 00:48:09,759 Speaker 2: no offense. There is no offense possible from this. It 871 00:48:09,840 --> 00:48:12,440 Speaker 2: is impossible to be offended by this. You have to 872 00:48:12,560 --> 00:48:16,040 Speaker 2: pretend to be the dumbest person on the planet to 873 00:48:16,160 --> 00:48:18,319 Speaker 2: believe that this is in any way because, let's get 874 00:48:18,360 --> 00:48:20,280 Speaker 2: to it, what is it. They're accusing them of blackface, 875 00:48:20,560 --> 00:48:23,040 Speaker 2: So they're accusing this this child of doing something that 876 00:48:23,080 --> 00:48:25,840 Speaker 2: is meant to be a mockery of black people. That's insane, 877 00:48:25,960 --> 00:48:29,759 Speaker 2: that's insane. No one believes that. So that's why the 878 00:48:29,800 --> 00:48:33,560 Speaker 2: Babylon b uh you see this. They in response to this, 879 00:48:33,640 --> 00:48:36,880 Speaker 2: they have journalists condemned Little leaguer for wearing twelve percent 880 00:48:36,960 --> 00:48:39,919 Speaker 2: blackface because of the you know the way which is yes, 881 00:48:39,960 --> 00:48:42,560 Speaker 2: people eye black eye black or the Greece, you know, 882 00:48:42,600 --> 00:48:44,560 Speaker 2: the sort of grease pain under the under their eyes 883 00:48:44,560 --> 00:48:46,960 Speaker 2: for the And that's exactly what I was thinking too, 884 00:48:47,040 --> 00:48:50,919 Speaker 2: is where is where is the line here? But I'll 885 00:48:50,960 --> 00:48:54,360 Speaker 2: tell you this, as crazy as it is in some 886 00:48:54,600 --> 00:48:59,480 Speaker 2: left wing circles, this actually proves your devotion. It's like 887 00:48:59,560 --> 00:49:02,840 Speaker 2: being the cult member who's willing to do anything, like 888 00:49:02,880 --> 00:49:04,799 Speaker 2: willing to let the leader of the cult. You don't 889 00:49:04,800 --> 00:49:06,920 Speaker 2: sleep with your wife anymore. Only the cult leader can 890 00:49:06,960 --> 00:49:09,239 Speaker 2: sleep with your wife. Yeah, that's the ultimate devotion, right, 891 00:49:10,200 --> 00:49:12,440 Speaker 2: If you're a leftist and you're willing to try to 892 00:49:13,040 --> 00:49:15,080 Speaker 2: slander a ten year old kid. We saw this with 893 00:49:15,160 --> 00:49:18,719 Speaker 2: Comington High School and remember the Native American thing with 894 00:49:18,840 --> 00:49:21,680 Speaker 2: Comington High School kids. CNN was willing to slander. If 895 00:49:21,680 --> 00:49:24,359 Speaker 2: you're willing to slander children to score political points, you're 896 00:49:24,360 --> 00:49:26,719 Speaker 2: a psychopath. But it actually works in the left a 897 00:49:26,719 --> 00:49:29,839 Speaker 2: little bit clay. It actually gets people sometimes. I think 898 00:49:29,840 --> 00:49:32,640 Speaker 2: this case, maybe he's gone too far, but usually it 899 00:49:32,680 --> 00:49:33,560 Speaker 2: works to their favor. 900 00:49:34,040 --> 00:49:36,960 Speaker 1: So one you mentioned the EyeBlack and the Babylon b 901 00:49:37,200 --> 00:49:39,960 Speaker 1: satirizing it. I believe we mentioned on this show, and 902 00:49:40,000 --> 00:49:42,920 Speaker 1: I'm not sure what the resolution ended up being. A 903 00:49:43,040 --> 00:49:48,920 Speaker 1: kid got suspended from his California school for wearing EyeBlack 904 00:49:49,760 --> 00:49:52,799 Speaker 1: too much, and they said he was using it and 905 00:49:52,840 --> 00:49:56,719 Speaker 1: doing blackface the picture of the kids. Sometimes people wear 906 00:49:56,800 --> 00:49:59,719 Speaker 1: EyeBlack and like turn it into a design, right, that's 907 00:49:59,800 --> 00:50:04,160 Speaker 1: not uncommon. Excessive amounts of EyeBlack can be a trendy 908 00:50:04,239 --> 00:50:07,560 Speaker 1: thing for someone to do as part of a football game. 909 00:50:07,719 --> 00:50:10,759 Speaker 1: A couple of things that I think also stand out here. 910 00:50:11,600 --> 00:50:15,400 Speaker 1: I hope that this is a moment in time where 911 00:50:16,840 --> 00:50:21,920 Speaker 1: people will reflect if you are an adult demanding consequences 912 00:50:21,960 --> 00:50:24,920 Speaker 1: for a kid and a costume, you are never the 913 00:50:24,960 --> 00:50:31,360 Speaker 1: good guy period. Second part of this, and I hope 914 00:50:31,400 --> 00:50:34,720 Speaker 1: the Internet can come to agreement on that second part 915 00:50:34,880 --> 00:50:38,479 Speaker 1: of this, and you hit on it. Can we get 916 00:50:38,520 --> 00:50:39,800 Speaker 1: back to intent. 917 00:50:40,080 --> 00:50:41,560 Speaker 2: In the world. 918 00:50:42,360 --> 00:50:46,840 Speaker 1: If you are intending to draw and mock black people 919 00:50:47,280 --> 00:50:53,280 Speaker 1: by wearing blackface. You can be ridiculed, and you should 920 00:50:53,320 --> 00:50:57,840 Speaker 1: be in my opinion, but dressing up at a costume 921 00:50:57,880 --> 00:51:03,239 Speaker 1: at a football game is not remotely that right, So 922 00:51:04,200 --> 00:51:07,400 Speaker 1: what is the intent here? And then ultimately, to me, 923 00:51:07,520 --> 00:51:09,680 Speaker 1: this brings it home. And I tweeted this out and 924 00:51:09,719 --> 00:51:11,400 Speaker 1: I just want all of you to think about this. 925 00:51:12,880 --> 00:51:17,319 Speaker 1: The same leftists who are going after a kid at 926 00:51:17,320 --> 00:51:20,960 Speaker 1: a Kansas City Chiefs football game for painting his face 927 00:51:21,680 --> 00:51:26,319 Speaker 1: half black and half red, believe that it is courageous 928 00:51:26,360 --> 00:51:32,040 Speaker 1: and brave for a man to win a women's championship 929 00:51:32,320 --> 00:51:35,640 Speaker 1: by pretending that he is a woman. If you are 930 00:51:35,680 --> 00:51:39,440 Speaker 1: out there right now and you are defending men dressing 931 00:51:39,560 --> 00:51:43,680 Speaker 1: up as women as courageous and brave, and a kid 932 00:51:43,760 --> 00:51:46,880 Speaker 1: dressing up as an Indian or a Native American or 933 00:51:46,880 --> 00:51:50,360 Speaker 1: whatever you want to call him as unacceptable and worthy 934 00:51:50,400 --> 00:51:55,000 Speaker 1: of censure, you do not deserve to be treated as 935 00:51:55,040 --> 00:52:00,880 Speaker 1: an adult because your brain is so broken you are imbecile. 936 00:52:02,320 --> 00:52:04,080 Speaker 1: This is where they are buck think of it. I mean, 937 00:52:04,120 --> 00:52:07,920 Speaker 1: I think it really drills and distills at home. Man 938 00:52:07,960 --> 00:52:12,319 Speaker 1: pretending to be woman, heroic, grown man pretending to be 939 00:52:12,360 --> 00:52:16,400 Speaker 1: a woman, courageous for him to win a women's sports championship. 940 00:52:17,000 --> 00:52:20,080 Speaker 1: Little kid goes to a sporting event and dresses up 941 00:52:20,160 --> 00:52:24,600 Speaker 1: as the mascot of his favorite team. He's racist and 942 00:52:24,719 --> 00:52:27,680 Speaker 1: the entire league needs to take action. I mean, think 943 00:52:27,680 --> 00:52:30,319 Speaker 1: about this. They're demanding that the nfl w track down 944 00:52:30,360 --> 00:52:32,480 Speaker 1: the nine year old and do what to him, not 945 00:52:32,560 --> 00:52:34,480 Speaker 1: allow him to go to watch his favorite team play 946 00:52:34,480 --> 00:52:35,600 Speaker 1: football games anymore. 947 00:52:37,120 --> 00:52:39,120 Speaker 2: That's what they're trying to argue for. But this is 948 00:52:39,160 --> 00:52:42,040 Speaker 2: again the must quote. This was in twenty twenty one. 949 00:52:42,719 --> 00:52:47,640 Speaker 2: He said, at its heart, wokeness is divisive, exclusionary, and hateful. 950 00:52:48,160 --> 00:52:52,040 Speaker 2: It basically gives mean people a shield to be mean 951 00:52:52,200 --> 00:52:56,880 Speaker 2: and cruel, armored in false virtue. That is the single 952 00:52:56,920 --> 00:53:00,399 Speaker 2: best That's why I remembered the single best description of 953 00:53:00,440 --> 00:53:03,080 Speaker 2: the heart of wokeness I've actually ever heard anyone give. 954 00:53:03,840 --> 00:53:06,200 Speaker 2: And it's absolutely true. And what could be a more 955 00:53:06,239 --> 00:53:09,600 Speaker 2: clear example of it than this. Uh, The notion that 956 00:53:09,680 --> 00:53:13,879 Speaker 2: you would want to humiliate a ten year old as 957 00:53:13,880 --> 00:53:17,400 Speaker 2: an adult writing for a website you know for it 958 00:53:17,440 --> 00:53:19,120 Speaker 2: and think you're the good guy, and think you're the 959 00:53:19,160 --> 00:53:23,280 Speaker 2: good guy just shows the insanity to which the lengths 960 00:53:23,280 --> 00:53:25,480 Speaker 2: of insanity to which people are go willing to go. 961 00:53:26,040 --> 00:53:29,839 Speaker 2: And I think that here there's been a backlash against it. 962 00:53:29,880 --> 00:53:31,960 Speaker 2: But you know, there's also a part of me that 963 00:53:32,000 --> 00:53:34,799 Speaker 2: thinks that, okay, they went too far this time. But 964 00:53:35,600 --> 00:53:39,200 Speaker 2: there really is this There are there are these rules 965 00:53:39,280 --> 00:53:43,719 Speaker 2: now that are constantly in flux. And part of this 966 00:53:43,760 --> 00:53:45,360 Speaker 2: has to also be you know, people just need to 967 00:53:45,400 --> 00:53:47,759 Speaker 2: calm down, like the people who are looking for of 968 00:53:47,760 --> 00:53:50,520 Speaker 2: fence all the time. It's not enough to me to say, Okay, 969 00:53:50,760 --> 00:53:53,960 Speaker 2: we didn't violate, you know, some rule this time. It's 970 00:53:54,440 --> 00:53:56,279 Speaker 2: why I was looking for why I was looking for 971 00:53:56,320 --> 00:53:59,360 Speaker 2: people to to basically hate, you know, why he was 972 00:53:59,360 --> 00:54:03,839 Speaker 2: looking for people who violated some rule of wokeness. There's 973 00:54:03,880 --> 00:54:06,400 Speaker 2: something wrong with them. I mean, there's something deeply unhappy. 974 00:54:06,480 --> 00:54:09,399 Speaker 2: They are the malcontents in our society, and they're never 975 00:54:09,440 --> 00:54:12,839 Speaker 2: going to stop because it comes from a place of 976 00:54:12,840 --> 00:54:17,360 Speaker 2: of of anger, insecurity and and rage, quite honestly, and 977 00:54:17,400 --> 00:54:19,520 Speaker 2: so they look for people. That's why I always hated 978 00:54:19,520 --> 00:54:22,240 Speaker 2: that site Gawker. For example, it's rash heap. 979 00:54:22,560 --> 00:54:26,040 Speaker 1: Which owned dead Spin, did it, Oh yeah, that's the 980 00:54:26,080 --> 00:54:28,520 Speaker 1: dead Spin was the sports arm of Gawker. 981 00:54:28,920 --> 00:54:31,239 Speaker 2: These these are the these are the places on the 982 00:54:31,280 --> 00:54:34,960 Speaker 2: Internet where they made a business of being openly and 983 00:54:35,120 --> 00:54:37,560 Speaker 2: outwardly cruel, one of the one of the best things. 984 00:54:37,680 --> 00:54:40,160 Speaker 2: Speaking of Hulk Hogan, Hulk Hogan and Peter Teel and 985 00:54:40,160 --> 00:54:42,800 Speaker 2: the funding of that lawsuit to get rid of Gawker 986 00:54:43,480 --> 00:54:46,840 Speaker 2: was a service for humanity, not quite along the lines 987 00:54:46,840 --> 00:54:48,840 Speaker 2: of Elon buying Twitter. I know a lot of you 988 00:54:48,840 --> 00:54:50,960 Speaker 2: don't know what Gawker is, probably don't member you never 989 00:54:51,000 --> 00:54:54,640 Speaker 2: went to the site. It was the place where character 990 00:54:54,719 --> 00:54:58,319 Speaker 2: assassination and the destruction of people's lives was like just 991 00:54:58,360 --> 00:55:00,800 Speaker 2: a constant lol. It was all all for the lulls, 992 00:55:00,840 --> 00:55:05,520 Speaker 2: the lols. And I hope and clearly has some of 993 00:55:05,520 --> 00:55:06,040 Speaker 2: that still. 994 00:55:06,560 --> 00:55:10,279 Speaker 1: Yeah, I hope this kid sues because he is a 995 00:55:10,719 --> 00:55:17,120 Speaker 1: private figure who was defamed by a prominent publication. And 996 00:55:17,160 --> 00:55:19,200 Speaker 1: you know, we never got the result of what the 997 00:55:19,239 --> 00:55:23,080 Speaker 1: Covington Catholic lawsuits were. They were all settled. But when 998 00:55:23,160 --> 00:55:25,680 Speaker 1: you're a private figure, this is a quick little side 999 00:55:25,719 --> 00:55:31,000 Speaker 1: gesture of the law. The standard by which media is 1000 00:55:31,120 --> 00:55:34,319 Speaker 1: required to treat you is quite different than if you 1001 00:55:34,360 --> 00:55:37,799 Speaker 1: are a public figure. And I would argue that a 1002 00:55:38,239 --> 00:55:41,520 Speaker 1: you know, elementary school kid in the stands at a 1003 00:55:41,520 --> 00:55:45,520 Speaker 1: football game is not a public figure for purposes of 1004 00:55:45,680 --> 00:55:47,000 Speaker 1: adults coming after him. 1005 00:55:47,320 --> 00:55:49,920 Speaker 2: If anyone is a member of this family or knows 1006 00:55:50,040 --> 00:55:52,200 Speaker 2: who this family is, and they I know some people 1007 00:55:52,200 --> 00:55:54,600 Speaker 2: that I think would be very, very interested in helping 1008 00:55:55,080 --> 00:55:57,879 Speaker 2: and helping in this situation that family try to get 1009 00:55:57,880 --> 00:55:59,800 Speaker 2: a little justice for their sign and for themselves. So 1010 00:56:00,400 --> 00:56:02,160 Speaker 2: reach out to our team here. Let us know. How 1011 00:56:02,239 --> 00:56:03,200 Speaker 2: can you get in contact. 1012 00:56:03,239 --> 00:56:05,000 Speaker 1: You don't have kids yet, Buck, but I just get 1013 00:56:05,080 --> 00:56:09,440 Speaker 1: so fired up anytime I see adults going after kids. 1014 00:56:10,040 --> 00:56:12,239 Speaker 1: And an elementary school kid goes to a football game 1015 00:56:12,239 --> 00:56:14,080 Speaker 1: to cheer on his favorite team, and you demand that 1016 00:56:14,120 --> 00:56:17,279 Speaker 1: the NFL say something about him painting his face and 1017 00:56:17,320 --> 00:56:20,680 Speaker 1: wearing a head dress, Like where are we that kids 1018 00:56:20,760 --> 00:56:24,000 Speaker 1: dressing up by as Indians is? Like kids can't even 1019 00:56:24,000 --> 00:56:27,120 Speaker 1: play cowboy in Indian anymore. I mean, it's more offensive 1020 00:56:27,160 --> 00:56:30,920 Speaker 1: than men dressing up as women. I can't believe this 1021 00:56:30,960 --> 00:56:35,000 Speaker 1: is where we are. You know, there's an ongoing battle 1022 00:56:35,040 --> 00:56:37,399 Speaker 1: for the fate of unborn children. The Left is going 1023 00:56:37,440 --> 00:56:40,880 Speaker 1: the distance to make abortions as available and accessible as possible. 1024 00:56:41,239 --> 00:56:44,280 Speaker 1: But who's taking action to provide unborn children a chance 1025 00:56:44,320 --> 00:56:44,800 Speaker 1: at life? 1026 00:56:45,239 --> 00:56:47,960 Speaker 2: Well? The Preborn Network of Clinics is one such organization. 1027 00:56:48,200 --> 00:56:52,759 Speaker 2: They're seventeen seventeen years into their never ending service.

They 1029 00:56:55,800 --> 00:56:59,840 Speaker 2: offer support and counseling as well as an ultrasound experience. 1030 00:57:00,120 --> 00:57:03,160 Speaker 2: Is that experience, the ultrasound that so often creates that 1031 00:57:03,280 --> 00:57:05,640 Speaker 2: bond between mother and child, that gives her a chance 1032 00:57:05,680 --> 00:57:08,360 Speaker 2: to meet the child in the womb, hear the heartbeat, 1033 00:57:08,600 --> 00:57:11,440 Speaker 2: and to witness what's going on inside our body. And 1034 00:57:11,480 --> 00:57:15,040 Speaker 2: then so often that ultrasound leads to a decision by 1035 00:57:15,120 --> 00:57:18,600 Speaker 2: that mother to give life to that child. This happens 1036 00:57:18,640 --> 00:57:21,920 Speaker 2: about two hundred times a day thanks to Preborn. That's 1037 00:57:21,960 --> 00:57:26,080 Speaker 2: two hundred lives that are brought into existence.
