1 00:00:00,680 --> 00:00:01,200 Speaker 1: Welcome. 2 00:00:01,280 --> 00:00:07,200 Speaker 2: In Wednesday edition Clay Travis buck Sexton Show, the sun 3 00:00:07,680 --> 00:00:12,920 Speaker 2: is in fact up after a dark night, and I'm 4 00:00:12,960 --> 00:00:16,880 Speaker 2: in New York City and it is certainly a very 5 00:00:16,960 --> 00:00:21,920 Speaker 2: dark morning in New York City. We will dive into, 6 00:00:22,280 --> 00:00:27,520 Speaker 2: as you might well imagine, Mam Donnie's huge win, the 7 00:00:27,680 --> 00:00:32,240 Speaker 2: wins in New Jersey and in Virginia for the Democrat candidates. 8 00:00:32,280 --> 00:00:36,160 Speaker 2: It is the one year anniversary of Trump's big win. 9 00:00:37,560 --> 00:00:41,519 Speaker 2: And certainly the Democrats who hate Trump, well, they have 10 00:00:41,680 --> 00:00:45,360 Speaker 2: not stopped hating Trump. And to me, Buck, there are 11 00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:49,000 Speaker 2: two big takeaways that I have and then I'm curious 12 00:00:49,040 --> 00:00:52,520 Speaker 2: whether you co sign or whether you have different takeaways. 13 00:00:52,600 --> 00:00:56,480 Speaker 2: And to me, let's start with New York City. This 14 00:00:56,560 --> 00:01:01,120 Speaker 2: is not an upset. Mam Donnie won a majority of 15 00:01:01,160 --> 00:01:05,200 Speaker 2: the vote in one of the highest turnout elections that 16 00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:08,640 Speaker 2: New York City has seen in most of the listeners' 17 00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:13,240 Speaker 2: lives out there, So all of our wr people open 18 00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:15,960 Speaker 2: phone lines. By the way, producer Greg will open them 19 00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:18,720 Speaker 2: if all of you. Curtis Slee, what people would like 20 00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:22,200 Speaker 2: to call in and apologize to me for correctly pointing 21 00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:25,320 Speaker 2: out that he had zero percent chance of winning and 22 00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:28,000 Speaker 2: that honestly I do think if he had dropped out 23 00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:30,919 Speaker 2: earlier and it had been a Cuomo against Mom Donnie 24 00:01:30,959 --> 00:01:34,080 Speaker 2: straight up election, I think that Cuomo may have been 25 00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:36,440 Speaker 2: able to win. The latest numbers that I saw Buck, 26 00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:39,280 Speaker 2: unless more have come in, is that Mam Donnie won 27 00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:43,080 Speaker 2: right around fifty four point four percent of the vote, 28 00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:47,039 Speaker 2: that is just barely over a majority, and that the 29 00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:50,240 Speaker 2: rest was split between SLIWA and so New York City. 30 00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:52,760 Speaker 2: Starting there, what was your take? My biggest take is like, 31 00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:56,480 Speaker 2: this is what New York wanted. The polls were all correct. 32 00:01:57,360 --> 00:02:00,080 Speaker 3: Let's take a moment because we get a lot of 33 00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:02,480 Speaker 3: of oh, you can't trust the polls, you can't know. 34 00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:06,960 Speaker 3: The polls were pretty much spot on the people that 35 00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:11,280 Speaker 3: were leading all one, and the margins were more or 36 00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:13,320 Speaker 3: less what was expected. Virginia might have been a little 37 00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:16,560 Speaker 3: bigger than expected, but look, we lost the governor's mansion 38 00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:19,639 Speaker 3: in Virginia. We lost, well, we didn't win the contest 39 00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:22,280 Speaker 3: for the governor's mansion. In New Jersey, we've got a 40 00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:25,840 Speaker 3: communist mayor of New York City Inbound Clay. 41 00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:27,400 Speaker 1: I am wearing Soviet. 42 00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:33,520 Speaker 3: Union red today in solidarity with Comrade Zoran. But the 43 00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:39,000 Speaker 3: political consensus the wisdom of the chattering class, whatever you 44 00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:42,440 Speaker 3: want to call it, was locked in correct. And everything 45 00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:45,760 Speaker 3: that we told you to be fair was also correct. 46 00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:46,560 Speaker 1: None of this. 47 00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:49,799 Speaker 3: I was hopeful that maybe we would steal something from 48 00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:52,120 Speaker 3: New Jersey, but we didn't. 49 00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:55,400 Speaker 1: So it was not a strong night. 50 00:02:55,440 --> 00:03:00,160 Speaker 3: Look, these are very tough races in very tough spaces 51 00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:03,440 Speaker 3: for not just a Republican but for sanity. 52 00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:04,960 Speaker 1: This is like the heart of darkness. 53 00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:07,639 Speaker 3: When you're talking about New York City, you're talking about 54 00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:10,080 Speaker 3: you know, the northern part of Virginia, which now dominates 55 00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:13,280 Speaker 3: the state. Clay I will say, and we're going to 56 00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:17,079 Speaker 3: get into the demographic data too here that also completely 57 00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:20,680 Speaker 3: aligned with what we thought. If you thought some group 58 00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:22,960 Speaker 3: was going to vote Mam Donnie, they did. By the way, 59 00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:25,520 Speaker 3: Mom Donnie got over ninety percent of the black vote, 60 00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:29,119 Speaker 3: something that was not talked about very much in advance 61 00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:34,399 Speaker 3: of the election. So that was the single strongest demographic 62 00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:40,840 Speaker 3: for Mom Donnie. But there are many, you know, young women, millennials, Hispanics, Asians. 63 00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:43,800 Speaker 3: There's all these breakdowns of the data we'll see, Clay, 64 00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:47,480 Speaker 3: I think that at the biggest level, at the thirty 65 00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:53,280 Speaker 3: thousand foot view, this is a reminder that economics is 66 00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:57,880 Speaker 3: still the dominant political issue in America. Wherever you are, 67 00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:01,640 Speaker 3: people are worried about price, They're worried about cost of living. 68 00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:05,080 Speaker 3: They're worried about their future and their children's future, or 69 00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:07,960 Speaker 3: even their ability to have children because of the future 70 00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:11,640 Speaker 3: that they see, and the political party that addresses that 71 00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:18,719 Speaker 3: with more a plum, not just more accuracy. Zoran was 72 00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:21,560 Speaker 3: more fun than the other guys. Yeah, he's a communist, 73 00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:23,320 Speaker 3: He's gonna ruin New York. We all get that, right, 74 00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:26,799 Speaker 3: But Clay who was more entertaining, who was more engaging, 75 00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:28,200 Speaker 3: who seemed like he wanted it more? 76 00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:30,719 Speaker 1: It's not even close. Cuomo barely showed up. 77 00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:35,800 Speaker 2: New York City's in trouble with Mom Donnie, but they 78 00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:39,560 Speaker 2: voted for him for sure. The turnout was huge. Here's 79 00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:41,840 Speaker 2: what I would say about Virginia and New Jersey, and 80 00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:44,280 Speaker 2: I think this is where not only do we look 81 00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:46,480 Speaker 2: at the results, but we have to spin it forward 82 00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:49,960 Speaker 2: and we have to do it honestly. Trump got more 83 00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:55,120 Speaker 2: votes in New Jersey and in Virginia last year than 84 00:04:55,320 --> 00:05:00,640 Speaker 2: either of the winning candidates did Mickey, Cheryl or spam Berger. Okay, 85 00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:04,040 Speaker 2: why do I say that? Yes, it was a presidential election. Yes, 86 00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:06,800 Speaker 2: it's an off year election, but that always happens. In 87 00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:12,080 Speaker 2: New Jersey in Virginia, six hundred thousand Trump voters, Buck 88 00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:16,880 Speaker 2: did not show up and vote in both New Jersey 89 00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:23,520 Speaker 2: and in Virginia. Six hundred thousand. Some of you are 90 00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:26,800 Speaker 2: listening to us right now, and you didn't go vote, 91 00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:29,520 Speaker 2: even though we change you to go vote. Okay, shame. 92 00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:34,440 Speaker 2: What does that mean going forward? The people Buck who 93 00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:39,160 Speaker 2: hate Trump, they show up, their brains are broken. They 94 00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:42,080 Speaker 2: will show up at a school board vote because they 95 00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:46,560 Speaker 2: hate Trump. The people who love Trump, they don't show 96 00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:49,960 Speaker 2: up when Trump's not on the ballot. And so that 97 00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:54,600 Speaker 2: is ominous for twenty twenty six, and candidly it's ominous 98 00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:57,760 Speaker 2: for twenty twenty eight, which is why I have told 99 00:05:57,839 --> 00:06:03,160 Speaker 2: you the pivot is coming very soon to Trump's voters 100 00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:06,240 Speaker 2: won't show up in twenty eight. And they're gonna say 101 00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:09,760 Speaker 2: Trump's voters won't show up in twenty six. And that 102 00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:12,839 Speaker 2: is to me, the biggest, most impactful thing about what 103 00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:17,440 Speaker 2: happened last night. Six hundred thousand people less showed up 104 00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:22,040 Speaker 2: in New Jersey and Virginia. It wasn't that somehow these 105 00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:25,000 Speaker 2: Democrats won and turned out unbelievable numbers. 106 00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:27,280 Speaker 1: The numbers in New York City were unbelievable, and they 107 00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:27,599 Speaker 1: were good. 108 00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:29,520 Speaker 3: I mean, they actually did do a good job of turnout, 109 00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:32,200 Speaker 3: I think in New York particularly, but in New York City. 110 00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:34,320 Speaker 2: But that's why I said, it's two different takes. New 111 00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:37,559 Speaker 2: York City, they said, we want Commie Mom, Donnie, he's 112 00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:40,599 Speaker 2: our guy. We are excited to go to the polls 113 00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:43,600 Speaker 2: and make this guy the next mayor. You said, it's 114 00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:45,440 Speaker 2: because he's exciting. I mean, I think that he ran. 115 00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:47,400 Speaker 2: I think you got to give him credit. A great 116 00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:52,280 Speaker 2: campaign and he delivered based on an awful, awful pitch 117 00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:55,840 Speaker 2: reality wise, But in New Jersey and Virginia, the biggest 118 00:06:55,839 --> 00:06:57,800 Speaker 2: story to me is Trump's people didn't show up. 119 00:06:58,320 --> 00:07:03,839 Speaker 3: There is a fundamental reality that the GOP is going 120 00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:05,960 Speaker 3: to have to address. Look, this is an off year election. 121 00:07:06,640 --> 00:07:10,320 Speaker 3: This was Democrat home turf really across the board. I mean, 122 00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:11,160 Speaker 3: Virginia is. 123 00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:12,880 Speaker 1: A purple blue state. 124 00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:16,840 Speaker 3: I know we had that that nice, that nice off 125 00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:20,400 Speaker 3: year win before with youngkin win. Some Seieres seems like 126 00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:24,320 Speaker 3: a wonderful lady and a just a very good person. 127 00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:30,480 Speaker 3: A completely unmemorable campaign, not to be mean. I think 128 00:07:30,520 --> 00:07:33,840 Speaker 3: she's very impressive and I obviously would have voted for 129 00:07:33,880 --> 00:07:36,200 Speaker 3: her to live in Virginia, but just not a campaigner. 130 00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:38,160 Speaker 3: You know, you can be a good leader, you can 131 00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:41,920 Speaker 3: be a good decider, but not really a campaigner. Zorn 132 00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:45,600 Speaker 3: is kind of funny, Clay, He's the opposite. Zoran created 133 00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:50,760 Speaker 3: a show. Zorn remembered the lessons of Saul Alinsky. Go 134 00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:54,400 Speaker 3: back and read Rules for Radicals. Everybody Alyinsky there was. 135 00:07:54,640 --> 00:07:57,160 Speaker 3: There is an evil brilliance to so much that is 136 00:07:57,200 --> 00:07:59,679 Speaker 3: in that book. One of the things is make it fun, 137 00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:04,360 Speaker 3: Make it an activity. Make activism something people want to 138 00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:07,880 Speaker 3: show up to because they'll feel cool and they'll laugh 139 00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:11,560 Speaker 3: and they'll be with their friends. And Zoran manage to 140 00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:16,160 Speaker 3: do that. Now Trump has had that same effect on 141 00:08:16,200 --> 00:08:20,360 Speaker 3: the right. Trump is both a political and a cultural phenomenon. 142 00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:23,960 Speaker 3: People show up with their MAGA hats, People show up 143 00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:27,360 Speaker 3: feeling like they are part of something. The big question 144 00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:29,960 Speaker 3: for twenty eight, more so even than twenty six, I 145 00:08:29,960 --> 00:08:36,160 Speaker 3: think Clay, is how does the MAGA movement coalesce around 146 00:08:36,280 --> 00:08:38,480 Speaker 3: an air apparent? How does Trump play into that? And 147 00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:40,439 Speaker 3: this is gonna be something we talk a lot about 148 00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:43,800 Speaker 3: in the next year. But in the meantime, the economy, 149 00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:48,280 Speaker 3: and that means healthcare, that means inflation, the cost of rent, 150 00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:51,720 Speaker 3: the cost of groceries, the cost of everything. You gotta 151 00:08:51,760 --> 00:08:54,959 Speaker 3: have messaging on this everyone or else, the commedies will 152 00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:55,600 Speaker 3: be in charge. 153 00:08:56,160 --> 00:08:59,040 Speaker 2: Here is a funny tweet on this, because we are 154 00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:01,480 Speaker 2: going to try to have some hue because sometimes you 155 00:09:01,520 --> 00:09:04,240 Speaker 2: get your ask, you have to have a little bit 156 00:09:04,280 --> 00:09:05,679 Speaker 2: of you have to have a little bit of black 157 00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:07,760 Speaker 2: sense of humor, right, a dark sense of humor. 158 00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:09,760 Speaker 1: I told my parents, just make sure that go bags 159 00:09:09,760 --> 00:09:11,520 Speaker 1: are by the front door. I'm here in Florida. If 160 00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:13,360 Speaker 1: you flee, you know where to go. They're fine. 161 00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:16,480 Speaker 2: Brad Chadlington, I don't know who he is, but I 162 00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:19,560 Speaker 2: saw this and I thought it was so funny. The richest, whitest, 163 00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:23,560 Speaker 2: most sheltered girl you know, from the wealthiest suburb in 164 00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:27,080 Speaker 2: the country is posting a picture of zorn mom Donnie 165 00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:30,600 Speaker 2: on her story right now, captioned power to the people 166 00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:34,760 Speaker 2: from her soho apartment that's paid for by her wealthy 167 00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:39,880 Speaker 2: conservative father. There is a lot of truth to this, 168 00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:45,079 Speaker 2: because the more recently you arrived in New York City, 169 00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:47,400 Speaker 2: I saw a breakdown based on length of time that 170 00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:50,240 Speaker 2: people have lived in New York City, the more likely 171 00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:54,120 Speaker 2: you were to vote for Mom Donnie overwhelming majority. 172 00:09:54,160 --> 00:09:55,520 Speaker 1: I think it was eighty two percent. 173 00:09:55,640 --> 00:09:58,040 Speaker 2: I saw of people that have gotten to New York 174 00:09:58,080 --> 00:09:59,200 Speaker 2: City in the last decade. 175 00:09:59,240 --> 00:09:59,400 Speaker 1: Now. 176 00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:02,440 Speaker 2: A lot of those or immigrants, right, which is a 177 00:10:02,440 --> 00:10:04,880 Speaker 2: whole big discussion in general. But a lot of those 178 00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:08,079 Speaker 2: people are actually just young college kids like the girl 179 00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:09,720 Speaker 2: probably that I just described. 180 00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:12,839 Speaker 3: Well, we all we got to slow immigration down in general. 181 00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:15,400 Speaker 3: There's another conversation that ever needs to have. If you 182 00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:20,040 Speaker 3: have the largest city in America with being largely determined 183 00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:22,080 Speaker 3: its future being determined by people who have been in 184 00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:26,000 Speaker 3: America for only a couple of years, that's that's a problem. 185 00:10:26,520 --> 00:10:29,000 Speaker 3: That's actually not what you want. No other country would 186 00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:31,960 Speaker 3: allow that. Yeah, I know the worst. We've been brainwashed 187 00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:34,000 Speaker 3: to believe, but that's all you know. If you just 188 00:10:34,040 --> 00:10:36,040 Speaker 3: came across the border, even if you're illegal, you're as 189 00:10:36,040 --> 00:10:38,200 Speaker 3: American as everybody who's ever been here, and even if 190 00:10:38,240 --> 00:10:41,839 Speaker 3: for families been here for generations, that is not true. Uh, 191 00:10:41,880 --> 00:10:45,120 Speaker 3: And we have to have a discussion about that as well. 192 00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:47,560 Speaker 3: We're good, We've had a lot of immigration you know, 193 00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:49,440 Speaker 3: we've had a lot of legal immigration, a lot of 194 00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:52,480 Speaker 3: illegal immigration. It's time to it's time to tighten up 195 00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:54,560 Speaker 3: some of these numbers a little bit and let assimilation 196 00:10:54,880 --> 00:10:59,079 Speaker 3: and Americanism and Americanizing take place for everybody. It can't 197 00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:01,920 Speaker 3: just be this wide open door and you get people 198 00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:04,120 Speaker 3: coming here from all over the world who are saying, 199 00:11:04,120 --> 00:11:05,480 Speaker 3: you know what, I want, communism. 200 00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:06,720 Speaker 1: That's not good. 201 00:11:06,960 --> 00:11:08,520 Speaker 3: That's not going to help us very much here by 202 00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:10,640 Speaker 3: the country went through this before the city of Chicago, 203 00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:13,680 Speaker 3: in particular Clay right around the turn of the twentieth century. 204 00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:16,320 Speaker 3: There are all kinds of commedis and socialists and anarchists 205 00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:18,360 Speaker 3: who were showing up and it was a real concern then. 206 00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:22,760 Speaker 2: The biggest issue I would say with illegal immigration and 207 00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:27,240 Speaker 2: immigration now is back in the day when we had 208 00:11:27,440 --> 00:11:29,200 Speaker 2: you know where I am right now in New York City, 209 00:11:29,280 --> 00:11:34,679 Speaker 2: huge Irish populations, huge Italian populations, huge numbers of immigrants. 210 00:11:35,200 --> 00:11:38,839 Speaker 2: A lot of them still came from a Western civilization 211 00:11:39,040 --> 00:11:45,040 Speaker 2: culture that recognized that Western civilization. And yes, Christianity, although 212 00:11:45,040 --> 00:11:47,240 Speaker 2: it might have been Catholic. Remember the big battle there 213 00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:49,000 Speaker 2: was between Protestants and Catholics. 214 00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:49,760 Speaker 1: There was a. 215 00:11:49,880 --> 00:11:55,160 Speaker 2: Common floor of agreement on some level. A lot of 216 00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:59,840 Speaker 2: people coming now, which is certainly incredibly ironic. Are our 217 00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:04,400 Speaker 2: youing America is an awful place. Oh oh, and America's 218 00:12:04,520 --> 00:12:05,840 Speaker 2: history is awful. 219 00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:08,400 Speaker 3: And this will I think it's even worse Clay, because 220 00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:13,120 Speaker 3: there's also this is a spoils system that people now arrive. 221 00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:15,280 Speaker 3: And you see this in Minneapolis, and you see this 222 00:12:15,320 --> 00:12:17,079 Speaker 3: in New York, and you see this in cities where 223 00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:24,720 Speaker 3: there is a particularly increasingly obvious tribal, newly arrived political attitude. Yes, 224 00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:27,120 Speaker 3: like I have arrived. I'm going to vote as a 225 00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:32,080 Speaker 3: voting block to dispossess the natives, the ones who have 226 00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:34,120 Speaker 3: been here. And by the way, to be very clear, 227 00:12:34,360 --> 00:12:37,400 Speaker 3: that's all Americans. That's white, Black, Asian, Latino. But it's 228 00:12:37,400 --> 00:12:39,240 Speaker 3: people that were born here, people that were raised here, 229 00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:42,080 Speaker 3: people that are American. There's now the new arrivals that 230 00:12:42,160 --> 00:12:44,439 Speaker 3: are saying, why do I even have to Why don't 231 00:12:44,440 --> 00:12:46,199 Speaker 3: I even have to conform? I don't have to learn 232 00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:48,560 Speaker 3: English even or do any of this stuff. I'm just 233 00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:51,320 Speaker 3: going to stay with my voting block here, do you see. 234 00:12:51,679 --> 00:12:52,920 Speaker 3: By the way, if you want to look at a 235 00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:58,280 Speaker 3: version of this, Sweden, the Netherlands, They've got big problems 236 00:12:58,360 --> 00:13:00,160 Speaker 3: because people show up and they say, I just want 237 00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:03,280 Speaker 3: the welfare state, and I'm going to have nothing to 238 00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:05,800 Speaker 3: do with your culture and your society. Now, look, there's 239 00:13:05,800 --> 00:13:08,320 Speaker 3: a very complicated, broad discussion with a lot of things 240 00:13:08,360 --> 00:13:11,080 Speaker 3: going on, but in New York it is very stark. 241 00:13:12,640 --> 00:13:16,200 Speaker 3: People who are college educated and young who have been brainwashed. 242 00:13:16,280 --> 00:13:17,960 Speaker 3: I will just say it, they have been brainwashed. 243 00:13:17,960 --> 00:13:18,520 Speaker 1: They do not know. 244 00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:23,200 Speaker 3: The other problem on this, though, is they are getting 245 00:13:23,840 --> 00:13:27,720 Speaker 3: screwed by not having assets because of the inflationary policies 246 00:13:28,080 --> 00:13:31,400 Speaker 3: of both Democrats and Republicans and the way that we've 247 00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:35,800 Speaker 3: created a system that unfortunately is intergenerational theft. No one 248 00:13:35,800 --> 00:13:38,480 Speaker 3: wants to hear that, but it's true. Thirty seven trillion 249 00:13:38,520 --> 00:13:40,880 Speaker 3: dollars of debt. This is a problem. We do actually 250 00:13:40,920 --> 00:13:43,280 Speaker 3: have to deal with this. So there's a lot a 251 00:13:43,320 --> 00:13:44,960 Speaker 3: lot of lessons I think you can take from this, 252 00:13:45,840 --> 00:13:48,440 Speaker 3: but there's nothing dire here. It's an off year election. 253 00:13:48,920 --> 00:13:50,920 Speaker 3: We expected all these results, Clay. 254 00:13:51,160 --> 00:13:54,640 Speaker 2: We told people that these results were coming, and a 255 00:13:54,679 --> 00:13:56,480 Speaker 2: lot of people out there said. 256 00:13:56,480 --> 00:13:57,600 Speaker 1: I don't believe the polls. 257 00:13:57,679 --> 00:14:01,840 Speaker 2: Remember Hillary Clay, You're the reason Slee was gonna win. 258 00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:04,160 Speaker 2: When I said, okay, I'll wear a beret for like 259 00:14:04,280 --> 00:14:07,319 Speaker 2: he got seven and a half percent of the vote, Yes, 260 00:14:07,400 --> 00:14:08,480 Speaker 2: seven and a half percent of vote. 261 00:14:08,520 --> 00:14:09,760 Speaker 3: I think I could have gotten seven and a half 262 00:14:09,760 --> 00:14:12,520 Speaker 3: percent of the vote, honestly, I mean, you know, I think. 263 00:14:12,440 --> 00:14:13,920 Speaker 1: You would have gotten more than seven and a half 264 00:14:13,920 --> 00:14:14,680 Speaker 1: percent of the vote. 265 00:14:14,880 --> 00:14:17,400 Speaker 3: So, you know, a native son of New York formerly 266 00:14:17,400 --> 00:14:19,760 Speaker 3: of the NYPD's got some got decent hair. 267 00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:21,200 Speaker 1: No beret, but decent hair. 268 00:14:21,640 --> 00:14:21,760 Speaker 4: Uh. 269 00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:23,600 Speaker 2: Yeah, it was not a good showing for sleeve. Well 270 00:14:23,680 --> 00:14:25,680 Speaker 2: you fled the city just in time.

And uh, this 334 00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:28,080 Speaker 3: is the situation as we see it. 335 00:17:29,760 --> 00:17:30,680 Speaker 1: In New Jersey. 336 00:17:31,560 --> 00:17:35,760 Speaker 3: It was a close call, but there they ran two female, 337 00:17:36,359 --> 00:17:40,320 Speaker 3: very establishment candidates in New for Democrats in New Jersey 338 00:17:40,359 --> 00:17:43,199 Speaker 3: and in Virginia. And let's just say it, it was a 339 00:17:43,240 --> 00:17:48,920 Speaker 3: smart play for them. Women are the constituency of the 340 00:17:48,920 --> 00:17:53,520 Speaker 3: Democrat I should say, particularly young and unmarried women are 341 00:17:53,600 --> 00:17:58,119 Speaker 3: a primary constituency of the Democrat Party right now. And 342 00:17:58,400 --> 00:18:00,959 Speaker 3: they ran against Trump Clay in these states. Isn't that 343 00:18:01,320 --> 00:18:03,439 Speaker 3: It's so interesting. You get to run to be the governor. 344 00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:08,159 Speaker 3: Here's Mikey Cheryl. You get to run to be the 345 00:18:08,200 --> 00:18:12,120 Speaker 3: governor of New Jersey. But instead of having to explain 346 00:18:12,240 --> 00:18:18,600 Speaker 3: why Democrats run New Jersey so poorly, instead of that 347 00:18:19,880 --> 00:18:24,679 Speaker 3: they have oh we have no kings here, and that 348 00:18:24,720 --> 00:18:28,040 Speaker 3: gets their base all fired up, like this is looney 349 00:18:28,040 --> 00:18:29,359 Speaker 3: tone stuff Play seventeen. 350 00:18:29,520 --> 00:18:32,240 Speaker 4: We're not going to give in to our darker impulses 351 00:18:32,840 --> 00:18:36,680 Speaker 4: here in New Jersey. We know that this station has 352 00:18:36,760 --> 00:18:43,919 Speaker 4: not ever been, nor will it ever be, ruled by kings. 353 00:18:45,160 --> 00:18:48,520 Speaker 4: We take oaths to a constitution, not a king. We've 354 00:18:48,640 --> 00:18:52,480 Speaker 4: chosen liberty, the very foundation of democracy, and we've chosen 355 00:18:52,520 --> 00:18:57,680 Speaker 4: prosperity necessary to create opportunity for all. 356 00:18:57,880 --> 00:19:01,400 Speaker 3: Okay, idea here, theory, theory here, I'm gonna float something 357 00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:04,400 Speaker 3: out to you. So the Trump is a Nazi thing 358 00:19:05,200 --> 00:19:08,320 Speaker 3: has been they They have beaten that dead horse so much. 359 00:19:08,320 --> 00:19:12,280 Speaker 3: I mean, they have pushed that so much. And yet Trump, 360 00:19:12,440 --> 00:19:15,840 Speaker 3: as we know, close ally of Israel. By the way, 361 00:19:15,880 --> 00:19:17,360 Speaker 3: despite a lot of the noise on the right these 362 00:19:17,440 --> 00:19:20,280 Speaker 3: days about Israel and Jews in America and everything, Trump 363 00:19:20,320 --> 00:19:23,199 Speaker 3: is the closest friend that Israel has ever had. I 364 00:19:23,280 --> 00:19:24,919 Speaker 3: noticed that some of these voices on the right that 365 00:19:24,960 --> 00:19:29,320 Speaker 3: are critical of the APAK and Israel and everything not 366 00:19:29,359 --> 00:19:32,360 Speaker 3: critical of Trump. Though very interesting how that happens. But anyway, 367 00:19:32,600 --> 00:19:36,000 Speaker 3: Trump is a close friend of Israel, and so they 368 00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:39,200 Speaker 3: have to drop that, is it now? If you're an 369 00:19:39,240 --> 00:19:44,000 Speaker 3: emotionally unstable lib are you really going with the fighting 370 00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:45,720 Speaker 3: Trump is fighting monarchy thing? 371 00:19:46,080 --> 00:19:48,200 Speaker 1: Is this what the switch is? Now? They've gone from 372 00:19:48,280 --> 00:19:49,679 Speaker 1: Nazis to King Trump. 373 00:19:50,720 --> 00:19:56,080 Speaker 2: They just have to convince their base that Trump is 374 00:19:56,840 --> 00:20:01,840 Speaker 2: a Nazi to such an extent that they will show up. 375 00:20:02,119 --> 00:20:03,800 Speaker 2: And I mean to me, Buck, I looked at the 376 00:20:03,880 --> 00:20:06,600 Speaker 2: numbers this morning. That's the first thing that I did. 377 00:20:07,400 --> 00:20:10,560 Speaker 2: Trump's base doesn't show up when Trump's not on the ballot. 378 00:20:11,040 --> 00:20:13,639 Speaker 2: Remember Obama's base didn't show up when Obama was not 379 00:20:13,680 --> 00:20:16,240 Speaker 2: on the base on the ballot. I think there are 380 00:20:16,320 --> 00:20:21,600 Speaker 2: some very popular with the base politicians that have a 381 00:20:21,720 --> 00:20:27,040 Speaker 2: certain amount of personal magnetism that doesn't translate beyond them. 382 00:20:27,520 --> 00:20:30,080 Speaker 2: I mean again, I look at it. Six hundred thousand 383 00:20:30,160 --> 00:20:33,960 Speaker 2: fewer people showed up to vote Republican in New Jersey 384 00:20:34,040 --> 00:20:37,520 Speaker 2: and in Virginia. Yes, look, Democrats, their voters showed up. 385 00:20:37,520 --> 00:20:40,280 Speaker 2: But Buck, I think to your point, it's because if 386 00:20:40,320 --> 00:20:43,600 Speaker 2: you hate Trump, you are way more likely to show 387 00:20:43,720 --> 00:20:47,040 Speaker 2: up than if you love Trump when Trump himself is 388 00:20:47,080 --> 00:20:50,960 Speaker 2: not on the ballot. Democrat, this is why logically the 389 00:20:51,040 --> 00:20:55,320 Speaker 2: Democrat go after Trump thing. It works in midterms. It 390 00:20:55,400 --> 00:20:57,720 Speaker 2: works when Trump's not on the ballot. I don't think 391 00:20:57,720 --> 00:20:59,840 Speaker 2: it works very well when Trump is on the ballot. 392 00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:02,560 Speaker 2: And so this is why I. 393 00:21:02,480 --> 00:21:05,320 Speaker 1: Think the preach just yeah, just for a second. The 394 00:21:05,440 --> 00:21:06,280 Speaker 1: resistance thing. 395 00:21:07,080 --> 00:21:09,960 Speaker 3: Look, it was a little over, a little overdrawn, a 396 00:21:09,960 --> 00:21:12,960 Speaker 3: little overwrought, you know, the whole thing. But there was 397 00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:15,760 Speaker 3: like Laisistons in France, and you know, there was like 398 00:21:15,800 --> 00:21:18,359 Speaker 3: some cool historical parallel and you can think of yourself 399 00:21:18,359 --> 00:21:22,119 Speaker 3: as some kind of revolutionary clay. No, Kings, it just 400 00:21:22,160 --> 00:21:24,800 Speaker 3: sound like a bunch of dorks. Honestly, it's not even 401 00:21:24,840 --> 00:21:28,480 Speaker 3: a it's yes, it's delusional and absurd, but also it's 402 00:21:28,920 --> 00:21:31,920 Speaker 3: it's like they're slipping usually they're Look, Black Lives Matter, 403 00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:34,520 Speaker 3: say what you will about what it has done, and 404 00:21:34,560 --> 00:21:38,720 Speaker 3: we've said a lot, right, it's been very bad. The slogan, 405 00:21:39,480 --> 00:21:44,840 Speaker 3: understanding the activist impulse, understanding the power of those words. 406 00:21:45,760 --> 00:21:50,840 Speaker 3: There was some marketing genius in the Black Lives Matter situation, right, 407 00:21:51,600 --> 00:21:53,879 Speaker 3: No Kings, it's lame. 408 00:21:54,119 --> 00:21:57,000 Speaker 2: It's just lame. This is what it's lame and weak. 409 00:21:57,119 --> 00:22:00,960 Speaker 2: It might work in the midterms, Ah, killing me with this. No, 410 00:22:01,119 --> 00:22:04,399 Speaker 2: I look, yes, it's a blue state, it's New Jersey. 411 00:22:04,440 --> 00:22:08,240 Speaker 2: It's Virginia. I am always of the opinion, and this 412 00:22:08,280 --> 00:22:10,160 Speaker 2: is the way that I think. Maybe I'm wrong on this. 413 00:22:10,880 --> 00:22:13,239 Speaker 2: If you lose, the first thing I want to do 414 00:22:13,359 --> 00:22:15,600 Speaker 2: is go back and look at what you did. This 415 00:22:15,600 --> 00:22:18,119 Speaker 2: is what I always tell my kids when I coach basketball, 416 00:22:18,119 --> 00:22:22,400 Speaker 2: when I coach football, when I coached baseball. Your opponent 417 00:22:22,520 --> 00:22:28,040 Speaker 2: being good is to a large extent beyond your control. 418 00:22:27,680 --> 00:22:31,000 Speaker 2: An opponent can play really well or really poorly. Now 419 00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:33,119 Speaker 2: you can make it more difficult. Like all those things. 420 00:22:33,440 --> 00:22:36,160 Speaker 2: What I always want to control is what I can control. 421 00:22:36,760 --> 00:22:39,800 Speaker 2: That's the number one rule I think of life. Honestly, 422 00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:44,639 Speaker 2: control what you can control. Six hundred thousand people in 423 00:22:44,680 --> 00:22:47,920 Speaker 2: New Jersey and in Virginia who voted for Trump last 424 00:22:47,960 --> 00:22:51,080 Speaker 2: year did not show up to vote in this twenty 425 00:22:51,160 --> 00:22:54,760 Speaker 2: twenty five election. Who were those? Who are those people? 426 00:22:55,280 --> 00:22:57,160 Speaker 2: Like I said, some of y'all are listening to right now. 427 00:22:57,920 --> 00:23:01,640 Speaker 2: So if they had, and these races would have either 428 00:23:01,640 --> 00:23:05,399 Speaker 2: been very very close or Republicans would have won. So 429 00:23:05,680 --> 00:23:11,720 Speaker 2: Republicans didn't lose because Democrats had better arguments. They lost 430 00:23:11,800 --> 00:23:14,960 Speaker 2: because the Democrat base was more willing to respond to 431 00:23:15,080 --> 00:23:18,119 Speaker 2: their argument than the Republican base was to respond to 432 00:23:18,920 --> 00:23:22,879 Speaker 2: Winsorciers and and to Chitaerelli. 433 00:23:23,119 --> 00:23:24,280 Speaker 1: The Mikey Sheryl thing. 434 00:23:25,359 --> 00:23:29,320 Speaker 3: That was, Uh, it was disappointing because I think that 435 00:23:29,400 --> 00:23:30,800 Speaker 3: Chitdarelli had a real chance. 436 00:23:31,760 --> 00:23:31,879 Speaker 6: Uh. 437 00:23:32,280 --> 00:23:38,040 Speaker 3: But then there's Spanberger and look, let's hear who is 438 00:23:39,200 --> 00:23:45,760 Speaker 3: who is such a a h an amorphous phony in 439 00:23:45,840 --> 00:23:49,000 Speaker 3: so many ways, you know, just talks and circles. Doesn't 440 00:23:49,040 --> 00:23:53,000 Speaker 3: take the she's going to govern like a radical leftist. 441 00:23:53,840 --> 00:23:56,160 Speaker 3: People who follow up politics and know anything about who 442 00:23:56,200 --> 00:24:00,680 Speaker 3: she is know that, but not enough to your point 443 00:24:00,680 --> 00:24:03,840 Speaker 3: about people not showing up, Virginians thought, oh, well, you 444 00:24:03,840 --> 00:24:06,520 Speaker 3: know it's govern or not not that, not all of them, 445 00:24:06,560 --> 00:24:10,439 Speaker 3: but obviously a fair number of Republicans in Virginia decided, 446 00:24:10,720 --> 00:24:12,920 Speaker 3: or don't just say Trump voters, not even just Republicans, 447 00:24:12,960 --> 00:24:15,600 Speaker 3: A fair number of Trump voters enough to deliver a 448 00:24:15,720 --> 00:24:17,320 Speaker 3: w for the Republicans said oh, I'm not going to 449 00:24:17,359 --> 00:24:17,760 Speaker 3: show up. 450 00:24:17,880 --> 00:24:20,400 Speaker 1: Here's what Spanberger says, Play twenty. 451 00:24:20,880 --> 00:24:29,200 Speaker 4: My fellow Virginians tonight we sent a message. We sent 452 00:24:29,400 --> 00:24:34,040 Speaker 4: a message to every corner of the Commonwealth, a message 453 00:24:34,440 --> 00:24:39,480 Speaker 4: to our neighbors and our fellow Americans across the country. 454 00:24:41,640 --> 00:24:45,200 Speaker 4: We sent a message to the whole world that in 455 00:24:45,400 --> 00:24:52,360 Speaker 4: twenty twenty five, Virginia chose pragmatism over partisanship. We chose 456 00:24:52,600 --> 00:24:55,119 Speaker 4: our commonwealth over chaos. 457 00:24:56,600 --> 00:25:00,919 Speaker 1: What does that even mean, Clay, pragmatism over partisan ship. 458 00:25:01,119 --> 00:25:03,959 Speaker 1: You ran in a partisan election and you want dudes 459 00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:06,639 Speaker 1: in chicks' locker rooms pragmatism. 460 00:25:07,840 --> 00:25:13,040 Speaker 2: I just again, I think everybody has to prepare themselves 461 00:25:13,440 --> 00:25:16,879 Speaker 2: for as moronic as you believe it is to say 462 00:25:16,920 --> 00:25:21,080 Speaker 2: no Kings or Hitler or the base of any're right, 463 00:25:21,160 --> 00:25:24,840 Speaker 2: it is like these people are losers, they are morons. 464 00:25:24,960 --> 00:25:27,160 Speaker 2: I'm gonna just be honest with you. If you are 465 00:25:27,160 --> 00:25:29,840 Speaker 2: showing up at a No King's protest, I think you 466 00:25:29,960 --> 00:25:32,440 Speaker 2: are a huge loser who needs to get a life. 467 00:25:33,200 --> 00:25:34,960 Speaker 2: I don't think there's any other way to describe it. 468 00:25:35,400 --> 00:25:39,479 Speaker 2: But they have decided that their life's purpose Buck is 469 00:25:39,920 --> 00:25:43,080 Speaker 2: Trump is a king, Trump is Hitler, and so they're 470 00:25:43,119 --> 00:25:47,879 Speaker 2: gonna show up. So I think, for looking forward, what 471 00:25:48,200 --> 00:25:51,919 Speaker 2: has to happen in order for the coalition that showed 472 00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:55,119 Speaker 2: up for Trump in twenty twenty four to show up 473 00:25:55,200 --> 00:25:57,800 Speaker 2: again in twenty six and again in twenty eight. Those 474 00:25:57,840 --> 00:26:00,880 Speaker 2: are the questions that I think should be asked as 475 00:26:00,920 --> 00:26:02,320 Speaker 2: we get ready for the mid terms. 476 00:26:02,800 --> 00:26:06,680 Speaker 3: I think that this is something I addressed in my book, 477 00:26:06,680 --> 00:26:08,159 Speaker 3: which will be out in February.

It's not good. 490 00:26:36,440 --> 00:26:40,720 Speaker 2: So you end up voting for Mikey Cheryl or Avidannaberg 491 00:26:40,800 --> 00:26:43,640 Speaker 2: or Mom Donnie. If you don't have balls, you need balls, Yeah, 492 00:26:43,800 --> 00:26:44,800 Speaker 2: you need them. 493 00:26:44,960 --> 00:26:48,800 Speaker 1: I would say, though, the. 494 00:26:47,600 --> 00:26:52,320 Speaker 3: The Democrat Party now for the purposes of mobilization, and 495 00:26:52,359 --> 00:26:54,240 Speaker 3: this is why I was talking about the Nazi thing 496 00:26:54,359 --> 00:26:56,560 Speaker 3: for Trump and now the No King's thing and the 497 00:26:56,640 --> 00:27:01,800 Speaker 3: resistance and anti fascism. They have have to get people 498 00:27:02,359 --> 00:27:08,280 Speaker 3: on their side to believe in a fantasy in unreality. Yes, 499 00:27:08,400 --> 00:27:11,679 Speaker 3: they're not saying show up and vote for the Democrat 500 00:27:12,040 --> 00:27:17,160 Speaker 3: because we can get higher taxes on high earners and 501 00:27:17,480 --> 00:27:21,359 Speaker 3: we're going to have a more open borders policy where 502 00:27:21,359 --> 00:27:23,520 Speaker 3: anybody can claim asylum and they're not. 503 00:27:23,760 --> 00:27:26,359 Speaker 1: It's Trump is a king. Yeah. 504 00:27:26,440 --> 00:27:28,560 Speaker 3: Look, honestly, I think Trump being a king would be 505 00:27:28,640 --> 00:27:30,439 Speaker 3: kind of fun for a little while. But that's a 506 00:27:30,440 --> 00:27:32,960 Speaker 3: whole other that's a whole other conversation. That's a whole 507 00:27:32,960 --> 00:27:36,000 Speaker 3: other conversation. Point is he's not nowhere near a king, 508 00:27:36,080 --> 00:27:38,560 Speaker 3: all right, He's nowhere near a king. We all know this. 509 00:27:39,000 --> 00:27:43,679 Speaker 3: They are running against a delusion and it works, and 510 00:27:43,720 --> 00:27:45,360 Speaker 3: it works. Now that's the troubling part. 511 00:27:45,400 --> 00:27:45,800 Speaker 1: It works. 512 00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:47,840 Speaker 2: So that's why I look forward. I mean, look, the 513 00:27:47,840 --> 00:27:50,320 Speaker 2: reality is most of our lives and if you live 514 00:27:50,359 --> 00:27:52,520 Speaker 2: in Virginia or New Jersey, that can be different. Certainly, 515 00:27:52,520 --> 00:27:54,199 Speaker 2: if you live in New York City, that can be different. 516 00:27:54,480 --> 00:27:56,520 Speaker 2: But for the vast majority of people listening right now, 517 00:27:56,560 --> 00:27:58,800 Speaker 2: our lives are not going to change substantially based on 518 00:27:58,840 --> 00:28:02,600 Speaker 2: what happened last night. But in the midterms, the first 519 00:28:02,600 --> 00:28:04,480 Speaker 2: thing they're gonna do if they take back the House 520 00:28:04,520 --> 00:28:07,520 Speaker 2: is impeached Donald Trump, and they're just gonna throw themselves 521 00:28:07,640 --> 00:28:12,560 Speaker 2: athwart all of a governance and refuse to allow anything 522 00:28:12,600 --> 00:28:14,560 Speaker 2: at all to happen if they take back the House. 523 00:28:15,160 --> 00:28:18,800 Speaker 2: And obviously in twenty twenty eight, whomever is elected as 524 00:28:18,880 --> 00:28:22,120 Speaker 2: the next republic the president and certainly who the Republican 525 00:28:22,160 --> 00:28:24,360 Speaker 2: nominee is going to impact a lot of people out there. 526 00:28:24,400 --> 00:28:27,560 Speaker 2: So my point on all this is they're gonna look 527 00:28:27,600 --> 00:28:30,960 Speaker 2: at these results and they're gonna say, our base still 528 00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:34,280 Speaker 2: turns out against Trump, and so I would suspect that 529 00:28:34,320 --> 00:28:37,600 Speaker 2: will be their entire campaign next year, well the midterms. 530 00:28:37,760 --> 00:28:40,960 Speaker 2: That is absolutely the case. It is the midterms is 531 00:28:41,160 --> 00:28:44,720 Speaker 2: just a stop Trump election for them, and that may 532 00:28:44,720 --> 00:28:48,520 Speaker 2: be enough. Now we're gonna have to have people understand 533 00:28:48,600 --> 00:28:50,720 Speaker 2: if the Democrats even just take the House, never mind 534 00:28:50,720 --> 00:28:54,480 Speaker 2: the Senate, the Trump agenda's over correct. Effectively, it's dead 535 00:28:54,520 --> 00:28:57,280 Speaker 2: in the water. Legislatively, you may be able to get 536 00:28:57,320 --> 00:28:59,360 Speaker 2: some cool executive You might get really creative with some 537 00:28:59,400 --> 00:29:01,920 Speaker 2: executive wars. We should mention the Supreme Court is really 538 00:29:01,920 --> 00:29:04,760 Speaker 2: hearing whether he has the authority on tariffs. That happened 539 00:29:04,760 --> 00:29:06,680 Speaker 2: today too. It kind of got snowed under in the 540 00:29:06,720 --> 00:29:08,000 Speaker 2: election results. 541 00:29:08,240 --> 00:29:12,000 Speaker 3: So there's that that might be the most destructive Supreme 542 00:29:12,040 --> 00:29:15,480 Speaker 3: Court decision since they decided that you could tax inactivity 543 00:29:15,480 --> 00:29:17,880 Speaker 3: with Obamacare, which now we all see. I might add, 544 00:29:18,360 --> 00:29:20,120 Speaker 3: but do you see what the policies would be without 545 00:29:20,160 --> 00:29:24,400 Speaker 3: the subsidies for some family of four policies for healthcare 546 00:29:24,800 --> 00:29:29,480 Speaker 3: forty fifty grand a year forty fifty thousand dollars a 547 00:29:29,600 --> 00:29:34,280 Speaker 3: year for insurance, not for health care, for insurance, for 548 00:29:34,320 --> 00:29:39,360 Speaker 3: health care. This is what Obamacare half brought America madness. 549 00:29:39,720 --> 00:29:41,800 Speaker 3: Thank you, Supreme Court, Thank you John Roberts. 550 00:29:41,880 --> 00:29:45,560 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's totally broken, and the whole concept of paying 551 00:29:45,680 --> 00:29:52,240 Speaker 2: for insurance is predicated on I hate the insurance industry 552 00:29:52,240 --> 00:29:55,040 Speaker 2: in general. Apologies to all the insurance agents out there. 553 00:29:55,280 --> 00:29:57,360 Speaker 2: It's the only thing you're forced to buy that you 554 00:29:57,440 --> 00:30:00,960 Speaker 2: hope you never use in all seriousness, Like right, the 555 00:30:01,000 --> 00:30:03,720 Speaker 2: amount that you spend and I spend on car insurance 556 00:30:03,760 --> 00:30:06,920 Speaker 2: and health insurance and home insurance and everything else, and 557 00:30:06,960 --> 00:30:09,840 Speaker 2: the vast majority of people will never use it, which 558 00:30:09,880 --> 00:30:13,080 Speaker 2: is why the industry exists at all. It drives me insane. 559 00:30:13,160 --> 00:30:13,720 Speaker 1: I don't know why. 560 00:30:13,880 --> 00:30:15,840 Speaker 3: I know it's nowhere near groundhog Day, and now I'm 561 00:30:15,840 --> 00:30:19,440 Speaker 3: thinking of Ned Ryerson from groundhog Day. Remember the insurance 562 00:30:19,480 --> 00:30:21,720 Speaker 3: salesman that he meets on the street. That guy is 563 00:30:21,760 --> 00:30:24,880 Speaker 3: a character actor, does a great business. I don't begrudge 564 00:30:24,920 --> 00:30:27,360 Speaker 3: the insurance business. How many times can you get paid 565 00:30:27,400 --> 00:30:31,040 Speaker 3: for something that people never use? I mean, that's the 566 00:30:31,200 --> 00:30:35,120 Speaker 3: entire foundation of the insurance. But our medical system is 567 00:30:35,200 --> 00:30:39,719 Speaker 3: broken because there is no actual transparency on cost. If 568 00:30:39,760 --> 00:30:41,920 Speaker 3: I could change one thing and just wave a magic 569 00:30:41,960 --> 00:30:44,760 Speaker 3: wand it would be that everybody knows what insurance costs. 570 00:30:45,080 --> 00:30:47,720 Speaker 3: I mean, health is also an active We need to 571 00:30:47,760 --> 00:30:50,840 Speaker 3: think of health as an active process and not something 572 00:30:51,320 --> 00:30:52,760 Speaker 3: like where your car breaks down, you. 573 00:30:52,760 --> 00:30:53,480 Speaker 1: Go to get it fixed. 574 00:30:53,480 --> 00:30:56,560 Speaker 3: You actually have to be thinking about and taking care 575 00:30:56,680 --> 00:30:59,680 Speaker 3: of your health actively as you go. But that's a 576 00:30:59,800 --> 00:31:04,280 Speaker 3: that's a whole other conversation. So maybe RFK Junior can 577 00:31:04,280 --> 00:31:07,040 Speaker 3: come on the show we'll talk more about that. Preborn 578 00:31:07,680 --> 00:31:10,400 Speaker 3: is a fantastic organization and one that I'm honored to 579 00:31:10,440 --> 00:31:13,920 Speaker 3: partner with here on this show, and they have two goals. 580 00:31:14,120 --> 00:31:17,600 Speaker 3: The first is to save unborn babies from the tragedy 581 00:31:17,640 --> 00:31:20,360 Speaker 3: of abortion, and the second is to help pregnant women 582 00:31:20,640 --> 00:31:23,640 Speaker 3: carrying those unborn babies in helping them make the decision 583 00:31:23,680 --> 00:31:26,560 Speaker 3: for life and bringing their babies into this world. This 584 00:31:26,600 --> 00:31:29,640 Speaker 3: past year alone, Preborn saved the lives of sixty seven 585 00:31:29,840 --> 00:31:33,200 Speaker 3: thousand unborn children. When a woman walks into one of 586 00:31:33,200 --> 00:31:36,800 Speaker 3: Preborn's network clinics, she's welcomed with open arms. She's introduced 587 00:31:36,840 --> 00:31:39,840 Speaker 3: to her baby through an ultrasound, and for the first time, 588 00:31:39,920 --> 00:31:42,760 Speaker 3: she sees life not lost, and she has offered hope 589 00:31:42,840 --> 00:31:47,000 Speaker 3: filled choices. When she chooses life, Preborn continues walking with 590 00:31:47,040 --> 00:31:49,840 Speaker 3: her for up to two years after the baby's born, 591 00:31:50,040 --> 00:31:53,440 Speaker 3: providing maternity clothes, diapers, counseling, so much more. They are 592 00:31:53,520 --> 00:31:57,440 Speaker 3: there to help. When she chooses life, Preborn continues walking 593 00:31:57,440 --> 00:31:59,280 Speaker 3: with her for up to two years. I'm sorry, I 594 00:31:59,320 --> 00:32:01,800 Speaker 3: just said that. As you think about your year ending 595 00:32:02,120 --> 00:32:07,040 Speaker 3: gift for charitable purposes, consider the greatest investment you could make, 596 00:32:07,080 --> 00:32:10,680 Speaker 3: the gift of life.

Appreciate all 605 00:32:41,080 --> 00:32:43,840 Speaker 2: of you hanging out with us as we are rolling 606 00:32:43,920 --> 00:32:47,160 Speaker 2: through the second hour of the program reacting to the 607 00:32:47,200 --> 00:32:52,200 Speaker 2: election results in Virginia, in New Jersey, and in New 608 00:32:52,320 --> 00:32:54,000 Speaker 2: York City. And we had a caller as we went 609 00:32:54,080 --> 00:32:57,680 Speaker 2: to break there Buck talking about the Jay Jones situation. 610 00:32:57,960 --> 00:33:02,720 Speaker 2: He was the canon it for Attorney General in Virginia, 611 00:33:03,080 --> 00:33:06,680 Speaker 2: who it was revealed, had said awful things about his 612 00:33:06,760 --> 00:33:10,440 Speaker 2: political opponents, that he wanted his kids to die, the 613 00:33:10,480 --> 00:33:13,480 Speaker 2: political opponents of his kids, that he would piss on 614 00:33:13,680 --> 00:33:19,640 Speaker 2: their graves. And he won, and he won fifty three 615 00:33:19,840 --> 00:33:25,240 Speaker 2: basically to forty seven. And I believe we have the 616 00:33:25,320 --> 00:33:27,000 Speaker 2: data here. I was going to play it for us, 617 00:33:27,000 --> 00:33:32,160 Speaker 2: but cut twenty two, just forty six percent of Virginia 618 00:33:32,280 --> 00:33:35,920 Speaker 2: voters thought saying that you wanted your kid, the kids 619 00:33:35,960 --> 00:33:39,200 Speaker 2: of your political opponents to be killed and you would 620 00:33:39,200 --> 00:33:44,000 Speaker 2: piss on their graves if it happened, was disqualifying. Saunder 621 00:33:44,040 --> 00:33:45,560 Speaker 2: Smith Fox News twenty two. 622 00:33:45,960 --> 00:33:47,920 Speaker 7: If you look at some of the some of the 623 00:33:48,000 --> 00:33:51,360 Speaker 7: questions over the j Jones texts and that scandal from 624 00:33:51,360 --> 00:33:53,560 Speaker 7: text back to twenty twenty two and how this is 625 00:33:53,600 --> 00:33:54,080 Speaker 7: affecting the. 626 00:33:54,040 --> 00:33:55,120 Speaker 1: Attorney general's race. 627 00:33:55,160 --> 00:33:59,080 Speaker 7: There possibility of a split ticket. We asked voters what 628 00:33:59,200 --> 00:34:03,960 Speaker 7: best described their opinion of those leaked techs. Almost has 629 00:34:04,280 --> 00:34:07,400 Speaker 7: found them to be disqualifying. About one in four so 630 00:34:07,520 --> 00:34:10,239 Speaker 7: they were concerning, But then another one and four said 631 00:34:10,440 --> 00:34:13,040 Speaker 7: they weren't concerned or they hadn't heard. 632 00:34:12,920 --> 00:34:13,640 Speaker 1: Enough about it. 633 00:34:15,200 --> 00:34:19,040 Speaker 2: So buck to me, this is the worst part of 634 00:34:19,120 --> 00:34:23,319 Speaker 2: the election results because I'm not surprised. We talked about 635 00:34:23,360 --> 00:34:26,520 Speaker 2: the fact that New Jersey is a blue state, it 636 00:34:26,520 --> 00:34:29,640 Speaker 2: occasionally elects Republicans, most of the time it does not, 637 00:34:30,560 --> 00:34:33,240 Speaker 2: and so the fact that Cheryl won not a huge surprise. 638 00:34:33,360 --> 00:34:37,520 Speaker 2: The fact that Virginia flipped back Virginia almost always the 639 00:34:37,560 --> 00:34:41,560 Speaker 2: winning party is the opposition to who the president is. 640 00:34:43,280 --> 00:34:46,880 Speaker 2: But this thing, I thought that Jason Miarz, who we 641 00:34:46,960 --> 00:34:50,360 Speaker 2: had on the program, I thought he would win because 642 00:34:50,520 --> 00:34:53,920 Speaker 2: if you're the chief law enforcement officer of a state, 643 00:34:54,600 --> 00:34:57,839 Speaker 2: I'm not sure exactly what the standard on behavior should be, 644 00:34:58,280 --> 00:35:02,080 Speaker 2: but wishing that you're the kids of your political opponents 645 00:35:02,160 --> 00:35:05,200 Speaker 2: were murdered, and that if it happened, you would piss 646 00:35:05,200 --> 00:35:07,920 Speaker 2: on their graves and Matt having been written out I 647 00:35:08,080 --> 00:35:11,200 Speaker 2: being in text, it would be disqualifying to me. I'd 648 00:35:11,239 --> 00:35:12,880 Speaker 2: be like, I don't know that I can trust the 649 00:35:13,000 --> 00:35:16,200 Speaker 2: judgment of this guy. Virginia didn't care. 650 00:35:17,840 --> 00:35:19,120 Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that. 651 00:35:20,719 --> 00:35:27,080 Speaker 3: Look, this is disconcerting because you also would like to think. 652 00:35:27,680 --> 00:35:29,480 Speaker 3: I mean, I don't want to get too deep into this, 653 00:35:30,480 --> 00:35:34,520 Speaker 3: but the country's been through a lot. The country's been 654 00:35:34,520 --> 00:35:37,520 Speaker 3: through a lot of stuff that we would never want 655 00:35:37,560 --> 00:35:42,840 Speaker 3: to see again, and so I would hope that the 656 00:35:42,960 --> 00:35:46,560 Speaker 3: general electorate. I'm not talking about lunatics on Blue Sky 657 00:35:46,719 --> 00:35:50,960 Speaker 3: or Blue Star or whatever, you know, the left wing Twitter. 658 00:35:51,880 --> 00:35:56,000 Speaker 3: I would hope that normal Americans would really have a 659 00:35:56,040 --> 00:36:00,200 Speaker 3: problem with the kind of stuff that this guy, who 660 00:36:00,280 --> 00:36:03,719 Speaker 3: is supposed to be a senior law enforcement officer, yes, 661 00:36:04,480 --> 00:36:09,239 Speaker 3: was saying. And the fact that they don't have a 662 00:36:09,280 --> 00:36:13,160 Speaker 3: problem with it at all is important for everyone to 663 00:36:13,320 --> 00:36:17,120 Speaker 3: understand the mentality and what we're opposing here and what 664 00:36:17,160 --> 00:36:21,440 Speaker 3: we're dealing with. That's where this is. You need to 665 00:36:21,520 --> 00:36:25,799 Speaker 3: recognize that while they're claiming no kings, and while they're 666 00:36:25,840 --> 00:36:28,880 Speaker 3: saying Trump is so coarse and Trump is so awful, 667 00:36:29,920 --> 00:36:33,320 Speaker 3: on the other side of things, on the other side 668 00:36:33,360 --> 00:36:39,080 Speaker 3: of things, they will allow someone to become a senior 669 00:36:39,160 --> 00:36:44,040 Speaker 3: law enforcement officer who does this right, so they don't 670 00:36:44,080 --> 00:36:45,360 Speaker 3: actually have any standards. 671 00:36:45,360 --> 00:36:47,760 Speaker 1: Play is the reality. There's not any. 672 00:36:47,600 --> 00:36:52,480 Speaker 3: Moral or ethical clarity. It's we want what we want. 673 00:36:52,640 --> 00:36:55,839 Speaker 3: We support our team no matter what, and we're going 674 00:36:55,880 --> 00:36:57,759 Speaker 3: to say whatever we want about your team, no or 675 00:36:57,840 --> 00:37:02,600 Speaker 3: how absurd, crazy, defamatory, or destructive it is. And we're 676 00:37:02,640 --> 00:37:05,000 Speaker 3: only going to talk about tamping down political violence when 677 00:37:05,040 --> 00:37:07,400 Speaker 3: our side, the left, actually does it, which as we know, 678 00:37:07,480 --> 00:37:09,200 Speaker 3: the left is the one that has the problem with 679 00:37:09,320 --> 00:37:12,560 Speaker 3: political violence. That is reality. They're only going to say 680 00:37:12,560 --> 00:37:15,360 Speaker 3: maybe we should calm both sides down after their side 681 00:37:15,360 --> 00:37:19,600 Speaker 3: does something horrible, and they take no ownership for the climate, 682 00:37:19,680 --> 00:37:21,360 Speaker 3: the temperature, any of that stuff. 683 00:37:22,920 --> 00:37:25,840 Speaker 2: And it speaks to the fact that all that mattered 684 00:37:26,520 --> 00:37:29,719 Speaker 2: was that Jay Jones was a Democrat. And I mean, 685 00:37:29,760 --> 00:37:31,719 Speaker 2: this makes me like kind of want to puke a 686 00:37:31,760 --> 00:37:33,800 Speaker 2: little bit. But what do you think j Jones said 687 00:37:34,480 --> 00:37:36,800 Speaker 2: after he was elected. This is the guy who wanted 688 00:37:37,120 --> 00:37:39,640 Speaker 2: the kids of his political opponents murdered, said he would 689 00:37:39,640 --> 00:37:42,440 Speaker 2: piss on their graves. Here's what he said in his 690 00:37:43,000 --> 00:37:44,840 Speaker 2: acceptance speech cut twenty one. 691 00:37:45,000 --> 00:37:48,239 Speaker 8: I will defend the rights of every single Virginian. I 692 00:37:48,280 --> 00:37:51,879 Speaker 8: will protect our jobs, our healthcare, and our economy from 693 00:37:51,920 --> 00:37:55,400 Speaker 8: Donald Trump's attacks. I will always work to protect a 694 00:37:55,440 --> 00:38:00,360 Speaker 8: woman's right to an abortion here in Virginia. Donald Trump, 695 00:38:00,480 --> 00:38:03,960 Speaker 8: MAGA and those corporate special interests believe that Virginia's government 696 00:38:03,960 --> 00:38:06,400 Speaker 8: should be beholden to them. But tonight we sent a 697 00:38:06,440 --> 00:38:09,520 Speaker 8: loud message to them into every single person across this country. 698 00:38:09,680 --> 00:38:13,120 Speaker 8: Virginia belongs to the people. Together, we stand firm against 699 00:38:13,160 --> 00:38:15,600 Speaker 8: the people who would take us backward. We will use 700 00:38:15,640 --> 00:38:19,080 Speaker 8: tonight as a springboard to reject the politics of divisiveness 701 00:38:19,080 --> 00:38:19,640 Speaker 8: and division. 702 00:38:21,280 --> 00:38:25,359 Speaker 9: You wanted to kill the kids of your opponents. How 703 00:38:25,400 --> 00:38:28,720 Speaker 9: in the world in your acceptance speech are you saying 704 00:38:29,239 --> 00:38:32,759 Speaker 9: you're fighting back against the politics of division. 705 00:38:34,080 --> 00:38:34,440 Speaker 1: Again. 706 00:38:34,680 --> 00:38:39,000 Speaker 2: I look at some of this and I just say, 707 00:38:39,200 --> 00:38:44,200 Speaker 2: in many respects, this is You know, if I lived 708 00:38:44,320 --> 00:38:50,200 Speaker 2: in a state that was regularly electing Democrats, I don't 709 00:38:50,200 --> 00:38:53,600 Speaker 2: think I could live in that state anymore. And I 710 00:38:53,680 --> 00:38:56,640 Speaker 2: understand because forty percent of people are going to vote 711 00:38:56,719 --> 00:39:02,520 Speaker 2: the other way in any state. Right So, California forty Democrat, 712 00:39:02,600 --> 00:39:05,640 Speaker 2: and my state is going to be pretty comfortably sixty 713 00:39:05,640 --> 00:39:06,600 Speaker 2: to forty Republican. 714 00:39:06,640 --> 00:39:08,760 Speaker 1: In Tennessee for the rest of my life. 715 00:39:08,880 --> 00:39:10,680 Speaker 2: I don't think I could live in a state that 716 00:39:10,719 --> 00:39:14,720 Speaker 2: would elect someone like Jay Jones. I'm just being honest 717 00:39:14,719 --> 00:39:17,319 Speaker 2: with you. If you can elect someone as the chief 718 00:39:17,400 --> 00:39:21,040 Speaker 2: law enforcement officer of your state that said he wants 719 00:39:21,080 --> 00:39:25,000 Speaker 2: to see the kids of a political opponent murdered and 720 00:39:25,040 --> 00:39:27,560 Speaker 2: that if it happened, he would piss on their graves, 721 00:39:28,840 --> 00:39:31,000 Speaker 2: how can you feel comfortable living in that state? And 722 00:39:31,040 --> 00:39:33,120 Speaker 2: I understand a lot of you in southwest Virginia are 723 00:39:33,120 --> 00:39:36,360 Speaker 2: listening to us right now, very different vibe than what 724 00:39:36,480 --> 00:39:39,399 Speaker 2: happens in northern Virginia. But this guy's the chief law 725 00:39:39,480 --> 00:39:43,200 Speaker 2: enforcement officer of your state. Now, how can you trust 726 00:39:43,200 --> 00:39:46,440 Speaker 2: any decision that he makes? And how can you trust 727 00:39:46,480 --> 00:39:52,080 Speaker 2: any decision that your fellow neighbors in Virginia have made? Again, 728 00:39:53,080 --> 00:39:55,040 Speaker 2: I don't think I could live in a blue state 729 00:39:55,160 --> 00:39:57,560 Speaker 2: right now. And also, all these people at these No 730 00:39:57,719 --> 00:40:02,120 Speaker 2: Kings protests, as we were discussing, we're always whining on 731 00:40:02,360 --> 00:40:06,840 Speaker 2: about civility and decency and how Trump is so coarse 732 00:40:06,880 --> 00:40:10,160 Speaker 2: and Trump goes too far and all this stuff. We're 733 00:40:10,160 --> 00:40:15,000 Speaker 2: the ones who had our president and presidential candidate shot 734 00:40:15,040 --> 00:40:17,040 Speaker 2: through the year and almost shot again. We're the ones 735 00:40:17,040 --> 00:40:22,480 Speaker 2: who are still processing the horrendous grief of losing our 736 00:40:22,600 --> 00:40:28,000 Speaker 2: friend and incredible political force, Charlie Kirk to an assassin's bullet. 737 00:40:28,239 --> 00:40:32,560 Speaker 2: We're the ones that are having to always say, Okay, 738 00:40:33,080 --> 00:40:35,400 Speaker 2: I know there's a lot of crazies on your side, 739 00:40:35,440 --> 00:40:37,640 Speaker 2: but for the betterment of the country, we're going to 740 00:40:37,680 --> 00:40:41,640 Speaker 2: try to move forward and stay calm. And then they 741 00:40:41,680 --> 00:40:45,000 Speaker 2: have something like this, yeah, where it. 742 00:40:44,920 --> 00:40:45,919 Speaker 1: Would be very clear. 743 00:40:45,960 --> 00:40:48,040 Speaker 3: I mean, no one saying, you know, it's not like 744 00:40:48,640 --> 00:40:50,680 Speaker 3: this is a presidential election where you say, well, but 745 00:40:50,760 --> 00:40:53,120 Speaker 3: I'll do anything to make sure that abortion stays legal 746 00:40:53,200 --> 00:40:55,520 Speaker 3: nationally or whatever it is. This is for the attorney 747 00:40:55,560 --> 00:40:58,120 Speaker 3: general of a state, and you're really going to put 748 00:40:58,120 --> 00:41:00,680 Speaker 3: forward this guy. Look, the other thing we haven't even mentioned. 749 00:41:00,719 --> 00:41:05,200 Speaker 3: Alvin Bragg in New York City got re elected. 750 00:41:05,400 --> 00:41:06,359 Speaker 1: Well, of course. 751 00:41:07,600 --> 00:41:09,680 Speaker 2: That doesn't I mean, that doesn't surprise me at all. 752 00:41:09,800 --> 00:41:14,239 Speaker 2: I mean, Letitia James, if she is able, will get 753 00:41:14,239 --> 00:41:16,879 Speaker 2: elected for the rest of her life or as long 754 00:41:16,880 --> 00:41:19,640 Speaker 2: as people are willing to are able to claim that 755 00:41:19,680 --> 00:41:23,560 Speaker 2: Trump is Hitler and everything else. But Virginia, this surprised me. 756 00:41:23,960 --> 00:41:26,319 Speaker 2: This was the only result that I saw and I 757 00:41:26,360 --> 00:41:33,480 Speaker 2: thought wow, because again New Jersey governor, Virginia governor, Democrats 758 00:41:33,880 --> 00:41:36,759 Speaker 2: traditionally win, they're favored. They didn't vote for Trump in 759 00:41:36,800 --> 00:41:41,720 Speaker 2: those states. But for the attorney general to have those techs, 760 00:41:41,719 --> 00:41:44,680 Speaker 2: to have it come out, and for him to win 761 00:41:44,800 --> 00:41:46,759 Speaker 2: not only win buck, but win by I think six 762 00:41:46,800 --> 00:41:50,040 Speaker 2: and a half points, which means that it really wasn't 763 00:41:50,440 --> 00:41:53,400 Speaker 2: that close, and that not even very many people ticket split. 764 00:41:53,840 --> 00:41:57,680 Speaker 2: Even if you were a Democrat supporter, you didn't say, Okay, 765 00:41:57,680 --> 00:42:01,319 Speaker 2: you know what, I'll vote span Berger for governor, but 766 00:42:01,440 --> 00:42:05,080 Speaker 2: I'm gonna draw the line at wanting my kids out, 767 00:42:05,280 --> 00:42:09,920 Speaker 2: wanting the kids of political opponents murdered. Democrats were just like, Nope, 768 00:42:10,000 --> 00:42:12,600 Speaker 2: I'm sticking with Jay Jones. And then for him to 769 00:42:12,600 --> 00:42:15,360 Speaker 2: come out and say in his reelection or his election 770 00:42:15,480 --> 00:42:20,279 Speaker 2: speech night victory, we got to work on divisiveness. We're 771 00:42:20,280 --> 00:42:25,239 Speaker 2: gonna tamp down divisiveness. Like what so many of these. 772 00:42:25,400 --> 00:42:28,840 Speaker 3: People that's spinning in the face of everyone who's paying attention. 773 00:42:28,960 --> 00:42:31,840 Speaker 3: That's what that is, that's meant to be. That's like 774 00:42:31,920 --> 00:42:34,560 Speaker 3: Gavin Newsom saying he hates politicians who lie. 775 00:42:35,560 --> 00:42:37,919 Speaker 2: Yes, that's exactly what that is. But it also makes 776 00:42:37,960 --> 00:42:43,600 Speaker 2: me hate politicians. The more time I spend listening to 777 00:42:43,640 --> 00:42:47,200 Speaker 2: some of these morons talk, the more time I spend 778 00:42:47,200 --> 00:42:51,319 Speaker 2: thinking we need way better politicians. We are not being 779 00:42:51,400 --> 00:42:55,279 Speaker 2: led by the best and brightest among us candidly. And 780 00:42:55,320 --> 00:42:58,719 Speaker 2: so look, I can be angry at voters, and I 781 00:42:58,760 --> 00:43:00,760 Speaker 2: am because they put Jajos in office. 782 00:43:01,400 --> 00:43:02,520 Speaker 1: But Jay Jones is a. 783 00:43:03,360 --> 00:43:09,400 Speaker 2: Moron, violent, incompetent, and he was able to get elected. 784 00:43:09,960 --> 00:43:12,800 Speaker 2: And you just said, Buck, did you listen.

Okay, like that's so 831 00:45:38,880 --> 00:45:43,520 Speaker 2: that's ridiculous, but it's clear like locker room talk ridiculousness, 832 00:45:43,520 --> 00:45:48,160 Speaker 2: it's Trump right, Like this is Hey, I'm on a text, man, 833 00:45:48,200 --> 00:45:50,400 Speaker 2: he's telling what he thinks is a joke, trying to 834 00:45:50,400 --> 00:45:54,000 Speaker 2: make somebody laugh. This is on a text message. And 835 00:45:54,080 --> 00:45:56,480 Speaker 2: the woman he was texting with Buck was like, you 836 00:45:56,520 --> 00:45:59,840 Speaker 2: don't really mean that, like you're kind of getting carried away, 837 00:46:00,400 --> 00:46:03,400 Speaker 2: and he's like, no, I really mean it, and I 838 00:46:03,440 --> 00:46:05,600 Speaker 2: would miss on their graves. Like she gave him an 839 00:46:05,600 --> 00:46:08,839 Speaker 2: off ramp of like, hey, you just got carried away 840 00:46:08,880 --> 00:46:09,920 Speaker 2: a little bit on a text. 841 00:46:10,280 --> 00:46:12,880 Speaker 3: She realized what you said is so shameful, like you 842 00:46:12,920 --> 00:46:15,279 Speaker 3: can't actually, let's give you the opportunity to not be 843 00:46:15,800 --> 00:46:19,680 Speaker 3: a total, you know, demonic freak. And he decided to 844 00:46:19,719 --> 00:46:21,200 Speaker 3: double down on it. And now he's going to be 845 00:46:21,239 --> 00:46:24,120 Speaker 3: determining who goes to prison correct and who's prosecuted in 846 00:46:24,160 --> 00:46:25,799 Speaker 3: the state of Virginia. Think about that now. 847 00:46:26,160 --> 00:46:29,239 Speaker 2: Arguably it's the most important job in many ways in 848 00:46:29,280 --> 00:46:32,360 Speaker 2: the state of Virginia, and certainly it's one where judgment 849 00:46:32,400 --> 00:46:35,719 Speaker 2: matters more than most because everything you do is look 850 00:46:35,760 --> 00:46:38,840 Speaker 2: at cases and determine what are the cases that should 851 00:46:38,840 --> 00:46:41,120 Speaker 2: be brought. And Jason Mirs, by the way, was doing 852 00:46:41,160 --> 00:46:45,000 Speaker 2: a really good job as the sitting Attorney General. So 853 00:46:45,120 --> 00:46:47,120 Speaker 2: it's not only that he got elected, it's that he 854 00:46:47,280 --> 00:46:50,480 Speaker 2: beat an incumbent that was running for reelection having done 855 00:46:50,520 --> 00:46:51,040 Speaker 2: a good job. 856 00:46:51,520 --> 00:46:53,200 Speaker 1: We'll take some of your calls, Ryan or Dusky. 857 00:46:53,200 --> 00:46:54,560 Speaker 2: Our buddy's going to join us the top of the 858 00:46:54,560 --> 00:46:56,520 Speaker 2: third hour, give you a little bit of a data 859 00:46:56,520 --> 00:46:59,040 Speaker 2: analysis of what he saw in the numbers. In the meantime. 860 00:46:59,360 --> 00:47:02,640 Speaker 2: The Tunnel That Hours Foundation honors America's heroes and their 861 00:47:02,640 --> 00:47:07,000 Speaker 2: families when tragedy strikes. In the hours after Manhattan was attacked, 862 00:47:07,000 --> 00:47:09,520 Speaker 2: on nine to eleven, The Tunnel the Towers Foundation was 863 00:47:09,560 --> 00:47:12,160 Speaker 2: created to help the families that lost loved ones in 864 00:47:12,280 --> 00:47:15,880 Speaker 2: uniform that day, running towards destruction, not away from it. 865 00:47:16,000 --> 00:47:19,080 Speaker 2: Since then, Tunnel Towers Foundation has done all they can 866 00:47:19,160 --> 00:47:21,200 Speaker 2: to help families that have lost a hero in the 867 00:47:21,239 --> 00:47:24,800 Speaker 2: line of duty. Your generosity has provided mortgage free homes 868 00:47:24,800 --> 00:47:27,879 Speaker 2: to thousands of families worried about the roofs over their head. 869 00:47:28,239 --> 00:47:32,200 Speaker 2: That same generosity has helped severely injured combat veterans return 870 00:47:32,239 --> 00:47:35,920 Speaker 2: home to live in smart homes specially adapted to their needs. 871 00:47:36,080 --> 00:47:38,839 Speaker 2: The Tunnel the Towers Foundation makes this pledge, we will 872 00:47:38,880 --> 00:47:41,960 Speaker 2: never forget. So many of us echo that same sentiment. 873 00:47:42,320 --> 00:47:45,040 Speaker 2: More heroes are waiting and in need of assistants honor 874 00:47:45,120 --> 00:47:48,680 Speaker 2: their sacrifices. Now join us in donating eleven dollars a 875 00:47:48,680 --> 00:47:51,160 Speaker 2: month to Tunnel the Towers at T two t dot org. 876 00:47:51,440 --> 00:47:54,400 Speaker 2: That's t the number two t dot org. 877 00:47:55,360 --> 00:47:58,920 Speaker 5: Views and politics, but also a little comic relief. 878 00:47:59,040 --> 00:48:01,000 Speaker 1: Clay Travis at Buck Sexton. 879 00:48:01,440 --> 00:48:04,759 Speaker 2: Find them on the free iHeartRadio app or wherever you 880 00:48:04,880 --> 00:48:06,000 Speaker 2: get your podcasts. 881 00:48:06,239 --> 00:48:08,720 Speaker 1: Oh, welcome back in here to Clay and Buck. Oh 882 00:48:08,719 --> 00:48:10,680 Speaker 1: my friends. A lot of you on a weigh in 883 00:48:10,840 --> 00:48:11,680 Speaker 1: on a lot of things. 884 00:48:13,160 --> 00:48:16,120 Speaker 3: But one thing that we mentioned that this, unfortunately could 885 00:48:16,160 --> 00:48:20,560 Speaker 3: be a bit of a problem. Supreme Court looking at 886 00:48:20,640 --> 00:48:25,239 Speaker 3: Trump's tariffs, which remember a little bit of review here, 887 00:48:25,440 --> 00:48:30,719 Speaker 3: we were told they would be so bad for the economy. 888 00:48:30,760 --> 00:48:35,279 Speaker 3: Meanwhile they've been it seems, hundreds of billions of dollars 889 00:48:35,280 --> 00:48:40,600 Speaker 3: in the American coffer, and the economy is doing just great, 890 00:48:41,040 --> 00:48:44,000 Speaker 3: at least when it comes to trade, the stock market, investment, 891 00:48:44,080 --> 00:48:48,560 Speaker 3: things like that. Yes, prices are high, but and some 892 00:48:48,560 --> 00:48:50,200 Speaker 3: people said, well, prices are going to rise a lot 893 00:48:50,239 --> 00:48:53,839 Speaker 3: because of terriffs. We actually haven't seen that. If they've risen, 894 00:48:53,880 --> 00:48:59,120 Speaker 3: they've risen a little bit. But that's something that's certainly 895 00:48:59,160 --> 00:49:01,719 Speaker 3: on everyone's mind because if the Supreme Court were to 896 00:49:02,000 --> 00:49:07,319 Speaker 3: say Trump's tariffs are unconstitutional, we have a problem. This 897 00:49:07,440 --> 00:49:11,120 Speaker 3: is cut thirty three. Trump just in Miami, my city. Here, 898 00:49:11,160 --> 00:49:12,160 Speaker 3: here's what he's saying. Play it. 899 00:49:12,360 --> 00:49:14,680 Speaker 10: One hundred percent of the jobs have come from the 900 00:49:14,680 --> 00:49:15,440 Speaker 10: private sector. 901 00:49:15,480 --> 00:49:16,880 Speaker 1: Otherwise you don't have a country. 902 00:49:17,080 --> 00:49:19,200 Speaker 10: I mean, I love government workers, but if you have 903 00:49:19,239 --> 00:49:21,520 Speaker 10: all government workers, you don't have a country, do you. 904 00:49:21,800 --> 00:49:24,560 Speaker 10: At the same time, my tariffs are bringing in hundreds 905 00:49:24,560 --> 00:49:27,360 Speaker 10: of billions of dollars and a helping slash a deficit 906 00:49:27,440 --> 00:49:30,600 Speaker 10: this year by more than fifty percent. Did you see 907 00:49:30,640 --> 00:49:34,280 Speaker 10: those numbers? We're going to be down fifty percent anywhere 908 00:49:34,320 --> 00:49:37,080 Speaker 10: from twenty five to fifty, but closer to fifty percent 909 00:49:37,400 --> 00:49:42,280 Speaker 10: to them who would think that one, those are big numbers, Clay. 910 00:49:42,600 --> 00:49:44,960 Speaker 3: Whatever one thinks of the tariffs, if they were to 911 00:49:45,200 --> 00:49:49,719 Speaker 3: get undermined by the Supreme or effectively done away with 912 00:49:49,840 --> 00:49:53,520 Speaker 3: by the Supreme Court, that's gonna get messy. 913 00:49:54,000 --> 00:49:54,719 Speaker 1: What do you even do? 914 00:49:55,200 --> 00:49:58,359 Speaker 2: It's not dissimilar in my mind back to how you 915 00:49:58,520 --> 00:50:04,200 Speaker 2: in birthright citizenship. Sometimes the law has just been applied 916 00:50:04,520 --> 00:50:07,080 Speaker 2: for so long and so significantly you would have to 917 00:50:07,080 --> 00:50:10,440 Speaker 2: give refunds. It would turn into a real mess. So 918 00:50:11,000 --> 00:50:14,160 Speaker 2: a part of me wonders if they could say, hey, 919 00:50:14,920 --> 00:50:19,200 Speaker 2: we don't think this is constitutional. But it's also also 920 00:50:19,320 --> 00:50:24,399 Speaker 2: incredibly difficult for the court to to order a remediation 921 00:50:24,600 --> 00:50:27,520 Speaker 2: in some way in this perspective, So they could try 922 00:50:27,520 --> 00:50:30,520 Speaker 2: to instruct Congress to see if Congress would vote to 923 00:50:30,600 --> 00:50:33,360 Speaker 2: give the president the authority right, because this is really 924 00:50:33,480 --> 00:50:37,920 Speaker 2: a separation of powers argument. It's does the president have 925 00:50:38,080 --> 00:50:42,440 Speaker 2: the power under emergency declarations to put in place tariffs. 926 00:50:42,480 --> 00:50:46,359 Speaker 2: This is a big picture analysis, or should with the 927 00:50:46,400 --> 00:50:49,560 Speaker 2: power of the purse, Congress have to make a decision 928 00:50:49,800 --> 00:50:54,840 Speaker 2: of this magnitude, And so you have all three powers 929 00:50:54,960 --> 00:50:58,319 Speaker 2: of separation of power elements here the court trying to 930 00:50:58,400 --> 00:51:01,319 Speaker 2: tell Congress what they should have done and what the 931 00:51:01,360 --> 00:51:05,440 Speaker 2: president can't do and deligate those differences. It is somewhat 932 00:51:05,480 --> 00:51:08,480 Speaker 2: complicated to go back, we were talking about this off 933 00:51:08,520 --> 00:51:11,520 Speaker 2: air and say, oh, by the way, that four hundred 934 00:51:11,560 --> 00:51:16,200 Speaker 2: billion dollars that the President has already collected in tariffs 935 00:51:16,320 --> 00:51:19,400 Speaker 2: roughly maybe it's three hundred billion now certainly projected towards 936 00:51:19,400 --> 00:51:23,759 Speaker 2: four hundred it has to somehow be refunded. That's first 937 00:51:23,800 --> 00:51:26,520 Speaker 2: of all, going to increase the deficit obviously, but also 938 00:51:26,760 --> 00:51:31,600 Speaker 2: complicated to figure out how to reassess and reallocate those dollars. 939 00:51:31,640 --> 00:51:36,520 Speaker 2: So this is actually an incredibly significant but also incredibly 940 00:51:36,560 --> 00:51:39,560 Speaker 2: complicated Supreme Court case that was taking place this morning. 941 00:51:40,800 --> 00:51:43,880 Speaker 1: How do you think it shakes out, mister lawyer hat Clay. 942 00:51:44,080 --> 00:51:46,479 Speaker 2: A part of me thinks that they will say that 943 00:51:46,560 --> 00:51:49,640 Speaker 2: the president doesn't have the authority to do it and 944 00:51:49,920 --> 00:51:53,080 Speaker 2: try to put a end of year timeline. This is 945 00:51:53,160 --> 00:51:56,600 Speaker 2: just totally making it up right, because I think going 946 00:51:56,680 --> 00:52:00,640 Speaker 2: back and taking away the dollars that have already come 947 00:52:00,640 --> 00:52:03,880 Speaker 2: into the government and making the government give refunds is complicated. 948 00:52:03,880 --> 00:52:06,440 Speaker 2: The easy out, I would think, would be trying to 949 00:52:06,440 --> 00:52:09,200 Speaker 2: figure out if there's a congressional bill that could be 950 00:52:09,280 --> 00:52:12,160 Speaker 2: passed to rubber stamp what Trump's already done. 951 00:52:13,719 --> 00:52:15,920 Speaker 3: One of the smarter investment moves I've made over the 952 00:52:16,000 --> 00:52:18,640 Speaker 3: years is the purchase of gold, not just because I 953 00:52:18,640 --> 00:52:20,560 Speaker 3: saw it a way of as a way of balancing 954 00:52:20,600 --> 00:52:23,839 Speaker 3: the value of a declining dollar, but because I thought 955 00:52:23,840 --> 00:52:26,239 Speaker 3: it would increase in value. And this year alone, the 956 00:52:26,280 --> 00:52:29,400 Speaker 3: price of gold is up by more than fifty percent. 957 00:52:29,960 --> 00:52:34,360 Speaker 3: With lagging inflation still an issue, government debt insurmountable, owning 958 00:52:34,400 --> 00:52:37,880 Speaker 3: gold just makes sense. The long term thesis is strong 959 00:52:38,280 --> 00:52:40,440 Speaker 3: central banks the world over have been buying gold all 960 00:52:40,560 --> 00:52:43,440 Speaker 3: year long. That's one of the reasons gold's value has 961 00:52:43,480 --> 00:52:46,240 Speaker 3: gone up. Experts following the price of gold see continue 962 00:52:46,280 --> 00:52:48,680 Speaker 3: to appreciate well into the future for all these reasons 963 00:52:48,719 --> 00:52:51,040 Speaker 3: and more. It's not too late for you to enjoy 964 00:52:51,120 --> 00:52:54,200 Speaker 3: a great return yourself.

I thought 989 00:54:08,400 --> 00:54:13,440 Speaker 5: that the Constitution gave the I don't know in the Constitution. 990 00:54:14,080 --> 00:54:18,840 Speaker 5: Wasn't tariffs part of our original revenue source for the 991 00:54:18,880 --> 00:54:23,640 Speaker 5: federal government long before the Income Tax Amendment ever came about. 992 00:54:24,000 --> 00:54:28,560 Speaker 5: I thought tariffs was a legitimate revenue source. We're needing 993 00:54:28,640 --> 00:54:29,880 Speaker 5: some help to understand. 994 00:54:30,000 --> 00:54:34,360 Speaker 2: Okay, So that's a great question, and I'm sure that 995 00:54:34,560 --> 00:54:41,080 Speaker 2: tariffs were incredibly impactful. I mean, look, the Boston Tea Party, 996 00:54:41,719 --> 00:54:45,480 Speaker 2: uh in many ways was funded by tariffs, right, if 997 00:54:45,480 --> 00:54:49,840 Speaker 2: I'm remembering correctly, the cost that they were demanding that 998 00:54:49,920 --> 00:54:55,520 Speaker 2: the colonies pay in order to import tea and other substances. Well, 999 00:54:55,560 --> 00:54:59,399 Speaker 2: the stamp the Stamp the Stamp Act from the ap 1000 00:54:59,600 --> 00:55:05,759 Speaker 2: AP American history, the intolerable acts my understanding, and I 1001 00:55:05,840 --> 00:55:09,360 Speaker 2: will be one hundred percent transparent. I do not do 1002 00:55:09,520 --> 00:55:12,040 Speaker 2: tariff law, and have never done tariff law is a 1003 00:55:12,040 --> 00:55:14,919 Speaker 2: part of my legal practice. I do know a little 1004 00:55:14,920 --> 00:55:17,240 Speaker 2: bit about maritime law, by the way, which is maybe 1005 00:55:17,280 --> 00:55:22,120 Speaker 2: somewhat closely interlocked at times. My understanding is that Trump 1006 00:55:22,160 --> 00:55:27,840 Speaker 2: has cited specifically a nineteen seventies era law which was 1007 00:55:27,960 --> 00:55:32,239 Speaker 2: passed that gives the president the authority to mandate tariffs 1008 00:55:32,280 --> 00:55:36,000 Speaker 2: in times of emergency. My understanding of this dispute is 1009 00:55:36,120 --> 00:55:40,719 Speaker 2: Trump has cited, among other things, I think two primary things, 1010 00:55:40,719 --> 00:55:42,840 Speaker 2: and guys, I don't have the Wall Street Journal with 1011 00:55:42,920 --> 00:55:44,960 Speaker 2: me this morning, but I was reading in their editorial 1012 00:55:45,400 --> 00:55:48,160 Speaker 2: breaking this down, if I remember correctly. One of them 1013 00:55:48,239 --> 00:55:51,520 Speaker 2: is the drug crisis fentanyl and the fact that it's 1014 00:55:51,560 --> 00:55:54,120 Speaker 2: been allowed to be brought into this country, and he 1015 00:55:54,200 --> 00:55:56,120 Speaker 2: is saying that is a crisis based on the number 1016 00:55:56,120 --> 00:55:58,640 Speaker 2: of people that are being killed. And then I think 1017 00:55:58,680 --> 00:56:02,440 Speaker 2: there is an illegal immigration aspect associated with this as 1018 00:56:02,480 --> 00:56:06,279 Speaker 2: well that he has used as the u and by 1019 00:56:06,280 --> 00:56:10,440 Speaker 2: the way, Congress gave the authority to the president to 1020 00:56:10,719 --> 00:56:15,040 Speaker 2: enact that those actions. The question, so far as I 1021 00:56:15,160 --> 00:56:17,799 Speaker 2: understand it to be, and if there is a constitutional 1022 00:56:17,800 --> 00:56:20,600 Speaker 2: scholar out there eight hundred and two A two two 1023 00:56:20,600 --> 00:56:23,799 Speaker 2: eighty two who can pronounce and discuss this to a 1024 00:56:23,800 --> 00:56:26,520 Speaker 2: better degree, the question that is at stake that the 1025 00:56:26,560 --> 00:56:31,600 Speaker 2: constitution that they debated this morning was has Trump exceeded 1026 00:56:31,600 --> 00:56:36,320 Speaker 2: the authority of that nineteen seventies era statute in taking 1027 00:56:36,320 --> 00:56:42,080 Speaker 2: the power to mandate these emergency tariffs by basically taking 1028 00:56:42,080 --> 00:56:44,880 Speaker 2: away the power that otherwise would have resided with Congress. 1029 00:56:45,680 --> 00:56:49,839 Speaker 2: So the argument against the tariffs is that Congress has 1030 00:56:49,880 --> 00:56:52,919 Speaker 2: the power to levy the tariffs. Now, now maybe you're 1031 00:56:52,960 --> 00:56:55,040 Speaker 2: talking about back in the day, in the Articles of 1032 00:56:55,080 --> 00:56:58,920 Speaker 2: Confederation day, in the colony days, and maybe even in 1033 00:56:58,960 --> 00:57:03,759 Speaker 2: the early days of the country. But the authority to 1034 00:57:04,000 --> 00:57:07,840 Speaker 2: enact tariffs, I believe, is with Congress. And one reason 1035 00:57:07,880 --> 00:57:11,560 Speaker 2: they wanted that was obviously separation of powers in general. 1036 00:57:11,560 --> 00:57:15,040 Speaker 2: But I think rooted historically in the fact that tariffs 1037 00:57:15,080 --> 00:57:18,840 Speaker 2: had been such a significant issue for the colonies back 1038 00:57:18,880 --> 00:57:23,080 Speaker 2: in the day, they didn't want one unitary executive necessarily 1039 00:57:23,560 --> 00:57:26,760 Speaker 2: with the ability and all of you who took government 1040 00:57:26,800 --> 00:57:29,440 Speaker 2: back in the day, remember the power of the purse 1041 00:57:30,400 --> 00:57:35,640 Speaker 2: historically and constitutionally has resided with the Congress. 1042 00:57:36,000 --> 00:57:38,919 Speaker 3: I think Professor Clay's history class would be a well 1043 00:57:38,960 --> 00:57:41,480 Speaker 3: a well attended seminar, I really do. 1044 00:57:41,600 --> 00:57:44,360 Speaker 2: I don't want to swear that every single element of 1045 00:57:44,360 --> 00:57:46,320 Speaker 2: that is one hundred percent correct, but I think I 1046 00:57:46,360 --> 00:57:48,280 Speaker 2: got most of it correct. But it's a smart question. 1047 00:57:48,640 --> 00:57:52,480 Speaker 2: But Randy is asking a deep historical question. Again, this 1048 00:57:52,560 --> 00:57:56,120 Speaker 2: is rooted in the authority of a nineteen seventy statute 1049 00:57:56,200 --> 00:57:59,320 Speaker 2: that the Trump administration has cited as the authority for 1050 00:57:59,360 --> 00:58:03,920 Speaker 2: the president unilaterally imposed tariffs across a broad swath of 1051 00:58:04,000 --> 00:58:06,120 Speaker 2: the global trade in commerce. 1052 00:58:07,880 --> 00:58:12,439 Speaker 3: Indeed, we have more coming in here on this one. 1053 00:58:12,600 --> 00:58:16,400 Speaker 3: A lot of folks with a lot of thoughts. Where 1054 00:58:16,480 --> 00:58:21,040 Speaker 3: we hear a second ago VIP email from Lewis election 1055 00:58:21,160 --> 00:58:24,400 Speaker 3: summary and one word hate a powerful emotion and it 1056 00:58:24,440 --> 00:58:27,280 Speaker 3: has been manipulated against core Americans. This just goes to 1057 00:58:27,320 --> 00:58:31,240 Speaker 3: show the Democrat Party has become the party of hate. 1058 00:58:31,480 --> 00:58:33,680 Speaker 3: That was the platform in each race, and unfortunately the 1059 00:58:33,720 --> 00:58:36,160 Speaker 3: Democrat Party is taught to hate from an early age 1060 00:58:36,640 --> 00:58:40,480 Speaker 3: or socially indoctored at embrace hate. Not one Democrat candidate 1061 00:58:40,520 --> 00:58:42,360 Speaker 3: had any solution for the people, just a platform to 1062 00:58:42,440 --> 00:58:44,840 Speaker 3: tear down and stop Trump. We need to take note 1063 00:58:44,880 --> 00:58:48,840 Speaker 3: and fully understand what is coming. History is repeating itself. Lewis, 1064 00:58:50,040 --> 00:58:53,120 Speaker 3: I think that there are there's certainly a lot of 1065 00:58:53,160 --> 00:58:55,919 Speaker 3: anger and rage and hate on the left. I think 1066 00:58:55,960 --> 00:58:58,480 Speaker 3: that envy is one of the most unfortunately one of 1067 00:58:58,480 --> 00:59:04,280 Speaker 3: the most powerful political mobilization tools that exist, especially for 1068 00:59:04,360 --> 00:59:09,680 Speaker 3: people who are of the leftist, redistributive, collectivist, Marxist mindset 1069 00:59:10,320 --> 00:59:14,040 Speaker 3: that you can always find people because the truth is 1070 00:59:14,080 --> 00:59:19,160 Speaker 3: that the material conditions of the New Yorkers, even who 1071 00:59:19,160 --> 00:59:21,880 Speaker 3: are all pro Mamdani. First of all, McLay read was 1072 00:59:21,920 --> 00:59:24,840 Speaker 3: so hilarious, so true. There are a lot of heiresses 1073 00:59:24,920 --> 00:59:26,160 Speaker 3: in Chappaquah who are like. 1074 00:59:26,200 --> 00:59:29,280 Speaker 1: I have Mendani. Yesi's the best. 1075 00:59:29,400 --> 00:59:33,080 Speaker 3: You know, They're they're all all about it and they 1076 00:59:33,160 --> 00:59:35,760 Speaker 3: love pretending to be these radicals that care so much 1077 00:59:35,760 --> 00:59:37,520 Speaker 3: about the poor. I mean, they're gonna live in the 1078 00:59:37,600 --> 00:59:43,520 Speaker 3: highest income, most non diverse neighborhood they possibly can personally, 1079 00:59:43,600 --> 00:59:45,920 Speaker 3: but they want everybody else to, you know, have like 1080 00:59:46,000 --> 00:59:49,480 Speaker 3: community housing and no laws and no cops. Let me 1081 00:59:49,600 --> 00:59:54,080 Speaker 3: step back in, Professor clay here a minute. Bock trade 1082 00:59:54,120 --> 00:59:57,880 Speaker 3: deficits was what one of and finnyl were the two 1083 00:59:57,920 --> 01:00:02,760 Speaker 3: emergencies that Trump cited nineteen seventy nine law that was passed. 1084 01:00:04,880 --> 01:00:10,720 Speaker 3: Amy Cony Barrett talked about the challenges of returning these tariffs. 1085 01:00:11,200 --> 01:00:15,520 Speaker 3: She said, how would the government refund billions of dollars 1086 01:00:15,520 --> 01:00:20,080 Speaker 3: in tariffs? And the lawyer who is suing said representing 1087 01:00:20,080 --> 01:00:24,680 Speaker 3: small businesses, said the court could make its ruling perspective only, 1088 01:00:25,240 --> 01:00:28,280 Speaker 3: meaning no refunds would be necessary. 1089 01:00:28,400 --> 01:00:29,280 Speaker 1: It would only start. 1090 01:00:29,360 --> 01:00:30,840 Speaker 2: That's kind of what I said, it would start at 1091 01:00:30,840 --> 01:00:33,840 Speaker 2: a certain date, and I do think that that is 1092 01:00:34,840 --> 01:00:37,640 Speaker 2: that is a huge part of this as well. But again, 1093 01:00:38,160 --> 01:00:40,120 Speaker 2: the question is what is an emergency? 1094 01:00:40,320 --> 01:00:40,520 Speaker 1: Right? 1095 01:00:40,520 --> 01:00:42,880 Speaker 2: There are many different levels here, and this is kind 1096 01:00:42,880 --> 01:00:46,560 Speaker 2: of a fun legal question, but what is an emergency? 1097 01:00:46,760 --> 01:00:50,200 Speaker 2: And how long would an emergency last within the context 1098 01:00:50,360 --> 01:00:53,880 Speaker 2: of this law that the Trump administration has cited as 1099 01:00:53,960 --> 01:00:59,120 Speaker 2: the legal authority. John in San Diego, this seems like 1100 01:00:59,160 --> 01:01:01,080 Speaker 2: it could be a super nerd call, but I'm kind 1101 01:01:01,120 --> 01:01:05,320 Speaker 2: of impressed by it. John, you say you remember, well, 1102 01:01:05,360 --> 01:01:06,600 Speaker 2: tell us your take here. 1103 01:01:08,320 --> 01:01:12,280 Speaker 6: Okay, it's real simple. The original Constitution only provides for 1104 01:01:12,360 --> 01:01:16,920 Speaker 6: imposts and X posts for taxes, and an impost is 1105 01:01:16,960 --> 01:01:19,919 Speaker 6: a tax on imports, which is a terriff. An next 1106 01:01:20,000 --> 01:01:25,160 Speaker 6: post is an excise tax on domestic goods. 1107 01:01:25,680 --> 01:01:28,480 Speaker 1: So thank you for the call. Sorry to continue. 1108 01:01:28,360 --> 01:01:32,600 Speaker 2: You're the Initially the government was designed to be small, uh, 1109 01:01:32,840 --> 01:01:35,760 Speaker 2: and we did not get the authority for the income 1110 01:01:35,840 --> 01:01:38,840 Speaker 2: tax it started. If I'm remembering correct, because I bet John, 1111 01:01:38,840 --> 01:01:40,400 Speaker 2: you're going to be a nerd here and know this, 1112 01:01:40,760 --> 01:01:43,600 Speaker 2: if I remember correctly, during the Civil War for Abraham 1113 01:01:43,680 --> 01:01:45,480 Speaker 2: Lincoln to pay for the Civil War? 1114 01:01:45,560 --> 01:01:46,400 Speaker 1: Am I correct in that? 1115 01:01:47,920 --> 01:01:50,400 Speaker 6: And then it was canceled and permanent one started in 1116 01:01:50,520 --> 01:01:52,320 Speaker 6: nineteen thirteen or the sixteenth Amendment. 1117 01:01:52,600 --> 01:01:56,760 Speaker 2: Yes, okay, thank you for the call. A lot of 1118 01:01:56,800 --> 01:01:59,160 Speaker 2: people don't know that book. There was no income tax 1119 01:01:59,160 --> 01:02:02,600 Speaker 2: in the United States until the Civil War. Abraham Lincoln 1120 01:02:02,640 --> 01:02:04,960 Speaker 2: has to pay for the Civil War. Once the war's over, 1121 01:02:05,000 --> 01:02:06,840 Speaker 2: they do away with it. And then in the early 1122 01:02:06,920 --> 01:02:10,000 Speaker 2: nineteen hundreds they said, hey, we're going to go back 1123 01:02:10,040 --> 01:02:11,680 Speaker 2: to this, and all of you are going to pay us, 1124 01:02:11,720 --> 01:02:13,840 Speaker 2: you know, thirty plus percent of everything you make. 1125 01:02:14,240 --> 01:02:16,480 Speaker 3: This reminds me very much of the discussion here in 1126 01:02:16,520 --> 01:02:20,160 Speaker 3: Florida about eliminating property for homesteaded properties. And I keep 1127 01:02:20,160 --> 01:02:24,240 Speaker 3: seeing people say, but but where will the money come from. 1128 01:02:24,400 --> 01:02:27,160 Speaker 3: There's plenty of money and the property taxes that would 1129 01:02:27,600 --> 01:02:29,960 Speaker 3: you're talking about something like six percent of the of 1130 01:02:30,000 --> 01:02:32,520 Speaker 3: the actual budget the state of Florida. But everyone gets 1131 01:02:32,600 --> 01:02:35,840 Speaker 3: used to a tax and then thinks that that tax 1132 01:02:36,040 --> 01:02:37,520 Speaker 3: is always going to be there. It's just a question 1133 01:02:37,560 --> 01:02:41,240 Speaker 3: of what the number is. But this country operator just 1134 01:02:41,280 --> 01:02:45,640 Speaker 3: fine without an income tax for a long time, and 1135 01:02:45,720 --> 01:02:47,400 Speaker 3: you start to look at what's going on and where 1136 01:02:47,400 --> 01:02:51,320 Speaker 3: the expenditures are going and increasingly, my friends, we're paying 1137 01:02:51,320 --> 01:02:55,160 Speaker 3: for a massive welfare state, massive welfare state in this country. 1138 01:02:55,200 --> 01:02:57,120 Speaker 3: We don't necessarily call it that, but that is what 1139 01:02:57,200 --> 01:02:59,800 Speaker 3: is going on. Oh well, not only that. The challenge 1140 01:02:59,840 --> 01:03:04,200 Speaker 3: is whenever you try to restrain the welfare straight state, 1141 01:03:04,680 --> 01:03:06,360 Speaker 3: they're immediately. 1142 01:03:06,240 --> 01:03:08,760 Speaker 2: The talking point is you're trying to cut trying to 1143 01:03:08,760 --> 01:03:13,760 Speaker 2: cut benefits. You can never and this is the truth. Psychologically, 1144 01:03:14,320 --> 01:03:17,520 Speaker 2: you can never give somebody something and then try to 1145 01:03:17,560 --> 01:03:20,080 Speaker 2: take it back without them willing to basically be going 1146 01:03:20,800 --> 01:03:22,680 Speaker 2: go to war on you. I mean, this is Look, 1147 01:03:22,720 --> 01:03:25,880 Speaker 2: this is the story of social security. The reality is 1148 01:03:25,920 --> 01:03:30,200 Speaker 2: social security relies on there always being way more young 1149 01:03:30,280 --> 01:03:33,320 Speaker 2: people than there are old people because it's basically one 1150 01:03:33,320 --> 01:03:37,600 Speaker 2: big pyramid scheme. And guess what's going to happen. We're 1151 01:03:37,640 --> 01:03:40,560 Speaker 2: soon going to start having a lot more old people 1152 01:03:40,640 --> 01:03:43,160 Speaker 2: than we are young people. So where does the money 1153 01:03:43,160 --> 01:03:46,160 Speaker 2: for social security come from? And when you tell people that, 1154 01:03:46,520 --> 01:03:49,480 Speaker 2: they say, well, no, no, no, no, no, this is like this 1155 01:03:49,640 --> 01:03:52,320 Speaker 2: is my money. I've been giving you so security money 1156 01:03:52,360 --> 01:03:56,440 Speaker 2: for everyone. Okay, but at some point in time, if 1157 01:03:56,480 --> 01:04:01,320 Speaker 2: the demographics reverse, then you can't take seventy at least 1158 01:04:01,320 --> 01:04:04,400 Speaker 2: in theory, you can't take seventy percent of what somebody 1159 01:04:04,480 --> 01:04:07,200 Speaker 2: earns to pay it back out later. And by the way, 1160 01:04:08,080 --> 01:04:11,560 Speaker 2: the fact that the government just takes huge amounts of 1161 01:04:11,560 --> 01:04:16,000 Speaker 2: money from us buck If I die tomorrow and god 1162 01:04:16,040 --> 01:04:19,880 Speaker 2: forbid my wife dies tomorrow, and once my kids are eighteen, 1163 01:04:19,960 --> 01:04:22,000 Speaker 2: I get no Social Security benefits. 1164 01:04:22,000 --> 01:04:23,720 Speaker 1: They cease to exist. 1165 01:04:23,760 --> 01:04:26,560 Speaker 2: So really you're just rolling the dice on how long 1166 01:04:26,600 --> 01:04:28,760 Speaker 2: are you going to live as to whether you ever 1167 01:04:28,800 --> 01:04:31,160 Speaker 2: get any of the money that the government takes for 1168 01:04:31,240 --> 01:04:33,440 Speaker 2: you from you on Social Security and at least you 1169 01:04:33,520 --> 01:04:36,400 Speaker 2: have a possibility of getting that money back. All the 1170 01:04:36,400 --> 01:04:38,360 Speaker 2: other money they take and you're never getting it back, 1171 01:04:38,840 --> 01:04:42,080 Speaker 2: it's an awful Against your point, we just get used 1172 01:04:42,080 --> 01:04:45,400 Speaker 2: to the idea of getting screwed by the government to 1173 01:04:45,440 --> 01:04:47,720 Speaker 2: such an extent that nobody ever really takes a step 1174 01:04:47,720 --> 01:04:50,080 Speaker 2: back and says, do we have to screw everybody like 1175 01:04:50,120 --> 01:04:54,160 Speaker 2: this by the government? To your point, property taxes is ridiculous. 1176 01:04:54,400 --> 01:04:57,640 Speaker 2: You buy a home, you work your whole life, and 1177 01:04:57,720 --> 01:05:01,040 Speaker 2: you have to give the government a huge payment to 1178 01:05:01,120 --> 01:05:02,840 Speaker 2: be able to stay in the home that. 1179 01:05:02,800 --> 01:05:04,640 Speaker 1: You owe, that you own. 1180 01:05:05,240 --> 01:05:08,200 Speaker 3: I mean, it really is unbelieve you're renting your home 1181 01:05:08,200 --> 01:05:10,160 Speaker 3: from the government, and the government can take the government 1182 01:05:10,240 --> 01:05:12,640 Speaker 3: is your landlord. If you don't pay your home fermies, 1183 01:05:12,720 --> 01:05:15,440 Speaker 3: they will take your home. That you can never actually 1184 01:05:15,840 --> 01:05:18,600 Speaker 3: just own a home that you can live in. You 1185 01:05:18,720 --> 01:05:21,880 Speaker 3: have to always do this thing of continuing to be 1186 01:05:22,160 --> 01:05:24,920 Speaker 3: extracted from You cannot just exist. 1187 01:05:25,280 --> 01:05:29,600 Speaker 2: And older people who retire, it becomes brutal on them 1188 01:05:30,160 --> 01:05:32,920 Speaker 2: because it's one thing to pay property taxes when you 1189 01:05:33,000 --> 01:05:35,400 Speaker 2: and I are working age. I mean, I don't like it, 1190 01:05:35,760 --> 01:05:38,440 Speaker 2: but at least I'm working. But if I'm seventy and 1191 01:05:38,480 --> 01:05:41,320 Speaker 2: I've lived in the same house for thirty years, those 1192 01:05:41,400 --> 01:05:43,760 Speaker 2: numbers guess what, they ain't going down. They're going to 1193 01:05:43,840 --> 01:05:46,240 Speaker 2: keep going up. And it becomes more and more for 1194 01:05:46,320 --> 01:05:48,080 Speaker 2: many of you out there listening to us right now 1195 01:05:48,120 --> 01:05:50,880 Speaker 2: that are fortunate to own homes. You're nodding along, you're 1196 01:05:50,880 --> 01:05:54,000 Speaker 2: saying this is crazy, but yes, we've just accepted that 1197 01:05:54,040 --> 01:05:56,400 Speaker 2: this should happen. And again, the fact that we didn't 1198 01:05:56,400 --> 01:06:00,000 Speaker 2: even have an income tax that was in existence until 1199 01:06:00,160 --> 01:06:02,800 Speaker 2: the early nineteen hundred, it stuns a lot of people 1200 01:06:02,800 --> 01:06:09,360 Speaker 2: because they just presume that we've always been doing this. Indeed, indeed, 1201 01:06:09,400 --> 01:06:12,080 Speaker 2: Professor Clay yes anyway, I can nerd out on this 1202 01:06:12,080 --> 01:06:15,880 Speaker 2: stuff and I just like asking why are we doing this? 1203 01:06:16,320 --> 01:06:18,200 Speaker 2: Maybe I'm a little bit weird. Sometimes I take a 1204 01:06:18,240 --> 01:06:20,280 Speaker 2: step back and I'm like, yes, this exists, but why? 1205 01:06:21,440 --> 01:06:23,240 Speaker 2: And kids are really great at this.
