Thursday edition of The 3 00:00:07,360 --> 00:00:10,760 Speaker 1: Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show kicks off right now. 4 00:00:10,880 --> 00:00:16,040 Speaker 1: Clay and I together down here in Miami, Florida. Thank 5 00:00:16,079 --> 00:00:19,200 Speaker 1: you for a w iod for hosting us down here. 6 00:00:19,960 --> 00:00:21,479 Speaker 1: A lot of stories we are going to get you 7 00:00:21,560 --> 00:00:26,439 Speaker 1: today in the news, including an arrest made in San 8 00:00:26,520 --> 00:00:29,240 Speaker 1: Francisco and the murder of Bob Lee, who's the founder 9 00:00:29,240 --> 00:00:33,479 Speaker 1: of cash app. Turns out he knew the individual who 10 00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:38,920 Speaker 1: stabbed him. He's a fellow tech employee or a tech person. 11 00:00:39,479 --> 00:00:42,800 Speaker 1: So we'll discuss this, and also just the overall conversation 12 00:00:42,880 --> 00:00:46,320 Speaker 1: around what's happening in San fran and liberal cities like 13 00:00:46,479 --> 00:00:52,880 Speaker 1: it all over the country. In Nashville, Representative Justin Pearson 14 00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:56,560 Speaker 1: is both of the representatives who were kicked out of 15 00:00:56,600 --> 00:01:02,960 Speaker 1: the Tennessee legislature have been voted back in. So turns out, 16 00:01:03,040 --> 00:01:05,560 Speaker 1: you know, democracy is not over all the stuff that 17 00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:09,320 Speaker 1: the Democrats were saying over the weekend, but we know 18 00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:12,280 Speaker 1: that they were exaggerating. That was the whole point. Interesting 19 00:01:12,319 --> 00:01:16,839 Speaker 1: story up on Fox News now, a former Obama White 20 00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:21,880 Speaker 1: House stenographer has blown the whistle on Biden kickbacks scheme 21 00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:26,560 Speaker 1: after Hunter joined Barizma. So we'll discuss just in general. 22 00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:31,840 Speaker 1: Also the whole Biden influence peddling, the whole thing is 23 00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:36,840 Speaker 1: so unseemly, so obviously illegal, So we'll get into some 24 00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:39,240 Speaker 1: of that obviously. Also want to take your calls eight 25 00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:42,960 Speaker 1: hundred two two two eight eight two. Oh. The FED 26 00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:48,840 Speaker 1: is projecting recession, so now they're basically telling you, look, 27 00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:50,920 Speaker 1: we've held this thing back as long as we can, 28 00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:58,160 Speaker 1: but the recession is coming. That seems to be increasingly consensus, 29 00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:00,480 Speaker 1: even for people who don't want to say that out loud. 30 00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:03,240 Speaker 1: We'll dive into that, but I mean, first I gotta 31 00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:06,800 Speaker 1: tell you all the we were on this morning. We 32 00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:10,560 Speaker 1: joined our our new friend Patrick Bett David on his 33 00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:13,080 Speaker 1: podcast as a very big podcast. So Clay and I 34 00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:15,760 Speaker 1: but joined him on that. A lot of a lot 35 00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:20,560 Speaker 1: of fun. But it is in the Fort Lauderdale area, 36 00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:24,480 Speaker 1: And oh my gosh, last night Clay tried to get 37 00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:27,519 Speaker 1: to Fort Lauderdale. I was I was in Miami overnight 38 00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:30,080 Speaker 1: Clay was trying to fly in. Clay, have you seen this? 39 00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:34,919 Speaker 1: There are our photos and video right now of the 40 00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:39,720 Speaker 1: entirety of the Fort Airport is underwater. You have over 41 00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:44,440 Speaker 1: twenty five inches of water dumped on that city in 42 00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:49,720 Speaker 1: twenty four hours, the heaviest single day rainfall ever for 43 00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:53,160 Speaker 1: the city of Fort Lauderdale. Up on drudge, they're calling 44 00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:56,320 Speaker 1: it a one in a thousand year event. It was 45 00:02:57,200 --> 00:03:01,640 Speaker 1: crazy last night on the highways. People were abandoning their cars. 46 00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:04,679 Speaker 1: What was going on then? So putting this into context 47 00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:08,760 Speaker 1: right now, So we're down in South Florida. This yesterday 48 00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:12,080 Speaker 1: in Fort Lauderdale is the most amount of rain in 49 00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:16,880 Speaker 1: a day any place in Florida has ever gotten ten 50 00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:21,120 Speaker 1: more inches than Miami got one hundred years ago. Basically 51 00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:25,240 Speaker 1: Key West got so twenty five point nine inches of 52 00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:28,600 Speaker 1: rain fell in twenty four hours, and I was scheduled 53 00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:32,440 Speaker 1: buck I took off in Nashville right after our show 54 00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:37,880 Speaker 1: yesterday and I was scheduled to land in Fort Lauderdale 55 00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:39,440 Speaker 1: to do this interview. We got a couple of other 56 00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:41,160 Speaker 1: interviews to do. To hang out down here with you 57 00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:44,640 Speaker 1: for a few days. We got rerouted to Sarah Soda, 58 00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:47,840 Speaker 1: so I had to get a rental car in Sarah Soda. 59 00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:51,840 Speaker 1: I didn't really know what I was driving into. I 60 00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:56,640 Speaker 1: got into Fort Lauderdale last night around ten thirty to 61 00:03:56,640 --> 00:03:59,800 Speaker 1: try to get to my hotel. I spent and I'm 62 00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:02,800 Speaker 1: not I've never seen anything like this As a driver, 63 00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:06,160 Speaker 1: I spent the next three and a half hours in 64 00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:12,360 Speaker 1: my car. There were roads flooded in every direction. At 65 00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:14,680 Speaker 1: one point I was sitting in the car for an 66 00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:18,880 Speaker 1: hour with flooded roads in both directions. I thought maybe 67 00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:20,960 Speaker 1: I was going to run out of gas. I thought 68 00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:22,839 Speaker 1: that I was going to have to sleep in the car. 69 00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:27,520 Speaker 1: Every hotel in the vistay shut down the airport. And 70 00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:29,720 Speaker 1: when I say shut down, I mean it was so 71 00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:34,320 Speaker 1: flooded you can still see today. The runways literally have 72 00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:38,280 Speaker 1: some of them. It looks like feet of water on them. 73 00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:42,200 Speaker 1: And it was it was like a third world country 74 00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:47,280 Speaker 1: in all of these different all these different hotel lobbies. 75 00:04:47,640 --> 00:04:53,240 Speaker 1: Post midnight, people just splayed out everywhere, cars abandoned everywhere 76 00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:56,280 Speaker 1: as wide as you can see that got caught in 77 00:04:56,320 --> 00:04:59,640 Speaker 1: the immediate flash flood. I mean they're showing right now 78 00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:05,400 Speaker 1: the footage live of Fort Lauderdale Airport, and the airport 79 00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:08,320 Speaker 1: looks like a lake. I mean, I've never seen anything 80 00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:12,000 Speaker 1: like this at an actual airport. I don't think they're 81 00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:14,719 Speaker 1: going to open today, probably to be able to land 82 00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:18,920 Speaker 1: any planes. And I got eventually, I found a hotel 83 00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:21,480 Speaker 1: and got in around two am. I've never seen anything 84 00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:25,560 Speaker 1: like it. I lived through the Nashville flood. Some of 85 00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:28,960 Speaker 1: you may remember that it was a monstrous, huge, five 86 00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:32,880 Speaker 1: hundred year event, but I wasn't driving around. There were 87 00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:35,440 Speaker 1: virtually no cops. I imagined they were having to respond 88 00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:40,120 Speaker 1: to try to save people's lives. And everywhere you turned 89 00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:44,719 Speaker 1: there were different not just standing water, like water that 90 00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:47,440 Speaker 1: if you drove your car, it would cover the top 91 00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:51,600 Speaker 1: of your car on major streets, even downtown Fort Lauderdale. 92 00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:54,560 Speaker 1: And as we're talking to you, I mean, I imagine 93 00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:57,400 Speaker 1: this is turning into a pretty big national story. But 94 00:05:57,560 --> 00:06:01,960 Speaker 1: there are people doing live reports from Lauderdale Airport, and 95 00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:05,880 Speaker 1: again it looks like the runways look like lakes. So 96 00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:09,360 Speaker 1: if you have a trip to South Florida scheduled, I 97 00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:10,760 Speaker 1: don't even know I'm gonna be able to fly out 98 00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:13,599 Speaker 1: on Saturday. The good news is, guys, I've got really 99 00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:17,119 Speaker 1: comfortable bunk beds down here. And I told Clay, because 100 00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:20,000 Speaker 1: I'm a hospitable guy, he can have top bunk, so 101 00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:24,760 Speaker 1: he's good. If I'm not kidding. At two am, I 102 00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:27,960 Speaker 1: had no idea where I was going. I actually pulled 103 00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:32,320 Speaker 1: up your address and I was like, maybe I should 104 00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:34,640 Speaker 1: just drive to Buck's Place at two thirty in the 105 00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:37,560 Speaker 1: morning and show up like outdoors because I didn't I mean, 106 00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:39,360 Speaker 1: I had a rental car. I didn't know where to go. 107 00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:41,000 Speaker 1: I thought I was going to have to abandon the 108 00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:43,360 Speaker 1: rental car on the side of the road. The gas 109 00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:46,360 Speaker 1: stations I should mention all ran out of gas, so 110 00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:49,719 Speaker 1: I thought I was legitimately run out of gas. Phone 111 00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:51,839 Speaker 1: was dying. I didn't have the right charger for the 112 00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:53,680 Speaker 1: for the adapter in the car. I mean, this was 113 00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:56,440 Speaker 1: I don't know, it was crazy. So anyway, I got 114 00:06:56,480 --> 00:06:58,640 Speaker 1: to a hotel, got in bed around you know, three 115 00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:01,440 Speaker 1: thirty or so, and I felt fortunate to find a 116 00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:04,719 Speaker 1: hotel anywhere. We already did a two hour podcast YouTube 117 00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:07,560 Speaker 1: live show, and hopefully we'll do a good job here. 118 00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:09,240 Speaker 1: But I know we got people listening to us all 119 00:07:09,279 --> 00:07:13,560 Speaker 1: over South Florida. Certainly are who are dealing with the 120 00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:15,760 Speaker 1: impact of this, and a lot of people probably who 121 00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:19,400 Speaker 1: were traveling to or from South Florida as well. This 122 00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:23,160 Speaker 1: is an all time record amount of rainfall to fall 123 00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:25,080 Speaker 1: in the state of Florida a place Buck where it's 124 00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:28,560 Speaker 1: worth mentioning they're kind of used to thunderstorms, kind of 125 00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:31,560 Speaker 1: used to lots of rainfall, never seen anything like this. 126 00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:35,760 Speaker 1: This felt like a slow moving and then a sudden 127 00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:39,000 Speaker 1: like tropical storm or hurricane that nobody was expecting, just 128 00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:42,920 Speaker 1: because it's been crazy windy for days, tons of water 129 00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:45,760 Speaker 1: being dumped over the course of days. But then this 130 00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:48,480 Speaker 1: flash flood that hit for Lauderdale. I mean, no one's looked, 131 00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:51,400 Speaker 1: no one's ever seen anything like it because it's never 132 00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:54,600 Speaker 1: really happened before in this way. So obviously we're just 133 00:07:54,640 --> 00:07:56,760 Speaker 1: hoping everybody out there, if you're listening to us, you know, 134 00:07:57,160 --> 00:07:58,920 Speaker 1: stay safe. You can always go back to the car, 135 00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:01,000 Speaker 1: you can always deal with the problems later. Just make 136 00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:03,960 Speaker 1: sure your physical safety is the first thing that you 137 00:08:03,960 --> 00:08:07,760 Speaker 1: are are attending to. And by the way Buck putting 138 00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:11,080 Speaker 1: it in context, how unexpected this was. I mean I 139 00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:13,920 Speaker 1: took off in Nashville at like three thirty Central time, 140 00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:17,400 Speaker 1: so they clearly weren't anticipating this because while we're in 141 00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:19,560 Speaker 1: the air, they said, hey, we're having to reroute. I 142 00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:22,240 Speaker 1: think Tampa got blown up. Sarah Soda in terms of 143 00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:24,880 Speaker 1: all the different things. But you know, even two hours 144 00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:27,560 Speaker 1: before landing, they weren't expecting the airport to get shut 145 00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:30,720 Speaker 1: down like this. So we're we're still thinking about that 146 00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:33,600 Speaker 1: and obviously going to be keeping an eye on it, 147 00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:35,520 Speaker 1: you know, Clay, we got a lot of things to 148 00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:40,040 Speaker 1: get into today. One one story that's obviously a big 149 00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:42,079 Speaker 1: headline getting a bit of a surprise from a lot 150 00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:47,840 Speaker 1: of folks, is this stabbing, this murder of Bob Lee 151 00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:51,680 Speaker 1: and San Francisco Ver. This is the tech executive who 152 00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:56,560 Speaker 1: had left San Francisco because it had been it was 153 00:08:56,600 --> 00:08:59,640 Speaker 1: just too disordered and too much anarchy, which which we 154 00:08:59,679 --> 00:09:03,040 Speaker 1: often talk about. And then he got stabbed early in 155 00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:07,800 Speaker 1: the morning by somebody who was pulling along a rolling bag. 156 00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:13,840 Speaker 1: It turns out that he knew the suspect, and so 157 00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:16,160 Speaker 1: this is he was somebody that he had been driving 158 00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:19,800 Speaker 1: around with. They got into a they got into some 159 00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:22,040 Speaker 1: kind of an argument and he killed him. And I 160 00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:26,720 Speaker 1: think it's one of these moments where the mayor London 161 00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:28,960 Speaker 1: breed has come out. Do you see this, and she said, 162 00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:31,560 Speaker 1: you know, everyone should wait for the facts to come out. 163 00:09:31,960 --> 00:09:34,640 Speaker 1: It's like, all right, well, you still had a murder 164 00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:36,600 Speaker 1: on the streets of your city at two o'clock in 165 00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:41,559 Speaker 1: the morning. So it wasn't a crazy vagrant this time. 166 00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:45,920 Speaker 1: That stuff is happening constantly in San Francisco anyway. It's 167 00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:49,760 Speaker 1: amazing to me that there are people who, because they 168 00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:52,480 Speaker 1: think they get political advantage from it, they always want 169 00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:54,920 Speaker 1: to minimize what we all know is happening, and they 170 00:09:54,920 --> 00:09:57,240 Speaker 1: look for it and they say, see, it's not really 171 00:09:57,360 --> 00:10:02,000 Speaker 1: look at this. This doesn't disprove anything about the reality 172 00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:04,480 Speaker 1: of what's happening in San Francisco or any major city 173 00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:06,719 Speaker 1: right now. That's why we have data, because data is 174 00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:09,839 Speaker 1: supposed to give you the aggregate numbers and sense of 175 00:10:09,920 --> 00:10:12,080 Speaker 1: what's really happening, which is why I just come back 176 00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:15,640 Speaker 1: to and I think it's so significant. The big issue 177 00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:19,959 Speaker 1: that San Francisco has is there's right now a thirty 178 00:10:20,040 --> 00:10:23,960 Speaker 1: percent vacancy rate in their commercial real estate, that is, 179 00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:27,800 Speaker 1: office buildings are thirty percent empty. And I bring this 180 00:10:27,880 --> 00:10:30,680 Speaker 1: home because I think it really kind of epitomizes it well. 181 00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:35,360 Speaker 1: Right now in Detroit twelve percent, So everybody thinks about 182 00:10:35,400 --> 00:10:38,640 Speaker 1: what a struggling downtown corridor Detroit is, and they've made 183 00:10:38,640 --> 00:10:40,440 Speaker 1: a lot of progress in Detroit is better than it 184 00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:44,800 Speaker 1: has been historically, but San Francisco's almost triple the vacancy 185 00:10:44,880 --> 00:10:49,719 Speaker 1: rate of right now Detroit, and the crime we know 186 00:10:50,160 --> 00:10:53,440 Speaker 1: is skyrocketing, and it's only going to get worse because 187 00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:56,720 Speaker 1: as those buildings are empty, the jobs that are designed 188 00:10:56,760 --> 00:10:59,360 Speaker 1: to fill surrounding the people who would otherwise be in 189 00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:02,320 Speaker 1: those buildings also vanish and buck. You know, this has 190 00:11:02,360 --> 00:11:05,240 Speaker 1: become an issue in New York City. Where they're right 191 00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:10,040 Speaker 1: now is substantial amounts of New York City that on 192 00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:13,400 Speaker 1: a Monday or a Tuesday, they feel like it's Sunday 193 00:11:13,640 --> 00:11:16,400 Speaker 1: right where people are still there's just not the usual 194 00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:19,520 Speaker 1: foot traffic that there would be, and there's just a 195 00:11:19,520 --> 00:11:23,160 Speaker 1: major seismic shift I think going on, and these left 196 00:11:23,200 --> 00:11:27,800 Speaker 1: wing cities have still not recognized the extent to which 197 00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:30,280 Speaker 1: they're going to have to change and just compete. We 198 00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:32,720 Speaker 1: were talking about that this morning. You know, when you 199 00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:35,240 Speaker 1: grew up as a New York City guy, you were like, 200 00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:38,440 Speaker 1: I would not choose to live anywhere else in the world. 201 00:11:38,520 --> 00:11:40,559 Speaker 1: That was a pride of place that New York City had, 202 00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:43,160 Speaker 1: and so many other people would say, the first chance 203 00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:44,880 Speaker 1: I get, I'm moving to New York City. It's the 204 00:11:44,880 --> 00:11:47,560 Speaker 1: best place to live. I don't think that same vibe 205 00:11:47,679 --> 00:11:50,520 Speaker 1: exists in the national consciousness anymore. Well, we talked to 206 00:11:50,640 --> 00:11:53,719 Speaker 1: Patrick about it on a show earlier this morning, the 207 00:11:54,080 --> 00:11:57,560 Speaker 1: same idea about New York that something like thirty percent 208 00:11:57,640 --> 00:12:02,319 Speaker 1: of the residents are expressing a desire to leave. And 209 00:12:02,720 --> 00:12:04,760 Speaker 1: this is where you would think that that New York 210 00:12:04,840 --> 00:12:08,800 Speaker 1: City and other large cities that are losing population right now, 211 00:12:08,840 --> 00:12:11,480 Speaker 1: that are all It's not just that they have Democrats 212 00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:15,320 Speaker 1: in charge. They are Democrat enclaves. Right when you're talking 213 00:12:15,440 --> 00:12:20,600 Speaker 1: eighty ninety percent of an urban area is one political party. 214 00:12:20,679 --> 00:12:25,079 Speaker 1: You have one party rule. It's not like Republican ideas 215 00:12:25,080 --> 00:12:27,839 Speaker 1: are being taken into account in New York City. I mean, yeah, 216 00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:30,720 Speaker 1: you know Staten Island, you got a city councilman or two. 217 00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:32,560 Speaker 1: You know, my friend Joe Borelli's out there. I mean, 218 00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:35,560 Speaker 1: there's people that are not completely nuts, who are in 219 00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:39,720 Speaker 1: the infrastrary in the political scene in some way. But overall, 220 00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:43,280 Speaker 1: when you get to that level of I would even 221 00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:46,880 Speaker 1: say over seventy percent in a city, there is no 222 00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:51,600 Speaker 1: corrective mechanism because you just keep passing power back between 223 00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:55,360 Speaker 1: Democrats and no one's ever really held accountable because the 224 00:12:55,400 --> 00:12:58,200 Speaker 1: whole city just decides they're going to keep voting for 225 00:12:58,200 --> 00:13:01,400 Speaker 1: the same thing. And talked about this man. I found 226 00:13:02,200 --> 00:13:05,360 Speaker 1: what happened in Chicago and the choice to go with 227 00:13:06,160 --> 00:13:09,840 Speaker 1: the choice not to elect Vallis and Johnson right, Brandon 228 00:13:09,880 --> 00:13:14,320 Speaker 1: Johnson one and Johnson. I found that just it was sad. 229 00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:17,280 Speaker 1: It made me sad for the city of Chicago and 230 00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:20,960 Speaker 1: for the violence that is going to occur because of 231 00:13:21,040 --> 00:13:24,120 Speaker 1: bad policies at a higher level than would have if 232 00:13:24,120 --> 00:13:26,439 Speaker 1: they had made a better decision. I mean, Democrats are 233 00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:29,360 Speaker 1: now voting for some of this stuff that we're seeing. 234 00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:31,720 Speaker 1: That's the problem. It's one thing when you haven't suffered 235 00:13:31,720 --> 00:13:35,480 Speaker 1: the consequences. There are places where Democrats are saying, well, 236 00:13:35,480 --> 00:13:38,480 Speaker 1: we're still gonna do this, even if it means all 237 00:13:38,520 --> 00:13:41,640 Speaker 1: of the following bad things happen. That's not a good 238 00:13:41,679 --> 00:13:43,760 Speaker 1: place to be, no doubt. And it's gonna have to 239 00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:47,200 Speaker 1: evidently get worse before they consider making a change and 240 00:13:47,320 --> 00:13:50,199 Speaker 1: going with a Giuliani like direction. In so many of 241 00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:52,960 Speaker 1: these cities, whether it's Chicago, whether it's San Francisco, Atlanta, 242 00:13:53,040 --> 00:13:55,760 Speaker 1: New York City, Philadelphia, which is in the grips of 243 00:13:56,720 --> 00:14:00,200 Speaker 1: great despair related to crime, setting all time highs. We 244 00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:02,000 Speaker 1: live in a digital age, and with that comes the 245 00:14:02,080 --> 00:14:04,800 Speaker 1: risk of a data breach. A cyber thief hacks into 246 00:14:04,840 --> 00:14:08,120 Speaker 1: a company's computer steals their customer data. When that happens, 247 00:14:08,120 --> 00:14:10,280 Speaker 1: you're at risk. This happens to companies all the time. 248 00:14:10,320 --> 00:14:12,440 Speaker 1: They're slow to admit it, and by the time they do, 249 00:14:12,920 --> 00:14:15,200 Speaker 1: your data may well be in the wrong hands.

Is over in Ireland. 266 00:15:12,080 --> 00:15:13,960 Speaker 1: Have you ever been in Ireland, Clay, I've actually never been, 267 00:15:13,960 --> 00:15:16,800 Speaker 1: even though it is technically my mother country or you know, 268 00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:21,040 Speaker 1: country of heritage that in Scotland. Never been over there. 269 00:15:21,400 --> 00:15:24,800 Speaker 1: Here a lovely place, lovely people. Very left wing politics, however, 270 00:15:26,040 --> 00:15:28,120 Speaker 1: here is you know that's actually true. They're they're like 271 00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:31,160 Speaker 1: the They're like the Communist of Western I've been the 272 00:15:31,240 --> 00:15:34,920 Speaker 1: Scolisher very which I would encourage, by the way, Yes, 273 00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:37,040 Speaker 1: for sure, I would encourage anybody who has a chance. 274 00:15:37,120 --> 00:15:39,160 Speaker 1: Edinburgh is one of the coolest cities that I've ever 275 00:15:39,240 --> 00:15:41,320 Speaker 1: been to. Ye, I have not gotten to spend any 276 00:15:41,400 --> 00:15:43,960 Speaker 1: kind of time in Ireland, which I would love to. Yeah. 277 00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:48,560 Speaker 1: So Biden's in Ireland and he addressed their parliament. And 278 00:15:48,680 --> 00:15:52,240 Speaker 1: here is what he sounded like listening to this. He 279 00:15:52,360 --> 00:15:54,440 Speaker 1: wants to ask me. It's to Benetlette, he said, can 280 00:15:54,480 --> 00:15:58,200 Speaker 1: you define America for me? God's truth? I suggest I 281 00:15:58,240 --> 00:16:00,680 Speaker 1: can in one word. But if you ask me what 282 00:16:00,760 --> 00:16:04,800 Speaker 1: Ireland could see the same thing, one word possibilities. We 283 00:16:04,960 --> 00:16:07,720 Speaker 1: believe anything is possible, we set our mind to it, 284 00:16:07,880 --> 00:16:10,640 Speaker 1: and we do it together. This is the United States 285 00:16:10,680 --> 00:16:14,040 Speaker 1: of America and Ireland. There's nothing beyond our capacity if 286 00:16:14,080 --> 00:16:15,960 Speaker 1: we do it together. And we got to believe that. 287 00:16:16,080 --> 00:16:18,040 Speaker 1: We got to know that because that's the history of 288 00:16:18,040 --> 00:16:21,080 Speaker 1: both our countries. This about defending the value is handed 289 00:16:21,080 --> 00:16:23,800 Speaker 1: down to us by our ancestors, keeping the flame of freedom. 290 00:16:23,800 --> 00:16:26,360 Speaker 1: We inherited the beacon that's going to guide our children 291 00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:29,000 Speaker 1: and grandchildren. There's a struggle we have to we were 292 00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:33,720 Speaker 1: fit to fight together. I don't think it's not just 293 00:16:33,760 --> 00:16:36,720 Speaker 1: that I don't know what Biden's talking about. I don't 294 00:16:36,800 --> 00:16:40,080 Speaker 1: think that Biden knows what he's talking about or what 295 00:16:40,120 --> 00:16:43,400 Speaker 1: that's even supposed to mean. Yeah, okay, it's the boilerplate 296 00:16:43,400 --> 00:16:50,359 Speaker 1: political think it's possible. But it's just he's on autopilot 297 00:16:50,400 --> 00:16:53,320 Speaker 1: in a way to me that makes it clear he's 298 00:16:53,360 --> 00:16:55,960 Speaker 1: just trying to go through the motions, and you feel 299 00:16:55,960 --> 00:16:57,480 Speaker 1: like he's trying to run out the clock on his 300 00:16:57,520 --> 00:16:59,920 Speaker 1: own presidency. Sometimes up there, I mean, this is black. 301 00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:06,320 Speaker 1: This is completely worthless claptrap. Whatever you do for a living, 302 00:17:07,200 --> 00:17:11,879 Speaker 1: imagine that you got the most important job of your life. 303 00:17:12,480 --> 00:17:15,600 Speaker 1: Twenty to twenty five years after you would have been 304 00:17:15,680 --> 00:17:19,240 Speaker 1: the best. Edit. Regardless of how good you think Joe 305 00:17:19,280 --> 00:17:23,359 Speaker 1: Biden would have done as a president at fifty four, 306 00:17:24,160 --> 00:17:27,399 Speaker 1: he would be ten times better in terms of his 307 00:17:27,480 --> 00:17:30,959 Speaker 1: ability in his cognitive sense as president if he had 308 00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:34,040 Speaker 1: been fifty five years old when he ran for president 309 00:17:34,080 --> 00:17:36,359 Speaker 1: basically the first time back in nineteen eighty eight, if 310 00:17:36,359 --> 00:17:38,840 Speaker 1: I remember correctly, or if he had been you know, 311 00:17:38,960 --> 00:17:43,080 Speaker 1: just late fifties. And that's why ultimately I come back 312 00:17:43,119 --> 00:17:45,040 Speaker 1: to this, and we talked about this earlier because we're 313 00:17:45,080 --> 00:17:47,800 Speaker 1: down in South Florida together. We were on Patrick Bett 314 00:17:47,880 --> 00:17:52,480 Speaker 1: David's podcast for a couple of hours this morning. Biden's 315 00:17:53,440 --> 00:17:58,720 Speaker 1: number one worst asset and look the borders, a disaster, crimes, 316 00:17:58,720 --> 00:18:02,000 Speaker 1: a disaster, inflation as a disaster. Biden is the worst 317 00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:05,360 Speaker 1: president in any of our lives. But the number one 318 00:18:05,440 --> 00:18:08,119 Speaker 1: thing that he is worst at buck is something that 319 00:18:08,160 --> 00:18:11,080 Speaker 1: he has zero chance to control, and that is his 320 00:18:11,200 --> 00:18:15,080 Speaker 1: age and declining cognitive abilities. They won't let him talk 321 00:18:15,080 --> 00:18:17,000 Speaker 1: to the media by and large, he hasn't had a 322 00:18:17,040 --> 00:18:20,000 Speaker 1: press conference in over one hundred and fifty days. Essentially, 323 00:18:21,560 --> 00:18:25,640 Speaker 1: if he is on a stage on a regular basis 324 00:18:25,760 --> 00:18:30,040 Speaker 1: with real rigor as a political candidate. As bad as 325 00:18:30,040 --> 00:18:33,400 Speaker 1: he is now, he's going to be infinitely worse. And 326 00:18:33,440 --> 00:18:36,679 Speaker 1: that's why I keep coming back to a lot of 327 00:18:36,680 --> 00:18:38,560 Speaker 1: people out there. I just shared the stat with you. 328 00:18:38,840 --> 00:18:41,960 Speaker 1: There's a Gallup poll out today says twenty five percent 329 00:18:41,960 --> 00:18:45,400 Speaker 1: of people are Republicans, twenty five percent of people are Democrats, 330 00:18:45,720 --> 00:18:48,879 Speaker 1: fifty percent of people are independent. Now, we could agree 331 00:18:48,960 --> 00:18:51,440 Speaker 1: or disagree if we think that Gallant poll is accurate, 332 00:18:51,920 --> 00:18:55,400 Speaker 1: but what that would suggest is there are massive amounts 333 00:18:55,400 --> 00:18:59,000 Speaker 1: of independent voters out there to be gobbled up. You know, 334 00:18:59,040 --> 00:19:03,800 Speaker 1: the last time Republicans one independent voters in an election 335 00:19:04,640 --> 00:19:09,320 Speaker 1: two thou sixteen, Trump did oh Trump won independent voters 336 00:19:11,200 --> 00:19:14,880 Speaker 1: in order to win. In twenty twenty four, it's all 337 00:19:14,920 --> 00:19:17,119 Speaker 1: going to be decided by independent voters. So that's across 338 00:19:17,160 --> 00:19:20,360 Speaker 1: the board nationally. That's popular vote one independent voters. That's 339 00:19:20,359 --> 00:19:24,439 Speaker 1: a very statistic twenty sixteen. So if you think about that, 340 00:19:24,600 --> 00:19:27,560 Speaker 1: everybody out there listening right now, what I'm always and 341 00:19:27,600 --> 00:19:29,200 Speaker 1: this is what my book that's coming out in August 342 00:19:29,320 --> 00:19:31,119 Speaker 1: is all about. What I'm all about is trying to 343 00:19:31,119 --> 00:19:34,760 Speaker 1: figure out a way to win. The single biggest vulnerability 344 00:19:34,760 --> 00:19:36,960 Speaker 1: of Joe Biden. And this goes no matter how old 345 00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:39,719 Speaker 1: you are listening to us. Out there is his age, 346 00:19:40,520 --> 00:19:44,600 Speaker 1: and that becomes more apparent the more he speaks. And 347 00:19:44,680 --> 00:19:48,400 Speaker 1: it's the one thing buck that he can't address. Right, 348 00:19:48,520 --> 00:19:52,200 Speaker 1: Inflation maybe down by November of twenty is only actually 349 00:19:52,240 --> 00:19:54,320 Speaker 1: gonna get worse, it actually only declines. That's right, it's 350 00:19:54,320 --> 00:19:57,040 Speaker 1: not even a static thing. That's right. Crime can get better, 351 00:19:57,359 --> 00:20:00,520 Speaker 1: the border could get better. They can make that argument. 352 00:20:00,720 --> 00:20:04,080 Speaker 1: He gets worse every single time he speaks, and that 353 00:20:04,240 --> 00:20:06,359 Speaker 1: to me is compelling. I think to independence and I 354 00:20:06,400 --> 00:20:09,960 Speaker 1: know people, you know people, it's you don't want to 355 00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:13,679 Speaker 1: hear certain stuff. I don't know, it's maybe we're just 356 00:20:13,760 --> 00:20:16,040 Speaker 1: in this place where it should be so obvious. What's 357 00:20:16,080 --> 00:20:18,959 Speaker 1: the truth of Biden? Put Look, the guy's president, So 358 00:20:19,119 --> 00:20:21,080 Speaker 1: things that are true about him now we're true dead 359 00:20:21,119 --> 00:20:23,879 Speaker 1: and look where we are. But you know, if you 360 00:20:23,920 --> 00:20:26,239 Speaker 1: have an eighty two year old against the seventy eight 361 00:20:26,280 --> 00:20:29,880 Speaker 1: year old on that stage, it just it neutralizes this 362 00:20:30,119 --> 00:20:33,920 Speaker 1: that's independent concern. Now I'm open to the argument that 363 00:20:33,920 --> 00:20:36,080 Speaker 1: that it doesn't matter and that you know, Trump is 364 00:20:36,119 --> 00:20:39,640 Speaker 1: still just you know, he lost by tens of thousands 365 00:20:39,640 --> 00:20:44,000 Speaker 1: of votes. Whatever, put aside, whatever someone thinks about twenty twenty. 366 00:20:44,040 --> 00:20:45,840 Speaker 1: You know, it was a very narrow margin by the 367 00:20:45,880 --> 00:20:49,159 Speaker 1: numbers that we have the last time around. And you 368 00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:51,560 Speaker 1: sit here and you say to yourself, all right, well, 369 00:20:51,800 --> 00:20:54,200 Speaker 1: you know who is best positioned for this, who is 370 00:20:54,240 --> 00:20:58,560 Speaker 1: best positioned to show those independent voters, Republicans, Democrats, We're 371 00:20:58,560 --> 00:21:00,280 Speaker 1: all in. We are. We already know. I know who 372 00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:02,119 Speaker 1: I'm going to vote for, right, I'm just like you, 373 00:21:02,320 --> 00:21:06,040 Speaker 1: voting for the Republican nominee. If it's Donald Trump, God bless, 374 00:21:06,119 --> 00:21:08,880 Speaker 1: that's fantastic. It's if it's somebody else. That's why I'll 375 00:21:08,880 --> 00:21:12,400 Speaker 1: be casting my support behind, you know, in the general election. 376 00:21:14,080 --> 00:21:16,320 Speaker 1: But you know, you look at Joe Biden. I think 377 00:21:16,320 --> 00:21:19,560 Speaker 1: that the Democrat Party has set itself up so that 378 00:21:20,080 --> 00:21:24,080 Speaker 1: he is still, for their purposes advantageous. Remember there's the 379 00:21:24,080 --> 00:21:28,320 Speaker 1: connection to Barack Obama's administration for eight years. He's really 380 00:21:28,359 --> 00:21:32,920 Speaker 1: been a continuation of Obamasm for his first term. He's 381 00:21:32,960 --> 00:21:35,760 Speaker 1: not the brains, you know, Biden's not the brains behind it. 382 00:21:35,800 --> 00:21:38,600 Speaker 1: But it doesn't matter. He's the figurehead. You see, who 383 00:21:38,600 --> 00:21:40,119 Speaker 1: else has thrown their hat in the ring. On the 384 00:21:40,160 --> 00:21:45,199 Speaker 1: Republican side, you've got Trump Nicky Haley. I have to 385 00:21:45,280 --> 00:21:48,560 Speaker 1: think that she's running to be Trump's vice president in 386 00:21:48,600 --> 00:21:52,720 Speaker 1: her mind. That's the move. Vivek Ramas swammy. I like Vivek. 387 00:21:52,760 --> 00:21:55,320 Speaker 1: He's a nice guy. I think he has to be 388 00:21:55,400 --> 00:21:59,960 Speaker 1: running for Treasury secretary in a Trump administration. I don't mean, 389 00:22:00,040 --> 00:22:02,080 Speaker 1: you know, no disrespect. I'm just that's what I think 390 00:22:02,160 --> 00:22:06,159 Speaker 1: is happening. Asa Hutchinson just wants some friends he's running. 391 00:22:06,240 --> 00:22:09,119 Speaker 1: He just wants people to be like, hey, there's Asa. Hi. 392 00:22:09,240 --> 00:22:11,600 Speaker 1: I would get more votes than Asa Hutchinson, So I 393 00:22:11,600 --> 00:22:15,719 Speaker 1: don't know. I would destroy Asa Hutchinson in the Republican primary. Yeah, 394 00:22:15,760 --> 00:22:18,440 Speaker 1: and you know, and I wouldn't come close to winning. 395 00:22:18,440 --> 00:22:20,280 Speaker 1: By the way, it's not me bragging, that's me saying 396 00:22:20,280 --> 00:22:22,560 Speaker 1: this dude has zero percent chance. And then you've got 397 00:22:22,600 --> 00:22:25,600 Speaker 1: some others who are basically on the precipice of running. 398 00:22:26,920 --> 00:22:32,040 Speaker 1: Senator Scott just declared or has a exploratory committee, so 399 00:22:32,119 --> 00:22:34,359 Speaker 1: we think he's gonna get in. But I know also 400 00:22:34,840 --> 00:22:36,879 Speaker 1: would be in a very strong position to be a 401 00:22:36,960 --> 00:22:42,159 Speaker 1: vice president. Mike Pompeo very what is so Pompeo has 402 00:22:42,200 --> 00:22:45,639 Speaker 1: already been secretary of State, already been CIA director. I 403 00:22:45,680 --> 00:22:48,000 Speaker 1: don't know, Maybe he wants me secretary of State again. Possible. 404 00:22:48,440 --> 00:22:51,840 Speaker 1: He's a very sharp guy. He's a smart dude, number 405 00:22:51,840 --> 00:22:53,600 Speaker 1: one in his class at West Point. You know, you 406 00:22:53,640 --> 00:22:56,280 Speaker 1: look at him, he's this is a guy who's who's 407 00:22:56,680 --> 00:23:01,600 Speaker 1: got a high level of cognition and strategic thinking. You know. Also, 408 00:23:01,640 --> 00:23:03,520 Speaker 1: obviously there's Pence and descentists. We talk about them a 409 00:23:03,560 --> 00:23:05,160 Speaker 1: little bit more. We'll talk about them in a second. 410 00:23:05,600 --> 00:23:09,000 Speaker 1: What is Pompeo's play here from your perspective, Like, does 411 00:23:09,040 --> 00:23:13,960 Speaker 1: he actually think he might just you know, the Trump descentists, ruckis, 412 00:23:13,960 --> 00:23:16,320 Speaker 1: may take them both out, and then you're gonna have 413 00:23:16,400 --> 00:23:20,000 Speaker 1: just Mike's the last guy standing. Like, what's the play there? Well, 414 00:23:20,040 --> 00:23:21,919 Speaker 1: I think you have to keep in mind all of 415 00:23:21,960 --> 00:23:24,800 Speaker 1: these people are surrounded by apparatus who tell them that 416 00:23:24,840 --> 00:23:27,640 Speaker 1: they're the next president of the United States. So there's 417 00:23:27,760 --> 00:23:30,280 Speaker 1: very few people out there who are in the political 418 00:23:30,320 --> 00:23:32,720 Speaker 1: business and they one hundred percent tell the truth. And 419 00:23:32,800 --> 00:23:35,000 Speaker 1: I don't mean just candidates, I mean the people who 420 00:23:35,080 --> 00:23:38,639 Speaker 1: work for the candidates. They have to constantly be pumping 421 00:23:38,720 --> 00:23:41,879 Speaker 1: all these guys up and girls with the idea that 422 00:23:41,920 --> 00:23:44,080 Speaker 1: you're going to be president, because by the way, the 423 00:23:44,200 --> 00:23:47,440 Speaker 1: staff all wants the cache of working for the president, 424 00:23:47,560 --> 00:23:51,000 Speaker 1: so they're self interested in building up there. I think 425 00:23:51,040 --> 00:23:54,760 Speaker 1: Pompeo thinks that he could catch fire on the debate stage, 426 00:23:54,760 --> 00:23:57,840 Speaker 1: and actually, because your point, he has no other reason 427 00:23:57,920 --> 00:24:01,400 Speaker 1: to run. He's already had the jobs you're I think 428 00:24:01,400 --> 00:24:03,840 Speaker 1: a point on vic Ramaswami is correct. If he could 429 00:24:03,880 --> 00:24:06,479 Speaker 1: be Secretary of the Treasury, that's a huge win. If 430 00:24:06,600 --> 00:24:09,560 Speaker 1: Nicky Haley or Tim Scott get elevated to vice president, 431 00:24:09,600 --> 00:24:11,840 Speaker 1: that's a big win for them. I don't think Mike 432 00:24:11,920 --> 00:24:15,040 Speaker 1: Mumpeo would have a great desire to be Donald Trump's 433 00:24:15,240 --> 00:24:18,920 Speaker 1: vice president, having been Secretary of State and CIA, where 434 00:24:18,960 --> 00:24:22,560 Speaker 1: you have more autonomy. Right, it's not an awful spot. 435 00:24:23,200 --> 00:24:26,040 Speaker 1: But I think that he believes that he has an 436 00:24:26,080 --> 00:24:28,800 Speaker 1: angle in the same way that somebody's telling Chris Christie, hey, 437 00:24:28,840 --> 00:24:31,040 Speaker 1: if you run, you're the truth teller, you can take 438 00:24:31,080 --> 00:24:34,160 Speaker 1: Trump out. All of them have hypemen, you know, boxing, 439 00:24:34,600 --> 00:24:37,080 Speaker 1: you walk into the ring and there's all those dudes 440 00:24:37,119 --> 00:24:40,320 Speaker 1: that are around you that really have no role, and 441 00:24:40,359 --> 00:24:42,520 Speaker 1: they just kind of sit there and they hype you up. 442 00:24:42,840 --> 00:24:44,760 Speaker 1: I remember the entourage when I was at the Super 443 00:24:44,760 --> 00:24:48,280 Speaker 1: Bowl of some of these boxers that were getting ready 444 00:24:48,320 --> 00:24:51,720 Speaker 1: to fight. Whether it's was it Tyson beck a test, 445 00:24:51,760 --> 00:24:54,399 Speaker 1: Tyson Beckfords and model Tyson Gay whoever those guys are. 446 00:24:54,840 --> 00:24:59,119 Speaker 1: They all come in and they can they are surrounded 447 00:24:59,160 --> 00:25:01,880 Speaker 1: by people who hype them up. It's basically the political 448 00:25:01,920 --> 00:25:04,560 Speaker 1: process every day. I just I think it's interesting to 449 00:25:04,600 --> 00:25:08,200 Speaker 1: see there's clearly positioning going on here. One thing, I'll 450 00:25:08,240 --> 00:25:12,240 Speaker 1: just add this into the mix about Pompeo. He is 451 00:25:12,800 --> 00:25:16,800 Speaker 1: I don't know if there's anyone else, not including Trump 452 00:25:16,840 --> 00:25:22,760 Speaker 1: family members, who was operating at the same seniority and 453 00:25:22,960 --> 00:25:27,480 Speaker 1: connectivity to Donald Trump, who managed to stay on his 454 00:25:27,600 --> 00:25:31,440 Speaker 1: good side and have a positive relationship. Now is that 455 00:25:31,480 --> 00:25:33,919 Speaker 1: going to continue if he continues the run though? You 456 00:25:33,920 --> 00:25:35,639 Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, like, are they Because to me, 457 00:25:35,680 --> 00:25:37,440 Speaker 1: if they're not going to attack each other, then it's 458 00:25:37,480 --> 00:25:39,960 Speaker 1: just Mike and Trump are effectively going to be on 459 00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:42,200 Speaker 1: the same team. It's a good question the same ticket 460 00:25:42,240 --> 00:25:44,200 Speaker 1: in some capacity down the line. That's what I would say. 461 00:25:44,280 --> 00:25:47,439 Speaker 1: My argument would be Trump wants as many people in 462 00:25:47,440 --> 00:25:50,960 Speaker 1: the race as possible. Yep. So that's why I would 463 00:25:51,040 --> 00:25:53,639 Speaker 1: say if Tim Scott gets in, if Nicky Haley gets in, 464 00:25:53,680 --> 00:25:57,399 Speaker 1: if Mike Pence gets in, all the Trump third, the 465 00:25:57,520 --> 00:25:59,720 Speaker 1: thirty three percent of people that will go to the 466 00:25:59,760 --> 00:26:03,680 Speaker 1: wall all for Trump are there. The more people who run, 467 00:26:03,960 --> 00:26:06,960 Speaker 1: the more it's like twenty sixteen, and the more his 468 00:26:07,280 --> 00:26:10,760 Speaker 1: solid core guarantees him the nomination. So if I'm Trump, 469 00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:13,440 Speaker 1: I'm looking around. I'm saying, if Deronda Santis is getting 470 00:26:13,440 --> 00:26:15,760 Speaker 1: in and we're going toe to toe, I want twenty 471 00:26:15,800 --> 00:26:18,720 Speaker 1: Republicans in. Asa Hutchinson's going to be in the place 472 00:26:18,720 --> 00:26:21,000 Speaker 1: that the guy from Succession is like, I don't want 473 00:26:21,040 --> 00:26:23,960 Speaker 1: my one percent to drop my one percent. We got 474 00:26:23,960 --> 00:26:25,840 Speaker 1: to spend more money to keep it. And then cousin 475 00:26:25,880 --> 00:26:29,600 Speaker 1: Greg goes you could drop, you know, basically like the bottom. Yeah, 476 00:26:29,760 --> 00:26:34,320 Speaker 1: where do you go from there? That's by Succession, episode three, 477 00:26:34,680 --> 00:26:38,359 Speaker 1: season four, phenomenal.

Still watching 505 00:28:05,080 --> 00:28:06,800 Speaker 1: like we're down here in South Florida, and I keep 506 00:28:06,840 --> 00:28:09,120 Speaker 1: looking over my shoulder as they talk about this historic 507 00:28:09,440 --> 00:28:13,040 Speaker 1: flood that I just blithely drew drove into last night, 508 00:28:13,640 --> 00:28:15,600 Speaker 1: and you know, next thing I know, there's like ten 509 00:28:15,600 --> 00:28:18,920 Speaker 1: feet of water on both sides of me. You can't trust. 510 00:28:18,960 --> 00:28:21,600 Speaker 1: I felt like, do you remember in the office when 511 00:28:21,760 --> 00:28:24,639 Speaker 1: I think it's Michael Scott trusts his garment back in 512 00:28:24,680 --> 00:28:26,720 Speaker 1: the day so much that he just drives into the 513 00:28:26,800 --> 00:28:29,280 Speaker 1: lake because it tells him like that's the way he 514 00:28:29,320 --> 00:28:32,480 Speaker 1: needs to go. That's what I felt like in Fort 515 00:28:32,560 --> 00:28:35,119 Speaker 1: Lauderdale last night, where it was like, just go straight 516 00:28:35,119 --> 00:28:37,280 Speaker 1: on this road. Now I'm following it. I pull up 517 00:28:37,280 --> 00:28:39,040 Speaker 1: and there's ten feet of water. It looks like a 518 00:28:39,120 --> 00:28:41,120 Speaker 1: lake or a river all of a sudden in front 519 00:28:41,120 --> 00:28:42,720 Speaker 1: of me, and I'm looking like the apps were not 520 00:28:42,840 --> 00:28:46,520 Speaker 1: my friends, Ways, Google Maps, all that stuff that you 521 00:28:46,560 --> 00:28:50,360 Speaker 1: would usually use for navigation purposes. They totally failed me. 522 00:28:50,880 --> 00:28:53,520 Speaker 1: We got some breaking news for you. The Pentagon is 523 00:28:53,560 --> 00:28:57,520 Speaker 1: going to have a briefing soon certainly, these leaked documents 524 00:28:57,560 --> 00:29:00,719 Speaker 1: as it pertains to Ukraine and Russia, which were posted 525 00:29:00,720 --> 00:29:04,840 Speaker 1: on the discord app, have turned into a major embarrassment 526 00:29:04,920 --> 00:29:08,720 Speaker 1: for the country. Fox News reporter Jennifer Griffin, who does 527 00:29:08,760 --> 00:29:12,920 Speaker 1: a great job keeping people apprised on Pentagon related issues, 528 00:29:13,640 --> 00:29:16,760 Speaker 1: shared this information just a little bit ago. Listen. The 529 00:29:16,800 --> 00:29:19,360 Speaker 1: New York Times has identified the leaker as twenty one 530 00:29:19,440 --> 00:29:23,320 Speaker 1: year old Jack Tahara of the one hundred and second 531 00:29:23,600 --> 00:29:27,440 Speaker 1: Intelligence Wing of the Massachusetts Air National Guard. Te Sarah 532 00:29:28,080 --> 00:29:31,120 Speaker 1: reportedly worked the overnight shift at a base on Cape 533 00:29:31,200 --> 00:29:34,240 Speaker 1: cod and was promoted to Airman first class last July. 534 00:29:34,440 --> 00:29:37,520 Speaker 1: The Washington Post managed to track down and interview a 535 00:29:37,560 --> 00:29:41,200 Speaker 1: member of the online chat group that Texarah led for 536 00:29:41,280 --> 00:29:43,840 Speaker 1: the past few years, and he claims that he is 537 00:29:43,880 --> 00:29:48,000 Speaker 1: a Russian operative or pro Russian is categorically false. He 538 00:29:48,160 --> 00:29:53,280 Speaker 1: is not interested in helping any foreign agencies with their 539 00:29:53,680 --> 00:29:56,440 Speaker 1: attack on the US or other countries. He was a young, 540 00:29:56,560 --> 00:30:02,880 Speaker 1: charismatic man who loved nature, God, who loved shooting guns 541 00:30:02,960 --> 00:30:06,720 Speaker 1: and in racing cars. Okay, buck, So when I hear this, 542 00:30:07,400 --> 00:30:11,160 Speaker 1: how in the world you had a security clearance, top 543 00:30:11,240 --> 00:30:14,520 Speaker 1: secret clearance? When I hear who this guy is that 544 00:30:14,600 --> 00:30:17,640 Speaker 1: they think he may be a suspect. Am I crazy? 545 00:30:17,680 --> 00:30:19,560 Speaker 1: It doesn't add up to me that he would have 546 00:30:19,720 --> 00:30:22,040 Speaker 1: access to these documents in the first place. How would 547 00:30:22,040 --> 00:30:24,560 Speaker 1: he have gotten them? Well, if he worked for military 548 00:30:24,560 --> 00:30:29,200 Speaker 1: intelligence and he had a TS level clearance, he probably 549 00:30:29,240 --> 00:30:31,360 Speaker 1: would have access to it. A lot of this stuff 550 00:30:31,480 --> 00:30:34,680 Speaker 1: is on you know, it's all electronically access now, right, 551 00:30:34,720 --> 00:30:38,200 Speaker 1: so it's on databases on the military side, and you know, 552 00:30:38,240 --> 00:30:40,200 Speaker 1: there's a There's a few things that come to mind 553 00:30:40,200 --> 00:30:43,920 Speaker 1: for me about this, and one is it's really hard 554 00:30:44,040 --> 00:30:48,200 Speaker 1: to keep anything secret for very long in the culture 555 00:30:48,200 --> 00:30:50,480 Speaker 1: we live in now, because you have so many people 556 00:30:50,480 --> 00:30:57,800 Speaker 1: who have access to classified information. The government inshanely overclassifies information, 557 00:30:57,840 --> 00:30:59,560 Speaker 1: so you kind of you you kind of become a 558 00:30:59,560 --> 00:31:03,240 Speaker 1: little um to classification when you're working with it in 559 00:31:03,360 --> 00:31:07,400 Speaker 1: some ways, because you know, the things that are marked 560 00:31:07,440 --> 00:31:09,680 Speaker 1: super super secret are pretty secret, but when you go 561 00:31:09,720 --> 00:31:11,880 Speaker 1: down the line, you know they're secret and confidential and 562 00:31:11,920 --> 00:31:13,840 Speaker 1: all these things. You look at this you say, is 563 00:31:13,880 --> 00:31:16,080 Speaker 1: this even really that secret? And so for some people, 564 00:31:16,120 --> 00:31:19,200 Speaker 1: I think they can decide for themselves. Most people are 565 00:31:19,240 --> 00:31:21,800 Speaker 1: super paranoid who have a clearance because the penalties are 566 00:31:21,840 --> 00:31:24,600 Speaker 1: so severe you would posted on a social media app 567 00:31:24,720 --> 00:31:26,800 Speaker 1: and let your friends look at it. That's begging to 568 00:31:26,840 --> 00:31:29,040 Speaker 1: go to Leavenworth for you know, the next ten years. 569 00:31:28,840 --> 00:31:32,120 Speaker 1: That's what that is. And you know if this individual, look, 570 00:31:32,120 --> 00:31:35,400 Speaker 1: it's alleged right now, it's very early stage, but anybody 571 00:31:35,480 --> 00:31:39,320 Speaker 1: posting this stuff, I'd be curious to hear what the 572 00:31:40,040 --> 00:31:42,560 Speaker 1: rationale was for it. I mean, at some point, I think, 573 00:31:42,640 --> 00:31:46,120 Speaker 1: unfortunately the people that have leaked information. There are the 574 00:31:46,160 --> 00:31:50,680 Speaker 1: people who, you know, there's the Snowden kind of classified 575 00:31:50,760 --> 00:31:55,280 Speaker 1: league where he clearly did it for ideological reasons and 576 00:31:55,360 --> 00:31:59,240 Speaker 1: he wanted to expose something that the government was doing 577 00:31:59,600 --> 00:32:02,400 Speaker 1: that is really problematic for a lot of people. Right 578 00:32:02,480 --> 00:32:05,880 Speaker 1: that was Snowdon's like, I need I have a reason 579 00:32:05,920 --> 00:32:08,600 Speaker 1: for doing this that you know he believes is honestly, 580 00:32:09,040 --> 00:32:13,040 Speaker 1: you know, it's it's the right reason. Then there are 581 00:32:13,040 --> 00:32:15,760 Speaker 1: the people who just I think, become a little intoxicated 582 00:32:15,760 --> 00:32:18,560 Speaker 1: with I have access I know stuff other people don't know, 583 00:32:18,640 --> 00:32:21,800 Speaker 1: and I have access to this high level secret information, 584 00:32:22,480 --> 00:32:25,480 Speaker 1: and I just it's kind of just like somebody who 585 00:32:25,520 --> 00:32:27,600 Speaker 1: wants to see if they can tie all the fireworks 586 00:32:27,600 --> 00:32:29,560 Speaker 1: together and light them off at once. Just because you 587 00:32:29,600 --> 00:32:31,760 Speaker 1: know it's like, is that a good idea? Like we've 588 00:32:31,800 --> 00:32:34,480 Speaker 1: all got one of those friends, you know, yeah, do 589 00:32:34,520 --> 00:32:37,240 Speaker 1: you want to tie like twenty m eights together and 590 00:32:37,280 --> 00:32:39,880 Speaker 1: then have one fuse? Like are you sure they just 591 00:32:40,040 --> 00:32:43,080 Speaker 1: decide that they're going to do this? And you know, 592 00:32:43,160 --> 00:32:46,800 Speaker 1: we we're talking about an active, very serious war. You know, 593 00:32:46,840 --> 00:32:50,600 Speaker 1: this isn't like somebody released classified files about the JFK assassination, 594 00:32:50,640 --> 00:32:52,240 Speaker 1: which you know to this day, the fact that they're 595 00:32:52,280 --> 00:32:55,360 Speaker 1: still classified stuff about that is crazy. This is an 596 00:32:55,360 --> 00:32:58,600 Speaker 1: active war zone. And you know, you take what you're serving, 597 00:32:58,600 --> 00:33:01,840 Speaker 1: the military, serving the intelligence community. You take an oath 598 00:33:02,680 --> 00:33:04,920 Speaker 1: yes to the Constitution, and you take an oath to 599 00:33:05,000 --> 00:33:08,960 Speaker 1: defend us against all enemies foreign and domestic. But you 600 00:33:09,040 --> 00:33:12,080 Speaker 1: also promise the people around you, and you sign things 601 00:33:12,080 --> 00:33:15,400 Speaker 1: that say, basically, I swear I'm not going to burn 602 00:33:15,480 --> 00:33:17,560 Speaker 1: you guys and burn the faith that you put in me. 603 00:33:18,280 --> 00:33:21,920 Speaker 1: So you have to argue, you'd have to argue that 604 00:33:22,120 --> 00:33:26,960 Speaker 1: releasing this classified information is so important and the informations 605 00:33:27,000 --> 00:33:30,320 Speaker 1: that such a high threshold that you being a liar 606 00:33:30,360 --> 00:33:35,600 Speaker 1: and possibly engaging endangering national security and also betraying the 607 00:33:35,640 --> 00:33:38,880 Speaker 1: people that you work with is somehow still valid. Now, 608 00:33:39,080 --> 00:33:41,600 Speaker 1: there are times when people will argue that, and I 609 00:33:41,640 --> 00:33:43,760 Speaker 1: think there can even be sometimes when that argument is 610 00:33:43,760 --> 00:33:47,640 Speaker 1: pretty strong. On this, I don't see yet what the 611 00:33:47,680 --> 00:33:50,360 Speaker 1: purpose is unless he's going to say it's to show 612 00:33:50,360 --> 00:33:53,040 Speaker 1: people that, and we don't know, right we haven't. I'm 613 00:33:53,040 --> 00:33:55,560 Speaker 1: surmising here we have no idea. If he says it's 614 00:33:55,600 --> 00:33:59,840 Speaker 1: to show how difficult the US position is. Viz. If 615 00:34:00,200 --> 00:34:03,960 Speaker 1: supporting Ukraine against the Russian the Russian b a myth, 616 00:34:04,440 --> 00:34:07,680 Speaker 1: well that's there are ways to do that without possibly 617 00:34:07,720 --> 00:34:09,960 Speaker 1: exposing sources and methods online. I mean, I think this 618 00:34:10,040 --> 00:34:13,040 Speaker 1: is just a kid trying to impress his friends. This 619 00:34:13,160 --> 00:34:16,799 Speaker 1: is like a digital anarcho. Recklessness is essentially what I 620 00:34:16,840 --> 00:34:20,000 Speaker 1: think the real motivation is behind this league. I don't 621 00:34:20,040 --> 00:34:23,279 Speaker 1: see the political justification for I could be wrong. We 622 00:34:23,320 --> 00:34:25,359 Speaker 1: could update this, but that's what I see right now. Yeah, 623 00:34:25,440 --> 00:34:27,439 Speaker 1: that data does seem like it's going to Square again 624 00:34:27,520 --> 00:34:32,080 Speaker 1: Pentagon update to be had soon, But it seems like 625 00:34:32,160 --> 00:34:34,560 Speaker 1: the fact that he's posting it on a Discord channel 626 00:34:34,600 --> 00:34:37,160 Speaker 1: to begin with. I only know Discord. Have you ever 627 00:34:37,160 --> 00:34:39,600 Speaker 1: been on Discord? No? No? Isn't it for? Is it 628 00:34:39,719 --> 00:34:41,399 Speaker 1: like video game stuff? A lot of the time people 629 00:34:41,480 --> 00:34:44,759 Speaker 1: livestream video games on it. Oh, well, that's that may 630 00:34:44,800 --> 00:34:48,600 Speaker 1: be true. My fifteen year old is on Discord with 631 00:34:48,640 --> 00:34:51,600 Speaker 1: a lot of his high school friends, and so I've 632 00:34:51,640 --> 00:34:54,040 Speaker 1: only been on because it's one of his favorite ways 633 00:34:54,080 --> 00:34:57,839 Speaker 1: to communicate with his mom and I. Sometimes when he's 634 00:34:57,840 --> 00:35:00,200 Speaker 1: away at camp, for instance, we've been communicating with them 635 00:35:00,239 --> 00:35:02,960 Speaker 1: on Discord. So my point on that is, again I 636 00:35:03,000 --> 00:35:06,080 Speaker 1: have limited experience. We've been thinking of Twitch. Yeah, I 637 00:35:06,120 --> 00:35:08,400 Speaker 1: don't even Wow, that's a real you're good to be 638 00:35:08,400 --> 00:35:11,399 Speaker 1: at all, getting real deep millennial gray hairs over here. 639 00:35:11,719 --> 00:35:13,960 Speaker 1: I wouldn't have even heard of Discord. But it's basically 640 00:35:14,000 --> 00:35:17,600 Speaker 1: like a glorified message board, but where you control in 641 00:35:17,680 --> 00:35:21,960 Speaker 1: some way who you're communicating with. And so this feels 642 00:35:21,960 --> 00:35:24,000 Speaker 1: to me just based on that and the way it 643 00:35:24,040 --> 00:35:27,040 Speaker 1: was posted and the fact Buck this was evidently public 644 00:35:27,160 --> 00:35:32,440 Speaker 1: online for weeks, maybe even months before it got noticed, 645 00:35:32,719 --> 00:35:35,320 Speaker 1: which means it's kind of in a private communication, almost 646 00:35:35,400 --> 00:35:38,200 Speaker 1: like a group chat more than anything else. By the way, 647 00:35:38,200 --> 00:35:41,040 Speaker 1: we got a good call here as we roll through 648 00:35:41,080 --> 00:35:43,920 Speaker 1: our number two, Jordan in North Carolina, what you got 649 00:35:43,920 --> 00:35:48,480 Speaker 1: for us? Jordan? What's up? Guys?

You know, Clay, I'll throw one out 695 00:37:52,320 --> 00:37:53,880 Speaker 1: there to you, all right, because you were in that 696 00:37:53,920 --> 00:37:56,880 Speaker 1: tropical environment and we've discussed I've seen I've seen you know, 697 00:37:56,920 --> 00:38:02,480 Speaker 1: sewer rats that legitimately it looked like they were a 698 00:38:02,520 --> 00:38:05,440 Speaker 1: small dog. Um if you have a big if you 699 00:38:05,520 --> 00:38:08,719 Speaker 1: have a big rat or a big furry tarantula in 700 00:38:08,760 --> 00:38:11,600 Speaker 1: the house, which is ah I mean like home alone 701 00:38:12,200 --> 00:38:14,200 Speaker 1: style big, I mean one of the ones that jumps 702 00:38:14,239 --> 00:38:18,400 Speaker 1: off the tree and eats the birds. So my wife 703 00:38:18,480 --> 00:38:21,920 Speaker 1: is super afraid of spiders. I've never really been as 704 00:38:21,960 --> 00:38:25,720 Speaker 1: scared of spider guy. To me, the rat that's allowed 705 00:38:25,760 --> 00:38:29,680 Speaker 1: to come from the tree is like a different level 706 00:38:29,719 --> 00:38:31,719 Speaker 1: of danger because one thing, when you're like used to 707 00:38:31,800 --> 00:38:33,680 Speaker 1: rats that are kind of running around on the ground. 708 00:38:34,000 --> 00:38:36,520 Speaker 1: But the idea that if a rat wanted to he 709 00:38:36,560 --> 00:38:39,960 Speaker 1: could be above you in a tree and leap on you, 710 00:38:40,280 --> 00:38:43,080 Speaker 1: that seems like an unfair advantage for the rat, like 711 00:38:43,120 --> 00:38:46,680 Speaker 1: he shouldn't have air superiority over a human. And the 712 00:38:46,719 --> 00:38:48,880 Speaker 1: fact that that rat could come in through the tree 713 00:38:49,360 --> 00:38:51,680 Speaker 1: I'm not gonna lie. I was rattled the whole rest 714 00:38:51,680 --> 00:38:54,160 Speaker 1: of the time, like looking around like it's like down here, 715 00:38:54,160 --> 00:38:57,120 Speaker 1: you know, iguanas can get in trees fall out, of course, 716 00:38:57,280 --> 00:38:58,920 Speaker 1: Like that doesn't seem like it should be fair either. 717 00:38:58,960 --> 00:39:00,279 Speaker 1: You don't want to pick a fight with the red 718 00:39:00,320 --> 00:39:02,320 Speaker 1: who can call in close air support from his buddies. 719 00:39:02,400 --> 00:39:07,160 Speaker 1: That is true, you know it's not good. Families will 720 00:39:07,200 --> 00:39:09,480 Speaker 1: make lots of home videos, likely have a stockpile of 721 00:39:09,560 --> 00:39:12,160 Speaker 1: videotape someplace in the home.
