1
00:00:00,800 --> 00:00:03,960
Speaker 1: Welcome back in hour number two Clay Travis buck Sexton

2
00:00:04,080 --> 00:00:07,240
Speaker 1: Show Wednesday edition of the program. Senator Ran Paul will

3
00:00:07,320 --> 00:00:10,760
Speaker 1: join us on the bottom of the program here at

4
00:00:10,760 --> 00:00:14,360
Speaker 1: the bottom of the hour, about one thirty five on

5
00:00:14,440 --> 00:00:17,200
Speaker 1: the East Coast, and we may have some fireworks coming

6
00:00:17,320 --> 00:00:18,080
Speaker 1: out of that.

7
00:00:18,320 --> 00:00:20,239
Speaker 2: We have got a bunch of.

8
00:00:20,320 --> 00:00:25,599
Speaker 1: Different storylines that are worth paying attention to. But Buck,

9
00:00:25,680 --> 00:00:28,880
Speaker 1: I wanted to start there. Seems to be I know

10
00:00:28,920 --> 00:00:33,519
Speaker 1: we haven't talked much about Iran lately, but meaning in

11
00:00:33,560 --> 00:00:37,040
Speaker 1: the first hour, we've talked a lot about Iran over

12
00:00:37,400 --> 00:00:44,519
Speaker 1: the past couple of weeks. The degree to which Israel

13
00:00:44,840 --> 00:00:51,239
Speaker 1: has infiltrated the top echelon of the Iranian leadership. They

14
00:00:51,240 --> 00:00:54,200
Speaker 1: took out another couple of guys overnight. Not a good

15
00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:59,200
Speaker 1: time to be an Iranian leadership. And Buck, did.

16
00:00:59,040 --> 00:00:59,920
Speaker 2: You see this story?

17
00:01:00,440 --> 00:01:05,120
Speaker 1: I read this as a New York Times that top

18
00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:11,120
Speaker 1: Masad agents are now calling Iranian leaders and saying we

19
00:01:11,240 --> 00:01:14,520
Speaker 1: know who you are, we know where you are, and

20
00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:19,040
Speaker 1: we will kill you if you do not immediately stop

21
00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:21,480
Speaker 1: supporting this government.

22
00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:25,520
Speaker 2: And they are now able to.

23
00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:28,840
Speaker 1: I mean, can you imagine what that's like with everything

24
00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:32,400
Speaker 1: going on, to have your phone ring pick it up,

25
00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:35,600
Speaker 1: and it's a Masad agent and he's saying, hey, just

26
00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:37,959
Speaker 1: want you to know we know exactly where you are,

27
00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:41,759
Speaker 1: and we are willing and able to take you out.

28
00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:43,560
Speaker 1: And I saw, and I was reading in the Wall

29
00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:46,479
Speaker 1: Street Journal this and I thought you would appreciate this,

30
00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:51,960
Speaker 1: the degree to which Israel is able to now target individuals.

31
00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:56,960
Speaker 1: One of the guys was killed sleeping in a tent

32
00:01:57,880 --> 00:02:02,400
Speaker 1: in a park where he thought he could not be found,

33
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:05,920
Speaker 1: and they were able here. Sorry, I said, is the

34
00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:08,440
Speaker 1: New York Times. Here is the quote from the Wall

35
00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:12,520
Speaker 1: Street Journal front page story. The journal reviewed the contents

36
00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:16,480
Speaker 1: of one call between a senior Iranian police commander and

37
00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:20,240
Speaker 1: an agent of the Masad. Can you hear me? A

38
00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:23,720
Speaker 1: Masad agent can be heard speaking in FARSI. We know

39
00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:27,400
Speaker 1: everything about you. You are on our blacklist and we

40
00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:30,959
Speaker 1: have all the information about you. Okay, The commander said

41
00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:33,960
Speaker 1: in the recording, I called to warn you in advance

42
00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:37,440
Speaker 1: that you should stand with your people's side, and if

43
00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:40,040
Speaker 1: you do, you will and if you will not do that,

44
00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:42,840
Speaker 1: your destiny will be as your leader.

45
00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:44,040
Speaker 2: Do you hear me?

46
00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:47,079
Speaker 1: And then the man responds, brother, I swear on the

47
00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:48,919
Speaker 1: Qur'an I'm not your enemy.

48
00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:53,400
Speaker 2: I'm a dead man already. Just please come help us.

49
00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:59,400
Speaker 1: I'm curious what you think, just from an operational standpoint,

50
00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:03,080
Speaker 1: that Massad would be so embedded that they would be

51
00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:06,919
Speaker 1: able to be calling individuals and letting them know you're

52
00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:10,560
Speaker 1: next on our list. Impactful, non impactful? How do you

53
00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:11,320
Speaker 1: see this going?

54
00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:15,400
Speaker 3: Well, it shows how much they've mapped out the human

55
00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:19,600
Speaker 3: terrain even inside of Iran and have an understanding of

56
00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:23,120
Speaker 3: command and control, any ability to directly. It's one thing

57
00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:25,359
Speaker 3: to know who's in charge. It's another thing to say, oh,

58
00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:27,720
Speaker 3: you're in charge, whoop, not anymore?

59
00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:29,239
Speaker 2: Who's up next?

60
00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:33,400
Speaker 3: Yes, that's a whole other level of capability in a

61
00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:40,520
Speaker 3: battlefield situation. And I think, will this be you know,

62
00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:42,640
Speaker 3: I don't know. I mean, this is where you get into.

63
00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:45,440
Speaker 3: Do we think that this will be enough to start

64
00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:49,600
Speaker 3: to push things toward a new future for the Iranian people?

65
00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:50,160
Speaker 2: Clay?

66
00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:53,880
Speaker 3: I just I've seen this play out and now you

67
00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:56,800
Speaker 3: could say, well, look what happened in Egypt with the

68
00:03:56,800 --> 00:03:59,360
Speaker 3: Arab Spring. Although that didn't really turn out the way

69
00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:03,680
Speaker 3: everybody was home in some ways, it's possible that this

70
00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:07,720
Speaker 3: starts to have a domino effect it's hard, it's an

71
00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:09,840
Speaker 3: uphill battle. You still have a lot of people that

72
00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:14,080
Speaker 3: are even lower, Like, here's the problem. How far down

73
00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:19,600
Speaker 3: the chain of command do you have ideological hardliners who

74
00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:24,120
Speaker 3: don't want an end to the conflict with Israel. I mean,

75
00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:26,280
Speaker 3: they obviously don't want to get bombed continuously, but you

76
00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:31,760
Speaker 3: know they want to continue the Islamic revolution that Komani began.

77
00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:35,320
Speaker 3: How many how deep does it go? I don't think

78
00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:37,720
Speaker 3: anybody has a really good answer to that. You know, remember,

79
00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:40,440
Speaker 3: this is a country that we haven't had the kind

80
00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:43,680
Speaker 3: of day to day interaction and news coverage with you

81
00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:46,760
Speaker 3: have in a lot of other places. Our insights into

82
00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:49,440
Speaker 3: Iran are always limited by the fact that it's a

83
00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:55,360
Speaker 3: totalitarian molocracy, a dictatorship of sorts, and we don't have

84
00:04:56,200 --> 00:04:58,600
Speaker 3: open access to what's going on, and we haven't for

85
00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:01,039
Speaker 3: what's the matter forty something years.

86
00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:04,640
Speaker 2: So that's where it is right now. I think.

87
00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:08,880
Speaker 3: With the Israelis, a lot of this is also they

88
00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:12,400
Speaker 3: know people that were involved in very bad stuff against Israel.

89
00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:17,040
Speaker 3: They know who was making sure that Hezbollah was trying

90
00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:20,880
Speaker 3: to kidnap or kill Israelis. They know who was working

91
00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:22,880
Speaker 3: with jimas I mean, they have a pretty good sense

92
00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:25,719
Speaker 3: of all of that, and it's score settling time for

93
00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:27,240
Speaker 3: a lot of them after a long time.

94
00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:29,640
Speaker 1: Here's the other part of that article that I wanted

95
00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:31,680
Speaker 1: to hit you with because I did think it was interesting.

96
00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:32,960
Speaker 2: Israel.

97
00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:35,000
Speaker 1: They say this is according to the Wall Street Journal,

98
00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:38,760
Speaker 1: got a tip from ordinary Iranians. They're saying, I don't

99
00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:41,160
Speaker 1: know if this is just disinformation or designed to make

100
00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:45,960
Speaker 1: people even more nervous, that Iranians are now calling in

101
00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:49,839
Speaker 1: location of people in the country to get taken out.

102
00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:54,240
Speaker 1: But the guy's name Sola Miane Solamani. I don't know

103
00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:56,320
Speaker 1: if he's related to the guy that we took out before.

104
00:05:57,080 --> 00:06:00,000
Speaker 1: They say, I'm reading was holding up with his deputy.

105
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:03,760
Speaker 1: He's in a tent in a wooded area in Tehran,

106
00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:08,400
Speaker 1: and they've now taken out so many of the physical

107
00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:11,800
Speaker 1: locations that the guys have gotten nervous about being in

108
00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:16,640
Speaker 1: any sort of intelligence building, right because there's been so

109
00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:18,919
Speaker 1: many of these taken out. Guys hiding out in a

110
00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:22,760
Speaker 1: tent in a park in Iran with his subordinates. They

111
00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:26,760
Speaker 1: took them all out, so he thought, Hey, maybe I

112
00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:30,279
Speaker 1: can just hide out in this tent. Presumably he's trying

113
00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:34,360
Speaker 1: to avoid all detection, and they were still able to

114
00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:37,520
Speaker 1: take him out. And every morning when I wake up,

115
00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:40,839
Speaker 1: I check the news and it feels like Iran has

116
00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:43,920
Speaker 1: had another leader taken out. To your point, I think

117
00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:46,279
Speaker 1: the challenge is how far down do you have to

118
00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:49,960
Speaker 1: go and how long does it take? Right, Because if

119
00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:52,160
Speaker 1: let's say, you have to knock out the first three

120
00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:56,320
Speaker 1: hundred people on the list of commandos before you get

121
00:06:56,360 --> 00:06:59,320
Speaker 1: to people who want to negotiate. I think the Iranian

122
00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:03,280
Speaker 1: perspective is America in particular is going to run out

123
00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:06,680
Speaker 1: of interest in continuing this, and so you just kind

124
00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:10,920
Speaker 1: of have to hold on until the actual attacks end

125
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:14,080
Speaker 1: up ending. Right, That's the I would imagine that's the

126
00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:16,200
Speaker 1: best strategy of the Iranians right now.

127
00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:20,640
Speaker 3: They're really hoping, I mean, the the IRGC and what's

128
00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:24,960
Speaker 3: there of the Iranian regime still in place to whatever

129
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:29,200
Speaker 3: degree that's the case. They're just hoping that domestic political

130
00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:33,600
Speaker 3: pressure helps bring a faster end of this, as in

131
00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:36,800
Speaker 3: Trump doesn't want to burn too much political capital and

132
00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:38,880
Speaker 3: so say all right, we've done it, We've done enough.

133
00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:42,720
Speaker 3: We've showed them whose boss so to speak? What is

134
00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:45,320
Speaker 3: oil now? Clay it just spiked up, right, We and

135
00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:49,120
Speaker 3: the Israelis hit a gas field in Iran. Now, yeah,

136
00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:50,239
Speaker 3: I think that's their.

137
00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:53,160
Speaker 1: Entire goal at this point, is to make the price

138
00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:55,120
Speaker 1: of oil and gas go up high enough that the

139
00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:58,800
Speaker 1: United States decides to pull back. I'm hitting it right now,

140
00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:02,880
Speaker 1: ninety seven dollars a barrel. It got up to one twenty.

141
00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:06,520
Speaker 1: The crude oil futures that I'm looking at right now

142
00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:09,760
Speaker 1: is up about a dollar fifty today at ninety seven dollars.

143
00:08:09,760 --> 00:08:13,840
Speaker 1: It's spiked to one twenty last week. Uh uh, and

144
00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:15,320
Speaker 1: so far it's around ninety seven.

145
00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:17,040
Speaker 3: It was a couple hours ago it was one hundred

146
00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:19,840
Speaker 3: and ten dollars, so according to the journal right now,

147
00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:21,360
Speaker 3: looking at so, I mean, it definitely has had a

148
00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:22,080
Speaker 3: bit of a run up.

149
00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:23,960
Speaker 2: Wow.

150
00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:27,120
Speaker 3: Can you imagine being on an oil trading desk right now,

151
00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:28,760
Speaker 3: you know, oil futures and everything else.

152
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:31,440
Speaker 1: No, every time there's a new tweet, every time there's

153
00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:34,000
Speaker 1: a new tweet, you're reacting to try to figure out

154
00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:39,240
Speaker 1: what the legitimacy of it is, and and and all

155
00:08:39,280 --> 00:08:41,160
Speaker 1: of all of those angles. All right, we told you

156
00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:42,800
Speaker 1: we would play this, So I wanted to update you

157
00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:44,920
Speaker 1: on a ran that is the latest that is going

158
00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:48,440
Speaker 1: on there. Let me hit you with this. This was

159
00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:51,959
Speaker 1: center Mark Wwayne Mullen on this program.

160
00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:52,600
Speaker 2: Let me make sure.

161
00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:55,040
Speaker 1: I want to get the date right. The team went

162
00:08:55,080 --> 00:08:57,200
Speaker 1: and tracked it back down, so we're gonna have.

163
00:08:57,440 --> 00:08:59,160
Speaker 3: Brand throw something out there while you're looking this up.

164
00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:00,880
Speaker 3: I just want everyone to know we're as soon as

165
00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:03,920
Speaker 3: Senator Mullin is through his confirmation hearing, hopefully at that

166
00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:07,080
Speaker 3: point he'll be DHS secretary, or we believe he'll be

167
00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:10,520
Speaker 3: DHS secretary. We'll invite him on the program, want to

168
00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:12,400
Speaker 3: hear about what his priorities will be. And he's welcome

169
00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:16,400
Speaker 3: to also respond to this Senator ran Paul situation. Because

170
00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:19,760
Speaker 3: we're having Senator ram Paul on today, so we're this

171
00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:22,840
Speaker 3: is a big public fight between two Republicans. They both

172
00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:25,280
Speaker 3: should be able to have their say. I think Senator

173
00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:26,719
Speaker 3: ram Paul is going to be a no vote. We'll

174
00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:27,920
Speaker 3: ask him this. I think he's going to be a

175
00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:29,920
Speaker 3: no vote on Mark Wayne Mullen.

176
00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:34,839
Speaker 1: I don't remember Senator Paul taking shots at Mark Wayne

177
00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:37,920
Speaker 1: Mullen on this program. Doesn't mean it didn't happen, but

178
00:09:38,640 --> 00:09:42,040
Speaker 1: this is for sure, Mark Wayne Mullen, this is back.

179
00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:46,600
Speaker 1: The team pulled this November seventeenth, twenty twenty five. I

180
00:09:46,640 --> 00:09:50,280
Speaker 1: remember this conversation vaguely. I'm actually interested to hear it

181
00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:55,120
Speaker 1: as well. Mark Wayne Mullen taking shots at Senator ran

182
00:09:55,280 --> 00:09:59,640
Speaker 1: Paul over drug boat strikes again a few months ago,

183
00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:02,600
Speaker 1: three four months ago, cut thirty.

184
00:10:02,679 --> 00:10:04,520
Speaker 3: I'm going to just pivot back for a second to

185
00:10:05,280 --> 00:10:09,320
Speaker 3: the drug boat strikes twenty one so far over eighty

186
00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:13,640
Speaker 3: people killed. Senator ram Paul, your Republican colleague, is very

187
00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:17,480
Speaker 3: against these. He has recently said things like color.

188
00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:19,800
Speaker 4: Rand as the Republican colleague is pretty loose slipped.

189
00:10:22,679 --> 00:10:24,000
Speaker 2: He is a Republican colleague.

190
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:26,000
Speaker 3: I mean, you know, we can talk about how you

191
00:10:26,040 --> 00:10:29,000
Speaker 3: feel about that, but he definitely is a Republican senator.

192
00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:32,680
Speaker 3: So what do you think about the concerns about legality

193
00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:34,120
Speaker 3: when it comes to these strikes.

194
00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:38,559
Speaker 4: That's well within his constitutional authority to do so. And

195
00:10:39,559 --> 00:10:42,360
Speaker 4: so for Ran Paul to quote that, what I always

196
00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:44,480
Speaker 4: say is say, okay, give me in the constitution where

197
00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:47,280
Speaker 4: it's not in his authority to do that. Pull out

198
00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:49,680
Speaker 4: the part that ram Paul is talking about. But this

199
00:10:49,840 --> 00:10:52,720
Speaker 4: is the same Ram Paul that it doesn't vote with

200
00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:58,120
Speaker 4: Republicans jophen government. He just recently was trying to support

201
00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:05,040
Speaker 4: his plan to THFC levels for consumption in drinks because

202
00:11:05,080 --> 00:11:08,240
Speaker 4: he thought it was good for Kentucky's not joking, good

203
00:11:08,280 --> 00:11:13,400
Speaker 4: for Kentucky's industry, for himp industry. This is the same

204
00:11:13,520 --> 00:11:16,400
Speaker 4: Ram Paul that is constantly looking for an opportunity to

205
00:11:16,520 --> 00:11:19,040
Speaker 4: run against the President of the United States, and so

206
00:11:19,559 --> 00:11:23,120
Speaker 4: he's looking for an opportunity anytime he can to distance himself.

207
00:11:23,559 --> 00:11:25,320
Speaker 4: I would be a lot better off if Ram Paul

208
00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:28,120
Speaker 4: just called himself what he is. He's a libertarian. I'm

209
00:11:28,160 --> 00:11:31,440
Speaker 4: perfectly okay with that. But he can't get elected as

210
00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:34,080
Speaker 4: a libertarian in Kentucky, so he decides to run as

211
00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:38,439
Speaker 4: a Republican. You know, I have more respect for Thomas

212
00:11:38,520 --> 00:11:42,280
Speaker 4: Massey than I do Ram Paul, because at least Thomas

213
00:11:42,280 --> 00:11:45,240
Speaker 4: Matthew owns who he is. Ram Paul is just whoever

214
00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:46,560
Speaker 4: he feels like to be that day.

215
00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:51,240
Speaker 1: So this is again, Buck, I think he nailed it.

216
00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:54,320
Speaker 1: This is not a political disagreement at this point, it's personal.

217
00:11:54,559 --> 00:11:58,840
Speaker 1: So there have been fireworks from the DHS confirmation hearings.

218
00:11:58,920 --> 00:11:59,360
Speaker 2: Ram Paul.

219
00:11:59,400 --> 00:12:02,360
Speaker 1: We played you cuts from that and Senator Paul will

220
00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:04,080
Speaker 1: be with us at the bottom of the hour and

221
00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:07,960
Speaker 1: we'll hear from him what he wants, what he wants

222
00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:10,560
Speaker 1: to say, how he wants to respond, and all of

223
00:12:10,559 --> 00:12:14,680
Speaker 1: you guys can judge that as well. We're just talking

224
00:12:14,679 --> 00:12:18,400
Speaker 1: about the situation that is going on right now in

225
00:12:18,640 --> 00:12:21,600
Speaker 1: the Middle East, in Israel and Iran everywhere, and our

226
00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:24,440
Speaker 1: friends at the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews make

227
00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:27,320
Speaker 1: a tremendous difference when it comes to helping people in

228
00:12:27,360 --> 00:12:30,200
Speaker 1: their time of need, whether it's building new bomb shelters,

229
00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:35,040
Speaker 1: whether it is setting up food banks, whether it is

230
00:12:35,160 --> 00:12:39,319
Speaker 1: even putting a hospital in a parking garage beneath the

231
00:12:39,400 --> 00:12:43,760
Speaker 1: hot beneath the hospital itself to protect everyone, all of

232
00:12:43,760 --> 00:12:48,040
Speaker 1: the patients, from the dangers of missiles that might arrive.

233
00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:52,120
Speaker 1: All of these things are tremendously important. They have to

234
00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:56,720
Speaker 1: do with just protecting the innocent, in particular all over Israel,

235
00:12:56,760 --> 00:12:59,679
Speaker 1: and it's what the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews does.

236
00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:03,160
Speaker 1: We would like for you to join us as well.

237
00:13:03,280 --> 00:13:06,920
Speaker 1: I've seen the work that these individuals do. It is fantastic,

238
00:13:07,040 --> 00:13:10,880
Speaker 1: it is phenomenal. It is truly life changing for so

239
00:13:10,960 --> 00:13:13,240
Speaker 1: many people there. And if you have the opportunity, we

240
00:13:13,280 --> 00:13:16,800

00:13:23,920 --> 00:13:28,760
Speaker 1: four eight eight if CJ that is IFCJ dot org

244
00:13:28,840 --> 00:13:34,640
Speaker 1: one more time, IFCJ dot org. You don't know what

245
00:13:34,960 --> 00:13:38,640
Speaker 1: you don't know, right, but you just on the Sunday

246
00:13:38,720 --> 00:13:41,120
Speaker 1: Hang with Play and Buck podcast.

247
00:13:41,080 --> 00:13:42,480
Speaker 2: Welcome back into Clay inn Buck.

248
00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:44,520
Speaker 3: We're supposed to have Senator Rampaul joining us in a

249
00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:47,640
Speaker 3: few moments, and I think a lot of you are

250
00:13:47,640 --> 00:13:50,360
Speaker 3: going to want to hear it because things got very testy.

251
00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:52,760
Speaker 3: Let's be honest, things got a bit personal up on

252
00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:56,640
Speaker 3: Capitol Hill on the in the hearing for DHS Secretary

253
00:13:57,240 --> 00:14:01,480
Speaker 3: nominee Senator Mark Wayne Mullen. So we will hear from

254
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:05,080
Speaker 3: the other Senator, Senator Paul about where he stands on

255
00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:07,199
Speaker 3: all this. I also think depends on how much time

256
00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:08,920
Speaker 3: we have. We can talk to him a bit about

257
00:14:08,920 --> 00:14:10,720
Speaker 3: the Save America Act, which in a lot of you

258
00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:14,360
Speaker 3: have questions or thoughts on I should say more thoughts

259
00:14:14,440 --> 00:14:16,760
Speaker 3: than questions like why the heck aren't they passing this?

260
00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:20,360
Speaker 3: Clay and I are not senators, so we can't vote

261
00:14:20,400 --> 00:14:23,600
Speaker 3: for it. But doesn't look like it's going to happen

262
00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:26,240
Speaker 3: for a whole range of reasons we've discussed on the show.

263
00:14:26,440 --> 00:14:30,080
Speaker 3: Let's get to some of your thoughts here. Let's start with.

264
00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:31,880
Speaker 5: B.

265
00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:34,520
Speaker 2: Kenneth from Melbourne, Florida, hit Bee.

266
00:14:35,040 --> 00:14:38,520
Speaker 5: One question I'd like to ask Rand Paul is why

267
00:14:38,560 --> 00:14:41,240
Speaker 5: did he decide to go soft on this guy after

268
00:14:41,280 --> 00:14:42,320
Speaker 5: he about killed him?

269
00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:44,920
Speaker 2: I mean quickly not.

270
00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:49,440
Speaker 5: Pressing charges, never heard anything about it anymore. You know,

271
00:14:49,560 --> 00:14:54,040
Speaker 5: we're all supporting you, Rand Paul, and we want to

272
00:14:54,080 --> 00:14:58,200
Speaker 5: see this guy prosecuted for assault, and you weren't having it.

273
00:14:58,440 --> 00:15:02,120
Speaker 2: Why does that have to look up?

274
00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:04,560
Speaker 1: I thought that there was a prosecution and the guy

275
00:15:04,720 --> 00:15:05,600
Speaker 1: got punished.

276
00:15:06,160 --> 00:15:08,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, he was charged by authorities and convicted for the

277
00:15:08,520 --> 00:15:12,920
Speaker 3: twenty seventeen attack. Rand didn't press charges himself, but he

278
00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:17,120
Speaker 3: expressed satisfaction with the felony conviction and jail time that

279
00:15:17,240 --> 00:15:18,040
Speaker 3: the individual served.

280
00:15:18,040 --> 00:15:19,920
Speaker 2: But he only served thirty days in jail.

281
00:15:21,280 --> 00:15:24,080
Speaker 3: So I mean, you know he was the guy was

282
00:15:24,080 --> 00:15:28,640
Speaker 3: was probably felony, went to prison. I had to pay

283
00:15:28,840 --> 00:15:31,480
Speaker 3: Rand Paul five hundred and eighty thousand dollars in damages.

284
00:15:31,640 --> 00:15:34,480
Speaker 3: I don't I don't think. I don't think it's a

285
00:15:34,480 --> 00:15:35,880
Speaker 3: fair line of criticisms to say Ran.

286
00:15:35,800 --> 00:15:39,840
Speaker 2: Paul didn't you know, what going to go after and

287
00:15:39,840 --> 00:15:42,400
Speaker 2: he had to pay? What else is supposed to happen? Yeah,

288
00:15:42,400 --> 00:15:42,880
Speaker 2: I agree.

289
00:15:43,080 --> 00:15:44,720
Speaker 3: I think he should have got more time in prison

290
00:15:44,800 --> 00:15:47,720
Speaker 3: personally for an assault like that. I agree, I think,

291
00:15:47,920 --> 00:15:49,800
Speaker 3: you know, look, it's funny, actually, Clay, I was even

292
00:15:49,840 --> 00:15:51,320
Speaker 3: texting with a friend of mine yesterday who was a

293
00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:54,840
Speaker 3: long time violent violent felony prosecutor in New York just

294
00:15:54,960 --> 00:15:57,640
Speaker 3: attorney's office there. I was asking him about something that

295
00:15:57,760 --> 00:16:00,400
Speaker 3: happened where guy punched a guy. We didn't about this

296
00:16:00,720 --> 00:16:03,440
Speaker 3: fifty five year old who likened a fifty five year

297
00:16:03,440 --> 00:16:06,640
Speaker 3: old fell and died, hit his head. And in these

298
00:16:06,720 --> 00:16:13,320
Speaker 3: things they get very into the specific facts like was

299
00:16:13,360 --> 00:16:16,520
Speaker 3: it completely unprovoked? Did they square off? Did the guy

300
00:16:16,600 --> 00:16:18,840
Speaker 3: raise his hands? Did the other guy raise his hands?

301
00:16:19,240 --> 00:16:20,320
Speaker 3: Was it a sucker punch?

302
00:16:20,680 --> 00:16:23,040
Speaker 2: Did he you know? Is it a senior citizen?

303
00:16:23,400 --> 00:16:27,680
Speaker 3: And all these things come into the equation because people,

304
00:16:27,720 --> 00:16:30,120
Speaker 3: a lot of people who have never been involved in

305
00:16:30,120 --> 00:16:33,320
Speaker 3: physical violence don't realize first of all, how ugly it

306
00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:37,480
Speaker 3: gets quickly, and also how it can escalate into something

307
00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:41,480
Speaker 3: very dangerous, even more so than either party wants it to.

308
00:16:42,480 --> 00:16:44,480
Speaker 3: I had a friend who was in college and someone

309
00:16:44,520 --> 00:16:47,040
Speaker 3: that he knew got punched on stairs, fell back, hit

310
00:16:47,040 --> 00:16:48,440
Speaker 3: his head, slipped into a coma and died.

311
00:16:49,120 --> 00:16:50,520
Speaker 2: Oh, so that stuff can happen.

312
00:16:50,680 --> 00:16:53,000
Speaker 1: When I was in college, the kid's in Georgetown got

313
00:16:53,040 --> 00:16:56,680
Speaker 1: into a fight Georgetown. One kid punched the other. When

314
00:16:56,680 --> 00:16:58,640
Speaker 1: he fell, he yet his head and he died. It

315
00:16:58,720 --> 00:17:01,800
Speaker 1: was a huge story when I was an undergrad. You know,

316
00:17:01,840 --> 00:17:05,720
Speaker 1: there's a when you're a lawyer, young lawyer, just you

317
00:17:05,800 --> 00:17:09,800
Speaker 1: study a case. It's basically like the thin skuld Plainiff case.

318
00:17:10,960 --> 00:17:13,159
Speaker 1: And for those of you out there that probably have

319
00:17:13,240 --> 00:17:14,960
Speaker 1: not heard of this case, one of the things that

320
00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:18,960
Speaker 1: they examine is to what extent are you libel when

321
00:17:19,359 --> 00:17:22,879
Speaker 1: someone has a unique physical condition which you didn't know about.

322
00:17:22,960 --> 00:17:27,520
Speaker 1: This thin skuld Plainiff, my recollection died because of it

323
00:17:28,240 --> 00:17:31,879
Speaker 1: what should not have been a death blow. But to

324
00:17:31,920 --> 00:17:34,919
Speaker 1: the point you're making buck, when you strike someone, you

325
00:17:34,920 --> 00:17:37,840
Speaker 1: don't really know what the overall outcome is going to be,

326
00:17:38,160 --> 00:17:41,000
Speaker 1: and the outcome can be deadly, even for things you

327
00:17:41,080 --> 00:17:43,320
Speaker 1: don't think are particularly deadly in nature.

328
00:17:44,119 --> 00:17:46,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, and Ran Paul almost died from that attack on

329
00:17:46,560 --> 00:17:48,679
Speaker 3: him and that is established by the medical record. So

330
00:17:49,960 --> 00:17:52,440
Speaker 3: these are you know, this is these are the facts

331
00:17:52,480 --> 00:17:53,959
Speaker 3: of that of that case. But he did bring it

332
00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:56,800
Speaker 3: so rather they did bring felony charges and the person

333
00:17:56,960 --> 00:18:00,440
Speaker 3: was convicted. Well, talk to assuming he has time for

334
00:18:00,560 --> 00:18:02,239
Speaker 3: us here, because obviously a lot going on Capitol Hill.

335
00:18:02,240 --> 00:18:04,159
Speaker 3: We're supposed to talk to Centator Paul coming up and

336
00:18:04,200 --> 00:18:06,399
Speaker 3: we'll get into that. But you guys know, I've been

337
00:18:06,440 --> 00:18:09,240
Speaker 3: on a health journey, been dropping some lbs and trying

338
00:18:09,240 --> 00:18:11,280
Speaker 3: to get stronger and healthier, and a big part of

339
00:18:11,320 --> 00:18:16,560
Speaker 3: that is proper supplementation. Yes, diet, exercise, peptides. There's a

340
00:18:16,560 --> 00:18:18,960
Speaker 3: lot of things that people will do these days that

341
00:18:19,200 --> 00:18:22,960
Speaker 3: make a huge difference. But proper supplementation. Don't overlook this,

342

Speaker 1: Walking back in Clay Travis buck Sexton Show, appreciate all

355
00:19:01,920 --> 00:19:03,800
Speaker 1: of you hanging out with us across the country. We

356
00:19:03,840 --> 00:19:09,080
Speaker 1: are joined now by Senator Rampaul of Kentucky and Senator

357
00:19:09,119 --> 00:19:11,920
Speaker 1: You've made quite a bit of news earlier today and

358
00:19:12,520 --> 00:19:16,480
Speaker 1: the DHS hearings of Senator Mark Wayne Mullen, and I

359
00:19:16,480 --> 00:19:20,000
Speaker 1: guess we just can start off here with a question.

360
00:19:20,080 --> 00:19:22,520
Speaker 1: I don't know that you've officially said one way or

361
00:19:22,600 --> 00:19:25,960
Speaker 1: the other. Based on the questions, it doesn't sound like

362
00:19:26,040 --> 00:19:28,360
Speaker 1: you're going to be voting for him to.

363
00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:31,760
Speaker 2: Be head of DHS. And if is that true?

364
00:19:32,040 --> 00:19:35,120
Speaker 1: And if so, why will you be voting against him?

365
00:19:35,560 --> 00:19:39,040
Speaker 6: You know, I guess I'm concerned about anger issues. Someone

366
00:19:39,160 --> 00:19:43,760
Speaker 6: leading ice and border patrol issues that basically advocated and

367
00:19:43,840 --> 00:19:47,160
Speaker 6: celebrated the violence that was committed about me. I was

368
00:19:47,359 --> 00:19:51,040
Speaker 6: attacked from behind several years ago. Six riggs broken, three

369
00:19:51,080 --> 00:19:54,959
Speaker 6: of them separated, completely damaged. My long multiple pneumonia's had

370
00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:58,040
Speaker 6: part of my long remove nearly a year year and

371
00:19:58,080 --> 00:20:00,960
Speaker 6: a half later, And I guess I don't think that's funny.

372
00:20:01,160 --> 00:20:03,720
Speaker 6: I also don't think that that's something to be celebrated.

373
00:20:04,240 --> 00:20:06,520
Speaker 6: And I wonder if someone thinks that that is to

374
00:20:06,560 --> 00:20:10,119
Speaker 6: be applauded, should they really be in charge of ICE

375
00:20:10,280 --> 00:20:12,679
Speaker 6: and CVP, who I think they need a better role model,

376
00:20:13,320 --> 00:20:15,679
Speaker 6: also has a history of brawling. I mean he got

377
00:20:15,760 --> 00:20:19,440
Speaker 6: up to them a committee hearing, threatened someone who was testifying,

378
00:20:19,480 --> 00:20:22,720
Speaker 6: said he would jump over the table and follow up interviews,

379
00:20:22,760 --> 00:20:24,920
Speaker 6: he said, yeah, people just deserve to be sometimes be

380
00:20:25,040 --> 00:20:27,480
Speaker 6: punched in the mouth. He said, well, yeah, there's a

381
00:20:27,520 --> 00:20:30,399
Speaker 6: historical precedent for this. You know, we had dueling and

382
00:20:30,760 --> 00:20:33,600
Speaker 6: we've had canings, and so I asked him that today

383
00:20:33,640 --> 00:20:35,720
Speaker 6: and he said, oh, yeah, we've had duelings. And I said,

384
00:20:35,720 --> 00:20:37,959
Speaker 6: when you realize it was still llegal one hundred and

385
00:20:37,960 --> 00:20:40,960
Speaker 6: seventy years ago. It's certainly illegal now, but it was

386
00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:44,040
Speaker 6: illegal even back then and frowned upon, and people actually

387
00:20:44,040 --> 00:20:47,679
Speaker 6: had to travel either to other states or countries to

388
00:20:47,800 --> 00:20:50,239
Speaker 6: do dueling because we dis approved of it. Even one

389
00:20:50,280 --> 00:20:52,840
Speaker 6: hundred and seventy years ago. But the fact that he

390
00:20:52,880 --> 00:20:55,840
Speaker 6: would still think that we should settle our political differences

391
00:20:55,880 --> 00:20:59,680
Speaker 6: through violence, I think makes him really unfit to hold

392
00:20:59,720 --> 00:21:02,560
Speaker 6: any a position like this. So I will vote against.

393
00:21:02,320 --> 00:21:04,160
Speaker 2: Him, Senator Paul.

394
00:21:04,960 --> 00:21:06,879
Speaker 3: Just to be clear, because we played some of the

395
00:21:06,920 --> 00:21:10,919
Speaker 3: back and forth audio, Senator Mullen has never.

396
00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:13,920
Speaker 2: Apologized for what he said. Is that correct? That has

397
00:21:13,960 --> 00:21:14,600
Speaker 2: never happened.

398
00:21:15,520 --> 00:21:18,720
Speaker 6: He called me in one discussion and he said, well,

399
00:21:19,160 --> 00:21:20,840
Speaker 6: he said what he said today. I hope we get

400
00:21:20,880 --> 00:21:24,960
Speaker 6: aside our political differences. Well, our political differences are you know,

401
00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:29,000
Speaker 6: we disagree on funding refugee welfare. I'm against giving any

402
00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:31,359
Speaker 6: more money for refugee welfare. I would end the programs.

403
00:21:31,400 --> 00:21:34,119
Speaker 6: He's for it. That's a political difference. But if I

404
00:21:34,160 --> 00:21:36,600
Speaker 6: say that I wish harm on his family or I

405
00:21:36,640 --> 00:21:39,640
Speaker 6: wish harm on him, that's not a political difference. That's

406
00:21:39,680 --> 00:21:42,679
Speaker 6: an advocation for violence. And Franks, I've been on the

407
00:21:42,680 --> 00:21:44,840
Speaker 6: receiving end of violence, and I just don't think it's

408
00:21:44,880 --> 00:21:47,280
Speaker 6: good for our country and it's not a good example

409
00:21:47,320 --> 00:21:50,199
Speaker 6: for somebody who leads law enforcement where there's been some

410
00:21:50,400 --> 00:21:53,800
Speaker 6: questions about the use of force. And so no, he's

411
00:21:53,840 --> 00:21:56,440
Speaker 6: never apologized. He was given a chance today, I think

412
00:21:56,440 --> 00:21:59,920
Speaker 6: a normal person would have taken that chance and apologized

413
00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:04,679
Speaker 6: and said he continued to this bizarre rat that somehow,

414
00:22:05,080 --> 00:22:07,320
Speaker 6: when he was an House of Representatives he told this

415
00:22:07,320 --> 00:22:09,640
Speaker 6: to my face because he's, you know, such a macho guy.

416
00:22:10,080 --> 00:22:11,520
Speaker 6: I don't think I ever met the guy when he

417
00:22:11,560 --> 00:22:13,439
Speaker 6: was nouse. I don't remember ever meeting with him, and

418
00:22:13,480 --> 00:22:15,879
Speaker 6: I certainly would remember if someone walked up to me

419
00:22:15,880 --> 00:22:18,760
Speaker 6: and told me that I deserved to be bushwhacked, you know,

420
00:22:18,880 --> 00:22:22,160
Speaker 6: in my yard. So no, I never I'd never met

421
00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:23,960
Speaker 6: him before he got to the Senate, and he's never

422
00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:26,280
Speaker 6: set it to my face. But it's interesting what he

423
00:22:26,320 --> 00:22:28,560
Speaker 6: took umbrage with. He took umbrage with the fact that

424
00:22:28,600 --> 00:22:30,880
Speaker 6: I called him a liar, but he didn't never come

425
00:22:30,920 --> 00:22:33,919
Speaker 6: out and say, oh, yeah, you know, I was angry

426
00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:37,280
Speaker 6: about this vote, and you know, in retrospect, maybe I

427
00:22:37,280 --> 00:22:39,440
Speaker 6: shouldn't have. You know, thought that it was a great

428
00:22:39,480 --> 00:22:43,560
Speaker 6: idea that this violence was committed against you. But it's

429
00:22:43,600 --> 00:22:47,160
Speaker 6: that it's his brawling and Senate committees, it's his referring

430
00:22:47,200 --> 00:22:49,360
Speaker 6: to dueling and caning. I asked him if he knew

431
00:22:49,359 --> 00:22:52,320
Speaker 6: who Charles Sumner was. I don't think he does. But

432
00:22:52,440 --> 00:22:55,120
Speaker 6: Charles Sumner was caned nearly to death. He was came

433
00:22:55,240 --> 00:22:57,800
Speaker 6: till he was unconscious. And the reason that that it

434
00:22:57,920 --> 00:23:01,800
Speaker 6: kept going is one of the Preston Book's colleagues in

435
00:23:01,880 --> 00:23:04,160
Speaker 6: South Carolina came over with a gun and he kept

436
00:23:04,200 --> 00:23:06,200
Speaker 6: the others. I always wondered, you know why the senator's

437
00:23:06,280 --> 00:23:08,960
Speaker 6: not intervened. The reason they didn't intervene help him. He

438
00:23:09,080 --> 00:23:12,119
Speaker 6: was unconscious, bleeding from the mouth, fleeting from his ears,

439
00:23:12,480 --> 00:23:14,680
Speaker 6: his skull being crushed by this guy with the cane,

440
00:23:15,080 --> 00:23:19,800
Speaker 6: and nobody helps him. But it's because another thug friend

441
00:23:19,800 --> 00:23:21,920
Speaker 6: of Preston Brooks was holding a gun to the senators,

442
00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:24,879
Speaker 6: keeping them at bay. So, but he brings us up

443
00:23:24,920 --> 00:23:28,080
Speaker 6: as a justification. He brought it up again today. He says, well, yeah,

444
00:23:28,119 --> 00:23:30,600
Speaker 6: there is dueling, and I said, well, yeah, it's been

445
00:23:30,600 --> 00:23:34,119
Speaker 6: illegal for one hundred and seventy years, including at the

446
00:23:34,200 --> 00:23:36,879
Speaker 6: time even when they had dueling in the eighteenth early

447
00:23:36,960 --> 00:23:40,080
Speaker 6: nineteenth century, most time it was illegal, and most time

448
00:23:40,119 --> 00:23:42,560
Speaker 6: they went to some kind of venue to escape being

449
00:23:42,600 --> 00:23:45,280
Speaker 6: caught doing doing because it wasn't approved of by most people.

450
00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:47,800
Speaker 3: Senator Paul, can I ask you do you have any

451
00:23:47,800 --> 00:23:51,800
Speaker 3: sense that there are any other Republicans who have serious

452
00:23:51,840 --> 00:23:56,080
Speaker 3: concerns about this confirmation of the DHS secretary or is

453
00:23:56,080 --> 00:23:59,480
Speaker 3: it your sense that you stand alone among Republicans on this.

454
00:24:00,440 --> 00:24:02,760
Speaker 6: Probably in the committee, I will be the only one,

455
00:24:03,840 --> 00:24:06,440
Speaker 6: you know. Frankly, I suffered for a year or two

456
00:24:06,440 --> 00:24:08,080
Speaker 6: with this, had part of my lung remove, so I

457
00:24:08,080 --> 00:24:10,480
Speaker 6: do take it kind of personally. I do think though

458
00:24:10,480 --> 00:24:12,919
Speaker 6: it's more of a generalized problem, because I think his

459
00:24:13,440 --> 00:24:16,359
Speaker 6: resorting to fists and his idea that people sometimes just

460
00:24:16,400 --> 00:24:19,080
Speaker 6: deserve to be punched in the face. I think that

461
00:24:19,200 --> 00:24:22,439
Speaker 6: kind of attitude would worry me where we you know,

462
00:24:22,520 --> 00:24:24,960
Speaker 6: this is what we had with Bovino. When Bovino was

463
00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:27,879
Speaker 6: up there in Minneapolis. It was a disaster because he's

464
00:24:27,960 --> 00:24:31,439
Speaker 6: marching around with the bulletproof vest, brandishing his weapons and

465
00:24:31,440 --> 00:24:34,720
Speaker 6: showing how Tafias and everybody got this sort of macho

466
00:24:34,720 --> 00:24:38,000
Speaker 6: complex up there. Tom Holman, who's not a shrinking violet,

467
00:24:38,040 --> 00:24:40,800
Speaker 6: went to it and said if any agents misbehaved, they'll

468
00:24:40,800 --> 00:24:43,359
Speaker 6: be punished, and he started pulling people off the street

469
00:24:43,440 --> 00:24:47,080
Speaker 6: so they weren't in public confrontation every day. You really

470
00:24:47,119 --> 00:24:49,119
Speaker 6: haven't seen it in the news and that's sort of

471
00:24:49,160 --> 00:24:51,879
Speaker 6: what good leadership would be. But I don't know what

472
00:24:51,920 --> 00:24:54,840
Speaker 6: kind of leadership you get from a guy who advocates

473
00:24:54,840 --> 00:24:58,000
Speaker 6: fighting in a you know, in the middle of the Senate's.

474
00:24:57,760 --> 00:25:01,920
Speaker 3: Hearing, Why home in the DHS secretary, By the way,

475
00:25:02,400 --> 00:25:03,400
Speaker 3: that's a whole other Yeah.

476
00:25:03,400 --> 00:25:06,000
Speaker 1: No, I mean, I think that's an interesting question, Senator

477
00:25:06,080 --> 00:25:08,200
Speaker 1: Rampaul with us right now talking about the Mark Wayne

478
00:25:08,240 --> 00:25:13,240
Speaker 1: Mullen hearing and his potential taking over the DHS. Many

479
00:25:13,280 --> 00:25:16,720
Speaker 1: people in this audience, I guarantee you, Senator Paul, and

480
00:25:16,720 --> 00:25:18,399
Speaker 1: I'm sure you're going to hear it from the people

481
00:25:18,440 --> 00:25:22,399
Speaker 1: you represent in Kentucky will say Democrats are wrong on

482
00:25:22,640 --> 00:25:27,280
Speaker 1: so much? Why fight internally here over who the president

483
00:25:27,440 --> 00:25:31,480
Speaker 1: wants as DHS secretary? How would you respond to that

484
00:25:31,600 --> 00:25:33,360
Speaker 1: question or that criticism?

485
00:25:34,040 --> 00:25:37,280
Speaker 6: You know, I've supported virtually all the nominees. Christy nom

486
00:25:37,359 --> 00:25:40,640
Speaker 6: came forward. I did hers in record time, even though

487
00:25:40,720 --> 00:25:44,040
Speaker 6: Mullen I don't think, don't like, and don't think he's fit,

488
00:25:44,200 --> 00:25:48,080
Speaker 6: and really I think he's just a person. But I've

489
00:25:48,119 --> 00:25:52,200
Speaker 6: gotten this nominee done quicker than any other nominee's ever

490
00:25:52,200 --> 00:25:54,639
Speaker 6: gotten it. So I'm giving him fair treatment and sense

491
00:25:54,680 --> 00:25:56,919
Speaker 6: that he got a hearing in less than two weeks.

492
00:25:56,960 --> 00:25:59,320
Speaker 6: He's going to get the vote tomorrow and an all

493
00:25:59,400 --> 00:26:02,359
Speaker 6: Likelihod will be approved. But the thing is is, you know,

494
00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:06,199
Speaker 6: if this, if this were you, I mean, do you

495
00:26:06,280 --> 00:26:09,560
Speaker 6: have uh you know it, would it be your conclusion

496
00:26:09,600 --> 00:26:12,000
Speaker 6: to say, well, yeah, he did say the assault, I

497
00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:14,119
Speaker 6: mean it was justified. I'll just kind of let that go,

498
00:26:14,320 --> 00:26:16,320
Speaker 6: not say anything about it. Well, I don't think there

499
00:26:16,320 --> 00:26:19,240
Speaker 6: are many people that would let it go. I'm kind

500
00:26:19,280 --> 00:26:23,720
Speaker 6: of actually surprised that more people don't see the glorification

501
00:26:23,880 --> 00:26:26,160
Speaker 6: of violence as a real danger to having someone lead

502
00:26:26,240 --> 00:26:29,520
Speaker 6: ice who really thinks resorting to fist is the way

503
00:26:29,560 --> 00:26:31,720
Speaker 6: we hear this real? You know, if this is a

504
00:26:31,760 --> 00:26:33,080
Speaker 6: badening way to do it, we used to do it

505
00:26:33,080 --> 00:26:36,960
Speaker 6: the right way, with dueling and gaining. And you know,

506
00:26:37,119 --> 00:26:39,040
Speaker 6: when I first read the story of Charles Summer, I

507
00:26:39,080 --> 00:26:42,000
Speaker 6: was horrified by it. I wasn't. I never never crossed

508
00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:44,280
Speaker 6: my mind that these were the good old days, These

509
00:26:44,320 --> 00:26:46,919
Speaker 6: were the days when men were men and they you know,

510
00:26:47,440 --> 00:26:51,320
Speaker 6: cross each other's skull with sticks. I don't know that

511
00:26:51,320 --> 00:26:53,560
Speaker 6: never would cross my mind. But that apparently is his

512
00:26:53,720 --> 00:26:56,720
Speaker 6: point of view. And even when confronted with it, both

513
00:26:56,760 --> 00:27:00,640
Speaker 6: privately and in public, he refuses to apologize, doesn't back down,

514
00:27:01,160 --> 00:27:05,480
Speaker 6: and says basically, yeah, he's it's completely understandable that I

515
00:27:05,520 --> 00:27:09,720
Speaker 6: was attacked from behind. You know, six ribs, broken, lung damage,

516
00:27:09,960 --> 00:27:13,360
Speaker 6: multiple pneumonias, part of my lung removed. I don't know.

517
00:27:13,480 --> 00:27:15,479
Speaker 6: I don't get that. I guess I'm not willing just

518
00:27:15,480 --> 00:27:18,639
Speaker 6: to say, oh, let's let bygones be bygones. You know

519
00:27:18,720 --> 00:27:21,400
Speaker 6: we're all adults here. Well, if you want let bygones

520
00:27:21,440 --> 00:27:23,679
Speaker 6: be bygones, you might start with an apology for what

521
00:27:23,720 --> 00:27:24,119
Speaker 6: he said.

522
00:27:24,840 --> 00:27:26,040
Speaker 2: What happened to your attacker.

523
00:27:26,240 --> 00:27:29,280
Speaker 1: We had a couple of people asking us, and Buck

524
00:27:29,320 --> 00:27:30,920
Speaker 1: and I did a quick research.

525
00:27:30,960 --> 00:27:32,800
Speaker 2: We're live on the air. I'm sure you know.

526
00:27:34,119 --> 00:27:37,960
Speaker 1: Was he severely punished to what you thought he should

527
00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:39,000
Speaker 1: have been that level?

528
00:27:39,240 --> 00:27:40,920
Speaker 2: Or what was the result of that case.

529
00:27:41,760 --> 00:27:45,680
Speaker 6: Initially, they all the judges in Kentucky recused themselves, which

530
00:27:45,800 --> 00:27:47,560
Speaker 6: created a problem because then they have to look for

531
00:27:47,600 --> 00:27:50,840
Speaker 6: a judge. They found one in Detroit who came down

532
00:27:51,040 --> 00:27:55,040
Speaker 6: and prejudged the case and gave the guy thirty days.

533
00:27:55,320 --> 00:27:58,359
Speaker 6: The government appealed it and went to the Sixth Circuit,

534
00:27:58,359 --> 00:28:02,200
Speaker 6: and this doesn't happen very often appealing a criminal ruling

535
00:28:02,240 --> 00:28:05,240
Speaker 6: of a judge because it was outside the sentencing parameters

536
00:28:05,720 --> 00:28:08,159
Speaker 6: and didn't meet the minimum, and they came back and

537
00:28:08,160 --> 00:28:10,560
Speaker 6: gave him another ten months, so he served about a year.

538
00:28:11,560 --> 00:28:16,080
Speaker 6: He lost the civil suit. He's a convicted felon, hopefully

539
00:28:16,119 --> 00:28:20,479
Speaker 6: as not voting anywhere in the country anymore, and hopefully

540
00:28:20,520 --> 00:28:23,840
Speaker 6: has received some punishment for this. But you know, it

541
00:28:23,920 --> 00:28:26,680
Speaker 6: was misreported from the very beginning, and everybody's oh, yeah,

542
00:28:26,840 --> 00:28:29,280
Speaker 6: just a dispute which we had never talked to the guy.

543
00:28:29,440 --> 00:28:31,200
Speaker 6: I mean I talked to maybe ten or fifteen years

544
00:28:31,280 --> 00:28:34,360
Speaker 6: before We're gone. A lot our kids used to carpool,

545
00:28:34,359 --> 00:28:36,960
Speaker 6: but there was no personal animus that I knew of

546
00:28:37,200 --> 00:28:39,640
Speaker 6: between the guy other than that I learned that he

547
00:28:39,720 --> 00:28:41,760
Speaker 6: was the hater of Donald Trump and a hater of

548
00:28:41,800 --> 00:28:45,040
Speaker 6: me politically when we looked at his online presence, but

549
00:28:45,280 --> 00:28:48,520
Speaker 6: wasn't like we'd ever had words. Really, I don't know.

550
00:28:48,560 --> 00:28:51,360
Speaker 6: Those who think it's either funny or should be justified,

551
00:28:52,440 --> 00:28:53,440
Speaker 6: I think are sick people.

552
00:28:53,480 --> 00:28:57,120
Speaker 3: Franklinton, Senator Ran Paul with us now and Senator if

553
00:28:57,160 --> 00:28:59,640
Speaker 3: I could. I mean, I think we've covered pretty and

554
00:28:59,640 --> 00:29:02,400
Speaker 3: pretty good detail. Here what happened today in your exchange

555
00:29:02,520 --> 00:29:05,120
Speaker 3: with Mark Wayne Mullen. We are in the midst of

556
00:29:05,160 --> 00:29:07,720
Speaker 3: what we have been telling everybody is a war and

557
00:29:07,800 --> 00:29:10,160
Speaker 3: thousands of people are dying, and it is a big deal.

558
00:29:11,160 --> 00:29:12,959
Speaker 3: I know there's been a little back and forth on

559
00:29:13,080 --> 00:29:15,760
Speaker 3: what we should call this, and it's you know, there

560
00:29:15,840 --> 00:29:18,680
Speaker 3: seems to be a little bit of a minimization feeling

561
00:29:18,720 --> 00:29:22,360
Speaker 3: around it in some quarters my senses, and this is

562
00:29:22,400 --> 00:29:24,720
Speaker 3: I'm speaking for myself, and Clayton can weigh in with

563
00:29:24,760 --> 00:29:27,720
Speaker 3: his sense. This is just going to end sometime in

564
00:29:27,760 --> 00:29:29,680
Speaker 3: the next couple of weeks and we're going to say

565
00:29:30,200 --> 00:29:34,080
Speaker 3: mission accomplished with having destroyed the Iranian military. What do

566
00:29:34,120 --> 00:29:35,760
Speaker 3: you make of all of this? I mean, I know

567
00:29:35,800 --> 00:29:39,200
Speaker 3: you're not for it, but what's the goal here as

568
00:29:39,240 --> 00:29:41,400
Speaker 3: you see it? And what are the lessons that we're

569
00:29:41,480 --> 00:29:42,280
Speaker 3: learning as we go?

570
00:29:43,720 --> 00:29:45,800
Speaker 6: Yeah, I think the sooner it's over the batter war

571
00:29:45,920 --> 00:29:49,440
Speaker 6: really isn't good for you know, us as a people,

572
00:29:49,560 --> 00:29:52,040
Speaker 6: not good for those who die, and really it needs

573
00:29:52,080 --> 00:29:55,360
Speaker 6: to be the last resort, not the first resort. I

574
00:29:55,400 --> 00:29:58,760
Speaker 6: think this war was a war of choice, and I

575
00:29:58,800 --> 00:30:01,960
Speaker 6: didn't agree with the choice. Now, whether they call it

576
00:30:01,960 --> 00:30:04,920
Speaker 6: a war or not. Sounds legalistic, but it's a way

577
00:30:04,960 --> 00:30:08,360
Speaker 6: of getting around the Constitution. The Constitution says that Congress

578
00:30:08,400 --> 00:30:12,760
Speaker 6: initiates war or declares war. Now, the President's Legal COUNTIL

579
00:30:12,800 --> 00:30:16,200
Speaker 6: the Office of Legal Council argues that you'll will tell

580
00:30:16,240 --> 00:30:17,680
Speaker 6: you when it's a war, but we have to wait

581
00:30:17,680 --> 00:30:20,520
Speaker 6: a while and we'll add up the casualties. We have

582
00:30:20,560 --> 00:30:23,800
Speaker 6: to know the duration, the extent, and the scope of

583
00:30:23,800 --> 00:30:25,880
Speaker 6: the war to tell whether it's a war or not.

584
00:30:26,440 --> 00:30:29,000
Speaker 6: And I guess the problem with that kind of argument

585
00:30:29,160 --> 00:30:32,440
Speaker 6: is that if Congress is supposed to initiate or declare war,

586
00:30:32,920 --> 00:30:35,120
Speaker 6: but you can't tell whether it's really war until a

587
00:30:35,240 --> 00:30:38,320
Speaker 6: number of dead, you know, it would be sort of

588
00:30:38,600 --> 00:30:41,280
Speaker 6: Congress coming after the fact and then declaring war after

589
00:30:41,320 --> 00:30:43,960
Speaker 6: the war's over. You know, with the Iraq War, we

590
00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:46,440
Speaker 6: declared war in advance. We didn't know how many would die,

591
00:30:46,520 --> 00:30:48,640
Speaker 6: but we ended up I think losing about forty four

592
00:30:48,760 --> 00:30:53,200
Speaker 6: hundred soldiers and maybe ten or twenty thousands significantly wounded.

593
00:30:53,880 --> 00:30:56,200
Speaker 6: But we did actually authorize it. You know, I have

594
00:30:56,240 --> 00:30:59,520
Speaker 6: some complaints with George W. Bush, but he came to Congress,

595
00:30:59,560 --> 00:31:02,640
Speaker 6: made the case, and they authorized it. And the same

596
00:31:02,800 --> 00:31:04,960
Speaker 6: thing after nine to eleven, and I would have voted

597
00:31:05,000 --> 00:31:07,000
Speaker 6: for the nine to eleven. You know the response after

598
00:31:07,040 --> 00:31:09,880
Speaker 6: nine to eleven, because we were attacked. That's when we really,

599
00:31:10,320 --> 00:31:13,560
Speaker 6: you know, should have a war. But I don't think

600
00:31:13,560 --> 00:31:16,440
Speaker 6: we've done it in a constitutional way. I think in

601
00:31:16,520 --> 00:31:19,600
Speaker 6: the end it's really this isn't the primary reason to

602
00:31:19,640 --> 00:31:21,800
Speaker 6: oppose it, but I think it's also going to be very,

603
00:31:21,880 --> 00:31:25,000
Speaker 6: very damaging for the Republican ability to hold on to

604
00:31:25,120 --> 00:31:29,120
Speaker 6: either House or Senate in the fall because of the

605
00:31:29,160 --> 00:31:33,400
Speaker 6: economic repercussions. I think oil prices go up quickly. I

606
00:31:33,440 --> 00:31:35,760
Speaker 6: think they're sticky on the way down, and as more

607
00:31:35,760 --> 00:31:39,680
Speaker 6: infrastructures damaged over there, as the people are having more

608
00:31:39,680 --> 00:31:43,080
Speaker 6: trouble getting shipped through because of insurance and danger, I

609
00:31:43,120 --> 00:31:45,800
Speaker 6: don't think that quickly resolves itself. So even if the

610
00:31:45,880 --> 00:31:47,480
Speaker 6: war ended in a week or two, I think you

611
00:31:47,520 --> 00:31:51,720
Speaker 6: could still have pricing increases that could last well into

612
00:31:51,760 --> 00:31:52,160
Speaker 6: the election.

613
00:31:53,040 --> 00:31:54,160
Speaker 2: Last question for you.

614
00:31:54,240 --> 00:31:56,880
Speaker 1: This is a VIP email, and I'm going to read

615
00:31:56,920 --> 00:31:59,440
Speaker 1: it from one of our listeners. Matt, you probably have

616
00:31:59,520 --> 00:32:02,600
Speaker 1: heard of this quite a lot. Eighty percent of all

617
00:32:02,640 --> 00:32:08,120
Speaker 1: Americans support voter ID. I'll be extremely pissed off and deflated.

618
00:32:08,240 --> 00:32:11,440
Speaker 1: If the Save Act fails, especially if it fails due

619
00:32:11,440 --> 00:32:15,200
Speaker 1: to GOP and fighting, I think the country is doomed

620
00:32:15,320 --> 00:32:18,560
Speaker 1: if we can't get voter ID passed. That's a VIP

621
00:32:18,720 --> 00:32:21,640
Speaker 1: email from Matt, one of our listeners. What's going to

622
00:32:21,680 --> 00:32:24,760
Speaker 1: happen with the Save Act? What should happen in your mind?

623
00:32:25,080 --> 00:32:27,240
Speaker 6: You know, I'm for it, I'm a co sponsor of it.

624
00:32:27,320 --> 00:32:29,320
Speaker 6: Voted yesterday to get on it. We got on it

625
00:32:29,360 --> 00:32:32,479
Speaker 6: with fifty one votes. I am told my leadership there

626
00:32:32,480 --> 00:32:35,479
Speaker 6: are not fifty one votes to perpetually stay on it.

627
00:32:35,560 --> 00:32:38,200
Speaker 6: You know, the whole idea of the talking filibuster, But

628
00:32:38,240 --> 00:32:41,400
Speaker 6: there aren't fifty one votes to do that. I'm also

629
00:32:41,480 --> 00:32:44,880
Speaker 6: told that one of the sticking points of doing citizenship

630
00:32:44,920 --> 00:32:47,080
Speaker 6: park that you might get fifty three of us. You

631
00:32:47,160 --> 00:32:49,840
Speaker 6: might even get a Democrat or to if adjusted citizenship.

632
00:32:50,480 --> 00:32:53,440
Speaker 6: When it adds in the mail balloting forbidding mail or

633
00:32:53,440 --> 00:32:56,120
Speaker 6: discouraging mail balloting, which I am for, I think that's

634
00:32:56,280 --> 00:32:59,040
Speaker 6: really almost as important as the citizenship part, because I

635
00:32:59,040 --> 00:33:01,520
Speaker 6: can people cheat through the mail in balloting more than

636
00:33:01,560 --> 00:33:04,280
Speaker 6: any other form of voting. But the problem is that

637
00:33:04,360 --> 00:33:07,560
Speaker 6: you have these Western states. I mean, Utah has everybody

638
00:33:07,560 --> 00:33:10,320
Speaker 6: gets the ballot in the mail. They may get multiple ballots.

639
00:33:10,920 --> 00:33:14,800
Speaker 6: Arizona's the same way, and they've had Republican legislators out there,

640
00:33:14,840 --> 00:33:18,280
Speaker 6: but they haven't anything about it because frankly, Republicans out

641
00:33:18,280 --> 00:33:20,360
Speaker 6: there like mail in balloting, the same with their same

642
00:33:20,400 --> 00:33:25,240
Speaker 6: with Oklahoma, I mean not Oklahoma, Alaska. And so while

643
00:33:25,280 --> 00:33:28,040
Speaker 6: I am, you know, in my state, I helped, you know,

644
00:33:28,080 --> 00:33:31,480
Speaker 6: get the state legislature, encourage them to pass. And almost

645
00:33:31,520 --> 00:33:33,920
Speaker 6: everybody votes in person. It's like ninety eight percent. It's

646
00:33:33,960 --> 00:33:36,560
Speaker 6: of sellony. If you lie you're reasons for a need

647
00:33:36,560 --> 00:33:40,479
Speaker 6: to vote by mail. It's almost everybody votes in person.

648
00:33:40,880 --> 00:33:44,320
Speaker 6: We have paper ballots. We keep the paper ballots, and

649
00:33:45,200 --> 00:33:47,160
Speaker 6: I think we have pretty secure elections. We have we

650
00:33:47,160 --> 00:33:49,920
Speaker 6: have IDs to be shown. So some states do it

651
00:33:49,920 --> 00:33:53,120
Speaker 6: in so there's about five Republican states that don't. So well,

652
00:33:53,520 --> 00:33:55,800
Speaker 6: I voted for the national and we'll continue to support

653
00:33:55,840 --> 00:33:59,440
Speaker 6: the national pollution ability we ought to have as a

654
00:33:59,480 --> 00:34:02,720
Speaker 6: party goal getting the five or six Republican states that

655
00:34:02,840 --> 00:34:05,320
Speaker 6: do mail in balloting, convincing them at the state level

656
00:34:05,360 --> 00:34:08,880
Speaker 6: not to do it. But I think it's because his

657
00:34:09,000 --> 00:34:11,200
Speaker 6: bill has gotten so large and they've added things to it.

658
00:34:11,680 --> 00:34:13,799
Speaker 6: You won't get any Democrats on it. And the only

659
00:34:13,800 --> 00:34:15,760
Speaker 6: way probably to pass it right now are to convince

660
00:34:15,800 --> 00:34:18,759
Speaker 6: more Republicans and some Democrats is actually to narrow the

661
00:34:18,800 --> 00:34:21,399
Speaker 6: focus to maybe just the citizenship part.

662
00:34:22,360 --> 00:34:24,520

Speaker 3: to talk about Clay if we can make time for today.

695
00:35:45,880 --> 00:35:49,120
Speaker 3: The amount of money that's spent by New York City

696
00:35:49,160 --> 00:35:50,160
Speaker 3: on homeless.

697
00:35:50,160 --> 00:35:52,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, this is a crazy bualtat.

698
00:35:53,520 --> 00:35:55,200
Speaker 3: I I mean, we're at the point now where some

699
00:35:55,239 --> 00:36:01,040
Speaker 3: of these bureaucracies, these nonprofits that are funded with taxpayer

700
00:36:01,040 --> 00:36:03,760
Speaker 3: dollars would be so much We'd be so much better

701
00:36:03,800 --> 00:36:07,080
Speaker 3: off just giving eighty thousand dollars which is what the

702
00:36:07,160 --> 00:36:10,279
Speaker 3: number is to people who are homeless every year. Yeah,

703
00:36:10,280 --> 00:36:12,720
Speaker 3: so then people who are working hard for eighty thousand

704
00:36:12,719 --> 00:36:15,680
Speaker 3: dollars would say, wait a second, often more than less

705
00:36:15,800 --> 00:36:18,920
Speaker 3: than eighty thousand dollars, right, let's yeah, we're I mean,

706
00:36:18,960 --> 00:36:21,320
Speaker 3: people who are working hard for fifty grand are saying,

707
00:36:21,480 --> 00:36:24,960
Speaker 3: hold on a second, you're gonna give homeless, you know,

708
00:36:25,040 --> 00:36:27,680
Speaker 3: addicts eighty grand. Well, no, we're not giving homeless addicts

709
00:36:27,719 --> 00:36:31,280
Speaker 3: eighty grand. We're spending eighty thousand dollars per homeless addict

710
00:36:31,400 --> 00:36:34,920
Speaker 3: and they're not stopping the homelessness. What the heck is

711
00:36:34,960 --> 00:36:37,360
Speaker 3: going on? So I think that's an important story to

712
00:36:37,360 --> 00:36:39,600
Speaker 3: get into New York. It's elsewhere as well, And we'll

713
