Speaker 1: Welcome to today's edition of The Clay Travis and Buck
Speaker 1: Sexton Show podcast. Welcome everybody to.
Speaker 2: The Thursday edition of The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton
Speaker 2: Show from our nation's capital.
Speaker 1: Having a great time here.
Speaker 2: I got to say, I have been so impressed and
Speaker 2: thankful and humbled that Clay and I have seen so
Speaker 2: many of you are listeners around DC, and a first yesterday.
Speaker 1: Someone came up to me who wanted to take a photo.
Speaker 2: And I always all of you, don't ever be shy
Speaker 2: about if you ever want to take if you just
Speaker 2: want to shake hands or give me a high five.
Speaker 2: We love all of you who listen, all right, that
Speaker 2: is an ironclad rule. If you listen to this show,
Speaker 2: we appreciate you. We're always happy to talk to you.
Speaker 2: But at first yesterday someone came up to me to
Speaker 2: show me the photo he had taken with Clay I
Speaker 2: think earlier in the day. Bumped into him on the
Speaker 2: street and then bumped into me on the street. So
Speaker 2: that was something I gotta Seyeah. In Georgetown yesterday morning,
Speaker 2: on my way to go meet you, as we were
Speaker 2: headed out to the CIA, guy on the street comes
Speaker 2: up and he's like super excited. He said his phone
Speaker 2: was dead and so but he was like, I really
Speaker 2: really want to get a selfie with you. Love the
Speaker 2: show listen every day I leave you some South Carolina.
Speaker 1: That's right. I can tell the accent South Carolina for sure.
Speaker 2: And so so I said, all right, I'll take a
Speaker 2: picture here. I'm not a great selfie guy met My
Speaker 2: wife would say, I'm really bad at taking pictures, and
Speaker 2: not just because of what I look like, but because
Speaker 2: I'm not very good at taking the photos. But I
Speaker 2: took a picture of a selfie with us, emailed the
Speaker 2: guy from from my email and then you saw him too. Yeah,
Speaker 2: he was like, this is the after we finished dinner. Yeah,
Speaker 2: he couldn't believe it. I mean, it was our It
Speaker 2: was like twelve hours apart.
Speaker 1: And then I bumped.
Speaker 2: So, DC is a small city with a lot going on,
Speaker 2: a small city with a very big responsibility. Speaking with yesterday,
Speaker 2: we're gonna we're gonna get into the the heats getting
Speaker 2: turned up on the Middle East in Iran, and obviously
Speaker 2: the deportations and the la riots and what's going on
Speaker 2: in other cities. We're gonna dive into all that first,
Speaker 2: but just a little bit of what we're doing here.
Speaker 3: Uh.
Speaker 2: We yesterday went to as we mentioned, to Langley, to
Speaker 2: CEEIA headquarters and met with some of the senior folks
Speaker 2: over there, had some off the record conversations about what's
Speaker 2: going on. So because it's off the record, I can't
Speaker 2: tell you much about that. But Clay and I did
Speaker 2: get to go very much on the record through the
Speaker 2: spy museum they have at Langley, which was very cool.
Speaker 2: I mean, they've got some great stuff. They've really upgraded
Speaker 2: it since I was there. And then later on in.
Speaker 1: The day, I had a meeting, well, we had a meeting.
Speaker 2: Clay can explain what happened, but we had a meeting
Speaker 2: with the Director of National Intelligence Tulci Gabbard and her staff,
Speaker 2: and we is doing a lot of work. We had
Speaker 2: a scheduled meeting, well, we had a scheduled meeting that
Speaker 2: one of us went to the other one as a
Speaker 2: Tennessee resident, had a little booboo when it came to
Speaker 2: his ID. So I got rejected at the White House
Speaker 2: and the old Executive Office Building because I showed up
Speaker 2: for our meeting right after we finished the show yesterday.
Speaker 2: And I don't have a real I've been traveling with
Speaker 2: my passport. The state of Tennessee doesn't make your driver's
Speaker 2: license default real ID. I don't want to have an
Speaker 2: eight hour day spent at the DMV. Also, we have
Speaker 2: a weird schedule. We have to be on the air
Speaker 2: from eleven to two so Central time where I live
Speaker 2: in Nashville. So it's hard for me to commit to
Speaker 2: anything in the morning because it might drag into when
Speaker 2: our show starts. I got to drive back and then
Speaker 2: by the time our show gets done getting to somewhere
Speaker 2: before the DMV closes, It's like I have to take
Speaker 2: a whole day off work. And I've done it before,
Speaker 2: but to get passports, you know, for the kids.
Speaker 1: So anyway, and I show Florida, Florida just gives you
Speaker 1: real ID. I don't know.
Speaker 2: I don't have Tennessee losing some points here, Florida surging
Speaker 2: ahead in the red state sweepstakes. I'm just telling you
Speaker 2: the truth. So they wouldn't let me in the White House,
Speaker 2: can I just say? I straight up asked the Director
Speaker 2: of National Intelligence true to vouch for my man Clay
Speaker 2: like this felt like leaving him at the velvet rope
Speaker 2: at the nightclub.
Speaker 1: I was like, but you're not gonna let my buddy
Speaker 1: in and they're just.
Speaker 2: You know, the secret service guys or no, like this
Speaker 2: is the you're actually a sign. There's a sign when
Speaker 2: you go in that says you must have real I
Speaker 2: d no exceptions. But Clay, of course, because he's Clay was,
Speaker 2: I mean, I'm Clay Travis, like, you know, we.
Speaker 1: Well, I had a little we tried, we tried a
Speaker 1: little bit of that. We tried a little bit of that.
Speaker 2: He's a director of National Intelligence, said they won't let
Speaker 2: me in if I don't have proper ideas. I mean,
Speaker 2: my argument was, we did just spend all morning at
Speaker 2: the CIA, and I didn't need a real ID to
Speaker 2: get in there.
Speaker 1: But he's trying to evade the rules.
Speaker 3: You know.
Speaker 2: Oh, I was at the CIA all morning. They've heard
Speaker 2: it all, Clay, They've heard So I had to leave.
Speaker 2: I had to leave a man behind. I don't know
Speaker 2: what to say. I had to He was in the trenches,
Speaker 2: he was taking grenades, and I had to just run
Speaker 2: on the battlefield solo. One positive on this is I,
Speaker 2: as I'm standing outside in the hot, baking sun, I'm
Speaker 2: able to be let in because I don't have a
Speaker 2: real ID, which, by the way, oh, don't be one
Speaker 2: of these people, the real ID. I'm like, I am,
Speaker 2: who I am? I've had I sound like Sam, I am,
Speaker 2: I got the I've got the ID right.
Speaker 1: The fact that it.
Speaker 2: Has a little star in the corner is that somehow
Speaker 2: making the world safer, Like is anybody out there like, hey,
Speaker 2: you know that terror attack would have hit, but boy,
Speaker 2: I'm glad we have the little star circle in the corner.
Speaker 1: Of the driver's license. This is the most ridiculous thing ever.
Speaker 2: So this is not there are rules, yeah, so but
Speaker 2: positive trying to be positive. As I'm standing in the
Speaker 2: baking sunlight and the pavement standing outside of the White House,
Speaker 2: unable to go in. I ran into former NFL kicker
Speaker 2: Jay Feely, who had a real ID and was able
Speaker 2: to go in for his meetings. But he's going to
Speaker 2: be on the show in the second hour, because I
Speaker 2: was like, hey, you just want to come on the show,
Speaker 2: So I booked us a guest. While standing in the
Speaker 2: hot sunshine pavement with my not real all that sweating
Speaker 2: through your dress shirt, which worth it?
Speaker 1: I think I got you earned it.
Speaker 2: So we're gona have Jay Feely on I spoke to
Speaker 2: Tulsa d and I Gabbard and her staff again off
Speaker 2: the record, But I can just tell you that really
Speaker 2: good context for us to understand here about some of
Speaker 2: the moves that the administration is doing. This is really
Speaker 2: while we're here touch base with Trump's top team and
Speaker 2: the people who are making the big decisions. And we've
Speaker 2: got some other meetings that are scheduled that will be
Speaker 2: telling you about. I'm sure you can have some guesses who.
Speaker 2: But the point is we wanted to just have time
Speaker 2: to speak to everybody. What are you working on, what's happening,
Speaker 2: what's going on, and to do it in a way
Speaker 2: where they can just speak freely to us. And you know, look,
Speaker 2: they know we're openly, avowedly pro Trump administration, want to
Speaker 2: see success because really, I truly believe that the success
Speaker 2: of the Trump administration is the success of the country
Speaker 2: and the American people. But you always get whenever you're
Speaker 2: in DC and you can speak people freely. And again
Speaker 2: I said, can we say we've met with you, Yes,
Speaker 2: but the contents of the discussions were off the record.
Speaker 2: You get much better exchange because people, even if they
Speaker 2: trust you, they don't really they don't really trust anything
Speaker 2: in this town, so they had to keep some of
Speaker 2: that stuff between all of us. With all that in mind,
Speaker 2: the President has been talking about this. They had Leiman's
Speaker 2: rob that I pronounced that you did that was pretty
Speaker 2: thank you, thank you. They had the play going on
Speaker 2: at the Kennedy Center last night, and the President was
Speaker 2: asked about this Iran conflict and the issues associated with it.
Speaker 2: And they've been pulling You know this because when you
Speaker 2: were in the CIA, when they start pulling people out
Speaker 2: of family members, out of embassies in the Middle East,
Speaker 2: there is a sign that things are not going very
Speaker 2: well and that there is potentially tension associated with how
Speaker 2: things could go. And so the reason why I bring
Speaker 2: that up is it's seems to me Buck that Israel
Speaker 2: is ratcheting up the pressure and really wants to attack,
Speaker 2: and that they want to go into Iran and that
Speaker 2: they want to do it now. And so again there's
Speaker 2: reportedly a weekend meeting that is scheduled, but it feels
Speaker 2: to me like the Trump administration is basically letting Iran know, hey,
Speaker 2: we're not going to continue to protect you from Israel,
Speaker 2: and if we are pulling our people out of the
Speaker 2: Middle East. That is a sign that they don't necessarily
Speaker 2: know how this meeting is going to go, and things
Speaker 2: could get a lot worse. I will tell you, I
Speaker 2: think the heat is higher right now with Iran and
Speaker 2: this it's been I understand, the Iranian nuclear issue has
Speaker 2: been playing out for many years, for decades actually, and
Speaker 2: now we have now we have a situation where there's
Speaker 2: the chance that something would happen and things could get
Speaker 2: things could ask very quickly. I am not in favor
Speaker 2: of a strike by the Israelis on the Iranian nuclear
Speaker 2: facilities at this time. The Trump administration is not in
Speaker 2: favor of an Israeli strike on the Iranian nuclear facilities
Speaker 2: at this time. A deal would be much better. And
Speaker 2: I think that there's just no general feeling among the
Speaker 2: American people that we should be drawn into any kind
Speaker 2: of Mini's conflict right now. That's really something that we
Speaker 2: just for most of my adult life, Clay, we've been
Speaker 2: fighting wars in the Middle East. It's just too much.
Speaker 2: And I showed up in some of these war zones,
Speaker 2: did what I could, what little bit I could to help.
Speaker 2: But this is something that I think really guides the
Speaker 2: Trump foreign policy on this and this is going to
Speaker 2: get there's going to be some tension around this issue
Speaker 2: because there are people that really truly believe that the
Speaker 2: Iranian regime is so maniacal, so blood thirsty, that it
Speaker 2: would use nukes against israel I. You know, this is
Speaker 2: where you're playing the highest the highest stakes imaginable. You're
Speaker 2: talking about this level of war and piece. But I
Speaker 2: do think that they're still a realistic and strong might
Speaker 2: be too much possibility, but a realistic possibility that Trump
Speaker 2: can get this done without without this becoming a point
Speaker 2: of conflict when you're talking about evacuating embassies. The issue
Speaker 2: isn't that we would lose for against Iran, that we'd
Speaker 2: even necessarily be brought into a war against Iran. It's
Speaker 2: the Iranian capability to engage in terror attacks against US
Speaker 2: targets all over the world, which they may just decide
Speaker 2: to go for effectively, go for broke if those facilities
Speaker 2: get hit, because it would destabilize the regime the Iranian people,
Speaker 2: something that doesn't get talk about in this country, Clay,
Speaker 2: the Iranian people, as much as we're always told they
Speaker 2: are very pro Western, they don't like their regime.
Speaker 1: They do for the greatness of Iran to be a
Speaker 1: nuclear power.
Speaker 2: This is something that does not get talked about, but
Speaker 2: the Iranian people want a lot of them. Now, you
Speaker 2: could say, how could you know with the polling? You know,
Speaker 2: there are ways that you can assess this stuff. But
Speaker 2: there's a national pride component of Iran getting this that
Speaker 2: makes it more complicated. It's not quite as clear as
Speaker 2: split with the regime on this issue as we would
Speaker 2: like it to be. Yeah, and look, I think the
Speaker 2: challenge in general, you understand why Iran wants nuclear weapons
Speaker 2: because Kim Jong un has them and basically he's preserved
Speaker 2: his family's ability to rule North Korea for generations to
Speaker 2: come unless somebody internally takes him out. I don't think
Speaker 2: anybody externally. Is why did Ukraine? If Ukraine could change
Speaker 2: one decision they made since the fall of the Berlin Wall,
Speaker 2: I bet it would be not giving up their nukes
Speaker 2: because do you think Russia would have invaded Ukraine if
Speaker 2: Ukraine kept the nukes? This is, unfortunately the the takeaway
Speaker 2: from what happened in Libya, where the or the Obama
Speaker 2: and Hillary administration decided that they were going to engage
Speaker 2: in this NATO air war to help militias on the
Speaker 2: ground overthrow. And then of course Benghazi happened, and we
Speaker 2: remember some of this history, but Kadafi was actually cooperating
Speaker 2: with the dismantling of and avoiding WMD programs, and we
Speaker 2: decided a meaning the US government, you know what, not
Speaker 2: good enough, and they went in and we saw the
Speaker 2: videos of what happened to Kadafi. It's very hard to commit.
Speaker 2: And by the way, I think it's interesting. I wonder
Speaker 2: how many people before I just said it now knew
Speaker 2: that it is. It is just known that the Iranian
Speaker 2: people want nukes, like this is not some thing that
Speaker 2: I have said that is a fringe believer theory. But
Speaker 2: it makes this a more complicated situation because the Iranian
Speaker 2: regime has been promising the secure and you know, we
Speaker 2: don't really think of it this way because we're so
Speaker 2: used to America being the scientific power. We're so used
Speaker 2: to thinking of America as you know, of course we
Speaker 2: have nukes, and of course we have you know, satellites
Speaker 2: and space shuttles and all this amazing stuff. There is
Speaker 2: a pride in Iran among the people about the achievement,
Speaker 2: the scientific achievement of being a nuclear power.
Speaker 1: Other than this was true in Pakistan as well.
Speaker 2: Some people actually point to Pakistan and India as well,
Speaker 2: they have nukes and they weren't supposed to it. It's
Speaker 2: a now that that gets very contentious because Pakistan and
Speaker 2: India are not Iran and aren't doing the thing.
Speaker 1: Oh, Pakistan does some pretty bad stuff.
Speaker 2: But this is a moment where I think we're seeing
Speaker 2: decisions made on this issue. I don't think Clay, the
Speaker 2: decision has been made one way or the other. In
Speaker 2: my mind, that's what I that's the atmospheric that I
Speaker 2: pick up. But I will say, just talking to people
Speaker 2: here in the vicinity of the decision making process in DC,
Speaker 2: they're very tense talking about Iran right now. Well, I
Speaker 2: think that's one hundred percent true. And remember, the motivation,
Speaker 2: according to multiple reports, for why Hamas attacked Israel on
Speaker 2: October seventh, was that Saudi Arabia was prepared to join
Speaker 2: the Abraham Accords. And if Saudi Arabia had joined the
Speaker 2: Abraham Accords, then the peace in the Middle East situation
Speaker 2: would have been far more likely. And now that Syria
Speaker 2: we have in some ways normalized relations with Syria, I
Speaker 2: think that Iran is isolated to a degree that may
Speaker 2: not have occurred in a generation, and that this is
Speaker 2: where Israel believes now is the time to hit them
Speaker 2: and keep them from having nukes. Whether the United States
Speaker 2: is going to agree with that Israeli perspective remains to
Speaker 2: be seen, but I think Israel is quite clearly behind
Speaker 2: the scenes advocating as aggressively as possible that now is
Speaker 2: the time to go. Yes, well, the problem and I
Speaker 2: think the Israeli government, I know, Clay, you went and
Speaker 2: visited and spoke to high level officials there, but one
Speaker 2: of their concerns is also that without any fear of
Speaker 2: any real military direct attack on Iran, does that then
Speaker 2: embolden the Iranian regime to push It's what are essentially
Speaker 2: imperial and and almost colonizing activities by running these different
Speaker 2: proxy militias in places like Lebanon with hesbelah Uh and
Speaker 2: the Shia milicious. Why are we so worried about Iraq
Speaker 2: and the US embassy in Iraq, Well, it's because the
Speaker 2: most capable military forces on the ground, when when push
Speaker 2: comes to shove and and shove comes to shooting, are
Speaker 2: Iranian backed and trained proxy militias. Essentially, so this is
Speaker 2: This is a huge challenge, a huge problem that we
Speaker 2: face and and I think that this is a test
Speaker 2: of the Trump administration's foreign policy and a test of
Speaker 2: our relationship with well allies in the Middle East, Israel
Speaker 2: first and foremost. So that's absolutely something we'll continue to
Speaker 2: follow well, also dive deeper into the riots la all
Speaker 2: that stuff here in just a moment, but in the meantime,
Speaker 2: Israelis have been under attack one a kind or another
Speaker 2: for more than a year and a half. It's when
Speaker 2: they need friends and support the most, which is why
Speaker 2: we're partnered. You mentioned buck my trip over to Israel
Speaker 2: in December. It's why we're partnered with the International Fellowship
Speaker 2: of Christians and Jews. They're feeding elderly Holocaust survivors who
Speaker 2: have no one else. They're building bomb shelters to protect
Speaker 2: kids from rocket attacks. They're providing security essentials to first responders.
Speaker 2: I have seen all of this with my own eyes.
Speaker 2: The IFCJ has risen to this challenge with your help,
Speaker 2: and I can tell you that they are putting your
Speaker 2: donations to excellent work. We spent time with the IFCJ
Speaker 2: team last week in Florida, and they continue to work hard,
Speaker 2: to stand up for so many people in need in
Speaker 2: the Holy Land. When you give a gift of forty
Speaker 2: five dollars to the IFCJ, you're putting faith into action
Speaker 2: right where it's needed the both the right where it's
Speaker 2: needed the most. Call eight eight eight four eight eight IFCJ.
Speaker 2: You can all so visit IFCJ dot org to bless
Speaker 2: Israel today with your donation. Again, that's IFCJ dot org
Speaker 2: or eight eight eight for eight eight if CJ. We
Speaker 2: are in Washington, d C. And in Washington, d C.
Speaker 2: You run into different people all the time. And yesterday
Speaker 2: on the sidewalk outside of the White House, I ran
Speaker 2: into one of the next congressmen from the great state
Speaker 2: of Arizona. He is Jafeely, been on before all right,
Speaker 2: So you are making the rounds in Washington, DC's you
Speaker 2: get ready for a primary season. What is it like
Speaker 2: to go from kind of a political I know you
Speaker 2: have political opinions out there to now being a full
Speaker 2: bore congressional candidate.
Speaker 1: What has surprised you the most about the process?
Speaker 4: The amount of work you have to do fundraising, you know,
Speaker 4: and I'll be honest, like it shouldn't be about that
Speaker 4: we shouldn't have to raise a ton of money because
Speaker 4: we want our best people in Washington, DC representing our country,
Speaker 4: you know, so I shouldn't be about having to go
Speaker 4: out and raise money and then whoever raised the most money,
Speaker 4: they're going to have an advantage.
Speaker 1: But that's the reality of the system.
Speaker 4: And so you have to spend five six hours a
Speaker 4: day doing call time, calling people, trying to generate those donations,
Speaker 4: and then they judge you by like how much money
Speaker 4: you raised.
Speaker 2: You know, do you ever have a conversation with somebody
Speaker 2: where you just want to talk about saving America and
Speaker 2: having the funds to do it, and they want to
Speaker 2: talk about that second kick you bade.
Speaker 1: This has ever come up? Yeah, for sure, you know.
Speaker 4: But you know, it's kind of fun because I call
Speaker 4: somebody out of the blue and they actually know who
Speaker 4: I am.
Speaker 1: Oh, yeah, you were the kicker or you were the announcer,
Speaker 1: And so it gives.
Speaker 4: You that avenue to say, yeah, here's what I did,
Speaker 4: and here's why I'm willing to walk away from an
Speaker 4: announcing job where I only had to work five months
Speaker 4: of the year. Yeah, you know, and I got paid
Speaker 4: well to do it, and I love doing it. It
Speaker 4: was fun. But this is how much I care about
Speaker 4: my country that I want to walk away from that
Speaker 4: job and I want to represent the people of Arizona
Speaker 4: and DC.
Speaker 2: I bet for the most part, this is something that
Speaker 2: is very hard to do and learn how to do.
Speaker 1: Ask for money so hard because I hear people who don't.
Speaker 2: I mean, it's one thing if you're in sales or
Speaker 2: your fundraising things like that, that's a job that some
Speaker 2: people have. But when I talk to people who have
Speaker 2: not done politics before, you mentioned it right off the top,
Speaker 2: the ask for hey, can you help me?
Speaker 1: How tough is that? Well, you have to sit there.
Speaker 4: You don't even get a tax deduct shit if you're
Speaker 4: donating to my campaign.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so it's terrible.
Speaker 4: But at the same time, the more you do it
Speaker 4: and when you meet people, I think, right now, in
Speaker 4: America you have two different distinct parties that have completely
Speaker 4: different views of what America should look like, you know,
Speaker 4: and they've never been further apart, not in my lifetime,
Speaker 4: you know. So I think those people that love our
Speaker 4: country and that truly believe that President Trump and his
Speaker 4: America First policies are making our country better, they want
Speaker 4: to support candidates that are going to support him and
Speaker 4: that are willing to be advocates and willing to go
Speaker 4: on TV and aren't afraid of the blowback.
Speaker 1: And you know, that's the kind of guy I am.
Speaker 1: That's who I'll be in Congress. One of the most
Speaker 1: important things that you would want to tackle, assuming you
Speaker 1: win this seat, well for for all Americans. I was
Speaker 1: not supposed to be. Uh No.
Speaker 4: The words there, the tackling, and I love the tackle.
Speaker 2: So you know that, how many articles have you made
Speaker 2: in your career? I think about fifty?
Speaker 1: Oh that's a lot. Thought.
Speaker 4: Oh, I was a guy running down there like I
Speaker 4: was going to hit you. That was fun for me.
Speaker 4: Kicking was my Jobling somebody was When the kicker annihilates somebody,
Speaker 4: the stadium goes insane. But I'm like standing up, jacked up.
Speaker 4: Then I go back to Silm, like, oh my gosh,
Speaker 4: what was the.
Speaker 1: Best hit you ever had on something? Ted Gin?
Speaker 2: Oh?
Speaker 1: Question?
Speaker 2: Yeah, so when you hit ted ginn and you laid
Speaker 2: him out? What does ted gin say anything when he
Speaker 2: gets wrecked by a kicker? Again, Well, I had just
Speaker 2: been teammates, so I wasn't really hitting ted Gin. I
Speaker 2: was hitting Bill Parcells, but like through Ted Kin, because
Speaker 2: I had I had. I was with the Dolphins, I
Speaker 2: led the league in field goal percentage, had the best
Speaker 2: year of my career, and then Bill Parcells came in.
Speaker 4: They fired everybody. He didn't like that I was the
Speaker 4: player rep. He didn't like that I did media. He
Speaker 4: wanted his kicker to go stand in awner and not
Speaker 4: say a word. So they cut me and released me
Speaker 4: after my best year.
Speaker 1: So when I was.
Speaker 4: Running down on that kickoff against the Dolphins the next
Speaker 4: game I played them, I was hitting Bill Parsons, saw
Speaker 4: Bill Parcell's face, Tony sprout, no question, But I literally
Speaker 4: never broke stride and Ted game was going out right
Speaker 4: and he cut back left and he cut back right
Speaker 4: into me, and I hit him and knocked him back
Speaker 4: about five yards. And that was like the highlight of it,
Speaker 4: even better than the touch that I scored. Like that
Speaker 4: was the moment for me.
Speaker 1: All right, So what are the issues that you would
Speaker 1: like to Yeah, ress issues?
Speaker 4: I think truly the two biggest issues for Americans. It's
Speaker 4: border and security, and it's the economy, you know, and
Speaker 4: when you look at what happened over the last four
Speaker 4: years with the Biden administration and Democrats in general, they
Speaker 4: willingly let tens of millions of llegals come into this
Speaker 4: country and put politics in front of the protection of
Speaker 4: the American people. They can't get away with that. They
Speaker 4: said for four years, we need a bill pass, we
Speaker 4: can't do anything, we need a bill pass. And then
Speaker 4: Trump comes in and in four months completely close down
Speaker 4: the border and secure the border. And so the American
Speaker 4: people need to hold Democrats accountable for that. They want
Speaker 4: to ignore it and all the issues that we're seeing
Speaker 4: in la and throughout the country that goes directly back
Speaker 4: to what they did at the border and the decisions
Speaker 4: they made to let those people come across. And I'm
Speaker 4: an advocate for legal immigration, like I had two kids
Speaker 4: that we brought legally from Haiti and helped them go
Speaker 4: to college. You know, So when I stand up there
Speaker 4: and talk about securing the border and not having illegal immigration,
Speaker 4: I think we also have to be able to say, hey,
Speaker 4: it's okay to love immigrants and to want more legal
Speaker 4: immigration and an easier legal immigration process while being ardently
Speaker 4: against illegal immigration. I think those two things get conflicted,
Speaker 4: and then the economy. People just want to be able
Speaker 4: to look at their future, especially young My son's here
Speaker 4: with me, he's on the campaign, you know, just got married.
Speaker 4: Him looking at buying a house in our district. Median
Speaker 4: house four hundred and fifty thousand. That's you know, it's
Speaker 4: doubled twice in the last like six years out in Arizona.
Speaker 4: And you see that across the country, this massive inflation.
Speaker 4: And so you have to find ways to help people
Speaker 4: like believe in their future, believe that I'm going to
Speaker 4: be able to provide for my family and that I'm
Speaker 4: going to have a job, you know, And I think
Speaker 4: that's the job of President Trump and the Republicans right now.
Speaker 1: Create a bill that helps everyone.
Speaker 4: Create a bill that helps the economy, that grows the
Speaker 4: economy and provides opportunity for everyone.
Speaker 2: You have been in sports for a long time. I
Speaker 2: saw you weigh in on this. We talked about it
Speaker 2: earlier the week on the show. She sense apologized, what
Speaker 2: did you think when Simone Biles went after Riley Gaines?
Speaker 4: Obviously, you know she didn't have the full concept of
Speaker 4: what she was talking about, because now she's pulled back
Speaker 4: those comments. You know, but as a dad who coached
Speaker 4: his daughter's high school girls high school soccer team. You know,
Speaker 4: they didn't have a girls team when my daughter was
Speaker 4: going into high school. I'm like, that's ridiculous. They said, well,
Speaker 4: we need a coach. I said, I'll coach the team.
Speaker 4: So we started the team. You know, five years later
Speaker 4: we win a state championship. But watching those girls and
Speaker 4: what they accomplished, and the opportunities they had, and those
Speaker 4: life lessons, I don't want that taken away from any
Speaker 4: single girl because a guy decides I want to play
Speaker 4: in girls sports and the argument that they're not biologically
Speaker 4: better is absolutely ridiculous. It's completely devoid for many raps thinking.
Speaker 2: And this is important, all right, Uh, it's an issue
Speaker 2: I want to dig into since you sat down with us.
Speaker 2: Clay thinks that in his current state, he could go
Speaker 2: one v one against a w NBA player.
Speaker 1: Okay, inside, excuse me, I'm setting this up.
Speaker 2: I just I don't want him think that I'm going
Speaker 2: to break down. Caitlyn already hedging. Okay, he's pretty hedging.
Speaker 2: But but he thinks that he could, you know, old
Speaker 2: man style, use that use that wide body, back back
Speaker 2: or down until you shoot.
Speaker 1: Game to eleven. That was a pretty good shooter. I
Speaker 1: didn't say. Now you said in the past ten, I'm saying, you.
Speaker 2: Say, Clay thinks game to eleven. He can take Angel
Speaker 2: Reese and has put up a quarter of a million dollars.
Speaker 1: I want to see it.
Speaker 2: I mean the idea I would see what I would too?
Speaker 2: Would you back his player? Would you hedge against our
Speaker 2: man Clay?
Speaker 4: I think I could go and I could take on
Speaker 4: the women's US national team in soccer right now, at
Speaker 4: forty nine years old as well.
Speaker 1: I think I could go out there and play with him.
Speaker 2: Probably could could dominate with your with your Yeah, you're
Speaker 2: voice athletes, So your question is an important one that that.
Speaker 2: So the only recent basketball play I have had was
Speaker 2: against my eighth grade son. Now he's a pretty good
Speaker 2: basketball player, but he's probably five eight five nine, so
Speaker 2: I'm bigger than him and I beat He's gonna be
Speaker 2: so disappointed that I said this publicly to millions of people.
Speaker 2: I beat him head to head in the backyard. Now, Uh,
Speaker 2: he was really upset, Uh that that I beat him.
Speaker 2: So that's the last time.
Speaker 3: Job.
Speaker 2: Some people are like, hey, I'll let him win. I
Speaker 2: was like, no, I'm gonna make him work. Now he's
Speaker 2: had about three or four months since then where he
Speaker 2: has continued on the swing and a dad's definitely on
Speaker 2: the downswing. And the last time I played, I don't
Speaker 2: know if you know this in a competitive game, and
Speaker 2: this is a sad thing, but they have like Warrior
Speaker 2: basketball leagues and I played I probably seven or eight
Speaker 2: years ago in Nashville, and I do remember Buck, which
Speaker 2: is why I'm saying inside not I remember being in
Speaker 2: a defensive crouch and not a great basketball player against me,
Speaker 2: cross me over. And I was like, well, he's going
Speaker 2: to cross me over. I should take a step to
Speaker 2: the side. So I'm still in front of him, and
Speaker 2: I just didn't move, you know, like were you having
Speaker 2: mine in the body?
Speaker 1: Were alive?
Speaker 2: I knew what I knew what I should do. I
Speaker 2: was like, all right, he's taking me to the right.
Speaker 2: Now he's gonna come back to the left. And I
Speaker 2: was like, I should just step over. And there are
Speaker 2: montages already in the heads of the audience where you've
Speaker 2: seen Rocky. I'm gonna be on the bicycle next to
Speaker 2: Clay telling him, you know, if he if he gets
Speaker 2: this Angel Reese showdown that he wanted. I got to
Speaker 2: train them my eighth grade son's basketball team. They're rising
Speaker 2: ninth graders now, they're pretty good, and they were like, hey,
Speaker 2: we will train you.
Speaker 1: So I play with LPGA girls and golf.
Speaker 4: Yes, there's a couple of members that will I'll play
Speaker 4: with them and I can beat them when I play well.
Speaker 4: And I'm a two, so not great, you know, but
Speaker 4: like when I play one, I putt well, I can
Speaker 4: beat them head to head.
Speaker 2: That's from playing from the men's t's. I'm playing the
Speaker 2: exact same tis right all the way back right. So
Speaker 2: if you take a dude, you know, like here my
Speaker 2: son is out here is twenty two. He's a two
Speaker 2: as well, but he hits it like three fifty.
Speaker 4: You know, if he decided I want to play in
Speaker 4: the LPGA Tour and I'm going to identify as.
Speaker 1: A woman, yeah, it's it's ridiculous. Yeah, you know, they
Speaker 1: would dominate that tour.
Speaker 4: Just like Serena Williams say, Hey, if I played, you know,
Speaker 4: the fiftieth or a hundredth rate, man, like, I'd get
Speaker 4: my butt kicked.
Speaker 1: I might.
Speaker 2: I might have to bring your services as an announcer
Speaker 2: into the mix if we do this. Clay angel Rey
Speaker 2: showed out I.
Speaker 1: Will this thing properly. Yeah, yeah, I will.
Speaker 2: By the way, the UH athletes, white, Black, Asian, Hispanic
Speaker 2: men in particular, athletes, guys who even played high school, college,
Speaker 2: or pro. Are there any guys that actually think this
Speaker 2: is okay that you've ever met of any background?
Speaker 4: I don't think rational men. Do you know you talk
Speaker 4: about a locker room. We talked about this last time.
Speaker 4: I think maybe five percent, less than five percent, because
Speaker 4: you know how special sports is, and you know the
Speaker 4: impact that it has on people's lives and how it
Speaker 4: can change the direction of someone's life, and I think
Speaker 4: that's what makes it so special, and you want to
Speaker 4: protect that for women. It's not saying that I don't
Speaker 4: love somebody who's transgender. I don't want to see them happy.
Speaker 4: That's not it at all. You're saying, hey, let's protect
Speaker 4: sports for women and make sure that we're not taking
Speaker 4: something away an accomplishment from somebody because some guy says
Speaker 4: I want to compete in women's swimming or I want
Speaker 4: to compete in a women's sports.
Speaker 1: Just not right, it's not fair, and it's not safe.

Speaker 2: leave us messages easy way to get through to the show,
Speaker 2: and a lot of them, as regularly are the case,
Speaker 2: are fantastic and we enjoy listening to those. And we've
Speaker 2: talked a little bit about the fact that the New
Speaker 2: York City Mayor's race is coming up very fast. And
Speaker 2: by mayor's race we mean when it's unfortunate, but oftentimes, now,
Speaker 2: whoever wins the primary on the Democrat side is going
Speaker 2: to be the mayor New York's current mayor. For those
Speaker 2: of you have been paying Eric paying attention Eric Adams,
Speaker 2: we don't know exactly what he's gonna do. Maybe he's
Speaker 2: going to run as an independent. He's not running in
Speaker 2: the Democrat primary. And right now, Andrew Cuomo is the favorite.
Speaker 2: And we talked about this, and Buck does a phenomenal
Speaker 2: Andrew Cuomo.
Speaker 1: Thank you.
Speaker 2: Uh if Buck does a phenomenal Andrew Cuomo impersonation, and uh,
Speaker 2: I'm gonna play this is actually crazy because as much
Speaker 2: as you may think Andrew Cuomo is a crazy man,
Speaker 2: as much as you may think Andrew Cuomo is not
Speaker 2: worthy of being the mayor, and Buck, as a former
Speaker 2: New York City resident born and raised, you may take
Speaker 2: this as a crazy take. I actually think Andrew Cuomo
Speaker 2: is as Democrat candidates go, maybe the rational reasonable one
Speaker 2: you believe this. This is like being told that you
Speaker 2: have the choice of amputating your hand or both of
Speaker 2: your legs. You know, this is a very tough decision
Speaker 2: to be made, and it's not a fun one no
Speaker 2: matter what. Yeah, it's uh, you're gonna have to chop
Speaker 2: a finger off and uh and then which one are
Speaker 2: you gonna decide to go with? Yes, I agree, but
Speaker 2: I want to play for you. This is I believe
Speaker 2: team may make sure that I'm correct on this. This
Speaker 2: is I believe considered to be again based on polling,
Speaker 2: the top candidate against Cuomo, Zoran Mamadanni.
Speaker 1: Zoran Mamadanni.
Speaker 2: This is the guy who was endorsed by AOC recently
Speaker 2: that we were talking about yesterday. If I'm not mistaken,
Speaker 2: listen to this crazy town perspective that he had back
Speaker 2: in twenty twenty. He said that police should be removed
Speaker 2: from high crime areas all together, and that he believes
Speaker 2: cops should be replaced with social workers. This is how
Speaker 2: crazy town some of these decisions are. And this is
Speaker 2: a top candidate to potentially be New York City mayor.
Speaker 2: Listen to cut one.
Speaker 5: Do you think that we have to almost do without
Speaker 5: pleasing in certain areas which our label would be in
Speaker 5: high primes to have alternative bodies the listen in a
Speaker 5: more compassionate, more merciful, more social assistant and helping more
Speaker 5: than arresting and putting in jail.
Speaker 6: I absolutely think that what we need to do is
Speaker 6: give support and funding two institutions that are trained to
Speaker 6: deal with.
Speaker 1: These kinds of issues.
Speaker 6: As you said, if you're having an argument with someone
Speaker 6: and there's a risk of it escalating, who is better
Speaker 6: positioned to de escalate it someone who is well known
Speaker 6: in the community, or someone who has been trained specifically
Speaker 6: in de escalation, or a stranger who has a gun.
Speaker 2: This is moronic, moronic beyond words. One of the reasons
Speaker 2: that this will not this will not be something that
Speaker 2: New Yorkers go for this in this election, meaning specifically
Speaker 2: on this issue of depolicing, which is what he's what
Speaker 2: year was that was back in Oh yeah, yeah, of
Speaker 2: course I was going to say. He was saying this
Speaker 2: because that was what the politics of the moment demanded.
Speaker 2: As we have seen and as we know from the numbers,
Speaker 2: the BLM movement has resulted in substantially more homicide in
Speaker 2: this country. Disproportionately affecting members of the minority community. So
Speaker 2: more people, particularly black and brown people, dead than would
Speaker 2: have been had they not mounted this campaign to depolice
Speaker 2: these areas. And here's what's remarkable. I think about what
Speaker 2: we've seen and what we've learned since then, not just
Speaker 2: based on the numbers play because of police body camps,
Speaker 2: these arguments that are made are much more difficult and
Speaker 2: because of the proliferation of videos. I'll give you an example.
Speaker 2: Here we are Washington, DC. It was actually a former
Speaker 2: I believe a former Georgetown basketball player. The incident involved
Speaker 2: as a female. Yeah, that's right, and she was a
Speaker 2: former Georgetown University basketball player and it was a wellness call.
Speaker 2: So this is the perfect example, a wellness call by
Speaker 2: a Virginia police officer to check on somebody who was
Speaker 2: in substantial distress. Right that that was the backstory, And
Speaker 2: when he came to the door, and it's all on video,
Speaker 2: she grabbed a large razor sharp kitchen knife and tried
Speaker 2: to kill him and he had to shoot her, and
Speaker 2: he was entirely justified. It's very sad, as she clearly
Speaker 2: was having some kind of a mental breakdown, but there's
Speaker 2: no choice here, right. I mean, if somebody attacks you
Speaker 2: like that, you have an absolute human right, not just
Speaker 2: the legal right, a human right to defend yourself. What
Speaker 2: if a social worker had been there, Well, if a
Speaker 2: social worker had been there, it would have been a
Speaker 2: dead body that you know, would have been unable to
Speaker 2: protect himself or herself. That's just one example. But when
Speaker 2: you look at the situations that they that they oppose,
Speaker 2: that they talk about, oh, we need violence, like this
Speaker 2: was the thing they used to talk about violence interrupters.
Speaker 2: The only person that has any chance of being a
Speaker 2: violence interrupter is somebody who is on the side of
Speaker 2: the good guys and can do violence to protect those
Speaker 2: who are being victimized himself or herself. There's no chance
Speaker 2: that you're gonna call it together in the moment, some
Speaker 2: special you know, healer of the people, who's just gonna
Speaker 2: be like, oh, everything's fine, guys, like put your guns down.
Speaker 1: And also, who would want that job totally?
Speaker 2: So who who would want to get called in the
Speaker 2: middle of the night and told hey, there's a super
Speaker 2: violent situation.
Speaker 1: Can you talk them down with no weapons?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 1: I mean, is there anybody who I don't want to
Speaker 1: sign up? For that joke.
Speaker 2: You know why this is, I mean I remember this
Speaker 2: very much because I was absolutely furious about what was
Speaker 2: going on in New York.
Speaker 1: You know that riot.
Speaker 2: There was a BLM riot on my block and shattered
Speaker 2: all the store or storefronts, and you know, restaurants had
Speaker 2: their doors kicked in and their windows broke in and
Speaker 2: stuff like that. And I remember when all this is
Speaker 2: going on, they were making these kinds of crazy arguments.
Speaker 2: It was a real mass hysteria moment in the country.
Speaker 2: It's a true it was part of COVID made everyone
Speaker 2: freak out, and then the left, the street communists use
Speaker 2: this to get everyone to go crazy. But they made
Speaker 2: these kinds of arguments then. I don't think they can
Speaker 2: get away with making these kinds of arguments now because
Speaker 2: we see what actually.
Speaker 1: Happens and what the reality is.
Speaker 2: Oh and also when they would say things like we
Speaker 2: need violence interrupters, when you would actually talk to these people,
Speaker 2: this came out over time, it was well, I mean,
Speaker 2: I need a cop there with me, right, Like, I'm
Speaker 2: not just showing up between the gang members who are armed,
Speaker 2: who are about to shoot each other as if also
Speaker 2: you can just it's like a Batman movie where someone
Speaker 2: just appears right when the bad guys are about to do.
Speaker 1: You know, that's a movie that's not reality.
Speaker 3: Right.
Speaker 2: The only thing that really works from a law enforcement perspective,
Speaker 2: the NYPD.
Speaker 1: All the data shows this is you put it.
Speaker 2: They call it cops on dots, more cops in places
Speaker 2: where bad things are happening, so that the you know,
Speaker 2: ninety five percent of people who commit no crimes or
Speaker 2: ninety nine or whatever the number is, they get to
Speaker 2: go to work, and they get to go to the
Speaker 2: grocery store, and they get to do things safely. And
Speaker 2: the people that want to commit crimes have to deal
Speaker 2: with the consequences of their action. So the point here
Speaker 2: is the New York City mayoral candidate number two, Zora Mundati,
Speaker 2: is an insane communist and the fact that anybody would
Speaker 2: vote for him is a total indictment of the insanity
Speaker 2: of the Democrat electorate in New York. And this is
Speaker 2: really gonna hurt Moses from San Diego at co Go
Speaker 2: there where we've been number one for a while, off
Speaker 2: and on. We appreciate everybody listening in southern California. He
Speaker 2: has asked, please don't talk about Andrew Cuomo anymore, and unfortunately,
Speaker 2: I think he's gonna be the mayor, and even more unfortunately,
Speaker 2: I think he may be the best of a series
Speaker 2: of awful choices.
Speaker 1: Listen to BB here.
Speaker 3: Good morning man, congratulations on your continued success. Look, do
Speaker 3: all of us listeners a favor and just summarize anytime
Speaker 3: that idiot como speaks, there has never been a more
Speaker 3: sanctimonious and completely He is a condescending ah. Don't ever
Speaker 3: play his voice again, please, Moses.
Speaker 1: I feel like I do not have your vote, Moses.
Speaker 2: I would like to work for your vote as mayor
Speaker 2: and as a future presidential candidate under the Democrat ticket.
Speaker 2: I guess Moses does not believe in Andrew Cuomo's ability
Speaker 2: to part the Red sea and lead him to a
Speaker 2: primrose path of victory in our nation's largest city.
Speaker 1: But this is the choices were left with.
Speaker 2: And I don't even know what the impact would be
Speaker 2: if this crazy town individual ended up the mayor. I mean,
Speaker 2: Bill de Blasio was a disaster, horrible. I mean I
Speaker 2: built the difference between the Blasio and Adams. And remember
Speaker 2: I still have half of my family and my parents,
Speaker 2: my sister half my family still lives in New York City,
Speaker 2: so I'm hearing about it all the time, and our
Speaker 2: team is based out of New York City on radio, right.
Speaker 2: So the thing with Bill Deblasia was that he made
Speaker 2: the city.
Speaker 1: Suffer and thought it was what we deserved in New York.
Speaker 2: Whereas Mayor Adams tried to fix it, he's just incapable
Speaker 2: of doing it. He just isn't up for the job.
Speaker 2: So it's a different Both of them are not good
Speaker 2: enough at what they were trying to do. But with Adams,
Speaker 2: it was not that much really of an improvement at all.
Speaker 2: So that was pretty pretty disappointing. But unfortunately that is
Speaker 2: the reality that we were reality that we were facing
Speaker 2: at that time.
Speaker 1: So we'll see what happens.
Speaker 2: We'll get also, maybe we'll get our buddy, the Sage
Speaker 2: of Staten Island, Joe BURRELLI on talk about what's going
Speaker 2: on with this mayor's race, which is happening soon. It's
Speaker 2: the next big election in terms of the primary. It's
Speaker 2: going to be in the next two weeks. I think
Speaker 2: June twenty fourth is that date, if I'm not mistaken.
Speaker 2: Look when President Trump signed an executive order last month
Speaker 2: slashing the cost of prescription drug prices.
Speaker 1: He was making a point.
Speaker 2: He intends to see prescription medicine price in the country
Speaker 2: same price as you might find in Canada or throughout Europe,
Speaker 2: with the purpose of reducing medical coverage cost in the
Speaker 2: United States. Even when that fair pricing kicks in on
Speaker 2: prescriptions not going to help improve what you're getting now
Speaker 2: with Obamacare or the Affordable Care Act, which is anything
Speaker 2: but affordable. They're better healthcare options out there, like Ease
Speaker 2: for Everyone compared to Obamacare. Ease for Everyone comes with
Speaker 2: a monthly cost as low as two hundred and sixty
Speaker 2: two dollars. You get accessed over four hundred prescription drugs
Speaker 2: for free, not just at a lower cost, that's no cost,
Speaker 2: zero dollars. Unlike the broken promise of Obamacare. You can
Speaker 2: actually keep your doctor plus free unlimited virtual primary care.
Speaker 2: Get affordable healthcare for as low as two hundred and
Speaker 2: sixty two dollars a month with Ease for Everyone. The
Speaker 2: website easefo Everyone dot com slash clay. That's Ease f
Speaker 2: O R Everyone dot com slash clay.
Speaker 1: We are continuing to follow very closely these protests and riots.
Speaker 1: We're gonna use those words interchangeably. There are protests and
Speaker 1: there are riots, so you don't have to correct us
Speaker 1: when we say protests. We're aware of both of these things,
Speaker 1: and protests is fine. And as we learned from Caroline
Speaker 1: Levitt yesterday, it is a stupid question for anyone who
Speaker 1: the press to say it as President Trump. I like
Speaker 1: the way she handled that, because that was just meant
Speaker 1: to be an insult. It's like this President Trump, even
Speaker 1: the Constitution.
Speaker 2: Like, yeah, idiot, ask a real question. So I like
Speaker 2: the way that she handled that. That was great.
Speaker 1: Caroline Levitt, you know, we were on the Levit train
Speaker 1: very early. Here I'm just saying, we were on the
Speaker 1: Levet train when she was running for Congress, so we
Speaker 1: knew she was going to be a superstar. And here
Speaker 1: she is.
Speaker 2: But you had the press trying to make something of this,
Speaker 2: trying to make it seem like the American people aren't
Speaker 2: with the Trump administration efforts to enforce the law, and
Speaker 2: some very interesting things are going on with all this,
Speaker 2: with these riots, with these protests, all that stuff. First
Speaker 2: of all, I think on how this has gone over politically.
Speaker 2: Former Democrat has cut five Batya Unger, Sargon We've talked
Speaker 2: about her before here on we had her on the
Speaker 2: show recently, Yeah, we had her on the show. She
Speaker 2: was on that CNN panel The only thing worth watching
Speaker 2: at CNN. Doesn't this tell you something?
Speaker 1: Clay is the.
Speaker 2: Occasional center right person, sometimes the center, sometimes truly right wing.
Speaker 2: From Scott Jennings for Michael Singleton, Batya Unger, Sargon Ben Ferguson,
Speaker 2: the only thing watching worth watching is the conservative slapping
Speaker 2: around the Libs at that table here is Batya talking
Speaker 2: about the deportations and the truth of what Trump promised
Speaker 2: play fought.
Speaker 7: I hear this talking point a lot from Democrats that
Speaker 7: Donald Trump misled the American people and somehow said he
Speaker 7: was only going to deport violent criminals priority to every
Speaker 7: single rally that I watched, he said, we are going
Speaker 7: to have the largest deportation operation in American history. And
Speaker 7: the reason he did that is because that position has
Speaker 7: majority support with the American people. And that position is
Speaker 7: what got him the majority of working class people because
Speaker 7: immigration is a topic that divides the working class from
Speaker 7: the elites. The elites are the consumers of low wage labor,
Speaker 7: and when you guys say they're taking people from the community.
Speaker 7: What you mean is they're taking people from the workforce,
Speaker 7: people who undercut the wages of American workers, which is
Speaker 7: why the working class flipped from the Democrats to the Republicans.
Speaker 2: Two important points she's making their clay. One, Trump promised
Speaker 2: the biggest deportation operations in history. Prioritizing the worst of
Speaker 2: the worst defenders doesn't give everyone else a pass in this.
Speaker 2: It's just okay, Yeah, we're going to focus on getting
Speaker 2: the you know, child molesters and you know, gang members
Speaker 2: with blood on their hands, get them out of the
Speaker 2: country who are legal aliens first.
Speaker 1: So that's point one.
Speaker 2: Trump is doing exactly what he promised, which is why
Speaker 2: I keep saying everyone says, who voted for Trump, Yeah,
Speaker 2: I voted for this. I mean I voted for this.
Speaker 2: And the second part of it is just the exploitation
Speaker 2: of cheap labor and how central that is to the
Speaker 2: donor class, to the elites. And this brings me to
Speaker 2: they're going to have to start enforcing fines against employers
Speaker 2: with this. They have to come at this from which
Speaker 2: is going to be a little bit of a wake
Speaker 2: up call, but it needs to happen.
Speaker 1: It is illegal if you.
Speaker 2: Are employing large numbers or any numbers of illegals in
Speaker 2: your business. You're not supposed Now, someone will say, but
Speaker 2: they have fake Social Security cards and they have faked
Speaker 2: so it's a little more complicated. But for the worst
Speaker 2: defenders you need to do some deterrence enforcement. Yeah, and
Speaker 2: I do think that the degree to which illegal immigrants
Speaker 2: have incredibly detailed fake Social Security cards. You say, okay, well,
Speaker 2: how does that happen? I don't know how they get
Speaker 2: them made. But Social Security then gets paid money that
Speaker 2: never go out. So that is some element out there
Speaker 2: for people who say, okay, well how does this happen?
Speaker 2: The money still goes in for payroll taxes, except the
Speaker 2: numbers are not necessarily getting matched. Now sometimes my understanding
Speaker 2: is there is identity theft and fraud going on, and
Speaker 2: it's a complicated aspect, but yes, that factors in. I
Speaker 2: thought this was interesting too, because they tried to say
Speaker 2: for a long time, well, there's not actually riot's going
Speaker 2: on in LA. Remember Brian Stelter went on CNN and
Speaker 2: he said, remember, it's very important to note that ninety
Speaker 2: nine point nine percent of Los Angeles is having no
Speaker 2: issue at all.
Speaker 1: And meanwhile, pile.
Speaker 2: Yesterday, La Mayor Karen Bass said the city has so
Speaker 2: much graffiti that the vandalism so extensive.
Speaker 1: They won't be ready for the World Cup next year.
Speaker 2: Listen to this cut because it definitely calls into question
Speaker 2: the talking point that this is a small issue of
Speaker 2: violent and the illegal behavior.
Speaker 1: Cut eight.
Speaker 8: The graffiti that is just blanketing a number of blocks
Speaker 8: has been extensive. We are one year away from the
Speaker 8: World Cup. This is about beautifying our city and bringing
Speaker 8: our city together, and so I am calling on business leaders,
Speaker 8: community leaders, faith leaders to come together downtown in the
Speaker 8: next few days to talk about how we are going
Speaker 8: to clean up the city. Obviously, city workers are already
Speaker 8: out there removing the graffiti, but this is so extensive
Speaker 8: it's going to take community wide involvement. We had launched
Speaker 8: a program called a couple of months ago in preparation
Speaker 8: for the World Cup, and now we are called on
Speaker 8: to direct that citywide. We need people from all over
Speaker 8: the city to come to downtown and to help with
Speaker 8: this effort.
Speaker 2: Okay, I got a crazy idea for you, Buck. Maybe
Speaker 2: the people who did the graffiti, as a part of
Speaker 2: paying penance for their crimes, should have to clean up
Speaker 2: the graffiti that they created, instead of asking good people
Speaker 2: in Los Angeles who had nothing to do with this
Speaker 2: and LA Area taxpayers to clean up the mess that
Speaker 2: they created and frankly that the mayor and the governor
Speaker 2: allowed to occur. Second part on this, I actually think
Speaker 2: Trump could come out and say, why does Los Angeles
Speaker 2: deserve to host the World Cup? I mean, there are
Speaker 2: lots of cities in red states that are not rioting.
Speaker 2: You live in Florida, there's a whole heck of a
Speaker 2: lot about we'll talk about how Florida we're going to play.
Speaker 2: That cut in a sect from Ron desanteis governor. But
Speaker 2: there's a whole heck of a lot of places. I
Speaker 2: know some of these cities are already hosting the World Cup,
Speaker 2: but there are a lot of Red states out there
Speaker 2: where I think Trump could say, why should you reward
Speaker 2: a city that wasn't able to keep itself from rioting
Speaker 2: with a World Cup host? You got a year away.
Speaker 2: There's a lot of stadiums where you could host games well.
Speaker 2: I also think, as somebody who saw firsthand what a
Speaker 2: visual virus graffiti can be in New York, and this
Speaker 2: is you go back to these movies, whether it's the
Speaker 2: Charles Bronson Death Wish movies or just I think Warriors
Speaker 2: with the Gangs. I mean, all these different There was
Speaker 2: just graffiti everywhere. And when I was a kid in
Speaker 2: the city, you know, early nineties, there was in the
Speaker 2: nicest neighborhoods, there was graffiti everywhere, and it was a
Speaker 2: constant psychological menace of degradation, of barbarism.
Speaker 1: I know, people say, oh, it's just no, no, no,
Speaker 1: it's destruction of property, it's lawlessness, it's criminals, and it's
Speaker 1: just a sign of the criminality that is constantly all
Speaker 1: around you. It is a visual reminder, the same way
Speaker 1: that masks during COVID were so important to left because
Speaker 1: it was a visual reminder of who is in charge
Speaker 1: and your mandatory obedience.
Speaker 2: Right, That's what it was. It was obedience training for
Speaker 2: the masses. When you have graffiti everywhere, it is the
Speaker 2: psychological you know, the psychological assault of you're in a
Speaker 2: lawless place, You're in a place where people don't respect property,
Speaker 2: where the authorities can't actually protect you. And so I
Speaker 2: am so adamantly anti graffiti as a as a thing.
Speaker 2: I do not take it lightly. I think that it
Speaker 2: gets worse and worse and worse in places that allow.
Speaker 2: I know that it does because I see and you
Speaker 2: can turn it around. But you got to be to
Speaker 2: your point and you got to be harsh with people
Speaker 2: who do it. And one of the best ways to
Speaker 2: do it is, you know what, you can either go
Speaker 2: to prison or you can spend every weekend for the
Speaker 2: next six months cleaning up graffiti.
Speaker 1: How about that? That absolutely is the way there should be.
Speaker 2: But it also just goes the mentality of these people
Speaker 2: who were involved in these because if it's all over
Speaker 2: the city, we're talking to a lot of people who
Speaker 2: are doing this obviously, uh, and they think that the
Speaker 2: laws don't apply to them.
Speaker 1: And they're often right. Unfortunately.
Speaker 2: Well, I'm hoping that Trump is going to show that
Speaker 2: at least when it comes to immigration, and I think
Speaker 2: he is showing this, and this is the whole point.
Speaker 2: The laws do apply to them. But I'm seeing more.
Speaker 2: I even saw somebody on Twitter suggesting this says, yeah,
Speaker 2: this is what I say, if these people, if you
Speaker 2: don't have to be legal in this country, I don't
Speaker 2: have to pay taxes. Increasingly this has and you can
Speaker 2: make the same arguments my tax dollars do. I'm a
Speaker 2: nice person. I don't hurt anybody, but you don't need
Speaker 2: my tax The Treasury Department isn't going to go bankrupt
Speaker 2: without my taxes.
Speaker 1: You're gonna lock me up.
Speaker 2: You're gonna separate me from my family if I don't
Speaker 2: pay taxes. Same kind of arguments you can make about
Speaker 2: illegal immigration, except they're making it for tens of millions
Speaker 2: of But this is the same argument. I'm not hurting anybody,
Speaker 2: but you're actually breaking the law, and you're making a
Speaker 2: choice to break the law. I also think buck the
Speaker 2: way that the far left is coming together on these
Speaker 2: rallies and these riots. This cut we have here from Seattle.
Speaker 2: There are other cities where people are starting to riot.
Speaker 1: Listen.
Speaker 2: I don't know how well you'll be able to hear this,
Speaker 2: but SPD, Seattle Police Department KKK. We all know what
Speaker 2: the KKK is ku kuk plan, and then the IDF,
Speaker 2: the Israeli Defense Forces, they're all the same. This is
Speaker 2: a chant right now that's going on in Seattle. This
Speaker 2: is part of their worldview on the left, connecting all
Speaker 2: these different aspects of the world. Listen to Cut four. Okay,
Speaker 2: not necessarily the easiest slogan to chant, but buck. This
Speaker 2: is indicative of the global worldview that they are trying
Speaker 2: to bring together. We'll talk about this a bit more.
Speaker 2: We also have an unbelievable woke white protester that we're
Speaker 2: going to play for you from New York City.
Speaker 1: Will hit that as well.
