1 00:00:00,440 --> 00:00:03,080 Speaker 1: Twenty twenty four is going to be a monster year 2 00:00:03,120 --> 00:00:04,840 Speaker 1: in politics. We want to keep you up to date 3 00:00:04,880 --> 00:00:08,160 Speaker 1: on all things election, but you've got lives, family, jobs, 4 00:00:08,160 --> 00:00:10,280 Speaker 1: and you can't always listen every day to the show. 5 00:00:10,440 --> 00:00:13,200 Speaker 2: That's why we've created a podcast called twenty four that 6 00:00:13,280 --> 00:00:15,920 Speaker 2: gives a recap of our election coverage from the week. 7 00:00:16,040 --> 00:00:18,320 Speaker 1: Think of it like a highlight reel, a breakdown of 8 00:00:18,360 --> 00:00:20,919 Speaker 1: all the plays, analysis and team interviews. 9 00:00:21,040 --> 00:00:23,880 Speaker 2: Twenty four will drop at noon Eastern on Sundays in 10 00:00:23,920 --> 00:00:26,840 Speaker 2: our podcast feed.

We head now 26 00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:12,520 Speaker 1: to our friend Andy McCarthy, who is still in Chicago. 27 00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:15,320 Speaker 1: I think watching his son play for the University of 28 00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:18,520 Speaker 1: Chicago baseball team. I understand that we sent him a 29 00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:20,600 Speaker 1: New York Mets mug. It's good for a Mets fan 30 00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:22,920 Speaker 1: to get something, since most of the time all they 31 00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:25,600 Speaker 1: get is losses from my Atlanta Braves. 32 00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:29,800 Speaker 2: Right off the top. Shots at Andy play bringing the heat. 33 00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:30,839 Speaker 2: You know right away? 34 00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:33,640 Speaker 1: Andy, By the way, who do you like in the 35 00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:35,760 Speaker 1: Super Bowl? We probably won't talk to you before then. 36 00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:37,479 Speaker 1: Do you have a strong lean one way or the other? 37 00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:39,040 Speaker 1: Forty nine Ers or Chiefs. 38 00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:43,600 Speaker 5: Yeah, I think the Chiefs are. I just think mahomes 39 00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:47,160 Speaker 5: is to get into that sort of Montana Brady category, 40 00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:50,080 Speaker 5: he's got to like go on the road, win those 41 00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:52,560 Speaker 5: playoff games and get a championship, and then I think 42 00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:55,440 Speaker 5: he's in that conversation. So I think that's what's happening. 43 00:01:56,280 --> 00:01:58,920 Speaker 2: I'm on the other side, by the way, the forty 44 00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:00,840 Speaker 2: nine Ers, but that, Yeah, there we go. 45 00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:03,240 Speaker 4: We got an easy, easy battle going on there. 46 00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:05,920 Speaker 1: All right, let's dive into what we got today DC 47 00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:08,200 Speaker 1: Court of Appeals. I think you would probably say not 48 00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:12,400 Speaker 1: a surprising ruling that they're not buying Donald Trump's presidential 49 00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:13,600 Speaker 1: immunity argument. 50 00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:17,280 Speaker 2: He now faces. The Trump does in his legal team 51 00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:21,480 Speaker 2: the question, does he appeal on bank to the entirety 52 00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:24,200 Speaker 2: of the DC Court of Appeals knowing that the DC 53 00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:27,000 Speaker 2: Court of Appeals is not going to accept his argument, 54 00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:29,600 Speaker 2: and then would. 55 00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:31,639 Speaker 1: Appeal to the Supreme Court? Or do you think he 56 00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:35,880 Speaker 1: skips the en banc appeal and goes straight to the 57 00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:39,239 Speaker 1: Supreme Court. How would you assess where we are right 58 00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:41,840 Speaker 1: now as it pertains to this Jan sixth case based 59 00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:43,839 Speaker 1: on the ruling that came down this morning. 60 00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:49,160 Speaker 5: Clay, I think equally important with the fifty seven page opinion, which, 61 00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:54,480 Speaker 5: as you suggest, is a pretty thorough rejection of the 62 00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:59,120 Speaker 5: merits of his immunity claim, but probably equally important with 63 00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:04,000 Speaker 5: it is the one page, really essentially one paragraph order 64 00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:08,639 Speaker 5: that the court issued in conjunction with the opinion. And 65 00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:11,360 Speaker 5: it's very interesting. What it does is it says to Trump, 66 00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:16,280 Speaker 5: you have until Monday to file an appeal to the 67 00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:20,400 Speaker 5: Supreme Court, in which case we'll continue to hold the 68 00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:23,799 Speaker 5: case in abeyance. Until the Supreme Court acts on it. 69 00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:28,240 Speaker 5: But if you instead decide to take your thirty days 70 00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:31,200 Speaker 5: that the rules of appellate procedure give you to appeal 71 00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:36,080 Speaker 5: to the full court en bank and only then you 72 00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:38,280 Speaker 5: know which would have What would happen there is it 73 00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:41,920 Speaker 5: would get instantly denied and then he would try to 74 00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:44,600 Speaker 5: appeal to the Supreme Court. What the court basically says, 75 00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:47,280 Speaker 5: if you could try to go the rehearing unbank route first, 76 00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:51,520 Speaker 5: that is not going to stop proceedings in the district 77 00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:55,160 Speaker 5: court anymore. So you either appeal to the Supreme Court Monday, 78 00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:57,840 Speaker 5: or this case is going back to Judge chuck In 79 00:03:57,960 --> 00:04:00,880 Speaker 5: so she can start having hearings and do the requestionnaire 80 00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:02,520 Speaker 5: and all the stuff she has to do to get 81 00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:03,320 Speaker 5: ready for trial. 82 00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:05,040 Speaker 4: Have you ever seen that before? 83 00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:10,800 Speaker 5: I know I've never seen well also, I mean, is 84 00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:13,680 Speaker 5: there anything about this where you couldn't put that question 85 00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:14,240 Speaker 5: to me? You know? 86 00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:17,000 Speaker 1: This yeah thing about But the reason I'm saying, I've 87 00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:21,120 Speaker 1: never seen a court say if you appeal to us, 88 00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:25,000 Speaker 1: then we will allow the lower court proceedings to start. 89 00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:28,359 Speaker 1: Basically telling Trump you're not going to be able to 90 00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:31,359 Speaker 1: use any more time here, you better go straight to 91 00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:33,800 Speaker 1: the Supreme Court if you were advising, I've never seen 92 00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:36,279 Speaker 1: something like this. So and then to your point, none 93 00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:38,760 Speaker 1: of us have ever seen anything like this. What would 94 00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:41,320 Speaker 1: you tell Trump and his team if they came to 95 00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:45,039 Speaker 1: you in the wake of this appeal? And we all 96 00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:49,000 Speaker 1: understand that Trump's goal is to avoid this case going 97 00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:53,520 Speaker 1: to trial, ideally until after the elections already happened, but 98 00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:56,120 Speaker 1: in a minimum as long as possible. What would what 99 00:04:56,160 --> 00:04:58,279 Speaker 1: advice would you give him based on this ruling? 100 00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:00,880 Speaker 5: I tell him we have to appeals to the Supreme 101 00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:04,279 Speaker 5: Court on Monday, because I think the other thing, Clay, 102 00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:07,080 Speaker 5: that there's like another moving part here that we have 103 00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:11,720 Speaker 5: to consider, which is actually superseded the immunity in importance, 104 00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:15,000 Speaker 5: and that is that the Supreme Court has already said 105 00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:18,719 Speaker 5: they're going to hear the obstruction case in connection with 106 00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:21,960 Speaker 5: some of the January sixth defendants. And even though Trump 107 00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:24,640 Speaker 5: is not a defendant in that action, he's not a 108 00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:30,400 Speaker 5: party to that, it's immensely important because the two main 109 00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:35,320 Speaker 5: charges against Trump and the election interference are the obstruction charges. 110 00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:38,960 Speaker 5: So I think, as a practical matter, because the Supreme 111 00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:41,640 Speaker 5: Court is not going to decide the obstruction case, until 112 00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:44,960 Speaker 5: the end of June. Judge chuck In can't start a 113 00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:48,479 Speaker 5: trial until sometime after that. I would say, you know, 114 00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:52,160 Speaker 5: probably late July at the earliest, because you've got to 115 00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:54,640 Speaker 5: wait for what the court's going to say on obstruction. 116 00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:57,840 Speaker 5: So if I'm Trump's lawyers, I think I would say, well, look, 117 00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:01,880 Speaker 5: we've gotten as much out of this community thing that, 118 00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:06,080 Speaker 5: like on substance, was meritless, but was valuable to you know, 119 00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:08,560 Speaker 5: to getting the case put on ice in the district 120 00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:11,120 Speaker 5: court and achieving some delay. But at this point his 121 00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:13,760 Speaker 5: eggs are in the obstruction basket. It's no longer an 122 00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:14,520 Speaker 5: immunity thing. 123 00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:19,520 Speaker 2: Andy, what is the from the perspective of Jack Smith, 124 00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:24,120 Speaker 2: the anti Trump Democrats, given what we've seen so far, 125 00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:28,000 Speaker 2: what are they hoping this is going to play out? 126 00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:28,240 Speaker 6: As? 127 00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:28,640 Speaker 4: Right? Like? 128 00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:31,520 Speaker 2: What what is their best case scenario as you see 129 00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:34,080 Speaker 2: it from here on out in terms of obviously a 130 00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:36,240 Speaker 2: guilty verdict, but in terms of the timing and how 131 00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:37,000 Speaker 2: it comes down. 132 00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:42,000 Speaker 5: I think they go to Cheese determined to go to trial. 133 00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:46,400 Speaker 5: They go to trial in late July. I've been saying 134 00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:49,039 Speaker 5: July fifteenth, but it was pointed out to me not 135 00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:51,400 Speaker 5: long ago that July fifteenth is apparently the start of 136 00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:54,120 Speaker 5: the Republican Convention. I think that would be a little 137 00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:57,200 Speaker 5: much to start the trial on that day, But I imagine, 138 00:06:57,320 --> 00:07:00,840 Speaker 5: you know, after that, the hope for them would be 139 00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:07,320 Speaker 5: the Supreme Court doesn't do much with the obstruction case 140 00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:12,280 Speaker 5: that would disturb Smith's indictment, and then with little or 141 00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:14,520 Speaker 5: no tweaking, he can just go to trial a few 142 00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:18,200 Speaker 5: weeks later, and in the meantime, Chucken can use this 143 00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:21,760 Speaker 5: time that she now has or probably will have to 144 00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:23,640 Speaker 5: do all the pre trial stuff that you need to 145 00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:25,640 Speaker 5: get ready so that they can hit the ground running 146 00:07:25,640 --> 00:07:28,080 Speaker 5: and go to trial in July. And then they hope 147 00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:32,000 Speaker 5: buck to you know, in a federal criminal trial, the 148 00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:34,840 Speaker 5: defendant has to be there every day, and this is 149 00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:37,200 Speaker 5: estimated to be a two to three month trial. So 150 00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:39,760 Speaker 5: I think they would hope to have Trump sort of 151 00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:44,679 Speaker 5: not only chained to a courtroom from late like late 152 00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:49,960 Speaker 5: July into October, but also day after day after day, 153 00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:53,080 Speaker 5: the evidence in the case is going to be coming 154 00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:55,640 Speaker 5: out and being in the public domain and reminding the 155 00:07:55,640 --> 00:07:59,200 Speaker 5: public of everything they disliked about, And so. 156 00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:00,880 Speaker 2: Yeah, I wanted to take it from that perspective, so 157 00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:03,119 Speaker 2: we can kind of know. Worst case now from the 158 00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:07,760 Speaker 2: Trump perspective, obviously heavily involving the Supreme Court's actions. Here, 159 00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:09,720 Speaker 2: what's best case from here on out? 160 00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:15,280 Speaker 5: That's Smith that the Supreme Court issues an opinion in 161 00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:21,840 Speaker 5: the obstruction case that not only dismantles the imaginative uses 162 00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:26,840 Speaker 5: that prosecutors have made of the obstruction statute, but also says, 163 00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:29,920 Speaker 5: you know, look, just like we said last term in 164 00:08:29,960 --> 00:08:33,560 Speaker 5: the case involving the two Cuomo pronies whose convictions they 165 00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:39,440 Speaker 5: threw out, we were telling prosecutors not to creatively use 166 00:08:40,040 --> 00:08:43,679 Speaker 5: these statutes and stretch them in a way that they 167 00:08:43,679 --> 00:08:47,000 Speaker 5: were never intended to be used in order to fight 168 00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:50,720 Speaker 5: political corruption. If Congress wants to write political corruption statutes, 169 00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:53,520 Speaker 5: they can do that, but it's not up to prosecutors 170 00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:57,600 Speaker 5: to use the law this way. And if they wrote 171 00:08:57,600 --> 00:08:59,480 Speaker 5: an opinion like that, and I don't think that's out 172 00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:01,800 Speaker 5: of the realm of possibility, I wouldn't bet my life 173 00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:05,520 Speaker 5: on it, that would be a problem for Smith, not 174 00:09:05,559 --> 00:09:07,880 Speaker 5: only in connection with the obstruction but also with the 175 00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:11,120 Speaker 5: civil rights charge and the fraud charge. So I think 176 00:09:11,160 --> 00:09:14,320 Speaker 5: that's Trump's biggest hope that the Supreme Court blows it 177 00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:16,400 Speaker 5: out of the water for him on the obstruction case. 178 00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:20,920 Speaker 1: Okay, Traditionally, and again we're talking about we're talking to 179 00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:25,439 Speaker 1: any McCarthy. Everything we're talking about is unprecedented, non traditional. 180 00:09:25,760 --> 00:09:28,520 Speaker 4: Yes, in the legitimate use of the word. 181 00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:33,400 Speaker 1: As a general rule, the Department of Justice has a 182 00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:37,160 Speaker 1: policy that they do not do political trials in the 183 00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:41,560 Speaker 1: middle of elections. This has been the standard rule for 184 00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:45,600 Speaker 1: a long time, even with the idea being that was. 185 00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:48,120 Speaker 4: It twenty twenty two when they rated mar A Lago. 186 00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:50,480 Speaker 1: I think they tried to do it in August instead 187 00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:53,240 Speaker 1: of doing it in October. And what we're talking about now, 188 00:09:53,280 --> 00:09:56,400 Speaker 1: and I agree with you on timing, is the possibility 189 00:09:56,679 --> 00:10:00,040 Speaker 1: that this case would go to trial right. 190 00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:00,800 Speaker 4: In the middle of the election. 191 00:10:00,920 --> 00:10:05,120 Speaker 1: Right to your point, Trump could leave the Republican Convention 192 00:10:05,800 --> 00:10:08,480 Speaker 1: and go straight to a courtroom in d C. And 193 00:10:08,559 --> 00:10:11,560 Speaker 1: be there for the rest of July, August, September on 194 00:10:11,679 --> 00:10:13,280 Speaker 1: potentially into October. 195 00:10:13,960 --> 00:10:15,560 Speaker 4: This is really crazy. 196 00:10:16,840 --> 00:10:20,120 Speaker 2: What do you think Mayor Garland would say about that 197 00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:24,680 Speaker 2: timing and how that would play from a Department of 198 00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:25,880 Speaker 2: Justice perspective. 199 00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:29,360 Speaker 5: I think Garland will say, you know, gee whiz, I 200 00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:32,320 Speaker 5: appointed a special council here and President Biden and I 201 00:10:32,360 --> 00:10:36,240 Speaker 5: don't have anything to do with the cases against President Trump, 202 00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:39,000 Speaker 5: which was the reason. You know there shouldn't be a 203 00:10:39,080 --> 00:10:42,480 Speaker 5: special counsel in this case. The reason he appointed a 204 00:10:42,559 --> 00:10:46,079 Speaker 5: conflict of interest between the Biden Justice Department and Trump. Right, 205 00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:48,679 Speaker 5: there's a conflict of interest between the Biden Justice Department 206 00:10:48,760 --> 00:10:52,280 Speaker 5: and Biden and Hunter, but not with Trump. But the 207 00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:54,960 Speaker 5: only reason he appointed the spial Council was so that 208 00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:58,760 Speaker 5: we could indulge this that he doesn't have anything to 209 00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:01,480 Speaker 5: do with it. To Biden, Justice Department doesn't have anything 210 00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:04,240 Speaker 5: to do with the President. Biden doesn't even though Jack 211 00:11:04,280 --> 00:11:08,520 Speaker 5: Smith is executing President Biden's power under the auspices of 212 00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:11,560 Speaker 5: the Justice Department, they're pretending they have nothing to do 213 00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:13,760 Speaker 5: with it. And then they'll just say Smith's going to 214 00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:15,200 Speaker 5: do whatever he's going to do. And it looks like 215 00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:17,719 Speaker 5: he's hell bent on going to trial whenever he can go. 216 00:11:17,840 --> 00:11:22,880 Speaker 5: That's clear they've made up this fantasy new right that 217 00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:26,120 Speaker 5: the public has an interest in a speedy trial, when 218 00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:28,720 Speaker 5: the Constitution said it's the defendant who has an interest 219 00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:31,640 Speaker 5: in speedy trial. Public has an interest in a just trial. 220 00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:34,920 Speaker 5: Trump doesn't want a speedy trial. He wants more time. 221 00:11:36,280 --> 00:11:40,439 Speaker 5: So I think Smith is absolutely going for it whenever 222 00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:42,840 Speaker 5: he can start the trial, and it's really going to 223 00:11:42,840 --> 00:11:45,720 Speaker 5: be up to Judge Chuckin to decide how does she 224 00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:51,480 Speaker 5: want to be perceived and remembered. Does she think it's 225 00:11:51,559 --> 00:11:57,680 Speaker 5: unseemly for the judiciary to participate in what would be 226 00:11:58,280 --> 00:12:04,280 Speaker 5: to my mind, the Biden Justice Departments obviously politicized desire 227 00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:06,720 Speaker 5: to get this case to trial at a time that's 228 00:12:06,760 --> 00:12:09,679 Speaker 5: propitious for them under the election calendar. 229 00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:14,040 Speaker 2: Is there any so Andy? It sounds like either Supreme 230 00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:16,079 Speaker 2: Court steps in here or this thing is going to trial? 231 00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:16,720 Speaker 4: Right? Is that? 232 00:12:17,160 --> 00:12:19,360 Speaker 2: I mean meaning either Supreme Court shoots it down in 233 00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:21,280 Speaker 2: a way where they can't get the outcome they want, 234 00:12:21,559 --> 00:12:23,400 Speaker 2: or else you think they will be able to get 235 00:12:23,400 --> 00:12:25,720 Speaker 2: it through on the schedule where it would happen before 236 00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:26,200 Speaker 2: the election. 237 00:12:26,400 --> 00:12:27,840 Speaker 4: Is that the right read? 238 00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:31,080 Speaker 5: Yeah, I think it would be terrible to do it 239 00:12:31,160 --> 00:12:35,640 Speaker 5: that way, but they will that Smith is determined to 240 00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:39,559 Speaker 5: go to trial, and I don't see from everything I've 241 00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:43,440 Speaker 5: seen from Judge chuck Now. Look, chuck In has frozen 242 00:12:43,520 --> 00:12:46,880 Speaker 5: the case, and Smith did go to her and say, well, 243 00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:48,960 Speaker 5: even though the case is on appeal, there's other things 244 00:12:49,040 --> 00:12:51,079 Speaker 5: we could be dealing. We could be dealing with motions, 245 00:12:51,080 --> 00:12:53,080 Speaker 5: we could be dealing with the jury quist And she 246 00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:56,440 Speaker 5: said no, it's shut down. So she hasn't been a 247 00:12:56,480 --> 00:12:59,520 Speaker 5: complete rubber stamp for him, And I don't think she's 248 00:12:59,559 --> 00:13:02,640 Speaker 5: going to lie the perception that, like, if they start 249 00:13:02,679 --> 00:13:06,440 Speaker 5: this trial in August and you're running right into election day, 250 00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:09,560 Speaker 5: if I'm a judge, I don't want to be. You know, 251 00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:12,960 Speaker 5: the judiciary supposed to be there as the protection to 252 00:13:13,080 --> 00:13:19,640 Speaker 5: the defendant from abusive actions by the executive branch the 253 00:13:19,679 --> 00:13:22,200 Speaker 5: prosecution in this instance, and I think it would be 254 00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:26,560 Speaker 5: abusive under circumstances where the public has an interest in 255 00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:31,360 Speaker 5: deciding the election itself rather than having the court system decided. 256 00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:35,760 Speaker 5: To me, there's no public interest in having this case 257 00:13:36,679 --> 00:13:40,200 Speaker 5: before election day, you know. Smith says, well, you know, 258 00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:42,800 Speaker 5: the public has a right to the public knows plenty. 259 00:13:42,840 --> 00:13:45,280 Speaker 5: The public has there the indictment, the public had the 260 00:13:45,360 --> 00:13:49,000 Speaker 5: January sixth committee hearing. There's nothing about January. We watched 261 00:13:49,080 --> 00:13:52,840 Speaker 5: January sixth on television. There's nothing about this that the 262 00:13:52,880 --> 00:13:55,680 Speaker 5: public is going to find out at the trial. That 263 00:13:56,480 --> 00:13:59,640 Speaker 5: is not something we don't already know. What the Democrats 264 00:13:59,640 --> 00:14:02,600 Speaker 5: A hope for is it's like it's one big election 265 00:14:02,760 --> 00:14:05,600 Speaker 5: ad in the run up to the election, to remind 266 00:14:05,640 --> 00:14:08,120 Speaker 5: the public when they're thinking about a million other things 267 00:14:08,440 --> 00:14:09,840 Speaker 5: how much they hate at the capitol. 268 00:14:09,880 --> 00:14:10,559 Speaker 4: Ryant. 269 00:14:10,920 --> 00:14:15,720 Speaker 1: Last question for you, Andy, there's another complexity here, clearly 270 00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:18,679 Speaker 1: based on the schedule being changed, and I agree with you, 271 00:14:18,760 --> 00:14:22,280 Speaker 1: I think late July probably the earliest at best that 272 00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:25,160 Speaker 1: they could take this to trial in DC, the jack 273 00:14:25,160 --> 00:14:28,440 Speaker 1: Smith case. What do you think Democrats are telling Alvin 274 00:14:28,520 --> 00:14:32,560 Speaker 1: Bragg now, because he would theoretically be first up on 275 00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:35,640 Speaker 1: the docket. Do they push this one back and wait 276 00:14:35,760 --> 00:14:38,440 Speaker 1: and put all their eggs in the jack Smith basket? 277 00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:41,400 Speaker 1: What if that case gets dragged on and ends up 278 00:14:41,440 --> 00:14:45,000 Speaker 1: pushing because that could happen, right like, somehow things get 279 00:14:45,080 --> 00:14:48,400 Speaker 1: bogged down there and they can't start the jack Smith 280 00:14:48,440 --> 00:14:51,840 Speaker 1: case right like, and or we still have South Florida. 281 00:14:51,960 --> 00:14:54,160 Speaker 1: What do you think they're selling Alvin Bragg right now? 282 00:14:54,160 --> 00:14:56,160 Speaker 1: Do you think that case goes to trial first or 283 00:14:56,200 --> 00:14:58,720 Speaker 1: do you think they tell him to put that on hiatus? 284 00:14:59,240 --> 00:15:02,760 Speaker 5: Well, two things with that Clay. One is that you 285 00:15:02,800 --> 00:15:06,960 Speaker 5: know Alvin Bragg and the Democrats have you know, the 286 00:15:07,520 --> 00:15:10,920 Speaker 5: national Democrats, they have kind of the same agenda, you know, 287 00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:14,040 Speaker 5: they want to see Trump defeated. But Brago also has 288 00:15:14,080 --> 00:15:16,800 Speaker 5: his own constituency in New York, right, which is why 289 00:15:16,840 --> 00:15:19,320 Speaker 5: he indicted this Takamami case in the first place. So 290 00:15:19,760 --> 00:15:22,960 Speaker 5: if I'm the Democrats, I don't want the Alvin Bragg 291 00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:25,360 Speaker 5: case to go to trial because to me, that's a 292 00:15:25,440 --> 00:15:28,960 Speaker 5: no lose proposition for Trump. If he beats the case, 293 00:15:29,400 --> 00:15:31,560 Speaker 5: it's like a bonanza for him because he could he 294 00:15:31,920 --> 00:15:34,640 Speaker 5: he's got a powerful argument that this whole lawfair thing 295 00:15:34,800 --> 00:15:37,960 Speaker 5: was just a bunch of you know, made up nonsense, 296 00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:41,280 Speaker 5: then it'll be a powerful argument for him. On the 297 00:15:41,280 --> 00:15:44,440 Speaker 5: other hand, if he gets convicted, it's a really bad case, 298 00:15:44,920 --> 00:15:46,680 Speaker 5: and I think people are just going to say, look, 299 00:15:46,720 --> 00:15:49,320 Speaker 5: that's New York. They have it in for Trump, and 300 00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:51,880 Speaker 5: they're not going to care that much about it. So 301 00:15:52,120 --> 00:15:55,320 Speaker 5: if I'm the Democrats, there's nothing good that comes out 302 00:15:55,360 --> 00:15:58,720 Speaker 5: of Alvin Bragg going first. But if Bragg wants to 303 00:15:58,760 --> 00:16:01,480 Speaker 5: go first, and he's got a trial date that the 304 00:16:01,560 --> 00:16:04,120 Speaker 5: judge gave him a March twenty fifth, and there's no 305 00:16:04,240 --> 00:16:06,280 Speaker 5: federal truth, he said he would back off for a 306 00:16:06,320 --> 00:16:09,520 Speaker 5: federal trial if there's no federal trial going in March. 307 00:16:09,560 --> 00:16:11,600 Speaker 5: It'll be up to him whether he wants to push 308 00:16:11,640 --> 00:16:12,440 Speaker 5: it forward or not. 309 00:16:13,240 --> 00:16:15,680 Speaker 2: Just the future of the Republicans take everybody, no big deal, 310 00:16:15,880 --> 00:16:18,880 Speaker 2: any MacArthur, everybody of National Review, Andy, thanks for. 311 00:16:18,760 --> 00:16:19,440 Speaker 4: Being with us. 312 00:16:19,960 --> 00:16:20,600 Speaker 5: Thanks guys. 313 00:16:21,680 --> 00:16:25,200 Speaker 2: Can you capitalize on the AI technology innovations without working 314 00:16:25,200 --> 00:16:28,400 Speaker 2: for one of the tech companies involved in developing this tech, Well, 315 00:16:28,520 --> 00:16:32,840 Speaker 2: sure you can, because artificial intelligence is having impact all 316 00:16:32,880 --> 00:16:36,880 Speaker 2: around us, and there are opportunities to realize a positive 317 00:16:36,880 --> 00:16:40,800 Speaker 2: return if you choose to invest carefully. Tech expert Colin 318 00:16:40,840 --> 00:16:42,720 Speaker 2: ted Ards believes this is the beginning of a new 319 00:16:42,800 --> 00:16:45,360 Speaker 2: era that could make you rich. Colin has been watching 320 00:16:45,360 --> 00:16:47,600 Speaker 2: the markets closely. When the stock market hit rock bottom 321 00:16:47,600 --> 00:16:50,160 Speaker 2: at the end of twenty twenty two, he recommended shares 322 00:16:50,200 --> 00:16:52,800 Speaker 2: of a top software company, speculating the upside, and the 323 00:16:52,800 --> 00:16:55,560 Speaker 2: company was there. This same software company is up over 324 00:16:55,600 --> 00:16:58,080 Speaker 2: two hundred percent since then, and anyone who listened to 325 00:16:58,120 --> 00:16:59,920 Speaker 2: Colin had a chance to more than double in lets 326 00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:03,000 Speaker 2: than a year. Now he's recommending a new AI company 327 00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:05,399 Speaker 2: that he says could do even better, and he's found 328 00:17:05,400 --> 00:17:07,480 Speaker 2: a way for you to profit from this as well. 329 00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:11,560 Speaker 2: It's NEWAI project dot com. That's the website you want 330 00:17:11,560 --> 00:17:16,119 Speaker 2: to go check out new aiproject dot com. New AI 331 00:17:16,280 --> 00:17:18,880 Speaker 2: project dot com paid for by Brownstone Research. 332 00:17:19,359 --> 00:17:23,639 Speaker 3: One truth revealed after another Clay Travis and Buck Sexton. 333 00:17:23,800 --> 00:17:27,440 Speaker 2: Democrats have a problem. Well, there's a lot you could 334 00:17:27,480 --> 00:17:29,640 Speaker 2: say after that sentence, but they have a problem when 335 00:17:29,640 --> 00:17:33,600 Speaker 2: it comes to immigration, that's for sure, because even Democrats 336 00:17:33,640 --> 00:17:37,840 Speaker 2: are noticing that the situation right now. And maybe this 337 00:17:37,880 --> 00:17:40,760 Speaker 2: is all cynical. Maybe they're just noticing it because we're 338 00:17:40,760 --> 00:17:42,600 Speaker 2: in an election year and they have to pretend that 339 00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:46,639 Speaker 2: they care about the same things in this case, namely 340 00:17:46,760 --> 00:17:53,159 Speaker 2: the massive flood of illegal aliens into the country, that 341 00:17:53,200 --> 00:17:54,480 Speaker 2: they care about the same things the rest of the 342 00:17:54,480 --> 00:17:58,199 Speaker 2: country does. So it could be a headfake, could be 343 00:17:58,200 --> 00:17:58,800 Speaker 2: make believe. 344 00:17:59,480 --> 00:18:00,399 Speaker 6: But here you go. 345 00:18:00,480 --> 00:18:06,919 Speaker 2: Over on MSNBC, Al Sharpton referred to an invasion of 346 00:18:07,080 --> 00:18:08,359 Speaker 2: migrants play two. 347 00:18:08,720 --> 00:18:13,439 Speaker 7: What is being done to get the public to really 348 00:18:14,160 --> 00:18:17,520 Speaker 7: rise up in various states to say that their senators 349 00:18:17,920 --> 00:18:22,600 Speaker 7: that they want to see the borders, the border issue resolved. 350 00:18:22,640 --> 00:18:24,960 Speaker 4: I mean, you're getting migrants. 351 00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:28,000 Speaker 7: Being a policeman in the streets in New York, you're 352 00:18:28,320 --> 00:18:31,879 Speaker 7: seeing an influx of migrants all over the country that 353 00:18:32,040 --> 00:18:36,360 Speaker 7: frankly have people outraged, and couldn't there be some kind 354 00:18:36,440 --> 00:18:39,159 Speaker 7: of public pressure put in the next couple of days 355 00:18:39,160 --> 00:18:42,399 Speaker 7: in some of these senator states saying why are you 356 00:18:42,840 --> 00:18:47,160 Speaker 7: allowing this to continue? I mean, we're looking every day 357 00:18:47,280 --> 00:18:51,040 Speaker 7: at the invasion of migrants and they're playing a time 358 00:18:51,119 --> 00:18:52,600 Speaker 7: game with politics on this. 359 00:18:53,560 --> 00:18:57,320 Speaker 2: So notice now the way they're trying to play this. 360 00:18:57,640 --> 00:19:01,000 Speaker 2: They're agreeing it's an invasion of migrants. And that's Al Sharpton, 361 00:19:01,560 --> 00:19:03,679 Speaker 2: who if you know that, if you know the history, 362 00:19:03,760 --> 00:19:06,400 Speaker 2: like the life story of Al Sharpton and in professional 363 00:19:06,400 --> 00:19:08,480 Speaker 2: in public life, the fact that he has a TV 364 00:19:08,520 --> 00:19:12,040 Speaker 2: show on cable news is is truly astonishing, except it's 365 00:19:12,040 --> 00:19:14,439 Speaker 2: just a reminder that most of cable news is a 366 00:19:14,440 --> 00:19:16,720 Speaker 2: trash heap and it's just a total waste of your time. 367 00:19:17,640 --> 00:19:21,480 Speaker 2: But invasion of migrants, and the problem is that Republicans 368 00:19:21,520 --> 00:19:24,560 Speaker 2: are not dealing with it, so Clay, they can't ignore 369 00:19:24,680 --> 00:19:26,960 Speaker 2: this anymore, which is what they were doing for a 370 00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:29,719 Speaker 2: long time. There's no problem the border. The first two 371 00:19:29,800 --> 00:19:32,040 Speaker 2: years of Biden's term, the border secure was the big 372 00:19:32,080 --> 00:19:35,000 Speaker 2: lie they were telling, and now it's the invasion is 373 00:19:35,040 --> 00:19:38,840 Speaker 2: going on. It's not Biden the president's fault. It's Republican's 374 00:19:38,840 --> 00:19:42,320 Speaker 2: fault the whole thing. They don't have a real narrative here. 375 00:19:42,560 --> 00:19:46,040 Speaker 2: They just they're sputtering. They're they're desperate, they're looking for something. 376 00:19:46,800 --> 00:19:51,560 Speaker 1: Buck, just consider the Overton window of what is able 377 00:19:51,640 --> 00:19:55,600 Speaker 1: to be discussed now. And I think what Al Sharpton 378 00:19:55,720 --> 00:19:59,440 Speaker 1: is also letting you know is and you guys may 379 00:19:59,480 --> 00:20:03,080 Speaker 1: have picked up on this in your different respective communities 380 00:20:03,119 --> 00:20:07,320 Speaker 1: out there, a lot of black voters who feel like 381 00:20:07,720 --> 00:20:13,159 Speaker 1: their cities and their states are not helping people in 382 00:20:13,200 --> 00:20:16,680 Speaker 1: their community are looking around and saying, wait a minute, 383 00:20:17,400 --> 00:20:20,520 Speaker 1: we don't have the money to take care of underprivileged 384 00:20:20,560 --> 00:20:24,480 Speaker 1: people right now in New York City or Chicago or Washington, 385 00:20:24,560 --> 00:20:27,879 Speaker 1: d C. Or Atlanta or Denver or La or San Francisco, 386 00:20:27,920 --> 00:20:30,960 Speaker 1: whatever city you want to point to, and all of 387 00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:36,320 Speaker 1: these cities are giving millions and millions of dollars to 388 00:20:36,920 --> 00:20:40,320 Speaker 1: non citizens to enable them to have a better quality 389 00:20:40,320 --> 00:20:42,160 Speaker 1: of life. I don't know if you saw this, tu Buck. 390 00:20:42,960 --> 00:20:46,119 Speaker 1: I'm not claiming I'm not someone who likes to point 391 00:20:46,119 --> 00:20:50,240 Speaker 1: to celebrities and say, oh, this is really an intriguing 392 00:20:50,600 --> 00:20:53,080 Speaker 1: and incredible perspective because, as we've said. 393 00:20:52,880 --> 00:20:55,080 Speaker 2: Before, only the royal family but not others. 394 00:20:55,400 --> 00:20:58,879 Speaker 1: Yeah, oh, Queen Elizabeth don't even know the dastardly The 395 00:20:58,960 --> 00:21:01,840 Speaker 1: dastardly turn that you took to go after Queen Elizabeth 396 00:21:01,880 --> 00:21:06,000 Speaker 1: is still still echoing throughout the universe here and disrepute. 397 00:21:06,080 --> 00:21:09,200 Speaker 1: But I will say this, when you see Al Sharpton 398 00:21:09,280 --> 00:21:11,560 Speaker 1: talking about in an invasion, and I'm going to use 399 00:21:11,560 --> 00:21:13,080 Speaker 1: a rapper here that a lot of you may not 400 00:21:13,200 --> 00:21:16,520 Speaker 1: be familiar with, depending on your age.

And I think for many people out 411 00:21:50,800 --> 00:21:53,879 Speaker 1: there black voters, this is what. 412 00:21:53,760 --> 00:21:56,240 Speaker 4: They're They're looking around and they're saying this doesn't add up. 413 00:21:57,520 --> 00:22:01,400 Speaker 1: What is the Democrat Party doing for me, they promise 414 00:22:01,600 --> 00:22:05,080 Speaker 1: all these bells and whistles, They say that Republicans will 415 00:22:05,080 --> 00:22:07,800 Speaker 1: put us back in chains, even though Republicans are the 416 00:22:07,800 --> 00:22:12,040 Speaker 1: ones who took you out of chains historically, What has 417 00:22:12,160 --> 00:22:16,199 Speaker 1: Joe Biden done to actually make the average like forty four? 418 00:22:16,240 --> 00:22:18,760 Speaker 1: I feel old school in the sense that for most 419 00:22:18,800 --> 00:22:22,160 Speaker 1: of us out there who are around your in mind's age, 420 00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:25,000 Speaker 1: we grew up in the eighties and the nineties. We 421 00:22:25,080 --> 00:22:28,439 Speaker 1: didn't go through the Civil rights movement. We didn't go 422 00:22:28,560 --> 00:22:34,080 Speaker 1: through all the battles about integration. Schoolhouse doors nobody was 423 00:22:34,119 --> 00:22:37,440 Speaker 1: standing in front of in the eighties and the nineties 424 00:22:37,440 --> 00:22:40,760 Speaker 1: and the early two thousands, all of us were taught. 425 00:22:40,880 --> 00:22:43,800 Speaker 1: And I still believe this to be true, that despite 426 00:22:43,800 --> 00:22:48,000 Speaker 1: whatever racial differences we might have, we all have way 427 00:22:48,080 --> 00:22:51,919 Speaker 1: more in common than we do different. And that is 428 00:22:52,240 --> 00:22:57,240 Speaker 1: actually not what democrats believe anymore. They believe that based on. 429 00:22:57,320 --> 00:23:00,840 Speaker 2: The color of your skin, or the desire of your 430 00:23:00,880 --> 00:23:06,640 Speaker 2: sexuality or even your gender, that you can't have common 431 00:23:07,240 --> 00:23:11,160 Speaker 2: ideals with others based on those differences. 432 00:23:11,560 --> 00:23:12,520 Speaker 4: And I just reject that. 433 00:23:12,960 --> 00:23:15,080 Speaker 1: And I think a lot of black people in their 434 00:23:15,080 --> 00:23:17,200 Speaker 1: thirties and their forties who grew up in the eighties 435 00:23:17,240 --> 00:23:20,720 Speaker 1: and nineties are looking around now at this migrant invasion, 436 00:23:20,920 --> 00:23:24,800 Speaker 1: as Al Sharpton called it, and they're saying, how is 437 00:23:24,880 --> 00:23:29,360 Speaker 1: this making America better for me or my community or 438 00:23:29,400 --> 00:23:30,080 Speaker 1: my city? 439 00:23:30,320 --> 00:23:31,600 Speaker 4: And there aren't good answers here. 440 00:23:31,600 --> 00:23:33,200 Speaker 1: And I think we have a clip this is from 441 00:23:33,240 --> 00:23:39,960 Speaker 1: October right of the new mayor of Chicago, Brandon Johnson, 442 00:23:40,320 --> 00:23:44,240 Speaker 1: going off on people who were asking about this migrant 443 00:23:44,640 --> 00:23:47,320 Speaker 1: issue in this invasion in Chicago. 444 00:23:47,359 --> 00:23:48,280 Speaker 4: Can we play that clip? 445 00:23:48,320 --> 00:23:51,919 Speaker 1: This is again from October, but this is emblematic I 446 00:23:51,960 --> 00:23:55,120 Speaker 1: think of the pressures that suddenly Democrat office holders are 447 00:23:55,119 --> 00:23:56,040 Speaker 1: feeling in cities. 448 00:23:56,240 --> 00:23:58,879 Speaker 8: I have children who attend schools, we have soccer games. 449 00:23:58,920 --> 00:24:01,879 Speaker 8: Yuh So you're all asking me as if I'm not 450 00:24:01,920 --> 00:24:03,159 Speaker 8: a parent in this city. 451 00:24:03,640 --> 00:24:04,040 Speaker 4: I get it. 452 00:24:04,080 --> 00:24:06,840 Speaker 8: A mayor, I get it.

I still have a 459 00:24:21,200 --> 00:24:23,160 Speaker 8: budget that I have to address, and I'm doing all 460 00:24:23,160 --> 00:24:25,840 Speaker 8: of that with a black wife raising three black children 461 00:24:25,840 --> 00:24:27,640 Speaker 8: on the west side of Sea of Chicago, I am 462 00:24:27,680 --> 00:24:29,520 Speaker 8: going to the border as soon as possible. 463 00:24:31,160 --> 00:24:34,959 Speaker 2: This is funny to me, Buck, because most people have 464 00:24:35,119 --> 00:24:39,680 Speaker 2: kids and wives or husbands and kids, and they still 465 00:24:39,680 --> 00:24:40,880 Speaker 2: have serious jobs too. 466 00:24:41,320 --> 00:24:42,400 Speaker 4: So when you get. 467 00:24:42,160 --> 00:24:45,280 Speaker 1: Criticized for what's going on with migrants in your city 468 00:24:45,520 --> 00:24:48,439 Speaker 1: and your response is I've got soccer games to go to, I'm. 469 00:24:48,280 --> 00:24:51,040 Speaker 4: A dad, I don't think that plays very well. 470 00:24:51,600 --> 00:24:54,119 Speaker 1: You know, it's one thing to be normal and have 471 00:24:54,200 --> 00:24:57,240 Speaker 1: a normal life, which many parents and grandparents out there 472 00:24:57,240 --> 00:24:59,480 Speaker 1: listening to us do, but that doesn't mean you don't 473 00:24:59,480 --> 00:25:02,359 Speaker 1: have an oblation and a responsibility to get your job done, 474 00:25:02,520 --> 00:25:04,720 Speaker 1: especially when you're being highly paid for it and you 475 00:25:04,880 --> 00:25:09,240 Speaker 1: ran for the obligation. Don't beg for the responsibility of 476 00:25:09,280 --> 00:25:10,480 Speaker 1: being the leader of a city. 477 00:25:10,840 --> 00:25:11,240 Speaker 4: Get it. 478 00:25:11,920 --> 00:25:14,040 Speaker 1: And then as soon as the criticism starts to rain 479 00:25:14,119 --> 00:25:16,359 Speaker 1: down on you say, hey, I got kids soccer games 480 00:25:16,400 --> 00:25:18,879 Speaker 1: to get to. But I think this is what the 481 00:25:18,920 --> 00:25:22,480 Speaker 1: pressure is doing to democrat politicians in their marketplaces. 482 00:25:22,520 --> 00:25:24,080 Speaker 4: Buck. This is different, and I. 483 00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:27,199 Speaker 1: Give credit to Greg Abbott for helping to further this conversation, 484 00:25:27,720 --> 00:25:30,159 Speaker 1: but it is super super interesting. 485 00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:35,280 Speaker 2: That this could be could be happening. Yes, I agree, 486 00:25:35,440 --> 00:25:38,560 Speaker 2: very important, very interesting that it's happening. So we will 487 00:25:38,560 --> 00:25:42,600 Speaker 2: continue to follow this one as closely as we can. 488 00:25:42,880 --> 00:25:45,359 Speaker 1: And we got a jury verdict that will tell you 489 00:25:45,440 --> 00:25:48,399 Speaker 1: about when we come back coming out of Michigan in 490 00:25:48,800 --> 00:25:50,960 Speaker 1: that school shooting case that some of you may be 491 00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:55,479 Speaker 1: intrigued about because it's a relatively uncommon precedent as it 492 00:25:55,520 --> 00:25:57,520 Speaker 1: pertains to what's occurring there. But I want to tell 493 00:25:57,520 --> 00:26:02,120 Speaker 1: you right now, you've seen QR codes and restaurants are 494 00:26:02,119 --> 00:26:05,480 Speaker 1: on products. It's computer generated, little black and white square. 495 00:26:05,800 --> 00:26:08,280 Speaker 1: You zoom in on it with your phone, get the menu. 496 00:26:08,359 --> 00:26:10,960 Speaker 1: I hate this, By the way, Can we bring back 497 00:26:11,080 --> 00:26:14,119 Speaker 1: menus everywhere? I don't know anybody who's like, you know what, 498 00:26:14,160 --> 00:26:16,159 Speaker 1: I love a QR code, but that's just me. 499 00:26:16,680 --> 00:26:18,000 Speaker 4: I want actual paper. 500 00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:19,879 Speaker 1: Remember they were like, oh, we can't have menus anymore 501 00:26:19,920 --> 00:26:23,199 Speaker 1: because that'll spread COVID. Can we just have menus everywhere anyway? 502 00:26:23,240 --> 00:26:26,040 Speaker 1: I hate QR codes, but especially when they're using it. 503 00:26:26,200 --> 00:26:29,680 Speaker 1: Guess what's also happening now.

Okay, Donald, we've talked. 541 00:28:18,040 --> 00:28:20,160 Speaker 1: I think we might have mentioned on the show earlier, 542 00:28:20,320 --> 00:28:24,440 Speaker 1: maybe yesterday, that Tucker Carlson was in Russia. If we didn't, 543 00:28:25,119 --> 00:28:27,800 Speaker 1: we certainly have talked about it off a or sometimes 544 00:28:27,800 --> 00:28:31,000 Speaker 1: the conversations are very similar. But Tucker just released a 545 00:28:31,080 --> 00:28:34,280 Speaker 1: video saying yes he's in Russia and he's there to 546 00:28:34,359 --> 00:28:38,200 Speaker 1: interview Vladimir Putin. I think that's an interesting decision. I 547 00:28:38,280 --> 00:28:40,520 Speaker 1: agree that if you can interview some somebody at the 548 00:28:40,520 --> 00:28:44,080 Speaker 1: center of a geopolitical universe, you should Here's Tucker talking 549 00:28:44,080 --> 00:28:45,640 Speaker 1: about his decision to interview Putin. 550 00:28:45,800 --> 00:28:49,040 Speaker 9: Most Americans have no idea why Putin invaded Ukraine or 551 00:28:49,080 --> 00:28:51,240 Speaker 9: what his goals are. Now you've never heard his voice. 552 00:28:51,960 --> 00:28:55,600 Speaker 9: That's wrong. Americans have a right to know all they 553 00:28:55,680 --> 00:28:58,120 Speaker 9: can about a war they're implicated in, and we have 554 00:28:58,120 --> 00:29:00,320 Speaker 9: the right to tell them about it because we are 555 00:29:00,360 --> 00:29:04,240 Speaker 9: Americans too. Freedom of speech is our birthright. We were 556 00:29:04,280 --> 00:29:07,000 Speaker 9: born with the right to say what we believe. That 557 00:29:07,080 --> 00:29:09,600 Speaker 9: right cannot be taken away no matter who is in 558 00:29:09,640 --> 00:29:13,760 Speaker 9: the White House. But they're trying anyway. Almost three years ago, 559 00:29:13,800 --> 00:29:17,440 Speaker 9: the Biden administration illegally spied on our text messages and 560 00:29:17,480 --> 00:29:19,920 Speaker 9: then leaked the contents to their servants in the news media. 561 00:29:20,360 --> 00:29:22,200 Speaker 9: They did this in order to stop a Putin interview 562 00:29:22,240 --> 00:29:25,600 Speaker 9: that we were planning last month, where pretty certainly did 563 00:29:25,640 --> 00:29:28,760 Speaker 9: exactly the same thing once again, but this time we 564 00:29:28,800 --> 00:29:32,520 Speaker 9: came to Moscow. Anyway, we are not encouraging you to 565 00:29:32,600 --> 00:29:35,360 Speaker 9: agree with what Putin may say in this interview, but 566 00:29:35,440 --> 00:29:37,960 Speaker 9: we are urging you to watch it. You should know 567 00:29:38,320 --> 00:29:40,960 Speaker 9: as much as you can, and then, like a free 568 00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:44,360 Speaker 9: citizen and not a slave, you can decide for yourself. 569 00:29:46,200 --> 00:29:48,040 Speaker 1: I agree with everything he said there, Buck, I mean, 570 00:29:48,040 --> 00:29:49,440 Speaker 1: I don't know what Putin's going to say. 571 00:29:49,480 --> 00:29:51,160 Speaker 4: Obviously some people are going to rip him. 572 00:29:51,440 --> 00:29:56,560 Speaker 1: But I think if CBSNBC, Fox News, CNN, any of 573 00:29:56,600 --> 00:29:58,920 Speaker 1: these outlets had the opportunity to sit down one on 574 00:29:58,920 --> 00:30:01,080 Speaker 1: one with Vladimir Putin, you would have to take it. 575 00:30:01,440 --> 00:30:03,280 Speaker 1: I'm not sure what you lose by this. To me, 576 00:30:03,360 --> 00:30:05,120 Speaker 1: it's a big get from a journalist. 577 00:30:06,760 --> 00:30:10,560 Speaker 2: We got to see how it goes. I respect I 578 00:30:10,640 --> 00:30:14,320 Speaker 2: like Tucker. You like Tucker, and I respect his his 579 00:30:14,400 --> 00:30:18,080 Speaker 2: HUTSPA a lot and what he's done over the years. 580 00:30:19,400 --> 00:30:22,920 Speaker 2: Does this turn into just Vladimir Putin with the same 581 00:30:22,960 --> 00:30:25,880 Speaker 2: talking points about the threat for NATO et cetera, et cetera. 582 00:30:26,600 --> 00:30:28,719 Speaker 2: Or is there something that we glean from this that 583 00:30:28,800 --> 00:30:33,320 Speaker 2: is that is new, that is novel. You know there 584 00:30:33,320 --> 00:30:35,200 Speaker 2: are limits, right, I mean, after nine to eleven, if 585 00:30:35,200 --> 00:30:37,680 Speaker 2: you said, I'm not saying Putin is Oslamam and Lauden, 586 00:30:37,720 --> 00:30:40,120 Speaker 2: but it would be quite an interview to sit down 587 00:30:40,160 --> 00:30:42,320 Speaker 2: with oslamon Lauden. After nine to eleven and ask them, hey, 588 00:30:42,360 --> 00:30:44,400 Speaker 2: so why'd you do that? But I think people have 589 00:30:44,440 --> 00:30:46,720 Speaker 2: a problem with that, right, So it's not just you 590 00:30:46,800 --> 00:30:51,000 Speaker 2: talk to anybody because it's interesting, although maybe some people disagree. 591 00:30:51,000 --> 00:30:53,080 Speaker 2: Maybe they'll say, oh my god, I have any American 592 00:30:53,440 --> 00:30:56,080 Speaker 2: I mean it been lauden. I mean, I think, honestly, 593 00:30:56,120 --> 00:30:58,320 Speaker 2: if your job is to be a journalist and there 594 00:30:58,400 --> 00:31:01,840 Speaker 2: is a news maker when you interview someone, this is 595 00:31:01,920 --> 00:31:03,880 Speaker 2: my perspective, is not I'm not a journalist. Do you 596 00:31:03,880 --> 00:31:05,000 Speaker 2: think of yourself as a journalist? 597 00:31:05,000 --> 00:31:05,160 Speaker 6: Though? 598 00:31:05,160 --> 00:31:06,560 Speaker 2: This is where I mean it's a little You know, 599 00:31:07,240 --> 00:31:09,120 Speaker 2: I have opinions and views, right, I don't. I don't 600 00:31:09,120 --> 00:31:10,200 Speaker 2: pretend to be neutral ever. 601 00:31:11,080 --> 00:31:14,000 Speaker 1: Yeah right, but I I yes, on this show, you 602 00:31:14,040 --> 00:31:16,320 Speaker 1: and I are saying exactly what we think. But if, 603 00:31:16,320 --> 00:31:18,320 Speaker 1: for instance, I'm just tossing it out because you mentioned 604 00:31:18,400 --> 00:31:21,680 Speaker 1: Bin Laden, he's dead. If somebody from North Korea reached 605 00:31:21,720 --> 00:31:25,280 Speaker 1: out to me and they said, Kim Jong un wants 606 00:31:25,320 --> 00:31:29,200 Speaker 1: to do a sit down interview because he saw your 607 00:31:29,240 --> 00:31:33,560 Speaker 1: opinion on the Chicago Bulls and he likes he likes. Uh, 608 00:31:34,040 --> 00:31:36,200 Speaker 1: He's chosen you of all journalists that he would want 609 00:31:36,200 --> 00:31:38,360 Speaker 1: to sit down with. I think I could say I 610 00:31:38,360 --> 00:31:40,880 Speaker 1: would go and I would sit down across from Kim 611 00:31:40,920 --> 00:31:41,320 Speaker 1: Jong Uh. 612 00:31:41,400 --> 00:31:42,160 Speaker 4: I mean, I'd be. 613 00:31:42,080 --> 00:31:44,040 Speaker 1: So worried about it all the time everybody. I would, 614 00:31:46,800 --> 00:31:49,440 Speaker 1: But I mean I wouldn't give my opinion. So I think, 615 00:31:49,920 --> 00:31:52,440 Speaker 1: you know, I would say, Megan Kelly has a super 616 00:31:52,480 --> 00:31:54,920 Speaker 1: opinionated show, right, but I think she would argue, hey, 617 00:31:54,920 --> 00:31:56,800 Speaker 1: I can sit down and also. 618 00:31:56,600 --> 00:31:59,680 Speaker 2: You can give an interview. Yeah, I think what would 619 00:31:59,680 --> 00:32:03,600 Speaker 2: fall under journalistic approach. But I just you know that 620 00:32:03,720 --> 00:32:05,880 Speaker 2: the title journal I mean, I think journalists as a 621 00:32:05,880 --> 00:32:09,280 Speaker 2: title is almost always a fraud regardless. But that's not 622 00:32:09,480 --> 00:32:11,880 Speaker 2: that's not I know, that's kind of secondary to the 623 00:32:12,000 --> 00:32:13,360 Speaker 2: fit to the main point, which is to go and 624 00:32:13,360 --> 00:32:17,440 Speaker 2: sit down and talk to Putin. You know, I think 625 00:32:18,800 --> 00:32:20,600 Speaker 2: I gotta see what I see how it goes. 626 00:32:20,680 --> 00:32:22,920 Speaker 1: I would say, I would say, yes, I think if 627 00:32:22,960 --> 00:32:26,320 Speaker 1: if I were in that position and the guy who's 628 00:32:26,360 --> 00:32:28,800 Speaker 1: currently in war, and I would say, look, if somebody 629 00:32:28,800 --> 00:32:31,240 Speaker 1: could have talked to Hitler during World War two and 630 00:32:31,360 --> 00:32:34,360 Speaker 1: actually heard whatever Hitler was going to say, again, you're 631 00:32:34,400 --> 00:32:39,880 Speaker 1: not endorsing to me. Leaders Giving speech and answering questions 632 00:32:39,920 --> 00:32:42,840 Speaker 1: in general is something that should be encouraged, even if 633 00:32:42,880 --> 00:32:43,640 Speaker 1: sometimes they're well. 634 00:32:43,720 --> 00:32:46,280 Speaker 2: See the problem though, Clay with with interviewing Putin is 635 00:32:46,360 --> 00:32:50,719 Speaker 2: you're interviewing him in Russia. You're not going to you know, 636 00:32:51,120 --> 00:32:55,479 Speaker 2: the the home her home turf advantage here isn't Oh, 637 00:32:55,520 --> 00:32:56,720 Speaker 2: I'm gonna get It's not like when I go on 638 00:32:56,720 --> 00:32:59,600 Speaker 2: the Bill Maher Show and the imbeciles in the audience boomy. 639 00:33:00,280 --> 00:33:02,800 Speaker 2: It's they might just say you're not going back. Yeah, 640 00:33:02,840 --> 00:33:04,600 Speaker 2: and I get it. They might decide that they're going 641 00:33:04,640 --> 00:33:06,080 Speaker 2: to hold you. That's not being look but they just did. 642 00:33:06,120 --> 00:33:07,840 Speaker 2: They have the whole thing with Britney Griner. I mean 643 00:33:07,840 --> 00:33:10,040 Speaker 2: they've they've still got they got that Wall Street Journal 644 00:33:10,200 --> 00:33:13,160 Speaker 2: journalist right now, you know much more in the moment 645 00:33:13,200 --> 00:33:16,440 Speaker 2: here Evan Gorskovic. They're holding him. He's a Wall Street 646 00:33:16,480 --> 00:33:18,920 Speaker 2: Journal report everybody. They're holding him. They're keeping him in 647 00:33:18,960 --> 00:33:19,680 Speaker 2: a prison cell there. 648 00:33:19,680 --> 00:33:20,120 Speaker 4: He did nothing. 649 00:33:20,120 --> 00:33:22,680 Speaker 2: And I hope and I hope Tucker would say, hey, 650 00:33:22,880 --> 00:33:25,160 Speaker 2: I think based on all the evidence I've seen, that 651 00:33:25,200 --> 00:33:26,200 Speaker 2: guy should be released. 652 00:33:26,240 --> 00:33:27,080 Speaker 4: Really I don't know. 653 00:33:27,480 --> 00:33:30,640 Speaker 2: Well, but what I'm saying is, are you really able 654 00:33:30,800 --> 00:33:34,120 Speaker 2: to do an interview and speak truth to power when 655 00:33:34,160 --> 00:33:36,400 Speaker 2: the person sitting down with you as soon as those 656 00:33:36,440 --> 00:33:37,960 Speaker 2: lights go off. Could be like, yeah, no, we're just 657 00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:39,720 Speaker 2: going to hold him for six months. Yeah, And so 658 00:33:39,880 --> 00:33:42,680 Speaker 2: that's the risk of griping, right, that's the risk of guys. 659 00:33:43,280 --> 00:33:46,440 Speaker 2: So there's more dynamics here. This isn't like, Oh, Putin's 660 00:33:46,480 --> 00:33:48,160 Speaker 2: at the un and you get to sit down and 661 00:33:48,240 --> 00:33:50,000 Speaker 2: have a chat with them where you can actually really 662 00:33:50,080 --> 00:33:52,280 Speaker 2: push him. I mean, I I think I know what 663 00:33:52,320 --> 00:33:54,200 Speaker 2: he's going to say before he's First of all, it's 664 00:33:54,200 --> 00:33:56,480 Speaker 2: all through a translator, which means there's a lot that's 665 00:33:57,000 --> 00:34:01,120 Speaker 2: lost in translation. Obviously, I'm not judging it either way. 666 00:34:01,160 --> 00:34:03,040 Speaker 2: I'm just saying this is tricky, you know, because I 667 00:34:03,120 --> 00:34:05,200 Speaker 2: remember a long time ago, at the height of the 668 00:34:05,200 --> 00:34:08,600 Speaker 2: Syrian Civil War. It's a long story, but someone came 669 00:34:08,640 --> 00:34:10,480 Speaker 2: to me in back channel and was saying, hey, I 670 00:34:10,480 --> 00:34:12,160 Speaker 2: think I could arrange for you and maybe a couple 671 00:34:12,200 --> 00:34:16,479 Speaker 2: of other people to sit down with Asad. Oh wow, 672 00:34:17,000 --> 00:34:19,600 Speaker 2: and and I it ended up not happening, and it 673 00:34:19,640 --> 00:34:21,839 Speaker 2: was very early stage, and I didn't even agree to it. 674 00:34:21,920 --> 00:34:23,600 Speaker 2: This is just an offer that was made. Someone said Hey, 675 00:34:23,600 --> 00:34:25,359 Speaker 2: I think I could do that. I said, ah, let 676 00:34:25,360 --> 00:34:26,719 Speaker 2: me think about that, and then you know, it sort 677 00:34:26,719 --> 00:34:30,600 Speaker 2: of fell apart. But I mean, remember what happened with 678 00:34:30,640 --> 00:34:33,680 Speaker 2: Telsey Gabbard when she did that afterwards. Now, some people 679 00:34:33,719 --> 00:34:35,759 Speaker 2: thought that that was an act of bravery for her 680 00:34:35,800 --> 00:34:38,359 Speaker 2: to talk to the Assad regime, go to Syria, all 681 00:34:38,400 --> 00:34:42,319 Speaker 2: of that. But there's a fine line between, you know, 682 00:34:42,719 --> 00:34:45,719 Speaker 2: there's a fine line in some instances between speaking truth 683 00:34:45,760 --> 00:34:49,240 Speaker 2: to power getting the answers people need. And I'm hopeful 684 00:34:49,239 --> 00:34:52,760 Speaker 2: that Tucker is going to do exactly that and getting 685 00:34:52,760 --> 00:34:55,160 Speaker 2: a little closer to like a Jane Fonda experience where 686 00:34:55,160 --> 00:34:58,520 Speaker 2: you're hanging out with the enemy and letting them use 687 00:34:58,600 --> 00:35:01,240 Speaker 2: you as a mountain. Now, that won't happen with Tucker. 688 00:35:01,280 --> 00:35:04,080 Speaker 2: But I'm just saying these are the addition when you 689 00:35:04,120 --> 00:35:08,040 Speaker 2: show up in a tyrants layer. There are additional considerations 690 00:35:08,040 --> 00:35:10,600 Speaker 2: that don't apply if you're just talking to somebody here. 691 00:35:10,520 --> 00:35:11,080 Speaker 4: In the States. 692 00:35:11,480 --> 00:35:14,200 Speaker 2: One challenge, by the way, too, which you just raised 693 00:35:14,200 --> 00:35:17,200 Speaker 2: about being in Russia. I don't know how many countries 694 00:35:17,280 --> 00:35:20,040 Speaker 2: Vladimir Putin can even travel to right now, given that 695 00:35:20,080 --> 00:35:23,880 Speaker 2: there are war crimes accusations against him, where there wouldn't 696 00:35:23,920 --> 00:35:28,400 Speaker 2: be the threat that he might be arrested or detained 697 00:35:28,440 --> 00:35:31,359 Speaker 2: in some way. Absolutely, I mean, I'm not even sure 698 00:35:31,400 --> 00:35:33,399 Speaker 2: I mean, that would be interesting to know. Did Tucker say, hey, 699 00:35:33,400 --> 00:35:37,040 Speaker 2: can we meet in a neutral location outside of Russia? 700 00:35:37,080 --> 00:35:39,440 Speaker 2: I don't know how many countries I think Putin has 701 00:35:39,480 --> 00:35:41,759 Speaker 2: traveled to China. I don't think you'd feel much more 702 00:35:42,440 --> 00:35:46,000 Speaker 2: favorable in China than you would in Russia. 703 00:35:46,160 --> 00:35:46,279 Speaker 6: There. 704 00:35:46,360 --> 00:35:49,040 Speaker 1: I just I don't think there's very many democracies that 705 00:35:49,080 --> 00:35:50,480 Speaker 1: would allow of Vladimir Putin on. 706 00:35:50,560 --> 00:35:52,279 Speaker 2: I mean, if I got you, if I got you 707 00:35:52,320 --> 00:35:55,200 Speaker 2: to sit down in China with Shi Jinping, would you 708 00:35:55,280 --> 00:35:57,840 Speaker 2: be like, hey, man, the million people you have in 709 00:35:57,920 --> 00:36:00,840 Speaker 2: concentration camps, that's a crime again humanity. You need to 710 00:36:00,840 --> 00:36:03,560 Speaker 2: stop that. You need to step down from power. I mean, Clay, 711 00:36:03,560 --> 00:36:06,000 Speaker 2: I don't know if you'd make it back if you did, honestly. 712 00:36:06,800 --> 00:36:08,719 Speaker 2: So this, this is the reality I get that we 713 00:36:08,760 --> 00:36:09,440 Speaker 2: live in, right. 714 00:36:09,320 --> 00:36:10,960 Speaker 1: I mean, I get it. I mean that is that 715 00:36:11,080 --> 00:36:12,960 Speaker 1: is the challenge. So we'll see what happens. But I 716 00:36:12,960 --> 00:36:14,799 Speaker 1: do think it's worth mentioning that that's going to go 717 00:36:14,800 --> 00:36:16,040 Speaker 1: as fascinating, right look at it. 718 00:36:16,080 --> 00:36:17,880 Speaker 2: Look at us sitting here talking about all the different 719 00:36:17,920 --> 00:36:21,480 Speaker 2: possibilities but also the implications. And you know, Tucker is 720 00:36:22,040 --> 00:36:24,560 Speaker 2: one of my favorite people to watch and listen to 721 00:36:24,719 --> 00:36:28,000 Speaker 2: in the space generally. So I mean, I'm I'm I'm 722 00:36:28,000 --> 00:36:30,279 Speaker 2: definitely gonna listen to this interview. I'm just saying, there's 723 00:36:30,320 --> 00:36:32,400 Speaker 2: a it's there's it's a field of land mines, there 724 00:36:32,400 --> 00:36:35,120 Speaker 2: are land and by the way, we didn't even mention, yes, 725 00:36:35,239 --> 00:36:37,120 Speaker 2: obviously you're in Russia. 726 00:36:37,239 --> 00:36:39,640 Speaker 4: But also how long does the interview go? 727 00:36:40,080 --> 00:36:42,799 Speaker 1: Do you get to keep your tapes right? Like who 728 00:36:42,840 --> 00:36:45,959 Speaker 1: is recording it? But there are many and to your point, 729 00:36:45,960 --> 00:36:49,680 Speaker 1: it's translated. So the difficulty there is you have to 730 00:36:49,680 --> 00:36:52,680 Speaker 1: rely that the translator is telling you the truth, which 731 00:36:52,760 --> 00:36:55,440 Speaker 1: is its own dynamic. Does Tucker have his own translator 732 00:36:55,480 --> 00:36:58,120 Speaker 1: translating the translator it is? 733 00:36:58,200 --> 00:37:00,760 Speaker 2: It is going to be amazing, I think to follow 734 00:37:00,920 --> 00:37:02,799 Speaker 2: when we come back. By the way, we should play 735 00:37:02,840 --> 00:37:05,920 Speaker 2: this audio too. Biden did what we told you he 736 00:37:06,000 --> 00:37:08,960 Speaker 2: was going to do. He says, if this border bill 737 00:37:09,040 --> 00:37:12,040 Speaker 2: doesn't get passed, then the lack of security at the 738 00:37:12,080 --> 00:37:16,200 Speaker 2: border is Donald Trump's fault. And all the MAGA Republicans 739 00:37:16,400 --> 00:37:18,520 Speaker 2: will play that audio for you. We told you it 740 00:37:18,560 --> 00:37:20,279 Speaker 2: was coming, but I think it's important for you all 741 00:37:20,320 --> 00:37:22,320 Speaker 2: to hear it. That just happened in the last couple 742 00:37:22,320 --> 00:37:24,960 Speaker 2: of hours. As well, you know, one thing we like 743 00:37:25,040 --> 00:37:27,440 Speaker 2: to do here is not only identify the problems, but 744 00:37:27,520 --> 00:37:32,120 Speaker 2: also try to identify solutions or ways to make things better. 745 00:37:32,680 --> 00:37:35,799 Speaker 2: Saving the lives of unborn children is a top priority 746 00:37:35,880 --> 00:37:39,160 Speaker 2: for anybody who considers themselves pro life. Right and right now, 747 00:37:39,200 --> 00:37:42,160 Speaker 2: there are still so many abortions going on across the country, 748 00:37:42,400 --> 00:37:45,040 Speaker 2: but there's something you can do about it, thanks to 749 00:37:45,080 --> 00:37:47,200 Speaker 2: the Preborn Network of clinics, something that takes you to 750 00:37:47,239 --> 00:37:51,600 Speaker 2: the front lines and saves lives. Preborn welcomes pregnant mothers 751 00:37:51,600 --> 00:37:55,360 Speaker 2: with care and support and resources including maternity clothing, diapers, 752 00:37:55,360 --> 00:37:59,480 Speaker 2: and much more. Besides their unconditional love, their most valuable 753 00:37:59,480 --> 00:38:02,879 Speaker 2: gift to that mother in the first meeting is an ultrasound. 754 00:38:03,239 --> 00:38:07,200 Speaker 2: That experience of the ultrasound so often creates that additional 755 00:38:07,239 --> 00:38:09,920 Speaker 2: moment of bonding between mother and child because when she 756 00:38:09,920 --> 00:38:13,200 Speaker 2: hears that heartbeat, witnesses those those first movements going on 757 00:38:13,280 --> 00:38:16,440 Speaker 2: within her, the tiny hands, the tiny feet. That experience 758 00:38:16,480 --> 00:38:19,840 Speaker 2: alone can save the live of an unborn child, and 759 00:38:19,880 --> 00:38:22,239 Speaker 2: it only happens because of your support. So please, if 760 00:38:22,280 --> 00:38:25,360 Speaker 2: you can donate. Twenty eight dollars is the cost of 761 00:38:25,400 --> 00:38:27,960 Speaker 2: a single ultrasound, five of those ultrasounds.

He is a veteran, a Wall 787 00:39:45,360 --> 00:39:50,280 Speaker 2: Street guru, and he is running for United States Senate 788 00:39:50,320 --> 00:39:53,759 Speaker 2: in Pennsylvania. Dave, good to have you back on the program. 789 00:39:54,040 --> 00:39:55,960 Speaker 6: Hey Jack, how are you good? 790 00:39:56,360 --> 00:39:59,440 Speaker 2: Let's start with this if we can, Dave, are you 791 00:39:59,480 --> 00:40:01,239 Speaker 2: going to win Pennsylvania? 792 00:40:01,280 --> 00:40:01,520 Speaker 6: Why? 793 00:40:01,680 --> 00:40:04,279 Speaker 2: I'm sure you're going to say yes, But why? And 794 00:40:04,840 --> 00:40:07,439 Speaker 2: what can be done there to make sure that it's 795 00:40:07,440 --> 00:40:11,080 Speaker 2: not just you but other Republicans who come away with 796 00:40:11,320 --> 00:40:14,560 Speaker 2: w's this time, given what the Shenanigans we saw in 797 00:40:14,600 --> 00:40:16,320 Speaker 2: Pennsylvania back in twenty twenty. 798 00:40:17,400 --> 00:40:20,160 Speaker 6: Yeah, well, it's gonna be a great election in twenty 799 00:40:20,200 --> 00:40:25,319 Speaker 6: twenty four, primarily because eighty percent of Pennsylvanians think the 800 00:40:25,360 --> 00:40:27,640 Speaker 6: country's going in their wrong direction. They look at this 801 00:40:28,239 --> 00:40:31,399 Speaker 6: order crisis, they look at record high inflation, they look 802 00:40:31,440 --> 00:40:34,960 Speaker 6: at crime five thousand cent in all deaths, and they 803 00:40:35,000 --> 00:40:37,440 Speaker 6: are terribly worried about the future of the country and 804 00:40:37,480 --> 00:40:41,319 Speaker 6: the future of Pennsylvania. And my opponent, Bob Casey's been 805 00:40:41,360 --> 00:40:44,920 Speaker 6: there seventeen years and frankly hasn't done much of anything 806 00:40:45,400 --> 00:40:47,640 Speaker 6: and has voted ninety eight percent of the time with 807 00:40:47,719 --> 00:40:51,200 Speaker 6: Joe Biden. So it's a change election. People see this 808 00:40:51,320 --> 00:40:53,680 Speaker 6: as an opportunity to put new leadership in place. And 809 00:40:54,320 --> 00:40:56,160 Speaker 6: I'm someone who's been a leader in the military and 810 00:40:56,160 --> 00:40:58,600 Speaker 6: in business, and I'm going to go there to shake 811 00:40:58,680 --> 00:41:01,480 Speaker 6: up Washington. And that is the trast And I think 812 00:41:01,520 --> 00:41:03,640 Speaker 6: that same thing holds true for other candidates, whether it's 813 00:41:03,680 --> 00:41:07,120 Speaker 6: the top of the ticket or other candidates down the path. 814 00:41:07,520 --> 00:41:11,319 Speaker 6: Everybody views our current country as in decline and we 815 00:41:11,360 --> 00:41:12,480 Speaker 6: need leadership to fix it. 816 00:41:13,320 --> 00:41:15,080 Speaker 1: Dave, great to see you last night. I know you're 817 00:41:15,080 --> 00:41:17,760 Speaker 1: going all over the country and all over Pennsylvania raising 818 00:41:17,800 --> 00:41:19,759 Speaker 1: money to be able to win what I think is 819 00:41:19,920 --> 00:41:22,400 Speaker 1: one of the two or three most important Senate races 820 00:41:22,440 --> 00:41:25,000 Speaker 1: in the entire country coming up in twenty twenty four. 821 00:41:25,520 --> 00:41:27,759 Speaker 1: It looks like Trump is going to be the Republican 822 00:41:27,800 --> 00:41:30,840 Speaker 1: nominee and you will be the nominee for the Senate 823 00:41:30,880 --> 00:41:33,920 Speaker 1: in Pennsylvania. How do you think you helped Trump? How 824 00:41:33,920 --> 00:41:36,680 Speaker 1: do you think Trump helps you? What does a coalition 825 00:41:36,920 --> 00:41:40,480 Speaker 1: of winners look like in Pennsylvania? Because if Trump wins Pennsylvania, 826 00:41:40,480 --> 00:41:43,319 Speaker 1: He's going to be the president. And if you win Pennsylvania, 827 00:41:43,480 --> 00:41:45,399 Speaker 1: Republicans are going to have control of the Senate too. 828 00:41:46,400 --> 00:41:49,759 Speaker 6: Yeah, the stakes are high, which is why I'm so 829 00:41:49,920 --> 00:41:53,080 Speaker 6: committed to winning and why I'm making this run. I 830 00:41:53,080 --> 00:41:56,239 Speaker 6: think President Trump and I see it across the Commonwealth. 831 00:41:56,640 --> 00:42:00,360 Speaker 6: I mean, people come out on the happy moment. Wise 832 00:42:00,480 --> 00:42:03,920 Speaker 6: is a huge part of the Republican Party that came 833 00:42:03,960 --> 00:42:08,680 Speaker 6: out very enthusiastically for him, and that happened in twenty sixteen, 834 00:42:09,080 --> 00:42:11,240 Speaker 6: it happened in twenty twenty, and that'll happen in twenty 835 00:42:11,239 --> 00:42:14,360 Speaker 6: twenty four and I think I hopefully will be the 836 00:42:14,400 --> 00:42:17,560 Speaker 6: beneficiary of that great turnout. But I also to bring 837 00:42:17,600 --> 00:42:20,920 Speaker 6: to the ticket someone who can really appeal across all 838 00:42:21,040 --> 00:42:24,160 Speaker 6: Pennsylvania and build a coalition of those independents that are 839 00:42:24,239 --> 00:42:26,920 Speaker 6: very unhappy with the direction of the country, Conservative Democrats, 840 00:42:27,320 --> 00:42:30,520 Speaker 6: of business people that see the regulations coming under President 841 00:42:30,560 --> 00:42:34,120 Speaker 6: Biden killing their businesses, and so I you know, my 842 00:42:34,200 --> 00:42:36,560 Speaker 6: guess is that President Trump's atop say, will help me, 843 00:42:36,600 --> 00:42:39,680 Speaker 6: and I hope, I'd be hopeful that my candidacy and 844 00:42:40,000 --> 00:42:41,920 Speaker 6: the strength I would bring will help him. 845 00:42:42,560 --> 00:42:46,120 Speaker 2: Dave, you know, you ran in the last cycle right 846 00:42:46,200 --> 00:42:49,279 Speaker 2: as a as a Republican and lost in the primary, 847 00:42:49,360 --> 00:42:52,320 Speaker 2: and then that seat ended up going to Doc I 848 00:42:52,360 --> 00:42:57,680 Speaker 2: mean to not doctor Fetterman, to John Fetterman, what would 849 00:42:57,719 --> 00:42:59,880 Speaker 2: you say are the lessons learned? I mean, you know, 850 00:42:59,880 --> 00:43:02,560 Speaker 2: you got to observe that contest, right, you got to 851 00:43:02,560 --> 00:43:06,319 Speaker 2: see Fetterman versus doctor Oz. I think for a lot 852 00:43:06,320 --> 00:43:10,759 Speaker 2: of people, that was one of the more crushing, you know, 853 00:43:10,840 --> 00:43:14,160 Speaker 2: morale destroying moments for the GOP and that cycle that 854 00:43:14,360 --> 00:43:16,400 Speaker 2: Fetterman was able to win. Put aside some of his 855 00:43:16,520 --> 00:43:20,520 Speaker 2: more same commentary recently, what lessons did you take from 856 00:43:20,560 --> 00:43:22,480 Speaker 2: that as somebody who's now going to be charging up 857 00:43:22,520 --> 00:43:25,720 Speaker 2: that hill in Pennsylvania and winning the other Senate See? 858 00:43:26,520 --> 00:43:28,560 Speaker 6: Yeah, well, listen, you know when you lose by nine 859 00:43:28,640 --> 00:43:31,520 Speaker 6: hundred votes of one point five million casts, I mean, 860 00:43:31,680 --> 00:43:33,879 Speaker 6: can you can There's lots of things you can learn, 861 00:43:33,920 --> 00:43:37,719 Speaker 6: And I certainly throughout my life, you know, when I've failed, 862 00:43:38,280 --> 00:43:41,160 Speaker 6: that's been the engine for growing, getting off the mat 863 00:43:41,239 --> 00:43:44,759 Speaker 6: and wrestling or football or the military or business. That's 864 00:43:44,880 --> 00:43:46,759 Speaker 6: that's the way you get better is you learn from 865 00:43:46,760 --> 00:43:48,600 Speaker 6: the losses. And so I've got lots of lessons. But 866 00:43:48,719 --> 00:43:52,480 Speaker 6: the most important thing, the most important thing is Pennsylvanians 867 00:43:52,840 --> 00:43:56,719 Speaker 6: want leadership and they want authenticity. And I'm running a 868 00:43:56,719 --> 00:44:00,000 Speaker 6: campaign that's based on both I'm doing this because I'm 869 00:43:59,840 --> 00:44:02,080 Speaker 6: I I love America. I feel like I've been blessed. 870 00:44:02,520 --> 00:44:04,879 Speaker 6: I want to serve our great country and make sure 871 00:44:04,920 --> 00:44:08,600 Speaker 6: it doesn't become something that we don't recognize. And I 872 00:44:08,680 --> 00:44:11,480 Speaker 6: think that resonates with Pennsylvanians. On a Pennsylvania kid, I 873 00:44:11,480 --> 00:44:13,279 Speaker 6: grew up a royal Pennsylvania, as we talked about, I 874 00:44:13,320 --> 00:44:16,120 Speaker 6: wrestled and played football. Wrestling got me to West Point, 875 00:44:16,120 --> 00:44:19,360 Speaker 6: and then I came back to Pennsylvania after serving in 876 00:44:19,160 --> 00:44:22,360 Speaker 6: the Gulf War in Iraq, and I helped build a 877 00:44:22,400 --> 00:44:25,680 Speaker 6: business and create hundreds of jobs. So they want leadership. 878 00:44:25,960 --> 00:44:28,520 Speaker 6: It's a moment where I think people are getting energized 879 00:44:28,560 --> 00:44:30,480 Speaker 6: to get out there and vote. And I think that's 880 00:44:30,480 --> 00:44:33,640 Speaker 6: a great opportunity for me because I think they see 881 00:44:34,200 --> 00:44:36,680 Speaker 6: my ability to lead and make change. And that's what 882 00:44:36,680 --> 00:44:37,640 Speaker 6: I'm bringing to the table. 883 00:44:38,520 --> 00:44:40,840 Speaker 4: You lost to Oz by about one hundred votes. I 884 00:44:40,840 --> 00:44:41,360 Speaker 4: don't remember. 885 00:44:41,400 --> 00:44:43,400 Speaker 2: I think you may have just told us, but is 886 00:44:43,400 --> 00:44:46,160 Speaker 2: a tying number, and I'm sure that was crushing. 887 00:44:46,719 --> 00:44:48,880 Speaker 4: Do you think if you had been the nominee in 888 00:44:48,960 --> 00:44:50,840 Speaker 4: twenty twenty two you would have eaten Fetterman? 889 00:44:52,440 --> 00:44:54,640 Speaker 6: You know, it's hard to say you never want a 890 00:44:54,640 --> 00:44:58,359 Speaker 6: Monday Warning quarterback. I know that I would certainly give 891 00:44:58,440 --> 00:45:01,719 Speaker 6: it everything I could because I'm doing it because I 892 00:45:01,719 --> 00:45:03,879 Speaker 6: want to serve the country. And people say to me, God, 893 00:45:03,880 --> 00:45:06,520 Speaker 6: it's so vicious, why would you do it again? And 894 00:45:06,560 --> 00:45:09,399 Speaker 6: the reason is, you know, I love American I want 895 00:45:09,400 --> 00:45:12,040 Speaker 6: to serve, and so I don't want to prognosticate about 896 00:45:12,040 --> 00:45:15,200 Speaker 6: what would have happened. The thing I know is that 897 00:45:15,520 --> 00:45:17,520 Speaker 6: I feel the energy on the campaign trow. I feel 898 00:45:17,560 --> 00:45:22,200 Speaker 6: Pennsylvanians crying out for change and leadership in candor and 899 00:45:22,560 --> 00:45:25,120 Speaker 6: you know, calling out things that don't make sense, like 900 00:45:25,239 --> 00:45:28,560 Speaker 6: this border deal, which was proposed and ultimately I think 901 00:45:28,560 --> 00:45:31,640 Speaker 6: would be bad for Pennsylvanians and bad for America. They 902 00:45:31,680 --> 00:45:34,840 Speaker 6: want that authenticity, they want that truth, they want that leadership. 903 00:45:34,880 --> 00:45:37,359 Speaker 6: And that's why I'm optimistic and that's what I bring 904 00:45:37,360 --> 00:45:37,920 Speaker 6: to the table. 905 00:45:38,680 --> 00:45:39,839 Speaker 4: We were talking last night. 906 00:45:39,960 --> 00:45:42,000 Speaker 1: You have decided, I don't hope I'm not stepping on 907 00:45:42,440 --> 00:45:44,759 Speaker 1: a big announcement, but you're going to go all over 908 00:45:44,840 --> 00:45:48,879 Speaker 1: Pennsylvania in a tour bus basically to try to make 909 00:45:48,920 --> 00:45:52,080 Speaker 1: sure that you get to every community face to face, 910 00:45:52,160 --> 00:45:55,279 Speaker 1: be able to shake people's hands all over Pennsylvania, not 911 00:45:55,400 --> 00:45:58,759 Speaker 1: just obviously in the big cities like Pittsburgh and Philadelphia 912 00:45:58,840 --> 00:46:02,160 Speaker 1: and beyond, but also these small areas where turnout is 913 00:46:02,200 --> 00:46:05,080 Speaker 1: so huge. What do you expect and why is it 914 00:46:05,120 --> 00:46:09,200 Speaker 1: important to have that kind of grassroots campaign as we 915 00:46:09,280 --> 00:46:11,480 Speaker 1: come up nine months from now for the election. 916 00:46:12,680 --> 00:46:14,960 Speaker 6: Well, you know, I grew up in one of those communities, 917 00:46:15,000 --> 00:46:18,160 Speaker 6: one of those small towns in Bloomsburg, which is about 918 00:46:18,160 --> 00:46:21,799 Speaker 6: forty miles south of scrant Wolfsburg area, So that's home 919 00:46:21,840 --> 00:46:25,480 Speaker 6: for me. And you know, stepping back, sixty percent of 920 00:46:25,560 --> 00:46:29,080 Speaker 6: Pennsylvanians are living paycheck to paycheck and they feel like 921 00:46:30,239 --> 00:46:32,480 Speaker 6: their country and the people that have been running it 922 00:46:32,520 --> 00:46:35,840 Speaker 6: haven't been focused on their needs. So I'm want to 923 00:46:35,880 --> 00:46:38,040 Speaker 6: get out on the campaign trail and meet people across 924 00:46:38,080 --> 00:46:41,239 Speaker 6: our great Commonwealth to make sure I'm focused in on 925 00:46:41,320 --> 00:46:45,440 Speaker 6: the right problems, inflation, border crime, the things they're telling me, 926 00:46:45,480 --> 00:46:47,920 Speaker 6: the fentanyl crisis, which I mentioned last night. Five thousand 927 00:46:47,920 --> 00:46:52,799 Speaker 6: Pennsylvanians last year were killed by fentanyl, So I want 928 00:46:52,840 --> 00:46:55,040 Speaker 6: to hear it from them, and I will also want 929 00:46:55,040 --> 00:46:56,879 Speaker 6: to introduce myself to them and tell them why I'm 930 00:46:56,920 --> 00:46:59,880 Speaker 6: running and make that connection. I don't think there's any 931 00:47:00,239 --> 00:47:04,800 Speaker 6: that can replace that personal connection. And you know, political 932 00:47:04,880 --> 00:47:07,080 Speaker 6: consultants to say, TV and all these other things. Of course, 933 00:47:07,080 --> 00:47:09,640 Speaker 6: you got to do that to run a modern campaign. 934 00:47:10,040 --> 00:47:14,160 Speaker 6: But I don't think there's anything that compares to getting 935 00:47:14,200 --> 00:47:16,520 Speaker 6: out there and telling people why you want their vote 936 00:47:16,880 --> 00:47:18,799 Speaker 6: and asking them, respectfully to give it to you. And 937 00:47:19,080 --> 00:47:21,560 Speaker 6: so I'm going to be spending you know, thousands of 938 00:47:21,600 --> 00:47:23,480 Speaker 6: hours on the road doing that, and you know, I'm 939 00:47:23,480 --> 00:47:26,200 Speaker 6: honestly excited about it, because that's why I'm running. I 940 00:47:26,200 --> 00:47:28,279 Speaker 6: want to I want to serve the great people of Pennsylvania. 941 00:47:29,360 --> 00:47:32,719 Speaker 2: Dave, in your previous life or I guess earlier in 942 00:47:32,800 --> 00:47:36,000 Speaker 2: your life, I guess same life. Technically, you here were 943 00:47:36,040 --> 00:47:41,000 Speaker 2: somebody who was running a massive hedge fund, and so 944 00:47:41,160 --> 00:47:43,760 Speaker 2: you had to be right about the trajectory of the economy. 945 00:47:43,800 --> 00:47:45,920 Speaker 2: You had to get it right to get into that position. 946 00:47:47,080 --> 00:47:50,120 Speaker 2: What do you think the Biden administration, what are you anticipating, 947 00:47:50,120 --> 00:47:51,560 Speaker 2: because we talked about this a little bit in the 948 00:47:51,600 --> 00:47:55,360 Speaker 2: first hour, with some of the possible rate decreases and 949 00:47:55,920 --> 00:47:58,600 Speaker 2: just other ways that you think they're going to try. 950 00:47:58,719 --> 00:48:00,719 Speaker 2: You know, I think this audience will be helpful if 951 00:48:00,760 --> 00:48:03,520 Speaker 2: they knew in advance, if we all have a sense 952 00:48:03,560 --> 00:48:06,000 Speaker 2: of what games are going to be played, what levers 953 00:48:06,040 --> 00:48:08,640 Speaker 2: are going to be pulled to make a pretty anemic 954 00:48:08,719 --> 00:48:12,000 Speaker 2: economy look like it's stronger than it is going into 955 00:48:12,000 --> 00:48:12,440 Speaker 2: the election. 956 00:48:12,600 --> 00:48:13,480 Speaker 4: What do you foresee? 957 00:48:14,920 --> 00:48:16,399 Speaker 6: Well, I think that you know, you've got to start 958 00:48:16,400 --> 00:48:19,400 Speaker 6: with the with the economic reality. And what's happening is 959 00:48:19,440 --> 00:48:22,239 Speaker 6: though these headline numbers that you know, you you turn 960 00:48:22,320 --> 00:48:24,680 Speaker 6: on the news or read the newspaper and you see 961 00:48:25,280 --> 00:48:30,360 Speaker 6: a GDP up and inflation the rate of inflation down, 962 00:48:31,000 --> 00:48:33,839 Speaker 6: and people are surprised, Well, if all these numbers are good, 963 00:48:34,160 --> 00:48:36,799 Speaker 6: why aren't people happy with the economy? And the reason 964 00:48:36,840 --> 00:48:39,480 Speaker 6: they're not happy is that for most people, things have 965 00:48:39,560 --> 00:48:43,440 Speaker 6: gotten much worse. As I mentioned, sixty percent of Americans 966 00:48:43,520 --> 00:48:45,799 Speaker 6: live paycheck at paycheck, and so if you look at 967 00:48:45,840 --> 00:48:51,000 Speaker 6: their experience over the last three years, inflation has driven 968 00:48:51,040 --> 00:48:54,920 Speaker 6: prices up about twenty percent and wages have gone up 969 00:48:54,960 --> 00:48:58,040 Speaker 6: by about fifteen percent. So if you're buying food or 970 00:48:58,040 --> 00:49:01,440 Speaker 6: rent or fuel, you've gotten less ability to do that 971 00:49:01,480 --> 00:49:03,400 Speaker 6: than you did when Joe Biden came into office. And 972 00:49:03,440 --> 00:49:05,279 Speaker 6: then on top of that, what's happened as interest rates 973 00:49:05,320 --> 00:49:07,160 Speaker 6: have gone up dramatically. So if you're going to buy 974 00:49:07,160 --> 00:49:08,880 Speaker 6: a new pickup truck, the payments just went up by 975 00:49:08,880 --> 00:49:11,000 Speaker 6: sixty percent. Or if you're going to buy it, try 976 00:49:11,040 --> 00:49:13,520 Speaker 6: to buy a new house. New house purchases are down 977 00:49:13,600 --> 00:49:16,239 Speaker 6: fifty percent. They just got twice as expensive. And so 978 00:49:16,760 --> 00:49:21,080 Speaker 6: that's what most Americans. Most Americans are experiencing. They don't 979 00:49:21,080 --> 00:49:23,480 Speaker 6: have a big stock portfolio, so if the stock market's up, 980 00:49:23,640 --> 00:49:26,320 Speaker 6: it doesn't affect them much. And so that's the reality 981 00:49:26,400 --> 00:49:28,919 Speaker 6: Joe Biden has to confront. And that's why even though 982 00:49:29,160 --> 00:49:31,640 Speaker 6: the headline numbers look a little bit better, the overall 983 00:49:31,680 --> 00:49:34,640 Speaker 6: economy is a lot worse for Pennsylvania's I don't think 984 00:49:35,120 --> 00:49:39,279 Speaker 6: there's much likelihood that that's going to change enough to 985 00:49:39,480 --> 00:49:42,440 Speaker 6: change how people feel about it, how people are experiencing it. Now, 986 00:49:42,440 --> 00:49:44,840 Speaker 6: what's going to happen is that the Democrats's going to 987 00:49:44,920 --> 00:49:47,919 Speaker 6: say crazy things Like my opponent, Bob case He's talking 988 00:49:47,960 --> 00:49:51,439 Speaker 6: about greedflation. He thinks the problem is not that they 989 00:49:51,560 --> 00:49:54,200 Speaker 6: had policy that spent five trillion dollars more than they 990 00:49:54,239 --> 00:49:56,920 Speaker 6: should have show up prices. He thinks the problem is 991 00:49:56,960 --> 00:50:00,799 Speaker 6: that business people are gouging the consumer with greed, and 992 00:50:00,800 --> 00:50:03,040 Speaker 6: that greed is the reason that prices are going up. 993 00:50:03,080 --> 00:50:06,520 Speaker 6: This is exactly what a career politician who's never made payroll, 994 00:50:06,680 --> 00:50:09,359 Speaker 6: who's never created a single job, this is how they 995 00:50:09,400 --> 00:50:11,360 Speaker 6: think of things. This is how they think the government 996 00:50:11,719 --> 00:50:14,520 Speaker 6: is going to bestow opportunity on people, as opposed to 997 00:50:14,520 --> 00:50:17,239 Speaker 6: the private sector creating opportunity. And so I'm going to 998 00:50:17,280 --> 00:50:20,279 Speaker 6: be calling BS on all this crazy stuff because I 999 00:50:20,320 --> 00:50:23,359 Speaker 6: actually understand the economy. I'm talking to people on the ground. 1000 00:50:23,400 --> 00:50:24,879 Speaker 6: I know what's happening, and I know what it takes 1001 00:50:24,920 --> 00:50:26,759 Speaker 6: to create jobs. I'll say one more thing on this. 1002 00:50:27,239 --> 00:50:29,480 Speaker 6: What's happened to businesses, whether I go and talk to 1003 00:50:29,920 --> 00:50:32,680 Speaker 6: schools that teach people how to be hairdressers, or whether 1004 00:50:32,719 --> 00:50:36,480 Speaker 6: I talk to machinists, small manufacturer where I talk to farmers. 1005 00:50:37,440 --> 00:50:42,560 Speaker 6: This regulatory state under Joe Biden, the amount of regulations 1006 00:50:42,600 --> 00:50:45,400 Speaker 6: that have grown and made it harder to run businesses 1007 00:50:45,400 --> 00:50:48,520 Speaker 6: and create new opportunity. That's a huge drag on the economy. 1008 00:50:48,600 --> 00:50:52,240 Speaker 6: So in addition to calling BS on the crazy ideas 1009 00:50:52,239 --> 00:50:54,560 Speaker 6: of the Biden administration and what they say, I'm also 1010 00:50:54,600 --> 00:50:56,759 Speaker 6: going to lay out what needs to happen to get 1011 00:50:56,800 --> 00:51:02,799 Speaker 6: our economy really growing again and helping all Americans, all Pennsylvanians, 1012 00:51:02,800 --> 00:51:04,640 Speaker 6: and part of that's reducing regulation. 1013 00:51:05,360 --> 00:51:06,879 Speaker 4: I know you're a penn State fan. 1014 00:51:07,200 --> 00:51:10,520 Speaker 1: Last question for you maybe the most difficult one out there, 1015 00:51:10,640 --> 00:51:12,239 Speaker 1: one you can tell us for people out there who 1016 00:51:12,280 --> 00:51:14,680 Speaker 1: are listening Pennsylvania, they want to get involved where they 1017 00:51:14,680 --> 00:51:18,520 Speaker 1: need to go. But maybe the most important question in Pennsylvania, 1018 00:51:18,560 --> 00:51:20,640 Speaker 1: certainly in a Super Bowl week, even though neither team 1019 00:51:20,719 --> 00:51:25,040 Speaker 1: is involved, are you a Pittsburgh Steelers or an Eagles guy? 1020 00:51:25,160 --> 00:51:26,720 Speaker 1: Who is your team in the NFL? 1021 00:51:27,680 --> 00:51:30,680 Speaker 6: All right, I'm Steelers all the way. I grew up 1022 00:51:30,719 --> 00:51:34,080 Speaker 6: watching those great teams in the seventies and was born 1023 00:51:34,120 --> 00:51:36,759 Speaker 6: outside of Pittsburgh, and I lived there and had three 1024 00:51:36,760 --> 00:51:39,319 Speaker 6: of my kids there. So I'm a Pittsburgh Steelers fan 1025 00:51:39,360 --> 00:51:41,320 Speaker 6: all the way. Now, if the Steelers aren't in and 1026 00:51:41,400 --> 00:51:43,719 Speaker 6: then I'll cheer for the Eagles. But I'm all Steelers 1027 00:51:43,719 --> 00:51:46,200 Speaker 6: all the time. And but people want to know more 1028 00:51:46,239 --> 00:51:49,920 Speaker 6: about me, including more about the Steelers. It's Dave MCCORMICKPA 1029 00:51:50,040 --> 00:51:52,160 Speaker 6: dot com and guys, I'm so grateful to be on 1030 00:51:52,200 --> 00:51:52,480 Speaker 6: the show. 1031 00:51:52,520 --> 00:51:52,840 Speaker 5: Thank you. 1032 00:51:53,360 --> 00:51:56,239 Speaker 1: And by the way, David, last night funny fact. If 1033 00:51:56,280 --> 00:51:58,759 Speaker 1: anybody thinks that you're not going to be able to 1034 00:51:58,760 --> 00:52:02,160 Speaker 1: handle difficulty. You have six daughters that you are raising, 1035 00:52:02,200 --> 00:52:05,480 Speaker 1: and I think they're all like teenagers or early twenty. 1036 00:52:05,640 --> 00:52:08,239 Speaker 1: So if anybody out there can do anything, it would 1037 00:52:08,280 --> 00:52:10,160 Speaker 1: be somebody who's got six daughters that here raising. 1038 00:52:10,640 --> 00:52:14,440 Speaker 6: Yeah, people ask me, you know Ranger school, you know 1039 00:52:14,840 --> 00:52:18,480 Speaker 6: eighty second Airborne, running a big company. What was the 1040 00:52:18,480 --> 00:52:20,840 Speaker 6: hardest thing? Everything I said, Listen, when you've had sixteen 1041 00:52:20,880 --> 00:52:23,839 Speaker 6: aged daughters, everything else seems easy after that. 1042 00:52:24,520 --> 00:52:25,000 Speaker 4: No doubt. 1043 00:52:25,120 --> 00:52:26,839 Speaker 1: Dave, Thanks for all the work.

However, I suppose 1053 00:52:52,680 --> 00:52:55,360 Speaker 2: the plane may have, unless they have a technical issue, 1054 00:52:55,360 --> 00:52:57,680 Speaker 2: the ability to watch the Super Bowl.
