Speaker 1: is still in Taiwan. He may be flying back. That's

3
00:00:08,920 --> 00:00:11,360
Speaker 1: a long trip. I'm not sure exactly where he is,

4
00:00:11,400 --> 00:00:15,040
Speaker 1: but I know he interviewed the president of Taiwan and

5
00:00:15,080 --> 00:00:18,000
Speaker 1: he will be playing that for you on Monday. I'm

00:00:26,560 --> 00:00:29,720
Speaker 1: There's a ton of different breaking news stories that we

9
00:00:29,960 --> 00:00:32,800
Speaker 1: are going to be tracking during the course of today's show.

10
00:00:32,800 --> 00:00:37,239
Speaker 1: Of course, the shutdown is still ongoing. The stock market

11
00:00:37,760 --> 00:00:41,480
Speaker 1: does not care. Some positivity to start off the day

12
00:00:41,560 --> 00:00:46,720
Speaker 1: on Friday, record highs across the board in the stock

13
00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:50,479
Speaker 1: market again. So if you are out there and you

14
00:00:50,720 --> 00:00:53,080
Speaker 1: just bought s and P five hundred index funds and

15
00:00:53,159 --> 00:00:55,360
Speaker 1: you've said, I don't know what the politicians are going

16
00:00:55,440 --> 00:00:59,880
Speaker 1: to do, but I'm just going to invest in American companies, Congratulations,

17
00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:03,480
Speaker 1: you have got more money than you ever have had

18
00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:06,760
Speaker 1: in the history of your four oh one K. The

19
00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:10,240
Speaker 1: stock market has continued to set new highs over the

20
00:01:10,319 --> 00:01:13,800
Speaker 1: past year. And remember it was only back in April

21
00:01:14,160 --> 00:01:17,160
Speaker 1: that all of the experts told you that the economy

22
00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:21,600
Speaker 1: was collapsing because of the decisions that President Trump had made. Instead,

23
00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:25,280
Speaker 1: go ahead, learn it they were wrong. The Dow to

24
00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:28,600
Speaker 1: a record high today as we are all talking, the

25
00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:30,920
Speaker 1: Nasdaq to a record high, and the S and P

26
00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:34,200
Speaker 1: five hundred all two record highs, along with many of

27
00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:39,520
Speaker 1: the stocks out there, including Nearly although it's come back

28
00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:44,080
Speaker 1: down a little bit Tesla. Remember when Mike Walls, sorry

29
00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:46,640
Speaker 1: Tim Walls, whatever the heck his name is, the governor

30
00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:48,760
Speaker 1: of Minnesota, held up his phone and said, boy, does

31
00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:51,720
Speaker 1: anybody else get really excited when they see that Elon

32
00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:55,080
Speaker 1: Musk company stock is going down? Yeah, good move. I

33
00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:59,000
Speaker 1: hope you sold all your stock, you moron. Because Tesla's

34
00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:02,960
Speaker 1: continued to set new highs as we are rolling through

35
00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:08,800
Speaker 1: the early days of fall. So that is going on. Memphis.

36
00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:13,480
Speaker 1: I love this. I do think that if this were

37
00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:16,720
Speaker 1: a city where people paid more attention to from a

38
00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:20,880
Speaker 1: media perspective, the fact that the Trump administration has gone

39
00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:23,480
Speaker 1: into Memphis, the fact that many of the leaders of

40
00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:26,440
Speaker 1: Memphis have said, hey, we really need to help. Crime

41
00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:28,400
Speaker 1: is out of control. You heard some of our callers

42
00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:31,960
Speaker 1: yesterday from the Memphis area. One of the things you learn,

43
00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:34,240
Speaker 1: I know Rush talked about the drive by media all

44
00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:37,679
Speaker 1: the time. If it happens in New York City or Washington,

45
00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:41,800
Speaker 1: d C. Or LA, there are tons of media there

46
00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:46,880
Speaker 1: with microscopes basically just leaning right over and looking at

47
00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:50,720
Speaker 1: every little minute detail. If it happens in the middle

48
00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:52,520
Speaker 1: part of the country. And I say this as a

49
00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:54,280
Speaker 1: guy who's lived in the middle part of the country

50
00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:57,480
Speaker 1: pretty much my entire life, oftentimes people don't pay attention

51
00:02:57,520 --> 00:03:00,080
Speaker 1: to it. And so the fact that we actually they

52
00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:03,080
Speaker 1: have a partnership going on in Memphis designed to drive

53
00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:06,120
Speaker 1: down the murder rate in a city that, per capita

54
00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:08,600
Speaker 1: has one of the highest murder rates in the country,

55
00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:12,520
Speaker 1: is actually an incredibly successful and positive story. Of course,

56
00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:16,320
Speaker 1: not getting very much attention at all, there is to

57
00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:18,960
Speaker 1: a large degree as we enter I think it's day

58
00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:22,960
Speaker 1: three of the shutdown, there is also sort of a

59
00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:26,320
Speaker 1: recognition setting in. I think that Democrats have no idea

60
00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:29,280
Speaker 1: what they want to do, and they have no real message,

61
00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:31,120
Speaker 1: and there are a bunch of things I want to

62
00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:34,920
Speaker 1: talk about with that. By the way, also, ice protests

63
00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:38,800
Speaker 1: outside of a facility in Portland have spiraled out of control.

64
00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:44,560
Speaker 1: There was a reporter arrested who is getting a lot

65
00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:47,800
Speaker 1: of attention. They are now investigating somehow. The Portland police

66
00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:52,440
Speaker 1: can't investigate anyone. But this guy who saved a would

67
00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:55,880
Speaker 1: be burning American flag and was there reporting on it.

68
00:03:56,600 --> 00:03:59,920
Speaker 1: He is going to join us. Nick Sorter is his name.

69
00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:03,440
Speaker 1: He's going to join us at ten oh five Pacific,

70
00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:05,200
Speaker 1: that is one oh five on the East coast. He

71
00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:07,280
Speaker 1: is out in Portland, So we're going to talk about

72
00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:09,760
Speaker 1: what he is seeing on the ground. I know we

73
00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:12,840
Speaker 1: have a lot of you out in the Pacific Northwest refugees.

74
00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:15,440
Speaker 1: In many ways, you feel like from the insanity out

75
00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:18,359
Speaker 1: there that listen to this program. So we will be

76
00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:22,040
Speaker 1: talking with Nick about that. But I wanted to start

77
00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:25,640
Speaker 1: with this idea because I saw our friend Ryan Gerdusky

78
00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:28,560
Speaker 1: share a data point that some of you may have

79
00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:35,080
Speaker 1: also seen out there, and he said, hey, the only

80
00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:41,200
Speaker 1: place that's having babies is Trump voting areas. And that's

81
00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:44,160
Speaker 1: a little bit of an exaggeration. But here is Gurdusky's headline,

82
00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:45,760
Speaker 1: and I was reading it this morning as I was

83
00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:50,480
Speaker 1: getting ready. Among the counties with the highest fertility rate

84
00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:54,719
Speaker 1: so far in twenty twenty five, all of them voted

85
00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:59,320
Speaker 1: for Donald Trump. Sixty point five percent of the babies

86
00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:03,279
Speaker 1: born in twenty twenty five so far were in states

87
00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:07,480
Speaker 1: that voted for Trump in the last election, and he

88
00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:10,880
Speaker 1: dives into the data. And I was thinking about this

89
00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:15,279
Speaker 1: because my assistant Katie had her baby girl, and we

90
00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:18,520
Speaker 1: went to go visit Annie, who is one day old,

91
00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:20,400
Speaker 1: and I got to hold a one day old baby,

92
00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:23,960
Speaker 1: and I forgot I had three one day old babies

93
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:26,120
Speaker 1: at one point in my household, but I just forgot

94
00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:29,279
Speaker 1: how small they are. And her in laws were there,

95
00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:32,719
Speaker 1: and she's doing great, and this is her second baby,

96
00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:36,279
Speaker 1: and everybody's very excited. And if you were fortunate enough

97
00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:39,560
Speaker 1: to have kids or grandkids that have recently joined your family,

98
00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:43,279
Speaker 1: you know that feeling of just optimism and excitement. And

99
00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:45,400
Speaker 1: we talked about this on the program because Buck's got

100
00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:48,240
Speaker 1: a six month old and it's hard not to be

101
00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:51,359
Speaker 1: optimistic about the future and also committed to building a

102
00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:53,760
Speaker 1: better future when you have a baby in your arms.

103
00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:57,359
Speaker 1: And I was thinking about this in the context of

104
00:05:57,440 --> 00:06:00,960
Speaker 1: the government shutdown and putting all this together, or as

105
00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:03,480
Speaker 1: I was doing my reading and getting ready for the

106
00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:07,680
Speaker 1: show today, and I was thinking about, what is the

107
00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:12,719
Speaker 1: message that democrats are selling such that the most ardent

108
00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:16,440
Speaker 1: of all Democrat supporters have decided that they should not

109
00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:20,000
Speaker 1: have children, that kids are too much of a drain

110
00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:26,119
Speaker 1: on the climate, that we are headed for some form

111
00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:29,760
Speaker 1: of apocalyptic future, and if you add children to the mix,

112
00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:32,680
Speaker 1: that somehow you are making things worse, and you are

113
00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:37,480
Speaker 1: throwing them basically into the proverbial boiling pot, and there's

114
00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:41,520
Speaker 1: no hope. And I was thinking about that in the

115
00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:45,680
Speaker 1: context of the shutdown, and I think one of the

116
00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:50,000
Speaker 1: real challenges that the Democrat Party has is not that

117
00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:54,960
Speaker 1: its messaging is being unheard. It's that its message is

118
00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:59,680
Speaker 1: being heard, and it's so profoundly dark that even the

119
00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:03,560
Speaker 1: people who buy into the message are making decisions that

120
00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:06,000
Speaker 1: are worse than if they never listen to the message

121
00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:09,680
Speaker 1: at all. Well, this is a big picture analysis, but

122
00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:13,280
Speaker 1: I think it all kind of ties together. If you're

123
00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:18,120
Speaker 1: not willing to have children, you are effectively saying, I

124
00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:23,320
Speaker 1: don't believe in the future. I don't buy into the

125
00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:26,120
Speaker 1: idea that humanity is going to lead us to a

126
00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:30,440
Speaker 1: better place. And I think it ties in with one

127
00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:33,120
Speaker 1: of the questions that we asked that was so important

128
00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:36,920
Speaker 1: in the aftermath of Trump's big win in November, that

129
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:41,680
Speaker 1: so many of you and us all contributed to. It

130
00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:44,760
Speaker 1: was what is the Democrat Party going to do with this?

131
00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:49,360
Speaker 1: They had two options. They could look in the mirror

132
00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:53,280
Speaker 1: and they could say the nation heard our message and

133
00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:58,160
Speaker 1: they overwhelmingly rejected it. Or they could argue, as Kamala

134
00:07:58,200 --> 00:08:00,560
Speaker 1: Harris is now doing in her book A Hundred in

135
00:08:00,640 --> 00:08:02,960
Speaker 1: seven Days, which Buck is reading and I cannot wait

136
00:08:02,960 --> 00:08:05,880
Speaker 1: to hear his review of. Or they could argue, as

137
00:08:05,960 --> 00:08:10,200
Speaker 1: Kamala Harris did, we just didn't have enough time. Our

138
00:08:10,280 --> 00:08:14,000
Speaker 1: message didn't get out there, it wasn't able to be

139
00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:18,720
Speaker 1: heard by the American public. And Democrats are still focused

140
00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:22,360
Speaker 1: on number two. They're focused on the message not being

141
00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:26,120
Speaker 1: heard loud enough. But I think that's profoundly wrong. I

142
00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:28,400
Speaker 1: think the message of what they are selling is being

143
00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:33,640
Speaker 1: heard and rejected, and it's being rejected by huge swaths

144
00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:37,280
Speaker 1: of the population white, Black, Asian, Hispanic, reasonable, common sense,

145
00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:40,720
Speaker 1: family oriented voters out there across the nation of a

146
00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:44,319
Speaker 1: wide variety of backgrounds. Remember all fifty states moved towards

147
00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:48,720
Speaker 1: Trump in twenty twenty four. But it's not just that

148
00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:54,199
Speaker 1: their message is being rejected by the American voter. It's

149
00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:57,240
Speaker 1: that the people that are hearing their message and acting

150
00:08:57,320 --> 00:09:02,160
Speaker 1: on it, are actually making worst decisions for their lives.

151
00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:06,720
Speaker 1: Think about that for a moment, because I don't know

152
00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:09,520
Speaker 1: that we've ever really lived in an era where something

153
00:09:09,640 --> 00:09:14,440
Speaker 1: like that could happen. Democrats that are the most committed,

154
00:09:14,520 --> 00:09:17,120
Speaker 1: the most left wing in the country, they are hearing

155
00:09:17,559 --> 00:09:21,319
Speaker 1: what their party is arguing, and they are saying things

156
00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:24,600
Speaker 1: are so bad now. America is so awful that I

157
00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:29,079
Speaker 1: don't want to bring children into this country. They are

158
00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:32,160
Speaker 1: hearing what Democrats are arguing, and they are saying, we

159
00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:36,600
Speaker 1: have to kill President Trump because he is hitler. They

160
00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:39,199
Speaker 1: are hearing what Democrats are arguing, and they are saying,

161
00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:43,520
Speaker 1: we have to go kill Charlie Kirk. We can't argue

162
00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:46,880
Speaker 1: against his message. His words are violence that we have

163
00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:52,400
Speaker 1: to answer with violence of our own. They're burning down churches,

164
00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:57,360
Speaker 1: They're going into schools, and they are killing innocent children

165
00:09:57,480 --> 00:10:02,680
Speaker 1: at Christian schools in Minneapolis, in Nashville. They're trying to

166
00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:07,280
Speaker 1: show up and kill Supreme Court justices because they're concerned

167
00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:11,480
Speaker 1: about what their rulings are going to do on the

168
00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:16,600
Speaker 1: Roe v. Wade issue. You stitch all this together, and

169
00:10:16,679 --> 00:10:20,880
Speaker 1: the nation thankfully is rejecting the arguments being made by

170
00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:24,360
Speaker 1: the Democrat Party, but the shutdown is being led by

171
00:10:24,400 --> 00:10:26,280
Speaker 1: the far left of this party, the part of the

172
00:10:26,280 --> 00:10:29,160
Speaker 1: party that is just angry and just demands that they're

173
00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:35,080
Speaker 1: be conflict and confrontation. And yet that element of the

174
00:10:35,120 --> 00:10:39,640
Speaker 1: party is toxic and sick, and it's now infecting not

175
00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:43,160
Speaker 1: only their political beliefs, but it's impacting in a very

176
00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:48,400
Speaker 1: negative way the larger society around them, such that if

177
00:10:48,440 --> 00:10:52,559
Speaker 1: you voted for Kamala Harris, you don't want to have kids.

178
00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:53,600
Speaker 2: Now.

179
00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:58,320
Speaker 1: Long range, this is a very self defeating proposition, because,

180
00:10:58,440 --> 00:11:01,800
Speaker 1: as Ryan Gardusky is saying twenty twenty five, if sixty

181
00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:06,080
Speaker 1: point five percent of kids are being born in Trump

182
00:11:06,160 --> 00:11:11,560
Speaker 1: States and if Trump counties are overwhelmingly seeing population growth, well,

183
00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:14,800
Speaker 1: this is a lot of babies being born for freedom.

184
00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:19,080
Speaker 1: And the overall structural problems that confront the Democrat Party

185
00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:24,280
Speaker 1: actually are profoundly more challenging going forward, because theoretically, those

186
00:11:24,320 --> 00:11:27,080
Speaker 1: families are going to raise their kids to be proud

187
00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:30,960
Speaker 1: of America and to support freedom and to support the

188
00:11:31,240 --> 00:11:40,400
Speaker 1: overall American way of life. But as they fall further behind,

189
00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:44,520
Speaker 1: and as their worldview becomes darker and more nihilistic. I

190
00:11:44,559 --> 00:11:49,360
Speaker 1: think we have to all prepare ourselves for way more violence.

191
00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:53,440
Speaker 1: And I don't think all of this has been put

192
00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:55,960
Speaker 1: together necessarily, and a lot of people have thought about it.

193
00:11:56,559 --> 00:12:00,559
Speaker 1: But the next census is going to make base make

194
00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:06,520
Speaker 1: it impossible for Democrats to win a presidential election. No

195
00:12:06,559 --> 00:12:09,640
Speaker 1: one is talking about this, but the only way Kamala

196
00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:13,840
Speaker 1: could have won in twenty twenty four was by winning Pennsylvania, Michigan,

197
00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:17,240
Speaker 1: and Wisconsin, and she came about two hundred and twenty

198
00:12:17,280 --> 00:12:22,240
Speaker 1: thousand votes ish away from winning those states. If she had,

199
00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:25,200
Speaker 1: she would have won the electoral college two seventy to

200
00:12:25,240 --> 00:12:29,480
Speaker 1: two sixty eight. Twenty twenty eight. We still have the

201
00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:33,800
Speaker 1: existing census that's broken and didn't get things correct twenty

202
00:12:33,880 --> 00:12:39,040
Speaker 1: thirty two. That pathway has gone forever because way more

203
00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:44,480
Speaker 1: electoral votes are shifting to the red states. And even

204
00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:48,440
Speaker 1: if the Republican candidate in twenty thirty two lost the

205
00:12:48,520 --> 00:12:51,480
Speaker 1: so called blue Wall of the Midwest, which I'm skeptical

206
00:12:51,520 --> 00:12:54,040
Speaker 1: would happen. But even if that happened, that wouldn't be

207
00:12:54,040 --> 00:12:58,520
Speaker 1: a pathway for the Democrat Party to win. Sooner or later,

208
00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:00,280
Speaker 1: they have to come down to the South, and they

209
00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:02,520
Speaker 1: have to start winning Southern states where I live, and

210
00:13:02,559 --> 00:13:04,079
Speaker 1: I just don't think that's going to happen. From a

211
00:13:04,120 --> 00:13:07,800
Speaker 1: cultural perspective, I think those states where I live are

212
00:13:07,840 --> 00:13:13,160
Speaker 1: all moving redder in a rapid fashion. And so this

213
00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:16,320
Speaker 1: awful worldview that they are selling that leads right now

214
00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:18,600
Speaker 1: to the government being shut down, and they don't really

215
00:13:18,640 --> 00:13:21,079
Speaker 1: have any argument for why it needs to be shut down.

216
00:13:21,120 --> 00:13:25,200
Speaker 1: They're just angry. This awful worldview that does not create

217
00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:28,480
Speaker 1: babies like the baby I just went to go see,

218
00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:33,559
Speaker 1: does not create optimism, does not create American ingenuity and

219
00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:37,520
Speaker 1: an embrace of the human spirit, and just basic optimism.

220
00:13:38,120 --> 00:13:42,160
Speaker 1: It's leading the Democrat Party to a very dark place

221
00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:46,559
Speaker 1: where unfortunately, I think we have to prepare ourselves for

222
00:13:46,679 --> 00:13:51,360
Speaker 1: more Charlie Kirks. Because it's not that the Democrat message

223
00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:54,680
Speaker 1: isn't being heard. It's being heard and rejected by saying

224
00:13:54,760 --> 00:13:57,760
Speaker 1: people all across the United States, which is why all

225
00:13:57,800 --> 00:14:02,000
Speaker 1: fifty states move towards Trump. But it's particularly being heard

226
00:14:02,360 --> 00:14:05,600
Speaker 1: by the toxic base of the Democrat Party, and they

227
00:14:05,640 --> 00:14:08,960
Speaker 1: are acting out in an angry fashion because the dark,

228
00:14:09,640 --> 00:14:13,760
Speaker 1: dystopian vision that is being shared by the Democrat Party

229
00:14:14,120 --> 00:14:17,320
Speaker 1: is now motivating direct acts of political violence, and just

230
00:14:17,480 --> 00:14:23,720
Speaker 1: outrageous attacks on the idea of government even being open

231
00:14:23,760 --> 00:14:27,200
Speaker 1: itself when there's nothing that they're even arguing for. It's

232
00:14:27,480 --> 00:14:31,280
Speaker 1: just a anger, a lash out, the petulant fit of

233
00:14:31,320 --> 00:14:35,080
Speaker 1: a child. That's where we are, and I think it's

234
00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:38,680
Speaker 1: important to put all these things together and recognize where

235
00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:40,800
Speaker 1: that's going to lead us. So that's what I was

236
00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:43,040
Speaker 1: thinking about this morning. We'll take some of your calls

237
00:14:43,040 --> 00:14:44,520
Speaker 1: to take some of your talkbacks. We only have one

238
00:14:44,560 --> 00:14:46,600
Speaker 1: guest as we try to get as many of your

239
00:14:46,600 --> 00:14:50,680
Speaker 1: reactions in as we can on a Friday morning here

240
00:14:50,720 --> 00:14:52,600
Speaker 1: as we head into the weekend, and I want to

241
00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:54,880
Speaker 1: tell you, maybe you're out there and you want to prepare.

242
00:14:54,880 --> 00:14:57,680
Speaker 1: It looks like I knocked on wood. We're going to

243
00:14:57,720 --> 00:15:02,920
Speaker 1: have a relatively relatively so far quiet. I hope it

244
00:15:02,960 --> 00:15:06,640
Speaker 1: continues hurricane season, but tornadoes are going to be coming

245
00:15:06,680 --> 00:15:09,200
Speaker 1: back through in the South where I live. In the spring,

246
00:15:09,520 --> 00:15:12,080
Speaker 1: there's always the danger of floods. We know that anything

247
00:15:12,200 --> 00:15:15,160
Speaker 1: can happen. Why not have a rapid radio to help

248
00:15:15,160 --> 00:15:18,920
Speaker 1: protect yourself and your family five day charge so that

249
00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:23,200
Speaker 1: you can be reached no matter what whatever communication device

250

Speaker 1: you want.

Speaker 2: To use.

252
00:15:23,880 --> 00:15:26,560
Speaker 1: It tries to connect on any of the lt networks,

253
00:15:26,560 --> 00:15:28,360
Speaker 1: So if anything's up and running, you're going to be

254
00:15:28,400 --> 00:15:31,440
Speaker 1: able to be up and running and again five days

255

Speaker 1: charge without having to recharge. We have these in the

256

Speaker 1: Travis household. We use them elderly family members and also

257
00:15:37,480 --> 00:15:40,120

282
00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:49,320
Speaker 1: The economy growing currently at three point eight percent rate,

283
00:16:49,920 --> 00:16:53,280
Speaker 1: inflation still yet to rear its ugly head. I'm just

284
00:16:53,360 --> 00:16:57,920
Speaker 1: telling you the Trump economy is starting to take flights,

285
00:16:58,640 --> 00:17:03,560
Speaker 1: and I hope that all of you are aware of that.

286
00:17:03,640 --> 00:17:07,600
Speaker 1: I understand that the lingering impact here's the biggest challenge.

287
00:17:07,680 --> 00:17:12,000
Speaker 1: People say, Okay, what what is the biggest challenge right

288
00:17:12,080 --> 00:17:16,280
Speaker 1: now in the economy as you see it. I think it's,

289
00:17:16,320 --> 00:17:21,199
Speaker 1: frankly just that the lingering impact of how awful Biden's

290
00:17:21,359 --> 00:17:26,439
Speaker 1: economic picture was is hard to get past because a

291
00:17:26,440 --> 00:17:29,040
Speaker 1: lot of you still feel and I feel it and

292
00:17:29,160 --> 00:17:32,359
Speaker 1: when I buy things too, that things just all cost

293
00:17:32,400 --> 00:17:36,199
Speaker 1: too much. And it's going to take years for the

294
00:17:36,320 --> 00:17:41,159
Speaker 1: rapid increase in prices that occurred during Biden's era to

295
00:17:41,359 --> 00:17:46,000
Speaker 1: actually normalize itself out. The reality is we need probably

296
00:17:46,080 --> 00:17:48,879
Speaker 1: five years of two percent two and a half percent

297
00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:52,399
Speaker 1: inflation in order for us to kind of normalize and

298
00:17:52,440 --> 00:17:56,000
Speaker 1: get used to the rapid increase in prices that occurred

299
00:17:56,080 --> 00:18:01,159
Speaker 1: during the Biden administration, and other than oil and gas,

300
00:18:01,200 --> 00:18:03,320
Speaker 1: which the prices have come back down, and that's a

301
00:18:03,320 --> 00:18:07,760
Speaker 1: more fluctuating commodity price. The reality is, once you have

302
00:18:07,880 --> 00:18:12,120
Speaker 1: embedded inflation, prices don't come back down. They don't ever

303
00:18:12,160 --> 00:18:17,840
Speaker 1: go negative. So the reason I think there is a

304
00:18:17,960 --> 00:18:23,000
Speaker 1: disconnect between what is rapidly becoming a very strong economy

305
00:18:23,520 --> 00:18:26,919
Speaker 1: and what still feels frustrating every time you buy something

306
00:18:27,480 --> 00:18:31,160
Speaker 1: is I just I don't think most people out there

307
00:18:31,840 --> 00:18:36,239
Speaker 1: really understood how bad Biden managed the economy. And I

308
00:18:36,359 --> 00:18:40,000
Speaker 1: wasn't alive back then, or at least was so young,

309
00:18:40,080 --> 00:18:44,320
Speaker 1: I certainly had no impressions. My bet is those of

310
00:18:44,359 --> 00:18:48,560
Speaker 1: you who lived through the rapid inflation of the nineteen seventies,

311
00:18:49,320 --> 00:18:54,080
Speaker 1: pricing normalcy didn't really return to you until the second

312
00:18:54,160 --> 00:18:58,600
Speaker 1: term of Ronald Reagan, where finally the rapid price increases

313
00:18:58,640 --> 00:19:03,320
Speaker 1: that occurred during Jimmy Carter's tenure came back down to

314
00:19:03,680 --> 00:19:07,680
Speaker 1: a form of normalcy. Now, I mentioned off the start

315
00:19:07,720 --> 00:19:12,080
Speaker 1: of the program about the fact that Democrat message was

316
00:19:12,119 --> 00:19:17,440
Speaker 1: being heard and they recognize that it's hard to stand

317
00:19:17,520 --> 00:19:22,640
Speaker 1: for left wing policies because those left wing policies actually

318
00:19:23,080 --> 00:19:27,359
Speaker 1: end up costing everyone. New York City is going to

319
00:19:27,359 --> 00:19:30,719
Speaker 1: bear the cost of this because there is an articulate

320
00:19:30,920 --> 00:19:37,239
Speaker 1: and charismatic and young and attractive socialistic candidate that is

321
00:19:37,359 --> 00:19:41,480
Speaker 1: saying things that people want to hear without understanding any

322
00:19:41,680 --> 00:19:47,440
Speaker 1: of the economic realities that underpin this. Remember Zorn Mandami said,

323
00:19:47,480 --> 00:19:51,040
Speaker 1: the way to deal with higher grocery prices is for

324
00:19:51,680 --> 00:19:54,520
Speaker 1: the City of New York to be in charge of groceries.

325
00:19:55,640 --> 00:19:58,120
Speaker 1: Let me just tell you something. There has never been

326
00:19:58,160 --> 00:20:01,840
Speaker 1: a successful city or state eight sponsored grocery in the

327
00:20:01,880 --> 00:20:05,040
Speaker 1: history of mankind that I'm aware of. This is what

328
00:20:05,080 --> 00:20:09,640
Speaker 1: they do in Cuba. So the idea that suddenly things

329
00:20:09,680 --> 00:20:13,120
Speaker 1: are going to get cheaper if a much more inefficient

330
00:20:13,320 --> 00:20:18,800
Speaker 1: method of bringing produce and bringing product to the city

331
00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:22,240
Speaker 1: is going to be put in place is madness. And

332
00:20:22,320 --> 00:20:25,120
Speaker 1: many of you out there understand this because you understand

333
00:20:25,119 --> 00:20:28,720
Speaker 1: basic business. And the reality is there are very few

334
00:20:29,520 --> 00:20:33,800
Speaker 1: businesses on the planet that have a lower profit margin

335
00:20:34,280 --> 00:20:38,400
Speaker 1: than grocery stores. We're talking about grocery stores making one

336
00:20:38,640 --> 00:20:42,280
Speaker 1: two percent. They sell a lot of product, but it's

337
00:20:42,320 --> 00:20:46,639
Speaker 1: a volume based business with very tiny margins. So the

338
00:20:46,720 --> 00:20:49,119
Speaker 1: idea that you're going to be able to somehow cut

339
00:20:49,119 --> 00:20:52,640
Speaker 1: into the profit margins of grocery stores and make way

340
00:20:52,680 --> 00:20:57,639
Speaker 1: more money is frankly bonkers. It's insane. It's a form

341
00:20:57,840 --> 00:21:03,119
Speaker 1: of just absolute madness, which unfortunately has overtaken, as I

342
00:21:03,200 --> 00:21:06,119
Speaker 1: laid out, much of the left in this country. But

343
00:21:06,960 --> 00:21:12,760
Speaker 1: Mam Donnie is an eloquent advocate for awful policies. And

344
00:21:12,960 --> 00:21:14,919
Speaker 1: I saw this and I said I should share this

345
00:21:14,920 --> 00:21:17,199
Speaker 1: because sometimes you guys complain. I don't know why you

346
00:21:17,280 --> 00:21:22,119
Speaker 1: talk about culture so much. Tell me more about how

347
00:21:23,080 --> 00:21:30,960
Speaker 1: the flat tax intersects with the larger geopolitical ramifications of

348
00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:35,800
Speaker 1: a bearing street energy pipeline and how that's going to Okay,

349
00:21:36,680 --> 00:21:41,679
Speaker 1: you can talk super specific policy. Super specific policy doesn't

350
00:21:41,680 --> 00:21:45,160
Speaker 1: win elections. I'm sorry, it doesn't. You have to tap

351
00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:48,040
Speaker 1: into the culture. And I saw this and I said,

352
00:21:48,040 --> 00:21:52,000
Speaker 1: this is how Mamdanni's doing it. The Bachelor is back

353
00:21:52,040 --> 00:21:55,440
Speaker 1: on air. Okay, The Bachelor. You may not watch. I

354
00:21:55,440 --> 00:21:58,080
Speaker 1: think it's the Golden Bachelor. Now, this is an old

355
00:21:58,119 --> 00:22:03,080
Speaker 1: guy meeting with older women, and it's wildly popular in

356
00:22:03,160 --> 00:22:07,960
Speaker 1: pop culture and zoron Mam Donnie made a New York

357
00:22:08,040 --> 00:22:12,520
Speaker 1: City ad that aired during The Bachelor this week, and

358
00:22:12,560 --> 00:22:14,439
Speaker 1: this is what you would have heard. And so for

359
00:22:14,480 --> 00:22:17,320
Speaker 1: those of you who have ever watched The Bachelor, the

360
00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:19,879
Speaker 1: concept of the show is at the end of the show,

361
00:22:20,280 --> 00:22:22,679
Speaker 1: a host a bachelorette two is a version of this,

362
00:22:23,080 --> 00:22:26,600
Speaker 1: gives the contestants a rose if they get to continue

363
00:22:26,640 --> 00:22:30,160
Speaker 1: to compete to win the true love of the Bachelor

364
00:22:30,320 --> 00:22:34,440
Speaker 1: or the Bachelorette. Mam Donnie speaks the language of young,

365
00:22:34,560 --> 00:22:39,280
Speaker 1: disaffected voters. It's important you go where they are. You

366
00:22:39,359 --> 00:22:42,280
Speaker 1: don't ask them to come where you are. And this

367
00:22:42,359 --> 00:22:44,840
Speaker 1: is the ad. He ran. I think it's ridiculous. I

368
00:22:44,880 --> 00:22:47,919
Speaker 1: think it's absurd. Guess what it works. Listen.

369
00:22:48,800 --> 00:22:49,600
Speaker 2: You deserve better.

370
00:22:50,640 --> 00:22:52,640
Speaker 5: You deserve to be able to raise your family here,

371
00:22:53,520 --> 00:22:54,520
Speaker 5: to be safe.

372
00:22:54,680 --> 00:22:56,800
Speaker 6: You need to travel where you need to for you

373
00:22:56,840 --> 00:22:58,320
Speaker 6: have costs and worry.

374
00:22:58,720 --> 00:23:00,879
Speaker 2: You deserve someone who works as hard as you do.

375
00:23:01,520 --> 00:23:05,200
Speaker 2: He thinks about you every second of the day. That's

376
00:23:05,240 --> 00:23:07,800
Speaker 2: the kind of mayor I promised to be New York.

377
00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:14,600
Speaker 1: Will you accept this rose? Okay? I get it. A

378
00:23:14,640 --> 00:23:17,600
Speaker 1: lot of you are rolling your eyes. Producer Ali was

379
00:23:17,640 --> 00:23:19,760
Speaker 1: so mad when I sent her this. She said, Oh,

380
00:23:20,560 --> 00:23:25,480
Speaker 1: it works. The reason he's gonna win is he's glib.

381
00:23:26,359 --> 00:23:30,120
Speaker 1: He connects on the culture. He's good on social media.

382
00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:35,160
Speaker 1: He's handsome on Instagram. He's good at cutting through the

383
00:23:35,240 --> 00:23:38,960
Speaker 1: noise because oh, he watches The Bachelor too. He's giving

384
00:23:39,040 --> 00:23:42,399
Speaker 1: us a rose. How bad of a guy could he be.

385
00:23:43,240 --> 00:23:46,280
Speaker 1: He's gonna make my rent lower, and he's gonna build

386
00:23:46,320 --> 00:23:48,840
Speaker 1: grocery stores and I'm gonna be able to get all

387
00:23:48,880 --> 00:23:51,879
Speaker 1: of my hair care products and all of my face

388
00:23:51,960 --> 00:23:56,560
Speaker 1: creams so much cheaper. He's so great. I love so

389
00:23:56,720 --> 00:24:02,960
Speaker 1: running m Dodey. It works. It works. You have to

390
00:24:03,080 --> 00:24:07,160
Speaker 1: go where people are and you have to confront them.

391
00:24:08,480 --> 00:24:13,440
Speaker 1: These girls saw that ad and they're like, oh, he's

392
00:24:13,520 --> 00:24:18,560
Speaker 1: where we are. He's watching The Bachelor too. He's gonna

393
00:24:18,560 --> 00:24:21,000
Speaker 1: make my I don't know, I don't even know what

394
00:24:21,040 --> 00:24:23,080
Speaker 1: people buy. Faith. He's gonna make me. I buy books,

395
00:24:23,119 --> 00:24:25,720
Speaker 1: and I buy like Kirkland products at Costco. So I'm

396
00:24:25,720 --> 00:24:28,800
Speaker 1: not very good at thinking about how everything's gonna be cheaper.

397
00:24:29,480 --> 00:24:33,320
Speaker 1: He's gonna make my uh ug boots that's popular with

398
00:24:33,359 --> 00:24:35,399
Speaker 1: the girls, right, He's gonna make my ug boots so

399
00:24:35,480 --> 00:24:41,080
Speaker 1: much cheaper. Oh my god, He's so amazing, like like

400
00:24:41,080 --> 00:24:46,760
Speaker 1: like you think this is crazy, I'm telling you, this

401
00:24:47,119 --> 00:24:53,520
Speaker 1: bachelor ad is echoing all through all through this young

402
00:24:53,680 --> 00:24:58,000
Speaker 1: voting public, which overwhelmingly thinks socialism works.

403
00:24:58,000 --> 00:24:58,200
Speaker 7: See.

404
00:24:58,240 --> 00:25:03,560
Speaker 1: One of the challenges of capitalism is it so good

405
00:25:04,040 --> 00:25:06,479
Speaker 1: that people start to take for granted how good it is.

406
00:25:08,080 --> 00:25:10,240
Speaker 1: This is true of anything in life that is really great.

407
00:25:11,480 --> 00:25:16,600
Speaker 1: At some point in time, you forget how important it

408
00:25:16,680 --> 00:25:22,040
Speaker 1: is to have solid foundational values in place. Because solid

409
00:25:22,080 --> 00:25:26,000
Speaker 1: foundational values work so well that you can start to think, hey,

410
00:25:26,040 --> 00:25:31,680
Speaker 1: what if we just didn't care about this anymore. The

411
00:25:31,800 --> 00:25:36,080
Speaker 1: ultimate flaw of capitalism is capitalism works so well people

412
00:25:36,119 --> 00:25:39,080
Speaker 1: start thinking that other forms of government might work too.

413
00:25:41,119 --> 00:25:44,720
Speaker 1: All these kids that are mostly having their rent paid

414
00:25:44,720 --> 00:25:46,800
Speaker 1: for by mom and dad living in New York City

415
00:25:47,760 --> 00:25:51,639
Speaker 1: because they can't afford their own rent. They have no

416
00:25:51,920 --> 00:25:57,119
Speaker 1: economic basis in reality whatsoever, But Mom Donnie looks like

417
00:25:57,720 --> 00:26:00,879
Speaker 1: the kind of person that they think should be their politician.

418
00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:05,680
Speaker 1: This is how Kamala's entire career happened. Kamala Harris was

419
00:26:05,720 --> 00:26:09,480
Speaker 1: smart enough to realize, hey, you know, the average left

420
00:26:09,480 --> 00:26:14,679
Speaker 1: wing California voter wants someone who looks like me to

421
00:26:14,840 --> 00:26:18,040
Speaker 1: be in a position of prominence in this state, and

422
00:26:18,080 --> 00:26:20,440
Speaker 1: she wrote that almost all the way to the White House.

423
00:26:21,520 --> 00:26:24,080
Speaker 1: I'm not sure what Kamala Harris has ever done well

424
00:26:24,760 --> 00:26:28,520
Speaker 1: in her entire life, but she looks like the kind

425
00:26:28,560 --> 00:26:33,040
Speaker 1: of person that makes rich white women feel better about

426
00:26:33,080 --> 00:26:36,840
Speaker 1: themselves in California, and she can win an election based

427
00:26:36,880 --> 00:26:41,120
Speaker 1: on it. Mom, Donnie looks like the kind of person

428
00:26:41,680 --> 00:26:45,479
Speaker 1: that rich white liberals want to represent them in New

429
00:26:45,560 --> 00:26:48,080
Speaker 1: York City. And then he shows up at the places

430
00:26:48,119 --> 00:26:51,920
Speaker 1: that they care about, and he's conversant in the pop

431
00:26:51,960 --> 00:26:55,600
Speaker 1: culture language. And you may think it's ridiculous that this

432
00:26:55,720 --> 00:27:00,320
Speaker 1: thirty four year old socialist Ugandan out of no where

433
00:27:00,880 --> 00:27:03,440
Speaker 1: is suddenly showing up with a rose telling New York

434
00:27:03,480 --> 00:27:06,240
Speaker 1: City that he should be their mayor. But according to

435
00:27:06,280 --> 00:27:10,160
Speaker 1: the gambling markets right now, he's at ninety percent likelihood

436
00:27:10,160 --> 00:27:14,679
Speaker 1: to win. He's really good at marketing himself. He's got

437
00:27:15,119 --> 00:27:20,800
Speaker 1: a genius for selling the product, and the product is him,

438
00:27:20,920 --> 00:27:24,760
Speaker 1: and it's awful and everything that he supports is wrong.

439
00:27:27,600 --> 00:27:29,640
Speaker 1: But there is no alternative for him in New York

440
00:27:29,680 --> 00:27:34,040
Speaker 1: City right now. And I got to give him credit

441
00:27:34,280 --> 00:27:36,080
Speaker 1: because again, a lot of you are going to say, oh,

442
00:27:36,119 --> 00:27:38,720
Speaker 1: this is cringe. Oh, this is ridiculous. You're not the target.

443
00:27:40,240 --> 00:27:44,600
Speaker 1: You're not the target. Everybody who watches The Bachelor. I

444
00:27:44,640 --> 00:27:47,720
Speaker 1: bet the Bachelor in New York City. I bet the

445
00:27:47,760 --> 00:27:51,399
Speaker 1: people watching The Bachelor in New York City vote Democrat

446
00:27:51,520 --> 00:27:57,120
Speaker 1: ninety ten. It's an overwhelmingly young female audience. They see

447
00:27:57,520 --> 00:28:01,359
Speaker 1: Mom Donnie with that rose, it's melt. Oh, look at

448
00:28:01,359 --> 00:28:04,119
Speaker 1: that handsome guy. This is the kind of guy I

449
00:28:04,160 --> 00:28:06,800
Speaker 1: would like today. Oh, he'll take care of the city,

450
00:28:07,000 --> 00:28:09,320
Speaker 1: just like he would take care of me. And they

451
00:28:09,320 --> 00:28:13,320
Speaker 1: go vote for him. And then meanwhile, a bunch of

452
00:28:13,359 --> 00:28:16,439
Speaker 1: people who don't understand how to compete in the modern

453
00:28:16,520 --> 00:28:19,240
Speaker 1: cultural wars are just sitting around like, I don't know

454
00:28:19,280 --> 00:28:24,240
Speaker 1: who cares about the Bachelor. Yeah, we did just elect

455
00:28:24,359 --> 00:28:30,480
Speaker 1: the most successful Republican twenty first century political candidate with

456
00:28:30,560 --> 00:28:33,840
Speaker 1: a landslide election, who is famous to a large extent

457
00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:38,960
Speaker 1: because he was on a reality television show. You can

458
00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:41,080
Speaker 1: say a lot of things about Donald Trump. People get

459
00:28:41,080 --> 00:28:43,840
Speaker 1: mad sometimes when he comments on Taylor Swift getting engaged,

460
00:28:44,520 --> 00:28:47,240
Speaker 1: or when he comments on what the NFL kickoff rules are.

461
00:28:48,640 --> 00:28:51,800
Speaker 1: You go to people where they are and that's how

462
00:28:51,840 --> 00:28:54,520
Speaker 1: you win. And Mom Donnie showing up on The freaking Bachelor.

463
00:28:54,600 --> 00:28:56,360
Speaker 1: I don't know that any politician has ever done an

464
00:28:56,360 --> 00:29:00,680
Speaker 1: ad like this before. And it's going to work. And

465
00:29:00,760 --> 00:29:05,160
Speaker 1: New York City is in trouble because Curtis Sliwa and

466
00:29:05,160 --> 00:29:08,440
Speaker 1: Andrew Cuomo, neither one of whom has a chance at

467
00:29:08,440 --> 00:29:11,440
Speaker 1: all of winning, are both gonna end up in a

468
00:29:12,920 --> 00:29:15,760
Speaker 1: what's it like when you're It reminds me of like

469
00:29:15,880 --> 00:29:19,320
Speaker 1: a fight where you're both wrestling and you're sinking underground.

470
00:29:19,840 --> 00:29:22,640
Speaker 1: You're both just gonna drown, and the guy's just sitting

471
00:29:22,640 --> 00:29:24,000
Speaker 1: in the boat, not even having to get in a

472
00:29:24,040 --> 00:29:27,800
Speaker 1: fight with you. You're both wrestling with each other as

473
00:29:27,840 --> 00:29:30,520
Speaker 1: you slowly sink underwater to see who can do the

474
00:29:30,520 --> 00:29:32,880
Speaker 1: best job to come in second place. And the guy

475
00:29:32,920 --> 00:29:34,560
Speaker 1: who's gonna win is just sitting up there in the

476
00:29:34,560 --> 00:29:38,120
Speaker 1: boat with a rose between his teeth, just kicking his

477
00:29:38,160 --> 00:29:40,600
Speaker 1: feet up and enjoying the boat ride. That's kind of

478
00:29:40,600 --> 00:29:42,880
Speaker 1: the metaphorical sense of what I have for where New

479
00:29:42,960 --> 00:29:47,280
Speaker 1: York City is headed. And again I give credit to

480
00:29:47,320 --> 00:29:50,920
Speaker 1: mom Donnie, not because he's right on any issue, but because,

481
00:29:50,960 --> 00:29:54,280
Speaker 1: man is he good at making people think that he

482
00:29:54,400 --> 00:29:59,440
Speaker 1: is an unthreatening face of socialism, communism. Even when it

483
00:29:59,480 --> 00:30:02,520
Speaker 1: comes to better sleep. Cozy ERT's bamboo sheets total game changer.

484
00:30:02,560 --> 00:30:05,920
Speaker 1: These sheets incredibly soft, like luxury hotel soft, made with

485
00:30:05,960 --> 00:30:11,120

486
00:30:11,120 --> 00:30:13,760
Speaker 1: bought one. She wanted to make me to make this clear.

487
00:30:14,200 --> 00:30:16,800

00:31:15,280 --> 00:31:18,640
Speaker 1: Welcome again, Clay Travis Buck Sexton Show. We are rolling

506
00:31:18,720 --> 00:31:22,720
Speaker 1: through the Friday edition of the program. We'll take a

507
00:31:22,760 --> 00:31:25,880
Speaker 1: bunch of your calls and continue to react to everything

508
00:31:25,920 --> 00:31:28,480
Speaker 1: going on in the world at large. But right now

509
00:31:28,520 --> 00:31:32,840
Speaker 1: we head up to the Pacific northwest to Portland, Oregon,

510
00:31:33,040 --> 00:31:36,080
Speaker 1: and we are joined by Nick Sorder, who was arrested

511
00:31:36,160 --> 00:31:40,000
Speaker 1: last night in the midst of all the chaos outside

512
00:31:40,040 --> 00:31:43,520
Speaker 1: the ice facility in Portland, where President Trump has said

513
00:31:43,560 --> 00:31:47,360
Speaker 1: we need to send in reinforcement, and where the leaders

514
00:31:47,440 --> 00:31:49,360
Speaker 1: of the state of Oregon have claimed there is no

515
00:31:49,480 --> 00:31:53,120
Speaker 1: need whatsoever for that to occur. So Nick, I just

516
00:31:53,160 --> 00:31:55,280
Speaker 1: want to give you the floor here. I want you

517
00:31:55,360 --> 00:31:58,320
Speaker 1: to tell everyone what happened to you. Just walk me

518
00:31:58,560 --> 00:32:02,360
Speaker 1: through and walk us through through your experiences last night.

519
00:32:04,880 --> 00:32:08,280
Speaker 2: I appreciate you guys having me here, and it's still

520
00:32:08,400 --> 00:32:11,200
Speaker 2: surreal thinking about this, about how this all went down

521
00:32:11,280 --> 00:32:13,920
Speaker 2: last night. You know, I had said a couple of

522
00:32:14,040 --> 00:32:18,920
Speaker 2: days ago on X that this city is so messed

523
00:32:19,000 --> 00:32:22,400
Speaker 2: up that if I were to defend myself, I would

524
00:32:22,400 --> 00:32:25,720
Speaker 2: be arrested while my assailant would get away, And that's

525
00:32:26,040 --> 00:32:30,680
Speaker 2: exactly what happened here. I have every right. These people

526
00:32:30,680 --> 00:32:34,560
Speaker 2: don't understand this. I have every right as a journalist

527
00:32:34,600 --> 00:32:37,120
Speaker 2: to be on the sidewalk and record what's going on

528
00:32:37,200 --> 00:32:40,000
Speaker 2: in public, no matter how much they wind, scream and

529
00:32:40,040 --> 00:32:42,479
Speaker 2: cry about it. I have every right to do so.

530
00:32:43,200 --> 00:32:46,480
Speaker 2: And these Antifa thugs, they'd been able to get away

531
00:32:46,560 --> 00:32:50,760
Speaker 2: with physical violence for so long now that they feel

532
00:32:50,760 --> 00:32:55,120
Speaker 2: empowered to harass you, to hit you, to break your equipment,

533
00:32:56,120 --> 00:32:58,800
Speaker 2: and sometimes even mace you. The amount of times I

534
00:32:58,800 --> 00:33:02,560
Speaker 2: had mace thrown in my safe this week has been crazy.

535
00:33:02,640 --> 00:33:05,800
Speaker 2: Like I'm surprised I still have visions and nothing has

536
00:33:05,840 --> 00:33:09,680
Speaker 2: ever done about any of that. Ever, it's when I

537
00:33:09,800 --> 00:33:12,920
Speaker 2: tried to defend myself after ten people gang up on

538
00:33:13,000 --> 00:33:16,520
Speaker 2: me and throw me in a flower pit, that that's

539
00:33:16,560 --> 00:33:18,760
Speaker 2: when the police decide, okay, we're going to actually do

540
00:33:18,880 --> 00:33:22,920
Speaker 2: something for once. So all these theories that we've had

541
00:33:22,960 --> 00:33:27,840
Speaker 2: about how Antifa has pretty much infiltrated the Portland Police Department,

542
00:33:27,920 --> 00:33:30,760
Speaker 2: or that Antifa has been by the balls, it's just

543
00:33:30,800 --> 00:33:33,600
Speaker 2: it was confirmed true last night. I mean, this goes

544
00:33:33,640 --> 00:33:37,040
Speaker 2: to show that the conspiracy theories quote unquote were true.

545
00:33:37,680 --> 00:33:41,280
Speaker 2: And you know, it's not going to intimidate me. It's

546
00:33:41,320 --> 00:33:43,520
Speaker 2: not going to stop me. If anything, I'm going to

547
00:33:43,600 --> 00:33:46,480
Speaker 2: be more aggressive with it because now we've got the

548
00:33:46,520 --> 00:33:50,600
Speaker 2: DJ involved, now we've got you know, national headlines about

549
00:33:51,680 --> 00:33:54,640
Speaker 2: about this. The six hours in jail was really worth

550
00:33:54,680 --> 00:33:56,200
Speaker 2: it for what I think is going to come out

551
00:33:56,680 --> 00:33:58,080
Speaker 2: of Portland, Oregon.

552
00:33:58,200 --> 00:34:00,920
Speaker 1: Now, okay, let me then a couple of things that

553
00:34:00,960 --> 00:34:05,960
Speaker 1: happened last night. You witnessed them trying to burn a

554
00:34:05,960 --> 00:34:09,359
Speaker 1: American flag last night, and you stepped in to save

555
00:34:09,440 --> 00:34:13,720
Speaker 1: the flag, and that certainly antagonized them as well.

556
00:34:13,760 --> 00:34:17,520
Speaker 5: Correct, absolutely, Yeah, that's when they started following me around.

557
00:34:18,480 --> 00:34:22,080
Speaker 5: I was talking to to somebody on the other side

558
00:34:22,080 --> 00:34:24,240
Speaker 5: of the something walked. I saw MO set the flag

559
00:34:24,280 --> 00:34:26,160
Speaker 5: on fire. So I walked over them and rammed it.

560
00:34:26,680 --> 00:34:29,880
Speaker 5: I yanked it out of his flance and took the fire,

561
00:34:30,160 --> 00:34:32,520
Speaker 5: and ietually took the flag. I still had the feeling,

562
00:34:33,360 --> 00:34:37,120
Speaker 5: and because I immediately went and uh, you know, I

563
00:34:37,200 --> 00:34:38,960
Speaker 5: this about ten I heard it for about ten minutes

564
00:34:39,239 --> 00:34:41,719
Speaker 5: and then I brought it to my car and and

565
00:34:41,760 --> 00:34:45,319
Speaker 5: put it in my car, and you know, I don't

566
00:34:45,320 --> 00:34:47,279
Speaker 5: feel bad about that. I'm sorry if somebody got their

567
00:34:47,320 --> 00:34:51,520
Speaker 5: feelings hurt that I, uh put the flames.

568
00:34:51,120 --> 00:34:52,720
Speaker 2: Out of the American flag.

569
00:34:53,520 --> 00:34:56,400
Speaker 5: I'm not gonna apologize for that, and I would do

570
00:34:56,400 --> 00:34:58,040
Speaker 5: it again in the heart beat. So I knew that

571
00:34:58,080 --> 00:35:02,280
Speaker 5: I was I was risking, you know, getting right buttons

572
00:35:02,520 --> 00:35:04,919
Speaker 5: by these people by doing that, But at the time,

573
00:35:05,000 --> 00:35:08,239
Speaker 5: I just I didn't care because it's what needed to

574
00:35:08,239 --> 00:35:11,480
Speaker 5: be done. I'm so sick of watching these people just

575
00:35:11,719 --> 00:35:15,040
Speaker 5: you desecrate our flag and crap on our country, especially

576
00:35:15,360 --> 00:35:18,480
Speaker 5: when these same people are you know, they're waiting for

577
00:35:18,640 --> 00:35:20,880
Speaker 5: him flags while burning the American flag.

578
00:35:20,920 --> 00:35:22,960
Speaker 2: I'm set up with it. I weren't most Americans.

579
00:35:23,480 --> 00:35:26,000
Speaker 1: Uh, what were you charged with? Have you officially been

580
00:35:26,080 --> 00:35:28,239
Speaker 1: charged with anything? I know you were arrested and you

581
00:35:28,280 --> 00:35:31,600
Speaker 1: were held for several hours. What charges are you facing?

582
00:35:32,520 --> 00:35:35,719
Speaker 2: Yeah, so it took them an hour to figure out

583
00:35:35,719 --> 00:35:37,480
Speaker 2: what to charge me with. They had me in the

584
00:35:37,520 --> 00:35:40,040
Speaker 2: back of the patrol car sitting on the side of

585
00:35:40,080 --> 00:35:43,440
Speaker 2: the road while they had because they basically were like, okay, yeah,

586
00:35:43,440 --> 00:35:45,759
Speaker 2: we won't we want to take him into custody, but

587
00:35:46,120 --> 00:35:48,719
Speaker 2: we don't know what for yet, So we'll figure it

588
00:35:48,719 --> 00:35:50,160
Speaker 2: out as we go. So they arrested me, put me

589
00:35:50,160 --> 00:35:52,200
Speaker 2: in the back of the car, they started driving around.

590
00:35:52,239 --> 00:35:55,480
Speaker 2: They pulled over randomly and and got out of the

591
00:35:55,520 --> 00:35:57,680
Speaker 2: car so they could talk to the lieutenant without me

592
00:35:57,840 --> 00:36:00,400
Speaker 2: hearing it. And and that's when they just they were

593
00:36:00,440 --> 00:36:05,040
Speaker 2: going to charge me with disorderly conduct. And naturally I

594
00:36:05,120 --> 00:36:08,839
Speaker 2: was like, okay, disorderly conduct, Like okay, what did I do?

595
00:36:09,080 --> 00:36:11,160
Speaker 2: Tell me what I did? And I'm like, oh, well,

596
00:36:11,200 --> 00:36:13,239
Speaker 2: we don't know that information. We just know that you're

597
00:36:13,239 --> 00:36:16,640
Speaker 2: being charged with disorderly conduct. So it took until after

598
00:36:16,680 --> 00:36:18,840
Speaker 2: I was out of jail to see what the official

599
00:36:18,920 --> 00:36:24,120
Speaker 2: narrative was. Because the disorderly conduct can mean disorderly conduct

600
00:36:24,160 --> 00:36:28,080
Speaker 2: too in Oregon can mean either blocking the road, blocking

601
00:36:28,080 --> 00:36:32,640
Speaker 2: a sidewalk, or fighting. And I'm like, okay, well, the

602
00:36:32,680 --> 00:36:37,319
Speaker 2: Antifa Paris are doing the first two, you know, constantly

603
00:36:37,440 --> 00:36:39,600
Speaker 2: on a rolling basis. They're always blocking it. It was always

604
00:36:39,600 --> 00:36:42,560
Speaker 2: blocking the sidewalk, and every other minute they're fighting each other.

605
00:36:43,040 --> 00:36:45,600
Speaker 2: None of them are ever charged with this crime, just me.

606
00:36:45,840 --> 00:36:48,040
Speaker 2: Is that a coincidence? Or was I targeted?

607
00:36:49,920 --> 00:36:52,960
Speaker 1: You were called already, I believe by the Attorney General

608
00:36:53,000 --> 00:36:55,920
Speaker 1: of the United States, Pam Bondi, What did she tell you?

609
00:36:55,960 --> 00:36:58,320
Speaker 1: What was that conversation like that?

610
00:36:58,760 --> 00:37:02,960
Speaker 2: That was pretty incredible phone call to get this morning

611
00:37:03,600 --> 00:37:07,080
Speaker 2: from the Attorney General Bondi on her cell phone calling

612
00:37:07,120 --> 00:37:11,719
Speaker 2: me and telling me that she was immediately ordering har

613
00:37:11,719 --> 00:37:15,319
Speaker 2: Meat Dilan, the Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights, to

614
00:37:15,840 --> 00:37:20,400
Speaker 2: launch a full investigation into the Portland Police Bureau to

615
00:37:20,760 --> 00:37:23,400
Speaker 2: because like this is this isn't a one off situation.

616
00:37:24,160 --> 00:37:27,839
Speaker 2: This happens frequently to It's just the difference is this

617
00:37:27,840 --> 00:37:31,640
Speaker 2: time I have a platform, right, how many other victims

618
00:37:31,760 --> 00:37:34,600
Speaker 2: of this police department are there? I would argue that

619
00:37:34,760 --> 00:37:37,920
Speaker 2: half of Portland are victims of this police department from

620
00:37:37,920 --> 00:37:41,279
Speaker 2: their lack of action, from their support for Antifa. And

621
00:37:41,520 --> 00:37:43,200
Speaker 2: so that was really good. And if you know anything

622
00:37:43,200 --> 00:37:45,959
Speaker 2: about har Meat Dylan, I'm telling you that that part

623
00:37:45,960 --> 00:37:48,719
Speaker 2: excited me the most. Putting har Meat Dylan on this

624
00:37:49,520 --> 00:37:50,919
Speaker 2: Portland isn't ready for what's coming.

625
00:37:50,960 --> 00:37:55,040
Speaker 1: I'm just saying, why do you think this has been

626
00:37:55,080 --> 00:37:57,920
Speaker 1: allowed to occur for so long? Because Portland is a

627
00:37:57,960 --> 00:38:01,680
Speaker 1: great city. I don't know where your homes, but it

628
00:38:01,719 --> 00:38:05,440
Speaker 1: is a jewel of America. If you just consider natural beauty.

629
00:38:06,320 --> 00:38:09,720
Speaker 1: It had been and long had been a thriving place.

630
00:38:09,760 --> 00:38:12,640
Speaker 1: But it was safe, right Like it might be left leaning,

631
00:38:12,840 --> 00:38:15,560
Speaker 1: but it wasn't a violent place. There were not very

632
00:38:15,640 --> 00:38:19,400
Speaker 1: many murders. The city was safe. Now that downtown is

633
00:38:19,440 --> 00:38:20,960
Speaker 1: a mess, and I know we've got a ton of

634
00:38:21,000 --> 00:38:23,880
Speaker 1: people listening to us right now on eleven ninety k

635
00:38:24,080 --> 00:38:28,120
Speaker 1: e X in the Portland area. This all kind of

636
00:38:28,160 --> 00:38:31,719
Speaker 1: went to hell starting with the George Floyd protests and

637
00:38:31,840 --> 00:38:35,799
Speaker 1: it has continued for for a long time. Uh, left

638
00:38:35,800 --> 00:38:39,680
Speaker 1: wing politicians will say antifa is not a thing. What

639
00:38:39,760 --> 00:38:42,080
Speaker 1: would you say to those people? What would you say

640
00:38:42,080 --> 00:38:44,360
Speaker 1: to anyone out there who's saying, oh, Antifa, that's not

641
00:38:44,400 --> 00:38:45,920
Speaker 1: really anything to be concerned about.

642
00:38:46,640 --> 00:38:50,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, well that's that's say Joe Biden era talking point, right,

643
00:38:50,080 --> 00:38:55,200
Speaker 2: because you know they they don't want to they at

644
00:38:55,239 --> 00:38:57,920
Speaker 2: the end of the day, these these far left Democrats

645
00:38:57,920 --> 00:39:01,240
Speaker 2: are really I mean, hell, the leaders of the Democrat

646
00:39:01,239 --> 00:39:05,600
Speaker 2: Party at this point, Johan Omar and Jasmine Krockett and AOC,

647
00:39:05,719 --> 00:39:08,400
Speaker 2: they're never going to condemn these people, right, they actually

648
00:39:08,440 --> 00:39:12,440
Speaker 2: support the message that they're doing. So the saying that

649
00:39:12,480 --> 00:39:15,359
Speaker 2: antifa is just an idea, I mean, come down here

650
00:39:15,400 --> 00:39:18,640
Speaker 2: and talk to any of them on the street. It's

651
00:39:18,680 --> 00:39:22,160
Speaker 2: an organized group. They have subgroups too, like the one

652
00:39:22,160 --> 00:39:25,480
Speaker 2: here is Rose City Antifa. It's an organized group, an

653
00:39:25,600 --> 00:39:30,160
Speaker 2: organized effort. So I mean, it's just blatantly false to

654
00:39:30,239 --> 00:39:33,120
Speaker 2: say that it's just an idea and not an organization.

655
00:39:34,040 --> 00:39:35,920
Speaker 2: I don't even know, but I mean, that's that's pretty

656
00:39:36,000 --> 00:39:38,000
Speaker 2: much the modern day Democrat Party at this point. You

657
00:39:38,000 --> 00:39:40,839
Speaker 2: just blatantly lie to your face and let me ask

658
00:39:40,880 --> 00:39:42,839
Speaker 2: you this, that you don't think anything else of it?

659
00:39:43,160 --> 00:39:45,120
Speaker 1: And yeah, no, I think that's totally true. We're talking

660
00:39:45,120 --> 00:39:49,160
Speaker 1: to Nick Sorder, who has done incredible sort of on

661
00:39:49,200 --> 00:39:53,840
Speaker 1: the ground journalism surrounding these protests in Portland. What do

662
00:39:54,000 --> 00:39:58,480
Speaker 1: you think of the police force in Portland? Because I'm

663
00:39:58,480 --> 00:40:01,759
Speaker 1: gonna be honest with you. I meet officers all over

664
00:40:01,800 --> 00:40:04,400
Speaker 1: the country and they say, hey, you're you know, we

665
00:40:04,440 --> 00:40:06,680
Speaker 1: listen to the show. We agree with you on everything.

666
00:40:07,440 --> 00:40:10,680
Speaker 1: When you got arrested, did anybody say, hey, man, I

667
00:40:10,760 --> 00:40:13,399
Speaker 1: agree with you. I got to stay undercover a little bit.

668
00:40:13,480 --> 00:40:16,920
Speaker 1: Do you think the Portland police as a group have

669
00:40:17,080 --> 00:40:20,839
Speaker 1: been basically taken over by left wing activism and that's

670
00:40:20,880 --> 00:40:23,560
Speaker 1: why they're not arresting or do you think the police

671
00:40:23,680 --> 00:40:28,080
Speaker 1: force recognizes how much a bs this is, but they're

672
00:40:28,120 --> 00:40:31,399
Speaker 1: being led from above and not allowed to actually make

673
00:40:31,440 --> 00:40:33,960
Speaker 1: the community safe. What's going on in your mind with

674
00:40:34,040 --> 00:40:37,040
Speaker 1: the culture of the Portland police as it pertains to

675
00:40:37,080 --> 00:40:38,160
Speaker 1: these protests.

676
00:40:38,840 --> 00:40:41,360
Speaker 2: I'm going to be totally honest with you, and I'm

677
00:40:41,400 --> 00:40:44,480
Speaker 2: not going to have any disrespect for the officers that

678
00:40:45,760 --> 00:40:49,359
Speaker 2: arrested me yesterday. But they had a very tough time

679
00:40:49,400 --> 00:40:51,480
Speaker 2: figuring out how to write a police report. It's like

680
00:40:51,520 --> 00:40:53,960
Speaker 2: they just never do it anymore. And that's probably true.

681
00:40:54,320 --> 00:40:54,839
Speaker 6: They are.

682
00:40:56,080 --> 00:40:59,360
Speaker 2: I was when I was there for that six hours,

683
00:40:59,400 --> 00:41:02,920
Speaker 2: three peeps came into the jail that the jail houses.

684
00:41:03,400 --> 00:41:05,760
Speaker 2: It's the only one in Portland and all of Portland,

685
00:41:06,560 --> 00:41:09,520
Speaker 2: and three people came in a major American city overnight.

686
00:41:09,520 --> 00:41:14,520
Speaker 2: They're not arresting anybody. They're not arresting anybody. And in

687
00:41:14,600 --> 00:41:18,520
Speaker 2: my there was an officer that from a neighboring jurisdiction

688
00:41:18,600 --> 00:41:21,759
Speaker 2: that was there with me yesterday. He was he had

689
00:41:21,880 --> 00:41:24,040
Speaker 2: left right before this entire thing went down, that he

690
00:41:24,120 --> 00:41:28,719
Speaker 2: was providing security for me, and he went up to

691
00:41:28,920 --> 00:41:32,120
Speaker 2: some of the officers there in Portland and said, you

692
00:41:32,200 --> 00:41:34,920
Speaker 2: guys have no shame. You should resign in disgrace. You

693
00:41:34,920 --> 00:41:37,680
Speaker 2: should not be following these BS orders, orders that you

694
00:41:37,719 --> 00:41:42,200
Speaker 2: know are BS because they're told to stand down constantly.

695
00:41:42,280 --> 00:41:45,680
Speaker 2: You have these quot unquote liaison officers that stand there.

696
00:41:45,880 --> 00:41:49,040
Speaker 2: Bill Malluchin posted a video would be being assaulted by

697
00:41:49,080 --> 00:41:51,640
Speaker 2: these anti foot thugs the other day and you can

698
00:41:51,640 --> 00:41:53,840
Speaker 2: see in the background these officers just standing there, watching

699
00:41:53,960 --> 00:41:57,320
Speaker 2: doing nothing. Because what do you think following orders?

700
00:41:57,880 --> 00:41:59,279
Speaker 1: What do you think would happened.

701
00:41:59,560 --> 00:42:02,320
Speaker 2: From a page and just follow orders like that and watch,

702
00:42:02,840 --> 00:42:04,919
Speaker 2: you know, people get beaten the street like I'm sorry,

703
00:42:04,960 --> 00:42:06,160
Speaker 2: I'm not going to follow that order.

704
00:42:06,600 --> 00:42:09,600
Speaker 1: If you have President Trump, the White House you mentioned

705
00:42:09,600 --> 00:42:13,880
Speaker 1: you talked with Pam Bondy, what should they do to

706
00:42:13,960 --> 00:42:17,160
Speaker 1: take control of Portland streets because it sounds like the

707
00:42:17,200 --> 00:42:19,319
Speaker 1: Governor's not going to allow it. It sounds like the

708
00:42:19,400 --> 00:42:21,640
Speaker 1: Mayor's not going to allow it. But I know there's

709
00:42:21,680 --> 00:42:23,560
Speaker 1: a lot of people out there that are listening to

710
00:42:23,640 --> 00:42:26,680
Speaker 1: us right now in Portland that are just saying, much

711
00:42:26,760 --> 00:42:29,200
Speaker 1: like with what happened with Seattle, oh hey, we've got

712
00:42:29,239 --> 00:42:31,680
Speaker 1: to have some sanity come in. What should the White

713
00:42:31,680 --> 00:42:35,480
Speaker 1: House do? What should the National Guard do? Nobody's getting arrested.

714
00:42:35,520 --> 00:42:36,280
Speaker 1: What should happen?

715
00:42:37,480 --> 00:42:40,200
Speaker 2: She Caroline Levitt is talking about it right now. Actually,

716
00:42:40,239 --> 00:42:43,640
Speaker 2: she is going off on Portland about how they're being

717
00:42:45,160 --> 00:42:49,960
Speaker 2: ravaged that she's speaking about the arrest and such. Honestly,

718
00:42:50,000 --> 00:42:54,200
Speaker 2: I think that the we if you talk to residents here,

719
00:42:55,000 --> 00:42:57,760
Speaker 2: this is what they want to see. They actually support

720
00:42:57,920 --> 00:43:00,920
Speaker 2: the idea of the federal government coming in and taking

721
00:43:00,960 --> 00:43:03,360
Speaker 2: more control here. They're just going to say it publicly

722
00:43:03,400 --> 00:43:05,800
Speaker 2: because they'll be you know, harassed and assaulted for it.

723
00:43:07,680 --> 00:43:15,959
Speaker 2: But okay, right, well, sorry, I described by Caroline kind.

724
00:43:15,880 --> 00:43:17,359
Speaker 1: Of a bit kind of a big deal to have

725
00:43:17,480 --> 00:43:20,440
Speaker 1: the White House or talking about your arrest while you're

726
00:43:20,480 --> 00:43:22,720
Speaker 1: being interviewed on the biggest radio show in the country.

727
00:43:22,760 --> 00:43:24,160
Speaker 1: So we certainly understand that.

728
00:43:24,239 --> 00:43:27,160
Speaker 2: Sorry I don't mean to pause there, but uh but

729
00:43:27,160 --> 00:43:29,520
Speaker 2: but yeah, but I live at Washington, d C. Right

730
00:43:29,800 --> 00:43:33,840
Speaker 2: where they act like all these people are uh, not

731
00:43:34,000 --> 00:43:37,919
Speaker 2: wanting or not liking the federal intervention that happened Theerry,

732
00:43:37,920 --> 00:43:41,319
Speaker 2: and that's just not true. Everyday residents love it. They're

733
00:43:41,360 --> 00:43:44,480
Speaker 2: excited by it, they feel safe, they can walk around again.

734
00:43:44,520 --> 00:43:46,400
Speaker 2: The people of Portland want the same thing, they just

735
00:43:46,400 --> 00:43:49,479
Speaker 2: can't say publicly or else they'll be beating the street too, Nick.

736
00:43:49,520 --> 00:43:52,600
Speaker 1: While we're talking to you, Mary Margaret Olihan, I'm sure

737
00:43:52,600 --> 00:43:55,480
Speaker 1: you're talking about this, but for there seeing this for yourself,

738
00:43:55,520 --> 00:43:58,640
Speaker 1: because I can hear Caroline the background, Mary Margaret Olihan

739
00:43:58,760 --> 00:44:02,560
Speaker 1: at the Daily Wire said, Caroline Levitt says Nick Storder's

740
00:44:02,680 --> 00:44:06,720
Speaker 1: arrest should be very should is unacceptable and everyone should

741
00:44:06,760 --> 00:44:10,160
Speaker 1: be concerned that you were arrested rather than the violent

742
00:44:10,320 --> 00:44:14,840
Speaker 1: rioters in Portland. And so we will let you continue

743
00:44:14,880 --> 00:44:17,080
Speaker 1: to watch that just we'll be in touch. Are you

744
00:44:17,080 --> 00:44:18,920
Speaker 1: going to be out in the streets again in Portland?

745
00:44:18,920 --> 00:44:20,640
Speaker 1: What's your plan now? And do you feel like you're

746
00:44:20,680 --> 00:44:21,400
Speaker 1: going to be safe?

747
00:44:22,640 --> 00:44:24,400
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I've got the I've got a lot of

748
00:44:24,400 --> 00:44:27,560
Speaker 2: patriots coming today, so it'll be it'll it'll be good,

749
00:44:27,640 --> 00:44:31,040
Speaker 2: It'll be safe. It's a lot of people flying in

750
00:44:31,200 --> 00:44:32,200
Speaker 2: just to support me today.

751
00:44:32,400 --> 00:44:35,920
Speaker 1: So well, we appreciate everything you're doing. We know it's

752
00:44:35,920 --> 00:44:37,880
Speaker 1: a crazy time. We appreciate you making the time to

00:44:40,040 --> 00:44:42,640
Speaker 1: everybody out there that can be and will be patriots.

755
00:44:42,640 --> 00:44:44,600
Speaker 1: If people are listening in Portland and they want to

756
00:44:44,640 --> 00:44:47,160
Speaker 1: support you, what should they do? What could you tell

757
00:44:47,200 --> 00:44:49,240
Speaker 1: them to do hon street.

758
00:44:49,320 --> 00:44:52,960
Speaker 2: Just uh just support me on x That's that's that's

759
00:44:53,000 --> 00:44:54,840
Speaker 2: what that's that's what we need the most is just

760
00:44:55,000 --> 00:44:59,120
Speaker 2: uh uh support independent journalists, not even just me, just

761
00:44:59,120 --> 00:45:00,600
Speaker 2: people that are there a lot of well if you

762
00:45:00,680 --> 00:45:03,920
Speaker 2: like Katie Davis Corn with the post millennial that just

763
00:45:03,960 --> 00:45:08,719
Speaker 2: got assaulted with a freaking hype on the streets to

764
00:45:08,800 --> 00:45:11,920
Speaker 2: Portland the other day, and of course nothing is done

765
00:45:11,920 --> 00:45:15,280
Speaker 2: about it, tweeted, do anything, but like support invented journalists.

766
00:45:14,880 --> 00:45:18,000
Speaker 2: That's what needs to happen because we're the ones that

767
00:45:18,040 --> 00:45:20,400
Speaker 2: are actually embedded boots on the ground, you know, risking

768
00:45:20,400 --> 00:45:24,080
Speaker 2: our own safety and we even freedom doing this stuff.

769
00:45:24,600 --> 00:45:26,920
Speaker 2: And you know, the outboting and support has been incredible

770
00:45:26,920 --> 00:45:28,680
Speaker 2: from so many people from around the world. And I

771
00:45:28,719 --> 00:45:30,319
Speaker 2: appreciate you giving me the platform today.

772
00:45:30,840 --> 00:45:33,480
Speaker 1: Thank you for coming on with us. And stay safe.

773
00:45:33,520 --> 00:45:35,960
Speaker 1: That is Nick sorder. Encourage you guys. You can go

774
00:45:36,000 --> 00:45:38,319
Speaker 1: follow and we'll share some of his videos and some

775
00:45:38,440 --> 00:45:40,799
Speaker 1: of the stories. But again, he was arrested last night

776
00:45:40,920 --> 00:45:47,280
Speaker 1: at the Antifa attacked event, basically the protest that Antifa

777
00:45:47,320 --> 00:45:49,920
Speaker 1: is putting on surrounding Ice and being talked about right

778
00:45:49,960 --> 00:45:53,360
Speaker 1: now in the White House as President Trump prepares, I

779
00:45:53,400 --> 00:45:55,759
Speaker 1: think to marshal a great deal of resources. So we

780
00:45:55,800 --> 00:45:58,520
Speaker 1: will talk more about this and continue to break it

781
00:45:58,520 --> 00:46:01,040
Speaker 1: down for you. In the meantime. If you own gold,

782
00:46:01,080 --> 00:46:03,640
Speaker 1: you're feeling pretty good this year. Your investment, no matter

783
00:46:03,680 --> 00:46:06,799
Speaker 1: of the size, up around forty percent year today. That's

784
00:46:06,840 --> 00:46:10,160
Speaker 1: solid appreciation, a sign of our times. When there's unrest

785
00:46:10,200 --> 00:46:13,200
Speaker 1: in the world, when there's uncertainty in the market, savvy

786
00:46:13,239 --> 00:46:17,759
Speaker 1: investors turn to gold and they have. For centuries, gold

787
00:46:17,840 --> 00:46:20,920
Speaker 1: has held value. And if you want gold to be

788
00:46:20,960 --> 00:46:24,160

Speaker 1: Welcome back in Clay, Travis Buck Sexton Show. Appreciate all

808
00:47:29,520 --> 00:47:33,120
Speaker 1: of you. While we were just talking with Nick Sorter

809
00:47:34,160 --> 00:47:37,719
Speaker 1: about his arrest, the White House was talking about Nick

810
00:47:37,800 --> 00:47:40,640
Speaker 1: Sorder's arrest. Here's our friend Caroline Levitt at the White

811
00:47:40,680 --> 00:47:44,720
Speaker 1: House podium discussing that just moments ago, cut thirty one.

812
00:47:44,960 --> 00:47:48,279
Speaker 7: Just last night we saw an extremely troubling incident where

813
00:47:48,320 --> 00:47:52,160
Speaker 7: conservative journalist Nick Sorder was captured on video being taken

814
00:47:52,160 --> 00:47:55,560
Speaker 7: into custody by the Portland police after he was ambushed

815
00:47:55,560 --> 00:47:58,960
Speaker 7: by Antifa and was defending himself from these assaults. But

816
00:47:59,040 --> 00:48:02,760
Speaker 7: instead of arresting these violent mob members nights after nights

817
00:48:02,800 --> 00:48:06,280
Speaker 7: after night who are ravaging this community, the police arrested

818
00:48:06,320 --> 00:48:08,920
Speaker 7: a journalist who is there trying to document the chaos.

819
00:48:08,960 --> 00:48:11,520
Speaker 7: And everyone in this room should be extremely concerned about that.

820
00:48:11,640 --> 00:48:14,360
Speaker 7: The Department of Justice spoke with that journalist this morning

821
00:48:14,400 --> 00:48:17,560
Speaker 7: and they will be launching a full investigation into his arrest.

822
00:48:17,800 --> 00:48:20,440
Speaker 7: This incident is part of a troubling trend in Portland

823
00:48:20,480 --> 00:48:23,120
Speaker 7: where left wing mobs believe they get to decide who

824
00:48:23,160 --> 00:48:25,759
Speaker 7: can visit and live in their city. It is not

825
00:48:25,880 --> 00:48:28,240
Speaker 7: their city, it is the American people's city. And President

826
00:48:28,280 --> 00:48:29,520
Speaker 7: Trump is going to restore that.

827
00:48:29,960 --> 00:48:30,839
Speaker 2: I just spoke with the.

828
00:48:30,800 --> 00:48:33,279
Speaker 7: President about this, and he has directed his team here

829
00:48:33,320 --> 00:48:35,920
Speaker 7: at the White House to begin reviewing aid that can

830
00:48:35,960 --> 00:48:39,520
Speaker 7: potentially be cut in Portland. We will not fund states

831
00:48:39,520 --> 00:48:40,600
Speaker 7: that allow anarchy.

832
00:48:42,040 --> 00:48:48,600
Speaker 1: Well, so Portland is in the FO stage of FAFO

833
00:48:49,560 --> 00:48:52,319
Speaker 1: and we will see what ends up happening. We want

834
00:48:52,400 --> 00:48:54,759
Speaker 1: Nick to stay safe, and so I know many of

835
00:48:54,760 --> 00:48:58,480
Speaker 1: you in the Portland area and beyond, but certainly in Portland,

836
00:48:58,520 --> 00:49:00,520
Speaker 1: appreciate the reporting that he's doing. But we got to

837
00:49:00,560 --> 00:49:03,200
Speaker 1: arrest all these all these kooks, all these crazy people.

838
00:49:03,200 --> 00:49:07,120
Speaker 1: They've been doing this in Portland for five years now,

839
00:49:07,480 --> 00:49:12,000
Speaker 1: five years unbelievable. Uh Sabers Company. We trust to provide

840
00:49:12,040 --> 00:49:14,840
Speaker 1: our families with the best non lethal self protection tools

841
00:49:14,840 --> 00:49:17,360
Speaker 1: out there. We've got them in my home, bucking carry

842
00:49:17,400 --> 00:49:19,640
Speaker 1: have them in their home. If you haven't done so yet,

843
00:49:19,719 --> 00:49:23,440
Speaker 1: set yourself up with Sabers self protection tools. Saber is

00:49:23,480 --> 00:49:27,080
Speaker 1: spelled s A b R E. Website, saberradio dot com.

845
00:49:27,640 --> 00:49:31,200
Speaker 1: We have got them all throughout the Travis household, maybe

846
00:49:31,239 --> 00:49:35,160
Speaker 1: partly because we've got knucklehead teenagers in this house. Do

847
00:49:35,239 --> 00:49:39,600
Speaker 1: you have knucklehead teenagers? Do you have knucklehead grandsons, granddaughters

848
00:49:39,640 --> 00:49:42,200
Speaker 1: coming in at all hours of the night. You don't

849
00:49:42,200 --> 00:49:43,880
Speaker 1: know when they're gonna come in, when the alarm is

850
00:49:43,920 --> 00:49:46,200
Speaker 1: gonna go off. But maybe you want to make sure

851
00:49:46,239 --> 00:49:49,040
Speaker 1: you're safe, but you don't want to use lethal protection.

852
00:49:49,480 --> 00:49:52,320
Speaker 1: That's what sabers all about. They've got a projectile pepper

853
00:49:52,440 --> 00:49:55,440
Speaker 1: gel launcher. It's shaped like a pistol or a rifle,

854
00:49:55,480 --> 00:49:59,279
Speaker 1: but it's non lethal. They've also got pepper sprays if

855
00:49:59,320 --> 00:50:02,360
Speaker 1: your kids got late night hours going off to school

856
00:50:02,520 --> 00:50:06,160

859
00:50:13,360 --> 00:50:17,800
Speaker 1: in Clay Travis buck Sexton Show joined now by Eric Nesbitt.

860
00:50:17,840 --> 00:50:21,360
Speaker 1: He is a state senator in Michigan. Running for the

861
00:50:21,440 --> 00:50:24,640
Speaker 1: governor's office. Up there, we talked about how Michigan is

862
00:50:24,719 --> 00:50:27,960
Speaker 1: probably the most important state. I honestly mean this if

863
00:50:28,000 --> 00:50:31,120
Speaker 1: you look at twenty twenty six and twenty twenty eight

864
00:50:31,600 --> 00:50:35,880
Speaker 1: and the amount of serious offices that are up for

865
00:50:36,160 --> 00:50:39,320
Speaker 1: grabs as there will be no incumbent governors. The awful

866
00:50:39,680 --> 00:50:42,920
Speaker 1: Gretchen Whitmer will hop on her broomstick and right off

867
00:50:42,920 --> 00:50:46,360
Speaker 1: into the night sky. Eric nesbit with us. Now, what

868
00:50:46,440 --> 00:50:48,640
Speaker 1: do you see on the ground. We talked about this

869
00:50:48,880 --> 00:50:51,320
Speaker 1: yesterday as well. What do you see on the ground

870
00:50:51,480 --> 00:50:55,960
Speaker 1: in Michigan? And are you optimistic that Michigan can become

871
00:50:56,520 --> 00:50:58,680
Speaker 1: much more of a red state in the years ahead.

872
00:51:00,080 --> 00:51:02,560
Speaker 6: Thanks for having me on, and I'll tell you one thing.

873
00:51:02,680 --> 00:51:07,200
Speaker 6: Michigan Republicans are excited after last year President Trump winning

874
00:51:07,239 --> 00:51:11,920
Speaker 6: the state again and drawing out a record setting number

875
00:51:11,920 --> 00:51:14,480
Speaker 6: of people as we continue to grow the party here

876
00:51:14,520 --> 00:51:18,160
Speaker 6: in Michigan, because we've seen what it means under Governor

877
00:51:18,160 --> 00:51:21,280
Speaker 6: Whitmer and the Democrats here in Michigan that it's tougher

878
00:51:21,320 --> 00:51:23,280
Speaker 6: to make it in Michigan. It's tougher to do business

879
00:51:23,320 --> 00:51:25,839
Speaker 6: in Michigan. Three out of four fourth graders can't read

880
00:51:25,880 --> 00:51:28,279
Speaker 6: at grade level. So it's tougher for our kids to

881
00:51:28,400 --> 00:51:32,239
Speaker 6: learn in Michigan, and our job creators, it's tough for them.

882
00:51:32,280 --> 00:51:35,880
Speaker 6: With the highest energy costs, highest insurance costs in the Midwest,

883
00:51:36,120 --> 00:51:40,000
Speaker 6: it's just tougher to expand and invest. And with Governor

884
00:51:40,040 --> 00:51:44,480
Speaker 6: Whitmer term limited out, with Gary Peters leaving and fleeing

885
00:51:44,800 --> 00:51:49,200
Speaker 6: the US Senate, with three competitive congressional seats, with the

886
00:51:49,280 --> 00:51:52,919
Speaker 6: state House, with President Trump's leadership, last year, we won

887
00:51:53,000 --> 00:51:55,480
Speaker 6: back the State House in Michigan and we ended a

888
00:51:55,560 --> 00:51:59,640
Speaker 6: Democrat trifecta. I feel positive on the ground and motivated

889
00:52:00,040 --> 00:52:05,640
Speaker 6: as we continue to grow our campaign and activate folks

890
00:52:05,680 --> 00:52:07,959
Speaker 6: on the ground to turn out. I was in Monominee

891
00:52:08,280 --> 00:52:11,120
Speaker 6: last Saturday, which is a small community I think about

892
00:52:11,120 --> 00:52:13,879
Speaker 6: twenty thousand people. Actually, Tudor Dixon was up there as

893
00:52:13,920 --> 00:52:15,760
Speaker 6: one of the speakers. Her and I were the keynote

894
00:52:15,800 --> 00:52:20,200
Speaker 6: speakers there, and there was a sold out crowd, over

895
00:52:20,239 --> 00:52:22,719
Speaker 6: one hundred and thirty people in this small county, and

896
00:52:22,760 --> 00:52:24,960
Speaker 6: they already had sixty tickets for Lincoln they sold for

897
00:52:25,040 --> 00:52:27,720
Speaker 6: next years. There's a lot of energy that's around there,

898
00:52:27,960 --> 00:52:30,719
Speaker 6: and we're continuing to see that around the state.

899
00:52:31,480 --> 00:52:35,920
Speaker 1: Talking to Eric Nesbitt, I'm curious when you went to Hillsdale,

900
00:52:35,960 --> 00:52:38,960
Speaker 1: and we love Hillsdale College here, doctor Larry Arn has

901
00:52:39,000 --> 00:52:43,359
Speaker 1: built a powerhouse. What was that experience like for you?

902
00:52:43,400 --> 00:52:46,279
Speaker 1: And I know you have young kids, as do I.

903
00:52:46,360 --> 00:52:49,920
Speaker 1: You've got three. As you start to look forward in

904
00:52:49,920 --> 00:52:53,400
Speaker 1: the larger educational environment, how impactful do you think Hillsdale

905
00:52:53,719 --> 00:52:56,080
Speaker 1: is becoming not only in the state of Michigan where

906
00:52:56,080 --> 00:52:58,239
Speaker 1: you are, and obviously as your alma mater has a

907
00:52:58,280 --> 00:53:01,520
Speaker 1: lot of connection to it cultural force across the nation.

908
00:53:01,640 --> 00:53:05,279
Speaker 6: Now, yeah, doctor Harn has been a great mentor at

909
00:53:05,360 --> 00:53:11,239
Speaker 6: me over the years. He's continues to show leadership and

910
00:53:11,400 --> 00:53:13,799
Speaker 6: light and darkness. You know where there's a lot of

911
00:53:13,840 --> 00:53:16,800
Speaker 6: darkness and higher education and you saw that with Charlie

912
00:53:16,880 --> 00:53:20,359
Speaker 6: Kirk going into college campuses. He was at Michigan State

913
00:53:20,480 --> 00:53:23,320
Speaker 6: University this spring. I have a plenty of staff that

914
00:53:23,400 --> 00:53:25,920
Speaker 6: used to work for Turning Point or Bountier on campuses.

915
00:53:26,239 --> 00:53:29,680
Speaker 6: But you see how the left wing tries to shut

916
00:53:29,719 --> 00:53:34,240
Speaker 6: down debate and dissent and try to indoctrinate our kids

917
00:53:35,080 --> 00:53:39,680
Speaker 6: in public universities and private colleges. And God blessed Charlie

918
00:53:39,719 --> 00:53:41,879
Speaker 6: for taking it on and they tried to cancel them

919
00:53:42,160 --> 00:53:44,880
Speaker 6: and silence them. An Unfortunately, a few weeks ago an

920
00:53:44,920 --> 00:53:49,640
Speaker 6: assassin's bullet took them out. But I'm like a lot

921
00:53:49,680 --> 00:53:55,480
Speaker 6: of these schools, Hillsdale was one that Charlie Kirk actually

922
00:53:55,600 --> 00:53:59,880
Speaker 6: believed in, and he knew that they taught the basic

923
00:54:00,200 --> 00:54:04,960
Speaker 6: foundations of American government, of why our rights actually come

924
00:54:05,000 --> 00:54:09,799
Speaker 6: from a creator, our God, not from government, where Democrats

925
00:54:09,800 --> 00:54:13,240
Speaker 6: and the left wing progressives believe our rights come from government.

926
00:54:13,400 --> 00:54:15,520
Speaker 6: And we saw that during the COVID lockdowns. It was

927
00:54:15,560 --> 00:54:20,960
Speaker 6: disgusting and wrong the way Governor Whitmer shut down our schools,

928
00:54:21,120 --> 00:54:24,080
Speaker 6: shut down our businesses. And this is part of the reason.

929
00:54:23,840 --> 00:54:24,560
Speaker 2: Why I'm running.

930
00:54:25,719 --> 00:54:28,680
Speaker 6: My wife and I we went to the OB's office.

931
00:54:28,680 --> 00:54:31,200
Speaker 6: We were expecting our second kid, and for me, it

932
00:54:31,239 --> 00:54:34,440
Speaker 6: began with COVID. My wife was pregnant in twenty twenty

933
00:54:34,680 --> 00:54:38,520
Speaker 6: and I wasn't even allowed to attend an OB's appointment

934
00:54:38,880 --> 00:54:41,520
Speaker 6: with her. And I'll never forget the text message she

935
00:54:41,640 --> 00:54:43,880
Speaker 6: sent when we had when we found out.

936
00:54:43,800 --> 00:54:44,879
Speaker 2: We had a miscarriage.

937
00:54:45,400 --> 00:54:48,040
Speaker 6: As I sat in the parking lot when she informed

938
00:54:48,040 --> 00:54:50,680
Speaker 6: me that she had a miscarriage, she was experienced the

939
00:54:50,719 --> 00:54:54,080
Speaker 6: worst thing a parent can go through losing a child,

940
00:54:54,640 --> 00:54:57,359
Speaker 6: and the Democrats said, I could not be there and

941
00:54:57,440 --> 00:55:00,839
Speaker 6: comfort her as her husband is the And I'll never

942
00:55:00,840 --> 00:55:03,719
Speaker 6: forgive Gretchen Whitwor for that she did that to our

943
00:55:03,760 --> 00:55:07,840
Speaker 6: family and we cannot let that happen ever again, never again.

944
00:55:08,320 --> 00:55:11,280
Speaker 6: And that's why I'm fighting, and that's why we need

945
00:55:11,680 --> 00:55:14,319
Speaker 6: to understand. It's not just about COVID. People can't make

946
00:55:14,360 --> 00:55:17,600
Speaker 6: it in Michigan anymore, and our businesses it's tougher for them.

947
00:55:17,920 --> 00:55:20,160
Speaker 6: They cannot make it in Michigan. Our farmers cannot make

948
00:55:20,200 --> 00:55:22,280
Speaker 6: it in Michigan, Our families cannot make it a Michigan

949
00:55:22,600 --> 00:55:28,960
Speaker 6: and the next generation. Unfortunately, our largest export used to

950
00:55:28,960 --> 00:55:31,399
Speaker 6: be cars, and now it's our young people that needs

951
00:55:31,400 --> 00:55:31,880
Speaker 6: to stop.

952
00:55:32,400 --> 00:55:34,840
Speaker 1: We're talking to Eric Nasabit, running for governor in Michigan.

953
00:55:34,920 --> 00:55:37,759
Speaker 1: That's an awful story about your wife and what she

954
00:55:37,840 --> 00:55:43,080
Speaker 1: had to discover about the baby while she was by herself. Unfortunately,

955
00:55:43,080 --> 00:55:45,200
Speaker 1: there's tons of people out there who weren't able, who

956
00:55:45,239 --> 00:55:49,520
Speaker 1: had similar emotionally heartrending experiences, weren't able to say goodbye

957
00:55:49,600 --> 00:55:52,080
Speaker 1: to mom or dad, or grandma or grandpa, or people

958
00:55:52,160 --> 00:55:56,040
Speaker 1: of their families and friends because they were restricted from

959
00:55:56,040 --> 00:55:59,680
Speaker 1: being able to enter under these broken COVID policies. Gretchen

960
00:55:59,880 --> 00:56:02,239
Speaker 1: actually thinks she did a good job with COVID, and

961
00:56:02,280 --> 00:56:04,640
Speaker 1: she may well run for President of the United States

962
00:56:04,680 --> 00:56:07,520
Speaker 1: based partly on what she considers to be her great

963
00:56:07,600 --> 00:56:12,280
Speaker 1: leadership of Michigan. What happens next with her and how

964
00:56:12,320 --> 00:56:15,120
Speaker 1: does Michigan as the front lines of a fifty to

965
00:56:15,160 --> 00:56:18,120
Speaker 1: fifty country, help to determine not only the future of

966
00:56:18,200 --> 00:56:20,799
Speaker 1: Gretchen Whitner, but the nation as well well.

967
00:56:20,840 --> 00:56:23,720
Speaker 6: You got to have strong leadership, just the way Florida

968
00:56:23,880 --> 00:56:26,240
Speaker 6: was a fifty to fifty state ten years ago before

969
00:56:26,239 --> 00:56:29,920
Speaker 6: President Trump came on the scene. He's effectively worked it

970
00:56:30,000 --> 00:56:32,880
Speaker 6: to make it a lot more Republican, and you're seeing

971
00:56:32,880 --> 00:56:35,920
Speaker 6: that in Michigan. We I think we're becoming more and

972
00:56:35,960 --> 00:56:40,360
Speaker 6: more Republican because of President Trump's leadership and working to

973
00:56:40,400 --> 00:56:43,280
Speaker 6: bring out working class voters. We're the party of small

974
00:56:43,320 --> 00:56:47,680
Speaker 6: business owners, farmers, workers, seniors vote, you know, folks that

975
00:56:47,760 --> 00:56:50,560
Speaker 6: actually trust parents, and I believe this is our last

976
00:56:50,640 --> 00:56:52,880
Speaker 6: chance to save the state of Michigan. That's why I'm

977
00:56:52,960 --> 00:56:55,520
Speaker 6: running for governor is because I want everyone to be

978
00:56:55,560 --> 00:56:59,160
Speaker 6: able to make it in Michigan, and if we want

979
00:56:59,200 --> 00:57:01,440
Speaker 6: people to be able to make it in Michigan, we

980
00:57:01,560 --> 00:57:06,279
Speaker 6: got to turn the chapter from the Biden Whitmer administration

981
00:57:06,480 --> 00:57:09,360
Speaker 6: to the Trump Nesband administration. We have to make Michigan

982
00:57:09,440 --> 00:57:13,280
Speaker 6: work for working families, for our seniors, for our small

983
00:57:13,320 --> 00:57:16,919
Speaker 6: business owners, and our farmers. And this is what we're

984
00:57:16,960 --> 00:57:20,920
Speaker 6: building up and we're getting some great responses across the state.

985
00:57:21,680 --> 00:57:23,960
Speaker 1: Would you have ever believe you have two daughters, Would

986
00:57:24,000 --> 00:57:26,920
Speaker 1: you ever believe that it would become Democrat Party orthodoxy,

987
00:57:26,960 --> 00:57:28,880
Speaker 1: including in the state of Michigan where there have been

988
00:57:28,880 --> 00:57:33,000
Speaker 1: many controversies relating to this about men competing in women's

989
00:57:33,000 --> 00:57:35,600
Speaker 1: sports being something that needs to be protected by the

990
00:57:35,600 --> 00:57:36,400
Speaker 1: state of Michigan.

991
00:57:37,480 --> 00:57:39,840
Speaker 6: And I have two younger daughters, a six year old

992
00:57:40,120 --> 00:57:42,760
Speaker 6: and a six month old. That's just blessed on both

993
00:57:42,800 --> 00:57:45,040
Speaker 6: of them. And I couldn't imagine ten years ago that

994
00:57:45,160 --> 00:57:51,320
Speaker 6: anybody would be defending having a man shower in a

995
00:57:51,360 --> 00:57:56,600
Speaker 6: gym with my daughter, or having them play on girls' sports,

996
00:57:57,240 --> 00:58:00,720
Speaker 6: or having them learn all the different pronouns instead of

997
00:58:00,800 --> 00:58:04,200
Speaker 6: twenty six pronouns being taught in schools. When you get

998
00:58:04,200 --> 00:58:07,160
Speaker 6: back to the twenty six letters of the alphabet I had.

999
00:58:07,520 --> 00:58:09,400
Speaker 6: I was out in Wayne County a few weeks ago

1000
00:58:10,360 --> 00:58:12,720
Speaker 6: at a fundraiser mind and a parent came up to

1001
00:58:12,760 --> 00:58:16,280
Speaker 6: me and said that they have a twelve year old

1002
00:58:16,360 --> 00:58:18,880
Speaker 6: son going to a public school.

1003
00:58:20,360 --> 00:58:22,080
Speaker 2: Sixth grade and.

1004
00:58:22,120 --> 00:58:25,880
Speaker 6: He didn't use the they them pronoun for another boy.

1005
00:58:25,960 --> 00:58:28,920
Speaker 6: He was sent to the principal's office. This is not

1006
00:58:29,000 --> 00:58:32,800
Speaker 6: the america you and I grew up. And God blessed

1007
00:58:32,840 --> 00:58:35,480
Speaker 6: that twelve year old kid. And when he went down

1008
00:58:35,480 --> 00:58:39,200
Speaker 6: to the principal's office, he says, well, with President Trump's orders,

1009
00:58:39,520 --> 00:58:43,120
Speaker 6: I thought we could actually tell what people are by

1010
00:58:43,160 --> 00:58:46,320
Speaker 6: the secs that they were born as.

1011
00:58:47,560 --> 00:58:50,320
Speaker 1: I mean, Wayne County is Detroit for people who don't know.

1012
00:58:51,280 --> 00:58:54,360
Speaker 1: And yeah, congrats to that twelve year old boy for

1013
00:58:54,480 --> 00:59:00,000
Speaker 1: actually recognizing biological reality, something that virtually every Democrat elects

1014
00:59:00,040 --> 00:59:03,560
Speaker 1: that official nationwide refuses to do so. Eric Nasbit, how

1015
00:59:03,560 --> 00:59:05,640
Speaker 1: can people find your website? Where should they go if

1016
00:59:05,680 --> 00:59:07,160
Speaker 1: they want to know more about the campaign?

1017
00:59:07,800 --> 00:59:10,360
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's a NUSBEIT for governor. Dot com is the

1018
00:59:11,360 --> 00:59:16,000
Speaker 6: campaign address. I'm on Twitter and Facebook and Instagram all

1019
00:59:16,080 --> 00:59:18,200
Speaker 6: that others. But it's Eric with an a middle of

1020
00:59:18,240 --> 00:59:20,680
Speaker 6: five kids all started with a's and by the time

1021
00:59:20,760 --> 00:59:22,240
Speaker 6: Mom got to me, it was either going to be

1022
00:59:22,760 --> 00:59:25,320
Speaker 6: Eric or Erica with an A and boy, I'm glad

1023
00:59:25,360 --> 00:59:27,600
Speaker 6: she with Eric, I would have grown up a little tougher.

1024
00:59:27,640 --> 00:59:32,280
Speaker 6: I it was Erica, but yeah, Eric nesbitt and just

1025
00:59:32,480 --> 00:59:34,520
Speaker 6: farm boy. And that needs to We need to shake

1026
00:59:34,560 --> 00:59:37,320
Speaker 6: up the status quar and Lansing. Turn the chapter from

1027
00:59:37,840 --> 00:59:42,720
Speaker 6: Gretchen Whitmer away from Biden, and we need to bring

1028
00:59:42,880 --> 00:59:46,280
Speaker 6: an ally at President Trump into that. That Governor's office

1029
00:59:46,440 --> 00:59:49,600
Speaker 6: in Lead, Michigan is President Trump's working to make things

1030
00:59:49,640 --> 00:59:51,920
Speaker 6: in the USA. We need to make sure that it's

1031
00:59:51,920 --> 00:59:54,480
Speaker 6: easier to make things here in Michigan awesome.

1032
00:59:54,520 --> 00:59:57,080
Speaker 1: I appreciate the time and have a great weekend, and

1033
00:59:57,120 --> 00:59:58,960
Speaker 1: good luck with that six month old. I hope she

1034
00:59:59,080 --> 01:00:02,760
Speaker 1: sleep and tell your wife we've got her back here

1035
01:00:03,040 --> 01:00:04,920
Speaker 1: as a community. That's a tough story you had to

1036
01:00:04,960 --> 01:00:06,560
Speaker 1: go through in twenty twenty, but I'm glad you have

1037
01:00:06,600 --> 01:00:07,280
Speaker 1: a new baby girl.

1038
01:00:07,960 --> 01:00:10,080
Speaker 6: Hey Clay, thank you so much and God bless you.

1039
01:00:10,160 --> 01:00:13,280
Speaker 6: Thanks for covering the issues that matter and bringing it

1040
01:00:13,320 --> 01:00:17,360
Speaker 6: to the people. And fortunately she started sleeping right after

1041
01:00:17,440 --> 01:00:19,640
Speaker 6: Mother's Day and actually Mother's Day was the first full

1042
01:00:19,720 --> 01:00:21,120
Speaker 6: night to the night that was a big.

1043
01:00:20,960 --> 01:00:23,320
Speaker 1: Gift, no doubt. It's one of the best days out there.

1044

Speaker 1: We appreciate you. That's Eric Nesbit. When we come back,

1045

01:00:30,400 --> 01:00:32,960
Speaker 1: can react to everything as we roll you into the weekend.

1048
01:00:33,040 --> 01:00:35,960
Speaker 1: I want to say, it's fall and if you're walking

1049
01:00:35,960 --> 01:00:38,160
Speaker 1: around outside, no matter where you are, you may start

1050
01:00:38,160 --> 01:00:40,760
Speaker 1: to feel a little bit of a brisk coolness in

1051
01:00:40,800 --> 01:00:42,440
Speaker 1: the morning. I felt like that this morning. I was

1052
01:00:42,480 --> 01:00:45,840
Speaker 1: walking my fifth grader to school and I thought to myself, Ah,

1053
01:00:45,880 --> 01:00:47,520
Speaker 1: it does feel a little bit like fall now that

1054
01:00:47,520 --> 01:00:51,200
Speaker 1: we're into October, and even a few tree leaves where

1055
01:00:51,240 --> 01:00:52,800
Speaker 1: I am starting to show a little bit of an

1056
01:00:52,800 --> 01:00:55,320
Speaker 1: impact of the looming fall depending on where you are.

1057
