1 00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:01,200 Speaker 1: Welcome in everybody. 2 00:00:01,200 --> 00:00:06,320 Speaker 2: Tuesday edition of Clay and Buck International Edition. In fact, 3 00:00:06,400 --> 00:00:10,160 Speaker 2: Clay over in Israel, I'm still here in the good 4 00:00:10,160 --> 00:00:12,600 Speaker 2: old us of A. He'll tell us about what he 5 00:00:12,640 --> 00:00:15,640 Speaker 2: has seen over there, what's going on. Fascinating time to 6 00:00:15,720 --> 00:00:21,800 Speaker 2: be in the Near East, where is right now going 7 00:00:21,840 --> 00:00:23,720 Speaker 2: through a momentous change. 8 00:00:23,800 --> 00:00:25,759 Speaker 1: Not only has there been. 9 00:00:25,640 --> 00:00:30,160 Speaker 2: The fighting between Israel and its enemies terrorist groups Hamas 10 00:00:30,200 --> 00:00:33,280 Speaker 2: has Belah and their backers in Iran over the last year, 11 00:00:33,320 --> 00:00:35,520 Speaker 2: well much longer than that, but at a heightened state. 12 00:00:35,520 --> 00:00:38,360 Speaker 2: Over the last year, you have the fall of the 13 00:00:38,400 --> 00:00:42,360 Speaker 2: House of Assad in Syria, Clay and I'll talk to 14 00:00:42,360 --> 00:00:45,879 Speaker 2: you a bit about that. There is some jubilation in 15 00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:49,960 Speaker 2: the streets, a lot of people firing. Celebratory gunfire is 16 00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:51,760 Speaker 2: a thing in the Middle East. You don't see it 17 00:00:51,800 --> 00:00:54,840 Speaker 2: that many other places because those bullets do come down. 18 00:00:54,880 --> 00:00:57,360 Speaker 2: It is actually quite dangerous and stupid and people do 19 00:00:57,480 --> 00:01:00,600 Speaker 2: die from this. But anyway, a lot of celebratory gunfire, 20 00:01:00,680 --> 00:01:02,640 Speaker 2: that's what they call it in the news going on 21 00:01:02,680 --> 00:01:06,280 Speaker 2: in Syria. Despite the fact that yes Asada is gone, 22 00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:09,759 Speaker 2: he was a bad man. The person who is currently 23 00:01:09,959 --> 00:01:12,720 Speaker 2: the de facto head of the state of Syria was 24 00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:16,640 Speaker 2: formerly a member of al Qaida, so that's probably not 25 00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:19,000 Speaker 2: looking so great for the long term. I know they're 26 00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:22,480 Speaker 2: saying some things now to calm the international community down. Well, 27 00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:24,320 Speaker 2: we'll get into this in a little bit. But Clay 28 00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:27,120 Speaker 2: is over there right now. Not saying this is a 29 00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:30,320 Speaker 2: cause and effect moment. But Clay goes to the region 30 00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:35,080 Speaker 2: and one of the worst tyrants of the last fifty 31 00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:40,720 Speaker 2: years happens to just fall suddenly and his massive car 32 00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:43,840 Speaker 2: collection of supercars and antique cars is exposed as well. 33 00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:47,640 Speaker 2: Which is all these guys man Middle Eastern tyrants all 34 00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:53,000 Speaker 2: about the repression and bugattis. It's somehow this always goes 35 00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:55,200 Speaker 2: hand in hand. We'll desist some pretty. 36 00:01:54,880 --> 00:02:00,480 Speaker 3: Girls, oftentimes in religiously restrictive countries as well. Amazing the 37 00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:03,600 Speaker 3: dictator never has one wife for fifty years. Kind of 38 00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:05,040 Speaker 3: interesting how that works too. 39 00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:07,840 Speaker 2: It is funny how that works out, isn't it something 40 00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:10,640 Speaker 2: that never is a big surprise. We also have the 41 00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:14,239 Speaker 2: aftermath of two things that have occurred yesterday and now 42 00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:17,040 Speaker 2: the media narrative formation around it. 43 00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:20,040 Speaker 1: The Daniel Penny verdict. We were very. 44 00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:22,560 Speaker 2: Pleased to see the jury came to what we both 45 00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:25,799 Speaker 2: believe here is absolutely the right decision, which was a 46 00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:30,200 Speaker 2: not guilty verdict. And after the judge dismissed the top 47 00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:35,320 Speaker 2: count and we also had the arrest of this guy, Luigi, 48 00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:37,320 Speaker 2: And there have been a lot of memes about this 49 00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:44,000 Speaker 2: Luigi MANGIONI who it seems. I know it is alleged, 50 00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:46,120 Speaker 2: but I mean they found the guy with the weapon. 51 00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:48,560 Speaker 2: I mean this is Colonel Mustard with the candlestick in 52 00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:51,359 Speaker 2: the solarium on video. Basically, I mean this is very 53 00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:56,040 Speaker 2: much looking like they have the guy. But he allegedly 54 00:02:56,160 --> 00:03:01,360 Speaker 2: killed the United Healthcare CEO. And there's a lot of 55 00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:03,400 Speaker 2: talk about this online. We'll get into some of it. 56 00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:07,280 Speaker 2: Also more on the the big the big Trump picks 57 00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:10,280 Speaker 2: for the cabinet right now, the ones that are getting attention, 58 00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:15,200 Speaker 2: particularly Pete Hegseeth Cash Patel, RFK Junior. 59 00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:19,079 Speaker 1: He may get rid of your beloved die in. 60 00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:21,240 Speaker 2: Your mountain dew, mister Clay, you aware of this. I 61 00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:24,560 Speaker 2: think yellow number whatever it is, maybe a thing of 62 00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:27,320 Speaker 2: the past. Your mountain dew might become clear. Is clear 63 00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:30,079 Speaker 2: mountain dew not as exciting to you? 64 00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:35,360 Speaker 4: It certainly is not. That's just sprite with less sugar. 65 00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:40,880 Speaker 3: So I've been trying to give up sodas and in 66 00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:45,920 Speaker 3: favor of coffee and Crockett Coffee in particular. I think 67 00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:50,600 Speaker 3: that's the right decision from a healthcare perspective. But yeah, 68 00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:54,000 Speaker 3: this is gonna be intriguing to see. I actually will 69 00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:56,800 Speaker 3: talk about this more. I'm actually feeling really good about 70 00:03:56,800 --> 00:04:00,360 Speaker 3: every one of Trump's nominees getting through at this point. 71 00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:02,800 Speaker 3: I think everybody's kind of getting in line. The heag 72 00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:06,760 Speaker 3: Set momentum is very good, and I'm not even seeing 73 00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:10,840 Speaker 3: really much organized opposition since the heag Set stuff has started. 74 00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:12,480 Speaker 3: To you and I talked about as soon as they 75 00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:16,120 Speaker 3: moved from oh, he's guilty of sexual assault to he 76 00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:19,359 Speaker 3: occasionally drinks a beer when he's on television, maybe a 77 00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:21,800 Speaker 3: sign that they weren't having a lot of success in 78 00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:22,720 Speaker 3: tearing him down. 79 00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:26,120 Speaker 2: Yes, and the troops that have come forward, including those 80 00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:32,520 Speaker 2: who served many who served with him, overwhelming support from them. 81 00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:36,200 Speaker 2: A lot of people in the special operations community also 82 00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:39,080 Speaker 2: coming forward to say that they want Pete. 83 00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:40,080 Speaker 1: Heggset, that he is the guy. 84 00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:43,360 Speaker 2: I do think that there has there's been a there's 85 00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:48,080 Speaker 2: a backlash, and it makes sense to me, why against 86 00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:53,560 Speaker 2: the military institutionalist who has really been effectively a politician 87 00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:57,440 Speaker 2: with stars on his shoulders, or perhaps even worse, a 88 00:04:57,520 --> 00:05:02,880 Speaker 2: board member of Rayfieon or Boeing or Lockheed or whatever. 89 00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:06,440 Speaker 2: That that's what you have to be to run the Pentagon. 90 00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:09,880 Speaker 2: A warfighter running the Pentagon is something that a lot 91 00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:13,560 Speaker 2: of warfighters want to see right now. So that's seeming 92 00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:15,560 Speaker 2: to go through, which is a good thing. I wanted 93 00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:20,160 Speaker 2: to start on this claim. I keep wondering when we're 94 00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:23,760 Speaker 2: going to see what the hashtag resistance is. And let 95 00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:27,080 Speaker 2: me be clear, there was almost nothing from BLM last night. 96 00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:29,720 Speaker 1: In I mean, I didn't see anything. Actually in New York. 97 00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:32,719 Speaker 2: There were some people saying some things outside the courtroom, 98 00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:34,960 Speaker 2: but there were no riots, and we didn't expect there 99 00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:37,440 Speaker 2: to be. We said, it feels like that is an 100 00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:42,400 Speaker 2: exhausted mobilization for the left. Well, I keep waiting for 101 00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:46,080 Speaker 2: them to figure out what their opposition is going to 102 00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:50,039 Speaker 2: be and how they're going to try to stymy the 103 00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:53,520 Speaker 2: Trump agenda in terms of the narrative right and really 104 00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:55,880 Speaker 2: a move to sanity, a move toward the center Clay 105 00:05:55,880 --> 00:05:58,919 Speaker 2: feels kind of inevitable, I would think, but maybe not. 106 00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:03,000 Speaker 2: This is cut four AOC who I perhaps have been 107 00:06:03,839 --> 00:06:08,520 Speaker 2: naive enough to think is less of a I think 108 00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:11,520 Speaker 2: Jesse Kelly refers to it as a street communist, our friend, Jesse, 109 00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:14,240 Speaker 2: I like that term, less of a street communist, less 110 00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:17,359 Speaker 2: of somebody who is out there as kind of a 111 00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:20,800 Speaker 2: community organizer, activist, rabble rouser another way of saying it, 112 00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:21,560 Speaker 2: a rabble rouser. 113 00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:24,760 Speaker 1: That she's been moving toward leadership. No, she's still crazy. 114 00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:27,080 Speaker 2: Actually here she is on the Daniel Penny thing. This 115 00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:28,080 Speaker 2: is cut forward play it. 116 00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:31,400 Speaker 5: If we do not want violence on our subways, and 117 00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:35,159 Speaker 5: the point of our justice system is a level of 118 00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:38,920 Speaker 5: accountability to prevent a person who help does not have 119 00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:43,680 Speaker 5: remorse about taking another person's lives. I mean, even people 120 00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:48,240 Speaker 5: who have engaged in NANSLAUGHNSS, or have taken a light 121 00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:52,360 Speaker 5: accidentally expressed remorse. And so the fact that a person 122 00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:55,800 Speaker 5: has may expressed no remorse indicates that there's a risk 123 00:06:55,839 --> 00:06:58,440 Speaker 5: that it may happen again. And if we do not 124 00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:01,320 Speaker 5: want to unleash that level of vie islens, then we 125 00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:04,400 Speaker 5: should exert a level of accountability to prevent that from 126 00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:05,040 Speaker 5: happening again. 127 00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:09,840 Speaker 2: As if Clay locking up Daniel Penny would make the 128 00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:10,960 Speaker 2: subways safer. 129 00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:13,960 Speaker 1: She didn't get the memo that the jury put out. 130 00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:17,800 Speaker 3: Here's a question for you, and I'm not sure what 131 00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:22,280 Speaker 3: my answer is. Is Daniel Penny a twenty four to 132 00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:25,760 Speaker 3: forty eight hour story for the left and they just 133 00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:28,840 Speaker 3: kind of move on because there isn't really any kind 134 00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:32,960 Speaker 3: of rallying cry associated with him. Or is this something 135 00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:37,800 Speaker 3: that lingers because sometimes there are jury results that it 136 00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:39,840 Speaker 3: seems like it's going to be a big story and 137 00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:42,440 Speaker 3: then a couple of days later we move on and 138 00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:46,000 Speaker 3: people don't really care that much. Or is this going 139 00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:50,480 Speaker 3: to be one that lasts for some time and becomes 140 00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:54,720 Speaker 3: a form of rallying cry for the left. My inclination 141 00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:58,640 Speaker 3: is that while they may say crazy things like what 142 00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:02,400 Speaker 3: AOC just said, it's really the twenty four hour news cycle, 143 00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:04,600 Speaker 3: and deep down they know this is not a story 144 00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:06,880 Speaker 3: that lingers in a positive way for them, and so 145 00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:10,680 Speaker 3: they abandoned it. Otherwise, there are other stories that I 146 00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:13,360 Speaker 3: frankly didn't expect to last as long as they did 147 00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:16,920 Speaker 3: that did right. Like they decided January sixth was the 148 00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:19,880 Speaker 3: worst day in America since the Civil War, and they 149 00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:23,160 Speaker 3: made it a thing for years and years. Daniel Penny, 150 00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:25,880 Speaker 3: do you think it's something that lasts that people go 151 00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:30,080 Speaker 3: back to, that remains evocative going forward. Or do you 152 00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:32,920 Speaker 3: think this is a story that forty eight hours from 153 00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:36,400 Speaker 3: now basically nobody left or right really talks about anymore. 154 00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:40,720 Speaker 2: I think that this one goes meaning that it fails away. 155 00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:44,319 Speaker 2: I think that this isn't what they need as a 156 00:08:44,400 --> 00:08:48,560 Speaker 2: rallying cry. Here's the thing. People on the street. People 157 00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:53,079 Speaker 2: on the street, especially in New York, are really tired 158 00:08:53,320 --> 00:08:57,719 Speaker 2: of the maniacs who have been arrested fifty times, who 159 00:08:57,760 --> 00:09:00,440 Speaker 2: are urinating and defecating on the subway, who are spitting 160 00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:06,040 Speaker 2: in people's moms faces and grandmothers and knocking them down. 161 00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:09,920 Speaker 2: And New Yorkers are actually tired of that. It's beyond 162 00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:13,440 Speaker 2: the political now in terms of partisan ship. I mean, 163 00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:16,800 Speaker 2: there's still some lunatic Democrats, but now it's only the 164 00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:21,400 Speaker 2: lunatic Democrats. It's AOC, it's that maniac Taylor Lorenz who 165 00:09:21,880 --> 00:09:24,400 Speaker 2: was at the Washington Post. These are the kind of 166 00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:28,320 Speaker 2: people who's still adhere to what had been that Democrat orthodoxy. 167 00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:32,920 Speaker 2: I think it's been a huge change. Normal people, including. 168 00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:35,680 Speaker 1: There are normal Democrats. I know, sounds like secular. 169 00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:38,760 Speaker 2: There are lots of normal Democrats wrong on some ideas, 170 00:09:38,760 --> 00:09:41,720 Speaker 2: but saying they see this play and they say to themselves, 171 00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:43,040 Speaker 2: enough is enough. 172 00:09:45,240 --> 00:09:50,640 Speaker 3: Yeah, And I think that's probably the ultimate takeaway. In 173 00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:53,760 Speaker 3: the short term, you get outrageous statements like what we 174 00:09:53,880 --> 00:09:58,040 Speaker 3: just played from AOC, but it's almost like she's saying 175 00:09:58,080 --> 00:10:00,240 Speaker 3: that to try to stay in the good grace is 176 00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:02,600 Speaker 3: of the left inner party, and then they'll just allow 177 00:10:02,679 --> 00:10:06,840 Speaker 3: this to vanish because actual normal people want safe subways. 178 00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:11,040 Speaker 3: And when you actually acknowledge the facts of this case 179 00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:16,319 Speaker 3: and examine them, there wasn't much here. And I think 180 00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:20,720 Speaker 3: even the lack of BLM protests buck they were really 181 00:10:20,760 --> 00:10:24,440 Speaker 3: good at mobilizing people to protest anytime they basically called 182 00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:27,880 Speaker 3: for it. We played that yesterday. The leaders of New 183 00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:31,240 Speaker 3: York City's BLM movement said, we basically need to have 184 00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:34,840 Speaker 3: protests and there need to be consequences for this decision 185 00:10:34,920 --> 00:10:39,880 Speaker 3: by this jury. And then nothing happened. And I think, 186 00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:42,360 Speaker 3: you know, it's one thing when you say, hey, we're 187 00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:45,600 Speaker 3: going to basically just decide not to come out and 188 00:10:45,679 --> 00:10:48,040 Speaker 3: try to rally about this, but they made a pretty 189 00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:52,959 Speaker 3: public proclamation that they wanted there to be some consequences 190 00:10:52,960 --> 00:10:53,560 Speaker 3: for this jury. 191 00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:54,000 Speaker 4: Verdict. 192 00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:58,079 Speaker 3: Nothing happened. Nobody really showed up in New York City. 193 00:10:58,840 --> 00:11:01,120 Speaker 3: It makes you wonder, and again, I know we're not 194 00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:03,600 Speaker 3: allowed to go back in time and re examine this stuff. 195 00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:06,440 Speaker 3: I still want to know how they were able to 196 00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:09,920 Speaker 3: mobilize so many people with the BLM riots of the 197 00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:13,280 Speaker 3: summer of twenty twenty. There was money behind that. Remember 198 00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:16,199 Speaker 3: how mysteriously all the riot gear would just show up. 199 00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:19,240 Speaker 3: Suddenly there was a truck that was pulling in with 200 00:11:19,280 --> 00:11:22,240 Speaker 3: all the two by fours and all the crow bars 201 00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:24,240 Speaker 3: and everything that people would end up rioting with. 202 00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:25,880 Speaker 4: There was a lot of. 203 00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:29,360 Speaker 3: Money behind that. Trump was in office, but there doesn't 204 00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:32,760 Speaker 3: seem to be any mass mobilization that's occurring against Trump. 205 00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:36,480 Speaker 3: I think the failure of any real opposition by and 206 00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:41,280 Speaker 3: large to his cabinet nominees, the left is beaten and weak, 207 00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:42,319 Speaker 3: I think right. 208 00:11:42,120 --> 00:11:45,719 Speaker 2: Now, well, that's exactly what I'm feeling, which is I 209 00:11:46,040 --> 00:11:47,960 Speaker 2: cannot remember. I'm gonna tell you all that, I'm gonna 210 00:11:47,960 --> 00:11:51,080 Speaker 2: be honest with you. Since I've been doing this, since 211 00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:52,600 Speaker 2: I've been in the world of media and not the 212 00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:58,360 Speaker 2: world of the intelligence community, I've never felt like the 213 00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:04,520 Speaker 2: left was just just so deflated and and just beaten. 214 00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:06,920 Speaker 2: You know, it's like they got nothing. I don't know 215 00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:09,720 Speaker 2: who is the leader, what is the narrative, what is 216 00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:12,240 Speaker 2: the story? And so on the good side of things, 217 00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:14,400 Speaker 2: I think this means that Trump has more leeway for 218 00:12:14,520 --> 00:12:18,439 Speaker 2: the agenda from go than at any other time, certainly 219 00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:21,160 Speaker 2: than even including the beginning of twenty sixteen. I think 220 00:12:21,160 --> 00:12:24,719 Speaker 2: he has like the blank slate as much as one 221 00:12:24,720 --> 00:12:27,480 Speaker 2: can have one. But you know, he's got the clear space, 222 00:12:27,520 --> 00:12:30,080 Speaker 2: I would say, to really do big things. Clay, I 223 00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:32,079 Speaker 2: don't know. I don't even know what the Democrats are 224 00:12:32,080 --> 00:12:34,959 Speaker 2: offering people. I watched Morning Joe this morning. Honestly, I 225 00:12:34,960 --> 00:12:38,080 Speaker 2: should admit this stuff. It was like watching local news. 226 00:12:38,400 --> 00:12:39,199 Speaker 1: They're like, yeah, the. 227 00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:41,719 Speaker 2: Daniel Penny case, Yeah, this guy got arrested for the 228 00:12:41,800 --> 00:12:45,679 Speaker 2: United Healthcare CEO. Really no commentary because I think they 229 00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:48,560 Speaker 2: don't know what they're supposed to tell their audience anymore. 230 00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:51,240 Speaker 2: What Hitler's going to be president? Hitler won You know 231 00:12:51,320 --> 00:12:52,160 Speaker 2: that's not gonna work. 232 00:12:53,280 --> 00:12:55,760 Speaker 3: I think they're panicking because Fox News now has over 233 00:12:55,840 --> 00:12:59,839 Speaker 3: seventy percent of the news audience and their game plan 234 00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:02,720 Speaker 3: is not working. In the wake of the Trump big 235 00:13:02,800 --> 00:13:06,320 Speaker 3: win it's not only their influence that's diminished, is that 236 00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:09,480 Speaker 3: their audience doesn't trust them. And so I think there's 237 00:13:09,520 --> 00:13:11,800 Speaker 3: a bit of floundering. Did we play the audio of 238 00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:15,480 Speaker 3: your good buddy Morning Joe going off on his audience 239 00:13:15,520 --> 00:13:18,360 Speaker 3: for being too critical of him. It's a sign that 240 00:13:18,440 --> 00:13:21,080 Speaker 3: you're floundering. It's one thing if he goes off on 241 00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:24,360 Speaker 3: Trump's audience, or he goes off on Republicans who are 242 00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:27,800 Speaker 3: not otherwise watching a show. They've now devolved to the 243 00:13:27,840 --> 00:13:30,840 Speaker 3: point buck where they're yelling at the few remaining viewers 244 00:13:30,880 --> 00:13:34,520 Speaker 3: they actually have and basically saying they don't understand the 245 00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:36,720 Speaker 3: brilliance of a guy like Joe Scarborough. 246 00:13:36,760 --> 00:13:38,320 Speaker 2: I'm gonna tell you you know where. You know where 247 00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:41,920 Speaker 2: I think they they rally and they dig in. If 248 00:13:42,160 --> 00:13:46,079 Speaker 2: Trump and the Trump team really go with a massively 249 00:13:46,160 --> 00:13:52,040 Speaker 2: accelerated deportation program, yes, this is where the identity politics, 250 00:13:52,080 --> 00:13:55,880 Speaker 2: the race politics, the class all of that, all of 251 00:13:55,880 --> 00:13:58,959 Speaker 2: a sudden has this huge resurgence. But that's a central 252 00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:01,760 Speaker 2: that's a central promise of Trump two point zero is 253 00:14:01,800 --> 00:14:04,080 Speaker 2: to start that and get that process in motion. So 254 00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:06,760 Speaker 2: that's what I think almost they're waiting for, because right 255 00:14:06,760 --> 00:14:07,600 Speaker 2: now Clay. 256 00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:10,640 Speaker 1: They've just got nothing. It's it's almost sad. 257 00:14:11,920 --> 00:14:15,880 Speaker 3: They're gonna find a couple of kids that are getting deported, 258 00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:19,240 Speaker 3: maybe they get separated from their parents, and they're gonna 259 00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:23,440 Speaker 3: use that as the stand in for why Trump's deportations 260 00:14:23,560 --> 00:14:28,760 Speaker 3: are racist and xenophobic and completely unacceptable. I think you're right. 261 00:14:28,800 --> 00:14:30,640 Speaker 3: I think that's the hill that they're going to decide 262 00:14:30,680 --> 00:14:34,480 Speaker 3: to die on. We'll talk about that in a bit more, 263 00:14:34,560 --> 00:14:37,160 Speaker 3: But in the meantime, you're trying to save money right now, 264 00:14:37,320 --> 00:14:39,440 Speaker 3: pure talk has the best option out there.

Yesterday, Buck, we were overlooking Gaza. 292 00:16:10,120 --> 00:16:12,320 Speaker 3: There's a lot of good stuff that's up at Clay 293 00:16:12,360 --> 00:16:15,920 Speaker 3: and Buck. Of what we are seeing here, you got 294 00:16:16,360 --> 00:16:20,240 Speaker 3: while we're here the situation in Syria, which I'll probably 295 00:16:20,280 --> 00:16:22,920 Speaker 3: ask you about in a little bit because I'm curious 296 00:16:22,920 --> 00:16:24,520 Speaker 3: how you would break all that down. 297 00:16:25,400 --> 00:16:27,080 Speaker 4: But I did want to make sure that. 298 00:16:27,080 --> 00:16:31,040 Speaker 3: We played this cut because there have been a lot 299 00:16:31,080 --> 00:16:33,800 Speaker 3: of people out there, Buck, as we have been talking 300 00:16:33,840 --> 00:16:37,000 Speaker 3: about Daniel Penny and the not guilty verdict in the 301 00:16:37,200 --> 00:16:41,640 Speaker 3: subway case and also the arrest of the individual as 302 00:16:41,680 --> 00:16:44,760 Speaker 3: we were just talking about in the healthcare system for 303 00:16:44,840 --> 00:16:48,600 Speaker 3: the murder of Brian Thompson. There have been some people 304 00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:53,040 Speaker 3: out there trying to analogize these two situations as if 305 00:16:53,040 --> 00:16:58,280 Speaker 3: they are similar. In particular, a woman named Audy Cornish 306 00:16:58,960 --> 00:17:04,360 Speaker 3: is on CNN and I saw this clip and I. 307 00:17:04,320 --> 00:17:07,720 Speaker 4: Couldn't believe it was real. But she a pair. 308 00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:11,639 Speaker 3: She compared them both and said, tell me why one 309 00:17:11,880 --> 00:17:15,960 Speaker 3: vigilante action is okay and the other one is not. 310 00:17:17,080 --> 00:17:20,360 Speaker 3: Listen to this. This is CNN. This is what they 311 00:17:20,359 --> 00:17:25,080 Speaker 3: are putting on CNN these days. Hey, basically these are 312 00:17:25,119 --> 00:17:25,560 Speaker 3: the same. 313 00:17:25,720 --> 00:17:26,000 Speaker 4: Listen. 314 00:17:26,200 --> 00:17:28,000 Speaker 8: Later in the night, we're also going to talk about 315 00:17:28,440 --> 00:17:31,000 Speaker 8: Penny and the verdict. There there you also have a 316 00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:37,840 Speaker 8: victim who somebody determined did not deserve to continue living. No, no, no, yeah, 317 00:17:37,880 --> 00:17:41,240 Speaker 8: tell me tell me which tell me which vigilante action 318 00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:41,840 Speaker 8: is okay? 319 00:17:42,359 --> 00:17:43,679 Speaker 1: One is being proactive? 320 00:17:43,720 --> 00:17:43,880 Speaker 4: Right? 321 00:17:43,920 --> 00:17:48,160 Speaker 9: So this kid who executed someone executed a guy walking 322 00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:50,399 Speaker 9: away from him, shot him in the back, shot him 323 00:17:50,400 --> 00:17:52,480 Speaker 9: in the for no reason whatsoever. 324 00:17:52,880 --> 00:17:54,280 Speaker 1: Daniel Penny is a hero. 325 00:17:54,640 --> 00:17:57,000 Speaker 9: You can say anything you want, talk to people, ride 326 00:17:57,000 --> 00:17:59,680 Speaker 9: the subway every day because I do all the time 327 00:17:59,760 --> 00:18:00,080 Speaker 9: I do. 328 00:18:00,960 --> 00:18:03,119 Speaker 1: I can't find anyone who runs the subway, and I 329 00:18:03,280 --> 00:18:04,639 Speaker 1: was unhappy about this verdict. 330 00:18:05,840 --> 00:18:10,960 Speaker 3: Okay, fuck is Audi Cornish? That was a good responsive defense. 331 00:18:11,119 --> 00:18:16,199 Speaker 3: That was Let me give him credit, Arthur A. Dalla, 332 00:18:16,320 --> 00:18:18,119 Speaker 3: I'm not sure how you pronounced that last name, a 333 00:18:18,119 --> 00:18:22,520 Speaker 3: gal to rile attorney. And then you also had Scott 334 00:18:22,600 --> 00:18:25,680 Speaker 3: Jennings jumping in. Maybe we'll play that as well on CNN. 335 00:18:26,240 --> 00:18:30,199 Speaker 3: But do you think this woman Audi Cornish really finds 336 00:18:30,280 --> 00:18:34,200 Speaker 3: these situation similar or do you think this was an 337 00:18:34,240 --> 00:18:42,040 Speaker 3: intentionally daft comparison? Because this is frequently what identity politics requires. 338 00:18:42,520 --> 00:18:47,920 Speaker 3: It requires trying to strangle and stretch and completely alter 339 00:18:48,119 --> 00:18:52,840 Speaker 3: the trajectory of a story to fit your preconceived narratives. 340 00:18:52,960 --> 00:18:56,479 Speaker 3: Is she too dumb to realize what she's doing? Or 341 00:18:56,560 --> 00:18:58,320 Speaker 3: is she intentionally dishonest? 342 00:18:58,359 --> 00:18:58,560 Speaker 1: Here? 343 00:18:58,600 --> 00:18:59,280 Speaker 4: What do you think? 344 00:18:59,640 --> 00:19:04,320 Speaker 2: I think think as there's an awakening in America about 345 00:19:04,400 --> 00:19:06,960 Speaker 2: what has happened with criminal justice in recent years when 346 00:19:06,960 --> 00:19:10,080 Speaker 2: the left has gotten their way, we have seen laid 347 00:19:10,119 --> 00:19:14,000 Speaker 2: bare more than at any time I think in my 348 00:19:14,240 --> 00:19:19,120 Speaker 2: adult lifetime that there is on the left a purely 349 00:19:20,440 --> 00:19:27,399 Speaker 2: race identified or a race first view of criminal justice, 350 00:19:27,960 --> 00:19:33,040 Speaker 2: and that people feel the need to support whatever in 351 00:19:33,080 --> 00:19:36,880 Speaker 2: the moment. The narrative is of white people doing bad 352 00:19:36,960 --> 00:19:41,600 Speaker 2: things to black people, and that is what the system 353 00:19:41,640 --> 00:19:45,639 Speaker 2: perpetuates and protects, And even when the facts do not 354 00:19:45,920 --> 00:19:50,760 Speaker 2: align with that narrative, there's a tremendous amount of resentment 355 00:19:50,800 --> 00:19:54,199 Speaker 2: for the system and resentment for people who don't go 356 00:19:54,320 --> 00:19:57,640 Speaker 2: along with this. So I think that the racial identify 357 00:19:57,800 --> 00:20:01,120 Speaker 2: you know, sort of racial solidarity, if you will, of 358 00:20:01,160 --> 00:20:04,119 Speaker 2: the left in these incidents is becoming very clear. And 359 00:20:04,200 --> 00:20:06,080 Speaker 2: let me give you an example as to how this 360 00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:09,520 Speaker 2: is or what we see going on here. There have 361 00:20:09,600 --> 00:20:12,320 Speaker 2: been people on the left who have said, I don't 362 00:20:12,320 --> 00:20:14,080 Speaker 2: want to I can think of a couple, but I'm 363 00:20:14,080 --> 00:20:16,120 Speaker 2: not I might be getting the name wrong, but who 364 00:20:16,119 --> 00:20:18,520 Speaker 2: have publicly said in the last twenty four hours. 365 00:20:18,840 --> 00:20:19,760 Speaker 1: Oh, if. 366 00:20:21,200 --> 00:20:26,560 Speaker 2: This had been different, if Daniel Penny had been a 367 00:20:26,640 --> 00:20:32,720 Speaker 2: forty something time arrested violent criminal with a schizophrenia, long 368 00:20:32,800 --> 00:20:38,400 Speaker 2: drug history, et cetera, et cetera, and the black marine 369 00:20:38,600 --> 00:20:41,000 Speaker 2: on the subway had stepped in and did this, all 370 00:20:41,160 --> 00:20:47,040 Speaker 2: the people who are currently supporting Daniel Penny would completely switch. 371 00:20:47,520 --> 00:20:48,560 Speaker 1: That is just a lie. 372 00:20:49,320 --> 00:20:53,760 Speaker 2: That does not take into account the fundamental philosophical approach 373 00:20:54,080 --> 00:20:55,960 Speaker 2: of conservatives on this issue. 374 00:20:56,040 --> 00:20:59,240 Speaker 1: We want people to be safe. We believe citizens and 375 00:20:59,560 --> 00:21:02,960 Speaker 1: an America pricks of any color, of any creed, should 376 00:21:02,960 --> 00:21:05,719 Speaker 1: be safe and should be able to defend themselves. And 377 00:21:05,760 --> 00:21:09,520 Speaker 1: we should support black, white, Hispanic Asian anyone who in 378 00:21:09,600 --> 00:21:14,200 Speaker 1: good faith intervenes to protect others black, white, Hispanic, Asian, 379 00:21:14,280 --> 00:21:17,680 Speaker 1: et cetera. Right. But see, they believe this clay. 380 00:21:17,720 --> 00:21:20,679 Speaker 2: They believe it's always what color is the perpetrator, what 381 00:21:20,920 --> 00:21:24,320 Speaker 2: color or the you know, the aggressor what color is 382 00:21:24,400 --> 00:21:28,080 Speaker 2: the victim. That's the thing that matters the most. And 383 00:21:28,160 --> 00:21:31,080 Speaker 2: it's toxic and it's gross and it's wrong. 384 00:21:32,480 --> 00:21:35,800 Speaker 3: It's the foundation of identity politics. I'll go a step further. 385 00:21:36,560 --> 00:21:40,720 Speaker 3: If that happened, the hypothetical that you just gave, no 386 00:21:40,800 --> 00:21:43,840 Speaker 3: one would even know it happened because no media would 387 00:21:43,840 --> 00:21:47,919 Speaker 3: cover it. I mean, there are stories every day where 388 00:21:47,960 --> 00:21:52,639 Speaker 3: white people are victims of black violence, where Asian people 389 00:21:52,760 --> 00:21:56,600 Speaker 3: are victims of black violence, and the story just goes away. 390 00:21:56,920 --> 00:21:58,280 Speaker 3: And if you're out there and you're saying, what are 391 00:21:58,280 --> 00:22:01,160 Speaker 3: you talking about? Remember the Asian hate thing? 392 00:22:01,640 --> 00:22:05,080 Speaker 2: Stop it stop Asian Stop Asian It was a huge 393 00:22:05,080 --> 00:22:07,440 Speaker 2: deal until they realized that ninety percent of the people 394 00:22:07,480 --> 00:22:09,560 Speaker 2: attacking the Asians were black, and then all of a sudden, 395 00:22:09,560 --> 00:22:10,520 Speaker 2: the story disappeared. 396 00:22:10,760 --> 00:22:14,840 Speaker 3: Story just vanished, storied all over the country, Asian people 397 00:22:14,880 --> 00:22:18,399 Speaker 3: are getting attacked. Man, the rate of Asian violent crime 398 00:22:18,520 --> 00:22:22,200 Speaker 3: is off the charts. And then they started to realize 399 00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:25,679 Speaker 3: who was getting arrested. It was overwhelmingly black men, and 400 00:22:25,760 --> 00:22:27,760 Speaker 3: they just said, yeah, this Asian hate thing is not 401 00:22:27,800 --> 00:22:29,560 Speaker 3: that big of a deal. They just stopped covering it. 402 00:22:29,680 --> 00:22:33,960 Speaker 3: So if your scenario happened, it's not just that the 403 00:22:34,119 --> 00:22:35,879 Speaker 3: first of all, there would be no charges brought. 404 00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:37,560 Speaker 4: The media wouldn't even cover it. 405 00:22:38,680 --> 00:22:42,959 Speaker 3: This is why when they go around and they I hope, 406 00:22:43,600 --> 00:22:48,199 Speaker 3: I hope that their legitimacy is so destroyed that they 407 00:22:48,240 --> 00:22:50,560 Speaker 3: can't do this anymore. But do you remember when they 408 00:22:50,600 --> 00:22:54,120 Speaker 3: would go around at the protest, there were some honest 409 00:22:54,160 --> 00:22:57,080 Speaker 3: media and they would ask people, Hey, how many police 410 00:22:57,160 --> 00:22:59,960 Speaker 3: do you think? How many black men do you think 411 00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:02,560 Speaker 3: get shot and killed by police every year? And they 412 00:23:02,600 --> 00:23:05,520 Speaker 3: would ask people at these protests and they would say like, oh, 413 00:23:05,560 --> 00:23:09,600 Speaker 3: one hundred thousand, ten thousand, like as if it were 414 00:23:09,720 --> 00:23:14,159 Speaker 3: always happening. And the data reflects that seventy five percent 415 00:23:14,160 --> 00:23:17,439 Speaker 3: of people that are shot and killed by police are white, 416 00:23:17,480 --> 00:23:21,000 Speaker 3: Asian or Hispanic and people so twenty five percent or black. 417 00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:24,160 Speaker 3: But people had no idea that there were anybody else 418 00:23:24,200 --> 00:23:28,199 Speaker 3: getting shot by police. And this ties in Buck because 419 00:23:29,080 --> 00:23:33,560 Speaker 3: the data reflects that CNN and MSNBC's audiences have collapsed. 420 00:23:34,040 --> 00:23:37,800 Speaker 3: I think that finally people are aware that they've been 421 00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:41,960 Speaker 3: taken advantage of in terms of the stories that are 422 00:23:41,960 --> 00:23:44,840 Speaker 3: being selected and whether they're representative or not of the 423 00:23:44,880 --> 00:23:45,480 Speaker 3: real world. 424 00:23:46,080 --> 00:23:52,080 Speaker 2: Clay I spoke to Richie McGinness for the Buck Brief podcast, 425 00:23:52,080 --> 00:23:54,360 Speaker 2: which is one of our podcast offerings in the network. 426 00:23:54,600 --> 00:23:56,840 Speaker 2: It's really interesting talking to him actually, because he's he 427 00:23:56,920 --> 00:24:00,640 Speaker 2: covered He was there during the Writtenhouse shooting right there, 428 00:24:00,760 --> 00:24:03,720 Speaker 2: had video of Kyle Rittenhouse right before it, so he 429 00:24:03,880 --> 00:24:07,960 Speaker 2: was at a bullet actually whizzed past him, so he 430 00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:11,879 Speaker 2: was right there for that. He was there covering events 431 00:24:11,880 --> 00:24:14,439 Speaker 2: on January sixth. He was there for a lot of 432 00:24:14,440 --> 00:24:17,760 Speaker 2: the BLM riots and when you were when you recall 433 00:24:18,320 --> 00:24:23,880 Speaker 2: how just horrifically nihilistic and destructive some of those BLM 434 00:24:23,960 --> 00:24:27,760 Speaker 2: riots were. They burned down a police station in Minneapolis, nothing. 435 00:24:27,920 --> 00:24:30,280 Speaker 2: You know, who's serving thirty years in prison for that? 436 00:24:30,359 --> 00:24:32,040 Speaker 2: By the way, you know what I mean? Who is 437 00:24:32,119 --> 00:24:34,879 Speaker 2: getting the book thrown at them for burning down like 438 00:24:34,920 --> 00:24:39,320 Speaker 2: some insurgency, burning down the police station and clay is 439 00:24:39,600 --> 00:24:42,119 Speaker 2: this is they're saying because a black man was killed 440 00:24:42,160 --> 00:24:43,800 Speaker 2: by a white police officer. 441 00:24:44,480 --> 00:24:48,720 Speaker 1: The Washington Post zone numbers show this happens fifteen times, 442 00:24:48,960 --> 00:24:49,640 Speaker 1: perhaps a year. 443 00:24:49,680 --> 00:24:51,320 Speaker 2: And that doesn't mean that in every case the cop, 444 00:24:51,359 --> 00:24:54,560 Speaker 2: by the way, has acted wrongly. Just unarmed black man 445 00:24:54,680 --> 00:24:58,920 Speaker 2: killed by white police officer. It's fifteen times a year. 446 00:24:59,040 --> 00:25:02,719 Speaker 2: Thirty times more people in the United States, as a 447 00:25:02,840 --> 00:25:08,879 Speaker 2: matter of numbers, pure numbers, die from beastings than unarmed 448 00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:12,840 Speaker 2: minorities are killed by police in a country of three 449 00:25:12,920 --> 00:25:17,159 Speaker 2: hundred and fifty million. And they burned down neighborhoods and 450 00:25:17,200 --> 00:25:19,800 Speaker 2: caused billions of dollars of damage and needed to have 451 00:25:19,840 --> 00:25:21,600 Speaker 2: a national racial reckoning. 452 00:25:21,680 --> 00:25:25,600 Speaker 1: This was insane. The whole thing was completely insane. 453 00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:29,760 Speaker 3: Yes, and I got I pulled this data because I 454 00:25:29,800 --> 00:25:33,639 Speaker 3: think it ties in. We have millions of people who listen. 455 00:25:33,920 --> 00:25:36,919 Speaker 3: We are thankful for you all over the country every 456 00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:41,159 Speaker 3: single day, and we enjoy spending our time with you. 457 00:25:41,960 --> 00:25:45,399 Speaker 3: Our numbers continue to grow. I think because over time, 458 00:25:46,080 --> 00:25:49,520 Speaker 3: basically media is a test do you trust this person 459 00:25:49,600 --> 00:25:52,920 Speaker 3: or do you not. The last week of November, which 460 00:25:52,960 --> 00:25:56,680 Speaker 3: is the last full week we have data for MSNBC 461 00:25:57,359 --> 00:26:01,920 Speaker 3: had only twenty nine thousand views buck in the age 462 00:26:02,119 --> 00:26:05,720 Speaker 3: of twenty five to fifty four bracket, which is by 463 00:26:05,760 --> 00:26:10,560 Speaker 3: far the most valuable advertising bracket. CNN had forty one 464 00:26:10,720 --> 00:26:14,840 Speaker 3: thousand viewers. That's less than would be in an average 465 00:26:14,880 --> 00:26:20,960 Speaker 3: football stadium. They've collapsed, and I think it's because of 466 00:26:21,240 --> 00:26:24,879 Speaker 3: arguments like the one that Audie Cornish made. It's just 467 00:26:24,960 --> 00:26:28,560 Speaker 3: as honest, and I do give CNN credit because Scott 468 00:26:28,640 --> 00:26:32,480 Speaker 3: Jennings reacted and explained the difference as well. So at 469 00:26:32,560 --> 00:26:35,200 Speaker 3: least CNN has some people who are willing to call 470 00:26:35,240 --> 00:26:38,080 Speaker 3: out the more absurd arguments that are made. Listen to 471 00:26:38,160 --> 00:26:41,879 Speaker 3: cut seven in case you needed to wonder what is 472 00:26:41,960 --> 00:26:46,720 Speaker 3: the difference between a innocent healthcare executive being shot and 473 00:26:46,800 --> 00:26:49,760 Speaker 3: killed in cold blood and Daniel Penny trying to protect 474 00:26:49,800 --> 00:26:54,280 Speaker 3: people on the subway from a crazy man who's threatening violence. 475 00:26:54,320 --> 00:26:54,680 Speaker 4: To listen. 476 00:26:54,800 --> 00:26:57,200 Speaker 1: If you're on the American Left tonight, here's my chart. 477 00:26:57,240 --> 00:26:58,280 Speaker 1: The good guys today. 478 00:26:58,480 --> 00:27:01,480 Speaker 2: Daniel Penny Luigi Man. 479 00:27:02,040 --> 00:27:03,000 Speaker 3: I think he ought to get metal. 480 00:27:03,040 --> 00:27:04,520 Speaker 2: I think they ought to build a statute of this 481 00:27:04,560 --> 00:27:06,640 Speaker 2: guy in New York City. 482 00:27:07,640 --> 00:27:08,439 Speaker 4: And I'm gonna say it. 483 00:27:08,440 --> 00:27:10,920 Speaker 10: I'm gonna say the dreddit our word race plays a 484 00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:14,919 Speaker 10: role in this right and so we see it, Yes, absolutely, 485 00:27:14,960 --> 00:27:22,640 Speaker 10: because wasn't When people kill people who are white, they 486 00:27:22,680 --> 00:27:25,720 Speaker 10: tend to get harsher sentences, especially if they're people of 487 00:27:25,760 --> 00:27:26,439 Speaker 10: cold What about the. 488 00:27:26,440 --> 00:27:30,760 Speaker 4: Jordan our criminal justice syst I'm not going to stop 489 00:27:30,760 --> 00:27:31,919 Speaker 4: because race, as. 490 00:27:35,480 --> 00:27:38,920 Speaker 3: I gave Jennings credit, But actually CNN just went down 491 00:27:38,960 --> 00:27:43,040 Speaker 3: the racial rabbit hole, which is one hundred percent dishonest, 492 00:27:43,240 --> 00:27:47,440 Speaker 3: as the data all reflects. And so this is why 493 00:27:47,480 --> 00:27:50,600 Speaker 3: I think their audience has finally collapsed all the lies 494 00:27:50,680 --> 00:27:54,720 Speaker 3: that they've told building up through COVID, first Trump term. 495 00:27:55,040 --> 00:27:58,359 Speaker 3: People finally have tuned out. And I think there is 496 00:27:58,440 --> 00:28:03,280 Speaker 3: a panic setting in over these businesses, which is what 497 00:28:03,440 --> 00:28:06,680 Speaker 3: MSNBC and CNN are, make no mistake, their media businesses, 498 00:28:06,800 --> 00:28:08,840 Speaker 3: all of them collapsing. We'll take some of your calls, 499 00:28:09,480 --> 00:28:12,600 Speaker 3: will react. Also, I love that Trump has said he 500 00:28:12,680 --> 00:28:16,000 Speaker 3: is officially going to end birthright citizenship. We want to 501 00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:17,560 Speaker 3: play some of that that was in an interview for 502 00:28:17,680 --> 00:28:20,520 Speaker 3: Meet the Press. In the meantime, this holiday season, Tuntle 503 00:28:20,560 --> 00:28:23,399 Speaker 3: of Towers is delivering dozens of mortgage free homes to 504 00:28:23,480 --> 00:28:26,719 Speaker 3: deserving recipients across the country.

Syria loses, as Buck pointed out, 529 00:29:41,800 --> 00:29:46,640 Speaker 3: a sod the son of the initial dictator. This one 530 00:29:46,880 --> 00:29:50,360 Speaker 3: was not expected to be the follow up. His older 531 00:29:50,440 --> 00:29:55,120 Speaker 3: brother died in a car accident, I believe, and so 532 00:29:55,880 --> 00:29:59,760 Speaker 3: this assad who was an I doctor in Europe in 533 00:30:00,280 --> 00:30:04,600 Speaker 3: up the dictator of a Middle Eastern country forced out. 534 00:30:04,800 --> 00:30:09,240 Speaker 3: There now is a power vacuum in Syria. Buck, what's 535 00:30:09,320 --> 00:30:13,160 Speaker 3: the right thing to do for Donald Trump as he 536 00:30:13,280 --> 00:30:16,800 Speaker 3: comes in In regards to the Middle East? The hostages 537 00:30:16,880 --> 00:30:20,520 Speaker 3: are a huge story. I'm in Israel right now. They're 538 00:30:20,560 --> 00:30:24,240 Speaker 3: over one hundred of them. I toured the Kibbutz, one 539 00:30:24,280 --> 00:30:27,040 Speaker 3: of them that was run over and attacked. I was 540 00:30:27,040 --> 00:30:32,320 Speaker 3: at the Nova Dance, the music festival where over four 541 00:30:32,400 --> 00:30:35,760 Speaker 3: hundred young people were killed on October seventh. I have 542 00:30:35,920 --> 00:30:39,840 Speaker 3: toured all these different places with our friends at the IFCJ. 543 00:30:40,480 --> 00:30:44,320 Speaker 3: I'm here until we're doing the show Wednesday and Thursday, 544 00:30:44,400 --> 00:30:48,200 Speaker 3: also from Israel. I'm sitting down tomorrow with the speaker 545 00:30:48,400 --> 00:30:52,320 Speaker 3: of basically the House in Israel. He's the number three 546 00:30:52,400 --> 00:30:57,560 Speaker 3: overall politician. There's a lot of talk about Syria, but 547 00:30:57,680 --> 00:31:00,800 Speaker 3: doesn't it all come back to Iran and the decision 548 00:31:00,840 --> 00:31:02,720 Speaker 3: that the Trump team is going to have to make 549 00:31:03,200 --> 00:31:05,880 Speaker 3: regarding what to do about their nuclear ambition. 550 00:31:06,040 --> 00:31:06,960 Speaker 4: Isn't that to me? 551 00:31:07,600 --> 00:31:10,680 Speaker 3: That's really You can talk about all these smaller countries, yes, 552 00:31:10,840 --> 00:31:14,760 Speaker 3: Lebanon and Hamas, but they're really all funded by Iran, 553 00:31:14,920 --> 00:31:16,840 Speaker 3: which is the big dog in. 554 00:31:16,840 --> 00:31:19,600 Speaker 4: The Middle East. Right now, what should the Trump team 555 00:31:19,640 --> 00:31:20,959 Speaker 4: be doing? In your mind? 556 00:31:21,200 --> 00:31:23,920 Speaker 2: I think the Trump team is going to do a 557 00:31:23,920 --> 00:31:26,040 Speaker 2: lot of what we saw in the first four years 558 00:31:26,040 --> 00:31:28,480 Speaker 2: when it comes to foreign policy. Foreign policy for the 559 00:31:28,480 --> 00:31:33,000 Speaker 2: Trump administration one point zero term one was one of 560 00:31:33,040 --> 00:31:39,320 Speaker 2: the clear bright spots. Really, I don't know if unassailable 561 00:31:39,560 --> 00:31:42,440 Speaker 2: is the word, but it's something close to that. The 562 00:31:42,520 --> 00:31:45,840 Speaker 2: fact that no foreign wars started. And I think on 563 00:31:45,880 --> 00:31:49,560 Speaker 2: a foreign policy alone scope, you'd have to give Trump 564 00:31:50,120 --> 00:31:52,600 Speaker 2: an A. I mean maybe the kind of person who 565 00:31:52,640 --> 00:31:55,000 Speaker 2: doesn't believe in given an A, you may be given 566 00:31:55,000 --> 00:31:59,480 Speaker 2: an A minus. There were a number of things you 567 00:31:59,480 --> 00:32:01,400 Speaker 2: could point. To back this up, I would just note, 568 00:32:01,440 --> 00:32:04,440 Speaker 2: though the biggest thing is no new wars, not getting 569 00:32:04,440 --> 00:32:09,400 Speaker 2: involved in foreign conflicts. Our whole generation Clay has millions 570 00:32:09,440 --> 00:32:11,520 Speaker 2: of people who served in these wars. 571 00:32:11,520 --> 00:32:13,000 Speaker 1: And what was once. 572 00:32:12,800 --> 00:32:15,760 Speaker 2: Termed the g WATT the Global War on Terror, and 573 00:32:15,760 --> 00:32:18,320 Speaker 2: then the Obama administration came in, and I truly can't 574 00:32:18,360 --> 00:32:20,360 Speaker 2: even remember. I was in the CIA when they came 575 00:32:20,400 --> 00:32:23,040 Speaker 2: in in two thousand and eight or two thousand and 576 00:32:23,120 --> 00:32:26,120 Speaker 2: nine rather, and I don't even remember what they wanted 577 00:32:26,160 --> 00:32:29,240 Speaker 2: to call it, but it was something like overseas contingency 578 00:32:29,280 --> 00:32:32,760 Speaker 2: operations against foreign extremist elements. I mean, it was the craziest, 579 00:32:32,800 --> 00:32:36,600 Speaker 2: longest thing because they were trying to be PC and 580 00:32:36,640 --> 00:32:39,959 Speaker 2: when dealing with the head chopping suicide vest maniacs of 581 00:32:40,600 --> 00:32:45,840 Speaker 2: AQI and the Taliban and the Akani network, etc. So Trump, 582 00:32:45,960 --> 00:32:47,960 Speaker 2: I think, will return to a lot of what we saw, 583 00:32:48,560 --> 00:32:51,480 Speaker 2: which is a first and foremost, do no harm to 584 00:32:51,880 --> 00:32:56,200 Speaker 2: our troops and to our interests, you know, don't put 585 00:32:56,200 --> 00:32:59,960 Speaker 2: them in harm's way without there being an absolutely necessary cause. 586 00:33:00,320 --> 00:33:04,520 Speaker 2: Trump destroyed ISIS, as we remember, very rapidly by allowing 587 00:33:04,560 --> 00:33:06,920 Speaker 2: the military to do what they needed to do on 588 00:33:06,960 --> 00:33:10,360 Speaker 2: the Middle East. Now, I think Trump is actually in 589 00:33:10,440 --> 00:33:15,040 Speaker 2: a stronger He's inheriting a stronger position than anybody has 590 00:33:15,080 --> 00:33:17,200 Speaker 2: in the post nine to eleven era. 591 00:33:17,720 --> 00:33:18,920 Speaker 1: I really believe that. 592 00:33:18,800 --> 00:33:22,239 Speaker 2: The failures of the Iran nuclear deal, I think are 593 00:33:22,240 --> 00:33:25,960 Speaker 2: apparent to anybody who is paying attention. Giving Iran more leeway, 594 00:33:26,040 --> 00:33:30,040 Speaker 2: giving the Molas more money was a disaster. It did 595 00:33:30,080 --> 00:33:33,280 Speaker 2: not make them more willing to play ball with the 596 00:33:33,280 --> 00:33:36,000 Speaker 2: international community and stop being the biggest supporter of terror. 597 00:33:36,400 --> 00:33:40,920 Speaker 2: The best thing that's happened is Israel has largely defanged 598 00:33:40,960 --> 00:33:46,000 Speaker 2: the Iranian serpent through Hamas and Hesbela being reduced as 599 00:33:46,080 --> 00:33:50,080 Speaker 2: fighting forces to the lowest strength in decades. Clay, at 600 00:33:50,080 --> 00:33:52,520 Speaker 2: this point, I'm sure you're seeing and hearing a lot 601 00:33:52,560 --> 00:33:54,400 Speaker 2: about this from the people that you're on the ground 602 00:33:54,400 --> 00:33:57,600 Speaker 2: there with in Israel. But taking the fight to Hamas 603 00:33:57,680 --> 00:34:00,520 Speaker 2: and to Hesbela in the way that Israel has, whether 604 00:34:00,680 --> 00:34:06,800 Speaker 2: it's the Pager operation, the operations in Gaza, major military 605 00:34:06,840 --> 00:34:11,279 Speaker 2: operations there, this opens the doorway to I think, much 606 00:34:11,280 --> 00:34:17,680 Speaker 2: more lasting diplomatic agreements and a forward moving Middle East, 607 00:34:17,760 --> 00:34:21,920 Speaker 2: because Iran is far less capable to extend its tentacles 608 00:34:21,920 --> 00:34:25,680 Speaker 2: and strangle these things so you might have the Gulf 609 00:34:25,680 --> 00:34:28,440 Speaker 2: States moving more toward Israel, which I think would be 610 00:34:28,480 --> 00:34:30,360 Speaker 2: a very good thing. I think you could have Egyptian 611 00:34:30,719 --> 00:34:33,719 Speaker 2: Israeli relations moving in the right direction. So what does 612 00:34:33,760 --> 00:34:35,320 Speaker 2: Trump do? I mean, there's a lot we're talking to 613 00:34:35,320 --> 00:34:36,840 Speaker 2: the Middle East. We could obviously do a show on 614 00:34:36,840 --> 00:34:39,319 Speaker 2: this every day, a whole show on it. But what 615 00:34:39,360 --> 00:34:42,000 Speaker 2: does Trump do? I think He's got good people in place, 616 00:34:42,040 --> 00:34:45,920 Speaker 2: Mark or Rubio is a solid and experienced foreign policy 617 00:34:45,960 --> 00:34:49,640 Speaker 2: hand at Secretary of State, and he's going to back 618 00:34:50,120 --> 00:34:53,160 Speaker 2: Israel in our allies and answer the fundamental question about 619 00:34:53,160 --> 00:34:56,000 Speaker 2: foreign relations, which is your allies should know who they 620 00:34:56,000 --> 00:34:58,239 Speaker 2: are and be treated as such. Your enemy should know 621 00:34:58,239 --> 00:35:00,879 Speaker 2: who they are and be treated as such. And that's 622 00:35:00,920 --> 00:35:03,120 Speaker 2: the way Trump is going to going to deal with it. 623 00:35:03,160 --> 00:35:06,719 Speaker 2: So I think that there's a very I think that 624 00:35:06,760 --> 00:35:08,400 Speaker 2: the outlook in the Middle East, for despite all the 625 00:35:08,400 --> 00:35:12,040 Speaker 2: bloodshed and the atrocity of October seventh against Israel, now 626 00:35:12,080 --> 00:35:16,719 Speaker 2: going forward there's a greater opportunity for stability than we've 627 00:35:16,719 --> 00:35:18,240 Speaker 2: seen in a while, with the. 628 00:35:18,120 --> 00:35:20,399 Speaker 1: Exception of Syria. 629 00:35:20,480 --> 00:35:24,239 Speaker 2: I am very concerned about the trajectory of Syria right now, 630 00:35:24,280 --> 00:35:26,240 Speaker 2: which I know is something that's also on the radar 631 00:35:26,320 --> 00:35:28,240 Speaker 2: of the people that you are talking to in Israel. 632 00:35:30,440 --> 00:35:33,200 Speaker 3: So one of the challenges with all of these situations 633 00:35:33,280 --> 00:35:35,600 Speaker 3: is we seem to always believe that things can only 634 00:35:35,640 --> 00:35:40,680 Speaker 3: get better, and oftentimes you can replace someone who is 635 00:35:40,840 --> 00:35:44,560 Speaker 3: bad with someone who is worse, and there's never, really, 636 00:35:44,800 --> 00:35:47,960 Speaker 3: it feels to me, a recognition. 637 00:35:47,320 --> 00:35:48,080 Speaker 4: Of that danger. 638 00:35:48,200 --> 00:35:53,520 Speaker 3: For instance, Iraq seems to have calmed down now, but 639 00:35:54,200 --> 00:35:59,560 Speaker 3: for some time the situation was, oh, if we replace 640 00:35:59,600 --> 00:36:01,839 Speaker 3: Saddam saying a rock's going to be fine, We're going 641 00:36:01,880 --> 00:36:04,439 Speaker 3: to create a laboratory for democracy and the Middle East 642 00:36:04,440 --> 00:36:05,320 Speaker 3: will completely change. 643 00:36:05,360 --> 00:36:06,759 Speaker 4: And that didn't happen. Right. 644 00:36:06,800 --> 00:36:12,839 Speaker 3: We spent trillions of dollars of taxpayer money, we wasted thousands, 645 00:36:13,040 --> 00:36:18,640 Speaker 3: unfortunately lives, for a situation that did not materially change 646 00:36:18,760 --> 00:36:22,560 Speaker 3: the overall trajectory of the Middle East, at least so far. 647 00:36:23,760 --> 00:36:27,840 Speaker 3: My wonder is, is now the time to really put 648 00:36:27,880 --> 00:36:32,200 Speaker 3: the pressure on the Ayatola and try and wipe out 649 00:36:32,320 --> 00:36:36,359 Speaker 3: Iran's ability to get a nuclear weapon, Because if they 650 00:36:36,360 --> 00:36:40,040 Speaker 3: get a nuclear weapon, they're gambling that they're going to 651 00:36:40,080 --> 00:36:42,239 Speaker 3: be in a position where nobody can mess with them. 652 00:36:42,320 --> 00:36:45,760 Speaker 3: That's why North Korea wants nuclear weapons. That's why Russia 653 00:36:45,880 --> 00:36:50,319 Speaker 3: has them. They have right, Russia has them, Yeah, but 654 00:36:50,440 --> 00:36:53,440 Speaker 3: that's why Ukraine wishes that they hadn't given them up, 655 00:36:54,239 --> 00:36:58,120 Speaker 3: which in very little discussion about the fact that Ukraine 656 00:36:58,200 --> 00:37:01,480 Speaker 3: gave up its nuclear weapons and we said we'll always 657 00:37:01,520 --> 00:37:05,680 Speaker 3: protect you Ukraine, and then Ukraine gets invaded and they're 658 00:37:06,000 --> 00:37:08,160 Speaker 3: kind of on their own right, if you could go 659 00:37:08,239 --> 00:37:10,719 Speaker 3: back in time, I bet Ukraine wishes they had kept 660 00:37:10,719 --> 00:37:13,280 Speaker 3: all the nuclear weapons they had, and I bet Russia 661 00:37:13,280 --> 00:37:16,840 Speaker 3: wouldn't have invaded if they had done. So my point 662 00:37:16,920 --> 00:37:20,799 Speaker 3: is we can talk all the time about democracy and 663 00:37:20,840 --> 00:37:24,600 Speaker 3: then the flourishment of freedom, Ultimately there has to be 664 00:37:24,760 --> 00:37:28,880 Speaker 3: forced to back it up or else it's all for naught, 665 00:37:28,920 --> 00:37:32,560 Speaker 3: particularly in the Middle East. So I think Trump is 666 00:37:32,600 --> 00:37:34,480 Speaker 3: going to come in and be a lot tougher on Iran. 667 00:37:34,600 --> 00:37:36,799 Speaker 3: I think he should be. I think the question is 668 00:37:36,880 --> 00:37:40,080 Speaker 3: how tough should he be and how far can he 669 00:37:40,200 --> 00:37:43,719 Speaker 3: take it? Because I think Iran, like you can talk 670 00:37:43,719 --> 00:37:48,919 Speaker 3: about Syria, I think Iran is close to revolting once 671 00:37:49,000 --> 00:37:52,800 Speaker 3: the Ayatola is gone, and who knows what that country 672 00:37:52,840 --> 00:37:57,759 Speaker 3: may look like. Historically, Iran was actually pre seventy nine. 673 00:37:57,840 --> 00:38:00,799 Speaker 3: You may know better than me buck like, I mean, 674 00:38:00,840 --> 00:38:03,960 Speaker 3: for a Middle Eastern country, the people had pretty basic 675 00:38:04,040 --> 00:38:06,000 Speaker 3: human rights compared to what they have now. 676 00:38:07,160 --> 00:38:09,640 Speaker 2: Well, it was far more western eyes. Women were walking 677 00:38:09,640 --> 00:38:12,600 Speaker 2: around in high heels and skirts at University of Tehran 678 00:38:12,719 --> 00:38:13,600 Speaker 2: back in the sixties. 679 00:38:13,640 --> 00:38:15,719 Speaker 1: I mean, it was a yeah. 680 00:38:15,719 --> 00:38:21,359 Speaker 2: I mean, the the Islamist menace, you know, ran rough 681 00:38:21,360 --> 00:38:24,799 Speaker 2: shot with the Iranian Revolution and through the broader Middle East, 682 00:38:24,840 --> 00:38:28,000 Speaker 2: caused enormous suffering in a whole bunch of different countries. 683 00:38:28,440 --> 00:38:31,480 Speaker 2: So the question, though, becomes, does Israel strike the Iranian 684 00:38:31,560 --> 00:38:36,200 Speaker 2: nuclear reactors? This is something like the China going for 685 00:38:36,280 --> 00:38:39,480 Speaker 2: Taiwan conversation that we've had it for so long and 686 00:38:39,520 --> 00:38:41,520 Speaker 2: so many iterations of it that I think it's hard 687 00:38:41,560 --> 00:38:44,400 Speaker 2: to think that it's any different right now than it 688 00:38:44,480 --> 00:38:48,920 Speaker 2: has been in the past. Or rather, when it happens, 689 00:38:49,000 --> 00:38:51,239 Speaker 2: we'll have spoken about it so much that it will 690 00:38:51,239 --> 00:38:54,040 Speaker 2: feel like a surprise because it'll be the thousandth time 691 00:38:54,400 --> 00:38:55,640 Speaker 2: we've gone through the discussion. 692 00:38:56,239 --> 00:38:58,920 Speaker 1: But that would be a major change in the region. 693 00:38:59,040 --> 00:39:03,000 Speaker 2: And I think that the reality is if the Israelis 694 00:39:03,040 --> 00:39:07,480 Speaker 2: think they have the military capability for it, which people 695 00:39:07,520 --> 00:39:09,160 Speaker 2: assume these things, I don't know. 696 00:39:09,239 --> 00:39:09,839 Speaker 1: I mean, I would. 697 00:39:09,840 --> 00:39:12,040 Speaker 2: I would think the Israelis could pull that off, although 698 00:39:12,320 --> 00:39:14,600 Speaker 2: the Iranians have had a lot of time to harden 699 00:39:14,760 --> 00:39:19,040 Speaker 2: and hide their nuclear capabilities. I think the Trump would 700 00:39:19,080 --> 00:39:21,440 Speaker 2: back them on it if they decided to go for it. 701 00:39:22,000 --> 00:39:25,560 Speaker 2: And I think that the proxy armies that Iran has 702 00:39:25,560 --> 00:39:29,920 Speaker 2: been able to kind of wave around as a threat 703 00:39:30,080 --> 00:39:34,680 Speaker 2: against any Israeli action against the nuclear program, they are a. 704 00:39:34,920 --> 00:39:36,279 Speaker 1: Shadow of what they used to be. 705 00:39:36,960 --> 00:39:40,239 Speaker 2: So could we see that happen, Yeah, but that's what 706 00:39:40,280 --> 00:39:43,000 Speaker 2: we would call in the CIA or I think people 707 00:39:43,040 --> 00:39:45,480 Speaker 2: just say this in general in like risk analysis, right, 708 00:39:46,560 --> 00:39:50,480 Speaker 2: low probability, high impact. I think it's unlikely, but if 709 00:39:50,520 --> 00:39:52,279 Speaker 2: it did happen, it would be a really big deal. 710 00:39:53,200 --> 00:39:55,080 Speaker 2: The main thing that I think the Trump administration is 711 00:39:55,080 --> 00:39:57,239 Speaker 2: looking at when it comes to our military, at least 712 00:39:57,280 --> 00:40:00,040 Speaker 2: from what I'm hearing so far, is reforming it and 713 00:40:00,080 --> 00:40:04,560 Speaker 2: strengthening it internally and here and not using it as 714 00:40:04,560 --> 00:40:09,240 Speaker 2: some kind of a police and rebuilding foreign nation's force 715 00:40:09,480 --> 00:40:12,960 Speaker 2: in these particularly in these Muslim majority countries. So I 716 00:40:13,000 --> 00:40:15,080 Speaker 2: do not foresee them trying to get more involved in 717 00:40:15,120 --> 00:40:17,799 Speaker 2: the situation in Syria, although I will point out, you know, 718 00:40:17,920 --> 00:40:20,680 Speaker 2: sometimes the enemy gets a vote in these things too. 719 00:40:20,960 --> 00:40:24,799 Speaker 2: And Trump was leading the fight against ISIS back in 720 00:40:24,840 --> 00:40:28,040 Speaker 2: twenty sixteen as commander in chief. You have an entity 721 00:40:28,080 --> 00:40:31,279 Speaker 2: that's very similar to ISIS right now in ideology. I mean, 722 00:40:31,320 --> 00:40:35,200 Speaker 2: they would argue with that, but we'll see that has 723 00:40:35,239 --> 00:40:38,440 Speaker 2: just taken over the whole country of Syria. Right ISIS 724 00:40:38,480 --> 00:40:43,120 Speaker 2: had this corridor really in the east and up along 725 00:40:43,160 --> 00:40:45,440 Speaker 2: the border with Iraq in Syria. That's why it was 726 00:40:45,440 --> 00:40:49,040 Speaker 2: the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria. Right now they've 727 00:40:49,040 --> 00:40:52,600 Speaker 2: got the entire country and the Israelis are hitting stockpiles 728 00:40:52,600 --> 00:40:54,760 Speaker 2: of munitions hoping that they don't fall into the hands 729 00:40:54,760 --> 00:40:55,520 Speaker 2: of these individuals. 730 00:40:55,560 --> 00:40:56,960 Speaker 1: That's a pretty strong thing to do. 731 00:40:57,040 --> 00:41:01,000 Speaker 2: I mean, that's the Israelis engaged in a real politique 732 00:41:01,080 --> 00:41:03,840 Speaker 2: of yeah, I don't trust that these guys aren't going 733 00:41:03,920 --> 00:41:05,040 Speaker 2: to be a nightmare for us. 734 00:41:05,239 --> 00:41:07,200 Speaker 1: So this is the. 735 00:41:07,160 --> 00:41:10,560 Speaker 2: Troubling change in the dynamic over there. And I'll just 736 00:41:10,560 --> 00:41:14,920 Speaker 2: say that everybody who is either celebrating or fear mongering 737 00:41:14,960 --> 00:41:19,319 Speaker 2: on this, you know, we just don't know. I am 738 00:41:19,320 --> 00:41:21,640 Speaker 2: more pessimistic about the future of Syria than a lot 739 00:41:21,640 --> 00:41:23,480 Speaker 2: of people right now who are dancing in the streets 740 00:41:23,520 --> 00:41:25,799 Speaker 2: and firing off AK forty sevens in the air. But 741 00:41:25,960 --> 00:41:30,960 Speaker 2: maybe I'm wrong, Probably not, though probably not. I'm just 742 00:41:30,960 --> 00:41:32,640 Speaker 2: throwing that out there, these things that tend to be 743 00:41:32,680 --> 00:41:33,200 Speaker 2: a little bit right. 744 00:41:33,239 --> 00:41:33,880 Speaker 1: But we'll see. 745 00:41:34,920 --> 00:41:37,880 Speaker 2: Here's a gift idea for all of your family members 746 00:41:37,920 --> 00:41:40,200 Speaker 2: of all ages, comes from a company that is doing 747 00:41:40,239 --> 00:41:43,879 Speaker 2: great things with technology.

We've got Donald Trump over 779 00:43:13,320 --> 00:43:16,480 Speaker 2: the weekend laying out some plans.

The Democrats are 784 00:43:27,520 --> 00:43:31,200 Speaker 2: on their back feet in a way that I don't 785 00:43:31,239 --> 00:43:33,880 Speaker 2: know if we've ever seen them like this twenty sixteen, 786 00:43:34,000 --> 00:43:36,480 Speaker 2: they had that Trump, they had that Trump surprise win. 787 00:43:36,560 --> 00:43:40,040 Speaker 2: Right they were in a shock, in a frenzy and 788 00:43:40,320 --> 00:43:44,239 Speaker 2: crying and you know, panic rooms and everything else that 789 00:43:44,280 --> 00:43:48,120 Speaker 2: Democrats had cry rooms. But they immediately launched. You I 790 00:43:48,120 --> 00:43:51,800 Speaker 2: remember there were marches in the street. Not my President 791 00:43:51,880 --> 00:43:54,480 Speaker 2: was what they were screaming. And you know who streets 792 00:43:54,480 --> 00:43:57,680 Speaker 2: are streets and we are the resistance, and right away 793 00:43:58,440 --> 00:44:02,759 Speaker 2: they leapt into this mania of anti trump Ism. Right now, 794 00:44:02,760 --> 00:44:06,279 Speaker 2: there's almost a deafening silence. You know, there's kind of 795 00:44:06,360 --> 00:44:10,920 Speaker 2: just like, uh, you know, Morning Joe could be any 796 00:44:11,000 --> 00:44:13,920 Speaker 2: local news broadcast and a lot of kind of mid 797 00:44:13,960 --> 00:44:16,040 Speaker 2: tier markets across the country, and I'm just waiting for 798 00:44:16,120 --> 00:44:18,040 Speaker 2: them to be like, oh, like, look at this story 799 00:44:18,080 --> 00:44:20,319 Speaker 2: about the ducks that got lost on their way through 800 00:44:20,360 --> 00:44:24,480 Speaker 2: the storm train. You know, really kind of just this 801 00:44:24,560 --> 00:44:27,560 Speaker 2: is like silly, it's not really not really what it 802 00:44:27,640 --> 00:44:28,480 Speaker 2: was at all before. 803 00:44:28,560 --> 00:44:30,360 Speaker 1: And MSNBC, CNN are reeling. 804 00:44:30,760 --> 00:44:34,560 Speaker 2: Christopher Rufo, who is if there was going to be 805 00:44:34,600 --> 00:44:37,439 Speaker 2: a dei zar for the government, I think Rufo would 806 00:44:37,440 --> 00:44:39,520 Speaker 2: be the guy to get that job under Trump. Maybe 807 00:44:39,520 --> 00:44:42,600 Speaker 2: maybe that's an idea for Trump. But Rufo tweeted out. 808 00:44:42,680 --> 00:44:45,680 Speaker 2: Now is the time for a blitz through the institutions. 809 00:44:46,200 --> 00:44:51,480 Speaker 2: The left is exhausted, BLM is shattered, trans is imploding. 810 00:44:51,840 --> 00:44:55,640 Speaker 2: Trump has a mandate to abolish DEI, to fund left 811 00:44:55,680 --> 00:44:59,919 Speaker 2: wing racialism, and restore public authority over the public institutions. 812 00:45:00,280 --> 00:45:04,520 Speaker 2: The counter revolution starts now. I think he is absolutely 813 00:45:04,560 --> 00:45:07,680 Speaker 2: spot on with this play. And part of this is 814 00:45:08,280 --> 00:45:12,680 Speaker 2: to really try to do major things here, major things 815 00:45:13,400 --> 00:45:17,480 Speaker 2: to change our immigration enforcement. 816 00:45:17,840 --> 00:45:21,080 Speaker 1: Right, That's really what this comes down to. Trump said 817 00:45:21,120 --> 00:45:23,040 Speaker 1: over the weekend. And I got to say this is 818 00:45:24,719 --> 00:45:26,239 Speaker 1: this is even more. 819 00:45:26,120 --> 00:45:30,480 Speaker 2: Of a shot across the bow for the open borders 820 00:45:30,520 --> 00:45:33,880 Speaker 2: Democrats and the open borders Republicans than to build the 821 00:45:33,920 --> 00:45:36,600 Speaker 2: wall stuff. In some ways, Trump is saying it is 822 00:45:36,640 --> 00:45:40,479 Speaker 2: his plan to end birthright citizenship. This has cut eight 823 00:45:40,560 --> 00:45:43,240 Speaker 2: Let's hear what he said over the weekend to whatever 824 00:45:43,840 --> 00:45:45,640 Speaker 2: network Christen Welker works for play it. 825 00:45:45,800 --> 00:45:48,839 Speaker 11: Can you promised to end birthright citizenship on day one? 826 00:45:48,960 --> 00:45:49,959 Speaker 11: Is that still your plan? 827 00:45:50,080 --> 00:45:50,480 Speaker 1: Yeah? 828 00:45:50,520 --> 00:45:51,160 Speaker 9: Absolutely. 829 00:45:51,440 --> 00:45:54,600 Speaker 11: The fourteenth Amendment though, says that quote all persons born 830 00:45:54,640 --> 00:45:57,440 Speaker 11: in the United States are citizens. Can you get around 831 00:45:57,440 --> 00:45:58,560 Speaker 11: the fourteenth Amendment with. 832 00:45:58,520 --> 00:46:01,560 Speaker 9: Actually change, Maybe have to go back to the people. 833 00:46:01,920 --> 00:46:03,800 Speaker 9: But we have to end it with the only country 834 00:46:03,800 --> 00:46:04,160 Speaker 9: that has it. 835 00:46:04,200 --> 00:46:05,719 Speaker 11: You're an executive action, You're with. 836 00:46:05,760 --> 00:46:08,600 Speaker 9: The only country that has it.

Congratulations, you are now 839 00:46:14,280 --> 00:46:17,600 Speaker 9: a citizen of the United States of Americillas. We're going 840 00:46:17,680 --> 00:46:19,680 Speaker 9: to end that because it's ridiculous. 841 00:46:19,200 --> 00:46:20,080 Speaker 11: Nor executive action. 842 00:46:20,440 --> 00:46:23,839 Speaker 9: Well, if we can't through executive action, I was going 843 00:46:23,880 --> 00:46:25,640 Speaker 9: to do it through executive action, but then we had 844 00:46:25,640 --> 00:46:28,840 Speaker 9: to fix COVID first. To be honest with you, we 845 00:46:28,960 --> 00:46:29,759 Speaker 9: have to end it. 846 00:46:31,000 --> 00:46:33,480 Speaker 2: Clay, I agree, it has to be ended. There's a 847 00:46:33,560 --> 00:46:36,080 Speaker 2: huge problem with the way the law is currently enforced 848 00:46:36,120 --> 00:46:38,840 Speaker 2: because or way it's set up. If you set up 849 00:46:38,880 --> 00:46:42,319 Speaker 2: a birth tourism hotel, and this is common in California, 850 00:46:42,360 --> 00:46:44,920 Speaker 2: and generally it's East Asians who have been engaged in 851 00:46:45,000 --> 00:46:47,279 Speaker 2: you know, for national Thest Asians who've been engaged in this, 852 00:46:47,880 --> 00:46:51,680 Speaker 2: that's a crime. If you are engaged in a sham marriage. 853 00:46:51,680 --> 00:46:53,239 Speaker 2: Also to try to get a green cort, that is 854 00:46:53,280 --> 00:46:55,920 Speaker 2: a crime. I mean, these are federal crimes. But if 855 00:46:55,960 --> 00:46:58,200 Speaker 2: you come here illegally have a child here, you are 856 00:46:58,239 --> 00:47:02,480 Speaker 2: rewarded with citizenship. This needs to be taken up by 857 00:47:02,480 --> 00:47:05,440 Speaker 2: the Trump administration, and this is going to be a 858 00:47:05,440 --> 00:47:06,640 Speaker 2: heck of a fight if they do it. 859 00:47:07,840 --> 00:47:10,600 Speaker 3: Yeah, So let me go ahead and dive into my 860 00:47:11,280 --> 00:47:17,160 Speaker 3: lawyer analysis, because yes, Trump should take executive action on this, 861 00:47:17,800 --> 00:47:20,400 Speaker 3: and he should say that it is the opinion of 862 00:47:20,440 --> 00:47:25,440 Speaker 3: the United States government's executive, the President, that there is 863 00:47:25,560 --> 00:47:29,440 Speaker 3: no right to birthright citizenship, and it will go to 864 00:47:29,480 --> 00:47:32,839 Speaker 3: the Supreme Court. That's the truth of where it would go. 865 00:47:34,000 --> 00:47:39,360 Speaker 3: Kristen Welker says, oh, the Fourteenth Amendment says yes, that's true. 866 00:47:39,920 --> 00:47:43,759 Speaker 3: But the Fourteenth Amendment was written to ensure that slaves 867 00:47:43,760 --> 00:47:48,160 Speaker 3: were citizens, so it has never been applied to what 868 00:47:48,400 --> 00:47:53,840 Speaker 3: you said, which is the illegal intrigue of someone to 869 00:47:54,080 --> 00:47:58,920 Speaker 3: then create a birthright citizenship. I don't know what the 870 00:47:58,960 --> 00:48:02,280 Speaker 3: Supreme Court will say. No one knows what the Supreme 871 00:48:02,320 --> 00:48:06,200 Speaker 3: Court will say. But this has never been decided in 872 00:48:06,239 --> 00:48:10,200 Speaker 3: American law. And so I've said for a long time. 873 00:48:11,120 --> 00:48:13,800 Speaker 3: You can put up a wall, you can do whatever 874 00:48:13,920 --> 00:48:16,440 Speaker 3: you would like to try to restrict the flow of 875 00:48:16,480 --> 00:48:20,040 Speaker 3: illegal immigration. You're never gonna be able to completely stop it. 876 00:48:20,080 --> 00:48:23,240 Speaker 3: I just don't think you can because the incentive structure 877 00:48:23,280 --> 00:48:27,920 Speaker 3: is dual. One is you're going to get a situation 878 00:48:28,440 --> 00:48:30,960 Speaker 3: where everybody makes more money if they come into the 879 00:48:31,040 --> 00:48:31,600 Speaker 3: United States. 880 00:48:31,640 --> 00:48:32,560 Speaker 4: That's one incentive. 881 00:48:32,920 --> 00:48:37,359 Speaker 3: A second incentive is your kids can become citizens. If 882 00:48:37,400 --> 00:48:40,440 Speaker 3: we end birthright citizenship, that takes that away. Let me 883 00:48:40,480 --> 00:48:43,160 Speaker 3: also give you a little bit of how I would 884 00:48:43,160 --> 00:48:46,600 Speaker 3: analyze this as a Supreme Court justice. Do you know 885 00:48:46,800 --> 00:48:51,640 Speaker 3: why the idea of birthright citizenship even exists in the 886 00:48:51,719 --> 00:48:54,600 Speaker 3: United States? Trump is right that it's rare. You don't 887 00:48:54,640 --> 00:48:57,040 Speaker 3: become a citizen in China. You are about to have 888 00:48:57,080 --> 00:48:59,959 Speaker 3: a baby in April, Buck, you couldn't in the vast 889 00:49:00,120 --> 00:49:02,759 Speaker 3: majority of the country say oh, I'm an American, my 890 00:49:02,840 --> 00:49:05,440 Speaker 3: wife's an American. I want to put her on a 891 00:49:05,520 --> 00:49:09,640 Speaker 3: plane and send her to country. Why to become a 892 00:49:09,719 --> 00:49:14,120 Speaker 3: double citizen that baby, Because it's not permitted in most 893 00:49:14,160 --> 00:49:17,160 Speaker 3: of the rest of the country. The only reason birthright 894 00:49:17,239 --> 00:49:21,759 Speaker 3: citizenship exists in the United States today is a vestige, 895 00:49:21,800 --> 00:49:26,200 Speaker 3: a relic of the colonial era, where if you got 896 00:49:26,239 --> 00:49:29,919 Speaker 3: on a ship and you sent somebody from England, let's say, 897 00:49:29,960 --> 00:49:33,960 Speaker 3: to the colonies in the United States, the people who 898 00:49:34,000 --> 00:49:36,640 Speaker 3: moved here wanted to be sure that their kids were 899 00:49:36,680 --> 00:49:40,520 Speaker 3: still British subjects. That is, if you were going to 900 00:49:40,640 --> 00:49:46,120 Speaker 3: Charleston or Boston or New York City in sixteen eighty six, 901 00:49:46,800 --> 00:49:49,880 Speaker 3: you wanted to know that even if you had a family, 902 00:49:50,200 --> 00:49:52,399 Speaker 3: they could go back to England and they would all 903 00:49:52,440 --> 00:49:57,560 Speaker 3: still be British subjects. That's why today birthright citizenship is 904 00:49:57,640 --> 00:50:03,239 Speaker 3: mostly just in countries that were once European colonies. That's 905 00:50:03,280 --> 00:50:06,440 Speaker 3: why it's here, that's the vestige of it. What usually 906 00:50:06,520 --> 00:50:08,799 Speaker 3: exists and most of the rest of the world is 907 00:50:08,840 --> 00:50:12,439 Speaker 3: so called citizenship by blood, which is if your mom 908 00:50:12,560 --> 00:50:15,439 Speaker 3: or dad are citizens of a country and you are 909 00:50:15,440 --> 00:50:18,480 Speaker 3: born to them, you also then become a citizen of 910 00:50:18,520 --> 00:50:21,080 Speaker 3: that country, which I think everybody would agree with. No 911 00:50:21,160 --> 00:50:23,360 Speaker 3: matter where you're born, if you're born on a military 912 00:50:23,400 --> 00:50:26,520 Speaker 3: base in South Korea, you're still a citizen of the 913 00:50:26,640 --> 00:50:27,400 Speaker 3: United States. 914 00:50:27,480 --> 00:50:30,760 Speaker 1: Well, this is where subject to the jurisdiction thereof comes 915 00:50:30,800 --> 00:50:34,200 Speaker 1: into play and what the meaning of that is. And 916 00:50:34,719 --> 00:50:40,520 Speaker 1: when you look at they will oftentimes try to cite 917 00:50:40,160 --> 00:50:45,920 Speaker 1: the amendment that has to do with formally enslaved people 918 00:50:46,000 --> 00:50:49,520 Speaker 1: right fourteenth Amendment, and they'll say that's what Kristen Welker 919 00:50:49,640 --> 00:50:52,200 Speaker 1: tried to cite in that argument with Trump just now 920 00:50:52,200 --> 00:50:55,000 Speaker 1: that we've played this is always what they say. They say, 921 00:50:55,200 --> 00:50:56,400 Speaker 1: but this is very specifically. 922 00:50:56,440 --> 00:50:59,839 Speaker 2: The fourteenth Amendment was very specifically about making sure that 923 00:51:00,280 --> 00:51:04,040 Speaker 2: formerly enslaved people were citizens, full citizens under the. 924 00:51:03,960 --> 00:51:05,400 Speaker 1: Constitution of the United States. 925 00:51:06,320 --> 00:51:10,080 Speaker 2: It was not intended so that you could have, for example, 926 00:51:10,800 --> 00:51:12,000 Speaker 2: Chinese nationals. 927 00:51:12,040 --> 00:51:13,839 Speaker 1: And I'm not making this up. This is a thing 928 00:51:13,880 --> 00:51:14,320 Speaker 1: that happens. 929 00:51:14,320 --> 00:51:16,320 Speaker 2: I've brought this up before, but I think it illustrates 930 00:51:16,440 --> 00:51:20,399 Speaker 2: very well the games that are played. Chinese national, you know, 931 00:51:20,600 --> 00:51:24,160 Speaker 2: eight or nine months pregnant, goes to California, stay specifically 932 00:51:24,160 --> 00:51:26,040 Speaker 2: at a hotel there that's meant to let the Chinese 933 00:51:26,080 --> 00:51:29,640 Speaker 2: national have the baby there, gets you know, citizenship papers, 934 00:51:29,680 --> 00:51:32,160 Speaker 2: goes back to China with their kid, and then when 935 00:51:32,160 --> 00:51:34,480 Speaker 2: they want their kid to go to school at Berkeley, 936 00:51:34,760 --> 00:51:36,560 Speaker 2: they get to be a US citizen and getting in 937 00:51:36,560 --> 00:51:40,480 Speaker 2: state tuition. I mean, these this is absurd, right, I 938 00:51:40,480 --> 00:51:42,400 Speaker 2: mean the way that it works now also would be 939 00:51:42,440 --> 00:51:44,080 Speaker 2: if you're a foreign national and you have a kid 940 00:51:44,120 --> 00:51:45,960 Speaker 2: here in America and then you go back to your 941 00:51:45,960 --> 00:51:48,320 Speaker 2: foreign national country, if you're here on a tourist visa, 942 00:51:48,480 --> 00:51:51,360 Speaker 2: at least then you'd be legal. That person is an 943 00:51:51,400 --> 00:51:54,120 Speaker 2: American and so you go back and you raise them 944 00:51:54,120 --> 00:51:57,280 Speaker 2: somewhere else. But you know, you as as the visitor, 945 00:51:57,320 --> 00:52:00,839 Speaker 2: have a different nationality, never a US citizenship, and that 946 00:52:01,000 --> 00:52:03,319 Speaker 2: now your kid is an American. And then you get 947 00:52:03,320 --> 00:52:05,960 Speaker 2: to illegals where the huge incentive. I mean, if if 948 00:52:06,000 --> 00:52:08,279 Speaker 2: somebody robbed the bank, meaning they broke you know, they 949 00:52:08,320 --> 00:52:10,160 Speaker 2: broke the law. Somebody robbed the bank play and they 950 00:52:10,200 --> 00:52:13,440 Speaker 2: gave one hundred thousand dollars to their kid, and they're like, no, no, no, 951 00:52:13,600 --> 00:52:15,120 Speaker 2: but this is for my kid's college tuition. 952 00:52:15,880 --> 00:52:17,279 Speaker 1: They would still take the money back. 953 00:52:18,040 --> 00:52:20,320 Speaker 2: You know, you're not supposed to be able to profit 954 00:52:20,480 --> 00:52:23,480 Speaker 2: from breaking the law. And people who are illegal, who 955 00:52:23,520 --> 00:52:26,799 Speaker 2: have children in this country who are granted citizenship are 956 00:52:26,880 --> 00:52:29,560 Speaker 2: profiting from breaking the law. That is just a reality. 957 00:52:29,560 --> 00:52:32,600 Speaker 2: That is a fact. And this is why Trump taking 958 00:52:32,640 --> 00:52:34,840 Speaker 2: this on there. There is going to be a court 959 00:52:34,880 --> 00:52:37,160 Speaker 2: battle over it. There's going to be a lot of 960 00:52:37,320 --> 00:52:40,760 Speaker 2: you know, just freak out gnashing of teeth, all this stuff. 961 00:52:41,000 --> 00:52:44,279 Speaker 2: But ultimately it's time the American people faced up to 962 00:52:44,320 --> 00:52:47,080 Speaker 2: this question and we decide whether or not we're going 963 00:52:47,120 --> 00:52:49,480 Speaker 2: to allow the gaming of the system to continue in 964 00:52:49,480 --> 00:52:49,879 Speaker 2: this way. 965 00:52:51,360 --> 00:52:53,640 Speaker 3: I think it should be a day one executive order 966 00:52:53,680 --> 00:52:56,759 Speaker 3: that Trump puts into place. To your point on the 967 00:52:56,800 --> 00:52:59,800 Speaker 3: Fourteenth Amendment, I can't tell you what the Supreme Court's 968 00:52:59,800 --> 00:53:02,800 Speaker 3: got to say officially on this executive order, because I 969 00:53:02,800 --> 00:53:04,439 Speaker 3: don't know what the executive order is going to read. 970 00:53:04,880 --> 00:53:07,040 Speaker 3: I can tell you the Supreme Court is not going 971 00:53:07,120 --> 00:53:11,560 Speaker 3: to buy the Fourteenth Amendment argument, because the majority of 972 00:53:11,600 --> 00:53:15,399 Speaker 3: the Supreme Court today would look at the decision made 973 00:53:15,400 --> 00:53:18,280 Speaker 3: in the Fourteenth Amendment and they would say, quite clearly, 974 00:53:18,800 --> 00:53:22,040 Speaker 3: the intent here was, as you said, and I said, 975 00:53:22,440 --> 00:53:25,759 Speaker 3: to deal with former slaves and make it clear that 976 00:53:25,760 --> 00:53:29,160 Speaker 3: they are full citizens of the United States. It was 977 00:53:29,239 --> 00:53:33,640 Speaker 3: not to determine how illegal immigrants who come to the 978 00:53:33,760 --> 00:53:38,080 Speaker 3: United States and have children should be treated. Because remember Buck, 979 00:53:38,480 --> 00:53:42,719 Speaker 3: in eighteen sixty five or eighteen sixty eight, whatever year 980 00:53:42,800 --> 00:53:45,520 Speaker 3: the Fourteenth Amendment ended up being ratified, I don't remember 981 00:53:45,560 --> 00:53:46,840 Speaker 3: off the top of my head. 982 00:53:47,480 --> 00:53:50,080 Speaker 4: You didn't have an illegal immigration problem. 983 00:53:49,880 --> 00:53:53,480 Speaker 3: Because it was really, really hard, by and large to 984 00:53:53,520 --> 00:53:57,279 Speaker 3: get to this country. So you couldn't just have ten 985 00:53:57,320 --> 00:53:59,640 Speaker 3: million people decide that they were going to come here 986 00:53:59,640 --> 00:54:04,080 Speaker 3: and meet The population was much less transient. You didn't 987 00:54:04,120 --> 00:54:06,320 Speaker 3: have the ability of people from one hundred and eighty 988 00:54:06,400 --> 00:54:08,880 Speaker 3: countries to get on an airplane, fly to Mexico and 989 00:54:08,920 --> 00:54:12,360 Speaker 3: walk across our southern border. So what's important here is 990 00:54:12,840 --> 00:54:18,160 Speaker 3: Trump merely taking the act turns this into a legitimate, 991 00:54:18,600 --> 00:54:22,719 Speaker 3: forthright political debate that everyone should be weighing in on. 992 00:54:22,920 --> 00:54:25,040 Speaker 3: And I happened to think, what do you think the 993 00:54:25,120 --> 00:54:30,400 Speaker 3: percentages would be of Americans that would oppose birthright citizenship 994 00:54:30,400 --> 00:54:33,080 Speaker 3: at this day and time. I think it's like sixty 995 00:54:33,239 --> 00:54:36,719 Speaker 3: forty because Americans don't like to see people taking advantage 996 00:54:36,760 --> 00:54:39,880 Speaker 3: of our laws. Yeah, I think that you would have 997 00:54:39,920 --> 00:54:43,759 Speaker 3: a majority of American support ending this process. I think 998 00:54:43,800 --> 00:54:47,080 Speaker 3: where it becomes a lot harder politically is on the 999 00:54:47,640 --> 00:54:49,600 Speaker 3: what about those I don't think you're going to be 1000 00:54:49,640 --> 00:54:52,839 Speaker 3: able to strip citizenship from people who have citizenship, don't. 1001 00:54:52,840 --> 00:54:54,080 Speaker 1: I don't see that happening. 1002 00:54:55,520 --> 00:55:00,160 Speaker 2: Trump spoke about this when he talked about the Dream 1003 00:55:00,400 --> 00:55:02,279 Speaker 2: for example, and how he's going to sort of how 1004 00:55:02,320 --> 00:55:04,759 Speaker 2: he's going to treat families overall. This has cut ten. 1005 00:55:06,880 --> 00:55:09,720 Speaker 2: He got you gotta hear this. This is what Trump 1006 00:55:09,800 --> 00:55:12,120 Speaker 2: was saying about how this plays out. This has cut ten. 1007 00:55:12,200 --> 00:55:13,200 Speaker 2: Listen to the man himself. 1008 00:55:13,360 --> 00:55:16,560 Speaker 11: Four million families in America who have mixed immigration status. 1009 00:55:16,600 --> 00:55:19,200 Speaker 11: So I'm talking about parents who might be here illegally, 1010 00:55:19,239 --> 00:55:21,600 Speaker 11: but the kids are here legally. 1011 00:55:21,920 --> 00:55:23,600 Speaker 9: Your borders are talking about separation. 1012 00:55:23,880 --> 00:55:26,160 Speaker 11: Yeah, well, there are two aspects to this. Your border 1013 00:55:26,280 --> 00:55:28,719 Speaker 11: Zara tom Hommet said, they can be deported together. Is 1014 00:55:28,760 --> 00:55:29,319 Speaker 11: that the plan? 1015 00:55:29,440 --> 00:55:32,279 Speaker 9: That way you keep the foot Well, I don't want 1016 00:55:32,320 --> 00:55:34,160 Speaker 9: to be breaking up families. So the only way you 1017 00:55:34,160 --> 00:55:36,240 Speaker 9: don't break up the family is you keep them together, 1018 00:55:36,320 --> 00:55:37,479 Speaker 9: and you have to send them all. 1019 00:55:37,400 --> 00:55:40,359 Speaker 11: Back, even kids who are here legally, Well, what. 1020 00:55:40,360 --> 00:55:41,640 Speaker 9: You're going to do if they want to stay with 1021 00:55:41,640 --> 00:55:43,960 Speaker 9: the father. Look, we have to have rules and regulations. 1022 00:55:44,000 --> 00:55:46,279 Speaker 9: You can always find something out, like you know, this 1023 00:55:46,320 --> 00:55:48,759 Speaker 9: doesn't work, that doesn't work. I'll tell you what's going 1024 00:55:48,840 --> 00:55:52,160 Speaker 9: to be horrible When we take a wonderful young woman 1025 00:55:52,800 --> 00:55:56,640 Speaker 9: who's with a criminal, and they show the woman and 1026 00:55:56,719 --> 00:55:59,840 Speaker 9: she could stay by the law, but they show the 1027 00:56:00,000 --> 00:56:03,960 Speaker 9: woman being taken out or they want her out, and 1028 00:56:04,280 --> 00:56:06,759 Speaker 9: your cameras are focused on her as she's crying, as 1029 00:56:06,760 --> 00:56:09,239 Speaker 9: she's being taken out of our country, and then the 1030 00:56:09,280 --> 00:56:12,120 Speaker 9: public turns against us. But we have to do our job. 1031 00:56:14,200 --> 00:56:17,759 Speaker 3: Trump's already telling you exactly how this is going to go. Yes, 1032 00:56:17,960 --> 00:56:20,120 Speaker 3: that's what's going to happen, Buck. They're going to find 1033 00:56:20,680 --> 00:56:25,480 Speaker 3: the three or four most egregious examples of deportation and 1034 00:56:25,520 --> 00:56:28,880 Speaker 3: they're going to run those as if it is representative 1035 00:56:29,040 --> 00:56:31,759 Speaker 3: of everybody that's being taken out of the country. This 1036 00:56:31,800 --> 00:56:34,000 Speaker 3: is where I think the media is the most dishonest. 1037 00:56:34,440 --> 00:56:38,120 Speaker 3: Is they find an anecdote that is not representative of 1038 00:56:38,200 --> 00:56:42,879 Speaker 3: the larger significant story, and they use the anecdote as 1039 00:56:42,880 --> 00:56:46,600 Speaker 3: a stand in to represent everything that's actually going on. 1040 00:56:47,160 --> 00:56:50,800 Speaker 3: This is to me, really how journalists wield their power. 1041 00:56:51,360 --> 00:56:55,320 Speaker 3: They use the anecdote which isn't representative of the larger issue, 1042 00:56:55,800 --> 00:56:58,240 Speaker 3: and they just drive at home so that you only 1043 00:56:58,320 --> 00:57:01,400 Speaker 3: know one or two names, but that that's supposed to 1044 00:57:01,440 --> 00:57:04,799 Speaker 3: be the representation for why Trump is so evil, And 1045 00:57:04,840 --> 00:57:08,160 Speaker 3: he's basically telling you in advance. Trump is exactly how 1046 00:57:08,200 --> 00:57:10,120 Speaker 3: this is going to play out. He knows that he's 1047 00:57:10,120 --> 00:57:12,920 Speaker 3: smart when it comes to media and understanding how the media. 1048 00:57:12,719 --> 00:57:15,919 Speaker 1: Moves, and this is if he follows through. 1049 00:57:15,960 --> 00:57:20,200 Speaker 2: Clay, I believe this is where the left rallies and 1050 00:57:20,440 --> 00:57:22,840 Speaker 2: on exactly what you're talking about. This is the It 1051 00:57:22,880 --> 00:57:27,160 Speaker 2: gives them the sense of immediacy, you know. 1052 00:57:27,400 --> 00:57:32,840 Speaker 3: Sanctimony, which is what they love moral superiority more than anything. 1053 00:57:33,560 --> 00:57:36,040 Speaker 2: Absolutely, that's what I think is going to be their 1054 00:57:36,720 --> 00:57:37,640 Speaker 2: rallying point. 1055 00:57:37,640 --> 00:57:40,919 Speaker 1: They're rallying cry. But we'll see how this one all goes. 1056 00:57:42,200 --> 00:57:45,600 Speaker 2: Imagine a young woman who is facing an unplanned pregnancy 1057 00:57:45,600 --> 00:57:48,560 Speaker 2: and who's unsure of what to do, and she's searching 1058 00:57:48,600 --> 00:57:52,000 Speaker 2: for support. As you know society these days, these big 1059 00:57:52,040 --> 00:57:55,160 Speaker 2: pro abortion organizations out there, most of the media is 1060 00:57:55,200 --> 00:57:58,760 Speaker 2: so pro abortion. She's hearing all these voices. What can 1061 00:57:58,800 --> 00:58:02,439 Speaker 2: be done to help her choose life. This is where 1062 00:58:02,440 --> 00:58:07,080 Speaker 2: the preborn ministries come in. They operate preborn clinics nationwide. 1063 00:58:07,120 --> 00:58:09,280 Speaker 2: Every one of these locations is set up to welcome 1064 00:58:09,320 --> 00:58:12,400 Speaker 2: these mothers to be and provide hope and support and 1065 00:58:12,480 --> 00:58:14,560 Speaker 2: help them get to know their unborn child with a 1066 00:58:14,600 --> 00:58:17,440 Speaker 2: gift of an ultrasound. So often a woman meeting her 1067 00:58:17,520 --> 00:58:20,800 Speaker 2: unborn baby via an ultrasound sees the movements within her. 1068 00:58:20,840 --> 00:58:23,439 Speaker 2: Here's the heartbeat of that baby, and it makes all 1069 00:58:23,520 --> 00:58:27,200 Speaker 2: the difference in her choice of life. And one of 1070 00:58:27,240 --> 00:58:30,440 Speaker 2: these women was Kelsey. She found herself with an unplanned pregnancy. 1071 00:58:30,560 --> 00:58:33,320 Speaker 2: Kelsey had already had one abortion, and she promised God 1072 00:58:33,360 --> 00:58:36,400 Speaker 2: she would never have another. One, but sometimes life happens. 1073 00:58:36,680 --> 00:58:39,880 Speaker 2: Kelsey and her partner found a way with a Preborn 1074 00:58:40,000 --> 00:58:42,560 Speaker 2: Network clinic. From the moment they walked in, they were 1075 00:58:42,600 --> 00:58:46,720 Speaker 2: overwhelmed by love and introduced her to her baby via sonogram. 1076 00:58:47,320 --> 00:58:50,240 Speaker 2: This Christmas, you have an opportunity to share that same 1077 00:58:50,400 --> 00:58:53,200 Speaker 2: gift with a pregnant mother and her unborn baby.
