1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,320 Speaker 1: Welcome to today's edition of the Clay Travis and Buck 2 00:00:03,360 --> 00:00:08,039 Speaker 1: Sexton Show podcast. Welcome in Clay Travis Buck Sexton Show. 3 00:00:08,160 --> 00:00:12,520 Speaker 1: We are out at Bedminster Golf Course. I played it 4 00:00:12,680 --> 00:00:15,680 Speaker 1: yesterday with the man who was sitting next to us 5 00:00:15,720 --> 00:00:19,759 Speaker 1: and has turned this into an absolutely illustrious place. And 6 00:00:19,840 --> 00:00:23,480 Speaker 1: a little over an hour shotguns start with the Live 7 00:00:23,720 --> 00:00:27,400 Speaker 1: Golf Tour President Trump. First of all, thanks for having 8 00:00:27,440 --> 00:00:30,560 Speaker 1: Buck and I out here. Second, what did you think 9 00:00:30,840 --> 00:00:34,440 Speaker 1: of your performance on the course, Howard Bryson Deshambo. How 10 00:00:34,560 --> 00:00:37,040 Speaker 1: is Dustin Johnson? How do you break down the field 11 00:00:37,159 --> 00:00:40,040 Speaker 1: here as we're a little over hour till it's underway. Well, 12 00:00:40,040 --> 00:00:42,560 Speaker 1: those two are great, and I mean anybody here is 13 00:00:42,880 --> 00:00:45,840 Speaker 1: really good. They went and they pick in the cream 14 00:00:45,840 --> 00:00:48,560 Speaker 1: of the crop and it's very interesting. But you have 15 00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:51,840 Speaker 1: a lot of great players see Lee Westwood and Ian 16 00:00:51,880 --> 00:00:57,360 Speaker 1: Poulter and just a lot of big names. It's incredible 17 00:00:57,400 --> 00:00:59,200 Speaker 1: what they've done in a very short period of time. 18 00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:01,400 Speaker 1: I think Dustin is a very big one because if 19 00:01:01,400 --> 00:01:04,360 Speaker 1: you look over the last probably twelve to fifteen years, 20 00:01:04,440 --> 00:01:06,720 Speaker 1: Dustin Johnson, I think he's won every year since he's 21 00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:09,880 Speaker 1: been out close to setting a record right for the 22 00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:13,440 Speaker 1: winning each year. That's very tough when you include injury 23 00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:16,120 Speaker 1: and everything else. That's stuff, but that was big. But 24 00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:19,520 Speaker 1: it's very hot. You see how the fans are all 25 00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:22,600 Speaker 1: over the place, and you know there's controversy, and controversy 26 00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:27,640 Speaker 1: sometimes brings that not good or bad. But there is controversy. 27 00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:31,039 Speaker 1: Perhaps there shouldn't be. I don't think there should be. 28 00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:34,080 Speaker 1: When Joe Biden's showing up doing fift pounds in Saudi Arabia, 29 00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:36,880 Speaker 1: I don't know how you can't have in America. Well, 30 00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:40,720 Speaker 1: it's amazing, but actually a lot of money goes to charity, 31 00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:42,679 Speaker 1: A lot of money goes to a lot of good causes. 32 00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:45,640 Speaker 1: And if you look at Saudi Arabia, the job they've done, 33 00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:48,720 Speaker 1: they're invested in probably half the countries in this country. 34 00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:51,400 Speaker 1: So I guess that means a lot of people they 35 00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:55,000 Speaker 1: shouldn't be doing it right. So they put a tremendous 36 00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:58,040 Speaker 1: amount of money into this tournament, but into this whole 37 00:01:58,040 --> 00:01:59,960 Speaker 1: concept of what they're doing, and I think they'll be 38 00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:03,240 Speaker 1: very successful. I mean, they have unlimited funds and they have, 39 00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:06,720 Speaker 1: you know, thanks to Biden to a certain extent, and 40 00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:08,919 Speaker 1: a lot of people because oil has never been so 41 00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:13,080 Speaker 1: expensive as it really it is right now, and that's 42 00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:16,080 Speaker 1: not a good thing. But it's good for Saudi Arabian, 43 00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:18,960 Speaker 1: good for other countries. But they've they've really put their 44 00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:23,160 Speaker 1: heart into this. They love the concept of it, they 45 00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:25,680 Speaker 1: love charity they do they give a lot of money 46 00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:29,079 Speaker 1: to charity, and it seems to be working very well 47 00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:33,560 Speaker 1: a lot of people. Mister President. Obviously, the news yesterday 48 00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:35,880 Speaker 1: about a recession, a lot of us were expecting, and 49 00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:38,640 Speaker 1: I'm sure you were expecting it. It's pretty pretty clear 50 00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:41,040 Speaker 1: that's where it was heading. I'm sure you've also seen 51 00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:44,400 Speaker 1: the White House try to say that recession doesn't mean recession, 52 00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:47,840 Speaker 1: that things are better than people realize. Two things, One, 53 00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:50,799 Speaker 1: is this even worse than you thought it would be 54 00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:54,720 Speaker 1: at this phase under the current leadership? And then what 55 00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:57,520 Speaker 1: would you start to do to turn things around? If 56 00:02:57,639 --> 00:02:59,359 Speaker 1: you know, if the presidents listen to this, what would 57 00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:04,080 Speaker 1: you say? So, we had the greatest economic machine in history, 58 00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:06,880 Speaker 1: and then we got hit with the COVID. It came 59 00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:09,920 Speaker 1: in from China, came in from the Wuhan labs, as 60 00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:11,840 Speaker 1: I've been saying right from the beginning, but it came 61 00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:14,200 Speaker 1: right in and we got hit. And then we did 62 00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:16,320 Speaker 1: it again, and we actually ended up with a highest 63 00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:19,920 Speaker 1: stock market then before. But we had the greatest economic 64 00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:22,800 Speaker 1: machine ever. We were energy independent, and we were just 65 00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:25,360 Speaker 1: about being energy dominant. We would have been bigger than 66 00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:29,040 Speaker 1: Saudi Arabia and Russia put together, and you could add 67 00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:31,440 Speaker 1: other countries in there too. We were bigger than anyone 68 00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:34,079 Speaker 1: and we would have been double the size. We did 69 00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:37,560 Speaker 1: something that nobody thought was possible, and we had dollar 70 00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:40,680 Speaker 1: eighty seven. Don't forget. You can't really go in January twentieth. 71 00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:42,080 Speaker 1: You have to go before that. You have to go 72 00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:46,480 Speaker 1: election day. But we had dollar eighty seven gasoline. Everything 73 00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:49,400 Speaker 1: was going and perfectly, and then we had an election 74 00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:53,640 Speaker 1: where a lot of things were done very very improperly, 75 00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:57,080 Speaker 1: and they're being found out right now as we speak, 76 00:03:57,120 --> 00:03:59,800 Speaker 1: I mean literally as we speak. And now we have 77 00:03:59,840 --> 00:04:02,880 Speaker 1: a country that's a totally different country. We're not respected 78 00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:06,600 Speaker 1: by anybody. We're being laughed at and scorned. We have 79 00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:11,080 Speaker 1: gasoline that's now at five dollars, we're going to be 80 00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:13,720 Speaker 1: one hundred and fifty dollars a barrel. I had it 81 00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:16,520 Speaker 1: down to less than thirty dollars a barrel. Actually, for 82 00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:18,200 Speaker 1: a period of time, I had it down to nothing. 83 00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:22,000 Speaker 1: If they were so, they were no no for a 84 00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:24,719 Speaker 1: period of time. If you this was no good for 85 00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:27,120 Speaker 1: Walster because you had to take the oil with you. Okay, 86 00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:29,440 Speaker 1: so they're not into that, they're into trading paper. But 87 00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:32,480 Speaker 1: if you took a barrel of oil, they would give 88 00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:34,839 Speaker 1: you thirty seven dollars, so you'd walk away with a 89 00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:37,400 Speaker 1: barrel of oil plus thirty. So that's where we had. Now. 90 00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:39,160 Speaker 1: I had to do something about that because the oil 91 00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:43,159 Speaker 1: companies wouldn't have lasted, but we had it at about 92 00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:46,040 Speaker 1: probably forty is a perfect They could make some money 93 00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:49,320 Speaker 1: and the gasoline would be inexpensive. And I filled up 94 00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:53,719 Speaker 1: the national reserves, these strategic reserves seventy five million barrels. 95 00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:56,279 Speaker 1: We got seventy five million barrels of oil during that 96 00:04:56,320 --> 00:04:59,599 Speaker 1: period of time. We paid almost nothing for it. We 97 00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:03,200 Speaker 1: were ever so good as that period, and then it's 98 00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:06,839 Speaker 1: just just been blown. The whole thing's been blown now. 99 00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:10,200 Speaker 1: I think the borders. Obviously it started with the borders, 100 00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:12,640 Speaker 1: but I think we're really started in terms of the 101 00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:15,560 Speaker 1: psychology of how bad we are. Is the way they 102 00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:20,560 Speaker 1: withdrew from Afghanistan, giving the Taliban seventy I mean eighty 103 00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:23,640 Speaker 1: five billion dollars worth of equipment, you know, all brand new, 104 00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:29,000 Speaker 1: mostly brand new trucks, seventy thousand trucks. What used parking 105 00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:30,960 Speaker 1: lot take the biggest one in the world. They don't 106 00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:35,840 Speaker 1: have seventy thousand of anything, let alone seventy thousand armor 107 00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:39,159 Speaker 1: plated trucks and cars and everything else, the best, the 108 00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:42,560 Speaker 1: best stuff in the world. The goggles you know, now 109 00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:45,039 Speaker 1: they can fight at night because we gave them better 110 00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:47,240 Speaker 1: than we have because they're the new models right all 111 00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:51,240 Speaker 1: right out of the box, and seven hundred thousand rifles 112 00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:54,800 Speaker 1: and guns and seven hundred thousand they're actually one of 113 00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:57,480 Speaker 1: the largest arms dealer. Heard they're the second largest arms 114 00:05:57,520 --> 00:06:00,359 Speaker 1: dealer in the world now because they're selling watch of 115 00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:02,080 Speaker 1: that equipment. And then we had the planes and the 116 00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:05,520 Speaker 1: tanks and everything else that we gave up, not even conceivable. 117 00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:07,880 Speaker 1: We took our military at first we had seventy We 118 00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:11,680 Speaker 1: had thirteen dead soldiers and many really badly injured during 119 00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:15,719 Speaker 1: that whole situation, and we left American hostages behind. To 120 00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:19,040 Speaker 1: this day, there were American hostages. I think there's never 121 00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:22,599 Speaker 1: been a time like that, and I believe that that's 122 00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:24,760 Speaker 1: when putin. There was no way that Putin was going 123 00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:27,000 Speaker 1: into Ukraine with me that I can say. In fact, 124 00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:31,640 Speaker 1: even people that are opposed to Trump. I was watching 125 00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:34,680 Speaker 1: Sleepy Eyes checked Todd a couple of months ago. He 126 00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:38,599 Speaker 1: said he was interviewing the Secretary of State and saying, well, 127 00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:40,840 Speaker 1: how come this didn't happen when Trump was here for 128 00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:43,119 Speaker 1: four years? It didn't happen. It was never even thought 129 00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:45,719 Speaker 1: to happen, right, nobody even thought it was. I think 130 00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:50,120 Speaker 1: when he saw what happened in Afghanistan, he said, this 131 00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:52,880 Speaker 1: is my chance it would have never happened. And I 132 00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:54,960 Speaker 1: think you're going to have a problem with China too, 133 00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:57,640 Speaker 1: because China is seeing the weakness and now you have 134 00:06:57,680 --> 00:06:59,840 Speaker 1: Pelosi in as she always has to stick her fingers 135 00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:01,520 Speaker 1: to things. I mean, do you think she should go 136 00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:03,719 Speaker 1: to Taiwan? Well, I think she shouldn't have started it 137 00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:06,520 Speaker 1: for one thing, And now they're sort of in a 138 00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:09,239 Speaker 1: bad position because if she doesn't go, it looks weak, 139 00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:11,840 Speaker 1: and if she does go, it looks stupid. So you 140 00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:13,720 Speaker 1: could look either stupid or you could look weak. But 141 00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:15,640 Speaker 1: would you have made by the way, the offer for 142 00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:18,920 Speaker 1: Brittany Grinder and Victor Bout that Russia has put forward 143 00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:22,560 Speaker 1: where they'll trade this arms dealers twenty five years for 144 00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:25,080 Speaker 1: arms dealing all over the world for the w NBA 145 00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:28,360 Speaker 1: player and also believe a former marine is being held there. 146 00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:31,880 Speaker 1: She went in there loaded up with drugs into a 147 00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:35,440 Speaker 1: hostile territory where they're very vigilant about drugs. They don't 148 00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:39,320 Speaker 1: like drugs. And she got caught, and now we're supposed 149 00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:40,960 Speaker 1: to get her and she makes a you know, a 150 00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:43,520 Speaker 1: lot of money, I guess, but we're supposed to get 151 00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:47,880 Speaker 1: her out for a absolute killer and one of the 152 00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:51,520 Speaker 1: biggest arms dealers in the world, killed many Americans, killed 153 00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:54,400 Speaker 1: many people, and he's going to get a free card, 154 00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:58,440 Speaker 1: and we're going to get her. She knew you don't 155 00:07:58,440 --> 00:08:00,960 Speaker 1: go in there loaded up with drugs. Since she admitted it, 156 00:08:01,560 --> 00:08:04,680 Speaker 1: I assumed she admitted it without too much force because 157 00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:08,480 Speaker 1: it is what it is, and it certainly doesn't seem 158 00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:11,760 Speaker 1: like a very good trade, does it. He's an absolute 159 00:08:11,760 --> 00:08:13,520 Speaker 1: one of the worst in the world. And he's going 160 00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:18,960 Speaker 1: to be given his freedom because a potentially spoiled person 161 00:08:19,080 --> 00:08:21,960 Speaker 1: goes into Russia loaded up with drugs. And what do 162 00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:25,080 Speaker 1: you think of Zelenski doing a Vogue cover shoot with 163 00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:28,239 Speaker 1: his wife recently did you see some of the photos 164 00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:31,240 Speaker 1: about it. I haven't seen that, but that's, you know, 165 00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:34,959 Speaker 1: probably not the greatest thing. No, I would say it's 166 00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:39,439 Speaker 1: not the greatest thing. Look, that should would have never happened. 167 00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:41,719 Speaker 1: We wouldn't have had to even negotiate something. You know. 168 00:08:41,800 --> 00:08:43,480 Speaker 1: Somebody said, well, what would you have Guys said, we 169 00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:45,760 Speaker 1: wouldn't have had to do anything. He wouldn't have done 170 00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:50,040 Speaker 1: it with me. He wouldn't have done it. At a minimum, 171 00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:53,120 Speaker 1: they should have made a deal. They could have given 172 00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:56,480 Speaker 1: up CRIMEA. They could have done something with NATO. Okay, 173 00:08:56,480 --> 00:08:59,480 Speaker 1: we're not going to join NATO, and you'd have a country. 174 00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:02,680 Speaker 1: Because I've believe Putin wanted to make a deal, and 175 00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:05,640 Speaker 1: now I don't think he wants to make a deal. 176 00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:07,959 Speaker 1: I think it's much tougher to make a deal. And 177 00:09:08,040 --> 00:09:10,240 Speaker 1: he's blowing up the whole place. I mean, he'll take 178 00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:13,960 Speaker 1: over the whole place. And it's very very sad to 179 00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:18,160 Speaker 1: watch what happened with Ukraine, very very sad. I think 180 00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:19,880 Speaker 1: if they did a cover shot, is that true? I 181 00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:24,319 Speaker 1: haven't seen a cover shot, extensive video, everything still shots. 182 00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:26,880 Speaker 1: It really A lot of people said in the middle 183 00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:29,120 Speaker 1: of a war, it feels like a strange move doesn't 184 00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:30,920 Speaker 1: sound very good. Now they have to make a deal. 185 00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:32,880 Speaker 1: They have to make a deal before everything's going to 186 00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:35,719 Speaker 1: be You have hundreds of thousands of people that are 187 00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:38,240 Speaker 1: dead now and maimed, so many, you know, putin, when 188 00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:40,679 Speaker 1: do you think he'd stop when he gets the whole country, 189 00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:42,400 Speaker 1: when he takes half of Ukraine, what do you think 190 00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:43,800 Speaker 1: he wants to Well, I think you'd rather have the 191 00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:45,880 Speaker 1: whole country. I mean now that he started, I don't 192 00:09:45,880 --> 00:09:47,800 Speaker 1: think he ever intended to start. I think that was 193 00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:50,720 Speaker 1: a great negotiation. He went, he put troops on the board, 194 00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:55,240 Speaker 1: and I think it was a great negotiation. I said, well, 195 00:09:55,400 --> 00:09:57,400 Speaker 1: he's a good negotiator. I never thought he was going 196 00:09:57,480 --> 00:10:00,480 Speaker 1: to go and he would have never He knew that 197 00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:03,000 Speaker 1: he would have been under attack, and he understood that, 198 00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:06,720 Speaker 1: and I told him that, and it would have never happened. 199 00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:09,400 Speaker 1: And to see what's happened now, and you have hundreds 200 00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:11,600 Speaker 1: of thousands of people. You may have millions of people, 201 00:10:11,640 --> 00:10:14,079 Speaker 1: but you have hundreds. When you have buildings like that 202 00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:16,320 Speaker 1: that are blown up, those are big apartment houses. I 203 00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:18,680 Speaker 1: know a lot about apartment houses. Those are big buildings 204 00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:20,840 Speaker 1: that a lot of people didn't leave and when you 205 00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:23,480 Speaker 1: look at those buildings totally burned out, Those people are 206 00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:26,320 Speaker 1: all dead. You lost a lot of people. That's a 207 00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:29,400 Speaker 1: deal that could have been settled. Should have never happened, 208 00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:31,440 Speaker 1: but if it was going to happen, it could have 209 00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:34,560 Speaker 1: been settled. And he moved two hundred thousand troops to 210 00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:38,480 Speaker 1: the border to negotiate, and he couldn't make a deal. 211 00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:41,319 Speaker 1: And now I'm not sure you can make a deal 212 00:10:41,400 --> 00:10:44,040 Speaker 1: very easily. You understand that. Yeah, of course. Joe Biden 213 00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:49,800 Speaker 1: obviously has been a disaster. Almost uniformly seventy five recent 214 00:10:49,840 --> 00:10:53,840 Speaker 1: poll of Democrats don't even want him to run. Do 215 00:10:53,920 --> 00:10:56,960 Speaker 1: you think he's going to run? Do you want to 216 00:10:57,040 --> 00:10:59,360 Speaker 1: run against him? If he does run, does that make 217 00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:02,120 Speaker 1: you more less likely to get involved? Does it matter 218 00:11:02,160 --> 00:11:04,840 Speaker 1: who the Democrats have running? Well? I beat him last 219 00:11:04,840 --> 00:11:07,640 Speaker 1: time by a lot. Okay, it was a rigged and 220 00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:10,960 Speaker 1: stolen election. We beat him by a lot. I'd like 221 00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:15,280 Speaker 1: to certainly run against him. I guess some people would 222 00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:19,000 Speaker 1: say you're even better off running against Kamala if that's possible. 223 00:11:19,559 --> 00:11:23,520 Speaker 1: That's some combination. But I have a feeling he's not 224 00:11:23,640 --> 00:11:26,320 Speaker 1: going to I just don't I don't see it, you know, 225 00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:29,080 Speaker 1: you see the same things as I do, and we 226 00:11:29,160 --> 00:11:31,240 Speaker 1: all want to be respectful, We want to be nice. 227 00:11:31,320 --> 00:11:34,400 Speaker 1: But I can't imagine he does it. But maybe he does. 228 00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:37,880 Speaker 1: But the one thing I have seen is, you know, 229 00:11:37,920 --> 00:11:41,560 Speaker 1: he was totally protected by the press for almost two years. 230 00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:44,160 Speaker 1: But over the last couple of weeks, I've seen very 231 00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:47,520 Speaker 1: negative stories come out and the press stories that were 232 00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:52,840 Speaker 1: unthinkable a year ago, unthinkable, they wouldn't have happened. You know, 233 00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:57,040 Speaker 1: they kept all of the Hunter stuff, probably possibly illegally. 234 00:11:57,080 --> 00:11:59,199 Speaker 1: You know, we're suing CNN, We're suing We're gonna be 235 00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:01,880 Speaker 1: suing a lot of different media outlets because of the 236 00:12:02,080 --> 00:12:04,000 Speaker 1: They use the word big lie, but it turned out 237 00:12:04,040 --> 00:12:07,079 Speaker 1: not to be the big lie. The proof is massive. 238 00:12:07,280 --> 00:12:08,800 Speaker 1: How do you think by the way they would have 239 00:12:08,840 --> 00:12:13,480 Speaker 1: treated your family or sons if they had done anything 240 00:12:13,559 --> 00:12:15,679 Speaker 1: like what Hunter has done, would have been Well, they 241 00:12:15,679 --> 00:12:19,480 Speaker 1: treat me that way anyway, and we're so clean, it's incredible. 242 00:12:20,520 --> 00:12:23,360 Speaker 1: Anything you do, it's oh, they treat you know, I 243 00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:25,800 Speaker 1: say Republicans, but't me more so, Look, I did something 244 00:12:25,840 --> 00:12:28,200 Speaker 1: that nobody thought was possible, and they just have gone 245 00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:32,880 Speaker 1: totally crazy. They say Trump arrangement syndrome and you know, 246 00:12:32,920 --> 00:12:36,080 Speaker 1: I don't like even using the term, but this they're crazy. 247 00:12:36,280 --> 00:12:40,400 Speaker 1: They've gone crazy, these people. They're weaponizing the DOJ and 248 00:12:40,400 --> 00:12:45,640 Speaker 1: they're weaponizing law enforcement. When you look at the difference, 249 00:12:45,640 --> 00:12:48,640 Speaker 1: it's so incredible. And this is also against Republicans, you know, 250 00:12:48,760 --> 00:12:52,200 Speaker 1: compare that with what happens to Democrats, and this is 251 00:12:52,240 --> 00:12:54,480 Speaker 1: deep seated. This has been going on for a long time, 252 00:12:54,520 --> 00:12:56,840 Speaker 1: for many, many years. What did you think when you 253 00:12:56,840 --> 00:13:00,400 Speaker 1: saw the Washington Post article earlier this week where they're 254 00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:06,440 Speaker 1: suggesting that Merrick Arland, the Attorney General, is seriously considering 255 00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:10,800 Speaker 1: and preparing a possible criminal indictment against you. I thought 256 00:13:10,840 --> 00:13:13,600 Speaker 1: it was ridiculous. I thought the story was ridiculous. I 257 00:13:13,640 --> 00:13:17,280 Speaker 1: haven't done anything wrong. In fact, the opposite, I'm the 258 00:13:17,320 --> 00:13:19,880 Speaker 1: one that's fighting for justice. I'm the one that's fighting 259 00:13:19,920 --> 00:13:24,560 Speaker 1: for the truth, so to speak. Because the election. I 260 00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:26,640 Speaker 1: have a right to talk about the election. Look at 261 00:13:27,080 --> 00:13:29,560 Speaker 1: Stacy Abrams is still talking about her elect Call her 262 00:13:29,559 --> 00:13:33,040 Speaker 1: the fake governor Georgia. Right, Yeah, Hillary Clinton talks about 263 00:13:33,040 --> 00:13:35,600 Speaker 1: the election all the time. Oh, the election with Russia. 264 00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:38,040 Speaker 1: She stole it. She's been saying it for years. Yeah, 265 00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:41,200 Speaker 1: I stole the election. And then but she's talking about 266 00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:43,920 Speaker 1: it for years. Nobody says anything when I say, oh, 267 00:13:43,960 --> 00:13:46,240 Speaker 1: that's and I have proof. I mean the stuff we have. 268 00:13:46,400 --> 00:13:48,719 Speaker 1: You'll see if you read that letter that was sent 269 00:13:48,760 --> 00:13:52,120 Speaker 1: to CNN, which I'm sure you guys have devoured. We 270 00:13:52,200 --> 00:13:54,840 Speaker 1: have many, many pages of all of the corruption, and 271 00:13:54,920 --> 00:13:56,520 Speaker 1: this is stuff, and they don't want to talk about it. 272 00:13:56,520 --> 00:13:58,760 Speaker 1: Nobody ever wants to talk about it. So the way 273 00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:00,959 Speaker 1: they're going to talk about it is in court because 274 00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:04,960 Speaker 1: what we found is just and this is determinative, you know, 275 00:14:05,040 --> 00:14:09,080 Speaker 1: determinative means it is would have changed far more. Yeah, 276 00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:11,520 Speaker 1: it's far more than you need. But one of the many, 277 00:14:11,559 --> 00:14:15,000 Speaker 1: many things that happened is that, and they admitted this. 278 00:14:15,360 --> 00:14:20,360 Speaker 1: They refused to talk about the corruption of Biden and 279 00:14:20,520 --> 00:14:23,400 Speaker 1: the Sun Hunter. Do you think, by the way, Clay 280 00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:25,560 Speaker 1: and I have a long standing bed on the air, 281 00:14:25,680 --> 00:14:31,320 Speaker 1: Clay believe will be indicted. I think that the system 282 00:14:31,360 --> 00:14:33,560 Speaker 1: will protect him at all costs. But I'm starting I 283 00:14:33,560 --> 00:14:36,480 Speaker 1: think you'll make a very inexpensive deal. I think that's 284 00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:38,920 Speaker 1: that's my argument. Yeah, I think they'll do that. I 285 00:14:38,920 --> 00:14:41,240 Speaker 1: think it's hard to you know, look, if this stuff 286 00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:44,920 Speaker 1: were with my family, or if this stuff were even 287 00:14:44,960 --> 00:14:49,400 Speaker 1: with your families. It would be a horrible, horrible result, 288 00:14:49,480 --> 00:14:52,480 Speaker 1: and it would have happened long ago. We remember the 289 00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:54,920 Speaker 1: emoluments clause articles. They were writing about how there were 290 00:14:54,960 --> 00:14:58,000 Speaker 1: foreign diplomats who were ordering cheeseburgers at the Trump hotel, 291 00:14:58,440 --> 00:15:01,160 Speaker 1: and so that's a constitutional viole la because maybe they 292 00:15:01,160 --> 00:15:03,280 Speaker 1: were buying influence in your foreign policy. I mean, I 293 00:15:03,320 --> 00:15:05,520 Speaker 1: remember those pieces. So we have some idea of what 294 00:15:05,560 --> 00:15:08,000 Speaker 1: they would do if it were a different administration. Now, 295 00:15:08,040 --> 00:15:10,400 Speaker 1: you know, I turned down deals that I could have made, 296 00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:12,760 Speaker 1: and and you know, frankly I should have made. Nobody 297 00:15:12,760 --> 00:15:15,280 Speaker 1: would have even said anything compared to when you look 298 00:15:15,280 --> 00:15:18,480 Speaker 1: at the Hyden with five Biden with five hundred thousand 299 00:15:18,480 --> 00:15:20,760 Speaker 1: dollars for a painting. How about that? You know, I'm 300 00:15:20,760 --> 00:15:26,080 Speaker 1: interviewing artist I'm supposed to do. He's very talented, very talent. 301 00:15:26,160 --> 00:15:27,840 Speaker 1: Now you have to see. So I'm supposed to do 302 00:15:27,920 --> 00:15:30,440 Speaker 1: a painting for the White House, and they've given me 303 00:15:30,480 --> 00:15:33,800 Speaker 1: a list of really great painters, very talented people. You know, 304 00:15:33,840 --> 00:15:36,440 Speaker 1: they do the presidential paintings. And we have that and 305 00:15:36,560 --> 00:15:38,480 Speaker 1: the other one where he's like standing in front of 306 00:15:38,480 --> 00:15:40,960 Speaker 1: the green Do you see that one? It's well I 307 00:15:40,960 --> 00:15:45,880 Speaker 1: hope he likes it. It's not picture, it's not very typical. 308 00:15:45,920 --> 00:15:49,280 Speaker 1: But that's okay. But you know, but I'm dealing with 309 00:15:49,360 --> 00:15:52,880 Speaker 1: some of these artists and they're unbelievably talented, and I 310 00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:55,920 Speaker 1: say how much, just out of how much? And they 311 00:15:55,960 --> 00:15:59,920 Speaker 1: give me praises that's a tiny fraction of five biden. 312 00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:03,480 Speaker 1: Oh he gets five hundred thousand. They get much less, okay, 313 00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:07,760 Speaker 1: like a fraction of that. And I just think it's incredible. 314 00:16:07,800 --> 00:16:10,680 Speaker 1: But you know, I could have done so many things. 315 00:16:10,760 --> 00:16:12,960 Speaker 1: I could if I wanted to, and I purposely we 316 00:16:13,040 --> 00:16:15,560 Speaker 1: didn't do business. It's sort of funny if somebody came 317 00:16:15,560 --> 00:16:17,880 Speaker 1: in from some foreign country and stayed at the hotel 318 00:16:17,880 --> 00:16:20,680 Speaker 1: in Washington, right, yeah, and they'd stay there and they'd 319 00:16:20,680 --> 00:16:22,640 Speaker 1: pay you five to six hundred bucks for a night. 320 00:16:23,040 --> 00:16:26,520 Speaker 1: There'd be a headline Trump except so many money, And 321 00:16:26,760 --> 00:16:29,760 Speaker 1: I believe you know, I've lost at least a billion, 322 00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:32,600 Speaker 1: and I expected to. It's nothing, but I'll bet you 323 00:16:32,600 --> 00:16:35,280 Speaker 1: I lost a billion two billion dollars certainly in terms 324 00:16:35,280 --> 00:16:37,320 Speaker 1: of money that I could have made if you just 325 00:16:37,480 --> 00:16:39,800 Speaker 1: run regular business and never got it. If I didn't, 326 00:16:39,880 --> 00:16:43,200 Speaker 1: if I just didn't do it, I'll bet it would 327 00:16:43,240 --> 00:16:46,120 Speaker 1: have been anywhere from a billion to two billion. Fact 328 00:16:46,120 --> 00:16:49,720 Speaker 1: Forbes said that I'm the only president, and I consider 329 00:16:49,760 --> 00:16:52,080 Speaker 1: it's a great compliment because it was said I was honest, 330 00:16:52,120 --> 00:16:54,560 Speaker 1: because I could have made a fortune as president. I 331 00:16:54,600 --> 00:16:56,600 Speaker 1: could have made I'm better than all of these people 332 00:16:56,640 --> 00:16:59,080 Speaker 1: that are making their money, and I could have made 333 00:16:59,080 --> 00:17:01,800 Speaker 1: a fortune. But I chose not to do it because 334 00:17:01,840 --> 00:17:04,240 Speaker 1: it's I thought it was inappropriate. I could have built, 335 00:17:04,280 --> 00:17:07,240 Speaker 1: and I could have built in Saudi Arabia. I could 336 00:17:07,280 --> 00:17:11,480 Speaker 1: have built in all sorts of countries, including Russia, including 337 00:17:11,640 --> 00:17:14,200 Speaker 1: any country you name. I could have built the nicest 338 00:17:14,320 --> 00:17:16,640 Speaker 1: buildings that I would have made the greatest land deal, 339 00:17:16,680 --> 00:17:18,400 Speaker 1: and I would have had them put up all the money. 340 00:17:18,840 --> 00:17:20,760 Speaker 1: I could have made a fortune. I chose not to 341 00:17:20,800 --> 00:17:23,800 Speaker 1: do that. And Forbes came out and said, well, Trump 342 00:17:23,840 --> 00:17:27,280 Speaker 1: lost at least six hundred million dollars doing this, and I, 343 00:17:27,520 --> 00:17:29,760 Speaker 1: you know that's probably I think it's on the low side, 344 00:17:29,800 --> 00:17:32,000 Speaker 1: but you know, like I, it's great. I have a 345 00:17:32,040 --> 00:17:34,639 Speaker 1: great company. I built a great, great company, and I 346 00:17:34,680 --> 00:17:37,760 Speaker 1: don't have to do that. But think of this, they 347 00:17:37,800 --> 00:17:40,840 Speaker 1: say six hundred million, I say it was more. But 348 00:17:40,960 --> 00:17:45,800 Speaker 1: if somebody pays for a five hundred dollars room. I'm 349 00:17:45,840 --> 00:17:50,640 Speaker 1: telling you the monuments. He had dinner, they had a party, 350 00:17:50,720 --> 00:17:54,119 Speaker 1: some country had a party at one of his hotels. 351 00:17:54,160 --> 00:17:56,760 Speaker 1: Incredible into the bar tab at Trump. I remember there 352 00:17:56,800 --> 00:17:58,480 Speaker 1: was a real article in the Washing Post the Trump 353 00:17:58,480 --> 00:18:01,399 Speaker 1: hotel bar tab for some play. It's involved some foreign 354 00:18:01,440 --> 00:18:03,159 Speaker 1: diplomats and they were saying, you know, this is a 355 00:18:03,800 --> 00:18:05,919 Speaker 1: was a violation of the emolument's clause. So they completely 356 00:18:05,960 --> 00:18:08,520 Speaker 1: lost their minds. Plus I gave up my salary, so 357 00:18:08,640 --> 00:18:10,680 Speaker 1: I didn't take a salary, and you know, I was 358 00:18:10,800 --> 00:18:12,960 Speaker 1: very surprised at that. I figured a lot of presidents 359 00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:15,080 Speaker 1: didn't take this salary. The only one they can find 360 00:18:15,080 --> 00:18:17,200 Speaker 1: out for sure is George Washington, and he got an 361 00:18:17,240 --> 00:18:19,600 Speaker 1: expense account. I think that actually, I don't know way 362 00:18:19,680 --> 00:18:23,639 Speaker 1: more than what he would George Washington supposedly it's a 363 00:18:23,680 --> 00:18:26,159 Speaker 1: long time ago. But everybody, you know, you would have 364 00:18:26,160 --> 00:18:28,600 Speaker 1: thought FDR this or that. You know, some he was 365 00:18:28,640 --> 00:18:32,320 Speaker 1: pretty rich, and yeah, but presidents took their salary. And 366 00:18:32,359 --> 00:18:34,919 Speaker 1: you know, it's about four hundred and fifty thousand dollars year, 367 00:18:34,960 --> 00:18:38,840 Speaker 1: so it's not nothing. And so for four years I 368 00:18:38,840 --> 00:18:43,000 Speaker 1: didn't take salary. Nobody ever writes that I've never seen 369 00:18:43,080 --> 00:18:46,080 Speaker 1: it written that I didn't. In fact, when people hear it, 370 00:18:46,119 --> 00:18:51,000 Speaker 1: they're surprised. But now it cost me hundreds of millions 371 00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:53,639 Speaker 1: of dollars to be president. I'm so glad I did it. 372 00:18:53,680 --> 00:18:57,719 Speaker 1: I mean that that was I expected that. But in retrospect, 373 00:18:57,720 --> 00:18:59,439 Speaker 1: when you look at all of these scams that go 374 00:18:59,520 --> 00:19:02,040 Speaker 1: on with Hunter and you know, not the paintings of 375 00:19:02,119 --> 00:19:04,000 Speaker 1: the least of it, Yeah, the millions of dollars from 376 00:19:04,080 --> 00:19:07,160 Speaker 1: China for Hunters expertise, which is apparently in free basing 377 00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:10,560 Speaker 1: and making home videos. The whole thing. When you look 378 00:19:10,560 --> 00:19:13,000 Speaker 1: at what happened, the stuff I was talking about was 379 00:19:13,119 --> 00:19:16,080 Speaker 1: very you would have been would have looked very legitimate. 380 00:19:16,119 --> 00:19:19,440 Speaker 1: By comparison, Well, do you think we're going into a 381 00:19:20,080 --> 00:19:23,240 Speaker 1: deep recession here? How concerned are you? I mean, you've 382 00:19:23,240 --> 00:19:25,160 Speaker 1: seen these indicators, you've been in the game, you know. 383 00:19:25,400 --> 00:19:30,200 Speaker 1: And what they did yesterday by passing this bill with mansions, 384 00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:32,040 Speaker 1: how Democrats are going to put forward this bill now 385 00:19:32,040 --> 00:19:36,080 Speaker 1: three hundred and sixty billion dollars for green energy, raising taxes, 386 00:19:36,119 --> 00:19:39,400 Speaker 1: one hundred and twenty five billion of extra irs enforcement 387 00:19:39,440 --> 00:19:40,960 Speaker 1: just means they're going to be auditing a whole lot 388 00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:43,240 Speaker 1: more people. That feels like it's not going to help, 389 00:19:43,280 --> 00:19:44,680 Speaker 1: does it. I mean, where do you think we're going 390 00:19:44,720 --> 00:19:46,720 Speaker 1: from me? So did you ever see all over the place? 391 00:19:46,720 --> 00:19:48,760 Speaker 1: And I'm very proud to see it. I don't put 392 00:19:48,840 --> 00:19:51,840 Speaker 1: it out. Trump was right about everything I was. I 393 00:19:51,920 --> 00:19:54,479 Speaker 1: think I was right about everything. I was right about Ukraine. 394 00:19:54,560 --> 00:19:57,400 Speaker 1: I was right about oil. I've been right about everything. 395 00:19:58,880 --> 00:20:03,280 Speaker 1: If you look back into your wonderful files, you have 396 00:20:03,280 --> 00:20:05,520 Speaker 1: a wonderful filling system. Most of it's in your brain, 397 00:20:05,920 --> 00:20:09,040 Speaker 1: but you might even remember it. I said this stuff 398 00:20:09,119 --> 00:20:11,640 Speaker 1: was all going to happen. I said it was going 399 00:20:11,680 --> 00:20:15,840 Speaker 1: to happen. Everything that you're seeing right now, I said 400 00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:20,120 Speaker 1: was going to happen. And you go back somebody, it's 401 00:20:20,119 --> 00:20:22,919 Speaker 1: really incredible. Sometimes you'll have fair reporting where they'll go 402 00:20:22,960 --> 00:20:25,199 Speaker 1: back and they said Trump said this was going to 403 00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:28,160 Speaker 1: take place. But yeah, I said it was going to happen, 404 00:20:28,200 --> 00:20:31,800 Speaker 1: and that's what happened. Let me ask you this, everything 405 00:20:31,840 --> 00:20:34,919 Speaker 1: that's going on the border. You were right, Crime, you 406 00:20:34,960 --> 00:20:37,920 Speaker 1: were right Ukraine, you were right. May end up being 407 00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:40,560 Speaker 1: right about Taiwan and what China might do, and it 408 00:20:40,560 --> 00:20:42,480 Speaker 1: could lead to World War three. But it could all 409 00:20:42,560 --> 00:20:45,080 Speaker 1: lead to world War three. Remember that to remember I 410 00:20:45,119 --> 00:20:49,440 Speaker 1: said that too, And that's what's really very high stakes. Obviously, Yes, 411 00:20:49,760 --> 00:20:53,200 Speaker 1: how do you not run? I know you've been teasing, Hey, 412 00:20:53,240 --> 00:20:55,720 Speaker 1: I'm going to make a decision at some point. How, 413 00:20:56,160 --> 00:20:59,439 Speaker 1: knowing what you know and seeing what you see of 414 00:20:59,520 --> 00:21:03,040 Speaker 1: Joe bid, how do you not run in twenty two? 415 00:21:03,160 --> 00:21:05,040 Speaker 1: Very hard for me not to run, to be honest. 416 00:21:05,119 --> 00:21:09,159 Speaker 1: And also the polls indicate that from the Republican standpoint, 417 00:21:09,440 --> 00:21:11,919 Speaker 1: it would be easy. And I think I was up 418 00:21:11,920 --> 00:21:14,240 Speaker 1: eleven points against Biden the other day. I don't think 419 00:21:14,240 --> 00:21:16,600 Speaker 1: he's going to run. And I don't know why eleven 420 00:21:16,680 --> 00:21:18,320 Speaker 1: You know, how can you only be up If you 421 00:21:18,359 --> 00:21:20,800 Speaker 1: guys ran, you'd be up more than eleven. So I 422 00:21:20,800 --> 00:21:23,920 Speaker 1: don't even understand you're up eleven points. I don't understand 423 00:21:23,920 --> 00:21:26,560 Speaker 1: how that could be possible. For instance, they show him 424 00:21:26,600 --> 00:21:29,720 Speaker 1: at thirty five, or they show him at thirty nine, 425 00:21:29,960 --> 00:21:32,480 Speaker 1: or they show him at forty one, and I say, 426 00:21:32,520 --> 00:21:35,960 Speaker 1: forty ones a lot. Who's the forty one percent? Where 427 00:21:35,960 --> 00:21:39,439 Speaker 1: are these people where they have no? No, they say, oh, 428 00:21:39,440 --> 00:21:42,800 Speaker 1: he's really getting killed. He's at forty one. Now I'm 429 00:21:42,840 --> 00:21:44,240 Speaker 1: at a great number. Now you know, I have the 430 00:21:44,280 --> 00:21:46,800 Speaker 1: best poll numbers now I've ever had. It's amazing. Even 431 00:21:46,840 --> 00:21:49,760 Speaker 1: at the Charlie Kirk event the other day Turning Point, 432 00:21:50,359 --> 00:21:54,439 Speaker 1: I had seventy nine to nineteen to one and zero 433 00:21:54,640 --> 00:21:57,360 Speaker 1: and most of them had zero. At seventy nine, that's 434 00:21:57,359 --> 00:21:59,600 Speaker 1: a lot, mister President, Can we keep a little I 435 00:21:59,600 --> 00:22:00,760 Speaker 1: know you've got to run out to the course. You 436 00:22:00,840 --> 00:22:02,320 Speaker 1: got a big day to day, but we want to 437 00:22:02,320 --> 00:22:06,160 Speaker 1: ask you.

We know you're 464 00:23:26,640 --> 00:23:30,280 Speaker 1: super busy today. We got a big midterm election coming up. 465 00:23:30,280 --> 00:23:33,760 Speaker 1: We've been saying this is the first opportunity the American 466 00:23:33,800 --> 00:23:38,120 Speaker 1: people will have for a repudiation, for a real slapdown 467 00:23:38,280 --> 00:23:41,399 Speaker 1: of some of the really bad Democrat ideas that have 468 00:23:41,480 --> 00:23:44,920 Speaker 1: been running amuck for a while now. In this midterm election, 469 00:23:45,200 --> 00:23:48,879 Speaker 1: Republicans are looking pretty good so far. How are you 470 00:23:48,880 --> 00:23:51,399 Speaker 1: feeling about your endorsements, and we got a couple of 471 00:23:51,440 --> 00:23:53,520 Speaker 1: really close races that are going to be watched on 472 00:23:53,560 --> 00:23:56,800 Speaker 1: the Senate side Georgia for example, with herschel Walker doctor 473 00:23:56,800 --> 00:23:59,960 Speaker 1: Oz up in Pennsylvania. How are you seeing this field 474 00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:03,639 Speaker 1: of play going into a crucial mid term. So the 475 00:24:03,720 --> 00:24:06,639 Speaker 1: endorsements have been amazing, as you probably have heard, ninety 476 00:24:06,720 --> 00:24:09,840 Speaker 1: eight point two percent. And there's some controversial ones too. 477 00:24:09,920 --> 00:24:12,080 Speaker 1: I mean there's some ones that were not expected to 478 00:24:12,119 --> 00:24:14,400 Speaker 1: win and they won big, like Dan Cox last week. 479 00:24:15,240 --> 00:24:17,720 Speaker 1: Nobody heard of Dan. He was a respected guy, but 480 00:24:17,800 --> 00:24:20,560 Speaker 1: nobody really heard of him. And going against the rhino 481 00:24:20,720 --> 00:24:24,160 Speaker 1: Larry Hogan in Maryland, and as you know, he won 482 00:24:24,200 --> 00:24:28,320 Speaker 1: by nineteen points. That's a lot, and you know, many 483 00:24:28,359 --> 00:24:31,000 Speaker 1: many things like that. I'll be making an endorsement very 484 00:24:31,000 --> 00:24:33,399 Speaker 1: shortly today sometime. Having been just going to ask you, 485 00:24:33,440 --> 00:24:36,200 Speaker 1: because I know we got the Tuesday Michigan, Arizona, Missouri. 486 00:24:36,280 --> 00:24:40,600 Speaker 1: You just endorsed Tutor Dixon up in Michigan. Do you 487 00:24:40,640 --> 00:24:42,600 Speaker 1: want to make some news here with us right now? Well, 488 00:24:42,640 --> 00:24:44,480 Speaker 1: I gave her a good a good plug. I haven't 489 00:24:44,560 --> 00:24:46,680 Speaker 1: endorsed yet, but I may very well do it today. 490 00:24:46,760 --> 00:24:51,000 Speaker 1: But I did give her good You have truth as well. 491 00:24:51,080 --> 00:24:52,440 Speaker 1: Do you want to make any other news you can 492 00:24:52,520 --> 00:24:54,760 Speaker 1: endorse anybody else? Well, I will. I'll be endorsing a 493 00:24:54,800 --> 00:24:58,919 Speaker 1: few more people before the election. And you know the 494 00:24:58,960 --> 00:25:01,800 Speaker 1: elections are coming up largely on Tuesday and then next week. 495 00:25:02,320 --> 00:25:04,880 Speaker 1: In Texas, we were thirty three and oh we had 496 00:25:04,880 --> 00:25:07,600 Speaker 1: a perfect record. And I guess overall we're about one 497 00:25:07,640 --> 00:25:10,800 Speaker 1: hundred and sixty seven and seven and that's pretty good. 498 00:25:10,840 --> 00:25:13,280 Speaker 1: And a couple of the seven were not winnable. But 499 00:25:13,320 --> 00:25:15,639 Speaker 1: there were people that, I mean, they would behind like 500 00:25:15,800 --> 00:25:18,720 Speaker 1: my massive numbers, but I knew him. They were nice 501 00:25:18,760 --> 00:25:20,760 Speaker 1: to me, and I said, I tried to talk him 502 00:25:20,760 --> 00:25:23,040 Speaker 1: out of it, but I couldn't do that. That Pennsylvania 503 00:25:23,080 --> 00:25:27,399 Speaker 1: senacy between the Democrat Federman lieutenant governor there and doctor Oz, 504 00:25:27,440 --> 00:25:30,320 Speaker 1: who just knows, of course because he's doctor Oz. How 505 00:25:30,359 --> 00:25:32,040 Speaker 1: do you think that's going to shape off in for 506 00:25:32,080 --> 00:25:34,320 Speaker 1: anybody who has it? You know, doctor Oz, obviously he 507 00:25:34,359 --> 00:25:36,680 Speaker 1: was your guy in that in that race. Very good, 508 00:25:37,440 --> 00:25:40,080 Speaker 1: your full faith, you'll be a conservative, he'll get it done. Well. 509 00:25:40,119 --> 00:25:44,040 Speaker 1: I had a great Pennsylvania twice and much better the 510 00:25:44,080 --> 00:25:46,120 Speaker 1: second time. I would say I did much. I did 511 00:25:46,160 --> 00:25:48,199 Speaker 1: you know, I got many millions and more votes the 512 00:25:48,240 --> 00:25:51,679 Speaker 1: second time in you know, overall, but in Pennsylvania definitely. 513 00:25:52,320 --> 00:25:55,240 Speaker 1: And what happens is he was really you know, they 514 00:25:55,240 --> 00:25:58,520 Speaker 1: spent like fifty million dollars against him in the primary. 515 00:25:59,040 --> 00:26:01,760 Speaker 1: And that's hard, you know, when you get hit by 516 00:26:02,119 --> 00:26:05,400 Speaker 1: unlimited money in the primary, which is what he did. 517 00:26:05,960 --> 00:26:08,120 Speaker 1: But he's starting to come up. He's very good. He's 518 00:26:08,160 --> 00:26:10,840 Speaker 1: a good politician, he's a good man. He's really a 519 00:26:10,840 --> 00:26:13,080 Speaker 1: compassionate guy. And I think he's going to do well. 520 00:26:13,200 --> 00:26:15,399 Speaker 1: I think he'll do very well in places like Philadelphia, 521 00:26:15,480 --> 00:26:18,720 Speaker 1: better than a Republican would normally do. I remember a 522 00:26:18,760 --> 00:26:22,680 Speaker 1: few years they said that Romney got zero in Philadelphia. 523 00:26:22,760 --> 00:26:24,760 Speaker 1: Now you know that's not possible, but it is when 524 00:26:24,760 --> 00:26:27,240 Speaker 1: they cheat. They wouldn't even give him one vote. Okay, 525 00:26:27,320 --> 00:26:29,440 Speaker 1: they say he got zero. He didn't get any votes 526 00:26:29,480 --> 00:26:31,960 Speaker 1: in this big city, so which you know isn't so. 527 00:26:32,640 --> 00:26:37,119 Speaker 1: But I think oswell, he's a very good campaigner. He 528 00:26:37,200 --> 00:26:40,240 Speaker 1: got hit again. He got hit so hard just day 529 00:26:40,280 --> 00:26:42,320 Speaker 1: after day after day. Then he has to go against 530 00:26:42,359 --> 00:26:47,280 Speaker 1: somebody else. Now, Futterman has got a very big medical 531 00:26:47,320 --> 00:26:49,800 Speaker 1: problem and people have to see you know, he's not 532 00:26:50,000 --> 00:26:52,200 Speaker 1: been out at all trying to do the Biden hide 533 00:26:52,200 --> 00:26:54,760 Speaker 1: in the basement camp. They're doing something. It's going to 534 00:26:54,840 --> 00:26:57,119 Speaker 1: be very interesting. But at some point, you know, the 535 00:26:57,160 --> 00:27:00,119 Speaker 1: people of Pennsylvania, they have to have a representative. So 536 00:27:00,160 --> 00:27:02,080 Speaker 1: it's going to be very interesting to see how Oz 537 00:27:02,119 --> 00:27:05,119 Speaker 1: handles it. Then the other race, it's interesting as Herschel. 538 00:27:05,200 --> 00:27:09,240 Speaker 1: Herschel is Herschel. He's a great star, the greatest star 539 00:27:09,480 --> 00:27:12,600 Speaker 1: ever in George. I mean, you have you have certainly 540 00:27:12,640 --> 00:27:15,000 Speaker 1: Hank Aaron, you have Herschel, you have a few of them. 541 00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:17,280 Speaker 1: But Herschel was the best football player, maybe one of 542 00:27:17,280 --> 00:27:20,760 Speaker 1: the best couple of best in the history of college football. 543 00:27:21,240 --> 00:27:23,200 Speaker 1: And I think that when people go in there, they're 544 00:27:23,200 --> 00:27:26,520 Speaker 1: going to press the Herschel lever. I believe that he's 545 00:27:26,520 --> 00:27:30,080 Speaker 1: doing pretty well. When you watch Joe Biden speak, and 546 00:27:30,160 --> 00:27:33,800 Speaker 1: I'm sure you like us watch him on screen, can't 547 00:27:33,840 --> 00:27:37,600 Speaker 1: read a teleprompter or seems to be struggling even to walk. 548 00:27:37,680 --> 00:27:40,560 Speaker 1: You played eighteen holes of golf yesterday. I don't think 549 00:27:40,600 --> 00:27:43,800 Speaker 1: Joe Biden could play eighteen holes of golf, certainly not 550 00:27:43,840 --> 00:27:46,960 Speaker 1: with pros and Minigal, Yeah, maybe Minigal. He can't hit 551 00:27:47,000 --> 00:27:48,840 Speaker 1: the ball out there with me. That I can tell 552 00:27:48,920 --> 00:27:52,520 Speaker 1: you nor could he hit hit it beyond the tea? 553 00:27:52,680 --> 00:27:56,080 Speaker 1: Is it? Yeah? Right? Is it difficult to watch him 554 00:27:56,320 --> 00:27:59,160 Speaker 1: even even you ran a campaign against him? But Buck 555 00:27:59,160 --> 00:28:01,280 Speaker 1: and I talk about, look, we don't want the president 556 00:28:01,520 --> 00:28:03,720 Speaker 1: to be taken advantage of by Russia and to be 557 00:28:03,760 --> 00:28:08,320 Speaker 1: taken advantage and he could barely control a conversation, it 558 00:28:08,359 --> 00:28:11,439 Speaker 1: feels like. And you saw I'm sure China basically slapped 559 00:28:11,520 --> 00:28:13,520 Speaker 1: him down in that conversation they had the other day 560 00:28:13,560 --> 00:28:16,800 Speaker 1: in the Taiwan situation. Zero respect. And you know that 561 00:28:16,920 --> 00:28:20,119 Speaker 1: never happened with me. I had a very good relationship actually, 562 00:28:20,119 --> 00:28:21,800 Speaker 1: and then when COVID came in, I sort of gave 563 00:28:21,880 --> 00:28:25,320 Speaker 1: that relationship up. It was that was a tunnel too 564 00:28:25,320 --> 00:28:28,440 Speaker 1: far right, that was a little bit too much doctor Fauci, 565 00:28:28,520 --> 00:28:31,200 Speaker 1: drive you crazy? No, I usually just did the opposite 566 00:28:31,240 --> 00:28:32,720 Speaker 1: of what he said. You know, he wasn't a big 567 00:28:32,760 --> 00:28:35,159 Speaker 1: factor for me because I didn't really use him too much. 568 00:28:35,200 --> 00:28:36,959 Speaker 1: I didn't know who it was, excepting he's been there 569 00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:39,720 Speaker 1: for sover, like thirty five forty years, right, so you know, 570 00:28:39,840 --> 00:28:41,640 Speaker 1: guys are there for forty years. You don't like to 571 00:28:41,680 --> 00:28:44,640 Speaker 1: say get out. You assume he's okay, But if you 572 00:28:44,720 --> 00:28:46,960 Speaker 1: think of it, he wanted to keep the country open 573 00:28:46,960 --> 00:28:48,960 Speaker 1: to let China pour in, and I stopped it. I 574 00:28:49,000 --> 00:28:51,480 Speaker 1: didn't do it. I didn't do the masks thing. He 575 00:28:51,560 --> 00:28:54,160 Speaker 1: was very interesting because he was totally I remember in 576 00:28:54,240 --> 00:28:57,680 Speaker 1: my office he was totally against masks. All of a 577 00:28:57,720 --> 00:29:00,680 Speaker 1: sudden he became a radical masker, you know, so he changes, 578 00:29:00,760 --> 00:29:03,600 Speaker 1: But if you look at everything he said, I did 579 00:29:03,640 --> 00:29:06,520 Speaker 1: almost the opposite of about everything he said. But he's 580 00:29:06,520 --> 00:29:09,520 Speaker 1: a very big factor in this administration, and that's been 581 00:29:09,560 --> 00:29:11,760 Speaker 1: a bad thing because of the lockdown. So lockdowns have 582 00:29:11,840 --> 00:29:14,000 Speaker 1: been a disaster. Are you worried that some of these 583 00:29:14,080 --> 00:29:16,840 Speaker 1: Democrats states or Democrat run states, and even at the 584 00:29:16,840 --> 00:29:19,680 Speaker 1: federal level, as long as Biden's in office, they may 585 00:29:19,760 --> 00:29:22,440 Speaker 1: try to bring back some of these policies, whether it's 586 00:29:22,440 --> 00:29:25,960 Speaker 1: mandatory masking on planes or just some of the other 587 00:29:26,400 --> 00:29:29,560 Speaker 1: COVID mitigation measures as foul, he calls them, that haven't 588 00:29:29,600 --> 00:29:32,200 Speaker 1: worked well. When we see monkeypox and these other things 589 00:29:32,200 --> 00:29:34,520 Speaker 1: that they're talking about, and we see the revival of 590 00:29:34,600 --> 00:29:36,960 Speaker 1: you know, all of this nonsense about Biden because he 591 00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:39,880 Speaker 1: did a very bad job with the H one N 592 00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:42,960 Speaker 1: one virus, as you know, very bad, but it was 593 00:29:43,000 --> 00:29:45,400 Speaker 1: a smaller situation, but it was a horrible job. A 594 00:29:45,440 --> 00:29:48,440 Speaker 1: lot of people died that really should not have. And 595 00:29:48,480 --> 00:29:50,440 Speaker 1: then he was going to come in and solve the problem, 596 00:29:50,960 --> 00:29:54,360 Speaker 1: and we did a fantastic job. He took over the residue. 597 00:29:54,400 --> 00:29:56,520 Speaker 1: Also on our economy, the reason he had a good 598 00:29:56,600 --> 00:29:58,680 Speaker 1: first six months. You know, it doesn't just go away 599 00:29:58,840 --> 00:30:00,600 Speaker 1: like a slice of He said he was going to 600 00:30:00,640 --> 00:30:03,280 Speaker 1: shut down the virus and not shut down the economy, 601 00:30:03,320 --> 00:30:05,200 Speaker 1: and it looks like Biden got that in reverse. I 602 00:30:05,280 --> 00:30:07,600 Speaker 1: think he got it an adverse. But but if you look, 603 00:30:07,720 --> 00:30:10,200 Speaker 1: I mean, COVID is all over the place, so you 604 00:30:10,200 --> 00:30:12,920 Speaker 1: know there wasn't And I'm not even blaming them. Okay, 605 00:30:13,040 --> 00:30:14,680 Speaker 1: I'm not blamed. That's just the way it is. I'm 606 00:30:14,680 --> 00:30:18,200 Speaker 1: not saying, oh gee, but I looked at a map yesterday. 607 00:30:18,360 --> 00:30:20,680 Speaker 1: But it's very interesting. We have an election coming up 608 00:30:20,680 --> 00:30:23,360 Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, they're they're saying COVID is 609 00:30:25,840 --> 00:30:27,880 Speaker 1: so they may have to go to mail in ballots. 610 00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:29,960 Speaker 1: Let's going to crook at mail in ballots. There are 611 00:30:29,960 --> 00:30:31,960 Speaker 1: some things we just have to ask you as a president. 612 00:30:32,280 --> 00:30:34,960 Speaker 1: If you're going to announce, when are you going to announce? 613 00:30:35,080 --> 00:30:37,440 Speaker 1: Can you tell us that. Well, if I'm going to announce, 614 00:30:37,480 --> 00:30:39,440 Speaker 1: I'll have to make a decision. Is it going to 615 00:30:39,520 --> 00:30:42,560 Speaker 1: be you know two words, is it before or after? 616 00:30:43,480 --> 00:30:46,840 Speaker 1: And there are reasons for both. I mean some very 617 00:30:46,840 --> 00:30:50,240 Speaker 1: good things about earlier, there's some very good things about later. 618 00:30:51,000 --> 00:30:53,320 Speaker 1: The way I look at it is if I announced 619 00:30:53,360 --> 00:30:56,720 Speaker 1: early and we do well, I'll get credit for having 620 00:30:56,760 --> 00:31:00,000 Speaker 1: done well, as much as you'll get, because the press 621 00:31:00,040 --> 00:31:02,000 Speaker 1: won't give you credit anyway. If I do poorly, I'll 622 00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:07,720 Speaker 1: get absolutely it'll be it'll be horrible. But if I 623 00:31:07,840 --> 00:31:11,000 Speaker 1: announced later and we do well, I won't get any credit. 624 00:31:11,920 --> 00:31:14,800 Speaker 1: In fact, if I announced later we don't do well, 625 00:31:14,840 --> 00:31:17,920 Speaker 1: whether it's before or after, they'll blame me. In other words, 626 00:31:17,960 --> 00:31:19,960 Speaker 1: if we do badly, they'll blame me no matter what, 627 00:31:20,040 --> 00:31:22,200 Speaker 1: even if I had nothing to do with it. So 628 00:31:22,520 --> 00:31:25,040 Speaker 1: I don't know. I will make a decision. The one 629 00:31:25,040 --> 00:31:27,320 Speaker 1: thing I can say for sure, our country is going 630 00:31:27,360 --> 00:31:30,720 Speaker 1: to hell. I don't think we've ever been so disrespected. 631 00:31:30,760 --> 00:31:33,400 Speaker 1: In all of the years that this country has been around, 632 00:31:33,440 --> 00:31:35,680 Speaker 1: and it's been a lot of years, I don't think 633 00:31:35,680 --> 00:31:39,440 Speaker 1: we've ever been so disrespected as a country. They all 634 00:31:39,480 --> 00:31:42,240 Speaker 1: they talk about, you know, everything, they do is disinformation 635 00:31:42,360 --> 00:31:46,479 Speaker 1: or misinformation. Call it what you want. Disinformation. Whether it's Russia, 636 00:31:46,520 --> 00:31:49,760 Speaker 1: Russia Russia, or whether it's are we in a recession 637 00:31:49,920 --> 00:31:52,400 Speaker 1: or not, it doesn't matter. The key is to get 638 00:31:52,440 --> 00:31:56,040 Speaker 1: out of it because we are not doing well with employment. 639 00:31:56,080 --> 00:31:58,040 Speaker 1: You know, they like to say three point five percent, 640 00:31:58,360 --> 00:32:01,120 Speaker 1: but many millions of people are aren't working, so therefore 641 00:32:01,120 --> 00:32:03,480 Speaker 1: they don't count those people. So it's not three point five. 642 00:32:03,520 --> 00:32:06,280 Speaker 1: It's a much higher number than that because people aren't working. 643 00:32:06,320 --> 00:32:08,680 Speaker 1: This staying at home. So you can't compare that three 644 00:32:08,720 --> 00:32:11,680 Speaker 1: point five with my three point three percent. You just 645 00:32:11,720 --> 00:32:15,400 Speaker 1: can't compare it. People aren't working and they don't have 646 00:32:15,440 --> 00:32:18,360 Speaker 1: any intention of working. There's a lot of bad things 647 00:32:18,400 --> 00:32:21,440 Speaker 1: going on. So we'll see how it all works. I'll 648 00:32:21,520 --> 00:32:24,880 Speaker 1: make a decision fairly soon, and I must tell you, 649 00:32:24,920 --> 00:32:27,400 Speaker 1: and I think I can say this in my mind. 650 00:32:27,440 --> 00:32:31,480 Speaker 1: I've already made the decision. And as part of that decision, 651 00:32:32,160 --> 00:32:33,960 Speaker 1: do you feel I know you're a big sports fan. 652 00:32:33,960 --> 00:32:36,800 Speaker 1: We're here at the live golf event. Do you feel 653 00:32:36,840 --> 00:32:40,720 Speaker 1: like a heavyweight boxer who won the fight and then 654 00:32:41,080 --> 00:32:44,920 Speaker 1: the refs basically sitting there ringside? You know how it 655 00:32:44,920 --> 00:32:47,160 Speaker 1: happens all the time. In boxing, you've probably been to 656 00:32:47,200 --> 00:32:50,400 Speaker 1: some of the fights ide for so many of them 657 00:32:50,640 --> 00:32:52,880 Speaker 1: where you watch it and you say, this guy clearly won, 658 00:32:53,520 --> 00:32:55,600 Speaker 1: and then they come out and they raise the hand 659 00:32:55,720 --> 00:32:57,880 Speaker 1: of the other guy. Does it feel a little bit 660 00:32:57,920 --> 00:33:00,400 Speaker 1: like that to you? And then to box or who 661 00:33:00,520 --> 00:33:02,320 Speaker 1: feels like he won says, I got to get back 662 00:33:02,320 --> 00:33:04,640 Speaker 1: in the ring. I want to be there and make 663 00:33:04,680 --> 00:33:07,880 Speaker 1: it so clear to everybody that I kicked this guy. Oh, 664 00:33:07,920 --> 00:33:09,720 Speaker 1: they could very much be a little bit of that. 665 00:33:11,160 --> 00:33:14,080 Speaker 1: If you look, Hey, I got sixty three million votes 666 00:33:14,120 --> 00:33:17,120 Speaker 1: the first time, and I got probably much more than 667 00:33:17,160 --> 00:33:20,120 Speaker 1: seventy five million votes a second time. This is their account, 668 00:33:20,440 --> 00:33:23,400 Speaker 1: probably much more. Well, that's a twelve million vote difference. 669 00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:25,880 Speaker 1: So I got twelve million votes. I was told if 670 00:33:25,880 --> 00:33:29,680 Speaker 1: I got the same sixty three, I couldn't lose. I 671 00:33:29,800 --> 00:33:32,520 Speaker 1: got seventy five. Maybe much more than that. We don't 672 00:33:32,520 --> 00:33:34,120 Speaker 1: even know because half of the votes. You know, the 673 00:33:34,520 --> 00:33:38,320 Speaker 1: tabulations are so messy. If you look at the litigation 674 00:33:38,400 --> 00:33:42,880 Speaker 1: and you look at different things, they have no idea. 675 00:33:42,880 --> 00:33:44,760 Speaker 1: I mean, they have votes where they don't have any 676 00:33:44,800 --> 00:33:47,880 Speaker 1: idea what the vote is. They really literally just yesterday 677 00:33:47,920 --> 00:33:49,920 Speaker 1: I readware in New Jersey. Did you see that they 678 00:33:49,960 --> 00:33:53,800 Speaker 1: found massive numbers of incorrect votes in New Jersey. If 679 00:33:53,800 --> 00:33:56,000 Speaker 1: you look at the Arizona totals and you look at 680 00:33:56,040 --> 00:33:58,600 Speaker 1: the audience where they talk about, if you look at 681 00:33:58,680 --> 00:34:02,840 Speaker 1: Detroit and you look at different places, Philadelphia, it was 682 00:34:02,880 --> 00:34:06,000 Speaker 1: so off. So I was told that if I got 683 00:34:06,040 --> 00:34:09,880 Speaker 1: sixty three million, I went easy by the best polsters, 684 00:34:09,960 --> 00:34:15,120 Speaker 1: you know, McLaughlin and others, great polsters. Obama got much 685 00:34:15,200 --> 00:34:19,080 Speaker 1: less the second time, and he easily won. Right. I 686 00:34:19,200 --> 00:34:22,200 Speaker 1: got much more the second time. I got millions and 687 00:34:22,320 --> 00:34:26,640 Speaker 1: millions of votes more, and I lost the most votes 688 00:34:26,680 --> 00:34:29,359 Speaker 1: ever for any sitting president, No sitting presidents ever even 689 00:34:29,440 --> 00:34:33,200 Speaker 1: come close. And I lost. It was a rigged election. 690 00:34:33,320 --> 00:34:35,000 Speaker 1: It was I hope they don't take you off the 691 00:34:35,000 --> 00:34:38,080 Speaker 1: air that they do. Please just delete this because I 692 00:34:38,080 --> 00:34:42,040 Speaker 1: don't want to see you, guys acraft. That was a 693 00:34:42,160 --> 00:34:44,239 Speaker 1: rigged and soule in election, and people know it, and 694 00:34:44,280 --> 00:34:46,520 Speaker 1: they're angry about it. They're very angry about it. And 695 00:34:46,560 --> 00:34:48,680 Speaker 1: that's why you had January six And they don't show 696 00:34:48,680 --> 00:34:50,759 Speaker 1: the crowds at January sixth. All they do is show 697 00:34:50,840 --> 00:34:54,080 Speaker 1: the relatively small number of people that went down peacefully 698 00:34:54,080 --> 00:34:56,920 Speaker 1: and patriotically, because I told him peacefully and patriotically, how 699 00:34:56,920 --> 00:34:59,279 Speaker 1: good you know? How much better can you do than that? 700 00:35:00,080 --> 00:35:02,760 Speaker 1: But it was a very small number compared to the crowd. 701 00:35:03,080 --> 00:35:05,880 Speaker 1: I believe it was the biggest crowd I've ever spoken before. 702 00:35:06,120 --> 00:35:08,680 Speaker 1: You never see pictures of that crowd, do you notice that. 703 00:35:09,520 --> 00:35:12,719 Speaker 1: I think the numbers were astronomical. I think it was 704 00:35:12,760 --> 00:35:16,200 Speaker 1: bigger than Inauguration Day. I think it was the biggest 705 00:35:16,200 --> 00:35:18,959 Speaker 1: crowd I've spoken to, and I've spoken to really big 706 00:35:18,960 --> 00:35:22,960 Speaker 1: crowds at the Washington Monument, etc. And you never see 707 00:35:23,000 --> 00:35:26,600 Speaker 1: those pictures. The whole thing is rigged. It's all disinformation. 708 00:35:26,760 --> 00:35:32,120 Speaker 1: Everything with them is disinformation, including our current disinformation. We're 709 00:35:32,160 --> 00:35:35,239 Speaker 1: not in a recession because it's not that important that 710 00:35:35,239 --> 00:35:38,640 Speaker 1: they should fight. They're fighting so hard to convince people 711 00:35:38,680 --> 00:35:41,120 Speaker 1: they're not. If we are, we are, and let's get 712 00:35:41,160 --> 00:35:43,480 Speaker 1: out of it. I mean, don't spend all your time 713 00:35:44,320 --> 00:35:48,640 Speaker 1: trying for the words. It's all disinformation with them, everything, 714 00:35:48,760 --> 00:35:51,839 Speaker 1: and you can't run a country like that. What they 715 00:35:51,880 --> 00:35:55,879 Speaker 1: do well is elections. They cheat well in elections. That's 716 00:35:55,880 --> 00:35:58,000 Speaker 1: what they do well. If they would use that same 717 00:35:58,080 --> 00:36:00,960 Speaker 1: genius for good things, like getting our country back on 718 00:36:01,080 --> 00:36:05,400 Speaker 1: track would be I'd actually be happy because our country 719 00:36:05,440 --> 00:36:08,279 Speaker 1: I don't believe has ever been lower. We have never 720 00:36:08,360 --> 00:36:11,440 Speaker 1: been lower than this, we have never been so disrespected. 721 00:36:11,880 --> 00:36:14,600 Speaker 1: We've never been in a situation like this. When you 722 00:36:14,600 --> 00:36:18,040 Speaker 1: see Afghanistan. The way we got out of Afghanistan, you know, 723 00:36:18,080 --> 00:36:20,920 Speaker 1: we didn't lose one soldier and eighteen months fell is 724 00:36:20,960 --> 00:36:23,520 Speaker 1: not one soldier in eighteen months. I spoke to Abdul, 725 00:36:23,600 --> 00:36:26,319 Speaker 1: the head of the Taliban, and I let him know 726 00:36:26,400 --> 00:36:30,360 Speaker 1: the Abdul, no soldiers, don't do it. Don't do it, Abdul, 727 00:36:31,040 --> 00:36:34,400 Speaker 1: And the bottom line for eighteen months, people don't know that. 728 00:36:34,440 --> 00:36:37,520 Speaker 1: You'll lose people in Chicago every day. You'll lose people 729 00:36:37,560 --> 00:36:41,200 Speaker 1: all over these democrat run cities all the time. In Afghanistan, 730 00:36:41,280 --> 00:36:44,120 Speaker 1: we didn't lose one soldier for eighteen months. And that's 731 00:36:44,239 --> 00:36:46,839 Speaker 1: all proven stuff. Even Biden got up and admitted it. 732 00:36:47,000 --> 00:36:48,920 Speaker 1: They were angry at him. They said, don't say that. 733 00:36:48,920 --> 00:36:50,840 Speaker 1: That's you know, bad for us that you say that. 734 00:36:50,920 --> 00:36:53,279 Speaker 1: He said it. He didn't want to say it, he 735 00:36:53,360 --> 00:36:56,319 Speaker 1: just said it. Going back to your previous question, But 736 00:36:57,120 --> 00:37:01,000 Speaker 1: think of it. We lost what we did with Afghanistan. 737 00:37:01,120 --> 00:37:03,359 Speaker 1: We could have gotten out of there with dignity, and 738 00:37:03,440 --> 00:37:04,800 Speaker 1: I was the one that got it down to a 739 00:37:04,840 --> 00:37:07,600 Speaker 1: small number of soldier. I would have kept Bogram because 740 00:37:07,640 --> 00:37:09,839 Speaker 1: of China, because it's one hour away from where they 741 00:37:09,840 --> 00:37:12,720 Speaker 1: make their nuclear weapons. We left one of the biggest 742 00:37:12,719 --> 00:37:14,879 Speaker 1: military bases in the world. We gave it to China. 743 00:37:14,960 --> 00:37:16,359 Speaker 1: China is going to take it over. I think they 744 00:37:16,360 --> 00:37:20,080 Speaker 1: already have, but think of it. So we left Bogram 745 00:37:20,080 --> 00:37:22,040 Speaker 1: to them. We should have kept Bogram and gotten now. 746 00:37:22,520 --> 00:37:24,919 Speaker 1: But when you get out, you take your soldiers out last. 747 00:37:24,960 --> 00:37:26,680 Speaker 1: You don't take them out first. As soon as we 748 00:37:26,680 --> 00:37:29,279 Speaker 1: took our soldiers out, they had a field day with us. 749 00:37:29,760 --> 00:37:32,480 Speaker 1: It is so sad to see what's happened with our country. 750 00:37:32,480 --> 00:37:34,799 Speaker 1: And that's why you have Russia, Ukraine, and that's why 751 00:37:34,840 --> 00:37:37,799 Speaker 1: you may very well have Taiwan, and you could end 752 00:37:37,880 --> 00:37:39,799 Speaker 1: up in World War three. And this would be a 753 00:37:39,840 --> 00:37:42,040 Speaker 1: world war the likes of which nobody has ever seen 754 00:37:42,080 --> 00:37:45,560 Speaker 1: because the weaponry is so powerful, nuclear and other things. 755 00:37:45,680 --> 00:37:48,680 Speaker 1: But the weaponry is so powerful. We've never been in 756 00:37:48,680 --> 00:37:51,600 Speaker 1: this position. And we have a man who's not capable, 757 00:37:51,640 --> 00:37:54,640 Speaker 1: and wasn't capable in primetime, by the way, but he's 758 00:37:54,719 --> 00:37:58,680 Speaker 1: certainly not capable now we're in big trouble as a country. 759 00:37:59,080 --> 00:38:01,560 Speaker 1: President Trump, really appreciate you joining us today here on 760 00:38:01,640 --> 00:38:05,799 Speaker 1: Clay and Buck. Thanks so much for making great. When 761 00:38:05,800 --> 00:38:08,160 Speaker 1: you exercise every day, you tend to over exert yourself 762 00:38:08,160 --> 00:38:10,400 Speaker 1: in the process. That can result in pain, and if 763 00:38:10,440 --> 00:38:12,080 Speaker 1: you decide you just want to work through it, that 764 00:38:12,160 --> 00:38:15,919 Speaker 1: becomes everyday pain. So many people experience chronic pain, whether 765 00:38:15,920 --> 00:38:18,600 Speaker 1: it's exercise, too much, exercise, you're just getting older.

Welcome back 774 00:38:43,800 --> 00:38:47,600 Speaker 1: Clayan book out here in Bedminster, New Jersey after our 775 00:38:47,680 --> 00:38:51,799 Speaker 1: hour long sit down with President Trump Clayanbuck dot com. 776 00:38:51,840 --> 00:38:54,040 Speaker 1: If you want to listen to it covered so much 777 00:38:54,080 --> 00:38:56,319 Speaker 1: ground there and also want to hear from you if 778 00:38:56,320 --> 00:38:59,480 Speaker 1: you have some reaction to that Trump interview or anything 779 00:38:59,480 --> 00:39:02,160 Speaker 1: else we're talking about today, but specifically Trump interview. We'd 780 00:39:02,160 --> 00:39:06,080 Speaker 1: love to hear eight hundred two eight to eight eight 781 00:39:06,120 --> 00:39:08,799 Speaker 1: two in Clay. One of the issues, as we were 782 00:39:08,880 --> 00:39:13,560 Speaker 1: speaking to number forty five himself, is you look at 783 00:39:13,680 --> 00:39:16,600 Speaker 1: the ways that things are not moving in the right 784 00:39:16,680 --> 00:39:18,920 Speaker 1: direction in the country. He mentioned the border we need. 785 00:39:19,000 --> 00:39:20,920 Speaker 1: We could have spent an hour, honestly just talking about 786 00:39:21,239 --> 00:39:25,040 Speaker 1: the situation of the US Mexico border and how that's 787 00:39:25,080 --> 00:39:29,480 Speaker 1: such a complete and utter mess these days. The economy 788 00:39:29,560 --> 00:39:33,000 Speaker 1: obviously is not where it should be. And that's not 789 00:39:33,040 --> 00:39:35,440 Speaker 1: just our opinion, this is the opinion of what seventy 790 00:39:35,440 --> 00:39:38,400 Speaker 1: five percent of Americans right now. Something along those lines. 791 00:39:39,280 --> 00:39:42,759 Speaker 1: But on crime as well, you know, there has been 792 00:39:43,000 --> 00:39:48,000 Speaker 1: a slow recognition that the most the most radical progressive 793 00:39:48,280 --> 00:39:54,960 Speaker 1: DA's the Soros back das. You've got former DA Budan 794 00:39:55,040 --> 00:39:58,600 Speaker 1: and San Francisco got removed, and now you've got Gascone 795 00:39:58,680 --> 00:40:01,760 Speaker 1: who could get removed in all they've crossed that hurle 796 00:40:01,840 --> 00:40:05,240 Speaker 1: in July to get the recall going, you have Larry 797 00:40:05,280 --> 00:40:10,359 Speaker 1: Krasner in Philadelphia and other Soros back DA. I think, well, 798 00:40:10,400 --> 00:40:14,640 Speaker 1: you have Kim Fox in Chicago. UM, Marilyn Moseby. I 799 00:40:14,680 --> 00:40:16,440 Speaker 1: think in Baltimore, I think she has some other problems 800 00:40:16,560 --> 00:40:19,080 Speaker 1: these days, legal issues. Point being, there are a lot 801 00:40:19,120 --> 00:40:21,880 Speaker 1: of prosecutors that everyone's realized, well they're they're just what 802 00:40:21,960 --> 00:40:24,920 Speaker 1: they're doing is reckless. But it's a lot more than 803 00:40:25,000 --> 00:40:28,480 Speaker 1: just that. It's the entire system, right, It's it's the way, 804 00:40:28,760 --> 00:40:31,319 Speaker 1: it's the way that the police. And we had a 805 00:40:31,360 --> 00:40:35,080 Speaker 1: fantastic interview with Raphael Mangual about he was. He was 806 00:40:35,120 --> 00:40:37,840 Speaker 1: so good. I mean because this he you know, we 807 00:40:37,960 --> 00:40:39,960 Speaker 1: try to always bring people on if they're a specific 808 00:40:40,000 --> 00:40:43,600 Speaker 1: subject matter expert with deep expertise on this. And he's 809 00:40:43,640 --> 00:40:46,440 Speaker 1: at the Manhattan Institute. He's got a book Criminal It 810 00:40:46,480 --> 00:40:49,839 Speaker 1: was a criminal Injustice, I believe, um and uh. And 811 00:40:49,880 --> 00:40:51,880 Speaker 1: he was talking about how the whole system they are 812 00:40:51,920 --> 00:40:56,000 Speaker 1: all these breakdowns. It's been a change that's intentional, and 813 00:40:56,080 --> 00:40:58,399 Speaker 1: Democrats have been pushing this. This is not from both 814 00:40:58,400 --> 00:41:00,719 Speaker 1: sides of the aisle, which brings to this New York 815 00:41:00,760 --> 00:41:04,640 Speaker 1: Post piece. Recidivism rates for New York cities burglars and 816 00:41:04,800 --> 00:41:10,280 Speaker 1: thieves soar amid bail reform. This is based on NYPD 817 00:41:10,840 --> 00:41:15,080 Speaker 1: NYPD data Clay roughly one in five criminals who have 818 00:41:15,160 --> 00:41:19,279 Speaker 1: been arrested for burglary or theft, were arrested for an 819 00:41:19,320 --> 00:41:24,680 Speaker 1: additional felony charge within sixty days after being put back 820 00:41:24,800 --> 00:41:26,920 Speaker 1: on the streets. I mean, this is one of the 821 00:41:26,920 --> 00:41:31,279 Speaker 1: biggest problems that we've seen. Is one, people are not 822 00:41:31,400 --> 00:41:35,879 Speaker 1: being punished by the criminal justice system for repeated infractions 823 00:41:35,880 --> 00:41:37,600 Speaker 1: in a way that's going to make them not want 824 00:41:37,600 --> 00:41:41,600 Speaker 1: to keep doing this. And also generally when their interaction 825 00:41:41,680 --> 00:41:44,080 Speaker 1: with their criminal justice system, this true New York's tool 826 00:41:44,280 --> 00:41:51,279 Speaker 1: all over the country is so minimal, they actually end 827 00:41:51,360 --> 00:41:53,160 Speaker 1: up often going on people that are breaking the law 828 00:41:53,200 --> 00:41:55,360 Speaker 1: go on to commit much more serious crimes, which is 829 00:41:55,360 --> 00:42:00,160 Speaker 1: why we see, you know, somebody broad daylight shooting as 830 00:42:00,440 --> 00:42:02,040 Speaker 1: you know that was a car jacking the went bad 831 00:42:02,080 --> 00:42:04,440 Speaker 1: or something. You find those person's been arrested fifteen times 832 00:42:04,440 --> 00:42:08,439 Speaker 1: for shoplifting, burglary, all these things. Buck, here's an easy 833 00:42:08,440 --> 00:42:10,640 Speaker 1: way to think about it for everybody out there listening. 834 00:42:10,800 --> 00:42:13,560 Speaker 1: You just ran through a lot of big city DA names. 835 00:42:14,440 --> 00:42:16,960 Speaker 1: How often did you even know the name of a 836 00:42:17,080 --> 00:42:20,720 Speaker 1: DA in the nineties and the two thousands. My own city, 837 00:42:20,800 --> 00:42:23,360 Speaker 1: that's it, that's right, other than your own city. And 838 00:42:23,400 --> 00:42:25,040 Speaker 1: you even had to be kind of plugged in in 839 00:42:25,080 --> 00:42:28,719 Speaker 1: your own city to know the DA those names. We 840 00:42:28,840 --> 00:42:34,400 Speaker 1: all know Gascone in La Krasner, as you said, in Philadelphia, 841 00:42:34,719 --> 00:42:38,279 Speaker 1: Coast to coast, we are aware Alvin Bragg in the 842 00:42:38,360 --> 00:42:40,800 Speaker 1: choices that he's making as the DA in New York City. 843 00:42:42,280 --> 00:42:47,000 Speaker 1: DA's are so out of control and crime has skyrocketed 844 00:42:47,040 --> 00:42:49,799 Speaker 1: to such an extent that many of us out there 845 00:42:49,840 --> 00:42:52,840 Speaker 1: can just roll the names of DA's off our tongues 846 00:42:52,920 --> 00:42:55,800 Speaker 1: because they're doing such an awful job. And I would 847 00:42:55,840 --> 00:42:58,720 Speaker 1: submit to you that being a DA is a lot 848 00:42:58,760 --> 00:43:03,120 Speaker 1: like being an umpire or a referee in sports. If 849 00:43:03,160 --> 00:43:06,880 Speaker 1: we're talking about your name, you probably did something that 850 00:43:07,080 --> 00:43:09,360 Speaker 1: is a bad job, because I can't even remember in 851 00:43:09,360 --> 00:43:11,480 Speaker 1: the nineties and the two thousands, even the early two 852 00:43:11,760 --> 00:43:15,160 Speaker 1: tens buck where you could run so many DA's names 853 00:43:15,160 --> 00:43:16,799 Speaker 1: off the tip of your tongue like we can now. 854 00:43:16,840 --> 00:43:21,640 Speaker 1: I mentioned Baltimore. Baltimore's city attorney, a City States Attorney, 855 00:43:22,320 --> 00:43:25,759 Speaker 1: Marilyn Mosby. She actually just finished. I knew she'd been 856 00:43:25,760 --> 00:43:29,040 Speaker 1: in the headlines recently. She finished last in her reelection 857 00:43:29,120 --> 00:43:33,719 Speaker 1: bid for for that that job. When we talk. She's 858 00:43:33,800 --> 00:43:37,480 Speaker 1: also facing federal trial in September on mortgage fraud and 859 00:43:37,560 --> 00:43:40,160 Speaker 1: perjury chart ideal, which if you have seen the wire, 860 00:43:40,400 --> 00:43:44,160 Speaker 1: remember they get there's a Baltimore politician who they try 861 00:43:44,200 --> 00:43:48,200 Speaker 1: to get on mortgage fraud, which mortgage fraud can can 862 00:43:48,239 --> 00:43:50,040 Speaker 1: be when it's when it's a serial, when when they 863 00:43:50,040 --> 00:43:52,120 Speaker 1: decide to go after it's a pretty serious crime. And 864 00:43:52,160 --> 00:43:54,839 Speaker 1: as we said in Baltimore in particular, it's such a 865 00:43:54,880 --> 00:44:00,200 Speaker 1: perfect window into where violent crime is coming from. Buck 866 00:44:00,280 --> 00:44:03,520 Speaker 1: you mentioned the number of recitivus, people who commit crimes 867 00:44:03,640 --> 00:44:05,440 Speaker 1: end up back out on the street. One of the 868 00:44:05,520 --> 00:44:08,640 Speaker 1: data points in that analysis that was done for the 869 00:44:08,640 --> 00:44:12,480 Speaker 1: Wall Street Journal of murders in Baltimore showed the ninety 870 00:44:12,600 --> 00:44:14,839 Speaker 1: out of one hundred and ten of murders that had 871 00:44:14,840 --> 00:44:18,479 Speaker 1: been committed in a particular area were being committed by 872 00:44:18,960 --> 00:44:21,680 Speaker 1: people who had already been in prison for violent crime 873 00:44:21,920 --> 00:44:24,040 Speaker 1: and shouldn't have been out. Not only were they in prison, 874 00:44:24,320 --> 00:44:27,160 Speaker 1: they were convicted, and if they had been in prison, 875 00:44:27,280 --> 00:44:30,359 Speaker 1: you could have eliminated all of those murders, which goes 876 00:44:30,400 --> 00:44:33,080 Speaker 1: to your point because you worked with the NYPD sum 877 00:44:34,280 --> 00:44:38,400 Speaker 1: it's a tiny, tiny percentage of people who are flagrantly 878 00:44:38,480 --> 00:44:41,640 Speaker 1: violating the law and making cities unsafe. For white, Black, 879 00:44:41,640 --> 00:44:45,399 Speaker 1: Asian and Hispanic people everywhere. We get far less than 880 00:44:45,480 --> 00:44:50,640 Speaker 1: one percent of particular neighborhoods where crimes are high, and 881 00:44:50,760 --> 00:44:53,120 Speaker 1: way less than one percent of the people who live there. 882 00:44:53,719 --> 00:44:56,120 Speaker 1: We just have to go get the bad guys and 883 00:44:56,200 --> 00:44:58,600 Speaker 1: keep them in jail, but just getting rid of the 884 00:44:58,640 --> 00:45:03,239 Speaker 1: most far left progressive prosecutors. So that's Gascone, the ones 885 00:45:03,239 --> 00:45:08,200 Speaker 1: we've been naming Gascone. Budan Mosby can Fox up in Chicago. 886 00:45:08,239 --> 00:45:11,120 Speaker 1: Remember she was the one who not only Fox has 887 00:45:11,120 --> 00:45:17,600 Speaker 1: a particular legacy, she not only made the Jesse's small 888 00:45:17,680 --> 00:45:21,239 Speaker 1: Let case go away, tried to seal it, yeah, so 889 00:45:21,320 --> 00:45:24,000 Speaker 1: that nobody could ever reopen it or look at it again. 890 00:45:24,160 --> 00:45:26,319 Speaker 1: Tried to just make the whole thing go away for 891 00:45:26,320 --> 00:45:29,319 Speaker 1: her buddy Jesse Smalltt. Was horrible corruption. It was so 892 00:45:29,400 --> 00:45:31,960 Speaker 1: obvious what had gone on there. But getting rid of 893 00:45:32,000 --> 00:45:34,759 Speaker 1: these individual bad actors. And this is really the point. 894 00:45:34,760 --> 00:45:37,360 Speaker 1: This is why I think the New York Post analysis 895 00:45:37,400 --> 00:45:40,800 Speaker 1: of the NYPD crime data on recidivism is so interesting. 896 00:45:41,320 --> 00:45:45,440 Speaker 1: It's not just the individuals who they're the implementors of this. 897 00:45:45,880 --> 00:45:51,160 Speaker 1: The whole ending of mass incarceration ideology needs to be rejected. 898 00:45:51,160 --> 00:45:54,759 Speaker 1: People need to understand that this, Oh, we need to 899 00:45:54,760 --> 00:45:57,880 Speaker 1: stop blocking people up for thirty years for marijuana possession. 900 00:45:58,080 --> 00:46:01,040 Speaker 1: That's actually not what was happening, saying there weren't incidents 901 00:46:01,080 --> 00:46:03,520 Speaker 1: here and there where the criminal justice system got it 902 00:46:03,560 --> 00:46:06,920 Speaker 1: wrong or went after somebody or you know, punish somebody 903 00:46:06,920 --> 00:46:09,600 Speaker 1: too severely. Clearly, that's a thing and that should be addressed. 904 00:46:10,080 --> 00:46:14,120 Speaker 1: But instead of looking at those individual cases, the ideology 905 00:46:14,239 --> 00:46:18,120 Speaker 1: turned to the left wing progressive belief system was we 906 00:46:18,239 --> 00:46:22,000 Speaker 1: just need to lock up fewer people. In Philadelphia, they 907 00:46:22,920 --> 00:46:26,160 Speaker 1: dropped the overall prison population and a few in the 908 00:46:26,160 --> 00:46:28,440 Speaker 1: course of a few years. I think it was about 909 00:46:28,480 --> 00:46:32,600 Speaker 1: forty you know, you look at Pennsylvania State prisons that 910 00:46:32,600 --> 00:46:35,720 Speaker 1: that Philadelphia was sending people to. They had a huge 911 00:46:35,760 --> 00:46:39,560 Speaker 1: reduction in the in the prisoner population. And what we've 912 00:46:39,560 --> 00:46:41,040 Speaker 1: seen is but that's not because there was a huge 913 00:46:41,040 --> 00:46:45,839 Speaker 1: reduction in crime, folks. So instead of dealing with this sensibly, 914 00:46:46,239 --> 00:46:48,600 Speaker 1: they just decided to act like if we let people out, 915 00:46:48,840 --> 00:46:52,240 Speaker 1: everything will be better. It's pretty crazy. It somehow became 916 00:46:52,360 --> 00:46:56,120 Speaker 1: racist to put criminals behind bars. And that's why, to me, 917 00:46:56,520 --> 00:47:00,160 Speaker 1: a destructive argument of that one, because you'll hear if 918 00:47:00,160 --> 00:47:02,759 Speaker 1: you're out there right now, and maybe you've been in 919 00:47:02,800 --> 00:47:05,600 Speaker 1: your daily life, maybe your kid, maybe one of your 920 00:47:05,640 --> 00:47:08,720 Speaker 1: friends comes out and says, well, the criminal justice system 921 00:47:08,800 --> 00:47:12,200 Speaker 1: is racist because there are too many minorities behind bars. 922 00:47:12,360 --> 00:47:15,080 Speaker 1: That's a common argument on the left. I would just 923 00:47:15,200 --> 00:47:18,279 Speaker 1: ask you to blow people's mind by saying, why don't 924 00:47:18,280 --> 00:47:22,879 Speaker 1: you argue that it's sexist because men are overwhelmingly put 925 00:47:22,920 --> 00:47:29,120 Speaker 1: behind bars? Yet impact is a bad theory to apply 926 00:47:29,440 --> 00:47:32,239 Speaker 1: for criminal justice. But they'll say any context that, they'll 927 00:47:32,280 --> 00:47:35,920 Speaker 1: say immediately, well, that's because men commit more crimes. You 928 00:47:36,000 --> 00:47:39,560 Speaker 1: just say exactly like criminals are the people who get 929 00:47:39,600 --> 00:47:42,319 Speaker 1: put behind bars. It's not a choice that's being made. 930 00:47:42,320 --> 00:47:45,560 Speaker 1: And that's why murder we've talked about is one of 931 00:47:45,560 --> 00:47:50,120 Speaker 1: the crime statistics that typically typically is reliable because there 932 00:47:50,160 --> 00:47:53,520 Speaker 1: is a dead body involved. You can argue about drug deals, 933 00:47:53,560 --> 00:47:57,319 Speaker 1: you can argue about a violent, even violent crime, but 934 00:47:57,560 --> 00:47:59,680 Speaker 1: murder is the one where when there's a dead body, 935 00:48:00,120 --> 00:48:02,440 Speaker 1: pretty good sense somebody shot, pretty good sense that it 936 00:48:02,440 --> 00:48:06,080 Speaker 1: didn't happen by them by their own hand, there's a crime. 937 00:48:06,239 --> 00:48:08,640 Speaker 1: And if you look at the data, the data is 938 00:48:08,719 --> 00:48:12,520 Speaker 1: not reflective of the population. Men commit almost all murders, 939 00:48:12,680 --> 00:48:14,759 Speaker 1: almost all sexual assaults too. There are a number of 940 00:48:14,760 --> 00:48:17,279 Speaker 1: serious guy all armed robberies. How many times have you 941 00:48:17,280 --> 00:48:20,680 Speaker 1: seen an armed robbery recently committed by a female? And 942 00:48:20,680 --> 00:48:24,360 Speaker 1: it happens, but it's a very raw percentage, And nobody 943 00:48:24,360 --> 00:48:27,319 Speaker 1: would accept the argument that the police are sexist because 944 00:48:27,360 --> 00:48:30,879 Speaker 1: they're arresting men far too often. We gotta go where 945 00:48:30,880 --> 00:48:32,800 Speaker 1: the crime is and we got to arrest those guys 946 00:48:32,840 --> 00:48:34,560 Speaker 1: and they're mostly guys, and we got to put them 947 00:48:34,560 --> 00:48:37,520 Speaker 1: behind bars for full length of sentences. And then we 948 00:48:37,600 --> 00:48:39,759 Speaker 1: just like the nineties all over again. Buck, we know 949 00:48:39,800 --> 00:48:42,919 Speaker 1: the miracle starts to happen. Crime declines when bad guys 950 00:48:42,920 --> 00:48:46,279 Speaker 1: are behind bars. It's amazing. Yeah, it turns out the 951 00:48:46,360 --> 00:48:49,360 Speaker 1: most stilling down there. And that is the answer of 952 00:48:49,400 --> 00:48:52,600 Speaker 1: how to get back our cities and streets and make 953 00:48:52,640 --> 00:48:55,839 Speaker 1: them safe again. With each mortgage free home, the Tunal 954 00:48:55,920 --> 00:48:59,040 Speaker 1: the Towers Foundation delivers on its promise to do good 955 00:48:59,080 --> 00:49:02,560 Speaker 1: and never forget the sacrifices America's heroes have made for us. 956 00:49:03,000 --> 00:49:06,120 Speaker 1: These heroes need your help. That's GoldStar and fallen first 957 00:49:06,120 --> 00:49:09,959 Speaker 1: responder families with children, our nation's most catastrophically injured first 958 00:49:09,960 --> 00:49:14,280 Speaker 1: responders and veterans even are homeless service members. US Marine Corps. 959 00:49:14,360 --> 00:49:18,800 Speaker 1: Corporal Christopher Greer was a firefighter and EMT in Tennessee 960 00:49:18,800 --> 00:49:21,520 Speaker 1: when he was deployed to Afghanistan. He was twenty five 961 00:49:21,640 --> 00:49:24,840 Speaker 1: when he gave his life serving our country. Corporal Greer 962 00:49:24,920 --> 00:49:28,520 Speaker 1: was survived by his wife and children. Talta Towers paid 963 00:49:28,560 --> 00:49:32,200 Speaker 1: off the Greer families mortgage.

And 984 00:50:41,040 --> 00:50:45,200 Speaker 1: what's intriguing about this as we break it down and 985 00:50:45,320 --> 00:50:48,359 Speaker 1: start to think about everything surrounding, he said so much, 986 00:50:48,400 --> 00:50:50,560 Speaker 1: I'd encourage everybody to go listen to the whole podcast. 987 00:50:51,040 --> 00:50:55,840 Speaker 1: But there is a big story here brewing surrounding Nancy 988 00:50:55,920 --> 00:51:01,360 Speaker 1: Pelosi's potential trip to Taiwan, and in fact, if she goes, 989 00:51:01,400 --> 00:51:04,600 Speaker 1: as you just heard me close out the hour, official 990 00:51:04,719 --> 00:51:07,600 Speaker 1: Chinese state media is saying they will consider it to 991 00:51:07,680 --> 00:51:10,919 Speaker 1: be an invasion and that they will try to keep 992 00:51:10,960 --> 00:51:15,120 Speaker 1: her plane from landing, and if necessary, they will shoot 993 00:51:15,239 --> 00:51:18,960 Speaker 1: down her plane. And we talked about this with President 994 00:51:19,000 --> 00:51:22,759 Speaker 1: Trump in the difficult situation that Nancy Pelosi is now 995 00:51:22,880 --> 00:51:25,799 Speaker 1: in and that the United States government is now in 996 00:51:25,880 --> 00:51:29,319 Speaker 1: as well. Here is how Trump analyzed it and the 997 00:51:29,480 --> 00:51:33,439 Speaker 1: idea that this could could lead to a potential world 998 00:51:33,480 --> 00:51:37,040 Speaker 1: War three situation. Listen, everything that's going on the border. 999 00:51:37,160 --> 00:51:40,799 Speaker 1: You were right, Crime, you were right, Ukraine, you were right. 1000 00:51:41,000 --> 00:51:43,640 Speaker 1: May end up being right about Taiwan and what China 1001 00:51:43,719 --> 00:51:45,399 Speaker 1: might do, and it could lead to World War three. 1002 00:51:45,400 --> 00:51:47,799 Speaker 1: But it could all lead to World War three. Remember that. 1003 00:51:47,920 --> 00:51:50,960 Speaker 1: Just remember I said that too, And that's what's really 1004 00:51:51,400 --> 00:51:56,560 Speaker 1: very high stakes. Obviously, Yes, And so as you break 1005 00:51:56,600 --> 00:52:00,480 Speaker 1: all that down, buck he said essentially that Nancy Pelosi 1006 00:52:00,600 --> 00:52:04,399 Speaker 1: is in a really difficult spot because if you don't go, 1007 00:52:05,080 --> 00:52:08,440 Speaker 1: you look weak as if you are bending to China's will. 1008 00:52:08,880 --> 00:52:11,719 Speaker 1: But if you do go, you potentially are putting your 1009 00:52:11,760 --> 00:52:15,880 Speaker 1: thumb in China's eye and provoking a very dangerous situation. 1010 00:52:16,000 --> 00:52:20,200 Speaker 1: So you were in international intelligence for a long time 1011 00:52:20,200 --> 00:52:23,760 Speaker 1: with the CIA. What in the world do you do now, 1012 00:52:23,920 --> 00:52:26,719 Speaker 1: given the threats coming from China and the fact that 1013 00:52:26,760 --> 00:52:30,239 Speaker 1: Pelosi evidently still is intending to go, How does this 1014 00:52:30,280 --> 00:52:33,720 Speaker 1: play out? I think that the reality is that Nancy 1015 00:52:33,760 --> 00:52:36,560 Speaker 1: Pelosi knows that she's got to go at this point, 1016 00:52:36,680 --> 00:52:39,839 Speaker 1: or else it'll be a huge political misstep for her. 1017 00:52:40,480 --> 00:52:43,960 Speaker 1: But I would be nervous on that plane. I wouldn't 1018 00:52:43,960 --> 00:52:45,839 Speaker 1: I wouldn't want to be a part of that delegation, 1019 00:52:46,000 --> 00:52:50,840 Speaker 1: given how important this is to China to draw a 1020 00:52:50,840 --> 00:52:55,200 Speaker 1: line here, and what I believe we're seeing one is 1021 00:52:55,239 --> 00:52:58,880 Speaker 1: that the Biden. You notice how President Trump really really 1022 00:52:59,120 --> 00:53:02,759 Speaker 1: spend some time in laid into what happened in Afghanistan, yea, 1023 00:53:02,960 --> 00:53:08,480 Speaker 1: and the way that that all came apart after twenty years, 1024 00:53:08,520 --> 00:53:11,960 Speaker 1: all the blood and toil and treasure in that country 1025 00:53:12,000 --> 00:53:15,279 Speaker 1: the US spent and twenty years, and then to have 1026 00:53:15,360 --> 00:53:17,880 Speaker 1: it all just fall apart In would look just to 1027 00:53:17,920 --> 00:53:21,320 Speaker 1: be a debacle. In real time, sent a lot of 1028 00:53:22,040 --> 00:53:26,960 Speaker 1: messages to other regimes and to our the oppositional countries, 1029 00:53:27,520 --> 00:53:30,960 Speaker 1: places like Russia, places like China. You can't help but 1030 00:53:31,080 --> 00:53:34,359 Speaker 1: note that the biggest war in Europe since World War 1031 00:53:34,400 --> 00:53:37,120 Speaker 1: Two is occurring on President Biden's watch. This could have 1032 00:53:37,160 --> 00:53:40,720 Speaker 1: happened for many years, it has happened on Biden's watch. 1033 00:53:41,080 --> 00:53:45,800 Speaker 1: But what really Putin decided was that he Ukraine mattered 1034 00:53:45,840 --> 00:53:50,160 Speaker 1: more to him than it mattered to us and to Europe, right, 1035 00:53:50,200 --> 00:53:53,440 Speaker 1: I mean, essentially, he was willing to have this massive 1036 00:53:53,440 --> 00:53:56,879 Speaker 1: invasion and what are we really going to do about it? Now? 1037 00:53:56,880 --> 00:53:59,319 Speaker 1: We're giving munitions and we're sending money, and we asked him. 1038 00:53:59,320 --> 00:54:00,840 Speaker 1: We showed the president and after By the way, the 1039 00:54:00,840 --> 00:54:04,880 Speaker 1: photos of Zelenski with he did not is crazy. He 1040 00:54:04,920 --> 00:54:07,759 Speaker 1: did not think the Vogue photos shoot in the middle 1041 00:54:07,800 --> 00:54:09,600 Speaker 1: of a war. He did not think the optics of 1042 00:54:09,640 --> 00:54:13,759 Speaker 1: that were wise. It did. But Zelenski's playing to his 1043 00:54:13,880 --> 00:54:17,280 Speaker 1: bass in our country, and his bass is very wealthy 1044 00:54:17,480 --> 00:54:20,520 Speaker 1: democrat elites and people that work at you know, ABC 1045 00:54:20,760 --> 00:54:24,280 Speaker 1: News and places like that, they're they're very pro Zelenski. 1046 00:54:24,280 --> 00:54:26,480 Speaker 1: A lot of other people are sitting here saying, Okay, well, 1047 00:54:26,480 --> 00:54:28,640 Speaker 1: what's really going on and why aren't we ever hearing 1048 00:54:28,680 --> 00:54:32,520 Speaker 1: about a negotiated an attempt that a negotiated settlement for 1049 00:54:32,520 --> 00:54:36,520 Speaker 1: that country. Who does Taiwan matter more to the United 1050 00:54:36,560 --> 00:54:38,880 Speaker 1: States or China? Eventually you get into a contest of 1051 00:54:38,920 --> 00:54:41,680 Speaker 1: wills and what are you really willing to do about 1052 00:54:41,680 --> 00:54:45,200 Speaker 1: the situation. It was just a few years ago when 1053 00:54:45,239 --> 00:54:47,080 Speaker 1: there was a lot of talk about what we'll do 1054 00:54:47,360 --> 00:54:50,439 Speaker 1: with regard to Hong Kong. Remember, and there are people 1055 00:54:50,480 --> 00:54:53,440 Speaker 1: in Hong Kong, residents of Hong Kong were flying or 1056 00:54:53,920 --> 00:54:57,200 Speaker 1: raising US flags and singing the Star Spangled Benner. We're saying, well, 1057 00:54:56,960 --> 00:54:59,319 Speaker 1: we stand with Hong Kong. That lasted a little bit 1058 00:54:59,400 --> 00:55:02,000 Speaker 1: until we realized, what's that really going to mean, folks, 1059 00:55:02,560 --> 00:55:05,600 Speaker 1: Are we going to send in eighty second airborne to 1060 00:55:05,640 --> 00:55:07,719 Speaker 1: get the freedom of the people of Hong Kong. No, 1061 00:55:07,840 --> 00:55:14,080 Speaker 1: We're gonna do what we always do, you know, pressure campaigns, publicly, diplomats, demarshes, 1062 00:55:14,200 --> 00:55:17,319 Speaker 1: stuff like that. Guess what, China runs Hong Kong. Now 1063 00:55:17,400 --> 00:55:19,719 Speaker 1: China got what they wanted there because it mattered more 1064 00:55:19,760 --> 00:55:22,640 Speaker 1: to that Wyat coup, and they did it so smartly 1065 00:55:22,800 --> 00:55:28,160 Speaker 1: during COVID when everybody was not paying attention by and large. 1066 00:55:28,400 --> 00:55:33,200 Speaker 1: And now Hong Kong is essentially under China's thumb. And 1067 00:55:33,239 --> 00:55:36,000 Speaker 1: it's a disaster if you believe, as we certainly do 1068 00:55:36,480 --> 00:55:43,520 Speaker 1: in free speech and democracy. And Taiwan, I just it feels. 1069 00:55:43,520 --> 00:55:45,560 Speaker 1: The New York Times had a big article buck and 1070 00:55:45,600 --> 00:55:49,440 Speaker 1: they said, there's increasing fear that in the next eighteen months, 1071 00:55:49,719 --> 00:55:52,480 Speaker 1: China is going to invade Taiwan. And if you were, 1072 00:55:52,560 --> 00:55:56,200 Speaker 1: let's take a step back and presume that you are 1073 00:55:56,280 --> 00:55:59,720 Speaker 1: in charge of China. Everybody out there listening, you saw 1074 00:55:59,760 --> 00:56:03,160 Speaker 1: how when feebled the United States was in our departure 1075 00:56:03,200 --> 00:56:06,120 Speaker 1: from Afghanistan, Trump talked about that a great deal because 1076 00:56:06,160 --> 00:56:09,040 Speaker 1: really when Biden, I think for most people, even those 1077 00:56:09,080 --> 00:56:12,279 Speaker 1: who were tending to be generous towards him, recognize that 1078 00:56:12,320 --> 00:56:15,200 Speaker 1: he was not up to the job right Afghanistan. Since then, 1079 00:56:15,280 --> 00:56:18,200 Speaker 1: everything has fallen apart even worse. You saw how bad 1080 00:56:18,239 --> 00:56:22,279 Speaker 1: we were with Afghanistan. You have seen that. Really, even 1081 00:56:22,280 --> 00:56:25,880 Speaker 1: though we talk big, we haven't really done anything to 1082 00:56:26,000 --> 00:56:32,200 Speaker 1: Russia that has had major, incredible danger to Russia attached. 1083 00:56:32,280 --> 00:56:34,920 Speaker 1: Russia's winning that war. You won't hear people talk about that, 1084 00:56:34,960 --> 00:56:37,880 Speaker 1: but Russia's taking territory and in more in control of 1085 00:56:37,920 --> 00:56:40,200 Speaker 1: more territory than when they started. That's right, and there's 1086 00:56:40,200 --> 00:56:41,600 Speaker 1: going to be at some point I would think a 1087 00:56:41,600 --> 00:56:44,399 Speaker 1: negotiated settlement there that's going to end with Russia having 1088 00:56:44,440 --> 00:56:48,879 Speaker 1: grabbed way more land and maybe even cutting Ukraine effectively 1089 00:56:49,000 --> 00:56:52,920 Speaker 1: off from being able to use shipping ports anymore. If that, 1090 00:56:53,080 --> 00:56:56,160 Speaker 1: if you're watching that in your China, why in the 1091 00:56:56,200 --> 00:56:59,680 Speaker 1: world if you believe that Taiwan is your territory and 1092 00:56:59,760 --> 00:57:02,920 Speaker 1: you want to take it, when is the United States 1093 00:57:02,960 --> 00:57:07,799 Speaker 1: going to be weaker than under Joe Biden over the 1094 00:57:07,840 --> 00:57:10,080 Speaker 1: next two years. You don't know who the next president 1095 00:57:10,160 --> 00:57:12,200 Speaker 1: is going to be, You don't know what Congress is 1096 00:57:12,239 --> 00:57:14,960 Speaker 1: going to look like Joe Biden is going to be 1097 00:57:15,040 --> 00:57:16,800 Speaker 1: to the extent that he's been a bad president in 1098 00:57:16,840 --> 00:57:19,920 Speaker 1: the first eighteen months. He is going to be impotent 1099 00:57:20,040 --> 00:57:22,600 Speaker 1: on a level that we have never seen before. I 1100 00:57:22,600 --> 00:57:25,640 Speaker 1: really believe this in the final two years of his administration. 1101 00:57:25,960 --> 00:57:27,920 Speaker 1: Why would you not go Now? You also have to 1102 00:57:27,960 --> 00:57:33,080 Speaker 1: ask what prices the US really willing to pay to 1103 00:57:33,200 --> 00:57:37,160 Speaker 1: ensure the independence and freedom of a foreign country that 1104 00:57:37,320 --> 00:57:40,560 Speaker 1: is not the United States. We've seen in Ukraine. We 1105 00:57:40,640 --> 00:57:45,560 Speaker 1: take a middle path right in Ukraine has banned opposition 1106 00:57:45,600 --> 00:57:47,800 Speaker 1: parties and there is a lot of corruption there and 1107 00:57:47,920 --> 00:57:50,200 Speaker 1: Hunter was getting paid eighty thousand Biberismo and it's a 1108 00:57:50,240 --> 00:57:53,600 Speaker 1: country that had problems before the invasion. But obviously the 1109 00:57:53,680 --> 00:57:57,040 Speaker 1: Russian invasion is a war of aggression, and so we 1110 00:57:57,600 --> 00:58:01,280 Speaker 1: are all rooting for Ukraine. We're all with them in spirit. 1111 00:58:01,600 --> 00:58:05,360 Speaker 1: But we've given them essentially the weapons and munitions to 1112 00:58:05,480 --> 00:58:07,880 Speaker 1: keep it going, but we're not We could do a 1113 00:58:07,880 --> 00:58:09,600 Speaker 1: whole lot more. Remember there was talk about a no 1114 00:58:09,720 --> 00:58:13,480 Speaker 1: fly zone. There was talk about training Ukrainian pilots and 1115 00:58:13,520 --> 00:58:15,720 Speaker 1: putting them in US planes and things, And why didn't 1116 00:58:15,720 --> 00:58:19,000 Speaker 1: we do that? Because we thought the Russian escalation that 1117 00:58:19,000 --> 00:58:21,720 Speaker 1: would come would be something we didn't want to handle. 1118 00:58:21,960 --> 00:58:23,600 Speaker 1: You think about what are we really willing to do 1119 00:58:23,600 --> 00:58:25,440 Speaker 1: with Taiwan? To your point about when is it a 1120 00:58:25,480 --> 00:58:28,360 Speaker 1: better time for them to go? If if Joe Biden 1121 00:58:28,480 --> 00:58:30,600 Speaker 1: sees you know, you ask me, what's it like the 1122 00:58:30,640 --> 00:58:33,360 Speaker 1: see if if if the DNI goes running into the 1123 00:58:33,360 --> 00:58:37,400 Speaker 1: Oval office, you know, late one afternoon and says, sir, 1124 00:58:37,600 --> 00:58:40,520 Speaker 1: there are Chinese, you know, transport ships on the way. 1125 00:58:40,600 --> 00:58:43,120 Speaker 1: It's only one hundred miles from mainland China to Taiwan. 1126 00:58:43,160 --> 00:58:45,120 Speaker 1: They're on the way right now. We think the invasions coming. 1127 00:58:45,600 --> 00:58:47,800 Speaker 1: Do you think Joe Biden gives the order. Do you 1128 00:58:47,840 --> 00:58:51,600 Speaker 1: think he says, mobilize, let's go where we're going to go? 1129 00:58:51,640 --> 00:58:54,880 Speaker 1: To the mat for Taiwan? Do the American people want that? 1130 00:58:54,960 --> 00:58:59,640 Speaker 1: To your point about the corporate economic and the economic 1131 00:58:59,680 --> 00:59:02,000 Speaker 1: in englements and the reality of what a war with 1132 00:59:02,080 --> 00:59:04,120 Speaker 1: China would do to the global economy, never mind what 1133 00:59:04,200 --> 00:59:06,720 Speaker 1: a war would actually look like, which is almost unthinkable 1134 00:59:06,760 --> 00:59:09,840 Speaker 1: given the size and power and ferocity of those two 1135 00:59:09,840 --> 00:59:14,240 Speaker 1: competing militaries, Does anyone really have an answer? In strategic ambiguity, 1136 00:59:14,280 --> 00:59:16,640 Speaker 1: I think in part comes from no one's really thought 1137 00:59:16,680 --> 00:59:19,760 Speaker 1: this thing all the way through or really knows they 1138 00:59:19,800 --> 00:59:21,919 Speaker 1: wore game at Buck I mean, and that's why I'm 1139 00:59:21,920 --> 00:59:26,520 Speaker 1: just if I am China, I cannot think of a 1140 00:59:26,680 --> 00:59:32,360 Speaker 1: time when there has been a weaker opportunity. In terms 1141 00:59:32,400 --> 00:59:36,200 Speaker 1: of the United States, I don't think we would do 1142 00:59:36,240 --> 00:59:39,760 Speaker 1: a thing if China invaded time. By the way they're 1143 00:59:39,760 --> 00:59:46,360 Speaker 1: stretching Ukraine alone is stretching our ability to provide munitions. 1144 00:59:46,480 --> 00:59:49,200 Speaker 1: There are concerns not only the Ukraine could run out 1145 00:59:49,240 --> 00:59:51,560 Speaker 1: of it might see up talking about we're talking about 1146 00:59:51,880 --> 00:59:55,400 Speaker 1: rounds for small arms, but also artillery shells and more 1147 00:59:55,440 --> 01:00:01,240 Speaker 1: precise munitions. We're not able to just continue uously provide 1148 01:00:01,320 --> 01:00:04,320 Speaker 1: all of this even in Ukraine at the current rate. 1149 01:00:04,520 --> 01:00:06,880 Speaker 1: So what would happen if you were to try to 1150 01:00:06,920 --> 01:00:11,280 Speaker 1: expand a theater of conflict? Are we are we wanting 1151 01:00:11,320 --> 01:00:13,680 Speaker 1: to do this? Are we capable of doing this? Those 1152 01:00:13,720 --> 01:00:16,520 Speaker 1: are two things that you would have to really think through. 1153 01:00:16,800 --> 01:00:19,440 Speaker 1: And I to your point about what China sees is 1154 01:00:19,440 --> 01:00:21,080 Speaker 1: there it would there be a better time for it. 1155 01:00:21,120 --> 01:00:24,600 Speaker 1: I mean, you would hope that they would look at 1156 01:00:24,680 --> 01:00:28,520 Speaker 1: the US response and say the chance is high enough 1157 01:00:29,360 --> 01:00:32,080 Speaker 1: that they will decide to come to Taiwan's that we 1158 01:00:32,120 --> 01:00:35,240 Speaker 1: won't do this under the Biden administration. Is that the case, 1159 01:00:35,880 --> 01:00:38,880 Speaker 1: Let's hope. So, I don't know, look at how cataclysmic 1160 01:00:38,960 --> 01:00:43,560 Speaker 1: for our economy supply chain issues originating much of them 1161 01:00:43,600 --> 01:00:47,280 Speaker 1: out of China have been. But can you imagine if 1162 01:00:47,320 --> 01:00:52,720 Speaker 1: we actually tried to go to effectively economic war with China. 1163 01:00:53,000 --> 01:00:57,480 Speaker 1: I don't even know how United States commerce can be disentangled. 1164 01:00:57,520 --> 01:01:00,320 Speaker 1: And for everybody out there, just think about it. McDonalds 1165 01:01:00,400 --> 01:01:03,720 Speaker 1: basically said, oh, you know what, we don't need McDonald's 1166 01:01:03,760 --> 01:01:07,960 Speaker 1: in Russia anymore, and they bullied every single brand to 1167 01:01:08,360 --> 01:01:12,000 Speaker 1: pull out of Russia as a result. We can't do 1168 01:01:12,080 --> 01:01:15,600 Speaker 1: that if China invades Taiwan, even if we want to. 1169 01:01:16,440 --> 01:01:21,000 Speaker 1: And do you feel that Joe Biden, commander in chief, 1170 01:01:21,320 --> 01:01:23,720 Speaker 1: is going after what happened in Afghanistan and after what 1171 01:01:23,760 --> 01:01:26,600 Speaker 1: you've seen happen with Ukraine, is going to be able 1172 01:01:26,600 --> 01:01:28,680 Speaker 1: to finesse the line Buck you talked about. The United 1173 01:01:28,680 --> 01:01:31,960 Speaker 1: States will provide weapons up to a certain level. You 1174 01:01:32,000 --> 01:01:36,400 Speaker 1: can have anti aircraft weapons, but you can't have jets. 1175 01:01:36,520 --> 01:01:40,720 Speaker 1: You can have certain materials, but we're gonna draw the 1176 01:01:40,760 --> 01:01:43,520 Speaker 1: line and how we ship them in. We should be 1177 01:01:43,600 --> 01:01:45,440 Speaker 1: very clear, why are we drawing those lines because we 1178 01:01:45,480 --> 01:01:48,120 Speaker 1: think we go to war with Russia otherwise exactly. So 1179 01:01:48,200 --> 01:01:50,600 Speaker 1: now we look at what's the situation with Taiwan. How 1180 01:01:50,600 --> 01:01:52,680 Speaker 1: do you how do you think we're just gonna you know, 1181 01:01:52,720 --> 01:01:54,760 Speaker 1: we're gonna roll in there with everything we've got. I 1182 01:01:54,760 --> 01:01:57,600 Speaker 1: don't think so, folks, And I don't even if this 1183 01:01:57,680 --> 01:02:01,720 Speaker 1: all starts, because China's threatening to shut, shut, shoot down, 1184 01:02:02,280 --> 01:02:05,000 Speaker 1: Nancy Pelosi's playing if she tries to pay a visit, 1185 01:02:05,040 --> 01:02:07,600 Speaker 1: which I believe would be the first visit by a 1186 01:02:07,680 --> 01:02:09,360 Speaker 1: Speaker of the House. If you're out there and you're saying, 1187 01:02:09,360 --> 01:02:12,400 Speaker 1: why is this significant? It would be the first visit 1188 01:02:12,840 --> 01:02:15,040 Speaker 1: of a Speaker of the House since New Gingrich I 1189 01:02:15,040 --> 01:02:17,320 Speaker 1: think in ninety four. Look, she's got to go. I 1190 01:02:17,360 --> 01:02:20,960 Speaker 1: mean that going now. You know you can't if you 1191 01:02:21,120 --> 01:02:23,680 Speaker 1: if you allow the perception to be that China con 1192 01:02:23,720 --> 01:02:27,400 Speaker 1: dictate US foreign policy. We got big problems. So she's 1193 01:02:27,400 --> 01:02:31,080 Speaker 1: got to go. But it's gonna be it's gonna be tense. Clay, 1194 01:02:31,120 --> 01:02:34,720 Speaker 1: there is no doubt that we are in an incredibly fraught, 1195 01:02:34,840 --> 01:02:38,040 Speaker 1: perilous time. Whereas you just heard President Trump with us 1196 01:02:38,040 --> 01:02:39,640 Speaker 1: in the first hour we just played the cut again, 1197 01:02:40,040 --> 01:02:43,160 Speaker 1: talked about the possibility of World War three. We'll continue 1198 01:02:43,160 --> 01:02:46,080 Speaker 1: to break down. It's Friday. I promise we will take 1199 01:02:46,120 --> 01:02:48,520 Speaker 1: some of your calls.
