1 00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:05,320 Speaker 1: Welcome in our number two Klay Travis buck Sexton show. 2 00:00:05,920 --> 00:00:08,760 Speaker 1: We got a lot of you reacting. We're going to 3 00:00:08,800 --> 00:00:10,280 Speaker 1: get to some of those eight hundred and two A 4 00:00:10,360 --> 00:00:12,640 Speaker 1: two two eight A two. Obviously as the phone line, 5 00:00:12,680 --> 00:00:13,920 Speaker 1: we'll try to take a couple of your calls. 6 00:00:13,920 --> 00:00:14,480 Speaker 2: No guest today. 7 00:00:14,520 --> 00:00:16,320 Speaker 1: By the way, we did mention we're going to talk 8 00:00:16,360 --> 00:00:21,040 Speaker 1: to Jim Jordan tomorrow about explosive information that he has 9 00:00:21,120 --> 00:00:24,440 Speaker 1: uncovered which suggests that the COVID shot, which we now 10 00:00:24,480 --> 00:00:28,080 Speaker 1: know is a lemon and basically worthless, but that top 11 00:00:28,120 --> 00:00:32,760 Speaker 1: executives worked to keep news about the what they thought 12 00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:36,199 Speaker 1: was the success of the COVID shot from going public 13 00:00:36,320 --> 00:00:39,560 Speaker 1: before the twenty twenty election, which Trump has said publicly 14 00:00:40,040 --> 00:00:43,440 Speaker 1: he believed happened, which may well have swung the election 15 00:00:43,560 --> 00:00:47,519 Speaker 1: by itself because the race came down to forty thousand 16 00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:53,040 Speaker 1: votes in Wisconsin, at Georgia and Arizona. 17 00:00:53,479 --> 00:00:54,240 Speaker 2: So who knows. 18 00:00:54,360 --> 00:00:56,120 Speaker 1: I mean, if you had thought, hey, there's going to 19 00:00:56,160 --> 00:00:59,640 Speaker 1: be a vaccine coming, would people have been more likely 20 00:00:59,720 --> 00:01:01,320 Speaker 1: to vote differently? 21 00:01:01,400 --> 00:01:02,800 Speaker 2: I don't think that's a crazy idea. 22 00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:06,000 Speaker 1: Certainly, we know if Hunter Biden's business dealings, if Joe 23 00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:09,480 Speaker 1: Biden's dementia. I mean, the rig job in twenty twenty 24 00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:12,600 Speaker 1: just continues to add different layers. But there was a 25 00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:14,920 Speaker 1: big Spring Court case that I want to talk some about, Buck, 26 00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:16,840 Speaker 1: And you mentioned off the top of the show that 27 00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:18,240 Speaker 1: you listened to a lot of it. 28 00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:18,760 Speaker 2: I was not. 29 00:01:18,959 --> 00:01:21,160 Speaker 1: I'll tell you where I was in a sec I 30 00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:24,200 Speaker 1: was reading about it. But I do want to play 31 00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:26,679 Speaker 1: this because it ties in with the first hour. Do 32 00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:30,720 Speaker 1: you know what happened one year ago today? Joe Biden 33 00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:35,120 Speaker 1: publicly challenged Donald Trump to an early debate. Do you 34 00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:38,280 Speaker 1: remember this, Buck? This is what it sounded like for 35 00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:41,080 Speaker 1: those of you who had forgotten. This was one year 36 00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:41,759 Speaker 1: ago today. 37 00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:44,800 Speaker 3: Listen, Donald Trump lost two debates to me in twenty twenty. 38 00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:47,039 Speaker 3: Since that, he hadn't shown up for debates. Now he's 39 00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:49,520 Speaker 3: acting like he wants to debate me again. Will make 40 00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:52,760 Speaker 3: my day, pal, I'll even do it twice. So let's 41 00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:55,320 Speaker 3: pick the dace. Donald. I hear you're free on Wednesdays. 42 00:01:57,080 --> 00:01:59,640 Speaker 2: So and that was because Trump was going to criminal 43 00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:04,080 Speaker 2: court on wednesdays. Ha ha ha. With the preposterous efforts 44 00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:07,080 Speaker 2: to destroy Trump's ability to run. 45 00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:09,840 Speaker 1: Which they try to day pal it, Buck, is that 46 00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:15,200 Speaker 1: the most disastrous political taunt in history, given what happened later. 47 00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:19,160 Speaker 2: If if they had just listened to me, they would 48 00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:22,160 Speaker 2: have been in a much better spot because their best 49 00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:25,320 Speaker 2: option was Biden. But their best option was Biden with 50 00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:27,640 Speaker 2: no by the time he was making that taunt with 51 00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:31,440 Speaker 2: no debates, That's what they should have done. That was 52 00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:35,200 Speaker 2: the the the fatal flaw in all of this was 53 00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:37,720 Speaker 2: they thought they could pull one over with the debates 54 00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:40,920 Speaker 2: one more time, and given that Trump hadn't debated in 55 00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:43,720 Speaker 2: the primary, the Democrats could have very easily said, well 56 00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:45,720 Speaker 2: we won't. You know, people have seen enough of these 57 00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:48,000 Speaker 2: two anyway. I know it's at some level water under 58 00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:51,880 Speaker 2: the bridge. But they just misplayed this thing. They just 59 00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:54,480 Speaker 2: screwed it up, the same way they misplayed running against 60 00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:58,200 Speaker 2: Trump across the board. Yeah, they totally did. 61 00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:01,800 Speaker 1: And I think, as you break all of this down again, 62 00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:07,520 Speaker 1: that was one year ago and Biden completely blown up. 63 00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:09,200 Speaker 1: And I still think and I wonder if in the 64 00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:11,079 Speaker 1: book they're going to kind of give us an idea 65 00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:14,720 Speaker 1: of what they intended with the June twenty seventh, because 66 00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:18,280 Speaker 1: I had forgotten that he said he'd debate him twice. Remember, 67 00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:20,959 Speaker 1: they didn't even attempt the second debate because the first 68 00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:25,800 Speaker 1: one went so disastrously. But it was Biden making that 69 00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:29,240 Speaker 1: video and taunting Trump about how much he wanted to 70 00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:32,560 Speaker 1: debate that actually put this on the calendar and bucks right. 71 00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:35,040 Speaker 1: If they had listened to him, they could have at 72 00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:38,880 Speaker 1: least continued the vast left wing conspiracy about his health 73 00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:43,440 Speaker 1: until September or October when they did a debate, and 74 00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:45,760 Speaker 1: maybe then they could have shot up Biden with enough 75 00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:49,520 Speaker 1: stuff to make him able to go out and debate. 76 00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:54,040 Speaker 1: I tend to think that it would have been even 77 00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:57,200 Speaker 1: more of an implosion if they had been able to 78 00:03:57,280 --> 00:03:58,960 Speaker 1: keep him in and not been able to make the 79 00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:01,680 Speaker 1: change till September. But he would have been able to run. 80 00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:03,920 Speaker 1: They wouldn't have been able to replace him like they 81 00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:08,040 Speaker 1: did and switch to Kamala at the last possible minute. 82 00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:11,000 Speaker 1: But I did want to get into this. You listen 83 00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:13,080 Speaker 1: to a lot of the discussion, like and I get 84 00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:16,280 Speaker 1: an hour of it. I was pretty deep into it. Yeah, 85 00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:20,040 Speaker 1: for those of you who don't know, major discussed debate, 86 00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:24,200 Speaker 1: major oral argument at the Supreme Court today, and it 87 00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:27,160 Speaker 1: was actually a little bit complicated because there's kind of 88 00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:30,080 Speaker 1: two different parts of what they were arguing, and I'm 89 00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:31,400 Speaker 1: going to try to lay out why. 90 00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:32,400 Speaker 2: I think it's significant. 91 00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:35,960 Speaker 1: And producer Ali, I sent you a cut of Clarence 92 00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:38,320 Speaker 1: Thomas that I think gets to the essence of this 93 00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:41,880 Speaker 1: really really well. So let me know when that cut 94 00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:45,160 Speaker 1: is ready. But it is ready, Okay, So Buck here 95 00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:46,880 Speaker 1: is So for those of you out there who were 96 00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:50,280 Speaker 1: not following this, it is a little bit complicated, and 97 00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:55,599 Speaker 1: just the whole Trump era has been steeped and complicated 98 00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:58,599 Speaker 1: legal arcana as we have been breaking it all down. 99 00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:02,400 Speaker 1: But really this is kind of a two parter that 100 00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:07,279 Speaker 1: they were arguing today. One is the big issue is, hey, 101 00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:12,480 Speaker 1: is it possible for Trump's executive order on birthright citizenship 102 00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:16,520 Speaker 1: to be legal and for him to have the power 103 00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:21,280 Speaker 1: to say that birthright citizenship has been misapplied effectively and 104 00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:26,159 Speaker 1: citizen and kids, children, babies born to illegal immigrants do 105 00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:30,200 Speaker 1: not become automatic American citizens right. People who are here 106 00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:33,479 Speaker 1: in this country illegally do not have the ability to 107 00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:36,160 Speaker 1: come across our border have a baby, and then your 108 00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:39,320 Speaker 1: baby automatically becomes an American citizen. That's a big picture question. 109 00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:45,279 Speaker 1: But structurally this is impacting everything that Trump is trying 110 00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:49,359 Speaker 1: to do. The question is should a federal district court 111 00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:56,320 Speaker 1: judge be able to effectively enjoin a presidential action nationwide. 112 00:05:56,320 --> 00:05:59,320 Speaker 1: They're around six hundred and fifty ish of these federal 113 00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:04,080 Speaker 1: district court judges, right, And the only person who has 114 00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:11,280 Speaker 1: that level of universal constitutional authority based on just what 115 00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:13,320 Speaker 1: he thinks or she thinks it's always been a heat 116 00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:16,040 Speaker 1: is the president. So there's a problem here. 117 00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:20,159 Speaker 2: No one Supreme Court justice can say this is the 118 00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:24,880 Speaker 2: deal for everybody all across the country. But one federal judge, 119 00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:28,000 Speaker 2: a lower and even lower than an appeals court judge, 120 00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:31,160 Speaker 2: one one circuit court judge could say this is where 121 00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:36,440 Speaker 2: we're getting into the universal universal injunction issue. And I 122 00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:38,880 Speaker 2: think it's very interesting to Clay because you know, with 123 00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:42,760 Speaker 2: the two sides arguing this morning, the side that was 124 00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:45,880 Speaker 2: arguing against on behalf of I guess the state of 125 00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:48,919 Speaker 2: New Jersey, which is saying our welfare programs will be 126 00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:52,960 Speaker 2: too burdened by not knowing if somebody is a citizen 127 00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:55,720 Speaker 2: or you know, if they've been given citizenship, whether born 128 00:06:55,760 --> 00:06:57,680 Speaker 2: in the state or outside the state. I mean this 129 00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:03,240 Speaker 2: It is a pretty complicated series of interlocking legal issues here, 130 00:07:03,279 --> 00:07:05,160 Speaker 2: but I can say this one of the things that 131 00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:08,440 Speaker 2: kept coming up was they said, yeah, okay, sure, it's 132 00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:10,600 Speaker 2: a problem for a federal judge to just be able 133 00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:13,560 Speaker 2: to do that unless it's like really important and they're 134 00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:18,040 Speaker 2: really sure. And that's more or less what the anti 135 00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:20,840 Speaker 2: Trump side is kept saying, to which the judges, you know, 136 00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:24,119 Speaker 2: the justices, had to say, you guys do this a lot, 137 00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:26,120 Speaker 2: and I'm sure you always think that the people that 138 00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:28,600 Speaker 2: you like are doing this because it's so extreme and 139 00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:32,240 Speaker 2: so necessary. But it can't just be on the whim 140 00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:35,200 Speaker 2: of a lower circuit or a lower circuit court judge. 141 00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:37,400 Speaker 2: What the policy for the whole country is. 142 00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:40,760 Speaker 1: Yeah, and it actually goes to me and this is 143 00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:44,600 Speaker 1: me nerding out a little bit legally. It actually goes 144 00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:47,960 Speaker 1: to the essence of separation of powers because there are, 145 00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:51,040 Speaker 1: in theory three co equal branches of the United States government, right, 146 00:07:51,080 --> 00:07:54,200 Speaker 1: take you back to eighth grade history or whatever. The executive, 147 00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:59,800 Speaker 1: the congressional branch, and the judicial. The judicial branch rely 148 00:07:59,920 --> 00:08:02,600 Speaker 1: on the authority of the Supreme Court. That's why it's 149 00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:05,360 Speaker 1: called the Supreme Court. In order for something to happen, 150 00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:08,960 Speaker 1: five Supreme Court justices have to agree on it. Circuit 151 00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:12,240 Speaker 1: Court's buck in order for a circuit court ruling to 152 00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:16,520 Speaker 1: be an effect, at least two out of three circuit 153 00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:19,960 Speaker 1: court judges have to agree on something. What is happening 154 00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:24,800 Speaker 1: with the federal district court is one judge is basically 155 00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:29,480 Speaker 1: executing on a level that Circuit Court judges who are 156 00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:32,800 Speaker 1: above them, and Supreme Court judges who are above those 157 00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:36,880 Speaker 1: circuit those circuit court judges do not have. In other words, 158 00:08:37,160 --> 00:08:41,360 Speaker 1: the single authority of a district court judge is actually 159 00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:45,760 Speaker 1: higher on the flow chart than two of their superior 160 00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:48,439 Speaker 1: court judges. And that might sound a little complicated, but 161 00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:51,640 Speaker 1: I'm trying to explain. And Clarence Thomas pointed out that 162 00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:55,760 Speaker 1: this has really only become an issue in the modern day, 163 00:08:56,040 --> 00:08:58,000 Speaker 1: and this is the cut I pulled because I think 164 00:08:58,040 --> 00:09:01,280 Speaker 1: he does a good job of distilling how things have changed. 165 00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:10,920 Speaker 4: General. When were the first universal injunctions used. 166 00:09:12,520 --> 00:09:14,560 Speaker 5: We believe that the best reading of that is what 167 00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:17,200 Speaker 5: you said in Trump against Hawaii, which is that Wartz 168 00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:19,920 Speaker 5: in nineteen sixty three was really the first universal injunction. 169 00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:22,800 Speaker 5: There's a dispute about Perkins against Luken's Oil going back 170 00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:25,360 Speaker 5: to nineteen forty, and of course we point to the 171 00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:29,000 Speaker 5: Court's opinion that reversed that universal injunction issued by the 172 00:09:29,040 --> 00:09:31,960 Speaker 5: d C Circuit and said it's profoundly wrong. Now, if 173 00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:35,599 Speaker 5: you look at the cases at the either party site, 174 00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:38,480 Speaker 5: you see a common theme the cases that we cite, 175 00:09:38,559 --> 00:09:43,439 Speaker 5: like National Treasury Treasury's Employment Union, Perkins against Lukens Oil Frothingham, 176 00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:47,439 Speaker 5: and Massachusetts against Melon, going back to Scott against Donald 177 00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:49,400 Speaker 5: and all of those, those are cases where the court 178 00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:52,560 Speaker 5: considered and addressed the sort of universal in that case, 179 00:09:52,559 --> 00:09:56,840 Speaker 5: statewide issue of provision of injunctive relief. When the court 180 00:09:56,880 --> 00:10:00,280 Speaker 5: is considered it addressed, this is consistently said, have to 181 00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:02,440 Speaker 5: limit the remedy to the plane of Supperian court and 182 00:10:02,480 --> 00:10:03,520 Speaker 5: complaining of that remedy. 183 00:10:03,640 --> 00:10:08,240 Speaker 4: So we survived until the nineteen sixties without universal injunctions. 184 00:10:08,440 --> 00:10:09,959 Speaker 2: That's exactly correct, and in fact. 185 00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:12,840 Speaker 5: Those are very limited, very rare, even in the nineteen sixties. 186 00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:16,000 Speaker 5: It really exploded in two thousand and seven in our 187 00:10:16,120 --> 00:10:18,520 Speaker 5: curre petition in Summers against Earth Island Institute, we pointed 188 00:10:18,559 --> 00:10:20,360 Speaker 5: out that the Ninth Circuit had started doing this in 189 00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:22,760 Speaker 5: a whole bunch of cases involving environmental claims. 190 00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:25,800 Speaker 1: Okay, now again this is in the weeds, but I 191 00:10:25,840 --> 00:10:28,120 Speaker 1: thought that Clarence Thomas did a really good job. This 192 00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:31,439 Speaker 1: is only something that's happened recently in our two hundred 193 00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:35,600 Speaker 1: and fifty ish year history. And usually Bucking again, this 194 00:10:35,640 --> 00:10:36,439 Speaker 1: is going into the weeds. 195 00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:38,280 Speaker 2: Just also the Ninth The Ninth Circuit is the most 196 00:10:38,320 --> 00:10:41,559 Speaker 2: lunatic left training activist judicial circuit in the country, so 197 00:10:41,679 --> 00:10:43,560 Speaker 2: that's where they started doing this no surprise. 198 00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:50,520 Speaker 1: Most Supreme Court cases come about because the circuit Court's 199 00:10:50,920 --> 00:10:55,079 Speaker 1: ruled different directions. That is, as Buck just mentioned, the 200 00:10:55,160 --> 00:10:59,000 Speaker 1: Ninth Circuit is like the West Coast California prominent where 201 00:10:59,040 --> 00:11:04,120 Speaker 1: I live. I am in the sixth Circuit. That's Tennessee, Kentucky, Ohio, Michigan. 202 00:11:04,160 --> 00:11:06,840 Speaker 1: I think a couple of states like that. The Fifth 203 00:11:06,880 --> 00:11:10,319 Speaker 1: Circuit is traditionally seen as one of the most conservative. 204 00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:13,520 Speaker 1: That's Texas, Louisiana. I don't have the circuits in front 205 00:11:13,520 --> 00:11:16,320 Speaker 1: of me right now. Usually the Supreme Court is called 206 00:11:16,360 --> 00:11:19,840 Speaker 1: on to address circuit splits. That's where the Ninth Circuit, 207 00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:22,160 Speaker 1: in the Fifth Circuit may have had a different interpretation 208 00:11:22,400 --> 00:11:25,160 Speaker 1: of the law. Those are the most fertile, the most 209 00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:28,000 Speaker 1: germane for the Supreme Court to step in on because 210 00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:31,400 Speaker 1: we need a nationwide decision, and there are two different 211 00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:37,040 Speaker 1: circuit courts ruling differently. Here you have one random judge 212 00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:39,840 Speaker 1: and I don't know, Boston, Massachusetts, deciding what the law 213 00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:42,160 Speaker 1: should be for the whole nation, or it could be 214 00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:46,000 Speaker 1: one random judge in middle of nowhere, Texas. It is 215 00:11:46,120 --> 00:11:51,520 Speaker 1: a direct attack upon the entire legitimacy of the courts 216 00:11:51,720 --> 00:11:54,680 Speaker 1: to give a district court judge more power than his 217 00:11:54,760 --> 00:11:57,160 Speaker 1: superiors on the Circuit and Supreme. 218 00:11:56,840 --> 00:12:03,640 Speaker 2: Court, and they can effectively order the entire federal government 219 00:12:04,360 --> 00:12:06,720 Speaker 2: as though they run the federal government. I mean, yes 220 00:12:06,760 --> 00:12:08,560 Speaker 2: there will be appeals, and yes they'll go to the 221 00:12:08,559 --> 00:12:11,160 Speaker 2: Supreme Court, but for a period of time they get 222 00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:15,479 Speaker 2: to be the legal emperor, if you will, of America. 223 00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:18,640 Speaker 2: And this wasn't a problem really until they made it 224 00:12:18,679 --> 00:12:22,080 Speaker 2: a problem, and they made it a problem by having 225 00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:24,440 Speaker 2: these by these left wing judges. We all know how 226 00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:27,360 Speaker 2: this works. You know. They don't feel bound by the 227 00:12:27,360 --> 00:12:31,800 Speaker 2: constraints of language or law or tradition or anything else. 228 00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:34,560 Speaker 2: It's this is so so important that we have to 229 00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:36,959 Speaker 2: smash the things that we used to rely on to 230 00:12:37,040 --> 00:12:40,000 Speaker 2: keep us from doing this. And that's really a large part. 231 00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:42,800 Speaker 2: I think a lot of the argument today. So I mean, 232 00:12:42,800 --> 00:12:45,679 Speaker 2: this is really this wasn't even about the merits of 233 00:12:46,400 --> 00:12:49,400 Speaker 2: whether a birthright citizenship extends to those who are in 234 00:12:49,400 --> 00:12:52,520 Speaker 2: the country illegally or not, although it could if it 235 00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:55,920 Speaker 2: went against the administration terribly. The Supreme Court right could 236 00:12:55,960 --> 00:12:59,040 Speaker 2: come down and say, you know what, we think, even 237 00:12:59,080 --> 00:13:00,920 Speaker 2: just taking a peek at the merits, this is so 238 00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:06,319 Speaker 2: bad that we're actually gonna uphold this universal injunction until 239 00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:08,280 Speaker 2: we hear the merits on the case, and that would 240 00:13:08,280 --> 00:13:11,920 Speaker 2: be a huge win for the non Trump side. The 241 00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:13,320 Speaker 2: other side of this, I think Clay is right. They 242 00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:17,720 Speaker 2: could issue guidance on the scope of the injunction specifically 243 00:13:17,720 --> 00:13:19,640 Speaker 2: in this case. That would probably be the best thing 244 00:13:19,679 --> 00:13:23,960 Speaker 2: you could get from the Supreme Court on this. But 245 00:13:24,040 --> 00:13:27,120 Speaker 2: to me, I just sit here saying, Okay, eventually, we're 246 00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:29,800 Speaker 2: gonna have to look at whether you can steal citizenship 247 00:13:29,880 --> 00:13:34,880 Speaker 2: or not, because if citizenship can be given to people 248 00:13:35,240 --> 00:13:38,160 Speaker 2: who have broken the law to get it, you have 249 00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:40,760 Speaker 2: debased and and I know it's been going on, and 250 00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:43,200 Speaker 2: it has been wrong the whole time. You have debased 251 00:13:43,200 --> 00:13:45,240 Speaker 2: and devalued what it means to be an American in 252 00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:48,000 Speaker 2: a way that I think unfortunately is irreparable. I agree 253 00:13:48,040 --> 00:13:48,920 Speaker 2: one hundred percent with that. 254 00:13:49,240 --> 00:13:51,040 Speaker 1: Here's the question for you, and we can debate it 255 00:13:51,160 --> 00:13:52,679 Speaker 1: or discuss when we come back, because I think it's 256 00:13:52,720 --> 00:13:54,800 Speaker 1: one of the challenges the Court's going to be grappling with. 257 00:13:56,559 --> 00:14:00,400 Speaker 1: How do you address all of the people who had 258 00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:05,479 Speaker 1: citizenship for decades based on the belief that birthright citizenship 259 00:14:05,559 --> 00:14:06,760 Speaker 1: did convey American city. 260 00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:09,520 Speaker 2: Well, the EO makes this. The EO only affects those 261 00:14:10,440 --> 00:14:12,160 Speaker 2: after the EO goes into effect. 262 00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:13,839 Speaker 1: I get that, but I think there's going to be 263 00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:17,280 Speaker 1: an equal protection argument on behalf of everybody else. They're 264 00:14:17,280 --> 00:14:19,720 Speaker 1: going to say, this is an arbitrary thing for a 265 00:14:19,720 --> 00:14:23,400 Speaker 1: president to be able to do under his executive authority. 266 00:14:23,520 --> 00:14:25,880 Speaker 1: I agree that it should happenship is inherently kind of 267 00:14:25,960 --> 00:14:27,600 Speaker 1: arbitrary when you think about it, the whole. 268 00:14:27,720 --> 00:14:28,960 Speaker 2: Totally, totally is. 269 00:14:29,280 --> 00:14:32,080 Speaker 1: I mean, look, I think it's an interesting discussion because 270 00:14:32,120 --> 00:14:33,880 Speaker 1: I think that's one of the challenges they're going to 271 00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:37,600 Speaker 1: grapple with the most is that all of a sudden anyway, 272 00:14:37,600 --> 00:14:38,760 Speaker 1: we'll talk about it when we come back. 273 00:14:39,960 --> 00:14:43,520 Speaker 2: Some opportunities are immediate, others take time to develop. Consider this. 274 00:14:43,880 --> 00:14:46,040 Speaker 2: There are some very well informed people who really believe 275 00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:48,360 Speaker 2: that our nation has an asset that could be worth 276 00:14:48,360 --> 00:14:51,120 Speaker 2: as much as one hundred and fifty trillion dollars, and 277 00:14:51,120 --> 00:14:54,160 Speaker 2: that asset has been buried under American soil and may 278 00:14:54,200 --> 00:14:56,520 Speaker 2: well be the basis for creating such a fund. Just 279 00:14:56,520 --> 00:14:58,400 Speaker 2: to give you an idea of the impact of this resource, 280 00:14:58,400 --> 00:15:01,080 Speaker 2: it could pay off our national debt four times over. 281 00:15:01,480 --> 00:15:03,680 Speaker 2: You might say this asset is hiding in plain sight. 282 00:15:03,800 --> 00:15:06,720 Speaker 2: Time will tell if the Trump administration releases it to 283 00:15:06,760 --> 00:15:09,520 Speaker 2: the public. But Jim Rickards, former advisor of the White 284 00:15:09,520 --> 00:15:12,440 Speaker 2: House and Federal Reserve, says, if you're over fifty, this 285 00:15:12,520 --> 00:15:14,600 Speaker 2: could be your best chance to build lasting wealth from 286 00:15:14,600 --> 00:15:17,040 Speaker 2: a once in a century event. To hear more of 287 00:15:17,120 --> 00:15:20,600 Speaker 2: Jim's thinking, go online to birthright twenty twenty five dot com. 288 00:15:20,680 --> 00:15:22,600 Speaker 2: If he's right, it could make President Trump the most 289 00:15:22,640 --> 00:15:26,400 Speaker 2: popular presidents in history and help millions of investors retire wealthy. 290 00:15:26,680 --> 00:15:29,360 Speaker 2: Go to birthright twenty twenty five dot com to get 291 00:15:29,400 --> 00:15:33,120 Speaker 2: the details free of charge. That's Birthright twenty twenty five 292 00:15:33,240 --> 00:15:35,520 Speaker 2: dot com paid for by Paradigm Press. 293 00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:41,760 Speaker 6: Stories are freedom stories of America, inspirational stories that you 294 00:15:41,880 --> 00:15:45,920 Speaker 6: unite us all each day, spend time with Clay and 295 00:15:45,960 --> 00:15:49,280 Speaker 6: find them on the free iHeartRadio app or wherever you 296 00:15:49,400 --> 00:15:50,400 Speaker 6: get your podcasts. 297 00:15:50,920 --> 00:15:55,040 Speaker 2: Remember, Don Lemon, you used to have a show at CNN. 298 00:15:55,560 --> 00:15:57,560 Speaker 2: I in fact went on that show many times when 299 00:15:57,600 --> 00:16:01,160 Speaker 2: CNN was paying me very little to be ambushed by 300 00:16:01,200 --> 00:16:03,920 Speaker 2: morons on TV, and then they asked me to keep 301 00:16:03,920 --> 00:16:06,560 Speaker 2: doing it, and I said no. This was in the 302 00:16:06,600 --> 00:16:09,960 Speaker 2: pre Scott Jennings era where you would have three people 303 00:16:10,160 --> 00:16:11,600 Speaker 2: and they would just cut your mic and they would 304 00:16:11,680 --> 00:16:14,040 Speaker 2: chat at you and they didn't actually allow you to speak. Really, 305 00:16:15,040 --> 00:16:18,760 Speaker 2: So yeah, Don Lemon is still out there talking about 306 00:16:18,760 --> 00:16:22,840 Speaker 2: things here. He is very upset Clay about the South 307 00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:27,480 Speaker 2: African africaner refugees play nineteen this. 308 00:16:27,840 --> 00:16:32,560 Speaker 7: South African Farmer bullet, which is the most blatantly obvious 309 00:16:32,840 --> 00:16:37,440 Speaker 7: racist ever. It is blatantly obvious the way that we 310 00:16:37,560 --> 00:16:40,640 Speaker 7: treat white South Africans, who, by the way, for the 311 00:16:40,680 --> 00:16:43,120 Speaker 7: most part, and I am generalizing here, some of the 312 00:16:43,200 --> 00:16:45,560 Speaker 7: wealthiest people are well to do people in the country. 313 00:16:45,920 --> 00:16:48,840 Speaker 7: They speak their language, they own most of the land 314 00:16:48,840 --> 00:16:51,920 Speaker 7: and the property, and somehow they're being granted a fast 315 00:16:51,960 --> 00:16:54,840 Speaker 7: track to become Americans while they're trying to cut down 316 00:16:54,840 --> 00:16:56,600 Speaker 7: on immigration from other countries. 317 00:16:56,640 --> 00:16:59,440 Speaker 2: You know you get that from where from the brown people? 318 00:17:03,200 --> 00:17:05,480 Speaker 2: First of all, believe it or not done. There have 319 00:17:05,520 --> 00:17:08,399 Speaker 2: been times in history in other countries where a small 320 00:17:08,440 --> 00:17:11,439 Speaker 2: minority of the population or even a considerable minority of 321 00:17:11,440 --> 00:17:14,680 Speaker 2: the population had a lot of wealth and prestige in society, 322 00:17:15,160 --> 00:17:17,399 Speaker 2: and society turned against them and got really racist and 323 00:17:17,440 --> 00:17:22,520 Speaker 2: things got really really bad. See the twentieth century in Europe. Right, Like, 324 00:17:23,520 --> 00:17:25,439 Speaker 2: I just but people just want to be upset about this. 325 00:17:25,680 --> 00:17:31,359 Speaker 2: What it's fifty people, Clay, I think that there is 326 00:17:31,560 --> 00:17:36,600 Speaker 2: very limited things I think to criticize Trump for. I 327 00:17:36,640 --> 00:17:37,280 Speaker 2: really mean that. 328 00:17:37,359 --> 00:17:40,960 Speaker 1: I mean, stock market is up for the year, border 329 00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:45,600 Speaker 1: is secure, prices of almost all goods or down.

Welcome 350 00:18:52,280 --> 00:18:55,679 Speaker 1: back in Clay, Travis Buck Sexton Show. Appreciate all of 351 00:18:55,720 --> 00:18:58,040 Speaker 1: you hanging out with us. We are rolling through the 352 00:18:58,119 --> 00:19:03,280 Speaker 1: Thursday edition of the program and there is a ton 353 00:19:03,400 --> 00:19:05,919 Speaker 1: out there. We were just talking about the importance of 354 00:19:05,960 --> 00:19:10,360 Speaker 1: the Supreme Court hearing that is underway or was underway 355 00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:14,720 Speaker 1: earlier today having to do with birthright citizenship and also 356 00:19:15,760 --> 00:19:19,840 Speaker 1: with the power of federal District Court judges to issue 357 00:19:19,840 --> 00:19:25,960 Speaker 1: these universal injunctions and how that can impact things going forward. 358 00:19:26,119 --> 00:19:30,320 Speaker 1: And I do think it's worth circling back around as 359 00:19:30,480 --> 00:19:34,880 Speaker 1: Trump two point zero is underway. The entire Democrat Party 360 00:19:35,200 --> 00:19:39,880 Speaker 1: is in disarray, the fallout of the vast left wing 361 00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:44,679 Speaker 1: conspiracy relating to Biden's dementia and the cover up the 362 00:19:44,760 --> 00:19:48,280 Speaker 1: fact that Kamala Harris is a joke, and there is, 363 00:19:48,760 --> 00:19:53,520 Speaker 1: alongside of Tim Wall's, no real chief spokesperson for the 364 00:19:53,560 --> 00:19:58,760 Speaker 1: Democrat Party to even fight back. The Resistance two point 365 00:19:58,880 --> 00:20:02,600 Speaker 1: zero base league doesn't exist. There's not even women walking 366 00:20:02,640 --> 00:20:06,560 Speaker 1: around in Vagina hats now crying in the streets. There 367 00:20:06,640 --> 00:20:11,200 Speaker 1: isn't even anything at all to push back against what 368 00:20:11,240 --> 00:20:16,240 Speaker 1: Trump is doing but for Buck, these universal injunctions. 369 00:20:16,680 --> 00:20:17,680 Speaker 2: And I want to mention. 370 00:20:19,320 --> 00:20:26,760 Speaker 1: This too, because this morning I've read about Trump's trip 371 00:20:26,800 --> 00:20:31,280 Speaker 1: to the Middle East. These are top Democrat officials. This 372 00:20:31,400 --> 00:20:33,879 Speaker 1: is Axios this morning. I want you to listen that 373 00:20:34,200 --> 00:20:37,840 Speaker 1: speech that Trump gave in Saudi Arabia. It was really 374 00:20:37,880 --> 00:20:42,400 Speaker 1: pretty incredible. This is what top Democrat officials told Axios. 375 00:20:42,440 --> 00:20:46,120 Speaker 1: Listen to this Buck quote, Gosh, I wish I could 376 00:20:46,200 --> 00:20:50,000 Speaker 1: work for an administration that could move that quickly. These 377 00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:53,120 Speaker 1: are top Democrat officials. Listen to these quotes. He does 378 00:20:53,280 --> 00:20:56,880 Speaker 1: all of this and it's kind of silence. It's met 379 00:20:56,880 --> 00:21:00,800 Speaker 1: with a shrug, said Ned Price, a former senior State 380 00:21:00,840 --> 00:21:04,960 Speaker 1: Department official. He has the ability to do things politically 381 00:21:05,400 --> 00:21:10,120 Speaker 1: that previous presidents did not because he has complete, unquestioned 382 00:21:10,119 --> 00:21:12,480 Speaker 1: authority over the Republican Caucus. 383 00:21:12,800 --> 00:21:16,560 Speaker 2: Another quote, it's men and I work together at the CIA. 384 00:21:16,680 --> 00:21:20,960 Speaker 1: By the way, Okay, yeah. 385 00:21:19,760 --> 00:21:20,920 Speaker 2: Here's a third quote. 386 00:21:21,200 --> 00:21:24,800 Speaker 1: It's hard not to be simultaneously terrified at the thought 387 00:21:24,840 --> 00:21:27,920 Speaker 1: of the damage he can cause with such power and 388 00:21:28,160 --> 00:21:34,480 Speaker 1: awed by his willingness to brazenly shatter so many harmful taboos, 389 00:21:35,320 --> 00:21:39,280 Speaker 1: said Rob Malley, relating to what Trump is doing in 390 00:21:39,320 --> 00:21:40,040 Speaker 1: the Middle East. 391 00:21:40,280 --> 00:21:43,280 Speaker 2: Did you even speech? Yeah? I did. It was incredible. 392 00:21:43,520 --> 00:21:45,520 Speaker 2: I listened to the whole thing as I was making 393 00:21:45,520 --> 00:21:48,679 Speaker 2: to carry eggs and watching the baby, double tasking like 394 00:21:48,720 --> 00:21:54,159 Speaker 2: a dad does. And Clay it was a phenomenal speech, truly, Yes. 395 00:21:55,000 --> 00:21:59,000 Speaker 1: And what but what I thought was interesting is it 396 00:21:59,080 --> 00:22:03,399 Speaker 1: was such a good speech that even Democrats who hate 397 00:22:03,440 --> 00:22:06,760 Speaker 1: Trump are kind of in awe of how this trip 398 00:22:06,840 --> 00:22:10,720 Speaker 1: has gone. And I do think and you'll really appreciate this, obviously, 399 00:22:10,760 --> 00:22:15,320 Speaker 1: with the CIA background, how challenging what he has managed 400 00:22:15,320 --> 00:22:19,840 Speaker 1: to pull off is he's got the UAE Qatar and 401 00:22:19,920 --> 00:22:24,720 Speaker 1: Saudi Arabia all competing to see who can throw him 402 00:22:25,160 --> 00:22:32,440 Speaker 1: the best state visit party. He's got Syria celebrating America 403 00:22:32,960 --> 00:22:37,480 Speaker 1: in the streets, and he has isolated Iran now to 404 00:22:37,520 --> 00:22:41,800 Speaker 1: the point where, other than Russia and maybe China, which 405 00:22:41,840 --> 00:22:47,480 Speaker 1: we know already were traditional allies, who in the Middle 406 00:22:47,480 --> 00:22:49,760 Speaker 1: East has even got Iran's back now. 407 00:22:50,600 --> 00:22:51,879 Speaker 2: I know some people in. 408 00:22:51,760 --> 00:22:56,159 Speaker 1: Israel are upset about Trump's closeness to the UAE Qatar 409 00:22:56,280 --> 00:23:00,440 Speaker 1: in Saudi Arabia, but I would suggest that that has 410 00:23:00,600 --> 00:23:04,479 Speaker 1: led to Trump being able to put more pressure on 411 00:23:04,560 --> 00:23:09,080 Speaker 1: Iran than maybe any president in modern history has ever been. 412 00:23:08,920 --> 00:23:13,520 Speaker 2: Able to do. Trump says that as of today, he 413 00:23:13,640 --> 00:23:16,000 Speaker 2: is very close to a deal with Iran that was 414 00:23:16,160 --> 00:23:18,240 Speaker 2: as part of this part of this trip. That's what's 415 00:23:18,240 --> 00:23:21,080 Speaker 2: going on there. And when he was speaking at that 416 00:23:21,240 --> 00:23:25,480 Speaker 2: Katari round table, he said, iron can't have a nuclear weapon. 417 00:23:25,680 --> 00:23:28,320 Speaker 2: They get it, but they're very they're getting very close 418 00:23:28,359 --> 00:23:32,159 Speaker 2: to doing maybe a deal. I just want to say, 419 00:23:32,440 --> 00:23:34,720 Speaker 2: we've made this joke for about a decade now, Clay 420 00:23:35,200 --> 00:23:39,040 Speaker 2: that if Trump came out and said, guys, we've got 421 00:23:39,200 --> 00:23:44,359 Speaker 2: great news. We have managed the administration's project to cure 422 00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:48,280 Speaker 2: cancer is a success, there would be some way the democrat. 423 00:23:48,359 --> 00:23:50,520 Speaker 2: First of all, the Democrats wouldn't believe it, and then 424 00:23:50,560 --> 00:23:53,960 Speaker 2: they would say, you know what funding did he use 425 00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:56,520 Speaker 2: for this? And they would have all of these objections, 426 00:23:56,560 --> 00:23:59,439 Speaker 2: whether it's process objections or whatever, doesn't matter what it is, 427 00:23:59,440 --> 00:24:01,560 Speaker 2: they'll find a way. I do not be happy for 428 00:24:01,640 --> 00:24:05,520 Speaker 2: whatever Trump does. If he gets a nuclear deal, which 429 00:24:05,520 --> 00:24:09,080 Speaker 2: has been a Democrat dream, I know that say, oh, 430 00:24:09,080 --> 00:24:11,680 Speaker 2: we got one with Obama, wasn't a very good deal. 431 00:24:12,280 --> 00:24:15,400 Speaker 2: If Trump gets a deal, are they going to say, well, 432 00:24:15,440 --> 00:24:16,960 Speaker 2: I guess they'll just say it's not a good deal. 433 00:24:18,600 --> 00:24:21,800 Speaker 2: There's nothing he can do that will make them say, 434 00:24:22,160 --> 00:24:24,560 Speaker 2: you know what, this guy's actually got something. Even though 435 00:24:24,560 --> 00:24:27,040 Speaker 2: he can't run again and everything else, they will just 436 00:24:27,200 --> 00:24:30,040 Speaker 2: oppose him to op pose. And this is I think 437 00:24:30,080 --> 00:24:32,600 Speaker 2: what you see with the whole trip, and also with 438 00:24:33,119 --> 00:24:34,879 Speaker 2: a lot of what the not everything, but a lot 439 00:24:34,880 --> 00:24:37,200 Speaker 2: of what the administration is doing so far. You just say, 440 00:24:37,920 --> 00:24:41,640 Speaker 2: these are just objectively good things to be trying to accomplish, 441 00:24:41,720 --> 00:24:46,359 Speaker 2: and there's objectively real progress happening on them all. And 442 00:24:46,400 --> 00:24:48,080 Speaker 2: you get people that are still saying that this is 443 00:24:48,080 --> 00:24:51,119 Speaker 2: like fascism or something. I mean, there's this delusion they. 444 00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:53,760 Speaker 1: Live in well, and I think this is why the 445 00:24:54,280 --> 00:24:57,520 Speaker 1: putting them on the defense with the Joe Biden aspect 446 00:24:57,760 --> 00:25:02,040 Speaker 1: is so important. You and I think it was ludicrous 447 00:25:02,480 --> 00:25:06,160 Speaker 1: that the twenty twenty two election in any way turned 448 00:25:06,320 --> 00:25:10,920 Speaker 1: on January sixth. Whatever you think about Dobbs, at least 449 00:25:10,960 --> 00:25:14,680 Speaker 1: that was a tangible political action that people felt compelled 450 00:25:14,720 --> 00:25:17,880 Speaker 1: to respond to. But the idea that anybody in November 451 00:25:17,880 --> 00:25:21,600 Speaker 1: of twenty twenty two reacted in their voting patterns based 452 00:25:21,640 --> 00:25:25,080 Speaker 1: on what happened on January sixth is frankly crazy. But 453 00:25:25,200 --> 00:25:28,639 Speaker 1: the media made it seem like such a big deal 454 00:25:29,200 --> 00:25:32,800 Speaker 1: that I think some people were motivated by that. I think, 455 00:25:32,840 --> 00:25:35,080 Speaker 1: what what I jotted this now during one of the breaks, 456 00:25:36,960 --> 00:25:39,000 Speaker 1: I'm going to give Jake Tapper a small measure of 457 00:25:39,200 --> 00:25:44,639 Speaker 1: praisier Buck and I just I see your face. I 458 00:25:44,760 --> 00:25:48,440 Speaker 1: understand that many of you out there also. He likes football, 459 00:25:48,680 --> 00:25:51,280 Speaker 1: Clay likes football. I knew this was going to happen. 460 00:25:51,920 --> 00:25:55,439 Speaker 1: I'm telling you why, Jake Tapper writing this book is 461 00:25:55,480 --> 00:26:00,280 Speaker 1: going to be impossible for Democrats to avoid because it's 462 00:26:00,320 --> 00:26:05,000 Speaker 1: one of their own writing it. If there are lots 463 00:26:05,000 --> 00:26:09,720 Speaker 1: of very talented quote unquote right wing authors who could 464 00:26:09,800 --> 00:26:14,760 Speaker 1: write a book about Biden's dementia, and they would forswear it. 465 00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:18,199 Speaker 1: They would ignore it, just like they have ignored you 466 00:26:18,320 --> 00:26:22,800 Speaker 1: and me and Sean Hannity and Glenn Beck and all 467 00:26:22,800 --> 00:26:25,719 Speaker 1: the other people on the Premiere Network, Jesse Kelly pointing 468 00:26:25,720 --> 00:26:28,800 Speaker 1: this out for years, just like they have ignored many 469 00:26:28,840 --> 00:26:33,600 Speaker 1: of the people on Fox News, just like they have ignored, frankly, 470 00:26:33,640 --> 00:26:35,960 Speaker 1: even the Wall Street Journal, when the Wall Street Journal 471 00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:41,040 Speaker 1: had a big piece about Biden's clear lack of cognitive ability. 472 00:26:41,960 --> 00:26:46,000 Speaker 1: They can't ignore Jake Tapper. It's like if Rachel Maddow 473 00:26:46,200 --> 00:26:50,320 Speaker 1: suddenly sits down and says, we got major problems. Joe 474 00:26:50,320 --> 00:26:53,879 Speaker 1: Biden has dementia which she knew, but which she covered 475 00:26:53,960 --> 00:26:56,800 Speaker 1: up and pretended she didn't. They have to cover it 476 00:26:56,880 --> 00:27:01,840 Speaker 1: on CNN, they have to cover it on MSNBC, they 477 00:27:01,880 --> 00:27:04,440 Speaker 1: have to cover it in The New Yorker, at ABC, 478 00:27:04,680 --> 00:27:10,080 Speaker 1: at CBS, at NBC. It's one of their own telling 479 00:27:10,160 --> 00:27:14,680 Speaker 1: the story. And that is the only praise I can 480 00:27:14,760 --> 00:27:19,360 Speaker 1: give Jake Tapper. If Jesse Waters writes this book, they 481 00:27:19,480 --> 00:27:23,119 Speaker 1: just say, oh, yeah, of course, that Fox News host. 482 00:27:23,200 --> 00:27:25,320 Speaker 1: If you or I write this book. They're like, oh, 483 00:27:25,400 --> 00:27:28,080 Speaker 1: of course, the guys who sit where Rush used to 484 00:27:28,280 --> 00:27:32,800 Speaker 1: the Jake Tapper is one of their own, and he 485 00:27:32,960 --> 00:27:37,199 Speaker 1: is holding up the dementia and they feel compelled to 486 00:27:37,359 --> 00:27:41,000 Speaker 1: have to cover it now. Is partly to your point, 487 00:27:41,240 --> 00:27:44,080 Speaker 1: the fact that they they'd rather be dumb than be 488 00:27:44,200 --> 00:27:47,000 Speaker 1: seen as dishonest. Yes, Are they going to claim that 489 00:27:47,040 --> 00:27:49,040 Speaker 1: they got lied to? Yes, which is why I liked 490 00:27:49,040 --> 00:27:52,160 Speaker 1: your tweet yesterday that you brought up yesterday. Why don't 491 00:27:52,200 --> 00:27:56,439 Speaker 1: you tell us who lied about Karie Jean Pierre. You know, 492 00:27:56,880 --> 00:27:59,520 Speaker 1: has there ever been a more public liar in the 493 00:27:59,600 --> 00:28:04,120 Speaker 1: history of the United States than Karine Jean Pierre Zensaki, 494 00:28:04,160 --> 00:28:07,199 Speaker 1: who has her own show on MSNBC. She didn't know, 495 00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:11,400 Speaker 1: She didn't know when when Jake Sullivan, when Biden can't 496 00:28:11,440 --> 00:28:14,080 Speaker 1: remember his name. They didn't talk about it inside of 497 00:28:14,119 --> 00:28:14,720 Speaker 1: the they. 498 00:28:14,720 --> 00:28:19,000 Speaker 2: All knew, they all knew. I wish they would come 499 00:28:19,040 --> 00:28:21,960 Speaker 2: forward actually and just say, yeah, we knew he had dementia. 500 00:28:22,119 --> 00:28:25,679 Speaker 2: But we figured that was a better outcome for the 501 00:28:25,680 --> 00:28:28,800 Speaker 2: country than the fascist Donald Trump. And that was the 502 00:28:28,840 --> 00:28:32,960 Speaker 2: decision we made. That would show how at some level 503 00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:35,439 Speaker 2: craven they are. But at least I could respect that, Like, 504 00:28:35,680 --> 00:28:38,320 Speaker 2: at least I could say, all right, you guys are 505 00:28:38,440 --> 00:28:40,080 Speaker 2: ruthless and you're liar. 506 00:28:40,480 --> 00:28:44,280 Speaker 1: Is that is also honest? At least it's honest. Yes, 507 00:28:44,400 --> 00:28:45,400 Speaker 1: at least it is honest. 508 00:28:45,440 --> 00:28:47,720 Speaker 2: At least they would be telling us what really happened, which, 509 00:28:47,800 --> 00:28:51,280 Speaker 2: let me just be clear, that is what happened. It's 510 00:28:51,320 --> 00:28:54,160 Speaker 2: not I think that's what happened. That is what happened. 511 00:28:54,520 --> 00:28:56,200 Speaker 2: We all know it the same way we knew Biden 512 00:28:56,240 --> 00:29:01,000 Speaker 2: had dementia. We know that they knew, and they knew that, 513 00:29:01,080 --> 00:29:05,320 Speaker 2: we knew. Everybody knows, and now the Hubrist to try 514 00:29:05,320 --> 00:29:10,720 Speaker 2: to pretend like nobody knew. This is really a But 515 00:29:10,920 --> 00:29:13,680 Speaker 2: if I point on the Tapper thing, Tapper is one 516 00:29:13,720 --> 00:29:16,440 Speaker 2: of them, it would be like if Joe Scarborough wrote 517 00:29:16,480 --> 00:29:19,680 Speaker 2: Biden has dementia, he wouldn't do it. Also, why why 518 00:29:19,720 --> 00:29:21,320 Speaker 2: couldn't Alex Thompson do this himself? 519 00:29:21,320 --> 00:29:21,440 Speaker 4: Though? 520 00:29:21,520 --> 00:29:23,320 Speaker 2: What I would Well, that's my question that I've had 521 00:29:23,360 --> 00:29:25,680 Speaker 2: from the start. Right, if he's the one that people 522 00:29:25,760 --> 00:29:27,480 Speaker 2: say but he was more honest about it, it's like, 523 00:29:27,520 --> 00:29:31,160 Speaker 2: why do I think he's adding Tapper? Because Tapper's whole 524 00:29:31,200 --> 00:29:34,680 Speaker 2: thing within the Democrats is like that is first of all, 525 00:29:34,960 --> 00:29:36,520 Speaker 2: if he came on, which who knows if you will 526 00:29:36,600 --> 00:29:37,920 Speaker 2: or not, or if we want to have him or not, 527 00:29:38,560 --> 00:29:40,720 Speaker 2: he would still claim that he's an objective reporter and 528 00:29:40,800 --> 00:29:43,880 Speaker 2: does not actually he's I mean, he's a clear Democrat activist, 529 00:29:43,920 --> 00:29:45,840 Speaker 2: but he would say he's an objective reporter. He would 530 00:29:45,840 --> 00:29:50,080 Speaker 2: hold to that, and he is the last gasp of 531 00:29:50,120 --> 00:29:54,400 Speaker 2: the Democrats clinging to that fiction. So he has a 532 00:29:54,480 --> 00:29:57,600 Speaker 2: lot of power within the Democrat media ranks because of that. 533 00:29:57,960 --> 00:30:00,680 Speaker 2: Because if everyone just and when I say everybody, everyone 534 00:30:00,680 --> 00:30:02,920 Speaker 2: on the right already knows. But if the country, by 535 00:30:03,000 --> 00:30:06,040 Speaker 2: sort of overwhelming consensus that that pays attention to news 536 00:30:06,040 --> 00:30:07,880 Speaker 2: a lot of your fortune, you don't even care about 537 00:30:07,880 --> 00:30:10,360 Speaker 2: this crap. But the country that pays attention to, you know, 538 00:30:10,440 --> 00:30:13,080 Speaker 2: news media, it was all like, you know what, Jake 539 00:30:13,080 --> 00:30:16,080 Speaker 2: Tapper was a big partisan fraud too. It's all over 540 00:30:16,080 --> 00:30:19,479 Speaker 2: for them now. It's just it's MSNBC and it's Fox. 541 00:30:19,600 --> 00:30:22,040 Speaker 2: It's two different teams. We all know it, we all 542 00:30:22,080 --> 00:30:24,720 Speaker 2: get it. There's no more of the pretense because the 543 00:30:24,760 --> 00:30:27,640 Speaker 2: pretense has been a built in advantage. The pretense of 544 00:30:27,720 --> 00:30:32,560 Speaker 2: journalism as an objective thing instead of journalism is really 545 00:30:32,640 --> 00:30:35,280 Speaker 2: just the term given to left wing activists who write 546 00:30:35,360 --> 00:30:38,920 Speaker 2: stories for left wing news organizations. If that goes away, 547 00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:41,000 Speaker 2: they lose something that they've been able to rely on 548 00:30:41,040 --> 00:30:43,400 Speaker 2: for a long time, and it's been going away. But 549 00:30:43,480 --> 00:30:45,440 Speaker 2: I think this is the death throes of it. 550 00:30:46,200 --> 00:30:50,400 Speaker 1: I do think there's a small realization dawning in a 551 00:30:50,440 --> 00:30:53,640 Speaker 1: lot of people's minds that they thought they were the 552 00:30:53,680 --> 00:30:56,240 Speaker 1: good guys and they're actually going to be the bad 553 00:30:56,280 --> 00:31:00,760 Speaker 1: guys of history. They got everything wrong on COVID, they 554 00:31:00,840 --> 00:31:06,520 Speaker 1: covered up dementia from Joe Biden. I think slowly they 555 00:31:06,560 --> 00:31:11,840 Speaker 1: are thinking, uh, oh, I always said this buck. If 556 00:31:11,840 --> 00:31:15,400 Speaker 1: you are a history guy or history gal, be very 557 00:31:15,520 --> 00:31:19,400 Speaker 1: very nervous when people say, oh, I'm sure we're on 558 00:31:19,520 --> 00:31:22,680 Speaker 1: the right side of history, because history has a way 559 00:31:22,760 --> 00:31:26,680 Speaker 1: of revealing sometimes things that people did not see in 560 00:31:26,720 --> 00:31:31,400 Speaker 1: the moment. And my argument for a long time has 561 00:31:31,480 --> 00:31:35,400 Speaker 1: been they are going to be everyone who thinks they're 562 00:31:35,440 --> 00:31:37,920 Speaker 1: the hero of this era is actually going to be 563 00:31:37,960 --> 00:31:42,680 Speaker 1: the villains of history. Fauci Biden, everyone who held them 564 00:31:42,760 --> 00:31:46,880 Speaker 1: up and protected them. If history does its job, those 565 00:31:46,960 --> 00:31:50,120 Speaker 1: guys one hundred years from now are going to be 566 00:31:50,200 --> 00:31:53,600 Speaker 1: seen as the biggest villains in America. I really believe. 567 00:31:53,600 --> 00:31:55,800 Speaker 1: And I think that's where we're headed. And I think 568 00:31:55,800 --> 00:31:58,600 Speaker 1: doctor Joe Biden may end up being one of the 569 00:31:58,680 --> 00:32:00,000 Speaker 1: greatest villainess. 570 00:32:00,680 --> 00:32:02,360 Speaker 2: Is that a right word. I think that's the right word. 571 00:32:02,520 --> 00:32:07,360 Speaker 2: She's the Cruella Deville of American politics, and she's headed 572 00:32:07,360 --> 00:32:10,240 Speaker 2: there in a real hurry. Do you catch the great 573 00:32:10,280 --> 00:32:12,960 Speaker 2: news on prescription drug prices? Earlier this week? 574 00:32:13,040 --> 00:32:17,200 Speaker 1: President Trump recently signed an executive order slashing the cost 575 00:32:17,320 --> 00:32:20,400 Speaker 1: of prescription drugs and going after the price gouging for 576 00:32:20,520 --> 00:32:24,480 Speaker 1: drugs you're now getting with Obamacare, taking on big Pharma, 577 00:32:24,680 --> 00:32:27,560 Speaker 1: something RFK Junior said he never thought he would see 578 00:32:27,560 --> 00:32:29,960 Speaker 1: in his lifetime.

When yeah, 618 00:34:38,040 --> 00:34:41,600 Speaker 2: I'm I'm I'm I'm a newbie into all this. Uh, 619 00:34:42,000 --> 00:34:44,480 Speaker 2: your wife can look at you and be a little unhappy, 620 00:34:45,360 --> 00:34:49,560 Speaker 2: quite unhappy, quite sternly, and you can ask her, hey, honey, 621 00:34:49,640 --> 00:34:52,719 Speaker 2: what's going on. She said nothing, I'm fine, and you 622 00:34:52,800 --> 00:34:56,759 Speaker 2: say are you sure. She goes, I'm fine, and then 623 00:34:56,920 --> 00:35:00,959 Speaker 2: you know she's not fine, and then you say okay, 624 00:35:01,239 --> 00:35:03,799 Speaker 2: and then you try to like escape the situation, and 625 00:35:03,880 --> 00:35:06,840 Speaker 2: right before you leave the room, she goes, you know 626 00:35:06,920 --> 00:35:10,719 Speaker 2: what you did in my dream last night? And now 627 00:35:10,760 --> 00:35:14,120 Speaker 2: the answer to that is of course no, But play 628 00:35:14,120 --> 00:35:16,759 Speaker 2: I just grow that you could be in trouble as 629 00:35:16,880 --> 00:35:21,600 Speaker 2: husband for whatever the wife has had a dream about. 630 00:35:21,960 --> 00:35:24,839 Speaker 1: All right, so here's the flip side. Can you imagine 631 00:35:25,040 --> 00:35:28,200 Speaker 1: holding her accountable in any way or being angry for 632 00:35:28,320 --> 00:35:30,800 Speaker 1: her based on something that she did in your dream? 633 00:35:31,040 --> 00:35:33,480 Speaker 1: Has this happened at any point in your relationship that 634 00:35:33,520 --> 00:35:34,759 Speaker 1: you can remember so far? 635 00:35:36,080 --> 00:35:37,120 Speaker 2: No? Yes? 636 00:35:37,160 --> 00:35:37,279 Speaker 5: No? 637 00:35:37,400 --> 00:35:40,000 Speaker 2: So do you think it's only I don't know because 638 00:35:40,040 --> 00:35:42,279 Speaker 2: I'm with no. But my understanding is these are the 639 00:35:42,320 --> 00:35:44,560 Speaker 2: rules of marriage. Like wife is allowed to be annoyed 640 00:35:44,600 --> 00:35:47,279 Speaker 2: over morning coffee for at least a little bit, if 641 00:35:47,320 --> 00:35:49,799 Speaker 2: you were naughty in the dream that she had, even 642 00:35:49,840 --> 00:35:51,760 Speaker 2: if she knows it was a dream, these are the rules. 643 00:35:51,800 --> 00:35:53,680 Speaker 2: I don't make the rules. No, No, I get it. 644 00:35:53,719 --> 00:35:56,879 Speaker 1: I'm just trying to think why would women be able 645 00:35:56,920 --> 00:35:59,560 Speaker 1: to get mad at their husbands? But I'm just asking 646 00:35:59,560 --> 00:36:02,759 Speaker 1: because I I can't recall ever being angry at my 647 00:36:02,840 --> 00:36:05,680 Speaker 1: wife over something that she did in my dream? Right, 648 00:36:05,800 --> 00:36:07,520 Speaker 1: has Laura ever been mad at you for what you 649 00:36:07,520 --> 00:36:09,960 Speaker 1: did in her dream? That's a great question. We've been 650 00:36:10,000 --> 00:36:12,399 Speaker 1: married for almost twenty one years. I'm sure I've given 651 00:36:12,440 --> 00:36:15,000 Speaker 1: her ample reasons to be mad at me for many reasons, 652 00:36:15,040 --> 00:36:18,200 Speaker 1: both awake and dreaming over those twenty one years, but 653 00:36:18,280 --> 00:36:23,080 Speaker 1: I can't remember, but it feels like probably yes is 654 00:36:23,120 --> 00:36:23,680 Speaker 1: the answer. 655 00:36:24,160 --> 00:36:26,359 Speaker 2: But it is an interesting question because my. 656 00:36:26,320 --> 00:36:29,520 Speaker 1: Point is if you had been angry at her, I 657 00:36:29,520 --> 00:36:30,840 Speaker 1: don't think it would be accepted. 658 00:36:31,560 --> 00:36:33,480 Speaker 2: No, of course not. I'm a dude. We can't do that. 659 00:36:33,840 --> 00:36:37,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, why is it acceptable the opposite direction? I think 660 00:36:37,000 --> 00:36:39,200 Speaker 1: it's an interesting question. I'm gonna go downstairs and ask you. 661 00:36:40,080 --> 00:36:41,520 Speaker 1: Men and women are different, buddy. 662 00:36:41,680 --> 00:36:44,719 Speaker 2: You know that. I do know. No way, next second 663 00:36:44,719 --> 00:36:46,479 Speaker 2: you're gonna tell me men shouldn't be able to play 664 00:36:46,480 --> 00:36:47,160 Speaker 2: women's sports
