1
00:00:01,840 --> 00:00:05,560
Speaker 1: This is twenty four, a weekly highlight reel from the

2
00:00:05,640 --> 00:00:10,200
Speaker 1: Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show featuring all things election coverage.

3
00:00:10,680 --> 00:00:13,200
Speaker 2: Let's get started. Here are Clay and Buck.

4
00:00:14,320 --> 00:00:21,360
Speaker 3: The Republican National Convention officially complete, absolute home run for

5
00:00:21,640 --> 00:00:29,160
Speaker 3: the RNC, for the Republican Party, for Donald Trump, well organized, unifying,

6
00:00:29,880 --> 00:00:34,480
Speaker 3: and now all of the focus moves back to Buck

7
00:00:34,520 --> 00:00:37,720
Speaker 3: Island and Joe Biden and the disunity that is on

8
00:00:37,840 --> 00:00:42,080
Speaker 3: the side of the Democrat Party. But I thought last night,

9
00:00:42,760 --> 00:00:47,479
Speaker 3: particularly in the first thirty or forty five minutes of

10
00:00:47,520 --> 00:00:50,800
Speaker 3: what I found to be a captivating beginning of his speech.

11
00:00:51,080 --> 00:00:53,080
Speaker 3: To be fair, I thought he could have cut off

12
00:00:53,120 --> 00:00:56,520
Speaker 3: Donald Trump a half hour of the speech and it

13
00:00:56,560 --> 00:01:00,000
Speaker 3: would have been as effective, or even potentially more effective.

14
00:01:01,080 --> 00:01:03,440
Speaker 3: But I thought the first thirty or forty five minutes,

15
00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:05,600
Speaker 3: which is when the vast majority of people on the

16
00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:09,200
Speaker 3: East Coast are awake and paying attention, I thought it

17
00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:12,880
Speaker 3: was an absolute home run for Donald Trump. And as

18
00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:17,120
Speaker 3: we sit here now on the Friday after the RNC,

19
00:01:17,880 --> 00:01:24,759
Speaker 3: it feels like Republicans have solidified their lead and now

20
00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:29,080
Speaker 3: Democrats are in scramble mode to figure out what they're

21
00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:31,240
Speaker 3: going to be capable of buck. I don't know about you,

22
00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:34,920
Speaker 3: and maybe it's just our age, but Hulk Hogan ripping

23
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:39,399
Speaker 3: off his shirt at the RNC, to me was one

24
00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:42,920
Speaker 3: of the most incredibly iconic moments, and I thought it

25
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:47,800
Speaker 3: personified for me what has become true in this election cycle,

26
00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:50,600
Speaker 3: which I think many of you feel but hadn't quite

27
00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:58,000
Speaker 3: crystallized until now. Trump has become the cooler, younger, hipper

28
00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:02,160
Speaker 3: candidate than any thing the Democrats are offering right now.

29
00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:03,760
Speaker 3: And I thought some of I understand some of you

30
00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:06,000
Speaker 3: are not kid rock fans, and maybe some of you

31
00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:09,320
Speaker 3: didn't like Dana White, and maybe you didn't like Hulk Hogan,

32
00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:13,399
Speaker 3: but I'm telling you, if you're in your twenties or thirties,

33
00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:14,760
Speaker 3: you probably did.

34
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:17,239
Speaker 2: And I don't remember.

35
00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:20,920
Speaker 3: A situation like this where Republicans have come out this

36
00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:23,080
Speaker 3: unified in the twenty first century.

37
00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:26,639
Speaker 2: How did you take sort of the whole four days?

38
00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:30,200
Speaker 3: Now as we can textualize and contemplate what happened here

39
00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:32,040
Speaker 3: in Milwaukee, I.

40
00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:36,960
Speaker 4: Don't think the RNC could have gone any better on

41
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:39,720
Speaker 4: a political front. On the logistics side of things, I

42
00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:43,440
Speaker 4: think they did a phenomenal job. I think that it

43
00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:47,560
Speaker 4: was much more meaningful and honestly emotional than any of

44
00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:50,480
Speaker 4: us had anticipated because of what had happened to President Trump.

45
00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:54,640
Speaker 4: When you looked around last night, in the first the

46
00:02:54,639 --> 00:03:00,000
Speaker 4: first twenty or thirty minutes of the speech, was truly moved.

47
00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:05,119
Speaker 4: I not somebody who feels a lot of stirring emotions

48
00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:07,920
Speaker 4: because of political speeches. And I was watching it and

49
00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:12,600
Speaker 4: just saying to myself, oh my gosh.

50
00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:12,680
Speaker 2: It's a reminder of what could have been.

51
00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:17,640
Speaker 4: And you looked around that crowd play and people were

52
00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:22,120
Speaker 4: tearing up just as Trump was describing what happened, and

53
00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:24,640
Speaker 4: I just think that there was I'll tell you this,

54
00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:26,760
Speaker 4: so many of our people, and one of the night

55
00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:29,520
Speaker 4: one of the nicest things for us is that we

56
00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:31,560
Speaker 4: get to see so many of our listeners, which is great.

57
00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:34,359
Speaker 4: I mean, it's only a small.

58
00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:37,000
Speaker 2: Fraction of the overall listeners. Were very blessed.

59
00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:40,200
Speaker 4: But to just see our people and have them want

60
00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:42,040
Speaker 4: to talk to us and say they appreciate the show

61
00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:44,600
Speaker 4: and say that Rush would be proud, and that always

62
00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:47,160
Speaker 4: makes us feel really good. We had so many of

63
00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:49,600
Speaker 4: those people, so many of you saying that to us

64
00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:52,280
Speaker 4: who were there, but also going around and seeing our

65
00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:59,200
Speaker 4: media colleagues play. Everybody had this sense of gratitude and destiny.

66
00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:04,240
Speaker 4: That's what I would say, gratitude for the miracle of

67
00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:07,560
Speaker 4: Donald Trump being okay. I feel like every day at

68
00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:10,880
Speaker 4: that RNC you just had to think to yourself, what

69
00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:14,360
Speaker 4: would have happened, what could have what almost did happen,

70
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:17,400
Speaker 4: And then the fact that it was a true celebration.

71
00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:20,880
Speaker 4: There was a lot of gratitude, a lot of gratitude

72
00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:24,040
Speaker 4: for that, and then the sense of destiny just that

73
00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:28,479
Speaker 4: this is now a United Republican Party and a party

74
00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:34,520
Speaker 4: that is already seeming to be looking to the future

75
00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:36,680
Speaker 4: for what can be accomplished, much more so than it

76
00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:40,440
Speaker 4: is bogged down in the trench warfare of the election,

77
00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:45,120
Speaker 4: so to speak. So anyway, I thought it was I

78
00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:47,360
Speaker 4: thought it was really really special, and I was very

79
00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:49,480
Speaker 4: glad that we were there and able to see everybody.

80
00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:53,159
Speaker 4: And I just think that Trump's speech last night it

81
00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:55,080
Speaker 4: went beyond political claud do you know what I mean.

82
00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:59,960
Speaker 4: It wasn't just a stump speech. It was a gut

83
00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:04,719
Speaker 4: check moment for the country, and it was stirring to

84
00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:08,719
Speaker 4: the soul to hear Donald Trump speak about what he

85
00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:11,960
Speaker 4: faced and the perspective that he has now on life

86
00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:16,400
Speaker 4: and on his mission. So honestly, I thought it was magnificent.

87
00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:22,520
Speaker 4: I thought it was incredibly powerful. And also Buck Island

88
00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:25,040
Speaker 4: is alive and well today, so everything is good, everybody,

89
00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:26,560
Speaker 4: everything is good right now?

90
00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:29,679
Speaker 2: You know Biden's team. Do you want to say it, Clay?

91
00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:30,680
Speaker 2: Do you want to say it? Everyoney?

92
00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:31,120
Speaker 5: Yesterday?

93
00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:34,960
Speaker 4: Oh Buck, Clay's gonna get the most expensive stake ever

94
00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:36,160
Speaker 4: because Biden's gone.

95
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:39,799
Speaker 2: How could you doubt me at this point? Guys, They've

96
00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:42,320
Speaker 2: dragged it out to this point. Think about this.

97
00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:46,360
Speaker 4: There's so much madness just in this basic idea that

98
00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:48,159
Speaker 4: Biden could even be in the.

99
00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:52,080
Speaker 2: Mix on July nineteenth of twenty twenty four. What do

100
00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:55,400
Speaker 2: you think, Clay? Huh? I still think he's gone.

101
00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:58,080
Speaker 3: And by the way, the gambling odds are at roughly

102
00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:01,760
Speaker 3: eighty percent. They got up to non percent last night.

103
00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:06,000
Speaker 3: But it's a mess. And and this was my concern,

104
00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:11,920
Speaker 3: was that Republicans, by having the convention, were going to

105
00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:17,520
Speaker 3: take the story back away from Joe Biden and Democrat

106
00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:21,200
Speaker 3: incompetence and the lack of unity inside of that party.

107
00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:25,520
Speaker 3: As we are sitting here on Friday, headed into the weekend,

108
00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:31,720
Speaker 3: Republicans have never been more unified. Even Republicans who said

109
00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:36,279
Speaker 3: I'll never vote for Donald Trump as recently like Utah's governor,

110
00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:39,960
Speaker 3: as like ten days ago, are now coming out and saying,

111
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:41,880
Speaker 3: you know what a bond reflection, I am going to

112
00:06:41,960 --> 00:06:45,800
Speaker 3: vote for Trump. There's more unity than we've ever seen.

113
00:06:46,279 --> 00:06:50,960
Speaker 3: And the story immediately pivots back to Democrats. Now, Look,

114
00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:55,640
Speaker 3: I hope Joe Biden stays in because just they said, oh,

115
00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:58,080
Speaker 3: he's going to be back on the campaign trail as

116
00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:00,520
Speaker 3: soon as he's done with COVID. That's the best thing

117
00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:04,880
Speaker 3: that could happen to Republicans. The more Biden is out

118
00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:10,280
Speaker 3: there stumbling, bumbling, fumbling around all over the country that

119
00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:14,360
Speaker 3: every single day, the more people look at this and say, yeah,

120
00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:18,000
Speaker 3: there's no way possible that I could ever go out

121
00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:22,560
Speaker 3: and vote for Joe Biden as president. And I hope

122
00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:27,000
Speaker 3: Buck Island stays strong. I hope you are fortifying the ramparts.

123
00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:30,440
Speaker 3: I hope you have an impregnable position, because if he's

124
00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:34,280
Speaker 3: the nominee, buying you a stake will be the most

125
00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:37,560
Speaker 3: enjoyable steak that I have ever bought, because I do

126
00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:42,120
Speaker 3: not see any way possible that Biden will be elected

127
00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:45,120
Speaker 3: president in twenty twenty four. Now, when I say that

128
00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:47,840
Speaker 3: all of you go vote, I want all of you

129
00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:50,760
Speaker 3: to go vote early. I want all of you to

130
00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:53,160
Speaker 3: bank your ballots. I want all that to happen. So

131
00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:57,480
Speaker 3: don't mistake what I'm saying by looking at the overall

132
00:07:58,200 --> 00:08:02,720
Speaker 3: landscape as in urging you not to be steadfast in

133
00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:03,320
Speaker 3: your voting.

134
00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:04,400
Speaker 2: But are you with me?

135
00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:08,040
Speaker 3: I just I don't see any way, sort of sadly,

136
00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:10,400
Speaker 3: and we got to protect him Donald Trump getting killed

137
00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:13,240
Speaker 3: that Joe Biden could end up winning this election.

138
00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:19,080
Speaker 4: I'm not as sanguine as you are about our prospects,

139
00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:23,480
Speaker 4: just because I think that when you're talking about such

140
00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:27,080
Speaker 4: a small margin as the difference, and I understand, we

141
00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:29,600
Speaker 4: see these numbers and we say, oh my gosh, he's up,

142
00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:32,840
Speaker 4: you know, seven percent or five percent in some of

143
00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:37,199
Speaker 4: these swing states, depending on the state. We're still looking

144
00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:39,320
Speaker 4: at now, tens of thousands of votes.

145
00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:40,080
Speaker 2: It's not that much.

146
00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:43,040
Speaker 4: It's not that big, right when you actually look at

147
00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:47,240
Speaker 4: what the vote differential would be, again depends some stage

148
00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:51,079
Speaker 4: of much bigger populations than others. But even when you're

149
00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:53,240
Speaker 4: when you're seeing this, Clay, I think through the lens

150
00:08:53,280 --> 00:08:56,440
Speaker 4: of the poll. If you believe the polls are accurate,

151
00:08:56,480 --> 00:08:58,240
Speaker 4: and I think right now there's no reason to think

152
00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:04,440
Speaker 4: they're not accurate, then you're still within strike striking distance.

153
00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:09,080
Speaker 4: And Democrats, Clay, look at the dirty tricks they've been

154
00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:11,960
Speaker 4: willing to pull up to this point. Nothing is off

155
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:14,559
Speaker 4: the table for them when it comes to power. Nothing

156
00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:17,840
Speaker 4: is off the table when it comes to stopping Donald Trump.

157
00:09:18,040 --> 00:09:20,720
Speaker 4: And I think that we shouldn't lull ourselves into the

158
00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:25,360
Speaker 4: belief that they have been They feel chastised about their

159
00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:28,880
Speaker 4: lunacy when it comes to Trump. I think because you know,

160
00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:31,920
Speaker 4: the Republican Party seems so unified, and Trump is now

161
00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:36,440
Speaker 4: an iconic, a truly iconic and historic figure after what

162
00:09:36,559 --> 00:09:39,720
Speaker 4: happened that photo. In a hundred years, there will be

163
00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:42,640
Speaker 4: kids sitting in classrooms looking at that photo of Donald

164
00:09:42,679 --> 00:09:48,520
Speaker 4: Trump and saying, oh my gosh. Really so Democrats are

165
00:09:48,559 --> 00:09:50,240
Speaker 4: a little stunned, no question.

166
00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:55,160
Speaker 2: But uh, Clay, I mean, Joe Biden's president right now.

167
00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:58,800
Speaker 2: We can't ignore that. Joe Biden's president. Now, everybody, that's insane.

168
00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:00,400
Speaker 5: It's insane.

169
00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:03,959
Speaker 2: They turned the turnip into the president, so we can

170
00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:05,080
Speaker 2: underestimate them.

171
00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:09,160
Speaker 3: I think where we're headed, is that they are going

172
00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:12,720
Speaker 3: to ratchet this up to the point you have said,

173
00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:14,520
Speaker 3: and I think there's a lot of truth to it.

174
00:10:14,920 --> 00:10:18,720
Speaker 3: They can't force Biden out. I get it. It makes

175
00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:22,640
Speaker 3: total sense. Hey, we can't actually force him out. There's

176
00:10:22,679 --> 00:10:26,760
Speaker 3: nothing that can be done, campaign memo out that Biden's

177
00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:31,160
Speaker 3: in the race. I wonder whether they might get so

178
00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:34,440
Speaker 3: desperate Buck that they say we're going to twenty fifth

179
00:10:34,520 --> 00:10:38,800
Speaker 3: Amendment you unless you drop out, because that's the humiliation

180
00:10:38,960 --> 00:10:42,560
Speaker 3: they could actually control. They could basically force him to

181
00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:45,280
Speaker 3: walk out of the White House. I don't know if

182
00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:48,120
Speaker 3: they're willing to do it, but if you think about

183
00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:52,280
Speaker 3: basically the nuclear option as it pertains the Democrats, that's

184
00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:54,120
Speaker 3: their trunk card, so to speak.

185
00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:57,000
Speaker 4: You're familiar. I'm sure it's one of the one of

186
00:10:57,000 --> 00:10:59,200
Speaker 4: the most well known ones. The parable of the scorpion

187
00:10:59,240 --> 00:11:02,440
Speaker 4: of the frog, right in this case, for sure, In

188
00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:05,760
Speaker 4: this case, Biden is the frog and the Democrat Party

189
00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:09,720
Speaker 4: or the scorpion, because he's their guy. He's the only

190
00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:11,760
Speaker 4: one right now that makes the choice of going from

191
00:11:11,760 --> 00:11:15,040
Speaker 4: one side for just soever knows right. The frog is

192
00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:17,080
Speaker 4: asked by the scorpion, take me across the river, and

193
00:11:17,080 --> 00:11:18,559
Speaker 4: the frog goes, no, you're gonna sting me, And the

194
00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:21,040
Speaker 4: scorpion goes, I wouldn't do that because then we'll both drown.

195
00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:23,640
Speaker 4: And then the scorpion gets on the frog's back and

196
00:11:23,679 --> 00:11:25,880
Speaker 4: he goes to swim to the other side, and the

197
00:11:25,920 --> 00:11:28,800
Speaker 4: scorpion in the middle of the river stings the frog,

198
00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:30,480
Speaker 4: and the frog the last thing he says is what

199
00:11:30,520 --> 00:11:32,520
Speaker 4: are you doing now? We're both gonna die. The scorpion says,

200
00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:37,760
Speaker 4: it's in my nature. That's what scorpions do. The Democrats

201
00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:39,760
Speaker 4: would be insane to do the twenty fifth Amendment. That

202
00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:43,280
Speaker 4: would be the scorpions stinging the frog, because it guarantees

203
00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:47,000
Speaker 4: an election loss. Because then we haven't even gotten to

204
00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:48,959
Speaker 4: what are the Republicans going to say about all this clay?

205
00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:51,800
Speaker 4: They're gonna say the Democrat Party.

206
00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:54,959
Speaker 2: Is such a a cluster, such.

207
00:11:54,679 --> 00:11:59,319
Speaker 4: A mess, a catastrophe that they couldn't even agree whether

208
00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:02,679
Speaker 4: their own pre and it is basically crazy, and so

209
00:12:02,720 --> 00:12:04,000
Speaker 4: they had to use the twenty fifth.

210
00:12:03,920 --> 00:12:08,120
Speaker 3: Medican Here what I'm gonna blow your mind here with

211
00:12:08,160 --> 00:12:11,880
Speaker 3: what they'll actually say. They will say, this demonstrates why

212
00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:16,280
Speaker 3: Kamala Harris should be president because she's willing to make

213
00:12:16,360 --> 00:12:20,000
Speaker 3: the hardest possible decision because she loves her country more

214
00:12:20,400 --> 00:12:23,440
Speaker 3: than she is uh than she is willing to protect

215
00:12:23,520 --> 00:12:26,480
Speaker 3: Joe Biden. I'm telling you that is the way they

216
00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:30,000
Speaker 3: would spin this the media that would actually work.

217
00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:33,160
Speaker 4: At Clay, I think that's I think that's flimsy. It's

218
00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:35,240
Speaker 4: like it's like saying kamal as the borders are. They

219
00:12:35,280 --> 00:12:37,280
Speaker 4: can say it, but don't make it good.

220
00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:40,000
Speaker 3: Well, but then she would get to run as the incumbent.

221
00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:43,040
Speaker 3: I'm not saying they would do it. I'm saying it's

222
00:12:43,120 --> 00:12:47,840
Speaker 3: their final threat if Biden won't relinquish power they threaten

223
00:12:47,960 --> 00:12:50,560
Speaker 3: him with. Remember when they went the Republicans went to

224
00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:53,280
Speaker 3: the White House with Nixon and they said the votes

225
00:12:53,320 --> 00:12:57,000
Speaker 3: are there for impeachment and Nixon walked. They they basically

226
00:12:57,080 --> 00:12:58,679
Speaker 3: wasn't willing to call their bluff.

227
00:12:59,160 --> 00:13:02,800
Speaker 4: Is Biden just just give me a moment of perspective here, Clay,

228
00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:06,640
Speaker 4: all right, just forget about the bet, forget about you know,

229
00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:10,040
Speaker 4: the endurance of Buck Island. Just it just it's like

230
00:13:10,080 --> 00:13:13,920
Speaker 4: Buck Island took a category. Yes, I almost spit my

231
00:13:14,040 --> 00:13:17,000
Speaker 4: drink up just at the endurance of island.

232
00:13:17,080 --> 00:13:17,280
Speaker 2: Man.

233
00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:20,640
Speaker 4: We have people just we're canoeing around and we got

234
00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:23,280
Speaker 4: kayaks out and we're doing Buck Island got hit with

235
00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:26,520
Speaker 4: a hurricane. Yes, so there's no question, but we abide,

236
00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:30,520
Speaker 4: We endured. Are you absolutely mind blown that Joe Biden

237
00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:31,880
Speaker 4: has even been able.

238
00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:33,520
Speaker 2: To hang on this long? Yes?

239
00:13:34,520 --> 00:13:37,400
Speaker 3: Yes, I am beyond stunned. I mean, there are five

240
00:13:37,559 --> 00:13:41,360
Speaker 3: new Democrats today that have come out and said Biden

241
00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:42,400
Speaker 3: must step down.

242
00:13:43,240 --> 00:13:45,360
Speaker 2: The RNC is over Trump.

243
00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:49,520
Speaker 3: You can't argue that Trump isn't in a commanding position

244
00:13:50,160 --> 00:13:53,080
Speaker 3: and Biden, I mean, Biden can barely even walk up

245
00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:56,000
Speaker 3: the stairs of Air Force One. He looks like he

246
00:13:56,120 --> 00:13:59,760
Speaker 3: might die every step that he takes. And he's hidden

247
00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:04,200
Speaker 3: away somewhere at his beach house. I do have to say,

248
00:14:04,559 --> 00:14:07,680
Speaker 3: I am astounded at his stubbornness so far.

249
00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:10,559
Speaker 4: Yes, I just I just want to sell all together record.

250
00:14:10,640 --> 00:14:14,600
Speaker 4: It is a truly remarkable and crazy thing that Joe Biden.

251
00:14:14,840 --> 00:14:16,800
Speaker 4: So if he does for some reason, if it does

252
00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:18,680
Speaker 4: happen in a Sunday or a week or whatever, it

253
00:14:18,760 --> 00:14:21,600
Speaker 4: just goes to show you what we've been saying about Biden,

254
00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:26,160
Speaker 4: that he is obsessed with power, a narcissist delusion.

255
00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:29,160
Speaker 2: All of that is absolutely true. But we'll get into

256
00:14:29,200 --> 00:14:29,520
Speaker 2: more of this.

257
00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:29,680
Speaker 5: Well.

258
00:14:29,680 --> 00:14:31,320
Speaker 4: Also, you know, we didn't get to take many calls

259
00:14:31,320 --> 00:14:33,160
Speaker 4: Clay because we had so many great guests of the

260
00:14:33,280 --> 00:14:33,520
Speaker 4: R and C.

261
00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:40,280
Speaker 2: So you're listening to twenty four The Year of Impact

262
00:14:40,520 --> 00:14:41,600
Speaker 2: with Clay and.

263
00:14:41,520 --> 00:14:45,840
Speaker 3: Buck Join now by Eric Trump, And we were just

264
00:14:45,880 --> 00:14:50,680
Speaker 3: talking about your dad's the way that he walked into

265
00:14:51,200 --> 00:14:54,000
Speaker 3: the RNC last night. You were there, you saw it.

266
00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:55,200
Speaker 3: But I want to start because I said I was

267
00:14:55,200 --> 00:14:58,120
Speaker 3: going to ask you this question. You got two young kids,

268
00:14:58,160 --> 00:15:01,520
Speaker 3: six year old, four year old. He's grandpa to your kids,

269
00:15:01,520 --> 00:15:04,120
Speaker 3: while he may well be the next president of the country. Again,

270
00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:07,840
Speaker 3: where were you when you saw what happened at the rally?

271
00:15:08,280 --> 00:15:10,720
Speaker 3: What was your reaction? And what has your dad been

272
00:15:10,760 --> 00:15:13,320
Speaker 3: We had him on the show Friday. He was fantastic,

273
00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:15,320
Speaker 3: But what has he been like so that you've seen

274
00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:18,520
Speaker 3: him in the last seventy two hours basically since that happened.

275
00:15:18,600 --> 00:15:20,440
Speaker 5: Yeah, Well, I was saying, they're watching with my kids

276
00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:23,760
Speaker 5: on the couch. You know, the shots broke. I'm a shooter.

277
00:15:23,960 --> 00:15:26,080
Speaker 5: I know that sound very very well, and my heart sank, right.

278
00:15:26,120 --> 00:15:27,480
Speaker 5: I mean, obviously you see him go down, you see

279
00:15:27,560 --> 00:15:29,720
Speaker 5: grab his head, he goes down and then you know,

280
00:15:29,760 --> 00:15:31,520
Speaker 5: at that point he's behind the stanchions, those you know

281
00:15:31,520 --> 00:15:33,400
Speaker 5: stanches up front, which you know are meant to take bullets,

282
00:15:33,440 --> 00:15:35,920
Speaker 5: but obviously they're coming in from from high all secret

283
00:15:35,960 --> 00:15:38,120
Speaker 5: service agents, you know, jump on him, and you know, frankly,

284
00:15:38,520 --> 00:15:40,880
Speaker 5: there's a good chance he was dead. It literally, I mean,

285
00:15:40,880 --> 00:15:43,000
Speaker 5: it's divine and advenure, what do you whatever? We want

286
00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:44,360
Speaker 5: to call it, right, I'm not a mushi guy, but

287
00:15:44,400 --> 00:15:47,000
Speaker 5: it's I mean, that bullet literally graced his ear. It

288
00:15:47,040 --> 00:15:48,760
Speaker 5: took off part of his ear, Like you don't get

289
00:15:48,800 --> 00:15:51,120
Speaker 5: closer to death than that in life. Had he not

290
00:15:51,160 --> 00:15:52,720
Speaker 5: turned up the last second, he would have been dead.

291
00:15:52,720 --> 00:15:55,880
Speaker 5: And so my heart sank. Obviously he came up. You know,

292
00:15:55,880 --> 00:15:57,840
Speaker 5: there's blood all over the face, blood on the side

293
00:15:57,840 --> 00:15:59,760
Speaker 5: of the you know. So again we didn't know if

294
00:15:59,760 --> 00:16:01,760
Speaker 5: he hit the torso we didn't, you know, know how

295
00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:03,120
Speaker 5: he was doing. And then he put up his hand

296
00:16:03,160 --> 00:16:04,320
Speaker 5: and he said, fight, fight, fight, And.

297
00:16:04,960 --> 00:16:07,240
Speaker 4: What was it like to see your dad in that moment?

298
00:16:09,440 --> 00:16:13,760
Speaker 4: I can't even describe for everyone else. It's probably the

299
00:16:13,800 --> 00:16:17,480
Speaker 4: most iconic political moment of any of our lives. And

300
00:16:17,800 --> 00:16:21,600
Speaker 4: I've never seen people so fired off, so joyous, you know,

301
00:16:21,800 --> 00:16:24,280
Speaker 4: to go from that the low which you just described

302
00:16:24,320 --> 00:16:25,920
Speaker 4: with oh my god, why don't they know what has

303
00:16:25,960 --> 00:16:29,560
Speaker 4: happened to Trump? To your dad too, he's okay, and

304
00:16:29,640 --> 00:16:33,000
Speaker 4: also this guy is like Leonidas in three hundred or something.

305
00:16:33,280 --> 00:16:35,160
Speaker 5: It was amazing, Yeah, no question. Then to go to

306
00:16:35,200 --> 00:16:37,160
Speaker 5: the even higher of that, right, I mean, obviously he

307
00:16:37,160 --> 00:16:39,040
Speaker 5: gets up, but we still don't know. You see, he's okay,

308
00:16:39,040 --> 00:16:41,560
Speaker 5: He's being rushed to the emergency room, and you know,

309
00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:43,640
Speaker 5: all sorts of vehicles with machine guns all over him

310
00:16:43,640 --> 00:16:46,600
Speaker 5: and everything else. I mean it was. But then exactly

311
00:16:46,640 --> 00:16:49,520
Speaker 5: forty eight hours later, I was the delegate from Florida, Yes,

312
00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:52,080
Speaker 5: so cast the deciding vote that made him the Republican

313
00:16:52,080 --> 00:16:54,400
Speaker 5: nominee to President of the United States. And I looked

314
00:16:54,440 --> 00:16:56,040
Speaker 5: at Laura last night I said, I don't think there's

315
00:16:56,040 --> 00:16:58,600
Speaker 5: ever been kind of the stachotomy of two sides. I mean,

316
00:16:58,880 --> 00:17:01,920
Speaker 5: he punched in the stomach, thinking he was possibly dead

317
00:17:01,960 --> 00:17:03,840
Speaker 5: on the ground with Secret Service agents lying on top

318
00:17:03,840 --> 00:17:06,960
Speaker 5: of him, to obviously making him the Republican nominee, to

319
00:17:06,960 --> 00:17:09,240
Speaker 5: then seeing him walk into the convention last night, the

320
00:17:09,280 --> 00:17:11,840
Speaker 5: first time he's really been seen since that shooting, and

321
00:17:11,880 --> 00:17:13,840
Speaker 5: there was kind of a somberness to him last night,

322
00:17:14,040 --> 00:17:14,359
Speaker 5: you know.

323
00:17:14,359 --> 00:17:16,280
Speaker 4: And we think he walks with an aura of destiny.

324
00:17:16,320 --> 00:17:18,040
Speaker 4: That's what we've been saying. That's what it feels like

325
00:17:18,080 --> 00:17:20,040
Speaker 4: as an observer. I can't imagine when it's like being

326
00:17:20,040 --> 00:17:21,920
Speaker 4: as close to it as you are with your dad

327
00:17:22,119 --> 00:17:24,160
Speaker 4: being the guy who is the guy.

328
00:17:24,040 --> 00:17:25,440
Speaker 5: I've seen a time and time again over the last

329
00:17:25,440 --> 00:17:28,320
Speaker 5: eight years. Is the way that Pinsulim has shifted, right.

330
00:17:28,359 --> 00:17:30,320
Speaker 5: I mean every single time, there's no question that there's

331
00:17:30,320 --> 00:17:32,640
Speaker 5: somebody's hand on him, and you know, somebody's watching down

332
00:17:32,680 --> 00:17:35,119
Speaker 5: and protecting him. But that was way too close and

333
00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:36,960
Speaker 5: it shouldn't have happened. It should have never happened. And

334
00:17:37,480 --> 00:17:39,000
Speaker 5: let's I give a lot of credit to the Secret

335
00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:40,800
Speaker 5: Service agents on that stage, right. I mean, people are

336
00:17:40,800 --> 00:17:42,959
Speaker 5: trying to take shots at everybody. I know, those agents

337
00:17:42,960 --> 00:17:45,159
Speaker 5: and these are people who love him, adore him. The

338
00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:47,120
Speaker 5: female and that you know in that picture that's become

339
00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:48,760
Speaker 5: very famous. She was with me for three years when

340
00:17:48,760 --> 00:17:52,560
Speaker 5: I had Secret Service. One of the kindest, nicest but

341
00:17:52,600 --> 00:17:54,440
Speaker 5: by the way best shooters in the Secret Service because

342
00:17:54,440 --> 00:17:55,920
Speaker 5: I shoot with all those guys, and I mean she's

343
00:17:56,040 --> 00:17:58,480
Speaker 5: she's as good as it comes, and I can only

344
00:17:58,520 --> 00:18:00,720
Speaker 5: imagine how that crushed her soul. This somebody failed on

345
00:18:00,760 --> 00:18:02,960
Speaker 5: the outside and allowed that to happen. Somebody let an

346
00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:06,119
Speaker 5: assault rifle within one hundred and fifty yards of the

347
00:18:06,119 --> 00:18:08,000
Speaker 5: President of the United States. That's a chip shot, right,

348
00:18:08,040 --> 00:18:11,080
Speaker 5: that should have never happened before. I mean, it's I'm

349
00:18:11,080 --> 00:18:14,200
Speaker 5: sure you saw last night. They asked Joe Biden, well, basically,

350
00:18:14,200 --> 00:18:16,720
Speaker 5: were there going to be any consequences, and he said,

351
00:18:16,960 --> 00:18:20,719
Speaker 5: I've talked to him evidently forgetting that he has a

352
00:18:20,760 --> 00:18:24,520
Speaker 5: female head of the Secret Service, is there any doubt

353
00:18:24,520 --> 00:18:25,639
Speaker 5: in your mind.

354
00:18:25,320 --> 00:18:26,760
Speaker 2: That she should go?

355
00:18:27,400 --> 00:18:29,720
Speaker 3: Just based on how big of a failure that was

356
00:18:29,800 --> 00:18:31,000
Speaker 3: to allow that to occur.

357
00:18:31,280 --> 00:18:33,960
Speaker 5: It is the greatest failure I think in the history

358
00:18:33,960 --> 00:18:35,600
Speaker 5: of our government. And I'm not putting that on the

359
00:18:35,600 --> 00:18:38,280
Speaker 5: agents on stage again. I would do anything for those guys.

360
00:18:38,560 --> 00:18:40,919
Speaker 5: Let me just reiterate your listeners. They are the greatest people.

361
00:18:41,280 --> 00:18:43,679
Speaker 5: They were willing to take a bullet for him, and

362
00:18:43,800 --> 00:18:45,719
Speaker 5: had it not been for the countersniper teams, and I've

363
00:18:45,760 --> 00:18:47,320
Speaker 5: shot with those guys and they're the real deal. They're

364
00:18:47,320 --> 00:18:48,280
Speaker 5: they're the best of the best.

365
00:18:48,760 --> 00:18:48,919
Speaker 2: You know.

366
00:18:48,960 --> 00:18:50,199
Speaker 5: Had it not been for there, you would have had

367
00:18:50,240 --> 00:18:51,639
Speaker 5: dead agents on that stage as well. You would have

368
00:18:51,640 --> 00:18:54,600
Speaker 5: had a dead former president, a dead future president, and

369
00:18:54,640 --> 00:18:56,320
Speaker 5: you would have had dead agents on that stage had

370
00:18:56,320 --> 00:18:59,240
Speaker 5: not been for the CS guys. But somebody really screwed

371
00:18:59,280 --> 00:19:01,320
Speaker 5: the pooch on this one. They really really messed up

372
00:19:01,320 --> 00:19:02,960
Speaker 5: and it should not have happened. I mean it is

373
00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:05,480
Speaker 5: a failure. And the fact that Biden didn't know. But listen,

374
00:19:05,760 --> 00:19:07,320
Speaker 5: I had the Secret Service came from Pepsi. I mean,

375
00:19:07,359 --> 00:19:09,399
Speaker 5: why wuldn't you come from Pepsi. I mean that seems

376
00:19:09,440 --> 00:19:12,800
Speaker 5: like a guys, this country needs to change. It's insane.

377
00:19:12,920 --> 00:19:15,640
Speaker 5: I mean, all this DEI stuff is It's just insane.

378
00:19:15,680 --> 00:19:18,760
Speaker 4: Do you I mean you would know this, do you?

379
00:19:18,760 --> 00:19:21,639
Speaker 4: Your dad the top people around advising him. Are you

380
00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:24,160
Speaker 4: already thinking about who's going to go? Everyone talks about

381
00:19:24,160 --> 00:19:26,680
Speaker 4: secretary of State. There are certain roles right that people

382
00:19:26,720 --> 00:19:29,040
Speaker 4: play this parlor game. If you will, look where they're

383
00:19:29,080 --> 00:19:32,000
Speaker 4: going to go. No one ever thinks of Secret Service director.

384
00:19:32,040 --> 00:19:34,000
Speaker 4: I know it's under DHS, but people don't think of

385
00:19:34,040 --> 00:19:37,040
Speaker 4: necessarily some of those agency positions. But having been to

386
00:19:37,119 --> 00:19:39,119
Speaker 4: the big dance, so to speak, once as the president

387
00:19:39,160 --> 00:19:41,000
Speaker 4: and having been there by your dad, as he did it.

388
00:19:41,560 --> 00:19:45,080
Speaker 4: Are you already thinking about that next tier, especially on

389
00:19:45,080 --> 00:19:48,040
Speaker 4: the security, national security side of things. Who can clean

390
00:19:48,080 --> 00:19:50,240
Speaker 4: these places up? Because the culture is I mean I

391
00:19:50,240 --> 00:19:51,840
Speaker 4: can speak from the CIA side. I have a lot

392
00:19:51,880 --> 00:19:54,239
Speaker 4: of friends still in there. The culture is messed up.

393
00:19:54,280 --> 00:19:56,360
Speaker 4: It's not just people are making mistakes.

394
00:19:56,440 --> 00:19:58,520
Speaker 5: You better believe that's gonna be his number one priority

395
00:19:58,560 --> 00:20:01,040
Speaker 5: on day one. Is any house in these shops that

396
00:20:01,080 --> 00:20:03,320
Speaker 5: are just out of control? See how I mean? Listen,

397
00:20:03,320 --> 00:20:05,399
Speaker 5: I thought the whole Russia hoaxs invesciesch. I was the

398
00:20:05,400 --> 00:20:07,080
Speaker 5: guy that got the phone call, right, I got the

399
00:20:07,080 --> 00:20:09,720
Speaker 5: call from New York Times, the Washington Post. I hear

400
00:20:09,720 --> 00:20:12,120
Speaker 5: there are secret servers in the basement of Trump Tower

401
00:20:12,200 --> 00:20:14,920
Speaker 5: that are communicating directly with the Kremlin. I go, first

402
00:20:14,960 --> 00:20:16,440
Speaker 5: of all, we're like a cloud based company, so we

403
00:20:16,480 --> 00:20:18,119
Speaker 5: don't have server. Second of all, you don't put servers

404
00:20:18,119 --> 00:20:21,280
Speaker 5: and basements because basement's flood. So let's just start the office.

405
00:20:21,520 --> 00:20:23,879
Speaker 5: And they let that crap go on for three years.

406
00:20:23,920 --> 00:20:27,399
Speaker 6: They paided two nuclear superpowers against each other for the

407
00:20:27,440 --> 00:20:29,320
Speaker 6: sake of trying to get Hillary an extra three votes.

408
00:20:29,320 --> 00:20:31,680
Speaker 5: All right, let's just let's be honest with who these

409
00:20:31,680 --> 00:20:34,080
Speaker 5: people are. They knew it was a sham day one,

410
00:20:34,440 --> 00:20:36,679
Speaker 5: and they let it go on and hang over the presidency.

411
00:20:36,720 --> 00:20:40,640
Speaker 5: That's how bad it is. Believe me, this problem will

412
00:20:40,640 --> 00:20:43,080
Speaker 5: be taken care of on day one. He knows the bad,

413
00:20:43,119 --> 00:20:45,200
Speaker 5: he knows the good, he knows how the system works,

414
00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:46,920
Speaker 5: he knows how the system has targeted him, and you

415
00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:49,240
Speaker 5: better believe me, they'll get cleaned up. And you better

416
00:20:49,280 --> 00:20:51,639
Speaker 5: believe me there will be there'll be changes made in

417
00:20:51,840 --> 00:20:52,600
Speaker 5: that organization.

418
00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:55,960
Speaker 3: As a son, somebody takes a shot at my dad

419
00:20:56,560 --> 00:21:00,959
Speaker 3: and they say, the FBI is investigating the same FBI

420
00:21:01,080 --> 00:21:03,760
Speaker 3: that is trying to put my dad in prison for

421
00:21:03,800 --> 00:21:06,919
Speaker 3: the rest of his life. Don't you have to be

422
00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:09,679
Speaker 3: sitting there saying, how in the world can we trust

423
00:21:09,800 --> 00:21:13,000
Speaker 3: any of the government apparatus that is surrounding him right

424
00:21:13,040 --> 00:21:16,919
Speaker 3: now even to try to figure out this assassination story,

425
00:21:16,960 --> 00:21:19,320
Speaker 3: how it happened. It's so corrupt. I mean, that was

426
00:21:19,359 --> 00:21:21,359
Speaker 3: what I would think as a son. That has to

427
00:21:21,359 --> 00:21:23,080
Speaker 3: be going through your mind all the time.

428
00:21:22,960 --> 00:21:25,400
Speaker 5: As they started this whole sharrade by spying on his campaign. Yes,

429
00:21:25,480 --> 00:21:27,960
Speaker 5: and he said it, and then on sixteen minutes say no, no, no,

430
00:21:28,480 --> 00:21:29,879
Speaker 5: how do you have any proof because they're spying on

431
00:21:29,880 --> 00:21:31,439
Speaker 5: my campaign. I'm telling you the spying on my pay

432
00:21:31,440 --> 00:21:33,000
Speaker 5: Sure enough, they were obviously spying on his campaign. No,

433
00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:35,359
Speaker 5: I don't have any trust and neither does the country.

434
00:21:35,359 --> 00:21:36,760
Speaker 5: And by the way, I've got a couple buddies who

435
00:21:36,760 --> 00:21:38,960
Speaker 5: are FBI agents. The greatest people you'll ever meet in

436
00:21:38,960 --> 00:21:40,880
Speaker 5: your entire life, right, I mean, this isn't This isn't

437
00:21:40,920 --> 00:21:42,879
Speaker 5: the gun carriers. These are the people who are going

438
00:21:42,920 --> 00:21:45,320
Speaker 5: after organized crime. Right. These are the people on the

439
00:21:45,320 --> 00:21:47,840
Speaker 5: top floor of those very fancy buildings that they said.

440
00:21:47,840 --> 00:21:50,040
Speaker 5: And it's so different than the Secret Service, the people

441
00:21:50,440 --> 00:21:52,400
Speaker 5: that are actually carrying the guns and doing the job

442
00:21:52,440 --> 00:21:54,840
Speaker 5: in the Secret Service, best people you'll ever meet. You

443
00:21:54,880 --> 00:21:56,639
Speaker 5: go to the eighth floor in Washington, DC. And I

444
00:21:56,640 --> 00:21:58,760
Speaker 5: would say the exact opposite. I'm not actually sure if

445
00:21:58,760 --> 00:22:00,600
Speaker 5: they have his best interest in mind. That hurts my

446
00:22:00,640 --> 00:22:03,800
Speaker 5: soul to say I will protect the field agents, you know,

447
00:22:03,960 --> 00:22:05,600
Speaker 5: I mean, many of these guys are some of my

448
00:22:05,840 --> 00:22:07,760
Speaker 5: closest friends. They would do anything for me.

449
00:22:08,880 --> 00:22:11,880
Speaker 4: I did one to ask. Since we're talking personnel, obviously,

450
00:22:11,880 --> 00:22:14,280
Speaker 4: the JD. Van's announcement is a big deal. Some of

451
00:22:14,359 --> 00:22:19,920
Speaker 4: us saw it coming, but months ago Clay owes me

452
00:22:19,960 --> 00:22:21,439
Speaker 4: a stake and we're gonna go out you know that

453
00:22:21,480 --> 00:22:23,440
Speaker 4: place in Miami where they have like the gold case

454
00:22:23,480 --> 00:22:29,880
Speaker 4: and smoke and whatever, all.

455
00:22:29,800 --> 00:22:31,440
Speaker 2: Of it, the theatrics.

456
00:22:31,440 --> 00:22:32,840
Speaker 4: That's where Clay is gonna take me where you have

457
00:22:32,880 --> 00:22:34,399
Speaker 4: to put a little steak bib on me, the whole thing.

458
00:22:34,480 --> 00:22:37,399
Speaker 4: So even great, but JD Vance were very pleased about this.

459
00:22:37,640 --> 00:22:38,959
Speaker 4: I thought it was a great pick. Clay things, it's

460
00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:40,600
Speaker 4: a good pick, and he's happy that it's gone down

461
00:22:40,600 --> 00:22:42,600
Speaker 4: that way. There's some reporting out there that it came

462
00:22:42,640 --> 00:22:44,719
Speaker 4: down to the wire though, and now that the reveal

463
00:22:44,760 --> 00:22:46,800
Speaker 4: has happened and it's clear and it's Don and JD's

464
00:22:46,840 --> 00:22:50,960
Speaker 4: the guy, they're saying that you and your brother Don Junior,

465
00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:54,600

503
00:24:24,400 --> 00:24:27,600
Speaker 5: little hand as a former president walking into kind of

504
00:24:27,600 --> 00:24:29,560
Speaker 5: this grandfather's day, and it was just amazing. He's an

505
00:24:29,600 --> 00:24:31,560
Speaker 5: amazing grandfather. He's an amazing guy. I couldn't ask for

506
00:24:31,600 --> 00:24:33,720
Speaker 5: a better father. And guys, frankly, I wouldn't take all

507
00:24:33,720 --> 00:24:35,200
Speaker 5: the arrows that I did if he wasn't the greatest

508
00:24:35,240 --> 00:24:36,760
Speaker 5: guy in the world. I will fight to the end

509
00:24:36,840 --> 00:24:38,840
Speaker 5: of time for the man. He's done such a great

510
00:24:38,920 --> 00:24:41,240
Speaker 5: job with our family. None of us have ever broken,

511
00:24:41,720 --> 00:24:43,400
Speaker 5: none of us have brought I mean, do you see

512
00:24:43,400 --> 00:24:45,360
Speaker 5: the difference between the Bidens and us? We do.

513
00:24:48,040 --> 00:24:52,800
Speaker 1: You're listening to twenty four, the most important tier in politics,

514
00:24:53,040 --> 00:24:58,400
Speaker 1: with Clay Travis sand Box Sexton, who three point.

515
00:24:58,160 --> 00:25:01,520
Speaker 4: Zero against Biden. I didn't think that they'd be able

516
00:25:01,560 --> 00:25:05,040
Speaker 4: to try to get it to this place, but this

517
00:25:05,119 --> 00:25:07,560
Speaker 4: is where they are. Clay, You've got the updates for me.

518
00:25:08,320 --> 00:25:12,280
Speaker 4: They've now they have officially thrown everything short of the

519
00:25:12,320 --> 00:25:13,000
Speaker 4: twenty fifth.

520
00:25:12,840 --> 00:25:13,720
Speaker 2: Amendment at Biden.

521
00:25:13,760 --> 00:25:15,440
Speaker 4: I think we could say that I think they've pulled

522
00:25:15,480 --> 00:25:16,880
Speaker 4: out all the stops to get.

523
00:25:16,840 --> 00:25:17,199
Speaker 2: Him to go.

524
00:25:17,400 --> 00:25:23,280
Speaker 3: Breaking News Washington Post. I'm going to read the opening paragraph.

525
00:25:23,320 --> 00:25:28,360
Speaker 3: The headline is Obama tells allies Biden needs to seriously

526
00:25:28,480 --> 00:25:30,159
Speaker 3: consider his viability.

527
00:25:31,320 --> 00:25:32,200

530
00:25:39,440 --> 00:25:43,520
Speaker 3: thinks the president needs to seriously consider the viability of

531
00:25:43,600 --> 00:25:47,280
Speaker 3: his candidacy, according to multiple people briefed on the thinking

532
00:25:47,440 --> 00:25:50,760

Speaker 3: Biden personally once since the debate.

534
00:25:53,240 --> 00:25:54,159
Speaker 2: That's not surprising.

535
00:25:54,320 --> 00:25:57,719
Speaker 4: Obama spent eight years with this guy ass VP, and

536
00:25:57,800 --> 00:26:01,439

537
00:26:01,520 --> 00:26:02,400
Speaker 2: Very Obama.

538
00:26:02,600 --> 00:26:06,760
Speaker 3: Behind the scenes, Obama has been deeply engaged in conversations

539
00:26:06,760 --> 00:26:10,280
Speaker 3: about the future of Biden's campaign, taking calls from many

540
00:26:10,400 --> 00:26:14,720
Speaker 3: anxious Democrats, including Pelosi, and he shared his views about

541
00:26:14,760 --> 00:26:19,320
Speaker 3: the president's challenges again this story breaking right now. He

542
00:26:19,440 --> 00:26:24,919
Speaker 3: has only spoken once ever to Joe Biden, according to

543
00:26:24,960 --> 00:26:29,040
Speaker 3: this story, since the actual debate took place. And this

544
00:26:29,240 --> 00:26:35,040
Speaker 3: is the kneecapping. It's very organized, everybody Pelosi, Schumer, Hakeem, Jeffries,

545
00:26:35,119 --> 00:26:37,520
Speaker 3: everybody lining up and coming after him.

546
00:26:37,880 --> 00:26:39,280
Speaker 2: And that is where we are right now.

547
00:26:39,320 --> 00:26:42,119
Speaker 4: I'm just going to say this because I understand right

548
00:26:42,160 --> 00:26:45,479
Speaker 4: now you o'clay follows the betting markets, for example, and

549
00:26:46,080 --> 00:26:49,720
Speaker 4: right now it is eighty twenty that he will step down.

550
00:26:50,520 --> 00:26:53,760
Speaker 4: If I were Joe Biden, I'm just saying, if I

551
00:26:53,920 --> 00:26:55,880
Speaker 4: were Joe Biden right now, I.

552
00:26:55,840 --> 00:26:57,479
Speaker 2: Would say no way.

553
00:26:57,680 --> 00:26:59,920
Speaker 4: But I am buck Sexton, and so I am saying,

554
00:27:00,280 --> 00:27:03,720
Speaker 4: welcome to Donald Trump Junior, who is with us now

555
00:27:03,840 --> 00:27:05,960
Speaker 4: on set. So good to see you, sir, Thanks for

556
00:27:06,320 --> 00:27:10,600
Speaker 4: making the time. We want to talk about your dad's

557
00:27:10,680 --> 00:27:14,720
Speaker 4: enormously important speech tonight, the unity of the party, the

558
00:27:14,760 --> 00:27:17,399
Speaker 4: sense of destiny. There's a lot of amazing stuff. Yeah,

559
00:27:17,440 --> 00:27:18,960
Speaker 4: but I do have to have you wagh In first

560
00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:20,760
Speaker 4: on what the heck is going on with the Democrats

561
00:27:20,840 --> 00:27:22,880
Speaker 4: right now, in the midst of trying to oust their

562
00:27:22,920 --> 00:27:25,159
Speaker 4: president a few weeks before the d n C.

563
00:27:25,480 --> 00:27:26,720
Speaker 2: How do you think this plays out?

564
00:27:26,760 --> 00:27:30,199
Speaker 6: Don Well, you know, again, I don't know that even matters, right,

565
00:27:30,200 --> 00:27:32,439
Speaker 6: because it all comes down to the policies for me,

566
00:27:32,480 --> 00:27:35,000
Speaker 6: and whether it's Joe Biden, you know, signing off one

567
00:27:35,040 --> 00:27:39,360
Speaker 6: whoever's actually in charge, or Kamala Harris, it's the policies

568
00:27:39,359 --> 00:27:40,200
Speaker 6: that have failed a marriage.

569
00:27:40,200 --> 00:27:41,720
Speaker 2: So we're fighting against the system, right, I.

570
00:27:41,720 --> 00:27:43,480
Speaker 6: Think we're fighting the system. I think that couldn't be

571
00:27:43,520 --> 00:27:46,159
Speaker 6: more evident, right, I mean, the borders closed, sure it is.

572
00:27:46,280 --> 00:27:50,440
Speaker 4: It doesn't matter, Donalds, the borders are the thing.

573
00:27:50,600 --> 00:27:52,439
Speaker 6: Well, and you know, honestly, there's a component of it

574
00:27:52,440 --> 00:27:55,280
Speaker 6: that I'm thinking. And again maybe I'm sort of in

575
00:27:55,320 --> 00:27:56,960
Speaker 6: my own little vacuum with some of this stuff. But

576
00:27:57,000 --> 00:27:59,120
Speaker 6: like you know, Joe Biden is sort of the bumbling

577
00:27:59,119 --> 00:28:01,199
Speaker 6: and like everyone hated Hillary, right, it was easy to

578
00:28:01,200 --> 00:28:04,359
Speaker 6: get people to hate Hillary Joe Biden. Make no mistake,

579
00:28:04,400 --> 00:28:06,440
Speaker 6: He's not a good guy. He's taking advantage of every office.

580
00:28:06,480 --> 00:28:09,960
Speaker 6: He's built the system for so long. But like he

581
00:28:10,040 --> 00:28:11,880
Speaker 6: comes off as a sort of bumbling old guy it's

582
00:28:11,880 --> 00:28:14,440
Speaker 6: sort of hard to hate him. I think it's pretty

583
00:28:14,440 --> 00:28:16,159
Speaker 6: easy to hate Kamala Harris. You hear a couple of

584
00:28:16,200 --> 00:28:18,680
Speaker 6: the words salads, and you're like, oh my god, this person.

585
00:28:18,400 --> 00:28:22,680
Speaker 2: Is so fake. I mean, comes across a phony opposite

586
00:28:22,720 --> 00:28:23,159
Speaker 2: of phony.

587
00:28:24,160 --> 00:28:26,280
Speaker 3: How I know your dad's going to be president of

588
00:28:26,280 --> 00:28:29,840
Speaker 3: the United States again, and that's super awesome. How proud

589
00:28:29,880 --> 00:28:33,800
Speaker 3: are you of your daughter and what she did last night?

590
00:28:33,880 --> 00:28:37,080
Speaker 3: Because I thought, I think she's seventeen. I thought she

591
00:28:37,440 --> 00:28:40,560
Speaker 3: just absolutely was incredible. As a dad, I got three kids,

592
00:28:40,640 --> 00:28:43,600
Speaker 3: I imagine that that is just an amazing experience to

593
00:28:43,640 --> 00:28:46,200
Speaker 3: see her perform like that on that stage.

594
00:28:45,960 --> 00:28:48,680
Speaker 6: It was incredible. And she's just such a game time player.

595
00:28:48,680 --> 00:28:51,160
Speaker 6: She's a great athlete, and she literally you know, And again,

596
00:28:51,200 --> 00:28:53,480
Speaker 6: it wasn't one of these like marketing gimmick, like we

597
00:28:53,520 --> 00:28:55,600
Speaker 6: got to put out a young girl who like she

598
00:28:55,680 --> 00:28:57,680
Speaker 6: literally called me on Monday because she was the one

599
00:28:57,680 --> 00:28:59,720
Speaker 6: that was with me when I found out my dad

600
00:28:59,720 --> 00:29:01,920
Speaker 6: had been shot, and like we were together for that

601
00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:03,800
Speaker 6: hour and a half to like, yeah, I was We're

602
00:29:03,840 --> 00:29:07,800
Speaker 6: out fishing on a boat, like a rough time. She

603
00:29:07,880 --> 00:29:10,680
Speaker 6: calls me Monday morning and she's like, I feel really

604
00:29:10,720 --> 00:29:12,360
Speaker 6: strongly about this. I want to speak and it's like,

605
00:29:12,360 --> 00:29:14,320
Speaker 6: you know, the RNC has been scheduled for like two weeks.

606
00:29:14,360 --> 00:29:16,240
Speaker 6: I was like, you can just like I'll just bump

607
00:29:16,320 --> 00:29:17,840
Speaker 6: some senator or something. Again, Like I was like, I

608
00:29:17,880 --> 00:29:19,400
Speaker 6: don't even know what's doable. I called my dad. I

609
00:29:19,400 --> 00:29:21,320
Speaker 6: was like, hey, I just give her someone my time.

610
00:29:21,400 --> 00:29:24,440
Speaker 6: He goes one hundred percent and uh, you know, so

611
00:29:24,640 --> 00:29:28,240
Speaker 6: she'd never she's not political, she's but she's just she

612
00:29:28,360 --> 00:29:30,360
Speaker 6: was there for that moment. She saw him come out,

613
00:29:30,440 --> 00:29:32,600
Speaker 6: and you know, she was like, I have to just

614
00:29:32,640 --> 00:29:34,920
Speaker 6: say something. I just I feel obligated at this point.

615
00:29:34,920 --> 00:29:36,200
Speaker 6: And it was amazing.

616
00:29:36,280 --> 00:29:39,120
Speaker 3: I want to ask you just hinted at it. Daughter

617
00:29:39,200 --> 00:29:41,240
Speaker 3: killed it on the stage last night. She was amazing

618
00:29:41,880 --> 00:29:45,560
Speaker 3: that experience on Saturday. I think you were out fishing.

619
00:29:45,800 --> 00:29:48,080
Speaker 3: You don't know what happened. How did you become aware

620
00:29:48,160 --> 00:29:51,280
Speaker 3: of what had occurred and take us into your worldview?

621
00:29:51,520 --> 00:29:53,880
Speaker 6: Yeah, you know, Kim gave me a call like your

622
00:29:53,960 --> 00:30:00,520
Speaker 6: dad's been shot, Like well okay, like and like that's it. Yeah,

623
00:30:00,560 --> 00:30:05,040
Speaker 6: but we don't know. I'm like, wow, that I got nothing.

624
00:30:05,040 --> 00:30:07,560
Speaker 6: So I literal you get the boat in Blind's in it.

625
00:30:07,560 --> 00:30:09,720
Speaker 6: We were just you know, it was weird because like

626
00:30:09,760 --> 00:30:11,760
Speaker 6: my daughter seventeen year old, are like, you get that

627
00:30:11,760 --> 00:30:13,640
Speaker 6: call like once a year like hey, I want to

628
00:30:13,680 --> 00:30:14,080
Speaker 6: go do this.

629
00:30:14,160 --> 00:30:15,240
Speaker 5: I was like, one hundred percent.

630
00:30:15,280 --> 00:30:17,120
Speaker 6: You just got to take every opportunity that you can,

631
00:30:18,000 --> 00:30:19,600
Speaker 6: if and when that ever presents itself.

632
00:30:20,040 --> 00:30:21,960
Speaker 5: And so you know, we're rushing in. We get in.

633
00:30:22,080 --> 00:30:23,920
Speaker 6: We you know, I get all my kind of other

634
00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:26,520
Speaker 6: kids kind of sorted out, and I actually why I

635
00:30:26,520 --> 00:30:28,520
Speaker 6: live in Jupiter floor, Like the police there sorted like,

636
00:30:28,600 --> 00:30:31,680
Speaker 6: we're around my house with that unrequested by me. There

637
00:30:32,080 --> 00:30:33,640
Speaker 6: no one knew what was happening, if it was a

638
00:30:33,640 --> 00:30:36,440
Speaker 6: bigger threat to our family or whatever it was. So

639
00:30:36,600 --> 00:30:40,480
Speaker 6: get there, sweated ninety minutes, ninety minutes before I could

640
00:30:40,520 --> 00:30:42,640
Speaker 6: even make contact to know that anything. But by then

641
00:30:42,680 --> 00:30:44,320
Speaker 6: I'd seen the sort of videos and I was just

642
00:30:44,360 --> 00:30:46,360
Speaker 6: like I saw him come back up to find I

643
00:30:46,440 --> 00:30:48,880
Speaker 6: was like, WELLOK, he's doing that. He's not It's not

644
00:30:48,920 --> 00:30:51,400
Speaker 6: like a Kennedy situation or so like yeah, so it's

645
00:30:51,400 --> 00:30:55,200
Speaker 6: a question how bad. And finally I get through to

646
00:30:55,240 --> 00:30:57,880
Speaker 6: him and we're all on speaker phone. My ex wife

647
00:30:57,920 --> 00:31:01,200
Speaker 6: is there, Kim's there, my daughter's like kids, my brothers

648
00:31:01,200 --> 00:31:03,240
Speaker 6: on the other line were on the speakerphone, and I

649
00:31:03,280 --> 00:31:05,800
Speaker 6: was just like, hey, man, you are the biggest badass

650
00:31:05,840 --> 00:31:10,040
Speaker 6: I've ever Again, these days, everyone tunks shit online everyone,

651
00:31:10,160 --> 00:31:12,240
Speaker 6: you know, everyone's a badass on the internet, you know

652
00:31:12,240 --> 00:31:13,479
Speaker 6: what I mean, We've seen that. And I was like,

653
00:31:13,880 --> 00:31:15,880
Speaker 6: until you're actually test I spoke about that it in

654
00:31:15,960 --> 00:31:18,000
Speaker 6: my speech, like you never know, like everyone wants to

655
00:31:18,000 --> 00:31:20,320
Speaker 6: think they come back up defiant, but most of the time.

656
00:31:21,040 --> 00:31:22,760
Speaker 4: Most people I know a lot of people who have

657
00:31:22,800 --> 00:31:25,040
Speaker 4: been shot at, and very few of them would say, yeah,

658
00:31:25,040 --> 00:31:26,520
Speaker 4: if I actually got hit, I'd just be.

659
00:31:26,640 --> 00:31:29,640
Speaker 2: Defiant throws in the air, not a whole other level.

660
00:31:29,760 --> 00:31:32,840
Speaker 6: So you know, But honestly, it's it's so indicative of

661
00:31:33,040 --> 00:31:36,520
Speaker 6: you know, our country that that's that's why our enemies

662
00:31:37,240 --> 00:31:39,920
Speaker 6: didn't invade their neighbors and drag us into wars. That's

663
00:31:39,960 --> 00:31:42,240
Speaker 6: why you're able to get those things done because like you,

664
00:31:42,240 --> 00:31:43,400
Speaker 6: you exude.

665
00:31:42,920 --> 00:31:47,000
Speaker 4: That your dad exactly why the fighting spirit of America,

666
00:31:47,680 --> 00:31:50,480
Speaker 4: centuries of the fighting spirit of America, of the patriotism

667
00:31:50,520 --> 00:31:54,120
Speaker 4: of this country all in one moment and captured on

668
00:31:54,120 --> 00:31:55,720
Speaker 4: on photo in a way that I think is going

669
00:31:55,800 --> 00:31:56,440
Speaker 4: to be timeless.

670
00:31:56,640 --> 00:31:58,720
Speaker 6: Yeah, that's that makes the mugshot look like a kid

671
00:31:58,760 --> 00:31:59,520
Speaker 6: drew it with a crayon.

672
00:32:01,320 --> 00:32:05,400
Speaker 4: H I would have given you one hundred to one

673
00:32:05,440 --> 00:32:07,480
Speaker 4: odds that there's no way he could he.

674
00:32:07,200 --> 00:32:08,800
Speaker 2: Hear it do the mug shot.

675
00:32:08,960 --> 00:32:12,240
Speaker 4: But in terms of your dad's mentality, now there has

676
00:32:12,360 --> 00:32:16,800
Speaker 4: been a sense observed in the media that you know,

677
00:32:16,840 --> 00:32:19,080
Speaker 4: he's been through all this fight. He seems to have

678
00:32:19,480 --> 00:32:22,240
Speaker 4: not only beaten the law Fair campaign up to this point,

679
00:32:22,320 --> 00:32:25,120
Speaker 4: but really turned it against the people that are abusing

680
00:32:25,520 --> 00:32:27,719
Speaker 4: the judiciary for politics.

681
00:32:27,200 --> 00:32:28,240
Speaker 2: Weaponizing it right.

682
00:32:28,760 --> 00:32:30,920
Speaker 4: But after what happened on Saturday, people seem to be

683
00:32:30,960 --> 00:32:34,959
Speaker 4: observing a seriousness and a sense of true destiny with

684
00:32:35,000 --> 00:32:35,440
Speaker 4: your dad.

685
00:32:35,520 --> 00:32:36,600
Speaker 2: I wanted you to speak to that.

686
00:32:37,840 --> 00:32:42,720
Speaker 6: Okah, so you see that you look at the the probability.

687
00:32:42,720 --> 00:32:45,120
Speaker 6: I'm I came from a competitive long range shooting background,

688
00:32:45,160 --> 00:32:46,960
Speaker 6: Like I was, like, that's like a six inch put

689
00:32:46,960 --> 00:32:50,840
Speaker 6: that shot. You see the head turn and lean the

690
00:32:50,920 --> 00:32:54,480
Speaker 6: only one in ten minutes. You see, by the way,

691
00:32:54,360 --> 00:32:56,800
Speaker 6: the gross in coombetence that led to that. Marshall Blackburn

692
00:32:56,840 --> 00:32:59,479
Speaker 6: came on My Showl on my Triggered podcast last night

693
00:32:59,520 --> 00:33:01,680
Speaker 6: on Rumbull and she was just walking by and she's

694
00:33:01,720 --> 00:33:03,640
Speaker 6: like before I even went on air. She's like, hey,

695
00:33:03,720 --> 00:33:05,320
Speaker 6: we just got off the call with Secret Service. You

696
00:33:05,400 --> 00:33:07,160
Speaker 6: know that, Like they knew there was a shooter there

697
00:33:07,160 --> 00:33:09,760
Speaker 6: at like at five point fifty one. I got five

698
00:33:09,800 --> 00:33:11,760
Speaker 6: foftwy one. He didn't get on till six. She goes, oh, yeah,

699
00:33:11,800 --> 00:33:13,840
Speaker 6: I know. They identified the guy on the roof at

700
00:33:13,840 --> 00:33:15,440
Speaker 6: five point fifty three with a rifle.

701
00:33:15,600 --> 00:33:17,360
Speaker 2: I've got that timeline right here. I can't believe h.

702
00:33:17,800 --> 00:33:19,959
Speaker 6: At and they let him get on this Like I

703
00:33:20,000 --> 00:33:21,640
Speaker 6: was like, Okay, someone climbed up a roof.

704
00:33:21,640 --> 00:33:22,000
Speaker 2: Really what?

705
00:33:22,160 --> 00:33:22,800
Speaker 5: Maybe again?

706
00:33:22,840 --> 00:33:24,840
Speaker 6: You know, my father, the rallies are so much of

707
00:33:24,920 --> 00:33:27,680
Speaker 6: law enforcement, they're somaga. Maybe they were watching instead of

708
00:33:27,680 --> 00:33:31,280
Speaker 6: paying attention, so if it was started, you know, maybe

709
00:33:31,320 --> 00:33:34,760
Speaker 6: they'd eyes off the prize for a second. No, no, no,

710
00:33:35,000 --> 00:33:37,680
Speaker 6: they knew, and he hadn't even been on stage yet.

711
00:33:37,720 --> 00:33:40,120
Speaker 6: They let him get on stage, and then eleven minutes

712
00:33:40,160 --> 00:33:42,160
Speaker 6: in is when the shans got so for twenty minutes

713
00:33:42,240 --> 00:33:44,760
Speaker 6: they knew, they still let him get on that stage.

714
00:33:44,960 --> 00:33:48,200
Speaker 5: Like that's that's asinine.

715
00:33:47,560 --> 00:33:49,560
Speaker 3: For people who haven't heard that timeline, let me hit

716
00:33:49,600 --> 00:33:50,040
Speaker 3: you with it.

717
00:33:50,240 --> 00:33:50,880
Speaker 2: Five ten.

718
00:33:51,000 --> 00:33:54,160
Speaker 3: They identified the shooter as a perfect person of interest

719
00:33:54,240 --> 00:33:57,040
Speaker 3: five ten five point thirty they saw that he had

720
00:33:57,080 --> 00:34:00,120
Speaker 3: a range finder. This is Secret Service timeline. If I

721
00:34:00,160 --> 00:34:04,240
Speaker 3: point fifty two, they saw him on the roof six

722
00:34:04,440 --> 00:34:06,920
Speaker 3: oh two. Ten minutes after this guy was on the roof,

723
00:34:06,960 --> 00:34:10,360
Speaker 3: they let your dad take the stage ten more minutes.

724
00:34:10,600 --> 00:34:13,080
Speaker 2: The first shots are fire. It's insane.

725
00:34:14,120 --> 00:34:16,600
Speaker 6: So you know, for that, hey, I don't need to

726
00:34:16,600 --> 00:34:18,680
Speaker 6: be I don't want to be the guy to get conspiratorial.

727
00:34:18,719 --> 00:34:19,400
Speaker 5: I'm not gonna do that.

728
00:34:19,520 --> 00:34:22,200
Speaker 6: I'm sure everyone else is doing it because there's almost

729
00:34:22,239 --> 00:34:24,920
Speaker 6: no other plausible solution. It's like wuhan lableek theory, like,

730
00:34:25,440 --> 00:34:27,120
Speaker 6: of course it came from the lab that studies the

731
00:34:27,160 --> 00:34:29,320
Speaker 6: virus in the place that was grand like of course,

732
00:34:29,360 --> 00:34:30,799
Speaker 6: but you know you weren't allowed to say that at

733
00:34:30,840 --> 00:34:33,640
Speaker 6: the time. But like, there's no way. And so when

734
00:34:33,680 --> 00:34:35,880
Speaker 6: you bring it sort of to the you know, divine

735
00:34:35,960 --> 00:34:39,120
Speaker 6: intervention component, and I'm not an overly spiritual kind of guy,

736
00:34:39,280 --> 00:34:42,239
Speaker 6: but I was like, I don't know, man, like, it

737
00:34:42,360 --> 00:34:46,440
Speaker 6: seems like almost impossible for that to not have a

738
00:34:46,560 --> 00:34:47,680
Speaker 6: been We agree.

739
00:34:47,440 --> 00:34:51,200
Speaker 4: I mean it's almost I met you know, you your

740
00:34:51,320 --> 00:34:54,600
Speaker 4: dad Ivanka Eric thirty years ago. I met him when

741
00:34:54,640 --> 00:34:55,960
Speaker 4: he was a dad, when he was just your dad, right,

742
00:34:56,000 --> 00:34:58,319
Speaker 4: another one of the dads in New York, and so,

743
00:34:58,400 --> 00:35:00,680
Speaker 4: my my. The feeling was going through my ad a

744
00:35:00,760 --> 00:35:04,120
Speaker 4: time is oh my god, this is Eric and Ivanka

745
00:35:04,239 --> 00:35:06,960
Speaker 4: and Don Junior's father. Oh my god, the country, Oh

746
00:35:06,960 --> 00:35:10,480
Speaker 4: my god, what's going to happen. I haven't had an

747
00:35:10,520 --> 00:35:14,839
Speaker 4: emotional reaction like that since I saw Honest to God

748
00:35:14,880 --> 00:35:17,080
Speaker 4: when I was in college, which led me to the CIA,

749
00:35:17,120 --> 00:35:18,880
Speaker 4: the planes going into the towers in real time. I

750
00:35:18,920 --> 00:35:21,680
Speaker 4: saw the second one actually hit that. It was that feeling.

751
00:35:22,120 --> 00:35:25,400
Speaker 4: But what's I think just incredible about this week is

752
00:35:25,440 --> 00:35:28,440
Speaker 4: that that feeling was then replaced with your dad's.

753
00:35:28,480 --> 00:35:30,520
Speaker 2: Okay, your dad's fist on the stage.

754
00:35:30,760 --> 00:35:33,719
Speaker 4: Your dad has unified the Republican Party like we have

755
00:35:34,000 --> 00:35:36,680
Speaker 4: honestly never seen before in my lifetime. I would say

756
00:35:36,719 --> 00:35:38,960
Speaker 4: the country was incredibly unified after nine to eleven. The

757
00:35:39,000 --> 00:35:41,560
Speaker 4: Republican Party is more unified right now behind your dad

758
00:35:41,560 --> 00:35:42,760
Speaker 4: than we've ever seen it before.

759
00:35:43,800 --> 00:35:46,000
Speaker 2: The sense of destiny that he has.

760
00:35:46,680 --> 00:35:49,319
Speaker 4: How is he feeling about that?

761
00:35:49,520 --> 00:35:51,239
Speaker 2: And how is he more focused than ever?

762
00:35:52,280 --> 00:35:54,440
Speaker 6: Again, I just don't think he's taking anything for granted.

763
00:35:54,440 --> 00:35:56,280
Speaker 6: I mean, I think the sense of destiny is probably

764
00:35:56,320 --> 00:35:59,560
Speaker 6: not something he's even feeling or has not articulated to

765
00:35:59,600 --> 00:36:03,520
Speaker 6: me person. But uh, I think anyone watching, anyone who

766
00:36:03,560 --> 00:36:05,640
Speaker 6: sees the numbers, anyone who sees the thing, It's like

767
00:36:06,320 --> 00:36:10,920
Speaker 6: there's almost no other conclusion. I think without question. I

768
00:36:10,960 --> 00:36:11,719
Speaker 6: think without question.

769
00:36:12,120 --> 00:36:15,319
Speaker 3: You guys, let's finish with something funny because I saw

770
00:36:15,360 --> 00:36:17,040
Speaker 3: this quote, and I want you to tell our audience.

771
00:36:17,800 --> 00:36:20,160
Speaker 3: You your family has a great sense of humor that

772
00:36:20,400 --> 00:36:22,480
Speaker 3: much of the media does not get it right.

773
00:36:22,520 --> 00:36:24,359
Speaker 6: Your dad has a great say. They try to they

774
00:36:24,360 --> 00:36:27,200
Speaker 6: try to warp it, like I can't understand. But I

775
00:36:27,280 --> 00:36:29,480
Speaker 6: saw this quote. I want you to tell our audience

776
00:36:29,480 --> 00:36:31,319
Speaker 6: because I haven't heard you tell it. I just read it.

777
00:36:31,920 --> 00:36:34,960
Speaker 3: Once you knew your dad was okay, you got on

778
00:36:35,040 --> 00:36:38,080
Speaker 3: the phone and you asked him about his hair.

779
00:36:38,320 --> 00:36:40,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, well tell us, I mean, once you knew he

780
00:36:40,760 --> 00:36:41,520
Speaker 2: was okay, Like.

781
00:36:42,160 --> 00:36:43,759
Speaker 6: I started off with a hey, man, I think you're

782
00:36:43,760 --> 00:36:45,560
Speaker 6: the biggest badass ever. Yeah, and then it was just

783
00:36:45,600 --> 00:36:48,160
Speaker 6: sort of just a little family talking, Hey glad you're okay.

784
00:36:48,200 --> 00:36:51,560
Speaker 5: But it was so heavy. Yes, and I'm always the inappropriate.

785
00:36:51,360 --> 00:36:54,680
Speaker 6: Yeah, I got I probably have his his sort of

786
00:36:54,680 --> 00:36:58,680
Speaker 6: inclination just be like okay, So I just go so listen,

787
00:36:58,760 --> 00:37:02,839
Speaker 6: most importantly how the hair, and he just goes therese

788
00:37:02,840 --> 00:37:05,880
Speaker 6: are pauses, like I was like, is this getting more?

789
00:37:06,760 --> 00:37:10,240
Speaker 5: This is a pause? He goes done. The hair is fine,

790
00:37:10,600 --> 00:37:12,360
Speaker 5: a little bit lot of blood, a lot of blood,

791
00:37:12,360 --> 00:37:14,040
Speaker 5: but the hair is fine. It's gonna be okay.

792
00:37:14,080 --> 00:37:15,879
Speaker 6: And that was like for us honestly as a family,

793
00:37:16,000 --> 00:37:17,680
Speaker 6: because like I said, we're all on sort of speakerphone

794
00:37:17,719 --> 00:37:19,160
Speaker 6: after an hour and a half of just like is

795
00:37:19,200 --> 00:37:21,120
Speaker 6: here even alive, and it was.

796
00:37:21,080 --> 00:37:23,879
Speaker 5: Just like knew it was there. He's good.

797
00:37:24,120 --> 00:37:26,960
Speaker 6: It was a moment of like, okay, like everything is

798
00:37:26,960 --> 00:37:27,640
Speaker 6: gonna be okay.

799
00:37:27,800 --> 00:37:28,360
Speaker 2: That's amazing.

800
00:37:28,400 --> 00:37:30,640
Speaker 4: Well, look, it's so exciting tonight with your dad's speech

801
00:37:30,640 --> 00:37:32,480
Speaker 4: coming up and we're gonna be watching it here and

802
00:37:32,600 --> 00:37:35,880
Speaker 4: U don just thanks to you, your dad, the whole family,

803
00:37:36,120 --> 00:37:37,799
Speaker 4: like you guys didn't have to do this, And I

804
00:37:37,800 --> 00:37:40,600
Speaker 4: think people now understand that more than ever before.

805
00:37:40,920 --> 00:37:42,480
Speaker 2: This is about serving the country.

806
00:37:42,880 --> 00:37:44,640
Speaker 6: We've been They've tried to find us. They've tried to

807
00:37:44,719 --> 00:37:47,399
Speaker 6: jail us, including me, for treason and Cram punishable by death.

808
00:37:47,440 --> 00:37:50,120
Speaker 6: They tried peaching him twice. They tried taking away our businesses.

809
00:37:50,120 --> 00:37:52,080
Speaker 6: They find us half a billion dollars in New York

810
00:37:52,120 --> 00:37:54,000
Speaker 6: for paying back loans on time with interest.

811
00:37:54,080 --> 00:37:56,160
Speaker 2: I mean, you know now they're shooting at us.

812
00:37:56,160 --> 00:37:58,600
Speaker 6: So yeah, it was a lot easier being a real

813
00:37:58,719 --> 00:37:59,759
Speaker 6: estate developer from New York.

814
00:37:59,760 --> 00:38:02,400
Speaker 5: You knew us in those days, so a little different.

815
00:38:02,560 --> 00:38:05,000
Speaker 4: You didn't have you tell everybody your dad could just

816
00:38:05,000 --> 00:38:06,400
Speaker 4: be playing golf forever and he would have had a

817
00:38:06,400 --> 00:38:07,879
Speaker 4: great legacy in the first four years.

818
00:38:07,920 --> 00:38:10,319
Speaker 2: So anyway, God bless you man the whole thing. Thank you.

819
00:38:10,480 --> 00:38:13,000
Speaker 2: I appreciate you being here and really appreciate it. Thank

820
00:38:13,080 --> 00:38:13,600
Speaker 2: you so much.

821
00:38:15,800 --> 00:38:20,200
Speaker 1: You're listening to twenty four the Year of Impact with

822
00:38:20,280 --> 00:38:21,280
Speaker 1: Clay and Buck.

823
00:38:22,800 --> 00:38:27,400
Speaker 4: Speaker of the House Mike Johnson, Mister Speaker honored that

824
00:38:27,440 --> 00:38:28,960
Speaker 4: you'd make the time to tat with us here at

825
00:38:29,000 --> 00:38:32,880
Speaker 4: the RNC. I want to dive right into it. We

826
00:38:32,920 --> 00:38:35,560
Speaker 4: all know that there's a lot of pressure on Biden

827
00:38:35,680 --> 00:38:37,520
Speaker 4: right now, and we'll get into some more of that

828
00:38:37,880 --> 00:38:40,320
Speaker 4: to step down from his own party, from his own side,

829
00:38:40,920 --> 00:38:44,080
Speaker 4: no matter what it seems. Right now the place where

830
00:38:44,080 --> 00:38:47,680
Speaker 4: Democrats are gonna perhaps we could call it their Imagine

831
00:38:47,719 --> 00:38:50,240
Speaker 4: No line, and hopefully it will be about just as effective.

832
00:38:50,520 --> 00:38:55,239
Speaker 4: They think that they'll be able to stop the unified

833
00:38:55,280 --> 00:38:59,200
Speaker 4: government by getting a House majority, and they're gonna throw.

834
00:38:59,080 --> 00:38:59,960
Speaker 2: Everything they have into it.

835
00:39:00,560 --> 00:39:04,160
Speaker 4: Are you seeing that shift of focus and funds already

836
00:39:04,440 --> 00:39:06,640
Speaker 4: and how are you going to blunt it?

837
00:39:07,280 --> 00:39:08,960
Speaker 7: We are beginning to see it already. Great to be

838
00:39:09,000 --> 00:39:10,319
Speaker 7: with you guys. By the way, thank you for being

839
00:39:10,320 --> 00:39:12,560
Speaker 7: with what an epic week. We're going a great time here.

840
00:39:13,200 --> 00:39:15,319
Speaker 7: That is not going to dampen our spirits or change

841
00:39:15,320 --> 00:39:18,000
Speaker 7: our strategy at all. We've been working NonStop, guys. I've

842
00:39:18,000 --> 00:39:20,160
Speaker 7: done events in one hundred and forty four cities now

843
00:39:20,160 --> 00:39:22,279
Speaker 7: in thirty one states in the last seven months. We're

844
00:39:22,280 --> 00:39:24,880
Speaker 7: going everywhere where we have our incumbents, even in the

845
00:39:24,880 --> 00:39:27,080
Speaker 7: tight reelex and where we have the people that we've

846
00:39:27,239 --> 00:39:29,840
Speaker 7: recruited to challenge these seats and flip them from blue

847
00:39:29,840 --> 00:39:32,200
Speaker 7: to red. All the Poulin is saying we're in good

848
00:39:32,200 --> 00:39:33,960
Speaker 7: shape to do that. We don't take anything for granted.

849
00:39:34,040 --> 00:39:36,320
Speaker 7: We never will. We run like we're ten points behind.

850
00:39:36,400 --> 00:39:39,960
Speaker 7: We set fundraising records for the second quarter because everyone's motivated.

851
00:39:40,160 --> 00:39:42,560
Speaker 7: But this does change the game a little bit because

852
00:39:42,640 --> 00:39:45,600
Speaker 7: now the big Hollywood mogul types and the big money

853
00:39:45,640 --> 00:39:48,160
Speaker 7: is turning from the presidential resigning themselves to the fact

854
00:39:48,160 --> 00:39:50,440
Speaker 7: that Trump gets re elected and now they're going to

855
00:39:50,440 --> 00:39:51,960
Speaker 7: try to build a foleow world in the House. As

856
00:39:52,000 --> 00:39:54,439
Speaker 7: you said, so the challenge is greater, but the game

857
00:39:54,440 --> 00:39:55,399
Speaker 7: plans exactly the saying.

858
00:39:55,440 --> 00:39:57,120
Speaker 3: We know there's been a lot of gerrymandering in the

859
00:39:57,160 --> 00:40:00,839
Speaker 3: House over the years, both directions, different states. How many

860
00:40:00,880 --> 00:40:04,640
Speaker 3: when you look at the overall map, how many addressable

861
00:40:04,840 --> 00:40:07,319
Speaker 3: or winnable seats do you see on the board that

862
00:40:07,400 --> 00:40:09,400
Speaker 3: you even compete in either side?

863
00:40:09,480 --> 00:40:10,400
Speaker 2: How many are out there?

864
00:40:10,840 --> 00:40:14,640
Speaker 7: So the number has dwindled because of gerrymandering, redistricting. You know,

865
00:40:14,920 --> 00:40:17,120
Speaker 7: we're gone. Are the days where we'd have a forty

866
00:40:17,239 --> 00:40:19,440
Speaker 7: or forty five seat majority? Is it not possible anymore?

867
00:40:20,000 --> 00:40:22,480
Speaker 7: The Cook Report is one pretty good arbiter of this.

868
00:40:22,680 --> 00:40:25,319
Speaker 7: We all rate the districts, and R plus twelve is

869
00:40:25,360 --> 00:40:26,920
Speaker 7: my district. That means it's a Cook rating.

870
00:40:27,000 --> 00:40:27,200
Speaker 2: Right.

871
00:40:27,560 --> 00:40:29,319
Speaker 7: They looked at the race this fall and they said

872
00:40:29,360 --> 00:40:31,600
Speaker 7: there are two hundred and ten safe Republican seats, two

873
00:40:31,680 --> 00:40:35,200
Speaker 7: hundred and third three safe Democrat seats, twenty two seats

874
00:40:35,239 --> 00:40:37,920
Speaker 7: in the middle. They assessed at eleven lean right and

875
00:40:38,000 --> 00:40:38,600
Speaker 7: eleven len.

876
00:40:38,640 --> 00:40:41,479
Speaker 3: How wild is that that only twenty two seats out

877
00:40:41,480 --> 00:40:43,759
Speaker 3: there are really in play at this point in time.

878
00:40:44,760 --> 00:40:47,440
Speaker 7: It's a remarkable thing about how politics have developed and

879
00:40:47,480 --> 00:40:49,680
Speaker 7: how the districts have been redrawn and the legislators have

880
00:40:49,760 --> 00:40:50,680
Speaker 7: gotten so involved.

881
00:40:50,680 --> 00:40:52,200
Speaker 2: But that's the reality on the ground.

882
00:40:52,239 --> 00:40:54,640
Speaker 7: So we're fighting tooth and nail for every engine on

883
00:40:54,680 --> 00:40:57,720
Speaker 7: the field, literally, and we believe that we can achieve

884
00:40:57,840 --> 00:41:00,319
Speaker 7: a ten or twelve or fifteen seat majority, but it

885
00:41:00,360 --> 00:41:01,880
Speaker 7: takes a lot of effort, a lot of work to

886
00:41:01,880 --> 00:41:06,200
Speaker 7: do it. We're playing in close to forty races. We

887
00:41:06,280 --> 00:41:08,480
Speaker 7: have incumbents who are in tight reelects, but they should

888
00:41:08,480 --> 00:41:10,200
Speaker 7: be fine, and then we have these other seats that

889
00:41:10,239 --> 00:41:11,719
Speaker 7: we think we can flip, and I think this is

890
00:41:11,719 --> 00:41:12,560
Speaker 7: the year for us to do.

891
00:41:12,520 --> 00:41:13,800
Speaker 2: It, mister speaker.

892
00:41:14,000 --> 00:41:17,080
Speaker 4: You know, one of the big areas of concern for

893
00:41:17,239 --> 00:41:20,200
Speaker 4: our audience and for everybody I think who is paying

894
00:41:20,280 --> 00:41:23,279
Speaker 4: enough attention to it is the national debt. Right we're

895
00:41:23,280 --> 00:41:25,879
Speaker 4: at about thirty four trillion and change. Maybe it's already

896
00:41:25,920 --> 00:41:26,920
Speaker 4: hit thirty five trillion.

897
00:41:26,920 --> 00:41:28,160
Speaker 2: I got to keep it. It's very close.

898
00:41:28,280 --> 00:41:31,600
Speaker 4: It's very close thirty five trillion. That's a lot of money.

899
00:41:31,920 --> 00:41:35,040
Speaker 4: We all know that government is spending, not just a

900
00:41:35,040 --> 00:41:39,040
Speaker 4: lot of money, but too much money. I know that

901
00:41:39,080 --> 00:41:42,359
Speaker 4: we're always limited to the possible in politics, but if

902
00:41:42,400 --> 00:41:46,160
Speaker 4: you have a House majority, certainly spend. With a Senate

903
00:41:46,200 --> 00:41:50,080
Speaker 4: and Trump presidency, spending is a place where you can

904
00:41:50,120 --> 00:41:53,919
Speaker 4: really get things done. Where are the priorities for either

905
00:41:54,040 --> 00:41:56,879
Speaker 4: additional spending and also where would you look or how

906
00:41:56,920 --> 00:41:59,640
Speaker 4: would you look to begin to rein in what is

907
00:41:59,719 --> 00:42:01,880
Speaker 4: clear and out of control debt. I don't think anybody

908
00:42:01,880 --> 00:42:02,759
Speaker 4: can disagree with that.

909
00:42:02,880 --> 00:42:06,040
Speaker 7: It's not a sustainable trajectory. And that means the greatest

910
00:42:06,120 --> 00:42:08,719
Speaker 7: national security threat is not China, Rush AIRN, or North Korea,

911
00:42:08,760 --> 00:42:10,680
Speaker 7: it's the debt. I mean, that's what the Pentagon will

912
00:42:10,680 --> 00:42:12,880
Speaker 7: tell you that we all know intuitively we have to

913
00:42:12,920 --> 00:42:15,960
Speaker 7: fix this. The way to do it is to use

914
00:42:16,000 --> 00:42:18,440
Speaker 7: that word you just said, priorities. Right, we have to

915
00:42:18,480 --> 00:42:21,000
Speaker 7: prioritize national defense right now because we're in the most

916
00:42:21,040 --> 00:42:24,120
Speaker 7: dangerous air since World War Two domestically and of course

917
00:42:24,120 --> 00:42:26,759
Speaker 7: internationally because the weakness that Biden has put on the

918
00:42:26,800 --> 00:42:27,520
Speaker 7: world stage.

919
00:42:27,719 --> 00:42:29,000
Speaker 2: So you have to do that.

920
00:42:29,080 --> 00:42:31,160
Speaker 7: First, you got to secure the border, you got to

921
00:42:31,160 --> 00:42:33,200
Speaker 7: take care of your country. But then also you look

922
00:42:33,200 --> 00:42:37,200
Speaker 7: at a combination of spending cuts, tax cuts. At the

923
00:42:37,239 --> 00:42:39,520
Speaker 7: same time, you have to juice the economy. The way

924
00:42:39,560 --> 00:42:42,520
Speaker 7: you do that is to reduce the regulatory burden and

925
00:42:42,560 --> 00:42:45,279
Speaker 7: you reduce the tax burden on the people who are

926
00:42:45,320 --> 00:42:48,239
Speaker 7: the job creators, the innovators, and the risk takers those

927
00:42:48,239 --> 00:42:49,640
Speaker 7: in the economy to get the economy going.

928
00:42:49,640 --> 00:42:50,360
Speaker 2: We did this already.

929
00:42:50,400 --> 00:42:52,719
Speaker 7: Remember after the first two years the Trump administration, we

930
00:42:52,800 --> 00:42:54,400
Speaker 7: have the greatest economy in the history of the world,

931
00:42:54,440 --> 00:42:57,040
Speaker 7: not just the US because we implemented those policies.

932
00:42:57,080 --> 00:42:57,920
Speaker 2: Will get right back to it.

933
00:42:57,920 --> 00:43:00,680
Speaker 7: So you have to have a pro growth agenda and

934
00:43:00,719 --> 00:43:02,879
Speaker 7: you have to cut spending at the same time. It's

935
00:43:02,920 --> 00:43:05,680
Speaker 7: not only possible, it's necessary. Now we have to do it.

936
00:43:05,800 --> 00:43:07,920
Speaker 3: By the grace of God, President Trump is okay, and

937
00:43:07,920 --> 00:43:10,759
Speaker 3: we're going to be able to watch him speak tonight Saturday.

938
00:43:11,200 --> 00:43:14,560
Speaker 3: I think everyone out there's heart stopped watching what occurred.

939
00:43:15,280 --> 00:43:15,880
Speaker 2: Where were you.

940
00:43:15,960 --> 00:43:19,160
Speaker 3: I'm curious on your experience that day because you're just

941
00:43:19,200 --> 00:43:22,279
Speaker 3: a few steps away from being president right now with

942
00:43:22,320 --> 00:43:24,480
Speaker 3: what's going on with Biden and Kamala in the succession.

943
00:43:24,840 --> 00:43:28,160
Speaker 3: But also, how in the world does the Secret Service

944
00:43:28,360 --> 00:43:29,719
Speaker 3: head still have her job?

945
00:43:30,080 --> 00:43:30,880
Speaker 2: Can you believe?

946
00:43:30,920 --> 00:43:32,920
Speaker 3: As more of these details have come out that she

947
00:43:33,040 --> 00:43:33,880
Speaker 3: is still employed.

948
00:43:34,080 --> 00:43:37,279
Speaker 7: Let me address the second part first. It's absolutely outrageous.

949
00:43:37,320 --> 00:43:40,040
Speaker 7: I called for the resignation of the Secret Service Director

950
00:43:40,120 --> 00:43:43,080
Speaker 7: Cheetle yesterday and today I called the White House and

951
00:43:43,120 --> 00:43:45,680
Speaker 7: I told President Biden through his people, they won't let

952
00:43:45,680 --> 00:43:46,520
Speaker 7: me talk to him today.

953
00:43:46,640 --> 00:43:49,719
Speaker 2: I can't can't imagine why that he should fire her.

954
00:43:49,719 --> 00:43:52,040
Speaker 2: He needs to the bucks stops ultimately on he's the response.

955
00:43:52,080 --> 00:43:53,640
Speaker 3: By the way, when you call the White House and

956
00:43:53,680 --> 00:43:55,839
Speaker 3: you say she's clearly not going to do the right

957
00:43:55,840 --> 00:43:58,680
Speaker 3: thing and resign, Biden won't fire anybody. But you call

958
00:43:58,760 --> 00:44:01,120
Speaker 3: the White House and you say she has to be fired.

959
00:44:01,120 --> 00:44:03,040
Speaker 3: You're not talking to Biden himself. What do they say?

960
00:44:03,320 --> 00:44:05,240
Speaker 7: I say, you need to communicate this to the president

961
00:44:05,360 --> 00:44:07,040
Speaker 7: on behalf of the Speaker of the House. I call

962
00:44:07,080 --> 00:44:09,160
Speaker 7: you into good faith, I always do. I think this

963
00:44:09,160 --> 00:44:10,719
Speaker 7: would be good for him politically.

964
00:44:10,760 --> 00:44:11,400
Speaker 2: I agree.

965
00:44:13,040 --> 00:44:15,800
Speaker 4: Whift on that, and he Whift on a real message

966
00:44:15,800 --> 00:44:19,200
Speaker 4: of unity and Americanism. Right after the shooting, I don't

967
00:44:19,239 --> 00:44:21,839
Speaker 4: know if this was an assassination. It's outrageous.

968
00:44:21,880 --> 00:44:25,000
Speaker 3: You probably would have the same perspective if a bullet

969
00:44:25,000 --> 00:44:26,080
Speaker 3: had buzzed Biden's hit.

970
00:44:26,120 --> 00:44:27,600
Speaker 2: It's a failure of the Secret Service.

971
00:44:27,640 --> 00:44:30,560
Speaker 7: No matter who the person, non partisan issue there must be.

972
00:44:31,040 --> 00:44:32,959
Speaker 7: And to that point, I've set up a task force.

973
00:44:32,960 --> 00:44:35,960
Speaker 7: It will be bipartisan. We're going to strike with precision

974
00:44:35,960 --> 00:44:37,400
Speaker 7: and get this done and get the facts of the

975
00:44:37,440 --> 00:44:41,120
Speaker 7: American people. We have to because conspiracy theories are flurishing

976
00:44:41,200 --> 00:44:41,560
Speaker 7: right now.

977
00:44:41,440 --> 00:44:41,840
Speaker 5: No doubt.

978
00:44:41,880 --> 00:44:44,319
Speaker 4: Now, I know you perhaps don't want to tip your

979
00:44:44,320 --> 00:44:46,920
Speaker 4: hand to the other side here, but I am curious to.

980
00:44:46,880 --> 00:44:49,960
Speaker 2: The degree you are comfortable willing to speak to it.

981
00:44:51,080 --> 00:44:56,640
Speaker 4: What's better for the Democrats in these tight house races,

982
00:44:56,640 --> 00:44:58,040
Speaker 4: Biden stays.

983
00:44:58,480 --> 00:45:02,319
Speaker 7: Biden goes, I think at this point they're looking at

984
00:45:02,360 --> 00:45:04,839
Speaker 7: the same odds you are at Vegas. I think they're

985
00:45:04,880 --> 00:45:06,720
Speaker 7: ready for him to go because it has a terrible

986
00:45:06,760 --> 00:45:09,600
Speaker 7: down ballid effect. There won't be as a big of

987
00:45:09,640 --> 00:45:13,919
Speaker 7: a turnout on their side. They're terrified about that, and

988
00:45:14,600 --> 00:45:16,839
Speaker 7: I think that they're just they don't know what to do.

989
00:45:16,920 --> 00:45:19,359
Speaker 7: I mean, guys, it was such an interesting phenomenon on

990
00:45:19,440 --> 00:45:22,719
Speaker 7: Capitol Hill last week. I had two whole days unimpeded

991
00:45:22,719 --> 00:45:25,239
Speaker 7: where I could walk through the hallways without being accosted

992
00:45:25,239 --> 00:45:28,279
Speaker 7: by media sticking microphones and cameras in my face, where

993
00:45:28,320 --> 00:45:30,399
Speaker 7: are they Oh, they're chasing the Democrats for a chance.

994
00:45:30,480 --> 00:45:32,920
Speaker 7: They had to introduce themselves to our Democrat colleagues. They

995
00:45:32,960 --> 00:45:35,439
Speaker 7: never asked them tough questions. I called Hakkem Jeffreys, my friend,

996
00:45:35,440 --> 00:45:37,080
Speaker 7: a Democrat leader. I said, how's it feel?

997
00:45:37,120 --> 00:45:39,200
Speaker 2: Bro? You know, so I got a little reprieve.

998
00:45:39,239 --> 00:45:42,280
Speaker 7: We kind of like this, but look, it's a serious problem,

999
00:45:42,400 --> 00:45:44,360
Speaker 7: and that's why they're in such panic. They do not

1000
00:45:44,600 --> 00:45:47,160
Speaker 7: know they don't have a viable plan B. They run

1001
00:45:47,239 --> 00:45:50,160
Speaker 7: Kamala and whomever she puts on that ticket. We like

1002
00:45:50,200 --> 00:45:50,960
Speaker 7: those odds too.

1003
00:45:51,760 --> 00:45:54,319
Speaker 3: So I asked the question, I'm glad that you have

1004
00:45:54,400 --> 00:45:57,280
Speaker 3: called the White House and said the Secret Service director

1005
00:45:57,320 --> 00:45:59,799
Speaker 3: has to be gone. Where were you Saturday? And what

1006
00:46:00,160 --> 00:46:02,279
Speaker 3: your reaction to what you have seen come out?

1007
00:46:02,320 --> 00:46:04,719
Speaker 7: Since I had a rare sanity, I was actually home

1008
00:46:04,760 --> 00:46:06,799
Speaker 7: in Louisiana. We were preparing for this because I was

1009
00:46:06,840 --> 00:46:08,680
Speaker 7: cheering the convention. I'm going through the notes. We have

1010
00:46:08,760 --> 00:46:10,480
Speaker 7: that on in the background, and I've been to some

1011
00:46:10,520 --> 00:46:11,640
Speaker 7: of these rallies as y'all have.

1012
00:46:11,680 --> 00:46:12,520
Speaker 2: You know, I know the speech.

1013
00:46:12,560 --> 00:46:15,719
Speaker 7: But one of my kids gasps, is said dad, and

1014
00:46:15,760 --> 00:46:17,359
Speaker 7: we looked up and it happened, and we stood there

1015
00:46:17,400 --> 00:46:19,200
Speaker 7: frozen in the living room for twenty minutes. As soon

1016
00:46:19,239 --> 00:46:22,719
Speaker 7: as we realized that he was okay, I immediately thought

1017
00:46:22,760 --> 00:46:25,400
Speaker 7: of the story of George Washington, the bulletproof President, we.

1018
00:46:25,440 --> 00:46:25,960
Speaker 2: Used to call it.

1019
00:46:26,080 --> 00:46:27,879
Speaker 3: Carson came on and told me to talk about it

1020
00:46:28,160 --> 00:46:29,320
Speaker 3: was I was talking with him about that.

1021
00:46:29,840 --> 00:46:32,439
Speaker 7: It's remarkable and the thing is, and I told DoD

1022
00:46:32,480 --> 00:46:34,080
Speaker 7: Carson this. You know, if you go back and look

1023
00:46:34,080 --> 00:46:36,960
Speaker 7: at the story, it happened less than fifty miles from

1024
00:46:36,960 --> 00:46:41,239
Speaker 7: where Donald Trump was. His assassination was attempted also in July,

1025
00:46:41,360 --> 00:46:44,160
Speaker 7: also in Pennsylvania. I mean, you could say that's coincidence.

1026
00:46:44,239 --> 00:46:46,560
Speaker 7: I say it's providence. And I think I think President

1027
00:46:46,560 --> 00:46:49,040
Speaker 7: Trump is thinking about it the same way. His head

1028
00:46:49,080 --> 00:46:51,560
Speaker 7: and his heart are in exactly where we would want

1029
00:46:51,600 --> 00:46:53,480
Speaker 7: them to be right now. And I think the speech

1030
00:46:53,520 --> 00:46:54,480
Speaker 7: tonight's going to be epic.

1031
00:46:55,000 --> 00:46:57,160
Speaker 4: Well, we're looking forward to it as well, mister speaker.

1032
00:46:57,160 --> 00:46:59,200
Speaker 4: Appreciate you making the time for us here.

1033
00:47:00,200 --> 00:47:00,440
Speaker 2: It is.

1034
00:47:00,600 --> 00:47:02,680
Speaker 4: It's a blessed week. You know, it's been great for

1035
00:47:02,760 --> 00:47:04,680
Speaker 4: an R and C. But it actually actually has just

1036
00:47:04,719 --> 00:47:08,320
Speaker 4: been great for the country too. That we all dodged

1037
00:47:08,320 --> 00:47:10,520
Speaker 4: a bullet in a sense, we did as a nation.

1038
00:47:10,760 --> 00:47:13,640
Speaker 2: It's not an overstatement. And you hear two major themes here.

1039
00:47:13,800 --> 00:47:15,799
Speaker 7: Unity is the main theme, and we feel that and

1040
00:47:15,840 --> 00:47:17,640
Speaker 7: it's electric and you can feel it. You feel it

1041
00:47:17,640 --> 00:47:20,120
Speaker 7: out in the country right now, in our party and beyond,

1042
00:47:20,280 --> 00:47:22,520
Speaker 7: but also providence, both of those things. And it's a

1043
00:47:22,600 --> 00:47:24,520
Speaker 7: really important time to be an American and a great

1044
00:47:24,520 --> 00:47:25,360
Speaker 7: time to be a Republican.

1045
00:47:25,360 --> 00:47:27,239
Speaker 4: Misspeaker, Please come back again soon. We're gonna have a

1046
00:47:27,239 --> 00:47:29,400
Speaker 4: lot of talking about here with the upcoming house battle,

1047
00:47:29,400 --> 00:47:31,680
Speaker 4: because we think that that's where.

1048
00:47:31,520 --> 00:47:34,719
Speaker 2: The money's going, right, the real right. Keep praying, we'll

1049
00:47:34,800 --> 00:47:36,640
Speaker 2: keep working. Got to stay on that one.
