We like to do this, make the final case. 12 00:00:40,159 --> 00:00:43,320 Speaker 1: There's a bunch of good folks, bunch of good candidates 13 00:00:43,479 --> 00:00:45,600 Speaker 1: in some of these primary races, and so we just 14 00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:47,400 Speaker 1: want to let you hear from them. We have a 15 00:00:47,400 --> 00:00:49,879 Speaker 1: lot of people listening all across New York State and 16 00:00:49,960 --> 00:00:52,760 Speaker 1: certainly here in the New York City area on wo 17 00:00:53,200 --> 00:00:56,440 Speaker 1: R so wanted to let you hear from them before 18 00:00:56,520 --> 00:00:59,240 Speaker 1: you're going out there to going out there to vote. Now, 19 00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:04,679 Speaker 1: we also have some interesting indicators. I'm not saying Clay 20 00:01:04,880 --> 00:01:07,199 Speaker 1: is well actually no, I do call him the Nashville 21 00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:10,920 Speaker 1: Notes for Damas, but it's gonna say, you know, is 22 00:01:10,959 --> 00:01:14,039 Speaker 1: someone listening maybe, or is someone thinking that they're gonna 23 00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:19,520 Speaker 1: follow some of Clay's political inclinations, because yesterday we talk 24 00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:23,000 Speaker 1: about is Gavin Newsom starting to sniff around a little bit, 25 00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:28,200 Speaker 1: and then later on we see that Gavin Newsom is 26 00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:32,600 Speaker 1: placing advise the governor California in some places that doesn't 27 00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:34,920 Speaker 1: seem like what you'd do if you were really just 28 00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:38,760 Speaker 1: all focused in on just being the governor California. Clay 29 00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:41,000 Speaker 1: will lead us into that one later on. Good call, sir, 30 00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:44,440 Speaker 1: Good call is always are so good, good thinking. And 31 00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:49,560 Speaker 1: then there's also the possibilities of Republican pickups in places 32 00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:54,640 Speaker 1: like Washington State, Colorado. Alarm bells are ringing for the Democrats. 33 00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:57,200 Speaker 1: We'll dive into all that politics. We've got some great 34 00:01:57,200 --> 00:02:00,080 Speaker 1: guests running. Oh and well this will tie in to 35 00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:03,360 Speaker 1: what we're about to discuss. The Governor of Texas, Greg Abbott, 36 00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:06,400 Speaker 1: will be with us at the top of the next hour, 37 00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:10,240 Speaker 1: and there's a lot obviously to discuss with the governor, 38 00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:14,880 Speaker 1: but we'll dive into all the politics going on, but 39 00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:19,880 Speaker 1: also the security situation and the realities of our southern border, 40 00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:26,480 Speaker 1: which brings me to this absolutely heartbreaking story of fifty 41 00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:33,239 Speaker 1: migrants found dead in a tractor trailer near San Antonio, Texas. 42 00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:36,000 Speaker 1: There are others as I speak to you now, who 43 00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:41,520 Speaker 1: are I believe in very serious condition, not clear what 44 00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:43,880 Speaker 1: the outcome will be in the hospital. There are there 45 00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:47,079 Speaker 1: are children who were a part of this human trafficking 46 00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:52,480 Speaker 1: as well. And fifty dead in this tractor trailer died 47 00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:57,320 Speaker 1: from from heat and lack of lack of oxygen and 48 00:02:57,360 --> 00:03:01,640 Speaker 1: overheating inside the trailer. A horrible, horrible situation. Now the 49 00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:05,240 Speaker 1: whole country is looking to saying how can this, how 50 00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:08,560 Speaker 1: can this occur? What is happening here now? Clay, I 51 00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:12,480 Speaker 1: think it's always important that we're very We're very clear, 52 00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:14,880 Speaker 1: and very fair and very honest in these situations. We 53 00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:16,960 Speaker 1: don't do what the Democrats do, where you just you 54 00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:20,919 Speaker 1: say I don't like this person or this politician or whatever, 55 00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:23,200 Speaker 1: so I'm going to just blame everything that happens in 56 00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:26,680 Speaker 1: the world that I don't like on him. The cartels 57 00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:33,280 Speaker 1: are first and foremost responsible for this. However, the Biden 58 00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:38,560 Speaker 1: administrations continued fast and refusal to do what is necessary 59 00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:42,760 Speaker 1: to change the incentive structure for people to cross illegally 60 00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:48,360 Speaker 1: does contribute to exactly what we are seeing with all 61 00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:51,520 Speaker 1: the fentyel flooding in, all the methamphetamine flooding in, and 62 00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:55,640 Speaker 1: now this horrific tragedy of fifty dead in one incident 63 00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:59,360 Speaker 1: of human trafficking. You know, it's touching everywhere. Buck, I'm 64 00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:01,320 Speaker 1: down in Panama City Beach and I was reading the 65 00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:05,720 Speaker 1: local newspaper here and they just busted a guy who 66 00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:09,280 Speaker 1: had enough fentnol in his home. They said to kill 67 00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:13,080 Speaker 1: every single person in Panama City Beach. That's how much 68 00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:15,960 Speaker 1: he had there. And where did that come from? It 69 00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:21,200 Speaker 1: came across our undefended effectively southern border. And when I 70 00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:26,520 Speaker 1: saw this news come out, my immediate thought was, this 71 00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:29,480 Speaker 1: is what happens when you have put in in an 72 00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:33,760 Speaker 1: incentive structure that suggests that people can get across the 73 00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:37,960 Speaker 1: border without major issues. And we see this happen all 74 00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:39,560 Speaker 1: the time. Block How long ago was it we were 75 00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:43,360 Speaker 1: talking about the brave border patrol agent who died trying 76 00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:47,680 Speaker 1: to save people crossing the river to get into Texas. 77 00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:50,680 Speaker 1: It feels like that was like a month ago. And 78 00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:55,280 Speaker 1: there are constant deaths taking place every single day. We 79 00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:59,120 Speaker 1: know that many people in Latin America and in Mexico 80 00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:02,800 Speaker 1: believe that the best route to get to America is 81 00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:05,719 Speaker 1: through the southern border, to such an extent that Ukrainians 82 00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:09,560 Speaker 1: have traveled to Mexico to be able to cross into 83 00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:12,160 Speaker 1: the United States. People are coming from all over the 84 00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:16,800 Speaker 1: world because the message is out. Joe Biden doesn't believe 85 00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:19,479 Speaker 1: there should really be any border security at all. And 86 00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:23,280 Speaker 1: the only time we ever even hear any discussion about 87 00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:26,560 Speaker 1: the border at all is when a tragedy or crisis 88 00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:30,240 Speaker 1: like this happens. It should be a moment of reflection, 89 00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:35,520 Speaker 1: a moment of acknowledgement, and a recognition that everything is 90 00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:39,520 Speaker 1: wrong among our political class. But what will happen is 91 00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:42,640 Speaker 1: there will be a short lived amount of attention on 92 00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:46,200 Speaker 1: this and then everybody will move on and the border 93 00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:49,120 Speaker 1: will cease to be an issue like it generally is 94 00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:52,600 Speaker 1: we care more. You hit this like six months ago, 95 00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:55,440 Speaker 1: and I think it's one percent true. Our media and 96 00:05:55,520 --> 00:05:58,720 Speaker 1: our politicians care more about the border in Ukraine than 97 00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:02,279 Speaker 1: they do the border in the United States. It's absolutely true. 98 00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:04,760 Speaker 1: Governor of Texas, as he said, we'll be joining us 99 00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:06,760 Speaker 1: in the next hour, so we clearly want to ask 100 00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:11,680 Speaker 1: him about this tragedy, but Texas Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick 101 00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:16,080 Speaker 1: was not holding back at all. He's furious about this situation, 102 00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:19,120 Speaker 1: and he's placing blame. This is more death on the 103 00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:22,440 Speaker 1: hands of the president. I can't think of anything worse 104 00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:26,919 Speaker 1: than these people in that eighteen wheel are suffocating the 105 00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:29,520 Speaker 1: heat going to one hundred and thirty degrees or more, 106 00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:33,520 Speaker 1: trying to climb out desperately, and they died. Culture of death, 107 00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:36,400 Speaker 1: whether it's fentnol that he allows to come over the 108 00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:39,360 Speaker 1: border because he has open borders that kills our teenagers, 109 00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:42,600 Speaker 1: whether it's these forty six people, and it may be 110 00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:45,719 Speaker 1: more those are in the hospital or very critical, and 111 00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:48,920 Speaker 1: the babies that we've talked about. If ever, this nation 112 00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:51,200 Speaker 1: needs to climb out of the darkness we are in 113 00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:53,520 Speaker 1: of the Biden administration. Now is the time that we 114 00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:57,120 Speaker 1: all should be on our knees and pray. Clay he's 115 00:06:57,160 --> 00:06:59,640 Speaker 1: calling out the Biden administration straight up. I mean, there 116 00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:04,680 Speaker 1: is policy blame here for what has been I think 117 00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:07,840 Speaker 1: the worst the southern border has really been in our 118 00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:10,840 Speaker 1: in certainly the last twenty or thirty years. I mean 119 00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:13,120 Speaker 1: the last twenty years, to be sure, and the Biden 120 00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:15,440 Speaker 1: administration doesn't want to stop it. I speak to people 121 00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:18,960 Speaker 1: down along the border who are Border Patrol members, and 122 00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:21,400 Speaker 1: by the way, they're terrified to speak to them. Not terrified, 123 00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:24,119 Speaker 1: but you know they're concerned about speaking to the media 124 00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:27,640 Speaker 1: because they're not allowed to. Somehow, on the Trump administration, 125 00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:30,680 Speaker 1: it was, oh, you want ride alongs, you want to 126 00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:33,960 Speaker 1: see what's going on, We got you, no problem. Now, 127 00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:37,880 Speaker 1: only very specific people, very designated individuals, who are part 128 00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:40,400 Speaker 1: of the Border Patrol Union can even do anything with 129 00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:44,320 Speaker 1: the media because they don't want people to see what's 130 00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:48,000 Speaker 1: going on. They tell us that the border is not open. 131 00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:50,520 Speaker 1: But if you spend any time down there, as I 132 00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:53,160 Speaker 1: have at multiple points along the border, and just in 133 00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:55,520 Speaker 1: the last couple of the last couple of years, you 134 00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:59,360 Speaker 1: can see during the Biden administration, Clay it's wide open. 135 00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:03,200 Speaker 1: You have masses of people walking up and saying, here 136 00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:06,040 Speaker 1: I am, and they all believe they're going to be 137 00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:08,560 Speaker 1: led into the country. They all believe they're going to 138 00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:11,320 Speaker 1: be able to stay, and they say it's because of 139 00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:16,640 Speaker 1: the Biden administration. Until that belief changes, tragedies will continue. 140 00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:19,800 Speaker 1: People will drown the Rio Grande, women will be assaulted 141 00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:25,920 Speaker 1: by the coyote cartel traffickers. They'll be horrific incidents like 142 00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:27,680 Speaker 1: this where you have a lot of people dying all 143 00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:30,640 Speaker 1: at once as part of a human smuggling operation. And 144 00:08:30,760 --> 00:08:34,920 Speaker 1: our communities, because border patrol has stretched so thin all 145 00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:37,400 Speaker 1: across the country, not just along the border in Chicago 146 00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:39,880 Speaker 1: and New York and Los Angeles, you name, it will 147 00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:43,880 Speaker 1: be filled with fentatl and meth and cocaine because we 148 00:08:44,040 --> 00:08:48,880 Speaker 1: can't actually stop any considerable amount of those drugs when 149 00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:52,560 Speaker 1: we have border patrol doing the humanitarian mission, which is 150 00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:55,560 Speaker 1: all day, all the time. It wasn't very long ago 151 00:08:55,679 --> 00:08:58,880 Speaker 1: that AOC dressed in all white and went to the 152 00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:03,160 Speaker 1: border and stood for those photo ops alongside the chain 153 00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:08,080 Speaker 1: link fence with her hand outstretched crying. Where is any 154 00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:14,199 Speaker 1: Democrat associated with this border disaster? Joe Biden could easily 155 00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:16,760 Speaker 1: get on a plane and fly to the border and 156 00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:21,200 Speaker 1: guarantee that this received coverage. He won't do it, however, 157 00:09:21,640 --> 00:09:25,079 Speaker 1: because as bad as things are with inflation and as 158 00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:28,240 Speaker 1: bad as things are with crime in this country, border 159 00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:32,520 Speaker 1: security is one thing that unites a huge majority of 160 00:09:32,559 --> 00:09:36,160 Speaker 1: the United States, and this is one that Biden has 161 00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:38,920 Speaker 1: failed on from the moment he basically came into office, 162 00:09:38,920 --> 00:09:41,000 Speaker 1: but because he's gone downhill on a lot of things, 163 00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:43,600 Speaker 1: he's been a disaster on the border since we saw 164 00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:46,360 Speaker 1: those people wearing Biden tshirts a month after he got 165 00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:48,320 Speaker 1: into office saying he wants us to come here and 166 00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:51,080 Speaker 1: come into the country. And this is where that twenty 167 00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:54,559 Speaker 1: to thirty percent of the Democrat Party, or maybe you 168 00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:57,920 Speaker 1: could say twenty to thirty percent overall of voters, depending 169 00:09:57,920 --> 00:10:00,800 Speaker 1: on how you want to gauge it, are the same 170 00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:04,000 Speaker 1: thing you see with energy. Why doesn't the Biden administration 171 00:10:04,040 --> 00:10:07,240 Speaker 1: can't be so stupid that they don't understand why energy 172 00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:08,920 Speaker 1: prices are high and what they could do to make 173 00:10:08,920 --> 00:10:12,080 Speaker 1: it better. But they still have John Carey going around 174 00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:15,440 Speaker 1: blubbering about green you know, the Green New Deal effectively 175 00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:17,800 Speaker 1: and solar And this is a great time of transition 176 00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:23,400 Speaker 1: because a dedicated and very well funded group within the 177 00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:26,160 Speaker 1: Democrat Party, not a small group, but still I'd say 178 00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:30,800 Speaker 1: probably a minority of Democrats care more about climate change 179 00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:33,559 Speaker 1: than they do about gas prices, because even Democrats care 180 00:10:33,679 --> 00:10:36,640 Speaker 1: about gas prices, but they're held hostage by that group. 181 00:10:36,920 --> 00:10:39,960 Speaker 1: Same thing on the border, certainly true nationwide, but I 182 00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:42,320 Speaker 1: think It's even true in the Democrat Party if you 183 00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:45,520 Speaker 1: look at it. Now, enough Democrats would say, I think 184 00:10:45,559 --> 00:10:47,440 Speaker 1: we got to tighten things up in the border, but 185 00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:51,720 Speaker 1: that twenty percent of the hardcore left, they're open border people. 186 00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:55,280 Speaker 1: They actually want this to be wide open, and Biden 187 00:10:55,400 --> 00:10:58,040 Speaker 1: will not cross them, not going into this election, not 188 00:10:58,120 --> 00:11:02,199 Speaker 1: going into any election. I'm curious how the political calculus 189 00:11:02,280 --> 00:11:05,520 Speaker 1: changes if Hispanic voters continue to break in a big 190 00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:09,960 Speaker 1: way for Republicans, because right now, Democrats in the back 191 00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:13,000 Speaker 1: of their mind think the more Hispanic voters in the 192 00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:16,840 Speaker 1: United States, the more likely our long range ability is 193 00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:21,960 Speaker 1: to win national elections if all of a sudden, as 194 00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:25,880 Speaker 1: we are seeing, Hispanic voters are breaking in favor of Republicans, 195 00:11:26,320 --> 00:11:28,760 Speaker 1: and those Hispanic voters are also saying we need a 196 00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:32,040 Speaker 1: more secure border because Buck, as you well know, they 197 00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:36,080 Speaker 1: understand oftentimes the power of these cartels and a government 198 00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:39,679 Speaker 1: that has been controlled by a cartels state more than anyone. 199 00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:42,960 Speaker 1: And what I have been hammering home for a long 200 00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:46,080 Speaker 1: time is the people who come across our southern border 201 00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:49,400 Speaker 1: are risking their lives to get here because they believe 202 00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:54,000 Speaker 1: in American exceptionalism. So the message that Democrats are selling 203 00:11:54,280 --> 00:11:57,040 Speaker 1: to people who are trying to come to America of 204 00:11:57,080 --> 00:12:00,559 Speaker 1: America's an awful racist place. Is the exact the opposite 205 00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:03,920 Speaker 1: of what everyone coming here believes. And it's why ultimately 206 00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:07,680 Speaker 1: I think Hispanics are breaking in such massive numbers. We're 207 00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:10,320 Speaker 1: seeing it of all places that the southern border in Texas. 208 00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:13,960 Speaker 1: We talked about Myra, Flora or As winning in the 209 00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:18,200 Speaker 1: Texas thirty four a hundred year. When it's happening everywhere 210 00:12:18,280 --> 00:12:20,480 Speaker 1: you see, it was interesting. Even Bill Maher on his 211 00:12:20,520 --> 00:12:24,199 Speaker 1: show said that for Hispanics who are in this country, 212 00:12:24,640 --> 00:12:28,200 Speaker 1: he says the government should be their lawyer, not the lawyer. 213 00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:31,040 Speaker 1: That these were his words, not the lawyer for the 214 00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:34,120 Speaker 1: illegals who just came across the border yesterday. But it 215 00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:36,800 Speaker 1: doesn't feel that way. It doesn't, especially for all the 216 00:12:37,520 --> 00:12:40,880 Speaker 1: members of the Hispanic community who came here legally or 217 00:12:40,880 --> 00:12:42,960 Speaker 1: the parents came here and they were born here. And 218 00:12:43,040 --> 00:12:46,559 Speaker 1: you know, there's a real shift in perception. I'm starting 219 00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:48,800 Speaker 1: to believe though that Look, Biden is not a leader. 220 00:12:48,840 --> 00:12:50,439 Speaker 1: He's never been. I know he's the president, but he's 221 00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:53,920 Speaker 1: not a leader. He follows whatever the Democrat Party trend 222 00:12:53,960 --> 00:12:58,400 Speaker 1: may be the only way that they will actually get 223 00:12:58,480 --> 00:13:01,080 Speaker 1: real on the border and secure it. Even a little bit, 224 00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:02,960 Speaker 1: not a lot, even a little bit. Is if there's 225 00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:08,040 Speaker 1: a total annihilation of Democrats at the polls this midterm, 226 00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:10,040 Speaker 1: and even then it will just be this. It'll be 227 00:13:10,400 --> 00:13:13,560 Speaker 1: a little bit of a recalibration. But they're on They're 228 00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:16,320 Speaker 1: on a freight train with no breaks right now, my friend, 229 00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:20,319 Speaker 1: They do not care within the within the party apparatus, 230 00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:22,920 Speaker 1: how this looks, what the numbers are of people coming 231 00:13:22,920 --> 00:13:25,360 Speaker 1: in illegally every month. The only thing that changes it 232 00:13:25,400 --> 00:13:28,440 Speaker 1: is if they lose, and it's going to be a 233 00:13:28,559 --> 00:13:31,199 Speaker 1: beat down of epic proportions, I really do believe. Is 234 00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:33,280 Speaker 1: we're almost four months out. Yeah we got We're gonna 235 00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:36,160 Speaker 1: stay focused on it. You know, I run all of 236 00:13:36,240 --> 00:13:38,640 Speaker 1: my day to day comms for this show, and obviously 237 00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:41,400 Speaker 1: talking to my family and friends through one phone. And 238 00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:43,439 Speaker 1: do you know what my provider is for that phone? 239 00:13:43,520 --> 00:13:46,520 Speaker 1: Pure Talk. I made this switch to pure Talk. I 240 00:13:46,640 --> 00:13:49,080 Speaker 1: rely on it for my cell phone service instead of 241 00:13:49,240 --> 00:13:51,720 Speaker 1: rising at and T or T Mobile because they were 242 00:13:51,840 --> 00:13:54,800 Speaker 1: charging me one of them a big premium every month 243 00:13:54,800 --> 00:13:57,880 Speaker 1: for stuff I wasn't even using. So instead of paying 244 00:13:58,160 --> 00:14:00,360 Speaker 1: I was playing about one hundred dollars a month. Pure 245 00:14:00,360 --> 00:14:02,560 Speaker 1: Talk has a plan that I'm on now twenty dollars 246 00:14:02,559 --> 00:14:05,000 Speaker 1: a month, Folks, twenty dollars a month for just the 247 00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:08,000 Speaker 1: services and data you actually need. When I made the 248 00:14:08,040 --> 00:14:10,160 Speaker 1: switch to pure Talk, I was nervous at first, thinking 249 00:14:10,480 --> 00:14:12,120 Speaker 1: is it really going to be as good as what 250 00:14:12,160 --> 00:14:14,240 Speaker 1: I'm used to in terms of five G connectivity because 251 00:14:14,360 --> 00:14:16,480 Speaker 1: my phone is so important to what I do every day. 252 00:14:16,559 --> 00:14:19,920 Speaker 1: Right the answer is yes. The five G nationwide service 253 00:14:20,080 --> 00:14:23,120 Speaker 1: is every bit is good. Honestly, it's so reliable. So 254 00:14:23,160 --> 00:14:24,800 Speaker 1: if you've been waiting for a great deal in your 255 00:14:24,800 --> 00:14:29,200 Speaker 1: cell phone service without sacrificing any quality in terms of connectivity, 256 00:14:29,480 --> 00:14:31,640 Speaker 1: now is the time switch to pure Talk. You can 257 00:14:31,720 --> 00:14:33,680 Speaker 1: keep your phone that you have in your hand right now, 258 00:14:34,160 --> 00:14:36,720 Speaker 1: or and rather keep your phone numbers so that doesn't 259 00:14:36,720 --> 00:14:39,200 Speaker 1: switch at all. The only thing that changes is the 260 00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:41,080 Speaker 1: name of the top left side of your phone screen. 261 00:14:41,200 --> 00:14:44,160 Speaker 1: Mine now says pure Talk and its service I can 262 00:14:44,200 --> 00:14:47,120 Speaker 1: rely on without being ripped off every month. Switch to 263 00:14:47,160 --> 00:14:49,360 Speaker 1: pure Talk and you'll get a month free. But you 264 00:14:49,440 --> 00:14:52,880 Speaker 1: have to dial pound two fifty and say Clay and Buck. 265 00:14:53,160 --> 00:14:56,320 Speaker 1: That's pound two five zero, say Clay and Buck with 266 00:14:56,360 --> 00:14:58,840 Speaker 1: pure talks, no risk, money back guarantee, you're not going 267 00:14:58,920 --> 00:15:02,280 Speaker 1: to regret this pound two five zero and say Clay 268 00:15:02,320 --> 00:15:06,800 Speaker 1: and Bucks sign up and get a month three Welcome 269 00:15:06,840 --> 00:15:10,080 Speaker 1: back in Clay Travis buck Sexton show again. We're gonna 270 00:15:10,080 --> 00:15:13,000 Speaker 1: be joined by the Governor of Texas, Greg Abbott at one. 271 00:15:13,200 --> 00:15:16,440 Speaker 1: He's also scheduled Buck in addition to the tragedy that 272 00:15:16,480 --> 00:15:19,280 Speaker 1: just happened at the border with all of the deaths 273 00:15:19,680 --> 00:15:23,320 Speaker 1: inside of that truck trying to come across smuggle people 274 00:15:23,320 --> 00:15:25,840 Speaker 1: across the border, He's also going to give us an 275 00:15:25,920 --> 00:15:30,960 Speaker 1: update on Yuval Day, which has obviously been a top 276 00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:35,000 Speaker 1: topic of consideration for so many of you out there 277 00:15:35,160 --> 00:15:39,280 Speaker 1: since the school shooting happened. The governor was initially furious 278 00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:42,840 Speaker 1: at reports that he had gotten about the actions that 279 00:15:42,880 --> 00:15:47,960 Speaker 1: were undertaken by police, and it increasingly feels Buck like 280 00:15:48,280 --> 00:15:53,720 Speaker 1: the on site police commander there is going to end 281 00:15:53,880 --> 00:15:59,480 Speaker 1: up as the fall guy for what was an indefensible response. 282 00:15:59,520 --> 00:16:02,560 Speaker 1: But I'm eager was he was he responsible? Though? Right? 283 00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:04,680 Speaker 1: I mean the fall guy makes it sound like, yeah, 284 00:16:04,960 --> 00:16:08,680 Speaker 1: I think the answer. Look, the response was unacceptable. Bottom. Yes, 285 00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:11,000 Speaker 1: everyone everyone now knows this. We have the data, we 286 00:16:11,040 --> 00:16:14,000 Speaker 1: have I mean it's unacceptable. Even even people with no 287 00:16:14,120 --> 00:16:18,280 Speaker 1: law enforcement or firearms training understand. You're here in gunfire 288 00:16:18,320 --> 00:16:20,320 Speaker 1: in a classroom with kids in it who are helpless. 289 00:16:20,360 --> 00:16:23,080 Speaker 1: We're defenseless who are losing their lives. You go in. 290 00:16:25,040 --> 00:16:27,200 Speaker 1: I mean that's the toughest part to me is all 291 00:16:27,240 --> 00:16:29,440 Speaker 1: of the calls from the kids and the teachers, including 292 00:16:29,480 --> 00:16:31,800 Speaker 1: one officer they took a gun from who was trying 293 00:16:31,800 --> 00:16:33,520 Speaker 1: to go in after his wife called to said she 294 00:16:33,600 --> 00:16:36,080 Speaker 1: was shot and bleeding out. So there does need to 295 00:16:36,120 --> 00:16:38,920 Speaker 1: be accountability. I mean, this is going to go down 296 00:16:39,720 --> 00:16:46,000 Speaker 1: along with the police response to Columbine. People would talk about, uh, 297 00:16:46,320 --> 00:16:48,760 Speaker 1: the FBI response at Waco. I mean, this was a 298 00:16:48,840 --> 00:16:52,200 Speaker 1: law enforcement failure. It was now there were some people 299 00:16:52,200 --> 00:16:53,800 Speaker 1: who did the right thing, who went in the board 300 00:16:53,840 --> 00:16:57,640 Speaker 1: tag team. It's not everyone there is responsible for the 301 00:16:57,720 --> 00:17:01,480 Speaker 1: law enforcement response being insufficient, but somebody was. And it 302 00:17:01,560 --> 00:17:06,240 Speaker 1: certainly seems like because the the first law enforcement agency 303 00:17:06,240 --> 00:17:09,600 Speaker 1: on the scene was local police, they had command, even 304 00:17:09,640 --> 00:17:12,840 Speaker 1: though there were other agencies and other units that showed up. 305 00:17:13,480 --> 00:17:16,960 Speaker 1: And you know the way this works is if you're 306 00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:20,240 Speaker 1: in charge, you get the blame when things go bad, 307 00:17:20,359 --> 00:17:23,600 Speaker 1: and in this case, I think that would be that's 308 00:17:23,640 --> 00:17:25,480 Speaker 1: the right outcome. I mean, I think that you probably 309 00:17:25,480 --> 00:17:28,160 Speaker 1: should have an officer, the commanding officer on the scene 310 00:17:28,480 --> 00:17:31,560 Speaker 1: loses job. Yeah, I think that's the way all this 311 00:17:31,640 --> 00:17:33,400 Speaker 1: is trending. So we're going to get an update from 312 00:17:33,400 --> 00:17:36,080 Speaker 1: that from the governor as well as the tragedies going 313 00:17:36,080 --> 00:17:38,399 Speaker 1: on in the border. Plus we'll ask him about the 314 00:17:38,440 --> 00:17:42,960 Speaker 1: continued shenanigans and look at me behavior from Veto that 315 00:17:43,080 --> 00:17:45,920 Speaker 1: does not seem to have moved the needle very much 316 00:17:45,960 --> 00:17:49,240 Speaker 1: at all as we move closer to the election that 317 00:17:49,280 --> 00:17:52,560 Speaker 1: has taken place down in Texas.

We've got a lot to 339 00:19:02,520 --> 00:19:08,119 Speaker 1: discuss with him. Updates on the biggest human smuggling tragedy 340 00:19:08,119 --> 00:19:12,359 Speaker 1: in terms of loss of life I believe in ever, 341 00:19:12,920 --> 00:19:17,000 Speaker 1: and then also updates on the investigation into the response 342 00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:19,320 Speaker 1: of the Uvalde shooting. So we've got to talk to 343 00:19:19,720 --> 00:19:22,119 Speaker 1: him about all of that. And then just about twenty 344 00:19:22,119 --> 00:19:24,040 Speaker 1: minutes from now, coming up in a little bit here, 345 00:19:24,040 --> 00:19:26,400 Speaker 1: we'll have a candidate for the governor of New York 346 00:19:26,520 --> 00:19:30,760 Speaker 1: Andrew Julie Yanni, and he's a friend of mine, friend 347 00:19:30,760 --> 00:19:32,480 Speaker 1: of Clay, so he'll be joining us here to talk 348 00:19:32,520 --> 00:19:35,359 Speaker 1: about why he thinks he should get the big job 349 00:19:35,440 --> 00:19:40,240 Speaker 1: for the umpire state. Hillary Clinton is still out there though, 350 00:19:40,920 --> 00:19:43,920 Speaker 1: and you know, we're talking a little bit about Gavin 351 00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:49,080 Speaker 1: Newsom and some of his possible aspirations, the unctious, get 352 00:19:49,560 --> 00:19:53,920 Speaker 1: unctious governor of California, who he's slick. I will give 353 00:19:53,960 --> 00:19:56,439 Speaker 1: him that, but look what he's done to that state. 354 00:19:56,680 --> 00:19:59,840 Speaker 1: I can't help but remember growing up in the eighties 355 00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:03,720 Speaker 1: and nineties in this country, and California was just the 356 00:20:03,840 --> 00:20:07,600 Speaker 1: Promised Land. Everything right. California was where everybody was having 357 00:20:07,640 --> 00:20:11,159 Speaker 1: the most fun. It was all these beautiful people getting 358 00:20:11,320 --> 00:20:14,159 Speaker 1: sunshine and love and life. I wanted to learn how 359 00:20:14,200 --> 00:20:16,639 Speaker 1: to surf. Gosh, surfing looks so danger When did you 360 00:20:16,680 --> 00:20:18,520 Speaker 1: go to California the first time as a kid? Do 361 00:20:18,520 --> 00:20:21,160 Speaker 1: you remember? Oh? Man, I can't. I can't even remember. 362 00:20:21,200 --> 00:20:23,879 Speaker 1: I mean, I honestly didn't spend really time. I just 363 00:20:24,119 --> 00:20:26,040 Speaker 1: I'm just talking about what you picked up from movies 364 00:20:26,080 --> 00:20:28,439 Speaker 1: in pop culture. I really spend noticing I'm the same 365 00:20:28,520 --> 00:20:30,320 Speaker 1: as you. I had never even been to the state 366 00:20:30,359 --> 00:20:33,760 Speaker 1: of California until I was in college. So I made 367 00:20:33,760 --> 00:20:35,840 Speaker 1: the trip out to California when I was in college, 368 00:20:35,960 --> 00:20:39,320 Speaker 1: and at that time it was the late nineties early 369 00:20:39,400 --> 00:20:42,119 Speaker 1: two thousands, that was right as the tech boom was 370 00:20:42,119 --> 00:20:45,360 Speaker 1: starting off in the Silicon Valley. At a roommate from 371 00:20:45,359 --> 00:20:48,240 Speaker 1: San Francisco. We had incredible time out there and I 372 00:20:48,280 --> 00:20:50,560 Speaker 1: was like, man, this place is amazing. And then I 373 00:20:50,640 --> 00:20:52,720 Speaker 1: worked and have spent a lot of time in La 374 00:20:52,880 --> 00:20:55,800 Speaker 1: probably the city that I've been in the second most 375 00:20:55,840 --> 00:20:58,920 Speaker 1: other than my hometown of Nashville, and it's just so 376 00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:01,960 Speaker 1: disappointing to see it all falling apart. Yeah, it's they've 377 00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:05,680 Speaker 1: destroyed the cities in California. San Diego still doing pretty well. 378 00:21:05,720 --> 00:21:07,200 Speaker 1: I've spent a fair amount of time out there, and 379 00:21:07,200 --> 00:21:10,560 Speaker 1: we've got a great audience at San Diego. But Los 380 00:21:10,600 --> 00:21:13,240 Speaker 1: Angeles San Francisco have just been driven into the ground 381 00:21:13,240 --> 00:21:15,680 Speaker 1: by bad Democrat policies, as we all know. Same thing 382 00:21:15,960 --> 00:21:18,120 Speaker 1: with the New York City. Although it feels like New York, 383 00:21:18,240 --> 00:21:20,080 Speaker 1: I don't know, is it starting to turn the corner. 384 00:21:20,119 --> 00:21:24,560 Speaker 1: We'll see. But Hillary Clinton, along with Gavin Newsom, are 385 00:21:24,600 --> 00:21:27,080 Speaker 1: getting talked about these days as a possible out of 386 00:21:27,119 --> 00:21:31,320 Speaker 1: nowhere candidate if Biden doesn't run, A lot of Democrats 387 00:21:31,359 --> 00:21:35,639 Speaker 1: are going on TV to say Biden really can't do this. Guys. Now, 388 00:21:36,280 --> 00:21:39,520 Speaker 1: I thought that was true two years ago, and they 389 00:21:39,520 --> 00:21:41,280 Speaker 1: still put this guy forward, and we all see what 390 00:21:41,320 --> 00:21:44,520 Speaker 1: the results have been. So who knows Democrats the good news? 391 00:21:44,520 --> 00:21:46,639 Speaker 1: But the Democrat Party is it has no integrity to 392 00:21:46,640 --> 00:21:48,920 Speaker 1: protect as an institution, so they'll do whatever they think 393 00:21:48,960 --> 00:21:53,239 Speaker 1: will work. Hillary Clinton, speaking of no integrity, had this 394 00:21:53,359 --> 00:21:58,480 Speaker 1: to say about Clarence Thomas, who is a national treasure 395 00:21:58,560 --> 00:22:03,120 Speaker 1: and a intellectual rule and jurisprudence hero for all constitution 396 00:22:03,200 --> 00:22:06,480 Speaker 1: loving Americans. I went to law school with him. He's 397 00:22:06,520 --> 00:22:10,040 Speaker 1: been a person of grievance for as long as I've 398 00:22:10,040 --> 00:22:16,199 Speaker 1: known him. Resentment, grievance, anger. And he has signaled in 399 00:22:16,280 --> 00:22:21,919 Speaker 1: the past two lower courts, two state legislatures that fine cases, 400 00:22:22,080 --> 00:22:25,760 Speaker 1: past laws, get them up. I may not win the first, 401 00:22:25,760 --> 00:22:28,040 Speaker 1: the second, or the third time, but we're going to 402 00:22:28,160 --> 00:22:31,159 Speaker 1: keep at it. So you're saying, people pay attention to yea. 403 00:22:31,280 --> 00:22:34,520 Speaker 1: So people he is speaking to, which A is the 404 00:22:34,600 --> 00:22:39,520 Speaker 1: right wing, very conservative judges and justices and state legislatures. 405 00:22:40,400 --> 00:22:43,480 Speaker 1: And the thing that is, well, there's so many things 406 00:22:43,520 --> 00:22:46,879 Speaker 1: about it that are deeply distressing. But women are going 407 00:22:46,920 --> 00:22:51,440 Speaker 1: to die, Gail, women will die, I mean less babies 408 00:22:51,600 --> 00:22:54,119 Speaker 1: will die. As the whole point of what the Supreme 409 00:22:54,200 --> 00:22:58,160 Speaker 1: Court law will actually do in the aggregate few where 410 00:22:58,200 --> 00:23:02,120 Speaker 1: I should say, but Clay, she's horrible. I mean, honestly, 411 00:23:02,680 --> 00:23:05,240 Speaker 1: I don't think it's fair, first of all, to go 412 00:23:05,320 --> 00:23:08,120 Speaker 1: back it's been fifty years since they were in law 413 00:23:08,160 --> 00:23:15,200 Speaker 1: school and they weren't even in that part is ridiculous. 414 00:23:15,240 --> 00:23:21,119 Speaker 1: And what the takeaway Clarence Thomas is jurisprudence. He is, 415 00:23:21,400 --> 00:23:26,480 Speaker 1: I believe, the most beloved Supreme Court justice inside of 416 00:23:26,520 --> 00:23:31,080 Speaker 1: the Supreme Court almost there's ever been. He knows every employee, 417 00:23:31,640 --> 00:23:35,440 Speaker 1: even the liberal justices. I think it was Sodomyor who 418 00:23:35,480 --> 00:23:39,240 Speaker 1: just came out buck and said that Clarence Thomas was 419 00:23:39,280 --> 00:23:43,960 Speaker 1: an incredible guy inside of the Supreme Court. So when 420 00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:47,880 Speaker 1: you actually hear people who know Clarence Thomas, his clerks, 421 00:23:48,280 --> 00:23:50,640 Speaker 1: the people who work inside of the Supreme Court, whether 422 00:23:50,680 --> 00:23:53,720 Speaker 1: you're the janitor or whether you're a fellow Supreme Court 423 00:23:53,800 --> 00:23:58,480 Speaker 1: justice with him, he's beloved as an unbelievably likable guy. 424 00:23:58,840 --> 00:24:01,239 Speaker 1: And so going back fifty years ago, and saying he 425 00:24:01,400 --> 00:24:04,680 Speaker 1: is filled with grievance. Clarence Thomas was, by the way, 426 00:24:04,760 --> 00:24:09,840 Speaker 1: not even a conservative for much of his college years. 427 00:24:09,840 --> 00:24:11,879 Speaker 1: It wasn't until I believe he got into law school 428 00:24:11,880 --> 00:24:15,360 Speaker 1: that he really started to develop his own philosophy on 429 00:24:15,560 --> 00:24:21,280 Speaker 1: judicial processes. And so this is all just it's trumped 430 00:24:21,359 --> 00:24:24,440 Speaker 1: up bs from Hillary Clinton, who does feel like buck 431 00:24:24,480 --> 00:24:27,960 Speaker 1: to me. She's angling to be back in the discussion 432 00:24:27,960 --> 00:24:31,200 Speaker 1: in a big way as Biden becomes increasingly incompetent. It's 433 00:24:31,240 --> 00:24:35,240 Speaker 1: also just so dishonest the way they discount I mean, 434 00:24:35,280 --> 00:24:38,840 Speaker 1: Clarence Thomas's personal story for anybody who doesn't know if 435 00:24:38,840 --> 00:24:44,440 Speaker 1: you want to talk about someone who overcame hurdles, real 436 00:24:44,520 --> 00:24:49,639 Speaker 1: hurdles and poverty and disadvantages early on in life to 437 00:24:49,720 --> 00:24:54,400 Speaker 1: become a giant of the Supreme Court and of American jurisprudence. 438 00:24:54,800 --> 00:24:56,840 Speaker 1: Clarence Thomas, as far as Ederson, he grew up in 439 00:24:56,840 --> 00:25:00,880 Speaker 1: a house with dirt floors. He grew up seeking a 440 00:25:00,960 --> 00:25:05,040 Speaker 1: kind of a local dialect in a community near Savannah 441 00:25:05,080 --> 00:25:07,000 Speaker 1: that I forget the name of it, but it was 442 00:25:07,359 --> 00:25:11,160 Speaker 1: known to be founded by former, you know, freed slaves 443 00:25:11,200 --> 00:25:15,240 Speaker 1: after the Civil War and came from tremendous poverty. You know, 444 00:25:15,280 --> 00:25:19,960 Speaker 1: he wasn't. He wasn't the son of university professors who 445 00:25:20,040 --> 00:25:24,320 Speaker 1: raised him in Palo Alto or Cambridge, Massachusetts. He's a 446 00:25:24,359 --> 00:25:27,760 Speaker 1: guy who did it all on his own, built it all, 447 00:25:28,200 --> 00:25:31,679 Speaker 1: and is honestly I mean, his pen I think is 448 00:25:31,680 --> 00:25:35,359 Speaker 1: the mightiest along with Alito, of any of the justices. 449 00:25:36,040 --> 00:25:39,680 Speaker 1: He's getting attacked. It seems to me there were five 450 00:25:39,800 --> 00:25:44,560 Speaker 1: justices in the majority. He's getting attacked on a different level, 451 00:25:44,720 --> 00:25:47,960 Speaker 1: and he has been for much of his career. Because 452 00:25:48,760 --> 00:25:53,520 Speaker 1: the message needs to be sent from Democrats you can't 453 00:25:53,560 --> 00:25:56,920 Speaker 1: be black and be conservative. That's the message that they 454 00:25:56,960 --> 00:25:59,000 Speaker 1: tried to look I mean the attacks that come out. 455 00:25:59,040 --> 00:26:04,040 Speaker 1: You heard Lorie Light yesterday saying f Clarence Thomas what 456 00:26:04,160 --> 00:26:06,240 Speaker 1: Joe Biden said when he was running, which was which 457 00:26:06,280 --> 00:26:12,040 Speaker 1: was absurd. Yes, you just heard Hillary. These Democrats are 458 00:26:12,080 --> 00:26:17,360 Speaker 1: aware that their entire political party collapses if twenty five 459 00:26:17,400 --> 00:26:21,200 Speaker 1: percent of black voters ever voted Republican, or voted libertarian 460 00:26:21,280 --> 00:26:25,320 Speaker 1: or voted Green Party just weren't voting Democrat. And so 461 00:26:25,720 --> 00:26:30,280 Speaker 1: anyone who threatens that political power gets attacked in a 462 00:26:30,440 --> 00:26:33,520 Speaker 1: much more noxious fashion than anyone else. And that's certainly 463 00:26:33,600 --> 00:26:35,480 Speaker 1: what we're seeing happen in Clarence Thomas right now. We 464 00:26:35,560 --> 00:26:37,920 Speaker 1: gotta endew Giuliani up next, stick around for us. He's 465 00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:40,920 Speaker 1: running for governor of New York. Folks.

She survived by three children, including a 473 00:27:02,160 --> 00:27:04,560 Speaker 1: daughter who's twenty years old and has now become the 474 00:27:04,600 --> 00:27:07,760 Speaker 1: sole guardian of her two younger twin siblings. Think about 475 00:27:07,760 --> 00:27:10,080 Speaker 1: that she went from big sister to provide her in 476 00:27:10,119 --> 00:27:12,840 Speaker 1: an instant, all while dealing with the immense grief of 477 00:27:12,880 --> 00:27:15,879 Speaker 1: having lost her mother.

Finishing off our number one primary 487 00:27:45,119 --> 00:27:48,760 Speaker 1: day in many different states across the country as we 488 00:27:48,800 --> 00:27:51,080 Speaker 1: continue to move towards what we believe will be a 489 00:27:51,200 --> 00:27:55,400 Speaker 1: red tsunami in November, about four months from now, New 490 00:27:55,440 --> 00:27:57,640 Speaker 1: York state one of the places that will be having 491 00:27:57,720 --> 00:28:01,119 Speaker 1: its primary. We're joined now by Andrew Giuliani, who is 492 00:28:01,200 --> 00:28:06,000 Speaker 1: running for the Republican nomination in the state of New York. Andrew, 493 00:28:06,119 --> 00:28:08,639 Speaker 1: thanks for joining us. What do you expect to see 494 00:28:09,160 --> 00:28:12,920 Speaker 1: from voters today in the state of New York. Well, guys, 495 00:28:12,920 --> 00:28:14,920 Speaker 1: always great to join you. I gotta tell you, we've 496 00:28:14,920 --> 00:28:17,320 Speaker 1: been out on the trail really NonStop the last year, 497 00:28:17,359 --> 00:28:20,320 Speaker 1: but especially the last couple of days here from Buffalo 498 00:28:20,359 --> 00:28:23,200 Speaker 1: to Rochester to Syracuse. I think voters are going to 499 00:28:23,280 --> 00:28:25,439 Speaker 1: turn out and say they want Andrew Giuliani to be 500 00:28:25,440 --> 00:28:28,600 Speaker 1: their Republican nominee. Everything we're seeing, though is tight in 501 00:28:28,680 --> 00:28:31,960 Speaker 1: all this. All the public polling release, our private internals 502 00:28:32,040 --> 00:28:34,480 Speaker 1: have us up four points right now, but everything is 503 00:28:34,520 --> 00:28:36,879 Speaker 1: within the margin of error. So we're telling people to 504 00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:39,400 Speaker 1: come on out and make sure they vote today. It 505 00:28:39,400 --> 00:28:41,640 Speaker 1: doesn't matter as long as they come out by nine pm. 506 00:28:41,880 --> 00:28:43,720 Speaker 1: Got to come out and cash your vote. Andrew, you 507 00:28:43,720 --> 00:28:46,840 Speaker 1: and I go back decades, and obviously anyone from New 508 00:28:46,920 --> 00:28:50,920 Speaker 1: York City from the nineties feels like they have a 509 00:28:51,000 --> 00:28:53,520 Speaker 1: debt of gratitude to the Giuliani name for cleaning up 510 00:28:53,600 --> 00:28:56,280 Speaker 1: the city. Why are you ready for this, my friend? 511 00:28:56,400 --> 00:28:58,080 Speaker 1: Why are you ready to be governor of New York. 512 00:28:59,200 --> 00:29:02,960 Speaker 1: So I've spent thirty three years looking at this, watching 513 00:29:03,280 --> 00:29:06,760 Speaker 1: how New York City can be transformed from the rotting 514 00:29:06,760 --> 00:29:10,040 Speaker 1: apple as was described by Time magazine in the early nineties, 515 00:29:10,400 --> 00:29:13,080 Speaker 1: where you had over two thousand murders a year consistently, 516 00:29:13,400 --> 00:29:16,920 Speaker 1: to the safest large city in America. Now, unfortunately, we're 517 00:29:16,960 --> 00:29:20,240 Speaker 1: going back in the wrong direction because of policies like 518 00:29:20,440 --> 00:29:23,800 Speaker 1: bail reform, because we have DA's like Alvin Bragg and 519 00:29:23,880 --> 00:29:27,160 Speaker 1: like Gonzalez who are Soros funded that choose not to 520 00:29:27,200 --> 00:29:29,680 Speaker 1: execute their oath of office. Think of the message that 521 00:29:29,760 --> 00:29:32,720 Speaker 1: sends to our police officers when you say we are 522 00:29:32,760 --> 00:29:36,920 Speaker 1: not going to prosecute resisting arrests. We now more than 523 00:29:36,920 --> 00:29:40,080 Speaker 1: ever need to curb this outflow of migration from New 524 00:29:40,160 --> 00:29:43,560 Speaker 1: York to places like Florida. That means making sure we 525 00:29:43,680 --> 00:29:46,120 Speaker 1: end this war on our police. That means making sure 526 00:29:46,160 --> 00:29:49,000 Speaker 1: that we're not the highest tax state in the country anymore, 527 00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:51,560 Speaker 1: and most overregulated state in the country. And it also 528 00:29:51,640 --> 00:29:54,240 Speaker 1: means making sure that we're fighting for our kids and 529 00:29:54,280 --> 00:29:57,720 Speaker 1: our parents' rights to be their primary stakeholder in our 530 00:29:57,800 --> 00:29:59,720 Speaker 1: kids education. That's what I will do in all of 531 00:29:59,720 --> 00:30:03,760 Speaker 1: any on day one, Buck Andrew, You've got a really 532 00:30:04,000 --> 00:30:07,880 Speaker 1: big challenge in New York with so many people relocating 533 00:30:07,960 --> 00:30:10,080 Speaker 1: outside of the state. You kind of hinted at that 534 00:30:10,280 --> 00:30:12,560 Speaker 1: based on the tax rates that are going on there. 535 00:30:12,600 --> 00:30:15,840 Speaker 1: I think also security factors in how do you get 536 00:30:15,920 --> 00:30:18,960 Speaker 1: people leaving New York to be willing to come back, 537 00:30:19,280 --> 00:30:22,120 Speaker 1: especially because many of the people leaving are those that 538 00:30:22,120 --> 00:30:25,320 Speaker 1: would owe the most taxes and they're going to frankly 539 00:30:25,440 --> 00:30:29,920 Speaker 1: far freer and more affordable states. Well, and Clay, I 540 00:30:29,960 --> 00:30:31,800 Speaker 1: know you and I have talked about this as a 541 00:30:31,840 --> 00:30:33,840 Speaker 1: few years ago. You move from a blue state to 542 00:30:33,880 --> 00:30:36,640 Speaker 1: a red state, a state that actually looks at their budget. 543 00:30:36,640 --> 00:30:39,160 Speaker 1: I mean, think about this. New York's budget is two 544 00:30:39,240 --> 00:30:42,520 Speaker 1: hundred and twenty billion dollars. To compare it to Florida 545 00:30:42,560 --> 00:30:46,040 Speaker 1: that has one million more people. Florida's budget is ninety 546 00:30:46,040 --> 00:30:49,080 Speaker 1: eight billion dollars. That means they're spending five thousand dollars 547 00:30:49,360 --> 00:30:53,040 Speaker 1: per person in Florida versus over eleven thousand in New York. 548 00:30:53,120 --> 00:30:55,760 Speaker 1: We are just not efficient at all in New York, 549 00:30:55,760 --> 00:30:58,600 Speaker 1: and unfortunately, it just continues to go up and up 550 00:30:58,640 --> 00:31:01,080 Speaker 1: and up. So obviously the first thing is making sure 551 00:31:01,200 --> 00:31:04,000 Speaker 1: you can reduce crime, because people first and foremost want 552 00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:06,720 Speaker 1: to feel safe for their family. But then secondly, right 553 00:31:06,760 --> 00:31:08,760 Speaker 1: after that, you have to look at the cost of living. 554 00:31:08,760 --> 00:31:11,120 Speaker 1: In the fact that we are now paying five dollars 555 00:31:11,120 --> 00:31:14,520 Speaker 1: a gallon gas, it's gonna hurt those Northeast states far 556 00:31:14,600 --> 00:31:16,600 Speaker 1: more than the sun Belt states because you have some 557 00:31:16,680 --> 00:31:19,720 Speaker 1: New Yorkers that are looking at the approaching winner in 558 00:31:19,760 --> 00:31:22,040 Speaker 1: a couple of months here and thinking, am I going 559 00:31:22,080 --> 00:31:24,479 Speaker 1: to have the money to heat my home or actually 560 00:31:24,480 --> 00:31:26,800 Speaker 1: go to the grocery store. That's going to chase more 561 00:31:26,840 --> 00:31:28,880 Speaker 1: and more people out. We need to make sure We're 562 00:31:28,880 --> 00:31:31,680 Speaker 1: doing everything we can from an economic standpoint, from a 563 00:31:31,720 --> 00:31:35,440 Speaker 1: crime standpoint, from an education standpoint, and also from a 564 00:31:35,560 --> 00:31:38,480 Speaker 1: health freedom standpoint. I know, play Buck, you guys have 565 00:31:38,560 --> 00:31:40,719 Speaker 1: talked a whole lot about this, but the fact that 566 00:31:40,760 --> 00:31:43,360 Speaker 1: we still have mandates in place in the state of 567 00:31:43,400 --> 00:31:45,720 Speaker 1: New York, and we have great New York heroes like 568 00:31:45,760 --> 00:31:48,680 Speaker 1: our firefighters and our nurses that lost their job because 569 00:31:48,680 --> 00:31:52,920 Speaker 1: they made a health decision is unconscionable. And these health decisions, 570 00:31:52,960 --> 00:31:55,800 Speaker 1: these health mandates will go in the Ashman of history. 571 00:31:56,440 --> 00:32:01,840 Speaker 1: On day one of a Giuliani administration candidate for the 572 00:32:01,880 --> 00:32:06,080 Speaker 1: governor's mansion here in New York State, and it is 573 00:32:06,120 --> 00:32:09,800 Speaker 1: primary day in New York State, so obviously people are 574 00:32:09,840 --> 00:32:13,400 Speaker 1: going out right now casting their votes without in mind, Andrew, 575 00:32:13,840 --> 00:32:17,680 Speaker 1: how do you stack up against the current governor who 576 00:32:17,960 --> 00:32:20,120 Speaker 1: didn't win an election, just kind of ended up the 577 00:32:20,160 --> 00:32:26,560 Speaker 1: governor Kathy Hokel. Does she still have her vaccine necklace off? Yeah? 578 00:32:26,600 --> 00:32:28,400 Speaker 1: You know, that's one of the other things. I will 579 00:32:28,440 --> 00:32:31,280 Speaker 1: never actually go into a church and ask people to 580 00:32:31,280 --> 00:32:34,400 Speaker 1: be my apostles. What kind of a deity complex does 581 00:32:34,400 --> 00:32:37,080 Speaker 1: she have? I think she does still wear that VAXX necklace. 582 00:32:37,120 --> 00:32:39,240 Speaker 1: At times. I don't know. I'm sure at some point 583 00:32:39,280 --> 00:32:41,520 Speaker 1: they'll say that she needs to take it off, and 584 00:32:41,640 --> 00:32:44,400 Speaker 1: she'll listen to her consultants. I mean, one of the things, guys, 585 00:32:44,680 --> 00:32:47,400 Speaker 1: I really thought that it wasn't possible for her to 586 00:32:47,400 --> 00:32:50,000 Speaker 1: be as corrupt as Andrew Cuomo. But if we gave 587 00:32:50,000 --> 00:32:52,000 Speaker 1: her the time, she might get there. You think about 588 00:32:52,040 --> 00:32:55,040 Speaker 1: the first six months of her tenure. You already have 589 00:32:55,320 --> 00:32:57,960 Speaker 1: a stadium deal where her husband is profiting off of, 590 00:32:58,280 --> 00:33:01,160 Speaker 1: and then you have a lieutenant governor, really her first 591 00:33:01,640 --> 00:33:05,959 Speaker 1: major personnel pick, who gets arrested for campaign finance fraud. 592 00:33:06,600 --> 00:33:09,200 Speaker 1: So we just can't give Kathy Okel any more time, 593 00:33:09,360 --> 00:33:11,880 Speaker 1: certainly not if we're going to bring New York State back. 594 00:33:11,920 --> 00:33:14,280 Speaker 1: I think this is very simple. Kathy Okell does not 595 00:33:14,400 --> 00:33:17,040 Speaker 1: care about the fact that crime is going is running 596 00:33:17,080 --> 00:33:19,480 Speaker 1: out of control, not just in New York City but 597 00:33:19,560 --> 00:33:22,280 Speaker 1: also in Rochester and Binghamton and Buffalo where they had 598 00:33:22,360 --> 00:33:24,760 Speaker 1: murder rate highs last year. We need to make sure 599 00:33:24,800 --> 00:33:28,280 Speaker 1: we are addressing the root problems and not playing politics. 600 00:33:28,480 --> 00:33:30,920 Speaker 1: Kathy Oakel, the only thing that she has done for 601 00:33:30,960 --> 00:33:33,880 Speaker 1: New York right now has played politics, And I guess 602 00:33:33,920 --> 00:33:36,040 Speaker 1: the only good thing that she's done, which I guess 603 00:33:36,040 --> 00:33:39,040 Speaker 1: it's questionable even if it's good because she's been so bad. 604 00:33:39,400 --> 00:33:44,320 Speaker 1: Is the fact that she relieved Andrew Cuomo of his duties. Andrew, 605 00:33:45,040 --> 00:33:47,120 Speaker 1: first of all, we appreciate you given the time because 606 00:33:47,120 --> 00:33:50,760 Speaker 1: we know how busy you are here. But as you 607 00:33:50,800 --> 00:33:54,240 Speaker 1: look towards the future with COVID, we've still got kids 608 00:33:54,280 --> 00:33:57,520 Speaker 1: having to wear masks. Sometimes it feels like Democrats might 609 00:33:57,600 --> 00:34:01,080 Speaker 1: bring it back. Would you just basically say this is 610 00:34:01,160 --> 00:34:03,680 Speaker 1: done in New York And how much are you hearing 611 00:34:03,680 --> 00:34:06,200 Speaker 1: from people out there that they're just over all this 612 00:34:06,280 --> 00:34:11,520 Speaker 1: COVID theater. My seven month old daughter, Grace is traveling 613 00:34:11,520 --> 00:34:13,840 Speaker 1: around with me today on the campaign trail hit and 614 00:34:13,880 --> 00:34:16,360 Speaker 1: stop and stop, and she's by far the most charming 615 00:34:16,440 --> 00:34:19,480 Speaker 1: Giuliani in the family. Rudy or myself do not compare 616 00:34:19,520 --> 00:34:21,600 Speaker 1: to her. But I think about if she was only 617 00:34:21,640 --> 00:34:23,840 Speaker 1: a couple of years older, what it would be like 618 00:34:23,960 --> 00:34:26,040 Speaker 1: putting her on the school bus knowing that she would 619 00:34:26,040 --> 00:34:28,640 Speaker 1: have to be in a mask all day, and I 620 00:34:28,680 --> 00:34:31,480 Speaker 1: can't imagine it. Guys, to me, this is crazy when 621 00:34:31,520 --> 00:34:34,080 Speaker 1: you have a CDC director that is going out there 622 00:34:34,120 --> 00:34:38,320 Speaker 1: and literally saying that this vaccine does not prevent transmission, 623 00:34:38,560 --> 00:34:40,839 Speaker 1: then why is there a mandate on this at all? 624 00:34:40,920 --> 00:34:44,720 Speaker 1: This should be everybody's individual health choice. We should absolutely 625 00:34:44,760 --> 00:34:47,160 Speaker 1: not be mandating masks on kids. I look at it 626 00:34:47,200 --> 00:34:49,879 Speaker 1: frankly as child abuse, and I think the long term 627 00:34:49,880 --> 00:34:52,520 Speaker 1: effects we won't know about for a very long time. 628 00:34:52,520 --> 00:34:54,800 Speaker 1: At all this and for me, this is very simple. 629 00:34:54,880 --> 00:34:58,560 Speaker 1: All of these mandates, the mass mandates, the vaccine mandates, 630 00:34:58,719 --> 00:35:03,040 Speaker 1: they become individual health choices the day that I take office, 631 00:35:03,080 --> 00:35:06,000 Speaker 1: and all the mandates go into trash on day one. 632 00:35:06,560 --> 00:35:08,920 Speaker 1: Speaking of Andrew Giuliani, he's running for governor, and the 633 00:35:08,960 --> 00:35:12,640 Speaker 1: Republican primary is today in New York, or the primary 634 00:35:12,800 --> 00:35:16,440 Speaker 1: in general. Andrew, we've only got about thirty forty second. 635 00:35:16,520 --> 00:35:18,239 Speaker 1: Just want to give you the floor to Telfa. I 636 00:35:18,280 --> 00:35:20,239 Speaker 1: know there are people listening all over New York State 637 00:35:20,320 --> 00:35:23,040 Speaker 1: right now. We've got a fantastic New York based audience. Obviously, 638 00:35:23,080 --> 00:35:27,200 Speaker 1: I'm here at NYC. Your last pitch for them, sir, Well, 639 00:35:27,200 --> 00:35:28,680 Speaker 1: you got to get out and vote. Today is the 640 00:35:28,800 --> 00:35:31,400 Speaker 1: day to fulfill our civic duty. If you want, somebody 641 00:35:31,400 --> 00:35:33,200 Speaker 1: who's going to go up to Albany and make sure 642 00:35:33,280 --> 00:35:36,279 Speaker 1: that we can make New York safe again by making 643 00:35:36,280 --> 00:35:38,640 Speaker 1: sure we end this war on our cops, who can 644 00:35:38,680 --> 00:35:42,000 Speaker 1: give our parents the choice in education that they deserve, 645 00:35:42,280 --> 00:35:45,520 Speaker 1: by having tax credits, by increasing the charter school, by 646 00:35:45,560 --> 00:35:48,239 Speaker 1: truly believing our parents are the primary stakeholders in our 647 00:35:48,320 --> 00:35:50,600 Speaker 1: kids education. If you want somebody that's going to make 648 00:35:50,640 --> 00:35:53,840 Speaker 1: sure that health decisions should be yours and yours alone, 649 00:35:53,880 --> 00:35:56,680 Speaker 1: and not by a dictatorial governor, then come on out 650 00:35:56,680 --> 00:35:59,680 Speaker 1: and vote for Andrew Giuliani today. You've got eight hours 651 00:35:59,719 --> 00:36:02,320 Speaker 1: to the post quote, so come on out and both Andrew. 652 00:36:02,320 --> 00:36:04,160 Speaker 1: Good luck to you, my friend, Claint.

We'll talk about it 657 00:36:16,160 --> 00:36:43,760 Speaker 1: with him. Hang with us, Clay Travis and Buck Sexton 658 00:36:44,520 --> 00:36:46,600 Speaker 1: on the front lines of truth.
