We got so much to get into RFK 12 00:00:37,040 --> 00:00:41,960 Speaker 1: Junior not going away in the Democrat primary race and 13 00:00:42,120 --> 00:00:46,640 Speaker 1: saying a lot of really interesting things. Nicky Hayley pressed 14 00:00:46,680 --> 00:00:49,040 Speaker 1: on abortion. Thought she had a pretty good answer there. 15 00:00:49,080 --> 00:00:52,440 Speaker 1: What's Joe Manchin going to do? The Daily Beast is 16 00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:58,200 Speaker 1: obsessed with the Republican obsession on trans athletes, and CNN's 17 00:00:58,240 --> 00:01:04,560 Speaker 1: head gets absolutely massacred in an Atlantic article Chris licked. 18 00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:08,760 Speaker 1: But there's some really interesting quotes there, and I wanted 19 00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:09,520 Speaker 1: to start with this. 20 00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:09,880 Speaker 2: Buck. 21 00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:12,279 Speaker 1: And by the way, fantastic wee get for you. Everything 22 00:01:12,319 --> 00:01:14,520 Speaker 1: good with you and Carrie rolling down in Miami. 23 00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:15,840 Speaker 2: Yeah, it was great. 24 00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:17,880 Speaker 3: I don't even remember what I did, but I slept 25 00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:19,520 Speaker 3: a lot and read a lot, So I'm happy. 26 00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:21,680 Speaker 1: That's a good combo. That's a good weekend if you 27 00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:22,880 Speaker 1: get to sleep a lot and you get to read 28 00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:24,640 Speaker 1: a lot. In my book, I was at the Little 29 00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:27,200 Speaker 1: League Fields, went to see the New Spider Verse movie, 30 00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:31,120 Speaker 1: and spent six hours recording the audio version half of 31 00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:33,120 Speaker 1: it of my new book. By the way, Jesse Kelly, 32 00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:35,679 Speaker 1: many of you listened to Jesse, many of your fans. 33 00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:38,200 Speaker 1: He's got a book coming out tomorrow. I believe he 34 00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:41,160 Speaker 1: will be with us in the third hour of this program, 35 00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:45,040 Speaker 1: So Buck, RFK Junior is not going away. We had 36 00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:47,960 Speaker 1: him on this program. A lot of you responded very 37 00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:51,640 Speaker 1: favorably to him, and a lot of what he's saying, frankly, 38 00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:56,280 Speaker 1: is just common sense, which is incredibly uncommon in the 39 00:01:56,320 --> 00:02:00,880 Speaker 1: Democrat Party right now, and to me illustrative of the 40 00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:06,320 Speaker 1: degree to which people want truth tellers. And RFK Junior 41 00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:12,800 Speaker 1: is absolutely slamming COVID lockdowns, And Buck, can you even 42 00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:17,080 Speaker 1: think of any other Democrat out there who has criticized 43 00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:21,440 Speaker 1: COVID lockdowns publicly at all? Can you think, can you 44 00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:23,920 Speaker 1: think of any Democrat and you've said, hey, you know, 45 00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:25,960 Speaker 1: and I might disagree with him on X or Y, 46 00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:28,200 Speaker 1: but at least he's on the same team when it 47 00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:31,639 Speaker 1: comes to COVID lockdowns, Almost to a word, not one 48 00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:34,320 Speaker 1: Democrat has been able to say anything negative at all. 49 00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:35,239 Speaker 2: Can you think of any. 50 00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:37,399 Speaker 3: I can't think of a single one off the top 51 00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:39,800 Speaker 3: of my head. And I've been amazed at how few 52 00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:44,920 Speaker 3: pundits and writers and you know, influencers creators also have 53 00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:48,200 Speaker 3: just pretended like they didn't get absolutely everything wrong by 54 00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:50,679 Speaker 3: supporting masks, lockdowns and vaccine mandates. 55 00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:55,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, and so RFK Junior is consistently polling at twenty 56 00:02:55,639 --> 00:03:00,400 Speaker 1: percent against Joe Biden, which is a pretty big numbering. 57 00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:02,920 Speaker 1: The DNC has got the rig job in effect to 58 00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:05,000 Speaker 1: try to keep it from even being able to compete. 59 00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:08,359 Speaker 3: So what's But I don't understand this because I get 60 00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:11,160 Speaker 3: people that are saying stuff, Like you know, people write 61 00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:14,320 Speaker 3: me emails, write emails, and we read all of them, 62 00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:18,320 Speaker 3: especially the nice ones or the encouraging ones, the mean ones. 63 00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:20,800 Speaker 3: I read and then I'm and then I am sad 64 00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:23,000 Speaker 3: for a few minutes. But I appreciate it. Nonetheless, I 65 00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:24,840 Speaker 3: want to hear what all the opinions are that are 66 00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:28,280 Speaker 3: out there. And I get emails that say, how about 67 00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:33,600 Speaker 3: a Trump RFK ticket RFK Junior ticket? And what I 68 00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:38,280 Speaker 3: what I don't really understand is first of all, first 69 00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:41,560 Speaker 3: of all, Trump and RFK don't see the vaccines exactly 70 00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:42,200 Speaker 3: the same way. 71 00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:46,600 Speaker 1: SOFK is actually more way more critical of the vaccines 72 00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:48,200 Speaker 1: than Trump is, which is fascinating. 73 00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:50,680 Speaker 3: Good point, right, I mean that's again statement of fact. 74 00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:53,520 Speaker 3: I'm just telling people what's reality. And we all know it, right, 75 00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:55,840 Speaker 3: everyone can see that. So they don't they're not even 76 00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:59,720 Speaker 3: they're not aligned on that issue, and what what else 77 00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:03,040 Speaker 3: would they be aligned on? Look, here's what I see, 78 00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:07,960 Speaker 3: you know, I see RFK Junior gives Democrats an opportunity 79 00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:11,720 Speaker 3: to show their displeasure about the fact that a dementia 80 00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:15,400 Speaker 3: patient who is too past his prime to put it mildly, 81 00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:18,920 Speaker 3: for the job Joe Biden is their option going into 82 00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:19,560 Speaker 3: this election. 83 00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:22,200 Speaker 2: And I think that they want that. 84 00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:25,560 Speaker 3: I don't know if you call it catharsis or that 85 00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:30,159 Speaker 3: that feeling of temporary honesty where they get to say, well, 86 00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:32,840 Speaker 3: you know, we really wish it would be RFK Junior. 87 00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:36,080 Speaker 3: I see them all falling in line when push comes 88 00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:40,080 Speaker 3: to shove, especially as we look at the polls increasingly 89 00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:42,520 Speaker 3: clear that Trump is not just the front runner, but 90 00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:44,960 Speaker 3: feeling more and more like he's going to be the 91 00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:48,200 Speaker 3: guy they're up against. No Democrat is going to vote 92 00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:52,080 Speaker 3: to undermine the president in office if he's going up 93 00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:54,560 Speaker 3: against Trump. That's when push comes to shove. Right now 94 00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:57,159 Speaker 3: they can talk about it, and so I just think 95 00:04:57,160 --> 00:04:59,520 Speaker 3: this is a little bit of a mental and emotional 96 00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:03,279 Speaker 3: safe space for Democrats to speak reality out loud for 97 00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:05,840 Speaker 3: a second on vaccines. But I don't see how this 98 00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:08,920 Speaker 3: has any long term political implications because I think they 99 00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:12,040 Speaker 3: will just fall in line when they have to look 100 00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:14,320 Speaker 3: at the opposition. Do you see that differently, Like, do 101 00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:17,200 Speaker 3: you think there could be a real insurgent campaign here 102 00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:19,920 Speaker 3: from within the Democrat Look, Bill O'Reilly, does we had 103 00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:21,640 Speaker 3: them on last week? You said maybe. 104 00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:26,479 Speaker 1: I think if there were a valid Democrat alternative who 105 00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:29,599 Speaker 1: was well funded, I think that he or she could 106 00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:32,680 Speaker 1: beat Joe Biden. I really do in the primary, because 107 00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:34,800 Speaker 1: I think that's how weak of a candidate Biden is. 108 00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:38,080 Speaker 2: Has that has this ever happened before? 109 00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:43,000 Speaker 1: What usually happens is the insurgent campaign forces the leading 110 00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:46,040 Speaker 1: campaign to drop out, right, Like if you go to LBJ, 111 00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:51,680 Speaker 1: LBJ basically because of Vietnam. If I'm remembering my history correct, 112 00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:53,960 Speaker 1: and people can can reach out and tell me if 113 00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:58,880 Speaker 1: I'm wrong. LBJ dropped out in sixty eight because of 114 00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:02,320 Speaker 1: the incredible pressure that he felt, and so he decided 115 00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:02,920 Speaker 1: not to run. 116 00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:04,559 Speaker 2: I think that's the way it would play. 117 00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:07,880 Speaker 3: So, I mean, since the primary system has been in 118 00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:11,920 Speaker 3: play since nineteen seventy two and incumbent has never lost 119 00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:14,719 Speaker 3: to a primary challenge one time. Zero it has happened 120 00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:18,600 Speaker 3: zero times in fifty years, yep, And I get it, 121 00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:20,800 Speaker 3: I get it. It would be rare. But I'm saying I 122 00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:23,440 Speaker 3: don't think he would lose in the primary. I think 123 00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:27,320 Speaker 3: the numbers would start looking so bad for him that 124 00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:29,600 Speaker 3: in the same way in sixty I believe I'm right, 125 00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:32,760 Speaker 3: right right. In sixty eight, LBJ came out in an 126 00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:35,840 Speaker 3: address and said I will not seek and I'm paraphrasing here, 127 00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:38,640 Speaker 3: and I will not accept the nomination if I am 128 00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:42,160 Speaker 3: the nominee, and that was He's out. And then Nixon 129 00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:46,360 Speaker 3: obviously won in sixty eight because LBJ felt so much 130 00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:48,359 Speaker 3: pressure from the left so I don't think this is 131 00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:51,599 Speaker 3: so new. I don't think this is surprising. And here's why. 132 00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:56,600 Speaker 3: You go back to twenty sixteen and you had the 133 00:06:56,600 --> 00:06:59,880 Speaker 3: Bernie wing, and the Bernie wing in the primary was 134 00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:02,640 Speaker 3: catching a lot of steam and it you know, it 135 00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:04,279 Speaker 3: was all of a sudden, Oh, we're going to have 136 00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:08,560 Speaker 3: an outright socialist as the Democrat nominee. And then a combination. 137 00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:11,800 Speaker 3: To be fair, it was a combination of the system 138 00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:14,680 Speaker 3: in that case, the super delegates. We all remember that. 139 00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:16,280 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, it was the craziest thing. 140 00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:19,680 Speaker 3: There are people who just get to choose early on 141 00:07:19,760 --> 00:07:22,520 Speaker 3: who they're going for without actually having to wait for 142 00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:24,280 Speaker 3: any votes to come in. I mean, the whole thing 143 00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:27,440 Speaker 3: was such a rig job. But there was that Bernie 144 00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:31,200 Speaker 3: faction and Clay I remember on set at CNN back 145 00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:33,760 Speaker 3: in the day twenty fifteen, early on in the primary, 146 00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:36,520 Speaker 3: there were all these CNN Democrat punnets who are like, well, 147 00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:38,640 Speaker 3: you know, the base is really with Bernie. The base 148 00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:40,840 Speaker 3: of the Democrat Party is with Bernie. And then the 149 00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:43,080 Speaker 3: cameras would come on and they were on CNN and 150 00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:45,400 Speaker 3: what do you think They said, Oh, I think Hillary 151 00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:49,040 Speaker 3: Clinton's going to be a fabulous president. So there's there's 152 00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:53,560 Speaker 3: often this twenty percent of the base of the party 153 00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:56,520 Speaker 3: that will just decide they want to play games and 154 00:07:56,800 --> 00:07:59,360 Speaker 3: think about alternatives. And I'm not saying they're not sincere 155 00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:02,680 Speaker 3: in it, but the machinery of the party is so powerful. 156 00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:05,200 Speaker 3: I just don't see how the machinery of the party 157 00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:07,560 Speaker 3: made buying the nominee in the first I mean, made 158 00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:09,080 Speaker 3: him the president in the first place. 159 00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:09,559 Speaker 2: Yeah. 160 00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:14,240 Speaker 1: Look, I would say in twenty sixteen, remember everybody wanted 161 00:08:14,280 --> 00:08:17,720 Speaker 1: to talk about the hack Hillary Clinton emails. They actually 162 00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:21,320 Speaker 1: just proved how rigged the Democrat Party was, because the 163 00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:25,160 Speaker 1: biggest takeaway from those was that the DNC essentially came 164 00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:27,760 Speaker 1: in as hard as they could on Hillary. Now, the 165 00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:30,320 Speaker 1: difference I would say there Buck is that was an 166 00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:34,360 Speaker 1: open primary, right because there wasn't an incumbent president. So 167 00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:37,480 Speaker 1: the fact that Hillary was weak in sixteen makes a 168 00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:39,680 Speaker 1: little bit more sense. What I would compare this to 169 00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:43,840 Speaker 1: is go back to twenty twelve. Nobody in the Democrat 170 00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:47,120 Speaker 1: Party said I'm going to challenge Barack Obama at all, 171 00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:50,240 Speaker 1: if I remember correctly, no, and and that nobody would 172 00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:52,680 Speaker 1: have even thought of it. And the fact I want 173 00:08:52,679 --> 00:08:54,520 Speaker 1: to play this audio, I think I think this is 174 00:08:54,679 --> 00:08:57,040 Speaker 1: RFK Junior. If I'm not mistaken, the crew can let 175 00:08:57,040 --> 00:08:59,440 Speaker 1: me know if I'm wrong. I think this is RFK 176 00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:03,880 Speaker 1: Junior going on Fox News and with Harris Faulkner. I 177 00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:06,600 Speaker 1: believe because I saw this clip over the weekend and 178 00:09:06,760 --> 00:09:11,800 Speaker 1: saying the COVID lockdowns were a sixteen trillion dollar mistake. 179 00:09:11,880 --> 00:09:12,440 Speaker 2: Listen to this. 180 00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:17,920 Speaker 4: I'd like either President Biden or President Trump explained the 181 00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:21,440 Speaker 4: lockdowns to us. That was a sixteen trillion dollar mistake. 182 00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:26,199 Speaker 4: We shifted four trillion dollars in wealth from the middle 183 00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:28,760 Speaker 4: class in this country to the super rich, this new 184 00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:33,160 Speaker 4: aristocracy of billionaires. The lockdowns created a billionaire a day, 185 00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:36,360 Speaker 4: five hundred new billionaires, and the people who came into 186 00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:40,079 Speaker 4: the lockdown with the billion dollars increased their well by 187 00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:45,320 Speaker 4: thirty percent. We closed three point three million businesses without 188 00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:49,760 Speaker 4: due process, without chudge compensation. The White House both White 189 00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:53,520 Speaker 4: Houses were collaborating with Amazon and with the other social 190 00:09:53,559 --> 00:09:56,480 Speaker 4: media size to shut down their competitors. 191 00:09:57,440 --> 00:10:00,880 Speaker 3: I think what he's saying is one hundred sent true 192 00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:04,720 Speaker 3: and accurate, meaning, you know, the overall impact of lockdowns 193 00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:09,440 Speaker 3: was catastrophic. It was abject. That was abjectly wrong. It's 194 00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:11,760 Speaker 3: also interesting that I have people that are telling me, well, 195 00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:14,080 Speaker 3: what about an RFK Trump ticket. To be clear, as 196 00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:17,280 Speaker 3: you heard there, he's going after Trump for lockdowns too. 197 00:10:17,640 --> 00:10:20,760 Speaker 3: He's not just blaming Biden. So we have to go 198 00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:22,959 Speaker 3: with the words that he's actually saying and using here, 199 00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:26,400 Speaker 3: which is he's blaming really both what he would call 200 00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:29,079 Speaker 3: the establishments of both parties, obviously the president on the 201 00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:32,680 Speaker 3: one hand and now the president later on on the other. 202 00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:35,880 Speaker 2: And I think that people. 203 00:10:36,040 --> 00:10:40,000 Speaker 3: There is an excitement at hearing the truth about this 204 00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:43,280 Speaker 3: from a national level figure for the first time, because 205 00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:46,240 Speaker 3: let's just take a step back. Who is saying that 206 00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:51,760 Speaker 3: lockdowns across the board starting in twenty twenty were this disastrous. 207 00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:56,160 Speaker 3: Nobody is saying that they were disastrous from twenty twenty 208 00:10:56,200 --> 00:11:00,200 Speaker 3: in the beginning on. It's generally Joe Biden's extension of 209 00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:04,120 Speaker 3: them were completely insane, which they were, to be clear, 210 00:11:04,520 --> 00:11:07,760 Speaker 3: But he is going after both Trump and Biden on this, 211 00:11:08,040 --> 00:11:11,120 Speaker 3: which seems like positioning not just in a primary, but 212 00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:14,400 Speaker 3: obviously in a general I'm trying to say, is he 213 00:11:14,400 --> 00:11:18,120 Speaker 3: would run against Trump on this? Everybody, that's the eventual 214 00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:20,800 Speaker 3: goal here. I think some folks aren't seeing this. They're 215 00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:23,240 Speaker 3: thinking there's a unity Trump RFK ticket. 216 00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:23,600 Speaker 2: No. 217 00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:27,679 Speaker 3: No, RFK would want to go up against Donald Trump 218 00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:28,720 Speaker 3: if he could. 219 00:11:29,320 --> 00:11:32,760 Speaker 1: There are a lot of Trump advisors who have actually 220 00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:37,440 Speaker 1: floated the RFK Junior thing publicly. I mean, RFK Junior 221 00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:39,520 Speaker 1: has shot it down. So I do think there is 222 00:11:39,559 --> 00:11:40,160 Speaker 1: some discussion. 223 00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:40,320 Speaker 5: Now. 224 00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:41,000 Speaker 2: I want you to listen. 225 00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:43,600 Speaker 3: He will not There's no chance that he would do 226 00:11:43,640 --> 00:11:46,120 Speaker 3: it is the whether I think you're correct. I don't 227 00:11:46,120 --> 00:11:48,559 Speaker 3: think he would do it. But here is cut three. 228 00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:50,240 Speaker 1: I want you to hear this too, because we talked 229 00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:54,280 Speaker 1: about the fact that Democrats rigged the primary in twenty sixteen. 230 00:11:54,800 --> 00:11:58,959 Speaker 1: RFK Junior for Hillary over Bernie. RFK Junior is saying 231 00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:02,320 Speaker 1: what the Democrats are doing is like what a Soviet 232 00:12:02,440 --> 00:12:03,240 Speaker 1: state does. 233 00:12:03,480 --> 00:12:04,280 Speaker 2: Listen to this too. 234 00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:06,960 Speaker 4: In New Hampshire, you've got to do politics. You've got 235 00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:09,040 Speaker 4: to go into the nail salons, into the diners, the 236 00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:12,520 Speaker 4: gas stations, the barbershops. When you go to New Hampshire, 237 00:12:12,559 --> 00:12:14,720 Speaker 4: they veg you like you're running for a city council 238 00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:20,040 Speaker 4: and they play this important gateway role for the Democratic 239 00:12:20,080 --> 00:12:24,280 Speaker 4: Party and the Republican Party of forcing politicians to do 240 00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:28,800 Speaker 4: real retail politics and to listen to what Americans are 241 00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:31,240 Speaker 4: going through on the ground. And that's why it's so 242 00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:34,080 Speaker 4: key to have that in abolishing that primary in order 243 00:12:34,120 --> 00:12:37,800 Speaker 4: to fix the election. It's like the Soviet state when 244 00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:40,680 Speaker 4: the party picks the candidate and you know, instead of 245 00:12:40,679 --> 00:12:42,360 Speaker 4: the people, it's just wrong. 246 00:12:42,760 --> 00:12:44,880 Speaker 2: I mean again, you and I feel this the same way. 247 00:12:44,920 --> 00:12:45,439 Speaker 2: By this class. 248 00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:48,839 Speaker 3: Yeah, when you hear someone speaking the truth, it feels good. 249 00:12:49,240 --> 00:12:51,560 Speaker 3: And what he is saying about how the Democrats have 250 00:12:51,800 --> 00:12:55,280 Speaker 3: rigged the system for Biden in their own primary, yeah, 251 00:12:55,280 --> 00:12:57,760 Speaker 3: one hundred percent accurate. And when he says that the 252 00:12:57,800 --> 00:13:01,800 Speaker 3: lockdowns were catastrophically stupid, destruct and made because of the 253 00:13:01,840 --> 00:13:05,640 Speaker 3: massive inflation of spending trillions of dollars. It made rich 254 00:13:05,679 --> 00:13:09,080 Speaker 3: people with assets much richer and made your you know, 255 00:13:09,120 --> 00:13:12,360 Speaker 3: everyone else who's listening, your eggs and your gas and 256 00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:15,520 Speaker 3: your go down the list much more expensive. And wages 257 00:13:15,559 --> 00:13:18,920 Speaker 3: have not even begun to close that gap. So everything 258 00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:22,080 Speaker 3: he's saying is true. So it is it is interesting. 259 00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:24,960 Speaker 3: I mean, I'm with you that this creates a dynamic 260 00:13:25,040 --> 00:13:28,760 Speaker 3: that's worth understanding, diving into and trying to get ahead 261 00:13:28,760 --> 00:13:30,360 Speaker 3: of a little bit as to where this is going, 262 00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:35,000 Speaker 3: But I just keep running into what's the play here 263 00:13:35,520 --> 00:13:36,600 Speaker 3: because he's I think the. 264 00:13:36,679 --> 00:13:39,480 Speaker 1: Question, and it's a great question. Open open up phone 265 00:13:39,480 --> 00:13:41,120 Speaker 1: lines on this too. Eight hundred and two eight two 266 00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:43,240 Speaker 1: two eight A two. Let's talk about this when we 267 00:13:43,320 --> 00:13:45,640 Speaker 1: get back, because my thing is, buck, is there a 268 00:13:46,120 --> 00:13:50,640 Speaker 1: level of support that RFK Junior could get?

Appreciate all 298 00:15:26,680 --> 00:15:28,440 Speaker 1: of you hanging out with us. We got a couple 299 00:15:28,440 --> 00:15:33,560 Speaker 1: of different news stories that are out there. Mike Pence 300 00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:38,120 Speaker 1: has officially entered the twenty twenty four presidential race, Trump's 301 00:15:38,120 --> 00:15:42,360 Speaker 1: former vice president. We will discuss that here momentarily. But 302 00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:46,080 Speaker 1: news that is also breaking is about someone who is 303 00:15:46,240 --> 00:15:51,920 Speaker 1: not going to enter the race. New Hampshire Governor JOHNSONUNU 304 00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:56,760 Speaker 1: Chris Chris Sanunu is not going to run. He just 305 00:15:56,880 --> 00:16:00,800 Speaker 1: told CNN in an interview. He also had an opinion 306 00:16:00,880 --> 00:16:03,920 Speaker 1: piece that is up in the last what fifteen minutes 307 00:16:04,400 --> 00:16:08,440 Speaker 1: at the Washington Post. The headline is, I'm not running 308 00:16:08,440 --> 00:16:14,040 Speaker 1: for president in twenty twenty four. Beating Trump is more important. 309 00:16:14,080 --> 00:16:18,280 Speaker 1: This is New Hampshire Governor Chris Sinunu, and I'll read 310 00:16:18,320 --> 00:16:19,920 Speaker 1: the first couple of paragraphs. 311 00:16:19,720 --> 00:16:22,800 Speaker 3: He's a Republican at least theoretically, right. 312 00:16:23,360 --> 00:16:26,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, he won by I think almost twenty points in 313 00:16:26,640 --> 00:16:31,000 Speaker 1: New Hampshire. They we lost the Senate race there. I 314 00:16:31,080 --> 00:16:34,440 Speaker 1: will not be seeking the Republican nomination for president in 315 00:16:34,480 --> 00:16:39,000 Speaker 1: twenty twenty four. And I'm reading directly from his opinion piece. 316 00:16:39,440 --> 00:16:43,680 Speaker 1: Our party is on a collision course towards electoral irrelevance 317 00:16:44,080 --> 00:16:48,440 Speaker 1: without significant corrective action. The stakes are too high for 318 00:16:48,520 --> 00:16:52,160 Speaker 1: a crowded field to hand the nomination to a candidate 319 00:16:52,400 --> 00:16:55,640 Speaker 1: who earns just thirty five percent of the vote, and 320 00:16:55,680 --> 00:16:59,080 Speaker 1: I will help ensure this does not happen. The path 321 00:16:59,120 --> 00:17:01,760 Speaker 1: to winning was clear, but I believe I can have 322 00:17:01,840 --> 00:17:05,280 Speaker 1: more influence on the future of the Republican Party and 323 00:17:05,400 --> 00:17:09,000 Speaker 1: the twenty twenty four nominating process, not as a candidate, 324 00:17:09,240 --> 00:17:11,240 Speaker 1: but as the governor of the first in the nation 325 00:17:11,440 --> 00:17:12,399 Speaker 1: primary state. 326 00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:15,440 Speaker 2: Okay, so this is a big. 327 00:17:15,400 --> 00:17:17,080 Speaker 3: Just just for a moment here, I mean, yeah, it 328 00:17:17,160 --> 00:17:21,119 Speaker 3: matters in the primary because having a hometown favorite in 329 00:17:21,240 --> 00:17:24,920 Speaker 3: New Hampshire would obviously skew results at least in New Hampshire, 330 00:17:25,080 --> 00:17:27,720 Speaker 3: which could affect momentum in the other you know, going 331 00:17:27,760 --> 00:17:30,800 Speaker 3: into Super Tuesday and all the rest of it. But 332 00:17:31,520 --> 00:17:33,760 Speaker 3: I just feel like, if you're a Republican right now, 333 00:17:34,400 --> 00:17:36,360 Speaker 3: you're your north. 334 00:17:36,119 --> 00:17:38,840 Speaker 2: Star, your guiding light. 335 00:17:39,040 --> 00:17:42,440 Speaker 3: The thing that has to just be you know, the 336 00:17:43,200 --> 00:17:48,160 Speaker 3: goal is to take power from the Biden lunatic Democrats 337 00:17:48,320 --> 00:17:51,920 Speaker 3: and do everything possible to achieve that in this twenty 338 00:17:51,960 --> 00:17:57,600 Speaker 3: twenty four election, to give the Republican nominee not only 339 00:17:57,720 --> 00:18:01,680 Speaker 3: the White House, but also to get a Republican president 340 00:18:01,800 --> 00:18:06,600 Speaker 3: Trump most likely, but whomever, a Republican Senate and a 341 00:18:06,640 --> 00:18:10,200 Speaker 3: Republican House. So I don't understand, you know, if you're 342 00:18:10,200 --> 00:18:14,120 Speaker 3: a Republican, you want your his focus is to stop Trump. 343 00:18:14,240 --> 00:18:17,399 Speaker 3: That just strikes me, as where's that coming from? 344 00:18:17,440 --> 00:18:19,800 Speaker 1: Look the focus? And I think you're right. So, first 345 00:18:19,800 --> 00:18:22,720 Speaker 1: of all, the fact that Chris Nudu announced on CNN 346 00:18:22,880 --> 00:18:26,520 Speaker 1: and via an editorial in the Washington Post is very 347 00:18:26,960 --> 00:18:29,240 Speaker 1: nineteen nineties era Republican part. 348 00:18:31,280 --> 00:18:32,760 Speaker 3: If you just came out and he just said, you know, 349 00:18:32,800 --> 00:18:34,639 Speaker 3: I was going to run, but I don't want to 350 00:18:34,680 --> 00:18:38,360 Speaker 3: take my eye off of beating you know, Vivek Ramaswami 351 00:18:38,440 --> 00:18:41,200 Speaker 3: or Ron DeSantis. I think that's the most important. Everybody 352 00:18:41,240 --> 00:18:43,320 Speaker 3: would say, what do you know it's a fellow Republican. 353 00:18:43,359 --> 00:18:45,880 Speaker 3: What are you talking about? That's why I see here. 354 00:18:46,359 --> 00:18:49,320 Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree, and I think it's not a coincidence. 355 00:18:49,359 --> 00:18:51,680 Speaker 1: The way he announced, right, this is meant romney esque. 356 00:18:51,720 --> 00:18:55,000 Speaker 1: And what I would say is if he and look, 357 00:18:55,440 --> 00:18:57,439 Speaker 1: if he had come out and said, I'm not going 358 00:18:57,520 --> 00:19:02,280 Speaker 1: to run, because I think that beating Joe Biden is 359 00:19:02,359 --> 00:19:06,880 Speaker 1: so important. We have to have the best possible candidate. 360 00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:11,800 Speaker 1: And my plan is to vet everybody running and eventually 361 00:19:11,960 --> 00:19:15,080 Speaker 1: endorse in New Hampshire the best. In my opinion, I'm 362 00:19:15,080 --> 00:19:17,159 Speaker 1: speaking as if I was a New Hampshire governor, the 363 00:19:17,200 --> 00:19:19,520 Speaker 1: best candidate that can beat Joe Biden. I think everybody 364 00:19:19,520 --> 00:19:21,760 Speaker 1: would say, yeah, that's what you should do. That would 365 00:19:21,840 --> 00:19:24,439 Speaker 1: make that I would, I would understand. I just it 366 00:19:24,520 --> 00:19:27,960 Speaker 1: just feels like at this stage when you see what 367 00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:30,560 Speaker 1: the Democrats are doing and how Biden has governed for 368 00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:32,919 Speaker 1: four years. The thing you're gonna put out there is 369 00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:35,200 Speaker 1: I'm not running because it's so important to beat Trump 370 00:19:35,240 --> 00:19:37,720 Speaker 1: that this is the this is the wrong message for 371 00:19:37,760 --> 00:19:42,040 Speaker 1: the team. This is the wrong It's again, it's and 372 00:19:42,160 --> 00:19:44,000 Speaker 1: I just we have a lot of different candidates in 373 00:19:44,040 --> 00:19:46,840 Speaker 1: their staffs who listen to this show. Stop caring what 374 00:19:46,880 --> 00:19:48,960 Speaker 1: the New York Times and the Washington Posts say about you, 375 00:19:49,520 --> 00:19:51,760 Speaker 1: Stop caring what CNN ss you. 376 00:19:52,040 --> 00:19:52,840 Speaker 2: They hate you. 377 00:19:53,480 --> 00:19:56,240 Speaker 3: This is a plague on the right that we cannot 378 00:19:56,320 --> 00:20:01,280 Speaker 3: get rid of. That there's still this belief among among 379 00:20:01,600 --> 00:20:04,640 Speaker 3: very important connected people, people who live part of their 380 00:20:04,640 --> 00:20:09,880 Speaker 3: lives in DC. Senators, congressmen, even governor's a little less 381 00:20:09,920 --> 00:20:11,679 Speaker 3: so I would say, I think they're you know, I 382 00:20:11,720 --> 00:20:12,440 Speaker 3: don't think. 383 00:20:12,640 --> 00:20:15,080 Speaker 1: You know, I am sure this this cloud that he 384 00:20:15,440 --> 00:20:17,080 Speaker 1: went straight to the people that hate him. 385 00:20:17,080 --> 00:20:18,360 Speaker 2: Do what I was gonna say. 386 00:20:18,480 --> 00:20:20,280 Speaker 3: You know, there are states where I don't think the 387 00:20:20,320 --> 00:20:23,040 Speaker 3: governor of Idaho cares what the New York Times says. 388 00:20:23,119 --> 00:20:26,120 Speaker 3: But I do think and people are gonna be listening 389 00:20:26,160 --> 00:20:27,720 Speaker 3: to us more in Idaho here. But we'll talk about 390 00:20:27,720 --> 00:20:31,920 Speaker 3: that in a few seconds. But I think that there's 391 00:20:31,960 --> 00:20:35,080 Speaker 3: still this there's still this thought that the cool kids 392 00:20:35,119 --> 00:20:37,240 Speaker 3: table is the New York Times, the New York Times 393 00:20:37,359 --> 00:20:41,000 Speaker 3: editorial board. And so you want to be the strange, 394 00:20:41,119 --> 00:20:44,600 Speaker 3: You want that strange found new respect in an editorial 395 00:20:44,640 --> 00:20:47,600 Speaker 3: from them. And they're horrible and they're comedies and they're 396 00:20:47,600 --> 00:20:50,800 Speaker 3: destroying the country. So it really should be viewed as 397 00:20:51,400 --> 00:20:54,879 Speaker 3: a strike against you. Like when I see a Republican 398 00:20:54,960 --> 00:20:57,560 Speaker 3: getting nice things written about him by the New York Times, 399 00:20:57,800 --> 00:21:00,480 Speaker 3: I think to myself, how much of his soul that 400 00:21:00,520 --> 00:21:02,160 Speaker 3: he sell out for this one. I'm just being honest. 401 00:21:02,240 --> 00:21:05,119 Speaker 3: That's my first response, my first inclination. 402 00:21:05,840 --> 00:21:08,880 Speaker 1: Yeah, And this is just to me a pathetic grandstanding, 403 00:21:09,680 --> 00:21:14,160 Speaker 1: because look, they hate you, okay, And this is speaking 404 00:21:14,200 --> 00:21:17,679 Speaker 1: to everybody who's running the president. They hate you. The 405 00:21:17,760 --> 00:21:21,119 Speaker 1: New York Times hates you, The Washington Post hates you. 406 00:21:21,640 --> 00:21:27,160 Speaker 1: CNN hates you, MSNBC, they hate you. There's nothing you 407 00:21:27,240 --> 00:21:30,240 Speaker 1: can do that is going to make them not hate you. 408 00:21:30,560 --> 00:21:33,080 Speaker 1: And and this is important, particularly as it pertains the 409 00:21:33,119 --> 00:21:35,359 Speaker 1: New York Times and the Washington Post. And this is 410 00:21:35,359 --> 00:21:37,560 Speaker 1: in my new book, and I spend a bunch of 411 00:21:37,560 --> 00:21:42,359 Speaker 1: time on this. Republicans haven't realized yet, Buck, that the 412 00:21:42,480 --> 00:21:46,320 Speaker 1: business imperatives of The New York Times and The Washington 413 00:21:46,359 --> 00:21:50,240 Speaker 1: Post have changed enormously in the last seven or eight years. 414 00:21:50,720 --> 00:21:54,720 Speaker 1: It used to be that their business was primarily advertising, 415 00:21:55,240 --> 00:21:58,760 Speaker 1: so they needed the largest possible audience to consume their 416 00:21:58,840 --> 00:22:02,720 Speaker 1: content so they can charge the highest possible advertising rates. 417 00:22:03,240 --> 00:22:07,719 Speaker 1: Now they're in subscription businesses, and the subscribers want to 418 00:22:07,880 --> 00:22:13,080 Speaker 1: hear Republicans are evil, Donald Trump is hitler, and if 419 00:22:13,119 --> 00:22:15,960 Speaker 1: you don't serve them that up, they leave. And I'll 420 00:22:15,960 --> 00:22:17,600 Speaker 1: give you an analogy on this, Buck, because this is 421 00:22:17,600 --> 00:22:19,480 Speaker 1: in the book, but I think it's one hundred percent true. 422 00:22:19,600 --> 00:22:21,639 Speaker 1: I don't know what percentage of our listeners would be 423 00:22:21,760 --> 00:22:26,359 Speaker 1: diehard sports fans. Diehard sports fans sign up, Buck, this 424 00:22:26,400 --> 00:22:30,080 Speaker 1: is gonna blow your mind. Probably for online message boards, 425 00:22:30,400 --> 00:22:34,000 Speaker 1: like so you can follow your team more aggressively than 426 00:22:34,040 --> 00:22:37,720 Speaker 1: you ever would have otherwise, follow recruiting, coaching, everything else. 427 00:22:38,440 --> 00:22:40,040 Speaker 2: The team message boards. 428 00:22:40,920 --> 00:22:45,040 Speaker 1: They never break negative news about the team because if 429 00:22:45,119 --> 00:22:48,119 Speaker 1: they do, everybody who's a die hard fan of that 430 00:22:48,160 --> 00:22:51,280 Speaker 1: team is going to end their subscriptions. If you're a 431 00:22:51,280 --> 00:22:55,320 Speaker 1: Michigan Wolverine fan right now, you don't want for a 432 00:22:55,359 --> 00:22:59,040 Speaker 1: player to suddenly be ineligible for Michigan because of an 433 00:22:59,040 --> 00:23:03,880 Speaker 1: investigation that your team message board brought to bear, because 434 00:23:03,960 --> 00:23:05,920 Speaker 1: everybody'd be like, screw you, I want us to beat 435 00:23:05,920 --> 00:23:06,680 Speaker 1: Ohio State. 436 00:23:06,800 --> 00:23:07,600 Speaker 2: I'm out. 437 00:23:07,800 --> 00:23:11,000 Speaker 1: Okay, that's what's going on with the Washington Post in 438 00:23:11,040 --> 00:23:13,080 Speaker 1: the New York Times. They hate you, they want to 439 00:23:13,080 --> 00:23:15,600 Speaker 1: destroy you. So the idea that you would choose to 440 00:23:15,640 --> 00:23:18,600 Speaker 1: put an editorial in the Washington Post and that you 441 00:23:18,600 --> 00:23:21,280 Speaker 1: would sit down for an interview with CNN. If Sanudu 442 00:23:21,320 --> 00:23:22,800 Speaker 1: wanted to come on this show, we would have talked 443 00:23:22,840 --> 00:23:25,320 Speaker 1: to him and he would have had far more influence. 444 00:23:25,040 --> 00:23:29,800 Speaker 3: We I think we have an obligation here to have 445 00:23:29,880 --> 00:23:34,440 Speaker 3: on all of the Republican candidates and hear them out right. 446 00:23:34,560 --> 00:23:36,760 Speaker 3: I think that's what we're going to do. We've promised 447 00:23:36,760 --> 00:23:39,120 Speaker 3: from the beginning we're going to give voice to and 448 00:23:39,119 --> 00:23:43,040 Speaker 3: and you know, if RFK keeps going into. 449 00:23:42,440 --> 00:23:45,600 Speaker 1: Here, we had on what candidates period will have on Well, 450 00:23:45,640 --> 00:23:46,320 Speaker 1: that's what I'm saying. 451 00:23:46,440 --> 00:23:48,840 Speaker 3: What we'll have on you know, we'll give voice to 452 00:23:48,880 --> 00:23:51,440 Speaker 3: the candidates so you can hear because ultimately, you know, 453 00:23:51,480 --> 00:23:53,800 Speaker 3: we're just two guys with two votes. All of you, 454 00:23:53,960 --> 00:23:58,880 Speaker 3: there are millions truly millions of you listening across the country, 455 00:23:59,720 --> 00:24:03,720 Speaker 3: and this is just a moment in time where we're 456 00:24:03,760 --> 00:24:06,679 Speaker 3: figuring out what the trajectory is going to be. And 457 00:24:06,680 --> 00:24:10,320 Speaker 3: and even like I've always said, I I'm like, we 458 00:24:10,400 --> 00:24:11,760 Speaker 3: have him on the show, and I don't not try 459 00:24:11,800 --> 00:24:15,320 Speaker 3: to fan boy like I just think Rand Paul is ideologically. 460 00:24:16,200 --> 00:24:17,960 Speaker 3: I agree with him so much the time. I think 461 00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:19,600 Speaker 3: he's so great. And I thought he was a really 462 00:24:19,640 --> 00:24:22,479 Speaker 3: good voice in the Republican primary, even though he had 463 00:24:22,480 --> 00:24:24,879 Speaker 3: no chance really of winning, right, but he was a 464 00:24:24,920 --> 00:24:28,359 Speaker 3: good voice to have. It was good to hear his 465 00:24:28,520 --> 00:24:30,760 Speaker 3: perspective on these things. I think he's a very very 466 00:24:30,800 --> 00:24:33,639 Speaker 3: strong senator. There are going to be people like that. 467 00:24:33,680 --> 00:24:36,679 Speaker 3: They're going to be candidates who are out there, you know. 468 00:24:36,840 --> 00:24:38,960 Speaker 3: I think even for example, Tim Scott. We're going to 469 00:24:38,960 --> 00:24:41,560 Speaker 3: talk more about Tim Scott in a few minutes. He 470 00:24:41,600 --> 00:24:44,240 Speaker 3: went on the View. Everybody we talked about it here 471 00:24:44,280 --> 00:24:45,760 Speaker 3: on the show with Senator Scott. 472 00:24:46,119 --> 00:24:46,880 Speaker 2: He went on the View. 473 00:24:46,920 --> 00:24:50,560 Speaker 3: We'll bring you some of the highlights of that, but 474 00:24:50,880 --> 00:24:54,040 Speaker 3: just having him talk about his his inspirational story and 475 00:24:54,119 --> 00:24:57,119 Speaker 3: love for America, I think that's a voice that's worth 476 00:24:57,160 --> 00:25:00,000 Speaker 3: people hearing at this time. I think that he brings 477 00:25:00,160 --> 00:25:02,600 Speaker 3: something to that conversation. I think there'll be other people 478 00:25:03,080 --> 00:25:06,720 Speaker 3: as well. And as long as everyone's staying focused on 479 00:25:06,800 --> 00:25:10,080 Speaker 3: the eventual mission of beating Joe Biden, and I have 480 00:25:10,119 --> 00:25:14,080 Speaker 3: to keep reminding everybody, whoever the candidate is, it is 481 00:25:14,200 --> 00:25:19,439 Speaker 3: going to be very hard. The Democrats outplay our machinery 482 00:25:19,640 --> 00:25:21,879 Speaker 3: in some of the key states. It is a fact. 483 00:25:21,920 --> 00:25:26,720 Speaker 3: Anyone who runs elections in Pennsylvania, in Michigan, in Wisconsin 484 00:25:27,040 --> 00:25:29,960 Speaker 3: will tell you the same thing that I'm just talking about. 485 00:25:29,960 --> 00:25:34,240 Speaker 3: The Democrat ability to get votes in boxes. However they're 486 00:25:34,280 --> 00:25:37,159 Speaker 3: doing it. So we have to all stay united as 487 00:25:37,200 --> 00:25:39,800 Speaker 3: a team and understanding what the eventual mission is here, 488 00:25:40,119 --> 00:25:43,480 Speaker 3: which is to beat a very I know it sounds crazy. 489 00:25:43,520 --> 00:25:46,359 Speaker 3: It will be a difficult uphill climb. That's just the 490 00:25:46,440 --> 00:25:48,480 Speaker 3: nature of our politics right now. But I do want 491 00:25:48,480 --> 00:25:49,920 Speaker 3: to take some calls cause I think we should take 492 00:25:49,920 --> 00:25:52,200 Speaker 3: some calls here. I don't know if anyone's got any 493 00:25:52,200 --> 00:25:54,040 Speaker 3: thoughts on some new new running or not. Honestly, if 494 00:25:54,040 --> 00:25:55,680 Speaker 3: we got some new Hampshire heights, I know we've got 495 00:25:55,680 --> 00:25:57,800 Speaker 3: people listening up in the Granite State. 496 00:25:59,560 --> 00:26:00,359 Speaker 2: Thank you, thank you. 497 00:26:00,520 --> 00:26:02,439 Speaker 3: This is what all everybody who covers politics has to 498 00:26:02,480 --> 00:26:04,800 Speaker 3: throw you know, the show me state, the grantede state. 499 00:26:04,800 --> 00:26:06,400 Speaker 2: They got to throw that in there so people think 500 00:26:06,400 --> 00:26:07,560 Speaker 2: that they know what they're talking about. 501 00:26:08,960 --> 00:26:11,439 Speaker 3: But please do call him. But also, Mike Pence is running. 502 00:26:12,440 --> 00:26:14,119 Speaker 3: What do you guys think about that? I mean, I 503 00:26:14,119 --> 00:26:15,840 Speaker 3: really I'm putting that out there, honestly, what do you 504 00:26:15,880 --> 00:26:19,080 Speaker 3: think about Mike Pence? He's filed, he's running, he will 505 00:26:19,119 --> 00:26:21,520 Speaker 3: be in the mix, he will get more than one percent, 506 00:26:21,600 --> 00:26:24,159 Speaker 3: he will be on that debate stage. What do you 507 00:26:24,160 --> 00:26:26,439 Speaker 3: think his play is? How does that sit with all 508 00:26:26,480 --> 00:26:29,840 Speaker 3: of you?

It was just, oh man, it was so good. 556 00:28:37,920 --> 00:28:40,280 Speaker 3: It was like a therapy session to go over. He 557 00:28:40,360 --> 00:28:42,720 Speaker 3: was one of the authors of the Great Barentine Declaration. 558 00:28:43,400 --> 00:28:49,200 Speaker 3: Just talking about how from a Stanford medical school, you know, 559 00:28:49,360 --> 00:28:54,040 Speaker 3: world class medical researcher, how everything they said was wrong 560 00:28:54,080 --> 00:28:56,080 Speaker 3: and it was lies and they knew it at different 561 00:28:56,120 --> 00:28:57,680 Speaker 3: times too. That was the part that I found. They 562 00:28:57,760 --> 00:29:02,160 Speaker 3: knew they were lying to people about masks, about vaccine 563 00:29:02,160 --> 00:29:06,360 Speaker 3: stopping spread anyway. So but that's in the Clan Buck feed. 564 00:29:06,400 --> 00:29:08,000 Speaker 3: I'm just saying everyone's got to check it out.

I think everyone picked up 577 00:29:47,200 --> 00:29:48,760 Speaker 3: on it. Let's can we just go back team and 578 00:29:48,760 --> 00:29:50,920 Speaker 3: remind everybody of his response on. 579 00:29:51,080 --> 00:29:53,560 Speaker 2: This show to what Joy Behar said. 580 00:29:53,720 --> 00:29:55,920 Speaker 6: But there's no doubt a white ladies dressing up in 581 00:29:56,000 --> 00:29:59,240 Speaker 6: black face giving him black man advice probably doesn't ring 582 00:29:59,360 --> 00:30:03,480 Speaker 6: true in anyone's mind, certainly not my own. But more importantly, 583 00:30:03,800 --> 00:30:07,240 Speaker 6: I find it offensive and disgusting and dangerous for a 584 00:30:07,400 --> 00:30:11,560 Speaker 6: very different reason. I'm used to having the less attacked 585 00:30:11,640 --> 00:30:15,520 Speaker 6: me because of the truth of my life. This proves 586 00:30:15,600 --> 00:30:20,080 Speaker 6: their lives. It is literally the dumbest, most offensive thing 587 00:30:20,160 --> 00:30:27,040 Speaker 6: I've ever witnessed on TV to hear these millionaire TV 588 00:30:27,240 --> 00:30:31,320 Speaker 6: personalities telling me how to live my life as a 589 00:30:31,320 --> 00:30:36,400 Speaker 6: black man, but more importantly suggesting to every child, stay 590 00:30:36,440 --> 00:30:41,640 Speaker 6: in your place, follow my lead, for you too will 591 00:30:41,680 --> 00:30:45,600 Speaker 6: reap the same harvest of Tim Scott or Clarence Thomas 592 00:30:45,720 --> 00:30:51,200 Speaker 6: or any other conservative who dares dares to think for themselves. 593 00:30:51,760 --> 00:30:54,040 Speaker 3: So that was last Tuesday. We were off because of 594 00:30:54,040 --> 00:30:55,720 Speaker 3: a moral day. It was last Tuesday. Who was on 595 00:30:55,760 --> 00:30:56,120 Speaker 3: the show? 596 00:30:56,640 --> 00:30:57,280 Speaker 2: Uh play? 597 00:30:57,320 --> 00:30:59,840 Speaker 3: I thought that was strong but this and we're so 598 00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:01,800 Speaker 3: hope we're glad that he got to say it here 599 00:31:01,800 --> 00:31:03,720 Speaker 3: on this platform to all of you across the country. 600 00:31:04,600 --> 00:31:06,960 Speaker 3: The View, I don't know, maybe the View got called 601 00:31:06,960 --> 00:31:09,800 Speaker 3: out so much by their own audience on this one, 602 00:31:09,960 --> 00:31:12,760 Speaker 3: or something happened, or they just realized it was it 603 00:31:12,760 --> 00:31:13,960 Speaker 3: was an opportunity for ratings. 604 00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:17,080 Speaker 2: The View invited senators. Why don't they invite Clay and 605 00:31:17,120 --> 00:31:17,480 Speaker 2: Buck on. 606 00:31:17,800 --> 00:31:20,560 Speaker 3: That would be a show, that would be a It'd 607 00:31:20,560 --> 00:31:22,920 Speaker 3: be a show if Liz Chady came on here to 608 00:31:22,960 --> 00:31:25,840 Speaker 3: talk to us. It would be a show if they 609 00:31:25,880 --> 00:31:27,480 Speaker 3: had us on the View. I can tell you that, 610 00:31:28,560 --> 00:31:32,040 Speaker 3: but here is Senator Tim Scott. Here is Senator Tim 611 00:31:32,040 --> 00:31:34,280 Speaker 3: Scott sitting down on the view. We wanted you to 612 00:31:34,320 --> 00:31:36,680 Speaker 3: hear this. Clay and I agree. This is not a 613 00:31:36,720 --> 00:31:39,720 Speaker 3: home run. This is a grand slam moment for him 614 00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:40,320 Speaker 3: play it. 615 00:31:40,640 --> 00:31:42,280 Speaker 7: One of the things that I think about, and one 616 00:31:42,320 --> 00:31:43,840 Speaker 7: of the reasons why I'm on the show, is because 617 00:31:43,840 --> 00:31:45,600 Speaker 7: of the comments that were made frankly on the show 618 00:31:45,640 --> 00:31:48,280 Speaker 7: that the only way for a young African American kid 619 00:31:48,320 --> 00:31:50,720 Speaker 7: to be successful in this country is to be the 620 00:31:50,800 --> 00:31:53,800 Speaker 7: exception and not the role. That is a dangerous, offensive, 621 00:31:53,960 --> 00:31:56,720 Speaker 7: disgusting message to send to our young people today, that 622 00:31:56,800 --> 00:32:00,520 Speaker 7: the only way to succeed is by being the I 623 00:32:00,520 --> 00:32:02,560 Speaker 7: will tell you that if my life is the exception, 624 00:32:02,880 --> 00:32:03,640 Speaker 7: I can't imagine. 625 00:32:03,680 --> 00:32:04,800 Speaker 2: I can't. But it's not. 626 00:32:04,840 --> 00:32:07,040 Speaker 4: Actually here's here's fourteen years. 627 00:32:07,120 --> 00:32:09,040 Speaker 7: Yes. So the fact of the matter is we've had 628 00:32:09,040 --> 00:32:12,280 Speaker 7: an African American president, African American vice president, We've had 629 00:32:12,320 --> 00:32:14,840 Speaker 7: two African Americans to be Secretaries of the State. 630 00:32:15,840 --> 00:32:19,720 Speaker 2: And he keeps going. It's phenomenal. We shared this clip. 631 00:32:19,720 --> 00:32:21,800 Speaker 1: I'm sure it'll be up on clayanbuck dot com if 632 00:32:21,840 --> 00:32:26,400 Speaker 1: you want to go listen to it. So this is phenomenal, right, 633 00:32:26,640 --> 00:32:30,800 Speaker 1: because the message that Tim Scott is sharing is that 634 00:32:30,880 --> 00:32:34,360 Speaker 1: the progress the country has made is massive as it 635 00:32:34,400 --> 00:32:38,880 Speaker 1: pertains to race relations and also to opportunity in general. 636 00:32:39,400 --> 00:32:42,440 Speaker 1: And one of the craziest things that has happened, and 637 00:32:42,480 --> 00:32:46,600 Speaker 1: this is a big story, is in the wake of 638 00:32:46,760 --> 00:32:49,920 Speaker 1: Barack Obama's two terms as president two thousand and eight 639 00:32:50,000 --> 00:32:55,880 Speaker 1: twenty twelve, race relations have collapsed in the last decade 640 00:32:55,960 --> 00:32:58,959 Speaker 1: or so. A lot of different theories about why that 641 00:32:59,040 --> 00:33:01,400 Speaker 1: might be. I'm sure many of you out there listening 642 00:33:01,480 --> 00:33:04,200 Speaker 1: have theories. God is Buck. 643 00:33:04,320 --> 00:33:04,640 Speaker 2: Yeah. 644 00:33:04,800 --> 00:33:07,200 Speaker 3: Now, I was gonna say, I don't think race relations 645 00:33:07,200 --> 00:33:09,720 Speaker 3: have collapsed. I think the media pretends that race relations 646 00:33:09,760 --> 00:33:11,479 Speaker 3: have collapsed, you know what I mean. It's a difference thing. 647 00:33:11,480 --> 00:33:13,680 Speaker 3: So that's what I'm getting. Yes, that's a good point. 648 00:33:14,520 --> 00:33:17,880 Speaker 1: And in fact, if you look at the data, the 649 00:33:18,040 --> 00:33:22,959 Speaker 1: media has so negatively I think impacted our perceptions of 650 00:33:23,040 --> 00:33:26,960 Speaker 1: race relations that many people do believe. Now, for instance, 651 00:33:27,600 --> 00:33:29,280 Speaker 1: I believe it's a Gallup poll that came out we 652 00:33:29,320 --> 00:33:32,280 Speaker 1: talked about on the show around the year two thousand, 653 00:33:32,760 --> 00:33:36,040 Speaker 1: something like seventy some odd percent of people thought race 654 00:33:36,120 --> 00:33:40,120 Speaker 1: relations in the country were generally good and about twenty 655 00:33:40,160 --> 00:33:42,600 Speaker 1: some odd percent said race relations were bad. This is 656 00:33:42,640 --> 00:33:47,000 Speaker 1: around two thousand. This is twenty three years ago. Now 657 00:33:47,600 --> 00:33:51,200 Speaker 1: over half of Americans believe race relations in this country 658 00:33:51,240 --> 00:33:53,440 Speaker 1: are bad. I think the media is a big part 659 00:33:53,480 --> 00:33:56,120 Speaker 1: of that, and I also think buck My theory here 660 00:33:56,200 --> 00:33:58,360 Speaker 1: for what happened was you go back and look at 661 00:33:58,400 --> 00:34:01,160 Speaker 1: two thousand and eight Obama. It is America is such 662 00:34:01,160 --> 00:34:04,239 Speaker 1: an amazing country that even I, a mixed race kid 663 00:34:04,240 --> 00:34:07,480 Speaker 1: from Hawaii, can get elected president. That was the message 664 00:34:07,520 --> 00:34:08,680 Speaker 1: of two thousand and eight Obama. 665 00:34:08,960 --> 00:34:09,280 Speaker 2: Okay. 666 00:34:10,120 --> 00:34:14,800 Speaker 1: By twoenty twelve, there was more of a racial pitch 667 00:34:14,880 --> 00:34:20,040 Speaker 1: to Obama's campaigning. By twenty sixteen, Democrats were all in 668 00:34:20,120 --> 00:34:24,320 Speaker 1: on identity politics. So the lesson they took from Barack 669 00:34:24,360 --> 00:34:28,360 Speaker 1: Obama's election was the only reason Obama won was because 670 00:34:28,400 --> 00:34:32,000 Speaker 1: he was black, and therefore we must have identity politics. 671 00:34:32,000 --> 00:34:36,120 Speaker 1: Whether it's Hillary going out there and saying I'm with her, right, 672 00:34:36,200 --> 00:34:38,759 Speaker 1: you're a woman, you have to support me because you're 673 00:34:38,800 --> 00:34:43,080 Speaker 1: a woman. And then by twenty twenty, Joe Biden, super 674 00:34:43,120 --> 00:34:46,400 Speaker 1: old white guy, is arguing, hey, if you're not with me, 675 00:34:46,520 --> 00:34:49,239 Speaker 1: you ain't black, that the Republicans will put you back 676 00:34:49,239 --> 00:34:53,719 Speaker 1: in chains. Kamala Harris's entire choice was based on her 677 00:34:53,719 --> 00:34:56,239 Speaker 1: being a black female, and they even made an explicit 678 00:34:56,320 --> 00:34:59,319 Speaker 1: buck Biden promised to put a black woman on the 679 00:34:59,320 --> 00:35:03,000 Speaker 1: Supreme Court, something we've never seen before, based entirely on 680 00:35:03,080 --> 00:35:04,120 Speaker 1: identity politics. 681 00:35:04,239 --> 00:35:07,759 Speaker 3: I would say that, first of all, it's just, you know, 682 00:35:07,800 --> 00:35:10,239 Speaker 3: it's kind of a theme today people who say things 683 00:35:10,280 --> 00:35:14,640 Speaker 3: that we all know to be true. It you feel it, 684 00:35:14,640 --> 00:35:17,560 Speaker 3: it inspires you it. There's sort of a calm that 685 00:35:17,640 --> 00:35:20,960 Speaker 3: comes over you go, yes, that's right. And what Senator 686 00:35:20,960 --> 00:35:25,640 Speaker 3: Scott said, they're on the view about the tremendous progress 687 00:35:25,719 --> 00:35:31,200 Speaker 3: that the left effectively denies for Black Americans and on 688 00:35:31,280 --> 00:35:35,879 Speaker 3: all Americans toward a meritocracy. In fact, what we have 689 00:35:35,960 --> 00:35:39,480 Speaker 3: now is the left openly going against meritocracy. Right, the 690 00:35:39,560 --> 00:35:43,080 Speaker 3: left actually wants there to be a spoil system based 691 00:35:43,120 --> 00:35:48,239 Speaker 3: on race, gender, but it's a spoil system against particularly 692 00:35:48,480 --> 00:35:51,640 Speaker 3: white males. That's actually the system that the Demo and Asians. 693 00:35:52,000 --> 00:35:54,560 Speaker 3: I would note, that's what they want for affirmative action 694 00:35:54,640 --> 00:35:56,480 Speaker 3: in college, that's what they want for hiring, and that 695 00:35:56,560 --> 00:35:59,320 Speaker 3: is the reality of America today. But put that aside 696 00:35:59,360 --> 00:36:01,920 Speaker 3: for a moment. He's saying something that is true. Do 697 00:36:02,040 --> 00:36:03,640 Speaker 3: I think that this is going through This goes back 698 00:36:03,640 --> 00:36:06,080 Speaker 3: to our earlier discussion are we going to see a 699 00:36:06,120 --> 00:36:09,319 Speaker 3: major change in the black vote in twenty twenty four. 700 00:36:10,719 --> 00:36:13,520 Speaker 3: Let's just assume for a second, even Tim Scott was 701 00:36:13,560 --> 00:36:17,440 Speaker 3: the nominee, or he's just able to have powerful messaging 702 00:36:17,480 --> 00:36:20,799 Speaker 3: in the GOP all along, history would tell you no, 703 00:36:21,160 --> 00:36:23,760 Speaker 3: that it's not going to happen at all. That said, 704 00:36:24,280 --> 00:36:28,000 Speaker 3: there may be people of all you know, of different races, 705 00:36:28,080 --> 00:36:31,880 Speaker 3: black voters, white voters, who just from hearing from a 706 00:36:31,920 --> 00:36:35,880 Speaker 3: man like Tim Scott about the truth of America today, 707 00:36:36,239 --> 00:36:41,120 Speaker 3: the Democrat moral blackmailing, They engage in the sort of 708 00:36:41,160 --> 00:36:45,280 Speaker 3: moral demagoguery of if you don't vote Democrat, you're a racist. 709 00:36:46,160 --> 00:36:47,400 Speaker 2: That may be less effective. 710 00:36:47,840 --> 00:36:49,879 Speaker 3: Yeah, So that's the only way that I could see 711 00:36:49,880 --> 00:36:52,400 Speaker 3: it from an electoral perspective, because the more people see this, 712 00:36:52,400 --> 00:36:55,520 Speaker 3: the more they realize what are they really talking about? 713 00:36:55,560 --> 00:36:58,160 Speaker 3: What are they really saying when they're claiming that this 714 00:36:58,280 --> 00:37:01,840 Speaker 3: country is fundamentally racist and they've expanded the definition of 715 00:37:01,880 --> 00:37:05,880 Speaker 3: white supremacy to include anything in society that is unequal, 716 00:37:06,239 --> 00:37:11,319 Speaker 3: What are they talking about? Basically, if their identity politics 717 00:37:11,400 --> 00:37:14,279 Speaker 3: pitch is even a little bit less effective. That could have, 718 00:37:14,800 --> 00:37:16,680 Speaker 3: That could have some effect. I don't see, though, a 719 00:37:16,719 --> 00:37:20,160 Speaker 3: substantial change in I shouldnt even say I don't see. 720 00:37:20,280 --> 00:37:22,880 Speaker 2: There's no basis historically for it. But it might change 721 00:37:22,880 --> 00:37:25,320 Speaker 2: this time around, the black vote shifting more toward Republicans. 722 00:37:25,320 --> 00:37:28,120 Speaker 1: I mean, it'd be great, But I think it's an 723 00:37:28,120 --> 00:37:29,080 Speaker 1: intriguing debate. 724 00:37:29,560 --> 00:37:29,799 Speaker 2: Buck. 725 00:37:29,920 --> 00:37:31,920 Speaker 1: So, first of all, Tim Scott, a lot of what 726 00:37:32,000 --> 00:37:34,680 Speaker 1: he says is similar to what Obama said in two 727 00:37:34,680 --> 00:37:38,439 Speaker 1: thousand and eight, and the view loved Obama in two 728 00:37:38,480 --> 00:37:41,280 Speaker 1: thousand and eight, and they try to call out Tim Scott. 729 00:37:41,360 --> 00:37:46,280 Speaker 1: But here's the here's sort of the existential issue at play. 730 00:37:46,760 --> 00:37:48,960 Speaker 1: And I don't claim to know the answer, but everybody 731 00:37:49,000 --> 00:37:51,520 Speaker 1: out there can think about this. How do you destroy 732 00:37:51,640 --> 00:37:52,920 Speaker 1: identity politics? 733 00:37:53,280 --> 00:37:53,480 Speaker 2: Right? 734 00:37:53,960 --> 00:37:57,680 Speaker 1: Identity politics is a toxic cancer, in my opinion, in 735 00:37:57,719 --> 00:38:02,080 Speaker 1: the American body politic, and it is entirely the foundation 736 00:38:02,160 --> 00:38:03,439 Speaker 1: of the Democrat Party right now. 737 00:38:03,520 --> 00:38:06,760 Speaker 3: So I actually think that it's a function in part Clay, 738 00:38:07,719 --> 00:38:09,920 Speaker 3: I think it has to do with laws. I think 739 00:38:10,000 --> 00:38:12,080 Speaker 3: you have to have. I think the Supreme Court decision 740 00:38:12,080 --> 00:38:13,719 Speaker 3: that's coming in a matter of weeks here, which we 741 00:38:13,760 --> 00:38:16,320 Speaker 3: haven't really talked about, will be a substantial step in 742 00:38:16,360 --> 00:38:19,040 Speaker 3: the right direction, because what we have now is a 743 00:38:19,040 --> 00:38:21,440 Speaker 3: system of and this is from a Supreme Court decision. 744 00:38:21,440 --> 00:38:23,160 Speaker 3: I can't remember if it was a Ldo or Roberts. 745 00:38:23,160 --> 00:38:26,760 Speaker 3: One of them said, the racial spoil system that affirmative 746 00:38:26,760 --> 00:38:29,640 Speaker 3: action has created, that has trickled down not just to 747 00:38:29,719 --> 00:38:34,240 Speaker 3: college admissions, but also in hiring for corporations across America, 748 00:38:35,120 --> 00:38:39,080 Speaker 3: in government grants that are minority specific. You have to 749 00:38:39,120 --> 00:38:41,560 Speaker 3: eliminate these things as a matter of law or else. 750 00:38:41,560 --> 00:38:44,320 Speaker 3: Everything else we talk about just feels like rhetoric because 751 00:38:44,360 --> 00:38:49,040 Speaker 3: the system is in place to perpetuate the identity politics 752 00:38:49,040 --> 00:38:53,600 Speaker 3: system that only benefits Democrats because it is antithetical to 753 00:38:53,880 --> 00:38:56,840 Speaker 3: Republican and conservative philosophy, which is, we treat every individual 754 00:38:57,000 --> 00:39:00,000 Speaker 3: as an individual created in God's image, with the same rights, dignity, 755 00:39:00,480 --> 00:39:03,879 Speaker 3: and worth as everybody else. No one's more, no one's less. 756 00:39:03,920 --> 00:39:07,040 Speaker 3: The law cannot treat them differently. They don't view it 757 00:39:07,080 --> 00:39:07,439 Speaker 3: that way. 758 00:39:08,040 --> 00:39:11,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, And I think implicit in the Senator Tim Scott 759 00:39:11,200 --> 00:39:14,920 Speaker 1: and Nicky Haley candidacy, ironically, given that both are coming 760 00:39:15,000 --> 00:39:20,479 Speaker 1: from South Carolina, is that they reject identity politics by 761 00:39:20,719 --> 00:39:23,359 Speaker 1: exploding it. This would be their argument on some level. 762 00:39:23,400 --> 00:39:25,759 Speaker 1: I don't know that they would make it explicitly, but 763 00:39:26,120 --> 00:39:30,040 Speaker 1: it's hard to argue that Republicans are the party of 764 00:39:30,040 --> 00:39:33,080 Speaker 1: white supremacy if again, this would be part of the 765 00:39:33,080 --> 00:39:36,560 Speaker 1: premise of their candidacy, if Tim Scott or Nicky Haley 766 00:39:36,719 --> 00:39:41,040 Speaker 1: is on that ticket. Now, the challenge to me is 767 00:39:41,080 --> 00:39:46,919 Speaker 1: that this is the essence of the race. Do Tim 768 00:39:46,960 --> 00:39:50,160 Speaker 1: Scott or Nicky Haley, given that they're from South Carolina 769 00:39:50,600 --> 00:39:54,080 Speaker 1: change the electoral calculus? I'm not sure that the VP does. 770 00:39:54,160 --> 00:39:59,560 Speaker 1: If Tim Scott buck were from Arizona or Georgia or Pennsylvania, 771 00:39:59,640 --> 00:40:03,160 Speaker 1: I would like the dude has to be the VP nominee, right, 772 00:40:03,200 --> 00:40:05,160 Speaker 1: same thing for Nicky Haley on some level, because they 773 00:40:05,160 --> 00:40:07,360 Speaker 1: can put you over the edge and maybe in those states, 774 00:40:07,960 --> 00:40:09,880 Speaker 1: but you're gonna win South Carolina by twenty. 775 00:40:10,480 --> 00:40:16,080 Speaker 3: But the most historically, the most consistent voting pattern you 776 00:40:16,160 --> 00:40:20,680 Speaker 3: can really find for any if you're looking at race, age, demographic, 777 00:40:20,719 --> 00:40:24,920 Speaker 3: gonna list the black vote for the Democrats stretch. I mean, 778 00:40:25,400 --> 00:40:27,359 Speaker 3: does anyone want to guess what percentage of the black 779 00:40:27,440 --> 00:40:32,479 Speaker 3: vote went for a Gore in two thousand versus Bush ninety? Yeah, 780 00:40:32,520 --> 00:40:36,000 Speaker 3: it is a ninety ten proposition and has been for 781 00:40:36,080 --> 00:40:38,239 Speaker 3: over twenty I mean longer than that. I'm just going 782 00:40:38,239 --> 00:40:41,160 Speaker 3: back to two thousand. But we have not found a 783 00:40:41,160 --> 00:40:43,120 Speaker 3: way to break that. We have not found a way 784 00:40:43,160 --> 00:40:46,319 Speaker 3: to change that dynamic. And I think it's hard as well, 785 00:40:46,320 --> 00:40:49,880 Speaker 3: because the Democrats realize that that just mean that's like 786 00:40:49,960 --> 00:40:52,200 Speaker 3: them taking Texas and making it blue. Right, then it's 787 00:40:52,239 --> 00:40:54,640 Speaker 3: game over. If the if the black. 788 00:40:54,440 --> 00:40:58,280 Speaker 1: Voters seventy thirty, their their entire campaign, their entire Identity 789 00:40:58,320 --> 00:41:00,080 Speaker 1: Politics coalition disappear. 790 00:41:00,360 --> 00:41:01,560 Speaker 2: Eighty twenty, they're done. 791 00:41:01,640 --> 00:41:04,839 Speaker 3: But I'm just saying, historically this has been absolutely impossible, 792 00:41:04,840 --> 00:41:06,399 Speaker 3: and so to think that it will change this time 793 00:41:06,440 --> 00:41:10,600 Speaker 3: around is going against But it's kind of we got 794 00:41:10,600 --> 00:41:12,920 Speaker 3: some we should get some of the vip emails. Then 795 00:41:12,960 --> 00:41:14,840 Speaker 3: everyone's yelling at me. They're saying, so what if a 796 00:41:14,880 --> 00:41:17,840 Speaker 3: primary challenge has never worked in history? Biden is the 797 00:41:17,840 --> 00:41:20,480 Speaker 3: worst ever. I'm like, okay, guys, I'm just telling you 798 00:41:20,640 --> 00:41:24,320 Speaker 3: historical examples. I mean, I don't no one can predict 799 00:41:24,400 --> 00:41:25,040 Speaker 3: the future. 800 00:41:25,200 --> 00:41:28,040 Speaker 2: I keep saying this. I don't think I can. No 801 00:41:28,120 --> 00:41:28,640 Speaker 2: one can. 802 00:41:28,960 --> 00:41:31,640 Speaker 3: But if you look historically, it's been fifty years and 803 00:41:31,680 --> 00:41:35,640 Speaker 3: no incumbent president has ever lost a primary challenge. 804 00:41:35,680 --> 00:41:38,600 Speaker 1: It it would work, he would not lose buck, he 805 00:41:38,640 --> 00:41:42,560 Speaker 1: would withdraw and blame health. But if the challenge was 806 00:41:42,840 --> 00:41:45,960 Speaker 1: moving in a direction where it could potentially be successful, 807 00:41:46,239 --> 00:41:48,880 Speaker 1: I think that's what would happen. But man, this is 808 00:41:49,080 --> 00:41:52,440 Speaker 1: uh Tim Scott going into the lions Den. Yeah and 809 00:41:52,800 --> 00:41:55,880 Speaker 1: basically rising up and dunking on the View.

The New 903 00:46:18,200 --> 00:46:20,879 Speaker 8: York Times Bestseller list is obviously a thing you want 904 00:46:21,040 --> 00:46:24,920 Speaker 8: because it's bragging rights, essentially, and everyone knows how much 905 00:46:24,920 --> 00:46:26,640 Speaker 8: I love to brag. It's one of my favorite things 906 00:46:26,680 --> 00:46:29,160 Speaker 8: to do is talk about myself and brag about myself. 907 00:46:29,480 --> 00:46:30,760 Speaker 2: That said, it's. 908 00:46:30,600 --> 00:46:33,359 Speaker 8: Also well known that if you're someone on the right 909 00:46:33,400 --> 00:46:36,160 Speaker 8: writing a book, you really have to sell so many 910 00:46:36,320 --> 00:46:38,440 Speaker 8: that they have no choice that they look stupid if 911 00:46:38,480 --> 00:46:39,880 Speaker 8: they keep you off the list. 912 00:46:40,160 --> 00:46:42,680 Speaker 2: So am I going to make the list? I don't know. 913 00:46:43,120 --> 00:46:45,560 Speaker 8: I guess right now it's killing it. I guess we'll 914 00:46:45,600 --> 00:46:48,120 Speaker 8: find out if you want to get it or information 915 00:46:48,200 --> 00:46:49,879 Speaker 8: on the book tour, or if you want to sign 916 00:46:50,000 --> 00:46:51,840 Speaker 8: copy and you want to try to stick it to 917 00:46:51,840 --> 00:46:55,040 Speaker 8: the New York Times Jesse kellybook dot com. I should 918 00:46:55,040 --> 00:46:57,239 Speaker 8: have gave that out earlier. That's where people go for it. 919 00:46:57,480 --> 00:46:59,360 Speaker 8: So the answer to that question is, I don't know, Seth. 920 00:46:59,400 --> 00:47:00,320 Speaker 2: I hope Nope. 921 00:47:00,400 --> 00:47:02,000 Speaker 8: Right, If I don't, It's not like I'm going to 922 00:47:02,080 --> 00:47:03,800 Speaker 8: cry myself to sleep. But that's always a goal. I 923 00:47:03,840 --> 00:47:05,480 Speaker 8: wanted to sell as many as I can. 924 00:47:05,960 --> 00:47:09,640 Speaker 1: Yeah, speaking to what Jesse has done and is referencing here, 925 00:47:10,000 --> 00:47:12,919 Speaker 1: if you write a book that is not super left wing, 926 00:47:13,320 --> 00:47:14,960 Speaker 1: there's a lot of people out there who believe the 927 00:47:15,000 --> 00:47:19,640 Speaker 1: New York Times Bestseller List actually reflects the most purchased books. 928 00:47:19,360 --> 00:47:20,280 Speaker 2: In any given week. 929 00:47:20,480 --> 00:47:24,440 Speaker 1: It doesn't have a collection of super left wing bookstores 930 00:47:24,880 --> 00:47:27,960 Speaker 1: that they then create an algorithm with. And this I 931 00:47:27,960 --> 00:47:29,799 Speaker 1: didn't know this until I wrote my last book. 932 00:47:29,840 --> 00:47:30,120 Speaker 2: Jesse. 933 00:47:30,560 --> 00:47:33,520 Speaker 1: I was I think number five or six overall for 934 00:47:33,640 --> 00:47:38,040 Speaker 1: most sold copies in twenty eighteen, and I didn't make 935 00:47:38,080 --> 00:47:40,879 Speaker 1: the top twenty New York Times bestseller list. 936 00:47:41,040 --> 00:47:44,720 Speaker 3: And you know why they don't include Amazon in the sales. 937 00:47:44,719 --> 00:47:47,200 Speaker 3: Oh yeah, that's correct. So so start with the place 938 00:47:47,200 --> 00:47:50,480 Speaker 3: where people buy the most books by far, if you're 939 00:47:50,480 --> 00:47:53,080 Speaker 3: buying physical books, is Amazon. They don't include that in 940 00:47:53,080 --> 00:47:55,200 Speaker 3: the list, and they do it based on, you know, 941 00:47:55,520 --> 00:47:59,960 Speaker 3: a collection of bookstores owned by blue haired cat ladies 942 00:48:00,200 --> 00:48:02,040 Speaker 3: who some of them, by the way, listen to our 943 00:48:02,040 --> 00:48:03,680 Speaker 3: show and a right wing and we love them. But 944 00:48:03,760 --> 00:48:06,959 Speaker 3: these are the left wing variety. So Jesse that road. 945 00:48:07,239 --> 00:48:11,440 Speaker 3: It's a road challenge, of course, and that's kind of 946 00:48:11,480 --> 00:48:13,920 Speaker 3: the thing. Can you sell it would be nice more 947 00:48:13,960 --> 00:48:16,279 Speaker 3: than bragging rights, more than anything else. It would be 948 00:48:16,360 --> 00:48:18,439 Speaker 3: nice to stick it to them like that, to sell 949 00:48:18,520 --> 00:48:20,759 Speaker 3: so many that just out of shame, out of the 950 00:48:21,080 --> 00:48:22,840 Speaker 3: for the credibility of the list. 951 00:48:22,840 --> 00:48:24,759 Speaker 8: They would have to put it on the list. So 952 00:48:24,880 --> 00:48:27,719 Speaker 8: of course you want that. Anyone with any ambition wants that. 953 00:48:28,000 --> 00:48:30,080 Speaker 8: Whether that'll happen or not, I don't know. Look, I 954 00:48:30,120 --> 00:48:31,680 Speaker 8: want people to read it and learn from it. That's 955 00:48:31,719 --> 00:48:32,280 Speaker 8: what I want. 956 00:48:32,560 --> 00:48:35,200 Speaker 1: The other thing that's important is Buck and Jesse and 957 00:48:35,239 --> 00:48:38,040 Speaker 1: everybody out there listening. A lot of bookstores that are 958 00:48:38,080 --> 00:48:41,799 Speaker 1: physical in nature put the New York Times bestsellers in 959 00:48:41,880 --> 00:48:44,359 Speaker 1: the front of a store, so people might not know 960 00:48:44,400 --> 00:48:47,320 Speaker 1: who you are. And if you're on that list. Suddenly, 961 00:48:47,320 --> 00:48:49,759 Speaker 1: when you walk into a bookstore, your book is there, 962 00:48:49,840 --> 00:48:53,040 Speaker 1: easy accessed, easy to see. Somebody might pick it up 963 00:48:53,080 --> 00:48:55,200 Speaker 1: that otherwise wouldn't. That's the other reason it has a 964 00:48:55,200 --> 00:48:55,880 Speaker 1: lot of impact. 965 00:48:56,440 --> 00:48:59,560 Speaker 3: Charles, Yeah, that's one of the Wait, wait, hold on second, 966 00:48:59,640 --> 00:49:01,759 Speaker 3: Jesse Als in Miami wants to weigh in with you. 967 00:49:01,840 --> 00:49:03,000 Speaker 2: Charles, what do you have for Jesse? 968 00:49:03,440 --> 00:49:06,920 Speaker 9: Hey, gentlemen, good afternoon, Jesse. Sorry about your hairline there. 969 00:49:07,080 --> 00:49:12,960 Speaker 9: You know, I know you're talking. You're still growing growing 970 00:49:13,000 --> 00:49:16,799 Speaker 9: out of your hair. But anyway, I just wanted to 971 00:49:16,800 --> 00:49:20,520 Speaker 9: get your thoughts. Maybe I'm being overly pessimistic. I'm worried 972 00:49:20,520 --> 00:49:24,120 Speaker 9: about Texas with all these illegals there, and I think 973 00:49:24,239 --> 00:49:28,240 Speaker 9: if electoral college wise goes, if Texas goes, we're done. 974 00:49:28,520 --> 00:49:32,640 Speaker 9: And if you look at the county map of Lower Texas, 975 00:49:32,719 --> 00:49:35,120 Speaker 9: a lot of that has already changed blue. And I 976 00:49:35,200 --> 00:49:36,280 Speaker 9: just wanted to get your feedback. 977 00:49:36,280 --> 00:49:39,279 Speaker 8: Commen, No, it's a it's a very good question. Let 978 00:49:39,320 --> 00:49:41,960 Speaker 8: me ease your fears though. Look, it's okay to be 979 00:49:42,000 --> 00:49:44,759 Speaker 8: worried about Texas, because you're right. Electorally, if we lose 980 00:49:44,760 --> 00:49:47,600 Speaker 8: the state of Texas, we're finished. But Texas is going 981 00:49:47,680 --> 00:49:50,200 Speaker 8: to be just fine. And let me explain why we 982 00:49:50,320 --> 00:49:53,320 Speaker 8: worry about people moving from blue states to red states 983 00:49:53,360 --> 00:49:55,640 Speaker 8: because we say, I don't bring your politics with you. 984 00:49:55,960 --> 00:49:58,040 Speaker 8: But the truth is, at least here in Texas, and 985 00:49:58,120 --> 00:50:00,719 Speaker 8: I know this from data from friend I have within 986 00:50:00,760 --> 00:50:02,360 Speaker 8: the state, so this is not me guessing. 987 00:50:02,440 --> 00:50:03,000 Speaker 2: I know this. 988 00:50:03,760 --> 00:50:06,800 Speaker 8: Over sixty percent of the people who move from blue 989 00:50:06,840 --> 00:50:10,839 Speaker 8: states to red states and come to Texas are voting Republican. 990 00:50:11,280 --> 00:50:13,840 Speaker 8: So yes, are we getting Democrats in that group. Yes, 991 00:50:14,080 --> 00:50:17,480 Speaker 8: But the truth is humans are migrating as human beings 992 00:50:17,560 --> 00:50:21,000 Speaker 8: always have, so they can live under their values. They 993 00:50:21,000 --> 00:50:23,640 Speaker 8: want to live around people who share their values. When 994 00:50:23,680 --> 00:50:26,360 Speaker 8: people leave from blue to red. I know it's common 995 00:50:26,360 --> 00:50:28,080 Speaker 8: to complain about it when you're one of the people 996 00:50:28,080 --> 00:50:31,160 Speaker 8: who's already there, But the truth is it's making your 997 00:50:31,280 --> 00:50:35,680 Speaker 8: red state stronger. It is, and I understand that the 998 00:50:35,800 --> 00:50:38,760 Speaker 8: concern because what happens is you get these idiot GOP 999 00:50:38,920 --> 00:50:41,840 Speaker 8: governors who say, oh, bring your big business there, and 1000 00:50:41,920 --> 00:50:45,640 Speaker 8: the business comes with ten thousand employees, and those are Democrats. 1001 00:50:45,719 --> 00:50:48,800 Speaker 8: So that's generally a bad idea. But when people migrate 1002 00:50:48,880 --> 00:50:51,680 Speaker 8: on their own, when people move on their own, it 1003 00:50:51,800 --> 00:50:54,000 Speaker 8: actually helps your state and if you're in a red 1004 00:50:54,040 --> 00:50:55,480 Speaker 8: state and want to keep it that way. 1005 00:50:55,320 --> 00:50:56,279 Speaker 2: You should encourage it. 1006 00:50:56,600 --> 00:50:58,560 Speaker 3: Here's some data, Jesse, to back up what you're saying. 1007 00:50:58,560 --> 00:51:03,600 Speaker 3: In Florida, where I live, they had a Democrat advantage 1008 00:51:03,600 --> 00:51:06,680 Speaker 3: in registration, which is amazing to think about. In twenty 1009 00:51:06,719 --> 00:51:10,560 Speaker 3: eighteen when that election happened, which was a razor razor 1010 00:51:10,640 --> 00:51:14,280 Speaker 3: thin governor's election, Democrats had a two hundred and fifty 1011 00:51:14,680 --> 00:51:20,400 Speaker 3: thousand registered voter advantage Republicans as of this year. As 1012 00:51:20,480 --> 00:51:23,080 Speaker 3: of this I think it was certainly the first quarter 1013 00:51:23,160 --> 00:51:27,480 Speaker 3: of this year had about a half a million advantage. 1014 00:51:27,719 --> 00:51:29,200 Speaker 3: So this switch, I think it might be a three 1015 00:51:29,280 --> 00:51:32,080 Speaker 3: or four hundred thousand now something like that. The switch 1016 00:51:32,840 --> 00:51:35,839 Speaker 3: is massive, and so the inflow of Florida has been 1017 00:51:35,960 --> 00:51:40,040 Speaker 3: overwhelmingly Republican. There's also some registration efforts in the state 1018 00:51:40,080 --> 00:51:41,839 Speaker 3: for people that were already here that are part of that, 1019 00:51:42,120 --> 00:51:44,879 Speaker 3: but a lot of it is red state. People living 1020 00:51:44,880 --> 00:51:47,040 Speaker 3: in blue states say, how about trying a red state? 1021 00:51:47,080 --> 00:51:47,279 Speaker 6: Now? 1022 00:51:48,400 --> 00:51:53,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, just Ania state concern Jesse and Texas, you and Florida, 1023 00:51:53,120 --> 00:51:53,960 Speaker 1: me and Tennessee. 1024 00:51:54,560 --> 00:51:57,160 Speaker 2: I think it's made it way redder everywhere. Jesse. 1025 00:51:57,280 --> 00:51:58,759 Speaker 1: I bet that's what you're seeing. You kind of hinted 1026 00:51:58,800 --> 00:52:00,960 Speaker 1: at that with the data from ten As well. 1027 00:52:01,640 --> 00:52:04,240 Speaker 8: Well, yeah, it's everywhere. We do not see a massive 1028 00:52:04,280 --> 00:52:06,720 Speaker 8: influx of democrats here. And in fact, this is why 1029 00:52:07,000 --> 00:52:09,480 Speaker 8: I talk about anti communism. This is why these red 1030 00:52:09,480 --> 00:52:12,279 Speaker 8: states like Tennessee and Florida. Well, Florida has been better 1031 00:52:12,280 --> 00:52:15,400 Speaker 8: about this, Texas, Texas has sucked at this. They should 1032 00:52:15,440 --> 00:52:19,760 Speaker 8: be passing laws, these anti communist laws, just to drive 1033 00:52:19,800 --> 00:52:22,839 Speaker 8: the communists crazy. And this is what I mean.

People will argue 1036 00:52:28,120 --> 00:52:30,399 Speaker 8: back and forth about abortion. But if you pass one 1037 00:52:30,400 --> 00:52:33,640 Speaker 8: of these laws, you will find the commedies you don't 1038 00:52:33,680 --> 00:52:36,960 Speaker 8: want in your state will self deport they will.
