1 00:00:00,640 --> 00:00:04,640 Speaker 1: Welcome in Tuesday edition Clay Travis Buck Sexton Show. I 2 00:00:04,640 --> 00:00:07,560 Speaker 1: hope all of you are having a fantastic start to 3 00:00:07,640 --> 00:00:10,240 Speaker 1: your day. We're ready to make that a little bit better. 4 00:00:10,320 --> 00:00:13,200 Speaker 1: Our buddy Alex Berenson is going to swing by and 5 00:00:13,280 --> 00:00:16,000 Speaker 1: hang out with us in the two PM. Our only 6 00:00:16,040 --> 00:00:19,360 Speaker 1: guests that we have scheduled right now. Just FYI, but 7 00:00:20,160 --> 00:00:24,840 Speaker 1: we do have some good news that broke yesterday afternoon evening. 8 00:00:24,880 --> 00:00:26,480 Speaker 1: We've been telling you that it was going to happen 9 00:00:26,520 --> 00:00:32,920 Speaker 1: for some time. The House is in Republican hands, which means, Buck, 10 00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:36,600 Speaker 1: we have got a clean sweep on the twenty twenty 11 00:00:36,600 --> 00:00:39,640 Speaker 1: four election. We were hoping for a red wave or 12 00:00:39,760 --> 00:00:43,680 Speaker 1: red tsunami in twenty twenty two. Instead, we had to 13 00:00:43,720 --> 00:00:46,600 Speaker 1: wait a couple of years more for it to arrive. 14 00:00:46,720 --> 00:00:51,120 Speaker 1: But it has arrived. Republicans will control the Senate, the House, 15 00:00:51,640 --> 00:00:55,400 Speaker 1: and the White House, and tomorrow, I would say big 16 00:00:55,480 --> 00:00:59,360 Speaker 1: news will be who the Senate majority leader is. But 17 00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:02,440 Speaker 1: Trump can continues to fill out his cabinet. Reports that 18 00:01:02,560 --> 00:01:06,120 Speaker 1: Marco Rubio, who Buck was just in studio with a 19 00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:07,919 Speaker 1: couple of weeks ago. We've had him on the program 20 00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:11,480 Speaker 1: quite a lot. Senator from Florida is going to be 21 00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:17,760 Speaker 1: Secretary of State. The ongoing rollout of the Trump cabinet, Buck, 22 00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:20,399 Speaker 1: it feels kind of flawless to me so far in 23 00:01:20,520 --> 00:01:23,080 Speaker 1: terms of everybody that they are putting in positions of 24 00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:28,200 Speaker 1: prominence and power. And as a result, we've got some 25 00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:33,240 Speaker 1: things to be pretty excited about as the transition period 26 00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:36,520 Speaker 1: is fully underway. We got some drama, Buck. I don't 27 00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:39,480 Speaker 1: know if you've seen this video yet, but Jill Biden 28 00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:45,399 Speaker 1: gave an unbelievable cold shoulder to Kamala and Doug at 29 00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:48,640 Speaker 1: the Veterans Day ceremony, which I believe is the first 30 00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:51,200 Speaker 1: time they've been in the same place in some time. 31 00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:53,920 Speaker 1: I cannot wait for these books to come out, for 32 00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:57,400 Speaker 1: the true story to be told. But the fallout is 33 00:01:57,560 --> 00:02:03,120 Speaker 1: significant and massive on the left. MSNBC has just abandoned. 34 00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:06,960 Speaker 1: Everybody has left MSNBC, CNN. Buck. We talked about this, 35 00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:08,880 Speaker 1: and I do think it's consequential, and we got some 36 00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:13,480 Speaker 1: fun clips for you, But all the talk was how 37 00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:17,079 Speaker 1: will they respond to losing. It seems like so far 38 00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:20,200 Speaker 1: the response is not let's throw a fist up. We're 39 00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:22,480 Speaker 1: going to be the resistance, which is what we saw 40 00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:26,080 Speaker 1: in twenty sixteen, and we're going to flood CNN and MSNBC. 41 00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:28,400 Speaker 1: In the Washington Post of New York Times, it feels 42 00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:31,360 Speaker 1: like they are maybe angry at the media that told 43 00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:34,440 Speaker 1: them Kamala was going to win, and just almost a 44 00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:38,760 Speaker 1: form of resignation setting in. As Trump comes into near 45 00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:41,400 Speaker 1: total power in twenty twenty four. 46 00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:46,239 Speaker 2: They're waiting to see what they can coalesce around as 47 00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:49,200 Speaker 2: the new resistance, because they've got nothing right now. They 48 00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:53,640 Speaker 2: went all in on January sixth, fascism, the end of democracy, 49 00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:57,320 Speaker 2: and it didn't work, and it's not going to work 50 00:02:57,600 --> 00:03:00,600 Speaker 2: going forward. Right there that Trump isn't running again, so 51 00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:03,240 Speaker 2: they can just whine about how there won't be another 52 00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:05,680 Speaker 2: election or whatever it is they're going to say. No 53 00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:09,200 Speaker 2: one's paying attention, No one really cares. I do think 54 00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:13,040 Speaker 2: Clay that the likeliest place for the administration. Just to 55 00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:16,040 Speaker 2: be clear, We've got Mark or Rubio likely to be 56 00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:23,040 Speaker 2: Secretary of State, right We've got Tom Holman running Immigrations 57 00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:27,400 Speaker 2: and Customs Enforcement. We've got Susie Wiles as White House 58 00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:31,320 Speaker 2: Chief of Staff. It is believed that the and this 59 00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:33,720 Speaker 2: could have changed even while I was reading in in 60 00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:36,240 Speaker 2: the last hour, but it's believed Stephen Miller will be 61 00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:38,200 Speaker 2: deputy White House Chief of Staff. I don't know if 62 00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:41,560 Speaker 2: that's been a there what is. There's what is told 63 00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:43,760 Speaker 2: to the media by the Trump team, and then there's 64 00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:46,120 Speaker 2: what is or rather that the media tells us they 65 00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:48,960 Speaker 2: were told, and what the Trump campaign has confirmed not 66 00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:52,000 Speaker 2: necessarily the same a Trump transition, rather has confirmed not 67 00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:55,680 Speaker 2: necessarily the same thing. Christy Nome has been named as 68 00:03:55,840 --> 00:04:00,920 Speaker 2: the head of DHS. Look Trump on a huge victory. 69 00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:03,760 Speaker 2: He gets to pick his team. He learned a lot 70 00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:06,280 Speaker 2: over the first four years. I'm not going to sit 71 00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:09,080 Speaker 2: here as somebody who just comments on things and and 72 00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:11,800 Speaker 2: second guess him. I was a little surprised by that one. 73 00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:13,800 Speaker 2: All I can say is if she's part of the 74 00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:16,720 Speaker 2: Trump administration, I wish her all the success in the world, 75 00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:19,599 Speaker 2: and hope that this Trump team that he's assembling, whether 76 00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:25,280 Speaker 2: it's Gnome, Home and Miller, Wiles, Rubio, I just hope 77 00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:27,360 Speaker 2: that they kick ass. Honestly, I just want to I 78 00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:30,279 Speaker 2: just want our team to win. And Trump has earned 79 00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:32,480 Speaker 2: the right to pick the team that he wants to 80 00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:36,000 Speaker 2: have around him, not all of them, some of them. 81 00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:38,120 Speaker 2: Clay I think would would have been if he asked me, 82 00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:40,760 Speaker 2: if he asked me personally, I would have given him 83 00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:43,120 Speaker 2: some of these very same names. You know, Steven Miller 84 00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:45,599 Speaker 2: in a very senior White House roles, Susie Wiles obviously 85 00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:49,520 Speaker 2: after running a phenomenal campaign. You know, Marco Rubio at State. 86 00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:52,120 Speaker 2: You know Rick Renell, Marco Rubio. I mean, these are 87 00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:54,960 Speaker 2: I think you're gonna get pretty similar policies out of 88 00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:57,279 Speaker 2: either of them. We don't really know, but they're both 89 00:04:57,320 --> 00:05:01,120 Speaker 2: competent guys, they're both loyal guys. Christin again, I'm surprised, 90 00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:03,400 Speaker 2: but that's Trump's choice, and I hope she does a 91 00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:06,919 Speaker 2: phenomenal job. I hope she does all the deportations that 92 00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:09,839 Speaker 2: this administration has planned. And so anybody who's on the 93 00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:13,280 Speaker 2: Trump team has has my full support and best wishes 94 00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:17,560 Speaker 2: to get the mission accomplished. They were crowing a little 95 00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:20,839 Speaker 2: bit on morning Joe Clay, This was sad. This was sad, 96 00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:22,800 Speaker 2: not sad, but it was kind of it was a 97 00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:25,360 Speaker 2: little bit of a wamp wlump. They are now going 98 00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:29,480 Speaker 2: with the Trump is the phenomenon, not the Republican Party. 99 00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:35,479 Speaker 2: Look at the battleground Senate races. Carry Lake just lost. 100 00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:39,760 Speaker 2: Carry Lake just lost again. Okay, carry Lake lost in 101 00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:42,960 Speaker 2: a state where Donald Trump won by six points? Is 102 00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:43,280 Speaker 2: that right? 103 00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:44,320 Speaker 1: Basically six points? 104 00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:47,719 Speaker 2: Basically six we'll call it six points. She lost by 105 00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:51,880 Speaker 2: between two and three points. That's on the candidate. I 106 00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:54,159 Speaker 2: don't know what else to say. We supported Carrie, We 107 00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:56,360 Speaker 2: wish her all the best. She seems like a lovely person, 108 00:05:56,839 --> 00:05:59,360 Speaker 2: but she didn't get it done in that state. Very 109 00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:05,800 Speaker 2: sad about about Brown losing in Nevada. That's to uh 110 00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:07,120 Speaker 2: forgetting her name right now. 111 00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:10,280 Speaker 1: But to the Jackie Rosen, we had throws, super close 112 00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:14,760 Speaker 1: losses in Michigan, Mike Rodgers and and our friend Eric Hovedy, 113 00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:17,400 Speaker 1: who we had on this program. A lot those are 114 00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:20,520 Speaker 1: if everything had gone perfectly, Buck, we could have won 115 00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:23,719 Speaker 1: fifty seven Senate seats because all four of those were 116 00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:24,560 Speaker 1: very winnable. 117 00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:29,000 Speaker 2: And I would say the new narrative, Clay, is that 118 00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:34,560 Speaker 2: it was that really the Trump Kamala thing. Kamala got smoked, 119 00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:40,520 Speaker 2: but obviously, but the Democrat Republican thing as in other races, 120 00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:43,960 Speaker 2: very close Democrats. I'm telling you, this is what they're 121 00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:45,880 Speaker 2: saying on Morning Joe. So this is what the talking 122 00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:49,320 Speaker 2: points are now. It's closer than people realize just need 123 00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:52,000 Speaker 2: to basically just need a better top of the ticket 124 00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:55,080 Speaker 2: candidate for the next election. And going into the midterms, 125 00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:58,000 Speaker 2: they feel like they're in a pretty good spot. I'm 126 00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:00,719 Speaker 2: just telling you they've they're already in the rebutd and 127 00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:04,520 Speaker 2: reforming the narrative zone here. And we took you know, 128 00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:07,640 Speaker 2: we took some tough losses. The Hubby thing was skin 129 00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:10,240 Speaker 2: of teeth, but that's that's a very tough state. We 130 00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:11,880 Speaker 2: you know, we had Eric on a lot here, A 131 00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:13,880 Speaker 2: lot of you went out and voted for him. Now 132 00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:16,760 Speaker 2: that was going to be tricky against an incumbent. Kerry 133 00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:18,440 Speaker 2: Lake should have won that Senate See, I don't know 134 00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:20,560 Speaker 2: what else to say. She should have won that Senate seat. 135 00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:22,600 Speaker 2: Now we're down a seat. Now we still have a majority, 136 00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:25,280 Speaker 2: but every seat matters, especially when you see that the 137 00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:27,520 Speaker 2: map gets a lot harder for Republicans in the next 138 00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:30,080 Speaker 2: election cycle. This is where we are. 139 00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:33,360 Speaker 1: Yeah, I do think the challenge for them, and I 140 00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:37,080 Speaker 1: would love to have Joe Scarborough on is that requires 141 00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:41,320 Speaker 1: what they're now pivoting to requires them acknowledging that Trump 142 00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:45,920 Speaker 1: is a transcendently popular individual figure. 143 00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:48,600 Speaker 2: Which is what he's saying without saying it just to 144 00:07:48,880 --> 00:07:50,400 Speaker 2: they be that's saying it. 145 00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:53,000 Speaker 1: That's the next step of that is this guy's an 146 00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:56,280 Speaker 1: incredibly talented politician. He has great appeal, which is the 147 00:07:56,320 --> 00:07:59,040 Speaker 1: exact opposite of what they've argued for nearly a decade 148 00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:01,760 Speaker 1: that he's an act dental president, that Russia put him 149 00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:04,960 Speaker 1: over to the edge. That is, I would say, if 150 00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:08,080 Speaker 1: you want to point to the most disappointing thing about 151 00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:12,000 Speaker 1: twenty twenty four is we were oh soo achingly close 152 00:08:12,440 --> 00:08:15,680 Speaker 1: to winning fifty seven Senate seats, and if you go 153 00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:19,200 Speaker 1: back and look at Sam Brown, Kerry Lake, Mike Rodgers, 154 00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:22,080 Speaker 1: and Eric Huvdy, I think they were all for the 155 00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:25,200 Speaker 1: better candidate. Now Buck, it's worth pointing out that they 156 00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:29,480 Speaker 1: probably didn't point that out. Three of those individuals are incumbents. 157 00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:32,840 Speaker 1: So you're having to run against as a new person, 158 00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:37,760 Speaker 1: someone that has already been introduced and won multiple races. 159 00:08:37,800 --> 00:08:39,920 Speaker 1: Sorry two of them. It was an open Senate seat 160 00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:42,840 Speaker 1: in Michigan, but you're having to introduce yourself in a 161 00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:47,880 Speaker 1: challenging environment with someone who already has the powers of incumbency. 162 00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:48,160 Speaker 3: There. 163 00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:50,640 Speaker 2: We need to be honest about the differences here in 164 00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:53,640 Speaker 2: these contests, and this is the first day that the 165 00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:55,920 Speaker 2: that you've started to see Democrats saying, oh no, it's 166 00:08:55,960 --> 00:08:58,840 Speaker 2: not that bad for us, and they're really latching onto 167 00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:03,400 Speaker 2: these Senate wins. We lost Senate seats as Republicans in Georgia, 168 00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:06,880 Speaker 2: Georgia that we should have won. That was malpractice. That 169 00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:09,640 Speaker 2: was a combination of bad campaign, bad candidate. We lost 170 00:09:09,640 --> 00:09:12,400 Speaker 2: Senate seats in Georgia, three of them really, but certainly 171 00:09:12,400 --> 00:09:15,160 Speaker 2: one or two that we should have won. We just 172 00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:18,319 Speaker 2: lost a Senate seat in Arizona that absolutely should have 173 00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:21,240 Speaker 2: gone Republican, all right, absolutely should have been won, and 174 00:09:21,280 --> 00:09:24,080 Speaker 2: it did not. What happened there was a lot of 175 00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:26,360 Speaker 2: people said, I'm voting Donald Trump, I'm not voting for 176 00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:29,560 Speaker 2: Kerry Lake, and it's time to ask why that is. 177 00:09:29,679 --> 00:09:31,800 Speaker 2: That is the reality of the math and the numbers there. 178 00:09:31,840 --> 00:09:34,640 Speaker 2: It's not about election stealing or you know, the printer's 179 00:09:34,679 --> 00:09:37,840 Speaker 2: breaking or anything like that. People voted Trump, didn't vote 180 00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:40,560 Speaker 2: Kerry Lake. Now, now, now that's a loss. We should 181 00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:44,319 Speaker 2: have won that one. Hovedy's going up in a absolute 182 00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:48,760 Speaker 2: battleground state against an entrenched incumbent. You know, to me, 183 00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:52,040 Speaker 2: we put a best foot forward there, you know, close, 184 00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:54,680 Speaker 2: but no Cigar. I feel like Hovedy had a look 185 00:09:54,679 --> 00:09:57,040 Speaker 2: at the open three at the buzzer to win by 186 00:09:57,080 --> 00:09:59,599 Speaker 2: one point, and it just you know, just circled the 187 00:09:59,679 --> 00:10:01,920 Speaker 2: rim and came out. I mean, he was very close, 188 00:10:02,480 --> 00:10:05,719 Speaker 2: But Arizona is an airball. Arizona was not good. We 189 00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:08,640 Speaker 2: should have won that Senate seat. Nevada. I think, you know, 190 00:10:08,679 --> 00:10:12,360 Speaker 2: Sam Brown is new to this obviously a very impressive 191 00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:14,440 Speaker 2: guy and a guy that the country olways a tremendous 192 00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:17,520 Speaker 2: debt to. Didn't have the same name recognition, didn't have 193 00:10:17,559 --> 00:10:20,640 Speaker 2: what they had before in that or what rather others 194 00:10:20,679 --> 00:10:23,720 Speaker 2: would have from running before in that state. And he 195 00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:25,040 Speaker 2: made a good run of it. And I think there 196 00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:26,800 Speaker 2: may be a role for him in the Trump administration. 197 00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:29,559 Speaker 2: So I think he might be involved in something like that. 198 00:10:29,679 --> 00:10:34,880 Speaker 2: Dave McCormick Clay going to orientation. Chuck Schumer is now 199 00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:37,760 Speaker 2: admitting that Dave McCormick won. That was a tough one. 200 00:10:38,320 --> 00:10:41,199 Speaker 2: That was an uphill battle that a strong candidate was 201 00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:43,600 Speaker 2: able to pull out in Pennsylvania. So it's a little 202 00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:46,040 Speaker 2: bit of a mixed picture in those Senate battleground states. 203 00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:50,679 Speaker 2: But Michigan, Wisconsin, Arizona, Nevada, that is what Democrats are 204 00:10:50,679 --> 00:10:53,240 Speaker 2: hanging their hats on right now, saying, see, we can 205 00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:56,360 Speaker 2: still compete in battlegrounds, we just can't beat Trump with Kamala. 206 00:10:56,760 --> 00:10:58,520 Speaker 1: Well, listen to some of these numbers, Buck, because I'm 207 00:10:58,520 --> 00:11:01,760 Speaker 1: glad you brought up the Senate. Mike Rogers lost by 208 00:11:02,160 --> 00:11:06,720 Speaker 1: twenty thousand votes forty eight point six to forty eight 209 00:11:06,760 --> 00:11:13,480 Speaker 1: point three. You've got in in Wisconsin, Eric Hovd losing 210 00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:17,720 Speaker 1: by thirty thousand votes forty nine point seven to forty 211 00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:22,720 Speaker 1: eight point eight. Arizona, you've got Carrie Lake. Let's see. Sorry, 212 00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:26,160 Speaker 1: make sure that I get that right. Looking at these 213 00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:28,800 Speaker 1: Looking at these numbers, I mean, it's just crazy how 214 00:11:28,880 --> 00:11:32,360 Speaker 1: close they all ended up being. Carry Lake lost by 215 00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:36,520 Speaker 1: seventy thousand votes in Arizona. And to your point, Buck, 216 00:11:36,559 --> 00:11:39,760 Speaker 1: that's a state that Trump won by two hundred thousand votes. 217 00:11:40,160 --> 00:11:44,199 Speaker 1: And in Nevada, Jackie Rose and the incumbent won by 218 00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:47,000 Speaker 1: right at twenty thousand votes. So we're talking about tiny, 219 00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:52,400 Speaker 1: tiny margins. And it's also worth noting the Democrats wildly 220 00:11:52,559 --> 00:11:57,440 Speaker 1: outspent by and large, all of the Republican Senate candidates 221 00:11:57,480 --> 00:12:01,920 Speaker 1: in those states, so we were so to truly transforming 222 00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:06,280 Speaker 1: the United States Senate one hundred thousand total votes nationwide, 223 00:12:06,440 --> 00:12:10,480 Speaker 1: and Republicans would be at fifty seven basically instead of 224 00:12:10,559 --> 00:12:13,240 Speaker 1: at fifty three. Fifty three is still a good margin 225 00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:15,800 Speaker 1: three and a half with the tie, but as you 226 00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:19,520 Speaker 1: look towards twenty six, Democrats are going to think we 227 00:12:19,559 --> 00:12:22,560 Speaker 1: can ncap President Trump by taking back the Senate. And 228 00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:25,640 Speaker 1: to me, Buck, what it also hammers home is you've 229 00:12:25,679 --> 00:12:28,760 Speaker 1: got to be incredibly productive in the first eighteen months 230 00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:32,359 Speaker 1: because you don't have a guarantee of having the majority 231 00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:35,120 Speaker 1: in the second half of your term. You'll be a 232 00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:38,719 Speaker 1: lame duck. Trump will once we get to the midterms. 233 00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:42,840 Speaker 1: Whatever huge success he's going to have has to be 234 00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:46,360 Speaker 1: set in the first eighteen months. Really the first year. 235 00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:50,439 Speaker 1: We have to have out of the gates incredible momentum. 236 00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:53,360 Speaker 1: Since nine to eleven, Ton of the Towers Foundations been 237 00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:57,200 Speaker 1: supporting America's greatest heroes and their families, Heroes who protect 238 00:12:57,240 --> 00:13:01,040 Speaker 1: our communities and our country. Heroes like firefly James Dickman 239 00:13:01,400 --> 00:13:04,720 Speaker 1: passionate about fire safety, and James aspired to do everything 240 00:13:04,760 --> 00:13:08,280 Speaker 1: in his power to keep his community and fellow firefighters safe. 241 00:13:08,400 --> 00:13:11,079 Speaker 1: While responding to an apartment fire, James and his crew 242 00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:14,080 Speaker 1: tried to save people who were thought to be trapped inside. 243 00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:17,520 Speaker 1: When the situation escalated, James wasn't able to escape. He 244 00:13:17,640 --> 00:13:20,840 Speaker 1: perished in the blazing inferno. Cause of the fire, Arson 245 00:13:21,240 --> 00:13:24,560 Speaker 1: James leaves behind his loving wife, Jamie, his children, Page 246 00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:27,440 Speaker 1: and grant. Tunnel to Towers gave the Dickman family the 247 00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:30,280 Speaker 1: gift of a mortgage free home. Jamie's grateful to Tunnel 248 00:13:30,280 --> 00:13:33,080 Speaker 1: to Towers and to caring friends like you for lifting 249 00:13:33,080 --> 00:13:36,280 Speaker 1: the financial burden of a mortgage off her shoulders. Donate 250 00:13:36,280 --> 00:13:38,520 Speaker 1: eleven dollars a month to Tunnel to Towers at t 251 00:13:38,520 --> 00:13:42,200 Speaker 1: twot dot org. That's Tea the number two t dot org. 252 00:13:42,520 --> 00:13:45,120 Speaker 1: Your gift will be a true life changer for families 253 00:13:45,360 --> 00:13:46,359 Speaker 1: like the Dickmans. 254 00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:50,280 Speaker 2: Welcome in second hour, Clay and Buck kicks off. Now 255 00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:55,000 Speaker 2: we've got a lot of aftermath and after action reporting 256 00:13:55,040 --> 00:13:57,960 Speaker 2: still coming in. Last week was victory week. I hope 257 00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:03,640 Speaker 2: you enjoyed, you know, eating wings with blue cheese, laid 258 00:14:03,679 --> 00:14:07,600 Speaker 2: into the night watching a great movie, or out there 259 00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:10,640 Speaker 2: playing a sport with your family, doing something fun. Because 260 00:14:10,679 --> 00:14:14,679 Speaker 2: now the fight is back in action here and we're 261 00:14:14,679 --> 00:14:17,720 Speaker 2: trying to figure out how the Trump team is shaping 262 00:14:17,800 --> 00:14:20,160 Speaker 2: up as they get going with the beginning of term two. 263 00:14:20,840 --> 00:14:24,359 Speaker 2: Trump two point zero going to become a reality in January. 264 00:14:24,480 --> 00:14:29,240 Speaker 2: And we also have the Democrats trying to regroup and 265 00:14:29,280 --> 00:14:32,880 Speaker 2: they will. To be clear, you know, it's easy to 266 00:14:32,920 --> 00:14:35,240 Speaker 2: get all wrapped up in the Wow, what a sweeping 267 00:14:35,320 --> 00:14:38,680 Speaker 2: victory for Trump. Trump can't run again. Trump now has 268 00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:41,000 Speaker 2: to do great things in this next term. I think 269 00:14:41,040 --> 00:14:44,640 Speaker 2: he will. I'm excited for the possibilities here, But the 270 00:14:44,640 --> 00:14:47,400 Speaker 2: Republican Party is going to have to deal with a 271 00:14:47,480 --> 00:14:50,720 Speaker 2: Democrat party without Donald Trump at the head of it. 272 00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:53,200 Speaker 2: No one, I think has to be reminded. 273 00:14:53,400 --> 00:14:54,240 Speaker 1: I have very. 274 00:14:55,680 --> 00:14:58,960 Speaker 2: High hopes for Jade Vance and as well as others. 275 00:14:59,280 --> 00:15:01,520 Speaker 2: I think the next gen of Republican leadership is in 276 00:15:01,560 --> 00:15:05,480 Speaker 2: a very good place already, and we have a deep bench. 277 00:15:06,160 --> 00:15:08,600 Speaker 2: I see Democrats say that on TV and then I'm like, 278 00:15:08,640 --> 00:15:12,040 Speaker 2: who's on this bench exactly? It's like, what even for 279 00:15:12,080 --> 00:15:14,160 Speaker 2: their purposes? Forget about whether I agree with him, I'm 280 00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:18,040 Speaker 2: just like that person can't win. Kamala Harris, though as 281 00:15:18,080 --> 00:15:22,240 Speaker 2: we know, did not win, This was an interesting moment 282 00:15:22,280 --> 00:15:27,960 Speaker 2: on the TV over the weekend. Kamala Harris's former communications director, 283 00:15:28,160 --> 00:15:30,280 Speaker 2: a guy that I worked with briefly at The Hillclay 284 00:15:30,360 --> 00:15:34,080 Speaker 2: the Hill dot Com. Not like on Capitol Hill, Jamal Simmons. 285 00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:36,920 Speaker 2: Very nice guy and very plugged in guy. I will 286 00:15:36,920 --> 00:15:40,680 Speaker 2: tell you knows you know. He's got a Democrat rollerdecks. 287 00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:42,560 Speaker 2: He can get anybody wants on the phone. He could 288 00:15:42,600 --> 00:15:45,240 Speaker 2: then he certainly can now after being Kamala's Comm's director, 289 00:15:45,840 --> 00:15:48,800 Speaker 2: and this is what he put out there for everybody. 290 00:15:48,840 --> 00:15:51,040 Speaker 2: I just wanted to dive into this with all of you. 291 00:15:51,080 --> 00:15:51,680 Speaker 2: This cut four. 292 00:15:51,920 --> 00:15:54,040 Speaker 4: Joe Biden's been a phenomenal president. He's lived up to 293 00:15:54,040 --> 00:15:55,560 Speaker 4: so many of the promise that he's made. Is one 294 00:15:55,600 --> 00:15:58,440 Speaker 4: promise left that he could fulfill being a transitional figure. 295 00:15:58,480 --> 00:16:00,960 Speaker 4: He could resign the presidency in the next thirty days, 296 00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:03,320 Speaker 4: make Kamala Harris the president of the United States. 297 00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:03,920 Speaker 2: Give it absolved. 298 00:16:04,640 --> 00:16:07,680 Speaker 4: I'm being able to from having to oversee the January 299 00:16:07,720 --> 00:16:11,360 Speaker 4: sixth transition right of her of her own defeat, and 300 00:16:11,960 --> 00:16:14,840 Speaker 4: it would make sure that it would dominate the news 301 00:16:14,920 --> 00:16:18,000 Speaker 4: at a point where Democrats have to learn drama and 302 00:16:18,040 --> 00:16:21,160 Speaker 4: transparency and doing things that the public we want to see. 303 00:16:21,320 --> 00:16:22,960 Speaker 4: Is the time, This is the moment for us to 304 00:16:23,040 --> 00:16:25,600 Speaker 4: change the entire perspective of how democrats. 305 00:16:25,640 --> 00:16:28,560 Speaker 5: Heay, this is now jumped from an internet name to 306 00:16:28,680 --> 00:16:34,520 Speaker 5: a Sunday morning show. I thought you were going to say, 307 00:16:34,560 --> 00:16:36,440 Speaker 5: what about the Supreme Court that's also out there. 308 00:16:36,480 --> 00:16:37,920 Speaker 4: Well, the Supreme Court might happen. I don't know if 309 00:16:37,960 --> 00:16:38,240 Speaker 4: it will. 310 00:16:39,760 --> 00:16:41,560 Speaker 2: That's not going to happen. And by the way, this 311 00:16:41,680 --> 00:16:43,160 Speaker 2: is not going to happen either. She's not going to 312 00:16:43,160 --> 00:16:44,360 Speaker 2: be in the Supreme Court and Biden is not going 313 00:16:44,400 --> 00:16:46,920 Speaker 2: to step down. But here's what I see, Clay. I 314 00:16:46,920 --> 00:16:50,560 Speaker 2: think this is interesting because why this is out there 315 00:16:50,600 --> 00:16:52,680 Speaker 2: and he's bringing up I'm telling you, I know Jabal. 316 00:16:52,680 --> 00:16:54,360 Speaker 2: I haven't spoken a little while, but I know Jabal. 317 00:16:55,160 --> 00:16:57,960 Speaker 2: He knows what everyone's talking about behind closed doors, and 318 00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:00,840 Speaker 2: he knows what the Kamala team had. He was a 319 00:17:00,880 --> 00:17:02,360 Speaker 2: part of it, right, I mean, he knows what has 320 00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:07,359 Speaker 2: been discussed. My assumption was always that Joe Biden was 321 00:17:07,440 --> 00:17:09,280 Speaker 2: running for term one with the idea that he would 322 00:17:09,320 --> 00:17:15,160 Speaker 2: step down and let her assume the role of incumbent 323 00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:19,200 Speaker 2: effectively by being a VP running in or not necessarily 324 00:17:19,200 --> 00:17:21,959 Speaker 2: even running in a primary, but a VP elevated. And 325 00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:25,359 Speaker 2: that was always the plan, right, The plan got messed 326 00:17:25,440 --> 00:17:28,960 Speaker 2: up here because they waited too long for it, because 327 00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:31,680 Speaker 2: I think they recognized that Kamala was such a weak 328 00:17:31,880 --> 00:17:34,160 Speaker 2: candidate for this, which he couldn't do it, which we've 329 00:17:34,160 --> 00:17:36,800 Speaker 2: now seen. But now do we get to the why this? 330 00:17:37,480 --> 00:17:39,639 Speaker 2: So again, I think this is an interesting idea. It 331 00:17:39,680 --> 00:17:42,080 Speaker 2: will absolutely not happen. In my mind, I give it 332 00:17:42,160 --> 00:17:44,600 Speaker 2: less than a one percent shot. I think it's almost, 333 00:17:44,760 --> 00:17:48,760 Speaker 2: you know, zero. But here's what I see, Clay One. 334 00:17:48,840 --> 00:17:53,320 Speaker 2: It won't happen because it would be in essence for 335 00:17:53,359 --> 00:17:56,840 Speaker 2: a lot of people admitting that the Dei world, there's 336 00:17:56,880 --> 00:17:59,359 Speaker 2: a lot of certain people get a trophy that they 337 00:17:59,359 --> 00:18:02,080 Speaker 2: didn't actually get, you know what I mean, It would 338 00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:05,200 Speaker 2: really undermine I think in the public's eye. Yeah, there'd 339 00:18:05,200 --> 00:18:07,600 Speaker 2: be Democrats to say, yeah, the first black female president, 340 00:18:07,640 --> 00:18:09,280 Speaker 2: but it would be for thirty days. She wouldn't have 341 00:18:09,320 --> 00:18:10,879 Speaker 2: earned it, and she would have just lost an election 342 00:18:11,040 --> 00:18:14,520 Speaker 2: very badly. In a sense, that's kind of an encapsulation 343 00:18:14,680 --> 00:18:17,240 Speaker 2: of what a lot of people view Dei as. Right, 344 00:18:17,280 --> 00:18:21,480 Speaker 2: you make these superficial characteristics of people the means for 345 00:18:21,560 --> 00:18:22,960 Speaker 2: advancing them. But I think you and I know the 346 00:18:22,960 --> 00:18:26,680 Speaker 2: bigger thing. Biden's just don't like her Biden's just aren't 347 00:18:26,720 --> 00:18:28,479 Speaker 2: going to do it. 348 00:18:28,480 --> 00:18:30,960 Speaker 1: It's embarrassing. First of all, I don't know that anybody's 349 00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:34,800 Speaker 1: actually ever thought through it. It would require Joe Biden 350 00:18:34,840 --> 00:18:37,000 Speaker 1: to move out of the White House and Kamala Harris 351 00:18:37,040 --> 00:18:39,280 Speaker 1: to move into the White House for one month, and 352 00:18:39,320 --> 00:18:42,679 Speaker 1: then Joe Biden what gets on a helicopter and flies 353 00:18:42,720 --> 00:18:45,800 Speaker 1: to his beach home and he isn't there anymore. It's 354 00:18:45,840 --> 00:18:49,760 Speaker 1: an embarrassing way for Biden's era to end to the 355 00:18:49,800 --> 00:18:51,879 Speaker 1: extent that he had in era at all. What I 356 00:18:51,920 --> 00:18:56,600 Speaker 1: do think the discussion is acknowledging on some level buck though, 357 00:18:56,840 --> 00:19:00,920 Speaker 1: is that Kamala Harris is done in politics. We talked 358 00:19:00,920 --> 00:19:03,719 Speaker 1: about this as the stakes of these elections. I do 359 00:19:03,760 --> 00:19:06,800 Speaker 1: think it's worth going back to if Trump had lost, 360 00:19:07,400 --> 00:19:09,479 Speaker 1: Democrats in theory were going to try to put him 361 00:19:09,480 --> 00:19:12,720 Speaker 1: in prison for the rest of his life. If Kamala 362 00:19:12,800 --> 00:19:16,920 Speaker 1: had won, she was going to be the first woman president. 363 00:19:17,080 --> 00:19:19,800 Speaker 1: People would talk about her for hundreds of years, even 364 00:19:19,840 --> 00:19:22,240 Speaker 1: if most of us know that she is an empty suit. 365 00:19:22,840 --> 00:19:27,120 Speaker 1: Her name would have echoed throughout history. Instead, they're gonna 366 00:19:27,160 --> 00:19:31,440 Speaker 1: Michael Ducacas her like she's just gonna kind of vanish. 367 00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:34,440 Speaker 1: I know, there's talk, Oh, she's gonna run for governor 368 00:19:34,640 --> 00:19:37,840 Speaker 1: in California. I don't think there's any ambition for that buck. 369 00:19:37,880 --> 00:19:41,240 Speaker 1: When Hillary lost, there were at least some people out 370 00:19:41,280 --> 00:19:43,639 Speaker 1: there who said, well, she should run against him again 371 00:19:43,680 --> 00:19:46,920 Speaker 1: in twenty twenty four. In the immediate aftermath, oh she's 372 00:19:46,960 --> 00:19:50,879 Speaker 1: been wronged. Have you heard anybody say, Oh, Kamala Harris 373 00:19:50,920 --> 00:19:53,640 Speaker 1: has been wronged. Her career is over. And I think 374 00:19:53,680 --> 00:19:58,080 Speaker 1: in some ways this is actually why I said, Josh Shapiro, 375 00:19:58,600 --> 00:20:02,800 Speaker 1: Gretchen Whitmer, Gavin Knew, some Pritzker, all of that crew, 376 00:20:02,880 --> 00:20:07,560 Speaker 1: maybe AOC, all of them that have larger national ambitions, 377 00:20:07,880 --> 00:20:11,160 Speaker 1: they all wanted Kamala to lose because if she had won, 378 00:20:11,320 --> 00:20:14,720 Speaker 1: she's the nominee in twenty eight. They can't get past her. 379 00:20:14,760 --> 00:20:19,240 Speaker 1: It's twenty thirty two until you can run for president. Now, 380 00:20:19,880 --> 00:20:22,960 Speaker 1: now you look at it and you say she's swept out. 381 00:20:23,160 --> 00:20:26,600 Speaker 1: They went ahead and got rid of the DEI vice president. 382 00:20:27,160 --> 00:20:29,800 Speaker 1: There's no argument that she has to be the nominee 383 00:20:29,840 --> 00:20:33,320 Speaker 1: because she's the first black woman Asian woman to be 384 00:20:33,760 --> 00:20:37,280 Speaker 1: to be vice president. She's done, she's out the window. 385 00:20:37,359 --> 00:20:38,920 Speaker 1: I don't even think she could run. I think it 386 00:20:38,960 --> 00:20:42,040 Speaker 1: would embarrass her how badly she would get beaten in 387 00:20:42,080 --> 00:20:44,639 Speaker 1: the primaries, because I think the real story here, as 388 00:20:44,680 --> 00:20:47,040 Speaker 1: you just mentioned it, is if they had had a 389 00:20:47,119 --> 00:20:50,760 Speaker 1: legitimate primary, if Joe Biden had stepped down like he 390 00:20:50,840 --> 00:20:54,080 Speaker 1: should have some time in or announced that he wasn't 391 00:20:54,119 --> 00:20:55,960 Speaker 1: going to run like he should have and like I 392 00:20:55,960 --> 00:20:59,240 Speaker 1: don't know June of twenty twenty three, Yeah, then she 393 00:20:59,280 --> 00:21:01,520 Speaker 1: would have never been nominee. And Buck the one thing 394 00:21:01,600 --> 00:21:03,920 Speaker 1: I will say, we didn't get the red wave in 395 00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:07,119 Speaker 1: twenty twenty two, we got it in twenty twenty four. 396 00:21:07,720 --> 00:21:10,359 Speaker 1: I would submit that the reason we got the red 397 00:21:10,359 --> 00:21:14,040 Speaker 1: wave is because Biden took the wrong lesson from the midterms. 398 00:21:14,600 --> 00:21:18,960 Speaker 1: When they didn't get absolutely eviscerated, he and his team 399 00:21:19,040 --> 00:21:21,760 Speaker 1: took it as an indication that what he was doing 400 00:21:21,920 --> 00:21:24,720 Speaker 1: was popular and that there was still a demand for 401 00:21:24,800 --> 00:21:25,960 Speaker 1: him to be re elected. 402 00:21:26,480 --> 00:21:30,879 Speaker 2: They it's a classic thing Biden. After the midterms, the 403 00:21:30,880 --> 00:21:33,040 Speaker 2: team around him that was actually running the White House, 404 00:21:33,440 --> 00:21:37,119 Speaker 2: they decided that they weren't lucky, they were good, and 405 00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:39,919 Speaker 2: actually they were just lucky. They were very lucky in 406 00:21:39,960 --> 00:21:40,680 Speaker 2: those midterms. 407 00:21:40,680 --> 00:21:43,440 Speaker 1: We've just that Roe v. Wade frankly got overturned because 408 00:21:43,440 --> 00:21:44,959 Speaker 1: I think you can look back at it now and 409 00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:48,919 Speaker 1: say he would have gotten absolutely destroyed. But for Roe v. 410 00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:52,919 Speaker 1: Wade getting overturned, that also diluted the impact of Roe 411 00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:55,720 Speaker 1: v Wade getting overturned Buck, I think in twenty four. 412 00:21:56,080 --> 00:21:58,639 Speaker 1: But yes, they took the lesson of this is an 413 00:21:58,800 --> 00:22:03,080 Speaker 1: endorsement of what we're doing. The American public actually supports us. 414 00:22:03,520 --> 00:22:05,040 Speaker 1: You've got to stay in and run. 415 00:22:05,880 --> 00:22:07,840 Speaker 2: And we've discussed this, and this is not just us 416 00:22:07,920 --> 00:22:10,600 Speaker 2: justifying that we were a little excited about twenty twenty. 417 00:22:10,680 --> 00:22:12,440 Speaker 2: I didn't want to talk about twenty twenty twenty more. 418 00:22:12,480 --> 00:22:14,359 Speaker 2: Let's talk about twenty twenty four because we nailed it. 419 00:22:14,600 --> 00:22:19,520 Speaker 2: But in twenty two there was a surge of red voting. 420 00:22:19,880 --> 00:22:23,440 Speaker 2: Republican voters did turn out in great numbers for a midterm. 421 00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:25,399 Speaker 2: They just didn't turn out where we needed them to 422 00:22:25,400 --> 00:22:26,800 Speaker 2: to win. The key race is to make it a 423 00:22:26,800 --> 00:22:29,760 Speaker 2: successful midterm for us. That is what ended up happening 424 00:22:29,960 --> 00:22:33,320 Speaker 2: this time. We got both. We got the numbers and 425 00:22:33,400 --> 00:22:36,280 Speaker 2: the placement of those numbers to make it matter. You know. 426 00:22:36,720 --> 00:22:39,960 Speaker 2: So Kamala, I think there's a recognition Clay that there 427 00:22:39,960 --> 00:22:43,960 Speaker 2: would even be discussion of her as really a figurehead 428 00:22:44,600 --> 00:22:47,320 Speaker 2: president for a month or two as part of this transition. 429 00:22:49,040 --> 00:22:51,720 Speaker 2: It's the idea is absurd, But I'm telling you people 430 00:22:51,720 --> 00:22:54,360 Speaker 2: have talked about it who are at the high levels here, 431 00:22:54,680 --> 00:22:55,439 Speaker 2: and then. 432 00:22:55,320 --> 00:22:57,800 Speaker 1: You look at who No. I was just gonna ask 433 00:22:57,880 --> 00:23:01,520 Speaker 1: you like associated with this? To me, this ties in 434 00:23:01,880 --> 00:23:04,840 Speaker 1: what one question would you love to know the true 435 00:23:04,960 --> 00:23:09,639 Speaker 1: answer to associated with the behind the scenes Biden Kamala drama, 436 00:23:09,800 --> 00:23:14,120 Speaker 1: like if you could just like get true honesty, because 437 00:23:14,160 --> 00:23:16,840 Speaker 1: I think this ties in with the idea of elevating her. 438 00:23:16,960 --> 00:23:19,680 Speaker 1: It's crazy because they hate each other. I think I 439 00:23:19,720 --> 00:23:22,040 Speaker 1: think somebody I don't know who did it. If you're 440 00:23:22,080 --> 00:23:27,000 Speaker 1: asking me my vision of this, I think eventually because 441 00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:29,560 Speaker 1: Biden was not not just because of the stake bet 442 00:23:29,600 --> 00:23:32,800 Speaker 1: Biden was not planning on dropping even after the debate. 443 00:23:33,080 --> 00:23:35,320 Speaker 2: He did not want to. It was a kicking and 444 00:23:35,359 --> 00:23:40,439 Speaker 2: screaming situation. I want to know who really came to 445 00:23:40,520 --> 00:23:45,640 Speaker 2: him and said, the Democrat Party is going to ostracize 446 00:23:45,680 --> 00:23:51,480 Speaker 2: your family and your legacy unless you step down, basically 447 00:23:51,560 --> 00:23:53,919 Speaker 2: made him an offer he can't refuse. I don't know 448 00:23:53,960 --> 00:23:56,080 Speaker 2: if it was Pelosi, I don't know if it was 449 00:23:56,160 --> 00:23:59,760 Speaker 2: Barack himself. I don't know. I think somebody sat him 450 00:23:59,800 --> 00:24:03,680 Speaker 2: down and said, this isn't just about you. This is 451 00:24:03,760 --> 00:24:08,280 Speaker 2: about Jill and Hunter, and your brother whatever his name is, 452 00:24:08,720 --> 00:24:11,639 Speaker 2: and your grandkids. Do you want your grandkids and your 453 00:24:11,680 --> 00:24:14,199 Speaker 2: great grandkids to get into Yale and Harvard even though 454 00:24:14,240 --> 00:24:17,120 Speaker 2: they're going to be morons? Then do what we say, 455 00:24:17,160 --> 00:24:19,360 Speaker 2: because they will get into Yale and Harvard and Princeton 456 00:24:19,400 --> 00:24:20,959 Speaker 2: even though they're probably going to be, like, you know, 457 00:24:21,119 --> 00:24:24,480 Speaker 2: a bunch of clowns. The point is, I think somebody 458 00:24:24,520 --> 00:24:26,240 Speaker 2: got to him with that, you know what I mean? 459 00:24:26,359 --> 00:24:28,600 Speaker 2: And I want to know what it was and who 460 00:24:28,720 --> 00:24:28,879 Speaker 2: was it? 461 00:24:29,280 --> 00:24:31,720 Speaker 1: Who ordered the code red is one way of putting that. 462 00:24:31,760 --> 00:24:33,679 Speaker 1: I would love to know that. I would love to 463 00:24:33,720 --> 00:24:37,879 Speaker 1: know Buck, how did the June twenty seventh debate actually happen? 464 00:24:39,440 --> 00:24:42,760 Speaker 1: Because you would have won your stake bet if they 465 00:24:42,800 --> 00:24:47,679 Speaker 1: had just not debated until September or October, as almost 466 00:24:47,720 --> 00:24:52,479 Speaker 1: always happens. So how did that come to reality June 467 00:24:52,560 --> 00:24:57,160 Speaker 1: twenty seventh? I want to know every minute detail associated 468 00:24:57,200 --> 00:24:58,080 Speaker 1: with that process. 469 00:24:58,359 --> 00:25:01,920 Speaker 2: Well, the two possibilities there are the and one of 470 00:25:01,920 --> 00:25:03,600 Speaker 2: the reasons we're talking about this is because I think 471 00:25:03,600 --> 00:25:07,120 Speaker 2: the Kamala Biden infighting means that we might get answers 472 00:25:07,160 --> 00:25:08,639 Speaker 2: to this, right, there are some things, like, you know, 473 00:25:08,920 --> 00:25:10,679 Speaker 2: there are things that were going on in the Obama 474 00:25:10,720 --> 00:25:13,920 Speaker 2: administration you will never find You won't find out for 475 00:25:13,960 --> 00:25:18,720 Speaker 2: thirty years because they are Democrat Royalty and nobody's Gonnam. 476 00:25:18,920 --> 00:25:20,439 Speaker 2: There's a lot of things we talk about here, but 477 00:25:20,600 --> 00:25:22,440 Speaker 2: no one's going to talk about it. They're going to 478 00:25:22,480 --> 00:25:24,280 Speaker 2: talk out of school on this because there's a fight 479 00:25:24,359 --> 00:25:28,080 Speaker 2: going on now for power within the party and they're not. 480 00:25:28,480 --> 00:25:31,080 Speaker 2: You know, Biden and Kamala are no longer the anointed, 481 00:25:31,280 --> 00:25:33,320 Speaker 2: and the people who have worked for them are jockeying 482 00:25:33,359 --> 00:25:36,560 Speaker 2: for power in the future. So yes, the only two 483 00:25:36,600 --> 00:25:40,919 Speaker 2: possibilities are. Somebody thought that if they got Biden to debate, 484 00:25:41,080 --> 00:25:43,080 Speaker 2: it would finally be the nail and the coffin of 485 00:25:43,119 --> 00:25:45,680 Speaker 2: his candidacy. I don't buy that as much. I actually 486 00:25:45,680 --> 00:25:48,520 Speaker 2: think they were so delusional, or maybe not delusional to 487 00:25:48,520 --> 00:25:50,359 Speaker 2: the right word. I think that they were just willing 488 00:25:50,440 --> 00:25:52,919 Speaker 2: to roll the dice with we'll get out ahead of 489 00:25:52,960 --> 00:25:54,600 Speaker 2: this and then we'll put them all, We'll put all 490 00:25:54,640 --> 00:25:58,120 Speaker 2: the haters to sleep with this idea of Biden being 491 00:25:58,200 --> 00:26:00,239 Speaker 2: just fine. Can I just play real quick. I look 492 00:26:00,280 --> 00:26:01,680 Speaker 2: this up. The New York Times just wrote a piece. 493 00:26:01,760 --> 00:26:05,400 Speaker 2: Is what I was thinking about on the next generation. 494 00:26:05,520 --> 00:26:08,560 Speaker 2: You know, the deep bench that Democrats have. You know 495 00:26:08,600 --> 00:26:10,280 Speaker 2: who the top names are. I mean, we know some 496 00:26:10,320 --> 00:26:14,320 Speaker 2: of them, but yeah, Gavin Newsom, JB. Prisker of Illinois. 497 00:26:14,760 --> 00:26:16,720 Speaker 2: I'm not trying to be mean, and I cast no 498 00:26:16,800 --> 00:26:18,919 Speaker 2: ast persons on anyone's wait or whatever, but I think 499 00:26:18,960 --> 00:26:21,240 Speaker 2: would be very tough for a guy. You know, we 500 00:26:21,280 --> 00:26:23,920 Speaker 2: are still kind of a superficial society. I don't see JB. 501 00:26:24,080 --> 00:26:26,760 Speaker 2: Pritzker being the President of the United States just saying, 502 00:26:27,160 --> 00:26:28,840 Speaker 2: you know, maybe he's gonna lose one hundred and fifty 503 00:26:28,840 --> 00:26:29,640 Speaker 2: pounds or so, but that. 504 00:26:29,600 --> 00:26:31,400 Speaker 1: Would be very in the same way we didn't see 505 00:26:31,480 --> 00:26:33,960 Speaker 1: Chris Christie, because there is a cosmetic aspect to be 506 00:26:34,080 --> 00:26:35,880 Speaker 1: And again, I don't criticize. 507 00:26:35,880 --> 00:26:37,840 Speaker 2: I don't make fat jokes here, don't criticize people's weight. 508 00:26:37,920 --> 00:26:39,920 Speaker 2: I'm just saying I think that he you know, I 509 00:26:39,920 --> 00:26:42,960 Speaker 2: think that's an issue for him legitimately at the national level. 510 00:26:43,240 --> 00:26:47,960 Speaker 2: Jos Shapiro of Pennsylvania, Gretchen Whitmer of Michigan, Wes Moore 511 00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:51,600 Speaker 2: of Maryland, Phil Murphy of New Jersey, Roy Cooper of 512 00:26:51,600 --> 00:26:55,520 Speaker 2: North Carolina, Andy Basher of Kentucky. That is the New 513 00:26:55,600 --> 00:26:59,520 Speaker 2: York Times list, and Clay let me just say none 514 00:26:59,600 --> 00:27:02,439 Speaker 2: of them, none of them have the kind of brand 515 00:27:02,480 --> 00:27:04,840 Speaker 2: power and national recognition that they need to even be 516 00:27:05,880 --> 00:27:09,320 Speaker 2: seriously considered right now for anything in the presidential realm. 517 00:27:09,520 --> 00:27:12,040 Speaker 1: Let me just say, Andy Basher and Roy Cooper are 518 00:27:12,200 --> 00:27:15,160 Speaker 1: Tim Walls like in that every man who sees them 519 00:27:15,200 --> 00:27:17,080 Speaker 1: will be like, I'm not voting for that guy to 520 00:27:17,080 --> 00:27:20,439 Speaker 1: have control of nuclear power like Democrat. This is what 521 00:27:20,520 --> 00:27:22,960 Speaker 1: I think is the lasting legacy. Two things as we 522 00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:25,720 Speaker 1: go to break here. One buck, I think one reason 523 00:27:25,800 --> 00:27:28,640 Speaker 1: this Biden Kamala fight is going to be so nasty 524 00:27:28,800 --> 00:27:31,360 Speaker 1: is everybody recognizes neither of the one of them has 525 00:27:31,359 --> 00:27:34,880 Speaker 1: a political future now, so they're not fighting for the 526 00:27:34,920 --> 00:27:38,960 Speaker 1: future of their careers, they're fighting for their legacy. Now. 527 00:27:39,040 --> 00:27:42,760 Speaker 1: I think that's going to be particularly nasty. Two. To me, 528 00:27:42,960 --> 00:27:46,760 Speaker 1: the biggest story of the twenty twenty four election. Trump 529 00:27:46,800 --> 00:27:48,879 Speaker 1: won all those things, but in terms of the data, 530 00:27:49,440 --> 00:27:54,119 Speaker 1: Democrats have a monstrously huge issue with young men and 531 00:27:54,240 --> 00:27:57,119 Speaker 1: it's only going to continue to get worse. So the 532 00:27:57,160 --> 00:27:59,400 Speaker 1: reason when you read me all that list book. They 533 00:27:59,440 --> 00:28:02,680 Speaker 1: got to find dude. I'm sorry, Democrats got to find 534 00:28:02,680 --> 00:28:05,800 Speaker 1: a guy that normal guys would like to have a 535 00:28:05,800 --> 00:28:08,440 Speaker 1: beer with. None of those guys you just ran through 536 00:28:08,480 --> 00:28:10,919 Speaker 1: on that list are dudes. They tried to argue, Oh, 537 00:28:10,920 --> 00:28:12,680 Speaker 1: Tip wall is going to be a football guy. I'm 538 00:28:12,720 --> 00:28:16,960 Speaker 1: telling you maybe Gavin Newsom honestly is the most dudliest 539 00:28:17,040 --> 00:28:20,159 Speaker 1: of that group. And that's being very kind, right, Who 540 00:28:20,160 --> 00:28:22,520 Speaker 1: would you want to have a beer with in that group? 541 00:28:22,840 --> 00:28:24,840 Speaker 1: Gavin Newsom might be top of the list. And that's 542 00:28:24,840 --> 00:28:28,000 Speaker 1: not a high list we'th thinking about because I think 543 00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:29,680 Speaker 1: that's going to be an issue. But I got to 544 00:28:29,720 --> 00:28:32,440 Speaker 1: tell you a lot of you right now are find 545 00:28:32,480 --> 00:28:35,359 Speaker 1: out about Rapid Radios company based in the red state 546 00:28:35,400 --> 00:28:39,440 Speaker 1: of Michigan.

Welcome back in Clay, Travis Buck 560 00:29:24,560 --> 00:29:28,560 Speaker 1: Sexton Show, Alex Berenson gonna join us momentarily. Let me 561 00:29:28,640 --> 00:29:31,280 Speaker 1: hit you with a bunch of different stories that have 562 00:29:31,440 --> 00:29:35,320 Speaker 1: broken in the last forty five minutes or so. Former 563 00:29:35,480 --> 00:29:39,600 Speaker 1: Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee nominated by Donald Trump to be 564 00:29:39,840 --> 00:29:44,200 Speaker 1: the next US Ambassador to Israel. Very good choice there. 565 00:29:44,360 --> 00:29:48,480 Speaker 1: I believe the Attorney General of Florida, Ashley Moody, has 566 00:29:48,600 --> 00:29:54,680 Speaker 1: opened an investigation into FEMA employees potentially bypassing people with 567 00:29:54,840 --> 00:29:59,040 Speaker 1: Trump signs or Trump flags in the wake of Hurricane Helene. 568 00:29:59,800 --> 00:30:03,960 Speaker 1: That is obviously an awful story that at least one 569 00:30:04,120 --> 00:30:08,280 Speaker 1: individual in a supervisory role put in writing that is 570 00:30:08,520 --> 00:30:14,280 Speaker 1: ignore homes with Trump paraphernalia pretty unbelievable. There is also 571 00:30:14,600 --> 00:30:21,880 Speaker 1: a story out there. That is significant that let's see, 572 00:30:21,960 --> 00:30:25,960 Speaker 1: hundreds of CNN layoffs are potentially coming that according to 573 00:30:26,120 --> 00:30:30,440 Speaker 1: the Daily Mail, citing a Puck story. All of that 574 00:30:30,680 --> 00:30:34,840 Speaker 1: and more, we bring in now Alex Berenson. Alex, you're 575 00:30:34,880 --> 00:30:37,680 Speaker 1: a media guy. You've been in media for a long time. 576 00:30:37,800 --> 00:30:39,440 Speaker 1: You used to be at the New York Times. Now 577 00:30:39,440 --> 00:30:41,160 Speaker 1: you have a sub stack. You've been on with us 578 00:30:41,200 --> 00:30:44,480 Speaker 1: now for years, been doing a great job. You, like me, 579 00:30:44,640 --> 00:30:47,400 Speaker 1: have kind of traversed a unique path. You voted for Trump. 580 00:30:47,520 --> 00:30:50,680 Speaker 1: We'll get to that in a moment. But what lesson 581 00:30:50,760 --> 00:30:53,880 Speaker 1: do you think on a larger scale is out there 582 00:30:54,040 --> 00:30:58,480 Speaker 1: for media in the wake of Trump's triumph, his popular vote, 583 00:30:58,560 --> 00:31:03,720 Speaker 1: when even to Spike, CNN, NBC, ABC, CBS, Washington Post 584 00:31:03,760 --> 00:31:09,280 Speaker 1: focked the New York Times largely being propaganda for the 585 00:31:09,400 --> 00:31:12,880 Speaker 1: Kamala campaign. Where do we go from here? Again? That 586 00:31:13,000 --> 00:31:17,560 Speaker 1: CNN story, hundreds of layoffs coming as their audience is tanking. 587 00:31:18,200 --> 00:31:20,000 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean I just saw that, and I as 588 00:31:20,480 --> 00:31:22,440 Speaker 3: you were reading the intro, and I have to admit 589 00:31:22,520 --> 00:31:27,160 Speaker 3: I am smiling. You know, Brian Stelter and Oliver Darcy, 590 00:31:27,200 --> 00:31:30,240 Speaker 3: who are you know? Oliver left CNN, Brian got fired 591 00:31:30,240 --> 00:31:32,920 Speaker 3: from CNN and rehired. They both tried to have me 592 00:31:33,000 --> 00:31:35,920 Speaker 3: centered three years ago. Because that's what legacy media does 593 00:31:36,000 --> 00:31:39,160 Speaker 3: to reporters. It doesn't like it just tosses out, you know, 594 00:31:39,720 --> 00:31:40,360 Speaker 3: any effort. 595 00:31:40,960 --> 00:31:43,360 Speaker 2: Can I tell you, Alex he started his career with 596 00:31:43,440 --> 00:31:44,880 Speaker 2: me at the Blaze. 597 00:31:46,840 --> 00:31:50,520 Speaker 3: Yeah, that's fascinating. Well, maybe seeing you know, maybe he'll 598 00:31:50,520 --> 00:31:55,720 Speaker 3: wind up back there, maybe, Yeah, but you know that 599 00:31:55,800 --> 00:31:59,000 Speaker 3: they can't compete. And you know, there was a story 600 00:31:59,360 --> 00:32:01,600 Speaker 3: just before the election where somebody said, well, you know, 601 00:32:02,000 --> 00:32:04,480 Speaker 3: just the fact that you're fifty percent of the country 602 00:32:04,520 --> 00:32:08,640 Speaker 3: at a minimum have absolutely tuned out the you know, 603 00:32:08,680 --> 00:32:12,000 Speaker 3: the mainstream media and that and that Joe Rogan by 604 00:32:12,040 --> 00:32:15,600 Speaker 3: himself is probably more powerful than the entire mainstream media. 605 00:32:15,640 --> 00:32:18,080 Speaker 3: That you guys are probably more powerful than the Washington Post. 606 00:32:18,160 --> 00:32:18,280 Speaker 5: Right. 607 00:32:18,560 --> 00:32:23,000 Speaker 3: That just tells you how much trust these peopbugg burned 608 00:32:23,080 --> 00:32:26,000 Speaker 3: in the last you know, ten years, And honestly, this 609 00:32:26,080 --> 00:32:29,720 Speaker 3: year's been the worst year yet, right because because look 610 00:32:29,720 --> 00:32:32,560 Speaker 3: what happened with Joe Biden. Okay, look what happened in 611 00:32:32,600 --> 00:32:36,320 Speaker 3: the spring with Joe Biden. It was entirely clear he 612 00:32:36,360 --> 00:32:39,200 Speaker 3: couldn't function and there was a US attorney, one of 613 00:32:39,240 --> 00:32:42,080 Speaker 3: the few people outside, you know, sort of the Biden 614 00:32:42,080 --> 00:32:47,200 Speaker 3: administration outside, the cloister who got inside just to talk 615 00:32:47,240 --> 00:32:49,600 Speaker 3: to him for a couple hours, right to interview him, 616 00:32:50,240 --> 00:32:53,680 Speaker 3: you know, in the document's case, and that US attorney 617 00:32:53,720 --> 00:32:57,200 Speaker 3: in February put out a report saying this guy can't 618 00:32:57,240 --> 00:32:59,280 Speaker 3: really function, right. I mean, that wasn't the point of 619 00:32:59,320 --> 00:33:01,239 Speaker 3: the report, but there was a line in it a 620 00:33:01,280 --> 00:33:05,880 Speaker 3: well meaning elderly man with a poor memory. And the 621 00:33:05,960 --> 00:33:10,200 Speaker 3: media went crazy trying to discredit Robert Hurr, that US attorney, 622 00:33:10,520 --> 00:33:14,720 Speaker 3: and arguing with anybody who pointed out the videos showing 623 00:33:14,880 --> 00:33:18,480 Speaker 3: just how clearly senile and adele Joe Biden was and 624 00:33:18,520 --> 00:33:22,680 Speaker 3: saying they were cheat up. So they made up this 625 00:33:22,720 --> 00:33:27,000 Speaker 3: word cheap fake, and people saw for once, they got 626 00:33:27,040 --> 00:33:31,160 Speaker 3: to see Joe Biden on June twenty seventh on his own, 627 00:33:31,760 --> 00:33:34,880 Speaker 3: not having a teleprompter to help him, and they saw 628 00:33:35,080 --> 00:33:37,960 Speaker 3: how messed up he really was. And I think that 629 00:33:38,120 --> 00:33:41,240 Speaker 3: was the end. Okay, it started years and years ago, 630 00:33:41,640 --> 00:33:43,880 Speaker 3: It got worse with COVID, it got worse with the 631 00:33:43,920 --> 00:33:46,640 Speaker 3: failure of the mRNA vaccines, which they still haven't admitted, 632 00:33:46,960 --> 00:33:50,840 Speaker 3: but in June it was over. And listen, obviously, I'm 633 00:33:51,040 --> 00:33:52,920 Speaker 3: you know, I have self interested But if I ran 634 00:33:53,000 --> 00:33:55,400 Speaker 3: the New York Times, I'd be calling me okay or 635 00:33:55,440 --> 00:33:58,600 Speaker 3: Matt Tayibe or Barry wife and saying what you know, like, 636 00:33:58,880 --> 00:34:00,960 Speaker 3: I'm not asking you to run my newspaper. I'm not 637 00:34:01,080 --> 00:34:04,320 Speaker 3: asking you for even for necessarily for story ideas. But 638 00:34:04,600 --> 00:34:06,920 Speaker 3: you got to tell me, like, how did we get 639 00:34:06,960 --> 00:34:09,240 Speaker 3: so messed up that we can't even tell the truth 640 00:34:09,320 --> 00:34:12,440 Speaker 3: about something as basic as the sinility of the president. 641 00:34:14,160 --> 00:34:17,320 Speaker 2: Speaking of telling the truth, Alex, I saw your tweet 642 00:34:17,520 --> 00:34:18,799 Speaker 2: and I'm sure a lot of or I guess we 643 00:34:18,800 --> 00:34:21,600 Speaker 2: call them posts now, but I still like tweet. I 644 00:34:21,640 --> 00:34:24,680 Speaker 2: saw I saw your post on x where you said 645 00:34:24,920 --> 00:34:28,000 Speaker 2: and I'm going to paraphrase here, you also included some 646 00:34:28,120 --> 00:34:31,400 Speaker 2: information from the autopsy report. Now that we're allowed to 647 00:34:31,440 --> 00:34:34,440 Speaker 2: tell the truth again in the media, when do we 648 00:34:34,480 --> 00:34:36,520 Speaker 2: get to talk about the fact that George Floyd died 649 00:34:36,560 --> 00:34:37,320 Speaker 2: of an overdose? 650 00:34:38,120 --> 00:34:38,239 Speaker 3: Uh? 651 00:34:38,440 --> 00:34:40,880 Speaker 2: How did that go for you? I'm just wondering, like, 652 00:34:41,280 --> 00:34:42,440 Speaker 2: what go ahead? 653 00:34:43,040 --> 00:34:45,560 Speaker 3: You know? So so you know four years ago, I 654 00:34:45,600 --> 00:34:48,560 Speaker 3: would have been you know, put on my head, would 655 00:34:48,560 --> 00:34:51,400 Speaker 3: have been put on stick, like maybe quite literally. Okay, 656 00:34:51,920 --> 00:34:55,560 Speaker 3: Now that got sixty thousand likes. It got three point 657 00:34:55,600 --> 00:34:57,880 Speaker 3: six million views. It's sort of back to the COVID 658 00:34:57,960 --> 00:35:00,799 Speaker 3: days for me, where I could, you know, like where 659 00:35:00,840 --> 00:35:03,280 Speaker 3: I really could feel like, wow, a lot of people 660 00:35:03,360 --> 00:35:06,839 Speaker 3: are seeing this, and and you know, if there look, 661 00:35:06,880 --> 00:35:10,480 Speaker 3: there are a few people who disagreed, and and and 662 00:35:10,760 --> 00:35:13,120 Speaker 3: you know, you're entitled to disagree. But but like the 663 00:35:13,160 --> 00:35:14,640 Speaker 3: fact that I was able to sort of put that 664 00:35:14,719 --> 00:35:18,080 Speaker 3: out and get it seen and all it, frankly is, 665 00:35:18,080 --> 00:35:21,920 Speaker 3: is the autopsy report itself. It was striking to me. 666 00:35:21,960 --> 00:35:23,279 Speaker 3: And the other thing that was striking to me about 667 00:35:23,280 --> 00:35:25,359 Speaker 3: putting that out is you guys probably had seen that 668 00:35:25,440 --> 00:35:27,080 Speaker 3: and knew that and knew that you know, he had 669 00:35:27,120 --> 00:35:30,200 Speaker 3: such toxic levels yes, no, and that amphetamine in his blood. 670 00:35:30,440 --> 00:35:32,279 Speaker 1: We talked about it on the show quite a lot. 671 00:35:33,719 --> 00:35:36,759 Speaker 3: But so the mainstream media and the elite media did 672 00:35:36,840 --> 00:35:40,080 Speaker 3: such a good job hiding this fact that people I 673 00:35:40,160 --> 00:35:43,000 Speaker 3: know who are on the right, okay, smart conservatives, said 674 00:35:43,000 --> 00:35:45,080 Speaker 3: to me, are you sure this is real? Are you 675 00:35:45,120 --> 00:35:47,320 Speaker 3: sure you didn't get you know, faked out into putting 676 00:35:47,400 --> 00:35:50,400 Speaker 3: up something that's not true. And I said, here's the 677 00:35:50,440 --> 00:35:53,439 Speaker 3: link to the you know, the medical Examiner's office. Here's 678 00:35:53,440 --> 00:35:56,160 Speaker 3: the link that will show you that this is real. 679 00:35:56,440 --> 00:35:59,160 Speaker 3: But people, you know, that's the one thing the media 680 00:35:59,200 --> 00:36:03,480 Speaker 3: has left. They can't really they can't really drive news, 681 00:36:03,560 --> 00:36:06,800 Speaker 3: but they can hide news. So they've refused to report on, 682 00:36:07,400 --> 00:36:09,759 Speaker 3: you know, on my lossuit against the Biden administration, and 683 00:36:09,800 --> 00:36:10,799 Speaker 3: people don't know how bad. 684 00:36:11,800 --> 00:36:14,200 Speaker 2: Well, if you remember, there was also in the Trayvon 685 00:36:14,280 --> 00:36:18,600 Speaker 2: Martin casey, the photo that everybody thought of when they 686 00:36:18,600 --> 00:36:21,520 Speaker 2: thought of Trayvon Martin tended to be him. I believe 687 00:36:21,600 --> 00:36:25,200 Speaker 2: where he was twelve years old and so and to 688 00:36:25,320 --> 00:36:27,000 Speaker 2: this day, I still have people that say, oh, well, 689 00:36:27,040 --> 00:36:29,240 Speaker 2: George Zimmerman, he was that guy was just a kid. 690 00:36:29,560 --> 00:36:31,680 Speaker 2: I mean, Trayvon was I think he was eighteen, and 691 00:36:31,719 --> 00:36:33,720 Speaker 2: he was six feet tall, one hundred and eighty five pounds. 692 00:36:33,800 --> 00:36:36,560 Speaker 2: I mean he was a full grown man bashing this 693 00:36:36,640 --> 00:36:38,200 Speaker 2: guy in the face. Now I'm not, you know, some 694 00:36:38,280 --> 00:36:40,120 Speaker 2: big fan of George Zimmerman or anything. I mean, he's 695 00:36:40,160 --> 00:36:42,600 Speaker 2: had a bad stuff has happened with that guy. But 696 00:36:42,680 --> 00:36:45,839 Speaker 2: they also changed the audio you remember of Zimmerman calling 697 00:36:45,840 --> 00:36:48,440 Speaker 2: into the police. Someone actually got fired for that. But 698 00:36:48,480 --> 00:36:52,600 Speaker 2: the media constructed this entire narrative around Trayvon Martin that 699 00:36:53,000 --> 00:36:55,680 Speaker 2: was able to endure despite the fact that no, he 700 00:36:55,840 --> 00:36:57,880 Speaker 2: was not twelve when he jumped on George Zimmerman. The 701 00:36:57,920 --> 00:37:00,680 Speaker 2: other one is the photo that people people think of 702 00:37:00,719 --> 00:37:05,000 Speaker 2: with Mike Brown is his graduation photo. Right. And this 703 00:37:05,040 --> 00:37:06,640 Speaker 2: is another thing where you say, okay. 704 00:37:06,360 --> 00:37:08,800 Speaker 3: Well, pounds, right, Mike Brown was three hundred pounds. 705 00:37:09,120 --> 00:37:11,319 Speaker 2: Yes, he was a three hundred pounds man when he 706 00:37:11,400 --> 00:37:13,719 Speaker 2: was charging the police officer. But I'm just bringing up 707 00:37:13,760 --> 00:37:19,120 Speaker 2: incidents where the media has effectively rewritten the history. And 708 00:37:19,160 --> 00:37:21,000 Speaker 2: it's a lot of the time it's on these issues 709 00:37:21,000 --> 00:37:25,440 Speaker 2: of BLM or police violence, and your willingness to talk 710 00:37:25,480 --> 00:37:28,120 Speaker 2: about this issue again, when do we get to discuss 711 00:37:28,160 --> 00:37:29,720 Speaker 2: did Derek Chauvin get a fair trial? 712 00:37:30,440 --> 00:37:30,920 Speaker 3: Why? Why? 713 00:37:31,960 --> 00:37:32,680 Speaker 1: That's a great question. 714 00:37:32,719 --> 00:37:33,200 Speaker 6: You can make it. 715 00:37:33,440 --> 00:37:35,440 Speaker 3: You can make the case that, you know, maybe he's 716 00:37:35,440 --> 00:37:38,680 Speaker 3: guilty of manslaughter, maybe he you know, maybe you know, 717 00:37:38,719 --> 00:37:41,839 Speaker 3: maybe he committed assault. Right, But that man's in jail 718 00:37:41,960 --> 00:37:43,960 Speaker 3: essentially for the rest of his life, twenty two and 719 00:37:43,960 --> 00:37:46,360 Speaker 3: a half to life, and you know he's already faced 720 00:37:46,400 --> 00:37:48,680 Speaker 3: one assault in prison. I mean, I did you know 721 00:37:48,719 --> 00:37:51,719 Speaker 3: the second post that I put up after the first 722 00:37:51,719 --> 00:37:54,640 Speaker 3: one was I thought we outlawed human sacrifice, right, like 723 00:37:54,640 --> 00:37:58,400 Speaker 3: like Derek Chauvin definitely didn't get which would you know, 724 00:37:58,440 --> 00:38:02,600 Speaker 3: the trial we would all hope to get, and and 725 00:38:02,600 --> 00:38:05,840 Speaker 3: and and you know that was in large part because people, 726 00:38:05,960 --> 00:38:08,400 Speaker 3: I think pretty much knew that if he were acquitted, 727 00:38:08,560 --> 00:38:11,120 Speaker 3: there were gonna be will riots. And that's okay. 728 00:38:11,880 --> 00:38:13,879 Speaker 2: He was He was effectively handed over to the mob. 729 00:38:13,920 --> 00:38:15,759 Speaker 2: It was mob justice, even though the state did it. 730 00:38:16,160 --> 00:38:17,680 Speaker 2: And this is why I want to ask you about 731 00:38:17,760 --> 00:38:19,400 Speaker 2: Daniel Penny. I can tell you know, there's been some 732 00:38:19,400 --> 00:38:21,600 Speaker 2: New York Post reporters who have been in that courtroom, 733 00:38:21,960 --> 00:38:25,320 Speaker 2: you know, sharing what they're seeing and observing. There are 734 00:38:25,520 --> 00:38:29,640 Speaker 2: you know, activists in that courtroom, shouting and screaming and calling. 735 00:38:29,680 --> 00:38:32,200 Speaker 2: You know, they're there. They've made this a cause for 736 00:38:32,280 --> 00:38:37,000 Speaker 2: the anti police sort of NNGO apparatus. And I'm sitting here, 737 00:38:37,000 --> 00:38:39,359 Speaker 2: I'm going and there's a lot of references in the 738 00:38:39,360 --> 00:38:41,640 Speaker 2: transcript to Daniel Penny that seemed to me to be 739 00:38:41,680 --> 00:38:45,280 Speaker 2: intentionally inflammatory. Is he getting a fair trial? 740 00:38:45,320 --> 00:38:45,400 Speaker 3: Like? 741 00:38:45,520 --> 00:38:46,759 Speaker 2: Is anyone going to talk about this? 742 00:38:47,480 --> 00:38:49,520 Speaker 3: I mean, I've only seen what you've seen. It's funny. 743 00:38:49,520 --> 00:38:51,400 Speaker 3: You're making me wish that I'd gone down there and 744 00:38:51,440 --> 00:38:54,080 Speaker 3: sat in myself. I mean I've seen the references the 745 00:38:54,120 --> 00:38:58,600 Speaker 3: white guy, the white man without without you know, actually 746 00:38:58,640 --> 00:39:03,280 Speaker 3: reading the transcript like you know, I will withhold judgment. 747 00:39:03,320 --> 00:39:04,960 Speaker 3: But I think you're raising a good question. 748 00:39:06,120 --> 00:39:09,520 Speaker 1: Uh, Alex, you voted for Trump. I don't think you 749 00:39:09,640 --> 00:39:12,479 Speaker 1: voted for Trump in twenty or at least publicly didn't 750 00:39:12,520 --> 00:39:12,839 Speaker 1: say it. 751 00:39:12,920 --> 00:39:15,480 Speaker 3: I know you didn't vote for him in twenty or sixteen. 752 00:39:15,640 --> 00:39:18,160 Speaker 1: I did not twenty or sixteen. What has the reaction 753 00:39:18,400 --> 00:39:21,880 Speaker 1: been for you for voting for Trump for the first 754 00:39:21,880 --> 00:39:25,640 Speaker 1: time in twenty four? First part, Second part. I've met 755 00:39:25,640 --> 00:39:27,840 Speaker 1: a lot of people who have come up to me 756 00:39:27,920 --> 00:39:30,880 Speaker 1: and said, what you have met you're a political path. 757 00:39:30,920 --> 00:39:34,520 Speaker 1: Didn't vote Trump sixteen, didn't vote twenty The math seems 758 00:39:34,560 --> 00:39:38,240 Speaker 1: to suggest that there are millions of those people nationwide 759 00:39:38,320 --> 00:39:41,600 Speaker 1: based on the popular vote. What has the reaction been 760 00:39:41,640 --> 00:39:44,920 Speaker 1: to you since you announced you were voting Trump in 761 00:39:45,000 --> 00:39:48,520 Speaker 1: twenty four and what finally put you over to make 762 00:39:48,560 --> 00:39:51,000 Speaker 1: that choice different than you did in sixteen and twenty. 763 00:39:53,200 --> 00:39:55,080 Speaker 3: You know, some of my mother, who is the big 764 00:39:55,200 --> 00:40:00,799 Speaker 3: MSNPC viewer, is very mad at me, you know. From that, 765 00:40:00,920 --> 00:40:02,600 Speaker 3: I mean, you know, and I've gotten you know a 766 00:40:02,600 --> 00:40:05,600 Speaker 3: few ataboys from people who are readers of my substack. 767 00:40:05,960 --> 00:40:09,319 Speaker 3: Obviously my substack runs conservative, you know. And some of 768 00:40:09,320 --> 00:40:10,920 Speaker 3: those people said, well, why didn't you do it in 769 00:40:10,960 --> 00:40:16,239 Speaker 3: twenty twenty or twenty sixteen, you know you're too late. Well, 770 00:40:16,280 --> 00:40:19,279 Speaker 3: you know, I made my own decision, and I got 771 00:40:19,320 --> 00:40:23,280 Speaker 3: there my own way. You know, I would say, what 772 00:40:23,280 --> 00:40:25,880 Speaker 3: what got me over the edge? Believe it or not? 773 00:40:26,440 --> 00:40:32,919 Speaker 3: And I've been very close, but you know, I did 774 00:40:32,960 --> 00:40:36,840 Speaker 3: have I did have concerns about especially about his his 775 00:40:37,000 --> 00:40:39,160 Speaker 3: sort of unwillingness to say, look, if I lose, I'm 776 00:40:39,200 --> 00:40:42,120 Speaker 3: going to acknowledge that I lost. I didn't like that, okay, 777 00:40:42,520 --> 00:40:46,160 Speaker 3: but I'd say two things. When I actually thought about 778 00:40:46,160 --> 00:40:48,799 Speaker 3: the Biden administration and what they did to me, right 779 00:40:48,840 --> 00:40:52,160 Speaker 3: that they censored me. How could how could I not 780 00:40:53,840 --> 00:40:56,840 Speaker 3: you know, vote for the other side under those circumstances. 781 00:40:57,960 --> 00:41:01,160 Speaker 3: And you know, and people well had on the left 782 00:41:01,200 --> 00:41:03,920 Speaker 3: had been hysterical all about Donald Trump now for almost 783 00:41:03,960 --> 00:41:07,440 Speaker 3: ten years, and you know, saying he's going to be 784 00:41:07,520 --> 00:41:11,160 Speaker 3: a fascist, He's going to be a fascist. And his 785 00:41:11,200 --> 00:41:13,040 Speaker 3: first term he was not a fascist. Okay, you can 786 00:41:13,080 --> 00:41:14,719 Speaker 3: say a lot of things about him, but he wasn't 787 00:41:14,800 --> 00:41:17,720 Speaker 3: enough lateritarian, and he wasn't a fascist. So I finally 788 00:41:18,200 --> 00:41:21,399 Speaker 3: just sort of got tired of being lectured to by 789 00:41:21,440 --> 00:41:25,600 Speaker 3: all those folks. And I'll say one more thing. I 790 00:41:25,640 --> 00:41:27,600 Speaker 3: was in Iraq in two thousand and three and two 791 00:41:27,600 --> 00:41:29,840 Speaker 3: thousand and four for the New York Times. I saw 792 00:41:30,080 --> 00:41:33,480 Speaker 3: Leust prosecute that war. I saw it go badly. Okay, 793 00:41:33,920 --> 00:41:37,600 Speaker 3: I don't like Dick Chene. I don't like the Chenies. 794 00:41:38,080 --> 00:41:42,760 Speaker 3: The idea that Kamala Harris thought it was a good idea, 795 00:41:43,040 --> 00:41:46,080 Speaker 3: thought that people like me in the middle, really in 796 00:41:46,120 --> 00:41:50,799 Speaker 3: the middle, were going to be convinced by by Liz 797 00:41:50,920 --> 00:41:54,440 Speaker 3: Cheney is insane. It's such bad judgment that it almost 798 00:41:54,480 --> 00:41:56,520 Speaker 3: sort of is disqualifying. 799 00:41:57,960 --> 00:42:00,239 Speaker 2: Yeah, the fact that they wrapped there are was in 800 00:42:00,280 --> 00:42:02,040 Speaker 2: a big hug around Liz Cheney at the very end 801 00:42:02,160 --> 00:42:05,680 Speaker 2: was pretty amazing. I think a defining moment for the campaign. 802 00:42:05,760 --> 00:42:07,040 Speaker 2: Well thing, I want to ask you, Alex, we only 803 00:42:07,040 --> 00:42:09,040 Speaker 2: got about a minute and a half left, but just 804 00:42:09,400 --> 00:42:13,840 Speaker 2: wean't put this out there. Trump new administration, big Win mandate, 805 00:42:13,920 --> 00:42:17,000 Speaker 2: perhaps all these things going on. I'm not done with 806 00:42:17,040 --> 00:42:19,400 Speaker 2: the COVID maniacs. I mean, we're gonna have somebody here 807 00:42:19,440 --> 00:42:22,440 Speaker 2: in charge of you know, nih we're gonna have somebody 808 00:42:22,440 --> 00:42:28,000 Speaker 2: new in charge of CDC. How could we I'm not 809 00:42:28,080 --> 00:42:30,840 Speaker 2: saying like like public guitar and feather, like that's a 810 00:42:30,880 --> 00:42:33,480 Speaker 2: medieval thing. We don't do that anymore, but like, how 811 00:42:33,560 --> 00:42:35,560 Speaker 2: could we get some accountability for this? 812 00:42:36,239 --> 00:42:38,200 Speaker 3: Well, great question, So and I know it on much 813 00:42:38,200 --> 00:42:40,680 Speaker 3: Sam too. I'll say two things. Hopefully they opened the 814 00:42:40,719 --> 00:42:43,640 Speaker 3: books and and sort of reveal Partly, you know, I'd 815 00:42:43,760 --> 00:42:46,680 Speaker 3: like that for myself in my lawsuit, right, but but 816 00:42:46,880 --> 00:42:48,640 Speaker 3: I think it'd be really good to open the books 817 00:42:48,680 --> 00:42:52,200 Speaker 3: and see what CDC knew, what they were in the FDA, 818 00:42:52,360 --> 00:42:54,560 Speaker 3: what they were talking to the companies about in twenty 819 00:42:54,680 --> 00:42:57,560 Speaker 3: twenty one in the summer, as the vaccines were failing, 820 00:42:57,760 --> 00:43:00,840 Speaker 3: really failing for the first time, because there's information that 821 00:43:00,880 --> 00:43:03,520 Speaker 3: hasn't come out. The second thing, and this is this 822 00:43:03,600 --> 00:43:06,440 Speaker 3: is both about the COVID vaccines but all vaccines. I'm 823 00:43:06,480 --> 00:43:08,120 Speaker 3: a very big fan of this. I'm going to keep 824 00:43:08,120 --> 00:43:12,000 Speaker 3: writing about it. So there are two products you can't 825 00:43:12,040 --> 00:43:14,720 Speaker 3: sue over in the United States. One is social media. 826 00:43:14,800 --> 00:43:17,520 Speaker 3: You basically can't sue them for any reason, and the 827 00:43:17,640 --> 00:43:20,640 Speaker 3: other are vaccines, not other drugs. If something goes wrong 828 00:43:20,680 --> 00:43:22,600 Speaker 3: and you take a drugs you can sue the company. 829 00:43:22,920 --> 00:43:25,400 Speaker 3: But if it's a vaccine, if it's called a vaccine, 830 00:43:25,440 --> 00:43:29,480 Speaker 3: if it's an mRNA vaccine, you basically can't sue. And 831 00:43:30,239 --> 00:43:34,160 Speaker 3: you know, it's funny, like I'm such a Republican, I'm joking. 832 00:43:34,760 --> 00:43:38,880 Speaker 3: I really believe like in our tort system, right, Like 833 00:43:39,080 --> 00:43:42,839 Speaker 3: it's really important. And the fact that the Democrats want 834 00:43:43,160 --> 00:43:46,880 Speaker 3: and have given vaccine companies immunity is crazy and that 835 00:43:47,040 --> 00:43:47,920 Speaker 3: needs to go away. 836 00:43:49,640 --> 00:43:52,560 Speaker 2: I agree, totally agree. All right, Well, can you keep 837 00:43:52,600 --> 00:43:54,439 Speaker 2: coming on here. We're going to keep banging this drum 838 00:43:54,520 --> 00:43:57,239 Speaker 2: on all these issues and just drop like massive truth 839 00:43:57,320 --> 00:44:00,120 Speaker 2: bonds from thirty thousand feet because as you see that, 840 00:44:00,160 --> 00:44:02,880 Speaker 2: people respond. People like the truth. And now because of 841 00:44:02,960 --> 00:44:05,160 Speaker 2: Elon at least on X and on your substack, which 842 00:44:05,160 --> 00:44:08,120 Speaker 2: people should go subscribe to unreported truths, you can get 843 00:44:08,160 --> 00:44:10,520 Speaker 2: it out there. So Alex, it's been quite a journey. 844 00:44:10,560 --> 00:44:11,359 Speaker 2: Thanks for being with us. 845 00:44:11,560 --> 00:44:12,400 Speaker 3: I will come on. 846 00:44:12,560 --> 00:44:15,680 Speaker 2: Thanks guys, fantastic, thank you.

Appreciate all of you hanging out with us. 876 00:45:42,000 --> 00:45:43,520 Speaker 2: I wanted to play a couple of cuts for you. 877 00:45:44,160 --> 00:45:47,640 Speaker 2: First of all, reports out there that Marco Rubio is 878 00:45:47,760 --> 00:45:51,000 Speaker 2: going to be Secretary of State. This guy would be 879 00:45:51,040 --> 00:45:54,520 Speaker 2: an absolute hawk on a ran, on China, on Cuba, 880 00:45:55,040 --> 00:45:59,759 Speaker 2: but also on Israel's right to defend itself. Center Marco 881 00:46:00,920 --> 00:46:04,920 Speaker 2: was confronted in the halls of Congress and asked about 882 00:46:04,960 --> 00:46:09,320 Speaker 2: whether he was concerned about too many casualties for Hamas. 883 00:46:09,920 --> 00:46:11,200 Speaker 1: This is what he had to say. 884 00:46:16,239 --> 00:46:17,160 Speaker 3: I want you to get this. 885 00:46:17,320 --> 00:46:19,520 Speaker 4: I want them to destroy every element of Hamas they 886 00:46:19,520 --> 00:46:21,959 Speaker 4: can get their hands on, because people are viscious. 887 00:46:21,640 --> 00:46:23,640 Speaker 2: Animals who did horrifying crimes. 888 00:46:23,840 --> 00:46:24,880 Speaker 4: And I hope you guys post that. 889 00:46:25,239 --> 00:46:26,600 Speaker 2: What about the civilians? 890 00:46:27,680 --> 00:46:30,880 Speaker 4: Every day, Hamas stopped hiding behind civilians, putting civilians in 891 00:46:30,960 --> 00:46:32,680 Speaker 4: the way. Hamas knew that this was going to lead 892 00:46:32,719 --> 00:46:32,880 Speaker 4: to this. 893 00:46:33,200 --> 00:46:36,640 Speaker 3: Hamas has stopped building their military installations underneath hospital. 894 00:46:36,719 --> 00:46:39,719 Speaker 5: So you don't the fifteen thousand, you don't care about 895 00:46:39,719 --> 00:46:41,440 Speaker 5: the babies that are every day. 896 00:46:41,760 --> 00:46:44,280 Speaker 2: I think it's terms is one hundred percent to blame. 897 00:46:45,360 --> 00:46:48,680 Speaker 1: So that is Rubio steadfast. That was from December of 898 00:46:48,760 --> 00:46:52,800 Speaker 1: twenty three, again not official, but reports that Rubio is 899 00:46:52,880 --> 00:46:56,160 Speaker 1: going to be the choice for Secretary of State Florida senator. 900 00:46:56,280 --> 00:46:59,319 Speaker 1: That would give Ron DeSantis, for those of you who 901 00:46:59,320 --> 00:47:03,560 Speaker 1: are big to same fans, an opportunity to appoint someone 902 00:47:04,480 --> 00:47:06,839 Speaker 1: to serve out the rest of or the next couple 903 00:47:06,840 --> 00:47:09,520 Speaker 1: of years of Marco Rubio's term. We'll see what ends 904 00:47:09,600 --> 00:47:12,080 Speaker 1: up happening there. I also buck one of the big 905 00:47:12,200 --> 00:47:15,440 Speaker 1: questions to me as we await the final tally, but 906 00:47:15,640 --> 00:47:18,560 Speaker 1: know that Donald Trump has won the electoral College with 907 00:47:18,640 --> 00:47:21,920 Speaker 1: three hundred and twelve votes, is now comfortably going to 908 00:47:22,080 --> 00:47:25,320 Speaker 1: win the popular vote as well, is would there be 909 00:47:25,760 --> 00:47:29,719 Speaker 1: rational Democrats who stand up and say, hey, maybe we 910 00:47:29,840 --> 00:47:31,520 Speaker 1: need to look in the mirror. Some of the things 911 00:47:31,560 --> 00:47:34,839 Speaker 1: that we argued for are absurd. One of them, I'll 912 00:47:34,880 --> 00:47:40,000 Speaker 1: give him credit. Democrat Congressman Seth Moulton said, hey, we've 913 00:47:40,040 --> 00:47:43,600 Speaker 1: got to stop with trying to argue that men pretending 914 00:47:43,719 --> 00:47:47,560 Speaker 1: to be women should be able to compete in women's championships. 915 00:47:48,200 --> 00:47:53,280 Speaker 1: He's being lacerated by the left. He went on MSNBC, 916 00:47:53,840 --> 00:47:56,120 Speaker 1: and this is what he had to say about that. 917 00:47:58,880 --> 00:48:02,080 Speaker 6: I heard a number of people within the Biden administration, 918 00:48:02,640 --> 00:48:05,279 Speaker 6: other foreign policy leaders, who also all sort of said 919 00:48:05,320 --> 00:48:08,280 Speaker 6: with almost in one voice quote it could. 920 00:48:08,080 --> 00:48:08,600 Speaker 1: Have been worse. 921 00:48:08,880 --> 00:48:11,440 Speaker 6: In terms of the Rubio pick, that he is a senator, 922 00:48:11,480 --> 00:48:14,480 Speaker 6: he does have some national security credentials, he has been 923 00:48:14,520 --> 00:48:16,840 Speaker 6: a believer in NATO. Now, of course he's going to 924 00:48:16,880 --> 00:48:18,400 Speaker 6: serve with the pleasure as a president. He's going to 925 00:48:18,440 --> 00:48:21,480 Speaker 6: carry out Trump's agenda, but he's at least something of 926 00:48:21,600 --> 00:48:25,879 Speaker 6: a reassuring figure. Also, it's just who doesn't get that job, 927 00:48:26,200 --> 00:48:28,719 Speaker 6: the Rick Grenell's, the cash hotels of the world, who, 928 00:48:29,040 --> 00:48:32,840 Speaker 6: you know, the real firebrands of the right of mago world, 929 00:48:32,960 --> 00:48:35,200 Speaker 6: who there was real concern might be put in the 930 00:48:35,320 --> 00:48:38,160 Speaker 6: foggy bottom post. At least for this, there's a sense 931 00:48:38,200 --> 00:48:40,719 Speaker 6: that this the Rubio pick, is a signal that there 932 00:48:40,760 --> 00:48:42,480 Speaker 6: might be at least some grown ups in the room. 933 00:48:42,960 --> 00:48:45,000 Speaker 1: All right, that is not what I called for, But 934 00:48:45,120 --> 00:48:48,719 Speaker 1: that is more of the analysis of the Rubio decision. 935 00:48:48,920 --> 00:48:51,640 Speaker 1: In the event that that becomes the finality. I was 936 00:48:51,719 --> 00:48:56,000 Speaker 1: talking about cut fifteen here and cut sixteen Seth Molten 937 00:48:56,400 --> 00:48:59,920 Speaker 1: being ripped to shreds for saying something really quite uh 938 00:49:00,200 --> 00:49:03,840 Speaker 1: clear that is not controversial for eighty or ninety percent 939 00:49:04,040 --> 00:49:06,440 Speaker 1: of Americans. Let's start with cut fifteen. 940 00:49:06,680 --> 00:49:10,160 Speaker 7: When people like this and our party try to cancel 941 00:49:10,280 --> 00:49:14,880 Speaker 7: me or whoever else, they're also talking down, they're canceling 942 00:49:15,000 --> 00:49:18,279 Speaker 7: the views of a vast majority of Americans. And so 943 00:49:18,840 --> 00:49:21,080 Speaker 7: how on earth are we going to win elections if 944 00:49:21,200 --> 00:49:23,279 Speaker 7: that's our approach, that we just want to preach down 945 00:49:23,320 --> 00:49:26,440 Speaker 7: to people and tell them that they're morally wrong if 946 00:49:26,480 --> 00:49:27,200 Speaker 7: they don't meet. 947 00:49:27,160 --> 00:49:29,520 Speaker 2: Some strict ideological purity tests. 948 00:49:30,360 --> 00:49:33,400 Speaker 1: He continued with more cut sixteen. 949 00:49:33,239 --> 00:49:36,080 Speaker 7: The founders of this crazy concept called freedom of speech, 950 00:49:36,480 --> 00:49:40,160 Speaker 7: and we Democrats would do well to remember that foundational 951 00:49:40,239 --> 00:49:43,480 Speaker 7: American value. Because we can't talk about these tough issues, 952 00:49:43,480 --> 00:49:44,960 Speaker 7: we're never going to win on them. And guess what, 953 00:49:45,040 --> 00:49:46,719 Speaker 7: you know who's going to get hurt the most. It's 954 00:49:46,840 --> 00:49:50,279 Speaker 7: trans kids, it's minorities across America. We're going to be 955 00:49:50,360 --> 00:49:53,960 Speaker 7: attacked by this eightful Trump agenda. And if we don't 956 00:49:53,960 --> 00:49:57,040 Speaker 7: have a rational response, then rope Republicans are just going 957 00:49:57,120 --> 00:49:57,759 Speaker 7: to carry the day. 958 00:49:57,800 --> 00:49:59,160 Speaker 3: That's what Harris's problem was. 959 00:49:59,239 --> 00:50:01,959 Speaker 7: She didn't have a risk sponse to this issue because 960 00:50:02,000 --> 00:50:04,319 Speaker 7: she was so afraid to even raise it, and as 961 00:50:04,360 --> 00:50:06,440 Speaker 7: a result, Trump frusture on it. 962 00:50:07,200 --> 00:50:11,560 Speaker 1: Because Trump's right sometimes bucked. There are right and wrong issues. 963 00:50:12,360 --> 00:50:16,680 Speaker 1: The fact that seth Moulton tiptoeing up to, hey, maybe 964 00:50:16,920 --> 00:50:20,760 Speaker 1: dudes shouldn't be able to win women's championships is causing 965 00:50:20,960 --> 00:50:24,760 Speaker 1: explosive criticism for him from the left in this country. 966 00:50:25,000 --> 00:50:27,160 Speaker 1: It ties in. I think I was telling you off air. 967 00:50:27,640 --> 00:50:30,880 Speaker 1: Nate Silver, who we had on earlier, is a data 968 00:50:30,960 --> 00:50:34,440 Speaker 1: stattician guy from the left. But he said when he 969 00:50:34,480 --> 00:50:38,640 Speaker 1: would share his forecast, Republicans would say, Okay, it's a 970 00:50:38,680 --> 00:50:41,600 Speaker 1: fifty to fifty election. I like this data element, I 971 00:50:41,760 --> 00:50:44,360 Speaker 1: agree with this, disagree with that. They would have a conversation. 972 00:50:45,040 --> 00:50:48,360 Speaker 1: He said, anytime he said something other than Kamala Harris 973 00:50:48,480 --> 00:50:52,440 Speaker 1: is going to win comfortably, Democrats would lose their mind. 974 00:50:53,000 --> 00:50:56,440 Speaker 1: They're a cult and the woke mind virus, as Elon 975 00:50:56,560 --> 00:51:01,120 Speaker 1: has called it, has deeply infected huge person of their 976 00:51:01,280 --> 00:51:05,040 Speaker 1: cult fan base and their cult voting block to an 977 00:51:05,080 --> 00:51:09,160 Speaker 1: extent that even a Democrat congressman just trying a bare 978 00:51:09,360 --> 00:51:13,960 Speaker 1: semblance of common sense is being universally attacked on the 979 00:51:14,120 --> 00:51:18,640 Speaker 1: left for not bowing down to the cult's belief that 980 00:51:18,880 --> 00:51:19,919 Speaker 1: men can become women. 981 00:51:21,120 --> 00:51:23,480 Speaker 2: This is going to continue to be a huge problem 982 00:51:23,640 --> 00:51:28,279 Speaker 2: for them. I think at the national level, they they 983 00:51:28,480 --> 00:51:31,440 Speaker 2: cannot win on this issue with the country as it 984 00:51:31,600 --> 00:51:36,600 Speaker 2: is now. They may think that they are able to 985 00:51:37,000 --> 00:51:39,200 Speaker 2: change the country, and I think that's certainly what the 986 00:51:39,440 --> 00:51:44,319 Speaker 2: extreme Democrats believe on this issue, or the extreme left 987 00:51:44,320 --> 00:51:48,960 Speaker 2: believes on this issue, but they simply cannot win right 988 00:51:49,040 --> 00:51:51,479 Speaker 2: now with the country as it is. And the fact 989 00:51:51,560 --> 00:51:53,560 Speaker 2: that after this kind of an election, they would all, 990 00:51:54,400 --> 00:51:57,359 Speaker 2: you know, it's interesting me people say this, and they'll 991 00:51:57,400 --> 00:52:03,000 Speaker 2: attack you online and you'll hear from but nobody will 992 00:52:03,000 --> 00:52:05,360 Speaker 2: go on TV to defend this position against somebody of 993 00:52:06,320 --> 00:52:09,880 Speaker 2: you know, relatively equal standing on whether it's media or 994 00:52:09,920 --> 00:52:13,520 Speaker 2: in politics, right, you won't have There is not a 995 00:52:13,600 --> 00:52:17,520 Speaker 2: single Democrat who will go on TV and debate the issue. 996 00:52:17,560 --> 00:52:19,880 Speaker 2: They'll talk to people about it, they'll talk to like 997 00:52:19,960 --> 00:52:23,000 Speaker 2: a CNN propagandist about it, but they will not openly 998 00:52:23,160 --> 00:52:27,880 Speaker 2: debate the issue of whether or not boys have an 999 00:52:27,880 --> 00:52:28,960 Speaker 2: advantage over girl. 1000 00:52:28,840 --> 00:52:31,960 Speaker 1: Tink about how crazy that is. They won't even allow 1001 00:52:32,080 --> 00:52:34,919 Speaker 1: the conversation to occur, and we played that audio even 1002 00:52:35,000 --> 00:52:40,640 Speaker 1: on CNN. When the conversation happened, it was immediately derided 1003 00:52:40,680 --> 00:52:44,200 Speaker 1: as hate language, and they tried to shout down the 1004 00:52:44,440 --> 00:52:48,880 Speaker 1: very argument that this is absurd and buck this is 1005 00:52:48,960 --> 00:52:52,879 Speaker 1: an eighty twenty issue. The fact that Kamala has never 1006 00:52:52,960 --> 00:52:55,879 Speaker 1: been asked that question, the fact that Biden has never 1007 00:52:55,960 --> 00:52:59,320 Speaker 1: been asked that question, is proof that we live in 1008 00:52:59,440 --> 00:53:03,279 Speaker 1: a fundamental artificial media age. Because if the media's job 1009 00:53:03,360 --> 00:53:06,520 Speaker 1: is to ask questions that people care about, how in 1010 00:53:06,600 --> 00:53:08,719 Speaker 1: the world has that question never been asked. I mean, 1011 00:53:08,840 --> 00:53:13,200 Speaker 1: OutKick asked that question of Don Staley, the University of 1012 00:53:13,239 --> 00:53:16,719 Speaker 1: South Carolina women's basketball coach. She said men should be 1013 00:53:16,840 --> 00:53:19,640 Speaker 1: able to play on women's teams, which I think is crazy, 1014 00:53:19,719 --> 00:53:23,000 Speaker 1: but at least she answered it. The other fifteen Sweet 1015 00:53:23,120 --> 00:53:27,560 Speaker 1: sixteen coaches wouldn't even respond to our question. I mean, 1016 00:53:27,719 --> 00:53:31,040 Speaker 1: this is not a healthy democracy when that many people 1017 00:53:31,239 --> 00:53:34,560 Speaker 1: are terrified to tell you something that they all know 1018 00:53:35,480 --> 00:53:38,960 Speaker 1: is wrong. Right, anybody who's ever played sports knows that 1019 00:53:39,080 --> 00:53:41,680 Speaker 1: the idea of men being able to play women's sports 1020 00:53:41,760 --> 00:53:44,200 Speaker 1: is fundamentally wrong, just like me playing Little League would 1021 00:53:44,239 --> 00:53:47,400 Speaker 1: be wrong, like it violates the very essence of competition. 1022 00:53:49,360 --> 00:53:51,759 Speaker 2: It's insane. This is not I don't disagree with them. 1023 00:53:51,800 --> 00:53:55,680 Speaker 2: I think people that think otherwise are living in a delusion. 1024 00:53:56,600 --> 00:53:59,920 Speaker 2: They're disconnected from reality that what they're saying is absurd. 1025 00:54:01,360 --> 00:54:05,800 Speaker 2: It is up and down. They just demand that you 1026 00:54:06,000 --> 00:54:09,520 Speaker 2: celebrate falsehood with this, and I think that everybody should 1027 00:54:09,520 --> 00:54:10,759 Speaker 2: see this for what it is. 1028 00:54:10,840 --> 00:54:11,040 Speaker 5: It is. 1029 00:54:11,160 --> 00:54:15,040 Speaker 2: Unfortunately, there's some deep ideological reasons why this is so 1030 00:54:15,200 --> 00:54:18,359 Speaker 2: important to the left, but it is unfortunately the case 1031 00:54:18,520 --> 00:54:22,839 Speaker 2: that they're going to continue on with this because there's 1032 00:54:22,880 --> 00:54:26,680 Speaker 2: a whole there is a whole apparatus of pushing this 1033 00:54:26,880 --> 00:54:31,200 Speaker 2: of NGOs. You know, imagine also Clay, all of the 1034 00:54:31,239 --> 00:54:36,400 Speaker 2: people who have been convinced, whether they're medical personnel or parents, 1035 00:54:37,080 --> 00:54:42,319 Speaker 2: convinced bimedical personnel to let's say, trans their children through sterilization, 1036 00:54:42,480 --> 00:54:45,440 Speaker 2: drugs and even possibly surgery top surgery, things like that. 1037 00:54:46,040 --> 00:54:48,280 Speaker 2: And this is why Elon Musk became so red pilled. 1038 00:54:48,640 --> 00:54:52,160 Speaker 2: So many people aren't going to ever want to accept 1039 00:54:52,520 --> 00:54:55,440 Speaker 2: that they have been a part of something that irrevocably 1040 00:54:55,960 --> 00:55:01,279 Speaker 2: hurts children. They have hurt children in ways far more 1041 00:55:01,400 --> 00:55:04,520 Speaker 2: severe than any of them are going to ever want 1042 00:55:04,560 --> 00:55:08,160 Speaker 2: to own up to. And that's the challenge that you 1043 00:55:08,280 --> 00:55:09,759 Speaker 2: have with this is that you have a sort of 1044 00:55:09,960 --> 00:55:12,680 Speaker 2: built in base of people that will believe to the 1045 00:55:12,840 --> 00:55:15,720 Speaker 2: very end. You got to give puberty blockers to thirteen 1046 00:55:15,800 --> 00:55:17,719 Speaker 2: year olds who a little confused about their place in 1047 00:55:17,800 --> 00:55:21,320 Speaker 2: the world because medicine it's insane. 1048 00:55:21,800 --> 00:55:24,320 Speaker 1: All of that. I tweeted this earlier Buck because the 1049 00:55:24,680 --> 00:55:28,839 Speaker 1: story came out. At least fourteen thousand children have had 1050 00:55:28,920 --> 00:55:33,480 Speaker 1: their ovaries, their penises, their breast or had those removed 1051 00:55:34,080 --> 00:55:37,640 Speaker 1: or been surgically or chemically castrated in America in the 1052 00:55:37,719 --> 00:55:43,600 Speaker 1: past five years. Fourteen thousand kids. These are miners. All 1053 00:55:43,719 --> 00:55:46,279 Speaker 1: of the people lecturing you that you are on the 1054 00:55:46,400 --> 00:55:49,359 Speaker 1: wrong side of history and that they're on the right 1055 00:55:49,480 --> 00:55:54,240 Speaker 1: side of history have been chemically castrating children and genitally 1056 00:55:54,400 --> 00:55:59,000 Speaker 1: mutilating them. That's their argument. I can't believe we're here, 1057 00:55:59,120 --> 00:56:01,800 Speaker 1: but that is the reality of what we are facing, 1058 00:56:02,080 --> 00:56:05,719 Speaker 1: and still so many refuse to acknowledge that reality. I 1059 00:56:05,800 --> 00:56:08,120 Speaker 1: want to tell you this year has seen some of 1060 00:56:08,120 --> 00:56:12,000 Speaker 1: the biggest data breaches in recent history. Companies like AT 1061 00:56:12,120 --> 00:56:14,279 Speaker 1: and T ticket Master there at the top of the list. 1062 00:56:14,400 --> 00:56:17,920 Speaker 1: Millions of online records stolen. So many people have been 1063 00:56:17,960 --> 00:56:21,080 Speaker 1: compromised by no fault of their own. If your personal 1064 00:56:21,200 --> 00:56:23,440 Speaker 1: data was exposed in a breach, you could be at 1065 00:56:23,520 --> 00:56:26,680 Speaker 1: risk as well.
