1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,360
Speaker 1: Welcome to today's edition of the Clay Travis and Buck

2
00:00:03,400 --> 00:00:06,480
Speaker 1: Sexton Show podcast. All right, second hour of Clay and

3
00:00:06,600 --> 00:00:09,400
Speaker 1: Buck kicks off right now, everybody, thank you for being here.

4
00:00:09,480 --> 00:00:13,200
Speaker 1: We've got some news coming out of New York City.

5
00:00:13,200 --> 00:00:14,280
Speaker 1: I wanted to get series.

6
00:00:15,040 --> 00:00:15,159
Speaker 2: Oh.

7
00:00:15,200 --> 00:00:17,880
Speaker 1: I mentioned at the top of the show, our good

8
00:00:17,880 --> 00:00:21,959
Speaker 1: friend mister Sean Hannity, the one and only. He is

9
00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:25,400
Speaker 1: now a Florida residence. He announced it, which is great.

10
00:00:25,960 --> 00:00:29,000
Speaker 1: I'm a Florida resident. Shwan's a Florida resident. If you

11
00:00:29,080 --> 00:00:32,000
Speaker 1: started to add up all the people who work in

12
00:00:32,920 --> 00:00:37,720
Speaker 1: conservative media who either live in or spend at least

13
00:00:37,760 --> 00:00:40,320
Speaker 1: half the year in Florida, I think people would be

14
00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:46,720
Speaker 1: pretty amazed at the concentration of media figures, particularly on

15
00:00:46,760 --> 00:00:49,720
Speaker 1: the right here in the Sunshine State. But I bring

16
00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:52,960
Speaker 1: it up because, as Sean said, didn't mix, didn't mince

17
00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:56,760
Speaker 1: any words. You know, it's because the taxes and the crime,

18
00:00:56,880 --> 00:00:59,440
Speaker 1: and the poor governance and the mess. I mean, the

19
00:00:59,480 --> 00:01:02,480
Speaker 1: reason that so many of us, myself included, have decided.

20
00:01:02,560 --> 00:01:05,640
Speaker 1: And I mean, I love New York City. I will

21
00:01:05,680 --> 00:01:09,160
Speaker 1: say this, I will always love New York City. It

22
00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:11,119
Speaker 1: will always feel like home to me. I think more

23
00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:15,840
Speaker 1: than any other place. But I had to make a change,

24
00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:18,760
Speaker 1: and I still go back frequently my family. Half my

25
00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:20,640
Speaker 1: family is in New York. Half my family is now

26
00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:25,800
Speaker 1: in Florida. But I see what's happening, and this goes

27
00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:29,360
Speaker 1: right to it. Two things that are really tied together

28
00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:33,000
Speaker 1: in my mind, as I think it's obvious that they

29
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:38,000
Speaker 1: are mayor. Eric Adams says this just came out. Well,

30
00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:40,360
Speaker 1: this has been true all along. But he said that

31
00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:43,920
Speaker 1: and admits that New York City is not allowed to

32
00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:46,560
Speaker 1: this is a daily mail headline turn migrants over to

33
00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:49,000
Speaker 1: ice agents, and he says that people are going to

34
00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:53,600
Speaker 1: be sleeping on the streets. There are too many migrants

35
00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:56,200
Speaker 1: for the system in New York. And I agree with

36
00:01:56,200 --> 00:01:59,400
Speaker 1: you the term migrants. It's hard to get around this.

37
00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:03,559
Speaker 1: Let me tell you why. Because they've entered the country illegally,

38
00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:08,880
Speaker 1: but they are in the country under the false pretense,

39
00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:10,800
Speaker 1: but it is still the pretense that they are trying

40
00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:13,320
Speaker 1: to get asylum, and so this is why they are

41
00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:17,400
Speaker 1: referred to as migrants or asylum seekers. The challenge here

42
00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:20,080
Speaker 1: is we all know they're not going to get asylum,

43
00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:22,320
Speaker 1: or ninety percent of them are not going to get asylum.

44
00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:24,960
Speaker 1: And we also know that they will not be deported,

45
00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:28,720
Speaker 1: which is the law as it pertains to asylum. That

46
00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:32,200
Speaker 1: is what it states if and when they are denied

47
00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:34,520
Speaker 1: their asylum claim, which almost all of them will be.

48
00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:36,720
Speaker 1: So do you see what I mean is they've created

49
00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:40,640
Speaker 1: this situation where you can be attacked if you say

50
00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:44,240
Speaker 1: that these are illegal aliens. There are people who are

51
00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:46,880
Speaker 1: going to say, no, they're asylum seekers. They're just waiting

52
00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:50,080
Speaker 1: for their day in court. It is bad faith, it

53
00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:55,480
Speaker 1: is cynical, but you can see how it complicates matters.

54
00:02:55,560 --> 00:03:00,880
Speaker 1: Right their entry into the country is illegal. They're refusal

55
00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:03,240
Speaker 1: to show up at But the courts are so backlogged

56
00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:06,120
Speaker 1: now I think it's three million plus cases, three million

57
00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:09,800
Speaker 1: court cases. Think about that. You know how many immigration

58
00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:13,639
Speaker 1: judges do we even have. It's a disaster, the whole thing,

59
00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:16,640
Speaker 1: and it's a disaster that is man made. The system

60
00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:19,320
Speaker 1: is overwhelmed. But the system is overwhelmed because of decisions

61
00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:23,600
Speaker 1: that people in the Democrat Party primarily, but not only

62
00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:28,560
Speaker 1: there are Republicans who are right alongside them. They take

63
00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:31,160
Speaker 1: those checks from the donor class and from the Chamber

64
00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:34,280
Speaker 1: of Commerce and they're, oh, we need cheap labor. Think

65
00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:37,120
Speaker 1: about that, all of them. What really, America's got three

66
00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:39,800
Speaker 1: hundred and thirty million people, we have to import cheap labor.

67
00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:43,000
Speaker 1: H what's that all about? Why is that labor cheaper?

68
00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:47,240
Speaker 1: Let's think about this for a minute, because people are

69
00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:50,240
Speaker 1: being exploited. And also the costs of dealing with the

70
00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:53,920
Speaker 1: cheaper labor, particularly with English as a second language in

71
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:56,960
Speaker 1: the schools and with you know, healthcare being given in

72
00:03:57,000 --> 00:04:01,440
Speaker 1: the emergency rooms. That cost is all soed onto the

73
00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:06,360
Speaker 1: tax payer. You say, oh, yeah, no, wonder they like

74
00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:10,880
Speaker 1: they get to pay below rate wages, not pay benefits.

75
00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:17,839
Speaker 1: And then the extremely high chance, high probability of being

76
00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:20,400
Speaker 1: a welfare dependent for the people that are in the

77
00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:24,279
Speaker 1: country illegally in some way or another, is then everyone

78
00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:26,520
Speaker 1: else's expense. Right, So, yeah, this is great for the

79
00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:28,400
Speaker 1: people that can use the cheap labor in this way,

80
00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:32,600
Speaker 1: but it's wrong and it's illegal, and that's why it's illegal.

81
00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:35,919
Speaker 1: But I bring this up because Eric Adams says that

82
00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:38,560
Speaker 1: New York City is not allowed to turn migrants over

83
00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:41,640
Speaker 1: to Immigrations and Customs of Enforcement. At the same time,

84
00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:45,080
Speaker 1: the Biden administration is going to court and saying Texas

85
00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:50,160
Speaker 1: has to remove its razor wire. They are anti immigration

86
00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:54,800
Speaker 1: law period. They do not want enforcement of these laws.

87
00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:58,440
Speaker 1: They will stand in the way. They will use the

88
00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:04,720
Speaker 1: force of law to prevent people from enforcing immigration law.

89
00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:08,479
Speaker 1: Think about that for a moment. Think about what the

90
00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:13,960
Speaker 1: implications are. Think about what it means that this is

91
00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:17,240
Speaker 1: the position the Biden administration is taking. They are on

92
00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:22,000
Speaker 1: the side of continued lawlessness. They are on the side

93
00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:27,119
Speaker 1: of the continuation of Now we're looking at three hundred

94
00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:31,480
Speaker 1: thousand a month, three hundred thousand people a month. How

95
00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:34,440
Speaker 1: many of you living in a city or a town

96
00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:37,279
Speaker 1: with less than three hundred thousand people? A lot, probably

97
00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:39,800
Speaker 1: a vast majority, And you say, well, why does this

98
00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:42,360
Speaker 1: matter so much? I lay out some of the reasons

99
00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:49,480
Speaker 1: and some of the obvious downsides to this, but here's one,

100
00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:56,800
Speaker 1: and this one. I'm I am particularly irascible on this

101
00:05:56,960 --> 00:06:00,400
Speaker 1: issue because I have a theory, having spent some of

102
00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:05,359
Speaker 1: my time overseas, back in my CIA analyst days, in

103
00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:09,200
Speaker 1: countries that I think Trump would describe as a hellhole,

104
00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:12,520
Speaker 1: or actually now he used a different term, but nasty countries,

105
00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:19,640
Speaker 1: countries where people are are unfortunately exposed to far too

106
00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:25,600
Speaker 1: much corruption, disease, violence, disorder, lawlessness, all of those things. Right,

107
00:06:26,640 --> 00:06:29,000
Speaker 1: I'm gonna tell you one of the things that you

108
00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:36,120
Speaker 1: can use right away to tell you about the civilization

109
00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:40,560
Speaker 1: that you are in and the level of how civil

110
00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:45,839
Speaker 1: the society is is what does it do with its trash?

111
00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:48,839
Speaker 1: It's just the truth. Any of you listen to me

112
00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:51,000
Speaker 1: who have spent real time in the Third World, No,

113
00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:57,520
Speaker 1: there is trash everywhere, and no one cares. I mean

114
00:06:57,520 --> 00:07:00,839
Speaker 1: it's just, you know, just on the side of the highways,

115
00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:05,000
Speaker 1: people just throw plastic bags full of garbage, full of refuse,

116
00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:08,880
Speaker 1: you know, boom sprays open all over the place, all

117
00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:12,280
Speaker 1: over the place. You got uh into poor countries and

118
00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:19,280
Speaker 1: there's if there's any uh, you know, any concentration of people,

119
00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:24,720
Speaker 1: any population center, there's just garbage everywhere everywhere, And that

120
00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:26,880
Speaker 1: to me is always one of the Now there are

121
00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:28,840
Speaker 1: obviously rural parts of poor countries we won't see in

122
00:07:28,840 --> 00:07:31,040
Speaker 1: the garbage. But I'm talking about in the city centers,

123
00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:33,600
Speaker 1: the population centers, you will see trash everywhere. I mean,

124
00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:39,840
Speaker 1: I've been in places where children were walking around in

125
00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:45,480
Speaker 1: massive slums of of you know, cinder sort of cinder

126
00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:47,320
Speaker 1: block and and I mean, I guess you call it

127
00:07:47,320 --> 00:07:52,720
Speaker 1: a shanty like corrugated metal roofs and the most rudimentary,

128
00:07:52,760 --> 00:07:56,840
Speaker 1: no indoor plumbing, and walked around and there's trash absolutely everywhere.

129
00:07:57,520 --> 00:07:59,120
Speaker 1: In the one place I'm thinking of, there were actually

130
00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:01,160
Speaker 1: goats that were walking around just kind of like picking

131
00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:04,040
Speaker 1: through the trash. And there are children walking around in

132
00:08:04,280 --> 00:08:07,320
Speaker 1: little streams that go around the houses, just raw sewage.

133
00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:12,040
Speaker 1: And this is a bad sign for how a society

134
00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:16,960
Speaker 1: is doing trash and it has a psychological impact. Now

135
00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:18,520
Speaker 1: I'm talking about some of the poorest I've been in

136
00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:22,600
Speaker 1: some of the poorest places in the world and it

137
00:08:22,640 --> 00:08:25,520
Speaker 1: was eye opening. Now, not suggesting that New York is

138
00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:28,400
Speaker 1: a poor place, quite the contrary. New York City is

139
00:08:28,440 --> 00:08:32,440
Speaker 1: an incredible concentration of wealth, but it's about to get

140
00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:37,679
Speaker 1: a lot dirtier. And it's getting dirtier because of the

141
00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:41,040
Speaker 1: budget cuts that are being made to services. And those

142
00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:45,559
Speaker 1: budget cuts are coming in large part from the billions

143
00:08:45,559 --> 00:08:48,240
Speaker 1: and billions of dollars that New Yorkers are paying to

144
00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:53,200
Speaker 1: support the migrants. You see how this all ties in together.

145
00:08:54,800 --> 00:09:00,520
Speaker 1: Twenty twenty four, Mayor Adams has announced that sidewalk trash

146
00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:08,240
Speaker 1: collection service will be reduced by forty percent. Forty percent.

147
00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:12,640
Speaker 1: I mean this now, I understand you say, oh, it's

148
00:09:12,679 --> 00:09:15,240
Speaker 1: trash removal. People are going to be walking around. I

149
00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:18,920
Speaker 1: know New York as well as anybody, and people are

150
00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:21,719
Speaker 1: going to be walking around in Midtown, you know, not

151
00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:23,880
Speaker 1: necessarily so much on the Upper East Side, not so

152
00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:25,599
Speaker 1: much on the Upper West Side. People are gonna be

153
00:09:25,640 --> 00:09:27,280
Speaker 1: walking around in Midtown. People are going to be walking

154
00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:30,839
Speaker 1: around and in you know, other more you know, middle

155
00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:35,320
Speaker 1: class neighborhoods of the boroughs, you know, densely, densely populated,

156
00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:38,160
Speaker 1: middle class neighborhoods in the Boroughs and Queens. It's going

157
00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:40,120
Speaker 1: to be trash up to their elbows. I mean, it's

158
00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:45,040
Speaker 1: going to be a disaster. And it's wrong. It's wrong

159
00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:49,120
Speaker 1: because the people who live there should not be subjected

160
00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:52,400
Speaker 1: to this. They should have clean streets. I don't think

161
00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:55,000
Speaker 1: that clean streets are just some luxury for a society,

162
00:09:55,640 --> 00:09:57,640
Speaker 1: you know. I think that it's like you get you know,

163
00:09:57,920 --> 00:10:00,840
Speaker 1: you get indoor plumbing, you get people with with potable

164
00:10:00,920 --> 00:10:03,200
Speaker 1: drinking water from the tap, and you get clean streets.

165
00:10:03,280 --> 00:10:06,760
Speaker 1: These are really important things. And the fact that New

166
00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:10,679
Speaker 1: York City is going to become how else could you

167
00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:13,199
Speaker 1: see this forty percent trash reduction, I mean a trash

168
00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:15,840
Speaker 1: pick up reduction on the streets. It's gonna be the

169
00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:20,960
Speaker 1: dirtiest it's been in decades maybe ever. Then why because

170
00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:23,400
Speaker 1: people are coming here who are not supposed to be here,

171
00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:25,920
Speaker 1: and they're taking money from the taxpayers of the City

172
00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:29,160
Speaker 1: of New York. That is what is happening now. I'm

173
00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:31,559
Speaker 1: not even talking about there's gonna be cuts to the NYPD.

174
00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:34,320
Speaker 1: They're gonna be cuts to other city services. So you know,

175
00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:37,760
Speaker 1: now we're talking about crimes and other things. But in

176
00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:41,880
Speaker 1: the same way that graffiti in New York City in

177
00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:48,959
Speaker 1: the nineties was the most visual depiction of the urban decay,

178
00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:52,720
Speaker 1: and it was everywhere. There was I remember this nineteen

179
00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:55,480
Speaker 1: ninety nineteen ninety one, we got former MYPD listening. They

180
00:10:55,520 --> 00:10:57,040
Speaker 1: know people live in New York City know what I'm

181
00:10:57,040 --> 00:10:59,520
Speaker 1: talking about, But certainly the cops though. There was just

182
00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:05,120
Speaker 1: this raise and it was it was like a virus

183
00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:08,680
Speaker 1: head spread of scraffiti everywhere, and so wherever you went,

184
00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:10,600
Speaker 1: you were just reminded. People break the law here. People

185
00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:12,440
Speaker 1: don't take care of their neighborhoods, People don't care about

186
00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:17,360
Speaker 1: other people's property, lawlessness, lawlessness, and now in New York City,

187
00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:20,840
Speaker 1: people are going to be constantly reminded as they go

188
00:11:20,880 --> 00:11:23,200
Speaker 1: to walk their dogs, as they take their children to school,

189
00:11:23,240 --> 00:11:27,680
Speaker 1: as they just trash all over the streets, because it's

190
00:11:27,679 --> 00:11:28,679
Speaker 1: not going to get picked up. And what do you

191
00:11:28,679 --> 00:11:30,680
Speaker 1: think people are going to do? They're like, Oh, I

192
00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:33,160
Speaker 1: don't want to be littering here. You know, I'm going

193
00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:34,959
Speaker 1: to pick up after myself in Times Square. Give me

194
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:38,480
Speaker 1: a break. A lot of culture is a lot of societies, honestly,

195
00:11:38,520 --> 00:11:40,640
Speaker 1: don't really care about trash. That's a whole other conversation.

196
00:11:41,160 --> 00:11:42,880
Speaker 1: They don't view it the same way that we do

197
00:11:43,080 --> 00:11:47,959
Speaker 1: here as Americans in America. And that's that's another component

198
00:11:48,040 --> 00:11:51,439
Speaker 1: of this discussion. But you know, the most important thing

199
00:11:51,559 --> 00:11:55,280
Speaker 1: is they're cutting back on services so that New Yorkers

200
00:11:55,320 --> 00:11:57,880
Speaker 1: get to live with trash all around them, to make

201
00:11:57,960 --> 00:12:03,520
Speaker 1: accommodations for people who have made the affirmative decision to

202
00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:05,760
Speaker 1: lie to border patrol and to come to this country

203
00:12:05,800 --> 00:12:08,559
Speaker 1: in violation of our laws and skip the immigration Q

204
00:12:08,920 --> 00:12:13,520
Speaker 1: as it currently exists. And Democrats are going to continue

205
00:12:13,520 --> 00:12:18,280
Speaker 1: this all through to the election. Honestly, if anybody who

206
00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:20,360
Speaker 1: has a problem with this votes Democrat. They don't have

207
00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:23,240
Speaker 1: a problem with it. They're actually voting for it to continue.

208
00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:28,920
Speaker 1: And I think that it is really bothersome that I

209
00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:30,840
Speaker 1: know that so many people, including my own family members,

210
00:12:30,880 --> 00:12:32,480
Speaker 1: are going to be walking around on streets that are

211
00:12:32,480 --> 00:12:36,319
Speaker 1: going to be filthy. Oh, the rat population is going

212
00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:38,679
Speaker 1: to skyrocket because not only will be more trash for

213
00:12:38,720 --> 00:12:41,160
Speaker 1: them to eat, but also as part of this budget change,

214
00:12:41,240 --> 00:12:44,719
Speaker 1: they're getting rid of the rat control efforts. So now

215
00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:47,000
Speaker 1: you get to have trash everywhere. I mean, people know this.

216
00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:48,560
Speaker 1: If they don't pick up trash in New York City,

217
00:12:48,640 --> 00:12:51,280
Speaker 1: the trash bags get to be like eight feet high, okay,

218
00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:53,640
Speaker 1: and there's rats. The rats already running around. There's the

219
00:12:53,640 --> 00:12:57,440
Speaker 1: size of sea otters. You know. I got to hold

220
00:12:57,480 --> 00:12:59,160
Speaker 1: Ginger back. I'm afraid Ginger is going to be a

221
00:12:59,160 --> 00:13:04,200
Speaker 1: snack for one of them. Like it's crazy. And this

222
00:13:04,400 --> 00:13:07,599
Speaker 1: is a trade off. All these people vote Democrat in

223
00:13:07,600 --> 00:13:10,000
Speaker 1: New York City. You know, they're getting what they voted for.

224
00:13:10,040 --> 00:13:12,880
Speaker 1: Folks for the Republicans who listen to this show in

225
00:13:12,920 --> 00:13:14,280
Speaker 1: New York and the New York City are and my

226
00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:19,640
Speaker 1: own family. There's the reason Sean Hannity just moved to Florida,

227
00:13:19,679 --> 00:13:21,560
Speaker 1: and I don't know what else to say. I mean,

228
00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:24,920
Speaker 1: people see this for what it is. People see this

229
00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:28,400
Speaker 1: for what's really going on. All right now, let's switch

230
00:13:28,400 --> 00:13:30,240
Speaker 1: gears here. If you're worried about identity theft, do you

231
00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:32,600
Speaker 1: have a right to be? A year ago, the FTC

232
00:13:32,760 --> 00:13:36,160
Speaker 1: recorded over one point one million reports of identity theft

233
00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:38,480
Speaker 1: scams one point one million. The total tally for the

234
00:13:38,520 --> 00:13:40,600
Speaker 1: year that just ended is trending to be even higher

235
00:13:40,640 --> 00:13:43,640
Speaker 1: than that. You likely know the signs of online identity threats,

236
00:13:43,640 --> 00:13:46,400
Speaker 1: Emails from strangers that contain links, text messages from people

237
00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:49,360
Speaker 1: you don't know, unexplained banking or financial activity, and the

238
00:13:49,400 --> 00:13:51,599
Speaker 1: list goes on and on. I get text I just

239
00:13:51,600 --> 00:13:54,040
Speaker 1: got a text this morning. Oh you're the Amazon driver,

240
00:13:54,120 --> 00:13:56,319

241
00:13:56,320 --> 00:13:59,160
Speaker 1: my identity. That happened to me today, and it happens

242
00:13:59,200 --> 00:14:00,880
Speaker 1: to be pretty frequently and apps a lot of people

243
00:14:00,880 --> 00:14:03,080
Speaker 1: I know, they get these text messages, Oh the Ups driver,

244
00:14:03,160 --> 00:14:05,720
Speaker 1: can't find you, click here, Just give us some information.

Speaker 1: on the front lines of the truth. You know, when

260
00:14:51,440 --> 00:14:55,400
Speaker 1: I tell you about scams at the US Mexico border,

261
00:14:56,680 --> 00:15:01,800
Speaker 1: I mean scams. I mean big business that involves the

262
00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:05,520
Speaker 1: violation of our laws and the abuse of the good

263
00:15:05,520 --> 00:15:08,120
Speaker 1: will of the American people. This is happening in a

264
00:15:08,120 --> 00:15:10,720
Speaker 1: whole range of ways. I have mentioned before. I have

265
00:15:10,840 --> 00:15:14,560
Speaker 1: seen these bracelets with my own eyes down at the

266
00:15:14,560 --> 00:15:18,640
Speaker 1: border where the bracelet is worn to show to the coyotes,

267
00:15:18,680 --> 00:15:21,920
Speaker 1: the cartel traffickers, that these individuals are paid up with

268
00:15:21,960 --> 00:15:25,960
Speaker 1: the cartel. Think about that. It's like a you know,

269
00:15:26,080 --> 00:15:28,000
Speaker 1: nightclub that requires you wear a bracelet, except it's not

270
00:15:28,040 --> 00:15:32,640
Speaker 1: a nightclub. It's a cartel. I remember Border Patrol. This

271
00:15:32,680 --> 00:15:34,040
Speaker 1: is when Border Patrol used to be able to, you know,

272
00:15:34,200 --> 00:15:36,400
Speaker 1: so happy to talk to me and tell me what's

273
00:15:36,400 --> 00:15:37,960
Speaker 1: going on, the challenge of their mission. I mean, I

274
00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:40,120
Speaker 1: gotta tell you the Border Patrol ride alongs I've done.

275
00:15:40,480 --> 00:15:43,160
Speaker 1: I really like all the Border Patrol people. I've dealt with,

276
00:15:44,400 --> 00:15:46,800
Speaker 1: the public affairs people, but also just the you know,

277
00:15:46,800 --> 00:15:49,000
Speaker 1: the line agents. I mean, the guys doing the stuff

278
00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:52,120
Speaker 1: that they do. They're just really good people. And a

279
00:15:52,200 --> 00:15:54,360
Speaker 1: lot of them are former military. I think something like

280
00:15:54,360 --> 00:15:56,320
Speaker 1: twenty five or thirty percent of them are former military.

281
00:15:56,360 --> 00:15:58,280
Speaker 1: You got a ton of veterans working for Border Patrol.

282
00:15:58,640 --> 00:16:02,600
Speaker 1: I don't think they get nearly enough support and praise

283
00:16:02,680 --> 00:16:04,800
Speaker 1: the general public. What they're doing is very important, but

284
00:16:05,120 --> 00:16:06,920
Speaker 1: right now they're overwhelmed. They're not allowed to do their

285
00:16:06,960 --> 00:16:10,320
Speaker 1: real core mission. But there are scams being run. And

286
00:16:10,760 --> 00:16:13,720
Speaker 1: here is Bill Malusion of Fox, who does great reporting

287
00:16:13,720 --> 00:16:16,800
Speaker 1: on this, talking about how they're using fake passports down

288
00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:18,360
Speaker 1: there at the border too. Play four.

289
00:16:18,560 --> 00:16:21,240
Speaker 2: Take a look at this internal alert that we obtained

290
00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:23,640
Speaker 2: from our sources. This was sent out by border patrols

291
00:16:23,920 --> 00:16:27,280
Speaker 2: to Son Sector Intelligence Unit, warning agents they're seeing a

292
00:16:27,360 --> 00:16:31,680
Speaker 2: huge influx of fake, fraudulent or altered passports coming from Guinea,

293
00:16:31,760 --> 00:16:35,160
Speaker 2: specifically from adults who are changing their dates of birth

294
00:16:35,200 --> 00:16:38,280
Speaker 2: to try to masquerade as unaccompanied minors in an effort

295
00:16:38,360 --> 00:16:40,400
Speaker 2: to get into the United States. That are at Warne's

296
00:16:40,440 --> 00:16:43,200
Speaker 2: agents on what to look out Shore shows them what

297
00:16:43,280 --> 00:16:46,600
Speaker 2: real and fake passports look like, even says officials in

298
00:16:46,640 --> 00:16:49,960
Speaker 2: the Guinean government may be involved in telling them to

299
00:16:50,040 --> 00:16:53,320
Speaker 2: do this, and it also says that any passports issued

300
00:16:53,320 --> 00:16:56,680
Speaker 2: in the Guinean municipality of Kannakry after June of twenty

301
00:16:56,720 --> 00:17:03,280
Speaker 2: twenty three should be considered fake or fraudulent, fake passports

302
00:17:03,320 --> 00:17:07,120
Speaker 2: with state sponsor behind it in this case West Africa Guinea.

303
00:17:09,680 --> 00:17:13,520
Speaker 1: My friends, I remember border patrol telling me that they

304
00:17:13,600 --> 00:17:16,800
Speaker 1: had a thirty three year old. This was years ago.

305
00:17:16,880 --> 00:17:18,720
Speaker 1: I said, what was the record? They had a thirty

306
00:17:18,760 --> 00:17:21,639
Speaker 1: three year old posing as a seventeen year old to

307
00:17:21,640 --> 00:17:24,679
Speaker 1: get in as an unaccompanied minor. All but we're a

308
00:17:24,760 --> 00:17:27,359
Speaker 1: nation of immigrants. Well, are there are a lot of frauds?

309
00:17:28,280 --> 00:17:29,760
Speaker 1: Are we a nation of frauds? There are a lot

310
00:17:29,760 --> 00:17:33,240
Speaker 1: of frauds crossing the border. Document fraud is being committed,

311
00:17:33,600 --> 00:17:36,240
Speaker 1: lying to federal officers being committed. Oh but now that's

312
00:17:36,280 --> 00:17:41,320
Speaker 1: not law. Really hmm, interesting, isn't it? Eight hunder two

313
00:17:41,359 --> 00:17:42,399
Speaker 1: A two to two eight at two? What do you

314
00:17:42,400 --> 00:17:45,840
Speaker 1: think about what the situation the border is these days?

315
00:17:45,840 --> 00:17:49,480
Speaker 1: And is it going to change? Let's talk about it.

316
00:17:49,520 --> 00:17:51,440
Speaker 1: Is there a change coming to the US dollar this year?

317
00:17:51,560 --> 00:17:55,800
Speaker 1: Former Wall Street insider Tikachiwari still very much believes that

318
00:17:55,880 --> 00:17:59,280
Speaker 1: this can and will happen this year. Tika believes the

319
00:17:59,280 --> 00:18:02,360
Speaker 1: biggest risk to Americans is not the spreading warn Ukraine

320
00:18:02,800 --> 00:18:06,680
Speaker 1: instability in the Middle East, but security of the US dollar.

321
00:18:07,080 --> 00:18:09,040
Speaker 1: He's so adamant on this point that he's published a

322
00:18:09,160 --> 00:18:14,160
Speaker 1: video online with all the details, including how you might prepare. Look,

323
00:18:14,280 --> 00:18:16,560
Speaker 1: Tka wants you to just hear him out on this one,

324
00:18:16,960 --> 00:18:18,840
Speaker 1: because he's going to give you things that you can

325
00:18:18,840 --> 00:18:22,480
Speaker 1: do to prepare now before this becomes clear to everybody

326
00:18:22,480 --> 00:18:26,200
Speaker 1: and then it's too late. Go to move your cash

327
00:18:26,520 --> 00:18:30,880
Speaker 1: now dot Com. That's move your cash now dot Com

328
00:18:30,960 --> 00:18:32,840
Speaker 1: to learn the three steps you need to take to

329
00:18:32,880 --> 00:18:35,359
Speaker 1: protect and grow your wealth in the coming months and year.

330
00:18:36,119 --> 00:18:39,600
Speaker 1: Move your cash now dot com or you could end

331
00:18:39,680 --> 00:18:43,600
Speaker 1: up with dollars that are worth well, maybe nothing, paid

332
00:18:43,640 --> 00:18:45,720
Speaker 1: for by Palm Beach Research Group.

333
00:18:46,040 --> 00:18:50,560
Speaker 3: Sleeve, Travis and Buck Sexton on the front Lines of Truth.

334
00:18:50,920 --> 00:18:56,520
Speaker 1: Twelve days until the Iowa caucusses everybody that's right. You know,

335
00:18:56,560 --> 00:19:00,479
Speaker 1: there's an election year going on right now. We are

336
00:19:00,480 --> 00:19:04,160
Speaker 1: in an election year. I'm excited. Klay and I are

337
00:19:04,160 --> 00:19:07,719
Speaker 1: both very much looking forward to talking to you about

338
00:19:07,960 --> 00:19:10,120
Speaker 1: all the things that happen this year. We think it'll

339
00:19:10,160 --> 00:19:14,159
Speaker 1: be a pretty crazy year in terms of politics. A

340
00:19:14,200 --> 00:19:18,000
Speaker 1: lot of a lot of things happening that can't even

341
00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:22,600
Speaker 1: begin to foresee. Right now. You have so many things

342
00:19:22,600 --> 00:19:24,439
Speaker 1: that we've discussed that are all lining up to be

343
00:19:25,800 --> 00:19:33,879
Speaker 1: possible precursors to huge shift, major surprise. Anyway, we have

344
00:19:34,040 --> 00:19:37,760
Speaker 1: right now, twelve days until Iowa some interesting things happening.

345
00:19:37,840 --> 00:19:39,480
Speaker 1: Just wanted to update you on this and maybe we

346
00:19:39,480 --> 00:19:41,280
Speaker 1: could talk a little bout where you think it's all going.

347
00:19:42,359 --> 00:19:51,000
Speaker 1: Nicki Haley. Nicki Haley is building momentum. She has double fundraising,

348
00:19:51,880 --> 00:19:57,080
Speaker 1: she has done twenty four million dollars of fundraising in

349
00:19:57,320 --> 00:20:02,160
Speaker 1: three months. So Nikki Haley and I'm seeing some poles

350
00:20:02,200 --> 00:20:05,359
Speaker 1: that are putting her in second in Iowa. I believe

351
00:20:05,359 --> 00:20:07,720
Speaker 1: that's right. Definitely in New Hampshire. Maybe I'm confusing Iowa

352
00:20:07,800 --> 00:20:10,320
Speaker 1: new Hampshire. Maybe Ron is in scratch that. I think

353
00:20:10,400 --> 00:20:12,760
Speaker 1: Ron is always pretty much in second in Iowa. But

354
00:20:12,880 --> 00:20:15,119
Speaker 1: like poles change, who knows. But Nicky Haley definitely has

355
00:20:15,160 --> 00:20:18,680
Speaker 1: strength in New Hampshire. And so people are still going

356
00:20:18,720 --> 00:20:21,480
Speaker 1: back to this conversation, which I know we've all been

357
00:20:21,600 --> 00:20:26,400
Speaker 1: told it's not gonna happen, right, not gonna happen that

358
00:20:26,800 --> 00:20:30,879
Speaker 1: Nikki Haley is the VP for Donald Trump. That's really

359
00:20:30,880 --> 00:20:34,320
Speaker 1: what's out there. That's the conversation. A lot of people

360
00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:37,520
Speaker 1: who are close into Trump world say no, no, no, no,

361
00:20:38,280 --> 00:20:42,119
Speaker 1: But there are some others who say, well, maybe you

362
00:20:42,160 --> 00:20:44,160
Speaker 1: do know what you can expect from Trump, And I'm

363
00:20:44,160 --> 00:20:46,440
Speaker 1: just telling you right now, I don't know. I wish

364
00:20:46,440 --> 00:20:49,359
Speaker 1: I could tell you I had a read on this one.

365
00:20:49,640 --> 00:20:52,120
Speaker 1: But somebody who does have a read on it, who

366
00:20:52,119 --> 00:20:57,800
Speaker 1: has certainly shared her opinion is another vice presidential candidate,

367
00:20:59,440 --> 00:21:03,800
Speaker 1: Christine governor of South Dakota and he or she is

368
00:21:04,160 --> 00:21:08,520
Speaker 1: talking about Nicki Haley as a potential Trump VP, and

369
00:21:09,359 --> 00:21:11,000
Speaker 1: I think you should hear it play twenty.

370
00:21:11,200 --> 00:21:13,320
Speaker 4: If he picked her, I would tell him I disagreed

371
00:21:13,320 --> 00:21:15,560
Speaker 4: with him, but then I would support the ticket because

372
00:21:15,720 --> 00:21:18,320
Speaker 4: he's still the president and the president still makes the decisions.

373
00:21:18,359 --> 00:21:19,840
Speaker 4: And you know, I just I've had a lot of

374
00:21:19,840 --> 00:21:22,119
Speaker 4: disagreements with Nicki Haley over the years, and I just

375
00:21:22,160 --> 00:21:23,840
Speaker 4: don't know which Nicki Haley is going to show up

376
00:21:23,880 --> 00:21:26,960
Speaker 4: every days. She's a different person depending on whatever works

377
00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:29,439
Speaker 4: for her political agenda. So I just what I love

378
00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:31,280
Speaker 4: about President Trump and what I think the American people

379
00:21:31,280 --> 00:21:33,520
Speaker 4: love it bro President Trump is that he's just himself

380
00:21:33,600 --> 00:21:36,080
Speaker 4: and he's just genuine. He's just a normal human being

381
00:21:36,160 --> 00:21:38,520
Speaker 4: who tells the truth and gets up every day fighting

382
00:21:38,560 --> 00:21:40,800
Speaker 4: for people. He has no reason to do this job

383
00:21:40,880 --> 00:21:43,280
Speaker 4: other than the fact that he really truly does believe

384
00:21:43,280 --> 00:21:45,520
Speaker 4: in America and he wants to put the people out

385
00:21:45,520 --> 00:21:46,880
Speaker 4: there that get up every day and go to work.

386
00:21:46,880 --> 00:21:48,480
Speaker 4: He wants to put them first.

387
00:21:49,520 --> 00:21:53,080
Speaker 1: Ooh, did you catch the beginning of that? There don't

388
00:21:53,119 --> 00:21:55,880
Speaker 1: know which Nicki Haley is going to show up, does

389
00:21:55,960 --> 00:22:02,080
Speaker 1: whatever is best for her politically like that's not holding back.

390
00:22:02,119 --> 00:22:07,840
Speaker 1: So the Trump VP sweep steakes is certainly underway, and

391
00:22:07,880 --> 00:22:09,600
Speaker 1: you're gonna hear a lot of names going back and

392
00:22:09,640 --> 00:22:12,760
Speaker 1: forth on this one. By by the way, look, whether Trump

393
00:22:12,800 --> 00:22:15,360
Speaker 1: wins the primary or not, the sweep stakes is underway.

394
00:22:15,359 --> 00:22:18,040
Speaker 1: People are I always get this, Oh, but we haven't

395
00:22:18,040 --> 00:22:19,560
Speaker 1: even seen the votes in Iowa, and maybe we have

396
00:22:19,600 --> 00:22:24,520
Speaker 1: a huge surprise and Ron de Santis or you know whatever. Oh, sure, fine, fine,

397
00:22:24,560 --> 00:22:30,440
Speaker 1: I don't know it would be at this point if

398
00:22:30,480 --> 00:22:33,960
Speaker 1: Trump did not win the Republican primary, is it fair

399
00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:36,080
Speaker 1: to say it would be the biggest surprise in politics

400
00:22:36,119 --> 00:22:39,680
Speaker 1: since Trump won in twenty sixteen? I think so? Right?

401
00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:44,919
Speaker 1: Is there whether there be a bigger surprise than Trump

402
00:22:44,960 --> 00:22:47,280
Speaker 1: somehow having someone come from behind at this point to

403
00:22:47,320 --> 00:22:49,639
Speaker 1: beat him than Trump beating Hillary in twenty sixteen. I

404
00:22:49,640 --> 00:22:53,200
Speaker 1: asked that question openly. You can take it whichever direction

405
00:22:53,320 --> 00:22:57,560
Speaker 1: you like. But there's also some of the other folks

406
00:22:57,600 --> 00:23:03,400
Speaker 1: who are still in the mix. VI vike Ramaswami has

407
00:23:03,440 --> 00:23:05,840
Speaker 1: stopped his campaign, has stopped spending money in a number

408
00:23:05,840 --> 00:23:07,880
Speaker 1: of states because he's not going to be president, which

409
00:23:07,880 --> 00:23:10,239
Speaker 1: I've told you all along. It's very clear you know,

410
00:23:10,359 --> 00:23:14,119
Speaker 1: but he's been an interesting voice in the discussion. He

411
00:23:14,200 --> 00:23:19,480
Speaker 1: has been a kind of an adjunct of the Trump campaign.

412
00:23:20,280 --> 00:23:23,280
Speaker 1: So Trump had a voice in a sense in the debates,

413
00:23:23,320 --> 00:23:25,439
Speaker 1: even though Trump didn't show up at the debates, and

414
00:23:25,480 --> 00:23:28,760
Speaker 1: so Vivike filled that role. But he's you know, he's

415
00:23:28,760 --> 00:23:30,520
Speaker 1: pulling at like one percent in a bunch of plays.

416
00:23:30,560 --> 00:23:31,840
Speaker 1: This is not going to happen. He's not going to

417
00:23:31,840 --> 00:23:35,840
Speaker 1: be president. I mean, you know, there you could say

418
00:23:35,840 --> 00:23:37,800
Speaker 1: that somebody at this point would have as much of

419
00:23:37,800 --> 00:23:39,320
Speaker 1: a shot of being president if they were a right

420
00:23:39,400 --> 00:23:42,399
Speaker 1: in candidate. He's not going to be president. It's interesting

421
00:23:42,440 --> 00:23:45,159
Speaker 1: that DeSantis, I think, has has lost some patience with

422
00:23:45,240 --> 00:23:49,919
Speaker 1: the Ramaswami approach to things because Viveke, as you know,

423
00:23:50,520 --> 00:23:51,960
Speaker 1: I don't know if we talked about this in the show.

424
00:23:51,960 --> 00:23:56,439
Speaker 1: Actually that after Trump had the state Supreme Court in

425
00:23:56,520 --> 00:24:01,840
Speaker 1: Colorado remove him from the ballot, and now it's going

426
00:24:01,960 --> 00:24:04,000
Speaker 1: the higher level courts. Reports got the way. We'll talk

427
00:24:04,040 --> 00:24:06,200
Speaker 1: about the ballot access thing third hour, by the way,

428
00:24:06,200 --> 00:24:08,320
Speaker 1: so stick around for that, or ballot access isn't the

429
00:24:08,359 --> 00:24:10,800
Speaker 1: right term, really, is it. I mean, just being on

430
00:24:10,840 --> 00:24:15,920
Speaker 1: the ballot. We'll talk about that. But in the meantime,

431
00:24:17,880 --> 00:24:23,240
Speaker 1: Viveke wanted other candidates to also withdraw or else you

432
00:24:23,320 --> 00:24:26,159
Speaker 1: said they are complicit. So Trump is off the ballot

433
00:24:26,200 --> 00:24:29,439
Speaker 1: because of insurrection. But then Devike says, well, everyone now

434
00:24:29,480 --> 00:24:34,960
Speaker 1: should remove themselves from the ballot. This is like logistically annoying,

435
00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:36,560
Speaker 1: and if I were running a campaign, it'd be like,

436
00:24:36,560 --> 00:24:39,320
Speaker 1: why it's not my problem, but Vivike says it is.

437
00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:44,520
Speaker 1: Ron DeSantis responded in this way to Viveke on it

438
00:24:44,600 --> 00:24:46,240
Speaker 1: played nineteen just absurd.

439
00:24:46,280 --> 00:24:49,400
Speaker 5: I mean, I have a responsibility to accumulate delegates. I'm

440
00:24:49,400 --> 00:24:52,119
Speaker 5: not going to unilaterally see any I'm gonna win as

441
00:24:52,160 --> 00:24:54,520
Speaker 5: many as I can. And I've been very clear about

442
00:24:54,600 --> 00:24:57,520
Speaker 5: both of those decisions in those states. It's not consistent

443
00:24:57,560 --> 00:24:59,760
Speaker 5: with the Constitution. I do expect them to get re

444
00:25:00,359 --> 00:25:02,639
Speaker 5: I've raised the question about Biden. I mean, if he

445
00:25:02,720 --> 00:25:06,119
Speaker 5: has greenlit eight million illegals invading this country, is he

446
00:25:06,240 --> 00:25:08,400
Speaker 5: eligible to be on So we can play this game

447
00:25:08,440 --> 00:25:10,280
Speaker 5: all along. I think it's not gonna end up well

448
00:25:10,320 --> 00:25:12,800
Speaker 5: for our country. But I do know this that if

449
00:25:12,840 --> 00:25:15,200
Speaker 5: any of the other ones of us had gotten kicked

450
00:25:15,240 --> 00:25:17,880
Speaker 5: off the ballot, Trump would be spiking the football. Let's

451
00:25:17,920 --> 00:25:20,000
Speaker 5: just be clear that that is just the fact of

452
00:25:20,040 --> 00:25:20,440
Speaker 5: the matter.

453
00:25:22,800 --> 00:25:25,359
Speaker 1: So there you have it. He's not pulling himself off

454
00:25:25,960 --> 00:25:29,440
Speaker 1: the ballot in Colorado. He clearly the the DeSantis campaign,

455
00:25:29,520 --> 00:25:34,440
Speaker 1: and this has been known for months is hoping for

456
00:25:34,560 --> 00:25:39,480
Speaker 1: a surprise win in Iowa that will change perception about this.

457
00:25:40,480 --> 00:25:44,600
Speaker 1: You have as much ability to predict the future on

458
00:25:44,680 --> 00:25:47,920
Speaker 1: this as I do. The polls all tell us very

459
00:25:47,920 --> 00:25:49,840
Speaker 1: clearly that's not even gonna be closed. Maybe the poles

460
00:25:49,840 --> 00:25:53,239
Speaker 1: are wrong. Okay, So that's something that's going on. You

461
00:25:53,280 --> 00:25:58,080
Speaker 1: also have a series of debates and things like that

462
00:25:58,080 --> 00:25:59,640
Speaker 1: that are going to be coming up here. You've got

463
00:26:00,280 --> 00:26:04,760
Speaker 1: Fox News and Trump are going to be counter programming

464
00:26:05,760 --> 00:26:09,080
Speaker 1: the CNN Iowa debate next week. So CNN is going

465
00:26:09,119 --> 00:26:15,240
Speaker 1: to have an Iowa debate before the caucuses for Nicky

466
00:26:15,320 --> 00:26:20,040
Speaker 1: Haley and uh Ron DeSantis. And guys, is there is

467
00:26:20,520 --> 00:26:22,800
Speaker 1: veake in that one or no? I've actually I've actually

468
00:26:22,840 --> 00:26:25,480
Speaker 1: need to check this. I don't think so. I think

469
00:26:25,480 --> 00:26:30,080
Speaker 1: it's just is it just Nicki Haley and Ron Yeah, okay,

470
00:26:30,119 --> 00:26:33,920
Speaker 1: that's what I thought. Just Nikki Haley and Ron. So

471
00:26:34,359 --> 00:26:39,600
Speaker 1: Trump is going to be doing on Fox a town

472
00:26:39,760 --> 00:26:43,159
Speaker 1: hall in Des Moines, Iowa. So CNN is going to

473
00:26:43,200 --> 00:26:47,119
Speaker 1: have Nicky Haley and Ron DeSantis debating. I'm going to

474
00:26:47,160 --> 00:26:48,480
Speaker 1: tell you this right now, I think it's going to

475
00:26:48,560 --> 00:26:51,359
Speaker 1: be boring. I think you need Theveke up there to

476
00:26:51,359 --> 00:26:54,480
Speaker 1: make it interesting, because you need Viveke and Nicki Haley

477
00:26:54,520 --> 00:26:58,200
Speaker 1: to just, you know, get after it. I don't know.

478
00:26:58,280 --> 00:27:01,840
Speaker 1: I mean Ron and Nicky They're gonna take shots at

479
00:27:01,840 --> 00:27:05,080
Speaker 1: each other's records, but there's a there's a baseline level

480
00:27:05,080 --> 00:27:09,240
Speaker 1: of respect there. Viveke and Nikki Haley. They don't like

481
00:27:09,280 --> 00:27:11,600
Speaker 1: each other, and that's that's definitely come across. So that

482
00:27:11,640 --> 00:27:14,000
Speaker 1: just makes for me, I'm just saying from a viewer perspective,

483
00:27:15,280 --> 00:27:17,360
Speaker 1: it's not gonna be as interesting without Viveke up there

484
00:27:17,359 --> 00:27:19,199
Speaker 1: on the stage. So I do wish that he was

485
00:27:19,240 --> 00:27:21,159
Speaker 1: on the stage because it just would make for a

486
00:27:21,200 --> 00:27:25,040
Speaker 1: better exchange of ideas and certainly better sound bites for

487
00:27:25,119 --> 00:27:28,560
Speaker 1: this show. Vivec is an incredible SoundBite machine. I will

488
00:27:28,600 --> 00:27:35,240
Speaker 1: say he is his dexterity maybe agility better word than

489
00:27:35,280 --> 00:27:39,000
Speaker 1: next dextirity. His his agility on his feet on a

490
00:27:39,080 --> 00:27:42,560
Speaker 1: range of issues and dealing with the hostile media is

491
00:27:43,240 --> 00:27:45,880
Speaker 1: uh is phenomenal, and to give him credit for one.

492
00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:50,679
Speaker 1: Here they came after him with the why won't you

493
00:27:50,720 --> 00:27:54,119
Speaker 1: condemn white supremacy thing? Because this is the game. This

494
00:27:54,200 --> 00:27:57,560
Speaker 1: is the ultimate, or, I should say, the common version

495
00:27:57,600 --> 00:28:00,280
Speaker 1: of when did you stop beating your wife? And then

496
00:28:00,280 --> 00:28:02,960
Speaker 1: you say, well, I never, I never beat my wife,

497
00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:06,600
Speaker 1: and they take that questions about whether so and so

498
00:28:06,800 --> 00:28:09,240
Speaker 1: is a wife beater. He had to answer them this way, right,

499
00:28:09,800 --> 00:28:15,919
Speaker 1: This is it's pure propaganda, it's slime. It's gross. You

500
00:28:16,119 --> 00:28:17,719
Speaker 1: know it. I know we all know it. But they

501
00:28:17,760 --> 00:28:18,280
Speaker 1: still do this.

502
00:28:18,880 --> 00:28:19,000
Speaker 2: Right.

503
00:28:19,040 --> 00:28:20,919
Speaker 1: They did the same thing to Trump back in twenty sixteen.

504
00:28:20,960 --> 00:28:24,480
Speaker 1: Will you disavow David Duke? I remember this, David Duke,

505
00:28:25,040 --> 00:28:26,960
Speaker 1: I swear to you. When they asked this question, I

506
00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:30,359
Speaker 1: was like, is that guy even alive still? But I

507
00:28:30,359 --> 00:28:32,200
Speaker 1: didn't even know. I hadn't heard about him in years?

508
00:28:33,280 --> 00:28:34,240
Speaker 3: Was the last time you heard of it?

509
00:28:34,400 --> 00:28:37,359
Speaker 1: David Duke? I mean, if you walked up to somebody

510
00:28:37,440 --> 00:28:41,000
Speaker 1: you said, you know, excuse me, sir, do you disavow

511
00:28:41,720 --> 00:28:45,160
Speaker 1: Adolf Hitler? It's like, well, yeah, I mean, of course,

512
00:28:45,240 --> 00:28:47,280
Speaker 1: why you ask him that question? This is what the

513
00:28:47,320 --> 00:28:50,520
Speaker 1: media does. This is what they do. This is what

514
00:28:51,400 --> 00:28:54,600
Speaker 1: they do. And Vivek wasn't having it, and he did

515
00:28:54,600 --> 00:28:58,080
Speaker 1: a great job. I gave him. The guy's skills are

516
00:28:58,080 --> 00:29:02,320
Speaker 1: beyond question. His skills are beyond question. And here is

517
00:29:02,600 --> 00:29:06,600
Speaker 1: a snippet of those skills on display. This is him

518
00:29:06,600 --> 00:29:09,560
Speaker 1: dealing with the why don't you condemn white supremacy question?

519
00:29:09,640 --> 00:29:11,560
Speaker 1: From I think washing post play it.

520
00:29:11,680 --> 00:29:13,920
Speaker 6: I'm not going to recite some catechism for you. I'm

521
00:29:13,920 --> 00:29:16,720
Speaker 6: against vicious racial discrimination in this country, so I'm not

522
00:29:16,760 --> 00:29:20,120
Speaker 6: pledging allegiance to your new religion of modern Wocism, which

523
00:29:20,120 --> 00:29:22,560
Speaker 6: absolutely fits the test. I'm not going to bend the

524
00:29:22,560 --> 00:29:23,240
Speaker 6: needy of religion.

525
00:29:23,280 --> 00:29:23,640
Speaker 3: I'm sorry.

526
00:29:23,680 --> 00:29:25,000
Speaker 6: I'm not asking you to bend the need of mine

527
00:29:25,160 --> 00:29:26,600
Speaker 6: and I'm not going to bend the need of yours.

528
00:29:26,760 --> 00:29:29,040
Speaker 6: But do I condemn vicious racial discrimination?

529
00:29:29,360 --> 00:29:29,960
Speaker 1: Yes? I do.

530
00:29:30,120 --> 00:29:32,080
Speaker 6: Am I going to play your silly game of gotcha?

531
00:29:32,280 --> 00:29:32,400
Speaker 3: No?

532
00:29:32,440 --> 00:29:35,000
Speaker 6: I'm not. And frankly, this is why people have lost trust.

533
00:29:35,040 --> 00:29:36,560
Speaker 6: And I know you're gonna go print the headline tomorrow.

534
00:29:36,560 --> 00:29:38,040
Speaker 6: I already know this, We already know how your game works.

535
00:29:38,120 --> 00:29:40,640
Speaker 6: Vive Cromoslaman refuses to condemn white supremacy because you asked

536
00:29:40,680 --> 00:29:44,400
Speaker 6: a stupid question. The reality is I condemned vicious racial

537
00:29:44,400 --> 00:29:46,680
Speaker 6: discrimination in this country. But the kind of vicious and

538
00:29:46,680 --> 00:29:50,480
Speaker 6: systematic racial discrimination we see today is discrimination on the

539
00:29:50,480 --> 00:29:52,560
Speaker 6: basis of race in a very different direction. If you

540
00:29:52,560 --> 00:29:54,120
Speaker 6: want to know what the best way is to end

541
00:29:54,160 --> 00:29:57,600
Speaker 6: discrimination on the basis of race, stop discriminating on the

542
00:29:57,640 --> 00:29:59,760
Speaker 6: basis of race. Do that, and we're going to move

543
00:29:59,800 --> 00:30:02,040
Speaker 6: this country forward. And I don't care whether you're black

544
00:30:02,120 --> 00:30:04,280
Speaker 6: or white, or brown or anything in between.

545
00:30:04,720 --> 00:30:06,400
Speaker 1: That's how we're going to unite this country.

546
00:30:06,640 --> 00:30:09,240
Speaker 6: You people have been responsible for dividing this country to

547
00:30:09,280 --> 00:30:10,440
Speaker 6: a breaking point.

548
00:30:11,320 --> 00:30:14,560
Speaker 1: A plus answer from a vag and I think he

549
00:30:14,640 --> 00:30:19,560
Speaker 1: will be a very effective cabinet member of the Trump administration.

550
00:30:19,640 --> 00:30:21,880
Speaker 1: Part two. All right, Look, we don't think about the

551
00:30:21,920 --> 00:30:24,680
Speaker 1: towels in our home very often. I'm not saying we

552
00:30:24,720 --> 00:30:26,440
Speaker 1: take them from granted, but you know, we kind of

553
00:30:26,480 --> 00:30:29,240
Speaker 1: do until we notice they're not really feeling so good

554
00:30:29,320 --> 00:30:31,840
Speaker 1: and not absorbing so Well, your towels get old, they

555
00:30:31,840 --> 00:30:34,680
Speaker 1: get warned, they don't have a forever shelf life, so

556
00:30:35,600 --> 00:30:37,400
Speaker 1: you got to get new ones. Right. Well, this is

557
00:30:37,440 --> 00:30:39,560

Speaker 1: I shower a couple times a day. Maybe that's too much,

564
00:30:56,400 --> 00:30:59,920
Speaker 1: but point is, I love having nice, soft, absorbent towels.

589
00:32:05,000 --> 00:32:06,640
Speaker 1: try to keep Trump off the ballot. I don't think

590
00:32:06,640 --> 00:32:08,640

592

Speaker 1: we have Mike in New Brunswick, Canada. Who is up?

593
00:32:17,440 --> 00:32:18,040
Speaker 1: What's up? Mike?

594
00:32:19,040 --> 00:32:20,160
Speaker 3: Hey, how are you today?

595
00:32:20,560 --> 00:32:22,400
Speaker 1: I'm good, sir. Thank you for listening up north.

596
00:32:23,440 --> 00:32:25,520
Speaker 3: Oh great, I listened pretty much every day.

597
00:32:25,880 --> 00:32:28,480
Speaker 1: Happy New Year, by the way, Happy New Year you, sir.

598
00:32:30,160 --> 00:32:32,080
Speaker 3: The reason I'm calling is I did want to talk

599
00:32:32,120 --> 00:32:35,360
Speaker 3: about the southern border. I'm a transplant of Texans. I've

600
00:32:35,400 --> 00:32:39,120
Speaker 3: been in Canada for quite some time now and believe me,

601
00:32:39,160 --> 00:32:40,800
Speaker 3: it's not that we don't have our own trouble with

602
00:32:40,800 --> 00:32:43,040
Speaker 3: our own dictator up here. I'm sure you know who

603
00:32:43,040 --> 00:32:43,360
Speaker 3: he is.

604
00:32:44,360 --> 00:32:46,520
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, he's one of my least favorite world leaders.

605
00:32:46,520 --> 00:32:48,400
Speaker 1: I mean, if I had to have lunch with Trudeau

606
00:32:48,560 --> 00:32:50,600
Speaker 1: or Kim Jong Ohen, I don't know, it's a close call.

607
00:32:51,520 --> 00:32:53,280
Speaker 3: It really is a close call. I don't know. I

608
00:32:53,320 --> 00:32:56,600
Speaker 3: think they have a competition with Biden and Trudeau to

609
00:32:56,640 --> 00:33:00,760
Speaker 3: see who can bring the country down the quickest. But anyhow,

610
00:33:01,480 --> 00:33:05,600
Speaker 3: all that aside regarding the border, I crossed the border

611
00:33:05,680 --> 00:33:09,560
Speaker 3: here in Maine to Canada two times a week for work.

612
00:33:09,920 --> 00:33:12,920
Speaker 3: It's a strange situation. I work on a place called

613
00:33:13,000 --> 00:33:15,880
Speaker 3: Campabello Island and you have to go through the state

614
00:33:15,960 --> 00:33:21,520
Speaker 3: of Maine to get to Canada. Whatever. Anyway, the Roosevelt anyway.

615
00:33:21,640 --> 00:33:23,600
Speaker 3: The reason I wanted to I wanted to talk to

616
00:33:23,680 --> 00:33:26,800
Speaker 3: you really quickly, was because I talked to some border

617
00:33:26,840 --> 00:33:31,040
Speaker 3: agents that I see quite regular and of course they

618
00:33:31,080 --> 00:33:34,000
Speaker 3: get transfers in every now and then, and I've talked

619
00:33:34,000 --> 00:33:35,920
Speaker 3: to probably about four or five of them that have

620
00:33:36,000 --> 00:33:38,320
Speaker 3: been transferred in from the southern border down.

621
00:33:38,080 --> 00:33:40,880
Speaker 1: There to the north. Wait. So they're transferred from the

622
00:33:40,920 --> 00:33:42,479
Speaker 1: southern border to the northern border.

623
00:33:43,360 --> 00:33:47,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, from like uh, I think Woman's down Eagle Pass.

624
00:33:47,640 --> 00:33:49,360
Speaker 3: I know there was another one from Yuma.

625
00:33:50,480 --> 00:33:50,640
Speaker 1: Uh.

626
00:33:50,760 --> 00:33:53,400
Speaker 3: There was a two out of Texas and three out

627
00:33:53,400 --> 00:33:55,400
Speaker 3: of Arizona, or might have that backwards.

628
00:33:55,400 --> 00:33:57,040
Speaker 1: But it's one of the men. Man, if I were

629
00:33:57,080 --> 00:33:59,480
Speaker 1: on border patrol, it sounds like that's getting that's getting

630
00:33:59,520 --> 00:34:03,360
Speaker 1: transferred from a rundown motel to a four star resort

631
00:34:03,440 --> 00:34:06,920
Speaker 1: or something. North border sounds like an easy duty by comparison.

632
00:34:06,960 --> 00:34:10,359
Speaker 3: Anyway, it really really is, because I mean, of course,

633
00:34:10,400 --> 00:34:12,239
Speaker 3: I asked them, because you know, the cold weather up

634
00:34:12,239 --> 00:34:15,120
Speaker 3: here is not exactly you know, pleasant winters.

635
00:34:14,800 --> 00:34:15,880
Speaker 1: Right, that's true.

636
00:34:15,960 --> 00:34:19,080
Speaker 3: But I asked him just out of curiosity. I said, look,

637
00:34:19,120 --> 00:34:22,560
Speaker 3: I haven't been home Texas for like ten years, and

638
00:34:22,640 --> 00:34:24,839
Speaker 3: I haven't been on the border down there for god

639
00:34:25,040 --> 00:34:28,239
Speaker 3: twenty twenty five years. And I mean it used to be,

640
00:34:28,920 --> 00:34:31,759
Speaker 3: you know, pretty well controlled, and I lived in you man,

641
00:34:31,840 --> 00:34:37,040
Speaker 3: I lived down in South Texas both. But anyway, ask him, like,

642
00:34:37,800 --> 00:34:39,239
Speaker 3: how do you like it up here? Kind of just

643
00:34:39,320 --> 00:34:42,160
Speaker 3: making small talk, I said, so tell me up front,

644
00:34:42,200 --> 00:34:43,960
Speaker 3: tell me honest, what's it like down there on the

645
00:34:44,000 --> 00:34:46,680
Speaker 3: southern border. And they just looked at me. I took

646
00:34:46,719 --> 00:34:51,080
Speaker 3: a couple of eye rolls, and it's like a war zone.

647
00:34:51,640 --> 00:34:53,719
Speaker 3: So you must like it up here. Oh yeah, they're

648
00:34:53,800 --> 00:34:55,280
Speaker 3: very happy to be up here in the cold.

649
00:34:55,920 --> 00:34:58,759
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, thank you, thank you for calling in, Mike.

650
00:34:59,719 --> 00:35:03,520
Speaker 1: Look the situation. The numbers make it very clear. There's

651
00:35:03,560 --> 00:35:05,200
Speaker 1: no debating it. I mean, the border is the worst

652
00:35:05,200 --> 00:35:08,799
Speaker 1: that it has ever been, and we are paying for it.

653
00:35:08,800 --> 00:35:11,720
Speaker 1: We are literally paying for this with your tax dollars.

654
00:35:12,880 --> 00:35:18,000
Speaker 1: You're paying for the ineffective measures and the inability of

655
00:35:18,000 --> 00:35:21,600
Speaker 1: personnel down there to do their jobs. You're paying for

656
00:35:21,960 --> 00:35:26,120
Speaker 1: the services that are being accessed, and in some cases,

657
00:35:26,160 --> 00:35:29,000
Speaker 1: you know, four star hotels that the migrants are being

658
00:35:29,040 --> 00:35:33,360
Speaker 1: put up in. So it's a bet. It's a mess.

659
00:35:33,800 --> 00:35:36,960
Speaker 1: And we are at this point where you'll notice you

660
00:35:36,960 --> 00:35:40,120
Speaker 1: don't really hear a word very often from Biden in

661
00:35:40,200 --> 00:35:43,440
Speaker 1: the media, even really from Republicans, although Trump is talking

662
00:35:43,440 --> 00:35:48,360
Speaker 1: about it more deportations, sending people back to the countries

663
00:35:48,400 --> 00:35:52,200
Speaker 1: that they have a passport from or where they are

664
00:35:52,320 --> 00:35:57,280
Speaker 1: nationals of, and not allowing this to continue and doing

665
00:35:57,320 --> 00:36:02,520
Speaker 1: this on a massive scale. If it's not that we

666
00:36:02,600 --> 00:36:07,960
Speaker 1: are on a downslope toward eventual amnesty and the transformation

667
00:36:08,200 --> 00:36:11,080
Speaker 1: of the American electorate with it. We all know it.

668
00:36:12,000 --> 00:36:18,600
Speaker 1: So which candidates right now are talking about deportation? Trump, DeSantis,

669
00:36:19,239 --> 00:36:21,399
Speaker 1: I'd be very curious to know what Nikki Haley thinks

670
00:36:21,440 --> 00:36:23,200
Speaker 1: on the issue. I wonder if she'll get asked that

671
00:36:23,280 --> 00:36:27,640
Speaker 1: next week. But that word deportation, it's got to get

672
00:36:27,640 --> 00:36:29,959
Speaker 1: a whole lot more attention because everything else that people

673
00:36:30,000 --> 00:36:32,640
Speaker 1: are talking about, at best, is a band aid for

674
00:36:32,680 --> 00:36:35,880
Speaker 1: the situation, and in most cases might even make it worse.

675
00:36:36,640 --> 00:36:39,800
Speaker 1: Talk more about this, and also where does it stand

676
00:36:39,840 --> 00:36:42,920
Speaker 1: with their efforts to kick Trump off the ballot in Colorado,

677
00:36:42,960 --> 00:36:45,359
Speaker 1: in Maine and more. That's coming up in a big

678
00:36:45,480 --> 00:36:46,040
Speaker 1: third hour
