1 00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:03,320 Speaker 1: Welcome everybody. Tuesday edition off the Clay Travis and Buck 2 00:00:03,440 --> 00:00:07,600 Speaker 1: Sexton Show kicks off right now thanks to the guy 3 00:00:07,600 --> 00:00:08,959 Speaker 1: who high five to me on the way out of 4 00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:11,360 Speaker 1: the gym today. Clay says he listens every day, loves 5 00:00:11,400 --> 00:00:13,280 Speaker 1: the show. I wish I could have stayed longer, but 6 00:00:13,320 --> 00:00:15,720 Speaker 1: I was like, I gotta go do the show. So 7 00:00:15,760 --> 00:00:18,759 Speaker 1: it was a close one had to run home, but 8 00:00:18,840 --> 00:00:22,599 Speaker 1: I got here and we have a lot to get 9 00:00:22,600 --> 00:00:27,400 Speaker 1: into today. President Trump announcing eighty thousand documents on the 10 00:00:27,440 --> 00:00:30,920 Speaker 1: assassination of JFT will be released, and he has asked 11 00:00:30,920 --> 00:00:36,319 Speaker 1: that the files not be redacted. I can't imagine how 12 00:00:36,360 --> 00:00:39,000 Speaker 1: there would be any justification to continue a redaction at 13 00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:43,040 Speaker 1: this point, but we shall see what is released. Eighty 14 00:00:43,120 --> 00:00:46,760 Speaker 1: remember eighty thousand pages. So anybody who within minutes of 15 00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:50,080 Speaker 1: this thing of the document drop says I know who 16 00:00:50,200 --> 00:00:53,480 Speaker 1: killed JFK. Just grain of salt, like, let's see what's 17 00:00:53,479 --> 00:00:56,040 Speaker 1: actually in this thing. I know. I'm not going to 18 00:00:56,120 --> 00:00:59,680 Speaker 1: take out my wampwomp button quite yet on it. We'll see, 19 00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:02,400 Speaker 1: but I am in wait and see mode for sure. 20 00:01:03,040 --> 00:01:07,080 Speaker 1: President Trump has announced that Hunter and Ashley Biden will 21 00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:11,880 Speaker 1: no longer have Secret Service protection. They had Clay eighteen 22 00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:16,479 Speaker 1: and thirteen agents. Assignments are crazy, respectively. Hunter Biden had 23 00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:21,520 Speaker 1: eighteen Secret Service agents. Eighteen Secret Service agents. Like this 24 00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:27,280 Speaker 1: is outrageous, outrageous. I mean this, you know, if you're 25 00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:29,720 Speaker 1: the president. The way they usually do this is they 26 00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:33,000 Speaker 1: start to fade it out. I mean presidents, I guess 27 00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:35,800 Speaker 1: former presidents. I think once you get past two terms, 28 00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:38,480 Speaker 1: you really don't need a Secret Service detail anymore. I'm 29 00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:40,240 Speaker 1: a little bit of a maybe a radical on this 30 00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:42,720 Speaker 1: whole thing. I think people just need to like get 31 00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:44,600 Speaker 1: a grip. It's okay. You know, no one cares that 32 00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:47,360 Speaker 1: you were president three presidents ago that much. You know, 33 00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:50,240 Speaker 1: like don't don't go to Moscow on vacation and you'll 34 00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:54,080 Speaker 1: be fine. So anyway I find this, I think we've 35 00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:58,000 Speaker 1: gotten way too much of a praetorian rialse. It was 36 00:01:58,160 --> 00:02:03,120 Speaker 1: eighteen That is crazy. I mean that that is this 37 00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:06,280 Speaker 1: guy was traveling with a platoon of Secret Service agents 38 00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:09,880 Speaker 1: in case what I mean, think about and think about 39 00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:12,160 Speaker 1: what they probably saw too. Don't even get me started. 40 00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:15,480 Speaker 2: Also, to your point, it's not I mean he lived 41 00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:18,320 Speaker 2: in Malibu. I mean, do we think that he was 42 00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:21,960 Speaker 2: in perpetual danger from all of the super libs in Malibu, 43 00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:22,880 Speaker 2: like that they were going to. 44 00:02:22,919 --> 00:02:25,360 Speaker 1: Do something to him. No, this is this is just 45 00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:26,920 Speaker 1: so that you can have a you can have a 46 00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:33,600 Speaker 1: taxpayer funded chauffeur and and security. And you know, I 47 00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:35,240 Speaker 1: want to know what all these guys are doing all 48 00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:38,440 Speaker 1: the time. It's the whole thing is completely outrageous. And 49 00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:40,720 Speaker 1: and this this thing, you know, we allow presidents to 50 00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:45,200 Speaker 1: determine really what the presidents get, and these guys have 51 00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:48,480 Speaker 1: way too much. It's it's it's crazy. The former presidents, 52 00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:51,079 Speaker 1: some of them have just I think, like Nixon said, 53 00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:52,560 Speaker 1: I don't even really I want to get my own 54 00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:54,880 Speaker 1: you know. 55 00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:57,320 Speaker 2: I wouldn't want I mean, I doesn't feel to me 56 00:02:58,040 --> 00:03:00,160 Speaker 2: like it would be very much fun to have have 57 00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:03,400 Speaker 2: security with you. I mean, we've had to have security 58 00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:06,320 Speaker 2: for some events. Obviously, when somebody wanted to kill me, 59 00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:09,280 Speaker 2: we had security. So we have security off and on. 60 00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:15,160 Speaker 2: I'm not knocking the idea, but it isn't A eighteen 61 00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:18,640 Speaker 2: agents is for someone who has ever had security is 62 00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:23,480 Speaker 2: a absolutely insane number. And I remember, if I recall, 63 00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:26,480 Speaker 2: maybe we'll talk to Miranda Devine about this tomorrow, because 64 00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:28,800 Speaker 2: she really kind of broke this story on the New 65 00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:32,800 Speaker 2: York Post. But Buck, it also was the case that 66 00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:36,720 Speaker 2: I believe that Secret Service was renting a high end 67 00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:40,440 Speaker 2: mansion next door to him to use as the base 68 00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:43,240 Speaker 2: to be able to protect Hunter when he was living 69 00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:45,280 Speaker 2: in the Sugar Daddy's house in Malibu. 70 00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:49,120 Speaker 1: Yeah, the whole thing is outrageous. Man, This is completely unjustifiable, 71 00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:53,200 Speaker 1: and I think that it's the right move. Look, presidents, 72 00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:56,280 Speaker 1: you know, they need to be protected, especially this president, 73 00:03:56,560 --> 00:03:59,640 Speaker 1: need to be protected with whatever is required. But you know, 74 00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:02,240 Speaker 1: if you were just the most recent president, Okay, but 75 00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:05,480 Speaker 1: your family, Ashley Biden, give me, give me a break, 76 00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:07,400 Speaker 1: all right. You know you got to live with a 77 00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:11,040 Speaker 1: certain degree of just life is uncertain. I'm sorry, Like, 78 00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:14,120 Speaker 1: you can't go around twenty Secret Service agents the rest 79 00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:17,359 Speaker 1: of my life, please, all right. So anyway, that's something 80 00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:19,840 Speaker 1: we can talk a little more about. Cease fire between 81 00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:24,440 Speaker 1: Israel and hamas is over Israeli jets have been striking Gaza, 82 00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:26,400 Speaker 1: and the Israelis are just saying they're not waiting for 83 00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:30,600 Speaker 1: they're not waiting for hostages anymore. Enough is enough that 84 00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:34,480 Speaker 1: judge who ordered the planes to turn around with the trend. 85 00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:38,640 Speaker 1: De Aragua members on it is really digging in and 86 00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:42,240 Speaker 1: getting crazier and crazier, which which we will make some 87 00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:46,880 Speaker 1: sense of today. And yes, oh and then we have 88 00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:48,520 Speaker 1: what's going on right now? Why don't we jump into 89 00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:50,919 Speaker 1: this one because I think it ties into everything. Trump 90 00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:53,159 Speaker 1: has been on the phone this morning with Vladimir Putin, 91 00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:58,719 Speaker 1: and remember Klay last week, the conversation was, Oh, it's 92 00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:02,159 Speaker 1: too early, and there's so so many conditions, and really 93 00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:06,159 Speaker 1: downplaying that Trump was even likely or is even possible 94 00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:09,240 Speaker 1: he could get any kind of a breakthrough if this results, 95 00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:11,400 Speaker 1: If this call results in a ceasefire, and we should 96 00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:14,000 Speaker 1: know pretty imminently. I think if at least a ceasefire 97 00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:18,000 Speaker 1: has been preliminarily agreed to, does the media cover it 98 00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:20,160 Speaker 1: as a breakthrough or do they cover it as well? 99 00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:21,080 Speaker 1: We won't really know. 100 00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:29,919 Speaker 2: Yeah, Look, the ceasefire in general is now ended in 101 00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:34,599 Speaker 2: the Middle East, right, so ceasefires are not perpetual, never 102 00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:41,080 Speaker 2: ending ceasefire realities. But I do feel like if they 103 00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:45,440 Speaker 2: start the ceasefire in Ukraine with Russia, tell me if 104 00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:50,039 Speaker 2: you agree with this, at least during Trump's remaining term 105 00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:55,320 Speaker 2: in office, Vladimir Putin will not invade Ukraine anymore. Do 106 00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:57,760 Speaker 2: you feel good about that, like if you had to 107 00:05:57,800 --> 00:05:59,960 Speaker 2: predict based on what we saw in the first turn 108 00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:04,640 Speaker 2: when he didn't invade, and whatever you feel about this, 109 00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:08,880 Speaker 2: I do believe that Trump and Putin have a somewhat 110 00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:14,320 Speaker 2: decent relationship that actually is brought together by the total 111 00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:18,520 Speaker 2: why that Russia won Trump the twenty sixteen election. Trump 112 00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:22,120 Speaker 2: knows that's not true, Putin knows that's not true. We 113 00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:26,479 Speaker 2: and by the way, the United States, I'm curious if 114 00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:29,599 Speaker 2: you would agree with this, Buck probably spends more money 115 00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:33,719 Speaker 2: trying to influence foreign elections than any country in the world. 116 00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:37,400 Speaker 2: So the idea that we're gonna be like grabbing our 117 00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:40,440 Speaker 2: pearls and falling on to a fainting couch that other 118 00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:45,320 Speaker 2: countries would in some way seek favor in our own 119 00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:50,120 Speaker 2: elections when we are, I believe, probably the biggest manipulator 120 00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:54,839 Speaker 2: of international elections of any country in the world. But 121 00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:58,600 Speaker 2: they didn't have any massive impact. The whole Russia collusion 122 00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:02,760 Speaker 2: story was a lie. The money that Russia spent on 123 00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:06,279 Speaker 2: Facebook ads was a pinprick of what was spent, like 124 00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:10,000 Speaker 2: one hundred and k of billions of dollars that were spent. 125 00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:13,160 Speaker 1: Hardly anyone saw them. They were poorly designed. 126 00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:16,160 Speaker 2: My point on this is, I think the Trump Putin 127 00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:19,680 Speaker 2: relationship is actually closer because of the lies that they 128 00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:22,400 Speaker 2: both went through there. I don't feel like if we 129 00:07:22,480 --> 00:07:24,400 Speaker 2: get a ceasefire, Putin will violate it. 130 00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:26,080 Speaker 1: Am I crazy in your mind? 131 00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:30,560 Speaker 2: As a former CIA analyst put your CIA analyst hat 132 00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:32,960 Speaker 2: on here, how would you assess the likelihood? 133 00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:36,120 Speaker 1: I think you have to add to that that these 134 00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:41,080 Speaker 1: are two men who recognizing each other historic figures and 135 00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:45,680 Speaker 1: alpha dogs, so to speak. I think that that's that 136 00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:51,360 Speaker 1: shouldn't be underestimated. That there is some degree of respect 137 00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:54,160 Speaker 1: between these two. I don't know if it would be affection, 138 00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:56,480 Speaker 1: but it's respect, you know. I'm not sure they like 139 00:07:56,560 --> 00:07:59,560 Speaker 1: each other, but they definitely look at each other as 140 00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:03,160 Speaker 1: two guys who, like I said, they're historic, they are 141 00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:05,520 Speaker 1: men of the moment. And yes, I think that if 142 00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:09,240 Speaker 1: there is a ceasefire that is agreed to. I think 143 00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:13,760 Speaker 1: that Putin knows that making Trump look silly is a 144 00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:16,920 Speaker 1: dangerous thing to do, meaning that there would be real 145 00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:20,640 Speaker 1: consequences for Russia that he does not want. And I 146 00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:24,160 Speaker 1: think that he that Putin recognizes that is true. Now 147 00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:28,080 Speaker 1: that was not true in the same way obviously under 148 00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:30,920 Speaker 1: Biden when he invaded on Biden's watch and did all 149 00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:35,360 Speaker 1: this stuff. So we are in a better situation. I 150 00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:39,319 Speaker 1: think that you know, they'll be there'll be some negotiating 151 00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:41,400 Speaker 1: that happens here. This is not going to be everyone 152 00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:44,560 Speaker 1: comes out of this phone call today high fiving and 153 00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:46,960 Speaker 1: the war is over, and you know Russian, Russian and 154 00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:48,959 Speaker 1: Ukrainian soldiers are going to be kissing ladies out in 155 00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:51,720 Speaker 1: the street in jubilation. That's not going to happen, unfortunately. 156 00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:54,679 Speaker 1: But I think that you might get to, you know, 157 00:08:55,160 --> 00:08:57,120 Speaker 1: a couple of points have to be agreed to, and 158 00:08:57,160 --> 00:09:00,600 Speaker 1: then there'll be a ceasefire for thirty days and then 159 00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:02,960 Speaker 1: we'll see and the ceasefire is going to be a 160 00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:06,320 Speaker 1: rolling process. Look, the same thing has been true with 161 00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:09,840 Speaker 1: the Israeli ceasefire which just ended. The Israeli said, okay, 162 00:09:09,880 --> 00:09:12,319 Speaker 1: we'll do a ceasefire and we have these conditions and 163 00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:15,360 Speaker 1: this is what we expect, and Hamas, because it's a 164 00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:19,920 Speaker 1: psychopathic terrorist organization, violates the conditions, won't give back the hostages, 165 00:09:19,960 --> 00:09:23,720 Speaker 1: so then fighting resumes. You may see something similar with 166 00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:27,839 Speaker 1: Russia and Ukraine. But to your point, overall I think 167 00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:30,720 Speaker 1: is true, which is you're not going to have Trump 168 00:09:30,760 --> 00:09:32,920 Speaker 1: say I think we've got a ceasefire for thirty days, 169 00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:38,000 Speaker 1: and then ten days into it, Vladimir Putin is pulling 170 00:09:38,040 --> 00:09:41,600 Speaker 1: some nonsense, you know, firing missiles into Kiev and acting 171 00:09:41,679 --> 00:09:44,040 Speaker 1: like he can get away with whatever he wants, because 172 00:09:44,559 --> 00:09:48,080 Speaker 1: there will be consequences when Trump is the commander in chief, financial, 173 00:09:48,160 --> 00:09:52,240 Speaker 1: maybe diplomatic, maybe maybe other stuff. But Trump's not going 174 00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:55,760 Speaker 1: to allow that to go unpunished. Yeah, you're I think 175 00:09:55,760 --> 00:09:56,240 Speaker 1: you're right. 176 00:09:56,440 --> 00:10:02,000 Speaker 2: And look, I am just genuinely curious how the media 177 00:10:02,160 --> 00:10:05,800 Speaker 2: will cover it. I saw I was reading over the weekend. 178 00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:06,040 Speaker 1: Buck. 179 00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:07,520 Speaker 2: I don't know if you saw it. They do this 180 00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:11,040 Speaker 2: grid Iron dinner where everybody in the media comes and 181 00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:15,559 Speaker 2: they and they make their usual jokes. And your boy, 182 00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:19,920 Speaker 2: Governor Wes Moore of Maryland got up and made all 183 00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:23,560 Speaker 2: these jokes about Russia and Trump and how Trump is 184 00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:28,480 Speaker 2: putin stooge, and everybody was just rolling over laughing. And 185 00:10:29,280 --> 00:10:32,960 Speaker 2: it feels to me such an antiquated joke to be making. 186 00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:37,560 Speaker 2: But I would almost guarantee for you that whatever the 187 00:10:37,800 --> 00:10:42,559 Speaker 2: peace agreement or ceasefire is reached between Ukraine and Russia, 188 00:10:42,679 --> 00:10:46,360 Speaker 2: that it will somehow be used as evidence that Trump 189 00:10:46,640 --> 00:10:50,400 Speaker 2: is the Manchurian candidate for Vladimir Putin. And I say 190 00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:54,360 Speaker 2: that because they don't seem to be able to come 191 00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:57,840 Speaker 2: up with any other new lines of attack. Is that 192 00:10:58,080 --> 00:11:00,760 Speaker 2: kind of interesting? Like Trump is in awe right now? 193 00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:03,000 Speaker 2: And leave aside the fact that the Democrat Party has 194 00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:06,760 Speaker 2: lit itself on fire. Lowest approval ratings going all the 195 00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:09,880 Speaker 2: way back for NBC and CNN as long as they've 196 00:11:09,880 --> 00:11:12,679 Speaker 2: been doing those polls right literally have never been lower. 197 00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:16,320 Speaker 2: But the thing that maybe surprises me the most is 198 00:11:16,360 --> 00:11:18,080 Speaker 2: they buck They can't even come up. 199 00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:20,000 Speaker 1: With any new lines of attack. 200 00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:24,400 Speaker 2: They tried the oh it's president elon and everybody was like, yeah, 201 00:11:24,520 --> 00:11:28,000 Speaker 2: that's not really working right because you told us he's 202 00:11:28,040 --> 00:11:31,080 Speaker 2: a dictator. So is he a dictator or is he 203 00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:34,600 Speaker 2: actually just the stooge of someone else? Like they're actually 204 00:11:34,640 --> 00:11:38,120 Speaker 2: mixing messages. They can't even figure out what their. 205 00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:42,640 Speaker 1: Attack angle is on Trump right now. It is deep 206 00:11:42,640 --> 00:11:47,200 Speaker 1: in the recesses of the Democrat mind right now. But 207 00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:53,079 Speaker 1: I really do believe that there is a widespread quiet 208 00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:57,199 Speaker 1: panic that they will never address and they will never accept, 209 00:11:57,240 --> 00:11:59,400 Speaker 1: But it's in the back of their minds. And it's saying, 210 00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:03,480 Speaker 1: maybe you were just wrong about this top to bottom. 211 00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:07,520 Speaker 1: Maybe you were just wrong about this guy in every respect, 212 00:12:08,160 --> 00:12:10,280 Speaker 1: and he's actually going to be great for the country, 213 00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:13,560 Speaker 1: and you did everything possible to ruin and destroy him, 214 00:12:13,880 --> 00:12:16,320 Speaker 1: and he just kept on coming and it's going to 215 00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:20,920 Speaker 1: benefit not just his voters but America. These you know 216 00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:25,120 Speaker 1: people we saw this with COVID. People would rather look 217 00:12:25,240 --> 00:12:29,640 Speaker 1: like morons than accept that they were really wrong on 218 00:12:29,679 --> 00:12:34,040 Speaker 1: something they were very dug in on. And you're even 219 00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:37,199 Speaker 1: seeing some of these people, I think you're right, Buck, Privately, 220 00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:41,200 Speaker 1: they're having light bulbs go off and they're thinking, what 221 00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:44,920 Speaker 1: if I was actually on the wrong side of history, right, 222 00:12:44,920 --> 00:12:46,920 Speaker 1: because remember how long they hit us with that all 223 00:12:46,960 --> 00:12:51,200 Speaker 1: through you're enabling, you're platforming, you're on the wrong side 224 00:12:51,240 --> 00:12:53,720 Speaker 1: of history. I don't hear wrong side of history arguments 225 00:12:53,800 --> 00:12:56,440 Speaker 1: really anymore. Let's we can just take stock of this 226 00:12:56,440 --> 00:12:59,719 Speaker 1: for a minute, they said, And it was a widespread 227 00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:03,800 Speaker 1: narrative across the entire Democrat Party from the top down 228 00:13:03,880 --> 00:13:07,040 Speaker 1: from Kamala to who is the guy who was their 229 00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:11,400 Speaker 1: vice president, Tim Walls, all these people they said he 230 00:13:11,480 --> 00:13:14,760 Speaker 1: was a fascist and that he was Hitler like that 231 00:13:14,840 --> 00:13:17,719 Speaker 1: he was America's Hitler. Here we are it's not even 232 00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:20,440 Speaker 1: two months in. He's bringing an asterisk. He's let an 233 00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:23,080 Speaker 1: astronauts come back from outer space while Biden left them 234 00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:26,520 Speaker 1: up there stranded for political reasons. He secured the border, 235 00:13:26,920 --> 00:13:29,080 Speaker 1: which every country should be allowed to do. When every 236 00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:32,120 Speaker 1: Democrat said they wanted to do, they were lying. He's 237 00:13:32,120 --> 00:13:34,960 Speaker 1: trying to get rid of government waste, fraud and abuse. 238 00:13:35,280 --> 00:13:37,880 Speaker 1: He's trying to end a horrific meat grinder of a 239 00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:40,800 Speaker 1: war that has got hundreds of thousands of casualties and 240 00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:43,559 Speaker 1: no end in sight. Does any of this sound like 241 00:13:43,679 --> 00:13:48,200 Speaker 1: Hitler stuff? Like where's the scary fascist stuff? Yeah, he's 242 00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:50,480 Speaker 1: got the richest man in the world working for free 243 00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:53,080 Speaker 1: to try to stop waste and fraud. So the price 244 00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:56,080 Speaker 1: of eggs will come down. And wow, guess what the 245 00:13:56,120 --> 00:13:58,920 Speaker 1: price of eggs is already coming down? Clay, Remember when 246 00:13:58,920 --> 00:14:01,280 Speaker 1: two weeks ago it was hasn't he brought the price 247 00:14:01,280 --> 00:14:02,000 Speaker 1: of eggs down? 248 00:14:02,840 --> 00:14:06,320 Speaker 2: I'm literally looking right now from our friend Libs of 249 00:14:06,360 --> 00:14:10,360 Speaker 2: TikTok Buck. Price of eggs since he entered office has 250 00:14:10,400 --> 00:14:14,400 Speaker 2: collapsed by fifty percent. I mean their attack angles.

I always love you. 268 00:15:07,640 --> 00:15:09,880 Speaker 1: Know when we were at mar Lago with Trump and 269 00:15:09,920 --> 00:15:13,160 Speaker 1: he insisted that we get milkshakes because Marlon will make 270 00:15:13,200 --> 00:15:16,640 Speaker 1: the best milk.

Stephen Miller, 307 00:17:29,240 --> 00:17:31,840 Speaker 1: we should put this up on clayanbuck dot com. In 308 00:17:31,880 --> 00:17:36,160 Speaker 1: a nine minute long segment that was essentially about whether 309 00:17:36,240 --> 00:17:41,840 Speaker 1: this judge who decided that he would tell planes in 310 00:17:41,960 --> 00:17:46,879 Speaker 1: the air that they had to turn around, think about 311 00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:49,680 Speaker 1: the authority, Think about the power that this judge thinks 312 00:17:49,680 --> 00:17:52,320 Speaker 1: that he has. The plans have already left. I am 313 00:17:52,520 --> 00:17:55,560 Speaker 1: ordering those planes to turn around and come back to 314 00:17:55,600 --> 00:18:00,639 Speaker 1: the United States. One. There are one hundred of federal 315 00:18:00,680 --> 00:18:03,960 Speaker 1: district district judges across the country, hundreds of them. One 316 00:18:03,960 --> 00:18:05,880 Speaker 1: of them can just be like, I disagree with this 317 00:18:05,960 --> 00:18:09,320 Speaker 1: move by the president. He has to bring the planes home. 318 00:18:10,560 --> 00:18:15,200 Speaker 1: Oh okay. Stephen Miller had an exchange with one of 319 00:18:15,280 --> 00:18:18,720 Speaker 1: the is a Casey Hunt Is that right? I think 320 00:18:19,160 --> 00:18:22,639 Speaker 1: I don't even know who's on Casey point. Yeah, Tomato, 321 00:18:22,760 --> 00:18:25,159 Speaker 1: Tomato right, So I'm not sure. But he had an 322 00:18:25,160 --> 00:18:27,320 Speaker 1: exchange with a CNN anchor. We wanted to hear some 323 00:18:27,440 --> 00:18:29,000 Speaker 1: parts of this. We broke it up for you. It's 324 00:18:29,080 --> 00:18:31,359 Speaker 1: nine minutes long. The whole thing's up at Clay and Buck. 325 00:18:31,960 --> 00:18:34,920 Speaker 1: But Stephen Miller was taking no prisoners on this one. 326 00:18:34,960 --> 00:18:37,080 Speaker 1: One of his best. He's had many good moments on TV, 327 00:18:37,359 --> 00:18:40,679 Speaker 1: but one of his very best. The school bus was 328 00:18:40,720 --> 00:18:43,480 Speaker 1: parked out front and school is in session. Play play 329 00:18:43,480 --> 00:18:46,600 Speaker 1: clip one. This judge violated the law. 330 00:18:46,760 --> 00:18:52,119 Speaker 4: He violated the we have in this country. Because that 331 00:18:52,119 --> 00:18:55,800 Speaker 4: does seem to same these same district court judges didn't 332 00:18:55,800 --> 00:18:58,800 Speaker 4: do a damn fit stop Joe Biden from flooding this. 333 00:18:58,840 --> 00:19:00,359 Speaker 1: Nation with millions of millions. 334 00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:03,240 Speaker 4: Do these district court judges didn't issue any injunctions to 335 00:19:03,320 --> 00:19:07,640 Speaker 4: save the lives of Joscelyn Hungary oral courts. 336 00:19:07,640 --> 00:19:08,400 Speaker 1: That's that what you're saying. 337 00:19:08,640 --> 00:19:11,119 Speaker 4: What I'm saying is that what you said, there's a 338 00:19:11,200 --> 00:19:18,560 Speaker 4: separation of powers. The judiciary exercises student and you are 339 00:19:18,600 --> 00:19:19,000 Speaker 4: here to see. 340 00:19:19,040 --> 00:19:19,359 Speaker 1: I will do. 341 00:19:19,720 --> 00:19:23,200 Speaker 5: You're here to speak. I will answer that one simple question. 342 00:19:23,840 --> 00:19:27,159 Speaker 4: Ready, here we go. Under a proper reading of the constitution, 343 00:19:27,359 --> 00:19:32,280 Speaker 4: district court judges provide relief to individual plaintiffs seeking relief. 344 00:19:32,480 --> 00:19:35,800 Speaker 4: District court judges do not have the authority as a 345 00:19:35,840 --> 00:19:39,320 Speaker 4: general matter to enjoin the functioning of the executive branch, 346 00:19:39,440 --> 00:19:42,639 Speaker 4: but their authority is at its lowest point when the 347 00:19:42,680 --> 00:19:45,720 Speaker 4: president is exercising his powers as commander in chief. And 348 00:19:45,760 --> 00:19:47,720 Speaker 4: I asked you a question you never answered it. Can 349 00:19:47,800 --> 00:19:50,440 Speaker 4: a judge enjoined troop movements overseas? Can a district court 350 00:19:50,480 --> 00:19:53,360 Speaker 4: judge and join treat movements overseas? Yes, sir, I am 351 00:19:53,359 --> 00:19:55,840 Speaker 4: not going to get into the Just say no, and 352 00:19:55,880 --> 00:19:56,840 Speaker 4: then you'll know that I'm. 353 00:19:56,840 --> 00:20:00,720 Speaker 1: D I like that. I'm gonna steal that. And for 354 00:20:01,040 --> 00:20:02,000 Speaker 1: the next time. 355 00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:04,440 Speaker 2: I get into an argument with my wife I don't 356 00:20:04,440 --> 00:20:07,360 Speaker 2: know if Steven uses that one with his lovely wife Katie. 357 00:20:07,720 --> 00:20:09,960 Speaker 2: Just say no so that you'll know that I'm right 358 00:20:10,240 --> 00:20:13,960 Speaker 2: is probably not a marital argument tactic that works well. 359 00:20:14,320 --> 00:20:17,720 Speaker 2: But it's phenomenal television, Buck. I mean, that was just 360 00:20:17,880 --> 00:20:18,720 Speaker 2: a whipping. 361 00:20:18,960 --> 00:20:21,320 Speaker 1: Here's here's what is at the core of the and 362 00:20:21,320 --> 00:20:23,200 Speaker 1: again it's it's nine minutes, which were not We can't 363 00:20:23,200 --> 00:20:24,639 Speaker 1: play the whole thing on air, but you can go 364 00:20:24,640 --> 00:20:26,480 Speaker 1: to Clayanbuck dot com. We'll have it up there for 365 00:20:26,480 --> 00:20:28,280 Speaker 1: if you want to see it in one place. It's 366 00:20:28,320 --> 00:20:31,240 Speaker 1: worth watching if you can. It's nine minutes and and 367 00:20:31,280 --> 00:20:33,879 Speaker 1: what's at there's a lot of things that are an issue, 368 00:20:33,880 --> 00:20:35,560 Speaker 1: but really at the core if the whole thing, Clay 369 00:20:35,640 --> 00:20:38,600 Speaker 1: is these judges. First of all, we talk about the 370 00:20:38,680 --> 00:20:42,159 Speaker 1: number because you can tell this is how partisan leftists, 371 00:20:42,280 --> 00:20:44,960 Speaker 1: some of whom are judges, have decided that they're going 372 00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:47,080 Speaker 1: to oppose Trump. They're just going to stop him from 373 00:20:47,160 --> 00:20:50,320 Speaker 1: doing things that as president he has the right in 374 00:20:50,359 --> 00:20:52,760 Speaker 1: the authority to do. They're just going to say no, 375 00:20:52,840 --> 00:20:55,280 Speaker 1: you can't do that, and they'll eventually get overturned by 376 00:20:55,280 --> 00:20:57,080 Speaker 1: the Supreme Court and they know that, but they're just 377 00:20:57,119 --> 00:21:00,480 Speaker 1: going to keep trying to stop him. If if, if 378 00:21:00,480 --> 00:21:03,760 Speaker 1: a judge is allowed to tell the president when he 379 00:21:03,800 --> 00:21:07,800 Speaker 1: has used executive authority to expel non citizens from the 380 00:21:07,880 --> 00:21:11,520 Speaker 1: United States, you have to turn the plane around. Can 381 00:21:11,560 --> 00:21:14,639 Speaker 1: a judge say you can't bomb the Hohufi's in Yemen? 382 00:21:14,920 --> 00:21:17,119 Speaker 1: You have to turn those missiles around, or you have 383 00:21:17,160 --> 00:21:19,919 Speaker 1: to turn those planes around? Like where does it stop 384 00:21:19,960 --> 00:21:20,520 Speaker 1: and start? 385 00:21:21,200 --> 00:21:26,320 Speaker 2: I think that's why Stephen Miller's argument is so persuade persuasive. Also, 386 00:21:26,920 --> 00:21:28,680 Speaker 2: I'm gonna circle back to that in a sec Buck, 387 00:21:28,760 --> 00:21:32,480 Speaker 2: But this is I think emblematic of why Trump two 388 00:21:32,480 --> 00:21:35,760 Speaker 2: point zero is so much more successful than Trump one 389 00:21:35,800 --> 00:21:39,800 Speaker 2: point zero was Trump got his fighters, and he put 390 00:21:39,880 --> 00:21:43,040 Speaker 2: his team together and they are a dream team of 391 00:21:43,119 --> 00:21:47,959 Speaker 2: advisors of an incredibly high intellect. How many IQ points 392 00:21:47,960 --> 00:21:50,359 Speaker 2: do you think the difference between Stephen Miller and that 393 00:21:50,480 --> 00:21:52,359 Speaker 2: CNN anchor was Buck twenty? 394 00:21:53,040 --> 00:21:55,800 Speaker 1: I mean, this is there's a miss there's a mismatch here. 395 00:21:55,840 --> 00:21:57,000 Speaker 1: There is a mismatch to be. 396 00:21:57,000 --> 00:22:00,320 Speaker 2: Sure, and there is a high level of intellect sctual 397 00:22:00,520 --> 00:22:04,040 Speaker 2: heft that did not exist on the same level for 398 00:22:04,280 --> 00:22:07,720 Speaker 2: Trump one point zero. And I think when you hear 399 00:22:07,880 --> 00:22:11,120 Speaker 2: the Trump team make their arguments, and you see how 400 00:22:11,160 --> 00:22:14,439 Speaker 2: well they can slap down the counter arguments. It is 401 00:22:14,560 --> 00:22:19,400 Speaker 2: incredible how much difference there is, and not only intelligence, 402 00:22:19,400 --> 00:22:22,320 Speaker 2: but also comprehension of the issues. Now, let me circle back, 403 00:22:22,359 --> 00:22:25,280 Speaker 2: because I think this is an important part of the 404 00:22:25,400 --> 00:22:29,879 Speaker 2: larger story here. What Stephen Miller is pointing out is 405 00:22:30,400 --> 00:22:35,080 Speaker 2: that federal district court judges do not have the authority 406 00:22:35,359 --> 00:22:40,920 Speaker 2: to micro manage the power of the executive branch. Trump clearly, 407 00:22:41,119 --> 00:22:44,880 Speaker 2: and even the CNN anchor didn't argue, Trump clearly has 408 00:22:44,920 --> 00:22:47,760 Speaker 2: the ability to, as you pointed out, order strikes against 409 00:22:47,760 --> 00:22:51,800 Speaker 2: the huties, or to decide that he wants to in 410 00:22:51,880 --> 00:22:55,480 Speaker 2: some way move around brigades inside of Europe or in 411 00:22:55,520 --> 00:22:59,120 Speaker 2: the United States. There isn't an ability of a federal 412 00:22:59,160 --> 00:23:03,879 Speaker 2: district court to challenge it. And Democrats are so desperate 413 00:23:03,960 --> 00:23:07,760 Speaker 2: to restrain Trump that what you really have and this 414 00:23:07,880 --> 00:23:10,000 Speaker 2: is why the Supreme Court needs to look at this 415 00:23:10,720 --> 00:23:15,600 Speaker 2: is a distinction between the Supreme Court reviewing and the 416 00:23:15,680 --> 00:23:19,920 Speaker 2: judiciary reviewing the acts of the executive to determine whether 417 00:23:20,080 --> 00:23:23,679 Speaker 2: or not they are constitutional in a big picture sense 418 00:23:24,040 --> 00:23:27,000 Speaker 2: and micro managing on a day to day basis the 419 00:23:27,080 --> 00:23:30,760 Speaker 2: individual actions that the executive orders and what they're trying 420 00:23:30,800 --> 00:23:32,240 Speaker 2: to do. And this is what I sat was pointing 421 00:23:32,240 --> 00:23:36,919 Speaker 2: out yesterday, arguing about birthright citizenship is the province of 422 00:23:37,080 --> 00:23:42,400 Speaker 2: the judiciary. That's a big picture thing. Trump said, executive authority. Hey, 423 00:23:42,640 --> 00:23:46,520 Speaker 2: I'm interpreting the fourteenth Amendment this way. Courts are going 424 00:23:46,560 --> 00:23:48,800 Speaker 2: to have their take. I actually think that's going to 425 00:23:48,800 --> 00:23:51,120 Speaker 2: be a challenge for Trump, even at the Supreme Court. 426 00:23:51,600 --> 00:23:56,480 Speaker 2: But Trump has the clear ability to make decisions as 427 00:23:56,520 --> 00:23:59,760 Speaker 2: it pertains to border security, which is the same thing 428 00:23:59,800 --> 00:24:03,760 Speaker 2: that Biden was allowed to do, unfortunately to the detriment 429 00:24:03,840 --> 00:24:07,720 Speaker 2: of the country. And so Stephen Miller is just destroying 430 00:24:07,760 --> 00:24:11,840 Speaker 2: this argument that this left wing CNN host is trying 431 00:24:11,840 --> 00:24:14,280 Speaker 2: to make it. You know, this buck from television. There's 432 00:24:14,359 --> 00:24:17,960 Speaker 2: probably some frantic producer in her ear trying to give 433 00:24:17,960 --> 00:24:19,399 Speaker 2: her this. 434 00:24:19,720 --> 00:24:23,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, they're trying to bail her out. And this also, though, 435 00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:25,479 Speaker 1: I think, goes to what the administration learned from the 436 00:24:25,480 --> 00:24:30,280 Speaker 1: first term to this term, and that is the process 437 00:24:30,320 --> 00:24:33,679 Speaker 1: is the punishment. Delay is the game, and they can't 438 00:24:33,720 --> 00:24:36,800 Speaker 1: allow that to happen. A big part of people will 439 00:24:36,800 --> 00:24:38,720 Speaker 1: say this and they don't like when I point this out, 440 00:24:38,760 --> 00:24:41,000 Speaker 1: but then they always admit that I'm right. Like I'll 441 00:24:41,040 --> 00:24:42,800 Speaker 1: hear people on the right of vote for Trump say, well, 442 00:24:42,800 --> 00:24:46,399 Speaker 1: you know, Russia collusion. It didn't work. I mean, it 443 00:24:46,440 --> 00:24:49,840 Speaker 1: didn't get all the way, but it certainly slowed down 444 00:24:50,280 --> 00:24:53,879 Speaker 1: and jammed up and messed up the administration in twenty 445 00:24:53,920 --> 00:24:57,119 Speaker 1: seventeen to have to deal with all the nonsense and 446 00:24:57,160 --> 00:24:59,920 Speaker 1: the media and the lawyers and the depositions and everything else. 447 00:25:00,440 --> 00:25:03,320 Speaker 1: Here's Stephen Miller saying, we see what we see the 448 00:25:03,359 --> 00:25:06,080 Speaker 1: game here. If every person that Trump is going to 449 00:25:06,119 --> 00:25:09,320 Speaker 1: deport who is an illegal gets a federal judge saying no, 450 00:25:09,440 --> 00:25:12,399 Speaker 1: you can't do that. You know this, then the whole 451 00:25:12,440 --> 00:25:14,479 Speaker 1: thing just collapses. Is cut to play it? 452 00:25:14,720 --> 00:25:18,480 Speaker 4: How are you going to expel illegal alien invaders from 453 00:25:18,480 --> 00:25:21,200 Speaker 4: our country who are raping little girls, who are murdering 454 00:25:21,200 --> 00:25:24,040 Speaker 4: little girls. If each and every deportation has to be 455 00:25:24,080 --> 00:25:26,560 Speaker 4: adjudicated and a district court judge, and that means you 456 00:25:26,560 --> 00:25:28,800 Speaker 4: have no country. It means you have no sovereignty, It 457 00:25:28,840 --> 00:25:31,960 Speaker 4: means you have no future. It is fundamentally incompatible to 458 00:25:32,080 --> 00:25:35,520 Speaker 4: have a country and have individual expulsions adjudicated by a 459 00:25:35,560 --> 00:25:36,720 Speaker 4: single distract court judge. 460 00:25:36,720 --> 00:25:39,639 Speaker 1: I'm just trying to figure out the system, do you, 461 00:25:39,680 --> 00:25:43,159 Speaker 1: Because what does the Trump administration believe, because we do 462 00:25:43,240 --> 00:25:44,679 Speaker 1: have separation of powers in this country. 463 00:25:44,760 --> 00:25:49,920 Speaker 4: I hear what you're saying, Yes, poweriary, you're fearing Stevens. 464 00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:53,560 Speaker 4: Let the executive function is the separation of power. That 465 00:25:53,800 --> 00:25:57,199 Speaker 4: is the see to ignore the judge's order here because 466 00:25:57,240 --> 00:26:01,080 Speaker 4: you thought you could. So the judges and the actions 467 00:26:01,119 --> 00:26:03,800 Speaker 4: taken by the Departments of the Defense, Justice, and Homeland 468 00:26:03,800 --> 00:26:06,199 Speaker 4: Security are not in conflict. And the department just has 469 00:26:06,240 --> 00:26:07,960 Speaker 4: been clear that they are not in conflict. 470 00:26:08,960 --> 00:26:11,119 Speaker 1: See. The whole thing here with the CNN anger to 471 00:26:11,160 --> 00:26:15,000 Speaker 1: be clear is they want the administration to say, well, 472 00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:17,840 Speaker 1: they're just ignoring judges, and then that becomes oh my gosh, 473 00:26:17,840 --> 00:26:20,640 Speaker 1: you know, constitutional crisis and all the rest of it. 474 00:26:21,040 --> 00:26:24,439 Speaker 1: But in reality, the judge's order was insane. Okay, yes, plane, 475 00:26:24,520 --> 00:26:28,200 Speaker 1: plane in flight, turn the plane around. As Steven he 476 00:26:28,520 --> 00:26:30,280 Speaker 1: even went in up to point this out. He's like, 477 00:26:30,640 --> 00:26:32,520 Speaker 1: do they know what route the plane is on? This 478 00:26:32,560 --> 00:26:34,639 Speaker 1: is a national security issue. It's got a bunch of 479 00:26:34,840 --> 00:26:37,560 Speaker 1: trend to Aragua terrorists on it. You're just going to 480 00:26:37,680 --> 00:26:40,440 Speaker 1: change the route? Do you know? You know who's meeting 481 00:26:40,440 --> 00:26:43,040 Speaker 1: the plane on the other side? What you know. The 482 00:26:43,080 --> 00:26:46,399 Speaker 1: whole thing it is, it is insane that this judge 483 00:26:46,400 --> 00:26:48,360 Speaker 1: did this. But if you go and you look at him, 484 00:26:48,440 --> 00:26:51,080 Speaker 1: he's got a super anti Trump, lunatic wife. He was 485 00:26:51,119 --> 00:26:54,040 Speaker 1: involved with the Russia collusion fives and nonsense. He's an 486 00:26:54,040 --> 00:26:58,040 Speaker 1: anti Trump hashtag resistant psycho. It's like a member of 487 00:26:59,040 --> 00:27:01,560 Speaker 1: what's that group, the the Lincoln Project or whatever it 488 00:27:01,640 --> 00:27:03,880 Speaker 1: is that the Lincoln Project has a judge and it's 489 00:27:03,920 --> 00:27:04,359 Speaker 1: this guy. 490 00:27:05,119 --> 00:27:08,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, and look, this is the angle. I told you 491 00:27:08,359 --> 00:27:10,879 Speaker 2: that this is the angle they're gonna try to take yesterday. 492 00:27:11,600 --> 00:27:16,000 Speaker 2: They're very clearly going to try to avoid arguing against 493 00:27:16,080 --> 00:27:20,600 Speaker 2: what Trump did in terms of the deportation, and instead, 494 00:27:20,640 --> 00:27:25,120 Speaker 2: buck they're going to argue he's a dictator. He's defying 495 00:27:25,200 --> 00:27:25,919 Speaker 2: court orders. 496 00:27:26,119 --> 00:27:26,280 Speaker 1: Right. 497 00:27:26,280 --> 00:27:28,320 Speaker 2: They're not going to talk about whether the court order 498 00:27:28,440 --> 00:27:30,720 Speaker 2: was legitimate. They're not going to talk about what the 499 00:27:30,800 --> 00:27:34,199 Speaker 2: court order actually did or would have required, which is 500 00:27:34,280 --> 00:27:39,000 Speaker 2: bringing felons back into the country. They're going to talk 501 00:27:39,160 --> 00:27:41,360 Speaker 2: about the fact that he defied an order. And I'll 502 00:27:41,359 --> 00:27:43,399 Speaker 2: tell you what they're also going to do. And we 503 00:27:43,480 --> 00:27:47,560 Speaker 2: told you this was coming, but prepare yourself. Trump is 504 00:27:47,600 --> 00:27:50,359 Speaker 2: not going to be flawless on the deportations. I'm just 505 00:27:50,400 --> 00:27:53,240 Speaker 2: telling all of you this, He's not going to be flawless. 506 00:27:53,359 --> 00:27:56,600 Speaker 2: They're gonna get the wrong guy. They're gonna it's it's 507 00:27:56,680 --> 00:28:00,160 Speaker 2: impossible to be one hundred percent accurate. And what they're 508 00:28:00,160 --> 00:28:02,399 Speaker 2: going to do is they're going to find that anecdote, 509 00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:06,720 Speaker 2: that guy who was misidentified, and they're going to turn 510 00:28:06,800 --> 00:28:12,240 Speaker 2: him into a national symbol of Trump's authoritarianism. And this 511 00:28:12,320 --> 00:28:16,480 Speaker 2: is why anecdotal stories buck are often unfair because the 512 00:28:16,600 --> 00:28:20,120 Speaker 2: anecdote should be representative of the larger story. 513 00:28:20,440 --> 00:28:22,560 Speaker 1: People connect on a story basis. 514 00:28:22,840 --> 00:28:25,840 Speaker 2: When an anecdote is the outlier, which is what happened 515 00:28:25,880 --> 00:28:29,320 Speaker 2: with BLM, most people will have great relationships and interactions 516 00:28:29,359 --> 00:28:32,560 Speaker 2: with police. One thing goes bad, and this is indicative 517 00:28:32,560 --> 00:28:35,520 Speaker 2: of how every black person in America is taught, is treated, 518 00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:38,000 Speaker 2: and so it's fundamentally unfair. 519 00:28:38,120 --> 00:28:41,320 Speaker 1: It's propaganda. This is what they're trying to do right now. 520 00:28:41,440 --> 00:28:44,400 Speaker 1: This Mackmood Khalil guy. What you're saying is what they're 521 00:28:44,440 --> 00:28:47,320 Speaker 1: trying to do right now now. Machmood Khalil is for 522 00:28:47,800 --> 00:28:50,360 Speaker 1: a lot of us not sympathetic at all. So that's 523 00:28:50,360 --> 00:28:53,680 Speaker 1: the only difference. But they've tried to rally around this 524 00:28:53,720 --> 00:28:56,000 Speaker 1: guy and say that he is the first example of 525 00:28:56,040 --> 00:29:00,760 Speaker 1: Trump's overreach and authoritarianism and all the rest of it. Yeah, 526 00:29:00,800 --> 00:29:03,120 Speaker 1: I mean, try try not to have some pro homast 527 00:29:03,200 --> 00:29:05,560 Speaker 1: you hating miniac as your as your standard bearer, and 528 00:29:05,560 --> 00:29:07,640 Speaker 1: things will probably be better off for the Democrats. But 529 00:29:07,680 --> 00:29:10,480 Speaker 1: we'll see, once again with Trenda Raguwall, you have Democrats 530 00:29:10,960 --> 00:29:14,640 Speaker 1: going to the mat to defend really the worst of 531 00:29:14,680 --> 00:29:17,640 Speaker 1: the worst, the worst of the worst. And that's the 532 00:29:17,680 --> 00:29:19,680 Speaker 1: other part of this too, Clay, Like, we're arguing about 533 00:29:19,680 --> 00:29:22,400 Speaker 1: this on the on the legal grounds and the constitutional grounds. 534 00:29:22,960 --> 00:29:24,400 Speaker 1: For a lot of people, it's just you know, I 535 00:29:24,520 --> 00:29:28,960 Speaker 1: just don't want these these scumbag gang members who aren't 536 00:29:28,960 --> 00:29:30,480 Speaker 1: even allowed to be in the country in the first place, 537 00:29:30,480 --> 00:29:32,640 Speaker 1: to be here anymore. And whoever gets rid of them, 538 00:29:32,800 --> 00:29:35,960 Speaker 1: I like that, get them out of the country. You know, 539 00:29:36,040 --> 00:29:39,400 Speaker 1: Trump understands that aspect of this too. There's no there's 540 00:29:39,440 --> 00:29:41,520 Speaker 1: no normal person who's like, you know what, we really 541 00:29:41,560 --> 00:29:45,200 Speaker 1: need more trying to Iragua hitman in America. That would 542 00:29:45,240 --> 00:29:49,479 Speaker 1: be good. Let's have more of that. So yeah, he's 543 00:29:49,520 --> 00:29:52,560 Speaker 1: he's forcing them to uh to to take some very 544 00:29:52,640 --> 00:29:56,720 Speaker 1: unpopular stands but Democrats again run up the scoreboard. Everybody. 545 00:29:56,720 --> 00:29:58,320 Speaker 1: We've got to keep running up the scoreboard. That's what 546 00:29:58,360 --> 00:30:00,920 Speaker 1: Trump's doing. I don't know if Carolina comes. The best 547 00:30:00,960 --> 00:30:03,920 Speaker 1: kept secret of the firearms industry Bear Creek Arsenal.

I'm reading this from Caroline Levitt, who posted 572 00:31:18,600 --> 00:31:23,040 Speaker 2: this on social media. Today, President Trump and President Putin 573 00:31:23,120 --> 00:31:26,000 Speaker 2: spoke about the need for peace and a ceasefire in 574 00:31:26,040 --> 00:31:30,080 Speaker 2: the Ukraine War. Both leaders agreed this conflict needs to 575 00:31:30,240 --> 00:31:33,680 Speaker 2: end with a lasting peace. They also stress the need 576 00:31:33,760 --> 00:31:38,240 Speaker 2: for improved bilateral relations between the United States and Russia. 577 00:31:38,600 --> 00:31:41,760 Speaker 2: The blood and treasure that both Ukraine and Russia have 578 00:31:41,840 --> 00:31:45,040 Speaker 2: been spending in this war, would we better spent on 579 00:31:45,120 --> 00:31:48,760 Speaker 2: the needs of their people. Conflicts should have never started 580 00:31:48,920 --> 00:31:52,000 Speaker 2: and should have ended long ago with sincere and good 581 00:31:52,040 --> 00:31:56,280 Speaker 2: faith piece efforts. Again, I'm reading from the statement, the 582 00:31:56,360 --> 00:31:59,160 Speaker 2: leaders agreed the movement to peace will begin with an 583 00:31:59,280 --> 00:32:03,800 Speaker 2: energy and an infrastructure cease fire, as well as technical 584 00:32:03,840 --> 00:32:09,240 Speaker 2: negotiations on implementation of a maritime ceasefire in the Black Sea, 585 00:32:09,720 --> 00:32:14,520 Speaker 2: full cease fire and permanent peace. These negotiations will begin immediately. 586 00:32:14,680 --> 00:32:19,000 Speaker 2: In the Middle East, the leader spoke broadly about the 587 00:32:19,000 --> 00:32:22,440 Speaker 2: Middle East as a region of potential cooperation to prevent 588 00:32:22,560 --> 00:32:26,800 Speaker 2: future conflict. They further discussed the need to stop proliferation 589 00:32:27,040 --> 00:32:31,040 Speaker 2: of strategic weapons and will engage with others to ensure 590 00:32:31,120 --> 00:32:34,720 Speaker 2: the broadest possible application. The two leaders shared the view 591 00:32:34,800 --> 00:32:38,240 Speaker 2: Iran should never be in a position to destroy Israel, 592 00:32:38,720 --> 00:32:41,560 Speaker 2: and the two leaders agreed a future with an improved 593 00:32:41,640 --> 00:32:46,000 Speaker 2: bilateral relationship between the US and Russia has huge upside, 594 00:32:46,040 --> 00:32:51,960 Speaker 2: including enormous economic deals and geopolitical stability when peace has 595 00:32:52,240 --> 00:32:56,440 Speaker 2: been achieved. That is the statement that was just released. 596 00:32:56,520 --> 00:33:01,000 Speaker 2: On the call between Putin and Trump. Up a little 597 00:33:01,000 --> 00:33:03,560 Speaker 2: bit earlier, we were talking about when was the last 598 00:33:03,560 --> 00:33:07,720 Speaker 2: time Biden talked. Biden had not spoken to Putin since 599 00:33:07,760 --> 00:33:10,960 Speaker 2: the invasion of Ukraine. He did speak to him in 600 00:33:11,040 --> 00:33:14,680 Speaker 2: twenty twenty one. Just to FYI. We were asking. I 601 00:33:14,800 --> 00:33:17,800 Speaker 2: was whether they had spoken while Biden was in office. 602 00:33:17,840 --> 00:33:19,720 Speaker 2: It happened in twenty twenty one. 603 00:33:20,640 --> 00:33:20,920 Speaker 1: Buck. 604 00:33:21,080 --> 00:33:24,760 Speaker 2: I think all of that is moving in a very 605 00:33:24,880 --> 00:33:29,240 Speaker 2: favorable direction. I guess the question out here and again 606 00:33:29,320 --> 00:33:31,720 Speaker 2: that is the statement we just released that was just 607 00:33:31,800 --> 00:33:36,040 Speaker 2: released by the White House. If Trump is able to 608 00:33:36,160 --> 00:33:40,480 Speaker 2: actually get peace in Ukraine, wouldn't he deserve the Nobel 609 00:33:40,520 --> 00:33:45,400 Speaker 2: Peace Prize? Like in an honest, legitimate world. Wouldn't this 610 00:33:45,520 --> 00:33:49,760 Speaker 2: be the very definition of what a mediator and or 611 00:33:49,880 --> 00:33:53,360 Speaker 2: leader who was not directly involved in the conflict should 612 00:33:53,400 --> 00:33:56,040 Speaker 2: receive for ending a conflict of this significance. 613 00:33:56,600 --> 00:33:59,120 Speaker 1: Yes, of course, But the Nobel Peace Prize has gone 614 00:33:59,160 --> 00:34:02,920 Speaker 1: to Barack ob for doing nothing. I think Yaser Erafat 615 00:34:02,960 --> 00:34:05,320 Speaker 1: got it at one point. You look at the people 616 00:34:05,320 --> 00:34:07,640 Speaker 1: who've gotten the Nobel Peace Prize and it has unfortunately 617 00:34:07,680 --> 00:34:11,160 Speaker 1: become a a bit of a political joke in a 618 00:34:11,160 --> 00:34:14,680 Speaker 1: lot of ways. So I know your point is well taken, 619 00:34:14,800 --> 00:34:19,160 Speaker 1: which is that this would be a momentous, momentous diplomatic 620 00:34:19,680 --> 00:34:23,360 Speaker 1: win and not just a win for humanity. I mean truly, 621 00:34:24,120 --> 00:34:26,280 Speaker 1: when I don't know how many of you have watched, 622 00:34:26,880 --> 00:34:29,120 Speaker 1: there's a lot of video out there about what's going 623 00:34:29,160 --> 00:34:34,400 Speaker 1: on on the Ukraine Russia front and what these soldiers 624 00:34:34,440 --> 00:34:39,080 Speaker 1: are going through. It is trench warfare. They have drones 625 00:34:39,200 --> 00:34:43,000 Speaker 1: that are flying in at them and blowing people up. 626 00:34:43,440 --> 00:34:46,680 Speaker 1: Every day, They've got artillery rounds blowing up all around. 627 00:34:46,760 --> 00:34:50,080 Speaker 1: I mean, it's you've got guys that are storming trenches 628 00:34:50,680 --> 00:34:53,200 Speaker 1: and you know, machine gunning each other at close range. 629 00:34:53,239 --> 00:34:55,680 Speaker 1: Like it's horrible stuff that's happening day in and day 630 00:34:55,719 --> 00:34:59,520 Speaker 1: out over there. And bringing this to an end, it 631 00:34:59,520 --> 00:35:05,200 Speaker 1: would be such a win. And it's very frustrating, is 632 00:35:05,200 --> 00:35:07,480 Speaker 1: even the right word. It's grotesque when you see these 633 00:35:07,520 --> 00:35:09,960 Speaker 1: people that are saying, but Trump is just throwing in 634 00:35:10,000 --> 00:35:14,200 Speaker 1: the towel. What are these people think is going to happen? 635 00:35:14,880 --> 00:35:17,520 Speaker 1: You know, at some point it feels like the Slava 636 00:35:17,640 --> 00:35:20,360 Speaker 1: Ukrainian people really just feel like if they string this 637 00:35:20,440 --> 00:35:22,759 Speaker 1: thing out long enough, maybe we'll have American sent over 638 00:35:22,800 --> 00:35:24,879 Speaker 1: there to do the fighting for them, which is an 639 00:35:24,880 --> 00:35:27,200 Speaker 1: absolute red line for you, for me, and I know 640 00:35:27,280 --> 00:35:30,560 Speaker 1: for everybody listening. I mean, that's just completely beyond the pale. 641 00:35:30,600 --> 00:35:32,840 Speaker 1: We should not lose a single American life, a single 642 00:35:32,880 --> 00:35:37,080 Speaker 1: American finger fighting over who's in control of the eastern 643 00:35:37,120 --> 00:35:42,360 Speaker 1: portion of Ukraine. And in the meantime, there's nothing to 644 00:35:42,400 --> 00:35:46,080 Speaker 1: be gained in the long run for Ukraine continuing to 645 00:35:46,160 --> 00:35:50,759 Speaker 1: fight and lose its entire able bodied male population, when 646 00:35:50,760 --> 00:35:54,320 Speaker 1: there's the possibility that you could still have a country 647 00:35:54,360 --> 00:35:56,600 Speaker 1: that is functioning, a country that has a homeland for 648 00:35:56,640 --> 00:35:59,680 Speaker 1: the Ukrainian people, and wouldn't be in the midst of 649 00:35:59,680 --> 00:36:02,360 Speaker 1: it a horrible and bloody war. Like I said, Clay, 650 00:36:02,360 --> 00:36:04,759 Speaker 1: it used to be that the Democrats were supposedly the 651 00:36:04,760 --> 00:36:07,439 Speaker 1: peace party. They were really the undermine America during time 652 00:36:07,440 --> 00:36:10,520 Speaker 1: of war party. That's actually more accurate, but they would 653 00:36:10,520 --> 00:36:13,319 Speaker 1: at least go through the motions of pretending that they 654 00:36:13,320 --> 00:36:15,400 Speaker 1: didn't want, you know, don't go after Saddam in the 655 00:36:15,400 --> 00:36:17,439 Speaker 1: first war, don't go after Saddam in the second ward. 656 00:36:17,440 --> 00:36:19,160 Speaker 1: Don't you know? They were the ones that were saying 657 00:36:19,680 --> 00:36:22,319 Speaker 1: we and maybe they're right about the second one, but 658 00:36:22,840 --> 00:36:25,920 Speaker 1: we shouldn't be fighting these wars, except when it comes 659 00:36:25,960 --> 00:36:29,319 Speaker 1: to wars like this where there's some humanitarian interest and 660 00:36:29,600 --> 00:36:33,359 Speaker 1: no real American interest at stake. So I think that 661 00:36:33,760 --> 00:36:36,239 Speaker 1: if Trump was able to pull this off, it's a 662 00:36:36,320 --> 00:36:38,839 Speaker 1: huge win all around. And again it brings us back 663 00:36:38,880 --> 00:36:42,319 Speaker 1: to yes, Trump out there negotiating to end wars and 664 00:36:42,320 --> 00:36:47,080 Speaker 1: stop bloodshed, just like Hitler would have done. I would 665 00:36:47,120 --> 00:36:52,960 Speaker 1: also point out, if we could get a ceasefire, the 666 00:36:53,040 --> 00:36:59,960 Speaker 1: price of gas would drop immediately in a significant fashion. 667 00:37:00,480 --> 00:37:03,320 Speaker 1: Trump sees that he knows all this stuff with Russia 668 00:37:03,360 --> 00:37:05,960 Speaker 1: has hurt us economically, probably in the West, more than 669 00:37:05,960 --> 00:37:07,960 Speaker 1: it's hurt Russia. Russia doesn't really care. 670 00:37:08,040 --> 00:37:11,920 Speaker 2: And even the opening backup of the Black Sea would 671 00:37:12,200 --> 00:37:18,000 Speaker 2: dramatically decrease prices for a variety of goods, including is am. 672 00:37:18,040 --> 00:37:21,040 Speaker 2: I correct that Ukraine is one of the largest wheat 673 00:37:21,160 --> 00:37:26,160 Speaker 2: producing countries in the world, and that you know, you know, 674 00:37:26,200 --> 00:37:29,160 Speaker 2: the amount of goods that the grain is used to 675 00:37:29,200 --> 00:37:32,439 Speaker 2: produce has also driven up the cost. And I've been 676 00:37:32,440 --> 00:37:36,440 Speaker 2: told that because of the shipping costs associated with the 677 00:37:36,560 --> 00:37:39,880 Speaker 2: dangers of the Black Sea. The other thing is Trump 678 00:37:39,920 --> 00:37:44,759 Speaker 2: has attacked the huties in the Red Sea area, right 679 00:37:45,160 --> 00:37:48,279 Speaker 2: that is also driven up the cost of goods being 680 00:37:48,320 --> 00:37:51,600 Speaker 2: shipped around the world. So while there is a great 681 00:37:51,680 --> 00:37:54,840 Speaker 2: focus on tariffs and what the impact of the cost 682 00:37:54,880 --> 00:37:57,920 Speaker 2: of goods could be for tariffs, I think in Trump's 683 00:37:58,000 --> 00:38:03,360 Speaker 2: internal calculation, he is seeing the ending of the wars 684 00:38:03,400 --> 00:38:05,600 Speaker 2: to the extent that we can keep them ended. And 685 00:38:05,640 --> 00:38:08,720 Speaker 2: I know they've reignited right now in the Middle East, 686 00:38:09,280 --> 00:38:11,840 Speaker 2: But if you could end the war in Ukraine. 687 00:38:13,400 --> 00:38:17,680 Speaker 1: This summer. I think you would see a massive deflationary 688 00:38:18,080 --> 00:38:20,759 Speaker 1: movement on a variety of the price of goods, in 689 00:38:20,840 --> 00:38:23,840 Speaker 1: particular oil and gas. You know, there is there is 690 00:38:23,880 --> 00:38:29,319 Speaker 1: a historical mirror image here perhaps, or there's echoes of 691 00:38:29,719 --> 00:38:33,440 Speaker 1: when Reagan came into office. Vulkar had to tighten things, 692 00:38:33,480 --> 00:38:37,200 Speaker 1: tighten things at a level that way beyond what we've 693 00:38:37,239 --> 00:38:39,879 Speaker 1: seen so far in terms of how high rates had 694 00:38:39,920 --> 00:38:44,440 Speaker 1: to go. And yeah, I mean there was essentially a recession. 695 00:38:44,480 --> 00:38:48,479 Speaker 1: Reagan more or less inherited that recession, but you had 696 00:38:48,520 --> 00:38:51,040 Speaker 1: to you had to get the you know, you had 697 00:38:51,040 --> 00:38:53,399 Speaker 1: to clear the system out, you had to get things 698 00:38:53,480 --> 00:38:56,680 Speaker 1: under control, and there was a little bit of economic 699 00:38:56,719 --> 00:38:58,839 Speaker 1: pain that the country had to go through early on, 700 00:38:59,600 --> 00:39:03,160 Speaker 1: and then one years of boom and prosperity afterwards. Right, So, 701 00:39:04,400 --> 00:39:08,000 Speaker 1: if this is a Reagan moment for Trump on the economy, 702 00:39:08,280 --> 00:39:09,640 Speaker 1: and I think there are a lot of reasons to 703 00:39:09,680 --> 00:39:12,000 Speaker 1: believe that it could be and that it will be. 704 00:39:13,000 --> 00:39:17,239 Speaker 1: The historical analogy here is very favorable. But it might 705 00:39:17,320 --> 00:39:20,960 Speaker 1: take a year, eighteen months something like that for things 706 00:39:21,000 --> 00:39:23,719 Speaker 1: to really get cooking the way they would like them to. 707 00:39:24,080 --> 00:39:27,880 Speaker 1: You cannot fix a problem that others refuse to fix 708 00:39:27,960 --> 00:39:30,640 Speaker 1: and expect that there's not going to be some discomfort 709 00:39:30,640 --> 00:39:32,839 Speaker 1: along the way, because why wouldn't they fix it if 710 00:39:32,840 --> 00:39:33,720 Speaker 1: that wasn't the case. 711 00:39:34,960 --> 00:39:37,480 Speaker 2: This is, though, a very good sign. I think it's 712 00:39:37,560 --> 00:39:39,960 Speaker 2: hard to spin it as a bad sign. It'll be 713 00:39:40,000 --> 00:39:46,560 Speaker 2: interesting to see what the larger media ecosystem says about this. Remember, 714 00:39:46,680 --> 00:39:50,799 Speaker 2: Ukraine has effectively already agreed to a thirty day ceasefire, 715 00:39:51,280 --> 00:39:55,719 Speaker 2: and it sounds like Russia is willing to potentially get 716 00:39:55,760 --> 00:39:56,520 Speaker 2: involved as well. 717 00:39:57,239 --> 00:39:59,800 Speaker 1: Let's say, let's just go through a best case scenario 718 00:40:00,640 --> 00:40:02,919 Speaker 1: for those of us who are adults, and then I'll 719 00:40:02,920 --> 00:40:04,719 Speaker 1: tell you what the Libs will say and how they'll 720 00:40:04,719 --> 00:40:07,840 Speaker 1: play this. Right, Let's assume that this ceasefire goes forward, 721 00:40:08,239 --> 00:40:10,600 Speaker 1: and maybe it doesn't, and maybe, you know, maybe Trump 722 00:40:10,640 --> 00:40:12,480 Speaker 1: ends up having to drop the hammer on Putin with 723 00:40:12,520 --> 00:40:16,279 Speaker 1: a whole lot more economic warfare stuff, and that's all possible. Okay, 724 00:40:16,320 --> 00:40:18,640 Speaker 1: we don't know. We don't get ahead of ourselves here, 725 00:40:18,719 --> 00:40:21,319 Speaker 1: but if you're gonna wargain this out a little bit, uh, 726 00:40:21,680 --> 00:40:24,920 Speaker 1: Let's assume, Clay, that the ceasefire goes forward and it 727 00:40:25,040 --> 00:40:29,719 Speaker 1: is durable, and we go into at every phase of 728 00:40:29,760 --> 00:40:32,880 Speaker 1: the ceasefire. You know, you'll be hearing from Democrats Putin 729 00:40:33,000 --> 00:40:35,200 Speaker 1: got too much of what he wanted, and he could 730 00:40:35,200 --> 00:40:38,319 Speaker 1: break the ceasefire any moment. Putin got too much of 731 00:40:38,360 --> 00:40:40,640 Speaker 1: what he wanted, and he could break the ceasefire any 732 00:40:40,640 --> 00:40:43,239 Speaker 1: You're gonna hear that over and over for months and 733 00:40:43,280 --> 00:40:45,800 Speaker 1: months and months, so that by the time it's clear 734 00:40:45,880 --> 00:40:49,160 Speaker 1: that this conflict, if this happens, this conflict actually has 735 00:40:49,440 --> 00:40:54,319 Speaker 1: ceased to be the war, the meat grinder of humanity 736 00:40:54,360 --> 00:40:57,480 Speaker 1: that it has been. They're just hoping to play this 737 00:40:57,600 --> 00:40:59,960 Speaker 1: out so that nobody even realizes that Trump is well, 738 00:41:00,160 --> 00:41:02,640 Speaker 1: you know, if you extend this out and complain about 739 00:41:02,640 --> 00:41:05,920 Speaker 1: it the whole time, it denies him, at some level 740 00:41:05,960 --> 00:41:08,960 Speaker 1: the victory, the political victory at least to some that 741 00:41:09,000 --> 00:41:12,640 Speaker 1: he would be winning by ending this thing. You see 742 00:41:12,680 --> 00:41:15,279 Speaker 1: what I mean. They complain, They say, we don't know yet, 743 00:41:15,320 --> 00:41:17,359 Speaker 1: we don't know yet, and they keep doing that until 744 00:41:17,400 --> 00:41:20,000 Speaker 1: eventually when it's clear, oh no, Trump actually pulled off 745 00:41:20,000 --> 00:41:23,160 Speaker 1: something of a diplomatic miracle here, people will have moved 746 00:41:23,200 --> 00:41:25,359 Speaker 1: on to other things that I think that's how they 747 00:41:25,360 --> 00:41:27,759 Speaker 1: play it because they're never going to say, wow, he's 748 00:41:27,800 --> 00:41:31,520 Speaker 1: a brilliant statesman, and he saved thousands and thousands of 749 00:41:31,600 --> 00:41:35,600 Speaker 1: lives and had the economy boom because of it. 750 00:41:35,600 --> 00:41:39,080 Speaker 2: It is a really good sign that they are talking. 751 00:41:39,200 --> 00:41:41,920 Speaker 2: I think again, we read you the read out on 752 00:41:42,000 --> 00:41:46,480 Speaker 2: the report. I am cautiously optimistic. I like to be 753 00:41:46,520 --> 00:41:49,640 Speaker 2: able to look at polymarket. It has now buck the 754 00:41:49,760 --> 00:41:54,120 Speaker 2: chances of a ceasefire by May one at sixty percent. 755 00:41:55,640 --> 00:41:57,960 Speaker 2: You know, you can go take either side on this 756 00:41:58,200 --> 00:42:01,360 Speaker 2: on this prediction market, right, It's kind of interesting to 757 00:42:01,360 --> 00:42:04,799 Speaker 2: look at, but that is a small favorite that we 758 00:42:04,920 --> 00:42:07,840 Speaker 2: may have a ceasefire in Ukraine by May one. The 759 00:42:07,960 --> 00:42:10,279 Speaker 2: other reason, the timing matters on this a lot buck, 760 00:42:10,320 --> 00:42:13,160 Speaker 2: and I do think it's worth, you know, reinforcing this 761 00:42:13,280 --> 00:42:17,760 Speaker 2: on a regular basis. Typically as it gets warm in Ukraine, 762 00:42:18,360 --> 00:42:22,000 Speaker 2: the armies are better able to move and the overall 763 00:42:22,040 --> 00:42:26,439 Speaker 2: fatality rates increase. It's still the midst of winter over 764 00:42:26,480 --> 00:42:28,960 Speaker 2: there right now, but moving the fighting scenes essentially the 765 00:42:29,040 --> 00:42:31,360 Speaker 2: same thing was true in Afghanistan when when the mountain 766 00:42:31,400 --> 00:42:33,880 Speaker 2: passes melt down and it's easier to you know, to 767 00:42:33,880 --> 00:42:36,400 Speaker 2: move around, you get more fighting and more shooting. So 768 00:42:36,520 --> 00:42:39,279 Speaker 2: hopefully if there is a ceasefire, they could get a 769 00:42:39,320 --> 00:42:42,000 Speaker 2: ceasefire in place by the time it starts to warm 770 00:42:42,080 --> 00:42:45,120 Speaker 2: up there, so that we can limit the overall amount 771 00:42:45,120 --> 00:42:50,160 Speaker 2: of death that might be occurring. And again to your point, yes, 772 00:42:50,560 --> 00:42:54,360 Speaker 2: very hilarian of Trump to try to end the largest 773 00:42:54,600 --> 00:42:59,160 Speaker 2: war in Europe since World War Two. It's exactly what 774 00:42:59,239 --> 00:43:01,880 Speaker 2: Hitler would have done if he had been in a 775 00:43:01,920 --> 00:43:05,600 Speaker 2: position of prominence in America. And obviously we're ridiculing the 776 00:43:05,680 --> 00:43:06,600 Speaker 2: absurdity of that. 777 00:43:07,640 --> 00:43:09,640 Speaker 1: You know, there's a very real chance that your donation 778 00:43:09,760 --> 00:43:13,239 Speaker 1: to a nonprofit organization called Preborn will help save the 779 00:43:13,320 --> 00:43:16,440 Speaker 1: life of an unborn child. For nearly twenty years now, 780 00:43:16,480 --> 00:43:18,680 Speaker 1: this group has done all they can to convince a 781 00:43:18,719 --> 00:43:22,400 Speaker 1: pregnant mother contemplating abortion there's a better plan for that 782 00:43:22,560 --> 00:43:26,000 Speaker 1: unborn baby. God has a plan in mind. This organization 783 00:43:26,080 --> 00:43:29,040 Speaker 1: operates clinics in cities across our nation where abortion rates 784 00:43:29,040 --> 00:43:31,239 Speaker 1: are the highest per capita, and they do that so 785 00:43:31,320 --> 00:43:34,080 Speaker 1: they can welcome and meet with pregnant women deciding between 786 00:43:34,120 --> 00:43:37,239 Speaker 1: life or abortion for their unborn child. The resources and 787 00:43:37,280 --> 00:43:40,240 Speaker 1: services they offer, including an ultrasound to meet their unborn baby, 788 00:43:40,239 --> 00:43:42,560 Speaker 1: have led to the choice of life. So many times 789 00:43:43,360 --> 00:43:46,640 Speaker 1: that ultrasound experience is often a game changer, making an 790 00:43:46,640 --> 00:43:50,960 Speaker 1: emotional connection between mother and child. In twenty years, Preborn 791 00:43:51,000 --> 00:43:54,520 Speaker 1: has saved three hundred thousand plus babies. When you make 792 00:43:54,560 --> 00:43:57,799 Speaker 1: a donation to Preborn, your gift provides for that ultrasound. 793 00:43:58,080 --> 00:44:00,319 Speaker 1: Twenty eight dollars is the cost of an ultra sound, 794 00:44:00,480 --> 00:44:02,840 Speaker 1: a dollar figure you may be able to provide even monthly. 795 00:44:03,239 --> 00:44:06,239 Speaker 1: Please consider a donation of whatever size you can. There 796 00:44:06,239 --> 00:44:08,080 Speaker 1: are a couple of people listening right now, and you've 797 00:44:08,120 --> 00:44:09,799 Speaker 1: done this in the past, and you've stepped up who 798 00:44:09,840 --> 00:44:13,400 Speaker 1: have sponsored Preborn's whole network for twenty four or thirty 799 00:44:13,400 --> 00:44:16,040 Speaker 1: six hours with a five or a ten thousand dollars donation, 800 00:44:16,480 --> 00:44:19,720 Speaker 1: it is one hundred percent tax deductible and for everybody else, 801 00:44:20,000 --> 00:44:22,560 Speaker 1: whatever you can spare twenty eight dollars could save a 802 00:44:22,600 --> 00:44:26,720 Speaker 1: life today.

What do 822 00:45:36,360 --> 00:45:36,879 Speaker 1: you make of it? 823 00:45:38,480 --> 00:45:40,680 Speaker 5: Well, but great to join you in Thanks for the 824 00:45:40,680 --> 00:45:44,840 Speaker 5: book support. Look to me, the ball is clearly in 825 00:45:44,880 --> 00:45:47,600 Speaker 5: Benjamin ninten Yaho's court, Buck, I mean, Donald Trump is 826 00:45:47,719 --> 00:45:50,520 Speaker 5: all in for US as relations. He's used the rhetoric 827 00:45:50,560 --> 00:45:53,080 Speaker 5: of give them hell to pay. He's made it very 828 00:45:53,120 --> 00:45:55,040 Speaker 5: clear that he and his cabinet are going to stand 829 00:45:55,080 --> 00:45:57,640 Speaker 5: shoulder to shoulder with the Israeli governments when it comes 830 00:45:57,640 --> 00:45:59,759 Speaker 5: to diplomacy, when it comes to the military, when it 831 00:45:59,760 --> 00:46:03,400 Speaker 5: comes to trying to eradicate the entirety of the Hamas 832 00:46:03,440 --> 00:46:06,600 Speaker 5: political and military cancer from the Gaza's trip. So for 833 00:46:06,960 --> 00:46:09,320 Speaker 5: some weeks now, Buck, I've been saying, the ball is 834 00:46:09,680 --> 00:46:12,960 Speaker 5: in Nityahu's court. I mean, Biebe has basically lived his 835 00:46:13,160 --> 00:46:16,239 Speaker 5: entire adult life for moments just like this. He has 836 00:46:16,280 --> 00:46:19,120 Speaker 5: led his entire adult life to wait for the opportunity 837 00:46:19,160 --> 00:46:21,080 Speaker 5: to go in and do what needs to be done, 838 00:46:21,160 --> 00:46:23,520 Speaker 5: so to speak, whether it's in Gaza, whether it's in 839 00:46:23,600 --> 00:46:26,480 Speaker 5: Lebanon and has Baalah he did that partially last summer actually, 840 00:46:26,680 --> 00:46:28,640 Speaker 5: or whether it's really the grand threat of all in 841 00:46:28,680 --> 00:46:32,360 Speaker 5: the region, which of course is the Islamus regime in Tehran. 842 00:46:32,880 --> 00:46:36,160 Speaker 5: So I'm not surprised that the ceasefire broke. Frankly, Hamas 843 00:46:36,200 --> 00:46:39,800 Speaker 5: only has itself to blame. I mean, with a medieval 844 00:46:39,920 --> 00:46:42,640 Speaker 5: Islamis death cult, they had any number of opportunities to 845 00:46:42,680 --> 00:46:46,320 Speaker 5: avoid this outcome. They completely brought this upon themselves, and frankly, 846 00:46:46,600 --> 00:46:48,520 Speaker 5: this is a necessary thing that has to happen or 847 00:46:48,560 --> 00:46:50,719 Speaker 5: if there to be any resolution whatsoever in the. 848 00:46:50,719 --> 00:46:54,239 Speaker 2: Region, congrats on the book. I know all the work 849 00:46:54,280 --> 00:46:55,960 Speaker 2: that goes into that. I hope you're having a good 850 00:46:56,000 --> 00:47:00,839 Speaker 2: time with it officially being out. What is the ultimate goal? 851 00:47:01,040 --> 00:47:04,840 Speaker 2: Do you think when it comes to Gaza? What should happen, 852 00:47:05,040 --> 00:47:09,160 Speaker 2: what's likely to happen, what does history suggest should happen. 853 00:47:09,440 --> 00:47:11,919 Speaker 5: It looks like Donald Trump has a certain vision in mind. 854 00:47:11,960 --> 00:47:14,400 Speaker 5: I mean, he wants the United States to take over Gaza. 855 00:47:14,400 --> 00:47:16,040 Speaker 5: I will be I'll be honest with you. That was 856 00:47:16,120 --> 00:47:18,960 Speaker 5: not on my personal bingo card. I'm not sure that, frankly, 857 00:47:19,000 --> 00:47:21,400 Speaker 5: that it was on Bibi Netanyahu's bingo card. I mean, 858 00:47:21,440 --> 00:47:23,399 Speaker 5: you look at his facial expression at the joint press 859 00:47:23,440 --> 00:47:26,440 Speaker 5: conference when Donald Trump announced that to the world. It 860 00:47:26,520 --> 00:47:29,120 Speaker 5: was quite humorous to look at the way that Netanyahu 861 00:47:29,320 --> 00:47:32,360 Speaker 5: and the Israeli officials in the room reacted to that. 862 00:47:32,800 --> 00:47:35,680 Speaker 5: I'm open to being persuaded of that. That's not entirely 863 00:47:35,800 --> 00:47:38,040 Speaker 5: what my first guest would have been, But look, in 864 00:47:38,360 --> 00:47:40,520 Speaker 5: my heart of hearts, I would love to see the 865 00:47:40,600 --> 00:47:43,360 Speaker 5: Arabs there find a permanent home in Jordan or Egypt, 866 00:47:43,360 --> 00:47:45,840 Speaker 5: which seems to be Donald Trump's preferred approach, and for 867 00:47:45,960 --> 00:47:48,320 Speaker 5: Israel to go ahead and take it over. Realistically speaking, 868 00:47:48,320 --> 00:47:50,560 Speaker 5: I think the most likely way that this ultimately ends 869 00:47:50,920 --> 00:47:53,239 Speaker 5: is you get some sort of consortium of the more 870 00:47:53,360 --> 00:47:57,520 Speaker 5: moderate Sunni Arab states, the Saudi's and Moradis, Bahraini's, maybe 871 00:47:57,560 --> 00:47:59,360 Speaker 5: the Egyptians if they're willing to play ball, and they 872 00:47:59,440 --> 00:48:01,440 Speaker 5: kind of go in there jointly together and try to 873 00:48:01,480 --> 00:48:04,920 Speaker 5: make sure that Islamism and jihadism will not be the 874 00:48:05,000 --> 00:48:07,880 Speaker 5: way forward there. But that's going to entail some sort 875 00:48:08,080 --> 00:48:10,960 Speaker 5: of American Israeli or some sort of joint presence there 876 00:48:11,080 --> 00:48:15,160 Speaker 5: even with that, because frankly, even these guys, the more 877 00:48:15,239 --> 00:48:17,680 Speaker 5: moderate forces, I'm not sure just how much we can 878 00:48:17,719 --> 00:48:19,720 Speaker 5: trust them for the mintal long term Josh. 879 00:48:19,880 --> 00:48:22,400 Speaker 2: For people who don't know, I was over in Israel 880 00:48:22,680 --> 00:48:27,120 Speaker 2: in December, the amount of Immen's popularity for Trump in 881 00:48:27,320 --> 00:48:30,160 Speaker 2: Israel is off the charts. In fact, Trump, if they 882 00:48:30,560 --> 00:48:33,400 Speaker 2: Israel had had a vote in the American presidential election, 883 00:48:34,000 --> 00:48:37,400 Speaker 2: would have won like he did in West Virginia or Wyoming. 884 00:48:38,239 --> 00:48:41,279 Speaker 2: What do you think Israelis believe when they see that 885 00:48:41,400 --> 00:48:44,799 Speaker 2: Trump is being attacked by Democrats here as Hitler. 886 00:48:46,840 --> 00:48:49,439 Speaker 5: Well, Clay, I'll tell you exactly what Israelis believed, because 887 00:48:49,480 --> 00:48:51,399 Speaker 5: I happened to be married to one, and I happen 888 00:48:51,480 --> 00:48:53,879 Speaker 5: to have in laws here in Florida where I live. 889 00:48:54,120 --> 00:48:54,640 Speaker 1: Who are them? 890 00:48:54,920 --> 00:48:59,279 Speaker 5: And I taught them every day. The Israeli people are 891 00:48:59,480 --> 00:49:02,799 Speaker 5: about the Trumpiest people in the basically the entire world. 892 00:49:02,840 --> 00:49:04,839 Speaker 5: I'm not sure if there's a single foreign country where 893 00:49:04,920 --> 00:49:06,880 Speaker 5: Trump has a higher approval rating than the state of 894 00:49:07,000 --> 00:49:09,480 Speaker 5: Israel for a very clear and compelling reason, which is 895 00:49:09,520 --> 00:49:11,799 Speaker 5: that Donald Trump is the most pro Israel. Frankly, he's 896 00:49:11,840 --> 00:49:16,040 Speaker 5: the most pro Jewish president in American history there. And 897 00:49:16,160 --> 00:49:18,719 Speaker 5: you know, this is something of an issue that I 898 00:49:18,760 --> 00:49:20,879 Speaker 5: think a lot of people here, even on the Rights 899 00:49:21,280 --> 00:49:24,839 Speaker 5: don't fully understand, is how can American Jews vote disproportionately 900 00:49:24,920 --> 00:49:28,200 Speaker 5: so much for the Democratic Party while Israeli Jews are 901 00:49:28,760 --> 00:49:31,759 Speaker 5: so supportive of the Republican person in this case, that 902 00:49:32,200 --> 00:49:34,279 Speaker 5: would be Donald Trump. I actually talked about that quite 903 00:49:34,280 --> 00:49:36,239 Speaker 5: a bit in the book Israel and Civilization, and it's 904 00:49:36,280 --> 00:49:39,239 Speaker 5: maybe a longer and more complicated conversation there. But the 905 00:49:39,320 --> 00:49:42,200 Speaker 5: Israeli people in general are emphatically pro Trump. They even 906 00:49:42,280 --> 00:49:44,600 Speaker 5: named the town after him. Clad there's literally a town 907 00:49:44,640 --> 00:49:48,279 Speaker 5: in the Goal On Heights called Trump Heights, Ramat Trump 908 00:49:48,320 --> 00:49:50,759 Speaker 5: would be the Hebrew word. I know it because I've 909 00:49:50,800 --> 00:49:53,040 Speaker 5: been there. I actually drove by, got out of the car, 910 00:49:53,160 --> 00:49:54,640 Speaker 5: took a selfie on the side of the road there 911 00:49:54,640 --> 00:49:56,200 Speaker 5: with the road sign ramat Trump. 912 00:49:56,840 --> 00:49:58,080 Speaker 1: So they're all in. 913 00:49:58,200 --> 00:50:01,000 Speaker 5: They're all in for President Trump there, and as they 914 00:50:01,040 --> 00:50:03,080 Speaker 5: should because Donal Trump is deeply supportive of the state 915 00:50:03,120 --> 00:50:03,520 Speaker 5: of Israel. 916 00:50:03,920 --> 00:50:05,919 Speaker 1: All right, let's talk about the book Josh out today, 917 00:50:05,960 --> 00:50:08,800 Speaker 1: Israel and Civilization, The Fate of the Jewish Nation and 918 00:50:08,920 --> 00:50:11,200 Speaker 1: the Destiny of the West by Josh Hammer. What do 919 00:50:11,280 --> 00:50:12,920 Speaker 1: people need to know and why should they pick up 920 00:50:12,920 --> 00:50:13,319 Speaker 1: their copy? 921 00:50:15,440 --> 00:50:19,799 Speaker 5: So, Buck, the book Israel and Civilization, both fortunately and unfortunately, 922 00:50:19,840 --> 00:50:22,240 Speaker 5: I think could not possibly be timelyer. I'm a little biased, 923 00:50:22,280 --> 00:50:24,800 Speaker 5: but I happen to think that that it is very timely. 924 00:50:25,040 --> 00:50:28,160 Speaker 5: On the one hand, Buck, you have the woke left, 925 00:50:28,160 --> 00:50:32,040 Speaker 5: which is obviously a horrific, cancerous actor. But there is 926 00:50:32,080 --> 00:50:36,320 Speaker 5: an increasing portion even of people on the nominal rights, 927 00:50:36,440 --> 00:50:39,400 Speaker 5: not a loud portion, but there are some people that 928 00:50:39,640 --> 00:50:42,480 Speaker 5: are really calling for the US to abandon Israel. And frankly, 929 00:50:42,520 --> 00:50:44,359 Speaker 5: I think deep down on these people's hearts, what they 930 00:50:44,400 --> 00:50:47,480 Speaker 5: really want to do is ultimately to convince American Christians 931 00:50:47,719 --> 00:50:49,840 Speaker 5: to just leave the Jewish shade and leave the Jewish 932 00:50:49,880 --> 00:50:52,279 Speaker 5: people behind. So I took upon myself to write this 933 00:50:52,360 --> 00:50:55,640 Speaker 5: book basically calling for Jews and Christians alike to lock 934 00:50:55,800 --> 00:50:58,160 Speaker 5: arms and stand shoulder to shoulder like never before, and 935 00:50:58,280 --> 00:51:01,680 Speaker 5: to fall in love with the biblical inheritance again, because 936 00:51:01,719 --> 00:51:05,360 Speaker 5: it actually is that ecumenical biblical inheritance that frankly founded 937 00:51:05,400 --> 00:51:08,760 Speaker 5: this country, going back in seventeen seventy six, Thomas Jefferson, 938 00:51:08,800 --> 00:51:11,680 Speaker 5: Benjamin Franklin, they wanted the National Seal of the United 939 00:51:11,719 --> 00:51:14,640 Speaker 5: States to be Moses partying in the Red Sea. Abraham Lincoln, 940 00:51:14,719 --> 00:51:18,080 Speaker 5: my own favorite figure in American history, described famously Americans 941 00:51:18,120 --> 00:51:21,400 Speaker 5: as an almost chosen people, using that covenantal language from 942 00:51:21,440 --> 00:51:24,200 Speaker 5: the Hebrew Bible. The Liberty Bell in Philadelphia literally has 943 00:51:24,400 --> 00:51:27,440 Speaker 5: a scriptural quote from the Book of Leviticus right on 944 00:51:27,560 --> 00:51:29,520 Speaker 5: the outside of it there. So the book is kind 945 00:51:29,560 --> 00:51:32,759 Speaker 5: of painstakingly arguing that's so much what we take for 946 00:51:32,880 --> 00:51:36,160 Speaker 5: granted today when it comes to our law, politics, morals, ethics, 947 00:51:36,200 --> 00:51:38,800 Speaker 5: and so forth, really does go back to Scripture and 948 00:51:38,880 --> 00:51:40,960 Speaker 5: that we cannot abandon that. But the book is also 949 00:51:41,040 --> 00:51:44,600 Speaker 5: relevant buff because I make a very clear maga America 950 00:51:44,719 --> 00:51:48,600 Speaker 5: first hard headed realist case for US Israel relations and 951 00:51:48,760 --> 00:51:51,440 Speaker 5: the importance of US Israel ties. You have a lot 952 00:51:51,480 --> 00:51:53,839 Speaker 5: of people that are screaming, oh, the Israel issue. Oh, 953 00:51:53,880 --> 00:51:56,239 Speaker 5: it's an old neo con neo conservative issue. It's an 954 00:51:56,280 --> 00:52:00,360 Speaker 5: old Bush administration, Dick Cheney, Don Rumsfeld issue. Sorry, but 955 00:52:00,400 --> 00:52:02,720 Speaker 5: the answer is no, that's not what it is. Donald 956 00:52:02,760 --> 00:52:04,680 Speaker 5: Trump is not a neo conservetive. He is a foreign 957 00:52:04,719 --> 00:52:07,040 Speaker 5: policy realist, and he's the most pro Israel president in 958 00:52:07,080 --> 00:52:11,280 Speaker 5: American history. There if you want to focus disproportionately on China, 959 00:52:11,440 --> 00:52:13,920 Speaker 5: which I think America needs to do, because again I'm 960 00:52:13,920 --> 00:52:16,440 Speaker 5: a realist who believes in limited resources, the question is 961 00:52:16,480 --> 00:52:18,839 Speaker 5: how do you secure American interest in the Middle East 962 00:52:19,080 --> 00:52:23,080 Speaker 5: while allowing you to extra kate resources to the Indo Pacific. 963 00:52:23,280 --> 00:52:26,520 Speaker 5: And the obvious answer, which Trump and BB got to 964 00:52:26,640 --> 00:52:29,279 Speaker 5: in the Abrahamic Cords, is to empower and embolden our 965 00:52:29,320 --> 00:52:31,520 Speaker 5: allies in the region to secure that region in a 966 00:52:31,560 --> 00:52:33,520 Speaker 5: way there were downs to all of our interests. So 967 00:52:34,040 --> 00:52:37,480 Speaker 5: I think that this explicitly realist case for Us' relations 968 00:52:37,560 --> 00:52:39,719 Speaker 5: is very timely and very important. But it's all in 969 00:52:39,800 --> 00:52:42,160 Speaker 5: there Israel and civilization, the fate of the Jewish Nation 970 00:52:42,280 --> 00:52:44,520 Speaker 5: and the Destiny of the West Amazon, Barnes and Noble, 971 00:52:44,600 --> 00:52:45,239 Speaker 5: wherever you get your. 972 00:52:45,200 --> 00:52:49,520 Speaker 2: Books, Josha, when you look at the history and I 973 00:52:49,719 --> 00:52:51,279 Speaker 2: got your book and I was looking through it, and 974 00:52:51,360 --> 00:52:53,880 Speaker 2: I was fascinated because again, I just came back from Israel. 975 00:52:54,320 --> 00:52:57,880 Speaker 2: How optimistic are you about peace in the Middle East? 976 00:52:58,000 --> 00:53:02,239 Speaker 2: Because for thousands of years it hasn't happened. Are you 977 00:53:02,360 --> 00:53:04,680 Speaker 2: optimistic that in the lifetime of the people that are 978 00:53:04,719 --> 00:53:07,200 Speaker 2: listening to us right now, we could have some form 979 00:53:07,280 --> 00:53:08,359 Speaker 2: of peace in the Middle East? 980 00:53:09,280 --> 00:53:11,360 Speaker 5: Yes, and no, I think that there that there is 981 00:53:11,440 --> 00:53:15,240 Speaker 5: such a thing as a as a more tranquil regions, 982 00:53:15,280 --> 00:53:17,759 Speaker 5: as a more peaceful region that is less prone to 983 00:53:17,920 --> 00:53:21,799 Speaker 5: violent eruptions of jihadism. Frankly, Clay, that's ultimately going to take. 984 00:53:22,200 --> 00:53:24,000 Speaker 5: It's going to have to take the Iranian regime to go, 985 00:53:24,080 --> 00:53:26,800 Speaker 5: because the Irani regime currently is is the head of 986 00:53:26,840 --> 00:53:29,759 Speaker 5: the sink. They are the source of virtually all of 987 00:53:29,840 --> 00:53:32,160 Speaker 5: the violent jihad that that goes across the Middle East. Now, 988 00:53:32,239 --> 00:53:34,279 Speaker 5: to be clear, I'm not saying that America needs to 989 00:53:34,360 --> 00:53:37,360 Speaker 5: go and start toppling the Ayatola. That's not my stance, 990 00:53:37,600 --> 00:53:40,200 Speaker 5: but somewhere, some way or another, whether it comes from 991 00:53:40,320 --> 00:53:44,080 Speaker 5: sanctions or the or the Mike Pompeo esque maximum pressure campaign, 992 00:53:44,360 --> 00:53:46,600 Speaker 5: that regime is going to have to go. So at 993 00:53:46,680 --> 00:53:50,080 Speaker 5: some point, God willing in a post Islamic republic Aroan 994 00:53:50,200 --> 00:53:53,239 Speaker 5: there where jihad is on the decline, then yes, I 995 00:53:53,280 --> 00:53:55,600 Speaker 5: think the Middle East could be a lot more stable 996 00:53:55,640 --> 00:53:56,280 Speaker 5: than it is today. 997 00:53:56,320 --> 00:53:57,000 Speaker 1: Has Blah, the. 998 00:53:57,040 --> 00:53:59,800 Speaker 5: Hoofis Hamas, all these forces would be subdued, if not 999 00:54:00,040 --> 00:54:03,239 Speaker 5: made completely extinct without their major benefactor in Tehran. On 1000 00:54:03,320 --> 00:54:06,720 Speaker 5: the other hand, you still do have the issue of Islam, 1001 00:54:06,920 --> 00:54:10,040 Speaker 5: and there are very real questions I think are worth 1002 00:54:10,160 --> 00:54:13,160 Speaker 5: asking and exploring as to the extent to which Islam 1003 00:54:13,239 --> 00:54:16,279 Speaker 5: will ever itself, even any more moderate form, ever be 1004 00:54:16,400 --> 00:54:20,200 Speaker 5: comfortable fully with a Jewish state there in the heart 1005 00:54:20,280 --> 00:54:22,120 Speaker 5: of the Middle East. And I don't really fully know 1006 00:54:22,280 --> 00:54:24,919 Speaker 5: the answer to that, but I do think that after 1007 00:54:25,000 --> 00:54:27,080 Speaker 5: Iran goes and God willing going to be at some 1008 00:54:27,200 --> 00:54:29,120 Speaker 5: points again, not that the US has to topple them, 1009 00:54:29,120 --> 00:54:30,480 Speaker 5: but at some point that regime is going to have 1010 00:54:30,560 --> 00:54:32,560 Speaker 5: to go at some point, Clay, after that, I think 1011 00:54:32,600 --> 00:54:34,680 Speaker 5: things will definitely be better, if not fully solved. 1012 00:54:35,680 --> 00:54:38,160 Speaker 1: Israel and civilization the Fate of the Jewish Nation and 1013 00:54:38,200 --> 00:54:40,760 Speaker 1: the Destiny of the West.

Many people will use 1017 00:54:50,239 --> 00:54:52,680 Speaker 1: the word disruption to describe the beginning of twenty twenty five. 1018 00:54:52,760 --> 00:54:55,600 Speaker 1: It's appropriate. We elected a president to disrupt the deep state, 1019 00:54:55,760 --> 00:54:58,560 Speaker 1: to remove roadblocks and reduce the size of government.
