We like to do this, make the final case. 12 00:00:40,120 --> 00:00:43,240 Speaker 1: There's a bunch of good folks, bunch of good candidates 13 00:00:43,440 --> 00:00:45,559 Speaker 1: in some of these primary races, and so we just 14 00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:47,360 Speaker 1: want to let you hear from them. We have a 15 00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:49,839 Speaker 1: lot of people listening all across New York State and 16 00:00:49,880 --> 00:00:52,720 Speaker 1: certainly here in the New York City area on wo 17 00:00:53,159 --> 00:00:56,400 Speaker 1: R so wanted to let you hear from them before 18 00:00:56,480 --> 00:00:59,200 Speaker 1: you're going out there to going out there to vote. Now, 19 00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:04,639 Speaker 1: we also have some interesting indicators. I'm not saying Clay 20 00:01:04,840 --> 00:01:07,160 Speaker 1: is well actually no, I do call him the Nashville 21 00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:10,880 Speaker 1: Notes for Damas, but it's gonna say, you know, is 22 00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:14,000 Speaker 1: someone listening maybe, or is someone thinking that they're gonna 23 00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:19,479 Speaker 1: follow some of Clay's political inclinations, because yesterday we talk 24 00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:22,960 Speaker 1: about is Gavin Newsom starting to sniff around a little bit, 25 00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:28,160 Speaker 1: and then later on we see that Gavin Newsom is 26 00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:32,559 Speaker 1: placing advise the governor California in some places that doesn't 27 00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:34,880 Speaker 1: seem like what you'd do if you were really just 28 00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:38,720 Speaker 1: all focused in on just being the governor California. Clay 29 00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:40,960 Speaker 1: will lead us into that one later on. Good call, sir, 30 00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:44,400 Speaker 1: Good call is always are so good, good thinking. And 31 00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:49,520 Speaker 1: then there's also the possibilities of Republican pickups in places 32 00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:54,600 Speaker 1: like Washington State, Colorado. Alarm bells are ringing for the Democrats. 33 00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:57,160 Speaker 1: We'll dive into all that politics. We've got some great 34 00:01:57,160 --> 00:02:00,160 Speaker 1: guests running. Oh and well, this will tie in what 35 00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:03,320 Speaker 1: we're about to discuss. The Governor of Texas, Greg Abbott, 36 00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:06,360 Speaker 1: will be with us at the top of the next hour, 37 00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:10,200 Speaker 1: and there's a lot obviously to discuss with the governor, 38 00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:14,840 Speaker 1: but we'll dive into all the politics going on, but 39 00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:19,840 Speaker 1: also the security situation and the realities of our southern border, 40 00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:26,440 Speaker 1: which brings me to this absolutely heartbreaking story of fifty 41 00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:33,200 Speaker 1: migrants found dead in a tractor trailer near San Antonio, Texas. 42 00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:35,960 Speaker 1: There are others as I speak to you now, who 43 00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:41,480 Speaker 1: are I believe in very serious condition, not clear what 44 00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:43,840 Speaker 1: the outcome will be in the hospital. There are there 45 00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:47,040 Speaker 1: are children who were a part of this human trafficking 46 00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:52,440 Speaker 1: as well. And fifty dead in this tractor trailer died 47 00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:57,280 Speaker 1: from from heat and lack of lack of oxygen and 48 00:02:57,320 --> 00:03:01,600 Speaker 1: overheating inside the trailer. A horrible, horrible situation. Now the 49 00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:05,200 Speaker 1: whole country is looking to saying how can this, how 50 00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:08,519 Speaker 1: can this occur? What is happening here now? Clay, I 51 00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:12,440 Speaker 1: think it's always important that we're very We're very clear, 52 00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:14,840 Speaker 1: and very fair and very honest in these situations. We 53 00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:16,920 Speaker 1: don't do what the Democrats do, where you just you 54 00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:20,880 Speaker 1: say I don't like this person or this politician or whatever, 55 00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:23,160 Speaker 1: so I'm going to just blame everything that happens in 56 00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:26,639 Speaker 1: the world that I don't like on him. The cartels 57 00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:33,240 Speaker 1: are first and foremost responsible for this. However, the Biden 58 00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:38,520 Speaker 1: administrations continued fast and refusal to do what is necessary 59 00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:42,720 Speaker 1: to change the incentive structure for people to cross illegally 60 00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:48,320 Speaker 1: does contribute to exactly what we are seeing with all 61 00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:51,440 Speaker 1: the fentymel flooding in, all the methamphetamine flooding in, and 62 00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:55,600 Speaker 1: now this horrific tragedy of fifty dead in one incident 63 00:03:55,640 --> 00:03:59,320 Speaker 1: of human trafficking. You know, it's touching everywhere. Buck, I'm 64 00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:01,280 Speaker 1: down in Panama City Beach and I was reading the 65 00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:05,720 Speaker 1: local newspaper here and they just busted a guy who 66 00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:09,240 Speaker 1: had enough Fentonol in his home. They said to kill 67 00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:13,040 Speaker 1: every single person in Panama City Beach, that's how much 68 00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:15,920 Speaker 1: he had there. And where did that come from? It 69 00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:21,160 Speaker 1: came across our undefended effectively southern border. And when I 70 00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:26,480 Speaker 1: saw this news come out, my immediate thought was, this 71 00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:29,440 Speaker 1: is what happens when you have put in in an 72 00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:33,719 Speaker 1: incentive structure that suggests that people can get across the 73 00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:37,919 Speaker 1: border without major issues. And we see this happen all 74 00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:39,520 Speaker 1: the time. Block How long ago was it we were 75 00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:43,320 Speaker 1: talking about the brave border patrol agent who died trying 76 00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:47,640 Speaker 1: to save people crossing the river to get into Texas. 77 00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:50,640 Speaker 1: It feels like that was like a month ago. And 78 00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:55,240 Speaker 1: there are constant deaths taking place every single day. We 79 00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:59,040 Speaker 1: know that many people in Latin America and in Mexico 80 00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:02,760 Speaker 1: believe that the best route to get to America is 81 00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:05,679 Speaker 1: through the southern border, to such an extent that Ukrainians 82 00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:09,520 Speaker 1: have traveled to Mexico to be able to cross into 83 00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:12,120 Speaker 1: the United States. People are coming from all over the 84 00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:16,760 Speaker 1: world because the message is out. Joe Biden doesn't believe 85 00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:19,440 Speaker 1: there should really be any border security at all, And 86 00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:23,240 Speaker 1: the only time we ever even hear any discussion about 87 00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:26,560 Speaker 1: the border at all is when a tragedy or crisis 88 00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:30,160 Speaker 1: like this happens. It should be a moment of reflection, 89 00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:35,479 Speaker 1: a moment of acknowledgement, and a recognition that everything is 90 00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:39,479 Speaker 1: wrong among our political class. But what will happen is 91 00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:42,600 Speaker 1: there will be a short lived amount of attention on 92 00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:46,160 Speaker 1: this and then everybody will move on and the border 93 00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:49,080 Speaker 1: will cease to be an issue like it generally is 94 00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:52,560 Speaker 1: we care more. You hit this like six months ago, 95 00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:55,400 Speaker 1: and I think it's one percent true. Our media and 96 00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:58,680 Speaker 1: our politicians care more about the border in Ukraine than 97 00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:02,240 Speaker 1: they do the border in the Units. It's absolutely true. 98 00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:04,720 Speaker 1: Governor of Texas, as he said, we'll be joining us 99 00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:06,720 Speaker 1: in the next hour, so we clearly want to ask 100 00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:11,640 Speaker 1: him about this tragedy but Texas Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick 101 00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:16,039 Speaker 1: was not holding back at all. He's furious about this situation, 102 00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:19,080 Speaker 1: and he's placing Blaine. This is more death on the 103 00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:22,400 Speaker 1: hands of the president. I can't think of anything worse 104 00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:26,960 Speaker 1: than these people in that eighteen wheel are suffocating the 105 00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:29,479 Speaker 1: heat going to one hundred and thirty degrees or more, 106 00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:33,480 Speaker 1: trying to climb out desperately, and they died. Culture of death, 107 00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:36,360 Speaker 1: whether it's fentnol that he allows to come over the 108 00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:39,320 Speaker 1: border because he has open borders that kills our teenagers, 109 00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:42,560 Speaker 1: whether it's these forty six people, and it may be 110 00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:45,680 Speaker 1: more those are in the hospital or very critical, and 111 00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:48,880 Speaker 1: the babies that we've talked about. If ever, this nation 112 00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:51,159 Speaker 1: needs to climb out of the darkness we are in 113 00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:53,480 Speaker 1: of the Biden administration. Now is the time that we 114 00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:57,080 Speaker 1: all should be on our knees and pray. Clay he's 115 00:06:57,120 --> 00:06:59,599 Speaker 1: calling out the Biden administration straight up. I mean, there 116 00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:04,640 Speaker 1: is policy blame here for what has been I think 117 00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:07,800 Speaker 1: the worst the southern border has really been in our 118 00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:10,800 Speaker 1: in certainly the last twenty or thirty years. I mean 119 00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:13,080 Speaker 1: the last twenty years, to be sure, and the Biden 120 00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:15,400 Speaker 1: administration doesn't want to stop it. I speak to people 121 00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:18,320 Speaker 1: down down along the border who are Border Patrol members, 122 00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:20,600 Speaker 1: and by the way, they're terrified to speak to them. 123 00:07:20,760 --> 00:07:23,680 Speaker 1: Not terrified, but you know they're concerned about speaking to 124 00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:26,640 Speaker 1: the media because they're not allowed to somehow, on the 125 00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:30,360 Speaker 1: Trump administration, it was, oh, you want ride alongs, you 126 00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:33,920 Speaker 1: want to see what's going on, We got you, no problem. Now, 127 00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:37,840 Speaker 1: only very specific people, very designated individuals, who are part 128 00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:40,360 Speaker 1: of the Border Patrol Union can even do anything with 129 00:07:40,400 --> 00:07:44,280 Speaker 1: the media because they don't want people to see what's 130 00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:47,960 Speaker 1: going on. They tell us that the border is not open. 131 00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:50,480 Speaker 1: But if you spend any time down there, as I 132 00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:53,120 Speaker 1: have at multiple points along the border, and just in 133 00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:55,480 Speaker 1: the last couple of the last couple of years, you 134 00:07:55,520 --> 00:07:59,320 Speaker 1: can see during the Biden administration, Clay it's wide open. 135 00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:03,160 Speaker 1: You have masses of people walking up and saying, here 136 00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:06,000 Speaker 1: I am, and they all believe they're going to be 137 00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:08,520 Speaker 1: led into the country. They all believe they're going to 138 00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:11,280 Speaker 1: be able to stay, and they say it's because of 139 00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:16,600 Speaker 1: the Biden administration. Until that belief changes, tragedies will continue. 140 00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:19,760 Speaker 1: People will drown the Rio Grande, women will be assaulted 141 00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:25,880 Speaker 1: by the coyote cartel traffickers. They'll be horrific incidents like 142 00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:27,640 Speaker 1: this where you have a lot of people dying all 143 00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:30,600 Speaker 1: at once as part of a human smuggling operation. And 144 00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:34,880 Speaker 1: our communities, because border patrol has stretched so thin all 145 00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:37,360 Speaker 1: across the country, not just along the border in Chicago 146 00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:39,840 Speaker 1: and New York and Los Angeles, you name, it will 147 00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:43,840 Speaker 1: be filled with fentatl and meth and cocaine because we 148 00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:48,840 Speaker 1: can't actually stop any considerable amount of those drugs when 149 00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:52,520 Speaker 1: we have border patrol doing the humanitarian mission, which is 150 00:08:52,559 --> 00:08:55,560 Speaker 1: all day, all the time. It wasn't very long ago 151 00:08:55,640 --> 00:08:58,840 Speaker 1: that AOC dressed in all white and went to the 152 00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:03,120 Speaker 1: border and stood for those photo ops alongside the chain 153 00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:08,040 Speaker 1: link fence with her hand outstretched crying. Where is any 154 00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:14,160 Speaker 1: Democrat associated with this border disaster? Joe Biden could easily 155 00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:16,719 Speaker 1: get on a plane and fly to the border and 156 00:09:16,840 --> 00:09:21,160 Speaker 1: guarantee that this received coverage. He won't do it, however, 157 00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:25,040 Speaker 1: because as bad as things are with inflation, and as 158 00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:28,200 Speaker 1: bad as things are with crime in this country, border 159 00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:32,480 Speaker 1: security is one thing that unites a huge majority of 160 00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:36,120 Speaker 1: the United States, and this is one that Biden has 161 00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:38,880 Speaker 1: failed on from the moment. He basically came into office, 162 00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:40,960 Speaker 1: but because he's gone downhill on a lot of things, 163 00:09:41,280 --> 00:09:43,560 Speaker 1: he's been a disaster on the border since we saw 164 00:09:43,559 --> 00:09:46,319 Speaker 1: those people wearing Biden tshirts a month after he got 165 00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:48,280 Speaker 1: into office saying he wants us to come here and 166 00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:51,040 Speaker 1: come into the country. And this is where that twenty 167 00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:54,520 Speaker 1: to thirty percent of the Democrat Party, or maybe you 168 00:09:54,559 --> 00:09:57,880 Speaker 1: could say twenty to thirty percent overall of voters, depending 169 00:09:57,880 --> 00:10:00,760 Speaker 1: on how you want to gauge it, are the same 170 00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:03,960 Speaker 1: thing you see with energy. Why doesn't the Biden administration 171 00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:07,199 Speaker 1: can't be so stupid that they don't understand why energy 172 00:10:07,280 --> 00:10:08,880 Speaker 1: prices are high and what they could do to make 173 00:10:08,880 --> 00:10:12,040 Speaker 1: it better. But they still have John Carey going around 174 00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:15,400 Speaker 1: blubbering about green you know, the Green New Deal effectively 175 00:10:15,520 --> 00:10:17,760 Speaker 1: and solar And this is a great time of transition 176 00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:23,360 Speaker 1: because a dedicated and very well funded group within the 177 00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:26,120 Speaker 1: Democrat Party, not a small group, but still I'd say 178 00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:30,760 Speaker 1: probably a minority of Democrats care more about climate change 179 00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:33,520 Speaker 1: than they do about gas prices, because even Democrats care 180 00:10:33,640 --> 00:10:36,600 Speaker 1: about gas prices, but they're held hostage by that group. 181 00:10:36,880 --> 00:10:39,920 Speaker 1: Same thing on the border, certainly true nationwide, but I 182 00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:42,280 Speaker 1: think it's even true in the Democrat Party. If you 183 00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:45,480 Speaker 1: look at it now, enough Democrats would say, I think 184 00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:47,360 Speaker 1: we got to tighten things up in the border, but 185 00:10:47,559 --> 00:10:51,679 Speaker 1: that twenty percent of the hardcore left they're open border people. 186 00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:55,240 Speaker 1: They actually want this to be wide open, and Biden 187 00:10:55,360 --> 00:10:58,040 Speaker 1: will not cross them, not going into this election, not 188 00:10:58,040 --> 00:11:02,160 Speaker 1: going into any election. I'm curious how the political calculus 189 00:11:02,240 --> 00:11:05,480 Speaker 1: changes if Hispanic voters continue to break in a big 190 00:11:05,520 --> 00:11:09,920 Speaker 1: way for Republicans, because right now, Democrats in the back 191 00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:12,960 Speaker 1: of their mind think the more Hispanic voters in the 192 00:11:13,040 --> 00:11:16,800 Speaker 1: United States, the more likely our long range ability is 193 00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:21,920 Speaker 1: to win national elections if all of a sudden, as 194 00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:25,840 Speaker 1: we are seeing, Hispanic voters are breaking in favor of Republicans, 195 00:11:26,280 --> 00:11:28,720 Speaker 1: and those Hispanic voters are also saying we need a 196 00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:32,000 Speaker 1: more secure border because Buck, as you well know, they 197 00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:36,040 Speaker 1: understand oftentimes the power of these cartels and a government 198 00:11:36,080 --> 00:11:39,640 Speaker 1: that has been controlled by a cartels state more than anyone. 199 00:11:40,240 --> 00:11:42,920 Speaker 1: And what I have been hammering home for a long 200 00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:46,079 Speaker 1: time is the people who come across our southern border 201 00:11:46,120 --> 00:11:49,360 Speaker 1: are risking their lives to get here because they believe 202 00:11:49,400 --> 00:11:53,959 Speaker 1: in American exceptionalism. So the message that Democrats are selling 203 00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:57,000 Speaker 1: to people who are trying to come to America of 204 00:11:57,040 --> 00:12:00,520 Speaker 1: America's an awful racist place, is the exact the opposite 205 00:12:00,559 --> 00:12:03,880 Speaker 1: of what everyone coming here believes. And it's why ultimately 206 00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:07,640 Speaker 1: I think Hispanics are breaking in such massive numbers. We're 207 00:12:07,679 --> 00:12:10,280 Speaker 1: seeing it of all places that the southern border in Texas. 208 00:12:10,360 --> 00:12:14,480 Speaker 1: We talked about Myra Flora as winning in the Texas 209 00:12:14,520 --> 00:12:18,560 Speaker 1: thirty four one hundred year When it's happening everywhere you see, 210 00:12:18,679 --> 00:12:22,040 Speaker 1: it was interesting. Even Bill Maher on his show said 211 00:12:22,080 --> 00:12:25,079 Speaker 1: that for Hispanics who are in this country, he says 212 00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:28,280 Speaker 1: the government should be their lawyer, not the lawyer. That 213 00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:31,520 Speaker 1: these were his words, not the lawyer for the illegals 214 00:12:31,520 --> 00:12:34,440 Speaker 1: who just came across the border yesterday. But it doesn't 215 00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:37,760 Speaker 1: feel that way. It doesn't, especially for all the members 216 00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:40,880 Speaker 1: of the Hispanic community who came here legally or the 217 00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:43,200 Speaker 1: parents came here and they were born here. And you know, 218 00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:46,959 Speaker 1: there's a real shift in perception. I'm starting to believe 219 00:12:46,960 --> 00:12:49,320 Speaker 1: though that look, Biden is not a leader. He's never been. 220 00:12:49,360 --> 00:12:50,840 Speaker 1: I know he's the president, but he's not a leader. 221 00:12:50,880 --> 00:12:55,640 Speaker 1: He follows whatever the Democrat Party trend. May be the 222 00:12:55,679 --> 00:12:59,000 Speaker 1: only way that they will actually get real on the 223 00:12:59,080 --> 00:13:01,480 Speaker 1: border and secure or even a little bit, not a lot, 224 00:13:01,520 --> 00:13:04,040 Speaker 1: even a little bit. Is if there's a total annihilation 225 00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:08,600 Speaker 1: of Democrats at the polls this midterm, and even then 226 00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:10,880 Speaker 1: it will just be this. It'll be a little bit 227 00:13:10,920 --> 00:13:14,080 Speaker 1: of a recalibration. But they're on. They're on on a 228 00:13:14,160 --> 00:13:16,480 Speaker 1: freight train with no breaks right now, my friend, they 229 00:13:16,520 --> 00:13:20,559 Speaker 1: do not care with the within the party apparatus, how 230 00:13:20,559 --> 00:13:22,920 Speaker 1: this looks, what the numbers are of people coming in 231 00:13:22,960 --> 00:13:25,440 Speaker 1: illegally every month. The only thing that changes it is 232 00:13:25,440 --> 00:13:28,960 Speaker 1: if they lose, and it's going to be a beatdown 233 00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:31,640 Speaker 1: of epic proportions, I really do believe. Is we're almost 234 00:13:31,679 --> 00:13:33,840 Speaker 1: four months out. Yeah, we got We're gonna stay focused 235 00:13:33,840 --> 00:13:36,600 Speaker 1: on it. You know. I run all of my day 236 00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:39,040 Speaker 1: to day comms for this show and obviously talking to 237 00:13:39,080 --> 00:13:41,600 Speaker 1: my family and friends through one phone. And do you 238 00:13:41,640 --> 00:13:44,120 Speaker 1: know what my provider is for that phone? Pure Talk. 239 00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:46,920 Speaker 1: I made this switch to Pure Talk. I rely on 240 00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:49,719 Speaker 1: it for my cell phone service instead of rising at 241 00:13:49,880 --> 00:13:52,320 Speaker 1: and T or T Mobile because they were charging me 242 00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:55,120 Speaker 1: one of them a big premium every month for stuff 243 00:13:55,160 --> 00:13:58,280 Speaker 1: I wasn't even using. So instead of paying I was 244 00:13:58,320 --> 00:14:00,679 Speaker 1: playing about one hundred dollars a month. Pure Talk has 245 00:14:00,679 --> 00:14:03,120 Speaker 1: a plan that I'm on now twenty dollars a month, folks, 246 00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:06,120 Speaker 1: twenty dollars a month for just the services and data 247 00:14:06,160 --> 00:14:08,840 Speaker 1: you actually need. When I made the switch to pure Talk, 248 00:14:08,880 --> 00:14:11,040 Speaker 1: I was nervous at first, thinking is it really going 249 00:14:11,080 --> 00:14:12,600 Speaker 1: to be as good as what I'm used to in 250 00:14:12,679 --> 00:14:15,120 Speaker 1: terms of five G connectivity because my phone is so 251 00:14:15,160 --> 00:14:17,439 Speaker 1: important to what I do every day. Right the answer 252 00:14:17,559 --> 00:14:20,520 Speaker 1: is yes. The five G nationwide service is every bit 253 00:14:20,640 --> 00:14:23,520 Speaker 1: is good. Honestly, it's so reliable. So if you've been 254 00:14:23,560 --> 00:14:25,600 Speaker 1: waiting for a great deal in your cell phone service 255 00:14:25,760 --> 00:14:29,760 Speaker 1: without sacrificing any quality in terms of connectivity, now is 256 00:14:29,800 --> 00:14:32,120 Speaker 1: the time switch to pure Talk. You can keep your 257 00:14:32,120 --> 00:14:34,200 Speaker 1: phone that you have in your hand right now, or 258 00:14:34,840 --> 00:14:36,920 Speaker 1: and rather keep your phone numbers so that doesn't switch 259 00:14:36,920 --> 00:14:39,440 Speaker 1: at all. The only thing that changes is the name 260 00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:41,480 Speaker 1: of the top left side of your phone screen. Mine 261 00:14:41,520 --> 00:14:44,400 Speaker 1: now says pure Talk and its service I can rely 262 00:14:44,560 --> 00:14:47,320 Speaker 1: on without being ripped off every month. Switch to pure 263 00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:49,520 Speaker 1: Talk and you'll get a month free. But you have 264 00:14:49,560 --> 00:14:52,840 Speaker 1: to dial pound two fifty and say Clay and Buck. 265 00:14:53,120 --> 00:14:56,280 Speaker 1: That's pound two five zero, say Clay and Buck. With 266 00:14:56,320 --> 00:14:58,800 Speaker 1: pure talks no risk, money back guarantee, you're not going 267 00:14:58,880 --> 00:15:01,880 Speaker 1: to regret this. Dial pound two five zero and say 268 00:15:01,960 --> 00:15:05,160 Speaker 1: Clay and Bucks sign up and get a month three. 269 00:15:06,440 --> 00:15:09,800 Speaker 1: Welcome back in Clay Travis buck Sexton show again. We're 270 00:15:09,800 --> 00:15:12,400 Speaker 1: gonna be joined by the Governor of Texas, Greg Abbott 271 00:15:12,480 --> 00:15:15,720 Speaker 1: at one. He's also scheduled Buck in addition to the 272 00:15:15,760 --> 00:15:18,600 Speaker 1: tragedy that just happened at the border with all of 273 00:15:18,640 --> 00:15:22,600 Speaker 1: the deaths inside of that truck trying to come across 274 00:15:22,640 --> 00:15:25,480 Speaker 1: smuggle people across the border, He's also going to give 275 00:15:25,560 --> 00:15:29,760 Speaker 1: us an update on Yuval Day, which has obviously been 276 00:15:30,400 --> 00:15:34,360 Speaker 1: a top topic of consideration for so many of you 277 00:15:34,480 --> 00:15:37,880 Speaker 1: out there since the school shooting happened. The governor was 278 00:15:37,920 --> 00:15:42,120 Speaker 1: initially furious at reports that he had gotten about the 279 00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:46,880 Speaker 1: actions that were undertaken by police, and it increasingly feels 280 00:15:46,960 --> 00:15:52,920 Speaker 1: Buck like the on site police commander there is going 281 00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:56,800 Speaker 1: to end up as the fall guy for what was 282 00:15:57,320 --> 00:16:02,520 Speaker 1: an indefensible response. But I'm eager was he was he responsible? Though? Right? 283 00:16:02,560 --> 00:16:04,640 Speaker 1: I mean the fall guy makes it sound like, yeah, 284 00:16:04,920 --> 00:16:08,640 Speaker 1: I think the answer. Look, the response was unacceptable. Bottom. Yes, 285 00:16:08,720 --> 00:16:10,960 Speaker 1: everyone everyone now knows this. We have the data, we 286 00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:13,960 Speaker 1: have I mean it's unacceptable. Even even people with no 287 00:16:14,080 --> 00:16:18,239 Speaker 1: law enforcement or firearms training understand. You're here in gunfire 288 00:16:18,280 --> 00:16:20,280 Speaker 1: in a classroom with kids in it who are helpless. 289 00:16:20,320 --> 00:16:23,040 Speaker 1: We're defenseless who are losing their lives. You go in. 290 00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:27,160 Speaker 1: I mean that's the toughest part to me is all 291 00:16:27,200 --> 00:16:29,400 Speaker 1: of the calls from the kids and the teachers, including 292 00:16:29,440 --> 00:16:31,760 Speaker 1: one officer they took a gun from who was trying 293 00:16:31,760 --> 00:16:33,480 Speaker 1: to go in after his wife called to said she 294 00:16:33,560 --> 00:16:36,040 Speaker 1: was shot and bleeding out. So there does need to 295 00:16:36,080 --> 00:16:38,880 Speaker 1: be accountability. I mean, this is going to go down 296 00:16:39,680 --> 00:16:45,960 Speaker 1: along with the police response to Columbine. People would talk about, uh, 297 00:16:46,280 --> 00:16:48,720 Speaker 1: the FBI response at Waco. I mean, this was a 298 00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:52,160 Speaker 1: law enforcement failure. It was now there were some people 299 00:16:52,160 --> 00:16:53,760 Speaker 1: who did the right thing, who went in the board 300 00:16:53,800 --> 00:16:57,600 Speaker 1: tag team. It's not everyone there is responsible for the 301 00:16:57,680 --> 00:17:01,440 Speaker 1: law enforcement response being insufficient, but somebody was. And it 302 00:17:01,520 --> 00:17:06,200 Speaker 1: certainly seems like because the the first law enforcement agency 303 00:17:06,200 --> 00:17:09,560 Speaker 1: on the scene was local police, they had command, even 304 00:17:09,600 --> 00:17:12,800 Speaker 1: though there were other agencies and other units that showed up. 305 00:17:13,440 --> 00:17:16,920 Speaker 1: And you know the way this works is if you're 306 00:17:16,960 --> 00:17:20,199 Speaker 1: in charge, you get the blame when things go bad, 307 00:17:20,280 --> 00:17:23,560 Speaker 1: and in this case, I think that would be that's 308 00:17:23,600 --> 00:17:25,439 Speaker 1: the right outcome. I mean, I think that you probably 309 00:17:25,440 --> 00:17:28,119 Speaker 1: should have an officer, the commanding officer on the scene 310 00:17:28,440 --> 00:17:31,520 Speaker 1: loses job. Yeah, I think that's the way all this 311 00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:33,320 Speaker 1: is trending. So we're going to get an update from 312 00:17:33,359 --> 00:17:36,040 Speaker 1: that from the governor as well as the tragedies going 313 00:17:36,040 --> 00:17:38,359 Speaker 1: on in the border. Plus we'll ask him about the 314 00:17:38,400 --> 00:17:42,919 Speaker 1: continued shenanigans and look at me behavior from Beto that 315 00:17:43,040 --> 00:17:45,880 Speaker 1: does not seem to have moved the needle very much 316 00:17:45,920 --> 00:17:49,199 Speaker 1: at all as we move closer to the election that 317 00:17:49,240 --> 00:17:52,520 Speaker 1: has taken place down in Texas.

Updates on the biggest human smuggling tragedy 340 00:19:08,080 --> 00:19:12,320 Speaker 1: in terms of loss of life I believe in ever 341 00:19:12,840 --> 00:19:16,960 Speaker 1: and then also updates on the investigation into the response 342 00:19:16,960 --> 00:19:19,280 Speaker 1: of the Uvalde shooting. So we've got to talk to 343 00:19:19,680 --> 00:19:22,080 Speaker 1: him about all of that. And then just about twenty 344 00:19:22,080 --> 00:19:24,000 Speaker 1: minutes from now, we're coming up in a little bit here, 345 00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:26,360 Speaker 1: we'll have a candidate for the governor of New York 346 00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:30,720 Speaker 1: Andrew Julie Yanni and he's a friend of mine, friend 347 00:19:30,720 --> 00:19:32,440 Speaker 1: of Clay, so he'll be joining us here to talk 348 00:19:32,480 --> 00:19:35,320 Speaker 1: about why he thinks he should get the big job 349 00:19:35,400 --> 00:19:40,200 Speaker 1: for the umpire state. Hillary Clinton is still out there though, 350 00:19:40,880 --> 00:19:43,879 Speaker 1: and you know, we're talking a little bit about Gavin 351 00:19:43,960 --> 00:19:49,040 Speaker 1: Newsom and some of his possible aspirations. The unctious, get 352 00:19:49,520 --> 00:19:53,880 Speaker 1: unctious governor of California, who he's slick. I will give 353 00:19:53,920 --> 00:19:56,399 Speaker 1: him that, but look what he's done to that state. 354 00:19:56,640 --> 00:19:59,800 Speaker 1: I can't help but remember growing up in the eighties 355 00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:03,679 Speaker 1: and nineties in this country, and California was just the 356 00:20:03,800 --> 00:20:07,560 Speaker 1: Promised Land. Everything right. California was where everybody was having 357 00:20:07,600 --> 00:20:11,119 Speaker 1: the most fun. It was all these beautiful people getting 358 00:20:11,280 --> 00:20:14,119 Speaker 1: sunshine and love and life. I wanted to learn how 359 00:20:14,160 --> 00:20:16,600 Speaker 1: to surf. Gosh, surfing looks so danger When did you 360 00:20:16,640 --> 00:20:18,480 Speaker 1: go to California the first time as a kid? Do 361 00:20:18,480 --> 00:20:21,120 Speaker 1: you remember? Oh? Man, I can't, I can't even remember. 362 00:20:21,160 --> 00:20:23,840 Speaker 1: I mean, I honestly didn't spend really time. I just 363 00:20:24,040 --> 00:20:26,000 Speaker 1: I'm just talking about what you picked up from movies 364 00:20:26,040 --> 00:20:28,719 Speaker 1: in pop culture. I really spending I'm the same as you. 365 00:20:28,800 --> 00:20:31,080 Speaker 1: I had never even been to the state of California 366 00:20:31,240 --> 00:20:34,080 Speaker 1: until I was in college. So I made the trip 367 00:20:34,080 --> 00:20:36,520 Speaker 1: out to California when I was in college, and at 368 00:20:36,560 --> 00:20:40,159 Speaker 1: that time it was the late nineties, early two thousands, 369 00:20:40,600 --> 00:20:42,680 Speaker 1: that was right as the tech boom was starting off 370 00:20:42,720 --> 00:20:46,159 Speaker 1: in the Silicon Valley. At a roommate from San Francisco. 371 00:20:46,520 --> 00:20:48,600 Speaker 1: We had incredible time out there and I was like, man, 372 00:20:48,640 --> 00:20:51,240 Speaker 1: this place is amazing. And then I worked and have 373 00:20:51,400 --> 00:20:53,560 Speaker 1: spent a lot of time in La probably the city 374 00:20:53,600 --> 00:20:56,280 Speaker 1: that I've been in the second most other than my 375 00:20:56,320 --> 00:20:59,800 Speaker 1: hometown of Nashville, and it's just so disappointing to see 376 00:20:59,840 --> 00:21:03,119 Speaker 1: it all falling apart. Yeah, it's they've destroyed the cities 377 00:21:03,160 --> 00:21:06,000 Speaker 1: in California. San Diego still doing pretty well. I've spent 378 00:21:06,040 --> 00:21:07,560 Speaker 1: a fair amount of time out there. We've got a 379 00:21:07,560 --> 00:21:11,879 Speaker 1: great audience in San Diego. But Los Angeles San Francisco 380 00:21:11,960 --> 00:21:14,640 Speaker 1: have just been driven into the ground by bad Democrat policies, 381 00:21:14,640 --> 00:21:16,720 Speaker 1: as we all know. Same thing with the New York City. 382 00:21:16,760 --> 00:21:18,800 Speaker 1: Although it feels like New York, I don't know, is 383 00:21:18,840 --> 00:21:22,760 Speaker 1: it starting to turn the corner. We'll see. But Hillary Clinton, 384 00:21:23,240 --> 00:21:25,680 Speaker 1: along with Gavin Newsum, are getting talked about these days 385 00:21:25,720 --> 00:21:30,000 Speaker 1: as a possible out of nowhere candidate if Biden doesn't run, 386 00:21:30,280 --> 00:21:32,400 Speaker 1: A lot of Democrats are going on TV to say 387 00:21:33,440 --> 00:21:36,919 Speaker 1: Biden really can't do this. Guys. Now, I thought that 388 00:21:37,040 --> 00:21:40,040 Speaker 1: was true two years ago, and they still put this 389 00:21:40,080 --> 00:21:42,040 Speaker 1: guy forward, and we all see what the results have been. 390 00:21:42,359 --> 00:21:45,120 Speaker 1: So who knows Democrats the good news? But the Democrat 391 00:21:45,160 --> 00:21:47,760 Speaker 1: Party is it has no integrity to protect as an institution, 392 00:21:47,800 --> 00:21:50,760 Speaker 1: so they'll do whatever they think will work. Hillary Clinton, 393 00:21:50,880 --> 00:21:56,200 Speaker 1: speaking of no integrity, had this to say about Clarence Thomas, 394 00:21:56,240 --> 00:22:00,320 Speaker 1: who is a national treasure and a intellectual will and 395 00:22:00,440 --> 00:22:04,600 Speaker 1: jurisprudence hero for all constitution loving Americans. I went to 396 00:22:04,640 --> 00:22:08,720 Speaker 1: law school with him. He's been a person of grievance 397 00:22:08,880 --> 00:22:12,880 Speaker 1: for as long as I've known him. Resentment, grievance, anger. 398 00:22:13,840 --> 00:22:18,640 Speaker 1: And he has signaled in the past two lower courts, 399 00:22:18,760 --> 00:22:24,439 Speaker 1: two state legislatures that fine cases, past laws, get them up. 400 00:22:24,480 --> 00:22:26,399 Speaker 1: I may not win the first, the second, or the 401 00:22:26,440 --> 00:22:29,239 Speaker 1: third time, but we're going to keep at it. So 402 00:22:29,280 --> 00:22:31,959 Speaker 1: you're saying, people pay attention to yea. So people he 403 00:22:32,080 --> 00:22:36,480 Speaker 1: is speaking to, which is the right wing, very conservative 404 00:22:36,600 --> 00:22:42,600 Speaker 1: judges and justices and state legislatures, and the thing that is, well, 405 00:22:42,600 --> 00:22:45,720 Speaker 1: there's so many things about it that are deeply distressing. 406 00:22:46,040 --> 00:22:49,600 Speaker 1: But women are going to die, Gail, women will die, 407 00:22:50,200 --> 00:22:53,040 Speaker 1: I mean less babies will die. As the whole point 408 00:22:53,080 --> 00:22:56,080 Speaker 1: of what the Supreme Court law will actually do in 409 00:22:56,119 --> 00:23:01,240 Speaker 1: the aggregate few where I should say, but Clay, she's horrible. 410 00:23:01,359 --> 00:23:04,760 Speaker 1: I mean, honestly, I don't think it's fair, first of all, 411 00:23:04,840 --> 00:23:07,680 Speaker 1: to go back it's been fifty years since they were 412 00:23:07,680 --> 00:23:13,400 Speaker 1: in law school and they weren't even in that. That 413 00:23:13,480 --> 00:23:19,960 Speaker 1: part is ridiculous. And what the takeaway Clarence Thomas is jurisprudence. 414 00:23:20,640 --> 00:23:25,600 Speaker 1: He is, I believe, the most beloved Supreme Court justice 415 00:23:25,800 --> 00:23:29,680 Speaker 1: inside of the Supreme Court almost there's ever been. He 416 00:23:29,720 --> 00:23:34,199 Speaker 1: knows every employee, even the liberal justices. I think it 417 00:23:34,280 --> 00:23:37,080 Speaker 1: was Sodo Mayor who just came out buck and said 418 00:23:37,640 --> 00:23:41,760 Speaker 1: that Clarence Thomas was an incredible guy inside of the 419 00:23:41,800 --> 00:23:46,000 Speaker 1: Supreme Court. So when you actually hear people who know 420 00:23:46,200 --> 00:23:49,639 Speaker 1: Clarence Thomas, his clerks, the people who work inside of 421 00:23:49,640 --> 00:23:52,480 Speaker 1: the Supreme Court, whether you're the janitor or whether you're 422 00:23:52,520 --> 00:23:56,120 Speaker 1: a fellow Supreme Court justice with him, he's beloved as 423 00:23:56,280 --> 00:24:00,600 Speaker 1: an unbelievably likable guy. And so going back fifty years ago, 424 00:24:00,640 --> 00:24:04,080 Speaker 1: and saying he is filled with grievance. Clarence Thomas was, 425 00:24:04,160 --> 00:24:08,360 Speaker 1: by the way, not even a conservative for much of 426 00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:11,040 Speaker 1: his college years. It wasn't until I believe he got 427 00:24:11,080 --> 00:24:14,080 Speaker 1: into law school that he really started to develop his 428 00:24:14,119 --> 00:24:19,440 Speaker 1: own philosophy on judicial processes. And so this is all 429 00:24:19,480 --> 00:24:23,680 Speaker 1: just it's trumped up bs from Hillary Clinton, who does 430 00:24:23,760 --> 00:24:26,960 Speaker 1: feel like buck to me. She's angling to be back 431 00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:29,720 Speaker 1: in the discussion in a big way as Biden becomes 432 00:24:29,720 --> 00:24:34,360 Speaker 1: increasingly incompetent. It's also just so dishonest the way they 433 00:24:34,440 --> 00:24:37,639 Speaker 1: discount I mean, Clarence Thomas's personal story for anybody who 434 00:24:37,640 --> 00:24:41,320 Speaker 1: doesn't know if you want to talk about someone who 435 00:24:41,440 --> 00:24:48,760 Speaker 1: overcame hurdles, real hurdles and poverty and disadvantages early on 436 00:24:48,920 --> 00:24:52,879 Speaker 1: in life to become a giant of the Supreme Court 437 00:24:52,960 --> 00:24:56,119 Speaker 1: and of American jurisprudence. Clarence Thomas, as far as Ederson, 438 00:24:56,200 --> 00:24:59,200 Speaker 1: he grew up in a house with dirt floors. He 439 00:24:59,240 --> 00:25:03,280 Speaker 1: grew up seeking a kind of a local dialect in 440 00:25:03,320 --> 00:25:06,600 Speaker 1: a community near Savannah that I forget the name of it, 441 00:25:06,640 --> 00:25:09,919 Speaker 1: but it was known to be founded by former, you know, 442 00:25:10,240 --> 00:25:14,720 Speaker 1: freed slaves after the Civil War and came from tremendous poverty. 443 00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:18,920 Speaker 1: You know, he wasn't. He wasn't the son of university 444 00:25:19,040 --> 00:25:23,720 Speaker 1: professors who raised him in Palo Alto or Cambridge, Massachusetts. 445 00:25:23,960 --> 00:25:26,240 Speaker 1: He's a guy who did it all on his own, 446 00:25:26,720 --> 00:25:31,120 Speaker 1: built it all, and is honestly I mean, his pen 447 00:25:31,200 --> 00:25:34,480 Speaker 1: I think is the mightiest along with Alito, of any 448 00:25:34,480 --> 00:25:38,520 Speaker 1: of the justices. He's getting attacked. It seems to me 449 00:25:39,040 --> 00:25:42,919 Speaker 1: there were five justices in the majority. He's getting attacked 450 00:25:43,280 --> 00:25:45,920 Speaker 1: on a different level, and he has been for much 451 00:25:45,920 --> 00:25:50,720 Speaker 1: of his career because the message needs to be sent 452 00:25:50,840 --> 00:25:56,040 Speaker 1: from Democrats. You can't be black and be conservative. That's 453 00:25:56,040 --> 00:25:57,960 Speaker 1: the message that they tried to. Look I mean the 454 00:25:58,000 --> 00:26:01,720 Speaker 1: attacks that come out. You heard Lorie life It yesterday 455 00:26:01,920 --> 00:26:05,000 Speaker 1: saying f Clarence Thomas what Joe Biden said when he 456 00:26:05,000 --> 00:26:08,000 Speaker 1: was running, which was which was absurd. Yes, you just 457 00:26:08,119 --> 00:26:14,679 Speaker 1: heard Hillary. These Democrats are aware that their entire political 458 00:26:14,760 --> 00:26:18,960 Speaker 1: party collapses if twenty five percent of black voters ever 459 00:26:19,080 --> 00:26:22,479 Speaker 1: voted Republican, or voted libertarian or voted Green Party just 460 00:26:22,560 --> 00:26:28,159 Speaker 1: weren't voting Democrat. And so anyone who threatens that political 461 00:26:28,280 --> 00:26:32,240 Speaker 1: power gets attacked in a much more noxious fashion than 462 00:26:32,280 --> 00:26:34,399 Speaker 1: anyone else. And that's certainly what we're seeing happen in 463 00:26:34,440 --> 00:26:36,880 Speaker 1: Clarence Thomas right now. We gotta endew Giuliani up next, 464 00:26:36,880 --> 00:26:40,320 Speaker 1: stick around for us. He's running for governor of New York. Folks, 465 00:26:40,320 --> 00:26:41,919 Speaker 1: Thanks to people like you, the tune of the Towers 466 00:26:41,960 --> 00:26:44,600 Speaker 1: Foundation delivers on its promise to do good and never 467 00:26:44,640 --> 00:26:49,520 Speaker 1: forget the sacrifices of America's greatest heroes. Heroes like Officer Familia, 468 00:26:49,560 --> 00:26:52,639 Speaker 1: who couldn't wait to join the NYPD to protect her community. 469 00:26:52,840 --> 00:26:55,879 Speaker 1: She proudly wore the uniform, but was ambushed and shot 470 00:26:55,880 --> 00:26:58,639 Speaker 1: in line of duty because of wearing that uniform and 471 00:26:58,720 --> 00:27:02,040 Speaker 1: serving her community. She survived by three children, including a 472 00:27:02,119 --> 00:27:04,520 Speaker 1: daughter who's twenty years old and has now become the 473 00:27:04,560 --> 00:27:07,680 Speaker 1: sole guardian of her two younger twin siblings. Think about 474 00:27:07,720 --> 00:27:10,040 Speaker 1: that she went from big sister to provide her in 475 00:27:10,080 --> 00:27:12,800 Speaker 1: an instant, all while dealing with the immense grief of 476 00:27:12,840 --> 00:27:15,840 Speaker 1: having lost her mother.

We're joined now by Andrew Giuliani, who is 491 00:28:01,160 --> 00:28:05,960 Speaker 1: running for the Republican nomination in the state of New York.

I think voters are going to 498 00:28:23,240 --> 00:28:25,399 Speaker 1: turn out and say they want Andrew Giuliani to be 499 00:28:25,400 --> 00:28:28,560 Speaker 1: their Republican nominee. Everything we're seeing though is tight in 500 00:28:28,640 --> 00:28:31,960 Speaker 1: all this. All the public polling release, our private internals 501 00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:34,440 Speaker 1: have us up four points right now, but everything is 502 00:28:34,480 --> 00:28:36,960 Speaker 1: within the margin of error. So we're telling people to 503 00:28:36,960 --> 00:28:39,360 Speaker 1: come on out and make sure they vote today. It 504 00:28:39,360 --> 00:28:41,600 Speaker 1: doesn't matter as long as they come out by nine pm. 505 00:28:41,840 --> 00:28:43,680 Speaker 1: Got to come out and cash your vote. Andrew, you 506 00:28:43,680 --> 00:28:46,800 Speaker 1: and I go back decades, and obviously anyone from New 507 00:28:46,880 --> 00:28:50,880 Speaker 1: York City from the nineties feels like they have a 508 00:28:50,960 --> 00:28:53,520 Speaker 1: debt of gratitude to the Giuliani name for cleaning up 509 00:28:53,560 --> 00:28:56,240 Speaker 1: the city. Why are you ready for this, my friend? 510 00:28:56,360 --> 00:28:58,040 Speaker 1: Why are you ready to be governor of New York. 511 00:28:59,160 --> 00:29:02,920 Speaker 1: So I've been thirty three years looking at this, watching 512 00:29:03,240 --> 00:29:06,720 Speaker 1: how New York City can be transformed from the rotting 513 00:29:06,720 --> 00:29:10,000 Speaker 1: apple as was described by Time magazine in the early nineties, 514 00:29:10,360 --> 00:29:13,040 Speaker 1: where you had over two thousand murders a year consistently, 515 00:29:13,360 --> 00:29:16,880 Speaker 1: to the safest large city in America. Now, unfortunately, we're 516 00:29:16,920 --> 00:29:20,200 Speaker 1: going back in the wrong direction because of policies like 517 00:29:20,400 --> 00:29:23,760 Speaker 1: bail reform, because we have DA's like Alvin Bragg and 518 00:29:23,840 --> 00:29:27,120 Speaker 1: like Gonzalez who are Soros funded that choose not to 519 00:29:27,160 --> 00:29:29,640 Speaker 1: execute their oath of office. Think of the message that 520 00:29:29,720 --> 00:29:32,680 Speaker 1: sends to our police officers when you say we are 521 00:29:32,720 --> 00:29:36,880 Speaker 1: not going to prosecute resisting arrests. We now more than 522 00:29:36,880 --> 00:29:40,000 Speaker 1: ever need to curb this outflow of migration from New 523 00:29:40,120 --> 00:29:43,520 Speaker 1: York to places like Florida. That means making sure we 524 00:29:43,640 --> 00:29:46,080 Speaker 1: end this war on our police. That means making sure 525 00:29:46,120 --> 00:29:48,959 Speaker 1: that we're not the highest tax state in the country anymore, 526 00:29:48,960 --> 00:29:51,520 Speaker 1: and most overregulated state in the country. And it also 527 00:29:51,600 --> 00:29:54,200 Speaker 1: means making sure that we're fighting for our kids and 528 00:29:54,240 --> 00:29:57,680 Speaker 1: our parents' rights to be their primary stakeholder in our 529 00:29:57,760 --> 00:30:00,280 Speaker 1: kids education. That's what I will do in Albany on 530 00:30:00,440 --> 00:30:04,760 Speaker 1: day one. Buck Andrew, You've got a really big challenge 531 00:30:04,760 --> 00:30:08,640 Speaker 1: in New York with so many people relocating outside of 532 00:30:08,640 --> 00:30:10,760 Speaker 1: the state. You kind of hinted at that based on 533 00:30:10,800 --> 00:30:12,840 Speaker 1: the tax rates that are going on there. I think 534 00:30:12,840 --> 00:30:16,760 Speaker 1: also security factors in how do you get people leaving 535 00:30:16,800 --> 00:30:20,000 Speaker 1: New York to be willing to come back, especially because 536 00:30:20,040 --> 00:30:22,600 Speaker 1: many of the people leaving are those that would owe 537 00:30:22,600 --> 00:30:26,200 Speaker 1: the most taxes and they're going to frankly far freer 538 00:30:26,280 --> 00:30:30,120 Speaker 1: and more affordable states. Well, and Clay, I know you 539 00:30:30,160 --> 00:30:32,440 Speaker 1: and I have talked about this as a few years ago. 540 00:30:32,480 --> 00:30:34,520 Speaker 1: You move from a blue state to a red state, 541 00:30:34,840 --> 00:30:36,800 Speaker 1: a state that actually looks at their budget. I mean, 542 00:30:36,840 --> 00:30:39,600 Speaker 1: think about this. New York's budget is two hundred and 543 00:30:39,600 --> 00:30:42,880 Speaker 1: twenty billion dollars. To compare it to Florida that has 544 00:30:42,960 --> 00:30:46,960 Speaker 1: one million more people. Florida's budget is ninety eight billion dollars. 545 00:30:46,960 --> 00:30:50,200 Speaker 1: That means they're spending five thousand dollars per person in 546 00:30:50,320 --> 00:30:53,320 Speaker 1: Florida versus over eleven thousand in New York. We are 547 00:30:53,360 --> 00:30:56,600 Speaker 1: just not efficient at all in New York, and unfortunately, 548 00:30:56,800 --> 00:30:58,920 Speaker 1: it just continues to go up and up and up. 549 00:30:59,000 --> 00:31:01,400 Speaker 1: So obviously, the first thing is making sure you can 550 00:31:01,440 --> 00:31:04,280 Speaker 1: reduce crime, because people first and foremost want to feel 551 00:31:04,320 --> 00:31:07,120 Speaker 1: safe for their family. But then secondly, right after that, 552 00:31:07,160 --> 00:31:08,760 Speaker 1: you have to look at the cost of living and 553 00:31:08,840 --> 00:31:11,160 Speaker 1: the fact that we are now paying five dollars a 554 00:31:11,160 --> 00:31:14,760 Speaker 1: gallon gas. It's gonna hurt those Northeast states far more 555 00:31:14,760 --> 00:31:17,440 Speaker 1: than the Sunbelt states because you have some New Yorkers 556 00:31:17,480 --> 00:31:20,080 Speaker 1: that are looking at the approaching winner in a couple 557 00:31:20,080 --> 00:31:22,280 Speaker 1: of months here and thinking, am I going to have 558 00:31:22,320 --> 00:31:24,680 Speaker 1: the money to heat my home or actually go to 559 00:31:24,720 --> 00:31:27,120 Speaker 1: the grocery store. That's going to chase more and more 560 00:31:27,160 --> 00:31:29,440 Speaker 1: people out. We need to make sure we're doing everything 561 00:31:29,480 --> 00:31:32,520 Speaker 1: we can from an economic standpoint, from a crime standpoint, 562 00:31:32,560 --> 00:31:36,760 Speaker 1: from an education standpoint, and also from a health freedom standpoint. 563 00:31:36,840 --> 00:31:39,080 Speaker 1: I know, Clay Buck, you guys have talked a whole 564 00:31:39,080 --> 00:31:41,400 Speaker 1: lot about this, but the fact that we still have 565 00:31:41,480 --> 00:31:43,840 Speaker 1: mandates in place in the state of New York, and 566 00:31:43,920 --> 00:31:46,840 Speaker 1: we have great New York heroes like our firefighters and 567 00:31:46,880 --> 00:31:49,080 Speaker 1: our nurses that lost their job because they made a 568 00:31:49,120 --> 00:31:53,440 Speaker 1: health decision is unconscionable. And these health decisions, these health 569 00:31:53,480 --> 00:31:56,760 Speaker 1: mandates will go in the Ashman of history. On day 570 00:31:56,760 --> 00:32:03,160 Speaker 1: one of a Giuliani administration handidate for the governor's mansion 571 00:32:03,280 --> 00:32:06,800 Speaker 1: here in New York State, and it is primary day 572 00:32:06,800 --> 00:32:10,200 Speaker 1: in New York State, so obviously people are going out 573 00:32:10,280 --> 00:32:14,040 Speaker 1: right now casting their votes without in mind, Andrew, how 574 00:32:14,040 --> 00:32:18,200 Speaker 1: do you stack up against the current governor who didn't 575 00:32:18,200 --> 00:32:20,520 Speaker 1: win an election, just kind of ended up the governor 576 00:32:21,000 --> 00:32:26,520 Speaker 1: Kathy Hokel. Does she still have her vaccine necklace off? Yeah? 577 00:32:26,560 --> 00:32:28,360 Speaker 1: You know, that's one of the other things. I will 578 00:32:28,400 --> 00:32:31,239 Speaker 1: never actually go into a church and ask people to 579 00:32:31,240 --> 00:32:34,360 Speaker 1: be my apostles. What kind of a deed complex does 580 00:32:34,360 --> 00:32:36,520 Speaker 1: she have? I think she does still wear that VAXX 581 00:32:36,640 --> 00:32:38,880 Speaker 1: necklace at times. I don't know. I'm sure at some 582 00:32:38,960 --> 00:32:41,240 Speaker 1: point they'll say that she needs to take it off, 583 00:32:41,400 --> 00:32:43,600 Speaker 1: and she'll listen to her consultants. I mean, one of 584 00:32:43,600 --> 00:32:46,640 Speaker 1: the things, guys, I really thought that it wasn't possible 585 00:32:46,920 --> 00:32:49,400 Speaker 1: for her to be as corrupt as Andrew Cuomo. But 586 00:32:49,480 --> 00:32:51,360 Speaker 1: if we gave her the time, she might get there. 587 00:32:51,400 --> 00:32:54,080 Speaker 1: You think about the first six months of her tenure. 588 00:32:54,320 --> 00:32:57,040 Speaker 1: You already have a stadium deal where her husband is 589 00:32:57,080 --> 00:32:59,800 Speaker 1: profiting off of, and then you have a lieutenant governor, 590 00:33:00,120 --> 00:33:04,280 Speaker 1: really her first major personnel pick, who gets arrested for 591 00:33:04,360 --> 00:33:08,400 Speaker 1: campaign finance fraud. So we just can't give Kathy Okel 592 00:33:08,440 --> 00:33:10,840 Speaker 1: any more time, certainly not if we're going to bring 593 00:33:10,880 --> 00:33:13,040 Speaker 1: New York State back. I think this is very simple. 594 00:33:13,320 --> 00:33:16,000 Speaker 1: Kathy Oakele does not care about the fact that crime 595 00:33:16,080 --> 00:33:18,320 Speaker 1: is going is running out of control, not just in 596 00:33:18,400 --> 00:33:21,400 Speaker 1: New York City but also in Rochester and Binghamton and 597 00:33:21,400 --> 00:33:24,080 Speaker 1: Buffalo where they had murder rate highs last year. We 598 00:33:24,120 --> 00:33:26,760 Speaker 1: need to make sure we are addressing the root problems 599 00:33:26,800 --> 00:33:30,120 Speaker 1: and not playing politics. Kathy Oakel, the only thing that 600 00:33:30,200 --> 00:33:33,360 Speaker 1: she has done for New York right now has played politics, 601 00:33:33,480 --> 00:33:35,440 Speaker 1: And I guess the only good thing that she's done, 602 00:33:35,440 --> 00:33:38,160 Speaker 1: which I guess it's questionable even if it's good because 603 00:33:38,160 --> 00:33:40,680 Speaker 1: she's been so bad. Is the fact that she relieved 604 00:33:40,720 --> 00:33:45,800 Speaker 1: Andrew Cuomo of his duties. Andrew, first of all, we 605 00:33:45,840 --> 00:33:47,680 Speaker 1: appreciate you given the time because we know how busy 606 00:33:47,720 --> 00:33:52,440 Speaker 1: you are here. But as you look towards the future 607 00:33:52,520 --> 00:33:55,320 Speaker 1: with COVID, we've still got kids having to wear masks. 608 00:33:55,400 --> 00:33:58,840 Speaker 1: Sometimes it feels like Democrats might bring it back. Would 609 00:33:58,880 --> 00:34:02,440 Speaker 1: you just basically this is done in New York and 610 00:34:02,520 --> 00:34:04,640 Speaker 1: how much are you hearing from people out there that 611 00:34:04,720 --> 00:34:09,879 Speaker 1: they're just over all this COVID theater. My seven month 612 00:34:09,920 --> 00:34:12,640 Speaker 1: old daughter, Grace is traveling around with me today on 613 00:34:12,680 --> 00:34:14,879 Speaker 1: the campaign trail hit and stop and stop, and she's 614 00:34:14,920 --> 00:34:17,880 Speaker 1: by far the most charming Giuliani in the family. Rudy 615 00:34:18,000 --> 00:34:20,600 Speaker 1: or myself do not compare to her. But I think 616 00:34:20,600 --> 00:34:22,720 Speaker 1: about if she was only a couple of years older, 617 00:34:23,000 --> 00:34:24,880 Speaker 1: what it would be like putting her on the school 618 00:34:24,880 --> 00:34:26,600 Speaker 1: bus knowing that she would have to be in a 619 00:34:26,680 --> 00:34:30,319 Speaker 1: mask all day, and I can't imagine it. Guys, to me, 620 00:34:30,400 --> 00:34:33,120 Speaker 1: this is crazy when you have a CDC director that 621 00:34:33,239 --> 00:34:36,520 Speaker 1: is going out there and literally saying that this vaccine 622 00:34:36,560 --> 00:34:39,920 Speaker 1: does not prevent transmission, then why is there a mandate 623 00:34:40,080 --> 00:34:43,800 Speaker 1: on this at all? This should be everybody's individual health choice. 624 00:34:43,840 --> 00:34:46,680 Speaker 1: We should absolutely not be mandating masks on kids. I 625 00:34:46,719 --> 00:34:49,160 Speaker 1: look at it, frankly as child abused, and I think 626 00:34:49,160 --> 00:34:51,520 Speaker 1: the long term effects we won't know about for a 627 00:34:51,640 --> 00:34:54,000 Speaker 1: very long time. At all this and for me, this 628 00:34:54,080 --> 00:34:57,080 Speaker 1: is very simple. All of these mandates, the mass mandates, 629 00:34:57,239 --> 00:35:01,840 Speaker 1: the vaccine mandates, they become individual health choices the day 630 00:35:01,880 --> 00:35:04,759 Speaker 1: that I take office, and all the mandates go into 631 00:35:04,800 --> 00:35:08,240 Speaker 1: trash on day one. Speaking of Andrew Giuliani, he's running 632 00:35:08,239 --> 00:35:11,640 Speaker 1: for governor and the Republican primary is today in New 633 00:35:11,719 --> 00:35:15,200 Speaker 1: York with the primary in general, Andrew, we've only got 634 00:35:15,200 --> 00:35:17,200 Speaker 1: about thirty forty second. Just want to give you the 635 00:35:17,239 --> 00:35:19,359 Speaker 1: floor to Telfa. I know there are people listening all 636 00:35:19,400 --> 00:35:21,680 Speaker 1: over New York State right now. We've got a fantastic 637 00:35:21,680 --> 00:35:24,960 Speaker 1: New York based audience. Obviously, I'm here at NYC. Your 638 00:35:25,040 --> 00:35:27,680 Speaker 1: last pitch for them, sir, Well, you got to get 639 00:35:27,680 --> 00:35:29,640 Speaker 1: out and vote. Today is the day to fulfill our 640 00:35:29,680 --> 00:35:31,920 Speaker 1: civic duty. If you want, somebody who's going to go 641 00:35:32,000 --> 00:35:33,879 Speaker 1: up to Albany and make sure that we can make 642 00:35:33,960 --> 00:35:36,960 Speaker 1: New York safe again by making sure we end this 643 00:35:37,040 --> 00:35:39,799 Speaker 1: war on our cops, who can give our parents the 644 00:35:39,880 --> 00:35:43,480 Speaker 1: choice in education that they deserve, by having tax credits, 645 00:35:43,480 --> 00:35:46,760 Speaker 1: by increasing the charter school, by truly believing our parents 646 00:35:46,760 --> 00:35:49,440 Speaker 1: are the primary stakeholders in our kids education. If you 647 00:35:49,480 --> 00:35:51,719 Speaker 1: want somebody that's going to make sure that health decisions 648 00:35:51,920 --> 00:35:54,560 Speaker 1: should be yours and yours alone, and not by a 649 00:35:54,600 --> 00:35:57,520 Speaker 1: dictatorial governor, then come on out and vote for Andrew 650 00:35:57,520 --> 00:36:00,640 Speaker 1: Giuliani today. You've got eight hours to post quote, so 651 00:36:00,760 --> 00:36:02,799 Speaker 1: come on out and both Andrew. Good luck to you, 652 00:36:02,840 --> 00:36:05,120 Speaker 1: my friend Claint. I appreciate you making the time today. 653 00:36:05,280 --> 00:36:08,160 Speaker 1: We'll talk to you soon. Clay Buck is always thank 654 00:36:08,160 --> 00:36:12,640 Speaker 1: you for having me up. Next, Texas Governor Greg Abbott 655 00:36:12,640 --> 00:36:14,560 Speaker 1: on the latest at the border as well as a 656 00:36:14,640 --> 00:36:42,000 Speaker 1: school shooting. We'll talk about it with him. Hang with us, 657 00:36:42,000 --> 00:36:46,560 Speaker 1: Clay Travis and Buck Sexton on the front lines of truth.
