1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:01,160
Speaker 1: Welcome in everybody.

2
00:00:01,280 --> 00:00:04,960
Speaker 2: Thursday edition of The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show

3
00:00:05,480 --> 00:00:09,360
Speaker 2: kicks off right now. We've got Jack Smith hearings on

4
00:00:09,440 --> 00:00:12,440
Speaker 2: Capitol Hill. Bring you some highlights of that. I'm not

5
00:00:13,240 --> 00:00:16,120
Speaker 2: expecting much to come of it, but it's causing fireworks

6
00:00:16,120 --> 00:00:19,440
Speaker 2: in our nation's capital sort of, so we will get

7
00:00:19,480 --> 00:00:22,560
Speaker 2: into it in a little bit. Trump on the Greenland deal,

8
00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:26,640
Speaker 2: very interesting stuff happening there. He's talking Golden Dome, mineral rights,

9
00:00:26,680 --> 00:00:29,960
Speaker 2: and all kinds of goodies that he believes he has

10
00:00:30,640 --> 00:00:36,080
Speaker 2: lined up for US via Greenland and Trump speaking with

11
00:00:36,159 --> 00:00:39,280
Speaker 2: Maria Bartoromo this morning. Some highlights from that. JD Vance

12
00:00:39,360 --> 00:00:43,519
Speaker 2: is in Toledo, Ohio. Gavin Newsom. We'll talk to our

13
00:00:43,560 --> 00:00:49,000
Speaker 2: friend Katie Zachariah, a California political and legal analyst, about Newsom.

14
00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:52,200
Speaker 2: He got a little bit of a wampwomp because they

15
00:00:52,479 --> 00:00:55,440
Speaker 2: canceled his DeVos speech at the last minute. He's saying

16
00:00:55,520 --> 00:00:59,680
Speaker 2: it's pressure from Trump World. We shall see more and

17
00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:04,040
Speaker 2: more on all of that in the meantime, my friends.

18
00:01:04,240 --> 00:01:07,679
Speaker 2: The big big news today coming out of Yes you

19
00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:13,520
Speaker 2: guessed It, Minneapolis, Minneapolis, Minnesota. We have the following from

20
00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:20,520
Speaker 2: Attorney General Pam Bondi this on Twitter or x minutes ago.

21
00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:26,360
Speaker 2: At my direction, FBI agents executed and arrested in Minnesota.

22
00:01:27,080 --> 00:01:32,920
Speaker 2: So far, we have arrested Nikima Levi Armstrong, who allegedly

23
00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:36,800
Speaker 2: played a key role in organizing the coordinated attack on

24
00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:41,760
Speaker 2: city's church in Saint Paul, Minnesota. We will share more

25
00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:46,240
Speaker 2: updates as they become available. Listen loud and clear all

26
00:01:46,319 --> 00:01:52,000
Speaker 2: caps now, Clay, we do not tolerate attacks on places

27
00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:57,120
Speaker 2: of worship. This, I think is what many of you

28
00:01:57,360 --> 00:02:00,559
Speaker 2: have been calling for. And this is it's a pretty

29
00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:04,080
Speaker 2: quick turnaround for DOJ, at least on this kind of

30
00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:06,360
Speaker 2: an arrest. I have to say they wanted to make

31
00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:09,480
Speaker 2: sure they get all this lined up, and this is

32
00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:11,040
Speaker 2: now I think the beginning.

33
00:02:10,760 --> 00:02:14,000
Speaker 1: Of more arrests like this.

34
00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:16,880
Speaker 2: Although Clay, now there's gonna be a lot of rewriting

35
00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:17,440
Speaker 2: of history.

36
00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:20,560
Speaker 1: It was peaceful protest. We were just hanging out in

37
00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:23,680
Speaker 1: the church. We were asking for directions. You know, it

38
00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:24,720
Speaker 1: was no big deal.

39
00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:30,960
Speaker 2: Anti ice church protester organizer Levi Armstrong was on CNN

40
00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:34,320
Speaker 2: last night. This has cut one. Here's her claim. This

41
00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:36,079
Speaker 2: is pre arrest. By the way hit it.

42
00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:38,120
Speaker 3: We did not rush into that church.

43
00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:42,000
Speaker 4: We actually went and sat down and participated in the service,

44
00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:44,200
Speaker 4: and after their pastor.

45
00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:46,799
Speaker 3: Prayed, that is when I stood up and.

46
00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:50,120
Speaker 4: Asked him a question in response to his prayer, and

47
00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:53,760
Speaker 4: then and he responded to me. And then I proceeded

48
00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:58,000
Speaker 4: to ask him about Pastor David Easterwood and how is

49
00:02:58,040 --> 00:03:00,560
Speaker 4: it possible for him to serve as both the pastor

50
00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:01,640
Speaker 4: and the.

51
00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:03,400
Speaker 3: Director of ICE from Minnesota.

52
00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:06,040
Speaker 4: And instead of responding to me, as soon as he

53
00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:09,200
Speaker 4: said the name David Easterwood, the pastor says.

54
00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:10,880
Speaker 5: Shame, shame.

55
00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:14,680
Speaker 4: And that is when I let us enchants justice for

56
00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:16,880
Speaker 4: Renee Good and he ends up, don't shoot. So I

57
00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:19,919
Speaker 4: want to clarify that we didn't Russian, we didn't bust in.

58
00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:23,799
Speaker 1: Okay Clay, Now it's the big meme.

59
00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:27,600
Speaker 2: Pastor was the one who caused the problem in his church,

60
00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:31,560
Speaker 2: by the way, trying to celebrate with his congregants and

61
00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:37,360
Speaker 2: enjoy their connection with God. These lunatics show up once again,

62
00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:40,720
Speaker 2: whether it's be Alum with the cops or it's just

63
00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:44,280
Speaker 2: the leftist agitators with ICE their main enemy.

64
00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:47,720
Speaker 1: Video footage, video footage. We saw.

65
00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:51,600
Speaker 6: We've all seen what happened, you know, And yes, so

66
00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:57,480
Speaker 6: credit to the Department of Justice for getting these arrests

67
00:03:57,520 --> 00:04:02,000
Speaker 6: done in Minneapolis. I've actually seen, which I think speaks

68
00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:05,320
Speaker 6: to even Democrats being like, yeah, this is probably inappropriate.

69
00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:08,520
Speaker 6: I've actually seen so far a fairly muted response from

70
00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:12,640
Speaker 6: Democrats in terms of being opposed to these arrests going on.

71
00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:14,320
Speaker 6: I mean, I'm sure that there's going to be the

72
00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:17,840
Speaker 6: usual suspects lining up, but it doesn't feel to me

73
00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:22,320
Speaker 6: like this is some sort of cross the rubicon moment

74
00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:26,640
Speaker 6: for them. And you knew that these activists were aware

75
00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:30,920
Speaker 6: that they had potentially created an issue, because they very

76
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:35,320
Speaker 6: rapidly started trying to recharacterize what actually happened, even though

77
00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:38,400
Speaker 6: we could all see it on video ourselves. And for

78
00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:40,800
Speaker 6: those of you out there that are not familiar with

79
00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:45,279
Speaker 6: the Face Act, for instance, it was actually designed to

80
00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:49,359
Speaker 6: stop If you're wondering where did this law having to

81
00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:52,760
Speaker 6: do with protecting church services come from, you know what

82
00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:55,719
Speaker 6: it was actually designed to do for church's buck. It

83
00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:59,560
Speaker 6: was designed to stop white supremacists. This is their thesis

84
00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:03,000
Speaker 6: when they asked it. It was designed to stop white supremacists,

85
00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:08,040
Speaker 6: they said, from interrupting black churches. So ah, you've got

86
00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:10,839
Speaker 6: to be careful sometimes with the laws that you put

87
00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:14,640
Speaker 6: on the books, because the precedent that is applied for

88
00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:18,159
Speaker 6: them can shift as the world changes. Because Democrats today

89
00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:21,720
Speaker 6: Buck we all know, would never pass a law that

90
00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:25,640
Speaker 6: prohibited protests from taking place in churches. In fact, they

91
00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:28,760
Speaker 6: would probably pass a law saying we need more protests

92
00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:31,599
Speaker 6: inside of churches if you had to ask them to

93
00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:34,440
Speaker 6: make a choice. Now, but this law is on the books,

94
00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:37,880
Speaker 6: and Attorney General Pambondi traveled to Minneapolis, and this is

95
00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:41,480
Speaker 6: what we SOMEONHAET talked about yesterday. It's one thing to say,

96
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:46,000
Speaker 6: arrest people, but you have to tangibly connect the arrest

97
00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:49,360
Speaker 6: to a crime and the work that has been done here.

98
00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:51,440
Speaker 6: I think it's kind of an open and shut case.

99
00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:55,520
Speaker 6: Pretty clearly demonstrates that these individuals broke the law, and

100
00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:58,200
Speaker 6: now we'll see whether a jury is willing to convict

101
00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:00,400
Speaker 6: them in Minneapolis, which I think is an entire iarly

102
00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:05,520
Speaker 6: different process. But these warrants, these arrests were signed off

103
00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:10,080
Speaker 6: on probable cause, based on the evidence, and it's pretty significant.

104
00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:12,120
Speaker 6: I think that we've already seen a result. I think

105
00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:17,000
Speaker 6: Pam Bondi deserves credit. I think the Minnesota lawyers deserve

106
00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:18,760
Speaker 6: credit and the Department of Justice overall.

107
00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:25,240
Speaker 2: Now here's jd Vance, by the way, speaking to this

108
00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:28,159
Speaker 2: was this morning. He's in Ohio, but he was talking

109
00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:33,760
Speaker 2: about the situation in Minneapolis and just how he's making

110
00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:35,799
Speaker 2: the point Clay that we've been hammering here for days,

111
00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:39,200
Speaker 2: which is this could all be made so much easier.

112
00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:42,719
Speaker 2: This could be on, this could be unnecessary. It is

113
00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:47,240
Speaker 2: necessary because of the decisions of Democrats have made. But

114
00:06:47,279 --> 00:06:50,640
Speaker 2: if they were willing to just give the slightest assistance

115
00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:55,560
Speaker 2: to federal law enforcement on these issues, by just allowing

116
00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:57,919
Speaker 2: access into their jails, for example, by just giving a

117
00:06:57,960 --> 00:07:00,200
Speaker 2: heads up, a phone call, an email. Hey you know

118
00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:03,560
Speaker 2: that in a three time violent felon that suppose that

119
00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:05,680
Speaker 2: has an order of deportation, we got them. We just

120
00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:08,080
Speaker 2: picked them up on something. They could do that and

121
00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:11,120
Speaker 2: this wouldn't be necessary. They refuse. Here's JdE This is

122
00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:14,880
Speaker 2: cut seventeen, and he is speaking the truth about what's

123
00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:15,760
Speaker 2: really going on here.

124
00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:18,640
Speaker 7: I'm headed from here to many Apps where we're going

125
00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:21,239
Speaker 7: to talk with some of our isations, talk with local

126
00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:23,880
Speaker 7: officials about how we can turn down the chaos. And

127
00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:25,760
Speaker 7: my simple piece of advice to them is going to

128
00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:27,760
Speaker 7: be Look, if you want to turn down the chaos

129
00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:31,680
Speaker 7: in Minneapolis, stop fighting immigration enforcement, and except that we

130
00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:33,360
Speaker 7: have to have a border in this country, it's.

131
00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:34,240
Speaker 5: Not that hard.

132
00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:38,600
Speaker 7: If you look all across our country, what's happened in

133
00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:42,280
Speaker 7: Minneapolis is happening almost nowhere else in the United States

134
00:07:42,320 --> 00:07:45,840
Speaker 7: of America. And that's because whether it's in Texas or Tennessee,

135
00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:49,160
Speaker 7: it's in red states, it's in blue cities. Even within

136
00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:53,120
Speaker 7: our country, most people are cooperating with the simple principle

137
00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:55,120
Speaker 7: that we ought to be able to enforce our immigration

138
00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:57,520
Speaker 7: laws and get illegal criminals the hell out of the

139
00:07:57,600 --> 00:08:00,360
Speaker 7: United States of America. It's really not that complim.

140
00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:03,160
Speaker 2: I think it's very important that he puts it into

141
00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:06,960
Speaker 2: that context because it's a very big country. People in Minneapolis,

142
00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:10,880
Speaker 2: including the mayor and the governor and the attorney general

143
00:08:10,920 --> 00:08:14,120
Speaker 2: of the state of Minnesota, they have decided the law

144
00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:17,480
Speaker 2: does not count in their city. They've decided they're going

145
00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:20,760
Speaker 2: to stop people from enforcing the law. They don't have

146
00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:24,120
Speaker 2: that right. They're wrong, and the rest of the country

147
00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:26,560
Speaker 2: isn't going through this. The people are saying, oh, that's.

148
00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:29,960
Speaker 8: The thuggish tactics, and it's so all this stuff the

149
00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:33,800
Speaker 8: checkpoints and all of this. Do they have those in Nashville?

150
00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:36,640
Speaker 8: Like are their checkpoints in Franklin? I mean, you know,

151
00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:38,960
Speaker 8: you sit here, I'm seeing none of this in Miami

152
00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:43,920
Speaker 8: because they don't have the same processes of obstruction in place. Yeah,

153
00:08:43,920 --> 00:08:46,199
Speaker 8: they've made they're making this happen, is the point.

154
00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:46,880
Speaker 3: No.

155
00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:50,080
Speaker 6: I think that's really important because if you're in a

156
00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:52,840
Speaker 6: state like you are Florida or a state like I

157
00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:57,120
Speaker 6: am Tennessee, by and large, there is not this obstruction

158
00:08:57,480 --> 00:09:00,760
Speaker 6: constantly that is occurring of ICE's ability to do their jobs.

159
00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:04,000
Speaker 6: And I would say this is one thing you could

160
00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:06,600
Speaker 6: look at, and maybe Pambondi and her team are looking

161
00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:10,720
Speaker 6: at it in Minneapolis and in Minnesota writ large. Right now,

162
00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:16,600
Speaker 6: if there is tangible evidence of Mayor Fry saying in

163
00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:20,200
Speaker 6: some way or Tim Walls providing instruction in some way

164
00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:26,200
Speaker 6: to state or city employees to obstruct ICE's ability to

165
00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:30,800
Speaker 6: do their jobs, potentially you could have an obstruction charge

166
00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:34,600
Speaker 6: that could be brought against Mayor Fry or Governor Walls.

167
00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:37,960
Speaker 6: This to me is one of the great questions that

168
00:09:38,040 --> 00:09:41,440
Speaker 6: is out there in general, which is to what extent

169
00:09:41,640 --> 00:09:47,440
Speaker 6: is their direct evidence of behavior that would constitute a

170
00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:51,360
Speaker 6: crime on behalf of these individuals who are obstructing ice.

171
00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:54,760
Speaker 6: In particular, as I said yesterday, I still think it's

172
00:09:54,800 --> 00:09:58,120
Speaker 6: one of the great unexamined aspects of the entirety of

173
00:09:58,360 --> 00:10:02,480
Speaker 6: the immigration era. How in the world have we allowed

174
00:10:02,559 --> 00:10:05,319
Speaker 6: the possibility of a sanctuary city to exist at all?

175
00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:10,120
Speaker 6: Federal laws supreme, So when the President of the United

176
00:10:10,120 --> 00:10:13,520
Speaker 6: States on immigration related issues, when the President of the

177
00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:15,720
Speaker 6: United States says, the law of the land is this

178
00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:20,080
Speaker 6: on immigration, it is undisputedly in his province of authority.

179
00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:22,680
Speaker 1: And Buck, do you remember how frustrating this was.

180
00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:25,200
Speaker 6: We talked about it a lot when Biden had the

181
00:10:25,240 --> 00:10:28,720
Speaker 6: open borders and Governor Greg Abbott in Texas and so

182
00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:32,720
Speaker 6: many other individuals in Texas said we've got to have

183
00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:36,520
Speaker 6: the power to control ingress and egress in our state,

184
00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:39,760
Speaker 6: and they kept getting slapped down by judges who said, well,

185
00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:42,400
Speaker 6: it's really more of a federal than a state issue

186
00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:46,080
Speaker 6: if that principle applies, which it does for Biden and

187
00:10:46,160 --> 00:10:51,320
Speaker 6: for Trump, sanctuary cities are not permissible under federal law,

188
00:10:51,640 --> 00:10:55,160
Speaker 6: and anyone who is allowing them to occur, in theory,

189
00:10:55,679 --> 00:11:00,160
Speaker 6: is violating federal law and their state and local laws

190
00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:03,880
Speaker 6: are covered by the supremacy clause, and so you could

191
00:11:03,920 --> 00:11:07,920
Speaker 6: bring charges in that aspect which would be up applicable

192
00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:11,040
Speaker 6: whether it's California, Minnesota, New York, anywhere in the country.

193
00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:14,920
Speaker 1: And this is where we got into the discussion yesterday.

194
00:11:14,920 --> 00:11:16,880
Speaker 2: I'm sure we still have some talkbacks about it for

195
00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:20,480
Speaker 2: those who just want charges to be filed versus the hey,

196
00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:23,960
Speaker 2: let's know why we're bringing the charge approach to these things,

197
00:11:24,320 --> 00:11:27,240
Speaker 2: which I think is good because if you bring a

198
00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:32,720
Speaker 2: charge that is frivolous, especially in a place like Minnesota.

199
00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:32,920
Speaker 1: They're just going to show.

200
00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:35,040
Speaker 2: They're gonna have lawyers show up in a court and

201
00:11:35,040 --> 00:11:38,199
Speaker 2: the judge is going to dismiss it. Guys, this notion

202
00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:40,360
Speaker 2: the process is the punishment. Let me tell you something

203
00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:44,920
Speaker 2: about this. If you're really being grasping and you're on

204
00:11:45,040 --> 00:11:48,840
Speaker 2: enemy territory politically, there really is no process. You're going

205
00:11:48,880 --> 00:11:50,920
Speaker 2: to show up the court and a judge is gonna say, yeah,

206
00:11:50,920 --> 00:11:53,400
Speaker 2: these are garbage, see you later. And then if you

207
00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:55,640
Speaker 2: try it again, you might get a judge who says, Okay,

208
00:11:55,679 --> 00:11:57,959
Speaker 2: you're doing something here. I might file, you might get

209
00:11:57,960 --> 00:12:00,760
Speaker 2: a contempt order. So it's not as simple, is just

210
00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:04,200
Speaker 2: prosecute them. That's not a thing. Okay, you have to

211
00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:07,240
Speaker 2: have some basis for it if you want, now bring

212
00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:10,760
Speaker 2: to clays point about this. Yesterday you get an indictment. Okay,

213
00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:13,600
Speaker 2: Now there's a process. Now someone's got to go through

214
00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:16,840
Speaker 2: discovery and a trial and all these different things. But

215
00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:20,280
Speaker 2: just bringing a charge, bringing a charge, I mean, if

216
00:12:20,400 --> 00:12:22,439
Speaker 2: let's say we brought a charge against Don Now, Don

217
00:12:22,520 --> 00:12:24,079
Speaker 2: Lemon's a bad example in the sense that I think

218
00:12:24,120 --> 00:12:25,800
Speaker 2: he actually could be in trouble for the same reason

219
00:12:25,880 --> 00:12:28,680
Speaker 2: this organizer is. But you bring a charge against someone

220
00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:30,559
Speaker 2: like Don Lemon and he shows up with his high

221
00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:33,000
Speaker 2: priced lawyers, Guy's got millions of dollars, and he gets

222
00:12:33,040 --> 00:12:36,360
Speaker 2: a judge to slap away the charge, just throw it out.

223
00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:39,160
Speaker 2: So it's over what process do you think that is

224
00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:41,240
Speaker 2: other than Don Lemon walking out of the courthouse saying

225
00:12:41,280 --> 00:12:44,400
Speaker 2: I'm a hero, I'm a martyr for you know Ice

226
00:12:44,520 --> 00:12:46,960
Speaker 2: and you know the or you know anti Ice and

227
00:12:47,240 --> 00:12:49,920
Speaker 2: all the illegals and everything else. So this is what

228
00:12:49,960 --> 00:12:51,679
Speaker 2: this is what we're trying to say. Yes, what Pam

229
00:12:51,760 --> 00:12:55,680
Speaker 2: Bondi is doing is the right way. Here is the charge,

230
00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:59,840
Speaker 2: here's the evidence of violation, that's why we have arrested.

231
00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:03,319
Speaker 2: Now you have a reasonable chance of a judge seeing

232
00:13:03,360 --> 00:13:06,840
Speaker 2: this and at least allowing this to go to an

233
00:13:06,840 --> 00:13:09,520
Speaker 2: indictment phase instead of just it's gonna get now it

234
00:13:09,559 --> 00:13:12,280
Speaker 2: might get tossed out, but I mean, you're ensuring it's

235
00:13:12,280 --> 00:13:13,960
Speaker 2: gonna get tossed out if you're showing up with like,

236
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:15,719
Speaker 2: we just arrested this person because we don't like.

237
00:13:15,679 --> 00:13:18,000
Speaker 1: Them, which, by the way, we actually don't want that happening.

238
00:13:18,200 --> 00:13:19,840
Speaker 2: I understand that this is where there's a little bit

239
00:13:19,880 --> 00:13:22,199
Speaker 2: of you don't want to be in a country where

240
00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:24,240
Speaker 2: you just get arrested because people don't like you. I

241
00:13:24,240 --> 00:13:26,040
Speaker 2: know the other side has done this with Trump to

242
00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:31,160
Speaker 2: some extent, but it failed. It failed, and if you

243
00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:33,400
Speaker 2: want any more proof of that, you can see the

244
00:13:33,480 --> 00:13:36,480
Speaker 2: mug shot. But should you ever get a mugshot T shirt?

245
00:13:36,520 --> 00:13:37,360
Speaker 2: Was that you that got that.

246
00:13:37,520 --> 00:13:42,000
Speaker 6: Or I got enough mugshot T shirt? Autographed by President Trump?

247
00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:44,560
Speaker 6: It is in my house as a I mean, I

248
00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:48,600
Speaker 6: think that is an all timer, maybe the greatest mugshot's

249
00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:49,199
Speaker 6: ever been taken.

250
00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:51,040
Speaker 2: By the point here is, as far as I see

251
00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:54,760
Speaker 2: at Pamboni's making the right move. This arrest, this charging

252
00:13:54,960 --> 00:13:59,360
Speaker 2: of this organizer violation of law. It's there, it's real,

253
00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:03,480
Speaker 2: it's clear. Let's go. If you find out that buffoon

254
00:14:03,640 --> 00:14:07,160
Speaker 2: Walls was doing something illegal, great, But we have to

255
00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:09,200
Speaker 2: find that there's a thing that we can we can

256
00:14:09,520 --> 00:14:11,360
Speaker 2: credibly say he was doing that's illegally.

257
00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:14,280
Speaker 1: He can arrest people. I don't know. I think I

258
00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:16,560
Speaker 1: think that's a pretty self evident truth.

259
00:14:17,080 --> 00:14:18,760
Speaker 2: All right, this is the month that many of us

260
00:14:18,840 --> 00:14:21,240
Speaker 2: cut back on expenses, because look, things got a little

261
00:14:21,280 --> 00:14:24,360
Speaker 2: crazy in December. But I think it's time you should

262
00:14:24,800 --> 00:14:27,480
Speaker 2: save some money with the easiest thing I could think of,

263
00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:30,200
Speaker 2: switch to Puretalk and over the course of a year,

264
00:14:30,480 --> 00:14:32,000
Speaker 2: because this is going to be a monthly savings, but

265
00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:33,520
Speaker 2: over the course of a year, you could save six

266
00:14:33,680 --> 00:14:36,840
Speaker 2: hundred to one thousand dollars. Puretalk saves you fifty percent

267
00:14:36,920 --> 00:14:41,000
Speaker 2: or more off your existing cell phone bill without sacrificing

268
00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:43,840
Speaker 2: any quality of service. That's because Puretalk operates on the

269
00:14:43,840 --> 00:14:45,840
Speaker 2: same cell towers and network as one of the bigger

270
00:14:45,880 --> 00:14:48,760
Speaker 2: cell phone companies, but without all the overhead expenses, and

271
00:14:48,840 --> 00:14:51,320
Speaker 2: the cost him me as low as twenty dollars a

284
00:15:30,440 --> 00:15:35,040
Speaker 6: Welcome in our number two Clay Travis Bock Sexton Show.

285
00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:38,040
Speaker 1: Okay, we got a lot going on.

286
00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:40,920
Speaker 6: As has been the case for the last several weeks,

287
00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:48,600
Speaker 6: breaking news Minneapolis church protesters have been arrested, several of them.

288
00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:52,680
Speaker 6: There have been charges brought or attempted to be brought

289
00:15:53,160 --> 00:15:59,000
Speaker 6: against Don Lemon, among others. Their reports from CBS News

290
00:15:59,080 --> 00:16:03,120
Speaker 6: confirmed by The Day Wire that a judge refused to

291
00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:08,080
Speaker 6: sign the complaint allowing Don Lemon to be arrested. Jack

292
00:16:08,120 --> 00:16:13,280
Speaker 6: Smith has been testifying. All three news networks have been

293
00:16:13,360 --> 00:16:16,600
Speaker 6: covering his testimony. We will play some of it for you,

294
00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:21,000
Speaker 6: But again the Minneapolis News I think has taken precedence.

295
00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:24,120
Speaker 6: And maybe the most surprising thing to me about this

296
00:16:24,240 --> 00:16:28,000
Speaker 6: at all, Buck, is no one is out there really

297
00:16:28,080 --> 00:16:34,240
Speaker 6: defending these individuals who were arrested, In fact, the opposite,

298
00:16:34,840 --> 00:16:39,200
Speaker 6: and even Mayor Fry who weighed in and said this

299
00:16:39,280 --> 00:16:43,360
Speaker 6: is a completely inappropriate arrest. It's the first comment that

300
00:16:43,400 --> 00:16:46,080
Speaker 6: he has made at all about the protest inside of

301
00:16:46,120 --> 00:16:49,480
Speaker 6: the church. But it feels like there has been a

302
00:16:50,160 --> 00:16:53,880
Speaker 6: sort of code read ordered on behalf of Democrats to

303
00:16:54,040 --> 00:16:57,560
Speaker 6: throw this crew to the wolves and not defend them,

304
00:16:57,600 --> 00:17:00,440
Speaker 6: because I think they recognize the optics were so bad.

305
00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:03,560
Speaker 6: In fact, yesterday, whether we believe him or not, remember

306
00:17:03,640 --> 00:17:07,399
Speaker 6: Don Lemon said he hadn't even seen the video of

307
00:17:07,480 --> 00:17:10,280
Speaker 6: the protest from inside of Minneapolis, and when he was asked,

308
00:17:11,280 --> 00:17:15,720
Speaker 6: Gavin Newsom was at Davos about this incident. So it

309
00:17:15,800 --> 00:17:19,359
Speaker 6: feels like maybe the politics on this are so bad

310
00:17:19,720 --> 00:17:21,399
Speaker 6: that everybody is running from it.

311
00:17:21,440 --> 00:17:24,400
Speaker 1: And I'm stunned, frankly.

312
00:17:24,440 --> 00:17:28,680
Speaker 6: That there are no coverage on MSNBC of these arrests,

313
00:17:28,800 --> 00:17:32,000
Speaker 6: no coverage on CNN, because if you remember, Buck, remember

314
00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:36,280
Speaker 6: when that judge in Milwaukee got arrested for interfering with

315
00:17:36,359 --> 00:17:39,880
Speaker 6: the ice proceeding, and immediately it was everywhere and they said,

316
00:17:39,920 --> 00:17:42,760
Speaker 6: oh my goodness, this is fascism and Trump. And then

317
00:17:42,800 --> 00:17:45,040
Speaker 6: the video came out of the judge and everybody stopped

318
00:17:45,080 --> 00:17:48,199
Speaker 6: defending her, and she was later convicted and she's no

319
00:17:48,320 --> 00:17:49,199
Speaker 6: longer a judge.

320
00:17:50,280 --> 00:17:51,640
Speaker 1: I do think this.

321
00:17:51,840 --> 00:17:56,000
Speaker 6: Is maybe that where the video came out and Democrats

322
00:17:56,119 --> 00:17:58,080
Speaker 6: just said, this is such a bad look for us.

323
00:17:58,359 --> 00:18:00,480
Speaker 6: We're not even going to fight on this ground. Mayor

324
00:18:00,520 --> 00:18:03,040
Speaker 6: Fry has But I haven't seen anything of any significant

325
00:18:03,119 --> 00:18:07,080
Speaker 6: nature from any sort of outspoken national Democrats on it.

326
00:18:08,680 --> 00:18:12,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that they've recognized this is a very

327
00:18:12,280 --> 00:18:15,160
Speaker 2: tough one because, like I said, of the video and

328
00:18:15,200 --> 00:18:18,000
Speaker 2: the fact that there are specific laws, and do they

329
00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:21,080
Speaker 2: want to say that those laws shouldn't exist? You know,

330
00:18:21,160 --> 00:18:22,879
Speaker 2: this is the next level of it is, do we

331
00:18:22,960 --> 00:18:25,560
Speaker 2: want to be in a country where keep in mind,

332
00:18:26,119 --> 00:18:29,399
Speaker 2: if a church isn't protected, neither is a synagogue, Neither

333
00:18:29,480 --> 00:18:32,320
Speaker 2: is a mosque, Neither is a you know, a Hindu

334
00:18:32,359 --> 00:18:35,280
Speaker 2: tempolga go down the list. Any time you want to

335
00:18:35,280 --> 00:18:39,320
Speaker 2: get attention for yourself and your lunatic cause you can

336
00:18:39,480 --> 00:18:42,439
Speaker 2: interrupt a house of worship and cause a riot and

337
00:18:42,480 --> 00:18:46,080
Speaker 2: shout at everybody and ruin their religious service because you

338
00:18:46,160 --> 00:18:49,280
Speaker 2: feel like it. But by the way, a black church,

339
00:18:49,520 --> 00:18:51,040
Speaker 2: same thing. You know, if you're if you're in this,

340
00:18:51,200 --> 00:18:52,960
Speaker 2: if you're in the South, then you're in a black church.

341
00:18:53,240 --> 00:18:59,000
Speaker 2: Should some maniac you know, uh, right wing, left wing

342
00:18:59,040 --> 00:19:02,040
Speaker 2: doesn't matter, be able to just shout down everybody in

343
00:19:02,040 --> 00:19:03,639
Speaker 2: that black church and intimidate them.

344
00:19:03,640 --> 00:19:04,199
Speaker 1: Of course not.

345
00:19:04,680 --> 00:19:07,560
Speaker 2: So the law is actually a good law because we

346
00:19:07,640 --> 00:19:09,400
Speaker 2: don't want what these morons did.

347
00:19:09,800 --> 00:19:10,119
Speaker 1: Clay.

348
00:19:10,520 --> 00:19:14,199
Speaker 2: This was a huge tactical error on the part of

349
00:19:14,240 --> 00:19:16,720
Speaker 2: the street communists, and they're paying the price because the

350
00:19:16,720 --> 00:19:19,200
Speaker 2: Trump administration isn't playing games.

351
00:19:19,800 --> 00:19:23,679
Speaker 6: Third arrest in the last minute. Attorney General Pam Bondi

352
00:19:23,760 --> 00:19:27,720
Speaker 6: has said that a third individual is now in custody again.

353
00:19:27,760 --> 00:19:32,160
Speaker 6: Politico has reported that there are seven arrest, seven charges,

354
00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:36,919
Speaker 6: seven people charged, and that process is underway. We'll go

355
00:19:36,960 --> 00:19:38,520
Speaker 6: to some of your calls here in a moment, But

356
00:19:38,600 --> 00:19:40,679
Speaker 6: I did want to hit this too off the second

357
00:19:41,080 --> 00:19:43,320
Speaker 6: top of the second hour, because I don't think it's

358
00:19:43,359 --> 00:19:46,480
Speaker 6: going to be talked about very much, and I actually

359
00:19:46,520 --> 00:19:49,280
Speaker 6: think it is a tremendous accomplishment, one of the best

360
00:19:49,280 --> 00:19:53,679
Speaker 6: accomplishments so far of Trump two point zero. I'm reading

361
00:19:53,720 --> 00:19:59,399
Speaker 6: from Axios buck US murder rate hits lowest level since

362
00:19:59,640 --> 00:20:03,919
Speaker 6: night teen hundred. I want to repeat that because it

363
00:20:03,960 --> 00:20:08,080
Speaker 6: should be everywhere. Everybody should be talking about this. The

364
00:20:08,200 --> 00:20:13,240
Speaker 6: murder rate in Trump two point zero year one just

365
00:20:13,400 --> 00:20:18,720
Speaker 6: hit the lowest level since nineteen hundred. Murders fell twenty

366
00:20:18,800 --> 00:20:22,879
Speaker 6: one percent last year, UH, the biggest one year drop ever,

367
00:20:23,600 --> 00:20:28,480
Speaker 6: likely the lowest rate since the year nineteen hundred. Axios

368
00:20:28,600 --> 00:20:33,119
Speaker 6: data says the decline signals a complete reversal of the

369
00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:37,520
Speaker 6: COVID era crime wave. Here are a couple of data

370
00:20:37,560 --> 00:20:42,440
Speaker 6: points inside of this. Aggravated assaults fell by nine percent,

371
00:20:42,880 --> 00:20:46,359
Speaker 6: gun assaults and robbery down twenty two percent and twenty

372
00:20:46,400 --> 00:20:48,439
Speaker 6: three percent, respectively.

373
00:20:49,640 --> 00:20:51,520
Speaker 1: And in some cities.

374
00:20:51,600 --> 00:20:56,920
Speaker 6: Listen to this, Buck, Murders fell forty percent in Washington, DC.

375
00:20:57,720 --> 00:20:59,840
Speaker 6: Do you remember when they told us that Trump so

376
00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:02,879
Speaker 6: urging resources in Washington, d C Was going to have

377
00:21:02,920 --> 00:21:07,600
Speaker 6: no impact? Forty percent in DC and in Omaha, Nebraska.

378
00:21:07,800 --> 00:21:13,560
Speaker 6: Murder down forty one percent. In Denver and in general,

379
00:21:13,920 --> 00:21:17,359
Speaker 6: the national murder rate is down to four per one

380
00:21:17,480 --> 00:21:21,080
Speaker 6: hundred thousand people, the lowest level it has been at

381
00:21:21,280 --> 00:21:24,760
Speaker 6: since nineteen hundred. This is a big deal, is a

382
00:21:24,840 --> 00:21:28,719
Speaker 6: really big deal, and I think it's the sign of

383
00:21:28,960 --> 00:21:33,400
Speaker 6: Trump's endorsement of law and order, and it's having real

384
00:21:33,400 --> 00:21:34,199
Speaker 6: impact already.

385
00:21:34,520 --> 00:21:35,840
Speaker 1: Well, I'm sure it's coming.

386
00:21:35,960 --> 00:21:38,879
Speaker 2: Minneapolis right now is the focus, as is Greenland and

387
00:21:38,920 --> 00:21:41,760
Speaker 2: the negotiations at Davos. But I think this White House

388
00:21:41,920 --> 00:21:43,879
Speaker 2: is probably going to have a press conference in the

389
00:21:44,080 --> 00:21:47,000
Speaker 2: days ahead where the first thing we hear from Caroline

390
00:21:47,080 --> 00:21:49,439
Speaker 2: Levitt is going to be all these stats that you

391
00:21:49,560 --> 00:21:51,520
Speaker 2: just shared. If they haven't done this already, maybe I've

392
00:21:51,520 --> 00:21:55,440
Speaker 2: missed some of this, but they should do that because

393
00:21:56,240 --> 00:21:59,879
Speaker 2: a few things. One, they deserve the administration deserves the

394
00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:05,560
Speaker 2: it for making a decision in the face of tremendous pushback.

395
00:22:06,280 --> 00:22:08,400
Speaker 1: And also, this really matters.

396
00:22:09,320 --> 00:22:13,800
Speaker 2: This isn't adjusting the marginal tax rate for a twelve

397
00:22:13,800 --> 00:22:16,879
Speaker 2: month period until we figure out what the next appropriations

398
00:22:16,920 --> 00:22:20,560
Speaker 2: bill is. This is saving people's lives, and so it's

399
00:22:20,640 --> 00:22:25,679
Speaker 2: important that everyone understands the old way of sorry, we

400
00:22:25,840 --> 00:22:28,520
Speaker 2: just have to have X one hundred number of murders

401
00:22:28,520 --> 00:22:30,920
Speaker 2: in this city or that city, because that's the way

402
00:22:30,960 --> 00:22:36,760
Speaker 2: it is. Should no longer apply. What's even more, what's

403
00:22:36,800 --> 00:22:41,080
Speaker 2: the word shocking, but maybe it shouldn't be shocking.

404
00:22:41,240 --> 00:22:41,679
Speaker 1: Is clay.

405
00:22:42,200 --> 00:22:44,040
Speaker 2: All the people that were opposed to this should now

406
00:22:44,080 --> 00:22:47,760
Speaker 2: be saying, Wow, murders are way down. Trump was right,

407
00:22:47,920 --> 00:22:51,119
Speaker 2: We should do more of this. But they won't because

408
00:22:51,840 --> 00:22:54,720
Speaker 2: they would rather I don't know how else you could

409
00:22:54,720 --> 00:22:58,320
Speaker 2: frame this. They would rather more people get shot and

410
00:22:58,440 --> 00:23:03,320
Speaker 2: killed in DC, in Memphis and all these different cities

411
00:23:03,320 --> 00:23:05,480
Speaker 2: we're talking about. They'd rather more people get shot and

412
00:23:05,560 --> 00:23:07,080
Speaker 2: killed because they don't have to see that and deal

413
00:23:07,119 --> 00:23:08,480
Speaker 2: with it if they don't live there, or they don't

414
00:23:08,520 --> 00:23:10,919
Speaker 2: live in one of the bad neighborhoods. That admit that

415
00:23:10,960 --> 00:23:14,480
Speaker 2: Trump was right and that he's saving lives. Think about that.

416
00:23:14,880 --> 00:23:19,159
Speaker 2: Imagine that's your moral calculation, because that's the calculation democrats

417
00:23:19,280 --> 00:23:20,960
Speaker 2: all across the country are making.

418
00:23:21,400 --> 00:23:24,000
Speaker 6: And buck this is just going to be one hundred

419
00:23:24,040 --> 00:23:27,200
Speaker 6: percent true based on the data. Do you know, as

420
00:23:27,240 --> 00:23:30,600
Speaker 6: we hit the lowest murder rate since nineteen hundred, do

421
00:23:30,680 --> 00:23:34,679
Speaker 6: you know what Donald Trump has done. He's actually proved

422
00:23:34,720 --> 00:23:39,720
Speaker 6: black lives matter because overwhelmingly the people whose lives were

423
00:23:39,800 --> 00:23:41,560
Speaker 6: saved were black.

424
00:23:41,840 --> 00:23:44,200
Speaker 2: Because you got to get that on a T shirt Clay.

425
00:23:44,200 --> 00:23:47,200
Speaker 2: We got to sell Clay Travis. Trump has proven black

426
00:23:47,240 --> 00:23:47,840
Speaker 2: lives matter.

427
00:23:48,280 --> 00:23:51,560
Speaker 6: No one has saved more black lives than Donald Trump.

428
00:23:52,440 --> 00:23:55,520
Speaker 6: I mean in the history of the presidency. I don't

429
00:23:55,520 --> 00:23:59,480
Speaker 6: know who was president back in nineteen hundred, but when

430
00:23:59,480 --> 00:24:02,280
Speaker 6: you look, I mean, in all seriousness, it's it's it's

431
00:24:02,920 --> 00:24:06,920
Speaker 6: unfortunate truth that the black murder rate, that is, people

432
00:24:06,920 --> 00:24:09,360
Speaker 6: who are black who are murdered, is I think it's

433
00:24:09,440 --> 00:24:12,280
Speaker 6: twenty x the white murder rate. I think that number

434
00:24:12,320 --> 00:24:15,040
Speaker 6: is correct. In other words, you are the victims, not perpetrator.

435
00:24:15,080 --> 00:24:18,560
Speaker 6: Shock right, it's I think it's it's ten x perpetrator,

436
00:24:19,240 --> 00:24:22,359
Speaker 6: twenty x victim rate, something like that. That's you're about

437
00:24:22,640 --> 00:24:24,919
Speaker 6: I think that's about right. Well we'll have a well,

438
00:24:25,080 --> 00:24:27,479
Speaker 6: we'll grock it. But I think you are twenty times

439
00:24:27,520 --> 00:24:30,440
Speaker 6: as likely to be murdered if you are black as

440
00:24:30,440 --> 00:24:33,159
Speaker 6: if you are white. So my point on that is

441
00:24:33,400 --> 00:24:38,600
Speaker 6: when murder rates come down, they overwhelmingly are leading to

442
00:24:38,920 --> 00:24:42,880
Speaker 6: fewer black murders because the numbers are statistically what they are.

443
00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:46,080
Speaker 6: So if you truly believe that black lives matter, and

444
00:24:46,119 --> 00:24:49,480
Speaker 6: you've been focused on it since George Floyd, no one

445
00:24:49,560 --> 00:24:52,320
Speaker 6: has done more to save black lives as a president

446
00:24:52,760 --> 00:24:55,879
Speaker 6: than President Trump has. Uh and and the reality is

447
00:24:56,400 --> 00:24:58,800
Speaker 6: what I what I love about this. In addition to

448
00:24:59,119 --> 00:25:01,280
Speaker 6: the fact that way more people are alive, which is

449
00:25:01,280 --> 00:25:04,720
Speaker 6: a good thing, the DC numbers buck.

450
00:25:05,600 --> 00:25:06,720
Speaker 1: We got lectured.

451
00:25:06,960 --> 00:25:10,719
Speaker 6: So many journals came out and they said they wagged

452
00:25:10,760 --> 00:25:14,320
Speaker 6: their fingers and they either said it's not actually that dangerous,

453
00:25:14,320 --> 00:25:15,399
Speaker 6: because that's one of the things.

454
00:25:15,320 --> 00:25:18,680
Speaker 2: They would say, Well, the National you're right about this.

455
00:25:18,760 --> 00:25:20,720
Speaker 2: But I think it's interesting, Clay, because remember we talked

456
00:25:20,720 --> 00:25:25,080
Speaker 2: about it. Journals who didn't live in d c RLL

457
00:25:25,359 --> 00:25:27,879
Speaker 2: DC's great. I went there on a school trip and

458
00:25:27,920 --> 00:25:30,240
Speaker 2: it was really nice. You know that they're super safe.

459
00:25:30,280 --> 00:25:32,359
Speaker 2: I don't know what they're talking about. Yeah, I went

460
00:25:32,400 --> 00:25:35,040
Speaker 2: to a cocktail party once in Georgetown and didn't get shot.

461
00:25:35,080 --> 00:25:36,679
Speaker 1: What a surprise. Uh.

462
00:25:37,160 --> 00:25:41,840
Speaker 2: The actual journals in DC, though, including some libs. You remember,

463
00:25:42,119 --> 00:25:44,359
Speaker 2: there were cracks. There were breaks in the ranks on

464
00:25:44,359 --> 00:25:46,800
Speaker 2: this where they were like, yeah, I know, it's really dangerous.

465
00:25:47,320 --> 00:25:50,280
Speaker 2: They were the ones who lived there. Some of them

466
00:25:50,320 --> 00:25:52,879
Speaker 2: started speaking up because they were sick of being worried

467
00:25:52,920 --> 00:25:55,479
Speaker 2: about getting robbed for their phone on their street corner

468
00:25:55,840 --> 00:25:58,040
Speaker 2: in nice neighborhoods, so that was real.

469
00:25:58,520 --> 00:26:03,800
Speaker 6: The numbers have plummeted. DC murders overwhelmingly saved black lives

470
00:26:03,840 --> 00:26:06,280
Speaker 6: in DC because almost everyone who dies of murder in

471
00:26:06,359 --> 00:26:08,320
Speaker 6: DC is black. I mean, that is what the data

472
00:26:08,400 --> 00:26:12,880
Speaker 6: actually reflects. Also, Buck this ties in what we're talking

473
00:26:12,880 --> 00:26:16,960
Speaker 6: about in Minneapolis. Do you think that just maybe letting

474
00:26:17,040 --> 00:26:21,639
Speaker 6: ice go arrest violent criminals in the United States and

475
00:26:21,760 --> 00:26:25,320
Speaker 6: put people on notice that they're coming for them might

476
00:26:25,440 --> 00:26:30,240
Speaker 6: also have impacted in a significant way the overall murder

477
00:26:30,320 --> 00:26:30,760
Speaker 6: rate that.

478
00:26:30,680 --> 00:26:32,200
Speaker 1: We saw happen in this country.

479
00:26:32,320 --> 00:26:37,040
Speaker 6: I just think if if you just objectively step back

480
00:26:37,560 --> 00:26:41,240
Speaker 6: and just said, hey, let's look at what the data

481
00:26:41,359 --> 00:26:44,920
Speaker 6: actually reflects, this is where I think President Trump is correct.

482
00:26:45,960 --> 00:26:50,720
Speaker 6: He's not getting credit for having a transformative first year

483
00:26:50,760 --> 00:26:54,920
Speaker 6: of his presidency when it comes to border security, when

484
00:26:54,920 --> 00:26:59,320
Speaker 6: it comes to actual murder rates nationwide, when.

485
00:26:59,119 --> 00:27:01,240
Speaker 1: It comes to Locke looking bad guys up.

486
00:27:02,240 --> 00:27:05,840
Speaker 6: Think about this. No one alive listening to us today.

487
00:27:06,160 --> 00:27:09,320
Speaker 6: This is pretty incredible. No one alive listening to us

488
00:27:09,400 --> 00:27:14,240
Speaker 6: today has ever lived in a United States safer than

489
00:27:14,440 --> 00:27:18,320
Speaker 6: last year in the United States. That's a pretty remarkable

490
00:27:18,400 --> 00:27:21,600
Speaker 6: stat unless you were Unless you're I don't think anybody's

491
00:27:21,600 --> 00:27:23,240
Speaker 6: one hundred and twenty five years old or one hundred

492
00:27:23,240 --> 00:27:25,399
Speaker 6: and twenty six years old right now. Then none of

493
00:27:25,480 --> 00:27:28,520
Speaker 6: us have ever been alive in a United States that

494
00:27:28,800 --> 00:27:33,120
Speaker 6: was safer than President Trump's first year in twenty twenty five.

495
00:27:33,440 --> 00:27:38,600
Speaker 6: And it's a remarkable turnaround since twenty twenty when the

496
00:27:38,680 --> 00:27:41,600
Speaker 6: murder rate skyrocketed, that we now have gone to a

497
00:27:41,720 --> 00:27:45,840
Speaker 6: level of safety that no one living today has ever

498
00:27:45,920 --> 00:27:48,359
Speaker 6: seen before. You know what, I might call that book

499
00:27:49,200 --> 00:27:53,440
Speaker 6: making America Great Again. In fact, it's not America safe again,

500
00:27:53,600 --> 00:27:57,320
Speaker 6: for sure, making America safer than it's ever been before.

501
00:27:57,400 --> 00:28:00,320
Speaker 6: We're not even going back to the word again. We're

502
00:28:00,359 --> 00:28:03,600
Speaker 6: going to a new standard of excellence when it comes

503
00:28:03,640 --> 00:28:07,200
Speaker 6: to safety in the country. This should be the number

504
00:28:07,240 --> 00:28:10,800
Speaker 6: one story everywhere in the nation right now, and I

505
00:28:10,960 --> 00:28:13,920
Speaker 6: bet many of you will not hear it, but for

506
00:28:14,160 --> 00:28:17,720
Speaker 6: having heard us talk about it, and we'll take some

507
00:28:17,760 --> 00:28:19,360
Speaker 6: of your calls. We got loaded lines, by the way,

508
00:28:19,400 --> 00:28:21,240
Speaker 6: everybody wants to weigh in. We'll take your calls and

509
00:28:21,240 --> 00:28:24,040
Speaker 6: we come back. Stick with us if you would, and

510
00:28:24,440 --> 00:28:28,719
Speaker 6: we'll continue to update you on that Minneapolis situation. But

511
00:28:28,760 --> 00:28:30,560
Speaker 6: in the meantime, I want to tell you prize picks.

512
00:28:31,119 --> 00:28:34,320
Speaker 6: I've got to pick for you NFC Championship game. The

513
00:28:34,480 --> 00:28:38,520
Speaker 6: Seattle Seahawks are hosting the La Rams, and I've got

Speaker 6: Matthew Stafford to throw more than one and a half

515
00:28:40,800 --> 00:28:43,560
Speaker 6: touchdown passes, and I've got Sam Darnold to throw more

516
00:28:43,600 --> 00:28:45,920
Speaker 6: than one and a half touchdown passes. If I am

Speaker 6: correct in that pays out at two point seventy five

518
00:28:48,240 --> 00:28:52,200
Speaker 6: to one. That is five dollars becomes what probably fourteen dollars,

519
00:28:52,440 --> 00:28:56,640
Speaker 6: nearly triple your money. And when you play five dollars

520

Speaker 6: Welcome back in Clay Travis buck Sexton Show. Politico has

535
00:29:45,280 --> 00:29:49,640
Speaker 6: now updated their story to say Don Lemon was not charged.

536
00:29:50,120 --> 00:29:50,720
Speaker 1: We told you.

537
00:29:50,840 --> 00:29:56,360
Speaker 6: CBS News reported and Daily Wire confirmed that a judge

538
00:29:56,400 --> 00:30:00,200
Speaker 6: had refused to sign off on the complaint to allow.

539
00:30:00,120 --> 00:30:01,400
Speaker 1: Don Lemon to be arrested.

540
00:30:01,600 --> 00:30:05,080
Speaker 6: To be arrested, but Attorney General Pambondy just posted the

541
00:30:05,120 --> 00:30:08,680
Speaker 6: last few minutes that a man named William Kelly had

542
00:30:08,760 --> 00:30:12,479
Speaker 6: been arrested. He is the third individual arrested for going

543
00:30:12,560 --> 00:30:16,640
Speaker 6: into this church. And I believe we have the audio.

544
00:30:16,920 --> 00:30:18,400
Speaker 6: I'm just trying to make sure that I get the

545
00:30:18,520 --> 00:30:22,400
Speaker 6: number right here. Here is cut thirty six, one of

546
00:30:22,440 --> 00:30:28,360
Speaker 6: the Minnesota church protesters. Yesterday. He taunted Attorney General Pambondi

547
00:30:28,880 --> 00:30:32,320
Speaker 6: and dared her to come arrest him thirty six.

548
00:30:32,640 --> 00:30:34,640
Speaker 10: So you know, Pambondy, you want to come and arrest me,

549
00:30:34,680 --> 00:30:36,360
Speaker 10: you want to come and get me charges.

550
00:30:36,240 --> 00:30:36,960
Speaker 1: So be it.

551
00:30:37,040 --> 00:30:39,080
Speaker 10: And for all the people getting you know, giving me

552
00:30:39,160 --> 00:30:42,560
Speaker 10: death threats, threatening my life, kill me, go ahead, kill me,

553
00:30:42,720 --> 00:30:45,320
Speaker 10: because you know what as Fred Hampton said, you can

554
00:30:45,440 --> 00:30:48,360
Speaker 10: kill the revolutionary, but you can't kill.

555
00:30:48,200 --> 00:30:49,680
Speaker 3: The revolution.

556
00:30:50,640 --> 00:30:54,240
Speaker 6: All right, I think you want to be saying about

557
00:30:54,280 --> 00:30:57,280
Speaker 6: the ag right now. There's a couple of other clips

558
00:30:57,280 --> 00:31:00,200
Speaker 6: of him taunting, taunting, Pambondy. I don't think that went

559
00:31:00,280 --> 00:31:04,000
Speaker 6: very well for him. Bobby Charles running for governor in Maine.

560
00:31:04,640 --> 00:31:06,280
Speaker 6: He's been waiting a while to come on with us.

561
00:31:06,280 --> 00:31:06,680
Speaker 1: Thank you.

562
00:31:08,000 --> 00:31:10,280
Speaker 6: And I think you have a big legal background, if

563
00:31:10,320 --> 00:31:13,280
Speaker 6: I remember from our last conversation. Have you heard of

564
00:31:13,360 --> 00:31:17,120
Speaker 6: a judge like in Minneapolis, as reported by CBS and

565
00:31:17,240 --> 00:31:20,080
Speaker 6: Daily Wire, refusing to sign off on a complaint for

566
00:31:20,800 --> 00:31:23,280
Speaker 6: charges to be brought. Do you have you experienced that

567
00:31:23,360 --> 00:31:24,040
Speaker 6: in your career?

568
00:31:25,720 --> 00:31:30,280
Speaker 11: Actually no, I never have. I you know, politics has

569
00:31:30,320 --> 00:31:34,160
Speaker 11: infused itself into the judiciary now in ways that it

570
00:31:34,200 --> 00:31:36,479
Speaker 11: never was before. And I was a litigator in New

571
00:31:36,600 --> 00:31:39,600
Speaker 11: York and in Maine and in you know, DC, and

572
00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:42,040
Speaker 11: I clerked on the Ninth Circuit Us Court Appeals. I

573
00:31:42,080 --> 00:31:45,240
Speaker 11: never saw a judge not sign off on a valid complaint,

574
00:31:45,240 --> 00:31:50,080
Speaker 11: and particularly complaint from the Attorney General of the United States.

575
00:31:49,720 --> 00:31:52,040
Speaker 11: I just, you know, to be honest, I called in

576
00:31:52,080 --> 00:31:54,800
Speaker 11: with just two simple points and I just leave your

577
00:31:54,960 --> 00:31:56,600
Speaker 11: listenership with him, and I don't want to take up

578
00:31:56,600 --> 00:31:58,880
Speaker 11: your line. In addition to the fact that we are

579
00:31:58,960 --> 00:32:01,120
Speaker 11: up by double digits and state and very likely to

580
00:32:01,120 --> 00:32:04,640
Speaker 11: become the next governor, the first point is that we

581
00:32:04,760 --> 00:32:08,520
Speaker 11: are living Maine is the next Minnesota. A spoiler alert,

582
00:32:08,640 --> 00:32:11,000
Speaker 11: We are living in a state here in Maine where

583
00:32:11,080 --> 00:32:15,040
Speaker 11: the governor, the Secretary of State, and others, including down

584
00:32:15,120 --> 00:32:19,400
Speaker 11: to the mayor level, are provoking, in my opinion, violence.

585
00:32:20,000 --> 00:32:23,880
Speaker 11: Our Secretary of State blocked the issuance of undercover license

586
00:32:23,880 --> 00:32:27,920
Speaker 11: plates for ICE last week. She directed that anybody who

587
00:32:27,960 --> 00:32:31,640
Speaker 11: sees ICE that is a government employee needs to let

588
00:32:31,640 --> 00:32:35,040
Speaker 11: her know, presumably so if you stalk, and then she

589
00:32:35,120 --> 00:32:37,640
Speaker 11: can tell the so called nonprofits that are involved in

590
00:32:37,680 --> 00:32:40,479
Speaker 11: fraud and illegal immigration up here that they can harbor

591
00:32:41,160 --> 00:32:42,880
Speaker 11: those people get them out of the way. And the

592
00:32:42,920 --> 00:32:46,440
Speaker 11: thirche thing she did is she directed our DMV employees,

593
00:32:46,520 --> 00:32:48,840
Speaker 11: even though there's a federal statute saying that they should

594
00:32:48,920 --> 00:32:52,920
Speaker 11: and can report illegal aliens to ICE, that they not

595
00:32:53,120 --> 00:32:55,520
Speaker 11: do so. So you know, the second big thing I'm

596
00:32:55,520 --> 00:32:58,160
Speaker 11: just going to say, and it's very simple, is we're

597
00:32:58,200 --> 00:33:01,960
Speaker 11: living in an environment nationwide Minneapolis happens to be the

598
00:33:02,040 --> 00:33:04,720
Speaker 11: current flash point. It may well be that Lewiston, Maine

599
00:33:04,760 --> 00:33:07,680
Speaker 11: or Portland, Maine become the next flash point, in which

600
00:33:07,800 --> 00:33:11,800
Speaker 11: you have leftist groups and leftist officials who are who

601
00:33:11,840 --> 00:33:14,560
Speaker 11: are literally in the business of trying to incite without

602
00:33:14,600 --> 00:33:18,000
Speaker 11: appearing that they're inciting. And I will tell you that

603
00:33:18,040 --> 00:33:21,080
Speaker 11: as a former litigator and as a former federal investigator,

604
00:33:21,360 --> 00:33:23,840
Speaker 11: I did the Waco hearings. I was one of newt

605
00:33:23,840 --> 00:33:28,240
Speaker 11: Gingrich's top investigators for five years. We have a statute,

606
00:33:28,280 --> 00:33:32,120
Speaker 11: it's an obstruction statute eighteen Usc. Fifteen oh one, fifteen

607
00:33:32,160 --> 00:33:35,160
Speaker 11: oh five, fifteen ten, which is interference with the criminal

608
00:33:35,160 --> 00:33:38,160
Speaker 11: investigations that I think were at the moment where the

609
00:33:38,160 --> 00:33:41,880
Speaker 11: federal government should look at these not just private individuals

610
00:33:41,880 --> 00:33:44,760
Speaker 11: and not just these nonprofits pushing illegal aliens, but look

611
00:33:44,760 --> 00:33:47,200
Speaker 11: at people like the Secretary of State Maine, who incidentally

612
00:33:47,680 --> 00:33:50,520
Speaker 11: is leading on the left to become the governor. And

613
00:33:50,720 --> 00:33:52,240
Speaker 11: I think she hasn't got a chance. But on the

614
00:33:52,240 --> 00:33:55,720
Speaker 11: other hand, the machine is strong here. She is provoking

615
00:33:55,760 --> 00:33:58,000
Speaker 11: people in such a way that I think it violates

616
00:33:58,120 --> 00:34:00,840
Speaker 11: eighteen Usc. Fifteen ten. And I think you know, at

617
00:34:00,880 --> 00:34:04,120
Speaker 11: a certain point you have to at least alert people

618
00:34:04,360 --> 00:34:08,760
Speaker 11: that if you are obstructing justice intentionally out there trying

619
00:34:08,800 --> 00:34:12,560
Speaker 11: to rile people up, that there are federal consequences.

620
00:34:13,600 --> 00:34:15,600
Speaker 1: Well, thank you for the call. I love this.

621
00:34:15,719 --> 00:34:18,080
Speaker 6: How can people who are in Maine right now listening

622
00:34:18,120 --> 00:34:19,880
Speaker 6: to you and saying, boy, that sounds good, what can

623
00:34:19,920 --> 00:34:20,600
Speaker 6: they do to help?

624
00:34:21,920 --> 00:34:24,120
Speaker 11: Well, we are, I mean, we are just charging ahead.

625
00:34:24,160 --> 00:34:27,200
Speaker 11: This campaign has gone vertical. It's the first time since

626
00:34:27,239 --> 00:34:30,040
Speaker 11: nineteen sixty two that it looks like we could even

627
00:34:30,040 --> 00:34:32,520
Speaker 11: get a majority rather than a plurality victory and win

628
00:34:32,600 --> 00:34:35,040
Speaker 11: the House and Senate, so this state could turn red.

629
00:34:35,120 --> 00:34:38,560
Speaker 11: I encourage them all go to bobbyfour Maine dot com.

630
00:34:38,920 --> 00:34:41,040
Speaker 11: Every dollar counts. I'm the Jimmy Stewart guy in this,

631
00:34:41,200 --> 00:34:43,960
Speaker 11: not the mister Potter. So every dollar counts. And again

632
00:34:44,000 --> 00:34:46,160
Speaker 11: it's just bobbyfmaine dot com.

633
00:34:46,440 --> 00:34:49,240
Speaker 6: Thank you, sir, good luck. We want you to continue

634
00:34:49,239 --> 00:34:51,960
Speaker 6: to fight the good fight up there. Larry and o'kalla

635
00:34:52,040 --> 00:34:54,360
Speaker 6: he's not happy. Okayala is a great place in Florida.

636
00:34:54,400 --> 00:34:57,560
Speaker 6: You spend any time there, Buck, I've never been to o'calla.

637
00:34:57,960 --> 00:34:59,480
Speaker 6: It's a good spot. What do you got for us?

638
00:34:59,560 --> 00:35:01,680
Speaker 1: Larry Man? Is great?

639
00:35:01,840 --> 00:35:05,160
Speaker 5: Good weather getting a little too big. But you know,

640
00:35:05,440 --> 00:35:09,799
Speaker 5: everywhere everywhere is I guess especially in Florida. Man, I

641
00:35:09,840 --> 00:35:12,760
Speaker 5: think people are missing why we voted for Donald Trump

642
00:35:12,800 --> 00:35:15,799
Speaker 5: the first time. In the first place. We had been

643
00:35:15,880 --> 00:35:20,040
Speaker 5: lied to over and over about repealing Obamacare. We're gonna

644
00:35:20,080 --> 00:35:23,600
Speaker 5: shrink the size of government, We're gonna reduce spending. The

645
00:35:23,640 --> 00:35:26,480
Speaker 5: Republicans lied to us and lied to us and lied

646
00:35:26,520 --> 00:35:29,800
Speaker 5: to us. And then they give us, you know, Ted Cruz,

647
00:35:29,880 --> 00:35:32,359
Speaker 5: they gave us Marco Rubio. They gave us all these

648
00:35:32,400 --> 00:35:34,879
Speaker 5: other candidates that we you know that that we were

649
00:35:34,880 --> 00:35:38,200
Speaker 5: gonna pick from that, our conservatives, and we said no,

650
00:35:38,640 --> 00:35:40,720
Speaker 5: and we said, the only way that we can stick

651
00:35:40,760 --> 00:35:43,360
Speaker 5: our finger in the eye of the Republican Party is

652
00:35:43,360 --> 00:35:46,560
Speaker 5: to vote for Donald Trump, the guy who acted like

653
00:35:46,640 --> 00:35:49,919
Speaker 5: a Democrat, but it was a closetive conservative, which was okay.

654
00:35:49,960 --> 00:35:52,160
Speaker 1: So let me let me ask you this. I got you, Larry.

655
00:35:52,200 --> 00:35:54,160
Speaker 1: You're not happy with Trump first year.

656
00:35:56,160 --> 00:35:58,759
Speaker 5: Uh no, not at all, not even a little bit.

657
00:35:59,040 --> 00:36:01,720
Speaker 5: Now you have to take out all the things about

658
00:36:01,719 --> 00:36:04,080
Speaker 5: the border and all this kind of stuff. Those are

659
00:36:04,239 --> 00:36:05,600
Speaker 5: easy problems that we.

660
00:36:05,640 --> 00:36:09,439
Speaker 6: Have, Hilarry, hold on, hold on, Larry, let me pause

661
00:36:09,480 --> 00:36:11,879
Speaker 6: you here for a sec I would suggest shutting down

662
00:36:11,880 --> 00:36:14,000
Speaker 6: the border and making it the most secure it's ever

663
00:36:14,040 --> 00:36:16,440
Speaker 6: been in the history of our country. And also, if

664
00:36:16,440 --> 00:36:20,520
Speaker 6: you were listening earlier, having the lowest murder rate in

665
00:36:20,600 --> 00:36:24,920
Speaker 6: the country since nineteen hundred, record high stock prices, I

666
00:36:24,960 --> 00:36:28,319
Speaker 6: would suggest those are pretty good accomplishments in general, and

667
00:36:28,400 --> 00:36:30,000
Speaker 6: not that easy to do, or else we would have

668
00:36:30,000 --> 00:36:33,200
Speaker 6: done them before, easily done.

669
00:36:33,239 --> 00:36:35,560
Speaker 5: Trump did it in less than a year, very easily done.

670
00:36:35,760 --> 00:36:39,920
Speaker 5: The difference is the Republican Party don't want it, they

671
00:36:39,920 --> 00:36:41,960
Speaker 5: don't have the stummach for it. They just won't do

672
00:36:42,440 --> 00:36:46,319
Speaker 5: what's required to be done. And also, whenever they pass

673
00:36:46,360 --> 00:36:49,560
Speaker 5: the tax cut, they make it permanent for the corporate

674
00:36:49,600 --> 00:36:52,960
Speaker 5: class and then make it temporary for the taxpayer. And

675
00:36:53,000 --> 00:36:55,120
Speaker 5: then then they come back and say, well, in order

676
00:36:55,160 --> 00:36:57,640
Speaker 5: to keep the tax cuts, we got to make this big,

677
00:36:57,760 --> 00:36:58,839
Speaker 5: massive spending bill.

678
00:36:59,000 --> 00:37:01,400
Speaker 6: So you would so, okay, let me ask you this, Larry,

679
00:37:01,480 --> 00:37:04,400
Speaker 6: if it were twenty twenty four all over again, you

680
00:37:04,440 --> 00:37:06,600
Speaker 6: would not vote for Trump based on what you've seen

681
00:37:06,640 --> 00:37:08,160
Speaker 6: so far in year one.

682
00:37:09,960 --> 00:37:15,960
Speaker 5: Well, let me ask you answer, Larry, who would you

683
00:37:16,000 --> 00:37:16,480
Speaker 5: vote for?

684
00:37:16,840 --> 00:37:19,759
Speaker 1: Are you a white dude for Harris? Do you think

685
00:37:19,840 --> 00:37:21,239
Speaker 1: Kamalo would have done a better job.

686
00:37:21,440 --> 00:37:25,600
Speaker 5: Your argument, the argument for the two party system is

687
00:37:25,680 --> 00:37:29,439
Speaker 5: old and outdated. We can no longer say that, Oh well,

688
00:37:29,480 --> 00:37:31,400
Speaker 5: if you can't vote Republican, who are you going to

689
00:37:31,480 --> 00:37:31,840
Speaker 5: vote for?

690
00:37:32,040 --> 00:37:34,160
Speaker 6: Okay, I'm just asking you if you could go back

691
00:37:34,200 --> 00:37:36,319
Speaker 6: in time. You're unhappy, But I'm just saying, if you

692
00:37:36,480 --> 00:37:38,239
Speaker 6: go back in time, you would not vote for Trump

693
00:37:38,280 --> 00:37:39,919
Speaker 6: because you're so unhappy with this year.

694
00:37:41,480 --> 00:37:44,719
Speaker 5: I would not vote for Trump for this reason. I'm

695
00:37:44,719 --> 00:37:47,759
Speaker 5: a service technician by trade. I diagnosed problems and then

696
00:37:47,800 --> 00:37:50,160
Speaker 5: create solutions to fix them. That's what I do for

697
00:37:50,200 --> 00:37:52,560
Speaker 5: a living. The first thing we have to do is

698
00:37:52,680 --> 00:37:56,319
Speaker 5: diagnose the problem, and the Republican Party not listening to

699
00:37:56,360 --> 00:37:58,240
Speaker 5: its voters is the problem.

700
00:37:58,400 --> 00:38:01,080
Speaker 6: And once we have that, thank you Larry, Larry, Thank

701
00:38:01,120 --> 00:38:03,319
Speaker 6: you Larry. I appreciate you diagnosing the problem. I live

702
00:38:03,400 --> 00:38:05,720
Speaker 6: with Larry's passion. I do like Larry's passion.

703
00:38:05,880 --> 00:38:07,560
Speaker 2: I think he's not the guy you want to call

704
00:38:07,600 --> 00:38:10,319
Speaker 2: at two am if your HVAC goes down, though, I

705
00:38:10,320 --> 00:38:11,920
Speaker 2: feel like he might be pretty ticked off.

706
00:38:11,960 --> 00:38:14,040
Speaker 6: I would just say, look, there is a segment. I

707
00:38:14,120 --> 00:38:17,680
Speaker 6: looked at what's the number. There's something like Trump has

708
00:38:17,719 --> 00:38:21,319
Speaker 6: the highest approval rating. Among the Republicans I think that

709
00:38:21,400 --> 00:38:23,960
Speaker 6: he's ever had in his entire political career.

710
00:38:24,040 --> 00:38:24,479
Speaker 1: Right now.

711
00:38:24,920 --> 00:38:28,480
Speaker 6: That doesn't mean that everybody is in the still Trump camp,

712
00:38:28,520 --> 00:38:32,719
Speaker 6: but I really think I mean, again, the lowest murder

713
00:38:32,760 --> 00:38:37,560
Speaker 6: rate since nineteen hundred, a completely secure border, a record

714
00:38:37,640 --> 00:38:42,960
Speaker 6: high stock prices, rapidly accelerating growth rate in the country,

715
00:38:43,120 --> 00:38:47,359
Speaker 6: and inflation that has come down. I think it's hard

716
00:38:47,400 --> 00:38:49,279
Speaker 6: to If you had told me a year ago that

717
00:38:49,320 --> 00:38:51,239
Speaker 6: we were going to have the lowest murder rate since

718
00:38:51,320 --> 00:38:54,200
Speaker 6: nineteen hundred and that we would have zero people crossing

719
00:38:54,280 --> 00:38:57,200
Speaker 6: illegally into the country, I would have thought that was very,

720
00:38:57,280 --> 00:39:00,000
Speaker 6: very difficult to accomplish. And Trump has done it. In fact,

721
00:39:00,080 --> 00:39:01,879
Speaker 6: I would have said, there's no way that's gonna happen.

722
00:39:02,480 --> 00:39:05,080
Speaker 6: Ransom in Columbus, Ohio.

723
00:39:04,719 --> 00:39:10,399
Speaker 12: Ransom, you guys got the golden microphone, and Rush would

724
00:39:10,400 --> 00:39:11,880
Speaker 12: be proud of you.

725
00:39:11,520 --> 00:39:12,520
Speaker 1: Thank you.

726
00:39:12,680 --> 00:39:16,520
Speaker 12: Just a couple of comments. As far as Minnesota goes,

727
00:39:17,960 --> 00:39:22,839
Speaker 12: they're doing the hearings in Washington. All the state politicians

728
00:39:22,840 --> 00:39:27,080
Speaker 12: are testifying with you know, being sworn in for perjury

729
00:39:27,120 --> 00:39:29,520
Speaker 12: if they lie, and every one of them have come

730
00:39:29,520 --> 00:39:32,880
Speaker 12: out and said that they believe the walls and the

731
00:39:32,960 --> 00:39:36,920
Speaker 12: ag knew that all this frog is going on. So

732
00:39:37,000 --> 00:39:40,440
Speaker 12: I would say that I would like Pam Body to

733
00:39:41,360 --> 00:39:44,680
Speaker 12: do conspiracy charge against both of those guys, and then

734
00:39:44,760 --> 00:39:50,280
Speaker 12: she should take on a French fry mayor there in Minneapolis,

735
00:39:50,440 --> 00:39:53,480
Speaker 12: because once one politician goes down, guess what, they're the

736
00:39:53,560 --> 00:39:56,480
Speaker 12: president And Clay, you're a lawyer. Do you know that

737
00:39:56,520 --> 00:39:59,439
Speaker 12: if you have a president for one thing, then it's

738
00:39:59,520 --> 00:40:01,880
Speaker 12: easier to trying the next case. And I would like

739
00:40:01,960 --> 00:40:04,480
Speaker 12: them to come and get my mayor in Columbus, Ohio

740
00:40:04,760 --> 00:40:07,600
Speaker 12: because he's labeled to a sanctuary. I'm sitting and the

741
00:40:07,719 --> 00:40:10,799
Speaker 12: chief of police and they said fully on the video

742
00:40:10,880 --> 00:40:13,040
Speaker 12: and you can check it out that they sit it

743
00:40:13,040 --> 00:40:14,719
Speaker 12: in no living shape or form. They want to help

744
00:40:14,800 --> 00:40:16,759
Speaker 12: ice and we just got a big raide there. So

745
00:40:17,160 --> 00:40:19,719
Speaker 12: all these little people that think that they're great fault,

746
00:40:20,280 --> 00:40:22,279
Speaker 12: they need to be accountable to the voters who gave

747
00:40:22,320 --> 00:40:25,560
Speaker 12: them their trust. And I appreciate you guys. And the

748
00:40:25,760 --> 00:40:27,759
Speaker 12: last thing I want to say is can you beat

749
00:40:27,840 --> 00:40:31,600
Speaker 12: the band on the bud light thing that you did

750
00:40:31,760 --> 00:40:34,920
Speaker 12: about a year ago, because you guys, caw, you hammered

751
00:40:34,960 --> 00:40:37,840
Speaker 12: that thing and next thing you know, bud Light conformed

752
00:40:37,880 --> 00:40:40,080
Speaker 12: to the will of the people. We need to get

753
00:40:40,239 --> 00:40:43,799
Speaker 12: our federal judgment in there. Trump can have a great

754
00:40:43,880 --> 00:40:47,279
Speaker 12: eating three years here and then you want to have

755
00:40:47,400 --> 00:40:50,320
Speaker 12: these problems with these magistrates not signing off of the

756
00:40:50,440 --> 00:40:52,640
Speaker 12: right thing. And I appreciate you guys, thank you.

757
00:40:52,800 --> 00:40:54,120
Speaker 1: Well, thank you for calling. He had a lot of

758
00:40:54,200 --> 00:40:54,640
Speaker 1: things there.

759
00:40:54,719 --> 00:40:57,240
Speaker 6: I do think in the years ahead, what he pointed

760
00:40:57,239 --> 00:40:58,880
Speaker 6: out about bud Light, I think it was one of

761
00:40:58,920 --> 00:41:05,160
Speaker 6: the most transformative of consequential anti woke responses that we've

762
00:41:05,200 --> 00:41:08,319
Speaker 6: seen on any level. And I think it changed fundamentally

763
00:41:08,440 --> 00:41:11,640
Speaker 6: the way that most not all, but most companies in

764
00:41:11,719 --> 00:41:15,120
Speaker 6: America do business and dragged everybody back to the middle

765
00:41:15,160 --> 00:41:19,239
Speaker 6: part of the country and sanity as opposed to insanity.

766
00:41:19,680 --> 00:41:23,479
Speaker 6: Look what he's hitting at is I think a real

767
00:41:23,680 --> 00:41:27,880
Speaker 6: question that is very valid, and that is how in

768
00:41:27,960 --> 00:41:32,120
Speaker 6: the world can mayors and governors defy federal law and

769
00:41:32,360 --> 00:41:35,560
Speaker 6: do the sanctuary city aspects. And it was one thing

770
00:41:35,600 --> 00:41:39,359
Speaker 6: when Biden was in office, and you could then say

771
00:41:39,440 --> 00:41:42,520
Speaker 6: the immigration policy somewhat signed off and agreed on those

772
00:41:42,960 --> 00:41:46,080
Speaker 6: I think it's a real question that's valid across the

773
00:41:46,160 --> 00:41:52,359
Speaker 6: country and we will see. I will just say buck

774
00:41:52,440 --> 00:41:54,399
Speaker 6: as we go to break here and you take us out.

775
00:41:55,200 --> 00:41:58,439
Speaker 6: One of the most interesting things about these arrests in Minneapolis,

776
00:41:59,040 --> 00:42:01,880
Speaker 6: Democrats are on the back heels and they're not fighting

777
00:42:02,000 --> 00:42:06,239
Speaker 6: these arrests at all. I think the protests in Minneapolis,

778
00:42:06,280 --> 00:42:09,919
Speaker 6: which they thought initially were going to benefit them quite significantly,

779
00:42:10,920 --> 00:42:14,600
Speaker 6: maybe the numbers they're seeing nationwide aren't reflecting that most

780
00:42:14,640 --> 00:42:20,120
Speaker 6: Americans agree that these protesters are making the Democrat Party

781
00:42:20,200 --> 00:42:22,680
Speaker 6: look better. And now that it's starting to get super

782
00:42:22,800 --> 00:42:26,440
Speaker 6: cold in Minneapolis, I wonder whether the word is going

783
00:42:26,480 --> 00:42:28,560
Speaker 6: to go out, hey, guys, that this is not the

784
00:42:28,640 --> 00:42:30,480
Speaker 6: win that we thought it was going to be because

785
00:42:30,560 --> 00:42:33,000
Speaker 6: they're not standing up for these guys getting arrested right

786
00:42:33,040 --> 00:42:37,719
Speaker 6: now at all. Look, home break ins occur twice every

787
00:42:37,800 --> 00:42:40,800
Speaker 6: minute on average nationwide. Now, Trump's done a lot to

788
00:42:40,880 --> 00:42:43,000
Speaker 6: bring down the murder rate nation why, which is fantastic,

789
00:42:43,040 --> 00:42:44,880
Speaker 6: but unfortunate. There's still a lot of burglary, a lot

790
00:42:44,920 --> 00:42:47,440
Speaker 6: of home invasions that happen, and that's just the reality

791
00:42:47,480 --> 00:42:50,200
Speaker 6: of the country we're in for the foreseeables. So you

792
00:42:50,360 --> 00:42:52,640
Speaker 6: need to tend your own defense, that of your family,

793
00:42:52,840 --> 00:42:56,600
Speaker 6: your household, and Saber has the best non lethal products

794
00:42:56,680 --> 00:42:59,520
Speaker 6: on the market for this. The Saber Home Defense Launcher,

795
00:42:59,600 --> 00:43:04,480
Speaker 6: for example, has seven powerful pepper projectiles that will stop

796
00:43:04,600 --> 00:43:07,719
Speaker 6: the threat in a non lethal fashion. Because when you

797
00:43:07,800 --> 00:43:10,840
Speaker 6: need to defend yourself, having extra stopping power can change everything.

798
00:43:11,120 --> 00:43:13,359
Speaker 6: And protection doesn't stop at your front door when you're

799
00:43:13,400 --> 00:43:16,200
Speaker 6: on the move. Saber pepper sprays, pepper gels, and stun

800
00:43:16,320 --> 00:43:20,360
Speaker 6: guns give you compact, reliable protection wherever life takes you.

801
00:43:20,440 --> 00:43:24,399
Speaker 6: When safety matters, America chooses Saber, the number one brand

802
00:43:24,480 --> 00:43:29,600
Speaker 6: trusted by law enforcement and people nationwide. Saber is how

813
00:43:59,200 --> 00:44:03,240
Speaker 2: can't believe how fast things are flowing along today. Gavin

814
00:44:03,320 --> 00:44:10,040
Speaker 2: Newsom aka Evil Keanu, reeves he is coming back, I

815
00:44:10,120 --> 00:44:14,480
Speaker 2: assume shortly, if he's not already from Davos, where he,

816
00:44:14,680 --> 00:44:16,799
Speaker 2: as I understand it, did not actually get to give

817
00:44:16,800 --> 00:44:17,759
Speaker 2: a speech last minute.

818
00:44:17,840 --> 00:44:18,640
Speaker 1: Very upset about this.

819
00:44:18,800 --> 00:44:22,720
Speaker 2: Gavin is no surprise I hear he's flying his shirt

820
00:44:22,840 --> 00:44:27,440
Speaker 2: at half masked play He's only got it buttoned halfway right.

821
00:44:27,400 --> 00:44:29,800
Speaker 1: Now, which is this is this is funny.

822
00:44:30,360 --> 00:44:33,800
Speaker 6: You know, our friend Alexi Wallace ridiculed me recently for

823
00:44:34,120 --> 00:44:38,640
Speaker 6: buttoning my shirts too tall, too high up. Alexi's like

824
00:44:38,719 --> 00:44:41,600
Speaker 6: Gavin Newsom, also a California and he's like, basically, you

825
00:44:41,680 --> 00:44:44,640
Speaker 6: should be unbuttoned down to the navel. But it is

826
00:44:44,719 --> 00:44:47,560
Speaker 6: funny with Gavin Newsom. He he is the he's got

827
00:44:47,719 --> 00:44:49,360
Speaker 6: multiple different buttons undone.

828
00:44:50,080 --> 00:44:52,520
Speaker 2: We have a we have a California expert who's joining

829
00:44:52,600 --> 00:44:55,640
Speaker 2: us now, Katie Zacharii, a political legal commentator out on

830
00:44:55,760 --> 00:44:58,520
Speaker 2: the West Coast. And Katie, thanks for being with us

831
00:44:58,640 --> 00:45:01,000
Speaker 2: with us again you can way in on this. First

832
00:45:01,040 --> 00:45:04,640
Speaker 2: of all, Gavin Newsom, is he just doing what Californians

833
00:45:04,719 --> 00:45:06,960
Speaker 2: do by having his shirt on button to his navel

834
00:45:07,120 --> 00:45:07,480
Speaker 2: or is this.

835
00:45:08,120 --> 00:45:09,240
Speaker 1: Specific to Gavin?

836
00:45:09,719 --> 00:45:13,040
Speaker 2: Also, what happened to his Davos speech and why is

837
00:45:13,080 --> 00:45:14,680
Speaker 2: he in Davos in the first place.

838
00:45:16,080 --> 00:45:18,760
Speaker 13: Well, he's in Davos as everyone has said, to troll

839
00:45:18,840 --> 00:45:22,600
Speaker 13: President Trump, and extremely unsuccessfully. He was there ahead of

840
00:45:22,680 --> 00:45:26,640
Speaker 13: him and then just absolutely got eviscerated and left in

841
00:45:26,719 --> 00:45:29,279
Speaker 13: the corner as we all saw in the little kid's

842
00:45:29,320 --> 00:45:32,200
Speaker 13: table when President Trump walked in the room, and he

843
00:45:32,280 --> 00:45:35,040
Speaker 13: should have been disinvited from the US House when he

844
00:45:35,120 --> 00:45:38,360
Speaker 13: was going to give this interview with Fortune after denigrating

845
00:45:38,400 --> 00:45:40,000
Speaker 13: the President who's working.

846
00:45:39,840 --> 00:45:43,279
Speaker 3: A historic, historic national.

847
00:45:43,000 --> 00:45:47,440
Speaker 13: Security deal with Greenland of which our children, grandchildren and

848
00:45:47,520 --> 00:45:51,120
Speaker 13: their grandchildren will reap the benefits of Gavin Newsom has

849
00:45:51,200 --> 00:45:53,799
Speaker 13: nothing better to do, although I could find some things

850
00:45:53,880 --> 00:45:58,120
Speaker 13: out in California than to go and criticize President Trump.

851
00:45:58,000 --> 00:46:01,480
Speaker 3: For a Board of Peace and uh, you know.

852
00:46:01,640 --> 00:46:05,960
Speaker 13: Greenland acquiring Greenland and will do so without any military force.

853
00:46:06,120 --> 00:46:08,919
Speaker 3: So he doesn't deserve a seat at the big kids table.

854
00:46:09,080 --> 00:46:14,120
Speaker 1: Honestly, it is funny. Did you see I think he

855
00:46:14,360 --> 00:46:17,320
Speaker 1: was called sparkle Kin or something like that.

856
00:46:17,600 --> 00:46:20,600
Speaker 6: Now, Buck, you watched the Barb movie, right, if I

857
00:46:20,719 --> 00:46:23,600
Speaker 6: recall and said it was trash, I never watched it.

858
00:46:24,160 --> 00:46:26,160
Speaker 2: I couldn't even I couldn't even get through it. Couldn't

859
00:46:26,160 --> 00:46:28,399
Speaker 2: even get through it tried. It was garbage. I don't

860
00:46:28,400 --> 00:46:30,759
Speaker 2: care if anybody says the only reason I anyone watched

861
00:46:30,760 --> 00:46:31,520
Speaker 2: it was nostalgia.

862
00:46:31,600 --> 00:46:34,480
Speaker 6: It's a garbage movie. So Katie, is that inaccurate? I'm

863
00:46:34,520 --> 00:46:37,200
Speaker 6: betting that you This may be typecasting, but my wife

864
00:46:37,239 --> 00:46:39,160
Speaker 6: saw it. I bet most women saw it. I'm betting

865
00:46:39,200 --> 00:46:42,520
Speaker 6: you saw the Barbie movie. Is sparkle Kin a good

866
00:46:42,640 --> 00:46:44,360
Speaker 6: description of Gavin Newsom?

867
00:46:45,640 --> 00:46:48,960
Speaker 3: Definitely type casting? I did not watch it, Oh I am,

868
00:46:49,560 --> 00:46:51,959
Speaker 3: I am. I'm not much of a movie buff.

869
00:46:52,040 --> 00:46:53,840
Speaker 13: And if I do watch a movie, it's gonna be

870
00:46:54,000 --> 00:46:57,520
Speaker 13: like a Brave Heart or a Gladiator type of movie.

871
00:46:57,880 --> 00:47:02,600
Speaker 1: And that's that's Clay's wife's favorite movie. Wherever. Welcome on

872
00:47:02,640 --> 00:47:03,120
Speaker 1: the program.

873
00:47:03,360 --> 00:47:08,719
Speaker 13: Yeah, great movie, one of the best, and honestly, Secretary

874
00:47:08,800 --> 00:47:11,920
Speaker 13: beston put up the meme of this or someone did

875
00:47:12,000 --> 00:47:14,920
Speaker 13: on X and that's where I saw sparkle Ken And

876
00:47:15,040 --> 00:47:18,000
Speaker 13: it does represent Gavin Newsom. But I also think, and

877
00:47:18,160 --> 00:47:21,759
Speaker 13: I keep repeating this, the severity of a governor of

878
00:47:22,280 --> 00:47:26,640
Speaker 13: a second tier governor, low rate governor going out against

879
00:47:26,760 --> 00:47:30,160
Speaker 13: President Trump needs to be taken seriously because he is the.

880
00:47:30,280 --> 00:47:31,479
Speaker 3: Democrat front runner.

881
00:47:31,560 --> 00:47:35,320
Speaker 13: I watched a call she do this entire platform on

882
00:47:35,480 --> 00:47:39,360
Speaker 13: Gavin Newsom is the not just preferred, but has soared

883
00:47:39,600 --> 00:47:43,280
Speaker 13: after this trip to Davos to basically troll President Trump

884
00:47:43,640 --> 00:47:45,520
Speaker 13: as the front runner for the Democrat Party.

885
00:47:45,840 --> 00:47:48,840
Speaker 3: And so here we land. The Democrat Party now has no.

886
00:47:49,000 --> 00:47:53,440
Speaker 13: Platform except to troll President Trump, to have wide open borders,

887
00:47:53,520 --> 00:47:56,920
Speaker 13: to defy ice, and to allow criminals to run rampant,

888
00:47:57,120 --> 00:48:00,640
Speaker 13: and to not build and rebuild a city after a

889
00:48:00,880 --> 00:48:03,320
Speaker 13: year of a two hundred and fifty billion dollars of

890
00:48:03,360 --> 00:48:07,360
Speaker 13: wildfire damage and leave, as Secretary Besson said, the residents

891
00:48:07,400 --> 00:48:11,640
Speaker 13: of California homeless while you're trolling President Trump. That's what

892
00:48:12,000 --> 00:48:15,080
Speaker 13: we have from the Democrat Party. And it's actually a

893
00:48:15,120 --> 00:48:18,759
Speaker 13: pretty serious indictment on all of the people in their

894
00:48:18,840 --> 00:48:22,040
Speaker 13: party and no policy positions, Katie.

895
00:48:21,800 --> 00:48:23,040
Speaker 1: To hit what you just said.

896
00:48:23,320 --> 00:48:27,920
Speaker 6: Cals's favorites to be nominated as the Democrat nominee in

897
00:48:28,040 --> 00:48:33,040
Speaker 6: twenty twenty eight, Gavin Newsom has a thirty five percent chance.

898
00:48:33,719 --> 00:48:37,880
Speaker 6: Second place is AOC at a ten percent chance, So

899
00:48:38,040 --> 00:48:40,640
Speaker 6: he has not only got the lead, he's got a

900
00:48:40,719 --> 00:48:45,960
Speaker 6: pretty crazy significantly Josh Shapiro eight percent chance, Kamala Harris

901
00:48:46,120 --> 00:48:50,200
Speaker 6: six percent chance. So you're right, California Governor Gavin Newsom

902
00:48:50,360 --> 00:48:53,759
Speaker 6: has soared do you think he is electable. Now, I

903
00:48:53,840 --> 00:48:56,160
Speaker 6: know he's awful, and I know he's been a disaster

904
00:48:56,320 --> 00:49:00,960
Speaker 6: for California, But take that away, is he could he

905
00:49:01,080 --> 00:49:04,560
Speaker 6: beat JD Vance, could he beat Marco Rubio? He I

906
00:49:04,719 --> 00:49:08,919
Speaker 6: think is an adroit politician, sadly, and Democrats have shown,

907
00:49:08,960 --> 00:49:11,560
Speaker 6: I mean, they almost elected Kamala Harris. I can't imagine

908
00:49:11,600 --> 00:49:13,680
Speaker 6: Gavin Newsom would be a worse candidate than her.

909
00:49:15,280 --> 00:49:17,719
Speaker 13: Right, So you look at those seven swing states that

910
00:49:17,880 --> 00:49:22,160
Speaker 13: President Trump dominated against Kamala Harris, and he can't win

911
00:49:22,600 --> 00:49:26,240
Speaker 13: a Pennsylvania and a Michigan and Wisconsin.

912
00:49:26,560 --> 00:49:26,680
Speaker 11: Right.

913
00:49:27,160 --> 00:49:30,239
Speaker 13: The first place he went was North Carolina to announce

914
00:49:30,360 --> 00:49:33,880
Speaker 13: his kind of soft campaign, but not really. He did

915
00:49:33,920 --> 00:49:36,759
Speaker 13: this squishy thing because he knows his state's a dumpster fire.

916
00:49:37,280 --> 00:49:41,480
Speaker 13: But he's basically gone to North Carolina to soft campaign

917
00:49:41,960 --> 00:49:44,720
Speaker 13: for the presidential And you look at these swing states

918
00:49:44,760 --> 00:49:47,960
Speaker 13: and I don't think it's my assessment he cannot win

919
00:49:48,280 --> 00:49:50,200
Speaker 13: those swing states against a JD.

920
00:49:50,440 --> 00:49:50,720
Speaker 4: Vance.

921
00:49:51,080 --> 00:49:52,960
Speaker 3: He doesn't work for Middle America.

922
00:49:53,440 --> 00:49:57,080
Speaker 13: The greasy kind of slick back hair in California, button

923
00:49:57,200 --> 00:50:02,040
Speaker 13: down shirt and no paulis see, it works for the media,

924
00:50:02,200 --> 00:50:05,280
Speaker 13: it works for ex hype and to have this press

925
00:50:05,400 --> 00:50:08,399
Speaker 13: room troll President Trump, but he's not running against President Trump,

926
00:50:08,480 --> 00:50:10,440
Speaker 13: as you just said, would it be JD. Vance Er,

927
00:50:10,760 --> 00:50:13,399
Speaker 13: Marco Rubio? And then he's going to have to start

928
00:50:13,440 --> 00:50:17,200
Speaker 13: falling on his policies when he's not trolling President Trump anymore?

929
00:50:17,440 --> 00:50:19,800
Speaker 3: And what does he have to stand on? And Middle America?

930
00:50:19,920 --> 00:50:23,279
Speaker 13: I think sees this in Gavin Newsom? So is he electable?

931
00:50:23,640 --> 00:50:26,640
Speaker 13: In my opinion he's not. And if the Democrat Party

932
00:50:26,719 --> 00:50:30,400
Speaker 13: continues going on with Gavin Newsom, maybe we're going to

933
00:50:30,440 --> 00:50:33,360
Speaker 13: get another clean sweep of those seven swing states with

934
00:50:33,680 --> 00:50:35,120
Speaker 13: JD or Marco.

935
00:50:36,080 --> 00:50:39,160
Speaker 2: So what's going on, Katie with I can't I can't

936
00:50:39,160 --> 00:50:41,680
Speaker 2: even believe I'm saying this that Swalwell has been considered

937
00:50:41,719 --> 00:50:45,759
Speaker 2: the front runner to take over Gavin's seat, because, first

938
00:50:45,800 --> 00:50:49,359
Speaker 2: of all, that means Clay, now you're gonna have Swallwell.

939
00:50:49,360 --> 00:50:53,040
Speaker 6: Six words down, Buck. I actually think Swalwell is worse

940
00:50:53,120 --> 00:50:55,719
Speaker 6: than Gavin Newsom. Like I don't think Gavin Newsom is

941
00:50:55,760 --> 00:51:00,279
Speaker 6: a moron. I think Swalwell is actually stupid and really

942
00:51:00,360 --> 00:51:02,400
Speaker 6: kind of diabolical in his stupidity.

943
00:51:03,840 --> 00:51:07,120
Speaker 2: All true, yes, but now there's some problem. There's some

944
00:51:07,320 --> 00:51:11,840
Speaker 2: problem with he doesn't even live in California. Do Californians

945
00:51:11,960 --> 00:51:12,920
Speaker 2: care what's going on.

946
00:51:14,600 --> 00:51:15,239
Speaker 3: California?

947
00:51:15,480 --> 00:51:18,080
Speaker 13: Well, look you have what you have, the situation of

948
00:51:18,120 --> 00:51:21,399
Speaker 13: the mortgage fraud with Letitia James. And now you look

949
00:51:21,560 --> 00:51:24,560
Speaker 13: at Swallwell, who wants to run for governor of California.

950
00:51:24,600 --> 00:51:26,359
Speaker 13: And he's not even a resident of California.

951
00:51:26,840 --> 00:51:30,040
Speaker 3: So no, he can't run. And that's that's real. And

952
00:51:30,600 --> 00:51:31,480
Speaker 3: as he was trained.

953
00:51:31,560 --> 00:51:35,400
Speaker 13: But even go back before they expose where his residency is,

954
00:51:35,719 --> 00:51:37,600
Speaker 13: he was trying to say that he was going to

955
00:51:37,800 --> 00:51:42,839
Speaker 13: revoke the driver's licenses for ICE agents. Now why are

956
00:51:43,000 --> 00:51:45,920
Speaker 13: ICE agents in California to begin with? Because Gavin Newsom

957
00:51:46,000 --> 00:51:48,120
Speaker 13: and Kamala Harris left the border wide open and we're

958
00:51:48,120 --> 00:51:52,080
Speaker 13: having to depourt criminals in our quote sanctuary state and

959
00:51:52,200 --> 00:51:56,840
Speaker 13: sanctuary jurisdiction, which all just got noticed by President Trump.

960
00:51:57,440 --> 00:51:59,200
Speaker 3: They are going to have federal.

961
00:51:58,960 --> 00:52:02,839
Speaker 13: Funding revoked every sanctuary jurisdiction across the country because they

962
00:52:02,880 --> 00:52:03,840
Speaker 13: are in violation of.

963
00:52:03,880 --> 00:52:05,120
Speaker 3: Our supremacy clause.

964
00:52:05,400 --> 00:52:08,879
Speaker 13: So Swallwell already is just falling flat on his face

965
00:52:09,080 --> 00:52:14,240
Speaker 13: because he cannot revoke the driver's licenses of ICE agency

966
00:52:14,239 --> 00:52:15,080
Speaker 13: in California.

967
00:52:15,200 --> 00:52:18,319
Speaker 3: So it's hot air. And then to see actually you're

968
00:52:18,360 --> 00:52:20,359
Speaker 3: not even a California resident. You can't run.

969
00:52:20,760 --> 00:52:24,320
Speaker 13: So now they have Swallall's out, Katie Porter and the

970
00:52:24,480 --> 00:52:27,320
Speaker 13: disastrous launch of her campaign.

971
00:52:27,520 --> 00:52:30,799
Speaker 3: She's out. So you're looking at this kind of who

972
00:52:31,040 --> 00:52:33,120
Speaker 3: is it? It's are we going to get a Republican

973
00:52:33,280 --> 00:52:34,080
Speaker 3: because again.

974
00:52:33,920 --> 00:52:38,040
Speaker 13: The Democrats are just not bringing forth candidates that are electable.

975
00:52:40,040 --> 00:52:42,600
Speaker 6: I mean, I think it's a really super interesting question

976
00:52:43,080 --> 00:52:48,759
Speaker 6: that you are asking about. At what point do you

977
00:52:48,960 --> 00:52:53,120
Speaker 6: think and are we there Californians might finally throw up

978
00:52:53,160 --> 00:52:56,040
Speaker 6: their hands and be willing to change directions Because we've

979
00:52:56,040 --> 00:52:58,040
Speaker 6: had Steve Hilton on this program a lot. I know

980
00:52:58,120 --> 00:53:01,399
Speaker 6: he's running an aggressive campaign all over the state of California.

981
00:53:02,000 --> 00:53:04,720
Speaker 6: What would it take for a Republican to be able

982
00:53:04,800 --> 00:53:08,400
Speaker 6: to win in your mind, a statewide elective office again

983
00:53:08,800 --> 00:53:09,960
Speaker 6: in the state of California.

984
00:53:11,160 --> 00:53:14,400
Speaker 13: The first thing, and I'm going to go really quickly federal,

985
00:53:14,520 --> 00:53:17,319
Speaker 13: we're starting to see an uptick of the Save Act

986
00:53:17,640 --> 00:53:20,560
Speaker 13: and this is absolutely necessary for the security of our

987
00:53:20,600 --> 00:53:23,319
Speaker 13: elections going forward and for our win of the twenty

988
00:53:23,400 --> 00:53:27,600
Speaker 13: six midterms, and then to go back to California, voter ID.

989
00:53:28,040 --> 00:53:31,200
Speaker 13: We have to have voter IDA in California we now

990
00:53:31,320 --> 00:53:35,400
Speaker 13: have it right. Currently, we have a law that was

991
00:53:35,480 --> 00:53:38,000
Speaker 13: passed in the Senate and signed by Gavin Newsom that

992
00:53:38,280 --> 00:53:41,600
Speaker 13: pole workers it is illegal to ask for a driver's

993
00:53:41,680 --> 00:53:42,719
Speaker 13: license and proof of ID.

994
00:53:42,880 --> 00:53:46,279
Speaker 3: It is illegal in California. So Carl Demayo, our.

995
00:53:46,239 --> 00:53:49,799
Speaker 13: Assemblyman, an assemblyman, led an initiative that's getting a lot

996
00:53:49,840 --> 00:53:53,520
Speaker 13: of steam, including support, verbal support and ex support from

997
00:53:53,560 --> 00:53:57,600
Speaker 13: Elon Musk on voter ID in California that is going

998
00:53:57,640 --> 00:54:00,320
Speaker 13: to be on the ballot in twenty six this this

999
00:54:00,520 --> 00:54:04,080
Speaker 13: election cycle. And once that happens, I think we're going

1000
00:54:04,160 --> 00:54:07,759
Speaker 13: to see, including with voter rolls and new conservative and

1001
00:54:07,880 --> 00:54:11,640
Speaker 13: common sense and Republican voter registration, I think we will see.

1002
00:54:11,480 --> 00:54:12,759
Speaker 3: A turnaround in California.

1003
00:54:13,160 --> 00:54:18,160
Speaker 13: I may be too optimistic and having lived in California

1004
00:54:18,239 --> 00:54:20,279
Speaker 13: my whole life, but people are sick and tired of

1005
00:54:20,360 --> 00:54:22,720
Speaker 13: these policies. They're sick and tired of the gas prices

1006
00:54:22,760 --> 00:54:26,680
Speaker 13: that are still high fours, low fives. And when we

1007
00:54:26,800 --> 00:54:29,800
Speaker 13: have voter ID and we regulate who goes to the

1008
00:54:29,920 --> 00:54:32,480
Speaker 13: ballot box to vote and you have to be a citizen,

1009
00:54:32,960 --> 00:54:35,439
Speaker 13: it's a game changer. And that's an eighty twenty issue,

1010
00:54:35,520 --> 00:54:38,480
Speaker 13: Believe it or not in California. Once that's on the ballot,

1011
00:54:38,560 --> 00:54:42,040
Speaker 13: it's an easy yes for people, and we're going to see,

1012
00:54:42,239 --> 00:54:44,680
Speaker 13: in my mind, a big shift in the electorate, big

1013
00:54:44,719 --> 00:54:47,160
Speaker 13: shift in politicians, but not in tell then not in

1014
00:54:47,400 --> 00:54:49,440
Speaker 13: I don't think twenty six is winnable right now for

1015
00:54:49,480 --> 00:54:50,920
Speaker 13: a Republican without voter ID.

1016
00:54:51,640 --> 00:54:56,719
Speaker 2: What's the status, Katie A, Sorry, Steve Hilton? What's the

1017
00:54:56,800 --> 00:55:01,759
Speaker 2: status of the wealth tax on the billionaires? Got a

1018
00:55:01,800 --> 00:55:05,920
Speaker 2: lot of media attention last few weeks. Seems like it's well,

1019
00:55:05,960 --> 00:55:10,160
Speaker 2: Minneapolis and Davos are certainly leading the news cycle right now,

1020
00:55:10,960 --> 00:55:13,799
Speaker 2: but there was seeing a little bit of a little

1021
00:55:13,840 --> 00:55:16,759
Speaker 2: bit of wow, the numbers. You know, the math doesn't math,

1022
00:55:16,840 --> 00:55:19,279
Speaker 2: as the kids say, if these billionaires leave.

1023
00:55:19,440 --> 00:55:20,400
Speaker 1: What's the latest on that.

1024
00:55:22,320 --> 00:55:25,560
Speaker 13: Yeah, that's all driven by our wonderful Rocanna. We just

1025
00:55:25,600 --> 00:55:29,040
Speaker 13: have so many great people out of California. In politics,

1026
00:55:29,440 --> 00:55:33,440
Speaker 13: Gavin Newsom has actually said he doesn't support this because

1027
00:55:33,480 --> 00:55:36,839
Speaker 13: he knows that all of the wealth will leave California.

1028
00:55:36,960 --> 00:55:39,839
Speaker 13: The status is, I think they're still trying to get

1029
00:55:39,920 --> 00:55:43,480
Speaker 13: this on the ballot, and it's it's something that's being pushed,

1030
00:55:43,560 --> 00:55:47,920
Speaker 13: But simultaneously, you have a lot of billionaires going to

1031
00:55:48,120 --> 00:55:50,799
Speaker 13: guess where Florida the Land of the Free and home

1032
00:55:50,880 --> 00:55:51,640
Speaker 13: of the brave.

1033
00:55:52,040 --> 00:55:53,080
Speaker 3: And they're trying.

1034
00:55:53,120 --> 00:55:56,240
Speaker 13: They're at least relocating their business in fifty one percent

1035
00:55:56,400 --> 00:55:59,800
Speaker 13: of their ownership or citizenships, so they're not going to

1036
00:55:59,840 --> 00:56:03,000
Speaker 13: have to pay that tax because it will be retroactive.

1037
00:56:03,360 --> 00:56:05,759
Speaker 13: It will go all the way back to the January first,

1038
00:56:05,800 --> 00:56:09,640
Speaker 13: twenty twenty six for those billionaires. So I think they're

1039
00:56:10,040 --> 00:56:12,680
Speaker 13: hedging their bets if this works, if it goes through,

1040
00:56:12,760 --> 00:56:13,960
Speaker 13: then they don't want to be part of it.

1041
00:56:14,239 --> 00:56:15,319
Speaker 3: It's it's unfortunate.

1042
00:56:17,280 --> 00:56:20,839
Speaker 2: Great to talk to you, Katy Zachariah, keep California saying

1043
00:56:21,320 --> 00:56:23,560
Speaker 2: until we can they make it great again because it

1044
00:56:23,640 --> 00:56:25,000
Speaker 2: has been a great place in the past.

1045
00:56:25,080 --> 00:56:26,239
Speaker 1: Thank you so much for being with us.

1046
00:56:27,480 --> 00:56:27,800
