1 00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:04,320 Speaker 1: Welcome everybody to the Wednesday edition of The Clay Travis 2 00:00:04,480 --> 00:00:09,120 Speaker 1: and Buck Sexton Show. Appreciate you being here. Was quite 3 00:00:09,119 --> 00:00:11,560 Speaker 1: a speech last night. Some people are saying the greatest 4 00:00:11,560 --> 00:00:15,680 Speaker 1: speech of all presidential speeches in recent history. For sure, 5 00:00:16,640 --> 00:00:19,520 Speaker 1: President Trump did a phenomenal job. Clocked in at I 6 00:00:19,520 --> 00:00:23,319 Speaker 1: think it was over two hours. Definitely was a lengthy one. 7 00:00:23,400 --> 00:00:27,760 Speaker 1: The President lighting it up, America is back, that was 8 00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:32,200 Speaker 1: at the very top, dawn of the Golden Age, and 9 00:00:33,159 --> 00:00:37,680 Speaker 1: a lot of positivity, a lot of good things going 10 00:00:37,720 --> 00:00:40,520 Speaker 1: on in this speech. And Clay, we're gonna work through 11 00:00:40,560 --> 00:00:42,839 Speaker 1: it piece by piece. I just I will start with 12 00:00:42,920 --> 00:00:48,839 Speaker 1: this assessment. There is both a sense of tremendous optimism 13 00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:53,720 Speaker 1: and a bulliance on the right about where all of 14 00:00:53,760 --> 00:00:56,600 Speaker 1: this is going. It's been a heck of a first 15 00:00:56,640 --> 00:01:01,440 Speaker 1: month for Trump and then the left, the Democrats seem 16 00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:04,640 Speaker 1: to have nothing other than pouting. I didn't even stay 17 00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:07,200 Speaker 1: up to watch the Alyssa Slotkin rebuttal, I'll tell you 18 00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:10,080 Speaker 1: the truth. It was late. I had to switch time zones. 19 00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:12,480 Speaker 1: I'm an old man, so I had to check it 20 00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:17,160 Speaker 1: out this morning. I understand that they feel they have 21 00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:19,000 Speaker 1: to do. I actually don't think they have to do this. 22 00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:22,360 Speaker 1: I think that this is an outdated model. But the 23 00:01:22,360 --> 00:01:28,919 Speaker 1: bigger thing from the Democrats wasn't just the incredibly wimpy response, worthless, 24 00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:34,160 Speaker 1: really forgettable response officially to Trump's address to Congress, but 25 00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:39,960 Speaker 1: the childishness of the Democrats in attendance does deserve some 26 00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:42,400 Speaker 1: of our attention, because all of you are familiar with 27 00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:47,400 Speaker 1: the massive accomplishments of Trump's first term, of Trump's now 28 00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:52,560 Speaker 1: first month of his second term, and the plans for 29 00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:57,080 Speaker 1: the future are incredibly exciting for those of us who 30 00:01:57,080 --> 00:01:59,120 Speaker 1: want to see this Golden Age unfold, who want to 31 00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:02,960 Speaker 1: see America at its absolute best. Democrats are having a 32 00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:06,720 Speaker 1: tough time with that whole concept. You had one congressman 33 00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:10,079 Speaker 1: have to be escorted out of the chamber. This is 34 00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:13,200 Speaker 1: not a good look. We'll discuss. This is not something 35 00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:15,960 Speaker 1: that the Democrat Party should be okay with a lot 36 00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:18,560 Speaker 1: of interruptions. They had these little paddles like they were 37 00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:22,200 Speaker 1: at an auction in the audience, and Klay, let's just 38 00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:24,280 Speaker 1: jump with this and you tell me what your biggest, 39 00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:28,960 Speaker 1: biggest feelings were on this. But Trump pointed out early 40 00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:31,520 Speaker 1: on it doesn't even matter what he does at this 41 00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:35,679 Speaker 1: point whether it's ending the Ukraine War or curing cancer. 42 00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:41,160 Speaker 1: Democrats are against whatever Trump is for. Trump derangement syndrome 43 00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:46,119 Speaker 1: is in its terminal stage play clip eighteen. 44 00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:50,040 Speaker 2: Here this is my fifth such speech to Congress. And 45 00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:52,679 Speaker 2: once again I look at the Democrats in front of me, 46 00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:56,680 Speaker 2: and I realize there is absolutely nothing I can say 47 00:02:56,800 --> 00:03:00,240 Speaker 2: to make them happy or to make them stand into 48 00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:02,640 Speaker 2: a smile or applaud Nothing I can do. 49 00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:05,720 Speaker 1: I could find a cure to the. 50 00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:11,600 Speaker 2: Most devastating disease, a disease that would wipe out entire nations, 51 00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:15,840 Speaker 2: or announce the answers to the greatest economy and history, 52 00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:20,320 Speaker 2: or the stoppage of crime to the lowest levels ever recorded. 53 00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:25,320 Speaker 2: And these people sitting right here will not clap, will 54 00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:30,480 Speaker 2: not stand, and certainly will not cheer for these astronomical achievements. 55 00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:34,000 Speaker 2: They won't do it, no matter what five times I've 56 00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:34,640 Speaker 2: been up here. 57 00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:39,480 Speaker 1: It's very sad, and it just shouldn't be this well. 58 00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:43,760 Speaker 1: Clay Trump was having fun. 59 00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:46,720 Speaker 3: He was, and I thought it was the best speech 60 00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:51,000 Speaker 3: of his political career. And I don't think that's hyperbole 61 00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:55,200 Speaker 3: much of it. If you strip away the politics really 62 00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:57,880 Speaker 3: boiled down to basic common sense and I guess my 63 00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:02,880 Speaker 3: biggest takeaway last night, Buck, was Democrats did what they 64 00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:06,440 Speaker 3: would have said was impossible. They made Trump look like 65 00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:09,480 Speaker 3: the adult in the room. I thought they feel they 66 00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:14,160 Speaker 3: their behavior. They looked and sounded like brats. I thought 67 00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:22,719 Speaker 3: they were behaving like poorly, poorly regulated school children. They 68 00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:31,640 Speaker 3: were adults emotionally outbursting their their Uh. It just it 69 00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:34,680 Speaker 3: felt like the Democrat Party to me, was on a 70 00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:39,560 Speaker 3: suicidal mission to destroy its brand. And to me, Buck, 71 00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:41,360 Speaker 3: there were a lot of great things Trump did. He's 72 00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:45,960 Speaker 3: always got a real narrative ability to connect, whether it 73 00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:49,320 Speaker 3: was with Lake and Riley's mom and sister, whether it 74 00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:53,719 Speaker 3: was with Joscelyn Nungerret's mother and announcing that he's going 75 00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:56,640 Speaker 3: to name a wildlife refuge after her, whether it was 76 00:04:56,680 --> 00:04:59,120 Speaker 3: having the kid in the crowd that was getting his 77 00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:03,760 Speaker 3: United States Military Academy admission. And I thought, by far 78 00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:07,160 Speaker 3: the most compelling moment of the night the thirteen year 79 00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:13,400 Speaker 3: old kid being named a Secret Service honorary member. Democrats 80 00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:16,479 Speaker 3: didn't stand for any of that, Buck, and I think 81 00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:18,960 Speaker 3: the reason why they did not is their brains are 82 00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:24,000 Speaker 3: broken because they're so concerned about being too conciliatory to 83 00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:29,119 Speaker 3: Trump on social media and getting dragged by whatever left 84 00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:33,000 Speaker 3: wing lunatics are popular on social media that they abandoned 85 00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:36,080 Speaker 3: their basic humanity. I don't care who you are. When 86 00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:39,239 Speaker 3: that thirteen year old kid who survived brain cancer stood 87 00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:41,480 Speaker 3: up and gave a hug to the Secret Service agent, 88 00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:47,599 Speaker 3: you should have almost wanted to cry or cried if 89 00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:53,080 Speaker 3: you are just a basic, normal human being with complete 90 00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:57,560 Speaker 3: control of the normal life. That was a moment where 91 00:05:57,680 --> 00:06:00,360 Speaker 3: it was hard to even if you're a guy, where 92 00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:03,160 Speaker 3: it was hard not to feel a bit emotional and 93 00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:05,600 Speaker 3: buck What stood out to me, maybe most of all, 94 00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:07,960 Speaker 3: I watched that awful You woke up and watched it 95 00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:09,919 Speaker 3: this morning, which, by the way, I think is worse. 96 00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:13,200 Speaker 3: Start off your morning watching Senator. At least ad some coffee. 97 00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:15,640 Speaker 3: I had some krockeat to take care of it. But 98 00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:18,560 Speaker 3: what is the number one criticism that you would have 99 00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:22,039 Speaker 3: of Trump if you were a Democrat? Probably that he 100 00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:27,720 Speaker 3: oftentimes behaves in an emotional fashion and isn't always acting 101 00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:31,040 Speaker 3: like an adult. They took the worst criticism they have 102 00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:33,920 Speaker 3: ever had about Trump, you know, leave aside the Hitler stuff, 103 00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:37,000 Speaker 3: but just his deportment right the way he carries himself, 104 00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:40,760 Speaker 3: and they were far worse. And I thought, with Slotkin's speech, Buck, 105 00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:46,520 Speaker 3: we know Trump has men, men, white, Black, Asian, Hispanic. 106 00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:50,040 Speaker 3: The polls are out there, sixty forty approval, fifty seven 107 00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:53,600 Speaker 3: forty three, double digit approval. The younger the men, he's 108 00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:57,719 Speaker 3: got him even more. I thought Trump, actually, Buck really 109 00:06:57,720 --> 00:07:00,680 Speaker 3: did a phenomenal job of connecting with women. And I 110 00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:02,560 Speaker 3: think there were a lot of women out there that 111 00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:05,159 Speaker 3: if you had heard from MSNBC or New York Times 112 00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:07,640 Speaker 3: that this guy's hitler, they were watching and they kept 113 00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:11,200 Speaker 3: waiting for some awful shoe to drop, and he was 114 00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:14,000 Speaker 3: phenomenal the whole way. Last thought, he waited until the 115 00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:16,320 Speaker 3: very end to talk about foreign affairs. I think he 116 00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:19,200 Speaker 3: spoke for the longest ever, one hundred minutes. I think 117 00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:22,240 Speaker 3: was the final tally, longer than anyone ever spoke. Probably 118 00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:24,800 Speaker 3: an hour and a half of that was all American 119 00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:27,880 Speaker 3: focused policies. And then at the very end he talked 120 00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:30,040 Speaker 3: to Ukraine, he talked to Middle East. I thought it 121 00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:32,520 Speaker 3: was a home run. I just I don't know that 122 00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:35,280 Speaker 3: that we have seen a better version of Trump than 123 00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:37,360 Speaker 3: what we saw last night. And I think Democrats are 124 00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:40,200 Speaker 3: starting to panic because they have no answer for him. Well, 125 00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:43,640 Speaker 3: they looked pathetic last night, And I really mean that 126 00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:46,960 Speaker 3: when you have somebody who in the very opening is 127 00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:51,080 Speaker 3: just being flagrantly disrespectful to the presidence of the Unitedy 128 00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:55,240 Speaker 3: staateably So yeshing, there's nothing you can say about that 129 00:07:55,320 --> 00:08:00,560 Speaker 3: other than he's acting like, you know, a street communist, 130 00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:03,080 Speaker 3: a community organizer. I mean, he was acting like some 131 00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:06,440 Speaker 3: guy from Code Pink who is shrieking in the back 132 00:08:06,480 --> 00:08:09,560 Speaker 3: of a congressional hearing. Except he's a member of Congress 133 00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:13,280 Speaker 3: and this is a joint addressed to Congress. So that's pathetic. 134 00:08:13,320 --> 00:08:15,760 Speaker 3: The little paddles that they held up in the audience 135 00:08:16,200 --> 00:08:21,800 Speaker 3: made them look made them look effeminate and weak and preposterous. 136 00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:26,480 Speaker 3: I mean, the whole thing was an absurdity. And on 137 00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:30,160 Speaker 3: the issue of women in the narrative right now, and 138 00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:32,000 Speaker 3: who I think is doing a better job or who's 139 00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:35,319 Speaker 3: in a better position with it, we've discussed this. Democrats 140 00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:38,200 Speaker 3: got a little extra boost for themselves because of the 141 00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:42,760 Speaker 3: fear mongering around abortion in the midterms, right we know 142 00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:45,240 Speaker 3: that they were able to use that to greater effect 143 00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:48,760 Speaker 3: in the midterms in Biden's first After Biden's first couple 144 00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:51,160 Speaker 3: of years, but now it's gone to the states, and 145 00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:54,600 Speaker 3: Democrat states have incredibly. I was just in Colorado, which 146 00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:55,679 Speaker 3: has a just. 147 00:08:56,960 --> 00:08:59,319 Speaker 1: Barbaric abortion law for the state of I mean it 148 00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:01,600 Speaker 1: is aline months, by the way, it's officially all nine 149 00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:04,679 Speaker 1: months of a pregnancy. But the states have been able 150 00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:06,520 Speaker 1: to do what they should have done in the first 151 00:09:06,520 --> 00:09:09,920 Speaker 1: place from a constitutional perspective, which has addressed this issue. 152 00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:13,040 Speaker 1: And on the other side of it, Democrats, and this 153 00:09:13,120 --> 00:09:16,360 Speaker 1: came up last night. Specifically, Democrats are the ones who 154 00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:20,320 Speaker 1: keep saying, I want large hairy men to be able 155 00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:25,120 Speaker 1: to play against your high school or college aged female athlete, 156 00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:29,160 Speaker 1: daughter or sister. I want that to happen when they 157 00:09:29,160 --> 00:09:32,520 Speaker 1: have somebody the audience who is a female athlete who 158 00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:39,280 Speaker 1: had brain damage, brain damage from the you know, this 159 00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:42,000 Speaker 1: would be like clay if somebody who was twenty was 160 00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:45,160 Speaker 1: on the football field with a kid who's twelve and 161 00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:47,760 Speaker 1: paralyzed him. I mean, everyone think that was a horrible 162 00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:50,040 Speaker 1: and monstrous thing, right, Like, what are you doing as 163 00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:53,679 Speaker 1: a twenty year old playing well? The male female differential 164 00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:56,720 Speaker 1: isn't that far off from that, especially in a contact sport, 165 00:09:57,559 --> 00:09:59,960 Speaker 1: and Democrats are all in that We just saw this 166 00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:04,760 Speaker 1: Senate Democrats all voting against protection for women in sports. 167 00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:08,080 Speaker 1: So I think actually the Republicans have the issue that 168 00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:11,920 Speaker 1: they can club the other side with. They can spike 169 00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:14,240 Speaker 1: the volleyball in the face of the Democrats on this one. 170 00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:16,480 Speaker 1: They can go after them in a way that's far 171 00:10:16,520 --> 00:10:20,640 Speaker 1: more aggressive. And I think that the whole thing is 172 00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:25,640 Speaker 1: falling apart for Democrats Alyssa Slotkin. Does anyone think that 173 00:10:25,679 --> 00:10:29,560 Speaker 1: Alyssa Slotkin is the future of any party? No, she's not. 174 00:10:29,679 --> 00:10:32,960 Speaker 1: She doesn't have the any of the political skills, doesn't 175 00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:36,240 Speaker 1: have the The whole thing is appalling, honestly, And I 176 00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:38,520 Speaker 1: think that we saw last night you got one side 177 00:10:38,559 --> 00:10:41,000 Speaker 1: that wants America to be fantastic and the other side 178 00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:43,040 Speaker 1: just wants to sit and pout and act like children. 179 00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:46,840 Speaker 3: And if you were watching that, and by the way, 180 00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:49,880 Speaker 3: this is not just our take, sixty nine percent of 181 00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:55,040 Speaker 3: CNN viewers found Trump's speech to be very favorable, seventy 182 00:10:55,280 --> 00:10:59,440 Speaker 3: six percent of CBS News, all of the numbers rolling 183 00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:05,080 Speaker 3: in a rave And I just Democrats could have been 184 00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:09,679 Speaker 3: somewhat reasonable. They could have clapped for a thirteen year 185 00:11:09,679 --> 00:11:12,760 Speaker 3: old cancer patient who survived. They could have clapped for 186 00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:17,000 Speaker 3: Lake and Riley's mom and sister when they were standing. 187 00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:20,840 Speaker 3: They could have clapped for Joscelyn Nongaret or the US 188 00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:26,360 Speaker 3: Military Academy Cadet all which, by the way, the thirteen 189 00:11:26,440 --> 00:11:28,560 Speaker 3: year old walked over and gave him a handshake, which 190 00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:31,800 Speaker 3: was just perfect and authentic and real. And I think, really, 191 00:11:31,840 --> 00:11:36,000 Speaker 3: what ultimately this comes down to is Democrats are supremely 192 00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:39,800 Speaker 3: fake and also the party of super old people. Did 193 00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:44,080 Speaker 3: you notice, Buck, I think I was watching Fox News, 194 00:11:44,120 --> 00:11:48,360 Speaker 3: but when they panned from our friend Riley Games sitting 195 00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:52,000 Speaker 3: in the upper deck and they went straight to Nancy 196 00:11:52,040 --> 00:11:56,559 Speaker 3: Pelosi and the disconnect as they were talking about women 197 00:11:56,600 --> 00:12:03,480 Speaker 3: and men's sports. The disconnect between Riley Games, Riley Gain's young, effervescent, brave, 198 00:12:03,920 --> 00:12:08,360 Speaker 3: fearless and Nancy Pelosi sort of vacantly chewing on her 199 00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:14,960 Speaker 3: gums looking lost, was I thought, just a perfect epitomization 200 00:12:15,640 --> 00:12:19,080 Speaker 3: of how lost Democrats are. We'll continue to break this 201 00:12:19,160 --> 00:12:21,040 Speaker 3: down because I think it was significant. I think it's 202 00:12:21,080 --> 00:12:24,560 Speaker 3: going to register resonate for some time. But last night 203 00:12:24,640 --> 00:12:27,640 Speaker 3: was an incredible show of support for our military, firefighters 204 00:12:27,679 --> 00:12:30,720 Speaker 3: and police officers. Law and order once again a top 205 00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:34,000 Speaker 3: priority at the border and throughout the country. Since nine 206 00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:36,520 Speaker 3: to eleven, the Tunnel the Towers Foundation has been supporting 207 00:12:36,520 --> 00:12:39,960 Speaker 3: America's greatest heroes and their families. The efforts now in 208 00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:43,240 Speaker 3: its twenty fourth year, to provide forever security to the 209 00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:47,079 Speaker 3: families of fallen soldiers and first responders who have lost 210 00:12:47,080 --> 00:12:49,360 Speaker 3: the loved one in the line of duty. Heroes like 211 00:12:49,400 --> 00:12:53,080 Speaker 3: firefighter James Dickman, passionate about fire safety, aspired to do 212 00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:56,080 Speaker 3: everything in his power to keep his community and fellow 213 00:12:56,080 --> 00:12:59,720 Speaker 3: firefighters safe. While responding to an apartment fire, James and 214 00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:03,160 Speaker 3: his tried to save people thought to be trapped inside. 215 00:13:03,160 --> 00:13:06,880 Speaker 3: When the situation escalated, James wasn't able to escape. He 216 00:13:07,040 --> 00:13:11,199 Speaker 3: perished in the blazing inferno cause the fire Arson James 217 00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:14,760 Speaker 3: leaves behind his loving Why Jamie Children page and grant. 218 00:13:15,040 --> 00:13:17,480 Speaker 3: Tunnel the Towers gave the Dickman family the gift of 219 00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:20,520 Speaker 3: a mortgage free home.

Steven, appreciate 229 00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:56,640 Speaker 1: you making the time of breaking from your twenty one 230 00:13:56,760 --> 00:14:00,280 Speaker 1: twenty two hour workdays at this White House to fill 231 00:14:00,360 --> 00:14:03,520 Speaker 1: us in on Well, first, the aftermath of a highly 232 00:14:03,559 --> 00:14:07,760 Speaker 1: successful speech. Did it all come off as you guys intended, 233 00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:10,640 Speaker 1: and what should we be expecting here in the days ahead. 234 00:14:11,800 --> 00:14:14,040 Speaker 5: Well, first, it's great to be back on the air 235 00:14:14,080 --> 00:14:16,720 Speaker 5: with you. I think it's the first time a bit 236 00:14:16,760 --> 00:14:21,440 Speaker 5: of the air with you since President Trump was inaugurated 237 00:14:21,560 --> 00:14:23,120 Speaker 5: back into the White House. So it's great to be 238 00:14:23,160 --> 00:14:25,240 Speaker 5: on with you. And yes, I enjoyed getting the chance 239 00:14:25,280 --> 00:14:28,360 Speaker 5: to come in he air many times during the four 240 00:14:28,440 --> 00:14:33,000 Speaker 5: years between term one and term two and very enjoyable 241 00:14:33,040 --> 00:14:37,000 Speaker 5: to be here now calling you from the West wing 242 00:14:37,400 --> 00:14:41,160 Speaker 5: of the White House. So thank you. The speech last 243 00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:45,360 Speaker 5: night went more incredibly than we could have ever even hoped. 244 00:14:45,520 --> 00:14:50,880 Speaker 5: And of course we always know that these massive, internationally 245 00:14:50,920 --> 00:14:55,400 Speaker 5: watched musty TV events for President Trump are where he 246 00:14:56,200 --> 00:15:00,640 Speaker 5: truly thrives. But even by those extremely high standards, this 247 00:15:00,760 --> 00:15:04,640 Speaker 5: speech exceeded their expectations. And of course, at the same time, 248 00:15:05,480 --> 00:15:10,840 Speaker 5: Democrats humiliated themselves before that same international viewing audience, behaving 249 00:15:10,840 --> 00:15:15,280 Speaker 5: in a way that really shocks the conscience of the country. 250 00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:19,200 Speaker 5: I mean, it wasn't just it wasn't just dissurfing. It 251 00:15:19,280 --> 00:15:25,760 Speaker 5: was really profoundly sinister. I mean, to not stand and 252 00:15:25,960 --> 00:15:31,400 Speaker 5: honor victims and their families who have been murdered by 253 00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:38,040 Speaker 5: illegal aliens, to not stand and honor children, A child, 254 00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:43,000 Speaker 5: thirteen year old who is battling brain cancer is beginning 255 00:15:43,040 --> 00:15:48,920 Speaker 5: to live out his dream and become, to his surprise 256 00:15:48,960 --> 00:15:52,440 Speaker 5: and honorary Secret Service agent. And to see all the 257 00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:56,120 Speaker 5: inspiring stories and heroes. And a border agent who exchanged 258 00:15:56,120 --> 00:16:01,040 Speaker 5: gunfire with a cartel, a girl who was who suffered 259 00:16:01,040 --> 00:16:06,760 Speaker 5: a severe brandury because she was spiked in the face 260 00:16:06,800 --> 00:16:10,080 Speaker 5: by a mile athlete. I mean, story after story of 261 00:16:10,120 --> 00:16:14,680 Speaker 5: people who overcome hardship, adversity, unimaginable loss. I was there 262 00:16:14,760 --> 00:16:19,000 Speaker 5: last night. I was stunned the Democrats didn't stand to 263 00:16:19,080 --> 00:16:20,920 Speaker 5: honor these Americans in their stores. 264 00:16:22,280 --> 00:16:24,680 Speaker 3: What do you attribute that to? Steven, do you think 265 00:16:24,800 --> 00:16:26,800 Speaker 3: I'm curious? I agree with you. I think it was 266 00:16:26,840 --> 00:16:29,320 Speaker 3: the best speech that Trent. Thanks for coming on, and 267 00:16:29,960 --> 00:16:31,720 Speaker 3: we're proud of all the work you're doing. I think 268 00:16:31,760 --> 00:16:33,960 Speaker 3: it was the best speech that Trump has ever given 269 00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:36,960 Speaker 3: in his career, not only based on how he did, but. 270 00:16:37,160 --> 00:16:40,080 Speaker 5: I agree with you, and I appreciated you, or we 271 00:16:40,160 --> 00:16:43,040 Speaker 5: appreciate you were saying so posting on X last night, 272 00:16:43,160 --> 00:16:44,320 Speaker 5: so that's not going to notice. 273 00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:44,680 Speaker 6: Thank you. 274 00:16:45,120 --> 00:16:47,560 Speaker 3: Well, it's well deserved. You guys are busting your ass. 275 00:16:47,560 --> 00:16:49,880 Speaker 3: And I thought it was a stellar performance by Trump, 276 00:16:49,920 --> 00:16:52,800 Speaker 3: and you guys had weaved so many perfect narratives together 277 00:16:52,920 --> 00:16:58,560 Speaker 3: to give people attention in the gallery there. Why do 278 00:16:58,640 --> 00:17:04,000 Speaker 3: you think democrats so lost their way? Because leave aside politics, Stephen, 279 00:17:04,440 --> 00:17:08,320 Speaker 3: It's basic humanity to cheer for a thirteen year old 280 00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:12,720 Speaker 3: who's overcome brain cancer. It's basic humanity to cheer for 281 00:17:13,040 --> 00:17:15,880 Speaker 3: a ninety five year old mother who gets her son 282 00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:20,760 Speaker 3: back from Russian captivity. These are not political related concerns. 283 00:17:21,200 --> 00:17:23,879 Speaker 3: I talk some with people afterwards, and they said, the 284 00:17:23,960 --> 00:17:27,840 Speaker 3: left wing has so taken control of social media that 285 00:17:27,920 --> 00:17:30,560 Speaker 3: all of these democrats are terrified to be seen as 286 00:17:30,560 --> 00:17:35,000 Speaker 3: in any way applauding anything the president does. And also 287 00:17:35,040 --> 00:17:38,800 Speaker 3: there's a crazy level of groupthink that has destroyed them. 288 00:17:39,240 --> 00:17:40,679 Speaker 1: What do you attribute this to? 289 00:17:40,920 --> 00:17:44,119 Speaker 3: Because it's not normal, it's super weird, and I know 290 00:17:44,160 --> 00:17:47,160 Speaker 3: Tim Wallace tried to say Republicans were weird, but it's 291 00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:53,040 Speaker 3: also profoundly inhumane to me. Leaving aside to politics, Oh, 292 00:17:53,040 --> 00:17:53,560 Speaker 3: you're right. 293 00:17:53,440 --> 00:17:59,159 Speaker 5: I mean it displays a shocking absence of humanity. You 294 00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:03,040 Speaker 5: got very fundament mental level, at a human level. You know, 295 00:18:03,359 --> 00:18:07,400 Speaker 5: you see these You see these people who have suffered 296 00:18:07,760 --> 00:18:11,040 Speaker 5: and endured loss and pain that people can't even imagine. 297 00:18:11,520 --> 00:18:14,399 Speaker 5: How do you not stand and honor them? How do 298 00:18:14,440 --> 00:18:18,199 Speaker 5: you not show any kind of respect or decency in 299 00:18:18,240 --> 00:18:22,760 Speaker 5: that moment? It really, it really does defy any attempt 300 00:18:22,760 --> 00:18:25,440 Speaker 5: to describe it or understand it. The presidentship, at the 301 00:18:25,480 --> 00:18:29,600 Speaker 5: beginning of a speech, challenge Democrats too, for just one night, 302 00:18:30,480 --> 00:18:34,360 Speaker 5: put aside to their own petty and personal and partisan 303 00:18:34,400 --> 00:18:38,800 Speaker 5: feelings and celebrate big wins for America. For example, like 304 00:18:38,840 --> 00:18:43,240 Speaker 5: you mentioned, getting somebody back who is in who's improperly 305 00:18:43,280 --> 00:18:47,320 Speaker 5: detained in Russia to be reunited with their family would 306 00:18:47,320 --> 00:18:50,000 Speaker 5: be an example of a big win for America that 307 00:18:50,040 --> 00:18:55,400 Speaker 5: everybody should stand up in applause. Or capturing the terrorists 308 00:18:56,240 --> 00:19:01,880 Speaker 5: behind the Abbegate murder of thirteen US service members. These 309 00:19:01,880 --> 00:19:05,880 Speaker 5: are things that you would think everybody would riotously applaud 310 00:19:06,440 --> 00:19:08,800 Speaker 5: because there's such a huge win for the country, such 311 00:19:08,800 --> 00:19:11,760 Speaker 5: a huge win for our people. It does defy description. 312 00:19:12,040 --> 00:19:14,359 Speaker 5: I would have to say that. I think what's happened 313 00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:20,359 Speaker 5: is the Democrat Party as an institution has become severely radicalized. 314 00:19:20,640 --> 00:19:25,760 Speaker 5: I'm not using that term as an insult, although they 315 00:19:25,800 --> 00:19:29,560 Speaker 5: deserve it. I'm using it clinically. I'm saying they've clinically 316 00:19:29,680 --> 00:19:34,720 Speaker 5: become radicalized the way that the closed society or a 317 00:19:34,840 --> 00:19:38,400 Speaker 5: cult or or some of the social group does that 318 00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:42,159 Speaker 5: lacks any kind of outside input, any kind of exposure 319 00:19:42,600 --> 00:19:45,199 Speaker 5: to alternate points of view, and the more time they 320 00:19:45,240 --> 00:19:46,960 Speaker 5: spend with each other, and you sort of alluded to 321 00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:49,240 Speaker 5: it in their closed social media circle as well too, 322 00:19:50,040 --> 00:19:52,320 Speaker 5: the more extreme, the more radical they become, to the 323 00:19:52,320 --> 00:19:56,760 Speaker 5: points in which here's a good example, Mark Werner was 324 00:19:56,760 --> 00:20:01,680 Speaker 5: on Senator Mark Warner was on TV recently accidentally said 325 00:20:01,720 --> 00:20:04,560 Speaker 5: something good the day before about President Trump's work on 326 00:20:04,560 --> 00:20:06,520 Speaker 5: the border, and then he went on TV the next 327 00:20:06,600 --> 00:20:10,040 Speaker 5: day to take it back and apologize forever, even implying 328 00:20:10,119 --> 00:20:12,280 Speaker 5: or suggesting that President Trump had done anything good on 329 00:20:12,280 --> 00:20:16,720 Speaker 5: the border. Again, this is the same political party, as 330 00:20:16,760 --> 00:20:21,040 Speaker 5: you know, that has venerated criminals for years and years 331 00:20:21,040 --> 00:20:25,040 Speaker 5: and years, that has venerated people who have engaged in 332 00:20:25,600 --> 00:20:30,520 Speaker 5: violent contact like Black Lives Matter rioters for years, and 333 00:20:30,760 --> 00:20:34,920 Speaker 5: they couldn't even stand for the family of Lake and 334 00:20:35,080 --> 00:20:40,280 Speaker 5: Riley who was barbarically murdered by a legal immigrant from 335 00:20:40,280 --> 00:20:45,000 Speaker 5: El Salvador. It really, it just it's a crystalizing moment 336 00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:47,159 Speaker 5: in terms of where we are as a country. We 337 00:20:47,240 --> 00:20:50,240 Speaker 5: have one political party, the Republicans, led by Donald Trump, 338 00:20:51,119 --> 00:20:54,080 Speaker 5: that is broadly fighting for issues at eighty eighty five 339 00:20:54,080 --> 00:20:56,480 Speaker 5: percent of Americans agree on. Then we have another political 340 00:20:56,520 --> 00:21:00,920 Speaker 5: party that is lost in the wilderness and has gone 341 00:21:01,240 --> 00:21:02,000 Speaker 5: completely mad. 342 00:21:03,200 --> 00:21:06,480 Speaker 1: We're speaking to Steven Miller, White House Deputy chief of Staff, 343 00:21:06,920 --> 00:21:09,920 Speaker 1: and Steven, give us if you can, I know you can, 344 00:21:10,080 --> 00:21:13,440 Speaker 1: so give us, if you will, a sense of what 345 00:21:13,680 --> 00:21:16,000 Speaker 1: is coming next here on the agenda. We've seen a 346 00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:17,960 Speaker 1: lot of the executive orders. We didn't get to it 347 00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:22,920 Speaker 1: earlier today, but a federal judge decided that he could 348 00:21:22,920 --> 00:21:25,840 Speaker 1: determine on his own that two billion dollars must be 349 00:21:25,880 --> 00:21:28,880 Speaker 1: paid for a USAID contract. Supreme Court five to four 350 00:21:28,960 --> 00:21:32,280 Speaker 1: has come down and is essentially mandating that payment. So 351 00:21:32,320 --> 00:21:35,119 Speaker 1: we know that the courts are going to be a battleground. 352 00:21:35,520 --> 00:21:38,359 Speaker 1: What are you expecting with regard to that? And also 353 00:21:38,480 --> 00:21:41,840 Speaker 1: what can we expect when it comes to immigration enforcement 354 00:21:41,920 --> 00:21:44,320 Speaker 1: and some of the major operations that have certainly been 355 00:21:44,480 --> 00:21:46,440 Speaker 1: hinted at well. 356 00:21:46,600 --> 00:21:50,720 Speaker 5: I mean, the district court judge issue is a very 357 00:21:51,720 --> 00:21:55,520 Speaker 5: severe one, perhaps one of the most severe. So it's 358 00:21:55,520 --> 00:22:01,359 Speaker 5: important to understand there's seven hundred more or less district 359 00:22:01,400 --> 00:22:04,840 Speaker 5: court judges nationwide, or about seven six hundred and eighty 360 00:22:05,480 --> 00:22:08,840 Speaker 5: district court judges nationwide, a larger number than many people 361 00:22:08,880 --> 00:22:11,200 Speaker 5: might imagine. And so when you hear the term federal 362 00:22:11,280 --> 00:22:14,480 Speaker 5: judge and join something, we're talking about one person from 363 00:22:14,520 --> 00:22:18,680 Speaker 5: a pool of almost seven hundred, so larger than the 364 00:22:18,760 --> 00:22:22,719 Speaker 5: number of House Democrats by a significant margin. For example, 365 00:22:23,440 --> 00:22:28,160 Speaker 5: a subset of those federal judges are equally as radical 366 00:22:28,880 --> 00:22:32,280 Speaker 5: assay Al Green who was escorted from the chamber last night, 367 00:22:32,800 --> 00:22:37,080 Speaker 5: or Eline Omar or an aoc et cetera. And so 368 00:22:37,359 --> 00:22:40,120 Speaker 5: we have a situation now as a country where again, 369 00:22:40,160 --> 00:22:43,240 Speaker 5: these are people that you know, Biden or Obama forced 370 00:22:43,320 --> 00:22:46,280 Speaker 5: through on a party line vote that got you know, 371 00:22:46,359 --> 00:22:49,719 Speaker 5: zero national attention because, let's be honest, very little national 372 00:22:49,720 --> 00:22:52,040 Speaker 5: coverage of a you know, a district court judge being 373 00:22:52,080 --> 00:22:55,400 Speaker 5: appointed to say San Francisco, and so you have a 374 00:22:55,440 --> 00:22:58,560 Speaker 5: single district court judge that is the that it sort 375 00:22:58,560 --> 00:23:02,520 Speaker 5: of represents one percent of the American population. Ideologically, it 376 00:23:02,520 --> 00:23:07,440 Speaker 5: gets to assert the powers of the presidency for themselves 377 00:23:07,520 --> 00:23:09,680 Speaker 5: and says, I'm going to be the president. Now, I'm 378 00:23:09,680 --> 00:23:11,960 Speaker 5: going to decide what our foreign policy is. I'm going 379 00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:14,480 Speaker 5: to decide what foreign aid we're going to fund, are 380 00:23:14,520 --> 00:23:19,000 Speaker 5: not going to fund. I mean, it's breathtakingly unconstitutional. The 381 00:23:19,480 --> 00:23:24,680 Speaker 5: founding fathers would have been horrified that anything even resembling 382 00:23:24,720 --> 00:23:30,480 Speaker 5: Legs described could happen. And clearly the Supreme Court is 383 00:23:30,480 --> 00:23:35,520 Speaker 5: going to need to establish new rules and procedures for 384 00:23:35,640 --> 00:23:39,359 Speaker 5: district court injunctions because it deprives the American people of 385 00:23:39,400 --> 00:23:43,280 Speaker 5: their ability to exercise democracy in there was you vote 386 00:23:43,320 --> 00:23:46,200 Speaker 5: for a change in policy, you elect a new president. 387 00:23:47,359 --> 00:23:50,280 Speaker 5: You can't have district court judges preventing that president from 388 00:23:50,280 --> 00:23:55,800 Speaker 5: executing the policies that he campaigned on. And a very serious, 389 00:23:56,560 --> 00:24:00,400 Speaker 5: very direct threat to democracy and our democratic system of government, 390 00:24:00,800 --> 00:24:03,159 Speaker 5: and clearly there's going to need to be reforms. 391 00:24:03,840 --> 00:24:07,040 Speaker 3: We know that you are walking working, Steven Miller with 392 00:24:07,119 --> 00:24:10,080 Speaker 3: US now White House Deputy chief of Staff hours that 393 00:24:10,119 --> 00:24:14,240 Speaker 3: are probably extraordinary. I know you have three young kids 394 00:24:14,280 --> 00:24:16,960 Speaker 3: as well. I know your wife has also been working 395 00:24:17,040 --> 00:24:20,560 Speaker 3: like crazy. Take it outside of the policy world for 396 00:24:21,119 --> 00:24:24,639 Speaker 3: a moment. What is your average day like right now? 397 00:24:24,720 --> 00:24:28,960 Speaker 3: There's a lot of parents out there that have serious jobs. 398 00:24:29,240 --> 00:24:31,679 Speaker 3: What are you doing on a day to day basis? 399 00:24:31,720 --> 00:24:34,040 Speaker 3: What is your day like? And then second part of this, 400 00:24:34,119 --> 00:24:37,000 Speaker 3: and I texted you about this because before in the 401 00:24:37,040 --> 00:24:39,280 Speaker 3: four years when you were on with US regularly, we 402 00:24:39,680 --> 00:24:43,760 Speaker 3: established your affinity for Karate Kid and the Cobra Kai series, 403 00:24:44,040 --> 00:24:46,919 Speaker 3: which I set around on February thirteenth and watched with 404 00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:50,840 Speaker 3: my three boys. Have you had any moments of just 405 00:24:51,320 --> 00:24:55,200 Speaker 3: non work basically since January twentieth, or frankly even since 406 00:24:55,280 --> 00:24:58,200 Speaker 3: November fifth? What's your day to day life like right now? 407 00:24:59,640 --> 00:24:59,840 Speaker 6: Yes? 408 00:25:00,119 --> 00:25:03,320 Speaker 5: Well, so, unfortunately I have not had the chance to 409 00:25:03,359 --> 00:25:06,639 Speaker 5: watch the last installments that no spoilers here plays, I 410 00:25:06,680 --> 00:25:11,440 Speaker 5: will say for Kai because because I have not the 411 00:25:11,480 --> 00:25:16,080 Speaker 5: back kind of time but maybe I'll be will get 412 00:25:16,080 --> 00:25:18,720 Speaker 5: a chance to catch an episode here or there in 413 00:25:18,720 --> 00:25:21,400 Speaker 5: the near future, because obviously I've invested a lot into 414 00:25:21,440 --> 00:25:24,800 Speaker 5: the series personally and emotionally, so I'm definitely going to 415 00:25:24,840 --> 00:25:29,400 Speaker 5: finish it. But let me to answer your other question. Look, 416 00:25:29,440 --> 00:25:31,280 Speaker 5: when you work in the in the White House, when 417 00:25:31,280 --> 00:25:34,040 Speaker 5: you work more specifically in the West Wing as a 418 00:25:34,119 --> 00:25:37,200 Speaker 5: senior age of the President, you know you're on twenty 419 00:25:37,240 --> 00:25:40,320 Speaker 5: four to seven and so, and you're on wherever you are. 420 00:25:40,359 --> 00:25:42,359 Speaker 5: There's no such thing as being off the clock. The 421 00:25:42,400 --> 00:25:47,440 Speaker 5: notion of working hours and non working hours doesn't exist. 422 00:25:48,400 --> 00:25:51,240 Speaker 5: If you're awake, you're working. And frankly so if you're asleep, 423 00:25:51,240 --> 00:25:52,560 Speaker 5: you're about to be working because you're gonna get a 424 00:25:52,560 --> 00:25:54,879 Speaker 5: phone call while you're sleeping. But that's exactly what we 425 00:25:54,960 --> 00:25:57,479 Speaker 5: signed up for. That's what the Amact of People expect 426 00:25:57,480 --> 00:25:59,800 Speaker 5: of us, that's what the taxpayers expect of us, that's 427 00:25:59,800 --> 00:26:02,439 Speaker 5: what the President expects of us. Are the people who 428 00:26:02,520 --> 00:26:05,600 Speaker 5: work in these jobs is to be on call twenty 429 00:26:05,600 --> 00:26:08,919 Speaker 5: four to seven and do everything possible to advance the agenda. 430 00:26:08,920 --> 00:26:10,560 Speaker 5: And if you look at the scope and the pace 431 00:26:10,600 --> 00:26:16,200 Speaker 5: of activity over the last six weeks, we've the President 432 00:26:16,240 --> 00:26:20,520 Speaker 5: Trump has crammed eight years of action into six weeks. 433 00:26:20,520 --> 00:26:24,199 Speaker 5: But even that understates it, because nay, many president in 434 00:26:24,240 --> 00:26:28,919 Speaker 5: the last you know, decades, generations, who's done anything this 435 00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:30,840 Speaker 5: good in eight years, let alone in six weeks. Right. 436 00:26:30,880 --> 00:26:33,639 Speaker 5: In other words, other presidents come in, they just tinker 437 00:26:33,680 --> 00:26:37,040 Speaker 5: around the edges or make things dramatically worse. We went 438 00:26:37,080 --> 00:26:41,560 Speaker 5: in under President Trump's leadership and fundamentally reformed this government 439 00:26:42,240 --> 00:26:45,200 Speaker 5: at every level in six weeks. But then it's just 440 00:26:45,280 --> 00:26:47,000 Speaker 5: the beginning. As he said last night, we were just 441 00:26:47,040 --> 00:26:49,800 Speaker 5: getting started, and you're going to continue to see a 442 00:26:49,840 --> 00:26:52,760 Speaker 5: flurry of transformative actions that are going to change this 443 00:26:52,840 --> 00:26:55,920 Speaker 5: government forever. They change that the America has been wanting 444 00:26:55,960 --> 00:27:00,000 Speaker 5: their entire lives, our whole lives, The bureaucracy has been untouched, unbolted, 445 00:27:00,600 --> 00:27:03,840 Speaker 5: doing whatever they want to do. He's imposing democratic control 446 00:27:03,880 --> 00:27:06,480 Speaker 5: over the bureaucracy, and you're just seeing the beginning of 447 00:27:06,480 --> 00:27:11,040 Speaker 5: that effort. Completely rewiring our whole US immigration system, to 448 00:27:11,160 --> 00:27:15,560 Speaker 5: establish a policy of absolutely no one lawful entry into 449 00:27:15,560 --> 00:27:18,080 Speaker 5: the United States, combined with the mass removal of those 450 00:27:18,119 --> 00:27:21,160 Speaker 5: who are here illegally right now, and having the military 451 00:27:21,400 --> 00:27:23,640 Speaker 5: be at the front and center of that mission as 452 00:27:23,640 --> 00:27:25,199 Speaker 5: we have seen. And by the way, you and I 453 00:27:25,240 --> 00:27:29,320 Speaker 5: talked about that, you know, probably a year maybe more ago, 454 00:27:29,480 --> 00:27:31,639 Speaker 5: about how central the military is going to be in 455 00:27:31,680 --> 00:27:33,800 Speaker 5: this operation, and now you've seen how true that is. 456 00:27:33,840 --> 00:27:38,159 Speaker 5: And President Trump is the first president since Eisenhower to 457 00:27:38,320 --> 00:27:41,520 Speaker 5: use the military to secure the homeland of the United 458 00:27:41,560 --> 00:27:44,800 Speaker 5: States from illegal immigration. And on the issue after issue, 459 00:27:44,800 --> 00:27:47,440 Speaker 5: you're going to continue to see that level of scope 460 00:27:47,520 --> 00:27:49,560 Speaker 5: and pace of change. And so I would just say, 461 00:27:49,560 --> 00:27:51,320 Speaker 5: as excited as you've been these last six weeks, just 462 00:27:51,359 --> 00:27:53,639 Speaker 5: wait till you see what happened in the next six weeks. 463 00:27:54,240 --> 00:27:57,040 Speaker 3: Outstanding stuff, Stephen Miller.

Essentially, what are your top priorities? Why 533 00:31:45,560 --> 00:31:47,400 Speaker 1: do you want to be the next Senator from the 534 00:31:47,400 --> 00:31:48,520 Speaker 1: great state of Kentucky. 535 00:31:49,560 --> 00:31:52,160 Speaker 6: Well, Buck, look, let me first say you and I 536 00:31:52,200 --> 00:31:54,280 Speaker 6: will you know, obviously share this in common.

And my 540 00:32:03,600 --> 00:32:07,640 Speaker 6: wife and I want to see a colorblind society, a 541 00:32:07,960 --> 00:32:13,840 Speaker 6: merit based society, one in which we uproot diversity, equity 542 00:32:13,840 --> 00:32:17,760 Speaker 6: and inclusion and replace it with merit, excellence and intelligence 543 00:32:17,800 --> 00:32:21,800 Speaker 6: and integrity. That's something that is core to who I am. 544 00:32:21,920 --> 00:32:26,120 Speaker 6: Is fighting to preserve that colorblind society, fighting to preserve 545 00:32:26,160 --> 00:32:30,120 Speaker 6: our constitutional rights, making sure that we secure our southern border. Look, 546 00:32:31,360 --> 00:32:34,160 Speaker 6: I thought one of the best lines last night from 547 00:32:34,280 --> 00:32:36,480 Speaker 6: the President was, you know, it turns out we didn't 548 00:32:36,520 --> 00:32:39,440 Speaker 6: need new legislation, We just needed the new president. I 549 00:32:39,480 --> 00:32:44,440 Speaker 6: want to help the President continue to fulfill that commitment 550 00:32:44,480 --> 00:32:48,560 Speaker 6: and promise to secure our southern border because as a Kentuckian, 551 00:32:48,960 --> 00:32:51,240 Speaker 6: I mean, we've seen what fitnel does when it comes 552 00:32:51,280 --> 00:32:55,440 Speaker 6: across a porous and unsecured southern border. It hurts our 553 00:32:55,520 --> 00:32:59,280 Speaker 6: people in the heartland of this country. I want to 554 00:32:59,320 --> 00:33:02,800 Speaker 6: help fight alongside President Trump and support the America First 555 00:33:02,840 --> 00:33:07,600 Speaker 6: agenda on securing the southern border, unleashing our economy, unleashing 556 00:33:07,760 --> 00:33:11,840 Speaker 6: cryptos such that folks can you know, have an opportunity 557 00:33:11,880 --> 00:33:15,240 Speaker 6: there and then again preserving our constitutional rights and getting 558 00:33:15,320 --> 00:33:20,920 Speaker 6: rid of DEI. And as someone who lives in a 559 00:33:21,520 --> 00:33:26,160 Speaker 6: community and an economy that is fueled by fossil fuels 560 00:33:26,760 --> 00:33:30,120 Speaker 6: meaning coal and natural gas, we got to preserve that. 561 00:33:30,160 --> 00:33:33,040 Speaker 6: We've got to have at all of the above or 562 00:33:33,080 --> 00:33:36,080 Speaker 6: across the board energy strategy, and I want to promote 563 00:33:36,120 --> 00:33:38,400 Speaker 6: that to main sure make sure that Kentucky in this 564 00:33:38,480 --> 00:33:40,680 Speaker 6: country is maintaining our energy independence. 565 00:33:41,680 --> 00:33:46,720 Speaker 3: You live in a state that has a Democrat governor. Unfortunately, 566 00:33:47,360 --> 00:33:51,960 Speaker 3: as I know you're not pleased. But that in that address, 567 00:33:53,040 --> 00:33:56,600 Speaker 3: when Democrats refuse to stand for a girl who had 568 00:33:56,680 --> 00:33:59,120 Speaker 3: traumatic brain injury because she was playing against a man 569 00:33:59,400 --> 00:34:04,000 Speaker 3: in volleyball, When they refuse to stand for the family 570 00:34:04,040 --> 00:34:08,400 Speaker 3: of Lake and Riley, the family of Joscelyn Nungary, the 571 00:34:08,440 --> 00:34:12,040 Speaker 3: wife of a murdered police officer, a kid much less 572 00:34:12,080 --> 00:34:16,360 Speaker 3: serious but gets admitted to US military academy, Mark Fogel, 573 00:34:16,520 --> 00:34:19,799 Speaker 3: ninety five year old mom who was imprisoned. This son 574 00:34:19,920 --> 00:34:24,799 Speaker 3: Mark was mom gets him out. Corey Competi, the firefighter family, wife, 575 00:34:24,880 --> 00:34:29,040 Speaker 3: two daughters. There, what does it say about the Democrats 576 00:34:29,280 --> 00:34:33,520 Speaker 3: and their political perspective right now that they lack the 577 00:34:33,520 --> 00:34:38,480 Speaker 3: basic humanity to just stand and honor good American stories 578 00:34:38,520 --> 00:34:40,480 Speaker 3: and heroes like that last night. 579 00:34:41,440 --> 00:34:46,440 Speaker 6: I mean, look, it was absolutely absurd and crazy. You 580 00:34:46,480 --> 00:34:51,080 Speaker 6: think about the Kamala Harris Tim Walls campaign. I mean, 581 00:34:51,120 --> 00:34:53,919 Speaker 6: the Democrat members of the House and Senate have basically said, 582 00:34:53,960 --> 00:34:57,720 Speaker 6: hold our beer because we're going to do what didn't 583 00:34:57,719 --> 00:35:00,959 Speaker 6: work in the twenty four presidential election. We're actually gonna 584 00:35:00,960 --> 00:35:02,560 Speaker 6: double down on that. We're not gonna listen to the 585 00:35:02,560 --> 00:35:05,279 Speaker 6: American people. We're not gonna care about common sense and 586 00:35:05,760 --> 00:35:08,279 Speaker 6: fair play in women's sports. We're not going to care 587 00:35:08,400 --> 00:35:15,040 Speaker 6: about these American, deeply rooted American stories that President Trump 588 00:35:15,080 --> 00:35:18,880 Speaker 6: presented last night when it came to DJ Daniel and 589 00:35:19,360 --> 00:35:22,160 Speaker 6: and the tragedy of Lake and Riley and others that 590 00:35:22,280 --> 00:35:25,520 Speaker 6: you you mentioned. They couldn't stand for that. They couldn't 591 00:35:25,520 --> 00:35:28,439 Speaker 6: stand to celebrate the greatness of America. They couldn't stand 592 00:35:28,520 --> 00:35:32,520 Speaker 6: stand for these heartfelt stories, uh that of of people 593 00:35:32,600 --> 00:35:37,680 Speaker 6: that have seen challenges and continue to uh, you know, 594 00:35:37,800 --> 00:35:42,480 Speaker 6: persevere and are inspiring our nation and in building that resolve. 595 00:35:42,560 --> 00:35:45,680 Speaker 6: They couldn't stand for those things simply because you know, Clady, 596 00:35:45,880 --> 00:35:48,800 Speaker 6: your point like, they're scared of the far left of 597 00:35:48,840 --> 00:35:51,800 Speaker 6: their base. They're scared of being called out on social media. 598 00:35:51,840 --> 00:35:55,400 Speaker 6: I mean, it's it's it's it's absolutely absurd. But what 599 00:35:55,400 --> 00:35:58,400 Speaker 6: what what What it ultimately does It reveals the nature 600 00:35:58,440 --> 00:36:02,200 Speaker 6: of who they are is Democrats in terms of the 601 00:36:02,239 --> 00:36:04,560 Speaker 6: members of the House and Senate. It reveals who they are. 602 00:36:04,600 --> 00:36:08,239 Speaker 6: So we saw that on full display last night. But 603 00:36:08,320 --> 00:36:12,480 Speaker 6: we also saw a president it was completely in control 604 00:36:13,080 --> 00:36:17,480 Speaker 6: of this vision of this country that is about unity, 605 00:36:17,600 --> 00:36:21,080 Speaker 6: It's about protecting our southern border. It's about unleashing our 606 00:36:21,200 --> 00:36:24,759 Speaker 6: economy and making it work for every American. That was 607 00:36:24,760 --> 00:36:27,680 Speaker 6: the contrast that last night. And let me tell you, 608 00:36:27,680 --> 00:36:31,080 Speaker 6: I couldn't be prouder to be a Republican and someone 609 00:36:31,080 --> 00:36:35,280 Speaker 6: who wants to help President Trump enact as America First Agenda. 610 00:36:35,600 --> 00:36:38,480 Speaker 1: We're speaking to Daniel Cameron, former Attorney General of Kentucky. 611 00:36:38,520 --> 00:36:42,600 Speaker 1: He's running for Senate. I assume I just always find 612 00:36:42,600 --> 00:36:46,560 Speaker 1: this so interesting, Daniel. I assume that in your state 613 00:36:46,680 --> 00:36:51,040 Speaker 1: it will be something similar to other red states where 614 00:36:51,080 --> 00:36:54,120 Speaker 1: Democrats try to steal a Senate seat. Whoever you're going 615 00:36:54,200 --> 00:36:56,680 Speaker 1: to run against on the Democrat side is going to 616 00:36:56,760 --> 00:36:59,280 Speaker 1: basically tell everybody in Kentucky they're not really a Democrat, 617 00:36:59,360 --> 00:37:02,799 Speaker 1: right your expectation. I know you don't even know necessarily 618 00:37:03,239 --> 00:37:06,480 Speaker 1: who you're going to be dealing with, but how else 619 00:37:06,520 --> 00:37:09,120 Speaker 1: could they win in a state like yours other than pretending, 620 00:37:09,560 --> 00:37:12,400 Speaker 1: Especially given where the Democrat Party is right now, I 621 00:37:12,400 --> 00:37:14,959 Speaker 1: think it's at one of the lowest points in terms 622 00:37:14,960 --> 00:37:18,520 Speaker 1: of overall favorability nationwide it has been in in certainly 623 00:37:18,600 --> 00:37:21,359 Speaker 1: living memory. So to run against you, is the person 624 00:37:21,480 --> 00:37:22,839 Speaker 1: going to have to just say I'm one of those 625 00:37:22,840 --> 00:37:24,840 Speaker 1: Democrats who's not really a Democrat. 626 00:37:26,120 --> 00:37:28,160 Speaker 6: Honestly, I hand it with Buck. 627 00:37:28,520 --> 00:37:29,200 Speaker 1: I don't know a. 628 00:37:29,120 --> 00:37:31,920 Speaker 6: Story they're gonna be able to share, because you know, 629 00:37:31,960 --> 00:37:34,719 Speaker 6: what people in Kentucky care about, and President Trump won 630 00:37:34,760 --> 00:37:38,040 Speaker 6: this state overwhelmingly, and what people here in Kentucky care 631 00:37:38,040 --> 00:37:41,600 Speaker 6: about is are you going to help support President Trump's agenda? 632 00:37:42,080 --> 00:37:45,799 Speaker 6: And the Democrats, whether it's Bashir who just two weeks 633 00:37:45,800 --> 00:37:49,640 Speaker 6: ago sued Donald Trump, whether it's him or any other 634 00:37:50,239 --> 00:37:54,600 Speaker 6: Democrat who you know has aspirations of a different office, 635 00:37:55,800 --> 00:37:58,160 Speaker 6: they're not going to be able to pass that litmus 636 00:37:58,200 --> 00:38:02,440 Speaker 6: test because they have shown repeatedly that they opposed the 637 00:38:02,480 --> 00:38:07,839 Speaker 6: Trump agenda, an agenda that I should say that the 638 00:38:07,840 --> 00:38:12,200 Speaker 6: majority of Kentuckian's value and support. And so again I 639 00:38:12,200 --> 00:38:13,960 Speaker 6: don't know what they're going to do on that side 640 00:38:14,600 --> 00:38:17,080 Speaker 6: of the ledger. What I know is that when it 641 00:38:17,160 --> 00:38:19,840 Speaker 6: comes to look, I was the first statewide elected office 642 00:38:19,840 --> 00:38:24,680 Speaker 6: holder in Kentucky to endorse President Trump for reelection. I've 643 00:38:24,719 --> 00:38:26,840 Speaker 6: been with him. I was fortunate enough to speak on 644 00:38:26,880 --> 00:38:30,680 Speaker 6: his path and the RNC convention in twenty twenty. I 645 00:38:30,719 --> 00:38:33,360 Speaker 6: support the President and his agenda, and I want to 646 00:38:33,400 --> 00:38:35,160 Speaker 6: stand up for the values and the men, women and 647 00:38:35,239 --> 00:38:37,719 Speaker 6: children of our one hundred and twenty counties because again, 648 00:38:37,760 --> 00:38:43,440 Speaker 6: whether it's illegal immigration, whether it is the abuses of 649 00:38:44,040 --> 00:38:47,799 Speaker 6: opioids that have come into this state because of a 650 00:38:47,840 --> 00:38:51,960 Speaker 6: poor southern border, whether it's helping unleash our economy, these 651 00:38:52,000 --> 00:38:54,160 Speaker 6: are things that my wife and I care about because 652 00:38:54,160 --> 00:38:56,600 Speaker 6: we've got two little boys, and we want to make 653 00:38:56,640 --> 00:38:59,719 Speaker 6: sure that this country is the best and greatest version 654 00:38:59,719 --> 00:39:02,160 Speaker 6: of it. If you talk about somebody wanting to help 655 00:39:02,239 --> 00:39:06,280 Speaker 6: unleash the Golden Age or the Golden era in America, 656 00:39:06,840 --> 00:39:09,720 Speaker 6: that's me because I know that that will ultimately benefit 657 00:39:09,880 --> 00:39:10,640 Speaker 6: our kids. 658 00:39:11,080 --> 00:39:13,759 Speaker 3: I'm talking to Daniel Cameron running for the Senate in 659 00:39:13,840 --> 00:39:17,520 Speaker 3: the state of Kentucky. You mentioned Trump and your endorsement 660 00:39:17,640 --> 00:39:21,400 Speaker 3: of Trump. Do you expect for Trump to endorse in 661 00:39:21,560 --> 00:39:24,680 Speaker 3: your race, and if so, what kind of time frame 662 00:39:24,760 --> 00:39:27,680 Speaker 3: might that look like. I presume you will certainly be 663 00:39:27,800 --> 00:39:31,120 Speaker 3: seeking his endorsement. What is that process like and what 664 00:39:31,160 --> 00:39:32,040 Speaker 3: do you anticipate? 665 00:39:33,040 --> 00:39:36,760 Speaker 6: Well, I certainly hope to earn his support and trust again, 666 00:39:37,040 --> 00:39:39,160 Speaker 6: and obviously, you know that's a judgment. 667 00:39:38,760 --> 00:39:40,080 Speaker 5: And decision that he has to make. 668 00:39:40,120 --> 00:39:43,320 Speaker 6: But in conjunction with that, it's getting out and talking 669 00:39:43,320 --> 00:39:46,840 Speaker 6: to as many primary voters as I possibly can. Obviously, 670 00:39:46,880 --> 00:39:51,480 Speaker 6: in a very crowded Republican primary for governor, I won 671 00:39:51,520 --> 00:39:54,799 Speaker 6: that with nearly fifty percent of the vote.

Still, the speech 768 00:44:17,000 --> 00:44:21,920 Speaker 1: from last night, some news that has broken this morning. Overall, 769 00:44:22,120 --> 00:44:27,400 Speaker 1: I think the speech is something that was very effective. 770 00:44:27,680 --> 00:44:29,960 Speaker 1: I think the numbers show that. I think the perception 771 00:44:30,760 --> 00:44:33,440 Speaker 1: on the right is that Trump is dialed in and 772 00:44:33,600 --> 00:44:37,040 Speaker 1: is doing a fantastic job. And Democrats will never admit 773 00:44:37,080 --> 00:44:40,040 Speaker 1: any of this, of course, but their opposition to him 774 00:44:40,160 --> 00:44:44,480 Speaker 1: is so lackluster and ineffective that I think that speaks 775 00:44:44,480 --> 00:44:48,160 Speaker 1: louder than anything they could say, which is proof, further 776 00:44:48,239 --> 00:44:51,920 Speaker 1: proof that Trump is on the right track. America is back, 777 00:44:52,040 --> 00:44:55,040 Speaker 1: and we are in the dawn of the Golden Age 778 00:44:55,320 --> 00:44:59,759 Speaker 1: of America. Clay, I don't think we played this one yet. 779 00:45:00,040 --> 00:45:02,120 Speaker 1: We did, apologies, but we could always hit it again. 780 00:45:02,680 --> 00:45:05,680 Speaker 1: It is CNN's David Chalie. Do we play him in 781 00:45:05,680 --> 00:45:07,440 Speaker 1: the very beginning of the show. We might have, But 782 00:45:07,920 --> 00:45:11,360 Speaker 1: here he is, this has cut eight and he's saying 783 00:45:11,480 --> 00:45:15,279 Speaker 1: according to CNN's snappole or whatever it is that they 784 00:45:15,320 --> 00:45:19,080 Speaker 1: do their instapol. These are the numbers when it comes 785 00:45:19,080 --> 00:45:22,719 Speaker 1: to positivity and reacting to Trump's speech. Play it to 786 00:45:22,800 --> 00:45:23,360 Speaker 1: the results. 787 00:45:23,480 --> 00:45:26,560 Speaker 7: What was your reaction to Trump's speech? Forty four percent 788 00:45:26,880 --> 00:45:29,439 Speaker 7: of speech watchers and our instant potents and might say 789 00:45:29,480 --> 00:45:32,759 Speaker 7: they had a very positive reaction to Trump's speech. Twenty 790 00:45:32,840 --> 00:45:36,280 Speaker 7: five percent somewhat positive, thirty one percent negative. 791 00:45:38,880 --> 00:45:41,560 Speaker 1: Sixty nine percent of Americans, this is what it says 792 00:45:41,560 --> 00:45:45,080 Speaker 1: on the sheet had a had a positive or very 793 00:45:45,120 --> 00:45:50,000 Speaker 1: positive reaction to President Trump's speech. So I don't know, 794 00:45:50,040 --> 00:45:52,760 Speaker 1: is that incorrect, guys, because that was the number added 795 00:45:52,880 --> 00:45:56,360 Speaker 1: up strongly positive. That's what I thought. Okay, So the 796 00:45:56,400 --> 00:45:59,400 Speaker 1: point here is sixty nine percent thought that it was 797 00:45:59,440 --> 00:46:02,279 Speaker 1: either good or great, which means that you're looking at 798 00:46:02,320 --> 00:46:07,080 Speaker 1: a seventy percent approval of the speech overall, the tone, overall. 799 00:46:07,320 --> 00:46:09,640 Speaker 1: It's tough to get seventy percent of Americans to agree 800 00:46:09,640 --> 00:46:11,080 Speaker 1: on much of anything these days. 801 00:46:11,680 --> 00:46:17,840 Speaker 3: Trump has strung together a large coalition built around common sense, 802 00:46:18,520 --> 00:46:24,840 Speaker 3: and Democrats have combated his common sense revolution by going 803 00:46:25,120 --> 00:46:31,360 Speaker 3: further over the woke waterfall, and again, I think, just 804 00:46:31,520 --> 00:46:36,400 Speaker 3: delegitimizing themselves as a legitimate party. And I know this 805 00:46:36,480 --> 00:46:38,880 Speaker 3: because I see and hear and meet so many of 806 00:46:38,880 --> 00:46:43,239 Speaker 3: you out there. This audience for this show in particular 807 00:46:43,960 --> 00:46:49,400 Speaker 3: is growing in record amounts because the rest of the 808 00:46:49,520 --> 00:46:53,680 Speaker 3: media has totally lost its mind, and I do think 809 00:46:53,719 --> 00:46:59,080 Speaker 3: this is significant. More Democrats watch Fox News than watch 810 00:46:59,239 --> 00:47:03,600 Speaker 3: MSNBC or CNN now and if you are looking out there, 811 00:47:03,600 --> 00:47:07,759 Speaker 3: I mean sometimes I saw Brett Beher's interview with Zelensky 812 00:47:08,320 --> 00:47:11,960 Speaker 3: had a seventy five percent new share seventy five percent, 813 00:47:13,440 --> 00:47:17,040 Speaker 3: And if you are now a Democrat politician, you're like, Hey, 814 00:47:17,120 --> 00:47:20,279 Speaker 3: we should go on Fox News to actually talk to Democrats. 815 00:47:20,760 --> 00:47:23,600 Speaker 3: I don't think that's crazy for this show either. If 816 00:47:23,640 --> 00:47:25,839 Speaker 3: I were Eric Adams and I was running for mayor 817 00:47:25,880 --> 00:47:27,479 Speaker 3: of New York City and I were trying to figure 818 00:47:27,520 --> 00:47:30,240 Speaker 3: out how to address a huge audience of potential voters, 819 00:47:30,640 --> 00:47:34,160 Speaker 3: I would be begging to come on WR our affiliate 820 00:47:34,200 --> 00:47:36,160 Speaker 3: in New York City and talk to this audience. The 821 00:47:36,200 --> 00:47:39,040 Speaker 3: same thing for Andrew Cuomo. If you're trying to talk 822 00:47:39,080 --> 00:47:42,160 Speaker 3: to the biggest possible audience out there, it feels to 823 00:47:42,239 --> 00:47:45,759 Speaker 3: me like Democrats have painted themselves into a corner, and 824 00:47:45,800 --> 00:47:47,959 Speaker 3: they keep painting themselves into a. 825 00:47:47,880 --> 00:47:49,760 Speaker 1: Smaller and smaller corner. 826 00:47:50,280 --> 00:47:54,680 Speaker 3: And Trump's speech, if you take away Trump's involvement from it, 827 00:47:54,760 --> 00:47:56,960 Speaker 3: I thought he was great when he pointed it out 828 00:47:56,960 --> 00:48:01,400 Speaker 3: with RFK Junior. Remember they talked and wrote about what 829 00:48:01,600 --> 00:48:04,640 Speaker 3: a master stroke putting RFK Junior would have been for 830 00:48:04,760 --> 00:48:08,840 Speaker 3: Obama in his cabinet, and Trump rightly pointed out during 831 00:48:08,920 --> 00:48:11,480 Speaker 3: the speech that when he gave a shout out to 832 00:48:11,600 --> 00:48:15,759 Speaker 3: RFK Junior, if Obama had done it, everybody would have 833 00:48:15,880 --> 00:48:19,160 Speaker 3: cheered like crazy on the Democrat side of the aisle. 834 00:48:19,560 --> 00:48:21,439 Speaker 3: And the way that this started, Buck and we talked 835 00:48:21,440 --> 00:48:24,319 Speaker 3: about this off the top with Al Green and his 836 00:48:24,560 --> 00:48:28,920 Speaker 3: cane haranguing Trump and being forced to be evicted from 837 00:48:29,160 --> 00:48:34,920 Speaker 3: the chambers. Remember, it wasn't very long ago that it 838 00:48:35,000 --> 00:48:40,440 Speaker 3: was considered uncouth, unacceptable behavior. I believe it was in 839 00:48:40,480 --> 00:48:44,640 Speaker 3: two thousand and nine. For the Republican in the crowd 840 00:48:44,920 --> 00:48:48,560 Speaker 3: to yell out you lie to Obama, that was considered 841 00:48:48,600 --> 00:48:52,400 Speaker 3: to be beyond the pale. He had to apologize. Democrats 842 00:48:52,480 --> 00:48:55,680 Speaker 3: took a ton of flak for it. Basically, there were 843 00:48:55,920 --> 00:48:59,880 Speaker 3: thirty or so interruptions and Republicans a lot of fla 844 00:49:00,000 --> 00:49:01,960 Speaker 3: That's what I'm saying. Back in two thousand and nine, 845 00:49:02,320 --> 00:49:04,440 Speaker 3: and now you've got I don't think it's crazy to 846 00:49:04,480 --> 00:49:07,600 Speaker 3: say the people who were in that chamber say that 847 00:49:07,760 --> 00:49:11,239 Speaker 3: much of the disruption wasn't picked up by the audio, 848 00:49:11,560 --> 00:49:14,240 Speaker 3: but there were constantly people walking out the al Green 849 00:49:14,320 --> 00:49:19,000 Speaker 3: thing was impossible to ignore. Democrats have lost their minds, 850 00:49:19,640 --> 00:49:23,600 Speaker 3: and they lost the ability to even connect with their 851 00:49:23,640 --> 00:49:26,960 Speaker 3: basic humanity when they're not standing up for a thirteen 852 00:49:27,040 --> 00:49:31,480 Speaker 3: year old kid who's being honored as a Secret Service 853 00:49:31,560 --> 00:49:35,920 Speaker 3: agent because of his commitment having overcome brain cancer to. 854 00:49:37,840 --> 00:49:38,400 Speaker 1: The police. 855 00:49:38,960 --> 00:49:42,680 Speaker 3: And I loved that moment, Buck for many reasons, but 856 00:49:42,760 --> 00:49:45,480 Speaker 3: in particular because it finally feels we were talking about 857 00:49:45,520 --> 00:49:50,320 Speaker 3: BLM Plaza, we're swinging back away from police are everything 858 00:49:50,360 --> 00:49:52,680 Speaker 3: that is awful in America. It used to be an 859 00:49:52,680 --> 00:49:55,520 Speaker 3: aspirational goal to be a police officer for many young 860 00:49:55,600 --> 00:49:58,520 Speaker 3: kids out there of all different backgrounds, and it feels 861 00:49:58,560 --> 00:50:02,000 Speaker 3: like we're finally starting direct recognize, Hey, police are the 862 00:50:02,000 --> 00:50:02,719 Speaker 3: good guys again. 863 00:50:03,160 --> 00:50:07,080 Speaker 1: Well, police in America, by the numbers, are phenomenal and 864 00:50:08,040 --> 00:50:10,520 Speaker 1: given especially what they have to deal with in high 865 00:50:10,520 --> 00:50:14,719 Speaker 1: crime neighborhoods, the numbers show that we have an incredibly 866 00:50:14,719 --> 00:50:20,799 Speaker 1: well trained, professional, and humane and constitutional law enforcement. But 867 00:50:21,000 --> 00:50:23,600 Speaker 1: that's not what Democrats want people to believe, because it's 868 00:50:23,640 --> 00:50:25,680 Speaker 1: easier to put the blame on the police than to 869 00:50:25,719 --> 00:50:27,960 Speaker 1: look at other problems and challenges. But you know, I 870 00:50:28,000 --> 00:50:30,799 Speaker 1: was thinking about this Clay you probably had this experience. 871 00:50:31,040 --> 00:50:32,880 Speaker 1: We haven't talked much about our I mean, you know, 872 00:50:33,040 --> 00:50:36,080 Speaker 1: high school athletics, but remember when you were on a 873 00:50:36,080 --> 00:50:39,239 Speaker 1: pretty good team and if you lost a close game 874 00:50:39,280 --> 00:50:41,040 Speaker 1: to somebody when you're a kid. I mean I'm thinking 875 00:50:41,040 --> 00:50:44,680 Speaker 1: about you know, basketball, soccer, sports I played. You were like, 876 00:50:44,719 --> 00:50:46,840 Speaker 1: oh man, I can't You were looking on the schedule 877 00:50:47,280 --> 00:50:49,720 Speaker 1: and you couldn't wait to play them again. You walked 878 00:50:49,719 --> 00:50:51,879 Speaker 1: off that field if it was a really tough game 879 00:50:52,200 --> 00:50:54,400 Speaker 1: and you felt, you know, oh we were robbed. We 880 00:50:54,440 --> 00:50:56,400 Speaker 1: could have won. And I don't know if you've ever 881 00:50:56,440 --> 00:50:58,600 Speaker 1: had this, I've also had the other thing where you 882 00:50:58,640 --> 00:51:01,560 Speaker 1: get so obliterated because you played like the States Select 883 00:51:01,560 --> 00:51:04,560 Speaker 1: team or something, when they're just in another level. You're like, 884 00:51:04,800 --> 00:51:07,640 Speaker 1: I never want to see those guys again. That's really 885 00:51:07,920 --> 00:51:10,200 Speaker 1: that was a real tough one. I don't want to 886 00:51:10,200 --> 00:51:12,920 Speaker 1: ever have to come up against. Democrats are looking a 887 00:51:12,960 --> 00:51:16,080 Speaker 1: little bit like that these days in terms of where 888 00:51:16,080 --> 00:51:18,600 Speaker 1: they are as a political party. You know, they look 889 00:51:18,719 --> 00:51:25,080 Speaker 1: like they have been completely gobsmacked. Jake Tapper, who's busy 890 00:51:25,160 --> 00:51:29,719 Speaker 1: promoting the book on the Biden lie, hmm, very suspect 891 00:51:30,040 --> 00:51:32,319 Speaker 1: here he is saying over at CNN. This is cut 892 00:51:32,360 --> 00:51:35,960 Speaker 1: four that the Democrats are totally demoralized. 893 00:51:36,680 --> 00:51:40,960 Speaker 8: You can really sense Republicans with a pep in their 894 00:51:41,120 --> 00:51:46,759 Speaker 8: step and Democrats rather demoralized. They mean, understandably so, given 895 00:51:46,800 --> 00:51:50,000 Speaker 8: the fact that Republicans control the House, the Senate, and 896 00:51:50,040 --> 00:51:52,759 Speaker 8: the White House, not to mention a conservative lean on 897 00:51:53,160 --> 00:51:56,480 Speaker 8: the US Supreme Court. But beyond that, even when the 898 00:51:56,520 --> 00:51:59,920 Speaker 8: Republicans are out of power, you sense like an energy 899 00:52:00,200 --> 00:52:03,439 Speaker 8: quite often when and when when Democrats are controlling things. 900 00:52:03,520 --> 00:52:05,840 Speaker 8: The Democrats, and not to be cliche about it, but 901 00:52:05,880 --> 00:52:07,160 Speaker 8: they are in this array. 902 00:52:07,320 --> 00:52:10,240 Speaker 5: They do not know how to how. 903 00:52:10,120 --> 00:52:11,719 Speaker 8: To be the opposition for us. 904 00:52:12,320 --> 00:52:14,400 Speaker 1: I mean, here's the easiest way to put it, Clay. 905 00:52:14,920 --> 00:52:18,040 Speaker 1: We can't we sit here and it's not even clear 906 00:52:18,719 --> 00:52:22,080 Speaker 1: who we should be publicly arguing with on the Democrat 907 00:52:22,280 --> 00:52:26,880 Speaker 1: side to tackle whatever the opposition to Trump's policies may be. 908 00:52:27,680 --> 00:52:31,840 Speaker 1: There doesn't seem this is like in Troy when Brad 909 00:52:31,880 --> 00:52:34,600 Speaker 1: Pitt defeats the giant guy and then he's like, is 910 00:52:34,600 --> 00:52:37,719 Speaker 1: there anybody else? And no one comes forward. There does 911 00:52:37,760 --> 00:52:40,240 Speaker 1: not seem to be anybody else on the Democrat side. 912 00:52:40,480 --> 00:52:43,400 Speaker 3: I like your analogy about the sports. I'll take it 913 00:52:43,440 --> 00:52:47,120 Speaker 3: to coaching, because that's what I've done. More recently, I 914 00:52:47,200 --> 00:52:50,399 Speaker 3: was coaching twelve U basketball a couple of years ago, 915 00:52:50,480 --> 00:52:54,560 Speaker 3: I think, and one of the team we played against, 916 00:52:54,960 --> 00:52:57,719 Speaker 3: every kid had a mustache. And I don't know how 917 00:52:57,760 --> 00:53:01,440 Speaker 3: that was possible, but but any of you who have 918 00:53:01,560 --> 00:53:05,560 Speaker 3: coached like Little League baseball or like adolescent moving towards 919 00:53:05,920 --> 00:53:08,080 Speaker 3: as soon as a kid has a mustache, he's got 920 00:53:08,080 --> 00:53:11,799 Speaker 3: some testosterone. It's not little boy ball anymore. Somehow, we 921 00:53:11,840 --> 00:53:15,319 Speaker 3: played against the team where every kid had a mustache, and. 922 00:53:15,320 --> 00:53:16,920 Speaker 1: I remember, I'm twelve. 923 00:53:17,000 --> 00:53:19,799 Speaker 3: You I remember taking a time out and I don't know, 924 00:53:19,840 --> 00:53:22,319 Speaker 3: we were down like thirty to six or something. I mean, 925 00:53:22,360 --> 00:53:24,120 Speaker 3: these kids were just I mean it was like I 926 00:53:24,200 --> 00:53:27,320 Speaker 3: was like coaching the Washington Generals against the Harlem Globe 927 00:53:27,320 --> 00:53:28,120 Speaker 3: Trotters right now. 928 00:53:28,120 --> 00:53:29,480 Speaker 1: I was the Generals. 929 00:53:29,400 --> 00:53:33,040 Speaker 3: And the kids come over and uh and you know, 930 00:53:33,320 --> 00:53:35,799 Speaker 3: as a coach, you just got nothing, like there is 931 00:53:35,960 --> 00:53:37,640 Speaker 3: nothing you got this. You got the board, you know, 932 00:53:37,719 --> 00:53:41,120 Speaker 3: buck where you're like, hey, let me draw the play, 933 00:53:41,560 --> 00:53:43,920 Speaker 3: and the play's not gonna work, like and they don't play, 934 00:53:43,960 --> 00:53:45,000 Speaker 3: He's not gonna work there. 935 00:53:45,239 --> 00:53:45,440 Speaker 5: You know. 936 00:53:45,480 --> 00:53:47,920 Speaker 3: I was joking afterwards with their dads. I think some 937 00:53:47,960 --> 00:53:50,000 Speaker 3: of these kids. I think some of these kids drove here. 938 00:53:50,080 --> 00:53:52,120 Speaker 3: You know, it's twelve you basketball kids like pulling up 939 00:53:52,120 --> 00:53:54,719 Speaker 3: in their own I think some of them have kids themselves. 940 00:53:54,840 --> 00:53:56,680 Speaker 3: And uh and and like I'm sitting there with the 941 00:53:56,760 --> 00:54:00,319 Speaker 3: dry erase board and uh and I feel like the 942 00:54:00,360 --> 00:54:03,479 Speaker 3: Democrats right now are like me in that game buck. 943 00:54:03,600 --> 00:54:05,080 Speaker 1: They've got the dry erase board. 944 00:54:05,160 --> 00:54:08,759 Speaker 3: Literally, they had the dry erase boards in the in 945 00:54:08,840 --> 00:54:12,840 Speaker 3: the House chamber and they're just writing like pay your taxes, 946 00:54:13,040 --> 00:54:17,120 Speaker 3: elon steeles and and these are not game plans that 947 00:54:17,120 --> 00:54:20,920 Speaker 3: are gonna work. But they're so utterly defeated right now. 948 00:54:21,320 --> 00:54:26,040 Speaker 3: They don't even have a strategy to respond to the opposition. 949 00:54:26,520 --> 00:54:28,799 Speaker 3: And to your point, they don't even have somebody who 950 00:54:28,840 --> 00:54:31,520 Speaker 3: can step forward and you can be like, oh, that's 951 00:54:31,600 --> 00:54:33,880 Speaker 3: the guy or that's the gal who is going to 952 00:54:33,920 --> 00:54:38,000 Speaker 3: elucidate their worldview better than someone else. I don't ever 953 00:54:38,080 --> 00:54:40,480 Speaker 3: remember seeing a void like this. They're usually in a 954 00:54:40,480 --> 00:54:41,680 Speaker 3: way I haven't seen it happen. 955 00:54:42,440 --> 00:54:46,200 Speaker 1: Usually the leadership of a political party is in a 956 00:54:46,239 --> 00:54:49,439 Speaker 1: moment like this, I would say, fractured between a few 957 00:54:49,520 --> 00:54:53,200 Speaker 1: different competing voices. That would be far more normal. Right, 958 00:54:53,239 --> 00:54:56,279 Speaker 1: you look back to Trump's first term. You had, you know, 959 00:54:56,480 --> 00:55:01,960 Speaker 1: the Obama and Obama heights around him, obviously, Joe Biden, 960 00:55:02,920 --> 00:55:06,880 Speaker 1: you had Elizabeth Warren, you had Bernie Sanders. Now I 961 00:55:06,960 --> 00:55:10,320 Speaker 1: understand they're still around, but their potency as political figures 962 00:55:10,360 --> 00:55:14,239 Speaker 1: has dramatically declined. And with Bernie Sanders, he's just so 963 00:55:14,280 --> 00:55:16,440 Speaker 1: old no one thinks he's going to be president, so 964 00:55:17,040 --> 00:55:19,600 Speaker 1: they're not. It's not just that they don't have a 965 00:55:19,640 --> 00:55:23,000 Speaker 1: single person. They don't even have a stable of people 966 00:55:23,000 --> 00:55:25,719 Speaker 1: who are trying to emerge. And it's not just about 967 00:55:25,760 --> 00:55:29,000 Speaker 1: those individuals, it's about what the message may be when 968 00:55:29,040 --> 00:55:31,920 Speaker 1: they do. When they do things like say Elon is stealing, 969 00:55:32,480 --> 00:55:36,879 Speaker 1: they're trying to make an argument to normal, everyday Americans 970 00:55:37,400 --> 00:55:40,719 Speaker 1: that the richest man in the world has decided to 971 00:55:40,719 --> 00:55:46,240 Speaker 1: put himself in the crosshairs of lunatics because he cares 972 00:55:46,239 --> 00:55:48,120 Speaker 1: a little bit about the stock price going up on 973 00:55:48,120 --> 00:55:52,320 Speaker 1: one of his many hundreds of billions of dollar value companies. 974 00:55:52,560 --> 00:55:55,879 Speaker 1: And they're effectively arguing Clay that a literal or soon 975 00:55:55,920 --> 00:56:00,160 Speaker 1: to be trillionaire needs a five percent bumping, and it's 976 00:56:00,200 --> 00:56:03,480 Speaker 1: not when in actuality, he's taken on tremendous headaches This 977 00:56:03,600 --> 00:56:06,400 Speaker 1: is just an irrational argument. But it reminds me of 978 00:56:06,480 --> 00:56:07,600 Speaker 1: if you've ever I don't know if any of you 979 00:56:07,600 --> 00:56:10,120 Speaker 1: have ever been this position where you've been right in 980 00:56:10,120 --> 00:56:12,560 Speaker 1: an argument with somebody, maybe somebody very close to you, 981 00:56:13,120 --> 00:56:15,120 Speaker 1: and you're right on the merits, and then all of 982 00:56:15,120 --> 00:56:18,720 Speaker 1: a sudden it's I don't like your tone. They're tone 983 00:56:18,840 --> 00:56:23,160 Speaker 1: policing Elon with Oh, but the way he's doing it 984 00:56:23,200 --> 00:56:25,560 Speaker 1: is and I agree with the cuts. I agree with 985 00:56:25,719 --> 00:56:27,799 Speaker 1: ending the fraud, but I don't like the way he's 986 00:56:27,840 --> 00:56:31,840 Speaker 1: doing it. It's too haphazard, Clay, that's not a serious 987 00:56:32,040 --> 00:56:34,560 Speaker 1: argument against it, right. This is not a you either 988 00:56:34,600 --> 00:56:36,440 Speaker 1: want it to happen or not. No one's ever done 989 00:56:36,440 --> 00:56:38,319 Speaker 1: it before. Do you want it to happen? Yes or no? 990 00:56:38,400 --> 00:56:41,000 Speaker 1: They play this game of, oh, we want the same result, 991 00:56:41,080 --> 00:56:43,520 Speaker 1: we would just go about it differently, even though they've 992 00:56:43,600 --> 00:56:46,640 Speaker 1: never actually done that, and all they do is make 993 00:56:46,680 --> 00:56:48,919 Speaker 1: it harder to get to the result. I think people 994 00:56:48,960 --> 00:56:51,240 Speaker 1: are seeing through it. So this is why I believe 995 00:56:51,239 --> 00:56:56,120 Speaker 1: it's also getting increasingly pathetic for them, because with their 996 00:56:56,239 --> 00:56:59,560 Speaker 1: arguments being made, it's backing them into a more difficult corner. 997 00:57:01,000 --> 00:57:03,799 Speaker 3: The arguments are awful, They aren't supported by the vast 998 00:57:03,840 --> 00:57:08,640 Speaker 3: majority of the American public, and you actually are ending up. 999 00:57:08,680 --> 00:57:11,040 Speaker 3: I mean, we come back. I'll play audio clip of 1000 00:57:12,200 --> 00:57:15,400 Speaker 3: Jasmine Crockett, who somehow has become a prominent spokesperson for 1001 00:57:15,440 --> 00:57:19,720 Speaker 3: the Democrat Party. She's a moron and she actually alienates 1002 00:57:19,840 --> 00:57:23,600 Speaker 3: far more people than she would ever bring in. And 1003 00:57:24,080 --> 00:57:26,640 Speaker 3: that's kind of where we are in terms of people 1004 00:57:26,680 --> 00:57:29,800 Speaker 3: clamoring to be the official spokesperson of the Democrat Party. 1005 00:57:29,920 --> 00:57:32,280 Speaker 1: You know, you spoke about it as from the coach perspective, Clay, 1006 00:57:32,320 --> 00:57:35,720 Speaker 1: Just real quick. I played in a basketball tournament in 1007 00:57:35,760 --> 00:57:37,560 Speaker 1: the eighth grade when I was playing a fair amount 1008 00:57:37,560 --> 00:57:39,360 Speaker 1: of basketball, so I was very young, young I guess 1009 00:57:39,360 --> 00:57:42,120 Speaker 1: I'm fourteen or something like that at that point, and 1010 00:57:42,200 --> 00:57:46,440 Speaker 1: someone dunked that we were playing against. Someone dunked, yeah, 1011 00:57:46,480 --> 00:57:50,520 Speaker 1: and I remember it's like it's all over. Just with that, 1012 00:57:50,640 --> 00:57:53,080 Speaker 1: You're like, this is not gonna go. Well, it's a 1013 00:57:53,120 --> 00:57:56,080 Speaker 1: bit like Trump dunked on the Democrats last night, and 1014 00:57:56,120 --> 00:57:58,200 Speaker 1: they're at that phase of basketball where they like to 1015 00:57:58,280 --> 00:57:59,760 Speaker 1: just touch the bottom of the net and think that 1016 00:57:59,760 --> 00:58:01,280 Speaker 1: that's that's cool.
