1 00:00:00,600 --> 00:00:04,720 Speaker 1: Welcome in everybody. Thursday edition of The Clay and Buck 2 00:00:04,920 --> 00:00:10,240 Speaker 1: KOs starts right now. We are just days away. What 3 00:00:10,320 --> 00:00:13,000 Speaker 1: are the twelve days now? I think twelve days from 4 00:00:13,600 --> 00:00:18,880 Speaker 1: the big day, Election Day and the final pitch from 5 00:00:18,920 --> 00:00:21,560 Speaker 1: the campaigns from each of them, Donald Trump running against 6 00:00:21,600 --> 00:00:27,360 Speaker 1: Kamala Harris. Trump is out there having fun, telling people's stories, 7 00:00:27,400 --> 00:00:30,320 Speaker 1: slapping them on the back, talking about making America great 8 00:00:30,360 --> 00:00:34,320 Speaker 1: once again, booming the economy, securing the borders, all this stuff. 9 00:00:34,960 --> 00:00:40,680 Speaker 1: And the Kamala campaigns response, their last ditch effort to 10 00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:46,080 Speaker 1: get a wave of independent swing voters to go with 11 00:00:46,120 --> 00:00:49,960 Speaker 1: them is Donald Trump is hitler. That's what they're saying, 12 00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:52,960 Speaker 1: and he's a fascist. They're saying all kinds of crazy stuff. 13 00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:55,040 Speaker 1: We will dive into this, but I think this is 14 00:00:55,760 --> 00:00:59,400 Speaker 1: a desperation time for their campaign. It sounds certainly very 15 00:00:59,400 --> 00:01:03,320 Speaker 1: desperate to me me. We've also got some great guests today. 16 00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:05,560 Speaker 1: I want to tell you where we're going with all that. 17 00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:09,680 Speaker 1: We will talk to our buddy Ryan Gradusky, political analyst 18 00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:15,040 Speaker 1: extraordinaire about the latest numbers. We'll talk to him about 19 00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:17,360 Speaker 1: what the early voting is and what the you know, 20 00:01:17,480 --> 00:01:19,360 Speaker 1: to the degree that polls are still giving you a 21 00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:22,640 Speaker 1: snapshot of what to expect. Ryan's going to jump in 22 00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:25,399 Speaker 1: with that. We'll also got Derek Anderson joining candidate for 23 00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:30,280 Speaker 1: Congress in the seventh district in Virginia, former former Army 24 00:01:30,319 --> 00:01:33,760 Speaker 1: Special Forces green beret, straining with the IDF in the past. 25 00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:38,039 Speaker 1: He's going for the seat currently held by Abigail Spanberger, 26 00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:41,279 Speaker 1: who stepped down to run for governor. So another another 27 00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:45,720 Speaker 1: Virginia race and another like special Operations guy. It's funny 28 00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:48,320 Speaker 1: the Democrats play are like why are we losing the 29 00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:50,640 Speaker 1: masculine voting? It's like, I don't know, why are all 30 00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:54,280 Speaker 1: the Specops guys Republicans? Maybe there's maybe there's something they're 31 00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:56,280 Speaker 1: missing here, you know what I mean? Also, what about 32 00:01:56,480 --> 00:01:58,120 Speaker 1: just this is my thing? 33 00:01:58,160 --> 00:02:01,800 Speaker 2: In general? I understand some professional politicians are good at 34 00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:02,280 Speaker 2: their jobs. 35 00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:02,720 Speaker 1: That's great. 36 00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:07,360 Speaker 2: In an ideal world, wouldn't everybody be super accomplished in 37 00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:10,800 Speaker 2: another field before they decided to become a politician, Like 38 00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:13,680 Speaker 2: have success in your life as Hun Cow did yesterday, 39 00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:17,839 Speaker 2: as Derek Anderson, who we're going to talk to today has 40 00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:20,520 Speaker 2: done as well, and then decide that you want to 41 00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:23,760 Speaker 2: give back to the country by being a politician. This 42 00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:27,919 Speaker 2: idea of being a perpetual politician, the Joe Biden style 43 00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:31,200 Speaker 2: for forty seven years. I don't think that's what our 44 00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:34,360 Speaker 2: founders envisioned. I would like to see guys and gals 45 00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:38,040 Speaker 2: who have been successful in other walks of life decide, hey, 46 00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:40,480 Speaker 2: I've accomplished a lot here now I want to give back. 47 00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:43,000 Speaker 2: It seems like Republicans are far more often to be 48 00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:45,320 Speaker 2: doing that than Democrats are. 49 00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:49,960 Speaker 1: And perhaps Clay that's a good place to transition to. 50 00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:55,880 Speaker 1: How did Kamala Harris become the Democrat nominee? Oh wait? 51 00:02:56,320 --> 00:02:59,560 Speaker 1: How was she the vice president? How was she a senator? 52 00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:03,239 Speaker 1: How was she an Attorney general for the state of California. 53 00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:10,519 Speaker 1: This woman is a walking, talking political disaster. I don't 54 00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:12,840 Speaker 1: know how much more clear it could be. She had 55 00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:15,120 Speaker 1: the CNN town hall last night. Now, just to set 56 00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:19,040 Speaker 1: the stage here, CNN wanted Trump and Kamala to come 57 00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:22,160 Speaker 1: and debate, and Trump's like, no, and you know, I'm 58 00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:23,799 Speaker 1: not going to get into this. It doesn't matter. There's 59 00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:27,239 Speaker 1: no need to kind of re litigate this decision making. 60 00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:31,720 Speaker 1: But Trump didn't go, Kamala did, so it turned into 61 00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:34,200 Speaker 1: a Kamala town hall. I want to give you some 62 00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:36,800 Speaker 1: of this. There's some stuff that she's saying, Clay, that 63 00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:39,720 Speaker 1: we would have to put in the reckless and nasty category. 64 00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:40,400 Speaker 1: We'll get to that. 65 00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:44,640 Speaker 3: Trump is a fascist, but there's also I cannot believe 66 00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:47,880 Speaker 3: that Democrats really think this woman here, she is, she's 67 00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:50,200 Speaker 3: asked a question in this town hall it's cut nine 68 00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:52,000 Speaker 3: about her weaknesses. 69 00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:55,520 Speaker 1: I just want to be quiet and let you hear 70 00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:57,120 Speaker 1: what she says. 71 00:03:58,240 --> 00:04:00,360 Speaker 2: What weaknesses do you bring to the table on how 72 00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:03,080 Speaker 2: do you plan to overcome them while you're in office? 73 00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:07,600 Speaker 4: That's a great question, Joe. Well, I am certainly not perfect, 74 00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:15,600 Speaker 4: so let's start there. And I think that I perhaps 75 00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:17,680 Speaker 4: a weakness, some would say, but I actually think it's 76 00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:21,839 Speaker 4: the strength as I really do value having a team 77 00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:26,520 Speaker 4: of very smart people around me who bring to my 78 00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:33,800 Speaker 4: decision making process different perspectives. My team will tell you 79 00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:36,440 Speaker 4: I am constantly saying, let's kick the tire on that, 80 00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:38,040 Speaker 4: Let's kick the tires on it. 81 00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:43,880 Speaker 2: Let's kick the tires on it. Clay, it's such a 82 00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:49,520 Speaker 2: bad answer. I mean, I bet many of you have 83 00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:52,360 Speaker 2: gone to a job interview and been asked that question. 84 00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:55,600 Speaker 2: It is a very standard question, what is your biggest weakness? 85 00:04:56,200 --> 00:04:59,240 Speaker 2: And It's even one that you would prep for if 86 00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:01,520 Speaker 2: you were sitting around and you were nervous about an 87 00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:05,360 Speaker 2: interview and you said, hey, can I just practice maybe 88 00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:08,839 Speaker 2: with your mom, your dad, grandma, grandpa, friend, family member. 89 00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:11,400 Speaker 2: It's not uncommon if you're nervous about your first job 90 00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:15,440 Speaker 2: interview or really significant job interview, that you would kind 91 00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:17,560 Speaker 2: of work your way through it to prepare with what 92 00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:22,680 Speaker 2: your answers might be. Buck, She's been vice president for 93 00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:26,920 Speaker 2: four years and she can't answer one of the most 94 00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:30,839 Speaker 2: basic questions out there. And her answer is actually not 95 00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:33,320 Speaker 2: something that someone would ever say is a weakness. Some 96 00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:36,000 Speaker 2: people would say it's a weakness that I have really 97 00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:40,039 Speaker 2: smart people who advise me. What is the contrary to 98 00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:42,560 Speaker 2: that that you should have really dumb people who advise you. 99 00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:47,800 Speaker 2: Would anybody want that? I just she is so uniquely bad. 100 00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:51,800 Speaker 2: I watched this entire CNN town hall that they kept 101 00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:56,799 Speaker 2: her off the campaign trail to do Telemundo, to do NBC, 102 00:05:57,200 --> 00:05:59,960 Speaker 2: and to do this CNN town hall for basically two 103 00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:04,000 Speaker 2: full days, and she bombed in all three. The weakness 104 00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:08,960 Speaker 2: answer was really bad. Also, Buck, she was asked by 105 00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:12,880 Speaker 2: Anderson Cooper, who was far from the most difficult person 106 00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:16,840 Speaker 2: grilling you on questions what mistakes have you made and 107 00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:19,640 Speaker 2: what have you learned from them? I would put it 108 00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:24,080 Speaker 2: in conjunction with the weakness answer, which was very Michael Scott, 109 00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:26,239 Speaker 2: but we'll play that for you too because the Trump 110 00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:29,919 Speaker 2: campaign shared it. But here is Buck the mistake answer. 111 00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:32,480 Speaker 2: Is there something you can point to in your life, 112 00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:34,480 Speaker 2: political life, or in your life in the last four 113 00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:37,120 Speaker 2: years that you think is a mistake that you have 114 00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:37,839 Speaker 2: learned from. 115 00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:44,279 Speaker 4: I mean, I've made many mistakes, and they range from 116 00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:47,560 Speaker 4: you know, if you've ever parented a child, you know 117 00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:51,880 Speaker 4: you make lots of mistakes too. In my role as 118 00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:56,360 Speaker 4: vice president, I mean I've probably worked very hard at 119 00:06:56,560 --> 00:07:02,560 Speaker 4: making sure that I am well versed on issues, and 120 00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:05,880 Speaker 4: I think that is very important. It's a mistake not 121 00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:07,920 Speaker 4: to be well versed on an issue and feel compelled 122 00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:08,839 Speaker 4: to answer a question. 123 00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:15,680 Speaker 1: I Buck, what does she say she's import ask you? 124 00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:18,240 Speaker 2: I mean, ultimately, I think you just have to circle 125 00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:22,240 Speaker 2: back around to she is a DEI more on. She 126 00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:26,040 Speaker 2: got all of her jobs because people wanted her to 127 00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:29,520 Speaker 2: be good at them because in California. I mean this, honestly, 128 00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:31,640 Speaker 2: I love California. I've spent a lot of time out there. 129 00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:35,880 Speaker 2: There's a huge cadre of Californian's Buck who want their 130 00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:38,920 Speaker 2: leader to look like Kamala Harris and they don't actually 131 00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:41,240 Speaker 2: care whether she has the brains to be able to 132 00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:44,520 Speaker 2: do the job. It makes them feel good to have 133 00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:50,000 Speaker 2: a half black, half Asian politician who's kind of good looking, 134 00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:56,120 Speaker 2: that that is their representative, and they don't actually care 135 00:07:56,200 --> 00:07:58,840 Speaker 2: whether there's any substance behind it. And this is to 136 00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:00,920 Speaker 2: what happens in a one PA already stay Buck, and 137 00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:02,840 Speaker 2: I think she's a great example of this, not only 138 00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:06,440 Speaker 2: of being a DEI higher, but when there's no real pushback. 139 00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:09,960 Speaker 2: She's never had to win a race be in any 140 00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:14,640 Speaker 2: way compelling in her market because it's so left wing. 141 00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:18,320 Speaker 2: She just doesn't have any clue how to get past 142 00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:20,840 Speaker 2: the cliches and do we have the Michael Scott. I'll 143 00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:23,880 Speaker 2: play this for you because when I watch this live, 144 00:08:24,320 --> 00:08:26,840 Speaker 2: it reminded me of Michael Scott from the Office. For 145 00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:29,440 Speaker 2: everybody out there who's watched this show, at what percentage 146 00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:32,080 Speaker 2: of our audience you think I've ever watched The Office bus? 147 00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:35,880 Speaker 1: I mean, I love The Office and I like still 148 00:08:35,920 --> 00:08:37,400 Speaker 1: to this day. If it's on TV it's one of 149 00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:39,360 Speaker 1: the few things and I'll just be like, I'm gonna watch, 150 00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:42,760 Speaker 1: you know, thirty minutes, I'll watch this episode. I think 151 00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:44,640 Speaker 1: a lot of our people want I'd say half this 152 00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:47,040 Speaker 1: audience has watched at least one episode of The of 153 00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:48,040 Speaker 1: the Office at some point. 154 00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:51,319 Speaker 2: If you haven't, it's on streaming now. I think it's 155 00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:55,040 Speaker 2: a Netflix. I think I'm telling you if you just 156 00:08:55,080 --> 00:08:57,440 Speaker 2: want to laugh, I think this is a good topic. 157 00:08:57,480 --> 00:09:02,680 Speaker 2: Buck best comedy's ever my mount rushmore of comedies, and 158 00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:05,360 Speaker 2: these are ones that have existed in my lifetime. So 159 00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:07,880 Speaker 2: I'm taking like I love Lucy and Andy Griffith and 160 00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:11,400 Speaker 2: the old school Brady Bunch, any of those off the board, 161 00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:13,679 Speaker 2: I would go. The ones that have made me laugh 162 00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:22,760 Speaker 2: the hardest are The Office, Seinfeld, Deep and if you 163 00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:25,120 Speaker 2: count entoura I love Dontouraja. I thought it was kind 164 00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:27,760 Speaker 2: of funny, but it's almost like a dramedy comedy of mix. 165 00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:31,920 Speaker 2: But those would be my quad of ones that I 166 00:09:32,040 --> 00:09:35,440 Speaker 2: legitimately couldn't wait to watch, And I think The Office 167 00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:37,360 Speaker 2: maybe the funniest of all of them, certainly if you 168 00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:42,040 Speaker 2: put it in the broadcast television criteria. Let's listen to 169 00:09:42,920 --> 00:09:46,120 Speaker 2: Michael Scott slash Kamala Harris answer the same questions. 170 00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:49,120 Speaker 4: Perhaps a weakness some let's say, but I actually think 171 00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:50,640 Speaker 4: it's the strength that well. 172 00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:53,320 Speaker 1: My weaknesses are actually strengths. 173 00:09:53,880 --> 00:09:56,840 Speaker 4: Oh yes, very good. 174 00:09:57,200 --> 00:09:58,280 Speaker 1: There you go, very good. 175 00:09:58,360 --> 00:10:02,280 Speaker 4: So I really do value you having a team of 176 00:10:02,520 --> 00:10:04,120 Speaker 4: very smart people around me. 177 00:10:04,760 --> 00:10:08,760 Speaker 1: I work too hard, I care too much, and sometimes 178 00:10:08,920 --> 00:10:11,120 Speaker 1: I can be too invested in my job. 179 00:10:12,440 --> 00:10:15,240 Speaker 2: So that is Michael Scott being interviewed for a job, 180 00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:16,800 Speaker 2: and I mean it is perfect. 181 00:10:16,880 --> 00:10:20,280 Speaker 1: So a few things here. First off, I think the 182 00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:23,040 Speaker 1: what are your weaknesses question is the dumbest question that 183 00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:25,040 Speaker 1: anyone ever gets asked in a job interview. 184 00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:27,000 Speaker 2: But it is a common question. It's not like it's 185 00:10:27,040 --> 00:10:29,760 Speaker 2: out of left field, right, it is very common. Yeah people. 186 00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:32,800 Speaker 1: But but I'm saying I'm breaking with the you know, 187 00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:35,920 Speaker 1: the the consensus here from the HR departments. What are 188 00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:38,200 Speaker 1: your weaknesses? Is an idiot? If you were on a 189 00:10:38,280 --> 00:10:39,800 Speaker 1: date and you're sitting there, you know, if I was 190 00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:41,400 Speaker 1: sitting there when I was a single guy before I 191 00:10:41,400 --> 00:10:43,520 Speaker 1: met the love of my life, my lovely wife, and 192 00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:46,559 Speaker 1: a girl goes, what's the worst thing about you? Like, 193 00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:49,120 Speaker 1: that's it's that's a dumb question to ask somebody, right, 194 00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:50,680 Speaker 1: because one they're not going to tell you the truth, 195 00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:53,240 Speaker 1: and two, even if they give you something that's not great, 196 00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:56,240 Speaker 1: why are you asking them to undermine themselves the same 197 00:10:56,280 --> 00:10:58,120 Speaker 1: thing in a job interview, right, a job interview and 198 00:10:58,120 --> 00:10:59,880 Speaker 1: a date are actually not that different. You just have 199 00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:03,160 Speaker 1: a different outcome, you know, at least yeah good. And 200 00:11:04,679 --> 00:11:08,240 Speaker 1: to do the my strengths or rather my weaknesses are 201 00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:12,320 Speaker 1: actually strength response though, is even dumber than the dumb 202 00:11:12,400 --> 00:11:15,360 Speaker 1: question because it just shows like you think you're being clever. 203 00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:17,680 Speaker 1: And then the classic one is I just work too hard, 204 00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:20,360 Speaker 1: I take too much responsibility and don't want the credit. 205 00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:23,280 Speaker 1: Like that's obviously not actually a weakness, and the fact 206 00:11:23,320 --> 00:11:26,560 Speaker 1: that Kamala did that, she's like, oh, I just I 207 00:11:26,679 --> 00:11:30,240 Speaker 1: like diverse and brilliant perspectives. Call me crazy, you can 208 00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:33,360 Speaker 1: call me a crazy lady, but I like a team 209 00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:36,280 Speaker 1: of super smart people around me to give me great advice. 210 00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:38,600 Speaker 1: You know, I'm just nutty that way. 211 00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:45,319 Speaker 2: She is, I think uniquely incompetent, and I actually think 212 00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:48,439 Speaker 2: Tim Walls is dumber than her, which means that this 213 00:11:48,520 --> 00:11:51,480 Speaker 2: is the dumbest presidential and vice presidential ticket in any 214 00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:54,439 Speaker 2: of our lives. There's that great meme of you seen it, 215 00:11:54,520 --> 00:11:57,760 Speaker 2: bucka Ware. It starts with Obama and it says, I 216 00:11:57,800 --> 00:12:00,160 Speaker 2: need a vice president dumber than me, and then the 217 00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:02,480 Speaker 2: picture is Joe Biden, and then Joe Biden says I 218 00:12:02,480 --> 00:12:04,560 Speaker 2: need a vice president dumber than me, and the picture 219 00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:06,840 Speaker 2: is Kamala Harris, and then Kamala Harris says I need 220 00:12:06,880 --> 00:12:08,880 Speaker 2: a vice president dumber than me, and the picture is 221 00:12:08,920 --> 00:12:13,080 Speaker 2: Tim Walls. I actually think that's accurate from Obama. Every 222 00:12:13,160 --> 00:12:17,000 Speaker 2: vice president has gotten dumber, and every presidential nominee or 223 00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:19,960 Speaker 2: president has gotten dumber too, and the people that they 224 00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:22,800 Speaker 2: pick as their number twos have gotten dumber, which does 225 00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:27,680 Speaker 2: make some sense because Kamala is profoundly insecure and it 226 00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:30,800 Speaker 2: would make sense that she would be uncomfortable picking someone 227 00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:33,200 Speaker 2: who is smarter than her to be your vice president, 228 00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:34,880 Speaker 2: which is how she ended up with Tim Walls. 229 00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:37,360 Speaker 1: And while we have fun with this, and you know 230 00:12:37,400 --> 00:12:40,320 Speaker 1: we like to, we always mix in the most important 231 00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:42,839 Speaker 1: things in the world right now, at least in terms 232 00:12:42,840 --> 00:12:44,760 Speaker 1: of what we think and going on in this country 233 00:12:45,040 --> 00:12:47,840 Speaker 1: with having fun, but it really does also while we're 234 00:12:47,880 --> 00:12:49,920 Speaker 1: talking about how Kamala, it's just clear she has no idea. 235 00:12:49,920 --> 00:12:52,839 Speaker 1: What's going on, I mean imagine and this used to 236 00:12:52,880 --> 00:12:54,520 Speaker 1: be something talked about, I think more clay in these 237 00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:57,600 Speaker 1: presidential election cycles. It seems to have faded a bit 238 00:12:57,640 --> 00:13:02,079 Speaker 1: in the Biden kommeeo. Certainly in the Kamala era, China 239 00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:05,080 Speaker 1: decides to go for it in Taiwan, huge armada on 240 00:13:05,160 --> 00:13:10,760 Speaker 1: the way, and you know, expectation of major casualties for 241 00:13:10,880 --> 00:13:13,360 Speaker 1: the Chinese Navy for the time when he's Defense Forces 242 00:13:14,160 --> 00:13:18,480 Speaker 1: and Kamala Harris is sitting in the situation room having 243 00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:22,640 Speaker 1: to really make the call, make the determination, make the decision. 244 00:13:23,240 --> 00:13:27,000 Speaker 1: I mean to me, that's just it's an insult to 245 00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:31,559 Speaker 1: think that that's in any way reasonable for the American people. 246 00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:34,240 Speaker 1: It is an insult. Who we come back. 247 00:13:34,280 --> 00:13:37,040 Speaker 2: Will play some more of Kamala's greatest hits as her 248 00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:40,319 Speaker 2: campaign continues to flounder. And we encourage all of you, 249 00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:42,240 Speaker 2: as we have said every day and we'll continue to 250 00:13:42,280 --> 00:13:45,559 Speaker 2: say every day. We are twelve days out, get your 251 00:13:45,679 --> 00:13:49,600 Speaker 2: votes in, go vote early, bank your vote, encourage others 252 00:13:49,640 --> 00:13:51,400 Speaker 2: to get out so that we can avoid this. More 253 00:13:51,480 --> 00:13:56,559 Speaker 2: on representing us Beginning in January, US Navy Lieutenant Bradley 254 00:13:56,600 --> 00:14:00,320 Speaker 2: Foster story want of valor and selflessness. Bradley was born 255 00:14:00,360 --> 00:14:04,040 Speaker 2: and raised in California. Inspired by his father's military service 256 00:14:04,080 --> 00:14:06,960 Speaker 2: and fell to deep calling to serve his country. 257 00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:07,880 Speaker 1: He became a. 258 00:14:07,840 --> 00:14:11,120 Speaker 2: Pilot in the US Navy, underwent air in combat training, 259 00:14:11,160 --> 00:14:15,120 Speaker 2: and was later awarded the National Defense Service Medal. Bradley's 260 00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:17,360 Speaker 2: goal was to be the best pilot and leader he could, 261 00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:20,240 Speaker 2: while also being the very best husband and father to 262 00:14:20,320 --> 00:14:24,560 Speaker 2: his wife, Beth and baby girl Audrey. Tragically, Bradley's promising 263 00:14:24,600 --> 00:14:26,960 Speaker 2: life was cut short by a helicopter crash off the 264 00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:30,240 Speaker 2: coast of San Diego.

Welcome back in Clay Travis buck Sexton Show. 273 00:14:59,640 --> 00:15:01,720 Speaker 2: I saw one of our writers at out Kicks. Share 274 00:15:01,760 --> 00:15:04,119 Speaker 2: this Buck and I'm curious if you buy the thesis. 275 00:15:05,720 --> 00:15:06,200 Speaker 1: He said. 276 00:15:06,640 --> 00:15:10,080 Speaker 2: His name's Bobby Barak. He said, racist and sexist no 277 00:15:10,160 --> 00:15:14,480 Speaker 2: longer has any value when you used it against Trump, 278 00:15:14,640 --> 00:15:18,160 Speaker 2: because they've used it for nine years now. Oh, he's right, racist, 279 00:15:18,240 --> 00:15:22,600 Speaker 2: sex as, xenophobic, whatever. And his growth of for instance, 280 00:15:22,680 --> 00:15:25,880 Speaker 2: minority voters has really skyrocketed in this campaign, but has 281 00:15:25,920 --> 00:15:28,960 Speaker 2: been growing basically since he came down the elevator in 282 00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:31,360 Speaker 2: twenty fifteen. And people have gotten to know him. And 283 00:15:31,480 --> 00:15:34,480 Speaker 2: so there's a desperation because they've tried that game plan 284 00:15:34,960 --> 00:15:38,400 Speaker 2: and at the last minute they've just switched to fascist. Now, 285 00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:42,400 Speaker 2: my take on this is the word fascist is complicated. 286 00:15:42,400 --> 00:15:45,000 Speaker 2: First of all, most people can't even spell it. Secondly, 287 00:15:45,040 --> 00:15:47,800 Speaker 2: most people don't know what it is. And the idea 288 00:15:47,840 --> 00:15:50,400 Speaker 2: and Kamala called that. If we can play the audio book, 289 00:15:50,480 --> 00:15:53,720 Speaker 2: Kamala called Trump a fascist last night. I think this 290 00:15:53,920 --> 00:15:57,240 Speaker 2: is maybe the least effective line of attack possible. Listen 291 00:15:57,280 --> 00:16:07,160 Speaker 2: to this. Anderson Cooper asked whether or not she believed 292 00:16:07,240 --> 00:16:11,840 Speaker 2: that he was a fascist. Here is what that sounded like. 293 00:16:11,880 --> 00:16:13,720 Speaker 2: This was early in the town hall last night. 294 00:16:13,800 --> 00:16:15,800 Speaker 1: Do you think Donald Trump is a fascist? Yes? 295 00:16:15,840 --> 00:16:20,120 Speaker 4: I do, Yes, I do, And I also believe that 296 00:16:20,160 --> 00:16:23,000 Speaker 4: the people who know him best on this subject should 297 00:16:23,040 --> 00:16:23,680 Speaker 4: be trusted. 298 00:16:24,920 --> 00:16:27,400 Speaker 2: Okay, buck, question for you now, this is their new 299 00:16:27,480 --> 00:16:30,400 Speaker 2: line of attack with twelve days ago. How many Americans 300 00:16:30,440 --> 00:16:32,320 Speaker 2: do you think even know what a fascist is? People 301 00:16:32,360 --> 00:16:36,080 Speaker 2: know what a racist and a sexist is, but fascist, Well, 302 00:16:36,120 --> 00:16:41,080 Speaker 2: the origins of fascist. Fascist comes from fascist. It's actually 303 00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:45,080 Speaker 2: from ancient Rome, the bundle of sticks usually tied around 304 00:16:45,320 --> 00:16:45,800 Speaker 2: and acts. 305 00:16:45,840 --> 00:16:47,360 Speaker 1: You know, you can just google this, you'll see it. 306 00:16:47,680 --> 00:16:50,800 Speaker 1: I bring it up because it's a collectivist ideology. It's 307 00:16:50,800 --> 00:16:52,920 Speaker 1: about the collective over the individual. So if you believe 308 00:16:52,920 --> 00:16:55,640 Speaker 1: in individual rights, individual freedom, if you believe in constitutional 309 00:16:55,680 --> 00:16:59,760 Speaker 1: protections for the individual, you are not a fascist. By definition, 310 00:17:00,280 --> 00:17:05,720 Speaker 1: fascism is generally associated with oh state control of the media, 311 00:17:05,880 --> 00:17:09,240 Speaker 1: usually for the quote benefit of the population, to prevent 312 00:17:09,240 --> 00:17:13,720 Speaker 1: them from being you know, or run over with the disinformation. 313 00:17:14,080 --> 00:17:17,159 Speaker 1: Who thinks that that's more democrat than republican. It is 314 00:17:17,280 --> 00:17:20,520 Speaker 1: extreme nationalism. I think that we have a nationalism in 315 00:17:20,560 --> 00:17:23,200 Speaker 1: this country that's actually wokeness for the left. They kind 316 00:17:23,200 --> 00:17:25,399 Speaker 1: of have created their own nation within the nation. I mean, 317 00:17:25,440 --> 00:17:28,679 Speaker 1: you go down the list, Clay and fascism, first of all, 318 00:17:28,720 --> 00:17:31,760 Speaker 1: is a somewhat malleable definition. It's you know, it applies 319 00:17:31,760 --> 00:17:34,440 Speaker 1: to different things, and it's really was just kind of 320 00:17:34,440 --> 00:17:38,159 Speaker 1: an insult used in the eighties. Remember this. Back in 321 00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:40,400 Speaker 1: the day people just say, oh, you're such a fascist, 322 00:17:40,440 --> 00:17:42,000 Speaker 1: and this was a thing that people would say. But 323 00:17:42,160 --> 00:17:45,000 Speaker 1: I don't even think people know this insult. That's the thing. 324 00:17:45,040 --> 00:17:46,600 Speaker 2: Like, I don't think most people even under they know 325 00:17:46,640 --> 00:17:49,520 Speaker 2: it's supposed to be bad, but like they understand racist 326 00:17:49,560 --> 00:17:52,960 Speaker 2: and sexist. This feels so pathetic to me because you're 327 00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:55,680 Speaker 2: trying to insult someone with a word most people can't define. 328 00:17:57,240 --> 00:18:00,359 Speaker 1: Nearly every cell phone service company bundles the price of 329 00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:03,040 Speaker 1: the newest iPhone with a service plan in an attempt 330 00:18:03,040 --> 00:18:05,200 Speaker 1: to win your business.

There is a part of 349 00:18:57,440 --> 00:19:03,000 Speaker 1: me that has to appreciate. Kamala Harris is in a 350 00:19:03,160 --> 00:19:08,400 Speaker 1: very difficult position. She is the VP of a failed 351 00:19:09,760 --> 00:19:14,399 Speaker 1: presidential term, and in order to become president herself after 352 00:19:14,600 --> 00:19:17,880 Speaker 1: being a part of a palace coup against Joe Biden 353 00:19:17,960 --> 00:19:22,360 Speaker 1: to shove him aside, she has to somehow tell everybody 354 00:19:22,480 --> 00:19:26,679 Speaker 1: that she's going to do great things going forward, not 355 00:19:26,920 --> 00:19:30,000 Speaker 1: let them think about the bad things that have happened 356 00:19:30,040 --> 00:19:34,840 Speaker 1: for the last four years, the failures, the insufficiencies, and 357 00:19:35,560 --> 00:19:38,639 Speaker 1: not have any accountability for that in this process. So 358 00:19:39,400 --> 00:19:42,800 Speaker 1: she has to be both taking credit for and distancing 359 00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:48,919 Speaker 1: herself from the last four years while also pretending to 360 00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:54,359 Speaker 1: be changed for a different future path. And it's just 361 00:19:54,480 --> 00:19:57,600 Speaker 1: you can't, right, I mean, you can't even really say 362 00:19:57,600 --> 00:20:00,920 Speaker 1: this without feeling like it's all very confusing. It doesn't 363 00:20:00,960 --> 00:20:04,520 Speaker 1: make it. It makes no sense. So on one level, Kammel's 364 00:20:04,520 --> 00:20:10,120 Speaker 1: whole campaign makes no sense. And here's a perfect example 365 00:20:10,160 --> 00:20:13,240 Speaker 1: of this, the whole border stuff, you know, because that's 366 00:20:13,280 --> 00:20:16,080 Speaker 1: a huge issue economy, border one and two crime. I 367 00:20:16,080 --> 00:20:18,640 Speaker 1: agree the important, but it's actually not at the federal level. 368 00:20:18,680 --> 00:20:21,879 Speaker 1: With the presidential race, I think it's dropped down. I 369 00:20:21,880 --> 00:20:26,199 Speaker 1: think it's really economy border and on the border issue, 370 00:20:26,280 --> 00:20:28,359 Speaker 1: Biden's had the worst record in the history of the country. 371 00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:31,480 Speaker 1: And he doesn't just have a bad record because stuff happened. 372 00:20:31,680 --> 00:20:37,160 Speaker 1: He chose through executive orders from day one to make 373 00:20:37,200 --> 00:20:40,440 Speaker 1: this the most wide open border ever. Kamala Harris's whole 374 00:20:40,480 --> 00:20:44,320 Speaker 1: thing is after four years of essentially being the chief 375 00:20:44,520 --> 00:20:48,879 Speaker 1: arsonist of our border, you know, lighting the border on fire, 376 00:20:48,960 --> 00:20:51,480 Speaker 1: so to speak, for four years now she shows up 377 00:20:51,560 --> 00:20:54,159 Speaker 1: and says, yesterday I said I wanted to be the 378 00:20:54,240 --> 00:20:59,320 Speaker 1: firefighter and they wouldn't let me, meaning Republicans. Well, this 379 00:20:59,400 --> 00:21:02,880 Speaker 1: is not sense, This makes this is total garbage. Anderson 380 00:21:02,960 --> 00:21:07,919 Speaker 1: Cooper asked Kamala Harris about what really happened here. I mean, 381 00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:11,120 Speaker 1: he asked a real question. This is how the response 382 00:21:11,200 --> 00:21:12,520 Speaker 1: went about the border's cut twelve. 383 00:21:12,680 --> 00:21:15,520 Speaker 2: Just in June, three weeks before the last the first 384 00:21:15,520 --> 00:21:18,879 Speaker 2: presidential debate with Joe Biden, you and stute executive actions 385 00:21:18,920 --> 00:21:22,240 Speaker 2: that had a dramatic impact really shut down people crossing over. 386 00:21:22,640 --> 00:21:24,240 Speaker 3: Why didn't your administration do that. 387 00:21:24,160 --> 00:21:25,760 Speaker 1: In twenty twenty two, twenty twenty three. 388 00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:28,760 Speaker 4: First of all, you're exactly right, Anderson, And as of today, 389 00:21:29,080 --> 00:21:32,160 Speaker 4: we have cut the flow of immigration by over half. 390 00:21:32,200 --> 00:21:35,600 Speaker 4: In fact, the numbers I saw most recently illegal immigration. 391 00:21:35,720 --> 00:21:38,359 Speaker 1: But with that executive action, why not do it in 392 00:21:38,359 --> 00:21:39,480 Speaker 1: twenty twenty two to twenty. 393 00:21:39,280 --> 00:21:42,159 Speaker 4: Twenty three, because we were working with Congress and hoping 394 00:21:42,160 --> 00:21:44,359 Speaker 4: that actually we could have a long term fix to 395 00:21:44,400 --> 00:21:45,800 Speaker 4: the problem instead of a short term thing. 396 00:21:45,840 --> 00:21:47,320 Speaker 1: You couldn't have done one in the both of. 397 00:21:47,320 --> 00:21:47,840 Speaker 2: The same time. 398 00:21:47,880 --> 00:21:48,680 Speaker 1: Well, here's the thing. 399 00:21:49,040 --> 00:21:53,119 Speaker 4: We have to understand that ultimately this problem is going 400 00:21:53,200 --> 00:21:54,960 Speaker 4: to be fixed through congressional action. 401 00:21:56,359 --> 00:21:59,440 Speaker 1: Clay and Cooper, actually, I think maybe he just is 402 00:21:59,480 --> 00:22:01,199 Speaker 1: sick of having to look like an idiot for these 403 00:22:01,240 --> 00:22:05,720 Speaker 1: Democrats like Kamala Harris. It's absurd. They made choices, there 404 00:22:05,760 --> 00:22:08,679 Speaker 1: were consequences. Now they pretend we can all see it. 405 00:22:10,359 --> 00:22:12,600 Speaker 2: This to me, and I give credit to Anderson Cooper 406 00:22:12,640 --> 00:22:15,640 Speaker 2: for really kind of pushing and following up here. They 407 00:22:15,680 --> 00:22:19,720 Speaker 2: made such a huge show of Joe Biden signing all 408 00:22:19,760 --> 00:22:23,960 Speaker 2: these executive orders. He bragged about overturning everything that Trump 409 00:22:24,080 --> 00:22:26,280 Speaker 2: was doing at the border as one of the first 410 00:22:26,320 --> 00:22:30,920 Speaker 2: actions he was undertaking after he was sworn in. I think, frankly, 411 00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:34,160 Speaker 2: this is a really good discussion that we'll never get 412 00:22:34,200 --> 00:22:37,240 Speaker 2: an honest answer from them. On Buck, I think they 413 00:22:37,280 --> 00:22:41,120 Speaker 2: were stunned by how many illegal immigrants came across the border. 414 00:22:41,520 --> 00:22:43,760 Speaker 2: I think they thought it would be, you know, a 415 00:22:43,840 --> 00:22:46,520 Speaker 2: decent number. I don't think they thought that it would 416 00:22:46,560 --> 00:22:49,679 Speaker 2: be ten million. And I think that partly had to 417 00:22:49,720 --> 00:22:53,359 Speaker 2: do with the number of countries that suddenly everybody started 418 00:22:53,400 --> 00:22:57,600 Speaker 2: pouring in from, which was a level of immigration illegally 419 00:22:57,720 --> 00:23:00,960 Speaker 2: that we, frankly haven't seen very often. We talked about 420 00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:02,480 Speaker 2: this on the show Buck. If you look at the 421 00:23:02,560 --> 00:23:05,760 Speaker 2: history of illegal immigration, it used to be people from 422 00:23:05,840 --> 00:23:09,439 Speaker 2: Mexico would come across, they would work seasonally in the 423 00:23:09,520 --> 00:23:11,680 Speaker 2: United States. They would go back home, and they kind 424 00:23:11,720 --> 00:23:14,879 Speaker 2: of used that they had a cross border existence. I 425 00:23:14,920 --> 00:23:18,399 Speaker 2: think what happened is the Darien Gap became accessible. The 426 00:23:18,520 --> 00:23:21,760 Speaker 2: number of people with the resources around the world to 427 00:23:21,920 --> 00:23:26,040 Speaker 2: fly into Mexico or other Latin American countries and make 428 00:23:26,080 --> 00:23:28,440 Speaker 2: their way north. What is the number like one hundred 429 00:23:28,480 --> 00:23:31,600 Speaker 2: and thirty or forty countries that illegal immigrants have crossed 430 00:23:31,600 --> 00:23:32,680 Speaker 2: our southern border from. 431 00:23:32,760 --> 00:23:34,720 Speaker 1: It's like one hundred and eighty, now, Clay, it's like Adred, 432 00:23:34,760 --> 00:23:36,640 Speaker 1: I mean seventy hundred and eighty. 433 00:23:36,680 --> 00:23:39,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, So that's a form of illegal immigration that frankly 434 00:23:39,560 --> 00:23:42,399 Speaker 2: didn't exist in the nineteen eighties or the nineteen seventies, 435 00:23:42,480 --> 00:23:44,800 Speaker 2: and I think they were blown away by how bad 436 00:23:44,880 --> 00:23:48,280 Speaker 2: it got, and they didn't want to acknowledge how bad 437 00:23:48,280 --> 00:23:51,560 Speaker 2: it got until we got close to twenty twenty four. 438 00:23:51,680 --> 00:23:55,240 Speaker 2: What I would say in general is the one criticism 439 00:23:55,280 --> 00:23:59,280 Speaker 2: I would have of the Republican side is the morons 440 00:23:59,320 --> 00:24:03,119 Speaker 2: who tried to make this bipartisan on the Republican side 441 00:24:03,480 --> 00:24:06,679 Speaker 2: are too dumb to be able to be politicians. And 442 00:24:06,720 --> 00:24:08,520 Speaker 2: there are a lot of them that said, oh, well, 443 00:24:08,640 --> 00:24:12,240 Speaker 2: let's work with the Democrats now and we'll fix immigration 444 00:24:12,480 --> 00:24:16,360 Speaker 2: and all they were doing was giving Kamala Harrison Joe 445 00:24:16,400 --> 00:24:21,280 Speaker 2: Biden talking points to claim that Republicans were responsible for 446 00:24:21,320 --> 00:24:24,840 Speaker 2: this as well. They're idiots, the Republicans who worked with them, 447 00:24:25,240 --> 00:24:27,040 Speaker 2: because they could have solved it, as you can see 448 00:24:27,080 --> 00:24:30,199 Speaker 2: by the executive orders. Anderson Cooper pointed out Buck this 449 00:24:30,440 --> 00:24:34,840 Speaker 2: wasn't something that required legislative action in order to shut down. 450 00:24:35,640 --> 00:24:38,040 Speaker 1: You can make this really simple as well. Joe Biden 451 00:24:38,119 --> 00:24:46,520 Speaker 1: comes into office and declares a cessation of immigration Interior enforcement, 452 00:24:46,560 --> 00:24:50,520 Speaker 1: meaning no deportations for one hundred days. Now that you 453 00:24:50,560 --> 00:24:52,440 Speaker 1: know that got jammed up in the courts, it turns 454 00:24:52,440 --> 00:24:55,560 Speaker 1: out you can't just ignore law and consider yourself to 455 00:24:55,560 --> 00:24:57,800 Speaker 1: be and people forget the president is a law enforcement 456 00:24:57,840 --> 00:25:01,359 Speaker 1: officer in essence, executive branch the law enforcement function, and 457 00:25:01,400 --> 00:25:04,320 Speaker 1: he's the top of the executive branch. You can't just 458 00:25:04,320 --> 00:25:06,280 Speaker 1: say I don't like that law. It's not a law anymore. 459 00:25:06,320 --> 00:25:09,880 Speaker 1: I mean, that's nullification. But Biden came in and said, 460 00:25:10,160 --> 00:25:12,800 Speaker 1: just let's just halt deportations for one hundred days, total 461 00:25:13,320 --> 00:25:18,320 Speaker 1: giveaway to the radical left, open borders maniacs, and then 462 00:25:18,480 --> 00:25:20,879 Speaker 1: we got the biggest flood of illegal crossings into this 463 00:25:20,960 --> 00:25:25,440 Speaker 1: country we've ever seen. These things are not correlated. They 464 00:25:25,440 --> 00:25:29,280 Speaker 1: are one leading into the other. They are directly related. Right, 465 00:25:29,320 --> 00:25:33,080 Speaker 1: This is causation. This is not correlation. When you tell 466 00:25:33,160 --> 00:25:35,840 Speaker 1: people I'm going to be the guy who no longer 467 00:25:35,880 --> 00:25:38,560 Speaker 1: wants and we don't even talk about interior numbers, play, 468 00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:42,440 Speaker 1: nobody is getting deported under Biden, correct, And they're gonna 469 00:25:42,440 --> 00:25:46,000 Speaker 1: say that's not true. Well, when I say nobody, it's 470 00:25:46,040 --> 00:25:50,040 Speaker 1: the lowest level of deportations we've seen in twenty years. 471 00:25:50,160 --> 00:25:52,320 Speaker 1: So you have the highest level of illegal crossings, the 472 00:25:52,320 --> 00:25:56,080 Speaker 1: lowest level of deportations, far lower than Trump, far lower 473 00:25:56,080 --> 00:26:00,080 Speaker 1: than Obama, far lower than Bush. And they act like 474 00:26:00,320 --> 00:26:03,320 Speaker 1: this is a surprise, what's going on? You know, if 475 00:26:03,160 --> 00:26:05,280 Speaker 1: it's this is this is the thing that I think 476 00:26:05,400 --> 00:26:08,439 Speaker 1: is so frustrating for conservatives on a whole range of issues. 477 00:26:08,480 --> 00:26:11,520 Speaker 1: You know, Clay, if you decide that you're not going 478 00:26:11,600 --> 00:26:16,160 Speaker 1: to prosecute people for stealing from the local right aid, 479 00:26:16,960 --> 00:26:20,520 Speaker 1: you're gonna get a lot more stealing, And that stealing 480 00:26:20,640 --> 00:26:23,280 Speaker 1: is your fault. If you're in charge, if you're in power, 481 00:26:23,359 --> 00:26:25,640 Speaker 1: if you're the government, that is your fault. You made 482 00:26:25,640 --> 00:26:29,280 Speaker 1: a choice and its cause and effect. If you decide, 483 00:26:29,320 --> 00:26:33,439 Speaker 1: as the Biden Harris administration that you're not going to 484 00:26:33,920 --> 00:26:37,800 Speaker 1: turn people away with your executive authority, enforce the border 485 00:26:38,600 --> 00:26:40,640 Speaker 1: within one hundred miles of the border. By the way, 486 00:26:40,880 --> 00:26:44,879 Speaker 1: do interior deportations. Ramp it up so that people realize 487 00:26:44,960 --> 00:26:47,800 Speaker 1: you can't just game our system and steal from the 488 00:26:47,840 --> 00:26:52,560 Speaker 1: American people. You're gonna get more illegal immigration, our immigration. 489 00:26:52,880 --> 00:26:56,119 Speaker 1: Biden's immigration policy at the border, what we've seen is 490 00:26:56,200 --> 00:27:00,000 Speaker 1: tant amount to what Kamala supported by the way calif 491 00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:03,040 Speaker 1: Fifornia is, Oh, we're not going to prosecute less than 492 00:27:03,080 --> 00:27:07,200 Speaker 1: nine hundred dollars of theft statute. You're creating the criminality, 493 00:27:07,359 --> 00:27:09,200 Speaker 1: You're inviting the criminality. 494 00:27:09,960 --> 00:27:13,000 Speaker 2: It's the incentive structure. And this is why I would 495 00:27:13,040 --> 00:27:16,480 Speaker 2: suggest to anyone who wants to solve any issue, the 496 00:27:16,560 --> 00:27:19,439 Speaker 2: way to solve issues is to address the incentives that 497 00:27:19,480 --> 00:27:22,840 Speaker 2: you've created. And there's two major incentives for illegal immigration. 498 00:27:23,040 --> 00:27:27,560 Speaker 2: One is because this country is so bountiful and wealthy. 499 00:27:27,960 --> 00:27:30,960 Speaker 2: There are lots of jobs. You can make more money 500 00:27:30,960 --> 00:27:33,520 Speaker 2: in the United States than almost any country in the world. 501 00:27:33,760 --> 00:27:36,520 Speaker 2: That is an incentive that is a natural result of 502 00:27:36,760 --> 00:27:41,440 Speaker 2: our overwhelming superiority. When it comes to basic economics. That's 503 00:27:41,480 --> 00:27:44,080 Speaker 2: a hard incentive to remove the other one. 504 00:27:44,160 --> 00:27:44,720 Speaker 1: And this is a. 505 00:27:44,640 --> 00:27:47,119 Speaker 2: Conversation that still very few people want to have, is 506 00:27:47,359 --> 00:27:51,800 Speaker 2: you have to eliminate birthright citizenship and stop allowing it 507 00:27:51,960 --> 00:27:55,520 Speaker 2: to occur because it is a massive incentive that is 508 00:27:55,760 --> 00:27:58,480 Speaker 2: broken by modern eras and buck. This is an easy 509 00:27:58,520 --> 00:28:01,359 Speaker 2: way to think about it. When you create a birthright citizenship, 510 00:28:01,840 --> 00:28:04,960 Speaker 2: you didn't have mass transit where you could hop on 511 00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:08,080 Speaker 2: an airplane seven months pregnant and suddenly show up on 512 00:28:08,119 --> 00:28:10,080 Speaker 2: a new soil that didn't exist. 513 00:28:10,480 --> 00:28:13,639 Speaker 1: Is someone explained to me why legally there should be 514 00:28:13,680 --> 00:28:18,199 Speaker 1: any different treatment from there are Chinese nationals. This is this. 515 00:28:18,359 --> 00:28:20,719 Speaker 1: You can look this up. This has been prosecuted as 516 00:28:20,960 --> 00:28:26,040 Speaker 1: Chinese nationals who will eight months pregnant come to America, 517 00:28:26,600 --> 00:28:30,360 Speaker 1: have a baby here on a tourist visa, and then 518 00:28:30,520 --> 00:28:33,159 Speaker 1: go back to China. And you're not supposed to do this. 519 00:28:33,320 --> 00:28:36,160 Speaker 1: It's and the people that facilitate this or bringing the law. 520 00:28:36,200 --> 00:28:39,000 Speaker 1: But you know, it's like birth tourism hotels is what 521 00:28:39,040 --> 00:28:42,160 Speaker 1: they actually have, and they're but but they come back, 522 00:28:42,200 --> 00:28:44,480 Speaker 1: you know, eighteen years later and they go, oh, I want, 523 00:28:44,520 --> 00:28:46,320 Speaker 1: I want, I'm a US citizen. I want in state 524 00:28:46,360 --> 00:28:49,440 Speaker 1: tuition at you know, child Berkeley as a Chinese national. 525 00:28:49,760 --> 00:28:52,040 Speaker 1: Why is that any different from somebody coming from Central 526 00:28:52,080 --> 00:28:55,840 Speaker 1: or South America being here six months illegally having a 527 00:28:55,880 --> 00:28:58,360 Speaker 1: baby and saying, now I have an American citizen child, 528 00:28:58,480 --> 00:29:00,240 Speaker 1: and I just come back and I wrote this in 529 00:29:00,520 --> 00:29:02,360 Speaker 1: American Playbook, which you can get if you go to 530 00:29:02,400 --> 00:29:05,520 Speaker 1: Crocketcoffee dot com right now, sign up and subscribe, and 531 00:29:05,520 --> 00:29:08,000 Speaker 1: I will sign axcoose me excuse me, signed copy clay 532 00:29:08,200 --> 00:29:09,520 Speaker 1: sign copy. 533 00:29:09,400 --> 00:29:12,160 Speaker 2: Signed copy of American Playbook, which is set up right 534 00:29:12,200 --> 00:29:14,040 Speaker 2: here so you can see it if you're a VIP. 535 00:29:14,400 --> 00:29:18,760 Speaker 2: But buck, this is a vestige. Since everybody wants to 536 00:29:18,800 --> 00:29:22,400 Speaker 2: talk about the legacy of colonialism, this is a vestige 537 00:29:22,400 --> 00:29:26,720 Speaker 2: of colonialism. The reason we have birthright citizenship is because 538 00:29:26,880 --> 00:29:32,440 Speaker 2: in order to get uh citizens of England, of France, 539 00:29:32,920 --> 00:29:37,720 Speaker 2: of Spain, of Portugal, of Italy, all these different countries 540 00:29:37,760 --> 00:29:40,080 Speaker 2: that had Spain, I say Spain, if I didn't had 541 00:29:40,160 --> 00:29:44,000 Speaker 2: assets in the New World, in order to get your 542 00:29:44,200 --> 00:29:47,840 Speaker 2: citizens to leave, you had to tell them. And your 543 00:29:48,040 --> 00:29:51,640 Speaker 2: kid will still be a citizen of this country, even 544 00:29:51,720 --> 00:29:55,480 Speaker 2: if they're born in Jamestown, Virginia, even if they're born 545 00:29:55,520 --> 00:29:58,960 Speaker 2: in uh So, Paulo, whatever it is, this is where 546 00:29:58,960 --> 00:30:00,800 Speaker 2: why birthrights is and ship exists. 547 00:30:01,480 --> 00:30:06,520 Speaker 1: This is where subject to the jurisdiction thereof is so important. 548 00:30:07,120 --> 00:30:10,200 Speaker 1: No one thinks that if you're a soldier and you 549 00:30:10,240 --> 00:30:12,480 Speaker 1: know your you and your wife are stationed in an 550 00:30:12,480 --> 00:30:16,160 Speaker 1: air base in Germany, that you're you know, you don't 551 00:30:16,160 --> 00:30:20,160 Speaker 1: have a US kid. It's it's it's about what is 552 00:30:20,200 --> 00:30:24,160 Speaker 1: the legal framework of your status as a citizen. It's 553 00:30:24,200 --> 00:30:26,560 Speaker 1: not really about what dirt is beneath your feet. It 554 00:30:26,640 --> 00:30:29,880 Speaker 1: couldn't be about that. And and we have lost sight 555 00:30:29,960 --> 00:30:32,240 Speaker 1: of that. And it's it's not like cong it's not 556 00:30:32,280 --> 00:30:33,960 Speaker 1: even like there's a law that says this. This has 557 00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:36,560 Speaker 1: just been the practice of the federal government. And it 558 00:30:36,600 --> 00:30:40,280 Speaker 1: really goes to what is it like a like a 559 00:30:40,280 --> 00:30:42,360 Speaker 1: notation at the bottom of a page of a previous 560 00:30:42,440 --> 00:30:46,520 Speaker 1: judicial opinion. And and I think that this is one 561 00:30:46,560 --> 00:30:50,280 Speaker 1: issue that Trump can tackle Clay with some uh was, 562 00:30:50,480 --> 00:30:52,720 Speaker 1: you know, expeditiously. I think this doesn't take that much 563 00:30:52,720 --> 00:30:54,480 Speaker 1: for him to do it. And I hope that he. 564 00:30:54,520 --> 00:30:56,200 Speaker 1: I hope that he will because you know, Elon is 565 00:30:56,240 --> 00:30:57,920 Speaker 1: saying it. And I always talk about how we all 566 00:30:57,920 --> 00:31:00,880 Speaker 1: know how smart elon Is and they gonna amnesty. The 567 00:31:00,880 --> 00:31:03,440 Speaker 1: whole thing changes, the whole a leg We're not going 568 00:31:03,520 --> 00:31:05,280 Speaker 1: to be sitting here saying who's going to win Michigan 569 00:31:05,280 --> 00:31:08,360 Speaker 1: by fifteen thousand votes if you make thirty million illegal 570 00:31:08,360 --> 00:31:12,200 Speaker 1: immigrants legal and citizens and voters, no doubt. 571 00:31:12,840 --> 00:31:15,760 Speaker 2: And again, what you're talking about, and it's important distinction 572 00:31:15,920 --> 00:31:18,800 Speaker 2: is citizenship by blood. That is, if your mom or 573 00:31:18,880 --> 00:31:21,280 Speaker 2: dad or a citizen of a country, you should be 574 00:31:21,480 --> 00:31:23,640 Speaker 2: as well as citizen of that country. I think almost 575 00:31:23,680 --> 00:31:25,920 Speaker 2: every single person on the planet listening to this right 576 00:31:25,920 --> 00:31:27,120 Speaker 2: now would agree to your point. 577 00:31:27,120 --> 00:31:27,360 Speaker 1: Buck. 578 00:31:27,600 --> 00:31:30,320 Speaker 2: If you're on an Air Force base in Germany and 579 00:31:30,400 --> 00:31:33,080 Speaker 2: your dad or your mom is a United States citizen, 580 00:31:33,160 --> 00:31:35,040 Speaker 2: you should still be a United States citizen. If you're 581 00:31:35,040 --> 00:31:38,040 Speaker 2: born in Korea but your parents are serving overseas, you're 582 00:31:38,080 --> 00:31:42,240 Speaker 2: still a citizen because of blood, that is, But by soil, 583 00:31:42,640 --> 00:31:46,520 Speaker 2: by soil citizenship if you illegally come to the United 584 00:31:46,560 --> 00:31:48,680 Speaker 2: States and happen to be on this soil when a 585 00:31:48,680 --> 00:31:52,000 Speaker 2: baby is born, we shouldn't have an automatic birthright citizenship 586 00:31:52,040 --> 00:31:54,240 Speaker 2: in that context. I mean, to me, that's crazy, and 587 00:31:54,280 --> 00:31:56,560 Speaker 2: that is one of the incentives that has to be removed. 588 00:31:56,880 --> 00:31:59,200 Speaker 2: If We're going to solve a broken immigration system, and 589 00:31:59,240 --> 00:32:01,760 Speaker 2: no one will talk it. God, I think they're afraid, 590 00:32:02,760 --> 00:32:06,120 Speaker 2: by and large, but it is supremely important and actually 591 00:32:06,240 --> 00:32:08,680 Speaker 2: a way to resolve the mess that we have right now. 592 00:32:09,160 --> 00:32:13,120 Speaker 2: Look war on masculinity right now. I think it's fair 593 00:32:13,120 --> 00:32:15,200 Speaker 2: to say. Tim Walls recently came out and he said, 594 00:32:15,240 --> 00:32:16,840 Speaker 2: I want all the men out there to listen to me, 595 00:32:16,840 --> 00:32:19,160 Speaker 2: And I was thinking to myself, No, men are listening 596 00:32:19,240 --> 00:32:22,360 Speaker 2: to you because you have low testosterone and you are 597 00:32:22,480 --> 00:32:24,920 Speaker 2: not a man that any man would aspire to be 598 00:32:25,600 --> 00:32:27,600 Speaker 2: that is listening to this program right now. But if 599 00:32:27,640 --> 00:32:31,040 Speaker 2: you want to be bigger, stronger, faster than you are, 600 00:32:31,680 --> 00:32:33,400 Speaker 2: one of the best ways to do that is to 601 00:32:33,720 --> 00:32:37,960 Speaker 2: have some testosterone in your body, because testosterone is the 602 00:32:38,040 --> 00:32:42,000 Speaker 2: fuel that fuels the male engine, and right now our 603 00:32:42,040 --> 00:32:45,680 Speaker 2: testosterone levels are lower. In fact, if they did a 604 00:32:45,800 --> 00:32:50,600 Speaker 2: simple test of Kamala voters versus Trump voters for men, 605 00:32:50,880 --> 00:32:53,520 Speaker 2: I think you would find Trump voters off the charts 606 00:32:53,600 --> 00:32:59,320 Speaker 2: testosterone levels, Kamala voters almost non existent testosterone levels if 607 00:32:59,320 --> 00:33:01,719 Speaker 2: they are men.

There's 652 00:35:20,680 --> 00:35:24,680 Speaker 2: lots of early voting data, very very positive. But I 653 00:35:24,719 --> 00:35:26,799 Speaker 2: want to hear from him because I think he would 654 00:35:27,040 --> 00:35:31,200 Speaker 2: characterize himself fairly as a data nerd. What would he 655 00:35:31,400 --> 00:35:34,759 Speaker 2: say as we sit here twelve days out based on 656 00:35:34,800 --> 00:35:39,359 Speaker 2: the numbers in North Carolina, Pennsylvania, every battleground state you 657 00:35:39,360 --> 00:35:43,239 Speaker 2: can early vote in now, Wisconsin started on Tuesday, so 658 00:35:43,520 --> 00:35:45,560 Speaker 2: we want all of you early voting.
