1
00:00:00,840 --> 00:00:06,920
Speaker 1: Welcome in Monday edition. It is a major news breaking Monday.

2
00:00:07,040 --> 00:00:10,680
Speaker 1: We hope all of you had fantastic weekends. As we

3
00:00:10,800 --> 00:00:15,600
Speaker 1: predicted going into the weekend, major news coming from Iran,

4
00:00:15,840 --> 00:00:22,480
Speaker 1: where early early in the morning US time on Saturday morning,

5
00:00:22,920 --> 00:00:27,920
Speaker 1: we began to rain down a ton of missiles and

6
00:00:28,360 --> 00:00:33,599
Speaker 1: an attack on Iran alongside of Israel wiping out. According

7
00:00:33,640 --> 00:00:40,519
Speaker 1: to President Trump, forty nine top Iranian leaders, including Ayatola Kamani,

8
00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:41,480
Speaker 1: who had been in.

9
00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:43,200
Speaker 2: Charge for decades.

10
00:00:43,320 --> 00:00:48,199
Speaker 1: There that attack happening in the daylight hours in Iran

11
00:00:48,440 --> 00:00:55,360
Speaker 1: on Saturday, stunning much of the Iranian leadership. Maybe buck

12
00:00:55,440 --> 00:00:59,920
Speaker 1: they should have zoomed, but instead they all gathered directly

13
00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:04,120
Speaker 1: together in the daylight hours, and now many of them

14
00:01:04,240 --> 00:01:08,560
Speaker 1: are gone. President Trump is speaking as we are coming

15
00:01:08,680 --> 00:01:13,480
Speaker 1: on with you live from the White House, and I

16
00:01:13,480 --> 00:01:17,840
Speaker 1: think the primary question is who will rule Iran. We

17
00:01:17,880 --> 00:01:20,679
Speaker 1: will get into that quite a lot going forward. But

18
00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:23,880
Speaker 1: let me go ahead and hit you with the absolute

19
00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:28,319
Speaker 1: latest comments from President Trump just made in the last

20
00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:33,600
Speaker 1: few moments in the White House. These are cuts thirty one.

21
00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:38,240
Speaker 1: Let's start with this. This is cut thirty one, as

22
00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:43,200
Speaker 1: Trump has just updated the absolute latest moments knowledge from

23
00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:44,680
Speaker 1: Iran Cut thirty one.

24
00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:49,000
Speaker 3: Today, the United States military continues to carry out large

25
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:53,480
Speaker 3: scale combat operations in Iran to eliminate the grave threats

26
00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:59,000
Speaker 3: posed to America by this terrible terrorist regime. Following our

27
00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:04,280
Speaker 3: obliteration of orend's nuclear program and Operation Midnight Hammer a

28
00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:07,360
Speaker 3: short while ago, we warned around not to make any

29
00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:10,880
Speaker 3: attempt to rebuild at a different location because they weren't

30
00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:15,120
Speaker 3: able to use the ones that we so powerfully blew up.

31
00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:18,799
Speaker 3: But they ignored those warnings and refused to cease their

32
00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:23,320
Speaker 3: pursuit of nuclear weapons. In addition, the regime's conventional ballistic

33
00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:27,440
Speaker 3: missile program was growing rapidly and dramatically, and this posed

34
00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:30,919
Speaker 3: a very clear, colossal threat to America and our forces

35
00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:35,200
Speaker 3: stationed overseas. The regime already had missiles capable of hitting

36
00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:39,040
Speaker 3: Europe and our bases, both local and overseas, and would

37
00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:43,399
Speaker 3: soon have had missiles capable of reaching our beautiful America.

38
00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:46,600
Speaker 3: The purpose of this fast growing missile program was to

39
00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:51,200
Speaker 3: shield their nuclear weapon development and make it extraordinarily difficult

40
00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:54,320
Speaker 3: for anyone to stop them from making these highly forbidden

41
00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:57,080
Speaker 3: by US nuclear weapons.

42
00:02:57,880 --> 00:03:01,360
Speaker 1: Okay, we hit a couple more, then I'll bring you

43
00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:05,280
Speaker 1: in get your immediate reaction. CIA was very involved, according

44
00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:09,600
Speaker 1: to reports. Thirty two Trump lays out the military objectives

45
00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:11,880
Speaker 1: in Iran right now, our.

46
00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:12,919
Speaker 4: Objectives are clear.

47
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:17,400
Speaker 3: First, we're destroying orends missile capabilities, and you see that

48
00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:20,840
Speaker 3: happening on an hourly basis, and their capacity to produce

49
00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:24,560
Speaker 3: brand new ones and pretty good ones they make. Second,

50
00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:29,040
Speaker 3: we're annihilating their navy. We've knocked out already ten ships

51
00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:32,080
Speaker 3: there at the bottom of the c. Third, we're ensuring

52
00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:35,880
Speaker 3: that the world's number one sponsor of terra can never

53
00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:37,480
Speaker 3: obtain a nuclear weapon.

54
00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:39,040
Speaker 4: Never going to have a nuclear weapon.

55
00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:40,920
Speaker 3: I said that from the beginning, they're never going to

56
00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:42,720
Speaker 3: have a nuclear weapon.

57
00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:43,200
Speaker 4: They were on the.

58
00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:47,800
Speaker 3: Road to getting one legitimately through a deal that was

59
00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:53,400
Speaker 3: signed foolishly by our country. And finally, we're ensuring that

60
00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:59,200
Speaker 3: the Iranian regime cannot continue to arm fund and directorists.

61
00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:00,920
Speaker 4: Armies outside of their borders.

62
00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:03,800
Speaker 3: And we thought we had a deal, but then they

63
00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:06,600
Speaker 3: backed out, and they came back, and we thought we

64
00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:07,800
Speaker 3: had a deal, and they backed out.

65
00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:09,480
Speaker 4: I said, you can't deal with these people.

66
00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:12,760
Speaker 2: Got to do it the right way, okay.

67
00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:16,960
Speaker 1: And then last cut thirty three four lost lives from

68
00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:20,560
Speaker 1: US service members. Trump says, we grieve for them and

69
00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:24,720
Speaker 1: gives you a projected timeline of how long this mission

70
00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:25,240
Speaker 1: will take.

71
00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:29,839
Speaker 3: Today, we agreeve for the four heroic American service members

72
00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:32,440
Speaker 3: who have been killed in action, and send our love

73
00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:36,360
Speaker 3: and support to their families in their memory. We continue

74
00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:41,000
Speaker 3: this mission with ferocious, unyielding resolve to crush the threat

75
00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:45,479
Speaker 3: this terrorist regime poses to the American people, and a

76
00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:50,159
Speaker 3: threat indeed it is. We have the strongest and most powerful,

77
00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:55,040
Speaker 3: by far military in the world, and we will easily prevail.

78
00:04:56,080 --> 00:05:01,479
Speaker 3: We're already substantially ahead of our projections. But whatever the

79
00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:04,720
Speaker 3: time is, it's okay. Whatever it takes, we will always

80
00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:08,560
Speaker 3: and we have right from the beginning. We projected four

81
00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:13,080
Speaker 3: to five weeks, but we have capability to go far

82
00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:13,760
Speaker 3: longer than that.

83
00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:14,400
Speaker 4: We'll do it.

84
00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:18,159
Speaker 3: Whatever somebody said today, they said, oh, well, the President

85
00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:20,560
Speaker 3: wants to do it really quickly. After that, he'll get bored.

86
00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:23,320
Speaker 3: I don't get bored. There's nothing boring about this. Do

87
00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:25,640
Speaker 3: you agree with that, Pete? I don't think there's anything

88
00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:29,719
Speaker 3: mister General, there's nothing boring about it. Somebody actually said

89
00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:32,360
Speaker 3: from the media, I think he'll get bored after about

90
00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:32,960
Speaker 3: a week or two.

91
00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:35,359
Speaker 4: No, we don't get bored. I never get bored. I

92
00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:35,760
Speaker 4: got bored.

93
00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:37,840
Speaker 3: I wouldn't be standing here right now. I guarantee you

94
00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:39,640
Speaker 3: that to go through what I had.

95
00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:40,119
Speaker 2: To go through.

96
00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:45,280
Speaker 1: Okay, buck, big picture takeaways? Did anything surprise you? I

97
00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:47,720
Speaker 1: think the biggest question is who's going to end up

98
00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:51,920
Speaker 1: ruling ran right, That's the trillion dollar question at this point.

99
00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:55,400
Speaker 2: Well, the first thing is he finally did it.

100
00:05:56,200 --> 00:06:01,400
Speaker 5: Remember that scene in Jurassic Park he sees the dinosaurs

101
00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:07,000
Speaker 5: Ian Malcolm, the character who is played by Jeff Goldbloom,

102
00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:09,400
Speaker 5: and he goes, he did it. The crazy son of

103
00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:13,760
Speaker 5: a son of a gun did it. That's really the

104
00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:15,960
Speaker 5: feeling that so many of us who have been watching

105
00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:20,560
Speaker 5: this Iran situation for decades now felt like, and in

106
00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:23,359
Speaker 5: the best possible way, enough is enough.

107
00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:25,400
Speaker 2: Trump knows enough.

108
00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:32,120
Speaker 5: About the negotiations with anyone. He knows when he is

109
00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:37,000
Speaker 5: being screwed around, and he knew fundamentally the Iranians, the

110
00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:40,000
Speaker 5: Iranian regime. I should say it's very important to separate

111
00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:43,200
Speaker 5: these things. America has no hostility toward the Iranian people

112
00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:45,880
Speaker 5: per se. In fact, we want much better lives and

113
00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:51,120
Speaker 5: freedom for all of them. We despise the molocracy, which

114
00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:56,600
Speaker 5: was essentially an Islamic faction that took over this country

115
00:06:56,640 --> 00:06:59,640
Speaker 5: and ruined it for fifty some odd years. Okay, so

116
00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:02,680
Speaker 5: we've had enough of that. And Trump came in and said,

117
00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:08,160
Speaker 5: all the deals the fundamental reality that the Obama administration

118
00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:12,560
Speaker 5: refused to see, refuse to understand, which was, you can't

119
00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:16,480
Speaker 5: make a deal with these people. Sure, you can negotiate

120
00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:19,800
Speaker 5: with some terrorists, you can't negotiate with these terrorists. They

121
00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:24,160
Speaker 5: were not going to abide by a deal because they

122
00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:29,000
Speaker 5: knew if they got full nuclear capability, then their North Korea,

123
00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:33,240
Speaker 5: then they get to do whatever garbage they want and

124
00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:35,560
Speaker 5: make the world the worst place in whatever ways they

125
00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:40,000
Speaker 5: want for the foreseeable future, for generations to come, because

126
00:07:40,080 --> 00:07:42,320
Speaker 5: no one is going to take the risk of a

127
00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:45,720
Speaker 5: major strike on a country with crazies running it with

128
00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:51,360
Speaker 5: nukes at their disposal. This was the realization that Trump had,

129
00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:54,280
Speaker 5: and he tried and he tried, and he negotiated, and he.

130
00:07:54,320 --> 00:07:55,120
Speaker 2: Wanted to get a deal.

131
00:07:55,120 --> 00:08:00,080
Speaker 5: And this is mister deal maker on the global stage saying, guys,

132
00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:04,600
Speaker 5: you gotta convince me that you're serious about this one.

133
00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:07,720
Speaker 5: And what he realized was there was no deal to

134
00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:10,320
Speaker 5: be had. And you know, Clay, how many years has

135
00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:12,280
Speaker 5: it taken for everyone to go through this? Oh, we

136
00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:15,360
Speaker 5: gotta figure out some they don't want to make a deal,

137
00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:18,040
Speaker 5: and now they can't.

138
00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:21,240
Speaker 2: So that's a good thing. Now it's all over for them.

139
00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:24,840
Speaker 5: Now they are with the seventy two virgins, if that's

140
00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:28,280
Speaker 5: a thing, and they's somewhere else, and we have the

141
00:08:28,360 --> 00:08:31,840
Speaker 5: hope of a better and more prosperous future for the

142
00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:34,640
Speaker 5: Iranian people. I mean, there were fireworks here in South

143
00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:36,880
Speaker 5: Beach and look, I get it. There's a large Jewish

144
00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:39,600
Speaker 5: community where I live. I live in a mostly Jewish

145
00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:45,160
Speaker 5: enclave of Miami Beach, and everybody around here was high

146
00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:46,360
Speaker 5: fiving and think it was things.

147
00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:47,160
Speaker 2: It's fantastic.

148
00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:51,199
Speaker 5: And there were fireworks going off, Clay, and celebration of

149
00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:56,640
Speaker 5: this strike. And I have to say, so far, look

150
00:08:56,679 --> 00:08:58,160
Speaker 5: at the people that are involved, Look at the people

151
00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:00,560
Speaker 5: in charge. You've got Secretary of warhacks at you got Trump,

152
00:09:00,559 --> 00:09:02,720
Speaker 5: you got into Marco Rubio, a secretary of State.

153
00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:04,600
Speaker 2: We're not doing nation building.

154
00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:09,079
Speaker 5: This is just we're going to pick apart the tyranny

155
00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:13,320
Speaker 5: and encourage better things to happen on the ground there,

156
00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:15,800
Speaker 5: and I think that if that is the mission and

157
00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:17,640
Speaker 5: they are able to pull this off, Clay, you.

158
00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:19,320
Speaker 2: Tweeted this, and I agree with you.

159
00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:23,160
Speaker 5: Trump is the most consequential president on track to be

160
00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:27,760
Speaker 5: the most consequential president certainly since now I said consequential

161
00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:32,240
Speaker 5: not best FDR and maybe going back even further, he

162
00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:35,120
Speaker 5: may be the most consequential president since Lincoln. That's really

163
00:09:35,120 --> 00:09:37,280
Speaker 5: what we're heading toward right now, my friends, That's the

164
00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:38,439
Speaker 5: direction this is going.

165
00:09:38,520 --> 00:09:39,720
Speaker 2: If he pulls this all off.

166
00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:43,880
Speaker 1: Look, I tweeted, and I really do think it's been

167
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:49,319
Speaker 1: under discussed. I think the assassination attempts that Trump survived,

168
00:09:49,679 --> 00:09:52,920
Speaker 1: I think they changed him in a profound way. And

169
00:09:53,280 --> 00:09:57,040
Speaker 1: I don't know what his second term would look like

170
00:09:57,320 --> 00:10:00,839
Speaker 1: if those assassination attempts hadn't occurred. I think you also

171
00:10:00,920 --> 00:10:04,000
Speaker 1: have to plug in the attempts to bankrupt him, the

172
00:10:04,040 --> 00:10:06,040
Speaker 1: attempts to put him in prison for the rest of

173
00:10:06,040 --> 00:10:10,520
Speaker 1: his life. I think Trump is operating in a fearless manner,

174
00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:15,080
Speaker 1: and he is deciding to do things that aren't designed

175
00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:17,920
Speaker 1: to be good for the next six months. They're designed

176
00:10:17,920 --> 00:10:21,319
Speaker 1: to be good for the next sixty years. And I mean,

177
00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:24,880
Speaker 1: I think you can look across everything he's doing, whether

178
00:10:24,960 --> 00:10:28,320
Speaker 1: it's the ballroom that he is building at the White House,

179
00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:31,800
Speaker 1: whether it is the ceremonial arch that he is putting

180
00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:35,360
Speaker 1: in at the White House. Heck, the Redone Kennedy Center

181
00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:40,800
Speaker 1: that they are rehabbing right now. Those are physical manifestations

182
00:10:40,880 --> 00:10:44,520
Speaker 1: in a small way of the larger global perspective that

183
00:10:44,559 --> 00:10:47,840
Speaker 1: he's embarked upon. I mean, getting rid of Maduro, getting

184
00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:53,280
Speaker 1: rid of the Ayatola, basically ending communism in Cuba in

185
00:10:53,360 --> 00:10:56,400
Speaker 1: many ways, which is not being talked about very much yet,

186
00:10:56,440 --> 00:11:01,280
Speaker 1: but that entire communist regime in Cuba. We are right

187
00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:06,240
Speaker 1: now living through a modern Berlin Wall coming down moment.

188
00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:11,920
Speaker 1: Now here are the challenges. As there are great attempts

189
00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:17,280
Speaker 1: at excellence, the reach can sometimes be unreachable, and that

190
00:11:17,559 --> 00:11:21,760
Speaker 1: is the danger I think that is incumbent right now

191
00:11:22,040 --> 00:11:25,040
Speaker 1: is he's trying to do great things. And for anyone

192
00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:28,720
Speaker 1: who tries to do great things, sometimes when you stretch

193
00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:32,640
Speaker 1: for greatness, there are flaws that emerge in that process.

194
00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:36,320
Speaker 1: And so I think it's fair to say it's too early.

195
00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:40,560
Speaker 1: But buck, if you look at the June attack in Iran,

196
00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:45,760
Speaker 1: the takeout of Maduro in Venezuela and the early first

197
00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:49,400
Speaker 1: couple of days opening moves that have gone on in Iran.

198
00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:54,560
Speaker 1: They have been basically flawlessly executed. Four lost lives. I

199
00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:57,720
Speaker 1: wish there were none. But if you had told people

200
00:11:57,760 --> 00:11:59,640
Speaker 1: that all those things were going to be happening and

201
00:11:59,679 --> 00:12:03,240
Speaker 1: the call to American life would be for service members,

202
00:12:03,559 --> 00:12:07,360
Speaker 1: I think everyone would have said that's impossible. Now I think, unfortunately,

203
00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:10,000
Speaker 1: the toll is going to grow. I think for everybody

204
00:12:10,080 --> 00:12:14,040
Speaker 1: out there, you need to be watching around you. We

205
00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:17,280
Speaker 1: just saw the shooting that happened in Austin, Texas. Innocent

206
00:12:17,320 --> 00:12:21,520
Speaker 1: people lost their lives. Crazy people are emboldened by the

207
00:12:22,440 --> 00:12:26,000
Speaker 1: resident has taken It appears like quite clearly a terror attack.

208
00:12:26,040 --> 00:12:28,200
Speaker 1: I don't think they've officially said it, but the guy

209
00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:28,400
Speaker 1: had a.

210
00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:30,520
Speaker 5: I'm saying it. I know more about this than the

211
00:12:30,559 --> 00:12:32,600
Speaker 5: Austin cops looking at it. It's a terrorist attack.

212
00:12:32,640 --> 00:12:32,880
Speaker 2: Okay.

213
00:12:32,920 --> 00:12:35,520
Speaker 1: It feels like very clearly a terrorist attack to me,

214
00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:38,400
Speaker 1: and so again we'll open up phone lines.

215
00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:39,600
Speaker 2: We'll react to you guys.

216
00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:42,520
Speaker 1: By the way, it's also the eve of the primary

217
00:12:42,679 --> 00:12:45,199
Speaker 1: in Texas in addition to that attack that took place

218
00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:48,319
Speaker 1: in Austin. So there are lots of news stories out there,

219
00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:53,400
Speaker 1: but Iran is by far the biggest story. I'm I

220
00:12:53,480 --> 00:12:56,839
Speaker 1: was gleeful. I'm not gonna lie that we took this

221
00:12:57,000 --> 00:12:59,880
Speaker 1: step because we've seen so many half steps. We saw

222
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:03,160
Speaker 1: Obama give the Iranians billions of dollars. To your point, Buck,

223
00:13:03,679 --> 00:13:07,560
Speaker 1: we knew they weren't actually going to be honest brokers,

224
00:13:08,040 --> 00:13:10,679
Speaker 1: and so you're just kicking the can down down the

225
00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:13,200
Speaker 1: road if you continue to allow this group to be

226
00:13:13,240 --> 00:13:13,720
Speaker 1: in charge.

227
00:13:14,760 --> 00:13:17,720
Speaker 5: All that you had to know about this is the

228
00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:21,560
Speaker 5: people in charge thought. All we have to do is

229
00:13:21,559 --> 00:13:24,440
Speaker 5: get to the point of double crossing whoever makes a

230
00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:27,880
Speaker 5: deal with us, double cross in the international community, get

231
00:13:27,920 --> 00:13:31,800
Speaker 5: the full nuclear package going that we that we want,

232
00:13:32,440 --> 00:13:33,839
Speaker 5: and then what are they going to do about it?

233
00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:37,440
Speaker 2: That's the you know, they only had to screw us.

234
00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:39,040
Speaker 5: Over once, and then we have to deal with this

235
00:13:39,080 --> 00:13:43,160
Speaker 5: for forever, basically, wait for some internal collapse of a

236
00:13:43,200 --> 00:13:45,280
Speaker 5: regime that now has nukes. Look at how that's going

237
00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:47,400
Speaker 5: to North Korea. You've seen a lot of North Korean

238
00:13:47,400 --> 00:13:53,160
Speaker 5: opposition these days. Yeah, it was. Trump has has likely

239
00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:58,080
Speaker 5: saved us from decades more of you under said, these

240
00:13:58,120 --> 00:14:03,160
Speaker 5: are really bad people, These are really bad people in

241
00:14:03,320 --> 00:14:05,440
Speaker 5: Iran that he killed. And I know that sounds very

242
00:14:05,440 --> 00:14:08,079
Speaker 5: simplicity to people who think they know a lot about geopolitics.

243
00:14:08,360 --> 00:14:11,439
Speaker 5: I can speak the geopolitics think tank language and lingo

244
00:14:11,679 --> 00:14:15,960
Speaker 5: with the best of them. Fundamentally, these are evildoers who

245
00:14:16,040 --> 00:14:20,960
Speaker 5: had nothing but bad intentions toward their own people, toward

246
00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:23,040
Speaker 5: the rest of the world, and they've been doing it.

247
00:14:23,160 --> 00:14:25,560
Speaker 5: We let them get away with nonsense for decades. They

248
00:14:25,600 --> 00:14:27,400
Speaker 5: have the blood of Americans on their hands in a

249
00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:31,200
Speaker 5: whole bunch of different ways. And it's a tinpot, crappy

250
00:14:31,280 --> 00:14:33,840
Speaker 5: country right now. I mean the regime is, it's actually

251
00:14:33,840 --> 00:14:37,120
Speaker 5: a beautiful country. And you know, Iran in twenty years

252
00:14:37,160 --> 00:14:39,680
Speaker 5: could be amazing, the same way that Cuba in like

253
00:14:39,800 --> 00:14:41,640
Speaker 5: five years, if they got rid of the people in charge,

254
00:14:41,680 --> 00:14:45,400
Speaker 5: could be amazing. We don't have to live this way.

255
00:14:45,720 --> 00:14:47,840
Speaker 5: It's a little bit like the crime thing Clay. The

256
00:14:47,880 --> 00:14:51,040
Speaker 5: big revelation is it actually doesn't have to be like this.

257
00:14:51,840 --> 00:14:54,840
Speaker 5: And the big revelation from Trump is you can just

258
00:14:54,920 --> 00:14:57,560
Speaker 5: do stuff. You don't have to let the bad guys

259
00:14:57,640 --> 00:15:00,200
Speaker 5: just keep getting away with it. You can actually do

260
00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:01,320
Speaker 5: stuff when you're America.

261
00:15:01,440 --> 00:15:03,560
Speaker 2: So we'll see. Is there a risk. Yeah, of course

262
00:15:03,560 --> 00:15:04,080
Speaker 2: there's risk.

263
00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:09,000
Speaker 1: Look, Israel US aligned in the execution of Operation Epic

264
00:15:09,080 --> 00:15:12,560
Speaker 1: Fury to assure a lasting peace in the Middle East,

265
00:15:12,600 --> 00:15:14,840
Speaker 1: and right now you're watching it. You probably saw Trey

266
00:15:14,920 --> 00:15:18,680
Speaker 1: Yankst over the weekend on Fox News. The missiles are

267
00:15:18,760 --> 00:15:21,680
Speaker 1: raining down on Israel and every time there is that

268
00:15:21,800 --> 00:15:26,280
Speaker 1: missile alert, Israelis have to run to bomb shelters all

269
00:15:26,320 --> 00:15:29,320
Speaker 1: over their country. And the International Fellowship of Christians and

270
00:15:29,400 --> 00:15:33,119
Speaker 1: Jews is on the ground helping to build bomb shelters,

271
00:15:33,160 --> 00:15:36,480
Speaker 1: helping to take care of people in need. That's what

272
00:15:36,520 --> 00:15:40,720
Speaker 1: they do. They focus on the most, the sick, the elderly, kids,

273
00:15:40,800 --> 00:15:44,120
Speaker 1: families in great need. And the Fellowship needs your help

274
00:15:44,200 --> 00:15:48,280
Speaker 1: right now to help ensure that people are safe in Israel.

275
00:15:48,600 --> 00:15:52,760
Speaker 1: To send support called eight eight eight four eight eight IFCJ.

276
00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:56,640
Speaker 1: That's eight eight eight four eight eight IFCJ. I have

277
00:15:56,720 --> 00:16:00,320
Speaker 1: seen the work that the IFCJ does on the ground.

278
00:16:00,560 --> 00:16:04,440
Speaker 1: It is life changing. Whether it's providing food, whether it's

279
00:16:04,480 --> 00:16:09,440
Speaker 1: providing shelter from bombs. They are doing the Lord's work there.

280
00:16:09,520 --> 00:16:14,440
Speaker 1: You can go online at IFCJ dot org. That's IFCJ

282
00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:20,600
Speaker 2: You ain't imagining it.

283
00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:26,160
Speaker 6: The world has gone insane. Reclaim your sanity with Clay

284
00:16:26,240 --> 00:16:29,720
Speaker 6: and fucking find them on the free iHeartRadio app or

285

Speaker 6: wherever you get your podcasts.

286
00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:34,080
Speaker 5: There's the tone here from overseas in the the least

287
00:16:35,280 --> 00:16:39,000
Speaker 5: down into Texas with our man, the Czar of Talk,

288
00:16:39,840 --> 00:16:44,120
Speaker 5: Michael Berry, the Czar of Talk, joins us. Now, mister Barry.

289
00:16:45,440 --> 00:16:49,920
Speaker 5: Fantastic to have you as always. First, Actually, before we

290
00:16:49,960 --> 00:16:52,160
Speaker 5: get into the primary, can.

291
00:16:52,040 --> 00:16:57,800
Speaker 7: I just say aggressive opening? It's very aggressive music off chosen?

292
00:16:58,560 --> 00:17:02,520
Speaker 2: Oh the opening music, yeah, we like high energy.

293
00:17:02,640 --> 00:17:04,320
Speaker 7: Choice was very aggressive.

294
00:17:04,720 --> 00:17:07,800
Speaker 2: Well, lets the band here. I might see them tonight.

295
00:17:07,880 --> 00:17:10,240
Speaker 1: Actually interesting that you admit it and that you bring

296
00:17:10,280 --> 00:17:13,600
Speaker 1: it up because I'm doing a big charity songwriting event tonight.

297
00:17:13,800 --> 00:17:17,400
Speaker 1: Not me, but I'm going and they typically come out

298
00:17:17,440 --> 00:17:21,840
Speaker 1: and perform and they are huge fans of Rush, and

299
00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:24,480
Speaker 1: you probably are not going to be surprised, Michael, And

300
00:17:24,520 --> 00:17:26,240
Speaker 1: they're fans of this show too because they have great

301
00:17:26,240 --> 00:17:29,639
Speaker 1: tasting radio. But a lot of musicians, when you asked

302
00:17:29,680 --> 00:17:33,280
Speaker 1: to use their music and then they find out what

303
00:17:33,359 --> 00:17:37,040
Speaker 1: your politics are, they either try to refuse to allow

304
00:17:37,080 --> 00:17:39,879
Speaker 1: you to use the music, or, as we have seen happen,

305
00:17:40,600 --> 00:17:43,600
Speaker 1: they start to extort you in how much you're gonna

306
00:17:43,600 --> 00:17:46,439
Speaker 1: have to pay in order to lose their music. So

307
00:17:46,800 --> 00:17:50,560
Speaker 1: so so they're fine with the politics, but you're gonna

308
00:17:50,600 --> 00:17:52,920
Speaker 1: have to pay a lot more. And so we wanted

309
00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:55,639
Speaker 1: to find a band and a song My Own Worst

310
00:17:55,760 --> 00:17:58,520
Speaker 1: Enemy that was a little bit youthful in the nineties.

311
00:17:58,520 --> 00:18:00,480
Speaker 1: That is a popular song now for a lot of

312
00:18:00,520 --> 00:18:03,560
Speaker 1: kids coming up now. It's cycled back as well, but

313
00:18:03,680 --> 00:18:07,080
Speaker 1: also from people that we knew would never say, hey,

314
00:18:07,560 --> 00:18:10,200
Speaker 1: we're going to extort you because we hate your politics.

315
00:18:10,280 --> 00:18:12,720
Speaker 1: We wanted guys that were behind us squarely in the

316
00:18:12,760 --> 00:18:13,840
Speaker 1: bandlet is so.

317
00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:16,760
Speaker 7: We're I remember when when y'all started with them and

318
00:18:16,800 --> 00:18:19,000
Speaker 7: you kind of explained the choice. I thought it was

319
00:18:19,119 --> 00:18:21,600
Speaker 7: it was an inspired choice because it wasn't so obvious.

320
00:18:21,920 --> 00:18:24,560
Speaker 7: And it is a good it's good pacing for the show.

321
00:18:24,640 --> 00:18:27,200
Speaker 7: It's high energy. You know, you guys are young and aggressive,

322
00:18:27,240 --> 00:18:29,320
Speaker 7: and I mean it says everything you want to say,

323
00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:30,640
Speaker 7: so I storry to interrupt your book.

324
00:18:30,840 --> 00:18:33,080
Speaker 5: It's okay, mister zar No, I mean, do you want

325
00:18:33,080 --> 00:18:35,760
Speaker 5: to also help us figure out how to solve Midy's

326
00:18:35,760 --> 00:18:38,320
Speaker 5: peace and maybe get some good Republicans out of this

327
00:18:38,359 --> 00:18:40,399
Speaker 5: primary in your state. You know, I don't want to

328
00:18:40,400 --> 00:18:42,080
Speaker 5: detract from our music discussion, but.

329
00:18:43,880 --> 00:18:46,520
Speaker 7: Sorry, we're talking college football and music things that you

330
00:18:46,520 --> 00:18:48,440
Speaker 7: were We could talk about the CIA if that'll make

331
00:18:48,440 --> 00:18:49,760
Speaker 7: you happy, but that's later this week.

332
00:18:50,320 --> 00:18:52,800
Speaker 5: Well that's pretty much what everyone's talking about right now, Michael.

333
00:18:52,800 --> 00:18:55,639
Speaker 5: But let's take you into Texas and tell us about

334
00:18:55,640 --> 00:18:58,960
Speaker 5: this primary, which is going to be unfortunately a little

335
00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:03,800
Speaker 5: overshadowed a lot of bombs dropping overseas. Okay, but big

336
00:19:03,840 --> 00:19:06,800
Speaker 5: primary in Texas. What are the main races? What are

337
00:19:06,800 --> 00:19:08,360
Speaker 5: you watching? What are you seeing so far?

338
00:19:09,080 --> 00:19:13,600
Speaker 7: Well, interestingly, you know what happened in Iran is sucking

339
00:19:13,680 --> 00:19:16,719
Speaker 7: up all the energy in the room, this show, Fox

340
00:19:16,920 --> 00:19:19,080
Speaker 7: and everywhere else, right, because this is what people want

341
00:19:19,119 --> 00:19:21,280
Speaker 7: to talk about. This is a big deal. But then

342
00:19:21,359 --> 00:19:24,080
Speaker 7: we had kind of an aftermatch shooting in Austin. My

343
00:19:24,160 --> 00:19:27,000
Speaker 7: son's at UT as you know, and so every parent

344
00:19:27,040 --> 00:19:28,879
Speaker 7: of a UT kid and everybody that lives in the

345
00:19:28,920 --> 00:19:31,480
Speaker 7: Austin area is concerned about this. And the guy's wearing

346
00:19:31,520 --> 00:19:34,400
Speaker 7: a property of Allah sweatshirts. So we expect to see

347
00:19:34,400 --> 00:19:37,640
Speaker 7: these terror cell killings and these sort of reaction killings.

348
00:19:37,720 --> 00:19:39,959
Speaker 7: So those two things are going to affect a turnout

349
00:19:40,040 --> 00:19:42,200
Speaker 7: that was expected to be about forty percent of our

350
00:19:42,200 --> 00:19:45,600
Speaker 7: total turnout. So we're watching that very closely because that

351
00:19:45,640 --> 00:19:48,160
Speaker 7: could mean that the turnout is lower and the late

352
00:19:48,200 --> 00:19:51,480
Speaker 7: impact is reduced. But the biggest race is the US

353
00:19:51,520 --> 00:19:55,879
Speaker 7: Senate race, where four term Senator John Cornyan, who Trump

354
00:19:55,920 --> 00:19:59,720
Speaker 7: doesn't care for, did not endorse, called on Trump not

355
00:19:59,800 --> 00:20:02,040
Speaker 7: to run. He's part of the kind of John Thune,

356
00:20:02,040 --> 00:20:05,679
Speaker 7: Mitch McConnell, and really even Susan Collins and Lisa Murkowski

357
00:20:05,720 --> 00:20:08,840
Speaker 7: cabal and the Texas base has had enough of him.

358
00:20:08,880 --> 00:20:11,760
Speaker 7: He has not one but two strong challengers, Wesley Hunt,

359
00:20:11,960 --> 00:20:15,000
Speaker 7: a congressman, and Ken Paxton, who's leading the race who's

360
00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:19,080
Speaker 7: a Trump beloved attorney general. So we're hoping to bounce

361
00:20:19,320 --> 00:20:22,040
Speaker 7: John Cornyn and send the swamp a message. We've got

362
00:20:22,080 --> 00:20:25,800
Speaker 7: another Congressman, Dan Crenshaw, who I worked my tail off

363
00:20:25,840 --> 00:20:27,879
Speaker 7: to get elected in twenty eighteen, and he's turned on

364
00:20:27,960 --> 00:20:31,840
Speaker 7: everybody from Trump to his district, and we're hoping to

365
00:20:31,880 --> 00:20:34,920
Speaker 7: bounce him as well. And it's the only Republican incumbent

366
00:20:35,600 --> 00:20:39,040
Speaker 7: congressman that Trump didn't endorse in that race too, So

367
00:20:39,080 --> 00:20:41,840
Speaker 7: a couple of big themes going on there with the

368
00:20:41,920 --> 00:20:45,280
Speaker 7: base saying, and much to my delight, that we've had

369
00:20:45,320 --> 00:20:48,199
Speaker 7: it with the insiders who go to DC and promise

370
00:20:48,240 --> 00:20:49,520
Speaker 7: one thing but vote the other way.

371
00:20:50,359 --> 00:20:50,800
Speaker 2: Michael.

372
00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:53,439
Speaker 1: A big discussion that we've been having on the program

373
00:20:53,760 --> 00:20:56,080
Speaker 1: is last week we had a ton of people calling

374
00:20:56,119 --> 00:20:59,600
Speaker 1: in saying that they were voting in the Democrat primary

375
00:20:59,680 --> 00:21:03,359
Speaker 1: because they wanted Jasmine Crockett to be the nominee. It

376
00:21:03,440 --> 00:21:06,240
Speaker 1: seems to me likely you tell me if I'm wrong

377
00:21:06,480 --> 00:21:10,720
Speaker 1: that the Republican nominee is not going to be selected

378
00:21:10,760 --> 00:21:13,920
Speaker 1: in the Senate because I think it requires over fifty percent,

379
00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:16,280
Speaker 1: and as you just said, there are three candidates that

380
00:21:16,320 --> 00:21:17,920
Speaker 1: are running, so there probably is going to be a

381
00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:19,920
Speaker 1: runoff in late May. Let me know if I get

382
00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:23,520
Speaker 1: any of this wrong. Whereas it's likely that the Democrats

383
00:21:23,600 --> 00:21:28,280
Speaker 1: are going to be picking their Senate nominee tomorrow, So

384
00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:32,199
Speaker 1: would you advise or tell people not to do it,

385
00:21:32,720 --> 00:21:36,880
Speaker 1: that they should vote in the Senate on the Democrat side.

386
00:21:36,920 --> 00:21:38,760
Speaker 1: I know there's a lot of other races, but what

387
00:21:38,840 --> 00:21:41,600
Speaker 1: have you been telling your audience? How would you analyze that?

388
00:21:42,800 --> 00:21:45,359
Speaker 7: You know, look from when Rush did Operation Chaos in

389
00:21:45,400 --> 00:21:47,600
Speaker 7: two thousand and eight, especially in Pennsylvania. It was a

390
00:21:47,600 --> 00:21:51,280
Speaker 7: blast because we were saying to support Hillary over Barack,

391
00:21:51,320 --> 00:21:53,080
Speaker 7: which was kind of ironic and it was a lot

392
00:21:53,080 --> 00:21:55,800
Speaker 7: of fun. But we already had our Republican nominee. In

393
00:21:55,840 --> 00:21:57,720
Speaker 7: this case, we don't, and we have a chance to

394
00:21:57,840 --> 00:22:02,440
Speaker 7: bounce a swamp creature who's a really bad guy. So

395
00:22:02,520 --> 00:22:06,119
Speaker 7: I tell people vote in our primary. We're not seeing

396
00:22:06,119 --> 00:22:09,159
Speaker 7: that number. Republican primary voting is up twenty five percent

397
00:22:09,240 --> 00:22:13,600
Speaker 7: this time. It's up two hundred and fifty percent, or

398
00:22:13,640 --> 00:22:15,879
Speaker 7: a time and a half over what it was the

399
00:22:15,880 --> 00:22:19,800
Speaker 7: Democrats from twenty twenty two. So Democrats are very energized,

400
00:22:19,840 --> 00:22:22,280
Speaker 7: which is quite odd here. I would like to see

401
00:22:22,320 --> 00:22:25,040
Speaker 7: Jasmine Crockett win because I think she's a terrible general

402
00:22:25,080 --> 00:22:28,520
Speaker 7: election candidate. But we have this whole theme Clay going on.

403
00:22:29,320 --> 00:22:32,040
Speaker 7: They call it black girl magic, where you've got these

404
00:22:32,119 --> 00:22:35,640
Speaker 7: black women who are kind of this type of character

405
00:22:36,119 --> 00:22:39,680
Speaker 7: who are now running with a huge base of support.

406
00:22:39,920 --> 00:22:42,679
Speaker 7: But the question is can they win a general election race. No,

407
00:22:42,840 --> 00:22:44,879
Speaker 7: they're going to scare the hell out of Texans who

408
00:22:44,920 --> 00:22:47,320
Speaker 7: are going to say, oh my goodness, we cannot have

409
00:22:47,400 --> 00:22:50,120
Speaker 7: Jasmine Crockett as the Senate candidate, but I think tall

410
00:22:50,240 --> 00:22:53,359
Speaker 7: Rico is beatable as well. I want people to vote

411
00:22:53,400 --> 00:22:55,119
Speaker 7: to be Corny, and that's my hope. And there are

412
00:22:55,119 --> 00:22:57,160
Speaker 7: a lot of other races that are really important. We've

413
00:22:57,200 --> 00:23:01,159
Speaker 7: got some Bellweather cases of the base, the Tea Party,

414
00:23:01,160 --> 00:23:04,840
Speaker 7: the MAGA, the America First versus Swamp candidates in the

415
00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:07,359
Speaker 7: state House, Senate, in US Congress.

416
00:23:07,720 --> 00:23:10,360
Speaker 5: What did cornn do? We're talking to Michael Barry Zar

417
00:23:10,440 --> 00:23:13,680
Speaker 5: of Talk. You all know him, uh from well all

418
00:23:13,680 --> 00:23:17,560
Speaker 5: of his fantastic hours on radio. What did Cornyn do?

419
00:23:17,680 --> 00:23:19,440
Speaker 5: Or just give us some sense when you're talking about

420
00:23:19,440 --> 00:23:22,440
Speaker 5: the swamp creatures, right, Corny? And you also put Dan

421
00:23:22,520 --> 00:23:24,920
Speaker 5: Crenshaw on there because Dan, I got to say, I

422
00:23:24,960 --> 00:23:27,480
Speaker 5: don't know Dan Crenshaw. I've never met him. I don't

423
00:23:27,480 --> 00:23:29,199
Speaker 5: even think I've ever interviewed him. Maybe once, but I

424
00:23:29,200 --> 00:23:31,920
Speaker 5: don't I don't remember ever interviewing him. No personal beef

425
00:23:31,920 --> 00:23:35,560
Speaker 5: with him at all. For a wounded Navy seal that

426
00:23:36,320 --> 00:23:39,480
Speaker 5: to be a Republican member of Congress from Texas and

427
00:23:39,640 --> 00:23:44,080
Speaker 5: have so many people in the base so really angry

428
00:23:44,119 --> 00:23:46,760
Speaker 5: at him, There's got to be something going on, and

429
00:23:47,160 --> 00:23:48,199
Speaker 5: I can't speak to what it is.

430
00:23:48,240 --> 00:23:49,000
Speaker 2: I really don't know.

431
00:23:49,240 --> 00:23:51,480
Speaker 5: All I know is that whenever I see Crenshaw's name

432
00:23:51,520 --> 00:23:55,400
Speaker 5: pop up among people who are all in on MAGA,

433
00:23:56,000 --> 00:23:57,919
Speaker 5: I hear a lot of criticism, a lot of he

434
00:23:58,080 --> 00:23:58,919
Speaker 5: we can't trust him.

435
00:23:59,040 --> 00:23:59,720
Speaker 2: What happened there?

436
00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:02,640
Speaker 5: Tell me about Crenshawn corny, because you're saying it's important

437
00:24:02,640 --> 00:24:03,760
Speaker 5: to get better candidates.

438
00:24:04,520 --> 00:24:07,280
Speaker 7: I busted my butt to get Dan Crenshaw elected, and

439
00:24:07,320 --> 00:24:09,879
Speaker 7: I have regretted it from three months after that fact.

440
00:24:10,920 --> 00:24:13,880
Speaker 7: He's turned every Navy seal that's public out there, from

441
00:24:13,920 --> 00:24:17,280
Speaker 7: Sean Ryan to David Goggins to Eddie Gallagher, He's turned

442
00:24:17,320 --> 00:24:22,359
Speaker 7: on them. He's arrogant. His stock trading history is highly questionable.

443
00:24:22,400 --> 00:24:25,280
Speaker 7: When you bring it up, he threatens to sue you.

444
00:24:25,280 --> 00:24:27,440
Speaker 7: You the cease and desist. I've gotten them as well.

445
00:24:28,119 --> 00:24:31,600
Speaker 7: He was for red flag laws, which shocked people. He's

446
00:24:31,640 --> 00:24:34,440
Speaker 7: had these moments. He screamed at a little girl at

447
00:24:34,440 --> 00:24:37,159
Speaker 7: a town hall meeting ten years old in his district

448
00:24:37,240 --> 00:24:39,840
Speaker 7: when she asked him about a quote he gave about

449
00:24:39,920 --> 00:24:44,160
Speaker 7: Jesus Christ being an archetype like Superman, and just time

450
00:24:44,200 --> 00:24:46,480
Speaker 7: after time. I think he's got anger management issues. I

451
00:24:46,480 --> 00:24:48,920
Speaker 7: think he's got some personal demons to be honest, and

452
00:24:48,960 --> 00:24:51,160
Speaker 7: I think he got there and he bought the hype

453
00:24:51,320 --> 00:24:54,320
Speaker 7: after the SNL moment with Pete Davidson when it went

454
00:24:54,359 --> 00:24:57,600
Speaker 7: to his head, and he's just he's the base doesn't

455
00:24:57,640 --> 00:25:00,480
Speaker 7: like him. As regards Cornyn, he's he's been there for

456
00:25:00,520 --> 00:25:02,680
Speaker 7: twenty four years, he's been in public life for forty

457
00:25:02,680 --> 00:25:05,800
Speaker 7: one years. He's out of touch terribly. In twenty twenty four,

458
00:25:05,920 --> 00:25:08,600
Speaker 7: great example, he called on Trump to drop out of

459
00:25:08,600 --> 00:25:10,320
Speaker 7: the race and not run, and he said it was

460
00:25:10,359 --> 00:25:13,879
Speaker 7: time for America to move past Donald Trump. His moment

461
00:25:13,960 --> 00:25:16,879
Speaker 7: had passed. He's got a real high rating for voting

462
00:25:16,880 --> 00:25:20,439
Speaker 7: with the Democrats and for Texas Republicans that's not a

463
00:25:20,480 --> 00:25:25,320
Speaker 7: good thing. He seems to support Ukraine more than he

464
00:25:25,359 --> 00:25:28,840
Speaker 7: does Texas. He was against the border wall and openly

465
00:25:28,880 --> 00:25:31,720
Speaker 7: against the borderwall, much like John McCain. Think of John

466
00:25:31,800 --> 00:25:35,399
Speaker 7: McCain amongst the base, and you've got that he's incredibly

467
00:25:35,440 --> 00:25:37,679
Speaker 7: out of touch with the base on a number of issues.

468
00:25:38,080 --> 00:25:41,120
Speaker 7: The anti Trump stuff was bad. He's a red flag guy.

469
00:25:41,440 --> 00:25:46,320
Speaker 7: He's very very soft on amnesty, and he was against

470
00:25:46,359 --> 00:25:49,080
Speaker 7: the border wall. I think those things are sort of

471
00:25:49,119 --> 00:25:50,800
Speaker 7: typical of a guy that's been up there a long

472
00:25:50,840 --> 00:25:52,719
Speaker 7: time and forgot where he came from.

473
00:25:53,359 --> 00:25:54,360
Speaker 2: We have mention.

474
00:25:54,400 --> 00:25:57,399
Speaker 7: Show me one other example. He came out and said

475
00:25:57,840 --> 00:26:01,480
Speaker 7: that he was worried that he didn't win. It was

476
00:26:01,520 --> 00:26:04,920
Speaker 7: because too many radicals voted in the Republican primary. If

477
00:26:04,960 --> 00:26:06,600
Speaker 7: you are a tea party, if you are a MAGA,

478
00:26:06,640 --> 00:26:09,360
Speaker 7: if you are American first, he considers you a radical.

479
00:26:09,480 --> 00:26:10,879
Speaker 7: That tells you he's a swamp creature.

480
00:26:11,040 --> 00:26:13,280
Speaker 2: Sorry, we're talking to Michael Berry right now.

481
00:26:13,320 --> 00:26:16,600
Speaker 1: We should mention we have Ken Paxton at two thirty

482
00:26:16,680 --> 00:26:18,240
Speaker 1: eastern that is next hour.

483
00:26:18,400 --> 00:26:18,800
Speaker 2: Today.

484
00:26:18,920 --> 00:26:22,680
Speaker 1: We have John Cornyn. We've also reached out to Wesley Hunt,

485
00:26:22,720 --> 00:26:24,680
Speaker 1: have not heard back from him. Those are the three

486
00:26:24,800 --> 00:26:30,040
Speaker 1: primary Republican challengers. We also, Michael Berry, have reached out

487
00:26:30,080 --> 00:26:34,200
Speaker 1: to Jasmine Crockett and to James tallerco to invite all

488
00:26:34,280 --> 00:26:38,480
Speaker 1: five Senate candidates on because we are fair and balanced,

489
00:26:38,920 --> 00:26:42,800
Speaker 1: unlike sure many late night television show hosts. So just FYI,

490
00:26:42,840 --> 00:26:46,439
Speaker 1: we have invited everyone on to make their case. So

491
00:26:46,920 --> 00:26:50,639
Speaker 1: what do you expect is my analysis of this likely

492
00:26:50,720 --> 00:26:52,919
Speaker 1: to be? Let me tell you what I think the

493
00:26:53,040 --> 00:26:56,080
Speaker 1: data is lining up to show. You tell me if

494
00:26:56,119 --> 00:27:01,200
Speaker 1: I'm wrong. Unless Jasmine Crockett gets a huge turn out tomorrow.

495
00:27:01,560 --> 00:27:04,760
Speaker 1: I think James Talerco is going to be the Democrat nominee.

496
00:27:05,560 --> 00:27:07,560
Speaker 1: It appears to me that we are going to have

497
00:27:07,640 --> 00:27:13,040
Speaker 1: a runoff, most likely between Ken Paxton and John Cornyn,

498
00:27:13,320 --> 00:27:16,400
Speaker 1: which will take place in May. Would you sign on

499
00:27:16,440 --> 00:27:18,880
Speaker 1: to both of those things as the most likely outcome?

500
00:27:18,920 --> 00:27:21,520
Speaker 1: And again we encourage all of you that have not

501
00:27:21,720 --> 00:27:24,480
Speaker 1: voted in Texas to get out and vote tomorrow.

502
00:27:25,520 --> 00:27:29,439
Speaker 7: I think Paxton leads going into a runoff, which is

503
00:27:29,520 --> 00:27:32,440
Speaker 7: ten weeks away. Hard to believe. With Cornan, I think

504
00:27:32,480 --> 00:27:36,000
Speaker 7: that's the most likely thing to happen. Cornyan and the

505
00:27:36,080 --> 00:27:38,360
Speaker 7: DC swamp did a number on Wesley Hunt and it's

506
00:27:38,359 --> 00:27:39,880
Speaker 7: been hard for him to keep up. So I think

507
00:27:39,920 --> 00:27:43,280
Speaker 7: you've got Paxton leading Cornyn going into a runoff. I

508
00:27:43,320 --> 00:27:46,240
Speaker 7: don't know that the Taller Rico win is as certain

509
00:27:46,280 --> 00:27:48,639
Speaker 7: as the Taller Rico people tell you it is. Every

510
00:27:48,680 --> 00:27:52,879
Speaker 7: poll consistently had her winning, had her leading by five

511
00:27:52,920 --> 00:27:55,720
Speaker 7: to twelve percentage points. Those numbers are coming out of

512
00:27:55,720 --> 00:27:59,879
Speaker 7: Taller Rico's community, and that came after Stephen Colbert jumped

513
00:27:59,880 --> 00:28:01,920
Speaker 7: in to kind of rescue him and that whole little

514
00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:04,399
Speaker 7: hoax that they put together there. I think it's still

515
00:28:04,560 --> 00:28:08,680
Speaker 7: very possible that Jasmine Crockett wins. In fact, I predict

516
00:28:08,720 --> 00:28:12,200
Speaker 7: she wins because while turnout level amongst the base, especially

517
00:28:12,240 --> 00:28:15,560
Speaker 7: amongst the black bass, it's going to be heavier than expected.

518
00:28:15,600 --> 00:28:16,680
Speaker 7: And I predict she wins.

519
00:28:18,080 --> 00:28:22,200
Speaker 2: Well if the Tsar saith it's such the Czar makes it's.

520
00:28:22,040 --> 00:28:24,320
Speaker 7: Room for white liberals and the Democrat Party in Texas

521
00:28:24,359 --> 00:28:25,200
Speaker 7: any longer.

522
00:28:26,640 --> 00:28:28,800
Speaker 2: And interesting. Jasmine Crockett isn't fair to say.

523
00:28:28,840 --> 00:28:31,199
Speaker 1: I said, if she's the nominee, that there is a

524
00:28:31,440 --> 00:28:33,920
Speaker 1: zero percent chance she could win in Texas.

525
00:28:33,960 --> 00:28:34,399
Speaker 2: Would you go?

526
00:28:34,600 --> 00:28:37,600
Speaker 1: You know the state of Texas well, is zero percent

527
00:28:37,640 --> 00:28:41,520
Speaker 1: the right number If Jasmine Crockett is the nominee.

528
00:28:40,480 --> 00:28:43,640
Speaker 7: Texas is the prize for Democrats. And Beto O'Rourke was

529
00:28:43,680 --> 00:28:46,360
Speaker 7: the best candidate they had, kind of a Gavin Newsome

530
00:28:46,480 --> 00:28:48,760
Speaker 7: kind of guy that you know, can get the young

531
00:28:48,880 --> 00:28:51,680
Speaker 7: vote and he's cool and he's hip and hopefully you

532
00:28:51,680 --> 00:28:54,440
Speaker 7: can mobilize blacks. Blacks don't vote for a guy like that,

533
00:28:54,760 --> 00:28:58,240
Speaker 7: and there aren't enough white liberals and moderates left, so

534
00:28:58,400 --> 00:29:01,000
Speaker 7: tall Rico is still from that mode. Mold. He can

535
00:29:01,120 --> 00:29:03,840
Speaker 7: quote the Bible ast why abortion is good and that

536
00:29:03,920 --> 00:29:06,360
Speaker 7: thrills them. But I don't think you win come November,

537
00:29:06,680 --> 00:29:08,800
Speaker 7: and I think that it's still kind of a very

538
00:29:08,800 --> 00:29:11,760
Speaker 7: polarist and there is just no room left for a

539
00:29:11,800 --> 00:29:14,000
Speaker 7: white liberal and the Democrat Party. Those folks have had

540
00:29:14,040 --> 00:29:17,720
Speaker 7: to gravitate white labor, white farmers. They've all moved over

541
00:29:18,200 --> 00:29:20,560
Speaker 7: to the Republican Party. They've had to the party changed

542
00:29:20,560 --> 00:29:21,000
Speaker 7: too much.

543
00:29:21,920 --> 00:29:25,560
Speaker 5: Well, I'm happy to hear that Fortress, Texas is holding

544
00:29:25,600 --> 00:29:29,120
Speaker 5: strong for freedom in America. Although sounds like you're not

545
00:29:29,160 --> 00:29:31,240
Speaker 5: going to be moving to Florida anytime soon, z Are.

546
00:29:31,680 --> 00:29:32,520
Speaker 2: That's the only jobs.

547
00:29:32,560 --> 00:29:34,080
Speaker 7: Glad to come visit you on your birthday.

00:29:47,160 --> 00:29:47,600
Speaker 2: No doubt.

554
00:29:47,760 --> 00:29:50,280
Speaker 1: And it's crazy, I know for many of you to

555
00:29:50,320 --> 00:29:52,760
Speaker 1: realize this as it was for me. We're coming up

Speaker 1: Big Primary in Texas tomorrow. Ken Paxton will join us

584
00:31:39,000 --> 00:31:42,760
Speaker 1: at the bottom of the hour. Other contenders between now

585
00:31:42,960 --> 00:31:46,400
Speaker 1: and then as well. We have put out invites to everyone.

586
00:31:46,520 --> 00:31:50,680
Speaker 1: But the biggest story going on, certainly right now and

587
00:31:50,760 --> 00:31:52,720
Speaker 1: maybe for the next several weeks.

588
00:31:52,640 --> 00:31:58,280
Speaker 2: Is the war in Iran. We played earlier for you.

589
00:31:58,360 --> 00:32:02,560
Speaker 1: The latest updates from pren Trump a couple of details

590
00:32:02,640 --> 00:32:07,040
Speaker 1: off the top, stock market not moving basically flat, oil

591
00:32:07,080 --> 00:32:10,360
Speaker 1: prices up five percent. That is not a very substantial

592
00:32:10,480 --> 00:32:14,440
Speaker 1: rise there. So the economic reaction to the war so

593
00:32:14,560 --> 00:32:19,720
Speaker 1: far has not been incredibly significant. Right now, as we

594
00:32:19,760 --> 00:32:23,240
Speaker 1: are talking to all of you, something unfortunately that may

595
00:32:23,240 --> 00:32:26,240
Speaker 1: be very important for many of you out there is

596
00:32:26,280 --> 00:32:30,640
Speaker 1: to remain aware and vigilant as there is an update

597
00:32:30,720 --> 00:32:34,520
Speaker 1: right now in Austin, Texas having to do with a

598
00:32:35,040 --> 00:32:38,880
Speaker 1: what seems like a terror inspired attack on innocent people

599
00:32:39,760 --> 00:32:46,920
Speaker 1: out on the night in the bar community when someone

600
00:32:46,960 --> 00:32:51,280
Speaker 1: who was wearing a pro Alla and pro Iran shirt

601
00:32:51,360 --> 00:32:53,760
Speaker 1: decided that they were going to kill innocent people. Will

602
00:32:54,000 --> 00:32:56,440
Speaker 1: let you know what the Austin police say about that.

603
00:32:57,000 --> 00:33:01,680
Speaker 1: I think he also had photos posters of Iranian leaders

604
00:33:01,720 --> 00:33:05,720
Speaker 1: in his home, so he's leaving a bit of a

605
00:33:05,760 --> 00:33:08,840
Speaker 1: clue as to the motivation. I think I think one

606
00:33:08,880 --> 00:33:13,680
Speaker 1: might see yes positive Los Angeles, Washington, d C, New

607
00:33:13,760 --> 00:33:18,480
Speaker 1: York City. The response from people of Iranian descent immigrants

608
00:33:18,560 --> 00:33:23,320
Speaker 1: and there first and second generation offspring here has been incredible.

609
00:33:23,360 --> 00:33:26,600
Speaker 1: President Trump being praised significantly. We haven't talked about the

610
00:33:26,640 --> 00:33:32,400
Speaker 1: political ramifications of this thus far, Buck, because obviously we're

611
00:33:32,440 --> 00:33:34,640
Speaker 1: in the midst of a war, but it didn't stop

612
00:33:35,040 --> 00:33:41,840
Speaker 1: Democrats from immediately lining up, with the exception of John Fetterman.

613
00:33:41,880 --> 00:33:44,480
Speaker 1: And here's something John Fetterman posted a few hours ago

614
00:33:45,200 --> 00:33:48,240
Speaker 1: that I think gets at the crux of this issue.

615
00:33:48,240 --> 00:33:48,520
Speaker 2: Buck.

616
00:33:49,000 --> 00:33:52,600
Speaker 1: Every member in the US Senate agrees we can't allow

617
00:33:52,760 --> 00:33:57,720
Speaker 1: Iran to acquire a nuclear weapon. I'm baffled why so

618
00:33:57,840 --> 00:34:00,960
Speaker 1: many are unwilling to support the only.

619
00:34:00,760 --> 00:34:02,080
Speaker 2: Action to achieve that.

620
00:34:02,680 --> 00:34:06,240
Speaker 1: Empty sloganeering versus commitment to global.

621
00:34:05,880 --> 00:34:08,399
Speaker 2: Security, which is it?

622
00:34:08,960 --> 00:34:11,359
Speaker 1: I thought that was well said by Senator Fetterman, who

623
00:34:11,400 --> 00:34:14,720
Speaker 1: has become the sanest of all Democrats. We certainly wouldn't

624
00:34:14,760 --> 00:34:19,000
Speaker 1: have anticipated this when his election was going on, the

625
00:34:19,120 --> 00:34:21,680
Speaker 1: race was going on, But Buck, that kind of gets

626
00:34:21,719 --> 00:34:23,960
Speaker 1: to it. And what I would say in general is

627
00:34:24,480 --> 00:34:30,120
Speaker 1: a reflective anti Trump policy is we all know moronic, right.

628
00:34:30,200 --> 00:34:33,360
Speaker 1: You can't be one hundred percent opposed to basically everything

629
00:34:33,440 --> 00:34:39,360
Speaker 1: that anyone does. But this is a modern day Berlin

630
00:34:39,600 --> 00:34:43,120
Speaker 1: Wall moment. And I was a kid, you may not

631
00:34:43,160 --> 00:34:45,600
Speaker 1: have even been born back in nineteen eighty nine when

632
00:34:45,600 --> 00:34:49,920
Speaker 1: the Berlin Wall came down. I don't remember at the

633
00:34:49,960 --> 00:34:53,960
Speaker 1: time Democrats running around saying, oh, we're opposed to everything

634
00:34:54,040 --> 00:34:58,720
Speaker 1: that's going on with President George Bush senior, the older

635
00:34:58,760 --> 00:35:02,239
Speaker 1: Bush when he was an office. Then I remember sort

636
00:35:02,239 --> 00:35:05,799
Speaker 1: of a universal celebration of the fact that freedom was

637
00:35:05,840 --> 00:35:09,320
Speaker 1: coming to many countries in Eastern Europe and the wall

638
00:35:09,440 --> 00:35:12,680
Speaker 1: between East and West Berlin was coming down was seen

639
00:35:13,080 --> 00:35:16,719
Speaker 1: as the ultimate triumph in our battle against Russia in

640
00:35:16,760 --> 00:35:20,160
Speaker 1: the Cold War. Here and again, I understand that a

641
00:35:20,200 --> 00:35:22,600
Speaker 1: lot of people are not connecting all these things. I

642
00:35:22,600 --> 00:35:25,759
Speaker 1: think they should be Venezuela has more freedom than it.

643
00:35:25,719 --> 00:35:26,800
Speaker 2: Has had in decades.

644
00:35:27,160 --> 00:35:30,239
Speaker 1: Cuba is closer to freedom than it has been in decades,

645
00:35:30,640 --> 00:35:35,279
Speaker 1: and Iran right now is freer, probably than it has

646
00:35:35,400 --> 00:35:39,640
Speaker 1: been in decades already with a hoped for continued movement

647
00:35:39,719 --> 00:35:44,719
Speaker 1: towards more freedom. President Trump is taking the most aggressive

648
00:35:44,760 --> 00:35:47,319
Speaker 1: policies in favor of basic human rights that we have

649
00:35:47,719 --> 00:35:52,200
Speaker 1: seen in generations in this country. And meanwhile Democrats are

650
00:35:52,280 --> 00:35:55,839
Speaker 1: lining up and saying, after, this is just I do

651
00:35:55,880 --> 00:35:58,839
Speaker 1: think it's worth mentioning that just a couple of years ago,

652
00:35:58,880 --> 00:36:02,480
Speaker 1: they were all over campus is demanding freedom for people

653
00:36:02,480 --> 00:36:06,200
Speaker 1: in the Middle East, even though it was freedom in Gaza,

654
00:36:06,239 --> 00:36:08,720
Speaker 1: which is one of the most restrictive areas on the planet,

655
00:36:08,760 --> 00:36:12,280
Speaker 1: and Hamas is a terror organization that runs Gaza. Now

656
00:36:12,320 --> 00:36:16,880
Speaker 1: we have President Trump potentially liberating ninety million people, giving

657
00:36:16,920 --> 00:36:20,160
Speaker 1: more basic human rights to women around the world. The

658
00:36:20,200 --> 00:36:23,120
Speaker 1: goal here is than has been done by any president

659
00:36:23,160 --> 00:36:26,880
Speaker 1: in generations, and Democrats perspective is we can't be in

660
00:36:26,920 --> 00:36:30,840
Speaker 1: favor of this. They're in an intractable position, it seems

661
00:36:30,920 --> 00:36:34,120
Speaker 1: to me, when it comes to trying to justify their

662
00:36:34,200 --> 00:36:36,200
Speaker 1: attacks on Trump in this manner.

663
00:36:36,800 --> 00:36:38,680
Speaker 5: Oh, keep in mind, it not only would be a

664
00:36:38,800 --> 00:36:42,200
Speaker 5: huge win for Trump, it would be a repudiation of

665
00:36:42,719 --> 00:36:45,840
Speaker 5: the single achievement, if you can call it that, of

666
00:36:45,920 --> 00:36:50,680
Speaker 5: eight years of Obama foreign policy. And Obama is certainly

667
00:36:51,200 --> 00:36:55,240
Speaker 5: the most remarkable Democrat politician of the twenty first century,

668
00:36:55,320 --> 00:37:02,000
Speaker 5: the most lasting legacy. Transformed the obviously, I think made

669
00:37:02,000 --> 00:37:03,560
Speaker 5: it much worse in a lot of ways, but he

670
00:37:04,520 --> 00:37:09,880
Speaker 5: didn't matter. He certainly had an impact. His whole Mid

671
00:37:09,960 --> 00:37:12,400
Speaker 5: East policy was built around getting some deal with Iran.

672
00:37:13,040 --> 00:37:15,759
Speaker 5: And if Trump can take this in the direction of

673
00:37:16,120 --> 00:37:19,400
Speaker 5: the Mullahs are gone, there's no nuke threat anymore, and

674
00:37:19,520 --> 00:37:22,200
Speaker 5: Iran is going to be a normal country. You know,

675
00:37:22,320 --> 00:37:24,359
Speaker 5: why can't Iran be a normal country? Think of how

676
00:37:24,360 --> 00:37:26,239
Speaker 5: many other countries there are around the world. Now, this

677
00:37:26,320 --> 00:37:28,040
Speaker 5: is the truth about America for all these people that

678
00:37:28,040 --> 00:37:30,640
Speaker 5: want to talk about imperialism, and look what we're doing.

679
00:37:30,719 --> 00:37:32,600
Speaker 5: And I know there's a lot of stuff out there

680
00:37:32,680 --> 00:37:37,239
Speaker 5: right now from the well sometimes there are principal non

681
00:37:37,280 --> 00:37:40,400
Speaker 5: interventionists and then there I hate America, So whenever America

682
00:37:40,440 --> 00:37:43,440
Speaker 5: does something, I just oppose it. People too, They're not

683
00:37:43,480 --> 00:37:45,440
Speaker 5: the same thing. There are people that just don't want

684
00:37:45,520 --> 00:37:48,000
Speaker 5: us getting involved they'd never want the Republican Democrat. They

685
00:37:48,000 --> 00:37:50,720
Speaker 5: don't want us getting involved other people's stuff find valid.

686
00:37:50,760 --> 00:37:53,960
Speaker 5: I understand that there are other people they congregate on

687
00:37:54,000 --> 00:37:56,400
Speaker 5: the left who just hate America, and this gives them

688
00:37:56,400 --> 00:37:58,200
Speaker 5: an opportunity to say that everything that goes wrong in

689
00:37:58,200 --> 00:38:01,799
Speaker 5: the world is America's fault. But the truth is, you know,

690
00:38:01,840 --> 00:38:04,600
Speaker 5: the people of Paraguay aren't up late at night wondering

691
00:38:04,760 --> 00:38:06,799
Speaker 5: if like America is going to invade or bomb them,

692
00:38:07,160 --> 00:38:10,480
Speaker 5: because they're a normal country that minds their own business

693
00:38:10,480 --> 00:38:13,280
Speaker 5: for the most part and is reasonable with their neighbors

694
00:38:13,320 --> 00:38:15,919
Speaker 5: and self governing. And that's great, and that's fine. Same

695
00:38:15,960 --> 00:38:18,719
Speaker 5: thing with Thailand, you know, same thing with go down

696
00:38:18,719 --> 00:38:21,080
Speaker 5: a list so many countries, and obviously you talk about

697
00:38:21,080 --> 00:38:23,640
Speaker 5: all these countries in Europe. We don't have to accept

698
00:38:23,640 --> 00:38:27,240
Speaker 5: that Iran just gets to be this hellhole of terror

699
00:38:27,280 --> 00:38:31,200
Speaker 5: and terror sponsoring and all this other stuff for all perpetuity,

700
00:38:32,200 --> 00:38:34,600
Speaker 5: because we actually don't have to accept that, and Trump

701
00:38:34,640 --> 00:38:39,040
Speaker 5: certainly doesn't. So I think that we are certainly living

702
00:38:39,040 --> 00:38:42,319
Speaker 5: in remarkable times. It's an exciting period of change. It's

703
00:38:42,360 --> 00:38:44,839
Speaker 5: also one of caution. As we noted, there have been

704
00:38:44,880 --> 00:38:47,960
Speaker 5: strikes against us Bass. We have lost brave service members.

705
00:38:48,000 --> 00:38:51,480
Speaker 5: There are going to be lives on our side lost

706
00:38:51,520 --> 00:38:55,080
Speaker 5: in this process. The question is how many. So that's

707
00:38:55,080 --> 00:38:57,759
Speaker 5: something else that we have to keep in mind too,

708
00:38:57,920 --> 00:39:03,040
Speaker 5: So Clay, I think time will tell whether or not

709
00:39:03,200 --> 00:39:07,960
Speaker 5: this is the most brilliant stroke of military slash diplomacy

710
00:39:08,120 --> 00:39:11,120
Speaker 5: of the Trump administration or if we are getting ahead

711
00:39:11,120 --> 00:39:11,960
Speaker 5: of our skis on this one.

712
00:39:11,960 --> 00:39:14,160
Speaker 2: But I'm feeling pretty good about it. Democrat.

713
00:39:14,800 --> 00:39:19,799
Speaker 5: The democrats criticism of it, to your point, is not

714
00:39:20,040 --> 00:39:22,520
Speaker 5: really much more than Trump is doing it, So it

715
00:39:22,560 --> 00:39:25,440
Speaker 5: has to be bad, and I really mean that that's it.

716
00:39:25,440 --> 00:39:27,920
Speaker 5: It doesn't go beyond that. There's not some grappling with

717
00:39:27,960 --> 00:39:31,840
Speaker 5: the intellectual realities of what Trump has done. And notice

718
00:39:31,840 --> 00:39:35,359
Speaker 5: that Democrats are perfectly happy to have ninety million Iranians

719
00:39:36,360 --> 00:39:42,839
Speaker 5: consigned to perpetual fear tyranny, and servitude to a theocracy

720
00:39:43,600 --> 00:39:46,719
Speaker 5: as long as it means that Donald Trump doesn't get

721
00:39:46,719 --> 00:39:49,600
Speaker 5: to get a win. Trump's arrangement syndrome is real.

722
00:39:51,160 --> 00:39:53,720
Speaker 1: I think this is important too, and we haven't really

723
00:39:53,760 --> 00:39:56,759
Speaker 1: talked about it very much for people out there who's

724
00:39:56,760 --> 00:39:59,520
Speaker 1: saying there's no real plan in place. Again, we don't

725
00:39:59,600 --> 00:40:02,400
Speaker 1: know who's going to rule. I am confident that Marco

726
00:40:02,480 --> 00:40:05,640
Speaker 1: Rubio and Pete hag Seth and Jade Vance and President

727
00:40:05,640 --> 00:40:09,680
Speaker 1: Trump have an idea on that. Also pay attention to

728
00:40:10,280 --> 00:40:14,800
Speaker 1: the fact that Iran is just haphazardly sending missiles all

729
00:40:14,920 --> 00:40:18,520
Speaker 1: over the Middle East and striking all these different Middle

730
00:40:18,640 --> 00:40:22,720
Speaker 1: Eastern countries, and those Middle Eastern countries by and large

731
00:40:22,840 --> 00:40:26,600
Speaker 1: are now allied with the United States. And I think

732
00:40:26,640 --> 00:40:30,200
Speaker 1: this is so supremely important. Saudi Arabia in particular, if

733
00:40:30,239 --> 00:40:32,600
Speaker 1: you go back and you say, why did why did

734
00:40:32,640 --> 00:40:36,240
Speaker 1: October seventh, twenty twenty three happen? Why did twelve hundred

735
00:40:36,400 --> 00:40:40,440
Speaker 1: innocent Israelis get murdered? Why we're over two hundred kidnapped

736
00:40:40,520 --> 00:40:44,640
Speaker 1: by Hamas? What was the intent there? They were terrified

737
00:40:44,680 --> 00:40:47,600
Speaker 1: that the Abraham Accords, which is a peace agreement, a

738
00:40:47,680 --> 00:40:53,000
Speaker 1: normalizing of relations, was going to expand and include Saudi Arabia,

739
00:40:53,400 --> 00:40:56,239
Speaker 1: Saudi Arabia and Israel. We're basically going to say, hey,

740
00:40:56,239 --> 00:40:58,840
Speaker 1: we're in favor of commerce, We're not going to allow

741
00:40:58,920 --> 00:41:01,400
Speaker 1: religious difference to divide us forever.

742
00:41:01,760 --> 00:41:05,160
Speaker 2: We want to see peace in the Middle East. And Iran, which.

743
00:41:05,000 --> 00:41:10,160
Speaker 1: Was funding Hamas, which was funding Hazbolah, which was funding

744
00:41:10,280 --> 00:41:13,960
Speaker 1: all of these different terror groups around the world that

745
00:41:14,000 --> 00:41:17,600
Speaker 1: were striking in Israel but also everywhere else. They said,

746
00:41:17,680 --> 00:41:19,879
Speaker 1: we can't allow this to happen. And that was one

747
00:41:20,000 --> 00:41:23,040
Speaker 1: of the reasons, primary reason I believe why Hamas attacked

748
00:41:23,040 --> 00:41:23,560
Speaker 1: when they did.

749
00:41:23,920 --> 00:41:24,960
Speaker 2: Now, what are you seeing?

750
00:41:25,360 --> 00:41:29,120
Speaker 1: All these different Middle Eastern countries are allowing the United

751
00:41:29,120 --> 00:41:32,880
Speaker 1: States and Israel to use their airspace to be able

752
00:41:32,920 --> 00:41:35,719
Speaker 1: to rain down Holy Hell on Iran. And there are

753
00:41:35,800 --> 00:41:38,399
Speaker 1: reports out there, and that is what we always said,

754
00:41:38,440 --> 00:41:41,879
Speaker 1: pay attention not to what people say, but that what

755
00:41:41,960 --> 00:41:47,200
Speaker 1: they do. That both Saudi Arabia and Israel were encouraging

756
00:41:47,320 --> 00:41:52,440
Speaker 1: President Trump to take out this Islamic leadership in Iran.

757
00:41:53,239 --> 00:41:57,080
Speaker 1: Saudi Arabia couldn't say it publicly. Now that Iran has

758
00:41:57,120 --> 00:41:59,640
Speaker 1: attacked them, a lot of these other countries have now

759
00:41:59,640 --> 00:42:02,839
Speaker 1: come and condemned Iranian action. And let me read you

760
00:42:02,880 --> 00:42:06,360
Speaker 1: one comment. Well, we've got a bunch of callers. Everything else,

761
00:42:07,520 --> 00:42:11,040
Speaker 1: but buck. I've got a friend, Jamie Chadwell is the

762
00:42:11,080 --> 00:42:15,000
Speaker 1: head coach of Liberty Football. His wife is Iranian, and

763
00:42:15,040 --> 00:42:17,280
Speaker 1: she just posted something that I thought was really good.

764
00:42:17,640 --> 00:42:21,480
Speaker 1: He tagged me in it on social media.

765
00:42:22,080 --> 00:42:22,600
Speaker 2: He said.

766
00:42:24,120 --> 00:42:27,239
Speaker 1: People have been inquiring about our feelings about what's going

767
00:42:27,280 --> 00:42:30,840
Speaker 1: on in Iran. Here's what she said. Honestly, I don't

768
00:42:30,840 --> 00:42:33,879
Speaker 1: have enough words to describe what it means to us,

769
00:42:34,000 --> 00:42:38,080
Speaker 1: as well as millions of Persians who sacrificed everything to

770
00:42:38,160 --> 00:42:41,960
Speaker 1: flee the harshness of the regime. My parents were crying

771
00:42:42,040 --> 00:42:46,080
Speaker 1: tears of joy on Saturday. Persians all over the world

772
00:42:46,200 --> 00:42:49,000
Speaker 1: are breathing a sigh of relief for the first time

773
00:42:49,239 --> 00:42:52,680
Speaker 1: in forty seven years. It's not tears of joy over

774
00:42:52,760 --> 00:42:55,760
Speaker 1: a war. These are tiers of hope and a future

775
00:42:55,800 --> 00:42:58,439
Speaker 1: for the nation and the people of Iran. It's about

776
00:42:58,520 --> 00:43:01,959
Speaker 1: having solace. It's declared ring justice for the thousands upon

777
00:43:02,040 --> 00:43:06,760
Speaker 1: thousands of innocent people the Islamic regime has imprisoned, falsely accused,

778
00:43:06,800 --> 00:43:07,320
Speaker 1: and killed.

779
00:43:07,680 --> 00:43:08,239
Speaker 2: It's for the.

780
00:43:08,239 --> 00:43:11,160
Speaker 1: Parents who had to search through hundreds of body bags

781
00:43:11,480 --> 00:43:15,760
Speaker 1: laying in a yard justifying their deceased child brutally murdered

782
00:43:15,800 --> 00:43:18,440
Speaker 1: for only wanting to voice their opinion, to dance in

783
00:43:18,480 --> 00:43:21,279
Speaker 1: the streets, to not have to cover their hair, For

784
00:43:21,400 --> 00:43:24,600
Speaker 1: the child who wanted a future for freedom. Please don't

785
00:43:24,640 --> 00:43:27,040
Speaker 1: ever take your freedoms here in the US for granted

786
00:43:27,400 --> 00:43:30,800
Speaker 1: I never understood how people here could despise the US

787
00:43:30,880 --> 00:43:33,400
Speaker 1: so much, how they could burn the flag, how they

788
00:43:33,440 --> 00:43:36,560
Speaker 1: could protest against the United States everything that has been

789
00:43:36,600 --> 00:43:39,600
Speaker 1: given to them. I guess because they never had to

790
00:43:39,680 --> 00:43:44,040
Speaker 1: live a life that took all those freedoms away. Signed

791
00:43:44,160 --> 00:43:48,520
Speaker 1: a hopeful and grateful Persian American. I thought that was

792
00:43:48,560 --> 00:43:52,239
Speaker 1: well said, because I think that is the immense outpouring

793
00:43:52,280 --> 00:43:54,920
Speaker 1: of joy that you are seeing, and it goes to

794
00:43:55,239 --> 00:43:57,479
Speaker 1: I don't see how you can make this political buck.

795
00:43:57,520 --> 00:44:00,880
Speaker 1: When I watched in Georgetown all of these Iranian people,

796
00:44:00,920 --> 00:44:03,600
Speaker 1: when I watched outside of the White House, the pure

797
00:44:03,680 --> 00:44:07,000
Speaker 1: joy of their celebration. When I watched it in La,

798
00:44:07,120 --> 00:44:09,439
Speaker 1: they shut down Wilshire Boulevard, for those of you who

799
00:44:09,440 --> 00:44:14,239
Speaker 1: know La, filled with a huge, joyful Iranian march in

800
00:44:14,320 --> 00:44:17,520
Speaker 1: favor of freedom that they want to see in their country.

801
00:44:17,680 --> 00:44:20,839
Speaker 1: When I saw in New York City, the people who

802
00:44:20,880 --> 00:44:23,520
Speaker 1: have dealt with actual oppression, the people who have dealt

803
00:44:23,560 --> 00:44:26,320
Speaker 1: with the taking away of their basic human rights, the

804
00:44:26,320 --> 00:44:29,440
Speaker 1: people who have struggled for fifty years living under this harsh,

805
00:44:29,480 --> 00:44:35,839
Speaker 1: oppressive regime. They understand what has been done here, and

806
00:44:35,920 --> 00:44:39,520
Speaker 1: they view President Trump as a heroic force for good

807
00:44:40,040 --> 00:44:42,640
Speaker 1: in the Middle East, and I think that is something

808
00:44:42,680 --> 00:44:44,959
Speaker 1: that it's going to be very hard. If we can

809
00:44:45,239 --> 00:44:48,680
Speaker 1: manage to change the trajectory of this country in the

810
00:44:48,680 --> 00:44:52,640
Speaker 1: direction of basic human rights and freedom. It's a transformative

811
00:44:52,680 --> 00:44:56,319
Speaker 1: move that will echo throughout the Middle East for generations

812
00:44:56,360 --> 00:44:59,400
Speaker 1: to come. So are their challenges, yes, but I do

813
00:44:59,480 --> 00:45:02,799
Speaker 1: think that's really that got to the heart of what

814
00:45:02,840 --> 00:45:05,800
Speaker 1: we're seeing from so many Persians around the world.

815
00:45:06,400 --> 00:45:09,759
Speaker 2: And think about this too, Clay, what was the alternative?

816
00:45:10,239 --> 00:45:14,719
Speaker 5: Yeah, the alternative is to keep this dance of bad

817
00:45:14,760 --> 00:45:19,520
Speaker 5: faith negotiations from the Iranian Mulla's side going until they

818
00:45:19,520 --> 00:45:21,200
Speaker 5: get a nuke or until we get tired of it

819
00:45:21,239 --> 00:45:23,920
Speaker 5: and decide to do what we did. And it's not

820
00:45:24,160 --> 00:45:27,080
Speaker 5: like things were fine and quiet over there. They have

821
00:45:27,200 --> 00:45:31,680
Speaker 5: been causing problems all over the region. That's what they do.

822
00:45:32,360 --> 00:45:35,960
Speaker 5: They believe in this, you know, it's the Islamic Revolution

823
00:45:36,239 --> 00:45:39,920
Speaker 5: that they think they are the custodians of. It's a

824
00:45:39,960 --> 00:45:42,680
Speaker 5: revolutionary government, the same way that the Bolsheviks and the

825
00:45:42,719 --> 00:45:47,000
Speaker 5: Soviet Union thought of themselves as revolutionaries with global ambitions.

826
00:45:47,000 --> 00:45:51,080
Speaker 5: I might add, they were colonialists in their mindset. Actually,

827
00:45:51,160 --> 00:45:55,080
Speaker 5: they wanted to expand their authority and their power in

828
00:45:55,080 --> 00:45:58,520
Speaker 5: the region. They were not looking to mind their own business,

829
00:45:58,840 --> 00:46:01,080
Speaker 5: and they wanted to do it wipe Israel off the map,

830
00:46:01,560 --> 00:46:04,399
Speaker 5: and that was a stated goal of the regime. If

831
00:46:04,400 --> 00:46:07,800
Speaker 5: the stated goal of your country is to destroy another country,

832
00:46:08,120 --> 00:46:11,520
Speaker 5: maybe you don't get to be in charge of a country.

833
00:46:12,560 --> 00:46:15,960
Speaker 1: And there's a great line, great line from Pete Hegseth

834
00:46:16,000 --> 00:46:18,960
Speaker 1: where he said they chanted death to America and death

835
00:46:19,000 --> 00:46:23,439
Speaker 1: to Israel, and Israel and the United States instead brought

836
00:46:23,560 --> 00:46:25,560
Speaker 1: death to the Ayah toola h.

837
00:46:26,680 --> 00:46:29,239
Speaker 5: My line was good. Deadline's cold. That line's a good line.

838
00:46:29,280 --> 00:46:33,839
Speaker 5: It's secretary war getting cold, all right. There will be

839

Speaker 1: joined now by one of the three Republicans who is

866
00:47:58,400 --> 00:48:02,000
Speaker 1: running for the Senate nomination in the state of Texas.

Speaker 1: Tomorrow is election day, primary voting taking place in Texas, Arkansas,

Speaker 1: and North Carolina. Ken Paxton joins us. Now, I know

00:48:11,560 --> 00:48:15,040
Speaker 1: you've been running all over the state. What is your

870
00:48:15,120 --> 00:48:19,000
Speaker 1: message here closing moments? As many people will be going

871
00:48:19,040 --> 00:48:20,680
Speaker 1: to the polls tomorrow. I know a lot of people

872
00:48:20,680 --> 00:48:24,839
Speaker 1: have already early voted. Why should they vote for you tomorrow,

873
00:48:25,480 --> 00:48:26,760
Speaker 1: Attorney General Paxton?

874
00:48:27,560 --> 00:48:30,919
Speaker 8: It's simply this, get it. I get results versus John

875
00:48:31,000 --> 00:48:33,239
Speaker 8: Corny in the last forty years in office. And I've

876
00:48:33,280 --> 00:48:36,280
Speaker 8: asked in every meeting today, PLI eight. I've asked every

877
00:48:36,400 --> 00:48:39,799
Speaker 8: single person, whether it's one person or three thousand, can

878
00:48:39,880 --> 00:48:43,120
Speaker 8: you name one single good accomplishment of John Cornon at

879
00:48:43,160 --> 00:48:45,919
Speaker 8: forty plus years in office? And no one's ever given

880
00:48:45,960 --> 00:48:48,879
Speaker 8: me an answer. And I respond to say, take any

881
00:48:48,880 --> 00:48:51,400
Speaker 8: two week period of my office, my time in office

882
00:48:51,400 --> 00:48:55,040
Speaker 8: as Attorney General other than Christmas and Thanksgiving, and I

883
00:48:55,040 --> 00:48:56,880
Speaker 8: guarantee you pick any two weeks. I've done more in

884
00:48:56,920 --> 00:48:59,080
Speaker 8: two weeks of these been in forty plus years. If

885
00:48:59,080 --> 00:49:00,440
Speaker 8: we want somebody to go up to and fight for

886
00:49:00,520 --> 00:49:03,359
Speaker 8: us to get stuff something done for the state of Texas,

887
00:49:03,560 --> 00:49:04,280
Speaker 8: I'm the guy.

888
00:49:04,960 --> 00:49:07,719
Speaker 5: Mister journey General. What's top of the agenda. You're telling

889
00:49:07,800 --> 00:49:10,840
Speaker 5: us that you can get things done. That's great. What

890
00:49:10,960 --> 00:49:13,719
Speaker 5: are the kind of things that as a senator representing

891
00:49:14,120 --> 00:49:16,200
Speaker 5: the wonderful state of Texas, where we have so many

892
00:49:16,200 --> 00:49:18,360
Speaker 5: listeners and we're very grateful for all of them, what

893
00:49:18,440 --> 00:49:21,320
Speaker 5: are the things that you would want to seek to

894
00:49:21,800 --> 00:49:24,640
Speaker 5: add to your roster of accomplishments in office as a

895
00:49:24,680 --> 00:49:25,840
Speaker 5: senator this time around.

896
00:49:26,680 --> 00:49:30,200
Speaker 8: Yeah, so, I think President Trump hit it over the fense.

897
00:49:30,440 --> 00:49:33,719
Speaker 8: He hit the most important issue which he asked Congress

898
00:49:33,760 --> 00:49:36,600
Speaker 8: to pass immediately, which was the voter integrity where we

899
00:49:37,320 --> 00:49:41,040
Speaker 8: protect our elections from mail in ballots. We have photo ID,

900
00:49:42,040 --> 00:49:44,640
Speaker 8: and we make sure that people are citizens. If we

901
00:49:44,760 --> 00:49:47,799
Speaker 8: can't fundamentally do that, then we are at risk of

902
00:49:47,840 --> 00:49:51,200
Speaker 8: losing everything else because there are many many states who

903
00:49:51,200 --> 00:49:53,759
Speaker 8: are not using photo ID, who are having massive mail

904
00:49:53,800 --> 00:49:56,680
Speaker 8: in ballots and we cannot track, and we don't have

905
00:49:56,719 --> 00:50:00,839
Speaker 8: secure elections. Without that, nothing else matters. That I mean,

906
00:50:01,239 --> 00:50:03,439
Speaker 8: since John Corny has been there, Let's see the time

907
00:50:03,440 --> 00:50:05,439
Speaker 8: of George Washington, the time of John Corny is six

908
00:50:05,440 --> 00:50:08,560
Speaker 8: point two trillion of debt. Now we're thirty eight trillion

909
00:50:08,600 --> 00:50:11,920
Speaker 8: since John's been there. The federal budget is out of control.

910
00:50:12,200 --> 00:50:14,799
Speaker 8: We've got to figure that out. I'm very interested in

911
00:50:14,800 --> 00:50:17,399
Speaker 8: what's going on with China. I think they are number

912
00:50:17,400 --> 00:50:21,480
Speaker 8: one threat. Obviously, we've got a ram right now interested

913
00:50:21,480 --> 00:50:24,200
Speaker 8: in judicial appointments because I have to deal with them

914
00:50:24,239 --> 00:50:27,640
Speaker 8: every day. Ted Cruz has done a great job helping

915
00:50:27,640 --> 00:50:30,080
Speaker 8: the President to make good picks. On the other hand,

916
00:50:30,160 --> 00:50:32,120
Speaker 8: John corn has picked about that's so great. So those

917
00:50:32,120 --> 00:50:34,439
Speaker 8: are just a few of the issues that I care about.

918
00:50:34,480 --> 00:50:35,400
Speaker 8: There's certainly more than that.

919
00:50:36,640 --> 00:50:39,560
Speaker 1: We're talking to Ken Paxton, Attorney General of Texas. He's

920
00:50:39,640 --> 00:50:43,360
Speaker 1: running tomorrow in the primary. Let me give you a

921
00:50:43,400 --> 00:50:46,319
Speaker 1: couple of arguments to respond to we've had on the

922
00:50:46,320 --> 00:50:49,279
Speaker 1: show so far. One is Ken Paxton can't win in

923
00:50:49,320 --> 00:50:53,759
Speaker 1: the general. The other is people should go vote for

924
00:50:54,080 --> 00:50:59,359
Speaker 1: Jasmine Crockett instead of worrying about the Republican Senate race

925
00:50:59,440 --> 00:51:02,640
Speaker 1: that's going on. Your response to those two, which are

926
00:51:02,640 --> 00:51:06,520
Speaker 1: two different arguments we've had made today on the show, Well.

927
00:51:06,320 --> 00:51:08,640
Speaker 8: First of all, I think it's interesting that this is

928
00:51:08,640 --> 00:51:10,840
Speaker 8: a John Cornett argument because we can't win the primary.

929
00:51:11,360 --> 00:51:13,800
Speaker 8: I've won three state wide races over a period of

930
00:51:13,840 --> 00:51:17,719
Speaker 8: twelve years, so the naysayers I'm three and oher, I

931
00:51:17,760 --> 00:51:20,719
Speaker 8: haven't lost a single race. As a better fact, I've

932
00:51:20,719 --> 00:51:23,839
Speaker 8: won eighteen races overall. So it's great to decide now

933
00:51:23,880 --> 00:51:26,200
Speaker 8: that I can't win a state wide race when I've

934
00:51:26,200 --> 00:51:29,000
Speaker 8: won three in a row. There's no evidence for this.

935
00:51:29,120 --> 00:51:31,279
Speaker 8: John Corny makes this story up, just like he's made

936
00:51:31,320 --> 00:51:33,799
Speaker 8: up his own record over the last year. And the

937
00:51:33,840 --> 00:51:36,840
Speaker 8: reality is, if you actually do the polling, which I've seen,

938
00:51:37,360 --> 00:51:40,600
Speaker 8: I do as well or better than him, not significantly,

939
00:51:40,640 --> 00:51:43,319
Speaker 8: but it's not like I do worse. I've every poll

940
00:51:43,360 --> 00:51:45,399
Speaker 8: I've seen I've done is well or better than him.

941
00:51:45,440 --> 00:51:48,319
Speaker 8: So and this idea that Republicans should go vote for

942
00:51:48,440 --> 00:51:51,759
Speaker 8: Jasmin Crockett, I mean I wouldn't do it because I

943
00:51:51,800 --> 00:51:53,600
Speaker 8: want to make sure that we have the right person

944
00:51:53,680 --> 00:51:56,520
Speaker 8: running in the Republican primary to take on the jas

945
00:51:56,560 --> 00:51:59,080
Speaker 8: and the Crockett. Let the Democrats sort that out. We're

946
00:51:59,120 --> 00:52:02,120
Speaker 8: going to be either one of them, because we're still

947
00:52:02,160 --> 00:52:04,480
Speaker 8: a Republican state. We haven't lost the statewide elections in

948
00:52:04,560 --> 00:52:05,359
Speaker 8: thankty ninety four.

949
00:52:06,120 --> 00:52:08,480
Speaker 5: And just be clear, we had invited on Corny and

950
00:52:08,520 --> 00:52:11,960
Speaker 5: everyone for tomorrow, and we'll see if he chooses to

951
00:52:11,960 --> 00:52:13,760
Speaker 5: come on at some point here in the near future.

952
00:52:14,560 --> 00:52:19,520
Speaker 5: But Attorney General Paxton, what's the on policy?

953
00:52:19,560 --> 00:52:19,719
Speaker 2: You know?

954
00:52:19,840 --> 00:52:21,360
Speaker 5: I don't know if you guys know each other, you

955
00:52:21,400 --> 00:52:24,000
Speaker 5: and Cornant or not personally. Well, it's not about that

956
00:52:24,400 --> 00:52:28,120
Speaker 5: on policy, on decision making, when it comes to wielding

957
00:52:28,160 --> 00:52:30,919
Speaker 5: the power and trusted to you as a senator by

958
00:52:30,960 --> 00:52:34,319
Speaker 5: the people of Texas. Where are you, guys different? Where

959
00:52:34,320 --> 00:52:37,480
Speaker 5: do you differ ideologically or where do you differ when

960
00:52:37,480 --> 00:52:40,200
Speaker 5: it comes to how you would actually vote?

961
00:52:40,880 --> 00:52:43,320
Speaker 8: I think on many things I give you example, the judges,

962
00:52:43,400 --> 00:52:46,480
Speaker 8: the budget, but just things like Second Amendment issues, where

963
00:52:46,520 --> 00:52:49,319
Speaker 8: he helped Joe Biden pass one of the most restrictive

964
00:52:49,360 --> 00:52:53,840
Speaker 8: Second Amendment bills in my lifetime. There's no way that

965
00:52:53,920 --> 00:52:56,040
Speaker 8: Joe Biden's going to be congratulating me like you did,

966
00:52:56,080 --> 00:52:58,960
Speaker 8: John Cornan. I would not be out there pushing amnesty

967
00:52:59,040 --> 00:53:01,360
Speaker 8: like he's been pushing over the US for the decade.

968
00:53:01,560 --> 00:53:04,680
Speaker 8: I would have been for the borderwall. Now he suddenly is,

969
00:53:04,760 --> 00:53:07,719
Speaker 8: but he wasn't for a decade. I've got fifteen to

970
00:53:07,760 --> 00:53:10,600
Speaker 8: twenty clips of him saying we shouldn't do a borderwall.

971
00:53:11,000 --> 00:53:13,000
Speaker 8: On the other hand, he also claims to be a

972
00:53:13,000 --> 00:53:16,080
Speaker 8: big Trump fan, and yet in twenty sixteen he said

973
00:53:16,120 --> 00:53:18,400
Speaker 8: Trump was an Alba Trust runner neck and then in

974
00:53:18,440 --> 00:53:21,200
Speaker 8: the most recent election he said that Trump's day had

975
00:53:21,280 --> 00:53:24,440
Speaker 8: passed and that we should elect somebody else. I was

976
00:53:24,520 --> 00:53:26,399
Speaker 8: on the Trump dand wagon because I thought he would

977
00:53:26,400 --> 00:53:30,239
Speaker 8: be the best choice. This guy now suddenly is. But

978
00:53:30,440 --> 00:53:33,880
Speaker 8: for his entire career he's been in opposition to Donald Trump.

979
00:53:34,560 --> 00:53:37,240
Speaker 1: We're talking to Ken Paxon ag. I know you're running

980
00:53:37,280 --> 00:53:39,800
Speaker 1: for the Senate right now. But there was the attack

981
00:53:39,880 --> 00:53:43,399
Speaker 1: that happened in Austin over the weekend. I know there's

982
00:53:43,440 --> 00:53:46,879
Speaker 1: been a couple of press conferences about that. What can

983
00:53:46,920 --> 00:53:48,680
Speaker 1: you tell us about that shooting?

984
00:53:48,760 --> 00:53:49,759
Speaker 2: What do we need to know?

985
00:53:49,840 --> 00:53:54,319
Speaker 1: What should we know from a Texan perspective on that investigation.

986
00:53:55,120 --> 00:53:57,440
Speaker 8: I think the most important thing to me is just

987
00:53:57,560 --> 00:54:01,080
Speaker 8: what the investigation turns up about connection and whether this

988
00:54:01,160 --> 00:54:03,799
Speaker 8: guy was operating alone or whether he was part of

989
00:54:03,800 --> 00:54:07,239
Speaker 8: a bigger plan to do damage in this country. I've

990
00:54:07,239 --> 00:54:09,720
Speaker 8: been concerned, you know, of course, I see Joe Biden

991
00:54:09,960 --> 00:54:14,240
Speaker 8: twenty times. It's just over immigration, and my biggest concern

992
00:54:14,400 --> 00:54:17,240
Speaker 8: was this type of thing happening. We opened up our border,

993
00:54:17,640 --> 00:54:19,840
Speaker 8: we would not field of bet people, we'd not build

994
00:54:19,840 --> 00:54:23,400
Speaker 8: of control. And obviously this guy got his citizenship legally.

995
00:54:23,719 --> 00:54:26,520
Speaker 8: But it's now a bigger problem than ever because we

996
00:54:26,560 --> 00:54:29,720
Speaker 8: have so many unvetted people, we don't know where they are.

997
00:54:30,120 --> 00:54:33,720
Speaker 8: And if I'm an American enemy, for sure, I've planned

998
00:54:33,719 --> 00:54:35,680
Speaker 8: to sleep and sleeper cells in the country.

999
00:54:37,480 --> 00:54:41,920
Speaker 5: It's certainly very concerning given what we just saw in

1000
00:54:42,040 --> 00:54:46,000
Speaker 5: Austin that there are likely more radicals who will be

1001
00:54:46,080 --> 00:54:51,160
Speaker 5: activated from within our midst It seems like the Democrats

1002
00:54:51,200 --> 00:54:54,080
Speaker 5: are just never going to learn the lesson on this.

1003
00:54:54,200 --> 00:54:57,480
Speaker 5: They're never going to understand what that threat actually is

1004
00:54:57,520 --> 00:54:59,839
Speaker 5: in this country. Is there anything that you think needs

1005
00:54:59,840 --> 00:55:03,759
Speaker 5: to be done legislatively differently to address this? Is there

1006
00:55:03,760 --> 00:55:06,560
Speaker 5: anything that you would say, hey, guys, something that would

1007
00:55:06,600 --> 00:55:09,360
Speaker 5: make us safer here at home that we could enact

1008
00:55:09,440 --> 00:55:11,560
Speaker 5: starting in twenty twenty seven when I'm in the United

1009
00:55:11,560 --> 00:55:14,360
Speaker 5: States Senate, Is anything come to mind? Or is it

1010
00:55:14,480 --> 00:55:16,360
Speaker 5: just enforced the laws we've already got.

1011
00:55:16,480 --> 00:55:21,040
Speaker 8: Well enforce laws already have, but also more resources to

1012
00:55:21,080 --> 00:55:23,200
Speaker 8: start vetting some of these people that came into our

1013
00:55:23,239 --> 00:55:25,759
Speaker 8: country that we haven't tracked down yet that we need

1014
00:55:25,800 --> 00:55:29,279
Speaker 8: to track down for sure, people like this who could

1015
00:55:29,320 --> 00:55:32,000
Speaker 8: do damage to our country. So I would say, more

1016
00:55:32,040 --> 00:55:35,640
Speaker 8: resources to the people that are dealing with the DHS,

1017
00:55:35,680 --> 00:55:38,920
Speaker 8: the border, controlling the people that the Democrats don't want

1018
00:55:38,920 --> 00:55:41,360
Speaker 8: a fund. Are the very people right now that we

1019
00:55:41,440 --> 00:55:43,600
Speaker 8: need not just less funny, we need more funny.

1020
00:55:45,200 --> 00:55:47,200
Speaker 1: It seems clear that you're going to be at least

1021
00:55:47,280 --> 00:55:49,920
Speaker 1: one of the two that advances to the runoff, and

1022
00:55:49,960 --> 00:55:53,840
Speaker 1: we're talking to Ken Paxton. I know that early voting

1023
00:55:53,960 --> 00:55:56,759
Speaker 1: has been substantial and a lot of people still have

1024
00:55:56,840 --> 00:56:02,000
Speaker 1: to vote tomorrow. What is your anticipation for what will

1025
00:56:02,000 --> 00:56:05,040
Speaker 1: take place tomorrow? There's three primary candidates, one of you

1026
00:56:05,120 --> 00:56:07,640
Speaker 1: will be eliminated. Do you expect that you'll be among

1027
00:56:07,719 --> 00:56:08,319
Speaker 1: the top two.

1028
00:56:09,480 --> 00:56:11,520
Speaker 8: I expect I'll be the number one, and as a

1029
00:56:11,560 --> 00:56:14,480
Speaker 8: matter of fact that I don't know. It's hard to

1030
00:56:14,520 --> 00:56:17,440
Speaker 8: measure it from early buddy, but just some of our analytics,

1031
00:56:17,800 --> 00:56:21,759
Speaker 8: I mean, there is a slight possibility. Obviously there's not

1032
00:56:21,880 --> 00:56:24,920
Speaker 8: just two other people. Rights still of seven others, so

1033
00:56:24,960 --> 00:56:27,600
Speaker 8: there's eight people. So I tell people it's like playing

1034
00:56:27,640 --> 00:56:30,560
Speaker 8: basketball seven on one, trying to outscore everybody. Well, they

1035
00:56:30,640 --> 00:56:34,040
Speaker 8: play offense and defense, so it's challenging to get to

1036
00:56:35,080 --> 00:56:37,200
Speaker 8: get to get through this without a run up. But

1037
00:56:37,239 --> 00:56:38,920
Speaker 8: if anybody has a shot at that, it's me.

1038
00:56:40,280 --> 00:56:43,839
Speaker 1: If you are first place run off, I mean it's

1039
00:56:43,880 --> 00:56:47,320
Speaker 1: gonna cost a lot of money if you win substantially.

1040
00:56:47,600 --> 00:56:49,960
Speaker 1: Should there be just a recognition that you're going to

1041
00:56:50,000 --> 00:56:52,080
Speaker 1: be the nominee and start to focus because it does

1042
00:56:52,120 --> 00:56:56,759
Speaker 1: seem likely that Democrats will know their nominee come tomorrow night.

1043
00:56:57,800 --> 00:57:01,200
Speaker 8: Yes, and I say this because Corny's about one hundred

1044
00:57:01,239 --> 00:57:04,160
Speaker 8: million dollars. I've spent three million, and if I come

1045
00:57:04,200 --> 00:57:07,200
Speaker 8: out on top, that's spending on his side needs to stop.

1046
00:57:07,440 --> 00:57:10,000
Speaker 8: It makes no sense if we care about electing a

1047
00:57:10,040 --> 00:57:14,040
Speaker 8: Republican from Texas and Republicans in Michigan and Georgia and

1048
00:57:14,080 --> 00:57:16,040
Speaker 8: these other states. They got to stop wasting money out

1049
00:57:16,040 --> 00:57:18,800
Speaker 8: of primary one hundred millions enough. Do not go in

1050
00:57:18,840 --> 00:57:22,360
Speaker 8: on another fifty million dollars to try to make me unelectable,

1051
00:57:22,400 --> 00:57:24,160
Speaker 8: which is what Corner has said. His goal is make

1052
00:57:24,240 --> 00:57:27,160
Speaker 8: I'm gonna make Ken Paxton unelectable. Well, that is that's

1053
00:57:27,200 --> 00:57:29,240
Speaker 8: great if we only care about electing incumbents. But I

1054
00:57:29,240 --> 00:57:32,400
Speaker 8: thought we were about electing Republicans, and the strategy of

1055
00:57:32,440 --> 00:57:35,160
Speaker 8: spending another fifty million on John corn after he loses

1056
00:57:35,520 --> 00:57:38,640
Speaker 8: the first round makes no sense if you actually do

1057
00:57:38,720 --> 00:57:40,120
Speaker 8: care about electing Republicans.

1058
00:57:40,520 --> 00:57:43,560
Speaker 1: Do you think if you win this primary that President

1059
00:57:43,560 --> 00:57:46,080
Speaker 1: Trump had a rally and Corpus Christy going into the

1060
00:57:46,160 --> 00:57:48,720
Speaker 1: weekend and he chose I think he basically said, I'm

1061
00:57:48,760 --> 00:57:51,600
Speaker 1: endorsing you and Wesley Hunt and John Cornan. He said,

1062
00:57:51,640 --> 00:57:54,120
Speaker 1: you know, basically, I'm not picking a side. Do you

1063
00:57:54,160 --> 00:57:57,120
Speaker 1: think when he sees the Texans come out and pick

1064
00:57:57,160 --> 00:57:59,320
Speaker 1: a side, do you think he'll weigh in and say, hey,

1065
00:57:59,360 --> 00:58:01,920
Speaker 1: we basically have our nominee. Now, what do you anticipate

1066
00:58:01,920 --> 00:58:02,640
Speaker 1: from the White House?

1067
00:58:03,040 --> 00:58:06,320
Speaker 8: Well, you're gonna be shocked. I never completely anticipate what

1068
00:58:06,360 --> 00:58:08,960
Speaker 8: the President might do. I do know this. I've been

1069
00:58:08,960 --> 00:58:11,040
Speaker 8: a big thing of his. I have been a supporter

1070
00:58:11,080 --> 00:58:14,000
Speaker 8: of his. In twenty sixteen, I was one of two

1071
00:58:14,080 --> 00:58:15,959
Speaker 8: people Troy Nelson and I were the only two people

1072
00:58:16,000 --> 00:58:20,280
Speaker 8: that showed up elected officials winning announced for president because

1073
00:58:20,360 --> 00:58:23,720
Speaker 8: at the time the chantus was surging and Trump had

1074
00:58:23,720 --> 00:58:26,840
Speaker 8: all these investigations and indict mis all this stuff. But

1075
00:58:26,920 --> 00:58:29,560
Speaker 8: I do know this, I trust him. He's made a

1076
00:58:29,560 --> 00:58:32,320
Speaker 8: lot of really good decisions. And I'm not going to

1077
00:58:32,800 --> 00:58:34,880
Speaker 8: pretend that I would know exactly what he's going to do,

1078
00:58:34,920 --> 00:58:35,479
Speaker 8: because I don't.

1079
00:58:36,760 --> 00:58:41,200
Speaker 1: He is running for Senate tomorrow. Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton.

1080
00:58:41,280 --> 00:58:43,560
Speaker 1: I presume you tell everybody get out and vote, you

1081
00:58:43,560 --> 00:58:44,120
Speaker 1: want big.

1082
00:58:44,040 --> 00:58:46,040
Speaker 2: Numbers, Well, i'd say get in.

1083
00:58:47,240 --> 00:58:49,640
Speaker 1: I think we lost him right there on the charge

1084
00:58:49,720 --> 00:58:51,640
Speaker 1: for everybody who I'm sure he was going to say,

1085
00:58:51,680 --> 00:58:54,160
