1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,360 Speaker 1: Welcome to today's edition of the Clay Travis and Buck 2 00:00:03,400 --> 00:00:08,440 Speaker 1: Sexton Show podcast. Welcome in out number two Monday edition, 3 00:00:08,720 --> 00:00:14,040 Speaker 1: Clay Travis Buck Sexton Show. Heads Up, Heads Up. Buck 4 00:00:14,040 --> 00:00:16,759 Speaker 1: has got a puppy in his lap. So if you 5 00:00:16,960 --> 00:00:22,040 Speaker 1: hear a puppy chirping, it is not someone being held 6 00:00:22,160 --> 00:00:26,840 Speaker 1: hostage by either Buck or myself. It's not a child 7 00:00:26,920 --> 00:00:29,280 Speaker 1: in danger. You don't have to look over your shoulder 8 00:00:29,280 --> 00:00:30,920 Speaker 1: and be like, wait a minute, is that the kid 9 00:00:30,920 --> 00:00:33,160 Speaker 1: in my car seat? Is that my dog? Is something 10 00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:38,200 Speaker 1: going on? No, Carrie is out an in studio with him. 11 00:00:38,240 --> 00:00:43,279 Speaker 1: Buck has a three month old puppy that that may 12 00:00:43,320 --> 00:00:46,880 Speaker 1: be chirping during the course of the show. So just FYI, 13 00:00:47,240 --> 00:00:49,560 Speaker 1: major housekeeping announced. 14 00:00:49,560 --> 00:00:53,479 Speaker 2: She is here. Yeah, she is super cute, as she's fine, 15 00:00:53,920 --> 00:00:56,880 Speaker 2: but we've reached the point here where the puppy knows 16 00:00:57,000 --> 00:01:00,360 Speaker 2: based on the clothing that I put on or Kerrie 17 00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:04,000 Speaker 2: puts on, whether it's outside time or not. Like the 18 00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:06,920 Speaker 2: second she sees sneakers getting laced up, she goes to 19 00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:09,400 Speaker 2: the front door. She freaks out, and so she's gotten 20 00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:11,920 Speaker 2: very smart. But yes, we will try to keep her 21 00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:15,080 Speaker 2: yelping to a minimum. Her cuteness is such that she 22 00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:17,440 Speaker 2: thinks she can get away with anything, and unfortunately that 23 00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:19,920 Speaker 2: is largely true. Well, we are trying to train her now. 24 00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:21,520 Speaker 2: But we have politics to discuss. 25 00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:25,360 Speaker 1: We do have politics to things that DeSantis said that 26 00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:29,640 Speaker 1: we're very interesting in that interview we just did. And 27 00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:32,600 Speaker 1: let me give you a couple of polls that drop today, 28 00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:35,480 Speaker 1: because I do think they're significant if you're paying attention 29 00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:38,680 Speaker 1: out there that we asked him about it. Buck did 30 00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:43,320 Speaker 1: right off the top a des Moines Register NBC News poll. 31 00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:45,680 Speaker 2: But if you have not seen this came out early 32 00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:46,319 Speaker 2: this morning. 33 00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:54,000 Speaker 1: Trump fifty one percent, DeSantis nineteen percent, Nicky Hayley sixteen percent, 34 00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:58,720 Speaker 1: and then Vivek Ramaswami five Chris Christy four big drop 35 00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:03,800 Speaker 1: offs there. Trump now over fifty percent, up eight points 36 00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:07,400 Speaker 1: since the last poll they did in late October. DeSantis 37 00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:11,560 Speaker 1: up three, Nikki Haley not moving, the acup one not 38 00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:15,640 Speaker 1: moving up. So really Trump the biggest mover in that poll. 39 00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:19,560 Speaker 1: So I think that's wor're factoring in. Also, there is 40 00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:24,680 Speaker 1: yet another poll from Michigan, this one from CNN. It 41 00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:29,640 Speaker 1: has Trump up fifty to forty, a ten point lead 42 00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:34,320 Speaker 1: for Donald Trump in Michigan head to head against Joe Biden. 43 00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:39,240 Speaker 1: Per The New York Times, now also Trump up five 44 00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:44,519 Speaker 1: in Georgia. Those are obviously two states that Joe Biden won. 45 00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:51,480 Speaker 1: And this is the third straight Michigan poll from high 46 00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:56,280 Speaker 1: quality national poll results. The New York Times had Trump 47 00:02:56,440 --> 00:03:01,480 Speaker 1: up five in Michigan, the epic MRA poll had him 48 00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:06,760 Speaker 1: up five, and now CNN has him up ten the 49 00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:09,400 Speaker 1: last three major polls of. 50 00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:10,280 Speaker 2: The state of Michigan. 51 00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:13,960 Speaker 1: That would be huge buck because correct me if I'm wrong, 52 00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:18,360 Speaker 1: But didn't Trump win Michigan in sixteen by like zero 53 00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:22,560 Speaker 1: point one six percent and lost Michigan by a point 54 00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:25,440 Speaker 1: and a half or whatever in twenty twenty. So we're 55 00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:29,000 Speaker 1: not talking about Trump, you know, sort of squeezing out 56 00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:32,640 Speaker 1: a win by ten or fifteen thousand votes. We're talking 57 00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:38,000 Speaker 1: about Trump trousing Biden by multiple points, the likes of 58 00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:41,640 Speaker 1: which we've never seen from Trump in sixteen, twenty or 59 00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:45,320 Speaker 1: twenty four. So reason why I raise that is I'm 60 00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:47,320 Speaker 1: gonna ask you the same question that I put up 61 00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:48,200 Speaker 1: as a poll question. 62 00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:51,040 Speaker 2: Do you believe them? 63 00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:54,840 Speaker 1: Do you believe that this CNN poll that has Trump 64 00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:59,600 Speaker 1: up ten and Trump up five in Georgia? I put 65 00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:02,960 Speaker 1: up this poll, and I just said, hey, is this 66 00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:06,840 Speaker 1: poll accurate? Yes or no? Do you buy it? I 67 00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:09,760 Speaker 1: want to get your read buck. Twelve thousand people have 68 00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:13,720 Speaker 1: voted into whether or not that is accurate. 69 00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:15,840 Speaker 2: So do you think this poll is accurate? 70 00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:18,719 Speaker 1: Do you think that Trump is up five or more 71 00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:22,120 Speaker 1: points in Michigan right now and five or more points 72 00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:25,039 Speaker 1: in Georgia if the election were today, What those polls 73 00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:28,120 Speaker 1: are telling us is Trump would win both states handily 74 00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:31,400 Speaker 1: and flip them from the blue camp to the red camp. 75 00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:38,480 Speaker 2: You buy it. I think you have to buy it. 76 00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:43,800 Speaker 2: I think you have to buy it insofar as polls are, 77 00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:48,280 Speaker 2: you know, something that we use to give us a 78 00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:53,320 Speaker 2: snapshot in time. And the more I look at what's 79 00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:55,560 Speaker 2: happening here, I think it's just all the function of 80 00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:59,120 Speaker 2: whether the indictments. I really believe that what's moving the 81 00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:01,760 Speaker 2: needle here more than any thing, even including the economy, 82 00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:06,080 Speaker 2: is a revulsion among a portion of the electorate at 83 00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:09,760 Speaker 2: the Democrats indicting their top political rival. I think that 84 00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:13,960 Speaker 2: right now you'd have to say that was a dramatic miscalculation. 85 00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:18,280 Speaker 2: And the only way that that changes is if upon 86 00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:21,800 Speaker 2: a guilty verdict, Because it's not going to shift just 87 00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:23,880 Speaker 2: based on what's going on in normal politics. Right The 88 00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:26,440 Speaker 2: only way this changes is if there's a guilty verdict 89 00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:30,920 Speaker 2: against Trump and then somehow public sentiment becomes well, maybe 90 00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:33,080 Speaker 2: it was unfair, but apparently he did the crime, so 91 00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:35,800 Speaker 2: he should do the time. Something along along those lines. 92 00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:38,159 Speaker 2: You Know, it's interesting to me because Governor DeSantis was 93 00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:41,360 Speaker 2: just with us and he said he doesn't think it'll 94 00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:43,920 Speaker 2: be Biden, and then you asked him, which was important, well, okay, 95 00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:47,599 Speaker 2: who will it be? And he said, Kamala. My sense 96 00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:49,360 Speaker 2: all along, and what I've been saying along is it's 97 00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:52,479 Speaker 2: going to be Biden or Kamala. They're the ticket. There's 98 00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:54,880 Speaker 2: a vice president for a reason. Joe Biden could have 99 00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:58,880 Speaker 2: stepped down at any point during his presidency for Kamala Harris, 100 00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:01,280 Speaker 2: and if he were to win, could step down, and 101 00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:04,080 Speaker 2: I think would step down very quickly. But the whole 102 00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:07,000 Speaker 2: point here is, well, yeah, that's the ticket as it 103 00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:09,599 Speaker 2: exists right now. Is there going to be some other? 104 00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:12,320 Speaker 2: And I think that Gavin Newsom showing up in that 105 00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:14,760 Speaker 2: debate the way that he did made him seem like 106 00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:17,960 Speaker 2: a less viable option perhaps than he had previously been. 107 00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:20,400 Speaker 2: And I think that when you start looking at the 108 00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:23,279 Speaker 2: other Okay, you don't have time to get on the ballots. 109 00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:25,880 Speaker 2: Everybody that has passed for key states. You can't come 110 00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:27,960 Speaker 2: the bout. You're not gonna win. So you start with that. 111 00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:31,360 Speaker 2: Now you look at well, you have to figure out 112 00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:33,960 Speaker 2: some kind of a replacement of Biden. Harris. I don't 113 00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:36,200 Speaker 2: even know how that would go, and something that would 114 00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:39,640 Speaker 2: involve the Democratic Convention. I don't know that they have. 115 00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:45,240 Speaker 2: I don't think that they have the logistical acumen to 116 00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:47,200 Speaker 2: pull that off. Is that the right I don't know, 117 00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:49,560 Speaker 2: but that's I don't think they could do it. So 118 00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:51,480 Speaker 2: they're all in on Kamala Biden. And if they're all 119 00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:53,400 Speaker 2: on Kamala Biden, they must think that the ace up 120 00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:55,960 Speaker 2: their sleeve is Trump gets indicted and it's all over. 121 00:06:56,279 --> 00:07:00,080 Speaker 2: I think they may be wrong about that too. Yeah. 122 00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:01,279 Speaker 2: We started texting convicted. 123 00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:03,719 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I was texting with you over the weekend 124 00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:05,480 Speaker 1: about this, and we should mention. And I'm going to 125 00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:07,200 Speaker 1: dive into this because I'll have time to read in 126 00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:09,960 Speaker 1: one of the commercial breaks coming up. But there's a 127 00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:14,200 Speaker 1: big decision about whether Trump can be held accountable based 128 00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:17,680 Speaker 1: on you know, Trump is basically arguing in the DC case, 129 00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:20,800 Speaker 1: this is all a part of presidential powers, and I 130 00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:24,680 Speaker 1: had the ability to challenge whether this was a valid election. 131 00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:28,360 Speaker 1: I committed no crimes. This is well within the scope 132 00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:33,120 Speaker 1: of what presidential performance as the duty of president would 133 00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:35,800 Speaker 1: consist of. I think that's going to go all the 134 00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:39,200 Speaker 1: way to Supreme Court. And Jack Smith is now involved 135 00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:42,360 Speaker 1: in making this decision. I think if I were the 136 00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:45,640 Speaker 1: Supreme Court, and I don't know, do you think we've 137 00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:48,080 Speaker 1: ever had a Supreme Court justice listen to the show Buck? 138 00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:51,560 Speaker 1: Do you think at any point in time any of 139 00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:54,280 Speaker 1: the Supreme Court justices have ever heard our show? 140 00:07:57,360 --> 00:08:01,520 Speaker 2: Yes? Okay, So in the event that we are ever 141 00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:02,400 Speaker 2: heard by. 142 00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:06,200 Speaker 1: The Supreme Court, I will humbly give them my advice 143 00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:10,880 Speaker 1: for what they should do. They should set a hearing 144 00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:16,679 Speaker 1: on this to take place, and then they should allow 145 00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:18,920 Speaker 1: that if they set a hearing on whether or not 146 00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:22,600 Speaker 1: Trump can be prosecuted here, I would set that hearing. 147 00:08:22,640 --> 00:08:25,560 Speaker 1: I would drag it out, and I would set a 148 00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:31,120 Speaker 1: hearing without giving a full verdict before the election is decided, 149 00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:34,480 Speaker 1: because then you let the American public determine, hey, who 150 00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:36,960 Speaker 1: should be the president of the United States. And then 151 00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:40,120 Speaker 1: if Trump wins, Look, he's going to dismiss all this 152 00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:42,520 Speaker 1: with his new attorney general, right, So the case in 153 00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:44,640 Speaker 1: DC is going to go away, the case in Miami's 154 00:08:44,679 --> 00:08:46,280 Speaker 1: going to go South Florida is going to go away. 155 00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:49,480 Speaker 1: If Trump wins, that's what he's going to do, so 156 00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:52,360 Speaker 1: you can avoid what he. 157 00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:55,920 Speaker 2: Probably has to pardon himself. I think that No. 158 00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:58,560 Speaker 1: I think that he'll just have his Attorney general dismiss 159 00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:00,880 Speaker 1: the Department of Justice cases. I don't even think he'd 160 00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:02,199 Speaker 1: have to pardon himself. 161 00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:05,640 Speaker 2: But would but would he be beyond the statute of 162 00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:09,360 Speaker 2: limitations for everything that, because theoretically you could then have 163 00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:12,000 Speaker 2: a Democrat president who resurrects the charges. Even Oh, I. 164 00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:14,760 Speaker 1: Think I think he might well pardon himself for all 165 00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:18,120 Speaker 1: perpetuity before he left. But I'm just saying if I 166 00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:21,440 Speaker 1: were advising him illegally, I instead of even getting involved 167 00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:23,839 Speaker 1: in whether he has the power to pardon, right, then 168 00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:26,319 Speaker 1: I would just go ahead and have the Attorney General 169 00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:29,880 Speaker 1: dismiss the cases and uh and say we're not prosecuting 170 00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:32,959 Speaker 1: these cases. We don't believe But then the Supreme Court 171 00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:36,440 Speaker 1: could rule, and it's not in the middle of an 172 00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:40,160 Speaker 1: election year, So I think the Supreme Court has the 173 00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:45,040 Speaker 1: ability to keep these cases from going to trial before 174 00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:48,400 Speaker 1: the election happens. And that's what I would suggest the 175 00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:51,680 Speaker 1: Supreme Court do, because look what they should say. 176 00:09:51,800 --> 00:09:55,200 Speaker 2: I think Trump's right on the law. But if Trump. 177 00:09:54,920 --> 00:09:59,520 Speaker 1: Appointed justices come in in an election year and say 178 00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:04,200 Speaker 1: Trump can't be prosecuted for these violations, I actually think 179 00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:08,280 Speaker 1: it makes the Supreme Court seem incredibly political. And I 180 00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:11,160 Speaker 1: think if they're worried about, as Chief Justice Roberts Is 181 00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:15,679 Speaker 1: and others are worried about preserving the institutional legitimacy of 182 00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:18,760 Speaker 1: the Court, I would forestall it. Maybe you have here, 183 00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:23,360 Speaker 1: maybe you have oral arguments in October, maybe you even 184 00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:25,280 Speaker 1: have it in March, and then you drag it out, 185 00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:29,840 Speaker 1: whatever the timeframe might be necessary to analyze. I think 186 00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:33,840 Speaker 1: having a Supreme Court ruling on this issue in an 187 00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:36,520 Speaker 1: election year is inherently political. 188 00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:37,160 Speaker 2: And look, the. 189 00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:41,079 Speaker 1: Court didn't choose this. Biden and the Department of Justice 190 00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:45,040 Speaker 1: put it in their purview and made it relevant. But 191 00:10:45,280 --> 00:10:47,480 Speaker 1: then they'll attack the Court. They'll say we have to 192 00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:51,320 Speaker 1: stack the court. They'll say they're running interference for Trump. 193 00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:55,199 Speaker 1: I'm saying, just let the basically, let the clock run out. 194 00:10:55,559 --> 00:10:59,880 Speaker 1: Keep the cases from proceeding and put a stay in place, 195 00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:04,320 Speaker 1: and then after the election you can decide this issue 196 00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:06,480 Speaker 1: or to be moot, because Trump will find a way 197 00:11:06,559 --> 00:11:09,480 Speaker 1: to dismiss it if he wins. If he loses, then 198 00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:12,840 Speaker 1: you can rule on whether or not the prosecution is legitimate. 199 00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:15,640 Speaker 1: But buck, by the way I said, I was going 200 00:11:15,720 --> 00:11:20,120 Speaker 1: to give the results here, sixty three percent of people 201 00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:23,960 Speaker 1: do not believe the CNN polls. And I don't know 202 00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:27,720 Speaker 1: if you've seen this, there is a not insubstantial percentage 203 00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:30,720 Speaker 1: of people out there that believe that all of the 204 00:11:30,760 --> 00:11:35,719 Speaker 1: positive Trump polls is a rig job designed to. 205 00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:37,520 Speaker 2: And I don't believe this. 206 00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:39,880 Speaker 1: Let me make this clear, but there is not in 207 00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:41,319 Speaker 1: substantial You've seen this too. 208 00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:43,839 Speaker 2: This is like a this is a trap. I mean, 209 00:11:43,840 --> 00:11:47,760 Speaker 2: it's the Democrats playing possum or the Democrats. I've said that. 210 00:11:47,960 --> 00:11:53,920 Speaker 2: My fear is the double envelopment at Cana where the 211 00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:56,360 Speaker 2: front line again nerding out here, but everyone we got 212 00:11:56,360 --> 00:11:59,760 Speaker 2: a nerd out. Sometimes the front line of Hannibal with 213 00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:03,520 Speaker 2: I believe hasdrubal on the cavalry on the side. They 214 00:12:03,880 --> 00:12:06,920 Speaker 2: let the front line of the Romans go deeper and 215 00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:08,920 Speaker 2: deeper in the Romans. The front line thought, oh my gosh, 216 00:12:08,920 --> 00:12:11,319 Speaker 2: we're beating these guys, and then they got encircled and 217 00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:14,280 Speaker 2: then they got slaughtered, and sixty thousand people basically on 218 00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:17,800 Speaker 2: the Roman side dead in a day. If the keep 219 00:12:17,800 --> 00:12:19,920 Speaker 2: in mind that was a long time ago, and we 220 00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:22,320 Speaker 2: still talk about it today, because it's very hard to 221 00:12:22,360 --> 00:12:26,559 Speaker 2: pull off that maneuver. If the Democrats pull this off, 222 00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:29,040 Speaker 2: I don't know. I mean, you got to tip the 223 00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:33,240 Speaker 2: hat to the evil skills that they have. I don't think. 224 00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:35,400 Speaker 2: I don't think they're that good either. I mean it's 225 00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:36,400 Speaker 2: possible that I don't. 226 00:12:36,480 --> 00:12:39,640 Speaker 1: Also require that theory, and I just I agree with you. 227 00:12:39,679 --> 00:12:41,320 Speaker 1: I don't believe it, but there's a lot of people 228 00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:43,520 Speaker 1: who do. Sixty three percent of people don't believe the 229 00:12:43,559 --> 00:12:46,800 Speaker 1: current poll result. There's a lot of people out there 230 00:12:47,280 --> 00:12:52,760 Speaker 1: that believe that that conspiracy is underway. I don't think 231 00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:58,120 Speaker 1: you could get every polster to artificially inflate Donald Trump 232 00:12:58,240 --> 00:13:01,920 Speaker 1: something that they've never done before. They've actually undercounted Trump's 233 00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:07,040 Speaker 1: support historically, because you're trying to encourage Trump to be 234 00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:10,800 Speaker 1: the nominee, and then suddenly the polls shift. I just 235 00:13:11,040 --> 00:13:13,000 Speaker 1: I don't buy this. I think that this is a 236 00:13:13,080 --> 00:13:16,840 Speaker 1: referendum on Biden. Right now, there was one number that 237 00:13:16,880 --> 00:13:20,480 Speaker 1: stood out to me Buck forty eight to fourteen in 238 00:13:20,559 --> 00:13:22,560 Speaker 1: the Wall Street Journal poll. And by the way, a 239 00:13:22,559 --> 00:13:26,960 Speaker 1: lot of the pollsters are Republicans, including Trump's own polsters. 240 00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:30,320 Speaker 1: So do you think they're again It just I understand 241 00:13:30,360 --> 00:13:33,840 Speaker 1: skepticism of polls. That's different than the polls are all 242 00:13:33,880 --> 00:13:36,680 Speaker 1: being rigged to tell a story that is inaccurate. But 243 00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:41,920 Speaker 1: forty eight fourteen, who has the ability to do the job? 244 00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:46,440 Speaker 1: Trump beats Biden. That's the election right now. That's why 245 00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:49,480 Speaker 1: I think they have to replace Biden. Forty eight to fourteen, 246 00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:53,240 Speaker 1: Trump is plus thirty four on does he have the 247 00:13:53,280 --> 00:13:55,640 Speaker 1: mental and physical capacity to be president? 248 00:13:56,440 --> 00:13:59,720 Speaker 2: Biden is done. I don't think Biden can win. I 249 00:13:59,720 --> 00:14:00,440 Speaker 2: really don't. 250 00:14:00,920 --> 00:14:03,760 Speaker 1: And that's why I agree with the Santis that they're 251 00:14:03,800 --> 00:14:06,480 Speaker 1: going to have to replace him. I just I don't 252 00:14:06,520 --> 00:14:07,959 Speaker 1: agree with the person that he picked. 253 00:14:08,440 --> 00:14:12,520 Speaker 2: Well, if it's Kamala, I think the numbers it's worse 254 00:14:12,600 --> 00:14:15,760 Speaker 2: keep going down now. I think that's the problem, and 255 00:14:15,880 --> 00:14:17,599 Speaker 2: I don't see the third option. Well, we'll continue to 256 00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:19,200 Speaker 2: look at this. Eight hundred and two A two two 257 00:14:19,240 --> 00:14:22,000 Speaker 2: eight A two. We are in the holiday season and 258 00:14:22,360 --> 00:14:25,080 Speaker 2: it's a time for joy, a time for giving, a 259 00:14:25,120 --> 00:14:27,360 Speaker 2: time for being with family. It's also a time for 260 00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:30,040 Speaker 2: reflection and a time to take a moment to stop 261 00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:32,480 Speaker 2: and think to yourself, what am I doing that makes 262 00:14:32,520 --> 00:14:34,320 Speaker 2: a difference. Sure, you have to make a difference in 263 00:14:34,320 --> 00:14:35,680 Speaker 2: your day to day. You have to take care of 264 00:14:35,680 --> 00:14:39,080 Speaker 2: those around your loved ones, family, friends, colleagues. But what 265 00:14:39,200 --> 00:14:42,640 Speaker 2: about taking part in a godly mission that saves lives. 266 00:14:43,160 --> 00:14:45,400 Speaker 2: You can do that right now this holiday season. You 267 00:14:45,440 --> 00:14:48,800 Speaker 2: can help give the lift, give the gift of life 268 00:14:49,280 --> 00:14:53,040 Speaker 2: to an unborn child. This is with preborn We partner 269 00:14:53,080 --> 00:14:55,880 Speaker 2: with them. There are network of clinics that operate nationwide 270 00:14:56,160 --> 00:14:59,720 Speaker 2: to help mothers in crisis make the decision and make 271 00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:01,440 Speaker 2: it on the their own, but to help push them 272 00:15:01,440 --> 00:15:06,040 Speaker 2: toward the decision to make to give a baby life. 273 00:15:06,360 --> 00:15:09,520 Speaker 2: They place their clinics, the preborn clinics, in communities with 274 00:15:09,560 --> 00:15:13,000 Speaker 2: a higher rate of abortions, and they offer up support 275 00:15:13,080 --> 00:15:16,800 Speaker 2: as an alternative. They are fighting for life, whether it's 276 00:15:16,800 --> 00:15:19,040 Speaker 2: a free ultrasound or they offer to help with supplies, 277 00:15:19,120 --> 00:15:22,560 Speaker 2: maternity clothes and other forms of assistance. They are often 278 00:15:22,560 --> 00:15:25,880 Speaker 2: the difference maker for that mother between life and abortion. 279 00:15:26,400 --> 00:15:28,520 Speaker 2: That free ultrasound is really key in all this too. 280 00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:30,560 Speaker 2: Once a mom meets her baby for the first time, 281 00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:34,120 Speaker 2: here's that heartbeat. Her baby's chance at life is doubled. 282 00:15:34,520 --> 00:15:37,200 Speaker 2: For just twenty eight dollars. That's the cost of an ultrasound. 283 00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:40,720 Speaker 2: You can save a tiny baby's life this holiday season, 284 00:15:41,240 --> 00:15:44,440 Speaker 2: and now through a match your tax deductible gift is doubled. 285 00:15:44,760 --> 00:15:47,080 Speaker 2: That's right. So if you give twenty eight dollars, there'll 286 00:15:47,120 --> 00:15:49,280 Speaker 2: be a matching gift, so you could be helping to 287 00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:52,160 Speaker 2: save two babies lives and whatever you can spare. If 288 00:15:52,240 --> 00:15:55,880 Speaker 2: somebody out there can give one thousand dollars tax deductible 289 00:15:55,960 --> 00:15:59,080 Speaker 2: five thousand dollars a leadership level gift, you'd be able 290 00:15:59,120 --> 00:16:01,280 Speaker 2: to run the Preborn Now work of clinics nationwide for 291 00:16:01,320 --> 00:16:04,240 Speaker 2: twenty four hours, saving two hundred tiny babies lives in 292 00:16:04,280 --> 00:16:08,560 Speaker 2: the process. Using your cell phone dial pound two five zero, 293 00:16:09,040 --> 00:16:13,480 Speaker 2: say the keyword baby. That's pound two five zero, say baby, 294 00:16:13,920 --> 00:16:17,280 Speaker 2: or go online to preborn dot com slash buck that's 295 00:16:17,640 --> 00:16:21,000 Speaker 2: preborn dot com slash b u c K. Preborn has 296 00:16:21,040 --> 00:16:24,640 Speaker 2: a one hundred percent charity rating sponsored by Preborn. 297 00:16:24,840 --> 00:16:30,160 Speaker 3: Keeping It Real Keeping it honest, Clay Travis and Buck Sexton. 298 00:16:30,680 --> 00:16:33,840 Speaker 2: So what is the plan if things are looking so 299 00:16:34,040 --> 00:16:40,640 Speaker 2: bad for their man, Joe Biden. Here's CNN's John Avlon saying, Uh, 300 00:16:40,720 --> 00:16:42,960 Speaker 2: these polls are not good. Folks play too. These are 301 00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:43,960 Speaker 2: bad news for Joe Biden. 302 00:16:43,960 --> 00:16:47,120 Speaker 4: There's an enthusiasm gap that the Biden team needs to confront. 303 00:16:47,480 --> 00:16:50,200 Speaker 4: But as you point out that fact that you know 304 00:16:50,280 --> 00:16:53,200 Speaker 4: that these court cases they go forward, that could be 305 00:16:53,240 --> 00:16:57,440 Speaker 4: a major two by four across Donald Trump, Clay. 306 00:16:58,480 --> 00:17:01,800 Speaker 2: It is all. I really believe this. It's all now 307 00:17:01,880 --> 00:17:04,600 Speaker 2: just Uh, they're rolling the dice on the legal theories, 308 00:17:04,640 --> 00:17:07,400 Speaker 2: on the on the legal onslaught against Trump and the 309 00:17:07,400 --> 00:17:10,240 Speaker 2: theory that that will sink him. There's no other way 310 00:17:10,280 --> 00:17:12,040 Speaker 2: to turn around these kind of numbers in this kind 311 00:17:12,040 --> 00:17:16,040 Speaker 2: of sentiment. They're they're at, you know, a big secret 312 00:17:16,080 --> 00:17:19,760 Speaker 2: weapon kind of level here. There's no standard politics that 313 00:17:19,800 --> 00:17:22,239 Speaker 2: will change this. That's why I come back to do 314 00:17:22,280 --> 00:17:25,440 Speaker 2: you think he can do the job? Americans have decided 315 00:17:25,440 --> 00:17:28,520 Speaker 2: the answer is no. And I just think come August, 316 00:17:28,920 --> 00:17:31,560 Speaker 2: they're going to say that Biden has some sort of 317 00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:35,040 Speaker 2: health related concern and they're going to make the switch. Now, 318 00:17:35,080 --> 00:17:37,080 Speaker 2: how do they get past Kamala Harris, who I think 319 00:17:37,160 --> 00:17:39,479 Speaker 2: is worse, will play some of that audio because Ron 320 00:17:39,520 --> 00:17:41,840 Speaker 2: Desanta says he thinks it'll be Kamala. I don't. 321 00:17:42,040 --> 00:17:44,760 Speaker 1: I think they'll go external outside of the existing ticket. 322 00:17:48,560 --> 00:17:50,720 Speaker 2: This past weekend, I was out of the range, working 323 00:17:50,760 --> 00:17:53,479 Speaker 2: on the basics, trying to get my skills better and 324 00:17:53,520 --> 00:17:56,120 Speaker 2: better over time. Might even have to start shooting left 325 00:17:56,119 --> 00:17:59,000 Speaker 2: handed because I'm left eye dominant. Oh gosh. But you know, 326 00:17:59,040 --> 00:18:03,119 Speaker 2: it's all about basics and proficiency and repetition, and sure, 327 00:18:03,119 --> 00:18:05,879 Speaker 2: when you can get to the range, that's great. But 328 00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:07,920 Speaker 2: if you want to be getting better all the time, 329 00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:11,120 Speaker 2: so when you're actually out there doing live fire, you're 330 00:18:11,400 --> 00:18:13,639 Speaker 2: getting the best out of it you can, You've got 331 00:18:13,680 --> 00:18:16,600 Speaker 2: to check out the mantis X system. Mantus X gives 332 00:18:16,600 --> 00:18:19,280 Speaker 2: you data driven, real time feedback on your technique, takes 333 00:18:19,280 --> 00:18:21,280 Speaker 2: you through drills and courses. I've got this thing at home. 334 00:18:21,600 --> 00:18:24,840 Speaker 2: It's addictive because it gives you data that shows how 335 00:18:24,880 --> 00:18:27,000 Speaker 2: is your trigger pull, how's your side alignment, how are 336 00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:31,640 Speaker 2: your shooting skills right now?

Oh, it's because I've 340 00:18:38,320 --> 00:18:41,520 Speaker 2: been using the mantis X system, of course.

We are 345 00:18:54,000 --> 00:18:57,639 Speaker 1: scheduled to be joined by Senator JdE Vance from Ohio 346 00:18:57,960 --> 00:19:00,200 Speaker 1: here in the new year future. But I want to 347 00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:04,040 Speaker 1: to mention Buck. I know a lot of you saw 348 00:19:04,119 --> 00:19:08,760 Speaker 1: the story about at least six people killed. Tornado swept 349 00:19:08,760 --> 00:19:13,280 Speaker 1: through the Nashville area over this weekend. Came about one 350 00:19:13,400 --> 00:19:18,360 Speaker 1: hundred yards from my sister's house north of town in 351 00:19:18,400 --> 00:19:21,800 Speaker 1: the Gallaton Hendersonville area, and I was over at her 352 00:19:21,840 --> 00:19:25,960 Speaker 1: house on Sunday and driving through her neighborhood. 353 00:19:26,520 --> 00:19:27,200 Speaker 2: The amount of. 354 00:19:27,200 --> 00:19:31,439 Speaker 1: Damage pretty staggering. And so I know we have a 355 00:19:31,520 --> 00:19:36,360 Speaker 1: large listenership in the state of Tennessee and all over 356 00:19:36,400 --> 00:19:38,960 Speaker 1: the southeast in particular, and frankly all over the nation. 357 00:19:39,040 --> 00:19:41,520 Speaker 1: I know many people have been paying attention to this, 358 00:19:42,160 --> 00:19:47,400 Speaker 1: but it was an absolutely devastating storm that rolled through 359 00:19:47,440 --> 00:19:49,679 Speaker 1: and I went by and saw a lot of the 360 00:19:49,760 --> 00:19:54,399 Speaker 1: damage on Sunday from that north side of town. So 361 00:19:54,800 --> 00:19:59,320 Speaker 1: I just want everybody to know that in that area 362 00:19:59,680 --> 00:20:02,600 Speaker 1: we are thinking about you. Hopefully we can do something 363 00:20:02,720 --> 00:20:04,840 Speaker 1: for some of the people. I certainly will try to 364 00:20:04,840 --> 00:20:10,200 Speaker 1: do my best here in the Nashville area and Clarksville 365 00:20:10,240 --> 00:20:14,680 Speaker 1: and all points around that were that were hit associated 366 00:20:14,720 --> 00:20:16,800 Speaker 1: with that. So I just want to make sure that 367 00:20:16,880 --> 00:20:21,639 Speaker 1: I mentioned that, and I know it's a particularly challenging 368 00:20:21,720 --> 00:20:25,320 Speaker 1: time for anyone out there that is dealing with those 369 00:20:25,400 --> 00:20:28,080 Speaker 1: sort of natural disasters as you get closer to the 370 00:20:28,080 --> 00:20:33,080 Speaker 1: holiday season. We're joined now by Ohio Senator jd Vance 371 00:20:33,280 --> 00:20:36,359 Speaker 1: and jd we appreciate the time and you coming on 372 00:20:36,440 --> 00:20:36,720 Speaker 1: with us. 373 00:20:36,760 --> 00:20:38,320 Speaker 2: I just want to jump in right off the top. 374 00:20:38,359 --> 00:20:41,640 Speaker 1: I'm sure you've seen the des Moines Register polls now 375 00:20:41,680 --> 00:20:45,879 Speaker 1: the Morning Consult polls. Is this thing over in your mind? 376 00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:48,280 Speaker 1: And is Donald Trump going to be the nominee for 377 00:20:48,359 --> 00:20:50,200 Speaker 1: the Republican Party in twenty twenty four? 378 00:20:51,440 --> 00:20:53,480 Speaker 3: Yeah, you guys obviously on bias, I endorse trev. I 379 00:20:53,480 --> 00:20:55,560 Speaker 3: think it was one of the first US Senators to 380 00:20:55,640 --> 00:20:58,679 Speaker 3: endorse in the cycle. I think it's been over for 381 00:20:58,720 --> 00:21:01,440 Speaker 3: a long time. The des Moines sure pull in my mind, 382 00:21:01,480 --> 00:21:03,399 Speaker 3: just confirms that We've to remember I was probably the 383 00:21:03,440 --> 00:21:06,560 Speaker 3: worst state for Trump of some of the early primary states, 384 00:21:06,600 --> 00:21:09,159 Speaker 3: and if he's already sort of clearing a majority, then 385 00:21:09,160 --> 00:21:11,120 Speaker 3: I think that's very good news for him. Now, when 386 00:21:11,160 --> 00:21:13,240 Speaker 3: I make this argument sort of people who are behind 387 00:21:13,359 --> 00:21:15,560 Speaker 3: DeSantis or Haley or whoever else will always say, well, 388 00:21:15,560 --> 00:21:17,640 Speaker 3: don't we want to let the voters decide. I think 389 00:21:17,640 --> 00:21:19,199 Speaker 3: it's obviously a fair point. You do want to let 390 00:21:19,240 --> 00:21:21,600 Speaker 3: the voters decide. You know, I get one vote, you 391 00:21:21,640 --> 00:21:25,359 Speaker 3: guys get one vote, but voters, we each need to 392 00:21:25,400 --> 00:21:29,560 Speaker 3: make our voices heard on this. The counter argument here is, look, 393 00:21:29,600 --> 00:21:32,520 Speaker 3: if the president is out to a commanding lead, and 394 00:21:32,600 --> 00:21:35,879 Speaker 3: I think that he is, you can say let the 395 00:21:35,920 --> 00:21:38,760 Speaker 3: voters decide, while at the same time saying the party 396 00:21:38,800 --> 00:21:43,199 Speaker 3: apparatus needs to prepare for the inevitable, and you know, 397 00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:46,120 Speaker 3: Desanta should run his race, Haley should run her race. 398 00:21:46,200 --> 00:21:49,240 Speaker 3: But if the president looks like the prohibitive favorite of 399 00:21:49,320 --> 00:21:52,239 Speaker 3: the voters, then maybe don't say and do things that 400 00:21:52,320 --> 00:21:54,280 Speaker 3: make it more likely that Joe Biden is just going 401 00:21:54,359 --> 00:21:56,680 Speaker 3: to use your words put him in a TV ad 402 00:21:56,720 --> 00:21:59,880 Speaker 3: attacking the eventual nominee. Or if you're the RNC, maybe 403 00:21:59,880 --> 00:22:01,800 Speaker 3: we start thinking a little bit more seriously about how 404 00:22:01,800 --> 00:22:04,960 Speaker 3: to build a ballot harvesting operation nationwide, especially in the 405 00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:07,400 Speaker 3: battleground states, and a little bit less resources on these 406 00:22:07,440 --> 00:22:10,000 Speaker 3: debates that fewer and fewer people are watching. So I 407 00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:13,080 Speaker 3: think the institutional Party needs to wake up and smell 408 00:22:13,080 --> 00:22:14,679 Speaker 3: the roses here and put us in a position to 409 00:22:14,720 --> 00:22:15,920 Speaker 3: win in November. 410 00:22:17,760 --> 00:22:20,159 Speaker 2: You know, JD. I know you're a senator, now you 411 00:22:20,280 --> 00:22:24,600 Speaker 2: also are a former marine, and I know that the 412 00:22:24,640 --> 00:22:27,879 Speaker 2: Democrats are not the enemy in that kind of context, 413 00:22:27,920 --> 00:22:31,119 Speaker 2: but they're the opposition politically. And if you're looking at 414 00:22:31,160 --> 00:22:33,880 Speaker 2: the tactics, if you're looking at politics like a battlefield 415 00:22:33,920 --> 00:22:37,320 Speaker 2: strategy issue, do they know something we don't know here? 416 00:22:37,400 --> 00:22:40,720 Speaker 2: Because I keep looking at this, Clay is basically saying that, like, 417 00:22:40,880 --> 00:22:42,960 Speaker 2: this thing looks like it's over meeting the general election, 418 00:22:43,040 --> 00:22:45,200 Speaker 2: never mind the primary before it's even happening. 419 00:22:45,240 --> 00:22:47,439 Speaker 1: I'm sitting here eating I don't think Biden can be 420 00:22:47,520 --> 00:22:50,360 Speaker 1: the guy, like, not necessarily that I just I look 421 00:22:50,400 --> 00:22:51,040 Speaker 1: at these numbers. 422 00:22:51,160 --> 00:22:55,359 Speaker 2: Yeah, but you know it can't be Biden. But is 423 00:22:55,400 --> 00:22:57,240 Speaker 2: there something that you worry about that they know that 424 00:22:57,280 --> 00:22:59,520 Speaker 2: we don't where it can be Biden or how do 425 00:22:59,560 --> 00:23:00,560 Speaker 2: you think this plays out? 426 00:23:01,400 --> 00:23:01,560 Speaker 5: Oh? 427 00:23:01,600 --> 00:23:03,399 Speaker 3: Look, I think the thing I worry about is a 428 00:23:03,480 --> 00:23:05,840 Speaker 3: lawfair they're pulling against Donald Trump. I mean, I just 429 00:23:05,840 --> 00:23:08,440 Speaker 3: saw the news a couple of minutes ago, actually that 430 00:23:08,840 --> 00:23:12,600 Speaker 3: Jack Smith is trying to basically petitioning the Supreme Court 431 00:23:13,040 --> 00:23:15,480 Speaker 3: to rule on one of the threshold claims of his 432 00:23:15,800 --> 00:23:19,800 Speaker 3: entire criminal lawsuit against Donald Trump, and basically to do 433 00:23:19,840 --> 00:23:22,480 Speaker 3: it in order that he can actually have a trial 434 00:23:22,520 --> 00:23:25,560 Speaker 3: that runs its course before the American people get to vote. Like, 435 00:23:25,560 --> 00:23:28,040 Speaker 3: what better evidence do we need that this is all 436 00:23:28,080 --> 00:23:30,920 Speaker 3: about politics, It has nothing to do with justice. So yeah, 437 00:23:31,160 --> 00:23:33,439 Speaker 3: I worry about the dirty tricks they're going to pull 438 00:23:33,480 --> 00:23:37,760 Speaker 3: more than anything. I Look, I clearly Biden has a 439 00:23:37,920 --> 00:23:41,960 Speaker 3: lot of issues electorally. But my assumption here is that 440 00:23:42,080 --> 00:23:44,360 Speaker 3: even if it is Biden, and I think it will be, 441 00:23:44,480 --> 00:23:46,680 Speaker 3: I think it's very hard for Democrats to change course 442 00:23:46,720 --> 00:23:49,440 Speaker 3: this late in the game. But who knows. But even 443 00:23:49,480 --> 00:23:52,560 Speaker 3: if it is Biden, I think it's probably going to 444 00:23:52,560 --> 00:23:56,040 Speaker 3: be a decently close election. We can't sort of rest 445 00:23:56,080 --> 00:23:58,040 Speaker 3: on our laurels here just because the polling looad it's 446 00:23:58,040 --> 00:24:00,480 Speaker 3: good for Donald Trump. You're out the way they're going 447 00:24:00,520 --> 00:24:02,640 Speaker 3: to take them down, I think is pretty clearly using 448 00:24:02,920 --> 00:24:04,959 Speaker 3: the Department of Justice in order to do it. They've 449 00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:10,040 Speaker 3: already telegraphed the play here, which is why I think Republicans, look, 450 00:24:10,359 --> 00:24:12,359 Speaker 3: whoever your candidate is. I think for most of us 451 00:24:12,359 --> 00:24:15,040 Speaker 3: at this point, it's Donald Trump. But we can't sort 452 00:24:15,040 --> 00:24:17,199 Speaker 3: of give into the law fare and say we're going 453 00:24:17,240 --> 00:24:19,879 Speaker 3: to let Jack Smith and Merrick Garland decide who our 454 00:24:19,920 --> 00:24:22,040 Speaker 3: nominee is going to be. I hear this from a 455 00:24:22,080 --> 00:24:24,399 Speaker 3: lot of Conservatives, who I think are fundamentally good people. 456 00:24:24,400 --> 00:24:27,520 Speaker 3: They'll say, well, I'm so worried about the legal lawsuits 457 00:24:27,520 --> 00:24:30,680 Speaker 3: against Donald Trump that I want to pick a different candidate. Well, then, 458 00:24:30,720 --> 00:24:34,000 Speaker 3: aren't you just letting this corrupt Justice Department choose your 459 00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:36,440 Speaker 3: nominee for you. We have to get it out there, 460 00:24:36,440 --> 00:24:37,800 Speaker 3: we have to talk about it. We have to make 461 00:24:37,800 --> 00:24:40,720 Speaker 3: the American people aware of the fact that they really 462 00:24:40,800 --> 00:24:44,320 Speaker 3: are using the Department of Justice to engage in election interference. 463 00:24:44,760 --> 00:24:46,520 Speaker 3: That to me, is the game we have to play, 464 00:24:46,560 --> 00:24:48,360 Speaker 3: because that's the game the Democrats are going to push 465 00:24:48,359 --> 00:24:49,119 Speaker 3: on Donald Trump. 466 00:24:49,920 --> 00:24:51,600 Speaker 2: Jad. I'm sure you saw it. 467 00:24:51,800 --> 00:24:54,679 Speaker 1: The Axios report said that you are one of the 468 00:24:54,720 --> 00:24:58,479 Speaker 1: top contenders to be Donald Trump's vice presidential pick. I 469 00:24:58,520 --> 00:25:01,080 Speaker 1: know you probably are enjoyed your time in the Senate 470 00:25:01,160 --> 00:25:04,520 Speaker 1: and you just got there. If Trump is the nominee, 471 00:25:04,840 --> 00:25:07,440 Speaker 1: would you be willing to leave the Senate to work 472 00:25:07,520 --> 00:25:10,760 Speaker 1: somewhere else or are you pretty much buckled down and 473 00:25:10,840 --> 00:25:14,440 Speaker 1: you think the most advantageous use of your skills would 474 00:25:14,480 --> 00:25:15,960 Speaker 1: be to stay in the Senate no matter what. 475 00:25:16,920 --> 00:25:17,720 Speaker 2: Yeah, man, I. 476 00:25:17,640 --> 00:25:19,159 Speaker 3: Really like my job and I want to stay in 477 00:25:19,160 --> 00:25:21,639 Speaker 3: the Senate. That said, of course, if Trump asked me, 478 00:25:22,080 --> 00:25:23,879 Speaker 3: I'd be an idiot not to consider it. I'd be 479 00:25:23,960 --> 00:25:26,320 Speaker 3: very honored by the ask. But I do think that 480 00:25:26,359 --> 00:25:28,520 Speaker 3: we have to remember that one of the big problems 481 00:25:28,560 --> 00:25:32,680 Speaker 3: of Trump administration round one was that you had congressional 482 00:25:32,680 --> 00:25:36,240 Speaker 3: Republicans actively fighting the agenda. I think, especially on the 483 00:25:36,240 --> 00:25:39,440 Speaker 3: things I care most about, which is the border, which 484 00:25:39,480 --> 00:25:41,359 Speaker 3: is our trade policies, especially vs. V. 485 00:25:41,520 --> 00:25:41,840 Speaker 2: China. 486 00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:46,280 Speaker 3: You can't have a Republican set of legislators that is 487 00:25:46,320 --> 00:25:50,080 Speaker 3: actively fighting against the people's elected president. So I think 488 00:25:50,080 --> 00:25:52,639 Speaker 3: it's important that we have you know, America first style 489 00:25:52,720 --> 00:25:57,040 Speaker 3: conservatives in Congress pushing the agenda legislatively. That's the goal 490 00:25:57,359 --> 00:25:59,959 Speaker 3: of me personally, that's the way I think I can 491 00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:03,200 Speaker 3: best served the people of Ohio who elected me. But certainly, 492 00:26:03,280 --> 00:26:05,919 Speaker 3: like I'm going to help President Trump get over the 493 00:26:05,920 --> 00:26:08,919 Speaker 3: finish line. And if he asked me, I'm not going 494 00:26:08,960 --> 00:26:12,240 Speaker 3: to pretend. You know, you always hear these apolitians like, 495 00:26:12,240 --> 00:26:13,840 Speaker 3: oh well, you know, they try to him and hon 496 00:26:13,920 --> 00:26:16,080 Speaker 3: get out of the answer. I'm going to think about 497 00:26:16,080 --> 00:26:17,800 Speaker 3: it if he asks me, but I don't think that 498 00:26:17,840 --> 00:26:19,600 Speaker 3: he will, and I think that my best role is 499 00:26:19,640 --> 00:26:20,240 Speaker 3: to be a senator. 500 00:26:21,320 --> 00:26:22,800 Speaker 2: You know, JD. There's been a lot of back and 501 00:26:22,840 --> 00:26:26,800 Speaker 2: forth about Ukraine recently, whether it's just on the debate 502 00:26:26,880 --> 00:26:30,760 Speaker 2: stage of the of the primary or you know, in 503 00:26:30,800 --> 00:26:33,520 Speaker 2: the course of the news cycle and the congressional funding 504 00:26:33,600 --> 00:26:38,080 Speaker 2: for it. Where are you on that right now? And 505 00:26:38,119 --> 00:26:40,159 Speaker 2: I mean we just talked about the possibility of you 506 00:26:40,200 --> 00:26:42,480 Speaker 2: may be being part of the executive branch, But whether 507 00:26:42,560 --> 00:26:44,359 Speaker 2: you are or not, you're certainly a voice on this 508 00:26:44,440 --> 00:26:47,000 Speaker 2: issue that people on the right are going to be 509 00:26:47,040 --> 00:26:50,280 Speaker 2: hearing from and should pay attention to. Do you think 510 00:26:50,320 --> 00:26:52,920 Speaker 2: that we've reached a new phase where people are recognizing 511 00:26:53,600 --> 00:26:57,280 Speaker 2: that the Ukrainian resistance, however glorious somebody may think it 512 00:26:57,359 --> 00:26:59,720 Speaker 2: is or whatever, is not going to be able to 513 00:26:59,760 --> 00:27:02,159 Speaker 2: actually beat Russia in this fight, or where do you 514 00:27:02,160 --> 00:27:02,560 Speaker 2: put this? 515 00:27:03,720 --> 00:27:05,840 Speaker 3: Yeah, I think people were starting to wake up and 516 00:27:05,920 --> 00:27:11,359 Speaker 3: smell what's actually going on here, which is whatever bravery 517 00:27:11,400 --> 00:27:15,000 Speaker 3: we might commend on the Ukrainian side, it's clearly not 518 00:27:15,080 --> 00:27:17,960 Speaker 3: going to be enough to return Russia to the nineteen 519 00:27:18,040 --> 00:27:21,000 Speaker 3: ninety one borders. I've been saying this for a while, 520 00:27:21,040 --> 00:27:24,159 Speaker 3: but you even see members of Zelenski's own government, the 521 00:27:24,240 --> 00:27:27,440 Speaker 3: leader of his military said recently that there's no way 522 00:27:27,480 --> 00:27:31,240 Speaker 3: they can decisively beat Russia on the battlefield. This thing 523 00:27:31,280 --> 00:27:34,920 Speaker 3: has been a stalemate, And as I've said repeatedly, everybody 524 00:27:34,960 --> 00:27:37,359 Speaker 3: with a brain realizes that this was always going to 525 00:27:37,440 --> 00:27:40,439 Speaker 3: end in negotiation. Where you draw the line, how the 526 00:27:40,480 --> 00:27:44,440 Speaker 3: fighting stops, how you hopefully prevent the fighting from picking 527 00:27:44,480 --> 00:27:47,480 Speaker 3: back up again and the war from restarting. Was going 528 00:27:47,520 --> 00:27:50,400 Speaker 3: to be the subject of a major negotiation, obviously between 529 00:27:50,440 --> 00:27:53,520 Speaker 3: the Russians and the Ukrainians, but also between the Americans, 530 00:27:53,560 --> 00:27:56,639 Speaker 3: between NATO and a lot of other interested parties. The 531 00:27:56,760 --> 00:27:59,439 Speaker 3: fact that we have tried so hard to convince the 532 00:27:59,440 --> 00:28:02,960 Speaker 3: American peace people that a country with a fifth of 533 00:28:02,960 --> 00:28:05,879 Speaker 3: the population of Russia was going to be able to 534 00:28:05,920 --> 00:28:08,440 Speaker 3: throw them back to the nineteen ninety one borders, where 535 00:28:08,480 --> 00:28:11,120 Speaker 3: you have even some insane people on the American side 536 00:28:11,160 --> 00:28:14,080 Speaker 3: saying that we were going to depose Vladimir Putin and 537 00:28:14,119 --> 00:28:16,359 Speaker 3: do regime change in Russia, which, by the way, is 538 00:28:16,440 --> 00:28:19,080 Speaker 3: scary because maybe the first thon you get is better 539 00:28:19,119 --> 00:28:20,920 Speaker 3: than Putin. Maybe the first thing you get is worse 540 00:28:20,960 --> 00:28:25,080 Speaker 3: than Putin with his finger on the nuclear trigger. So yeah, 541 00:28:25,119 --> 00:28:28,040 Speaker 3: I think we're waking up here. The thing I'd encourage 542 00:28:28,040 --> 00:28:30,840 Speaker 3: all your listeners to appreciate here is that if this 543 00:28:30,960 --> 00:28:34,800 Speaker 3: goes on much further, Ukraine will become a rump country 544 00:28:34,880 --> 00:28:38,520 Speaker 3: that completely depends on Western support to even function to 545 00:28:38,600 --> 00:28:43,040 Speaker 3: pay its retirees, to do the basic tasks of civil 546 00:28:43,080 --> 00:28:46,800 Speaker 3: government like repair the roads and infrastructure. The average age 547 00:28:46,800 --> 00:28:49,760 Speaker 3: of a Ukrainian soldier is forty three. That's only increasing. 548 00:28:49,960 --> 00:28:53,280 Speaker 3: They don't have nearly enough young men to keep on fighting. 549 00:28:53,320 --> 00:28:55,800 Speaker 3: They don't have nearly enough people to run a country 550 00:28:55,800 --> 00:28:59,120 Speaker 3: of their size. This gets worse and worse the longer 551 00:28:59,160 --> 00:29:00,520 Speaker 3: it goes on, which is why I think we should 552 00:29:00,560 --> 00:29:01,840 Speaker 3: be bringing it to a rapid close. 553 00:29:02,440 --> 00:29:02,720 Speaker 2: JD. 554 00:29:03,080 --> 00:29:06,680 Speaker 1: You've got a really good legal background, and you mentioned 555 00:29:06,680 --> 00:29:10,040 Speaker 1: the Jack Smith appeal to the Supreme Court, and I 556 00:29:10,080 --> 00:29:12,320 Speaker 1: know a lot of our audience is having we try 557 00:29:12,320 --> 00:29:14,800 Speaker 1: to keep them updated. But there's so many different legal 558 00:29:15,080 --> 00:29:20,400 Speaker 1: maneuverings and complicated legalities there. What do you think the 559 00:29:20,440 --> 00:29:23,560 Speaker 1: Supreme Court should do? I think you probably agree with 560 00:29:23,640 --> 00:29:25,920 Speaker 1: me and with Buck that there's no way Donald Trump 561 00:29:25,960 --> 00:29:30,200 Speaker 1: should be standing trial in this ham handed campaign of 562 00:29:30,240 --> 00:29:33,240 Speaker 1: the Democrats to try to use law air against him 563 00:29:33,320 --> 00:29:36,520 Speaker 1: in an election year. But now that the Supreme Court 564 00:29:36,600 --> 00:29:39,360 Speaker 1: is getting drawn in that, they're being asked, hey make 565 00:29:39,400 --> 00:29:42,959 Speaker 1: a ruling on whether this is within the scope of 566 00:29:43,120 --> 00:29:46,720 Speaker 1: Trump's presidential powers or not, i e. Whether he can 567 00:29:46,760 --> 00:29:49,120 Speaker 1: even be prosecuted at all. You know, if they say 568 00:29:49,160 --> 00:29:51,600 Speaker 1: he can't, then they're going to say, well, of course not. 569 00:29:51,680 --> 00:29:54,480 Speaker 1: Trump appointed three of these judges. They're going to attack 570 00:29:54,520 --> 00:29:56,720 Speaker 1: the legitimacy. They may even say, this is why we 571 00:29:56,800 --> 00:29:59,320 Speaker 1: need to pack the court. Pretend that you were a 572 00:29:59,360 --> 00:30:02,800 Speaker 1: Supreme Court justice right now, you understand all of these 573 00:30:02,840 --> 00:30:07,000 Speaker 1: different swirling dynamics. How, in your mind is the best 574 00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:10,520 Speaker 1: way the Supreme Court could handle the situation that Jacksmith 575 00:30:10,560 --> 00:30:12,040 Speaker 1: and the Democrats are putting them in. 576 00:30:12,800 --> 00:30:13,040 Speaker 5: Yeah. 577 00:30:13,080 --> 00:30:15,200 Speaker 3: So, look, I'm hardly an expert on the law here. 578 00:30:15,280 --> 00:30:17,360 Speaker 3: So I don't want to pretend that I know all 579 00:30:17,400 --> 00:30:20,120 Speaker 3: the ins and outs, but there are two basic things 580 00:30:20,120 --> 00:30:22,000 Speaker 3: that I think the Supreme Court could do. So obviously, 581 00:30:22,000 --> 00:30:24,120 Speaker 3: it could take up the case as I understand it 582 00:30:24,160 --> 00:30:27,640 Speaker 3: and say, look that president has broad immunity here. Presidential 583 00:30:27,680 --> 00:30:30,560 Speaker 3: powers cover everything that he did, and they throw out 584 00:30:30,640 --> 00:30:33,400 Speaker 3: the case. I would obviously be very happy with that. 585 00:30:33,480 --> 00:30:35,080 Speaker 3: I don't know if that's something the Supreme Court is 586 00:30:35,080 --> 00:30:38,160 Speaker 3: actually going to do. But the worst and most important 587 00:30:38,160 --> 00:30:41,720 Speaker 3: thing for the Supreme Court to avoid is to weigh 588 00:30:41,880 --> 00:30:44,280 Speaker 3: in and to do it in a way that's politically 589 00:30:44,360 --> 00:30:48,480 Speaker 3: expedient for Jack Smith. You can't have the Supreme Court 590 00:30:48,560 --> 00:30:51,280 Speaker 3: sort of jump into this thing, because normally you would 591 00:30:51,280 --> 00:30:54,360 Speaker 3: expect a lower repellate court to hear this before the 592 00:30:54,360 --> 00:30:57,320 Speaker 3: Supreme Court even considered it. So what you really can't 593 00:30:57,360 --> 00:30:59,680 Speaker 3: have is for the Supreme Court to jump the gun, 594 00:31:00,200 --> 00:31:02,640 Speaker 3: to hear this thing early, and to do it in 595 00:31:02,680 --> 00:31:05,720 Speaker 3: a way that enables Jack Smith to get what I 596 00:31:05,760 --> 00:31:09,000 Speaker 3: think is fundamentally a fraudile at trial through by election day. 597 00:31:09,000 --> 00:31:11,360 Speaker 3: Because that again, this is the thing that I actually 598 00:31:11,440 --> 00:31:14,080 Speaker 3: do worry about, is all of this law there and 599 00:31:14,120 --> 00:31:16,880 Speaker 3: the Supreme Court shouldn't participate in it. At the very least, 600 00:31:17,160 --> 00:31:19,280 Speaker 3: that should be the bare minimum mask of a Supreme 601 00:31:19,320 --> 00:31:20,440 Speaker 3: Court that's applying the law. 602 00:31:21,640 --> 00:31:24,840 Speaker 2: JD Vance Center from Ohio.

Then also a photo last week causing 664 00:34:24,080 --> 00:34:28,480 Speaker 2: some controversy, at least on the left of hamas prisoners 665 00:34:28,880 --> 00:34:34,400 Speaker 2: being taken into custody and being taken in in their underwear, 666 00:34:34,440 --> 00:34:37,400 Speaker 2: and people are trying to say, look, this show's Oh no, 667 00:34:37,640 --> 00:34:40,000 Speaker 2: I will explain what it shows, and it is not 668 00:34:40,160 --> 00:34:44,799 Speaker 2: something that the the haters of Israel will tell you 669 00:34:44,840 --> 00:34:46,960 Speaker 2: because they want to pretend that it's something that it's not. 670 00:34:47,239 --> 00:34:49,120 Speaker 2: So we'll get into some of those things here coming up. 671 00:34:49,120 --> 00:34:52,160 Speaker 2: We also got some calls, some vip emails and let's 672 00:34:52,200 --> 00:34:55,680 Speaker 2: do it. Phillip in Wisconsin, what have you got first 673 00:34:55,680 --> 00:35:00,520 Speaker 2: in the polls, Hey, guys, leave the. 674 00:35:00,480 --> 00:35:04,480 Speaker 5: Ten point lead in Michigan poll. But for a different reason. 675 00:35:04,920 --> 00:35:07,359 Speaker 5: I think if they had come out and said two 676 00:35:07,400 --> 00:35:10,279 Speaker 5: of the three points, that's believable. Ten points in the 677 00:35:10,360 --> 00:35:15,239 Speaker 5: land of Gretchen Whitmer, it's just unbelievable. I think. I 678 00:35:15,239 --> 00:35:17,239 Speaker 5: don't think it has to do with trying to bamboozle 679 00:35:17,280 --> 00:35:20,040 Speaker 5: Trump supporters. I think it has to do with they 680 00:35:20,040 --> 00:35:23,640 Speaker 5: want Biden out so badly that they're they're willing to 681 00:35:23,680 --> 00:35:25,720 Speaker 5: exaggerate the numbers to that extent. 682 00:35:25,920 --> 00:35:28,840 Speaker 1: So tell guys, thank you for the call. And I 683 00:35:29,280 --> 00:35:33,760 Speaker 1: think he's raising an interesting question buck. Most of these polls, 684 00:35:34,840 --> 00:35:37,719 Speaker 1: a lot of them have a Democrat and a Republican 685 00:35:38,040 --> 00:35:41,400 Speaker 1: involved in doing the poll. For instance, the Wall Street 686 00:35:41,440 --> 00:35:44,680 Speaker 1: Journal poll that just came out on Saturday that had 687 00:35:44,719 --> 00:35:48,600 Speaker 1: Trump up four and I cited the forty eight fourteen 688 00:35:48,960 --> 00:35:52,120 Speaker 1: is he mentally able, basically or physically able to be president? 689 00:35:52,160 --> 00:35:56,080 Speaker 1: That Trump dominates Biden by thirty four points there in 690 00:35:56,239 --> 00:35:59,040 Speaker 1: order to believe that they are rigging the poll results. 691 00:35:59,600 --> 00:36:04,480 Speaker 1: Trump's lead polster is the co polster for that Wall 692 00:36:04,560 --> 00:36:08,640 Speaker 1: Street Journal poll. They try to address bias by having 693 00:36:08,719 --> 00:36:11,960 Speaker 1: a Democrat and a Republican often involved on both sides. 694 00:36:12,320 --> 00:36:15,759 Speaker 1: So it would require a lot of dishonesty at basically 695 00:36:15,880 --> 00:36:17,160 Speaker 1: every polster. 696 00:36:17,280 --> 00:36:20,200 Speaker 2: Agreeing to tell a lie. And I just don't find 697 00:36:20,239 --> 00:36:22,680 Speaker 2: that to be I don't to be true. This is 698 00:36:22,719 --> 00:36:29,880 Speaker 2: where conspiracies like that can't hold together. It's too complicated, 699 00:36:29,960 --> 00:36:32,640 Speaker 2: too many moving pieces, too many parts, and not the 700 00:36:32,680 --> 00:36:35,000 Speaker 2: motivations you would need to do it in the first place. 701 00:36:35,000 --> 00:36:37,440 Speaker 2: As you're pointing out. So I think the polls are 702 00:36:37,480 --> 00:36:40,200 Speaker 2: what they are. They are an accurate gauge of the 703 00:36:40,280 --> 00:36:43,760 Speaker 2: sentiment right now, and it's it's just kind of hard 704 00:36:43,800 --> 00:36:45,480 Speaker 2: to trust for a lot of us out there that 705 00:36:46,000 --> 00:36:49,680 Speaker 2: right now the sentiment is Trump is crushing Joe Biden
