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 --> 00:00:04,720 Speaker 1: Sexton Show podcast. 3 00:00:05,559 --> 00:00:06,400 Speaker 2: Welcome in our. 4 00:00:06,360 --> 00:00:10,200 Speaker 3: Number two Monday edition of the program. Appreciate all of 5 00:00:10,240 --> 00:00:11,960 Speaker 3: you hanging out with us. We'll continue to take some 6 00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:15,400 Speaker 3: of your calls reacting to Moron DeSantis dropping out. We're 7 00:00:15,440 --> 00:00:18,239 Speaker 3: on the eve of the New Hampshire primary and we 8 00:00:18,320 --> 00:00:23,200 Speaker 3: are joined by Ohio Senator JD Vance, who has been 9 00:00:23,440 --> 00:00:26,320 Speaker 3: in the news quite a lot lately, also been campaigning 10 00:00:26,360 --> 00:00:30,240 Speaker 3: all over New Hampshire. I have seen with President Trump 11 00:00:30,280 --> 00:00:33,720 Speaker 3: who was soon to lock up the Republican nomination and 12 00:00:33,880 --> 00:00:37,479 Speaker 3: jd I'm sure you have been asked about this all 13 00:00:37,520 --> 00:00:41,960 Speaker 3: over New Hampshire by voters. But Axios had a story 14 00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:45,920 Speaker 3: out that said there are three primary contenders for the VP. 15 00:00:46,720 --> 00:00:51,080 Speaker 3: They mentioned Nicki Haley, they mentioned Elise Stefanic, and they 16 00:00:51,159 --> 00:00:55,160 Speaker 3: mentioned Senator JD Vance of Ohio. So look, you're not 17 00:00:55,240 --> 00:00:59,040 Speaker 3: on the role necessarily that Southeast Michigan is. But given 18 00:00:59,080 --> 00:01:01,560 Speaker 3: the Lions or in the end NFC Championship in Michigan 19 00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:03,600 Speaker 3: won the championship, which I know you hate because you're 20 00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:06,680 Speaker 3: an Ohio state guy, but you got elected to the 21 00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:10,520 Speaker 3: Senate in November at twenty twenty two and now Axio 22 00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:12,839 Speaker 3: says you're one of the three finalists for the VP. 23 00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:15,120 Speaker 2: So are you going to be the next VP or not? 24 00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:19,360 Speaker 4: You have to ask Donald Trump. Look, I'm extremely skeptical 25 00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:22,720 Speaker 4: of these rumors at this early stage. I actually really 26 00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:25,280 Speaker 4: agree with Donald Trump that the VP actually doesn't matter 27 00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:27,679 Speaker 4: that much politically. Of course, it matters a lot in governance. 28 00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:29,920 Speaker 4: So I don't think anybody really votes for VP. They 29 00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:32,640 Speaker 4: vote for Joe Biden or Donald Trump, and hopefully they 30 00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:35,720 Speaker 4: vote for Donald Trump. I mean the question of like, 31 00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:39,400 Speaker 4: am I interested? As I've said to many people, including 32 00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:41,720 Speaker 4: I think you guys, I'll tell the President however I can, 33 00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:43,640 Speaker 4: because I think it's important that we re elect him. 34 00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:45,959 Speaker 4: I think one of the most important ways he needs 35 00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:49,160 Speaker 4: close allies is actually not just as a vice president, 36 00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:51,040 Speaker 4: but as a US Senator. And so I think it's 37 00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:52,400 Speaker 4: a really important role for me to play in the 38 00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:54,400 Speaker 4: United States Senate, for the people of Ohio and for 39 00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:57,000 Speaker 4: the agenda that we all care about. But look, when 40 00:01:57,000 --> 00:01:59,280 Speaker 4: the President makes that decision, if it's me, then I'll 41 00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:02,160 Speaker 4: certainly be extremely interested in it, will deal with it. 42 00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:06,200 Speaker 5: Then exactly what we would expect the next vice president 43 00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:10,560 Speaker 5: to say Clay, Yes, exactly so JD though you know 44 00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:16,880 Speaker 5: we have Nikky Haley still technically at Rohnda Santis out. 45 00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:21,680 Speaker 5: How do you think this is going to play out now? 46 00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:23,959 Speaker 5: I mean, we're we're getting you know, we're getting to 47 00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:28,040 Speaker 5: the point where the polls for Democrats are looking bleak. 48 00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:30,720 Speaker 5: Trump is clearly going to be the nominee. 49 00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:31,400 Speaker 6: Uh. 50 00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:34,960 Speaker 5: Do you think that they just try the Donald Trump 51 00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:37,920 Speaker 5: inside it insurrection strategy with all the legal stuff and 52 00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:40,880 Speaker 5: they stay with Joe Biden? Do you think that there's 53 00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:43,040 Speaker 5: still some kind of a plan? I mean between now 54 00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:46,040 Speaker 5: and when voters are deciding what what are you keeping 55 00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:46,440 Speaker 5: an eye on? 56 00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:50,200 Speaker 4: Well, I think a big question. It's always hard to 57 00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:52,120 Speaker 4: analyze this stuff when you're kind of in the inside 58 00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:53,680 Speaker 4: of it. Obviously, I've been a big ally of the 59 00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:57,440 Speaker 4: president during the early stages of this primary. But you know, 60 00:02:57,560 --> 00:03:01,400 Speaker 4: I think that this thing is over. I think the 61 00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:05,000 Speaker 4: really the big question is whether we continue to fight 62 00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:08,160 Speaker 4: a useless primary fight through Super Tuesday or whether the 63 00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:10,640 Speaker 4: voters in New Hampshire put it away tomorrow. Because I 64 00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:12,600 Speaker 4: think that there's a small enough Trump victory and I 65 00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:15,239 Speaker 4: think Trump will win tomorrow. Then the media and the 66 00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:17,799 Speaker 4: pun men say, Nikki Haley's donors will say, well, let's 67 00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:20,000 Speaker 4: put another one hundred million dollars behind this thing attacking 68 00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:22,760 Speaker 4: Donald Trump. That won't change whether he's the nominee. It 69 00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:25,880 Speaker 4: will wink in the Republican Party going into the Noover election. 70 00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:28,400 Speaker 4: How do I think this thing plays out in the 71 00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:31,040 Speaker 4: general election? I mean, look, I think Trump definitely has 72 00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:33,720 Speaker 4: the edge here. Obviously, they will throw everything that they've 73 00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:35,840 Speaker 4: ever thrown at it. But the thing about Trump is 74 00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:38,200 Speaker 4: he's not and this is one of the huge advantages 75 00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:41,080 Speaker 4: he always had of Arona Santas and Hailey. I made 76 00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:43,520 Speaker 4: this point on Fox News yesterday. But people say that 77 00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:46,920 Speaker 4: Trump has baggage, Well, everybody has baggage. The question is 78 00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:51,800 Speaker 4: whether you survived the media onslaught attacking you over everything 79 00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:54,600 Speaker 4: that you've done and everything in fact haven't done. And 80 00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:57,320 Speaker 4: I think Trump's ability to show resilience in the face 81 00:03:57,320 --> 00:04:00,280 Speaker 4: of those political attacks means that they're going to throw everything. Adam, 82 00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:02,280 Speaker 4: I don't know that it's really going to matter. I 83 00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:03,680 Speaker 4: don't know if you guys saw this. There was a 84 00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:07,120 Speaker 4: Harvard poll today, which has not been especially pro Trump polls, 85 00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:10,160 Speaker 4: so they're pretty good pollster. They had Trump beating Biden 86 00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:12,880 Speaker 4: by six points, which is just a huge margin for 87 00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:15,640 Speaker 4: modern times. But then they asked the question, if he 88 00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:20,599 Speaker 4: is convicted of mishandling classified documents, what say you? Then? 89 00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:23,239 Speaker 4: And again he was up fifty three forty seven against 90 00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:26,480 Speaker 4: Joe Biden. So I think there's evidence here that all 91 00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:29,360 Speaker 4: of this stuff is baked in, and this is fundamentally 92 00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:32,239 Speaker 4: a referendum on the failed policies of Joe Biden against 93 00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:34,880 Speaker 4: the successful ones with Donald Trump. That's an election we 94 00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:36,120 Speaker 4: can win as Republicans. 95 00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:39,600 Speaker 3: All right, let's dive into what's going on at our 96 00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:43,360 Speaker 3: southern border and also what's going on in Ukraine and 97 00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:46,920 Speaker 3: the attempt to connect the two, which we are not allowed. 98 00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:50,680 Speaker 3: Not big fans of obviously on this program, but you've 99 00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:52,599 Speaker 3: been paying attention to what's going on on the ground 100 00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:55,800 Speaker 3: in Ukraine. Where are we headed there? And also what 101 00:04:55,839 --> 00:04:57,679 Speaker 3: do you think is going to happen at our southern 102 00:04:57,720 --> 00:05:01,039 Speaker 3: border and what should happen? Break down the scenario sports 103 00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:03,520 Speaker 3: as you see it playing out. 104 00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:06,320 Speaker 4: So briefly on Ukraine, total quagmire. The Ukrainians at this 105 00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:09,400 Speaker 4: point are not making real advances. Another sixty one billion 106 00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:11,400 Speaker 4: dollars isn't going to do anything other than kill a 107 00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:13,880 Speaker 4: lot more people at risk of bigger escalation on the 108 00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:16,880 Speaker 4: southern border. We know what a disaster. It is. The 109 00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:19,360 Speaker 4: one additional thing I've been talking about a lot the 110 00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:21,960 Speaker 4: last couple of weeks because I just learned this myself. 111 00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:23,839 Speaker 4: I didn't realize how big of a problem this is. 112 00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:26,760 Speaker 4: Do you know that because the way that they count 113 00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:31,279 Speaker 4: illegal immigrants in the census, California has five congressional seats. 114 00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:34,600 Speaker 4: It wouldn't have if the illegal immigration numbers were zero 115 00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:38,359 Speaker 4: in this country. So we're actually talking about stealing the 116 00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:42,520 Speaker 4: democratic legitimacy away from American citizens when you bring into 117 00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:46,520 Speaker 4: aliens give them congressional representation at the expense of the 118 00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:50,160 Speaker 4: American people. This is a huge, huge crisis of legitimacy 119 00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:53,200 Speaker 4: for our entire country. So look what's going on in 120 00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:57,240 Speaker 4: Washington is that leadership, and I say in both parties, 121 00:05:57,760 --> 00:06:01,320 Speaker 4: is trying to pair these packages where we're Republicans allegedly 122 00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:05,200 Speaker 4: get border security and Democrats get money for Ukraine. What 123 00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:07,919 Speaker 4: is going to happen in reality if this package passes 124 00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:12,200 Speaker 4: is a massive amount of amnesty, no realistic border security, 125 00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:14,760 Speaker 4: and the Democrats get everything they want on Ukraine. It's 126 00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:19,240 Speaker 4: a horrendous deal for Republicans. And it's exactly why Donald Trump, 127 00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:22,000 Speaker 4: it's such an important figure in our party to begin with. 128 00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:25,080 Speaker 4: Why do we keep on making these terrible deals where 129 00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:28,719 Speaker 4: our voters get nothing, they get everything, and we wonder 130 00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:30,839 Speaker 4: why our voters are so pissed off all the time. 131 00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:33,560 Speaker 4: It's exactly because of what's going on in DC. Now, 132 00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:36,320 Speaker 4: final point I'll make on this. We have been told 133 00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:38,280 Speaker 4: to expect to vote on this thing in a week 134 00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:42,120 Speaker 4: or two. Immigration law is very complicated. It is Monday. 135 00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:46,279 Speaker 4: I still haven't seen text on this thing. And importantly, 136 00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:49,800 Speaker 4: if they really wanted to trade border for Ukraine, they 137 00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:53,200 Speaker 4: could say, we'll give you Ukraine money, Joe Biden, if 138 00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:55,839 Speaker 4: you get a legal border crossings to zero. The fact 139 00:06:55,880 --> 00:06:58,240 Speaker 4: that they're not willing to make that trade suggest this 140 00:06:58,279 --> 00:07:01,560 Speaker 4: isn't about border security, is all about providing political cover 141 00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:03,200 Speaker 4: for Ukraine, JD. 142 00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:07,400 Speaker 5: When you're talking about Ukraine, you know, I saw Nikki 143 00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:10,600 Speaker 5: Haley making this argument recently, and it's one that you 144 00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:14,680 Speaker 5: still catch in some quarters of the GOPS. Certainly, it's 145 00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:18,400 Speaker 5: very common for the Biden administration, whether it's top officials 146 00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:21,520 Speaker 5: or members of the Senate, where they say, if we 147 00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:26,080 Speaker 5: don't stop Russia in Ukraine, next is and they start 148 00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:28,680 Speaker 5: rattling off you know, Poland and all these NATO countries. 149 00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:31,480 Speaker 5: If Russia is having I mean, you were a military guy. 150 00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:35,680 Speaker 5: If Russia is having this much trouble in Ukraine, why 151 00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:38,360 Speaker 5: would anyone think that their next move would be to 152 00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:41,880 Speaker 5: trigger NATO Article five and to start invading other countries 153 00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:45,160 Speaker 5: with more sophisticated defense systems. I don't get that argument. 154 00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:48,320 Speaker 4: Well, you don't get that argument because it's a terrible argument. 155 00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:50,920 Speaker 4: It doesn't make any sense. Russia can't, as you say, 156 00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:53,720 Speaker 4: handle Ukraine. They're certainly not going to invade a much 157 00:07:53,760 --> 00:07:59,040 Speaker 4: stronger country like Poland or go further further west into Europe. 158 00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:01,239 Speaker 4: The other thing that this arg it really gets wrong 159 00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:05,560 Speaker 4: is whether China or some other country is emboldened by 160 00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:09,640 Speaker 4: the United States's conduct is fundamentally a question of our strength. 161 00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:13,240 Speaker 4: You know, the old foreign policy wisdom is that deterrence 162 00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:19,000 Speaker 4: equals resolved plus capability. Now our capability is significantly weakened. 163 00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:21,280 Speaker 4: You guys have heard me say this. Our number of 164 00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:24,160 Speaker 4: missile systems is down to dangerous levels, Our number of 165 00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:27,240 Speaker 4: artillery shells is down to dangerous levels. So the more 166 00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:31,560 Speaker 4: that we keep shifting needed weapons systems into Ukraine, the 167 00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:36,160 Speaker 4: further we weaken our own capability. That weakness, that lack 168 00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:38,920 Speaker 4: of capability, is what's going to invite the next attack. 169 00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:42,839 Speaker 4: So if we want to prevent a major world historical 170 00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:46,160 Speaker 4: invasion in Taiwan or somewhere else, the best thing we 171 00:08:46,160 --> 00:08:48,840 Speaker 4: can do is stop throwing our weapons and money into 172 00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:52,000 Speaker 4: Ukraine and preserve it for the next crisis, because whatever 173 00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:53,800 Speaker 4: that crisis is, we know it will hump happen. 174 00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:57,000 Speaker 3: How do you think Joe Biden would respond if China 175 00:08:57,000 --> 00:08:57,840 Speaker 3: invaded Taiwan. 176 00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:01,800 Speaker 4: It's a very good question. I thought about a lot. 177 00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:03,640 Speaker 4: I have no idea. I think that what he would 178 00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:08,480 Speaker 4: probably do is overreact in an incredibly stupid way. I 179 00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:12,280 Speaker 4: think that he would try to do something big. It 180 00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:14,960 Speaker 4: would not be well thought out, it would fail, It 181 00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:17,079 Speaker 4: might even kill a lot of Americans in the process, 182 00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:21,280 Speaker 4: and it wouldn't deter the Chinese. That the reason I 183 00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:25,200 Speaker 4: say that Biden might overreact here is because the real 184 00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:27,640 Speaker 4: deterrence that we have right now with China is right 185 00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:31,080 Speaker 4: now we should be giving the Taiwanese every single weapons 186 00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:33,600 Speaker 4: system they might need to fight off in an invasion. 187 00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:36,440 Speaker 4: Biden is failing to do that in some cases because 188 00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:41,240 Speaker 4: he's giving needed weapons in Ukraine, meaning that the weapons 189 00:09:41,280 --> 00:09:43,959 Speaker 4: of Taiwanese needs, he's giving them to Ukraine. So my 190 00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:48,520 Speaker 4: sense is that he will do something really big, really unpredictable, 191 00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:50,640 Speaker 4: because he knows that it will be his fault of 192 00:09:50,760 --> 00:09:53,200 Speaker 4: the Chinese indade Taiwan. But I don't know, man, Your 193 00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:55,199 Speaker 4: guess is as good as mine. I think it's really 194 00:09:55,240 --> 00:09:58,719 Speaker 4: important that we deter the Chinese now rather than pick 195 00:09:58,800 --> 00:10:00,760 Speaker 4: up the pieces if God forbid and bay Taiwan. 196 00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:04,000 Speaker 3: You mentioned a little bit earlier, and I agree with 197 00:10:04,040 --> 00:10:06,960 Speaker 3: you that Trump is baked in. It's really hard to 198 00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:09,200 Speaker 3: find something new that you're going to rip Trump on 199 00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:11,840 Speaker 3: or even really move people off what they think of 200 00:10:11,880 --> 00:10:15,320 Speaker 3: Trump for better or worse. And people like Trump and 201 00:10:15,320 --> 00:10:18,360 Speaker 3: his presidency more than they liked Biden. Story came out 202 00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:20,600 Speaker 3: in the Daily Mail that Buck and I talked a 203 00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:23,760 Speaker 3: lot about, not because it should impact the way that 204 00:10:23,880 --> 00:10:27,160 Speaker 3: you vote necessarily, but just because it's indicative that a 205 00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:29,880 Speaker 3: lot of Nicki Haley's past is not known very well. 206 00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:32,080 Speaker 3: Front page story on the New York Times that I 207 00:10:32,120 --> 00:10:34,600 Speaker 3: was reading this morning is prep JD talking about how 208 00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:37,160 Speaker 3: Nicki Haley really had no money at all, and then 209 00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:39,640 Speaker 3: when she got involved in politics, she started to make 210 00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:42,520 Speaker 3: a lot of money. You know, that's a story as 211 00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:45,040 Speaker 3: old as time. But when you look at the story 212 00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:47,640 Speaker 3: that came out from the Daily Mail about supposedly multiple 213 00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:52,120 Speaker 3: affairs affidavits, New York Times Today coming out and saying, hey, 214 00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:54,600 Speaker 3: you know, she's got a little bit of an impropriety 215 00:10:54,640 --> 00:10:56,960 Speaker 3: in her past in terms of how she made money. 216 00:10:57,280 --> 00:11:01,160 Speaker 3: Have they really Democrats opened up the antie Nikki Haley 217 00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:03,960 Speaker 3: file yet or do you think in general they're protecting 218 00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:07,280 Speaker 3: her and waiting and they'll do They would just unleash 219 00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:10,280 Speaker 3: like crazy if she actually became a nominee, Because one 220 00:11:10,280 --> 00:11:11,880 Speaker 3: of the arguments you'll hear, and I'm sure you've heard 221 00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:14,280 Speaker 3: it a lot, is oh, she'll pull better than Trump 222 00:11:14,360 --> 00:11:16,560 Speaker 3: and some of these swing states. Do you buy that 223 00:11:16,840 --> 00:11:20,040 Speaker 3: or is the OPO file really not unleashed on her yet? 224 00:11:20,920 --> 00:11:24,160 Speaker 4: We've seen the tivity, Tivioty Iceberg guys, and they will 225 00:11:24,160 --> 00:11:26,640 Speaker 4: throw everything that they have at her if if some 226 00:11:26,840 --> 00:11:29,559 Speaker 4: you know, active god happened and she became the nominee. 227 00:11:30,040 --> 00:11:32,480 Speaker 4: This argument that she does not have baggage, I think 228 00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:34,880 Speaker 4: completely ignores what you guys just said. There was the 229 00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:37,959 Speaker 4: store in the Daily Mail, there's all of her business dealings. 230 00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:40,320 Speaker 4: I mean, she sat on the board of Boeing while 231 00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:42,760 Speaker 4: Boeing seems to not be able to make airplanes that 232 00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:45,200 Speaker 4: can stay in the sky, and she made millions of dollars. 233 00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:48,200 Speaker 4: Like what expertise did she bring to the table other 234 00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:51,680 Speaker 4: than political connections? You know, you start to dig into 235 00:11:51,720 --> 00:11:53,640 Speaker 4: that stuff and it's going to turn a lot of 236 00:11:53,720 --> 00:11:56,480 Speaker 4: voters off. And then you layer on the media complex 237 00:11:56,920 --> 00:11:59,840 Speaker 4: and the hundreds of millions of dollars of Probiden super 238 00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:03,240 Speaker 4: going after her. The idea that she comes out of 239 00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:05,600 Speaker 4: that in a better position than Donald Trump. I think 240 00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:10,800 Speaker 4: it's laughable. You're talking about a person who's advantage at 241 00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:13,680 Speaker 4: all over Biden. I think it's based on a mirage 242 00:12:13,720 --> 00:12:16,360 Speaker 4: that people just don't know her past, good or bad, 243 00:12:16,480 --> 00:12:18,720 Speaker 4: yet that Democrats are going to throw everything they have 244 00:12:18,840 --> 00:12:21,840 Speaker 4: at her, whereas Trump's advantage over Biden is based on 245 00:12:21,880 --> 00:12:24,640 Speaker 4: I mean, he's the most well known figure literally in 246 00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:27,760 Speaker 4: the entire country. The idea that you can knock him 247 00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:30,760 Speaker 4: down a peg with attack ads is ridiculous. In fact, 248 00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:34,480 Speaker 4: one of the reasons why people underestimated his chances in Iowa. 249 00:12:34,880 --> 00:12:36,719 Speaker 4: Is they thought, you know, when the super PACs really 250 00:12:36,760 --> 00:12:38,760 Speaker 4: went after him, Trump was gonna get knocked down. Well, 251 00:12:38,920 --> 00:12:41,720 Speaker 4: everybody knows what they think about Trump, good and bad. 252 00:12:42,080 --> 00:12:44,320 Speaker 4: You can't really knock the guy down at this point. 253 00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:49,320 Speaker 5: JD vans everybody. JD Senator Vance, appreciate you being with us. 254 00:12:49,880 --> 00:12:50,760 Speaker 4: Thanks guys, think Eric. 255 00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:54,959 Speaker 5: Look, good workouts aren't supposed to be easy.

Look, it's a beautifully shot show. 288 00:14:28,720 --> 00:14:30,720 Speaker 5: I think the Royal Family's absurd, but it is pretty 289 00:14:30,800 --> 00:14:32,440 Speaker 5: entertaining the whole thing. But I bring it up because 290 00:14:32,440 --> 00:14:37,120 Speaker 5: there's a scene where Queen Elizabeth Claire Foy, right, that's 291 00:14:37,120 --> 00:14:39,240 Speaker 5: the actress Am I right is I. 292 00:14:39,160 --> 00:14:42,440 Speaker 3: Don't know, she's amazing. I can't believe that we're both 293 00:14:42,440 --> 00:14:44,160 Speaker 3: going to brag on how good the Crown is. I 294 00:14:44,200 --> 00:14:47,680 Speaker 3: finished season six and I already admitted that I teared 295 00:14:47,760 --> 00:14:49,360 Speaker 3: up when Princess died dies. 296 00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:51,920 Speaker 5: Carrie wanted to skip ahead to season six, and I 297 00:14:51,960 --> 00:14:54,520 Speaker 5: told her, no, we have to earn our Diannasys and 298 00:14:54,560 --> 00:14:56,600 Speaker 5: we can't just go right to the Dinasyas. And that's 299 00:14:56,600 --> 00:14:59,120 Speaker 5: not how this goes. So we're watching a piece by piece, 300 00:14:59,160 --> 00:15:02,160 Speaker 5: but there's a scene where where Elizabeth says, and I 301 00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:04,400 Speaker 5: think it's I don't know if it was to Anthony. 302 00:15:04,440 --> 00:15:07,440 Speaker 5: I can't remember if it was to Anthony Eden, who 303 00:15:07,520 --> 00:15:10,080 Speaker 5: was the Prime Minister, took over after Churchill and then 304 00:15:10,120 --> 00:15:15,040 Speaker 5: had the terrible, you know, blunder of the Suez crisis. 305 00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:17,800 Speaker 5: But anyway, she says, sometimes the best thing to do 306 00:15:18,040 --> 00:15:21,240 Speaker 5: is nothing. And she said that, and I was like, 307 00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:23,520 Speaker 5: you know who doesn't get enough credit for making a 308 00:15:23,560 --> 00:15:29,080 Speaker 5: smart move in this primary? Our buddy Glenn Youngkin from Virginia. 309 00:15:29,240 --> 00:15:33,840 Speaker 7: Didn't decide to just run into the bus, didn't want 310 00:15:33,880 --> 00:15:37,600 Speaker 7: to didn't want to hop into the political mails from 311 00:15:37,800 --> 00:15:41,200 Speaker 7: of Maga World recognized I think not his time, because 312 00:15:41,200 --> 00:15:42,600 Speaker 7: there was a lot of talk about it. 313 00:15:42,600 --> 00:15:45,360 Speaker 2: Remember at one point, at one point he. 314 00:15:45,400 --> 00:15:48,040 Speaker 5: Was the you know, the the sort of super secret 315 00:15:48,080 --> 00:15:50,160 Speaker 5: special candidate who was going to come in and rock 316 00:15:50,240 --> 00:15:53,720 Speaker 5: the whole race. No, he's happy to just keep running Virginia, 317 00:15:53,800 --> 00:15:56,400 Speaker 5: doing a good job. But I'm telling you, you're talking 318 00:15:56,400 --> 00:15:59,280 Speaker 5: about people that are gonna run for president before next 319 00:15:59,360 --> 00:16:04,160 Speaker 5: cycle when there won't be a Trump phenomenon. Glenn Youngkin's 320 00:16:04,200 --> 00:16:06,560 Speaker 5: running for president but doing nothing for him this cycle. 321 00:16:07,120 --> 00:16:08,160 Speaker 5: Definitely the right move. 322 00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:11,960 Speaker 3: Great call, great call. He hasn't wounded himself in any way. 323 00:16:12,640 --> 00:16:16,640 Speaker 3: It's a little bit like coming back for your senior year. 324 00:16:17,520 --> 00:16:19,600 Speaker 3: You could have been a first round draft pick. You 325 00:16:19,600 --> 00:16:22,760 Speaker 3: think about it in a sports analogy. After your junior season, 326 00:16:22,800 --> 00:16:25,320 Speaker 3: you come back for your senior year and you don't 327 00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:27,840 Speaker 3: have a great year. Sometimes you can go from a 328 00:16:27,840 --> 00:16:30,280 Speaker 3: definite first round draft pick to you know, number one 329 00:16:30,320 --> 00:16:33,160 Speaker 3: overall pick, potentially fall down a little bit depending on 330 00:16:33,200 --> 00:16:37,280 Speaker 3: how exactly things go. Having said all of that, there 331 00:16:37,320 --> 00:16:41,200 Speaker 3: are going to be over twenty candidates. I can't even imagine. 332 00:16:41,240 --> 00:16:43,640 Speaker 3: I mean, there'll be a lot of Democrats, too, but 333 00:16:44,320 --> 00:16:47,720 Speaker 3: it's going to be the twenty twenty eight field. Presuming 334 00:16:47,760 --> 00:16:50,000 Speaker 3: again that we get Trump v. Biden if that is 335 00:16:50,040 --> 00:16:53,240 Speaker 3: the run, regardless, both of those guys whoever wins, would 336 00:16:53,240 --> 00:16:55,400 Speaker 3: be incumbented out. The other guy I think would be 337 00:16:55,440 --> 00:16:57,600 Speaker 3: too old to be involved at all in twenty eight. 338 00:16:59,160 --> 00:17:01,720 Speaker 3: Although there's people out there already saying, well, if Trump 339 00:17:01,760 --> 00:17:04,399 Speaker 3: were losing twenty four, he might decide to run, just need. 340 00:17:04,359 --> 00:17:07,160 Speaker 2: One more chance after that, just one more chance. 341 00:17:07,119 --> 00:17:08,960 Speaker 3: And then he would be whatever, he's eighty one or 342 00:17:08,960 --> 00:17:12,040 Speaker 3: eighty two, he's actually then the age that Biden is now. 343 00:17:12,119 --> 00:17:13,920 Speaker 3: I think that's not true. I think this is it. 344 00:17:13,960 --> 00:17:17,240 Speaker 3: Twenty four, it'll be clear, both decks will be clear, 345 00:17:17,359 --> 00:17:22,200 Speaker 3: new generational running, and that'll start by Honestly, I think 346 00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:25,960 Speaker 3: it'll overshadow the midterms in twenty six. I think there 347 00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:28,520 Speaker 3: will be a lot of people out there already turning 348 00:17:28,520 --> 00:17:30,800 Speaker 3: the page to what are the primary season gonna look 349 00:17:30,840 --> 00:17:35,320 Speaker 3: like for twenty twenty seven and moving into twenty twenty eight, 350 00:17:35,359 --> 00:17:36,280 Speaker 3: it's gonna be crazy. 351 00:17:36,320 --> 00:17:36,840 Speaker 2: And I think you're right. 352 00:17:36,880 --> 00:17:40,320 Speaker 3: Glynn Youngn'll be in that mix, Uh, gad Ron DeSantis 353 00:17:40,320 --> 00:17:41,680 Speaker 3: will be in the mix, and Hey Haley will be 354 00:17:41,760 --> 00:17:44,640 Speaker 3: in the mix.

That's gonna be the 358 00:17:52,640 --> 00:17:55,840 Speaker 3: real turn of the generational page.

We're rolling through the Monday edition 383 00:19:03,640 --> 00:19:08,040 Speaker 3: of theme of the program Primary Eve in New Hampshire. 384 00:19:08,560 --> 00:19:10,280 Speaker 2: We'll certainly be breaking that down for you. 385 00:19:10,640 --> 00:19:12,639 Speaker 3: What's part of the rest of this show tomorrow and 386 00:19:12,680 --> 00:19:15,760 Speaker 3: then Wednesday we'll be talking about the actual results as always, 387 00:19:16,240 --> 00:19:19,640 Speaker 3: granted staters, I'll get it right this time. Everybody out there, 388 00:19:20,080 --> 00:19:22,400 Speaker 3: go vote, and I want to tie this in. We'll 389 00:19:22,440 --> 00:19:24,239 Speaker 3: talk some more about this in the third hour. The 390 00:19:24,320 --> 00:19:27,159 Speaker 3: Lawfair that is going on. We got an email from 391 00:19:27,200 --> 00:19:31,800 Speaker 3: a VIP and sometimes VIPs asked this question, and so 392 00:19:32,359 --> 00:19:34,400 Speaker 3: I want to talk about Fonnie Willis and what's going 393 00:19:34,400 --> 00:19:36,080 Speaker 3: on in Georgia in particularly. 394 00:19:36,119 --> 00:19:37,320 Speaker 2: We got some audio for you. 395 00:19:37,640 --> 00:19:40,640 Speaker 3: But Mike wrote in and said, if the left truly 396 00:19:40,680 --> 00:19:44,000 Speaker 3: wanted to run against Trump, why the lawfair? 397 00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:48,360 Speaker 2: That makes no sense. I disagree completely. 398 00:19:50,160 --> 00:19:53,480 Speaker 3: If you buy into the lawfair argument, which I think 399 00:19:53,520 --> 00:19:58,000 Speaker 3: Buck does. I know, I do the analysis, and we 400 00:19:58,240 --> 00:20:00,320 Speaker 3: were I think if you went back and listen the 401 00:20:00,359 --> 00:20:02,960 Speaker 3: first time that mar A Lago got raided, what was 402 00:20:02,960 --> 00:20:05,359 Speaker 3: that like August of twenty twenty two, Buck, when they 403 00:20:05,359 --> 00:20:07,720 Speaker 3: did the first mar A Lago raid, something like that, 404 00:20:08,800 --> 00:20:11,600 Speaker 3: and they went and tried to grab the classified documents. 405 00:20:11,840 --> 00:20:13,760 Speaker 3: I remember we came on and you saw an immediate 406 00:20:13,800 --> 00:20:18,240 Speaker 3: spike in support for Trump, but there wasn't until the 407 00:20:18,359 --> 00:20:21,800 Speaker 3: charges were filed in March of twenty twenty three by 408 00:20:21,840 --> 00:20:24,600 Speaker 3: Alvin Bragg who filed the first charges. And then in 409 00:20:24,640 --> 00:20:29,480 Speaker 3: short order we had the South Florida charges, the DC charges, 410 00:20:29,560 --> 00:20:31,680 Speaker 3: and the Atlanta charges, and I'll talk about the Atlanta 411 00:20:31,880 --> 00:20:36,439 Speaker 3: and Fawnie Willis. Just shortly the data was clear that 412 00:20:36,560 --> 00:20:41,280 Speaker 3: Republicans would rally around Trump. So I don't think there's 413 00:20:41,359 --> 00:20:45,920 Speaker 3: any doubt that Democrats made the calculated decision. They thought 414 00:20:45,960 --> 00:20:49,400 Speaker 3: it was a good move politically to go after Donald 415 00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:52,359 Speaker 3: Trump in an election year when it came to the 416 00:20:52,480 --> 00:20:55,919 Speaker 3: general election, and that it was likely to aid his 417 00:20:56,080 --> 00:21:01,280 Speaker 3: campaign in the primary. And so I don't think there 418 00:21:01,359 --> 00:21:05,359 Speaker 3: is any doubt at all that the Biden administration made 419 00:21:05,400 --> 00:21:08,359 Speaker 3: the choice that they want to run against Donald Trump. 420 00:21:09,280 --> 00:21:11,399 Speaker 3: That's the reason for all these charges. They knew it 421 00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:14,159 Speaker 3: would strengthen him in the Republican primary, and they believed 422 00:21:14,200 --> 00:21:16,840 Speaker 3: it would weaken him in the general. Now, what Buck 423 00:21:16,840 --> 00:21:18,439 Speaker 3: and I have been talking about for a while is 424 00:21:18,720 --> 00:21:20,120 Speaker 3: the data may not reflect that. 425 00:21:20,119 --> 00:21:20,720 Speaker 2: That's true. 426 00:21:21,080 --> 00:21:22,880 Speaker 3: We'll get into that a little bit in the third hour, 427 00:21:23,040 --> 00:21:26,840 Speaker 3: but that is the question of the election now. And 428 00:21:27,160 --> 00:21:29,000 Speaker 3: by the way, I'm not sure that they're even going 429 00:21:29,040 --> 00:21:31,280 Speaker 3: to be able to get any of these court cases done. 430 00:21:32,080 --> 00:21:35,240 Speaker 3: But they believe that if they get a conviction on Trump, 431 00:21:35,680 --> 00:21:39,399 Speaker 3: that that will weaken Trump with independent voters, with swing 432 00:21:39,480 --> 00:21:43,400 Speaker 3: voters in the swing states, and that would propel Biden 433 00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:46,080 Speaker 3: or another Democrat in the event that it's not Biden 434 00:21:46,400 --> 00:21:49,280 Speaker 3: to election in twenty twenty four. That is the political 435 00:21:49,359 --> 00:21:53,919 Speaker 3: gamble that they are making, and Republicans are making the 436 00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:56,600 Speaker 3: choice to put Trump in Now, we'll never know, maybe 437 00:21:56,600 --> 00:22:00,080 Speaker 3: there's a multiverse out there, what the impact of the 438 00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:04,200 Speaker 3: Republican primary would have been if Democrats had never charged 439 00:22:04,240 --> 00:22:06,840 Speaker 3: Trump with any crime. I actually think it would have 440 00:22:06,840 --> 00:22:09,639 Speaker 3: been far more competitive and we may have ended up 441 00:22:09,640 --> 00:22:11,720 Speaker 3: with a different nominee if Trump were not charged with 442 00:22:11,760 --> 00:22:14,600 Speaker 3: the crime at all. Now, having said all that, Georgia, 443 00:22:14,720 --> 00:22:20,560 Speaker 3: it appears the state charges in Georgia are basically collapsing 444 00:22:20,720 --> 00:22:24,760 Speaker 3: in real time, as we told you, based on allegations 445 00:22:24,800 --> 00:22:28,879 Speaker 3: which now seem quite clear that Fawnie Willis decided to 446 00:22:29,080 --> 00:22:35,920 Speaker 3: hire her mister, her paramour, her lover, and paid him 447 00:22:35,960 --> 00:22:39,800 Speaker 3: six hundred and fifty thousand dollars in taxpayer funds. There 448 00:22:39,840 --> 00:22:42,560 Speaker 3: now has been evidence that comes out that shows all 449 00:22:42,600 --> 00:22:47,359 Speaker 3: of the money that was spent, the taxpayer dollars going 450 00:22:47,359 --> 00:22:50,800 Speaker 3: on vacations again, taxpayer dollars he was paid Twohortly. After 451 00:22:50,880 --> 00:22:54,320 Speaker 3: she was elected as the Fulton County DA, she said, 452 00:22:54,359 --> 00:22:58,560 Speaker 3: there's not going to be any inappropriate relationships in this 453 00:22:58,720 --> 00:23:00,000 Speaker 3: office while she's in charge. 454 00:23:00,160 --> 00:23:05,399 Speaker 8: So listen, supervisors under my leadership that are not encouraging 455 00:23:05,480 --> 00:23:08,600 Speaker 8: and building up my staff will not be supervisors long 456 00:23:08,600 --> 00:23:12,320 Speaker 8: in my administration, and I certainly will not be choosing 457 00:23:12,320 --> 00:23:15,159 Speaker 8: people to date that work under me. Let me just 458 00:23:15,200 --> 00:23:18,280 Speaker 8: say that I think that what citizens are really really 459 00:23:18,280 --> 00:23:22,760 Speaker 8: concerned about is if you chose to have inappropriate contact 460 00:23:22,800 --> 00:23:25,080 Speaker 8: with employees. I mean, there's nothing that I can say 461 00:23:25,080 --> 00:23:27,480 Speaker 8: on it other than it is distracting, and it is 462 00:23:27,480 --> 00:23:30,359 Speaker 8: certainly inappropriate for the number one law enforcement officer in 463 00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:33,520 Speaker 8: the state, and it just it really really saddens me, 464 00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:36,919 Speaker 8: and it will be very unfortunate if the taxpayers of 465 00:23:36,960 --> 00:23:40,160 Speaker 8: this community have to pay for any of those lawsuits. 466 00:23:41,560 --> 00:23:44,919 Speaker 3: Oh man, fuck that is she has done exactly what 467 00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:46,240 Speaker 3: she said would never happen. 468 00:23:47,359 --> 00:23:50,240 Speaker 2: I think it's it's clear that. 469 00:23:50,240 --> 00:23:55,040 Speaker 5: The Georgia trial of Donald Trump, the whole Rico thing, 470 00:23:55,560 --> 00:23:58,440 Speaker 5: it was a stretch to begin with. We always agreed 471 00:23:58,600 --> 00:24:00,359 Speaker 5: that that was one that you know, as soon as 472 00:24:00,400 --> 00:24:03,280 Speaker 5: it became clear they were nineteen defendants or eighteen defendants 473 00:24:03,359 --> 00:24:05,000 Speaker 5: or whatever it was going to be, they weren't going 474 00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:06,520 Speaker 5: to be able to get this done in time. Now, 475 00:24:06,880 --> 00:24:09,600 Speaker 5: I think part of the calculation there was always it 476 00:24:09,640 --> 00:24:14,520 Speaker 5: was politically advantageous for Fani Willis, regardless of the timeline. 477 00:24:15,080 --> 00:24:19,600 Speaker 5: And also they because it's state charges not federal charges, 478 00:24:19,880 --> 00:24:23,399 Speaker 5: theoretically they could wait until even after the election to 479 00:24:23,440 --> 00:24:25,359 Speaker 5: bring it all and they could still get Trump right. 480 00:24:25,359 --> 00:24:26,960 Speaker 5: I mean, and I know there's been some back and 481 00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:31,000 Speaker 5: forth on whether President could get rid of state charges 482 00:24:31,000 --> 00:24:34,560 Speaker 5: as well as federal charges. But anyway, what we have 483 00:24:34,720 --> 00:24:37,680 Speaker 5: now is the complete collapse of this whole thing, and 484 00:24:38,119 --> 00:24:41,400 Speaker 5: one of the problems with prosecutorial misconduct, and the reason 485 00:24:41,440 --> 00:24:45,679 Speaker 5: it has to be taken so seriously is that, especially 486 00:24:45,720 --> 00:24:49,640 Speaker 5: in a situation like this, you have multiple cases being 487 00:24:49,640 --> 00:24:52,600 Speaker 5: brought against an individual, the whole thing. 488 00:24:52,520 --> 00:24:53,120 Speaker 2: Just looks bad. 489 00:24:53,119 --> 00:24:55,480 Speaker 5: It's like, this is the kind of prosecutor that brings 490 00:24:55,520 --> 00:25:02,359 Speaker 5: a case against Donald Trump, somebody with this level of disconnect, 491 00:25:02,640 --> 00:25:06,159 Speaker 5: this kind of a compromise ethics on display. So to me, 492 00:25:07,240 --> 00:25:09,639 Speaker 5: this whole thing is falling apart. But it also is 493 00:25:09,680 --> 00:25:12,520 Speaker 5: a reminder that this was all a political hit. And 494 00:25:12,560 --> 00:25:14,960 Speaker 5: so I think that the the optics of this are 495 00:25:15,080 --> 00:25:17,680 Speaker 5: really bad for all of the Trump trials. Right, It's 496 00:25:17,720 --> 00:25:20,399 Speaker 5: more than just even the Fannie Willis trial, because, as 497 00:25:20,440 --> 00:25:22,240 Speaker 5: I've been saying all along, you just look at some 498 00:25:22,280 --> 00:25:24,479 Speaker 5: of these things without even knowing some of the details 499 00:25:24,480 --> 00:25:28,280 Speaker 5: of the case, Clay, all the charges are brought in 500 00:25:28,320 --> 00:25:30,439 Speaker 5: the election year. Really, they're They're gonna wait, so all 501 00:25:30,440 --> 00:25:33,440 Speaker 5: the trials happened the election year. Donald Trump is gonna 502 00:25:33,480 --> 00:25:35,879 Speaker 5: be you know, eighty before long, never charged with a 503 00:25:35,920 --> 00:25:37,960 Speaker 5: crime before in his life, all of a sudden, four 504 00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:40,960 Speaker 5: felony indictments. I mean, you just look at the percentages 505 00:25:40,960 --> 00:25:43,359 Speaker 5: of the numbers, and now you have really one of 506 00:25:43,400 --> 00:25:46,680 Speaker 5: the prosecutors bringing this is a clear partisan hack who 507 00:25:47,080 --> 00:25:48,439 Speaker 5: probably should lose their law. 508 00:25:48,359 --> 00:25:50,160 Speaker 2: License, you know what I mean. 509 00:25:50,359 --> 00:25:52,760 Speaker 5: I think that people look at this, normal people look 510 00:25:52,800 --> 00:25:55,040 Speaker 5: at this stuff, and they come away with the conclusions 511 00:25:55,320 --> 00:25:56,840 Speaker 5: that they should, which is that the whole thing is 512 00:25:56,840 --> 00:25:57,200 Speaker 5: a farce. 513 00:25:58,359 --> 00:25:58,639 Speaker 4: Yeah. 514 00:25:58,680 --> 00:26:03,960 Speaker 3: And again, even the New York Times, which tries to 515 00:26:04,040 --> 00:26:06,800 Speaker 3: ignore a lot of these stories, on the Sunday New 516 00:26:06,840 --> 00:26:10,880 Speaker 3: York Times had a front page story about Fawnie Willis. 517 00:26:10,520 --> 00:26:12,480 Speaker 2: And this relationship with Nathan Wade. 518 00:26:13,080 --> 00:26:16,480 Speaker 3: So I don't know when it's going to be officially 519 00:26:16,600 --> 00:26:19,680 Speaker 3: kicked to the curb. The story that would really open 520 00:26:19,720 --> 00:26:23,040 Speaker 3: a hornet's nest here Buck is now not the Atlantic case, 521 00:26:23,040 --> 00:26:25,879 Speaker 3: because I think Fawnie Willis, I think all that's falling apart, 522 00:26:26,040 --> 00:26:27,800 Speaker 3: she's going to have to step down. She may be 523 00:26:28,320 --> 00:26:31,439 Speaker 3: if she got charged with crimes, which I don't think. 524 00:26:31,440 --> 00:26:34,359 Speaker 3: It's crazy that she could be charged with crimes based 525 00:26:34,400 --> 00:26:38,639 Speaker 3: on hiring her lover paying him this much money, and 526 00:26:38,720 --> 00:26:42,159 Speaker 3: if he were charged as well. Again, and the argument 527 00:26:42,200 --> 00:26:45,119 Speaker 3: you could make is that she was profiting off of 528 00:26:45,240 --> 00:26:48,639 Speaker 3: taxpayer dollars by hiring him. I don't know what the 529 00:26:48,680 --> 00:26:51,720 Speaker 3: protocol is but I'm quite clear and certain that there 530 00:26:51,760 --> 00:26:53,520 Speaker 3: had to be some sort of protocol where you would 531 00:26:53,520 --> 00:26:57,359 Speaker 3: acknowledge if you were in a relationship with someone, especially 532 00:26:57,400 --> 00:27:00,240 Speaker 3: if you're in a supervisory role over that individual, that 533 00:27:00,359 --> 00:27:02,760 Speaker 3: is a big no no. And pretty much any company 534 00:27:02,760 --> 00:27:05,119 Speaker 3: in America you have to go. I mean some of 535 00:27:05,119 --> 00:27:07,120 Speaker 3: you out there listening may have been in this situation 536 00:27:07,160 --> 00:27:10,880 Speaker 3: before where you have to go to HR and say, hey, 537 00:27:10,920 --> 00:27:13,280 Speaker 3: we are dating. This is a situation that's going on, 538 00:27:13,400 --> 00:27:17,040 Speaker 3: so the company's aware of it. If there were criminal 539 00:27:17,080 --> 00:27:19,320 Speaker 3: charges brought against her, and I think there very well 540 00:27:19,320 --> 00:27:23,840 Speaker 3: could be. This could be a situation where all of 541 00:27:23,880 --> 00:27:30,640 Speaker 3: the behind the scenes, covert relationship between the Biden administration, 542 00:27:31,080 --> 00:27:33,880 Speaker 3: Department of Justice, and the way all these charges were 543 00:27:33,920 --> 00:27:37,000 Speaker 3: brought could go up and smoke in a big way. 544 00:27:37,400 --> 00:27:39,440 Speaker 3: And you and I have been saying to everybody out there, 545 00:27:39,880 --> 00:27:43,200 Speaker 3: commentators who dreamed of Trump going away to prison, looked 546 00:27:43,240 --> 00:27:45,399 Speaker 3: at the Alvin Bragg charges and said, this is the 547 00:27:45,400 --> 00:27:49,000 Speaker 3: biggest garbage that could possibly exist. So I think you 548 00:27:49,119 --> 00:27:53,440 Speaker 3: tossed that on the scrappy. The South Florida charges are 549 00:27:53,480 --> 00:27:56,959 Speaker 3: the most significant because there's almost a strict liability of 550 00:27:56,960 --> 00:28:00,359 Speaker 3: fens associated with these classified documents. Now Biden has his 551 00:28:00,400 --> 00:28:04,359 Speaker 3: own classified documents scandal, and the jury pool is way better, 552 00:28:04,840 --> 00:28:07,560 Speaker 3: so that to me is also kind of shunt it 553 00:28:07,600 --> 00:28:09,800 Speaker 3: off to the side. Plus it's not going to happen. 554 00:28:09,840 --> 00:28:13,240 Speaker 3: I don't think based on the timing before the actual election, 555 00:28:13,960 --> 00:28:18,199 Speaker 3: the Jack Smith case now becomes even more integral and 556 00:28:18,359 --> 00:28:21,480 Speaker 3: central to everything that the Biden administration is trying to do. 557 00:28:22,160 --> 00:28:25,600 Speaker 3: And so remember that case right now is scheduled for 558 00:28:25,720 --> 00:28:27,840 Speaker 3: March fifth. There's no way it's going to start on 559 00:28:27,920 --> 00:28:31,040 Speaker 3: March fifth. I don't think it could start until the summer. 560 00:28:31,600 --> 00:28:34,440 Speaker 3: But I wonder whether they're going to start the Alvin 561 00:28:34,480 --> 00:28:38,440 Speaker 3: Bragg case buck because that one seems to be potentially 562 00:28:38,480 --> 00:28:41,080 Speaker 3: the easiest to get going and then they take them 563 00:28:41,120 --> 00:28:44,520 Speaker 3: out of order that we're expecting right now. That's one 564 00:28:44,560 --> 00:28:47,000 Speaker 3: thing that I think if you're out there paying attention 565 00:28:47,040 --> 00:28:48,920 Speaker 3: to this law fair and trying to gain plan it, 566 00:28:49,440 --> 00:28:52,640 Speaker 3: I think the schedule now may shift to Alvin Bragg 567 00:28:52,720 --> 00:28:56,400 Speaker 3: bringing his super weak charges in New York State first, 568 00:28:57,400 --> 00:29:00,880 Speaker 3: and if that happens, we'll see how that impacts things. 569 00:29:00,920 --> 00:29:03,800 Speaker 3: But this is this is the story of the of 570 00:29:03,880 --> 00:29:06,680 Speaker 3: the entire election. Now, what if any is there going 571 00:29:06,720 --> 00:29:08,400 Speaker 3: to be an impact there. We'll take some of your 572 00:29:08,440 --> 00:29:10,160 Speaker 3: calls eight hundred and two A two two AA two. 573 00:29:10,200 --> 00:29:13,800 Speaker 3: In the meantime, Tunnel Towers Foundation supports America's greatest heroes. 574 00:29:13,840 --> 00:29:17,600 Speaker 3: These are our military service members and first responders who've 575 00:29:17,640 --> 00:29:21,040 Speaker 3: died or been become severely injured in the line of duty, 576 00:29:21,360 --> 00:29:24,400 Speaker 3: as well as homeless veterans.

Some thoughts on DeSantis, 615 00:31:23,920 --> 00:31:25,240 Speaker 5: Trump and more. What's going on, Jake? 616 00:31:26,040 --> 00:31:27,520 Speaker 4: Hey, how are we doing today? Well? 617 00:31:27,640 --> 00:31:31,200 Speaker 6: Good as a as a solid Trump supporter right from 618 00:31:31,240 --> 00:31:34,480 Speaker 6: the very start. This is I wished Ron de Santas 619 00:31:34,520 --> 00:31:36,320 Speaker 6: eight months ago would have said he was going to 620 00:31:36,320 --> 00:31:39,000 Speaker 6: be a vice president and then that way they could 621 00:31:39,000 --> 00:31:42,520 Speaker 6: have consolidated everybody from the start and there wouldn't be 622 00:31:42,560 --> 00:31:44,320 Speaker 6: any discussion about what was going to happen in twenty 623 00:31:44,360 --> 00:31:46,160 Speaker 6: twenty eight. Ron Desandas would have walked right into the 624 00:31:46,200 --> 00:31:48,960 Speaker 6: presidency after four years with Trump, and he could have 625 00:31:49,040 --> 00:31:51,960 Speaker 6: been quite an ally and they could work together rather 626 00:31:51,960 --> 00:31:52,880 Speaker 6: than against each other. 627 00:31:54,320 --> 00:31:55,560 Speaker 2: The child, thank you for the call. 628 00:31:55,600 --> 00:31:58,280 Speaker 3: And we had a lot of people arguing that for 629 00:31:59,120 --> 00:32:03,800 Speaker 3: a year or mo or before DeSantis officially announced the challenge. 630 00:32:03,800 --> 00:32:07,160 Speaker 3: With that, again, you get into some Eleventh Amendment issues 631 00:32:07,720 --> 00:32:12,960 Speaker 3: which involve both Trump and DeSantis being Florida residents when 632 00:32:13,000 --> 00:32:14,920 Speaker 3: Trump was still living in New York. This would not 633 00:32:14,960 --> 00:32:18,520 Speaker 3: have been an issue. DeSantis obviously is a Florida resident 634 00:32:18,560 --> 00:32:22,200 Speaker 3: because he's the governor. Having two people from the same 635 00:32:22,400 --> 00:32:28,120 Speaker 3: state potentially creates constitutional issues. Never happened before, and historically 636 00:32:28,160 --> 00:32:30,760 Speaker 3: you can think of why that was buck because in 637 00:32:30,800 --> 00:32:35,640 Speaker 3: the early days of our country there was concern every 638 00:32:35,680 --> 00:32:38,200 Speaker 3: state was like its own country, So there was concerns 639 00:32:38,560 --> 00:32:41,200 Speaker 3: that if the president and vice president both ended up 640 00:32:41,200 --> 00:32:44,760 Speaker 3: from the same state, it would be hard to manage 641 00:32:44,800 --> 00:32:49,920 Speaker 3: all of that. So that is what is going on 642 00:32:50,480 --> 00:32:54,360 Speaker 3: as it pertains to the idea of a DeSantis Trump VP. 643 00:32:54,920 --> 00:32:58,480 Speaker 5: There's Ron's not going to be Trump's VP. I think 644 00:32:58,560 --> 00:33:04,520 Speaker 5: there's I would be absolutely shocked beyond words. And I look, 645 00:33:05,080 --> 00:33:07,479 Speaker 5: I know some people that are pretty close in on 646 00:33:07,640 --> 00:33:11,560 Speaker 5: uh on DeSantis world as well as frump world, and uh, 647 00:33:11,720 --> 00:33:14,880 Speaker 5: that's that's definitely not something that we're all expecting. 648 00:33:15,120 --> 00:33:18,040 Speaker 2: Uh. David in Brainerd, Minnesota, what's going on? David? 649 00:33:20,040 --> 00:33:23,200 Speaker 9: Hey, guys, you know that that kid in high school 650 00:33:23,280 --> 00:33:25,560 Speaker 9: choir that stood next to you that was tone deaf, 651 00:33:26,040 --> 00:33:31,120 Speaker 9: couldn't carry a tune in a bucket. The instructor, the 652 00:33:31,200 --> 00:33:33,800 Speaker 9: choir director, does that kid a disservice that he tells 653 00:33:33,880 --> 00:33:37,280 Speaker 9: him or her that they're great and they're they're destined 654 00:33:37,320 --> 00:33:38,640 Speaker 9: for greatnesses of vocalist. 655 00:33:39,200 --> 00:33:40,840 Speaker 2: Did can I pause you here for a second? 656 00:33:40,840 --> 00:33:44,239 Speaker 3: I thought you were specifically calling me out because I 657 00:33:44,360 --> 00:33:48,640 Speaker 3: was in I'm tone deaf. I cannot sing my chorus 658 00:33:48,720 --> 00:33:50,680 Speaker 3: instructor when I was in high school. I don't know 659 00:33:50,680 --> 00:33:52,680 Speaker 3: if I told this on the show. Buck, you know 660 00:33:52,720 --> 00:33:55,360 Speaker 3: what the chorus instructor did. He walking around I was 661 00:33:55,360 --> 00:33:59,200 Speaker 3: a base. He told me you mouth the words now, 662 00:33:59,640 --> 00:34:01,880 Speaker 3: you would announce the song. You have a good voice. 663 00:34:02,280 --> 00:34:04,920 Speaker 3: You announced the songs that we are going to sing. 664 00:34:05,320 --> 00:34:07,920 Speaker 3: But I don't want you actually singing because you throw 665 00:34:08,000 --> 00:34:10,120 Speaker 3: off the rest of the basis. So when you just 666 00:34:10,200 --> 00:34:13,760 Speaker 3: called in James Skandrick, by the way, Rest in Peace 667 00:34:13,920 --> 00:34:17,000 Speaker 3: was my chorus instructor. When you just what he just 668 00:34:17,040 --> 00:34:19,000 Speaker 3: called in, Buck, I was like, wow, does he know 669 00:34:19,080 --> 00:34:21,719 Speaker 3: my entire singing career? So sorry to cut you off, 670 00:34:21,719 --> 00:34:23,920 Speaker 3: but you're literally talking about something that happened to me. 671 00:34:24,000 --> 00:34:25,680 Speaker 2: I couldn't sing. I have un toone death. 672 00:34:27,360 --> 00:34:29,600 Speaker 9: So that instructor would have done you at the service 673 00:34:29,840 --> 00:34:32,200 Speaker 9: play if he would have told you you were bound 674 00:34:32,239 --> 00:34:34,759 Speaker 9: for good things as a vocalist. Well, that's the thing 675 00:34:34,800 --> 00:34:37,200 Speaker 9: with Nicki Haley. She's been surrounded by people who have 676 00:34:37,320 --> 00:34:41,360 Speaker 9: lied to her, overinflated her abilities, and told her that 677 00:34:41,400 --> 00:34:44,840 Speaker 9: she's bound for greatness. So my prediction with her is 678 00:34:44,880 --> 00:34:47,680 Speaker 9: that after New Hampshire she's going to drop out. She 679 00:34:47,719 --> 00:34:51,600 Speaker 9: doesn't want to be embarrassed in South Carolina. But in 680 00:34:51,600 --> 00:34:53,960 Speaker 9: addition to dropping out, I really think she's going to 681 00:34:54,000 --> 00:34:56,600 Speaker 9: pull a Chris Christy and she's not going to give 682 00:34:56,640 --> 00:34:58,600 Speaker 9: Donald Trump her endorsement. 683 00:34:58,760 --> 00:35:02,120 Speaker 5: So I don't see that she's gonna want them all 684 00:35:02,320 --> 00:35:04,439 Speaker 5: thank you. I mean, look, the gentleman could be right, 685 00:35:04,880 --> 00:35:07,360 Speaker 5: but I don't. I think he's almost certainly wrong on 686 00:35:07,400 --> 00:35:10,479 Speaker 5: this one. She's gonna fall on line. She's not gonna 687 00:35:10,480 --> 00:35:13,279 Speaker 5: want to. She's not looking to be She wants to 688 00:35:13,320 --> 00:35:16,200 Speaker 5: be in the good graces of the GOP power establishment. 689 00:35:16,280 --> 00:35:18,279 Speaker 5: She's not trying to show up on Morning Joe on 690 00:35:18,400 --> 00:35:21,960 Speaker 5: MSNBC at the cool Kids Table and become a Democrat. 691 00:35:21,480 --> 00:35:22,000 Speaker 2: Like I don't think. 692 00:35:22,040 --> 00:35:24,120 Speaker 5: I don't think Nikkiy Haley's going Liz Cheney. 693 00:35:23,960 --> 00:35:24,719 Speaker 2: Do you. 694 00:35:24,719 --> 00:35:24,839 Speaker 4: No. 695 00:35:25,280 --> 00:35:27,279 Speaker 3: I think she wants to win in twenty eight and 696 00:35:27,320 --> 00:35:29,640 Speaker 3: I think it's some What I agree with our caller 697 00:35:29,680 --> 00:35:33,200 Speaker 3: about is it's not just Nicki Haley. Everybody who gets 698 00:35:33,239 --> 00:35:37,640 Speaker 3: involved in politics eventually ends up surrounded by SINCA fans 699 00:35:37,640 --> 00:35:41,719 Speaker 3: who all tell them you are the greatest because those 700 00:35:42,719 --> 00:35:45,799 Speaker 3: those associates, the people who work for you, owe their 701 00:35:45,880 --> 00:35:48,520 Speaker 3: power to your success, which is why they often don't 702 00:35:48,560 --> 00:35:50,359 Speaker 3: want you to drop out all those things. But I'm 703 00:35:50,360 --> 00:35:52,640 Speaker 3: with you, Buck, I think Nikki Haley wants to run 704 00:35:52,640 --> 00:35:55,279 Speaker 3: in twenty eight when she loses New Hampshire, as we 705 00:35:55,320 --> 00:35:58,400 Speaker 3: think she will, but everybody go vote tomorrow, then I 706 00:35:58,440 --> 00:36:00,920 Speaker 3: think she will have the same decision to make that 707 00:36:01,000 --> 00:36:03,759 Speaker 3: Ron DeSantis made, And I don't think there's gonna be 708 00:36:03,760 --> 00:36:05,920 Speaker 3: any polling that suggests that she's gonna win a one 709 00:36:05,960 --> 00:36:08,640 Speaker 3: on one battle coming off a loss in New Hampshire. 710 00:36:08,960 --> 00:36:14,000 Speaker 5: Speaking about polling, friends, there's some interesting data to suggest 711 00:36:14,160 --> 00:36:17,120 Speaker 5: where this whole election could be going depending on how 712 00:36:17,160 --> 00:36:21,680 Speaker 5: these indictments end up with, whether with guilty verdicts or not, 713 00:36:22,080 --> 00:36:25,000 Speaker 5: we shall make sense of that. Plus more on the border. 714 00:36:25,520 --> 00:36:29,680 Speaker 5: New York City is considering something insane. On the crime front, 715 00:36:30,600 --> 00:36:32,600 Speaker 5: Biden is still technically the nominee. 716 00:36:32,640 --> 00:36:33,800 Speaker 2: We got a lot to talk about
