1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,920 Speaker 1: Welcome back in Clay Travis Buck Sexton Show. Appreciate all 2 00:00:03,960 --> 00:00:06,520 Speaker 1: of you hanging out with us. We're rolling through the 3 00:00:06,559 --> 00:00:09,880 Speaker 1: Wednesday edition of the program, reacting to last night's debate 4 00:00:11,680 --> 00:00:17,040 Speaker 1: and the incredibly dominant performance from Jade Vance, the waffling 5 00:00:17,120 --> 00:00:21,439 Speaker 1: performance from Tim Walls. The gambling markets have spoken Trump. 6 00:00:21,680 --> 00:00:24,959 Speaker 1: You know, guys know I like following this. Trump is 7 00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:29,639 Speaker 1: now dead, even with Kamala close to flipping the favorite 8 00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:34,600 Speaker 1: in the wake of last night's performance, both of them 9 00:00:34,640 --> 00:00:37,839 Speaker 1: dead on fifty to fifty. So if you are a 10 00:00:37,920 --> 00:00:41,840 Speaker 1: betting person right now, basically we are in the fourth quarter. 11 00:00:41,960 --> 00:00:46,120 Speaker 1: The game's tied and anything can happen, so dead even Trump, Kamala, 12 00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:47,879 Speaker 1: Buck and I both believe Trump is going to pull 13 00:00:47,880 --> 00:00:48,159 Speaker 1: it out. 14 00:00:48,320 --> 00:00:48,560 Speaker 2: Buck. 15 00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:50,960 Speaker 1: Two things for you that we haven't talked about so far. 16 00:00:51,400 --> 00:00:54,360 Speaker 1: And one of our emailers raised this as an issue, 17 00:00:54,400 --> 00:00:56,640 Speaker 1: so I want to give him credit for it. But 18 00:00:56,680 --> 00:00:59,840 Speaker 1: it also was something that I got texted to me, 19 00:01:02,120 --> 00:01:05,440 Speaker 1: Britt writes in in the in the Clay and Buck 20 00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:06,480 Speaker 1: vip e mail bag. 21 00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:06,720 Speaker 2: Here. 22 00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:09,600 Speaker 1: I get most of my news from the radio, so 23 00:01:09,720 --> 00:01:13,160 Speaker 1: I haven't seen jd Vance in action before, but I 24 00:01:13,160 --> 00:01:16,679 Speaker 1: would have to believe that Clay is enthralled with jd 25 00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:21,480 Speaker 1: Vance's eyes. Now, look, the fact that that that I 26 00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:23,679 Speaker 1: think Bill Alugen's a good looking man has led many 27 00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:27,360 Speaker 1: of you to to to jump here to the jd 28 00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:29,160 Speaker 1: Vance's eyes had to captivate me. 29 00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:30,840 Speaker 3: I will say this, Buck. 30 00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:34,959 Speaker 1: Optics and cosmetics matter, and I want to get your 31 00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:38,399 Speaker 1: read on this. I got a text from one of 32 00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:43,320 Speaker 1: our OutKick women who works on the show works on 33 00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:47,080 Speaker 1: the OutKick website. She said that a lot of her 34 00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:51,720 Speaker 1: girlfriends were texting her during the debate saying they didn't 35 00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:54,000 Speaker 1: realize how good looking jd Vance was. 36 00:01:55,520 --> 00:01:56,080 Speaker 3: Interesting. 37 00:01:56,840 --> 00:02:00,880 Speaker 1: I also thought when you put those two boxes side 38 00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:05,960 Speaker 1: by side, jd Vance had the superior answers. But Buck, 39 00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:09,520 Speaker 1: as you well know, much of television is cosmetic. It 40 00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:12,880 Speaker 1: doesn't matter what you say, it's how you look while 41 00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:18,000 Speaker 1: you say it. I thought that Tim Walls constantly looking 42 00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:22,960 Speaker 1: in jd Vance's direction and snapping his head around a 43 00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:27,519 Speaker 1: lot too body language wise, was not a good look 44 00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:30,000 Speaker 1: for him. I also think, and this is look, I 45 00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:33,120 Speaker 1: look older probably than my age, and we've gone from 46 00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:35,639 Speaker 1: you know when you're you remember these days, Buck, when 47 00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:36,840 Speaker 1: you're like sixteen or seven. 48 00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:39,600 Speaker 3: You we're very well preserved. I can't, I can't let 49 00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:40,080 Speaker 3: that go in. 50 00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:44,919 Speaker 1: But hold on, when you're sixteen or seventeen, everybody wants 51 00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:47,080 Speaker 1: to look older. I remember when I moved into my 52 00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:49,880 Speaker 1: freshman dorm, there was an eighteen year old from Minnesota 53 00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:52,560 Speaker 1: that looked forty two, and we were like, this guy's 54 00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:55,080 Speaker 1: gonna be able to get us beer anywhere in the city. 55 00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:58,080 Speaker 1: Nobody's asking for this guy's ID. And then as you 56 00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:00,320 Speaker 1: get older, you're like you pivot and you're like, well, 57 00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:03,200 Speaker 1: I wish I look younger than my age, right. I 58 00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:07,440 Speaker 1: think JD looks younger than forty. I think that Tim 59 00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:11,359 Speaker 1: Walls looks older than sixty. When you put Tim Walls 60 00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:13,760 Speaker 1: in Kamala Harris side by side, I don't think you 61 00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:16,640 Speaker 1: would think that they are the same age. The reason 62 00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:18,400 Speaker 1: why I bring this up we talked in the first 63 00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:20,799 Speaker 1: hour about how if you had bought into the caricature 64 00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:24,840 Speaker 1: of JD. Vance as some awful right wing idea logue 65 00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:26,920 Speaker 1: who's going to drag women out of their houses if 66 00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:29,480 Speaker 1: they get pregnant, make sure they're on a registry, all 67 00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:32,440 Speaker 1: this crazy stuff, the Handmaid's Tale style that they have 68 00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:36,800 Speaker 1: been peddling on MSNBC. What you actually saw was a 69 00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:40,760 Speaker 1: good looking guy with three kids seven in under who 70 00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:44,240 Speaker 1: is eminently reasonable and rational. And if you looked at 71 00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:47,840 Speaker 1: Tim Walls, I thought you saw a guy who was 72 00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:52,160 Speaker 1: old and frazzled and a bit bedraggled, and that side 73 00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:56,520 Speaker 1: by side cosmetic I think may well have registered with 74 00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:58,400 Speaker 1: some independent voters. 75 00:03:58,440 --> 00:03:59,480 Speaker 3: Am I crazy? Buck? 76 00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:01,920 Speaker 1: Or did you pick up on that too? In the 77 00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:05,080 Speaker 1: double box often shots, I mean, are you telling me 78 00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:07,520 Speaker 1: that J. D. Vance is hotter than Tim Wallas Clay? 79 00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:09,280 Speaker 1: Is that what we're going He is better looking, but 80 00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:13,200 Speaker 1: also he looked ahead. I think there's something to be said. 81 00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:15,760 Speaker 1: And I don't know what coaching these guys get and 82 00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:19,279 Speaker 1: gals get for debates it. You know how when you 83 00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:22,440 Speaker 1: do some things on television, Buck, they are counter to 84 00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:24,599 Speaker 1: how you would behave in real life. But if you 85 00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:27,320 Speaker 1: don't do them, you look weird. And I've said this before, 86 00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:31,599 Speaker 1: but for instance, if you stare somebody straight down in 87 00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:36,279 Speaker 1: a conversation, it's weird. Eventually we avert gaze like it 88 00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:38,440 Speaker 1: doesn't like if you just stare somebody in their eyes, 89 00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:40,680 Speaker 1: it makes them uncomfortable. If you don't stare at the 90 00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:44,760 Speaker 1: camera on a television show, you look the exact opposite. 91 00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:48,240 Speaker 1: You look sketchy and untrustworthy. I think when Walls was 92 00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:51,520 Speaker 1: looking at jd Vance, that might be normal in a 93 00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:55,120 Speaker 1: debate room, but it doesn't look normal on television. 94 00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:57,279 Speaker 3: It made him look like he had something to hide. 95 00:04:58,680 --> 00:04:58,880 Speaker 2: Yeah. 96 00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:01,359 Speaker 3: Look, I mean I think that jad Vance did. I 97 00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:05,919 Speaker 3: think he's in a different level intellectually and debate wise, 98 00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:10,039 Speaker 3: and across the board from where Tim Walls is. Some 99 00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:11,560 Speaker 3: people are writing in by the way, I'm getting a 100 00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:13,000 Speaker 3: little a little bit of heat, which fine, a little 101 00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:14,960 Speaker 3: bit of heat that you know, why do you think 102 00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:17,520 Speaker 3: Tim Walls is likable? I'm saying he's more likable than 103 00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:20,240 Speaker 3: Kamala the same way that I said Hillary is more 104 00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:23,119 Speaker 3: likable than Kamala, which people disagree with too, which is fine. 105 00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:25,600 Speaker 3: I think that ja. I think that Tim Walls came 106 00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:29,440 Speaker 3: across better than I thought he would, because what I 107 00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:33,080 Speaker 3: had seen of him up to this point was utter buffoonery. 108 00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:37,279 Speaker 3: I mean, truly clown level stuff. Look, he was okay 109 00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:40,440 Speaker 3: up there, he wasn't you know, no one's expecting him 110 00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:44,320 Speaker 3: to be really smart. And I'm just trying to be honest, 111 00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:46,159 Speaker 3: you know, assessing this as I would if I were 112 00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:49,080 Speaker 3: like grading a debate tournament, which the thing I used 113 00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:51,560 Speaker 3: to do back in the day. I thought that for 114 00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:53,640 Speaker 3: him he did Okay, I give him like a B. 115 00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:58,159 Speaker 3: I think JD gets an A plus. Right, So that's 116 00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:00,679 Speaker 3: my fair assessment of it. I mean, I think that honestly, 117 00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:03,520 Speaker 3: Kamala and Trump, when they went head to head on 118 00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:05,960 Speaker 3: the substance, it was a little closer than I wanted 119 00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:09,279 Speaker 3: it to be. And I think that on the style, 120 00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:12,960 Speaker 3: Trump actually was much more favorable than a lot of 121 00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:16,200 Speaker 3: the punditry thought he was based on the polling and 122 00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:21,479 Speaker 3: the numbers afterwards. Walls wasn't particularly strong on anything other 123 00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:25,160 Speaker 3: than you know, the healthcare answer. I think was his 124 00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:28,120 Speaker 3: best moment is the truly best moment. People in the 125 00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:30,479 Speaker 3: punitry class we were going to talk about the January 126 00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:35,120 Speaker 3: sixth thing. They're saying that that's all that's Well, if 127 00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:38,520 Speaker 3: you're bar for winning a debate against Jade Vance, is 128 00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:40,760 Speaker 3: you just talk about January sixth and say that it 129 00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:43,240 Speaker 3: was really bad, well, then anyone you know that Joe 130 00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:45,559 Speaker 3: Biden could win a debate against Jade Vance. I guess 131 00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:48,640 Speaker 3: as long as you kept him awake long enough. So 132 00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:51,840 Speaker 3: I don't think that he got any. I don't think 133 00:06:51,839 --> 00:06:53,680 Speaker 3: he had any powerful moments. I don't think he ever 134 00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:57,080 Speaker 3: cornered JD on anything. I do really like the JD 135 00:06:57,160 --> 00:06:59,960 Speaker 3: beat the three on one against the two moderators who 136 00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:03,120 Speaker 3: were just Again people say why would they do that, 137 00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:06,719 Speaker 3: because I mean, I don't even know who runs CBS 138 00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:10,200 Speaker 3: News these days, but whoever runs CBS News is a 139 00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:13,920 Speaker 3: big lib and he or she who writes the checks 140 00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:17,600 Speaker 3: wanted the performance that that you know, little Margaret and 141 00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:22,840 Speaker 3: little Nora gave on that stage. They don't care about fair. 142 00:07:23,320 --> 00:07:26,640 Speaker 3: They care about making sure that the seven figure gravy 143 00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:32,400 Speaker 3: train for being a glorified QVC model essentially is continuing. Okay, 144 00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:35,240 Speaker 3: So that's what that's what that's all about. That's what 145 00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:38,720 Speaker 3: people shouldn't be surprised that they weren't particularly fair, you know. 146 00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:41,640 Speaker 3: So I think that those were the key takeaways clay 147 00:07:41,640 --> 00:07:43,680 Speaker 3: on it that that I had, and I think overall 148 00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:48,360 Speaker 3: on the border, Vance did really well. On the economy, 149 00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:51,800 Speaker 3: he did really well on on the abortion issue. I 150 00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:55,200 Speaker 3: think he took the position that this is the best 151 00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:58,200 Speaker 3: position that Republicans have right now from an electoral perspective, 152 00:07:58,200 --> 00:07:59,680 Speaker 3: which is it's not a federal issue. 153 00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:00,680 Speaker 2: Roe v. 154 00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:03,880 Speaker 3: Wade was horrible law. Okay, Roe v. Wade was I 155 00:08:03,960 --> 00:08:05,680 Speaker 3: make the law whatever I want. That's what it is. 156 00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:08,520 Speaker 3: That was the Supreme Court version of we just make 157 00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:10,840 Speaker 3: it up if we think it's really important, which means 158 00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:12,600 Speaker 3: you don't need a legislature. You don't even need an 159 00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:14,920 Speaker 3: executive branch, you just need a super legislature of the 160 00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:15,480 Speaker 3: Supreme Court. 161 00:08:15,680 --> 00:08:15,920 Speaker 2: Roe v. 162 00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:20,120 Speaker 3: Wade was garbage law. Beyond that, we have this thing 163 00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:22,160 Speaker 3: of making everything a federal law in this country, which 164 00:08:22,160 --> 00:08:25,960 Speaker 3: we absolutely should not do, and it is a huge 165 00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:28,800 Speaker 3: erosion of our rights as a result of it. Leaving 166 00:08:28,840 --> 00:08:31,120 Speaker 3: it to the states at this phase is the only 167 00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:34,680 Speaker 3: thing that Republicans can do with the current legal regime 168 00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:36,920 Speaker 3: that we have and try to persuade people and try to, 169 00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:39,320 Speaker 3: you know, have the debate and have the conversation. But 170 00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:41,640 Speaker 3: that's like the point, right this is our system is 171 00:08:41,679 --> 00:08:43,680 Speaker 3: actually set up for that to occur. 172 00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:47,679 Speaker 1: Two other things, and you're right on all that. Two 173 00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:50,600 Speaker 1: other things that stood out to me. I thought jd 174 00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:53,080 Speaker 1: Vance did a really good job shouting out his wife. 175 00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:57,000 Speaker 1: And there are a lot of women out there that 176 00:08:57,040 --> 00:08:59,559 Speaker 1: had been uncomfortable with jd Vance based on the way 177 00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:02,959 Speaker 1: that he was characterized, I think I can speak for you. 178 00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:06,000 Speaker 1: I know I can speak for me. I think who 179 00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:09,199 Speaker 1: a man or woman picks as his life or her 180 00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:13,400 Speaker 1: life partner tells you almost more about them than anything else. 181 00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:18,559 Speaker 1: Your wife super smart. My wife's super smart, both accomplished. 182 00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:23,600 Speaker 1: JD vance marrying a Yelle law grad who has now 183 00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:27,280 Speaker 1: given him and they have as a family three young kids, 184 00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:31,760 Speaker 1: and her working in a major law firm while also 185 00:09:31,960 --> 00:09:36,640 Speaker 1: being a former Supreme Court clerk. His wife is an 186 00:09:36,679 --> 00:09:41,319 Speaker 1: incredibly accomplished woman, and I think him addressing that directly 187 00:09:41,640 --> 00:09:44,160 Speaker 1: while also talking about the fact that he was raised 188 00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:47,720 Speaker 1: by a drug addict mom and a grandma who helped 189 00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:52,480 Speaker 1: to carry for Carrie, raise him, care for him when 190 00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:55,760 Speaker 1: his mom could not. I think that's a really hard 191 00:09:55,840 --> 00:09:58,200 Speaker 1: thing for a woman not to be impressed by, which 192 00:09:58,200 --> 00:10:00,920 Speaker 1: is why the caricature of JD I thought was so unfair. 193 00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:03,480 Speaker 1: So I think he helped himself with women. But the 194 00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:06,520 Speaker 1: other thing is if this race is going to be 195 00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:11,400 Speaker 1: decided by voters in big ten states Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania 196 00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:15,080 Speaker 1: in particular, if you're a guy or a gal in 197 00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:19,200 Speaker 1: those three states, Tim Walls was picked directly to try 198 00:10:19,200 --> 00:10:22,640 Speaker 1: to peel off some of those voters. I think JD 199 00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:27,120 Speaker 1: Vance seems like the more normal, likable guy to people 200 00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:30,520 Speaker 1: in those what I call Big ten states. So I 201 00:10:30,559 --> 00:10:33,199 Speaker 1: think JD did a really good job with solidifying his 202 00:10:34,240 --> 00:10:37,520 Speaker 1: perspective with women who might have been not that enamored 203 00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:40,080 Speaker 1: of him, but after watching him, said, man, he's nothing 204 00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:42,800 Speaker 1: like what they told us he was. And I think 205 00:10:42,920 --> 00:10:46,400 Speaker 1: also the Big ten voters, the men and women there, 206 00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:49,520 Speaker 1: the high school educated. The story about my mom was 207 00:10:49,559 --> 00:10:52,640 Speaker 1: a drug addict and my grandma raised me. I mean, 208 00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:55,240 Speaker 1: this is the opposite of a silver spoon. I think 209 00:10:55,280 --> 00:10:57,960 Speaker 1: that connects honestly with a lot of people who were 210 00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:02,080 Speaker 1: not born with silver spoons in their mouth, unlike I mean, look, 211 00:11:02,160 --> 00:11:04,640 Speaker 1: Trump and Kamala both had a lot of advantages. Even 212 00:11:04,679 --> 00:11:06,520 Speaker 1: though Kamal always tries to say she was a middle 213 00:11:06,520 --> 00:11:09,120 Speaker 1: class kid, her parents are both PhDs. I mean, that's 214 00:11:09,160 --> 00:11:11,760 Speaker 1: not a normal life to grow up with. I think 215 00:11:11,840 --> 00:11:14,000 Speaker 1: JD connect with a lot of those people better than Walt. 216 00:11:14,960 --> 00:11:17,720 Speaker 3: Yes. And I would also add that on the attacks 217 00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:20,840 Speaker 3: of the kind of war on women's stuff that the 218 00:11:20,840 --> 00:11:23,320 Speaker 3: Democrats always trot out, it was a little bit of 219 00:11:23,320 --> 00:11:26,120 Speaker 3: that last night. I just also say whenever they talk 220 00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:29,440 Speaker 3: about abortion. Notice that they don't talk about abortion. A 221 00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:33,920 Speaker 3: woman's right to bodily autonomy and to make her own decisions. 222 00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:37,839 Speaker 3: And this isn't about what kind of casse role you're 223 00:11:37,880 --> 00:11:39,840 Speaker 3: making for dinner. This is a big issue and it's 224 00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:43,040 Speaker 3: about abortion and the fact that they can't speak honestly 225 00:11:43,080 --> 00:11:47,559 Speaker 3: about it. And also, I mean should be very straightforward. 226 00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:51,199 Speaker 3: Does Minnesota demand protection under law for a baby who 227 00:11:51,240 --> 00:11:54,640 Speaker 3: survives in abortion? People who say babies don't survive abortions 228 00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:57,760 Speaker 3: are wrong. They do. That is a fact. Okay, So 229 00:11:58,200 --> 00:12:00,640 Speaker 3: does the law demand that a baby who survives the 230 00:12:00,679 --> 00:12:04,079 Speaker 3: abortion procedure needs to be provided with caaren Minnesota? Yes 231 00:12:04,160 --> 00:12:05,760 Speaker 3: or no? We need you know, if we had a 232 00:12:05,840 --> 00:12:08,040 Speaker 3: media that cared at all about anything, we would get 233 00:12:08,080 --> 00:12:10,400 Speaker 3: an honest, you know anything, honest we'd get an answer 234 00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:14,240 Speaker 3: on that. But Clay, the idea that Vance, who as 235 00:12:14,280 --> 00:12:18,160 Speaker 3: you point out, has you know, lovely, lovely and accomplished wife, 236 00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:20,760 Speaker 3: three kids from all we can tell, seems to have 237 00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:24,800 Speaker 3: a happy home and personal life and and you know 238 00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:27,440 Speaker 3: again has an accomplished wife as well as a you know, 239 00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:31,400 Speaker 3: a devoted mom from what we what we know. And 240 00:12:31,400 --> 00:12:34,520 Speaker 3: then Donald Trump who okay, you know, yeah, I mean 241 00:12:34,559 --> 00:12:36,480 Speaker 3: Donald Trump's problem might be he likes women a little 242 00:12:36,480 --> 00:12:38,960 Speaker 3: too much. I mean, he's been very three times and 243 00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:43,480 Speaker 3: he owned the Miss Universe contest that they are going 244 00:12:43,559 --> 00:12:47,920 Speaker 3: to be the American Taliban and put women in you know, 245 00:12:48,360 --> 00:12:53,880 Speaker 3: the handmaiden's tail handmaid's tail clothing. This is an insane argument, right, 246 00:12:54,160 --> 00:12:57,160 Speaker 3: Donald Donald Trump is going to be the one that's 247 00:12:57,200 --> 00:12:59,880 Speaker 3: like making women into you know, the Handmaids Tale of 248 00:12:59,880 --> 00:13:02,560 Speaker 3: the whole thing is absurd, some dystopian future. But he's 249 00:13:02,600 --> 00:13:05,400 Speaker 3: like some radical excremists when it comes to women. Really, 250 00:13:05,520 --> 00:13:08,520 Speaker 3: the guy married to the Eastern European supermodel, Like, do 251 00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:12,440 Speaker 3: they hear themselves when they make these idiotic arguments every day? 252 00:13:13,160 --> 00:13:15,920 Speaker 1: No, that's funny. And here's one little thought I'll leave 253 00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:17,720 Speaker 1: you with too, and we'll take some of your calls. 254 00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:20,480 Speaker 1: We got Trey Yanks from Israel who's going to join 255 00:13:20,559 --> 00:13:21,760 Speaker 1: us the bottom of the hour, but we'll take some 256 00:13:21,760 --> 00:13:24,480 Speaker 1: more of your calls. I think there's also a lot 257 00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:28,840 Speaker 1: of left wing women that secretly want to marry somebody 258 00:13:28,920 --> 00:13:32,800 Speaker 1: like JD. Vance and in their head they can't find 259 00:13:32,840 --> 00:13:37,080 Speaker 1: that guy, and when they watched him on stage, they're like, Oh, 260 00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:40,960 Speaker 1: he's got three kids under seven, he married a lawyer wife, 261 00:13:41,040 --> 00:13:44,400 Speaker 1: he went to law school himself. He is forty years old. 262 00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:48,080 Speaker 1: He is trying to build the life for his own 263 00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:50,880 Speaker 1: family that he did not have personally because he had 264 00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:53,000 Speaker 1: an absent father. And I know there are a lot 265 00:13:53,040 --> 00:13:54,920 Speaker 1: of people out there listening to us right now that 266 00:13:54,960 --> 00:13:58,400 Speaker 1: have had broken homes. And when you have the opportunity 267 00:13:58,400 --> 00:14:00,680 Speaker 1: to create a family for yourself, well, if you know 268 00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:04,079 Speaker 1: better than anybody what it feels like to not have 269 00:14:04,160 --> 00:14:07,120 Speaker 1: a dad or a mom in your life, and you 270 00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:11,120 Speaker 1: want to avoid ever creating that situation for your family. 271 00:14:11,760 --> 00:14:14,360 Speaker 1: And I think JD has tried to answer that. And 272 00:14:14,360 --> 00:14:17,160 Speaker 1: that's the ultimate irony of all of this, Buck is 273 00:14:17,520 --> 00:14:21,200 Speaker 1: so many of these left wingers they talk left, but 274 00:14:21,280 --> 00:14:24,120 Speaker 1: they live right in their own lives. They get married, 275 00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:27,440 Speaker 1: they have kids, they stay married, they buy a home, 276 00:14:27,560 --> 00:14:29,280 Speaker 1: they want to live in the best school this year. 277 00:14:29,280 --> 00:14:31,640 Speaker 3: You mean that the leaders of the Democrat Party aren't 278 00:14:31,640 --> 00:14:36,560 Speaker 3: a bunch of purple haired nos ring anarchists what a chef. Yes, 279 00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:39,000 Speaker 3: but it's so important because I think it in the 280 00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:42,560 Speaker 3: back of their mind when they watch JD, they're torn 281 00:14:42,640 --> 00:14:45,560 Speaker 3: because they actually want that in their own life, but 282 00:14:45,600 --> 00:14:47,800 Speaker 3: they have to pretend that they don't, and I think 283 00:14:47,800 --> 00:14:51,480 Speaker 3: there's a cognitive dissonance that registers with them. And I 284 00:14:51,520 --> 00:14:54,640 Speaker 3: think that that really worked for JD in the way 285 00:14:54,640 --> 00:14:55,480 Speaker 3: that he performed. 286 00:14:55,480 --> 00:14:58,120 Speaker 1: He wasn't the boogeyman. He wasn't the big, bad, awful 287 00:14:58,160 --> 00:14:59,960 Speaker 1: guy who's going to drag women by their hair off 288 00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:02,200 Speaker 1: the porch if they get pregnant. In fact, he actually 289 00:15:02,240 --> 00:15:05,200 Speaker 1: said he even understood why women got abortions because he 290 00:15:05,240 --> 00:15:07,320 Speaker 1: had one of his friends from high school that didn't 291 00:15:07,360 --> 00:15:09,040 Speaker 1: have a guy she wanted to be with and felt 292 00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:11,600 Speaker 1: like she was going to be in some way dealing 293 00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:13,480 Speaker 1: with that for the rest of her life and it 294 00:15:13,480 --> 00:15:15,960 Speaker 1: wouldn't allow her to fulfill the ambitions that she had 295 00:15:15,960 --> 00:15:18,240 Speaker 1: with her life, which I actually thought was a strong moment, 296 00:15:18,280 --> 00:15:21,120 Speaker 1: and again I think it connected with some of those 297 00:15:21,120 --> 00:15:22,800 Speaker 1: swing voters out there.

Last night, Vance and Walt, the 340 00:17:17,680 --> 00:17:21,240 Speaker 3: first question was actually about support for an Israeli strike 341 00:17:21,359 --> 00:17:23,920 Speaker 3: on Iran, and I will just I will admit this. 342 00:17:24,920 --> 00:17:27,440 Speaker 3: I can't even remember what Wall said. It was kind 343 00:17:27,440 --> 00:17:30,560 Speaker 3: of just that was when he was really finding his footing. 344 00:17:30,600 --> 00:17:33,320 Speaker 3: Remember that, Clay. For the first few minutes walls looked like, 345 00:17:33,720 --> 00:17:35,800 Speaker 3: is he going to get through this? He got a 346 00:17:35,840 --> 00:17:37,639 Speaker 3: little bit better after that, but I can't even tell 347 00:17:37,680 --> 00:17:40,959 Speaker 3: you what his answer was about that. But obviously major 348 00:17:42,080 --> 00:17:45,520 Speaker 3: major tensions over in the Middle East.

Reacting to Timwall versus 372 00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:03,120 Speaker 3: JD Vance and the big win for JD vans last 373 00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:06,840 Speaker 3: night based on even CNN's polling. I saw buck that 374 00:19:06,960 --> 00:19:10,800 Speaker 3: had JD Vance winning when they never buy and large 375 00:19:10,880 --> 00:19:13,240 Speaker 3: ever have a Republican winning. The only time I can 376 00:19:13,280 --> 00:19:16,520 Speaker 3: remember it in the last decade or so was when 377 00:19:16,520 --> 00:19:19,040 Speaker 3: Trump knocked out Joe Biden, and Biden was just so 378 00:19:19,160 --> 00:19:22,720 Speaker 3: awful on June twenty seventh. Maybe met Romney first debate 379 00:19:22,760 --> 00:19:26,000 Speaker 3: twenty twelve, but they're rare where they say, hey, look 380 00:19:26,320 --> 00:19:28,159 Speaker 3: this guy won. I saw a lot of the swing 381 00:19:28,200 --> 00:19:33,720 Speaker 3: state voter polling undecided voters who were watching were more 382 00:19:33,720 --> 00:19:36,359 Speaker 3: impressed by JD Vance. Even the Washington Post has a 383 00:19:36,440 --> 00:19:39,120 Speaker 3: lead story up about that right now where they try 384 00:19:39,119 --> 00:19:42,080 Speaker 3: to have a focus group and obviously anytime you have 385 00:19:42,280 --> 00:19:44,720 Speaker 3: any group of twenty or twenty five people, it's a 386 00:19:44,720 --> 00:19:46,720 Speaker 3: little bit arbitrary how they respond. 387 00:19:46,760 --> 00:19:49,440 Speaker 1: You don't know the internal dynamics of the room. But 388 00:19:49,680 --> 00:19:53,640 Speaker 1: everything that I saw has jd Vance doing better than 389 00:19:53,680 --> 00:19:57,560 Speaker 1: Tim Walls, which is why if Walls was selected to 390 00:19:57,640 --> 00:20:02,120 Speaker 1: try to appeal to people in Michigan, Sylvania and Wisconsin, 391 00:20:02,359 --> 00:20:06,080 Speaker 1: it doesn't seem like that has really worked and that 392 00:20:06,200 --> 00:20:09,160 Speaker 1: jd Vance is having a strong pull. 393 00:20:09,359 --> 00:20:10,280 Speaker 3: There in those states. 394 00:20:10,320 --> 00:20:11,760 Speaker 1: By the way, we were supposed to be joined by 395 00:20:11,800 --> 00:20:15,720 Speaker 1: Trey Yanks Fox News in this segment. You might imagine 396 00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:18,440 Speaker 1: things are a little bit chaotic in Israel right now, 397 00:20:18,520 --> 00:20:20,720 Speaker 1: so we may or may not officially get him on 398 00:20:20,840 --> 00:20:24,359 Speaker 1: the line here, but I did want to mention Buck 399 00:20:24,440 --> 00:20:28,399 Speaker 1: one story that has come down. We have Trey. Now, 400 00:20:28,680 --> 00:20:30,880 Speaker 1: Trey is with us. Trey Yanks, you got a brand 401 00:20:30,920 --> 00:20:33,960 Speaker 1: new book out. Appreciate you joining us here on Clay 402 00:20:33,960 --> 00:20:35,879 Speaker 1: and Buck. But I just want to start before we 403 00:20:35,920 --> 00:20:41,240 Speaker 1: get to the book. Yesterday, the attack of Iran on Israel. 404 00:20:41,320 --> 00:20:43,240 Speaker 1: I believe it was one hundred and eighty one missiles 405 00:20:43,320 --> 00:20:46,560 Speaker 1: I think is the final number. What was that experience 406 00:20:46,760 --> 00:20:49,280 Speaker 1: like for you and what are you hearing about what 407 00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:50,160 Speaker 1: happens now. 408 00:20:51,720 --> 00:20:53,879 Speaker 2: Yeah, well, thank you guys for having me. It was 409 00:20:54,600 --> 00:20:56,639 Speaker 2: a surreal experience in many ways. You know, I've been 410 00:20:56,640 --> 00:20:58,600 Speaker 2: reporting on the ground here in the Middle East for 411 00:20:58,680 --> 00:21:01,640 Speaker 2: more than six years, for five and this is only 412 00:21:01,720 --> 00:21:05,840 Speaker 2: the second time that I've lived through a ballistic missile 413 00:21:05,840 --> 00:21:08,600 Speaker 2: attack here, and one other time when Iron launched a 414 00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:11,960 Speaker 2: ballistic missile attack and I was reporting in Baghdad. But 415 00:21:12,040 --> 00:21:14,719 Speaker 2: to see these missiles streaming to the skies of Israel 416 00:21:14,880 --> 00:21:18,480 Speaker 2: and some of them getting intercepted, others actually impacting the ground, 417 00:21:18,600 --> 00:21:21,680 Speaker 2: it was significant, and it was a major escalation as 418 00:21:21,680 --> 00:21:24,280 Speaker 2: we look at this story and what comes next, because 419 00:21:24,280 --> 00:21:27,040 Speaker 2: the Israelis have said time and time again that they 420 00:21:27,119 --> 00:21:30,199 Speaker 2: will respond if an attack of this scale happened. So 421 00:21:30,280 --> 00:21:33,160 Speaker 2: as it was happening in real time, the first thing 422 00:21:33,160 --> 00:21:35,360 Speaker 2: that I was thinking was how is Isra are going 423 00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:38,600 Speaker 2: to respond to this? And initial reports indicate it will 424 00:21:38,600 --> 00:21:40,080 Speaker 2: be a heavy response. 425 00:21:41,119 --> 00:21:45,440 Speaker 3: Trey, It'll be a heavy response. That's something that came 426 00:21:45,560 --> 00:21:50,120 Speaker 3: up and last night in the debate between Vance and Waltz, 427 00:21:50,160 --> 00:21:51,680 Speaker 3: I mean, can you just give us a sense as 428 00:21:51,720 --> 00:21:56,520 Speaker 3: to how is the current sentiment right now in Israel 429 00:21:56,840 --> 00:22:00,800 Speaker 3: about the support that they have received, or perhaps lack 430 00:22:00,840 --> 00:22:03,600 Speaker 3: of support on some areas. When it comes to the 431 00:22:03,680 --> 00:22:10,480 Speaker 3: Biden administration and what their approach has been since October seventh, particularly. 432 00:22:11,359 --> 00:22:14,080 Speaker 2: It's interesting because you get a variety of responses, and 433 00:22:14,560 --> 00:22:17,520 Speaker 2: you know, we talked to everyone involved, from the commandos 434 00:22:17,560 --> 00:22:21,240 Speaker 2: who are currently in southern Lebanon to the soldiers that 435 00:22:21,280 --> 00:22:23,680 Speaker 2: were fighting over the past year in Gaza, to Israel's 436 00:22:23,680 --> 00:22:27,159 Speaker 2: Defense Minister Jov Galand and there is a common sentiment 437 00:22:27,200 --> 00:22:30,840 Speaker 2: among Israeli officials of frustration as it relates to the 438 00:22:30,920 --> 00:22:34,600 Speaker 2: relationship with the United States. They're thankful for some support 439 00:22:34,640 --> 00:22:36,520 Speaker 2: and frustrated with other support. And I'll just give you 440 00:22:36,600 --> 00:22:38,920 Speaker 2: one example. Back in the middle of the war between 441 00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:42,919 Speaker 2: Israel and Hamas and Gaza, remember that the Biden administration 442 00:22:43,119 --> 00:22:45,840 Speaker 2: slowed the weapon shipments to Israel. They were still allowing 443 00:22:45,920 --> 00:22:50,080 Speaker 2: certain ammunition and certain bombs to make their way to Israel, 444 00:22:50,280 --> 00:22:53,080 Speaker 2: but others were put on pause temporarily, and there was 445 00:22:53,119 --> 00:22:56,959 Speaker 2: frustration among the Israelis because those bombs weren't for Gaza. 446 00:22:57,040 --> 00:23:00,359 Speaker 2: They were to basically target Hasbel of positions war that 447 00:23:00,400 --> 00:23:05,040 Speaker 2: we're watching unfold now, and so behind the scenes, the 448 00:23:05,119 --> 00:23:09,040 Speaker 2: relationship continues. It's very close, and their coordination is also 449 00:23:09,160 --> 00:23:11,760 Speaker 2: quite high when you think about even the response last 450 00:23:11,840 --> 00:23:14,200 Speaker 2: night as these ballistic missiles were streaming through the sky. 451 00:23:14,600 --> 00:23:17,720 Speaker 2: US Central Command was involved in shooting some of them down. 452 00:23:18,320 --> 00:23:21,960 Speaker 2: But publicly there can be some disagreements, and that's part 453 00:23:21,960 --> 00:23:23,879 Speaker 2: of the story that we cover here, but we're mostly 454 00:23:23,920 --> 00:23:26,440 Speaker 2: focused on the day to day actions on the ground 455 00:23:26,520 --> 00:23:29,280 Speaker 2: and what's taking place amid the war now that's unfolding 456 00:23:29,320 --> 00:23:30,560 Speaker 2: in the northern part of the country. 457 00:23:31,119 --> 00:23:34,840 Speaker 1: We're talking to Trey Yanks, chief foreign correspondent for Fox 458 00:23:34,960 --> 00:23:37,879 Speaker 1: on the Ground in Israel. The book that he has 459 00:23:38,080 --> 00:23:42,479 Speaker 1: Black Saturday and Unfiltered account of the October seventh attack 460 00:23:42,560 --> 00:23:47,280 Speaker 1: on Israel and the war in Gaza, was released yesterday. Trey, 461 00:23:47,920 --> 00:23:52,199 Speaker 1: what was your experience like on October seventh? Where were you, 462 00:23:52,400 --> 00:23:55,200 Speaker 1: How did you become aware of what was happening, and 463 00:23:55,240 --> 00:23:58,600 Speaker 1: what was that day like for someone in Israel in 464 00:23:58,640 --> 00:23:59,399 Speaker 1: your experience? 465 00:24:00,800 --> 00:24:02,960 Speaker 2: So, I got a call on October seventh at seven 466 00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:05,439 Speaker 2: o three am in the morning from my producer and 467 00:24:05,440 --> 00:24:09,240 Speaker 2: she said, something's happening in the south, And normally when 468 00:24:09,280 --> 00:24:11,480 Speaker 2: something's happening in the South, it's a rocket attack. And 469 00:24:11,520 --> 00:24:14,200 Speaker 2: we knew that rockets were being fired not only in 470 00:24:14,280 --> 00:24:17,800 Speaker 2: southern Israel but also into central Israel, and so we 471 00:24:17,840 --> 00:24:20,800 Speaker 2: thought this was sort of the status quo of an 472 00:24:20,840 --> 00:24:24,040 Speaker 2: attack from Gaza launched by Hamas or Islamic Jihad. Maybe 473 00:24:24,040 --> 00:24:26,479 Speaker 2: there was something that we missed, and this was the 474 00:24:26,480 --> 00:24:29,919 Speaker 2: initial thought process. Maybe there was a targeted assassination that 475 00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:33,160 Speaker 2: the Israelis took out a commander. Something didn't make sense. 476 00:24:33,200 --> 00:24:35,280 Speaker 2: And as we got closer to the Gaza border to 477 00:24:35,320 --> 00:24:38,119 Speaker 2: start reporting in the location that we always report from, 478 00:24:39,160 --> 00:24:42,440 Speaker 2: we slowly started to piece together what was happening. And 479 00:24:42,560 --> 00:24:44,879 Speaker 2: when we stopped at one intersection and got out of 480 00:24:44,920 --> 00:24:47,320 Speaker 2: the car, we could hear gunfire in the distance, and 481 00:24:47,359 --> 00:24:50,399 Speaker 2: this was the first major sign that something was wrong, 482 00:24:50,600 --> 00:24:53,480 Speaker 2: something was different. And as we reported throughout the day, 483 00:24:53,520 --> 00:24:56,159 Speaker 2: that intersection turned into a treoce point and we watched 484 00:24:56,359 --> 00:25:00,840 Speaker 2: soldiers and civilians wounded by gunfire gone in front of us. 485 00:25:00,840 --> 00:25:04,480 Speaker 2: Some died, others were taken to hospitals in southern Israeli cities, 486 00:25:05,240 --> 00:25:08,760 Speaker 2: and a war erupted between Israel and Hamat that still 487 00:25:08,760 --> 00:25:09,639 Speaker 2: continues today. 488 00:25:11,520 --> 00:25:14,720 Speaker 3: Trey in the book, I know you get into some 489 00:25:14,800 --> 00:25:20,160 Speaker 3: of this, but you know there was we were heartbroken here. 490 00:25:20,440 --> 00:25:23,639 Speaker 3: We covered October seventh, you know, from thousands of miles away, 491 00:25:23,720 --> 00:25:27,760 Speaker 3: but it was felt all too real and horrific just 492 00:25:27,840 --> 00:25:31,120 Speaker 3: as the details came in for all of us, including 493 00:25:31,240 --> 00:25:35,400 Speaker 3: everyone listening all over the country. What do you want 494 00:25:35,400 --> 00:25:39,040 Speaker 3: people to know about what happened that day? And I 495 00:25:39,080 --> 00:25:43,199 Speaker 3: mean there were some people who came out in the 496 00:25:43,240 --> 00:25:46,760 Speaker 3: media and elsewhere afterwards to say, well, some aspects of 497 00:25:46,800 --> 00:25:50,000 Speaker 3: what was initially claimed were unverified, or there was some 498 00:25:50,880 --> 00:25:54,800 Speaker 3: exaggeration or anything like that. I wanted you, as somebody 499 00:25:54,800 --> 00:25:57,679 Speaker 3: who's on the ground and has seen and been to 500 00:25:58,080 --> 00:26:02,159 Speaker 3: these places yourself, what is true and what is not 501 00:26:02,440 --> 00:26:06,600 Speaker 3: about the commentary that came out after October seventh. 502 00:26:08,359 --> 00:26:09,800 Speaker 2: I think there are a lot of people who have 503 00:26:09,880 --> 00:26:12,920 Speaker 2: opinions about the war that's unfolding, and I'm not one 504 00:26:12,920 --> 00:26:16,239 Speaker 2: of those people. I carry very few opinions about this 505 00:26:16,320 --> 00:26:18,879 Speaker 2: conflict or others. We're focused on the facts on the ground, 506 00:26:18,920 --> 00:26:21,640 Speaker 2: and that's what you'll see when you read Black Saturday, 507 00:26:21,680 --> 00:26:23,399 Speaker 2: and it's also what you'll see when you watch Fox 508 00:26:23,400 --> 00:26:26,000 Speaker 2: and you see our reports live from the ground in 509 00:26:26,160 --> 00:26:28,439 Speaker 2: not only this war zone, but war zones around the world. 510 00:26:29,520 --> 00:26:31,879 Speaker 2: The morning of October seventh was quite confusing from an 511 00:26:31,920 --> 00:26:34,880 Speaker 2: information standpoint, and I was very careful with what we 512 00:26:34,880 --> 00:26:37,200 Speaker 2: were gathering and also very careful with what we were 513 00:26:37,800 --> 00:26:40,520 Speaker 2: putting out to the public, understanding that this was such 514 00:26:40,520 --> 00:26:43,879 Speaker 2: a real, time breaking new situation that I needed to 515 00:26:43,880 --> 00:26:45,920 Speaker 2: be patient with a lot of the information. And that's 516 00:26:45,920 --> 00:26:47,520 Speaker 2: a critical point that I make in the book, and 517 00:26:47,560 --> 00:26:49,879 Speaker 2: it's something that I really believe in. It's patients and 518 00:26:49,920 --> 00:26:54,560 Speaker 2: information because I'd rather be right than first. And it 519 00:26:54,600 --> 00:26:57,080 Speaker 2: doesn't matter if it's covering the war between Israel and 520 00:26:57,119 --> 00:26:59,560 Speaker 2: Hamas and the times that we were entering the Gaza strip, 521 00:27:00,160 --> 00:27:03,199 Speaker 2: or if it's the war that's unfolding now between Israel 522 00:27:03,240 --> 00:27:07,320 Speaker 2: and Hezbolah. When people talk about this conflict, I think 523 00:27:07,320 --> 00:27:10,159 Speaker 2: there's another really important thing to remember, and this probably 524 00:27:10,160 --> 00:27:13,920 Speaker 2: gets more to the core of your question. The October 525 00:27:13,920 --> 00:27:17,399 Speaker 2: seventh massacre was the largest slaughter of Jews since the Holocaust. 526 00:27:17,720 --> 00:27:22,200 Speaker 2: That is an objective fact. The Israeli response against Gaza 527 00:27:22,400 --> 00:27:25,520 Speaker 2: has led to the highest depth toll among Palestinian civilians 528 00:27:25,560 --> 00:27:28,040 Speaker 2: in the history of their people. These are two facts 529 00:27:28,040 --> 00:27:30,080 Speaker 2: that are true at the same time, and that's why 530 00:27:30,119 --> 00:27:32,399 Speaker 2: I encourage people to have empathy for those who are 531 00:27:32,400 --> 00:27:35,000 Speaker 2: affected by this war. Because there are millions of people 532 00:27:35,040 --> 00:27:37,160 Speaker 2: in the region. They have a variety of the viewpoints, 533 00:27:37,160 --> 00:27:39,440 Speaker 2: they have a variety of opinions, and they do a 534 00:27:39,520 --> 00:27:42,600 Speaker 2: variety of different actions. And so often when people talk 535 00:27:42,680 --> 00:27:45,520 Speaker 2: about the Middle East, or they talk about Israelis and Palestinians, 536 00:27:45,520 --> 00:27:47,760 Speaker 2: they want to very quickly put people into two camps. 537 00:27:48,080 --> 00:27:49,800 Speaker 2: But the reality is, and I talk about this in 538 00:27:49,840 --> 00:27:52,040 Speaker 2: Black Saturday, is that the people who live on the 539 00:27:52,040 --> 00:27:55,320 Speaker 2: ground here and experience this every day exist on a spectrum. 540 00:27:55,960 --> 00:27:59,520 Speaker 2: And I think the only information that you should trust 541 00:27:59,600 --> 00:28:02,040 Speaker 2: about what is happening as it relates to the war 542 00:28:02,080 --> 00:28:04,960 Speaker 2: in Gaza or the war that's taking place right now 543 00:28:04,960 --> 00:28:09,600 Speaker 2: between Israeli Hesbla is information that properly covers all viewpoints, 544 00:28:09,840 --> 00:28:12,919 Speaker 2: that gives you a true understanding of the complexities and 545 00:28:13,040 --> 00:28:16,320 Speaker 2: the uncomfortable truths about war. Because war is not pretty, 546 00:28:16,400 --> 00:28:19,720 Speaker 2: it's complicated, it's complex. But at the end of the day, 547 00:28:19,720 --> 00:28:23,360 Speaker 2: we have to get to the bottom line facts because 548 00:28:23,480 --> 00:28:25,640 Speaker 2: if you don't, and we saw this throughout the past year, 549 00:28:25,880 --> 00:28:29,200 Speaker 2: it can lead to other consequences that have really serious implications, 550 00:28:29,240 --> 00:28:31,000 Speaker 2: not just for the region, but for the whole world. 551 00:28:31,720 --> 00:28:34,720 Speaker 1: Trey. We talk a lot about post traumatic stress for 552 00:28:34,880 --> 00:28:39,240 Speaker 1: soldiers when they return from places where they've deployed based 553 00:28:39,280 --> 00:28:43,200 Speaker 1: on what they've seen. I'm curious for you and other 554 00:28:43,360 --> 00:28:47,000 Speaker 1: reporters and other individuals who are civilians who are outside 555 00:28:47,080 --> 00:28:51,280 Speaker 1: of combat roles. How do you process, contemplate and remain 556 00:28:51,400 --> 00:28:54,720 Speaker 1: able to do your job based on what you have seen? 557 00:28:55,360 --> 00:28:59,000 Speaker 1: And how do you manage that? And what have you 558 00:28:59,120 --> 00:29:01,040 Speaker 1: found to work? And what would you say to maybe 559 00:29:01,040 --> 00:29:03,720 Speaker 1: somebody out there who is listening to us right now, 560 00:29:03,760 --> 00:29:05,880 Speaker 1: and maybe they're a kid and one day they think, Hey, 561 00:29:05,920 --> 00:29:08,440 Speaker 1: I'd like to be a journalist like Trey, is what 562 00:29:08,560 --> 00:29:09,280 Speaker 1: have you learned? 563 00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:14,000 Speaker 2: Well? I tell my team something very often, and it's 564 00:29:14,000 --> 00:29:16,280 Speaker 2: something that I tell myself very often. It's actually the 565 00:29:16,280 --> 00:29:18,880 Speaker 2: background of my phone and it's stay focused on the mission. 566 00:29:19,520 --> 00:29:22,320 Speaker 2: And that's something that guides me remembering what my mission is, 567 00:29:22,320 --> 00:29:25,880 Speaker 2: and that is to provide fair, objective, and truthful journalism 568 00:29:25,960 --> 00:29:30,120 Speaker 2: to our audience and to my readers. But it's challenging 569 00:29:30,200 --> 00:29:32,200 Speaker 2: to cover a story like this. We witness death and 570 00:29:32,200 --> 00:29:35,840 Speaker 2: destruction firsthand, and I think on a high level, it's 571 00:29:36,240 --> 00:29:39,360 Speaker 2: remembering to be empathetic and understanding of everyone involved in 572 00:29:39,360 --> 00:29:41,640 Speaker 2: the stories that we cover and try to get to 573 00:29:41,680 --> 00:29:44,680 Speaker 2: the core of why people do what they do, and 574 00:29:44,800 --> 00:29:48,840 Speaker 2: on a more simple level, it's seemed horrific things and 575 00:29:48,880 --> 00:29:52,920 Speaker 2: then knowing that you need to process the aftermath of 576 00:29:52,920 --> 00:29:55,240 Speaker 2: that in a healthy way, not turning to drugs and 577 00:29:55,280 --> 00:29:58,720 Speaker 2: alcohol to deal with the thoughts that you have and 578 00:29:58,760 --> 00:30:01,280 Speaker 2: the memories that you have of the scenes not only 579 00:30:01,280 --> 00:30:04,360 Speaker 2: in southern Israel but also in Gaza. And for me, 580 00:30:04,520 --> 00:30:07,800 Speaker 2: that's cold exposure, that's eating healthy, that's working out. That 581 00:30:08,040 --> 00:30:11,080 Speaker 2: is talking about mental health and not being afraid to 582 00:30:11,080 --> 00:30:14,680 Speaker 2: discuss it, because I think that's also a critical component 583 00:30:14,680 --> 00:30:16,239 Speaker 2: in all of this. And if you're listening and you're 584 00:30:16,280 --> 00:30:18,360 Speaker 2: someone who is afraid to talk about mental health, I'd 585 00:30:18,440 --> 00:30:20,520 Speaker 2: encourage you to speak to your friends, speak to your 586 00:30:20,520 --> 00:30:23,160 Speaker 2: loved ones, speak to a trained professional ticke at therapist. 587 00:30:23,440 --> 00:30:25,640 Speaker 2: You don't have to be afraid to talk about your mind. 588 00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:28,280 Speaker 2: And it doesn't make you less cool, It doesn't make 589 00:30:28,360 --> 00:30:33,080 Speaker 2: you any less afraid than we all are to be 590 00:30:33,200 --> 00:30:36,600 Speaker 2: here in this life and on earth. And for me, 591 00:30:37,000 --> 00:30:39,840 Speaker 2: I think that it has been an opportunity to be 592 00:30:39,840 --> 00:30:41,720 Speaker 2: able to talk about mental health because I think a 593 00:30:41,760 --> 00:30:43,600 Speaker 2: lot of people watch what we do, and they see 594 00:30:43,640 --> 00:30:47,760 Speaker 2: us go into these battle zones and embedded with militaries 595 00:30:47,760 --> 00:30:49,520 Speaker 2: and on the front lines of conflict around the world, 596 00:30:49,560 --> 00:30:52,560 Speaker 2: and they say, Wow, that guy, he's cool. He's there, 597 00:30:52,560 --> 00:30:54,400 Speaker 2: he's on the front lines. He's seen it. And I 598 00:30:54,400 --> 00:30:56,240 Speaker 2: want to be a voice for people who are afraid 599 00:30:56,280 --> 00:30:58,200 Speaker 2: to speak out about mental health and say, look, I 600 00:30:58,240 --> 00:31:00,360 Speaker 2: talk about it. You can talk about it too, and 601 00:31:00,520 --> 00:31:02,680 Speaker 2: you can go a step further. Not only talk about it, 602 00:31:02,720 --> 00:31:05,160 Speaker 2: but you can think of healthy ways to handle your mind. 603 00:31:05,360 --> 00:31:07,640 Speaker 2: You can do the coote exposure, you can do the 604 00:31:08,240 --> 00:31:10,080 Speaker 2: working out, the running, and you can try to have 605 00:31:10,120 --> 00:31:12,680 Speaker 2: a healthy lifestyle so that you can create an environment 606 00:31:12,760 --> 00:31:15,760 Speaker 2: for yourself to flourish and be the best version of yourself. 607 00:31:16,520 --> 00:31:19,800 Speaker 1: Trey yanks He is the chief foreign correspondent for Fox 608 00:31:19,880 --> 00:31:22,720 Speaker 1: on the Ground in Israel, the author of Black Saturday, 609 00:31:22,880 --> 00:31:25,960 Speaker 1: Unfiltered account of the October seventh attack on Israel in 610 00:31:26,040 --> 00:31:29,120 Speaker 1: the War on Got War in Gaza in bookstores now, 611 00:31:29,160 --> 00:31:31,680 Speaker 1: we appreciate your time.

The event retraces 620 00:31:56,960 --> 00:32:01,160 Speaker 1: firefighters Steven Siller's footsteps from the foot of the Battery 621 00:32:01,200 --> 00:32:03,640 Speaker 1: Tunnel to the Twin Towers where he raced on nine 622 00:32:03,680 --> 00:32:05,840 Speaker 1: to eleven to try to save lives and in the 623 00:32:05,880 --> 00:32:10,360 Speaker 1: process sacrificed his own.

I 662 00:34:17,200 --> 00:34:19,120 Speaker 3: have seen some stories about people who have finally been 663 00:34:19,160 --> 00:34:24,919 Speaker 3: able to get to their dogs. Some dogs people were 664 00:34:24,960 --> 00:34:27,439 Speaker 3: separated from them over the course of the storm, weren't 665 00:34:27,440 --> 00:34:29,400 Speaker 3: allowed to go back to their homes. Looks like people 666 00:34:29,440 --> 00:34:31,759 Speaker 3: are now being allowed to be a little bit more 667 00:34:31,800 --> 00:34:34,000 Speaker 3: mobile than they have been. There was a piece of 668 00:34:34,040 --> 00:34:36,319 Speaker 3: the New York Post but a guy who had a 669 00:34:36,320 --> 00:34:38,680 Speaker 3: helicopter and was just using his helicopter to save people, 670 00:34:38,719 --> 00:34:42,040 Speaker 3: and some local officials said, I'm going to rescue unless 671 00:34:42,040 --> 00:34:45,759 Speaker 3: you stop flying your helicopter around saving people. So we 672 00:34:45,880 --> 00:34:47,200 Speaker 3: got to keep an eye on how some of this 673 00:34:47,320 --> 00:34:52,960 Speaker 3: government stuff is going here, because look, what you saw 674 00:34:53,040 --> 00:34:57,000 Speaker 3: during COVID is that the government will do idiotic things 675 00:34:57,160 --> 00:35:01,600 Speaker 3: poorly and use its force not to save people, but 676 00:35:01,680 --> 00:35:04,560 Speaker 3: to make it harder for us to save each other. 677 00:35:04,680 --> 00:35:07,960 Speaker 3: And that's that's a very painful but very important lesson 678 00:35:07,960 --> 00:35:11,399 Speaker 3: that we saw during COVID, and I think the fact 679 00:35:11,440 --> 00:35:14,200 Speaker 3: that you have the administration you do right now overseeing 680 00:35:14,280 --> 00:35:17,280 Speaker 3: the federal effort means that we got to keep an eye. 681 00:35:17,120 --> 00:35:19,319 Speaker 3: I got to keep an eye on this stuff. I'm 682 00:35:19,320 --> 00:35:21,319 Speaker 3: sure there're a lot of good folks out there are 683 00:35:21,320 --> 00:35:22,880 Speaker 3: doing great work and trying to help out. I mean 684 00:35:22,920 --> 00:35:26,560 Speaker 3: from the leadership level, though, I mean, I'm hearing some 685 00:35:26,600 --> 00:35:29,920 Speaker 3: weird things about preventing people from getting back to their homes, 686 00:35:30,280 --> 00:35:32,560 Speaker 3: not letting people get out on the roads, not letting people, 687 00:35:32,719 --> 00:35:36,160 Speaker 3: you know, move freely. You know. It's it's like a 688 00:35:36,200 --> 00:35:39,000 Speaker 3: little pandemic esque in terms of we're just going to 689 00:35:39,040 --> 00:35:40,759 Speaker 3: make up rules and you have to obey them. 690 00:35:41,880 --> 00:35:45,400 Speaker 1: Not only that, I mean again with the longshoreman strike, 691 00:35:45,840 --> 00:35:48,320 Speaker 1: the fact that we're going to have two major interstates 692 00:35:48,320 --> 00:35:51,200 Speaker 1: it appears shut down for months I forty and I 693 00:35:51,239 --> 00:35:54,920 Speaker 1: believe I twenty five or I twenty six in that area. 694 00:35:55,360 --> 00:35:57,879 Speaker 1: We don't have the best minds working on this right 695 00:35:57,920 --> 00:36:00,920 Speaker 1: now in our government. Thanks to you, Elon, there may 696 00:36:00,960 --> 00:36:04,279 Speaker 1: be at least some starlink service for people out there 697 00:36:04,360 --> 00:36:06,920 Speaker 1: who are in North Carolina and East Tennessee and need help. 698 00:36:07,360 --> 00:36:09,560 Speaker 1: But we got to keep all these people thoughts, prayers, 699 00:36:09,640 --> 00:36:12,200 Speaker 1: and also if you have the resources to be able 700 00:36:12,239 --> 00:36:16,280 Speaker 1: to support, please do so because the government's not getting 701 00:36:16,320 --> 00:36:19,040 Speaker 1: everything done to take care of all these people. 702 00:36:19,800 --> 00:36:22,560 Speaker 3: Yeah, so anything you can do to help out in 703 00:36:22,600 --> 00:36:24,799 Speaker 3: that area.
