1 00:00:00,160 --> 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 00:00:05,200 --> 00:00:08,559 Speaker 2: Welcome everybody. Tuesday edition of Clay and Buck kicks off 4 00:00:08,760 --> 00:00:12,080 Speaker 2: right now. As you know, Clay on vacation in Australia 5 00:00:12,160 --> 00:00:16,080 Speaker 2: this week, so he is off. I'm in solo. He's 6 00:00:16,120 --> 00:00:18,880 Speaker 2: down there. He's having a good time, he's having fun. 7 00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:25,840 Speaker 2: We have much discussed today. Republican Texas Governor Greg Abbott 8 00:00:26,800 --> 00:00:30,880 Speaker 2: has approved new powers that allow police in the state 9 00:00:30,920 --> 00:00:34,640 Speaker 2: of Texas to arrest migrants who allieveably cross the border, 10 00:00:35,080 --> 00:00:38,280 Speaker 2: and has given local judges authority to send them out 11 00:00:38,320 --> 00:00:41,440 Speaker 2: of the country. I've got a lot for you on 12 00:00:41,479 --> 00:00:43,920 Speaker 2: the immigration issue today. We're going to get to that shortly. 13 00:00:44,200 --> 00:00:49,760 Speaker 2: You'll notice Democrats part of their Biden panic is around 14 00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:53,400 Speaker 2: the recognition that Biden will be on the ballot, therefore 15 00:00:53,479 --> 00:00:56,240 Speaker 2: illegal immigration will be or I should say, at least 16 00:00:56,320 --> 00:00:58,720 Speaker 2: a Democrat president will be on the ballot, but I 17 00:00:58,760 --> 00:01:03,560 Speaker 2: think it'll be Biden. But immigration, therefore, illegal immigration will 18 00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:07,480 Speaker 2: be on the ballot. And the Democrats have created a 19 00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:10,840 Speaker 2: huge problem for themselves. They wanted it. It's not an accident, 20 00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:14,039 Speaker 2: as I've been describing to you, but they recognize that 21 00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:18,400 Speaker 2: there are some concerns here as they look at the 22 00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:20,319 Speaker 2: numbers and they look at the reality of what is 23 00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:23,840 Speaker 2: going to be happening over the next nine months, ten 24 00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:26,880 Speaker 2: months or so. All Right, We've also got some new 25 00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:30,399 Speaker 2: data out about how Americans are feeling about the economy. 26 00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:37,200 Speaker 2: And we've got reporting that Biden is refusing to acknowledge 27 00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:40,920 Speaker 2: among top associates and even his family members how old 28 00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:43,720 Speaker 2: he is. They're all saying, dude, you're too old, and 29 00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:47,520 Speaker 2: he's like, no, I'm fine, I'm fine. What's your name again? 30 00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:51,040 Speaker 2: She's like, well, I'm Jill Biden. I'm your wife, doctor 31 00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:55,720 Speaker 2: Jill Biden. You say, we shall discuss that. We've also 32 00:01:56,080 --> 00:02:02,320 Speaker 2: got oh, boy, more on Harvard Harvard's president controversy. Oh 33 00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:06,280 Speaker 2: and Kathy Hokel, the governor of New York, signing a 34 00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:14,160 Speaker 2: legislation to start a reparations commission in New York State, 35 00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:18,880 Speaker 2: because that's what a state that is slowly going bankrupt 36 00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:23,800 Speaker 2: and also losing hundreds of thousands of particularly high earners, 37 00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:28,399 Speaker 2: that's what it should be focused on, a reparations committee. Okay, 38 00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:31,200 Speaker 2: we'll discuss that, but I actually wanted to start with 39 00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:34,000 Speaker 2: something else today, just to just to mix it up, 40 00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:38,280 Speaker 2: just to keep everybody on their toes. I was hopeful 41 00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:40,640 Speaker 2: we're gonna get at the immigration thing in a second, 42 00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:43,640 Speaker 2: because that's at a national level and political level, most 43 00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:49,360 Speaker 2: important story I think today that is breaking. But Eric Adams, 44 00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:53,040 Speaker 2: he is the mayor who replaced Bill de Blasio. Now 45 00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:56,320 Speaker 2: for my fellow New Yorkers out there, and high five 46 00:02:56,400 --> 00:02:59,480 Speaker 2: to all of our WR listeners and the whole New 47 00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:03,400 Speaker 2: York state area. You know what I'm talking about here. 48 00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:06,880 Speaker 2: It was always said that Deblasio was going to ruin 49 00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:09,600 Speaker 2: New York, and he did the best that he could. 50 00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:11,640 Speaker 2: He didn't fully ruin it. I still love New York. 51 00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:15,240 Speaker 2: I think I'll probably always love New York. But he 52 00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:17,680 Speaker 2: certainly made things worse than they would have otherwise been. 53 00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:22,800 Speaker 2: That was what Deblasio's contribution, you could say, to the 54 00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:27,360 Speaker 2: City of New York actually was. He did everything in 55 00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:30,359 Speaker 2: his power to make things worse. So when Eric Adams 56 00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:35,880 Speaker 2: came along, I think there was understandably some hope that 57 00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:39,400 Speaker 2: it would at least be better than what you had 58 00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:42,920 Speaker 2: under de Blasio, and that you wouldn't have the mayor 59 00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:47,160 Speaker 2: of New York, America's largest city vying for the title 60 00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:51,800 Speaker 2: along with the mayors of Chicago and San Francisco and 61 00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:57,040 Speaker 2: Portland of worst mayor in the country. Right, you were hoping, 62 00:03:57,240 --> 00:04:00,800 Speaker 2: could we just get out of that contest? Could we 63 00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:04,440 Speaker 2: get away from being in contention for the worst mayor 64 00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:08,560 Speaker 2: in America. Eric Adams has been a disappointment to those 65 00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:11,960 Speaker 2: of us who were hopeful, and at some level I 66 00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:15,160 Speaker 2: think with him, unlike with the Blasio where it was 67 00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:18,760 Speaker 2: ideological malevolence, I think with Eric Adams it's just a 68 00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:25,440 Speaker 2: lack of understanding of how the system really works, meaning 69 00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:29,720 Speaker 2: how to get things done within the massive bureaucracy that 70 00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:32,760 Speaker 2: he has inherited for the city of New York. And 71 00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:36,720 Speaker 2: he says things sometimes that make you go, hmmm, what 72 00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:40,520 Speaker 2: exactly is this? Here is the mayor of New York. 73 00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:45,520 Speaker 2: I want you to listen closely. I think he's trying 74 00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:48,240 Speaker 2: to say that New York is an incredible and dynamic place. 75 00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:52,800 Speaker 2: But listen to how he describes that dynamism. Play clip one. 76 00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:55,160 Speaker 3: When you look at the totality of the year, if 77 00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:56,920 Speaker 3: you had to describe it, and it'sough to do in 78 00:04:56,960 --> 00:04:58,599 Speaker 3: one word, what would that word be? 79 00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:00,240 Speaker 2: And tell me why New. 80 00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:04,200 Speaker 4: York this is a place where every day you wake up. 81 00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:08,440 Speaker 4: You could experience everything from a plane crashing into our 82 00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:13,560 Speaker 4: trace center to a person who's celebrating a new business 83 00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:18,120 Speaker 4: that's open. This is a very, very complicated city and 84 00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:21,320 Speaker 4: that's why this is the greatest city on the globe. 85 00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:26,039 Speaker 2: Yeah, come to New York where you could have like 86 00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:31,680 Speaker 2: a really fun birthday celebration. You can go get a 87 00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:36,400 Speaker 2: hot dog at Yankee Stadium. And also there could be 88 00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:39,920 Speaker 2: a mass casualty terror attack where they're running planes into buildings. 89 00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:44,320 Speaker 2: What you heard what he said? You heard what he said? 90 00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:44,720 Speaker 5: I don't know. 91 00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:49,479 Speaker 2: I mean, it was just bizarre. It was bizarre. He's like, Yeah, 92 00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:51,719 Speaker 2: come to New York City where maybe the planes are 93 00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:55,320 Speaker 2: running to the buildings, or maybe we won't have the 94 00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:59,800 Speaker 2: beginning of a global war on terrorism because of the 95 00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:05,000 Speaker 2: massive terror attack that brings down buildings. And wow, that 96 00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:07,040 Speaker 2: is the mayor of New York City. And this goes 97 00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:11,040 Speaker 2: to something else that I think ties into the sense 98 00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:14,479 Speaker 2: of pessimism that many people have about politics. Not just 99 00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:17,400 Speaker 2: right now, It's been growing for a while. You know. 100 00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:20,200 Speaker 2: I'm somebody likes to think a lot. I try to 101 00:06:20,279 --> 00:06:23,680 Speaker 2: learn lessons for today by looking at the past and 102 00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:26,320 Speaker 2: looking at history. And you know, for a long time, 103 00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:31,800 Speaker 2: you really only knew political leaders by policies that were 104 00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:35,240 Speaker 2: written down. So that means that things that were you know, 105 00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:38,799 Speaker 2: read over by staffers, are written by staffers and fact 106 00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:43,080 Speaker 2: checked and rule by committee. You knew what they were 107 00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:45,479 Speaker 2: doing based on what was written. Maybe you heard some 108 00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:50,600 Speaker 2: speeches that they gave. But in this new era of 109 00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:54,800 Speaker 2: total connectivity, whether it's via the social media accounts of 110 00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:59,239 Speaker 2: politicians or the social media accounts of people just walking around, 111 00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:01,680 Speaker 2: who can capture moments of politicians? Now I know this 112 00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:03,839 Speaker 2: was on TV, it wasn't even an off camera moment. 113 00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:08,640 Speaker 2: But with all this together, we have a much clearer picture, 114 00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:13,840 Speaker 2: a much clearer view of who are political leadership really 115 00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:17,280 Speaker 2: is now than ever before. And I think that that 116 00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:21,360 Speaker 2: is what is driving so much of the pessimism that 117 00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:23,520 Speaker 2: is out there, because we look at these guys and 118 00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:28,000 Speaker 2: we say and gals, and we say, what a bunch 119 00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:33,240 Speaker 2: of clowns. You know, there was something of I think 120 00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:35,640 Speaker 2: for a lot of Americans. You know, we used to 121 00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:41,920 Speaker 2: hold politicians in Yeah, we've always had a contempt for 122 00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:44,240 Speaker 2: politicians at some level, but there was also a sense 123 00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:46,880 Speaker 2: of at least respect for the office. And I think 124 00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:49,480 Speaker 2: there was a belief that even if we disagreed with 125 00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:53,440 Speaker 2: a lot of the people who were in charge, and 126 00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:55,800 Speaker 2: maybe this is nice, maybe this was never really the case. 127 00:07:55,840 --> 00:07:58,000 Speaker 2: I'm thinking back, you know, forty to fifty years ago, 128 00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:02,640 Speaker 2: a lot of the people in charge, we're really smart 129 00:08:02,680 --> 00:08:07,400 Speaker 2: and really worthwhile in their leadership roles, even if you 130 00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:11,160 Speaker 2: disagreed with them. And I think increasingly because of the 131 00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:14,200 Speaker 2: constant connectivity that we have had now really for the 132 00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:17,800 Speaker 2: last twenty some odd years, we just see them. We 133 00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:20,480 Speaker 2: go I cannot believe, you know, Congress is not sending 134 00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:22,560 Speaker 2: us their best. The White House is not sending us 135 00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:28,360 Speaker 2: their best. State representatives are not sending us their best. Now, 136 00:08:28,360 --> 00:08:30,840 Speaker 2: this is not to say there aren't exceptional and talented 137 00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:33,600 Speaker 2: people going to politics. Of course there are. But I 138 00:08:33,640 --> 00:08:36,880 Speaker 2: do think the same way that we have seen journalism 139 00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:41,320 Speaker 2: collapse as an institution that is really faith based at 140 00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:44,679 Speaker 2: some level, because you have to put faith in the 141 00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:46,880 Speaker 2: New York Times, you have to put faith in the 142 00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:49,880 Speaker 2: Washington Post and these other entities that they're trying to 143 00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:53,680 Speaker 2: do this thing called journalism, and that their real goal 144 00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:57,600 Speaker 2: is in propaganda. That has evaporated. One of the main 145 00:08:57,720 --> 00:09:02,199 Speaker 2: reasons that has evaporated. Guess Trump throwing haymakers at them 146 00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:07,160 Speaker 2: fake news. Sure, that has certainly helped. But more than 147 00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:10,520 Speaker 2: anything else, I think people have been exposed to this 148 00:09:10,559 --> 00:09:15,080 Speaker 2: phenomenon where you'll have a top political reporter for the 149 00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:19,079 Speaker 2: New York Times or a top you know, hard news 150 00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:21,760 Speaker 2: anchor for CNN or something. I know now that sounds 151 00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:25,840 Speaker 2: even more preposterous. And in the morning they're tweeting out, 152 00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:28,360 Speaker 2: you know, Donald Trump is hitler, and you see that 153 00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:30,400 Speaker 2: on social media. You go, whoa. And then at night 154 00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:33,480 Speaker 2: they're going, here, I am giving you unbiased news and 155 00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:35,760 Speaker 2: presenting you with just the facts, and people realize this 156 00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:39,560 Speaker 2: is a scam. This is a scam, and they've known 157 00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:42,400 Speaker 2: this now. I think we always had that perception. I mean, 158 00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:45,360 Speaker 2: I remember, gosh, I remember growing up and reading all 159 00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:48,719 Speaker 2: the conservative books and going to the different websites and 160 00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:51,520 Speaker 2: town Hall and Drugs used to be right wing and 161 00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:56,920 Speaker 2: and all these other places. And I would see, you know, 162 00:09:56,960 --> 00:10:00,080 Speaker 2: like Bernie Goldberg's book back in the Day, Bias, and 163 00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:02,600 Speaker 2: he would talk about how they were so biased in 164 00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:04,360 Speaker 2: the media they didn't even realize it, which is true. 165 00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:06,920 Speaker 2: They thought they were just being factual. But now it's 166 00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:12,520 Speaker 2: gotten even worse because we can see the inner recesses 167 00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:17,760 Speaker 2: of the leftist brain in the media and with members 168 00:10:17,760 --> 00:10:20,960 Speaker 2: of Congress too. You know, more than ever before, we 169 00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:24,440 Speaker 2: are exposed to what these people really think, and that 170 00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:29,760 Speaker 2: I believe is a major reason for the collapsing faith 171 00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:33,760 Speaker 2: in government institutions. The failures of the policy sure, no question, 172 00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:36,920 Speaker 2: failures of the policies, whether we're talking about COVID or 173 00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:39,640 Speaker 2: the forever wars abroad or the inability to tackle the 174 00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:42,959 Speaker 2: debt or the wide open border. The systems are failing. 175 00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:46,160 Speaker 2: But the individuals that we have entrusted to run some 176 00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:53,480 Speaker 2: of these places are honestly imbissiles, are below average intelligence, 177 00:10:54,160 --> 00:10:59,800 Speaker 2: are people who have neither work ethic nor integrity, and 178 00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:03,400 Speaker 2: they're really just a form of celebrity. Now. I mean 179 00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:06,000 Speaker 2: a lot of politicians are effectively celebrities, and it's just 180 00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:11,839 Speaker 2: a baseline popularity contest. They're not well versed in policy, 181 00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:14,360 Speaker 2: they don't have an understanding of the functions of government, 182 00:11:14,400 --> 00:11:17,320 Speaker 2: but they know how to get the rabble, the mob 183 00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:21,760 Speaker 2: riled up over something. And I just feel like that's 184 00:11:22,840 --> 00:11:25,760 Speaker 2: one of the strongest factors, perhaps the strongest factor we're 185 00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:29,160 Speaker 2: seeing now in the growing sense we have of I 186 00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:31,800 Speaker 2: cannot believe this is who was making these calls and 187 00:11:31,840 --> 00:11:35,319 Speaker 2: this is who was in charge. You know. I do 188 00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:39,240 Speaker 2: think that one of the reasons that Trump has been 189 00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:41,440 Speaker 2: as successful as he has in all this is that 190 00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:45,640 Speaker 2: he doesn't make a pretense of being a policy expert. Right. 191 00:11:45,679 --> 00:11:49,560 Speaker 2: He's not somebody who walks around acting like he is 192 00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:53,520 Speaker 2: a constitutional scholar. He is a guy who sells you 193 00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:58,000 Speaker 2: on his charisma and his gut level judgment and vision. 194 00:11:58,559 --> 00:12:01,160 Speaker 2: And you can be a big fan of that, or 195 00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:02,840 Speaker 2: you can disagree with it, or you know, a lot 196 00:12:02,880 --> 00:12:04,680 Speaker 2: of people there are obviously a lot of Trump haters 197 00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:07,320 Speaker 2: out there, but for all these other individuals, you know, 198 00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:09,280 Speaker 2: people that are saying, oh, I was on you know, 199 00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:12,200 Speaker 2: I'm on the Senate Foreign Relations Community Committee, so I 200 00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:14,839 Speaker 2: really know what I'm talking about, Or you know, I'm 201 00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:18,440 Speaker 2: I'm on the House Budget Committee, so I really no. 202 00:12:18,520 --> 00:12:21,400 Speaker 2: Not really. Their staff's do all the real work, and 203 00:12:21,440 --> 00:12:24,400 Speaker 2: they're just spending time trying to raise more money so 204 00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:26,840 Speaker 2: they can stay in power, so they can stay important 205 00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:30,520 Speaker 2: and eventually cash out in some capacity. You know, this 206 00:12:30,640 --> 00:12:33,760 Speaker 2: is I think they're a reality of the system that 207 00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:37,440 Speaker 2: we have now, and there's corruption that's a part of it. 208 00:12:37,480 --> 00:12:40,280 Speaker 2: But more than that, there's a sense that we could 209 00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:43,800 Speaker 2: be doing something better here. It could be a system 210 00:12:43,840 --> 00:12:48,800 Speaker 2: that produces excellence, or at least something approaching it, instead 211 00:12:48,840 --> 00:12:54,200 Speaker 2: of the greatest machinery for the elevation of mediocrity that 212 00:12:54,280 --> 00:12:56,280 Speaker 2: we could ever imagine, which is really what I think 213 00:12:56,320 --> 00:12:59,600 Speaker 2: the United States Congress and much of our political system 214 00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:02,520 Speaker 2: has been. I mean, Joe Biden as president. Maybe that's 215 00:13:02,559 --> 00:13:07,440 Speaker 2: the single, the single biggest indicator of this decline of 216 00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:10,640 Speaker 2: our political class. But I gotta say the mayor of 217 00:13:10,640 --> 00:13:13,880 Speaker 2: New York saying, yeah, come and visit. Maybe the planes 218 00:13:13,880 --> 00:13:17,400 Speaker 2: will running too, a skyscraper or maybe you can get 219 00:13:17,720 --> 00:13:20,400 Speaker 2: some great pad tie in the East village, Like wait 220 00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:25,680 Speaker 2: what Yeah, it's not not good, folks, but this is 221 00:13:25,679 --> 00:13:27,400 Speaker 2: where we are.

You could have 262 00:15:45,240 --> 00:15:49,800 Speaker 2: a groundhog Day movie. But there's a part where Bill 263 00:15:49,880 --> 00:15:51,960 Speaker 2: Murray it's just he's just had enough and he's like 264 00:15:52,080 --> 00:15:57,120 Speaker 2: thousands of people gathered together to worship a rat. That's 265 00:15:57,120 --> 00:16:00,400 Speaker 2: a good underrated. Groundhog Day is an underrated movie. But 266 00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:02,200 Speaker 2: I'm not trying. I'm not trying to go full Bill 267 00:16:02,280 --> 00:16:04,040 Speaker 2: Murray in the situation. But I'm just telling you the 268 00:16:04,120 --> 00:16:08,040 Speaker 2: numbers right now for the economy and how things are 269 00:16:08,040 --> 00:16:11,560 Speaker 2: looking are not great.

What's going on with that? Well, 283 00:16:48,120 --> 00:16:53,400 Speaker 2: for one thing, you notice there is nothing that Biden 284 00:16:53,640 --> 00:16:56,960 Speaker 2: and his cronies and his minions and his toadies, there 285 00:16:57,040 --> 00:17:01,960 Speaker 2: is nothing that they are saying that is uplifting or positive. 286 00:17:03,040 --> 00:17:06,480 Speaker 2: But the only accomplishment they can offer is Biden is 287 00:17:06,520 --> 00:17:10,719 Speaker 2: not Hitler and Trump is Hitler.

It's just constant whining, crying, victimization. It is depressing. 293 00:17:31,720 --> 00:17:35,280 Speaker 2: I'll be honest with you. This White House is depressing 294 00:17:35,880 --> 00:17:38,639 Speaker 2: Joe Biden and all the people around him. The Democrat 295 00:17:38,680 --> 00:17:43,440 Speaker 2: Party message right now, it's like Christmas run by malcontents. 296 00:17:43,880 --> 00:17:46,560 Speaker 2: It's like the Grinch is in charge of the whole thing, 297 00:17:46,640 --> 00:17:49,720 Speaker 2: and he's not gonna smile at the end because what 298 00:17:49,800 --> 00:17:53,520 Speaker 2: do they have to offer you Nothing.

So 335 00:20:08,680 --> 00:20:12,119 Speaker 2: credit where it's due. Joe Biden is better at destroying 336 00:20:12,160 --> 00:20:15,760 Speaker 2: our sovereignty and creating a wide open border than any 337 00:20:15,800 --> 00:20:20,640 Speaker 2: other president in history. Right, I don't know who else 338 00:20:20,680 --> 00:20:24,320 Speaker 2: would be up there. He's got seven million in three years. 339 00:20:25,280 --> 00:20:27,800 Speaker 2: I mean, these are impressive numbers. He's not putting up 340 00:20:27,880 --> 00:20:32,760 Speaker 2: rookie numbers when it comes to illegals. He's putting up seasoned, veteran, 341 00:20:33,280 --> 00:20:38,960 Speaker 2: superstar illegal immigrant crossing numbers. This guy is setting records 342 00:20:38,960 --> 00:20:42,760 Speaker 2: all over the place. And now we have the single 343 00:20:43,400 --> 00:20:47,800 Speaker 2: most lawless day at the US Mexico border, twelve thousand, 344 00:20:47,960 --> 00:20:52,199 Speaker 2: six hundred, and there are a thousands still waiting to 345 00:20:52,200 --> 00:20:56,359 Speaker 2: get through at the Eagle Pass. Bill Malugin pointing out 346 00:20:56,440 --> 00:21:00,400 Speaker 2: that it is there are so many illegals right now. 347 00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:02,840 Speaker 2: There's such a crush. Again, Gee, I wonder why this is. 348 00:21:02,880 --> 00:21:04,320 Speaker 2: Can I just take a step back before we get 349 00:21:04,320 --> 00:21:06,920 Speaker 2: to the Bill Malugan reporting, Why are there so many 350 00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:11,960 Speaker 2: right now even relative to what it was some months ago. Oh, 351 00:21:12,040 --> 00:21:14,600 Speaker 2: maybe it's because they know the Democrat plan is to 352 00:21:14,640 --> 00:21:17,480 Speaker 2: make it a little bit harder. In twenty twenty four, 353 00:21:17,760 --> 00:21:21,359 Speaker 2: it's a head fake, everybody. They go, oh, yeah, the 354 00:21:21,480 --> 00:21:24,520 Speaker 2: Senate's working to we're gonna close down the border, we're 355 00:21:24,520 --> 00:21:26,520 Speaker 2: gonna do all these important things to make sure the 356 00:21:26,560 --> 00:21:30,520 Speaker 2: border's secure. And then as soon as the election happens, 357 00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:34,080 Speaker 2: and if a Democrat wins, guess what, Oh, we need 358 00:21:34,160 --> 00:21:37,040 Speaker 2: amnesty now, and they let the border wide open all 359 00:21:37,040 --> 00:21:40,600 Speaker 2: over again. This is what they do. This is the 360 00:21:40,720 --> 00:21:43,960 Speaker 2: classic move. They did this in twenty twelve. Go back 361 00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:48,040 Speaker 2: and see the media started calling Obama the deporter in chief. Oh, 362 00:21:48,080 --> 00:21:51,200 Speaker 2: Obama's so tough on everygreds. As soon as he won reelection, 363 00:21:51,320 --> 00:21:56,120 Speaker 2: it was you know, we need, we need amnesty. That's 364 00:21:56,160 --> 00:21:59,199 Speaker 2: what we need amnesty. And you say there, you sit there, 365 00:21:59,240 --> 00:22:02,399 Speaker 2: and you say, well, hold on a second, hold on 366 00:22:02,440 --> 00:22:06,960 Speaker 2: a second. Why are they all coming right now? Because 367 00:22:06,960 --> 00:22:11,679 Speaker 2: they know this. The illegals know this. Many of them, 368 00:22:11,720 --> 00:22:13,680 Speaker 2: you have to remember, most of them, almost all of them, 369 00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:18,399 Speaker 2: are paying human smugglers, coyotes, the term that you use 370 00:22:18,480 --> 00:22:21,880 Speaker 2: for them working for the cartels. They pay them thousands 371 00:22:21,920 --> 00:22:26,000 Speaker 2: of dollars for this. So who really controls the US 372 00:22:26,119 --> 00:22:27,720 Speaker 2: Mexico border the drug cartels? 373 00:22:27,760 --> 00:22:27,800 Speaker 4: Do? 374 00:22:29,160 --> 00:22:33,960 Speaker 2: We just have a welcoming committee now. And this is 375 00:22:34,400 --> 00:22:36,600 Speaker 2: not a knock on Border patrol. Border Patrol has been 376 00:22:36,640 --> 00:22:40,480 Speaker 2: screaming to high Heaven about this the entirety of the 377 00:22:40,480 --> 00:22:47,240 Speaker 2: Bide administration. They are overwhelmed. And the policy of the cartels, 378 00:22:47,280 --> 00:22:50,600 Speaker 2: which are basically acting like the government, is to make 379 00:22:50,640 --> 00:22:54,200 Speaker 2: sure that they keep them overwhelmed, because not only does 380 00:22:54,240 --> 00:22:58,280 Speaker 2: it mean the human smuggling continues at a pace that 381 00:22:58,320 --> 00:23:01,760 Speaker 2: has never been seen before, may making the cartels billions 382 00:23:01,800 --> 00:23:07,440 Speaker 2: of dollars, but it also means that they can move 383 00:23:07,680 --> 00:23:12,359 Speaker 2: illegal drugs more or less with impunity, which enrich the 384 00:23:12,359 --> 00:23:15,560 Speaker 2: cartels and which kill one hundred thousand Americans a year. 385 00:23:16,840 --> 00:23:19,080 Speaker 2: One hundred thousand Americas, I think it was one hundred 386 00:23:19,080 --> 00:23:20,960 Speaker 2: and five thousand was the number last year or something 387 00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:25,600 Speaker 2: like that. And of that seventy percent are opioid overdoses. 388 00:23:26,480 --> 00:23:28,360 Speaker 2: And I said this at the time and I meant it. 389 00:23:29,040 --> 00:23:31,520 Speaker 2: I think one of the most important points that Vivek 390 00:23:31,640 --> 00:23:35,040 Speaker 2: Ramaswami has made in his run for president, is that 391 00:23:35,280 --> 00:23:39,800 Speaker 2: many of those overdoses, thousands of them, are poisonings because 392 00:23:39,840 --> 00:23:43,840 Speaker 2: people are taking they're taking a drug from a hot 393 00:23:43,880 --> 00:23:46,280 Speaker 2: batch where they think they're taking one pill but it's 394 00:23:46,280 --> 00:23:49,240 Speaker 2: got way more fentanyl limit than or they're taking something 395 00:23:49,280 --> 00:23:53,719 Speaker 2: stamped to look like it is an official prescription drug, 396 00:23:54,359 --> 00:23:56,119 Speaker 2: so they go, okay, well my doctor, you know this 397 00:23:56,160 --> 00:23:57,840 Speaker 2: is what my doctors prescribed me in the past, so 398 00:23:57,880 --> 00:23:59,440 Speaker 2: I can take this. And it's say no, it's actually 399 00:23:59,480 --> 00:24:03,000 Speaker 2: from a cartel. The person dies. That's poisoning. That's not 400 00:24:03,040 --> 00:24:05,840 Speaker 2: even just overdose, although overdose is obviously a component of it. 401 00:24:06,680 --> 00:24:08,800 Speaker 2: Bill Malusa, though pointing this out, he's down to the 402 00:24:08,800 --> 00:24:10,720 Speaker 2: border for Fox News. This has cut four. 403 00:24:10,680 --> 00:24:13,480 Speaker 3: The railway bridge has been shut down in the Eagle 404 00:24:13,560 --> 00:24:17,679 Speaker 3: Pass also in El Paso. CBP doing that to redeploy 405 00:24:17,720 --> 00:24:21,679 Speaker 3: personnel to help border patrol with migrant processing, and Union 406 00:24:21,720 --> 00:24:24,480 Speaker 3: Pacific is not happy about that decision. They tweeted in 407 00:24:24,520 --> 00:24:27,359 Speaker 3: part quote Union Pacific urges the Egle Pass and l 408 00:24:27,400 --> 00:24:31,400 Speaker 3: Pass of border crossings to be reopened immediately. Roughly four 409 00:24:31,480 --> 00:24:34,399 Speaker 3: hundred and fifty thousand rail shipments move across these two 410 00:24:34,480 --> 00:24:37,240 Speaker 3: gateways annually. It would take over one million trucks to 411 00:24:37,280 --> 00:24:40,399 Speaker 3: move the same amount of goods. These locations represent forty 412 00:24:40,440 --> 00:24:43,679 Speaker 3: five percent of cross border Union Pacific business and include 413 00:24:43,760 --> 00:24:47,000 Speaker 3: goods critical to the US economy. So essentially, they are 414 00:24:47,040 --> 00:24:50,280 Speaker 3: shutting down international commerce in these spots to help speed 415 00:24:50,359 --> 00:24:51,480 Speaker 3: up migrant processing. 416 00:24:52,560 --> 00:24:58,440 Speaker 2: They are shutting down international commerce to take border patrol 417 00:24:58,600 --> 00:25:03,480 Speaker 2: and security resources to make sure that all the illegals 418 00:25:03,880 --> 00:25:07,080 Speaker 2: get into the country faster because they're piling up so 419 00:25:07,320 --> 00:25:12,919 Speaker 2: fast at the border. If this isn't an open border, 420 00:25:12,920 --> 00:25:17,720 Speaker 2: what is And if this isn't an obvious program by 421 00:25:17,760 --> 00:25:27,680 Speaker 2: the Democrats to change the country and to create an 422 00:25:27,840 --> 00:25:33,240 Speaker 2: arbitrary tyranny, an arbitrary tyranny where the law is only 423 00:25:33,400 --> 00:25:36,600 Speaker 2: enforced as it suits the political needs of the left. 424 00:25:37,560 --> 00:25:42,440 Speaker 2: These immigrations, these aren't being enforced. I understand whenever they say, oh, 425 00:25:42,480 --> 00:25:45,639 Speaker 2: but we're overwhelmed. The system is broke with immigration. You know, 426 00:25:45,720 --> 00:25:49,560 Speaker 2: any prosecutor could say, could say now they might face 427 00:25:49,600 --> 00:25:51,639 Speaker 2: some kind of sanction higher up the chain, or they 428 00:25:51,720 --> 00:25:54,119 Speaker 2: might have a governor like Governor DeSantis has who steps 429 00:25:54,119 --> 00:25:56,280 Speaker 2: in and says you're not doing your job. He did 430 00:25:56,280 --> 00:25:58,400 Speaker 2: that in Florida with a prosecutor. I think a couple 431 00:25:58,400 --> 00:26:02,960 Speaker 2: of them actually, but anyone can have a prosecutor say, oh, 432 00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:05,000 Speaker 2: you committed a murder. Yeah, you know, we just don't 433 00:26:05,040 --> 00:26:08,040 Speaker 2: have the resources, so we can't prosecute this one, so 434 00:26:08,080 --> 00:26:11,119 Speaker 2: we're going to let you go. It's no aification of 435 00:26:11,160 --> 00:26:14,080 Speaker 2: the law, that's what that is. But any any prosecutor 436 00:26:14,119 --> 00:26:19,159 Speaker 2: can do that. They have prosecutorial discretion. The system we 437 00:26:19,200 --> 00:26:21,879 Speaker 2: have of prisons, Bureau of Prisons could say, or you know, 438 00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:24,440 Speaker 2: depending if we're talking about the state or federal, but 439 00:26:24,480 --> 00:26:26,679 Speaker 2: they can say, oh, we don't have the beds, so 440 00:26:26,760 --> 00:26:28,840 Speaker 2: we have to just let you. Let you go. That 441 00:26:28,960 --> 00:26:31,960 Speaker 2: also happens in different states. We don't have the beds. 442 00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:33,720 Speaker 2: You committed a crime, you should go to prison, but 443 00:26:33,760 --> 00:26:36,840 Speaker 2: you know, we don't have the space. So you sit there. 444 00:26:36,840 --> 00:26:40,440 Speaker 2: You say, So, what crimes are clearly or always going 445 00:26:40,480 --> 00:26:44,600 Speaker 2: to be punished, Well, depends what they decide. What immigration 446 00:26:44,840 --> 00:26:47,560 Speaker 2: laws are going to be enforced. Well, man, you know, 447 00:26:47,640 --> 00:26:50,359 Speaker 2: if you're a if you're an American and you want to, 448 00:26:50,680 --> 00:26:53,919 Speaker 2: you know, marry an Irish national and she comes here 449 00:26:53,960 --> 00:26:55,880 Speaker 2: and she wants to get a green card or something, Oh, 450 00:26:55,920 --> 00:26:57,920 Speaker 2: you're going to go through the interviews, and you better 451 00:26:57,960 --> 00:27:00,439 Speaker 2: not commit, better not be a green card mayor, or 452 00:27:00,600 --> 00:27:02,879 Speaker 2: you're good. You can get five years in federal prison 453 00:27:02,920 --> 00:27:06,040 Speaker 2: for that. Oh, very very strict, very strict about those laws. 454 00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:09,720 Speaker 2: But all the people coming to the country who are lying, 455 00:27:09,960 --> 00:27:14,320 Speaker 2: they are lying. They are not asylum seekers. This was 456 00:27:14,359 --> 00:27:21,639 Speaker 2: the This is the the primary point of falsehood is 457 00:27:21,640 --> 00:27:23,440 Speaker 2: that these people are assigned. This is what the media 458 00:27:23,480 --> 00:27:25,280 Speaker 2: calls them. And also notice how that they're calling the 459 00:27:25,359 --> 00:27:29,480 Speaker 2: migrants all the time they're illegal aliens. They're illegal aliens, 460 00:27:29,520 --> 00:27:31,080 Speaker 2: just like they were ten years ago, and ten years 461 00:27:31,119 --> 00:27:33,240 Speaker 2: before that and ten years before that. But now they're 462 00:27:33,240 --> 00:27:35,320 Speaker 2: even changing the way they speak about them within the 463 00:27:35,320 --> 00:27:38,880 Speaker 2: federal government. They're changing federal regulations to change the name 464 00:27:38,920 --> 00:27:41,200 Speaker 2: of them. I mean, if they can, they'll start calling 465 00:27:41,200 --> 00:27:43,480 Speaker 2: them undocumented. What does that even mean. It doesn't mean anything. 466 00:27:43,520 --> 00:27:48,760 Speaker 2: It's a nonsense phrase, but it obscures the truth. These 467 00:27:48,880 --> 00:27:53,040 Speaker 2: Kamis in the Biden regime understand that as long as 468 00:27:53,080 --> 00:27:56,600 Speaker 2: the American people don't know what's going on or aren't 469 00:27:56,640 --> 00:28:00,000 Speaker 2: able to figure it out clearly enough, they the Biden 470 00:28:00,200 --> 00:28:03,280 Speaker 2: team will have a free hand to do things like this. 471 00:28:05,040 --> 00:28:07,239 Speaker 2: And I hear people saying well, what shouldn't we have, 472 00:28:08,520 --> 00:28:11,280 Speaker 2: you know, shouldn't we have impeachment of Biden on these issues? 473 00:28:11,320 --> 00:28:13,480 Speaker 2: And shouldn't we impeach Biden because of all the money? 474 00:28:13,480 --> 00:28:17,040 Speaker 2: And shouldn't we impeach Biden? Do we think we'll have 475 00:28:17,080 --> 00:28:20,399 Speaker 2: the votes to get a conviction. That's not a knock 476 00:28:20,400 --> 00:28:23,000 Speaker 2: on the strategy of impeachment. That's just a question about 477 00:28:24,080 --> 00:28:26,239 Speaker 2: we're going to get every Republican to go along with it. 478 00:28:26,440 --> 00:28:28,959 Speaker 2: We're sure about that, and what will it do and 479 00:28:28,960 --> 00:28:30,560 Speaker 2: what will the effect be on the polls? Now, you 480 00:28:30,560 --> 00:28:33,560 Speaker 2: can take the opinion as I think many do. It 481 00:28:33,600 --> 00:28:35,960 Speaker 2: doesn't matter. It's the right thing to do. It's the 482 00:28:36,080 --> 00:28:39,440 Speaker 2: right thing to use the system and use the power 483 00:28:39,480 --> 00:28:42,640 Speaker 2: Republicans have to at least try to do something about this. 484 00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:47,840 Speaker 2: And I think that can be a persuasive argument. There's also, though, 485 00:28:48,560 --> 00:28:50,600 Speaker 2: the reality we have to deal with right now of 486 00:28:51,560 --> 00:28:56,000 Speaker 2: with Biden plummeting so much, and with it seems the 487 00:28:56,680 --> 00:29:01,440 Speaker 2: prosecute Trump's strategy being such a failure. Do we want 488 00:29:01,480 --> 00:29:04,280 Speaker 2: to interrupt the enemy while they're making a mistake? Right? 489 00:29:04,840 --> 00:29:08,200 Speaker 2: Was in this one of napoleons at great attributions. Never 490 00:29:08,280 --> 00:29:11,720 Speaker 2: interrupt your enemy when he's making a mistake. My understanding 491 00:29:11,760 --> 00:29:14,200 Speaker 2: is you wouldn't know that from watching the Napoleon movie, 492 00:29:14,240 --> 00:29:16,080 Speaker 2: which was such a disappointment.

Anyway, She's 539 00:31:39,720 --> 00:31:41,960 Speaker 2: an Australian Labradoodle. For any of you who are wondering. 540 00:31:42,040 --> 00:31:44,560 Speaker 2: Yesterday we posted a photo on clayanbuck dot com. A 541 00:31:44,640 --> 00:31:48,560 Speaker 2: lot of people thought goldendoodle, which is close, but it 542 00:31:48,680 --> 00:31:53,440 Speaker 2: is a labradoodle from the Australian breeding line of labradoodles. 543 00:31:53,480 --> 00:31:54,800 Speaker 2: I am told I don't even know this was a 544 00:31:54,840 --> 00:31:57,480 Speaker 2: dog until my wife wanted one. So I wanted to 545 00:31:57,480 --> 00:32:01,200 Speaker 2: get an English bulldog, all fat and snorty and regal. 546 00:32:01,480 --> 00:32:03,920 Speaker 2: But I love little Ginger. She's fantastic. We have a 547 00:32:03,920 --> 00:32:07,160 Speaker 2: lot of fun. All right, calls are up. We have 548 00:32:07,640 --> 00:32:13,760 Speaker 2: Bill in Alabama. What's going on? Bill? Hey? But great show. 549 00:32:14,800 --> 00:32:17,200 Speaker 5: You know everybody's talking about all the illegals and the 550 00:32:17,240 --> 00:32:20,560 Speaker 5: records that are breaking and everything. But nobody's talking about 551 00:32:20,600 --> 00:32:23,720 Speaker 5: the twelfth to twenty million that we're here before. 552 00:32:23,440 --> 00:32:25,440 Speaker 2: Biden took office. 553 00:32:25,600 --> 00:32:27,480 Speaker 5: Nobody nobody talks about him anymore. 554 00:32:27,960 --> 00:32:30,160 Speaker 2: I mean, I do I think I mentioned twenty to 555 00:32:30,200 --> 00:32:33,080 Speaker 2: thirty million yesterday to be fair, No, maybe you did 556 00:32:33,200 --> 00:32:33,680 Speaker 2: not miss it. 557 00:32:33,960 --> 00:32:35,200 Speaker 5: I'm in and out sometimes. 558 00:32:36,200 --> 00:32:38,080 Speaker 2: Well, Bill, I think the real problem here is you 559 00:32:38,080 --> 00:32:39,720 Speaker 2: have to listen to all three hours of Clay and 560 00:32:39,760 --> 00:32:42,320 Speaker 2: Buck go to the podcast for on demand. But I 561 00:32:42,400 --> 00:32:45,320 Speaker 2: hear what you're saying, man, I mean, the seven million 562 00:32:45,440 --> 00:32:49,360 Speaker 2: is just so egregious because it's been so fast that 563 00:32:49,680 --> 00:32:53,040 Speaker 2: I do think people lose sight of the tens of 564 00:32:53,080 --> 00:32:56,640 Speaker 2: millions who are already in the country. And I'm gonna 565 00:32:56,680 --> 00:32:58,640 Speaker 2: tell you it's gonna be very hard. You know. Trump 566 00:32:58,640 --> 00:33:01,120 Speaker 2: is saying there's gonna be a lot of deports those 567 00:33:01,120 --> 00:33:04,400 Speaker 2: who have just arrived under Biden. Because of the time 568 00:33:05,080 --> 00:33:07,240 Speaker 2: horizon we're talking about, I think you have a good 569 00:33:07,320 --> 00:33:10,640 Speaker 2: chance of being able to deport a large number of 570 00:33:10,640 --> 00:33:14,000 Speaker 2: them pretty easily within the system. By those who have 571 00:33:14,080 --> 00:33:17,280 Speaker 2: been here for many years. They're going to have kids 572 00:33:17,320 --> 00:33:19,680 Speaker 2: here who are US citizens because of the way we 573 00:33:19,760 --> 00:33:22,280 Speaker 2: treat anyone born here, even if they're an illegal giving 574 00:33:22,320 --> 00:33:25,200 Speaker 2: birth to somebody in this country birthright citizenship. They're gonna 575 00:33:25,200 --> 00:33:26,840 Speaker 2: have people that have been, you know, working in communities 576 00:33:26,840 --> 00:33:29,600 Speaker 2: for a long time. And again, you know, I don't 577 00:33:29,960 --> 00:33:32,760 Speaker 2: it's there's no animosity. I don't dislike any of the 578 00:33:32,760 --> 00:33:34,640 Speaker 2: people who have come here illegal. Well, I mean, there's 579 00:33:34,720 --> 00:33:36,360 Speaker 2: some of them are horrible criminals, but you know, the 580 00:33:36,560 --> 00:33:38,480 Speaker 2: the ninety nine percent of people who are just coming 581 00:33:38,480 --> 00:33:40,160 Speaker 2: here because they want to be in a better economy, 582 00:33:40,600 --> 00:33:42,920 Speaker 2: I don't dislike them the same way that if I 583 00:33:42,960 --> 00:33:45,880 Speaker 2: find out that, you know, somebody may be you know, 584 00:33:46,040 --> 00:33:48,400 Speaker 2: they shaved a little bit off their taxes. I don't 585 00:33:48,400 --> 00:33:50,640 Speaker 2: think they're like a bad person. But it is against 586 00:33:50,680 --> 00:33:53,840 Speaker 2: the law, you know, and it is a problem. It 587 00:33:53,920 --> 00:33:55,880 Speaker 2: is the thing that you're not supposed to do. And 588 00:33:55,920 --> 00:33:58,320 Speaker 2: in the context of mass thanks for calling in bill. 589 00:33:58,560 --> 00:34:02,480 Speaker 2: In the context of mass legal immigration, it's changing the 590 00:34:02,520 --> 00:34:06,040 Speaker 2: country that we live in. Obviously, it is changing the country. 591 00:34:06,040 --> 00:34:08,440 Speaker 2: You know, just just do the do this on a 592 00:34:08,440 --> 00:34:15,080 Speaker 2: smaller scale. I think, you know, Sweden has ten million. 593 00:34:15,360 --> 00:34:17,279 Speaker 2: I think ten million people live in Sweden. Team check 594 00:34:17,320 --> 00:34:20,520 Speaker 2: me on that one. Usually my global factbook population knowledge 595 00:34:20,560 --> 00:34:22,040 Speaker 2: is pretty solid. But I think Sweden has like ten 596 00:34:22,040 --> 00:34:25,600 Speaker 2: million people something like that. If Sweden took in three 597 00:34:25,680 --> 00:34:30,040 Speaker 2: million immigrants from you know, from all over the world, 598 00:34:30,080 --> 00:34:32,120 Speaker 2: all at once, would it be the same country? Would 599 00:34:32,120 --> 00:34:35,280 Speaker 2: it have the same culture and politics and everything else. Well, 600 00:34:35,400 --> 00:34:38,279 Speaker 2: if someone wants to answer yes to that, you would say, well, 601 00:34:38,320 --> 00:34:42,520 Speaker 2: what is assimilation? Then doesn't assimilation require time? And isn't 602 00:34:42,520 --> 00:34:45,520 Speaker 2: there a limit to the ability of a society to 603 00:34:45,560 --> 00:34:49,480 Speaker 2: integrate and assimilate new arrivals. Isn't that why we have 604 00:34:49,480 --> 00:34:52,440 Speaker 2: an immigration system. The people who get so mad when 605 00:34:52,480 --> 00:34:55,040 Speaker 2: I make these arguments never have an answer to, well, 606 00:34:55,080 --> 00:34:58,520 Speaker 2: then why even have an immigration system? Why not just 607 00:34:58,600 --> 00:35:02,399 Speaker 2: let anyone come? Now, there are some you know, more 608 00:35:03,400 --> 00:35:06,600 Speaker 2: libertarian Cato Institute types are saying, yeah, it's just like 609 00:35:06,640 --> 00:35:08,840 Speaker 2: a big economic zone. Let everyone come and go. Yeah, 610 00:35:09,120 --> 00:35:10,680 Speaker 2: it's gonna work out great. When we have to go 611 00:35:10,719 --> 00:35:12,600 Speaker 2: to war with China in twenty years and they're saying, 612 00:35:12,640 --> 00:35:14,320 Speaker 2: all right, will you give your life for your country, 613 00:35:14,320 --> 00:35:16,040 Speaker 2: You're like, I don't know. Am I gonna give my 614 00:35:16,080 --> 00:35:21,160 Speaker 2: life for the economic zone where three hundred languages are 615 00:35:21,200 --> 00:35:25,279 Speaker 2: spoken and there's no shared culture, history, or political or 616 00:35:25,320 --> 00:35:27,520 Speaker 2: ideological identity. I don't know, I think I'll just go 617 00:35:27,600 --> 00:35:32,960 Speaker 2: hang out in Monaco for a while. Thanks. That's the situation, 618 00:35:34,080 --> 00:35:38,160 Speaker 2: kent in Nevada. What's going on? Kent Hey, keent. 619 00:35:38,600 --> 00:35:40,480 Speaker 5: Hey book, Thanks for taking my call. I appreciate it. 620 00:35:41,400 --> 00:35:44,319 Speaker 5: One of the things that I see is that that's 621 00:35:44,400 --> 00:35:47,360 Speaker 5: kind of indicative of all the radical left. It seems 622 00:35:47,440 --> 00:35:50,400 Speaker 5: like is a buddy of mine who's conservative, his father 623 00:35:50,600 --> 00:35:52,560 Speaker 5: is a full liberal. 624 00:35:52,160 --> 00:35:53,440 Speaker 2: And he was saying. 625 00:35:54,640 --> 00:35:57,080 Speaker 5: He was saying, yeah, it doesn't matter to my dad 626 00:35:57,360 --> 00:36:00,840 Speaker 5: whether the whole you know, where a whole landscape is 627 00:36:00,960 --> 00:36:05,680 Speaker 5: scorched earth with the radical agenda. It doesn't matter about 628 00:36:05,719 --> 00:36:08,880 Speaker 5: the immigration, it doesn't matter about it doesn't matter about 629 00:36:09,160 --> 00:36:11,440 Speaker 5: the mandates, it doesn't matter anything as long as we 630 00:36:11,440 --> 00:36:14,640 Speaker 5: don't have somebody in office who tweets mean things. And 631 00:36:14,719 --> 00:36:18,600 Speaker 5: I honestly, that is exactly indicative, in my opinion, of 632 00:36:18,640 --> 00:36:21,479 Speaker 5: where the radical left is. They don't get, they don't care, 633 00:36:22,080 --> 00:36:24,440 Speaker 5: they don't care at all about what's happening. 634 00:36:24,560 --> 00:36:26,120 Speaker 2: Is long as long as they don't have. 635 00:36:26,120 --> 00:36:29,719 Speaker 5: Somebody in there that has their idea of what a 636 00:36:30,400 --> 00:36:32,319 Speaker 5: mean person is. I mean, they could let the whole 637 00:36:32,320 --> 00:36:34,200 Speaker 5: world burn around them. And just as long as they 638 00:36:34,200 --> 00:36:35,400 Speaker 5: don't have them in there, and I don't. 639 00:36:35,200 --> 00:36:37,359 Speaker 2: Know, is that kind of your take on it as well? Oh, 640 00:36:37,600 --> 00:36:39,719 Speaker 2: I mean with the hard left in this country, absolutely, 641 00:36:40,440 --> 00:36:45,640 Speaker 2: they they suffer from end stage Trump derangement syndrome. They 642 00:36:45,680 --> 00:36:49,439 Speaker 2: would vote for Kim Jong un truly literally Kim Jong 643 00:36:49,520 --> 00:36:52,560 Speaker 2: un over Donald Trump. They are completely out of their 644 00:36:52,600 --> 00:36:55,520 Speaker 2: minds and some of them have their own shows on MSNBC.
