Verdict with Ted Cruz - Bonus： Daily Review with Clay and Buck

00:00:00.000 This is an iHeart Podcast.

00:00:02.400 Guaranteed human.

00:00:04.160 Welcome in.

00:00:05.440 Tuesday edition.

00:00:06.420 Clay Travis, Buck Sexton Show.

00:00:09.240 We've got a fun one headed your way

00:00:11.520 as we continue to discuss the fallout

00:00:14.180 of Maduro being seized in Venezuela.

00:00:18.360 We are expecting for there to be,

00:00:20.600 I believe, another out there

00:00:24.360 of the Tim Walls press conferences

00:00:27.140 as his political career is in shambles.

00:00:30.580 We will discuss all of that with you and more.

00:00:34.800 We'll also open up phone lines.

00:00:36.240 We didn't take very many calls.

00:00:37.640 Your talkbacks as well to allow you

00:00:39.860 to ask the questions that you may have

00:00:41.940 surrounding everything having to do

00:00:44.780 with the Venezuela situation

00:00:47.120 as well as maybe the Tim Walls continued fallout

00:00:49.980 because if Venezuela hadn't happened,

00:00:52.380 the Minnesota fraud story

00:00:54.220 and the fact that Tim Walls

00:00:57.580 has gone from, what, 240,000 votes

00:01:00.660 away from being vice president,

00:01:02.380 a heartbeat away from the presidency,

00:01:04.640 to basically having his complete

00:01:06.720 political career be over.

00:01:08.180 And I don't know about you, Buck, on this,

00:01:10.420 but let's kind of dive in.

00:01:11.920 Do you agree with me

00:01:12.840 that if Kamala hadn't picked Tim Walls,

00:01:15.520 he probably runs for governor again,

00:01:18.160 gets elected?

00:01:19.020 People don't really pay that much attention

00:01:20.660 to the Minnesota fraud situation

00:01:22.780 just because Minnesota is not typically

00:01:24.780 the focal point of any major national news stories.

00:01:28.680 And yes, the fraud would have still existed.

00:01:30.800 It would have been indefensible,

00:01:31.780 but it wouldn't have been out there

00:01:34.240 in the public arena to such an extent.

00:01:36.860 And so Tim Walls would have gotten reelected

00:01:38.980 and he would have continued right on

00:01:41.060 with the path that he was already on.

00:01:43.720 Yes, in a twist of irony,

00:01:46.220 the guy who Democrats put forward

00:01:48.800 to be the avatar of American masculinity

00:01:52.300 is losing his political future

00:01:55.740 after, one, people questioning

00:01:58.580 whether he was a good avatar of that masculinity,

00:02:01.680 broadly mocking him,

00:02:03.240 and two, he is a household name now

00:02:06.140 because of his short and ill-fated run

00:02:07.960 and therefore the wild corruption

00:02:10.640 that has been unearthed in Minneapolis

00:02:13.040 is a much bigger story

00:02:15.220 because the governor of Minneapolis,

00:02:18.440 Tim Walls, is a national figure,

00:02:19.880 which he would not have been before.

00:02:21.520 I mean, if I sat here right now

00:02:22.680 and asked everybody,

00:02:23.500 if you don't live in the state of Idaho,

00:02:25.840 who's the governor of Idaho, everybody?

00:02:29.040 Everybody knows the governor of Minnesota, though.

00:02:31.360 By the way, no shade to the governor of Idaho.

00:02:34.320 I think he's a Republican,

00:02:36.040 but I'm with you.

00:02:37.100 I don't know who the governor of Idaho is.

00:02:38.640 He might be listening right now.

00:02:39.860 We love Idaho,

00:02:40.780 and we've always been a big fan of your work.

00:02:43.480 Celebrate your entire catalog, in fact.

00:02:46.140 You know, when you look at that,

00:02:48.740 I think it's also emblematic.

00:02:50.920 Did you send out a tweet I think I saw

00:02:53.560 where you're just like,

00:02:54.220 what if Democrats are just horribly wrong

00:02:56.420 about everything?

00:02:57.560 Yep.

00:02:58.080 And I do think there's a lot of truth to that,

00:03:00.460 but to me, the Tim Walls entire experience

00:03:03.760 is indicative of the fact that Democrats,

00:03:07.380 by and large, look at voters

00:03:09.660 like zoo animals.

00:03:11.740 They have to go out in the wild,

00:03:13.880 they look at men,

00:03:15.440 and they think, you know,

00:03:16.520 in the same way,

00:03:17.200 was it Diane Fossey,

00:03:18.700 who was, I think,

00:03:20.080 one of the great primatologists,

00:03:22.560 if that's a word.

00:03:23.040 You're talking about gorillas,

00:03:23.840 gorillas in the mist?

00:03:25.060 Gorillas in the mist.

00:03:25.580 And there was Jane Goodall

00:03:26.840 with the chimpanzees, yes.

00:03:28.440 They would go out,

00:03:29.480 and they would sit in the wild,

00:03:32.460 and they would observe

00:03:33.860 what the chimpanzees did,

00:03:35.880 what the gorillas did,

00:03:37.060 in an effort to understand

00:03:39.060 how their society works.

00:03:41.380 Democrats now are like that with men.

00:03:44.980 I'm not kidding about this.

00:03:46.660 They sit there,

00:03:47.940 and they've got their notepad out,

00:03:49.840 and they say,

00:03:50.620 you know what we need?

00:03:51.760 We need a older white guy

00:03:54.100 who wears cowboy boots,

00:03:56.280 and Carhartt,

00:03:57.560 and knows how to go out

00:03:59.140 and walk around with a gun,

00:04:00.560 and he used to coach high school football,

00:04:02.560 and you put all this together,

00:04:04.980 and it's like they're trying

00:04:06.440 to create an AI avatar

00:04:08.760 of what they think

00:04:10.160 is going to be

00:04:11.280 a man who connects

00:04:13.020 with other men.

00:04:14.400 The problem is

00:04:15.640 what they missed is

00:04:17.380 authenticity matters

00:04:19.680 more than anything.

00:04:21.300 Look, there are nerds out there

00:04:23.580 who are not the foundation

00:04:25.780 of, I think,

00:04:28.100 typically masculine,

00:04:29.240 bigger, stronger, faster.

00:04:32.860 Men don't aspire necessarily

00:04:34.460 to be like them.

00:04:35.820 That can be really,

00:04:36.640 really popular, right?

00:04:37.880 I mean,

00:04:38.500 I would say,

00:04:39.960 no offense to him,

00:04:41.060 Ron DeSantis

00:04:41.620 is a little bit of a nerd,

00:04:42.820 right?

00:04:43.640 And I don't mean that

00:04:45.080 in a negative way.

00:04:46.200 Meatball, as they called him?

00:04:47.320 What was with the meatball?

00:04:48.660 Was that some kind of weird

00:04:49.780 underhanded or backhanded

00:04:51.660 like Italian-American thing?

00:04:53.560 Like, why are they

00:04:54.200 hitting him on meatball?

00:04:55.180 That never made sense to me.

00:04:56.280 I met one of Ron DeSantis'

00:04:58.640 fraternity buddies

00:04:59.580 over break

00:05:02.900 during,

00:05:03.920 and we were talking

00:05:04.700 and he said,

00:05:05.880 you know,

00:05:06.360 he loves Ron DeSantis

00:05:07.460 with every fiber in his being.

00:05:08.700 He said,

00:05:09.340 the guy is the best

00:05:11.120 at just doing jobs.

00:05:12.260 Say,

00:05:12.480 you need a guy

00:05:13.280 who's just going to build you

00:05:14.420 a shelf in the frat house.

00:05:16.300 Ron DeSantis will build

00:05:17.520 a shelf in the frat house

00:05:18.660 that will be there

00:05:19.400 for generations.

00:05:20.660 He's like,

00:05:21.020 if you want a guy

00:05:21.780 that's going to go out

00:05:22.640 and pound a bunch of beers

00:05:23.840 and try to pick up girls,

00:05:24.900 not Ron DeSantis' thing.

00:05:27.080 And so he's like,

00:05:28.000 you know,

00:05:28.320 going on the campaign trail,

00:05:30.780 which is in many ways

00:05:31.860 kind of a seductive thing,

00:05:33.400 right?

00:05:33.600 You've got to seduce voters,

00:05:34.760 convince them

00:05:35.140 that you're right.

00:05:35.740 It's a popularity contest.

00:05:36.280 Yes.

00:05:36.680 It's not necessarily his thing.

00:05:38.700 But every guy out there

00:05:40.400 listening to us right now,

00:05:41.700 you're saying to yourself,

00:05:42.800 you know what?

00:05:43.260 Ron DeSantis,

00:05:43.820 I wish he could be governor

00:05:44.580 of Florida

00:05:45.440 for the next 20 years.

00:05:46.500 He's done maybe

00:05:47.020 the greatest job

00:05:47.740 as a governor

00:05:48.260 that Florida has ever seen.

00:05:50.480 And so I guess

00:05:53.940 what I'm getting at is

00:05:54.820 Democrats don't understand

00:05:57.600 men to such an extent

00:05:58.860 that they don't understand

00:06:00.080 the wide range

00:06:01.100 of masculinity

00:06:01.920 that I think Republicans

00:06:04.820 can end up supporting.

00:06:06.740 And so they toss out

00:06:07.620 this fundamentally

00:06:08.360 inauthentic guy

00:06:09.480 in Tim Walls

00:06:10.440 and he,

00:06:12.160 instead of actually

00:06:13.280 convincing men

00:06:14.220 that they should be

00:06:14.860 voting for Kamala

00:06:16.400 and Walls,

00:06:17.080 I think he actually

00:06:17.840 cost her votes.

00:06:19.320 I think it would have

00:06:20.200 actually been better

00:06:21.000 for Kamala Buck

00:06:22.540 if she had gone

00:06:24.000 and just said,

00:06:24.880 hey, you know what?

00:06:25.560 Gretchen Whitmer

00:06:26.280 is my pick.

00:06:27.280 Yeah, you got a double

00:06:28.160 chick ticket

00:06:28.820 and it might have hurt her,

00:06:30.400 but I think she probably

00:06:31.220 would have won Michigan.

00:06:32.740 I don't think she would have

00:06:33.600 called it a double chick ticket,

00:06:35.100 but yeah,

00:06:35.360 I hear what you're saying.

00:06:36.400 I mean, a double dude ticket,

00:06:37.840 double chick ticket,

00:06:38.700 I think she would have

00:06:39.400 been better off.

00:06:40.380 I don't like Gretchen Whitmer,

00:06:41.540 but I think Gretchen Whitmer

00:06:43.120 is more authentic

00:06:44.380 as a governor

00:06:45.680 than Tim Walls was.

00:06:47.480 And I think men

00:06:48.300 might respect Gretchen Whitmer

00:06:49.760 even more than they did

00:06:50.760 Tim Walls

00:06:51.340 because he's so fake.

00:06:52.300 And so,

00:06:52.980 we start off this day

00:06:54.380 with Tim Walls'

00:06:55.440 political career

00:06:56.160 being over,

00:06:56.960 which I think is kind of

00:06:57.840 a remarkable story.

00:06:59.140 Let's be honest here.

00:07:00.760 Good chance that

00:07:01.940 if you're wondering

00:07:02.960 who could hang

00:07:04.800 the picture frame

00:07:05.820 and get it done

00:07:07.320 with the tool belt

00:07:08.480 and all the things,

00:07:10.000 I think Gretchen Whitmer

00:07:10.820 might beat out Tim Walls.

00:07:12.140 If you're looking

00:07:12.920 for someone

00:07:13.340 to choreograph

00:07:14.220 your next

00:07:15.800 production of Chicago,

00:07:19.280 I would say

00:07:20.320 Tim Walls is your guy.

00:07:22.760 Gretchen Whitmer

00:07:23.520 might be better

00:07:24.280 at home repair

00:07:25.080 than either you or I.

00:07:27.380 She definitely is.

00:07:28.720 I take no...

00:07:30.320 If my in-laws

00:07:31.200 are listening,

00:07:31.840 every time my father-in-law

00:07:33.280 shows up here to visit,

00:07:34.760 it's like a trade.

00:07:35.780 He gets to see

00:07:36.420 his grandchild

00:07:37.040 and his daughter,

00:07:37.940 and I get to present him

00:07:38.980 with a list of things

00:07:39.960 in the house

00:07:40.340 that are broken

00:07:40.880 that I don't know

00:07:41.360 how to fix.

00:07:41.940 It's great.

00:07:42.460 It works out.

00:07:42.780 Laura is the same way.

00:07:44.480 My father-in-law

00:07:45.300 can fix everything.

00:07:46.440 He's an engineer,

00:07:47.580 and he just shows up.

00:07:50.720 And by the way,

00:07:51.140 he's about to be 80.

00:07:52.120 Happy early 80th birthday

00:07:53.480 to my father-in-law,

00:07:54.820 and he's still

00:07:55.760 infinitely better

00:07:56.800 at fixing anything

00:07:57.600 in the house.

00:07:58.400 So, look,

00:07:59.560 I'm not claiming that...

00:08:01.360 At least you drive

00:08:02.420 way too fast

00:08:03.120 like a maniac

00:08:03.760 and are ready

00:08:04.360 for the F1 circuit.

00:08:05.620 I drive slow.

00:08:06.520 This is why I have

00:08:07.320 to go in my free time

00:08:08.360 and shoot lots of guns

00:08:09.720 and do tactical training

00:08:10.640 on the weekends

00:08:11.300 to make up

00:08:12.040 for my inability

00:08:12.680 to change a light bulb

00:08:13.780 and driving

00:08:14.420 like a little old lady.

00:08:15.960 Yeah, you know,

00:08:16.660 you're driving

00:08:17.380 like Miss Daisy

00:08:18.660 is definitely...

00:08:21.380 I was doing all this.

00:08:23.300 I actually thought

00:08:23.780 about this.

00:08:24.380 He should just say

00:08:25.780 thank you, Buck,

00:08:26.520 for keeping me safe,

00:08:27.600 but instead,

00:08:28.300 I get all this.

00:08:29.460 You know,

00:08:29.900 when they were talking

00:08:30.660 about the CIA agents

00:08:32.440 who were in Venezuela.

00:08:36.420 I always get that wrong.

00:08:38.540 But the CIA officers

00:08:41.340 who are in Venezuela,

00:08:42.980 I was thinking to myself,

00:08:44.700 you know,

00:08:44.920 this could have been

00:08:45.360 a job for Buck,

00:08:46.560 but hopefully

00:08:47.360 they were never chased

00:08:49.040 because if they were,

00:08:50.680 he would have gotten caught

00:08:51.560 and captured

00:08:52.140 just like that

00:08:53.300 because the guy,

00:08:54.120 he has no evasive

00:08:55.340 driving skills.

00:08:56.580 He would be obeying

00:08:57.920 whatever the speed limits are.

00:08:59.860 And as a result,

00:09:01.640 we might not have gotten Maduro

00:09:02.760 just because you don't

00:09:03.720 drive fast enough.

00:09:04.520 It's called going low profile,

00:09:06.180 low viz.

00:09:06.940 You obey the local traffic ordinances

00:09:09.480 so you don't arouse suspicion, Clay.

00:09:12.100 That's how highly trained I am.

00:09:14.080 They would think

00:09:14.600 that I'm a retiree

00:09:15.640 on vacation there.

00:09:16.900 They would never suspect.

00:09:19.100 How many Americans

00:09:20.660 are there in Venezuela,

00:09:21.860 by the way?

00:09:22.860 Do we know, like,

00:09:23.920 actually in Venezuela right now?

00:09:25.660 That's a good question.

00:09:26.280 I mean,

00:09:26.680 the number is a lot less now than,

00:09:29.160 I mean,

00:09:29.500 obviously right now particularly,

00:09:30.980 but it's been going down

00:09:32.300 and down for a long time.

00:09:33.360 I mean,

00:09:33.840 the State Department

00:09:34.520 has had a do not travel

00:09:36.060 order up for Venezuela

00:09:38.140 for quite some time,

00:09:39.360 I think.

00:09:39.800 So it hasn't been a

00:09:40.880 probably don't go,

00:09:42.020 it's a don't go.

00:09:43.460 This is my,

00:09:44.720 my boys are not going to shock you

00:09:46.800 that as soon as we raided Venezuela,

00:09:49.660 my boys are super sports fans.

00:09:52.420 One of my sons said,

00:09:53.840 is Ronald Acuna okay?

00:09:56.480 Ronald Acuna

00:09:57.400 is the star Venezuelan baseball player

00:10:00.080 of the Atlanta Braves.

00:10:01.380 And a lot of,

00:10:02.200 I mean,

00:10:02.400 this is true,

00:10:03.000 a lot of baseball players

00:10:04.260 in the off season

00:10:05.140 go to Venezuela.

00:10:06.180 Weather's perfect.

00:10:07.020 Baseball is hugely popular there.

00:10:08.960 And so there are a lot of

00:10:10.020 Major League Baseball players

00:10:11.140 in Venezuela,

00:10:11.800 I think right now,

00:10:13.020 before spring training

00:10:14.760 starts next month.

00:10:15.820 No,

00:10:16.140 maybe Venezuela,

00:10:18.180 we decide,

00:10:19.140 we get,

00:10:19.500 look,

00:10:19.740 you can't make them citizens.

00:10:21.020 They're not Americans.

00:10:21.840 They're,

00:10:22.240 they're,

00:10:22.720 they're Latinos.

00:10:23.940 They're South Americans

00:10:25.060 and Latinos.

00:10:26.580 But,

00:10:27.060 you know,

00:10:27.200 maybe we,

00:10:27.820 maybe Czar Miller,

00:10:29.880 I don't know if he's officially

00:10:30.800 being called that yet,

00:10:31.700 but Stephen Miller in the White House,

00:10:32.860 if in fact he gets

00:10:34.020 the Venezuela portfolio,

00:10:35.780 we move toward a Venezuela

00:10:37.260 becomes like Guam,

00:10:38.720 but a lot bigger

00:10:39.420 and with a lot more oil.

00:10:40.480 Like you're not,

00:10:40.860 you're not voting in our,

00:10:43.920 you're exactly like the U.S.

00:10:45.560 Virgin Islands,

00:10:46.340 except where I'm a lawyer

00:10:47.420 and with a lot of oil.

00:10:48.200 I know all about territorial law.

00:10:49.520 By the way,

00:10:49.940 cleaning up a couple of things,

00:10:51.180 we are big fans of,

00:10:53.700 let's make sure

00:10:55.600 that I get this right.

00:10:56.340 We are big fans of Brad Little,

00:10:58.560 current governor of Idaho.

00:11:00.940 No one,

00:11:01.480 no one bigger fans than us.

00:11:02.980 Let's make sure you get it right

00:11:04.060 because you've been thinking

00:11:04.620 about Brad a lot lately.

00:11:05.740 Yes.

00:11:06.060 I have.

00:11:06.620 I've been,

00:11:06.880 I've been thinking we need

00:11:07.780 to talk about what the job

00:11:08.740 Brad's doing in Idaho.

00:11:10.080 You know what the truth is though?

00:11:11.220 Can I just,

00:11:11.540 really quick,

00:11:12.040 Clay,

00:11:12.200 the reason we don't talk

00:11:13.360 about Brad a lot here

00:11:14.300 is because Idaho's a great state

00:11:15.520 and he's obviously doing

00:11:16.120 a great job.

00:11:16.900 So because he's not,

00:11:18.380 the focus of commentary

00:11:20.020 is a good thing.

00:11:21.620 Um,

00:11:22.620 Grok,

00:11:23.220 I don't know how much

00:11:23.880 you use Grok now.

00:11:25.160 All the time.

00:11:26.180 Replace Google for me.

00:11:27.320 It's amazing.

00:11:27.820 I love it.

00:11:28.800 Uh,

00:11:29.360 Grok says that there,

00:11:30.780 and if you have not,

00:11:31.740 this is worth getting

00:11:32.680 on Twitter X by itself.

00:11:35.060 I am stunned

00:11:36.460 by how effective it is

00:11:39.260 at just giving me basic facts.

00:11:41.200 Like yesterday,

00:11:41.920 I was looking up,

00:11:42.860 we'll talk about it

00:11:43.380 a little bit later,

00:11:43.940 but I was looking up

00:11:45.360 the number of murders

00:11:46.340 in Washington,

00:11:47.220 D.C.

00:11:47.620 You can go on Twitter,

00:11:49.380 hit the Grok symbol,

00:11:50.560 and you can just say,

00:11:51.880 Hey,

00:11:52.600 tell me how many murders

00:11:53.800 there have been graphically

00:11:55.300 from 1970 in Washington,

00:11:58.080 D.C.

00:11:58.440 to the present day.

00:11:59.660 Wait like 45 seconds,

00:12:01.560 a minute,

00:12:02.160 boom,

00:12:02.560 all of the data

00:12:03.380 right there in front of you.

00:12:05.000 Uh,

00:12:05.400 Grok says there are

00:12:06.320 10,000 Americans roughly

00:12:08.160 that are living in Venezuela

00:12:09.800 right now.

00:12:11.060 Um,

00:12:11.780 uh,

00:12:12.200 according to recent estimates.

00:12:13.900 small number

00:12:16.080 when you consider

00:12:16.820 the size of Venezuela

00:12:17.880 and,

00:12:18.760 and I wonder what

00:12:19.380 it would be comparatively

00:12:20.200 say to,

00:12:20.700 to Columbia next door.

00:12:22.240 Um,

00:12:22.640 so we can grok that one

00:12:23.640 by the way,

00:12:24.480 Clay,

00:12:24.880 in retrospect now,

00:12:25.920 given that maybe

00:12:26.600 Stephen Miller

00:12:27.220 can bring about

00:12:29.200 the,

00:12:29.640 uh,

00:12:30.140 territorial dispensation

00:12:31.880 of Venezuela for us,

00:12:33.520 I'm not saying

00:12:34.040 he's going to do that.

00:12:34.680 It's just a fun idea.

00:12:36.080 Um,

00:12:36.820 we should talk about

00:12:37.580 Greenland,

00:12:38.280 which I don't think

00:12:40.040 is entirely a joke.

00:12:41.720 I still think that

00:12:43.520 there is an interesting

00:12:44.360 conversation that is

00:12:45.780 being had about

00:12:46.820 people say it belongs

00:12:48.160 to Denmark.

00:12:49.280 Okay.

00:12:50.400 Why?

00:12:51.740 The Greenlanders

00:12:52.960 are not Danes.

00:12:54.160 What is,

00:12:54.940 what is Denmark done

00:12:55.840 for Greenland?

00:12:56.980 Does Greenland get a say

00:12:57.980 in this?

00:12:58.580 It's a big piece of territory.

00:12:59.980 Um,

00:13:00.460 and also just because

00:13:01.300 you're a Civil War nerd,

00:13:02.520 self-described.

00:13:04.020 People forget this.

00:13:05.320 Ulysses Grant

00:13:06.280 had a great plan.

00:13:08.640 He wanted to make

00:13:09.880 the Dominican Republic.

00:13:10.780 You're talking about

00:13:11.360 baseball.

00:13:11.720 before he wanted to

00:13:13.000 make the Dominican

00:13:13.660 Republic a U.S.

00:13:15.400 territory and got

00:13:16.460 shot down by the Senate.

00:13:18.440 I,

00:13:19.000 first of all,

00:13:20.100 there are a lot

00:13:21.400 of decisions we made

00:13:22.780 surrounding territories

00:13:24.260 that I think were wrong.

00:13:25.660 And I think in like

00:13:27.260 the first year of this

00:13:28.180 show,

00:13:28.540 four or five years ago,

00:13:29.560 I said,

00:13:30.440 we should go into Cuba

00:13:31.580 and we should end

00:13:32.160 this absurdity.

00:13:33.340 Um,

00:13:33.920 I'm going to re,

00:13:34.580 I'm going to re,

00:13:35.340 uh,

00:13:35.700 bring that back up

00:13:36.820 double down,

00:13:38.060 triple down,

00:13:38.580 quadruple down,

00:13:39.200 whatever is necessary.

00:13:40.280 We should,

00:13:41.280 right now in this year

00:13:42.960 of 2026 and the fact

00:13:45.660 that Cuba is a

00:13:46.560 communist country and

00:13:48.020 return basic freedoms

00:13:49.520 to Cuba.

00:13:50.120 To your point on

00:13:51.420 territories,

00:13:52.060 I would even suggest

00:13:53.380 that we should look at

00:13:54.660 what we've done with

00:13:55.480 Puerto Rico and with

00:13:56.960 the U.S.

00:13:57.440 Virgin Islands,

00:13:58.260 Guam,

00:13:58.660 as you mentioned,

00:13:59.280 and consider making

00:14:00.860 Cuba a territory of

00:14:03.040 the United States,

00:14:04.220 not a full,

00:14:05.220 uh,

00:14:05.720 part of the,

00:14:06.780 uh,

00:14:07.060 of the citizenry.

00:14:08.020 You're not voting.

00:14:08.620 You don't have the

00:14:08.920 Senate.

00:14:09.300 You don't have a

00:14:10.180 congressional representation,

00:14:11.160 but just a protectorate

00:14:13.200 of sorts.

00:14:14.020 Uh,

00:14:14.580 to me,

00:14:14.860 that is a,

00:14:15.600 uh,

00:14:16.000 something that should

00:14:16.720 significantly be looked

00:14:17.720 at.

00:14:18.060 Uh,

00:14:18.540 think about the deal

00:14:19.680 that we've gotten in

00:14:20.340 other places.

00:14:20.840 I mean,

00:14:21.060 Guam is one example.

00:14:22.720 They get U.S.

00:14:25.060 military protection.

00:14:26.380 We put bases there.

00:14:28.100 They don't ever have to

00:14:28.960 worry about foreign

00:14:29.860 relations,

00:14:30.540 foreign invasion,

00:14:31.280 anything like that.

00:14:32.660 They get infrastructure.

00:14:34.200 They get rule of law.

00:14:35.400 They get access to,

00:14:36.640 you know,

00:14:36.900 American markets,

00:14:37.960 et cetera.

00:14:39.140 It's not a bad deal.

00:14:40.100 We,

00:14:40.240 we already have the huge

00:14:41.740 base at Guantanamo,

00:14:43.240 and thanks to Colonel

00:14:44.200 Jessup,

00:14:44.720 we still have it.

00:14:45.820 Um,

00:14:46.260 and,

00:14:46.740 we needed him on that

00:14:47.420 wall.

00:14:47.840 He was actually the unsung

00:14:48.880 hero of that movie in so

00:14:50.080 many ways.

00:14:50.560 That's a conversation for

00:14:51.540 another time.

00:14:52.400 All right.

00:14:53.020 This may be,

00:14:53.760 uh,

00:14:54.300 the time.

00:14:55.160 This may be the year

00:14:55.900 that you join me in

00:14:56.640 something very important.

00:14:58.200 Gold and owning some

00:15:00.000 gold.

00:15:00.560 Every indication is that

00:15:01.600 gold is going to continue

00:15:02.340 to grow this year,

00:15:03.220 and this is because of

00:15:04.760 global instability.

00:15:05.580 We're just talking about

00:15:06.480 some of that stuff,

00:15:07.240 but also all the money

00:15:08.340 printing that's happening.

00:15:09.140 It's not going to stop.

00:15:10.380 And,

00:15:10.820 and owning gold is part

00:15:11.880 of your savings,

00:15:12.440 uh,

00:15:12.940 plan.

00:15:13.800 Your 401k or IRA,

00:15:15.360 it just makes sense.

00:15:16.500 And Birch Gold Group is

00:15:17.580 who I trust.

00:15:19.220 You're going to like

00:15:19.880 working with these people.

00:15:21.680 them.

00:16:33.980 podcast on iHeartRadio

00:16:35.520 or wherever you listen

00:16:36.480 to your podcasts.

00:16:39.300 Welcome in, everybody,

00:16:40.540 to the second hour

00:16:41.800 of the Clay Travis

00:16:43.100 and Buck Sexton show.

00:16:46.080 You know, Clay,

00:16:46.420 sometimes it's funny

00:16:47.320 because I have in my head

00:16:48.520 a story that I think

00:16:50.240 we're going to end up

00:16:50.860 talking about

00:16:51.600 and that it changes rapidly

00:16:54.500 because of events.

00:16:56.340 And one of those unfolded

00:16:57.860 in the last 24 hours

00:16:59.380 where there was a report

00:17:03.800 out there,

00:17:05.160 I guess you could say

00:17:05.780 an allegation,

00:17:07.100 that a Hilton branded hotel

00:17:11.400 was canceling the reservations

00:17:13.960 of anybody who works

00:17:15.720 for Immigration and Customs

00:17:16.760 enforcement.

00:17:17.680 Just like everyday folks,

00:17:20.480 government employees,

00:17:21.400 when they travel to places,

00:17:22.860 they don't have homes everywhere,

00:17:24.360 they stay in hotels.

00:17:26.100 And there was this report

00:17:27.320 out about a Hilton hotel

00:17:29.100 that had turned,

00:17:32.920 not just refused to take a reservation,

00:17:34.540 but canceled active reservations

00:17:36.620 of some ICE contingent.

00:17:41.040 And it came from,

00:17:41.780 and it came from,

00:17:41.900 I believe,

00:17:42.240 officially,

00:17:42.820 or initially,

00:17:44.660 the official DHS account

00:17:46.580 saying that this happened.

00:17:49.080 So they go right to the people

00:17:50.560 with this stuff now.

00:17:51.460 I mean,

00:17:51.580 this Trump administration

00:17:52.380 doesn't hold back.

00:17:53.560 It was amazing

00:17:55.180 to see how quickly,

00:17:59.180 to Hilton's credit,

00:18:00.300 now I think they understand

00:18:01.460 what's at stake here,

00:18:02.980 but Hilton hotels,

00:18:04.460 man,

00:18:04.820 they were,

00:18:05.780 the comms,

00:18:06.580 they were on it.

00:18:08.180 They,

00:18:08.620 right away,

00:18:09.520 publicly,

00:18:10.000 this is absolutely not our policy.

00:18:11.900 We would never do such a thing.

00:18:13.640 We are open as a hotel

00:18:15.820 for all who wish to stay.

00:18:17.740 And,

00:18:17.860 you know,

00:18:18.280 they went,

00:18:20.020 and they said,

00:18:20.580 we are looking into this right away.

00:18:22.660 And then they said,

00:18:23.740 it's a franchisee.

00:18:25.620 People forget this,

00:18:26.600 that there's often,

00:18:28.040 you know,

00:18:28.980 these big brands,

00:18:29.900 you have to play by certain rules,

00:18:31.400 but you're a franchisee,

00:18:32.420 so you independently operate it

00:18:34.280 under the overall corporate umbrella.

00:18:36.080 So there's kind of limited,

00:18:38.140 there's not really direct oversight,

00:18:39.760 there's some oversight,

00:18:41.180 but it was a franchisee hotel.

00:18:44.320 And Hilton,

00:18:45.360 you see,

00:18:45.700 the latest on it,

00:18:46.520 Clay,

00:18:46.720 was that Hilton hotels came out,

00:18:49.000 I think it was either last night

00:18:50.220 or early this morning,

00:18:51.540 to just say,

00:18:52.520 you know what,

00:18:53.100 this franchisee told us they fixed it,

00:18:55.040 they didn't fix it,

00:18:55.760 they're no longer a Hilton hotel.

00:18:58.180 This was in less than 24 hours.

00:18:59.940 I just think that this is indicative

00:19:02.540 of how much the vibe,

00:19:06.280 as the kids say,

00:19:07.840 has changed now in corporate America,

00:19:10.260 where the second that anyone starts to get a whiff

00:19:13.800 that you think that half the country

00:19:16.280 should go stuff it,

00:19:18.200 and that they're,

00:19:18.940 you know,

00:19:19.160 you don't want their businesses,

00:19:20.600 if they're going to vote for Trump or whatever,

00:19:22.600 oh,

00:19:23.540 the days of half the country sitting back quietly

00:19:26.300 and letting that stuff fly

00:19:27.800 are long since gone.

00:19:30.420 Well,

00:19:30.720 I think this is the legacy of Bud Light,

00:19:33.540 which is why I think the Bud Light story

00:19:36.560 is going to linger for years and years to come.

00:19:40.560 Look,

00:19:41.420 Michael Jordan had it right,

00:19:42.800 Buck.

00:19:43.380 Republicans buy sneakers too.

00:19:45.580 Back in the day,

00:19:46.980 they tried to get Michael Jordan

00:19:48.400 to be super political,

00:19:50.100 and he said,

00:19:50.980 no,

00:19:51.320 I'm not going to do that,

00:19:52.840 and he gave the quote,

00:19:54.300 Republicans buy sneakers too.

00:19:55.720 That means that maybe he had Democratic leanings,

00:19:58.360 but he wasn't going to get involved,

00:20:00.960 and as a result,

00:20:02.980 do you know what the legacy of Michael Jordan is?

00:20:05.060 He's the most popular athlete in the entire country.

00:20:10.060 Still,

00:20:11.020 he sells more Jordans,

00:20:12.940 his sneakers,

00:20:14.200 than any current NBA player does combined.

00:20:18.580 The Air Jordan brand is more valuable

00:20:20.560 than every current NBA player combined.

00:20:23.600 Tiger Woods took the same approach.

00:20:25.900 Tiger Woods basically said,

00:20:27.780 look,

00:20:27.920 I want to be the greatest golfer

00:20:29.460 that has ever lived.

00:20:30.940 Now,

00:20:31.180 he didn't beat Jack Nicklaus in overall majors.

00:20:33.740 I think he just turned 50.

00:20:35.200 Happy birthday,

00:20:35.920 Tiger Woods,

00:20:36.660 if you're listening.

00:20:38.120 And Tiger made the decision

00:20:40.500 that he wanted to have the same level of appeal.

00:20:44.860 And I just,

00:20:45.620 it seems very basic to me.

00:20:47.860 If I ran a company

00:20:49.240 that was desirous

00:20:51.140 of trying to appeal to everyone,

00:20:54.820 which most companies are,

00:20:57.040 why would you alienate half the country?

00:20:59.040 It never made any sense to me.

00:21:01.180 It always seemed like

00:21:02.380 a really short-sighted plan.

00:21:04.780 I just thought it was so interesting

00:21:06.220 because,

00:21:07.080 and I pulled this up,

00:21:08.300 it was from the official

00:21:09.280 Homeland Security account,

00:21:11.200 initially.

00:21:12.420 And so,

00:21:13.720 Homeland Security account

00:21:14.720 called this out.

00:21:15.720 Like,

00:21:15.860 the comms for DHS said,

00:21:17.880 we're getting reports about this.

00:21:20.600 And they called it

00:21:22.380 No Room at the Inn,

00:21:23.500 all in caps.

00:21:25.380 And Hilton,

00:21:26.540 you know,

00:21:26.840 there was a time,

00:21:27.660 there was a time when I think

00:21:29.180 at best what you could hope for

00:21:31.140 would have been the overall,

00:21:32.960 now Hilton is a true global brand

00:21:35.060 and,

00:21:35.340 you know,

00:21:35.540 it's been around a long time

00:21:36.780 and so people know it.

00:21:37.860 There was a time when I think

00:21:38.920 the best you could have hoped for

00:21:40.120 would have been,

00:21:42.000 we have,

00:21:42.760 you know,

00:21:43.000 read this report

00:21:44.080 and we're going to look into it

00:21:46.000 and they would sort of

00:21:47.320 just hope that it goes away

00:21:48.900 and that's it.

00:21:51.140 Maybe they would have even

00:21:52.080 gone in the other direction

00:21:53.040 and said,

00:21:53.580 you know,

00:21:53.780 well,

00:21:53.960 we believe that like,

00:21:54.980 you know,

00:21:55.260 in borders,

00:21:56.280 that borders shouldn't exist

00:21:57.580 and all people are people

00:21:58.620 and no one is illegal.

00:21:59.740 There was a time when

00:22:00.480 some corporations

00:22:01.380 in recent memory

00:22:02.420 would have done that,

00:22:03.080 I think,

00:22:03.420 major corporations.

00:22:04.200 I think like,

00:22:05.000 you know,

00:22:05.300 Disney might have done that

00:22:06.400 depending on the day.

00:22:08.540 But in this case,

00:22:09.720 Hilton came out

00:22:10.780 with,

00:22:12.320 right away,

00:22:14.080 like,

00:22:14.400 all that they could bring

00:22:16.100 to the public conversation

00:22:17.320 about this

00:22:17.820 to squelch this story

00:22:19.720 and set it straight

00:22:21.160 and say,

00:22:22.120 we absolutely do not do this,

00:22:23.780 would not do this

00:22:24.600 and we will hold those

00:22:26.220 who do it

00:22:26.720 under our banner accountable.

00:22:28.860 That is,

00:22:29.840 you know,

00:22:30.120 we've started to get

00:22:30.780 a little used to this,

00:22:31.620 guys.

00:22:31.820 It's only been a year.

00:22:32.760 That is a massive,

00:22:34.580 massive corporate

00:22:36.040 sea change

00:22:37.680 in attitude

00:22:38.700 and behavior

00:22:39.520 from a big brand

00:22:40.620 like that

00:22:41.380 when,

00:22:42.400 clearly this is because

00:22:43.120 it's Trump's ICE,

00:22:44.040 Trump's policies,

00:22:45.140 that's the whole thing.

00:22:46.880 Under the Biden administration,

00:22:48.780 you know,

00:22:49.240 people even still thought

00:22:50.220 they could get away

00:22:50.740 with all kinds of nonsense

00:22:51.660 like this.

00:22:52.800 I think it's also reflective

00:22:54.260 of an unfortunate reality

00:22:56.620 which is most business leaders

00:22:58.700 are cowards

00:22:59.580 and they go whatever

00:23:01.200 the direction is

00:23:02.600 that the wind is blowing

00:23:03.840 and for a long time

00:23:05.760 the way that they would

00:23:06.800 lose their jobs

00:23:07.960 was by not seeming

00:23:09.900 left-wing enough.

00:23:11.300 So,

00:23:11.600 if you remember in 2020

00:23:13.160 in the summer,

00:23:15.060 remember when

00:23:15.700 every brand

00:23:16.620 that you ever bought

00:23:17.580 anything from

00:23:18.340 suddenly had to email you

00:23:19.820 to let you know

00:23:20.460 what they thought

00:23:20.980 about Black Lives Matter

00:23:21.960 and you were sitting around

00:23:23.620 and you were just like,

00:23:24.620 hey,

00:23:24.800 I just want to buy

00:23:25.980 some kitty litter.

00:23:28.540 I don't need to know

00:23:29.620 what my pet company,

00:23:31.840 pet food company,

00:23:32.960 thinks about

00:23:33.860 geopolitics

00:23:35.280 and yet everybody

00:23:36.640 felt compelled

00:23:37.560 to send you

00:23:38.140 those messages.

00:23:38.780 a lot of those

00:23:39.820 same CEOs

00:23:40.520 knew it was BS

00:23:41.600 then,

00:23:42.080 but they were concerned

00:23:43.380 about protecting

00:23:44.200 their own jobs.

00:23:45.780 Now,

00:23:46.360 because Trump won,

00:23:47.760 they can go back

00:23:48.700 and try to address

00:23:50.300 what they knew

00:23:51.060 to be ridiculous

00:23:52.160 for a long time

00:23:53.420 and I think

00:23:54.500 the math on it

00:23:55.180 is pretty clear,

00:23:56.400 right?

00:23:56.780 I mean,

00:23:57.180 if you're Hilton

00:23:58.340 or Hyatt,

00:23:59.580 I always get those

00:24:00.280 two mixed up.

00:24:01.160 I don't know which,

00:24:02.020 I can't tell the difference,

00:24:03.260 probably not helping me

00:24:04.080 for us getting

00:24:05.100 a big hotel chain

00:24:07.480 sponsorship here,

00:24:08.860 but you should want

00:24:10.640 everybody under the sun.

00:24:12.240 Democrats,

00:24:12.780 Republicans,

00:24:13.360 independents,

00:24:13.900 people who don't vote,

00:24:15.240 everybody should be

00:24:16.140 your target market

00:24:17.060 and I give them credit.

00:24:18.880 I think you're right.

00:24:19.580 They looked into this,

00:24:20.580 they got back to it fast

00:24:21.640 and they said,

00:24:22.320 we're not going to allow

00:24:23.360 this to occur.

00:24:24.440 This guy is no longer

00:24:25.460 one of our franchisees.

00:24:27.420 The people who decided

00:24:29.800 to send Bud Light

00:24:30.720 a message,

00:24:31.240 to your point,

00:24:32.080 message received

00:24:32.860 by corporate America.

00:24:34.320 Doesn't Bud Light now,

00:24:35.320 who do they have,

00:24:35.780 the MMA

00:24:36.440 and they've gone out

00:24:38.080 or like some

00:24:38.660 right wing,

00:24:39.600 it still hasn't come back

00:24:41.320 because,

00:24:42.800 maybe it's going to take years.

00:24:44.080 No,

00:24:44.220 no,

00:24:44.340 but I just mean

00:24:45.060 the steps that they've taken

00:24:46.060 to rebuild the brand.

00:24:47.280 They spent,

00:24:48.420 God knows how much money

00:24:49.680 on the UFC,

00:24:51.320 they have spent,

00:24:52.420 God knows how much money,

00:24:53.460 I mean,

00:24:53.560 you can't watch

00:24:54.320 a college football

00:24:55.840 or NFL game

00:24:57.040 without Bud Light commercials

00:24:58.640 everywhere.

00:25:00.660 Look,

00:25:01.400 the most toxic thing

00:25:02.480 that you can have

00:25:03.440 if you are a brand

00:25:04.620 that is trying

00:25:08.180 to appeal to men

00:25:09.220 is the idea

00:25:10.280 that you're cool

00:25:11.180 with dudes

00:25:11.800 pretending to be chicks.

00:25:13.380 And everybody just said,

00:25:14.660 yeah,

00:25:14.760 we're not going to do this

00:25:15.520 and stop drinking the beer

00:25:16.380 almost overnight.

00:25:17.400 Well,

00:25:17.660 you can unpack this

00:25:18.420 really quickly,

00:25:18.980 right?

00:25:19.160 Why do the Democrats

00:25:19.800 have such a problem

00:25:20.500 with masculinity?

00:25:21.340 This was the big question

00:25:22.200 going into the last election

00:25:24.580 because the polling,

00:25:25.800 the data all showed

00:25:26.580 that that is an issue

00:25:28.160 for them.

00:25:29.500 If you have a guy,

00:25:30.260 I don't care who it is.

00:25:31.500 You can have

00:25:32.520 a,

00:25:33.520 you know,

00:25:35.100 a jacked,

00:25:36.440 three-tour,

00:25:37.540 super soldier,

00:25:39.180 you know,

00:25:40.480 like,

00:25:41.480 whatever the ultimate

00:25:42.440 in masculinity

00:25:43.040 is in your mind,

00:25:44.520 if you sit there

00:25:45.360 and you have him say

00:25:46.600 in earnestness,

00:25:47.760 not ironically or kidding,

00:25:49.840 I'm a male feminist

00:25:50.820 and I believe

00:25:51.640 that men don't have

00:25:52.480 an advantage

00:25:52.900 over women in sports,

00:25:54.300 you instantly think

00:25:55.440 that this guy

00:25:56.080 is a wuss.

00:25:57.380 Instantly.

00:25:58.360 Yes.

00:25:58.640 There's no way around this.

00:25:59.700 It doesn't matter

00:26:00.220 who you are.

00:26:00.980 You can have

00:26:01.860 the top,

00:26:02.580 you know,

00:26:03.440 NBA or NFL athlete

00:26:05.780 in the world

00:26:06.500 sit down,

00:26:07.080 look you in the face

00:26:07.740 and say that

00:26:08.320 and you're like,

00:26:08.740 oh,

00:26:08.940 so you're just a coward.

00:26:10.140 So you actually

00:26:10.580 don't have balls

00:26:11.420 to borrow from a great book.

00:26:13.420 You don't have balls.

00:26:14.460 I mean,

00:26:14.960 it is

00:26:15.720 and I think it's why

00:26:16.980 it had such cultural resonance

00:26:18.680 in 2024

00:26:19.540 because most people,

00:26:20.920 it's very complicated

00:26:21.860 what the tax code should be.

00:26:23.620 We were talking about off air.

00:26:25.580 It looks like Trump

00:26:26.500 was right about tariffs.

00:26:28.160 There now is a huge study

00:26:29.600 I'm reading in the Wall Street Journal

00:26:31.280 this morning

00:26:31.780 as I'm getting ready

00:26:32.620 saying actually

00:26:33.820 we went back

00:26:34.340 and looked at 100 plus years

00:26:36.200 of data

00:26:36.740 and there is no evidence

00:26:38.220 of a substantial degree

00:26:39.540 that inflation follows tariffs

00:26:41.760 despite the fact

00:26:44.000 that every economist

00:26:45.180 in the country

00:26:45.740 told you,

00:26:46.380 oh my God,

00:26:46.880 if Trump does these tariffs

00:26:48.100 then the inflation

00:26:48.840 is going to go through the roofs

00:26:50.040 and they were wrong

00:26:51.020 and a lot of economists

00:26:52.600 they're looking around

00:26:53.400 saying now,

00:26:54.120 like,

00:26:54.380 how did we all get this

00:26:55.240 so wrong

00:26:55.820 and by the way,

00:26:58.360 a lot of the same economists

00:26:59.280 said we could print

00:27:00.300 as much money as possible.

00:27:01.460 Remember,

00:27:02.000 Buck,

00:27:02.200 it wasn't very long ago,

00:27:03.240 2021,

00:27:04.120 when they suddenly said,

00:27:05.560 hey,

00:27:05.740 modern monetary theory

00:27:07.300 is this new thing

00:27:08.300 and there's no cost

00:27:09.480 associated with just printing

00:27:10.980 way more money

00:27:11.720 and you and I

00:27:13.660 remember coming on

00:27:14.280 saying,

00:27:14.680 you know,

00:27:15.360 I think there's actually

00:27:16.340 pretty good history

00:27:17.900 that when you print

00:27:19.420 too much of your currency

00:27:20.800 that the value collapses

00:27:22.500 and there was this idea

00:27:24.120 out there

00:27:25.000 that Biden bought into

00:27:26.400 that you could basically

00:27:27.800 print as much money

00:27:29.360 and there were going

00:27:30.120 to be no consequences

00:27:31.020 when it came to inflation

00:27:32.120 and then boom,

00:27:33.160 within a year,

00:27:33.820 we're at 9%

00:27:34.760 and we're still trying

00:27:35.760 to deal with the fact

00:27:36.580 of that incompetence.

00:27:37.720 This is where common sense

00:27:39.120 is seemingly less common

00:27:42.160 than we would want it to be.

00:27:44.380 If you can print any money

00:27:45.880 and it doesn't matter

00:27:47.120 and you'll just deal with it

00:27:48.340 and you'll buy whatever you want

00:27:49.760 and get whatever you want with it,

00:27:51.440 we should just set up

00:27:52.320 for every American

00:27:53.140 a bank account

00:27:54.720 and put a million dollars in it.

00:27:55.920 Yes.

00:27:57.260 If that's a problem,

00:27:58.820 why is it a problem?

00:28:00.280 Well,

00:28:00.480 once you establish

00:28:01.180 why that's clearly a problem,

00:28:02.780 you understand why

00:28:03.880 soon-to-be $40 trillion

00:28:05.880 in debt

00:28:06.680 and spending trillions

00:28:07.860 more than we take in every year

00:28:09.120 is also a problem.

00:28:11.720 Right?

00:28:12.520 So it's very straightforward stuff.

00:28:14.340 On the tariffs issue,

00:28:15.660 I will apply the same common sense.

00:28:17.600 This is what we kept saying

00:28:18.440 on the show, Clay.

00:28:19.760 Okay.

00:28:20.760 Somehow,

00:28:21.720 every other country

00:28:22.600 in the world,

00:28:23.780 every other,

00:28:24.800 Canada,

00:28:25.900 the UK,

00:28:26.520 all the other countries

00:28:27.440 in the world,

00:28:28.060 including the ones

00:28:28.620 that are closest to us,

00:28:30.000 culturally,

00:28:30.680 legally,

00:28:31.120 et cetera,

00:28:31.900 have tariffs in place.

00:28:34.440 Why is it that

00:28:35.560 they're so dumb

00:28:36.740 that they just want

00:28:37.640 to do something

00:28:38.140 that doesn't benefit them

00:28:39.300 and raises prices for them

00:28:41.140 for no apparent reason?

00:28:43.340 Now,

00:28:43.620 you can say,

00:28:44.140 oh,

00:28:44.280 no,

00:28:44.480 Buck,

00:28:44.740 we recognize that.

00:28:45.480 No,

00:28:45.580 no.

00:28:46.140 The people who are anti-tariffs

00:28:47.840 suggested there was really

00:28:49.480 no upside to it either,

00:28:50.900 that it was just a bad idea,

00:28:52.980 it was just downside,

00:28:54.580 you don't even really

00:28:55.820 protect effectively

00:28:57.320 because of the global marketplace,

00:28:58.760 your domestic industry.

00:29:00.640 But, Clay,

00:29:01.180 I go back to the common sense man,

00:29:03.180 the normie,

00:29:03.940 if you will,

00:29:04.560 the same normie

00:29:05.160 that's asking,

00:29:05.980 are Democrats just wrong

00:29:06.900 about everything?

00:29:08.360 Narrator voice,

00:29:09.140 yes,

00:29:09.360 they are.

00:29:11.600 Why is everyone else

00:29:12.740 doing this

00:29:13.180 if it's so stupid?

00:29:14.840 Every other country

00:29:15.560 in the world,

00:29:16.100 some like China

00:29:16.820 doing it very aggressively

00:29:17.900 and getting very rich

00:29:19.340 while they do so.

00:29:20.620 Yes.

00:29:21.580 No,

00:29:21.960 I mean,

00:29:22.380 look,

00:29:22.760 this is,

00:29:23.580 now,

00:29:24.140 here's the downside.

00:29:25.840 I do think

00:29:26.680 the Supreme Court

00:29:27.340 might say the president

00:29:28.200 doesn't have authority

00:29:29.020 to implement all of the tariffs

00:29:30.700 that he has implemented.

00:29:32.520 So,

00:29:33.480 like,

00:29:34.520 we can sit here

00:29:35.340 and say Trump was right

00:29:36.420 about the tariff front again

00:29:37.760 and he's bringing in,

00:29:38.620 I think he's on pace now

00:29:39.580 to bring in $600 billion

00:29:41.980 in tariff revenue

00:29:44.020 in 2026

00:29:45.320 if the tariffs

00:29:46.940 were allowed to continue

00:29:48.380 and he was going to put

00:29:49.900 that money towards

00:29:50.740 helping to pay down

00:29:51.600 the debt.

00:29:52.420 And by the way,

00:29:53.360 4.3% growth

00:29:55.240 at the end

00:29:56.120 of the third quarter

00:29:57.880 as we're headed

00:29:58.500 into the end of 2024,

00:30:00.600 2025,

00:30:01.740 sorry,

00:30:02.400 there is the possibility

00:30:03.520 out there

00:30:04.220 that

00:30:05.140 with,

00:30:06.220 if growth

00:30:07.180 is around 5%,

00:30:08.860 that,

00:30:09.960 I don't know,

00:30:10.540 I've heard anybody else

00:30:11.220 say this,

00:30:12.140 that the budget

00:30:12.740 could start

00:30:13.480 with,

00:30:14.140 in conjunction

00:30:14.700 with the tariffs,

00:30:16.180 that the budget

00:30:16.800 could start

00:30:17.580 to come close

00:30:18.500 to being balanced

00:30:19.500 in 2026

00:30:20.540 and 2027.

00:30:22.160 Now,

00:30:22.760 that's a very positive,

00:30:24.120 that's if the economy

00:30:25.020 continues to expand,

00:30:26.260 if it continues to grow,

00:30:27.180 and the Supreme Court

00:30:28.100 says the tariffs

00:30:28.880 are allowed

00:30:29.500 to be upheld.

00:30:31.220 I'm not convinced

00:30:32.080 that they are,

00:30:32.780 and so

00:30:34.260 that could turn

00:30:34.980 into a huge mess

00:30:35.860 because how do you

00:30:36.420 give back

00:30:37.100 all the money

00:30:37.880 that was

00:30:39.340 taken in

00:30:40.740 through the tariffs?

00:30:41.600 I mean,

00:30:41.760 I think that's

00:30:42.160 one of the challenges

00:30:42.900 the Supreme Court

00:30:43.620 is grappling with

00:30:44.820 as they try

00:30:45.280 to break down

00:30:45.820 that going forward.

00:30:46.600 In the meantime,

00:30:47.760 tap to pay,

00:30:48.520 popular way to pay

00:30:49.380 with a credit card.

00:30:50.240 It's stores,

00:30:50.860 cyber scammers

00:30:51.940 out there.

00:30:52.900 They're using tech

00:30:53.840 that allows them

00:30:54.560 to read credit card data.

00:30:56.000 It's a tactic

00:30:56.480 known as ghost tapping.

00:30:58.280 They can steal

00:30:58.940 your financial info

00:31:00.100 without your knowledge.

00:32:03.120 our number three

00:32:04.220 Clay Travis

00:32:05.160 Buck Sexton show.

00:32:06.940 We appreciate all of you

00:32:08.180 hanging out with us.

00:32:10.000 I have gone to war

00:32:11.760 with the state of New

00:32:12.480 Mexico unexpectedly

00:32:13.640 today.

00:32:15.380 I hope that

00:32:16.460 all of you living in

00:32:18.260 I don't even know

00:32:18.700 what is this.

00:32:19.280 New Mexico,

00:32:19.780 the frontier state.

00:32:22.540 So don't,

00:32:23.380 don't dig me

00:32:24.040 into this hole with you.

00:32:25.080 Don't start asking me

00:32:26.000 New Mexico trivia

00:32:27.020 so I have to take

00:32:28.040 the incoming on this one.

00:32:29.460 I want to say

00:32:29.960 something nice

00:32:30.560 about New Mexico.

00:32:31.960 One of my college

00:32:32.840 roommates lives there

00:32:33.600 and I've been to

00:32:35.780 Albuquerque

00:32:36.360 and what I remember

00:32:37.460 is that they have

00:32:38.500 a lot of honey

00:32:39.800 that they put on

00:32:40.580 burritos.

00:32:41.520 And that sounds like

00:32:42.320 something that doesn't

00:32:42.880 make a lot of sense

00:32:43.560 but it actually tastes

00:32:44.440 very good.

00:32:45.460 So I would miss

00:32:47.260 the honey on the

00:32:48.060 burritos if we let

00:32:49.440 New Mexico go back

00:32:50.660 to Mexico

00:32:51.120 and if we ended up

00:32:52.800 with better states

00:32:53.520 instead.

00:32:54.560 So that is

00:32:56.860 the land of enchantment

00:32:59.020 is what New Mexico is.

00:33:00.500 I thought it was

00:33:00.960 the frontier state.

00:33:02.200 That's Alaska I guess.

00:33:04.080 But we are having

00:33:05.720 a lot of fun.

00:33:06.460 Venezuela talk.

00:33:07.660 Tim Wall's talk.

00:33:09.660 Oh no.

00:33:11.520 Tim Wall's talk

00:33:12.560 is always great

00:33:13.480 and fantastic.

00:33:14.880 Do you,

00:33:15.320 can we,

00:33:16.220 since we're already

00:33:16.800 talking about states

00:33:17.780 that you want to give away,

00:33:19.460 you are willing to

00:33:20.380 trade.

00:33:21.300 Trade away.

00:33:22.140 Trade away.

00:33:22.800 It's a little bit like

00:33:23.780 giving.

00:33:24.180 Not give away.

00:33:24.700 I want something better

00:33:25.660 in exchange for them

00:33:26.780 but I'm willing to

00:33:27.700 barter them,

00:33:28.480 trade them.

00:33:29.420 Well what are we

00:33:30.140 trading for New York City

00:33:31.420 being destroyed by

00:33:32.300 Mom Donnie?

00:33:32.980 Just the knowledge

00:33:33.740 that communism

00:33:34.420 never works?

00:33:35.620 We're going to have

00:33:36.460 a bigger house majority

00:33:37.680 and maybe add a couple

00:33:39.040 of Senate seats.

00:33:39.920 So it makes me sad

00:33:41.140 that all of you

00:33:42.160 in New York City,

00:33:44.140 just New York City,

00:33:45.180 I mean,

00:33:45.600 I bet Long Island's

00:33:46.960 going to be nicer.

00:33:47.740 I bet Westchester's

00:33:48.680 going to be nicer.

00:33:50.240 But those of you,

00:33:51.220 maybe Staten Island

00:33:51.980 because it's protected

00:33:52.900 and has its own island,

00:33:54.360 maybe it will be okay.

00:33:55.840 But Manhattan in particular,

00:33:57.580 Brooklyn,

00:33:58.120 Queens,

00:33:58.520 all of you are done.

00:33:59.520 I'm sorry.

00:34:00.340 You know,

00:34:00.620 you just sink beneath

00:34:01.520 the waves like Atlantis

00:34:04.080 and the rest of the country

00:34:05.920 just goes right on.

00:34:06.700 I saw where,

00:34:08.220 who was it,

00:34:08.960 David Sachs came out

00:34:10.220 and said Miami's

00:34:11.880 going to replace

00:34:12.640 New York City

00:34:13.320 as the financial capital

00:34:14.540 of the United States.

00:34:16.000 Did you see that

00:34:16.620 prediction from him?

00:34:17.620 The idea that is,

00:34:19.400 yeah,

00:34:19.660 the idea that's out there now

00:34:21.040 is that South Florida,

00:34:22.960 it's really Miami

00:34:23.740 and the 95 corridor

00:34:25.500 up to Palm Beach

00:34:26.640 and that area,

00:34:27.740 West Palm,

00:34:28.400 Palm Beach,

00:34:29.220 and on down

00:34:29.960 is going to become

00:34:31.100 a major global financial hub

00:34:33.840 and that there will be

00:34:38.320 a move also

00:34:40.540 of these California billionaires

00:34:42.320 to Texas.

00:34:43.320 Yes.

00:34:43.960 For the tech hub.

00:34:45.000 I think he's right.

00:34:46.880 There is some momentum

00:34:49.340 behind both of those things

00:34:51.180 that this is already

00:34:51.980 going on in some ways.

00:34:54.600 So,

00:34:55.320 yeah.

00:34:56.120 I think that,

00:34:57.700 look,

00:34:58.560 I do believe that

00:35:00.140 one of the biggest

00:35:00.960 legacies of COVID

00:35:01.960 is going to be

00:35:03.400 that a lot of people

00:35:04.400 became aware

00:35:05.540 that they could live

00:35:06.800 anywhere in the country

00:35:07.800 and indeed all over the world

00:35:09.480 and they would not

00:35:10.800 actually lose

00:35:12.020 the ability

00:35:12.600 to do their job

00:35:13.500 at a high level.

00:35:14.960 And so,

00:35:15.580 if you have made

00:35:16.840 that risk-taking test

00:35:19.820 that you would never

00:35:21.000 have tried on your own,

00:35:22.120 right?

00:35:22.300 If you make a million dollars

00:35:23.480 a year

00:35:23.920 and you are a super successful

00:35:25.520 New York City

00:35:26.080 investment banker,

00:35:27.320 you would have never said,

00:35:28.500 hey,

00:35:28.660 let me see if I can still

00:35:29.660 do my job just as well.

00:35:30.900 I'm going to risk it

00:35:31.520 and move to Miami

00:35:32.400 or I'm going to move to Houston

00:35:33.340 or I'm going to move to Nashville

00:35:34.960 where I live.

00:35:35.880 A lot of those guys did it

00:35:37.180 and now they're looking around

00:35:38.540 and they're saying,

00:35:39.000 why would I pay 14%

00:35:40.280 in state income taxes

00:35:42.160 much like Buck yourself

00:35:43.360 if you can do your job

00:35:45.340 just as well

00:35:46.220 and, oh, by the way,

00:35:47.380 also live potentially

00:35:48.640 in a more hospitable environment

00:35:51.500 to raise a family

00:35:52.540 as I think most people

00:35:53.580 would say,

00:35:54.400 hey, Texas, Tennessee, Florida,

00:35:56.440 does that feel like

00:35:57.460 a better place

00:35:58.100 to raise a family

00:35:58.800 to a lot of people

00:35:59.640 than New York City

00:36:00.340 or LA or Chicago?

00:36:01.920 I think a lot of people

00:36:02.520 are saying yes

00:36:03.200 and they're moving

00:36:03.800 and so I do think culturally

00:36:06.800 when David Sachs said that

00:36:08.260 it kind of made me

00:36:09.160 raise my eyebrows

00:36:10.060 a little bit

00:36:10.720 and I'm not 100% sold

00:36:12.760 on the idea necessarily

00:36:15.300 but, man,

00:36:16.440 every time I come down

00:36:17.360 to see you in Miami,

00:36:18.840 the number of buildings

00:36:20.260 going up,

00:36:21.540 it is extraordinary

00:36:23.080 to see the amount

00:36:24.380 of building

00:36:24.920 that is going on

00:36:25.780 in South Florida

00:36:26.620 and the property,

00:36:28.460 what people are paying

00:36:29.560 to live in South Florida now,

00:36:31.800 the amount of wealth

00:36:32.820 that is relocating

00:36:33.940 and then I think

00:36:35.320 what you're going to see

00:36:36.140 is the state of New York

00:36:37.920 and California

00:36:39.400 and Illinois

00:36:40.540 as they lose

00:36:42.260 some of those rich residents,

00:36:43.720 they're going to have

00:36:44.340 to raise taxes

00:36:45.140 and that's going to accelerate

00:36:46.320 the departure

00:36:47.120 of other people

00:36:47.980 and so I think

00:36:49.060 the end result

00:36:49.600 is going to be

00:36:50.140 that much like Atlantis,

00:36:51.320 New York City

00:36:51.740 is going to sink

00:36:52.580 beneath the waters

00:36:53.360 and the rest of us

00:36:54.640 are going to benefit

00:36:55.400 from your destruction.

00:36:57.260 Well, I'm not going

00:36:58.280 to sit here

00:36:59.200 downing mint juleps,

00:37:02.180 okay,

00:37:02.820 a la Mr. Tennessee

00:37:04.640 Clay Travis over there

00:37:06.220 while New York

00:37:07.780 just slips

00:37:08.820 into New York Harbor

00:37:10.780 and while Manhattan

00:37:11.560 disappears,

00:37:12.560 I'm going to help you fight.

00:37:14.380 Fight the madness

00:37:15.300 that is Momdaniism

00:37:17.180 which has already

00:37:18.120 showed up

00:37:19.440 in all kinds of ways here.

00:37:20.700 Let's start

00:37:21.380 with this one, Clay.

00:37:22.820 This is a flashback.

00:37:25.280 Momdani's tenant director

00:37:27.060 is someone named,

00:37:28.140 I think,

00:37:28.940 Sia Weaver.

00:37:30.660 I don't know,

00:37:31.060 I guess that's how

00:37:31.520 you say her first name.

00:37:33.340 I think this is

00:37:34.440 super important.

00:37:35.260 We should mention this

00:37:36.000 because this always comes up.

00:37:38.680 It's not just Momdani.

00:37:40.520 It's who he puts

00:37:41.760 into so many

00:37:42.680 of these positions

00:37:43.540 and he's picking

00:37:44.480 a lot of crazy people.

00:37:45.860 wackos.

00:37:46.680 He's building

00:37:47.400 a wacko brigade

00:37:48.320 around him

00:37:48.920 which is a really,

00:37:49.880 really bad sign

00:37:51.640 of what's going

00:37:53.320 to be happening here.

00:37:54.680 Here is,

00:37:55.520 this is a flashback

00:37:57.060 in this video

00:37:57.840 to Momdani's

00:37:59.840 tenant director.

00:38:01.560 I want to,

00:38:02.280 just listen to the words

00:38:03.580 she uses

00:38:04.340 when she's talking

00:38:05.100 about people

00:38:06.400 being able to own

00:38:07.640 and rent homes

00:38:09.400 in New York.

00:38:10.400 Play 19.

00:38:10.840 I think the reality

00:38:12.580 is,

00:38:13.200 is that for centuries

00:38:14.580 we've really

00:38:15.480 treated

00:38:16.200 property

00:38:17.500 as an individualized

00:38:18.780 good

00:38:19.060 and not a collective

00:38:19.780 good

00:38:20.280 and we are going to,

00:38:22.160 and transitioning

00:38:22.880 to treating it

00:38:23.860 as a collective

00:38:25.760 good

00:38:26.220 and towards

00:38:26.920 a model

00:38:27.280 of shared equity

00:38:28.120 will require

00:38:29.820 that we think

00:38:30.460 about it differently

00:38:31.240 and it will mean

00:38:32.820 that families,

00:38:34.040 especially white families,

00:38:35.200 but some POC families

00:38:36.360 who are homeowners

00:38:36.880 as well

00:38:37.420 are going to have

00:38:39.160 a different relationship

00:38:40.520 to property

00:38:41.080 than the one

00:38:42.480 that we currently have.

00:38:43.740 Okay,

00:38:44.280 so first off,

00:38:45.360 before we dive

00:38:46.060 into the insanity here,

00:38:48.120 ironclad rule,

00:38:49.520 you cannot give anyone

00:38:50.920 authority

00:38:52.000 in anything

00:38:53.140 who does this

00:38:54.160 up-talking thing,

00:38:55.420 who does this thing

00:38:56.460 where she starts

00:38:57.020 talking up

00:38:57.760 at the end of sentences

00:38:58.880 like it was

00:39:00.560 a collective good

00:39:01.980 and now we're going

00:39:02.840 to treat it

00:39:03.280 like it's,

00:39:04.920 or it was,

00:39:05.660 you know,

00:39:05.780 you know what I'm saying.

00:39:06.860 That's always a huge,

00:39:07.900 that's a huge red flag.

00:39:08.960 You don't want to listen

00:39:09.440 to anybody

00:39:09.900 about anything important

00:39:10.940 who does the up-talk thing

00:39:12.180 at the end of sentences.

00:39:13.220 I'm just telling you,

00:39:14.000 it's true.

00:39:14.700 You don't want this person

00:39:15.540 operating on your heart.

00:39:17.000 You don't want them

00:39:17.840 collecting,

00:39:18.800 you know,

00:39:19.600 rent.

00:39:19.980 You don't want them

00:39:20.380 doing anything

00:39:20.820 of any importance for you.

00:39:21.860 That's part one.

00:39:22.560 Part two,

00:39:23.460 notice that he has

00:39:24.120 to just be like,

00:39:25.240 yeah,

00:39:25.440 we're just going to hurt

00:39:26.280 white families more

00:39:27.400 because,

00:39:28.060 you know,

00:39:28.260 private property rights

00:39:29.440 aren't really a thing.

00:39:31.300 This is how these

00:39:32.620 lunatics

00:39:33.560 speak behind closed doors

00:39:35.260 and they're not

00:39:36.140 supposed to be able

00:39:37.140 to fool enough people

00:39:38.080 to have any political power,

00:39:39.360 but Mamdani did.

00:39:40.820 You asked the question,

00:39:42.240 which I think

00:39:42.600 is a really good one.

00:39:43.840 What if Democrats

00:39:44.540 are just wrong

00:39:45.260 about everything?

00:39:47.180 It's not just Democrats,

00:39:49.640 though.

00:39:50.100 It's the base

00:39:51.040 of the Democrat Party

00:39:52.360 that is driving

00:39:53.240 all of this insanity.

00:39:54.480 And do you know

00:39:55.420 who the base

00:39:56.120 of the Democrat Party

00:39:57.300 is?

00:39:58.460 White women.

00:39:59.060 White women

00:40:01.520 are highly educated

00:40:04.440 white women

00:40:05.040 have bought into

00:40:07.000 everything that is wrong

00:40:09.220 in America

00:40:10.340 and they aggressively

00:40:12.500 put in place

00:40:14.160 policies

00:40:14.920 that are utterly wrong

00:40:17.100 on all fronts.

00:40:18.800 I just,

00:40:20.120 I look at it

00:40:21.040 and I know

00:40:21.740 every time I say this,

00:40:23.140 we get,

00:40:24.240 you know,

00:40:24.700 it's like,

00:40:25.280 it reminds me of the,

00:40:26.660 what was the Chris Rock joke

00:40:29.180 he used to tell

00:40:29.780 where women would sing along

00:40:31.720 to really degrading

00:40:33.300 rap lyrics

00:40:33.940 and they would be like,

00:40:35.240 he's not talking about me

00:40:36.400 and he's like,

00:40:36.980 he's saying your name.

00:40:38.460 You know,

00:40:38.720 like,

00:40:38.980 it's a great line.

00:40:40.240 If you ever would go out

00:40:41.420 to a bar,

00:40:42.440 rap lyrics,

00:40:43.420 very degrading to women

00:40:44.460 and all the women

00:40:45.080 are dancing around

00:40:45.980 like crazy,

00:40:47.140 you know,

00:40:48.080 rapping along

00:40:49.040 with the lyrics.

00:40:50.680 And whenever I say this,

00:40:52.160 white women are like,

00:40:53.240 not me,

00:40:53.960 I'm not it.

00:40:54.640 Yeah, okay.

00:40:55.020 But as a percentage,

00:40:58.060 overwhelmingly,

00:40:59.240 the most destructive force

00:41:00.900 in America today

00:41:02.000 is white women.

00:41:04.480 Left wing

00:41:05.620 and frankly,

00:41:08.380 unmarried white women.

00:41:10.420 Unmarried white women

00:41:11.800 is really the demographic

00:41:13.200 you're talking about, buddy.

00:41:15.340 But they are destroying

00:41:17.700 the country

00:41:18.260 and they're wrong

00:41:19.500 on every single issue.

00:41:22.660 And the scary thing,

00:41:23.700 I bet this chick

00:41:24.480 that we're playing

00:41:25.440 the audio from,

00:41:26.440 I bet she's an unmarried

00:41:27.380 white woman,

00:41:28.140 God forbid,

00:41:28.720 if she's got a husband.

00:41:30.320 Poor bastard.

00:41:32.000 But I will tell you

00:41:33.820 right now,

00:41:35.300 the scary thing to me,

00:41:36.440 Buck,

00:41:36.620 is not being wrong

00:41:37.540 because trust me,

00:41:39.220 I've been wrong on a lot.

00:41:40.360 You've been wrong on a lot.

00:41:41.360 Everybody out there

00:41:42.040 has been wrong on a lot.

00:41:43.520 It's not being willing

00:41:44.940 or able to recognize

00:41:46.580 when you are wrong

00:41:47.960 and changing your opinion

00:41:49.600 or changing your lifestyle choices.

00:41:51.580 These crazy unmarried white women

00:41:54.460 are so committed

00:41:56.260 to the destructive belief systems

00:41:59.620 that they have

00:42:00.400 that results don't change

00:42:03.260 their opinions.

00:42:04.440 I'm going to tell you,

00:42:05.080 honestly, man,

00:42:05.720 it's just unmarried single women.

00:42:07.080 It's unmarried women

00:42:08.420 in like middle,

00:42:10.980 you know,

00:42:11.180 particularly like late 30s

00:42:12.680 up until they're 50.

00:42:13.540 That's the demographic.

00:42:15.320 It's across all races.

00:42:16.840 They've got really bad policies.

00:42:17.960 Young women are wrong

00:42:19.560 like young men are

00:42:20.580 because they're just knuckleheads

00:42:21.940 and they haven't had

00:42:22.620 enough life experience

00:42:23.740 to learn as you age.

00:42:25.780 You start to have

00:42:26.580 a better life perspective

00:42:27.720 and you can adjust

00:42:29.000 in your opinion.

00:42:30.360 So younger people,

00:42:31.560 I think,

00:42:32.360 oftentimes have

00:42:33.520 moronic at takes.

00:42:34.720 I've got all sorts

00:42:35.480 of opinions I had

00:42:36.260 when I was 17

00:42:37.160 that I was stupid about.

00:42:38.120 The true base

00:42:39.000 by the numbers

00:42:39.720 of the Democrat Party

00:42:40.580 is actually black female voters.

00:42:42.720 That's the absolute

00:42:44.060 locked in base

00:42:45.800 that they have

00:42:46.620 when it comes to voting.

00:42:47.720 But I don't know

00:42:48.580 that black women

00:42:50.440 drive the choices

00:42:52.280 made by the Democrat Party

00:42:54.000 as much as

00:42:55.260 highly educated,

00:42:57.080 unmarried white women do.

00:42:59.620 That's the base of my argument.

00:43:00.940 You're talking about

00:43:01.380 who's like the policy director

00:43:02.800 versus who's the base.

00:43:04.100 That's right.

00:43:04.800 You're right.

00:43:05.460 The percentages of people

00:43:06.540 who are going to show up

00:43:07.420 and just vote

00:43:08.000 because they've always voted

00:43:09.120 Democrat,

00:43:10.920 black women

00:43:11.400 are the most loyal

00:43:12.360 Democrat voters.

00:43:13.420 But the people

00:43:14.000 that are actually driving

00:43:15.200 the proverbial bus

00:43:16.260 of the Democrat Party

00:43:17.360 are unmarried

00:43:18.780 white women

00:43:19.660 and they are driving

00:43:21.180 basically the bus

00:43:22.260 off the side of a cliff

00:43:23.520 and they don't recognize

00:43:25.840 even choices

00:43:26.520 they make in New York City.

00:43:28.540 Mom Donnie,

00:43:29.120 if he actually puts in place

00:43:30.320 the policies

00:43:30.860 that he said

00:43:31.400 he's going to do,

00:43:32.540 you know what's going to happen?

00:43:33.880 Women are going to be

00:43:35.340 infinitely more dangerous

00:43:36.980 in the lifestyle choices

00:43:39.060 that they make.

00:43:39.800 You're not going to be able

00:43:40.240 to ride the subway.

00:43:41.360 You're not going to be able

00:43:41.900 to ride the buses.

00:43:43.040 They're actually making choices

00:43:45.200 that are utterly destructive

00:43:47.040 for their own lifestyle

00:43:49.000 and they're not willing

00:43:51.120 to recognize

00:43:51.840 that they made the choice.

00:43:53.240 Remember the great

00:43:54.200 Sex in the City show

00:43:55.200 back in the day, Buck?

00:43:56.200 There's a line where

00:43:57.540 Charlotte,

00:43:58.480 who I thought was the

00:44:00.000 best-looking

00:44:00.700 I think that show

00:44:01.120 led women off a cliff

00:44:02.140 so I would never refer

00:44:03.000 to it as great.

00:44:03.740 I think that show

00:44:04.540 is enormously destructive

00:44:06.040 to a generation of women.

00:44:07.320 I've always believed that

00:44:08.300 and some chicks thought

00:44:09.240 I was crazy years ago

00:44:10.740 and now they're like,

00:44:11.380 Buck, you're right.

00:44:12.260 You're like a seer

00:44:12.960 of all things.

00:44:13.520 It is an entertaining show

00:44:14.840 but I think if it's a lifestyle

00:44:16.200 but Charlotte at one point

00:44:18.700 has this realization

00:44:20.140 where she's made

00:44:21.740 all these life choices

00:44:22.980 and they've all been wrong

00:44:24.520 and she has this meltdown

00:44:26.640 where she says,

00:44:27.700 I chose my choice,

00:44:29.040 I chose my choice,

00:44:30.040 I chose my choice.

00:44:31.300 That is a realization

00:44:32.340 that you made choices

00:44:33.820 in your life

00:44:34.580 that led you

00:44:35.260 to the position

00:44:35.960 where you are.

00:44:37.440 I don't think

00:44:38.160 a lot of these women

00:44:39.000 are capable

00:44:39.880 of logically recognizing

00:44:41.860 that they have chosen

00:44:43.240 the method

00:44:43.680 of their own destruction

00:44:44.720 to use a Ghostbusters reference.

00:44:47.680 They're actually making choices

00:44:49.500 that are utterly destructive

00:44:51.500 to their lifestyle

00:44:53.640 and there isn't a recognition of it.

00:44:57.680 It would be different

00:44:58.400 if you thought,

00:45:00.900 this is something

00:45:01.920 I worry about all the time.

00:45:03.480 If you have a consequence

00:45:05.280 free reality of your world,

00:45:09.000 then how can you

00:45:11.060 in some way

00:45:11.820 get people

00:45:12.460 to make rational choices?

00:45:14.800 Well, this is the lack

00:45:15.780 of accountability

00:45:16.420 that I always talk about

00:45:17.160 is the centerpiece

00:45:18.620 of the Democrat Party's

00:45:20.740 pitch to people

00:45:21.380 which is that

00:45:21.920 nothing that is in your life

00:45:23.060 that is bad

00:45:23.600 is your fault

00:45:24.280 or could be changed

00:45:25.380 by you.

00:45:26.180 It is other people's fault

00:45:27.880 and the government

00:45:28.740 is there

00:45:29.320 to hurt those people

00:45:30.540 that are the reason

00:45:31.980 you are dissatisfied

00:45:33.080 with things

00:45:33.780 and to give you

00:45:34.680 the things

00:45:35.140 that you think

00:45:35.740 you deserve.

00:45:36.900 That's like the

00:45:37.540 fundamental pitch

00:45:38.340 of the Democrat.

00:45:39.340 Really, it's just socialism

00:45:40.940 but they don't call it that.

00:45:42.380 That's what it is.

00:45:43.460 And speaking of socialism,

00:45:45.000 you've got like Mom Donnie.

00:45:46.820 You know what?

00:45:47.220 We can come back to this, Clay,

00:45:48.320 but Mom Donnie

00:45:48.960 talking about how

00:45:50.060 World Cup tickets

00:45:51.620 for everybody.

00:45:52.560 You know, soccer

00:45:53.040 World Cup tickets.

00:45:55.160 He's the mayor

00:45:55.880 of New York.

00:45:56.520 He's not emperor

00:45:58.020 of the universe

00:45:58.780 but if you're a commie,

00:46:00.700 it's the same thing to you.

00:46:02.080 Yeah, we'll play that.

00:46:03.480 I saw that clip

00:46:04.220 that was going viral yesterday.

00:46:05.780 Mom Donnie

00:46:06.220 has basically decided

00:46:07.400 that he has to address

00:46:08.280 every single issue

00:46:09.260 every day.

00:46:10.120 The mayor of New York City,

00:46:11.600 I don't know

00:46:12.000 that you really need

00:46:12.760 to call President Trump

00:46:14.460 and give him your opinion

00:46:15.220 on Venezuela, right?

00:46:16.460 I mean, is that really

00:46:17.100 the essence

00:46:17.560 of your decision making?

00:46:18.880 This may be the year

00:48:08.080 on iHeartRadio

00:48:09.080 or wherever you

00:48:09.840 listen to your podcasts.

00:48:12.100 Welcome back in,

00:48:13.360 Clay,

00:48:13.900 Travis,

00:48:14.400 Buck,

00:48:14.760 Sexton show.

00:48:17.020 Let's see,

00:48:17.760 we've got a bunch

00:48:19.060 of different clips

00:48:20.800 out there.

00:48:21.300 Tim Walls finally

00:48:22.080 took questions

00:48:22.940 and he refused

00:48:25.840 to resign,

00:48:26.640 says only will he resign

00:48:28.700 over his dead body.

00:48:30.260 Cut 30.

00:48:31.580 Republicans want

00:48:32.440 to tell you

00:48:32.940 everybody with brown skin

00:48:34.260 is stealing money

00:48:35.100 or that they're

00:48:35.900 not welcome here.

00:48:37.380 They want to do

00:48:38.500 nothing to improve

00:48:40.140 this state.

00:48:41.040 Their idea of

00:48:41.780 improving this state

00:48:42.740 is being a parrot

00:48:44.560 for Donald Trump

00:48:45.460 agreeing to everything

00:48:46.420 that he agreed with.

00:48:47.320 Well, here's what

00:48:47.680 I'm going to tell you.

00:48:48.260 It ain't happening.

00:48:49.740 I'm not going anywhere.

00:48:51.100 And you can make

00:48:51.720 all your requests

00:48:52.480 for me to resign

00:48:53.260 over my dead body.

00:48:54.560 Will that happen?

00:48:55.680 I will fight this thing

00:48:56.900 till the very end

00:48:57.820 to make this state better.

00:48:59.320 And the question

00:49:00.160 that I think

00:49:00.560 they need to decide

00:49:01.440 is when did the guy

00:49:02.740 in the White House resign?

00:49:04.140 When does he take

00:49:04.960 accountability

00:49:05.380 for what he did?

00:49:06.240 Because it isn't

00:49:06.840 going to happen here

00:49:07.720 in terms of us

00:49:08.980 shying away

00:49:09.900 from making the state better.

00:49:11.180 So you'll get

00:49:12.560 to see me more.

00:49:13.660 The good news

00:49:14.260 is on this

00:49:14.880 is that I got

00:49:16.640 no election

00:49:17.120 to look forward to.

00:49:18.260 I've been in front of you.

00:49:19.740 I'll call on

00:49:20.400 who I want to call on

00:49:21.540 and I'll watch

00:49:22.560 what the press gets written

00:49:23.700 and we'll make sure

00:49:24.920 that in this state

00:49:25.740 there's full accountability

00:49:26.800 for everybody

00:49:27.600 because I,

00:49:29.000 Buck stops with me.

00:49:29.860 I'm accountable for this.

00:49:31.220 And because of that accountability,

00:49:32.540 I'm not running

00:49:33.040 for office again.

00:49:34.220 But I have a year

00:49:35.360 to continue to improve

00:49:36.620 on a record

00:49:37.160 that I think

00:49:37.740 will stand up

00:49:38.300 against anybody's.

00:49:39.200 A record

00:49:39.920 that has made

00:49:40.480 Minnesota better.

00:49:41.620 A record

00:49:42.020 that makes people

00:49:42.680 want to come here.

00:49:43.400 and a record

00:49:44.200 that has respected

00:49:45.020 not only the dignity

00:49:45.960 of people

00:49:46.520 but the idea

00:49:47.420 of rule of law

00:49:48.380 and camaraderie.

00:49:50.120 Okay.

00:49:51.800 What's interesting here

00:49:52.940 to me

00:49:53.480 in general

00:49:55.200 is

00:49:56.300 does it feel like

00:49:57.160 to you

00:49:57.600 the whole

00:49:58.140 like he tried

00:49:58.860 to start off

00:49:59.480 the argument

00:49:59.980 by saying

00:50:00.680 oh this is about

00:50:01.760 racism

00:50:02.380 and this is about

00:50:03.220 coming after people

00:50:03.960 who are brown skinned.

00:50:05.280 Does it feel like

00:50:05.900 to you

00:50:06.380 that that argument

00:50:07.440 has just complete

00:50:09.020 like it used to be

00:50:10.640 you could shut down

00:50:11.840 people really quickly

00:50:12.860 if you said

00:50:13.820 hey you know

00:50:14.620 we got to look at crime

00:50:15.620 and black guys

00:50:16.420 commit more crime

00:50:17.040 than white guys.

00:50:17.620 They're like

00:50:18.180 oh my god

00:50:19.100 you know

00:50:19.520 the Overton window

00:50:20.760 was so small

00:50:21.620 that if you said that

00:50:22.480 they would say

00:50:22.860 that's racist of you

00:50:23.920 to notice

00:50:24.520 what basic data shows

00:50:26.120 and they would try

00:50:27.460 to shut down

00:50:27.940 the conversation.

00:50:29.220 It feels like

00:50:29.720 they've lost

00:50:30.300 that battle now

00:50:31.200 and I don't know

00:50:31.680 if it's social media

00:50:32.660 just exploiting

00:50:34.520 larger marketplace

00:50:36.280 of ideas conversations

00:50:37.480 but they're still

00:50:38.440 trying to make it

00:50:39.320 and it doesn't even

00:50:40.160 work on legacy

00:50:41.300 media anymore.

00:50:42.920 Yes that's all true

00:50:44.080 and there's a number

00:50:44.680 of reasons why

00:50:45.480 I think that

00:50:46.340 Elon Musk's

00:50:47.640 purchase of X

00:50:48.520 is still one of

00:50:49.060 the most important

00:50:49.740 free speech

00:50:50.540 turning points

00:50:51.360 in the 21st century

00:50:53.660 and I know

00:50:54.940 that for many of you

00:50:55.740 who aren't even on X

00:50:56.740 or never on Twitter

00:50:57.560 you're like

00:50:57.860 how can that be?

00:50:59.080 It's the only place

00:51:00.280 at scale

00:51:01.020 and I know

00:51:02.080 some of you

00:51:02.460 are going to tell me

00:51:02.880 truth and whatever

00:51:03.540 and I appreciate that

00:51:04.300 but the numbers

00:51:05.380 speak to this

00:51:06.000 that's a very small

00:51:07.320 fraction

00:51:08.340 of what you have

00:51:09.600 on X

00:51:09.900 it's the only place

00:51:10.880 at scale

00:51:11.640 where ideas

00:51:13.400 can be shared

00:51:14.360 and can really

00:51:15.360 take hold

00:51:16.560 of the public

00:51:17.220 consciousness

00:51:17.780 in a way

00:51:19.180 that is not

00:51:19.840 dominated

00:51:20.780 has not been

00:51:21.480 dominated by

00:51:22.080 left-wing control

00:51:22.640 we do have

00:51:23.140 Congressman

00:51:23.940 Chip Roy

00:51:25.180 out of Texas

00:51:25.740 with us now

00:51:26.440 Congressman

00:51:26.880 appreciate you

00:51:27.520 being with us

00:51:28.320 great to be with you

00:51:29.520 sorry to step out

00:51:30.320 of our

00:51:30.660 chief evening

00:51:31.820 day we have

00:51:32.180 with the president

00:51:32.640 and had to

00:51:33.880 give you all a call

00:51:34.560 but great to be on

00:51:35.200 no appreciate it

00:51:36.260 tell the big guy

00:51:36.900 we send him a high five

00:51:37.900 he's doing an amazing

00:51:38.620 job

00:51:39.160 we give him

00:51:41.100 give lots of thanks

00:51:42.120 to him for a great

00:51:42.700 2025

00:51:43.220 but we're talking

00:51:44.520 here a little bit

00:51:45.160 actually about

00:51:45.940 what's going on

00:51:46.940 in Minnesota

00:51:47.420 the fraud there

00:51:48.820 and now people are

00:51:49.440 saying if it's that

00:51:50.300 bad in Minnesota

00:51:50.860 what's it look like

00:51:51.820 in California

00:51:52.580 what's your take

00:51:53.420 on this one

00:51:53.840 Congressman

00:51:54.220 yeah I mean look

00:51:56.040 what we're seeing

00:51:57.040 there is the

00:51:58.540 inevitable outcome

00:52:00.020 of two things

00:52:01.080 a very broken

00:52:02.060 immigration system

00:52:03.320 both legal and

00:52:04.100 illegal

00:52:04.440 that flooded our

00:52:05.760 country

00:52:06.060 particularly places

00:52:06.840 like Minneapolis

00:52:07.460 with individuals

00:52:08.140 who are

00:52:09.620 you know

00:52:10.360 obviously engaging

00:52:11.140 in rampant fraud

00:52:12.640 and taking

00:52:14.040 taxpayer money

00:52:14.760 and basically

00:52:15.980 expanding it

00:52:16.620 and bringing

00:52:16.920 family members

00:52:17.500 over and

00:52:18.180 abusing our

00:52:19.020 immigration system

00:52:19.720 but it's also

00:52:20.300 the product of a

00:52:21.120 welfare state

00:52:21.940 that is out of

00:52:22.440 control

00:52:22.820 we have been

00:52:23.820 doling out

00:52:24.380 billions of

00:52:25.100 dollars

00:52:25.380 hundreds of

00:52:25.940 billions of

00:52:26.320 dollars

00:52:26.640 non-stop

00:52:27.640 now for years

00:52:28.280 and it was put

00:52:28.660 on steroids

00:52:29.260 under the

00:52:29.600 Biden administration

00:52:30.320 and now all

00:52:31.260 of those two

00:52:31.720 things collided

00:52:32.500 to produce this

00:52:34.040 disaster in

00:52:34.960 Minneapolis

00:52:35.320 yes it's bad

00:52:36.260 in California

00:52:36.680 remember by the

00:52:37.300 way last May

00:52:38.220 June when we

00:52:39.240 were working to

00:52:39.740 get the big

00:52:40.100 beautiful bill

00:52:40.680 passed

00:52:41.220 remember those

00:52:42.240 of us who

00:52:42.620 were fighting

00:52:43.100 and saying we

00:52:43.640 needed the

00:52:44.040 Medicaid work

00:52:44.700 requirements and

00:52:45.380 that we needed

00:52:45.880 requirements to

00:52:47.320 clamp down on

00:52:47.900 fraud remember we

00:52:48.620 were being

00:52:48.880 saying well you're

00:52:49.460 going to take

00:52:49.840 away Medicaid

00:52:50.360 you're going to

00:52:50.920 make all these

00:52:51.440 no we

00:52:52.420 we were trying

00:52:52.760 to make sure

00:52:53.280 that only

00:52:53.740 American citizens

00:52:54.620 were able to

00:52:55.480 get that benefit

00:52:56.780 through Medicaid

00:52:57.340 and we were

00:52:58.040 trying to get

00:52:58.480 rid of fraud

00:52:59.080 and by the way

00:52:59.940 Medicaid keeps

00:53:00.640 going up under

00:53:01.300 the big

00:53:01.540 beautiful bill

00:53:02.100 but we're just

00:53:02.860 trying to tighten

00:53:03.440 down the fraud

00:53:04.080 now we've got

00:53:04.880 miles to go

00:53:05.580 we're trying to

00:53:06.080 fight through the

00:53:06.500 appropriations process

00:53:07.360 now working with

00:53:08.300 the president's team

00:53:09.320 at the office of

00:53:09.840 management and budget

00:53:10.540 now you've got DOJ

00:53:11.880 and you've got them

00:53:12.340 out there investigating

00:53:13.180 in Minnesota we need

00:53:14.060 to keep doing it

00:53:14.760 and exposing it

00:53:15.580 and frankly all of you

00:53:16.720 people out there

00:53:17.300 that are keyboard warriors

00:53:18.640 looking at this stuff

00:53:19.400 and finding the information

00:53:20.360 there's a great guy

00:53:21.160 what is it

00:53:22.360 OSO Brando

00:53:23.340 his Twitter account

00:53:24.740 he's a great Texan

00:53:25.520 dives into all of

00:53:26.520 these accounts

00:53:27.000 and they frankly do

00:53:27.720 a lot of work for us

00:53:28.400 to help identify this

00:53:29.240 stuff so we're going

00:53:30.360 after it and doing

00:53:30.960 the best we can

00:53:31.560 and we've got to

00:53:32.120 just do more

00:53:32.620 because that fraud

00:53:33.300 is all over the place

00:53:34.100 because of the money

00:53:34.700 that's flowing

00:53:35.180 you're running for

00:53:36.360 you're running for

00:53:36.380 attorney general

00:53:37.080 of Texas

00:53:37.780 in addition to being

00:53:39.020 a congressman

00:53:39.660 right now

00:53:40.680 Venezuela

00:53:42.080 what is the read

00:53:43.960 on oil and gas

00:53:45.440 from somebody

00:53:46.020 who's in a state

00:53:46.960 that knows more

00:53:47.680 about oil and gas

00:53:48.600 than anybody

00:53:49.080 what is the reaction

00:53:50.160 that you're hearing

00:53:50.900 from the people

00:53:51.480 in the oil and gas

00:53:52.580 industry

00:53:53.060 what do you think

00:53:53.640 should happen

00:53:54.220 will happen

00:53:54.820 with Venezuela

00:53:55.420 well first of all

00:53:57.060 the president

00:53:57.420 showed great leadership

00:53:58.540 in what he did

00:53:59.120 engaging in Venezuela

00:54:00.040 this is not unprecedented

00:54:01.260 obviously Noriego

00:54:02.220 was a president

00:54:02.900 legally

00:54:03.380 I think the president

00:54:04.000 is going to be on

00:54:04.440 strong footing

00:54:04.960 in court

00:54:05.380 went out and

00:54:06.440 extricated somebody

00:54:07.260 and brought him

00:54:08.180 here for justice

00:54:08.700 who'd been indicted

00:54:09.400 for engaging

00:54:10.040 and carrying out

00:54:10.740 criminal activity

00:54:11.580 and organized crime

00:54:13.240 with cartels

00:54:13.840 and putting drugs

00:54:14.460 into our communities

00:54:15.120 so it was the right

00:54:15.900 thing to do

00:54:16.360 they're now going

00:54:16.800 to try to make sure

00:54:17.460 that it's stable

00:54:18.200 let the Venezuelan

00:54:19.220 people do what

00:54:19.780 they need to do

00:54:20.300 to pick their leadership

00:54:21.560 and run their country

00:54:22.360 but we're going to

00:54:22.820 make sure it's stable

00:54:23.460 first

00:54:23.840 but remember

00:54:24.660 they nationalized

00:54:25.680 the oil fields

00:54:28.160 and their oil industry

00:54:29.160 and took a lot

00:54:30.340 of the investments

00:54:30.840 that Americans put in there

00:54:31.900 10, 20, 30, 40 years ago

00:54:33.520 and that was a real issue

00:54:35.540 that we've got to now

00:54:36.520 unwind

00:54:37.140 and then make sure now

00:54:37.960 that oil isn't going

00:54:38.900 to our enemies

00:54:39.520 and isn't going to China

00:54:40.440 isn't going to Iran

00:54:41.380 isn't going to Russia

00:54:42.220 and rather is being able

00:54:43.360 to flow into

00:54:44.060 western hemisphere

00:54:44.860 and so I think

00:54:46.880 that's going to happen

00:54:47.520 I think people

00:54:48.160 I'm talking to

00:54:48.800 in the oil and gas space

00:54:49.800 are excited

00:54:50.380 that we can have

00:54:51.420 some oil supply

00:54:52.460 to help

00:54:52.920 you know

00:54:53.940 free up the market

00:54:54.660 I mean look

00:54:55.040 we can produce

00:54:55.580 massive amounts of oil here

00:54:56.820 but there's always limits

00:54:58.120 to what we can do

00:54:58.800 with our fracking

00:54:59.380 and so it's nice

00:54:59.980 to have multi-sources

00:55:00.860 and not be reliant

00:55:02.200 on any one area

00:55:02.960 so to add the Venezuela

00:55:04.060 supply back into the pipeline

00:55:05.560 so to speak

00:55:06.220 is viewed favorably

00:55:08.700 but also

00:55:09.900 you know

00:55:10.440 we need to make sure

00:55:11.020 that we don't have

00:55:11.640 you know

00:55:11.900 another situation

00:55:12.560 where we go invest in it

00:55:13.580 and then it gets

00:55:13.920 nationalized again

00:55:14.620 so the president's

00:55:15.500 doing the right thing

00:55:16.180 but we've got to do

00:55:16.720 a lot of work

00:55:17.180 to make sure

00:55:17.600 that we can rely on it

00:55:18.820 how concerned

00:55:20.260 are you congressman

00:55:20.960 about the next steps

00:55:23.280 in Venezuela

00:55:24.000 specifically pertaining

00:55:25.740 to the security

00:55:27.280 and you know

00:55:28.660 internal

00:55:29.360 well it's not a stable place

00:55:32.180 so stability might be

00:55:32.900 the wrong word

00:55:33.540 but keeping this place

00:55:35.280 from devolving

00:55:36.200 into a Hobbesian mess

00:55:38.980 what do you think

00:55:40.460 are the ways forward here

00:55:42.660 and how do you think

00:55:43.560 the administration

00:55:44.140 is going to be able

00:55:45.500 to handle some of these challenges

00:55:46.860 well first of all

00:55:48.740 Marco Rubio

00:55:49.280 has been doing

00:55:49.840 a fantastic job

00:55:50.840 as Secretary of State

00:55:51.700 in every situation

00:55:53.020 he's been put in

00:55:53.740 he's great this weekend

00:55:55.260 articulating why

00:55:56.080 this is critical

00:55:56.640 to our national security interest

00:55:57.980 the Trump doctrine

00:55:59.240 whatever you want to call it

00:56:00.200 with respect to focusing

00:56:01.120 on the western hemisphere

00:56:01.940 to push out our enemies

00:56:03.440 and to increase

00:56:04.240 the relationships

00:56:05.180 and the reliance

00:56:05.880 on other countries

00:56:06.540 in the western hemisphere

00:56:07.240 on America

00:56:07.880 and not our enemies

00:56:08.720 not China

00:56:09.240 not Russia

00:56:09.720 these are all things

00:56:10.980 that are critically important

00:56:11.860 I am concerned

00:56:13.000 about the next steps

00:56:13.900 those are very real concerns

00:56:15.360 they've got a lot of people

00:56:16.600 in the regime

00:56:17.060 are still in place

00:56:17.840 there's a lot of corruption

00:56:19.220 that still exists

00:56:20.060 moving one guy out of it

00:56:21.680 is a good step

00:56:22.740 but it's not going to be

00:56:23.560 the whole solution

00:56:24.200 we've got to work

00:56:25.260 to try to get Venezuela

00:56:26.100 back on its feet

00:56:26.940 get it back to where it was

00:56:28.020 economically two decades ago

00:56:29.500 but moving forward

00:56:30.900 with a stronger rule of law

00:56:32.040 and to have a better society

00:56:33.940 that is built

00:56:34.580 on our republican principles here

00:56:36.340 and so

00:56:36.700 I think we've got a lot of work

00:56:38.480 to do but we can do it

00:56:39.460 and it's worth it

00:56:40.480 this is not the nation building

00:56:41.920 of trying to go build

00:56:42.660 a country over in Iraq

00:56:43.640 you know

00:56:44.340 for 20 years

00:56:45.080 where you spend 7 trillion dollars

00:56:46.460 and lose 7,000 men and women

00:56:48.300 and 75,000 injuries

00:56:49.780 which what we're dealing with here

00:56:51.380 is in our western hemisphere

00:56:52.440 in our backyard

00:56:53.180 just south of Cuba

00:56:54.180 a country that is rich with minerals

00:56:56.960 that can be a benefit

00:56:58.100 to our entire civilization

00:56:59.120 over here

00:56:59.780 but that we need to stabilize

00:57:01.460 and I think the president

00:57:02.280 is doing the right thing

00:57:03.100 but it's going to take a lot of work

00:57:04.240 this is not easy

00:57:04.860 I'm not a big believer

00:57:06.160 in you know

00:57:06.980 regime change

00:57:07.620 and nation building

00:57:08.240 but what we're trying to do here

00:57:09.400 is create stability

00:57:10.500 with an important country

00:57:11.800 in the western hemisphere

00:57:12.620 that's important

00:57:13.800 to our national security interests

00:57:14.960 we're talking to Congressman Chip Roy

00:57:16.600 running for the attorney general

00:57:18.280 of the state of Texas

00:57:20.220 when you look at what's happened

00:57:22.400 Tim Walls

00:57:23.080 we just played a couple of cuts

00:57:24.240 from him

00:57:24.800 press conference availability

00:57:26.800 today

00:57:27.460 his political career

00:57:28.620 is effectively over

00:57:30.180 what does that tell us

00:57:32.000 about the dwindling power

00:57:34.020 of legacy media

00:57:35.240 when effectively

00:57:36.540 this is a 23 year old

00:57:38.060 on YouTube

00:57:38.940 who went and did

00:57:40.460 his own investigation

00:57:41.400 into fraud

00:57:42.140 in Minnesota

00:57:42.940 and I think effectively

00:57:44.760 ended Tim Walls' career

00:57:46.440 how does this change

00:57:47.580 the dynamics

00:57:48.300 of the political universe

00:57:50.160 and also the trajectory

00:57:51.680 of our country

00:57:52.320 well look

00:57:53.800 I think this is an important

00:57:54.860 moment

00:57:55.580 and I think we should

00:57:56.700 recognize that

00:57:58.080 and I've been talking

00:57:58.920 about this quite a bit

00:57:59.700 because

00:57:59.980 I mentioned a minute ago

00:58:01.360 right

00:58:01.560 I wasn't joking

00:58:02.400 when I said that

00:58:03.080 those are the listeners

00:58:04.040 out there

00:58:04.400 the people who focus

00:58:05.200 on this stuff

00:58:05.680 they can go do

00:58:06.680 some of this

00:58:07.080 investigation

00:58:07.520 investigative work

00:58:08.620 that helps us

00:58:09.560 with policy

00:58:10.200 because people

00:58:11.080 don't realize

00:58:11.600 that you know

00:58:11.960 in a congressional office

00:58:12.880 right

00:58:13.120 I mean I have

00:58:13.600 14 or 15 staff

00:58:15.100 half of them

00:58:15.600 are doing

00:58:15.840 constituent services

00:58:16.760 and you know

00:58:17.780 engagement with my

00:58:18.520 constituents

00:58:18.880 and you got a handful

00:58:19.900 of policy people

00:58:20.640 and you have to do

00:58:21.100 bills every day

00:58:21.760 and so it's hard

00:58:23.080 for us to go

00:58:23.560 to deep dive

00:58:24.540 investigative work

00:58:25.380 so when we've got

00:58:26.500 support from the outside

00:58:27.420 which should have

00:58:28.040 been the media

00:58:28.560 right

00:58:28.860 the media is supposed

00:58:29.600 to be seeking truth

00:58:30.640 wherever it may lead

00:58:31.540 right

00:58:31.740 to quote Thomas Jefferson

00:58:32.580 they haven't been

00:58:33.440 doing that

00:58:33.880 they've been an advocate

00:58:35.220 for radical Marxism

00:58:36.480 and leftism

00:58:37.000 and now you've got

00:58:37.820 people like Nick

00:58:38.920 who went out

00:58:39.400 and did the hard work

00:58:40.360 you know

00:58:41.580 on the ground

00:58:42.680 in Minneapolis

00:58:43.760 and Minnesota

00:58:44.660 and now hopefully

00:58:45.840 we're going to see

00:58:46.260 more of that

00:58:46.800 see that in California

00:58:47.720 and see that

00:58:48.160 in Texas right

00:58:49.140 I mean there's

00:58:49.660 fraud in Texas

00:58:50.340 and we've got to

00:58:51.280 root out

00:58:51.600 there's Medicaid

00:58:52.140 fraud division

00:58:52.700 in the AG's office

00:58:53.540 the Attorney General's office

00:58:54.520 that you know

00:58:55.360 I want to make sure

00:58:55.940 we're focusing on

00:58:56.620 rooting out all

00:58:57.180 the Medicaid fraud

00:58:57.920 but I know Texas

00:58:59.200 is better than California

00:59:00.220 and Minneapolis

00:59:00.780 or Minnesota

00:59:01.840 and New York

00:59:02.360 but we've got to

00:59:03.800 have that

00:59:04.180 we've got to have

00:59:04.800 people on the outside

00:59:05.660 that are helping us

00:59:06.480 again

00:59:07.320 the founders understood

00:59:08.720 the importance

00:59:09.280 of the freedom

00:59:09.700 of the press

00:59:10.240 the question is

00:59:11.180 who is the press

00:59:12.140 and right now

00:59:13.120 with technology

00:59:13.800 and with what

00:59:14.800 Elon did

00:59:15.920 with X

00:59:16.500 it's impressive

00:59:18.260 now what

00:59:18.940 you can allow

00:59:19.540 what a 23 year old

00:59:21.020 to your point

00:59:21.480 can do

00:59:21.980 to bring out truth

00:59:23.040 again this is all

00:59:23.660 about seek truth

00:59:24.400 wherever it may lead

00:59:25.180 that's the goal

00:59:26.020 do you think

00:59:28.140 that there will be

00:59:29.220 accountability

00:59:30.240 though

00:59:30.600 a lot of people

00:59:31.320 congressmen

00:59:32.220 become very disillusioned

00:59:34.040 with our system

00:59:34.800 when there's this

00:59:36.120 exposure

00:59:36.900 of something

00:59:37.900 like this

00:59:38.640 and then

00:59:39.660 we're wondering

00:59:40.680 well is anyone

00:59:41.740 actually going to

00:59:42.280 go to prison

00:59:42.640 over this

00:59:42.980 I mean I saw

00:59:43.580 I think there's a

00:59:44.600 U.S. attorney's office

00:59:45.540 in Atlanta Georgia

00:59:47.100 is bringing a

00:59:48.640 prosecution

00:59:49.120 against a state

00:59:49.820 rep there

00:59:50.300 for stealing

00:59:50.880 $15,000

00:59:52.180 something like that

00:59:53.140 in COVID funds

00:59:53.960 and they're bringing

00:59:54.740 that prosecution

00:59:55.720 under public integrity

00:59:56.800 and they're like

00:59:57.400 look you're a

00:59:57.980 you're a public

00:59:58.680 official

00:59:59.040 and you're stealing

00:59:59.600 money from the

01:00:00.160 state you live in

01:00:00.720 that's unacceptable

01:00:01.340 I see what's

01:00:02.400 going on in Somalia

01:00:03.180 I'm hearing that

01:00:03.820 people are

01:00:04.260 I'm sorry

01:00:04.840 with the Somalis

01:00:05.880 in Minnesota

01:00:06.440 and you hear that

01:00:07.900 people are taking

01:00:08.500 the GDP of Somalia

01:00:10.200 from that state

01:00:11.120 in fraud

01:00:11.680 is anyone going

01:00:12.900 to go to prison

01:00:13.440 yeah I mean you

01:00:14.900 make a good point

01:00:15.760 in fact I tweeted

01:00:16.760 that out early

01:00:17.760 I think it was the

01:00:18.460 first maybe to put

01:00:19.200 that out

01:00:19.540 that their GDP

01:00:20.420 is $13 billion

01:00:21.220 and we're talking

01:00:21.680 about $18 billion

01:00:22.480 of potential fraud

01:00:23.380 now that's the

01:00:23.820 potential number

01:00:24.520 that tweet got

01:00:25.820 35 million views

01:00:27.100 by the way

01:00:27.500 just to be clear

01:00:28.280 about how much

01:00:29.340 people are recognizing

01:00:30.260 this and I think

01:00:31.040 that's important

01:00:31.620 to your point

01:00:32.140 yes heads need

01:00:33.440 to roll

01:00:33.780 I am gratified

01:00:35.240 to see that

01:00:35.720 I think I saw

01:00:36.260 something like

01:00:36.740 a thousand

01:00:37.220 prosecutions

01:00:37.960 that were being

01:00:38.720 discussed

01:00:39.160 in the news reports

01:00:40.440 that I saw

01:00:40.780 this morning

01:00:41.200 or yesterday

01:00:41.680 you know look

01:00:43.000 this takes a little

01:00:43.480 bit of work

01:00:43.820 you got to prove

01:00:44.200 up a case

01:00:44.620 I'm a former

01:00:45.060 federal prosecutor

01:00:45.880 in the U.S.

01:00:46.320 attorney's office

01:00:46.840 and remember

01:00:47.780 typically our

01:00:49.220 federal laws

01:00:50.040 are not designed

01:00:51.520 for us to have

01:00:53.040 a federal police

01:00:53.940 force

01:00:54.260 and federal

01:00:54.940 prosecutorial

01:00:56.160 force going

01:00:57.160 into states

01:00:57.980 but where you've

01:00:58.540 got the abuse

01:00:59.360 of federal funds

01:01:00.380 where you've

01:01:01.280 got the nexus

01:01:01.940 to the fraud

01:01:02.600 of these federal

01:01:03.200 tax dollars flowing

01:01:04.120 and you have

01:01:04.440 public servants

01:01:05.140 who are engaging

01:01:06.240 in that kind

01:01:06.720 of behavior

01:01:07.120 there's absolutely

01:01:08.260 room for federal

01:01:09.080 prosecutions

01:01:09.780 we need to follow

01:01:10.680 the truth

01:01:11.060 wherever it may

01:01:11.540 lead on this

01:01:12.100 stuff

01:01:12.380 in terms of

01:01:13.300 including state

01:01:14.260 leaders and those

01:01:15.080 that are involved

01:01:15.660 in knowingly

01:01:17.060 and intentionally

01:01:17.680 violating our laws

01:01:18.640 and we've got

01:01:20.020 to dive into it

01:01:20.740 and you know

01:01:21.980 look people ask

01:01:22.920 me all the time

01:01:23.320 why isn't Judge

01:01:23.940 Boesberg being

01:01:24.600 impeached

01:01:25.000 well I agree

01:01:25.600 he should be

01:01:26.280 we should bring

01:01:27.000 it up

01:01:27.180 we should have

01:01:28.440 the vote

01:01:28.800 and if some

01:01:29.300 Republicans

01:01:29.660 won't vote for

01:01:30.340 it then they

01:01:30.660 got to go

01:01:30.920 answer to

01:01:31.320 their constituents

01:01:32.400 I think we

01:01:33.000 need to have

01:01:33.540 some votes

01:01:34.080 here on

01:01:35.160 judicial

01:01:35.580 impeachments

01:01:36.100 I think we

01:01:36.460 need to see

01:01:36.840 prosecutions

01:01:37.480 out of the

01:01:37.820 U.S.

01:01:38.060 Attorney's

01:01:38.400 offices

01:01:38.660 and I hope

01:01:39.640 we will

01:01:40.080 last question

01:01:42.300 for you

01:01:42.620 quickly here

01:01:43.260 as we go

01:01:43.560 to break

01:01:44.060 how much

01:01:45.240 difference

01:01:45.720 is Texas

01:01:46.640 with a

01:01:47.180 completely

01:01:47.540 secure

01:01:48.020 southern

01:01:48.380 border

01:01:48.740 and privately

01:01:49.840 do even

01:01:50.980 some Democrats

01:01:51.860 come up to

01:01:52.460 you and say

01:01:53.160 boy things

01:01:54.160 are so much

01:01:55.220 better here

01:01:55.940 with a

01:01:56.620 completely

01:01:56.980 secured

01:01:57.440 southern

01:01:57.760 border

01:01:58.060 yeah I

01:01:59.160 mean I

01:01:59.460 would call

01:02:00.020 a lot of

01:02:00.380 those folks

01:02:00.780 former

01:02:01.100 Democrats

01:02:01.560 frankly

01:02:01.940 people in

01:02:02.400 South Texas

01:02:02.900 who have

01:02:03.300 been looking

01:02:03.700 at this

01:02:04.000 going gosh

01:02:04.680 I mean that

01:02:05.080 was ridiculous

01:02:05.700 what we were

01:02:06.100 dealing with

01:02:06.580 the danger

01:02:07.380 the fentanyl

01:02:07.980 the cartels

01:02:08.740 the criminal

01:02:10.200 activity

01:02:10.760 the fact that

01:02:11.340 our hospitals

01:02:11.780 and jails

01:02:12.240 were all

01:02:12.560 filled up

01:02:12.960 now they

01:02:13.520 see what

01:02:13.800 can happen

01:02:14.140 when you

01:02:14.400 just simply

01:02:14.900 enforce the

01:02:15.360 law

01:02:15.540 but the

01:02:15.780 point that

01:02:16.080 I made

01:02:16.300 I literally

01:02:16.780 just made

01:02:17.200 it 15

01:02:17.640 minutes ago

01:02:18.120 sitting in

01:02:18.500 front of

01:02:18.660 my Republican

01:02:19.080 colleagues

01:02:19.560 in our

01:02:20.080 meeting

01:02:20.560 I said

01:02:21.360 remember that

01:02:21.840 the president

01:02:22.220 had basically

01:02:22.780 secured the

01:02:23.300 border in

01:02:23.620 2020

01:02:24.040 wasn't quite

01:02:24.620 as tight

01:02:24.940 as it is

01:02:25.240 now but

01:02:25.560 it was

01:02:25.700 pretty tight

01:02:26.180 and guess

01:02:27.200 what happened

01:02:27.640 it got

01:02:28.140 blown to

01:02:29.120 hell

01:02:30.520 of months

01:02:31.280 under

01:02:31.740 Biden

01:02:32.060 and

01:02:32.180 Mayorkas

01:02:32.660 we

01:02:33.260 Congress

01:02:33.780 must

01:02:34.200 codify

01:02:34.820 the

01:02:35.060 president's

01:02:35.560 agenda

01:02:35.860 the

01:02:36.060 president's

01:02:36.880 actions

01:02:38.760 that he's

01:02:39.200 taken as

01:02:39.880 president

01:02:40.480 on the

01:02:40.760 border

01:02:40.980 and pass

01:02:41.720 what we

01:02:42.000 passed

01:02:42.240 last

01:02:42.520 Congress

01:02:42.840 remember

01:02:43.040 we

01:02:43.200 passed

01:02:43.440 HR2

01:02:44.020 that

01:02:44.580 strong

01:02:44.940 border

01:02:45.160 security

01:02:45.480 bill

01:02:45.740 we have

01:02:46.300 not

01:02:46.460 passed

01:02:46.720 that

01:02:46.860 again

01:02:47.100 we need

01:02:48.240 it

01:02:48.400 send it

01:02:49.080 we need

01:02:49.480 force

01:02:49.660 them

01:02:49.800 to

01:02:49.920 act

01:02:50.180 if

01:02:50.580 we

01:02:50.680 don't

01:02:50.860 codify

01:02:51.280 this

01:02:51.520 stuff

01:02:51.820 then

01:02:52.340 next

01:02:52.540 Democrat

01:02:52.860 president
