00:00:34.100 And it's how we get through the show
00:00:35.480 because it keeps us fired up and ready to go.
00:00:38.960 We have now a lot of stress being put on us from the media
00:00:46.980 about, oh my gosh, the tariffs and what's going on here.
00:00:49.560 First of all, here's a reminder from our buddy Stephen Miller,
00:00:53.700 who's the Deputy White House Chief of Staff,
00:00:55.960 that what's going on right now is not a typical presidency.
00:00:59.980 It is fixing and setting right big parts of what this country,
00:01:05.720 America, is all about, not just for this week or this month,
00:01:09.540 but for future years and even generations to come.
00:01:13.200 Play nine.
00:01:13.800 This is the great healing and rejuvenation of the American economy
00:01:18.500 after half a century of rampant offshoring, outsourcing,
00:01:22.880 and deindustrialization.
00:01:24.560 There was once a time in which Motor City in Michigan,
00:01:28.540 Detroit automakers powered the entire globe.
00:01:31.380 There was once a time when you could drive through Pennsylvania
00:01:33.580 and all you would see were humming steel mills,
00:01:36.540 humming coal plants, manufacturing facilities,
00:01:39.660 again, that were supplying the entire world,
00:01:42.160 supplying Americans and all of planet Earth.
00:01:44.740 Foreign countries, countries like China,
00:01:47.160 Canada, Mexico, Cambodia,
00:01:48.760 Vietnam, and the European Union took advantage of our country and our leaders.
00:01:54.620 So we know that the tariffs are a major focus with the economy right now
00:01:59.920 from the Trump administration,
00:02:01.960 and there's going to be, here you go,
00:02:05.360 Trump's Liberation Day tariffs will go into effect immediately,
00:02:09.860 according to the White House just eight minutes ago, Clay.
00:02:12.600 President Donald Trump's promised tariffs are a day away,
00:02:15.460 and they'll go into effect sooner than some had expected,
00:02:18.600 as in immediately, according to the White House.
00:02:21.500 Liberation Day trade policy announcement is expected to be
00:02:23.960 the most aggressive tariff move yet by President Trump,
00:02:28.360 and he has vowed to slap tariffs on U.S. imports
00:02:31.700 for a whole range of different solutions.
00:02:36.040 Now, Clay, they're saying this is going to be costly.
00:02:38.840 They're saying this is going to create a lot of economic dislocation.
00:02:42.260 And to be fair, even here's Senator Tuberville,
00:02:45.300 who is a big Trump guy, big Trump supporter.
00:02:49.560 We've had him on the show many times,
00:02:51.620 and he is the one to whom I'm supposed to say war eagle.
00:02:56.220 That is correct.
00:02:57.100 And by the way,
00:02:57.900 probably celebrating over the weekend
00:03:00.440 as the Auburn Tigers rolled into the Final Four
00:03:03.560 for their second time ever,
00:03:04.920 playing against your wife's alma mater,
00:03:07.360 the Florida Gators, on Saturday.
00:03:08.900 Big game.
00:03:09.340 My beloved Florida Gators,
00:03:11.420 because they are my wife's beloved.
00:03:12.920 So whatever the Florida Gators,
00:03:14.420 whatever I can do for them, I love doing.
00:03:16.900 But here we go.
00:03:17.840 Here's Senator Tuberville on the tariff situation.
00:03:21.140 You say, look, it's not going to be without a little bit of,
00:03:24.360 a little bit of pain before we get to the gain.
00:03:27.380 Play it.
00:03:27.920 This is one thing that President Trump has got to sell,
00:03:30.500 but it's also going to work,
00:03:31.960 but it's going to be a slow pain first before we get the gain.
00:03:35.360 We have to get jobs back in this country.
00:03:37.980 We have to get manufacturing to come back.
00:03:39.800 We can't control that as a Senate.
00:03:41.600 The one thing that we can control, as you said,
00:03:43.700 we can control the tax cuts.
00:03:45.660 We have to get those done,
00:03:47.020 and we have to get it done this week.
00:03:48.640 We'll let President Trump do the tariffs.
00:03:50.320 We do the tax cuts.
00:03:51.580 Get the debt limit put in with this reconciliation.
00:03:54.620 Fund the border wall.
00:03:55.860 Fund all the immigration processes going on.
00:03:58.700 We have to get back to business up here.
00:04:00.760 We've been dragging our feet,
00:04:01.920 but I think with the tariffs this week
00:04:03.800 and also the budget reconciliation
00:04:05.560 that we'll do for the tax cuts,
00:04:07.420 I think it's all going to come together.
00:04:09.540 So, Clay, I think at some level,
00:04:11.400 what we're seeing here is Trump is right on the,
00:04:13.820 has been and continues to be right on the immigration issue,
00:04:17.060 has proven the case.
00:04:18.560 The numbers speak for themselves.
00:04:20.200 The border is the most secure.
00:04:21.660 It has been in truly decades.
00:04:23.800 A lot of interior enforcement still has to happen.
00:04:25.740 We can get into some of those numbers.
00:04:28.040 DHS, Kristi Noem, talking about that.
00:04:30.280 We can get into that in a little bit.
00:04:31.920 But on the economic side of things,
00:04:33.740 what Doge is doing is important,
00:04:35.740 but the tariff issue might even have more short-term political impact.
00:04:42.720 If things get rough between now and really next summer,
00:04:47.640 all right, or not this coming summer,
00:04:49.460 it would be the following summer before the midterms, right?
00:04:52.580 So really you've got 15 months or so.
00:04:55.760 If this starts to look like it's blowing up in Trump's face,
00:04:58.740 even if the media is able to make that case,
00:05:00.640 and that's not a fair assessment of it,
00:05:02.560 the problem here is what happens if the midterms go against the Republicans
00:05:06.000 because of the tariffs?
00:05:07.540 It slows the whole agenda down.
00:05:08.880 So it feels like it's a gamble,
00:05:10.860 but it's one that Trump is all in on.
00:05:12.740 Yeah, and I don't know about you,
00:05:14.720 but economic geniuses have gotten so much wrong.
00:05:21.460 My trust level in experts is at an all-time low personally
00:05:27.220 because everything they have told us for the past several years,
00:05:31.860 it feels like the experts are batting zero
00:05:35.020 on pretty much every major issue that has occurred.
00:05:38.960 Now, until tomorrow, we won't know exactly what Trump has planned,
00:05:44.840 but I do think it's significant that Israel just announced
00:05:51.100 that they were ending all tariffs on American goods in the last few hours.
00:05:56.300 What is your – let me ask you this
00:05:57.920 because I think we've talked about this a little bit, but I haven't –
00:06:01.340 I ask this question, I ask this honestly.
00:06:03.560 If tariffs are so self-evidently self-defeating,
00:06:09.720 why do so many countries have tariffs against the United States
00:06:15.080 on different issues?
00:06:16.140 Why does Canada have a 200% dairy tariff for U.S. dairy imports 1.00
00:06:21.620 if it's so stupid and it does nothing good for them? 0.99
00:06:24.820 And that's just one of hundreds that we could talk about here. 1.00
00:06:27.920 Never mind China and the policies that they have vis-a-vis the rest of the world.
00:06:31.640 I think where Trump is right is we have a lot less to lose on tariffs
00:06:36.720 than other countries do.
00:06:38.580 And what I mean by that is this is what happens
00:06:41.460 when you are a net importer of goods,
00:06:44.200 when we have the massive trade deficit that we do.
00:06:47.360 Now, the arguments out there, for those of you that are paying attention,
00:06:52.200 the economic gurus of the world who are opposed to tariffs would say,
00:06:59.060 well, yes, the United States is a net importer of goods.
00:07:03.440 That is, we spend more money than we make off of our products.
00:07:08.380 But the result is that our products that we purchase are incredibly affordable.
00:07:14.100 And I would just use as an example, Buck, I'm sure you remember this back in the day.
00:07:19.320 One of the most expensive things I bought when Laura and I first got married
00:07:23.520 was a flat screen television.
00:07:25.320 Do you remember when flat screen televisions were like $5,000, $6,000?
00:07:29.960 They were really expensive.
00:07:31.160 I remember pooling money with my college roommates to get for our common room.
00:07:36.160 Yes.
00:07:36.620 Because we all lived in the shared housing to get for our common room.
00:07:40.960 And we carried it.
00:07:41.880 It was like when they find the Ark of the Covenant in Raiders of the Lost Ark.
00:07:45.980 We carried that thing with reverence up the stairs.
00:07:49.060 Yes, that flat screen television.
00:07:50.740 Many of you out there are going to remember when you were able to first buy one.
00:07:56.020 Speaking of Costco, which your wife Carrie loves,
00:07:59.020 and one of the few places I go in.
00:08:00.860 We're working on the wokeness over there.
00:08:02.800 One of the few places that I actually walk into,
00:08:05.400 you can get a 70-inch flat screen television for like $700 now.
00:08:10.780 Now, these things are manufactured almost entirely outside the United States.
00:08:15.220 The reason why I use flat screen television as an example is
00:08:17.960 that is something where you would say the average American consumer
00:08:22.460 is getting a really good deal because flat screen televisions
00:08:25.960 can be made more affordably elsewhere.
00:08:28.540 I mean, almost everybody, I'm holding mine up for video,
00:08:31.460 almost everybody has an iPhone now.
00:08:33.620 iPhones are almost exclusively manufactured in China and the Philippines, I think, now.
00:08:39.160 Now, they're starting.
00:08:40.060 Apple has said we're going to invest more money in them.
00:08:42.600 But the reason why Apple has the profit margins it does
00:08:45.600 is because of the manufacture there.
00:08:48.660 Sneakers, all sorts of products, okay?
00:08:50.920 Yeah, they used to make them all at Foxconn,
00:08:52.560 where they had to put up nets to prevent people from jumping out and committing suicide
00:08:55.740 because of the hours they were working.
00:08:57.180 So, rough stuff.
00:08:57.980 Well, this is also why I got so fired up over the Nike product,
00:09:04.980 you know, the NBA player saying,
00:09:06.700 oh, America's an awful place,
00:09:09.360 and our people are being taken advantage of.
00:09:12.640 And then they never mention that their tennis shoes are being made,
00:09:15.460 basically, oftentimes for slave labor overseas,
00:09:18.140 and they make hundreds of millions of dollars off of those deals.
00:09:22.120 The most ridiculous of them actually had deals with Chinese sneaker companies, Buck,
00:09:27.720 that bragged about the fact that they used slave labor in Xinjiang province, 0.88
00:09:32.960 cotton produced there.
00:09:34.980 So, the modern-day NBA star athlete with a Chinese sneaker deal,
00:09:39.240 and there were many of them,
00:09:40.640 was actually making money off slave labor.
00:09:43.240 And meanwhile, they're lecturing all of us about how America is an awful country
00:09:47.140 and taking these during the National Anthem. 0.94
00:09:49.260 The hypocrisy was too much.
00:09:50.580 So, the argument is, okay, yes, we are net, our money is leaving the country,
00:09:56.360 but we're getting better value than we would if that was produced here.
00:09:59.440 I don't know that that is 100% true.
00:10:04.400 In other words, what would it look like?
00:10:06.200 I've made this argument for a long time.
00:10:07.840 LeBron James.
00:10:08.920 What if LeBron James had said,
00:10:10.400 hey, I'm asking all these people to pay $200 for sneakers?
00:10:13.600 What if he had gone to Nike and said,
00:10:16.060 I want my sneakers produced in Akron, Ohio,
00:10:19.480 an industrial Midwest city that is struggling,
00:10:22.820 and I understand the profit margins will be lower,
00:10:26.200 but we'll be able to employ a lot of Americans to make my shoes.
00:10:30.600 That would have actually been a really interesting argument.
00:10:33.100 Of course, LeBron's never going to say it,
00:10:34.600 because all he cares about the money that he's making,
00:10:36.560 not about the larger society.
00:10:38.000 But my point on this is some guys that have the economic power to relocate,
00:10:44.580 to resource actual goods here and create American jobs that are high paying,
00:10:49.140 that people who otherwise wouldn't get them deserve them.
00:10:52.640 This is the argument that Trump's making.
00:10:54.620 He basically is doing the anti-LeBron.
00:10:56.740 He's saying we should be making goods that Americans buy here,
00:11:00.320 and we're going to level the playing field to help make that happen.
00:11:03.240 This is one of the areas where Trump is going the most against the consensus,
00:11:09.460 even on the Republican side.
00:11:12.720 Longstanding Republican institutions, think tanks, GOP apparatus, you name it,
00:11:19.540 free trade has been almost a religious mantra on the right
00:11:24.660 for as long as you and I have been alive,
00:11:26.300 and really going back to Milton Friedman,
00:11:28.360 and free trade has been a thing that you just say,
00:11:32.740 and everyone has to assume it's the best possible way.
00:11:37.560 Now, theoretically, I can see why,
00:11:39.880 and when I hear the arguments about this, I go,
00:11:41.600 yeah, of course, it seems like everybody benefits, you know,
00:11:45.500 when you have a free trade system.
00:11:48.200 The challenge, though, is we don't have free trade globally.
00:11:50.300 That's right.
00:11:51.540 And this is when Trump came in with China on the first term.
00:11:54.380 They said he's going to start a trade war,
00:11:55.720 and the people who really knew what was going on,
00:11:58.140 specifically with China, said,
00:11:59.400 we're already in a trade war with China.
00:12:01.240 We're just not doing anything.
00:12:02.540 And Biden didn't change anything.
00:12:04.520 But that's exactly the point, that he won on that one, right?
00:12:07.680 Yes.
00:12:07.780 That he went against the consensus,
00:12:09.080 so much so that even Biden's like,
00:12:10.560 look, I'm not going to mess with this stuff.
00:12:12.700 So is this another one of those moments?
00:12:14.740 And I bring this to the,
00:12:17.200 it's really, to me,
00:12:18.020 it's more almost a question of logic or common sense.
00:12:20.840 If this is so bad and self-defeating,
00:12:23.000 which you are hearing,
00:12:23.720 not just from Democrats who hate Trump,
00:12:25.360 forget about them, we don't care.
00:12:26.380 They don't know anything about the economy.
00:12:27.580 They want to ruin Western civilization.
00:12:29.680 A lot of Republicans are saying,
00:12:31.240 ah, I don't know about this.
00:12:32.440 Ah, it's going to be rough for the markets.
00:12:33.660 They're telling you to kind of brace for impact.
00:12:35.220 Okay.
00:12:36.180 But if there aren't any benefits to this,
00:12:37.840 why do other countries do them?
00:12:39.360 Same way that I, Clay,
00:12:40.240 I always knew that they're lying,
00:12:41.260 the media was lying to us about illegal immigration
00:12:43.000 because you could never get somebody in the media
00:12:45.340 to admit that illegal immigration had a downside.
00:12:48.880 Well, if it has no downside,
00:12:50.160 why do we want to stop it, right?
00:12:51.200 Yes.
00:12:51.520 It makes no sense.
00:12:52.340 Same thing I feel like with tariffs.
00:12:53.460 If tariffs are only downside,
00:12:55.640 why are other people doing it?
00:12:56.900 I mean, other countries doing it for decades
00:12:58.980 and very aggressive about it.
00:13:00.620 So I think it's about things that you want
00:13:04.020 and things that you can get.
00:13:05.440 And there's a negotiation to be had here.
00:13:08.060 I also think,
00:13:09.180 and we'll know more tomorrow afternoon,
00:13:11.240 four o'clock Eastern,
00:13:12.280 this is scheduled.
00:13:13.620 Markets really hate uncertainty.
00:13:15.940 Whatever you think
00:13:17.320 of any particular economic decision,
00:13:20.520 as soon as business can understand
00:13:23.540 what the cost structure is going to be
00:13:25.540 and adjust accordingly,
00:13:27.240 oftentimes we see the markets adjust.
00:13:31.580 And to me, Buck,
00:13:32.940 part of the biggest challenge here in general
00:13:35.200 has been,
00:13:36.420 we don't really know what the implementation
00:13:38.380 of these policies going to look like.
00:13:40.100 Come tomorrow afternoon,
00:13:41.560 in theory,
00:13:42.160 we will have an idea of exactly
00:13:43.820 what Trump trade policy looks like.
00:13:45.660 And if you watch the stock market
00:13:47.620 on a regular basis,
00:13:49.380 typically when the stock market moves
00:13:51.200 is when something hasn't been priced.
00:13:54.040 There is a surprise.
00:13:55.680 There is an uncertainty.
00:13:57.420 There is an expectation that is upset
00:13:59.420 relative to the existing marketplace.
00:14:01.800 I would say in general,
00:14:03.460 this is what I've said for a long time,
00:14:05.220 buy S&P 500 index funds.
00:14:07.500 Don't overreact to any day-to-day
00:14:10.020 market manipulation or movement.
00:14:12.020 And if you believe that the future of America
00:14:14.940 is bright,
00:14:15.780 and I do,
00:14:16.780 every 10 years or so,
00:14:18.140 your index fund should double.
00:14:19.900 And most of the time,
00:14:21.240 people get in trouble
00:14:22.220 when they respond emotionally
00:14:24.020 to stock market prices.
00:14:25.280 You look at prices going down,
00:14:26.780 people sell.
00:14:27.940 You look at prices going up,
00:14:29.420 people think they're always going to go up.
00:14:31.640 Most people are emotional,
00:14:33.680 not as much rational,
00:14:35.140 which is why the best thing to do
00:14:36.940 with your 401ks
00:14:38.020 is not pay that much attention to it
00:14:40.140 on a day-to-day basis.
00:14:41.080 I get that it's hard,
00:14:42.560 but that is my best advice.
00:14:45.760 And tomorrow at 4 o'clock,
00:14:47.500 I'm sure we'll be talking about this
00:14:49.040 on Thursday's show.
00:14:50.720 Hey, what do we expect
00:14:52.120 the actual impact is going to be,
00:14:53.620 and what will the stock market do?
00:14:55.340 We'll get that first kind of read
00:14:57.660 on that Thursday.
00:14:58.820 When you switch your cell phone service
00:15:00.500 to Pure Talk from AT&T, Verizon,
00:15:02.600 or T-Mobile, get this,
00:15:04.220 you'll save 50 bucks or more every month.
00:15:07.020 That's one sure way to save money
00:15:08.960 without sacrificing any quality.
00:15:10.560 In fact, you'll get better customer service
00:15:12.140 than you've ever experienced before.
00:15:14.240 Pure Talk only charges $25 a month
00:15:16.320 for unlimited talk text
00:15:17.380 and five gigs of data
00:15:18.920 on America's most dependable 5G network.
00:15:21.580 When you put the entire family
00:15:23.240 on a Pure Talk plan,
00:15:24.340 the savings grow.
00:15:25.760 The average-sized family of four
00:15:27.220 saves more than $1,000 a year
00:15:30.420 when they switch to Pure Talk.
00:15:32.200 And with Pure Talk's
00:15:32.860 U.S. customer service team,
00:15:34.120 you can switch hassle-free
00:15:35.620 in as little as 10 minutes.
00:15:36.680 You can keep your phone
00:15:37.920 and your number if you like.
00:15:39.560 Using your cell phone,
00:15:40.540 dial pound 250.
00:15:42.120 That's pound 250.
00:15:44.120 And say the keywords
00:15:45.040 Clay and Buck
00:15:45.740 to make the switch.
00:15:46.640 You'll save an additional 50%
00:15:48.000 off your first month.
00:15:49.460 Again, dial pound 250.
00:15:51.880 Say Clay and Buck

00:16:48.740 I'm down in Miami

00:16:51.400 from his studio
00:16:52.540 up in the northern part
00:16:55.040 of Florida.
00:16:55.800 Florida won.
00:16:56.700 In the Panhandle.

00:16:59.740 and St. Augustine area.
00:17:01.520 Florida 6.
00:17:02.560 Jimmy Petronas
00:17:04.020 joins us now.
00:17:05.440 The next congressman,
00:17:06.560 if you guys keep showing up
00:17:07.580 and voting like you are,
00:17:08.900 in the Florida 1st District.
00:17:11.240 Jimmy,
00:17:11.620 good to talk with you.
00:17:12.920 Appreciate you coming on.
00:17:14.260 What can you tell us
00:17:15.160 about what you're seeing
00:17:16.080 in Florida 1?
00:17:17.260 And if people are listening,
00:17:19.080 both in your district
00:17:20.200 and in the 6th District
00:17:22.200 to Florida,
00:17:23.320 what is the importance
00:17:24.220 of getting out
00:17:24.900 and voting here?
00:17:26.520 Yeah, so we're,
00:17:27.800 I'd say it's a beautiful day
00:17:29.080 for getting out to vote.
00:17:30.400 So there's no weather
00:17:31.180 that's going to slow
00:17:31.900 anybody down.
00:17:33.440 It's 77 degrees
00:17:35.720 here in the Panhandle.
00:17:36.780 So, so grateful
00:17:38.320 for everybody
00:17:38.860 that has showed up
00:17:39.880 and voted early.
00:17:41.300 But today's the last day
00:17:42.740 to let your vote count.
00:17:44.780 And the Republicans
00:17:46.000 have been out
00:17:46.660 tracking the Democrats.
00:17:49.000 So we feel good,
00:17:50.660 but you can't take
00:17:51.600 anything for granted.
00:17:52.560 I tell people all the time,
00:17:53.720 if you don't hold
00:17:54.540 your electives accountable,
00:17:55.640 you get the government
00:17:56.440 you deserve.
00:17:57.280 And, you know,
00:17:58.480 just really,
00:17:59.020 it's an honor
00:17:59.600 to be on the air
00:18:00.260 with y'all.
00:18:01.340 Hey, Jimmy,
00:18:01.760 we appreciate you
00:18:02.660 and we hope you run
00:18:04.180 with the scoreboard
00:18:04.940 in a big way.
00:18:06.540 Who are they even,
00:18:07.440 who are they even
00:18:08.400 running against you there?
00:18:09.560 I mean, you know,
00:18:10.000 I know we all feel
00:18:10.660 pretty good about it.
00:18:11.440 Clay consistently refers
00:18:13.680 to the Panhandle
00:18:14.520 as God's country,
00:18:15.480 although he doesn't want
00:18:16.340 more people buying
00:18:17.380 beachfront
00:18:19.180 on the Gulf of America.
00:18:20.260 There's not any left,
00:18:21.280 Buck.
00:18:21.400 He says it's getting
00:18:22.260 very crowded.
00:18:23.560 But who are they
00:18:24.480 running against you
00:18:25.300 in God's country,
00:18:26.140 so to speak?
00:18:26.800 What do we need to know
00:18:27.520 about this Democrat
00:18:28.360 that they're throwing
00:18:29.120 into the mix?
00:18:31.360 Yeah, so
00:18:32.060 the same woman
00:18:33.300 who ran against
00:18:34.080 Matt Gaetz
00:18:34.760 last time in November,
00:18:36.380 her name's Gabe Alamont.
00:18:38.060 And, look,
00:18:39.220 I'm sure she's
00:18:41.340 a fine person,
00:18:42.160 but her policies 1.00
00:18:43.500 are flawed.
00:18:44.620 You know,
00:18:45.500 what she is advocating for,
00:18:47.840 she's trying to run 0.96
00:18:48.880 as a moderate.
00:18:50.240 And, look,
00:18:51.180 she's got $7 million.
00:18:53.140 And I'm looking forward
00:18:54.180 to tonight at about 7.30,
00:18:55.920 you know,
00:18:56.120 looking into the camera
00:18:57.220 and acknowledging
00:18:58.500 that there's
00:18:59.320 about $7 million
00:19:00.520 reasons why
00:19:01.600 their effort
00:19:03.420 is not the right
00:19:05.000 message for
00:19:05.620 Northwest Florida.
00:19:07.200 The amount of money
00:19:08.000 that we've been outspent,
00:19:09.040 probably five to one.
00:19:10.720 But the Democrats
00:19:11.740 are seeing
00:19:12.440 six and one
00:19:14.640 as a way
00:19:15.440 to flip
00:19:16.740 the balance
00:19:18.460 of power
00:19:18.860 in Congress
00:19:19.380 and try to do
00:19:19.880 a referendum
00:19:20.360 on Trump.
00:19:21.360 But, you know,
00:19:21.720 the people in
00:19:22.380 these two districts
00:19:23.200 are just too educated.
00:19:24.200 For people
00:19:25.420 who don't know,
00:19:26.620 what is
00:19:27.920 Florida 1?
00:19:29.000 Where is it located?
00:19:30.220 I just want to make sure
00:19:31.040 because there's lots
00:19:31.660 of people driving around.
00:19:32.820 You know as well
00:19:33.500 as anybody,
00:19:34.180 people get fired up
00:19:35.100 for November elections,
00:19:36.220 but a lot of times
00:19:37.040 these special elections,
00:19:38.080 we've been talking
00:19:38.600 about the two in Florida,
00:19:40.340 the one in Wisconsin
00:19:41.380 that's going today,
00:19:42.220 they can slip
00:19:42.920 under the radar.
00:19:44.540 Where right now
00:19:45.580 in Florida 1
00:19:46.680 can people go vote
00:19:47.820 for you?
00:19:48.280 Sometimes,
00:19:48.780 you know this,
00:19:49.500 people don't even know
00:19:50.660 exactly what
00:19:51.360 congressional district
00:19:52.540 they're in.
00:19:53.240 I'll put myself
00:19:54.440 on blast here.
00:19:55.420 When they redid,
00:19:56.640 they redrew the lines
00:19:57.860 in Tennessee
00:19:58.740 where I live.
00:20:00.140 The difference
00:20:01.080 between one congressman
00:20:02.320 and another
00:20:02.760 came into my neighborhood.
00:20:04.280 One street's represented
00:20:05.300 by one congressman,
00:20:06.420 the other is another one.
00:20:07.880 I didn't know.
00:20:08.740 I didn't know
00:20:09.500 who was my congressman
00:20:10.680 until I actually went in
00:20:12.020 and had the opportunity
00:20:13.480 to vote.
00:20:14.020 So, just for people
00:20:15.500 who may not know,
00:20:17.040 where in Florida 1
00:20:18.240 can people go vote today?
00:20:19.500 Where do they need
00:20:19.960 to show up?
00:20:21.320 Yeah, so Florida 1
00:20:22.560 goes from Pensacola
00:20:24.640 and the Alabama state line
00:20:26.380 over between
00:20:27.220 Pensacola and Mobile
00:20:27.980 and it goes all the way
00:20:29.580 to the edge
00:20:30.220 of Panama City.
00:20:31.620 So, it stops
00:20:32.200 at Highway 331.
00:20:33.720 So, that's
00:20:34.160 Ascambia, Santa Rosa,
00:20:36.060 Okaloosa,
00:20:36.940 and parts of
00:20:37.760 Walton County.
00:20:39.240 You can go to
00:20:40.180 joinjimmy.com
00:20:41.260 at the top of the page.
00:20:42.640 There's a link.
00:20:43.540 You tap it
00:20:44.180 and it says
00:20:44.860 where do I vote?
00:20:45.700 Where's my precinct?
00:20:46.820 And then we will go through
00:20:47.980 and direct you
00:20:48.680 to where you can vote.
00:20:50.280 So, it's, again,
00:20:51.920 today's the day
00:20:52.920 that you would actually
00:20:53.980 go to your regular precinct
00:20:55.780 that you would vote on
00:20:57.160 in a November election
00:20:58.340 and you were spot on.
00:20:59.960 People are,
00:21:00.880 everything's got
00:21:01.620 seasons to it
00:21:02.640 and the seasons
00:21:03.680 for elections
00:21:04.400 are in November.
00:21:05.320 People know to vote
00:21:06.240 in November.
00:21:06.880 They don't know
00:21:07.320 to vote in April.
00:21:08.340 Oh, by the way,
00:21:09.140 it's April Fool's Day.
00:21:10.700 Yeah, no kidding.
00:21:11.560 And Trump won
00:21:12.260 your district
00:21:13.060 I think by 37
00:21:14.480 or 38 points.
00:21:15.980 So, that sounds good,
00:21:17.280 by the way,
00:21:17.660 people honking
00:21:18.200 in the background.
00:21:19.440 If you're listening
00:21:20.160 to Clay and Buck...
00:21:20.960 We just passed
00:21:21.140 by one of the preceps.
00:21:23.400 That's a good problem.
00:21:24.340 If you're listening
00:21:24.780 to Clay and Buck
00:21:25.540 in Florida one right now
00:21:26.820 and you see the congressman
00:21:27.880 driving by,
00:21:28.460 the next congressman,
00:21:29.260 you can honk at him
00:21:29.940 and let us know
00:21:30.640 that you got his back.
00:21:32.120 But this is a
00:21:33.280 dyed, rocked,
00:21:34.560 ribbed Trump district.
00:21:36.580 But it's important
00:21:37.520 for everybody to get out.
00:21:38.660 Don't just rely
00:21:39.580 on the fact.
00:21:40.400 Again, it's April Fool's.
00:21:41.580 A lot of people
00:21:41.960 may not be aware
00:21:42.820 that this is going on.
00:21:44.600 Yeah, and again,
00:21:46.040 with the amount of money
00:21:47.100 that they've spent
00:21:48.020 running as a moderate,
00:21:50.200 destroying and trying
00:21:51.780 to trash my reputation,
00:21:53.520 I was born and raised
00:21:54.640 in the central time zone.
00:21:55.800 I've been part
00:21:56.760 of this community
00:21:57.760 the whole time.
00:21:58.200 Matter of fact,
00:21:58.820 Clay, I think you and I
00:22:00.440 shared the same studio
00:22:01.520 at one time.
00:22:02.220 I used to be on the radio
00:22:03.780 there in Panama City
00:22:05.140 for a while
00:22:05.840 and I think y'all
00:22:06.540 used to come in
00:22:07.140 and do the show.
00:22:08.140 Jimmy, that's a story
00:22:09.460 I've shared with Buck
00:22:10.440 when I did early morning
00:22:11.940 sports talk radio
00:22:13.000 in that Panama City studio.
00:22:14.400 Love the guys there.
00:22:16.080 But I was on at 5 a.m. there
00:22:18.180 and sometimes,
00:22:19.880 this won't shock you,
00:22:20.840 there weren't people there
00:22:21.820 to let me in the building.
00:22:23.000 So I have started
00:22:23.960 my show before
00:22:25.020 from the parking lot
00:22:26.360 of that Panama City,
00:22:27.380 Florida studio.
00:22:28.220 It's a great signal.
00:22:29.800 We love all of you
00:22:30.880 down on the Gulf Coast
00:22:31.920 that are listening right now.
00:22:33.520 But it's not far
00:22:35.180 to the Eastern time zone
00:22:36.420 and so sometimes
00:22:37.300 people would get
00:22:38.120 all crossed up
00:22:39.060 as to what time
00:22:39.940 things started.
00:22:41.700 And yeah,
00:22:42.020 my boy DJ K-Dub
00:22:43.580 who was in charge
00:22:44.920 of letting me in
00:22:45.680 back in the day,
00:22:46.380 Buck,
00:22:46.720 was sometimes late.
00:22:47.880 But yeah, Jimmy,
00:22:48.280 that's a fabulous station.
00:22:50.340 I know there's a lot
00:22:50.860 of people listening
00:22:51.440 to us right now
00:22:52.500 as you're driving there
00:22:53.800 on Highway 98
00:22:54.880 headed, I think,
00:22:55.980 to Pensacola.
00:22:57.460 Yep, yep.
00:22:58.220 And I tell you,
00:22:58.880 it's just,
00:22:59.420 radio is so amazing.
00:23:01.460 It's intimate.
00:23:02.900 You know,
00:23:03.240 people get,
00:23:03.880 they become your family.
00:23:05.200 You know,
00:23:05.600 and that's what I love
00:23:06.400 about what y'all are doing.
00:23:07.420 I mean,
00:23:07.800 you're connecting
00:23:08.700 with folks
00:23:09.560 and they really,
00:23:11.520 they feel like
00:23:12.060 they know you
00:23:12.780 and know everything
00:23:13.440 about you
00:23:14.000 because they spend
00:23:15.000 so much time
00:23:15.920 and you build
00:23:16.680 their day out.
00:23:17.540 So I mean,
00:23:17.900 this is such
00:23:19.540 an amazing way
00:23:20.440 to get news out,
00:23:21.660 to communicate
00:23:22.200 and to make people
00:23:23.520 informed.
00:23:24.700 Totally,
00:23:25.340 totally right,
00:23:26.220 Jimmy.
00:23:26.720 And we're talking
00:23:27.140 to Jimmy Petronis.
00:23:27.860 He's running
00:23:28.240 for that important
00:23:29.600 congressional seat,
00:23:30.540 the first in Florida,
00:23:32.380 a beautiful part
00:23:33.240 of the country
00:23:33.740 up in the panhandle.
00:23:35.160 We've got that.
00:23:35.540 We've also got
00:23:35.940 the sixth congressional seat
00:23:37.620 formerly held
00:23:38.340 by Michael Waltz.
00:23:39.700 It is in the mix
00:23:40.580 with Randy Fine today.
00:23:42.060 Make sure we have
00:23:42.880 a huge Florida audience.
00:23:44.600 Make sure,
00:23:45.320 for those of you
00:23:45.840 who live in those districts,
00:23:46.720 you get out and vote.
00:23:48.040 Gotta run up
00:23:48.980 the scoreboard high
00:23:50.200 because otherwise
00:23:50.840 you're going to be reading
00:23:51.540 in the New York Times
00:23:52.280 front page tomorrow,
00:23:53.740 oh,
00:23:54.060 Trump agenda's stalling.
00:23:55.600 They,
00:23:55.780 you know,
00:23:55.980 they went from 30 points
00:23:57.160 to 25 points winning,
00:23:58.820 you know.
00:23:59.080 So,
00:23:59.640 gotta run up
00:24:00.180 those scoreboards.
00:24:01.120 And to that end,
00:24:01.960 Jimmy,
00:24:02.820 first of all,
00:24:03.340 I totally agree
00:24:03.740 with what you said
00:24:04.120 about radio.
00:24:04.800 Clay and I always joke
00:24:05.480 about how when people
00:24:06.280 know you from the radio show,
00:24:07.920 they just come up
00:24:08.480 and talk to you
00:24:08.960 because they're your friends.
00:24:10.060 There's no like,
00:24:10.980 oh,
00:24:11.360 there's no trepidation
00:24:12.840 or is it okay
00:24:13.720 or am I in or anything?
00:24:14.840 They come up to me
00:24:15.800 and they're like,
00:24:16.100 how's Ginger?
00:24:16.700 How's Carrie?
00:24:17.380 And I love it.
00:24:18.140 I mean,
00:24:18.280 those are our radio people
00:24:19.340 and same thing with Clay.
00:24:20.420 They know his wife
00:24:21.080 and his kids' names.
00:24:22.460 But tell me about
00:24:23.660 what you want to get
00:24:24.660 at the top of the agenda
00:24:26.780 working with fellow members
00:24:28.600 of Congress
00:24:29.060 on the Republican side
00:24:30.120 for the Trump agenda
00:24:30.940 once you are seated.
00:24:32.660 Sure.
00:24:33.440 So,
00:24:33.840 Northwest Florida
00:24:34.540 in the 1st Congressional District
00:24:35.780 has got five military installations.
00:24:38.380 So,
00:24:38.640 not only is the military economy
00:24:40.580 important to Northwest Florida,
00:24:42.340 there's so many vital missions
00:24:44.080 to our national security.
00:24:45.620 But because
00:24:46.220 of the military presence
00:24:48.160 and how beautiful
00:24:49.320 this place is,
00:24:50.380 we've got the largest
00:24:51.480 per capita
00:24:52.920 retired veterans population
00:24:54.580 anywhere in the nation.
00:24:55.420 So,
00:24:56.280 you know,
00:24:56.560 those VA services
00:24:57.480 are critically important.
00:24:59.200 At the same time,
00:25:00.400 making sure that
00:25:01.200 the missions continue
00:25:02.260 to be enhanced
00:25:03.000 in Northwest Florida.
00:25:04.080 We've got a welcome mat
00:25:05.720 in front of every one
00:25:06.920 of our households here
00:25:07.900 because we love our military.
00:25:09.980 So,
00:25:10.260 you know,
00:25:10.600 I'm really,
00:25:11.360 I'm looking at hustling
00:25:12.560 to make sure
00:25:13.160 that we continue
00:25:14.360 to support them,
00:25:15.500 especially those
00:25:16.440 that are needing
00:25:16.980 extra assistance
00:25:18.120 and guidance
00:25:18.660 with the VA.
00:25:19.680 You know what I tell people,
00:25:20.860 Jimmy's not a show horse,
00:25:22.060 Jimmy's a workhorse.
00:25:23.120 I look forward to helping,
00:25:24.280 you know,
00:25:24.580 break through
00:25:25.260 the bureaucracy,
00:25:26.140 helping people
00:25:26.680 get their questions answered.
00:25:29.240 Pete Huggsup,
00:25:29.940 a good buddy,
00:25:30.860 so proud of what he's doing
00:25:32.140 to bring the image
00:25:33.260 of the warfighter
00:25:34.140 back in a way
00:25:34.980 where men and women
00:25:36.220 are proud to serve
00:25:37.040 our country.
00:25:38.040 So,
00:25:38.240 yeah,
00:25:39.020 this is,
00:25:39.840 I'm pinching me.
00:25:41.160 I really can't believe
00:25:42.400 it's real.
00:25:43.560 Jimmy,
00:25:44.040 you've been fighting
00:25:44.540 for the state of Florida
00:25:45.560 for a long time.
00:25:46.740 Buck is one of the new residents
00:25:48.220 of the state of Florida.
00:25:50.100 What is the impact?
00:25:51.120 I mean,
00:25:51.440 I think it's an awesome
00:25:52.780 kind of test case
00:25:53.740 for what good governance
00:25:55.000 can do.
00:25:55.860 The number of people
00:25:56.820 that are saying,
00:25:57.640 hey,
00:25:57.960 I'm going to move
00:25:58.640 to a state like Florida.
00:26:00.000 What have the numbers
00:26:00.620 looked like over the last
00:26:01.680 five or six years?
00:26:03.400 Yeah,
00:26:03.680 so we're in the best
00:26:04.940 fiscal health
00:26:06.120 we've ever been
00:26:06.900 in the history
00:26:07.420 of the state of Florida.
00:26:08.680 And so,
00:26:09.440 look,
00:26:09.640 I've been the CFO
00:26:10.520 for the last eight years.
00:26:11.740 I'm proud how much debt
00:26:13.120 we've paid down.
00:26:14.200 But here's the twisted
00:26:15.160 thing about it.
00:26:16.420 Even in the jacked up
00:26:18.320 Biden administration
00:26:19.580 where we had
00:26:20.380 double digit inflation,
00:26:22.980 what people don't realize
00:26:24.400 in Florida,
00:26:26.020 the state of Florida
00:26:26.720 made more money
00:26:27.800 than ever before
00:26:28.900 because if things cost more
00:26:30.560 and we're only
00:26:31.400 a sales tax environment,
00:26:33.060 y'all know that
00:26:33.680 because now you're not
00:26:34.660 paying income tax
00:26:35.660 from wherever you once
00:26:36.580 were living.
00:26:37.320 We made more money
00:26:38.640 as a state,
00:26:39.300 so we aggressively
00:26:40.400 paid down debt
00:26:42.360 at a breakneck speed.
00:26:44.740 We have also created
00:26:46.000 a culture.
00:26:46.540 I'll tell people
00:26:47.000 it's not a sprint,
00:26:48.300 it's a mark.
00:26:48.720 You've got to work
00:26:49.300 on it every day.
00:26:50.500 We have 400,000
00:26:51.760 new net Floridians
00:26:52.940 come to the state
00:26:54.040 of Florida
00:26:54.440 and we've got
00:26:55.340 1.3 million more
00:26:56.880 registered Republicans
00:26:57.880 than Democrats.
00:26:59.020 The trend we're going
00:27:00.600 is to give people
00:27:01.900 their personal freedom
00:27:02.840 and keep their tax money.
00:27:04.960 All right.
00:27:05.820 Get out and vote for him,
00:27:07.020 Jimmy Patronis.
00:27:07.780 Jimmy,
00:27:08.020 I'll see you down
00:27:08.700 on the beach here
00:27:09.680 in the near future.
00:27:10.560 I'm going to spend
00:27:10.940 a bunch of time
00:27:11.520 down there this spring
00:27:12.840 and summer,
00:27:13.300 so keep up
00:27:14.200 the good work
00:27:14.700 and look forward
00:27:15.180 to you doing
00:27:15.540 a fantastic job
00:27:16.540 for everybody
00:27:16.920 on the panhandle.
00:27:18.440 Thanks, guys.
00:27:19.280 God bless you.
00:27:19.960 Thanks for having me.
00:27:21.400 For sure.
00:27:21.980 That's Jimmy Patronis again.
00:27:23.260 We want to keep
00:27:23.760 echoing it.
00:27:24.480 Randy Fine,
00:27:25.240 Florida 6,
00:27:26.040 Jimmy Patronis,
00:27:26.860 Florida 1,
00:27:27.680 and get out
00:27:28.560 and vote for Brad Schimmel
00:27:30.300 in the entire state
00:27:31.640 of Wisconsin.
00:27:32.520 Three different storylines
00:27:34.900 going on right now
00:27:35.820 that will be covered
00:27:36.540 as Buck mentioned
00:27:37.340 to a great degree
00:27:38.480 as an early test
00:27:40.460 of the momentum
00:27:41.240 for Trump
00:27:42.000 some 75 days-ish
00:27:43.700 into his second term.
00:27:45.740 If your family
00:27:46.200 carried around
00:27:46.800 a video camera
00:27:47.640 back in the day,
00:27:48.880 chances are
00:27:49.520 you still got
00:27:50.100 the videotape cassettes
00:27:51.220 to prove it.
00:27:52.320 Memory stored on them,
00:27:53.460 valuable when you
00:27:54.360 recorded them.
00:27:55.160 They've only become
00:27:56.120 more valuable
00:27:56.840 as time's gone on.
00:27:57.960 How about digitizing?
00:27:59.420 What's on those
00:28:00.180 video cassettes?
00:28:01.160 Legacy Box can do
00:28:02.080 that right now
00:28:02.680 for you
00:28:03.140 at a great price.
00:28:04.580 And digitizing
00:28:05.220 those tapes means
00:28:06.120 moving the content

00:28:08.040 That means you can
00:28:09.240 easily log on
00:28:10.420 from a phone,
00:28:11.260 smart TV,
00:28:12.060 a laptop,

00:28:13.920 And that way
00:28:14.360 you can watch
00:28:15.100 and share those
00:28:15.860 restored family memories
00:28:17.340 on easy-to-use

00:28:31.700 at a time,
00:28:32.320 then you'll get
00:28:32.780 them back on the cloud

00:29:18.300 Welcome back
00:29:18.880 into Clay and Buck.
00:29:20.160 A couple things
00:29:20.740 to take a quick look at here.
00:29:21.960 One is
00:29:22.700 the reductions
00:29:24.060 in the federal workforce
00:29:25.600 just as of
00:29:26.940 April 1st
00:29:28.760 is in the New York Times,
00:29:29.620 so I'm assuming
00:29:29.920 this is not April Fool's.
00:29:31.640 There are impending
00:29:33.140 layoffs of 10,000
00:29:34.640 CDC
00:29:36.020 and other
00:29:38.040 federal health workers.
00:29:41.400 Confirmed cuts
00:29:42.300 according to
00:29:42.760 the New York Times here
00:29:43.660 at least
00:29:44.720 49,000
00:29:46.380 so far.
00:29:48.040 Many of these employees
00:29:49.260 though have been
00:29:49.780 temporarily reinstated
00:29:51.340 after court orders
00:29:52.760 have come down
00:29:53.320 as we've discussed
00:29:54.040 after the hashtag
00:29:54.920 resistance judges.
00:29:56.140 Employees who took
00:29:58.260 buyouts
00:29:58.800 75,000.
00:30:01.100 I can't do the math
00:30:02.180 on that
00:30:02.580 but what is that
00:30:03.440 as a percentage
00:30:04.960 of the overall
00:30:05.720 where there's about
00:30:06.340 2 million
00:30:06.800 federal employees
00:30:08.460 so you know
00:30:09.860 you're looking at
00:30:10.840 what
00:30:11.280 they think
00:30:12.800 it might get up
00:30:13.260 to 5%
00:30:13.980 maybe it'll get up
00:30:14.760 to 5%
00:30:15.480 we'll see
00:30:15.940 and then
00:30:16.960 planned reductions
00:30:18.260 at least
00:30:18.640 171,000.
00:30:20.520 There's a lot
00:30:21.520 of efficiency
00:30:22.980 stuff that is
00:30:23.880 going on
00:30:24.500 right now.
00:30:25.720 USAID
00:30:26.280 basically gutted
00:30:27.400 and gone
00:30:27.820 more than 99%
00:30:28.940 Voice of America
00:30:29.980 gutted and gone
00:30:30.840 more than 99%
00:30:32.100 Education
00:30:33.240 Department of Education
00:30:34.000 46% down
00:30:35.180 and then HHS
00:30:36.160 Energy
00:30:36.680 IRS 0.92
00:30:37.280 CFPB
00:30:38.900 all down
00:30:39.960 in the teens
00:30:40.740 you know
00:30:41.220 the numbers are
00:30:41.940 12, 13, 16
00:30:43.180 around there
00:30:43.840 so
00:30:45.020 this is
00:30:46.360 they think
00:30:46.800 it could affect
00:30:47.620 a total clay
00:30:48.320 of 12%
00:30:49.080 of the 2.4
00:30:50.280 million
00:30:51.080 civilian
00:30:51.560 federal workers
00:30:52.840 so that's
00:30:53.240 the total
00:30:53.520 affected
00:30:53.980 maybe
00:30:54.340 the buyouts
00:30:55.380 could be
00:30:56.060 5-10%
00:30:57.460 they thought
00:30:57.900 maybe more
00:30:58.380 like 5%
00:30:59.160 but I think
00:31:00.960 you have
00:31:01.260 a particular
00:31:02.220 perspective here
00:31:03.000 the Secret Service
00:31:03.920 which had
00:31:05.740 a very bad
00:31:06.420 year in 2024
00:31:07.260 let's just be
00:31:08.240 frank about that
00:31:09.000 a very bad
00:31:09.640 year for this
00:31:10.040 I mean it could
00:31:10.420 have been worse
00:31:11.040 God forbid
00:31:11.700 but it was
00:31:12.260 pretty bad
00:31:12.780 as it was
00:31:13.340 you were at
00:31:14.840 the golf course
00:31:15.820 tell everybody
00:31:16.620 where the second
00:31:17.620 assassination
00:31:18.180 attempt
00:31:19.000 against
00:31:20.040 Trump
00:31:20.540 occurred
00:31:21.480 and what
00:31:22.440 did you learn
00:31:22.900 from seeing
00:31:23.540 that environment
00:31:25.060 yourself up close
00:31:26.140 so first of all
00:31:27.180 I encourage you guys
00:31:28.400 go donate
00:31:29.040 Tunnel to Towers
00:31:29.940 T2T.org
00:31:31.160 the reason I was
00:31:32.220 there playing
00:31:32.760 was Frank Siller
00:31:33.640 the work that they do
00:31:34.920 the last time I played
00:31:36.400 with them was New York
00:31:37.400 they're now doing
00:31:38.280 a major fundraiser
00:31:39.420 down in Florida
00:31:40.220 and they're going to do
00:31:40.980 it multiple years
00:31:41.980 at Trump International
00:31:43.020 Golf Course
00:31:43.720 so if you are
00:31:44.820 in Florida
00:31:45.480 and you would be
00:31:46.900 interested in playing
00:31:47.880 in that event
00:31:48.500 which I hope I'll be
00:31:49.220 able to do next year
00:31:50.180 with them as well
00:31:50.920 they raise millions
00:31:52.120 of dollars at these
00:31:53.080 events and they go
00:31:54.860 to help people
00:31:56.020 who were either
00:31:57.280 killed or
00:31:57.940 catastrophically wounded
00:31:59.140 military
00:32:00.020 first responders
00:32:01.020 you guys know
00:32:02.100 their work
00:32:02.980 95% of every dollar
00:32:04.520 goes to help
00:32:05.220 those in need
00:32:06.000 they do phenomenal
00:32:07.040 work so that's
00:32:07.800 where I was
00:32:08.380 that's why I was
00:32:09.140 playing there
00:32:09.760 I had not been
00:32:11.220 to this Trump
00:32:11.860 International course
00:32:12.960 in West Palm Beach
00:32:13.920 before
00:32:14.320 I'm an awful
00:32:15.080 golfer
00:32:15.560 I love playing
00:32:16.420 golf
00:32:16.740 I don't get
00:32:17.120 to do it
00:32:17.480 very often
00:32:18.100 but as we're
00:32:20.960 going around
00:32:21.620 the course
00:32:22.160 yesterday
00:32:22.760 and thank you
00:32:23.820 for holding
00:32:24.160 down the fort
00:32:24.780 on the show
00:32:25.580 I got to see
00:32:27.300 and my caddy
00:32:28.700 was there
00:32:29.400 explaining to me
00:32:30.880 exactly the
00:32:32.220 locations of
00:32:33.420 this would-be
00:32:34.200 second assassin
00:32:35.140 and having seen
00:32:37.520 it on the ground
00:32:38.820 now for myself
00:32:40.120 it is
00:32:41.780 unbelievable to me
00:32:43.680 that we have not
00:32:44.360 gotten more details
00:32:45.460 about this
00:32:46.160 because
00:32:47.160 this guy was
00:32:48.580 going to come
00:32:49.560 insanely close
00:32:51.180 to Trump
00:32:51.800 at an area
00:32:53.200 where you
00:32:53.900 could not miss
00:32:55.200 and what
00:32:56.420 I was told
00:32:57.560 by people
00:32:58.060 who were there
00:32:58.640 was that it was
00:32:59.240 the glinting
00:33:00.020 of the sunlight
00:33:01.080 off of the barrel
00:33:02.200 of his gun
00:33:03.020 that made him
00:33:04.560 noticeable
00:33:05.400 Trump was only
00:33:07.020 one hole away
00:33:08.260 from this guy
00:33:10.660 being able 0.90
00:33:11.360 to murder 1.00
00:33:12.080 Trump 1.00
00:33:12.840 right after
00:33:14.180 the July 13
00:33:15.640 terrorist
00:33:16.280 had come
00:33:16.980 within
00:33:17.660 would-be assassin
00:33:18.500 had come
00:33:19.020 within
00:33:19.480 a quarter
00:33:20.440 of an inch
00:33:20.960 of killing 0.99
00:33:21.700 Trump 1.00
00:33:22.000 on live
00:33:22.380 television
00:33:22.780 at that
00:33:23.140 Butler
00:33:23.340 Pennsylvania
00:33:23.840 rally 1.00
00:33:24.300 fuck 1.00
00:33:25.160 this area 1.00
00:33:27.600 the fact
00:33:28.920 that it was
00:33:29.360 not swept
00:33:30.340 the fact
00:33:31.320 that the
00:33:31.720 secret service
00:33:32.620 didn't have
00:33:33.380 people
00:33:33.820 in those
00:33:35.160 bush lines
00:33:36.120 the fact
00:33:37.460 that they
00:33:37.760 allowed this
00:33:38.440 guy to
00:33:38.920 get there
00:33:39.520 at dawn
00:33:40.840 and be
00:33:41.880 there for
00:33:42.400 hours
00:33:43.080 and have
00:33:44.020 Trump
00:33:44.360 one hole
00:33:45.100 away from
00:33:45.780 him walking
00:33:46.500 up and being 0.96
00:33:47.400 killed right 1.00
00:33:48.120 there
00:33:48.480 is indefensible
00:33:49.920 and we have
00:33:51.480 not gotten
00:33:52.060 I don't think
00:33:52.660 the full story
00:33:53.500 on either
00:33:54.080 of these
00:33:54.580 would-be
00:33:55.000 killers 0.82
00:33:55.460 this guy 0.93
00:33:57.600 after Butler
00:33:59.180 Pennsylvania
00:33:59.740 I would argue
00:34:01.500 it's even
00:34:02.480 more indefensible
00:34:03.960 than what
00:34:04.960 happened at
00:34:05.600 Butler
00:34:05.980 because it
00:34:06.580 wasn't like
00:34:07.220 the guy
00:34:07.720 was on
00:34:08.320 the roof
00:34:08.820 of that
00:34:09.340 building
00:34:10.200 in Butler
00:34:10.740 for eight
00:34:11.640 hours in
00:34:12.440 advance
00:34:12.880 I can't
00:34:14.500 believe that
00:34:15.080 this happened
00:34:15.640 I totally
00:34:17.000 see what you
00:34:17.760 mean about
00:34:18.060 the second
00:34:18.440 one
00:34:18.600 the first
00:34:18.980 one
00:34:19.340 I do
00:34:20.000 think
00:34:20.380 the very
00:34:21.660 first place
00:34:22.300 that anybody
00:34:22.780 would have
00:34:23.160 wanted to
00:34:23.640 clear would
00:34:24.040 have been
00:34:24.300 the roof
00:34:24.640 where the
00:34:24.860 guy set
00:34:25.300 up
00:34:25.500 this is
00:34:25.960 what I'm
00:34:26.280 saying
00:34:26.580 about this
00:34:27.180 if you
00:34:27.760 went to
00:34:28.100 that golf
00:34:28.520 course
00:34:28.800 with me
00:34:29.160 Buck
00:34:29.420 you would
00:34:30.500 look at
00:34:30.820 this
00:34:31.080 and you
00:34:31.640 would say
00:34:32.160 how in
00:34:33.160 the world
00:34:33.640 do they
00:34:34.020 not have
00:34:34.480 this parking
00:34:35.100 lot managed
00:34:36.820 like have
00:34:37.820 agents walking
00:34:39.120 along inside
00:34:40.480 of this bush
00:34:41.120 line the
00:34:42.280 fact that they
00:34:42.900 allowed this
00:34:43.400 to happen it
00:34:44.180 feels intentional
00:34:44.960 to me it
00:34:46.320 feels like there
00:34:47.460 was first of all
00:34:48.200 some sort of
00:34:48.780 inside knowledge
00:34:49.760 that this guy
00:34:50.440 knew that
00:34:51.540 Trump was
00:34:52.120 likely to be
00:34:52.900 playing that
00:34:53.620 course on
00:34:54.320 this day but
00:34:55.900 of all the
00:34:56.780 places that you
00:34:58.240 would be on
00:34:59.020 this course this
00:34:59.780 is really the
00:35:00.580 only place you
00:35:01.480 need to secure
00:35:02.160 so really
00:35:02.580 what you're
00:35:02.860 saying is
00:35:03.540 there were
00:35:04.100 two
00:35:04.380 assassination
00:35:04.920 attempts
00:35:05.560 against
00:35:05.940 Trump
00:35:06.320 that both
00:35:07.340 relied on
00:35:08.360 the most
00:35:09.700 obvious
00:35:10.260 possible
00:35:10.960 platform
00:35:12.120 for the
00:35:12.940 shooter
00:35:13.420 positioning
00:35:14.380 for the
00:35:14.940 shooter
00:35:15.280 of all
00:35:16.440 yes
00:35:16.820 I don't
00:35:18.320 know
00:35:18.480 I mean
00:35:18.720 this is
00:35:19.040 we haven't
00:35:19.640 talked about
00:35:20.140 I mean
00:35:20.620 I'm saying
00:35:21.320 the collective
00:35:21.860 media as a
00:35:22.760 whole
00:35:23.060 for this to
00:35:24.440 happen after
00:35:25.300 the failures
00:35:26.100 of Butler
00:35:26.680 Buck
00:35:27.480 we're talking
00:35:28.040 it's one
00:35:28.600 thing Butler
00:35:29.200 you know
00:35:29.900 it comes out
00:35:30.520 of nowhere
00:35:30.920 and I'm
00:35:32.020 with you
00:35:32.480 it was
00:35:33.060 utterly
00:35:33.440 indefensible
00:35:34.140 but the
00:35:34.780 most
00:35:35.260 predictable
00:35:36.420 places
00:35:37.140 that you
00:35:38.480 would expect
00:35:39.120 someone to
00:35:39.720 try to kill 1.00
00:35:40.320 the president 0.99
00:35:40.940 were unsecured
00:35:42.100 after Butler
00:35:43.600 they let it
00:35:44.760 happen again
00:35:45.500 and we still
00:35:47.200 don't know
00:35:47.780 anything about
00:35:48.640 these guys
00:35:49.260 right I mean
00:35:50.700 compare what we
00:35:51.640 know about
00:35:52.020 these guys to
00:35:52.740 the average
00:35:53.360 mass shooter
00:35:54.160 who they have
00:35:55.080 front page
00:35:55.720 articles about
00:35:56.600 we know
00:35:57.260 everything about
00:35:58.260 them and
00:35:59.520 when I
00:36:00.280 when I
00:36:00.660 played this
00:36:01.140 course
00:36:01.420 yesterday
00:36:01.900 it just
00:36:03.440 I stood
00:36:04.040 there and
00:36:04.520 I looked
00:36:05.020 at that
00:36:05.400 bush line
00:36:06.120 and I
00:36:07.040 said how
00:36:08.360 is it
00:36:09.380 possible
00:36:10.000 that they
00:36:10.900 let a guy 0.95
00:36:11.460 sit there
00:36:12.060 all day
00:36:12.820 and nobody
00:36:14.760 was securing
00:36:15.480 that area
00:36:16.160 again the
00:36:17.160 course is not
00:36:18.160 particularly
00:36:18.780 complicated to
00:36:19.860 secure
00:36:20.280 again I
00:36:21.640 don't like to
00:36:22.240 take us
00:36:22.600 into a
00:36:23.260 really dark
00:36:25.320 and macabre
00:36:27.560 direction
00:36:28.400 but imagine
00:36:30.460 the feeling
00:36:31.620 in the
00:36:31.940 country
00:36:32.380 if after
00:36:33.960 that first
00:36:34.580 assassination
00:36:35.100 attempt
00:36:35.820 a second
00:36:37.220 assassin
00:36:37.740 just as 0.98
00:36:39.220 blatant
00:36:40.680 and honestly
00:36:41.920 tactically
00:36:42.840 lacking in
00:36:44.320 proficiency
00:36:45.420 was successful
00:36:47.340 even just in
00:36:48.060 wounding Trump
00:36:48.860 a second time
00:36:49.700 never mind
00:36:50.380 god forbid
00:36:50.900 something else
00:36:51.420 could have
00:36:51.620 happened
00:36:51.900 who would
00:36:53.000 have believed
00:36:53.640 that that was
00:36:54.300 just grotesque
00:36:55.800 incompetence
00:36:56.380 twice over
00:36:57.040 by a
00:36:58.280 multi-billion
00:36:59.460 dollar federal
00:37:00.180 agency that's
00:37:00.940 supposed to be
00:37:01.500 able to protect
00:37:02.000 the president
00:37:02.500 of the united
00:37:02.960 states
00:37:03.480 buck he got
00:37:04.720 away to
00:37:05.700 it he got
00:37:08.140 into a car
00:37:09.120 and drove
00:37:10.180 away and the
00:37:11.480 only reason we
00:37:12.480 caught him
00:37:13.200 like 50 minutes
00:37:15.360 down the road
00:37:16.360 was because a
00:37:17.300 woman in the
00:37:17.880 parking lot
00:37:18.680 saw him
00:37:19.740 fleeing and
00:37:21.020 wrote down his
00:37:21.940 license plate in
00:37:22.860 other words if
00:37:24.460 this guy had been
00:37:25.300 able to get
00:37:25.820 shots on Trump
00:37:26.640 which he nearly
00:37:27.280 did he might
00:37:28.740 have been able
00:37:29.120 to get away
00:37:29.860 so it's not
00:37:31.860 even I think
00:37:33.600 at a minimum
00:37:34.100 most people
00:37:34.700 think well if
00:37:35.400 you get a shot
00:37:35.860 at the president
00:37:36.420 you're giving
00:37:36.960 up your life
00:37:37.700 this guy got
00:37:38.800 away and the
00:37:39.460 only reason we
00:37:40.280 knew who he
00:37:40.820 was was because
00:37:42.140 a random woman 0.95
00:37:43.060 thanked the
00:37:43.500 ward she was
00:37:44.140 there took
00:37:45.140 down the
00:37:45.560 license plate
00:37:46.260 and again I
00:37:47.440 understand people
00:37:48.500 say well he's
00:37:49.280 okay now he's
00:37:50.160 been elected
00:37:50.600 president I
00:37:51.220 understand that
00:37:51.860 that that is
00:37:52.760 thank the ward
00:37:53.840 happened but I
00:37:55.520 don't think we
00:37:55.940 can let July and
00:37:57.100 August and what
00:37:58.280 nearly happened
00:37:59.320 just vanish and
00:38:01.400 not be having a
00:38:02.980 bigger question
00:38:03.860 about who knew
00:38:05.020 what how did
00:38:06.300 these guys end
00:38:07.220 up in the
00:38:07.640 position that they
00:38:08.400 did and are we
00:38:10.000 just supposed to
00:38:10.840 expect and and
00:38:12.340 and and believe
00:38:13.620 that these were
00:38:14.640 totally lone wolf
00:38:15.980 would-be assassins
00:38:17.180 it just feels
00:38:18.360 unlikely to me
00:38:19.120 didn't uh didn't
00:38:20.140 the secret service
00:38:20.700 also fire a
00:38:22.260 bunch of someone
00:38:22.960 fired a bunch of
00:38:23.700 rounds at him
00:38:24.260 from pretty close
00:38:25.500 and didn't hit
00:38:26.040 and didn't hit
00:38:26.560 him right yes
00:38:27.120 and he got away
00:38:29.920 again he got into
00:38:30.740 his car drove off
00:38:31.920 my understanding
00:38:33.160 was it was I
00:38:34.700 should check and
00:38:35.580 see but it was a
00:38:36.240 number of rounds
00:38:37.160 from a pretty close
00:38:38.220 distance that's why
00:38:39.600 I bring up that the
00:38:40.320 guy was able to get
00:38:40.880 away so you can
00:38:42.200 you can set up a
00:38:44.280 sniper position
00:38:45.140 against the
00:38:45.840 president and
00:38:46.840 secret service
00:38:47.460 doesn't figure it
00:38:48.120 out until you
00:38:49.020 almost were able to
00:38:49.580 get the shots off
00:38:50.200 again the second
00:38:50.720 time never mind
00:38:51.260 the first time
00:38:51.760 when he did get a
00:38:52.300 shot off and hit 0.89
00:38:52.800 the president in 0.99
00:38:53.340 the ear which is
00:38:53.920 still something I
00:38:54.620 feel like our
00:38:55.540 national psyche is
00:38:56.820 processing you know
00:38:58.360 how close we came
00:39:00.160 as a country to the
00:39:02.180 abyss I don't even
00:39:03.800 like to think about
00:39:04.980 it or go there
00:39:05.680 because heaven
00:39:07.500 forbid it just you
00:39:08.800 know God was on
00:39:09.580 Trump's shoulder that
00:39:10.460 day and we got
00:39:12.140 lucky as a nation I
00:39:13.420 don't care what
00:39:13.880 somebody thinks about
00:39:14.680 Trump we got lucky
00:39:15.740 as a nation because
00:39:17.140 that didn't you know
00:39:18.420 the worst didn't
00:39:19.040 happen that's right
00:39:20.200 but that the
00:39:20.960 secret service I
00:39:23.180 don't know what
00:39:24.180 needs to be done
00:39:24.860 to to fix it so
00:39:27.160 that their
00:39:28.100 procedures are more
00:39:28.960 of you know it's a
00:39:29.540 I think it's a
00:39:30.040 three billion dollar
00:39:30.980 a year agency and
00:39:33.000 they really have one
00:39:34.320 job I know they
00:39:35.100 protect a bunch of
00:39:35.860 people but you
00:39:37.480 know the hundred
00:39:37.840 Biden protection
00:39:38.680 detail is different
00:39:40.040 than the Trump
00:39:40.560 protection detail I
00:39:41.720 think we all
00:39:42.100 understand that right
00:39:43.080 and they had one
00:39:45.080 job and they almost
00:39:45.740 couldn't do that
00:39:46.380 it's pretty pretty
00:39:47.900 terrifying when you
00:39:48.700 think about the
00:39:49.200 incompetent you know
00:39:49.920 we talk about the 0.88
00:39:50.560 incompetence at US
00:39:51.400 USAID and these
00:39:52.580 other places secret
00:39:54.160 service got incredibly
00:39:56.420 lucky in 2024 that
00:39:58.240 the worst didn't
00:39:59.000 happen Trump would be
00:39:59.840 dead if they had had
00:40:01.180 a truly competent
00:40:02.760 trained assassin oh
00:40:03.940 definitely trying to 1.00
00:40:04.660 kill him at either of 0.99
00:40:05.360 those times yeah yeah 1.00
00:40:06.780 he would be dead and
00:40:08.060 the fact that we
00:40:08.800 allowed that to happen
00:40:09.700 in July and we
00:40:10.540 allowed it to happen
00:40:11.360 again in August to
00:40:13.200 me is utterly
00:40:14.780 indefensible and
00:40:15.760 again being on the
00:40:16.960 ground and seeing
00:40:17.980 that if all of you
00:40:20.420 walked that golf
00:40:21.420 course with me and
00:40:22.860 you said okay where
00:40:23.960 is the most dangerous
00:40:24.980 place that's going to
00:40:26.240 be on this golf
00:40:27.360 course we would all
00:40:29.120 flag that exact
00:40:30.220 location and the
00:40:31.820 fact that the secret
00:40:32.500 service allowed that
00:40:33.480 guy to be there all
00:40:34.760 day for hours it's not
00:40:36.780 like he pulled up 10
00:40:37.740 minutes beforehand he
00:40:38.760 was there since dawn
00:40:40.020 and came within a few
00:40:42.100 hundred yards of the
00:40:43.660 president being right in
00:40:44.700 front of him and it
00:40:45.480 being almost impossible
00:40:46.540 for him to miss I
00:40:49.040 just it's not talked
00:40:50.500 about enough and it
00:40:51.260 makes me nervous
00:40:52.040 because it makes me
00:40:53.800 worry about Trump
00:40:55.260 safety going forward
00:40:56.580 even though he's now
00:40:57.540 the president and even
00:40:58.540 though he now has a
00:40:59.620 better protective detail
00:41:00.840 if they failed that
00:41:02.020 bad twice why would
00:41:03.980 they not fail that bad
00:41:04.820 a third time well I
00:41:06.060 think Trump is putting
00:41:06.960 some of the people in
00:41:09.840 positions now you would
00:41:10.780 hope you would hope I
00:41:12.420 but I think I think he
00:41:13.380 is I mean you see you
00:41:14.920 know cash at FBI Dan
00:41:16.320 Bongino former secret
00:41:17.500 service as deputy FBI
00:41:19.060 director I know that's
00:41:20.260 not secret service but
00:41:21.240 these guys understand
00:41:22.940 what's at play here and
00:41:24.900 are going to fix it I
00:41:25.940 think so but yeah it is
00:41:28.160 it is incredibly important
00:41:29.480 that these issues are
00:41:31.140 addressed from the whole
00:41:33.200 gamut of a bloated
00:41:35.500 federal government way
00:41:36.900 too many people doing
00:41:37.580 nothing to the parts of
00:41:38.960 the federal government
00:41:39.580 that we need to be good
00:41:40.820 and need to be perfect
00:41:41.840 secretary heads at that
00:41:43.100 at at the DOD for
00:41:44.720 example this is this is
00:41:45.980 his mission the parts of
00:41:48.000 our government that have
00:41:48.680 to be absolutely a game
00:41:49.880 need to be a game it
00:41:50.920 cannot be and secret
00:41:52.060 service DOD these places
00:41:53.520 cannot make the biggest
00:41:55.140 mistakes and and make them
00:41:56.580 repeatedly if you're one
00:41:58.520 to donate to a worthy
00:42:00.080 cause look no further
00:42:01.600 than pre-born you'd be
00:42:03.020 amazed at what twenty
00:42:04.040 eight dollars can do when
00:42:05.060 you donate to support
00:42:06.020 their mission put that
00:42:07.220 money aside to make a
00:42:08.120 donation to pre-born and

00:42:13.340 to save the life of an
00:42:14.920 unborn child for the
00:42:16.520 better part of two
00:42:17.240 decades now pre-born has
00:42:18.460 welcomed pregnant women
00:42:19.360 at their clinics in an
00:42:20.200 effort to convince them
00:42:21.480 there's a better plan for
00:42:22.560 their unborn baby than the
00:42:24.420 contemplated abortion
00:42:25.500 pre-born operates clinics
00:42:27.160 and communities across our
00:42:28.440 nation where abortion
00:42:29.380 rates are the highest they
00:42:30.800 do this on purpose because
00:42:31.940 they want to meet and
00:42:33.300 welcome pregnant women who
00:42:34.720 are in a crisis pregnancy
00:42:36.460 meaning it was unplanned or
00:42:37.760 they're getting pressure
00:42:38.500 they don't know what to do
00:42:39.480 they want to help those
00:42:40.720 moms decide between life 1.00
00:42:42.040 or abortion for their
00:42:42.960 unborn child the resources
00:42:44.840 and services they offer
00:42:45.960 including an ultrasound so
00:42:47.720 mom can meet that unborn 0.99
00:42:48.820 baby most often lead that 0.93
00:42:51.420 mom down the path of
00:42:52.640 choosing life that
00:42:54.480 ultrasound experience is so
00:42:56.120 important and powerful in

00:44:35.640 election day for many of you in
00:44:37.900 florida and in wisconsin and i know
00:44:40.480 it can sneak up on you and you think
00:44:42.280 hey it was just six months ago in the
00:44:44.960 first district of florida go vote in
00:44:47.200 our opinion for jimmy patronus who is
00:44:49.600 going to do an amazing job representing
00:44:51.220 the panhandle that is the northern
00:44:53.820 most district in the state of florida by
00:44:56.620 and large and then randy fine if you
00:44:59.240 are living in the sixth congressional
00:45:00.820 district of florida and that is the
00:45:03.320 area daytona st augustine both very
00:45:06.700 strong trump territory two different
00:45:09.620 congressmen there matt gates and mike
00:45:12.040 waltz both being replaced in these
00:45:14.740 special elections democrats you heard
00:45:17.140 jimmy patronus at the top of the uh
00:45:19.700 midway through the first hour tell us
00:45:22.020 that he's been outspent five to one
00:45:23.780 buck yesterday you had randy fine on and
00:45:26.240 randy fine has been outspent nearly ten
00:45:29.360 to one were the dollar figures that i
00:45:31.460 saw so we want you to go send a message
00:45:33.620 randy fine jimmy patronus for the
00:45:35.400 floridians out there i'm down in miami
00:45:37.360 with buck thank you to him for holding
00:45:39.240 down the fort yesterday while i was
00:45:40.800 helping uh frank siller and all the guys
00:45:43.320 and gals at tunnel to towers raise money
00:45:45.760 for the fabulous event that they do t2t.org
00:45:48.860 they had a florida uh golf event going on
00:45:51.760 there uh and also wisconsin wisconsin is i
00:45:57.120 think it's fair to say buck the number
00:45:59.200 one battleground state in america right
00:46:01.620 now in that every race comes down to just
00:46:05.980 a few thousand votes it feels like our
00:46:08.100 buddy uh ron johnson got re-elected in
00:46:11.420 2022 by about 25 000 votes for those of
00:46:15.000 you who remember trump won uh wisconsin
00:46:18.200 by 30 000 votes in this most recent
00:46:21.660 election in november uh unfortunately uh
00:46:25.060 eric hovde lost wisconsin by a few
00:46:27.840 thousand votes by and large i mean this
00:46:30.220 is every single election in wisconsin
00:46:32.920 is right there on the margin of going one
00:46:35.780 way or the other so if wisconsin voters
00:46:38.360 who voted for trump come out they will win
00:46:40.140 that supreme court race uh and all three of
00:46:42.840 those races will be used in many ways as a
00:46:45.740 referendum on the first 70 some odd days
00:46:48.080 of the trump white house so that is out
00:46:51.000 there right now several other stories
00:46:53.400 underway trump reportedly as we were just
00:46:55.500 discussing going to give his full tariff uh
00:46:58.940 uh decision on april 2nd four o'clock
00:47:03.480 eastern we will figure out exactly what that
00:47:05.880 is tomorrow i would imagine more and more
00:47:07.860 of it will uh leak out we've got uh the 80th
00:47:12.300 anniversary by the way of okinawa for those
00:47:14.840 of you out there that are world war ii history
00:47:17.460 buffs today is the 80th anniversary i believe
00:47:20.060 of the initial attack at okinawa am i correct
00:47:22.640 in that uh sure i think i mean that that's
00:47:25.440 quite a stat to pull out of thin air they're
00:47:27.240 putting me on the hot seat the team team in
00:47:29.080 new york make sure that i didn't screw that
00:47:30.840 up i think that is correct that uh i know we
00:47:34.040 just uh had the 80th anniversary of d-day last
00:47:37.240 year i think the invasion of okinawa i believe
00:47:40.140 this is the 80th anniversary of that occurring
00:47:42.740 back in 1945 luigi mangioni uh a report that we are
00:47:48.420 going to be seeking through attorney general pam
00:47:50.900 bondi the death penalty um and uh there are a bunch
00:47:54.800 of other stories out there you're right on the
00:47:56.940 beginning of the battle of okinawa and we have uh
00:48:00.840 something special for everybody on the battle that
00:48:03.600 is known as hacksaw ridge we'll play that a little
00:48:06.300 later for everybody all right so i want to get your
00:48:09.160 take on this there has been a lot of drama in the
00:48:12.940 past few days over trump potentially wanting a third
00:48:18.480 term oh boy uh this is uh this is echoing
00:48:22.860 everywhere and uh i want to hit this for you i
00:48:27.180 believe we have trump talking about he'd like to run
00:48:31.180 against obama now trump has an ability to get attention
00:48:35.360 for things that frankly nobody else can get attention for
00:48:39.940 and we all know that he likes to gig the media a decent
00:48:43.660 amount now this initially started i believe buck with
00:48:46.260 kristin welker at mbc's meet the press trump gave quotes
00:48:50.820 there but here is cut three trump says he would welcome a
00:48:55.460 challenge from obama and he thinks it would be a good one
00:48:58.980 uh this is again cut three if you were allowed for some reason to run
00:49:03.180 for a third term is there a thought that the democrats
00:49:06.280 could try to run for off obama against you i'd love that
00:49:10.260 for his third term i'd love that that would that would be a good one i'd like
00:49:13.900 that i know people are asking me to run and
00:49:16.760 there's a whole story about running for a third term i don't know i never looked
00:49:20.340 into it uh they do say there's a way you can do
00:49:24.020 it but i don't know about that but i have not looked into it i want to
00:49:27.000 do a fantastic job we have four years just about
00:49:30.240 almost close to four years it's time is flying but it's still close to four years
00:49:35.240 and we're getting a lot of credit for having
00:49:38.380 done a great job in the first almost 100 days
00:49:40.980 okay peter ducey great question um as uh he tied in barack obama versus donald trump
00:49:48.840 let their guy go for a third term against our guy that would be an epic battle
00:49:53.760 what do you think's going on here what is all the third term talk about from your perspective
00:49:59.740 okay well for one thing it reminds me of gladiator which is a fantastic movie as we all know we've
00:50:06.400 discussed here it's your wife's favorite movie it's a top of all time five maybe top three for
00:50:11.620 me i mean so i i'm a huge gladiator fan as well not gladiator two that would be for peasants
00:50:16.940 some people are saying some people are saying gladiator two for peasants but anyway gladiator
00:50:22.580 one amazing and uh remember when they they bring out of retirement to face maximus they bring like
00:50:29.540 the greatest gladiator of all time i think it was titus of gall wow i've seen that movie a lot
00:50:33.660 titus of gall and he's the guy with the the metal the sort of gold uh mask on and the tigers and
00:50:39.960 all that stuff trump is a showman and for him the ultimate political opponent of this era would
00:50:46.580 be barack obama yes that is the the only democrat who won majorities uh twice you know even look
00:50:53.720 back at bill clinton bill clinton won with the first time what 40 something percent three percent
00:50:58.340 something like that now he was running with ross perot who got nearly 20 percent of the vote i mean
00:51:03.240 but bill did not have any kind of a mandate you know clinton never won a majority of never got
00:51:09.860 over 50 percent of the election which a lot of people don't realize right that's a stunning statistic
00:51:14.140 when you think about it in retrospect so barack obama would be the democrats great champion right
00:51:19.440 that's so trump just leaning into that i think is very trump not surprising at all the third term talk
00:51:25.520 uh i see this entirely as trump doing what he does which is he's going to get all of this
00:51:32.340 focus from anti-trump media on this everybody who likes trump and voted for trump kind of just smiles
00:51:39.480 and looks at this they're like yeah whatever you know calm down like no one really gets worried about
00:51:43.760 it from our side or then we worry about it just doesn't pay as much attention to it i think they
00:51:48.080 like the they are amused by how much it upsets democrats but here's what it does do tomorrow trump's
00:51:53.500 talking about tariffs last hour we were discussing tariffs there are a lot of people that want to
00:51:58.940 create a narrative that what trump is doing with the economy is destabilizing etc etc this takes some
00:52:05.600 of the heat off i view it as a little bit of a smoke screen or a distraction technique for the media
00:52:11.800 because they're going to spend a lot of time talking about something that is completely irrelevant right
00:52:16.820 now other than for the amusement factor and it takes some of the heat off of the look that they're
00:52:22.580 starting to see that there's uh they've got to do these cuts and they've got to do these changes
00:52:27.440 in these tariffs in a way that doesn't just feed narratives to the opposition right it's the right
00:52:32.540 thing to do but you have to handle it a certain way i think what it really represents is trump's
00:52:36.960 awareness that fixing the country is going to take more than four years and this is why we have said
00:52:44.060 you've got to string together a series of wins no matter how successful of a term trump has and i believe
00:52:52.720 he's going to have a very successful term in office here he's going to have to leave i believe in 2029
00:52:59.340 and certainly the other crazy thing about this is the process to select trump's replacement as the
00:53:06.680 republican nominee for 2028 will actually get underway by march of 2027 and that sounds crazy and honestly
00:53:17.080 the shadow primary will begin before then because people will be out raising money but basically the
00:53:22.680 day after the midterms happen next year the official running start date of the 2028 presidential calendar
00:53:29.680 will begin and that's going to happen in a hurry and one thing that we have talked about is
00:53:34.760 how will trump handle we've never seen this in his entire political career how will trump handle
00:53:41.660 the possibility of there being a successor to him which means that he isn't necessarily the straw that
00:53:49.560 stirs the drink that is the pursuit of who the new republican nominee would be matters now i think his
00:53:55.620 selection you nailed this uh well called by you before anybody else was saying it to me jd vance
00:54:02.400 actually is a selection that trump made because he wants there to be another generation continuing
00:54:11.720 the work that he started he could have picked a guy like doug bergam for instance nothing against doug
00:54:16.840 bergam who's in the cabinet but doug bergam is an older guy there are a lot of 40 somethings that
00:54:23.060 trump has surrounded himself with whether it's uh pete hegseth whether it's tulsi gabbard whether it's jd
00:54:29.300 vance these are guys and gals that are relatively speaking youthful in the political context and i
00:54:36.820 think that was a conscious decision to try to prolong the uh the movement that trump is trying to put in
00:54:43.760 place so you see this as pure 4d chess from trump just to be clear you think that him talking about
00:54:48.820 a third term you're going really this is like marcus aurelius level philosophical future of the
00:54:54.820 republic stuff you're going with here i think that trump will this is my take i think that trump
00:55:00.900 in 2027 will say at some point jd vance is my guy and i think he will endorse jd vance interesting
00:55:09.680 because i think he wants jd vance to be seen as the heir to trump i think that uh we'll see we'll see
00:55:17.920 we can mark this one down i feel i feel like trump is going to view the successor as a as a version of
00:55:24.820 the apprentice for the leader of the free world and i'm not sure that he's going to he certainly
00:55:29.540 hasn't already and he's been given opportunities to say it is jd he's sort of uh deferred on that
00:55:35.020 yeah he asked that question directly directly so maybe in time uh but i could see trump wanting to
00:55:40.300 be kingmaker toward the end here and you know he's a guy who likes to be in the center of the game
00:55:45.660 the second that you pick your your v i can't believe we're talking about you know we're just
00:55:50.860 a couple months into trump's term we'll get back onto that in a second but the second that you say
00:55:54.820 who your successor is in this political environment the successor is going to be the person who is
00:56:00.740 driving a lot of the party agenda so i whereas if you say hey guys i got a lot of work to do until
00:56:07.060 the very end i'm running through the tape and we'll see what happens with the successor changes the game
00:56:12.940 i do think it's interesting as well though um there are two two pathways to follow barack obama
00:56:21.340 anointed hillary clinton his successor kicked joe biden to the curb barack obama was right to do so
00:56:28.480 correct he actually made the right move because he was like dementia joe should not he doesn't have
00:56:32.760 the ability to do this and now we unfortunately have all figured that out but remember he never
00:56:37.620 endorsed biden everybody forgets in 2020 barack obama set out the race so to your point it may be
00:56:45.440 that trump likes the competition of people trying to get his endorsement and doesn't decide to do it i
00:56:52.960 will say this you know what he moved a bust into the white house recently fdr i don't know that it's
00:57:00.520 been talked about or reported on but trump took a bust of fdr and had it moved into the white house
00:57:08.780 now google i have a team back in new york google and see whether this has been written about um i was
00:57:14.880 told about this uh when i was traveling on air force one uh to go to the ncaa wrestling championships
00:57:21.400 recently trump has been saying recently that his favorite democrat is fdr and if you ask him why
00:57:28.760 his favorite democrat is fdr he says because he served multiple terms
00:57:33.840 well uh four right he got elected 32 36 40 44 four yeah just four terms yeah four terms in office
00:57:43.480 they had to have a whole constitutional amendment because of him what was it 1951 i think the
00:57:48.900 constitutional amendment came down which is interesting that we have term limits for president
00:57:52.400 and not term limits for any other elected office how many how many people do you think if you walked
00:57:58.080 on the street and you asked them to name any and they don't have to i'm not saying memorized but to
00:58:03.900 say any amendment beyond the first 10 that they would be able to do so i don't think you're i think most
00:58:10.540 people know the first amendment i think a lot of people know the second amendment uh by the time you get
00:58:15.480 into fourth amendment which is unreasonable search and seizure i think five percent of americans could
00:58:20.900 tell you what the fourth amendment is and by the way when you get into once you get into the 20s
00:58:25.080 you're really i think well i think some people would know the 19th amendment because they would
00:58:28.840 know popular culture when you get the right to vote and they would know ending slavery they would
00:58:32.400 probably when i say they five percent of people would know i ish yeah uh i think five percent you
00:58:40.060 know that's funny too is the most recent constitutional amendment is probably the most boring i think it
00:58:44.820 has to do with 1992 congressional salary changes can't take effect i can't believe they don't even
00:58:50.760 i don't even know that i check check me team am i right on this one this is really i've been doing
00:58:55.040 trivia night with carry recently so i try to be on my game we are reigning champ two nights in a row
00:58:59.240 at our local uh local club here by the way so just throwing that out there um but we had uh i think it's
00:59:05.920 90 91 or 92 it was you can't have a congressional salary change that takes effect until the next congress
00:59:12.140 i can't believe that that was actually a constant like you needed a constitutional amendment for that but
00:59:16.060 they did one uh i guess because everybody who makes the amendments was affected by it so some of
00:59:21.240 them are very um almost arcane or very procedure specific right anyway but no three terms is one of
00:59:29.200 them that's what got me on this whole rant in the first place so i don't know what what do you actually
00:59:35.480 think trump is serious you're talking about this like you think trump is considering this in some way
00:59:41.120 do you think he's really i don't think he's really considering i think he's having fun with it
00:59:46.780 um the problem is in order to change the law and allow him to run again would be very difficult but he
00:59:53.620 did say to nbc oh i could run as the vice president and then basically serve as the functional president
01:00:00.620 again i think trump is having fun because he knows to a large extent that his continued viability as a
01:00:09.940 politician drives his critics bonkers and the fact that they want to call him a king and an
01:00:15.540 authoritarian and everything else uh i think ultimately he's going to endorse jd vance that's
01:00:20.880 what i would predict as we sit here in the april 1st of 2025 uh but i do think look we've looked at
01:00:29.220 the trump cabinet over the years we don't know how all of this is going to shake out but if i were setting
01:00:33.980 odds i would i would bet right now that he's going to endorse uh jd vance in 2028 major league baseball
