Welcome in Friday edition Clay Travis buck Sexton Show. I hope all of you are hanging out with us and headed into the weekend for a fabulous weekend. Buck, I believe is still on the French Riviera. I don't know when he officially flies back, but this morning I was doing prep for the show, and I was reading about all the super fancy parties that he has been attending and all of the flagrant excess advertising universe that has been engaged in can for the past week. So I can't wait to hear what he is going to have to say about life on the French Riviera when he returns to the radio with me on Monday. But I've enjoyed hanging out with all of you throughout the course of this week. We will be back together again on the Monday edition of the program, and I'll actually be up in Michigan. We've got a brand new, awesome affiliate in the northern Michigan area, Traverse City in particular. I know that a lot of you are listening in that area, and I'll be broadcasting from Traverse City, Michigan, which is one of my favorite places in the United States.

I know that a lot of you are listening in that area, and I'll be broadcasting from Traverse City, Michigan, which is one of my favorite places in the United States.

In the summer.

In the summer.

Absolutely fantastic up there, So look forward to seeing some of you running around in the Michigan area. My wife of course from Michigan. So we're gonna be up there with some friends and family, and I'll be doing the program with all of you there, and look forward to meeting a new affiliate in Traverse City and many of you that may be getting used to listening to us there. All right, we're gonna have some fun. It is the fiftieth anniversary of Jaws, the release of the movie Jaws nineteen seventy five. That movie came out. I would suggest to you, and we're gonna dive into this later, but you guys can already start to lose your minds or say, you know what, Clay, you're actually brilliant. This under percent truth. I think Jaws is the most influential movie that has ever been made in the history of film. And when I say that, I don't mean that it's the best. I don't mean that it had changed the conversation on politics, or that it led to freedom, or it led to any massive societal change. When I say the most influential, I mean that there is almost no one that has ever watched that movie that has not thought about Jaws at a minimum when you go to the beach, and I bet there are a lot of you who, even when you have been jumping in lakes, and even maybe when you've been in swimming pools after watching Jaws, actually thought, oh, man, I hope there's not a great white shark that is going to eat me during the course of this swim fresh water lakes, not even big lakes, like lakes where you can see the boundary. I remember after watching Jaws, when I was a little kid swimming in a pool at night. I was like, Oh, there may be a shark in here. And it wasn't in Florida, by the way, where I was like, oh, there may be an alligator in here. So we'll have some fun with that fiftieth anniversary Friday edition at a minimum in the third hour, no guest scheduled. You guys have been killing it on the talkbacks, so we will have a bunch of fun with those as well. All that headed this direction. But I saw this morning as I was doing my prep what fell. And by the way, we'll update you to the extent that there's any movement at all on the absolute latest as it pertains to what's going on with Iran in Israel. So far, it does not appear there have been massive changes since we talked to you yesterday and shared the news that Trump had said there's a two week window and we'll see how that's going to shake out. Okay, So let me dive into something that I thought was significant as I was doing my pre reading prep today. We have talked about the big Supreme Court decision that came down on Wednesday that said the state of Tennessee has the right to keep young minor children from having so called gender altering surgeries, however you want to classify it. That is, potentially your genitals could be chopped off because you happen to think you're a boy or a girl, or vice versa, which is different than the body that you were actually. In front page story from the primary, I would still say Democrat mouthpiece in media. The New York Times headline, Democrats' wary response to transgender ruling shows the party's retreat. That's the headline today's front page New York Times. While some in the party denounced the Supreme Court's decision, other top leaders remained quiet, underscoring the party's discomfort on the issue. Another way of talking about this would be that Democrats have been proven wrong on this, And I just thought this entire article was very interesting. Leading Democrats opening sentence offered a a slow trickle of critical reaction on Wednesday to the Supreme Court's decision upholding a state ban on some transgender care for youth.

Blah blah blah blah.

Blah blah blah blah.

Hours after the ruling arrived, some top Democrats like Chuck Schumer had statements. But you know, Chuck Schumer is never going to run for president of the United States. He represents the Senate Democrat coalition, and so that didn't really surprise me. But here is the third paragraph. Many others, including key players in the twenty twenty eight shadow primary race, had yet to weigh in. Gavin Newsom, at least at the time that this was written.

Nothing.

Nothing.

Governor Josh Shapiro of Pennsylvania nothing. Wes Moore of Maryland nothing. Asked for comment. Representatives for all three governors said they were not issuing any statements on the decision for now. This is what victory looks like. They also reached out to the to mayor Pete, to other people, and by and large, this was again to a great degree ignored, and at the front page article again in the New York Times points to and I've been thinking about this ad quite a lot because I've got a new book coming out. It's called Ball's ba Lls about how Trump won men and sports fans and how we all saved the nation in twenty twenty four. Very understated as you in case you're wondering, also has two big pictures of basketballs on the cover. You guys are gonna love it. There's gonna be a lot of people that lose their mind over it. It's gonna be out in November, and the book basically argues that young men, sports fans, and Trump saved America in twenty twenty four. And one of the parts of the book is this front page article, Kamala is for they them, President Trump is for you. I would submit to you that that might be the single most effective political ad that any presidential candidate has run in my life. I know there's been a lot of them, but the data reflects that that ad that Kamala is for they them, President Trump is for you. Uh. Because I've been doing research on it for the book moved in the favorable direction towards Trump two point seven points. It worked well for moms, white moms, It worked well for black and Hispanic men. Those were groups that were particularly impacted by that ad, which I think speaks to the scope of disgust that has settled in now. Men competing in women's sports is a part of it. But I would argue the far more significant component to this is, hey, if your son is fifteen and thinks he's a girl, we should chop his penis off. I mean, that is Democrat orthodoxy right now, but they are getting rejected nationwide. Front page credit to the Supreme Court, but front page news in the New York Times pointing out that Democrats are now running from this issue. And the other thing that I thought signed in here was there is a new poll out from Coefficient talking about who are the favorites for Democrat presidential nomination in twenty twenty eight. I just mentioned some of them to you there. Kamala Harris twenty six percent, support, Gavin Newsom twenty one percent, support AOC fourteen percent, support Mayor Pete eleven percent, Walls ten percent, Josh Shapiro three percent. That's the top six. I would submit to you that the top five here. You can clip this, you can save it. You can call me a moron if I'm wrong. On early November of twenty twenty eight, Kamala Harris, Gavin new Some, AOC mayor, Pete, and Tim Walls, they have a zero percent chance of being elected President of the United States.

They may be the nominee.

They may be the nominee.

I'm not saying that that's impossible, but I think Kamala Harris, Gavin new Some, AOC mayor, Pete, and Tim Walls have a zero percent chance. Now, Josh Shapiro, Governor of Pennsylvania. Problem he has, unfortunately for him, is he's Jewish, and a large contingent of the Democrat base doesn't like Jewish people. That's going to be voting in the primary. That's why I think he wasn't the nominee as vice president, so that's an issue for him. I think Wes Moore is gonna run. Wes Moore, I think has been making some solidly strategic moves, very popular Maryland governor. Not a crazy person. I know he's been reaching out to President Trump frequently and they actually have a decent relationship. I think Trump would tell you that, and Wes Moore has a military athletes background. He's not a pussy willow like a lot of Democrats, and frankly, a lot of people don't know him. Uh, And so I think that helps. But I don't think anybody with a major public profile that is a Democrat right now can get elected in twenty twenty eight because they've all gone over the woke waterfall and they've embraced such crazy what I would say is fundamentally rejected by most reasonable American positions. And that was, you know, the Kamalas for the them, Trump's for you ad really built off the idea that Kamala Harris said that illegal immigrants should get transsurgeries paid for by taxpayers.

She supported that.

She supported that.

And I think that Democrats have had to so report so many ridiculous stories and just flagrantly ridiculous positions that I think a lot of currently elected Democrats have a zero percent chance of being able to be elected nationwide.

Pritzker, Illinois governor, no chance. Gretchen Whitmercy's kind of got a Cruela Deville look about her. I think it's unlikely. I think she would expose herself on the national stage. I also don't think that Democrats are going to nominate a woman because of what's happened to Hillary and Kamala, and I think they recognize that that is probably not a good direction to go. But I think the bigger issue they have is they're wrong on all the issues. So they need someone who is either not a politician, they need their own version of Trump, somebody who comes out of the woodwork. Look out for George Clooney. I think he's a moron. Some of you may have seen us going back and forth, but Mark Cuban, I'm going to talk about this a little bit. Evidently, Kamala Harris strongly considered him to be her vice presidential running mate. But I do think that there's going to be a lot of rich guys that make the decision. Hey, on the Democrat side, I could be the Democrat version of Trump.

I could be a disruptor.

I could be a disruptor.

I could sort of scatter the ridiculousness and absurdity, shatter once and for all the woke universe. I think you're going to see a lot of people making that move. And I was thinking about it as you are seeing right now Democrats scurry from positions that would have been party orthodoxy just a couple of years ago. I think they've recognized that the trans thing has gone too far. I think most people I'm talking about middle of the road voters will say, Okay, you know, if you're a grown man or a grown woman and you want to dress up and pretend that you're a different gender because it makes you happier. Okay, if you're a grown man or grown woman and you want to have surgery to try in some way alter your appearance so you appear to not be the gender. I think that's increasingly getting harder to defend. I think just based on the health related risk, but I think most people are saying, okay, but you come for children. That's a line that we are not going to allow to be touched. And I also think the men and women's sports crystallizes that at some point the logical limits of inclusion are reached, and when you go too far, you begin to exclude people in the name of inclusion. That is, when you're saying, hey, this man deserves to be able to compete in women's sports, you're knocking women out of being able to compete in women's sports. So you want to be inclusive. I think them talking about middle of the road voters that are open but not to the point of exclusion, and I think that's where we are. And I thought that was interesting Front page New York Times. Many of the top contenders for the Democrat nomination are not criticizing that Supreme Court decision. We'll talk more about that. We'll have some fun as we roll through the Friday edition of the program. In the meantime, summer officially arriving today. This is the longest day of the year, and when you're outside more enjoying that longest day of the year, that means more time with different sports, maybe in the backyard with your kids, grandkids running around. It also means storms because thunderstorms can move through rapidly.

We got a lot of people weighing in on a variety of different subjects. Latest on Iran Israel. We will dive into Buck. We'll be back with me on Monday, traveling back from France where he has been on the French rivi Era. We will have a lot of your weigh ins on a variety of different topics. Eight hundred and two A two two eight eight two. We're having funds fiftieth anniversary of Jaws. My argument is it's the most influential movie ever made. Also by the way it launched the summer blockbuster era. For those of you who around my age, it's very commonplace. You would get out of school and there would be a roster of incredibly big blockbuster movies that were all ready to roll. And that is now super commonplace. But back in the day, the idea was, oh, summer is kind of a wall in the box office. People are traveling, it's not the time when movies are going to take off. And that changed with Jaws and the summer blockbuster phenomenon. So fiftieth anniversary, it is, by the way, airing for free on something called over the air television. That is free for everybody on NBC at eight o'clock Eastern. So if you've never if you're one of the only people out there whos never seen Jaws, tonight and you are capable of figuring out how to put on NBC, it will be free tonight for everybody to watch on the fiftieth anniversary.

So what's a break?

So what's a break?

Well, to start the show, I was running through the fact that Democrats who hope to be the nomine twenty twenty eight are mostly ignoring the Wednesday Supreme Court case on the transgender kid issue, which was decided six to three in favor of the state of Tennessee being able to prohibit these treatments. They're pretending that that ruling did not happen. Let me also point out, along with many other issues out there, if Trump hadn't won the twenty sixteen election, this probably would have been a five to four decision. Tennessee is not able to stop kids from having trans surgery. I know sometimes that gets lost in the overall larger geopolitical picture, But the most consequential thing in terms of being able to look at the Supreme Court for generations to come, was Trump's twenty sixteen one win, because without that, a lot of these six to three common sense decisions may well have been five to four crazy left wing decisions, and a state like Tennessee might not have been able to say, hey, we're not going to let fifteen year olds chop off their boobs or their penises. That is child abuse and we think it's not a actual medical treatment. So I know sometimes that gets lost in the shuffle, but Trump one point zero. If he doesn't win and Hillary is in office, a lot of these rulings that have come down are very, very different, and I think it's worth keeping in mind as we look ahead, Supreme Court justices are on the court for life. But some of these guys and gals are getting up there into their seventies, into their high seventies. And you only have to look at Ruth Bader Ginsburg to point to that and say, hey, you gotta be careful about staying on for too long, because you may not make it to where you're in a position where somebody who has a judicial philosophy like yours is going to be replacing you. And so in the case of Ruth Bader Ginsburg, you end up with Amy Cony Barrett, who is in the majority on this six to three decision. I would like to think Ruth Bader Ginsburg would have been smart enough, because she is an old school liberal, to have looked at a story like this and said, this is crazy. She's a mom, this is outrageous to allow fourteen and fifteen year olds to do this. But the Democrat orthodoxy and the far left wing woke ideology is very strong in many of these individuals, and I'm not sure necessarily that that would have occurred. Okay, I want to play for you. Barack Obama has decided to go back out on the interview circuit, and I believe this was a Connecticut event where he was sitting and he was talking, and he's talking about misinformation and disinformation, And I want to just play this cut for you, and then I want to lay out a thesis that I think is underlying why Obama is suddenly becoming more outspoken a bit.

She's a mom, this is outrageous to allow fourteen and fifteen year olds to do this. But the Democrat orthodoxy and the far left wing woke ideology is very strong in many of these individuals, and I'm not sure necessarily that that would have occurred. Okay, I want to play for you. Barack Obama has decided to go back out on the interview circuit, and I believe this was a Connecticut event where he was sitting and he was talking, and he's talking about misinformation and disinformation, And I want to just play this cut for you, and then I want to lay out a thesis that I think is underlying why Obama is suddenly becoming more outspoken a bit.

Let's listen.

Let's listen.

Our biggest founds right now is we need democracy and social cohesion.

Our biggest founds right now is we need democracy and social cohesion.

And trust.

More than ever, and it's probably as weak as it's been since I've been alive. And that's a bad combination.

More than ever, and it's probably as weak as it's been since I've been alive. And that's a bad combination.

Okay, I don't actually buy that that's true because Barack Obama. What year was Barack Obama born? Guys, will you look that up? I think Barack Obama was alive in nineteen sixty eight, which I would argue for most people out there is the craziest year of most of our lives. I would actually put twenty twenty in second place in many ways in terms of eras, the COVID twenty twenty BLM protest, George Floyd, insanity, all of that is right up there with nineteen sixty eight.

They echo with each other.

They echo with each other.

But I think Barack Obama would have been alive in nineteen sixty eight. I believe that I'm accurate on that because I think that Barack Obama is about fifteen years older than me and is the oldest born in nineteen sixty one. So yeah, he may not remember it well, but he was certainly alive for that. What's behind Obama? Let me it's a funny one. Let me actually dive in here for a minute and tell you where I think all this is coming from. So I think that Obama believed that his two thousand and eight win and his twenty twelve win was good going to make him one of the most transformative figures in American history from a presidential perspective, and I think he was quite confident in that, and I think he was quite proud of it that he is the first non white president half black, half lite the white half evidently doesn't count, but first non white president. And I think he was of the opinion that his election in the twenty first century was going to turn into a transformative moment and that in the generations to come he would echo even more, that he would become even more of an iconic figure. I don't think it's happened, and I think he is looking now at Donald Trump because we just had the ten year anniversary of Trump coming down the escalator and announcing that he was going to run for president in twenty sixteen the election site, and now Trump has been elected twice and he's going to be in office as long as he stays healthy until January of twenty twenty nine. And Trump two point zero, I think has the potential to be one of the most impactful and consequential terms in office that we have ever seen. And if you just use the first one hundred and fifty ish days of Trump two point zero as a proxy. I actually asked Buck this when we walked out of the Oval office last week.

What is Trump even going to do by year three?

What is Trump even going to do by year three?

He's moving so fast and obviously one of the challenges of being president is there many different issues that arise that you're not really in control of. COVID is a great example in twenty twenty because I think Trump was on pace to have the greatest economy in the history of the world. And if COVID doesn't suddenly land in March of twenty twenty, even if it landed in March of twenty twenty one instead of March of twenty twenty, if it doesn't land right in the middle of an American presidential election cycle. I think Trump would have rowed that economy in twenty twenty no matter what sort of Shenanigan's Democrats tried. I think he would have ridden that into an incredibly successful twenty twenty election campaign. And I think he would have crushed Joe Biden. I don't think it would have even been remotely close, because remember it would have been they would have not been able to hide Biden, they wouldn't have been able to send him to the basement. Biden's frailties would have been in stark contrast with Trump's virility, and I don't even think the election would have been close. I think Democrats got thrown a life veest and it saved what would have otherwise been a metaphorically drowning Biden twenty twenty campaign, and I think a lot of them in retrospect now see that. I think it's why they played up the fear of COVID all those other things, because I think they recognize that they would have lost and it would not have been particularly close in twenty twenty. But if Trump had won in twenty twenty. I actually think his impact would be far less consequential than it has been in this term starting in twenty twenty five, and I think Obama's having that realization. I think Obama is suddenly looking around and saying, Okay, if you just think about presidents in the last two generations, Ronald Reagan had a transformative presidency. I know the Berlin Wall came down in George hw Bush's tenure. A lot of people forget about that in nineteen eighty nine, but Reagan had a transformative presidency. In my life, I would put Reagan as the most transformative president. Bill Clinton, I think, had a highly successful presidency, and I know people out there are like, yeah, well, leave aside the Intern. As I've said for some time, I would rather a president screw an Intern than the whole country. Okay, if Biden screwed the whole country. He may not have screwed an Intern, but he screwed the whole country instead. If you're around my age, most of us who grew up and I'm forty six, most of us who grew up in the eighties and nineties feel like America was pretty awesome in the eighties and nineties. That entire generation of kids that grew up in the eighties and nineties. I'm not saying we're perfect, but it was a sort of a pre internet world where you could just get let out on your own. Like I laugh about this now, but I rode the school bus home from my public school. My parents both worked. They just gave me a mace canister on the keychain. I was ten, and they were like, hey, if anybody tries to kidnap, you just spray them with mace. If I suggested that about my ten year old right now, my wife would strangle me. What we let kids do in the seventies, eighties, and nineties, and don't even get me started, I'm sure in the fifties and sixties. And then my mom says, when she was growing up in Chattanooga, Tennessee, they had ponies, and her mom would just be like, hey, you and your brother, get on your ponies and just be back before dark. You got on a horse and just rode off into the distance in Chattanooga, Tennessee in the nineteen fifties, and my grandma was just like, yeah, just make sure you're back before dark. Do you know how far you could go on a horse, and they're just like, hey, you'll be fine. You're eight, Get on the horse, just ride around for a while.

So I could see why my mom thought, well, he's just riding the school bus. It's super safe. But you know, protectionism of kids has grown immensely. But I think most people look back at the eighties and nineties and they say, Okay, the Reagan era, the Clinton era, most people were pretty happy in the country. And then I think, and this is where you know, I'm gonna have to dive into this because some of you've made disagree. But I think George W. Bush was an unmitigated disaster. Came in with a balanced budget, nine to eleven, happens we end up in war with Iraq. Dick Cheney's a disaster. That's why I think the idea that Liz Cheney endorsed Kamala, A lot of you are like, good, Dick Cheney's the worst vice president in the history of the United States. I'm gonna have to expound on this thesis. But I think what Obama is slowly starting to recognize is that what he thought was going to be a transformative presidency that was the story of the twenty first century. In terms of excellent leadership, he has been totally overtaken by Trump. Trump is far more consequential and far more successful than Obama ever would have been. And it's a direct result of Obama's failed policies that Trump was enabled. And even beyond that, I think there's an argument that the only reason Trump even got into office was because Obama taunted him and Trump said, screw this, I'm not staying on the sidelines anymore. So Obama might have chosen the method of his own destruction, just like in Ghostbusters, and it's Trump, and I think Obama's starting to recognize it. We'll come back, we'll talk about this more. But maybe you need some energy in your life, some vinvigger vitality. Longest day of the year coming up right now, Tomorrow is the longest day of the year, Summer Solstice.

On the French Riviera meeting with advertisers and can looking forward to to being back together again on Monday. A lot of different stories out there. Let me update you on the latest reports that talks in Europe with Iran have failed. Iran is really kind of playing this in an interesting way. At any point, all of their leadership could be wiped out only by the grace of God. And basically Israeli fighter plans are they still alive at all? Yet they appear to be refusing to negotiate. I don't know what the historical analogy for this would be, but Iran failing to reach any sort of agreement in Europe. And here's the bigger picture issue that I've been talking about quite some time. You can never trust this Iranian leadership. They want nuclear weapons. It makes imminent logical sense for them to have nuclear weapons because it would preserve their political power forever, potentially, much like has happened with North Korea.

Tell you is likely to be a lie, and you cannot negotiate with them in good faith at all. So that is the latest on Iran and Israel. As I mentioned yesterday, Trump said he will decide in the next two weeks whether or not to go in with the big bunker buster bomb, among other things.

It's Friday afternoon in many parts of the country. You're probably ready for the weekend to be here. You may hate your job, but I'm here to tell you the guys working in the Iranian nuclear mountain factory they got a job than you. They're just showing up. At any moment they might get blown up. That seems like not an ideal job to have. Maybe the worst in the world right now. The Ninth Circuit this was I haven't spent much time on this because there's so many district court judges, six hundred some odd of them, and they're about half of them hate Trump, and they're constantly coming out with anti Trump rulings. The latest that happened was a district Federal District Court judge in California said Trump couldn't call out the National Guard Evidently that judge has no idea what actually the supremacy clause means, which is the National Guard is controlled by the national leader aka Trump. And now the Ninth Circuit, including I believe it's an Obama appointee as well, has ruled three to zero that Trump controls the National Guard and is able to deploy them in Los Angeles. This is not a very complicated legal issues. Some legal issues are very complicated. Evidently Gavin Newsom is going to continue to appeal that there is also so Trump is going to win that one. I will tell you anyone with a functional brain who is basic knowledge of the law will tell you so.

Exulting because one random district court judge said that he controlled the California National Guard, not Trump, was laughably absurd, and I think it's been.

And a federal judge in New Jersey has ordered that my Mood Khalil, three months after the former Columbia student was detained, should be released so anyway that will be appealed. Federal district court judges, about half of them hate Trump, and they will try to enter in place nationwide injunctions or rulings that will apply.

Where we are with the current breaking news stories of the day. Now, I wanted to hit you with a couple of other things that are out there. We've been talking about Obama being usurped by Trump as by far the most consequential figure that is out there. I also told you it is the fiftieth anniversary of the release of the movie Jaws. It initially came out in nineteen seventy five. We've been having some fun with this. Many of you guys want to react to the impact of Jaws in your life. I'm arguing it's the most influential movie of all time, not because it is the best movie of all time, but just because it impact people's thoughts and decisions in life more than any movie that has been released I think of all time. So we'll have some fun with that here in the third hour. As is the fiftieth anniversary. You guys can tee off on me, or you can agree a lot of different people, but I didn't want to play this cut for you because I think it's emblematic of the failure of Democrats to really understand the world in which we are living right now. Maxwell Frost, who is a congressman from Florida, right the Orlando area, I believe team look that up and make sure that I'm right, says Hey, he's got a big fear the United States is at risk of turning into Florida. This is cut thirty three.

Listen, you know, this fight against far right neo fascism, for me at least, was mainly taking stage in my home in Florida, fighting against Ronda Santis and the extremism there. And something I always told people is that the Project twenty twenty five is actually Florida twenty twenty two, Florida twenty twenty and the stuff that's going on around the country right now, we've actually been dealing with in the South for a long time, especially in my state of Florida. So the difference is it's like the struggle in my state has kind of been just spread throughout the nation. And honestly, that day after Election Day had a hard time getting up.

Okay, So I think this is really very interesting, honestly, because ultimately the debate that I believe we're going to have is going to move beyond Trump.

The midterms twenty twenty seven, the twenty twenty eight election cycle is going to be underway. And I don't think this is a bad way of distilling what that argument is going to be. And I think the problem Democrats have is they're on the wrong side of a really bad argument. If you had to say, hey, which two states right now are the avatar of Republican and Democrat belief systems writ large, Which individual state represents Red state America, Which individual state represents Blue state America. I think that Florida under Governor Ron De Santis would be the avatar for Red state America. Now you could argue Texas, you could argue Tennessee. I would argue that those three are probably the trio the triangle of Hey, this is what red state America represents. And I would actually argue that Florida probably is the best. Now, why would I say that no state income tax in Florida, no state income tax in Tennessee, no state income tax in Texas, so incredibly low tax states, very dynamic economies, rapidly growing populations, all Republican governors with some Democrats, cities in there, but overwhelmingly having become more read since twenty twenty. Now a lot of you live in different states. You might argue with me. I think I'm right in saying that if I had to pick a trifecta of states that represents what red state governance can be, Florida, Tennessee and Texas would be the trio, and Florida would be the avatar if you had to pick one state of Hey, this is what big red state policies can dori at large.

Okay, what about the Blue states?

Okay, what about the Blue states?

I think California would probably have to be the avatar for what blue state policies lead to, and Gavin Newsom would be the mirror image, right, the opposite side of what's going on in red state Florida with Ron DeSantis. And you could say, if you had to pick three states, I mean, look, there are many blue states that I think have been driven insane. You could add Oregon in Washington, but then that's just a Pacific Coast universe. So I think you would probably want to say, California, Illinois, and New York would be the blue state avatars, three big states that Democrats control basically top to bottom. The problem that Democrats have is they think Americans still want to look like what is going on in California, and I think overwhelmingly Americans want to look like what's going on in Tennessee, Texas and Florida. I think the representative argument here is not a good one, and Maxwell Frost is actually making it directly there that Congressman, hey, look out, America might end up like Florida. I think a lot of Americans are like, yeah, that sounds pretty good. And Gavin Newsom is still out there arguing, Hey, America needs to look like California. I think the problem for Gavin Newsom is most Americans don't agree. Now, Blue state America may, but the seven swing states, the people that are out there in the middle open to being persuaded. They're making that argument directly. The problem is they're making the argument in the wrong direction. Look Out, America's gonna look like Florida. I'm like, hey, sign me up.

I think California would probably have to be the avatar for what blue state policies lead to, and Gavin Newsom would be the mirror image, right, the opposite side of what's going on in red state Florida with Ron DeSantis. And you could say, if you had to pick three states, I mean, look, there are many blue states that I think have been driven insane. You could add Oregon in Washington, but then that's just a Pacific Coast universe.

I think most of you are too.

I think most of you are too.

Hey.

Hey.

If we're not careful, America's gonna look more like Texas.

If we're not careful, America's gonna look more like Texas.

That sounds pretty awesome to me.

That sounds pretty awesome to me.

Hey, hey, listen, Democrats, if we're not careful, the whole nation's gonna look like Tennessee.

Hey, hey, listen, Democrats, if we're not careful, the whole nation's gonna look like Tennessee.

I'm like, I live here. That sounds amazing.

I'm like, I live here. That sounds amazing.

And I don't think there's anybody in the persuadable universe that's like, Hey, we're gonna make America more like California. I think most Americans are like, no, we're not signing up for that. Hey, we're gonna make America more like Chicago. Yeah, I'd rather stay alive. Hey, we're gonna make America more like New York City. Hey, I'd rather not have a moro on governor. And I'd actually prefer not for you to take half of every dollar that I make. No, I'm good here. Buck has actually made that decision with his own life. Born and raised New York City guy, He's like, I can't do this anymore. I'm gonna move to Florida. Make America Florida. Pretty good tagline. Make America Tennessee, I like it, Make America Texas, I like it, Make America California. I'm off the boat. I think that's the problem Democrats have. They're making an argument they think sells, and in actuality, their argument was it that dog ain't hunting. America is out on that argument, and I think this is going to ultimately be in the wake of twenty twenty with so many people moving. We know population numbers. If California, Illinois, and New York were doing so fabulously well, everybody would be moving there. This is also, by the way, why I think abortion politics doesn't work anymore. If people were really troubled about abortion policy, they wouldn't be flooding all the red states. Like if you are a twenty five year old, twenty five year old girl, they're like, Oh, I can't believe they're gonna put me in handcuffs and like arrest me if I get pregnant.

But oh, I'm gonna move to Nashville. I want to go out on Broadway.

But oh, I'm gonna move to Nashville. I want to go out on Broadway.

Oh my god, Florida's gonna put me in handcuffs if I get pregnant.

Oh my god, Florida's gonna put me in handcuffs if I get pregnant.

But South Beach is awesome. I'm moving there.

But South Beach is awesome. I'm moving there.

Like young girls are moving overwhelmingly to run red states. Abortion politics is over. I'm arguing it in the new book. Just look at what people do, not what they say. It's a good life lesson across the board. Look, I want to tell you we love what life's like for me here in Tennessee, for bucking Florida, for so many of you in Texas. Red State America is making the right decisions. But you know a place that's trying to make sure that they can make the right decisions for everybody in their country, and they're under peril right now. The IFCJ is doing work for everybody in Israel right now, probably as we speak, there is the danger of having to run immediately to bomb shelters. Nobody's been able to sleep for the last week very comfortably in Israel because you're constantly moving in and out of bomb shelters. Based on what Iran's doing, I have seen for myself. I was over in Israel, I did the radio show from there for the IFCJ, and saw the tremendous work that they have done. Bomb shelters, food for people in need, being able to provide for emergency responders, safer vehicles to be able to travel with. They do the Lord's work with IFCJ. It's the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews, and right now you can make a tremendous difference by going to IFCJ dot org. It is tremendous work that they are doing. If you have extra money, you can join Buck and Me and being a donor and doing so much amazing work for the IFCJ. As Israel is in its ultimate time of need as they are in war with Iran continuing to follow in the aftermath of October seventh, do such amazing work. You can go to IFCJ dot org or you can call eight eight eight four eight eight IFCJ. They can use your help immensely right now in a time of war and a land praying for peace eight eight eight four eight eight IFCJ. That's IFCJ dot org.
