Hour 1 - Remember Operation Chaos?
2/26/202637 mincomplete
0:00This is an iHeart Podcast.
0:02Guaranteed human. Welcome in Thursday edition, Clay Travis Buck Sexton show.
0:09We are excited to hang out with all of you for the next three hours.
0:14Let me hit you with the guests that we have coming down the pike here.
0:18In the second hour, the chairman of the FCC will be with us.
0:24And then that is Brendan Carr.
0:26There are a bunch of moving parts in the FCC.
0:29Buck probably has not been following it as closely as I have.
0:33But also, the Paramount vs.
0:36Netflix battle for Warner Brothers has really heated up.
0:40And I love all these media stories.
0:43So maybe I'll have some questions about that and more.
0:46At 2 .30, we will be joined by the FDA Commissioner, Marty McCary.
0:53And we will dive into a bunch of different discussions with him.
0:58So, both of those stories are on the horizon.
1:01Both of those guests on the horizon as well.
1:04Several things that are happening as we start off the day.
1:08Hillary Clinton is testifying about Jeffrey Epstein.
1:13And basically, she is saying, I've never met him and I've never been on his
1:18plane. Tomorrow, her husband, Bill Clinton, will testify.
1:25And we'll see what happens there.
1:27I just really want her to look into the cameras and go, What difference at
1:31this point does it make?
1:33Just for old time's sake.
1:34You know what I mean?
1:34Just go full Hillary. Go full Hillary.
1:37And here is that cut that Buck just referenced.
1:40Old school. Producer Greg on the ball.
1:43This is a flashback to 2013.
1:46What difference at this point does it make?
1:50Wow, I didn't even know that we had that on the cut sheet.
1:52That was a mind meld there.
1:53Look at that. There's a story that I think should be a way bigger story.
1:59In fact, I know she doesn't do media very often.
2:03But, Producer Allie, can you put in a request for Susie Wiles, the Chief of
2:08Staff for President Trump? I'm guessing she's probably not going to want to come on
2:13the show because she doesn't do very much media at all.
2:15In fact, I've only seen her speak in public a few times.
2:18She's doing a great job.
2:21But, Buck, this story is wild.
2:23There are reports that Susie Wiles, when she was Donald Trump's campaign manager in the
2:292024 election, was under surveillance, as was Kash Patel, who is now the director of
2:37the FBI. But, that Susie Wiles' own attorney was aware that their conversation was being
2:46listened to by the FBI, but she was not.
2:51Have you seen that report?
2:52I just, as a lawyer, the number of situations...
2:56First of all, I can't imagine ever agreeing while I was representing someone without my
3:03client knowing that we were being listened to, while, in theory, I am providing legal
3:09advice to him or her to allow this to occur.
3:14This report, this story is out there.
3:17The fact that she was under FBI surveillance while being the campaign manager is crazy
3:23in and of itself. I mean, it is much more of a substantial infringement, probably,
3:28than anything related to Watergate.
3:30But, that her attorney would have been in that situation is really kind of a
3:37crazy story. So, I don't know how much attention you pay to that, Buck, but
3:41it's one that I think there could be more revelations from.
3:45And, I would actually like to hear from Susie Wiles herself.
3:49Well, if you think about it, it's not surprising at all that the previous administration
3:54would have done that. One thing that I was mulling over during the State of
4:00the Union as Trump was verbally slapping around the Democrats here and there was that,
4:08essentially, most, almost all of those politicians wanted, hoped, and thought Donald Trump would be
4:17sitting in prison right now.
4:18In prison! Actually in prison!
4:22Now, we have gone past this, we have, you know, moved on, I think, quite
4:29a bit too fast from where we were in the election year.
4:32I know it's been, you know, a year and a few months, but the whole
4:39plan was to bring criminal prosecutions against Donald Trump and lock him up.
4:43Why would anyone think that they would just be bringing prosecutions against Trump and not
4:48trying to ensnare? If you're going to lock up a former president, why not try
4:51to lock up his advisors?
4:52Why not try to lock up people around him?
4:55And we know, even like a, I forget, like a facilities manager at Mar -a
5:01-Lago at one point was included in one of the indictments.
5:03These Democrats were on a ruthless rampage of political retribution against Trump.
5:11The retribution just for him having been president for four years.
5:15I mean, they really were after him.
5:16And I think we've forgotten because it did get a bit, the escalation of Trump
5:23taking a bullet in the...
5:24here and then another guy hiding in the woods and you saw exactly where that
5:28was and how close that was and that he got a rifle there and they
5:32had to shoot at this guy to stop him it was the second would -be
5:35assassin of trump i know we just had a guy with a shotgun now trump
5:38wasn't at mar -a -lago then but it just goes to show you there's still
5:41crazies out there trying to uh trying to assassinate this president because trump took a
5:46bullet in the ear we forget that it was completely normalized among democrats to weaponize
5:51the justice system and try to lock trump up it wasn't just oh we're gonna
5:56we're gonna illicitly remove him from the ballot another thing that they tried to do
6:01that everyone seems to have when i say forgotten i just mean it it's not
6:05talked about anymore it's not remember they tried to take him off the ballot in
6:10multiple well certainly in colorado and and we're early stage in this in maine but
6:15they actually wanted to put this guy in a prison cell yeah that was the
6:19plan here and and i just think that so when you read this stuff clay
6:22i think there's even more that we don't know about that's going to come to
6:24light about the surveillance state abuses and there's also reports and look you and i
6:30told everybody that this was going on that our good friend fanny willis from atlanta
6:36was traveling to dc to uh coordinate her charges that she was bringing against president
6:43trump and we talked about this a lot but i know it's easy to forget
6:46their plan and it was foiled by thankfully judges who actually applied the law but
6:54their plan was to keep president trump in courtrooms they started in new york city
7:00they wanted to have him in atlanta they wanted to have him in washington dc
7:04they wanted to have him in south florida their plan was to keep president trump
7:09in courtrooms for the entirety of the 2024 political cycle that was their concerted effort
7:17they wanted him to jump from one courtroom to another they wanted to imprison him
7:21for the rest of his life they wanted to bankrupt him and instead i do
7:25think we didn't even mention this yesterday on the show and i and and i
7:29think some of you sometimes i think buck because of our age we don't notice
7:35things that other people who are older than us do trump stood up and spoke
7:41for nearly two hours at 80 years old in the front of that state of
7:47the union and showed no ill effects at all i do think it's worth constantly
7:53reminding people of the difference between joe biden and president trump just from a physical
8:00uh and mental capacity i was with my parents uh yesterday they are both 81
8:07about to be 82 uh and they were saying hey you know you should you
8:12should point out that president trump is 80 years old and he's doing that uh
8:16and just how remarkable it is for that context and i think for a lot
8:21of you that are in your 70s or certainly for those of you have been
8:24fortunate enough to reach your 80s even people who are retired and in their 60s
8:28they may understand the energy and uh and and and and requirements on that that
8:34frankly you and i might not and and i do think that's pretty extraordinary i
8:39recently had to do clay a uh a commercial of sorts because you know got
8:44a lot of got a lot of hats a lot of things going on speaking
8:47of hats number four on the new york times bestseller list it's not really a
8:52hat congratulations there we go thank you everyone for i want there to be an
8:57investigation into john meacham ending up in front of you on absolute absolute nonsense total
9:04is this like biden getting 81 million votes to meet you there's just no way
9:08because i i know his amazon ranking so somehow i mean i know that they
9:13push his book at every um i mean i we crushed him on amazon we
9:18talked about this yeah which is where about 80 to 80 something percent of books
9:23are sold on amazon he wasn't even top 10 on amazon after the first couple
9:26of days but he's number three in the new york times bestseller list really really
9:30uh someone explain that to me i know they built like shrines to him everywhere
9:35because he's a smug lib they built shrines to him in these little bookstores with
9:39the purple -haired nose -ringed uh you know left -wing kamala voters but i don't
9:45think that's enough to make up for the deficit on uh unless they were doing
9:50bulk but now there's all these games they play too they go oh well there
9:53were bulk buys by the way i i didn't have any major bulk buys because
9:56they put a little thing next to you uh a little a little life or
9:59something dagger death uh i didn't have bulk buys i just had people like you
10:04thank you buying the book and i still love my favorite thing is the review
10:08that i'm getting from people where they're saying uh it's actually really good and there's
10:13real research in it which is sort of like this is a little bit like
10:16when clay bench press 225 10 times people like wow clay actually can bench it
10:21was a lot of surprises like why is that so surprising everybody uh but it's
10:25a similar vibe i i i think it is to be to be fair i
10:29think a lot of people have come to recognize that most people who are famous
10:35and famous is being defined broadly here famous enough to write a book like 90
10:40of them do not write their books right uh if you go and look and
10:45i think people are getting smart enough to recognize that so uh not only did
10:49we write them uh we also recorded you can get the you audio book of
10:53manufacturing delusion which is entirely read by you as well yes indeed thank you oh
10:58but going back to hats other than the book which is a new york times
11:01bestseller yay go get your copy manufacturing delusion it's actually a good book that's i
11:05should put that on the cover it's actually a good book you will enjoy it
11:08uh because of all the surprise people have when they read it and there's really
11:11cool history and you'll learn some interesting things um but i did an infomercial basically
11:17like a commercial you know gotta pay bills and where's this gonna air you don't
11:23need to worry i just want to know am i gonna look up on television
11:26and just see you doing a commercial i mean i mean it's not quite sham
11:30wow but it was stuff you know i i said very nice product sometimes bucksters
11:35gotta hustle the point is i had to stand up for like over an hour
11:39i had to change my shirt just from being standing and the lights and everything
11:44else whatever so trump being up there because i got i got so wet they
11:47were like they were like you're leaking i mean i was just like having a
11:50rough time there uh so trump standing up and doing the speech as long as
11:54he did i have tremendous respect for that because standing and talking believe it or
11:59not is tiring in fact sitting and talking for three hours i know you're all
12:03taking out your small violins but it is kind of tiring two hours standing up
12:10there for an 80 year old i do not think very many people could have
12:13done that um and uh we actually now are starting to see some of the
12:18results uh that are coming in and uh let me make sure that i get
12:23uh that i get the one that i wanted to have here cnn uh as
12:28we told you would likely be the case if you just watched and you said
12:32hey you know what i want to objectively watch this and see what i think
12:38it was the most patriotic pro -america uh state of the union that we have
12:43seen in a very very long time and here was cut five cnn admitting the
12:48president trump surged 10 points during his address cut five put the growth president trump
12:54made over the speech so pre -speech it was 54 percent of speech watchers said
13:00his policies will move the u .s in the right direction after the speech that
13:04number goes up 10 percentage points so donald trump made some progress with people watching
13:08the speech from their pre -speech expectations uh to what they saw in the speech
13:13itself and that 64 percent number that's pretty much in range across all of his
13:17state of the union addresses in his first term last year the joint session that's
13:22about what we've seen is roughly two -thirds have walked away from his speeches thinking
13:25he's going to move it in the right direction yeah look um and uh i
13:30think that's a credit to trump now a lot of people who watch state of
13:33the unions already agree with the president um you know there's not as much hate
13:39watching necessarily but for the persuadable middle out there that was i thought a very
13:46significant uh result going on um by the way uh if you're out there and
13:52you're thinking okay 2028 voting is underway buck tuesday is the texas primary we're going
13:59to have a lot of the texas primary people on but this will be i
14:03think the first real test if you're listening to us in texas which i think
14:07is our number one state in the whole country in terms of audience yes you
14:11got to get out and vote uh these are big decisions that you're making particularly
14:15on the senate side i've got to tell you i'm seeing some numbers that show
14:20you've been a little dismissive of our lady miss jasmine crockett she is i would
14:26love she is within striking distance jasmine crockett won the democrat nomination she is not
14:32it is not the talarico campaign it's not a joke man she's uh within five
14:37points which is clearly a doable situation this is what i'm hearing this is what
14:43i'm being told that she's she's in striking now how many of our listeners the
14:47farm what do you think buck how many of our listeners do you think in
14:52fact i'll open up the phone lines we will give you immunity are diehard republicans
14:57and they're voting for jasmine crockett in the texas primary you mean russia's operation chaos
15:03continues on is is operation chaos underway right now in texas where a lot of
15:12people look very competitive three great candidates i would say on the republican side jasmine
15:19crockett i think this one is interesting we'll open it up phone lines you can
15:23also talk back are you voting for jasmine crockett as a republican to help her
15:30be the nominee just curious if it's going to be tight that would be fascinating
15:33so as i mentioned i guess i can do a little little trump dance because
15:38the book is on the new york times bestseller list but it has meant a
15:41lot of media and i'm quite tired because unlike clay i get tired i can't
15:47do media 24 hours a day i don't know he's he's like freakishly capable of
15:52doing media all day long i actually need a nap but i do have a
15:56little bit of a boost from chalk that gets me through chalk's uh chad mode

17:01Welcome back into Clay and Buck.
17:03Let's get the calls quick here, because we have people weighing right in on the
17:06topic of the moment from a minute ago.
17:08John in Austin, Texas. John, you're a diehard Republican, but who'd you just vote for
17:14in Texas? Ha, ha, ha.
17:16Jasmine Crockett. There we go.
17:19Operation Chaos Lives. Yes, it does.
17:23Is this a big discussion right now in Texas among Republicans, John?
17:28Do you get the sense that lots of people are making this choice?
17:32No, man. I'm in Austin.
17:34There aren't any Republicans. Yeah, yeah.
17:37Fair. We're going to keep the phone lines open.
17:40Phil in Houston. Really quick, Phil.
17:44I also am a lifelong conservative, but I'm registered as an independent in Texas, so
17:50you can take your primary here.
17:52And I voted for Jasmine Crockett.
17:54Never have voted in the Democratic primary except for one other time when I voted
17:59for Bernie Sanders because I thought Trump had the best shot at beating him.
18:03I love you guys. This is great.
18:04Open phone lines. Guys, this is Confession Thursday.
18:08If you're in Texas and voting Jasmine Crockett, let us know.
18:12An FBI report on home burglaries reveals just how often they're happening.
18:16About 3 ,000 a day.
18:19Do you have protection inside of your home, especially if you have kids, if you
18:23have grandkids around the house?
18:25Maybe you don't want something lethal, but you want something that will protect you.
18:30That's the Sabre Home Defense Launcher.
18:32Seven powerful projectiles that will shoot two more than most competitors.
18:37When fear hits and you have to defend yourself, having extra stopping power can change
18:42everything. Protection doesn't stop at your front door when you're on the move.
18:47Sabre pepper sprays, pepper gels, stun guns make a huge difference.
18:51That's SabreRadio .com. That's S -A -B -R -E -Radio .com.
18:56844 -824 -S -A -F -E.
18:59Loaded lines. Texans confessing to showing up to vote for Jasmine Crockett in huge numbers.
19:07We're going to get to some of your calls here shortly.
19:10Also, you can pick up your phone and do talkbacks.
19:12Some of you are going to be somewhat confused.
19:15Many states have open primaries.
19:17That means you can walk in and just say, hey, in the primary, I want
19:22to vote Democrat or I want to vote Republican.
19:26You don't have to be registered.
19:29My home state of Tennessee is like that.
19:31When I go vote for a primary, I go in and they say, hey, do
19:35you want to vote on the Democrat side or the Republican side?
19:40You tell them and then you can go vote.
19:42Some states out there, you are a registered Republican, registered Democrat, registered independent, and that
19:50can dictate in which primary you vote.
19:52We should mention that it is a very contested Senate in particular, along with many
19:58other congressional primaries. So when you are choosing to go vote, if you are a
20:03Republican, for Jasmine Crockett, you are giving away your opportunity to weigh in on those
20:10other races. So that is the balance that you are choosing to strike.
20:14Positive news, Buck, before we get to some of these calls with a lot of
20:18people weighing in all over the state of Texas.
20:21Mortgage rates have dropped below 6 % on the 30 -year for the first time
20:29since 2022. You might be out there saying, okay, Clay, what is the impact of
20:35that? The housing market to a large degree is frozen because a lot of you
20:41have 2 .5%, 3%, 3 .5%, 4 % mortgages out there.
20:47And the rates got up over 7%.
20:50They were so high as they come back into the 5s now on the 30
20:55-year. Obviously, 15 -year mortgages are cheaper than that.
20:59But as they come back in into the 5s, that is going to start to
21:04unfreeze the housing market. And people out there who got a deal in 2020, 2021,
21:10and you've been sitting around on your homes for 6 years or so, 5 or
21:156 years now, but you've had an additional kid or you've had a kid leave
21:19the house, and maybe you have too small of a house, too big of a
21:23house. Maybe you've had multiple kids.
21:25You've got kindergartners who are going to start.
21:27You want to be in a new school district.
21:28A lot of the housing market is totally frozen because people who have great mortgage
21:34rates didn't want to move.
21:36And as a result, it hasn't been able to unlock itself and move as a
21:42typical market would. This is a legacy of Biden -era inflation.
21:47We are... are now at four -year lows on mortgages.
21:51This is a big deal.
21:53They need to come back down lower.
21:54This is where cutting interest rates, Trump is right, will create a lot more opportunity.
22:00Okay, Ken, in Houston, Texas, you went and voted for Jasmine Crockett.
22:08Why? I voted for Crockett mainly because I'm pretty comfortable with any of the Republican
22:17candidates for Senate. I'm a registered independent.
22:20Texas is one of those states right on the ballot.
22:22It says you are not allowed to vote in one party if you're registered with
22:28the other party, but if you're independent, you get to choose.
22:31I thought Jasmine would be an easier one to defeat.
22:35Let me just reiterate this.
22:37You are comfortable with, you said, either Ken Paxton, John Cornyn, or Wesley Hunt, who
22:43are the three contenders on the Republican primary side.
22:47So you want one of them to win, and strategically, you're like, Jasmine Crockett's going
22:53to lose to all three.
22:55Yeah, any one of them would be better than Jasmine Crockett, in my opinion.
22:59And so that was the more important choice for me to make.
23:03Okay, thank you. James in Texas, how have you analyzed this primary as we sit?
23:09Again, a lot of people sneaking up on them.
23:11Be aware, all throughout Texas, Tuesday is primary day in Texas.
23:16Tuesday, first primary that we're going to have of 2026.
23:21How are you voting, James?
23:22What do you think? Clay, I'm going to assume Greg promoted to you that I'm
23:32going a little bit past the primary to the main.
23:36What I'm a little bit concerned about is that either Paxton or Cornyn's going to
23:43win. And there is a lot of angst between those two groups of Republicans.
23:50What I'm a little concerned about is that no matter who wins the Democratic primary,
23:56we're going to need whoever wins the Republican primary, we're going to need that other
24:03group to come support the person they didn't vote for, or we're going to end
24:08up with a Democratic senator.
24:10Thank you for the call.
24:12Yes, that is, he's 100 % right.
24:15Buck, how many callers did we have say they were so upset that Trump won
24:20the primary that they were not going to show up?
24:22People wanted to throw fits in March and April of 2024.
24:26Oh, oh, wait, did we get did we get people yelling this from both sides
24:30saying that we were too pro Trump or too pro DeSantis or yes, I don't
24:35know, just just mad at us over that whole thing?
24:38Yes. And what did we say?
24:40You don't want the communists to ruin the country.
24:43You're going to show up and vote for Trump.
24:45And that is what happened.
24:46And then and then everyone lived happily ever after.
24:49That is how this goes.
24:51Yep. And so I am skeptical that even yes, I get it that passions are
24:56intense right now and you want your guy to win.
24:59But I am very skeptical that very many people will stay home when it comes
25:05to the actual midterms. If to be fair, we are the dinner table where the
25:09where the frustrated Republican uncle can just let it rip sometimes.
25:13You know, that's fine. We're here for that, too.
25:15That's fine. You know, we take that.
25:16That's no problem. The number of people who vote in primaries and don't show up
25:21to vote in generals is infinitesimally small, right?
25:25Right. If you care enough to have the best Republican candidate possible, I think you
25:29care enough to not have a communist.
25:31Yeah, I think so. So the number of people who vote in primaries and do
25:36not show up to vote in generals is almost nonexistent, right?
25:40If you're and we want all of you to go vote in the primary.
25:42But the number of you who are doing that, that will not show up when
25:46it comes to the general because your guy or gal didn't win is very low.
25:50Jamie in Houston. I did not vote for Jasmine, but I am a registered Republican.
25:59And if someone gave up, I just think our gubernatorial races and all that are
26:03extremely important right now, attorney general.
26:06So I would never vote out of the party.
26:09And these people are voting for her.
26:12I get the strategy, but we need it now.
26:15We need good candidates on the Republican side running in November.
26:20Thank you. I get the I get the challenge.
26:25Strategically, I think there is a 100 % chance that Jasmine Crockett will lose.
26:30I think that James Salarico will lose as well.
26:33But if you are out there and you are of the perspective, hey, I'm fine
26:38with the Republican candidate, whether it's Ken Paxton, whether it's John Cornyn, whether it's Wesley
26:43Hunt, I'm fine with any of those three as one of our callers just said
26:46he was, then if you want to guarantee your side wins, you can do it
26:52in the primary by voting for Jasmine Crockett.
26:55I there again, I rarely say there's a 0 % chance of something happening there.
27:02But are you signing on here with me?
27:04Well, can I just point something out?
27:06Because I feel like you were a little you were a little dismissive when I
27:08was saying when Jasmine Crockett was saying crazy stuff.
27:12Rewind the tape six months.
27:13I said, Clay, she's building.
27:15Gene, how did you get this?
27:15Friends. We'll be right back at him.
27:15brand yeah she's an imbecile doesn't matter she's building her visibility her name recognition and
27:22now here we are and it's a situation where even if she you know even
27:27if she loses she wins even if she's not somebody who's able i don't disagree
27:32one of the most astute things you have said in five years with me and
27:37i can't beat it is wow no one loses by running for president yep even
27:43if you lose people know you more you make more money from speaking you end
27:47up in the cabinet whatever they it is i can't think of a guy or
27:51gal who's run for president and lost even once a guy asa hutchinson i mean
27:56he got one percent the fake ran the most preposterous presidential campaign i've ever seen
28:02in my life okay which was i love donald trump so much that i'm going
28:07to be president so that he can be my mentor he was actually saying this
28:10stuff but now he's probably going to be governor of ohio huge national recognition from
28:15this maga loved what he had to say he obviously never attacked trump so the
28:20game worked but i mean the whole thing was was like it's just like the
28:24weirdest thing i've ever seen he's up there he's like i'm running so that donald
28:27trump can mentor me it's like yeah buddy sure that's what trump wants to do
28:31he wants to not be president and let you make the decisions but he'll call
28:34you sometime it was the whole thing was like we were idiots but it worked
28:38alan in lost by the way let me just say this democrats are much more
28:45um diabolical when it comes to voting strategically to get people who can win usually
28:54and this is why we said last week or the week before whenever it happened
28:58it was not a coincidence that james tallarico was scheduled on stephen colbert's show that
29:04they canceled canceled the interview it was an op went up on youtube totally enough
29:09he made yeah 2 .4 million dollars on the day that early voting started democrats
29:15know that jasmine crockett has no chance and they want here's the other thing they
29:20want even if james tallarico loses they want republicans to have to expend substantial dollars
29:26in texas that could otherwise be spent because the money is fungible right if you
29:31have to spend in to protect your guy in texas then you don't get to
29:35spend as much in michigan or you don't get to spend as much in new
29:38hampshire or georgia where that money could end up flipping a seat you have to
29:43instead protect your own so even if tallarico loses they know that they are going
29:49to force the democrat the republicans to spend more money uh can i just tell
29:54you real quick that this is where the democrat jasmine crockett if she's gonna if
29:57she's gonna do the democrat playbook it's time for a fake hate crime it's time
30:02for like someone wrote someone wrote very bad things on the you know the door
30:07of my office or whatever like race it's racial slur time for jasmine crockett to
30:12really like fake you're right fake this week fake hate crime time is where we
30:16are right now she would break she'd raise 10 million dollars in a day and
30:20you know what when it all came out that was fake she'd be like i
30:22was just raising awareness let's move on that's it this is what i always say
30:27if being a victim of a crime is the greatest thing that could happen to
30:31you maybe we should all be a little bit more skeptical about the fact that
30:35you were a victim of crime especially if the crime is mean words if the
30:38crime is mean words like and you become a millionaire from it where you don't
30:42actually have any like if you get punched in the face like okay that sucks
30:46like getting hit in the face hurts somebody saying something mean and you get paid
30:50millions of dollars because of it and it makes you more likely to gain power
30:54we should definitely be a lot more skeptical i still think we don't talk enough
30:58about how funny the jussie smollett i was just going there the the jussie smollett
31:02documentary on netflix i know it does eventually do the like jussie says that he's
31:07still out there i mean he's oj hunting for the real killers like we all
31:09know it's it's so preposterous but the cops going through the like this is what
31:16happened thing is it couldn't be any funnier like them just sharing their recollection of
31:20like yeah so he's standing there in his own apartment still with the noose around
31:25his neck like what is that who would do that and also i mean it
31:30was wasn't it like 2 a .m on the coldest day in the in chicago
31:34and there's a couple of random dudes in maga hats supposedly who recognize jussie smollett
31:40i the one percent of trump voters have any idea at that time who jussie's
31:45they're watching empire and they're aware that he's gay and opposed to trump and they're
31:50so concerned about him that they're waiting outside but no i wouldn't stand outside in
31:54two at 2 a .m if it's cold like i i mean it's one of
31:59the funniest stories out there no human being had ever said this is maga country
32:05until jussie smollett told the cops that that's what his attacker said it's not even
32:09a thing he he knows so little about trump voters that he didn't even know
32:13how to pretend to be attacked by trump voters this is gonna be this is
32:17gonna be the first time you've ever heard me say a positive thing about the
32:20minneapolis protesters buck i wouldn't protest anything if it's zero degrees like i if it
32:28is i wouldn't watch the super bowl if you gave me tickets and it's zero

35:13operation chaos created by me 2008 get republicans in primary states where their votes no
35:20longer matter because mccain had become the nominee switch over and vote for hillary to
35:26keep the democrat race going now the media is talking about operation chaos happening in
35:32texas they're talking about happening in north carolina south carolina uh well not not south
35:36carolina it's super tuesday states and here is a columns the washington post again i
35:43was at an event last night where an experienced texas analyst said that five percent
35:51this is a huge number by the way five percent of the texas democrat early
35:55vote from people who had voted in the republican primary in the past four statewide
36:02elections 2012 through 2018 operation can republican vote if five percent five percent of the
36:11texas democrat early vote that's huge is republican voters crossing over that is a major
36:18operation chaos operation there you go rush talking operation chaos and texas no less well
36:26the data shows buck that there have been more votes cast in the democrat primary
36:31so far than the republican primary now democrats tend to early vote more uh as
36:36a standard but i i i'm feeling like based on the calls and the responses
36:42we're getting certainly there are going to be tens of thousands maybe more of uh
36:47republican voters that are out there for jasmine crockett we need to invite jasmine crockett
