We're having meetings with 15 00:00:50,479 --> 00:00:52,960 Speaker 1: variety of people while we're down here in South Florida. 16 00:00:53,080 --> 00:00:55,640 Speaker 1: One of the things that's very gratifying is there are 17 00:00:55,680 --> 00:00:59,320 Speaker 1: so many ways to reach our audience, and tens of 18 00:00:59,360 --> 00:01:03,000 Speaker 1: millions of you are subscribed in downloading the podcast every 19 00:01:03,040 --> 00:01:06,880 Speaker 1: single month, tens of millions of downloads. So we appreciate 20 00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:08,480 Speaker 1: all of you that are doing that. You can search 21 00:01:08,520 --> 00:01:12,320 Speaker 1: out Klay, Travis Buck Sexton. Also go like and subscribe 22 00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:15,840 Speaker 1: our YouTube channel, which Buck. We got some numbers on 23 00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:18,320 Speaker 1: some of the clips that we've been sharing there. Hundreds 24 00:01:18,319 --> 00:01:21,280 Speaker 1: of thousands of you have been watching some of the 25 00:01:21,319 --> 00:01:23,640 Speaker 1: clips that are going up on the Clay and Buck 26 00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:27,559 Speaker 1: YouTube channel, which we certainly are appreciative of because people 27 00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:33,479 Speaker 1: are experiencing this show so many different ways, Instagram, you 28 00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:36,760 Speaker 1: name it. And it's important to go where the audience is, 29 00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:40,480 Speaker 1: whether it's podcast, whether it's traditional radio, whether it's Instagram, 30 00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:43,080 Speaker 1: whether it's YouTube. We're everywhere. So if you type in 31 00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:46,120 Speaker 1: Clay and Buck basically on any social media platform, you 32 00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:48,120 Speaker 1: can find us. And that can be important because you 33 00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:52,200 Speaker 1: can share our content with your kids or grandkids that 34 00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:55,400 Speaker 1: may not be listening on traditional radio and may not 35 00:01:55,520 --> 00:01:58,640 Speaker 1: be willing to click through onto a podcast. Boom, here's 36 00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:01,800 Speaker 1: a YouTube link. I've said it for my fifteen, twelve 37 00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:04,800 Speaker 1: and eight year old boys watch everything on YouTube. They 38 00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:08,680 Speaker 1: don't watch traditional television, they don't listen necessarily to traditional radio. 39 00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:11,639 Speaker 1: They get everything on YouTube. You gotta go where the 40 00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:14,440 Speaker 1: audience is, and so that can be important if your parent, 41 00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:17,000 Speaker 1: grandparent out there, you hear a clip, you like it, 42 00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:19,160 Speaker 1: you want to share it and have a discussion with 43 00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:21,519 Speaker 1: your kids about something that's going on in the larger world. 44 00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:23,880 Speaker 1: We're happy to be a part of that. So we 45 00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:26,360 Speaker 1: want you to be able to find us anywhere. Buck, 46 00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:30,120 Speaker 1: We got a major controversy that's emerged in the Democrat Party, 47 00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:34,720 Speaker 1: in particular, they are not able to get a lot 48 00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:37,240 Speaker 1: of work done right now in the Senate, even though 49 00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:39,960 Speaker 1: ostensibly they have a fifty one to forty nine advantage. 50 00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:45,440 Speaker 1: Because Kirsten Cinema has now said she is independent. Senator 51 00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:49,200 Speaker 1: Joe Manchin has basically turned his back on the Democrat Party, 52 00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:52,160 Speaker 1: at least for now, as he tries to decide whether 53 00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:55,000 Speaker 1: he's going to run for reelection in West Virginia or not. 54 00:02:55,639 --> 00:02:58,440 Speaker 1: And then you have a couple of health related issues 55 00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:01,959 Speaker 1: that have been very problematic for Democrats. And I don't 56 00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:05,720 Speaker 1: know that we've discussed this enough. We certainly have mentioned 57 00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:09,120 Speaker 1: John Fetterman and the fact that he's unable to do 58 00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:11,600 Speaker 1: the job of United States senator. We told you that 59 00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:14,359 Speaker 1: for months. As part of the twenty twenty two campaign, 60 00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:17,600 Speaker 1: we had as many different people from the Pennsylvania Republican 61 00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:20,360 Speaker 1: Party on this program as we could, including doctor oz 62 00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:23,040 Speaker 1: A Ton. He won. We told you that he was 63 00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:26,079 Speaker 1: unable to do the job. What happened. He basically immediately 64 00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:28,320 Speaker 1: had to check himself into the hospitals. We hope he 65 00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:30,760 Speaker 1: ends up okay, but he's not physically able to do 66 00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:34,760 Speaker 1: this job. But Diane Feinstein, the long time I think 67 00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:39,320 Speaker 1: she's eighty nine year old senator from the state of California, 68 00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:43,400 Speaker 1: is now under fire from members of her own party. 69 00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:47,480 Speaker 1: They are telling her she needs to resign and step down. 70 00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:54,880 Speaker 1: And here is Senator Amy Klobaschar from Minnesota on discussing this, 71 00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:58,680 Speaker 1: particularly saying she needs to step down. She can't continue 72 00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:00,800 Speaker 1: because we're not able to get done in the Senate. 73 00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:02,800 Speaker 1: Listen to this. I want to see what happens in 74 00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:05,240 Speaker 1: the next month or so. You give her that time 75 00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:07,320 Speaker 1: to be able to come back. But if she can't 76 00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:10,920 Speaker 1: come back month after month after month with this close Senate, 77 00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:13,680 Speaker 1: that's not just gonna hurt California, it's going to be 78 00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:16,720 Speaker 1: an issue for the country. So we take her to 79 00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:19,320 Speaker 1: words she's coming back. Let's see what that date is 80 00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:22,000 Speaker 1: and what date she tells Center Schumer. But for now. 81 00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:24,400 Speaker 1: She really made the right decision to step aside from 82 00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:26,440 Speaker 1: the committee. As a member of the committee, I know 83 00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:29,080 Speaker 1: we have a number of judges and we have bills 84 00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:32,160 Speaker 1: legislation that we have to what we call mark up 85 00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:35,520 Speaker 1: and get through the committee. Okay. Roe Kanna, who is 86 00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:38,440 Speaker 1: also i would say somewhat of a reasonable person in 87 00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:41,120 Speaker 1: the Democrat Party, also went on television now he's in 88 00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:43,400 Speaker 1: the House of Representatives, and he said the same thing. 89 00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:46,120 Speaker 1: I don't understand why this is actually that controversial a 90 00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:48,680 Speaker 1: position or why taking some heat for it. It's a 91 00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:51,400 Speaker 1: pretty simple principle. I don't know any job in this 92 00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:54,880 Speaker 1: country where you can just not show up, have no 93 00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:58,640 Speaker 1: expectation of returning, and continue to have that job. Center 94 00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:01,400 Speaker 1: Price is at a distinct wish public service career, but 95 00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:04,400 Speaker 1: ultimately she works for the people of California, the largest 96 00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:07,480 Speaker 1: state in California. Deserves a senator who is going to 97 00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:11,760 Speaker 1: be present if the Judiciary committee's voting on judicial nominations. 98 00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:15,320 Speaker 1: All right, So Fetterman has not been present for months, 99 00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:18,080 Speaker 1: and now we've got a little bit of an internal 100 00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:22,440 Speaker 1: strife going on because Nancy Pelosi, formerly the Speaker, also 101 00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:26,800 Speaker 1: a long term Democrat member of the Congress came out 102 00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:30,920 Speaker 1: and said, Hey, this feels sexist to me. Here's Nancy Pelosi. 103 00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:33,880 Speaker 1: It's interesting to me. I don't know what political agendas 104 00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:37,520 Speaker 1: are worth that are going after Senator Feinstein in that way. 105 00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:39,920 Speaker 1: I've never seen them go after a man who was 106 00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:43,440 Speaker 1: sick in the Senate in that way. All right, buck 107 00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:48,000 Speaker 1: something here, nothing, what's going on. It's clear that the 108 00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:52,440 Speaker 1: political class in this country thinks that they are effectively 109 00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:57,799 Speaker 1: guaranteed these jobs for life, to the end of their lives. 110 00:05:57,839 --> 00:06:00,799 Speaker 1: I mean that they're supposed to be able to continue 111 00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:03,799 Speaker 1: to be in these roles. It shows you that it's 112 00:06:03,839 --> 00:06:05,960 Speaker 1: not about public service at all. I mean, it's about 113 00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:09,080 Speaker 1: Pelosi service, or it's about Feinstein service. It's about what's 114 00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:14,320 Speaker 1: best for them and their lust for power. Diane Feinstein 115 00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:18,719 Speaker 1: is a person who really needs now around the clock care. 116 00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:22,360 Speaker 1: I mean, she's somebody who is incapable of caring for 117 00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:25,880 Speaker 1: herself because she's a senior. Look, this is just a 118 00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:28,400 Speaker 1: reality of life. We're all going to that point if 119 00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:30,800 Speaker 1: we're fortunate enough to make it that long, or we're 120 00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:33,400 Speaker 1: gonna need a lot of help. But you know, we've 121 00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:36,640 Speaker 1: got the Ukraine War situation right now, we have the 122 00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:40,080 Speaker 1: possibility here of things heating up more with China and Taiwan. 123 00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:43,080 Speaker 1: We've got thirty two trillion dollars of debt, we've got 124 00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:45,920 Speaker 1: a wide open border, We've got a crime problem and 125 00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:48,200 Speaker 1: an urban decay problem in major cities. We've got a 126 00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:52,880 Speaker 1: lot of issues here. And even for you know, having 127 00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:57,040 Speaker 1: a Democrat in office, you would think they would understand 128 00:06:57,720 --> 00:06:59,560 Speaker 1: that they need to have somebody who can do the job, 129 00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:02,240 Speaker 1: the most simple of any job, the most simple of 130 00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:04,960 Speaker 1: any job possible, which is just a show up. And 131 00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:08,400 Speaker 1: I just think that right now you're seeing that they 132 00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:11,760 Speaker 1: really have a narcissism at the heart of all this. 133 00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:14,160 Speaker 1: That Feinstein and Pelosi, I mean, these are people who 134 00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:17,520 Speaker 1: are obsessed with themselves, who do not think of the country, 135 00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:20,320 Speaker 1: who do not think of what it means for people 136 00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:24,080 Speaker 1: that they're supposed to represent. They're they're you know, little 137 00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:28,560 Speaker 1: clammy fingers, will not relinquish power until they until it 138 00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:32,520 Speaker 1: is physically physiologically impossible for them, which is where we 139 00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:36,960 Speaker 1: are with Dianne Feinstein's It's both sad and gross at 140 00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:39,320 Speaker 1: the same time. It's something that shouldn't be even a 141 00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:43,280 Speaker 1: debate or discussion, but then again, I almost feel like 142 00:07:43,320 --> 00:07:46,520 Speaker 1: with Pelosi, I want to say, well, I wouldn't say 143 00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:50,080 Speaker 1: there's something sexist here, but Joe Biden is the president, 144 00:07:51,080 --> 00:07:54,000 Speaker 1: and they won't make this case about Joe Biden because 145 00:07:54,080 --> 00:07:56,800 Speaker 1: there's too much riding on that. With Feinstein, they know 146 00:07:57,400 --> 00:08:01,280 Speaker 1: she'll be replaced with a Democrat appointee from a Democrat governor, right, 147 00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:04,640 Speaker 1: you know, the power structure is unchanged, So they really 148 00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:07,360 Speaker 1: have no principles here. They just would rather have a 149 00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:11,240 Speaker 1: Democrat who can you know, dress, feed and take care 150 00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:15,120 Speaker 1: of herself or himself in the role well. And unlike 151 00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:19,360 Speaker 1: in Pennsylvania, where if Fetterman were to step down, I 152 00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:22,720 Speaker 1: believe they would have to have an emergency election to 153 00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:26,840 Speaker 1: fulfill the remainder of his term, and Democrats would have 154 00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:30,520 Speaker 1: to defend two seats in Pennsylvania in twenty twenty four, 155 00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:33,680 Speaker 1: which might be a difficult environment for them given that 156 00:08:33,760 --> 00:08:38,040 Speaker 1: they have far more seats at play. And so I 157 00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:42,240 Speaker 1: also think it's worth contemplating here we are sitting what 158 00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:45,680 Speaker 1: are we, like, eighteen months basically away from the twenty 159 00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:49,600 Speaker 1: twenty four election, when you have this many people. We 160 00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:52,120 Speaker 1: have a gerontocracy in our country right now, we have 161 00:08:52,160 --> 00:08:55,319 Speaker 1: a lot of really old seventy and eighty something year 162 00:08:55,360 --> 00:08:58,560 Speaker 1: old people in high positions of power in our government. 163 00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:01,560 Speaker 1: It's on four that we would even have to have 164 00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:05,680 Speaker 1: these discussions. But Buck, Joe Biden is in Ireland right now. 165 00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:09,360 Speaker 1: He's eighty years old. I mean, he's going to be 166 00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:12,560 Speaker 1: eighty two running for president. Just think for a second 167 00:09:12,559 --> 00:09:15,840 Speaker 1: about how there are some very very smart people right 168 00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:19,640 Speaker 1: now who were talking about AI artificial intelligence, and we 169 00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:21,240 Speaker 1: should spend a little more time, I think, in the 170 00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:23,679 Speaker 1: weeks ahead on the show, just bringing in some of 171 00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:27,480 Speaker 1: that conversation, because what had been theoretical is now feeling 172 00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:32,680 Speaker 1: more and more real. The AI, the AI technology is 173 00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:36,080 Speaker 1: getting to a place where it could be really, really useful, 174 00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:40,240 Speaker 1: but it also could start to cause some very serious problems. 175 00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:45,079 Speaker 1: I bring it up, Clay, because Joe Biden could be signing, theoretically, 176 00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:47,560 Speaker 1: especially let's say he were to win another term, which 177 00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:50,200 Speaker 1: you know, God forbid, but that could happen, he could 178 00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:54,360 Speaker 1: be signing major legislation that deals with something like artificial intelligence. 179 00:09:54,760 --> 00:09:59,480 Speaker 1: Joe Biden doesn't have simple, straightforward intelligence. The notion that 180 00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:02,920 Speaker 1: he is how going to be or any of these 181 00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:07,880 Speaker 1: particularly is very old. Members of the Senate. I mean, look, 182 00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:10,040 Speaker 1: there's it's not just on the Democrats side your point, 183 00:10:10,040 --> 00:10:15,760 Speaker 1: it's a gerontocracy Republicans as well. And you know, this 184 00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:17,480 Speaker 1: is where you when people start to push me on 185 00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:19,040 Speaker 1: this and start to say, I know he's got a 186 00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:22,400 Speaker 1: lot of energy and everything else, but you know Trump 187 00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:26,240 Speaker 1: is up there too. Age. This is why I'll just 188 00:10:26,280 --> 00:10:28,560 Speaker 1: say this for people that disagree with that, the vice 189 00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:34,080 Speaker 1: presidential pick for Trump is an important one just because 190 00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:37,440 Speaker 1: you know, you know, Trump is healthy, robust, and great 191 00:10:37,520 --> 00:10:39,480 Speaker 1: and we think Trump is a great guy who could 192 00:10:39,559 --> 00:10:42,000 Speaker 1: last another twenty or thirty years and we hope so, 193 00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:44,719 Speaker 1: but you know, he might get really sick, he might 194 00:10:44,760 --> 00:10:47,200 Speaker 1: be out for three or four months, or something could happen. 195 00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:49,439 Speaker 1: So that vice president, you know, the vice president when 196 00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:52,360 Speaker 1: the president's sixty is very different from the president's basically eighty, 197 00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:55,760 Speaker 1: you know, eighty is eighty seventy eight and eighty two 198 00:10:55,880 --> 00:10:58,800 Speaker 1: could be our election next year, seventy eight years old 199 00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:00,559 Speaker 1: and eighty two. And in the same way, if we 200 00:11:00,559 --> 00:11:05,520 Speaker 1: were having this conversation in April of twenty nineteen, the 201 00:11:05,640 --> 00:11:08,839 Speaker 1: idea that COVID was going to emerge in February and 202 00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:13,280 Speaker 1: March of twenty twenty and change everything. I just feel 203 00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:16,640 Speaker 1: like we live in an era where we spend a 204 00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:21,280 Speaker 1: lot of time focusing on expectations, and our expectation right 205 00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:23,120 Speaker 1: now would be, Hey, it's going to be a rematch 206 00:11:23,200 --> 00:11:27,640 Speaker 1: of Biden and Trump. But Biden's eighty buck if he 207 00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:31,920 Speaker 1: suddenly collapsed in the next eighteen months, and would it 208 00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:34,400 Speaker 1: stun you at all? Based on his courage healthy, can't 209 00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:38,280 Speaker 1: walk up and downstairs, he can barely speak. Biden collapsing 210 00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:40,280 Speaker 1: and I hope it doesn't happen. Obviously, would be awful 211 00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:43,480 Speaker 1: for the country anytime a president collapses and then God forbid, 212 00:11:43,559 --> 00:11:46,680 Speaker 1: Kamala Harrison's up in office. Maybe the worst idea for 213 00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:49,840 Speaker 1: VP ever, But that is a very real threat, not 214 00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:52,760 Speaker 1: only for this next eighteen months, but if he were 215 00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:55,319 Speaker 1: re elected to go to eighty six, there's no way 216 00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:57,320 Speaker 1: he wouldn't have a serious health condition. I mean, I 217 00:11:57,360 --> 00:12:01,240 Speaker 1: remember when I was very close to my maternal grandparents, 218 00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:05,080 Speaker 1: and I remember my grandfather was in that early eighties phase, 219 00:12:05,400 --> 00:12:08,040 Speaker 1: and you know, he would tell me stories sometimes about 220 00:12:08,080 --> 00:12:10,560 Speaker 1: being on the carrier and the Pacific in World War Two, 221 00:12:10,640 --> 00:12:13,120 Speaker 1: and he'd tell me about the early days of running 222 00:12:13,120 --> 00:12:16,160 Speaker 1: the concrete business in Brooklyn back in the fifties and 223 00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:18,120 Speaker 1: the forty You know, you talk to me about this stuff, 224 00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:20,559 Speaker 1: but I'd also have to go and put a blanket 225 00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:23,880 Speaker 1: over his knees and go get him, you know, drinks 226 00:12:23,880 --> 00:12:26,640 Speaker 1: and that. You know, he was not He didn't have 227 00:12:26,679 --> 00:12:28,760 Speaker 1: the same energy, did the same white tally. We're taking 228 00:12:28,760 --> 00:12:30,280 Speaker 1: care of him when I visited him, there was a 229 00:12:30,280 --> 00:12:31,920 Speaker 1: part of your taking care of him, right. The guy's 230 00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:34,240 Speaker 1: a you know, he's a he's a veteran and he 231 00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:36,200 Speaker 1: built a great business and he did really cool things, 232 00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:38,360 Speaker 1: had a big family. But he got into his eighties 233 00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:41,800 Speaker 1: and things changed. Joe Biden is there. He is in 234 00:12:41,960 --> 00:12:44,959 Speaker 1: what is he have? Seventies seven? He's eighty. He's eighty, Okay, 235 00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:47,120 Speaker 1: he's eighty. And this is why when he says things 236 00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:49,520 Speaker 1: like here, can we play clip five? I mean, this 237 00:12:49,679 --> 00:12:52,440 Speaker 1: is just this is just weird. This is Joe Biden. 238 00:12:52,520 --> 00:12:54,840 Speaker 1: I know he likes ice cream, but why is he 239 00:12:54,880 --> 00:12:58,240 Speaker 1: going saying that he's gonna go lick the world? There's 240 00:12:58,320 --> 00:13:00,640 Speaker 1: nothing in our nation's can't achieve. You do it together. 241 00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:03,480 Speaker 1: I really mean it. So thank you all, God bless 242 00:13:03,520 --> 00:13:07,000 Speaker 1: you all. Let's go. Let's go lick the world. Let's 243 00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:10,920 Speaker 1: get it done. Let's go lick the world. First of all, 244 00:13:10,960 --> 00:13:13,560 Speaker 1: the world is creeped out. And second of all, what 245 00:13:13,760 --> 00:13:15,520 Speaker 1: is he talking about? I guess you know, like in 246 00:13:15,520 --> 00:13:18,480 Speaker 1: an old school sense when you lick, like you can 247 00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:21,120 Speaker 1: really beat somebody badly, Like let's go. You know, if 248 00:13:21,120 --> 00:13:23,520 Speaker 1: you said beat the world badly, you know, like you'll 249 00:13:23,559 --> 00:13:26,880 Speaker 1: lick someone. Have you heard that phrase before? Imagine can Okay? 250 00:13:26,920 --> 00:13:29,880 Speaker 1: I know, we imagine. Imagine Trump was like, all right, everybody, 251 00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:34,959 Speaker 1: let's go lick the world. I mean you would freak out. Okay, Oh, 252 00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:37,600 Speaker 1: it's sexist. He wants to lick the world. What's going 253 00:13:37,679 --> 00:13:40,440 Speaker 1: on here? No, it's weird. And you heard him pause? 254 00:13:40,679 --> 00:13:42,360 Speaker 1: Play that one more time? And I just want this 255 00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:46,839 Speaker 1: is what happens way too regularly with Biden. Is he pauses. 256 00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:50,160 Speaker 1: He doesn't know what's coming next. You can tell that 257 00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:52,320 Speaker 1: he's a little bit panic. Just listen to this. There's 258 00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:54,720 Speaker 1: nothing in our nations can't achieve if we do it together. 259 00:13:54,800 --> 00:13:57,560 Speaker 1: I really mean it. So thank you all, God bless 260 00:13:57,600 --> 00:14:01,880 Speaker 1: you all. Let's go. Let's go. I mean, he just 261 00:14:01,880 --> 00:14:04,480 Speaker 1: doesn't the end of these speeches buck when it goes 262 00:14:04,559 --> 00:14:07,400 Speaker 1: off prompting. When he goes extemp is when the train 263 00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:09,800 Speaker 1: goes off the tracks and he's trying to think like, 264 00:14:09,880 --> 00:14:12,000 Speaker 1: let's go kick the world's ass or whatever. I mean. 265 00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:15,960 Speaker 1: The fact I've said this for a long time. If Buck, 266 00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:18,200 Speaker 1: if you and I were out for a day and 267 00:14:18,400 --> 00:14:22,560 Speaker 1: Joe Biden hosted this show, his political career would be over. 268 00:14:22,640 --> 00:14:25,400 Speaker 1: It would be must listen radio. I would, it would 269 00:14:25,400 --> 00:14:29,120 Speaker 1: be I would, It would be riveting. Can you imagine 270 00:14:29,120 --> 00:14:32,160 Speaker 1: Biden trying to do ad reads getting it out of commercials? 271 00:14:32,520 --> 00:14:35,480 Speaker 1: If he did this show one day by himself for 272 00:14:35,520 --> 00:14:38,280 Speaker 1: three hours, his political career would be over. I will say, 273 00:14:38,360 --> 00:14:40,320 Speaker 1: and this is we try to be very fair about 274 00:14:40,360 --> 00:14:44,000 Speaker 1: all this stuff. Trump, for all of his time as 275 00:14:44,080 --> 00:14:46,960 Speaker 1: president and obviously when he was running, was able to 276 00:14:47,520 --> 00:14:51,680 Speaker 1: not only go off script and extemporaneously show you know, 277 00:14:51,800 --> 00:14:55,360 Speaker 1: vitality focused everything else, but be clever and entertaining, which 278 00:14:55,440 --> 00:14:58,000 Speaker 1: is really hard to do. Now. He had had decades 279 00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:00,480 Speaker 1: of practice as an entertainer and as a media guy, 280 00:15:00,600 --> 00:15:03,360 Speaker 1: but he there was never a moment where Trump sort 281 00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:07,680 Speaker 1: of this show. Trump could host the show. He wrote out, 282 00:15:07,720 --> 00:15:09,400 Speaker 1: I mean, you know, now he's probably gonna call and 283 00:15:09,480 --> 00:15:12,760 Speaker 1: be like I'm hosting guys, but Biden, I mean buck, 284 00:15:12,960 --> 00:15:15,880 Speaker 1: if he did three hours one day and everybody could 285 00:15:15,960 --> 00:15:17,920 Speaker 1: listen to him, try to do a three hour think 286 00:15:17,960 --> 00:15:20,440 Speaker 1: he'd get deeper than thirty minutes before he'd be too tired, 287 00:15:20,520 --> 00:15:22,920 Speaker 1: and before things would start to get weird. Honestly, before 288 00:15:22,920 --> 00:15:25,000 Speaker 1: it would just start to be I mean, I think 289 00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:27,800 Speaker 1: his political career would be over if we gave him 290 00:15:27,800 --> 00:15:31,480 Speaker 1: one day shake care? Well, do they care? Would they would? 291 00:15:31,480 --> 00:15:34,800 Speaker 1: The Democrats if they could legal and constitutionally, you know, 292 00:15:35,360 --> 00:15:38,080 Speaker 1: have the equivalent of a child king as president. They 293 00:15:38,120 --> 00:15:41,360 Speaker 1: love little Gretto when she was running around talking about change, 294 00:15:41,400 --> 00:15:43,680 Speaker 1: I think they would do it. The Federman example is 295 00:15:43,720 --> 00:15:46,320 Speaker 1: one that is scary because anybody who watched that, uh 296 00:15:46,480 --> 00:15:49,680 Speaker 1: that debate, that's the single worst performance that any candidates 297 00:15:49,680 --> 00:15:52,240 Speaker 1: ever had in a televised debate. And didn't But they 298 00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:57,080 Speaker 1: also Pennsylvania Democrat Party outplayed the GOP there getting those 299 00:15:57,160 --> 00:16:00,040 Speaker 1: votes in.

Thirty dollars is their monthly price for 341 00:18:07,080 --> 00:18:10,399 Speaker 1: unlimited talk, text and plenty of high speed data. That's great, 342 00:18:10,440 --> 00:18:13,080 Speaker 1: five G nationwide service and one of the same networks 343 00:18:13,080 --> 00:18:15,119 Speaker 1: and same towers as one of the better known companies 344 00:18:15,119 --> 00:18:18,520 Speaker 1: in the cell phone industry.

Pure Talk is an 348 00:18:29,840 --> 00:18:33,040 Speaker 1: American company creating American jobs. Their customer service team is 349 00:18:33,040 --> 00:18:35,240 Speaker 1: one hundred percent base in the US.

Welcome back in Friday edition. Clay Travis 359 00:19:02,840 --> 00:19:06,600 Speaker 1: Buck Sexton show in studio with us right now, as 360 00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:10,040 Speaker 1: we teased as we went to break, I'm still alive, 361 00:19:10,200 --> 00:19:12,080 Speaker 1: but if I disappear, you know who to look at. 362 00:19:12,080 --> 00:19:16,320 Speaker 1: Two as the potential suspects, we have a very particular set. Yeah, 363 00:19:16,359 --> 00:19:18,000 Speaker 1: I know, I know. We got a couple of former 364 00:19:18,040 --> 00:19:20,160 Speaker 1: CIA guys, and here Brian Dean Wright is with us. 365 00:19:20,160 --> 00:19:23,040 Speaker 1: His podcast is the Right Report. Encourage all of you 366 00:19:23,119 --> 00:19:24,840 Speaker 1: to check that out. So I just want to start 367 00:19:24,840 --> 00:19:26,960 Speaker 1: with this question because I'm curious. I don't know how 368 00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:30,280 Speaker 1: did you guys meet? Well, we can see is as 369 00:19:30,320 --> 00:19:33,000 Speaker 1: a smaller world. I mean, there are many of us. 370 00:19:33,119 --> 00:19:35,000 Speaker 1: Your Mike's not We gotta get his mic on. Actually, 371 00:19:35,040 --> 00:19:37,280 Speaker 1: hold on a second, I think it's on. Now we 372 00:19:37,359 --> 00:19:40,560 Speaker 1: got you, this is he's in studio. I'm just gonna 373 00:19:40,600 --> 00:19:45,760 Speaker 1: say the analyst over here, mister, mister former operations guy, 374 00:19:46,760 --> 00:19:48,760 Speaker 1: all the tech stuff. I'm just a knuckle dragger. Come 375 00:19:48,760 --> 00:19:51,400 Speaker 1: on now, Mike is still not all right, I'll keep 376 00:19:51,440 --> 00:19:54,639 Speaker 1: talking while Buck figures this out. This is uh an 377 00:19:54,680 --> 00:19:59,560 Speaker 1: an incredible uh situation. Here we got two brilliant CIA 378 00:19:59,600 --> 00:20:02,639 Speaker 1: agents and the two of them combine. Can I This 379 00:20:02,720 --> 00:20:04,520 Speaker 1: is like when you ask the question how many CI 380 00:20:04,600 --> 00:20:07,040 Speaker 1: agents does it take to change a light bulb? Two 381 00:20:07,080 --> 00:20:10,000 Speaker 1: and somebody else to hire them. I'm literally I love 382 00:20:10,080 --> 00:20:12,720 Speaker 1: my CI brothers so much that as co host I'm 383 00:20:12,760 --> 00:20:14,720 Speaker 1: handing over my mic to him. So he can answer 384 00:20:14,760 --> 00:20:17,400 Speaker 1: your question. Go ahead. So where did you guys initially meet? 385 00:20:17,520 --> 00:20:19,360 Speaker 1: That's the question that I just asked. Yeah. So look, 386 00:20:19,520 --> 00:20:22,520 Speaker 1: the Intel community is very small, and I think those 387 00:20:22,560 --> 00:20:25,440 Speaker 1: of us who leave, we typically go into shadows. But 388 00:20:25,520 --> 00:20:26,640 Speaker 1: I think there are some of us who I think 389 00:20:26,680 --> 00:20:29,879 Speaker 1: I feel called to continue to inform the world about 390 00:20:29,920 --> 00:20:32,240 Speaker 1: what's going on, you know, our country, yes, domestic affairs, 391 00:20:32,280 --> 00:20:35,280 Speaker 1: but also internationally. And I think obviously my brother here 392 00:20:35,359 --> 00:20:37,600 Speaker 1: has done that. And so I'm proud to say I 393 00:20:37,800 --> 00:20:39,760 Speaker 1: know this guy. He's a good man. I said this, 394 00:20:39,760 --> 00:20:41,960 Speaker 1: Buck to you once before. I was at the Alabama 395 00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:44,840 Speaker 1: Texas A and M game and the game had just 396 00:20:44,960 --> 00:20:47,160 Speaker 1: ended and this guy came down. He shook my hand, 397 00:20:47,160 --> 00:20:49,840 Speaker 1: he said, tell Buck, I knew him in the agency. 398 00:20:49,960 --> 00:20:51,879 Speaker 1: And I was like, well, where did this guy come from? 399 00:20:51,920 --> 00:20:53,440 Speaker 1: You know, I'm just standing in the middle of Brian 400 00:20:53,520 --> 00:20:57,560 Speaker 1: Denny Stadium day. Someone's gonna teach you the I'm jealous out. 401 00:20:57,800 --> 00:21:01,000 Speaker 1: So when you guys see now, Buck, like the way 402 00:21:01,040 --> 00:21:03,760 Speaker 1: that the agency has changed since you left. We were 403 00:21:03,760 --> 00:21:05,919 Speaker 1: just talking about this off air, but I think a 404 00:21:05,920 --> 00:21:08,639 Speaker 1: lot of people would be super curious about this. You know, 405 00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:12,280 Speaker 1: what has happened inside the CIA back when Buck and 406 00:21:12,359 --> 00:21:16,159 Speaker 1: I worked there, it was centrally focused on the mission 407 00:21:16,400 --> 00:21:19,919 Speaker 1: right putting in ensuring that America was protected. That was 408 00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:22,760 Speaker 1: the only reason we were hired. And I'm sure Buck 409 00:21:22,760 --> 00:21:24,920 Speaker 1: can talk about this as well, but it was post 410 00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:27,760 Speaker 1: on eleven, we had just been attacked. Everybody was focused 411 00:21:27,840 --> 00:21:31,800 Speaker 1: on ensuring that the country was safe. Now things have changed, 412 00:21:32,359 --> 00:21:34,560 Speaker 1: so I have lots of stories. I'm sure Buck knows 413 00:21:34,680 --> 00:21:37,080 Speaker 1: these as well. But we've out officers who are there 414 00:21:37,160 --> 00:21:39,679 Speaker 1: who talked very proudfully about the fact that they are, 415 00:21:39,720 --> 00:21:41,840 Speaker 1: for instance, black, and they want to create black only 416 00:21:41,880 --> 00:21:44,080 Speaker 1: groups or you have to be a black officer. I'm 417 00:21:44,080 --> 00:21:45,760 Speaker 1: not sure how they prove that when you walk in, 418 00:21:45,800 --> 00:21:48,160 Speaker 1: like what skin color you have exactly, But the point 419 00:21:48,280 --> 00:21:50,720 Speaker 1: is that we have that. We've got transgender folks who 420 00:21:50,960 --> 00:21:53,440 Speaker 1: talk about violence when they see Trump bumper stickers, and 421 00:21:53,480 --> 00:21:56,040 Speaker 1: they wanted to have those not only those stickers out, 422 00:21:56,040 --> 00:21:59,760 Speaker 1: but those those other employees removed from the agency. So 423 00:22:00,040 --> 00:22:03,760 Speaker 1: if that's true, and we have that degree of politics 424 00:22:03,840 --> 00:22:07,760 Speaker 1: now within our operators into our analysts, that's a big 425 00:22:07,800 --> 00:22:11,600 Speaker 1: problem just generally speaking, But moreover, what's happening into the 426 00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:15,679 Speaker 1: analysis is that being politicized as well, yes, that's a 427 00:22:15,720 --> 00:22:18,560 Speaker 1: bad deal. The answer is definitely yes. About I want 428 00:22:18,560 --> 00:22:20,399 Speaker 1: to ask you, you know, we started off in the 429 00:22:20,400 --> 00:22:24,199 Speaker 1: first hour of the show talking about the leak of 430 00:22:24,200 --> 00:22:27,240 Speaker 1: this information, and I tried to lay it out yesterday 431 00:22:27,280 --> 00:22:29,159 Speaker 1: for everybody that it seemed to me like this was 432 00:22:29,240 --> 00:22:32,000 Speaker 1: someone who was trying to show off to his friends. 433 00:22:32,320 --> 00:22:34,600 Speaker 1: Some people on the right, including some of my favorite 434 00:22:34,600 --> 00:22:37,720 Speaker 1: people on the right in the commentary space, are saying 435 00:22:37,720 --> 00:22:41,280 Speaker 1: that this guy is a whistleblower. I'm open to if 436 00:22:41,280 --> 00:22:44,800 Speaker 1: there's more information or proof of that, fine, But sharing 437 00:22:44,800 --> 00:22:47,080 Speaker 1: a bunch of super secret stuff with your buddies on 438 00:22:47,119 --> 00:22:49,639 Speaker 1: a chat and nobody else, and then they share it 439 00:22:49,680 --> 00:22:51,840 Speaker 1: with someone, and then they share it with someone those 440 00:22:51,840 --> 00:22:53,440 Speaker 1: are not the actions as I can see it, of 441 00:22:53,440 --> 00:22:55,320 Speaker 1: a whistleblower. Am I missing something? And what do you 442 00:22:55,359 --> 00:22:58,280 Speaker 1: say to people? Say, oh, two CIA students see it 443 00:22:58,359 --> 00:23:00,560 Speaker 1: the same way what a shocker glow in the show 444 00:23:00,640 --> 00:23:03,880 Speaker 1: is glowing today is very fatty. Look, I think you're 445 00:23:04,119 --> 00:23:06,119 Speaker 1: right to say, we don't yet know. I think what 446 00:23:06,520 --> 00:23:08,439 Speaker 1: I think where people are coming from on that is 447 00:23:08,920 --> 00:23:12,119 Speaker 1: so many folks don't trust the intelligence community for good reason, 448 00:23:12,440 --> 00:23:14,840 Speaker 1: and they don't trust the current president for good reason, 449 00:23:15,200 --> 00:23:18,800 Speaker 1: and so when they see something like this, the reflex is, hey, 450 00:23:18,840 --> 00:23:21,200 Speaker 1: I bet they're just targeting this guy because he's a whistleblower. 451 00:23:21,280 --> 00:23:23,320 Speaker 1: And that's not necessarily an unreasonable place to want to 452 00:23:23,320 --> 00:23:25,400 Speaker 1: start off, because of the history of the last couple 453 00:23:25,440 --> 00:23:27,479 Speaker 1: of years. But I do think that we have to 454 00:23:27,480 --> 00:23:29,040 Speaker 1: just take a little bit of a pause to say, 455 00:23:29,320 --> 00:23:31,920 Speaker 1: all right, we don't have enough information and we know 456 00:23:31,720 --> 00:23:33,879 Speaker 1: you know some yet, which would suggest that he was 457 00:23:33,880 --> 00:23:35,679 Speaker 1: just a guy bragging, which, by the way, Buck, you 458 00:23:35,680 --> 00:23:38,320 Speaker 1: and I both know inside the CIA, you're not even 459 00:23:38,359 --> 00:23:40,639 Speaker 1: supposed to do that with your friends. We compartment our 460 00:23:40,680 --> 00:23:42,560 Speaker 1: operations and we don't talk about it enough. If I'm 461 00:23:42,600 --> 00:23:44,520 Speaker 1: working on Cuba stuff and you're working on Russia stuff, 462 00:23:44,520 --> 00:23:46,679 Speaker 1: we don't tell you. It's a big to call it 463 00:23:46,720 --> 00:23:49,560 Speaker 1: a faux pause, too general, too gentle. You're not supposed 464 00:23:49,560 --> 00:23:52,160 Speaker 1: to do that at all. Yeah, but it does occasionally happen, 465 00:23:52,200 --> 00:23:54,399 Speaker 1: and if it does, like you get in bay big trouble. 466 00:23:54,440 --> 00:23:56,360 Speaker 1: But the point is there is this sort of itch 467 00:23:56,640 --> 00:23:59,239 Speaker 1: amongst some folks in the Intel community to do that, 468 00:23:59,280 --> 00:24:01,480 Speaker 1: to share, and I get it. But now we have 469 00:24:01,560 --> 00:24:05,280 Speaker 1: this very young man who isn't necessarily baptized in the fires. 470 00:24:05,320 --> 00:24:07,240 Speaker 1: Yet he's twenty twenty one, twenty two, whatever he is. 471 00:24:07,240 --> 00:24:09,600 Speaker 1: He's a young man, and people do stupid things when 472 00:24:09,600 --> 00:24:12,520 Speaker 1: they're young, generally speaking, and this kid's not going to 473 00:24:12,560 --> 00:24:14,960 Speaker 1: be an exception. Problem is he's got access to a 474 00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:18,280 Speaker 1: bunch of information they shouldn't have been. People keep asking me, 475 00:24:18,520 --> 00:24:21,560 Speaker 1: we're speaking to Briantean, right, former CI operations officer. I'm 476 00:24:21,560 --> 00:24:25,240 Speaker 1: Buck Sexton, former CI analysis officer, and this is Clay Travis, 477 00:24:25,240 --> 00:24:28,720 Speaker 1: who's wearing a Hawaiian shirt. And uh and I'll just say, 478 00:24:29,200 --> 00:24:32,679 Speaker 1: you know, people keep asking me, how is it that 479 00:24:32,760 --> 00:24:34,520 Speaker 1: he could have this access. I'm like, once you get 480 00:24:34,560 --> 00:24:37,280 Speaker 1: the clearance, that's the clearance, right, there's not a special 481 00:24:37,359 --> 00:24:40,720 Speaker 1: I'm over forty ts clearance, So wisdom does not necessarily 482 00:24:40,720 --> 00:24:43,320 Speaker 1: come along with the clearance level. But a lot of 483 00:24:43,359 --> 00:24:45,159 Speaker 1: people I know are looking at this and they're saying, 484 00:24:45,480 --> 00:24:48,560 Speaker 1: we'll hold on a second. The information here about the 485 00:24:48,680 --> 00:24:51,280 Speaker 1: Ukraine War, some of it is very important for the 486 00:24:51,320 --> 00:24:55,439 Speaker 1: American people too, know, notably that it's not going as 487 00:24:55,440 --> 00:24:58,359 Speaker 1: well for Ukraine as the media is leading us to believe. 488 00:24:58,760 --> 00:25:01,720 Speaker 1: What is your assessment of that, both in terms of 489 00:25:01,720 --> 00:25:04,520 Speaker 1: the impact here in America of us knowing and what's 490 00:25:04,520 --> 00:25:06,280 Speaker 1: actually happening on the ground in Ukraine. I know you 491 00:25:06,320 --> 00:25:08,880 Speaker 1: follow this closely. Yeah, well look, let's be honest. So 492 00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:11,960 Speaker 1: on my podcast, The Right Report, we talk about domestic stuff, 493 00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:14,600 Speaker 1: but a lot of international stuff. Ukraine has been the huge, 494 00:25:14,720 --> 00:25:18,400 Speaker 1: huge focus. And I will tell you what everything indicates 495 00:25:18,480 --> 00:25:21,680 Speaker 1: is that Ukraine is not doing as well publicly right, 496 00:25:21,680 --> 00:25:23,600 Speaker 1: that we actually do have some some signals out there 497 00:25:23,640 --> 00:25:26,840 Speaker 1: this as the Ukraine is suffering dramatically. In fact, there 498 00:25:26,920 --> 00:25:30,719 Speaker 1: was one brigader general I believe, who acknowledged that he 499 00:25:30,760 --> 00:25:33,560 Speaker 1: had a unit with one hundred percent losses, right, So 500 00:25:33,600 --> 00:25:35,680 Speaker 1: one hundred percent of the men have had to be replaced. 501 00:25:35,960 --> 00:25:38,200 Speaker 1: So we're seeing that in lots of places throughout Ukraine. 502 00:25:38,240 --> 00:25:40,600 Speaker 1: The issue fundamentally is Russia's got more people to pull 503 00:25:40,720 --> 00:25:44,120 Speaker 1: from back in their home country. So that's the first part, 504 00:25:44,359 --> 00:25:46,080 Speaker 1: and in the second, we are dumping a whole bunch 505 00:25:46,119 --> 00:25:48,639 Speaker 1: of money into this war, one hundred and thirteen billion 506 00:25:48,640 --> 00:25:52,119 Speaker 1: plus now committed. Russia will not walk away from this 507 00:25:52,160 --> 00:25:54,480 Speaker 1: because Putin knows that he's dead. All the guys around 508 00:25:54,560 --> 00:25:56,479 Speaker 1: him are dead too if they lose this. So this 509 00:25:56,560 --> 00:25:59,040 Speaker 1: is an all in proposition. But I think that the 510 00:25:59,119 --> 00:26:02,320 Speaker 1: leaks show and that if folks out there are watching this, 511 00:26:02,880 --> 00:26:05,960 Speaker 1: we are at war with Russia. That's the truth. We 512 00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:07,600 Speaker 1: have boots on the ground and I will tell you. 513 00:26:07,640 --> 00:26:10,200 Speaker 1: I'm sure you all know this as well. Our special 514 00:26:10,240 --> 00:26:12,800 Speaker 1: Forces operators have been there for a long time doing 515 00:26:12,880 --> 00:26:15,280 Speaker 1: lots of squirrely things. So in other words, we are 516 00:26:15,280 --> 00:26:17,560 Speaker 1: going to have some body bags coming home from Ukraine. 517 00:26:17,600 --> 00:26:20,080 Speaker 1: We probably already have, and I think it's important for 518 00:26:20,119 --> 00:26:22,560 Speaker 1: us to debate that, to talk about it. To hide 519 00:26:22,560 --> 00:26:26,200 Speaker 1: that I think is wrong. Now, let's see what happens 520 00:26:26,200 --> 00:26:28,560 Speaker 1: with these leaks and see to what extent of forces 521 00:26:28,600 --> 00:26:31,760 Speaker 1: a conversation. But things are not going well in Ukraine 522 00:26:31,840 --> 00:26:35,159 Speaker 1: for the Ukraine, the Kraine people, the horses, and the 523 00:26:35,200 --> 00:26:38,600 Speaker 1: West US. I would like to hear from both of 524 00:26:38,640 --> 00:26:41,240 Speaker 1: you guys on this. And we're talking to Brian Dean Wright, 525 00:26:41,359 --> 00:26:44,399 Speaker 1: formerly with the CIA, in studio with us here in 526 00:26:44,520 --> 00:26:48,479 Speaker 1: South Florida. You talked about how the culture has changed. 527 00:26:48,600 --> 00:26:50,800 Speaker 1: You've talked for a while Buck about how the CIA 528 00:26:50,880 --> 00:26:53,080 Speaker 1: culture has changed compared to when you joined to try 529 00:26:53,119 --> 00:26:55,960 Speaker 1: to go get Ben Lauden after nine to eleven. How 530 00:26:56,000 --> 00:26:59,480 Speaker 1: do you fix a broken culture in the CIA. I'll 531 00:26:59,520 --> 00:27:01,960 Speaker 1: let you art, Brian, like, what in your mind to 532 00:27:02,040 --> 00:27:05,080 Speaker 1: make the country safer and fix the culture that exists 533 00:27:05,119 --> 00:27:07,879 Speaker 1: there now that is generationally I think it's fair to 534 00:27:07,880 --> 00:27:10,560 Speaker 1: say declined. What should happen? How would you fix it? 535 00:27:10,760 --> 00:27:13,560 Speaker 1: You have to have a different president who understands the problem, 536 00:27:13,600 --> 00:27:16,600 Speaker 1: who then appoints a different CIA director who takes a 537 00:27:16,640 --> 00:27:21,320 Speaker 1: blowtorch to that place and just starts firing people. You 538 00:27:21,320 --> 00:27:23,960 Speaker 1: start with the HR departments, you work all the way 539 00:27:23,960 --> 00:27:27,200 Speaker 1: through the Department of Analysis. A lot of the folks, 540 00:27:27,240 --> 00:27:29,120 Speaker 1: a lot of the politics I've seen or in that 541 00:27:29,160 --> 00:27:32,199 Speaker 1: area can speak to that. I'll tell the operators are 542 00:27:32,240 --> 00:27:35,679 Speaker 1: becoming increasingly politicized as well. You start just firing people, 543 00:27:35,720 --> 00:27:37,760 Speaker 1: and there's a lot of internal documents, by the way, 544 00:27:37,760 --> 00:27:40,200 Speaker 1: that you can scan through very quickly, through emails and 545 00:27:40,480 --> 00:27:43,400 Speaker 1: such that show that degree of bias. You can clean 546 00:27:43,440 --> 00:27:45,560 Speaker 1: the place up. The bigger question is do we want 547 00:27:45,600 --> 00:27:48,200 Speaker 1: to to what extent does the ICY or the intelligence 548 00:27:48,240 --> 00:27:51,640 Speaker 1: community actually provide value completely blue in Afghanistan in terms 549 00:27:51,680 --> 00:27:54,520 Speaker 1: of that assessment, But different leadership is bottom line. It's 550 00:27:54,520 --> 00:27:56,560 Speaker 1: going to seize the mic back from my friend here 551 00:27:56,600 --> 00:27:59,960 Speaker 1: to say that was an excellent answer, and I entire 552 00:28:00,119 --> 00:28:03,040 Speaker 1: the co sign on it. Good job Operations officer. What 553 00:28:03,080 --> 00:28:05,159 Speaker 1: they say about you guys with the not so much reading, 554 00:28:05,320 --> 00:28:08,080 Speaker 1: not true, not true. You guys do a lot of 555 00:28:08,080 --> 00:28:11,320 Speaker 1: the reading. This is what the analysis nerds. There's a 556 00:28:11,400 --> 00:28:15,359 Speaker 1: lot of interagency smack talking. For those of you who 557 00:28:15,440 --> 00:28:18,360 Speaker 1: don't don't know that up front. Brian Dean, Right, everybody, Brian, 558 00:28:18,400 --> 00:28:20,760 Speaker 1: where should they go for the podcast to check it out? 559 00:28:20,840 --> 00:28:28,359 Speaker 1: It's the right the w r ight Okay, the right report, 560 00:28:28,400 --> 00:28:30,959 Speaker 1: Go go go check it out.

I mean I heard a rumor that he 625 00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:43,160 Speaker 1: was showing up every day to the radio studio in 626 00:31:43,240 --> 00:31:46,520 Speaker 1: Tennessee on a little lime green vespa. I mean, these 627 00:31:46,520 --> 00:31:48,880 Speaker 1: are the stories there with a sweater tight around his shoulders. 628 00:31:49,240 --> 00:31:51,280 Speaker 1: This is just what I hear from my sources. I 629 00:31:51,320 --> 00:31:53,360 Speaker 1: don't know, you know, a couple of weeks in Italy 630 00:31:53,400 --> 00:31:56,160 Speaker 1: and this is what happens Italian food, I had said, 631 00:31:56,280 --> 00:31:59,480 Speaker 1: has Italy is the number one travel foreign travel destination 632 00:31:59,520 --> 00:32:02,760 Speaker 1: that America love. Yes, most commons obviously Canada and Mexico, 633 00:32:02,840 --> 00:32:05,120 Speaker 1: but Italy is the one that everyone loves the most. 634 00:32:05,600 --> 00:32:08,720 Speaker 1: I had assumed that a foreign cuisine, and I'm a 635 00:32:08,760 --> 00:32:11,320 Speaker 1: guy who loves food unfortunate little too much. I had 636 00:32:11,320 --> 00:32:14,120 Speaker 1: assumed that Italian cuisine would just always be number one 637 00:32:14,160 --> 00:32:17,719 Speaker 1: among Americans of the food choices. But Clay tells me 638 00:32:17,760 --> 00:32:22,200 Speaker 1: he has this, this breaking news that another cuisine has 639 00:32:22,320 --> 00:32:25,680 Speaker 1: outpaced Italian as of today. It is it is a 640 00:32:25,720 --> 00:32:27,760 Speaker 1: moment to mark in the calendars. I don't know what 641 00:32:27,800 --> 00:32:30,320 Speaker 1: it is, Clay, what is it? I saw it this 642 00:32:30,360 --> 00:32:33,880 Speaker 1: morning and I thought, oh, this is interesting. Mexican food 643 00:32:34,440 --> 00:32:38,440 Speaker 1: is now more popular in America than Italian food, and 644 00:32:39,080 --> 00:32:43,520 Speaker 1: Chinese food is about to pass over Italian food as well. 645 00:32:43,600 --> 00:32:46,760 Speaker 1: Now I like you know this, I like everything. If 646 00:32:46,800 --> 00:32:48,520 Speaker 1: you told me, hey, you can have Italian, you can 647 00:32:48,560 --> 00:32:51,360 Speaker 1: have tex mex you can have Chinese.

Yeah, and we just we're gonna post 653 00:33:07,120 --> 00:33:09,120 Speaker 1: a picture, And I'm gonna get ridiculed for this as 654 00:33:09,160 --> 00:33:12,960 Speaker 1: well because I made the choice to get the peacock drink. 655 00:33:13,600 --> 00:33:15,920 Speaker 1: I'm also you thought it. Probably I was joking when 656 00:33:15,920 --> 00:33:17,960 Speaker 1: I said, Hey, do I need to bring a jacket, 657 00:33:18,000 --> 00:33:20,760 Speaker 1: meaning like a suit jacket for anything that we're doing 658 00:33:20,800 --> 00:33:22,760 Speaker 1: down here, because we're about to run out when we 659 00:33:22,800 --> 00:33:25,520 Speaker 1: finished this show, We'll go do our friend Dave Rubin show. 660 00:33:25,840 --> 00:33:28,040 Speaker 1: But I just got a picture taken with two former 661 00:33:28,120 --> 00:33:32,400 Speaker 1: CIA agents in a legitimate Hawaiian shirt.

Yeah, 663 00:33:35,880 --> 00:33:38,680 Speaker 1: I only brought Hawaiian shirts. I only brought one pair 664 00:33:38,680 --> 00:33:40,920 Speaker 1: of pants. Like, if the flights don't take off, I 665 00:33:40,960 --> 00:33:42,920 Speaker 1: don't know what I'm gonna be able to do. But yeah, 666 00:33:42,960 --> 00:33:46,600 Speaker 1: that surprised me that Mexican food and Chinese food are 667 00:33:46,680 --> 00:33:49,560 Speaker 1: poised to both pass Italian because I think if you 668 00:33:49,680 --> 00:33:52,160 Speaker 1: had to pick, if you didn't know what people liked 669 00:33:53,080 --> 00:33:56,200 Speaker 1: and you just had to pick one foreign food as 670 00:33:56,280 --> 00:33:59,560 Speaker 1: the staple. I was thinking about this after I saw 671 00:33:59,560 --> 00:34:02,000 Speaker 1: the data. I was probably like, I'd probably pick Mexican. 672 00:34:02,880 --> 00:34:04,560 Speaker 1: What about you, like if you if you had to 673 00:34:04,560 --> 00:34:07,080 Speaker 1: pick and you didn't know. It's the same way that 674 00:34:07,120 --> 00:34:09,359 Speaker 1: I said I ridiculed bud Light, because if you were 675 00:34:09,360 --> 00:34:11,239 Speaker 1: at a bar and you just went to get a 676 00:34:11,280 --> 00:34:13,360 Speaker 1: drink and you didn't know, and you were just grabbing 677 00:34:13,400 --> 00:34:15,480 Speaker 1: a beer, a lot of people would generically before this 678 00:34:15,560 --> 00:34:18,920 Speaker 1: stupid Dylan milvanything would have gotten bud Light. I'd probably 679 00:34:18,920 --> 00:34:20,840 Speaker 1: say Mexican food is the way if I was in 680 00:34:21,040 --> 00:34:22,839 Speaker 1: if I was in a contest, and I think I've 681 00:34:22,880 --> 00:34:25,040 Speaker 1: been in this contest far too many weekends already, if 682 00:34:25,080 --> 00:34:29,239 Speaker 1: it wasn't official of putting away the most possible calories 683 00:34:29,400 --> 00:34:33,719 Speaker 1: in one meal, right, doing the most metabolic damage in 684 00:34:33,800 --> 00:34:37,440 Speaker 1: one meal, I mean, for me, it would go in. 685 00:34:37,680 --> 00:34:43,520 Speaker 1: It would go in order, um, Mexican, Chinese, probably barbecue 686 00:34:43,600 --> 00:34:46,560 Speaker 1: after that, because barbecue a lot of protein, so it's filling. 687 00:34:46,719 --> 00:34:48,520 Speaker 1: It's not that I that's not That's not what I 688 00:34:48,560 --> 00:34:50,279 Speaker 1: liked the most. I just mean what I'll eat the most, 689 00:34:50,320 --> 00:34:54,040 Speaker 1: like volume of I I can eat Chinese and Mexican 690 00:34:54,080 --> 00:34:56,799 Speaker 1: food until I basically explode. So I don't know what 691 00:34:56,800 --> 00:34:58,520 Speaker 1: it is they put in it, so I can I 692 00:34:58,560 --> 00:35:00,400 Speaker 1: can respect that. But you know, Mexican food there's a 693 00:35:00,480 --> 00:35:02,640 Speaker 1: huge there's much more range than a lot of a 694 00:35:02,680 --> 00:35:04,759 Speaker 1: lot of people realize, right, I mean you have sort 695 00:35:04,760 --> 00:35:06,960 Speaker 1: of the text mex stuff.
