1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:04,360 Speaker 1: Welcome in everybody. Thursday edition of the Clay Travis and 2 00:00:04,440 --> 00:00:08,119 Speaker 1: Buck Sexton Show, known to many as Clay and Buck, 3 00:00:09,480 --> 00:00:12,280 Speaker 1: that starts right now, and we got so much to 4 00:00:12,280 --> 00:00:13,760 Speaker 1: get to. Let me just give you a little bit 5 00:00:13,760 --> 00:00:15,480 Speaker 1: of an outline before we dive into all the biggest 6 00:00:15,480 --> 00:00:18,840 Speaker 1: stories today. Uncle Bill Bill O'Reilly joining us hour two. 7 00:00:19,760 --> 00:00:21,720 Speaker 1: Talk to him about how this whole Iran war thing 8 00:00:21,800 --> 00:00:25,919 Speaker 1: is going and the Save Act, Save America Act. Have 9 00:00:26,040 --> 00:00:31,160 Speaker 1: that discussion. Senator Eric Schmidt will be with us, and 10 00:00:31,240 --> 00:00:34,280 Speaker 1: we will also have Senator John Cornyn with us. I 11 00:00:34,320 --> 00:00:36,479 Speaker 1: would say to any of you who have we have 12 00:00:36,520 --> 00:00:40,200 Speaker 1: a lot of Texans who listen Texas or California. Well 13 00:00:40,200 --> 00:00:42,239 Speaker 1: those are the two biggest states by population, so it's 14 00:00:42,280 --> 00:00:45,080 Speaker 1: not really that surprising, but it's either Texas or California 15 00:00:45,159 --> 00:00:48,120 Speaker 1: is our biggest state for listenership. So we have a 16 00:00:48,120 --> 00:00:51,600 Speaker 1: lot of Texans, and we love all of you. Not 17 00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:54,880 Speaker 1: all of you are huge Cornin fans. Some of you 18 00:00:54,920 --> 00:00:59,200 Speaker 1: perhaps are. Send us your questions for Senator Cornyn and 19 00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:00,520 Speaker 1: we will see if we can get a couple of 20 00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:03,160 Speaker 1: them to him on the air today as he is 21 00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:07,280 Speaker 1: in this primary, this contested primary, wondering if there will 22 00:01:07,319 --> 00:01:12,200 Speaker 1: be a Trump endorsement. That's a lot of eyeballs on 23 00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:16,039 Speaker 1: this one, so we will get to that. Three guests today, 24 00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:19,720 Speaker 1: two Senators, Uncle Bill, and now we can get into 25 00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:22,679 Speaker 1: some of the news today. Clay Little Mo as Clay 26 00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:28,760 Speaker 1: calls him, Iran's new supreme leader much Taba Kamina has 27 00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:32,959 Speaker 1: issued a statement, but he is well. Someone has issued 28 00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:35,480 Speaker 1: a statement on his behalf. He is apparently in a 29 00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:38,240 Speaker 1: coma and missing a leg, so he got hit in 30 00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:40,959 Speaker 1: one of these air strikes and they are putting him 31 00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:46,959 Speaker 1: forward as the future of Iran. That certainly goes to 32 00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:51,280 Speaker 1: what level of pressure the leadership of Iran is under 33 00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:54,320 Speaker 1: that even there next up at Bat is having to 34 00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:59,400 Speaker 1: have statements released from others around him because he's in 35 00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:03,320 Speaker 1: a coma from an air strike. So essentially, the next 36 00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:06,200 Speaker 1: person who raises their hand in Iran and says I'm 37 00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:09,320 Speaker 1: going to continue the Islamic revolution in this country and 38 00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:11,880 Speaker 1: i shall continue to fight against the Great Satan and 39 00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:15,160 Speaker 1: the Little Satan probably going to get blown up. That 40 00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:18,520 Speaker 1: is where we are right now, at least while these hostilities, 41 00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:25,040 Speaker 1: these aerial campaign continues. Clay oil price has surged a 42 00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:28,400 Speaker 1: bit and there are concerns as well, after two tankers 43 00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:33,959 Speaker 1: were attacked, and I believe are on fire in the 44 00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:37,920 Speaker 1: straight of horror moves. So they're continuing to try to 45 00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:42,160 Speaker 1: go after the oil, the global oil industry as their 46 00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:45,640 Speaker 1: choke point, as their way to hit back at US. Also, 47 00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:50,240 Speaker 1: Trump monitoring Iranian terror sleeper cells. A lot of concern 48 00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:55,000 Speaker 1: about that, and I think rightly concern concern about that, 49 00:02:55,639 --> 00:02:57,919 Speaker 1: and we shall discuss that. So Clay, I mean, first 50 00:02:57,919 --> 00:03:03,440 Speaker 1: one up here, we are in another day of this 51 00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:08,280 Speaker 1: aerial campaign. We now know that Munchtaba is in a coma. 52 00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:12,240 Speaker 1: Little mo is having a tough one. What do you 53 00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:16,120 Speaker 1: think about the latest here with the attacks on oil, 54 00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:21,079 Speaker 1: oil shipping and trying to make this a global environmental 55 00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:24,280 Speaker 1: and economic catastrophe to get this to stop, that's clearly 56 00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:26,080 Speaker 1: the Iranians play. Yeah. 57 00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:29,519 Speaker 2: I think it actually is going to make President Trump angrier, 58 00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:31,800 Speaker 2: and I think it's actually going to result in a 59 00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:35,920 Speaker 2: worse outcome for Iran than if they allowed the oil 60 00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:39,760 Speaker 2: to transit without issues at all. And I'm pulling up 61 00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:43,120 Speaker 2: to check the oil price as we speak right now, 62 00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:46,200 Speaker 2: because it has been probably the number one story that 63 00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:49,520 Speaker 2: is out there, and it's hanging right around ninety dollars 64 00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:52,760 Speaker 2: a barrel, And you say, okay, Clay, where does that compare? 65 00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:57,360 Speaker 2: Is around sixty five dollars if I remember correctly, before 66 00:03:57,480 --> 00:04:01,480 Speaker 2: this war started, and now it's right around ninety dollars. 67 00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:03,640 Speaker 2: It went all the way up to one hundred and 68 00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:09,760 Speaker 2: twenty dollars Sunday in the opening hours of the of 69 00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:14,280 Speaker 2: the market, beginning with danger and fear, and so then 70 00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:16,920 Speaker 2: it crashed all the way back down to like seventy five. 71 00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:19,839 Speaker 2: It's come back up to around ninety. It's bounced around 72 00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:22,760 Speaker 2: a lot, and I think the question is how safe 73 00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:27,360 Speaker 2: is the Strait of Hormuz and what does that mean 74 00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:31,599 Speaker 2: for overall pricing of oil and gas? Now President Trump 75 00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:34,400 Speaker 2: has released I think it's one hundred and eighty million 76 00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:37,440 Speaker 2: barrels is what I saw from this strategic reserve. There's 77 00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:41,840 Speaker 2: four hundred million worldwide being released. My understanding, Buck, is 78 00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:45,760 Speaker 2: that that takes a couple of weeks to actually come 79 00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:48,839 Speaker 2: into the marketplace as a whole, because it takes a 80 00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:52,440 Speaker 2: while for all of those all those barrels of oil 81 00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:53,719 Speaker 2: to reach the marketplace. 82 00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:56,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, I stand corrected on that one. Chuck Schumer said, 83 00:04:56,560 --> 00:04:58,800 Speaker 1: do it, and Trump's actually doing it. Now. The Democrats 84 00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:00,440 Speaker 1: are going to hit him for having to do that, 85 00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:04,800 Speaker 1: but the oil shock seems severe enough that some effort 86 00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:08,520 Speaker 1: to soften the blow is a blow to your wallets 87 00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:13,080 Speaker 1: essentially is underway. So there you go, Chuck Schumer giving 88 00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:18,120 Speaker 1: some good advice to his opposition. Hey, Clay, even a 89 00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:20,919 Speaker 1: broken clock, you know, So I'll take the l on 90 00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:22,919 Speaker 1: that one. Trump's doing it. This has cut seventeen on 91 00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:26,680 Speaker 1: gas prices. Trump last night at joint Base, Andrews hit it. 92 00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:29,520 Speaker 3: I say, the timeline on when you're planning to tap 93 00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:32,720 Speaker 3: this Thrateina petroleum reserve, a timeline of when that happen. 94 00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:35,080 Speaker 4: We're going to be doing it very quickly, and then 95 00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:37,400 Speaker 4: we'll fill it up. We'll fill up our reserves. You know, 96 00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:40,479 Speaker 4: if you remember I filled him up. And then I 97 00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:43,680 Speaker 4: had a deal to go at the highest level, a 98 00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:46,920 Speaker 4: level that's never been and Schumer and the Democrats but 99 00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:50,680 Speaker 4: twenty five dollars, and it was turned down. You remember that, Peter, 100 00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:53,919 Speaker 4: almost before your time, but not quite, but it was. 101 00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:56,880 Speaker 4: We had a deal at twenty five dollars. Think of that, 102 00:05:57,320 --> 00:06:00,240 Speaker 4: twenty five dollars a barrel, and the Democrats turned that. 103 00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:03,560 Speaker 4: We're gonna tap it out like it's never a bit, 104 00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:05,920 Speaker 4: But they turned that down and now it's a. 105 00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:10,200 Speaker 1: Lot higher, played Trump, of course, saying Democrats had no 106 00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:14,200 Speaker 1: foresight on this issue. Not a surprise, but there's enough 107 00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:17,920 Speaker 1: of a jolt of the oil markets that there's serious 108 00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:21,599 Speaker 1: and immediate action being taken to stabilize things. Yeah. 109 00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:25,920 Speaker 2: Look, and I think this is where the average American 110 00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:29,400 Speaker 2: is going to feel to the extent we do anything 111 00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:32,640 Speaker 2: going on with Iran is in oil and gas prices. 112 00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:36,560 Speaker 2: And I would just point out that two years of 113 00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:40,440 Speaker 2: oil and gas prices coming down, by and large was 114 00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:45,440 Speaker 2: not a story that is almost I watch these television 115 00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:48,840 Speaker 2: broadcasts of the news almost every at least three hours 116 00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:49,440 Speaker 2: every day. 117 00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:51,279 Speaker 1: While I'm talking to all of you. 118 00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:55,479 Speaker 2: I have never seen CNN or MSNBC do a story 119 00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:59,720 Speaker 2: on boy, President Trump has really brought down gas prices 120 00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:03,000 Speaker 2: during his tenure in office. Never seen a story about 121 00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:06,840 Speaker 2: gas prices going down for year and a half. And 122 00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:09,280 Speaker 2: now gas prices have gone up for a week and 123 00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:12,720 Speaker 2: it's the lead story on MSNBC and CNN. And by 124 00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:16,080 Speaker 2: the way, Buck, it vanished when oil and gas prices 125 00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:18,440 Speaker 2: went back down to seventy five. Now that they've come 126 00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:20,960 Speaker 2: back up to ninety. We're back to covering oil and 127 00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:23,840 Speaker 2: gas prices again. And they put the picture of the 128 00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:26,720 Speaker 2: oil and gas prices in the corner of the screen. 129 00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:30,280 Speaker 2: Right now, the talk talking point on CNN is oil 130 00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:33,360 Speaker 2: and gas prices, and talking point on MSNBC is oil 131 00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:35,400 Speaker 2: and gas prices. So I do think when it's a 132 00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:37,720 Speaker 2: good story, right for the year and a half that 133 00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:40,520 Speaker 2: the prices came down, not one mention of it for 134 00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:42,920 Speaker 2: the one week they've gone back up. Oh my goodness, 135 00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:46,040 Speaker 2: this is a story that we have to cover well. 136 00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:49,680 Speaker 1: As we know, journalism in America has foury fully morphed 137 00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:54,080 Speaker 1: into it's not about what you should know, it's about 138 00:07:54,080 --> 00:07:56,680 Speaker 1: telling the audience what they want to know. Yeah, what 139 00:07:56,760 --> 00:07:59,200 Speaker 1: they want to hear, what they want to watch. And 140 00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:02,960 Speaker 1: that's really the case over at CNN, at MSNBC, at 141 00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:04,840 Speaker 1: MS now it's the case of Fox too. I don't 142 00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:07,080 Speaker 1: live in some delusional world. I mean, Fox is going 143 00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:09,520 Speaker 1: to have a right of center point of view. But 144 00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:12,120 Speaker 1: there's more, there's so much more honesty about that. I mean, 145 00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:17,440 Speaker 1: their primetime lineup, our opinion hosts. CNN still pretends, CNN 146 00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:21,160 Speaker 1: still pretends that they're just journalists, just Anderson Cooper could 147 00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:23,640 Speaker 1: vote either way. Who knows? Does he love Trump? Does 148 00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:27,960 Speaker 1: he hate Trump? Oil prices important today, unimportant yesterday? I 149 00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:28,600 Speaker 1: wonder why. 150 00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:32,440 Speaker 2: I also think this is important, and I think it 151 00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:35,360 Speaker 2: has been under discussed and it continues to be under discussed. 152 00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:40,319 Speaker 2: You can criticize Fox, and you can criticize them. You know, 153 00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:42,920 Speaker 2: they have sixty six percent of the news audience whatever 154 00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:45,440 Speaker 2: the heck. It is sixty percent on any given day, 155 00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:50,319 Speaker 2: bigger than MSNBC and CNN combined. Their entire business is 156 00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:56,120 Speaker 2: based on advertising, so their audience responds to things and 157 00:08:56,160 --> 00:09:01,120 Speaker 2: they cover it. That used to be the overarching way 158 00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:04,280 Speaker 2: that everybody made money. Now the New York Times makes money. 159 00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:07,439 Speaker 2: Washington Post makes money off subscriptions, and that's a very 160 00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:11,360 Speaker 2: different business model because subscribers want to be told that 161 00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:16,160 Speaker 2: their worldview is correct. When you're pegged to advertising, you're 162 00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:18,679 Speaker 2: trying to reach the biggest possible audience because that's how 163 00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:21,400 Speaker 2: you get paid. We get paid based on advertising, So 164 00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:24,400 Speaker 2: the bigger the audience is, the more money this show makes. 165 00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:28,200 Speaker 2: We're not making money off subscriptions. The New York Times. 166 00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:32,240 Speaker 2: Subscription changes the calculus of how the business is run. 167 00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:35,000 Speaker 2: And I was just looking. This just came across the line. 168 00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:38,200 Speaker 2: Buck New York Times has stunned me. Has doubled the 169 00:09:38,280 --> 00:09:41,280 Speaker 2: number of journalists that employees in the last ten years. 170 00:09:41,640 --> 00:09:46,760 Speaker 2: They have twenty three hundred journalists now, doubled what they 171 00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:51,160 Speaker 2: had just ten years ago. And that's to serve subscribers, 172 00:09:51,440 --> 00:09:56,520 Speaker 2: it's not to provide the best possible outcome to the 173 00:09:56,600 --> 00:09:57,720 Speaker 2: media ecosystem. 174 00:09:57,960 --> 00:09:59,760 Speaker 1: I also, though, think that there's and this has been 175 00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:01,280 Speaker 1: the case for a long time. This has been an 176 00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:03,360 Speaker 1: argument that I've been making since before I was in media. 177 00:10:03,640 --> 00:10:08,040 Speaker 1: There's a fundamental honesty with Fox News that which which 178 00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:12,040 Speaker 1: I think is part of why the audience is so durable, 179 00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:15,520 Speaker 1: sticky if you will, And it stays with Fox Watch. 180 00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:18,520 Speaker 1: There's a fundamental honesty about Yeah, of course, like the 181 00:10:18,559 --> 00:10:20,840 Speaker 1: opening mind, like Jesse Waters isn't sitting there like I 182 00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:23,760 Speaker 1: don't have any opinions. I'm just I'm just presenting the 183 00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:27,440 Speaker 1: objective news. Like that's insane. These other channels have been 184 00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:29,520 Speaker 1: doing this game of we're just we're just news. Yeah, 185 00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:32,040 Speaker 1: I'm not the same thing with ABC News and these 186 00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:34,360 Speaker 1: other things. Same thing with those They're just lying. They're 187 00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:36,640 Speaker 1: just lying to people, and eventually the lies got to 188 00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:39,800 Speaker 1: be too much. But back to the oil price situation, 189 00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:45,120 Speaker 1: I think Clay again, this is gonna be relatively short term, 190 00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:49,320 Speaker 1: and as long as that's the case, it will be fine. 191 00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:51,960 Speaker 1: Here's Energy Secretary Chris Wright, though we've had him on 192 00:10:51,960 --> 00:10:55,160 Speaker 1: the show. Very interesting guy. This is cut eighteen. He's saying, look, 193 00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:58,000 Speaker 1: the Biden administration was playing all kinds of politics with 194 00:10:58,040 --> 00:11:00,280 Speaker 1: this and not even using it for this is an 195 00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:03,480 Speaker 1: emergency situation. They were just using it to try to 196 00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:05,880 Speaker 1: to try to goose the numbers to look better. Play eighteen. 197 00:11:06,160 --> 00:11:07,160 Speaker 1: We have about four. 198 00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:11,400 Speaker 5: Hundred and fifteen million barrels in storage right now. Very unfortunately, 199 00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:15,040 Speaker 5: the Biden administration drained almost three hundred million barrels out, 200 00:11:15,400 --> 00:11:19,000 Speaker 5: mostly the lower gasoline prices for a midterm election without 201 00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:20,760 Speaker 5: disruptions and energy flows. 202 00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:22,680 Speaker 1: That's not what the SPR is about. 203 00:11:22,840 --> 00:11:25,400 Speaker 5: The SPR is about this, when we have short term 204 00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:28,680 Speaker 5: disruptions and flows to replace those flows, but data, we 205 00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:32,440 Speaker 5: will simultaneously sell this oil in the near term when 206 00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:36,200 Speaker 5: it's needed and buy long term oil, meaning say twelve 207 00:11:36,280 --> 00:11:38,760 Speaker 5: months down the road, and we'll pull out one hundred 208 00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:41,880 Speaker 5: and seventy million barrels and we'll put back in two 209 00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:44,640 Speaker 5: hundred million barrels in the next year, so we'll actually 210 00:11:44,679 --> 00:11:46,640 Speaker 5: have more oil in our spr a year from now 211 00:11:46,679 --> 00:11:47,400 Speaker 5: than we do today. 212 00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:53,680 Speaker 1: That's the responsible way to use it. There you go again. 213 00:11:53,720 --> 00:11:56,080 Speaker 2: And what I think is so important about this is 214 00:11:56,559 --> 00:12:01,679 Speaker 2: the only reason this isn't a major, huge treformative danger 215 00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:05,320 Speaker 2: for us is because we actually produced so much more oil. 216 00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:08,120 Speaker 1: Were the energy superpower of the world. You want to 217 00:12:08,160 --> 00:12:11,080 Speaker 1: know why your grocery prices aren't skyrocketing and they're on 218 00:12:11,160 --> 00:12:14,200 Speaker 1: oil lines. Go thank and oil man, Go thank somebody 219 00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:16,679 Speaker 1: who works for Texico or whatever. I mean. 220 00:12:16,679 --> 00:12:19,440 Speaker 2: That's because in the nineteen seventies, for those of you 221 00:12:19,480 --> 00:12:22,720 Speaker 2: who lived through it, we were able to be held 222 00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:26,600 Speaker 2: hostage effectively, both literally in the sense of what happened 223 00:12:26,640 --> 00:12:30,480 Speaker 2: with Iran with our embassy there, but they were able 224 00:12:30,520 --> 00:12:33,040 Speaker 2: to hold this hostage. Those of you who remember lining 225 00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:36,440 Speaker 2: up and having difficulty getting oil and gas, heck buck, 226 00:12:36,480 --> 00:12:38,559 Speaker 2: I'm reading right now. I love reading about World War two. 227 00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:42,160 Speaker 2: You know that during World War two, Americans were restricted 228 00:12:42,200 --> 00:12:46,000 Speaker 2: to four gallons of gas a week, so people barely 229 00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:48,959 Speaker 2: drove anywhere because of the huge shortage and the amount 230 00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:51,280 Speaker 2: of oil and gas we needed in order to fight 231 00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:54,600 Speaker 2: that war. At least they were in Iowa where I'm 232 00:12:54,640 --> 00:12:57,520 Speaker 2: reading about. Anyway, I love all of this, but the 233 00:12:57,600 --> 00:13:01,520 Speaker 2: reason we now have energy and dependent is because we 234 00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:07,079 Speaker 2: have unleashed the full economic spirit capitalistic success of our 235 00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:09,840 Speaker 2: oil and gas industry in a way that frankly didn't 236 00:13:09,880 --> 00:13:14,160 Speaker 2: exist in the forties, fifties, sixties, seventies, eighties, nineties. For 237 00:13:14,160 --> 00:13:16,400 Speaker 2: those of you who remember the first goal for this 238 00:13:16,480 --> 00:13:19,480 Speaker 2: is an utterly different era, and I want to tell 239 00:13:19,520 --> 00:13:23,720 Speaker 2: you as we come up on the era that we 240 00:13:23,840 --> 00:13:28,200 Speaker 2: all experience the twenty fifth anniversary of nine to eleven, 241 00:13:28,760 --> 00:13:33,760 Speaker 2: Tunnel the Towers is having an incredible part of trying 242 00:13:33,800 --> 00:13:36,840 Speaker 2: to make sure that we all remember everything that happened 243 00:13:37,160 --> 00:13:40,960 Speaker 2: on September eleventh, two thousand and one, going back twenty 244 00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:42,840 Speaker 2: five years ago.

Most Democrats have been crazy on iran, 273 00:15:14,440 --> 00:15:18,720 Speaker 2: reflexively opposed to anything going on there. I got to 274 00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:22,440 Speaker 2: give him credit. John Fetterman, who is the sanest democrat 275 00:15:22,520 --> 00:15:26,359 Speaker 2: on the planet. He's coming under fire right now because 276 00:15:26,640 --> 00:15:29,920 Speaker 2: he decided to speak out and say that we need 277 00:15:29,960 --> 00:15:34,200 Speaker 2: to take out moch Taba Kamini Kamane aka Little Mo. 278 00:15:35,160 --> 00:15:38,640 Speaker 2: This was on Fox News and this is John Fetterman 279 00:15:38,800 --> 00:15:41,640 Speaker 2: saying no, like this guy can't be allowed to become 280 00:15:41,720 --> 00:15:43,720 Speaker 2: the ruler of Iran. 281 00:15:43,840 --> 00:15:46,640 Speaker 6: Listen, he said that you are confident that the world 282 00:15:46,760 --> 00:15:49,720 Speaker 6: is better after the death of Iran Supreme leader, the 283 00:15:49,760 --> 00:15:50,920 Speaker 6: Ayatola Haminae. 284 00:15:51,440 --> 00:15:57,000 Speaker 7: But his son, his son, member of their leadership. 285 00:15:57,040 --> 00:15:59,640 Speaker 6: Well, his son is now in charge, and he's considered 286 00:15:59,680 --> 00:16:00,880 Speaker 6: even or have a hard line. 287 00:16:00,880 --> 00:16:03,240 Speaker 7: They should kill They should kill him too. He hasn't 288 00:16:03,240 --> 00:16:06,400 Speaker 7: been able to produce a video or seen in public 289 00:16:06,560 --> 00:16:10,480 Speaker 7: at all. Why why Maybe maybe they're seriously injured. It 290 00:16:10,560 --> 00:16:12,440 Speaker 7: could be very hard to just sit down and even 291 00:16:12,480 --> 00:16:14,360 Speaker 7: do a video and have them put that out. So 292 00:16:14,480 --> 00:16:18,680 Speaker 7: hopefully he is significantly wounded and if he does recover, 293 00:16:19,080 --> 00:16:23,080 Speaker 7: you know, I do absolutely support having Israel to just 294 00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:26,240 Speaker 7: eliminate him all right. 295 00:16:26,600 --> 00:16:29,360 Speaker 2: By the way, that was News Nation Elizabeth Vargas asking 296 00:16:29,400 --> 00:16:32,480 Speaker 2: that question. Uh, I think I said Fox News Buck 297 00:16:32,840 --> 00:16:37,720 Speaker 2: we mentioned this yesterday. I think Fetterman's right, mom, dad, wife, 298 00:16:37,760 --> 00:16:41,440 Speaker 2: and son all killed in an attack, maybe the one 299 00:16:41,480 --> 00:16:43,800 Speaker 2: that that moch Tabas survived. 300 00:16:44,320 --> 00:16:46,560 Speaker 1: I don't see any of these guys are forever. This 301 00:16:46,680 --> 00:16:48,200 Speaker 1: is there's no way we're gonna be a work with him. 302 00:16:48,200 --> 00:16:51,480 Speaker 1: But can I just say I really get a little 303 00:16:51,480 --> 00:16:55,600 Speaker 1: bit of a of a tingle here of office space 304 00:16:55,680 --> 00:16:59,440 Speaker 1: the movie when the guy goes through hypnosis and he 305 00:16:59,560 --> 00:17:01,720 Speaker 1: just after being kind of like a schlub who's like 306 00:17:01,800 --> 00:17:03,760 Speaker 1: man like getting ordered around, he's like, I'm just gonna 307 00:17:03,760 --> 00:17:05,639 Speaker 1: do whatever I want. He turns into like this cool, 308 00:17:05,640 --> 00:17:07,399 Speaker 1: confident guy, and that's the rest of the rest of 309 00:17:07,440 --> 00:17:09,720 Speaker 1: the movie. He's just and he got damn it feels 310 00:17:09,720 --> 00:17:12,399 Speaker 1: good to be a gangster going to the background. It's like, 311 00:17:12,400 --> 00:17:15,399 Speaker 1: that's what happened to Fetterman. It's crazy. He's you know 312 00:17:15,440 --> 00:17:16,879 Speaker 1: the guy. I mean, look, I know he had a 313 00:17:16,920 --> 00:17:21,880 Speaker 1: serious medical issue, but he's he's the best Democrat senator. 314 00:17:22,520 --> 00:17:25,560 Speaker 1: He's the best Democrat senator on the scene right now. 315 00:17:26,520 --> 00:17:28,560 Speaker 1: I think, by far, I don't know who else would 316 00:17:28,560 --> 00:17:31,600 Speaker 1: be in that conversation. So credit where it's due. I mean, 317 00:17:31,640 --> 00:17:34,760 Speaker 1: I was I'm shocked, but credit where it's due. We 318 00:17:34,840 --> 00:17:36,680 Speaker 1: got this one wrong. I thought that he would be 319 00:17:36,720 --> 00:17:39,920 Speaker 1: an awful senator. We campaigned against him on the show, 320 00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:42,199 Speaker 1: I mean doctor Oz ran against him. For those of 321 00:17:42,240 --> 00:17:44,639 Speaker 1: you remember he was basically unable to talk back in 322 00:17:44,720 --> 00:17:46,840 Speaker 1: twenty twenty two, he's recovered. 323 00:17:46,880 --> 00:17:49,720 Speaker 2: He seems to be in better shape, and he's the 324 00:17:49,720 --> 00:17:51,600 Speaker 2: sanest democrat in the country by far. 325 00:17:53,240 --> 00:17:56,159 Speaker 1: It's amazing stuff. You never know. For those of us 326 00:17:56,200 --> 00:17:58,240 Speaker 1: who have purchased gold as an investment, let me tell 327 00:17:58,280 --> 00:18:00,840 Speaker 1: you it feels good you have gotten in on. I 328 00:18:00,920 --> 00:18:03,159 Speaker 1: take physical possession with the gold that I purchase, like 329 00:18:03,240 --> 00:18:05,040 Speaker 1: actually gold that you can hold in your hand, you 330 00:18:05,040 --> 00:18:07,240 Speaker 1: can store in your safe. But others like to put 331 00:18:07,240 --> 00:18:10,040 Speaker 1: gold in their IRA or four oh one K and 332 00:18:10,040 --> 00:18:12,800 Speaker 1: they like to see how gold is doing over time 333 00:18:12,880 --> 00:18:17,360 Speaker 1: with those monthly statements with their balance. Either way, gold 334 00:18:17,520 --> 00:18:20,439 Speaker 1: grows in value because gold has always been a store 335 00:18:20,480 --> 00:18:23,639 Speaker 1: of value, up sixty five percent last year, and because 336 00:18:23,680 --> 00:18:25,680 Speaker 1: of all the money printing going on and the big 337 00:18:25,720 --> 00:18:28,360 Speaker 1: debt that we have, gold's going to continue to go 338 00:18:28,480 --> 00:18:31,639 Speaker 1: up in the future. Gold that's consistently grown up seven 339 00:18:31,720 --> 00:18:35,600 Speaker 1: hundred percent since two thousand and six. For thinking Americans 340 00:18:35,640 --> 00:18:38,400 Speaker 1: know that gold is good and Birch Gold Group is. Therefore, 341 00:18:38,480 --> 00:18:41,000 Speaker 1: you Birch Gold Group can help you convert an ira 342 00:18:41,119 --> 00:18:43,200 Speaker 1: or four o one k into an ira and gold. 343 00:18:43,200 --> 00:18:45,919 Speaker 1: They can also send physical gold to your house. I 344 00:18:46,080 --> 00:18:48,560 Speaker 1: just got some from Birch Gold Group text buck to 345 00:18:48,760 --> 00:18:52,400 Speaker 1: ninety eight, ninety eight, ninety eight. Text buck to ninety eight, 346 00:18:52,480 --> 00:18:54,719 Speaker 1: ninety eight, ninety eight. So we were talking about how 347 00:18:54,760 --> 00:18:57,560 Speaker 1: the Democrats are trying to pounce on this. Democrats pounce, 348 00:18:57,640 --> 00:19:00,960 Speaker 1: They would say Republicans pounce, But now I feel self 349 00:19:00,960 --> 00:19:03,080 Speaker 1: conscious about it, so I'm saying Democrats pounce. But they 350 00:19:03,119 --> 00:19:08,000 Speaker 1: are leveraging the very short term so far, because it's 351 00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:10,320 Speaker 1: been a few days spiking gas prices to be like, 352 00:19:10,320 --> 00:19:13,160 Speaker 1: oh my gosh, this guy's falling. I thought they wanted 353 00:19:13,240 --> 00:19:14,840 Speaker 1: us to use less gas clay. I thought they wanted 354 00:19:14,880 --> 00:19:17,479 Speaker 1: more yeahs. I thought climate change was gonna kill us all. 355 00:19:17,480 --> 00:19:18,879 Speaker 1: What happened to these people? 356 00:19:19,080 --> 00:19:19,520 Speaker 8: This is the thing. 357 00:19:19,680 --> 00:19:21,680 Speaker 1: This is how you know you're dealing with a Democrat 358 00:19:21,720 --> 00:19:25,879 Speaker 1: with a leftist. There's just no accountability. There's no accountability. 359 00:19:25,960 --> 00:19:28,800 Speaker 1: They can say anything, change their mind the next day, 360 00:19:29,119 --> 00:19:32,440 Speaker 1: contradict themselves in the same sentence, and if you try 361 00:19:32,480 --> 00:19:34,560 Speaker 1: to point this out, they just scream at you more loudly. 362 00:19:35,040 --> 00:19:37,800 Speaker 1: You know, they just get more like unhinged. So it's 363 00:19:37,920 --> 00:19:39,800 Speaker 1: very difficult. People say, you know, how do you convince 364 00:19:39,840 --> 00:19:41,359 Speaker 1: the Democrats in your life. I'm like, I don't know. 365 00:19:41,359 --> 00:19:44,720 Speaker 1: I'm a unless they seem reasonable, and then they're already 366 00:19:44,840 --> 00:19:48,159 Speaker 1: halfway there because they're reasonable. Unless they seem reasonable, just 367 00:19:48,440 --> 00:19:51,880 Speaker 1: don't waste your time. So here's the one thing that's 368 00:19:51,880 --> 00:19:53,280 Speaker 1: going on that they're trying to make a big deal 369 00:19:53,320 --> 00:19:56,280 Speaker 1: of gas prices. Another thing that's going on. I couldn't 370 00:19:56,280 --> 00:19:58,159 Speaker 1: believe the story. I was actually gonna send out a 371 00:19:58,280 --> 00:20:00,480 Speaker 1: fiery tweet on this one, but I got I think 372 00:20:00,520 --> 00:20:03,840 Speaker 1: speed was like, you know, biting my ankle or something, 373 00:20:04,200 --> 00:20:07,560 Speaker 1: so I got distracted. But I was just going to 374 00:20:07,600 --> 00:20:09,720 Speaker 1: send out a fiery tweet on this one. Clay the 375 00:20:09,840 --> 00:20:12,600 Speaker 1: story that like Pete hegg Seth as Secretary of War. 376 00:20:13,920 --> 00:20:15,119 Speaker 1: By the way, they're going to make fun of us 377 00:20:15,119 --> 00:20:16,959 Speaker 1: all for calling the secretary of war if they if 378 00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:19,840 Speaker 1: the Democrats win back the presidency, they're going to go 379 00:20:19,840 --> 00:20:22,959 Speaker 1: back to calling secretary of Defense. Guarantee, by the way, 380 00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:25,440 Speaker 1: I actually guarantee they may change the name to Secretary 381 00:20:25,440 --> 00:20:30,200 Speaker 1: of Peace. I just felt my estrogen level. 382 00:20:30,600 --> 00:20:33,600 Speaker 2: I'm just telling them, actually they might jump right over 383 00:20:33,880 --> 00:20:37,199 Speaker 2: Secretary of Defense and go to Secretary of peace. In 384 00:20:37,280 --> 00:20:38,360 Speaker 2: response to second. 385 00:20:38,119 --> 00:20:40,399 Speaker 1: You actually sounded like Brian Stelter there for it, just 386 00:20:40,400 --> 00:20:41,200 Speaker 1: as you said those words. 387 00:20:41,240 --> 00:20:45,760 Speaker 2: I'm just telling you people for what might happen if 388 00:20:46,320 --> 00:20:48,240 Speaker 2: if Democrats get back in power. 389 00:20:48,640 --> 00:20:53,880 Speaker 1: Imagine of the people. Yeah, it's just a good cry. 390 00:20:53,960 --> 00:20:55,760 Speaker 1: He just needed a good cry. He did a good 391 00:20:55,800 --> 00:21:00,640 Speaker 1: cry and covid I was crying. It was so sad. Okay, 392 00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:03,480 Speaker 1: so yeah, But back to the Secretary of where heckxeth 393 00:21:04,359 --> 00:21:09,960 Speaker 1: uh So they said that he spent millions and millions 394 00:21:09,960 --> 00:21:14,600 Speaker 1: of dollars on food and then they went and circled 395 00:21:14,600 --> 00:21:17,960 Speaker 1: the food items that seem like they're you know, extravagant 396 00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:21,680 Speaker 1: to them. And you have people like Paul Mgala, who 397 00:21:21,720 --> 00:21:25,200 Speaker 1: has honestly just always been one of these people who 398 00:21:25,240 --> 00:21:27,840 Speaker 1: is only around because he's been around so long. I've 399 00:21:27,880 --> 00:21:30,080 Speaker 1: never heard any impressive analysis from this guy. I don't 400 00:21:30,080 --> 00:21:32,040 Speaker 1: know him. It's not personal, but I just not an 401 00:21:32,040 --> 00:21:34,840 Speaker 1: impressive guy. But he's comes from that Clinton era of 402 00:21:34,920 --> 00:21:36,960 Speaker 1: TV where it's like, if you're willing to show up 403 00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:39,800 Speaker 1: and you know, put on a blue blazer and you know, 404 00:21:40,760 --> 00:21:43,000 Speaker 1: rap squawk at people. You can get on TV here 405 00:21:43,119 --> 00:21:45,439 Speaker 1: here he is talking about this and he's going up 406 00:21:45,440 --> 00:21:47,119 Speaker 1: against Scot Jennings. So you have an idea of how 407 00:21:47,119 --> 00:21:49,639 Speaker 1: that's going to go play it. That's not important. You 408 00:21:49,640 --> 00:21:50,280 Speaker 1: know what's important. 409 00:21:50,359 --> 00:21:54,159 Speaker 9: He has spent fifteen million dollars in one month for 410 00:21:54,240 --> 00:21:57,160 Speaker 9: Ribbi's steak, six point nine million for lobster tail, two 411 00:21:57,200 --> 00:21:59,920 Speaker 9: hundred and twenty five million dollars for furniture. He's spent 412 00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:02,240 Speaker 9: more in the month of September than most countries on 413 00:22:02,280 --> 00:22:03,200 Speaker 9: Earth spent in their defause. 414 00:22:03,280 --> 00:22:06,399 Speaker 1: Do you believe you or himself lobster tails? 415 00:22:09,520 --> 00:22:12,000 Speaker 6: Do you believe the Secretary of Defense is personally eating 416 00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:13,000 Speaker 6: all the lobster. 417 00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:15,800 Speaker 9: Well, he can't eat, oh rob Oh really, the troops 418 00:22:15,800 --> 00:22:17,400 Speaker 9: are getting frequently. 419 00:22:17,920 --> 00:22:21,439 Speaker 1: Troops that are going to wall A getting a lobster 420 00:22:21,600 --> 00:22:26,800 Speaker 1: You are this Internet do something. I'm gonna, I'm gonna. 421 00:22:26,800 --> 00:22:28,359 Speaker 1: I'm gonna raise my hand here because I used to 422 00:22:28,440 --> 00:22:32,000 Speaker 1: eat in military facilities overseas in Iraq in a war zone. 423 00:22:32,640 --> 00:22:36,840 Speaker 1: And yes they do have Ribbi steak. Yes they do 424 00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:39,400 Speaker 1: have once a week or a couple times a month, 425 00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:41,719 Speaker 1: they'll have like surf and turf night and have some 426 00:22:41,760 --> 00:22:45,639 Speaker 1: lobster tails. Or there's two parts of this clay. On 427 00:22:45,680 --> 00:22:49,040 Speaker 1: the one hand, is Paulagalla really that stupid that he 428 00:22:49,240 --> 00:22:53,359 Speaker 1: like a million dollars of ribbi? You couldn't eat Pete 429 00:22:53,400 --> 00:22:56,280 Speaker 1: Hegsach could eat ribbi three meals a day for the 430 00:22:56,320 --> 00:22:59,720 Speaker 1: next three hundred years, okay, and he wouldn't eat eighteen 431 00:22:59,720 --> 00:23:02,320 Speaker 1: million dollars of ribbi or whatever it is. It's obviously 432 00:23:02,359 --> 00:23:04,119 Speaker 1: for the troops. But the other side of this is, 433 00:23:04,680 --> 00:23:09,159 Speaker 1: notice how quickly democrats and look, there are democrats you 434 00:23:09,200 --> 00:23:11,000 Speaker 1: know who serve and there are democrats who are pro 435 00:23:11,080 --> 00:23:13,560 Speaker 1: military and I have to but democrats in elected office, 436 00:23:13,600 --> 00:23:18,399 Speaker 1: democrats and media, they are so quick to dismiss, to 437 00:23:19,040 --> 00:23:21,360 Speaker 1: cast aside. It's like, what are we supposed to feed 438 00:23:21,400 --> 00:23:21,920 Speaker 1: our troops? 439 00:23:22,240 --> 00:23:22,640 Speaker 7: Cruel? 440 00:23:24,240 --> 00:23:26,720 Speaker 1: The troops don't deserve a ribby steak once or twice 441 00:23:26,760 --> 00:23:29,080 Speaker 1: a week, like the troops were the richest country in 442 00:23:29,119 --> 00:23:32,600 Speaker 1: the history of the world. We can't feed our military. Well, 443 00:23:32,800 --> 00:23:35,119 Speaker 1: we're only supposed to give them spam in a can. 444 00:23:35,359 --> 00:23:38,760 Speaker 1: Like the elitism is just dripping from these libs on 445 00:23:38,760 --> 00:23:39,480 Speaker 1: this issue. 446 00:23:39,680 --> 00:23:44,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, and look, I would submit that political consultants are 447 00:23:44,119 --> 00:23:48,000 Speaker 2: a lot like coaches who happen to get good quarterbacks. 448 00:23:48,640 --> 00:23:50,320 Speaker 1: They make them look good. Right. 449 00:23:50,440 --> 00:23:52,520 Speaker 2: So, Paul mcgaull, whatever you think of Bill Clinton, he 450 00:23:52,600 --> 00:23:56,040 Speaker 2: made his entire career off being an advisor. If I 451 00:23:56,080 --> 00:23:59,399 Speaker 2: remember correctly, to Bill Clinton. Bill Clinton's a really good politician. 452 00:23:59,760 --> 00:24:05,240 Speaker 2: So whatever political consultants surround him, they get to they 453 00:24:05,280 --> 00:24:09,879 Speaker 2: get to be burnished by his success, right, And a 454 00:24:09,920 --> 00:24:13,920 Speaker 2: lot of this is, I think, proximity to someone who 455 00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:16,760 Speaker 2: is talented. Same thing, by the way, for President Trump, 456 00:24:16,920 --> 00:24:21,560 Speaker 2: he's a uniquely talented political figure, and so the political 457 00:24:21,600 --> 00:24:24,680 Speaker 2: consultants around him do they help, certainly? But are they 458 00:24:24,760 --> 00:24:30,080 Speaker 2: basking in the reflective glow of his political ascendancy and success? Yes, 459 00:24:30,119 --> 00:24:33,840 Speaker 2: one hundred percent. This is such a moronic take. If 460 00:24:33,920 --> 00:24:35,680 Speaker 2: you told me, hey, what are you going to get 461 00:24:35,760 --> 00:24:41,560 Speaker 2: upset about that our government is spending money on feeding troops? Well, 462 00:24:42,200 --> 00:24:44,800 Speaker 2: is the four billiant thing that I would point to 463 00:24:44,880 --> 00:24:49,680 Speaker 2: and say, let's investigate this. And on Scott Jennings credit 464 00:24:49,720 --> 00:24:54,440 Speaker 2: here buck, they actually went and the troops are posting 465 00:24:54,560 --> 00:24:58,240 Speaker 2: how excited they were to get a surf and turf meal. 466 00:24:58,720 --> 00:25:03,200 Speaker 2: So there's evidence of them eating steak and lobster and 467 00:25:03,240 --> 00:25:06,959 Speaker 2: being so excited that they had a special meal and 468 00:25:07,040 --> 00:25:10,800 Speaker 2: were being rewarded for the hard work that they put in. 469 00:25:10,960 --> 00:25:13,159 Speaker 1: I mean, there's actual tangible evidence of this. 470 00:25:13,240 --> 00:25:17,200 Speaker 2: And to your point, basic math, it's impossible for anybody 471 00:25:17,200 --> 00:25:19,879 Speaker 2: to spend this much money on food for themselves for 472 00:25:19,960 --> 00:25:22,399 Speaker 2: his family. I mean, this is this is such a 473 00:25:22,480 --> 00:25:25,719 Speaker 2: dumb argument. And by the way, it's been to the 474 00:25:25,720 --> 00:25:28,520 Speaker 2: credit of people who were actually journalists. They went back 475 00:25:28,560 --> 00:25:31,360 Speaker 2: and looked, and the spending is very similar no matter 476 00:25:31,400 --> 00:25:36,600 Speaker 2: who the president is, because the troops get rewarded sometimes 477 00:25:36,680 --> 00:25:37,640 Speaker 2: with great meals. 478 00:25:37,920 --> 00:25:41,159 Speaker 1: Look, I'll tell you this that the food and the 479 00:25:41,160 --> 00:25:44,679 Speaker 1: the food and some of the major fobs in Iraq 480 00:25:44,720 --> 00:25:50,000 Speaker 1: and in Afghanistan, and darn right is it that you 481 00:25:50,040 --> 00:25:52,160 Speaker 1: were there, isn't it the least you could do. 482 00:25:52,520 --> 00:25:55,280 Speaker 2: That's exactly my care of people who are in danger 483 00:25:55,440 --> 00:25:57,600 Speaker 2: of dying, like feeding in the zone. 484 00:25:57,720 --> 00:26:00,600 Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, we had people, the people who were running, 485 00:26:00,640 --> 00:26:03,080 Speaker 1: even the ones who were like me, who are basically fobbits, 486 00:26:03,080 --> 00:26:04,639 Speaker 1: I mean, who were stuck on the base most of 487 00:26:04,680 --> 00:26:06,399 Speaker 1: the time or you know, somewhere all the time. I 488 00:26:06,400 --> 00:26:09,520 Speaker 1: got to get off. But point is, you know, you 489 00:26:09,560 --> 00:26:11,240 Speaker 1: had to run and do duck and covers because of 490 00:26:11,240 --> 00:26:14,480 Speaker 1: the incoming mortar rounds and different places. Like I think 491 00:26:14,480 --> 00:26:16,720 Speaker 1: we can afford to give like decent ribbi. I don't 492 00:26:16,720 --> 00:26:19,080 Speaker 1: think we have to give cat food to our soldiers, 493 00:26:19,080 --> 00:26:23,000 Speaker 1: thank you very much. But the contempt, the the sort 494 00:26:23,040 --> 00:26:25,800 Speaker 1: of the we have to we have to feed these 495 00:26:26,119 --> 00:26:30,840 Speaker 1: soldiers in uniform with with ribbi and occasionally some seafood 496 00:26:31,040 --> 00:26:34,240 Speaker 1: like huh, can you imagine, like I just this, But 497 00:26:34,240 --> 00:26:36,320 Speaker 1: this is where you see how democrats know about it. 498 00:26:36,359 --> 00:26:38,960 Speaker 1: Democrats think they're Look, don't we pay for their mr? 499 00:26:39,280 --> 00:26:41,440 Speaker 1: They should just eat mrs all the time. They don't 500 00:26:41,440 --> 00:26:42,200 Speaker 1: get they don't care. 501 00:26:42,720 --> 00:26:47,280 Speaker 2: How about the same people were defending illegal immigrants getting 502 00:26:47,480 --> 00:26:53,600 Speaker 2: taxpayer funded four star hotel rooms, not citizens, not putting 503 00:26:53,640 --> 00:26:56,400 Speaker 2: their lives on the line coming here and taking our 504 00:26:56,440 --> 00:26:59,960 Speaker 2: actual tax dollars. Oh, it's this is just what America 505 00:27:00,119 --> 00:27:02,040 Speaker 2: has to do. We have to be generous. We have 506 00:27:02,119 --> 00:27:05,040 Speaker 2: to give everybody four star hotel rooms and unlimited Wi 507 00:27:05,080 --> 00:27:07,879 Speaker 2: Fi and let anybody in the world who wants to 508 00:27:07,880 --> 00:27:10,680 Speaker 2: come here know this. And then meanwhile, but we can't 509 00:27:10,680 --> 00:27:13,720 Speaker 2: feed our soldiers well, and to try to make this 510 00:27:13,880 --> 00:27:17,240 Speaker 2: a line of political attack I think this really does 511 00:27:17,359 --> 00:27:20,960 Speaker 2: blow up on them. And I think Pete Hegseth, I mean, 512 00:27:21,240 --> 00:27:24,119 Speaker 2: you know how sometimes the counter punch is more successful 513 00:27:24,200 --> 00:27:26,719 Speaker 2: than the punch. If the Secretary of War and his 514 00:27:26,760 --> 00:27:31,040 Speaker 2: team are listening, I think this is an unbelievable opportunity 515 00:27:31,080 --> 00:27:35,200 Speaker 2: for a counter punch that could flatten the people who. 516 00:27:35,080 --> 00:27:38,600 Speaker 1: Are criticizing him over this. I got to tell you 517 00:27:38,680 --> 00:27:41,880 Speaker 1: the things that heg Seth has done and said in office. 518 00:27:43,920 --> 00:27:46,160 Speaker 1: They want to come after him so badly, but they 519 00:27:46,200 --> 00:27:49,800 Speaker 1: realize that the arguments that they would have to make. 520 00:27:50,320 --> 00:27:52,879 Speaker 1: He's saying things like, let's focus on lethality. Let's have 521 00:27:52,920 --> 00:27:55,600 Speaker 1: a military that does the mission, that doesn't get bogged 522 00:27:55,640 --> 00:28:00,840 Speaker 1: down in identity politics and isn't sitting around giving people 523 00:28:00,920 --> 00:28:04,040 Speaker 1: lectures on how you have to like, you know, do 524 00:28:04,200 --> 00:28:07,399 Speaker 1: transgender surgery with taxpayer dollars, or you're a bad person. 525 00:28:07,640 --> 00:28:09,200 Speaker 1: All this stuff that was going on, by the way, 526 00:28:09,240 --> 00:28:12,400 Speaker 1: going on the CIA, going on in the intel community too. 527 00:28:13,359 --> 00:28:16,480 Speaker 1: Democrats hate what he's doing, but they don't really want 528 00:28:16,480 --> 00:28:18,800 Speaker 1: to go out there and say, you know what we 529 00:28:18,840 --> 00:28:20,760 Speaker 1: really need for We know what we really need for, 530 00:28:21,680 --> 00:28:24,800 Speaker 1: you know, the seal teams to function better. We need 531 00:28:24,840 --> 00:28:29,040 Speaker 1: more trans seals. We need more chicks actually who can't 532 00:28:29,080 --> 00:28:33,480 Speaker 1: do two pull ups joining the seals and seeing how 533 00:28:33,480 --> 00:28:36,399 Speaker 1: that helps for their operational readiness. And they can't actually 534 00:28:36,480 --> 00:28:40,000 Speaker 1: make these arguments publicly. And so that's why Pete I think, 535 00:28:40,400 --> 00:28:42,480 Speaker 1: just by doing what he does, Secretary of War, heag 536 00:28:42,560 --> 00:28:45,760 Speaker 1: Seth is spiking the football in the faces of the 537 00:28:45,800 --> 00:28:47,720 Speaker 1: hard left in this country day in and day out. 538 00:28:47,760 --> 00:28:49,320 Speaker 1: And they don't really know what but that's why they're 539 00:28:49,320 --> 00:28:51,680 Speaker 1: so desperate to hit him. That's why they're saying eighteen 540 00:28:51,720 --> 00:28:55,960 Speaker 1: million dollars of lobster till frozen seafood for our troops. 541 00:28:56,000 --> 00:28:58,440 Speaker 1: You have a problem with this. I couldn't believe it. 542 00:28:58,480 --> 00:29:01,880 Speaker 1: I mean, they're not paying but to feed them caviare 543 00:29:02,080 --> 00:29:05,400 Speaker 1: I mean, you know, if it's food, it's great. Soldier 544 00:29:05,400 --> 00:29:08,280 Speaker 1: should have excellent food. If anything, I'd probably get pissed off. 545 00:29:08,280 --> 00:29:09,480 Speaker 1: I felt like the food wasn't good. 546 00:29:09,440 --> 00:29:14,160 Speaker 2: Enough, right, And I mean feeding your troops well, for 547 00:29:14,240 --> 00:29:17,440 Speaker 2: those of us who are military historians, is the number 548 00:29:17,520 --> 00:29:20,400 Speaker 2: one way to ensure that your troops are the best 549 00:29:20,440 --> 00:29:21,440 Speaker 2: at their jobs. Right. 550 00:29:21,720 --> 00:29:24,320 Speaker 1: The Napoleon that an army marches on its stomach. 551 00:29:24,080 --> 00:29:28,120 Speaker 2: I think that's exactly right, that's the quote boom, that's 552 00:29:28,160 --> 00:29:32,400 Speaker 2: a good that's a good company, by the way, but 553 00:29:32,560 --> 00:29:35,040 Speaker 2: I also think this is their frustration. I bet you 554 00:29:35,080 --> 00:29:36,960 Speaker 2: would sign off on this. We know a lot of 555 00:29:36,960 --> 00:29:42,320 Speaker 2: these guys. Trump jd Vance, Rubio heg Seth. I would 556 00:29:42,400 --> 00:29:46,800 Speaker 2: argue that QUAD is leave aside the politics. I would 557 00:29:46,920 --> 00:29:51,040 Speaker 2: argue that QUAD is the smartest quad that we have 558 00:29:51,240 --> 00:29:54,600 Speaker 2: had in positions of leadership in any of our lives. 559 00:29:55,160 --> 00:29:59,480 Speaker 1: Again, Trump, jd Vance, Marco Rubio, Pete Hegseth. 560 00:29:59,560 --> 00:30:03,040 Speaker 2: I think that that is an incredibly intelligent group, and 561 00:30:03,120 --> 00:30:05,560 Speaker 2: one of the challenges they have is they're also very 562 00:30:05,560 --> 00:30:09,360 Speaker 2: good at communication, so the attacks on them often don't land, 563 00:30:09,440 --> 00:30:14,320 Speaker 2: and frankly are downright moronic, much like our boy Eric Swalwell, 564 00:30:14,320 --> 00:30:16,280 Speaker 2: who we were talking about on the flip side as 565 00:30:16,320 --> 00:30:20,360 Speaker 2: being one of the dumbest politicians that is out there 566 00:30:20,400 --> 00:30:23,920 Speaker 2: in America today. Right now, you got us going to 567 00:30:23,960 --> 00:30:25,800 Speaker 2: break buck. We'll take some of your talkbacks.

I remember my grandfather. He didn't you know what, 575 00:30:43,200 --> 00:30:45,000 Speaker 1: Especially he got older, he would talk about he's on 576 00:30:45,040 --> 00:30:47,479 Speaker 1: the USS Batan in World War two, which is one 577 00:30:47,480 --> 00:30:50,840 Speaker 1: of these converted carriers, kind of like a short carrier, 578 00:30:50,880 --> 00:30:53,760 Speaker 1: if you will. And I remember him talking about how 579 00:30:53,800 --> 00:30:55,760 Speaker 1: when they would go into port and they would get 580 00:30:55,800 --> 00:31:00,200 Speaker 1: some actual like fresh oh stuff, and just like what 581 00:31:00,240 --> 00:31:02,680 Speaker 1: a morale boost it was for these guys. And they're 582 00:31:02,720 --> 00:31:06,360 Speaker 1: out at sea, they got Japanese kamakazis flying at them, 583 00:31:06,560 --> 00:31:09,640 Speaker 1: They're taking you know, machine gun fire across the deck, 584 00:31:09,680 --> 00:31:12,480 Speaker 1: all this stuff.

They can stay underwater for so long, they 642 00:34:11,320 --> 00:34:15,040 Speaker 1: can fire so much nuclear missile firepower if they decide 643 00:34:15,040 --> 00:34:16,319 Speaker 1: to them.

And you can even look in any like 653 00:34:46,320 --> 00:34:49,000 Speaker 11: Navy website. I mean this goes back to World War Two, 654 00:34:49,880 --> 00:34:53,680 Speaker 11: where you know they serve submariners. The quality of food 655 00:34:53,800 --> 00:34:55,600 Speaker 11: and it's known as some of the best food in 656 00:34:55,640 --> 00:34:59,960 Speaker 11: the military because it's a very arduous duty. You know, 657 00:35:00,080 --> 00:35:02,680 Speaker 11: we were underwater seventy some days at a time. I 658 00:35:02,760 --> 00:35:05,920 Speaker 11: was fast attack sub and to have that, to have that, 659 00:35:06,040 --> 00:35:09,120 Speaker 11: it just felt so nice to have a really good meal. 660 00:35:09,880 --> 00:35:12,279 Speaker 11: And that was part of what they told us. Hey, 661 00:35:12,360 --> 00:35:14,799 Speaker 11: you get the best food in the military, and it 662 00:35:14,880 --> 00:35:15,680 Speaker 11: was surf and turf. 663 00:35:16,520 --> 00:35:18,480 Speaker 1: Thank you for the call. Thank you for the service. 664 00:35:18,560 --> 00:35:24,239 Speaker 2: Colleen in Upstate New York, Colleen fire Away, Hi, I just. 665 00:35:24,160 --> 00:35:26,880 Speaker 3: Wanted to reiterate what the last two callers said. My 666 00:35:27,000 --> 00:35:30,360 Speaker 3: husband spent twenty five years serving on submarines, and he 667 00:35:30,440 --> 00:35:33,440 Speaker 3: missed birthdays, he missed high school graduations, he missed all 668 00:35:33,520 --> 00:35:36,239 Speaker 3: sorts of stuff. So I think the least we can 669 00:35:36,280 --> 00:35:39,719 Speaker 3: do for these these men, and I guess in the 670 00:35:39,719 --> 00:35:42,160 Speaker 3: future women would be to feed them well. So I 671 00:35:42,200 --> 00:35:44,600 Speaker 3: get tired of people making a big fuss about it. 672 00:35:45,320 --> 00:35:47,640 Speaker 1: Yeah, thank you for the call. Yeah, they're not giving 673 00:35:47,640 --> 00:35:52,080 Speaker 1: out like rolls, royces and diamond encrusted you know, watches. 674 00:35:52,120 --> 00:35:54,120 Speaker 1: Here we're talking about good food for the people who 675 00:35:54,160 --> 00:35:57,120 Speaker 1: are keeping the country safe. It's a bare minimum obligation. 676 00:35:57,760 --> 00:36:02,600 Speaker 1: Chris and Ohio has a point. Chris, you got for us, Yeah. 677 00:36:02,440 --> 00:36:04,879 Speaker 8: If the DAMS have a problem with a good meal 678 00:36:04,920 --> 00:36:10,240 Speaker 8: for the military, would they be willing to eliminate lobster 679 00:36:10,440 --> 00:36:15,279 Speaker 8: and stake off the SNAP Benefits card, or better yet, 680 00:36:16,120 --> 00:36:20,360 Speaker 8: only send MRIs out to SNAP recipients across the country, 681 00:36:20,640 --> 00:36:23,680 Speaker 8: just like just like the military gets when they're at war. 682 00:36:24,880 --> 00:36:26,120 Speaker 1: I think that's a good argument. 683 00:36:26,239 --> 00:36:29,120 Speaker 2: Like I said, people staying in four star hotels on 684 00:36:29,160 --> 00:36:32,759 Speaker 2: our taxpayer dime who were illegal immigrants at Democrats saying 685 00:36:32,760 --> 00:36:35,399 Speaker 2: we had an obligation to do that. I think most 686 00:36:35,400 --> 00:36:37,480 Speaker 2: of you out there saying, hey, if we're going to 687 00:36:37,520 --> 00:36:40,560 Speaker 2: be spending money feeding the military, well that's an expense 688 00:36:40,560 --> 00:36:43,359 Speaker 2: that actually makes sense from a tax perspective. 689 00:36:43,440 --> 00:36:44,280 Speaker 1: When we come. 690 00:36:44,160 --> 00:36:47,680 Speaker 2: Back, Bill O'Reilly will join us friend of the program, 691 00:36:47,760 --> 00:36:49,000 Speaker 2: longtime media legend. 692 00:36:49,080 --> 00:36:50,359 Speaker 1: That's next on Clay and back.
