1 00:00:00,520 --> 00:00:03,840 Speaker 1: Welcome everybody to the Tuesday edition of the Clay Travis 2 00:00:03,960 --> 00:00:08,000 Speaker 1: end Buck Sexton Show. Getting deep into December already. I 3 00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:11,600 Speaker 1: can't believe it much to discuss. In fact, without even 4 00:00:11,640 --> 00:00:14,760 Speaker 1: planning this, Clay, I'm sitting here in a Crockett T 5 00:00:14,920 --> 00:00:18,520 Speaker 1: shirt for Crockett Coffee. Of course, go to Crockett Coffee 6 00:00:18,520 --> 00:00:21,080 Speaker 1: dot com subscribe this holiday season, get yourself hooked up. 7 00:00:21,120 --> 00:00:25,279 Speaker 1: We got cold bean ground bean cake cup mushroom blend. 8 00:00:25,320 --> 00:00:28,000 Speaker 1: It's amazing, plus great gear. I bring it up though, 9 00:00:28,040 --> 00:00:32,760 Speaker 1: because there is a different Crockett in the news. We 10 00:00:32,800 --> 00:00:37,720 Speaker 1: will be discussing that momentarily, Jasmine Crocket. Now we do 11 00:00:37,800 --> 00:00:40,320 Speaker 1: have to take into account, Clay, the possibility that worsh 12 00:00:40,360 --> 00:00:42,280 Speaker 1: you to say, run for president, You and I would 13 00:00:42,280 --> 00:00:45,680 Speaker 1: often be seen in public wearing Crockett gear, and this 14 00:00:45,720 --> 00:00:46,640 Speaker 1: could be confusing. 15 00:00:47,400 --> 00:00:50,240 Speaker 2: So we're gonna have to address this somehow looks. 16 00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:53,479 Speaker 1: Like we're out there canvassing for votes for missus Jasmine 17 00:00:53,479 --> 00:00:55,480 Speaker 1: Crockett of the House of Representatives, when in fact we're 18 00:00:55,480 --> 00:00:57,080 Speaker 1: just trying to sell you the best coffee that you'll 19 00:00:57,080 --> 00:01:01,160 Speaker 1: ever have. So we'll talk about Jasmine crockettnouncing her Senate 20 00:01:01,240 --> 00:01:02,400 Speaker 1: run coming up. 21 00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:04,120 Speaker 2: We've also got more on the. 22 00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:11,720 Speaker 1: Minnesota and Somali American fraud situation playing out. We have 23 00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:16,640 Speaker 1: a Trump interview with Dasha Burns of Politico addressing a 24 00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:18,000 Speaker 1: whole range of issues. 25 00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:19,320 Speaker 2: We'll bring you the highlights of that. 26 00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:24,040 Speaker 1: Trump was at a ECON roundtable yesterday, got to talk affordability. 27 00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:28,400 Speaker 1: In fact, Uncle Bill also known as Bill O'Reilly, bestselling author, 28 00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:32,120 Speaker 1: TV host, etc. He will be with us at one 29 00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:35,080 Speaker 1: eastern here next hour on the program. We'll ask him 30 00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:37,480 Speaker 1: a lot of things, but certainly about the affordability question, 31 00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:41,199 Speaker 1: because I think that is what will determine most likely 32 00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:45,320 Speaker 1: determine the mid terms the outcome, more than any other 33 00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:46,360 Speaker 1: single issue. 34 00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:48,680 Speaker 2: But I actually wanted to start with this one, if 35 00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:49,920 Speaker 2: I may, mister Clay. 36 00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:55,240 Speaker 1: Yesterday we had mentioned this, but there were oral arguments 37 00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:59,360 Speaker 1: part of the Supreme Court yesterday, and those oral arguments 38 00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:04,400 Speaker 1: included a case that goes right to presidential power, presidential authority, 39 00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:07,920 Speaker 1: whether essentially the president can fire people who work for 40 00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:12,760 Speaker 1: the executive branch, or is there truly a forever state, 41 00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:15,560 Speaker 1: a deep state, whatever you want to call it. There 42 00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:19,720 Speaker 1: are people who are the bureaucracy that are effectively a 43 00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:23,160 Speaker 1: fourth branch of government because they cannot be fired by 44 00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:27,200 Speaker 1: the executive branch. They are not employees of the legislative branch. 45 00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:30,320 Speaker 1: They're certainly not part of the judicial branch. So what 46 00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:32,360 Speaker 1: the heck is going on here? It is a very 47 00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:37,000 Speaker 1: interesting question, I think, Clay. The outcome should be quite clear. 48 00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:43,520 Speaker 1: And yet here is Catanji Brown Jackson, who I think 49 00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:44,400 Speaker 1: you'd have to say is. 50 00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:45,960 Speaker 2: The most left wing member of the Court. 51 00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:48,680 Speaker 1: She also, and this is I mean this, she talks 52 00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:51,320 Speaker 1: the most by far of anybody on the Court, and 53 00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:53,880 Speaker 1: that's just a question of timing. On the transcript, she 54 00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:59,560 Speaker 1: talks the most by far, and unfortunately sometimes shows that 55 00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:02,440 Speaker 1: she doesn't really understand the very basics of our government, 56 00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:04,800 Speaker 1: which for Supreme Court justice I think is a problem. 57 00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:09,040 Speaker 1: Here she is yesterday Clay on the issue of presidential authority, 58 00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:13,200 Speaker 1: and can you fire these forever bureaucrats play cut six. 59 00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:19,480 Speaker 3: Some issues, some matters, some areas should be handled in 60 00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:25,440 Speaker 3: this way by nonpartisan experts. That Congress is saying that 61 00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:29,840 Speaker 3: expertise matters with respect to aspects of the economy and 62 00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:34,080 Speaker 3: transportation and the various independent agencies that we have. So 63 00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:39,160 Speaker 3: having a president come in and fire all the scientists 64 00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:42,280 Speaker 3: and the doctors, and the economists and the PhDs, and 65 00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:47,040 Speaker 3: replacing them with loyalists and people who don't know anything 66 00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:50,040 Speaker 3: is actually not in the best interest of the citizens 67 00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:52,680 Speaker 3: of the United States. These issues should not be in 68 00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:53,840 Speaker 3: presidential control. 69 00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:56,640 Speaker 2: Whose control should they be? 70 00:03:56,640 --> 00:04:01,280 Speaker 1: And then Clay, that's the question that seems obvious, among others, 71 00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:03,600 Speaker 1: that Katangi Brown Jackson I do not think has a 72 00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:08,760 Speaker 1: particularly erudite answer to. I have never said this before. 73 00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:11,640 Speaker 1: I would be a better Supreme Court justice than Katanji 74 00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:14,760 Speaker 1: Brown Jackson, and I would not be a great Supreme 75 00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:20,000 Speaker 1: Court justice. I don't think she has the intellectual theft 76 00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:23,919 Speaker 1: to do this job, and the questions that she asks 77 00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:27,760 Speaker 1: confirm that on a regular basis. Look, what she's trying 78 00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:32,520 Speaker 1: to grapple with inarticulately is the concept of where do 79 00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:36,560 Speaker 1: the powers of the presidency extend and how to they 80 00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:41,000 Speaker 1: implicate the powers of Congress. So essentially what we've got here, 81 00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:44,480 Speaker 1: and it is I think it actually intriguing. An important 82 00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:50,560 Speaker 1: position is how do you end up making choices on 83 00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:53,039 Speaker 1: Let me take a step back and explain, because I 84 00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:55,160 Speaker 1: think this has gotten confusing to a lot of people, 85 00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:57,880 Speaker 1: and I don't think it's overwhelmingly confusing, So let me 86 00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:01,120 Speaker 1: just kind of lay out the issue here. About one 87 00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:07,200 Speaker 1: hundred years ago, Congress started to create these independent regulatory 88 00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:15,279 Speaker 1: agencies inside of government that were basically neither executive nor 89 00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:20,360 Speaker 1: congressional in nature. They were kind of a hybrid, and effectively, 90 00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:22,920 Speaker 1: the question is and most of the time the terms 91 00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:26,760 Speaker 1: on these agencies rotate, and they're supposed to be mixed Democrat, 92 00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:30,440 Speaker 1: Republican and all of these things. And the question really 93 00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:34,320 Speaker 1: at essence here is where does that fall within separation 94 00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:37,560 Speaker 1: of powers? Because if you decide that these people are 95 00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:40,640 Speaker 1: doing a bad job, the president is saying, I should 96 00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:43,599 Speaker 1: have the authority to fire them because they are acting 97 00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:47,720 Speaker 1: in an executive capacity. Katanji Brown Jackson is trying to 98 00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:52,279 Speaker 1: argue that they are independent of the entire political process, 99 00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:56,719 Speaker 1: but derive their power from congressional authorization and therefore should 100 00:05:56,720 --> 00:06:00,160 Speaker 1: be able to serve in their office without the need 101 00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:04,280 Speaker 1: to be at the behest of anyone. Right, And I 102 00:06:04,279 --> 00:06:06,280 Speaker 1: think for most of us out there, we say, wait 103 00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:11,000 Speaker 1: a minute. In a government, people should be actionable, and 104 00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:14,240 Speaker 1: if you're acting in some form in an executive capacity, 105 00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:17,719 Speaker 1: the president should have the ability to decide whether or. 106 00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:19,600 Speaker 2: Not someone is on one of these agencies. 107 00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:22,839 Speaker 1: And Kataji Brown Jackson is trying to say, well, we 108 00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:26,760 Speaker 1: need experts from outside the world of politics. Let's actually 109 00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:30,880 Speaker 1: anti democratic, right, because the entire process of our country 110 00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:34,720 Speaker 1: is predicated on there should be people who are able 111 00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:37,880 Speaker 1: to be removed if the will of the people is 112 00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:40,120 Speaker 1: violated on some level. And that's really what all this 113 00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:42,720 Speaker 1: is about. And look, it's getting tied up in Trump, 114 00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:45,479 Speaker 1: but I actually think that's a poor way of the 115 00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:48,839 Speaker 1: media conveying it because Trump's only going to be president 116 00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:52,599 Speaker 1: for three more years, and largely the question is what 117 00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:55,919 Speaker 1: are the powers of the executive as it pertains to 118 00:06:56,120 --> 00:06:59,600 Speaker 1: these agencies. And I happen to think the executive should 119 00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:02,240 Speaker 1: have the power or to remove. But Katanji Brown Jackson, 120 00:07:02,320 --> 00:07:05,000 Speaker 1: let's go back to her for a minute, buck, because 121 00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:10,800 Speaker 1: I actually think there's an argument that her selection for 122 00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:15,800 Speaker 1: the Supreme Court quite clearly violated federal law because Biden 123 00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:18,880 Speaker 1: said I'm only going to pick a black woman. You 124 00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:22,280 Speaker 1: could not do that in almost any job in America 125 00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:27,800 Speaker 1: without violating the law, because you shouldn't ever say the 126 00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:31,200 Speaker 1: only person who can get publicly, the only person who 127 00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:33,880 Speaker 1: can get this job is a black woman. In doing so, 128 00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:38,400 Speaker 1: Buck Biden eliminated ninety seven percent of all individuals from 129 00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:41,600 Speaker 1: being able to be considered. I think three percent of 130 00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:45,960 Speaker 1: the overall court is made up of the overall legal 131 00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:48,600 Speaker 1: apparatus made up a black woman. I don't think that 132 00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:51,800 Speaker 1: he could appoint her. I think there is an argument 133 00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:55,920 Speaker 1: that her appointment was illegal under federal law because it 134 00:07:56,000 --> 00:08:00,560 Speaker 1: clearly violates principles that the Supreme Court has our ticulated 135 00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:02,960 Speaker 1: when it comes to how to consider race and sex 136 00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:06,000 Speaker 1: in terms of jobs. I also think she's not going 137 00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:08,680 Speaker 1: to win you over with more of her oral arguments, 138 00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:11,200 Speaker 1: which we're about to play here, Clay. In terms of 139 00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:14,840 Speaker 1: her ability to under I don't mean I may disagree, 140 00:08:14,880 --> 00:08:17,800 Speaker 1: and I do disagree with Kagan, for example, on a 141 00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:21,600 Speaker 1: lot of things. I do think she understands what's going on, 142 00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:25,040 Speaker 1: meaning I think she understands competing is forseally. 143 00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:25,600 Speaker 2: A brilliant lawyer. 144 00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:29,280 Speaker 1: Yeah, she's and the constitutional framework that we are discussing. 145 00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:32,840 Speaker 1: So while I can disagree, she understands what does my 146 00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:34,920 Speaker 1: side say? What does your side say? I don't think 147 00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:37,640 Speaker 1: a Tanji Brown Jackson really understands what the sides are 148 00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:41,319 Speaker 1: in this. She just knows what she wants. She's a politician, 149 00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:46,600 Speaker 1: she's effectively a legislator wearing judicial robes, and here she 150 00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:50,520 Speaker 1: is more of the k J. I'm sorry, k b 151 00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:52,520 Speaker 1: J Rant play seven. 152 00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:55,559 Speaker 3: Can you speak to me about the danger of allowing 153 00:08:56,040 --> 00:09:00,360 Speaker 3: in these various areas the president to actually control the 154 00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:04,240 Speaker 3: Transportation Board and potentially the Federal Reserve and all these 155 00:09:04,280 --> 00:09:08,080 Speaker 3: other independent agencies in these particular areas, we would like 156 00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:11,760 Speaker 3: to have independence. We don't want the president controlling I 157 00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:15,120 Speaker 3: guess what I don't understand from your overarching argument is 158 00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:19,760 Speaker 3: why that determination of Congress, which makes perfect sense given 159 00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:23,160 Speaker 3: its duty to protect the people of the United States, 160 00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:28,120 Speaker 3: why that is subjugated to a concern about the president 161 00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:31,360 Speaker 3: not being able to control everything. I mean, I appreciate 162 00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:34,280 Speaker 3: there's a conflict between the two, but one would think 163 00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:38,160 Speaker 3: under our constitutional design, given the history of the monarchy 164 00:09:38,280 --> 00:09:41,760 Speaker 3: and the concerns that the Framers had about a president 165 00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:45,800 Speaker 3: controlling everything, that in the clash between those two congresses 166 00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:49,560 Speaker 3: view that we should be able to have independence with 167 00:09:49,640 --> 00:09:52,480 Speaker 3: respect to certain issues should take precedence. 168 00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:56,520 Speaker 1: I don't what does she even say. She sounds to 169 00:09:56,559 --> 00:09:58,880 Speaker 1: me like she thinks that there is a special imputed 170 00:09:58,920 --> 00:10:04,000 Speaker 1: power from Congress to have elements of government outside the 171 00:10:04,040 --> 00:10:08,720 Speaker 1: executive branch, outside the legislative branch, where people are unfirable 172 00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:12,840 Speaker 1: because of their so called expertise. I mean, this case 173 00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:18,640 Speaker 1: comes from trying to fire someone on the Federal Trade Commission, Right, 174 00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:24,080 Speaker 1: It's the case is Trump Vslaughter, and it's about firing 175 00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:26,400 Speaker 1: an FTC director. 176 00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:29,240 Speaker 2: I think we could find somebody else to do the 177 00:10:29,320 --> 00:10:31,079 Speaker 2: FTC job, thank you very much. 178 00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:33,400 Speaker 1: I think really what this goes to, Clay, is that 179 00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:38,840 Speaker 1: Democrats cling to this, if you will, Fauciite power, going 180 00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:42,120 Speaker 1: back to doctor fauci of people who can have vast 181 00:10:42,200 --> 00:10:45,400 Speaker 1: power within the bureaucracy but are answer will answering to no. 182 00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:47,880 Speaker 2: One, because bureaucrats tend to be Democrats. 183 00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:53,120 Speaker 1: Also, it's Congress not doing its job, because I mean, 184 00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:56,040 Speaker 1: this is very basic and I get it that when 185 00:10:56,040 --> 00:10:59,319 Speaker 1: you go to separation of powers, where we really run 186 00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:02,560 Speaker 1: into where the rubber meets the road is where do 187 00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:04,960 Speaker 1: you define the separation of the power? 188 00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:07,440 Speaker 2: Right, this is Marbarry v. Madison back in the day 189 00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:09,160 Speaker 2: with Hey. 190 00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:13,480 Speaker 1: The Supreme Court has the ability to review any actions 191 00:11:13,520 --> 00:11:18,320 Speaker 1: of the executive or the or the Obviously a congressional 192 00:11:18,360 --> 00:11:21,840 Speaker 1: power and try to make a determination there. But again, 193 00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:25,400 Speaker 1: I don't have any problem with Katanji Brown Jackson's perspectives, 194 00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:30,360 Speaker 1: but she she everything that she does, it appears that 195 00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:33,480 Speaker 1: she thinks she's a senator or a governor or even 196 00:11:33,520 --> 00:11:37,360 Speaker 1: a presidential candidate. She wants to do politics, that's fine, 197 00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:40,480 Speaker 1: but the job of a justice sitting on the Supreme 198 00:11:40,520 --> 00:11:45,080 Speaker 1: Court is not to articulate political arguments, and that's all 199 00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:47,720 Speaker 1: she seems capable of doing. Well, I don't think she 200 00:11:47,800 --> 00:11:50,240 Speaker 1: knows the difference, which is a huge problem. Well that 201 00:11:50,400 --> 00:11:55,560 Speaker 1: I think she's showing an issue deeply mired in her perspective, 202 00:11:55,679 --> 00:11:59,560 Speaker 1: point of view and political ideology, that she does not 203 00:11:59,720 --> 00:12:02,520 Speaker 1: know the difference between the role of a judge and 204 00:12:02,559 --> 00:12:05,280 Speaker 1: the role of a legislator. That's what came across to 205 00:12:05,320 --> 00:12:08,080 Speaker 1: me in this argument, that she has no idea that 206 00:12:08,120 --> 00:12:12,120 Speaker 1: she couldn't make a distinction really, because she's saying things like, Okay, well, 207 00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:16,440 Speaker 1: who determines that these people are experts? Someone hired them 208 00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:18,600 Speaker 1: somewhere along the line, so who gets to fire them? 209 00:12:18,679 --> 00:12:21,000 Speaker 1: I mean, if you start to work backward from her premise, 210 00:12:21,280 --> 00:12:23,079 Speaker 1: so once you work for the FTC, you get to 211 00:12:23,080 --> 00:12:23,840 Speaker 1: stay there forever. 212 00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:27,240 Speaker 2: Explain this to me. We can't find somebody better. 213 00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:31,160 Speaker 1: I think what you're seeing also internally in the Supreme 214 00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:36,840 Speaker 1: Court is there's a growing disrespect of Katanji Brown Jackson's 215 00:12:37,280 --> 00:12:39,880 Speaker 1: seat on the Supreme Court. I think you saw it 216 00:12:39,880 --> 00:12:42,760 Speaker 1: when Amy Coney Barrett slapped her down in kind of 217 00:12:42,840 --> 00:12:45,760 Speaker 1: unprecedented terms. But there was a big article I read 218 00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:48,600 Speaker 1: in the New York Times recently where even Elena Kagan 219 00:12:48,640 --> 00:12:52,600 Speaker 1: and Justice Soto Mayor are not that happy with Katanji 220 00:12:52,640 --> 00:12:53,360 Speaker 1: Brown Jackson. 221 00:12:53,640 --> 00:12:55,680 Speaker 2: And so I think this is a curse that she 222 00:12:55,800 --> 00:12:58,160 Speaker 2: makes their side look silly. Is really what's going on? 223 00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:03,080 Speaker 1: This is the lasting curse of the Biden era that 224 00:13:03,160 --> 00:13:06,320 Speaker 1: is going to unfortunately stay in the Supreme Court for 225 00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:10,720 Speaker 1: the next thirty forty years, maybe long after I'm gone. 226 00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:13,960 Speaker 1: Katanji Brown Jackson is I think around fifty years old. 227 00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:18,600 Speaker 1: She's probably got thirty years left on the Supreme Court, 228 00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:23,120 Speaker 1: and I think she's going to be a real liability 229 00:13:23,360 --> 00:13:25,400 Speaker 1: as a justice going forward. And again, I don't know 230 00:13:25,440 --> 00:13:27,480 Speaker 1: that I've ever pointed this out with anybody. I don't 231 00:13:27,520 --> 00:13:29,600 Speaker 1: think I'm not trying to brag and say hey, as 232 00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:31,880 Speaker 1: a lawyer, I'd be some great Supreme Court justice. I 233 00:13:31,920 --> 00:13:33,840 Speaker 1: don't think i'd be very good at it. I would 234 00:13:33,840 --> 00:13:36,160 Speaker 1: be better than Katanji Brown Jackson as a Supreme Court 235 00:13:36,240 --> 00:13:37,559 Speaker 1: justice play I didn't go to law school, and I 236 00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:39,920 Speaker 1: think i'd be better than Katanji Brown Jackson, and I 237 00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:42,760 Speaker 1: actually probably there's probably a lot of people out there 238 00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:45,200 Speaker 1: that would be better. But again, I think there's an argument. 239 00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:47,760 Speaker 1: I've never heard anybody make it, but I think there's 240 00:13:47,800 --> 00:13:51,880 Speaker 1: an argument that her appointment is illegal under federal law 241 00:13:52,360 --> 00:13:57,000 Speaker 1: and should not stand because of Biden specifically saying I'm 242 00:13:57,040 --> 00:13:59,199 Speaker 1: only going to put a black woman on and by 243 00:13:59,200 --> 00:14:01,600 Speaker 1: the way, she's a I think a poor choice within 244 00:14:01,640 --> 00:14:05,120 Speaker 1: the black female community. I think Biden not surprisingly made 245 00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:08,280 Speaker 1: a poor choice, except to your point, he probably knew 246 00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:11,440 Speaker 1: what he was doing, which is just basically putting a 247 00:14:11,520 --> 00:14:15,040 Speaker 1: left wing politician on the court to make left wing arguments. 248 00:14:15,040 --> 00:14:18,559 Speaker 1: And I think that's why you're seeing Sotomayor and Kagan 249 00:14:18,920 --> 00:14:22,280 Speaker 1: back away from KBJ, and why you're actually seeing any 250 00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:24,840 Speaker 1: cony Bahirt, who seems pretty realized. It doesn't seem like 251 00:14:24,880 --> 00:14:27,560 Speaker 1: an angry person to get her fired up in some 252 00:14:27,640 --> 00:14:30,360 Speaker 1: of these court opinions. I think it's probably giving you 253 00:14:30,400 --> 00:14:34,280 Speaker 1: an idea about what's going on behind the scenes. Cozy 254 00:14:34,320 --> 00:14:37,600 Speaker 1: Earth are great Christmas gifts, that is for sure.

He's got regular articles there. He is 297 00:16:41,880 --> 00:16:46,760 Speaker 1: a best selling author who has got one bestseller after another. 298 00:16:47,360 --> 00:16:51,640 Speaker 1: And we were just actually talking about Whoopy Goldberg said 299 00:16:52,400 --> 00:16:56,640 Speaker 1: Bill that Trump will just have no legacy whatsoever and 300 00:16:56,680 --> 00:17:00,240 Speaker 1: he will vanish on the Idiot Show, the view she 301 00:17:00,400 --> 00:17:04,159 Speaker 1: enjoys appearing on, and Bucket and I both feel like 302 00:17:04,280 --> 00:17:08,600 Speaker 1: Trump is definitely the most consequential figure of the twenty 303 00:17:08,640 --> 00:17:09,440 Speaker 1: first century. 304 00:17:09,920 --> 00:17:11,760 Speaker 2: And Bill, I said, I would put. 305 00:17:11,600 --> 00:17:16,720 Speaker 1: Trump right now behind only Reagan in my life as 306 00:17:16,760 --> 00:17:19,560 Speaker 1: the best presidents. Now, you're a little bit older than me, 307 00:17:19,760 --> 00:17:22,200 Speaker 1: but I was born in the last year of Jimmy 308 00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:26,000 Speaker 1: Carter's presidency. You're a history guy, though, where would you 309 00:17:26,080 --> 00:17:28,959 Speaker 1: put Trump? And how do you assess Biden? Since we 310 00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:32,440 Speaker 1: know Biden's ten years over? How do you think history 311 00:17:32,560 --> 00:17:34,560 Speaker 1: views this era of those guys? 312 00:17:35,440 --> 00:17:37,480 Speaker 5: Well, first of all, we have to take Whipopy Goldberg 313 00:17:37,560 --> 00:17:40,760 Speaker 5: seriously because she was in a movie called Ghost where 314 00:17:40,800 --> 00:17:44,080 Speaker 5: she could see everything that happened, So I'm sure that's 315 00:17:44,080 --> 00:17:48,160 Speaker 5: carried over to her real life. And we know she's 316 00:17:48,240 --> 00:17:52,920 Speaker 5: a PhD in history and political science, a combination which 317 00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:56,760 Speaker 5: is extraordinary. So we can't just dismiss miss Goldberg out 318 00:17:56,800 --> 00:18:01,560 Speaker 5: of hand. I'm being, of course to see I read 319 00:18:01,800 --> 00:18:05,520 Speaker 5: a book called Confronting the President's which is right behind 320 00:18:05,560 --> 00:18:08,760 Speaker 5: Confronting Evil, which is out now. We twined them up. 321 00:18:08,800 --> 00:18:10,720 Speaker 5: By the way. You get both books on Bill O'Reilly 322 00:18:10,760 --> 00:18:14,000 Speaker 5: dot com for very fine price. Now, every time I 323 00:18:14,040 --> 00:18:18,720 Speaker 5: see President Trump, and the last time was five days 324 00:18:18,720 --> 00:18:21,280 Speaker 5: ago in the White House, so he's spent forty minutes 325 00:18:21,320 --> 00:18:24,359 Speaker 5: with him, he's asking me the same question that you 326 00:18:24,560 --> 00:18:27,720 Speaker 5: just asked me, So what's my legacy? Am I number 327 00:18:27,720 --> 00:18:35,240 Speaker 5: one yet? And you know I can't be. He's never 328 00:18:35,280 --> 00:18:37,960 Speaker 5: going to be number one. Abraham Lincoln will always be 329 00:18:38,160 --> 00:18:40,840 Speaker 5: the best president the United States. 330 00:18:40,840 --> 00:18:43,200 Speaker 1: Hold up the president. You're at the Oval Office. This 331 00:18:43,640 --> 00:18:45,720 Speaker 1: is a great scene. You're in the Oval Office with 332 00:18:45,840 --> 00:18:49,760 Speaker 1: the president, and the president, who trusts your historical acumen, 333 00:18:50,320 --> 00:18:52,800 Speaker 1: is saying, hey, Bill, how do you rank that? This 334 00:18:52,880 --> 00:18:55,800 Speaker 1: is very very funny. So he's asking you directly, hey 335 00:18:55,800 --> 00:18:57,840 Speaker 1: where do I rank right now? And you told him, 336 00:18:58,400 --> 00:19:00,480 Speaker 1: I mean, I love this. You told him what exactly? 337 00:19:01,560 --> 00:19:04,119 Speaker 5: I told him that you know he's going I should 338 00:19:04,119 --> 00:19:06,800 Speaker 5: be number one? That's the saymenty megs, I said, You'll 339 00:19:06,840 --> 00:19:08,760 Speaker 5: never be number one, you know me, I mean, I 340 00:19:08,880 --> 00:19:12,000 Speaker 5: don't pander to anybody. I said, You're never going to 341 00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:15,840 Speaker 5: be number one because Lincoln was so extraordinary and held 342 00:19:15,880 --> 00:19:19,439 Speaker 5: the Union together when few other presidents would have been 343 00:19:19,480 --> 00:19:22,720 Speaker 5: able to do that. But you're in the top ten 344 00:19:22,960 --> 00:19:27,400 Speaker 5: right now. And you're the hardest working president of all time. 345 00:19:28,600 --> 00:19:33,920 Speaker 5: No president has ever approached the work ethic of Donald Trump, 346 00:19:34,400 --> 00:19:36,159 Speaker 5: and it is not even closed. There's not even a 347 00:19:36,200 --> 00:19:40,560 Speaker 5: close second to that. And I said, but a lot 348 00:19:40,760 --> 00:19:47,120 Speaker 5: of your policies are yet to be known as far 349 00:19:47,200 --> 00:19:50,240 Speaker 5: as their effectiveness is concerned. You got the border in 350 00:19:50,280 --> 00:19:55,320 Speaker 5: your pocket, okay, And you also have accomplishments because you 351 00:19:55,480 --> 00:19:59,959 Speaker 5: followed the second worst president in our history, Joe Biden, 352 00:20:00,920 --> 00:20:04,000 Speaker 5: only James Buchanan, who led up to Lincoln and who 353 00:20:04,040 --> 00:20:09,160 Speaker 5: was an abject coward and allowed the South to arm 354 00:20:09,359 --> 00:20:13,119 Speaker 5: itself for four years in preparation of the War of 355 00:20:13,160 --> 00:20:17,639 Speaker 5: Rebellion and began and did nothing, knew it was too 356 00:20:17,720 --> 00:20:22,520 Speaker 5: afraid to do anything about it. Worst president ever, Biden's 357 00:20:22,640 --> 00:20:28,080 Speaker 5: number two. Why because in four years Joe Biden did 358 00:20:28,119 --> 00:20:33,560 Speaker 5: not solve one problem in this country, not one. And 359 00:20:33,680 --> 00:20:36,439 Speaker 5: all my liberal friends who voted for him and Kamala Harris. 360 00:20:36,560 --> 00:20:40,040 Speaker 5: When I say to them very politely, because I don't 361 00:20:40,040 --> 00:20:45,239 Speaker 5: get angry about political differences, that's foolish when I say, 362 00:20:45,320 --> 00:20:48,040 Speaker 5: all right, give me one thing that he did, Joe. 363 00:20:48,080 --> 00:20:50,080 Speaker 1: I'm sorry, Bill, I got to jump in real quick. 364 00:20:50,119 --> 00:20:54,680 Speaker 1: You're leading out that President Biden solved Hunter's legal issues, which, 365 00:20:55,000 --> 00:20:57,320 Speaker 1: to be fair, he swooped in on that. 366 00:20:57,320 --> 00:21:01,760 Speaker 5: Okay, well, I'll I'll debate you on that any time 367 00:21:01,760 --> 00:21:08,800 Speaker 5: you want. But they, the people voted for him, cannot 368 00:21:08,840 --> 00:21:09,600 Speaker 5: come up with one. 369 00:21:10,240 --> 00:21:10,480 Speaker 2: Yeah. 370 00:21:10,480 --> 00:21:12,440 Speaker 1: Well, they certainly don't care that Hunter got a pardon, 371 00:21:12,720 --> 00:21:14,159 Speaker 1: or if they do, I think they don't like it. 372 00:21:14,200 --> 00:21:20,240 Speaker 5: But you're right, if it were Donald Trump, junior President 373 00:21:20,280 --> 00:21:23,200 Speaker 5: Trump would have done the same thing. So I'm an 374 00:21:23,200 --> 00:21:25,760 Speaker 5: honest guy. Yeah, all right, So. 375 00:21:27,920 --> 00:21:29,800 Speaker 1: I was kidding Hi about the pardon thing. I'm not 376 00:21:29,840 --> 00:21:31,800 Speaker 1: trying to divert you from what you're saying. He clearly 377 00:21:31,880 --> 00:21:34,360 Speaker 1: is a terrible president who didn't manage to solve much 378 00:21:34,400 --> 00:21:36,880 Speaker 1: of anything. But I also wanted to ask you, Bill, 379 00:21:36,920 --> 00:21:39,800 Speaker 1: if I could the president, the current president, who you 380 00:21:39,800 --> 00:21:42,560 Speaker 1: say is excellent, not number one. He probably was a 381 00:21:42,600 --> 00:21:45,440 Speaker 1: little miffed at that, but that's okay. He's an excellent president. 382 00:21:45,720 --> 00:21:49,080 Speaker 1: He's going on a affordability tour of sorts, going to 383 00:21:49,119 --> 00:21:52,359 Speaker 1: eastern Pennsylvania, because I think there's a recognition even in 384 00:21:52,400 --> 00:21:55,879 Speaker 1: this White House that despite the excellent policies, there's frustration 385 00:21:56,280 --> 00:21:59,440 Speaker 1: with the economy on affordability. Do you think Trump's making 386 00:21:59,440 --> 00:22:01,359 Speaker 1: the right move here by going Do you think that 387 00:22:01,400 --> 00:22:03,760 Speaker 1: this is something that the White House can successfully address 388 00:22:03,800 --> 00:22:06,159 Speaker 1: so we don't lose the control of a house in 389 00:22:06,200 --> 00:22:07,359 Speaker 1: the midterms. 390 00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:13,280 Speaker 5: Well, on the night before Thanksgiving, I was at the 391 00:22:13,320 --> 00:22:15,560 Speaker 5: Islander hockey game and the puck was about to drop, 392 00:22:15,600 --> 00:22:20,200 Speaker 5: and I got a phone call from President Trump right 393 00:22:20,320 --> 00:22:22,800 Speaker 5: at the game. Now, when a president calls, so you 394 00:22:22,840 --> 00:22:24,920 Speaker 5: got to take the call. He can't go to voicemail, 395 00:22:25,080 --> 00:22:28,359 Speaker 5: all right, So I got a private office. The owner 396 00:22:28,359 --> 00:22:31,479 Speaker 5: of the team is a friend of mine, and President 397 00:22:31,520 --> 00:22:34,399 Speaker 5: Trump can proceed to yell at me for ten minutes, 398 00:22:35,040 --> 00:22:38,640 Speaker 5: all right, which is not unusual, all right, And when 399 00:22:38,640 --> 00:22:43,520 Speaker 5: he gets going, you can't interrupt. He's essence of the 400 00:22:44,440 --> 00:22:50,000 Speaker 5: disenchantment with O'Reilly was that I was reporting that the 401 00:22:50,080 --> 00:22:56,920 Speaker 5: affordability situation could very much hurt him because it all 402 00:22:56,960 --> 00:22:59,720 Speaker 5: he has to do is go back to twenty eighteen 403 00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:04,800 Speaker 5: terms you got whacked. Trump got whacked and Obama got whacked. 404 00:23:05,440 --> 00:23:09,640 Speaker 5: And in terms of very difficult to hold power, and 405 00:23:09,680 --> 00:23:17,080 Speaker 5: the press is pounding every second, affordability, affordability, affordability. Now, 406 00:23:17,119 --> 00:23:22,760 Speaker 5: the stats are not bad for Trump, they're not, in fact. 407 00:23:22,800 --> 00:23:24,680 Speaker 5: On the now Spin News tonight, I'll lay them all 408 00:23:24,720 --> 00:23:26,960 Speaker 5: out for you. But if you have a specific stat 409 00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:29,199 Speaker 5: you want, I'll give it to you. And now, the 410 00:23:29,280 --> 00:23:33,960 Speaker 5: economy is in pretty good shape. Stock market's good for 411 00:23:34,240 --> 00:23:39,320 Speaker 5: one K people, retirement, plant people, prospering. You can get 412 00:23:39,320 --> 00:23:44,560 Speaker 5: a job if you want. Wages are up, Bacon is up. 413 00:23:44,840 --> 00:23:48,760 Speaker 5: If you like bacon, you're paying more of a bacon, okay, 414 00:23:49,240 --> 00:23:53,040 Speaker 5: But a whole number of other foods are down. So 415 00:23:53,720 --> 00:23:59,919 Speaker 5: this is a contrived thing. With one exception. Insurance call 416 00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:06,000 Speaker 5: us are killing working Americans, killing them health insurance, car insurance, 417 00:24:06,480 --> 00:24:12,320 Speaker 5: house insurance. That after President Trump got through yelling at me, 418 00:24:12,960 --> 00:24:16,680 Speaker 5: I said, all right, it's my job to report what's happening, 419 00:24:16,680 --> 00:24:19,280 Speaker 5: mister president. Of course you're not going to like some 420 00:24:19,359 --> 00:24:23,920 Speaker 5: of it, but I'm fair. This is what you have 421 00:24:24,160 --> 00:24:27,400 Speaker 5: to do. You got to get out there and you've 422 00:24:27,440 --> 00:24:30,200 Speaker 5: got to tell people. In twenty six here's what we're 423 00:24:30,200 --> 00:24:33,560 Speaker 5: going to do to bring down these prices very specifically. 424 00:24:34,560 --> 00:24:37,520 Speaker 5: So I think he followed my advice, but I'm sure 425 00:24:37,520 --> 00:24:39,680 Speaker 5: he got that advice from other people as well. I'm 426 00:24:39,720 --> 00:24:44,600 Speaker 5: not taking credit for it. And he's out in Pennsylvania tonight. 427 00:24:45,480 --> 00:24:47,959 Speaker 2: Bill. This is a little bit of a pivot. 428 00:24:47,960 --> 00:24:50,439 Speaker 1: But the last time we had you on, we had 429 00:24:50,480 --> 00:24:53,679 Speaker 1: a caller who wanted us to ask you about Patent's 430 00:24:53,760 --> 00:24:58,199 Speaker 1: death and whether you bought into and I know you 431 00:24:58,240 --> 00:25:01,960 Speaker 1: wrote about the death of pat in your Killing series. 432 00:25:02,320 --> 00:25:04,480 Speaker 1: What you thought about is death and whether he wrote 433 00:25:04,520 --> 00:25:09,040 Speaker 1: a book He's Killing Patent. Yeah, whether what your take 434 00:25:09,320 --> 00:25:12,320 Speaker 1: is on that death and what occurred. 435 00:25:13,320 --> 00:25:15,679 Speaker 5: Okay, first of all, you get all the books, and 436 00:25:15,720 --> 00:25:18,360 Speaker 5: this is a shameless plug, but you guys are nice. 437 00:25:19,680 --> 00:25:21,760 Speaker 5: You can get all thirteen Killing books in the two 438 00:25:21,840 --> 00:25:25,600 Speaker 5: Confronting books in one package on Bill O'Reilly dot com, 439 00:25:25,680 --> 00:25:30,480 Speaker 5: which will save you hundreds of dollars in Christmas gift 440 00:25:30,600 --> 00:25:36,840 Speaker 5: expenses because people want these books. Okay, so you get 441 00:25:36,880 --> 00:25:39,960 Speaker 5: fifteen youdele them out. You add up the money that 442 00:25:40,040 --> 00:25:42,040 Speaker 5: you spent on that as opposed to what you would 443 00:25:42,080 --> 00:25:46,080 Speaker 5: spend on fifteen individual gifts. Your way ahead, Bill O'Reilly, 444 00:25:46,119 --> 00:25:50,800 Speaker 5: dot Com killing Patten. We walk through the whole career 445 00:25:51,680 --> 00:25:56,080 Speaker 5: of the best American general in World War Two, second 446 00:25:56,080 --> 00:26:00,640 Speaker 5: best in history next to John Pershing. Pershing was the best. Okay, 447 00:26:01,320 --> 00:26:05,720 Speaker 5: Patton was second. At the end of his life, many 448 00:26:06,280 --> 00:26:11,760 Speaker 5: very strange things happened to George Patten. None of them 449 00:26:12,040 --> 00:26:16,520 Speaker 5: added up. He should not have died in that hospital 450 00:26:16,560 --> 00:26:23,200 Speaker 5: in Luxembourg. So a lot of people, including me, suspect 451 00:26:23,720 --> 00:26:27,360 Speaker 5: that he was murdered. Who would want to murder him? 452 00:26:27,840 --> 00:26:33,560 Speaker 5: Russia stalin Soviet Union, and they had access because you remember, 453 00:26:33,640 --> 00:26:37,199 Speaker 5: they were our allies in World War Two, because Patten 454 00:26:37,320 --> 00:26:41,080 Speaker 5: wanted to fight them. He did not want to stop 455 00:26:41,800 --> 00:26:44,720 Speaker 5: because he knew that the Soviet Union was going to 456 00:26:44,800 --> 00:26:49,119 Speaker 5: be replace Hitler in the Nazis is our main enemy. 457 00:26:49,600 --> 00:26:52,240 Speaker 1: So when you say he was killed, sorry to cut 458 00:26:52,280 --> 00:26:55,320 Speaker 1: you off, do you mean that in the poisoned in 459 00:26:55,400 --> 00:26:58,600 Speaker 1: the wake of the car accident while he was recovering. 460 00:26:58,960 --> 00:27:04,840 Speaker 5: Okay, in the hospital and the car accident itself did 461 00:27:04,880 --> 00:27:09,119 Speaker 5: not make any sense, and we trace it in killing Tat. 462 00:27:09,800 --> 00:27:14,760 Speaker 5: It did not make any sense. So anyway that I'm 463 00:27:14,800 --> 00:27:18,160 Speaker 5: not a conspiracy guy. You guys know that I don't 464 00:27:18,200 --> 00:27:21,800 Speaker 5: deal with that. I am a reporter and what I 465 00:27:21,880 --> 00:27:25,520 Speaker 5: lay out is one hundred percent accurate. The only resolution 466 00:27:25,680 --> 00:27:30,520 Speaker 5: to this is to exhoom the general's body, which is 467 00:27:30,720 --> 00:27:35,520 Speaker 5: in europe a test. They did that for Zachary Taylor. 468 00:27:36,640 --> 00:27:41,439 Speaker 5: Zachary Taylor got that treatment. They won't do it for Patten. 469 00:27:42,080 --> 00:27:47,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, And do we have a caller, Dad, Bill? 470 00:27:47,560 --> 00:27:49,800 Speaker 1: We had a caller who called in who said, who 471 00:27:49,800 --> 00:27:54,120 Speaker 1: claimed that his father was the driver for the car 472 00:27:54,200 --> 00:27:55,359 Speaker 1: when Patten was. 473 00:27:55,359 --> 00:27:57,600 Speaker 2: In that accident you mentioned. Just wanted you to hear this. 474 00:27:57,600 --> 00:27:58,360 Speaker 2: This is thirty one. 475 00:27:58,880 --> 00:28:02,040 Speaker 1: You say your dad was driving the car when Patten 476 00:28:02,240 --> 00:28:04,359 Speaker 1: was killed, when he died in the car accident. 477 00:28:05,119 --> 00:28:07,960 Speaker 2: Yes, he was Okay, Well, what did your dad tell 478 00:28:07,960 --> 00:28:08,399 Speaker 2: you about that? 479 00:28:09,160 --> 00:28:13,600 Speaker 6: He actually died nine days later. He was driving a 480 00:28:13,600 --> 00:28:16,720 Speaker 6: thirty eight Cadillac Limo and Patton was sitting in the 481 00:28:16,760 --> 00:28:19,560 Speaker 6: back on the edge of the seat as usual, and 482 00:28:19,880 --> 00:28:22,240 Speaker 6: they were waiting for a train to pass, and he 483 00:28:22,760 --> 00:28:24,240 Speaker 6: put in a pass. He pulled away. He got up 484 00:28:24,280 --> 00:28:26,600 Speaker 6: to about twenty five miles an hour, and there was 485 00:28:26,600 --> 00:28:29,000 Speaker 6: a personnel carrier about a quarter mile down the road 486 00:28:29,359 --> 00:28:32,679 Speaker 6: that pulled out at the same time. And when they 487 00:28:32,720 --> 00:28:35,120 Speaker 6: got to each other, the personnel carrier turned right into 488 00:28:35,119 --> 00:28:38,840 Speaker 6: the Cadillac, and Patton flew forward, hit his forehead on 489 00:28:38,920 --> 00:28:43,719 Speaker 6: the partition between the front and back, scalped his you know, 490 00:28:43,840 --> 00:28:46,200 Speaker 6: put to the scalp himself and broke his neck. 491 00:28:47,360 --> 00:28:51,000 Speaker 1: And so from your perspective, your dad told you there 492 00:28:51,080 --> 00:28:53,880 Speaker 1: is no conspiracy there. It's for people out there that 493 00:28:54,040 --> 00:28:57,280 Speaker 1: have bought not believe that this was a traffic accident 494 00:28:57,320 --> 00:28:59,760 Speaker 1: and it was a freak accident in some way based 495 00:28:59,760 --> 00:29:01,080 Speaker 1: on the Patton died. 496 00:29:01,920 --> 00:29:04,520 Speaker 6: Yeah, I did, never talked about any conspiracies about it 497 00:29:04,600 --> 00:29:07,080 Speaker 6: or anything like that. But I mean there's three drunkie 498 00:29:07,080 --> 00:29:10,000 Speaker 6: guys that all disappeared, you know, they were they were 499 00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:14,400 Speaker 6: in the personnel career, and uh, you know, Patton's starting 500 00:29:14,440 --> 00:29:16,840 Speaker 6: to do a lot better and then he died this 501 00:29:17,000 --> 00:29:17,560 Speaker 6: all of a sudden. 502 00:29:19,280 --> 00:29:20,560 Speaker 2: Take it away. What do you make of it? 503 00:29:22,640 --> 00:29:27,520 Speaker 5: Man? I believe that his father was the driver, the 504 00:29:27,640 --> 00:29:32,160 Speaker 5: three soldiers he fighted. That that is unbelievable evidence. I mean, 505 00:29:32,160 --> 00:29:37,560 Speaker 5: when you get a general, a four star, dying in 506 00:29:37,600 --> 00:29:42,680 Speaker 5: this kind of circumstance, you would interview everybody, and nothing 507 00:29:42,800 --> 00:29:48,360 Speaker 5: was done. Nothing was done. Washington's here to Patten. That 508 00:29:48,400 --> 00:29:51,920 Speaker 5: would be Harry Truman, the Democratic Party because Patten was 509 00:29:51,920 --> 00:29:54,040 Speaker 5: going to run for president. He's going to come back 510 00:29:54,120 --> 00:29:58,120 Speaker 5: to the United States and run just as Eisenhower did, 511 00:29:58,160 --> 00:30:01,640 Speaker 5: and Eisenhower of course won. And so there were a 512 00:30:01,680 --> 00:30:04,760 Speaker 5: lot of reasons that Patten had a lot of enemies, 513 00:30:04,800 --> 00:30:08,840 Speaker 5: but the big enemy was Stalin, and Stalin had access. 514 00:30:10,120 --> 00:30:15,680 Speaker 5: So I'm not saying that Patten was murdered because I 515 00:30:15,760 --> 00:30:18,560 Speaker 5: cannot prove it. What I am saying is that you 516 00:30:18,600 --> 00:30:23,040 Speaker 5: could find out if this general was poisoned or not, 517 00:30:23,280 --> 00:30:28,400 Speaker 5: and nobody is apparently wants to do that. 518 00:30:28,920 --> 00:30:31,200 Speaker 1: So that's the point about he had a turn for 519 00:30:31,240 --> 00:30:34,240 Speaker 1: the worse in the hospital. I mean that was It's 520 00:30:34,280 --> 00:30:36,560 Speaker 1: interesting that he was. It seemed he was getting better 521 00:30:36,600 --> 00:30:38,160 Speaker 1: than all of a sudden, And so you're saying that 522 00:30:38,200 --> 00:30:40,520 Speaker 1: all of a sudden, to you is very suspicious. You'd 523 00:30:40,600 --> 00:30:42,080 Speaker 1: like to get to the bottom of it, or people 524 00:30:42,080 --> 00:30:44,520 Speaker 1: to get to the bottom of it. With the testing 525 00:30:44,560 --> 00:30:46,040 Speaker 1: of Patten's remains. 526 00:30:46,480 --> 00:30:50,920 Speaker 5: Yeah, if you read Killing Patten, anybody very interested in 527 00:30:50,960 --> 00:30:54,280 Speaker 5: this subject, should we really walk through it in a 528 00:30:54,400 --> 00:31:00,240 Speaker 5: non hysterical way, so we have all the eyewitness reports 529 00:31:00,280 --> 00:31:03,880 Speaker 5: in there, and you know, in my style, my style 530 00:31:04,120 --> 00:31:07,200 Speaker 5: is I'm not boring you. I am moving this story along, 531 00:31:08,160 --> 00:31:12,560 Speaker 5: but I'm not a guy who ordinarily buys into this stuff. 532 00:31:13,560 --> 00:31:20,040 Speaker 5: But here you had motive, you had accessibility, you had 533 00:31:20,400 --> 00:31:25,120 Speaker 5: enemies both abroad and at home. And George is a 534 00:31:25,160 --> 00:31:29,160 Speaker 5: tough guy. He was a big, strong guy, and it 535 00:31:29,400 --> 00:31:32,120 Speaker 5: just doesn't stack Bill. 536 00:31:32,360 --> 00:31:35,680 Speaker 2: Thank you for hanging out with us here. Good Christmas gift. 537 00:31:35,800 --> 00:31:38,680 Speaker 1: As you said, Bill O'Reilly dot com for not only 538 00:31:39,120 --> 00:31:40,160 Speaker 1: kill real quick, I know. 539 00:31:40,120 --> 00:31:44,480 Speaker 5: You got to hit a break. President Trump asked me 540 00:31:44,600 --> 00:31:51,440 Speaker 5: to give him Confronting Evil, specifically for the chapter on Putin, 541 00:31:53,240 --> 00:31:57,720 Speaker 5: because we trace that what has happened to Putin, he's 542 00:31:57,960 --> 00:32:01,520 Speaker 5: not the same guy that Trump was dealing with in 543 00:32:01,520 --> 00:32:04,640 Speaker 5: the first term. And the President wrote me a really 544 00:32:05,200 --> 00:32:10,840 Speaker 5: nice note after he read Confronting Evil. So I just 545 00:32:10,880 --> 00:32:14,800 Speaker 5: want people to know that that is out there. 546 00:32:15,520 --> 00:32:18,320 Speaker 1: That's outstanding. Thank you for the background stories. We'll talk 547 00:32:18,320 --> 00:32:20,360 Speaker 1: to you again, probably after the first of the new year. 548 00:32:20,480 --> 00:32:21,959 Speaker 1: Merry Christmas, Happy New Year to you. 549 00:32:23,200 --> 00:32:25,640 Speaker 5: Okay, guys, you too, have fun. Thank you. 550 00:32:26,680 --> 00:32:27,840 Speaker 2: That's Bill O'Reilly. 551 00:32:27,920 --> 00:32:31,720 Speaker 1: When tragedy strikes the tunnel, The Towers Foundation honors America's 552 00:32:31,720 --> 00:32:36,320 Speaker 1: heroes and their families. Like United States Army specialist Andy Kingsley. 553 00:32:36,840 --> 00:32:39,320 Speaker 1: Andy served our nation as part of the eighty second 554 00:32:39,320 --> 00:32:44,360 Speaker 1: Airborne Division. Throughout his distinguished career, he received various awards 555 00:32:44,400 --> 00:32:48,640 Speaker 1: and decorations, including a Purple Heart. But while Andy was deployed, 556 00:32:48,680 --> 00:32:51,840 Speaker 1: he was severely injured. The incident resulted in the loss 557 00:32:51,840 --> 00:32:56,360 Speaker 1: of his right leg, partial vision, loss, a traumatic brain injury, 558 00:32:56,440 --> 00:32:59,400 Speaker 1: and more. He spent over a year at Walter Reed 559 00:32:59,520 --> 00:33:03,520 Speaker 1: National Military Medical Center learning how to navigate life with 560 00:33:03,680 --> 00:33:07,680 Speaker 1: his injuries. Living with severe combat injuries can make even 561 00:33:07,720 --> 00:33:12,360 Speaker 1: life's daily task challenging. That's why receiving a specially adapted 562 00:33:12,400 --> 00:33:15,880 Speaker 1: mortgage free smart home from Tunnel to Towers has been 563 00:33:15,960 --> 00:33:18,920 Speaker 1: life changing for Andy. It allows him to live with 564 00:33:19,000 --> 00:33:23,000 Speaker 1: greater independence and dignity. This is the power of giving 565 00:33:23,080 --> 00:33:26,080 Speaker 1: to Tunnel to Towers. Many more heroes like Andy Knieger 566 00:33:26,160 --> 00:33:29,720 Speaker 1: support donate eleven dollars a month to Tunnel to Towers 567 00:33:29,760 --> 00:33:31,200 Speaker 1: at T two t dot org. 568 00:33:31,600 --> 00:33:34,440 Speaker 2: That's t the number two t dot org. 569 00:33:35,240 --> 00:33:37,840 Speaker 5: Want to begin to know when you're on the go. 570 00:33:38,320 --> 00:33:42,480 Speaker 4: The Team forty seven podcast trump highlights from the week 571 00:33:42,800 --> 00:33:46,040 Speaker 4: Sundays at noon Eastern in the klan Buck podcast feed. 572 00:33:46,200 --> 00:33:49,320 Speaker 4: Find it on the iHeartRadio app or wherever you get 573 00:33:49,360 --> 00:33:50,240 Speaker 4: your podcasts. 574 00:33:51,880 --> 00:33:53,960 Speaker 1: Play Travis with the Clay and Buck Show, wishing you 575 00:33:54,040 --> 00:33:57,320 Speaker 1: and your family of very merry Christmas and a happy 576 00:33:57,360 --> 00:34:00,680 Speaker 1: New Year.

So we 580 00:34:09,480 --> 00:34:13,880 Speaker 1: have much to discuss with the Trump round table that 581 00:34:13,960 --> 00:34:14,680 Speaker 1: occurred yesterday. 582 00:34:14,719 --> 00:34:15,680 Speaker 2: We're just talking to Bill. 583 00:34:15,560 --> 00:34:23,040 Speaker 7: O'Reilly about the situation of affordability, and Bill is saying 584 00:34:23,080 --> 00:34:25,600 Speaker 7: that there's a lot of perception driving that, more so 585 00:34:25,680 --> 00:34:28,680 Speaker 7: even than the actual cold hard numbers if you look 586 00:34:28,719 --> 00:34:31,440 Speaker 7: into it, which I'm sure that is the case. 587 00:34:32,120 --> 00:34:34,600 Speaker 1: But Trump at an ECON round table. Look, he's going 588 00:34:34,640 --> 00:34:37,840 Speaker 1: to Pennsylvania to address affordability because it's a political issue, 589 00:34:38,560 --> 00:34:41,759 Speaker 1: whether the numbers bear that out entirely or not. And 590 00:34:41,800 --> 00:34:43,560 Speaker 1: a lot of people do feel like, well, first of all, 591 00:34:43,560 --> 00:34:46,360 Speaker 1: prices are high, they've remained high. So you have to 592 00:34:46,360 --> 00:34:50,399 Speaker 1: get into Okay, is it that affordability is not an issue, 593 00:34:50,480 --> 00:34:52,279 Speaker 1: or is that it's not Trump's fault that affordability is 594 00:34:52,280 --> 00:34:55,600 Speaker 1: an issue, or a whole range of things, but one 595 00:34:55,640 --> 00:35:00,839 Speaker 1: thing that is definitely. The case that came up is Obamacare, Clay. 596 00:35:00,840 --> 00:35:04,160 Speaker 1: These new Obamacare premiums, they're just going up and up, 597 00:35:04,680 --> 00:35:08,520 Speaker 1: and networks are getting smaller and smaller, and sure enough, 598 00:35:09,400 --> 00:35:12,160 Speaker 1: the whole promise of Obamacare is falling apart. And that's 599 00:35:12,200 --> 00:35:14,360 Speaker 1: been the case for a long time. Trump here this 600 00:35:14,440 --> 00:35:16,799 Speaker 1: is cut twenty one, was saying, Look, it's been great 601 00:35:16,840 --> 00:35:19,360 Speaker 1: for the insurance companies. It's been really bad for people 602 00:35:19,440 --> 00:35:20,600 Speaker 1: that actually need healthcare. 603 00:35:20,600 --> 00:35:21,279 Speaker 2: Play twenty one. 604 00:35:21,440 --> 00:35:25,480 Speaker 8: The insurance companies stock has gone up by seventeen eighteen 605 00:35:25,560 --> 00:35:26,200 Speaker 8: hundred percent. 606 00:35:26,400 --> 00:35:28,719 Speaker 9: They're taking in trillions of dollars. 607 00:35:29,160 --> 00:35:32,000 Speaker 10: I don't want to pay the insurance companies anything, and 608 00:35:32,040 --> 00:35:34,560 Speaker 10: then I know a lot of them, but they're owned 609 00:35:34,560 --> 00:35:40,080 Speaker 10: by the Democrats, and the Democrats have Obamacare is a setup. 610 00:35:39,760 --> 00:35:41,640 Speaker 9: To make insurance companies rich. 611 00:35:41,920 --> 00:35:44,120 Speaker 8: And I want to pay the people, and I want 612 00:35:44,160 --> 00:35:47,280 Speaker 8: the people to go out and buy their own healthcare. 613 00:35:47,920 --> 00:35:49,719 Speaker 8: And that's what we want to do, and that's what 614 00:35:49,719 --> 00:35:53,760 Speaker 8: the Republicans want to do, because Obamacare is a disaster. 615 00:35:55,239 --> 00:35:58,480 Speaker 1: Clay, it is a disaster, and it's time Republicans dig 616 00:35:58,520 --> 00:36:00,920 Speaker 1: into this so that Democrats can't control the message. 617 00:36:00,920 --> 00:36:03,800 Speaker 2: And going into the midterms, all of healthcare. It is 618 00:36:03,840 --> 00:36:04,440 Speaker 2: a disaster. 619 00:36:04,680 --> 00:36:07,520 Speaker 1: And I don't care if you're a Democrat, Republican or independent. 620 00:36:07,680 --> 00:36:11,320 Speaker 1: Nobody has any idea what things cost. Nobody is happy. 621 00:36:11,520 --> 00:36:15,000 Speaker 1: I would submit to you that everyone's least favorite thing 622 00:36:15,480 --> 00:36:18,440 Speaker 1: almost in the world is having to get on the 623 00:36:18,480 --> 00:36:21,680 Speaker 1: phone with an insurance company adjuster and try to explain 624 00:36:21,880 --> 00:36:25,319 Speaker 1: why you're being overcharged. To the extent that you can 625 00:36:25,400 --> 00:36:28,799 Speaker 1: even tell what your bill has on it. It is 626 00:36:28,960 --> 00:36:34,080 Speaker 1: all just a huge game of hide the hide the ball. 627 00:36:34,480 --> 00:36:38,279 Speaker 1: And what Trump is saying is in essence a very 628 00:36:38,400 --> 00:36:43,680 Speaker 1: real position, and honestly, I think most people out there 629 00:36:43,760 --> 00:36:47,520 Speaker 1: would probably prefer this. It's let you have the money 630 00:36:47,880 --> 00:36:51,080 Speaker 1: and then make your own decisions about what healthcare you need. 631 00:36:51,400 --> 00:36:53,920 Speaker 1: I don't even think most people realize, if they're not 632 00:36:54,080 --> 00:37:00,839 Speaker 1: the employer, what percentage of your overall salary goes for healthcare. Now, 633 00:37:01,880 --> 00:37:04,200 Speaker 1: this is crazy. I mean, there are lots of people 634 00:37:04,200 --> 00:37:08,920 Speaker 1: out there paying twenty five thirty thirty five thousand dollars 635 00:37:08,960 --> 00:37:13,320 Speaker 1: a year for your health care plans inside of whatever 636 00:37:13,400 --> 00:37:16,560 Speaker 1: job you get, and you don't see that money, you 637 00:37:16,600 --> 00:37:19,160 Speaker 1: don't have any idea how it's being allocated. I think 638 00:37:19,280 --> 00:37:22,840 Speaker 1: huge percentages of people out there listening to us would 639 00:37:22,920 --> 00:37:25,400 Speaker 1: like to get all of that money tax free to 640 00:37:25,560 --> 00:37:28,719 Speaker 1: themselves and then be able to make the choices about 641 00:37:28,719 --> 00:37:31,720 Speaker 1: how to best allocate those resources for them and their family. 642 00:37:32,200 --> 00:37:36,160 Speaker 1: And so what we basically have is a huge subsidy 643 00:37:36,239 --> 00:37:39,080 Speaker 1: for all the health insurance companies of America. That is 644 00:37:39,120 --> 00:37:43,360 Speaker 1: what Obamacare is. And the problem here, Buck is the math. 645 00:37:44,120 --> 00:37:49,120 Speaker 1: We have way more older people entering into needing substantial 646 00:37:49,120 --> 00:37:52,160 Speaker 1: amounts of health care than we do young people. And 647 00:37:52,320 --> 00:37:53,959 Speaker 1: by the way, this is not just for health care, 648 00:37:54,000 --> 00:37:57,240 Speaker 1: this is social security, this is everything. All of these 649 00:37:57,440 --> 00:38:02,439 Speaker 1: government policies are predicated on constantly having way more young 650 00:38:02,520 --> 00:38:04,280 Speaker 1: people than we do old people. 651 00:38:04,719 --> 00:38:05,560 Speaker 2: And in the next. 652 00:38:05,400 --> 00:38:08,480 Speaker 1: Twenty thirty forty years, the reality is we're going to 653 00:38:08,560 --> 00:38:11,040 Speaker 1: have way more old people than we are young people. 654 00:38:11,320 --> 00:38:13,319 Speaker 1: And that's true in a lot of countries. And the 655 00:38:13,320 --> 00:38:17,040 Speaker 1: shell game, the hide the ball aspects of this are 656 00:38:17,080 --> 00:38:19,040 Speaker 1: going to become more and more prominent, and people are 657 00:38:19,040 --> 00:38:22,359 Speaker 1: going to get angrier because they don't feel like they're 658 00:38:22,360 --> 00:38:24,960 Speaker 1: getting a good value for their money. I mean, I 659 00:38:25,000 --> 00:38:26,680 Speaker 1: hate to say it, but this is part of what 660 00:38:26,760 --> 00:38:30,080 Speaker 1: motivated the United Healthcare CEO shooting. Is people are just 661 00:38:30,360 --> 00:38:36,520 Speaker 1: misallocating anger, and in many ways lashing out when. 662 00:38:36,360 --> 00:38:39,360 Speaker 2: You see what the real structure of Obamacare is. 663 00:38:39,400 --> 00:38:42,320 Speaker 1: You have to have a lot of young, healthy people 664 00:38:42,880 --> 00:38:45,400 Speaker 1: who don't use very much in the way of healthcare 665 00:38:45,440 --> 00:38:49,680 Speaker 1: resources to spend into a system that is going to 666 00:38:49,680 --> 00:38:52,920 Speaker 1: put a huge majority of it on older, sicker people. 667 00:38:53,640 --> 00:38:56,200 Speaker 1: And that's what so the whole system is a redistribution 668 00:38:56,320 --> 00:39:00,000 Speaker 1: of wealth via healthcare. And then beyond that, there's also 669 00:39:00,239 --> 00:39:03,799 Speaker 1: people who are getting subsidized in the programs and all 670 00:39:03,840 --> 00:39:06,759 Speaker 1: these exchanges. That's what was really an issue in this shutdown. 671 00:39:07,080 --> 00:39:09,760 Speaker 1: Government just funneling money into it to make it seem 672 00:39:09,840 --> 00:39:13,160 Speaker 1: not as bad as it really is for individuals. But 673 00:39:13,560 --> 00:39:15,360 Speaker 1: you have a lot of people who are getting massive 674 00:39:15,360 --> 00:39:17,800 Speaker 1: subsidies because if they had to pay what the market 675 00:39:17,880 --> 00:39:21,800 Speaker 1: rate is based upon the system of redistribution, the pricing 676 00:39:21,840 --> 00:39:23,439 Speaker 1: on this would be insane. I mean, you'd be paying 677 00:39:23,480 --> 00:39:26,440 Speaker 1: fifty grand a year for health insurance, remember, not for 678 00:39:26,520 --> 00:39:27,120 Speaker 1: health care. 679 00:39:27,480 --> 00:39:29,239 Speaker 2: You're still on the hook to pay for. 680 00:39:29,200 --> 00:39:31,400 Speaker 1: Your health care, you know, you know, twenty percent of 681 00:39:31,400 --> 00:39:33,680 Speaker 1: the one hundred percent of the whatever percent they say, 682 00:39:33,680 --> 00:39:35,960 Speaker 1: it's like, oh, you know, customary and normal or however 683 00:39:36,040 --> 00:39:38,640 Speaker 1: they phrase the language so that they can play all 684 00:39:38,640 --> 00:39:41,680 Speaker 1: these games the insurance companies. So that's a giant mess. 685 00:39:42,800 --> 00:39:45,759 Speaker 1: And then there's also this because we've been discussing the 686 00:39:45,840 --> 00:39:50,960 Speaker 1: boat strikes in mostly in the Caribbean against the Narco terrorists. 687 00:39:51,080 --> 00:39:54,520 Speaker 1: This is Trump with ABC's Rachel Scott. A little bit 688 00:39:54,560 --> 00:39:56,880 Speaker 1: of a back and forth here. There's now a pushplay 689 00:39:56,960 --> 00:39:59,840 Speaker 1: to have the video release because clearly we have video. 690 00:40:00,400 --> 00:40:03,680 Speaker 1: They were under ISAs, are there under surveillance. This has 691 00:40:03,760 --> 00:40:06,440 Speaker 1: cut twenty Trump doesn't like this request. 692 00:40:06,760 --> 00:40:08,880 Speaker 9: Whatever heckseet wants to do is okay with you. He 693 00:40:08,920 --> 00:40:10,040 Speaker 9: now said it's under review. 694 00:40:10,080 --> 00:40:12,839 Speaker 3: Are you ordering the secretary to release that full video? 695 00:40:13,080 --> 00:40:14,840 Speaker 9: Whatever he decides, it's okay with me. 696 00:40:15,400 --> 00:40:17,520 Speaker 10: So every boat we knock out of the water, every 697 00:40:17,560 --> 00:40:20,040 Speaker 10: boat we saved twenty five thousand American lives. 698 00:40:21,000 --> 00:40:23,319 Speaker 9: That was a boat loaded up with drugs. I saw 699 00:40:23,400 --> 00:40:23,840 Speaker 9: the video. 700 00:40:24,160 --> 00:40:27,399 Speaker 8: They were trying to turn the boat back to where 701 00:40:27,440 --> 00:40:28,160 Speaker 8: it could float. 702 00:40:30,239 --> 00:40:30,479 Speaker 5: Video. 703 00:40:30,800 --> 00:40:34,759 Speaker 9: Didn't I just tell you that said obnoxious reporter in 704 00:40:34,800 --> 00:40:35,640 Speaker 9: the whole place. 705 00:40:35,760 --> 00:40:38,120 Speaker 8: Let me just tell you you are an obnoxious, a 706 00:40:38,239 --> 00:40:40,040 Speaker 8: terrible actually a terrible reporter. 707 00:40:40,200 --> 00:40:42,919 Speaker 9: And it's always the same thing with you. I told you, 708 00:40:43,040 --> 00:40:45,920 Speaker 9: whatever Pete hegseet wants to do? Is okay with me? 709 00:40:47,840 --> 00:40:51,120 Speaker 1: There you go, Clay laying it down. They're trying to 710 00:40:51,160 --> 00:40:54,120 Speaker 1: create a fall guy here. They tried to create the 711 00:40:54,160 --> 00:40:56,520 Speaker 1: Admiral as the fall guy. They tried to create hag 712 00:40:56,560 --> 00:40:59,200 Speaker 1: Set as the fall guy. They've tried to create Trump 713 00:40:59,239 --> 00:41:02,600 Speaker 1: as the fall guy. This story, other than on the 714 00:41:02,680 --> 00:41:05,440 Speaker 1: far left wing, has vanished as soon as the video 715 00:41:05,680 --> 00:41:09,440 Speaker 1: was shown in behind closed Doors in Congress. Now, I 716 00:41:09,480 --> 00:41:12,080 Speaker 1: know some Democrats came out and they said, oh my goodness, 717 00:41:12,120 --> 00:41:14,279 Speaker 1: I can't believe this happened. But the fact that the 718 00:41:14,360 --> 00:41:17,160 Speaker 1: story vanished kind of tells you what the video is 719 00:41:17,200 --> 00:41:19,920 Speaker 1: going to show. And I presume the video will show 720 00:41:20,880 --> 00:41:24,160 Speaker 1: what has been reported already. And the numbers came out 721 00:41:24,239 --> 00:41:27,000 Speaker 1: from the Harvard Harris poll that I believe it was 722 00:41:27,040 --> 00:41:30,440 Speaker 1: fifty eight percent of Americans support the strikes that are 723 00:41:30,440 --> 00:41:34,920 Speaker 1: going on with Venezuelan Narco boats, forty two percent disagree. 724 00:41:35,040 --> 00:41:38,439 Speaker 1: And I bet if you show that video that it'll 725 00:41:38,440 --> 00:41:40,839 Speaker 1: break down. About sixty percent of people will say, yeah, 726 00:41:40,960 --> 00:41:44,719 Speaker 1: I agree with that, and about forty percent will say no, 727 00:41:45,040 --> 00:41:50,200 Speaker 1: I disagree. But this is the world in which we're in, 728 00:41:50,600 --> 00:41:54,160 Speaker 1: where you kind of have people floundering in every direction 729 00:41:54,760 --> 00:41:58,720 Speaker 1: trying to find something to be able to pin to Trump, 730 00:41:58,880 --> 00:42:02,040 Speaker 1: and so far they really aren't able to find anything. 731 00:42:02,480 --> 00:42:07,800 Speaker 1: And I think it's going to be a challenge going 732 00:42:07,840 --> 00:42:12,080 Speaker 1: forward how exactly they convey their anger over Trump. And 733 00:42:12,320 --> 00:42:15,640 Speaker 1: we come back, we can play audio because Susie Wilds 734 00:42:15,719 --> 00:42:19,200 Speaker 1: Buck is telling everybody that Trump plans to be on 735 00:42:19,239 --> 00:42:23,239 Speaker 1: the road campaigning, starting in Pennsylvania right now to sell 736 00:42:23,280 --> 00:42:25,480 Speaker 1: the agenda that he has put in place, and I 737 00:42:25,560 --> 00:42:29,120 Speaker 1: grabbed a picture. I need to tweet it out again. 738 00:42:29,320 --> 00:42:33,600 Speaker 1: I think a large degree of Trump's success is just 739 00:42:33,640 --> 00:42:37,360 Speaker 1: being ignored because he saw things so quickly on the 740 00:42:37,360 --> 00:42:42,839 Speaker 1: border that almost no one is able to even contemplate 741 00:42:43,160 --> 00:42:45,279 Speaker 1: how quickly he saw things. And I was reading our 742 00:42:45,320 --> 00:42:48,000 Speaker 1: buddy Ryan Gardusky this morning as I was doing my prep. 743 00:42:49,000 --> 00:42:51,520 Speaker 1: The White House has said about two million people have 744 00:42:51,640 --> 00:42:54,960 Speaker 1: self deported and or been removed who are illegals. And 745 00:42:55,080 --> 00:42:59,480 Speaker 1: Ryan Gardusky looked at the data on newborns in the 746 00:42:59,520 --> 00:43:03,480 Speaker 1: country and he said, actually, the data does support the 747 00:43:03,520 --> 00:43:07,640 Speaker 1: idea that there are increasing numbers of people leaving the 748 00:43:07,680 --> 00:43:13,080 Speaker 1: country because they're not having kids. Non citizens, illegals are 749 00:43:13,120 --> 00:43:16,000 Speaker 1: not having kids at the rates that they were before, 750 00:43:16,239 --> 00:43:18,399 Speaker 1: But when you look at the graphic, it's really kind 751 00:43:18,440 --> 00:43:23,799 Speaker 1: of amazing to see. Yes, the Trump immigration policies are 752 00:43:23,840 --> 00:43:27,240 Speaker 1: working in ways that aren't even necessarily at the center 753 00:43:27,280 --> 00:43:32,239 Speaker 1: of the conversation on immigration, but are very very effective. 754 00:43:32,560 --> 00:43:36,200 Speaker 1: On the other side of things. You have Zoron Mamdani 755 00:43:36,400 --> 00:43:41,400 Speaker 1: in New York City telling people telling illegals how to 756 00:43:41,480 --> 00:43:42,880 Speaker 1: avoid law enforcement. 757 00:43:42,920 --> 00:43:44,560 Speaker 2: This is cut twenty four. Listen to this. 758 00:43:44,480 --> 00:43:47,120 Speaker 9: One if you encounter ICE. 759 00:43:47,280 --> 00:43:49,279 Speaker 11: These are the things that every New Yorker should know. 760 00:43:49,480 --> 00:43:49,760 Speaker 2: First. 761 00:43:50,040 --> 00:43:53,320 Speaker 11: ICE cannot enter into private spaces like your home, school, 762 00:43:53,560 --> 00:43:56,200 Speaker 11: or private area of your workplace without a judicial warrant 763 00:43:56,280 --> 00:44:00,279 Speaker 11: signed by a judge. That looks like this does not 764 00:44:00,360 --> 00:44:02,600 Speaker 11: have a judicial warrant signed by a judge. You have 765 00:44:02,680 --> 00:44:04,960 Speaker 11: the right to say I do not consent to entry, 766 00:44:05,080 --> 00:44:06,040 Speaker 11: and the right to keep. 767 00:44:05,880 --> 00:44:06,600 Speaker 5: Your door closed. 768 00:44:06,880 --> 00:44:09,640 Speaker 11: Sometimes ICE will show you paperwork it looks like this 769 00:44:10,640 --> 00:44:12,480 Speaker 11: and tell you that they have the right to arrest you. 770 00:44:13,080 --> 00:44:13,720 Speaker 2: That is false. 771 00:44:13,920 --> 00:44:16,000 Speaker 11: ICE is legally allowed to lie to you, but you 772 00:44:16,040 --> 00:44:18,440 Speaker 11: have the right to remain silent. If you're being detained, 773 00:44:18,520 --> 00:44:20,920 Speaker 11: you may always ask am I free to go repeatedly 774 00:44:21,040 --> 00:44:23,439 Speaker 11: until I answer you. You are legally allowed to film 775 00:44:23,480 --> 00:44:25,720 Speaker 11: ice as long as you do not interfere with an arrest. 776 00:44:25,800 --> 00:44:28,600 Speaker 11: New Yorkers have a constitutional right to protest, and when 777 00:44:28,600 --> 00:44:30,560 Speaker 11: I'm there, we will protect that right. 778 00:44:31,440 --> 00:44:33,880 Speaker 1: I had to say, imagine if you did this for drug dealers, 779 00:44:34,360 --> 00:44:36,680 Speaker 1: all of that would be true as well. Let me 780 00:44:36,719 --> 00:44:39,680 Speaker 1: be clear, everything that he said there is true in general, 781 00:44:39,760 --> 00:44:42,799 Speaker 1: for any criminal, for any violation of law. All of 782 00:44:42,800 --> 00:44:45,880 Speaker 1: that is true. But he's doing it for illegals because 783 00:44:45,880 --> 00:44:51,360 Speaker 1: they're a for Democrats, illegals are a protected class of 784 00:44:51,520 --> 00:44:54,160 Speaker 1: person Clay. And this is what is going to continue 785 00:44:54,200 --> 00:44:56,000 Speaker 1: to be a huge problem from this is what is 786 00:44:56,040 --> 00:44:58,920 Speaker 1: going to continue to drag them down because they can't 787 00:44:59,280 --> 00:45:04,640 Speaker 1: avoid that reality without completely inflaming the left wing base 788 00:45:04,680 --> 00:45:05,320 Speaker 1: of their party. 789 00:45:06,480 --> 00:45:06,719 Speaker 6: Yeah. 790 00:45:06,840 --> 00:45:09,520 Speaker 1: Look, and they're on the wrong on this issue. They're 791 00:45:09,560 --> 00:45:12,960 Speaker 1: on the wrong on every issue, which is why I 792 00:45:13,000 --> 00:45:16,600 Speaker 1: think you're going to see them just try to pivot 793 00:45:16,719 --> 00:45:21,160 Speaker 1: and blame Trump for the fact that Biden's inflation drove 794 00:45:21,239 --> 00:45:24,040 Speaker 1: up the prices of good so substantially. That's the reality. 795 00:45:24,080 --> 00:45:26,960 Speaker 1: Even though inflation has come back down substantially where at 796 00:45:27,000 --> 00:45:30,040 Speaker 1: two point seven percent, I think target is two percent. 797 00:45:30,320 --> 00:45:32,520 Speaker 1: People are just angry, and I get it. Because it 798 00:45:32,560 --> 00:45:38,000 Speaker 1: feels like goods costs more than they should and until 799 00:45:38,080 --> 00:45:42,640 Speaker 1: that starts to settle in, that rapid increase becomes embedded 800 00:45:42,680 --> 00:45:45,520 Speaker 1: into our minds as to what things should cost. This 801 00:45:45,680 --> 00:45:50,040 Speaker 1: is the pernicious nature of inflation. It is diabolical in 802 00:45:50,080 --> 00:45:52,320 Speaker 1: its impact to frustrate everyone. 803 00:45:53,800 --> 00:45:54,440 Speaker 2: Absolutely. 804 00:45:54,520 --> 00:45:56,279 Speaker 1: We'll take some of your calls and talkbacks here come 805 00:45:56,360 --> 00:45:58,200 Speaker 1: up in a second, so make sure you send them in. 806 00:45:58,280 --> 00:46:00,640 Speaker 1: Go to the iHeart app, go to the Cluck page, 807 00:46:00,680 --> 00:46:03,319 Speaker 1: subscribe to the Clay and Buck podcast network, and then 808 00:46:03,320 --> 00:46:05,239 Speaker 1: press that little microphone, send us a talk back, or 809 00:46:05,280 --> 00:46:07,920 Speaker 1: just call in live.

You're too young to be going straight And 928 00:51:41,840 --> 00:51:46,400 Speaker 1: the college donations. I am wrapping myself in the mantle 929 00:51:46,520 --> 00:51:48,600 Speaker 1: of uncle uncle Dave Ramsey on this one. He would 930 00:51:48,600 --> 00:51:50,919 Speaker 1: totally approve.

They actually don't want some beige sweater. 937 00:52:07,480 --> 00:52:09,400 Speaker 1: They actually just want money so they can, you know, 938 00:52:09,480 --> 00:52:11,080 Speaker 1: have money in their bank account. They can do with 939 00:52:11,120 --> 00:52:15,360 Speaker 1: what they want. I we stopped doing presence among the 940 00:52:15,440 --> 00:52:19,720 Speaker 1: adults in my immediate family at my I wouldn't say. 941 00:52:19,600 --> 00:52:22,719 Speaker 2: Demand, but I pretty much demanded this. I think. I 942 00:52:22,719 --> 00:52:23,840 Speaker 2: don't know if my dad's listening. 943 00:52:23,880 --> 00:52:26,120 Speaker 1: I think when he gave me a belt for the 944 00:52:26,160 --> 00:52:28,719 Speaker 1: fourth year in a row, I was like, he's not 945 00:52:28,719 --> 00:52:30,320 Speaker 1: going to be happy with me telling this story. 946 00:52:30,440 --> 00:52:31,680 Speaker 2: But I think when he gave me a. 947 00:52:31,640 --> 00:52:34,239 Speaker 1: Belt four years in a row, the belt's different or 948 00:52:34,239 --> 00:52:36,480 Speaker 1: was it like different color belts? Was it like black 949 00:52:36,560 --> 00:52:39,080 Speaker 1: leather belts, like maybe slightly different buckle on them. 950 00:52:39,120 --> 00:52:40,759 Speaker 2: But he was just like, here you go. So I'm like, 951 00:52:40,800 --> 00:52:41,480 Speaker 2: here's a belt. 952 00:52:42,120 --> 00:52:43,520 Speaker 1: I was like, thank you. I'm going to add it 953 00:52:43,560 --> 00:52:46,600 Speaker 1: to my belt collection. So which is all from you? 954 00:52:46,640 --> 00:52:48,879 Speaker 1: Because I don't even really wear belts. So I will 955 00:52:48,920 --> 00:52:52,439 Speaker 1: say that we decided as a family to get rid 956 00:52:52,520 --> 00:52:55,880 Speaker 1: of that pressure to get things last minute. It is 957 00:52:55,960 --> 00:52:58,759 Speaker 1: so great. It is such a nice you know, you 958 00:52:58,760 --> 00:53:01,200 Speaker 1: don't have to get to just everyone, just stop with 959 00:53:01,280 --> 00:53:04,400 Speaker 1: this stuff.

You had to 984 00:54:14,560 --> 00:54:17,440 Speaker 1: get out that catalog. You had to order it, It 985 00:54:17,520 --> 00:54:20,319 Speaker 1: had to arrive. It took ten days or a month 986 00:54:20,440 --> 00:54:24,239 Speaker 1: or whatever. I can get anything I want delivered tomorrow. 987 00:54:24,600 --> 00:54:27,960 Speaker 1: I actually don't want for any material thing in a 988 00:54:27,960 --> 00:54:29,719 Speaker 1: way that someone's going to give it to me for 989 00:54:30,040 --> 00:54:31,280 Speaker 1: and it's gonna carry so funny. 990 00:54:31,280 --> 00:54:33,280 Speaker 2: She's like, well, shouldn't I get you? I'm like, no, honey, 991 00:54:33,360 --> 00:54:34,319 Speaker 2: I love you. 992 00:54:34,000 --> 00:54:36,960 Speaker 1: Don't buy me an expensive watch with my own money, 993 00:54:37,000 --> 00:54:39,000 Speaker 1: like I've got it. I'm fine, Like I don't need that, 994 00:54:39,120 --> 00:54:41,120 Speaker 1: I don't want that. I'm wearing a rubber wedding room 995 00:54:41,200 --> 00:54:42,839 Speaker 1: right now because I can't even find my wedding ring, 996 00:54:42,840 --> 00:54:44,000 Speaker 1: which is driving me nuts. 997 00:54:44,200 --> 00:54:45,879 Speaker 2: So that's where we are. 998 00:54:46,400 --> 00:54:48,760 Speaker 1: I agree with all that we probably have destroyed eighty 999 00:54:48,760 --> 00:54:52,120 Speaker 1: percent of the Christmas holiday spirit out there in this segment. Yeah, 1000 00:54:52,160 --> 00:54:55,799 Speaker 1: except for our sponsors. Christmas gifts of plenty. That's where 1001 00:54:55,840 --> 00:54:59,160 Speaker 1: you gotta go. Don't ever forget that Crockett Coffee love 1002 00:54:59,200 --> 00:55:01,000 Speaker 1: to get you coffee for Christmas because. 1003 00:55:00,800 --> 00:55:01,200 Speaker 2: You need that. 1004 00:55:01,640 --> 00:55:03,640 Speaker 1: No, but I just really mean the gifts for immediate 1005 00:55:03,680 --> 00:55:08,840 Speaker 1: family members that you know. Come on, I am sold 1006 00:55:08,960 --> 00:55:11,680 Speaker 1: on only kids should get Christmas gifts. I think it 1007 00:55:11,719 --> 00:55:14,200 Speaker 1: would be a revolutionary thing that would actually be super 1008 00:55:14,200 --> 00:55:16,480 Speaker 1: beneficial to the country. Not to mention the number of 1009 00:55:16,560 --> 00:55:19,000 Speaker 1: men that just get blown up every year because they're 1010 00:55:19,080 --> 00:55:21,359 Speaker 1: like your dad buying belts because they have no idea 1011 00:55:21,440 --> 00:55:24,600 Speaker 1: what to get people. I mean, what do you get 1012 00:55:24,960 --> 00:55:27,440 Speaker 1: to your point? Like, do you know I mean wallets 1013 00:55:27,520 --> 00:55:30,000 Speaker 1: I had amassed over the years for my dad giving 1014 00:55:30,040 --> 00:55:33,720 Speaker 1: me tes ties. I mean every dad out there ties, 1015 00:55:34,680 --> 00:55:38,600 Speaker 1: even moms, Like where's that great Saturday Night Live skit 1016 00:55:38,680 --> 00:55:40,959 Speaker 1: that they did which was actually very funny And mom 1017 00:55:41,000 --> 00:55:41,680 Speaker 1: got a robe? 1018 00:55:41,960 --> 00:55:42,600 Speaker 2: Do you remember that? 1019 00:55:42,719 --> 00:55:45,600 Speaker 1: Like it's a great song, you know, Like because Mom's 1020 00:55:45,640 --> 00:55:48,279 Speaker 1: responsible for buying gifts for everybody and then every year 1021 00:55:48,320 --> 00:55:50,440 Speaker 1: she gets a coffee mug or a robe or whatever 1022 00:55:50,480 --> 00:55:53,520 Speaker 1: it is. Yeah, No, I agree. By the way, I 1023 00:55:53,560 --> 00:55:58,080 Speaker 1: didn't expect to get this criticism today. Steve and Eden 1024 00:55:58,200 --> 00:55:59,960 Speaker 1: North Carolina. He's fired. 1025 00:56:00,200 --> 00:56:00,439 Speaker 2: Buck. 1026 00:56:00,480 --> 00:56:02,560 Speaker 1: I don't know if you know the criticism coming our way, 1027 00:56:02,840 --> 00:56:06,080 Speaker 1: But Steve, what you got for us? 1028 00:56:06,719 --> 00:56:06,959 Speaker 5: Hey? 1029 00:56:08,560 --> 00:56:11,360 Speaker 12: Hey Buck, this ain't you son? This is another Steve. 1030 00:56:11,400 --> 00:56:15,240 Speaker 12: But anyway, you know, every time I hear people talking 1031 00:56:15,280 --> 00:56:18,279 Speaker 12: about the greatest president, I wouldn't get erked a little bit. 1032 00:56:18,320 --> 00:56:21,480 Speaker 12: I mean, everybody pretty much says Abraham Lincoln, what about 1033 00:56:21,520 --> 00:56:22,520 Speaker 12: George Washington? 1034 00:56:23,239 --> 00:56:27,359 Speaker 1: So you think the show, Steve, remember, yeah, you think 1035 00:56:27,400 --> 00:56:30,920 Speaker 1: that the show has been too disrespectful of George Washington today, 1036 00:56:32,640 --> 00:56:34,839 Speaker 1: I'm not I actually would co sign Steve on this. 1037 00:56:35,040 --> 00:56:35,279 Speaker 2: Steve. 1038 00:56:35,400 --> 00:56:36,919 Speaker 1: Just to be clear, I didn't say that was Bill 1039 00:56:36,920 --> 00:56:41,000 Speaker 1: O'Reilly who said Abraham Lincoln's clear number one I would 1040 00:56:41,080 --> 00:56:43,400 Speaker 1: put I would put gw on the number one spot, 1041 00:56:43,480 --> 00:56:45,680 Speaker 1: no question in my mind, for a whole bunch of reasons. 1042 00:56:45,719 --> 00:56:46,400 Speaker 12: How could you not? 1043 00:56:47,640 --> 00:56:50,439 Speaker 2: I'm with you, buddy, I don't know. I'd actually i'd 1044 00:56:50,480 --> 00:56:51,120 Speaker 2: actually put in. 1045 00:56:51,200 --> 00:56:55,160 Speaker 12: Below you created with us having the United States of America. 1046 00:56:55,840 --> 00:56:59,960 Speaker 1: Look here I'm reading right now, Rick Atkinson, great Triller. 1047 00:57:00,280 --> 00:57:04,440 Speaker 1: He's on volume two, all about the Revolutionary War. I 1048 00:57:04,440 --> 00:57:09,720 Speaker 1: would actually put Washington three. I think that i'd. 1049 00:57:09,560 --> 00:57:12,600 Speaker 2: Put him now. He's just trolling you, Steve. He's just trolling. 1050 00:57:12,719 --> 00:57:14,200 Speaker 2: I'm telling you right now, i'd put him third. 1051 00:57:14,239 --> 00:57:16,120 Speaker 1: I think you gotta go Lincoln one, because I don't 1052 00:57:16,120 --> 00:57:18,520 Speaker 1: think we would have a country if Lincoln hadn't stepped up. 1053 00:57:19,880 --> 00:57:23,360 Speaker 1: And I would go to Jefferson because I think the 1054 00:57:23,440 --> 00:57:27,760 Speaker 1: Louisiana purchase was probably the most important decision that anybody made. Now, 1055 00:57:27,760 --> 00:57:31,480 Speaker 1: when you're talking gold bront gold, silver bronze, like that 1056 00:57:31,560 --> 00:57:33,920 Speaker 1: is pretty good stuff. Let me also, I'm gonna really 1057 00:57:33,960 --> 00:57:35,800 Speaker 1: fire Steve up. Thank you for the call, Steve. I 1058 00:57:35,800 --> 00:57:40,280 Speaker 1: think he was confusing Speed with Steve. He thought your 1059 00:57:40,320 --> 00:57:43,280 Speaker 1: son's name is Speed, not my son's name is actually 1060 00:57:43,320 --> 00:57:46,920 Speaker 1: like going fast, which is what Clay does in a car, 1061 00:57:47,120 --> 00:57:48,680 Speaker 1: the opposite of what I do in a car. But 1062 00:57:48,920 --> 00:57:53,920 Speaker 1: Speed is my son's name, not Steve. But close enough. Okay, 1063 00:57:54,000 --> 00:57:59,720 Speaker 1: So I think Washington's actually overrated in some respects. He 1064 00:57:59,800 --> 00:58:02,480 Speaker 1: was actually not a very good general. He made a 1065 00:58:02,520 --> 00:58:05,920 Speaker 1: lot of awful choices. If you go study George Washington 1066 00:58:05,920 --> 00:58:07,240 Speaker 1: in the revenue was out gone. 1067 00:58:07,240 --> 00:58:09,000 Speaker 2: But I can't just let you this is Geg. Listen, 1068 00:58:09,080 --> 00:58:11,880 Speaker 2: mister Civil war buff you're just getting crazy here. Okay. 1069 00:58:12,200 --> 00:58:14,360 Speaker 2: First of all, big G Dubs. G. 1070 00:58:14,560 --> 00:58:18,800 Speaker 1: Dubbs kept the army together fighting the most impressive certainly 1071 00:58:18,920 --> 00:58:22,000 Speaker 1: navy and overall, I think you could argue military machine 1072 00:58:22,120 --> 00:58:23,960 Speaker 1: in the world at that time. The French would have 1073 00:58:23,960 --> 00:58:25,840 Speaker 1: been right there with them. But you know, we all 1074 00:58:25,840 --> 00:58:27,840 Speaker 1: know how that went for them when their revolution started. 1075 00:58:28,160 --> 00:58:31,800 Speaker 1: Point being, he did an amazing job holding them together. 1076 00:58:31,800 --> 00:58:35,000 Speaker 1: But that's as a general, as president, for him to 1077 00:58:35,120 --> 00:58:38,680 Speaker 1: be there to preside, to step aside when the time came, 1078 00:58:38,800 --> 00:58:41,640 Speaker 1: to be the father of the nation, not to allow 1079 00:58:41,760 --> 00:58:44,240 Speaker 1: factionalism to pull it all apart at the seams in 1080 00:58:44,280 --> 00:58:48,520 Speaker 1: the earliest days. Not to let that pompous Adams I 1081 00:58:48,640 --> 00:58:51,400 Speaker 1: get the titles of nobility going. I'm just saying, I'm 1082 00:58:51,440 --> 00:58:54,240 Speaker 1: just gonna fire away on Washington here. Not a very 1083 00:58:54,240 --> 00:58:57,560 Speaker 1: good general on the battlefield. You're right, he held them together. 1084 00:58:58,600 --> 00:59:00,760 Speaker 1: Second would have been a big scan back in the day. 1085 00:59:01,280 --> 00:59:04,080 Speaker 1: Do you know he refused to take a stout salary 1086 00:59:04,400 --> 00:59:07,960 Speaker 1: but just did an expense account instead and ran up 1087 00:59:08,120 --> 00:59:12,640 Speaker 1: exorbitant costs as the president of the United States, Kane, 1088 00:59:12,680 --> 00:59:13,080 Speaker 1: he had to. 1089 00:59:13,000 --> 00:59:15,320 Speaker 2: Throw some parties. We top throwing a party this week, 1090 00:59:15,360 --> 00:59:16,120 Speaker 2: you know what I mean, buddy. 1091 00:59:16,160 --> 00:59:19,120 Speaker 1: It's expensive such that they had to go back in 1092 00:59:19,440 --> 00:59:21,680 Speaker 1: and actually say no, no, no, we need to give 1093 00:59:21,720 --> 00:59:24,480 Speaker 1: the president a salary because g DUB. 1094 00:59:24,280 --> 00:59:24,720 Speaker 2: I don't want to. 1095 00:59:24,760 --> 00:59:27,080 Speaker 1: I don't want to throw her under the bus here. 1096 00:59:27,960 --> 00:59:30,960 Speaker 1: Maybe Martha had expensive taste. Not a lot of criticism 1097 00:59:31,040 --> 00:59:33,360 Speaker 1: for Martha Washington these days. I think if you go 1098 00:59:33,440 --> 00:59:36,640 Speaker 1: back and look at the g DUB expense account, Martha 1099 00:59:36,760 --> 00:59:38,920 Speaker 1: ran up a lot of money there and such that 1100 00:59:39,000 --> 00:59:41,080 Speaker 1: they decided, you know what, maybe we need to have 1101 00:59:41,120 --> 00:59:44,840 Speaker 1: a salary. Jefferson picked the wrong Jefferson thought that the 1102 00:59:44,920 --> 00:59:47,680 Speaker 1: French Revolution was a good idea and it was going 1103 00:59:47,760 --> 00:59:50,360 Speaker 1: to work out. Jefferson was on the wrong side of 1104 00:59:50,440 --> 00:59:53,120 Speaker 1: some big stuff. I like his Barbary pirates move. That 1105 00:59:53,200 --> 00:59:54,560 Speaker 1: was pretty slick. That was good. 1106 00:59:54,720 --> 00:59:56,680 Speaker 2: We didn't really have which Stanna purchase was good. 1107 00:59:56,720 --> 00:59:58,840 Speaker 1: Probably shouldn't have slept with a slave if we want 1108 00:59:58,880 --> 01:00:02,400 Speaker 1: to go, you know, Mike ro manage Jefferson's Uh, there's 1109 01:00:02,400 --> 01:00:04,120 Speaker 1: a lot of there's just that. So there's a lot 1110 01:00:04,120 --> 01:00:06,920 Speaker 1: of dispute over whether that actually occurred. Sir, I'll let 1111 01:00:07,000 --> 01:00:08,560 Speaker 1: it go. Some of some people are going to tell 1112 01:00:08,600 --> 01:00:10,800 Speaker 1: you that they have what what is the evidence for that? 1113 01:00:10,880 --> 01:00:11,120 Speaker 13: Again? 1114 01:00:11,200 --> 01:00:13,200 Speaker 2: I mean, the evidence for it is pretty. 1115 01:00:13,040 --> 01:00:17,240 Speaker 1: Could have well it in definitely a Jefferson at some 1116 01:00:17,400 --> 01:00:21,480 Speaker 1: point was involved in being the progenitor. Is that the 1117 01:00:21,560 --> 01:00:25,240 Speaker 1: right word of of it was either a could have 1118 01:00:25,240 --> 01:00:27,160 Speaker 1: been a brother could have been, Like the DNA is 1119 01:00:27,200 --> 01:00:29,280 Speaker 1: the DNA. You know, It's just been a nice quiet 1120 01:00:29,400 --> 01:00:33,360 Speaker 1: on the show. And Clay is deciding to throw g 1121 01:00:33,520 --> 01:00:38,480 Speaker 1: Dubs under the bus. He's deciding that that Jefferson's private 1122 01:00:38,560 --> 01:00:44,080 Speaker 1: life is something that is very much has some problematic 1123 01:00:44,160 --> 01:00:46,320 Speaker 1: aspect to it, although, like I said, this is very 1124 01:00:46,320 --> 01:00:49,600 Speaker 1: disputed whether this actually occurred or not. Jim in Clearwater, 1125 01:00:49,680 --> 01:00:51,920 Speaker 1: Florida wants to talk presence. He's gonna bring us back 1126 01:00:51,920 --> 01:00:52,920 Speaker 1: in line here.

I don't remember 1142 01:01:35,800 --> 01:01:39,880 Speaker 1: the last time I thought, boy, you know, I can't 1143 01:01:39,920 --> 01:01:43,760 Speaker 1: find X and I really need it. I said X, 1144 01:01:44,480 --> 01:01:48,960 Speaker 1: because that's a it might've been misheard.
