1 00:00:00,640 --> 00:00:04,120 Speaker 1: Welcome Hour number two, Thanksgiving Eve edition, Clay Travis buck 2 00:00:04,200 --> 00:00:08,039 Speaker 1: Sexton show Buck is already with his family. He'll be 3 00:00:08,080 --> 00:00:11,120 Speaker 1: back with me on Monday on this program. I hope 4 00:00:11,119 --> 00:00:13,800 Speaker 1: that all of you who are out and about traveling 5 00:00:14,240 --> 00:00:18,599 Speaker 1: are managing to do so safely. I've flagged this in 6 00:00:18,640 --> 00:00:24,040 Speaker 1: the morning. TSA estimates it'll screen around thirty million passengers 7 00:00:24,200 --> 00:00:29,240 Speaker 1: over the Thanksgiving holiday, a record fifty five point four 8 00:00:29,360 --> 00:00:33,839 Speaker 1: million people expected to travel fifty miles or more between 9 00:00:33,880 --> 00:00:39,920 Speaker 1: tomorrow and Sunday. And let's see, the busiest day of 10 00:00:40,080 --> 00:00:45,360 Speaker 1: all expected to be today and then Sunday, and so 11 00:00:45,520 --> 00:00:47,479 Speaker 1: many of you, like me, are going to be on 12 00:00:47,520 --> 00:00:49,280 Speaker 1: the road, like Buck, and we hope that all of 13 00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:51,880 Speaker 1: you will stay safe and manage to reach your family 14 00:00:51,920 --> 00:00:55,640 Speaker 1: and have a fabulous time tomorrow and throughout the holiday weekend. 15 00:00:55,760 --> 00:00:58,440 Speaker 1: And we also know that many of you are going 16 00:00:58,480 --> 00:01:01,120 Speaker 1: to be out there working because you work on the holiday. 17 00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:03,240 Speaker 1: Certainly I have done that in the past, and I 18 00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:05,320 Speaker 1: know many of you will be doing so as well. 19 00:01:05,360 --> 00:01:09,040 Speaker 1: We thank you for working, particularly truck drivers who are 20 00:01:09,080 --> 00:01:11,840 Speaker 1: out there every day making sure that our country functions 21 00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:15,880 Speaker 1: military first responders. Everybody in those communities, many of whom 22 00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:18,200 Speaker 1: are listening to us right now. There will be a 23 00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:22,000 Speaker 1: best of show tomorrow, I promise. We have had a 24 00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:25,200 Speaker 1: few decent segments so far this year. And then on Friday, 25 00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:27,160 Speaker 1: our friend Tutor Dixon, who is a part of the 26 00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:30,160 Speaker 1: Clay Travis Buck Sexton podcast network, will be in also 27 00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:33,840 Speaker 1: mentioned this. One of the great benefits of both Buck 28 00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:36,000 Speaker 1: and I being able to do the show is I 29 00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:39,200 Speaker 1: believe there's only one week all year where you're not 30 00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:43,360 Speaker 1: gonna hear from one or the other of us. That's 31 00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:47,720 Speaker 1: unprecedented to my knowledge, on any national radio show anywhere. 32 00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:51,120 Speaker 1: The only week we're out is Christmas week. We haven't 33 00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:54,600 Speaker 1: between the two of us missed a day since July fourth. Now, 34 00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:57,160 Speaker 1: I'm not claiming this is a super difficult job, but 35 00:01:57,200 --> 00:01:59,600 Speaker 1: we do take it very seriously and we want to 36 00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:01,760 Speaker 1: be with you every single day because we think the 37 00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:04,880 Speaker 1: things that we are talking about are very important. And 38 00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:07,720 Speaker 1: I want to take a moment here to talk about Thanksgiving, 39 00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:11,280 Speaker 1: because I know Rush did this often on his show, 40 00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:15,760 Speaker 1: and I also think a lot of times Thanksgiving gets 41 00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:19,960 Speaker 1: lost now in the shuffle between Halloween, which every year 42 00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:23,320 Speaker 1: seems to get bigger and bigger, and certainly the Christmas 43 00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:27,200 Speaker 1: and New Year's Holiday, and as a result, Thanksgiving sometimes 44 00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:29,520 Speaker 1: gets lost. So I just want to kind of talk 45 00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:34,600 Speaker 1: about this for a moment wherever you live, If you 46 00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:39,840 Speaker 1: are fortunate enough to be an American, I hope that 47 00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:45,160 Speaker 1: on Thanksgiving you will take a moment and just contemplate 48 00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:48,920 Speaker 1: what had to happen for you to have the good 49 00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:52,360 Speaker 1: fortune to have either been born in America or to 50 00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:55,280 Speaker 1: have become an American. But in particular for those of 51 00:02:55,360 --> 00:03:01,120 Speaker 1: us who were born here. You ever read history Thanksgiving, 52 00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:06,360 Speaker 1: how many of you have really thought about this? I 53 00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:08,840 Speaker 1: heard this and I couldn't get it out of my mind, 54 00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:15,040 Speaker 1: and it's still extraordinary to me. When the pilgrims arrived here, 55 00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:23,440 Speaker 1: a squirrel on a tree could have walked from the 56 00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:27,960 Speaker 1: East Coast all the way to the West coast, from 57 00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:32,800 Speaker 1: one tree to another. You want to talk about how 58 00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:37,480 Speaker 1: wild this land was, just think about that for a moment. 59 00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:42,760 Speaker 1: There were so many trees that a squirrel. I've read 60 00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:45,840 Speaker 1: this and I believe it to be true. A squirrel 61 00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:49,280 Speaker 1: could have been on the East Coast and could have 62 00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:55,680 Speaker 1: walked across the entire United States from tree to tree. 63 00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:58,640 Speaker 1: And I don't think we talk enough about the ships 64 00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:04,920 Speaker 1: that these people got on to come here. Wants you 65 00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:07,360 Speaker 1: to think about it for a minute. I just finished 66 00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:14,360 Speaker 1: reading a great book about Magellan. These ships were tiny, 67 00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:21,880 Speaker 1: and whatever risks you are taking in your life, I 68 00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:24,640 Speaker 1: want you to think about what it would have been 69 00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:30,760 Speaker 1: like to get on a ship in Europe and make 70 00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:35,279 Speaker 1: the decision that you were going to leave behind everyone 71 00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:38,719 Speaker 1: that you had ever known and every land that you 72 00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:42,880 Speaker 1: had ever known, and probably that you would never see 73 00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:45,080 Speaker 1: those people for the rest of your life, and that 74 00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:49,200 Speaker 1: there was a tremendous risk that something awful might happen 75 00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:54,920 Speaker 1: to you on that trip to the United States. And 76 00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:57,880 Speaker 1: by the way, this is true no matter what your 77 00:04:57,920 --> 00:05:02,080 Speaker 1: ethnicity is. As Tom Saul has pointed out in many 78 00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:07,200 Speaker 1: of his books, while This Country focuses on the legacy 79 00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:09,800 Speaker 1: of slavery almost to the exclusion of everything else that 80 00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:15,000 Speaker 1: happens historically, every single person who is of African descent 81 00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:18,400 Speaker 1: that lives in the United States today is far better 82 00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:21,800 Speaker 1: off than they would have been if they had never 83 00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:25,520 Speaker 1: come to the United States at all. It is a 84 00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:28,680 Speaker 1: stat that doesn't get a lot of attention. You know, 85 00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:34,360 Speaker 1: the poorest Americans, the absolute poorest people in the United States, 86 00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:38,840 Speaker 1: of America today would be in the twenty percent wealthiest 87 00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:44,560 Speaker 1: if they lived in India right now. Our poor people, 88 00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:47,200 Speaker 1: even if you feel like you don't have a lot 89 00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:51,360 Speaker 1: to be thankful for, our poor people would be the 90 00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:56,200 Speaker 1: wealthiest people in some of the biggest countries in the world. 91 00:05:56,400 --> 00:06:00,279 Speaker 1: Our poorest person would be in the top two twenty 92 00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:05,239 Speaker 1: percent wealthiest in all of India. Think about the risk 93 00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:10,320 Speaker 1: that was involved making the decision to come to this 94 00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:17,680 Speaker 1: new land, a place that was truly wild, sparsely inhabited, 95 00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:23,640 Speaker 1: and where you were likely to never see any of 96 00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:27,360 Speaker 1: your friends and family ever again, if you were fortunate 97 00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:31,159 Speaker 1: enough to make it on the perilous journey to these shores. 98 00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:35,360 Speaker 1: One of the things that I worry about the most 99 00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:38,359 Speaker 1: is I think now, as I've moved into middle age 100 00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:40,640 Speaker 1: and I've now got three kids of my own, I'm 101 00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:45,800 Speaker 1: thinking about the world as it may exist after I'm gone, 102 00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:49,159 Speaker 1: presuming I've got a couple of generations left. I'd like 103 00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:56,600 Speaker 1: to think, what are we teaching our kids and how 104 00:06:56,680 --> 00:07:02,479 Speaker 1: much safety ism and lack of risk taking are we 105 00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:05,640 Speaker 1: trying to embed in their lives. One of the things 106 00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:10,840 Speaker 1: that troubles me the most about young people today is 107 00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:17,320 Speaker 1: very much. They're coddled and they lack the ability to 108 00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:24,360 Speaker 1: take risk. This is a country of boundless opportunity because 109 00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:28,040 Speaker 1: of the risk takers, because of the people who've been 110 00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:33,200 Speaker 1: willing to put their lives on the line. Study American 111 00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:40,680 Speaker 1: history as we have this Thanksgiving holiday and look at 112 00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:43,680 Speaker 1: all the things that the people who came before you 113 00:07:43,760 --> 00:07:48,720 Speaker 1: were willing to risk, and ask yourself what you're risking. 114 00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:54,080 Speaker 1: It seems to me that America today has a national 115 00:07:54,240 --> 00:08:01,480 Speaker 1: epidemic of cowardice. Your antswer esthers were willing to risk 116 00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:05,320 Speaker 1: their lives to come to this country, and a lot 117 00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:09,920 Speaker 1: of you and a lot of your grandkids aren't even 118 00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:15,800 Speaker 1: willing to post what they actually think on social media. 119 00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:21,680 Speaker 1: Worse than that, they call people they disagree with Nazis. 120 00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:28,040 Speaker 1: We have moved, in the space of a few generations 121 00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:32,559 Speaker 1: from a country that fought actual Nazis to a place 122 00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:37,200 Speaker 1: where the great grandchildren of the people who killed and 123 00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:40,760 Speaker 1: beat and preserve freedom for the world by defeating the 124 00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:44,840 Speaker 1: Nazis now think that they are heroic and courageous because 125 00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:47,600 Speaker 1: they call people they disagree with Nazis. I just played 126 00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:50,920 Speaker 1: it for you. You're questioning it. Claire mccaskell on MSNBC. 127 00:08:51,040 --> 00:08:53,800 Speaker 1: You see it every day happen. Even in the wake 128 00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:56,240 Speaker 1: of October seventh, when we had the most deadly day 129 00:08:56,280 --> 00:09:01,239 Speaker 1: in the history of the Jewish people since the Holocaust, 130 00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:07,200 Speaker 1: people are still running around calling Trump a Nazi. And 131 00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:10,320 Speaker 1: I tie all this together on Thanksgiving. Yes, we have 132 00:09:10,559 --> 00:09:15,520 Speaker 1: a tremendous amount to be thankful for. But what are 133 00:09:15,559 --> 00:09:23,080 Speaker 1: you conserving by taking real risks for your country? What 134 00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:26,080 Speaker 1: are you putting on the line on a daily basis, 135 00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:32,360 Speaker 1: What are you actually risking compared to the people who 136 00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:39,560 Speaker 1: made this country great. It's something that I think we 137 00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:43,160 Speaker 1: need to have a real national discussion about, and I 138 00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:46,240 Speaker 1: hope it's something that you will think about when you 139 00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:49,760 Speaker 1: sit down to celebrate Thanksgiving with your friends and family 140 00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:53,160 Speaker 1: and recognize the immense and bountiful gratitude that we all 141 00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:59,280 Speaker 1: should share for being Americans. How much of that is 142 00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:05,079 Speaker 1: part of our nation discourse right now. I'm not super old. 143 00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:07,240 Speaker 1: I like to think I'm not super old. I'm middle 144 00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:11,880 Speaker 1: aged now, I'm forty four. I don't remember in the 145 00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:14,680 Speaker 1: nineteen seventies and the nineteen eighties and the nineteen nineties, 146 00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:18,120 Speaker 1: in the two thousands, I don't remember people hating America. 147 00:10:21,679 --> 00:10:25,560 Speaker 1: I don't think it existed in my life, and a 148 00:10:25,559 --> 00:10:27,720 Speaker 1: lot of people now are focused on what's going on 149 00:10:27,720 --> 00:10:30,439 Speaker 1: on college campuses. But I think that's a failure of 150 00:10:30,679 --> 00:10:37,120 Speaker 1: the adults. We've allowed kids to be so coddled that 151 00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:42,559 Speaker 1: they don't even understand what evil is. Been thinking about 152 00:10:42,559 --> 00:10:44,720 Speaker 1: this a lot, and I think this is important conversation 153 00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:48,080 Speaker 1: to have with so many of your families for Thanksgiving. 154 00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:54,960 Speaker 1: Kids only know what they are taught. If you have 155 00:10:55,160 --> 00:10:58,160 Speaker 1: convinced a generation of kids that people who have different 156 00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:02,840 Speaker 1: opinions than them are evil, what scares me is not 157 00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:06,320 Speaker 1: only are they coddled in a verse to risk, they 158 00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:10,400 Speaker 1: aren't able to see actual evil when it truly exists. 159 00:11:13,160 --> 00:11:17,840 Speaker 1: I can't think of anything that has occurred that is 160 00:11:18,360 --> 00:11:26,840 Speaker 1: more evil than October seventh in recent history. Jewish people, 161 00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:31,480 Speaker 1: just like in the nineteen thirties, were murdered explicitly for 162 00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:37,920 Speaker 1: being Jewish, and many people cheered it, and a lot 163 00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:42,800 Speaker 1: of people on college campuses did. What does it say 164 00:11:42,840 --> 00:11:46,320 Speaker 1: about us that our most highly educated in terms of 165 00:11:46,360 --> 00:11:53,840 Speaker 1: schooling are the least able to recognize true evil. I 166 00:11:53,880 --> 00:12:02,880 Speaker 1: think it's ominous because remember, without people willing to speak 167 00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:09,320 Speaker 1: the truth and without an absence of cowardice, many people 168 00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:15,200 Speaker 1: are sheep. If you look at what happened with COVID, 169 00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:20,040 Speaker 1: how many people just went along rather than get acknowledged 170 00:12:20,080 --> 00:12:25,400 Speaker 1: for not being willing to go along. This is the country, 171 00:12:25,880 --> 00:12:29,560 Speaker 1: more so than any other, filled with the DNA of 172 00:12:29,640 --> 00:12:33,520 Speaker 1: people who said, I'm not just going to go along. 173 00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:36,959 Speaker 1: I'm going to take a risk. I'm going to get 174 00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:39,840 Speaker 1: on that ship, I'm going to get on that horse, 175 00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:42,680 Speaker 1: I'm going to get in that covered wagon. I'm going 176 00:12:42,720 --> 00:12:46,160 Speaker 1: to travel across the horizon to something better, something that 177 00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:53,200 Speaker 1: I can't even see. This entire country was founded on 178 00:12:53,480 --> 00:12:58,920 Speaker 1: the leap of faith, on the idea that tomorrow could 179 00:12:58,920 --> 00:13:02,760 Speaker 1: be better, on the willingness to take that risk, on 180 00:13:02,920 --> 00:13:08,240 Speaker 1: the incredible hopes, dreams, and aspirations upon which this country 181 00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:13,600 Speaker 1: was founded. What does it say on this Thanksgiving when 182 00:13:13,640 --> 00:13:16,240 Speaker 1: we all have an immense amount to be thankful for 183 00:13:16,679 --> 00:13:19,000 Speaker 1: that some of the youngest and best educated in this 184 00:13:19,160 --> 00:13:25,160 Speaker 1: country are unable to recognize both the history of this country, 185 00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:28,000 Speaker 1: which is proud and upstanding and greater than I believe 186 00:13:28,080 --> 00:13:30,480 Speaker 1: truly the history of any country in the history of 187 00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:35,320 Speaker 1: the world. They believe, actually the legacy of America is 188 00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:41,280 Speaker 1: one that is awful and reprehensible and evil, and as 189 00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:48,520 Speaker 1: a result, they're willing to support actual evil. It's our fault. 190 00:13:49,400 --> 00:13:53,120 Speaker 1: We have coddled their minds to such an extent that 191 00:13:53,160 --> 00:13:58,160 Speaker 1: we have convinced them that words are violence and microaggressions 192 00:13:58,160 --> 00:14:03,640 Speaker 1: are unacceptable, and as a result, their brains are stilted, unchallenged, 193 00:14:03,960 --> 00:14:08,439 Speaker 1: and unable to confront the reality of evil. So I 194 00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:12,000 Speaker 1: hope that all of you out there will be willing 195 00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:15,000 Speaker 1: to have this conversation with your kids and grandkids, and 196 00:14:15,040 --> 00:14:20,000 Speaker 1: may get a little uncomfortable. I don't care. It's past 197 00:14:20,040 --> 00:14:24,240 Speaker 1: time for being nice. At some point, you have to 198 00:14:24,400 --> 00:14:28,120 Speaker 1: confront evil and be willing to have conversations with people 199 00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:29,640 Speaker 1: who can't see it. Maybe they get a little bit 200 00:14:29,720 --> 00:14:33,440 Speaker 1: upset with you, Maybe they say, mom, dad, grandma, and grandpa, 201 00:14:33,480 --> 00:14:35,400 Speaker 1: you don't know what you're talking about. I would submit 202 00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:38,080 Speaker 1: that if you have lived in this country very long 203 00:14:38,120 --> 00:14:40,400 Speaker 1: at all, you know a lot more about what you're 204 00:14:40,440 --> 00:14:43,200 Speaker 1: talking about than anybody who's a college age kid or 205 00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:46,880 Speaker 1: a high school kid that's trying to defend Hamas's murder 206 00:14:47,560 --> 00:14:50,760 Speaker 1: of over a thousand innocent Jewish people based entirely on 207 00:14:50,800 --> 00:14:54,760 Speaker 1: their faith. So I hope those are conversations that you'll have, 208 00:14:55,440 --> 00:14:58,400 Speaker 1: but I hope you'll contextualize them in the larger historical 209 00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:03,880 Speaker 1: resonance of what is I think the fabric of the 210 00:15:03,880 --> 00:15:06,520 Speaker 1: greatest country that's ever existed in the history of the world, 211 00:15:07,400 --> 00:15:10,760 Speaker 1: and one that must continue to embrace risk taking, to 212 00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:17,520 Speaker 1: embrace actual courage and physical valor, because I don't know 213 00:15:17,600 --> 00:15:20,920 Speaker 1: that we've ever valued it less than I'm seeing valued 214 00:15:21,120 --> 00:15:23,560 Speaker 1: right now. Take some of your calls. Allow you to 215 00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:26,000 Speaker 1: react a variety of different subjects. Again, Chris, Christy's going 216 00:15:26,040 --> 00:15:27,680 Speaker 1: to be with us at the top of the next hour. 217 00:15:28,320 --> 00:15:30,480 Speaker 1: In the meantime, look, you know, one of the reasons 218 00:15:30,520 --> 00:15:33,640 Speaker 1: we had so much success in this country testosterone. Believe 219 00:15:33,640 --> 00:15:37,640 Speaker 1: it or not, men actually are kind of important, and 220 00:15:37,720 --> 00:15:39,680 Speaker 1: men with a lot of them, vigor and vitality are 221 00:15:39,720 --> 00:15:42,440 Speaker 1: actually important. You know, you're a great grandfather who beat 222 00:15:42,440 --> 00:15:45,480 Speaker 1: the Nazis. He had about fifty percent more testosterone in 223 00:15:45,480 --> 00:15:48,640 Speaker 1: his body than the average American does today. That seems 224 00:15:48,680 --> 00:15:53,000 Speaker 1: ominous to me. Also, Biden White House not sure we've 225 00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:55,920 Speaker 1: had less testosterone in any administration in our life. I 226 00:15:55,920 --> 00:15:57,480 Speaker 1: don't think it's a coincidence. We've got war in the 227 00:15:57,480 --> 00:16:00,880 Speaker 1: Middle East, and we've also got war in Europe. Weak 228 00:16:00,920 --> 00:16:04,000 Speaker 1: men make bad times. Joe Biden's a weak man. Are 229 00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:05,440 Speaker 1: you feeling a week? Would you like to feel a 230 00:16:05,440 --> 00:16:07,680 Speaker 1: little bit stronger?

If you're not going to have the conversation now, 260 00:17:42,040 --> 00:17:46,560 Speaker 1: when are you? And I really do think that we 261 00:17:46,760 --> 00:17:52,400 Speaker 1: have to start holding ourselves as adults responsible for the 262 00:17:52,440 --> 00:17:56,960 Speaker 1: thoughts and opinions that young people are having because we 263 00:17:57,080 --> 00:18:01,280 Speaker 1: have failed them in not enabling them to understand the 264 00:18:01,359 --> 00:18:06,240 Speaker 1: difference between good and evil and being able to recognize it. 265 00:18:07,119 --> 00:18:09,440 Speaker 1: And right now, as we roll through I want to 266 00:18:09,480 --> 00:18:11,880 Speaker 1: tell you stay at a hotel, tell pretty quickly whether 267 00:18:11,920 --> 00:18:13,520 Speaker 1: the towels are any good.

On the lines of truth. 287 00:19:09,400 --> 00:19:11,760 Speaker 1: Quite a few of you said you loved to Rush's 288 00:19:11,840 --> 00:19:15,800 Speaker 1: messages on Thanksgiving. And I know many of you listen 289 00:19:15,880 --> 00:19:18,480 Speaker 1: to Rush for over thirty years. Buck and I are 290 00:19:18,560 --> 00:19:22,960 Speaker 1: working on year number three with you guys, but I 291 00:19:23,040 --> 00:19:27,080 Speaker 1: wanted to play this flashback. This is from November twenty fourth, 292 00:19:27,359 --> 00:19:31,399 Speaker 1: twenty twenty. This was the last Thanksgiving that Rush spent 293 00:19:31,520 --> 00:19:33,480 Speaker 1: with all of you. Here is what he said. 294 00:19:33,680 --> 00:19:39,200 Speaker 3: They knew they were facing hardship, but paramount importance to 295 00:19:39,240 --> 00:19:45,119 Speaker 3: them was living freely and worshiping God according to the 296 00:19:45,160 --> 00:19:49,199 Speaker 3: dictates of their own consciences, their own beliefs. That's what 297 00:19:49,240 --> 00:19:53,280 Speaker 3: they were denied the freedom to do in England. This 298 00:19:53,320 --> 00:19:55,480 Speaker 3: is so great that the story is spreading. One of 299 00:19:55,520 --> 00:19:59,119 Speaker 3: the most important legacies of the early settlers is that 300 00:19:59,160 --> 00:20:02,359 Speaker 3: the experiment with socialism in the sixteen twenties, it. 301 00:20:02,280 --> 00:20:03,200 Speaker 1: Did not work. 302 00:20:03,760 --> 00:20:09,800 Speaker 3: Private property rights, personal responsibility saved the Plymouth quality from 303 00:20:09,840 --> 00:20:14,840 Speaker 3: extinction and laid the economic foundation for the free and 304 00:20:14,960 --> 00:20:18,600 Speaker 3: prosperous nation that we all enjoy today. And that is 305 00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:23,399 Speaker 3: exactly right, and that is the true story of Thanksgiving. 306 00:20:24,119 --> 00:20:26,000 Speaker 1: I'll also that's great from Rush, and I thought you 307 00:20:26,040 --> 00:20:28,600 Speaker 1: guys would appreciate that. That was his last Thanksgiving message 308 00:20:28,600 --> 00:20:30,879 Speaker 1: that he shared with all of you in November of 309 00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:35,919 Speaker 1: twenty twenty, go say also, Abraham Lincoln. You guys can 310 00:20:35,960 --> 00:20:38,080 Speaker 1: correct me if I'm wrong. But again, I'm a history nerd, 311 00:20:38,080 --> 00:20:40,040 Speaker 1: and I tend to get most of Civil War related 312 00:20:40,119 --> 00:20:45,240 Speaker 1: history correct. Instituted the initial day of Thanksgiving during Civil War, 313 00:20:46,560 --> 00:20:50,400 Speaker 1: and I do think it's important to always hammer this home. 314 00:20:50,680 --> 00:20:54,560 Speaker 1: I love history for many reasons. I love story. I 315 00:20:54,600 --> 00:20:58,560 Speaker 1: love knowing what people before me went through, overcame the 316 00:20:58,680 --> 00:21:01,560 Speaker 1: challenges that they failed. And I know, as we sit 317 00:21:01,600 --> 00:21:04,159 Speaker 1: here eleven months out from the twenty twenty four election, 318 00:21:04,920 --> 00:21:08,639 Speaker 1: everybody says this election, every election, they always say, is 319 00:21:08,680 --> 00:21:11,600 Speaker 1: the most important one that has ever existed, and if 320 00:21:11,800 --> 00:21:14,080 Speaker 1: the one side wins and the other side loses, the 321 00:21:14,080 --> 00:21:16,359 Speaker 1: country's gone to hell and everything's going to fall apart. 322 00:21:16,359 --> 00:21:19,280 Speaker 1: I'm an optimist. I don't believe that's ever true. I 323 00:21:19,320 --> 00:21:22,760 Speaker 1: think that America is given every four years an opportunity 324 00:21:22,800 --> 00:21:25,879 Speaker 1: to get things right, and most of the time we do. 325 00:21:27,040 --> 00:21:30,040 Speaker 1: And I always like to go back take it outside 326 00:21:30,200 --> 00:21:33,920 Speaker 1: of the living memory of many people, certainly many voters. 327 00:21:34,280 --> 00:21:36,400 Speaker 1: I don't imagine there are very many of you out 328 00:21:36,400 --> 00:21:42,359 Speaker 1: there listening right now who voted in nineteen forty four. Again, 329 00:21:42,440 --> 00:21:46,040 Speaker 1: don't imagine there's that many of you. Maybe you're listening 330 00:21:46,080 --> 00:21:50,520 Speaker 1: to me right now. If so, thank you, and you've 331 00:21:50,520 --> 00:21:55,159 Speaker 1: had an amazing lifespan. But we hadn election. I know 332 00:21:55,680 --> 00:21:58,560 Speaker 1: there's nobody out there listening who voted in eighteen sixty four. 333 00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:04,400 Speaker 1: Y'all realized we had elections during the Civil War and 334 00:22:04,560 --> 00:22:08,560 Speaker 1: during World War II, and the question that was at 335 00:22:08,600 --> 00:22:12,640 Speaker 1: stake in both of those elections was whether or not 336 00:22:12,760 --> 00:22:17,359 Speaker 1: to continue the Civil War and or to continue World 337 00:22:17,440 --> 00:22:22,280 Speaker 1: War II. Think about that for a minute. We had 338 00:22:22,320 --> 00:22:27,600 Speaker 1: elections in the middle of wars, with sitting presidents who 339 00:22:27,640 --> 00:22:32,160 Speaker 1: were fighting wars, over whether or not those wars should 340 00:22:32,240 --> 00:22:35,040 Speaker 1: continue in eighteen sixty four. And I know a lot 341 00:22:35,080 --> 00:22:37,360 Speaker 1: about this because I wrote my thesis, and obviously it's 342 00:22:37,359 --> 00:22:43,639 Speaker 1: Civil War related. George Britton McClellan, the sitting former head 343 00:22:43,920 --> 00:22:50,919 Speaker 1: of the entire Union Army, ran against Abraham Lincoln, and 344 00:22:51,080 --> 00:22:55,359 Speaker 1: much of the decision was whether or not the war 345 00:22:55,440 --> 00:23:00,000 Speaker 1: should continue. Many in the Democrat camp of George Britain 346 00:23:00,160 --> 00:23:04,120 Speaker 1: McClellan wanted to allow the South to secede and form 347 00:23:04,160 --> 00:23:09,480 Speaker 1: their own country, and but for Sherman seizing of Atlanta, 348 00:23:10,080 --> 00:23:13,840 Speaker 1: which was one of the biggest October surprises of all time. 349 00:23:14,320 --> 00:23:18,600 Speaker 1: Abraham Lincoln may have lost and McLellan may have taken over. 350 00:23:19,880 --> 00:23:23,199 Speaker 1: And if that had happened, there is the possibility that 351 00:23:23,240 --> 00:23:25,720 Speaker 1: we would have at least two different countries right now, 352 00:23:26,080 --> 00:23:30,400 Speaker 1: maybe more, because probably at some point other states would 353 00:23:30,440 --> 00:23:33,919 Speaker 1: have broken off and the United States would have become 354 00:23:34,040 --> 00:23:39,760 Speaker 1: a Balkanized gathering of multiple countries, not unlike potentially what 355 00:23:39,880 --> 00:23:45,600 Speaker 1: Europe is like today. Instead, Lincoln one went on to 356 00:23:45,680 --> 00:23:50,320 Speaker 1: win the war and we're one United States today, which 357 00:23:50,359 --> 00:23:55,679 Speaker 1: allowed us to be the arm and material in the 358 00:23:55,840 --> 00:23:59,280 Speaker 1: arsenal for democracy that we were in World War One 359 00:23:59,280 --> 00:24:03,720 Speaker 1: and World War two. And in nineteen forty four, there 360 00:24:03,760 --> 00:24:07,199 Speaker 1: were a lot of people out there who believed that 361 00:24:07,280 --> 00:24:11,600 Speaker 1: World War II shouldn't continue. There was a strong isolationist 362 00:24:11,640 --> 00:24:14,840 Speaker 1: element of the United States voting public then as there 363 00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:20,000 Speaker 1: is now, and there was uncertainty over whether we would 364 00:24:20,040 --> 00:24:23,399 Speaker 1: continue that war based on what might have happened in 365 00:24:23,480 --> 00:24:29,800 Speaker 1: November of nineteen forty four. So history is so important 366 00:24:30,800 --> 00:24:35,960 Speaker 1: because everybody has hummingbird brains now. They can barely keep 367 00:24:36,320 --> 00:24:39,119 Speaker 1: tabs on what's happening from one moment to the next, 368 00:24:39,160 --> 00:24:43,320 Speaker 1: and it's hard sometimes to even say, hey, is this 369 00:24:43,359 --> 00:24:46,040 Speaker 1: gonna matter tomorrow? I give credit to I think it 370 00:24:46,080 --> 00:24:49,200 Speaker 1: was David Axelrod who came up with the phrase nothing burger, 371 00:24:50,480 --> 00:24:55,960 Speaker 1: and he was Obama's advisor, but he said every story 372 00:24:56,040 --> 00:24:59,320 Speaker 1: you had to analyze and decide, Hey, is this something 373 00:24:59,320 --> 00:25:03,280 Speaker 1: that's gonna matter twenty four hours from now. I would 374 00:25:03,320 --> 00:25:07,520 Speaker 1: submit to you that ninety eight percent of stories are 375 00:25:07,560 --> 00:25:10,200 Speaker 1: not going to matter within forty eight hours of them occurring, 376 00:25:11,480 --> 00:25:15,560 Speaker 1: because the story cycle moves so quickly. James Carvill referred 377 00:25:15,560 --> 00:25:18,720 Speaker 1: to the media as the beast it had to be 378 00:25:18,760 --> 00:25:22,480 Speaker 1: fed every day. You go back and study the nineteen 379 00:25:22,560 --> 00:25:26,520 Speaker 1: ninety two presidential campaign that Bill Clinton won. James Carvill, 380 00:25:26,560 --> 00:25:29,639 Speaker 1: who I think sometimes still speaks truth. He kind of 381 00:25:29,640 --> 00:25:32,840 Speaker 1: goes after the woke elements of the Democrat Party. One 382 00:25:32,880 --> 00:25:34,560 Speaker 1: of the things he gets one hundred percent right is 383 00:25:35,200 --> 00:25:39,320 Speaker 1: nobody should sound like in politics the faculty lounge. And 384 00:25:39,359 --> 00:25:42,960 Speaker 1: if you start sounding like the faculty lounge running for 385 00:25:43,040 --> 00:25:47,000 Speaker 1: president or elective office statewide, you're going to lose. These universities, 386 00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:50,440 Speaker 1: these ivory towers are not representative of how real Americans talk. 387 00:25:50,680 --> 00:25:52,880 Speaker 1: I think he's right about that, right about many things, 388 00:25:52,960 --> 00:25:56,280 Speaker 1: has a good intuition on some things wrong, on other things, 389 00:25:56,280 --> 00:26:00,320 Speaker 1: many other things right as all of us are, but 390 00:26:00,320 --> 00:26:02,280 Speaker 1: he would talk about it. The beast has to be 391 00:26:02,320 --> 00:26:06,240 Speaker 1: fed every day, got to be given something new. And 392 00:26:06,960 --> 00:26:11,439 Speaker 1: what the left has become very skilled at is a 393 00:26:11,560 --> 00:26:16,080 Speaker 1: daily narrative, something that they want out there. It's amazing 394 00:26:16,119 --> 00:26:17,960 Speaker 1: to see happen, you know. The Biden White House wrote 395 00:26:17,960 --> 00:26:19,639 Speaker 1: a letter to the New York Times saying you're not 396 00:26:19,760 --> 00:26:23,720 Speaker 1: being critical enough of Donald Trump, and then within forty 397 00:26:23,760 --> 00:26:27,600 Speaker 1: eight hours, everywhere I look, suddenly Democrats are out in 398 00:26:27,760 --> 00:26:32,040 Speaker 1: mass saying Trump is hitler again. If Trump wins, we're 399 00:26:32,040 --> 00:26:35,600 Speaker 1: never having another presidential election. Yesterday we played a clip 400 00:26:35,640 --> 00:26:39,480 Speaker 1: for you of Joe Scarborough saying that Trump was going 401 00:26:39,560 --> 00:26:42,800 Speaker 1: to execute people he didn't like if he became president again. 402 00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:47,119 Speaker 1: They get their talking points and they go out and 403 00:26:47,160 --> 00:26:51,680 Speaker 1: they deliver them with flair and panache, as if they're 404 00:26:51,720 --> 00:26:57,040 Speaker 1: independent thinkers. I can tell you honestly, whether you agree 405 00:26:57,119 --> 00:26:59,800 Speaker 1: or disagree with Buck and Me and anything we say 406 00:26:59,840 --> 00:27:03,399 Speaker 1: on the program, we don't give me talking points. And 407 00:27:03,440 --> 00:27:07,080 Speaker 1: I give credit to my boss, Julie Talbot, our boss 408 00:27:07,760 --> 00:27:10,000 Speaker 1: who's been my boss when I did sports talk radio. 409 00:27:10,040 --> 00:27:13,400 Speaker 1: I am thankful for her on this Thanksgiving. I've been 410 00:27:13,400 --> 00:27:16,040 Speaker 1: doing daily radio with her as my boss for I 411 00:27:16,040 --> 00:27:19,880 Speaker 1: don't know, nine or ten years now almost, and at 412 00:27:19,920 --> 00:27:23,120 Speaker 1: no point in time has she ever said to me, Hey, 413 00:27:23,200 --> 00:27:25,760 Speaker 1: I wish you didn't talk about that. Hey why didn't 414 00:27:25,760 --> 00:27:28,720 Speaker 1: you talk about this instead? You know how rare not 415 00:27:28,880 --> 00:27:31,680 Speaker 1: being micromanaged is in this business. The reason why I 416 00:27:31,720 --> 00:27:33,960 Speaker 1: felt comfortable coming over and working with Buck on this 417 00:27:34,040 --> 00:27:38,200 Speaker 1: show was because I would have the same boss. I'm 418 00:27:38,240 --> 00:27:41,679 Speaker 1: fortunate now. I've been not fortunate in the past, trust me, 419 00:27:41,720 --> 00:27:44,119 Speaker 1: where I had to get every paycheck and where I 420 00:27:44,160 --> 00:27:46,000 Speaker 1: was worried about whether my mortgage is going to be 421 00:27:46,040 --> 00:27:48,320 Speaker 1: taken care of, could I afford child care for my kids. 422 00:27:48,359 --> 00:27:50,200 Speaker 1: I've been there. I know a lot of you are 423 00:27:50,200 --> 00:27:54,280 Speaker 1: there right now. I've been there. But I'm fortunate now 424 00:27:54,520 --> 00:27:59,000 Speaker 1: I don't have to make a paycheck. And so the 425 00:27:59,080 --> 00:28:01,800 Speaker 1: first opportunity if somebody said, hey, you've got to talk 426 00:28:01,800 --> 00:28:04,320 Speaker 1: about this, or why aren't you talking about this instead, 427 00:28:04,800 --> 00:28:09,920 Speaker 1: I'd be out. I just I wouldn't let anybody else 428 00:28:09,960 --> 00:28:12,840 Speaker 1: control what I thought or what I said in any way. 429 00:28:13,240 --> 00:28:15,840 Speaker 1: A lot of people in media aren't like that. They 430 00:28:15,880 --> 00:28:20,199 Speaker 1: get talking points, they're not particularly smart, but you know 431 00:28:20,200 --> 00:28:24,639 Speaker 1: they're good looking, they're they stare into the television camera 432 00:28:24,800 --> 00:28:29,119 Speaker 1: and they say, just like a trained monkey would exactly 433 00:28:29,160 --> 00:28:33,959 Speaker 1: what they've been told to do. And I think if 434 00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:39,440 Speaker 1: you look at Claire mccaskell, I mean, it's unbelievable. Claire mccaskeal, 435 00:28:39,520 --> 00:28:43,480 Speaker 1: Joe Scarborough, the Biden White House says Trump's not getting 436 00:28:43,520 --> 00:28:47,800 Speaker 1: criticized enough. And then Joe Scarborough comes out, trained monkey 437 00:28:47,800 --> 00:28:50,560 Speaker 1: that he is, and says, hey, I'm the circus monkey here. 438 00:28:50,600 --> 00:28:53,640 Speaker 1: I show up. Joe Scarborough comes out and he says, hey, 439 00:28:54,800 --> 00:28:58,680 Speaker 1: guess what Trump's going to execute his political adversaries. Claire 440 00:28:58,760 --> 00:29:02,160 Speaker 1: mcaskal remember she was a sinner her from Missouri. She 441 00:29:02,240 --> 00:29:05,760 Speaker 1: shows up on MSNBC and says that Trump is worse 442 00:29:05,800 --> 00:29:09,560 Speaker 1: than Hitler, and her evidence of why Trump is worse 443 00:29:09,640 --> 00:29:14,280 Speaker 1: than Hitler is because, unlike Hitler, he's not even trying 444 00:29:14,320 --> 00:29:18,320 Speaker 1: to expand his boundaries and he doesn't really have a philosophy. 445 00:29:19,880 --> 00:29:24,400 Speaker 1: She is default praising Hitler by criticizing Trump. How much 446 00:29:24,440 --> 00:29:28,080 Speaker 1: more of a trained monkey can you be? Claire McCaskill, 447 00:29:28,160 --> 00:29:30,719 Speaker 1: Joe Scarborough, they get their talking points, they show up 448 00:29:30,720 --> 00:29:34,960 Speaker 1: and they say exactly what they're expected to say. That's 449 00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:37,600 Speaker 1: the beast acting twenty four hours. Though the new cycle 450 00:29:37,640 --> 00:29:39,800 Speaker 1: is we gotta say Trump's hitler. I just don't think 451 00:29:39,800 --> 00:29:43,000 Speaker 1: it works. I don't think it registers. I don't think 452 00:29:43,040 --> 00:29:46,840 Speaker 1: it resonates. They're trying to play the same hit that 453 00:29:46,920 --> 00:29:49,160 Speaker 1: they think one in twenty twenty. And I think what 454 00:29:49,200 --> 00:29:52,760 Speaker 1: they're missing is Biden's failed. And also COVID ain't here anymore. 455 00:29:53,240 --> 00:29:55,600 Speaker 1: A lot of people got terrified of COVID, and a 456 00:29:55,600 --> 00:29:58,640 Speaker 1: lot of people believed, oh, Biden will restore normalcy to 457 00:29:58,680 --> 00:30:01,520 Speaker 1: the country. It hasn't happened. Biden's failed with everything that 458 00:30:01,560 --> 00:30:03,360 Speaker 1: he's touched. All right, I'm going to take some of 459 00:30:03,400 --> 00:30:05,080 Speaker 1: your calls, remember Chris Christy at the top of the 460 00:30:05,120 --> 00:30:08,440 Speaker 1: next hour.

You can tee off on me. 463 00:30:12,960 --> 00:30:14,760 Speaker 1: You can tell me that I'm an imbecile and an idiot, 464 00:30:14,800 --> 00:30:18,160 Speaker 1: and you can't believe that that I believe what I believe. 465 00:30:18,360 --> 00:30:20,320 Speaker 1: First amendments alive and well on this show, we'll have 466 00:30:20,360 --> 00:30:22,280 Speaker 1: some fun. Eight hundred and two two two eighta two 467 00:30:23,000 --> 00:30:26,720 Speaker 1: in the meantime, we're living in an artificial intelligence intelligence world. 468 00:30:26,840 --> 00:30:29,360 Speaker 1: Now it's becoming embedded in so many of the devices 469 00:30:29,360 --> 00:30:31,800 Speaker 1: we use, the website's apps we visit look at all 470 00:30:31,800 --> 00:30:34,520 Speaker 1: the attention focused on the departure of the CEO of 471 00:30:34,640 --> 00:30:37,720 Speaker 1: Open Ai and chat GPT over the past five days, 472 00:30:37,960 --> 00:30:40,400 Speaker 1: and that company's been in existence for just about a year. 473 00:30:40,720 --> 00:30:43,440 Speaker 1: AI's here to stay with companies starting to really benefit 474 00:30:43,480 --> 00:30:47,040 Speaker 1: from their technology innovations, and so will investors. There's a 475 00:30:47,080 --> 00:30:49,040 Speaker 1: tech expert out there believes this is the beginning of 476 00:30:49,080 --> 00:30:50,800 Speaker 1: a new era that can make you wealthy. When the 477 00:30:50,800 --> 00:30:53,720 Speaker 1: market hit rock bottom in November twenty twenty two, he 478 00:30:53,760 --> 00:30:56,920 Speaker 1: recommended shares of the top software company Top software company 479 00:30:57,120 --> 00:31:00,000 Speaker 1: up over two hundred percent. Since then, anyone who will 480 00:31:00,040 --> 00:31:01,960 Speaker 1: listen to them had a chance to more than double 481 00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:04,600 Speaker 1: their money in less than a year. Now he's recommending 482 00:31:04,680 --> 00:31:07,400 Speaker 1: a new AI company. He says he could do even better, 483 00:31:07,440 --> 00:31:09,280 Speaker 1: and he says he's found a way for you to 484 00:31:09,280 --> 00:31:11,960 Speaker 1: profit from the new AI project right now from your 485 00:31:11,960 --> 00:31:17,680 Speaker 1: brokerage account details online find the website newaiproject dot com. 486 00:31:18,000 --> 00:31:23,280 Speaker 1: Newaiproject dot com paid for by Brownstone researcher. 487 00:31:23,320 --> 00:31:26,760 Speaker 2: Sometimes all you can do is laugh, and they do 488 00:31:26,840 --> 00:31:30,120 Speaker 2: a lot of it with the Sunday hang Join Clay 489 00:31:30,120 --> 00:31:32,680 Speaker 2: and Buck as they lap it up in the Clay 490 00:31:32,680 --> 00:31:35,880 Speaker 2: and Buck podcast beat on the iHeartRadio app or wherever 491 00:31:35,960 --> 00:31:37,200 Speaker 2: you get your podcasts. 492 00:31:44,800 --> 00:31:48,040 Speaker 1: Welcome back in Clay, Travis Buck Sexton Show.

We got to get to the bedroom right 507 00:32:34,680 --> 00:32:36,800 Speaker 1: now and conceive a child. How did this happen? 508 00:32:37,960 --> 00:32:41,320 Speaker 4: Okay, well it's a little less it's a little more 509 00:32:41,360 --> 00:32:44,160 Speaker 4: complicated than that. So my dad was a freshman at 510 00:32:44,200 --> 00:32:46,880 Speaker 4: the University of Michigan and he was on the varsity 511 00:32:47,040 --> 00:32:50,520 Speaker 4: cheerleader cheap squad, and that was the weekend of the 512 00:32:50,520 --> 00:32:56,760 Speaker 4: old Michigan Ohio State game and because of the because 513 00:32:56,800 --> 00:33:00,680 Speaker 4: of the assassination, they canceled all the activity that weekend, 514 00:33:00,760 --> 00:33:03,920 Speaker 4: including the game. So he high tailed it back home, 515 00:33:03,960 --> 00:33:07,000 Speaker 4: probably about fifty miles away or so. And so just 516 00:33:07,360 --> 00:33:10,800 Speaker 4: like recently I kind of figured out, oh, that was 517 00:33:10,920 --> 00:33:13,320 Speaker 4: nine months before I was born, and there was no 518 00:33:13,480 --> 00:33:16,160 Speaker 4: other time that he was in the area where my 519 00:33:16,240 --> 00:33:19,720 Speaker 4: mom was, uh where it could possibly have happened. So 520 00:33:19,800 --> 00:33:23,760 Speaker 4: because he was, because his plans changed directly because of 521 00:33:23,800 --> 00:33:26,280 Speaker 4: the assassination. So you know, I don't know whether to 522 00:33:26,920 --> 00:33:29,160 Speaker 4: I mourn it, but I also kind of celebrated just 523 00:33:29,200 --> 00:33:32,360 Speaker 4: a little bit because, Okay, so wait, your wouldn't have happened. 524 00:33:32,560 --> 00:33:36,360 Speaker 1: You would not be alive if JFK hadn't been assassinated. 525 00:33:37,480 --> 00:33:41,360 Speaker 4: That's correct, Your dad exactly correct, got out. 526 00:33:41,280 --> 00:33:44,840 Speaker 1: Of school and was your mom, uh like also in 527 00:33:44,840 --> 00:33:46,800 Speaker 1: school or which well, how much younger was she? 528 00:33:48,160 --> 00:33:50,200 Speaker 4: No, no, she was. She was a little bit older, 529 00:33:50,240 --> 00:33:53,120 Speaker 4: and she was. She was back in his hometown and 530 00:33:53,440 --> 00:33:54,680 Speaker 4: your mom was robbing. 531 00:33:54,880 --> 00:33:59,000 Speaker 1: Your mom was robbing the cradle. Her cheerleader boyfriend leaves 532 00:33:59,000 --> 00:34:01,920 Speaker 1: the University of Mission again, comes home. They fall into 533 00:34:02,000 --> 00:34:05,280 Speaker 1: each other's arms, maybe to console one another after the assassination, 534 00:34:05,560 --> 00:34:08,399 Speaker 1: and you are the result. You are basically fifty nine 535 00:34:08,480 --> 00:34:10,439 Speaker 1: or sixty years old. I guess fifty nine right now. 536 00:34:11,840 --> 00:34:16,839 Speaker 4: He actually went over to get a haircut, and one 537 00:34:16,880 --> 00:34:18,160 Speaker 4: thing led to another. 538 00:34:18,880 --> 00:34:21,239 Speaker 1: So your mom was giving him a haircut, cut his hair. 539 00:34:22,080 --> 00:34:23,120 Speaker 1: That sounds like an excuse. 540 00:34:23,640 --> 00:34:24,280 Speaker 4: Let's do another. 541 00:34:24,840 --> 00:34:27,200 Speaker 1: This is a heck of a story. Were they married 542 00:34:27,280 --> 00:34:28,680 Speaker 1: or were you born out of wedlock? Or do they 543 00:34:28,680 --> 00:34:31,040 Speaker 1: get married? The shotgun met wedding after this? 544 00:34:32,280 --> 00:34:35,080 Speaker 4: No, no, they never got married. So I never got 545 00:34:35,200 --> 00:34:39,000 Speaker 4: married ill and so never got married. No, So it 546 00:34:39,040 --> 00:34:41,160 Speaker 4: was kind of and I have never had a chance 547 00:34:41,200 --> 00:34:44,239 Speaker 4: to confirm or confront her about it. Not confront, but 548 00:34:44,360 --> 00:34:47,279 Speaker 4: you know, for confirm or deny.
