Although she may still be 16 00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:54,200 Speaker 1: in Washington, DC. Senator Marsha Blackburn, Senator Joe Biden's already 17 00:00:54,320 --> 00:00:56,880 Speaker 1: left the White House for the day. He's headed to 18 00:00:57,000 --> 00:00:59,800 Speaker 1: his beach house. He didn't get in until twelve thirty 19 00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:03,400 Speaker 1: on Monday, but I was kind of thinking, is it 20 00:01:03,440 --> 00:01:05,400 Speaker 1: better for Joe Biden just not to be in the 21 00:01:05,440 --> 00:01:07,720 Speaker 1: White House at all, since everything he seems to be 22 00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:12,199 Speaker 1: doing is such a disaster. Everything they are doing makes 23 00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:16,480 Speaker 1: the line of Tennesseean's and the American people worse. And 24 00:01:17,080 --> 00:01:19,840 Speaker 1: when I talk with people here in Tennessee Clay, they 25 00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:23,000 Speaker 1: are saying, you know, I voted for Joe Biden, or 26 00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:26,399 Speaker 1: I didn't support Joe Biden, but I thought he would 27 00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:30,720 Speaker 1: be a moderate. I didn't expect Bernie Sanders. And they're 28 00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:34,440 Speaker 1: just so frustrated because inflation, the price it's pumps a 29 00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:37,520 Speaker 1: price it's a grocery store, the open border, drugs on 30 00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:41,160 Speaker 1: the streets, crime in the communities, the list goes on 31 00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:44,680 Speaker 1: and on, and they're really frustrated with what is coming 32 00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:48,400 Speaker 1: out of this administration. So maybe we just want to 33 00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:50,560 Speaker 1: see Joe go to the beach and stay there for 34 00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:53,640 Speaker 1: the rest of the summer and the Democrats not try 35 00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:57,400 Speaker 1: to pass one more bill because we're playing block and 36 00:01:57,520 --> 00:02:01,360 Speaker 1: tackle every single day. Or Blackburn, it's buck, thanks for 37 00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:05,440 Speaker 1: being with us. The latest that we saw was on 38 00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:10,240 Speaker 1: the bill that's supposed to be bipartisan on gun control 39 00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:14,239 Speaker 1: gun restrictions that it's running into some problems now and 40 00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:17,920 Speaker 1: may not actually go through the Senate. You have you 41 00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:22,840 Speaker 1: any insight into that. You tell us more about that. Well, 42 00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:26,679 Speaker 1: they have a framework, they don't have legislative text, and 43 00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:30,360 Speaker 1: there's a big difference. And I'm one that has said, look, 44 00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:33,320 Speaker 1: I will not vote for anything that is going to 45 00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:37,840 Speaker 1: infringe on any body Second Amendment rights. I am not 46 00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:41,040 Speaker 1: going to vote for anything that would give a platform 47 00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:47,240 Speaker 1: that the federal government could establish some kind of national 48 00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:51,880 Speaker 1: gun registry. And do we need to harden schools? Yes. 49 00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:55,760 Speaker 1: Four months I've been recommending that we use the one 50 00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:59,640 Speaker 1: hundred billion dollars left over from COVID in the Elementary 51 00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:04,760 Speaker 1: and Secondary Schools Fund so that schools can apply technology 52 00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:09,680 Speaker 1: harden those schools. Also, for years, I have been recommending 53 00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:13,760 Speaker 1: that we work with retired law enforcement and veterans and 54 00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:17,480 Speaker 1: deputize them so they can take a shift and be 55 00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:23,200 Speaker 1: the officer on duty at every school, with schools having 56 00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:28,240 Speaker 1: one one point of entry into those schools. Those are 57 00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:32,720 Speaker 1: common sense things that could be done. But you know, 58 00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:35,520 Speaker 1: when you leave it to the left, they don't want 59 00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:39,240 Speaker 1: to do that. They want to have red flag laws 60 00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:42,960 Speaker 1: that they are going to say they can incent the states. 61 00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:46,520 Speaker 1: But then it turns out to being a mandate and 62 00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:51,640 Speaker 1: its coercive behavior on behalf of the federal government. So 63 00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:54,520 Speaker 1: for me, that is not something I'm going to support. 64 00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:57,480 Speaker 1: Center Blackburn you know this. I mean my kids live 65 00:03:57,600 --> 00:04:00,840 Speaker 1: in Williamson County, just outside of Nashville, and what you 66 00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:03,800 Speaker 1: just referenced, they go to public school. We have a 67 00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:08,440 Speaker 1: security police officer there that they love, Officer Show, who's 68 00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:11,400 Speaker 1: been inside their school for years. Kids all of her 69 00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:14,240 Speaker 1: and they have one entry point and I don't understand 70 00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:17,200 Speaker 1: why that's remotely controversial. I also want to thank you 71 00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:22,479 Speaker 1: this absurd wokeification that's going on with our military where 72 00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:25,600 Speaker 1: we spend more time talking about diversity and inclusion than 73 00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:29,360 Speaker 1: we do kicking people's ass, and you've got a policy 74 00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:33,120 Speaker 1: in place that you're working on to try to dewokeify 75 00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:37,880 Speaker 1: our military. What would that entail? Yes, I actually have 76 00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:41,200 Speaker 1: two different bills. I had offered these in our Defense 77 00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:46,960 Speaker 1: Authorization Act markup that we had and Clay, what this 78 00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:51,480 Speaker 1: would do is, I think the military should be focused 79 00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:55,840 Speaker 1: on our adversaries and on fighting and winning wars. We 80 00:04:55,880 --> 00:05:00,240 Speaker 1: know that the new access of evil is communist China, 81 00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:04,359 Speaker 1: Ron and North Korea. They don't give a rippen flip 82 00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:09,240 Speaker 1: about how woke the US military is, but the American 83 00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:14,640 Speaker 1: people care desperately about defeating our enemies and our adversaries. 84 00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:18,799 Speaker 1: That is what the focus of the military should be, readiness, training, 85 00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:23,359 Speaker 1: preparation to fight and to win. And the second provision 86 00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:27,120 Speaker 1: that I have offered in and working on is to 87 00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:31,719 Speaker 1: protect the children of military members when they are in 88 00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:36,240 Speaker 1: our DoD schools on military basis. It had come to 89 00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:39,239 Speaker 1: my attention that we had some teachers who were trying 90 00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:42,480 Speaker 1: to work with the student to hide the student wanting 91 00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:47,080 Speaker 1: to do gender fluidity or gender transition or have psychological care. 92 00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:50,719 Speaker 1: The parents do not need to be kept in the 93 00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:53,760 Speaker 1: dark on this, and we do not need teachers on 94 00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:57,320 Speaker 1: our military basis encouraging children not to talk to their 95 00:05:57,400 --> 00:06:00,839 Speaker 1: parents and to hide things from them. And I found 96 00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:03,680 Speaker 1: out through this process, if there was not a DoD policy, 97 00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:07,640 Speaker 1: that parents needed to have the right to be involved 98 00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:10,320 Speaker 1: in these decisions. So I tried to push that forward, 99 00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:13,320 Speaker 1: and we're yet to get bipartisan agreement on that one. 100 00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:18,920 Speaker 1: Speaking of Senator Marsha Blackburn of Tennessee, Senator, if you 101 00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:21,919 Speaker 1: are in the majority come next year, which Clay and 102 00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:25,240 Speaker 1: I and certainly the audience are hoping is going to 103 00:06:25,279 --> 00:06:27,960 Speaker 1: be the case. What are some of the things that 104 00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:31,080 Speaker 1: you and your Senate colleagues in the Republic. Again, assuming 105 00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:34,240 Speaker 1: a Republican majority would plan to do, Biden would still 106 00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:37,080 Speaker 1: be president, so that creates some roadblocks. But what would 107 00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:40,800 Speaker 1: you like to see happen? We need to get the 108 00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:44,200 Speaker 1: country on the right track, and starting with that are 109 00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:46,440 Speaker 1: two things we need to do. Address the cost of 110 00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:51,520 Speaker 1: the pump, which means restarting the Keystone Pipeline, opening up 111 00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:56,520 Speaker 1: Alaska offshore drilling, go back to fracking, and it's going 112 00:06:56,560 --> 00:06:59,440 Speaker 1: to mean that a Republican Ledhouse and Senate is going 113 00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:02,320 Speaker 1: to have to takes us up and push it forward 114 00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:06,400 Speaker 1: and to override Joe Biden and the leftist opinion on 115 00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:10,320 Speaker 1: this issue. The second thing is getting government spending under control. 116 00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:13,160 Speaker 1: And as y'all know, and as you've talked about, the 117 00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:17,640 Speaker 1: two things, inflation, the prices upon the grocery store and 118 00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:20,840 Speaker 1: government spending have been the two drivers on this out 119 00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:24,000 Speaker 1: of control inflation rates that we're seeing. So we need 120 00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:27,320 Speaker 1: to freeze government spending. We need to freeze government hiring. 121 00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:33,520 Speaker 1: We need to freeze escalation rates in salaries of government employees. 122 00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:38,200 Speaker 1: And then we need to require a supermajority to pass 123 00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:43,120 Speaker 1: any spending bill during times of high inflation. And that 124 00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:45,880 Speaker 1: is the legislation I've had now this is the second 125 00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:49,720 Speaker 1: year I've had it. When inflation is high, we ought 126 00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:52,880 Speaker 1: not to have these bills flying through Congress. Just look 127 00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:56,200 Speaker 1: at what the Biden administration has done. You've got six 128 00:07:56,240 --> 00:07:59,040 Speaker 1: point eight trillion that was spent on COVID, and then 129 00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:03,440 Speaker 1: you had another two trillions and one point nine trillion 130 00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:06,920 Speaker 1: in infrastructure, and now for his billback, Brokagen to Biden 131 00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:10,760 Speaker 1: launch another two trillion dollars in The economists are saying, 132 00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:15,160 Speaker 1: stop spending government money. So let's be smart about this. 133 00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:19,480 Speaker 1: Let's stop it. Sendor Blackburn, you also have gone aggressively 134 00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:23,120 Speaker 1: after the threats that have been put forward against Supreme 135 00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:26,920 Speaker 1: Court justices. The left wants to pretend that a crazy 136 00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:30,040 Speaker 1: lunatic didn't show up at Justice Kavanaugh's house trying to 137 00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:33,240 Speaker 1: assassinate him. It took forever for the House to actually 138 00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:35,679 Speaker 1: pass a bill to provide protection. I know the Senate 139 00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:39,760 Speaker 1: acted much faster on that, But to your point, what 140 00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:43,360 Speaker 1: in the world is going on with this lack of 141 00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:47,640 Speaker 1: protection for Supreme Court justices? What should happen in your mind. 142 00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:50,000 Speaker 1: I know you've been pretty outspoken and active about this. 143 00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:54,840 Speaker 1: When it comes to our justices and their families, they 144 00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:57,400 Speaker 1: need to have round the clock protection. That is the 145 00:08:57,440 --> 00:08:59,840 Speaker 1: bill we moved out of the Senate, and then Pelosi 146 00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:04,880 Speaker 1: sat on it for a month, and then you had 147 00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:09,760 Speaker 1: the squad and the leftists in the House vote against it. 148 00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:13,320 Speaker 1: But they are in mind, every lasting one of them. 149 00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:16,760 Speaker 1: Every one of them voted for extra protection for themselves 150 00:09:16,840 --> 00:09:20,280 Speaker 1: after January sixth, So they want to protect themselves, but 151 00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:24,200 Speaker 1: they don't want to protect the justices and the justice's families. 152 00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:27,320 Speaker 1: The other thing is these protesters that are out in 153 00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:31,960 Speaker 1: front disturbing the peace, messing up the neighborhoods where these 154 00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:35,280 Speaker 1: justices live or where they go to church. They should 155 00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:37,840 Speaker 1: be marched down the city Hall and they should be 156 00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:43,880 Speaker 1: booked on violation of eighteen USC. One five h seven, 157 00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:50,040 Speaker 1: because it is illegal to go out and protest at 158 00:09:50,040 --> 00:09:53,839 Speaker 1: a judge's home and try to influence a sederal judge 159 00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:58,560 Speaker 1: on the outcome of a decision. It is an illegal act. 160 00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:02,560 Speaker 1: So I think that d OJ and FBI need to 161 00:10:02,559 --> 00:10:04,959 Speaker 1: get out here and they need to do their job, 162 00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:08,680 Speaker 1: and they need to make certain that they are very 163 00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:14,480 Speaker 1: carefully what is happening with these protests in these communities, 164 00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:18,080 Speaker 1: because many of these protesters, in these groups that are 165 00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:21,400 Speaker 1: sponsoring the protest is y'all know, they have been saying, 166 00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:24,200 Speaker 1: you're going to have a summer of rage if we 167 00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:27,880 Speaker 1: don't get the opinion we want from the Supreme Court. 168 00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:32,559 Speaker 1: That is illegal. Chuck Schumer ought to go out here 169 00:10:32,559 --> 00:10:35,640 Speaker 1: and he ought to apologize to Gorsitch in kavanaf for 170 00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:38,080 Speaker 1: calling him out on the steps of the Supreme Court 171 00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:41,360 Speaker 1: some months ago and saying you have unleashed the whirlwind. 172 00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:47,520 Speaker 1: That is inappropriate.

I hope 201 00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:29,080 Speaker 1: all the Dad's out there, are having a fantastic early 202 00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:31,960 Speaker 1: start to your weekend. I've got three boys of my own. 203 00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:35,440 Speaker 1: I cannot wait to hang out with them during the 204 00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:38,720 Speaker 1: course of this weekend. My dad was scheduled to be 205 00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:42,439 Speaker 1: on with us, but yesterday I just want to kind 206 00:12:42,440 --> 00:12:45,480 Speaker 1: of fill you guys in. Yesterday, near the end of 207 00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:50,079 Speaker 1: the show, I got some awful news. My first cousin, 208 00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:57,000 Speaker 1: Steve Travis, he's sixty two years old, died unexpectedly yesterday. 209 00:12:57,080 --> 00:13:01,000 Speaker 1: It's my dad's nephew. He is incredibly broken up about it. 210 00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:03,520 Speaker 1: He didn't feel like he could come on and talk 211 00:13:03,559 --> 00:13:05,800 Speaker 1: about Father's Day because of this death we just had 212 00:13:05,840 --> 00:13:08,640 Speaker 1: in the family. But I just wanted to tell you 213 00:13:08,640 --> 00:13:11,040 Speaker 1: a little bit about Steve here as we roll in. 214 00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:15,679 Speaker 1: He's a father himself. His daughter Jennifer, is absolutely fantastic, 215 00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:21,320 Speaker 1: and he is a thirty plus year listener of the 216 00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:26,119 Speaker 1: Rush Limbaugh Show. He was a huge fan of Rush 217 00:13:26,160 --> 00:13:30,000 Speaker 1: and when I got the offer from Julie Talbot, who 218 00:13:30,040 --> 00:13:33,720 Speaker 1: was Bucking Eyes boss and she's fantastic to come and 219 00:13:33,840 --> 00:13:36,600 Speaker 1: be able to take over this show. I only called 220 00:13:36,640 --> 00:13:38,920 Speaker 1: a couple of people to ask them about it, and 221 00:13:39,160 --> 00:13:41,880 Speaker 1: Steve was one of them because he was such a 222 00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:46,560 Speaker 1: diehard Rush Limbaugh fan. And it's been really fun the 223 00:13:46,640 --> 00:13:50,480 Speaker 1: last year because he listened every day and he would 224 00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:54,320 Speaker 1: text during segments and share his opinions and thoughts as 225 00:13:54,640 --> 00:13:56,720 Speaker 1: someone who had been listening to this show for a 226 00:13:56,800 --> 00:14:00,520 Speaker 1: really long time. And yesterday he was had been in 227 00:14:00,559 --> 00:14:04,640 Speaker 1: perfect health. He was outside early in the morning working 228 00:14:04,800 --> 00:14:07,320 Speaker 1: in his yard, like I said, sixty two years old, 229 00:14:07,360 --> 00:14:10,160 Speaker 1: had just recently been to the doctor, gotten a clean 230 00:14:10,240 --> 00:14:13,559 Speaker 1: bill of health, and he just collapsed and died. And 231 00:14:13,640 --> 00:14:17,400 Speaker 1: so my family is still stunned. We'd asked for your prayer, 232 00:14:17,520 --> 00:14:20,400 Speaker 1: certainly for Steve's close family, his daughter and his wife, 233 00:14:21,480 --> 00:14:25,560 Speaker 1: but my dad, who is again it's his nephew and 234 00:14:25,800 --> 00:14:28,240 Speaker 1: they kind of grew up together. He was just so 235 00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:30,480 Speaker 1: broken up over this that he didn't think he could 236 00:14:30,520 --> 00:14:34,160 Speaker 1: come on and talk about Father's Day. So what I 237 00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:37,200 Speaker 1: would just say to everybody out there is, you know, 238 00:14:37,360 --> 00:14:41,760 Speaker 1: if you've got a dad, hug him grandpa. If sometimes 239 00:14:41,760 --> 00:14:46,320 Speaker 1: you know, families don't get along, none of us are 240 00:14:46,440 --> 00:14:53,440 Speaker 1: guaranteed anything at all, right, And so I would just say, 241 00:14:53,520 --> 00:14:57,480 Speaker 1: you know, as all of us are celebrating Father's Day, 242 00:14:58,040 --> 00:15:00,320 Speaker 1: I know Mother's Day just happened. If you got people 243 00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:05,040 Speaker 1: in your family that you care about, don't ever neglect 244 00:15:05,160 --> 00:15:08,200 Speaker 1: telling them how much you care. And I know that 245 00:15:08,360 --> 00:15:11,120 Speaker 1: things can be controversial and difficult on a day to 246 00:15:11,160 --> 00:15:15,400 Speaker 1: day basis. Certainly no family is perfect, but I do 247 00:15:15,520 --> 00:15:19,240 Speaker 1: think on times like these, and everybody has unexpected awful 248 00:15:19,320 --> 00:15:21,280 Speaker 1: things that happen in their family that none of us 249 00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:25,320 Speaker 1: can control. But I do think that I would just 250 00:15:25,360 --> 00:15:27,360 Speaker 1: want to say to everybody out there. First of all, 251 00:15:27,560 --> 00:15:31,440 Speaker 1: you know, Steve was an incredible long time Russia Limbaugh listener, 252 00:15:31,960 --> 00:15:36,480 Speaker 1: and I am honored to have known him, and he 253 00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:39,560 Speaker 1: is one of you to his core and to his soul, 254 00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:41,600 Speaker 1: and he's a big reason why you're listening to me 255 00:15:41,720 --> 00:15:45,920 Speaker 1: talk on this show right now. And for everybody out 256 00:15:45,920 --> 00:15:49,960 Speaker 1: there who is who is certainly getting ready for Father's Day, 257 00:15:50,560 --> 00:15:52,240 Speaker 1: just take the time to tell the people in your 258 00:15:52,280 --> 00:15:54,800 Speaker 1: life that you love them, because none of us are 259 00:15:54,840 --> 00:15:58,520 Speaker 1: guaranteed any day, any hour, and things can happen at 260 00:15:58,560 --> 00:16:01,400 Speaker 1: any point. We're going to be joined by Buck's dad, 261 00:16:01,400 --> 00:16:03,880 Speaker 1: who is phenomenal. I don't want to make the whole show, 262 00:16:03,920 --> 00:16:05,480 Speaker 1: certainly any kind of down, or we're gonna have a 263 00:16:05,520 --> 00:16:08,040 Speaker 1: lot of fun To close, out this Friday edition. But 264 00:16:08,120 --> 00:16:10,560 Speaker 1: I just wanted to mention why my own dad was 265 00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:12,160 Speaker 1: not going to be on. He didn't think he could 266 00:16:12,200 --> 00:16:14,560 Speaker 1: make it through segments talking about Father's Day after what 267 00:16:14,600 --> 00:16:19,040 Speaker 1: happened yesterday in our family. So Buck, look, you know this, 268 00:16:19,200 --> 00:16:22,520 Speaker 1: and everybody else out there knows. You never know when 269 00:16:22,920 --> 00:16:26,160 Speaker 1: something tragic might happen in your life, and so we 270 00:16:26,280 --> 00:16:28,440 Speaker 1: love spending time with all of you.

There was actually 341 00:20:03,640 --> 00:20:06,320 Speaker 1: a question here that was sent in from a caller 342 00:20:07,280 --> 00:20:10,919 Speaker 1: asking about what get into all that. I understand, but 343 00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:13,320 Speaker 1: I you know it don't mean to preempted, but to 344 00:20:13,400 --> 00:20:16,600 Speaker 1: say that asking what did I like to do with you, Buck, 345 00:20:16,720 --> 00:20:19,560 Speaker 1: and and really, you know what, our favorite thing is 346 00:20:19,560 --> 00:20:22,040 Speaker 1: just to hang out. We have a big terrace in 347 00:20:22,040 --> 00:20:24,960 Speaker 1: our apartment fortunately, and and we love just to hang 348 00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:29,119 Speaker 1: out together, have dinner together, yep, and and talk you know, 349 00:20:29,200 --> 00:20:32,879 Speaker 1: politics going in people's lives. And that's it. We just 350 00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:35,600 Speaker 1: we love being together. That's pretty much it. What age 351 00:20:35,640 --> 00:20:37,679 Speaker 1: I'm curious because I've got a fourteen and eleven and 352 00:20:37,720 --> 00:20:40,360 Speaker 1: a seven year old. I've got three boys. You now 353 00:20:40,400 --> 00:20:43,640 Speaker 1: our grandfather as well, so congratulations on that. But as 354 00:20:43,680 --> 00:20:46,720 Speaker 1: a dad, what ages did you like Buck and his 355 00:20:46,800 --> 00:20:49,720 Speaker 1: brothers and his sister? What age range did you find 356 00:20:49,720 --> 00:20:51,560 Speaker 1: to be the most fun as a parent? Was there 357 00:20:51,600 --> 00:20:55,080 Speaker 1: one era that stands out? Boy, that's an interesting question. 358 00:20:55,320 --> 00:20:59,440 Speaker 1: I think it was different for each child. You know, 359 00:21:00,720 --> 00:21:04,320 Speaker 1: be honest with you. You know it all it all 360 00:21:04,320 --> 00:21:10,119 Speaker 1: passes so quickly, and I don't remember a bad time. 361 00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:13,760 Speaker 1: It all seems like it was all, you know, pretty special, 362 00:21:13,800 --> 00:21:18,240 Speaker 1: and I felt really blessed to have such outstanding children. 363 00:21:19,040 --> 00:21:22,200 Speaker 1: That's that's really the truth. So we got some VIP emails. 364 00:21:22,200 --> 00:21:24,800 Speaker 1: We've also got some calls Dad from people that want 365 00:21:24,840 --> 00:21:27,440 Speaker 1: to speak to you. And again, we were gonna have 366 00:21:27,480 --> 00:21:30,600 Speaker 1: Clay's dad but we're have Clay's dad on a future show. 367 00:21:31,200 --> 00:21:34,760 Speaker 1: Um Alfie in New York City said, Buck and Clay 368 00:21:34,880 --> 00:21:38,240 Speaker 1: display real leadership qualities. I love that our team. Yeah, look, 369 00:21:38,600 --> 00:21:41,320 Speaker 1: everybody's fantastic, how everybody loves us. But Buck and Clay 370 00:21:41,320 --> 00:21:44,000 Speaker 1: display real leadership qualities. I'm wondering if they were naturally 371 00:21:44,080 --> 00:21:47,560 Speaker 1: liked that as kids. For example, were they class president, 372 00:21:47,600 --> 00:21:50,080 Speaker 1: heads of any clubs at school, capital of a sports team, 373 00:21:50,160 --> 00:21:52,160 Speaker 1: or in the cub Scouts. Of Clay, we just said, 374 00:21:52,640 --> 00:21:54,600 Speaker 1: were you president? I was your president of the school. 375 00:21:54,720 --> 00:21:57,399 Speaker 1: You are too right. We're both presidents of the student 376 00:21:57,440 --> 00:22:00,520 Speaker 1: body at our respective schools. So I guess that's a 377 00:22:00,520 --> 00:22:02,679 Speaker 1: good sign. Yeah, I mean I think that, you know, 378 00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:07,080 Speaker 1: to some degree, says at all Buck, uh, you know 379 00:22:07,280 --> 00:22:11,080 Speaker 1: started out. I think he's told the story of his 380 00:22:11,119 --> 00:22:14,399 Speaker 1: speech impediment and how that you know, held him back 381 00:22:14,480 --> 00:22:17,880 Speaker 1: in in early school, first and second grade, and then 382 00:22:17,920 --> 00:22:20,080 Speaker 1: he he got you know, we got him to a 383 00:22:20,119 --> 00:22:23,160 Speaker 1: speech pathologist who really helped him, and by the third 384 00:22:23,200 --> 00:22:26,400 Speaker 1: or fourth grade he was the top student in his class. 385 00:22:26,640 --> 00:22:30,439 Speaker 1: And from then on, you know, he really was, you know, 386 00:22:30,520 --> 00:22:34,280 Speaker 1: sort of a leader of his peer group going forward. 387 00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:38,400 Speaker 1: From then on, I mean right through high school, uh 388 00:22:38,440 --> 00:22:42,920 Speaker 1: to a lesser degree in college only because uh, perhaps 389 00:22:42,960 --> 00:22:48,280 Speaker 1: of the vagaries of Amherst. He knows, he knows that 390 00:22:48,400 --> 00:22:50,800 Speaker 1: you know, I got I got picketed. Dad knows this story. 391 00:22:51,280 --> 00:22:54,119 Speaker 1: For a Sanco de Mayo party, I mean there was 392 00:22:54,160 --> 00:22:59,520 Speaker 1: actual yeah, yeah, and and it was everyone just came 393 00:22:59,560 --> 00:23:01,720 Speaker 1: down on the buckster because like I like to throw 394 00:23:01,760 --> 00:23:03,520 Speaker 1: a party and have a good time, calling my mom 395 00:23:03,520 --> 00:23:05,439 Speaker 1: and dad. I'm like, everyone's coming down on me. The 396 00:23:05,520 --> 00:23:07,560 Speaker 1: good news was that there was so there was a 397 00:23:07,560 --> 00:23:12,040 Speaker 1: flyer that was made, and the flyer was considered offensive. Offensive, 398 00:23:12,160 --> 00:23:14,480 Speaker 1: and there was a lot of cultural appropriation going on. 399 00:23:14,880 --> 00:23:18,639 Speaker 1: I was just in charge of booze procuring. I was 400 00:23:18,720 --> 00:23:23,879 Speaker 1: not involved tequila and and fortunately the young woman who 401 00:23:23,960 --> 00:23:27,120 Speaker 1: was my classmate who made the offensive flyer was a 402 00:23:27,160 --> 00:23:30,640 Speaker 1: female from South Asia and therefore they were far less 403 00:23:30,640 --> 00:23:33,240 Speaker 1: inclined to kick her out of school than a white guy. 404 00:23:33,320 --> 00:23:35,719 Speaker 1: I had to have meetings with all the diversity counselors. 405 00:23:35,920 --> 00:23:38,480 Speaker 1: I had threats of picketing. They said they were going 406 00:23:38,520 --> 00:23:40,600 Speaker 1: to call the police on us for the school said 407 00:23:40,640 --> 00:23:43,200 Speaker 1: they would call actual police on us for underage drinking. 408 00:23:43,520 --> 00:23:45,320 Speaker 1: And so we had to just like beg forgiveness and 409 00:23:45,359 --> 00:23:48,800 Speaker 1: drink our tequila behind closed doors. That is an amazing story. 410 00:23:48,920 --> 00:23:51,520 Speaker 1: By the next one. By the way, Yeah, Gabby in Beacon, 411 00:23:52,160 --> 00:23:55,120 Speaker 1: New York says, uh, we I mentioned that we met 412 00:23:55,200 --> 00:23:57,439 Speaker 1: last night, and Buck's mom has already been on. Uh. 413 00:23:57,760 --> 00:24:01,160 Speaker 1: I know, miss Sexton was an actress. Question here from 414 00:24:01,200 --> 00:24:05,280 Speaker 1: Gabby were you ever a hair model? Because you still 415 00:24:05,320 --> 00:24:07,960 Speaker 1: have a heck of a head of hair on you 416 00:24:07,960 --> 00:24:12,200 Speaker 1: your son. O. This is Gabby and Beacon, New York. 417 00:24:12,840 --> 00:24:19,760 Speaker 1: I'm reading directly. This is her question, not mine. Gabby anyway, 418 00:24:19,080 --> 00:24:22,080 Speaker 1: h No, I your dad. I mean you just you 419 00:24:22,119 --> 00:24:24,199 Speaker 1: were you were a stockbroker, right, You just went to 420 00:24:24,240 --> 00:24:28,520 Speaker 1: your fiftieth and right reunion business school reunion, just got 421 00:24:28,520 --> 00:24:30,880 Speaker 1: back from it. Yeah, it was quite an experience, I'll 422 00:24:30,920 --> 00:24:33,480 Speaker 1: be honest with you. For a lot of reasons, I 423 00:24:33,480 --> 00:24:35,919 Speaker 1: don't want to go on a huge tangent, but basically, 424 00:24:36,160 --> 00:24:38,720 Speaker 1: they're about of of my class of seventy five that 425 00:24:38,880 --> 00:24:43,199 Speaker 1: started in the class of nineteen seventy two, uh twenty 426 00:24:43,200 --> 00:24:46,959 Speaker 1: percent of past and and that's a very sobering reality. 427 00:24:47,320 --> 00:24:52,359 Speaker 1: And then of the remaining uh sixty or so in 428 00:24:52,560 --> 00:24:55,640 Speaker 1: that are still alive, about twenty one or twenty two 429 00:24:55,680 --> 00:24:59,240 Speaker 1: showed up for the reunion with their significant others, wives 430 00:24:59,240 --> 00:25:02,760 Speaker 1: and so on, and it was in many ways the 431 00:25:02,760 --> 00:25:06,119 Speaker 1: best reunion by far, because all the competition that you 432 00:25:06,240 --> 00:25:08,560 Speaker 1: usually you know when you show up at your tenth 433 00:25:08,640 --> 00:25:13,000 Speaker 1: or your twentieth, uh, those that was all gone. It's 434 00:25:13,040 --> 00:25:16,040 Speaker 1: all about you know, your health, your grandchildren, your family, 435 00:25:16,640 --> 00:25:21,720 Speaker 1: and there was a real sense of camaraderie and love 436 00:25:21,880 --> 00:25:25,800 Speaker 1: and special you know, affection within the group. And I 437 00:25:25,840 --> 00:25:29,840 Speaker 1: thought that was that was really something I didn't really anticipate, 438 00:25:29,920 --> 00:25:33,919 Speaker 1: but I found, you know, really really rewards. Remember how 439 00:25:33,960 --> 00:25:35,920 Speaker 1: much at Harvard Business School costs when you went there, 440 00:25:36,040 --> 00:25:38,440 Speaker 1: Well it was funny because when I started it was 441 00:25:38,480 --> 00:25:44,360 Speaker 1: thirty five hundred dollars, that's right. But the funny part 442 00:25:44,359 --> 00:25:50,000 Speaker 1: about it was that there was actually a protest with 443 00:25:50,160 --> 00:25:54,520 Speaker 1: signs and you know everything else. Uh when they raised 444 00:25:54,560 --> 00:25:57,280 Speaker 1: a tuition to five thousand dollars of my second year, 445 00:25:57,920 --> 00:26:03,399 Speaker 1: So you can imagine Harvard Business School students protesting. And 446 00:26:03,400 --> 00:26:06,159 Speaker 1: we were just speaking about the campus radicalism thing that 447 00:26:06,240 --> 00:26:07,920 Speaker 1: I you know that I doubt, which was just people. 448 00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:10,240 Speaker 1: It was like the movie PCU for our listeners, which 449 00:26:10,400 --> 00:26:13,200 Speaker 1: if you have not seen you absolutely would have fun 450 00:26:13,240 --> 00:26:16,240 Speaker 1: watching You guys have all seen PCU right politically correct university. 451 00:26:16,240 --> 00:26:21,000 Speaker 1: You haven't unacceptable. It's even more timely, I would say 452 00:26:21,040 --> 00:26:23,560 Speaker 1: now than ever it was. But you were at Columbia 453 00:26:23,720 --> 00:26:28,080 Speaker 1: when the students seized the building broke right, t tell 454 00:26:28,119 --> 00:26:31,000 Speaker 1: us about this was crazy. Well again I was. I 455 00:26:31,040 --> 00:26:34,439 Speaker 1: graduated from Columbia nineteen sixty nine. But in nineteen sixty eight, 456 00:26:34,600 --> 00:26:38,760 Speaker 1: my junior year, the students for a Democratic Society, a 457 00:26:38,880 --> 00:26:42,760 Speaker 1: young man named Mark Rudd, some of you remember, literally 458 00:26:42,800 --> 00:26:48,200 Speaker 1: shut the university down completely and radicalized, you know, all 459 00:26:48,280 --> 00:26:52,960 Speaker 1: the students that remained on campus, and they were really 460 00:26:53,040 --> 00:26:56,879 Speaker 1: far left radicals, I mean in the mathematics building, you know, 461 00:26:56,920 --> 00:27:01,680 Speaker 1: you had you know, real Marxists, wanted to literally burn 462 00:27:01,760 --> 00:27:05,359 Speaker 1: the university down. So after about two weeks of shutting 463 00:27:05,359 --> 00:27:08,640 Speaker 1: down the university, finally I think it was Grayson Kirk, 464 00:27:08,640 --> 00:27:12,200 Speaker 1: who was the president, called in the New York Police Department, 465 00:27:12,680 --> 00:27:17,960 Speaker 1: and that was an incredible experience. I happened to work 466 00:27:18,160 --> 00:27:21,800 Speaker 1: at the time for Whitney north Seymour junior, who was 467 00:27:22,920 --> 00:27:28,520 Speaker 1: became the Southern District Attorney. Uh And anyway, real real 468 00:27:28,600 --> 00:27:31,960 Speaker 1: quickly I got word that the police were coming in 469 00:27:32,119 --> 00:27:36,040 Speaker 1: at two a m. That night, And so I had 470 00:27:36,080 --> 00:27:39,440 Speaker 1: a friend who had a an apartment on the fourth 471 00:27:39,440 --> 00:27:42,600 Speaker 1: floor at one hundred and sixteenth Street and Amsterdam, so 472 00:27:42,640 --> 00:27:47,240 Speaker 1: I could watch the main gate and these that they 473 00:27:47,280 --> 00:27:49,760 Speaker 1: call them the Tactical Police Force. They're all on these 474 00:27:49,800 --> 00:27:53,600 Speaker 1: big horses and they're all you know, got helm right, 475 00:27:53,640 --> 00:27:57,040 Speaker 1: the whole thing. Anyway, it was, it was a real war. 476 00:27:57,640 --> 00:28:01,680 Speaker 1: Three people died during that. Wow, taking saw you saw 477 00:28:01,720 --> 00:28:04,200 Speaker 1: actual violence from the commuty, the batons, the whole thing. 478 00:28:04,200 --> 00:28:07,720 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, No, I saw somebody jump from one of 479 00:28:07,760 --> 00:28:10,399 Speaker 1: the buildings onto the back of a policeman, broke his 480 00:28:10,520 --> 00:28:13,800 Speaker 1: back and he subsequently died in the hospital. So does 481 00:28:13,960 --> 00:28:18,399 Speaker 1: nineteen sixty eight, by the way, remind you now the 482 00:28:18,440 --> 00:28:21,720 Speaker 1: world that we're in now, Does that does that congruency 483 00:28:21,840 --> 00:28:25,320 Speaker 1: historically resonate for you or are they totally different in 484 00:28:25,359 --> 00:28:30,400 Speaker 1: your mind? Well, I think they're certainly parallels. Um. You know, 485 00:28:30,560 --> 00:28:37,119 Speaker 1: clearly we have a very far left, radicalized Democratic Party 486 00:28:37,160 --> 00:28:43,080 Speaker 1: now that is prone to violence and is using you know, 487 00:28:43,240 --> 00:28:48,920 Speaker 1: obviously Antifa and these other sort of you know, auxiliary 488 00:28:49,240 --> 00:28:54,560 Speaker 1: movements to enforce whatever ideas they're trying to enforce and 489 00:28:54,720 --> 00:28:59,680 Speaker 1: intimidate people. Um, so yeah, I look, I what what 490 00:29:00,440 --> 00:29:03,840 Speaker 1: people don't understand is how close we are always to 491 00:29:04,280 --> 00:29:08,080 Speaker 1: civil unrest. You know, it doesn't take much. You know, 492 00:29:08,720 --> 00:29:11,400 Speaker 1: a crowd of two or three hundred people that is 493 00:29:11,440 --> 00:29:15,200 Speaker 1: willing to go to jail or will willing to you know, 494 00:29:15,280 --> 00:29:19,360 Speaker 1: break and burn. It can be a formidable force. See, 495 00:29:19,360 --> 00:29:21,200 Speaker 1: we got, we got, we got anti communists here in 496 00:29:21,200 --> 00:29:23,360 Speaker 1: New York City, Claisna. We're gonna bring you back to 497 00:29:23,400 --> 00:29:24,840 Speaker 1: close it out and honor a father's day. And I 498 00:29:24,880 --> 00:29:26,720 Speaker 1: want to ask you a question here in a minute 499 00:29:26,720 --> 00:29:29,880 Speaker 1: when we come back, now that you're a grandfather, is 500 00:29:29,960 --> 00:29:32,280 Speaker 1: being a grandfather?

His name is Ryan 540 00:31:35,880 --> 00:31:40,000 Speaker 1: Mason Kumar and we call him Ray Ray the rock Star. 541 00:31:40,680 --> 00:31:44,760 Speaker 1: And uh, he's twenty months and has completely changed my life. Um, 542 00:31:45,640 --> 00:31:50,400 Speaker 1: you know, my perspective has gone from you know, just 543 00:31:50,560 --> 00:31:54,600 Speaker 1: worrying about retirement and health and those issues, and now 544 00:31:54,640 --> 00:31:56,600 Speaker 1: it's really a focus on I want to make sure 545 00:31:56,600 --> 00:32:00,680 Speaker 1: he has every opportunity that I can possibly vide him, 546 00:32:01,160 --> 00:32:04,640 Speaker 1: including with his parents of course, and um, you know, 547 00:32:04,720 --> 00:32:07,000 Speaker 1: just watching him grow up and spending time with him 548 00:32:07,080 --> 00:32:11,200 Speaker 1: is incredibly special. And you know, in some ways it's 549 00:32:11,240 --> 00:32:15,400 Speaker 1: better because I don't have the direct responsibility, but in 550 00:32:15,440 --> 00:32:19,040 Speaker 1: other ways, uh, you know, there's nothing like you know, 551 00:32:20,120 --> 00:32:24,200 Speaker 1: having having your own children, you know, and being a 552 00:32:24,440 --> 00:32:27,360 Speaker 1: hopefully a model of behavior. You guys are kind of 553 00:32:27,400 --> 00:32:30,000 Speaker 1: similar because you had the four of us dad by 554 00:32:30,040 --> 00:32:31,800 Speaker 1: the time when Doy you had us four when you 555 00:32:31,840 --> 00:32:35,240 Speaker 1: were what mid mid thirties, right thirty. I'm married your 556 00:32:35,320 --> 00:32:37,960 Speaker 1: mother when I was thirty and she was twenty, and 557 00:32:38,000 --> 00:32:43,480 Speaker 1: then by about forty three forty four, I think I 558 00:32:43,600 --> 00:32:45,640 Speaker 1: had four children, because Clay got married at twenty five. 559 00:32:45,680 --> 00:32:48,120 Speaker 1: He's got three kids. He's forty three. Yeah, I had 560 00:32:48,200 --> 00:32:50,480 Speaker 1: twenty eight, twenty eight years old as when I had 561 00:32:50,480 --> 00:32:52,080 Speaker 1: my first. So I've got a fourteen year old, the 562 00:32:52,080 --> 00:32:54,480 Speaker 1: eleven year old in the seven year old. Busy stuff. 563 00:32:54,640 --> 00:32:57,360 Speaker 1: We got Barney from Potkeepsie. He's actually got a question. 564 00:32:57,360 --> 00:32:59,240 Speaker 1: He called it on the lines. We had the Father's 565 00:32:59,280 --> 00:33:03,320 Speaker 1: Day line. Let's play missus Barney from the Kipsie. I 566 00:33:03,400 --> 00:33:07,040 Speaker 1: just wanted to know from Buck's dad, what were his 567 00:33:07,160 --> 00:33:12,120 Speaker 1: thoughts when Bucks joined the CIA. Well, that's a great question, 568 00:33:12,320 --> 00:33:17,320 Speaker 1: and obviously you have remember the time that he joined 569 00:33:17,320 --> 00:33:20,080 Speaker 1: the CI. It was after nine to eleven, and he 570 00:33:20,240 --> 00:33:24,320 Speaker 1: joined it to his credit as a you know, I 571 00:33:24,360 --> 00:33:27,600 Speaker 1: think a show of patriotism and concern for his country. 572 00:33:27,920 --> 00:33:30,960 Speaker 1: He had been studying Middle Eastern affairs and had some 573 00:33:31,080 --> 00:33:33,760 Speaker 1: knowledge of Arabic, so he was in some ways an 574 00:33:33,800 --> 00:33:39,239 Speaker 1: ideal candidate for the CIA. But you know when he 575 00:33:39,280 --> 00:33:41,680 Speaker 1: went away and said, Dad, I can't tell you where 576 00:33:41,680 --> 00:33:45,720 Speaker 1: we're going. It's top secret that that's a concern. And 577 00:33:46,080 --> 00:33:49,400 Speaker 1: when we found out, you know that it was we 578 00:33:49,520 --> 00:33:53,920 Speaker 1: obviously suspected it was Iraq and ultimately Afghanistan. I will 579 00:33:53,960 --> 00:33:58,560 Speaker 1: tell a quick story. There was an article in the 580 00:33:58,600 --> 00:34:03,120 Speaker 1: New York Times about the fact that five senior Al 581 00:34:03,200 --> 00:34:08,960 Speaker 1: Qaeda leaders had been liquidated in Moselle Um Mosel. I'm sorry, 582 00:34:09,239 --> 00:34:12,560 Speaker 1: and I had just had a feeling that Buck was involved, 583 00:34:12,960 --> 00:34:16,880 Speaker 1: and as it turned out, he can neither confirm nor deny, 584 00:34:17,200 --> 00:34:22,360 Speaker 1: but out show up here now is Dad spilled some 585 00:34:22,760 --> 00:34:28,440 Speaker 1: but some friends who were very badass door kicker folks, 586 00:34:28,440 --> 00:34:30,160 Speaker 1: I might have tried to help point them in the 587 00:34:30,200 --> 00:34:33,960 Speaker 1: general vicinity. Um anyway, So we were incredibly proud, of 588 00:34:33,960 --> 00:34:39,120 Speaker 1: course for buck service, and still are. Yeah, we we 589 00:34:39,200 --> 00:34:43,560 Speaker 1: have Thelma from Thelma from Seattle, and I don't want 590 00:34:43,560 --> 00:34:45,239 Speaker 1: to have Clay has got to throw a sports question 591 00:34:45,239 --> 00:34:48,040 Speaker 1: because just the sex he raised. He used to take me. 592 00:34:48,160 --> 00:34:50,359 Speaker 1: He took me to Giants games, took me to Knicks games, 593 00:34:51,160 --> 00:34:53,160 Speaker 1: you know, because I think this audience thinks like I 594 00:34:53,680 --> 00:34:56,319 Speaker 1: played the sports, I saw the sports. I still like 595 00:34:56,400 --> 00:34:58,479 Speaker 1: to play the sports. I'm just not I don't really 596 00:34:58,480 --> 00:35:00,920 Speaker 1: watch the professional leagues very much. Anyway. We'll get to 597 00:35:00,920 --> 00:35:03,960 Speaker 1: that a second. This is Thelma from Seattle. Let's play it. 598 00:35:04,040 --> 00:35:07,839 Speaker 1: This is Thelma from Seattle. I was just curious. The 599 00:35:07,840 --> 00:35:12,759 Speaker 1: Sexton family has some interesting names, Speed Buck, What are 600 00:35:12,800 --> 00:35:17,480 Speaker 1: the origins?
