1
00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:03,720
Speaker 1: Welcome back in Clay Travis buck Sexton show. Appreciate all

2
00:00:03,800 --> 00:00:07,960
Speaker 1: of you hanging out with us. The speaker vote is ongoing.

3
00:00:09,440 --> 00:00:13,480
Speaker 1: There is uncertainty as to whether Mike Johnson will get

4
00:00:13,520 --> 00:00:17,320
Speaker 1: the requisite number of votes in the first go around.

5
00:00:17,760 --> 00:00:21,400
Speaker 1: We know that Representative Thomas Massey of Kentucky is voting

6
00:00:21,440 --> 00:00:26,200
Speaker 1: against him. He can lose one other vote and still

7
00:00:26,200 --> 00:00:29,440
Speaker 1: be elected speaker on the first go around. Hikeem Jefferies

8
00:00:29,480 --> 00:00:33,120
Speaker 1: obviously standing on the Democrat side, he is their leader,

9
00:00:33,360 --> 00:00:37,720
Speaker 1: will be the minority leader in the House, and our

10
00:00:37,760 --> 00:00:40,599
Speaker 1: team is monitoring that vote. We will give you an

11
00:00:40,680 --> 00:00:44,680
Speaker 1: update on what exactly ends up happening there. Some of

12
00:00:44,720 --> 00:00:46,760
Speaker 1: you out there are saying, oh, I don't know why

13
00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:52,040
Speaker 1: you're getting Trump wants Mike Johnson to be speaker, and

14
00:00:52,120 --> 00:00:54,200
Speaker 1: some of you are like, well, he's not if Trump

15
00:00:54,280 --> 00:00:57,560
Speaker 1: wants Mike Johnson to be speaker and Trump has endorsed

16
00:00:57,600 --> 00:01:01,080
Speaker 1: Mike Johnson as speaker. When I was at Marlago recently

17
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:05,839
Speaker 1: talked to Trump and Mike Johnson. They had dinner together.

18
00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:09,039
Speaker 1: They get along well. In the same way that I

19
00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:12,720
Speaker 1: have told all of you I would be voting for

20
00:01:12,920 --> 00:01:16,760
Speaker 1: every cabinet nominee that Donald Trump put forward. If I

21
00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:21,800
Speaker 1: were a senator, Republican senator, because Trump won the election

22
00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:25,800
Speaker 1: and I believe Trump should get the cabinet that he wants.

23
00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:28,600
Speaker 1: Trump has said that he wants Mike Johnson as his

24
00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:31,480
Speaker 1: Speaker of the House. If I were a member of

25
00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:34,320
Speaker 1: the Republican majority in the House, I would vote.

26
00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:34,840
Speaker 2: For Mike Johnson.

27
00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:40,000
Speaker 1: And if Mike Johnson can't deliver the Republican House to

28
00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:47,480
Speaker 1: vote for Trump mandates and Trump ideas and bills, then

29
00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:51,320
Speaker 1: maybe Mike Johnson should be replaced. But Trump thinks he

30
00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:56,240
Speaker 1: is the guy to enact the Trump twenty twenty five agenda,

31
00:01:56,320 --> 00:01:56,960
Speaker 1: he should.

32
00:01:56,680 --> 00:01:58,000
Speaker 2: Be a choice.

33
00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:01,000
Speaker 1: I don't think this needs to be over complicated now.

34
00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:04,680
Speaker 1: I agree with Thomas Massey that we are spending way

35
00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:07,840
Speaker 1: too much money, and I agree with many of you

36
00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:11,720
Speaker 1: that the budget needs to be put in some context

37
00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:15,160
Speaker 1: and we can't continue to run these multi trillion dollar

38
00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:18,960
Speaker 1: budget deficits which we have created in the wake of COVID. Guys,

39
00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:24,000
Speaker 1: we spent more money fighting COVID as per capita and

40
00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:28,600
Speaker 1: on an inflation adjusted basis, than we did to win

41
00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:33,360
Speaker 1: World War Two. Think about that for a moment. It

42
00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:37,799
Speaker 1: doesn't get talked about enough. We spent more money on

43
00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:42,079
Speaker 1: COVID than to beat the Nazis and in the Imperial

44
00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:49,200
Speaker 1: Army of Japan in fighting World War Two. That's indefensible.

45
00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:56,680
Speaker 1: Our politicians failed us on COVID. By and large, there

46
00:02:56,680 --> 00:02:59,600
Speaker 1: were some success stories. Ron DeSantis and Florida did a

47
00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:04,920
Speaker 1: good job. Brian Kemp, governor of Georgia, good job. My

48
00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:08,840
Speaker 1: home state governor Bill Lee Tennessee, good job. They were

49
00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:13,280
Speaker 1: few and far between stalwarts who opened up the economy

50
00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:16,359
Speaker 1: and said, let people analyze risk as they see fit.

51
00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:16,960
Speaker 2: We got to have.

52
00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:20,600
Speaker 1: Schools open, There's no point to wear masks. They were

53
00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:23,440
Speaker 1: right on all of that. But by and large, our

54
00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:26,920
Speaker 1: national political leaders failed us on COVID.

55
00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:28,720
Speaker 2: As bad as.

56
00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:31,400
Speaker 1: That was, and we're coming up on the five year

57
00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:35,520
Speaker 1: anniversary of was it fifteen days? Fourteen days to stop

58
00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:39,680
Speaker 1: the spread? Remember that March of twenty twenty, coming up

59
00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:43,440
Speaker 1: on the five year anniversary of that. Okay, as bad

60
00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:47,400
Speaker 1: as all that was, what we have done is allowed

61
00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:52,080
Speaker 1: Democrats to embed the spending of COVID as the new

62
00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:56,560
Speaker 1: baseline budget going forward for the United States. In twenty nineteen,

63
00:03:58,240 --> 00:04:01,800
Speaker 1: our budget was about four and a half trillion dollars.

64
00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:04,240
Speaker 2: That's what we spent every year twenty nineteen.

65
00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:09,240
Speaker 1: COVID happens, and our spending skyrocketed because we treated it,

66
00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:13,040
Speaker 1: which we shouldn't have, like World War two, like we

67
00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:15,520
Speaker 1: were in a war, and we just threw money like

68
00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:20,800
Speaker 1: crazy at COVID. People are suddenly not able to work,

69
00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:22,800
Speaker 1: stay home, eat cheetos, watching Netflix.

70
00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:23,760
Speaker 2: That's what we told everybody.

71
00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:29,320
Speaker 1: Everybody got fatter, crime skyrocketed, no benefit at all to

72
00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:33,920
Speaker 1: our national health. We failed as a nation. We failed

73
00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:39,640
Speaker 1: frankly globally with COVID, but we still haven't dialed back

74
00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:45,280
Speaker 1: to spending. We allowed the COVID spending to be embedded

75
00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:48,800
Speaker 1: in our bills going forward. What was a four and

76
00:04:48,839 --> 00:04:53,359
Speaker 1: a half trillion dollar twenty nineteen budget is now roughly

77
00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:57,000
Speaker 1: a six and a half trillion dollar budget going forward.

78
00:04:57,400 --> 00:05:03,640
Speaker 1: We added trillions of dollars in spending, created massive budget deficits. Guys,

79
00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:10,520
Speaker 1: if we had just grown our budget at a rational level, Unfortunately,

80
00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:14,520
Speaker 1: inflation skyrocketed, so the inflated budget would have to be

81
00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:18,479
Speaker 1: adjusted based on that too, right, But if we had

82
00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:20,120
Speaker 1: just grown at a rational level, we would have a

83
00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:24,400
Speaker 1: balanced budget. If we could just go back to what

84
00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:26,680
Speaker 1: we were spending in twenty nineteen, the budget would be

85
00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:28,560
Speaker 1: balanced because we're bringing in more than four and a

86
00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:35,680
Speaker 1: half trillion dollars now of tax dollars and revenues. So

87
00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:38,960
Speaker 1: we've got to hit the ground running. And my perspective

88
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:43,280
Speaker 1: on this is I don't see how Republicans benefit by

89
00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:46,359
Speaker 1: fighting over who is going to be.

90
00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:50,080
Speaker 2: The Speaker of the House. So this is going on

91
00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:50,880
Speaker 2: in real time.

92
00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:53,880
Speaker 1: I'm hopeful that we are going to end up with

93
00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:59,160
Speaker 1: some form of resolution and that that is going to

94
00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:03,600
Speaker 1: be a pot positive outcome and a positive result. So

95
00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:06,360
Speaker 1: that is underway right now. I will continue to give

96
00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:08,880
Speaker 1: you the absolute latest on that. We have been talking

97
00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:13,320
Speaker 1: about the failure of All State CEO. By the way,

98
00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:17,480
Speaker 1: his name is Tom Wilson, the moron who said that

99
00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:21,600
Speaker 1: we needed to be dealing with everybody's imperfections in the

100
00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:24,080
Speaker 1: wake of a terror attack, and that we needed to

101
00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:27,800
Speaker 1: be less divisive and less negative. We should be super

102
00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:31,599
Speaker 1: positive about the terror attack. According to Tom Wilson, All

103
00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:36,159
Speaker 1: State CEO, sixteen million dollars he made last year to

104
00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:39,560
Speaker 1: act as the CEO of All State, And we're talking

105
00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:44,960
Speaker 1: about ESPN's refusal to actually show the national anthem and

106
00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:49,000
Speaker 1: the moment of silence and the running on the field

107
00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:56,359
Speaker 1: with the American flag, as everyone out there is doing

108
00:06:56,360 --> 00:06:58,920
Speaker 1: that with Notre Dame, and a lot of you are

109
00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:05,080
Speaker 1: weighing in and giving us a variety of different a

110
00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:08,240
Speaker 1: variety of different statements there eight hundred two two two

111
00:07:08,279 --> 00:07:11,520
Speaker 1: eight a two, And also a lot of people are

112
00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:13,520
Speaker 1: weighing in on Mike Johnson. Let me read some of that.

113
00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:17,840
Speaker 1: Rick says, if Republicans don't get behind Mike Johnson uh

114
00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:20,480
Speaker 1: and screw around trying to get a speaker, I'll be

115
00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:23,000
Speaker 1: done with the Republicans and never vote for them again.

116
00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:25,520
Speaker 1: I'll just let Democrats burn it all to the ground.

117
00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:27,960
Speaker 1: I you know, Rick, I think maybe just chill a

118
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:32,160
Speaker 1: little bit. I get the people more frustrated, and you

119
00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:36,160
Speaker 1: should be, because we've gone from a five trillion dollar

120
00:07:36,280 --> 00:07:40,320
Speaker 1: deficit in nineteen ninety eight to a thirty five trillion

121
00:07:40,400 --> 00:07:45,040
Speaker 1: dollar deficit in two thousand and twenty four. In the

122
00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:48,080
Speaker 1: entire two hundred plus year history of our nation, we

123
00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:52,120
Speaker 1: had built a five trillion dollar deficit. In the last

124
00:07:52,760 --> 00:07:56,720
Speaker 1: twenty six years we have added thirty trillion dollars to that.

125
00:07:57,680 --> 00:08:00,760
Speaker 1: So I get why you should be frustrated with politicians.

126
00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:00,920
Speaker 3: Now.

127
00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:03,800
Speaker 1: One of the reasons that politicians have done that is

128
00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:07,280
Speaker 1: because they're afraid of saying, hey, we can't spend as

129
00:08:07,360 --> 00:08:10,520
Speaker 1: much money as you would like, because everybody wants to

130
00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:13,560
Speaker 1: live in the era of magical thinking, where there are

131
00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:17,560
Speaker 1: no consequences to the increase of our budget, but you

132
00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:18,600
Speaker 1: feel the consequences.

133
00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:18,960
Speaker 2: They're real.

134
00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:22,160
Speaker 1: Do you know a dollar a dollar that you hold

135
00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:27,840
Speaker 1: in your hand today is worth eighty one cents compared

136
00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:30,480
Speaker 1: to a dollar that you held in your hand in

137
00:08:30,520 --> 00:08:34,800
Speaker 1: twenty twenty. That's what inflation has done. It has stripped

138
00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:39,520
Speaker 1: away twenty percent in four years, basically of the value

139
00:08:39,559 --> 00:08:41,880
Speaker 1: of the dollar. That's why you have to spend so

140
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:47,000
Speaker 1: much more money to get everything done. Ron says, as

141
00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:51,680
Speaker 1: an sec fan college football, not the Securities in Exchange Commission,

142
00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:55,720
Speaker 1: it pains me ESPN has the TV contract for the conference.

143
00:08:56,400 --> 00:08:58,800
Speaker 1: ESPN should be known as woke inc. I actually agree

144
00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:04,680
Speaker 1: with this. College football fans in general overwhelmingly voted for Trump,

145
00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:09,199
Speaker 1: but Southeastern Conference fans in particular, it's like seventy five

146
00:09:09,160 --> 00:09:12,640
Speaker 1: to twenty five Trump and the fact that the Southeastern

147
00:09:12,679 --> 00:09:17,760
Speaker 1: Conference football games air on ESPN is an unholy alliance

148
00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:23,559
Speaker 1: because a lot of ESPN employees hate the SEC fans

149
00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:27,040
Speaker 1: and the people who vote for Donald Trump. That's just

150
00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:31,120
Speaker 1: the reality, and so it doesn't actually make sense from

151
00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:36,040
Speaker 1: a cultural perspective that ESPN, many of whom employees hate

152
00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:40,240
Speaker 1: America and frankly do not like Americans coming together and

153
00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:44,240
Speaker 1: celebrating American exceptionalism or singing along to the national anthem

154
00:09:44,679 --> 00:09:46,280
Speaker 1: or cheering flyovers.

155
00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:50,640
Speaker 2: They hate it. Many ESPN employees do, not all, but many.

156
00:09:51,440 --> 00:09:54,120
Speaker 1: And so when they see it happen in the SEC,

157
00:09:54,440 --> 00:09:59,400
Speaker 1: they despise it. It's not a coincidence. Again, ESPN said, oh, hey,

158
00:09:59,800 --> 00:10:02,560
Speaker 1: we we had timing issues. That's why we couldn't show

159
00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:04,720
Speaker 1: the national anthem in the moment of silence and everybody

160
00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:07,720
Speaker 1: channing USA USA, and we couldn't show Notre Dame running

161
00:10:07,760 --> 00:10:09,320
Speaker 1: on the field. Do you know who did all that

162
00:10:09,679 --> 00:10:10,640
Speaker 1: with the American flag?

163
00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:11,120
Speaker 2: Notre Dame?

164
00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:16,199
Speaker 1: The SEC network. So hey, so the SEC network managed

165
00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:18,800
Speaker 1: to time it fine so that you could hear the

166
00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:22,319
Speaker 1: national anthem, so that you could hear the USA chant,

167
00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:24,920
Speaker 1: so that you could hear the moment of silence. But

168
00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:29,520
Speaker 1: ESPN didn't. That's interesting, isn't it, especially because I know

169
00:10:29,640 --> 00:10:34,080
Speaker 1: I do television. They control the clock. When you put

170
00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:36,360
Speaker 1: on a game, you control the clock. You know when

171
00:10:36,400 --> 00:10:40,000
Speaker 1: everything's going to happen. You can't blame the clock when

172
00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:44,400
Speaker 1: it's your event. Sometimes if you watch Fox News, or

173
00:10:44,440 --> 00:10:47,600
Speaker 1: you watch CNN, or you watch MSNBC, they don't control

174
00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:49,719
Speaker 1: the clock. On the Speaker vote, for instance, they got

175
00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:51,760
Speaker 1: to go to commercial breaks, They've got to go through everything.

176
00:10:51,800 --> 00:10:54,000
Speaker 1: I understand that. I know how television works. I know

177
00:10:54,080 --> 00:10:56,840
Speaker 1: our radio works. When you have the event to put on,

178
00:10:57,360 --> 00:11:00,720
Speaker 1: you control it all. You can't blame somebody else for

179
00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:06,200
Speaker 1: that Shenanigan and that failure. When we come back, I

180
00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:10,880
Speaker 1: want to play for you the reaction that you're seeing

181
00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:14,000
Speaker 1: from some Democrats. In fact, let me go ahead and well,

182
00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:15,880
Speaker 1: I'll play that for you when I come back. C

183
00:11:16,040 --> 00:11:20,000
Speaker 1: SPAN is covering the new Speaker January sixth. Obviously, we

184
00:11:20,040 --> 00:11:22,880
Speaker 1: will get the counting of the electoral votes, and effectively

185
00:11:22,920 --> 00:11:24,720
Speaker 1: we will have a new president, even though he won't

186
00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:28,000
Speaker 1: be sworn in until January twentieth, seventeen days from now,

187
00:11:28,040 --> 00:11:30,960
Speaker 1: but two weeks from Monday. But there are a lot

188
00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:33,360
Speaker 1: of Democrats out there that are saying, hey, you know what,

189
00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:38,480
Speaker 1: we can't accept this count we're going to protest the

190
00:11:38,520 --> 00:11:42,080
Speaker 1: same people who told you, oh, democracy doesn't allow you

191
00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:45,640
Speaker 1: to ever protest. Oh, this is a direct attack. January sixth,

192
00:11:45,679 --> 00:11:48,520
Speaker 1: Remember what they told us. January sixth is the worst

193
00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:52,040
Speaker 1: day for the nation since the Civil War. That's what

194
00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:55,000
Speaker 1: Biden and Kamala told us. Yeah, all those people, well

195
00:11:55,040 --> 00:11:57,160
Speaker 1: they're starting to have their voices heard. We'll talk about

196
00:11:57,200 --> 00:11:59,760
Speaker 1: that when we come back. But NFL Weekend priz picks

213
00:12:55,679 --> 00:12:58,680
Speaker 3: in Clay Travis buck Sexton Show.

214
00:12:58,840 --> 00:13:05,840
Speaker 1: Following in a long live speaker of the House race.

215
00:13:06,400 --> 00:13:11,480
Speaker 1: The vote is ongoing and we now have at least

216
00:13:11,559 --> 00:13:16,640
Speaker 1: one other Republican who has voted against Mike Johnson.

217
00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:19,400
Speaker 2: Now a bit of drama here.

218
00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:25,560
Speaker 1: Several Republicans have not voted, and so that can change

219
00:13:25,640 --> 00:13:28,880
Speaker 1: the taally on the numbers that you end up needing,

220
00:13:30,040 --> 00:13:32,960
Speaker 1: depending on how they come back. But the talk was

221
00:13:33,040 --> 00:13:37,120
Speaker 1: coming into this vote there would not be the ability

222
00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:41,720
Speaker 1: to lose more than one vote. So Ralph Norman has

223
00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:47,760
Speaker 1: voted for Jim Jordan. So we are going to at

224
00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:52,520
Speaker 1: least a second ballot. And I don't know, to be fair,

225
00:13:53,040 --> 00:13:56,120
Speaker 1: I don't know what the goal of those who are

226
00:13:56,200 --> 00:13:59,080
Speaker 1: voting against Mike Johnson is at this point in time.

227
00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:03,960
Speaker 1: Past to vote tallies, there have been demands, Hey, I

228
00:14:04,040 --> 00:14:08,240
Speaker 1: want this guy to be head of this committee, or

229
00:14:08,360 --> 00:14:11,760
Speaker 1: I want this rule to be in place, and they

230
00:14:11,800 --> 00:14:15,439
Speaker 1: go back and they renegotiate afterwards. So now we are

231
00:14:15,520 --> 00:14:19,480
Speaker 1: going to at least go to a second vote. By

232
00:14:19,480 --> 00:14:23,520
Speaker 1: the way, open up phone lines. Why would you vote

233
00:14:23,560 --> 00:14:29,880
Speaker 1: against I understand the idea of I'm unhappy, I don't

234
00:14:29,960 --> 00:14:32,800
Speaker 1: like this guy. I'm gonna throw a bit of a

235
00:14:32,840 --> 00:14:35,640
Speaker 1: fit and I'm not going to vote for him. But

236
00:14:35,760 --> 00:14:39,600
Speaker 1: anger is not a strategy. I mean, this is good

237
00:14:39,640 --> 00:14:43,760
Speaker 1: for life lessons in general. Being a toddler and throwing

238
00:14:43,800 --> 00:14:48,080
Speaker 1: a fit in general is not a strategy. Anger is

239
00:14:48,120 --> 00:14:51,040
Speaker 1: not a strategy. Anger is an emotion. It can lead

240
00:14:51,080 --> 00:14:55,680
Speaker 1: to a strategy, oftentimes has been. Franklin has said passion

241
00:14:55,760 --> 00:15:01,560
Speaker 1: doesn't lead to very rational choices. So my only statement

242
00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:04,760
Speaker 1: on this would be for those not supporting Mike Johnson,

243
00:15:05,400 --> 00:15:08,960
Speaker 1: Donald Trump has said, I want you to support Mike Johnson.

244
00:15:09,400 --> 00:15:13,160
Speaker 1: What is your goal in so doing? What are you

245
00:15:13,320 --> 00:15:17,040
Speaker 1: hoping to pull off here? As it pertains to that.

246
00:15:17,520 --> 00:15:21,360
Speaker 1: In the meantime, thank the Lord. At least Kamala Harris

247
00:15:21,560 --> 00:15:26,520
Speaker 1: isn't our president elect because she can't even say the

248
00:15:26,600 --> 00:15:29,000
Speaker 1: national She can't even say the Pledge of allegiance. This

249
00:15:29,040 --> 00:15:31,320
Speaker 1: is what happens when you take her off the teleprompter.

250
00:15:31,760 --> 00:15:34,240
Speaker 1: This was Kamala just a few moments ago, trying to

251
00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:36,000
Speaker 1: lead the Pledge of Allegiance.

252
00:15:35,880 --> 00:15:43,640
Speaker 5: Join me in pledging allegiance to our flag. Pledge allegiance

253
00:15:45,360 --> 00:15:47,240
Speaker 5: in the United States of America.

254
00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:53,440
Speaker 1: And two I'm sorry, I mean, what a perfect metaphor

255
00:15:54,320 --> 00:15:58,840
Speaker 1: for DEI advancement with no actual skill set to support

256
00:15:58,880 --> 00:16:01,400
Speaker 1: it can play? Tell you that again for those of

257
00:16:01,400 --> 00:16:04,360
Speaker 1: you who missed it. Kamala Harris, you take her off

258
00:16:04,360 --> 00:16:07,440
Speaker 1: the teleprompter, you have her do an interview. She just

259
00:16:07,520 --> 00:16:11,800
Speaker 1: can't even speak the pledge. Look, I'll admit I haven't

260
00:16:11,880 --> 00:16:16,320
Speaker 1: led the Pledge of Allegiance very much in recent years,

261
00:16:17,040 --> 00:16:20,200
Speaker 1: but in my schools anyway, we started off the day

262
00:16:20,240 --> 00:16:22,320
Speaker 1: with the Pledge of Allegiance. And if I knew I

263
00:16:22,400 --> 00:16:26,200
Speaker 1: was going to be leading the entire United States Congress

264
00:16:26,320 --> 00:16:29,440
Speaker 1: in the Pledge of Allegiance, I think I would actually

265
00:16:29,480 --> 00:16:32,480
Speaker 1: have managed to realize what I need to say. Here

266
00:16:32,560 --> 00:16:38,160
Speaker 1: is Kamala Harris, who came within what about two hundred

267
00:16:38,320 --> 00:16:41,720
Speaker 1: thousand votes ish, because yes, Trump won, But if you

268
00:16:41,760 --> 00:16:45,680
Speaker 1: go and look at the margin in Wisconsin, the margin

269
00:16:45,680 --> 00:16:49,040
Speaker 1: in Pennsylvania, and the margin in Michigan, I think it

270
00:16:49,160 --> 00:16:54,120
Speaker 1: was one twenty in Pennsylvania, one hundred and twenty thousand,

271
00:16:54,240 --> 00:16:59,840
Speaker 1: eighty thousand in in Michigan and thirty thousand in with

272
00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:03,000
Speaker 1: Wisconsin that Trump won by So Kamala Harris came within

273
00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:05,600
Speaker 1: about two hundred and thirty one thousand votes of being

274
00:17:05,600 --> 00:17:08,879
Speaker 1: elected president. Here she is leading the nation in the

275
00:17:08,920 --> 00:17:09,720
Speaker 1: Pledge of Allegiance.

276
00:17:10,080 --> 00:17:17,879
Speaker 5: Join me in pledging allegiance to our flag. Pledge Allegiance

277
00:17:18,280 --> 00:17:21,359
Speaker 5: to the United States of America.

278
00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:25,080
Speaker 1: Okay, she got the first three words. Right to be fair.

279
00:17:25,160 --> 00:17:28,159
Speaker 1: The All State CEO that more on Tom Wilson. He

280
00:17:28,200 --> 00:17:33,120
Speaker 1: said we needed less divisiveness and negativity. Everybody's imperfect. Kamala

281
00:17:33,200 --> 00:17:35,880
Speaker 1: did get the first three words of the pledge correct.

282
00:17:36,680 --> 00:17:39,439
Speaker 1: She got the I pledge, the I pledge allegiance. She

283
00:17:39,520 --> 00:17:42,639
Speaker 1: got that, and then she didn't know what came after it.

284
00:17:43,160 --> 00:17:45,160
Speaker 1: So to be fair, I don't want to be divisive.

285
00:17:45,480 --> 00:17:48,200
Speaker 1: To be fair to Kamala, she was capable of getting

286
00:17:48,200 --> 00:17:50,920
Speaker 1: the first three words correct without having to read off

287
00:17:50,960 --> 00:17:53,600
Speaker 1: of teleprompter. Look, I want to tell you I just

288
00:17:53,600 --> 00:17:55,080
Speaker 1: got back from Israel last month.

289
00:17:55,119 --> 00:17:56,040
Speaker 2: I was there, did the show.

290
00:17:56,080 --> 00:17:59,240
Speaker 1: From over there, our friends at the International Fellowship of

291
00:17:59,320 --> 00:18:02,440
Speaker 1: Christians and GUA who they're doing tremendous work. I saw

292
00:18:02,520 --> 00:18:06,440
Speaker 1: that they are providing bulletproof vehicles, they're providing meals, they

293
00:18:06,440 --> 00:18:10,159
Speaker 1: are providing bomb shelters. They are making it safer and

294
00:18:10,280 --> 00:18:12,560
Speaker 1: more secure for so many people over there living in

295
00:18:12,600 --> 00:18:15,320
Speaker 1: peril because of what's being done to them by terrorists.

296
00:18:15,640 --> 00:18:18,120
Speaker 1: The same terrorists, by the way, who were trying to

297
00:18:18,280 --> 00:18:21,399
Speaker 1: destroy Israel are also trying to destroy America. We just

298
00:18:21,440 --> 00:18:24,800
Speaker 1: saw it happen in New Orleans and in Israel, where

299
00:18:24,800 --> 00:18:28,840
Speaker 1: they're constantly under terror attack, where missiles are constantly raining down.

300
00:18:29,359 --> 00:18:33,280
Speaker 1: They do incredible work the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews.

301
00:18:33,400 --> 00:18:35,679
Speaker 2: I saw it myself. I am a donor.

302
00:18:35,800 --> 00:18:40,440
Speaker 1: I encourage you to donate as well at SUPPORTIFCJ dot org.

303
00:18:40,520 --> 00:18:43,879
Speaker 1: Start off twenty twenty five by trying to help the

304
00:18:43,920 --> 00:18:48,520
Speaker 1: people of Israel. At SUPPORTIFCJ dot org. Welcome back in

305
00:18:48,600 --> 00:18:54,080
Speaker 1: Clay Travis buck Sexton Show. Update on the ongoing speaker vote.

306
00:18:54,480 --> 00:18:58,120
Speaker 1: There are now three Republicans that have voted against Mike Johnson.

307
00:18:58,320 --> 00:19:02,120
Speaker 1: Several have remained silent. To be fair, at the very

308
00:19:02,359 --> 00:19:05,919
Speaker 1: end of the vote, there can be a switch in

309
00:19:05,960 --> 00:19:09,280
Speaker 1: the vote. So it's not one hundred percent guaranteed that

310
00:19:09,320 --> 00:19:11,840
Speaker 1: it's going to go to a second ballot, but that

311
00:19:12,080 --> 00:19:16,160
Speaker 1: is likely. Where we are headed. This is what CNN

312
00:19:16,280 --> 00:19:18,000
Speaker 1: was saying. Well, let me play a couple of these things.

313
00:19:18,359 --> 00:19:21,760
Speaker 1: Mike Johnson said, I didn't make a deal for a vote.

314
00:19:21,800 --> 00:19:25,199
Speaker 1: This was him before the first round. And again, to

315
00:19:25,240 --> 00:19:27,879
Speaker 1: my knowledge, I don't know that any of the people

316
00:19:27,880 --> 00:19:31,320
Speaker 1: that are voting against Mike Johnson have said what would

317
00:19:31,359 --> 00:19:34,199
Speaker 1: need to change for them to support Mike Johnson. And

318
00:19:34,280 --> 00:19:36,919
Speaker 1: for those of you out there that believe there may

319
00:19:36,920 --> 00:19:39,560
Speaker 1: be some of you that there should be another speaker,

320
00:19:40,880 --> 00:19:43,040
Speaker 1: no one else has as many votes as Mike Johnson

321
00:19:43,080 --> 00:19:45,959
Speaker 1: has right now. So this is a bit of a

322
00:19:46,040 --> 00:19:49,960
Speaker 1: cluster because given the fact that it is a small majority,

323
00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:53,359
Speaker 1: that doesn't take very many people to derail the entire

324
00:19:53,440 --> 00:19:57,040
Speaker 1: process of selecting a speaker. But here was Mike Johnson

325
00:19:57,080 --> 00:19:58,760
Speaker 1: before the first vote. Listen to him.

326
00:19:58,920 --> 00:20:01,000
Speaker 4: I don't make deals with anyth There's no quick pro

327
00:20:01,119 --> 00:20:01,680
Speaker 4: bowl here.

328
00:20:02,040 --> 00:20:04,000
Speaker 3: I don't do anything in exchange for a vote other

329
00:20:04,040 --> 00:20:07,000
Speaker 3: than commit to make this institution work as effectively and

330
00:20:07,040 --> 00:20:08,240
Speaker 3: efficiently as possible.

331
00:20:09,280 --> 00:20:12,840
Speaker 1: Okay, so that is the take as we break down that.

332
00:20:13,640 --> 00:20:17,679
Speaker 1: Also here was Harry Inton, who I believe is is

333
00:20:17,680 --> 00:20:19,359
Speaker 1: he CNN's data analyst.

334
00:20:19,440 --> 00:20:20,800
Speaker 2: I can ever keep up with these guys.

335
00:20:20,840 --> 00:20:24,200
Speaker 1: Is he NBC's or CNNs anyway, he's the data guru,

336
00:20:24,359 --> 00:20:27,439
Speaker 1: basically saying, hey, here's the math on this. There just

337
00:20:27,560 --> 00:20:31,399
Speaker 1: isn't very much that has to occur in order for

338
00:20:31,440 --> 00:20:32,760
Speaker 1: a speaker not to be elected.

339
00:20:32,800 --> 00:20:33,480
Speaker 2: Here's scut two.

340
00:20:33,880 --> 00:20:36,719
Speaker 6: I feel like it's deja vu all over again when

341
00:20:36,760 --> 00:20:38,200
Speaker 6: it comes to these speaker races.

342
00:20:38,320 --> 00:20:39,760
Speaker 2: Look, this is the simple math.

343
00:20:39,880 --> 00:20:43,679
Speaker 6: Right, GOP reps can sink Johnson's speaker bit In scenario one,

344
00:20:44,119 --> 00:20:47,119
Speaker 6: if just to vote against him, If just two Republican

345
00:20:47,160 --> 00:20:49,840
Speaker 6: representatives vote against him, assuming of course, four hundred and

346
00:20:49,880 --> 00:20:52,080
Speaker 6: thirty four members vote and no Democrats vote for Johnson,

347
00:20:52,080 --> 00:20:54,600
Speaker 6: which is what we expect, If just two Republicans vote

348
00:20:54,600 --> 00:20:57,720
Speaker 6: against him, he doesn't win the speakership. How about scenario two?

349
00:20:58,000 --> 00:21:01,119
Speaker 6: If one votes against him and then Ullip stain Ie

350
00:21:01,359 --> 00:21:04,879
Speaker 6: vote present, then that two would deny Johnson the speakership.

351
00:21:04,960 --> 00:21:05,800
Speaker 2: But here's the key thing.

352
00:21:05,960 --> 00:21:07,800
Speaker 6: Just because he loses on the first ballot doesn't mean

353
00:21:07,800 --> 00:21:09,520
Speaker 6: he wont went on the second ballot, third ballot, fourth

354
00:21:09,560 --> 00:21:12,040
Speaker 6: ballo Acceller at some point that Johnson wins.

355
00:21:12,240 --> 00:21:13,080
Speaker 2: It's ninety percent.

356
00:21:13,119 --> 00:21:15,440
Speaker 6: Now again that's not one hundred percent, but it's far

357
00:21:15,480 --> 00:21:16,200
Speaker 6: more likely than.

358
00:21:16,200 --> 00:21:20,360
Speaker 1: Not sp So I mean again, the data would reflect

359
00:21:20,359 --> 00:21:22,280
Speaker 1: and I like to go in, you guys know, to

360
00:21:22,720 --> 00:21:26,320
Speaker 1: the prediction markets, and the prediction markets are basically saying

361
00:21:26,480 --> 00:21:30,080
Speaker 1: Mike Johnson is going to be the Speaker of the

362
00:21:30,119 --> 00:21:33,960
Speaker 1: House by a huge by a huge margin out there.

363
00:21:34,440 --> 00:21:38,919
Speaker 1: And if that ends up being the case, then again

364
00:21:39,119 --> 00:21:42,640
Speaker 1: I circle back to what has actually been gained by

365
00:21:42,680 --> 00:21:45,960
Speaker 1: the process of being opposed to him.

366
00:21:46,040 --> 00:21:47,600
Speaker 2: Right now, there's.

367
00:21:47,400 --> 00:21:51,560
Speaker 1: Been one hundred and eighty eight million dollars wager Mike

368
00:21:51,640 --> 00:21:55,560
Speaker 1: Johnson ninety one percent chance that he is going to

369
00:21:55,600 --> 00:21:58,720
Speaker 1: be Speaker of the House, and the odds are actually

370
00:21:58,800 --> 00:22:02,840
Speaker 1: going up as we speak. There's nobody else really even

371
00:22:02,880 --> 00:22:07,240
Speaker 1: in the mix. Steve Scalise and Tom Emmer are who

372
00:22:07,240 --> 00:22:10,960
Speaker 1: are two other Republican congress people. Tom Emmer has gotten

373
00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:13,879
Speaker 1: one vote. I believe Jim Jordan's gotten a vote. But

374
00:22:14,400 --> 00:22:17,119
Speaker 1: really there is not a lot of drama here. And

375
00:22:17,520 --> 00:22:21,200
Speaker 1: I just circle back around to what is the goal here?

376
00:22:22,040 --> 00:22:25,760
Speaker 1: To me, the goal is you elected Donald Trump. The

377
00:22:25,840 --> 00:22:28,800
Speaker 1: goal is to get in line and execute his agenda.

378
00:22:28,920 --> 00:22:31,119
Speaker 1: Because remember, and this is so important, and Buck and

379
00:22:31,160 --> 00:22:32,720
Speaker 1: I are going to be slamming at home.

380
00:22:33,320 --> 00:22:35,080
Speaker 2: You really only get about a year.

381
00:22:36,119 --> 00:22:40,359
Speaker 1: That's the reality because as soon as twenty twenty five

382
00:22:40,480 --> 00:22:43,679
Speaker 1: is over. First of all, it doesn't take very many

383
00:22:43,800 --> 00:22:47,800
Speaker 1: vacancies to flip control, particularly in the House. There are

384
00:22:47,800 --> 00:22:50,239
Speaker 1: a lot of elderly people. I hate to say it,

385
00:22:50,840 --> 00:22:53,520
Speaker 1: but you have seen it happen, whether it's Diane Feinstein,

386
00:22:53,760 --> 00:22:56,879
Speaker 1: whether it's Mitch McConnell. There are a lot of health

387
00:22:56,960 --> 00:23:00,040
Speaker 1: related issues that can arise. Those are both on the

388
00:22:59,880 --> 00:23:02,439
Speaker 1: Senate side, but there's even more that that can happen

389
00:23:02,480 --> 00:23:05,240
Speaker 1: on the House side. Nancy Pelosi said she's going to

390
00:23:05,280 --> 00:23:09,280
Speaker 1: bring San Francisco values back to the capital in her

391
00:23:09,359 --> 00:23:12,040
Speaker 1: big statement as she hopped on a flight from her

392
00:23:12,400 --> 00:23:15,679
Speaker 1: multimillion dollar mansion to fly back to Washington, d C.

393
00:23:15,840 --> 00:23:20,120
Speaker 1: From San Francisco. And so it doesn't take very much

394
00:23:20,160 --> 00:23:23,719
Speaker 1: movement in order for a majority to be derailed. And

395
00:23:24,119 --> 00:23:27,560
Speaker 1: once you're through twenty twenty five, twenty twenty six is

396
00:23:27,560 --> 00:23:28,360
Speaker 1: an election year.

397
00:23:29,040 --> 00:23:30,520
Speaker 2: And yes, you may be able to get.

398
00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:34,240
Speaker 1: A little bit through in twenty twenty six, but by

399
00:23:34,280 --> 00:23:36,639
Speaker 1: the time you get to May, by the time you

400
00:23:36,680 --> 00:23:41,160
Speaker 1: get to June, it's already into the twenty twenty six

401
00:23:41,240 --> 00:23:44,520
Speaker 1: election cycle, and Democrats are going to be optimistic that

402
00:23:44,560 --> 00:23:45,480
Speaker 1: they're going to take back.

403
00:23:45,359 --> 00:23:46,119
Speaker 2: Control of the House.

404
00:23:46,720 --> 00:23:48,800
Speaker 1: And if they take back control of the House, they're

405
00:23:48,840 --> 00:23:51,280
Speaker 1: not going to pass anything with Trump for the next

406
00:23:51,320 --> 00:23:53,040
Speaker 1: couple of years, and it's going to be on to

407
00:23:53,119 --> 00:23:55,199
Speaker 1: twenty twenty seven and twenty twenty eight. Why do I

408
00:23:55,200 --> 00:23:57,399
Speaker 1: tell all you that that's the raw politics of what

409
00:23:57,480 --> 00:24:02,960
Speaker 1: we're dealing with, and so you must take advantage of

410
00:24:03,200 --> 00:24:07,200
Speaker 1: power while you have power, and all of the fighting

411
00:24:07,320 --> 00:24:13,680
Speaker 1: internally is just a distraction that dilutes and creates drama

412
00:24:14,800 --> 00:24:20,119
Speaker 1: and keeps Trump from implementing his agenda. And so if you,

413
00:24:20,320 --> 00:24:23,720
Speaker 1: like me, voted for Donald Trump, I think you should

414
00:24:23,760 --> 00:24:27,480
Speaker 1: be supporting Mike Johnson for Speaker. That's who Trump wants,

415
00:24:28,320 --> 00:24:31,160
Speaker 1: is who Trump has endorsed. And just as I told

416
00:24:31,240 --> 00:24:33,760
Speaker 1: all of you that if I were in the Senate,

417
00:24:34,320 --> 00:24:36,959
Speaker 1: I would advise and consent, and that advice and consent

418
00:24:36,960 --> 00:24:39,560
Speaker 1: would mean that I would meet with everybody that Trump nominates,

419
00:24:39,920 --> 00:24:41,879
Speaker 1: but I would go forward and vote for all.

420
00:24:41,760 --> 00:24:43,080
Speaker 2: Of Trump's cabinet nominees.

421
00:24:43,240 --> 00:24:46,639
Speaker 1: Because one thing Barack Obama got right, as elections have consequences,

422
00:24:46,960 --> 00:24:49,439
Speaker 1: and if that is true, then you have to go

423
00:24:49,520 --> 00:24:53,200
Speaker 1: out and you have to support in my opinion, Trump's

424
00:24:53,520 --> 00:24:57,840
Speaker 1: suggestions we come back, I want to talk a little

425
00:24:57,840 --> 00:25:02,119
Speaker 1: bit about this pipe bomb. We've already got her scheduled

426
00:25:02,240 --> 00:25:04,520
Speaker 1: on January sixth. We want to bring on our friend

427
00:25:04,600 --> 00:25:07,119
Speaker 1: Julie Kelly, who's been covering the plight of the January

428
00:25:07,160 --> 00:25:11,000
Speaker 1: sixth political prisoners and the continued focus of the FBI

429
00:25:11,080 --> 00:25:15,119
Speaker 1: Department of Justice on rounding up everybody who trespassed inside

430
00:25:15,119 --> 00:25:17,879
Speaker 1: of the Capitol on that day, often unfortunately, at the

431
00:25:17,880 --> 00:25:21,520
Speaker 1: exclusion of actually prosecuting true violent criminals. We're going to

432
00:25:21,560 --> 00:25:24,399
Speaker 1: talk about Julie Kelly with that because it's gonna be

433
00:25:24,440 --> 00:25:26,000
Speaker 1: the four year anniversary of that day.

434
00:25:26,400 --> 00:25:28,760
Speaker 2: But did you see the videos?

435
00:25:29,320 --> 00:25:34,879
Speaker 1: They have released videos of the alleged pipe bomber that

436
00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:38,800
Speaker 1: supposedly put a pipe bomb outside of the DNC and

437
00:25:38,880 --> 00:25:42,359
Speaker 1: outside of the RNC. These videos haven't been released for

438
00:25:42,440 --> 00:25:47,200
Speaker 1: four years. Why is the FBI suddenly four years later

439
00:25:47,760 --> 00:25:51,359
Speaker 1: releasing these videos, and why in the world, if they

440
00:25:51,400 --> 00:25:55,440
Speaker 1: are maniacally focused on trying to prosecute people who committed

441
00:25:55,440 --> 00:25:59,800
Speaker 1: crimes on January sixth, have they been unable to actually

442
00:25:59,840 --> 00:26:04,040
Speaker 1: try backed down this alleged pipe bomber who would have

443
00:26:04,119 --> 00:26:08,760
Speaker 1: been far more dangerous than anyone almost anyone at all

444
00:26:09,080 --> 00:26:13,040
Speaker 1: who was involved in January sixth. What's going on here

445
00:26:13,119 --> 00:26:15,840
Speaker 1: and why did the FBI decide to release this information

446
00:26:16,400 --> 00:26:20,919
Speaker 1: right as the attack happened in New Orleans. Basically doesn't

447
00:26:20,960 --> 00:26:22,600
Speaker 1: add up. We're going to talk about it when we

448
00:26:22,640 --> 00:26:26,560
Speaker 1: come back. Also, my friend Tommy Laren works with me

449
00:26:26,600 --> 00:26:29,560
Speaker 1: at out Kicks, scheduled to join us in the third hour.

450
00:26:29,720 --> 00:26:32,600
Speaker 1: So that is where we are going as we roll

451
00:26:32,680 --> 00:26:36,320
Speaker 1: through the Friday edition of the program. Reminder, Buck is

452
00:26:36,359 --> 00:26:39,199
Speaker 1: out away on the baby moon. They are having a

453
00:26:39,200 --> 00:26:43,320
Speaker 1: baby he and his wife Carrie in April, and so

454
00:26:43,400 --> 00:26:46,320
Speaker 1: they are out. He will be back with me on Monday,

455
00:26:46,720 --> 00:26:49,920
Speaker 1: and we'll be back off and running on jan sixth,

456
00:26:50,119 --> 00:26:52,679
Speaker 1: both of us together to start the new year. But

457
00:26:52,720 --> 00:26:55,880
Speaker 1: you got me today and you had me yesterday solo.

458
00:26:56,520 --> 00:27:00,240
Speaker 1: But Buck is actually a crack shot, And we were

459
00:27:00,280 --> 00:27:03,600
Speaker 1: joking about this. Every time he posts a video Buck

460
00:27:03,680 --> 00:27:07,800
Speaker 1: does of his shooting. It's like every person on the

461
00:27:07,800 --> 00:27:10,639
Speaker 1: internet is an expert on shooting. And I was actually

462
00:27:10,760 --> 00:27:13,160
Speaker 1: joking about this with my wife last night. Every time

463
00:27:13,200 --> 00:27:16,280
Speaker 1: I've post a photo, it doesn't matter what I'm wearing

464
00:27:16,560 --> 00:27:21,760
Speaker 1: on the photo. People tell the exact opposite suggestions on

465
00:27:21,800 --> 00:27:25,520
Speaker 1: social media. If I am wearing a belt with my pants,

466
00:27:25,840 --> 00:27:27,800
Speaker 1: people say, hey, you don't need a.

467
00:27:27,720 --> 00:27:28,919
Speaker 2: Belt with those pants.

468
00:27:29,320 --> 00:27:32,080
Speaker 1: If I wear a belt with If I wear pants

469
00:27:32,080 --> 00:27:34,240
Speaker 1: without a belt, you say, oh, why do you not

470
00:27:34,320 --> 00:27:36,280
Speaker 1: have a belt. Why do you have brown shoes? You

471
00:27:36,280 --> 00:27:38,160
Speaker 1: should have black shoes. Why do you have black shoes?

472
00:27:38,160 --> 00:27:40,880
Speaker 1: You should have brown shoes. Everybody's a critic on the internet.

473
00:27:41,520 --> 00:27:44,040
Speaker 1: One thing you can do not focus on what people

474
00:27:44,080 --> 00:27:46,880
Speaker 1: are saying on the internet. Go out and spend your

475
00:27:47,000 --> 00:27:51,080
Speaker 1: twenty twenty five focused on trying to get better at something,

476
00:27:51,400 --> 00:27:55,440
Speaker 1: whether it's shooting, whether it's better shape, whatever it might be.

477
00:27:55,560 --> 00:27:57,320
Speaker 1: One thing that a lot of you are going to do.

501
00:29:17,840 --> 00:29:19,640
Speaker 1: of you hanging out with us. I'm talking about the

502
00:29:19,720 --> 00:29:23,920
Speaker 1: curious decision to suddenly release video of the alleged pipe

503
00:29:23,960 --> 00:29:27,800
Speaker 1: bomber four years later and why the FBI can't catch him,

504
00:29:28,280 --> 00:29:32,440
Speaker 1: but Sue from Upstate New York called in She says

505
00:29:32,560 --> 00:29:37,440
Speaker 1: her husband played in the Sugar Bowl in nineteen thirty five?

506
00:29:37,640 --> 00:29:38,640
Speaker 2: Is that right, Sue?

507
00:29:39,600 --> 00:29:40,120
Speaker 7: That's right?

508
00:29:41,320 --> 00:29:42,400
Speaker 2: So what year?

509
00:29:42,520 --> 00:29:46,520
Speaker 1: What you who played nineteen thirty five? Who played in

510
00:29:46,560 --> 00:29:48,560
Speaker 1: the nineteen thirty five Sugar Bowl?

511
00:29:49,480 --> 00:29:51,800
Speaker 7: Yep? He was a running back?

512
00:29:52,720 --> 00:29:54,720
Speaker 2: Yeah? But who were the teams? What was the matchup?

513
00:29:56,200 --> 00:29:57,240
Speaker 7: I'm sorry I didn't get this.

514
00:29:58,560 --> 00:30:00,240
Speaker 2: Who were the teams? Do you know who did he

515
00:30:00,280 --> 00:30:02,240
Speaker 2: play for? Who played in the nineteen.

516
00:30:02,160 --> 00:30:04,360
Speaker 7: For Temple University Underpop Borner?

517
00:30:05,120 --> 00:30:06,160
Speaker 2: Oh, that's pretty awesome.

518
00:30:06,280 --> 00:30:10,440
Speaker 7: They played tem Temple played Kulan. I don't know much

519
00:30:10,440 --> 00:30:14,480
Speaker 7: of the detail because I was pretty young then. I

520
00:30:14,520 --> 00:30:19,160
Speaker 7: didn't know him then. How old? Much later in life?

521
00:30:19,600 --> 00:30:20,520
Speaker 2: How old are you?

522
00:30:20,600 --> 00:30:23,560
Speaker 1: Because if he played in nineteen thirty five, he would

523
00:30:23,560 --> 00:30:26,480
Speaker 1: have had to be born around nineteen fifteen.

524
00:30:26,160 --> 00:30:30,000
Speaker 7: Right, I was born in nineteen thirty.

525
00:30:30,240 --> 00:30:33,200
Speaker 2: Okay, well you he was born in Nice.

526
00:30:33,360 --> 00:30:35,120
Speaker 7: He was born in nineteen fifteen.

527
00:30:35,680 --> 00:30:37,280
Speaker 2: Okay, that makes it, and that makes sense.

528
00:30:37,280 --> 00:30:39,239
Speaker 1: So you were born in nineteen thirty so you are

529
00:30:39,320 --> 00:30:41,600
Speaker 1: le me do the math here about ninety four years old?

530
00:30:41,680 --> 00:30:42,200
Speaker 8: I was?

531
00:30:42,600 --> 00:30:42,800
Speaker 6: Yes?

532
00:30:42,880 --> 00:30:44,000
Speaker 7: I was his second wife.

533
00:30:44,040 --> 00:30:46,640
Speaker 1: Yes, okay, So how long have you been listening to

534
00:30:46,720 --> 00:30:50,200
Speaker 1: the program?

535
00:30:50,640 --> 00:30:54,200
Speaker 7: A long time. Let's put it that way, because I

536
00:30:54,240 --> 00:30:55,560
Speaker 7: always listened to Rush.

537
00:30:56,040 --> 00:30:58,640
Speaker 1: Well, we appreciate that. We appreciate you staying with us.

538
00:30:58,760 --> 00:31:03,200
Speaker 1: What advice you're ninety four years young? It's twenty twenty five.

539
00:31:03,400 --> 00:31:06,000
Speaker 1: What advice you're you're older. You got a lot more

540
00:31:06,040 --> 00:31:09,000
Speaker 1: wisdom than most of the people out there listening to us.

541
00:31:09,000 --> 00:31:11,400
Speaker 1: That's awesome that your husband played in nineteen thirty five

542
00:31:11,440 --> 00:31:14,200
Speaker 1: sugar Bowl. I appreciate you calling in. What advice would

543
00:31:14,240 --> 00:31:17,840
Speaker 1: you give for us, the younger whipper snappers out there

544
00:31:18,080 --> 00:31:20,800
Speaker 1: that you have gleaned over your ninety four years so far?

545
00:31:24,280 --> 00:31:30,880
Speaker 7: We patient listen and don't be afraid to ask questions.

546
00:31:32,240 --> 00:31:34,480
Speaker 1: Those are all really good advices. What about you were

547
00:31:34,520 --> 00:31:37,280
Speaker 1: married for a while? What relationship advice would you give?

548
00:31:37,720 --> 00:31:41,920
Speaker 7: Yeah, it was nearly thirty five years. As I said,

549
00:31:41,960 --> 00:31:47,880
Speaker 7: I was his second boife. He came to Syracuse from Lebanon, Pennsylvania.

550
00:31:48,520 --> 00:31:50,920
Speaker 7: He served in the Second World War.

551
00:31:53,040 --> 00:31:53,800
Speaker 2: It's remarkable.

552
00:31:53,880 --> 00:31:56,560
Speaker 7: I mean he was older than he was, fourteen years

553
00:31:56,560 --> 00:31:57,200
Speaker 7: older than me.

554
00:31:58,040 --> 00:32:00,080
Speaker 2: Yes, Ron home guy.

555
00:32:00,080 --> 00:32:03,720
Speaker 7: Wonderful guy. He resigned from the He was a mayor

556
00:32:03,760 --> 00:32:07,040
Speaker 7: of Lebanon, Pennsylvania, and he resigned to take a job here.

557
00:32:07,120 --> 00:32:07,920
Speaker 7: In Syracuse.

558
00:32:08,760 --> 00:32:11,920
Speaker 1: Oh, that's fantastic. Well, I've heard Syracuse is an awesome.

559
00:32:11,560 --> 00:32:15,080
Speaker 7: Place, Mattie, best thing I ever did.

560
00:32:16,800 --> 00:32:19,040
Speaker 1: Well, thank you for calling in, honoring his memory and

561
00:32:19,120 --> 00:32:20,920
Speaker 1: letting us know. It's cool to hear from somebody who

562
00:32:20,920 --> 00:32:22,960
Speaker 1: almost one hundred years ago played in a football game

563
00:32:23,040 --> 00:32:27,800
Speaker 1: that big. But you said Tulane against Temple. I didn't

564
00:32:27,840 --> 00:32:29,760
Speaker 1: know that, but that is fantastic. Thank you for calling in,

565
00:32:29,840 --> 00:32:36,080
Speaker 1: and thank you for listening. That's pretty great. Ninety four

566
00:32:36,160 --> 00:32:39,240
Speaker 1: years old listening to the show for a while, didn't

567
00:32:39,240 --> 00:32:41,080
Speaker 1: expect to hear from somebody who played in a Sugar

568
00:32:41,120 --> 00:32:43,840
Speaker 1: Bowl that long ago, was married to a man who did.

569
00:32:43,880 --> 00:32:45,200
Speaker 1: We got a lot of calls, by the way. Let

570
00:32:45,240 --> 00:32:46,920
Speaker 1: me hit some of these calls as we finish up,

571
00:32:46,960 --> 00:32:49,120
Speaker 1: and I'll come back and talk more about the pipe

572
00:32:49,120 --> 00:32:52,720
Speaker 1: bomb related situation, because I do think that is a

573
00:32:52,880 --> 00:32:56,720
Speaker 1: significant dave in Logan, Utah's the speaker race is going on.

574
00:32:57,320 --> 00:33:00,880
Speaker 9: What do you think, Hey, guys, thanks for all you do.

575
00:33:01,200 --> 00:33:04,600
Speaker 9: I wanted to just say that it has to be

576
00:33:04,720 --> 00:33:09,040
Speaker 9: Mike Johnson for speaker. I mean, he will do what

577
00:33:09,480 --> 00:33:11,480
Speaker 9: Donald Trump needs him to do, and I think that

578
00:33:12,040 --> 00:33:15,080
Speaker 9: anybody else has thrown their hat in the ring is

579
00:33:15,240 --> 00:33:18,040
Speaker 9: just detracting from that, and they're trying to seek their

580
00:33:18,080 --> 00:33:21,520
Speaker 9: own glory, and most likely we'll do you know, we'll

581
00:33:21,560 --> 00:33:24,960
Speaker 9: be trying to be a maverick or you know, a

582
00:33:25,040 --> 00:33:28,280
Speaker 9: counter to Trump rather than working with Trump. So it's

583
00:33:28,320 --> 00:33:30,400
Speaker 9: got to be Mike Johnson, and that's the obvious choice.

584
00:33:32,160 --> 00:33:34,760
Speaker 1: Look, I think it has to be Mike Johnson as well.

585
00:33:34,840 --> 00:33:37,040
Speaker 1: I haven't heard a better suggestion of why it should

586
00:33:37,080 --> 00:33:39,440
Speaker 1: be someone else. And like I said, more importantly, I

587
00:33:39,520 --> 00:33:42,560
Speaker 1: haven't heard what And there are three There are three

588
00:33:42,640 --> 00:33:46,080
Speaker 1: holdouts right now in the Republicans. There can only be two,

589
00:33:46,240 --> 00:33:48,160
Speaker 1: so it's not like there's a lot of leeway here.

590
00:33:48,440 --> 00:33:52,680
Speaker 1: I haven't heard what their demand is going forward. Jim

591
00:33:52,760 --> 00:33:57,280
Speaker 1: and Florida. What you got for us?

592
00:33:58,960 --> 00:34:02,160
Speaker 2: I mean, he k, I'm doing fantastic. How are you?

593
00:34:03,120 --> 00:34:03,440
Speaker 8: Fine?

594
00:34:03,840 --> 00:34:05,160
Speaker 9: Well, let's just get right to it.

595
00:34:05,200 --> 00:34:07,920
Speaker 8: You know, when it comes to insurance, you can switch

596
00:34:07,920 --> 00:34:10,520
Speaker 8: to any insurance company you want for your automobile.

597
00:34:10,800 --> 00:34:13,520
Speaker 9: When it comes to the television.

598
00:34:13,040 --> 00:34:16,240
Speaker 8: CBS, NBC, ABC, you could change the channel to Fox.

599
00:34:16,719 --> 00:34:18,600
Speaker 8: We got to get ourselves in a position in this

600
00:34:18,719 --> 00:34:23,160
Speaker 8: country where we could turn the channel off ESPN and fine,

601
00:34:23,560 --> 00:34:25,680
Speaker 8: I don't care. Like I told the guy that took

602
00:34:25,719 --> 00:34:28,080
Speaker 8: my call, I said, I want to invest in I

603
00:34:28,080 --> 00:34:29,839
Speaker 8: don't care how much I have to invest in it

604
00:34:29,920 --> 00:34:31,080
Speaker 8: with the rest of America.

605
00:34:31,200 --> 00:34:32,200
Speaker 9: Let's start our.

606
00:34:32,040 --> 00:34:35,400
Speaker 8: Own channel, invest in it as stockholders. Let's get rid

607
00:34:35,440 --> 00:34:38,080
Speaker 8: of ESPN, like we've gotten rid of the legacy media

608
00:34:38,280 --> 00:34:41,359
Speaker 8: that Leslie stall is now terrified. She said less than

609
00:34:41,400 --> 00:34:45,759
Speaker 8: a month ago. She's terribly worried about the legacy media surviving.

610
00:34:45,840 --> 00:34:48,040
Speaker 9: So let's crush ESPN.

611
00:34:48,320 --> 00:34:49,240
Speaker 3: Let's start it out.

612
00:34:49,120 --> 00:34:51,280
Speaker 8: With the new year and figuring this out. We've gotten

613
00:34:51,280 --> 00:34:53,600
Speaker 8: into the moon, we can get rid of ESPN. That's

614
00:34:53,600 --> 00:34:55,400
Speaker 8: all I'm saying. I'm just kind of dicked off about it.

615
00:34:55,440 --> 00:34:56,040
Speaker 8: Sorry about that.

616
00:34:56,640 --> 00:34:57,719
Speaker 2: No, I appreciate the call.

617
00:34:57,880 --> 00:35:01,920
Speaker 1: Jim's reacting to ESPN not covering the national anthem, the

618
00:35:02,040 --> 00:35:05,280
Speaker 1: moment of silence, Notre Dame running out with the American flag,

619
00:35:05,360 --> 00:35:09,160
Speaker 1: or the entire Sugar Bowl chanting USA one. I kind

620
00:35:09,160 --> 00:35:10,680
Speaker 1: of put my money where my mouth is on that.

621
00:35:10,800 --> 00:35:13,120
Speaker 1: On some level. If you haven't checked out OutKick, I

622
00:35:13,120 --> 00:35:15,640
Speaker 1: wouldn't say we're a conservative sports site. I would say

623
00:35:15,640 --> 00:35:20,640
Speaker 1: we're just a reasonable, rational, normal sports site, and we

624
00:35:20,719 --> 00:35:23,040
Speaker 1: believe that men should compete against men and women should

625
00:35:23,040 --> 00:35:25,880
Speaker 1: compete against women, And crazily, OutKick is the only sports

626
00:35:25,880 --> 00:35:28,480
Speaker 1: site in America that will say that. And I give

627
00:35:28,520 --> 00:35:31,359
Speaker 1: credit to Fox. They bought OutKick from me three years ago,

628
00:35:32,120 --> 00:35:34,040
Speaker 1: and so I think OutKick has had a big impact,

629
00:35:34,160 --> 00:35:36,360
Speaker 1: and we've tried to build our own digital channels and

630
00:35:36,400 --> 00:35:38,400
Speaker 1: I know we've got a huge audience and it's continuing

631
00:35:38,440 --> 00:35:41,399
Speaker 1: to grow. But I think the challenge with any competitive

632
00:35:41,560 --> 00:35:45,319
Speaker 1: marketplace is making people aware you exist. And so if

633
00:35:45,360 --> 00:35:48,120
Speaker 1: you haven't checked out OutKick dot com yet, it's probably

634
00:35:48,160 --> 00:35:50,080
Speaker 1: if you're a sports fan, it's probably a place that

635
00:35:50,120 --> 00:35:50,839
Speaker 1: you would like to go.

636
00:35:51,239 --> 00:35:52,000
Speaker 2: I guarandamnte.

637
00:35:52,239 --> 00:35:54,479
Speaker 1: We would have covered the USA Chant, and we would

638
00:35:54,480 --> 00:35:56,120
Speaker 1: have covered the moment of silence, and we would have

639
00:35:56,160 --> 00:35:58,880
Speaker 1: covered the national anthem if we had the rights to

640
00:35:58,880 --> 00:36:01,360
Speaker 1: those sporting events. But I think one of the challenges

641
00:36:01,320 --> 00:36:03,440
Speaker 1: is going to be those sporting events themselves are so

642
00:36:03,560 --> 00:36:07,560
Speaker 1: incredibly expensive, and I think it's actually easier to build.

643
00:36:07,600 --> 00:36:10,239
Speaker 2: Shoulder programming around.

644
00:36:10,480 --> 00:36:12,799
Speaker 1: The events themselves than it is to be able to

645
00:36:12,880 --> 00:36:16,960
Speaker 1: afford the multi billion dollar cost of buying the rights

646
00:36:17,000 --> 00:36:19,759
Speaker 1: to all these different sporting events. So I think that's

647
00:36:19,800 --> 00:36:21,960
Speaker 1: the reality but we've tried to punch back. I've tried

648
00:36:22,000 --> 00:36:23,560
Speaker 1: to put my money where of her mouth is. When

649
00:36:23,600 --> 00:36:26,160
Speaker 1: we come back speaking about Kick, Tommy LaRence schedule to

650
00:36:26,200 --> 00:36:27,839
Speaker 1: join us. She does a daily show on out Kick,

651
00:36:27,920 --> 00:36:30,640
Speaker 1: part of our digital network. Encourage you to check that out.

652
00:36:31,080 --> 00:36:32,719
Speaker 1: But she'll be with us. We're going to talk about

653
00:36:32,719 --> 00:36:35,520
Speaker 1: a bunch of different things, including this ongoing speaker debate.

654
00:36:35,560 --> 00:36:37,279
Speaker 2: Who's going to be the choice? When's it going to happen.

655
00:36:37,280 --> 00:36:38,120
Speaker 2: We'll talk about it next
