Speaker 2: in the tune of fifteen million plus of you every

11
00:00:34,040 --> 00:00:38,040
Speaker 2: single month listening to this on podcast. And we're joined

12
00:00:38,080 --> 00:00:42,320
Speaker 2: now by Senator Ran Paul, who I think understands the

13
00:00:42,320 --> 00:00:45,600
Speaker 2: first of it ment interplay with the government censorship and

14
00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:49,279
Speaker 2: its impact better than almost anyone out there in the

15
00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:53,240
Speaker 2: in Congress today. And I'll begin this by having a discussion.

16
00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:55,480
Speaker 2: I bet you remember this, Senator, Thanks for taking the

17
00:00:55,520 --> 00:00:58,840
Speaker 2: time with us. You did an interview with us about

18
00:00:58,880 --> 00:01:02,320
Speaker 2: COVID back in twenty twenty one. I believe a couple

19
00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:06,280
Speaker 2: of years ago everything you said ended up being true.

20
00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:10,840
Speaker 2: You are, of course a doctor as well. YouTube refused

21
00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:13,880
Speaker 2: to allow that interview to be shared. In fact, it

22
00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:16,840
Speaker 2: was in twenty twenty two as part of the preliminary

23
00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:18,640
Speaker 2: for you when you were running.

24
00:01:18,319 --> 00:01:19,800
Speaker 3: For re election in Kentucky.

25
00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:23,200
Speaker 2: They took down that interview and refused to allow it

26
00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:25,520
Speaker 2: to be shared because it was considered.

27
00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:26,680
Speaker 3: To be misinformation.

28
00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:29,280
Speaker 2: That, to me, is a perfect example of one of

29
00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:32,200
Speaker 2: the things that you're trying to address with your new legislation.

30
00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:34,880
Speaker 2: But you can probably take a victory lap now because

31
00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:38,520
Speaker 2: almost everything you said about COVID has ended up being true.

32
00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:40,880
Speaker 2: And that's why the first amendments so important, so that

33
00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:43,720
Speaker 2: we can have a true marketplace of ideas and end

34
00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:47,319
Speaker 2: up with the right outcome, meaning the one that is

35
00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:50,280
Speaker 2: more likely to be true, more widely distributed.

36
00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:53,760
Speaker 4: She would be bad enough if this was YouTube alone,

37
00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:56,120
Speaker 4: just a private company on their own decided that they

38
00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:58,520
Speaker 4: were left wing and going to censor any kind of

39
00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:01,440
Speaker 4: conservative's opinion. But it turns out it's worse than that.

40
00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:04,800
Speaker 4: It's the government, the FBI, the Department of Homeland Security.

41
00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:09,400
Speaker 4: Biden apparachicks Bien associates meeting with big tech on a

42
00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:14,200
Speaker 4: davy basis and getting together sometimes fifty eighty FBI agents

43
00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:16,360
Speaker 4: and government agents all in one room with big tech

44
00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:20,560
Speaker 4: and telling them take this down or else, take this down,

45
00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:22,919
Speaker 4: or we'll sue you for anti trust. Take this down,

46
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:25,880
Speaker 4: or we'll take away your liability protections. Take this down,

47
00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:28,920
Speaker 4: or we'll take this to the very highest point of

48
00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:31,640
Speaker 4: the White House, meaning the President. They have all of

49
00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:35,280
Speaker 4: these threats recorded, and then we really are talking about

50
00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:37,120
Speaker 4: a First Amendment case because now we're talking about the

51
00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:41,680
Speaker 4: government threatening social media and telling them to take down material.

52
00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:44,640
Speaker 4: With the Twitter files, we learned that not only did

53
00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:47,840
Speaker 4: the FBI threaten Twitter to take things down, they would

54
00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:49,840
Speaker 4: tell Twitter said, well, we'll take it down, but it's

55
00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:51,799
Speaker 4: a lot of work. So the FBI said, we'll pay you.

56
00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:54,280
Speaker 4: So now we have the government paying Twitter to take

57
00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:58,000
Speaker 4: down speech. This court case that Eric Smith, the Senator

58
00:02:58,040 --> 00:03:01,160
Speaker 4: from Missouri, started and just came out of a district

59
00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:05,280
Speaker 4: court recently is just amazing that there's an injunction now

60
00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:08,040
Speaker 4: that forbids the FBI from meeting with the White House

61
00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:14,160
Speaker 4: to discuss removing politically or constitutionally protected speech. Interestingly, that

62
00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:17,400
Speaker 4: injunction by the judge is almost identical to what our

63
00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:19,280
Speaker 4: bill does. We've been working on this for a year

64
00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:21,919
Speaker 4: from that angle. The angle is that we don't think

65
00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:24,799
Speaker 4: we really do have the power to regulate Twitter or YouTube,

66
00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:27,239
Speaker 4: but we have the power to regulate who the FBI

67
00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:29,240
Speaker 4: meets with and what the FBI does to try to

68
00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:31,520
Speaker 4: limit constitutionally protected speech.

69
00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:35,120
Speaker 5: So what will that look like, Sunder Paul in practice?

70
00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:40,080
Speaker 5: If the bill that you want put forward here becomes law,

71
00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:42,480
Speaker 5: which we got Joe Biden as president, so obviously there's

72
00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:44,520
Speaker 5: some hurdles here, but it will be a good thing,

73
00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:47,600
Speaker 5: certainly to address an adopt for twenty twenty four as well.

74
00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:51,760
Speaker 5: What would it actually look like because right now the

75
00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:54,360
Speaker 5: FBI is playing this game. We've seen some of the

76
00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:56,760
Speaker 5: testimony on Capitol Hill. They say, well, you know, we'll

77
00:03:56,760 --> 00:03:59,960
Speaker 5: abide by it, but you get the sense that they're

78
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:01,520
Speaker 5: going to try to find ways around it.

79
00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:04,720
Speaker 4: You know, ultimately it's going to take a new president,

80
00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:07,200
Speaker 4: a new Attorney General, and someone who cares about speech.

81
00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:10,400
Speaker 4: But short of that, our bill requires that people will

82
00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:13,200
Speaker 4: be fired. There's a punishment for people who do this.

83
00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:16,599
Speaker 4: It also gives a private right of action. So the

84
00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:18,560
Speaker 4: interview that I did with you that they took down,

85
00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:21,039
Speaker 4: we now would have a private right of action to

86
00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:24,160
Speaker 4: sue the government for limiting our speech, and we'll be

87
00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:27,120
Speaker 4: able to the presumption is ours and the government has

88
00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:31,160
Speaker 4: to defend that in court, so that adds some ability

89
00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:34,520
Speaker 4: to complain about this. But ultimately, if they adhere to

90
00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:37,000
Speaker 4: the law as written, they will have to fire people.

91
00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:39,680
Speaker 4: So if you're a mid level FBI agent and you're

92
00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:42,320
Speaker 4: going over there and doing this, you have to realize

93
00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:44,640
Speaker 4: that the law says that you will be fired. Most

94
00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:46,800
Speaker 4: people want a career in the FBI, so they've been

95
00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:49,000
Speaker 4: doing this and they're not. You know, they lose their pension,

96
00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:51,240
Speaker 4: all kinds of stuff that they're fired. There will be

97
00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:53,920
Speaker 4: a big disincentive for them to do this. But the

98
00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:56,240
Speaker 4: only way this ultimately happens and the only way it

99
00:04:56,279 --> 00:04:58,880
Speaker 4: ever passes, and we've got to get Democrats on board.

100
00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:02,480
Speaker 4: I'm talking with some now. Democrats once upon the time

101
00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:05,240
Speaker 4: were better defenders of the First Amendment than Conservatives, maybe

102
00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:08,160
Speaker 4: thirty forty years ago. But in the last decade or

103
00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:10,760
Speaker 4: two this is switched and we're having trouble fighting Democrats

104
00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:13,080
Speaker 4: who are concerned about the First Amendment. They say, well,

105
00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:16,200
Speaker 4: we're for protecting speech unless we disagree with it, which

106
00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:18,200
Speaker 4: is a ridiculous notion of the First Amendment.

107
00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:22,239
Speaker 2: I think that's so important, and I'll reiterate for everybody

108
00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:24,520
Speaker 2: out there listening, And I bet you remember this, Senator Paul,

109
00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:27,880
Speaker 2: because you're a consistent application of principles is one of

110
00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:29,960
Speaker 2: the reasons people in Kentucky keep sending you back.

111
00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:32,000
Speaker 3: But it wasn't that long ago.

112
00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:36,120
Speaker 2: Bill Maher got fired for saying that the people who

113
00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:38,000
Speaker 2: flew into the nine to eleven in the nine to

114
00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:41,600
Speaker 2: eleven terrorist attack were not cowards. And he wasn't saying

115
00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:43,800
Speaker 2: they were good people. He was just saying, by definition,

116
00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:45,960
Speaker 2: if you're willing to die for what you believe in,

117
00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:49,240
Speaker 2: you're not a coward. He got canceled, he lost his show.

118
00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:54,200
Speaker 2: Now Democrats twenty years later are actually in a position

119
00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:58,600
Speaker 2: where they are the censorious culture. So do you foresee

120
00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:01,640
Speaker 2: being able to get any Democrat support? Because I'll be

121
00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:04,240
Speaker 2: honest with you, I love everything you're saying about this Bill.

122
00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:07,560
Speaker 2: I can't imagine Joe Biden signing it, and sadly, I

123
00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:10,159
Speaker 2: can't even imagine very many Democrats coming out in favor

124
00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:10,359
Speaker 2: of it.

125
00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:14,320
Speaker 4: We've I'm working on one particular senator. I'm not going

126
00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:16,680
Speaker 4: to name him today, one Democrat senator, and we're going

127
00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:18,280
Speaker 4: to be meeting with him in the next week or two.

128
00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:20,960
Speaker 4: I'll have more information. If I can't get him, I

129
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:23,240
Speaker 4: probably can't get anybody. But if I get him, there's

130
00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:25,680
Speaker 4: a possibility we can get a few others. There are

131
00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:28,800
Speaker 4: a few progressives on the House side Roe Conna comes

132
00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:31,880
Speaker 4: to mind who have indicated that they are concerned about

133
00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:34,839
Speaker 4: the government meeting and limiting speech. And really, if you

134
00:06:34,839 --> 00:06:37,840
Speaker 4: defend the First Amendment, it's never been about defending the speech.

135
00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:39,839
Speaker 4: If you look at some of the most first famous

136
00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:44,960
Speaker 4: First Amendment cases, they're usually about despicable people saying despicable things. Right.

137
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:48,400
Speaker 4: First Amendments about protecting people who say things that are

138
00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:52,120
Speaker 4: rotten and unacceptable. But it's about defending speech because once

139
00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:54,839
Speaker 4: you limit the rotten speech that you don't like, the

140
00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:57,039
Speaker 4: next thing is, well, let's limit the people from the

141
00:06:57,080 --> 00:06:59,320
Speaker 4: other party. They just don't know what they're talking about.

142
00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:03,400
Speaker 4: And what it does is it limits the discovery of truth.

143
00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:07,240
Speaker 4: Truth is discovered through disputation in court cases, but also

144
00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:10,400
Speaker 4: in science. People don't realize they think that there's like

145
00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:14,760
Speaker 4: scientific consensus and facts. No science is being disputed every

146
00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:16,960
Speaker 4: day at meetings. If you present a paper in a meeting,

147
00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:19,800
Speaker 4: they say, well, your age group was skewed or your

148
00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:22,760
Speaker 4: control group was inadequate, where you didn't have enough subjects,

149
00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:26,600
Speaker 4: or your statistical analysis isn't true. These debates happen every

150
00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:29,880
Speaker 4: day and every paper is disputed. Even Einstein said that

151
00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:33,800
Speaker 4: he was only one experiment away from being disproven. All

152
00:07:33,840 --> 00:07:36,360
Speaker 4: the time he had proved things from his point of view,

153
00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:39,240
Speaker 4: but it's always about the next person. I mean, Einstein

154
00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:43,920
Speaker 4: basically changed the whole world of physics beyond Newtonian physics,

155
00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:45,920
Speaker 4: and that was a huge deal. But it took a

156
00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:48,920
Speaker 4: long time for people to accept that. And it's the

157
00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:53,040
Speaker 4: way it always is. Science moves forward through disputation, and

158
00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:55,800
Speaker 4: people who say there's a scientific consensus don't know anything

159
00:07:55,840 --> 00:07:58,720
Speaker 4: about science. But there's real danger to that. So we

160
00:07:58,760 --> 00:08:00,640
Speaker 4: live in the world now where most of the major

161
00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:03,720
Speaker 4: networks won't have me on unless I will bend down

162
00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:06,840
Speaker 4: and kiss the ring and say that man is causing

163
00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:09,400
Speaker 4: climate change. If I won't do that, or if I

164
00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:12,120
Speaker 4: want to dispute that, I'm not an acceptable person, and

165
00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:15,080
Speaker 4: ideally they would take that down. That was the predicate.

166
00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:18,280
Speaker 4: That was the beginning, was the global change consensus, which

167
00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:21,840
Speaker 4: became a media consensus, which became a stifling of other opinions.

168
00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:25,520
Speaker 4: Then it became the COVID consensus, and so this is

169
00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:28,440
Speaker 4: a real danger of allowing anybody to believe that there's

170
00:08:28,440 --> 00:08:31,400
Speaker 4: a consensus of truth, but it's going to be arbitrated

171
00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:35,360
Speaker 4: and dispensed by government, and that's a real problem for

172
00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:36,240
Speaker 4: a free society.

173
00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:40,440
Speaker 5: Speaking to Senator Paul of Kentucky, Senator, I'm sure you've

174
00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:42,560
Speaker 5: seen a lot of the back and forth last couple

175
00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:49,000
Speaker 5: of days over the requests to have Ukraine join NATO.

176
00:08:49,520 --> 00:08:54,560
Speaker 5: The possibility of Ukraine joining NATO, there's some dispute as

177
00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:56,680
Speaker 5: to well, first of all, whether it will happen, but

178
00:08:56,760 --> 00:08:59,360
Speaker 5: also the timing of it. For a lot of us

179
00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:02,760
Speaker 5: who have been skeptical of some of the official narrative

180
00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:07,440
Speaker 5: of US backing of the Zelensky government the way that

181
00:09:07,520 --> 00:09:10,120
Speaker 5: it has to the extent that it has, without preconditions

182
00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:14,360
Speaker 5: and without setting parameters, this seems pretty unsettling, because the

183
00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:18,280
Speaker 5: whole problem with Russia is really a function of whether

184
00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:20,720
Speaker 5: or not Ukraine would ever be in NATO. What do

185
00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:21,600
Speaker 5: you make of all this.

186
00:09:24,160 --> 00:09:26,760
Speaker 4: Spring country, a country that's already at war with Russia

187
00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:29,480
Speaker 4: into NATO would be a vote to expand the war

188
00:09:29,559 --> 00:09:33,280
Speaker 4: directly to us, most people believe, and look at the

189
00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:35,599
Speaker 4: NATO Charter and say we're going to defend any of

190
00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:38,120
Speaker 4: these countries. And they believe that the power of the

191
00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:42,040
Speaker 4: Charter is in that application. That it was not going

192
00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:43,920
Speaker 4: to be applied, the Charter would lose its power. So

193
00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:46,520
Speaker 4: if you vote to put Ukraine in NATO, you're voting

194
00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:48,520
Speaker 4: to send our young men and women to Ukraine. There's

195
00:09:48,559 --> 00:09:51,240
Speaker 4: no ifs, hands or butts about it. This is also

196
00:09:51,480 --> 00:09:56,040
Speaker 4: why the sort of idea of pushing and pushing and

197
00:09:56,080 --> 00:09:58,920
Speaker 4: pushing to put them in in some ways has led

198
00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:02,199
Speaker 4: Putin to be occupied parts of Georgia and Ukraine, because

199
00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:04,920
Speaker 4: he now knows that it's a deterrent to putting him

200
00:10:04,920 --> 00:10:06,800
Speaker 4: in NATO if he occupies him, and the war has

201
00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:10,000
Speaker 4: already existed. So it actually probably in some ways speeds

202
00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:13,640
Speaker 4: up the timetable. Doesn't justify nothing justifies what he's done,

203
00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:17,880
Speaker 4: but it speeds up that timetable because you know, other

204
00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:22,360
Speaker 4: than some sort of radical voices like Lindsey Graham agitating

205
00:10:22,400 --> 00:10:25,000
Speaker 4: to this, most of the more reasonable voices up here,

206
00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:28,120
Speaker 4: even though they love expanding NATO, aren't willing to do

207
00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:29,200
Speaker 4: it in the middle of a war.

208
00:10:30,360 --> 00:10:32,760
Speaker 2: We just had an interesting conversation we're playing some of

209
00:10:32,760 --> 00:10:36,360
Speaker 2: the clips from RFK Junior last night, I believe with

210
00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:40,080
Speaker 2: Jesse Waters on Fox News, I'm curious what you think

211
00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:43,679
Speaker 2: about what he's saying about COVID, big pharma in general,

212
00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:48,520
Speaker 2: based on your background as a doctor, and are you

213
00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:52,440
Speaker 2: surprised that he's the only Democrat by and large who's

214
00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:55,800
Speaker 2: willing to raise many of these issues associated with COVID,

215
00:10:55,840 --> 00:11:00,320
Speaker 2: the First Amendment, civil civil liberty issues in general. What

216
00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:02,680
Speaker 2: does it say that he seems to be having success

217
00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:06,920
Speaker 2: somewhat even on the Democrat party side with those opinions.

218
00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:09,839
Speaker 4: Well, you know, I'm intrigued by Robert F. Kennedy. I've

219
00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:12,160
Speaker 4: not met him in person, i have communicated a little

220
00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:16,520
Speaker 4: bit with him. I've been intrigued by his dogged pursuit

221
00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:20,880
Speaker 4: of sort of corporatism, the idea that big corporations, particularly

222
00:11:20,880 --> 00:11:23,520
Speaker 4: pharmaceutical companies, are in bed with the FDA and have

223
00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:26,360
Speaker 4: corrupted the process such that it is to benefit the

224
00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:30,240
Speaker 4: company's profit and not necessarily the people. These agencies were

225
00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:32,120
Speaker 4: set up for like drug safety in this and that,

226
00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:35,360
Speaker 4: but they've become agencies where all the fees come from

227
00:11:35,640 --> 00:11:38,480
Speaker 4: user fees from big companies. People say, oh, that's great.

228
00:11:38,520 --> 00:11:41,400
Speaker 4: The companies are paying for government. It's self sufficient. Well

229
00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:43,719
Speaker 4: it is unless they control all the levers and then

230
00:11:43,720 --> 00:11:47,320
Speaker 4: have become sort of self reinforcing. It's really a problem

231
00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:51,080
Speaker 4: when you have people in government mandating that we use

232
00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:55,280
Speaker 4: a certain pharmaceutical project product, and then those same people

233
00:11:55,320 --> 00:11:57,840
Speaker 4: are also on the boards. So we have former FDA

234
00:11:58,040 --> 00:12:00,960
Speaker 4: head is now on the board, member of five. He

235
00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:03,920
Speaker 4: also has his own agents calling Twitter to sopride a suppress,

236
00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:09,200
Speaker 4: suppress anything that is negative about taking Visor's vaccine. And

237
00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:11,720
Speaker 4: I look, more debate the better, more speech, the better.

238
00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:14,480
Speaker 4: But I don't like to see the people that sort

239
00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:19,160
Speaker 4: of have their tentacles into government using government to mandate

240
00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:21,920
Speaker 4: something that increases their profit. You know, if you want

241
00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:25,760
Speaker 4: to be just a terrible authoritarian and mandate vaccines and

242
00:12:25,840 --> 00:12:28,600
Speaker 4: medicines on everybody, that's fine, but it's even worse that

243
00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:31,200
Speaker 4: now you're authoritarian, but you're doing it for your own profit.

244
00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:34,800
Speaker 4: And so this, you know, he's been pretty good at

245
00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:36,880
Speaker 4: looking at stuff like this. I think he's made some

246
00:12:36,920 --> 00:12:40,600
Speaker 4: pretty reasonable comments on Ukraine. In the end, I think

247
00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:43,360
Speaker 4: there'll probably be some separation between myself believing in a

248
00:12:43,400 --> 00:12:45,960
Speaker 4: lot less government, but there is some overlap, and I

249
00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:48,800
Speaker 4: think he's useful and I'm always willing to hear people

250
00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:50,559
Speaker 4: from the other side who I have some agreement with.

251
00:12:51,400 --> 00:12:53,400

Speaker 5: Klay Travis and Buck Sexton welcome back in here to

271
00:13:56,320 --> 00:13:59,880
Speaker 5: play and Buck really in from stuff there from Senator

272
00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:05,280
Speaker 5: Rand Paul about really the massive First Amendment infringements that

273
00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:06,719
Speaker 5: we've seen under the Biden administration.

274
00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:10,240
Speaker 3: I think you could very clearly argue that.

275
00:14:10,320 --> 00:14:13,439
Speaker 5: The Biden regime has been the most anti free speech,

276
00:14:15,760 --> 00:14:18,839
Speaker 5: the most anti free speech presidential administration. Since I don't know,

277
00:14:18,840 --> 00:14:21,360
Speaker 5: Woodrow Wilson, you'd have to go back a long way

278
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:25,600
Speaker 5: for somebody to be as involved in shutting down the

279
00:14:25,640 --> 00:14:28,360
Speaker 5: free exchange of ideas. You know, Clay, we might get

280
00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:30,600
Speaker 5: in a second. But I just saw something come across,

281
00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:34,680
Speaker 5: come across the wire, so to speak. From Kevin O'Leary,

282
00:14:34,680 --> 00:14:38,520
Speaker 5: mister wonderful over on. He was on Outnumbered, and he's

283
00:14:38,640 --> 00:14:41,040
Speaker 5: making a point about the economy that I think people

284
00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:43,360
Speaker 5: need to hear more of, and that is, you know,

285
00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:45,200
Speaker 5: first of all, the stock market. He didn't say this,

286
00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:48,400
Speaker 5: I just know this. The stock market is effectively being

287
00:14:48,520 --> 00:14:51,840
Speaker 5: propped up, you know, the SNP being propped up by

288
00:14:51,880 --> 00:14:55,200
Speaker 5: five or six massive tech companies, and a lot of

289
00:14:55,200 --> 00:14:58,320
Speaker 5: that is AI driven. You know, Oh, they're going to

290
00:14:58,400 --> 00:15:00,840
Speaker 5: have huge profits because AI is the future, sure, but

291
00:15:01,280 --> 00:15:03,760
Speaker 5: companies in general are actually not a lot of the

292
00:15:03,760 --> 00:15:06,840
Speaker 5: big companies are not doing particularly well. They're not seeing

293
00:15:07,480 --> 00:15:09,040
Speaker 5: a lot of revenue growth, and their.

294
00:15:08,920 --> 00:15:09,840
Speaker 3: Stocks are flat.

295
00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:13,080
Speaker 5: So even though the market is up a little bit

296
00:15:13,120 --> 00:15:16,680
Speaker 5: this year, overall, it's being propped up by a handful

297
00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:18,960
Speaker 5: of companies that are doing all the work lifting. And

298
00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:21,560
Speaker 5: that this effects your for a one K, your retirement accounts,

299
00:15:21,560 --> 00:15:24,640
Speaker 5: and everything else. So the overall market's not that good.

300
00:15:24,640 --> 00:15:29,000
Speaker 5: He also pointed out that all the Bidenomics big spending bill,

301
00:15:29,440 --> 00:15:30,640
Speaker 5: the Chips bill or not.

302
00:15:30,680 --> 00:15:30,960
Speaker 3: The story.

303
00:15:31,160 --> 00:15:35,040
Speaker 5: Well, there's the Chips will separate thing, the Inflation Reduction Acts. Think,

304
00:15:35,240 --> 00:15:36,360
Speaker 5: I mean, I guess we have to call it that

305
00:15:36,400 --> 00:15:37,880
Speaker 5: because that's the name of the bill, even though it's

306
00:15:37,920 --> 00:15:38,720
Speaker 5: just a spending bill.

307
00:15:39,440 --> 00:15:39,560
Speaker 6: Uh.

308
00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:44,640
Speaker 5: That for small to medium sized businesses their cost of capital.

309
00:15:44,680 --> 00:15:48,840
Speaker 5: I mean this the fight against inflation. Coca Cola just

310
00:15:48,840 --> 00:15:51,640
Speaker 5: passes the price onto the consumer and can weather the storm.

311
00:15:52,040 --> 00:15:55,600
Speaker 5: But if you have fifty employees, and as he points out,

312
00:15:56,400 --> 00:15:58,640
Speaker 5: you have fifty employees are running a medium you know,

313
00:15:58,720 --> 00:16:02,800
Speaker 5: mid sized business in the Midwest, let's say your ability

314
00:16:02,840 --> 00:16:05,720
Speaker 5: to get money, your cost of capital is going up

315
00:16:05,720 --> 00:16:08,200
Speaker 5: in a way that really hurts your business, and small

316
00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:11,200
Speaker 5: business is still the engine of the American economy, and

317
00:16:11,720 --> 00:16:14,800
Speaker 5: I think that's part of the challenge that we have

318
00:16:14,920 --> 00:16:18,920
Speaker 5: right now. And this is not being articulated on the

319
00:16:18,960 --> 00:16:22,160
Speaker 5: Republican side. People feel this, they see the prices, they

320
00:16:22,280 --> 00:16:25,160
Speaker 5: understand that. I don't know anybody who runs a small

321
00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:27,920
Speaker 5: business that feels like things are good right now. But

322
00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:32,200
Speaker 5: the why is so important. People need to hear the why.

323
00:16:34,080 --> 00:16:36,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that's true in a big way, Buck,

324
00:16:36,560 --> 00:16:40,360
Speaker 2: and I would just come back to on the Bidenomics front.

325
00:16:40,760 --> 00:16:43,920
Speaker 2: We talked earlier about mortgage rates. They are surging up

326
00:16:43,960 --> 00:16:48,320
Speaker 2: to almost eight percent inflation three percent now the number

327
00:16:48,360 --> 00:16:50,880
Speaker 2: that came out today, but it's on top of nine

328
00:16:50,960 --> 00:16:53,520
Speaker 2: percent last year. And I think that's important for people

329
00:16:53,560 --> 00:16:57,200
Speaker 2: to understand. It's building. It's building on top of the

330
00:16:57,200 --> 00:17:00,480
Speaker 2: mountain that was already built. So things are still in creasing,

331
00:17:00,600 --> 00:17:02,520
Speaker 2: they're just increasing at a lower rate, and you're not

332
00:17:02,560 --> 00:17:06,600
Speaker 2: getting money back from that ten percent nearly inflation last year.

333
00:17:06,800 --> 00:17:08,880
Speaker 2: And the way to really bring this home is real

334
00:17:08,920 --> 00:17:12,400
Speaker 2: wages are down. I try to look at everything, Buck

335
00:17:12,440 --> 00:17:15,320
Speaker 2: in terms of one year, but now we've got three

336
00:17:15,400 --> 00:17:18,240
Speaker 2: years of so called biden nomics right where you can

337
00:17:18,280 --> 00:17:22,160
Speaker 2: sit and look at everything. Mortgage rates highest in a decade,

338
00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:26,479
Speaker 2: inflation highest in forty years, real wages down. That as

339
00:17:26,520 --> 00:17:28,439
Speaker 2: you were making less money in your pocket today than

340
00:17:28,480 --> 00:17:30,919
Speaker 2: you were when Joe Biden came into office, and the

341
00:17:30,960 --> 00:17:33,879
Speaker 2: stock market's not up. Whether you're rich or poor, the

342
00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:37,080
Speaker 2: economy is not working. That's the case that I think

343
00:17:37,200 --> 00:17:40,280
Speaker 2: needs to be made, and people feel it, but they

344
00:17:40,320 --> 00:17:42,840
Speaker 2: need to understand whether what they feel is real. And

345
00:17:42,840 --> 00:17:44,800
Speaker 2: that's why when Democrats try to say we've got a

346
00:17:44,800 --> 00:17:47,399
Speaker 2: really strong economy. I saw Paul Krugman wrote that in

347
00:17:47,440 --> 00:17:50,280
Speaker 2: his New York Times column this week, it's not actually

348
00:17:50,320 --> 00:17:52,639
Speaker 2: true if you're a normal person or even a rich person,

349
00:17:54,040 --> 00:17:57,320
Speaker 2: and that goes to the essence of the Biden failure

350
00:17:58,080 --> 00:18:01,280
Speaker 2: in general. As it pertains to all of this. I

351
00:18:01,320 --> 00:18:05,120
Speaker 2: want to tell you about my friends at right now

352
00:18:05,240 --> 00:18:09,800
Speaker 2: tunnel to towers. When a service member dies, they have

353
00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:12,800
Speaker 2: to take care of so many of you out there.

354
00:18:13,119 --> 00:18:15,600
Speaker 2: That's why they have the In the Line of Duty Program,

355
00:18:15,680 --> 00:18:19,160
Speaker 2: comprised of gold Star Fallen first Responder, Smart Homes, Veteran

356
00:18:19,200 --> 00:18:23,520
Speaker 2: homelessness programs, Foundations Never Forget programs engage people in nine

357
00:18:23,560 --> 00:18:26,760
Speaker 2: to eleven. Remember it's across America. They have eighty runs,

358
00:18:26,840 --> 00:18:30,800
Speaker 2: walks and climbs a year, dozens of golf outings and barbecues,

359
00:18:30,880 --> 00:18:33,720
Speaker 2: and the Tunnel to Towers nine to eleven Institute educating

360
00:18:33,800 --> 00:18:36,880
Speaker 2: kids in kindergarten through twelfth grade to keep our nation

361
00:18:37,680 --> 00:18:40,080
Speaker 2: and help our nation, make sure that we never forget.

362
00:18:40,119 --> 00:18:42,520
Speaker 2: How do you help them? Ninety five cents of every

363
00:18:42,560 --> 00:18:47,159
Speaker 2: dollar goes to its programs. Never forget the sacrifices of

364
00:18:47,200 --> 00:18:51,159
Speaker 2: our country's greatest heroes. Donate eleven dollars a month to

Speaker 2: t the number two T dot eight. Travis and buck

367
00:18:57,400 --> 00:19:02,480
Speaker 2: Sexton on the front lines. Welcome back in Clay Travis

368
00:19:02,520 --> 00:19:06,760
Speaker 2: buck Sexton Show. We are joined now by Representative Mike

369
00:19:06,800 --> 00:19:10,240
Speaker 2: Johnson from Louisiana. He was on the He was in

370
00:19:10,280 --> 00:19:14,119
Speaker 2: the committee hearing earlier today when Christopher Ray, director of

371
00:19:14,119 --> 00:19:18,280
Speaker 2: the FBI, was grilled about the political nature of the FBI,

372
00:19:19,440 --> 00:19:23,480
Speaker 2: and we played at least one of your soundbites earlier

373
00:19:23,520 --> 00:19:26,199
Speaker 2: in the show. Represent Johnson's we appreciate the questions that

374
00:19:26,280 --> 00:19:30,520
Speaker 2: you were asking, what, if anything, was your biggest takeaway

375
00:19:30,640 --> 00:19:33,880
Speaker 2: from Christopher Ray's testimony today on Capitol Hill.

376
00:19:35,520 --> 00:19:40,120
Speaker 6: Well, the takeaway is that he's been pretty evasive. It's

377
00:19:40,200 --> 00:19:43,639
Speaker 6: really stunning to me, guys, and I said this in

378
00:19:43,680 --> 00:19:46,879
Speaker 6: my questions with him, that we have this explosive one

379
00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:50,240
Speaker 6: hundred and fifty five page federal court ruling released on

380
00:19:50,320 --> 00:19:54,080
Speaker 6: July fourth, appropriately poetically saying that the FBI is directly

381
00:19:54,119 --> 00:19:56,840
Speaker 6: involved in This is the court's quote, not mine, arguably

382
00:19:56,880 --> 00:20:00,040
Speaker 6: the most massive attack against free speech in unit and

383
00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:03,080
Speaker 6: in state's history. And the director of the agency that

384
00:20:03,280 --> 00:20:05,960
Speaker 6: is being accused of this hasn't even read the opinion.

385
00:20:05,960 --> 00:20:07,320
Speaker 6: He's had got a quick briefing on it, but he

386
00:20:07,359 --> 00:20:09,920
Speaker 6: really was prepared to discuss it today. I mean, it's

387
00:20:10,040 --> 00:20:10,840
Speaker 6: unbelievable to me.

388
00:20:10,920 --> 00:20:12,840
Speaker 2: Do you believe that do you believe that he hasn't

389
00:20:12,880 --> 00:20:14,679
Speaker 2: actually sorry to cut you off, but do you believe

390
00:20:14,680 --> 00:20:16,360
Speaker 2: that he hasn't actually read it? Or do you think

391
00:20:16,359 --> 00:20:19,120
Speaker 2: he was just trying to avoid having to be questioned

392
00:20:19,160 --> 00:20:22,560
Speaker 2: about any of the findings in that report in that opinion?

393
00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:25,720
Speaker 6: Well, well, I think it's both. You know, I'm sure

394
00:20:25,720 --> 00:20:28,960
Speaker 6: his lawyers briefed him on it, but you know, if

395
00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:31,000
Speaker 6: I was the director of the FBI, if you were,

396
00:20:31,440 --> 00:20:33,520
Speaker 6: and you had a court accusing you of the most

397
00:20:33,520 --> 00:20:35,639
Speaker 6: egregious violations of the First Amendment in the history of

398
00:20:35,640 --> 00:20:38,679
Speaker 6: the country. I agree it would merit some of my attention,

399
00:20:38,960 --> 00:20:42,439
Speaker 6: you know. But but he doesn't seem to care. And

400
00:20:42,680 --> 00:20:45,400
Speaker 6: I do think that he was very uncomfortable answering questions

401
00:20:45,400 --> 00:20:47,240
Speaker 6: about that, because there's really no way to defend what

402
00:20:47,280 --> 00:20:47,720
Speaker 6: they've done.

403
00:20:48,600 --> 00:20:52,240
Speaker 5: Congressman. One part of me though, here's this and see

404
00:20:52,280 --> 00:20:56,080
Speaker 5: some of this testimony and thinks, well, maybe he doesn't

405
00:20:56,080 --> 00:20:58,679
Speaker 5: care because he thinks there won't be any consequences in

406
00:20:58,760 --> 00:20:59,480
Speaker 5: an He's right.

407
00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:00,840
Speaker 3: What do you say to that.

408
00:21:02,040 --> 00:21:03,800
Speaker 6: It's a great question. I have to answer this all

409
00:21:03,800 --> 00:21:06,359
Speaker 6: the time and remind people back home. You know, we

410
00:21:06,400 --> 00:21:08,840
Speaker 6: only have the majority in one House of Congress, and

411
00:21:08,840 --> 00:21:11,880
Speaker 6: we barely have a majority there. Right even if we did,

412
00:21:11,960 --> 00:21:13,280
Speaker 6: let's say we have the majority in the Senate. In

413
00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:15,000
Speaker 6: the House right now, we don't have the ability under

414
00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:18,320
Speaker 6: the Constitution as members of Congress to purb walk anybody.

415
00:21:18,400 --> 00:21:22,360
Speaker 6: I can't get him fired, I can't I can't indict him, right,

416
00:21:22,560 --> 00:21:24,720
Speaker 6: I can't put him on trial in a court. But

417
00:21:24,760 --> 00:21:26,000
Speaker 6: what I can do is put him on trial in

418
00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:27,600
Speaker 6: the court of public opinion. That's what we're trying to

419
00:21:27,640 --> 00:21:30,000
Speaker 6: do today, to put the facts out for the American people.

420
00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:31,880
Speaker 6: What that ultimately will do is it will lead them

421
00:21:31,880 --> 00:21:34,640
Speaker 6: to make important choices in the elect election cycle about

422
00:21:34,640 --> 00:21:36,439
Speaker 6: who's running the White House, because that's who appoints all

423
00:21:36,480 --> 00:21:39,960
Speaker 6: these people. And second, it allows us the Foundation to

424
00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:43,320
Speaker 6: bring real reform. And we're limited in our scope of

425
00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:45,560
Speaker 6: what we can do here with oversight, but we can

426
00:21:45,680 --> 00:21:48,000
Speaker 6: change the law, we can change the way the FBI

427
00:21:48,400 --> 00:21:50,760
Speaker 6: operates and is structured, and we can cut some of

428
00:21:50,800 --> 00:21:52,760
Speaker 6: the funding when necessary. You know, they want a one

429
00:21:52,800 --> 00:21:55,840
Speaker 6: billion dollars and new headquarters. I don't think they deserve

430
00:21:55,920 --> 00:22:00,240
Speaker 6: that if they can't respect the most fundamental constitutional right

431
00:22:00,800 --> 00:22:02,800
Speaker 6: the people they're supposed to serve and protect. So that's

432
00:22:02,840 --> 00:22:04,520
Speaker 6: what's an issue here. We have the power of the purse,

433
00:22:04,760 --> 00:22:05,560
Speaker 6: and we're going to use that.

434
00:22:06,280 --> 00:22:07,199
Speaker 3: Representative Johnson.

435
00:22:07,880 --> 00:22:10,720
Speaker 2: One of the things that I'm most fascinated about, and

436
00:22:10,840 --> 00:22:12,880
Speaker 2: we didn't get to watch this lie because we were

437
00:22:12,920 --> 00:22:16,200
Speaker 2: on the air for a substantial portion of the hearings,

438
00:22:16,720 --> 00:22:19,960
Speaker 2: but we know and I'm just curious if you would

439
00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:22,119
Speaker 2: follow me along here, because I think this goes to

440
00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:27,040
Speaker 2: the very essence of the FBI's political nature. We know

441
00:22:27,200 --> 00:22:29,520
Speaker 2: that they took possession of the Hunter Biden laptop in

442
00:22:29,560 --> 00:22:33,240
Speaker 2: December of twenty nineteen. We know that shortly thereafter they

443
00:22:33,280 --> 00:22:36,400
Speaker 2: determined that laptop was one hundred percent authentic and real

444
00:22:36,760 --> 00:22:40,200
Speaker 2: and began to investigate a variety of different crimes associated

445
00:22:40,240 --> 00:22:44,120
Speaker 2: with it. But yet the next year, in October, when

446
00:22:44,119 --> 00:22:47,320
Speaker 2: the New York Post told us about this laptop, they

447
00:22:47,480 --> 00:22:50,320
Speaker 2: aided and embedded and had aided and embedded for months

448
00:22:50,640 --> 00:22:53,959
Speaker 2: the idea that this might be Russian this information, and

449
00:22:54,040 --> 00:22:57,520
Speaker 2: allowed the censorship of this to occur. In fact, they

450
00:22:57,680 --> 00:23:02,000
Speaker 2: encouraged the censorship of the Hunter Biden laptop story to occur.

451
00:23:02,800 --> 00:23:07,040
Speaker 2: To me, that's criminal in nature. Was Christopher Ray asked

452
00:23:07,080 --> 00:23:12,240
Speaker 2: anything about that particularly? And how is it possible that

453
00:23:12,280 --> 00:23:15,480
Speaker 2: he's still not having to answer for that from three

454
00:23:15,520 --> 00:23:16,440
Speaker 2: and four years ago.

455
00:23:17,840 --> 00:23:20,240
Speaker 6: It's a great question, and I did ask him that

456
00:23:20,320 --> 00:23:23,080
Speaker 6: this morning. In fact, the court, this court opinion out

457
00:23:23,080 --> 00:23:26,040
Speaker 6: of Louisiana that came out July fourth, in multiple places

458
00:23:26,080 --> 00:23:27,919
Speaker 6: in this one hundred and fifty five page opinion, the

459
00:23:27,920 --> 00:23:29,159
Speaker 6: court goes there because it's.

460
00:23:29,040 --> 00:23:31,920
Speaker 3: So important, it's the essence of all the DIRECTORCT.

461
00:23:32,880 --> 00:23:35,800
Speaker 6: It's absolutely is you're right, And I asked him. I've

462
00:23:35,800 --> 00:23:37,639
Speaker 6: got the transcript of what I asked him right here.

463
00:23:37,680 --> 00:23:41,480
Speaker 6: I said, quote the court's found quote. This seemingly unrelenting

464
00:23:41,520 --> 00:23:44,720
Speaker 6: pressure by the FBI had the intended result of suppressing

465
00:23:44,800 --> 00:23:47,960
Speaker 6: millions of protected free speech posting fire American citizens. That's

466
00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:50,200
Speaker 6: the court's language, not mine, and the court continues as

467
00:23:50,200 --> 00:23:53,840
Speaker 6: a result, millions of US citizens did not hear of

468
00:23:53,880 --> 00:23:56,760
Speaker 6: the Hunter Biden laptop story prior to the November third,

469
00:23:56,800 --> 00:23:59,600
Speaker 6: twenty twenty election. We know that that had an effect

470
00:23:59,640 --> 00:24:02,480
Speaker 6: on the co of the election. The post election polling

471
00:24:02,840 --> 00:24:05,199
Speaker 6: shows that if the people had known about it, they

472
00:24:05,200 --> 00:24:07,760
Speaker 6: would have voted differently in that election. Guys, we can

473
00:24:07,800 --> 00:24:09,840
Speaker 6: never go back in online history. But that is a

474
00:24:09,960 --> 00:24:15,360
Speaker 6: profound piece of information here. And the director that pretended

475
00:24:15,400 --> 00:24:17,000
Speaker 6: as though he didn't know that that was true or

476
00:24:17,080 --> 00:24:19,919
Speaker 6: had not been mentioned in the case. It's just stunning, stunning.

477
00:24:19,960 --> 00:24:24,440
Speaker 5: Congress and Johnson, how far do you think this politicized

478
00:24:24,560 --> 00:24:28,040
Speaker 5: rot extends in the FBI? I think that people often

479
00:24:28,440 --> 00:24:31,080
Speaker 5: when they hear about this, or there's discussions of this,

480
00:24:31,240 --> 00:24:34,600
Speaker 5: there's this perception, oh, if we let's say, if we

481
00:24:34,680 --> 00:24:38,879
Speaker 5: replaced Ray with somebody who was really good, then everything

482
00:24:38,920 --> 00:24:42,520
Speaker 5: in the FBI would change. I years ago worked in

483
00:24:42,560 --> 00:24:45,640
Speaker 5: the CIA, I would tell people that most folks don't

484
00:24:45,680 --> 00:24:49,600
Speaker 5: even interact in these organizations at all. With the Director, now,

485
00:24:49,600 --> 00:24:52,399
Speaker 5: that doesn't mean there isn't policy, But what do you

486
00:24:52,400 --> 00:24:54,640
Speaker 5: think would have to happen? I mean, how much change

487
00:24:54,720 --> 00:24:57,200
Speaker 5: does the FBI need before it can gain the trust

488
00:24:57,200 --> 00:24:58,000
Speaker 5: of the American people?

489
00:24:58,040 --> 00:24:58,800
Speaker 3: What does that look like?

490
00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:01,679
Speaker 6: Well, we've got a long way to go. And one

491
00:25:01,720 --> 00:25:03,959
Speaker 6: of the alarming statistics I brought up to the Director

492
00:25:04,040 --> 00:25:06,120
Speaker 6: this morning was that there was an NBC News poll

493
00:25:06,240 --> 00:25:09,439
Speaker 6: came out last week. Only thirty seven percent of registered

494
00:25:09,520 --> 00:25:13,280
Speaker 6: voters now view the FBI positively thirty seven percent. If

495
00:25:13,320 --> 00:25:15,639
Speaker 6: we can't maintain the people's faith in our system of

496
00:25:15,880 --> 00:25:18,639
Speaker 6: justice and the department that is supposed to be administering

497
00:25:18,640 --> 00:25:21,080
Speaker 6: all this, we're in serious trouble. I mean, this is

498
00:25:21,440 --> 00:25:25,119
Speaker 6: a foundational underpinning of maintaining a republic. Those states couldn't

499
00:25:25,119 --> 00:25:27,120
Speaker 6: be any higher. What we need to do is, you know,

500
00:25:27,359 --> 00:25:29,520
Speaker 6: we don't have a beef with the thirty eight thousand.

501
00:25:29,800 --> 00:25:32,200
Speaker 6: You know, employees and line agents at the FBI. We've

502
00:25:32,200 --> 00:25:34,000
Speaker 6: got a lot of patriots serving in the CIA and

503
00:25:34,040 --> 00:25:36,520
Speaker 6: the FBI. We know that, but the leadership at the top,

504
00:25:36,880 --> 00:25:40,000
Speaker 6: maybe the top two levels, is corrupted. I mean, they're

505
00:25:40,040 --> 00:25:43,040
Speaker 6: allowing this to go on, and under Merrit Garland's leadership

506
00:25:43,040 --> 00:25:45,840
Speaker 6: of the Department of Justice, they are losing the faith

507
00:25:45,920 --> 00:25:48,159
Speaker 6: of the people and we have got to restore it,

508
00:25:48,200 --> 00:25:50,160
Speaker 6: and we need to start that yesterday. And the way

509
00:25:50,160 --> 00:25:52,800
Speaker 6: we do it is by serious reform that the people

510
00:25:52,840 --> 00:25:55,080
Speaker 6: can see and understand it. That's what we're trying to

511
00:25:55,359 --> 00:25:58,600
Speaker 6: evoke from these guys, to make them bring that to

512
00:25:58,680 --> 00:26:00,639
Speaker 6: us and present it to the people. But we have

513
00:26:00,760 --> 00:26:01,640
Speaker 6: no time to lose here.

514
00:26:02,680 --> 00:26:06,399
Speaker 2: Congressman Johnson, I go a lot to motivation, because I

515
00:26:06,440 --> 00:26:08,800
Speaker 2: don't think there's any doubt at all that the head

516
00:26:08,800 --> 00:26:12,520
Speaker 2: of the FBI, Christopher Ray, is corrupt and that he

517
00:26:12,640 --> 00:26:16,280
Speaker 2: has aided further in the corruption of the FBI from

518
00:26:16,320 --> 00:26:20,360
Speaker 2: a top down basis. Why is he corrupt?

519
00:26:20,760 --> 00:26:23,639
Speaker 3: What is he gaining? In your mind from this?

520
00:26:26,359 --> 00:26:28,879
Speaker 6: I think there are systematic issues in the agency, and

521
00:26:28,880 --> 00:26:32,600
Speaker 6: there's probably a lot of reasons for this. I think

522
00:26:32,640 --> 00:26:34,520
Speaker 6: some of it to be very frank enough to get

523
00:26:34,520 --> 00:26:36,359
Speaker 6: too deep in the weeds. But we've had some testimony

524
00:26:36,400 --> 00:26:38,919
Speaker 6: from field agents who served in the FBI, you know,

525
00:26:39,000 --> 00:26:41,399
Speaker 6: thirty plus years, and they said they could see a

526
00:26:41,480 --> 00:26:45,040
Speaker 6: development in this direction after nine to eleven. For example,

527
00:26:45,119 --> 00:26:47,560
Speaker 6: Remember the big controversy then was that the agencies and

528
00:26:47,600 --> 00:26:50,000
Speaker 6: Intel were not all connected and they couldn't compare notes,

529
00:26:50,000 --> 00:26:52,560
Speaker 6: and therefore we didn't respond as effectively as it could.

530
00:26:52,560 --> 00:26:55,439
Speaker 6: So there was this move to consolidate everything. What happened was,

531
00:26:56,200 --> 00:26:59,000
Speaker 6: especially under the Obama administration and now on steroids on

532
00:26:59,160 --> 00:27:02,399
Speaker 6: the Biden administration, is that they consolidated the power, you know,

533
00:27:02,600 --> 00:27:05,520
Speaker 6: instead of having the authority down in the field offices

534
00:27:05,560 --> 00:27:08,000
Speaker 6: out throughout the country, where you had multiple levesit of review.

535
00:27:08,320 --> 00:27:10,800
Speaker 6: Before they would you know, go investigate parents at school

536
00:27:10,800 --> 00:27:13,720
Speaker 6: board meetings or labeled Catholics as domestic terrorists or whatever

537
00:27:13,840 --> 00:27:16,119
Speaker 6: that would be checked by somebody in one of those offices.

538
00:27:16,119 --> 00:27:18,200
Speaker 6: Hey gee whiz, guys, I'm not sure we should do that, right.

539
00:27:18,359 --> 00:27:22,000
Speaker 6: But now they've taken all that authority and brought it

540
00:27:22,040 --> 00:27:25,159
Speaker 6: into the headquarters, the main office, where you just have

541
00:27:25,200 --> 00:27:27,080
Speaker 6: a handful of people at the very top making the

542
00:27:27,119 --> 00:27:30,159
Speaker 6: decisions on these things. That's the problem and or it's

543
00:27:30,200 --> 00:27:31,959
Speaker 6: a big part of the problem. And then also you

544
00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:36,440
Speaker 6: have Biden putting political people with agendas and these positions

545
00:27:36,440 --> 00:27:39,000
Speaker 6: that are supposed to be a political right, and so

546
00:27:39,040 --> 00:27:42,439
Speaker 6: they've become basically an arm of the party in power.

547
00:27:42,800 --> 00:27:45,640
Speaker 6: And that's the problem at its essence, that we've got

548
00:27:45,640 --> 00:27:49,159
Speaker 6: to get back to the main mission of the FBI

549
00:27:49,600 --> 00:27:51,320
Speaker 6: and to get away from the politics. And we've got

550
00:27:51,320 --> 00:27:51,800
Speaker 6: a long way.

551
00:27:51,680 --> 00:27:54,159
Speaker 5: To be able to do it right now, Congress and Johnson,

552
00:27:54,160 --> 00:27:55,600
Speaker 5: appreciate you being with us or thanks so.

553
00:27:55,600 --> 00:27:57,280
Speaker 1: Much, you got it.

554
00:27:57,320 --> 00:27:57,919
Speaker 6: Thank you guys.

555
00:27:58,960 --> 00:27:59,800
Speaker 3: There's a former.

556
00:27:59,640 --> 00:28:03,159
Speaker 5: Walls insider who's got a bold prediction about changes coming

557
00:28:03,280 --> 00:28:06,880
Speaker 5: to our basic currency system here in this country. Tikasuwaye

558
00:28:07,160 --> 00:28:10,120
Speaker 5: is his name. He's an author of many well thought

559
00:28:10,119 --> 00:28:13,360
Speaker 5: of financial newsletters who pays attention to our nation's economy

560
00:28:13,400 --> 00:28:16,440
Speaker 5: and what's affecting it. He believes our federal government could

561
00:28:16,480 --> 00:28:19,920
Speaker 5: soon announce a mandatory national recall on the US dollar.

562
00:28:20,280 --> 00:28:22,639
Speaker 5: Those whould be replaced with a new digital version that

563
00:28:22,720 --> 00:28:24,679
Speaker 5: will be radically different from what you have in your

564
00:28:24,680 --> 00:28:28,720
Speaker 5: bank account right now. Tikachuayi is warning that the official

565
00:28:28,760 --> 00:28:31,520
Speaker 5: announcement could come as soon as two weeks from now,

566
00:28:31,560 --> 00:28:34,800
Speaker 5: on July twenty six. He's exposing this government plan in

567
00:28:34,880 --> 00:28:38,080
Speaker 5: a controversial new video and showing you the three steps

568

584
00:29:30,320 --> 00:29:37,480
Speaker 5: brilliant marketing scheme. But you are my fast food connoisseur. Yes,

585
00:29:37,560 --> 00:29:39,360
Speaker 5: to be fair, it's not that I wouldn't eat it.

586
00:29:39,400 --> 00:29:41,920
Speaker 5: I just really can't eat fast food because of the

587
00:29:41,960 --> 00:29:44,680
Speaker 5: gluten content that is in almost all of it. As

588
00:29:44,800 --> 00:29:48,040
Speaker 5: somebody who has siliac disease. I will say when RFK

589
00:29:48,200 --> 00:29:50,480
Speaker 5: Junior was talking about a bunch of things, he mentioned

590
00:29:50,520 --> 00:29:54,440
Speaker 5: the big explosion in siliac disease. Yeah, of the last

591
00:29:54,520 --> 00:29:57,560
Speaker 5: let's say thirty years. That got my attention. Celiac disease

592
00:29:58,400 --> 00:30:02,320
Speaker 5: is so annoying. It is very frustrating deal with. But anyway,

593
00:30:02,400 --> 00:30:03,920
Speaker 5: because I used to roll over my you know, my

594
00:30:04,000 --> 00:30:05,520
Speaker 5: dadad what did he attribute it to?

595
00:30:05,800 --> 00:30:07,840
Speaker 2: Is it the processed foods and stuff that he thinks

596
00:30:07,840 --> 00:30:09,560
Speaker 2: may have been creed? I don't know the answer, but

597
00:30:10,520 --> 00:30:11,000
Speaker 2: I mean.

598
00:30:10,880 --> 00:30:12,680
Speaker 3: I think he said something about vaccines. But you know,

599
00:30:12,720 --> 00:30:14,560
Speaker 3: there's a lot of things, a lot of things. I

600
00:30:14,600 --> 00:30:16,800
Speaker 3: think it might have been about vaccines with our kid Junior.

601
00:30:16,880 --> 00:30:20,840
Speaker 5: But the point being, it seems to me like there

602
00:30:20,880 --> 00:30:22,560
Speaker 5: are people that make the case. There's a whole book

603
00:30:22,760 --> 00:30:26,320
Speaker 5: called Wheat Belly that talks about what they call dwarf wheat,

604
00:30:26,480 --> 00:30:30,440
Speaker 5: which is genetically modified grain. I read this right when

605
00:30:30,440 --> 00:30:33,240
Speaker 5: I got diagnosed with ciliac about thirteen years ago now,

606
00:30:33,720 --> 00:30:36,920
Speaker 5: and after having been extremely sick for months, which was

607
00:30:36,960 --> 00:30:40,040
Speaker 5: not fun. Anyway, on the fun things fast if you

608
00:30:40,040 --> 00:30:41,840
Speaker 5: want to read Wheat Belly, though, it talks about how

609
00:30:41,880 --> 00:30:44,240
Speaker 5: we have if you look at what wheat looked like,

610
00:30:44,400 --> 00:30:48,800
Speaker 5: you know, in the during the American Revolution, or during

611
00:30:48,800 --> 00:30:50,440
Speaker 5: the time of the Bible or whatever. You look at wheat,

612
00:30:50,480 --> 00:30:52,480
Speaker 5: it all looks the same. Then again in the twentieth

613
00:30:52,520 --> 00:30:57,479
Speaker 5: century and it changes. The basic fundamental plant looks very,

614
00:30:57,880 --> 00:31:00,880
Speaker 5: very different, like what we meetically modify in many ways

615
00:31:00,960 --> 00:31:04,800
Speaker 5: over time. Yes, it's shorter, it's denser, it is much

616
00:31:04,840 --> 00:31:08,360
Speaker 5: more rapidly harved, you know, much more rapidly grown in

617
00:31:08,400 --> 00:31:11,640
Speaker 5: therefore harvested, so it's more efficient, it's more economical. But

618
00:31:12,760 --> 00:31:15,880
Speaker 5: how's it doing for people? I mean, anyway, that's that's

619
00:31:15,880 --> 00:31:18,040
Speaker 5: one thing. But I can't really eat the much of

620
00:31:18,080 --> 00:31:20,840
Speaker 5: the fast food. I can go to a Chick fil A.

621
00:31:20,960 --> 00:31:23,440
Speaker 5: The nuggets and the fries, that's what I can go for.

622
00:31:23,760 --> 00:31:26,480
Speaker 5: That's a good combo to have, by the way, Yeah,

623
00:31:26,520 --> 00:31:28,280
Speaker 5: well I take the I take the fries and make

624
00:31:28,320 --> 00:31:31,120
Speaker 5: a little chicken nugget sandwich with my waffle fries, which

625
00:31:31,160 --> 00:31:34,640
Speaker 5: gets it done. But I will say this, there is

626
00:31:34,680 --> 00:31:37,360
Speaker 5: in Thailand, somebody see this. They're getting all this attention

627
00:31:38,000 --> 00:31:43,320
Speaker 5: for the cheeseburger, uh, the real cheeseburger. They're calling it.

628
00:31:43,360 --> 00:31:46,680
Speaker 5: Everyone's writing about this. It is no meat. It is

629
00:31:46,800 --> 00:31:52,120
Speaker 5: just twenty slices of American cheese melted between two buns.

630
00:31:52,720 --> 00:31:57,040
Speaker 5: Would you eat this clay? This is Thailand slices. It's

631
00:31:57,080 --> 00:31:57,640
Speaker 5: burger king.

632
00:31:59,600 --> 00:32:01,880
Speaker 2: I mean, I I mean, look, I've probably eaten way

633
00:32:02,680 --> 00:32:05,520
Speaker 2: way less healthy things. I mean, I like grilled cheese,

634
00:32:05,520 --> 00:32:08,720
Speaker 2: but I can't imagine that this is very good. I

635
00:32:08,760 --> 00:32:10,160
Speaker 2: know it doesn't have a lot of appeal to me.

636
00:32:10,200 --> 00:32:13,320
Speaker 2: Did you did you see my hot take that blew

637
00:32:13,400 --> 00:32:14,960
Speaker 2: up associated with fast food?

638
00:32:15,360 --> 00:32:15,560
Speaker 4: No?

639
00:32:15,600 --> 00:32:16,120
Speaker 3: What was it?

640
00:32:16,800 --> 00:32:21,600
Speaker 2: I ranked chicken tenders and I altered my chicken tender's

641
00:32:21,680 --> 00:32:25,200
Speaker 2: fast food power rankings, and it's set off in uproar

642
00:32:26,000 --> 00:32:29,960
Speaker 2: and the best, in my opinion, always humble. As you

643
00:32:30,000 --> 00:32:33,720
Speaker 2: well know, I now think the best chicken tenders in

644
00:32:33,760 --> 00:32:38,320
Speaker 2: America fast food. I'm not talking about individual restaurants. Raisin

645
00:32:38,400 --> 00:32:41,440
Speaker 2: canes have you ever had? You can't eat it? You

646
00:32:41,720 --> 00:32:46,320
Speaker 2: have legitimately zero opinion on this. Raisin Canes is to

647
00:32:46,360 --> 00:32:50,160
Speaker 2: come into Nashville recently, and my boys, I would say

648
00:32:50,640 --> 00:32:55,200
Speaker 2: chicken tenders and pizza if you have kids, are probably

649
00:32:55,680 --> 00:32:59,560
Speaker 2: the most reliable staple of the child diet. You can

650
00:32:59,600 --> 00:33:02,600
Speaker 2: toss in maybe peanut butter and jelly, but chicken tenders

651
00:33:02,600 --> 00:33:06,000
Speaker 2: and pizza. It's almost impossible to go wrong, So my kids,

652
00:33:06,040 --> 00:33:08,880
Speaker 2: not surprisingly eat a lot of chicken tenders and pizza.

653
00:33:09,440 --> 00:33:14,160
Speaker 2: Raising Canes Buck if you were able to eat it

654
00:33:14,240 --> 00:33:19,880
Speaker 2: is incredibly good. I bumped them to number one, replacing Zaxby's.

655
00:33:20,360 --> 00:33:22,560
Speaker 2: I think Raisin Canes has the best chicken tenders in

656
00:33:22,600 --> 00:33:25,280
Speaker 2: America and they are unbelievably good.

657
00:33:25,800 --> 00:33:29,320
Speaker 5: What is your what is You're all in? Favorite fast

658
00:33:29,400 --> 00:33:32,000
Speaker 5: food chain period fast food?

659
00:33:32,800 --> 00:33:34,920
Speaker 2: Chick fil A beyond the shadow of a dow all

660
00:33:34,960 --> 00:33:37,280
Speaker 2: in Wow, Okay, I go. I had to only eat

661
00:33:37,480 --> 00:33:39,880
Speaker 2: one Chick fil one fast food for the rest of

662
00:33:39,920 --> 00:33:41,840
Speaker 2: my life, Like you wiped me out and said you

663
00:33:41,880 --> 00:33:43,640
Speaker 2: can't go anywhere else. I would go Chick fil A

664
00:33:43,760 --> 00:33:45,760
Speaker 2: because I don't think I've ever had a Chick fil

665
00:33:45,760 --> 00:33:48,440
Speaker 2: A sandwich. And as you mentioned the waffle fries earlier

666
00:33:48,520 --> 00:33:51,880
Speaker 2: and thought, oh, you know what, that really stunk, right,

667
00:33:51,920 --> 00:33:55,840
Speaker 2: the quality is always there, Just like my favorite meal.

668
00:33:56,240 --> 00:33:57,440
Speaker 2: If I had to get a meal, I had to

669
00:33:57,440 --> 00:33:59,040
Speaker 2: eat one meal for the rest of my life, I

670
00:33:59,080 --> 00:34:02,040
Speaker 2: would go Chicken Palm. I think Chicken Palm is the

671
00:34:02,400 --> 00:34:05,200
Speaker 2: I've never It's almost impossible to screw up chicken palm.

672
00:34:05,320 --> 00:34:07,400
Speaker 2: It's almost always good. What about you, what would your

673
00:34:07,400 --> 00:34:10,120
Speaker 2: go to be? Oh, in an out burger for sure?

674
00:34:10,400 --> 00:34:11,840
Speaker 3: In and out? So can you eat the in and

675
00:34:11,920 --> 00:34:12,680
Speaker 3: out burger or no?

676
00:34:12,800 --> 00:34:16,600
Speaker 5: Yeah, because they put it on lettuce wraps. Yeah, I know,

677
00:34:16,840 --> 00:34:18,640
Speaker 5: which is still very good. It's not as good as

678
00:34:18,640 --> 00:34:20,400
Speaker 5: it would be with a bun, but that's that's.

679
00:34:20,160 --> 00:34:22,480
Speaker 2: So when you went out on a first date with

680
00:34:22,520 --> 00:34:25,239
Speaker 2: a girl back in the day, did you pretend that

681
00:34:25,280 --> 00:34:27,400
Speaker 2: you didn't have celiac disease because you thought it was

682
00:34:27,440 --> 00:34:29,719
Speaker 2: kind of wimpy or did you immediately admit.

683
00:34:29,440 --> 00:34:30,000
Speaker 3: That you had it?

684
00:34:30,680 --> 00:34:34,000
Speaker 5: No, you got it, otherwise you I'll be sick for days.

685
00:34:34,320 --> 00:34:36,600
Speaker 2: There's no like, oh, you mean it's not like something

686
00:34:36,600 --> 00:34:38,719
Speaker 2: an appetizer and like you wouldn't eat it, like you

687
00:34:38,760 --> 00:34:40,400
Speaker 2: would just eat immediately say it.

688
00:34:40,560 --> 00:34:43,640
Speaker 5: Oh, immediately immediately. Yeah, there's no, there's no U. It's

689
00:34:43,640 --> 00:34:45,480
Speaker 5: not like there are a lot of people that won't eat

690
00:34:45,480 --> 00:34:46,560
Speaker 5: gluten because they're.

691
00:34:46,360 --> 00:34:48,279
Speaker 3: Like oh, like man, it's like, I don't think it.

692
00:34:48,440 --> 00:34:50,040
Speaker 5: You know, it's good for my system, which is fine,

693
00:34:50,080 --> 00:34:54,400
Speaker 5: by the way, I mean I legitimately. Celiac disease causes

694
00:34:54,440 --> 00:35:00,000
Speaker 5: an autoimmune misfire. Basically, where your intestines become inflamed because

695
00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:02,760
Speaker 5: because they're treating the actual glead and or the gluten

696
00:35:02,760 --> 00:35:05,920
Speaker 5: protein like it is like an invader or something to

697
00:35:05,960 --> 00:35:07,239
Speaker 5: be So you do.

698
00:35:07,239 --> 00:35:09,040
Speaker 2: You had this when you were ten and twelve and

699
00:35:09,080 --> 00:35:10,239
Speaker 2: you didn't know or it.

700
00:35:10,200 --> 00:35:11,160
Speaker 3: Didn't just never, They don't.

701
00:35:11,400 --> 00:35:13,640
Speaker 5: They don't know if it's adult onset or if it's

702
00:35:13,640 --> 00:35:16,520
Speaker 5: something that you don't you know that basically you were

703
00:35:16,560 --> 00:35:19,960
Speaker 5: symptom free until later, or it's like an adult onset allergy.

704
00:35:20,000 --> 00:35:21,840
Speaker 3: And you've probably heard of people who will eat.

705
00:35:22,080 --> 00:35:23,799
Speaker 5: Shrimp or something and all of a sudden they're having

706
00:35:24,040 --> 00:35:25,680
Speaker 5: you know, reaction and they used to eat it all

707
00:35:25,719 --> 00:35:29,160
Speaker 5: the time. So not not really clear. About one percent

708
00:35:29,160 --> 00:35:33,000
Speaker 5: of the population has Celiac disease overall, So I mean.

709
00:35:32,920 --> 00:35:36,960
Speaker 2: It's more prominent like an Irish people is there, Like yeah, it's.

710
00:35:36,880 --> 00:35:40,520
Speaker 5: Western, It's it's it's almost entirely I mean, like I

711
00:35:40,520 --> 00:35:42,239
Speaker 5: can say when I was in China and I was

712
00:35:42,280 --> 00:35:45,080
Speaker 5: trying to I was trying to navigate the cuisine in Beijing,

713
00:35:46,520 --> 00:35:49,320
Speaker 5: the Cilia act, it's just not a thing. You just don't.

714
00:35:49,840 --> 00:35:51,560
Speaker 5: They don't have it in China. Really, it's not a

715
00:35:51,560 --> 00:35:55,600
Speaker 5: thing they ever come across. It's really Western Europeans who

716
00:35:55,960 --> 00:35:59,160
Speaker 5: for whatever reason genetically have have Celiac disease. So yeah,

717
00:35:59,160 --> 00:36:00,280
Speaker 5: it's one of those weird thing things.

718
00:36:01,160 --> 00:36:04,160
Speaker 2: Well, I'm telling you, Buck, at some point, if you

719
00:36:04,200 --> 00:36:07,680
Speaker 2: get a solution, if you get healed, you would love

720
00:36:07,760 --> 00:36:10,960
Speaker 2: raisin canes and the raisin cane sauce. I would inject

721
00:36:10,960 --> 00:36:13,760
Speaker 2: it into my veins. I think it's maybe the greatest

722
00:36:13,800 --> 00:36:15,120
Speaker 2: sauce that's ever existed in.

723
00:36:15,080 --> 00:36:17,759
Speaker 5: That's actually something I thought about, like if I got

724
00:36:17,760 --> 00:36:21,440
Speaker 5: a Hall pass or going all in on the gluten.

725
00:36:22,440 --> 00:36:26,440
Speaker 5: If you're talking fast food, I probably do a breaded,

726
00:36:27,080 --> 00:36:30,040
Speaker 5: salted delicious Chick fil a sandwich.

727
00:36:30,400 --> 00:36:31,320
Speaker 3: That's probably what I go.

728
00:36:31,520 --> 00:36:34,920
Speaker 2: How many people are going straight to get fast food

729
00:36:35,360 --> 00:36:38,320
Speaker 2: just based off this conversation here, This is what happens.

730
00:36:38,320 --> 00:36:40,200
Speaker 3: We get hungry toward the end of the show, I know.

731
00:36:40,400 --> 00:36:42,560
Speaker 5: So we're usually just like, yeah, Clay, you see that

732
00:36:42,640 --> 00:36:47,560
Speaker 5: new story about cheeseburgers and waffle fries is crazy, you know,

733
00:36:47,600 --> 00:36:51,640
Speaker 5: I mean it's branched right for me, eleven to two Central,

734
00:36:51,760 --> 00:36:53,960
