Clay Travis buck Sexton Show. 5 00:00:15,920 --> 00:00:18,440 Speaker 1: And let me just mention that too on the ad front. 6 00:00:19,200 --> 00:00:22,320 Speaker 1: Never see anything like it. We talked about the vibe shift. 7 00:00:22,320 --> 00:00:25,759 Speaker 1: We played that cut for you from White Lotus. The 8 00:00:25,920 --> 00:00:29,120 Speaker 1: number of people were all sold out all over the show. 9 00:00:29,560 --> 00:00:32,400 Speaker 1: The number of advertisers begging to get on this show 10 00:00:32,440 --> 00:00:36,440 Speaker 1: now is crazy. I saw where Lachwin Murdoch was talking 11 00:00:36,440 --> 00:00:39,839 Speaker 1: about it with Fox News. Over one hundred new advertisers. 12 00:00:39,840 --> 00:00:42,960 Speaker 1: We got people throwing money at out kick this show. 13 00:00:43,960 --> 00:00:46,760 Speaker 1: It's like they suddenly realized, oh wait, these guys talk 14 00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:51,480 Speaker 1: to millions of people every day. Most successful radio show 15 00:00:51,520 --> 00:00:54,640 Speaker 1: in terms of profitability, maybe the most successful audio show 16 00:00:54,680 --> 00:00:57,200 Speaker 1: in terms of profitability in the entire country thanks to 17 00:00:57,240 --> 00:01:01,640 Speaker 1: you guys. And they've got a huge audience, and it's 18 00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:05,880 Speaker 1: from all across the spectrum. Unless you're like a crazy 19 00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:09,319 Speaker 1: left winger who believes that men should be able to 20 00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:14,120 Speaker 1: win women's championships, this show basically speaks to you and 21 00:01:14,160 --> 00:01:15,800 Speaker 1: I was thinking about that last night as I got 22 00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:22,000 Speaker 1: ready for bed, about the degree to which Democrats are 23 00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:25,119 Speaker 1: committing political suicide on a level I'm not sure I've 24 00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:28,600 Speaker 1: ever seen before. And let me just give you three examples. 25 00:01:29,240 --> 00:01:35,200 Speaker 1: Last night. Not one single Democrat senator would show up 26 00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:39,800 Speaker 1: to vote and say, hey, men shouldn't be able to 27 00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:44,960 Speaker 1: identify as women and win women's championships. Not one. You 28 00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:47,920 Speaker 1: heard us talk with Senator John Thune, majority leader South 29 00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:52,520 Speaker 1: Dakota in the first hour of the program, and the 30 00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:57,280 Speaker 1: votes weren't there on the Democrat side. Georgians listening to 31 00:01:57,320 --> 00:02:02,600 Speaker 1: me right now, your two Democrats senators said, hey, yes, 32 00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:10,000 Speaker 1: we love men winning women's championships. That's what Georgia believes. Arizona, 33 00:02:10,760 --> 00:02:14,520 Speaker 1: your two Democrat senators, these are states that Trump won. 34 00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:18,040 Speaker 1: That's why I'm signaling them out. They said, yes, you 35 00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:21,720 Speaker 1: know what, we love dudes pretending to be women winning 36 00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:25,720 Speaker 1: women's championships. We need more of this. That's what Arizona 37 00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:31,760 Speaker 1: voted for. Nevada, double Democrat senators, Hey, we need this 38 00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:36,560 Speaker 1: to be happening more often. Trump won your state, Michigan, 39 00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:43,040 Speaker 1: double Democrat senators, Hey, it's great to see dudes winning 40 00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:48,400 Speaker 1: women's sports. It's not just California and New York, is 41 00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:52,440 Speaker 1: my point. I understand that those states have got crazy 42 00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:56,600 Speaker 1: people leading them. I'm talking about the states that Trump won. Fetterman, 43 00:02:56,960 --> 00:03:01,200 Speaker 1: who we talk about as a reasonable guy, Hey, yeah, 44 00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:04,920 Speaker 1: I gotta support men who identify as women being able 45 00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:08,560 Speaker 1: to win women's championships, including the University of Pennsylvania male 46 00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:11,240 Speaker 1: swimmer who flipped over to a female and won an 47 00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:14,320 Speaker 1: NCAA championship a couple of years ago. I think we 48 00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:18,320 Speaker 1: need more of that. It's one thing if it happens 49 00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:27,640 Speaker 1: inside of a left wing state. But Pennsylvania Trump one, 50 00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:32,920 Speaker 1: Trump one, Georgia Trump one, Arizona Trump one, Nevada, Trump one, Michigan. 51 00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:38,480 Speaker 1: All of those Democrat senators, all of them voted in 52 00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:42,240 Speaker 1: favor of this continuing. And also, by the way, in 53 00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:45,960 Speaker 1: Wisconsin me these are real significant issues. The other other 54 00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:49,320 Speaker 1: two I would point to, Hey, you know what we 55 00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:52,880 Speaker 1: need more of waste and fraud in the government. That's 56 00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:57,000 Speaker 1: what Democrats are defending when they are attacking Elon Musk 57 00:03:57,160 --> 00:04:01,119 Speaker 1: and Doge. And remember Elon Musk was even a Democrat. 58 00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:04,440 Speaker 1: I was a Democrat until about six months ago. This 59 00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:08,920 Speaker 1: is just basic common sense eighty twenty issue, and then 60 00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:12,880 Speaker 1: they went after him on Ukraine. Seventy eight percent of 61 00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:17,280 Speaker 1: Americans want to cease fire. Now in Ukraine, you're all logical, 62 00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:20,720 Speaker 1: You're all rational. Trump is on the side of eighty 63 00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:25,159 Speaker 1: percent and three different major issues. I just ran through. 64 00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:28,719 Speaker 1: He wants men out of women's sports, he wants government 65 00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:31,760 Speaker 1: to be more efficient, and he wants peace in Europe. 66 00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:34,800 Speaker 1: And Democrats are taking the other side and arguing that 67 00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:36,960 Speaker 1: he's screwing it up. Now, I'm going to play a 68 00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:39,560 Speaker 1: cut for you of Stephen A. Smith in a moment 69 00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:42,560 Speaker 1: from the view. But let me just hammer this home 70 00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:48,479 Speaker 1: right now. Trump has done nothing wrong in Ukraine in 71 00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:52,760 Speaker 1: his entire political career. All he is trying to do. 72 00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:55,760 Speaker 1: Now we got a new tweet out from Zolensky. Hopefully 73 00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:57,960 Speaker 1: we're going to get a ceasefire and into the war 74 00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:01,800 Speaker 1: sooner rather than later. But all he is trying to 75 00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:08,719 Speaker 1: do is get back to peace and the Uniteds everybody 76 00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:11,880 Speaker 1: out there wants to say Ukraine is all good and 77 00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:14,479 Speaker 1: Russia is all evil. Right, that's the way that we 78 00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:18,960 Speaker 1: have to characterize this thing, because we have to disneify 79 00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:22,840 Speaker 1: every single issue in the world today. You know, what 80 00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:25,680 Speaker 1: I mean by disneyfy. You know how when you're a 81 00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:30,600 Speaker 1: little kid, Disney Movies would decide that an animal, a 82 00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:34,680 Speaker 1: type of animal animal was either good or bad, and 83 00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:38,839 Speaker 1: you would be like, well, snake is bad, a deer's nice. 84 00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:42,839 Speaker 1: And they went out and created a dynamic where you're 85 00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:45,960 Speaker 1: in your head when you're a little kid, Oh, crocodile bad, 86 00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:50,320 Speaker 1: dog good? You know where you're going through and you're 87 00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:53,479 Speaker 1: looking at all these animals and they anthromorphize them. Is 88 00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:54,960 Speaker 1: that the right word? I think it is to give 89 00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:59,839 Speaker 1: them human characteristics. And it's a very disnified way of 90 00:05:59,880 --> 00:06:02,719 Speaker 1: life looking at things such that. If you've raised kids, 91 00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:04,320 Speaker 1: as I have, you may have had a kid or 92 00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:07,240 Speaker 1: grandkid come to you and say something like, hey, are 93 00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:11,159 Speaker 1: are cats good or bad? You know, as if the 94 00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:14,400 Speaker 1: animal itself is innately one or the other. That's how 95 00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:17,880 Speaker 1: we create political dynamics in this day and age. Let 96 00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:20,000 Speaker 1: me give you one that very few people are talking about. 97 00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:24,120 Speaker 1: Instead of talking about Russia and Ukraine, how about we 98 00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:28,760 Speaker 1: point out that American foreign policy failures actually created the 99 00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:32,360 Speaker 1: war in Ukraine. We talked about this a little bit 100 00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:34,880 Speaker 1: in the first hour, but I don't think it gets 101 00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:38,600 Speaker 1: discussed enough the reason why there is a war right 102 00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:41,080 Speaker 1: now in Ukraine. Yes, Putin invaded I wish he had 103 00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:46,040 Speaker 1: not done it. But the vacuum of American leadership and 104 00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:49,159 Speaker 1: the lies that American leaders have told to both Ukraine 105 00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:53,280 Speaker 1: and Russia is what created the dynamic whereby war happens there. 106 00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:57,080 Speaker 1: I'll give you two easy examples to consider. In nineteen 107 00:06:57,120 --> 00:07:03,159 Speaker 1: ninety four, Ukraine had over one thousand, based on my reading, 108 00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:07,680 Speaker 1: nuclear weapons that it had access to. In order to 109 00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:11,000 Speaker 1: get Ukraine to give up those nukes after the collapse 110 00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:14,640 Speaker 1: of the Soviet Union, we entered into an agreement Bill 111 00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:21,160 Speaker 1: Clinton did whereby we provided security guarantees to Ukraine in 112 00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:24,560 Speaker 1: order to give up those nuclear weapons. Ukraine gives up 113 00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:28,960 Speaker 1: the nuclear weapons. America gives a security guarantee. Twenty fourteen. 114 00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:32,760 Speaker 1: Putin invades CRIMEA. We don't do anything. Obama allows it 115 00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:38,640 Speaker 1: to happen, thereby in many ways violating the security guarantee 116 00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:43,560 Speaker 1: that we had given to Ukraine. This is what Zolensky 117 00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:49,240 Speaker 1: is complaining about. Meanwhile, we told Russia in after the 118 00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:54,360 Speaker 1: Berlin Wall came down, Hey, Russia, don't worry, We're not 119 00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:57,800 Speaker 1: going to take your territory and We're not going to 120 00:07:57,840 --> 00:08:00,840 Speaker 1: put NATO right on your border, and then what do 121 00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:04,720 Speaker 1: we do. We allowed all of these different states to 122 00:08:04,920 --> 00:08:08,920 Speaker 1: leave Russia, and then we provided them NATO protection to 123 00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:12,320 Speaker 1: ensure that Russia never tried to take back any of 124 00:08:12,320 --> 00:08:17,000 Speaker 1: that territory. Again, is it any wonder that Russia is 125 00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:21,280 Speaker 1: afraid that Ukraine will also be given NATO protection and 126 00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:25,640 Speaker 1: it will be surrounded by enemy and its words and 127 00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:32,679 Speaker 1: in its view, enemy soldiers. We broke our word to Russia, 128 00:08:33,760 --> 00:08:37,520 Speaker 1: and we broke our word to Ukraine. That by we, 129 00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:39,800 Speaker 1: I mean the United States. Do you know who had 130 00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:43,880 Speaker 1: nothing to do with any of this? Donald Trump? All 131 00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:47,320 Speaker 1: Trump is trying to do now is step into the 132 00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:52,400 Speaker 1: mess created by Bill Clinton, created by Barack Obama, created 133 00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:58,600 Speaker 1: by Joe Biden, and actually bring peace to Europe. Trump is, 134 00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:02,840 Speaker 1: if you insist on a good and evil dynamic. Trump 135 00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:07,079 Speaker 1: is the good guy here, attempting to mediate peace between 136 00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:11,520 Speaker 1: Ukraine and Russia, both of whom we have failed to 137 00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:14,400 Speaker 1: live up to the bargains that we created for them, 138 00:09:14,559 --> 00:09:19,800 Speaker 1: thereby creating a situation that was ripe for conflict. I 139 00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:21,960 Speaker 1: don't know how many people have laid that out for you, 140 00:09:22,559 --> 00:09:26,720 Speaker 1: but I think it's important to contextualize and understand exactly 141 00:09:26,760 --> 00:09:31,360 Speaker 1: what's going on. Trump stacking together a lot of different 142 00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:35,240 Speaker 1: issues that eighty percent of Americans agree with, peace in 143 00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:40,840 Speaker 1: the Middle East, peace in Ukraine, going out and securing 144 00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:45,360 Speaker 1: the Southern border, keeping men out of women's sports. All 145 00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:49,360 Speaker 1: of these things that overwhelming majorities of Americans agree with 146 00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:54,520 Speaker 1: is what led to a landslide. Some are still arguing 147 00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:59,720 Speaker 1: about whether this was a mandate worthy victory. This just 148 00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:04,559 Speaker 1: had happened. On the view Joy bay Are confronted ESPN 149 00:10:04,679 --> 00:10:08,320 Speaker 1: Stephen A. Smith and said, you know, Trump didn't actually 150 00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:12,800 Speaker 1: win much of an election mandate. This is what just 151 00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:15,720 Speaker 1: went down play cut twenty nine. He won the popular 152 00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:19,479 Speaker 1: vote by one point five percent, one of the smallest ever. 153 00:10:19,760 --> 00:10:22,319 Speaker 2: And he won the general election by less than fifty percent. 154 00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:23,720 Speaker 1: So what kind of mandate is this really? 155 00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:26,200 Speaker 2: It is a mandate, and I'm going to explain why 156 00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:29,440 Speaker 2: the man won every swing state. He increased in terms 157 00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:31,720 Speaker 2: of his vot vote to turn out in his favor. 158 00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:36,000 Speaker 2: From the standpoint of Blacks, Latinos, and young voters, he 159 00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:39,679 Speaker 2: increased his numbers in that regard. From twenty twenty, eighty 160 00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:44,320 Speaker 2: nine percent of the counties shifted to the right. That's 161 00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:48,840 Speaker 2: a mandate twenty years after they last won a popular vote. 162 00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:50,280 Speaker 1: They won a popular. 163 00:10:49,960 --> 00:10:52,400 Speaker 2: Vote, they won the electoral college vote, the man won 164 00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:54,520 Speaker 2: every swing state, and on top of all, eighty nine 165 00:10:54,520 --> 00:10:56,120 Speaker 2: percent of the counties shift against. 166 00:10:56,320 --> 00:10:58,360 Speaker 1: I don't understand how people can look at that and 167 00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:04,760 Speaker 1: say there's no mandate of a mandate, I guess joy 168 00:11:04,840 --> 00:11:08,320 Speaker 1: they are put in a body bag. On her own show, 169 00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:14,400 Speaker 1: Stephen A. Smith laying out systematically why Trump has created 170 00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:17,360 Speaker 1: a mandate to win in twenty twenty four. But I 171 00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:19,840 Speaker 1: would argue with you, he has taken the next step 172 00:11:20,280 --> 00:11:25,000 Speaker 1: and actually strung together a series of very popular, not 173 00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:30,800 Speaker 1: particularly partisan perspectives to a lie and move America in 174 00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:34,360 Speaker 1: a better direction. Now, all of that is super positive. 175 00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:37,240 Speaker 1: Let me tell you something. I'm a little bit nervous 176 00:11:37,280 --> 00:11:40,840 Speaker 1: about what is going to happen with the tariff situation. 177 00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:44,000 Speaker 1: Why you say, why are you nervous about that, Clay? 178 00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:49,439 Speaker 1: I am nervous because prices have not come down yet. 179 00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:51,439 Speaker 1: We're still sitting at whatever it is, two and a 180 00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:57,080 Speaker 1: half percent inflation. Many of you still feel it. If 181 00:11:57,240 --> 00:12:01,280 Speaker 1: the terror fight goes on for several months moths, My 182 00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:05,920 Speaker 1: concern is it's going to provide an opening to Democrats 183 00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:10,240 Speaker 1: to try and argue that Trump owns some of the 184 00:12:10,280 --> 00:12:14,080 Speaker 1: cost of goods crisis created by Joe Biden. I'll lay 185 00:12:14,120 --> 00:12:17,480 Speaker 1: that out for you a little bit and discuss it, 186 00:12:17,920 --> 00:12:21,480 Speaker 1: because I believe the number one thing now, border is secure. 187 00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:24,360 Speaker 1: Trump has done an amazing job shutting down the border 188 00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:27,840 Speaker 1: in just one month via executive authority. The number one 189 00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:31,120 Speaker 1: thing I think crime is coming down. We're letting police 190 00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:35,520 Speaker 1: do their jobs again. The number one thing that is 191 00:12:35,559 --> 00:12:43,160 Speaker 1: still out there that most Americans care about, white, Black, Asian, Hispanic, Democrats, Republicans, independents, 192 00:12:43,559 --> 00:12:47,360 Speaker 1: cost of goods. What does the data show on that. 193 00:12:47,559 --> 00:12:49,520 Speaker 1: I'll discuss it for you when I come back in 194 00:12:49,559 --> 00:12:52,600 Speaker 1: the meantime.

The reports out 222 00:14:35,760 --> 00:14:39,600 Speaker 1: there from Reuters are that Trump is going to announce 223 00:14:39,840 --> 00:14:45,840 Speaker 1: a mineral rights deal with Ukraine and Zelenski tonight in 224 00:14:45,920 --> 00:14:52,440 Speaker 1: the joint address before Congress. So Friday afternoon, everybody loses 225 00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:57,280 Speaker 1: their minds. Oh, my goodness, he's a Putin stooge. I'm 226 00:14:57,280 --> 00:15:00,800 Speaker 1: speaking as if I'm a left winger. There he turned 227 00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:07,640 Speaker 1: his back on Zelenski. This is unprecedented. America has shamed itself. 228 00:15:07,680 --> 00:15:12,360 Speaker 1: This is what we were all told Tuesday night. Hey, 229 00:15:12,520 --> 00:15:16,160 Speaker 1: the mineral rights deal has been signed. Instead of Friday, 230 00:15:17,400 --> 00:15:21,040 Speaker 1: Trump gave twenty four forty eight seventy two, not even 231 00:15:21,120 --> 00:15:25,360 Speaker 1: ninety six hours of historyonic reactions, and then what everybody 232 00:15:25,400 --> 00:15:28,680 Speaker 1: expected to happen on Friday is gonna evidently end up 233 00:15:28,760 --> 00:15:33,320 Speaker 1: happening on Tuesday. This is why I always say, just 234 00:15:34,200 --> 00:15:37,240 Speaker 1: chill a little bit now. I do want to play this, 235 00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:39,120 Speaker 1: and then we'll react to it. Also, take some of 236 00:15:39,160 --> 00:15:40,680 Speaker 1: your calls. I don't think we've taken any calls so 237 00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:42,320 Speaker 1: far today. If you went to weigh in eight hundred 238 00:15:42,360 --> 00:15:44,160 Speaker 1: and two a two to two at a two uh. 239 00:15:44,320 --> 00:15:47,400 Speaker 1: This is Harry Enton on CNN saying the number one 240 00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:51,000 Speaker 1: issue at this point that most Americans are concerned about 241 00:15:51,560 --> 00:15:54,680 Speaker 1: cost of goods is Trump focused on it enough. 242 00:15:54,840 --> 00:15:58,240 Speaker 4: Listen, is he prioritizing the economy? Eighty two percent of 243 00:15:58,280 --> 00:16:00,720 Speaker 4: Americans say that's what he should priority. To look at 244 00:16:00,720 --> 00:16:03,880 Speaker 4: the number who say he is, I mean, thirty six percent. 245 00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:06,160 Speaker 4: You don't have to be a mathematical genius to know 246 00:16:06,200 --> 00:16:09,520 Speaker 4: that thirty six is far less than eighty two percent. 247 00:16:09,640 --> 00:16:11,520 Speaker 1: This is a massive problem. 248 00:16:11,160 --> 00:16:13,400 Speaker 4: Because if he was put in charge to fix the economy, 249 00:16:13,480 --> 00:16:16,360 Speaker 4: just thirty six percent say he's prioritizing it. His net 250 00:16:16,400 --> 00:16:18,720 Speaker 4: approval rating on the economy is already at minus four, 251 00:16:18,880 --> 00:16:21,560 Speaker 4: and his overall approval rating is going down. His net 252 00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:24,800 Speaker 4: approval negative in our CNN pull right around zero overall. 253 00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:28,360 Speaker 4: This is no bueno. This is not good. And so 254 00:16:28,400 --> 00:16:30,200 Speaker 4: we'll see if tonight he's able to turn it around 255 00:16:30,240 --> 00:16:32,000 Speaker 4: at all. But concern me a little doubtful. 256 00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:35,880 Speaker 1: Okay, So if I were giving advice to Trump at 257 00:16:35,920 --> 00:16:39,960 Speaker 1: all about tonight's address, he has solved everything at the border. 258 00:16:40,840 --> 00:16:44,120 Speaker 1: He is, as I said to open the show, he's 259 00:16:44,120 --> 00:16:47,880 Speaker 1: on the eighty percent of American side against the Democrats 260 00:16:47,960 --> 00:16:50,400 Speaker 1: on the twenty percent side. On a lot of issues. 261 00:16:51,120 --> 00:16:54,520 Speaker 1: I would suggest that right now is the time to 262 00:16:54,680 --> 00:16:58,760 Speaker 1: pivot and focus. Almost one hundred percent on cost of goods. 263 00:16:59,400 --> 00:17:03,080 Speaker 1: And that is why the tariff decision is just confusing 264 00:17:03,120 --> 00:17:07,360 Speaker 1: in that dynamic, because I don't think people really understand 265 00:17:07,400 --> 00:17:11,119 Speaker 1: the economic impact of tariffs, and when they don't, you 266 00:17:11,320 --> 00:17:14,120 Speaker 1: just end up with a lot of noise. What they 267 00:17:14,200 --> 00:17:18,120 Speaker 1: recognize is when the price of gas goes down, it's 268 00:17:18,240 --> 00:17:21,520 Speaker 1: under three dollars now in my neighborhood, I know, I 269 00:17:21,560 --> 00:17:23,360 Speaker 1: got to fill up my car, just like you've got 270 00:17:23,359 --> 00:17:27,439 Speaker 1: to fill up your car. I believe what is embedded 271 00:17:27,480 --> 00:17:31,160 Speaker 1: here that has the potential to be really, really successful 272 00:17:31,720 --> 00:17:35,560 Speaker 1: is ending the war in Ukraine would unlock a lot 273 00:17:35,600 --> 00:17:39,720 Speaker 1: of Russian gas that otherwise we are technically not able 274 00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:43,639 Speaker 1: to buy. And when that happens, the cost of a 275 00:17:43,720 --> 00:17:46,879 Speaker 1: gallon of gas is going to come down and act 276 00:17:47,080 --> 00:17:52,240 Speaker 1: as a much more affordable aspect of everything because the 277 00:17:52,320 --> 00:17:55,600 Speaker 1: cost of oil is embedded in the cost of everything. 278 00:17:55,640 --> 00:17:57,200 Speaker 1: I'll talk about that a little bit more. We'll take 279 00:17:57,200 --> 00:17:58,880 Speaker 1: some of your calls when we come back. In the meantime. 280 00:17:59,359 --> 00:18:02,520 Speaker 1: I love generational family businesses that are working to make 281 00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:07,480 Speaker 1: your family. Also.

Welcome back in Clay, Travis Buck Sexton show. 287 00:18:30,560 --> 00:18:33,000 Speaker 1: A lot of you want to weigh in on a 288 00:18:33,080 --> 00:18:35,760 Speaker 1: variety of different topics. I wanted to give a shout 289 00:18:35,760 --> 00:18:38,720 Speaker 1: out here. By the way, I saw this quote from 290 00:18:38,800 --> 00:18:43,960 Speaker 1: Charles Barkley yesterday. Charles Barkley, of course, the star NBA 291 00:18:43,960 --> 00:18:48,760 Speaker 1: player formerly who now is a media prognosticator. I think 292 00:18:48,800 --> 00:18:52,000 Speaker 1: he's probably the most talented TV guy in media today. 293 00:18:52,840 --> 00:18:55,879 Speaker 1: He said this about I've been talking about the vibe 294 00:18:55,880 --> 00:18:57,879 Speaker 1: shift along with Buck. By the way, Buck, we'll be 295 00:18:57,920 --> 00:19:00,920 Speaker 1: back with me tomorrow. He's traveling right now. We've got 296 00:19:00,960 --> 00:19:07,480 Speaker 1: meetings in Nashville with advertisers tomorrow. But the vibe shift 297 00:19:07,520 --> 00:19:10,119 Speaker 1: is real. We played a clip for you from HBO 298 00:19:10,280 --> 00:19:14,239 Speaker 1: from the White Lotus. We played Steven A. Smith on 299 00:19:14,359 --> 00:19:17,720 Speaker 1: the View putting Joy Behar in a body bag on 300 00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:20,760 Speaker 1: her own show. I thought this was interesting from Charles 301 00:19:20,800 --> 00:19:24,040 Speaker 1: Barkley yesterday, and I'm reading a quote from him because 302 00:19:24,040 --> 00:19:26,959 Speaker 1: I haven't seen the audio. Greg. See if you can 303 00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:30,480 Speaker 1: maybe track down the audio on this and maybe we 304 00:19:30,520 --> 00:19:33,040 Speaker 1: could play it at some point this week. But he 305 00:19:33,119 --> 00:19:36,000 Speaker 1: was talking about how remember the controversy over whether the 306 00:19:36,080 --> 00:19:40,120 Speaker 1: Eagles were gonna visit the White House or not. Philadelphia 307 00:19:40,200 --> 00:19:42,560 Speaker 1: Eagles who just won the Super Bowl. There was a 308 00:19:42,640 --> 00:19:45,800 Speaker 1: report that they weren't. Then a report and I talked 309 00:19:45,800 --> 00:19:47,399 Speaker 1: to the White House and they said no, no, no, 310 00:19:47,440 --> 00:19:50,120 Speaker 1: that's not true. And then it comes out, Oh, they're 311 00:19:50,160 --> 00:19:52,159 Speaker 1: gonna come and they're gonna be honored. But it was 312 00:19:52,200 --> 00:19:54,600 Speaker 1: a huge story that blew up and a lot of 313 00:19:54,640 --> 00:19:56,919 Speaker 1: people reacted to it. Here's what Charles Barkley had to 314 00:19:56,920 --> 00:19:59,280 Speaker 1: say reacting to that. I don't and I agree with 315 00:19:59,320 --> 00:20:02,240 Speaker 1: him one hundred percent. Let me preface this with I 316 00:20:02,240 --> 00:20:04,720 Speaker 1: don't care who the president is. He's the President of 317 00:20:04,720 --> 00:20:08,000 Speaker 1: the United States. It bothered me the last ten years 318 00:20:08,040 --> 00:20:11,479 Speaker 1: they're like, well, I'm not going because this certain person 319 00:20:11,560 --> 00:20:14,840 Speaker 1: is president. Dude, it's the President of the United States. 320 00:20:15,200 --> 00:20:18,199 Speaker 1: Even though I disagree with President Trump on some things, 321 00:20:18,280 --> 00:20:20,680 Speaker 1: if I met him, I would still give him the 322 00:20:20,800 --> 00:20:24,720 Speaker 1: respect and dignity he deserves. We can disagree, but it 323 00:20:24,840 --> 00:20:27,320 Speaker 1: bothers me when these teams don't want to go to 324 00:20:27,359 --> 00:20:30,760 Speaker 1: the White House. I'm just disappointed we got so divided. 325 00:20:31,040 --> 00:20:33,480 Speaker 1: Where did we get to as a country when we're like, 326 00:20:33,720 --> 00:20:35,800 Speaker 1: we're not going to the White House. We don't like 327 00:20:35,840 --> 00:20:40,360 Speaker 1: who's in there. That's just stupid. I think that's well 328 00:20:40,359 --> 00:20:44,880 Speaker 1: said by Charles Barkley. I've said this before. If Joe 329 00:20:44,880 --> 00:20:47,280 Speaker 1: Biden had invited me to the White House, I would 330 00:20:47,280 --> 00:20:49,960 Speaker 1: have gone. I understand some of you out there might 331 00:20:49,960 --> 00:20:52,440 Speaker 1: have been upset. I would have gone in and given 332 00:20:52,520 --> 00:20:55,560 Speaker 1: him my advice. Trump has invited me to the White 333 00:20:55,560 --> 00:20:58,560 Speaker 1: House before I've been there. Trump has invited Buck to 334 00:20:58,600 --> 00:21:01,159 Speaker 1: the White House before we've both been in the Oval 335 00:21:01,200 --> 00:21:04,280 Speaker 1: Office and visited with the President. It's an incredible privilege. 336 00:21:04,720 --> 00:21:06,880 Speaker 1: But it's an incredible privilege to be able to meet 337 00:21:06,920 --> 00:21:10,960 Speaker 1: with the president for any reason. So I'm old fashioned 338 00:21:10,960 --> 00:21:14,359 Speaker 1: in that respect. If I won a Super Bowl, or 339 00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:18,040 Speaker 1: if I won an NBA championship or a college championship, 340 00:21:18,840 --> 00:21:21,480 Speaker 1: major League Baseball, we just had the Florida Panthers there, 341 00:21:21,680 --> 00:21:25,480 Speaker 1: I would go with a heartbeat. I went to college 342 00:21:25,520 --> 00:21:29,080 Speaker 1: at GW. We stood in line to be able to 343 00:21:29,080 --> 00:21:32,600 Speaker 1: go just walk through and tour the White House. Some 344 00:21:32,680 --> 00:21:35,000 Speaker 1: of you probably have been fortunate enough to do that. 345 00:21:37,240 --> 00:21:40,720 Speaker 1: The opportunity as an American to visit the White House, 346 00:21:41,240 --> 00:21:43,879 Speaker 1: shake the hand of the President, even if you disagree 347 00:21:43,920 --> 00:21:48,480 Speaker 1: with them, I think is something that should be unifying Democrat, Republican, Independent. 348 00:21:48,520 --> 00:21:52,800 Speaker 1: I think Charles Barkley is right about it. Okay, several 349 00:21:52,800 --> 00:21:54,919 Speaker 1: different things, a lot of you want to weigh in on. 350 00:21:55,800 --> 00:21:58,760 Speaker 1: Let's go take some of your calls. Mark in Virginia, 351 00:21:58,800 --> 00:21:59,479 Speaker 1: What you got for us? 352 00:21:59,480 --> 00:21:59,720 Speaker 5: Mark? 353 00:22:02,280 --> 00:22:03,800 Speaker 6: Hey, Clay, what's going on on? 354 00:22:04,760 --> 00:22:06,639 Speaker 1: I just live in the dream here, Mark, what you 355 00:22:06,680 --> 00:22:07,200 Speaker 1: got for us? 356 00:22:07,480 --> 00:22:07,680 Speaker 4: Oh? 357 00:22:08,119 --> 00:22:09,040 Speaker 7: Great, great job. 358 00:22:09,200 --> 00:22:11,640 Speaker 6: Russia be proud of you guys. You and buck off. 359 00:22:13,560 --> 00:22:14,959 Speaker 5: Real quick of course. 360 00:22:15,040 --> 00:22:15,240 Speaker 4: Ah. 361 00:22:15,440 --> 00:22:19,960 Speaker 6: The the deal with the mineral deal, No, real shocker there, 362 00:22:20,760 --> 00:22:24,080 Speaker 6: art of the deal. He is the master magician when 363 00:22:24,080 --> 00:22:27,720 Speaker 6: it comes to deal making, you know, and fake news 364 00:22:27,800 --> 00:22:31,440 Speaker 6: media is going to jump all over whatever they can 365 00:22:31,960 --> 00:22:34,760 Speaker 6: to you know, create a narrative that drives you know, 366 00:22:34,920 --> 00:22:38,280 Speaker 6: a lot of low information voters. Well, anyway, getting back 367 00:22:38,320 --> 00:22:41,120 Speaker 6: to what you were talking about. The economy, Yes, okay, 368 00:22:41,160 --> 00:22:45,680 Speaker 6: here we go. Trump will certainly mention the economy. It's 369 00:22:45,720 --> 00:22:49,080 Speaker 6: certainly on the top of his priority list as usual. 370 00:22:49,600 --> 00:22:52,840 Speaker 6: But although he may get gig for it, who are 371 00:22:52,880 --> 00:22:57,359 Speaker 6: we yet? Once again waiting on Congress, the House in 372 00:22:57,400 --> 00:23:02,320 Speaker 6: the city. Can they ever get together to do anything right? 373 00:23:03,320 --> 00:23:06,880 Speaker 6: Here's my opinion, and watch it all play out. 374 00:23:06,880 --> 00:23:07,520 Speaker 5: To be true. 375 00:23:08,280 --> 00:23:11,000 Speaker 6: I think it ends on March fifteenth, or the government 376 00:23:11,040 --> 00:23:15,600 Speaker 6: shutdown so low at the March fourteenth and finally rush 377 00:23:15,680 --> 00:23:18,520 Speaker 6: in this deal or whatever something that they could have 378 00:23:18,560 --> 00:23:20,960 Speaker 6: done a month ago. You know, what have they been 379 00:23:20,960 --> 00:23:23,240 Speaker 6: doing the last month? You know, all they do is 380 00:23:23,600 --> 00:23:27,040 Speaker 6: bicker with each other that you know, somebody's ice cream 381 00:23:27,119 --> 00:23:31,080 Speaker 6: cone is bigger than somebody else's, so let's have a 382 00:23:31,160 --> 00:23:33,000 Speaker 6: forty five day fight about that. 383 00:23:34,040 --> 00:23:36,560 Speaker 1: Thank you for the call. I agree on the government shutdown. 384 00:23:36,640 --> 00:23:39,040 Speaker 1: And if you listen to this show, Buck and I 385 00:23:39,160 --> 00:23:42,159 Speaker 1: have consistently told you the government's going to get funded. 386 00:23:42,920 --> 00:23:44,800 Speaker 1: The government is not a lot of you out there. 387 00:23:44,800 --> 00:23:45,000 Speaker 7: Really. 388 00:23:45,080 --> 00:23:47,320 Speaker 1: I wish more of the government would get shut down, certainly, 389 00:23:47,400 --> 00:23:50,520 Speaker 1: I understand that, but I feel like the government shutdown 390 00:23:50,640 --> 00:23:57,360 Speaker 1: story is maybe the most overplayed narrative arc out there 391 00:23:57,400 --> 00:23:59,560 Speaker 1: in politics. Right now. Oh my goodness, it's going to 392 00:23:59,600 --> 00:24:01,960 Speaker 1: be shut down out and then it gets resolved. Bill 393 00:24:02,040 --> 00:24:03,440 Speaker 1: and Maryland. What you got for us? 394 00:24:05,720 --> 00:24:06,000 Speaker 5: Hello? 395 00:24:07,720 --> 00:24:09,040 Speaker 1: Yeah, you're with us? What you got? 396 00:24:09,200 --> 00:24:12,800 Speaker 5: Okay? Sorry? Sorry? The reason that I called. I heard 397 00:24:13,080 --> 00:24:16,159 Speaker 5: Senator Soon on your show earlier today, and I was 398 00:24:16,200 --> 00:24:19,280 Speaker 5: just I was so flabbergasted that I couldn't believe what 399 00:24:19,320 --> 00:24:22,040 Speaker 5: I was hearing because essentially, and correct me if I'm wrong, 400 00:24:22,720 --> 00:24:26,160 Speaker 5: he said, forget about We've got something from Canada or whatever. 401 00:24:26,200 --> 00:24:28,280 Speaker 5: And that's why we'd run the Senate the way we 402 00:24:28,320 --> 00:24:32,639 Speaker 5: do today at any rate. He basically, with the sixteen 403 00:24:32,720 --> 00:24:37,919 Speaker 5: votes required given today and actually the last dozen years 404 00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:43,760 Speaker 5: or more, the way we're so divided, there's virtually no 405 00:24:43,960 --> 00:24:46,760 Speaker 5: chance of the Senate doing anything worthwhile. 406 00:24:47,520 --> 00:24:50,120 Speaker 1: Thank you for the call. Yeah, no, and I think 407 00:24:50,160 --> 00:24:53,080 Speaker 1: that's important. We had Senator John thunea on and I 408 00:24:53,160 --> 00:24:55,560 Speaker 1: wanted him to explain to all of you, because I 409 00:24:55,560 --> 00:25:00,280 Speaker 1: do think it's frustrating Senate majority fifty three votes. There 410 00:25:00,280 --> 00:25:03,600 Speaker 1: are certain things that a Senate majority can do. They 411 00:25:03,640 --> 00:25:07,240 Speaker 1: can confirm President Trump's cabinet nominees, as they buy in 412 00:25:07,359 --> 00:25:09,439 Speaker 1: large have done, and frankly, as they've done in a 413 00:25:09,480 --> 00:25:15,560 Speaker 1: fairly rapid fashion. They could if there were a death 414 00:25:15,760 --> 00:25:19,480 Speaker 1: or a resignation, they could put a new Supreme Court 415 00:25:19,640 --> 00:25:23,760 Speaker 1: justice in with a majority. Remember, because Harry Reid changed 416 00:25:23,800 --> 00:25:27,080 Speaker 1: that rule and Mitch McConnell remembers said, you may end 417 00:25:27,119 --> 00:25:29,560 Speaker 1: up regretting this sooner rather than later, and he did, 418 00:25:29,920 --> 00:25:33,240 Speaker 1: because now a simple majority puts someone on the Supreme 419 00:25:33,240 --> 00:25:36,560 Speaker 1: Court what they cannot do. And I thought this was important, 420 00:25:36,600 --> 00:25:38,199 Speaker 1: and he laid it out. I'd encourage you to go 421 00:25:38,320 --> 00:25:41,879 Speaker 1: listen to the first hour of the podcast because he 422 00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:45,520 Speaker 1: kind of laid it out in great detail. Outside of 423 00:25:45,560 --> 00:25:51,000 Speaker 1: the budget reconciliation process, which can pass with a simple majority, 424 00:25:51,760 --> 00:25:56,119 Speaker 1: almost every bill in order to clear the Senate needs 425 00:25:56,160 --> 00:26:01,360 Speaker 1: sixty votes. That means with fifty three repat Republicans, even 426 00:26:01,440 --> 00:26:05,040 Speaker 1: if you get all fifty three, you need seven Democrats 427 00:26:05,080 --> 00:26:08,040 Speaker 1: to sign on in order to get anything through the 428 00:26:08,080 --> 00:26:12,000 Speaker 1: Senate by and large. And so the result is John 429 00:26:12,040 --> 00:26:15,720 Speaker 1: Thune was just being honest with everybody. Unless you have sixty, 430 00:26:16,240 --> 00:26:20,320 Speaker 1: the Democrats can obstruct many of the things that the 431 00:26:20,400 --> 00:26:23,720 Speaker 1: Senate wants to pass, including as we started off the 432 00:26:23,720 --> 00:26:28,320 Speaker 1: show discussing the men not being allowed to compete in 433 00:26:28,400 --> 00:26:32,120 Speaker 1: women's sports, Ted and Florida, what you got for us? 434 00:26:33,840 --> 00:26:34,520 Speaker 7: How anybody? 435 00:26:34,960 --> 00:26:35,920 Speaker 1: I'm great? How are y'all? 436 00:26:36,760 --> 00:26:40,960 Speaker 7: Hey man great? In the last twelve years of my life, 437 00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:47,480 Speaker 7: I've been living this, you know, family, Liberal Republican. My 438 00:26:47,560 --> 00:26:51,719 Speaker 7: oldest son went to NYU and got indoctrinated and became 439 00:26:52,080 --> 00:26:56,320 Speaker 7: trans and at the time, I just didn't understand what 440 00:26:56,400 --> 00:27:03,120 Speaker 7: was going on. And his younger other was telling me, oh, Dad, 441 00:27:03,760 --> 00:27:07,760 Speaker 7: it's just a fad, don't worry about it. And I'm like, well, okay, 442 00:27:08,040 --> 00:27:10,679 Speaker 7: that fad is. You know, I kind of missed my 443 00:27:10,800 --> 00:27:13,440 Speaker 7: son and I don't have any say in this at all. 444 00:27:13,520 --> 00:27:16,560 Speaker 7: I'm just you know, as a parent, you just love 445 00:27:16,600 --> 00:27:18,560 Speaker 7: your kid, right, shoot him like an arrow and just 446 00:27:18,640 --> 00:27:19,000 Speaker 7: love him. 447 00:27:19,560 --> 00:27:19,800 Speaker 1: Yep. 448 00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:27,320 Speaker 7: And so now now he's she's de transitioning. You know, 449 00:27:27,359 --> 00:27:31,720 Speaker 7: I went through a divorce liberal woman. Now I'm happily 450 00:27:31,760 --> 00:27:35,920 Speaker 7: married last ten years to a Republican woman, very happily, 451 00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:40,080 Speaker 7: you know, no drama. I don't mean any disrespect to anybody, 452 00:27:40,080 --> 00:27:43,639 Speaker 7: but I feel like my my life's just been a 453 00:27:43,760 --> 00:27:45,280 Speaker 7: movie the last twelve years. 454 00:27:45,320 --> 00:27:47,800 Speaker 1: So what happened? So I hope I'm glad that you 455 00:27:47,880 --> 00:27:50,440 Speaker 1: and your personal life are making decisions that are getting 456 00:27:50,440 --> 00:27:53,440 Speaker 1: you happier. So what's happened with your son that decided 457 00:27:53,480 --> 00:27:54,679 Speaker 1: he wanted to transition. 458 00:27:56,560 --> 00:28:01,320 Speaker 7: Yeah, it's a great question. You know, we tech very lovingly. 459 00:28:02,040 --> 00:28:07,320 Speaker 7: We don't we don't have a huge relationship. I wish 460 00:28:07,400 --> 00:28:10,600 Speaker 7: we did have a better relationship, but I'm just waiting 461 00:28:10,680 --> 00:28:15,359 Speaker 7: for her or or him, you know, to to just 462 00:28:15,600 --> 00:28:18,560 Speaker 7: I've tried to go visit you know, several times and 463 00:28:18,920 --> 00:28:20,680 Speaker 7: it just wasn't the right time or you know, it 464 00:28:20,760 --> 00:28:23,200 Speaker 7: wasn't going to work, or so. 465 00:28:26,080 --> 00:28:26,640 Speaker 5: I'm not sure. 466 00:28:28,280 --> 00:28:31,399 Speaker 1: Great, Well, thank you for the call, and we wish 467 00:28:31,440 --> 00:28:34,840 Speaker 1: you the best on your relationships with your kids. I 468 00:28:34,840 --> 00:28:36,719 Speaker 1: think there are people out there who have dealt with 469 00:28:36,800 --> 00:28:42,520 Speaker 1: this unfortunately, and it's very challenging in your own families 470 00:28:44,640 --> 00:28:49,360 Speaker 1: because the data reflects again, the data large scale, not 471 00:28:49,520 --> 00:28:55,200 Speaker 1: your individual life circumstance. The data reflects that most people 472 00:28:55,240 --> 00:29:01,959 Speaker 1: who are interested in gender transition are profound unhappy. And 473 00:29:02,120 --> 00:29:05,240 Speaker 1: if you remember a time when you and your own 474 00:29:05,280 --> 00:29:09,360 Speaker 1: life might have been profoundly unhappy, sometimes you feel like 475 00:29:09,400 --> 00:29:13,560 Speaker 1: you need to do something drastic in order to alter 476 00:29:13,720 --> 00:29:18,800 Speaker 1: the trajectory of your life. The data often reflects that 477 00:29:18,960 --> 00:29:22,680 Speaker 1: when you do something like hey, I was a boy, 478 00:29:22,760 --> 00:29:26,400 Speaker 1: now I'm a girl, that a lot of times that 479 00:29:26,520 --> 00:29:30,240 Speaker 1: drastic change isn't what's going to make you happier in 480 00:29:30,280 --> 00:29:33,440 Speaker 1: your life. And I'm far from a life coach. I 481 00:29:33,480 --> 00:29:36,480 Speaker 1: screw up things all the time. Like all of you, 482 00:29:37,560 --> 00:29:42,360 Speaker 1: I am imperfect in all facets. But I do think 483 00:29:42,400 --> 00:29:47,440 Speaker 1: in general, the idea of drastic change is going to 484 00:29:47,600 --> 00:29:53,360 Speaker 1: suddenly move me from super unhappy to super happy is appealing, 485 00:29:54,840 --> 00:30:00,040 Speaker 1: but oftentimes not necessarily based on the data. Again and 486 00:30:00,600 --> 00:30:06,240 Speaker 1: what actually makes someone happy. And look, I'm getting on 487 00:30:06,240 --> 00:30:09,520 Speaker 1: my soapbox here. I also just think one of the 488 00:30:10,760 --> 00:30:13,240 Speaker 1: challenges I think of parenting in general, and I'm sure 489 00:30:13,240 --> 00:30:16,160 Speaker 1: for a lot of you who are grandparenting too, we've 490 00:30:16,200 --> 00:30:19,320 Speaker 1: sort of created this world where kids think if they're 491 00:30:19,480 --> 00:30:24,440 Speaker 1: unhappy that something is wrong with them, You're not always 492 00:30:24,480 --> 00:30:29,080 Speaker 1: going to be happy. Sometimes bad things happen and they 493 00:30:29,120 --> 00:30:33,400 Speaker 1: can depress you for a period of time. I saw 494 00:30:33,440 --> 00:30:36,600 Speaker 1: where Trump There was a clip going viral of Donald Trump, 495 00:30:36,680 --> 00:30:39,440 Speaker 1: and I thought it was actually really good advice. He 496 00:30:39,520 --> 00:30:43,120 Speaker 1: said for him, the best cure for depression was working really, 497 00:30:43,160 --> 00:30:46,440 Speaker 1: really hard, because then you don't have as much time 498 00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:51,120 Speaker 1: to marinate on things that you're unhappy about. Now, everybody 499 00:30:51,160 --> 00:30:53,880 Speaker 1: is different. I'm not saying there's a one size fits 500 00:30:53,960 --> 00:30:57,600 Speaker 1: all aspect, but this is why, in general, I'm skeptical 501 00:30:57,800 --> 00:31:02,360 Speaker 1: of the prescription drug universe because I think what they 502 00:31:02,440 --> 00:31:04,880 Speaker 1: sell is, Oh, if you just take this pill, you'll 503 00:31:04,880 --> 00:31:08,840 Speaker 1: be fine. I don't buy that. I think it's a 504 00:31:08,880 --> 00:31:11,800 Speaker 1: good business model for them. Hey, if you have to 505 00:31:11,800 --> 00:31:14,360 Speaker 1: take this pill every day for the rest of your life, 506 00:31:14,440 --> 00:31:17,600 Speaker 1: and you're otherwise concerned that if you don't, you're going 507 00:31:17,640 --> 00:31:21,040 Speaker 1: to be unhappy, I understand why it makes sense from 508 00:31:21,120 --> 00:31:25,560 Speaker 1: business perspective. I'm just skeptical. I'm a skeptic in general 509 00:31:25,960 --> 00:31:28,600 Speaker 1: when it comes to and my wife picks on me 510 00:31:28,640 --> 00:31:30,520 Speaker 1: over this sometimes, Like I don't even like taking tile 511 00:31:30,560 --> 00:31:34,080 Speaker 1: and all, right, prescription drugs, I don't take any of them. 512 00:31:34,680 --> 00:31:37,640 Speaker 1: Tile and all. I don't like to take it, you know, 513 00:31:37,840 --> 00:31:42,040 Speaker 1: like natural supplements, those kind of things. Okay, eat healthy, 514 00:31:42,520 --> 00:31:46,120 Speaker 1: try to get to sleep best you can, you know. 515 00:31:46,200 --> 00:31:48,200 Speaker 1: Like I'm old school. I like the guy who doesn't 516 00:31:48,240 --> 00:31:50,160 Speaker 1: want to wear batting gloves. Just give me a wooden 517 00:31:50,200 --> 00:31:52,000 Speaker 1: bat I'll get up and I'll try to make my had. 518 00:31:52,320 --> 00:31:55,040 Speaker 1: I do think we sell to kids. Now, Hey, are 519 00:31:55,080 --> 00:31:58,000 Speaker 1: you a little uncomfortable, Let me fix it this way. 520 00:31:58,920 --> 00:32:03,000 Speaker 1: And as a result, I personally believe we are wildly 521 00:32:03,080 --> 00:32:07,480 Speaker 1: over medicated, and certainly for young kids, we give them 522 00:32:07,560 --> 00:32:11,360 Speaker 1: way too much medicine. Again, my personal opinion everybody's different. 523 00:32:11,760 --> 00:32:13,360 Speaker 1: Conrad in Wisconsin, what. 524 00:32:13,360 --> 00:32:15,560 Speaker 8: You got, Hey, how's it going today? 525 00:32:15,600 --> 00:32:15,959 Speaker 7: Guys? 526 00:32:16,520 --> 00:32:17,719 Speaker 1: We're doing fantastic. 527 00:32:18,880 --> 00:32:19,120 Speaker 5: Hey. 528 00:32:19,120 --> 00:32:22,760 Speaker 8: Two things real quick. On the inflation front, I work 529 00:32:22,800 --> 00:32:25,160 Speaker 8: in pricing, so I'm aware of how shipping costs can 530 00:32:25,200 --> 00:32:30,040 Speaker 8: impact food prices, etc. I really think the President needs 531 00:32:30,040 --> 00:32:32,840 Speaker 8: to get the excise tackers for fuel tax taken off 532 00:32:32,840 --> 00:32:33,360 Speaker 8: a diesel. 533 00:32:34,120 --> 00:32:34,960 Speaker 5: It just gets. 534 00:32:34,760 --> 00:32:37,440 Speaker 8: Passed on anyway. Okay, So that's one thing. I think 535 00:32:37,440 --> 00:32:40,200 Speaker 8: that'd be big. Shipping costs would come down if that 536 00:32:40,240 --> 00:32:43,480 Speaker 8: would happen, per mile costs would come down. Number two, 537 00:32:43,520 --> 00:32:46,080 Speaker 8: I think he has to get and make this high 538 00:32:46,160 --> 00:32:51,760 Speaker 8: profile visit of retailers and big food company executives coming 539 00:32:51,800 --> 00:32:54,920 Speaker 8: to the White House and rally these guys to get 540 00:32:54,920 --> 00:32:58,360 Speaker 8: food prices down. To get prices down, even if it 541 00:32:58,400 --> 00:33:01,080 Speaker 8: doesn't work that much, she's got to be seen as 542 00:33:01,120 --> 00:33:04,720 Speaker 8: publicly trying to get prices down. He's not doing that 543 00:33:04,800 --> 00:33:06,720 Speaker 8: right now, and I think he needs to start. 544 00:33:06,840 --> 00:33:09,600 Speaker 1: So thank you for the call. I think if I 545 00:33:09,640 --> 00:33:11,480 Speaker 1: were giving advice to the White House at this point 546 00:33:11,520 --> 00:33:13,760 Speaker 1: in time, they've been amazing on the border. They've picked 547 00:33:13,800 --> 00:33:17,560 Speaker 1: a lot of eighty twenty issues. I would maniacally at 548 00:33:17,560 --> 00:33:20,560 Speaker 1: this point, assuming we get that mineral rights deal signed 549 00:33:20,560 --> 00:33:22,680 Speaker 1: with Ukraine and we can get a ceasefire there, I'd 550 00:33:22,680 --> 00:33:24,600 Speaker 1: like to keep the ceasefire in the Middle East again. 551 00:33:25,000 --> 00:33:27,120 Speaker 1: The first forty days of his term in office, I 552 00:33:27,120 --> 00:33:29,120 Speaker 1: think is maybe the greatest forty days I've ever seen 553 00:33:29,160 --> 00:33:31,920 Speaker 1: from any president. But if I were giving advice at 554 00:33:31,920 --> 00:33:34,560 Speaker 1: this point, I think the number one thing that people 555 00:33:34,640 --> 00:33:37,640 Speaker 1: care about now, because we've solved the border to a 556 00:33:37,720 --> 00:33:40,520 Speaker 1: large extent, if we can keep the ceasefire in the 557 00:33:40,520 --> 00:33:44,000 Speaker 1: Middle East and in Europe, we have ended two huge 558 00:33:44,160 --> 00:33:49,959 Speaker 1: global conflagrations, is now price of goods. I would maniacally 559 00:33:50,000 --> 00:33:52,040 Speaker 1: focus on price of goods if I were giving Trump 560 00:33:52,400 --> 00:33:54,640 Speaker 1: advice price picks. Let me tell you right now, as 561 00:33:54,640 --> 00:33:56,840 Speaker 1: we get ready to go into the last segment of 562 00:33:56,920 --> 00:34:00,640 Speaker 1: the show, March madness is here.
