1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,320 Speaker 1: Welcome to today's edition of the Clay Travis and Buck 2 00:00:03,360 --> 00:00:09,160 Speaker 1: Sexton Show podcast. Welcome in Clay Travis buck Sexton Show. 3 00:00:09,200 --> 00:00:11,440 Speaker 1: I appreciate all of you hanging out with us. We 4 00:00:11,560 --> 00:00:17,000 Speaker 1: roll through the Wednesday edition of the program. Gas prices, buck, 5 00:00:17,400 --> 00:00:20,880 Speaker 1: are not cheap. Everybody out there listening to us right now, 6 00:00:20,920 --> 00:00:23,880 Speaker 1: as you drive around your different states, your different cities 7 00:00:24,480 --> 00:00:26,439 Speaker 1: and go to fill up at the pump, you have 8 00:00:26,560 --> 00:00:30,520 Speaker 1: probably noticed that gas prices, after coming down during the summer, 9 00:00:30,920 --> 00:00:34,199 Speaker 1: are now headed back up and that is probably going 10 00:00:34,240 --> 00:00:36,240 Speaker 1: to get worse. Let me give you a quick little 11 00:00:36,320 --> 00:00:39,559 Speaker 1: rundown of what happened. Joe Biden came into office, gave 12 00:00:39,640 --> 00:00:41,960 Speaker 1: into the Green New Deal, and effectively decided we do 13 00:00:42,080 --> 00:00:45,440 Speaker 1: not gee independent in the United States of America anymore. 14 00:00:45,880 --> 00:00:48,760 Speaker 1: He shut down, to a large extent, our ability to 15 00:00:48,880 --> 00:00:53,680 Speaker 1: produce large amounts of oil and gas, in particular the 16 00:00:53,760 --> 00:00:56,360 Speaker 1: Keystone Pipeline, which would have been bringing around eight hundred 17 00:00:56,360 --> 00:01:00,400 Speaker 1: thousand barrels of oil and gas into the marketplace shortly 18 00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:03,280 Speaker 1: early next year if if it had been completed. Instead 19 00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:06,959 Speaker 1: shot it down. He has not been very expansive. We 20 00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:09,240 Speaker 1: talked about this. Buck Wall Street Journal had a front 21 00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:13,759 Speaker 1: page discussion about how Biden had provided the fewest oil 22 00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:18,560 Speaker 1: and gas leasing opportunities of any president, basically going back 23 00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:21,480 Speaker 1: to the point when we began to create oil and 24 00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:26,640 Speaker 1: gas in substantial numbers fifty sixty years ago in this country. Then, 25 00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:29,920 Speaker 1: despite the fact that he was not allowing the United 26 00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:34,000 Speaker 1: States to unleash its full fruition of oil and gas 27 00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:37,360 Speaker 1: related production capabilities, he traveled all the way to the 28 00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:40,119 Speaker 1: Middle East. This guy who basically doesn't go anywhere except 29 00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:43,280 Speaker 1: the Ukraine border in his beach house, traveled all the 30 00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:47,760 Speaker 1: way to the Middle East and he begged the Saudis 31 00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:53,440 Speaker 1: to please produce more oil. He fist bumped MBS Mohammed 32 00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:57,639 Speaker 1: been Salomon, who he had previously called a pariahs state 33 00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:01,920 Speaker 1: and tried to isolate on the world stage. He basically 34 00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:04,320 Speaker 1: got down on his hands and knees and begged for 35 00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:07,800 Speaker 1: the Saudis to produce more oil because the United States 36 00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:13,280 Speaker 1: wasn't able to handle it's all over global impact based 37 00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:16,600 Speaker 1: on the what he tried to blame the Russia invasion 38 00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:22,040 Speaker 1: of Ukraine. And then earlier today, if you haven't heard, OPEC, 39 00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:27,440 Speaker 1: mostly run by the Saudis, decided to cut production of 40 00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:34,160 Speaker 1: oil by two million barrels, basically guaranteeing that your gas 41 00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:37,880 Speaker 1: prices are going to go up between now in the midterms. 42 00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:43,080 Speaker 1: Extended middle Yeah. Yeah, it was an extended middle finger 43 00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:46,040 Speaker 1: to Joe Biden from the Saudis who we had been 44 00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:49,880 Speaker 1: begging for help. And the end result, now buck is 45 00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:53,720 Speaker 1: that Biden is unleashing as much strategic oil reserves as 46 00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:56,840 Speaker 1: he can to try to avoid gas prices going up. 47 00:02:57,320 --> 00:03:00,520 Speaker 1: But this is going to be I think a lamity 48 00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:05,320 Speaker 1: electorally for Democrats because all of these swing voters, as 49 00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:07,560 Speaker 1: they get ready to go to the polls, are going 50 00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:11,120 Speaker 1: to be seeing rapidly rising gas prices taken more of 51 00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:14,440 Speaker 1: a pinch out of their wallet. The one commercial that 52 00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:18,240 Speaker 1: will be run millions and millions of times that doesn't 53 00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:23,400 Speaker 1: cost any campaign or any pack any money is Americans 54 00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:27,040 Speaker 1: on their way to the polls gassing up their car 55 00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:29,959 Speaker 1: and saying, what the heck is that. That's one that's 56 00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:32,880 Speaker 1: going to play out all over the country, particularly in 57 00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:37,080 Speaker 1: states like Nevada and California where the price of gas 58 00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:40,360 Speaker 1: is super high right now. But this is a this 59 00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:43,480 Speaker 1: is all part of a broader theme. I think the 60 00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:48,120 Speaker 1: price of gas is higher, Okay, yes, any global market. 61 00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:50,520 Speaker 1: You can point to a lot of different factors for why. 62 00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:55,920 Speaker 1: But basically, the Biden administration decided early on, at the 63 00:03:56,040 --> 00:03:59,200 Speaker 1: very beginning, really day one, that they would do things 64 00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:04,840 Speaker 1: to make it clear they are hostile from a regulatory perspective, 65 00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:07,839 Speaker 1: they are hostile to fossil fuels. In fact, they view 66 00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:11,600 Speaker 1: the continued usage of fossil fuels and the increased use 67 00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:14,840 Speaker 1: which would happen as our population continues to expand, as 68 00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:17,960 Speaker 1: an existential threat to humanity. They say that it's one 69 00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:19,479 Speaker 1: of those things where you quit. This is like the 70 00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:22,359 Speaker 1: men can get pregnant line. It's a crazy thing. But 71 00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:25,080 Speaker 1: they say the crazy thing. They say that CO two 72 00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:28,960 Speaker 1: emissions from gas is an existential threat to us. But 73 00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:32,520 Speaker 1: the theme, I think Clay is as we get closer 74 00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:36,480 Speaker 1: to the midterms on pretty much every issue, I mean, 75 00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:38,600 Speaker 1: you might be able to find one or two, the 76 00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:42,360 Speaker 1: whole plan of the Democrat Party has become, oh, that's 77 00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:45,440 Speaker 1: stuff that we supported the last two years. Well, I 78 00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:48,000 Speaker 1: don't support that. I'm one of the good like same 79 00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:51,520 Speaker 1: Democrats who wants safe streets and wants cheap gas and 80 00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:56,120 Speaker 1: doesn't believe that we should be dumping you know, millions 81 00:04:56,200 --> 00:04:58,480 Speaker 1: of illegal aliens in the country, all over the country. 82 00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:00,960 Speaker 1: I mean, they're the only way they can try to 83 00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:03,320 Speaker 1: hold the line in the midterm elections. It's for the 84 00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:09,320 Speaker 1: Democrat Party to lie about who they've been relentlessly, ruthlessly 85 00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:11,599 Speaker 1: for the last two years. That's it. Otherwise they know 86 00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:14,840 Speaker 1: they're heading for total armageddon. And here's the other part 87 00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:21,600 Speaker 1: of this that's so funny, buck is Biden's blame shifting. Right. Initially, it's, oh, 88 00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:25,360 Speaker 1: these reckless oil and gas companies. It's the gas station owners. 89 00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:28,000 Speaker 1: How dare they charged so much for the gas that 90 00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:30,800 Speaker 1: you're having to put into your car? And then it 91 00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:36,960 Speaker 1: was Vladimir Putin's inflation price tax hike on everybody effectively, 92 00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:39,239 Speaker 1: and that was the reason why oil and gas prices 93 00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:42,720 Speaker 1: were up. Then when they started to come down, it 94 00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:45,680 Speaker 1: was all because of Joe Biden that gas prices were 95 00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:48,360 Speaker 1: coming down. He took complete credit for the fact that 96 00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:52,200 Speaker 1: gas prices were going down. And now we've already got 97 00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:55,880 Speaker 1: Kareem Jean Pierre, who was basically the Baghdad Bob of 98 00:05:55,920 --> 00:06:02,280 Speaker 1: this administration, rolling out to tell everyone, actually, look, Vladimir 99 00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:05,520 Speaker 1: Putin is the reason guys that gas prices are going out. Listen, 100 00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:09,719 Speaker 1: you said the president was responsible for gas prices coming down. 101 00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:13,960 Speaker 1: It's the president responsible for gas prices going up. So 102 00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:18,080 Speaker 1: it's a lot more nuanced than that, right, Peter, You 103 00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:21,080 Speaker 1: know this. There have been global challenges that we have 104 00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:23,880 Speaker 1: all have dealt with. When I say all meaning other 105 00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:27,159 Speaker 1: countries as well, have dealt with since the pandemic, there's 106 00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:30,839 Speaker 1: been pandemic, and there's been Putin's War, and Putin's war 107 00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:35,839 Speaker 1: has increased gas prices at the pump. You remember, Clay, 108 00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:39,479 Speaker 1: when when John Carey was running, you know, John Kerry 109 00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:41,680 Speaker 1: the every man for it then he was against it 110 00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:43,760 Speaker 1: before he was for it or everything else, and the 111 00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:46,800 Speaker 1: whole the whole flip flop flip flop thing. Really did 112 00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:49,360 Speaker 1: you know? I've voted for the Iraq war before I 113 00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:53,560 Speaker 1: voted against it, and people started I forget who was. 114 00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:55,680 Speaker 1: But somebody said, the problem John Kerry has because he 115 00:06:55,720 --> 00:06:59,000 Speaker 1: started going around saying, well, it's more nuanced than that, 116 00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:01,800 Speaker 1: And the problem them is that that sounds like a 117 00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:05,000 Speaker 1: fancy French word for flip flop, right, Like, yeah, more nuanced. 118 00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:06,719 Speaker 1: I mean, what what does that really mean? I mean, 119 00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:10,720 Speaker 1: give me a break here, when when when deucey asks. Okay, 120 00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:12,880 Speaker 1: so a couple of weeks ago, you're saying, price of 121 00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:16,080 Speaker 1: gas going down, and you're basically spiking the football in 122 00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:18,200 Speaker 1: the end zone doing one of those dances. Not one 123 00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:19,920 Speaker 1: of those dances. You get a penalty for a clay 124 00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:22,640 Speaker 1: because I know that within the rules celebrates right within 125 00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:25,800 Speaker 1: within thank you, sir, within the rules celebration. I'm learning 126 00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:29,120 Speaker 1: the things. And then all of a sudden, you know, 127 00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:31,280 Speaker 1: you get to a few weeks later, the price of 128 00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:34,720 Speaker 1: gas is going up again, and they're like, well, it's 129 00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:39,000 Speaker 1: a it's a very complicated story. At some point it 130 00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:42,280 Speaker 1: becomes just the untenable position for Democrats that I think 131 00:07:42,320 --> 00:07:44,640 Speaker 1: we're there on the price of gas. Keep in mind 132 00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:48,080 Speaker 1: the anti inflation or one of the Inflation Reduction Act, right. 133 00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:52,800 Speaker 1: Really the biggest win for Democrats in that, in their 134 00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:57,000 Speaker 1: own minds was that it was an unprecedented spending spree 135 00:07:57,360 --> 00:08:00,800 Speaker 1: at a time of high inflation for green energy, green 136 00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:04,120 Speaker 1: new deal projects. That's really what that's really what they 137 00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:05,920 Speaker 1: were getting out of more than a thing else. So 138 00:08:05,960 --> 00:08:08,880 Speaker 1: at a time when gas prices are high and inflation 139 00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:13,200 Speaker 1: is high, their focus is still wind farms, which are 140 00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:17,440 Speaker 1: queens and arts for migratory foul as everybody's finding out unfortunately. Yeah, 141 00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:21,320 Speaker 1: And the other thing is it doesn't feel very nuanced 142 00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:26,360 Speaker 1: if you are scrimping and striving and trying the best 143 00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:29,720 Speaker 1: that you can to get through every month with the 144 00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:33,600 Speaker 1: money that you make, and gas prices are ticking up 145 00:08:33,640 --> 00:08:37,720 Speaker 1: every single day as you drive past gas stations, and 146 00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:39,800 Speaker 1: Joe Biden's attempt, which I think is going to be 147 00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:43,720 Speaker 1: really ill founded, to take credit for gas prices coming 148 00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:46,959 Speaker 1: down while taking none of the blame for them going up, 149 00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:51,920 Speaker 1: is not something that registers very well with the casual voter. 150 00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:56,240 Speaker 1: They hold the president responsible for the price of gas, 151 00:08:56,600 --> 00:09:00,480 Speaker 1: and frankly, the thing I'm concerned about Buck is the 152 00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:04,240 Speaker 1: depletion of our strategic oil reserve. We now are down 153 00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:10,640 Speaker 1: to nineteen eighty four I think levels of inefficiency and supply, 154 00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:14,280 Speaker 1: and he's going to continue to pump as aggressively as 155 00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:17,800 Speaker 1: he can from our strategic oil reserves. Even though it 156 00:09:17,800 --> 00:09:20,640 Speaker 1: doesn't have a massive impact on the overall price of 157 00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:24,640 Speaker 1: oil and gas, it has some impact as desperately as 158 00:09:24,679 --> 00:09:26,720 Speaker 1: he can to try to keep these prices down. And this, 159 00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:30,520 Speaker 1: to me is just an extended middle finger from Saudi Arabia, 160 00:09:30,760 --> 00:09:33,080 Speaker 1: who Joe Biden tried to go after, And it just 161 00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:37,720 Speaker 1: reflects and represents to me how little esteem the larger 162 00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:40,959 Speaker 1: world has for Joe Biden's leadership. I mean, you think 163 00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:44,880 Speaker 1: the Saudis are in a big rush to help Biden, 164 00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:49,480 Speaker 1: Biden whose administration is running to the Iranians begging please 165 00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:53,080 Speaker 1: let's make another deal. I don't think the Saudis are 166 00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:56,160 Speaker 1: feeling like, look, I'm not somebody you nor I are 167 00:09:56,240 --> 00:09:58,959 Speaker 1: naive enough to think the Saudis really given a what 168 00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:01,480 Speaker 1: about the United it States the price of gas for us, 169 00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:03,320 Speaker 1: and what's going on with our economy, And you can 170 00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:06,600 Speaker 1: make an argument that really, why should they, But the 171 00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:10,080 Speaker 1: notion that Biden is going to be getting favors from 172 00:10:10,120 --> 00:10:12,960 Speaker 1: the House of Sad right now, I think that I 173 00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:15,880 Speaker 1: think they've seen, they've seen enough of what good old 174 00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:19,280 Speaker 1: joke can get done for them. Remember, their entire economy 175 00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:22,440 Speaker 1: is hydrocarbon base, right, so the Biden administrations running around 176 00:10:22,840 --> 00:10:25,640 Speaker 1: making all this noise about how that's destroying the planet 177 00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:28,160 Speaker 1: and now he wants them to bring down no I 178 00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:31,440 Speaker 1: mean that the two million dollars a barrel a day 179 00:10:31,679 --> 00:10:35,040 Speaker 1: drop in output is just showing that one we don't 180 00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:37,120 Speaker 1: call the shots the same way that we don't call 181 00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:39,840 Speaker 1: the shots with Russia's economy either either. As we've noted, 182 00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:42,560 Speaker 1: the Russian ruble is up. Everybody think about that. The 183 00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:45,520 Speaker 1: ruble is up this year. It's actually the best performing 184 00:10:45,559 --> 00:10:47,839 Speaker 1: I think currency in the world. Things up like almost 185 00:10:47,880 --> 00:10:50,839 Speaker 1: thirty percent. And I do think the Saudis love. I 186 00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:52,160 Speaker 1: don't want to flip you off here of it. I'm 187 00:10:52,559 --> 00:10:55,640 Speaker 1: you know, I do think they love. They're gonna make 188 00:10:55,640 --> 00:10:57,680 Speaker 1: more money probably off this two buck. I mean, they're 189 00:10:57,720 --> 00:11:01,280 Speaker 1: ultimately capitalist and they have an asset that everybody needs. 190 00:11:01,679 --> 00:11:05,920 Speaker 1: But I definitely think that they enjoy being able to 191 00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:09,000 Speaker 1: also gig Joe Biden based on the way that he 192 00:11:09,080 --> 00:11:13,920 Speaker 1: has treated MBS after the Jamal Kasogi incident, and so 193 00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:16,400 Speaker 1: I do think they factor in a little bit. Hey, 194 00:11:16,520 --> 00:11:18,520 Speaker 1: this guy's gonna be a one term president. What the 195 00:11:18,520 --> 00:11:22,200 Speaker 1: heck do week here? If he's mad, let's absolutely screw him. Yeah, 196 00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:24,920 Speaker 1: I mean, the Iranians, the Mullas are going to be 197 00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:27,240 Speaker 1: closer to a nuke with four more years of Biden 198 00:11:27,640 --> 00:11:30,560 Speaker 1: to that breakout capability. However, and everybody knows that this 199 00:11:30,679 --> 00:11:35,360 Speaker 1: is not some surprise. The Democrats have decided that being 200 00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:38,200 Speaker 1: weak with regard to Iranian policy. I mean, just remember 201 00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:43,000 Speaker 1: when Trump. Remember when Trump took this strike on Kosam 202 00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:48,400 Speaker 1: Solomani and all the Democrats were saying, oh, it's no Actually, 203 00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:50,760 Speaker 1: the guy who was responsible for the deaths of hundreds, 204 00:11:50,760 --> 00:11:54,280 Speaker 1: if not thousands of US troops in Iraq finally got 205 00:11:54,280 --> 00:11:56,200 Speaker 1: what was coming to him, and Trump made absolutely the 206 00:11:56,280 --> 00:11:59,680 Speaker 1: right move. Look, the Saudi's respect, to your point, money 207 00:11:59,760 --> 00:12:03,319 Speaker 1: for and foremost, but strength as well. Yeah, and this 208 00:12:03,400 --> 00:12:05,440 Speaker 1: is not an administration that has any strength. And I 209 00:12:05,480 --> 00:12:07,520 Speaker 1: think that what you're really in some ways seeing from 210 00:12:07,520 --> 00:12:12,720 Speaker 1: the Saudi oil Saudi oil output determination that they've made. 211 00:12:13,280 --> 00:12:16,679 Speaker 1: Joe Biden is heading into two years possibly of a 212 00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:19,920 Speaker 1: lame duck presidency, so he's gonna have he's gonna have 213 00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:23,600 Speaker 1: no political cloud at home and no political clout abroad. 214 00:12:24,120 --> 00:12:26,160 Speaker 1: But he did tell Al Sharpton that he's gonna run 215 00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:28,280 Speaker 1: a good clay, just reminding you of that, which is 216 00:12:28,280 --> 00:12:30,360 Speaker 1: why I don't think they're going to let him run. 217 00:12:30,520 --> 00:12:32,560 Speaker 1: We need to get into a lot of different stories today, 218 00:12:32,559 --> 00:12:36,800 Speaker 1: buck the herschel Walker fallout, Democrats trying to trounce him 219 00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:39,360 Speaker 1: as best they can because I still think he's gonna win. 220 00:12:39,440 --> 00:12:43,240 Speaker 1: The latest on the Senate races, and our boy Fauci 221 00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:47,080 Speaker 1: is headed Egche to hang out with our buddy Stephen Colbert. 222 00:12:47,160 --> 00:12:50,120 Speaker 1: I can't wait to see what happens on that absurdity. 223 00:12:50,160 --> 00:12:52,640 Speaker 1: All that, plus we're gonna be joined, I think, by 224 00:12:52,679 --> 00:12:56,319 Speaker 1: Tippany Smiley, who is making a real run in Washington. Yes, sir, 225 00:12:56,320 --> 00:12:58,280 Speaker 1: a third hour of the program. We've got some great 226 00:12:58,320 --> 00:13:01,160 Speaker 1: political heavy hitters right now. The government of Oklahoma, Kevin 227 00:13:01,320 --> 00:13:04,240 Speaker 1: Stitt will be with us. He's taking action in his 228 00:13:04,280 --> 00:13:08,160 Speaker 1: state on transgender surgery for minors. Good for from other 229 00:13:08,200 --> 00:13:10,400 Speaker 1: states making the right move on this one. And then 230 00:13:10,400 --> 00:13:13,520 Speaker 1: we've got Tiffany Smiley, as you said, she could. I mean, 231 00:13:13,520 --> 00:13:15,520 Speaker 1: this might be one of the great political stories of 232 00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:17,200 Speaker 1: this midterm if she's able to pull it out. We 233 00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:20,040 Speaker 1: wanted to. Oh, she's got that fascinating story as well 234 00:13:20,640 --> 00:13:24,720 Speaker 1: of Starbucks and the Seahawks. Not right, isn't they're trying 235 00:13:24,760 --> 00:13:26,880 Speaker 1: to do to her? Yeah? I know. And Marsha Blackburn. 236 00:13:26,920 --> 00:13:30,240 Speaker 1: I'll give her praise when she comes on. But Marshall Blackburn, 237 00:13:30,280 --> 00:13:32,320 Speaker 1: Senator from Tennessee, says she is one of the best 238 00:13:32,360 --> 00:13:35,840 Speaker 1: candidates she has ever seen. For the Senate, and she 239 00:13:36,040 --> 00:13:38,040 Speaker 1: is running a whale of a race, so we'll talk 240 00:13:38,040 --> 00:13:39,680 Speaker 1: with her. I know a lot of people out in Seattle, 241 00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:41,320 Speaker 1: a lot of people out in the Pacific Northwest in 242 00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:44,960 Speaker 1: Portland looking at that Christine Dreysen race, starting to recognize 243 00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:47,560 Speaker 1: we may have some major upsets happening out there because 244 00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:51,200 Speaker 1: Democrats have lost their minds. There's no such thing as 245 00:13:51,280 --> 00:13:53,360 Speaker 1: free time. When you're a business owner. You know it. 246 00:13:53,520 --> 00:13:55,440 Speaker 1: I know what. Anybody who's ever owned a business knows 247 00:13:55,480 --> 00:13:57,520 Speaker 1: the feeling of having to keep up with your staff, 248 00:13:57,760 --> 00:14:00,800 Speaker 1: keeping up with the regulations, retention of your best team members, 249 00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:04,520 Speaker 1: not to mention keeping your customers happy. That's why there's insparity. 250 00:14:04,840 --> 00:14:07,959 Speaker 1: They put thirty plus years of HR experience to work 251 00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:11,160 Speaker 1: to help you develop a people strategy that supports your 252 00:14:11,160 --> 00:14:14,880 Speaker 1: business strategy, focusing on the health of your organization. What 253 00:14:14,960 --> 00:14:18,000 Speaker 1: if your HR strategy included access to better benefits to 254 00:14:18,040 --> 00:14:20,600 Speaker 1: help you keep the employees you have and attract new ones. 255 00:14:20,920 --> 00:14:23,480 Speaker 1: What if it also offered training for your employees to 256 00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:27,000 Speaker 1: increase their skills so they become more productive. There will 257 00:14:27,080 --> 00:14:29,920 Speaker 1: always be challenges to face in business, but no matter 258 00:14:29,960 --> 00:14:32,800 Speaker 1: where they come from, insparities ready to help you move 259 00:14:32,880 --> 00:14:37,479 Speaker 1: past them by providing the HR solutions you need. With insparity, 260 00:14:37,640 --> 00:14:46,000 Speaker 1: nothing seems impossible insparity HR that makes a different. Welcome 261 00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:48,800 Speaker 1: back into the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show. We 262 00:14:48,880 --> 00:14:54,600 Speaker 1: are joined now by the Governor of Oklahoma, Kevin Stitt, Governor, 263 00:14:54,760 --> 00:14:58,280 Speaker 1: thanks for being with us. Appreciate you. Oh, absolutely great 264 00:14:58,320 --> 00:14:59,880 Speaker 1: to be on your show today. So one thing that 265 00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:03,680 Speaker 1: it's gotten a lot of attention from certainly conservatives in 266 00:15:04,160 --> 00:15:12,280 Speaker 1: recent weeks and months are the revelations about transgender surgery 267 00:15:12,600 --> 00:15:16,360 Speaker 1: on miners, sometimes as young as twelve or thirteen years old. 268 00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:21,240 Speaker 1: You are leading an effort in your state to stop 269 00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:24,600 Speaker 1: this practice, at least in the hospital system. Tell us 270 00:15:24,600 --> 00:15:28,240 Speaker 1: what's going on here? Yeah, Well, first off, we were 271 00:15:28,360 --> 00:15:31,360 Speaker 1: totally shocked. I mean, every governor, you know, citizens around 272 00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:33,320 Speaker 1: the country, we need to find out what's happening. Because 273 00:15:33,360 --> 00:15:36,200 Speaker 1: we found out there were these you know, gender transition 274 00:15:36,240 --> 00:15:40,400 Speaker 1: surgeries which are really you know, sterilizing miners and doing 275 00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:44,560 Speaker 1: permanent surgeries to you know, twelve, thirteen, fourteen year olds. 276 00:15:44,560 --> 00:15:47,440 Speaker 1: And so we put a stop to it. We blocked funding, 277 00:15:48,360 --> 00:15:52,360 Speaker 1: I called the legislature to stop that, you know, statewide, 278 00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:54,560 Speaker 1: make sure we put a ban on that. I don't 279 00:15:54,560 --> 00:15:57,960 Speaker 1: think taxpayers want this to happen in their state. I mean, 280 00:15:58,480 --> 00:16:02,040 Speaker 1: especially miners. This is really troubling to me. These are 281 00:16:02,040 --> 00:16:05,680 Speaker 1: healthy children and uh and you should not permanently do 282 00:16:05,840 --> 00:16:09,000 Speaker 1: something you know and or allowed that to be done 283 00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:10,760 Speaker 1: in your state. And so I think it's pretty pretty 284 00:16:10,760 --> 00:16:13,000 Speaker 1: common sense to us. Yeah, I think it's a one 285 00:16:13,080 --> 00:16:15,160 Speaker 1: hundred percent Governor, this is Clay. I appreciate you coming 286 00:16:15,200 --> 00:16:18,400 Speaker 1: on with us. The analogy I would draw here is 287 00:16:18,440 --> 00:16:20,880 Speaker 1: you can't get a tattooed to you're eighteen, but we're 288 00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:24,560 Speaker 1: letting gender reassignment surgeries happened for fourteen or fifteen year olds. 289 00:16:24,600 --> 00:16:27,920 Speaker 1: I mean, it's madness. What kind of opposition, if any 290 00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:32,280 Speaker 1: aligned lined up against this, and what did the numbers 291 00:16:32,360 --> 00:16:35,880 Speaker 1: look like in Oklahoma in terms of the politicians who 292 00:16:35,920 --> 00:16:39,760 Speaker 1: supported you, you know you had it's it's it's it's 293 00:16:39,800 --> 00:16:43,640 Speaker 1: so ridiculous that we're so politicized. But every single Democrat, 294 00:16:43,680 --> 00:16:48,640 Speaker 1: I believe maybe two Democrats in our legislature voted against it. 295 00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:51,160 Speaker 1: All of them voted for it. That all the rest 296 00:16:51,160 --> 00:16:54,359 Speaker 1: of the Democrats voted against this bill that the legislature 297 00:16:54,360 --> 00:16:57,000 Speaker 1: put on my desk. And we have a majority Republican 298 00:16:57,200 --> 00:17:01,479 Speaker 1: conservative legislature in Oklahoma, so every one of the Republicans 299 00:17:01,520 --> 00:17:05,359 Speaker 1: voted to say, yeah, this is nonsense. I think ninety 300 00:17:05,400 --> 00:17:09,399 Speaker 1: five percent of citizens believe in traditional family values, and 301 00:17:10,040 --> 00:17:13,760 Speaker 1: so to allow somebody to harm their child or to 302 00:17:13,880 --> 00:17:16,640 Speaker 1: permanently change something, I mean, we can have the conversation. 303 00:17:16,760 --> 00:17:19,080 Speaker 1: I'm happy to talk about if you're an adult and 304 00:17:19,119 --> 00:17:21,199 Speaker 1: you're eighteen or nineteen or twenty, if you want to 305 00:17:21,200 --> 00:17:24,040 Speaker 1: do something, you know, on your own dime. But for 306 00:17:24,119 --> 00:17:27,720 Speaker 1: the state to pay for this for a minor, We're 307 00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:30,560 Speaker 1: just not going to tolerate it in Oklahoma. How crazy 308 00:17:30,760 --> 00:17:32,600 Speaker 1: is it to you? Let's just be honest. Pretend you're 309 00:17:32,640 --> 00:17:34,760 Speaker 1: not the governor, right, You're a dad, I'm a dad. 310 00:17:35,480 --> 00:17:37,840 Speaker 1: How crazy is it to you your kids are young, 311 00:17:38,480 --> 00:17:42,960 Speaker 1: that Democrats would make their entire party position that this 312 00:17:43,040 --> 00:17:47,760 Speaker 1: should be able to occur. You know, I mean I 313 00:17:47,840 --> 00:17:50,640 Speaker 1: tell people, you know, just privately before, I mean, would 314 00:17:51,040 --> 00:17:54,240 Speaker 1: this would make our grandparents roll over in their graves 315 00:17:54,320 --> 00:17:57,680 Speaker 1: thinking about this. This is the most unbelievable thing ever. 316 00:17:57,760 --> 00:18:00,360 Speaker 1: And I think that the Democrats have gone on so 317 00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:03,399 Speaker 1: far left and made this part of their platform and 318 00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:07,040 Speaker 1: the hill to die on, and they're losing. The Hispanics. Um, 319 00:18:07,320 --> 00:18:09,520 Speaker 1: you know a lot of a lot of the Hispanics, 320 00:18:09,600 --> 00:18:15,359 Speaker 1: African Americans, the Pakistanis, the Asians in Oklahoma. They constantly 321 00:18:15,359 --> 00:18:17,160 Speaker 1: are reaching out to me just saying, what in the 322 00:18:17,200 --> 00:18:20,840 Speaker 1: world is happening. I voted Democrat before, but I can't 323 00:18:20,880 --> 00:18:24,240 Speaker 1: stand for this. We're fathers. We want to protect young people, 324 00:18:24,560 --> 00:18:26,760 Speaker 1: like you said, miners can't. We don't give them a 325 00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:29,439 Speaker 1: driver's life them and give them a cart at twelve 326 00:18:29,520 --> 00:18:33,160 Speaker 1: or fourteen and say be responsible. We're gonna let them alter. Uh, 327 00:18:33,680 --> 00:18:35,520 Speaker 1: we don't let them buy We don't let them buy 328 00:18:35,560 --> 00:18:37,840 Speaker 1: beer until they're twenty one, and we let them cut 329 00:18:37,880 --> 00:18:40,160 Speaker 1: their genitals off at fourteen. I mean, I don't even 330 00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:42,119 Speaker 1: understand how this is remotely First of all, I think 331 00:18:42,119 --> 00:18:44,200 Speaker 1: it's child abuse. But the idea that this would be 332 00:18:44,240 --> 00:18:48,840 Speaker 1: a Democrat platform is truly insane to me. Yeah, well, 333 00:18:48,880 --> 00:18:52,360 Speaker 1: you're exactly right, and they're losing. The far the far 334 00:18:52,520 --> 00:18:56,680 Speaker 1: extremist are losing this. This isn't about attacking anyone person. 335 00:18:56,720 --> 00:18:59,640 Speaker 1: This is about protecting young people. This is about there's 336 00:18:59,680 --> 00:19:01,880 Speaker 1: a lot of things that you know you're not your 337 00:19:01,920 --> 00:19:05,199 Speaker 1: mind and your frontolobe is not fully developed until you're 338 00:19:05,240 --> 00:19:07,879 Speaker 1: in your twenties, and so to allow people to life 339 00:19:07,880 --> 00:19:10,359 Speaker 1: altering change and let parents. I agree with you, I 340 00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:13,360 Speaker 1: think it's I think it's child abuse, and we took 341 00:19:13,359 --> 00:19:15,639 Speaker 1: the first step to ban it in Oklahoma. We're speaking 342 00:19:15,640 --> 00:19:20,840 Speaker 1: of Governor Kevin Stidd of Oklahoma. Governor, you have spent 343 00:19:20,920 --> 00:19:24,479 Speaker 1: time down at the border. You've seen the lawlessness and 344 00:19:24,520 --> 00:19:28,879 Speaker 1: the chaos and the impact on border communities firsthand. I 345 00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:33,760 Speaker 1: just saw yesterday the official fiscal year count for gotaways. 346 00:19:34,520 --> 00:19:36,600 Speaker 1: I want to say it was between six and eight 347 00:19:36,720 --> 00:19:40,680 Speaker 1: hundred thousand, which is in addition to the five million 348 00:19:40,800 --> 00:19:44,080 Speaker 1: people who have entered illegally on the full two years 349 00:19:44,160 --> 00:19:47,040 Speaker 1: of Biden's time in office or whatever it is, year 350 00:19:47,080 --> 00:19:50,600 Speaker 1: and change going on two years. What does it mean 351 00:19:50,720 --> 00:19:53,399 Speaker 1: for your state or what are the impacts that you're seeing? 352 00:19:53,440 --> 00:19:55,879 Speaker 1: And just also have you ever seen a border of 353 00:19:55,880 --> 00:19:59,240 Speaker 1: that is this wide open? Before? You know? I haven't? 354 00:19:59,240 --> 00:20:00,840 Speaker 1: You know? It was one would be one year ago 355 00:20:00,920 --> 00:20:03,920 Speaker 1: tomorrow that myself and ten other governors we went down 356 00:20:03,960 --> 00:20:06,720 Speaker 1: to the border with Governor Abbott in McClain, Texas and 357 00:20:06,760 --> 00:20:10,040 Speaker 1: held a press conference. We released a ten point plan 358 00:20:10,640 --> 00:20:14,479 Speaker 1: prior to that, twenty six governors asked Biden, sent President 359 00:20:14,480 --> 00:20:17,679 Speaker 1: Biden a letter asking for a meeting, and crickets nothing. 360 00:20:18,040 --> 00:20:20,880 Speaker 1: Can you imagine over half of your customers or half 361 00:20:20,920 --> 00:20:25,240 Speaker 1: of your employees wanting a meeting with the boss and 362 00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:28,480 Speaker 1: he won't even respond. So we brought released a ten 363 00:20:28,520 --> 00:20:32,520 Speaker 1: point plan. You know, we have to have to remain 364 00:20:32,560 --> 00:20:36,160 Speaker 1: in Mexico policy, and that would change everything because right 365 00:20:36,160 --> 00:20:39,479 Speaker 1: now you're free to be released into the US if 366 00:20:39,520 --> 00:20:41,800 Speaker 1: you just touch the border. And oh, by the way, 367 00:20:41,960 --> 00:20:44,560 Speaker 1: here's a piece of paper, showback up in two years 368 00:20:44,880 --> 00:20:48,399 Speaker 1: at a court date. It's just nonsense. It's creating the migration. 369 00:20:48,440 --> 00:20:51,760 Speaker 1: And now twenty billion dollars is the estimate that this 370 00:20:51,840 --> 00:20:56,080 Speaker 1: is costing taxpayers from open border the cost of taxpayers 371 00:20:56,119 --> 00:20:59,119 Speaker 1: from illegal immigration that are just pouring across. But in 372 00:20:59,200 --> 00:21:02,440 Speaker 1: Oklahoma specif typically fintenol is the leading cause of death. 373 00:21:02,520 --> 00:21:05,840 Speaker 1: I think that's across America. Now we know those drugs 374 00:21:05,840 --> 00:21:08,760 Speaker 1: are coming through the southern border. Then you talk about 375 00:21:08,880 --> 00:21:13,359 Speaker 1: terrorists and you talk about all the getaways. We have 376 00:21:13,480 --> 00:21:16,840 Speaker 1: to have strong borders. And I also want to say this, 377 00:21:16,840 --> 00:21:20,160 Speaker 1: this is totally different than an attack on the Hispanic community. 378 00:21:20,200 --> 00:21:24,520 Speaker 1: We have a fantastic, hard working Hispanic community in Oklahoma. 379 00:21:24,640 --> 00:21:26,720 Speaker 1: But we have to have strong borders. We have to 380 00:21:26,760 --> 00:21:32,080 Speaker 1: know who's coming through our borders. We need correct immigration policy. Governor, 381 00:21:32,119 --> 00:21:33,840 Speaker 1: this is shifting gears a little bit. I know you're 382 00:21:33,880 --> 00:21:37,560 Speaker 1: a big Oklahoma state fan. Oklahoma is leaving to go 383 00:21:37,680 --> 00:21:41,359 Speaker 1: to the SEC. One of the great rivalries in all 384 00:21:41,400 --> 00:21:45,440 Speaker 1: of sports, certainly college football is Bedlam in your state. 385 00:21:45,560 --> 00:21:48,000 Speaker 1: It appears it's going to be coming to an end. 386 00:21:48,600 --> 00:21:50,840 Speaker 1: Can you do anything as governor to try to keep 387 00:21:50,880 --> 00:21:55,720 Speaker 1: that rivalry going? Man, we would love to You're right, 388 00:21:55,760 --> 00:21:58,880 Speaker 1: Bedlam is a huge deal. Every we played that game 389 00:21:58,920 --> 00:22:02,840 Speaker 1: and Thanksgiving and we hope. So I'm talking to the legislature, 390 00:22:03,080 --> 00:22:05,560 Speaker 1: the university presidents to see what we can do. And 391 00:22:06,080 --> 00:22:08,640 Speaker 1: it's complicated when they go to different conferences and having 392 00:22:08,640 --> 00:22:12,920 Speaker 1: a non conference game with another team is going to 393 00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:16,760 Speaker 1: be difficult. But you know, I'm going to be down 394 00:22:16,800 --> 00:22:19,679 Speaker 1: in Texas on Saturday flipping the coin with Governor Abbott. 395 00:22:19,720 --> 00:22:22,120 Speaker 1: The Red River rivalry is a big one. Oh you Texas. 396 00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:24,399 Speaker 1: That rival we will continue because they're both going to 397 00:22:24,440 --> 00:22:27,560 Speaker 1: be moving conferences together. But I hope we can do 398 00:22:27,640 --> 00:22:29,959 Speaker 1: something to keep it going and governor. You know, we 399 00:22:29,960 --> 00:22:33,879 Speaker 1: were just talking about the migration to Florida before, and 400 00:22:34,200 --> 00:22:37,160 Speaker 1: the migration that has been going on to Texas, particularly 401 00:22:37,160 --> 00:22:39,680 Speaker 1: from the coast, from the New York area and from 402 00:22:39,720 --> 00:22:44,440 Speaker 1: California has been ongoing for years. What kind of inflows 403 00:22:44,520 --> 00:22:47,080 Speaker 1: to your state of Oklahoma are you seeing? And and 404 00:22:47,280 --> 00:22:51,679 Speaker 1: for anyone who's wondering what policies either Florida or Texas 405 00:22:51,720 --> 00:22:55,760 Speaker 1: have enacted successfully, what are the ones that you're also 406 00:22:55,800 --> 00:22:58,080 Speaker 1: doing in Oklahoma. I mean, we'd like to see. It's 407 00:22:58,080 --> 00:23:00,480 Speaker 1: sort of the spreading of good policies and ideas to 408 00:23:00,640 --> 00:23:04,399 Speaker 1: all states with red governors. Oh well, first off, you know, 409 00:23:04,560 --> 00:23:07,800 Speaker 1: not per capita, but true numbers. Oklahoma's eleventh in the 410 00:23:07,880 --> 00:23:11,199 Speaker 1: country right now in migration. So people are waking up 411 00:23:11,200 --> 00:23:15,639 Speaker 1: to our pro freedom, pro business policies, traditional family values. 412 00:23:16,240 --> 00:23:19,560 Speaker 1: We've got the cheapest electricity to the consumer and businesses, 413 00:23:19,640 --> 00:23:23,159 Speaker 1: so manufacturing people are coming because we've got an all 414 00:23:23,200 --> 00:23:26,480 Speaker 1: of the above energy approach. I cut taxes last year 415 00:23:26,560 --> 00:23:30,960 Speaker 1: for every single business, every single Oklahoma so just amazing things. 416 00:23:30,960 --> 00:23:34,280 Speaker 1: Our regulatory environment in Oklahoma is so much better than 417 00:23:34,320 --> 00:23:37,760 Speaker 1: the coast. I'm a businessman that became governor four years ago. 418 00:23:37,760 --> 00:23:40,119 Speaker 1: I've never been in politics, and so I bring that 419 00:23:40,200 --> 00:23:44,000 Speaker 1: business perspective that we want. We want our regulatory bodies 420 00:23:44,040 --> 00:23:47,240 Speaker 1: working with industry. We never played gotcha, were clear with 421 00:23:47,280 --> 00:23:49,880 Speaker 1: the rules, but we let businesses go compete against each other. 422 00:23:50,240 --> 00:23:53,639 Speaker 1: And that's why people are flooding here because of that. 423 00:23:53,680 --> 00:23:57,080 Speaker 1: But yeah, we're seeing the same kind of migration. I 424 00:23:57,160 --> 00:23:59,440 Speaker 1: kind of joke though, that if you move here from California, 425 00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:01,600 Speaker 1: I had to wait eighteen years to vote, so they 426 00:24:01,600 --> 00:24:06,399 Speaker 1: should have to wait eighteen years before the governor. We 427 00:24:06,520 --> 00:24:10,399 Speaker 1: talked to start the show about everything going on with 428 00:24:10,480 --> 00:24:13,560 Speaker 1: an energy policy. You were just talking about the impact 429 00:24:13,600 --> 00:24:16,040 Speaker 1: certainly that energy has in Oklahoma. You're right there by 430 00:24:16,040 --> 00:24:19,520 Speaker 1: Texas when you see that OPEC is diminishing their oil 431 00:24:19,560 --> 00:24:22,840 Speaker 1: production by two million barrels, and certainly you live in 432 00:24:22,840 --> 00:24:25,480 Speaker 1: in a region where you guys have produced a lot 433 00:24:25,520 --> 00:24:28,000 Speaker 1: of oil and gas over the years. How much of 434 00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:32,240 Speaker 1: a disaster is Joe Biden's energy policy for Oklahoma's and 435 00:24:32,320 --> 00:24:38,040 Speaker 1: based on what you guys certainly know about American energy production. Yeah, well, 436 00:24:38,080 --> 00:24:41,080 Speaker 1: so for everybody listening to your show, just set politics 437 00:24:41,080 --> 00:24:44,439 Speaker 1: aside for a second. Every single president of the United States, 438 00:24:44,440 --> 00:24:48,000 Speaker 1: whether the Republican or Democrats since nineteen seventy three has 439 00:24:48,040 --> 00:24:52,399 Speaker 1: had an energy independence policy that makes common sense for Americans. 440 00:24:52,480 --> 00:24:57,320 Speaker 1: Let's meet the needs of our citizens with our own resources, 441 00:24:57,320 --> 00:25:01,680 Speaker 1: our own companies, our own employees. This administration they want 442 00:25:01,680 --> 00:25:04,000 Speaker 1: to buy oil from Russia, they want to buy it 443 00:25:04,040 --> 00:25:05,959 Speaker 1: from the Saudis, they want to ask them to increase 444 00:25:06,119 --> 00:25:09,320 Speaker 1: They want to be reliant on other countries when we 445 00:25:09,400 --> 00:25:11,639 Speaker 1: have the resources in our own country to take care 446 00:25:11,680 --> 00:25:14,240 Speaker 1: of our needs because we're still driving to work and 447 00:25:14,280 --> 00:25:16,600 Speaker 1: heating our homes and businesses and taking our kids to 448 00:25:16,760 --> 00:25:20,520 Speaker 1: soccer practice and football practice. So demand is the same, 449 00:25:20,560 --> 00:25:23,439 Speaker 1: but they choke off supply and then they scratch their 450 00:25:23,480 --> 00:25:26,720 Speaker 1: head when everything costs more. The same people that they 451 00:25:26,720 --> 00:25:30,240 Speaker 1: try to help, they're actually harming because it's the people 452 00:25:30,280 --> 00:25:33,280 Speaker 1: at the lower income bracket that pay a higher percentage 453 00:25:33,280 --> 00:25:36,800 Speaker 1: of their money on groceries and gasoline. And so it's 454 00:25:36,840 --> 00:25:40,239 Speaker 1: so frustrating in such common sense that we have to 455 00:25:40,280 --> 00:25:44,840 Speaker 1: have these honest conversations. And by the way, Oklahoma, everybody 456 00:25:44,840 --> 00:25:46,480 Speaker 1: thinks that we're just an oil and gas state. I'm 457 00:25:46,480 --> 00:25:48,520 Speaker 1: so proud of our oil and gas industry. We're actually 458 00:25:48,560 --> 00:25:50,800 Speaker 1: number four and oil number three. And natural gas. But 459 00:25:50,840 --> 00:25:54,439 Speaker 1: we're number two in wind energy production. We're not afraid 460 00:25:54,440 --> 00:25:57,520 Speaker 1: of renewables at all. But let's have an honest conversation 461 00:25:57,600 --> 00:26:01,000 Speaker 1: about meeting the needs of Americans with our own resources. 462 00:26:01,760 --> 00:26:04,960 Speaker 1: Governor Kevin Stead of Oklahoma, Governor of appreciate you making 463 00:26:04,960 --> 00:26:08,120 Speaker 1: the time for us, sir, Thanks so much. Oh absolutely, 464 00:26:08,160 --> 00:26:10,359 Speaker 1: thanks for having me on. So I want to tell 465 00:26:10,359 --> 00:26:13,520 Speaker 1: you guys a story quickly. Here.

I got word of this 468 00:26:23,200 --> 00:26:26,280 Speaker 1: through my friends at Norton LifeLock. There was a thousand 469 00:26:26,359 --> 00:26:28,960 Speaker 1: dollars that I owed to some cable company, but I 470 00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:31,960 Speaker 1: had never even had that cable company. How's this possible? Oh? 471 00:26:32,080 --> 00:26:36,440 Speaker 1: Someone used my information online to run up a thousand 472 00:26:36,440 --> 00:26:39,400 Speaker 1: dollars and this hurt my credit. And now I'm going 473 00:26:39,400 --> 00:26:41,640 Speaker 1: into a closing and I'm looking at getting a raid 474 00:26:41,720 --> 00:26:43,760 Speaker 1: on a house, and you can imagine the messis is right. 475 00:26:44,240 --> 00:26:47,760 Speaker 1: But the good news is I had Norton LifeLock, so 476 00:26:47,800 --> 00:26:50,679 Speaker 1: I called them up.

We've also an interesting 515 00:28:55,560 --> 00:28:59,719 Speaker 1: point here from Christopher in Kent, Ohio. We started off 516 00:28:59,720 --> 00:29:04,520 Speaker 1: today talking about oil. Christopher, thanks for calling in, Thank 517 00:29:04,520 --> 00:29:07,080 Speaker 1: you for taking my call. I just want to say 518 00:29:07,120 --> 00:29:11,520 Speaker 1: that energy independents, he's an information issue. It's a national 519 00:29:11,600 --> 00:29:16,440 Speaker 1: security issue. We used to have victory broads, paper drives, 520 00:29:16,840 --> 00:29:20,400 Speaker 1: weether drives when we were in war, and here we 521 00:29:20,400 --> 00:29:24,480 Speaker 1: are funding Ukraine and funding Russia at the same time. 522 00:29:25,240 --> 00:29:27,800 Speaker 1: Let me tell me that an energy card in production, 523 00:29:28,520 --> 00:29:31,640 Speaker 1: we are funding Russia. Oh it's you're absolutely thank you, Christopher. 524 00:29:31,640 --> 00:29:34,479 Speaker 1: You're absolutely right that energy is a national security issue, 525 00:29:34,520 --> 00:29:36,880 Speaker 1: and Democrats have made it one. We're much weaker on. 526 00:29:37,680 --> 00:29:40,240 Speaker 1: But we do have Tiffany Smiley with us now. She's 527 00:29:40,320 --> 00:29:45,000 Speaker 1: running for Senate up in Washington State. Tiffany, we told 528 00:29:45,040 --> 00:29:47,960 Speaker 1: everybody thanks for joining us a little bit about these 529 00:29:47,960 --> 00:29:51,520 Speaker 1: season desist orders. You're clearly making the lives nervous, which 530 00:29:51,560 --> 00:29:54,360 Speaker 1: nothing gets us more excited and happy than that in 531 00:29:54,400 --> 00:29:57,520 Speaker 1: a political race. What are they? What's with the season 532 00:29:57,560 --> 00:30:01,760 Speaker 1: desist orders from your political ads? Well, I think it's 533 00:30:01,800 --> 00:30:05,040 Speaker 1: clear that they're effective, and they're resonating, and they're telling 534 00:30:05,080 --> 00:30:09,200 Speaker 1: the truth, and they're moving voters. And look, we have 535 00:30:09,320 --> 00:30:12,040 Speaker 1: a real shot at winning this race because we are 536 00:30:12,080 --> 00:30:14,880 Speaker 1: connected with the issues that matters to the voters. I mean, 537 00:30:16,280 --> 00:30:19,440 Speaker 1: can I just ad is the Seattle Times really telling 538 00:30:19,480 --> 00:30:22,480 Speaker 1: you you can't use a Seattle Times headline to describe 539 00:30:22,520 --> 00:30:27,200 Speaker 1: something in Seattle in an ad. You are absolutely right, 540 00:30:27,240 --> 00:30:29,720 Speaker 1: And what they forgot to do was check back to 541 00:30:29,880 --> 00:30:34,160 Speaker 1: twenty sixteen when Senator Murray did the same thing and 542 00:30:34,240 --> 00:30:37,400 Speaker 1: they said nothing about it. So it's it's really interesting 543 00:30:37,440 --> 00:30:42,239 Speaker 1: how now they're you know, coming out strong. And I 544 00:30:42,280 --> 00:30:45,280 Speaker 1: think you know, it's important to note too, on the 545 00:30:45,400 --> 00:30:50,080 Speaker 1: Seattle Seahawks that they actually gave my husband that jersey 546 00:30:50,880 --> 00:30:54,040 Speaker 1: when he was the twelfth Man flag razor. The jersey 547 00:30:54,040 --> 00:30:56,840 Speaker 1: that you barely see in the ad, like barely see 548 00:30:56,880 --> 00:30:59,720 Speaker 1: for one to two seconds, is the twelfth Man jersey 549 00:30:59,720 --> 00:31:02,440 Speaker 1: that she said Miley on the back of it when 550 00:31:02,440 --> 00:31:06,400 Speaker 1: he raised the twelfth Man flag in twenty fourteen. Yeah, Tiffany, 551 00:31:06,640 --> 00:31:09,160 Speaker 1: I'm glad you brought that up because we obviously wrote 552 00:31:09,160 --> 00:31:11,040 Speaker 1: about that at alt Kick and I appreciate you coming 553 00:31:11,080 --> 00:31:14,160 Speaker 1: on the show and we're rooting for you to take 554 00:31:14,200 --> 00:31:17,400 Speaker 1: down Patty Murray and be the next representative in the 555 00:31:17,440 --> 00:31:21,880 Speaker 1: Senate from Washington. But we also had and went and 556 00:31:21,920 --> 00:31:24,680 Speaker 1: had our staff look up. There are a lot of 557 00:31:24,720 --> 00:31:30,400 Speaker 1: ads out there with Democrats wearing Seattle Seahawk jerseys where 558 00:31:30,440 --> 00:31:33,400 Speaker 1: you can actually see the logo where the full jersey 559 00:31:33,560 --> 00:31:36,240 Speaker 1: is visible and it doesn't appear. And we've asked the 560 00:31:36,280 --> 00:31:38,880 Speaker 1: Seahawks to comment on this. It doesn't appear that they 561 00:31:38,880 --> 00:31:43,360 Speaker 1: ever sent cease and assists to any of those Democrat candidates. 562 00:31:43,560 --> 00:31:45,400 Speaker 1: So do you think this was a Patty Murray special? 563 00:31:45,440 --> 00:31:47,719 Speaker 1: Do you think she went to Starbucks her team and 564 00:31:47,800 --> 00:31:50,840 Speaker 1: also went to the Seahawks and tried to get them 565 00:31:50,920 --> 00:31:53,479 Speaker 1: to do this to you? Where do you think the 566 00:31:53,560 --> 00:31:57,680 Speaker 1: impetus for this came from. I would not be surprised 567 00:31:57,760 --> 00:32:02,520 Speaker 1: if Patty Murray and her staff and her campaign rallied 568 00:32:02,680 --> 00:32:06,680 Speaker 1: her people or paying to these corporations or had allies 569 00:32:06,720 --> 00:32:11,160 Speaker 1: within those corporations to do this. That's really sad. It 570 00:32:11,200 --> 00:32:14,840 Speaker 1: clearly shows that she's threatened and she's worried, and she 571 00:32:14,960 --> 00:32:17,960 Speaker 1: knows that we are winning this race. But if but 572 00:32:18,040 --> 00:32:20,360 Speaker 1: it's unfortunate. You know, I always say, we're not just 573 00:32:20,640 --> 00:32:24,320 Speaker 1: taking down Patty Murray, We're taking down this whole Looke 574 00:32:24,480 --> 00:32:30,440 Speaker 1: corporate agenda that's destroyed Washington State and that hasn't held 575 00:32:30,520 --> 00:32:33,720 Speaker 1: Patty Murray accountable. You know, that insulates her from any 576 00:32:33,760 --> 00:32:38,200 Speaker 1: tough questioning, insulates her from being accountable to the voters. 577 00:32:38,280 --> 00:32:42,120 Speaker 1: For the last thirty years, she's had a free path. Right, 578 00:32:42,160 --> 00:32:45,360 Speaker 1: they've held her water for her and no more, not 579 00:32:45,400 --> 00:32:48,360 Speaker 1: on our watch, not on our family's watch. You know, 580 00:32:48,720 --> 00:32:50,520 Speaker 1: at the end of the day, these policies that we're 581 00:32:50,520 --> 00:32:53,960 Speaker 1: talking about the inspect real people. This is about real 582 00:32:54,000 --> 00:32:57,360 Speaker 1: people's lives. And that's why our campaign is winning, because 583 00:32:57,400 --> 00:33:01,080 Speaker 1: we have solutions to turn this crisis into hope. So, 584 00:33:01,200 --> 00:33:03,840 Speaker 1: Patty Maurice Desperate, I guarantee you she coordinated this. And 585 00:33:04,160 --> 00:33:06,400 Speaker 1: what a shame, you know, what an awful look for 586 00:33:06,440 --> 00:33:08,640 Speaker 1: a thirty year incumbent that you have to resort to 587 00:33:08,760 --> 00:33:11,959 Speaker 1: dirty tricks and hack to try to bring down your 588 00:33:11,960 --> 00:33:14,680 Speaker 1: opponent as the winning message. Yeah, and I want to 589 00:33:14,680 --> 00:33:16,400 Speaker 1: give you an opportunity because a lot of people are 590 00:33:16,400 --> 00:33:18,880 Speaker 1: still learning about your campaign as we sit here thirty 591 00:33:18,880 --> 00:33:21,360 Speaker 1: four days out. We're all over the state of Washington, 592 00:33:21,400 --> 00:33:23,440 Speaker 1: but also the country where people can donate money to 593 00:33:23,520 --> 00:33:27,440 Speaker 1: help you. Tell us your husband's story and how he 594 00:33:27,480 --> 00:33:31,160 Speaker 1: came to have that Seahawks jersey one more time, because 595 00:33:31,240 --> 00:33:34,560 Speaker 1: I think, frankly, it makes the behavior of the Seahawks 596 00:33:34,960 --> 00:33:40,880 Speaker 1: even more indefensible. Yes, no, it absolutely does. Our lives change. 597 00:33:40,880 --> 00:33:44,280 Speaker 1: When my husband was blinded by a suicide car bomb 598 00:33:44,600 --> 00:33:46,600 Speaker 1: in service to our country when he was serving in 599 00:33:46,680 --> 00:33:50,000 Speaker 1: Mosul Iraq. So at twenty three years old, I resigned 600 00:33:50,080 --> 00:33:52,720 Speaker 1: from my nursing job here in Washington State and took 601 00:33:52,720 --> 00:33:55,160 Speaker 1: a one way flight out to Walter Reed Army Medical Center. 602 00:33:55,600 --> 00:33:57,800 Speaker 1: I didn't know if I was going to meet Scottie 603 00:33:57,800 --> 00:34:00,360 Speaker 1: dead or alive, but I was going to be there. 604 00:34:00,960 --> 00:34:03,360 Speaker 1: And one thing was certain. The suicide bomber that he 605 00:34:03,400 --> 00:34:06,960 Speaker 1: was negotiating with detonated his car in the shrapnell obliterated 606 00:34:07,440 --> 00:34:12,080 Speaker 1: both of Scottie's eyes. So since that faiful day April six, 607 00:34:12,120 --> 00:34:14,879 Speaker 1: two thousand and five, Scotty's never seen He's never seen 608 00:34:14,920 --> 00:34:17,600 Speaker 1: our children's faces. They were all born after he was blind, 609 00:34:18,480 --> 00:34:21,080 Speaker 1: and I had this wild idea that he could serve 610 00:34:21,120 --> 00:34:24,480 Speaker 1: and that he would be a good steward of taxpayers dollars. 611 00:34:24,520 --> 00:34:26,400 Speaker 1: And I didn't like as a nurse. I didn't like 612 00:34:26,520 --> 00:34:28,880 Speaker 1: how they how the system was treating him. So I 613 00:34:28,880 --> 00:34:30,960 Speaker 1: took on the Army. Scotty went on and became the 614 00:34:31,000 --> 00:34:35,759 Speaker 1: first blind Actregity officer to ever serve our country. And 615 00:34:35,800 --> 00:34:38,319 Speaker 1: then I took on the VA because that was the 616 00:34:38,400 --> 00:34:41,720 Speaker 1: right thing to do, and it you know, when Scotty 617 00:34:41,800 --> 00:34:44,040 Speaker 1: was well we took on a PA and helped pass 618 00:34:44,160 --> 00:34:47,359 Speaker 1: meaningful reform for injured veterans and their families. And now 619 00:34:47,440 --> 00:34:50,360 Speaker 1: in this fight to take on thirty year incumbent Senator Murray, 620 00:34:51,080 --> 00:34:54,520 Speaker 1: who was failed Washington's data on every turn, and for 621 00:34:54,600 --> 00:34:57,640 Speaker 1: our family, this is this is service over self and 622 00:34:57,640 --> 00:35:01,000 Speaker 1: and country over party. This is about standing and being 623 00:35:01,000 --> 00:35:03,800 Speaker 1: a voice for all of Washington State. You know, Clay, 624 00:35:03,840 --> 00:35:07,160 Speaker 1: the Seahawks organization should honestly be ashamed. I mean, the 625 00:35:07,600 --> 00:35:10,839 Speaker 1: Seattle Times apparently doesn't know what the First Amendment is, 626 00:35:10,880 --> 00:35:13,600 Speaker 1: which is not surprising because all these media organizations want 627 00:35:13,600 --> 00:35:16,560 Speaker 1: to censor the opponents. But the Seahawks, I mean to 628 00:35:16,600 --> 00:35:18,880 Speaker 1: say that the Jersey in this context, now that everyone's 629 00:35:18,880 --> 00:35:22,160 Speaker 1: heard the story, they should be ashamed honestly as an organization. 630 00:35:22,680 --> 00:35:26,680 Speaker 1: And and tiffany Um, you know, we're just so proud 631 00:35:26,920 --> 00:35:29,799 Speaker 1: of what we're seeing here with you in a very 632 00:35:29,880 --> 00:35:34,560 Speaker 1: blue state making a very gallant run here for that 633 00:35:34,680 --> 00:35:36,600 Speaker 1: seat and to give the people of your state some 634 00:35:36,680 --> 00:35:40,520 Speaker 1: hope that they'll be representation. Yes, that is sane. I mean, 635 00:35:40,760 --> 00:35:43,640 Speaker 1: when you're we got people listening all across Washington State 636 00:35:43,719 --> 00:35:47,439 Speaker 1: right now, what do they need to know when we're 637 00:35:47,440 --> 00:35:50,280 Speaker 1: looking to see how you can close this gap. What's 638 00:35:50,400 --> 00:35:55,040 Speaker 1: different if you're representing Washingtonians in the in the United 639 00:35:55,080 --> 00:35:59,719 Speaker 1: States Senate. Um, we will deliver. We will actually bring 640 00:35:59,760 --> 00:36:02,279 Speaker 1: re ls to the customer. And that's the people of 641 00:36:02,320 --> 00:36:06,200 Speaker 1: Washington State. You know. I was at a homeless encampment 642 00:36:06,320 --> 00:36:08,520 Speaker 1: last week and it was this really special moment. We 643 00:36:08,560 --> 00:36:11,480 Speaker 1: were cleaning up and helping the residents there and cleaning 644 00:36:11,560 --> 00:36:13,799 Speaker 1: up dirty needles, and a woman from across the way 645 00:36:13,840 --> 00:36:16,360 Speaker 1: who was there helping clean up this encampment as well, 646 00:36:16,760 --> 00:36:19,759 Speaker 1: she came over and she said, Dipney's finally and said yes, 647 00:36:20,400 --> 00:36:23,800 Speaker 1: And she said, I'm a lifelong Democrat. I've always voted 648 00:36:23,840 --> 00:36:27,000 Speaker 1: for Patty Murray, and this year I'm voting for you. 649 00:36:27,600 --> 00:36:29,759 Speaker 1: And it was a special moment because here we were 650 00:36:29,920 --> 00:36:33,560 Speaker 1: on this homeless encampment, just wanting what's best for these people, 651 00:36:33,640 --> 00:36:37,520 Speaker 1: for our state, for Seattle. And it's really not about 652 00:36:37,560 --> 00:36:40,719 Speaker 1: Democrat or Republican. It's about American issues. It's about the 653 00:36:40,840 --> 00:36:44,160 Speaker 1: quality of life here in Washington State. It's about ensuring 654 00:36:44,200 --> 00:36:47,480 Speaker 1: that people are off drugs and have a shot and 655 00:36:47,520 --> 00:36:51,160 Speaker 1: have hope for the future. So we're delivering hope and 656 00:36:51,239 --> 00:36:54,880 Speaker 1: a solution to a better future. Patty Murray has no agenda, 657 00:36:55,480 --> 00:36:57,400 Speaker 1: no plan. You can go to both of our websites 658 00:36:57,400 --> 00:37:00,560 Speaker 1: and see the stark difference for yourself.

Was was 666 00:37:21,480 --> 00:37:24,680 Speaker 1: she was she a BLM supporter? By the way, was 667 00:37:24,840 --> 00:37:28,879 Speaker 1: Murray a BLM supporter in twenty twenty? So she went 668 00:37:28,880 --> 00:37:32,040 Speaker 1: on the Senate floor June of twenty twenty and she 669 00:37:32,200 --> 00:37:35,200 Speaker 1: called for funds to be diverted away from our police force. 670 00:37:35,560 --> 00:37:38,120 Speaker 1: And then she went into hiding. She actually disappeared. We 671 00:37:38,200 --> 00:37:41,800 Speaker 1: did not hear from her as Seattle was completely dismantled 672 00:37:42,560 --> 00:37:47,000 Speaker 1: with the Chop chads chop autonomous zone. Young kids were 673 00:37:47,000 --> 00:37:52,400 Speaker 1: actually murdered, women were raped. It was horrific and we 674 00:37:52,520 --> 00:37:55,400 Speaker 1: continue to see an increase in crime. Patty Murray sought 675 00:37:55,440 --> 00:38:00,440 Speaker 1: on crime policies have absolutely contributed to what we're facing today. Tiffany, 676 00:38:00,680 --> 00:38:03,239 Speaker 1: you were fighting for kids. You've got kids of your 677 00:38:03,280 --> 00:38:07,640 Speaker 1: own for them to be in schools. Patty Murray refused 678 00:38:07,680 --> 00:38:12,239 Speaker 1: to even acknowledge that shutting down schools was wrong. And 679 00:38:12,320 --> 00:38:15,319 Speaker 1: she didn't do that like six months ago. She did 680 00:38:15,320 --> 00:38:18,239 Speaker 1: it in the last few weeks. You're a mom. I 681 00:38:18,320 --> 00:38:19,880 Speaker 1: know there's a lot of other moms and dads that 682 00:38:19,920 --> 00:38:23,400 Speaker 1: are still furious about that. Doesn't she deserve to lose 683 00:38:23,520 --> 00:38:27,520 Speaker 1: just based on that she does? We are the campaign 684 00:38:27,840 --> 00:38:31,719 Speaker 1: for parents, So any parents out there listening, come join us. 685 00:38:32,040 --> 00:38:34,680 Speaker 1: We are fighting for our children, you know, Senator Murray did. 686 00:38:34,719 --> 00:38:38,040 Speaker 1: She doubled down, basically said she has no regrets with 687 00:38:38,160 --> 00:38:42,759 Speaker 1: how she handled the pandemic. I was meeting with a 688 00:38:42,960 --> 00:38:46,920 Speaker 1: psychologist yesterday and a sheriff from Nahomish County who made 689 00:38:46,920 --> 00:38:50,520 Speaker 1: it very clear that we are in a crisis, a 690 00:38:50,600 --> 00:38:54,359 Speaker 1: mental health crisis, and it was abuse what we did 691 00:38:54,400 --> 00:38:56,359 Speaker 1: to our kids. You know, we should be able to 692 00:38:56,360 --> 00:38:58,920 Speaker 1: walk and che've gone at the same time in this country, 693 00:38:59,160 --> 00:39:01,680 Speaker 1: and our children need to be in school. The Masks 694 00:39:01,840 --> 00:39:04,120 Speaker 1: needed to see the parents choice, and at that point 695 00:39:04,200 --> 00:39:06,760 Speaker 1: we could have followed the science and made educated guesses. 696 00:39:07,160 --> 00:39:09,160 Speaker 1: You are right. That alone is the reason that Patty 697 00:39:09,239 --> 00:39:13,840 Speaker 1: Murray needs to retire. She's completely out of touch. Tiffany Smiley, everybody, 698 00:39:14,040 --> 00:39:16,520 Speaker 1: she can pull it off if you help her our Washington, 699 00:39:16,600 --> 00:39:20,520 Speaker 1: Clay and Buck audience. Mobilize friends, get out there, get 700 00:39:20,560 --> 00:39:22,960 Speaker 1: friends to help her, get friends to knock on some doors. 701 00:39:22,960 --> 00:39:26,399 Speaker 1: Get out there and vote Clay. Our work has never done. Friend, 702 00:39:26,440 --> 00:39:29,680 Speaker 1: We got more tomorrow. Marsha Blackburn, senator here in Tennessee, 703 00:39:29,719 --> 00:39:31,759 Speaker 1: called her one of the best candidates she's ever seen. 704 00:39:31,920 --> 00:39:34,440 Speaker 1: You can make a difference in a big way. Washington. 705 00:39:34,600 --> 00:39:40,959 Speaker 1: Put Tiffany Smiley in the Senate fleet Travis and Buck 706 00:39:41,000 --> 00:39:53,520 Speaker 1: Sexton on the front lines. We have some calls up 707 00:39:54,520 --> 00:40:00,200 Speaker 1: and then we have a feud over expensive boot. It's 708 00:40:00,239 --> 00:40:02,719 Speaker 1: not really a feud with our friend Jesse Kelly. We 709 00:40:02,800 --> 00:40:05,040 Speaker 1: love Jesse Kelly and he's all He's a he's a 710 00:40:05,080 --> 00:40:07,759 Speaker 1: fellow Premiere Radio Networks host. As you guys know, he's 711 00:40:07,800 --> 00:40:11,080 Speaker 1: on his show is carried six to nine Eastern on 712 00:40:11,120 --> 00:40:13,239 Speaker 1: Premier Radio Networks and syndication. We were hanging out with 713 00:40:13,280 --> 00:40:16,920 Speaker 1: him last weekend. I had my engagement party last week 714 00:40:17,400 --> 00:40:19,719 Speaker 1: which was let's just put it was lit as the 715 00:40:19,800 --> 00:40:22,200 Speaker 1: kids would say. It was a lot lots of fun, Yes, 716 00:40:22,440 --> 00:40:25,400 Speaker 1: lots of fun. And then we went out and Jesse 717 00:40:25,680 --> 00:40:29,600 Speaker 1: ordered seventy five dollars shots of tequila four or the table, 718 00:40:29,840 --> 00:40:33,040 Speaker 1: four four of them for him for the table. And 719 00:40:33,080 --> 00:40:37,640 Speaker 1: then let's play this audio because frankly, it feels like 720 00:40:37,719 --> 00:40:41,040 Speaker 1: he's Joe Biden style blame shifting here a little bit 721 00:40:41,160 --> 00:40:44,120 Speaker 1: gas lighting uses on the price he tequila. I'm just 722 00:40:44,200 --> 00:40:46,960 Speaker 1: gonna say, because we said, like Biden talking about gas 723 00:40:47,080 --> 00:40:49,920 Speaker 1: and it's time to defend my honor from my former 724 00:40:49,960 --> 00:40:52,920 Speaker 1: friends Clay and Buck. Because the accusation, in case you 725 00:40:52,960 --> 00:40:55,640 Speaker 1: missed it, was this, we went out to some fancy 726 00:40:55,760 --> 00:40:58,759 Speaker 1: rooftop bar. I think Clay called it the Peninsula or 727 00:40:58,840 --> 00:41:01,239 Speaker 1: something like that. Again, I've never been in a place 728 00:41:01,280 --> 00:41:05,080 Speaker 1: like this before, and that I ordered expensive tequila shots. 729 00:41:05,160 --> 00:41:09,560 Speaker 1: And Clay even called me out for ordering tequila shots 730 00:41:09,600 --> 00:41:12,240 Speaker 1: at all because he said, there's a bottle of wine 731 00:41:12,400 --> 00:41:16,560 Speaker 1: on the table. Okay, a couple of things. One, they're 732 00:41:16,600 --> 00:41:22,960 Speaker 1: my friends, They're well aware that I'm white trash. I 733 00:41:23,040 --> 00:41:26,279 Speaker 1: don't drink wine, all right, So I thought it would 734 00:41:26,280 --> 00:41:30,040 Speaker 1: be appropriate to order the good pit tasting tequila. I 735 00:41:30,120 --> 00:41:32,880 Speaker 1: didn't know it was seventy five dollars a shot. But 736 00:41:33,000 --> 00:41:35,400 Speaker 1: that goes back to what I was ranting about yesterday, 737 00:41:35,520 --> 00:41:37,600 Speaker 1: how New York City has become a city of just 738 00:41:37,800 --> 00:41:40,400 Speaker 1: for rich people. I don't know how normal people were 739 00:41:40,400 --> 00:41:43,080 Speaker 1: supposed to go there and exist when it's twenty six 740 00:41:43,120 --> 00:41:46,319 Speaker 1: dollars for a burger and fries, sixteen dollars for a 741 00:41:46,320 --> 00:41:49,440 Speaker 1: breakfast bagel, and seventy five bucks for a shot at tequila. 742 00:41:49,680 --> 00:41:52,080 Speaker 1: But you think that you live in New York? What 743 00:41:52,200 --> 00:41:55,000 Speaker 1: did you think that? Because you said I told him. 744 00:41:55,320 --> 00:41:58,120 Speaker 1: I said, dude, this is gonna be the most expensive 745 00:41:58,200 --> 00:42:01,080 Speaker 1: round of drinks you've ever ordered. He's like, he's like, oh, tequila, 746 00:42:01,160 --> 00:42:04,040 Speaker 1: no problem, Like it's a party. I'm like, dude, this 747 00:42:03,920 --> 00:42:06,680 Speaker 1: is not Jose Quervo Gold you're ordering here. This is 748 00:42:06,719 --> 00:42:09,840 Speaker 1: something I ordered again cossert or Goones, which is owned 749 00:42:10,320 --> 00:42:12,680 Speaker 1: by the guy who owns all of I Heart. So 750 00:42:12,800 --> 00:42:15,400 Speaker 1: as if we weren't making him enough money, we're just 751 00:42:15,480 --> 00:42:18,000 Speaker 1: throwing more money at him. It is the most delicious. 752 00:42:18,239 --> 00:42:20,040 Speaker 1: But we told him, we said, it's the most delicious 753 00:42:20,040 --> 00:42:22,080 Speaker 1: tequila we've ever had. Like you and I agreed on 754 00:42:22,160 --> 00:42:23,759 Speaker 1: it's just the best to kill we've ever had. It's 755 00:42:23,840 --> 00:42:26,080 Speaker 1: very it's special. It's worth drinking just on its own, 756 00:42:26,560 --> 00:42:28,800 Speaker 1: and you know it's we don't buying in a in 757 00:42:28,840 --> 00:42:31,279 Speaker 1: a liquor store very much worth the price point the 758 00:42:31,320 --> 00:42:35,719 Speaker 1: Peninsula Hotel to the point here, you're paying twenty five 759 00:42:35,800 --> 00:42:38,520 Speaker 1: dollars for French fries with truffle sauce on it. Right, 760 00:42:38,719 --> 00:42:41,799 Speaker 1: there's no crazy there. We tried to tell him, but hey, 761 00:42:42,000 --> 00:42:44,719 Speaker 1: you know you'll learn. You'll learn things there, Houston guy, 762 00:42:44,800 --> 00:42:47,280 Speaker 1: You'll learn things. I will just point this out too. 763 00:42:48,440 --> 00:42:51,800 Speaker 1: In addition to being a Joe Biden like blame shifter, 764 00:42:52,719 --> 00:42:57,880 Speaker 1: I gotta say Jesse already had another drink. He ordered 765 00:42:58,239 --> 00:43:02,440 Speaker 1: an Old Fashion, which I love old fashions. We had 766 00:43:02,440 --> 00:43:05,240 Speaker 1: a bottle of wine. He could have had some red wine, 767 00:43:05,400 --> 00:43:08,400 Speaker 1: could have just drank it like a normal person. Instead 768 00:43:08,440 --> 00:43:12,479 Speaker 1: he goes old Fashion. And then which is my favorite drink? 769 00:43:12,520 --> 00:43:14,560 Speaker 1: My go to at a bar is an old Fashion. 770 00:43:14,920 --> 00:43:20,080 Speaker 1: I love the Buffalo trace Weller, that entire group of bourbons. 771 00:43:20,280 --> 00:43:24,640 Speaker 1: They are fantastic. I loved that company, but no issues 772 00:43:24,640 --> 00:43:27,120 Speaker 1: with the Old Fashion. But he's pretending like he didn't 773 00:43:27,160 --> 00:43:29,399 Speaker 1: have anything to drink, and that was why he had 774 00:43:29,440 --> 00:43:31,920 Speaker 1: to order the tequila shots. No, no, he had his 775 00:43:31,960 --> 00:43:35,439 Speaker 1: own drink outside of the wine. I'm just I'm sorry 776 00:43:35,440 --> 00:43:37,480 Speaker 1: for being civilized, by the way, and I'm sorry for 777 00:43:37,600 --> 00:43:41,080 Speaker 1: being an incredibly civilized person and being able to have 778 00:43:41,239 --> 00:43:44,120 Speaker 1: just wish we had taken photos top of Jesse as 779 00:43:44,120 --> 00:43:47,120 Speaker 1: he was ordering the seventy five dollars shots of tequila, 780 00:43:47,239 --> 00:43:50,360 Speaker 1: wearing his top hat and his monocle with his cowboy boots. 781 00:43:50,400 --> 00:43:52,600 Speaker 1: I just wish we had taken the photo at the time, 782 00:43:53,080 --> 00:43:54,839 Speaker 1: you know, while he was And let me point this 783 00:43:54,880 --> 00:43:56,760 Speaker 1: out too, He's trying to claim that he's a redneck. 784 00:43:57,239 --> 00:44:01,840 Speaker 1: I'm the one who's actually from redneck country. I'm from Nashville, Tennessee. 785 00:44:01,880 --> 00:44:05,279 Speaker 1: We are like the staple of the redneck community, all right. 786 00:44:05,320 --> 00:44:10,120 Speaker 1: And I'm not even from a nice area really of Nashville, Tennessee. 787 00:44:10,200 --> 00:44:11,360 Speaker 1: For those of you who know that, I grew up 788 00:44:11,360 --> 00:44:15,280 Speaker 1: in Goodlettsville, which is like like on the north side 789 00:44:15,280 --> 00:44:18,200 Speaker 1: of town, barely like hanging on to the edge the 790 00:44:18,280 --> 00:44:22,440 Speaker 1: periphery of Nashville. Fabulous place to grow up. It's not 791 00:44:22,480 --> 00:44:25,759 Speaker 1: like it's a wealthy place. I was surrounded by rednecks. 792 00:44:26,520 --> 00:44:32,280 Speaker 1: Jesse Kelly, I know rednecks you're no redneck. Wow. Wow, 793 00:44:32,600 --> 00:44:36,160 Speaker 1: he's from Ohio and Arizona. He is going to challenge 794 00:44:36,160 --> 00:44:38,360 Speaker 1: you to a one on one basketball match and dunk 795 00:44:38,360 --> 00:44:41,359 Speaker 1: without jumping over and over and over. Certainly could happen. 796 00:44:41,400 --> 00:44:43,320 Speaker 1: I'm not getting my picture taken with him ever again 797 00:44:43,360 --> 00:44:47,000 Speaker 1: because I was The comments were savage. Everybody thinks that 798 00:44:47,040 --> 00:44:49,800 Speaker 1: you and I are Froto and Bilbo whenever we stand 799 00:44:49,840 --> 00:44:52,160 Speaker 1: next to him. It's not actually true. I am six 800 00:44:52,200 --> 00:44:55,200 Speaker 1: foot tall, and next to Jesse Kelly, I look like 801 00:44:55,239 --> 00:44:58,560 Speaker 1: I'm five four and I've never been attacked for my 802 00:44:58,640 --> 00:45:01,120 Speaker 1: height ever to my knowledge, in my way. And he's 803 00:45:01,160 --> 00:45:03,440 Speaker 1: not allowed to hug us some photos anymore because like 804 00:45:03,640 --> 00:45:06,360 Speaker 1: the top of my head goes into his armpit. I 805 00:45:06,400 --> 00:45:08,240 Speaker 1: feel like I'm a I feel like I'm a toddler 806 00:45:08,320 --> 00:45:11,120 Speaker 1: or something. It's not exact, it is definitely into. He 807 00:45:11,160 --> 00:45:13,360 Speaker 1: also took shots by the way, at the at the 808 00:45:13,400 --> 00:45:15,759 Speaker 1: food at Your at Your Engagement, he said that crab 809 00:45:15,800 --> 00:45:18,520 Speaker 1: cakes were small. I told them Paul Bunyan was coming, 810 00:45:18,560 --> 00:45:20,439 Speaker 1: and they thought I was kidding. Turns they didn't even 811 00:45:20,440 --> 00:45:22,120 Speaker 1: know there were crab cakes there, so I didn't even 812 00:45:22,120 --> 00:45:23,799 Speaker 1: see him. So I feel like I was cheated any 813 00:45:23,840 --> 00:45:25,839 Speaker 1: crab cakes or a staple. We did have bacon rap 814 00:45:25,920 --> 00:45:27,920 Speaker 1: shrimp too, by the way, which I think you can 815 00:45:27,960 --> 00:45:29,759 Speaker 1: never go wrong with bacon. That was very good. Like 816 00:45:29,760 --> 00:45:33,040 Speaker 1: that's even Ron Swanson loves bacon rap shrimp.
