This is the best of with 7 00:00:19,079 --> 00:00:20,800 Speaker 2: Clay Travis and Buck Sexton. 8 00:00:21,040 --> 00:00:25,560 Speaker 1: Welcome back in Clay Travis Buck Sexton Show. Everybody, by 9 00:00:25,600 --> 00:00:28,600 Speaker 1: the way, is reacting. Everybody thinks it's as crazy as 10 00:00:28,720 --> 00:00:32,320 Speaker 1: you and I do. Buck. It's an embarrassment to France 11 00:00:32,360 --> 00:00:36,640 Speaker 1: that they could steal the Crown Jewels. If somebody could 12 00:00:36,680 --> 00:00:40,240 Speaker 1: go in and steal this sounds like a Nicholas Cage 13 00:00:40,280 --> 00:00:45,280 Speaker 1: movie because it is the Declaration of Independence or the Constitution, 14 00:00:46,560 --> 00:00:49,280 Speaker 1: I would say, yeah, we really blew it here. I 15 00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:53,400 Speaker 1: would guess that's probably the top thing that could be 16 00:00:53,479 --> 00:00:58,520 Speaker 1: stolen in America. The French Crown jewels just being stolen 17 00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:02,360 Speaker 1: is embarrassing. As part of all my reading about the 18 00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:06,119 Speaker 1: French Crown Jewels being stolen, I forgot, you know, they 19 00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:12,240 Speaker 1: stole the Mona Lisa in the early nineteen hundreds. So 20 00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:17,880 Speaker 1: if you were France and you had had previously the 21 00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:21,959 Speaker 1: Mona Lisa stolen out of the same museum one hundred 22 00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:25,679 Speaker 1: years ago. Don't you think you would have said, hey, 23 00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:30,120 Speaker 1: let's make sure that none of our priceless artifacts ever 24 00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:36,880 Speaker 1: get stolen again. And yet France somehow allowed this to occur. 25 00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:40,319 Speaker 1: And to your point, Buck, it was the middle of 26 00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:44,880 Speaker 1: the day. They just pulled in a lift, They went 27 00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:49,280 Speaker 1: in through the second floor window. They were there for 28 00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:53,920 Speaker 1: I've seen different reports seven to ten minutes, which is 29 00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:57,560 Speaker 1: a really long time to be in the most secure 30 00:01:57,720 --> 00:02:01,240 Speaker 1: museum in your country. It should be. And then they 31 00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:04,680 Speaker 1: left on motorcycles and now they have no idea where 32 00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:06,840 Speaker 1: they are. And you mentioned, you know, it's hard to 33 00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:11,400 Speaker 1: sell these, and I think that's probably true. But my 34 00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:17,480 Speaker 1: expert knowledge from the very high end television show Outer Banks, 35 00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:21,959 Speaker 1: one possibility would be that they just melt this down 36 00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:24,680 Speaker 1: for the jewels. But that doesn't seem like such a 37 00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:28,000 Speaker 1: good move because of the problem is historic value. You 38 00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:30,720 Speaker 1: can't you can't you can't melt the jewel. These are 39 00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:34,200 Speaker 1: diamonds and emeralds, so you're not gonna melt those down, right, 40 00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:38,560 Speaker 1: You got to keep them whole? Can you you melt diamonds? 41 00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:40,040 Speaker 1: I don't think you can know, well, I think you 42 00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:43,200 Speaker 1: melt the gold and then you isolate all of the 43 00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:46,560 Speaker 1: diamonds for the value. But out these diamonds and these 44 00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:50,720 Speaker 1: emeralds are going to be so big, like you're not 45 00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:53,360 Speaker 1: gonna able to go on the on the open market. 46 00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:56,640 Speaker 1: You're like, hey, I just happened to have this twenty 47 00:02:56,800 --> 00:02:59,679 Speaker 1: carried emerald that I found. Uh, you know, I I 48 00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:06,680 Speaker 1: am simultaneously impressed by the hutzpah of the robbers because 49 00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:10,320 Speaker 1: I mean, they decided we're going to steal the French 50 00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:13,720 Speaker 1: crown jewels and they managed to do it. I would 51 00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:17,040 Speaker 1: imagine that they have been preparing for this for some time, 52 00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:19,840 Speaker 1: although the report is they dropped one of the most 53 00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:25,200 Speaker 1: valuable assets, like the one of the crowns I think 54 00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:28,359 Speaker 1: or something, and so it was left behind and damaged. 55 00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:33,200 Speaker 1: But I wonder, do you think this is some insanely 56 00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:37,400 Speaker 1: wealthy person who funds this, because what is the motivation 57 00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:41,000 Speaker 1: here other than embarrassing the French government, Because I can't 58 00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:45,040 Speaker 1: imagine that it pays actually that well, unless there's some 59 00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:47,800 Speaker 1: super rich billionaire who just decided he had to have 60 00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:51,560 Speaker 1: the Impress's the Impress's necklace. Right. 61 00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:53,720 Speaker 3: It's like you're going on Thomas Crown affair, like maybe 62 00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:55,000 Speaker 3: there's somebody out there who's just. 63 00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:56,400 Speaker 1: So bored with his life. He's like, you know what 64 00:03:56,440 --> 00:03:58,680 Speaker 1: I'm going to do. I'm going to steal the French 65 00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:02,600 Speaker 1: crown jewels out of the louver. So I don't know. 66 00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:06,760 Speaker 1: I wonder if some Middle Eastern shake. 67 00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:09,680 Speaker 3: Well, that's kind of my thought, wonder wants so badly 68 00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:13,040 Speaker 3: to have the French crown jewels in his in his 69 00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:16,880 Speaker 3: safe that he would But that's I gotta run if 70 00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:18,920 Speaker 3: in high risks here if that's true. 71 00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:24,000 Speaker 1: It's not the you know, Middle Eastern ruler. Yeah. 72 00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:26,360 Speaker 3: Also, just there's more fun thing like go buy yourself 73 00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:28,839 Speaker 3: a European soccer team or something. 74 00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:30,040 Speaker 1: You know what I mean, do what all the other 75 00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:34,880 Speaker 1: super rich foreign guys do. I mean the crown jewels, 76 00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:37,400 Speaker 1: I don't know what you do with them. My thought is, 77 00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:39,919 Speaker 1: if it's true that it was some Middle Eastern shake 78 00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:42,640 Speaker 1: or something that says, hey, go get the the Empress 79 00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:46,400 Speaker 1: Josephine's you know, necklace. This is kind of the Middle 80 00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:50,440 Speaker 1: Eastern shake equivalent of when Kobe bought his wife the 81 00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:53,280 Speaker 1: twelve million dollar ring after he got caught cheating on her. 82 00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:56,880 Speaker 1: Like one of those middle Eastern cheeks did something really bad, 83 00:04:57,000 --> 00:04:59,440 Speaker 1: and he's like, She's like, the only way I'll stay 84 00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:03,560 Speaker 1: with you is if you get me the Impress Josephine's necklace. 85 00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:05,120 Speaker 1: And he's like, all right, I guess we got to 86 00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:07,480 Speaker 1: get the Impress Josephine's necklace, right, Like, do you remember 87 00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:11,560 Speaker 1: Kobe when he got caught? Actually was I was the woman. 88 00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:15,719 Speaker 1: The woman accused him of raping her, yes, right of rape, 89 00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:18,880 Speaker 1: and his wife stayed with him after the rape accusation. 90 00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:22,080 Speaker 1: But they had a press conference and she showed up 91 00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:25,880 Speaker 1: with a diamond that was like a twenty Carrit's like 92 00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:29,040 Speaker 1: twenty somebody, look up how big the diamond? It was 93 00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:31,320 Speaker 1: like four carrots. Clay, I don't think it was. I 94 00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:33,159 Speaker 1: think it was like twenty carrots is like a is 95 00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:36,560 Speaker 1: like a football. I think she basically showed up with 96 00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:39,680 Speaker 1: a with a flashlight sized diamond. I mean, like it 97 00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:42,560 Speaker 1: blinded everyone at the press conference. They were like, why 98 00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:44,880 Speaker 1: did you decide to stay with Kobe? And she like 99 00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:47,720 Speaker 1: raised her hand and four people lost their eyesight when 100 00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:51,160 Speaker 1: they caught the reflection from the diamond. Eight It was eight. 101 00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:53,440 Speaker 1: So we kind of split the difference between us. I said, four. 102 00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:57,240 Speaker 1: You said twenty is eighty twenty carrot ring would be 103 00:05:57,279 --> 00:06:01,520 Speaker 1: like a baseball eight car ring is a ridiculous ring. 104 00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:05,440 Speaker 1: And this was pre all the fake diamonds, right, like 105 00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:06,720 Speaker 1: the diamond industry. 106 00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:10,520 Speaker 3: On a second, they're not fake diamonds you're talking about necessarily, 107 00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:12,720 Speaker 3: there are such things as fake diamonds. You're talking about 108 00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:17,720 Speaker 3: lab dimonrect and I know some people in the jewel business, 109 00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:22,919 Speaker 3: and they're real diamonds. They're just made under laboratory conditions. 110 00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:26,919 Speaker 3: Oh yeah, much less expense. Basically natural diamonds and no 111 00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:31,000 Speaker 3: one's hands get chopped off in in Africa by the 112 00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:33,080 Speaker 3: warlords who are trying to mind them, you know, the 113 00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:33,920 Speaker 3: blood diamonds stuff. 114 00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:38,000 Speaker 1: Yeah. No, it's basically destroyed the diamond industry because they're 115 00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:40,919 Speaker 1: able to produce the synthetic diamonds. I think is the 116 00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:45,120 Speaker 1: technical term that instead of fake. Uh that people to 117 00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:47,760 Speaker 1: a large extent can't tell the different. It's a lab. 118 00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:50,640 Speaker 1: I believe lab dimond is synthetic is at a right 119 00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:52,560 Speaker 1: ord too. I don't know by the way, but till 120 00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:54,880 Speaker 1: that's probably accurate. But I'm just saying that they're usually 121 00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:57,360 Speaker 1: lab diamonds. Is how lab grown diamonds. 122 00:06:57,400 --> 00:06:59,000 Speaker 3: I think I remember this from when I was buying 123 00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:01,880 Speaker 3: carry her and agement ring and people were I did 124 00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:05,120 Speaker 3: not go LAB. I probably should have gone lab because 125 00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:07,000 Speaker 3: that was I told her this the most expensive thing 126 00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:08,640 Speaker 3: I ever bought in my life ever, because I didn't 127 00:07:08,640 --> 00:07:11,440 Speaker 3: own a home, was was my wife's engagement room. 128 00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:14,000 Speaker 1: With Well, this is also where you didn't get married 129 00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:16,800 Speaker 1: till after you already made money. See, I didn't have 130 00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:20,640 Speaker 1: any money, I don't think. By the way, Kobe's ring 131 00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:24,920 Speaker 1: was valued at four million dollars twenty years ago, so 132 00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:28,240 Speaker 1: this is probably close to a ten million dollar ring 133 00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:32,080 Speaker 1: in modern you know, the way that Biden inflation has gone. 134 00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:36,040 Speaker 1: I didn't have much money when I got engaged. In fact, 135 00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:38,600 Speaker 1: I think I had. I certainly had a negative next war, 136 00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:41,640 Speaker 1: a negative net worth and when I got engaged, so 137 00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:44,080 Speaker 1: it was a lot of money to meet, but it 138 00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:46,320 Speaker 1: wasn't a lot of money in the larger context. You, 139 00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:48,920 Speaker 1: on the other hand, you get married, you're already you 140 00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:51,480 Speaker 1: had to you had to produce a good ring because 141 00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:53,760 Speaker 1: you got real money. Now, so well, they do this 142 00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:56,480 Speaker 1: thing of three months so that salary that's great, which 143 00:07:56,560 --> 00:07:59,200 Speaker 1: is insane. But guys, all right, I'm gonna tell you said, right, 144 00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:00,440 Speaker 1: for all the game, we don't have a lot of 145 00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:03,240 Speaker 1: unmarried guys listening who are still want to get married. 146 00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:04,720 Speaker 1: We have, we have some, but you know, I think 147 00:08:04,760 --> 00:08:08,440 Speaker 1: a lot we we we specialize our audience is overwhelmingly 148 00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:11,480 Speaker 1: gonna be people who are married or have been married, right, 149 00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:14,040 Speaker 1: I think that that's true. We don't have a lot 150 00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:16,520 Speaker 1: of guys in their twenties and thirties in particular who 151 00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:18,040 Speaker 1: are like looking to get married. But for any of 152 00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:20,040 Speaker 1: you out there, we'll tell you a few things. Do 153 00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:25,920 Speaker 1: not go into debt for uh, for diamonds, for vacations, 154 00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:30,840 Speaker 1: or for anything that that that you know, weddings do 155 00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:33,720 Speaker 1: not go in debt for weddings or rings. 156 00:08:34,040 --> 00:08:35,679 Speaker 3: This is the next thing I was gonna say, right, 157 00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:38,080 Speaker 3: because you brought up like, yeah, I'd already had I'd achieved, 158 00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:40,520 Speaker 3: you know, a little bit of professional success when Karen 159 00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:44,120 Speaker 3: and I got married, and and we I mean, I'll 160 00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:49,280 Speaker 3: tell you, like, our wedding costs less than it basically 161 00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:51,760 Speaker 3: costs like the national average, but we're doing it in 162 00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:55,000 Speaker 3: New York City and Miami Beach costs less than a 163 00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:58,079 Speaker 3: third of what the average wedding would cost. Because I 164 00:08:58,160 --> 00:09:01,040 Speaker 3: don't understand, you know, in those places, because you know, 165 00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:03,480 Speaker 3: why are people spending all this money on this stuff? 166 00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:05,880 Speaker 3: I think this is crazy, the pressure you get. You know, 167 00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:10,319 Speaker 3: you shouldn't have to get Napoleon's Empress Josephine Crown jewels. 168 00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:11,439 Speaker 1: For a lady to love you.

Look, 170 00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:17,480 Speaker 1: I I would tell everybody out there, and I know 171 00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:19,920 Speaker 1: there's a lot of dads and moms nodding along right now, 172 00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:24,400 Speaker 1: I would. I would encourage you have way less of 173 00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:28,080 Speaker 1: a wedding, way less of a ring, and use money 174 00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:32,199 Speaker 1: to try and buy a place, like somewhere to live 175 00:09:32,360 --> 00:09:36,000 Speaker 1: for you. Put that into the house fund instead. I'm 176 00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:37,640 Speaker 1: gonna tell my kids this. I don't even know what 177 00:09:37,679 --> 00:09:40,160 Speaker 1: the rules are now. I've got three boys. It used 178 00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:42,400 Speaker 1: to be the dad paying. You're not paying for any wedding. 179 00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:45,040 Speaker 1: By the way, technically, I'm paying for all the weddings. 180 00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:48,280 Speaker 1: I bet that's probably. That's that's probably I'm gonna end 181 00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:50,440 Speaker 1: up paying for a lot of the weddings. But I'm 182 00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:53,959 Speaker 1: telling my boys, hey, you should.

I think I think 187 00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:04,680 Speaker 1: I can see Mexico from here. Yeah, I think, yeah, 188 00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:07,880 Speaker 1: you can almost see Mexico. Get up there pretty high. 189 00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:11,080 Speaker 1: You know what I've learned, buck rooftop pool there, the 190 00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:14,360 Speaker 1: bugs don't get that high. It's a problem I didn't know, 191 00:10:14,920 --> 00:10:17,680 Speaker 1: Like the the bugs get in the pool when you're 192 00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:20,240 Speaker 1: down low. The higher up in the sky you go, 193 00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:23,160 Speaker 1: the bugs bugs don't fly that high. But it's something 194 00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:24,959 Speaker 1: that I've learned. There's no bugs in the pool the 195 00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:27,680 Speaker 1: high Like if you got a high level pool, there's 196 00:10:27,720 --> 00:10:30,559 Speaker 1: no bugs. It's like everything gets better. But I'm gonna 197 00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:32,600 Speaker 1: end up paying. But I'm gonna tell my kids now 198 00:10:32,600 --> 00:10:35,040 Speaker 1: I've already talked to him. Hey, weddings are great, it's 199 00:10:35,120 --> 00:10:39,360 Speaker 1: fun to celebrate them, but I will I would rather 200 00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:42,560 Speaker 1: help give you the money that I would spend on 201 00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:45,520 Speaker 1: the wedding to be in part of your house fund, 202 00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:48,640 Speaker 1: which actually benefits you and as a good investment, then 203 00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:53,720 Speaker 1: just throw a crazy extravagant wedding, which, by the way, 204 00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:56,000 Speaker 1: just to be fair, A lot of weddings don't last. 205 00:10:56,040 --> 00:10:58,640 Speaker 1: A lot of marriages don't last that long. All right, Well, 206 00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:02,280 Speaker 1: let's imagine if you were a dad and a mom 207 00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:05,520 Speaker 1: and you spend one hundred k on a wedding and 208 00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:08,840 Speaker 1: two years later your kids are getting divorced. I would 209 00:11:08,880 --> 00:11:12,760 Speaker 1: want a refund on my hundred k. I was plus 210 00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:14,520 Speaker 1: one to a I was a plus one to a 211 00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:17,559 Speaker 1: very extravagant wedding in Long Island that lasted. They were 212 00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:20,120 Speaker 1: married six months. So I what do you think the 213 00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:24,680 Speaker 1: wedding cost three grand? Probably so, Matt, I mean, this 214 00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:27,560 Speaker 1: is insane. Imagine that you and and not even for 215 00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:29,040 Speaker 1: the people who throw it on. I think you should 216 00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:30,960 Speaker 1: have to return the gifts and get your money back. 217 00:11:31,240 --> 00:11:34,120 Speaker 1: You only last six months. I mean, whatever wedding register 218 00:11:34,280 --> 00:11:36,520 Speaker 1: you got, like, why why should you not get your 219 00:11:36,520 --> 00:11:37,560 Speaker 1: money back on the gift too? 220 00:11:37,920 --> 00:11:39,280 Speaker 3: But I'll just tell you for all that for the 221 00:11:39,280 --> 00:11:41,480 Speaker 3: guys out there, if you if you give the ring 222 00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:44,920 Speaker 3: and you get any sense or you know, you say 223 00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:47,760 Speaker 3: William Barry me, you get any sense that the ring 224 00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:51,240 Speaker 3: itself is some kind of issue, and or you hear 225 00:11:51,720 --> 00:11:55,360 Speaker 3: via the grapevine that like the ring like the answer 226 00:11:55,440 --> 00:11:57,439 Speaker 3: is a yes, but the ring is disappointing. 227 00:11:58,360 --> 00:12:01,280 Speaker 1: Don't do it, boys, you need to do it. Run 228 00:12:01,679 --> 00:12:05,920 Speaker 1: it's not good. Really, Yeah, you need to know, you 229 00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:07,439 Speaker 1: need to know. And I wonder if some of the 230 00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:09,360 Speaker 1: ladies are gonna wigh on this one. They know, they 231 00:12:09,400 --> 00:12:12,200 Speaker 1: know we've got We've got a lot of wise ladies 232 00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:14,920 Speaker 1: who listen in here, and they know that. I felt 233 00:12:14,920 --> 00:12:16,959 Speaker 1: the same way on the ring. Would you rather have 234 00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:20,920 Speaker 1: an expensive ring or a husband who is going to 235 00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:23,600 Speaker 1: be thinking about the long range future here and he's 236 00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:25,400 Speaker 1: trying to think of a place to buy, he wants 237 00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:27,800 Speaker 1: to start a house fund. I've said this before. I 238 00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:32,120 Speaker 1: do think it's funny for girls out there, if you 239 00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:37,040 Speaker 1: got daughters, if you got granddaughters. Knowing a guy's credit rating, 240 00:12:37,559 --> 00:12:39,920 Speaker 1: I think is almost more valuable than anything else I'm 241 00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:41,840 Speaker 1: talking about. If you're getting married to a guy who's 242 00:12:41,880 --> 00:12:44,040 Speaker 1: twenty eight or thirty two or thirty four, you know, 243 00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:47,200 Speaker 1: in that range, does he have a decent credit rating 244 00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:49,720 Speaker 1: where That's what I would want to know. The job matters, 245 00:12:50,040 --> 00:12:54,080 Speaker 1: but also is he capable of understanding basic finance such 246 00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:56,960 Speaker 1: that his credit rating is going to be able to 247 00:12:57,000 --> 00:12:59,120 Speaker 1: help get you a mortgage? That's what I'd want to know. 248 00:12:59,160 --> 00:13:01,120 Speaker 1: If I was a chick, be like, Okay, it's great. 249 00:13:01,160 --> 00:13:03,240 Speaker 1: You know you're six foot, you got a decent s out. 250 00:13:03,280 --> 00:13:06,000 Speaker 1: What's your credit reading?

When my two daughters 267 00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:01,920 Speaker 4: have got married, when they we're planning their wedding, my 268 00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:04,560 Speaker 4: wife and I sat down with them and our potential 269 00:14:04,559 --> 00:14:07,920 Speaker 4: son in law and negotiated a fair, a nice but 270 00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:11,480 Speaker 4: fair wedding cost. And when we got done, I said, Okay, 271 00:14:11,520 --> 00:14:13,280 Speaker 4: you're going to get half the money up front, you 272 00:14:13,440 --> 00:14:15,920 Speaker 4: get the other half on your wedding day, and anything 273 00:14:15,960 --> 00:14:18,560 Speaker 4: that's left over you can keep. And boy did they 274 00:14:18,640 --> 00:14:20,680 Speaker 4: change their tune and start cutting back on costs and 275 00:14:20,720 --> 00:14:21,920 Speaker 4: they kept them balanced. 276 00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:25,800 Speaker 1: For advice, I love this, I love this advice. I mean, 277 00:14:25,840 --> 00:14:29,240 Speaker 1: if you got rational kids that are getting married out there, 278 00:14:29,280 --> 00:14:31,600 Speaker 1: if you're the kid that is listening to us right now, 279 00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:35,560 Speaker 1: who is going to get married one day, financial issues 280 00:14:35,760 --> 00:14:38,920 Speaker 1: going to sound like an old man now, often derail 281 00:14:39,680 --> 00:14:44,400 Speaker 1: marriages more than almost anything, right, Couples fight over money. 282 00:14:44,640 --> 00:14:47,600 Speaker 1: There's very strong chance that you and your spouse may 283 00:14:47,640 --> 00:14:52,000 Speaker 1: have different standards of expenses or understanding of how money 284 00:14:52,040 --> 00:14:56,400 Speaker 1: should be allocated. And so starting off with something that 285 00:14:56,560 --> 00:14:59,440 Speaker 1: is a common goal, being able to build a home, 286 00:14:59,560 --> 00:15:03,120 Speaker 1: and not starting off in debt, my goodness. I just 287 00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:05,800 Speaker 1: the choices that people make. Can you imagine Bud getting 288 00:15:05,840 --> 00:15:09,520 Speaker 1: married and owing fifty K to help pay off your wedding. 289 00:15:10,240 --> 00:15:12,800 Speaker 1: I would I were the guys, we're here to help 290 00:15:12,840 --> 00:15:14,520 Speaker 1: you out with this not worth it? You'd have an 291 00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:19,120 Speaker 1: My actual wedding, we had twenty five people. Yeah, my 292 00:15:19,240 --> 00:15:21,520 Speaker 1: actual wedding, we had twenty five people. Basically, I think 293 00:15:21,520 --> 00:15:23,200 Speaker 1: that was the number. Carry my correct meess you would 294 00:15:23,240 --> 00:15:24,840 Speaker 1: know better than it was something like that, and we 295 00:15:24,880 --> 00:15:25,680 Speaker 1: loved it. It was perfect. 296 00:15:25,720 --> 00:15:27,680 Speaker 3: It ever had a great time. So you know, it 297 00:15:27,720 --> 00:15:29,680 Speaker 3: was in the church, it was our families and that 298 00:15:29,760 --> 00:15:31,360 Speaker 3: was it and that was all we needed. Now, we 299 00:15:31,400 --> 00:15:33,080 Speaker 3: threw a big party. But when you're just throwing a 300 00:15:33,120 --> 00:15:34,800 Speaker 3: party without all the wedding stuff, you know, Clay, you 301 00:15:34,840 --> 00:15:37,480 Speaker 3: came to that. Yeah, that's we had one hundred and 302 00:15:37,520 --> 00:15:39,800 Speaker 3: eighty people at a party, but the expense wasn't that 303 00:15:39,880 --> 00:15:41,920 Speaker 3: much because it was it was a three hour party, 304 00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:44,360 Speaker 3: that's right. It's not the thing with weddings is you. 305 00:15:44,280 --> 00:15:47,120 Speaker 1: Get into all this other stuff and it gets all 306 00:15:47,160 --> 00:15:50,640 Speaker 1: all Yeah. They play up on everybody's insecurity by saying, well, 307 00:15:50,720 --> 00:15:53,600 Speaker 1: you could choose not to do this, but most people do, 308 00:15:53,920 --> 00:15:56,400 Speaker 1: you know. And look, if you are fortunate enough to 309 00:15:56,480 --> 00:15:58,240 Speaker 1: have the money as a dad or mom and you 310 00:15:58,280 --> 00:16:00,840 Speaker 1: want to throw a big party, that's fine. You can 311 00:16:00,920 --> 00:16:01,920 Speaker 1: spend money however you. 312 00:16:01,840 --> 00:16:04,280 Speaker 3: Want it exactly. Anyone who has the money to burn 313 00:16:04,320 --> 00:16:05,760 Speaker 3: We're not telling you what to do with that. I'm 314 00:16:05,760 --> 00:16:08,120 Speaker 3: just saying it's not worth it to go into debt, yes, 315 00:16:08,560 --> 00:16:11,200 Speaker 3: which people do, which is bonkers. It's not going to 316 00:16:11,320 --> 00:16:12,080 Speaker 3: debt for a vacation. 317 00:16:12,160 --> 00:16:14,200 Speaker 1: How do you enjoy your vacation when you're running up 318 00:16:14,200 --> 00:16:16,680 Speaker 1: a twenty thousand dollars credit card debt on it? It's nuts, 319 00:16:16,760 --> 00:16:20,200 Speaker 1: It's nuts. And again I would echo what Buck said. 320 00:16:20,880 --> 00:16:24,320 Speaker 1: If the girl is gonna be upset about the size 321 00:16:24,320 --> 00:16:28,280 Speaker 1: of the ring, you need to run in other directions. 322 00:16:28,400 --> 00:16:30,360 Speaker 1: Not gonna get it's not gonna get better, guys, it's 323 00:16:30,360 --> 00:16:32,200 Speaker 1: not gonna get better. And by the way, maybe you 324 00:16:32,320 --> 00:16:35,440 Speaker 1: end up having success in life and you want to 325 00:16:35,520 --> 00:16:38,680 Speaker 1: give your wife a bigger ring somewhere down as a 326 00:16:38,720 --> 00:16:41,120 Speaker 1: testament to the success you've had together. I think that's 327 00:16:41,120 --> 00:16:41,960 Speaker 1: a cool idea. 328 00:16:42,480 --> 00:16:44,760 Speaker 3: But I have a deal with Carrie, because you know, 329 00:16:44,840 --> 00:16:47,240 Speaker 3: she quit her job to take care of Speed and 330 00:16:47,280 --> 00:16:50,200 Speaker 3: to you know, run the household. I can get her 331 00:16:50,240 --> 00:16:53,240 Speaker 3: gifts and things for Christmas, like, you know, things like 332 00:16:53,280 --> 00:16:56,600 Speaker 3: we're a little jewelry and stuff like that. But she's like, well, 333 00:16:56,640 --> 00:16:57,960 Speaker 3: if I get you a gift, isn't it just with 334 00:16:58,040 --> 00:17:00,520 Speaker 3: your money? And I'm like, yes, that's why, don't do it? 335 00:17:00,760 --> 00:17:02,120 Speaker 3: Just keep being a great wife. 336 00:17:02,160 --> 00:17:02,760 Speaker 1: And I mean it. 337 00:17:03,520 --> 00:17:06,440 Speaker 3: You don't get me a Rolex. I don't need a Rolex. 338 00:17:06,480 --> 00:17:08,680 Speaker 3: I don't even want to wear a fancy watch. I'm fine. 339 00:17:09,480 --> 00:17:11,760 Speaker 1: I only shop at Costco, so I don't even know 340 00:17:11,800 --> 00:17:12,400 Speaker 1: what i'd want. 341 00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:16,280 Speaker 2: You're enjoying the Best Of program with Clay Travis and 342 00:17:16,400 --> 00:17:17,120 Speaker 2: Buck Sexton. 343 00:17:17,240 --> 00:17:20,520 Speaker 1: We are joined now by Bill O'Reilly. You can find 344 00:17:20,600 --> 00:17:25,760 Speaker 1: him certainly all over the internet now at Bill O'Reilly 345 00:17:25,880 --> 00:17:28,520 Speaker 1: dot com. He's got regular articles there. He is a 346 00:17:28,600 --> 00:17:33,400 Speaker 1: best selling author who has got one bestseller after another. 347 00:17:33,920 --> 00:17:38,200 Speaker 1: And we were just actually talking about Whoopy. Goldberg said 348 00:17:38,960 --> 00:17:43,200 Speaker 1: Bill that Trump will just have no legacy whatsoever and 349 00:17:43,240 --> 00:17:46,600 Speaker 1: he will vanish on the Idiot Show, the view that 350 00:17:46,680 --> 00:17:50,720 Speaker 1: she enjoys appearing on and Bucket I both feel like 351 00:17:50,840 --> 00:17:55,159 Speaker 1: Trump is definitely the most consequential figure of the twenty 352 00:17:55,200 --> 00:17:58,480 Speaker 1: first century. And Bill, I said, I would put Trump 353 00:17:58,600 --> 00:18:03,280 Speaker 1: right now behind and only Reagan in my life as 354 00:18:03,320 --> 00:18:06,119 Speaker 1: the best presidents. Now, you're a little bit older than me, 355 00:18:06,320 --> 00:18:08,760 Speaker 1: but I was born in the last year of Jimmy 356 00:18:08,760 --> 00:18:12,560 Speaker 1: Carter's presidency. You're a history guy, though, Where would you 357 00:18:12,640 --> 00:18:15,520 Speaker 1: put Trump, And how do you assess Biden? Since we 358 00:18:15,560 --> 00:18:19,040 Speaker 1: know Biden's ten years over, how do you think history 359 00:18:19,119 --> 00:18:21,080 Speaker 1: views this era of those guys? 360 00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:24,040 Speaker 5: Well, first of all, we have to take Whoopy Goldberg 361 00:18:24,119 --> 00:18:27,320 Speaker 5: seriously because she was in a movie called Ghost where 362 00:18:27,359 --> 00:18:30,640 Speaker 5: she could see everything that happened, So I'm sure that's 363 00:18:30,640 --> 00:18:34,600 Speaker 5: carried over to her real life. And we know she 364 00:18:34,680 --> 00:18:39,080 Speaker 5: is a PhD in history and political science, a combination 365 00:18:39,240 --> 00:18:43,120 Speaker 5: which is extraordinary, So we can't just dismiss miss Goldberg 366 00:18:43,160 --> 00:18:48,080 Speaker 5: out of hand. I'm being, of course deceatious. I read 367 00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:52,080 Speaker 5: a book called Confronting the President's which is right behind 368 00:18:52,119 --> 00:18:55,320 Speaker 5: Confronting Evil, which is out now. We twined them up. 369 00:18:55,359 --> 00:18:57,280 Speaker 5: By the way, we get both books on Bill O'Reilly 370 00:18:57,320 --> 00:19:00,560 Speaker 5: dot com for very fine price. Now, every time I 371 00:19:00,600 --> 00:19:05,280 Speaker 5: see President Trump, and the last time was five days 372 00:19:05,280 --> 00:19:07,840 Speaker 5: ago in the White House, so he's spent forty minutes 373 00:19:07,880 --> 00:19:10,919 Speaker 5: with him, he's asking me the same question that you 374 00:19:11,119 --> 00:19:15,680 Speaker 5: just asked me. So that's my legacy? Am I number one? Yet? 375 00:19:16,680 --> 00:19:21,959 Speaker 5: And you know I can't be blood He's never going 376 00:19:22,040 --> 00:19:24,800 Speaker 5: to be number one. Abraham Lincoln will always be the 377 00:19:24,840 --> 00:19:27,280 Speaker 5: best president the United States? 378 00:19:27,320 --> 00:19:29,720 Speaker 1: So hold up the president you're at the Oval office. 379 00:19:29,720 --> 00:19:32,159 Speaker 1: This is a great scene. You're in the Oval office 380 00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:36,320 Speaker 1: with the president, and the president, who trusts your historical acumen, 381 00:19:36,880 --> 00:19:39,359 Speaker 1: is saying, hey, Bill, how do you rank that? This 382 00:19:39,440 --> 00:19:42,360 Speaker 1: is very very funny. So he's asking you directly, Hey 383 00:19:42,359 --> 00:19:44,400 Speaker 1: where do I rank right now? And you told him, 384 00:19:44,960 --> 00:19:47,040 Speaker 1: I mean, I love this. You told him what exactly? 385 00:19:48,119 --> 00:19:50,680 Speaker 5: I told him that you know he's going I should 386 00:19:50,680 --> 00:19:53,200 Speaker 5: be number one. That's the same many megs. I said, 387 00:19:53,200 --> 00:19:55,200 Speaker 5: you'll never be number one, you know me. I mean, 388 00:19:55,240 --> 00:19:58,439 Speaker 5: I don't pander to anybody. I said, You're never going 389 00:19:58,480 --> 00:20:02,119 Speaker 5: to be number one because Lincoln was so extraordinary and 390 00:20:02,160 --> 00:20:05,840 Speaker 5: held the Union together when few other presidents would have 391 00:20:05,880 --> 00:20:08,879 Speaker 5: been able to do that. But you're in the top 392 00:20:09,040 --> 00:20:13,399 Speaker 5: ten right now, and you're the hardest working president of 393 00:20:13,440 --> 00:20:19,639 Speaker 5: all time. No president has ever approached the work ethic 394 00:20:19,720 --> 00:20:22,280 Speaker 5: of Donald Trump. And it's not even closed. There's not 395 00:20:22,359 --> 00:20:26,119 Speaker 5: even a close second to that. And I said, but 396 00:20:26,680 --> 00:20:33,080 Speaker 5: a lot of your policies are yet to be known 397 00:20:33,240 --> 00:20:36,359 Speaker 5: as far as their effectiveness is concerned. You got the 398 00:20:36,359 --> 00:20:41,480 Speaker 5: border in your pocket, okay, And you also have accomplishments 399 00:20:41,480 --> 00:20:45,840 Speaker 5: because you followed the second worst president in our history, 400 00:20:45,920 --> 00:20:50,080 Speaker 5: Joe Biden only James Buchanan who led up to Lincoln 401 00:20:50,240 --> 00:20:55,080 Speaker 5: and who was an abject coward and allowed the South 402 00:20:55,160 --> 00:20:59,359 Speaker 5: to arm itself for four years in preparation of the 403 00:20:59,359 --> 00:21:03,040 Speaker 5: War of Rebellion and began and did nothing. Knew it. 404 00:21:03,840 --> 00:21:06,520 Speaker 5: I was too afraid to do anything about it. Worst 405 00:21:06,800 --> 00:21:12,120 Speaker 5: president ever, Biden's number two. Why because in four years 406 00:21:13,400 --> 00:21:17,600 Speaker 5: Joe Biden did not solve one problem in this country, 407 00:21:18,200 --> 00:21:22,120 Speaker 5: not one. And all my liberal friends who voted for him, 408 00:21:22,160 --> 00:21:25,600 Speaker 5: and Kamala Harris, when I say to them very politely, 409 00:21:26,040 --> 00:21:30,520 Speaker 5: because I don't get angry about political differences, that's foolish. 410 00:21:31,359 --> 00:21:33,120 Speaker 5: When I say, all right, give me one thing that. 411 00:21:33,080 --> 00:21:36,000 Speaker 3: He did, Joe, I'm sorry, Bill, I got to jump 412 00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:39,320 Speaker 3: in real quick. You're leading out that President Biden solved 413 00:21:39,400 --> 00:21:43,880 Speaker 3: Hunter's legal issues, which, to be fair, he swooped. 414 00:21:43,560 --> 00:21:44,080 Speaker 1: In on that phone. 415 00:21:44,080 --> 00:21:48,720 Speaker 5: Okay, well, I'll debate you on that anytime you want. 416 00:21:48,840 --> 00:21:55,720 Speaker 5: But they, the people voted for him, cannot come up 417 00:21:55,760 --> 00:21:56,160 Speaker 5: with one. 418 00:21:56,840 --> 00:21:58,680 Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, they certainly don't care that Hunter got a 419 00:21:58,720 --> 00:22:00,560 Speaker 1: parton or if they do, I think they don't like it. 420 00:22:00,760 --> 00:22:01,320 Speaker 1: But you're right. 421 00:22:02,760 --> 00:22:07,359 Speaker 5: If it were Donald Trump, junior President trum would have 422 00:22:07,400 --> 00:22:11,320 Speaker 5: done the same thing. So I'm an honest guy. Yeah, 423 00:22:11,520 --> 00:22:12,320 Speaker 5: all right, So. 424 00:22:14,480 --> 00:22:16,359 Speaker 3: I was kidding Hi about the pardon thing. I'm not 425 00:22:16,400 --> 00:22:18,359 Speaker 3: trying to divert you from what you're saying. He clearly 426 00:22:18,440 --> 00:22:20,920 Speaker 3: is a terrible president who didn't manage to solve much 427 00:22:20,960 --> 00:22:23,480 Speaker 3: of anything. But I also wanted to ask you, Bill 428 00:22:23,480 --> 00:22:26,359 Speaker 3: if I could the president, the current president, who you 429 00:22:26,359 --> 00:22:29,119 Speaker 3: say is excellent, not number one. He probably was a 430 00:22:29,160 --> 00:22:32,000 Speaker 3: little miffed at that, but that's okay. He's an excellent president. 431 00:22:32,280 --> 00:22:35,639 Speaker 3: He's going on a affordability tour of sorts, going to 432 00:22:35,680 --> 00:22:38,919 Speaker 3: eastern Pennsylvania, because I think there's a recognition even in 433 00:22:38,960 --> 00:22:42,440 Speaker 3: this White House that despite the excellent policies, there's frustration 434 00:22:42,840 --> 00:22:46,000 Speaker 3: with the economy on affordability. Do you think Trump's making 435 00:22:46,040 --> 00:22:47,919 Speaker 3: the right move here by going Do you think that 436 00:22:47,960 --> 00:22:50,320 Speaker 3: this is something that the White House can successfully address 437 00:22:50,359 --> 00:22:52,720 Speaker 3: so we don't lose the control of a House in 438 00:22:52,760 --> 00:22:53,399 Speaker 3: the midterms. 439 00:22:54,560 --> 00:22:59,720 Speaker 5: Well, on the night before Thanksgiving, I was at the 440 00:22:59,760 --> 00:23:02,120 Speaker 5: eye inder a hockey game and the puckers about to drop, 441 00:23:02,160 --> 00:23:06,760 Speaker 5: and I got a phone call from President Trump right 442 00:23:06,880 --> 00:23:09,320 Speaker 5: at the game. Now, when a president calls, so you 443 00:23:09,400 --> 00:23:11,480 Speaker 5: got to take the call. He can't go to voicemail. 444 00:23:11,640 --> 00:23:14,920 Speaker 5: All right, So I got a private office. The owner 445 00:23:14,920 --> 00:23:18,040 Speaker 5: of the team is a friend of mine, and President 446 00:23:18,119 --> 00:23:20,959 Speaker 5: Trump can proceed to yell at me for ten minutes, 447 00:23:21,600 --> 00:23:25,200 Speaker 5: all right, which is not unusual. All right, And when 448 00:23:25,200 --> 00:23:29,720 Speaker 5: he gets going, you can't interrupt. He's all right. Essence 449 00:23:29,800 --> 00:23:35,639 Speaker 5: of the disenchantment with O'Reilly was that I was reporting 450 00:23:36,200 --> 00:23:42,480 Speaker 5: that the affordability situation could very much hurt him, because 451 00:23:42,520 --> 00:23:45,359 Speaker 5: it all he has to do is go back to 452 00:23:45,400 --> 00:23:49,280 Speaker 5: twenty eighteen mid terms. He got whacked. Trump got whacked, 453 00:23:50,080 --> 00:23:53,840 Speaker 5: and Obama got whacked, and in terms of very difficult 454 00:23:54,080 --> 00:24:02,680 Speaker 5: to hold power, and the press is pounding every second affordability, affordability, affordability. 455 00:24:03,440 --> 00:24:07,840 Speaker 5: Now the stats are not bad for Trump, they're not. 456 00:24:08,960 --> 00:24:10,880 Speaker 5: In fact. On the New Spin News tonight, I'll lay 457 00:24:10,920 --> 00:24:12,639 Speaker 5: them all out for you. But if you have a 458 00:24:12,680 --> 00:24:14,639 Speaker 5: specific stat you want, I'll give it to you. And now, 459 00:24:15,680 --> 00:24:20,080 Speaker 5: the economy is in pretty good shape. Stock market's good 460 00:24:20,480 --> 00:24:25,639 Speaker 5: for one k people, retirement plant people, prospering. You can 461 00:24:25,720 --> 00:24:30,480 Speaker 5: get a job if you want. Wages are up, Bacon 462 00:24:30,640 --> 00:24:33,600 Speaker 5: is up. If you like bacon, you're paying more of 463 00:24:33,600 --> 00:24:37,919 Speaker 5: a bacon, okay, But a whole number of other foods 464 00:24:37,920 --> 00:24:44,160 Speaker 5: are down. So this is a contrived thing. With one exception. 465 00:24:45,680 --> 00:24:51,680 Speaker 5: Insurance costs are killing working Americans, killing them health insurance, 466 00:24:51,720 --> 00:24:57,639 Speaker 5: car insurance, house insurance. That after President Trump got through 467 00:24:58,240 --> 00:25:01,840 Speaker 5: yelling at me, I said, all right, it's my job 468 00:25:01,920 --> 00:25:04,639 Speaker 5: to report what's happening. Mister President. Of course you're not 469 00:25:04,680 --> 00:25:08,760 Speaker 5: going to like some of it, but I'm fair. This 470 00:25:09,359 --> 00:25:12,760 Speaker 5: is what you have to do. You got to get 471 00:25:12,760 --> 00:25:15,399 Speaker 5: out there and you've got to tell people in twenty 472 00:25:15,480 --> 00:25:18,359 Speaker 5: six here's what we're going to do to bring down 473 00:25:18,400 --> 00:25:23,600 Speaker 5: these prices very specifically. So I think he followed my advice, 474 00:25:23,640 --> 00:25:25,639 Speaker 5: but I'm sure he got that advice from other people 475 00:25:25,680 --> 00:25:28,680 Speaker 5: as well. I'm not taking credit for it. And he's 476 00:25:28,680 --> 00:25:30,800 Speaker 5: out in Pennsylvania tonight. 477 00:25:32,040 --> 00:25:32,359 Speaker 2: Bill. 478 00:25:33,119 --> 00:25:34,760 Speaker 1: This is a little bit of a pivot. But the 479 00:25:34,840 --> 00:25:37,640 Speaker 1: last time we had you on, we had a caller 480 00:25:37,800 --> 00:25:42,080 Speaker 1: who wanted us to ask you about Patten's death and 481 00:25:42,880 --> 00:25:45,680 Speaker 1: whether you bought into and I know you wrote about 482 00:25:45,800 --> 00:25:49,240 Speaker 1: the death of Patent in your Killing series. What you 483 00:25:49,400 --> 00:25:51,359 Speaker 1: thought about is death or whether he wrote a book 484 00:25:51,359 --> 00:25:56,400 Speaker 1: He's Killing Patent, yeact, Whether what your take is on 485 00:25:56,560 --> 00:25:58,840 Speaker 1: that death and what occurred. 486 00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:02,239 Speaker 5: Okay, first of all, you get all the books, and 487 00:26:02,280 --> 00:26:05,800 Speaker 5: this is a shameless plug, but you guys are nice. 488 00:26:06,200 --> 00:26:08,320 Speaker 5: You can get all thirteen killing books in the two 489 00:26:08,400 --> 00:26:12,160 Speaker 5: confronting books in one package on bill O'Reilly dot com, 490 00:26:12,240 --> 00:26:17,040 Speaker 5: which will save you hundreds of dollars in Christmas gift 491 00:26:17,160 --> 00:26:23,880 Speaker 5: expenses because people want these books. Okay, so you get fifteen, 492 00:26:24,119 --> 00:26:26,520 Speaker 5: you dole them out. You add up the money that 493 00:26:26,600 --> 00:26:28,600 Speaker 5: you spent on that as opposed to what you would 494 00:26:28,640 --> 00:26:32,640 Speaker 5: spend on fifteen individual gifts. Your way ahead, bill O'Reilly 495 00:26:32,680 --> 00:26:37,360 Speaker 5: dot com. Killing Patten, we walked through the whole career 496 00:26:38,240 --> 00:26:42,560 Speaker 5: of the best American general in World War Two, second 497 00:26:42,640 --> 00:26:47,159 Speaker 5: best in history next to John Pershing. Pershing was the best, Okay, 498 00:26:47,880 --> 00:26:52,200 Speaker 5: Patton was second. At the end of his life, many 499 00:26:52,840 --> 00:26:58,320 Speaker 5: very strange things happened to George Patten. None of them 500 00:26:58,600 --> 00:27:03,080 Speaker 5: added up. He should not have died in that hospital 501 00:27:03,119 --> 00:27:09,760 Speaker 5: in Luxembourg. So a lot of people, including me, suspect 502 00:27:10,280 --> 00:27:13,920 Speaker 5: that he was murdered. Who would want to murder him? 503 00:27:14,400 --> 00:27:19,679 Speaker 5: Russia stalin Soviet Union, and they had access because you 504 00:27:19,720 --> 00:27:23,320 Speaker 5: remember they were our allies in World War Two. Because 505 00:27:23,359 --> 00:27:27,360 Speaker 5: Patten wanted to fight them. He did not want to stop, 506 00:27:28,359 --> 00:27:31,280 Speaker 5: because he knew that the Soviet Union was going to 507 00:27:31,359 --> 00:27:35,680 Speaker 5: be replace Hitler in the Nazis is our main enemy. 508 00:27:36,160 --> 00:27:38,800 Speaker 1: So when you say he was killed, sorry to cut 509 00:27:38,840 --> 00:27:41,879 Speaker 1: you off, do you mean that in the poisoned in 510 00:27:41,960 --> 00:27:45,159 Speaker 1: the wake of the car accident while he was recovering. 511 00:27:45,520 --> 00:27:50,840 Speaker 5: Okay, poisoned in the hospital and the car accident itself 512 00:27:51,200 --> 00:27:55,080 Speaker 5: did not make any sense, and we trace it in 513 00:27:55,200 --> 00:28:01,320 Speaker 5: killing Pat It did not make any sense.

The only resolution 517 00:28:12,240 --> 00:28:17,080 Speaker 5: to this is to exzoom the general's body, which is 518 00:28:17,280 --> 00:28:22,080 Speaker 5: in Europe a test. They did that for Zachary Taylor. 519 00:28:23,200 --> 00:28:27,359 Speaker 5: Zachary Taylor got that treatment, then they won't do it 520 00:28:27,400 --> 00:28:28,000 Speaker 5: for Patton. 521 00:28:28,600 --> 00:28:35,040 Speaker 1: Yeah, and do we have a caller that Clay Travis 522 00:28:35,040 --> 00:28:36,719 Speaker 1: with the Clay and Buck Show.

Bill. 529 00:29:01,920 --> 00:29:04,120 Speaker 1: We had a caller who called in who said, who 530 00:29:04,160 --> 00:29:08,440 Speaker 1: claimed that his father was the driver for the car 531 00:29:08,560 --> 00:29:11,400 Speaker 1: when Patten was in that accident you mentioned. Just wanted 532 00:29:11,440 --> 00:29:13,680 Speaker 1: you to hear this. This is thirty one. You say 533 00:29:13,760 --> 00:29:17,000 Speaker 1: your dad was driving the car when Patten was killed. 534 00:29:17,000 --> 00:29:21,400 Speaker 1: When he died in the car accident, yes he was okay, Well, 535 00:29:21,440 --> 00:29:22,760 Speaker 1: what did your dad tell you about that? 536 00:29:23,520 --> 00:29:27,920 Speaker 6: He actually died nine days later. He was driving a 537 00:29:27,960 --> 00:29:31,080 Speaker 6: thirty eight Cadillac Lemo and Patton was sitting in the 538 00:29:31,120 --> 00:29:33,920 Speaker 6: back on the edge of the seat as usual, and 539 00:29:34,200 --> 00:29:36,600 Speaker 6: they were waiting for a train to pass, and he 540 00:29:37,120 --> 00:29:38,680 Speaker 6: put in a pass. He pulled away, got up to 541 00:29:38,680 --> 00:29:41,080 Speaker 6: about twenty five miles an hour, and there was a 542 00:29:41,120 --> 00:29:43,800 Speaker 6: personnel carrier about a quarter mile down the road that 543 00:29:43,960 --> 00:29:47,240 Speaker 6: pulled out at the same time. And when they got 544 00:29:47,280 --> 00:29:49,560 Speaker 6: to each other, the personnel carrier turned right into the 545 00:29:49,560 --> 00:29:53,360 Speaker 6: Cadillac and Patton flew forward, hit his forehead on the 546 00:29:53,400 --> 00:29:58,080 Speaker 6: partition between the front and back, scalped his you know, 547 00:29:58,200 --> 00:30:00,560 Speaker 6: put to the scalp himself and his neck. 548 00:30:01,720 --> 00:30:05,320 Speaker 1: And so from your perspective, your dad told you there 549 00:30:05,440 --> 00:30:08,200 Speaker 1: is no conspiracy. There is for people out there that 550 00:30:08,400 --> 00:30:11,560 Speaker 1: have bought not believe that this was a traffic accident, 551 00:30:11,680 --> 00:30:14,160 Speaker 1: and it was a freak accident in some way based 552 00:30:14,200 --> 00:30:15,440 Speaker 1: on the speed the patent died. 553 00:30:16,280 --> 00:30:18,840 Speaker 6: Yeah, my dad never talked about any conspiracies about it 554 00:30:18,920 --> 00:30:21,240 Speaker 6: or anything like that. But I mean, there's three drunk 555 00:30:21,240 --> 00:30:24,160 Speaker 6: ti eyes that all disappeared, you know, they were they 556 00:30:24,200 --> 00:30:28,760 Speaker 6: were in the personnel carrier, and you know, Patton's starting 557 00:30:28,800 --> 00:30:31,240 Speaker 6: to do a lot better and then he died just 558 00:30:31,360 --> 00:30:32,160 Speaker 6: all of a sudden. 559 00:30:33,320 --> 00:30:34,920 Speaker 1: Phil take it away. What do you make of it? 560 00:30:37,000 --> 00:30:41,880 Speaker 5: Man? I believe that his father was the driver. The 561 00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:46,480 Speaker 5: three soldiers he fighted that that is unbelievable evidence. I mean, 562 00:30:46,520 --> 00:30:51,920 Speaker 5: when you get a general, a four star dying in 563 00:30:51,960 --> 00:30:57,560 Speaker 5: this kind of circumstances, you interview everybody, and nothing was done. 564 00:30:59,040 --> 00:31:03,080 Speaker 5: Nothing was done. Washington's heered to Patten, that would be 565 00:31:03,120 --> 00:31:06,480 Speaker 5: Harry Truman the Democratic Party, because Patten was going to 566 00:31:06,560 --> 00:31:08,680 Speaker 5: run for president. He's going to come back to the 567 00:31:08,800 --> 00:31:13,120 Speaker 5: United States and run just as Eisenhower did. And Eisenhower, 568 00:31:13,160 --> 00:31:16,320 Speaker 5: of course won, and so there were a lot of 569 00:31:16,360 --> 00:31:19,440 Speaker 5: reasons that Patten had a lot of enemies, but the 570 00:31:19,480 --> 00:31:25,360 Speaker 5: big enemy was Stalin, and Stalin had access. So I'm 571 00:31:25,400 --> 00:31:30,959 Speaker 5: not saying that Patten was murdered because I cannot prove it. 572 00:31:31,560 --> 00:31:33,920 Speaker 5: What I am saying is that you could find out 573 00:31:34,880 --> 00:31:39,600 Speaker 5: if this general was poisoned or not, and nobody is 574 00:31:41,680 --> 00:31:42,800 Speaker 5: apparently wants to do that. 575 00:31:43,280 --> 00:31:45,560 Speaker 3: So that's the point about he had a turn for 576 00:31:45,600 --> 00:31:48,600 Speaker 3: the worse in the hospital. I mean, that was It's 577 00:31:48,640 --> 00:31:50,920 Speaker 3: interesting that he was. It seemed he was getting better 578 00:31:50,960 --> 00:31:52,520 Speaker 3: than all of a sudden, And so you're saying that 579 00:31:52,560 --> 00:31:54,880 Speaker 3: all of a sudden, to you is very suspicious. You'd 580 00:31:54,960 --> 00:31:56,440 Speaker 3: like to get to the bottom of it, or people 581 00:31:56,440 --> 00:31:58,880 Speaker 3: to get to the bottom of it with the testing 582 00:31:58,920 --> 00:32:01,320 Speaker 3: of Patten's remain Yeah. 583 00:32:01,120 --> 00:32:05,880 Speaker 5: If you read killing Patten, anybody very interested in this subject, 584 00:32:05,880 --> 00:32:10,240 Speaker 5: should we really walk through it in a non hysterical way, 585 00:32:11,880 --> 00:32:15,560 Speaker 5: so we have all the eyewitness reports in there, and 586 00:32:15,680 --> 00:32:18,920 Speaker 5: you know, in my style, my style is I'm not 587 00:32:19,080 --> 00:32:23,080 Speaker 5: boring you. I am moving this story along. But I'm 588 00:32:23,120 --> 00:32:28,480 Speaker 5: not a guy who ordinarily buys into this stuff. But here, 589 00:32:29,720 --> 00:32:35,760 Speaker 5: you had motive, you had accessibility, you had enemies both 590 00:32:35,760 --> 00:32:40,000 Speaker 5: abroad and at home, and George is a tough guy. 591 00:32:40,040 --> 00:32:44,720 Speaker 5: He was a big, strong guy, and it just doesn't stack. 592 00:32:46,160 --> 00:32:49,160 Speaker 1: Bill, thank you for hanging out with us here.

President Trump asked me to give him 602 00:33:12,640 --> 00:33:19,400 Speaker 5: Confronting Evil, specifically for the chapter on Putin, because we 603 00:33:19,480 --> 00:33:23,800 Speaker 5: trace what has happened to Putin. He's not the same 604 00:33:23,920 --> 00:33:27,000 Speaker 5: guy that Trump was dealing with in the first term. 605 00:33:27,360 --> 00:33:31,000 Speaker 5: And the President wrote me a really nice note after 606 00:33:31,040 --> 00:33:35,600 Speaker 5: he read to Confronting Evil.
