We started off 31 00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:49,960 Speaker 1: the show telling you that the FBI was searching Joe 32 00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:54,200 Speaker 1: Biden's beach home and Rehobeth Beach, Delaware. Reports are that 33 00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:56,800 Speaker 1: they did not find any classified documents there, but of 34 00:01:56,840 --> 00:02:01,800 Speaker 1: course that search came three months nearly three full months 35 00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:05,640 Speaker 1: after they made the initial discovery of classified documents in 36 00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:09,959 Speaker 1: the Penn Biden office. We've been talking about the DeSantis 37 00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:15,440 Speaker 1: versus Trump battle that continues to grow. A lot of 38 00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:19,000 Speaker 1: you have been weighing in on that, and Buck, I 39 00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:21,880 Speaker 1: don't know how much tension you've paid to this, but 40 00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:28,840 Speaker 1: there's increasing a nervousness surrounding how incompetent Kamala Harris is. 41 00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:33,200 Speaker 1: The Washington Post had a massive feature piece in the 42 00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:37,280 Speaker 1: last day or so, and it featured, as these pieces 43 00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:40,560 Speaker 1: tend to do, a lot of anonymous sources, but these 44 00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:45,679 Speaker 1: were not Republicans attacking Kamala Harris. This was Democrats effectively 45 00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:48,960 Speaker 1: saying she's incompetent. There was a University of New Hampshire 46 00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:53,600 Speaker 1: poll that came out recently twenty twenty four presidential poll. 47 00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:57,399 Speaker 1: Mayor Pete, believe it or not, was polling better than 48 00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:01,920 Speaker 1: Joe Biden twenty three percent Mayor Pete eighteen percent for 49 00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:07,400 Speaker 1: Joe Biden, but Kamala Harris was at two percent. And 50 00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:11,919 Speaker 1: I mean, this is an indictment overall of her political skills. 51 00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:15,280 Speaker 1: And I wanted to play this audio for you of 52 00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:19,600 Speaker 1: Kamala Harris. It feels to me buck like all of 53 00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:24,000 Speaker 1: her speechwriters hate her because they put things into a 54 00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:27,919 Speaker 1: teleprompter that not only are juvenile and sound a bit 55 00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:32,040 Speaker 1: like a kindergarten teacher is talking to her classroom, but 56 00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:36,960 Speaker 1: also just sound even worse the way that she delivers it. 57 00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:39,880 Speaker 1: And so we've had so many of these awkward clips, 58 00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:43,520 Speaker 1: but this just happened. I think, Yes, Kamala Harris was 59 00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:47,640 Speaker 1: talking about astronauts and going to space. Because these are 60 00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:50,400 Speaker 1: the kind of things. They have events for her to discuss. 61 00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:54,040 Speaker 1: This is what it sounded like, enjoy, which brings me 62 00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:59,720 Speaker 1: to May thirtieth, twenty. Bob and Doug returned to the 63 00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:05,960 Speaker 1: Nity Space Center. They suited up, they waved to their families, 64 00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:11,839 Speaker 1: and they rode an elevator up nearly twenty stories. They 65 00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:16,279 Speaker 1: strapped in to their seats and waited as the tanks 66 00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:20,719 Speaker 1: beneath them filled with tens of thousands of gallons of fuel, 67 00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:29,760 Speaker 1: and then they launched. Yeah they did. I mean, buck, 68 00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:32,000 Speaker 1: if this was your kindergarten teacher and she was like 69 00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:34,520 Speaker 1: whipping through a story book, you might be like, Okay, 70 00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:37,040 Speaker 1: I like her enthusiasm. I appreciate the way she's talking 71 00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:39,520 Speaker 1: to the kids. This is the woman who's a heartbeat 72 00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:42,400 Speaker 1: away from being the leader of the free world. It's terrifying. 73 00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:45,360 Speaker 1: And again, I think you just have to look at 74 00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:51,360 Speaker 1: the Democrat Party realities as it stands internally. For them, 75 00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:54,240 Speaker 1: there is no way if it's not Biden, it has 76 00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:59,119 Speaker 1: to be common. There's no way they allow for an 77 00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:03,080 Speaker 1: open primary challenge. And Kamala Harris gets pushed, gets pushed 78 00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:07,120 Speaker 1: aside for Gavin Newsom. I'm sorry the optics on that, 79 00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:10,400 Speaker 1: no way. And so this is why it all comes 80 00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:13,680 Speaker 1: full circle too. It's got to be Biden again. And look, 81 00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:16,800 Speaker 1: they didn't find any classified. We just gave you that 82 00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:19,080 Speaker 1: breaking news. I mean, it's not the most exciting breaking 83 00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:20,920 Speaker 1: news in the world, but it is breaking in the 84 00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:24,599 Speaker 1: last hour. They didn't find more classified, you know, strewn 85 00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:28,120 Speaker 1: about next to the corvette or whatever else. But I 86 00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:32,080 Speaker 1: do think that Kamala Harris has proven to be an 87 00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:38,680 Speaker 1: even weaker and less likable politician in the role than 88 00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:43,360 Speaker 1: the Democrats anticipated. And remember Democrats didn't vote for right, 89 00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:46,080 Speaker 1: so they there were the expectations were pretty low, I 90 00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:49,000 Speaker 1: think for how she would do an office, but they 91 00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:53,680 Speaker 1: you know, she has She has the lowest profile in 92 00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:56,560 Speaker 1: terms of the vice president's job of I mean you 93 00:05:56,640 --> 00:06:01,680 Speaker 1: have to go back many administrations. Yeah, And it's not 94 00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:05,640 Speaker 1: only the low profile. It's that even with the low profile, 95 00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:09,800 Speaker 1: she manages to appear incompetent every time she speaks. And 96 00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:13,920 Speaker 1: one of the stories that is prevalent about Kamala Harris 97 00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:17,040 Speaker 1: is she basically just doesn't do her homework. She's not 98 00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:21,320 Speaker 1: someone who is a grinder she's not trying to master details. 99 00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:25,200 Speaker 1: And I think that's because, let's be honest, she has 100 00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:28,480 Speaker 1: used the fact that she is a minority and a 101 00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:34,120 Speaker 1: woman to play this identity politics hand adroitly. The problem 102 00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:36,839 Speaker 1: that she has, and I think I think it's really 103 00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:40,719 Speaker 1: the essence of her. She is a what is she 104 00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:44,520 Speaker 1: almost sixty now, right, almost a sixty year old woman, 105 00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:47,719 Speaker 1: She has no children of her own, She's married to 106 00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:51,920 Speaker 1: a Jewish lawyer from la who was in a big, 107 00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:56,599 Speaker 1: high end law firm, and she doesn't really connect with 108 00:06:56,640 --> 00:06:59,800 Speaker 1: that many people out there. And I think you could 109 00:06:59,880 --> 00:07:03,360 Speaker 1: use was an interesting contrast with Trump, for instance, because 110 00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:06,640 Speaker 1: you know, Buck when we interviewed Trump at Bedminster, and 111 00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:08,760 Speaker 1: I talked about this on air, but I do think 112 00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:11,320 Speaker 1: it's it's it's really significant. And this was behind the 113 00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:15,200 Speaker 1: scenes while we were talking to him. Donald Trump Junior, 114 00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:18,800 Speaker 1: really good guy, funny, active on social came in with 115 00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:21,120 Speaker 1: his family to stay hi because they were having to 116 00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:24,480 Speaker 1: live golf event during one of the commercial breaks, and 117 00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:30,320 Speaker 1: Junior had his kids, that is Trump's grandchildren, and it 118 00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:35,320 Speaker 1: was just so interesting to see Trump interacting as grandpa. Right, 119 00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:37,480 Speaker 1: one of his granddaughters was there and they was talking 120 00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:39,360 Speaker 1: about whether she wanted to go out and play golf 121 00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:44,080 Speaker 1: with him, and in that moment, you strip away much 122 00:07:44,280 --> 00:07:48,920 Speaker 1: of the larger character of Donald Trump and he's just 123 00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:55,160 Speaker 1: grandpa to that Hunter Biden. They're all pretty pretty good kids, right, 124 00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:58,360 Speaker 1: Like all of his kids have done well for themselves 125 00:07:58,440 --> 00:08:01,920 Speaker 1: in terms of growing into a hood, having their own kids, 126 00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:05,160 Speaker 1: having their own life, staying out. They're all pretty they're 127 00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:07,760 Speaker 1: all pretty exceptional. I mean, honestly, let's be let's just 128 00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:09,560 Speaker 1: look at this. I mean, even apart from their last name, 129 00:08:09,640 --> 00:08:14,200 Speaker 1: they're they're you know, successful adults with with skills and 130 00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:18,320 Speaker 1: brands of their own. And that's a credit to dad 131 00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:21,960 Speaker 1: and mom and the culture that they helped to create 132 00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:24,240 Speaker 1: in those kids. And what I mean by that is, 133 00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:28,360 Speaker 1: if you think about Kamala Harris, for instance, running against Trump, 134 00:08:28,760 --> 00:08:32,880 Speaker 1: I think Trump would utterly destroy her because she doesn't 135 00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:35,880 Speaker 1: do her homework. She doesn't really you know, this idea 136 00:08:35,920 --> 00:08:39,079 Speaker 1: of the American dream. I don't think she really fulfills it. 137 00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:41,960 Speaker 1: You know. Obama, I think a big part of Obama's 138 00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:45,560 Speaker 1: appeal was he had a kids, young kids in the 139 00:08:45,559 --> 00:08:47,360 Speaker 1: White House with him. I think if de Santis were 140 00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:49,720 Speaker 1: the nominee, I think having those young kids would matter 141 00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:53,080 Speaker 1: in a big way. Kamala is just not one of 142 00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:58,439 Speaker 1: the one of the unassailable. You know, Obama. Obama presented 143 00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:03,840 Speaker 1: a very solid family unit and family image and it 144 00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:06,240 Speaker 1: was it was it was very appealing. It is very ape. 145 00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:08,560 Speaker 1: You know, it seemed to have done well, right, I 146 00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:11,240 Speaker 1: mean a credit to him, like they've graduated. It is 147 00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:13,400 Speaker 1: what it is. We live, we live in realityville. And 148 00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:16,720 Speaker 1: the Obama family unit was you know, all the four 149 00:09:16,760 --> 00:09:20,120 Speaker 1: of them together was an asset to him politically and 150 00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:23,079 Speaker 1: a credit to him as a as a man um 151 00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:26,200 Speaker 1: You know, it's the narrative matters, as you know, I mean, 152 00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:28,840 Speaker 1: the narrative around the individual is a big part of this, 153 00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:33,560 Speaker 1: and the Kamala as president narrative. You know, Look, there 154 00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:35,920 Speaker 1: are some aspects of it the Democrats will play up 155 00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:39,000 Speaker 1: and they'll really like but as it pertains to voters, right, 156 00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:42,600 Speaker 1: the Democrat machine will say, oh, it's amazing, glass ceiling 157 00:09:42,679 --> 00:09:46,079 Speaker 1: shattering and all this stuff, right, yeah, but getting the voters, 158 00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:48,760 Speaker 1: we we ran the experiment. You saw the voters the 159 00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:52,559 Speaker 1: last time around. They were not I'm talking Democrat primer, yeah, 160 00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:55,880 Speaker 1: not enthusiastic about Kamala. Harris well, and I think a 161 00:09:55,880 --> 00:09:59,080 Speaker 1: big part of that going back is people like to 162 00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:03,760 Speaker 1: see themselves reflected in the candidate in some way, dad 163 00:10:03,880 --> 00:10:06,120 Speaker 1: or mom, however they fit, however they fit in the 164 00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:08,959 Speaker 1: family dynamic. This is, honestly it, though it drives you crazy. 165 00:10:09,280 --> 00:10:12,240 Speaker 1: I think a big appeal of the Royal family because 166 00:10:12,280 --> 00:10:16,200 Speaker 1: people project their own family dynamics onto the Royal family 167 00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:18,560 Speaker 1: and they say, oh, this guy in our family's like 168 00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:22,040 Speaker 1: Prince Harry and this. But if you look at Kamala Harris, 169 00:10:22,040 --> 00:10:25,920 Speaker 1: she's Indian and black, and she's married to a white 170 00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:30,440 Speaker 1: guy and she has no children. Okay, how much of 171 00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:34,640 Speaker 1: the black experience does Kamala Harris connect with? If you 172 00:10:34,679 --> 00:10:38,480 Speaker 1: are in Georgia, or you're in South Carolina, or you 173 00:10:38,520 --> 00:10:44,040 Speaker 1: are growing up black in America today, you probably aren't, 174 00:10:44,280 --> 00:10:46,960 Speaker 1: you know, half Indian. Your parents probably, I think our 175 00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:50,400 Speaker 1: parents were what PhD students? You probably have kids yourself. 176 00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:54,319 Speaker 1: You probably aren't married to a white lawyer in LA 177 00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:57,240 Speaker 1: who's making a million dollars a year. In other words, 178 00:10:57,360 --> 00:11:02,840 Speaker 1: I think Kamala Harris rings very artificial to almost everyone 179 00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:07,240 Speaker 1: across the political spectrum. Black, white, Asian, Hispanic. That registers. 180 00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:10,640 Speaker 1: And it's why I think to a big degree, Democrats 181 00:11:10,679 --> 00:11:13,920 Speaker 1: are so desperate to drag Joe Biden out again because 182 00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:16,480 Speaker 1: she's awful. She can't win, and they know it, and 183 00:11:16,520 --> 00:11:21,400 Speaker 1: they're trying to forestall that inevitable loss. Biden is the 184 00:11:21,559 --> 00:11:24,880 Speaker 1: least bad option for them, and all they care about 185 00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:26,880 Speaker 1: is winning and staying in power, because it's really the 186 00:11:26,920 --> 00:11:30,800 Speaker 1: machinery that governs, not Joe Biden the individual. So they 187 00:11:30,840 --> 00:11:34,800 Speaker 1: just need their team calling the shots. Team Democrat. Right. 188 00:11:34,840 --> 00:11:37,760 Speaker 1: So with that as the mentality, I think it's quite 189 00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:42,160 Speaker 1: clear that Kamala Harris is not going to be stepping now. 190 00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:47,480 Speaker 1: Would Kamala Harris step in during Biden term two? Yeah? 191 00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:51,200 Speaker 1: I think that I actually can see very readily because 192 00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:54,000 Speaker 1: you know, first of all, his age, I mean, legitimately, 193 00:11:54,080 --> 00:11:56,000 Speaker 1: Joe Biden is getting to an age now where it 194 00:11:56,040 --> 00:11:58,199 Speaker 1: wouldn't be some scheme or plot. He may just be 195 00:11:58,320 --> 00:11:59,800 Speaker 1: unable to do the day. I think he can be 196 00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:02,080 Speaker 1: early and a million in front of us. And two 197 00:12:02,160 --> 00:12:05,199 Speaker 1: years when you're eighty is a lot different than two 198 00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:08,640 Speaker 1: years when you're fifty or sixty or seventy, right, I 199 00:12:08,640 --> 00:12:13,000 Speaker 1: mean that's a massive jump. Yeah, now it is. It is. Indeed, 200 00:12:13,760 --> 00:12:15,640 Speaker 1: you know there are thousands of people who are working 201 00:12:15,640 --> 00:12:18,439 Speaker 1: to save the lives of unborn children. Every day they 202 00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:22,480 Speaker 1: work in volunteer at the preborn pregnancy clinics nationwide. These 203 00:12:22,520 --> 00:12:25,600 Speaker 1: locations are in cities where abortions occur most often, and 204 00:12:25,640 --> 00:12:29,000 Speaker 1: they're purposely there to offer women an alternative, that is 205 00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:31,600 Speaker 1: the gift of meeting their unborn child. Through righteous decision 206 00:12:31,720 --> 00:12:34,719 Speaker 1: is made to give life to that baby. These same 207 00:12:34,760 --> 00:12:38,480 Speaker 1: team members provide compassion, counseling, clothing, even diapers for the 208 00:12:38,559 --> 00:12:41,680 Speaker 1: first two years of that baby's life. Through all this, 209 00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:45,320 Speaker 1: Preborn has rescued over two hundred thousand babies, and every 210 00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:48,960 Speaker 1: day their clinics saved one hundred and fifty babies lives. 211 00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:52,400 Speaker 1: This is where you come in. Preborn operates on donations 212 00:12:52,400 --> 00:12:55,920 Speaker 1: from you the pro life community. One ultrasound costs just 213 00:12:56,040 --> 00:12:59,360 Speaker 1: twenty eight dollars five ultrasounds. You could help with five 214 00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:02,760 Speaker 1: ultrasounds for one hundred and forty dollars and any amount 215 00:13:02,800 --> 00:13:06,000 Speaker 1: will help, and these gifts are tax deductible. One hundred 216 00:13:06,040 --> 00:13:10,080 Speaker 1: percent of your donation will go towards savings saving babies lives. 217 00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:13,400 Speaker 1: To donate securely, dial pound two fifty from your cell 218 00:13:13,400 --> 00:13:17,000 Speaker 1: phone and say the keyword baby that's pound two fifty baby, 219 00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:20,280 Speaker 1: or visit the website. Go to preborn dot com, slash 220 00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:26,880 Speaker 1: buck that's preborn dot com slash bu c K Clay, 221 00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:32,200 Speaker 1: Travis and Buck Sexton chuck up a win for Team Reality. 222 00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:35,640 Speaker 1: Welcome back in and play Travis buck Sexton Show. We 223 00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:39,920 Speaker 1: are rolling through the third hour of the program. Appreciate 224 00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:43,600 Speaker 1: all of you hanging out with us. Let's take a 225 00:13:43,640 --> 00:13:46,480 Speaker 1: couple of calls. We were just making fun a little bit, 226 00:13:46,520 --> 00:13:50,199 Speaker 1: but also continuing to ridicule Kamala Harris's inability to connect 227 00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:55,240 Speaker 1: with anyone, even as she was talking about astronauts and 228 00:13:55,559 --> 00:14:00,959 Speaker 1: Mike in Connecticut. Your theory is that she knows exactly 229 00:14:00,960 --> 00:14:04,280 Speaker 1: who she's talking to, absolutely, because look at this day 230 00:14:04,280 --> 00:14:07,679 Speaker 1: and age with a Democrat party. I mean it's it's 231 00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:10,320 Speaker 1: like talking to third and fourth graders. You can't use 232 00:14:10,400 --> 00:14:13,080 Speaker 1: red pen on their task. They need a safe space 233 00:14:13,120 --> 00:14:15,480 Speaker 1: in the corner. If they get upset, I mean, you 234 00:14:15,559 --> 00:14:19,160 Speaker 1: got to give him a cupcaker. They're not happy, no SATs. 235 00:14:19,800 --> 00:14:23,080 Speaker 1: So this is the group she's talking to. I'm sure 236 00:14:23,120 --> 00:14:25,720 Speaker 1: the teachers talk just like that to the kids in 237 00:14:25,800 --> 00:14:29,280 Speaker 1: school otherwise still get upset. I mean they talked to 238 00:14:29,320 --> 00:14:32,640 Speaker 1: him a ginder gardeners that it's an interesting theory. Thanks 239 00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:35,960 Speaker 1: Mike for calling in. Larry, you got a theory in 240 00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:41,600 Speaker 1: Ohio we were talking about about Biden in his clear impairment. 241 00:14:41,680 --> 00:14:43,920 Speaker 1: In many ways, even if you just compare Biden to 242 00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:47,840 Speaker 1: a decade ago, he's not the same person. What's your theory? 243 00:14:48,440 --> 00:14:54,120 Speaker 1: Very correct sir. It's obvious there is mental incompetency. It's 244 00:14:54,280 --> 00:14:58,840 Speaker 1: easy or he needs to step down. All his problems 245 00:14:59,280 --> 00:15:02,080 Speaker 1: will go away as far as you know politics and 246 00:15:02,720 --> 00:15:07,400 Speaker 1: breaking the wall. And then the hair apparent will be 247 00:15:07,680 --> 00:15:11,960 Speaker 1: the vice president very likely will lose if they run 248 00:15:12,040 --> 00:15:15,800 Speaker 1: her as the incumbent, and then they can play the 249 00:15:15,880 --> 00:15:19,479 Speaker 1: victim card and it doesn't matter if the vice president's 250 00:15:19,560 --> 00:15:23,800 Speaker 1: not to becoming. It could be say Booker, and then 251 00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:29,520 Speaker 1: that's not you know, bad, worse whatever. But so therefore 252 00:15:29,600 --> 00:15:35,520 Speaker 1: they have that card too. I don't know, Yeah, thanks 253 00:15:35,520 --> 00:15:38,160 Speaker 1: for the call. Look, I think the challenge here that 254 00:15:38,320 --> 00:15:41,680 Speaker 1: Democrats have to acknowledge, and I think implicitly they are 255 00:15:41,760 --> 00:15:45,560 Speaker 1: acknowledging it buck by putting Joe Biden forward as their nominee. 256 00:15:45,600 --> 00:15:48,720 Speaker 1: In theory in twenty twenty four, is that it's very 257 00:15:48,760 --> 00:15:52,240 Speaker 1: hard to explain how the sitting vice president who is 258 00:15:52,280 --> 00:15:56,240 Speaker 1: a black woman is not your nominee in the next 259 00:15:56,280 --> 00:16:00,000 Speaker 1: election cycle where there is no incumbent, in an age 260 00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:03,280 Speaker 1: when all that matters in the Democrat Party is identity politics, 261 00:16:03,840 --> 00:16:06,720 Speaker 1: and if they're going to jump over a black woman, which, 262 00:16:06,760 --> 00:16:10,200 Speaker 1: to be fair, is the most reliable group of Democrat 263 00:16:10,280 --> 00:16:13,960 Speaker 1: voters anywhere in the country, it by its very nature 264 00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:16,760 Speaker 1: would be racist and sexist for them to do so. 265 00:16:17,160 --> 00:16:20,520 Speaker 1: She's so bad they want to give her the opportunity, 266 00:16:20,800 --> 00:16:22,480 Speaker 1: but she's so bad they don't feel like they can 267 00:16:22,520 --> 00:16:26,120 Speaker 1: do it. And that's why it all leads back to 268 00:16:26,840 --> 00:16:31,720 Speaker 1: the Democrats perhaps made something of a you know, it 269 00:16:31,760 --> 00:16:34,680 Speaker 1: was a pyrric victory, you like that ancient Greek stuff. Yeah, 270 00:16:34,760 --> 00:16:39,200 Speaker 1: very well, said pyric victory back when they were able 271 00:16:39,200 --> 00:16:42,720 Speaker 1: to get Biden through it in twenty twenty. Because I 272 00:16:42,760 --> 00:16:46,360 Speaker 1: think they're setting themselves up for a tremendously difficult twenty 273 00:16:46,440 --> 00:16:49,840 Speaker 1: twenty four election even with and let's be honest here 274 00:16:49,880 --> 00:16:52,920 Speaker 1: about this, you know, the chances of the economy being 275 00:16:52,960 --> 00:16:56,280 Speaker 1: pretty okay by the time election rolls around. I think there, 276 00:16:56,320 --> 00:16:58,600 Speaker 1: I think you know, you'll be in a recovery period. 277 00:16:58,640 --> 00:17:00,320 Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't think people are I feel 278 00:17:00,360 --> 00:17:02,880 Speaker 1: that bleak about the economy, which factors into all this 279 00:17:02,920 --> 00:17:06,240 Speaker 1: stuff a lot. And you know you might have otherwise, 280 00:17:06,240 --> 00:17:08,359 Speaker 1: if you had a competent democrat with any kind of 281 00:17:08,359 --> 00:17:11,040 Speaker 1: a real story, you might be in a better spot. 282 00:17:11,080 --> 00:17:13,360 Speaker 1: But they're stuck with Joe Biden. I just think they're 283 00:17:13,359 --> 00:17:14,960 Speaker 1: stuck with them. I don't see how they get rid 284 00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:16,840 Speaker 1: of them. But then again, I didn't think they would 285 00:17:16,840 --> 00:17:18,720 Speaker 1: be crazy enough to run Biden in the first place, 286 00:17:18,760 --> 00:17:22,800 Speaker 1: so anything can happen. James Cliber made the decision, and 287 00:17:22,800 --> 00:17:26,880 Speaker 1: everybody else just got in line. Buck.

Great to be back on a program. 317 00:18:53,680 --> 00:18:55,879 Speaker 1: I appreciate you sir, so, what's going on with the 318 00:18:55,920 --> 00:18:58,760 Speaker 1: Obama I'm sorry the Biden Pardon me, we're just talking 319 00:18:58,760 --> 00:19:02,160 Speaker 1: about Obama a few minutes ago. Biden administration right now. 320 00:19:02,200 --> 00:19:07,360 Speaker 1: With regard to American energy, Well, look, as you guys know, 321 00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:13,840 Speaker 1: it's in many ways more of the same, But we 322 00:19:16,160 --> 00:19:20,720 Speaker 1: had a potential and I say potential softening of the 323 00:19:20,800 --> 00:19:26,160 Speaker 1: craziness that's been happening for two years. And you guys 324 00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:28,560 Speaker 1: know what this is. I mean, look, there's a lot 325 00:19:28,600 --> 00:19:33,240 Speaker 1: of horrible things strategically that they are doing across so 326 00:19:33,280 --> 00:19:37,679 Speaker 1: many sectors in terms of hurting America, but I believe 327 00:19:38,320 --> 00:19:42,640 Speaker 1: the worst damaging policy of the Biden administration has been 328 00:19:42,680 --> 00:19:45,840 Speaker 1: their energy policy. And you guys know it. Clay and Buck, 329 00:19:45,880 --> 00:19:49,160 Speaker 1: you guys have been talking a lot about this over 330 00:19:49,200 --> 00:19:51,560 Speaker 1: the course of the last two years, but we know 331 00:19:51,600 --> 00:19:54,720 Speaker 1: what it is. Day one, they've been shutting down the 332 00:19:54,720 --> 00:19:58,200 Speaker 1: production of American energy and slow rolling it. They've been 333 00:19:58,720 --> 00:20:03,440 Speaker 1: stopping energy infrastructure Keystone XL on day one, but so 334 00:20:03,480 --> 00:20:06,399 Speaker 1: many other things. They've been going to Wall Street and 335 00:20:06,440 --> 00:20:10,679 Speaker 1: American financial institutions, pressuring them, believe it or not, not 336 00:20:10,720 --> 00:20:15,959 Speaker 1: to invest in American energy. And then when the predictable 337 00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:20,360 Speaker 1: results of those policies happens, which is higher energy costs, 338 00:20:20,600 --> 00:20:25,480 Speaker 1: gas costs for American working families. These guys then literally 339 00:20:25,520 --> 00:20:29,640 Speaker 1: go over on bended knee to Saudi Arabia, to Venezuela. Heck, 340 00:20:29,640 --> 00:20:32,399 Speaker 1: they're even playing foot seat with Iran, the biggest terrorist 341 00:20:32,440 --> 00:20:35,399 Speaker 1: state in the world, to get them to produce smaller energy. 342 00:20:35,560 --> 00:20:39,000 Speaker 1: So what I've been trying to do the last two 343 00:20:39,080 --> 00:20:42,639 Speaker 1: years is using every element of my power in the 344 00:20:42,720 --> 00:20:47,080 Speaker 1: Senate to get them to do a course correction. You 345 00:20:47,240 --> 00:20:51,240 Speaker 1: got to produce American energy here. We have the highest 346 00:20:51,280 --> 00:20:55,040 Speaker 1: standards on the environment in the world, We have the 347 00:20:55,119 --> 00:20:58,720 Speaker 1: best workers in the world, and when we produce American 348 00:20:58,840 --> 00:21:02,040 Speaker 1: energy here, it help helps our economy, helps our national security, 349 00:21:02,080 --> 00:21:09,119 Speaker 1: and yes, clay and bucket helps our environment. So today 350 00:21:10,240 --> 00:21:15,040 Speaker 1: we had an announcement from the BLM Bureau of Land 351 00:21:15,040 --> 00:21:19,600 Speaker 1: Management that said they are gonna they're looking at moving 352 00:21:19,640 --> 00:21:23,320 Speaker 1: forward on a project in Alaska we call the Willow Project. Now, 353 00:21:23,880 --> 00:21:27,040 Speaker 1: this is in the National Petroleum Reserve of Alaska, which 354 00:21:27,040 --> 00:21:29,960 Speaker 1: we set aside Congress seventy years ago for oil and 355 00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:36,439 Speaker 1: gas exploration. Shouldn't be controversial. It will be about two 356 00:21:36,720 --> 00:21:40,440 Speaker 1: hundred thousand barrels a day at peak production. Could America 357 00:21:40,600 --> 00:21:44,520 Speaker 1: use that? Yes, we can with the highest environmental standards 358 00:21:44,560 --> 00:21:48,399 Speaker 1: of any major energy project in the world. So we 359 00:21:48,480 --> 00:21:51,800 Speaker 1: got thirty more days until what's the record of decision 360 00:21:52,520 --> 00:21:56,000 Speaker 1: is issued. And we know that within the administration all 361 00:21:56,000 --> 00:21:59,560 Speaker 1: the radical environmental groups in America are coming out against this. 362 00:22:00,320 --> 00:22:02,720 Speaker 1: Some of the allies of these radical groups in the 363 00:22:02,720 --> 00:22:06,360 Speaker 1: Bide administration are still trying to kill it. But we 364 00:22:06,440 --> 00:22:09,880 Speaker 1: need Americans and I would love it if all your listeners, 365 00:22:09,920 --> 00:22:12,960 Speaker 1: I know you guys got millions, would be a call 366 00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:16,640 Speaker 1: to action to the Bureau of Land Management BLM dot 367 00:22:16,680 --> 00:22:19,000 Speaker 1: com and the next thirty days saying hey, we support 368 00:22:19,080 --> 00:22:21,600 Speaker 1: the Willow Project. What's good in terms of energy and 369 00:22:21,640 --> 00:22:29,480 Speaker 1: Alaska is good for our country. Sorry, it's BLM dot gov. 370 00:22:29,600 --> 00:22:32,520 Speaker 1: So that's the latest and greatest, guys. There might be 371 00:22:32,600 --> 00:22:37,200 Speaker 1: a crack in this insane policy to shut the American 372 00:22:37,359 --> 00:22:42,639 Speaker 1: energy in Alaska in particular and go beg Venezuela and 373 00:22:42,760 --> 00:22:46,760 Speaker 1: the Saudiast for oil. But we'll see. It's going to 374 00:22:46,840 --> 00:22:50,280 Speaker 1: be the Battle Royale in the next thirty days, and 375 00:22:50,880 --> 00:22:53,720 Speaker 1: we need every American weigh an end to try and 376 00:22:53,800 --> 00:22:58,600 Speaker 1: help our country regain American Energy security. That website is 377 00:22:58,600 --> 00:23:01,400 Speaker 1: BLM dot gov center. I appreciate you joining us. Sorry 378 00:23:01,400 --> 00:23:03,800 Speaker 1: about that, BLM, Yeah, don't. I don't want to send 379 00:23:03,800 --> 00:23:06,720 Speaker 1: you BLM dot com. That might be something different. Yeah, 380 00:23:06,800 --> 00:23:08,399 Speaker 1: no doubt. That's a good joke in there. And the 381 00:23:08,520 --> 00:23:10,800 Speaker 1: White Load of Season one for anybody out there who 382 00:23:10,800 --> 00:23:14,440 Speaker 1: watched White Load of Season one, UM, Senator, a lot 383 00:23:14,480 --> 00:23:17,280 Speaker 1: of questions we get, we got a big audience in Alaska. 384 00:23:17,520 --> 00:23:22,280 Speaker 1: Ranked choice voting is a mess and it feels like 385 00:23:22,320 --> 00:23:25,520 Speaker 1: a lot of people, Republicans, Democrats, Independence felt like they 386 00:23:25,520 --> 00:23:27,520 Speaker 1: were sold to bill of goods based on the way 387 00:23:27,520 --> 00:23:30,360 Speaker 1: it was applied in the midterms. What can you tell 388 00:23:30,440 --> 00:23:33,199 Speaker 1: us about that ranked choice voting? Whether there might be 389 00:23:33,240 --> 00:23:36,399 Speaker 1: a movement to end the way that ranked choice voting? 390 00:23:36,640 --> 00:23:40,040 Speaker 1: Certainly it cost Republicans a House uh seat, maybe have 391 00:23:40,240 --> 00:23:43,280 Speaker 1: changed the outcome of who would have won the Senate. 392 00:23:43,480 --> 00:23:46,000 Speaker 1: What do you think about ranked choice and is it 393 00:23:46,040 --> 00:23:51,719 Speaker 1: possible to go back to quote unquote normal voting in Alaska? Well, 394 00:23:51,800 --> 00:23:54,880 Speaker 1: the background of this and you guys know it, UM, 395 00:23:55,400 --> 00:23:58,120 Speaker 1: in my view, was very troubling because you had an 396 00:23:58,119 --> 00:24:01,399 Speaker 1: outside group come in in twenty two they put this 397 00:24:01,560 --> 00:24:05,000 Speaker 1: ballot on statewide ballot. They put it I don't know, 398 00:24:05,040 --> 00:24:09,800 Speaker 1: eight or nine million bucks in advertising behind it. The 399 00:24:09,880 --> 00:24:14,240 Speaker 1: Republican Party. I was certainly opposed to it. In twenty twenty, 400 00:24:14,520 --> 00:24:16,800 Speaker 1: we tried to fight it. We didn't have the resources 401 00:24:16,800 --> 00:24:21,439 Speaker 1: to fight it. It was twenty eight pages right as 402 00:24:21,480 --> 00:24:25,960 Speaker 1: a ballot initiative. Nobody knew anything about it. That legislature 403 00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:29,240 Speaker 1: didn't hold any hearings about it. It was this big 404 00:24:29,280 --> 00:24:33,520 Speaker 1: outside lower forty eight money that got this on the ballot, 405 00:24:33,560 --> 00:24:36,399 Speaker 1: and it passed in twenty twenty would less than one 406 00:24:36,720 --> 00:24:40,600 Speaker 1: percent of the vote. I mean, that's not democracy. Nobody 407 00:24:40,640 --> 00:24:43,879 Speaker 1: even knew what they were voting on. Very confusing, and 408 00:24:43,920 --> 00:24:45,840 Speaker 1: I will tell you the first run of it. In 409 00:24:45,880 --> 00:24:50,200 Speaker 1: my view talking to Alaskans, I'll give you an example. 410 00:24:50,320 --> 00:24:53,800 Speaker 1: You know, we have a really great Alaska State Fair 411 00:24:53,840 --> 00:24:56,840 Speaker 1: and it's wonderful. If any of your listeners haven't been 412 00:24:56,840 --> 00:24:59,560 Speaker 1: to Alaska. I know all your listeners who do or 413 00:24:59,640 --> 00:25:03,359 Speaker 1: our I'm Alaska. Our state fairs awesome. I have a 414 00:25:03,400 --> 00:25:06,359 Speaker 1: booth there. You know, I worked the booth. It's a 415 00:25:06,440 --> 00:25:09,720 Speaker 1: great opportunity to meet with and here from Alaskans. I 416 00:25:09,800 --> 00:25:12,359 Speaker 1: was working my booth at the state Fair right after 417 00:25:12,400 --> 00:25:16,040 Speaker 1: the first use of the ranked choice voting in August 418 00:25:16,080 --> 00:25:20,160 Speaker 1: of last year, I would say, honest to gosh, guys 419 00:25:22,600 --> 00:25:25,080 Speaker 1: of the Alaskans who were talking about to me were 420 00:25:25,200 --> 00:25:29,320 Speaker 1: said completely confusing. I had no idea how it worked. 421 00:25:29,359 --> 00:25:34,240 Speaker 1: I mean unanimously, at least in that kind of unofficial poll. 422 00:25:34,400 --> 00:25:38,280 Speaker 1: Talking to dozens of Alaskans about ranked choice voting utter confusion. 423 00:25:38,480 --> 00:25:42,520 Speaker 1: So I'm hoping the way it works in our legislature, 424 00:25:42,600 --> 00:25:45,119 Speaker 1: once a ballot initiative has been on the books for 425 00:25:45,200 --> 00:25:49,080 Speaker 1: two years, it doesn't need to be amended by another 426 00:25:49,160 --> 00:25:53,640 Speaker 1: ballot initiative, and it can actually be amended by the 427 00:25:53,760 --> 00:25:58,640 Speaker 1: state legislature. So we're in that window now. At a minimum, 428 00:25:58,800 --> 00:26:05,760 Speaker 1: I'm hopeful that our legislature holds hearings and and you know, 429 00:26:06,119 --> 00:26:08,840 Speaker 1: tries to get to the bottom of what people really 430 00:26:08,840 --> 00:26:11,280 Speaker 1: thought about it, because, like I said, it got put 431 00:26:11,320 --> 00:26:16,199 Speaker 1: on the ballot without any background, without any knowledge, and 432 00:26:16,480 --> 00:26:19,840 Speaker 1: the initial run I think caused way more confusion than 433 00:26:19,880 --> 00:26:23,439 Speaker 1: the you know, original system that exists in most states, 434 00:26:23,920 --> 00:26:28,200 Speaker 1: no doubt. Senator Dan Sullivan of Alaska BLM dot gov 435 00:26:28,400 --> 00:26:31,800 Speaker 1: is the website if you want more freedom for the 436 00:26:31,800 --> 00:26:35,160 Speaker 1: people of Alaska, We appreciate your time and look forward 437 00:26:35,160 --> 00:26:37,480 Speaker 1: to talk to you again.

Thing Like that. My my advice to people 498 00:30:00,280 --> 00:30:01,720 Speaker 1: out there, and I would say this to my own 499 00:30:01,760 --> 00:30:05,960 Speaker 1: sons and Mike Leach rest in Piece, former coach Mississippi State, 500 00:30:05,960 --> 00:30:09,760 Speaker 1: Texas Tech Washington State, has said this publicly before. Eloping 501 00:30:09,840 --> 00:30:12,320 Speaker 1: is not a bad move when you have gone through 502 00:30:12,600 --> 00:30:16,840 Speaker 1: what a wedding cost, when you start to consider all 503 00:30:16,880 --> 00:30:20,800 Speaker 1: the different moving parts associated with it. Small wedding which 504 00:30:20,840 --> 00:30:23,000 Speaker 1: you're doing, I think is a good move or eloping 505 00:30:23,120 --> 00:30:25,440 Speaker 1: is not a bad move. I got married nineteen years ago. 506 00:30:25,720 --> 00:30:29,200 Speaker 1: Almost Laura handled everything because I was taking the bar exam. 507 00:30:29,280 --> 00:30:31,200 Speaker 1: I got married like a week after I took the 508 00:30:31,200 --> 00:30:35,600 Speaker 1: bar exam, and I knew nothing other than hey, you're 509 00:30:35,640 --> 00:30:37,960 Speaker 1: supposed to stand here and walk down. Now. I will 510 00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:40,160 Speaker 1: say this, I said it on the show the other day. 511 00:30:40,200 --> 00:30:43,160 Speaker 1: I got the worst haircut known demand that my wife 512 00:30:43,240 --> 00:30:45,520 Speaker 1: is still angry about. So I would the one bit 513 00:30:45,560 --> 00:30:48,560 Speaker 1: of advice I would give to men out there, don't 514 00:30:48,640 --> 00:30:53,880 Speaker 1: make any aggressive decisions when it comes to personal grooming 515 00:30:53,960 --> 00:30:57,440 Speaker 1: that substantially might alter the way you look. I told Kara, said, 516 00:30:57,440 --> 00:30:59,120 Speaker 1: you know, maybe I'll just shave my beard before the 517 00:30:59,120 --> 00:31:03,600 Speaker 1: wedding pass. She threw the veto on that one yellow 518 00:31:03,600 --> 00:31:08,240 Speaker 1: flag on the field pass interference unacceptable. Beard stay, So 519 00:31:08,280 --> 00:31:10,800 Speaker 1: I said, okay, Beard stays. So that was we we 520 00:31:10,840 --> 00:31:15,200 Speaker 1: averted disaster on that one. I would say. And you know, 521 00:31:15,400 --> 00:31:19,040 Speaker 1: for me, I just I'm I. You know, I used 522 00:31:19,040 --> 00:31:21,320 Speaker 1: to be a personally. I feel like back in my twenties, 523 00:31:21,320 --> 00:31:23,640 Speaker 1: I threw a fair amount of parties. And what you 524 00:31:23,720 --> 00:31:26,840 Speaker 1: realize is, I think it's really hard to enjoy things 525 00:31:26,960 --> 00:31:29,600 Speaker 1: when you're responsible for the enjoyment of so many others. 526 00:31:30,040 --> 00:31:31,719 Speaker 1: And that was part of what led us to the 527 00:31:31,760 --> 00:31:34,520 Speaker 1: path of just just immediate family. It's going to be really, 528 00:31:35,000 --> 00:31:38,480 Speaker 1: really simple and straightforward. I have seen. I mean I 529 00:31:38,880 --> 00:31:41,000 Speaker 1: was at a wedding where a bride had a full 530 00:31:41,080 --> 00:31:44,080 Speaker 1: on like panic attack, not because of a problem with 531 00:31:44,080 --> 00:31:46,120 Speaker 1: a groom in it, but because it was like the 532 00:31:46,120 --> 00:31:49,200 Speaker 1: hottest day on record. It was a July wedding, it 533 00:31:49,240 --> 00:31:52,600 Speaker 1: was mostly outside, it was one hundred plus degrees, it 534 00:31:52,640 --> 00:31:56,240 Speaker 1: was a black tie wedding, and people were basically passing out. 535 00:31:56,480 --> 00:31:58,280 Speaker 1: And she's like, what do I do. You know, It's like, 536 00:31:58,520 --> 00:32:00,440 Speaker 1: I don't need that, you know, I don't want that. 537 00:32:01,480 --> 00:32:04,280 Speaker 1: I think if you went back and I know, if 538 00:32:04,360 --> 00:32:06,880 Speaker 1: Laura called in right now. My wife. She would say 539 00:32:07,160 --> 00:32:09,600 Speaker 1: everything about the wedding was great, except Clay got the 540 00:32:09,640 --> 00:32:12,719 Speaker 1: worst haircut that he has ever had in the entirety 541 00:32:12,720 --> 00:32:15,880 Speaker 1: of our la Clay, hold on there photos or it 542 00:32:15,920 --> 00:32:20,160 Speaker 1: didn't happen. My friend Clay dot com. You can reach out. 543 00:32:20,200 --> 00:32:22,120 Speaker 1: We'll put some up on Clay and Buck dot com 544 00:32:22,160 --> 00:32:25,200 Speaker 1: if my wife will permit it. But it was I've 545 00:32:25,280 --> 00:32:29,120 Speaker 1: had I've had bad bowl cut haircuts before. This was 546 00:32:29,320 --> 00:32:31,920 Speaker 1: a it's a really bad haircut. I probably should have 547 00:32:31,920 --> 00:32:35,880 Speaker 1: gone back in and uh and gotten it redone. I 548 00:32:35,880 --> 00:32:37,880 Speaker 1: don't know if my little brothers listening to the show today, 549 00:32:37,880 --> 00:32:40,200 Speaker 1: but this reminds me Um and I. You know how 550 00:32:40,200 --> 00:32:43,320 Speaker 1: they're like memories when you're a kid. I remember hearing 551 00:32:44,320 --> 00:32:48,080 Speaker 1: the shriek from my mother, still, the shriek of like 552 00:32:48,560 --> 00:32:51,400 Speaker 1: of just sheer panic when I must have been He 553 00:32:51,480 --> 00:32:53,840 Speaker 1: must have been four, and so I would have been, 554 00:32:53,960 --> 00:32:56,080 Speaker 1: you know, maybe nine or ten years old, and I 555 00:32:56,120 --> 00:32:59,560 Speaker 1: remember thinking, oh, no, something terrible has happened to my 556 00:32:59,600 --> 00:33:03,280 Speaker 1: little brother. And I kind of go running in, and 557 00:33:03,360 --> 00:33:06,080 Speaker 1: of course my mom had shrieked because he had little 558 00:33:06,120 --> 00:33:09,440 Speaker 1: Crayola safety scissors, not you know scissors that you can't 559 00:33:09,480 --> 00:33:13,280 Speaker 1: really cut yourself with but he had managed to give 560 00:33:13,360 --> 00:33:17,880 Speaker 1: himself a haircut that was like like a square going 561 00:33:17,960 --> 00:33:20,440 Speaker 1: up to sort of the middle of his scalp. I mean, 562 00:33:20,600 --> 00:33:23,360 Speaker 1: he almost looked like a like a ninth century monk 563 00:33:23,480 --> 00:33:25,880 Speaker 1: or something. I mean it was he cut his hair 564 00:33:26,040 --> 00:33:29,720 Speaker 1: all the way back on his head with these Crayola scissors. 565 00:33:30,440 --> 00:33:32,720 Speaker 1: And he still gets mad when I bring this up 566 00:33:32,920 --> 00:33:38,080 Speaker 1: because of the photos. For about six months afterwards, you know, 567 00:33:38,160 --> 00:33:40,320 Speaker 1: he looked like he looked like he had been through 568 00:33:40,360 --> 00:33:42,239 Speaker 1: some stuff. A little four year my little four year 569 00:33:42,280 --> 00:33:44,160 Speaker 1: old brother at the time, because what do you do. 570 00:33:44,280 --> 00:33:46,400 Speaker 1: You're not gonna put a two pay on him. My 571 00:33:46,600 --> 00:33:49,760 Speaker 1: kids were around, My youngest was about four years old. 572 00:33:49,840 --> 00:33:52,320 Speaker 1: It reminds me of this this hair situation. We were 573 00:33:52,360 --> 00:33:55,640 Speaker 1: getting off the airplane. We were waiting to get our bags, 574 00:33:56,120 --> 00:33:59,920 Speaker 1: and my seven year old put his gum in my 575 00:34:00,120 --> 00:34:04,080 Speaker 1: four year olds hair. And you know, my four year 576 00:34:04,080 --> 00:34:05,920 Speaker 1: old still has I mean, my middle son still has 577 00:34:05,960 --> 00:34:09,719 Speaker 1: super long hair. But I just remember, how like, why 578 00:34:09,719 --> 00:34:12,000 Speaker 1: would you ever think to do that? Why you know, 579 00:34:12,320 --> 00:34:14,480 Speaker 1: it's one thing to get your own gum in your 580 00:34:14,480 --> 00:34:17,279 Speaker 1: own hair. He put his gum in his brother's hair. 581 00:34:17,320 --> 00:34:19,840 Speaker 1: We were trying to get the trying to get the 582 00:34:19,840 --> 00:34:22,520 Speaker 1: bags off the conveyor belt we were traveling, and I 583 00:34:22,600 --> 00:34:26,440 Speaker 1: just remember thinking, this is utterly ridiculous, Like how do 584 00:34:26,480 --> 00:34:30,240 Speaker 1: you end up in this situation? Um? But but you know, parenthood, 585 00:34:30,239 --> 00:34:32,040 Speaker 1: you got something to look forward to soon after you 586 00:34:32,080 --> 00:34:34,920 Speaker 1: maybe get married on Saturday. You're gonna be here Friday 587 00:34:34,960 --> 00:34:38,600 Speaker 1: and Monday. Yeah, yeah, of course. You know, the audience 588 00:34:38,680 --> 00:34:40,239 Speaker 1: is part of the fam. They got to hear about 589 00:34:40,280 --> 00:34:42,120 Speaker 1: how the whole ceremony went. So I'll tell you guys 590 00:34:42,120 --> 00:34:44,759 Speaker 1: about it all that. Um But I do remember also 591 00:34:44,880 --> 00:34:48,359 Speaker 1: in the pandemic, it's you know, true story. I got 592 00:34:48,440 --> 00:34:50,839 Speaker 1: scissors sent because you couldn't get a haircut, and I 593 00:34:50,880 --> 00:34:54,000 Speaker 1: started to look in New York, which is just crazy, right, No, 594 00:34:54,040 --> 00:34:55,799 Speaker 1: you couldn't do anything. How long could you not get 595 00:34:55,800 --> 00:34:58,080 Speaker 1: a haircut in New York City? I think I went 596 00:34:58,200 --> 00:35:00,720 Speaker 1: for four or five months with no air cuts allowed 597 00:35:00,760 --> 00:35:03,920 Speaker 1: of any kind, you know. And remember everyone was also terrified, 598 00:35:03,960 --> 00:35:05,239 Speaker 1: So it's not even like you could get your friend 599 00:35:05,280 --> 00:35:07,160 Speaker 1: who cuts hair, because everyone's like, oh, COVID, They're all 600 00:35:07,160 --> 00:35:10,400 Speaker 1: freaked out. So I cut my own hair and I 601 00:35:10,800 --> 00:35:13,960 Speaker 1: can tell you it. You think you're good at it 602 00:35:14,160 --> 00:35:17,640 Speaker 1: when you're doing it, and then it grows a little more, 603 00:35:17,800 --> 00:35:19,759 Speaker 1: you know, in time, and you realize, no, I was 604 00:35:19,800 --> 00:35:21,600 Speaker 1: not good at cuting me. I would never think I 605 00:35:21,680 --> 00:35:23,160 Speaker 1: was good at it now I would. I remember the 606 00:35:23,160 --> 00:35:25,200 Speaker 1: Flowbee back in the day that they would sell where 607 00:35:25,239 --> 00:35:28,400 Speaker 1: you could cut your hair. I probably would have. They 608 00:35:28,400 --> 00:35:31,719 Speaker 1: didn't hair cut places open back up soon in the 609 00:35:31,719 --> 00:35:34,759 Speaker 1: Free State of Tennessee and also Florida, where I was. 610 00:35:35,040 --> 00:35:37,879 Speaker 1: But I would have just gone straight buzz probably if 611 00:35:38,320 --> 00:35:40,080 Speaker 1: if I had had to cut my hair, because I 612 00:35:40,080 --> 00:35:42,200 Speaker 1: otherwise wouldn't have been able to do it. I think 613 00:35:42,200 --> 00:35:47,360 Speaker 1: that going buzz cut is very, very ergonomic and aerodynamic, 614 00:35:47,719 --> 00:35:50,320 Speaker 1: but people would see the shockingly large size of my 615 00:35:50,440 --> 00:35:53,600 Speaker 1: cranium and I would scare small children, look like a 616 00:35:53,640 --> 00:35:56,080 Speaker 1: space alien. So I don't think I could do it. Also, 617 00:35:56,200 --> 00:35:59,160 Speaker 1: when you get to be our age, there's always that 618 00:35:59,239 --> 00:36:01,799 Speaker 1: fear when you cut your hair back, is it gonna 619 00:36:01,800 --> 00:36:04,160 Speaker 1: come back? Is it all gonna come back in like normal? 620 00:36:04,640 --> 00:36:06,600 Speaker 1: And then there's I mean, you get into your forties, 621 00:36:06,600 --> 00:36:08,840 Speaker 1: a lot of guys out there nodding their heads along. 622 00:36:09,960 --> 00:36:11,440 Speaker 1: You might have had hair for a long time. You 623 00:36:11,520 --> 00:36:13,480 Speaker 1: go get that buzz next thing you know it doesn't 624 00:36:13,520 --> 00:36:15,560 Speaker 1: come back in like it did before. Our buddy Jesse 625 00:36:15,680 --> 00:36:18,359 Speaker 1: Kelly taking a shot at him here can look at him. 626 00:36:18,400 --> 00:36:19,760 Speaker 1: No way he can do with a buzz cut.
