00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,320
Speaker 1: Welcome to today's edition of the Clay Travis and Buck

2
00:00:03,360 --> 00:00:08,840
Speaker 1: Sexton Show podcast. Welcome in Friday edition Clay Travis and

3
00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:13,480
Speaker 1: Buck Sexton Show. We had a awesome night. You got

4
00:00:13,520 --> 00:00:16,560
Speaker 1: to meet a lot of our listeners as we celebrated

5
00:00:16,640 --> 00:00:19,440
Speaker 1: one year on the program last night in New York City.

6
00:00:19,480 --> 00:00:23,040
Speaker 1: Thanks to all who came out, and we are looking

7
00:00:23,079 --> 00:00:26,360
Speaker 1: forward to rolling into year two and continuing to be

8
00:00:26,480 --> 00:00:29,440
Speaker 1: voices for sanity in an insane world. Hope all of

9
00:00:29,480 --> 00:00:32,760
Speaker 1: you are having a good early start to your weekends

10
00:00:32,920 --> 00:00:37,280
Speaker 1: and we are certainly prepared to power you right into

11
00:00:37,520 --> 00:00:44,440
Speaker 1: that afternoon evening fun of Friday. But there remains, unfortunately,

12
00:00:45,080 --> 00:00:51,160
Speaker 1: the ongoing cloud of incompetence surrounding the Biden administration. As

13
00:00:51,159 --> 00:00:54,680
Speaker 1: we are speaking to you, the stock market, having one

14
00:00:54,880 --> 00:00:59,760
Speaker 1: of its worst weeks ever, is down one hundred and

15
00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:04,120
Speaker 1: twenty three points again today. It has been a real

16
00:01:04,319 --> 00:01:07,840
Speaker 1: drubbing that the stock market has been taking as our

17
00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:12,679
Speaker 1: overall national economy tries to come to grips with the

18
00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:16,040
Speaker 1: overall inflation rates. And I would just say this, Buck,

19
00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:19,920
Speaker 1: I think we're already in a recession. This is my prediction.

20
00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:23,280
Speaker 1: It didn't get a great deal of attention. But if

21
00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:26,680
Speaker 1: you looked when we had the three quarter rate interest

22
00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:29,679
Speaker 1: interest rate hike, three quarter point interest rate hike that

23
00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:34,240
Speaker 1: happened earlier this week, the Fed lowered its second quarter

24
00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:38,520
Speaker 1: predictions on GDP to zero zero point zero. The growth

25
00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:41,360
Speaker 1: rate had been point nine percent. It wasn't exactly a

26
00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:46,080
Speaker 1: sterling growth rate. But if they are now forecasting zero

27
00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:49,240
Speaker 1: point zero percent effectively, which is what they are, in

28
00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:53,200
Speaker 1: other words, just barely avoiding a negative number, it feels

29
00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:56,160
Speaker 1: to me like we are probably already in a recession.

30
00:01:56,240 --> 00:01:59,080
Speaker 1: We know that in the first quarter GDP went down

31
00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:04,280
Speaker 1: two conceptive quarters of negative GDP is a recession, Buck,

32
00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:06,760
Speaker 1: I think we're in a recession. I want to play

33
00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:09,880
Speaker 1: you this audio because Joe Biden finally did an interview

34
00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:12,359
Speaker 1: and he talked with the AP in the Oval office,

35
00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:17,639
Speaker 1: and he said that a recession is not inevitable. I think, unfortunately,

36
00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:20,560
Speaker 1: we're already in a recession. Lee play cut seven here

37
00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:25,399
Speaker 1: for you, as CNN is even interacting here with what

38
00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:28,280
Speaker 1: is going on and saying, it definitely feels like we're

39
00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:31,120
Speaker 1: already in a recession. Nobody knows when or if there

40
00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:33,040
Speaker 1: will be a recession. At some point, there will be

41
00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:35,680
Speaker 1: because we live in an economy that has business cycles. Right,

42
00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:37,760
Speaker 1: we don't know if there's one now, If there's one

43
00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:40,079
Speaker 1: maybe some time next year. What we do know is

44
00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:42,400
Speaker 1: the markets are reacting like it. It's inevitable. And you've

45
00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:46,079
Speaker 1: got a majority of global CEOs now, according to the

46
00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:48,160
Speaker 1: Wall Street Journal, saying they think that we're either in

47
00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:50,600
Speaker 1: one or headed for one. That depends on where you live.

48
00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:53,320
Speaker 1: There's much more likely you'll see recessions in Europe than

49
00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:55,240
Speaker 1: in the United States. But no one knows for sure.

50
00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:57,720
Speaker 1: And the Fed is trying to navigate what it calls

51
00:02:57,720 --> 00:03:00,160
Speaker 1: a soft landing, trying to get out of this mess

52
00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:02,960
Speaker 1: without too much damage to the US economy. But issue

53
00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:05,400
Speaker 1: number one here is inflation. They're trying to get inflation

54
00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:07,639
Speaker 1: under control, and the stock market, at least right now,

55
00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:10,919
Speaker 1: is adjusting to this new world of higher inflation, higher

56
00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:14,320
Speaker 1: interest rates, slower growth, and that's why you're seeing stocks react.

57
00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:16,640
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, but the Biden administration Clay doesn't get to

58
00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:20,280
Speaker 1: have it both ways. Six months ago, nine months ago,

59
00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:24,000
Speaker 1: Biden himself was pointing to the stock market talking about

60
00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:26,600
Speaker 1: how it was just a function of build back. Better,

61
00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:29,200
Speaker 1: just spend another five or six trillion. We're going to

62
00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:33,000
Speaker 1: get ourselves out out of the ditch, the duldrums we

63
00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:36,480
Speaker 1: had been in. No, it turns out that the decisions

64
00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:40,480
Speaker 1: they made have had a dramatically negative impact on the economy,

65
00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:42,400
Speaker 1: and now they want to tell us that it was

66
00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:45,280
Speaker 1: its cyclical right. So six months ago Biden saying, look

67
00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:48,440
Speaker 1: at the stock market, I'm amazing, And now the stock

68
00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:51,600
Speaker 1: market has just gotten crushed. You have less money in

69
00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:54,480
Speaker 1: your four oh one K and your retirement accounts or

70
00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:57,880
Speaker 1: your stock accounts in general than you did when Biden

71
00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:00,800
Speaker 1: took office. So that's eighteen months of gains wiped out,

72
00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:03,040
Speaker 1: and they want to tell you that this has nothing

73
00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:05,680
Speaker 1: to do with Joe Biden. It just reminds me very

74
00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:08,760
Speaker 1: much of the explanation they give now for the high

75
00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:11,440
Speaker 1: price of gas, which of course is the putin price hike.

76
00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:17,000
Speaker 1: Greedy oil suppliers, greedy refiner all this is crap and nonsense.

77
00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:20,039
Speaker 1: It's worth reminding people that six months ago Biden was

78
00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:23,479
Speaker 1: saying it was a great economy, boasting about the jobs,

79
00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:25,400
Speaker 1: boasting about the stock market, and now we see it's

80
00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:28,960
Speaker 1: all fallen apart. And eighteen months ago Biden was talking

81
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:32,919
Speaker 1: about how if he Could he would ban all fuel,

82
00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:36,200
Speaker 1: all gas, all oil. Oh? Yeah. Would there be any

83
00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:40,080
Speaker 1: place for fossil fuels, including coal and fracking in a

84
00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:44,000
Speaker 1: Biden administration, No? Would, We would work it out. We

85
00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:47,039
Speaker 1: would make sure it's eliminated. And no more subsidies for

86
00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:50,320
Speaker 1: either one of those. No more subsidies for fossil filling industry,

87
00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:54,279
Speaker 1: No more drilling non federal lands, no more drilling, including offshore,

88
00:04:54,760 --> 00:05:01,480
Speaker 1: no ability for the oil industry to continue to drill period.

89
00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:08,279
Speaker 1: I've argued against any more oil drilling or gas drilling

90
00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:11,680
Speaker 1: on federal lands that we can and uh and and

91
00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:15,080
Speaker 1: and to stop that we are. We argue, if you're

92
00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:17,800
Speaker 1: rid of fossil fuels, if you're going to bad practing

93
00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:21,160
Speaker 1: all across America right now, I would love to Yeah,

94
00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:23,080
Speaker 1: I'd love to too. I'd love to make sure we

95
00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:27,359
Speaker 1: don't gas period. I think, I know, I feel I

96
00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:29,680
Speaker 1: know a lot more about foreign policy than I knew

97
00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:35,560
Speaker 1: about um about the oil industry, Clay, Can he make

98
00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:38,240
Speaker 1: it any more clear that he hates the fossil fuel

99
00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:40,520
Speaker 1: industry at least when he wants Democrat votes. Can you

100
00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:43,160
Speaker 1: imagine how bad that montage is going to play in

101
00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:47,520
Speaker 1: many different jurisdictions right now, many different places. As people

102
00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:49,960
Speaker 1: are getting ready to go to the polls. We've talked

103
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:52,160
Speaker 1: a lot about what a red wave would look like,

104
00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:55,520
Speaker 1: or what a red tsunami would look like. And I

105
00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:58,919
Speaker 1: can't imagine when you're paying over five dollars a gas

106
00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:02,320
Speaker 1: uh for a gallon of gas, that the reaction to

107
00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:06,720
Speaker 1: any voters out there is going to be remotely positive

108
00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:09,280
Speaker 1: to Joe Biden trying to now say, oh, we've got

109
00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:12,200
Speaker 1: to increase oil and gas exploration, We've got to do

110
00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:16,120
Speaker 1: more drilling, we've got to do when he ran on

111
00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:19,080
Speaker 1: the idea that he was going to stop that from happening.

112
00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:22,400
Speaker 1: So it's not just that Joe Biden has bad ideas,

113
00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:28,520
Speaker 1: it's that his ideas are so bad they make everything worse.

114
00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:30,680
Speaker 1: And this is why the essence, this is why they're

115
00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:34,480
Speaker 1: panicked right now, because we're rapidly coming up on July.

116
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:38,400
Speaker 1: Everybody's on their vacations right now during the summer, so

117
00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:40,520
Speaker 1: many people have saved up for the past couple of

118
00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:43,200
Speaker 1: years because of COVID related issues. People are out there

119
00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:45,880
Speaker 1: more than they have been in a long time. And

120
00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:48,919
Speaker 1: when you're driving your family around and you are paying

121
00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:52,040
Speaker 1: five dollars for a gallon of gas. It is just

122
00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:54,800
Speaker 1: an absolute kick in the teeth to people out there,

123
00:06:55,080 --> 00:06:59,000
Speaker 1: and again from a parenting perspective, what it really does

124
00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:01,200
Speaker 1: is you don't get take your kids to the movies,

125
00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:04,200
Speaker 1: You don't get to take your kids out for dinner

126
00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:06,400
Speaker 1: like you ordinarily would. You may not even be able

127
00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:09,440
Speaker 1: to take a vacation like you would hope to be

128
00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:12,360
Speaker 1: able to do by presents as we come up and

129
00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:15,400
Speaker 1: get start to think about birthdays and all of all

130
00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:18,080
Speaker 1: the holiday season, which isn't that far away. This is

131
00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:21,680
Speaker 1: an unmitigated disaster and it strikes people every single day,

132
00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:24,600
Speaker 1: all day long when you're looking at the price of gas.

133
00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:27,160
Speaker 1: And I think the Biden White House compounds everything that

134
00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:29,480
Speaker 1: you're talking about, which is the pain that people are

135
00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:33,080
Speaker 1: feeling economically. That's there. They can talk about eight million

136
00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:36,480
Speaker 1: jobs or whatever all day. The fact of the matter

137
00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:39,640
Speaker 1: is that people are feeling financially stressed. The markets have turned,

138
00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:42,760
Speaker 1: and we are probably already in a recession, it's just

139
00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:45,040
Speaker 1: not officially yet. We've been talking about a recession here

140
00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:48,560
Speaker 1: for months. But on top of that, there's something so

141
00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:52,120
Speaker 1: dishonest about the Biden administration with regard to all of this,

142
00:07:52,200 --> 00:07:55,080
Speaker 1: which is why I think playing back clips of what

143
00:07:55,160 --> 00:07:58,520
Speaker 1: Joe Biden running for office was saying about the price

144
00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:01,760
Speaker 1: about the gas fuel industry and how that affects the

145
00:08:01,760 --> 00:08:05,280
Speaker 1: price of gas now is obvious. Right. They did everything

146
00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:08,000
Speaker 1: they could to show the environmentalists left that they are

147
00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:11,320
Speaker 1: hostile to the fossil fuel industry, and now the price

148
00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:13,240
Speaker 1: of gas is high, and they say, oh, we didn't

149
00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:16,600
Speaker 1: do anything. When Donald Trump was in office, Democrats and

150
00:08:16,680 --> 00:08:18,720
Speaker 1: I know it was mostly about Russia collusion, which was

151
00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:21,120
Speaker 1: a lie, but Trump would say I want to do

152
00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:23,880
Speaker 1: the following, or here's what we're doing, and Democrats could

153
00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:27,360
Speaker 1: and did obviously say that's bad, we hate that. Whatever.

154
00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:30,440
Speaker 1: But at least there is a clarity among Republicans with

155
00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:33,959
Speaker 1: we're gonna cut taxes, or we want to build the wall,

156
00:08:34,040 --> 00:08:35,960
Speaker 1: or we're going to do remain in Mexico, whatever it

157
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:39,400
Speaker 1: may be. With Democrats, it's a game. They get what

158
00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:43,079
Speaker 1: they want under a certain promise, and then when it's disastrous,

159
00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:46,400
Speaker 1: it's we never wanted that. We didn't think there are

160
00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:49,280
Speaker 1: consequences for the choices that we're making. Think about this

161
00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:51,640
Speaker 1: getting rid of remain in Mexico. Look at the southern

162
00:08:51,640 --> 00:08:54,720
Speaker 1: border now, defund the police. Look at crime in major cities,

163
00:08:54,960 --> 00:08:57,800
Speaker 1: open air drug markets in places like Portland, look at

164
00:08:57,840 --> 00:09:00,360
Speaker 1: the level of overdoses and cities and nation and wide

165
00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:04,040
Speaker 1: last year spending too much money, Look at inflation. They

166
00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:07,880
Speaker 1: try to separate cause and effect, and people aren't buying

167
00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:10,320
Speaker 1: it because it's so obvious. Right, it's not a question

168
00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:13,400
Speaker 1: of I have a policy preference. They have a policy preference,

169
00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:15,360
Speaker 1: and we're going to argue out what could happen in

170
00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:18,920
Speaker 1: the future. We've seen the results, and that's why it's

171
00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:21,960
Speaker 1: going to be I believe, such a devastating red tsunami

172
00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:27,680
Speaker 1: because to your point, they made disastrous policy choices, some

173
00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:31,440
Speaker 1: of the most disastrous policy choices in American history. I

174
00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:34,640
Speaker 1: really do believe that particularly would defund the police, certainly

175
00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:36,640
Speaker 1: with as you just said, what's going on in the border,

176
00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:40,720
Speaker 1: the money that they spent. What's amazing is everything is

177
00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:45,400
Speaker 1: coming home to roost so rapidly because their choices were

178
00:09:45,520 --> 00:09:48,600
Speaker 1: so awful that there wasn't to your point, you could

179
00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:50,960
Speaker 1: sit around and argue about, hey, what should the corporate

180
00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:53,800
Speaker 1: tax rate be? And it might take five six years

181
00:09:53,880 --> 00:09:56,680
Speaker 1: to figure out what the exact impact is of a

182
00:09:56,760 --> 00:10:00,800
Speaker 1: corporate tax rate increase or decrease, because that's how long

183
00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:03,560
Speaker 1: the economy sometimes takes to put all this in motion.

184
00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:06,920
Speaker 1: We were just starting to see, for instance, the benefits

185
00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:09,680
Speaker 1: of the Trump tax cuts when COVID hit. We had

186
00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:12,920
Speaker 1: the best economy in the history of the United States

187
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:16,000
Speaker 1: in February of twenty twenty, as all of those Trump

188
00:10:16,040 --> 00:10:19,760
Speaker 1: economic policies were starting to roll into place. Buck, it

189
00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:25,280
Speaker 1: only took eighteen months of the Biden administration for all

190
00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:28,240
Speaker 1: of the disastrous early day decisions of Joe Biden the

191
00:10:28,280 --> 00:10:31,520
Speaker 1: chickens to proverbially come home to roost, and everything to

192
00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:34,320
Speaker 1: fall apart. He's the worst president in any of our lives.

193
00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:40,599
Speaker 1: I think one of the most illuminating recent historical examples

194
00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:42,839
Speaker 1: we can look to or away that we can lay

195
00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:46,359
Speaker 1: this all out. We're eighteen months into the Biden presidency

196
00:10:47,160 --> 00:10:50,400
Speaker 1: and we're being told that it's not Biden's that the

197
00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:53,439
Speaker 1: economy is not Biden's fall. Yes, I remember we were

198
00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:56,199
Speaker 1: eighteen months into the Trump presidency and do you remember

199
00:10:56,240 --> 00:10:59,160
Speaker 1: what they were saying, It's the Obama economy. Yes, So

200
00:10:59,200 --> 00:11:02,280
Speaker 1: when you're eighteen months into a really strong Republican economy,

201
00:11:02,520 --> 00:11:05,480
Speaker 1: it's the previous Democrat president who should get the credit.

202
00:11:05,640 --> 00:11:08,360
Speaker 1: When you're eighteen months into a Democrat administration and all

203
00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:10,400
Speaker 1: of a sudden, everything starts falling apart in all hell

204
00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:14,400
Speaker 1: breaks lose, it's Nobody's fault or actually Trump's fault, depending

205
00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:16,720
Speaker 1: on which Democrat on which day. Remember they tried to

206
00:11:16,760 --> 00:11:19,400
Speaker 1: sell us on the idea of the Biden boom if

207
00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:21,840
Speaker 1: you read the New York Times in the first six

208
00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:24,840
Speaker 1: months of Joe Biden coming into office. Remember we were

209
00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:26,880
Speaker 1: up here in July of last year. It was going

210
00:11:26,920 --> 00:11:29,280
Speaker 1: to be a hot vack summer. Look At how incredible

211
00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:32,000
Speaker 1: Joe Biden is doing, getting the COVID shot rolled out.

212
00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:34,560
Speaker 1: Look At how the economy is booming. Look at the

213
00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:37,559
Speaker 1: stock market. As you pointed out, Biden now doesn't want

214
00:11:37,559 --> 00:11:39,320
Speaker 1: to talk much about the stock market, but he was

215
00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:42,160
Speaker 1: certainly bragging about what had happened in the stock market

216
00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:45,360
Speaker 1: in the early days of his administration. And now the

217
00:11:45,400 --> 00:11:48,840
Speaker 1: consequences of the disastrous policies they have put in place

218
00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:52,760
Speaker 1: have arrived, and suddenly that Biden boom talk has vanished.

219
00:11:52,760 --> 00:11:56,439
Speaker 1: And I really do legitimately believe that we are in

220
00:11:56,640 --> 00:11:59,280
Speaker 1: a recession right now. I think when we get the

221
00:11:59,320 --> 00:12:02,280
Speaker 1: second quarter GDP numbers. I believe they're going to be

222
00:12:02,320 --> 00:12:05,520
Speaker 1: negative and that will officially count as a recession. Now,

223
00:12:05,520 --> 00:12:07,680
Speaker 1: how long lasting is it going to be? Can we

224
00:12:07,760 --> 00:12:09,600
Speaker 1: come out of it in the third and fourth quarter

225
00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:12,600
Speaker 1: as we move through twenty twenty two? I don't know.

226
00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:14,720
Speaker 1: I do know voters are not going to have any

227
00:12:14,760 --> 00:12:16,560
Speaker 1: of that data because we're going to get the second

228
00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:19,280
Speaker 1: quarter GDP and people are going to look around and say,

229
00:12:19,480 --> 00:12:21,840
Speaker 1: holy crap, things are awful. We're in the middle of

230
00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:25,440
Speaker 1: a recession. I almost have more respect in a way

231
00:12:25,520 --> 00:12:29,079
Speaker 1: for John Kerry. The climates are than all the other

232
00:12:29,160 --> 00:12:33,960
Speaker 1: top White House economic advisors, spokespersons and the rest, because

233
00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:37,720
Speaker 1: at least John Kerry is like, look, peasants, gas is expensive,

234
00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:39,520
Speaker 1: but we've got a planet to save, you know, at

235
00:12:39,559 --> 00:12:42,280
Speaker 1: least he pretty much says it. The rest of them

236
00:12:42,280 --> 00:12:44,040
Speaker 1: all run around, Oh what do you mean we love

237
00:12:44,160 --> 00:12:46,640
Speaker 1: fossil fuel. It's like, oh, so you want the industry

238
00:12:46,640 --> 00:12:50,280
Speaker 1: to expand for the next five to ten years, and really,

239
00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:53,480
Speaker 1: would you like what really should be asked? Hey, listen,

240
00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:55,080
Speaker 1: Doucy over at Fox, this would be a great way

241
00:12:55,120 --> 00:12:57,200
Speaker 1: to throw out there if you could, buddy ask the

242
00:12:57,280 --> 00:13:01,040
Speaker 1: Biden regime. Would you like to see two years from

243
00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:04,920
Speaker 1: now a fifteen to twenty percent increase in fossil fuel

244
00:13:04,920 --> 00:13:07,280
Speaker 1: production to that's a great question. Whether that's even possible

245
00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:09,760
Speaker 1: or not is irrelevant, But would you would you theoretically

246
00:13:09,760 --> 00:13:12,680
Speaker 1: like to see that? They will, because anybody right now

247
00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:14,440
Speaker 1: it's like, oh my gosh, even that would be as

248
00:13:14,880 --> 00:13:17,480
Speaker 1: as we can possibly produce. They will not say it

249
00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:19,960
Speaker 1: or say, you know, when Biden's running for reelection, would

250
00:13:19,960 --> 00:13:22,760
Speaker 1: he feel good about a fifteen percent increase in domestic

251
00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:25,760
Speaker 1: fossil fuel production? Wouldn't that be a cool thing that

252
00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:27,959
Speaker 1: he want to run on? Will not say it. They

253
00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:30,080
Speaker 1: absolutely will not do it because they're frauds and they're

254
00:13:30,080 --> 00:13:32,400
Speaker 1: along to all of you. But you know that, folks,

255
00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:35,560
Speaker 1: Father's days coming up. We're excited because we've got some

256
00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:38,520
Speaker 1: Father's Day fun plan for you today. And I'm sure

257
00:13:38,559 --> 00:13:39,960
Speaker 1: a lot of you are like me. You probably have

258
00:13:40,040 --> 00:13:43,880
Speaker 1: a family text threat or family email chain, and you

259
00:13:43,920 --> 00:13:46,480
Speaker 1: can share videos and photos on that and it's great

260
00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:49,000
Speaker 1: because I'll find funny photos of my brothers from way

261
00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:50,880
Speaker 1: back in the day, send them to my parents and

262
00:13:50,920 --> 00:13:53,640
Speaker 1: we all have a laugh about it, or relive some

263
00:13:53,679 --> 00:13:57,640
Speaker 1: of those moments from our childhood. But that's only possible

264
00:13:57,640 --> 00:14:00,160
Speaker 1: because a Legacy Box. You see, Legacy Box took my

265
00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:03,120
Speaker 1: old photos, took my old family videos, and put them

266
00:14:03,160 --> 00:14:06,640
Speaker 1: into an easily shared digital format. So now I just

267
00:14:06,720 --> 00:14:08,400
Speaker 1: have them up in the cloud. I have them on

268
00:14:08,400 --> 00:14:09,880
Speaker 1: my phone. I've actually got a thumb drive with it

269
00:14:09,920 --> 00:14:13,600
Speaker 1: at home too, and I can share all of those photos,

270
00:14:13,679 --> 00:14:16,880
Speaker 1: videos with family members that used to be old fading,

271
00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:20,200
Speaker 1: actual photographs, videotapes. You probably have boxes of that stuff

272
00:14:20,280 --> 00:14:23,160
Speaker 1: right now. My parents have whole photo albums, but we've

273
00:14:23,160 --> 00:14:26,480
Speaker 1: digitized it. You need Legacy Box to help you with this.

274
00:14:26,640 --> 00:14:29,520
Speaker 1: You'll love it. It's such a great gift anytime, but

275
00:14:29,640 --> 00:14:32,440
Speaker 1: particularly for Father's Day. I'm telling you you are going

276
00:14:32,760 --> 00:14:36,200
Speaker 1: to love it. You send Legacy Box your videos, film reels,

277
00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:38,640
Speaker 1: anything else you want digitized. They just send you a box.

278
00:14:38,840 --> 00:14:40,920
Speaker 1: You put the stuff in the box, you send it

279
00:14:40,960 --> 00:14:43,560
Speaker 1: to them, and you'll get all of this so that

280
00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:45,200
Speaker 1: you can share it on your phone, share it in

281
00:14:45,240 --> 00:14:47,960
Speaker 1: the cloud. It's so easy to do. They've got two

282
00:14:48,080 --> 00:14:50,960
Speaker 1: hundred train technicians at Legacy Box at hand transfer your

283
00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:53,800

288
00:15:12,840 --> 00:15:17,880
Speaker 1: ed Clay Turravis Fuck Sexton Show. It's the fiftieth anniversary

289
00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:21,560
Speaker 1: roughly of Watergate to the beginning of the end of

290
00:15:21,560 --> 00:15:26,000
Speaker 1: the Richard Nixon presidency, and certainly everything that has occurred

291
00:15:26,520 --> 00:15:31,000
Speaker 1: in terms of political scandals gets a gate affixed to it.

292
00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:37,440
Speaker 1: It's become so commonplace. But Carl Bernstein this obsession with

293
00:15:37,640 --> 00:15:41,320
Speaker 1: trying to turn January sixth into the worst thing that

294
00:15:41,360 --> 00:15:45,560
Speaker 1: has ever happened in the history of the country. Karl

295
00:15:45,600 --> 00:15:51,080
Speaker 1: Bernstein says that January sixth was worse than the Civil War,

296
00:15:51,560 --> 00:15:55,400
Speaker 1: the secession that we saw from Jefferson Davis, who, when

297
00:15:55,560 --> 00:15:58,240
Speaker 1: he left to become the President of the Confederacy prior

298
00:15:58,280 --> 00:16:00,920
Speaker 1: to that, had been a senator from Mississippi. Listen to this.

299
00:16:01,160 --> 00:16:03,200
Speaker 1: We don't know what Merrick Garland is going to do,

300
00:16:03,240 --> 00:16:06,760
Speaker 1: and there is a tremendous weight on his shoulders because

301
00:16:06,800 --> 00:16:10,920
Speaker 1: this is worse than Watergate. The Justice Department now has

302
00:16:10,960 --> 00:16:14,640
Speaker 1: to make a decision because it's very clear that the President,

303
00:16:14,920 --> 00:16:19,160
Speaker 1: Donald Trump violated the law, no question, There's no question

304
00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:23,920
Speaker 1: about his seditious actions. The last sedition we had in

305
00:16:23,920 --> 00:16:27,040
Speaker 1: this country on any kind of scale was Jefferson Davis,

306
00:16:27,280 --> 00:16:33,080
Speaker 1: the president of the Confederacy. And Trump even outdid Jefferson Davis.

307
00:16:33,160 --> 00:16:37,320
Speaker 1: He committed the United States under him as the chief

308
00:16:37,480 --> 00:16:41,440
Speaker 1: officer of the United States government. He committed it to

309
00:16:41,680 --> 00:16:47,960
Speaker 1: trying to stage an illegal coup. Oh stop, did Jefferson

310
00:16:48,040 --> 00:16:51,680
Speaker 1: Davis outdid the head of the Confederacy. We have made

311
00:16:51,840 --> 00:16:54,480
Speaker 1: fun of the fact on this show that I am

312
00:16:54,480 --> 00:16:56,920
Speaker 1: a huge Civil War history buff. I even went to

313
00:16:57,000 --> 00:17:02,200
Speaker 1: Civil War sleepaway camp. January sixth. Is nothing like the

314
00:17:02,240 --> 00:17:06,640
Speaker 1: Civil War. And Jefferson Davis, who led the Confederacy as

315
00:17:06,760 --> 00:17:10,560
Speaker 1: the president of a country that was at war at

316
00:17:10,560 --> 00:17:14,639
Speaker 1: the time with the United States, is nothing like what

317
00:17:14,760 --> 00:17:17,960
Speaker 1: Donald Trump did. First of all, the continued attempt to

318
00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:21,520
Speaker 1: call this a coup is so outside the bounds of

319
00:17:21,640 --> 00:17:24,760
Speaker 1: reasonable discussion that it is an insult to anyone with

320
00:17:24,800 --> 00:17:27,600
Speaker 1: a functional brain that this would still be going on.

321
00:17:28,880 --> 00:17:31,600
Speaker 1: You know, it's Father's Day coming up, and I gave

322
00:17:31,720 --> 00:17:33,919
Speaker 1: my dad a gift quite a while ago that I

323
00:17:34,040 --> 00:17:36,080
Speaker 1: want all of you to try out too, because if

324
00:17:36,119 --> 00:17:39,760
Speaker 1: you have aches and pains, Relief Factor man, give yourself

325
00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:43,479
Speaker 1: the gift of getting out of that pain inflammation in

326
00:17:43,520 --> 00:17:45,639
Speaker 1: your joints. The kind of thing that folks like my

327
00:17:45,720 --> 00:17:47,600
Speaker 1: dad who plays a lot of golf deal with day

328
00:17:47,640 --> 00:17:50,320
Speaker 1: in and day out. You can try Relief Factor and

329
00:17:50,760 --> 00:17:54,720
Speaker 1: really have amazing results. Created by doctors and perfected over

330
00:17:54,760 --> 00:17:58,040
Speaker 1: fifteen years of scientific research, Relief Factor was made for

331
00:17:58,080 --> 00:18:00,640
Speaker 1: those suffering from pain. There's a result of aging or

332
00:18:00,640 --> 00:18:03,760
Speaker 1: over exertion. Are both want to be clear on this point.

333
00:18:03,960 --> 00:18:06,919
Speaker 1: Belief Factor is a great gift for Father's Day to

334

Speaker 1: help dad's nationwide and moms too. That's right, join them.

00:19:09,400 --> 00:19:12,800
Speaker 1: now joining us from I believe, the great state of Tennessee.

354
00:19:12,840 --> 00:19:16,440
Speaker 1: Although she may still be in Washington, DC. Senator Marsha Blackburn.

355
00:19:17,280 --> 00:19:21,080
Speaker 1: Senator Joe Biden's already left the White House for the day.

356
00:19:21,080 --> 00:19:23,040
Speaker 1: He's headed to his beach house. He didn't get in

357
00:19:23,160 --> 00:19:27,800
Speaker 1: till twelve thirty on Monday. But I was kind of thinking,

358
00:19:27,960 --> 00:19:30,000
Speaker 1: is it better for Joe Biden just not to be

359
00:19:30,040 --> 00:19:32,240
Speaker 1: in the White House at all? Since everything he seems

360
00:19:32,280 --> 00:19:36,320
Speaker 1: to be doing is such a disaster. Everything they are

361
00:19:36,359 --> 00:19:40,399
Speaker 1: doing makes the line of Tennesseeans and the American people worse.

362
00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:44,399
Speaker 1: And when I talk with people here in Tennessee, Clay

363
00:19:44,440 --> 00:19:47,480
Speaker 1: they are saying, you know, I voted for Joe Biden,

364
00:19:47,680 --> 00:19:50,879
Speaker 1: or I didn't support Joe Biden, but I thought he

365
00:19:50,920 --> 00:19:54,840
Speaker 1: would be a moderate. I didn't expect Bernie Sanders. And

366
00:19:55,200 --> 00:19:59,680
Speaker 1: they're just so frustrated because inflation, the prices, punser prices

367
00:19:59,680 --> 00:20:02,920
Speaker 1: a grow, restore the open border, drugs on the streets,

368
00:20:03,080 --> 00:20:06,560
Speaker 1: crime in the communities. The list goes on and on,

369
00:20:07,160 --> 00:20:09,760
Speaker 1: and they're really frustrated with what is coming out of

370
00:20:09,800 --> 00:20:13,720
Speaker 1: this administration. So maybe we just want to see Joe

371
00:20:13,760 --> 00:20:15,720
Speaker 1: go to the beach and stay there for the rest

372
00:20:15,800 --> 00:20:19,119
Speaker 1: of the summer and the Democrats not try to pass

373
00:20:19,280 --> 00:20:23,440
Speaker 1: one more bill because we're playing block and tackle every

374
00:20:23,440 --> 00:20:26,960
Speaker 1: single day. Center Blackburne's Buck, thanks for being with us.

375
00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:31,840
Speaker 1: The latest that we saw was on the bill that's

376
00:20:31,840 --> 00:20:36,760
Speaker 1: supposed to be be bipartisan on gun control gun restrictions, that

377
00:20:36,800 --> 00:20:40,440
Speaker 1: it's running into some problems now and may not actually

378
00:20:40,960 --> 00:20:44,480
Speaker 1: go through the Senate. Have you any insight into that.

379
00:20:44,600 --> 00:20:48,760
Speaker 1: You tell us more about that. Well, they have a framework,

380
00:20:49,080 --> 00:20:52,600
Speaker 1: they don't have legislative text, and there's a big difference.

381
00:20:52,960 --> 00:20:55,840
Speaker 1: And I'm one that has said, look, I will not

382
00:20:56,080 --> 00:20:59,879
Speaker 1: vote for anything that is going to infringe on anybody

383
00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:03,359
Speaker 1: Second Amendment rights. I am not going to vote for

384
00:21:03,440 --> 00:21:07,960
Speaker 1: anything that would give a platform that the federal government

385
00:21:08,119 --> 00:21:14,639
Speaker 1: could establish some kind of national gun registry. And do

386
00:21:14,720 --> 00:21:18,120
Speaker 1: we need to harden schools? Yes, four months I've been

387
00:21:18,160 --> 00:21:22,640
Speaker 1: recommending that we use the one hundred billion dollars left

388
00:21:22,680 --> 00:21:25,880
Speaker 1: over from COVID in the Elementary and Secondary Schools Fund

389
00:21:26,280 --> 00:21:31,760
Speaker 1: so that schools can apply technology harden those schools. Also,

390
00:21:31,880 --> 00:21:36,280
Speaker 1: for years, I have been recommending that we work with

391
00:21:36,440 --> 00:21:40,680
Speaker 1: retired law enforcement and veterans and deputize them so they

392
00:21:40,680 --> 00:21:45,479
Speaker 1: can take a shift and be the officer on duty

393
00:21:45,640 --> 00:21:50,679
Speaker 1: at every school, with schools having one one point of

394
00:21:50,920 --> 00:21:54,720
Speaker 1: entry into those schools. Those are common sense things that

395
00:21:54,840 --> 00:21:58,560
Speaker 1: could be done. But you know, when you leave it

396
00:21:58,600 --> 00:22:01,760
Speaker 1: to the left, they want to do that. They want

397
00:22:01,760 --> 00:22:04,959
Speaker 1: to have red flag laws that they are going to

398
00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:09,280
Speaker 1: say they can incent the states, but then it turns

399
00:22:09,320 --> 00:22:14,639
Speaker 1: out to being a mandate and its coercive behavior on

400
00:22:14,720 --> 00:22:17,520
Speaker 1: behalf of the federal government. So for me, that is

401
00:22:17,600 --> 00:22:20,960
Speaker 1: not something I'm going to support. Center Blackburn. You know this.

402
00:22:21,040 --> 00:22:24,120
Speaker 1: I mean, my kids live in Williamson County, just outside

403
00:22:24,119 --> 00:22:27,159
Speaker 1: of Nashville, and what you just referenced. They go to

404
00:22:27,200 --> 00:22:30,960
Speaker 1: public school. We have a security police officer there that

405
00:22:31,080 --> 00:22:35,000
Speaker 1: they love, Officer Show, who's been inside their school for years.

406
00:22:35,119 --> 00:22:37,880
Speaker 1: Kids all of her and they have one entry point.

407
00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:41,159
Speaker 1: And I don't understand why that's remotely controversial. I also

408
00:22:41,240 --> 00:22:45,239
Speaker 1: want to thank you this absurd wokeification that's going on

409
00:22:45,320 --> 00:22:48,960
Speaker 1: with our military, where we spend more time talking about

410
00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:52,280
Speaker 1: diversity and inclusion than we do kicking people's ass. And

411
00:22:52,400 --> 00:22:55,760
Speaker 1: you've got a policy in place that you're working on

412
00:22:56,200 --> 00:23:01,520
Speaker 1: to try to dewokeify our military. What would that intent? Yes,

413
00:23:01,720 --> 00:23:04,680
Speaker 1: I actually have two different bills. I had offered these

414
00:23:04,800 --> 00:23:11,320
Speaker 1: in our Defense Authorization Act markup that we had and Clay,

415
00:23:11,440 --> 00:23:15,600
Speaker 1: what this would do is, I think the military should

416
00:23:15,640 --> 00:23:20,320
Speaker 1: be focused on our adversaries and on fighting and winning wars.

417
00:23:20,480 --> 00:23:25,000
Speaker 1: We know that the new axis of evil is communist China, Russia,

418
00:23:25,040 --> 00:23:29,120
Speaker 1: Iron and North Korea. They don't give a rippen flip

419
00:23:29,560 --> 00:23:34,000
Speaker 1: about how woke the US military is, but the American

420
00:23:34,160 --> 00:23:39,439
Speaker 1: people care desperately about defeating our enemies and our adversaries.

421
00:23:39,840 --> 00:23:43,560
Speaker 1: That is what the focus of the military should be. Readiness, training,

422
00:23:44,119 --> 00:23:48,119
Speaker 1: preparation to fight and to win. And the second provision

423
00:23:48,240 --> 00:23:51,880
Speaker 1: that I have offered in and working on, is to

424
00:23:51,920 --> 00:23:56,480
Speaker 1: protect the children of military members when they are in

425
00:23:56,600 --> 00:24:01,000
Speaker 1: our DoD schools on military basis. It had come to

426
00:24:01,080 --> 00:24:04,000
Speaker 1: my attention that we had some teachers who were trying

427
00:24:04,040 --> 00:24:07,240
Speaker 1: to work with the student to hide the student wanting

428
00:24:07,280 --> 00:24:11,840
Speaker 1: to do gender fluidity or gender transition or have psychological care.

429
00:24:12,400 --> 00:24:15,440
Speaker 1: The parents do not need to be kept in the

430
00:24:15,560 --> 00:24:18,560
Speaker 1: dark on this, and we do not need teachers on

431
00:24:18,560 --> 00:24:22,120
Speaker 1: our military basis encouraging children not to talk to their

432
00:24:22,160 --> 00:24:25,600
Speaker 1: parents and to hide things from them. And I found

433
00:24:25,600 --> 00:24:28,440
Speaker 1: out through this process, if there was not a DoD policy,

434
00:24:28,520 --> 00:24:32,400
Speaker 1: that parents needed to have the right to be involved

435
00:24:32,400 --> 00:24:35,080
Speaker 1: in these decisions. So I tried to push that forward

436
00:24:35,119 --> 00:24:38,240
Speaker 1: and we're yet to get bipartisan agreement on that one.

437
00:24:38,840 --> 00:24:43,680
Speaker 1: Speaking of Senator Marsha Blackburne of Tennessee, Senator, if you

438
00:24:43,720 --> 00:24:46,679
Speaker 1: are in the majority come next year, which Clay and

439
00:24:46,760 --> 00:24:50,000
Speaker 1: I and certainly the audience are hoping is going to

440
00:24:50,040 --> 00:24:52,720
Speaker 1: be the case, what are some of the things that

441
00:24:52,840 --> 00:24:55,840
Speaker 1: you and your Senate colleagues in the Republic. Again, assuming

442
00:24:55,840 --> 00:24:59,040
Speaker 1: a Republican majority would plan to do, Biden would still

443
00:24:59,040 --> 00:25:01,840
Speaker 1: be president, so that create some roadblocks. But what would

444
00:25:01,880 --> 00:25:05,560
Speaker 1: you like to see happen. We need to get the

445
00:25:05,560 --> 00:25:08,960
Speaker 1: country on the right track. And starting with that are

446
00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:11,240
Speaker 1: two things we need to do. Address the cost of

447
00:25:11,359 --> 00:25:16,280
Speaker 1: the pump, which means restarting the Keystone Pipeline, opening up

448
00:25:16,320 --> 00:25:21,280
Speaker 1: Alaska offshore drilling, go back to fracking, and it's going

449
00:25:21,320 --> 00:25:24,200
Speaker 1: to mean that a Republican lighthouse and Senate is going

450
00:25:24,280 --> 00:25:27,080
Speaker 1: to have to take us up and push it forward

451
00:25:27,480 --> 00:25:31,159
Speaker 1: and to override Joe Biden and the leftist opinion on

452
00:25:31,200 --> 00:25:35,080
Speaker 1: this issue. The second thing is getting government spending under control.

453
00:25:35,160 --> 00:25:37,840
Speaker 1: And as y'all know, and as you've talked about, the

454
00:25:37,960 --> 00:25:42,400
Speaker 1: two things, inflation, the prices upon the grocery store and

455
00:25:42,720 --> 00:25:45,600
Speaker 1: government spending have been the two drivers on this out

456
00:25:45,640 --> 00:25:48,760
Speaker 1: of control inflation rates that we're seeing. So we need

457
00:25:48,800 --> 00:25:52,080
Speaker 1: to freeze government spending. We need to freeze government hiring.

458
00:25:52,240 --> 00:25:58,280
Speaker 1: We need to freeze escalation rates in salaries of government employees.

459
00:25:58,880 --> 00:26:04,080
Speaker 1: And then to require a supermajority to pass any spending

460
00:26:04,160 --> 00:26:08,960
Speaker 1: bill during times of high inflation. And that is legislation

461
00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:11,359
Speaker 1: I've had now this is the second year I've had it.

462
00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:15,639
Speaker 1: When inflation is high, we ought not to have these

463
00:26:15,680 --> 00:26:18,840
Speaker 1: bills flying through Congress. Just look at what the Biden

464
00:26:18,920 --> 00:26:22,000
Speaker 1: administration has done. You've got six point eight trillion that

465
00:26:22,080 --> 00:26:26,120
Speaker 1: was spent on COVID, and then you had another two

466
00:26:26,200 --> 00:26:29,680
Speaker 1: trillions and one point nine trillion in infrastructure, and now

467
00:26:29,760 --> 00:26:33,760
Speaker 1: for his billback Brokagen to Biden, watch another two trillion

468
00:26:33,800 --> 00:26:38,320
Speaker 1: dollars in the economists saying stop spending government money. So

469
00:26:38,640 --> 00:26:41,920
Speaker 1: let's be smart about this, let's stop it, Sender Blackburn.

470
00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:46,320
Speaker 1: You also have gone aggressively after the threats that have

471
00:26:46,400 --> 00:26:50,480
Speaker 1: been put forward against Supreme Court justices. The left wants

472
00:26:50,480 --> 00:26:53,000
Speaker 1: to pretend that a crazy lunatic didn't show up at

473
00:26:53,040 --> 00:26:56,879
Speaker 1: Justice Kavanaugh's house trying to assassinate him. It took forever

474
00:26:56,960 --> 00:26:59,760
Speaker 1: for the House to actually pass a bill to provide protection.

475
00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:03,879
Speaker 1: The Senate acted much faster on that. But to your point,

476
00:27:04,440 --> 00:27:07,920
Speaker 1: what in the world is going on with this lack

477
00:27:07,960 --> 00:27:11,880
Speaker 1: of protection for Supreme Court justices? What should happen in

478
00:27:11,920 --> 00:27:14,359
Speaker 1: your mind? I know you've been pretty outspoken and active

479
00:27:14,359 --> 00:27:19,080
Speaker 1: about this. When it comes to our justices and their families,

480
00:27:19,400 --> 00:27:22,080
Speaker 1: they need to have round the clock protection. That is

481
00:27:22,080 --> 00:27:24,040
Speaker 1: the bill we moved out of the Senate, and then

482
00:27:24,080 --> 00:27:29,239
Speaker 1: Pelosi sat on it for a month, and then you

483
00:27:29,400 --> 00:27:33,600
Speaker 1: had the squad and the leftists in the House vote

484
00:27:33,720 --> 00:27:37,640
Speaker 1: against it, but they are in mind, every lasting one

485
00:27:37,680 --> 00:27:40,640
Speaker 1: of them. Every one of them voted for extra protection

486
00:27:40,760 --> 00:27:44,960
Speaker 1: for themselves after January sixth, So they want to protect themselves,

487
00:27:44,960 --> 00:27:47,720
Speaker 1: but they don't want to protect the justices and the

488
00:27:47,800 --> 00:27:51,720
Speaker 1: justices families. The other thing is these protesters that are

489
00:27:51,760 --> 00:27:56,240
Speaker 1: out in front disturbing the peace, messing up the neighborhoods

490
00:27:56,240 --> 00:27:59,080
Speaker 1: where these justices live or where they go to church.

491
00:27:59,520 --> 00:28:02,280
Speaker 1: They be marched down the city hall and they should

492
00:28:02,400 --> 00:28:08,639
Speaker 1: be booked on violation of eighteen USC. One five h seven,

493
00:28:09,240 --> 00:28:14,800
Speaker 1: because it is illegal to go out and protest at

494
00:28:14,800 --> 00:28:18,639
Speaker 1: a judge's home and try to influence a seederal judge

495
00:28:18,720 --> 00:28:23,320
Speaker 1: on the outcome of a decision. It is an illegal act.

496
00:28:23,720 --> 00:28:27,520
Speaker 1: So I think that DJ and FBI need to get

497
00:28:27,560 --> 00:28:30,480
Speaker 1: out here and they need to do their job, and

498
00:28:30,880 --> 00:28:34,040
Speaker 1: they need to make certain that they are very carefully

499
00:28:34,400 --> 00:28:40,080
Speaker 1: what is happening with these protests in these communities, because

500
00:28:40,400 --> 00:28:43,440
Speaker 1: many of these protesters, in these groups that are sponsoring

501
00:28:43,480 --> 00:28:46,480
Speaker 1: the protest is y'all know, they have been saying, you're

502
00:28:46,520 --> 00:28:49,400
Speaker 1: going to have a summer of rage if we don't

503
00:28:49,480 --> 00:28:53,320
Speaker 1: get the opinion we want from the Supreme Court. That

504
00:28:53,960 --> 00:28:57,440
Speaker 1: is illegal. Chuck Schumer ought to go out here and

505
00:28:57,480 --> 00:29:00,920
Speaker 1: he ought to apologize to Gorstchenco and offer calling him

506
00:29:00,960 --> 00:29:03,400
Speaker 1: out on the steps of the Supreme Court some months

507
00:29:03,400 --> 00:29:08,680
Speaker 1: ago and saying you have unleashed the whirlwind. That is inappropriate.

508
00:29:09,080 --> 00:29:13,080
Speaker 1: He should be out there apologizing. We need to protect

509
00:29:13,080 --> 00:29:16,680
Speaker 1: the court. We need to protect the justices on the court.

510
00:29:17,000 --> 00:29:20,720
Speaker 1: Senator Marshall Blackburn of Tennessee Senator always appreciate you coming by.

511
00:29:21,600 --> 00:29:23,880
Speaker 1: You got it take care of by by him. Mike

535
00:30:45,200 --> 00:30:47,480
Speaker 1: with us. We're about to be joined by Buck's dad.

536
00:30:47,760 --> 00:30:50,560
Speaker 1: It is Father's Day weekend. I hope all the dad's

537
00:30:50,600 --> 00:30:55,120
Speaker 1: out there are having a fantastic early start to your weekend.

538
00:30:55,160 --> 00:30:57,880
Speaker 1: I've got three boys of my own. I cannot wait

539
00:30:57,920 --> 00:31:01,600
Speaker 1: to hang out with them the course of this weekend.

540
00:31:01,720 --> 00:31:05,280
Speaker 1: My dad was scheduled to be on with us, but

541
00:31:05,520 --> 00:31:08,000
Speaker 1: yesterday I just want to kind of fill you guys

542
00:31:08,040 --> 00:31:11,520
Speaker 1: in Yesterday, near the end of the show, I got

543
00:31:11,560 --> 00:31:17,320
Speaker 1: some awful news. My first cousin, Steve Travis, he's sixty

544
00:31:17,360 --> 00:31:23,440
Speaker 1: two years old, died unexpectedly yesterday. It's my dad's nephew.

545
00:31:23,600 --> 00:31:26,960
Speaker 1: He is incredibly broken up about it. He didn't feel

546
00:31:27,000 --> 00:31:29,240
Speaker 1: like he could come on and talk about Father's Day

547
00:31:29,280 --> 00:31:31,200
Speaker 1: because of this death we just had in the family.

548
00:31:31,760 --> 00:31:33,800
Speaker 1: But I just wanted to tell you a little bit

549
00:31:33,800 --> 00:31:36,920
Speaker 1: about Steve here as we roll in. He's a father himself.

550
00:31:37,720 --> 00:31:42,760
Speaker 1: His daughter Jennifer, is absolutely fantastic, and he is a

551
00:31:42,960 --> 00:31:47,560
Speaker 1: thirty plus year listener of the Russian Limboss show. He

552
00:31:47,840 --> 00:31:53,160
Speaker 1: was a huge fan of Rush and when I got

553
00:31:53,200 --> 00:31:56,040
Speaker 1: the offer from Julie Talbot, who was Bucking Eyes Boss,

554
00:31:56,080 --> 00:31:59,280
Speaker 1: and she's fantastic to come and be able to take

555
00:31:59,320 --> 00:32:02,240
Speaker 1: over this show, I only called a couple of people

556
00:32:02,280 --> 00:32:04,840
Speaker 1: to ask them about it, and Steve was one of

557
00:32:04,880 --> 00:32:08,360
Speaker 1: them because he was such a diehard Rushed Limbaugh fan.

558
00:32:09,160 --> 00:32:13,120
Speaker 1: And it's been really fun the last year because he

559
00:32:13,240 --> 00:32:16,920
Speaker 1: listened every day and he would text during segments and

560
00:32:16,960 --> 00:32:20,160
Speaker 1: share his opinions and thoughts as someone who had been

561
00:32:20,200 --> 00:32:23,560
Speaker 1: listening to this show for a really long time. And

562
00:32:23,680 --> 00:32:27,800
Speaker 1: yesterday he had been in perfect health. He was outside

563
00:32:27,920 --> 00:32:30,920
Speaker 1: early in the morning working in his yard. Like I said,

564
00:32:31,000 --> 00:32:33,719
Speaker 1: sixty two years old, had just recently been to the doctor,

565
00:32:34,200 --> 00:32:37,040
Speaker 1: gotten a clean bill of health, and he just collapsed

566
00:32:37,040 --> 00:32:40,960
Speaker 1: and died. And so my family is still stunned. We'd

567
00:32:41,160 --> 00:32:44,240
Speaker 1: asked for your prayer, certainly for Steve's close family, his

568
00:32:44,320 --> 00:32:49,400
Speaker 1: daughter and his wife, but my dad, who is again

569
00:32:49,400 --> 00:32:52,400
Speaker 1: it's his nephew and they kind of grew up together.

570
00:32:52,480 --> 00:32:54,480
Speaker 1: He was just so broken up over this that he

571
00:32:54,520 --> 00:32:57,320
Speaker 1: didn't think he could come on and talk about Father's Day.

572
00:32:57,360 --> 00:33:00,520
Speaker 1: So what I would just say to everybody out there is,

573
00:33:01,760 --> 00:33:04,920
Speaker 1: you know, if you've got a dad, hug him grandpa.

574
00:33:05,440 --> 00:33:10,520
Speaker 1: If sometimes you know, families don't get along, none of

575
00:33:10,600 --> 00:33:17,520
Speaker 1: us are guaranteed anything at all, right, And so I

576
00:33:17,560 --> 00:33:20,800
Speaker 1: would just say, you know, as all of us are

577
00:33:20,840 --> 00:33:24,440
Speaker 1: celebrating Father's Day, I know Mother's Day just happened. If

578
00:33:24,440 --> 00:33:26,680
Speaker 1: you got people in your family that you care about,

579
00:33:27,320 --> 00:33:31,960
Speaker 1: don't ever neglect telling them how much you care. And

580
00:33:32,120 --> 00:33:35,520
Speaker 1: I know that things can be controversial and difficult on

581
00:33:35,560 --> 00:33:38,240
Speaker 1: a day to day basis. Certainly no family is perfect,

582
00:33:39,240 --> 00:33:42,200
Speaker 1: but I do think on times like these and everybody

583
00:33:42,200 --> 00:33:45,560
Speaker 1: has unexpected awful things that happen in their family that

584
00:33:45,640 --> 00:33:49,160
Speaker 1: none of us can control. But I do think that

585
00:33:49,600 --> 00:33:51,480
Speaker 1: I would just want to say to everybody out there,

586
00:33:51,520 --> 00:33:54,640
Speaker 1: First of all, you know, Steve was an incredible long

587
00:33:54,720 --> 00:33:58,560
Speaker 1: time Russian Limbaugh listener, and I am honored to have

588
00:33:58,680 --> 00:34:02,560
Speaker 1: known him, and and he is one of you to

589
00:34:02,800 --> 00:34:04,920
Speaker 1: his core and to his soul, and he's a big

590
00:34:04,960 --> 00:34:07,400
Speaker 1: reason why you're listening to me talk on this show

591
00:34:07,480 --> 00:34:12,000
Speaker 1: right now. And for everybody out there who is who

592
00:34:12,080 --> 00:34:15,840
Speaker 1: is certainly getting ready for Father's Day, just take the

593
00:34:15,880 --> 00:34:17,560
Speaker 1: time to tell the people in your life that you

594
00:34:17,680 --> 00:34:21,319
Speaker 1: love them, because none of us are guaranteed any day,

595
00:34:21,480 --> 00:34:24,719
Speaker 1: any hour, and things can happen at any point. We're

596
00:34:24,760 --> 00:34:26,920
Speaker 1: going to be joined by Buck's dad, who is phenomenal.

597
00:34:26,960 --> 00:34:29,200
Speaker 1: I don't want to make the whole show, certainly any

598
00:34:29,239 --> 00:34:30,480
Speaker 1: kind of down, or we're gonna have a lot of

599
00:34:30,480 --> 00:34:33,239
Speaker 1: fun to close out this Friday edition. But I just

600
00:34:33,320 --> 00:34:35,600
Speaker 1: wanted to mention why my own dad was not going

601
00:34:35,640 --> 00:34:37,160
Speaker 1: to be on. He didn't think he could make it

602
00:34:37,239 --> 00:34:40,080
Speaker 1: through segments talking about Father's Day after what happened yesterday

603
00:34:40,120 --> 00:34:44,000
Speaker 1: in our family. So Buck, look, you know this, and

604
00:34:44,360 --> 00:34:48,040
Speaker 1: everybody else out there knows. You never know when something

605
00:34:48,080 --> 00:34:51,239
Speaker 1: tragic might happen in your life, and so we love

606
00:34:51,320 --> 00:34:53,919
Speaker 1: spending time with all of you. We know that your

607
00:34:53,960 --> 00:34:56,719
Speaker 1: families are incredibly important. And I would just say, as

608
00:34:56,719 --> 00:34:59,080
Speaker 1: we head into the final thirty minutes of the show

609
00:34:59,400 --> 00:35:02,640
Speaker 1: Father's Day weekend, if you get the opportunity, got a

610
00:35:02,680 --> 00:35:04,360
Speaker 1: loved one out there, maybe haven't talked to him in

611
00:35:04,360 --> 00:35:06,920
Speaker 1: a while, take the opportunity to reach out and uh,

612
00:35:07,160 --> 00:35:10,080
Speaker 1: and try to make sure that you don't take anything

613
00:35:10,160 --> 00:35:12,560
Speaker 1: for granted when it comes to the important relationships in

614
00:35:12,600 --> 00:35:16,040
Speaker 1: your life, your family, your friends, everything else. A lot

615
00:35:16,080 --> 00:35:18,960
Speaker 1: of thoughts and prayers for you and yours, Clay, and uh,

616
00:35:19,000 --> 00:35:20,960
Speaker 1: we will obviously have to have your dad on on

676
00:38:25,600 --> 00:38:28,960
Speaker 1: we love being together. Um. There was actually a question

677
00:38:29,040 --> 00:38:32,880
Speaker 1: here that was sent in from a caller asking about

678
00:38:32,920 --> 00:38:36,319
Speaker 1: what get into all that. I understand, but I you

679
00:38:36,360 --> 00:38:38,480
Speaker 1: know it don't mean to preempted, but to say that

680
00:38:39,040 --> 00:38:41,440
Speaker 1: asking what did I like to do with you? Buck?

681
00:38:41,480 --> 00:38:44,319
Speaker 1: And and really, you know what, our favorite thing is

682
00:38:44,320 --> 00:38:46,799
Speaker 1: just to hang out. We have a big terrace in

683
00:38:46,840 --> 00:38:49,520
Speaker 1: our apartment fortunately, and and and we love just to

684
00:38:49,560 --> 00:38:52,919
Speaker 1: hang out together, have dinner together, yep, and and talk

685
00:38:53,680 --> 00:38:57,279
Speaker 1: you know, politics going in people's lives, and and that's it.

686
00:38:57,400 --> 00:38:59,600
Speaker 1: We just we love being together. That's pretty much it.

687
00:39:00,000 --> 00:39:02,360
Speaker 1: Age I'm curious because I've got a fourteen and eleven

688
00:39:02,360 --> 00:39:04,880
Speaker 1: and a seven year old. I've got three boys. You

689
00:39:04,960 --> 00:39:07,920
Speaker 1: now are grandfather as well, so congratulations on that. But

690
00:39:08,200 --> 00:39:11,360
Speaker 1: as a dad, what ages did you like Buck and

691
00:39:11,400 --> 00:39:14,200
Speaker 1: his brothers and his sister? What age range did you

692
00:39:14,239 --> 00:39:16,120
Speaker 1: find to be the most fun as a parent? Was

693
00:39:16,160 --> 00:39:19,880
Speaker 1: there one era that stands out? Boy, that's an interesting question.

694
00:39:20,080 --> 00:39:24,200
Speaker 1: I think it was different for each child. You know,

695
00:39:25,480 --> 00:39:29,080
Speaker 1: be honest with you, You know it all. It all

696
00:39:29,080 --> 00:39:34,880
Speaker 1: passes so quickly, and I don't remember a bad time.

697
00:39:35,760 --> 00:39:38,520
Speaker 1: It all seems like it was all, you know, pretty special,

698
00:39:38,560 --> 00:39:43,000
Speaker 1: and I felt really blessed to have such outstanding children.

699
00:39:43,600 --> 00:39:46,960
Speaker 1: That's that's really the truth. So we got some VIP emails.

700
00:39:46,960 --> 00:39:49,560
Speaker 1: We've also got some calls, Dad from people that want

701
00:39:49,600 --> 00:39:52,200
Speaker 1: to speak to you. And again, we were gonna have

702
00:39:52,239 --> 00:39:55,360
Speaker 1: Clay's dad, but we're have Clay's dad. On a future show,

703
00:39:56,239 --> 00:40:00,080
Speaker 1: Alfie in New York City said, Buck and Clay display

704
00:40:00,160 --> 00:40:03,040
Speaker 1: real leadership qualities. I love that. Our team. Yeah, look,

705
00:40:03,360 --> 00:40:06,440
Speaker 1: everybody's fantastic, how everybody loves us, But Bucket Clay display

706
00:40:06,480 --> 00:40:09,120
Speaker 1: real leadership qualities. I'm wondering if they were naturally liked

707
00:40:09,120 --> 00:40:12,560
Speaker 1: that as kids, for example, were the class president, heads

708
00:40:12,560 --> 00:40:14,840
Speaker 1: of any clubs at school, capital of a sports team,

709
00:40:14,920 --> 00:40:16,879
Speaker 1: or in the cub Scouts of Clay we just said,

710
00:40:17,400 --> 00:40:19,360
Speaker 1: were you president, I was your president of the school.

711
00:40:19,480 --> 00:40:21,840
Speaker 1: You are too right. We were both presidents of the

712
00:40:21,840 --> 00:40:25,160
Speaker 1: student body at our respective schools. So I guess that's

713
00:40:25,160 --> 00:40:27,440
Speaker 1: a good sign. Yeah, I mean I think that, you know,

714
00:40:27,760 --> 00:40:32,880
Speaker 1: to some degree, says at all buck you know started out.

715
00:40:32,920 --> 00:40:36,799
Speaker 1: I think he's told the story of his speech impediment

716
00:40:36,880 --> 00:40:40,840
Speaker 1: and how that you know, held him back in early school,

717
00:40:41,360 --> 00:40:44,080
Speaker 1: first and second grade, and then he he got you know,

718
00:40:44,200 --> 00:40:47,040
Speaker 1: we got him to a speech pathologist who really helped

719
00:40:47,120 --> 00:40:48,799
Speaker 1: him and buy the third or fourth grade, he was

720
00:40:48,800 --> 00:40:52,879
Speaker 1: the top student in his class. And from then on,

721
00:40:53,080 --> 00:40:55,719
Speaker 1: you know, he really was, you know, sort of a

722
00:40:55,840 --> 00:41:00,319
Speaker 1: leader of his peer group going forward from then on,

723
00:41:00,360 --> 00:41:03,840
Speaker 1: I mean, right through high school. Uh to a lesser

724
00:41:03,880 --> 00:41:10,719
Speaker 1: degree in college. Only because uh, perhaps of the political

725
00:41:10,840 --> 00:41:13,480
Speaker 1: vagaries of her knows he knows that, you know, I

726
00:41:13,520 --> 00:41:16,719
Speaker 1: got I got picketed. Dad knows this story. For a

727
00:41:16,880 --> 00:41:22,080
Speaker 1: Sanco de Mayo party, I mean there was actual yeah, yeah,

728
00:41:22,160 --> 00:41:24,759
Speaker 1: and and it was everyone just came down on the

729
00:41:24,800 --> 00:41:27,000
Speaker 1: Buckster because like I like to throw a party and

730
00:41:27,080 --> 00:41:28,719
Speaker 1: have a good time calling my mom and dad. I'm

731
00:41:28,719 --> 00:41:30,960
Speaker 1: like everyone's coming down on me. The good news was

732
00:41:30,960 --> 00:41:33,359
Speaker 1: that there was so there was a flyer that was made,

733
00:41:33,680 --> 00:41:37,279
Speaker 1: and the flyer was considered offensive defensive, and there was

734
00:41:37,320 --> 00:41:40,319
Speaker 1: a lot of cultural appropriation going on. I was just

735
00:41:40,480 --> 00:41:46,360
Speaker 1: in charge of booze procuring. I was not involved tequila

736
00:41:46,480 --> 00:41:48,920
Speaker 1: and and fortunately the the young woman who was my

737
00:41:49,000 --> 00:41:52,719
Speaker 1: classmate who made the offensive flyer was a female from

738
00:41:52,719 --> 00:41:56,000
Speaker 1: South Asia, and therefore they were far less inclined to

739
00:41:56,080 --> 00:41:58,160
Speaker 1: kick her out of school than a white guy. I

740
00:41:58,200 --> 00:42:00,799
Speaker 1: had to have meetings with all the diversity unselers. I

741
00:42:00,920 --> 00:42:03,320
Speaker 1: had threats of picketing. They said they were going to

742
00:42:03,400 --> 00:42:05,480
Speaker 1: call the police on us for the school said they

743
00:42:05,480 --> 00:42:08,400
Speaker 1: would call actual police on us for underage drinking. And

744
00:42:08,440 --> 00:42:10,319
Speaker 1: so we had to just like beg forgiveness and drink

745
00:42:10,400 --> 00:42:13,560
Speaker 1: ar tequila behind closed doors. That is an amazing story.

746
00:42:13,680 --> 00:42:15,680
Speaker 1: By the next one, by the way, Yeah, Gabby and

752
00:42:35,080 --> 00:42:38,640
Speaker 1: this is Gabby and Beacon, New York. I'm reading directly.

00:42:38,680 --> 00:42:44,920
Speaker 1: This is her question, not mine. Were Gabby anyway, Uh No,

754

00:42:54,400 --> 00:42:56,439
Speaker 1: it was quite an experience, I'll be honest with you.

758
00:42:57,000 --> 00:42:58,759
Speaker 1: For a lot of reasons, I don't want to go

759
00:42:58,760 --> 00:43:02,120
Speaker 1: on a huge tangent, but basically, they're about of of

760
00:43:02,160 --> 00:43:05,120
Speaker 1: my class of seventy five that started in the class

761
00:43:05,120 --> 00:43:10,080
Speaker 1: of nineteen seventy two, twenty percent of past and that's

762
00:43:10,080 --> 00:43:16,440
Speaker 1: a very sobering reality. And then of the remaining sixty

763
00:43:16,520 --> 00:43:19,719
Speaker 1: or so in that are still alive, about twenty one

764
00:43:19,840 --> 00:43:22,640
Speaker 1: or twenty two showed up for the reunion with their

765
00:43:22,680 --> 00:43:26,839
Speaker 1: significant others, wives and so on. And it was in

766
00:43:26,920 --> 00:43:29,880
Speaker 1: many ways the best reunion by far, because all the

767
00:43:29,880 --> 00:43:32,759
Speaker 1: competition that you usually you know when you show up

768
00:43:32,760 --> 00:43:37,400
Speaker 1: at your tenth or your twentieth, those that was all gone.

769
00:43:37,600 --> 00:43:40,800
Speaker 1: It's all about you know, your health, your grandchildren, your family,

770
00:43:41,400 --> 00:43:46,480
Speaker 1: and there was a real sense of camaraderie and love

771
00:43:46,640 --> 00:43:50,560
Speaker 1: and special you know, affection within the group. And I

772
00:43:50,600 --> 00:43:54,600
Speaker 1: thought that was that was really something I didn't really anticipate,

773
00:43:54,680 --> 00:43:58,640
Speaker 1: but I found, you know, really really rewards. Remember how

774
00:43:58,719 --> 00:44:00,960
Speaker 1: much at Harvard Business School costs when you went there, Well,

775
00:44:00,960 --> 00:44:03,680
Speaker 1: it's funny because when I started, it was thirty five

776
00:44:03,800 --> 00:44:08,880
Speaker 1: hundred dollars. Yeah, I think that's right. But the funny

777
00:44:08,920 --> 00:44:13,960
Speaker 1: part about it was that there was actually a protest

778
00:44:14,600 --> 00:44:18,920
Speaker 1: with signs and you know everything else. Uh, when they

779
00:44:19,000 --> 00:44:22,040
Speaker 1: raised a tuition to five thousand dollars of my second year,

780
00:44:22,680 --> 00:44:28,160
Speaker 1: so you can imagine Harvard Business School students protesting, And

781
00:44:28,200 --> 00:44:30,920
Speaker 1: we were just speaking about the campus radicalism thing that

782
00:44:31,000 --> 00:44:32,720
Speaker 1: I you know that I doubt, which was just people.

783
00:44:32,760 --> 00:44:35,000
Speaker 1: It was like the movie PCU for our listeners, which

784
00:44:35,160 --> 00:44:38,279
Speaker 1: if you have not seen, you absolutely would have fun watching.

785
00:44:38,320 --> 00:44:41,000
Speaker 1: You guys have all seen PCU, right politically correct university.

786
00:44:41,000 --> 00:44:45,759
Speaker 1: You haven't unacceptable. It's even more timely, I would say

787
00:44:45,800 --> 00:44:48,200
Speaker 1: now than ever. It was that you were at Columbia

788
00:44:48,520 --> 00:44:52,839
Speaker 1: when the students seized the buildings, broke right, T tell

789
00:44:52,880 --> 00:44:55,759
Speaker 1: us about this was crazy? Well, again, I was. I

790
00:44:55,800 --> 00:44:59,239
Speaker 1: graduated from Columbia nineteen sixty nine. But in nineteen sixty eight,

791
00:44:59,320 --> 00:45:03,520
Speaker 1: my junior year, the students for a Democratic Society, a

792
00:45:03,640 --> 00:45:07,560
Speaker 1: young man named Mark Rudd, some of you remember, literally

793
00:45:07,560 --> 00:45:12,959
Speaker 1: shut the university down completely and radicalized you know, all

794
00:45:13,080 --> 00:45:17,720
Speaker 1: the students that remained on campus. And they were really

795
00:45:17,800 --> 00:45:21,640
Speaker 1: far left radicals. I mean in the mathematics building, you know,

796
00:45:21,680 --> 00:45:25,320
Speaker 1: you had you know, real Marxists. I wanted to I

797
00:45:25,360 --> 00:45:29,160
Speaker 1: wanted to literally burn the university down. So after about

798
00:45:29,160 --> 00:45:32,480
Speaker 1: two weeks of shutting down the university, finally I think

799
00:45:32,480 --> 00:45:35,279
Speaker 1: it was Grayson Kirk, who was the president, called in

800
00:45:35,320 --> 00:45:41,120
Speaker 1: the New York Police Department, and that was an incredible experience.

801
00:45:41,680 --> 00:45:45,279
Speaker 1: I happened to work at the time for Whitney north

802
00:45:45,320 --> 00:45:51,840
Speaker 1: Seymour Junior, who was became the Southern District Attorney. And anyway,

803
00:45:52,719 --> 00:45:56,239
Speaker 1: real real quickly, I got word that the police were

804
00:45:56,280 --> 00:46:00,359
Speaker 1: coming in at two a m. That night, and so

805
00:46:00,480 --> 00:46:03,880
Speaker 1: I had a friend who had an apartment on the

806
00:46:03,920 --> 00:46:07,160
Speaker 1: fourth floor at one hundred and sixteenth Street and Amsterdam,

807
00:46:07,280 --> 00:46:11,480
Speaker 1: so I could watch the main gate and these that

808
00:46:11,640 --> 00:46:14,239
Speaker 1: they call them the Tactical Police Force. They're all on

809
00:46:14,280 --> 00:46:17,640
Speaker 1: these big horses and they're all, you know, got helm

810
00:46:17,719 --> 00:46:20,839
Speaker 1: Ris here right, the whole thing. Anyway, it was, it

811
00:46:20,880 --> 00:46:25,000
Speaker 1: was a real war. Three people died during that. Oh wow,

812
00:46:26,160 --> 00:46:28,480
Speaker 1: you saw actual violence from the comedy of the batons

813
00:46:28,520 --> 00:46:30,520
Speaker 1: the whole thing. Oh yeah, No. I saw somebody jump

814
00:46:31,120 --> 00:46:34,400
Speaker 1: from one of the buildings onto the back of a policeman,

815
00:46:34,719 --> 00:46:37,880
Speaker 1: broke his back and he subsequently died in the hospital.

816
00:46:38,040 --> 00:46:41,919
Speaker 1: So does nineteen sixty eight, by the way, remind you

817
00:46:42,680 --> 00:46:45,600
Speaker 1: now the world that we're in now, does that does

818
00:46:45,640 --> 00:46:49,480
Speaker 1: that congruency historically resonate for you? Or are they totally

819
00:46:49,600 --> 00:46:54,040
Speaker 1: different in your mind? Well, I think they're certainly parallels. Um.

820
00:46:54,880 --> 00:46:59,840
Speaker 1: You know, clearly we have a very far left radical

821
00:47:00,840 --> 00:47:06,239
Speaker 1: Democratic Party now that is prone to violence and is

822
00:47:06,600 --> 00:47:11,160
Speaker 1: using you know, obviously Antifa and these other sort of

823
00:47:12,320 --> 00:47:18,520
Speaker 1: you know, auxiliary movements to enforce whatever ideas they're trying

824
00:47:18,520 --> 00:47:23,080
Speaker 1: to enforce and intimidate people. Um so yeah, I look,

825
00:47:23,120 --> 00:47:27,160
Speaker 1: I what what people don't understand is how close we

826
00:47:27,239 --> 00:47:32,080
Speaker 1: are always to civil unrest. You know, it doesn't take much,

827
00:47:32,600 --> 00:47:35,120
Speaker 1: you know, a crowd of two or three hundred people

828
00:47:35,840 --> 00:47:38,800
Speaker 1: that is willing to go to jail or will willing

829
00:47:38,840 --> 00:47:44,120
Speaker 1: to you know, break and burn can be a formidable force. See,

830
00:47:44,160 --> 00:47:45,960
Speaker 1: we got, we got, we got anti communists here in

831
00:47:45,960 --> 00:47:47,840
Speaker 1: New York City, Clais, We're gonna we're gonna bring you

832
00:47:47,880 --> 00:47:49,520
Speaker 1: back to close it out and honor a father's day.

833
00:47:49,520 --> 00:47:51,120
Speaker 1: And I want to ask you a question here in

834
00:47:51,120 --> 00:47:54,080
Speaker 1: a minute when we come back now that you're a grandfather.

835
00:47:54,600 --> 00:47:57,040
Speaker 1: Is being a grandfather? I know it's Father's Day coming up.

Speaker 1: I'll let you answer when we come back out of

837
00:47:59,040 --> 00:48:01,960
Speaker 1: this next break, But it's being a grandfather more fun

838
00:48:02,080 --> 00:48:05,080
Speaker 1: than being a father? Think about it. We'll get your answer.

839
00:48:05,120 --> 00:48:06,200
Speaker 1: I know there's a lot of people out there that

840
00:48:06,239 --> 00:48:09,000
Speaker 1: have gotten to experience both. And I'm curious the difference.

841
00:48:09,560 --> 00:48:11,719

00:48:17,360 --> 00:48:19,960
Speaker 1: twenty percent last year across the country. That's at least

845
00:48:19,960 --> 00:48:23,719
Speaker 1: the nationwide average. And right now as mortgage rates are

846
00:48:23,800 --> 00:48:26,040

Speaker 1: save money if you go out to the right gas

848

Speaker 1: station or go shop for cheaper groceries. But how many

849
00:48:31,760 --> 00:48:34,120

862
00:49:17,040 --> 00:49:21,200
Speaker 1: Speed Sexton a very cool name. I was, in fact

863
00:49:21,239 --> 00:49:24,399
Speaker 1: with him in a car when maybe we were going

864
00:49:24,440 --> 00:49:27,120
Speaker 1: a little fast and the police officer pulled them over

865
00:49:27,160 --> 00:49:30,720
Speaker 1: and said, your literally your middle name is literally speed.

866
00:49:31,160 --> 00:49:32,560
Speaker 1: He thought that was funny. I don't know if we

867
00:49:32,600 --> 00:49:34,200
Speaker 1: got a warning or a ticket. I was a kid,

868
00:49:34,239 --> 00:49:37,279
Speaker 1: but that did actually happen. Um, dad, we got we

869
00:49:37,360 --> 00:49:39,400
Speaker 1: got all kinds of questions coming from people all over

870
00:49:39,440 --> 00:49:45,319
Speaker 1: the country. Um, let's first hold on, I'm sorry, question

871
00:49:45,480 --> 00:49:47,439
Speaker 1: got to do it. There's lots of dads, there's lots

872
00:49:47,440 --> 00:49:50,480
Speaker 1: of granddads out there listening right now. How would you

873
00:49:50,480 --> 00:49:53,360
Speaker 1: describe being both? Which do you like more? Well? I

874
00:49:53,880 --> 00:49:56,920
Speaker 1: like both to be honest you. I'm so blessed to

875
00:49:56,960 --> 00:50:00,080
Speaker 1: have an amazing little grandson. His name is ron I

876
00:50:00,200 --> 00:50:04,160
Speaker 1: in Mason Kumar and we call him Rai, Rai the

877
00:50:04,239 --> 00:50:08,280
Speaker 1: rock Star. And uh, he's twenty months and he's completely

878
00:50:08,360 --> 00:50:13,719
Speaker 1: changed my life. Um, you know, my perspective has gone

879
00:50:13,840 --> 00:50:17,799
Speaker 1: from you know, just worrying about retirement and health and

880
00:50:17,880 --> 00:50:20,759
Speaker 1: those issues, and now it's really a focus on I

881
00:50:20,800 --> 00:50:23,560
Speaker 1: want to make sure he has every opportunity that I

882
00:50:23,600 --> 00:50:27,600
Speaker 1: can possibly provide him, including with his parents of course.

883
00:50:28,160 --> 00:50:30,680
Speaker 1: And um, you know, just watching him grow up and

884
00:50:30,760 --> 00:50:34,520
Speaker 1: spending time with him is incredibly special. And you know,

885
00:50:34,920 --> 00:50:37,840
Speaker 1: in some ways it's better because I don't have the

886
00:50:37,880 --> 00:50:42,759
Speaker 1: direct responsibility. But in other ways, uh, you know, there's

887
00:50:42,800 --> 00:50:47,319
Speaker 1: nothing like you know, having having your own children, you know,

888
00:50:47,400 --> 00:50:51,000
Speaker 1: and and and being a hopefully a model of behavior.

889
00:50:51,520 --> 00:50:54,600
Speaker 1: You guys, because you had the four of us. Dad

890
00:50:54,600 --> 00:50:56,480
Speaker 1: by the time, when do you had us four? When

891
00:50:56,480 --> 00:50:59,920
Speaker 1: you were what mid mid thirties right now, I'm marrying

892
00:51:00,120 --> 00:51:02,719
Speaker 1: mother when I was thirty and she was twenty and

893
00:51:02,760 --> 00:51:08,239
Speaker 1: then by about forty three, forty four. I think I

894
00:51:08,360 --> 00:51:10,399
Speaker 1: had four children, because Clay got married at twenty five.

895
00:51:10,440 --> 00:51:12,879
Speaker 1: He's got three kids. He's forty three. Yeah, I had

896
00:51:12,960 --> 00:51:15,239
Speaker 1: twenty eight, twenty eight years old as when I had

897
00:51:15,280 --> 00:51:16,840
Speaker 1: my first. So I've got a fourteen year old, the

898
00:51:16,840 --> 00:51:19,240
Speaker 1: eleven year old in the seven year old. Busy stuff.

899
00:51:19,400 --> 00:51:22,120
Speaker 1: We got Barney from Pokeepsie. He's actually got a question.

900
00:51:22,120 --> 00:51:24,000
Speaker 1: He called it on the lines we had the Father's

901
00:51:24,080 --> 00:51:27,200
Speaker 1: Day line. Let's play it. This is Barney from Potkeepsie.

902
00:51:27,960 --> 00:51:31,640
Speaker 1: I just wanted to know from Buck's dad, what were

903
00:51:31,719 --> 00:51:36,160
Speaker 1: his thoughts when Bucks joined the CIA. Well, that's a

904
00:51:36,160 --> 00:51:41,520
Speaker 1: great question. And obviously you have remember the time that

905
00:51:41,600 --> 00:51:44,680
Speaker 1: he joined the CI. It was after nine eleven, and

906
00:51:44,760 --> 00:51:47,839
Speaker 1: he joined it to his credit as a you know,

907
00:51:48,960 --> 00:51:52,360
Speaker 1: I think, a show of patriotism and concern for his country.

908
00:51:52,680 --> 00:51:55,719
Speaker 1: He had been studying Middle Eastern affairs and had some

909
00:51:55,840 --> 00:51:58,520
Speaker 1: knowledge of Arabic, so he was in some ways an

910
00:51:58,560 --> 00:52:03,640
Speaker 1: ideal candidate, uh for the CIA. But uh, you know

911
00:52:03,719 --> 00:52:05,959
Speaker 1: when he went away and and said, Dad, I can't

912
00:52:05,960 --> 00:52:09,200
Speaker 1: tell you where we're going. It's top secret. That that's

913
00:52:09,239 --> 00:52:13,480
Speaker 1: a concern. And when we found out, you know that

914
00:52:13,560 --> 00:52:18,040
Speaker 1: it was we obviously suspected it was Iraq and ultimately Afghanistan.

915
00:52:18,400 --> 00:52:22,279
Speaker 1: I will tell a quick story. Um, there was an

916
00:52:22,360 --> 00:52:26,040
Speaker 1: article in the New York Times about the fact that

917
00:52:26,280 --> 00:52:30,520
Speaker 1: five senior Al Qaeda leaders had been liquidated in Moselle,

918
00:52:31,480 --> 00:52:35,640
Speaker 1: m mosel I'm sorry, and I had just had a

919
00:52:35,640 --> 00:52:39,399
Speaker 1: feeling that Folk was involved, and as it turned out,

920
00:52:39,840 --> 00:52:45,640
Speaker 1: he could neither confirm nor deny. It turned out show

921
00:52:45,719 --> 00:52:49,160
Speaker 1: up here now is dad spilled some but some friends

922
00:52:49,200 --> 00:52:53,680
Speaker 1: who were very badass door kicker folks. I might have

923
00:52:53,719 --> 00:52:56,840
Speaker 1: tried to help point them in the general vicinity. Um. Anyway,

924
00:52:57,239 --> 00:53:00,160
Speaker 1: so we were incredibly proud, of course, uh for for

925
00:53:00,239 --> 00:53:05,719
Speaker 1: buck service and still are. Yeah, we have a Thelma

926
00:53:05,800 --> 00:53:08,480
Speaker 1: from Thelma from Seattle, and I don't want to have

927
00:53:08,600 --> 00:53:10,360
Speaker 1: Clay has got to throw a sports question because just

928
00:53:10,560 --> 00:53:13,000
Speaker 1: the sex he raised, he used to take me. He

929
00:53:13,040 --> 00:53:15,320
Speaker 1: took me to Giants games, took me to Knicks games. So,

930
00:53:15,920 --> 00:53:18,319
Speaker 1: you know, because I think this audience thinks like I

931
00:53:18,440 --> 00:53:21,080
Speaker 1: played the sports, I saw the sports. I still like

932
00:53:21,160 --> 00:53:23,239
Speaker 1: to play the sports. I'm just not I don't really

933
00:53:23,239 --> 00:53:25,680
Speaker 1: watch the professional leagues very much. Anyway. We'll get to

934
00:53:25,680 --> 00:53:28,719
Speaker 1: that a second. This is Thelma from Seattle. Let's play it.

935
00:53:28,800 --> 00:53:32,600
Speaker 1: This is Thelma from Seattle. I was just curious. The

936
00:53:32,600 --> 00:53:37,560
Speaker 1: Sexton family has some interesting names. Speed Buck, what are

937
00:53:37,560 --> 00:53:42,240
Speaker 1: the origins? Well, the Speed family, excuse me, the Speed

938
00:53:42,360 --> 00:53:44,600
Speaker 1: is a family name. It was my mother's maiden name.

939
00:53:45,320 --> 00:53:47,920
Speaker 1: The Speed family, I was just telling Clay here because

940
00:53:47,920 --> 00:53:52,080
Speaker 1: he's from Nashville, is a prominent family in Louisville, Kentucky.

941
00:53:52,560 --> 00:53:57,640
Speaker 1: The Speed Museum is an internationally well known museum, Speed Institute.

942
00:53:58,000 --> 00:54:00,440
Speaker 1: And then of course Farmington, which is the family home,

943
00:54:00,560 --> 00:54:05,280
Speaker 1: which was designed by Jefferson, is a National Historic Landmark.

944
00:54:05,360 --> 00:54:09,960
Speaker 1: So the Speed name in Louisville in particular is a

945
00:54:10,239 --> 00:54:13,960
Speaker 1: you know, it's a historically important name. The if you Go,

946
00:54:15,160 --> 00:54:19,000
Speaker 1: if you Go back ultimately to John Speed was a

947
00:54:19,000 --> 00:54:23,160
Speaker 1: cartographer to Queen Elizabeth, the real Queen Elizabeth, and then

948
00:54:23,400 --> 00:54:26,600
Speaker 1: Joshua Speed was Lincoln's best friend and advisor during his

949
00:54:26,840 --> 00:54:31,720
Speaker 1: entire political career. And then ultimately James Speed, his brother,

950
00:54:32,360 --> 00:54:35,240
Speaker 1: was the second Attorney General in or was his Attorney

951
00:54:35,239 --> 00:54:38,800
Speaker 1: general in his second term. So, um, that tells you

952
00:54:38,840 --> 00:54:43,360
Speaker 1: a little bit of the Speed name. Your favorite team

953

954
00:54:47,400 --> 00:54:49,360
Speaker 1: the it has been the Giants, but I gotta tell you,

955
00:54:49,400 --> 00:54:51,440
Speaker 1: I think the Jets are are going to be ascendant

956
00:54:51,480 --> 00:54:54,680
Speaker 1: this year. Oh really yeah, I'm very very positive on
