1
00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:04,360
Speaker 1: Welcome back in Clay Travis buck Sexton Show final our

2
00:00:04,440 --> 00:00:09,080
Speaker 1: Thursday edition of the program. As I mentioned last hour,

3
00:00:09,160 --> 00:00:12,720
Speaker 1: Caroline Levitt was scheduled to join US White House Chief Spokesperson.

4
00:00:13,200 --> 00:00:16,720
Speaker 1: She will now be with us next week Tomorrow. Our

5
00:00:16,760 --> 00:00:20,040
Speaker 1: friend Will Caine, who has a new show on Fox News,

6
00:00:20,320 --> 00:00:24,000
Speaker 1: will be with us. As we head into the weekend,

7
00:00:24,600 --> 00:00:28,000
Speaker 1: we are breaking down with all of you the tragic

8
00:00:28,080 --> 00:00:32,000
Speaker 1: plane crash in Washington, d C. The first commercial airliner

9
00:00:32,040 --> 00:00:34,600
Speaker 1: in the United States to go down since two thousand

10
00:00:34,600 --> 00:00:38,600
Speaker 1: and nine. It is, of course a major topic of discussion.

11
00:00:39,040 --> 00:00:43,160
Speaker 1: Cash Pateel Tulsi Gabbard, both in the midst of their

12
00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:47,720
Speaker 1: Senate confirmation hearings. Our FK Junior has completed I believe

13
00:00:47,880 --> 00:00:51,600
Speaker 1: his six hours on the hot seat, and we will

14
00:00:51,640 --> 00:00:56,920
Speaker 1: be analyzing the likelihood of all of their confirmation.

15
00:00:56,920 --> 00:00:57,520
Speaker 2: Buck I did.

16
00:00:57,680 --> 00:00:58,840
Speaker 1: And by the way, we've got a bunch of you

17
00:00:58,880 --> 00:01:03,080
Speaker 1: who still went away in pilots, helicopter pilots. We will

18
00:01:03,080 --> 00:01:04,840
Speaker 1: try to get to some of your calls in this

19
00:01:04,880 --> 00:01:08,200
Speaker 1: third hour. Greg if you can, producer, Greg, if you

20
00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:11,320
Speaker 1: can update us here on anybody who is still waiting

21
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:14,360
Speaker 1: so that we are aware of how those calls look

22
00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:18,240
Speaker 1: to potentially be able to get more feedback from the

23
00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:22,319
Speaker 1: experts in this community. I will read, Buck, this is

24
00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:24,759
Speaker 1: the lead story on the Wall Street Journal right now

25
00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:29,800
Speaker 1: on their head page, and I think this is what

26
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:32,760
Speaker 1: the crux of the investigation is going to come down to.

27
00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:39,280
Speaker 1: The air traffic controller asked do you have the do

28
00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:46,120
Speaker 1: you have the airliner in sight? And then told the

29
00:01:46,319 --> 00:01:53,680
Speaker 1: military helicopter passed behind the airliner. The controller was saying

30
00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:59,760
Speaker 1: that as in the moments before this, this, this tragic

31
00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:07,720
Speaker 1: collision occurred nineteen seconds later. Is the official helicopter and

32
00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:13,840
Speaker 1: the airplane crashing together. Sixty seven lives lost, three on

33
00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:19,000
Speaker 1: the helicopter, sixty four on the airplane flight coming from

34
00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:23,520
Speaker 1: whichitah to National Airport, a airport that I'm sure many

35
00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:26,399
Speaker 1: of you have landed at in your lives, and one

36
00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:29,320
Speaker 1: that Buck and I were at last week when we

37
00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:32,160
Speaker 1: were traveling in and out of DC for the inauguration.

38
00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:35,440
Speaker 2: So, Buck, I think what's going to come down.

39
00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:39,560
Speaker 1: This is my prediction, based on the evidence that is

40
00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:41,000
Speaker 1: now out there and I'm reading from.

41
00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:41,840
Speaker 2: The Wall Street Journal.

42
00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:44,720
Speaker 1: I think the real crux of this is going to

43
00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:52,480
Speaker 1: be what did the helicopter pilot understand those instructions to

44
00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:56,920
Speaker 1: have meant from the air traffic controller, and was the

45
00:02:56,960 --> 00:03:02,760
Speaker 1: air traffic controller's instruction on this jet specific enough that

46
00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:05,840
Speaker 1: the helicopter pilot was aware of the jet that he

47
00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:08,800
Speaker 1: should be looking for, because I think there is going

48
00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:12,440
Speaker 1: to be some conjecture out there that the helicopter pilot

49
00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:15,240
Speaker 1: was aware of the jet traffic in the area, but

50
00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:17,960
Speaker 1: may not have been aware of clearly the jet that

51
00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:21,280
Speaker 1: ended up colliding with him, and may have believed that

52
00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:25,600
Speaker 1: he was passing behind another jet, So it could be

53
00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:29,639
Speaker 1: I think the I think the airplane pilot, from everything

54
00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:33,000
Speaker 1: that I have seen, is going to be not responsible

55
00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:35,080
Speaker 1: very much at all for what happened. Not to say

56
00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:37,840
Speaker 1: that he was perfect, but I think the argument and

57
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:41,800
Speaker 1: investigation is going to boil down to air traffic control

58
00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:46,800
Speaker 1: instructions to the helicopter pilot. How was that understood? That's

59
00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:49,720
Speaker 1: the specific and I'm curious how you would analyze this.

60
00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:53,720
Speaker 1: The bigger picture is the argument that now has already

61
00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:57,760
Speaker 1: taken over before we even know the specific cause of

62
00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:01,400
Speaker 1: this incident. Obviously it was a tragedy, there was human

63
00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:05,040
Speaker 1: error involved. How exactly the human error is to be

64
00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:09,520
Speaker 1: allocated remains to be seen. Many people have already moved

65
00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:14,000
Speaker 1: beyond the specific incident here to the larger picture, whether

66
00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:18,600
Speaker 1: it is air traffic control quality, pilot quality, why are

67
00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:22,680
Speaker 1: you having this training exercise going on? Those are generalized

68
00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:26,840
Speaker 1: concerns that are larger in context than the specific nature

69
00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:32,640
Speaker 1: of this individual incident of tragic death. So I think

70
00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:35,599
Speaker 1: that's kind of where we are. The only thing holding back.

71
00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:40,480
Speaker 1: I think more of the usual political recriminations is we

72
00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:43,240
Speaker 1: know so little beyond the facts that you've laid out

73
00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:48,000
Speaker 1: that it's not even clear how anybody could make this

74
00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:51,760
Speaker 1: into the narrative they want for their side, Which it's

75
00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:54,240
Speaker 1: a shame that that's how tragedies are thought of now.

76
00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:57,479
Speaker 1: But school shootings, oh, you know, is it a gun

77
00:04:57,520 --> 00:05:00,080
Speaker 1: control issue? Is it a mental health issue?

78
00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:00,799
Speaker 2: Right away?

79
00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:03,680
Speaker 3: We all know everyone now it can go online and

80
00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:07,080
Speaker 3: there is ongoing commentary. President Trump weighed in, a bunch

81
00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:11,640
Speaker 3: of other talking heads on TV weighed in, Clay, you know,

82
00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:14,400
Speaker 3: this might have just been a very I mean, just

83
00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:17,080
Speaker 3: a freak accident. I don't know what else. I know

84
00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:19,480
Speaker 3: that's not a technical term for, but there might have

85
00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:24,760
Speaker 3: been some miscommunication, bad situation with visibility and somebody distracted

86
00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:28,640
Speaker 3: or not clear on what the instructions were, as you've

87
00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:32,280
Speaker 3: laid out, We don't know, but there's nothing to suggest that,

88
00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:35,200
Speaker 3: first of all, because there were some crazy conspiracy theories online,

89
00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:37,160
Speaker 3: there's nothing to suggest that this was in any way

90
00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:40,400
Speaker 3: nefarious or intentional. Looks like the most tragic kind of accident,

91
00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:46,000
Speaker 3: and it just sometimes these things, horrible things like this happen.

92
00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:49,760
Speaker 3: You know, the plane crashes do happen. It's a terrible thing.

93
00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:55,280
Speaker 3: You want to absolutely limit it. And flying is fortunately

94
00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:59,440
Speaker 3: very very safe by the numbers, particularly in this country,

95
00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:01,720
Speaker 3: much safer than even when when we were you know,

96
00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:05,039
Speaker 3: little kids play. I mean, the plain safety records have

97
00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:08,680
Speaker 3: gotten better and better with passing decades. So, you know,

98
00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:11,120
Speaker 3: we'll find out more about this, but I don't think

99
00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:13,360
Speaker 3: that this is going to be I know that there's

100
00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:16,120
Speaker 3: some stuff out there. People are saying, what about you know,

101
00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:18,479
Speaker 3: the President brought up DEI and other people, and you

102
00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:20,279
Speaker 3: know the New York Times now, of course, the front

103
00:06:20,279 --> 00:06:23,520
Speaker 3: page of the New York Times is all about the

104
00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:26,880
Speaker 3: President mentioning THEI in this respect. Because we have no

105
00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:31,080
Speaker 3: idea if THEI was involved in this. We do know

106
00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:34,320
Speaker 3: the Democrats love DEI, and that's a risk to aviation

107
00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:39,400
Speaker 3: and to the meritocracy necessary for air traffic controllers. But

108
00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:41,440
Speaker 3: I don't think we can take it beyond what we

109
00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:45,240
Speaker 3: know right now, and what we know is is a

110
00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:49,800
Speaker 3: terrible accident, and we'll look at more facts as they

111
00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:50,160
Speaker 3: come in.

112
00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:51,240
Speaker 2: I think you're right though.

113
00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:54,919
Speaker 3: To me, it seems like most likely that the the

114
00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:57,240
Speaker 3: I don't like the term fault when something like this

115
00:06:57,279 --> 00:06:59,560
Speaker 3: has happened, but it seems like there was an error made,

116
00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:02,640
Speaker 3: most likely by the helicopter and not by the plane

117
00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:04,279
Speaker 3: coming in. That's what all the pilots that have been

118
00:07:04,279 --> 00:07:08,320
Speaker 3: reaching out have been telling us. You know, the helicopter's

119
00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:09,440
Speaker 3: got to stay out of the way.

120
00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:12,080
Speaker 2: Of the of the plane that's landing in the airport,

121
00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:13,520
Speaker 2: no doubt.

122
00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:15,640
Speaker 1: And here, by the way, tying into this, Tim in

123
00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:18,680
Speaker 1: Northwest Ohio has been waiting a while to talk with us.

124
00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:23,920
Speaker 1: He is a former pilot, both for fixed wing and helicopters.

125
00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:28,520
Speaker 1: We were just talking about reading from the Wall Street

126
00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:32,040
Speaker 1: Journal as it pertains to the air traffic control instructions.

127
00:07:32,840 --> 00:07:37,800
Speaker 1: You think that's probably where the tragic error occurred. How

128
00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:40,320
Speaker 1: would you analyze it based on your experience? And thanks

129
00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:41,480
Speaker 1: for listening and calling in.

130
00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:45,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm an ATP for both Kilo and rotory wing,

131
00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:47,880
Speaker 4: still flying with an air traffic controller a long time

132
00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:50,480
Speaker 4: agoing the Marine Corps, and what I think happened was

133
00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:52,920
Speaker 4: the rotary wing guys are confused, and what the controller

134
00:07:52,960 --> 00:07:55,760
Speaker 4: probably should have said was something like RAT two five,

135
00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:58,240
Speaker 4: do you see the CRJ turn in final for runway

136
00:07:58,240 --> 00:08:01,520
Speaker 4: three three ahead into your left in that way specifically

137
00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:03,560
Speaker 4: tells him what aircraft to look for, because I think

138
00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:05,440
Speaker 4: they were looking off to the right of an aircraft

139
00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:08,680
Speaker 4: that just departed zero one. That's just my guess, but.

140
00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:12,160
Speaker 1: Which would And you are really specific here in the

141
00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:15,800
Speaker 1: destructions you gave. But for the layman out there, the

142
00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:20,040
Speaker 1: helicopter pilot was told, hey, look out for this airplane,

143
00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:23,880
Speaker 1: and he wasn't specifically told in your mind and your

144
00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:27,440
Speaker 1: analysis here which direction that airplane was coming, and he

145
00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:31,400
Speaker 1: may have thought he was passing behind the aircraft and

146
00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:34,679
Speaker 1: not seeing the one that was descending directly into his path.

147
00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:38,040
Speaker 4: Yes, I've shot that approach before and done that, and

148
00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:40,640
Speaker 4: it's very challenging for the CRJ crew. They're not going

149
00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:42,480
Speaker 4: to be looking out for aircraft. And then at night,

150
00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:44,280
Speaker 4: your vision about the best your vision is going to

151
00:08:44,280 --> 00:08:46,280
Speaker 4: be twenty two hundred, so you're not going to be

152
00:08:46,280 --> 00:08:48,560
Speaker 4: able to see it night flowing night vision goggles since

153
00:08:48,559 --> 00:08:50,920
Speaker 4: eighty two and night vision goggles give to be a

154
00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:54,040
Speaker 4: forty degree field of vision, and the debt perception is

155
00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:56,600
Speaker 4: not very good. And with all those lights there, it's

156
00:08:56,600 --> 00:08:59,080
Speaker 4: going to be very difficult to stick out in the CRJ.

157
00:08:59,280 --> 00:09:01,040
Speaker 4: And the other thing is, you know, everybody looks at

158
00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:04,720
Speaker 4: the landing light, but that's white, and MBGS see red

159
00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:06,800
Speaker 4: light much better. You can see tail lights on a

160
00:09:06,840 --> 00:09:09,360
Speaker 4: car with MBGS a lot further than you can see

161
00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:12,440
Speaker 4: the headlights. So there's just so many human factors that

162
00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:16,240
Speaker 4: are involved. But had the controller specifically called out the aircraft,

163
00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:17,320
Speaker 4: I think that would have helped.

164
00:09:17,679 --> 00:09:19,600
Speaker 3: How much time do you think there was between that

165
00:09:19,679 --> 00:09:23,080
Speaker 3: call out from air traffic control and when the collision happened?

166
00:09:23,080 --> 00:09:23,720
Speaker 2: Do we know?

167
00:09:24,280 --> 00:09:27,559
Speaker 3: I mean, I'm always curious how long the HELO pilots

168
00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:31,719
Speaker 3: would have had from that communication to you know, I

169
00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:34,120
Speaker 3: think it's tough to get a sense. Is how long

170
00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:37,840
Speaker 3: before that plane is an imminent threat to the for

171
00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:38,440
Speaker 3: the collision?

172
00:09:39,880 --> 00:09:41,320
Speaker 4: It's who knows?

173
00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:45,120
Speaker 1: I mean, sorry to interrupt the Wall Street journal says

174
00:09:45,240 --> 00:09:49,520
Speaker 1: nineteen seconds, so they gained the description. No, yeah, it's

175
00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:53,360
Speaker 1: not like minutes, like nineteen seconds. And again to this

176
00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:57,439
Speaker 1: caller's point, if you are looking and you think, hey,

177
00:09:57,480 --> 00:10:01,400
Speaker 1: I'm passing behind another plane that you're seeing, I think

178
00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:03,880
Speaker 1: there may be an argument here that the air traffic

179
00:10:03,920 --> 00:10:06,880
Speaker 1: controller could have been more specific, and also that the

180
00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:10,240
Speaker 1: helicopter pilot did not do a great job of translating

181
00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:13,199
Speaker 1: what the air traffic controller said. Thank you for calling in, sir,

182
00:10:13,520 --> 00:10:15,480
Speaker 1: I would just say, clay in a very sort of

183
00:10:15,520 --> 00:10:18,679
Speaker 1: a simplified way to think about this. If if somebody else,

184
00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:20,960
Speaker 1: you know, if you're in like a moving truck and

185
00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:23,240
Speaker 1: you can't really see and you're having to reverse over

186
00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:26,400
Speaker 1: train tracks and you look at the wrong direction, you say,

187
00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:28,440
Speaker 1: you're good, you're clear on this side, and the trains

188
00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:29,280
Speaker 1: come in the other way.

189
00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:31,959
Speaker 3: That's all she wrote. I mean, that's going to be it.

190
00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:35,000
Speaker 3: So that may have been somewhat similar with the air

191
00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:38,040
Speaker 3: traffic control communication to the helo here.

192
00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:39,640
Speaker 2: That's a that's a great example.

193
00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:42,200
Speaker 1: How many times have you been in a car and

194
00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:44,800
Speaker 1: you turn to the person next to you and you're like, hey,

195
00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:47,400
Speaker 1: I can't I'm trying to look both ways. If you

196
00:10:47,480 --> 00:10:50,360
Speaker 1: both look the same way and buck, somebody says, hey,

197
00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:53,200
Speaker 1: you're good, boom. It's just you didn't both look the

198
00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:57,000
Speaker 1: opposite direction. It may be an illustration of what ended

199
00:10:57,080 --> 00:10:58,720
Speaker 1: up happening in this particular case.

200
00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:02,640
Speaker 3: Florida. You're a former Navy Seahawk pilot. What do you think?

201
00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:08,840
Speaker 5: It depends on what the mission they exactly were doing.

202
00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:11,520
Speaker 5: For the helicopter pilot. But if he was in control,

203
00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:14,960
Speaker 5: if he was in contact with the ATC, he would

204
00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:17,000
Speaker 5: have had to have the tower because he was within

205
00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:20,520
Speaker 5: five miles zone of he would have had to have

206
00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:24,520
Speaker 5: You have multiple radios inside the helicopter, so he would

207
00:11:24,520 --> 00:11:27,560
Speaker 5: have had the tower up for DCA, had ATC up

208
00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:32,880
Speaker 5: on the other radio. And he's told airplane the ATC

209
00:11:33,040 --> 00:11:35,240
Speaker 5: should have told him. I don't know what he's told,

210
00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:38,079
Speaker 5: but basically the ATC, like the previous callers said, he

211
00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:40,880
Speaker 5: would give him very specific look for this airplane. There's

212
00:11:40,920 --> 00:11:44,760
Speaker 5: a American whatever in a left hand turn going into

213
00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:49,120
Speaker 5: d C DCA. He'll be at your eight o'clock and

214
00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:52,360
Speaker 5: you look your eight o'clock. Now, in the helicopter, they're

215
00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:53,880
Speaker 5: side by side of the sitting So if it was

216
00:11:53,920 --> 00:11:57,600
Speaker 5: on the left the cop, the left guy would have

217
00:11:57,679 --> 00:11:59,679
Speaker 5: looked that way. It was in the right the right guy,

218
00:11:59,720 --> 00:12:03,200
Speaker 5: and they look at them out the front, So you

219
00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:06,800
Speaker 5: have two sets of eyes looking. But depending on where

220
00:12:06,840 --> 00:12:09,320
Speaker 5: he was, if he was up up high and wasn't

221
00:12:09,320 --> 00:12:11,400
Speaker 5: told he was up up higher than him, then they

222
00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:13,920
Speaker 5: might not look there. They'd look straight out to the right,

223
00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:16,760
Speaker 5: left and forward. So great call on where they were

224
00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:17,360
Speaker 5: told to look.

225
00:12:18,280 --> 00:12:18,959
Speaker 2: Thank you for the call.

226
00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:21,480
Speaker 1: I mean, I got to give credit Buck to We

227
00:12:21,520 --> 00:12:24,440
Speaker 1: talk about this sometimes, but we could say, hey, we

228
00:12:24,520 --> 00:12:30,000
Speaker 1: need surgeons who are experts on working on the carotid artery,

229
00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:33,880
Speaker 1: and we would immediately have loaded lines. And you guys,

230
00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:36,080
Speaker 1: I am just tossing that out. I mean, the degree

231
00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:41,280
Speaker 1: of expertise and caller ability here is pretty extraordinary. And

232
00:12:41,720 --> 00:12:44,640
Speaker 1: I would say this, Buck, one of the larger context

233
00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:46,800
Speaker 1: decisions that I think is going to have to occur.

234
00:12:47,920 --> 00:12:53,160
Speaker 1: Why do the military exercises need to be occurring in

235
00:12:53,320 --> 00:12:58,600
Speaker 1: this region at this particular time at night. I think

236
00:12:58,640 --> 00:13:00,240
Speaker 1: a lot of people are going to look back can

237
00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:03,480
Speaker 1: say hey, I understand the military pilots have to do

238
00:13:03,559 --> 00:13:06,600
Speaker 1: training exercises. It's important for them to develop skill sets

239
00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:08,640
Speaker 1: that are very necessary in the event they need to

240
00:13:08,640 --> 00:13:11,559
Speaker 1: protect the nation. But I think some people are also

241
00:13:11,640 --> 00:13:16,040
Speaker 1: going to say, hey, at night training exercises in close

242
00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:20,960
Speaker 1: proximity to a super busy airport like this, is there

243
00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:24,640
Speaker 1: a way to get these helicopters doing these training exercises

244
00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:28,160
Speaker 1: in an area that is less dense with air traffic.

245
00:13:28,760 --> 00:13:30,120
Speaker 1: I think that is going to be one of the

246
00:13:30,160 --> 00:13:34,200
Speaker 1: discussions that certainly arises from this, to just try to

247
00:13:34,280 --> 00:13:39,040
Speaker 1: limit the overall possibility of the tragedy that, unfortunately we

248
00:13:39,120 --> 00:13:40,200
Speaker 1: had happened last night.

249
00:13:40,440 --> 00:13:42,040
Speaker 3: I think I think Clay that there are a lot

250
00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:44,600
Speaker 3: of flights that operate around this area. I mean, this

251
00:13:44,640 --> 00:13:48,560
Speaker 3: is where it's there's a a a air base that

252
00:13:48,679 --> 00:13:51,640
Speaker 3: marine one operates out of here. I mean this, you know,

253
00:13:51,679 --> 00:13:54,480
Speaker 3: this is there's helicopter traffic all the time, right. So

254
00:13:54,840 --> 00:13:56,840
Speaker 3: I don't know how much they're going to change, other

255
00:13:56,880 --> 00:13:59,360
Speaker 3: than they might change some of the specific the specifics

256
00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:02,520
Speaker 3: of the communication to let somebody know you've got a

257
00:14:02,520 --> 00:14:06,520
Speaker 3: plane coming at you know, at your nine o'clock or whatever.

258
00:14:06,559 --> 00:14:06,840
Speaker 5: It was.

259
00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:10,080
Speaker 1: No doubt we'll continue to break this down. I'm going

260
00:14:10,120 --> 00:14:13,559
Speaker 1: to dive into and we will dive into Tulci Gabbard

261
00:14:13,800 --> 00:14:17,679
Speaker 1: RFK Junior Cash Patel. We've got some audio clips from

262
00:14:17,679 --> 00:14:20,120
Speaker 1: the hearings that are taking place there, but we want

263
00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:22,560
Speaker 1: to tell you earlier this week on Monday, in fact,

264
00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:27,680
Speaker 1: the world recognized International Holocaust Remembrance Day, eightieth anniversary of

265
00:14:27,720 --> 00:14:31,720
Speaker 1: the liberation of prisoners held at Auschwitz. Few survivors are left,

266
00:14:31,720 --> 00:14:36,800
Speaker 1: but their descriptive words are telling. In fact, my kids

267
00:14:36,960 --> 00:14:41,360
Speaker 1: had a Holocaust survivor speak at their school and both

268
00:14:41,360 --> 00:14:44,480
Speaker 1: of them were talking about how unbelievable the experience was.

269
00:14:45,080 --> 00:14:47,680
Speaker 1: So speaking out and sharing the truth of what took

270
00:14:47,720 --> 00:14:51,640
Speaker 1: place is so incredibly powerful, and that's one reason we

271
00:14:51,720 --> 00:14:54,960
Speaker 1: partnered with the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews. They

272
00:14:54,960 --> 00:14:58,280
Speaker 1: provide food, shelter, safety to Jews in Israel and around

273
00:14:58,360 --> 00:15:02,600
Speaker 1: the world, including those remains Holocaust survivors. Your donation today

274
00:15:02,960 --> 00:15:06,320
Speaker 1: will help provide food, water, medicine, other basic necessities to

275

00:15:48,320 --> 00:15:48,640
Speaker 2: back in.

287
00:15:48,880 --> 00:15:53,800
Speaker 3: We've got Tulci Gabbert and Cashtel both going through their hearings,

288
00:15:53,840 --> 00:15:57,200
Speaker 3: being put through their paces by some Democrats. We'll get

289
00:15:57,200 --> 00:16:00,200
Speaker 3: into some of the specifics here. In a moment, thick

290
00:16:00,240 --> 00:16:02,480
Speaker 3: Republicans are lined up and off behind these two that

291
00:16:02,520 --> 00:16:06,320
Speaker 3: we are going to see both of them get confirmed.

292
00:16:06,760 --> 00:16:12,040
Speaker 3: I think RFK Junior as well. Oh Clay, I didn't

293
00:16:12,040 --> 00:16:15,800
Speaker 3: see this until now. This is some breaking. So Trump

294
00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:21,360
Speaker 3: referred specifically to former Department of Transportation head Pete boota

295
00:16:21,480 --> 00:16:27,560
Speaker 3: judge whose qualifications for that job were being the mayor

296
00:16:27,640 --> 00:16:30,360
Speaker 3: of a pretty small city in the Midwest for a while,

297
00:16:30,400 --> 00:16:32,080
Speaker 3: and not a good mayor from what I know from

298
00:16:32,120 --> 00:16:34,960
Speaker 3: friends of mine who are from South Bend in the area.

299
00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:35,920
Speaker 2: But put that aside.

300
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:41,480
Speaker 3: President Trump said that Buddha Judge was a disaster. I

301
00:16:41,520 --> 00:16:43,120
Speaker 3: believe he said a couple of times he was a

302
00:16:43,160 --> 00:16:46,320
Speaker 3: disaster Department of Transportation and said all he had was

303
00:16:46,360 --> 00:16:50,560
Speaker 3: a good line of bs. But the President actually said

304
00:16:50,560 --> 00:16:54,440
Speaker 3: the word, not the acronym. And Buddha Judge has responded

305
00:16:54,560 --> 00:16:58,680
Speaker 3: Clay and says that these are despicable comments. So we

306
00:16:58,760 --> 00:17:03,280
Speaker 3: have a Buddha Judge Trump feud in the making right now.

307
00:17:04,080 --> 00:17:07,720
Speaker 1: Well, and I think we also have to weigh in buck. Remember,

308
00:17:07,760 --> 00:17:12,159
Speaker 1: Mayor Pete is rumored to be potentially the Senate nominee

309
00:17:12,200 --> 00:17:17,199
Speaker 1: going forward for Democrats. So this is for Mayor Pete

310
00:17:17,240 --> 00:17:20,800
Speaker 1: probably a way to keep himself in the news because

311
00:17:20,840 --> 00:17:24,040
Speaker 1: otherwise he's just living in Traverse City, which, to be fair,

312
00:17:24,119 --> 00:17:28,080
Speaker 1: is a fabulous place in northern Michigan, particularly in the summer,

313
00:17:29,200 --> 00:17:33,439
Speaker 1: And so Mayor Pete this probably bolsters his claim to

314
00:17:33,640 --> 00:17:37,719
Speaker 1: try to be the nominee. I think our friend Tudor Dixon,

315
00:17:38,280 --> 00:17:41,520
Speaker 1: if she were to run against Mayor Pete, either as

316
00:17:41,640 --> 00:17:47,760
Speaker 1: governor or Senate candidate, would smoke Mayor Pete in the

317
00:17:47,800 --> 00:17:51,359
Speaker 1: great state of Michigan. So maybe that battle could be

318
00:17:51,400 --> 00:17:53,919
Speaker 1: coming down the pike in the days of weeks and

319
00:17:53,960 --> 00:17:54,480
Speaker 1: months ahead.

320
00:17:55,160 --> 00:17:57,119
Speaker 3: You know, a lot of people change their cell phones

321
00:17:57,600 --> 00:18:00,120
Speaker 3: every few years. Sometimes they wait longer. But if you're

322
00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:02,920
Speaker 3: thinking about your next phone, pure Talk has the right

323
00:18:02,920 --> 00:18:04,600
Speaker 3: deal for you. It's a lot better than what you'll

324
00:18:04,600 --> 00:18:07,040
Speaker 3: find the big cell phone stores. They make a big

325
00:18:07,080 --> 00:18:09,160
Speaker 3: deal with their three year plan, but it's one hundred

326
00:18:09,160 --> 00:18:11,440
Speaker 3: dollars a month bundled with that phone, so you're gonna

327
00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:14,320
Speaker 3: pay more. It's a worse deal for you. That's where

328
00:18:14,359 --> 00:18:17,000
Speaker 3: Puretalk comes in. They've got a much better deal for you.

340
00:18:54,480 --> 00:18:58,600
Speaker 1: Welcome back in Clay, Travis Buck Sexton show. Okay, a

341
00:18:58,640 --> 00:19:03,479
Speaker 1: lot going on on Capitol Hill a variety of different

342
00:19:03,520 --> 00:19:08,399
Speaker 1: hearings simultaneously, all occurring as we certainly are grappling with

343
00:19:08,480 --> 00:19:11,520
Speaker 1: the awful news that has come out of the Wichita

344
00:19:12,359 --> 00:19:16,120
Speaker 1: plane crash that occurred in DC, which has overshadowed much

345
00:19:16,160 --> 00:19:19,040
Speaker 1: of these hearings. But we want to play some of

346
00:19:19,080 --> 00:19:21,680
Speaker 1: the cuts to give you a sense for what has

347
00:19:21,760 --> 00:19:28,280
Speaker 1: actually been taking place. Cut thirty Here, RFK Junior has

348
00:19:28,480 --> 00:19:33,719
Speaker 1: directly called out Bernie Sanders by saying, Hey, this is

349
00:19:34,320 --> 00:19:38,480
Speaker 1: really all about you just taking more money from big

350
00:19:38,520 --> 00:19:42,200
Speaker 1: pharma companies than anyone. Things got spicy here.

351
00:19:42,359 --> 00:19:46,280
Speaker 6: Listen, I'm going to make America healthier than other countries

352
00:19:46,280 --> 00:19:47,280
Speaker 6: in the world right now.

353
00:19:47,240 --> 00:19:50,880
Speaker 7: Will you guarantee do what every other major country does.

354
00:19:50,960 --> 00:19:54,560
Speaker 6: It's a simple question. And by the way, Bernie, you

355
00:19:54,600 --> 00:19:57,479
Speaker 6: know the problem of corruption is not just in the

356
00:19:57,520 --> 00:20:01,040
Speaker 6: federal ags, is in Congress too. Almost all the members

357
00:20:01,040 --> 00:20:04,560
Speaker 6: of this panel are accepting, including yourself, are accepting millions

358
00:20:04,600 --> 00:20:06,320
Speaker 6: of dollars from the pharmaceutical and.

359
00:20:08,119 --> 00:20:09,680
Speaker 2: Protecting their interests.

360
00:20:09,680 --> 00:20:12,200
Speaker 7: Oh I thought that that would go.

361
00:20:12,359 --> 00:20:13,560
Speaker 4: No.

362
00:20:13,640 --> 00:20:17,200
Speaker 7: I ran for president like you. I got millions millions

363
00:20:17,240 --> 00:20:21,560
Speaker 7: of contributions. They did not come from the executives, not

364
00:20:21,760 --> 00:20:24,400
Speaker 7: one nickel of pack money from the pharmaceuticals.

365
00:20:24,720 --> 00:20:28,600
Speaker 6: They came twenty twenty. In twenty twenty, you were the

366
00:20:28,800 --> 00:20:30,439
Speaker 6: single largest.

367
00:20:30,200 --> 00:20:35,920
Speaker 7: Because I received from minations from workers all over this country.

368
00:20:36,119 --> 00:20:36,560
Speaker 5: Workers.

369
00:20:36,560 --> 00:20:39,480
Speaker 7: You were this, not a nickel from corporate.

370
00:20:39,760 --> 00:20:44,640
Speaker 6: You were the single largest except pharmaceutical dollars from workers

371
00:20:44,680 --> 00:20:46,439
Speaker 6: in five million.

372
00:20:46,680 --> 00:20:48,879
Speaker 2: Yeah, out of two hundred million.

373
00:20:49,720 --> 00:20:52,280
Speaker 3: Maybe Bernie was going to be a communist with four houses,

374
00:20:52,320 --> 00:20:54,639
Speaker 3: you know, given all that, it's really funny, but I

375
00:20:54,680 --> 00:20:57,840
Speaker 3: do think Buck this is the essence of the opposition

376
00:20:57,920 --> 00:20:59,000
Speaker 3: to RFK Junior.

377
00:20:59,560 --> 00:21:03,400
Speaker 1: Big four Karma is threatened by his challenge of their

378
00:21:03,480 --> 00:21:07,199
Speaker 1: corporate hegemony, and they have bought off a lot of

379
00:21:07,320 --> 00:21:11,679
Speaker 1: major politicians, including Bernie Sanders, who claims that he is

380
00:21:12,080 --> 00:21:15,320
Speaker 1: above approach in respected things like this. All right, so

381
00:21:15,359 --> 00:21:18,119
Speaker 1: that was some drama from RFK Junior, who seems to

382
00:21:18,160 --> 00:21:23,360
Speaker 1: be headed towards approval. Here is cash Patel, John Kennedy,

383
00:21:23,800 --> 00:21:28,520
Speaker 1: Republican Senator from Louisiana, questioning him. I think you guys

384
00:21:28,560 --> 00:21:32,840
Speaker 1: are going to enjoy this. This is a positive testimony

385
00:21:33,200 --> 00:21:35,760
Speaker 1: from John Kennedy. Very funny in Louisiana.

386
00:21:36,040 --> 00:21:40,600
Speaker 8: Enjoy my colleague and friend, Senator Durbin called you a

387
00:21:41,080 --> 00:21:46,280
Speaker 8: conspiracy theorist. You remember that, I do, Senator. You were

388
00:21:46,440 --> 00:21:55,800
Speaker 8: instrumental in revealing that the Trump Russia election collusion hoax

389
00:21:56,000 --> 00:21:57,120
Speaker 8: was a hoax, weren't.

390
00:21:56,920 --> 00:21:58,920
Speaker 9: You, Yes, Sir, I was a lead investigator.

391
00:22:02,040 --> 00:22:05,679
Speaker 8: Couns me, we need to get some new conspiracy theories

392
00:22:05,720 --> 00:22:09,000
Speaker 8: because all the old ones turned out to be true.

393
00:22:10,320 --> 00:22:14,960
Speaker 8: Fax matter, Senator, Yeah, I mean conspiracy theorists are up

394
00:22:15,040 --> 00:22:17,080
Speaker 8: something like thirty seven and nothing.

395
00:22:20,480 --> 00:22:22,640
Speaker 1: All right, So I thought that was pretty funny, And

396
00:22:22,720 --> 00:22:25,000
Speaker 1: I mean, I think that's one reason Cash is the nominee.

397
00:22:25,040 --> 00:22:28,800
Speaker 1: And then last Tulsi Gabbird Buck these are all things

398
00:22:28,840 --> 00:22:33,840
Speaker 1: that happened today. Tulsa Gabbert, testifying on Capitol Hill, called

399
00:22:33,880 --> 00:22:36,800
Speaker 1: out the fifty one intelligence agents who claimed that Hunter

400
00:22:36,840 --> 00:22:39,680
Speaker 1: Biden's laptop had all the hallmarks of disinformation.

401
00:22:40,040 --> 00:22:42,880
Speaker 9: Here's that the American people elected Donald Trump as their

402
00:22:42,920 --> 00:22:45,879
Speaker 9: president not once, but twice, and yet the FBI and

403
00:22:45,920 --> 00:22:49,520
Speaker 9: intelligence agencies were politicized by his opponents to undermine his

404
00:22:49,600 --> 00:22:53,399
Speaker 9: presidency and falsely portray him as a puppet of Putin.

405
00:22:53,640 --> 00:22:57,160
Speaker 9: Title one Offiza was used illegally to obtain a warrant

406
00:22:57,200 --> 00:23:00,520
Speaker 9: to spy on Trump campaign advisor carter Page, using a

407
00:23:00,560 --> 00:23:04,160
Speaker 9: Clinton campaign funded false dossier as their so called evidence.

408
00:23:04,520 --> 00:23:08,359
Speaker 9: Biden campaign advisor Tony Blinken was the impetus for the

409
00:23:08,359 --> 00:23:12,680
Speaker 9: fifty one former senior intelligence officials letter dismissing Hunter Biden's

410
00:23:12,720 --> 00:23:17,600
Speaker 9: laptop as disinformation, specifically to help Biden win the election.

411
00:23:18,240 --> 00:23:21,040
Speaker 9: Former d and I James Clapper lied to this committee

412
00:23:21,080 --> 00:23:25,240
Speaker 9: in twenty thirteen denying the existence of programs that facilitated

413
00:23:25,280 --> 00:23:28,880
Speaker 9: the mass collection of millions of Americans phone and Internet records,

414
00:23:29,440 --> 00:23:32,320
Speaker 9: yet was never held accountable. Under John Brennan's leadership, the

415
00:23:32,359 --> 00:23:35,879
Speaker 9: CIA abused its power to spy on Congress to dodge oversight,

416
00:23:36,200 --> 00:23:38,600
Speaker 9: lied about doing it until he was caught, and yet

417
00:23:38,720 --> 00:23:42,040
Speaker 9: has never been held responsible. Under Biden, the FBI abused

418
00:23:42,080 --> 00:23:45,080
Speaker 9: its power for political reasons to try to surveil Catholics

419
00:23:45,080 --> 00:23:49,280
Speaker 9: who attend traditional Latin mass labeling them as quote unquote

420
00:23:49,320 --> 00:23:53,919
Speaker 9: radical traditionalist Catholics. Personally, just twenty four hours after crisize

421
00:23:54,160 --> 00:23:57,000
Speaker 9: Kamala Harris and her nomination, I was placed on a

422
00:23:57,040 --> 00:24:01,479
Speaker 9: secret domestic terror watch list called Quiet Skies. Sadly there

423
00:24:01,520 --> 00:24:06,720
Speaker 9: are more examples. The bottom line is this, this must end, So.

424
00:24:06,760 --> 00:24:08,520
Speaker 1: Buck, what I would say about all three of those

425
00:24:08,520 --> 00:24:10,320
Speaker 1: clips that we just played in all three of the

426
00:24:10,359 --> 00:24:15,520
Speaker 1: individuals testifying today, RFK, Junior, Cash, Pttel Tulci Gabbard. They

427
00:24:15,520 --> 00:24:19,280
Speaker 1: are outsiders that are not in the traditional power dynamic

428
00:24:19,320 --> 00:24:23,640
Speaker 1: of Washington, disruptors, and they're being attacked by people who want,

429
00:24:23,680 --> 00:24:26,560
Speaker 1: to a large degree preserved the status quo. Is that

430
00:24:26,640 --> 00:24:28,919
Speaker 1: an accurate take from your perspective.

431
00:24:29,520 --> 00:24:32,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, And I think that Tulsi.

432
00:24:33,440 --> 00:24:35,840
Speaker 3: What upsets so many of the people within the system

433
00:24:35,840 --> 00:24:40,480
Speaker 3: about Tulsi is that she doesn't have this allegiance that

434
00:24:40,600 --> 00:24:44,000
Speaker 3: comes from being within this community for such a long

435
00:24:44,040 --> 00:24:47,320
Speaker 3: period of time, which generally I think has been a

436
00:24:47,359 --> 00:24:51,560
Speaker 3: precondition for getting one of these jobs. It's a management job.

437
00:24:51,600 --> 00:24:53,760
Speaker 3: It's a leadership and management job to be the DNI.

438
00:24:54,160 --> 00:24:56,959
Speaker 3: And James Clapper was the DNI before, who is a

439
00:24:57,000 --> 00:25:01,919
Speaker 3: buffoon and a partisan hack. So I don't care what

440
00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:05,040
Speaker 3: his resume is. He showed who he was in that

441
00:25:05,280 --> 00:25:08,160
Speaker 3: role as the Director of National Intelligence. He was absolutely,

442
00:25:08,320 --> 00:25:11,360
Speaker 3: absolutely horrible for the country. And same thing with Brennan,

443
00:25:11,440 --> 00:25:14,040
Speaker 3: who was a career intel guy and had been Obama's

444
00:25:14,520 --> 00:25:16,640
Speaker 3: counter terrorisms are in the White House and had come

445
00:25:16,640 --> 00:25:20,520
Speaker 3: from the intelligence community before then I agree with those

446
00:25:20,520 --> 00:25:22,399
Speaker 3: who said they don't like the name intelligence community. It

447
00:25:22,440 --> 00:25:24,520
Speaker 3: makes it sound like we sit around or just you know,

448
00:25:24,840 --> 00:25:28,240
Speaker 3: bobbing our tea bags and talking about what's going on.

449
00:25:28,440 --> 00:25:31,359
Speaker 3: You know, Oh, there's some people having noisy parties lately,

450
00:25:31,760 --> 00:25:36,840
Speaker 3: like the ICE whatever. I think that it's gotten way

451
00:25:36,880 --> 00:25:38,960
Speaker 3: too First of all, it's way too large, it's far

452
00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:43,320
Speaker 3: too bureaucratic, it is far too slow. It underperforms, it underdelivers,

453
00:25:43,400 --> 00:25:46,720
Speaker 3: it's incredibly expensive, and now it has become a threat

454
00:25:46,760 --> 00:25:49,160
Speaker 3: to the republic itself because it has been used as

455
00:25:49,200 --> 00:25:55,280
Speaker 3: a weapon repeatedly against a one half of the country's

456
00:25:56,040 --> 00:25:59,320
Speaker 3: political wishes, with the Trump administration and the Trump and

457
00:25:59,359 --> 00:26:03,160
Speaker 3: the Trump first term and second term. So I think

458
00:26:03,160 --> 00:26:06,199
Speaker 3: that Tulsi pointing out the fifty one intelligence officers, I

459
00:26:06,200 --> 00:26:11,359
Speaker 3: mean that was, hey, guys, you can trust us. We're

460
00:26:11,400 --> 00:26:12,800
Speaker 3: telling you the truth. And they all lied and they

461
00:26:12,880 --> 00:26:15,600
Speaker 3: knew they were lying, and there should be consequences to

462
00:26:15,680 --> 00:26:19,720
Speaker 3: that for the broader bureaucracy. But also I think those

463
00:26:19,720 --> 00:26:24,320
Speaker 3: individuals should all hang their heads in shame. Of course,

464
00:26:24,640 --> 00:26:27,480
Speaker 3: the Democrats liked them because they serve their purposes in

465
00:26:27,520 --> 00:26:31,960
Speaker 3: twenty twenty, but it's interesting to see people Clay propose

466
00:26:32,040 --> 00:26:36,840
Speaker 3: that Tulsi Gabbard would be incapable of doing this or

467
00:26:36,880 --> 00:26:38,560
Speaker 3: not the right person to do this, and you state

468
00:26:38,600 --> 00:26:41,119
Speaker 3: of yourself, what evidence is there that the people wi

469
00:26:41,119 --> 00:26:44,919
Speaker 3: have had this job before, under both the Biden and

470
00:26:44,960 --> 00:26:48,520
Speaker 3: Obama administrations should have been in charge of anything at all,

471
00:26:48,840 --> 00:26:52,800
Speaker 3: and they got confirmed. So I don't see this as

472
00:26:52,840 --> 00:26:54,760
Speaker 3: an issue. Look, she's gonna have some challenges because she

473
00:26:54,760 --> 00:26:57,439
Speaker 3: doesn't know. I mean, I have five or six more

474
00:26:57,520 --> 00:26:59,520
Speaker 3: years in the intelligence community than Tulsa does, right, so

475
00:27:00,040 --> 00:27:03,560
Speaker 3: I'm a radio host. She doesn't know what she's getting

476
00:27:03,600 --> 00:27:05,720
Speaker 3: into with that at some level, because you can't know

477
00:27:05,840 --> 00:27:08,840
Speaker 3: till you're there, and she's she's going to be a

478
00:27:08,840 --> 00:27:11,119
Speaker 3: total novice in that respect.

479
00:27:11,160 --> 00:27:12,560
Speaker 2: But she was in the military. She's been in the

480
00:27:12,600 --> 00:27:14,080
Speaker 2: military for decades. I mean, she has an.

481
00:27:14,040 --> 00:27:17,760
Speaker 3: Understanding of large bureaucracy, and I think that she also

482
00:27:18,520 --> 00:27:20,320
Speaker 3: to anybody who's being fair in mind, you can come

483
00:27:20,359 --> 00:27:22,960
Speaker 3: at this with the perspective of someone who has not

484
00:27:23,160 --> 00:27:27,679
Speaker 3: been like an avowed trumper or right winger or you know,

485
00:27:27,880 --> 00:27:28,920
Speaker 3: hardcore conservative.

486
00:27:29,040 --> 00:27:29,400
Speaker 2: She was a.

487
00:27:29,359 --> 00:27:32,479
Speaker 3: Democrat running for president what in twenty twenty, I mean,

488
00:27:32,680 --> 00:27:33,440
Speaker 3: she hoped to.

489
00:27:33,440 --> 00:27:37,000
Speaker 1: Be running against Trump in twenty twenty. That's what's so

490
00:27:37,040 --> 00:27:40,159
Speaker 1: staggering about all of this stuff is she ran for

491
00:27:40,240 --> 00:27:43,280
Speaker 1: the nomination in twenty twenty. She could have been the

492
00:27:43,280 --> 00:27:45,080
Speaker 1: Democrat nominee to go against Trump.

493
00:27:45,080 --> 00:27:46,160
Speaker 2: In theory, this.

494
00:27:46,080 --> 00:27:49,920
Speaker 3: Whole thing is an experiment to bringing until very recently

495
00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:53,040
Speaker 3: Democrats into your administration at a very high level. It

496
00:27:53,160 --> 00:27:57,240
Speaker 3: is Trump's decision to make, and I back him on.

497
00:27:57,320 --> 00:27:59,320
Speaker 3: You know, he just won this election. He went through

498
00:27:59,359 --> 00:28:02,520
Speaker 3: all the he ran the gauntlet, won this election, and

499
00:28:02,640 --> 00:28:04,800
Speaker 3: has earned the right to have the team that he wants.

500
00:28:05,640 --> 00:28:06,879
Speaker 2: It is going to be interesting.

501
00:28:07,080 --> 00:28:09,159
Speaker 3: I mean, some of these picks are not the picks

502
00:28:09,200 --> 00:28:11,400
Speaker 3: that I think a lot of people who are lifelong

503
00:28:11,440 --> 00:28:15,280
Speaker 3: Conservatives would have necessarily gone to. But you want disruption,

504
00:28:15,760 --> 00:28:17,920
Speaker 3: you want to change the status quo, you want people

505
00:28:17,960 --> 00:28:18,920
Speaker 3: to shake things up.

506
00:28:19,280 --> 00:28:20,360
Speaker 2: You need a different approach.

507
00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:24,600
Speaker 1: How about the fact, Buck that if they get shot down,

508
00:28:25,280 --> 00:28:29,080
Speaker 1: it's going to be because two former Democrats in RFK

509
00:28:29,320 --> 00:28:36,240
Speaker 1: Junior and Tulsea Gabbard were uniformly opposed by Democrats and

510
00:28:37,160 --> 00:28:39,800
Speaker 1: all of the Republicans didn't line up behind them. Right

511
00:28:39,880 --> 00:28:41,880
Speaker 1: Like this to me, when you just look at this,

512
00:28:41,920 --> 00:28:45,680
Speaker 1: if you're a totally rational human being and not just

513
00:28:45,720 --> 00:28:49,280
Speaker 1: an anti Trump zelot. How can there not be ten

514
00:28:49,400 --> 00:28:55,400
Speaker 1: Democrats that will support seventy four year Democrat RFK Junior

515
00:28:55,880 --> 00:28:59,800
Speaker 1: and all of our life basically Democrat Tulci Gabbard.

516
00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:01,800
Speaker 3: I'm not talking about most is what I'm just a few.

517
00:29:02,400 --> 00:29:04,520
Speaker 3: This is what I was getting at yesterday. I think

518
00:29:04,560 --> 00:29:11,200
Speaker 3: that they are particularly bitter at those that they view

519
00:29:11,760 --> 00:29:15,560
Speaker 3: as having been in the fold, inside the tent, who

520
00:29:15,560 --> 00:29:17,400
Speaker 3: have now gone to the other side. Right, So I

521
00:29:17,680 --> 00:29:20,160
Speaker 3: think they're in some ways. I think Tulsi actually, in

522
00:29:20,200 --> 00:29:25,200
Speaker 3: most ways, I think Tulsi and rfk's former Democrats is

523
00:29:25,320 --> 00:29:27,640
Speaker 3: nothing but held against them by Democrats.

524
00:29:27,720 --> 00:29:27,840
Speaker 7: Right.

525
00:29:27,880 --> 00:29:31,080
Speaker 3: It's they're viewed. They're not viewed as, oh, you're more

526
00:29:31,160 --> 00:29:33,200
Speaker 3: reasonable because you've agreed with By the way, I think

527
00:29:33,280 --> 00:29:35,120
Speaker 3: RFK still agrees with Democrats and a lot of things.

528
00:29:35,160 --> 00:29:35,720
Speaker 2: Put that aside.

529
00:29:35,720 --> 00:29:39,320
Speaker 3: Don't yell at me. It's just the truth. But they

530
00:29:39,400 --> 00:29:43,080
Speaker 3: view it as you switch teams entirely. Therefore you're a trader,

531
00:29:43,440 --> 00:29:45,520
Speaker 3: not oh I can see eye to eye with you

532
00:29:45,560 --> 00:29:48,200
Speaker 3: on some stuff and you're not a dogmatic right winger.

533
00:29:48,240 --> 00:29:50,640
Speaker 3: Like for Democrats, it's all about power and they've gone

534
00:29:50,680 --> 00:29:52,560
Speaker 3: to help Trump. You're helping Trump, You're helping power to

535
00:29:52,560 --> 00:29:54,920
Speaker 3: the other side. Unacceptable. That's all they care about.

536
00:29:56,520 --> 00:29:59,680
Speaker 1: All I care about, Buck in the short term is

537
00:29:59,680 --> 00:30:02,719

Speaker 1: You have I have one vip Yes, this is a

595
00:32:52,120 --> 00:32:56,200
Speaker 1: history nerd VIP. I want to give credit to UH

596
00:32:56,360 --> 00:33:00,400
Speaker 1: to our buddy who wrote this in and said EP

597
00:33:00,680 --> 00:33:04,480
Speaker 1: Scott probably did not expect to hear about bodies getting

598
00:33:04,480 --> 00:33:08,080
Speaker 1: pickled in the eighteen hundreds on the program today, But

599
00:33:08,240 --> 00:33:10,680
Speaker 1: Scott said, and I don't know, I don't remember the tape.

600
00:33:10,720 --> 00:33:13,600
Speaker 1: I think I got this right, but he said, Admiral

601
00:33:13,640 --> 00:33:18,240
Speaker 1: Nelson was killed at the Battle of Trafalgar. His remains

602
00:33:18,280 --> 00:33:22,120
Speaker 1: were put into a cask of rum to preserve it

603
00:33:22,240 --> 00:33:25,360
Speaker 1: for proper burial in England. The cask was put into

604
00:33:25,400 --> 00:33:29,400
Speaker 1: the general hold. The sailors tapped into the cask to

605
00:33:29,520 --> 00:33:33,959
Speaker 1: drink the rum. Henceforth, the rum was named Nelson's Blood.

606
00:33:35,280 --> 00:33:38,720
Speaker 1: That's the most British thing I've ever heard. The famous

607
00:33:38,760 --> 00:33:41,440
Speaker 1: admiral in a cask of rum and then the sailors

608
00:33:41,520 --> 00:33:43,440
Speaker 1: drink it. I mean, can we just eat The British

609
00:33:43,440 --> 00:33:45,720
Speaker 1: guys listening like, oh yeah, that's really British, you know,

610
00:33:45,880 --> 00:33:48,800
Speaker 1: like they're not going to deny that. And now one

611
00:33:48,840 --> 00:33:53,320
Speaker 1: of the most famous places in London is Trafalgar Square.

612
00:33:53,440 --> 00:33:54,840
Speaker 2: Some of you may have visited there.

613
00:33:54,920 --> 00:33:58,720
Speaker 1: They have the statue of Admiral Nelson in the center

614
00:33:58,840 --> 00:34:02,160
Speaker 1: of Trafalgar Square. And I think I connected him to

615
00:34:02,280 --> 00:34:05,560
Speaker 1: Santa Anna, who it must be rum or something that

616
00:34:05,640 --> 00:34:08,320
Speaker 1: his leg was preserved in that he would go visit

617
00:34:09,200 --> 00:34:12,680
Speaker 1: after his leg was amputated. So there you go a

618
00:34:12,719 --> 00:34:15,080
Speaker 1: bunch of knowledge there, But the VIPs. This is a

619
00:34:15,120 --> 00:34:18,560
Speaker 1: great example a lot of history nerds in this audience book.

620
00:34:18,640 --> 00:34:22,719
Speaker 1: Whatever you or I talk about immediately people react to

621
00:34:22,760 --> 00:34:28,120
Speaker 1: it and delugas even when it's something super specific like that, which, probably,

622
00:34:28,560 --> 00:34:31,200
Speaker 1: to be fair, is not something super widely known.

623
00:34:31,600 --> 00:34:33,319
Speaker 3: The good news is that all of you will never

624
00:34:33,440 --> 00:34:36,400
Speaker 3: let us get away with saying a single historically inaccurate

625
00:34:36,400 --> 00:34:38,439
Speaker 3: thing on this show. Ever, it's true that we don't

626
00:34:38,480 --> 00:34:40,880
Speaker 3: have to worry about a real time fact checker because

627
00:34:40,920 --> 00:34:42,920
Speaker 3: all of you, one of you will be like, excuse me,

628
00:34:43,160 --> 00:34:46,320
Speaker 3: you said seventeen ninety nine and you actually meant seventeen

629
00:34:46,400 --> 00:34:48,960
Speaker 3: ninety eight because and fill in the blank, and you

630
00:34:49,000 --> 00:34:51,600
Speaker 3: say to yourself, wow. You guys do a lot of

631
00:34:51,640 --> 00:34:55,319
Speaker 3: reading and you listen very closely, which we appreciate so.

632
00:34:55,640 --> 00:34:58,200
Speaker 1: As we well know, because I can't pronounce anything correctly,

633
00:34:58,239 --> 00:35:00,600
Speaker 1: and trust me, every time I mispronounce it's any word,

634
00:35:00,640 --> 00:35:01,680
Speaker 1: I get emails about it.

635
00:35:01,920 --> 00:35:04,120
Speaker 3: I'm just going to keep on throwing a lot of

636
00:35:04,200 --> 00:35:08,160
Speaker 3: cash in your direction. As we talk about cash. Patel's

637
00:35:08,360 --> 00:35:11,799
Speaker 3: hearing tomorrow, cash like money, cash, All right, we're going

638
00:35:11,880 --> 00:35:14,839
Speaker 3: to get that one. That one's easy to keep going.

639
00:35:15,880 --> 00:35:18,400
Speaker 1: Well, I think that's actually the way it should be pronounced,

640
00:35:18,600 --> 00:35:24,400
Speaker 1: not to all good look at this, I think in

641
00:35:24,560 --> 00:35:28,000
Speaker 1: the yeah, I mean, we got Indian community out there listening.

642
00:35:28,719 --> 00:35:33,239
Speaker 1: I think it's actually cash Patel, and he has pronounced

643
00:35:33,239 --> 00:35:36,279
Speaker 1: it cash because it is a cooler kind of name.

644
00:35:36,719 --> 00:35:41,879
Speaker 1: But Kash, I think traditionally in the Indian community would

645
00:35:41,960 --> 00:35:44,600
Speaker 1: actually be cash. I've got, for instance, a really good

646
00:35:44,960 --> 00:35:48,960
Speaker 1: uh law school friend named a Kash, and I think

647
00:35:49,280 --> 00:35:51,359
Speaker 1: that that's the way it would actually be pronounced. Now,

648
00:35:51,760 --> 00:35:55,920
Speaker 1: is cash a cooler way to pronounce it? Probably, but

649
00:35:56,000 --> 00:35:59,120
Speaker 1: that would be spelled C A s h as in

650
00:35:59,239 --> 00:36:00,400
Speaker 1: cash gosh.

651
00:36:00,880 --> 00:36:02,239
Speaker 2: Eventually, maybe I'll get it right.

652
00:36:02,560 --> 00:36:05,440
Speaker 1: Maybe when he gets confirmed, we'll have him on I

653
00:36:05,520 --> 00:36:08,880
Speaker 1: will ask him if he thought that that pronunciation was cooler,

654
00:36:09,520 --> 00:36:10,640
Speaker 1: and that's how it came to be.

655
00:36:10,880 --> 00:36:13,400
Speaker 3: I mean, it's good to know that if Senator Travis

656
00:36:13,400 --> 00:36:16,960
Speaker 3: were up there on Capitol Hill, he would give Cash

657
00:36:17,040 --> 00:36:21,000
Speaker 3: a long exposition on the various ways.

658
00:36:20,760 --> 00:36:21,800
Speaker 2: That he could choose.

659
00:36:21,960 --> 00:36:24,680
Speaker 3: As a member of the South Asian diaspora into America

660
00:36:24,719 --> 00:36:26,920
Speaker 3: and as an American to pronounce his name.

661
00:36:27,360 --> 00:36:30,080
Speaker 1: How about me maybe knowing the way that the South

662
00:36:30,120 --> 00:36:33,240
Speaker 1: Asian community would actually pronounce that. I think I deserve

663
00:36:33,320 --> 00:36:36,839
Speaker 1: credit given that I mispronounced everything. I actually think I'm

664
00:36:36,880 --> 00:36:41,120
Speaker 1: pronouncing that one correctly and he's changed the pronunciation. Play

665
00:36:41,160 --> 00:36:41,640
Speaker 1: getting a lot.

666
00:36:41,600 --> 00:36:44,680
Speaker 3: Of high fives from our Indian American listeners, So thank

667
