1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,320 Speaker 1: Welcome to today's edition of the Clay Travis and Buck 2 00:00:03,360 --> 00:00:08,360 Speaker 1: Sexton Show podcast, Walking In Tuesday Edition and Clay Trap 3 00:00:08,400 --> 00:00:12,080 Speaker 1: Windnesday Edition. Tuesday. I don't even know what day it is. 4 00:00:12,119 --> 00:00:13,480 Speaker 1: This is a this is a rough this is a 5 00:00:13,600 --> 00:00:17,320 Speaker 1: rough start. Buck. It's Super Bowl week. I know I'm 6 00:00:17,360 --> 00:00:21,560 Speaker 1: traveling out basically right as this show ends, I'll head 7 00:00:21,600 --> 00:00:25,439 Speaker 1: out to Phoenix, and I've already got so many things 8 00:00:25,440 --> 00:00:28,080 Speaker 1: that I've got planned out. I already have forgotten what 9 00:00:28,160 --> 00:00:30,440 Speaker 1: day of the week it is. So it is Tuesday. 10 00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:33,880 Speaker 1: I hope I didn't panic anybody else out there. Almost 11 00:00:33,920 --> 00:00:36,600 Speaker 1: almost a flawless opening by remembering what day it was. 12 00:00:36,800 --> 00:00:40,479 Speaker 1: It is also State of the Union Day, which is 13 00:00:40,520 --> 00:00:44,120 Speaker 1: going to see Joe Biden head up to Capitol Hill, 14 00:00:44,200 --> 00:00:49,040 Speaker 1: and I'm curious whether we'll see remember last year State 15 00:00:49,040 --> 00:00:51,600 Speaker 1: of the Union if I remember correctly ended with Joe 16 00:00:51,640 --> 00:00:56,240 Speaker 1: Biden saying go get them, which everybody was like, what 17 00:00:56,360 --> 00:00:59,680 Speaker 1: exactly was going on there? And we think and we 18 00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:03,960 Speaker 1: think it may have been a message to Biden's handlers 19 00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:09,320 Speaker 1: to go get him up on the dais there speaking, 20 00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:13,960 Speaker 1: but instead he read it thinking it was a part 21 00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:19,680 Speaker 1: of his overall speech. So so many different moving parts here, 22 00:01:20,120 --> 00:01:23,160 Speaker 1: But Buck, I wanted to hit you with this, which 23 00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:29,520 Speaker 1: just came down from CBS. CBS not exactly renowned for 24 00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:36,039 Speaker 1: being biased in favor of anyone out there who is 25 00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:40,080 Speaker 1: a Republican. Ask George W. Bush about that, but they 26 00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:44,600 Speaker 1: asked several questions that to me, make it really hard 27 00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:48,800 Speaker 1: for Joe Biden to argue anything other than the state 28 00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:51,760 Speaker 1: of our union is not very strong. Buck, I'm gonna 29 00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:54,600 Speaker 1: hit you with these. This is as devastating of a 30 00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:58,640 Speaker 1: numbers as I can remember seeing for a sitting president. 31 00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:02,520 Speaker 1: Are your own our Biden's policies, This is the question 32 00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:07,440 Speaker 1: from CBS, Our Biden's policies making your own family's finances 33 00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:14,200 Speaker 1: better or worse? Better eighteen percent worse, forty nine percent? 34 00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:19,079 Speaker 1: Making political division? Remember Joe Biden ran on, I'll get 35 00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:22,880 Speaker 1: everybody back together again. I'm gonna be normal. I'm gonna 36 00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:26,480 Speaker 1: end this divisive era that we live in. Are Joe 37 00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:32,320 Speaker 1: Biden's policies making political division better or worse? Better? Nineteen 38 00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:37,440 Speaker 1: percent worse, fifty percent? And this one. And I'm gonna 39 00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:39,080 Speaker 1: build on this one a little bit more, Buck, because 40 00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:41,840 Speaker 1: I know you'll love it, given your focus on the border, 41 00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:48,200 Speaker 1: making a legal immigration better or worse better twenty one percent, 42 00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:52,040 Speaker 1: worse fifty one percent, and let me build on this 43 00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:56,360 Speaker 1: immigration for you Buck. They then broke it down by 44 00:02:56,440 --> 00:03:00,960 Speaker 1: everybody's parties out there. Do you think the Biden administration 45 00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:05,080 Speaker 1: should be tougher or easier on immigrants trying to cross 46 00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:11,960 Speaker 1: at the border? Tougher fifty four percent, easier twenty percent. Buck. 47 00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:16,080 Speaker 1: Democrats by ten points think that Biden should be tougher 48 00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:20,840 Speaker 1: at the border. Not surprisingly, the GOP eighty three to 49 00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:26,000 Speaker 1: eleven says tougher Independent voters fifty three to twenty three, 50 00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:31,760 Speaker 1: tougher White sixty one, nineteen Black forty to twenty one, 51 00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:36,720 Speaker 1: Hispanic forty four to twenty five. As bad as Joe 52 00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:41,320 Speaker 1: Biden's policies are, he has managed to unite the entire 53 00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:45,720 Speaker 1: country in believing that he is awful on many things, 54 00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:48,880 Speaker 1: but that the worst single thing that Joe Biden is 55 00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:52,080 Speaker 1: doing in his presidency right now is handling the border. 56 00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:55,720 Speaker 1: I just thought, even from CBS, these were pretty staggering 57 00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:59,840 Speaker 1: numbers that came out today, and here we are watching 58 00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:04,440 Speaker 1: as the preparations for the State of the Union address tonight. 59 00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:11,000 Speaker 1: Clay for this regime includes re erecting the big black 60 00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:14,480 Speaker 1: fence around the grounds of the Capitol. Do you see 61 00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:17,719 Speaker 1: this they're actually this morning. Yeah, they're they're setting up 62 00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:23,040 Speaker 1: the anti riot fencing around the Capitol because of the insurrection. Uh, 63 00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:27,040 Speaker 1: They're they're really doing this. And as much as people 64 00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:31,839 Speaker 1: of reasonable minds and emotional stability can see this and 65 00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:37,960 Speaker 1: understand the pathetic theatrics that it is comprised of, I 66 00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:40,200 Speaker 1: think unfortunately. You know, we look at all this data, 67 00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:42,400 Speaker 1: we look at how people feel about the economy, and 68 00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:45,960 Speaker 1: then we see them preparing for the siege of what's 69 00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:49,000 Speaker 1: going on at the Capitol. State of the Union address tonight, 70 00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:50,560 Speaker 1: which is going to be boring. You and I will 71 00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:53,400 Speaker 1: watch it. I do not recommend that everybody else. I'll 72 00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:55,800 Speaker 1: tell everybody, don't waste your time watching the State of 73 00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:57,920 Speaker 1: the Union dress. Clay and I will watch it, and 74 00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:00,839 Speaker 1: we will tell you whatever is interesting about tomorrow, it 75 00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:03,159 Speaker 1: is not worth your I was gonna say watch football instead, 76 00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:05,120 Speaker 1: but I guess there's only one game left in football 77 00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:08,479 Speaker 1: because I know about that one Super Bowl is coming. 78 00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:11,520 Speaker 1: You know who's playing. Do you remember the Kansas City 79 00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:17,440 Speaker 1: Chiefs and another and very good team. I've actually impressed 80 00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:19,880 Speaker 1: you got one of the two. The eagles. Thank you, fly, 81 00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:24,000 Speaker 1: Eagle fly, my beloved eagles, the majestic bird, of course. 82 00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:28,040 Speaker 1: So here we are, they're watching all this unfold with 83 00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:32,320 Speaker 1: the Biden administration, and it feels a bit like there 84 00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:35,560 Speaker 1: must be either some plan or some reality that we're 85 00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:39,279 Speaker 1: not necessarily taking note of, because all these polls indicate 86 00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:43,320 Speaker 1: a regime that is floundering. But we did not see 87 00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:47,279 Speaker 1: a Democrat party that got its butt kicked like all 88 00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:50,600 Speaker 1: the polls were showing in the midterm election. And so 89 00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:53,400 Speaker 1: I'm also now I'm very I'm more skeptical of polls 90 00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:56,280 Speaker 1: now than honestly I have ever been. I was skeptical 91 00:05:56,440 --> 00:05:58,800 Speaker 1: after what happened in twenty sixteen, obviously, but that was 92 00:05:58,839 --> 00:06:01,120 Speaker 1: a happy skeptic, says, I'm like, oh, look at them, 93 00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:04,760 Speaker 1: they're wrong. This time around, it proved that people can 94 00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:07,360 Speaker 1: get it wrong, and the pulsers will get it wrong 95 00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:09,960 Speaker 1: in both directions. That was one of the lessons learned. 96 00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:13,720 Speaker 1: And it just feels to me like for all of 97 00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:18,960 Speaker 1: the idiocy and the incompetence of the Biden administration and 98 00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:23,040 Speaker 1: the hysteria they surround them themselves with, well, they're mean, 99 00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:26,360 Speaker 1: they're erecting anti riot fencing around the Capitol, you know, 100 00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:28,840 Speaker 1: get a grip lives where any riots after the last 101 00:06:28,839 --> 00:06:34,159 Speaker 1: election just calm down. But you know, they're nefarious and 102 00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:37,880 Speaker 1: they're ruthless, and they're organized and they move as a collective, 103 00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:41,120 Speaker 1: and so I just don't want us to underestimate them, because, yeah, 104 00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:45,560 Speaker 1: Biden sucks at the job. Biden could very easily get 105 00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:49,719 Speaker 1: reelected president of the United States of this country unless 106 00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:52,720 Speaker 1: we make the case and have an agenda and do 107 00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:55,520 Speaker 1: everything right, you know. I just that's where my head 108 00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:58,200 Speaker 1: is with all this, right, like, yeah, he's terrible, Yeah, 109 00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:00,800 Speaker 1: the Poles show it. Does that mean he's gonna lose? 110 00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:03,839 Speaker 1: Does that mean that they'll actually have to seed power 111 00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:06,320 Speaker 1: to the other side? I just I feel like we 112 00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:08,000 Speaker 1: need to be very sanguine about it. I feel like 113 00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:09,800 Speaker 1: we have to make sure that we look at it 114 00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:12,760 Speaker 1: for what it is, not for what we wish it 115 00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:15,800 Speaker 1: would be, based upon the truth of the economy and 116 00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:17,720 Speaker 1: the truth of the boy. How much worse could the 117 00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:21,160 Speaker 1: border be Clay, Could it be worse? Honestly, no, I 118 00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:23,320 Speaker 1: don't think it could be worse. And I mean that's 119 00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:26,760 Speaker 1: really this is effectively the start of Joe Biden's reelection 120 00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:29,560 Speaker 1: campaign the State of the Union right, because he's going 121 00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:32,720 Speaker 1: to make his case for twenty twenty three. There are 122 00:07:32,760 --> 00:07:35,120 Speaker 1: already reports that he's going to call, for instance, for 123 00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:37,840 Speaker 1: a billionaire's tax. There will be several things that he 124 00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:40,520 Speaker 1: puts in the State of the Union that he knows 125 00:07:40,640 --> 00:07:44,200 Speaker 1: have absolutely no chance of passing, because he wants that 126 00:07:44,280 --> 00:07:47,040 Speaker 1: to be the message coming out for twenty twenty three 127 00:07:47,080 --> 00:07:51,200 Speaker 1: as we roll into twenty twenty four, and so I 128 00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:54,400 Speaker 1: don't think there's any doubt at all, barring a major 129 00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:59,160 Speaker 1: health related setback, that Democrats are all in on Joe Biden. 130 00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:02,160 Speaker 1: And I think we talked about this some, but I'm 131 00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:05,160 Speaker 1: surprised it hasn't gotten more attention. The fact that they 132 00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:10,000 Speaker 1: remade the order of the primary season for twenty twenty 133 00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:13,720 Speaker 1: four so that South Carolina is first, which is Joe 134 00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:18,560 Speaker 1: Biden's most reliable of all the locations. Remember, he did 135 00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:21,320 Speaker 1: awful in Iowa, he did awful in New Hampshire, and 136 00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:26,840 Speaker 1: so they've recast the DNC has the overall primaries for 137 00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:30,960 Speaker 1: the Democrats to basically ensure that even if Joe Biden 138 00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:33,720 Speaker 1: were to get a challenger, he would be able to 139 00:08:33,760 --> 00:08:37,600 Speaker 1: snuff out that challenger very quickly. Now maybe somebody still 140 00:08:37,679 --> 00:08:40,160 Speaker 1: is going to run against him. I saw where Mary 141 00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:45,240 Speaker 1: Ann Williamson, remember her, the sort of new age guru 142 00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:47,400 Speaker 1: for lack of a better way to describe her, She 143 00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:51,320 Speaker 1: ran a couple of years ago, and it sounds like 144 00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:53,640 Speaker 1: she may run again. We've talked about the idea of 145 00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:57,680 Speaker 1: Eric Adams, but a lot of the legitimate big time 146 00:08:57,720 --> 00:09:03,319 Speaker 1: contenders have dropped out of this race, and so it 147 00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:06,320 Speaker 1: now looks like they basically cleared the decks for Joe Biden, 148 00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:09,520 Speaker 1: and barring a major health issue, Joe Biden is going 149 00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:12,120 Speaker 1: to be the nominee in twenty twenty four, and so 150 00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:16,319 Speaker 1: this is his beginning stage to make the case that 151 00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:20,000 Speaker 1: he is the best to take us into the next 152 00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:22,880 Speaker 1: four years. And because I think effectively a buck you 153 00:09:22,920 --> 00:09:25,359 Speaker 1: agree with this. By and large, we're in a gridlock 154 00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:29,080 Speaker 1: to era that chances of anything substantial coming out in 155 00:09:29,160 --> 00:09:34,040 Speaker 1: twenty three or twenty four very low. Yeah, I think 156 00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:37,079 Speaker 1: that that's where we are. You know, we're in a 157 00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:41,959 Speaker 1: political trench warfare and we're trying to fight over a 158 00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:45,040 Speaker 1: hundred yards of territory. But unlike in trench warfare, whoever 159 00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:48,040 Speaker 1: gets that hundred yards of territory gets to actually call 160 00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:50,760 Speaker 1: the shots for four years, right, So it matters a 161 00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:53,880 Speaker 1: whole lot, but the margins are very small. The we're 162 00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:57,400 Speaker 1: on a razor's edge for what will determine the political 163 00:09:57,480 --> 00:09:59,960 Speaker 1: and with it, the rest of the future of this country. 164 00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:02,800 Speaker 1: I think that's very meaningful for us all to understand. 165 00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:06,880 Speaker 1: So I'm hopeful that the right will not only be 166 00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:11,800 Speaker 1: effective in producing I mean, what is our healthcare program? 167 00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:13,760 Speaker 1: I mean, these are things. Do you hear anyone even 168 00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:16,320 Speaker 1: talking about that right now? Clay and I can't remember 169 00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:19,560 Speaker 1: the last time I heard a politician on the right, 170 00:10:20,040 --> 00:10:24,480 Speaker 1: any Republican, any Conservative, anybody speak meaningfully about healthcare In 171 00:10:24,559 --> 00:10:26,920 Speaker 1: all the polling, that's one of the biggest concerns for people. Look, 172 00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:30,360 Speaker 1: I'm glad that Kevin McCarthy is saying social Security and 173 00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:33,280 Speaker 1: Medicare cuts are off the table right now, because anything 174 00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:35,480 Speaker 1: other than that is just electoral suicide, right. I mean, 175 00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:37,000 Speaker 1: if you want to lose, if you want to lose, 176 00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:39,200 Speaker 1: start saying, well, let's let's just you know, deal with 177 00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:41,960 Speaker 1: Medicare right now. That's a terrible idea. But we are 178 00:10:42,120 --> 00:10:45,160 Speaker 1: entering a presidential election cycle. I know it seems crazy 179 00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:47,560 Speaker 1: because we just had our midterm election, but we had 180 00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:50,600 Speaker 1: said this all along, and I just think that we 181 00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:56,440 Speaker 1: need to see not only a program that is make 182 00:10:56,920 --> 00:11:00,960 Speaker 1: well rather, that is putting America first for the Republican Party, 183 00:11:01,360 --> 00:11:06,960 Speaker 1: that is conducive and is compelling, compelling rather to people 184 00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:10,040 Speaker 1: in the middle, but also that we understand where the 185 00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:13,120 Speaker 1: Democrats were able to with a weak economy and with 186 00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:18,120 Speaker 1: a stumbling, bumbling buffoon as the president, to avoid a 187 00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:21,000 Speaker 1: midterm wipeout. You know, we have to be very steel 188 00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:22,800 Speaker 1: ayed about that as we look at all the polls 189 00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:25,319 Speaker 1: and everything else, because I think, did you do you 190 00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:27,040 Speaker 1: agree with this? I think we're going into a kind 191 00:11:27,040 --> 00:11:31,080 Speaker 1: of economy right now. I don't. I don't see it. 192 00:11:31,160 --> 00:11:33,959 Speaker 1: And who knows, right, I mean, if you want predictions 193 00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:36,199 Speaker 1: that are wrong, to look back at most major economists, 194 00:11:36,760 --> 00:11:39,560 Speaker 1: I think it's probably gonna just be kind of okay. Yeah. 195 00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:43,040 Speaker 1: If it's just okay, then it turns into what is 196 00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:45,760 Speaker 1: that last one or two percent decide when they're in 197 00:11:45,920 --> 00:11:48,600 Speaker 1: the election side. What does that last one or two 198 00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:51,360 Speaker 1: percent of the electorate think about when they're actually pulling 199 00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:54,960 Speaker 1: the lever. Yeah, And I think you're right. I think 200 00:11:54,960 --> 00:11:57,320 Speaker 1: it's gonna be blah. But you know, Joe Biden's going 201 00:11:57,400 --> 00:11:59,640 Speaker 1: to go out and say, well, we've got fourteen million 202 00:11:59,720 --> 00:12:01,839 Speaker 1: new jobs or whatever the heck it is. Again new 203 00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:05,000 Speaker 1: jobs being defined mostly as people who already had the 204 00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:08,160 Speaker 1: jobs that they weren't allowed to have because Blue states 205 00:12:08,160 --> 00:12:14,079 Speaker 1: were shut down and and so look, to me, the 206 00:12:14,120 --> 00:12:17,640 Speaker 1: Democrat line is set. There's not going to be a 207 00:12:17,679 --> 00:12:20,320 Speaker 1: lot of drama barring a health scare. In my opinion, 208 00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:23,439 Speaker 1: from Joe Biden, They're gonna run him. I think it's crazy, 209 00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:26,200 Speaker 1: but they're gonna run him. The best option all of 210 00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:28,040 Speaker 1: the drama is going to come in the next year 211 00:12:28,040 --> 00:12:30,640 Speaker 1: out of the Republican side of the equation, because I 212 00:12:30,679 --> 00:12:35,400 Speaker 1: believe whoever Republicans pick will beat Joe Biden. I really 213 00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:38,920 Speaker 1: do in twenty twenty four. The question is by how 214 00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:42,679 Speaker 1: much and to what degree are we all sitting up 215 00:12:42,720 --> 00:12:45,200 Speaker 1: at you know, two thirty in the morning waiting to 216 00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:47,920 Speaker 1: see what a few people in Scranton, Pennsylvania decided to 217 00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:51,520 Speaker 1: do in the election. You know, I would like to 218 00:12:51,640 --> 00:12:54,280 Speaker 1: this is my book, Buck. I want to win a landslide. 219 00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:56,480 Speaker 1: I don't. I want to be able at nine o'clock 220 00:12:56,559 --> 00:12:58,880 Speaker 1: to you know, start having drinks and not have to 221 00:12:58,920 --> 00:13:01,400 Speaker 1: worry about whether the fire alarms going to come on 222 00:13:01,800 --> 00:13:04,080 Speaker 1: in Fulton County outside of it when you know in 223 00:13:04,120 --> 00:13:07,360 Speaker 1: Atlanta and whether we're going to have ballots come pouring 224 00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:10,520 Speaker 1: in at three am that change the outcome in Wisconsin. 225 00:13:10,559 --> 00:13:13,440 Speaker 1: I wanted to be outside the margin of error. But 226 00:13:13,760 --> 00:13:15,960 Speaker 1: that's going to be the choice that Republicans have to 227 00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:18,080 Speaker 1: make in twenty twenty three. Who is the guy or 228 00:13:18,120 --> 00:13:20,720 Speaker 1: the girl who is going to beat Joe Biden, because 229 00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:22,640 Speaker 1: that's going to be the matchup on the Democrat side. 230 00:13:24,120 --> 00:13:26,240 Speaker 1: My friends, When I switched my cell phone service from 231 00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:28,240 Speaker 1: one of the big brand name companies of pure Talk, 232 00:13:28,400 --> 00:13:30,200 Speaker 1: I knew I was going to get a better monthly price. 233 00:13:30,440 --> 00:13:33,800 Speaker 1: From day one, I was saving over fifty percent each month. 234 00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:36,360 Speaker 1: But what I was also getting with superior cell phone 235 00:13:36,400 --> 00:13:40,359 Speaker 1: service and access to a fantastic customer service support team. 236 00:13:40,440 --> 00:13:42,440 Speaker 1: Everyone on the pure Talk team is based in the 237 00:13:42,559 --> 00:13:45,439 Speaker 1: US and they're easy and helpful to talk to.

Clay mentioned him in the last segment. He 255 00:14:36,920 --> 00:14:39,560 Speaker 1: slept in the Brooklyn Cruise terminal with the migrants. Did 256 00:14:39,560 --> 00:14:42,320 Speaker 1: you see this claim? Just to show that it's all okay, 257 00:14:42,360 --> 00:14:45,360 Speaker 1: they're the mayor slept. Oh, he did a sleepover and 258 00:14:45,480 --> 00:14:48,560 Speaker 1: overnight in the Brooklyn Cruise terminal. We could talk about 259 00:14:48,640 --> 00:14:56,000 Speaker 1: that in a little bit. Also Translive, Translives Matter protesters 260 00:14:56,680 --> 00:15:03,280 Speaker 1: have stormed and occupied the Clahoma State Capital because of 261 00:15:03,400 --> 00:15:09,720 Speaker 1: bills under consideration in the Oklahoma state legislature about transgender 262 00:15:09,880 --> 00:15:13,960 Speaker 1: surgery and hormones for well, there's a bunch of different bills. 263 00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:16,160 Speaker 1: You have to be careful because if you say one thing, 264 00:15:16,640 --> 00:15:18,520 Speaker 1: they'll say, well, that's not what it does. There are 265 00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:23,080 Speaker 1: several bills. We can get into the variations. We will. 266 00:15:23,120 --> 00:15:26,480 Speaker 1: We'll bring you up to speed on this and we'll see. 267 00:15:26,760 --> 00:15:30,000 Speaker 1: We'll reach out to the Governor of Oklahoma, Kevin Stitt, 268 00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:31,880 Speaker 1: to see if maybe he can join us in progress 269 00:15:31,920 --> 00:15:36,160 Speaker 1: during the show. Needless to say, with the capital full 270 00:15:36,160 --> 00:15:39,240 Speaker 1: of shrieking protester, it's gonna be a busy day for 271 00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:41,800 Speaker 1: the governor, I can imagine. But we'll see if he 272 00:15:41,880 --> 00:15:44,360 Speaker 1: might feel to make some time for us. But that's 273 00:15:44,440 --> 00:15:47,200 Speaker 1: obviously a big news story than Clay there. There's even 274 00:15:47,240 --> 00:15:50,240 Speaker 1: more now. They've got photos of the F twenty two Raptor, 275 00:15:50,760 --> 00:15:55,080 Speaker 1: probably the most incredible air to air dominance plane ever, 276 00:15:55,320 --> 00:15:58,000 Speaker 1: and it's now being phased out. That seems like, given 277 00:15:58,040 --> 00:15:59,960 Speaker 1: what's going on with China, it seems like a great idea. 278 00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:02,680 Speaker 1: Let's go with the you know, the the F thirty 279 00:16:02,720 --> 00:16:06,600 Speaker 1: five program, which everybody says is inferior. I'm sure there's 280 00:16:06,600 --> 00:16:08,480 Speaker 1: some Air Force guys who were shouting right now, either 281 00:16:08,520 --> 00:16:11,040 Speaker 1: I'm right or I'm wrong. But anyway, the F twenty 282 00:16:11,040 --> 00:16:15,120 Speaker 1: two shot down that Chinese balloon. There's a whole lot 283 00:16:15,160 --> 00:16:19,440 Speaker 1: more information that's coming out about this and what we've 284 00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:21,200 Speaker 1: we've seen. I think at this point for sure on 285 00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:26,280 Speaker 1: the balloon, Clay is the Biden administration was either caught 286 00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:28,920 Speaker 1: totally off guard by some aspects of this and said 287 00:16:28,960 --> 00:16:32,000 Speaker 1: things that they thought were true that weren't, or they 288 00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:34,760 Speaker 1: were just lying, or they were just lying to people 289 00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:38,040 Speaker 1: about what was really going on here. I think I 290 00:16:38,080 --> 00:16:39,640 Speaker 1: think that's something we're gonna have to dig into a 291 00:16:39,680 --> 00:16:44,320 Speaker 1: little bit. Yeah, honestly, I think it's actually an important story. 292 00:16:44,440 --> 00:16:47,640 Speaker 1: And we talked yesterday with the acting Defense Secretary at 293 00:16:47,640 --> 00:16:51,200 Speaker 1: the end of the Trump administration about whether they had 294 00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:55,640 Speaker 1: any clue that some of these Chinese spy balloons ever 295 00:16:55,720 --> 00:16:59,200 Speaker 1: traversed US territory. And I think CNN had the story 296 00:16:59,280 --> 00:17:03,000 Speaker 1: up buck if I'm not mistaken, where it was very different, right, 297 00:17:03,080 --> 00:17:06,280 Speaker 1: Like the Chinese spy balloon may have gone a little 298 00:17:06,320 --> 00:17:10,399 Speaker 1: bit into Hawaii territory and then also may have come 299 00:17:10,600 --> 00:17:15,280 Speaker 1: across Florida a little bit, but it's nothing compared to Hey, 300 00:17:15,320 --> 00:17:20,000 Speaker 1: we entered in Alaska, and we spent six days slowly 301 00:17:20,080 --> 00:17:23,199 Speaker 1: having this Chinese spy balloon traversed the entirety of the 302 00:17:23,320 --> 00:17:27,240 Speaker 1: United States. It's quite a bit different. And how do 303 00:17:27,320 --> 00:17:30,360 Speaker 1: we spend eight hundred and fifty billion dollars a year. 304 00:17:30,400 --> 00:17:33,280 Speaker 1: The thing that I'm most concerned about is when did 305 00:17:33,320 --> 00:17:36,760 Speaker 1: we know that this Chinese spy balloon entered into the 306 00:17:36,880 --> 00:17:40,919 Speaker 1: United States? And if we didn't know, why didn't we? 307 00:17:41,640 --> 00:17:45,080 Speaker 1: But this thing should have been shot down immediately in Alaska, 308 00:17:45,240 --> 00:17:51,280 Speaker 1: where there are massive areas that are uninhabited and buck 309 00:17:51,359 --> 00:17:54,560 Speaker 1: We could have done this potentially without the media ever 310 00:17:54,640 --> 00:17:58,240 Speaker 1: needing to know at all, and without creating an international incident, 311 00:17:58,320 --> 00:18:01,160 Speaker 1: keeping this all under the radar that it had ever occurred, 312 00:18:01,200 --> 00:18:04,399 Speaker 1: instead of becoming a massive story like it did. But 313 00:18:04,440 --> 00:18:06,760 Speaker 1: in the meantime, if you own a small business with 314 00:18:06,800 --> 00:18:08,800 Speaker 1: five or more employees and you managed to make it 315 00:18:08,880 --> 00:18:12,800 Speaker 1: through COVID and all this crazy inflation, you could be 316 00:18:12,840 --> 00:18:15,320 Speaker 1: eligible to receive a payroll tax rebate of up to 317 00:18:15,400 --> 00:18:19,160 Speaker 1: twenty six thousand dollars per employee.

My mom actually texted me this suggestion. 337 00:19:35,640 --> 00:19:40,200 Speaker 1: Would it be permissible for any members of the Republican 338 00:19:40,320 --> 00:19:44,680 Speaker 1: House to walk into the State of the Union with 339 00:19:45,320 --> 00:19:48,560 Speaker 1: a small white balloon? You know, like you would give 340 00:19:48,600 --> 00:19:52,159 Speaker 1: to a young child attached to their wrist or holding 341 00:19:52,200 --> 00:19:55,879 Speaker 1: it in their hand to point out the Chinese balloon. 342 00:19:56,000 --> 00:19:58,760 Speaker 1: I mean that I think that would actually be pretty funny. 343 00:19:59,040 --> 00:20:01,280 Speaker 1: I don't know what the rules are about whether you're 344 00:20:01,320 --> 00:20:04,280 Speaker 1: allowed to walk in with a you know what I'm 345 00:20:04,280 --> 00:20:07,040 Speaker 1: talking about, like a kid's balloon that you would get 346 00:20:07,080 --> 00:20:09,679 Speaker 1: if you were at like a kid's birthday party or 347 00:20:09,720 --> 00:20:14,679 Speaker 1: something funny or not funny in your mind. If a 348 00:20:14,760 --> 00:20:18,280 Speaker 1: Republican member came in with a white balloon, or if 349 00:20:18,440 --> 00:20:22,800 Speaker 1: multiple Republican members had, like, you know, kid white balloons 350 00:20:22,840 --> 00:20:25,119 Speaker 1: with them for purposes of the state of the Union, 351 00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:26,480 Speaker 1: I mean, it would be even funny. Or do you 352 00:20:26,520 --> 00:20:29,800 Speaker 1: remember the big Trump baby balloon they had there a 353 00:20:29,840 --> 00:20:31,920 Speaker 1: lot of memes, a lot of memes over the weekend 354 00:20:31,920 --> 00:20:34,360 Speaker 1: about how Trump should send over the Trump baby balloon, 355 00:20:35,359 --> 00:20:37,560 Speaker 1: which the whole thing was was very funny and Trump 356 00:20:37,600 --> 00:20:39,120 Speaker 1: actually had a sense if you were about I think 357 00:20:39,160 --> 00:20:42,080 Speaker 1: Don Junior retweeted a meme about that too because he 358 00:20:42,119 --> 00:20:44,960 Speaker 1: thought it was amusing as well. Yeah, I would do 359 00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:47,399 Speaker 1: a little good nature, a good little good nature trolling 360 00:20:47,480 --> 00:20:50,320 Speaker 1: up the Democrats on this occasion, if possible, I might 361 00:20:50,320 --> 00:20:52,600 Speaker 1: tru up I want, I probably don't allow people to 362 00:20:52,640 --> 00:20:55,520 Speaker 1: have placards or balloons or anything. I didn't. I don't 363 00:20:55,520 --> 00:20:58,359 Speaker 1: know what the official rules are on state of the Union, 364 00:20:58,440 --> 00:21:02,960 Speaker 1: because yeah, they may be that it is impermissible to do, 365 00:21:03,080 --> 00:21:05,360 Speaker 1: but it would be actually kind of funny to see 366 00:21:05,359 --> 00:21:08,800 Speaker 1: if somebody did it. All right, So, Karine Jean Pierre, 367 00:21:09,320 --> 00:21:14,400 Speaker 1: who is the worst White House press secretary I think 368 00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:17,280 Speaker 1: that any of us can ever imagine. And she got 369 00:21:17,320 --> 00:21:21,200 Speaker 1: her job, let's be honest, because of her race, her gender, 370 00:21:21,240 --> 00:21:26,760 Speaker 1: and her sexuality. Karine Jean Pierre is Joe Biden's diversity 371 00:21:26,880 --> 00:21:31,800 Speaker 1: higher as his as his White House spokesperson. Again, she 372 00:21:31,960 --> 00:21:35,399 Speaker 1: got it. I did not think that that, you know, 373 00:21:35,880 --> 00:21:38,600 Speaker 1: Karine Jean Pierre was going to be that much worse 374 00:21:38,920 --> 00:21:42,000 Speaker 1: than the other White House press secretaries. And to be fair, 375 00:21:42,680 --> 00:21:46,359 Speaker 1: she is in a really difficult position because the Biden 376 00:21:46,400 --> 00:21:51,040 Speaker 1: White House is quite incompetent, but she was. She regularly 377 00:21:51,119 --> 00:21:55,760 Speaker 1: gets asked buck about the most important issue, the one 378 00:21:55,800 --> 00:21:58,840 Speaker 1: that's on the front page of the newspaper, the one 379 00:21:58,880 --> 00:22:02,320 Speaker 1: that you would think you would have a prepared answer for, 380 00:22:02,520 --> 00:22:06,159 Speaker 1: because it's not exactly like these questions come out of nowhere. 381 00:22:06,240 --> 00:22:08,800 Speaker 1: I understand if you get asked about I'm just gonna, 382 00:22:08,880 --> 00:22:12,359 Speaker 1: you know, toss something out about, you know, water policy 383 00:22:12,600 --> 00:22:16,600 Speaker 1: and Angola, like oh, okay, well, you're probably not expecting 384 00:22:16,640 --> 00:22:19,080 Speaker 1: water policy in Angola to come up as a question. 385 00:22:19,160 --> 00:22:22,280 Speaker 1: Just throwing something random out there. Getting asked about the 386 00:22:22,359 --> 00:22:27,240 Speaker 1: Chinese balloon is literally the most expected question you could 387 00:22:27,280 --> 00:22:29,719 Speaker 1: be asked about. Buck Listen. I don't even know if 388 00:22:29,720 --> 00:22:32,520 Speaker 1: you've heard this yet. Listen to Karine Jean Pierre when 389 00:22:32,560 --> 00:22:36,440 Speaker 1: she has asked about whether the Trump people were informed 390 00:22:36,640 --> 00:22:41,160 Speaker 1: or knew about these allowed supposed incursions by Chinese balloons. 391 00:22:41,760 --> 00:22:46,479 Speaker 1: It is a disaster. So look, I think that and 392 00:22:46,480 --> 00:22:50,359 Speaker 1: we have talked about this before about how when the 393 00:22:50,400 --> 00:22:55,640 Speaker 1: PRC government surveillance balloons trans trans transited the continental US 394 00:22:55,720 --> 00:22:58,000 Speaker 1: briefly at least three times as you just mentioned, during 395 00:22:58,040 --> 00:23:02,239 Speaker 1: the president's prior administration, and once that we know of 396 00:23:02,280 --> 00:23:05,960 Speaker 1: the beginning of this administrations, but never for this duration 397 00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:09,320 Speaker 1: of time. As we know, this information was discovered prior 398 00:23:09,400 --> 00:23:14,240 Speaker 1: to the administration left. But the intelligence community, as I said, 399 00:23:14,320 --> 00:23:18,720 Speaker 1: is prepared to give briefing sukey officials, but this is 400 00:23:18,760 --> 00:23:21,679 Speaker 1: something that they did not they were not aware of 401 00:23:21,840 --> 00:23:26,040 Speaker 1: as as we've just laid out. Okay, so she's stumbling 402 00:23:26,119 --> 00:23:30,080 Speaker 1: all through this. But but she seemed to say, even 403 00:23:30,160 --> 00:23:36,280 Speaker 1: in the midst of that word salad, that actually they 404 00:23:36,520 --> 00:23:40,240 Speaker 1: withheld the information. I mean, it's hard to even understand 405 00:23:40,240 --> 00:23:42,920 Speaker 1: exactly what she's saying there, but it sounds like she's 406 00:23:42,920 --> 00:23:47,240 Speaker 1: saying that they withheld the information from the Trump administration 407 00:23:47,359 --> 00:23:51,520 Speaker 1: that these Chinese balloons had been found. And or she 408 00:23:51,640 --> 00:23:55,040 Speaker 1: might also be saying, because it's a jumble there, that 409 00:23:55,600 --> 00:23:58,560 Speaker 1: this was not discovered until after the Trump White House 410 00:23:58,840 --> 00:24:05,760 Speaker 1: team had left. Either one is incredibly scary. I think 411 00:24:05,840 --> 00:24:09,439 Speaker 1: in general, either they weren't telling the president because they 412 00:24:09,440 --> 00:24:12,280 Speaker 1: were worried about what he might do, or they didn't 413 00:24:12,280 --> 00:24:15,720 Speaker 1: know this was happening. I'm not sure which is worse. Yes, well, 414 00:24:15,880 --> 00:24:19,960 Speaker 1: this reminds me of something that used to occur during 415 00:24:20,000 --> 00:24:24,560 Speaker 1: the Trump administration when the hashtag resistance remember them, you know, 416 00:24:24,640 --> 00:24:29,480 Speaker 1: working behind the scenes to prevent nuclear catastrophe by undermining 417 00:24:29,520 --> 00:24:32,520 Speaker 1: the duly elected president of the United States, Donald Trump. 418 00:24:33,160 --> 00:24:37,080 Speaker 1: They would talk about ways that they would either ignore 419 00:24:37,480 --> 00:24:42,439 Speaker 1: or subvert his ability to be the president. They wouldn't 420 00:24:42,440 --> 00:24:44,560 Speaker 1: tell him certain things, and they thought they were heroes 421 00:24:44,600 --> 00:24:48,040 Speaker 1: for that. And they would even decide to withhold information 422 00:24:48,119 --> 00:24:50,199 Speaker 1: from him that was something else that they remember that 423 00:24:50,200 --> 00:24:52,800 Speaker 1: there was a whole storyline of we're concerned about telling 424 00:24:52,800 --> 00:24:56,959 Speaker 1: Trump things because he'll spill that classified by, you know, 425 00:24:57,520 --> 00:25:01,800 Speaker 1: recklessly or something. And times had a op ed from 426 00:25:01,880 --> 00:25:05,480 Speaker 1: someone inside of the Trump white who was a shmow 427 00:25:05,680 --> 00:25:07,600 Speaker 1: by the way. I mean, you know, that was one 428 00:25:07,600 --> 00:25:10,560 Speaker 1: of the things I remember the the the anonymous staffer. Yes, 429 00:25:10,600 --> 00:25:14,280 Speaker 1: and he's like, I'm a I'm a senior Trump administration 430 00:25:14,480 --> 00:25:17,919 Speaker 1: staffer and I'm working day and night to save America. 431 00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:20,880 Speaker 1: And it's like you're a glorified intern kid. Calm down, 432 00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:23,480 Speaker 1: you know, like when they treated it, Remember all the 433 00:25:23,560 --> 00:25:26,520 Speaker 1: speculation about who it was and who exactly, I mean, 434 00:25:26,600 --> 00:25:28,480 Speaker 1: as if it were gonna be, you know, somebody in 435 00:25:28,520 --> 00:25:30,119 Speaker 1: a real pile. I knew a lot of people. We 436 00:25:30,200 --> 00:25:31,920 Speaker 1: both knew a lot of people in that White House, 437 00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:34,680 Speaker 1: all folks in the com shop and the domestic policy 438 00:25:34,720 --> 00:25:37,400 Speaker 1: shop at the high level. I never heard I never 439 00:25:37,440 --> 00:25:39,720 Speaker 1: heard of that guy before. But it's like I'm single 440 00:25:39,760 --> 00:25:42,720 Speaker 1: hand at least standing a forward Trump to save America, 441 00:25:43,040 --> 00:25:44,920 Speaker 1: and the media created this whole thing. I don't remember 442 00:25:44,920 --> 00:25:46,520 Speaker 1: the guy's name, to this day, which is I don't 443 00:25:46,560 --> 00:25:49,120 Speaker 1: remember his name either, but there was a people were like, oh, 444 00:25:49,160 --> 00:25:51,960 Speaker 1: this is you know, Kelly and Conway, this is you know, 445 00:25:52,040 --> 00:25:54,040 Speaker 1: Like I mean, there were tons of people were saying 446 00:25:54,040 --> 00:25:56,600 Speaker 1: it was Jared. You were saying it was his son 447 00:25:56,600 --> 00:25:58,760 Speaker 1: in law. I'm like, I don't think it. I don't 448 00:25:58,800 --> 00:26:01,240 Speaker 1: think his son in law. Do you imagine that Thanksgiving 449 00:26:01,280 --> 00:26:03,840 Speaker 1: if you wrote an anonymous op ed to The New 450 00:26:03,920 --> 00:26:06,040 Speaker 1: York Times about how you were trying to subvert your 451 00:26:06,320 --> 00:26:09,919 Speaker 1: duly elected father in law's ability to actually be president 452 00:26:09,960 --> 00:26:12,600 Speaker 1: of the United States, Dear Diary, I think my father 453 00:26:12,680 --> 00:26:15,200 Speaker 1: in law is going to create nuclear war, so I'm 454 00:26:15,280 --> 00:26:17,120 Speaker 1: undermining him. I mean, give me a birth. The whole 455 00:26:17,119 --> 00:26:20,240 Speaker 1: thing was so crazy, But but I do think that 456 00:26:20,520 --> 00:26:23,320 Speaker 1: what this also should be a reminder of for everybody 457 00:26:23,400 --> 00:26:27,280 Speaker 1: is that this notion of we didn't tell Trump things 458 00:26:28,240 --> 00:26:30,360 Speaker 1: that also meant in some cases they were hiding things 459 00:26:30,359 --> 00:26:33,919 Speaker 1: from the American people we should know. Yeah, let's just 460 00:26:34,040 --> 00:26:35,600 Speaker 1: let's just take them at their word for a second, 461 00:26:35,600 --> 00:26:38,679 Speaker 1: because the story on this keeps changing. If China really 462 00:26:38,880 --> 00:26:45,200 Speaker 1: is sending surveillance balloons over our airspace, that is going 463 00:26:45,240 --> 00:26:48,600 Speaker 1: to trigger in everyone's mind who knows the most basic 464 00:26:48,680 --> 00:26:54,200 Speaker 1: history US Soviet Cold War surveillance stuff that was going on. 465 00:26:54,480 --> 00:26:57,879 Speaker 1: And what did I say, Francis Gary Powers? Right, we 466 00:26:57,880 --> 00:27:00,080 Speaker 1: talked about the U two that got shot down and 467 00:27:00,240 --> 00:27:02,920 Speaker 1: the different you know that the Canton mouse game between 468 00:27:02,960 --> 00:27:06,280 Speaker 1: the US and the Soviets to understand each other's full 469 00:27:06,440 --> 00:27:09,840 Speaker 1: nuclear capabilities, understand if there was any kind of a 470 00:27:09,880 --> 00:27:12,399 Speaker 1: shield that could shoot them down, all the different you know, 471 00:27:12,440 --> 00:27:16,919 Speaker 1: the decades of Cold War espionage and counter espionage that 472 00:27:16,960 --> 00:27:21,120 Speaker 1: was underway, and we should know that China is doing that, 473 00:27:21,359 --> 00:27:23,840 Speaker 1: right that this is not something if they're flying balloons 474 00:27:23,840 --> 00:27:27,280 Speaker 1: over airspace. The American people do have a right to 475 00:27:27,960 --> 00:27:31,000 Speaker 1: know that. The notion that they would hide that from 476 00:27:31,080 --> 00:27:33,919 Speaker 1: US is I think very troubling, or hide that from 477 00:27:33,920 --> 00:27:36,280 Speaker 1: the president is super troubling. But even that then it 478 00:27:36,440 --> 00:27:39,119 Speaker 1: is in a sense hidden from the American people. But 479 00:27:39,240 --> 00:27:41,960 Speaker 1: also do we really believe it because Clay, this thing 480 00:27:42,040 --> 00:27:44,160 Speaker 1: was really high in the air, but people could see 481 00:27:44,160 --> 00:27:47,399 Speaker 1: it from the ground, right, No, I mean that's the 482 00:27:47,440 --> 00:27:50,160 Speaker 1: point on this. I mean they were hoping I think 483 00:27:50,200 --> 00:27:52,399 Speaker 1: that we would never become aware of this, which is 484 00:27:52,400 --> 00:27:55,520 Speaker 1: why my point on it is shoot it down in 485 00:27:55,520 --> 00:27:58,760 Speaker 1: Alaska no one would have known if that got shut 486 00:27:58,840 --> 00:28:01,880 Speaker 1: down over the Alaska Skin Wilderness it would have landed. 487 00:28:01,960 --> 00:28:04,960 Speaker 1: It probably wouldn't have been a story for months until 488 00:28:05,080 --> 00:28:07,840 Speaker 1: somebody decided they wanted it to be a story, and 489 00:28:07,840 --> 00:28:10,320 Speaker 1: then it would actually look good for the Biden administration. Hey, 490 00:28:10,320 --> 00:28:14,080 Speaker 1: we recognize that there was this Chinese spy balloon that 491 00:28:14,119 --> 00:28:18,440 Speaker 1: came into our territory. It was clearly a spy balloon. 492 00:28:19,080 --> 00:28:21,240 Speaker 1: Why would we allow it to go across the whole 493 00:28:21,240 --> 00:28:23,760 Speaker 1: country and then shoot it down over water off the 494 00:28:23,800 --> 00:28:26,919 Speaker 1: coast of South Carolina when you're gonna have difficulty getting 495 00:28:26,960 --> 00:28:30,040 Speaker 1: all the salvage job done. And if we're talking about 496 00:28:30,400 --> 00:28:33,560 Speaker 1: troubling revelations that have come out of the Chinese spy 497 00:28:33,640 --> 00:28:35,600 Speaker 1: balloon issue. By the way, our friend Gordon Chang will 498 00:28:35,640 --> 00:28:38,960 Speaker 1: join us in the third hour to address the why 499 00:28:39,080 --> 00:28:42,040 Speaker 1: is China doing this? And what does this tell us 500 00:28:42,040 --> 00:28:45,320 Speaker 1: about Chinese intentions visa the United States? I think that's 501 00:28:45,360 --> 00:28:48,520 Speaker 1: really important. Apparently they don't just want to sell us 502 00:28:48,520 --> 00:28:51,240 Speaker 1: really cheap things for Walmart. Apparently they have some other 503 00:28:51,280 --> 00:28:53,400 Speaker 1: things in mind too. Everybody, I think we all know that. 504 00:28:54,760 --> 00:28:58,720 Speaker 1: But the look the Daily Mail reporting here that the 505 00:28:58,760 --> 00:29:06,920 Speaker 1: intelligence community had had classified these previous Chinese balloons as UFOs. 506 00:29:07,320 --> 00:29:11,280 Speaker 1: Now I guess technically they you know, they would be 507 00:29:11,440 --> 00:29:15,440 Speaker 1: UFOs at first, But shouldn't the intelligence community be able 508 00:29:15,480 --> 00:29:18,800 Speaker 1: to figure out the unidentified part of this? Like how 509 00:29:18,840 --> 00:29:21,800 Speaker 1: many countries are really going to risk the ire of 510 00:29:21,840 --> 00:29:26,720 Speaker 1: the United States by sending surveillance balloons over our You know, 511 00:29:26,760 --> 00:29:29,560 Speaker 1: this isn't just like skirting the edges of our you know, 512 00:29:29,880 --> 00:29:32,480 Speaker 1: national boundaries or something. This is going right over our 513 00:29:32,840 --> 00:29:36,680 Speaker 1: Nuclear Strategic Command sits in Montana. This is bad stuff. 514 00:29:36,880 --> 00:29:39,480 Speaker 1: I'm also am I the only person buck who wonders 515 00:29:39,520 --> 00:29:44,800 Speaker 1: where they let this balloon go? Like, I mean, in 516 00:29:44,880 --> 00:29:48,880 Speaker 1: all honesty, if it comes over Alaska? Where how far 517 00:29:49,040 --> 00:29:51,480 Speaker 1: out was this? I presume it left from a ship. 518 00:29:51,920 --> 00:29:54,280 Speaker 1: Well I don't know, but I mean I don't think 519 00:29:54,280 --> 00:29:56,720 Speaker 1: it would have left from land in China. They're probably 520 00:29:56,720 --> 00:29:59,080 Speaker 1: not flying it all over Maybe they maybe they did. 521 00:29:59,160 --> 00:30:02,880 Speaker 1: I'm genuine curious about all of this, Like, right, how 522 00:30:02,920 --> 00:30:05,080 Speaker 1: did it get here? And what was the method by 523 00:30:05,080 --> 00:30:07,040 Speaker 1: which they allowed that to occur? I mean, I remember 524 00:30:07,080 --> 00:30:08,840 Speaker 1: when they were I was in when I was be 525 00:30:08,880 --> 00:30:13,680 Speaker 1: at US military bases in Iraq and Afghanistan. You would 526 00:30:13,680 --> 00:30:16,280 Speaker 1: see the they had these tethered balloon and it was 527 00:30:16,640 --> 00:30:20,280 Speaker 1: a giant surveillance balloon. So it makes sense. I mean, 528 00:30:20,280 --> 00:30:24,200 Speaker 1: because when you think about it, anything that's jet powered 529 00:30:24,280 --> 00:30:27,480 Speaker 1: or runs on a rotor or runs on propellers gonna 530 00:30:27,520 --> 00:30:29,960 Speaker 1: run out of gas. Pretty quip yourself, you need static 531 00:30:30,080 --> 00:30:34,760 Speaker 1: long term surveillance. Old school technology can sometimes be your 532 00:30:34,760 --> 00:30:37,720 Speaker 1: best friend. A balloon lets you just sort of sit 533 00:30:37,960 --> 00:30:41,880 Speaker 1: and sit and sit. And so the Chinese have clearly 534 00:30:41,920 --> 00:30:45,719 Speaker 1: developed an interest in doing this. And also I assume 535 00:30:45,760 --> 00:30:48,560 Speaker 1: maybe there's some ways because it doesn't move that fast, 536 00:30:48,640 --> 00:30:51,920 Speaker 1: perhaps it's not as easy to pick up on certain radars. Again, 537 00:30:51,960 --> 00:30:53,960 Speaker 1: I don't know. I'm a I'm not a radar or 538 00:30:53,960 --> 00:30:57,760 Speaker 1: missiles guy, but you know, it is interesting to me 539 00:30:57,880 --> 00:31:00,719 Speaker 1: that this is now suddenly a conversation we're having as 540 00:31:00,720 --> 00:31:03,320 Speaker 1: a country. And yet the Biden administration was like, oh, well, 541 00:31:03,360 --> 00:31:05,520 Speaker 1: like they didn't even tell Trump and this happened a 542 00:31:05,560 --> 00:31:08,960 Speaker 1: bunch of times before. That shouldn't make anybody feel better, 543 00:31:09,160 --> 00:31:11,680 Speaker 1: and certainly shouldn't make Biden feel better. And I'll just 544 00:31:11,720 --> 00:31:14,720 Speaker 1: point out again, if this thing is loaded down with explosives, 545 00:31:15,400 --> 00:31:19,640 Speaker 1: what's to stop them from delivering an attack inside of 546 00:31:19,640 --> 00:31:22,480 Speaker 1: our country through these methods. Can I ask you know, 547 00:31:22,520 --> 00:31:24,040 Speaker 1: I know we don't have too much time for this, 548 00:31:24,120 --> 00:31:26,880 Speaker 1: but in our audience, we've got people that know missiles, 549 00:31:26,880 --> 00:31:28,960 Speaker 1: people that know radars, people that know air to air. 550 00:31:29,520 --> 00:31:32,160 Speaker 1: Got some Air Force guys out there, take a step 551 00:31:32,160 --> 00:31:34,400 Speaker 1: away from the golf course. It's an Air Force joke 552 00:31:34,960 --> 00:31:37,920 Speaker 1: and give us a call. Eight hundred two eight two 553 00:31:38,000 --> 00:31:40,160 Speaker 1: eight eight two. You know there's an old joke about 554 00:31:40,160 --> 00:31:41,440 Speaker 1: the Air Force. What's the first thing you do to 555 00:31:41,440 --> 00:31:43,800 Speaker 1: build every Air Force base? Figure out where the golf 556 00:31:43,800 --> 00:31:47,120 Speaker 1: course goes. I'm just kidding, Air Force. I love you, 557 00:31:47,200 --> 00:31:49,440 Speaker 1: I'm just telling you funny jokes. Eight hundred two a 558 00:31:49,560 --> 00:31:51,960 Speaker 1: two two eight two.

There's some details. We'll get into all 589 00:33:29,360 --> 00:33:32,240 Speaker 1: of it. In Oklahoma. Basically, is the state of Oklahoma 590 00:33:32,360 --> 00:33:36,000 Speaker 1: gonna stop young people from having transgender surgery and or 591 00:33:36,920 --> 00:33:40,960 Speaker 1: um hormone blockers? What would the age limit be for that? 592 00:33:40,960 --> 00:33:46,000 Speaker 1: That's all underway now, and there's a a trans Lives Matter, 593 00:33:46,240 --> 00:33:49,720 Speaker 1: which is what they're calling themselves. The group has seized 594 00:33:50,080 --> 00:33:52,040 Speaker 1: or you know, stormed or whatever you want to say, 595 00:33:52,320 --> 00:33:59,440 Speaker 1: protested inside of the Yeah, they they're occupying the capital. Obviously, 596 00:33:59,560 --> 00:34:01,840 Speaker 1: if they were you know, if they were Donald Trump 597 00:34:01,840 --> 00:34:03,720 Speaker 1: supporters with MAGA hats, would they'd be calling it and 598 00:34:03,800 --> 00:34:05,880 Speaker 1: you know, well actually know it's Oklahoma's they wouldn't be 599 00:34:05,880 --> 00:34:07,880 Speaker 1: calling in the National Guard. But if this was in DC, 600 00:34:08,120 --> 00:34:11,360 Speaker 1: we all know what would happen. Mclen I were just 601 00:34:11,400 --> 00:34:14,719 Speaker 1: talking about how right now all over the Internet a 602 00:34:14,800 --> 00:34:21,879 Speaker 1: lot of a lot of consternation from the feminists out there, 603 00:34:22,239 --> 00:34:27,520 Speaker 1: particularly about the latest in Leonardo Dicafrio's love life. So 604 00:34:27,680 --> 00:34:32,160 Speaker 1: my understandings, Leonardo DiCaprio is forty eight years old yea, 605 00:34:32,239 --> 00:34:37,640 Speaker 1: and he is now publicly dating a nineteen year old 606 00:34:37,800 --> 00:34:40,520 Speaker 1: Is that right? I believe it's correct, he's closing in 607 00:34:40,520 --> 00:34:44,040 Speaker 1: on the thirty year gap. Now, Klaite, let me just say, 608 00:34:44,200 --> 00:34:49,680 Speaker 1: as a married man, I feel like connection and and 609 00:34:49,960 --> 00:34:54,960 Speaker 1: having some compatibility goes beyond just these you know, the 610 00:34:55,640 --> 00:35:00,480 Speaker 1: physical u and attraction. But I do think considers you 611 00:35:00,520 --> 00:35:04,680 Speaker 1: to hear different people's views on what the because I 612 00:35:04,719 --> 00:35:06,880 Speaker 1: think for a lot of women, I'm just gonna say this, 613 00:35:07,480 --> 00:35:09,200 Speaker 1: you know, for any of the young ladies listening to 614 00:35:09,200 --> 00:35:11,440 Speaker 1: the show right now, you know, if you're in your 615 00:35:11,480 --> 00:35:14,080 Speaker 1: mid twenties, I think a lot of those young ladies 616 00:35:14,120 --> 00:35:16,279 Speaker 1: would be very well served to date guys in their 617 00:35:16,320 --> 00:35:20,279 Speaker 1: early thirties. I think, you know, if you're seven to 618 00:35:20,440 --> 00:35:23,839 Speaker 1: be immature. Yeah not because women are faster than men 619 00:35:23,920 --> 00:35:26,319 Speaker 1: and men men are trying to build a career so 620 00:35:26,360 --> 00:35:28,360 Speaker 1: that then they can turn around and then build a family, 621 00:35:28,400 --> 00:35:30,239 Speaker 1: and women are on a different timeline. So you know, 622 00:35:30,320 --> 00:35:34,440 Speaker 1: I think, you know, twenty seven and thirty four, twenty 623 00:35:34,480 --> 00:35:37,600 Speaker 1: six and thirty thirty two, you know, stuff like that. 624 00:35:37,680 --> 00:35:39,959 Speaker 1: I think that's kind of it's standard in New York. 625 00:35:40,040 --> 00:35:43,440 Speaker 1: But thirty years of age gap is Leo's pushing him 626 00:35:43,440 --> 00:35:46,759 Speaker 1: a little bit. So here's my theory on DiCaprio. I 627 00:35:46,840 --> 00:35:50,759 Speaker 1: think that Leonardo DiCaprio decided a long time ago in 628 00:35:50,920 --> 00:35:54,640 Speaker 1: order to be truly elite in his profession. And it's 629 00:35:54,640 --> 00:35:57,759 Speaker 1: fair to say DiCaprio is an elite actor, right, I mean, 630 00:35:57,800 --> 00:36:00,640 Speaker 1: maybe the greatest actor of his profession, of his generation. 631 00:36:00,760 --> 00:36:02,399 Speaker 1: I mean, I don't think that's crazy when you look 632 00:36:02,440 --> 00:36:05,000 Speaker 1: at the variety of his roles and how successful he's been. 633 00:36:05,600 --> 00:36:10,440 Speaker 1: I think he decided that he needed absolutely nothing other 634 00:36:10,640 --> 00:36:16,359 Speaker 1: than like a total casual, not serious relationship partner, I mean, 635 00:36:16,440 --> 00:36:19,439 Speaker 1: for the rest of his life. And that's what he's done. 636 00:36:19,480 --> 00:36:21,960 Speaker 1: He's never gotten married, to my knowledge, buck, he doesn't 637 00:36:21,960 --> 00:36:25,600 Speaker 1: have any kids. He's forty eight, and he basically has dated, 638 00:36:26,040 --> 00:36:29,000 Speaker 1: you know, twenty year old Victoria's Secret Models. That's what 639 00:36:29,080 --> 00:36:31,839 Speaker 1: he dates, twenty year old Dictoria's Secret Models, almost exclusively. 640 00:36:31,840 --> 00:36:34,960 Speaker 1: It's twenty one, twenty twenty two. But you know, Clay, 641 00:36:35,160 --> 00:36:38,040 Speaker 1: us normal married guys. We get into our forties, we 642 00:36:38,080 --> 00:36:42,680 Speaker 1: want conversation, we want nap time. It's very different. I 643 00:36:42,880 --> 00:36:47,719 Speaker 1: think DiCaprio wants what DiCaprio wants, which is twenty year 644 00:36:47,719 --> 00:36:51,000 Speaker 1: old Victoria's Secret Models, and I think he doesn't feel 645 00:36:51,000 --> 00:36:53,960 Speaker 1: like he has to give it up and the girls 646 00:36:54,160 --> 00:36:57,879 Speaker 1: continue to date him, so I don't really have any 647 00:36:57,920 --> 00:37:00,279 Speaker 1: issue with DiCaprio. I just wanted to keep making good 648 00:37:00,320 --> 00:37:04,000 Speaker 1: movies and blue Hair about blue hairy. Cat ladies online 649 00:37:04,160 --> 00:37:07,120 Speaker 1: are very upset at Leo over this, though a lot 650 00:37:07,160 --> 00:37:07,840 Speaker 1: of cat ladies
