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 --> 00:00:08,280 Speaker 1: Sexton Show podcast. Welcome back in Clay Travis buck Sexton Show. 3 00:00:08,360 --> 00:00:11,160 Speaker 1: We are joined now by Senator Josh Holley of Missouri, 4 00:00:11,840 --> 00:00:16,080 Speaker 1: fresh off having his speech stormed by a climate activist. 5 00:00:16,720 --> 00:00:19,160 Speaker 1: Did you feel like you were Patrick Mahomes in the pocket, 6 00:00:19,320 --> 00:00:23,800 Speaker 1: somebody coming on your blind side? I felt like I 7 00:00:23,840 --> 00:00:28,120 Speaker 1: was meeting with Joe Biden's next energy secret check climate wacko, 8 00:00:28,440 --> 00:00:31,600 Speaker 1: shouting about how China is not our energy, the climate 9 00:00:31,640 --> 00:00:33,639 Speaker 1: crisis is our energy. You're like, oh, I've heard those 10 00:00:33,680 --> 00:00:38,680 Speaker 1: talking points. So this by balloon thing you tweeted out 11 00:00:38,680 --> 00:00:42,239 Speaker 1: the other day in response to this CBS story about, hey, 12 00:00:42,280 --> 00:00:45,560 Speaker 1: we've been tracking this since Monday. What I thought was 13 00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:48,520 Speaker 1: so interesting or sorrynescence Monday for like a week before 14 00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:53,199 Speaker 1: it arrived in Alaska that you think maybe the National 15 00:00:53,240 --> 00:00:56,640 Speaker 1: security apparatus knew about this by balloon and they didn't 16 00:00:56,680 --> 00:00:59,800 Speaker 1: tell Joe Biden, which would raise a lot of alarming questions. 17 00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:02,760 Speaker 1: What makes you think so well, because we know from 18 00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:05,880 Speaker 1: news reports now that they tracked that the intelligence community 19 00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:07,880 Speaker 1: tracked the spy balloon from the time it took off 20 00:01:07,959 --> 00:01:10,760 Speaker 1: in China, so they knew about it, and we also 21 00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:13,560 Speaker 1: know from news reports that Biden wasn't informed about it 22 00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:16,800 Speaker 1: till January thirty, if to thirty first, after it had 23 00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:21,319 Speaker 1: already gone across Alaska and was on the doorstep of Montana. 24 00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:23,759 Speaker 1: So it's who's in charge here, That's what I want 25 00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:25,320 Speaker 1: to know. I mean, apparently they don't think enough of 26 00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:28,200 Speaker 1: the president tell him, and I tell you. What else 27 00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:30,280 Speaker 1: we know is that the general who's in charge of 28 00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:33,880 Speaker 1: keeping the whole domestic United States safe, what he told 29 00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:36,080 Speaker 1: me and what he has said publicly is that he 30 00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:38,760 Speaker 1: couldn't shoot it down because he didn't have authorization. So 31 00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:41,640 Speaker 1: I'm like, oh my gosh, where's the president? What's he 32 00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:43,679 Speaker 1: doing with his time? It was he asleep? Is he napping? 33 00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:45,920 Speaker 1: I mean, is he out to ice cream? Where is he? 34 00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:49,360 Speaker 1: And why didn't they tell him? It is crazy stuff, 35 00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:51,920 Speaker 1: it is. Why do you think that's unique to Joe 36 00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:54,480 Speaker 1: Biden or do you think that's a larger national security 37 00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:57,520 Speaker 1: apparatus trying to run rough shot over no matter who's 38 00:01:57,560 --> 00:02:00,480 Speaker 1: in the White House. I think it's probably earth sunder 39 00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:02,400 Speaker 1: Biden because I think what this shows is that they 40 00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:04,080 Speaker 1: don't have a lot of confidence in him. But No, 41 00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:06,720 Speaker 1: I do think Clay, that this is something that probably 42 00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:09,480 Speaker 1: has gone on before. And we've seen this from some 43 00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:12,440 Speaker 1: of these top brass and some of the intelligence community 44 00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:15,720 Speaker 1: leaders before. Is they think they know best and they think, yeah, 45 00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:18,800 Speaker 1: we'll just make the decision. And so that's dangerous. I 46 00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:20,960 Speaker 1: mean in a country like ours, it's supposed to be 47 00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:23,160 Speaker 1: run by we the people, supposed to be run by 48 00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:26,240 Speaker 1: elected officials who can be held accountable. That's a big problem. 49 00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:27,799 Speaker 1: And that's why I say the fact that the president 50 00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:30,800 Speaker 1: is out to lunch on this thing for days, man, 51 00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:34,760 Speaker 1: that's a huge, huge security risk, no doubt. Now you 52 00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:37,160 Speaker 1: have got a bill. We started the yesterday's show talking 53 00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:41,040 Speaker 1: about this bill. You want to ban kids from using 54 00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:44,919 Speaker 1: social media until they are sixteen years old. We started 55 00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:48,320 Speaker 1: yesterday show talking about the overwhelming increase thirty percent of 56 00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:51,560 Speaker 1: teenage girls have said they thought about suicide, fifty seven 57 00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:55,680 Speaker 1: percent of them depressed. This thing just keeps skyrocketing. What 58 00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:57,880 Speaker 1: do we need to do to protect our kids from 59 00:02:57,919 --> 00:03:00,520 Speaker 1: social media? And I know part of this involved TikTok 60 00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:02,959 Speaker 1: as well, which is Chinese owned. How would you assess 61 00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:06,600 Speaker 1: this situation? Well, I think the situation is getting worse. 62 00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:09,919 Speaker 1: I mean and your father, and I'm a father of three, 63 00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:13,520 Speaker 1: and you know our kids are both young, are all young, 64 00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:16,240 Speaker 1: I know, for both of us. But listen, you know, 65 00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:18,799 Speaker 1: when I think about the changing technology and how hard 66 00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:20,400 Speaker 1: it is to stay ahead of it, my ten year 67 00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:22,960 Speaker 1: old Clay already knows more about my phone than I do. 68 00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:25,880 Speaker 1: I mean serious, it's the same thing here. My twelve, 69 00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:28,560 Speaker 1: eight and fifteen year olds can run circles around me 70 00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:31,400 Speaker 1: when it comes to using an iPhone totally. So when 71 00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:33,200 Speaker 1: I hear these people say stuff like well, that's really 72 00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:35,360 Speaker 1: a matter of the parents education, I'm like, give me 73 00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:37,160 Speaker 1: a break. I'm not. I'm you know, I'm not the 74 00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:41,160 Speaker 1: smartest guy. But you know, listen, I mean I am 75 00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:44,080 Speaker 1: completely in the dark, or nearly so when compared to 76 00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:47,880 Speaker 1: my kids. So I think setting sixteen as an age threshold, 77 00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:50,240 Speaker 1: you've got to be sixteen before the social media companies 78 00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:53,000 Speaker 1: can target the kids, before the social media companies can 79 00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:54,800 Speaker 1: open up accounts for the kids, and you put the 80 00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:58,080 Speaker 1: verification on the companies, not the parents. And what we 81 00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:00,360 Speaker 1: know from the data is the younger the kids are 82 00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:02,400 Speaker 1: when they get on social media, the worst it is 83 00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:04,800 Speaker 1: for them, the worst to mental health effects, especially with 84 00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:07,920 Speaker 1: younger girls actually, but it's it's boys and girls. So 85 00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:10,760 Speaker 1: let's just shield those kids and give parents some power. 86 00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:12,640 Speaker 1: The other thing we ought to do, Clay, as we 87 00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:15,560 Speaker 1: ought to let parents sue the social media companies. I mean, listen, 88 00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:20,560 Speaker 1: if your kid is exposed to material that is exploitative 89 00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:23,520 Speaker 1: on social media, if your kid suffers major health and 90 00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:27,000 Speaker 1: mental health consequences because of what the social media platforms 91 00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:29,520 Speaker 1: are doing with their own design, you ought to be 92 00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:31,200 Speaker 1: able to go and have your day on core, your 93 00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:33,160 Speaker 1: day in court, your lawyer. I mean, this is the 94 00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:35,599 Speaker 1: basic fundamental right to go have your day in court. 95 00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:39,159 Speaker 1: Let's give that to parents right now. The social media 96 00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:42,120 Speaker 1: companies are exempted, and that shouldn't be the case. Yeah, 97 00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:43,880 Speaker 1: you know what, and I know you're paying attention to 98 00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:46,440 Speaker 1: this too. The algorithms have to become in some way 99 00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:51,320 Speaker 1: public because they are claiming, oh, we're not content companies. 100 00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:54,080 Speaker 1: People post their YouTube videos or their comments, and we 101 00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:57,440 Speaker 1: don't we don't choose who gets to see it. The algorithm, 102 00:04:57,480 --> 00:05:01,200 Speaker 1: one hundred percent, Senator, as you well know, guarantees what 103 00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:04,200 Speaker 1: kids see and don't see, and they try to hide 104 00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:06,920 Speaker 1: behind that. The algorithm is programmed and created by an 105 00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:10,800 Speaker 1: individual human. It's not as if they're not making choices 106 00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:14,280 Speaker 1: on content on a daily basis. That is absolutely true. 107 00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:15,839 Speaker 1: And these companies ought to be on the hook for 108 00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:18,600 Speaker 1: their algorithms, both in terms of what they recommend to kids, 109 00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:22,440 Speaker 1: what they exposed kids too, and the content quote unquote moderation, 110 00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:24,479 Speaker 1: which is censorship. You know, and we hear this a 111 00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:26,760 Speaker 1: thousand times. Oh we didn't censor, We didn't, that was 112 00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:28,919 Speaker 1: just the algorithm. Oh we know now from the Twitter 113 00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:32,560 Speaker 1: files that's not true. These guys at these platforms, and 114 00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:35,279 Speaker 1: I guarantee you it isn't just Twitter. They are making 115 00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:40,320 Speaker 1: the conscious choice to censor viewpoints. They don't like conservative viewpoints, 116 00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:43,880 Speaker 1: libertarian viewpoints, they don't like them. On the COVID vaccine, 117 00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:46,400 Speaker 1: we sought a thousand times over, they shut it down. 118 00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:47,880 Speaker 1: You ought to be able to soothe them for this. 119 00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:49,920 Speaker 1: I'm a big believer and just get tired of people 120 00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:51,880 Speaker 1: the regulators. I don't have a lot of faith in 121 00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:55,239 Speaker 1: the regulators. So just allow the people to get into court. 122 00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:58,000 Speaker 1: And if you get shadow band or censored and the 123 00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:01,279 Speaker 1: social media companies don't follow their terms of service, allow 124 00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:04,360 Speaker 1: people to sue him. How many super bowls does Patrick 125 00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:06,840 Speaker 1: Mahomes win. Last question for you, and how long are 126 00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:09,600 Speaker 1: you going to gloat about a second Super Bowl championship 127 00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:12,720 Speaker 1: for your Kansas City Chiefs. I'm going to gloat right 128 00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:16,080 Speaker 1: up until we win the next one next year, and 129 00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:19,440 Speaker 1: who knows, maybe he'll get eight, maybe he'll you know, 130 00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:23,640 Speaker 1: he's got a chance now to surpass Brady. He's on track. 131 00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:25,200 Speaker 1: I mean, it does make me. I'll tell you what. 132 00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:27,120 Speaker 1: I'll say this and the only nice thing I'll say 133 00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:28,960 Speaker 1: about Tom Brady, but I will say that that seeing 134 00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:31,240 Speaker 1: what Mahomes is doing does make you respect what Brady 135 00:06:31,279 --> 00:06:33,839 Speaker 1: has done over the long haul. But Mahomes is he 136 00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:36,080 Speaker 1: is a generational talent. You and I've talked about this, 137 00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:37,680 Speaker 1: and just seeing the way Clay I know you we 138 00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:39,960 Speaker 1: watched the game or there a bit, but just seeing 139 00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:42,680 Speaker 1: the way that he adjusted in the second half, the 140 00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:45,520 Speaker 1: time in the pocket, the time to release of his throws, 141 00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:48,839 Speaker 1: you know, faster and faster, just exploiting a very good 142 00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:50,760 Speaker 1: defense on the part of the Eagles, but knowing that 143 00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:53,760 Speaker 1: the quicker the release, the more trouble the Philly defense 144 00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:55,640 Speaker 1: had with it. And is to see the difference from 145 00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:58,240 Speaker 1: first half the second half in that adjustment. I mean, 146 00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:00,240 Speaker 1: you know, that's pretty darn good. That's in it each 147 00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:02,240 Speaker 1: quarterback there, So I think he's got a lot left 148 00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:04,760 Speaker 1: in him. Seize a savant. I know you're busy, got 149 00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:06,560 Speaker 1: to run down to the Senate floor. Thanks for making 150 00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:10,480 Speaker 1: the time to us today and enjoy that championship. Hey, 151 00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:13,720 Speaker 1: thank you. Thanks for having me that Senator Josh Holly. 152 00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:16,640 Speaker 1: Now he's fantastic, by the way, doing a great job 153 00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:20,400 Speaker 1: in Missouri. Also, I believe staff has just updated me 154 00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:23,200 Speaker 1: Biden is coming to the podium. Is he there right 155 00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:27,120 Speaker 1: now to talk about shooting down these objects? Should we 156 00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:29,640 Speaker 1: go to him live? Is he speaking at this exact moment? 157 00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:33,160 Speaker 1: But nothing yet take right now suggests they were related 158 00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:36,560 Speaker 1: to Chinese spy balloon program, or that they were surveillance 159 00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:41,480 Speaker 1: vehicles from any other country. The intelligence community's current assessment 160 00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:44,679 Speaker 1: is that these three objects were most likely balloons tied 161 00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:50,000 Speaker 1: to private companies, recreation or research institutions studying weather or 162 00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:54,240 Speaker 1: conducting other scientific research. When I came into office, I 163 00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:57,800 Speaker 1: instructed our intelligence community to take abroad look at the 164 00:07:57,800 --> 00:08:02,360 Speaker 1: phenomenon of unidentified aerial objects. We know that a range 165 00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:06,960 Speaker 1: of entities, including countries, companies, and research organizations operate objects 166 00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:11,320 Speaker 1: at altitudes for purposes that are not nefarious, including legitimate 167 00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:15,720 Speaker 1: scientific research. I want to be clear, we don't have 168 00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:18,360 Speaker 1: any evidence that there has been a sudden increase in 169 00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:21,080 Speaker 1: the number of objects in the sky. We're now just 170 00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:24,560 Speaker 1: seeing more of them, partially because the steps we've taken 171 00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:28,480 Speaker 1: to increase our radars to narrow our radars, and we 172 00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:32,440 Speaker 1: have to keep adapting our approach delaying to dealing with 173 00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:35,959 Speaker 1: these challenges. That's why I've directed my team to come 174 00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:38,839 Speaker 1: back to me with sharper rules for how we will 175 00:08:38,920 --> 00:08:43,440 Speaker 1: deal with these unidentified objects moving forward, distinguishing distinguishing between 176 00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:46,680 Speaker 1: those that are likely to post safety and security risks 177 00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:51,120 Speaker 1: that necessitate action and those that do not. But make 178 00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:54,520 Speaker 1: no mistake, if any object presents a threat to the 179 00:08:54,559 --> 00:08:57,360 Speaker 1: safety security of the American people, I will take it down. 180 00:08:58,840 --> 00:09:02,680 Speaker 1: I'll be sharing with Risk these classified policy parameters when 181 00:09:02,679 --> 00:09:06,600 Speaker 1: they are completed, and they'll remain classified so we don't 182 00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:09,280 Speaker 1: give our roadmap to our enemies to try to evade 183 00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:14,160 Speaker 1: our defenses. Going forward, these parameters will guide what actions 184 00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:18,040 Speaker 1: will take while responding to unmanned and unidentified aerial objects. 185 00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:21,320 Speaker 1: We're going to keep adapting them as the challenges evolved, 186 00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:24,440 Speaker 1: if it evolves. In addition, we've drive directing my National 187 00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:27,920 Speaker 1: Security Advisor to lead a government wide effort to make 188 00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:32,000 Speaker 1: sure we are positioned to deal safely and effectively with 189 00:09:32,040 --> 00:09:36,320 Speaker 1: the objects in our airspace. First, we will establish a 190 00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:41,400 Speaker 1: better inventory of unmanned airborne objects in space above the 191 00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:45,559 Speaker 1: United States airspace and make sure that inventory is accessible 192 00:09:45,880 --> 00:09:50,680 Speaker 1: and up to date. Second, we'll implement further measures to 193 00:09:50,760 --> 00:09:56,360 Speaker 1: improve our capacity to detect unman objective objects in our airspace. Third, 194 00:09:56,920 --> 00:09:59,880 Speaker 1: we'll update the rules and regulations for launching and main 195 00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:03,680 Speaker 1: obtaining unmanned objects in the skies above the United States 196 00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:08,079 Speaker 1: of America. And Fourth, my Secretary of State will lead 197 00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:13,240 Speaker 1: an effort to help establish a common global norms in 198 00:10:13,280 --> 00:10:17,560 Speaker 1: this largely unregulated space. These steps will lead to safer 199 00:10:17,559 --> 00:10:21,240 Speaker 1: and more secure skies for our air travelers, our military, 200 00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:24,040 Speaker 1: our scientists, and for people on the ground as well. 201 00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:28,360 Speaker 1: That's my job as your president commander in chief. As 202 00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:31,840 Speaker 1: the events of the previous days of shown, will always 203 00:10:31,880 --> 00:10:34,400 Speaker 1: act to protect the interest of the American people and 204 00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:37,840 Speaker 1: the security of American people. Since I came to office, 205 00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:41,680 Speaker 1: we've developed the ability to identify, track and study high 206 00:10:41,679 --> 00:10:46,079 Speaker 1: altitude surveillance balloons connected with the Chinese military. When one 207 00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:49,200 Speaker 1: of these high altitudes surveillance balloons entered our air space 208 00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:52,000 Speaker 1: over the continent of the United States earlier in the month, 209 00:10:52,520 --> 00:10:55,199 Speaker 1: I gave the order to shoot it down as soon 210 00:10:55,360 --> 00:10:57,960 Speaker 1: as it would be safe to do so. The military 211 00:10:57,960 --> 00:11:00,520 Speaker 1: advised against shooting it down over land because of the 212 00:11:00,559 --> 00:11:03,440 Speaker 1: sheer size of it. It was the size of multiple 213 00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:06,120 Speaker 1: school buses and opposed the risk to people on the 214 00:11:06,160 --> 00:11:10,280 Speaker 1: ground if it was shot down where people lived. Instead, 215 00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:14,160 Speaker 1: we tracked it closely. We analyze it as capabilities and 216 00:11:14,240 --> 00:11:17,400 Speaker 1: we learn more about how it operates, and because we 217 00:11:17,520 --> 00:11:20,400 Speaker 1: knew its path, we were able to protect sensitive sites 218 00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:24,120 Speaker 1: against collection. We waited until it was safety over water, 219 00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:27,880 Speaker 1: which would not only protect civilians but also enable us 220 00:11:27,880 --> 00:11:33,120 Speaker 1: to recover substantial components for further analysts for further analytics, 221 00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:36,920 Speaker 1: and then we shot it down, sending a clear message, 222 00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:42,040 Speaker 1: clear message, the violation of our sovereignty is unacceptable. We'll 223 00:11:42,040 --> 00:11:45,760 Speaker 1: act to protect our country, and we did now. This 224 00:11:45,920 --> 00:11:49,600 Speaker 1: past Friday, we put restrictions on six firms that directly 225 00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:54,000 Speaker 1: support the People's Republic Liberation Army, People's the People's Liberation 226 00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:59,680 Speaker 1: Army aerospace program that includes airships and balloons, denying them 227 00:11:59,679 --> 00:12:03,680 Speaker 1: acts as to US technology. We briefed our diplomatic partners 228 00:12:03,679 --> 00:12:06,559 Speaker 1: and our allies around the world, and we know about 229 00:12:06,640 --> 00:12:09,600 Speaker 1: China's program and where they're below. Okay, pulling out a 230 00:12:09,640 --> 00:12:13,240 Speaker 1: Biden there. As he is continuing to speak and ramble. 231 00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:17,640 Speaker 1: We will continue to roll on that effectively. The news 232 00:12:17,679 --> 00:12:20,800 Speaker 1: that is I think most significant, as he's now saying, 233 00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:25,240 Speaker 1: we shot down three objects that were probably private companies 234 00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:31,440 Speaker 1: or university related balloons materials up there that we're in 235 00:12:31,520 --> 00:12:35,080 Speaker 1: no way connected to China and weren't dangerous to us. 236 00:12:35,559 --> 00:12:38,160 Speaker 1: We'll pull that clip in particular for you. He was 237 00:12:38,280 --> 00:12:40,959 Speaker 1: just saying that when we came out of the Josh 238 00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:44,760 Speaker 1: Holly interview, and will continue a role if he continues 239 00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:48,520 Speaker 1: to take questions as we go forward here, as he's 240 00:12:48,520 --> 00:12:51,520 Speaker 1: finally addressing the three objects that were shot down. Over 241 00:12:51,559 --> 00:12:54,360 Speaker 1: the past week, one report after another, we're hearing about 242 00:12:54,400 --> 00:12:57,640 Speaker 1: how poorly our kids in schools have tested. The Yorks 243 00:12:57,720 --> 00:13:01,400 Speaker 1: they're exceptions, but the overall report is kids in public 244 00:13:01,400 --> 00:13:04,000 Speaker 1: school are not getting the right K to twelve education. 245 00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:07,600 Speaker 1: Hillsdale College understands the importance of education for the future 246 00:13:07,640 --> 00:13:10,680 Speaker 1: of our country, so much so that the college president, 247 00:13:10,760 --> 00:13:13,800 Speaker 1: doctor Larry arn recently spoke out on this topic, which 248 00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:17,400 Speaker 1: you can read in the latest issue of Imprimus. In fact, 249 00:13:17,640 --> 00:13:20,080 Speaker 1: they want you to have ten free print copies of 250 00:13:20,120 --> 00:13:23,960 Speaker 1: this recent issue entitled Education as a Battleground so you 251 00:13:23,960 --> 00:13:26,520 Speaker 1: can share the extra copies with your friends and neighbors. 252 00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:30,120 Speaker 1: Special issue will provide a factual account of what's going 253 00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:35,320 Speaker 1: on over education in that battleground and also explain why 254 00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:38,560 Speaker 1: parents and teachers, not bureaucrats or activists, should guide what 255 00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:41,440 Speaker 1: our children are learning.

Clay Travis 261 00:14:03,120 --> 00:14:08,079 Speaker 1: and Buck Sexton Voices of Sanity and Insane World. Welcome 262 00:14:08,120 --> 00:14:13,400 Speaker 1: back in Clay Travis buck Sexton Show. Joe Biden now 263 00:14:13,520 --> 00:14:17,600 Speaker 1: says he shot down three random objects that were most 264 00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:19,960 Speaker 1: likely connected to private companies. I don't know if we 265 00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:22,040 Speaker 1: have that audio yet, I'm about to tweet it out. 266 00:14:22,040 --> 00:14:29,040 Speaker 1: We'll grab it. And this is this is not a 267 00:14:29,080 --> 00:14:33,400 Speaker 1: good thing for Joe Biden that they're finally speaking out. 268 00:14:33,480 --> 00:14:40,720 Speaker 1: You knew it probably wasn't something significant because they kept saying, well, 269 00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:44,520 Speaker 1: it's really hard to get these objects and they're not 270 00:14:44,720 --> 00:14:49,720 Speaker 1: very big, and it's like super difficult to get. Yeah, 271 00:14:49,760 --> 00:14:55,840 Speaker 1: because you overreacted, this is what happens. Right, Biden should 272 00:14:55,920 --> 00:15:00,040 Speaker 1: have shot down the Chinese spy balloon the moment it 273 00:15:00,280 --> 00:15:02,760 Speaker 1: entered the United States. This is what we told you 274 00:15:03,280 --> 00:15:06,040 Speaker 1: last week, two weeks ago. Whenever the heck the Chinese 275 00:15:06,080 --> 00:15:08,560 Speaker 1: spy balloon first got here. I said, this is not 276 00:15:08,640 --> 00:15:14,480 Speaker 1: a tough call. If a spy device flies into the 277 00:15:14,600 --> 00:15:19,040 Speaker 1: United States, we should shoot it down, right, Like, that's 278 00:15:19,040 --> 00:15:22,600 Speaker 1: a pretty bright line rule. We're not going to allow 279 00:15:22,800 --> 00:15:27,240 Speaker 1: China to fly across our entire country trying to obtain 280 00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:31,120 Speaker 1: intelligence that they can use against us. And I don't 281 00:15:31,120 --> 00:15:34,160 Speaker 1: buy into this idea of well, we knew it was here, 282 00:15:34,240 --> 00:15:36,520 Speaker 1: so we just decided to watch it and see if 283 00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:40,200 Speaker 1: we could learn from it. What that doesn't make any sense? 284 00:15:41,360 --> 00:15:43,880 Speaker 1: And then we waited until it left the continental United 285 00:15:43,920 --> 00:15:46,600 Speaker 1: States and shot it down over the ocean so that 286 00:15:46,640 --> 00:15:48,720 Speaker 1: it would fall in the water and become even more 287 00:15:48,760 --> 00:15:52,440 Speaker 1: difficult to figure out. How. No, it's stupid. Anyone with 288 00:15:52,440 --> 00:15:57,040 Speaker 1: a functional brain understood that this was a goof, and 289 00:15:57,360 --> 00:16:00,320 Speaker 1: the Biden administration essentially admitted that they knew it was 290 00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:05,240 Speaker 1: a goof because they then became incredibly militant when it 291 00:16:05,320 --> 00:16:08,640 Speaker 1: came to other objects that might be flying in the 292 00:16:08,720 --> 00:16:12,200 Speaker 1: United States. And it appears we have just shot down 293 00:16:12,800 --> 00:16:20,720 Speaker 1: three completely random, disconnected from the larger universe of spying. 294 00:16:21,480 --> 00:16:25,240 Speaker 1: It looks like these were just totally private weather related 295 00:16:25,320 --> 00:16:28,720 Speaker 1: apparatus that were flying high up in the air trying 296 00:16:28,720 --> 00:16:32,520 Speaker 1: to discern what the weather might be doing. That's what 297 00:16:32,640 --> 00:16:35,680 Speaker 1: the latest That's what the latest data at least, if 298 00:16:35,720 --> 00:16:38,360 Speaker 1: you want to take Joe Biden at his word, now 299 00:16:38,400 --> 00:16:41,760 Speaker 1: shows we'll have that clip for you when we return, 300 00:16:41,840 --> 00:16:45,520 Speaker 1: which is the essence of what Biden said. Did Biden 301 00:16:46,040 --> 00:16:48,360 Speaker 1: take any questions at all? I don't know if he 302 00:16:48,400 --> 00:16:51,800 Speaker 1: took any questions. If he did, we will potentially grab 303 00:16:51,840 --> 00:16:55,040 Speaker 1: the audio of those questions when we come back. I'll 304 00:16:55,080 --> 00:16:59,000 Speaker 1: also have with you our good buddy Don Lemon. He 305 00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:02,240 Speaker 1: took no questions at all, so he waited nearly a 306 00:17:02,240 --> 00:17:05,080 Speaker 1: week after we shot down. This thing shows up, doesn't 307 00:17:05,119 --> 00:17:09,199 Speaker 1: say much of anything, and then waddles out. Our good 308 00:17:09,240 --> 00:17:12,960 Speaker 1: buddy Don Lemon has weighed in at saying that Nicky 309 00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:15,960 Speaker 1: Haley was past her prime based on his Google search 310 00:17:16,040 --> 00:17:20,159 Speaker 1: that showed women were in their prime in their twenties, thirties, 311 00:17:20,200 --> 00:17:23,600 Speaker 1: and forties. Will play that cut for you from CNN 312 00:17:23,640 --> 00:17:26,920 Speaker 1: again if you haven't already and read you what Don 313 00:17:27,040 --> 00:17:31,960 Speaker 1: Lemon has trotted out there as his pseudo apology to 314 00:17:32,040 --> 00:17:34,760 Speaker 1: the extent that it qualifies as an apology or not. 315 00:17:34,920 --> 00:17:38,120 Speaker 1: Will let you be the judge that will come in 316 00:17:38,160 --> 00:17:42,360 Speaker 1: the next segment.

Okay, we got a lot to hit here. 336 00:18:46,200 --> 00:18:49,320 Speaker 1: There's a lot of breaking news out here. I told 337 00:18:49,320 --> 00:18:50,800 Speaker 1: you yesterday, by the way, that I was going to 338 00:18:50,840 --> 00:18:54,199 Speaker 1: discuss Clarence Thomas and the Uncle Tom allegations. There's so 339 00:18:54,240 --> 00:18:57,720 Speaker 1: many stories breaking right now. Try to get to that tomorrow. 340 00:18:58,359 --> 00:19:03,640 Speaker 1: This just came down. John Fetterman has checked himself into 341 00:19:03,840 --> 00:19:09,320 Speaker 1: Walter Reid to receive treatment for clinical depression. Fetterman obviously 342 00:19:09,400 --> 00:19:14,359 Speaker 1: recently elected to the Senate. I'm reading from this Chief 343 00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:19,119 Speaker 1: of Staff press release. Last night. Senator John Fetterman checked 344 00:19:19,160 --> 00:19:24,520 Speaker 1: himself into Walter Reed National Military Medical Center to receive 345 00:19:24,560 --> 00:19:29,160 Speaker 1: treatment for clinical depression. While John has experienced depression off 346 00:19:29,200 --> 00:19:32,239 Speaker 1: and on throughout his life, it only became severe in 347 00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:37,960 Speaker 1: recent weeks. On Monday, John was evaluated by doctor Brian Monahan, 348 00:19:38,040 --> 00:19:43,200 Speaker 1: attending Physician of the Congress yesterday. He recommended impatient care 349 00:19:43,240 --> 00:19:47,600 Speaker 1: at Walter Reed. John agreed, and he's receiving treatment on 350 00:19:47,600 --> 00:19:51,639 Speaker 1: a voluntary basis. After examining John, the doctors at Walter 351 00:19:51,720 --> 00:19:54,840 Speaker 1: Reed told us John is getting the care he needs 352 00:19:54,880 --> 00:19:59,439 Speaker 1: and will soon be back to himself. I mean, I 353 00:19:59,480 --> 00:20:03,120 Speaker 1: feel I mean, just being honest, first of all, being depressed. 354 00:20:03,119 --> 00:20:05,760 Speaker 1: There's nothing wrong with being depressed, right, So if you 355 00:20:05,800 --> 00:20:08,960 Speaker 1: are out there, particularly for men, if you are out 356 00:20:08,960 --> 00:20:12,160 Speaker 1: there and you are depressed, there's nothing wrong about seeking 357 00:20:12,200 --> 00:20:16,280 Speaker 1: treatment trying to make yourself healthy, better mentally, physically. Okay, 358 00:20:16,600 --> 00:20:19,520 Speaker 1: so let me start with that. I just feel so 359 00:20:19,600 --> 00:20:23,560 Speaker 1: bad for John Fetterman right now. Honestly, I think that 360 00:20:23,640 --> 00:20:29,320 Speaker 1: he has been a pawn that demonstrates how reckless democrat 361 00:20:29,480 --> 00:20:33,960 Speaker 1: pursuit of power is. The guy was not physically healthy 362 00:20:34,080 --> 00:20:38,320 Speaker 1: enough to run for Senate. He's already had to be 363 00:20:38,400 --> 00:20:42,399 Speaker 1: in the hospital. Was that last week? I think because 364 00:20:42,640 --> 00:20:46,720 Speaker 1: he was concerned about his physical health, and now he's 365 00:20:46,720 --> 00:20:52,280 Speaker 1: concerned about his mental health. And I just feel so 366 00:20:52,359 --> 00:20:56,879 Speaker 1: bad that his family didn't step in after this stroke 367 00:20:57,040 --> 00:21:00,760 Speaker 1: that he had that nearly killed him in May and say, 368 00:21:01,480 --> 00:21:07,159 Speaker 1: John Fetterman, you cannot run for Senate right now. And 369 00:21:07,320 --> 00:21:11,840 Speaker 1: anybody who watched that debate against doctor Oz saw how 370 00:21:11,920 --> 00:21:18,199 Speaker 1: reckless it was. I saw doctor Oz Saturday at the 371 00:21:18,240 --> 00:21:21,800 Speaker 1: Super Bowl. He's a big Eagles fan. Talked with him 372 00:21:21,800 --> 00:21:26,280 Speaker 1: for ten or fifteen minutes. Doctor Oz would have been 373 00:21:26,280 --> 00:21:29,480 Speaker 1: able to do that job as Pennsylvania Senator without an 374 00:21:29,480 --> 00:21:33,920 Speaker 1: ounce of difficulty. This is a picture of health. There 375 00:21:33,920 --> 00:21:38,280 Speaker 1: could have been another Pennsylvania Democrat they put forward as 376 00:21:38,800 --> 00:21:43,920 Speaker 1: the nominee, and now this guy's got a six year 377 00:21:44,040 --> 00:21:48,680 Speaker 1: term that he clearly can't serve. I just again, that's 378 00:21:48,760 --> 00:21:53,720 Speaker 1: breaking news. Again. I just feel bad for John Fetterman. 379 00:21:53,840 --> 00:21:57,200 Speaker 1: He's not physically or mentally capable of doing this job, 380 00:21:57,240 --> 00:22:02,080 Speaker 1: and it was self evident. And again I'm not saying 381 00:22:02,119 --> 00:22:04,440 Speaker 1: for those of you out there that have struggles in 382 00:22:04,560 --> 00:22:07,720 Speaker 1: your life, particularly the military. I think one of the 383 00:22:07,720 --> 00:22:11,440 Speaker 1: saddest things that happens in American life is how many 384 00:22:11,440 --> 00:22:14,960 Speaker 1: people serve their country and then come back and commit 385 00:22:15,040 --> 00:22:19,920 Speaker 1: suicide because they have so much post traumatic stress associated 386 00:22:19,960 --> 00:22:22,000 Speaker 1: with that service and they can't get the help that 387 00:22:22,080 --> 00:22:27,040 Speaker 1: they need. It's not weak to need help. But when 388 00:22:27,119 --> 00:22:32,360 Speaker 1: you combine the physical and mental issues that John Fetterman 389 00:22:32,480 --> 00:22:37,040 Speaker 1: has right now, I mean, the guy was just a pawn. 390 00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:41,600 Speaker 1: They just used him. Man. They didn't care about him 391 00:22:41,640 --> 00:22:47,359 Speaker 1: at all, his own family, the entire Democrat Party, the 392 00:22:47,560 --> 00:22:50,959 Speaker 1: entire Democrat apparatus. They lied and said he was healthy. 393 00:22:52,920 --> 00:22:56,199 Speaker 1: Poor guys in the hospital last week for physical issues. 394 00:22:56,320 --> 00:22:58,840 Speaker 1: Now he's in the hospital this week for mental issues. 395 00:22:59,280 --> 00:23:03,240 Speaker 1: He's trying to cover from a stroke. They're gonna kill 396 00:23:03,320 --> 00:23:10,280 Speaker 1: him just because they wanted that seat so desperately, you know. 397 00:23:10,359 --> 00:23:12,520 Speaker 1: I mean we talk about good and evil a lot 398 00:23:12,520 --> 00:23:19,199 Speaker 1: in this country. That's evil. I mean, tell me how 399 00:23:19,240 --> 00:23:24,239 Speaker 1: it's not. I would like to think that all of 400 00:23:24,320 --> 00:23:28,480 Speaker 1: you out there, if your dad, or your husband or 401 00:23:28,520 --> 00:23:36,000 Speaker 1: your grandpa was so physically and mentally in difficult, dire, 402 00:23:36,119 --> 00:23:40,840 Speaker 1: straight circumstances. Remember, we're seeing this publicly that he had 403 00:23:40,880 --> 00:23:43,320 Speaker 1: to check himself into the hospital for treatment, and now 404 00:23:43,320 --> 00:23:46,480 Speaker 1: he's having to check himself physical treatment, now for mental treatment. 405 00:23:47,840 --> 00:23:52,000 Speaker 1: Imagine what they were seeing behind the scenes. This is 406 00:23:52,080 --> 00:23:56,040 Speaker 1: my thing we only see these people for five percent 407 00:23:56,080 --> 00:24:00,479 Speaker 1: of the day at most. Your family knows this truth. 408 00:24:02,160 --> 00:24:05,160 Speaker 1: They see a ninety five percent of the time. They 409 00:24:05,200 --> 00:24:07,040 Speaker 1: know what you'll look like when you go to bed, 410 00:24:07,080 --> 00:24:08,760 Speaker 1: They know what you'll look like when you get out 411 00:24:08,760 --> 00:24:11,080 Speaker 1: of bed. They know what you're like at breakfast, they 412 00:24:11,080 --> 00:24:12,840 Speaker 1: know what you're like at dinner. They know what you're 413 00:24:12,880 --> 00:24:18,320 Speaker 1: like when the cameras aren't rolling. And they let this happen. 414 00:24:19,200 --> 00:24:22,040 Speaker 1: The staff all knew, not only this, they went to 415 00:24:22,200 --> 00:24:26,960 Speaker 1: war with the reporter who said, this guy's physically not 416 00:24:27,160 --> 00:24:30,960 Speaker 1: capable of doing the job. Remember how much they attacked her, 417 00:24:31,680 --> 00:24:34,040 Speaker 1: that NBC reporter who said, yeah, I tried to do 418 00:24:34,080 --> 00:24:41,320 Speaker 1: an interview and he basically couldn't speak. Anybody who watched 419 00:24:41,359 --> 00:24:47,400 Speaker 1: that debate saw this, and I just they're gonna try 420 00:24:47,400 --> 00:24:50,040 Speaker 1: to turn this story into, oh, how dare you bring 421 00:24:50,119 --> 00:24:52,400 Speaker 1: up John Fetterman's health, which is what they said during 422 00:24:52,440 --> 00:24:57,080 Speaker 1: the campaign. My response is, how dare you let this happen? 423 00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:03,320 Speaker 1: How dare you? I hope if I ever have a 424 00:25:03,359 --> 00:25:07,240 Speaker 1: serious health condition, that my wife would say, no, you 425 00:25:07,359 --> 00:25:10,399 Speaker 1: can't do radio, you're not well. My job's not that 426 00:25:10,480 --> 00:25:14,960 Speaker 1: important in the grand scheme of things. Your brain's not 427 00:25:15,040 --> 00:25:17,720 Speaker 1: working like it should be. I don't want you sitting 428 00:25:17,720 --> 00:25:20,520 Speaker 1: down in front of a microphone for three hours every day. 429 00:25:23,359 --> 00:25:25,040 Speaker 1: I would hope my wife would say that. I would 430 00:25:25,040 --> 00:25:27,760 Speaker 1: hope my own parents would say that. I would hope 431 00:25:27,760 --> 00:25:29,800 Speaker 1: as my kids get older that they would say that. 432 00:25:32,200 --> 00:25:34,560 Speaker 1: And I certainly would hope that our staff, who's sitting 433 00:25:34,560 --> 00:25:37,560 Speaker 1: behind the scenes would say that to me, And then 434 00:25:37,560 --> 00:25:42,679 Speaker 1: my co host would say that to me. Lying to 435 00:25:42,760 --> 00:25:47,720 Speaker 1: try to get power at the expense of someone's mental 436 00:25:47,920 --> 00:25:51,760 Speaker 1: and physical health, to me, is frankly flat out evil. 437 00:25:52,200 --> 00:25:58,800 Speaker 1: It's venal, it's indefensible, and we've taken shots. I think 438 00:25:58,840 --> 00:26:02,160 Speaker 1: John Fetterman's wrong on a lot of the issues, virtually 439 00:26:02,200 --> 00:26:05,040 Speaker 1: all of them for Pennsylvania. I mean, he's Bernie Sanders 440 00:26:05,040 --> 00:26:08,440 Speaker 1: in a hoodie. But I want the guy to be okay. 441 00:26:09,880 --> 00:26:12,120 Speaker 1: And right now I just feel awful for him because 442 00:26:12,160 --> 00:26:14,520 Speaker 1: everybody who worked on that Senate campaign knew that he 443 00:26:14,560 --> 00:26:17,919 Speaker 1: wasn't up for the job. His entire family knew that 444 00:26:17,960 --> 00:26:20,880 Speaker 1: he wasn't up for the job. You could see by 445 00:26:20,960 --> 00:26:23,160 Speaker 1: looking at him that he wasn't up for the job. 446 00:26:24,280 --> 00:26:27,600 Speaker 1: And yet they were so desperate and craven in their 447 00:26:27,640 --> 00:26:31,320 Speaker 1: pursuit of power, that they didn't give a damn about him. 448 00:26:34,600 --> 00:26:36,520 Speaker 1: And I don't feel like he can serve six years, 449 00:26:37,640 --> 00:26:40,040 Speaker 1: and that's probably what they thought at the beginning. We're 450 00:26:40,080 --> 00:26:43,760 Speaker 1: just going to drag him across, get him elected, and 451 00:26:43,800 --> 00:26:46,879 Speaker 1: then we'll have the governor appoint a new Senator to 452 00:26:46,960 --> 00:26:51,480 Speaker 1: fulfill his term. He's just a body. We gotta have 453 00:26:51,600 --> 00:26:54,679 Speaker 1: the body right now. We don't care what happens to 454 00:26:54,800 --> 00:27:00,800 Speaker 1: him as soon as he wins this election. Sad man. 455 00:27:01,680 --> 00:27:05,800 Speaker 1: It really is not even just from a political perspective, 456 00:27:05,800 --> 00:27:09,560 Speaker 1: but that a party would be this vial and allow 457 00:27:09,680 --> 00:27:14,640 Speaker 1: this to happen. I feel bad for him, all right, 458 00:27:14,680 --> 00:27:16,760 Speaker 1: So that just happened, So I'm reacting to that. In 459 00:27:16,800 --> 00:27:19,000 Speaker 1: real time we come back, we'll play Joe Biden the 460 00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:20,800 Speaker 1: comments that he made about the three objects that he 461 00:27:20,840 --> 00:27:23,280 Speaker 1: shot down. We'll also tell you what Don Lemon said 462 00:27:23,280 --> 00:27:26,359 Speaker 1: in response to saying a woman's outside of her prime. 463 00:27:26,480 --> 00:27:29,480 Speaker 1: All that still to come, but want to close out 464 00:27:29,560 --> 00:27:31,960 Speaker 1: shop here with this final ad, And I gotta tell 465 00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:35,680 Speaker 1: you about our friends at My Pillow.

Welcome back in Clay Travis Buck Sexton Show. Okay, 481 00:28:26,160 --> 00:28:28,320 Speaker 1: lots of breaking news. I'm trying to keep you guys 482 00:28:28,359 --> 00:28:31,960 Speaker 1: all updated. At the beginning of this hour, Joe Biden 483 00:28:32,080 --> 00:28:36,240 Speaker 1: finally addressed the three objects that he shot down, and 484 00:28:36,440 --> 00:28:40,760 Speaker 1: he said this in in his explanation for what those 485 00:28:40,760 --> 00:28:43,720 Speaker 1: objects were. We don't yet know exactly what these three 486 00:28:43,720 --> 00:28:47,080 Speaker 1: objects were, but nothing, nothing right now suggests they were 487 00:28:47,120 --> 00:28:50,280 Speaker 1: related to Chinese spy balloon program. Or that there were 488 00:28:50,280 --> 00:28:54,600 Speaker 1: Sir Graylan's vehicles from other any other country. Intelligence community's 489 00:28:54,640 --> 00:28:57,600 Speaker 1: current assessment is that these three objects were most likely 490 00:28:57,640 --> 00:29:02,560 Speaker 1: balloons tied to private companies, creation or research institutions studying 491 00:29:02,600 --> 00:29:09,080 Speaker 1: whether or conducting other scientific research. Okay, so this is 492 00:29:09,960 --> 00:29:13,840 Speaker 1: you know, significant in that at least the Biden administration 493 00:29:13,920 --> 00:29:18,320 Speaker 1: has finally put out their explanation basically, first of all, 494 00:29:18,320 --> 00:29:21,760 Speaker 1: do you believe them? I think the real lack of 495 00:29:22,400 --> 00:29:27,400 Speaker 1: sort of moral authority and trustworthiness in this administration comes 496 00:29:27,440 --> 00:29:31,920 Speaker 1: forward when I'm skeptical basically of everything Joe Biden says, 497 00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:34,160 Speaker 1: not only because I think Joe Biden is not capable 498 00:29:34,200 --> 00:29:37,680 Speaker 1: of the job of president, but also because I don't 499 00:29:37,680 --> 00:29:42,600 Speaker 1: even trust that his own administration is being honest with him. 500 00:29:44,080 --> 00:29:45,280 Speaker 1: And I bet a lot of you are kind of 501 00:29:45,280 --> 00:29:48,120 Speaker 1: nodding along, like, yeah, who is the real commander in chief? 502 00:29:48,240 --> 00:29:51,280 Speaker 1: I don't. I think Biden might have been told this. 503 00:29:51,800 --> 00:29:54,680 Speaker 1: That doesn't mean it's true, but that is what he 504 00:29:54,800 --> 00:29:57,800 Speaker 1: is saying, and if it is true, it means that 505 00:29:57,920 --> 00:30:02,760 Speaker 1: Biden wildly overreact acted to the Chinese spy balloon by 506 00:30:02,920 --> 00:30:07,120 Speaker 1: randomly shooting down three objects that posed no actual risk 507 00:30:07,280 --> 00:30:11,600 Speaker 1: to US in any way, and we're not remotely associated 508 00:30:11,640 --> 00:30:17,160 Speaker 1: with foreign spine. So that is that story. Also, we've 509 00:30:17,200 --> 00:30:19,600 Speaker 1: got a couple of other clips out here. We talked 510 00:30:19,720 --> 00:30:24,960 Speaker 1: yesterday about East Palestine. Karine Jean Pierre, the esteemed White 511 00:30:24,960 --> 00:30:29,640 Speaker 1: House Press Secretary, was asked whether the Biden administration had 512 00:30:29,680 --> 00:30:33,240 Speaker 1: confidence in Mayor Pete. Here's what she said, Secretary Hood 513 00:30:33,360 --> 00:30:36,960 Speaker 1: Judge has gotten some criticism of some of it, much 514 00:30:36,960 --> 00:30:40,600 Speaker 1: of it in Ohio, someone from Democrats and Republicants who 515 00:30:40,760 --> 00:30:43,320 Speaker 1: argue that he waited too long to respond, and then 516 00:30:43,400 --> 00:30:46,719 Speaker 1: he has seemed to be fixated on trying to deflect 517 00:30:46,720 --> 00:30:49,640 Speaker 1: the lames of the previous administration. So does the president 518 00:30:49,880 --> 00:30:53,840 Speaker 1: is he satisfied with the government's response to this deillment 519 00:30:54,320 --> 00:30:59,840 Speaker 1: and does he have confidence? I can answer that very quickly, 520 00:31:00,200 --> 00:31:03,840 Speaker 1: very uh with confidence from here that we do have 521 00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:07,360 Speaker 1: absolute confidence in Mayor peat And I will say that 522 00:31:07,480 --> 00:31:13,560 Speaker 1: Secretary Buddha Judge. Uh So there is uh the the 523 00:31:13,560 --> 00:31:16,080 Speaker 1: the answer there about whether or not they had full 524 00:31:16,280 --> 00:31:21,040 Speaker 1: confidence or not uh in the in the Secretary of Transportation. 525 00:31:21,160 --> 00:31:23,800 Speaker 1: I think certainly if you listen to our conversation yesterday 526 00:31:23,840 --> 00:31:27,840 Speaker 1: with Bill Johnson, the congressman who represents East Palestine, it 527 00:31:27,880 --> 00:31:31,720 Speaker 1: would be very difficult to have any confidence whatsoever in 528 00:31:31,760 --> 00:31:35,080 Speaker 1: the leadership that is being that is being directed right 529 00:31:35,120 --> 00:31:40,080 Speaker 1: now by the Secretary of Secretary of Transportation, given what 530 00:31:40,240 --> 00:31:43,800 Speaker 1: is going on there. Also, I told you that I 531 00:31:43,840 --> 00:31:47,200 Speaker 1: would bring with you, uh, the statements that were made 532 00:31:47,760 --> 00:31:51,080 Speaker 1: associated with Don Lemon. Let me play if you miss 533 00:31:51,200 --> 00:31:55,280 Speaker 1: Don Lemon. Earlier, Don Lemon said that women in their 534 00:31:55,360 --> 00:31:58,880 Speaker 1: twenty if once a woman was past her twenties, thirties 535 00:31:58,880 --> 00:32:03,680 Speaker 1: and forties, she was outside of her prime, which is 536 00:32:03,800 --> 00:32:07,240 Speaker 1: a ridiculous statement to make. I believe we have that audio. 537 00:32:07,360 --> 00:32:12,600 Speaker 1: Let's play it. Noticed Nicky Haley when she said that, 538 00:32:13,000 --> 00:32:15,320 Speaker 1: obviously I dig it Biden, but she said seventy five 539 00:32:15,400 --> 00:32:20,120 Speaker 1: and up, so that would include Trump. Elder statesman. Here, 540 00:32:20,360 --> 00:32:23,240 Speaker 1: This all'll talk about age makes me uncomfortable. I think 541 00:32:23,280 --> 00:32:25,440 Speaker 1: that I think it's the wrong road to go down. 542 00:32:25,600 --> 00:32:28,040 Speaker 1: She says. People, you know, politicians are something and not 543 00:32:28,080 --> 00:32:30,320 Speaker 1: in their prime. Nicky Haley isn't in her prime. Sorry. 544 00:32:30,560 --> 00:32:32,360 Speaker 1: When a woman is considered being her prime in her 545 00:32:32,360 --> 00:32:36,640 Speaker 1: twenties and thirties and maybe forties, that's not, according to me, 546 00:32:36,840 --> 00:32:39,840 Speaker 1: prime for what it depends. I mean, it's just like prime. 547 00:32:39,880 --> 00:32:41,440 Speaker 1: If you look it up, it'll if you look, if 548 00:32:41,440 --> 00:32:43,440 Speaker 1: you google when is a woman in her prime, it'll 549 00:32:43,480 --> 00:32:49,840 Speaker 1: say twenties, thirties, and forties. I don't agree with that, Okay, 550 00:32:49,880 --> 00:32:54,360 Speaker 1: So Don Lemon, I'm not understanding just basic level here. 551 00:32:54,440 --> 00:32:58,280 Speaker 1: So Nicky Haley took a dig at both Joe Biden 552 00:32:58,400 --> 00:33:01,200 Speaker 1: and Donald Trump and her announced saying it was time 553 00:33:01,200 --> 00:33:03,959 Speaker 1: for a new generation of leadership. We didn't need leaders 554 00:33:04,000 --> 00:33:06,120 Speaker 1: over the age of seventy five, which is both a 555 00:33:06,160 --> 00:33:10,240 Speaker 1: shot at Joe Biden and Donald Trump. Right. So then 556 00:33:10,280 --> 00:33:13,720 Speaker 1: they're reacting to it on the CNN Morning Show, and 557 00:33:14,200 --> 00:33:17,520 Speaker 1: Don Lemon says that he has a problem with it 558 00:33:17,600 --> 00:33:22,080 Speaker 1: because Nicky Haley, who is fifty one, in his mind, 559 00:33:22,320 --> 00:33:24,840 Speaker 1: is past her prime because she's not in her twenties, 560 00:33:24,880 --> 00:33:29,560 Speaker 1: thirties or forties. And so look, I think probably what 561 00:33:29,680 --> 00:33:33,680 Speaker 1: happened is Don Lemon says he googled when is a 562 00:33:33,760 --> 00:33:37,120 Speaker 1: woman in her prime, which is such a ridiculous form 563 00:33:37,120 --> 00:33:39,600 Speaker 1: of research to do. That was his defense for why 564 00:33:39,600 --> 00:33:44,880 Speaker 1: he had that perspective. So prime is different for different things. Right, 565 00:33:45,200 --> 00:33:48,640 Speaker 1: I'm not in my athletic prime right now, I'm forty three. 566 00:33:48,800 --> 00:33:51,240 Speaker 1: My athletic prime was not great, but it would have 567 00:33:51,320 --> 00:33:54,080 Speaker 1: been around the age of twenty seven or twenty eight. 568 00:33:54,560 --> 00:33:57,480 Speaker 1: If you are fifty one years old right now and 569 00:33:57,560 --> 00:33:59,560 Speaker 1: you are a woman and you are listening to us, 570 00:33:59,600 --> 00:34:02,760 Speaker 1: you are k Hayley's exact same age. You are not 571 00:34:02,840 --> 00:34:07,280 Speaker 1: in your prime for having children. That's not controversial, right. 572 00:34:07,920 --> 00:34:11,120 Speaker 1: Most women would have their children in their twenties, thirties, 573 00:34:11,239 --> 00:34:15,640 Speaker 1: or forties. It doesn't mean that women can't have children older. 574 00:34:16,120 --> 00:34:21,080 Speaker 1: Those are the prime child bearing ages, right, that's not controversial. 575 00:34:21,960 --> 00:34:24,640 Speaker 1: But the idea that a woman would not be in 576 00:34:24,800 --> 00:34:28,680 Speaker 1: her prime to be president at fifty one, I think 577 00:34:28,719 --> 00:34:32,040 Speaker 1: most people out there would say, Hey, if I had 578 00:34:32,120 --> 00:34:35,800 Speaker 1: to pick a decade that the president would his age 579 00:34:36,080 --> 00:34:39,359 Speaker 1: or her age, most people would say the fifties. Right. 580 00:34:39,800 --> 00:34:42,320 Speaker 1: Most people would say, you're old enough to be smart, 581 00:34:42,400 --> 00:34:46,080 Speaker 1: you've probably raised kids, but you're not old enough that 582 00:34:46,120 --> 00:34:50,840 Speaker 1: you're outside of your physical prime. Joe Biden is clearly 583 00:34:50,880 --> 00:34:54,160 Speaker 1: outside of his prime. Whatever you think about him politically, 584 00:34:54,440 --> 00:34:59,080 Speaker 1: he probably hit his prime as a politician in his forties, 585 00:34:59,160 --> 00:35:03,279 Speaker 1: fifties or six. Certainly he's way past his prime now. 586 00:35:04,480 --> 00:35:07,520 Speaker 1: So I just don't think Don Lemon's very smart. And 587 00:35:07,600 --> 00:35:10,839 Speaker 1: I think when he's not the solo host. His lack 588 00:35:10,880 --> 00:35:14,279 Speaker 1: of intelligence is getting exposed even more. But Don Lemon 589 00:35:14,360 --> 00:35:17,520 Speaker 1: put up a tweet and he said, the reference I 590 00:35:17,680 --> 00:35:21,560 Speaker 1: made to a woman's prime this morning was in artful 591 00:35:21,680 --> 00:35:25,399 Speaker 1: and irrelevant, as colleagues and loved ones have pointed out, 592 00:35:25,520 --> 00:35:29,080 Speaker 1: and I regret it. A woman's age doesn't define her, 593 00:35:29,239 --> 00:35:33,359 Speaker 1: either personally or professionally. I have countless women in my 594 00:35:33,400 --> 00:35:38,040 Speaker 1: life who proved that every day. I don't see any way. 595 00:35:38,200 --> 00:35:40,480 Speaker 1: So that's Don Lemon, that's the tweet that he put out. 596 00:35:41,520 --> 00:35:43,680 Speaker 1: I don't see any way that Don Lemon keeps his 597 00:35:43,920 --> 00:35:47,200 Speaker 1: job on this morning show for very much longer, because 598 00:35:47,200 --> 00:35:50,120 Speaker 1: we know for certain that Don Lemon, who is fifty six, 599 00:35:50,680 --> 00:35:54,160 Speaker 1: is not in his prime because he lost his prime 600 00:35:54,200 --> 00:35:58,080 Speaker 1: time television show. In fact, they fired him from that. 601 00:35:58,520 --> 00:36:00,160 Speaker 1: They now put him on as a part of an 602 00:36:00,239 --> 00:36:03,719 Speaker 1: ensemble cast on the CNN Morning Show, and he's the 603 00:36:03,760 --> 00:36:08,160 Speaker 1: worst member of that morning show, alongside of Poppy Harlow 604 00:36:08,320 --> 00:36:11,440 Speaker 1: and Caitlyn Collins. Credit to Poppy Harlow who called him 605 00:36:11,480 --> 00:36:16,719 Speaker 1: out for this comment. But Don Lemon's career is undoubtedly 606 00:36:17,040 --> 00:36:20,239 Speaker 1: past its prime. We'll be back tomorrow with you. We're 607 00:36:20,280 --> 00:36:21,360 Speaker 1: still in our prime
