1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,360 Speaker 1: Welcome to today's edition of the Clay Travis and Buck 2 00:00:03,400 --> 00:00:06,800 Speaker 1: Sexton Show podcast. And here we are in the third 3 00:00:06,800 --> 00:00:10,240 Speaker 1: hour of the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show. As promised, 4 00:00:10,240 --> 00:00:16,079 Speaker 1: We're joined right now by Senator Marsha Blackburne of Tennessee. Senator, 5 00:00:16,200 --> 00:00:19,279 Speaker 1: thanks for coming back, appreciate it. It is good to 6 00:00:19,320 --> 00:00:21,640 Speaker 1: be with you. Thank you so much. So. I'm sure 7 00:00:21,680 --> 00:00:26,239 Speaker 1: you saw the President Biden's speech on the economy just 8 00:00:26,320 --> 00:00:29,200 Speaker 1: a couple of hours ago. Seem like a lot of 9 00:00:29,320 --> 00:00:34,000 Speaker 1: blame deflection, some talking points about lowering prices, not clear 10 00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:37,440 Speaker 1: on how they would actually achieve that. What wore as 11 00:00:37,479 --> 00:00:39,320 Speaker 1: a legislator, as a member of the US Senate, What 12 00:00:39,360 --> 00:00:44,320 Speaker 1: were your biggest takeaway? Senator Biden does not want to 13 00:00:44,360 --> 00:00:47,599 Speaker 1: admit that this is his fault, it is his problem. 14 00:00:47,880 --> 00:00:50,239 Speaker 1: All you have to do is look at what the 15 00:00:50,360 --> 00:00:54,360 Speaker 1: cost were in twenty twenty and compare that to now. 16 00:00:54,920 --> 00:00:57,160 Speaker 1: When you look at a carton of eggs, it's up 17 00:00:57,200 --> 00:01:01,120 Speaker 1: forty three percent. When you look at coffee, it's up 18 00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:04,200 Speaker 1: over one hundred and forty cents for a pound of 19 00:01:04,240 --> 00:01:09,360 Speaker 1: coffee beans. When you look at milk, it is up. 20 00:01:09,959 --> 00:01:12,440 Speaker 1: When you look at bread, it is up, and it's 21 00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:16,840 Speaker 1: going up even more with the situation in Ukraine. Now, 22 00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:21,120 Speaker 1: why did this not happen under President Donald Trump? It 23 00:01:21,319 --> 00:01:26,680 Speaker 1: is because we were energy independent. There was a reduction 24 00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:31,520 Speaker 1: in regulation. We were holding China to account for how 25 00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:36,040 Speaker 1: they dealt with us on trade and other issues, and 26 00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:40,480 Speaker 1: other countries knew they needed to be our friend and 27 00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:45,520 Speaker 1: not our adversary. Senator, appreciate you coming on. There's been 28 00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:49,160 Speaker 1: a lot of talk about the leaked opinion from Justice Alito. 29 00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:53,120 Speaker 1: In the event that that opinion is accurate and Rov 30 00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:57,400 Speaker 1: Wade is overturned and given the power back to the states, 31 00:01:58,080 --> 00:02:00,400 Speaker 1: you are in the Senate. Do you think the Senate 32 00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:03,560 Speaker 1: should have any roll then, or do you believe it 33 00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:05,680 Speaker 1: should just go back to the states and let every 34 00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:09,720 Speaker 1: state make their own determination. Play. What we should do 35 00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:14,679 Speaker 1: is have the states step forward. This is what conservatives 36 00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:19,200 Speaker 1: have fought for for years, to see Row overturned and 37 00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:24,520 Speaker 1: then to see the issue of regulations and restrictions on 38 00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:28,720 Speaker 1: abortion go back to the states. Now, are there some 39 00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:34,040 Speaker 1: areas where the federal government does have some jurisdiction, of course, 40 00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:40,320 Speaker 1: when it comes to report language in budget documents, the 41 00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:47,040 Speaker 1: High Amendment language, the Mexico city policy. Yes, those components 42 00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:50,200 Speaker 1: are there, making certain that no tax pay your funds 43 00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:56,320 Speaker 1: are expended for abortion. There's also the opportunity to do 44 00:02:56,360 --> 00:03:01,440 Speaker 1: a plus up tax credit for expect the moms. Those 45 00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:05,440 Speaker 1: are areas where the federal government will have a say. 46 00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:11,840 Speaker 1: But when it comes to the regulations and restrictions, the 47 00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:16,760 Speaker 1: federal government and federal legislators need to give the states 48 00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:21,800 Speaker 1: the opportunity to exercise the authorities they've been asking for 49 00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:25,280 Speaker 1: and that conservatives have been asking for the states to 50 00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:30,600 Speaker 1: have for decades. We're speaking of Senator Marshall Blackburn of Tennessee. Senator, 51 00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:34,520 Speaker 1: your colleagues and you, of course, passed a bill to 52 00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:39,400 Speaker 1: expand security for Supreme Court justices and for their families, 53 00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:44,840 Speaker 1: their ongoing protests, very aggressive ones at the homes of 54 00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:48,720 Speaker 1: these members of the Supreme Court, obviously targeting people based 55 00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:55,160 Speaker 1: upon perceived political ideology of these justices. So do you 56 00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:57,839 Speaker 1: think that that is sufficient? And what do you think 57 00:03:57,880 --> 00:04:02,560 Speaker 1: about the DOJ in enforcing the federal statute that says 58 00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:05,480 Speaker 1: that you're not allowed, as a matter of law to 59 00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:08,440 Speaker 1: intimidate judges to try to bring about a different outcome. 60 00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:15,320 Speaker 1: The federal statute should be enforced and DJ should move 61 00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:19,440 Speaker 1: forward with going out there rounding up these people that 62 00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:24,680 Speaker 1: are parading in the streets, of blocking the neighborhoods where 63 00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:29,360 Speaker 1: someone who is a federal a Supreme Court justice lives. 64 00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:35,120 Speaker 1: This is against the law. There is a federal statute 65 00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:41,360 Speaker 1: that is there eighteen US fifteen oh three. People can 66 00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:46,680 Speaker 1: look it up. This prohibits this type of using this 67 00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:53,120 Speaker 1: activity in order to influence the outcome of a judicial decision. 68 00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:56,760 Speaker 1: So the step we took is an important step. I 69 00:04:56,839 --> 00:05:00,800 Speaker 1: hope is that the House will join in this. It 70 00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:05,360 Speaker 1: is something that Senator Cotton and I had supported last year. 71 00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:09,159 Speaker 1: We were joined by others on the Republican side of 72 00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:13,359 Speaker 1: the aisle to provide the type security that a judge needs. 73 00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:16,520 Speaker 1: You know, we had a federal judge last year, I 74 00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:20,160 Speaker 1: think it was about fifteen months ago whose son was 75 00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:23,880 Speaker 1: shot when he opened the front door of their home 76 00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:28,200 Speaker 1: thinking that he was opening the door to a delivery man, 77 00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:31,760 Speaker 1: and it turned out to be someone who was trying 78 00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:36,760 Speaker 1: to shoot the judge. Senator I don't know if you've 79 00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:38,680 Speaker 1: seen this news. It just came down a little bit 80 00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:41,520 Speaker 1: earlier today, but I know we've had conversations about this 81 00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:45,320 Speaker 1: with you before as it pertains to the NBA in China. 82 00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:47,880 Speaker 1: But for people out there who have forgotten the NBA 83 00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:51,240 Speaker 1: pulled their All Star game out of Charlotte, North Carolina 84 00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:55,880 Speaker 1: over a transgender bathroom bill, they now the NBA senator 85 00:05:56,040 --> 00:05:59,280 Speaker 1: is going to the UAE, the United Arab Emirates to 86 00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:05,400 Speaker 1: play basketball games in the NBA. The UAE punishes homosexuality 87 00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:09,280 Speaker 1: with death in some cases. What do you think about 88 00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:13,360 Speaker 1: these woke corporations that lecture America and will tell us 89 00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:16,240 Speaker 1: what laws we can and cannot pass here, but then 90 00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:20,839 Speaker 1: they'll go overseas to countries where homosexuality is potentially punished 91 00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:24,320 Speaker 1: by death, show up and play and not uphold American 92 00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:28,719 Speaker 1: values at all. It's astounding to me to see how 93 00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:33,920 Speaker 1: these corporations continue to count out to the Chinese Communist Party, 94 00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:40,719 Speaker 1: how they will set aside their beliefs and principles in 95 00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:44,280 Speaker 1: order to chase the dollar. What they're looking at is 96 00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:50,280 Speaker 1: what they perceive to be a lucrative market, and in 97 00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:55,360 Speaker 1: the interest of profit, they are saying, Okay, we will 98 00:06:55,480 --> 00:06:58,880 Speaker 1: go over here and we will play these games because 99 00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:03,360 Speaker 1: we think it's going to be a revenue stream for us. 100 00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:06,440 Speaker 1: And look at what has happened in China. They're in 101 00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:11,040 Speaker 1: Jinjang where they have their practice academies, and they have 102 00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:16,760 Speaker 1: their facilities, and they have a Nike merchandise licensed, NBA 103 00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:23,080 Speaker 1: licensed merchandise being made by slave labor. And they say 104 00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:29,640 Speaker 1: absolutely nothing about any of that other than the Chinese 105 00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:35,000 Speaker 1: people like basketball. And now you see them moving forward, 106 00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:39,600 Speaker 1: as you said, a new market, a new opportunity for 107 00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:43,040 Speaker 1: them to make more money. So again they set aside 108 00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:47,960 Speaker 1: their beliefs, and they have one set of standards in 109 00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:52,600 Speaker 1: the US, they have another set of standards globally. Instead 110 00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:57,800 Speaker 1: of saying, we are the NBA from the United States 111 00:07:57,840 --> 00:08:02,000 Speaker 1: of America and we're going to stand against these human 112 00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:05,880 Speaker 1: rights violations, we're going to stand against slavery, which is 113 00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:10,080 Speaker 1: what they should do. They should be ambassadors for truth 114 00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:16,320 Speaker 1: and for freedom and for consistency and for pursuing your dreams. 115 00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:21,320 Speaker 1: And that is not what they choose to do because 116 00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:25,760 Speaker 1: they're chasing the profit. Senator Blackburn. In just a couple 117 00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:29,800 Speaker 1: of weeks time, Title forty two was set to end 118 00:08:29,960 --> 00:08:32,640 Speaker 1: at the US Mexico Board of the CDC authority that 119 00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:36,760 Speaker 1: had been used to turn away pretty large percentage of 120 00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:40,400 Speaker 1: illegal migrants over the course the pandemic. A federal judge 121 00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:43,240 Speaker 1: had temporarily blocked it, but it seems it's just a 122 00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:47,080 Speaker 1: matter of time before it is removed. The Title forty 123 00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:50,360 Speaker 1: two authority is gone, and then everyone expects a massive 124 00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:52,920 Speaker 1: surge of illegal crossings at the border. Can you just 125 00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:56,600 Speaker 1: tell us what are the expectations of people like you 126 00:08:56,679 --> 00:08:59,559 Speaker 1: in the Senate and what's going to happen once that 127 00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:05,320 Speaker 1: Once that expires, you're going to see a rush to 128 00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:10,560 Speaker 1: the border. Now, the estimate is that we will go 129 00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:17,199 Speaker 1: from six thousand illegal crossings a day to eighteen thousand 130 00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:21,520 Speaker 1: illegal crossings a day. This is something that has the 131 00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:27,360 Speaker 1: potential to completely overrun our border patrol. What we are 132 00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:32,320 Speaker 1: aware of is that the cartels, having been given a 133 00:09:32,559 --> 00:09:36,800 Speaker 1: six month six week lead time that this was going 134 00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:40,320 Speaker 1: to happen. The cartels are working globally. They are lining 135 00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:44,199 Speaker 1: up people from across the globe. Indeed, last year we 136 00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:48,560 Speaker 1: had people from one hundred and sixty different countries that 137 00:09:48,760 --> 00:09:53,680 Speaker 1: showed up at our border to seek asylum. So the 138 00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:57,440 Speaker 1: cartels are working globally. They are in the process of 139 00:09:57,679 --> 00:10:02,920 Speaker 1: moving vast number some people to the southern border. Then 140 00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:06,920 Speaker 1: they're going to begin to move them to the border 141 00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:13,160 Speaker 1: crossings and push them into US control. Our concern is 142 00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:16,600 Speaker 1: for the safety it's that border. Now. I want you 143 00:10:16,679 --> 00:10:21,520 Speaker 1: to think about this. When I saw this eighteen thousand number, 144 00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:26,280 Speaker 1: I thought, my goodness, how does this relate to my 145 00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:29,720 Speaker 1: state of Tennessee. While in the state of Tennessee we 146 00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:33,800 Speaker 1: have three hundred and forty five cities in towns. Out 147 00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:41,319 Speaker 1: of that number, ninety percent ninety percent are eighteen thousand 148 00:10:41,559 --> 00:10:46,160 Speaker 1: or less in population. I looked up the number when 149 00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:50,520 Speaker 1: it comes to Illinois also. There it was about ninety 150 00:10:50,559 --> 00:10:56,720 Speaker 1: percent were eighteen thousand or less. So you can say 151 00:10:56,760 --> 00:11:02,040 Speaker 1: you've got a typical Tennessee the population equivalent of a 152 00:11:02,240 --> 00:11:08,520 Speaker 1: typical Tennessee town, or the equivalent of a typical Illinois 153 00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:13,200 Speaker 1: town or any other state. I've pulled it for just 154 00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:17,000 Speaker 1: about every state, and that is going to be coming 155 00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:21,280 Speaker 1: to our southern border for an asylum claim every single day. 156 00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:26,400 Speaker 1: So the question is how long can our border patrols 157 00:11:26,520 --> 00:11:31,920 Speaker 1: sustain this? Senator, last question for you. I know you're 158 00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:36,200 Speaker 1: working on protecting kids online. We have seen, certainly in 159 00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:39,440 Speaker 1: the wake of COVID, the overall mental health of children 160 00:11:39,559 --> 00:11:43,080 Speaker 1: taking a precipitous decline that has been occurring really for 161 00:11:43,160 --> 00:11:46,920 Speaker 1: the basically, the rise of social media in general has 162 00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:51,280 Speaker 1: not been healthy to our overall teenagers mental health. What 163 00:11:51,320 --> 00:11:53,480 Speaker 1: are you trying to do to help protect them? Yeah? 164 00:11:53,559 --> 00:11:56,520 Speaker 1: So what? I of course I've got legislation. I have 165 00:11:56,600 --> 00:11:59,160 Speaker 1: the Open App Market Bill that's ready to be marked 166 00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:01,839 Speaker 1: up on the Senate or the Kids Online Safety Act 167 00:12:02,400 --> 00:12:06,079 Speaker 1: that is ready to go through at Senate Commerce Committee. 168 00:12:06,559 --> 00:12:10,960 Speaker 1: In addition to that, we have pulled together a parents 169 00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:15,800 Speaker 1: guide for a way they can increase the protections for 170 00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:19,679 Speaker 1: their children online. Clay, one of the things that we 171 00:12:19,679 --> 00:12:23,520 Speaker 1: were hearing a good bit about from parents and grandparents 172 00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:28,520 Speaker 1: was their concern of what children are being exposed to 173 00:12:29,320 --> 00:12:32,440 Speaker 1: when they are online, with it being pedophiles and drug 174 00:12:32,480 --> 00:12:35,640 Speaker 1: dealers and some of the harms that are coming from 175 00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:40,000 Speaker 1: bullying online. Summer is coming up, we were getting more 176 00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:43,840 Speaker 1: questions from individuals on this issue, so my team and 177 00:12:43,880 --> 00:12:47,360 Speaker 1: I pulled together a guide and people can get it 178 00:12:47,400 --> 00:12:51,800 Speaker 1: from us on social media on our website. This is 179 00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:56,880 Speaker 1: to help parents and grandparents, caregivers of kids to know 180 00:12:57,200 --> 00:13:00,000 Speaker 1: how to help those children take that phone, set those 181 00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:04,600 Speaker 1: privacy guidelines and be able to more effectively monitor what 182 00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:09,120 Speaker 1: children are being exposed to when they get online. Senator 183 00:13:09,120 --> 00:13:12,760 Speaker 1: Marshall Blackburn of Tennessee, everybody, Senator appreciate you. Thanks so much, 184 00:13:13,240 --> 00:13:16,959 Speaker 1: got it, take care of byebye. Cars have horrible timing, folks. 185 00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:18,880 Speaker 1: When it comes to expensive repairs. You know it's going 186 00:13:18,920 --> 00:13:20,160 Speaker 1: to come out of the blue, all of a sudden, 187 00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:23,319 Speaker 1: you're going to have this huge bill. That's why more 188 00:13:23,360 --> 00:13:26,160 Speaker 1: Americans than ever have a protection plan with our friends 189 00:13:26,200 --> 00:13:28,920 Speaker 1: at car Shield.

I guess the answer 215 00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:53,840 Speaker 1: is that I would reverse the oban os. I don't 216 00:14:53,840 --> 00:14:55,840 Speaker 1: own Twitter yet, so this is not like a thing 217 00:14:55,880 --> 00:14:58,040 Speaker 1: that will definitely happen, because what if I don't own Twitter. 218 00:14:58,560 --> 00:15:01,480 Speaker 1: But my opinion, and us want to be clear as shares, 219 00:15:01,520 --> 00:15:06,480 Speaker 1: this opinion is that should not have to events. That's 220 00:15:06,520 --> 00:15:08,920 Speaker 1: Elon from earlier today. Welcome back to clay An Buck 221 00:15:09,080 --> 00:15:12,800 Speaker 1: saying that he will reverse the trump band if he 222 00:15:12,960 --> 00:15:16,040 Speaker 1: owns ends up owning Twitter. Remember that is in process. 223 00:15:16,080 --> 00:15:19,920 Speaker 1: It's not like he's walking in to buy a new lawnmower, 224 00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:22,040 Speaker 1: you know, swipes the credit card and it's all it's 225 00:15:22,040 --> 00:15:25,360 Speaker 1: all done. There's a big process here. There's always the 226 00:15:25,400 --> 00:15:29,080 Speaker 1: possibility of some federal government regulator trying to step in. 227 00:15:29,280 --> 00:15:32,560 Speaker 1: Some on the left have even called for that. Elizabeth 228 00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:37,240 Speaker 1: Warren walking around saying we have to regulate the social 229 00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:40,240 Speaker 1: media companies, and all of a sudden, we have to 230 00:15:40,280 --> 00:15:42,640 Speaker 1: regulate them, Clay, It's it's almost it's almost like when 231 00:15:42,640 --> 00:15:44,720 Speaker 1: they don't have whatever they want, then the rules have 232 00:15:44,800 --> 00:15:48,000 Speaker 1: to change. Yeah, and we were debating that. I mean, 233 00:15:48,040 --> 00:15:50,240 Speaker 1: that's Elon Musk by the way, in London in the 234 00:15:50,320 --> 00:15:53,920 Speaker 1: last hour or so, discussing the potential return of Trump 235 00:15:53,920 --> 00:15:57,200 Speaker 1: to Twitter. I don't know. Again, I think this is 236 00:15:57,200 --> 00:16:00,760 Speaker 1: a huge debate that could play out for some time. 237 00:16:00,800 --> 00:16:02,920 Speaker 1: And I just put up, by the way, this is 238 00:16:02,960 --> 00:16:04,760 Speaker 1: a pole question if you want to go vote at 239 00:16:04,800 --> 00:16:08,360 Speaker 1: Clay Travis. Is Trump coming back to Twitter good or 240 00:16:08,400 --> 00:16:13,800 Speaker 1: bad for a potential twenty twenty four presidential campaign? My 241 00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:16,800 Speaker 1: inclination is kind of like yours, Buck, that it would 242 00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:20,080 Speaker 1: overall be bad. And by the way, let me say this, 243 00:16:20,240 --> 00:16:22,880 Speaker 1: A thousand people have voted in the last couple of 244 00:16:22,920 --> 00:16:25,960 Speaker 1: minutes you can go vote yourself. It's nearly dead, even 245 00:16:26,120 --> 00:16:28,840 Speaker 1: fifty fifty. There are a lot of Trump supporters out 246 00:16:28,840 --> 00:16:30,720 Speaker 1: there on my Twitter feed. It's not like these are 247 00:16:30,960 --> 00:16:33,720 Speaker 1: huge Hillary Clinton people rolling. This is a tough call. 248 00:16:33,960 --> 00:16:36,040 Speaker 1: This is one where I you know, there's some things 249 00:16:36,120 --> 00:16:37,840 Speaker 1: meant a lot of things where I'm like, I'm right, 250 00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:40,440 Speaker 1: and anybody disagrees with me. As rock it's probably ninety percent, 251 00:16:40,520 --> 00:16:42,960 Speaker 1: maybe ninety seven percent of things. This is one where 252 00:16:42,960 --> 00:16:46,560 Speaker 1: I because you're not married, by the way, that percentage dramatically, 253 00:16:46,600 --> 00:16:49,000 Speaker 1: That's what I've been told. Yeah, yes, something looks forward 254 00:16:49,040 --> 00:16:53,160 Speaker 1: to UM. But this is one where I'm persuadable either way. 255 00:16:53,200 --> 00:16:54,640 Speaker 1: I mean, I think you can make a strong case 256 00:16:54,680 --> 00:17:00,360 Speaker 1: that Trump galvanizes the movement, reaches around the goes around 257 00:17:00,400 --> 00:17:04,520 Speaker 1: the mainstream media, and is able to UM, you know, 258 00:17:04,600 --> 00:17:06,480 Speaker 1: bring his message record to the people, and that's really 259 00:17:06,520 --> 00:17:10,119 Speaker 1: port important powerful. But then there's also you know, hashtag 260 00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:14,679 Speaker 1: co fefe and and people kind of getting distracted by 261 00:17:14,760 --> 00:17:17,600 Speaker 1: some of the random things that Trump would would go 262 00:17:17,640 --> 00:17:20,920 Speaker 1: off on tangents about UM and so you know, I 263 00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:23,159 Speaker 1: don't know. I mean, it's great for us if he 264 00:17:23,200 --> 00:17:26,000 Speaker 1: has the Twitter, but is it best for the party, 265 00:17:26,080 --> 00:17:28,719 Speaker 1: for the country, for the for the American people, if 266 00:17:28,720 --> 00:17:30,640 Speaker 1: he has Twitter back, I don't know. And then there's 267 00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:34,560 Speaker 1: also the possible contractual issues that come up as a 268 00:17:34,560 --> 00:17:36,480 Speaker 1: result of truth social I don't know what those are, 269 00:17:36,520 --> 00:17:39,080 Speaker 1: but there they could be there. I can't imagine that 270 00:17:39,119 --> 00:17:42,639 Speaker 1: they gave him hundreds of millions of dollars potentially in 271 00:17:42,760 --> 00:17:47,480 Speaker 1: equity in that company without restricting him contractually to being 272 00:17:47,520 --> 00:17:48,919 Speaker 1: able to go back to Twitter. By the way, you know, 273 00:17:49,040 --> 00:17:51,160 Speaker 1: Biden says that Republicans want to raise taxes, you want 274 00:17:51,160 --> 00:17:53,160 Speaker 1: to come back, and that's from the speech. I mean, 275 00:17:53,160 --> 00:17:55,160 Speaker 1: we got to delve into a couple of the craziest 276 00:17:55,160 --> 00:17:57,520 Speaker 1: things he said. We'll get to it in a moment. Look, 277 00:17:57,520 --> 00:17:59,840 Speaker 1: if you own a business and you have five or 278 00:17:59,840 --> 00:18:02,160 Speaker 1: more employees and manage to survive COVID as a business, 279 00:18:02,240 --> 00:18:06,040 Speaker 1: you're eligible to receive a payroll tax rebate of twenty 280 00:18:06,160 --> 00:18:10,280 Speaker 1: six thousand dollars per employee.

We played 301 00:19:17,320 --> 00:19:20,040 Speaker 1: the clip of you for you guys of Elon must 302 00:19:20,080 --> 00:19:24,320 Speaker 1: saying he would end the band, and almost ten thousand 303 00:19:24,320 --> 00:19:26,800 Speaker 1: people have voted and it's fifty five forty five on 304 00:19:26,920 --> 00:19:29,440 Speaker 1: whether it's good or bad for Trump in twenty twenty four. 305 00:19:29,560 --> 00:19:33,040 Speaker 1: To be back on Twitter, Joe Biden obviously has been 306 00:19:33,080 --> 00:19:35,960 Speaker 1: talking about inflation. And there was a report buck not 307 00:19:36,040 --> 00:19:38,760 Speaker 1: only that Joe Biden couldn't see the teleprompter because it 308 00:19:38,840 --> 00:19:42,560 Speaker 1: was not it wouldn't fit in in the White House 309 00:19:43,080 --> 00:19:46,920 Speaker 1: in the Oval office. But there are reports in Politico 310 00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:50,879 Speaker 1: that Biden is wanting to run against Trump, and Trump 311 00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:54,119 Speaker 1: is wanting to run against Biden, but neither guy wants 312 00:19:54,160 --> 00:19:56,600 Speaker 1: to be the first to officially announced that he's going 313 00:19:56,640 --> 00:19:59,080 Speaker 1: to run again. What do you think the chances are 314 00:19:59,119 --> 00:20:02,080 Speaker 1: that we get Trump Biden Part two? If you were 315 00:20:02,160 --> 00:20:05,800 Speaker 1: betting right now on trying to set the odds here 316 00:20:06,280 --> 00:20:10,320 Speaker 1: of a rematch in the presidential election, which doesn't happen 317 00:20:10,960 --> 00:20:14,840 Speaker 1: very often, right a direct rematch of the prior election, 318 00:20:15,480 --> 00:20:19,240 Speaker 1: you optimistic or pessimistic? And maybe the answer is both 319 00:20:19,560 --> 00:20:22,400 Speaker 1: about the idea of Biden versus Trump. I think it's 320 00:20:22,600 --> 00:20:25,960 Speaker 1: I think it's a fifty fifty shot right now that 321 00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:29,439 Speaker 1: you have both Biden, these two things have to happen, 322 00:20:29,640 --> 00:20:34,000 Speaker 1: right Biden has to run again, which I think is 323 00:20:34,440 --> 00:20:38,320 Speaker 1: better than fifty fifty, and then that it's Trump again. 324 00:20:38,560 --> 00:20:42,160 Speaker 1: Would be, in my mind also better than fifty five. 325 00:20:42,280 --> 00:20:44,280 Speaker 1: I mean, look, my math is not adding up here. 326 00:20:44,359 --> 00:20:46,280 Speaker 1: That's not the point. I'm doing math in real time. 327 00:20:46,680 --> 00:20:48,600 Speaker 1: I think. I think you're looking at fifty fifty that 328 00:20:48,720 --> 00:20:54,879 Speaker 1: both Biden chooses to run and Trump is the nominee 329 00:20:54,880 --> 00:20:56,920 Speaker 1: and runs against him. I think it's a fifty fifty 330 00:20:56,920 --> 00:20:59,199 Speaker 1: shot that both of those things happen. All right, I 331 00:20:59,200 --> 00:21:00,960 Speaker 1: want to hit you with this too, because I'm curious. 332 00:21:00,960 --> 00:21:03,840 Speaker 1: What you're read is, as as we've said before, not 333 00:21:04,040 --> 00:21:07,560 Speaker 1: a big time sports fan. So this woke politics era 334 00:21:07,680 --> 00:21:12,280 Speaker 1: that we're in where you have Disney, for instance, lecturing 335 00:21:12,320 --> 00:21:16,360 Speaker 1: the American public, but they'll do whatever China wants basically, 336 00:21:16,440 --> 00:21:18,000 Speaker 1: and let me give you, by the way, a shout 337 00:21:18,040 --> 00:21:20,680 Speaker 1: out a positive thing here. Do you see a story? 338 00:21:20,760 --> 00:21:23,560 Speaker 1: Sony refused to take the Statue of Liberty out of 339 00:21:23,600 --> 00:21:26,240 Speaker 1: the New Spider Man movie, and as a result, Sony, 340 00:21:26,280 --> 00:21:29,280 Speaker 1: which is Japanese company and has no love loss for China, 341 00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:32,280 Speaker 1: as a result, they wouldn't allow the New Spider Man 342 00:21:32,400 --> 00:21:34,919 Speaker 1: movie to be released in China. But Sony stood up 343 00:21:34,960 --> 00:21:38,520 Speaker 1: more for America. I think, is that not true? I've 344 00:21:38,560 --> 00:21:40,960 Speaker 1: heard and this I don't know. This is just based 345 00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:43,360 Speaker 1: on what I've been reading, but that it actually would 346 00:21:43,359 --> 00:21:46,560 Speaker 1: have been super expensive to do that. So you're not 347 00:21:46,600 --> 00:21:49,720 Speaker 1: giving them the benefit of the doubt here. I've seen 348 00:21:49,720 --> 00:21:51,520 Speaker 1: the most recents by rose See, I don't know how 349 00:21:51,600 --> 00:21:53,560 Speaker 1: much is the Statue of Liberty really in it. It's 350 00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:56,800 Speaker 1: in it a decent amount. So then it does make 351 00:21:56,840 --> 00:21:58,720 Speaker 1: me think that cost may have been because, you know, 352 00:21:58,960 --> 00:22:01,560 Speaker 1: doing the pixelation or whatever they do to remove I 353 00:22:01,560 --> 00:22:03,440 Speaker 1: don't work for Pixar. I don't know how this stuff goes, 354 00:22:04,080 --> 00:22:07,199 Speaker 1: but doing the things that they would do to remove it, 355 00:22:07,200 --> 00:22:08,840 Speaker 1: I think there's an expense. Look, maybe it was a 356 00:22:08,880 --> 00:22:12,000 Speaker 1: combination of factors. I also do think they realize if 357 00:22:12,040 --> 00:22:14,080 Speaker 1: you remove the Statue of Liberty from a movie and 358 00:22:14,119 --> 00:22:16,439 Speaker 1: the American people find out about it, you're an American company, 359 00:22:16,760 --> 00:22:20,119 Speaker 1: You're going to get heat. I do think I do 360 00:22:20,200 --> 00:22:21,760 Speaker 1: think that there's a little bit of a change in 361 00:22:21,800 --> 00:22:24,480 Speaker 1: perception in corporate America about that now. I think the 362 00:22:24,520 --> 00:22:28,840 Speaker 1: Disney lessons, I think, you know, sometimes you gotta sometimes 363 00:22:28,840 --> 00:22:30,560 Speaker 1: you throw one punch in the schoolyard and all of 364 00:22:30,560 --> 00:22:32,600 Speaker 1: a sudden, all the bullies go, oh, that that doesn't 365 00:22:32,640 --> 00:22:37,840 Speaker 1: look much fun. But also clay On the hypocrisy point. Yes, 366 00:22:37,880 --> 00:22:42,359 Speaker 1: it is hypocrisy when lib companies or the directors the 367 00:22:42,440 --> 00:22:45,679 Speaker 1: CEOs of powerful media companies in America, or in this 368 00:22:45,720 --> 00:22:49,520 Speaker 1: case sports, right when they in the case of playing 369 00:22:49,520 --> 00:22:52,879 Speaker 1: the whether they're playing in the UAE. Right, yeah, YEA 370 00:22:53,119 --> 00:22:56,960 Speaker 1: which pulled its All Star game out of Charlotte over 371 00:22:57,040 --> 00:23:00,800 Speaker 1: a transgender bathroom bill, is now going to play games 372 00:23:00,920 --> 00:23:04,720 Speaker 1: in the UAE, which punishes at times homosexuality with death. 373 00:23:05,040 --> 00:23:08,520 Speaker 1: The reality of why this keeps happening. First of all, 374 00:23:08,600 --> 00:23:11,439 Speaker 1: hypocrisy doesn't bother liberals right, because part of part of 375 00:23:11,440 --> 00:23:13,800 Speaker 1: their mentality is we do what we want to do 376 00:23:13,840 --> 00:23:15,280 Speaker 1: when we want to do it, and so if we 377 00:23:15,400 --> 00:23:18,520 Speaker 1: change our mind because we prefer this outcome, we don't 378 00:23:18,560 --> 00:23:21,440 Speaker 1: pretend to the meeting. The leftist mindset is, we don't 379 00:23:21,440 --> 00:23:24,200 Speaker 1: pretend to have consistent standards really, But if you want 380 00:23:24,200 --> 00:23:27,160 Speaker 1: to even get beyond that, they want to that they 381 00:23:27,160 --> 00:23:31,720 Speaker 1: take action domestically in favor of wokeness because that's what 382 00:23:31,880 --> 00:23:39,239 Speaker 1: gets their preferred constituency fired up. The left wing, the 383 00:23:39,359 --> 00:23:42,600 Speaker 1: left wing Biden voters who see this stuff and say 384 00:23:42,640 --> 00:23:45,440 Speaker 1: to themselves, yeah, that's right. Show the state of North 385 00:23:45,440 --> 00:23:48,679 Speaker 1: Carolina what's going on. They don't care about what happens 386 00:23:48,680 --> 00:23:50,960 Speaker 1: in China. They don't care about human rights in China. 387 00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:53,920 Speaker 1: It's all just virtue signaling. To them. It doesn't really matter. 388 00:23:54,320 --> 00:23:57,119 Speaker 1: So that's why it's not surprising, Still still worthwhile for 389 00:23:57,160 --> 00:23:59,400 Speaker 1: us to point out the hypocrisy. But when you understand 390 00:23:59,600 --> 00:24:04,000 Speaker 1: the most ovation of companies taking that action to punish 391 00:24:04,040 --> 00:24:06,399 Speaker 1: let's say North Carolina over the bathroom bill, the NBA 392 00:24:06,480 --> 00:24:09,560 Speaker 1: doing that is not because they really fundamentally care about 393 00:24:09,640 --> 00:24:12,320 Speaker 1: human rights. It's because they want people who are left 394 00:24:12,320 --> 00:24:14,680 Speaker 1: of center to think well of them, and they don't. 395 00:24:14,760 --> 00:24:17,560 Speaker 1: It doesn't have the same calculation for what's going on 396 00:24:17,600 --> 00:24:19,720 Speaker 1: in China every day. It's not really about human rights. 397 00:24:19,720 --> 00:24:23,000 Speaker 1: It's about virtue signaling. Yeah, I think that's right. And this, 398 00:24:23,119 --> 00:24:26,240 Speaker 1: to me is the lesson that comes from that. When 399 00:24:26,320 --> 00:24:29,520 Speaker 1: you throw a punch like De Santis throw a punch 400 00:24:29,560 --> 00:24:33,760 Speaker 1: at Disney and it lands squarely on their chin, and 401 00:24:33,920 --> 00:24:36,320 Speaker 1: suddenly at your analogy of the bully and the fight 402 00:24:36,359 --> 00:24:39,880 Speaker 1: in the schoolyard, I think makes sense. Suddenly you realize 403 00:24:40,280 --> 00:24:42,439 Speaker 1: that you have to be conscious that that punch may 404 00:24:42,480 --> 00:24:46,240 Speaker 1: be coming. I think the NBA has been knocked down 405 00:24:46,480 --> 00:24:51,280 Speaker 1: a couple of times over this hypocrisy and going to 406 00:24:51,359 --> 00:24:54,080 Speaker 1: the UAE. If the NBA would just come out and say, hey, 407 00:24:54,080 --> 00:24:56,200 Speaker 1: you know what, we're a for profit company and we're 408 00:24:56,200 --> 00:24:58,320 Speaker 1: trying to make as much money as we possibly can, 409 00:24:58,760 --> 00:25:03,440 Speaker 1: I would say, okay, right, But when you lecture us domestically, 410 00:25:04,160 --> 00:25:06,440 Speaker 1: I think there's a huge segment of the population that 411 00:25:06,560 --> 00:25:10,280 Speaker 1: sees stories like these, and the NBA is leaving its 412 00:25:10,359 --> 00:25:13,960 Speaker 1: chin open and they are taking some massive punches, and 413 00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:18,840 Speaker 1: so I just I think it does register with that 414 00:25:19,080 --> 00:25:22,919 Speaker 1: twenty percent persuadable middle. But they're taking those punches because 415 00:25:23,400 --> 00:25:26,760 Speaker 1: people like me refuse to watch the NBA anymore. Yeah, 416 00:25:26,840 --> 00:25:29,200 Speaker 1: that's a part of this is that conservatives have finally 417 00:25:29,280 --> 00:25:34,280 Speaker 1: said and it's even more of just a content consumption decision. 418 00:25:34,320 --> 00:25:37,000 Speaker 1: I think then, one that you think of as overtly political. 419 00:25:37,040 --> 00:25:39,400 Speaker 1: I just get so. I'm not saying I'm a part 420 00:25:39,440 --> 00:25:41,560 Speaker 1: of a boycott or I was a huge NBA watcher 421 00:25:41,600 --> 00:25:43,080 Speaker 1: for a long time ago. I did actually grow up 422 00:25:43,080 --> 00:25:46,480 Speaker 1: watching NBA games pretty pretty regularly, but I just they 423 00:25:46,520 --> 00:25:48,800 Speaker 1: just annoyed me too much after a while, with this stuff, 424 00:25:48,880 --> 00:25:51,080 Speaker 1: with with the nonsense, with the standing in the middle 425 00:25:51,080 --> 00:25:53,119 Speaker 1: of the court, with the hoodies up and the and 426 00:25:53,280 --> 00:25:55,600 Speaker 1: all you know and all the social justice stuff, and 427 00:25:55,600 --> 00:25:58,520 Speaker 1: then of course the same thing at some level with 428 00:25:58,560 --> 00:26:01,560 Speaker 1: the NFL. The reason that this has changed, the reason 429 00:26:01,600 --> 00:26:03,280 Speaker 1: the calculation has changed, is that a lot of people, 430 00:26:03,320 --> 00:26:05,720 Speaker 1: including people listen to this show, said I'm just not 431 00:26:05,760 --> 00:26:08,359 Speaker 1: going to support them anymore. And so now that doesn't 432 00:26:08,359 --> 00:26:10,640 Speaker 1: mean you can never support them, but it does mean 433 00:26:10,680 --> 00:26:12,800 Speaker 1: that they have to feel you know, it's the same thing. Right, 434 00:26:13,000 --> 00:26:15,200 Speaker 1: you can cut your Disney Plus subscription. And if Disney 435 00:26:15,200 --> 00:26:16,920 Speaker 1: puts out a statement in six months or a year 436 00:26:17,040 --> 00:26:19,520 Speaker 1: or changes its behavior in a way that shows that 437 00:26:19,560 --> 00:26:22,600 Speaker 1: they take the concerns of parents who don't want this 438 00:26:22,640 --> 00:26:25,919 Speaker 1: indoctrination stuff seriously, well then yeah, go to Disney, right, 439 00:26:25,960 --> 00:26:27,040 Speaker 1: go to Disney World. I mean, I know you just 440 00:26:27,080 --> 00:26:29,800 Speaker 1: got back from Disney World, but I'm saying, you know, 441 00:26:29,840 --> 00:26:32,399 Speaker 1: there has to be some trips scheduled. But yeah, but 442 00:26:32,440 --> 00:26:33,560 Speaker 1: you know what I mean. I'm saying, there has to 443 00:26:33,600 --> 00:26:35,880 Speaker 1: be some cause and effect rights. It's meant to bring 444 00:26:35,920 --> 00:26:39,040 Speaker 1: about a certain outcome, and we actually want Disney to 445 00:26:39,119 --> 00:26:41,000 Speaker 1: be a company that's making great stuff for kids and 446 00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:43,240 Speaker 1: allowing kids to have a lot of fun. But that 447 00:26:43,320 --> 00:26:45,240 Speaker 1: means that the right has to have their voices heard too, 448 00:26:45,280 --> 00:26:48,119 Speaker 1: that's all. It can't just be that the left boycotts, 449 00:26:48,119 --> 00:26:50,920 Speaker 1: the left mobilizes, they get their way with all this stuff. 450 00:26:50,920 --> 00:26:52,560 Speaker 1: And I think it's been true in sports, it's now 451 00:26:52,640 --> 00:26:56,400 Speaker 1: true and really all aspects of entertainment, media, it's all 452 00:26:56,400 --> 00:26:59,000 Speaker 1: over the place. There have to be consequences. I don't 453 00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:01,600 Speaker 1: think there's any doubt. Biden got asked, by the way, 454 00:27:01,680 --> 00:27:03,040 Speaker 1: let's play this when we come back, because I think 455 00:27:03,040 --> 00:27:05,199 Speaker 1: people are going to enjoy it. Senator Rick Scott of Florida, 456 00:27:05,240 --> 00:27:07,920 Speaker 1: speaking of Florida, said that if Biden really wanted to 457 00:27:07,960 --> 00:27:11,320 Speaker 1: get control of inflation, he would resign. Biden got asked 458 00:27:11,320 --> 00:27:15,479 Speaker 1: about that, and in his anti inflation speech, I think 459 00:27:15,520 --> 00:27:18,360 Speaker 1: you guys are going to enjoy the result. In the meantime, 460 00:27:18,440 --> 00:27:21,240 Speaker 1: interest rates, we know they're not looking good. In fact, 461 00:27:21,320 --> 00:27:24,280 Speaker 1: last week's federate increase is not the last one we're 462 00:27:24,280 --> 00:27:26,480 Speaker 1: going to see this year. And whether it's your mortgage, 463 00:27:26,480 --> 00:27:30,399 Speaker 1: credit cards, whatever you are paying interest on, you're in 464 00:27:30,480 --> 00:27:33,640 Speaker 1: jeopardy having to pay a lot more. And you don't 465 00:27:33,640 --> 00:27:36,800 Speaker 1: want that to happen without making the right decisions. That's 466 00:27:36,840 --> 00:27:40,040 Speaker 1: why you need to call American Financing. They're the company 467 00:27:40,080 --> 00:27:42,480 Speaker 1: that we rely on to get hooked up with mortgages, 468 00:27:42,520 --> 00:27:45,320 Speaker 1: and they will do the same for you.

There have 499 00:29:28,880 --> 00:29:33,200 Speaker 1: been in recent years more and more people who have 500 00:29:33,240 --> 00:29:35,720 Speaker 1: been coming forward to say, look, I don't want to 501 00:29:35,720 --> 00:29:38,360 Speaker 1: sound crazy, all right, I'm not trying to say there's 502 00:29:38,640 --> 00:29:43,120 Speaker 1: little greed men about to overthrow the governments of countries 503 00:29:43,160 --> 00:29:45,720 Speaker 1: all over the world, etc. But there is some weird 504 00:29:45,760 --> 00:29:50,000 Speaker 1: stuff that at least deserves some explanation. Here is this funny. 505 00:29:50,120 --> 00:29:54,240 Speaker 1: I have no idea where you you know, are are 506 00:29:54,280 --> 00:29:57,840 Speaker 1: you Scully or Molder? You know? Where do you fall 507 00:29:58,360 --> 00:30:01,480 Speaker 1: on the that's for those of course, that's a reference 508 00:30:01,520 --> 00:30:04,240 Speaker 1: to the X Files, which I didn't see that much 509 00:30:04,240 --> 00:30:06,120 Speaker 1: of. I I saw some of. Are you a believer or 510 00:30:06,120 --> 00:30:09,440 Speaker 1: a skeptic when it comes to UFO's clay, I'm a believer. 511 00:30:10,440 --> 00:30:16,600 Speaker 1: I just I think every generation thinks that they know everything, 512 00:30:17,000 --> 00:30:20,840 Speaker 1: doesn't matter what the subject is. If you went back 513 00:30:20,840 --> 00:30:23,360 Speaker 1: and read in the seventeen hundreds, people are like, this 514 00:30:23,440 --> 00:30:25,800 Speaker 1: era is the most brilliant ever. And it's always true 515 00:30:25,840 --> 00:30:29,360 Speaker 1: because you're advancing in terms of the knowledge of society 516 00:30:29,400 --> 00:30:32,720 Speaker 1: as a whole. So I think that there's tons of 517 00:30:32,720 --> 00:30:36,160 Speaker 1: things we don't know about the larger universe, and I 518 00:30:36,240 --> 00:30:40,160 Speaker 1: believe that there are there is likely intelligent life somewhere 519 00:30:40,280 --> 00:30:44,720 Speaker 1: else in the cosmos, And so I believe in UFOs. 520 00:30:44,800 --> 00:30:47,280 Speaker 1: I think that not only is intelligent life exists, I 521 00:30:47,320 --> 00:30:49,640 Speaker 1: think that they've probably visited our planet at some point 522 00:30:49,640 --> 00:30:53,840 Speaker 1: in time. What about you the best, I'm a little 523 00:30:53,880 --> 00:30:56,560 Speaker 1: more skeptical, a little more skeptical. I don't know. I'm 524 00:30:56,600 --> 00:30:58,320 Speaker 1: not buying it. I feel like, first of all, it's 525 00:30:58,320 --> 00:31:01,040 Speaker 1: always why is it always so shady? Like, shouldn't at 526 00:31:01,040 --> 00:31:03,320 Speaker 1: some point, should't we just have found some flying saucers. 527 00:31:03,320 --> 00:31:06,080 Speaker 1: I think they're probably so way smarter than us. You 528 00:31:06,120 --> 00:31:08,080 Speaker 1: think they're way smarter than us. I mean, they're way 529 00:31:08,080 --> 00:31:10,360 Speaker 1: smarter than me. If they're coming to our planet, then 530 00:31:10,520 --> 00:31:12,520 Speaker 1: we can't figure out how to get to their planet 531 00:31:12,600 --> 00:31:15,160 Speaker 1: or their location wherever it might be. So yeah, I 532 00:31:15,560 --> 00:31:18,280 Speaker 1: believe in alien life somewhere in the cosmos, and I 533 00:31:18,320 --> 00:31:22,719 Speaker 1: think it's visited here. The greatest alien visits Earth movie 534 00:31:23,000 --> 00:31:25,440 Speaker 1: is I guess there's probably an obvious answer, but we 535 00:31:25,520 --> 00:31:28,960 Speaker 1: haven't really You know, this is a good question. You know, 536 00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:32,200 Speaker 1: there's a recent one that I can't even remember. I 537 00:31:32,200 --> 00:31:35,000 Speaker 1: think I have like Jodie Foster as a contact. I 538 00:31:35,040 --> 00:31:36,680 Speaker 1: think it's called Is that right? I think it's I 539 00:31:36,680 --> 00:31:39,360 Speaker 1: think that might be it. I thought that was pretty good. Yeah, um, 540 00:31:39,560 --> 00:31:41,000 Speaker 1: I would I would have thought you would have gone 541 00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:43,840 Speaker 1: ET given you guys. Oh well, I haven't watched ET 542 00:31:44,040 --> 00:31:47,160 Speaker 1: with the boys. I haven't seen ET and probably kids 543 00:31:47,400 --> 00:31:49,640 Speaker 1: now because it's a sad ending. See this is where 544 00:31:49,720 --> 00:31:52,640 Speaker 1: Uncle Buck comes through big or No, it's too saying 545 00:31:52,760 --> 00:31:57,480 Speaker 1: unhealthy delicious. You don't have to worry about the tears. 546 00:31:57,760 --> 00:32:00,440 Speaker 1: I don't want to watch super sad movie movies like 547 00:32:00,480 --> 00:32:03,360 Speaker 1: ET has got a pretty sad component, know what you know? Which, 548 00:32:03,360 --> 00:32:05,960 Speaker 1: speaking of UFOs of you know what? Really what really 549 00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:07,800 Speaker 1: busted me up back in the day. I don't know 550 00:32:07,840 --> 00:32:11,360 Speaker 1: if he saw this one. This is about Sasquatch obviously, 551 00:32:11,920 --> 00:32:14,360 Speaker 1: uh or the squatch to those who I believe who 552 00:32:14,640 --> 00:32:19,440 Speaker 1: were believers, Harry and one that one was rough. That 553 00:32:19,600 --> 00:32:21,320 Speaker 1: was like Old Yeller for me at the end, man, 554 00:32:21,400 --> 00:32:23,480 Speaker 1: I was I was bustled up by Harry and the 555 00:32:23,520 --> 00:32:26,400 Speaker 1: Henderson's like he was a nice Sasquatch, he was a 556 00:32:26,400 --> 00:32:29,640 Speaker 1: good sas Do you know what book broke me? Uh? 557 00:32:29,880 --> 00:32:31,520 Speaker 1: Back when I was a young kid, did you ever 558 00:32:31,560 --> 00:32:35,560 Speaker 1: read Where the Red Fern Grows. I kind of vaguely 559 00:32:35,600 --> 00:32:38,320 Speaker 1: remember it, but not really. Well, there were two dogs 560 00:32:39,760 --> 00:32:45,000 Speaker 1: hunting dogs, and it's even worse than Old Yeller. Uh. 561 00:32:45,120 --> 00:32:47,120 Speaker 1: And I know there's people out there right now who 562 00:32:47,120 --> 00:32:48,960 Speaker 1: are like, oh, thanks for bringing up Where the Red 563 00:32:49,000 --> 00:32:53,760 Speaker 1: Fern Goes. I just remember being utterly crushed spoiler alert 564 00:32:53,800 --> 00:32:55,720 Speaker 1: by what happens at the end of Where the Red 565 00:32:55,720 --> 00:32:57,960 Speaker 1: Fern Grows. So I don't even know that I would 566 00:32:58,040 --> 00:33:00,760 Speaker 1: let my kids read that book. It's like Old Yeller, 567 00:33:00,960 --> 00:33:05,760 Speaker 1: except twice as bad. Yeah, so there's some very good 568 00:33:06,400 --> 00:33:08,480 Speaker 1: There was a period I think it like mid late nineties, 569 00:33:08,640 --> 00:33:13,719 Speaker 1: UFOs became a particular fixation, right, it became something. There 570 00:33:13,760 --> 00:33:16,680 Speaker 1: was that movie Fire in the Sky, which was about 571 00:33:16,720 --> 00:33:19,480 Speaker 1: alien Remember that was the premise abduction, right, Yeah, the 572 00:33:19,480 --> 00:33:21,959 Speaker 1: premise for a while was the alien abduction thing. Yes, 573 00:33:22,080 --> 00:33:24,040 Speaker 1: where they'd grabbed some guy and of course after he'd 574 00:33:24,080 --> 00:33:26,040 Speaker 1: run into the town he be having flashbacks. He's like, 575 00:33:26,080 --> 00:33:29,160 Speaker 1: I swear the aliens all grabby and everyone's like you're crazy, 576 00:33:29,240 --> 00:33:31,040 Speaker 1: and then yeah, right, you know that that was the 577 00:33:31,120 --> 00:33:34,480 Speaker 1: thing for a while. Um, but you know, the UFO hearing, 578 00:33:34,560 --> 00:33:38,880 Speaker 1: I've I've seen some stuff on this that does require 579 00:33:38,920 --> 00:33:42,640 Speaker 1: There's been some you know, little lights flicking flickering around 580 00:33:42,640 --> 00:33:44,719 Speaker 1: the screen, and you know, there's been some stuff that 581 00:33:45,080 --> 00:33:48,840 Speaker 1: people in the military have seen and you can't explain, 582 00:33:49,160 --> 00:33:52,160 Speaker 1: and they can't explain. So I'm I'm all in favor 583 00:33:52,200 --> 00:33:54,480 Speaker 1: of like, let's keep it real, let's keep it rational, right, 584 00:33:54,600 --> 00:33:57,080 Speaker 1: But if they can't explain it, well, then we should 585 00:33:57,080 --> 00:33:59,080 Speaker 1: at least be open to the possibility that there are 586 00:33:59,160 --> 00:34:03,520 Speaker 1: explanations we either have not considered thoroughly enough or that 587 00:34:03,560 --> 00:34:06,080 Speaker 1: we generally dismissed out of hand because we don't want 588 00:34:06,080 --> 00:34:10,200 Speaker 1: to deal with the possible reality. I look, this is 589 00:34:10,239 --> 00:34:12,560 Speaker 1: the first hearing since what like nineteen sixty eight. I 590 00:34:12,560 --> 00:34:16,120 Speaker 1: think Gerald forty year he was still a congressman, was 591 00:34:16,160 --> 00:34:20,400 Speaker 1: the last person to hold hearings in Congress on UFOs. 592 00:34:20,760 --> 00:34:23,200 Speaker 1: And by the way, this was how crazy twenty twenty was. 593 00:34:24,000 --> 00:34:26,080 Speaker 1: They had a story like in the New York Times 594 00:34:26,120 --> 00:34:28,600 Speaker 1: where they're like, hey, we think UFOs are real, and 595 00:34:28,600 --> 00:34:31,239 Speaker 1: it was buried on like the eighteenth page because there 596 00:34:31,280 --> 00:34:34,000 Speaker 1: was so much chaos going on, people didn't even really 597 00:34:34,040 --> 00:34:36,160 Speaker 1: care that much about the fact that might be real. 598 00:34:36,200 --> 00:34:37,840 Speaker 1: I feel like people also play those games with this, 599 00:34:38,040 --> 00:34:40,080 Speaker 1: I'm sure. By the way, I remember once I made 600 00:34:40,080 --> 00:34:45,480 Speaker 1: some passing reference to wiccans and witches years ago radio 601 00:34:45,719 --> 00:34:48,000 Speaker 1: and members of the Wicked community reached out and they're like, 602 00:34:48,040 --> 00:34:50,279 Speaker 1: we know you were just kidding, but we're out here, 603 00:34:50,360 --> 00:34:53,319 Speaker 1: we're real and we actually have you know, thoughts, feelings, hopes, 604 00:34:53,360 --> 00:34:55,560 Speaker 1: design like they actually I'm not I'm just trying to 605 00:34:55,560 --> 00:34:57,839 Speaker 1: say I'm not trying to offend the UFO community here, 606 00:34:58,120 --> 00:35:00,360 Speaker 1: but I do think which right now now, this is 607 00:35:00,400 --> 00:35:02,000 Speaker 1: going to be bad, but I think we need to 608 00:35:02,040 --> 00:35:08,600 Speaker 1: separate out unidentified flying object from uh intelligent other being. 609 00:35:08,640 --> 00:35:10,279 Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, like me, there may be 610 00:35:10,320 --> 00:35:13,920 Speaker 1: some physiological explanation for why this little thing is flying 611 00:35:13,920 --> 00:35:18,760 Speaker 1: around that's not green spacemen and flying saucer is kind 612 00:35:18,960 --> 00:35:21,400 Speaker 1: of so just a UFO is a very broad term, 613 00:35:21,480 --> 00:35:24,919 Speaker 1: That's all I'm saying. They, by the way, I don't 614 00:35:24,920 --> 00:35:26,440 Speaker 1: I don't even know that we can trust the government 615 00:35:26,440 --> 00:35:29,360 Speaker 1: on anything. They're claiming that they don't have the technology 616 00:35:29,600 --> 00:35:33,680 Speaker 1: to replicate what these UFOs are doing, while there are 617 00:35:33,719 --> 00:35:36,480 Speaker 1: fighter pilots out there in the air flying around and 618 00:35:36,520 --> 00:35:39,880 Speaker 1: seeing these, so they are claiming that this is, uh, 619 00:35:40,080 --> 00:35:45,120 Speaker 1: this isn't impossible for them to otherwise replicate The arrival, 620 00:35:45,200 --> 00:35:47,880 Speaker 1: by the way, is I think what I might have 621 00:35:48,000 --> 00:35:50,960 Speaker 1: been talking about the recent movie. I'm wrong. It's not Contact. 622 00:35:51,080 --> 00:35:53,359 Speaker 1: Contact was one. It's not that recent. I think that's 623 00:35:53,360 --> 00:35:55,560 Speaker 1: like twenty years old. I think the arrivals about where 624 00:35:55,600 --> 00:35:58,520 Speaker 1: there's just a spaceship that shows up and they're trying 625 00:35:58,520 --> 00:36:00,000 Speaker 1: to give us a message and we have to figure 626 00:36:00,040 --> 00:36:02,319 Speaker 1: you're out what that message is. It's really well done. 627 00:36:02,920 --> 00:36:04,759 Speaker 1: U and Jodie Foster may not be in that one. 628 00:36:04,760 --> 00:36:07,240 Speaker 1: I can't remember who. I tried to watch The Martian 629 00:36:07,400 --> 00:36:10,640 Speaker 1: I fell asleep. I gotta tell you, I not met 630 00:36:10,719 --> 00:36:13,200 Speaker 1: Damon's best. He wasn't setting us his best on that one. 631 00:36:13,400 --> 00:36:15,319 Speaker 1: But some of these other ones, I'm telling you the 632 00:36:15,520 --> 00:36:18,680 Speaker 1: X Files, it's a good watch from the original X Files, 633 00:36:18,680 --> 00:36:21,120 Speaker 1: a good watch from Back in the Dames. No, it's fantastic. 634 00:36:21,160 --> 00:36:23,400 Speaker 1: And the movies were good too that they made. Uh 635 00:36:23,440 --> 00:36:27,200 Speaker 1: that was um the Fox Molder and and and the 636 00:36:27,840 --> 00:36:31,080 Speaker 1: girl Jillian andrews Man. She was hot. Well, day, I'll 637 00:36:31,080 --> 00:36:33,160 Speaker 1: tell the story of years ago when I was making 638 00:36:33,280 --> 00:36:37,480 Speaker 1: fun of some aspects of a Sasquatch movie and it 639 00:36:37,480 --> 00:36:39,400 Speaker 1: turned out that one of the actors who started the 640 00:36:39,440 --> 00:36:42,520 Speaker 1: movie was listened to my show and called in and 641 00:36:42,680 --> 00:36:46,480 Speaker 1: called in that was That's phenomenal. Yeah, that's movie. That 642 00:36:46,520 --> 00:36:48,880 Speaker 1: was a pretty good one. Actually, Kimmer was called but 643 00:36:49,000 --> 00:36:51,200 Speaker 1: primal Fear I think something like that. Believe those are 644 00:36:51,280 --> 00:36:58,360 Speaker 1: not sleet Travis and Buck Sexton on the front lines.
