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 --> 00:00:06,600
Speaker 1: Sexton Show podcast. Our three of The Clay and Buck

3
00:00:06,680 --> 00:00:10,840
Speaker 1: Show starts now. Buck going to be doing this one solo. Sorry,

4
00:00:10,880 --> 00:00:13,200
Speaker 1: that's me Buck. I just realized I'm speaking of the

5
00:00:13,200 --> 00:00:15,640
Speaker 1: third person by accident, Clay on his way up to

6
00:00:15,680 --> 00:00:18,439
Speaker 1: New York City. We're gonna be in feudy together next

7
00:00:18,440 --> 00:00:22,439
Speaker 1: couple of days here. Obviously, the biggest story in the

8
00:00:22,600 --> 00:00:26,600
Speaker 1: country right now, by far is the situation of Hurricane Ian.

9
00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:32,080
Speaker 1: Landfall is imminent, is the headline that's getting blasted all

10
00:00:32,159 --> 00:00:36,519
Speaker 1: over the news media right now, on TV and all

11
00:00:36,560 --> 00:00:40,360
Speaker 1: the cable channels. This is a massive storm. One hundred

12
00:00:40,360 --> 00:00:42,760
Speaker 1: and fifty five mile an hour winds. There will be

13
00:00:42,920 --> 00:00:46,720
Speaker 1: gusts that might reach up to one hundred and ninety

14
00:00:46,760 --> 00:00:51,920
Speaker 1: miles an hour, which these are true tornado force winds.

15
00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:57,080
Speaker 1: These are winds that could pose serious dangers to not

16
00:00:57,160 --> 00:01:01,000
Speaker 1: just anybody who's outside, but even danger to to structures.

17
00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:05,000
Speaker 1: So you need to make sure you are doing everything

18
00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:07,960
Speaker 1: you can to be as safe as you can. Please

19
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:11,440
Speaker 1: make the decisions right now. Always air on the side

20
00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:14,040
Speaker 1: of caution. For those of you who are still making decisions,

21
00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:16,600
Speaker 1: I know there are people that are currently in shelter

22
00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:20,800
Speaker 1: in place down in the Fort Myers area, Captiva Island,

23
00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:24,520
Speaker 1: and that west coast of Florida. Our thoughts and prayers

24
00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:28,000
Speaker 1: are with all of you right now, and we are

25
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:31,160
Speaker 1: going to be watching and monitoring this hurricane during this

26
00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:34,119
Speaker 1: hour and certainly tomorrow and the rest of the week

27
00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:37,840
Speaker 1: here on the show. Also worth noting, we had Joe

28
00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:41,640
Speaker 1: Bastardi on last hour and he was giving us a

29
00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:49,280
Speaker 1: historical perspective on where this hurricane ian, where this ranks

30
00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:52,760
Speaker 1: in terms of ferocity, the winds, the storm surge compared

31
00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:57,920
Speaker 1: to what we've seen in previous hurricanes. This is the worst,

32
00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:01,600
Speaker 1: likely the worst hurricane when it comes to wind and

33
00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:06,960
Speaker 1: storm surge that has occurred in many years, perhaps many decades,

34
00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:10,040
Speaker 1: So it needs to be taken as seriously as possible.

35
00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:13,640
Speaker 1: Governor Ron de Santis the rest of the authorities in

36
00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:16,040
Speaker 1: the state of Florida are doing what they can right

37
00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:20,240
Speaker 1: now to help prepare for both the batting down the

38
00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:24,639
Speaker 1: hatch's phase and then the need for immediate assistance and

39
00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:28,960
Speaker 1: rebuilding where required residents. According to The New York Times,

40
00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:32,640
Speaker 1: here of Georgia, South Carolina, and North Carolina need to

41
00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:40,680
Speaker 1: also really monitor this closely and take precautions now, because

42
00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:43,640
Speaker 1: it may well be that this storm gets all the

43
00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:46,720
Speaker 1: way up into Georgia and along the coast that the

44
00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:51,160
Speaker 1: Carolinas and still be a very serious problem, very serious

45
00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:55,720
Speaker 1: challenge for those areas. So please everybody take this as

46
00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:59,680
Speaker 1: seriously as it sounds right now. But believe all the

47
00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:02,560
Speaker 1: report that you're seeing if you live in Florida, and

48
00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:05,840
Speaker 1: take do preparations, and we will we will get through this.

49
00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:12,200
Speaker 1: Um Governor of Santis is certainly being tested right now.

50
00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:14,560
Speaker 1: There are going to be people that no matter what

51
00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:18,239
Speaker 1: is done by the State of Florida, the authorities of Florida,

52
00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:20,680
Speaker 1: they're going to be critical of it. Here's just an

53
00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:23,320
Speaker 1: example of some of the stuff that you know, he

54
00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:25,440
Speaker 1: just has no time. This is this is not a

55
00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:29,040
Speaker 1: time for any cheap political points to try to be

56
00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:31,560
Speaker 1: scored when it comes to climate change or what it

57
00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:36,080
Speaker 1: comes to anything. This is all hands on deck. And

58
00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:38,160
Speaker 1: so I think it's highly appropriate for the Governor of

59
00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:41,200
Speaker 1: Florida to say when he's when someone's already criticizing the

60
00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:45,000
Speaker 1: response before anything's even happened yet, that it's nonsense in

61
00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:48,840
Speaker 1: the dispritor Chris Faull said today that she acknowledged concerns

62
00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:51,920
Speaker 1: us as we sent Black's response to the storm so far,

63
00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:57,440
Speaker 1: and who give me a break. That is nonsense. Stop politicizing, Okay,

64
00:03:57,760 --> 00:04:00,560
Speaker 1: stop it. We declared a state of immerged agency when

65
00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:02,840
Speaker 1: this thing wasn't even formed. We've had people in here,

66
00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:05,920
Speaker 1: You've had counties doing They've done a lot of hard work,

67
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:09,040
Speaker 1: and honestly, you're trying to attack me, I get, but

68
00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:11,640
Speaker 1: like you're attacking these other people who've worked very hard

69
00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:14,160
Speaker 1: and so so that's just totally false. I don't think

70
00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:16,480
Speaker 1: we've ever, certainly since I've been governed, declared a state

71
00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:18,839
Speaker 1: of emergency this early. You talk to the people at

72
00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:22,679
Speaker 1: the counties when they've needed something. Stuff gets there very quickly.

73
00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:25,360
Speaker 1: Because of what Kevin and his team have done. There

74
00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:28,080
Speaker 1: are a lot of people right now, thousands and thousands

75
00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:32,000
Speaker 1: of them who are ready to deploy as soon as

76
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:35,200
Speaker 1: it is safe, whether by air or by boat. Two

77
00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:37,680
Speaker 1: areas that are going to be very effected State of Florida.

78
00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:40,719
Speaker 1: And one thing it is important to get on the

79
00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:44,000
Speaker 1: record now for everyone to know, because I'm sure there

80
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:46,640
Speaker 1: will likely be people who tried just like that reporter there.

81
00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:50,840
Speaker 1: Oh well, someone who worked at FEMA said, this has

82
00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:54,800
Speaker 1: been there's been preparation underway for days. There's been coordination

83
00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:59,520
Speaker 1: between state and federal authorities in Florida, and they're doing

84
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:02,839
Speaker 1: it seems at this stage everything that could reasonably be

85
00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:07,360
Speaker 1: reasonably be done and in it well in advance of

86
00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:10,839
Speaker 1: when the actual hurricane is making landfall, which is right now,

87
00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:15,000
Speaker 1: So keep that in mind. And then there's you know,

88
00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:19,760
Speaker 1: on a much much different front up here in New

89
00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:22,840
Speaker 1: York City. There was a moment yesterday that did get

90
00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:26,000
Speaker 1: a bit of attention, and like I said, we're gonna

91
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:27,919
Speaker 1: be monitoring Florida for the rest of the hour and

92
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:33,320
Speaker 1: certainly updating you more, and tomorrow will be assessing where

93
00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:37,360
Speaker 1: we are in the effort to make this storm as

94
00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:41,839
Speaker 1: well to have the best response we can to the storm.

95
00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:46,240
Speaker 1: But but back up here in New York, we had

96
00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:49,680
Speaker 1: a moment yesterday where I think you heard something that

97
00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:54,200
Speaker 1: raised a lot of eyebrows from the Mayor of New

98
00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:58,400
Speaker 1: York City, Eric Adams, whom I'm just gonna say he

99
00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:01,880
Speaker 1: came into office and I was rooting for him. I

100
00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:04,760
Speaker 1: was hoping for the best year. I was saying I

101
00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:07,680
Speaker 1: would love to see this, and yeah, he's a Democrat,

102
00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:11,040
Speaker 1: and yeah, you know, if he turned New York City around,

103
00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:14,480
Speaker 1: Democrats would say, see, we could be serious on crime,

104
00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:17,560
Speaker 1: and maybe even Adams would have presidential aspirations beyond that.

105
00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:20,040
Speaker 1: You know, I get all that, but I live here

106
00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:22,680
Speaker 1: and I want it to be safe and I want

107
00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:25,400
Speaker 1: it to be the the city that it can and

108
00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:29,400
Speaker 1: has been in the past, America's largest city, which went

109
00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:31,960
Speaker 1: through a real a real golden age. I'd say from

110
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:36,440
Speaker 1: around the year two thousand in terms of public safety,

111
00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:39,760
Speaker 1: maybe nineteen ninety six, nineteen ninety seven, you could say

112
00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:43,080
Speaker 1: it really started, but around the year two thousand until

113
00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:46,240
Speaker 1: about five six years ago, until the Deblazio administration managed

114
00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:51,200
Speaker 1: to start destroying everything, and then you had the Adams

115
00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:55,440
Speaker 1: administration start. And so far it is not it is

116
00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:58,480
Speaker 1: not good friends. Unfortunately, they are not doing a good

117
00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:00,400
Speaker 1: job with this city. Crime can he used to be

118
00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:03,360
Speaker 1: out of control. We're going into a midterm election where

119
00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:07,640
Speaker 1: crime should be a top three issue for voters really

120
00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:10,720
Speaker 1: all across the country. And I just saw today the

121
00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:16,480
Speaker 1: Minneapolis Police Department, for example, Minneapolis police departments down almost

122
00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:21,400
Speaker 1: half from the George Floyd, from the George follod incident

123
00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:24,560
Speaker 1: to present. Just to give you a sense of what

124
00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:27,760
Speaker 1: has occurred in these places. Here is Mayor Eric Adams, though,

125
00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:32,040
Speaker 1: who is saying, well, New York has a brand, whereas

126
00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:36,280
Speaker 1: Kansas does not. We have a brand. New York has

127
00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:40,440
Speaker 1: a brand, and when people see it, it means something,

128
00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:43,480
Speaker 1: you know, when we go there. It's not Kansas doesn't

129
00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:53,040
Speaker 1: have a brand when you go there, Okay, you from Kansas, No, Well,

130
00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:57,520
Speaker 1: you know what. But New York has a brand. It

131
00:07:57,680 --> 00:08:00,480
Speaker 1: has a brand. Yes, New York does have a brand,

132
00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:05,800
Speaker 1: and Democrats are destroying it. That's the point here. Democrats

133
00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:10,280
Speaker 1: are taking what was a city of tremendous history, culture,

134
00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:15,280
Speaker 1: concentration of wealth, yes, and they're just ruining it, just

135
00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:18,240
Speaker 1: like they've ruined California. You know, I know there's still

136
00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:20,080
Speaker 1: a lot of great stuff in California, and we've got

137
00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:24,120
Speaker 1: tons of people saying Californians now listening all up and

138
00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:28,640
Speaker 1: down that that state. But New York is heading the

139
00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:31,280
Speaker 1: way of California as a place that had a lot

140
00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:34,839
Speaker 1: going for it. And then Democrats came in with bad ideas,

141
00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:40,440
Speaker 1: essentially nullified and starting to erode a lot of those

142
00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:45,240
Speaker 1: advantages with poor decision making. And one of the fastest

143
00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:50,280
Speaker 1: ways to destroy a city with policy is this whole

144
00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:52,079
Speaker 1: defund the police movement. One of the one of the

145
00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:54,280
Speaker 1: ways that you can ruin a place like New York

146
00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:57,959
Speaker 1: City is to not back law enforcement. Eric Adams says

147
00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:00,880
Speaker 1: that there's a brand the city of New York. Yeah,

148
00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:06,760
Speaker 1: that brand includes I saw two clearly mentally disturbed vagrance.

149
00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:12,480
Speaker 1: One was totally shirtless in broad daylight throwing and you know,

150
00:09:12,520 --> 00:09:15,400
Speaker 1: his pants were kind of falling off, to throwing trash

151
00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:17,520
Speaker 1: cans at each other. The police right across the street

152
00:09:17,559 --> 00:09:20,080
Speaker 1: didn't do anything. I mean, I mean lifting trash cans

153
00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:22,200
Speaker 1: up and using them as weapons, hitting each other. There's

154
00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:25,679
Speaker 1: right near your Times Square. I've had family members harassed

155
00:09:25,679 --> 00:09:28,880
Speaker 1: by lunatics. It happens now on a regular Basi's just

156
00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:31,319
Speaker 1: walking down the street, they might have a stroll or

157
00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:35,960
Speaker 1: doesn't matter, shouting profanity, crazy things at them. There was

158
00:09:36,040 --> 00:09:39,640
Speaker 1: just video yesterday that came. I keep telling you, the

159
00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:43,160
Speaker 1: video makes it really hit home for people on the

160
00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:47,880
Speaker 1: crime issues. The video is really visceral for people. It

161
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:50,800
Speaker 1: really it hits you in the gut. You see what's

162
00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:55,200
Speaker 1: going on. Just yesterday there was a drive by shooting

163
00:09:55,360 --> 00:09:59,520
Speaker 1: on a motorized scooter, you know, one of those vespel

164
00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:03,120
Speaker 1: like schoo in the Bronx. People are doing drive buys

165
00:10:03,160 --> 00:10:05,400
Speaker 1: on scooters here. I mean, this is It's not the

166
00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:07,880
Speaker 1: first one, by the way, that I've seen. This is

167
00:10:07,920 --> 00:10:10,480
Speaker 1: what is happening. So yeah, New York has a brand

168
00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:13,000
Speaker 1: and they're destroying it. They're destroying it, just as they

169
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:15,000
Speaker 1: have in so many other places. Look at San Francisco.

170
00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:21,600
Speaker 1: San Francisco is as a physical location, one of the

171
00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:24,920
Speaker 1: most beautiful cities in the United States. The city of

172
00:10:24,960 --> 00:10:29,480
Speaker 1: San Francisco is amazing. It's a little cold and rainy

173
00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:31,880
Speaker 1: sometimes there, but it's generally got some that's got a

174
00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:34,840
Speaker 1: mild climate. It should be an amazing place. It was

175
00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:39,480
Speaker 1: and incredible through the nineties, incredibly expensive place to live,

176
00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:42,319
Speaker 1: really one of the most San Francisco New York City

177
00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:45,079
Speaker 1: were probably the two most expensive per square foot in

178
00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:48,040
Speaker 1: the country in the nineties and the early two thousands.

179
00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:50,760
Speaker 1: And San Francisco is now just turned into place that

180
00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:53,720
Speaker 1: people are fleeing. They're just trying to get out. It's

181
00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:55,400
Speaker 1: just a question how quickly they can get out because

182
00:10:55,440 --> 00:10:58,960
Speaker 1: they've had enough of the crime and the decay. And

183
00:10:59,040 --> 00:11:03,600
Speaker 1: the Democrat part needs needs to be held to account.

184
00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:05,959
Speaker 1: Just making the case, and this is why I keep

185
00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:09,120
Speaker 1: bringing this up. Just making the case isn't enough. They

186
00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:12,079
Speaker 1: need to be pushed out of power because a lot

187
00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:14,440
Speaker 1: of them are going to keep doing this. A lot

188
00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:15,760
Speaker 1: of them are gonna keep doing this. Out for the

189
00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:18,200
Speaker 1: people listening in Kansas too, you're probably sitting there saying, yeah,

190
00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:20,559
Speaker 1: we actually do have a brand. It's a brand where

191
00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:24,840
Speaker 1: people are overwhelmingly safe, where if you go into cities,

192
00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:27,920
Speaker 1: probably cleaner than at least the parts of New York

193
00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:30,440
Speaker 1: City that I'm spending time in these days. You know,

194
00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:33,520
Speaker 1: I don't think I don't think the Mayor of New

195
00:11:33,600 --> 00:11:37,000
Speaker 1: York City should be pointing out the deficiencies of any

196
00:11:37,160 --> 00:11:39,560
Speaker 1: in his opinion of any other part of the country

197
00:11:39,640 --> 00:11:45,160
Speaker 1: right now, because bad leadership is having a real cost

198
00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:48,320
Speaker 1: in the major cities of this country. Bad leadership is

199
00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:51,400
Speaker 1: something that we are all suffering from. Unfortunately, if you

200
00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:54,520
Speaker 1: live in a major city, there are some exceptions, very

201
00:11:54,520 --> 00:11:58,280
Speaker 1: few exceptions right now. So Mayor Eric Adams, I mean,

202
00:11:58,280 --> 00:12:00,800
Speaker 1: I'm hoping that he turns it around, but I don't

203
00:12:00,800 --> 00:12:02,640
Speaker 1: think he will. I think he's way too obsessed with

204
00:12:02,679 --> 00:12:05,280
Speaker 1: his own celebrity. I think he wants to. I think

205
00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:08,960
Speaker 1: he gets excited about paparazzi and he likes you know,

206
00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:11,640
Speaker 1: social media and lots of clicks and lots of likes

207
00:12:11,640 --> 00:12:14,000
Speaker 1: on his posts going to zero bond here in New

208
00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:17,520
Speaker 1: York City, all this stuff. It's that's a some fancy

209
00:12:17,520 --> 00:12:20,280
Speaker 1: club by the way, where people go. It's like the

210
00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:23,640
Speaker 1: private membership club for the stars and the elite in

211
00:12:23,679 --> 00:12:28,040
Speaker 1: New York City. Anyway, the whole thing, my friends, it

212
00:12:28,040 --> 00:12:30,200
Speaker 1: needs to get better here, for sure, it needs to

213
00:12:30,240 --> 00:12:34,240
Speaker 1: be improved. We're gonna come back. We've got landfall imminent

214
00:12:34,280 --> 00:12:36,240
Speaker 1: here in Florida. Come back to the hurricane, and then

215
00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:39,440
Speaker 1: we'll be joined coverage of the hurricane, and we'll be

216
00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:42,800
Speaker 1: joined by in the next segment after that rant Paul

217
00:12:42,800 --> 00:12:46,560
Speaker 1: and Riley Gaines on how do we protect women's athletics.

218
00:12:46,760 --> 00:12:50,600
Speaker 1: Republicans need to make this a bigger issue going into

219
00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:53,880
Speaker 1: the mid terms because it goes to a lot here. Yeah,

220
00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:57,240
Speaker 1: it's it's a cultural issue, but it's also fundamentally a

221
00:12:57,280 --> 00:13:00,960
Speaker 1: fairness issue about what's decent, what's true, what's right. We'll

222
00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:03,000
Speaker 1: talk to the senator from Kentucky about that, and Ridley

223
00:13:03,080 --> 00:13:04,959
Speaker 1: gaines coming up here in just a few minutes, so

224
00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:09,640
Speaker 1: teams stay with me. TUNNTA Towers Foundation is an amazing organization. Honestly,

225
00:13:09,679 --> 00:13:12,240
Speaker 1: I have friends who just ran in the five K.

226
00:13:12,320 --> 00:13:15,000
Speaker 1: Producer Ali here ran in it. My friend Rahim Kassam

227
00:13:15,880 --> 00:13:19,160
Speaker 1: I sponsored Raheem. I probably should run myself next year.

228
00:13:20,240 --> 00:13:22,559
Speaker 1: The point here is friends. It is such an important

229
00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:27,040
Speaker 1: organization doing amazing work. With each mortgage free home the tunnet,

230
00:13:27,080 --> 00:13:29,840
Speaker 1: the Towers Foundation delivers on its promise to do good

231
00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:33,440
Speaker 1: and never forget the sacrifices America's heroes have made for us.

232
00:13:33,760 --> 00:13:37,880
Speaker 1: And these heroes need your help. GoldStar and fallen first

233
00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:42,080
Speaker 1: responder families with children, and our nations catastrophically injured first

234
00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:44,959
Speaker 1: responders and veterans, and even our homeless service members. Tampa

235
00:13:45,080 --> 00:13:52,840
Speaker 1: Towers helps them keeps our absolutely sacred obligation to these individuals,

236
00:13:52,880 --> 00:13:56,439
Speaker 1: like US Marine Corps Corporal Christopher gear Greer. He was

237
00:13:56,480 --> 00:13:59,440
Speaker 1: a firefighter and EMT in Tennessee when he was deployed

238
00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:02,200
Speaker 1: to Afghani. He was twenty five when he gave his

239
00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:05,720
Speaker 1: life serving our country. Corporal Greer was survived by his

240
00:14:05,800 --> 00:14:08,800
Speaker 1: wife and children. The tunnel of the Towers Foundation paid

241
00:14:08,840 --> 00:14:12,040
Speaker 1: off the Greer Families mortgage. For some families, the foundation

242
00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:14,000
Speaker 1: brings the comfort of knowing they can stay in the

243
00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:16,680
Speaker 1: home they shared with their fall in love one. For others,

244
00:14:16,679 --> 00:14:19,560
Speaker 1: the foundation enables new memories to be cherished forever. All

245
00:14:19,560 --> 00:14:23,080
Speaker 1: of this is possible because of your generosity and support.

246
00:14:23,640 --> 00:14:26,200
Speaker 1: Join us in donating eleven dollars a month to Tunnel

247
00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:29,360
Speaker 1: of the Towers at t twot dot org. That's t

248
00:14:29,840 --> 00:14:35,640
Speaker 1: the number two t dot org. Yesterday I spoke of

249
00:14:35,720 --> 00:14:38,920
Speaker 1: covery to decances for some time. My team has been

250
00:14:38,960 --> 00:14:42,480
Speaker 1: in constant contact with DONA from the very beginning, and

251
00:14:43,800 --> 00:14:48,600
Speaker 1: the mayors of Tampa, the Saint Pete's and Cleue Onner.

252
00:14:49,480 --> 00:14:52,320
Speaker 1: We discussed that we've done to prepare for the hurricane.

253
00:14:52,720 --> 00:14:57,440
Speaker 1: That includes dispassing hundreds of feeman personnel and activating thousands

254
00:14:57,480 --> 00:15:01,320
Speaker 1: of National Guard members. I'm also developed a searching recipe

255
00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:05,160
Speaker 1: team and deploy them Mulible Federals this season. Then they've

256
00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:07,920
Speaker 1: already on the ground already to help as we speak.

257
00:15:09,480 --> 00:15:13,240
Speaker 1: So President Biden has had a conversation with Governor Rod

258
00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:18,760
Speaker 1: de Santisa, Florida, and that is all in trying to

259
00:15:18,880 --> 00:15:22,760
Speaker 1: coordinate here and in preparation for a storm that could

260
00:15:22,800 --> 00:15:26,560
Speaker 1: be the worst hurricane to hit this country in many years,

261
00:15:26,600 --> 00:15:31,240
Speaker 1: perhaps many decades. Right now, the latest updates here as

262
00:15:31,240 --> 00:15:34,760
Speaker 1: we're watching this, you have over six hundred thousand are

263
00:15:34,800 --> 00:15:39,800
Speaker 1: without power in Florida. You do have a lot of

264
00:15:39,840 --> 00:15:43,640
Speaker 1: news coverage going on right now that is showing really

265
00:15:44,160 --> 00:15:47,680
Speaker 1: hard to be, hard to believe until you see it yourself,

266
00:15:48,520 --> 00:15:54,160
Speaker 1: the storm surge that's already gathering, the winds this is

267
00:15:54,920 --> 00:15:59,920
Speaker 1: it looks as though you have tornado force winds along

268
00:16:00,160 --> 00:16:04,200
Speaker 1: side a tsunami of storm surge. So you have a

269
00:16:04,240 --> 00:16:06,680
Speaker 1: massive wall of water that is going to be flooding

270
00:16:06,720 --> 00:16:11,160
Speaker 1: along the coasts and winds stretching out for many, many

271
00:16:11,200 --> 00:16:14,440
Speaker 1: miles that are going one hundred and fifty miles an hour.

272
00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:18,080
Speaker 1: And this is this is rare for there to be

273
00:16:18,120 --> 00:16:21,920
Speaker 1: a storm that is at this category four really four

274
00:16:21,960 --> 00:16:25,600
Speaker 1: plus level. It's just shy of being a category five hurricane.

275
00:16:26,120 --> 00:16:29,560
Speaker 1: And part of the challenge here for everybody who is

276
00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:32,560
Speaker 1: hunkering down, and just for the state of Florida and

277
00:16:32,720 --> 00:16:36,520
Speaker 1: perhaps Georgia and the Carolinas too, if they get hit substantially.

278
00:16:36,840 --> 00:16:40,200
Speaker 1: It's going to be the duration of this storm over

279
00:16:40,240 --> 00:16:44,480
Speaker 1: these areas. It's a slow, a massive, powerful and slow

280
00:16:45,360 --> 00:16:49,880
Speaker 1: moving storm. So a major major challenge going on right now.

281
00:16:50,560 --> 00:16:53,200
Speaker 1: Our thoughts and prayers go out to everybody in Florida

282
00:16:53,320 --> 00:16:54,880
Speaker 1: right now, and a lot of you are listening, and

283
00:16:55,680 --> 00:16:58,160
Speaker 1: some of you may really only be able to listen

284
00:16:58,280 --> 00:17:03,600
Speaker 1: on radio because of power power going out, which is

285
00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:06,320
Speaker 1: going to affect Wi Fi, and if you have battery

286
00:17:06,320 --> 00:17:09,440
Speaker 1: powered radio, obviously you'll be able to get signals. We're

287
00:17:09,480 --> 00:17:12,160
Speaker 1: going to try to stay as up to date here

288
00:17:12,200 --> 00:17:14,280
Speaker 1: as we can on what is going on. But this

289
00:17:14,440 --> 00:17:18,680
Speaker 1: is a this is a big one. This is as

290
00:17:18,680 --> 00:17:21,879
Speaker 1: big as it gets released. So we are hopeful that

291
00:17:21,920 --> 00:17:24,800
Speaker 1: the first responders, the teams that are down there, they're

292
00:17:24,800 --> 00:17:27,240
Speaker 1: gonna do a lot of critical and very brave work

293
00:17:27,320 --> 00:17:30,480
Speaker 1: that they're able to just keep the first and foremost,

294
00:17:30,600 --> 00:17:37,000
Speaker 1: keep the absolute highest safety possible for everybody down there,

295
00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:40,440
Speaker 1: to minimize any loss of life as goal number one,

296
00:17:41,119 --> 00:17:43,680
Speaker 1: and then to get everybody in Florida back on their

297
00:17:43,680 --> 00:17:45,240
Speaker 1: feet and get that state up and run again. So

298
00:17:45,240 --> 00:17:46,960
Speaker 1: we're going to keep a very close eye on all

299
00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:51,640
Speaker 1: of this. So switching gears, my friends. If your business

300
00:17:51,640 --> 00:17:54,359
Speaker 1: has five or more employees and you manage to survive

301
00:17:54,440 --> 00:17:57,200
Speaker 1: the last couple of years of COVID and all that stuff,

302
00:17:57,240 --> 00:18:00,000
Speaker 1: you could be eligible to receive a payroll tax rebate

303
00:18:00,600 --> 00:18:03,480
Speaker 1: of up to twenty six thousand dollars per employee. This

304
00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:06,399
Speaker 1: is not alone, there's no payback. It's a refund of

305
00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:09,080
Speaker 1: your taxes. How do you get your business this refund money?

306
00:18:09,119 --> 00:18:12,680
Speaker 1: You just go to getrefunds dot com. Their tax attorneys

307
00:18:12,720 --> 00:18:16,320
Speaker 1: are specialists in this little known payroll tax refund program.

308
00:18:16,440 --> 00:18:19,040
Speaker 1: They do all the work with no charge upfront and

309
00:18:19,119 --> 00:18:21,280
Speaker 1: simply share a percentage of the cash that they get

Speaker 1: Kentucky Senator Rand Paul is with US NOW and University

321
00:18:59,480 --> 00:19:03,440
Speaker 1: of Kentucky swimmer Riley Gaines, who tied with Leah Thomas

322
00:19:03,480 --> 00:19:07,520
Speaker 1: in the two hundred yard freestyle of the NCAA Women's Championship.

323
00:19:07,840 --> 00:19:09,920
Speaker 1: Riley Gaines also with us I thank you both for

324
00:19:10,240 --> 00:19:14,480
Speaker 1: joining us. Appreciate it, thanks thanks for having us center. Paul,

325
00:19:14,520 --> 00:19:16,520
Speaker 1: let's start with you. What is this initiative that that

326
00:19:16,600 --> 00:19:20,359
Speaker 1: you're you're pushing here or just this campaign? I know

327
00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:22,199
Speaker 1: we're going to have an ad you've released today up

328
00:19:22,200 --> 00:19:26,000
Speaker 1: at Clayenbuck dot com on just the fairness of allowing

329
00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:27,960
Speaker 1: only women to compete in women's sports. What do people

330
00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:30,880
Speaker 1: need to know? You know, my wife and I saw

331
00:19:30,960 --> 00:19:35,359
Speaker 1: Riley Gaines on television being brave enough to stand up

332
00:19:35,400 --> 00:19:38,119
Speaker 1: for women in sports and that really only women. I

333
00:19:38,160 --> 00:19:40,399
Speaker 1: know this is a radical idea, but that only women

334
00:19:40,400 --> 00:19:43,520
Speaker 1: should be in women's sports, and we thought, my goodness,

335
00:19:43,520 --> 00:19:47,440
Speaker 1: what a brave young woman who swam at University of Kentucky,

336
00:19:47,520 --> 00:19:50,440
Speaker 1: you know, my home state, all American, and this great champion,

337
00:19:50,880 --> 00:19:53,879
Speaker 1: and she's brave enough, you know, despite all the sort

338
00:19:53,880 --> 00:19:57,879
Speaker 1: of silent threats of bullying, and you know repercussions if

339
00:19:57,920 --> 00:20:00,200
Speaker 1: you do this. She's been brave enough, and they're that

340
00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:03,000
Speaker 1: many have done it, most of them been cowed into silence.

341
00:20:03,440 --> 00:20:05,959
Speaker 1: But the thing is is somebody has to stand up.

342
00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:08,320
Speaker 1: And so both my wife and I said, you know,

343
00:20:08,359 --> 00:20:10,960
Speaker 1: we want to endorse what Riley Gaines is doing. And

344
00:20:11,080 --> 00:20:13,320
Speaker 1: as a consequence, Riley Gaines said, well, she wanted to

345
00:20:13,400 --> 00:20:16,320
Speaker 1: endorse what we are doing. So it worked out very well. Riley,

346
00:20:16,359 --> 00:20:19,200
Speaker 1: I want to ask you, how how has this been

347
00:20:19,240 --> 00:20:21,639
Speaker 1: for you in terms of first of all, how did

348
00:20:21,680 --> 00:20:24,600
Speaker 1: the University of Kentucky, how has it been handled by

349
00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:30,080
Speaker 1: your school? And also have you gotten a lot of

350
00:20:30,160 --> 00:20:34,119
Speaker 1: other female swimmers or just female athletes in general who

351
00:20:34,200 --> 00:20:36,320
Speaker 1: have reached out to you privately to say thank you

352
00:20:36,359 --> 00:20:43,440
Speaker 1: for what you're doing. Yeah, I have had so much

353
00:20:43,480 --> 00:20:46,760
Speaker 1: support from my university, and it really across the state

354
00:20:46,800 --> 00:20:52,000
Speaker 1: of Kentucky. I think this speaks volumes. I didn't realize

355
00:20:52,119 --> 00:20:55,800
Speaker 1: initially when speaking out that so many girls across the

356
00:20:56,680 --> 00:21:00,199
Speaker 1: country are silent. So what I'm dealing with is is

357
00:21:00,200 --> 00:21:02,439
Speaker 1: truly an anomaly, and so I'm so grateful for everyone

358
00:21:02,480 --> 00:21:05,760
Speaker 1: in the athletic department. Mitch Barnhart, Oh my gosh, I

359
00:21:05,800 --> 00:21:09,520
Speaker 1: can't say enough good things about him. But in terms

360
00:21:09,560 --> 00:21:13,639
Speaker 1: of getting other people messaging me privately, that's exactly what

361
00:21:13,720 --> 00:21:15,919
Speaker 1: it's been. There's been a lot of messaging privately, And

362
00:21:15,960 --> 00:21:20,159
Speaker 1: of course it's because people are scared, especially girls you know,

363
00:21:20,200 --> 00:21:24,760
Speaker 1: within the ivy leagues. They are so emotionally blackmailed. People

364
00:21:24,800 --> 00:21:28,200
Speaker 1: at their schools, within the athletic department are are telling

365
00:21:28,200 --> 00:21:31,280
Speaker 1: them that they will never get into grad school, they

366
00:21:31,280 --> 00:21:34,320
Speaker 1: will never get a job. Their school has taken their

367
00:21:34,359 --> 00:21:36,840
Speaker 1: stance for them, and if they so chose to speak

368
00:21:36,880 --> 00:21:40,680
Speaker 1: out and any harm comes to any sort of transgender athletes,

369
00:21:41,080 --> 00:21:44,479
Speaker 1: they are solely responsible. And so these girls are silent,

370
00:21:44,800 --> 00:21:49,199
Speaker 1: They're intimidated and feel like they're in the wrong for thinking.

371
00:21:49,400 --> 00:21:51,320
Speaker 1: Can can I ask you, Riley, just in that moment

372
00:21:51,359 --> 00:21:54,800
Speaker 1: when you were in the NCAA Women's Freestyle two hundred

373
00:21:54,840 --> 00:21:58,359
Speaker 1: yard Championship and they're telling you you've tied with a

374
00:21:58,480 --> 00:22:01,639
Speaker 1: six foot four mail who now goes by Leah Thomas,

375
00:22:03,080 --> 00:22:06,520
Speaker 1: did people like were they expecting you? And I mean

376
00:22:06,560 --> 00:22:08,560
Speaker 1: the people that were really there at that time, the

377
00:22:08,960 --> 00:22:12,119
Speaker 1: officials running the race and the other team and your team,

378
00:22:12,320 --> 00:22:15,919
Speaker 1: they're expecting you to be okay with this well. I

379
00:22:15,960 --> 00:22:18,880
Speaker 1: initially didn't even want to swim the race. I know,

380
00:22:19,200 --> 00:22:23,480
Speaker 1: you know, there's great movement behind striking something, and so

381
00:22:23,520 --> 00:22:25,520
Speaker 1: I thought to myself, I'm not going to swim this race.

382
00:22:25,560 --> 00:22:26,959
Speaker 1: I'm going to stand on the block. And so I

383
00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:30,000
Speaker 1: went to an official and told them, Hey, what happens

384
00:22:30,040 --> 00:22:32,399
Speaker 1: if I don't swim? He said, if you don't swim,

385
00:22:32,400 --> 00:22:34,639
Speaker 1: it is next person up. He said, we will not

386
00:22:34,720 --> 00:22:37,000
Speaker 1: reserve your spot and there will be someone swimming in

387
00:22:37,040 --> 00:22:39,159
Speaker 1: that lane. And so at that point, I don't want

388
00:22:39,200 --> 00:22:41,840
Speaker 1: to sacrifice everything I've worked for to give it to

389
00:22:41,880 --> 00:22:44,280
Speaker 1: someone else and not make a difference. And so I

390
00:22:44,320 --> 00:22:46,520
Speaker 1: told myself, Okay, final swim, but I'm not going on

391
00:22:46,560 --> 00:22:49,280
Speaker 1: the podium. But then, of course we tied, and I

392
00:22:49,320 --> 00:22:51,359
Speaker 1: thought to myself, this is all happening so quickly. But

393
00:22:51,400 --> 00:22:53,879
Speaker 1: I thought to myself, maybe if I get on that

394
00:22:53,960 --> 00:22:58,160
Speaker 1: podium with Leah Thomas, people will see the direct comparison

395
00:22:58,359 --> 00:23:02,920
Speaker 1: between a six four logical man and a five five woman.

396
00:23:04,040 --> 00:23:05,159
Speaker 1: Can I just say, I mean, you us be a

397
00:23:05,200 --> 00:23:07,359
Speaker 1: heck of a swimmer. It's amazing that you tied with

398
00:23:07,440 --> 00:23:12,000
Speaker 1: a six foot four man who's a college swimmer. I

399
00:23:12,040 --> 00:23:15,280
Speaker 1: think there's some speculation there in terms of if Leah

400
00:23:15,280 --> 00:23:20,560
Speaker 1: Thomas was trying as hard as possible, because if Leah

401
00:23:20,560 --> 00:23:24,479
Speaker 1: had been going times that Thomas went earlier in the season,

402
00:23:25,040 --> 00:23:29,840
Speaker 1: hit would have been Thomas would have won. I see interest. Interesting. Well,

403
00:23:29,840 --> 00:23:32,199
Speaker 1: you're still the best female swimmer in the country in

404
00:23:32,240 --> 00:23:35,600
Speaker 1: the NCAA two hundred yard freestyle, so you're actually the

405
00:23:35,720 --> 00:23:39,879
Speaker 1: champion in that event. Senator rand Paul can I ask you,

406
00:23:40,040 --> 00:23:42,560
Speaker 1: is this a matter of what happens here with this?

407
00:23:42,680 --> 00:23:44,520
Speaker 1: I mean, yes, you're you're running this ad. We're gonna

408
00:23:44,520 --> 00:23:46,480
Speaker 1: have it up at clanbuck dot com. People should know

409
00:23:46,520 --> 00:23:49,600
Speaker 1: more about this. Riley is speaking out, But is this

410
00:23:49,600 --> 00:23:52,480
Speaker 1: a matter of federal legislation? What has to happen now

411
00:23:52,560 --> 00:23:55,879
Speaker 1: to pure that this isn't normal and this isn't acceptable

412
00:23:55,920 --> 00:23:57,560
Speaker 1: and it's not fair. I think we have to win

413
00:23:57,600 --> 00:24:00,679
Speaker 1: the public argument. But there's also other avenues. I mean,

414
00:24:00,720 --> 00:24:05,479
Speaker 1: the NCAA makes rules, the Olympic Committee on Swimming makes rules,

415
00:24:05,520 --> 00:24:09,600
Speaker 1: the amateur committees make rules, and people have to push back.

416
00:24:09,600 --> 00:24:11,200
Speaker 1: If they don't push back, they're just going to let

417
00:24:11,240 --> 00:24:13,480
Speaker 1: men take over women's sports. Imagine if there were five

418
00:24:14,040 --> 00:24:17,360
Speaker 1: of these Lea Thomases that showed up that were former

419
00:24:17,520 --> 00:24:21,119
Speaker 1: men's swimming you know, been on the swimming team in college,

420
00:24:21,240 --> 00:24:23,400
Speaker 1: on the men's team, and switch over and they take

421
00:24:23,400 --> 00:24:25,840
Speaker 1: all all the first top five places. Can you imagine

422
00:24:25,880 --> 00:24:28,080
Speaker 1: what happens. But we have to win the argument, I

423
00:24:28,119 --> 00:24:30,800
Speaker 1: think the arguments on our side. Then people need to

424
00:24:31,640 --> 00:24:34,439
Speaker 1: It needs to be mothers and fathers of daughters who

425
00:24:34,440 --> 00:24:36,399
Speaker 1: are swimming saying we're not going to let this happen,

426
00:24:36,840 --> 00:24:41,000
Speaker 1: protesting the amateur rules, the Olympic rules, the NCAA rules.

427
00:24:41,359 --> 00:24:44,200
Speaker 1: And then is there a possibility government gets involved? Maybe?

428
00:24:44,240 --> 00:24:46,600
Speaker 1: I mean different state governments are looking at this. Now.

429
00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:49,480
Speaker 1: A lot of these universities receive state funds. That was

430
00:24:49,520 --> 00:24:52,119
Speaker 1: the argument for Title nine in the first place, is

431
00:24:52,160 --> 00:24:54,960
Speaker 1: that if they're receiving state funds, the state funds from

432
00:24:55,000 --> 00:24:57,960
Speaker 1: come from taxpayers equally. Maybe men and women should have

433
00:24:58,000 --> 00:25:01,040
Speaker 1: to be treated equally in sports, and there's logic behind that,

434
00:25:01,520 --> 00:25:04,679
Speaker 1: and so the state legislature may be a recourse. And

435
00:25:04,760 --> 00:25:07,800
Speaker 1: ultimately maybe the federal government. If people know me well,

436
00:25:07,840 --> 00:25:10,240
Speaker 1: they know I'm hesitant to do anything that begins at

437
00:25:10,280 --> 00:25:13,240
Speaker 1: the federal government, not to begin privately first, then locally,

438
00:25:13,280 --> 00:25:15,679
Speaker 1: then state, then maybe up here. But I'm open to

439
00:25:15,720 --> 00:25:18,439
Speaker 1: all avenues, but I do want the argument to be had,

440
00:25:18,720 --> 00:25:21,439
Speaker 1: and I don't want people to be shamed and to

441
00:25:21,560 --> 00:25:24,639
Speaker 1: quietly just sit at home and say, rumble, rumble, rumble,

442
00:25:24,720 --> 00:25:27,360
Speaker 1: this is unfair, but not actually speak out. So I'm

443
00:25:27,359 --> 00:25:29,919
Speaker 1: proud of Ridley Gains for speaking out, and I want

444
00:25:29,960 --> 00:25:31,560
Speaker 1: to see more of this. I'm hoping she'll be an

445
00:25:31,600 --> 00:25:35,400
Speaker 1: example to, you know, another generation of young girls coming up,

446
00:25:35,680 --> 00:25:39,760
Speaker 1: and also to other, you know, world class athletes competing

447
00:25:39,760 --> 00:25:42,040
Speaker 1: at that level, that they shouldn't just give away their

448
00:25:42,080 --> 00:25:44,200
Speaker 1: sport to men. I mean, Senator Paul, I've also got

449
00:25:44,200 --> 00:25:46,480
Speaker 1: to ask you you're you're a doctor. We often have

450
00:25:46,560 --> 00:25:50,440
Speaker 1: you on the show to talk about Fauci and the COVID.

451
00:25:50,840 --> 00:25:53,080
Speaker 1: We used to say the madness. Now I really just

452
00:25:53,080 --> 00:25:55,480
Speaker 1: think the COVID wrongness. I mean, they've effectively been wrong

453
00:25:55,520 --> 00:25:58,480
Speaker 1: about everything, and a lot of doctors were mobilized in

454
00:25:58,520 --> 00:26:01,480
Speaker 1: that effort to be wrong on a matter of many

455
00:26:01,520 --> 00:26:05,040
Speaker 1: matters of public policy. I see a lot of mds

456
00:26:05,119 --> 00:26:07,280
Speaker 1: now popping up here and there saying men and women

457
00:26:07,600 --> 00:26:11,199
Speaker 1: not really a lot of biological difference. Actually, it just

458
00:26:11,240 --> 00:26:15,280
Speaker 1: feels like there are people who are destroying the respect

459
00:26:15,480 --> 00:26:20,639
Speaker 1: and the credibility of medical professionals in pursuit of a

460
00:26:20,720 --> 00:26:22,840
Speaker 1: number of things. But this is one of them pretending

461
00:26:22,840 --> 00:26:25,440
Speaker 1: that there isn't a biological difference between men and women

462
00:26:25,680 --> 00:26:29,440
Speaker 1: that matters in sports, matters in a whole range of things. Yeah,

463
00:26:29,480 --> 00:26:31,520
Speaker 1: I think that when when they say things like that

464
00:26:31,520 --> 00:26:35,040
Speaker 1: that are so clearly refutable by just by looking at

465
00:26:35,040 --> 00:26:38,280
Speaker 1: people and looking at the sheer size. But also there's

466
00:26:38,320 --> 00:26:41,119
Speaker 1: all kinds of statistical evidence. It's like, you know, I

467
00:26:41,119 --> 00:26:44,639
Speaker 1: think it's the top four hundred boy runners of the

468
00:26:44,800 --> 00:26:48,920
Speaker 1: two hundred meters are faster than the fastest girl college

469
00:26:48,960 --> 00:26:51,239
Speaker 1: two hundred meters. I mean, it just is It's not

470
00:26:51,320 --> 00:26:53,720
Speaker 1: something you know, to denigrate women. It's just there are

471
00:26:53,760 --> 00:26:57,360
Speaker 1: different sizes, different sizes of muscles, different size of lungs,

472
00:26:57,640 --> 00:27:01,400
Speaker 1: and to say there isn't is just to be anti science,

473
00:27:01,480 --> 00:27:04,680
Speaker 1: to be you know, a flat earther. And so I

474
00:27:04,720 --> 00:27:06,840
Speaker 1: don't think they can win this argument. That's the problem.

475
00:27:06,840 --> 00:27:09,280
Speaker 1: Even with the COVID people, they come out with things

476
00:27:09,320 --> 00:27:11,840
Speaker 1: that the common man has read enough to know that

477
00:27:11,880 --> 00:27:14,000
Speaker 1: they're not being honest with us. It's the same thing

478
00:27:14,040 --> 00:27:16,680
Speaker 1: here they're gonna tell us Leah Thomas has no advantage

479
00:27:16,720 --> 00:27:19,720
Speaker 1: being six foot four, you know, and so that's just

480
00:27:20,240 --> 00:27:23,600
Speaker 1: nobody believes that, and so they lose their credibility. I

481
00:27:23,640 --> 00:27:25,360
Speaker 1: don't think they win the argument. I think they lose

482
00:27:25,400 --> 00:27:28,240
Speaker 1: their credibility. But it still requires people to speak out

483
00:27:28,280 --> 00:27:32,000
Speaker 1: and point out their hypocrisy and inconsistencies. Riley, For people

484
00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:34,479
Speaker 1: who want to support you or any initiatives that you're

485
00:27:34,520 --> 00:27:36,200
Speaker 1: doing to try to get the word out, where should

486
00:27:36,200 --> 00:27:40,080
Speaker 1: they go? So I am co chairing a new federal

487
00:27:40,119 --> 00:27:44,480
Speaker 1: pack called nine Pack. The website is www dot ninepac

488
00:27:44,560 --> 00:27:48,080
Speaker 1: dot org. It mentions what this pack is in place

489
00:27:48,119 --> 00:27:50,720
Speaker 1: for and of course if people are willing to donate

490
00:27:50,720 --> 00:27:54,639
Speaker 1: and give back, that's a great way to help protect

491
00:27:54,640 --> 00:27:59,040
Speaker 1: biological women in sports. Senator Rand Paul and Riley Gaines,

492
00:27:59,160 --> 00:28:04,480
Speaker 1: both of Kentucky, thank you so much. Appreciate it. If

493
00:28:04,520 --> 00:28:06,600
Speaker 1: you're a business owner, you know all too well the

494
00:28:06,680 --> 00:28:09,440
Speaker 1: increased pressure is in running your business. It's getting harder,

495
00:28:09,520 --> 00:28:11,720
Speaker 1: not easier. That's certainly the case when it comes to

496
00:28:11,760 --> 00:28:14,679
Speaker 1: managing your team and keeping up with the changing regulations

497
00:28:14,680 --> 00:28:17,399
Speaker 1: and HR compliance. There's a limit to what you can

498
00:28:17,440 --> 00:28:21,800
Speaker 1: do to keep employees engage while running your business smoothly. Fortunately,

499
00:28:21,840 --> 00:28:25,600
Speaker 1: there's inspirity. They put thirty plus years of HR experience

500
00:28:25,600 --> 00:28:28,359
Speaker 1: to work to help you develop a people strategy that

501
00:28:28,440 --> 00:28:32,600
Speaker 1: supports your business strategy, focusing on the health of your organization.

502
00:28:32,960 --> 00:28:36,000
Speaker 1: What if your HR strategy included access to better benefits

503
00:28:36,040 --> 00:28:38,640
Speaker 1: to help you keep the employees you have and attract

504
00:28:38,640 --> 00:28:41,200
Speaker 1: new ones. What if it also offered training for your

505
00:28:41,200 --> 00:28:44,480
Speaker 1: employees to increase their skills so they become more productive.

506
00:28:44,720 --> 00:28:47,160
Speaker 1: There will always be challenges to face in business, and

507
00:28:47,240 --> 00:28:50,280
Speaker 1: no matter where they come from, Insparity is ready to

508
00:28:50,320 --> 00:28:53,680
Speaker 1: help you move past them by providing the HR solutions

509
00:28:53,720 --> 00:28:59,200
Speaker 1: you need. With inspirity, nothing seems impossible. Inspirity HR that

510
00:28:59,280 --> 00:29:03,479
Speaker 1: makes a difference. I'm gonna be closing up shop here

511
00:29:03,520 --> 00:29:07,440
Speaker 1: today on the Clay and Buck Show, we are really

512
00:29:07,480 --> 00:29:12,520
Speaker 1: focused in here on Hurricane Ian in Florida. There's already

513
00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:19,520
Speaker 1: very troubling video circulating of the damage that is already

514
00:29:19,600 --> 00:29:22,520
Speaker 1: underway in the Fort Myers area. We certainly hope that

515
00:29:22,520 --> 00:29:25,640
Speaker 1: everybody was able to get to a place of safety.

516
00:29:26,920 --> 00:29:30,440
Speaker 1: This is as big a storm as we are likely

517
00:29:30,480 --> 00:29:36,760
Speaker 1: to see, perhaps ever. It is a major hurricane four plus,

518
00:29:37,120 --> 00:29:39,440
Speaker 1: and you add all the different factors into it and

519
00:29:39,560 --> 00:29:42,520
Speaker 1: This is going to be a very difficult, a very

520
00:29:42,560 --> 00:29:44,920
Speaker 1: difficult few days for the state of Florida, and it

521
00:29:45,040 --> 00:29:49,920
Speaker 1: may move up into the southeastern coastal US as well.

522
00:29:50,320 --> 00:29:57,680
Speaker 1: So we're watching this closely. Michael in Marianna, Florida has

523
00:29:57,760 --> 00:30:00,720
Speaker 1: some thoughts on what's going on in his home. Thanks

524
00:30:00,720 --> 00:30:04,720
Speaker 1: for calling in. Hey, So we went through Hurricane Michael

525
00:30:05,800 --> 00:30:12,040
Speaker 1: October tenth of twenty eighteen. And everybody I know, my friends,

526
00:30:12,160 --> 00:30:15,880
Speaker 1: you know, most of us were here, went through the storm. Now, granted,

527
00:30:15,920 --> 00:30:18,560
Speaker 1: if that storm had been coming to us, most people

528
00:30:18,640 --> 00:30:22,200
Speaker 1: I know would be fleeing and leaving because everybody has

529
00:30:22,200 --> 00:30:26,080
Speaker 1: some level of PTSD. From this. We watched houses destroyed,

530
00:30:26,320 --> 00:30:30,520
Speaker 1: our neighbors, We watched trees fall. They literally measured in

531
00:30:30,560 --> 00:30:36,960
Speaker 1: our county, just my county, trees down in the billions. Okay,

532
00:30:37,000 --> 00:30:40,800
Speaker 1: it was that was a category five, right. Well, here's

533
00:30:40,800 --> 00:30:43,239
Speaker 1: the deal, seven or Florida residents. So let me tell

534
00:30:43,240 --> 00:30:47,640
Speaker 1: you what happens a category fourth and below. Florida law

535
00:30:47,840 --> 00:30:51,040
Speaker 1: provides that for the insurance companies, they have a twenty

536
00:30:51,120 --> 00:30:56,520
Speaker 1: percent deductible on all hurricanes. Okay, and here's the fun part.

537
00:30:56,600 --> 00:31:00,440
Speaker 1: We found out and I think, oh three when they

538
00:31:00,520 --> 00:31:03,880
Speaker 1: had multiple hurricanes, like four came through. Maybe it's so

539
00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:06,560
Speaker 1: four they had for them come through. They add that

540
00:31:06,600 --> 00:31:09,040
Speaker 1: twenty percent on top of if you have another one come,

541
00:31:09,360 --> 00:31:12,200
Speaker 1: if you don't get the things fixed yet, they're going

542
00:31:12,280 --> 00:31:14,560
Speaker 1: to add it to another twenty percent, another twenty percent.

543
00:31:14,800 --> 00:31:16,720
Speaker 1: I have a lot of businesses and churches that went

544
00:31:16,760 --> 00:31:19,600
Speaker 1: out of business because of that. But anyways, so here's

545
00:31:19,600 --> 00:31:24,320
Speaker 1: the deal. If the hurricane comes and well obviously it's hitting.

546
00:31:24,760 --> 00:31:28,520
Speaker 1: If it's a four, everybody's going to have a twenty

547
00:31:28,520 --> 00:31:32,400
Speaker 1: percent deductible. However, if it gets rated as a five,

548
00:31:33,080 --> 00:31:36,440
Speaker 1: that deductible goes away, except if they come back like

549
00:31:36,480 --> 00:31:40,400
Speaker 1: they did with us, and nine months later rated as

550
00:31:40,440 --> 00:31:44,720
Speaker 1: a five. Oh, I'm sorry, the time periods passed. So yeah,

551
00:31:44,760 --> 00:31:47,560
Speaker 1: you still have your deductible interest. So you think that

552
00:31:47,640 --> 00:31:53,960
Speaker 1: there's a there's some fudging the numbers with the four

553
00:31:54,040 --> 00:31:56,800
Speaker 1: plus as I've been calling it hurricane versus the five,

554
00:31:56,920 --> 00:31:59,160
Speaker 1: because that I mean, this is gonna there will be

555
00:31:59,200 --> 00:32:02,400
Speaker 1: billions per tens of billions of dollars of claims attached

556
00:32:02,440 --> 00:32:05,640
Speaker 1: to this one storm. I would imagine. I grew up

557
00:32:05,680 --> 00:32:08,720
Speaker 1: in Clearwater, and interesting your last story, I was a

558
00:32:08,760 --> 00:32:13,000
Speaker 1: swimmer in high school. And yeah, I completely agree with

559
00:32:13,040 --> 00:32:15,280
Speaker 1: what you guys had said before entitled nine is a

560
00:32:15,360 --> 00:32:17,960
Speaker 1: huge deal. But yeah, so I was from that area.

561
00:32:18,440 --> 00:32:20,720
Speaker 1: I still have friends and family down in that region

562
00:32:20,760 --> 00:32:23,200
Speaker 1: who are going to be affected and are being affected.

563
00:32:23,520 --> 00:32:26,280
Speaker 1: But yeah, that's that's part of it is the insurance

564
00:32:26,360 --> 00:32:29,880
Speaker 1: and FEMA who up here. We were frustrated because FEMA

565
00:32:30,000 --> 00:32:35,640
Speaker 1: spent a billion literally be billion dollars in administrative costs.

566
00:32:36,160 --> 00:32:38,560
Speaker 1: We were rather than State of Washington and just shared

567
00:32:38,600 --> 00:32:41,920
Speaker 1: the money with everybody who went through the storm. Wow. Well, Michael,

568
00:32:41,960 --> 00:32:44,160
Speaker 1: thank you so much for your perspective as a Floridian

569
00:32:44,160 --> 00:32:48,080
Speaker 1: who who had been through a severe hurricane in recent years.

570
00:32:48,880 --> 00:32:51,080
Speaker 1: We're going to continue to watch this one very closely,

571
00:32:51,360 --> 00:32:53,880
Speaker 1: and we're just we're thinking about everybody down in Florida.

572
00:32:53,920 --> 00:32:57,000
Speaker 1: I know, it's it's it's a very tense. It's a

573
00:32:57,000 --> 00:32:59,680
Speaker 1: scary time right now, depending on which part of Florida

574
00:32:59,680 --> 00:33:03,120
Speaker 1: you're in, and it's it's really unnerving and we're with

575
00:33:03,200 --> 00:33:06,160
Speaker 1: you in spirit, and we're continuing to follow this. We

576
00:33:06,320 --> 00:33:09,680
Speaker 1: had started out earlier in the program talking about how

577
00:33:09,920 --> 00:33:15,520
Speaker 1: Joe Biden had said that well, he essentially called out

578
00:33:15,560 --> 00:33:19,800
Speaker 1: at a press conference for a member of Congress who

579
00:33:19,840 --> 00:33:24,400
Speaker 1: had died in a car crash just at the at

580
00:33:24,440 --> 00:33:27,400
Speaker 1: the end of this past summer, and now the White

581
00:33:27,400 --> 00:33:29,640
Speaker 1: House is being asked questions really that the President of

582
00:33:29,640 --> 00:33:32,240
Speaker 1: the United States did he? Did he not? Did he

583
00:33:32,320 --> 00:33:35,320
Speaker 1: just not? Recall that this had happened, and Karine Jean

584
00:33:35,400 --> 00:33:39,040
Speaker 1: Pierre is being asked to weigh in on this. What

585
00:33:39,080 --> 00:33:41,400
Speaker 1: happened in the hunger event today, the President appeared to

586
00:33:41,400 --> 00:33:43,880
Speaker 1: look around the room for an audience member, a member

587
00:33:43,920 --> 00:33:46,000
Speaker 1: of Congress who passed away last month. He seemed to

588
00:33:46,040 --> 00:33:48,479
Speaker 1: indication might be in the room. So the President was,

589
00:33:49,040 --> 00:33:51,520
Speaker 1: as you all know, you guys were watching today's event,

590
00:33:51,600 --> 00:33:55,280
Speaker 1: a very important event on food and security. The President

591
00:33:55,320 --> 00:33:58,920
Speaker 1: was naming the congressional champions on this issue and was

592
00:33:59,000 --> 00:34:03,840
Speaker 1: acknowledging her incredible work he had. He had already planned

593
00:34:03,880 --> 00:34:08,080
Speaker 1: to welcome the congresswoman's family to the White House on Friday.

594
00:34:08,120 --> 00:34:10,799
Speaker 1: There will be a bill signing in her honor this

595
00:34:10,920 --> 00:34:14,720
Speaker 1: coming Friday, So of course she was on his mind.

596
00:34:14,800 --> 00:34:18,000
Speaker 1: She was a top of mind for the President. He said, Jackie,

597
00:34:18,080 --> 00:34:20,440
Speaker 1: are you here? Where's Jackie? She must not be here.

598
00:34:20,840 --> 00:34:23,400
Speaker 1: I totally understand. I just I just explained she was

599
00:34:23,440 --> 00:34:26,399
Speaker 1: on top of mind. She was top of mind, so

600
00:34:26,440 --> 00:34:30,279
Speaker 1: he didn't know that she had recently died. This is

601
00:34:30,280 --> 00:34:33,680
Speaker 1: what the White House is saying. Now, Look, I understand

602
00:34:33,760 --> 00:34:36,680
Speaker 1: that the job of the White House Press secretary is

603
00:34:36,840 --> 00:34:40,320
Speaker 1: people say it's information, it's it's propaganda and the defense

604
00:34:40,520 --> 00:34:45,439
Speaker 1: of the White House. Really, but that's that's a tough

605
00:34:45,520 --> 00:34:47,279
Speaker 1: one to try to tell people. Oh, well, he was

606
00:34:47,320 --> 00:34:51,640
Speaker 1: really he was just thinking about her, but apparently didn't

607
00:34:51,680 --> 00:34:53,480
Speaker 1: think about her in the context of she had recently

608
00:34:53,480 --> 00:34:56,719
Speaker 1: died in a tragic accident, so he was wondering where

609
00:34:56,760 --> 00:34:59,279
Speaker 1: she was in the room. Does the commander in chief, folks?

610
00:34:59,320 --> 00:35:03,680
Speaker 1: And when you think about what's going on with certainly

611
00:35:03,719 --> 00:35:05,319
Speaker 1: what's going on in Florida, because that's going to require

612
00:35:05,360 --> 00:35:09,879
Speaker 1: a massive federal response to assist. But also you look

613
00:35:09,920 --> 00:35:13,759
Speaker 1: at nord Stream and Russia, and we are in we

614
00:35:13,880 --> 00:35:18,400
Speaker 1: are in perilous times, and we've got somebody at the

615
00:35:18,480 --> 00:35:22,840
Speaker 1: helm who just is just not all there. It's very obvious.

616
00:35:23,480 --> 00:35:25,319
Speaker 1: And you know, the media used to run these whole

617
00:35:25,360 --> 00:35:27,560
Speaker 1: news cycles on the twenty fifth Amendment and the removal

618
00:35:27,560 --> 00:35:31,200
Speaker 1: of Donald Trump. There may have to be as much

619
00:35:31,239 --> 00:35:34,120
Speaker 1: as Democrats pretend like it's never gonna happen. If he

620
00:35:34,239 --> 00:35:36,160
Speaker 1: runs for a second term, and I think he will,

621
00:35:36,600 --> 00:35:39,200
Speaker 1: there may have to be a twenty fifth Amendment invocation

622
00:35:39,480 --> 00:35:44,000
Speaker 1: because it becomes that clear, that irrefutable, I mean, the

623
00:35:44,080 --> 00:35:47,719
Speaker 1: recklessness of it all. My friends, Look, thank you for

Speaker 1: in New York tomorrow. We're all gonna be watching, thinking about,

626
00:35:54,440 --> 00:35:58,719
Speaker 1: and following as closely as possible this storm in Florida.

627
00:35:59,040 --> 00:36:00,840
Speaker 1: This is the focus of the nation is on this

628
00:36:01,040 --> 00:36:03,960
Speaker 1: right now. So that's what where our minds and hearts are.
