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 --> 00:00:11,000
Speaker 1: Sexton Show podcast. Welcome in Clay Travis buck Sexton Show. Tomorrow.

3
00:00:11,119 --> 00:00:14,200
Speaker 1: Buck Sexton is getting married. I was just telling him

4
00:00:14,240 --> 00:00:17,880
Speaker 1: off air. I think he is probably the first radio

5
00:00:17,920 --> 00:00:20,520
Speaker 1: show host to do a show the day before he

6
00:00:20,520 --> 00:00:23,520
Speaker 1: gets married. And you'll be with us on Monday because

7
00:00:23,520 --> 00:00:27,400
Speaker 1: you don't leave for the honeymoon until Thursday. So I

8
00:00:27,440 --> 00:00:30,720
Speaker 1: can't imagine there are very many radio show hosts who

9
00:00:30,760 --> 00:00:33,480
Speaker 1: are doing a show the day before marriage and effectively

10
00:00:33,520 --> 00:00:37,479
Speaker 1: the day after a marriage. What is it like on

11
00:00:37,640 --> 00:00:40,199
Speaker 1: the eve of your forty one years old? You've been

12
00:00:40,280 --> 00:00:43,159
Speaker 1: single your whole life? What does it feel like on

13
00:00:43,240 --> 00:00:47,640
Speaker 1: the eve of the big day? Very exciting, looking forward

14
00:00:47,640 --> 00:00:51,040
Speaker 1: to it, Just gonna be a great time down here.

15
00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:52,400
Speaker 1: I don't know. I feel like this is when someone

16
00:00:52,440 --> 00:00:54,800
Speaker 1: asked somebody before, like the Super Bowl, what do you

17
00:00:54,800 --> 00:00:58,040
Speaker 1: think it's like? Obviously I'm excited. It's gonna be awesome.

18
00:00:58,400 --> 00:01:04,360
Speaker 1: There we go sou forty one years. I mean, that's again,

19
00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:07,480
Speaker 1: it's a long time to be a bachelor. Now, what's

20
00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:10,600
Speaker 1: the closest you ever got to marriage in those forty

21
00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:13,680
Speaker 1: one years? You're there now, basically tomorrow. You never got engaged,

Speaker 1: when you know you know Carrie is fantastic. We may

25
00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:28,920
Speaker 1: have some wedding advice segments that could appear during the

26
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:33,160
Speaker 1: course of today's show. Um from people you may know.

27
00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:35,679
Speaker 1: Just tossing it out there, So keep your head on

28
00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:37,880
Speaker 1: a swivel. Never know what might happen in the day

29
00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:41,880
Speaker 1: before your wedding. Carrie, I understand when out last night

30
00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:45,120
Speaker 1: with a couple of her bridesmaids, you did what on

31
00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:48,320
Speaker 1: the Thursday before your wedding? Well, since I feel like

32
00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:50,120
Speaker 1: I'm put on the spot, I'm just gonna tell every

33
00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:53,080
Speaker 1: the truth. Carrie went out celebrated with her bridesmaids and

34
00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:59,680
Speaker 1: her closest friends. I found a gluten free pizzeria down

35
00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:02,520
Speaker 1: here in Florida, and I ordered a pizza and I

36
00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:07,760
Speaker 1: watched King Lear the adaptation starring Anthony Hopkins, by myself

37
00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:11,399
Speaker 1: and my pajamas. It was glorious. It was glorious. It

38
00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:13,600
Speaker 1: does sound like kind of an awesome night. I'm not

39
00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:16,040
Speaker 1: gonna lie. My brothers asked me, like, should we should

40
00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:17,880
Speaker 1: we throw a bachelor party for you? I was like,

41
00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:21,480
Speaker 1: I'm it will be a bachelor party of one. It

42
00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:24,880
Speaker 1: was great. I guess that's one advantage too. Also when

43
00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:28,239
Speaker 1: you get to, you know, forty one. I got married

44
00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:30,560
Speaker 1: when I was twenty five, so i took the bar

45
00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:34,360
Speaker 1: exam and immediately I'd never been to Vegas before, immediately

46
00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:37,240
Speaker 1: flew to Vegas. For people out there who remember, like

47
00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:42,480
Speaker 1: the two thousand and four era of Vegas, the place

48
00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:45,080
Speaker 1: you wanted to be was the hard Rock Hotel. It

49
00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:48,000
Speaker 1: doesn't even exist now, it's the Virgin Hotel. I believe

50
00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:50,800
Speaker 1: it's been bought and changed the name. But they had

51
00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:53,919
Speaker 1: a Sandy Beach pool and they had a pool party

52
00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:56,400
Speaker 1: because the Vegas pool party scene was just kind of

53
00:02:56,600 --> 00:03:00,240
Speaker 1: starting off. If you haven't noticed this, people would rather

54
00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:02,360
Speaker 1: a lot of times go to an expensive pool party

55
00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:04,080
Speaker 1: in the middle of the day in Vegas now than

56
00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:07,320
Speaker 1: like the nightclub scene. Sometimes they're mixed together. It's it's

57
00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:10,440
Speaker 1: really kind of a crazy business that they built out there.

58
00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:12,600
Speaker 1: But that was first something I'd ever been to Vegas.

59
00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:14,880
Speaker 1: We had an awesome time. I can't believe it's been

60
00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:17,720
Speaker 1: almost nineteen years since I got married, but if I

61
00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:20,440
Speaker 1: was forty and I was getting married for the first time,

62
00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:21,800
Speaker 1: I don't think i'd be like, yeah, I have to

63
00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:23,560
Speaker 1: go to a bachelor party. You feel like you had

64
00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:26,880
Speaker 1: like basically a twenty year as an adult bachelor party, right,

65
00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:29,240
Speaker 1: I mean, when you've been like single for that long,

66
00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:34,440
Speaker 1: that's one way to put it. I mean, if you

67
00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:37,680
Speaker 1: get if you're a single guy from eighteen to forty one,

68
00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:41,320
Speaker 1: like you, you've you've had an opportunity. You kind of

69
00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:44,280
Speaker 1: live the bachelor, haven't. I have enjoyed a full life

70
00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:48,680
Speaker 1: up to this point and feel no need to star

71
00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:50,920
Speaker 1: in my own version of The Hangover if you will

72
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:54,080
Speaker 1: for those movie all right, that's a fabulous movie. I

73
00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:56,520
Speaker 1: don't even know if they could make it today. Um now,

74
00:03:57,280 --> 00:04:00,640
Speaker 1: Joe Biden just one of many fabulous movies by the

75
00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:02,440
Speaker 1: way that I questioned if they could make it today,

76
00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:06,240
Speaker 1: Old School like, such an incredible movie. I don't know

77
00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:09,080
Speaker 1: that they could make it today. They should, by the way,

78
00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:11,280
Speaker 1: the movie would be just as popular, if not more so,

79
00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:13,480
Speaker 1: today because I think people would embrace it even more.

80
00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:16,880
Speaker 1: Super Bad also another incredible movie. Not sure they could

81
00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:19,680
Speaker 1: make it just in the last twenty years. Those movies

82
00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:24,920
Speaker 1: Joe Biden just had a press availability, hasn't really had

83
00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:27,200
Speaker 1: a press conference. I don't think if they'll allow him

84
00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:31,040
Speaker 1: to have some questions screamed at him and Buck. When

85
00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:34,400
Speaker 1: Joe Biden came into the White House, inflation was one

86
00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:39,440
Speaker 1: point four percent. After his drunken sailor esque spending escapades

87
00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:44,719
Speaker 1: and economic consequences setting in inflation surged all the way

88
00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:47,760
Speaker 1: to nine point one percent. Remember Joe Biden said, the

89
00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:49,960
Speaker 1: adults are going to be back in charge. There also

90
00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:54,320
Speaker 1: is a Chinese spy balloon that is currently floating above Montana,

91
00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:56,400
Speaker 1: I believe, which we will talk about during the course

92
00:04:56,440 --> 00:04:59,880
Speaker 1: of today's show. But I thought this was revealing. Biden said,

93
00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:02,679
Speaker 1: take responsibility. I'm going to be the adult in charge.

94
00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:06,160
Speaker 1: He was directly asked, Hey, are you responsible for inflation?

95
00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:12,200
Speaker 1: Here's what he said, I'm taking blame inflation. No, why not?

96
00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:14,600
Speaker 1: Because it was already there when I got here. Man,

97
00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:16,680
Speaker 1: Remember what the economy was like when I got here.

98
00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:22,560
Speaker 1: Jobs were a hemorrhage, inflation was rising. We weren't manufacturing

99
00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:25,720
Speaker 1: and dance thing here. We were in real economic difficulty.

100
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:30,640
Speaker 1: That's why I don't it's crazy. The economic difficulty was

101
00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:34,279
Speaker 1: self imposed at that point when he took over basically

102
00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:39,800
Speaker 1: by Democrat states that refused to act normally and open up.

103
00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:42,640
Speaker 1: I mean, so, so start with that, right. All the

104
00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:46,640
Speaker 1: dislocations we saw in the economy, unfortunately were a response

105
00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:51,400
Speaker 1: and a completely unnecessary and wrong response to COVID. We

106
00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:53,599
Speaker 1: should never have locked down, We should never have done

107
00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:55,920
Speaker 1: PPP because we should have never told people they couldn't

108
00:05:55,960 --> 00:05:57,640
Speaker 1: go to their jobs. But you know, all of this,

109
00:05:57,960 --> 00:06:01,240
Speaker 1: all the things that happened that led to I think

110
00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:03,680
Speaker 1: it was six trillion of spending in twenty twenty when

111
00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:07,560
Speaker 1: Trump was in office, and then the additional two trillion

112
00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:10,159
Speaker 1: plus it would have been five trillion if they had

113
00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:13,360
Speaker 1: gotten their way in Biden's first year in office. This

114
00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:17,080
Speaker 1: is like running an experiment to create inflation. It was

115
00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:20,440
Speaker 1: obviously something that people have now figured out was a

116
00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:22,279
Speaker 1: bad idea, or at least a lot of people figured

117
00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:25,479
Speaker 1: out it's a bad idea. And it should be noted

118
00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:30,000
Speaker 1: that the Democrats, there's a cognitive dissonance. There are ideas

119
00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:33,839
Speaker 1: they hold in their heads simultaneously that cannot coexist, but

120
00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:36,800
Speaker 1: yet they still hold them in their heads. Democrats bid

121
00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:41,880
Speaker 1: didn't think Democrats like bi didn't think that the spending

122
00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:45,039
Speaker 1: problem is somehow not related to the inflation problem, that

123
00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:48,320
Speaker 1: these are separate issues, which of course they are not right.

124
00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:51,039
Speaker 1: This is like that your house is burning down because

125
00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:53,680
Speaker 1: it is on fire. It is not burning down separately

126
00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:56,640
Speaker 1: from the fire that is engulfing the house. They just

127
00:06:56,680 --> 00:06:59,039
Speaker 1: don't care, though, Man, they'll they'll keep on telling people

128
00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:01,479
Speaker 1: it's someone else's fall. It's the remember when it was

129
00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:04,360
Speaker 1: the greedy corporations clay, Oh, yeah, there was that price

130
00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:07,560
Speaker 1: that hasn't come back up because obviously the oil companies

131
00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:09,280
Speaker 1: have made a lot of money. If you've been paying

132
00:07:09,279 --> 00:07:12,160
Speaker 1: attention to Exon Chevron, they've had some of the most

133
00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:16,440
Speaker 1: profitable quarters they've ever had as public companies because the

134
00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:20,600
Speaker 1: price of oil and gas skyrocketed and they aren't able

135
00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:24,840
Speaker 1: to invest and produce more oil and gas because the

136
00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:28,040
Speaker 1: Biden administrations basically said, hey, we want to destroy your business.

137
00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:31,440
Speaker 1: So instead of spending more and more money on infrastructure,

138
00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:34,880
Speaker 1: they're just starting to rely and crank up the profit wheel.

139
00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:39,080
Speaker 1: And more power to them. But the thing that's disappointing

140
00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:44,280
Speaker 1: about this is it's a direct lie. Joe Biden's policies

141
00:07:44,520 --> 00:07:47,520
Speaker 1: caused inflation to skyrocket again. It's important to note when

142
00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:50,960
Speaker 1: Biden came into office in January of twenty twenty one,

143
00:07:51,080 --> 00:07:55,520
Speaker 1: inflation was one point four percent. It almost immediately started

144
00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:57,760
Speaker 1: to skyrocket because one of the first things he did,

145
00:07:57,760 --> 00:08:01,720
Speaker 1: if I remember correctly, Buck was poor one point nine trillion.

146
00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:04,120
Speaker 1: Wasn't at one point nine trillion that they spent on

147
00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:07,040
Speaker 1: COVID relief, I mean entirely Democrat by the way, not

148
00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:10,080
Speaker 1: a single Republican vote for that spending package. Then they

149
00:08:10,120 --> 00:08:13,400
Speaker 1: came in and did infrastructure, and then they were trying,

150
00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:16,920
Speaker 1: as you said, Buck, to spend five trillion dollars, and

151
00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:20,160
Speaker 1: Joe Mansion was basically the only Democrat who kept that

152
00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:22,920
Speaker 1: five trillion in spending from occurring. And I got to

153
00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:25,520
Speaker 1: give credit. I was reading this morning in the New

154
00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:27,280
Speaker 1: York Times, or maybe it was yesterday in the New

155
00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:29,920
Speaker 1: York Times. It's a big profile piece on Joe Mansion

156
00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:32,600
Speaker 1: and what he's potentially going to do in the Times,

157
00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:35,960
Speaker 1: and Senator Mark Warner, who is a Democrat governor from

158
00:08:36,160 --> 00:08:39,760
Speaker 1: a Democrat senator from Virginia formerly the governor as well,

159
00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:42,960
Speaker 1: he came out and said, you know what, we were wrong,

160
00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:46,080
Speaker 1: and you rarely see a politician say it. He said,

161
00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:49,719
Speaker 1: in particular, I was wrong, meaning Senator Warner of Virginia,

162
00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:53,400
Speaker 1: Joe Mansion was right not to allow us to spend

163
00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:56,960
Speaker 1: that five trillion dollars, because if we had, we would

164
00:08:57,040 --> 00:09:00,120
Speaker 1: have been in infinitely worse shape as it pertained to

165
00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:03,560
Speaker 1: I actually read it, and it's so rare for a

166
00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:05,920
Speaker 1: politician buck to say, you know what, I was wrong,

167
00:09:06,280 --> 00:09:09,160
Speaker 1: And more power to Warner for saying he was wrong.

168
00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:13,200
Speaker 1: But it further illustrates what should be a huge part

169
00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:15,240
Speaker 1: of this story. Not only did Biden get us to

170
00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:18,400
Speaker 1: nine point one buck, it would have been infinitely worse

171
00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:21,280
Speaker 1: if he had actually gotten what he wanted. And I

172
00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:23,280
Speaker 1: do think it's fair to start to look at these

173
00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:28,640
Speaker 1: things in a context. What's a bigger problem for the

174
00:09:28,679 --> 00:09:33,719
Speaker 1: American people? You know, George Santos saying that he invented electricity,

175
00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:37,920
Speaker 1: or Joe Biden signing a bill passed by the Democrats

176
00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:43,120
Speaker 1: called the Inflation Reduction Act that will do nothing, nothing

177
00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:47,080
Speaker 1: to reduce inflation. They are lying to people. Yes, they

178
00:09:47,160 --> 00:09:49,960
Speaker 1: just created a talking point and they went with it.

179
00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:51,360
Speaker 1: It is a lie. They know that it will not

180
00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:54,160
Speaker 1: reduce inflation. No serious human being will say it will

181
00:09:54,160 --> 00:09:56,520
Speaker 1: reduce inflation. There's no person you can find who would

182
00:09:56,559 --> 00:09:59,160
Speaker 1: ever be able to defend that. But they want you

183
00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:04,640
Speaker 1: to get really upset over you know, santos cure in

184
00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:07,400
Speaker 1: cancer when he was twelve. Like, this is not something

185
00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:11,520
Speaker 1: that I think we should allow to go unremarked upon.

186
00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:16,960
Speaker 1: The Democrat Party embraces enormous and obvious lies when it

187
00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:20,120
Speaker 1: suits their political needs, and they're doing it. They're doing

188
00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:22,120
Speaker 1: it obviously with inflation. They've done it on a whole

189
00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:24,000
Speaker 1: range of issues. The notion that they don't want an

190
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:25,880
Speaker 1: open border, Yes they do. They want the border to

191
00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:28,800
Speaker 1: be open. They're doing nothing to stop this nothing, So

192
00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:31,440
Speaker 1: we have to look at it honestly. Yeah, and it's

193
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:34,680
Speaker 1: to your point, what are the consequences in a large

194
00:10:34,679 --> 00:10:37,880
Speaker 1: scale of what George Santos lied about. I think that

195
00:10:37,920 --> 00:10:40,600
Speaker 1: people in his district should have the opportunity to render

196
00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:43,160
Speaker 1: a verdict on him next year in the primary when

197
00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:45,400
Speaker 1: they decide who is going to be the representative for

198
00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:48,920
Speaker 1: that community. But in the meantime, there are almost no

199
00:10:49,080 --> 00:10:53,439
Speaker 1: consequences in terms of larger national public policy from his lies.

200
00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:57,800
Speaker 1: There's huge consequences every time Joe Biden comes out and

201
00:10:57,880 --> 00:11:00,920
Speaker 1: lies about something like this. Hey, inflation is already surging.

202
00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:05,080
Speaker 1: Or really, this is not a lie, it's an it's

203
00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:09,480
Speaker 1: a it's a truth that is not directly responsible for

204
00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:12,000
Speaker 1: the way that it's being applied. And that's poorly phrase.

205
00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:15,120
Speaker 1: But when Joe Biden says we've created twelve million new

206
00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:18,040
Speaker 1: jobs or whatever the number is, those are not new jobs.

207
00:11:18,360 --> 00:11:21,560
Speaker 1: Those are people that Democrats were not allowing to work

208
00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:25,520
Speaker 1: because of their COVID lockdowns to a large degree to

209
00:11:25,720 --> 00:11:29,520
Speaker 1: punish Donald Trump in an election year, and as soon

210
00:11:29,559 --> 00:11:32,520
Speaker 1: as Joe Biden was in office, they allowed those people.

211
00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:35,520
Speaker 1: Many of those states, those blue states, Illinois, New York,

212
00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:38,480
Speaker 1: California chief among them. They said, oh, you can go

213
00:11:38,520 --> 00:11:41,480
Speaker 1: back to work now. Well, when you get to go

214
00:11:41,559 --> 00:11:44,240
Speaker 1: back to the job that you already had, that's not

215
00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:46,360
Speaker 1: a new job. When the government tells you that you

216
00:11:46,440 --> 00:11:49,000
Speaker 1: can't work and then you go back to work because

217
00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:52,000
Speaker 1: the government allows you to do it again, taking credit

218
00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:56,040
Speaker 1: for that as a new job is. It may be true,

219
00:11:56,640 --> 00:11:59,920
Speaker 1: you know, from a you know, sort of basic fact,

220
00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:03,679
Speaker 1: dual perspective, But everybody out there listening right now understands

221
00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:07,319
Speaker 1: the difference between creating thirteen million or twelve million or

222
00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:11,520
Speaker 1: whatever it is jobs that did not exist, and allowing

223
00:12:11,559 --> 00:12:14,240
Speaker 1: people to go back and so taking credit for that

224
00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:17,960
Speaker 1: while also simultaneously saying I had nothing to do with

225
00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:22,840
Speaker 1: inflation is a combination. Why on the economy that Joe

226
00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:25,559
Speaker 1: Biden has been basically putting out there ever since he

227
00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:29,319
Speaker 1: came into office. I think everyone needs to get ready though,

228
00:12:29,400 --> 00:12:34,400
Speaker 1: for the reality that the inflation issue is unlikely to

229
00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:38,080
Speaker 1: be helpful in twenty twenty four for Republicans, because it

230
00:12:38,120 --> 00:12:40,280
Speaker 1: wasn't helpful enough in twenty twenty two when it was

231
00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:42,880
Speaker 1: really it was really bad. That's right. It does remind

232
00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:47,040
Speaker 1: me a lot of the situation that we faced in

233
00:12:47,080 --> 00:12:51,840
Speaker 1: twenty two twelve with Barack Obama's reelection. At that point,

234
00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:55,360
Speaker 1: the evidence was all very clear that it was the

235
00:12:55,440 --> 00:13:00,720
Speaker 1: weakest recovery in the history, in the weakness economic recovery

236
00:13:00,760 --> 00:13:03,560
Speaker 1: since World War Two. So you would think a super

237
00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:07,320
Speaker 1: weak recovery would be no, actually not enough. Barack Obama

238
00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:10,000
Speaker 1: one beat mid Romney by a lot. So you know,

239
00:13:10,040 --> 00:13:13,840
Speaker 1: the inflation issue, it's it's affecting people, but it's it's

240
00:13:13,880 --> 00:13:17,480
Speaker 1: almost like when people vote about people despise Congress and

241
00:13:17,520 --> 00:13:19,720
Speaker 1: don't trust Congress. Right, we all know that they'll always

242
00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:22,280
Speaker 1: say all the polls show Congress is, you know, about

243
00:13:22,320 --> 00:13:25,079
Speaker 1: as popular as strep throat. But then when you ask

244
00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:29,480
Speaker 1: somebody about their member of Congress, yeah, it's like, well,

245
00:13:29,480 --> 00:13:31,520
Speaker 1: my guy's good or my gal is good. She does

246
00:13:31,520 --> 00:13:34,000
Speaker 1: the good things right, So it's never as simple as well, yeah,

247
00:13:34,040 --> 00:13:37,160
Speaker 1: inflations bothersome. But will they really vote on it? Will

248
00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:39,800
Speaker 1: they really care when when push comes to shove on it?

249
00:13:40,120 --> 00:13:42,080
Speaker 1: You know, I don't have answers to that, but I

250
00:13:42,120 --> 00:13:44,200
Speaker 1: do know that they lie about it, and I do

251
00:13:44,280 --> 00:13:46,560
Speaker 1: think that calling a bill that was just a spending

252
00:13:46,559 --> 00:13:50,320
Speaker 1: bill the Inflation Reduction Act was was the most brave,

253
00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:53,200
Speaker 1: one of the most brazen lies that Biden has told

254
00:13:53,280 --> 00:13:55,360
Speaker 1: since he's been in office, or that he's been a

255
00:13:55,400 --> 00:13:58,480
Speaker 1: part of since he became president. And the fact that

256
00:13:58,520 --> 00:14:01,960
Speaker 1: every time the media references it buck they call it

257
00:14:02,080 --> 00:14:05,280
Speaker 1: that right, which is crazy branding in and of itself,

258
00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:08,400
Speaker 1: that they assist in the big lie that that actually

259
00:14:08,520 --> 00:14:12,000
Speaker 1: is the Inflation Reduction Act. You want to support companies

260
00:14:12,040 --> 00:14:13,640
Speaker 1: that see the world the way you do, I've got

261
00:14:13,640 --> 00:14:16,680
Speaker 1: a suggestion, consider switching to pure Talk for your cell

262
00:14:16,679 --> 00:14:20,200
Speaker 1: phone service. Pure Talk is the antidote to woke wireless.

263
00:14:20,320 --> 00:14:22,440
Speaker 1: It's every bit as good as T Mobile, AT and

264
00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:26,000
Speaker 1: T or Verizon. They're proudly veteran owned, employ a US

265
00:14:26,040 --> 00:14:29,160
Speaker 1: based customer service team, and refuse to spend their advertising

266
00:14:29,200 --> 00:14:32,720
Speaker 1: dollars on fake news networks. You're gonna get blazing fast data,

267
00:14:32,800 --> 00:14:35,440
Speaker 1: talk and text for just thirty bucks a month. That's

268
00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:37,920
Speaker 1: probably half what you're paying Verizon, AT and T or

269
00:14:37,960 --> 00:14:40,720
Speaker 1: T Mobile. Keep your phone and your phone number when

270
00:14:40,760 --> 00:14:42,640
Speaker 1: you switch over to pure Talk. You can make the

271
00:14:42,680 --> 00:14:45,440
Speaker 1: switch in as little as ten minutes plus. Pure Talk

272
00:14:45,480 --> 00:14:48,560
Speaker 1: has a first month risk free guarantee. Try it and

273
00:14:48,600 --> 00:14:51,000
Speaker 1: if you're not completely happy with your pure Talk service,

274
00:14:51,160 --> 00:14:53,960
Speaker 1: you'll get your money back. Support a company who supports you.

275
00:14:54,520 --> 00:14:57,480
Speaker 1: Dial pound two fifty say Clay and Buck. You'll save

276
00:14:57,520 --> 00:15:00,920
Speaker 1: an additional fifty percent off your first month again. Dial

277
00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:04,880
Speaker 1: pound two five zero say Clay and back. Pure Talk

278
00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:10,440
Speaker 1: is simply smarter wireless Clay, Travis and Buck Sexton making

279
00:15:10,600 --> 00:15:14,960
Speaker 1: sense in an insane world. Buck, this is your older brother, Mace.

280
00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:19,120
Speaker 1: My best marriage advice to you is really simple. Just

281
00:15:19,120 --> 00:15:22,640
Speaker 1: don't piss carry off. Think you follow that advice. It

282
00:15:22,640 --> 00:15:25,400
Speaker 1: would be good to go. As they say, happy wife,

285
00:15:34,200 --> 00:15:37,000
Speaker 1: I'm sure all the men listening to this would co

286
00:15:37,160 --> 00:15:39,800
Speaker 1: sign that one. Don't don't upset the wife, right, Clay,

287
00:15:39,960 --> 00:15:43,200
Speaker 1: that's good. It's a good good goal. Yes, that's a

288
00:15:43,240 --> 00:15:46,720
Speaker 1: good started thing. Yes, we also have some expertise coming

289
00:15:46,760 --> 00:15:52,360
Speaker 1: to us right now from Scott in San Diego, who

290
00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:57,200
Speaker 1: is a balloonist. I didn't even know that was a thing. Scott, yeah,

291
00:15:57,240 --> 00:16:02,320
Speaker 1: it is. I fly both gaff hot air balloons. I

292
00:16:02,360 --> 00:16:04,400
Speaker 1: can tell you that particular balloon has got to be

293
00:16:04,480 --> 00:16:08,760
Speaker 1: gas and it's most likely helium. There are only two

294
00:16:08,800 --> 00:16:12,120
Speaker 1: ways to gain altitude in a gas balloon, and that

295
00:16:12,240 --> 00:16:16,360
Speaker 1: is either to add helium or lose weight. When we

296
00:16:16,440 --> 00:16:20,080
Speaker 1: fly gas balloons, we lose weight to get altitude, and

297
00:16:20,120 --> 00:16:23,520
Speaker 1: typically if you dump eight pounds off of a balloon,

298
00:16:23,560 --> 00:16:27,800
Speaker 1: you'll get twelve thousand feet out of that elevation because

299
00:16:27,880 --> 00:16:30,760
Speaker 1: once you float, you become lighter than air. But you're

300
00:16:30,840 --> 00:16:33,200
Speaker 1: in the balloon, right, So this is sorry to cut

301
00:16:33,200 --> 00:16:35,960
Speaker 1: you off, but this is unmanned. What do you know

302
00:16:36,040 --> 00:16:40,200
Speaker 1: about the piloting or controlling of an unmanned balloon like this?

303
00:16:41,560 --> 00:16:44,040
Speaker 1: If it doesn't have propulsion. You're at the mercy of

304
00:16:44,040 --> 00:16:47,680
Speaker 1: the winds. There's no other way around it. The other

305
00:16:47,720 --> 00:16:51,400
Speaker 1: thing with balloons is nothing happens fast with them. So

306
00:16:51,520 --> 00:16:54,560
Speaker 1: if they were to put probably two or three golf

307
00:16:54,600 --> 00:16:57,880
Speaker 1: ball sized holes in that balloon, it would gently vent

308
00:16:58,200 --> 00:17:02,600
Speaker 1: and float to the earth land calmly. It's not like

309
00:17:02,680 --> 00:17:05,440
Speaker 1: blowing it out of the air because if you vent

310
00:17:05,520 --> 00:17:10,240
Speaker 1: the helium, you just automatically start losing altitude. So you

311
00:17:10,240 --> 00:17:12,760
Speaker 1: could just puncture this thing in general, and it would

312
00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:18,080
Speaker 1: theoretically slowly begin a descent and not create in theory

313
00:17:18,600 --> 00:17:25,119
Speaker 1: a massive, massive result on the ground. Exactly exactly. Nothing

314
00:17:25,200 --> 00:17:27,840
Speaker 1: happens fast, and you know, unless you blew it out

315
00:17:27,840 --> 00:17:30,680
Speaker 1: of the sky, then whatever payload was on there would

316
00:17:30,720 --> 00:17:35,200
Speaker 1: hit the ground. If the Hindenberg was hydrogen, right, which

317
00:17:35,240 --> 00:17:37,200
Speaker 1: we learned, that's bad. You don't want a big, big

318
00:17:37,200 --> 00:17:41,040
Speaker 1: balloon full of hydrogen. And the reason they use hydrogen

319
00:17:41,080 --> 00:17:46,520
Speaker 1: in the Hindenburg is because helium was hard to get. Ah, yes,

320
00:17:46,960 --> 00:17:48,920
Speaker 1: all right, So what do you when you see this

321
00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:53,000
Speaker 1: thing happening? It's kind of crazy, right like, and we

322
00:17:53,080 --> 00:17:55,440
Speaker 1: only got like twenty seconds here, But what's your thoughts?

323
00:17:55,480 --> 00:17:59,960
Speaker 1: You watch this thing floating across the country. My opinion

324
00:18:00,280 --> 00:18:04,080
Speaker 1: is yours. Get it out of the sky. Yeah yeah,

325
00:18:04,720 --> 00:18:09,640
Speaker 1: And you know, obviously the Pentagon knows plenty of experts

326
00:18:09,640 --> 00:18:12,119
Speaker 1: that could tell you the same thing I just told you.

327
00:18:12,119 --> 00:18:13,720
Speaker 1: You know, put a small hole in it and it

328
00:18:13,720 --> 00:18:16,400
Speaker 1: would vent the helium. Eventually, it's going to run out

329
00:18:16,400 --> 00:18:19,600
Speaker 1: of helium. Thanks for calling in. Let's talk about Tone

330
00:18:19,600 --> 00:18:23,119
Speaker 1: of the Towers Foundation, Talalath. The Towers Foundation is doing

331
00:18:23,160 --> 00:18:27,720
Speaker 1: everything they can to give educators access to non fiction

332
00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:31,560
Speaker 1: nine eleven resources for K through twelve because there's a

333
00:18:31,600 --> 00:18:34,800
Speaker 1: whole generation of Americans who know little to nothing about

334
00:18:34,880 --> 00:18:37,840
Speaker 1: nine to eleven. So Tnath the Towers is doing something

335
00:18:37,840 --> 00:18:41,160
Speaker 1: about this, providing full curriculum curriculum units built around first

336
00:18:41,160 --> 00:18:45,359
Speaker 1: person accounts with scripted social studies, lessons, activities, and background

337
00:18:45,359 --> 00:18:48,000
Speaker 1: for teachers. They've also set up a speakers bureau with

338
00:18:48,080 --> 00:18:51,520
Speaker 1: nine to eleven first responders, survivors, and loved ones plus.

339
00:18:51,560 --> 00:18:53,040
Speaker 1: As you know, the Tone of the Towers Foundation just

340
00:18:53,200 --> 00:18:56,159
Speaker 1: so much for our nation's heroes and their families to

341
00:18:56,240 --> 00:18:59,760
Speaker 1: never forget. We must educate future generations. Help Tonal of

356
00:19:51,080 --> 00:19:56,040
Speaker 1: the Chinese spy balloon that continues to traverse across the

357
00:19:56,160 --> 00:20:01,480
Speaker 1: United States, Senator Marshall of Kansas just said, I can

358
00:20:01,600 --> 00:20:04,520
Speaker 1: confirm I'm reading from his tweet now, this is forty

359
00:20:04,520 --> 00:20:08,440
Speaker 1: five minutes ago. I can confirm the Chinese spy balloon

360
00:20:08,680 --> 00:20:13,439
Speaker 1: is over northeastern Kansas. My staff is in contact with

361
00:20:13,560 --> 00:20:18,400
Speaker 1: law enforcement officials. I condemn any attempts the Chinese make

362
00:20:18,480 --> 00:20:23,600
Speaker 1: to spy on Americans. President Biden must protect the sovereignty

363
00:20:23,640 --> 00:20:29,159
Speaker 1: of the US, whether it's our airspace or the southern border.

364
00:20:29,840 --> 00:20:32,800
Speaker 1: That was about forty five minutes ago from Senator Marshall

365
00:20:32,800 --> 00:20:38,760
Speaker 1: of Kansas. So northeast corner of Kansas would be close

366
00:20:38,840 --> 00:20:43,160
Speaker 1: to Missouri, right if if my geography in my head

367
00:20:43,240 --> 00:20:47,120
Speaker 1: is correct, there, so maybe moving from Kansas in the

368
00:20:47,119 --> 00:20:51,000
Speaker 1: direction of Missouri, and then according to the flight plan

369
00:20:51,119 --> 00:20:53,440
Speaker 1: that I have seen, at least maybe this is prevailing

370
00:20:53,480 --> 00:20:57,240
Speaker 1: wind currents, this thing would then move across the entire

371
00:20:57,320 --> 00:21:01,920
Speaker 1: state of Tennessee basically, and then exit United States Airbase

372
00:21:02,560 --> 00:21:05,959
Speaker 1: in the area of North and South Carolina around the

373
00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:11,639
Speaker 1: border between those two is what those airspace seems to

374
00:21:11,760 --> 00:21:14,720
Speaker 1: suggest where they would go across. So that is the

375
00:21:14,800 --> 00:21:18,640
Speaker 1: latest on that issue. Are we sure that we're sure

376
00:21:18,640 --> 00:21:24,359
Speaker 1: there's no there are no uh, I'm sorry that it's unmanned. Um, well,

377
00:21:24,400 --> 00:21:26,920
Speaker 1: I mean I think right, it has to be, yeah,

378
00:21:26,960 --> 00:21:30,199
Speaker 1: doesn't it. I mean, there hasn't been any suggestion that

379
00:21:30,280 --> 00:21:32,240
Speaker 1: anybody would be in this thing. But that's the question

380
00:21:32,240 --> 00:21:34,639
Speaker 1: that I was asking and we kind of talked about.

381
00:21:35,040 --> 00:21:37,359
Speaker 1: To me, it seems as if this is not being

382
00:21:37,520 --> 00:21:43,520
Speaker 1: remotely controlled at least in a very significant way because again,

383
00:21:43,720 --> 00:21:46,240
Speaker 1: and I'm not an expert, but it appears, based on

384
00:21:46,280 --> 00:21:48,960
Speaker 1: the flight path that it has taken that it is

385
00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:52,720
Speaker 1: basically following the prevailing wind currents on its way out,

386
00:21:52,720 --> 00:21:58,959
Speaker 1: which makes me wonder is there some form of issue

387
00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:01,679
Speaker 1: there with their bill to maneuver it. I don't know

388
00:22:01,760 --> 00:22:03,879
Speaker 1: they have a plane, like does the Air Force have

389
00:22:03,920 --> 00:22:10,080
Speaker 1: a plane that could theoretically kind of how big is this?

390
00:22:10,280 --> 00:22:14,520
Speaker 1: I honestly this is I'm sorry, it expands beyond or this.

391
00:22:14,520 --> 00:22:19,639
Speaker 1: This extends beyond my previous national security knowledge. I do

392
00:22:19,720 --> 00:22:23,280
Speaker 1: not know much about balloons. This is this is a

393
00:22:23,280 --> 00:22:24,639
Speaker 1: new one for me. But I'm just thinking, I'm like,

394
00:22:24,720 --> 00:22:27,440
Speaker 1: is there anything they can do to grab control of it?

395
00:22:29,480 --> 00:22:33,440
Speaker 1: People out there are telling me that we should certainly

396
00:22:33,520 --> 00:22:38,880
Speaker 1: have the ability to take down this Chinese spy balloon

397
00:22:39,520 --> 00:22:42,720
Speaker 1: without needing to shoot it down, which is why Buck

398
00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:46,399
Speaker 1: my general position on this is we're not being told

399
00:22:46,440 --> 00:22:49,439
Speaker 1: everything because right now they're saying, oh, we're not going

400
00:22:49,520 --> 00:22:52,160
Speaker 1: to take it down because if we take it down,

401
00:22:52,240 --> 00:22:55,399
Speaker 1: there could be issues or danger associated with the balloon falling.

402
00:22:55,640 --> 00:22:58,200
Speaker 1: Just just to note, you know, uh, they're just flashing

403
00:22:58,200 --> 00:23:02,840
Speaker 1: on the screen. Gary Francis, Gary Powers nineteen sixty you

404
00:23:02,920 --> 00:23:05,399
Speaker 1: two shooting, so you know everyone's then the news media

405
00:23:05,480 --> 00:23:07,520
Speaker 1: is sort of going through the cycle of where we've

406
00:23:07,560 --> 00:23:11,439
Speaker 1: been before, that's something like this, this is a weird deal. Um,

407
00:23:11,480 --> 00:23:13,960
Speaker 1: but yeah, well we'll continue to follow it. That's that's

408
00:23:13,960 --> 00:23:16,560
Speaker 1: where that's where we are right now or else is

409
00:23:16,600 --> 00:23:20,919
Speaker 1: a weird deal. Clay that Hunter Biden wants investigations of

410
00:23:21,040 --> 00:23:23,040
Speaker 1: people with regard to the laptop. And I was on

411
00:23:23,160 --> 00:23:26,560
Speaker 1: Jesse's show last night on Fox Talk. There's two we're

412
00:23:26,560 --> 00:23:28,760
Speaker 1: friends with two, Jesse's Waters and Kelly, So I guess

413
00:23:28,800 --> 00:23:31,400
Speaker 1: we have to start differentiating. But on Jesse Waters show

414
00:23:32,320 --> 00:23:34,679
Speaker 1: last night talking about that one, do you have you

415
00:23:34,720 --> 00:23:37,000
Speaker 1: thought more about the theory? By the way, do you

416
00:23:37,640 --> 00:23:41,159
Speaker 1: have some senses to in what world could Hunter Biden

417
00:23:41,800 --> 00:23:46,960
Speaker 1: going on offense here possibly be to his benefit? Because

418
00:23:47,080 --> 00:23:49,520
Speaker 1: it just makes it more of a story to talk about,

419
00:23:49,960 --> 00:23:53,320
Speaker 1: and if anything, it antagonizes some of his political foes

420
00:23:53,840 --> 00:23:56,119
Speaker 1: who have been right all along and would be happy.

421
00:23:56,160 --> 00:23:59,160
Speaker 1: I'm sure to get into a process here of looking

422
00:23:59,160 --> 00:24:01,560
Speaker 1: at what's on this laptop some more. I think it's

423
00:24:01,600 --> 00:24:05,520
Speaker 1: next level in competence, and to me, it reflects that

424
00:24:05,600 --> 00:24:09,679
Speaker 1: they are in a very perilous situation because if sometimes

425
00:24:09,680 --> 00:24:11,479
Speaker 1: you get back to all the way into the corner,

426
00:24:12,280 --> 00:24:17,000
Speaker 1: you feel like the only possible outcome is you fight

427
00:24:17,280 --> 00:24:21,240
Speaker 1: as hard as you possibly can to try to intimidate

428
00:24:21,280 --> 00:24:23,760
Speaker 1: people when you feel like you have no other options.

429
00:24:23,840 --> 00:24:27,080
Speaker 1: And frankly, I think that's where we are with the

430
00:24:27,160 --> 00:24:32,360
Speaker 1: Hunter Biden laptop story this week, where effectively his attorneys

431
00:24:32,640 --> 00:24:38,480
Speaker 1: had it come out, Hey, we're in favor of you know,

432
00:24:38,480 --> 00:24:41,240
Speaker 1: we're sending all these letters because the laptop and the

433
00:24:41,280 --> 00:24:45,359
Speaker 1: sharing of this data has violated law and Hunter Biden's privacy,

434
00:24:45,920 --> 00:24:48,920
Speaker 1: which everyone who has a functional brain said, oh wow,

435
00:24:48,960 --> 00:24:51,280
Speaker 1: this is an admission that the laptop must be real,

436
00:24:51,680 --> 00:24:55,280
Speaker 1: which was ultimately the biggest takeaway. And then Hunter Biden's

437
00:24:55,320 --> 00:24:58,280
Speaker 1: lawyers it's like they recognized, oh, this didn't play like

438
00:24:58,359 --> 00:25:01,080
Speaker 1: we anticipated it would play, and so then they came

439
00:25:01,119 --> 00:25:03,399
Speaker 1: back out and said, but the laptop, we're not acknowledging

440
00:25:03,440 --> 00:25:06,359
Speaker 1: the laptop is real. It's all very very strange. It

441
00:25:06,440 --> 00:25:10,159
Speaker 1: just it doesn't add up to me at all, the

442
00:25:10,240 --> 00:25:13,480
Speaker 1: decision he's making. But I mean, but for example, here's

443
00:25:13,520 --> 00:25:17,919
Speaker 1: former Representative Donna Edwards talking about the Hunter Biden laptop.

444
00:25:17,960 --> 00:25:21,760
Speaker 1: Can we play thirteen. Please. They're in an environment where

445
00:25:21,960 --> 00:25:24,919
Speaker 1: the House Oversight Committee was going to put Hunter Biden

446
00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:28,040
Speaker 1: in the news no matter what that means that from

447
00:25:28,160 --> 00:25:31,160
Speaker 1: Hunter Biden's perspective, which may be different from the White House,

448
00:25:31,280 --> 00:25:33,440
Speaker 1: it's important for him to be able to push back

449
00:25:33,480 --> 00:25:36,159
Speaker 1: and not just allow them free reign. And so I

450
00:25:36,200 --> 00:25:38,720
Speaker 1: think this is a smart strategy for him, both a

451
00:25:38,800 --> 00:25:42,520
Speaker 1: smart legal and a smart political strategy. And I think

452
00:25:42,560 --> 00:25:45,040
Speaker 1: that you know, Republicans are then going to have to

453
00:25:45,080 --> 00:25:48,119
Speaker 1: respond to this as well. So I think some of

454
00:25:48,200 --> 00:25:51,320
Speaker 1: us on the outside who have heard the sort of

455
00:25:51,400 --> 00:25:54,800
Speaker 1: silence have been frustrated with not being able to put

456
00:25:54,880 --> 00:25:57,360
Speaker 1: forward his side. So I think this is a good

457
00:25:57,400 --> 00:26:02,280
Speaker 1: move for him. What is this side exactly? Because the

458
00:26:02,359 --> 00:26:05,200
Speaker 1: laptop was like, Yeah, I'm a crack addict who likes

459
00:26:05,240 --> 00:26:09,800
Speaker 1: to sleep with prostitutes and sexually harass my employees and

460
00:26:09,920 --> 00:26:15,560
Speaker 1: make millions of dollars, including inappropriate relationships with foreign governance

461
00:26:15,600 --> 00:26:20,280
Speaker 1: that governments directly impact my own dad's ability to do

462
00:26:20,359 --> 00:26:22,480
Speaker 1: his job like this a lot. This just goes to

463
00:26:22,560 --> 00:26:25,520
Speaker 1: my point, A lot of politicians are not smart, and

464
00:26:25,600 --> 00:26:29,600
Speaker 1: so that clip that we just played is evidence of

465
00:26:29,680 --> 00:26:32,360
Speaker 1: how many politicians are just not smart. They can't analyze

466
00:26:32,359 --> 00:26:37,400
Speaker 1: the information and understand the significance of these stories, which

467
00:26:37,440 --> 00:26:40,000
Speaker 1: is unfortunate because they represent a lot of people. Here's

468
00:26:40,080 --> 00:26:44,240
Speaker 1: Nicole Wallace over at MSNBC, one of those former Republicans,

469
00:26:44,680 --> 00:26:47,440
Speaker 1: the least trustworthy people when it comes to political analysis.

470
00:26:47,440 --> 00:26:50,600
Speaker 1: You will ever find our former Republicans at places like

471
00:26:50,720 --> 00:26:55,280
Speaker 1: MSNBC and CNN. Here she is telling everybody that the

472
00:26:55,400 --> 00:26:58,440
Speaker 1: real answers just don't even talk about the Hunter Biden scandals.

473
00:26:58,480 --> 00:27:01,320
Speaker 1: It's not like he's the president. Play for Hunter Biden

474
00:27:01,440 --> 00:27:04,400
Speaker 1: is of singular obsessive. I mean, other than the big

475
00:27:04,440 --> 00:27:06,840
Speaker 1: lie about losing in twenty twenty. I don't know if

476
00:27:06,840 --> 00:27:10,320
Speaker 1: there's anything more obsessive for Trump. I think that if

477
00:27:10,359 --> 00:27:13,320
Speaker 1: people are being honest, not many people aren't touched by

478
00:27:13,480 --> 00:27:15,760
Speaker 1: or not many people don't have some window into the

479
00:27:15,920 --> 00:27:18,840
Speaker 1: disease of addiction, which has afflicted Hunter Biden at various

480
00:27:18,840 --> 00:27:22,280
Speaker 1: points in his life. Most people understand a president's kids

481
00:27:22,320 --> 00:27:25,400
Speaker 1: are they're not a president. They haven't stepped into the arena.

482
00:27:25,520 --> 00:27:27,840
Speaker 1: And as I said, there is a massive, years long

483
00:27:27,920 --> 00:27:31,520
Speaker 1: federal investigation into whether any climbs have been committed by

484
00:27:31,600 --> 00:27:35,480
Speaker 1: Hunter Biden. Now that's a more. I think that's a

485
00:27:35,600 --> 00:27:40,400
Speaker 1: better tactic here than what we just heard from Donna Edwards,

486
00:27:40,560 --> 00:27:43,040
Speaker 1: who was formerly a member of Congress from Maryland, which

487
00:27:43,119 --> 00:27:45,840
Speaker 1: was just there is the problem with Hunter Biden's side

488
00:27:45,920 --> 00:27:47,600
Speaker 1: is there is no side really, And I think that

489
00:27:47,600 --> 00:27:50,080
Speaker 1: the issue here when we look for why doesn't this

490
00:27:50,160 --> 00:27:53,359
Speaker 1: make sense, we've actually found the answer, Clay, it doesn't

491
00:27:53,359 --> 00:27:56,479
Speaker 1: make sense as in the White House is like, what

492
00:27:56,600 --> 00:27:59,040
Speaker 1: is this idiot doing when they're looking at one Hunters

493
00:27:59,280 --> 00:28:01,000
Speaker 1: taking these lawyers now and saying is going to go

494
00:28:01,040 --> 00:28:03,960
Speaker 1: an offense? But even Nicole Wallace here it's so disingenuous.

495
00:28:04,119 --> 00:28:07,560
Speaker 1: We know that a president's kids haven't stepped into the arena. No,

496
00:28:07,960 --> 00:28:12,080
Speaker 1: your fifty year old son who's getting millions of dollars

497
00:28:12,160 --> 00:28:14,680
Speaker 1: under the promise that he's going to get special access

498
00:28:14,680 --> 00:28:17,880
Speaker 1: and maybe even favors from his vice president then President Dad,

499
00:28:18,680 --> 00:28:20,840
Speaker 1: that person is fair game for the press and for

500
00:28:20,880 --> 00:28:24,240
Speaker 1: the interests of the American people. That's reality. Well, especially

501
00:28:24,240 --> 00:28:27,320
Speaker 1: in the wake of the way the Trump family was covered, right,

502
00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:30,639
Speaker 1: they were aggressively raked over the coals. And again, the

503
00:28:30,720 --> 00:28:34,760
Speaker 1: easiest argument you can make about what media bias looks

504
00:28:34,800 --> 00:28:38,360
Speaker 1: like is how Hunter Biden has been treated compared to

505
00:28:38,400 --> 00:28:43,080
Speaker 1: how any Trump's son would have been treated in similar circumstances.

506
00:28:43,080 --> 00:28:44,800
Speaker 1: And Buck, I want to play this by the way,

507
00:28:44,880 --> 00:28:46,760
Speaker 1: because we went to break. I teased it, and we

508
00:28:46,760 --> 00:28:48,680
Speaker 1: can react to it a little bit when we come back.

509
00:28:49,120 --> 00:28:52,640
Speaker 1: But one of the biggest debates out there, I would say,

510
00:28:52,960 --> 00:28:56,160
Speaker 1: and this debate is going to continue throughout twenty twenty three,

511
00:28:56,600 --> 00:29:00,280
Speaker 1: is Trump is running for the Republican presidential nomine in

512
00:29:00,360 --> 00:29:05,680
Speaker 1: twenty twenty four. I've just settled completely underway. How many

513
00:29:05,680 --> 00:29:07,959
Speaker 1: people are going to run against him? Were not clear

514
00:29:08,120 --> 00:29:11,920
Speaker 1: about that, But what if somebody other than Trump ended

515
00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:15,160
Speaker 1: up as the nominee in twenty four The fear out

516
00:29:15,200 --> 00:29:18,800
Speaker 1: there is Trump himself might decide to run as a

517
00:29:18,880 --> 00:29:21,800
Speaker 1: third party, And that, frankly, was a fear going back

518
00:29:21,800 --> 00:29:24,640
Speaker 1: in twenty sixteen as well, when in one of the

519
00:29:24,680 --> 00:29:28,840
Speaker 1: first primary debates, Trump refused to raise his hand on

520
00:29:28,880 --> 00:29:30,840
Speaker 1: the stage and say that he would support whoever the

521
00:29:30,880 --> 00:29:32,960
Speaker 1: Republican nominee was. I think he was the only one

522
00:29:32,960 --> 00:29:34,640
Speaker 1: out of ten that didn't do it, if I remember

523
00:29:34,640 --> 00:29:39,200
Speaker 1: that correctly. He was on Hugh Hewitt's show yesterday and

524
00:29:39,280 --> 00:29:42,720
Speaker 1: he was asked that specific question what if someone else

525
00:29:42,800 --> 00:29:46,760
Speaker 1: were the nominee, would he support that nominee or might

526
00:29:46,800 --> 00:29:48,720
Speaker 1: he run as a third party. Here's what he said,

527
00:29:48,840 --> 00:29:51,520
Speaker 1: It would depend I would give you the same answer

528
00:29:51,560 --> 00:29:54,200
Speaker 1: I gave in twenty sixteen during the debate, the first

529
00:29:54,280 --> 00:29:57,760
Speaker 1: question I was asked. I was asked two rather interesting questions.

530
00:29:58,080 --> 00:30:01,320
Speaker 1: It would have to depend on who the nominee. So

531
00:30:02,880 --> 00:30:05,440
Speaker 1: this is the fear right because we sort of can

532
00:30:05,480 --> 00:30:09,200
Speaker 1: project ahead if Desanti's announces in June or so as

533
00:30:09,240 --> 00:30:12,200
Speaker 1: the expectation is that he will do and he and

534
00:30:12,280 --> 00:30:14,080
Speaker 1: Trump are at the top of the ticket. But let's

535
00:30:14,080 --> 00:30:16,840
Speaker 1: say Nicky Hayley or Mike Pompeo or Mike Pence or

536
00:30:16,880 --> 00:30:20,160
Speaker 1: somebody else caught fire and ended up as the nominee

537
00:30:20,200 --> 00:30:23,400
Speaker 1: instead of Trump. The fear out there is that Trump

538
00:30:23,480 --> 00:30:26,160
Speaker 1: would launch a third party candidacy and basically hand the

539
00:30:26,160 --> 00:30:28,840
Speaker 1: White House to whomever Democrats put forward in twenty four

540
00:30:29,280 --> 00:30:33,240
Speaker 1: Certainly it is the Trump's advantage in a primary for

541
00:30:33,320 --> 00:30:36,920
Speaker 1: there to be well, I think it's to his advantage. Actually,

542
00:30:36,920 --> 00:30:39,160
Speaker 1: it depends on how this plays out for people to

543
00:30:39,600 --> 00:30:42,920
Speaker 1: believe that's a possibility, because then they may say it's

544
00:30:42,960 --> 00:30:46,200
Speaker 1: either Trump or nothing. The Trump or nothing mentality is

545
00:30:46,200 --> 00:30:51,160
Speaker 1: supported by the possibility of Trump going and being a

546
00:30:51,200 --> 00:30:55,120
Speaker 1: third party candidate. But I still hold firm to what

547
00:30:55,200 --> 00:30:57,800
Speaker 1: I said, which is that when push comes to shove,

548
00:30:58,440 --> 00:31:03,840
Speaker 1: I don't believe that Donald Trump would hobble the Republican

549
00:31:03,880 --> 00:31:07,920
Speaker 1: Party in that way and hand it over to Joe Biden,

550
00:31:08,080 --> 00:31:10,479
Speaker 1: which is clearly what would happen with a third party,

551
00:31:11,360 --> 00:31:13,640
Speaker 1: third party president. So so I don't think he would

552
00:31:13,680 --> 00:31:15,520
Speaker 1: do it, but I understand why he wants people to

553
00:31:15,520 --> 00:31:16,720
Speaker 1: think he would do it, you know what I mean,

554
00:31:17,040 --> 00:31:20,200
Speaker 1: there's the perception aspect of it. Yeah, I think this

555
00:31:20,280 --> 00:31:24,080
Speaker 1: is another miscalculation by Trump. I think he should say, look,

556
00:31:24,120 --> 00:31:26,600
Speaker 1: I'm going to be the nominee, I'm the best candidate,

557
00:31:27,120 --> 00:31:29,800
Speaker 1: but if people decide that I'm not the best candidate,

558
00:31:29,840 --> 00:31:33,400
Speaker 1: I'll support the Republican Yeah, of course, I think that's

559
00:31:33,440 --> 00:31:36,240
Speaker 1: what he should say if he were going to get

560
00:31:36,280 --> 00:31:38,240
Speaker 1: the full benefit. I'll explain this a little bit more

561
00:31:38,240 --> 00:31:40,400
Speaker 1: because when we come back, because I think it ties

562
00:31:40,440 --> 00:31:42,920
Speaker 1: in with his attack on De Santis in general. In

563
00:31:43,040 --> 00:31:46,480
Speaker 1: twenty fifteen, when Trump said I can't promise you that

564
00:31:46,560 --> 00:31:49,520
Speaker 1: I won't run as a third party, he hadn't become

565
00:31:49,560 --> 00:31:52,880
Speaker 1: the Republican standard bearer. I totally understand that argument at

566
00:31:52,920 --> 00:31:55,240
Speaker 1: that point, because if he loses, he may think that

567
00:31:55,320 --> 00:31:58,000
Speaker 1: his issues aren't being addressed. Now that's not the case.

568
00:31:58,160 --> 00:32:01,400
Speaker 1: That's important because he can think that he's not running

569
00:32:01,440 --> 00:32:04,160
Speaker 1: as an outsider anymore. Right now. I don't care anybody

570
00:32:04,160 --> 00:32:06,520
Speaker 1: says about Oh, but but as his ideas and his

571
00:32:06,600 --> 00:32:09,560
Speaker 1: poll he's the former president of the United States. You're

572
00:32:09,600 --> 00:32:14,440
Speaker 1: you're no longer an outsider to the to the electorate,

573
00:32:14,840 --> 00:32:16,920
Speaker 1: and you're you're You're not some guy who's coming out

574
00:32:16,920 --> 00:32:19,160
Speaker 1: of nowhere. We've been president. You're the opposite of an

575
00:32:19,160 --> 00:32:23,680
Speaker 1: outsider in that respect. So I think I think he

576
00:32:23,720 --> 00:32:27,920
Speaker 1: should take the approach of somebody who is, you know,

577
00:32:28,000 --> 00:32:30,800
Speaker 1: the de facto nominee. Already, Guys, I'm here to lead

578
00:32:30,840 --> 00:32:33,280
Speaker 1: the party. I'm the choice. We all know it. Let's

579
00:32:33,280 --> 00:32:35,240
Speaker 1: go forward with it. I mean, if I were advising him,

580
00:32:35,240 --> 00:32:38,600
Speaker 1: that would be but to be um a little magnanimous

581
00:32:38,800 --> 00:32:41,120
Speaker 1: as he goes along, too, whether it's dealing with the

582
00:32:41,120 --> 00:32:43,800
Speaker 1: Scantists or others. I think I think being a brawler

583
00:32:43,840 --> 00:32:47,120
Speaker 1: among Republicans right now is not to take all that

584
00:32:47,160 --> 00:32:49,360
Speaker 1: ire and focusing on the Democrats. It should not be

585
00:32:49,400 --> 00:32:53,240
Speaker 1: within the same same party. It's so I agree completely.

586
00:32:53,280 --> 00:32:56,240
Speaker 1: In sixteen he had to prove that he was capable

587
00:32:56,320 --> 00:32:59,080
Speaker 1: of being the man. He's already been the man. Now

588
00:32:59,120 --> 00:33:01,840
Speaker 1: he needs to be a of the framore as an

589
00:33:01,840 --> 00:33:05,040
Speaker 1: elder statesman to the extent that he can. And I

590
00:33:05,120 --> 00:33:07,520
Speaker 1: just think he's making some strategic errors in the way

591
00:33:07,520 --> 00:33:09,280
Speaker 1: that he's running this campaign right now, and I think

592
00:33:09,320 --> 00:33:12,040
Speaker 1: that answer was one as well. Irs to find small

593
00:33:12,080 --> 00:33:15,440

594

Speaker 1: through COVID, you could be eligible to receive a payroll

00:34:14,520 --> 00:34:17,359
Speaker 1: it's Jesse. I just want to congratulate you on your

612
00:34:17,480 --> 00:34:19,880
Speaker 1: nuptials and give you a little piece of advice that

613
00:34:19,920 --> 00:34:23,239
Speaker 1: has helped me throughout my marriage. One thing women love

614
00:34:23,360 --> 00:34:26,759
Speaker 1: is when they're upset, tell them to calm down. It's

615
00:34:26,800 --> 00:34:29,319
Speaker 1: like a horse. It just soothes them and then they're

616
00:34:29,320 --> 00:34:32,040
Speaker 1: putty in your hands. Use this, it'll serve you will.

617
00:34:33,160 --> 00:34:37,000
Speaker 1: So thank you, Jesse. Kelly wisdom from on high all

618
00:34:37,160 --> 00:34:39,400
Speaker 1: you know, eight feet up in the air there From Jesse,

619
00:34:40,560 --> 00:34:43,640
Speaker 1: I would say one thing that I have picked up

620
00:34:43,640 --> 00:34:46,520
Speaker 1: on both in in my life as as just a

621
00:34:46,600 --> 00:34:49,239
Speaker 1: man interacting with women, and also in a lot of

622
00:34:49,280 --> 00:34:53,759
Speaker 1: the advice is to know the difference between when your

623
00:34:53,920 --> 00:34:56,759
Speaker 1: wife Clay and I want you to tell me this

624
00:34:56,800 --> 00:34:59,360
Speaker 1: is correct, and I know that the true marriage expert

625
00:35:00,040 --> 00:35:02,279
Speaker 1: missus Clay Travis is listening so she can text you

626
00:35:02,320 --> 00:35:05,120
Speaker 1: the correct answer because she could hear this. But whether

627
00:35:05,800 --> 00:35:10,360
Speaker 1: you can discern if when a woman tells you a problem,

628
00:35:10,440 --> 00:35:15,040
Speaker 1: you are just supposed to say, oh, that sucks, man,

629
00:35:15,160 --> 00:35:18,719
Speaker 1: that's that's annoying, or you know, whatever it or hey,

630
00:35:18,760 --> 00:35:22,439
Speaker 1: I have some solutions, including the telling telling you it's

631
00:35:22,480 --> 00:35:26,319
Speaker 1: not that big a deal. We can handle this. Like apparently,

632
00:35:26,360 --> 00:35:30,080
Speaker 1: discerning between those two those two pathways is very important.

633
00:35:30,120 --> 00:35:33,520
Speaker 1: I am told yes, and if you figure out how

634
00:35:33,560 --> 00:35:36,359
Speaker 1: to do that, let me know because you can get

635
00:35:36,400 --> 00:35:41,520
Speaker 1: me tips. Jesse's advice is really funny. Um, but uh

636
00:35:41,680 --> 00:35:48,960
Speaker 1: but yeah, you're right. Uh. So much of this is

637
00:35:48,960 --> 00:35:53,880
Speaker 1: not speaking specifically to my marriage. So much of women

638
00:35:54,560 --> 00:35:58,319
Speaker 1: is wanting you to think the things that they want

639
00:35:58,360 --> 00:36:03,759
Speaker 1: you to think. But then also recognizing that that is

640
00:36:03,800 --> 00:36:07,840
Speaker 1: impossible for you to do is a big part, because there,

641
00:36:07,880 --> 00:36:11,120
Speaker 1: I guarantee you every single husband listening to me right

642
00:36:11,160 --> 00:36:16,160
Speaker 1: now has oftentimes made decisions that are the opposite of

643
00:36:16,200 --> 00:36:19,399
Speaker 1: what he would do because he's trying to think what

644
00:36:19,480 --> 00:36:23,040
Speaker 1: his wife would do in that situation. Right. I can't

645
00:36:23,080 --> 00:36:26,279
Speaker 1: tell you the number of times I have had a

646
00:36:26,360 --> 00:36:31,120
Speaker 1: decision to make oftentimes involving children, and I don't even think, Okay,

647
00:36:31,160 --> 00:36:33,920
Speaker 1: how would I solve this? I just immediately cast that

648
00:36:34,000 --> 00:36:40,319
Speaker 1: aside and don't even contemplate it all, and then try

649
00:36:40,360 --> 00:36:44,600
Speaker 1: to put myself into her head and solve the issue

650
00:36:44,640 --> 00:36:47,520
Speaker 1: as she would solve it. Meaning I'm making choices that

651
00:36:47,560 --> 00:36:52,160
Speaker 1: are completely not mine and still oftentimes get it wrong right.

652
00:36:52,200 --> 00:36:55,759
Speaker 1: So that is the challenge. The other thing that you

653
00:36:55,840 --> 00:37:00,480
Speaker 1: will get used to is when she said are you

654
00:37:00,560 --> 00:37:04,160
Speaker 1: going to wear that? The answer is generally not yes.

655
00:37:06,000 --> 00:37:07,560
Speaker 1: The number of men out there that know what I'm

656
00:37:07,560 --> 00:37:11,520
Speaker 1: talking about. You walk out, you know you you are dressed,

657
00:37:11,640 --> 00:37:14,640
Speaker 1: You think that you are ready to go, and your

658
00:37:14,680 --> 00:37:17,799
Speaker 1: wife says, are you going to wear that? She's not

659
00:37:17,880 --> 00:37:20,640
Speaker 1: actually asking if you're going to wear that, She's telling

660
00:37:20,680 --> 00:37:23,520
Speaker 1: you you should be changing what you are wearing. Just

661
00:37:23,560 --> 00:37:26,440
Speaker 1: turn around and go right back into the closet and

662
00:37:26,520 --> 00:37:29,759
Speaker 1: put something new on because of late Buck. Maybe that's

663
00:37:29,800 --> 00:37:33,319
Speaker 1: just me. I wear those Tommy John pants that we

664
00:37:33,400 --> 00:37:38,400
Speaker 1: got like to every event that I possibly can. Have

665
00:37:38,480 --> 00:37:42,520
Speaker 1: you noticed these these these men's pants that they're My

666
00:37:42,560 --> 00:37:44,880
Speaker 1: wife calls them like the equivalent of the yoga pants

667
00:37:44,920 --> 00:37:49,080
Speaker 1: for men. They're not tight like the like the pants

668
00:37:49,080 --> 00:37:51,799
Speaker 1: are yoga pants are on women, but they have like

669
00:37:51,880 --> 00:37:54,920
Speaker 1: the you wear them all the time toomance performance. I

670
00:37:54,960 --> 00:37:58,520
Speaker 1: only wear performance fabric, not that I'm a physical performer,

671
00:37:58,680 --> 00:38:01,520
Speaker 1: but yeah, I would say that they are like um

672
00:38:01,600 --> 00:38:04,879
Speaker 1: athletic sweatpants is a way to describe them out there.

673
00:38:04,960 --> 00:38:08,360
Speaker 1: They basically like they have a little bit of a tyche.

674
00:38:08,920 --> 00:38:11,800
Speaker 1: It's got some it's got some synthetic. It's a synthetic

675
00:38:11,840 --> 00:38:13,799
Speaker 1: material mixed in with the cotton or the wool. And

676
00:38:13,840 --> 00:38:16,279
Speaker 1: they're usually tied around the ankles. For people out there

677
00:38:16,280 --> 00:38:18,239
Speaker 1: who may not know what I'm talking about, I'm gonna

678
00:38:18,239 --> 00:38:21,360
Speaker 1: wear those pants, I think, exclusively to everything, almost for

679
00:38:21,360 --> 00:38:24,120
Speaker 1: the rest of my life. Like I don't want to

680
00:38:24,160 --> 00:38:27,000
Speaker 1: go full Fetterman here, but I don't know why anybody

681
00:38:27,000 --> 00:38:29,920
Speaker 1: would wear these pants if they if they have the opportunity.

682
00:38:29,920 --> 00:38:31,359
Speaker 1: If you're a man and you're not wearing these pants,

683
00:38:31,360 --> 00:38:32,680
Speaker 1: I don't know what you're doing with your life. I mean,

684
00:38:32,719 --> 00:38:35,799
Speaker 1: some people are gonna gonna think that this is a

685
00:38:35,800 --> 00:38:37,960
Speaker 1: little too a little too out there and on the edge.

686
00:38:38,200 --> 00:38:40,640
Speaker 1: I'm not wearing a tie to my wedding. I'm wearing

687
00:38:40,840 --> 00:38:42,759
Speaker 1: I'm wearing a play a suit and a and a

688
00:38:42,800 --> 00:38:45,200
Speaker 1: button down and you know, dress shoes. I'm not wearing

689
00:38:45,239 --> 00:38:47,680
Speaker 1: a tie. Why don't want to wear a tie? Tie

690
00:38:47,680 --> 00:38:50,319
Speaker 1: is uncomfortable? You are really anti tie? What about a boat?

691
00:38:50,440 --> 00:38:53,359
Speaker 1: I'm very I'm very anti tie. Also because I think

692
00:38:53,400 --> 00:38:55,960
Speaker 1: I associate the tie because I went to school for

693
00:38:56,000 --> 00:38:57,800
Speaker 1: ten years, a Catholic school in New York where you

694
00:38:57,880 --> 00:39:00,319
Speaker 1: had to wear jacket and tie and they would even

695
00:39:00,400 --> 00:39:02,480
Speaker 1: let you unbuttoned the top button under it. That was

696
00:39:02,520 --> 00:39:06,239
Speaker 1: like a demerit. You'd get into trouble. And then later

697
00:39:06,320 --> 00:39:08,680
Speaker 1: on in life. Actually in the CIA, our office was

698
00:39:08,800 --> 00:39:12,400
Speaker 1: jacket and tie for a while, the Iraq office, so people,

699
00:39:12,920 --> 00:39:16,160
Speaker 1: if I remember correctly, so I remember wearing certainly for

700
00:39:16,200 --> 00:39:18,240
Speaker 1: briefings and things, we had to wear a suit and tie.

701
00:39:19,120 --> 00:39:22,920
Speaker 1: And I just I viewed the tie as as the man,

702
00:39:23,000 --> 00:39:25,399
Speaker 1: some kind of the man coming down on you. Yeah,

703
00:39:25,400 --> 00:39:27,440
Speaker 1: it's the man. It's the man grabbing my throat, not

704
00:39:27,520 --> 00:39:29,720
Speaker 1: letting me breathe freely. It's almost like, how have you masks?

705
00:39:29,880 --> 00:39:31,919
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna Maybe that's why I hated masks so much.

706
00:39:32,880 --> 00:39:36,200
Speaker 1: Speaking of hating, do we have the picture up of

707
00:39:36,239 --> 00:39:40,440
Speaker 1: me at the at my wedding? Wow, by the way, everybody,

708
00:39:41,120 --> 00:39:44,160
Speaker 1: you have got to see it isn't amazing. I don't

709
00:39:44,160 --> 00:39:46,080
Speaker 1: even know all the details. It is an amazing love

710
00:39:46,160 --> 00:39:49,399
Speaker 1: story between Clay and his wife because she went through

711
00:39:49,440 --> 00:39:51,480
Speaker 1: with the wedding, and obviously they've been happily married now

712
00:39:51,520 --> 00:39:53,640
Speaker 1: for twenty plus years or three kids. She went through

713
00:39:53,640 --> 00:39:56,799
Speaker 1: with the wedding despite the haircut that Clay had, which

714
00:39:56,800 --> 00:39:59,919
Speaker 1: I've got to tell you it was a doozy. It's

715
00:40:00,200 --> 00:40:02,799
Speaker 1: it is really an atrocious haircut to have gotten right

716
00:40:02,840 --> 00:40:05,920
Speaker 1: before the wedding. And and immediately when I mentioned that,

717
00:40:06,000 --> 00:40:09,719
Speaker 1: Ali was like, oh, we've got to see it. We

718
00:40:09,800 --> 00:40:12,759
Speaker 1: have an important caller right now. I'm not sure who

719
00:40:12,840 --> 00:40:19,320
Speaker 1: this is. Who's on the line with us? Hello? Hello, Yes, hey,

720
00:40:19,320 --> 00:40:24,120
Speaker 1: fuck Joe. How are you doing? Oh hi Joe, this

721
00:40:24,200 --> 00:40:26,799
Speaker 1: is this your flat, your father in law, future father

722
00:40:26,840 --> 00:40:30,080
Speaker 1: in law? Joe, Yes, sir, how are you? I'm doing well.

723
00:40:30,560 --> 00:40:34,080
Speaker 1: We're just scooting down the turnpike here to coming to

724
00:40:34,120 --> 00:40:38,239
Speaker 1: have some fun, looking forward to it. What do you think?

725
00:40:38,719 --> 00:40:42,480
Speaker 1: What do you think about becoming a your your daughter

726
00:40:42,560 --> 00:40:46,760
Speaker 1: is gonna get married. Are you super nervous about walking

727
00:40:46,800 --> 00:40:49,759
Speaker 1: down the aisle? You've got this has got to be

728
00:40:49,840 --> 00:40:51,719
Speaker 1: kind of a big moment for you emotionally, right, have

729
00:40:51,760 --> 00:40:55,319
Speaker 1: you thought about what that's gonna feel like. I don't

730
00:40:55,320 --> 00:40:58,640
Speaker 1: think nervous, you know. Yeah, there's gonna be a probably

731
00:40:59,200 --> 00:41:02,480
Speaker 1: Um yeah, I mean it'll be great, some exhilaration, Um,

732
00:41:03,040 --> 00:41:06,399
Speaker 1: happy for Carrie and Buck and uh yeah, I don't

733
00:41:06,520 --> 00:41:09,400
Speaker 1: I'm not feeling nervous about it at all. Captain Flatley's

734
00:41:09,400 --> 00:41:11,759
Speaker 1: already he's he's marched one daughter down the aisle, so

735
00:41:11,760 --> 00:41:14,800
Speaker 1: he's got some experience. So, by the way, you were

736
00:41:14,840 --> 00:41:17,479
Speaker 1: you actually are kind of an expert on this. You

737
00:41:17,680 --> 00:41:20,560
Speaker 1: are a pilot, you now are a commercial pilot, but

738
00:41:20,640 --> 00:41:23,719
Speaker 1: before that you were a badass, you know, top gun instructor.

739
00:41:24,040 --> 00:41:26,799
Speaker 1: What do you think about this Chinese spy balloon just

740
00:41:26,920 --> 00:41:30,560
Speaker 1: float across the country right now? And you know, and

741
00:41:30,600 --> 00:41:32,120
Speaker 1: what do you think the guys in the air force,

742
00:41:32,560 --> 00:41:35,960
Speaker 1: in the top gun community you're thinking about this? I

743
00:41:36,120 --> 00:41:38,960
Speaker 1: you know, I really don't know. I think there's uh,

744
00:41:39,360 --> 00:41:40,879
Speaker 1: you know, I was just talking to Bridget as we're

745
00:41:40,920 --> 00:41:44,320
Speaker 1: driving down the road here, thinking well, you know, maybe

746
00:41:44,440 --> 00:41:48,200
Speaker 1: they're just if they're they're data collecting, maybe we're just

747
00:41:48,239 --> 00:41:51,520
Speaker 1: sending them bad data, you know, or just misinforming them

748
00:41:51,600 --> 00:41:54,160
Speaker 1: or something and maybe having fun with them or trying

749
00:41:54,200 --> 00:41:56,799
Speaker 1: to hack in. I don't know, but I don't know

750
00:41:56,840 --> 00:41:58,520
Speaker 1: what to think of it. I'm you know, it seems

751
00:41:58,560 --> 00:42:01,480
Speaker 1: that we should be doing more than sitting on her

752
00:42:02,440 --> 00:42:07,799
Speaker 1: thumbs and letting it go. But maybe they're trying to

753
00:42:07,800 --> 00:42:09,920
Speaker 1: figure out what to do with it. But yeah, to

754
00:42:09,960 --> 00:42:12,120
Speaker 1: be honest, I don't know what to think about it.

755
00:42:12,120 --> 00:42:15,040
Speaker 1: It's uh, it seems strange that we're just letting it

756
00:42:15,080 --> 00:42:18,400
Speaker 1: go on without but they must. We must know something

757
00:42:18,440 --> 00:42:21,000
Speaker 1: and we're doing something about it that they're just not

758
00:42:21,080 --> 00:42:23,719
Speaker 1: telling the public about. I know, if we shoot it up.

759
00:42:23,760 --> 00:42:26,400
Speaker 1: Captain Flatley put him in an F fifteen, if the

760
00:42:26,440 --> 00:42:28,399
Speaker 1: Commander Chief told him too, he'd blow that thing out

761
00:42:28,400 --> 00:42:32,040
Speaker 1: of the sky. But Joe, thank e teens. We'll leave

762
00:42:32,080 --> 00:42:35,239
Speaker 1: those F fifteens and the Air Force. Oh, there we go,

763
00:42:35,400 --> 00:42:38,120
Speaker 1: that's right, F eighteen. M Thank you, though, sir, for

764
00:42:38,360 --> 00:42:41,719
Speaker 1: for letting me marry your daughter. I'm very excited. I

765
00:42:41,840 --> 00:42:45,560
