1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,320
Speaker 1: Welcome to today's edition of the Clay Travis and Buck

2
00:00:03,360 --> 00:00:08,639
Speaker 1: Sexton Show podcast. Welcome in Clay Travis Buck Sexton Show, Friday,

3
00:00:08,760 --> 00:00:11,479
Speaker 1: the thirteenth edition. We may have a little bit of

4
00:00:11,520 --> 00:00:14,320
Speaker 1: fun with that before all is said and done. As

5
00:00:14,360 --> 00:00:18,000
Speaker 1: an old school horror movie fan myself, I'm sure many

6
00:00:18,040 --> 00:00:20,479
Speaker 1: of you out there are as well, I hope that

7
00:00:20,560 --> 00:00:22,920
Speaker 1: this is not a terrifying day. However, for you guys,

8
00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:26,480
Speaker 1: as you get ready to roll into the weekend with

9
00:00:26,600 --> 00:00:30,080
Speaker 1: warm weather everywhere, this is going to feel much like

10
00:00:30,440 --> 00:00:33,800
Speaker 1: summer to a lot of you. My co host Buck

11
00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:37,159
Speaker 1: Sex that is, in Chicago, there was a massive kids

12
00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:42,880
Speaker 1: party in downtown Chicago, perhaps to welcome Buck to Chicago City.

13
00:00:42,920 --> 00:00:45,120
Speaker 1: He'd never been to before. So if you see him

14
00:00:45,120 --> 00:00:48,519
Speaker 1: walking around the streets there with his girlfriend, he is

15
00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:51,320
Speaker 1: likely going to be having a fantastic time. Weather seems

16
00:00:51,360 --> 00:00:52,720
Speaker 1: good there. I asked him if he was going to

17
00:00:52,760 --> 00:00:56,200
Speaker 1: go see a Chicago Cubs game at Wrigley Field, and

18
00:00:56,360 --> 00:00:58,120
Speaker 1: he said he hadn't even thought about it, and I

19
00:00:58,120 --> 00:01:00,520
Speaker 1: at least encouraged him to go check out rig Gleeville,

20
00:01:00,680 --> 00:01:02,760
Speaker 1: which is a phenomenal if you just want to go

21
00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:05,640
Speaker 1: have a few beers and enjoy the fact that baseball

22
00:01:05,720 --> 00:01:08,119
Speaker 1: is going on. But we've got a lot to get

23
00:01:08,160 --> 00:01:11,240
Speaker 1: into throughout the course of today's program, I want to

24
00:01:11,319 --> 00:01:14,119
Speaker 1: let you know where we're headed. Alex Barrenson is going

25
00:01:14,160 --> 00:01:16,920
Speaker 1: to be with us at one o'clock Eastern. One of

26
00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:20,240
Speaker 1: my writers who's been doing a fabulous job, Bobby Barak,

27
00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:23,440
Speaker 1: he writes an OutKick. Encourage you guys to be paying

28
00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:25,680
Speaker 1: attention to his work, and also if you just want

29
00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:29,600
Speaker 1: to bookmark OutKick dot com, it's one of the only

30
00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:33,720
Speaker 1: places that's saying in the world of sports and beyond.

31
00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:37,560
Speaker 1: And then Rand Paul Senator, who has provoked a great

32
00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:41,880
Speaker 1: deal of discussion over his refusal to sign on to

33
00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:46,280
Speaker 1: a forty billion dollar aid package for Ukraine, which, by

34
00:01:46,319 --> 00:01:48,560
Speaker 1: the way, I think we should be complimenting him for

35
00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:51,400
Speaker 1: because all he's asking for is for there to be

36
00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:55,600
Speaker 1: an inspector general connected to that forty billion dollars. And

37
00:01:55,720 --> 00:02:00,320
Speaker 1: given how much of a kleptocracy Ukraine has been and

38
00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:05,000
Speaker 1: our own government's failure oftentimes to track massive amounts of

39
00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:07,040
Speaker 1: money that we are spending, look at what happened with

40
00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:11,520
Speaker 1: the PPP program. But that will be an interesting discussion

41
00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:14,440
Speaker 1: with him. All of that and more coming your direction,

42
00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:19,280
Speaker 1: but I wanted to start with what has become readily apparent,

43
00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:24,600
Speaker 1: the information arbitrage war that is going on every single

44
00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:27,120
Speaker 1: day on Twitter, and there are a couple of breaking

45
00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:30,680
Speaker 1: news stories. Woke up this morning to see that Elon

46
00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:34,840
Speaker 1: Musk is potentially not going to buy Twitter. Although he

47
00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:38,120
Speaker 1: says he remains committed to the purchase of the company,

48
00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:42,160
Speaker 1: he is concerned about how many bots in other words,

49
00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:45,919
Speaker 1: not real accounts there are on Twitter, and he has

50
00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:51,240
Speaker 1: therefore put a pause on his potential purchase of Twitter. Now.

51
00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:54,639
Speaker 1: To be fair, he is saying that he still intends

52
00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:57,560
Speaker 1: to purchase Twitter, but the stock as we are speaking

53
00:02:57,680 --> 00:03:02,400
Speaker 1: right now has dropped nearly nine percent. It's trading at

54
00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:05,959
Speaker 1: forty one dollars and change. The company was supposed to

55
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:09,359
Speaker 1: be sold for fifty four twenty, so there's a massive

56
00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:12,040
Speaker 1: discount going on right now. Now. Some of you out

57
00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:14,480
Speaker 1: there are like, Okay, what could be going on here?

58
00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:18,680
Speaker 1: I think what maybe at play here is Elon Musk

59
00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:23,560
Speaker 1: lowering his potential purchase price for Twitter because he's aware

60
00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:26,560
Speaker 1: that with the massive stock market sell off, we have

61
00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:31,400
Speaker 1: seen trillions of dollars in value erased almost to the

62
00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:35,920
Speaker 1: point where Joe Biden's entire tenure seventeen months now, the

63
00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:39,200
Speaker 1: stock market is not far from going negative over that

64
00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:44,080
Speaker 1: seventeen month period, and so as a result, tech company

65
00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:47,560
Speaker 1: stocks have collapsed. And I happen to think that Elon

66
00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:51,360
Speaker 1: Musk may be thinking to himself, fifty four dollars and

67
00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:54,240
Speaker 1: twenty cents a share is way too much to be paying,

68
00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:57,840
Speaker 1: when if I weren't buying this company, Twitter might be

69
00:03:57,880 --> 00:04:01,080
Speaker 1: twenty five dollars a share, So he could walk away,

70
00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:04,360
Speaker 1: allow the stock price to collapse, and then potentially come

71
00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:07,400
Speaker 1: back and try to make a play for that. But

72
00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:12,080
Speaker 1: this is important, and it is such a win for

73
00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:17,200
Speaker 1: sane people in an insane world if Elon Musk buys Twitter,

74
00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:22,000
Speaker 1: because right now the White House is still using Twitter

75
00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:26,400
Speaker 1: to spread direct wise while accusing people like you and

76
00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:29,719
Speaker 1: me and many of your coworkers who start to raise

77
00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:34,720
Speaker 1: questions about the Biden administration of spreading disinformation. This morning,

78
00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:38,280
Speaker 1: sorry this was yesterday afternoon. The White House tweeted out

79
00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:44,160
Speaker 1: when President Biden took office, millions were unemployed and there

80
00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:49,320
Speaker 1: was no vaccine available. That first sentence is a direct lie.

81
00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:53,480
Speaker 1: In fact, Joe Biden got his COVID shot in December

82
00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:57,840
Speaker 1: of twenty twenty, a full month before he took the

83
00:04:57,880 --> 00:05:01,520
Speaker 1: oath of office. So that sentence from the White House,

84
00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:04,200
Speaker 1: which has been lecturing all of us about the perils

85
00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:08,120
Speaker 1: of disinformation, is a lie. And then the next sentence,

86
00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:12,120
Speaker 1: in the last fifteen months, the economy has created eight

87
00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:16,040
Speaker 1: point three million jobs and the unemployment rate stands at

88
00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:19,760
Speaker 1: three point six percent, the fastest decline in unemployment to

89
00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:25,240
Speaker 1: start a president's term ever recorded. This is direct disinformation.

90
00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:30,560
Speaker 1: This is direct a direct lack of truth as well.

91
00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:34,000
Speaker 1: And so what's at stake here? What is at play?

92
00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:37,479
Speaker 1: The White House is asking for the power to determine

93
00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:41,640
Speaker 1: what is truth and false in social media, in modern

94
00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:46,839
Speaker 1: media today, while using those same platforms to directly spread

95
00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:51,640
Speaker 1: lies and misinformation themselves. Now this is important because there's

96
00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:53,520
Speaker 1: going to be a lot of discussion about this as

97
00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:56,880
Speaker 1: we get closer to the midterms. The Biden administration is

98
00:05:56,920 --> 00:06:00,440
Speaker 1: going to claim that they have created all these millions

99
00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:04,080
Speaker 1: of jobs and that they have created a strong economy.

100
00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:06,880
Speaker 1: We know that's not true because we're all struggling every

101
00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:10,440
Speaker 1: single day with nearly double digit inflation. But when they

102
00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:13,680
Speaker 1: claim that they have created as they did in this tweet,

103
00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:17,360
Speaker 1: eight point three million new jobs, and it's the fastest

104
00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:20,880
Speaker 1: decline in unemployment to start a president's term ever recorded.

105
00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:24,080
Speaker 1: What you need to understand is this, we still have

106
00:06:24,279 --> 00:06:28,839
Speaker 1: not regained all of the jobs that existed in March

107
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:32,800
Speaker 1: of twenty twenty, when we had fifteen days to slow

108
00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:36,600
Speaker 1: the spread. We still have not regained. We're still, i believe,

109
00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:40,719
Speaker 1: over a million jobs behind. We had the greatest economy

110
00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:44,159
Speaker 1: in the history of the United States in February of

111
00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:49,239
Speaker 1: twenty twenty, White, Black, Asian, Hispanic, everybody's overall wages were growing,

112
00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:53,839
Speaker 1: We had hit an unbelievable fifty plus year low in

113
00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:57,279
Speaker 1: the unemployment rate, and we were just starting to hit

114
00:06:57,720 --> 00:07:02,039
Speaker 1: full steam ahead thanks to all of the economic policies

115
00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:04,600
Speaker 1: that Donald Trump and the Republican Party put in place

116
00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:08,240
Speaker 1: to unlock the full growth of our economic potential. And

117
00:07:08,279 --> 00:07:13,120
Speaker 1: then what happened COVID. COVID happens. We make the disastrous

118
00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:16,960
Speaker 1: decision to shut down our economy and start to send

119
00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:22,120
Speaker 1: trillions of dollars into the marketplace. That is only going

120
00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:25,160
Speaker 1: to be exacerbated when Joe Biden becomes president in twenty

121
00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:28,760
Speaker 1: twenty one and immediately adds another one point nine trillion

122
00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:32,400
Speaker 1: in COVID spending that was unnecessary, and immediately adds another

123
00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:35,720
Speaker 1: over one trillion dollars in the infrastructure bill, which you'll

124
00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:41,200
Speaker 1: remember Buck and I saying also further created the apparatus

125
00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:45,240
Speaker 1: here for nearly double digit inflation. And recall that we

126
00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:52,040
Speaker 1: also were absolutely poised for another five plus trillion dollars

127
00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:54,680
Speaker 1: in spending as a part of the Build Back Better Bill.

128
00:07:55,520 --> 00:07:58,720
Speaker 1: If that had ended up happening, then we would be

129
00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:03,080
Speaker 1: well into double digit inflation fifteen twenty percent. Who knows

130
00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:05,640
Speaker 1: where the inflation rate might be if Joe Biden had

131
00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:09,240
Speaker 1: gotten everything you wanted. So I start here talking with

132
00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:13,400
Speaker 1: you about the information wars that are taking place every

133
00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:16,320
Speaker 1: single day, and you guys listening know what I'm talking about.

134
00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:18,720
Speaker 1: Whether or not you feel comfortable being able to share

135
00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:22,680
Speaker 1: your opinion on Facebook or Twitter or Instagram. There are

136
00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:26,720
Speaker 1: people who want to be able to investigate you, to

137
00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:29,720
Speaker 1: pay attention to what you are saying in terms of

138
00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:32,440
Speaker 1: whether they believe it's true or false. And this idiot

139
00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:38,080
Speaker 1: ministry of truth individual Nina Jankowitz, who has been hired

140
00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:42,520
Speaker 1: by the Biden administration to be their Czar of misinformation.

141
00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:46,800
Speaker 1: She now is saying, this is crazy that she wants

142
00:08:46,880 --> 00:08:51,440
Speaker 1: people to be able to edit your own tweets and

143
00:08:51,679 --> 00:08:55,160
Speaker 1: change what is said in those tweets if they decide

144
00:08:55,520 --> 00:09:00,680
Speaker 1: that it is misinformation. Listen to this incredibly eatic idea.

145
00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:06,240
Speaker 1: So verified people can essentially start to edit Twitter the

146
00:09:06,280 --> 00:09:08,400
Speaker 1: same sort of way that Wikipedia is, so they can

147
00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:13,880
Speaker 1: add context to certain tweets. So, just as an easy example,

148
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:17,240
Speaker 1: not from any political standpoint, if President Trump were still

149
00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:20,880
Speaker 1: on Twitter and tweeted a claim about voter fraud, someone

150
00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:26,040
Speaker 1: could add context from one of the sixty lawsuits that

151
00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:29,880
Speaker 1: went through the court, or something that an election official

152
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:33,560
Speaker 1: in one of the states said, perhaps your own secretary

153
00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:37,840
Speaker 1: of State and his news conference is something like that,

154
00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:42,880
Speaker 1: adding context so that people have a fuller picture rather

155
00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:46,520
Speaker 1: than just an individual claim on it a tweet. This

156
00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:50,360
Speaker 1: is madness. First of all, if you disagree with something

157
00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:54,920
Speaker 1: that people tweet, you can dispute it, you can argue

158
00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:58,079
Speaker 1: with it on Facebook, you can respond to a comment

159
00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:02,000
Speaker 1: that you disagree with already and further contextualize what is

160
00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:05,439
Speaker 1: being said. But what's going on here is we got

161
00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:09,000
Speaker 1: a rigged system, and Elon must buying Twitter is a

162
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:12,280
Speaker 1: big part of ending that rig game, because guess what

163
00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:15,559
Speaker 1: hasn't happened at all. It's not uncommon when I share

164
00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:20,360
Speaker 1: a COVID detail, a COVID fact, that there's an appended

165
00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:24,560
Speaker 1: statement underneath it about whether or not they consider it

166
00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:29,160
Speaker 1: to be true or false. The Biden White House Live yesterday,

167
00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:33,040
Speaker 1: this is a direct lie. When President Biden took off

168
00:10:33,080 --> 00:10:36,679
Speaker 1: as millions were unemployed and there was no vaccine available.

169
00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:41,559
Speaker 1: Twitter has not done anything to label that tweet. There's

170
00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:45,160
Speaker 1: no further context provided for this claim that Joe Biden

171
00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:49,160
Speaker 1: has been the most successful economic president ever. That's what

172
00:10:49,240 --> 00:10:52,480
Speaker 1: he's claiming. Yet every single one of you out there

173
00:10:52,760 --> 00:10:56,320
Speaker 1: that is seeing shortages in baby formula, dealing with the

174
00:10:56,400 --> 00:11:00,520
Speaker 1: highest gas prices in United States history, dealing with the

175
00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:05,600
Speaker 1: highest inflation in forty plus years, every single one of

176
00:11:05,640 --> 00:11:09,760
Speaker 1: you knows this is a lie. There is no response

177
00:11:09,880 --> 00:11:16,240
Speaker 1: at all providing further context on these lies. And here

178
00:11:16,559 --> 00:11:21,920
Speaker 1: direct quote. Biden receives the first dose of coronavirus vaccine publicly.

179
00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:26,280
Speaker 1: He got it on December twenty first, twenty twenty. At

180
00:11:26,280 --> 00:11:30,440
Speaker 1: the time that he took office, the Trump administration was

181
00:11:30,520 --> 00:11:35,480
Speaker 1: administering one million COVID shots a day, over a million

182
00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:38,520
Speaker 1: COVID shot today, and for the first several months of

183
00:11:38,559 --> 00:11:42,880
Speaker 1: the Biden White House, they didn't accelerate that rate very

184
00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:47,560
Speaker 1: substantially at all. They were implementing the existing policies and

185
00:11:47,679 --> 00:11:50,800
Speaker 1: procedures that had already been put in place by the

186
00:11:50,880 --> 00:11:54,520
Speaker 1: Trump White House. This is a lie. It's important to

187
00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:58,040
Speaker 1: call out lies, particularly when the people who are lying

188
00:11:58,120 --> 00:12:01,880
Speaker 1: to you are claiming that they are the ones telling

189
00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:04,319
Speaker 1: the truth. That is a straight up nineteen eighty four

190
00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:09,880
Speaker 1: George orwell, big government authoritarian move from the Biden White House.

191
00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:12,080
Speaker 1: Nothing is being said at all. So that is the

192
00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:14,640
Speaker 1: context on what's going on right now with Twitter, the

193
00:12:14,640 --> 00:12:18,840
Speaker 1: battle for truth and for fairness, content neutral policies that

194
00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:21,920
Speaker 1: should hopefully be put in place in the event that

195
00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:25,800
Speaker 1: Elon Musk is able to complete this acquisition of Twitter.

196
00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:29,320
Speaker 1: Now we got a lot to discuss. I will open

Speaker 1: Travis Buck Sexton Show appreciate all of you hanging out

223
00:13:53,760 --> 00:13:57,440
Speaker 1: with us as we continue to fight for sanity in

224
00:13:57,480 --> 00:14:00,839
Speaker 1: an insane world. Speaking of that bat, we are joined

225
00:14:00,840 --> 00:14:05,640
Speaker 1: now by Senator Ran Paul of Kentucky, who is in

226
00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:07,599
Speaker 1: the news right now. We're going to ask him a

227
00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:09,680
Speaker 1: little bit about COVID as well, but in the news

228
00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:13,040
Speaker 1: right now, because Senator, you can explain it to the audience.

229
00:14:13,640 --> 00:14:18,280
Speaker 1: You are simply asking for a Inspector General to be

230
00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:23,360
Speaker 1: able to review how we are spending forty billion dollars

231
00:14:23,680 --> 00:14:28,640
Speaker 1: in aid for Ukraine. That seems like an imminently reasonable request.

232
00:14:29,040 --> 00:14:31,320
Speaker 1: What in the world is going on that is being

233
00:14:31,440 --> 00:14:35,840
Speaker 1: right now? Refused to add that to the building. You know,

234
00:14:35,840 --> 00:14:39,040
Speaker 1: I think it's fiscally or responsible to spend forty billion

235
00:14:39,080 --> 00:14:43,840
Speaker 1: dollars with insufficient oversight. The Afghan War, you know, went

236
00:14:43,880 --> 00:14:46,120
Speaker 1: on for twenty years, started out slow and then went

237
00:14:46,160 --> 00:14:48,680
Speaker 1: on for twenty years. But we do have a special

238
00:14:48,720 --> 00:14:52,640
Speaker 1: Inspector General who's followed this. He's written entire books on

239
00:14:52,680 --> 00:14:55,480
Speaker 1: the waist and much of it has really at least

240
00:14:55,520 --> 00:14:58,040
Speaker 1: slowed down the thieves. I mean, there are thieves everywhere.

241
00:14:58,080 --> 00:15:00,720
Speaker 1: When government's handing out money, the thieves line up as well.

242
00:15:01,240 --> 00:15:02,880
Speaker 1: And if you want to slow them down, you have

243
00:15:02,920 --> 00:15:05,000
Speaker 1: to let them know there's going to be an inspector

244
00:15:05,040 --> 00:15:08,200
Speaker 1: that looks at every dollar that's spent in Afghanistan. We

245
00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:11,120
Speaker 1: would give like ninety million dollars to build a hotel,

246
00:15:11,280 --> 00:15:13,360
Speaker 1: a luxury hotel while we're in that in the first

247
00:15:13,400 --> 00:15:15,880
Speaker 1: place is one question. But then they would build half

248
00:15:15,920 --> 00:15:17,440
Speaker 1: of a hotel or a third of the hotel, and

249
00:15:17,520 --> 00:15:19,960
Speaker 1: the contractor would run off of the money. We found

250
00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:24,800
Speaker 1: out about that because of this special Inspector General for Afghanistan,

251
00:15:24,920 --> 00:15:28,160
Speaker 1: and so we advised that since this guy has a

252
00:15:28,200 --> 00:15:30,600
Speaker 1: great track record and he's still got money in his budget,

253
00:15:30,880 --> 00:15:33,080
Speaker 1: why don't we immediately turn it over to them. They're very,

254
00:15:33,160 --> 00:15:35,720
Speaker 1: very capable. They're already up and running. We don't have

255
00:15:35,760 --> 00:15:38,040
Speaker 1: to wait a year for the president to appoint somebody.

256
00:15:38,240 --> 00:15:40,480
Speaker 1: We just put it into the baibywook of an already

257
00:15:40,480 --> 00:15:45,920
Speaker 1: existing Inspector General. And you know, apparently Republicans and Democrats

258
00:15:45,920 --> 00:15:47,440
Speaker 1: are so eager to send our money to a foreign

259
00:15:47,480 --> 00:15:50,400
Speaker 1: country they don't want to have any sufficient oversight. I

260
00:15:50,480 --> 00:15:53,720
Speaker 1: just I find it impossible to believe that this would

261
00:15:53,760 --> 00:15:56,560
Speaker 1: be remotely controversial given what we just saw. And you

262
00:15:56,560 --> 00:15:59,800
Speaker 1: know a better, naybody, Senator, the wasted money in pp

263
00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:03,400
Speaker 1: P dollars, I mean billions of dollars that we wasted

264
00:16:03,440 --> 00:16:06,840
Speaker 1: trying to run that program. Why would we not use

265
00:16:06,880 --> 00:16:10,120
Speaker 1: an existing infrastructure program that we already have to monitor

266
00:16:10,160 --> 00:16:13,200
Speaker 1: our own government spending and apply it to Ukraine as well?

267
00:16:13,200 --> 00:16:15,680
Speaker 1: What are they trying? Why are they afraid of this?

268
00:16:16,760 --> 00:16:18,840
Speaker 1: They're always more eager to send the money out than

269
00:16:18,880 --> 00:16:20,880
Speaker 1: they are to be responsible with it. And look, this

270
00:16:20,920 --> 00:16:23,640
Speaker 1: is how we got a thirty three into our debt.

271
00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:26,800
Speaker 1: This isn't a Republicans and Democrats don't have a good

272
00:16:26,800 --> 00:16:29,160
Speaker 1: track record on spending your money. But this is a

273
00:16:29,200 --> 00:16:32,840
Speaker 1: government that spent one point five million to study of

274
00:16:32,840 --> 00:16:36,400
Speaker 1: taking a selfie of yourself while smiling. If that would

275
00:16:36,440 --> 00:16:38,440
Speaker 1: make you happy if you looked at that selfie later

276
00:16:38,480 --> 00:16:42,880
Speaker 1: on in the day's chalk full of waste? No doubt

277
00:16:43,840 --> 00:16:47,840
Speaker 1: we I obviously totally understand what you're doing here and

278
00:16:47,960 --> 00:16:50,480
Speaker 1: support it, and a lot of our listeners do as well.

279
00:16:51,040 --> 00:16:55,200
Speaker 1: You're being criticized, which is the normal routine now anytime

280
00:16:55,280 --> 00:16:58,920
Speaker 1: you don't submit to everything that Ukraine wants, you are

281
00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:02,200
Speaker 1: pro Russia. How would you respond to the argument out

282
00:17:02,200 --> 00:17:04,040
Speaker 1: there that is being made by some of the left

283
00:17:04,080 --> 00:17:07,280
Speaker 1: wing wounds that the reason you're doing this is because

284
00:17:07,320 --> 00:17:11,480
Speaker 1: you're being a stooge for Vladimir Putin or for Russia.

285
00:17:11,880 --> 00:17:14,359
Speaker 1: You know, I took an oath of office. My oath

286
00:17:14,440 --> 00:17:16,480
Speaker 1: of allegiance is to the United States and to the

287
00:17:16,560 --> 00:17:21,080
Speaker 1: US Constitution, no other nation, no matter how sympathetic we are.

288
00:17:21,119 --> 00:17:24,400
Speaker 1: I'm sympathetic to Ukraine. I want food and to be defeated.

289
00:17:24,440 --> 00:17:27,520
Speaker 1: I think what you did as an awful aggression. But

290
00:17:27,600 --> 00:17:29,879
Speaker 1: my oath of office is to my country. You know,

291
00:17:29,960 --> 00:17:33,040
Speaker 1: if we bankrupt our country, who's left to help anyone.

292
00:17:33,359 --> 00:17:36,280
Speaker 1: So I'm for selling arms to Ukraine, for sharing things

293
00:17:36,280 --> 00:17:39,920
Speaker 1: with Ukraine. But we gave fourteen billion two weeks ago.

294
00:17:40,560 --> 00:17:43,119
Speaker 1: And the thing is is, once we get to sixty billion,

295
00:17:43,560 --> 00:17:46,200
Speaker 1: it will be more or about the same that Russia

296
00:17:46,280 --> 00:17:49,960
Speaker 1: spends in an entire year plus. But Europe is giving them. So,

297
00:17:50,240 --> 00:17:52,520
Speaker 1: you know, it's sort of the same argument the President

298
00:17:52,560 --> 00:17:55,520
Speaker 1: Trump made. Everybody needs to step up, but the NATO

299
00:17:55,600 --> 00:17:57,359
Speaker 1: allies need to step up, and we don't need to

300
00:17:57,400 --> 00:17:59,320
Speaker 1: be the sugar daddy and the policeman of the world

301
00:17:59,359 --> 00:18:01,960
Speaker 1: that we have to do everything we can help. Sure

302
00:18:02,440 --> 00:18:04,800
Speaker 1: but forty billion dollars will now make it in the

303
00:18:04,880 --> 00:18:07,040
Speaker 1: space of too much. Will have given almost as much

304
00:18:07,040 --> 00:18:10,200
Speaker 1: as Russia spends in a year. And we said, look

305
00:18:10,200 --> 00:18:12,600
Speaker 1: at this in Afghanistan, you realize we were giving them.

306
00:18:12,600 --> 00:18:15,240
Speaker 1: I think it was two hundred and fifty million dollars

307
00:18:15,280 --> 00:18:18,800
Speaker 1: every three months in one hundred dollar bills. I'm not

308
00:18:18,840 --> 00:18:21,720
Speaker 1: making this up. Palettes of one hundred dollar bills were

309
00:18:21,720 --> 00:18:26,400
Speaker 1: airlifted into Afghanistan every three months for twenty years. So yes,

310
00:18:26,480 --> 00:18:29,520
Speaker 1: the American government has a terrible history. And the guy

311
00:18:29,560 --> 00:18:32,400
Speaker 1: that oversaw the waste and told us about the waist

312
00:18:32,480 --> 00:18:36,679
Speaker 1: that happened in Afghanistan, this special inspector is perfectly poised

313
00:18:36,680 --> 00:18:39,399
Speaker 1: to do it, and they don't want him in particular

314
00:18:39,560 --> 00:18:42,199
Speaker 1: because they know he will ferret out the waist and

315
00:18:42,240 --> 00:18:44,800
Speaker 1: he will point out the abuse. We're talking to, Senator

316
00:18:44,920 --> 00:18:47,520
Speaker 1: m Paul. You're also a doctor, and a lot of people,

317
00:18:47,640 --> 00:18:49,800
Speaker 1: certainly we've done it on this show, are pointing out

318
00:18:49,800 --> 00:18:54,720
Speaker 1: the incongruity here, Senator, of sending forty billion dollars to Ukraine,

319
00:18:54,760 --> 00:18:58,000
Speaker 1: while simultaneously many moms and dads are unable to find

320
00:18:58,040 --> 00:19:01,840
Speaker 1: baby formula on the shelves right now, and in fact,

321
00:19:02,080 --> 00:19:04,600
Speaker 1: Jensaki said, hey, what would you tell I'm sure you

322
00:19:04,640 --> 00:19:07,199
Speaker 1: saw this clip. She said, what would you tell? What

323
00:19:07,240 --> 00:19:09,640
Speaker 1: would you have parents do who can't find baby formula?

324
00:19:09,960 --> 00:19:12,679
Speaker 1: She said, I'd have them called their doctors. What in

325
00:19:12,720 --> 00:19:14,840
Speaker 1: the world is going on here that we can spend

326
00:19:14,840 --> 00:19:18,119
Speaker 1: forty billion dollars on Ukraine but we can't get baby

327
00:19:18,160 --> 00:19:21,960
Speaker 1: formula on our shelves in this country. Yeah, it's misplaced priorities.

328
00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:25,840
Speaker 1: You know, he's been about six million on cancer research

329
00:19:26,240 --> 00:19:29,800
Speaker 1: and we're spending forty billion on this. So the thing

330
00:19:29,920 --> 00:19:32,080
Speaker 1: is is money should never be given in one huge

331
00:19:32,119 --> 00:19:35,080
Speaker 1: lump sun without oversight. It's a bad idea. But we

332
00:19:35,119 --> 00:19:37,239
Speaker 1: don't have the money. We will borrow this money from

333
00:19:37,359 --> 00:19:39,679
Speaker 1: China to send it to Ukraine. It's not like we

334
00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:42,159
Speaker 1: have a big vat of money, a big rainy day account.

335
00:19:42,240 --> 00:19:44,359
Speaker 1: We just say, well, you know, we've done very well

336
00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:46,040
Speaker 1: this year. Why don't we send some of it to

337
00:19:46,080 --> 00:19:49,240
Speaker 1: help somebody else fight for democracy. This is equivalent to

338
00:19:49,320 --> 00:19:51,040
Speaker 1: that if you want to help someone in your community

339
00:19:51,040 --> 00:19:52,679
Speaker 1: and you don't have any money, you say, you know what,

340
00:19:52,720 --> 00:19:54,240
Speaker 1: I'll go down to the bank and I'll borrow a

341
00:19:54,280 --> 00:19:56,520
Speaker 1: thousand dollars and I'm gonna give it to the Salvation Army.

342
00:19:56,800 --> 00:19:59,600
Speaker 1: Well it might sound noable, but isn't noble to give

343
00:19:59,640 --> 00:20:02,639
Speaker 1: money money give people money you don't have. We're at

344
00:20:02,720 --> 00:20:05,680
Speaker 1: trillion dollars short every year, and then they started going

345
00:20:05,680 --> 00:20:08,960
Speaker 1: crazy on the COVID bailouts, and we added six trillion

346
00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:11,960
Speaker 1: more in the last two years. We have double digit inflation.

347
00:20:12,520 --> 00:20:15,960
Speaker 1: The lockdown has still so completely screwed up the economy.

348
00:20:16,040 --> 00:20:18,640
Speaker 1: We don't have baby formula. So yes, I think there

349
00:20:18,640 --> 00:20:21,240
Speaker 1: are priorities we can be helpful in the world, but

350
00:20:21,400 --> 00:20:24,080
Speaker 1: we are not the sole repository of all the body

351
00:20:24,119 --> 00:20:26,440
Speaker 1: in the world, and we shouldn't shovel it out so

352
00:20:26,520 --> 00:20:29,520
Speaker 1: fast without oversight that it actually hurts our country. Like

353
00:20:29,600 --> 00:20:33,280
Speaker 1: I said, I'm sympathetic to Ukraine, but my allegiance is

354
00:20:33,320 --> 00:20:35,359
Speaker 1: to my country. I have to make sure that the

355
00:20:35,440 --> 00:20:38,200
Speaker 1: United States is doing okay before we give it away

356
00:20:38,240 --> 00:20:40,920
Speaker 1: the house or give away the farm. Our good friend

357
00:20:40,920 --> 00:20:44,960
Speaker 1: flip Flop Fauci came out Senator and said the pandemics over.

358
00:20:45,480 --> 00:20:47,960
Speaker 1: And then now he's come walked that back and says,

359
00:20:47,960 --> 00:20:49,919
Speaker 1: oh no, the pandemic's not over at all. And the

360
00:20:49,960 --> 00:20:52,040
Speaker 1: Biden White House is now saying we may have one

361
00:20:52,119 --> 00:20:55,080
Speaker 1: hundred million new COVID cases in the fall and the winter.

362
00:20:55,560 --> 00:20:57,800
Speaker 1: Based on your experience as a doctor, how would you

363
00:20:57,840 --> 00:21:00,840
Speaker 1: assess the way that COVID is going right now and

364
00:21:01,080 --> 00:21:04,320
Speaker 1: what should the government be doing, if anything, as we

365
00:21:04,359 --> 00:21:07,640
Speaker 1: get ready for the summer. The first thing that everybody

366
00:21:07,720 --> 00:21:09,920
Speaker 1: needs to know is if you test a thousand people

367
00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:13,800
Speaker 1: randomly anywhere in America, you'll find that ninety seven percent

368
00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:17,199
Speaker 1: or more have immunity. They either got the immunity from

369
00:21:17,240 --> 00:21:19,960
Speaker 1: the vaccine, or they got community from having the disease,

370
00:21:20,119 --> 00:21:23,680
Speaker 1: or both. Seventy five percent of kids under eleven. By

371
00:21:23,680 --> 00:21:25,240
Speaker 1: the fall, it's going to be one hundred percent of

372
00:21:25,280 --> 00:21:27,560
Speaker 1: all the kids under eleven. We'll have had this for

373
00:21:27,640 --> 00:21:30,320
Speaker 1: better or worse. That's with vaccine. Without vaccine, people are

374
00:21:30,320 --> 00:21:32,439
Speaker 1: still going to get it. But the good news is

375
00:21:32,520 --> 00:21:35,040
Speaker 1: almost everybody in our country has some form of immunity,

376
00:21:35,240 --> 00:21:37,040
Speaker 1: So we're going to be okay with this no matter

377
00:21:37,080 --> 00:21:39,720
Speaker 1: what happens. No big predict the exact case, Colt. But

378
00:21:39,760 --> 00:21:41,080
Speaker 1: if you want to know whether or not to pay

379
00:21:41,080 --> 00:21:43,840
Speaker 1: attention to doctor Fauci, I'll tell you this. When the

380
00:21:43,920 --> 00:21:47,640
Speaker 1: court when the US Federal Court struck down the mandate

381
00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:51,200
Speaker 1: on wearing masks on planes. Doctor Fauci said, how dare

382
00:21:51,280 --> 00:21:54,879
Speaker 1: the courts? How dare the Constitution? How dare anybody who bleeds?

383
00:21:54,880 --> 00:21:57,080
Speaker 1: An individual for you didn't say anything about his mandates

384
00:21:57,359 --> 00:22:01,160
Speaker 1: because Bigali, he is science, and how dare the courts?

385
00:22:01,480 --> 00:22:04,200
Speaker 1: That is in arrogance we have never seen in an

386
00:22:04,200 --> 00:22:07,480
Speaker 1: elected official, much less a bureaucrat. He believes that the

387
00:22:07,560 --> 00:22:11,000
Speaker 1: courts and their interpretation of the Constitution have nothing to

388
00:22:11,040 --> 00:22:13,840
Speaker 1: do and should have no oversight on his dictates. That

389
00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:17,440
Speaker 1: is about the most Unamerican policy and proposal and attitude

390
00:22:17,480 --> 00:22:20,439
Speaker 1: I've ever heard of. I appreciate you bringing up the

391
00:22:20,720 --> 00:22:23,120
Speaker 1: airplanes as well there, because the last time we talked

392
00:22:23,160 --> 00:22:25,119
Speaker 1: to you, you were having a press conference at the

393
00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:29,280
Speaker 1: Nashville Airport in favor of the removal of mask mandates.

394
00:22:29,640 --> 00:22:31,720
Speaker 1: Since that has happened, no great surprise to you or

395
00:22:31,760 --> 00:22:33,280
Speaker 1: me or many of our listeners, But I do think

396
00:22:33,320 --> 00:22:37,840
Speaker 1: it's worth mentioning. We haven't seen a massive airline shortage

397
00:22:37,880 --> 00:22:41,720
Speaker 1: based on sickness. There haven't been hardly any cancelations. Overall,

398
00:22:42,119 --> 00:22:45,480
Speaker 1: complaints and issues between passengers and people working on those

399
00:22:45,480 --> 00:22:49,480
Speaker 1: planes have plummeted. How do we keep the mask mandate

400
00:22:49,600 --> 00:22:54,080
Speaker 1: from being returned going forward, and it's night and day

401
00:22:54,240 --> 00:22:56,720
Speaker 1: when you travel on the airport, people are alive again.

402
00:22:56,800 --> 00:22:59,679
Speaker 1: People are friendly. TSA agents are padding me on the

403
00:22:59,680 --> 00:23:02,679
Speaker 1: back and thanking me. The flight attendants are coming up

404
00:23:02,680 --> 00:23:05,600
Speaker 1: and wanting their fishers taken, saying thank you so much

405
00:23:05,640 --> 00:23:08,879
Speaker 1: for getting rid of these ridiculous things. So we have

406
00:23:09,040 --> 00:23:11,719
Speaker 1: to we have to, you know, let people know the numbers.

407
00:23:11,720 --> 00:23:13,880
Speaker 1: But I can tell you this, if the Democrats want

408
00:23:13,880 --> 00:23:16,520
Speaker 1: to get wiped out in November, look at the unofficial

409
00:23:16,560 --> 00:23:19,440
Speaker 1: poll in the airport. Ninety seven percent of the people

410
00:23:19,560 --> 00:23:23,119
Speaker 1: disagree with Fauci or discounting his advice, and their assessment

411
00:23:23,119 --> 00:23:25,439
Speaker 1: of the risk is they don't need the mask. Ninety

412
00:23:25,440 --> 00:23:27,399
Speaker 1: seven percent of the people. If the Democrats want to

413
00:23:27,840 --> 00:23:30,720
Speaker 1: campaign on mandates on Fauci bringing the mandates back on

414
00:23:30,760 --> 00:23:33,760
Speaker 1: the courts bringing it back, they are completely insane and

415
00:23:33,800 --> 00:23:35,560
Speaker 1: they're going to be wiped out in the fall because

416
00:23:36,040 --> 00:23:38,480
Speaker 1: ninety seven percent of travelers don't want to wear a mask.

417
00:23:39,200 --> 00:23:41,920
Speaker 1: Did you win the eighty to one long shot bid

418
00:23:41,920 --> 00:23:43,960
Speaker 1: on the Kentucky Derby this past weekend? Do you have

419
00:23:43,960 --> 00:23:47,560
Speaker 1: any success there? I only wish I saw that horse

420
00:23:47,640 --> 00:23:49,439
Speaker 1: that horse would not get in the gate. He was

421
00:23:49,560 --> 00:23:52,320
Speaker 1: jumping all over the place. I should have been on

422
00:23:52,400 --> 00:23:54,320
Speaker 1: that horse. And then you see wins the race and

423
00:23:54,359 --> 00:23:57,760
Speaker 1: he's still fighting with the other horses. Talking about moxie. Man,

424
00:23:57,920 --> 00:24:00,639
Speaker 1: that horse had some moxie. Now, by the way, that

425
00:24:00,840 --> 00:24:03,360
Speaker 1: on the horse that was trained in Bowling Green where

426
00:24:03,359 --> 00:24:05,840
Speaker 1: I live, and it got second. It was a favorite,

427
00:24:05,840 --> 00:24:08,600
Speaker 1: and I did, of course gwin place and show. So

428
00:24:08,720 --> 00:24:10,560
Speaker 1: I took away less than I put in. But we

429
00:24:10,640 --> 00:24:14,280
Speaker 1: usually consider that sort of a peric victory, no doubt.

430
00:24:14,320 --> 00:24:16,680
Speaker 1: By the way, Bowling Green's a great town in Kentucky

431
00:24:16,720 --> 00:24:19,120
Speaker 1: for people who haven't been there before. It's also Friday

432
00:24:19,160 --> 00:24:23,040
Speaker 1: the thirteenth. And if I'm not mistaken, Howoween the original

433
00:24:23,080 --> 00:24:27,040
Speaker 1: Halloween was set in Bowling Green, Kentucky, wasn't it. You know,

434
00:24:27,119 --> 00:24:29,840
Speaker 1: I'm not positive that there is a connection somehow to

435
00:24:29,920 --> 00:24:32,720
Speaker 1: the producer, but I'm not sure if it was actually

436
00:24:32,760 --> 00:24:34,800
Speaker 1: in film there. But I can tell you for certain,

437
00:24:34,840 --> 00:24:37,240
Speaker 1: we do make the Corvette. We are home of the Corvette.

438
00:24:37,760 --> 00:24:41,120
Speaker 1: That's great. It's a great museum there as well. Appreciate

439
00:24:41,160 --> 00:24:43,439
Speaker 1: the time, Senator, have a fantastic weekend and appreciate all

440
00:24:43,480 --> 00:24:47,080
Speaker 1: the fights you're fighting for us. Thanks guys. That is

441
00:24:47,119 --> 00:24:50,879
Speaker 1: Senator Ran Paul of Kentucky, the man who has a

442
00:24:51,200 --> 00:24:55,119
Speaker 1: crazy idea. If the United States government is going to

443
00:24:55,160 --> 00:25:00,760
Speaker 1: spend forty billion dollars, let's just make sure that it's

444
00:25:00,840 --> 00:25:05,880
Speaker 1: not being wasted. Let's have an inspector general actually review

445
00:25:06,200 --> 00:25:10,080
Speaker 1: the forty billion dollars in expenditures. We know how much money.

446
00:25:10,080 --> 00:25:11,840
Speaker 1: You heard him talking about how much money we wasted

447
00:25:11,880 --> 00:25:15,320
Speaker 1: an Afghanistan until we got an inspector general. You know

448
00:25:15,359 --> 00:25:19,000
Speaker 1: how much money that we wasted with the PPP. As

449
00:25:19,080 --> 00:25:23,360
Speaker 1: much as ten percent of the eight hundred billion dollars

450
00:25:23,359 --> 00:25:27,879
Speaker 1: handed out was stolen. We know that government spends money

451
00:25:27,880 --> 00:25:32,240
Speaker 1: and efficiently. How in the world is it remotely controversial

452
00:25:32,720 --> 00:25:36,160
Speaker 1: to one an inspector general reviewing the money that we

453
00:25:36,200 --> 00:25:39,359
Speaker 1: are spending to make certain that that money is not

454
00:25:39,560 --> 00:25:44,840
Speaker 1: going and being stolen by kleptocrats. In Ukraine, where we

455
00:25:44,920 --> 00:25:49,840
Speaker 1: already know there is a massive issue associated with thievery,

456
00:25:50,680 --> 00:25:53,480
Speaker 1: this seems like the very essence of what a public

457
00:25:53,520 --> 00:25:56,840
Speaker 1: servant should do. Make sure that the money we're spending,

458
00:25:57,040 --> 00:25:59,960
Speaker 1: at a bare minimum, actually goes to what we're trying

459
00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:02,320
Speaker 1: to spend it on. Sure tax dollars, my tax dollars,

460
00:26:02,359 --> 00:26:05,680
Speaker 1: our tax dollars. Thanks to Rampaul, we come back, we'll

461
00:26:05,680 --> 00:26:07,399
Speaker 1: break down because they take your calls by the way

462
00:26:07,400 --> 00:26:10,720
Speaker 1: to one two eight two two eight eight two. But

463
00:26:10,800 --> 00:26:12,440
Speaker 1: a lot of you out there, you're starting your day

464
00:26:12,480 --> 00:26:15,359
Speaker 1: with a hot cup of coffee. Also coming up on

00:27:42,160 --> 00:27:44,840
Speaker 1: On Friday the thirteenth. We bring in one of the

491
00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:47,920
Speaker 1: really talented young writers who is doing good work every

492
00:27:47,960 --> 00:27:51,560
Speaker 1: single day at the website that I sold to Fox

493
00:27:51,880 --> 00:27:54,840
Speaker 1: last year, almost a year to this day, OutKick dot Com.

494
00:27:54,880 --> 00:27:57,360
Speaker 1: I'd encourage you to add it to your repertoire places

495
00:27:57,400 --> 00:28:00,159
Speaker 1: that you go visit if you're looking for sanity in

496
00:28:00,200 --> 00:28:04,080
Speaker 1: an insane world. But Bobby, I want to start with this.

497
00:28:04,160 --> 00:28:06,679
Speaker 1: It's Friday the thirteenth. You haven't been prepped on this.

498
00:28:07,480 --> 00:28:10,199
Speaker 1: Is there a scary movie that to you is the

499
00:28:10,280 --> 00:28:12,720
Speaker 1: greatest of all scary movies, Like if you had to

500
00:28:12,760 --> 00:28:16,000
Speaker 1: watch a scary movie tonight, which one would you pick?

501
00:28:16,040 --> 00:28:21,520
Speaker 1: And why? So? The answer has to be the Shining Clay, right,

502
00:28:21,560 --> 00:28:24,560
Speaker 1: because out of all the goofy characters that we've seen

503
00:28:24,600 --> 00:28:29,320
Speaker 1: in horror movies, nobody's been more authentically terrifying than a

504
00:28:29,440 --> 00:28:32,919
Speaker 1: crazy Jack Nicholson that's stuck in that lodge all winder

505
00:28:33,160 --> 00:28:35,760
Speaker 1: so to me, when he's chasing after his family with

506
00:28:35,880 --> 00:28:38,840
Speaker 1: the acts and stuff, you turn all the lights off.

507
00:28:39,360 --> 00:28:42,240
Speaker 1: Nothing's more terrifying than that. And I say that as

508
00:28:42,320 --> 00:28:46,000
Speaker 1: someone that saw Conjuring opening night in the theaters at

509
00:28:46,040 --> 00:28:48,760
Speaker 1: all the school they am what everybody when everybody started

510
00:28:48,760 --> 00:28:51,400
Speaker 1: clapping when they heard those voices in the basement, that

511
00:28:51,480 --> 00:28:54,480
Speaker 1: was unbelievable. By the way, we're gonna open up phone

512
00:28:54,480 --> 00:28:57,040
Speaker 1: lines in the third hour eight hundred two eight two

513
00:28:57,160 --> 00:28:59,440
Speaker 1: two eight eight two. But if you are a huge

514
00:28:59,560 --> 00:29:02,200
Speaker 1: horror movie fan and you want to weigh in with

515
00:29:02,280 --> 00:29:04,360
Speaker 1: what people should watch tonight, given the fact that it's

516
00:29:04,360 --> 00:29:06,720
Speaker 1: Probay at thirteenth, you can load up the phone lines.

517
00:29:06,720 --> 00:29:08,760
Speaker 1: We'll take some of your calls throughout the course of

518
00:29:08,800 --> 00:29:11,640
Speaker 1: the remainder of the show on that topic, all right, Bobby,

519
00:29:12,120 --> 00:29:15,240
Speaker 1: you do fantastic work for us at OutKick, and I

520
00:29:15,280 --> 00:29:17,960
Speaker 1: couldn't believe that the NBA did this. We talk a

521
00:29:18,000 --> 00:29:22,320
Speaker 1: lot at OutKick about the degree to which sports has

522
00:29:22,360 --> 00:29:27,400
Speaker 1: turned into basically woke sports. It's taken over the universe

523
00:29:27,520 --> 00:29:31,280
Speaker 1: of regular sports fans and they constantly are lecturing us.

524
00:29:31,280 --> 00:29:33,920
Speaker 1: And the worst in terms of lecture, I think, I

525
00:29:33,920 --> 00:29:37,440
Speaker 1: think you'd probably agree is the NBA. And so the

526
00:29:37,520 --> 00:29:39,720
Speaker 1: NBA pulled their All Star game. We got a lot

527
00:29:39,760 --> 00:29:43,080
Speaker 1: of people listening in North Carolina out of Charlotte over

528
00:29:43,160 --> 00:29:48,080
Speaker 1: a transgender bathroom bill. And then they end up now

529
00:29:48,960 --> 00:29:52,840
Speaker 1: going to the United Arab Emirates, which if you are

530
00:29:53,000 --> 00:29:56,640
Speaker 1: gay you can be put to death there, and it

531
00:29:56,680 --> 00:29:59,480
Speaker 1: feels like OutKick and to a certain extent, Fox News,

532
00:29:59,520 --> 00:30:02,160
Speaker 1: which bill on a lot of Outkicks work, are some

533
00:30:02,240 --> 00:30:05,720
Speaker 1: of the only outlets even discussing this. How crazy is

534
00:30:05,720 --> 00:30:10,360
Speaker 1: the hypocrisy? Yeah, and there's no other league that gets

535
00:30:10,400 --> 00:30:14,560
Speaker 1: protected by the sports media like the NBA. Is I mean,

536
00:30:14,680 --> 00:30:18,000
Speaker 1: this music going on for years right now. The fear

537
00:30:18,120 --> 00:30:22,560
Speaker 1: that broadcasters from an ESPAD and The Ringer and CBS

538
00:30:22,640 --> 00:30:25,480
Speaker 1: and New York Times have calling out the NBA is

539
00:30:25,560 --> 00:30:28,640
Speaker 1: really second to none. And what I find so fascinating

540
00:30:28,680 --> 00:30:32,520
Speaker 1: about this is Clay. The NBA just turned the corner

541
00:30:32,560 --> 00:30:35,680
Speaker 1: for the first time in four years by moving out

542
00:30:35,720 --> 00:30:39,080
Speaker 1: of politics, by focusing just on the games. And what

543
00:30:39,160 --> 00:30:43,120
Speaker 1: do you know, their weeks reaching near record highs, highest

544
00:30:43,160 --> 00:30:47,080
Speaker 1: opening first round since twenty fourteen and first coome a context.

545
00:30:47,240 --> 00:30:51,280
Speaker 1: The NBA ratings plummeted to all time lows. When they

546
00:30:51,320 --> 00:30:54,640
Speaker 1: really embrace the quote unquote racial record in the country,

547
00:30:54,760 --> 00:30:57,440
Speaker 1: they put Black Lives Matter across the court. I mean,

548
00:30:57,480 --> 00:31:01,840
Speaker 1: the MBA lost almost forty eight percent of their audience

549
00:31:01,880 --> 00:31:05,640
Speaker 1: would they embrace social justice messaging, and it took them

550
00:31:05,720 --> 00:31:07,760
Speaker 1: three years to get it back. So all of a

551
00:31:07,760 --> 00:31:11,160
Speaker 1: sudden they're just now focusing back on the game and

552
00:31:11,280 --> 00:31:13,720
Speaker 1: people love it. Now they make a statement like this,

553
00:31:14,120 --> 00:31:17,000
Speaker 1: they're in jeparty, I think again, of losing some of

554
00:31:17,000 --> 00:31:21,040
Speaker 1: their more moderate political audience, which is just insane business

555
00:31:21,040 --> 00:31:27,680
Speaker 1: decision now. Also, Phil Mickelson got destroyed to such an extent.

556
00:31:27,760 --> 00:31:30,400
Speaker 1: Golfer out there, who a lot of people listening to

557
00:31:30,440 --> 00:31:33,400
Speaker 1: us right now play golf. I know. Phil Mickelson got

558
00:31:33,440 --> 00:31:37,480
Speaker 1: destroyed for negotiating with Saudi Arabia about a new golf

559
00:31:37,560 --> 00:31:41,440
Speaker 1: league effectively and he didn't even agree to it, He

560
00:31:41,480 --> 00:31:44,840
Speaker 1: certainly didn't sign on to do it. Yet the NBA

561
00:31:44,880 --> 00:31:49,560
Speaker 1: criticism is minor relatively speaking. How can you justify Phil

562
00:31:49,600 --> 00:31:52,960
Speaker 1: Mickelson getting crushed like he did for negotiating with Saudi

563
00:31:53,000 --> 00:31:56,040
Speaker 1: Arabia compared to the NBA getting a pass with United

564
00:31:56,080 --> 00:31:59,640
Speaker 1: Arab Emirates, Well, you can. That just goes back to

565
00:31:59,720 --> 00:32:03,080
Speaker 1: that who is playing about how the media protects the NBA,

566
00:32:03,200 --> 00:32:05,880
Speaker 1: particularly the sports media, because you know, you and I

567
00:32:05,920 --> 00:32:08,400
Speaker 1: are some of the only people that have really called

568
00:32:08,440 --> 00:32:11,440
Speaker 1: out Lebron James hypocrisy and some of the other NBA

569
00:32:11,520 --> 00:32:15,160
Speaker 1: players right away. Every time we do this, somebody from

570
00:32:15,200 --> 00:32:18,520
Speaker 1: like the Athletic or The Atlantic comes after us saying, oh, well,

571
00:32:18,560 --> 00:32:21,040
Speaker 1: you guys don't like because the NBA players stuck out

572
00:32:21,080 --> 00:32:24,040
Speaker 1: for you know, black riots and racial injustice and all

573
00:32:24,040 --> 00:32:26,560
Speaker 1: that stuff. You get none of that when you criticize

574
00:32:26,560 --> 00:32:30,120
Speaker 1: Phil Mickelson. So it doesn't surprise me that top shows

575
00:32:30,120 --> 00:32:34,560
Speaker 1: like Pardon Interruption will lead an entire day condemning Phil

576
00:32:34,640 --> 00:32:37,920
Speaker 1: Mickelson for thinking about going to Saudi Arabia, but not

577
00:32:38,120 --> 00:32:42,520
Speaker 1: mention this because there's no pushback by going after Phil Mickelson,

578
00:32:42,600 --> 00:32:45,360
Speaker 1: an old white male golfer. But going after some of

579
00:32:45,400 --> 00:32:48,719
Speaker 1: these NBA players who are so active and popular on Twitter,

580
00:32:48,920 --> 00:32:52,360
Speaker 1: that comes with another degree of backlash that quite frankly,

581
00:32:52,600 --> 00:32:56,360
Speaker 1: most journalists and TV anchors don't have the backbone to withstand.

582
00:32:57,160 --> 00:33:01,120
Speaker 1: Speaking of journalists and TV anchors, ESPN, I still think

583
00:33:01,120 --> 00:33:02,600
Speaker 1: this is shocking. And we're talking, by the way, with

584
00:33:02,640 --> 00:33:05,480
Speaker 1: Bobby Barak. He does fantastic work at OutKick. Encourage you

585
00:33:05,520 --> 00:33:07,800
Speaker 1: to go checkout a OutKick dot com to read a

586
00:33:07,840 --> 00:33:09,200
Speaker 1: lot of what he is doing on a day to

587
00:33:09,240 --> 00:33:14,719
Speaker 1: day basis. ESPN stopped programming in March during the NCAA

588
00:33:14,840 --> 00:33:17,040
Speaker 1: Women's basketball tournament. I think a lot of people out

589
00:33:17,080 --> 00:33:19,520
Speaker 1: there listening right now may not even know this to

590
00:33:20,160 --> 00:33:25,160
Speaker 1: criticize the Florida Parents Rights Bill, which kindergarten, first grade,

591
00:33:25,160 --> 00:33:27,000
Speaker 1: second grade, and third graders are not going to be

592
00:33:27,040 --> 00:33:31,480
Speaker 1: taught about sex related issues. Again, ESPN on their programming

593
00:33:32,080 --> 00:33:35,760
Speaker 1: stopped and had a moment of silence. L Duncan, I

594
00:33:35,800 --> 00:33:39,960
Speaker 1: believe is who was hosting this ridiculous charade. Yet they're

595
00:33:40,000 --> 00:33:43,920
Speaker 1: not going to even say a word about the NBA

596
00:33:44,080 --> 00:33:46,760
Speaker 1: going to the UAE. They claim that they cared about

597
00:33:46,760 --> 00:33:49,760
Speaker 1: gay people, but as we just said gay people can

598
00:33:49,840 --> 00:33:52,680
Speaker 1: be put to death in the UAE. Same thing for

599
00:33:52,720 --> 00:33:55,360
Speaker 1: the Atlanta Hawks and Milwaukee Bucks, who also have had

600
00:33:55,400 --> 00:33:59,240
Speaker 1: walkout situations. What in the world is going on here

601
00:33:59,280 --> 00:34:02,840
Speaker 1: that ESPN can have this woke stance as it pertains

602
00:34:02,880 --> 00:34:05,080
Speaker 1: to the state of Florida for a bill that frankly,

603
00:34:05,320 --> 00:34:07,040
Speaker 1: a lot of their people aren't even smart enough to

604
00:34:07,120 --> 00:34:10,239
Speaker 1: understand why they sounded like such idiots for this protest,

605
00:34:10,680 --> 00:34:12,560
Speaker 1: and yet they're not going to be right saying a

606
00:34:12,640 --> 00:34:17,439
Speaker 1: word about the UAE or the NBA's relationship there. Yes,

607
00:34:17,760 --> 00:34:20,000
Speaker 1: l Duncan, like You said, goes on air during a

608
00:34:20,040 --> 00:34:24,640
Speaker 1: college basketball tournament says it's so unfair to the LGBT

609
00:34:24,880 --> 00:34:28,719
Speaker 1: community that these teachers won't let the kids say gay,

610
00:34:28,800 --> 00:34:30,960
Speaker 1: which obviously is not true. There's nothing in the bill

611
00:34:31,040 --> 00:34:34,000
Speaker 1: that fans you from using the word gay. That's not

612
00:34:34,040 --> 00:34:36,360
Speaker 1: what it does. It basically tells teachers, you know, don't

613
00:34:36,480 --> 00:34:40,040
Speaker 1: talk about sex change and transgenderism with third graders and younger.

614
00:34:40,280 --> 00:34:41,920
Speaker 1: So she doesn't even know what the bill says, but

615
00:34:42,080 --> 00:34:45,400
Speaker 1: she interrupts a game to spread that talking point, saying

616
00:34:45,560 --> 00:34:48,799
Speaker 1: this is an attack on the LGBT community. Then she

617
00:34:48,880 --> 00:34:51,520
Speaker 1: goes on Twitter a little after saying, well, I have

618
00:34:51,600 --> 00:34:54,480
Speaker 1: friends that are LGBT, so it's my job to use

619
00:34:54,560 --> 00:34:58,200
Speaker 1: my large platform to stand out for them and protect them. Yet,

620
00:34:58,280 --> 00:35:01,759
Speaker 1: like you said, the the league that she claims to

621
00:35:01,800 --> 00:35:05,440
Speaker 1: be her favorite is now partner up with a country

622
00:35:05,560 --> 00:35:09,640
Speaker 1: that if you're gay, they're allowed to punish you by debt. Moreover,

623
00:35:09,760 --> 00:35:15,000
Speaker 1: Clay L Duncan is frequently interacting with joy Read on Twitter,

624
00:35:15,040 --> 00:35:17,840
Speaker 1: who posted a bunch of homophobic posts on her blogs

625
00:35:17,840 --> 00:35:19,840
Speaker 1: a couple of years ago. Of course, so l Duncan

626
00:35:19,960 --> 00:35:25,040
Speaker 1: brands herself as the gay rights activist at ESPN, Yet

627
00:35:25,440 --> 00:35:28,759
Speaker 1: she's talking with joy Read and not saying a word

628
00:35:28,800 --> 00:35:31,359
Speaker 1: about the MBA deal with a country that can kill

629
00:35:31,400 --> 00:35:33,840
Speaker 1: you for being gay. So, to me, there's no bigger

630
00:35:33,920 --> 00:35:36,440
Speaker 1: fraud at ESPN than Earth. There's a lot of people

631
00:35:36,440 --> 00:35:38,759
Speaker 1: on that list to consider it. Right now, I think

632
00:35:38,760 --> 00:35:41,000
Speaker 1: she's in a league of her own. She's a clown

633
00:35:41,200 --> 00:35:43,560
Speaker 1: and she's a hypocrite, and frankly, I'm not even sure

634
00:35:43,600 --> 00:35:45,919
Speaker 1: she's smart enough to understand how much of a clown

635
00:35:45,960 --> 00:35:47,640
Speaker 1: and a hypocrite she is. But it's part of the

636
00:35:47,719 --> 00:35:52,279
Speaker 1: larger network environment that ESPN has created created Bobby for

637
00:35:52,320 --> 00:35:54,880
Speaker 1: people who may not be super plugged in in the

638
00:35:54,920 --> 00:35:59,240
Speaker 1: world of sports, how left wing is the sports media

639
00:35:59,360 --> 00:36:02,000
Speaker 1: that covered sports? As we talk a lot about the

640
00:36:02,080 --> 00:36:05,720
Speaker 1: left wing bias in politics from MSNBC and Washington Post

641
00:36:05,760 --> 00:36:09,359
Speaker 1: and the New York Times and CNN and all these

642
00:36:09,400 --> 00:36:13,759
Speaker 1: outlets that everybody immediately recognizes and acknowledges, has that left

643
00:36:13,760 --> 00:36:17,000
Speaker 1: wing bias. A lot of times, the ESPN's of the

644
00:36:17,040 --> 00:36:20,600
Speaker 1: world slide under the radar, and the extreme left wing

645
00:36:20,680 --> 00:36:24,040
Speaker 1: bias of the sports media outside of places like OutKick

646
00:36:24,280 --> 00:36:28,200
Speaker 1: almost doesn't even get called out at all. Right, And

647
00:36:28,360 --> 00:36:30,880
Speaker 1: I don't is anybody more qualified to talk about this

648
00:36:30,920 --> 00:36:32,560
Speaker 1: than you and I, because I don't think anybody on

649
00:36:32,640 --> 00:36:36,520
Speaker 1: a daily basis delves into bolts of political media landscape

650
00:36:36,520 --> 00:36:39,560
Speaker 1: in the sports media's landscape like we do. And yet

651
00:36:39,960 --> 00:36:42,919
Speaker 1: there is a perspective of news media leans left, which

652
00:36:42,920 --> 00:36:46,320
Speaker 1: it absolutely does, but the sports media leans in that

653
00:36:46,560 --> 00:36:50,960
Speaker 1: direction so much further because here's the thing. The reason

654
00:36:51,000 --> 00:36:53,440
Speaker 1: what sports media is is that most of the people

655
00:36:53,480 --> 00:36:56,520
Speaker 1: are sort of bitter and they feel like they need

656
00:36:56,560 --> 00:36:59,080
Speaker 1: to prove what side they're ounds. You see, so many

657
00:36:59,160 --> 00:37:02,880
Speaker 1: people just never miss an opportunity to call somebody racist

658
00:37:02,920 --> 00:37:05,160
Speaker 1: for something that's not a racist. At least in the

659
00:37:05,200 --> 00:37:09,920
Speaker 1: news media, you have alternative outlift that can push back

660
00:37:09,960 --> 00:37:13,600
Speaker 1: on that prominent outlift, and too OutKick, there was nobody

661
00:37:13,680 --> 00:37:16,919
Speaker 1: in the sports media space that could even get a

662
00:37:17,080 --> 00:37:20,480
Speaker 1: moderate opinion just to push back and say, wait a minute,

663
00:37:20,640 --> 00:37:23,840
Speaker 1: what you're saying is not factual. That all these sports

664
00:37:23,880 --> 00:37:27,040
Speaker 1: anchors saying that this bill prohibits the word of gay.

665
00:37:27,160 --> 00:37:29,279
Speaker 1: If there wasn't an OutKick, there would not be a

666
00:37:29,360 --> 00:37:32,440
Speaker 1: single website that covers sports that would have said that.

667
00:37:32,600 --> 00:37:34,560
Speaker 1: So I think the biggest thing is if there is

668
00:37:34,760 --> 00:37:38,279
Speaker 1: less of a voice in alternative sports media than there

669
00:37:38,360 --> 00:37:41,080
Speaker 1: is news media. And I find that so unfortunate because

670
00:37:41,239 --> 00:37:42,880
Speaker 1: I go to a sports bar or go to a

671
00:37:42,920 --> 00:37:45,279
Speaker 1: sports game, and I think so many people are just

672
00:37:45,400 --> 00:37:48,400
Speaker 1: so fed up with what's going on, but their voices

673
00:37:48,400 --> 00:37:51,880
Speaker 1: are not a representative representative because so much of the

674
00:37:51,960 --> 00:37:55,960
Speaker 1: sports conversation for so long has been dictated by ESPN,

675
00:37:56,080 --> 00:38:00,600
Speaker 1: the Washington Post, NBC Sports all the which lean probably

676
00:38:00,640 --> 00:38:04,080
Speaker 1: as far left as CNN, and an ESPN's case, as

677
00:38:04,080 --> 00:38:07,080
Speaker 1: far left as MSNBC. I don't think there's any doubt

678
00:38:07,120 --> 00:38:09,200
Speaker 1: if you enjoy this conversation and you want to have

679
00:38:09,239 --> 00:38:11,080
Speaker 1: a little bit of sanity in your sports life. I'd

680
00:38:11,120 --> 00:38:14,480
Speaker 1: encourage you to check out Bobby Barak. Also checkout OutKick

681
00:38:14,560 --> 00:38:18,359
Speaker 1: dot com Bobby by the way, data also out there.

682
00:38:18,400 --> 00:38:20,640
Speaker 1: Major League Baseball pulled the All Star Game out of

683
00:38:20,680 --> 00:38:22,759
Speaker 1: Georgia because they said that it was Jim Crow two

684
00:38:22,800 --> 00:38:27,840
Speaker 1: point zero. So the voting has surged in Georgia. Another lie,

685
00:38:27,880 --> 00:38:31,960
Speaker 1: another thing that sports got wrong. Yeah, I think my

686
00:38:32,040 --> 00:38:34,120
Speaker 1: favorite one is actually I think when Biden called it

687
00:38:34,239 --> 00:38:36,719
Speaker 1: Jim Crow on steroid, Jim Crow two point oh. It's

688
00:38:36,719 --> 00:38:39,640
Speaker 1: pretty good, but Jim Crow on steroids even better. Yeah,

689
00:38:39,680 --> 00:38:43,480
Speaker 1: it's just another example of sort of these sports companies

690
00:38:43,480 --> 00:38:47,279
Speaker 1: and major corporations acting irrationally out of fear. So what

691
00:38:47,360 --> 00:38:50,680
Speaker 1: happened here is MLB commissioner Rob Manford. He saw the

692
00:38:50,800 --> 00:38:55,640
Speaker 1: push to say that Georgia's bills were holding black people

693
00:38:55,680 --> 00:38:58,280
Speaker 1: back with an example of volor suppression, so he felt

694
00:38:58,440 --> 00:39:01,399
Speaker 1: he needed to make a statement to show everybody, well,

695
00:39:01,440 --> 00:39:03,520
Speaker 1: he's not a racist. You can't call me a racist.

696
00:39:03,600 --> 00:39:06,120
Speaker 1: I pulled the All Star Game out of Atlanta, But

697
00:39:06,239 --> 00:39:09,360
Speaker 1: as you say, it didn't suppress any votes. Of voting

698
00:39:09,480 --> 00:39:12,759
Speaker 1: is up double since twenty eighteen and moreover, what ended

699
00:39:12,800 --> 00:39:15,560
Speaker 1: up happening. He took the All Star Game to Colorado,

700
00:39:15,800 --> 00:39:20,160
Speaker 1: which arguably has more stringent voting laws than Georgia, And

701
00:39:20,320 --> 00:39:23,160
Speaker 1: in the meantime, he ended up just taking money away

702
00:39:23,360 --> 00:39:28,480
Speaker 1: from black owned businesses in Atlanta. So what did he accomplish? Nothing? Thankfully,

703
00:39:28,520 --> 00:39:30,399
Speaker 1: the Braves won the World Series and got to host

704
00:39:30,440 --> 00:39:32,880
Speaker 1: three World Series games instead. Bobby, keep up the good work.

705
00:39:32,920 --> 00:39:38,560
Speaker 1: Appreciate it, my man Clay, Appreciate it. Great speeches inspire us.

706
00:39:38,600 --> 00:39:41,279
Speaker 1: They make you think, they inspire us to act. They

707
00:39:41,320 --> 00:39:44,919
Speaker 1: reassure us all of our beliefs. Hillsdale College knows this too,

708
00:39:44,960 --> 00:39:48,239
Speaker 1: and for as long as fifty years now, they've reprinted

709
00:39:48,239 --> 00:39:52,080
Speaker 1: the words from great speeches in a monthly magazine digest.

710
00:39:52,160 --> 00:39:55,080
Speaker 1: They call this publication and Primus, and it's delivered every

Speaker 1: Clay and Buck for Helsdale dot com. Welcome back in

724
00:40:44,480 --> 00:40:48,160
Speaker 1: Clay Travis Buck Sexton show. Buck is in Chicago. Should

725
00:40:48,160 --> 00:40:50,080
Speaker 1: probably mention that have a couple times during the course

726
00:40:50,080 --> 00:40:53,120
Speaker 1: of the show. Will be back together Monday, but he

727
00:40:53,280 --> 00:40:55,920
Speaker 1: is never been in Chicago, so he's spending some vacation

728
00:40:56,000 --> 00:41:00,200
Speaker 1: time there. One and two, we just played some Jensay

729
00:41:00,239 --> 00:41:04,200
Speaker 1: clips for you, but this one this baby formula shortage,

730
00:41:04,239 --> 00:41:06,560
Speaker 1: and you heard Rand Paul talking about it with us

731
00:41:06,560 --> 00:41:10,800
Speaker 1: as well. This is pretty wild the degree to which

732
00:41:11,320 --> 00:41:15,080
Speaker 1: we are now probably suffering many moms and dads out

733
00:41:15,120 --> 00:41:20,359
Speaker 1: there are with the single most irreplaceable product out there.

734
00:41:21,080 --> 00:41:24,600
Speaker 1: Because right now, if there's a shortage of bananas, you

735
00:41:24,600 --> 00:41:26,800
Speaker 1: can decide. I know we got a lot of banana

736
00:41:26,840 --> 00:41:28,560
Speaker 1: fans out there, but if you want to go with

737
00:41:28,600 --> 00:41:31,120
Speaker 1: a fruit, you can go from banana to orange. Right,

738
00:41:31,440 --> 00:41:37,480
Speaker 1: you can go from apple to any other fruit product. Right.

739
00:41:38,480 --> 00:41:41,280
Speaker 1: If you want a beer, I'm gonna have some adult

740
00:41:41,320 --> 00:41:44,440
Speaker 1: beverages tonight down at the I'm down on by the

741
00:41:44,440 --> 00:41:47,400
Speaker 1: way that Florida Panhandle having an awesome time down here.

742
00:41:47,440 --> 00:41:49,240
Speaker 1: We got a lot of listeners from all over the country.

743
00:41:49,280 --> 00:41:51,120
Speaker 1: I met a bunch of them last night out to dinner.

744
00:41:52,239 --> 00:41:54,080
Speaker 1: But if you want to go with an adult beverage,

745
00:41:54,680 --> 00:41:57,120
Speaker 1: maybe you're a bud light guy, you could probably make

746
00:41:57,160 --> 00:42:00,560
Speaker 1: do with Miller Light or Core's Light. If you're a

747
00:42:00,680 --> 00:42:07,360
Speaker 1: parent and you need baby formula, there isn't a fungible alternative.

748
00:42:08,040 --> 00:42:09,959
Speaker 1: I've been through this. I know a lot of dads

749
00:42:09,960 --> 00:42:13,279
Speaker 1: and moms know the feeling where you suddenly realize you're

750
00:42:13,320 --> 00:42:16,440
Speaker 1: out of baby formula. It's late at night, and you

751
00:42:16,520 --> 00:42:20,600
Speaker 1: walk into that twenty four hour grocery store to go

752
00:42:20,719 --> 00:42:25,239
Speaker 1: by the Similac or the Infamil, whatever brand you might

753
00:42:25,280 --> 00:42:30,480
Speaker 1: be dealing with, and you know that that is incredibly

754
00:42:30,520 --> 00:42:33,320
Speaker 1: important because you've got a crying baby back home, because

755
00:42:33,320 --> 00:42:36,960
Speaker 1: you've got a baby that's hungry, because you have to

756
00:42:36,239 --> 00:42:40,680
Speaker 1: maintain and provide for that baby, and there aren't hardly

757
00:42:40,719 --> 00:42:45,520
Speaker 1: any fungible alternatives because the baby is still feeding from

758
00:42:45,520 --> 00:42:49,640
Speaker 1: the bottle. Well, Jensaki is in the White House. We

759
00:42:49,719 --> 00:42:53,400
Speaker 1: just told you it's her last day. She was asked

760
00:42:53,560 --> 00:42:58,600
Speaker 1: yesterday about the baby formulas shortage, and she blamed it

761
00:42:58,719 --> 00:43:03,240
Speaker 1: on people who are are hoarding baby formula. That's really

762
00:43:03,280 --> 00:43:07,080
Speaker 1: what the White House response is. Now, listen to this.

763
00:43:07,320 --> 00:43:10,040
Speaker 1: If you are a parent who's looking for formula right now,

764
00:43:10,080 --> 00:43:12,880
Speaker 1: struggling to find what you need, you have even a

765
00:43:12,960 --> 00:43:15,600
Speaker 1: rough guess of how long these shortages are going to last.

766
00:43:15,640 --> 00:43:18,280
Speaker 1: What's your parents be bracing for here, Well, we've already

767
00:43:18,280 --> 00:43:20,720
Speaker 1: seen an increase in supply of the past couple of weeks.

768
00:43:20,800 --> 00:43:23,400
Speaker 1: What we are seeing, which is an enormous problem, is hoarding.

769
00:43:24,120 --> 00:43:27,719
Speaker 1: People hoarding because they're fearful, that is one element of it.

770
00:43:27,760 --> 00:43:30,080
Speaker 1: And people hoarding because they are trying to profit off

771
00:43:30,080 --> 00:43:33,520
Speaker 1: of fearful parents. So that is also something we're focused on.

772
00:43:34,280 --> 00:43:36,400
Speaker 1: I don't know. I've lived in America my whole life.

773
00:43:36,440 --> 00:43:39,200
Speaker 1: I never remember a time when hoarding baby formula would

774
00:43:39,239 --> 00:43:42,719
Speaker 1: have been remotely effective because there was plenty of it.

775
00:43:43,640 --> 00:43:47,000
Speaker 1: Joe Biden, Bear selves Biden, of all the things that

776
00:43:47,040 --> 00:43:50,279
Speaker 1: we could be running out of, right now. Running out

777
00:43:50,280 --> 00:43:52,799
Speaker 1: of baby formula is absolutely absurd. We took phone calls

778
00:43:52,800 --> 00:43:55,359
Speaker 1: on this earlier this week. You may recall from the

779
00:43:55,360 --> 00:43:57,560
Speaker 1: East coast to the West coast, people were calling into

780
00:43:57,600 --> 00:44:00,400
Speaker 1: the program talking about the difficulty they are having finding

781
00:44:01,200 --> 00:44:04,080
Speaker 1: baby formula. It's just such an extent that grandma's and

782
00:44:04,120 --> 00:44:07,480
Speaker 1: grandpa's are getting drawn into the search process in many

783
00:44:07,480 --> 00:44:11,400
Speaker 1: different places. All right, final few minutes here, final twenty

784
00:44:11,400 --> 00:44:14,520
Speaker 1: minutes or so of the program for the week. Let's

785
00:44:14,560 --> 00:44:17,160
Speaker 1: have a little bit of fun open lines eight hundred

786
00:44:17,200 --> 00:44:19,640
Speaker 1: two eight two two eight eight two. I pointed out

787
00:44:19,640 --> 00:44:23,040
Speaker 1: earlier in the show that it's Friday the thirteenth, and

788
00:44:23,560 --> 00:44:27,719
Speaker 1: the most scary series of movies that I have ever

789
00:44:27,760 --> 00:44:32,880
Speaker 1: seen are the Conjuring films, but there have been other films.

790
00:44:32,920 --> 00:44:37,680
Speaker 1: I went and saw paranormal activity by myself. My wife,

791
00:44:37,880 --> 00:44:39,840
Speaker 1: and at that time, I think we had two kids

792
00:44:39,840 --> 00:44:42,440
Speaker 1: were out of the house. I came back home to

793
00:44:42,480 --> 00:44:46,919
Speaker 1: the house by myself. I left every light on in

794
00:44:47,160 --> 00:44:52,000
Speaker 1: the entire house, and I also propped the door so

795
00:44:52,040 --> 00:44:54,440
Speaker 1: it couldn't be opened. I guess thinking that the ghost

796
00:44:54,520 --> 00:44:57,719
Speaker 1: wouldn't just float through the door, But I was at

797
00:44:57,719 --> 00:44:59,960
Speaker 1: the time. I don't know. Thirty seven, thirty eight year

798
00:45:00,040 --> 00:45:03,560
Speaker 1: years old, fully grown man, and I had all the

799
00:45:03,640 --> 00:45:06,320
Speaker 1: lights on in the house after going to see Paranormal Activity.

800
00:45:06,360 --> 00:45:09,920
Speaker 1: I love scary movies. I love, by the way, the

801
00:45:09,960 --> 00:45:13,080
Speaker 1: Scream series in terms of pure enjoyment as a kid

802
00:45:13,120 --> 00:45:14,960

Speaker 1: inspector general to verify that we don't waste all of it.

952
00:53:10,400 --> 00:53:14,200
Speaker 1: Seems very very reasonable. We're having some fun taking a

953
00:53:14,200 --> 00:53:17,640
Speaker 1: lot of calls about what exactly is your favorite horror

954
00:53:17,680 --> 00:53:22,240
Speaker 1: movie since we are right now obviously on Friday the thirteenth,

955
00:53:22,239 --> 00:53:24,480
Speaker 1: and a lot of you have weighed in want to

956
00:53:24,480 --> 00:53:28,160
Speaker 1: give the show. The show crew all put their picks

957
00:53:28,200 --> 00:53:32,840
Speaker 1: in Ali Silence of the Lambs, very very scary movie

958
00:53:32,880 --> 00:53:34,960
Speaker 1: back in the day. Anthony Hopkins man, how good was

959
00:53:35,000 --> 00:53:39,240
Speaker 1: he in that? And the Clarisse character who was played

960
00:53:39,320 --> 00:53:44,520
Speaker 1: by Oh yeah, Jodie Foster. She was creating that too,

961
00:53:45,080 --> 00:53:48,759
Speaker 1: Greg twenty eight days later, Mike, these are all the

962
00:53:48,760 --> 00:53:53,120
Speaker 1: people who work on the show. Dracula's daughter Dean Evil Dead.

963
00:53:53,719 --> 00:53:57,840
Speaker 1: Mojo went with young Frankenstein. Lisa went with Jaws. And

964
00:53:57,920 --> 00:54:01,800
Speaker 1: I have to say, I think Jaws is the single

965
00:54:01,960 --> 00:54:05,920
Speaker 1: most influential movie that has ever been made in American history.

966
00:54:06,200 --> 00:54:07,919
Speaker 1: And some of you out there like you're crazy Clay,

967
00:54:07,960 --> 00:54:09,759
Speaker 1: now think about it. I'm down at the beach right now.

968
00:54:10,239 --> 00:54:13,000
Speaker 1: I'm going to go in the water when I get

969
00:54:13,040 --> 00:54:15,759
Speaker 1: done with the show. And when I go in the water,

970
00:54:15,960 --> 00:54:18,359
Speaker 1: I will think, at least for a moment, I hope

971
00:54:18,360 --> 00:54:21,560
Speaker 1: I don't get eaten by a shark. Every single person,

972
00:54:21,640 --> 00:54:23,160
Speaker 1: and a lot of this was such a back in

973
00:54:23,200 --> 00:54:25,840
Speaker 1: the day when this movie was made. You've probably gotten

974
00:54:25,880 --> 00:54:29,000
Speaker 1: scared of sharks swimming in a lake. You've probably gotten

975
00:54:29,040 --> 00:54:32,560
Speaker 1: scared of sharks swimming in a swimming pool. At night.

976
00:54:33,360 --> 00:54:36,040
Speaker 1: That's how impactful this movie is. I'm not sure that

977
00:54:36,120 --> 00:54:40,480
Speaker 1: any movie ever made has ever impacted the American cultural

978
00:54:40,640 --> 00:54:44,960
Speaker 1: conscience the same way that Jaws has. Andrew went with

979
00:54:45,040 --> 00:54:49,680
Speaker 1: Jacob's Ladder. That was a spooky movie. And then Dub, Look,

980
00:54:49,760 --> 00:54:52,720
Speaker 1: if I had to pick someone to win a fight

981
00:54:52,760 --> 00:54:56,319
Speaker 1: to the death that works on the show, Buck well, Buck,

982
00:54:56,440 --> 00:54:58,120
Speaker 1: you know he was in the CIA. I don't even know.

983
00:54:58,200 --> 00:55:01,600
Speaker 1: Buck might have all sorts of crazy, you know, choke

984
00:55:01,680 --> 00:55:04,120
Speaker 1: you out, you know, or you know, make you pass

985
00:55:04,160 --> 00:55:07,000
Speaker 1: out by bending your thumb the wrong way. But Dub

986
00:55:07,080 --> 00:55:11,240
Speaker 1: is a big dude. Dub said, I hate scary movies.

987
00:55:11,880 --> 00:55:15,960
Speaker 1: He's the biggest guy on the show, six probably six

988
00:55:16,120 --> 00:55:20,840
Speaker 1: four two forty, and he's afraid to watch scary movies. Okay,

989
00:55:20,880 --> 00:55:22,360
Speaker 1: so we got a couple more people who want to

990

00:55:55,760 --> 00:55:59,319
Speaker 1: Dan in Buffalo, Wyoming, which is a heck of a

1002
00:55:59,400 --> 00:56:02,399
Speaker 1: name for its down what movie are you rolling with?

1003
00:56:03,560 --> 00:56:07,080
Speaker 1: I'm rolling with a TV movie made in nineteen seventy

1004
00:56:07,080 --> 00:56:09,399
Speaker 1: two that you can still watch on Netflix. It's called

1005
00:56:09,480 --> 00:56:14,479
Speaker 1: Gargoyles and it was absolutely terrifying. I was nineteen years

1006
00:56:14,480 --> 00:56:17,080
Speaker 1: old when it came on TV. I was at home

1007
00:56:17,120 --> 00:56:22,759
Speaker 1: alone one night watching the television and it struck. It

1008
00:56:22,840 --> 00:56:25,080
Speaker 1: struck a nerd with me, and I haven't forgotten about

1009
00:56:25,080 --> 00:56:28,279
Speaker 1: it until over fifty years or fifty years it's been. Yeah,

1010
00:56:28,320 --> 00:56:31,040
Speaker 1: I appreciate that, Dan, I need to get out to Wyoming.

1011
00:56:31,080 --> 00:56:33,280
Speaker 1: By the way, I've never spent any time in Wyoming.

1012
00:56:33,440 --> 00:56:37,480
Speaker 1: I love the Yellowstone television show, and spoiler alert, they

1013
00:56:37,600 --> 00:56:42,000
Speaker 1: dump all the dead bodies allegedly from Montana in Wyoming

1014
00:56:42,120 --> 00:56:44,080
Speaker 1: in a big crevice there By the way. Yellowstone is

1015
00:56:44,120 --> 00:56:45,920
