Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome to today's edition of The Clay Travis and Buck
Sexton Show podcast. Welcome back into the Clay Travis and
Buck Sexton Show. This is Buck solo today, Clay on
vacation with his family. Gain A Function research, the Lab,
league theory, fauci, China, a lot of big topics to
handle right now. We've got Senator rand Paul with us
(00:23):
now of Kentucky. Senator, thanks for calling in, absolutely thanks
for having me, Buck. So what are you trying to
get to the bottom off here with these hearings with
gain of Function research? What should the American people know
about this? And why are we digging deeper into it?
You know, a million Americans died, six point four million
(00:45):
people died around the world, and I'm actually just shocked
that the other side, and many on the Democrat side,
are not curious at all. Wouldn't we all want to
know if there's a chance, even a chance that this
came from the lab. Wouldn't we want to know? And
wouldn't we want more overside on the kind of research
that creates novel viruses that increase their transmissibility or increase
(01:06):
their lethality. I don't understand why anybody wouldn't want to know.
But we had yesterday the first hearing ever on gain
of function. Gain of function is when you take a
virus of known lethality and then you try to make
it more infectious or more lethal. Well, this is the
research that was going on in Wuhan, China, and we
were funding. When doctor Fauchi was asked directly about it,
(01:29):
he says, oh, no, we're not doing that. But we
had three scientists yesterday, including a scientist who's the leading
advocate for better oversight of this, who's been talking about
this since two thousand and four, He testified yesterday that
what Fauci said was false. That they were doing of
gain and function research. It was funded by the NIH
(01:50):
And interestingly, doctor Fauci's claimed that his people had reviewed
it and found it not to be gain a function
was not true either. There's a committee, a pandemic committee
that oversees these viruses and if they're supposed to be
dangerous or could cause a pandemic, they never review the
research in China. To make things matters, to make matters worse,
(02:11):
that three scientists yesterday testify that the pandemic review committee
that's supposed to prevent stuff like this from happening is secret.
We don't know the names of the scientists on it,
and their reports are secret. We do know that they've
only investigated three different research contracts, but they didn't investigate
any of the Wuhan research that was going on that
(02:33):
maywell have led to this virus and this pandemic. And
doctor Fauci and doctor Burkes and some of the others
Wilenski who have been pushing so much policy during the
COVID pandemic. I'm sure you've seen Senator Paul. They're continuing
with this you need to mask up indoors. They're continuing
(02:54):
with the belief that the vaccines work really well. What
are you going to do if Republicans have control of
the Senate and the House, which I'm hoping and this
audience is hoping, is what's going to happen relatively soon here.
What else is gonna you know, what else do you
want to chase down about COVID, about the pandemic? I mean,
you know, Ron de Santiso Florida, the governor, just reminded
(03:17):
everybody earlier this week that the health establishment of this
country thought it was okay to approve BLM riots out
in the streets while people couldn't see their sick relatives
in the hospital or hug them or touch them. What's
going to happen if you can actually hold hearings the
way you want to. We'll investigate every last bit of this.
We will subpoena all of doctor Fauci's records. We're going
(03:39):
to find out whether there was a cover up. Within
the first month, there was a letter issued by into
Lancet Scientific Journal that said it was a conspiracy theory
to indicate you believed this came from a lab. This
letter was organized by the main funder of the Wuhan
research Eco Health Alliance was funding the research. He worked
(04:00):
behind the scenes to get scientists to sign the letter
saying you're crazy if you think this came from a lab.
He was covering his butt. But we're going to find
all of this information through subpoena. As far as what
works and doesn't work, there's a host of information, in fact,
a plethora of information that shows that putting stickers on
the floor does nothing but enriched the people who make
(04:22):
the stickers, but it doesn't slow the virus down. Plexiglass
doesn't work masks don't work. Where people wore masks, and
where they didn't wear masks, they had exactly the same
transmission in states that we're under lockdown, like California versus
states like Florida that we're open. No difference in the
transmission of the illness, no difference in death rate. Ultimately,
(04:44):
So really, I think what we're gonna do is we're
going to bring in the scientist and we're going to
discuss this and have science and have evidence and have
studies presented. But we can do this again. I mean,
they about destroyed our country. The massive inflation that we're
experiencing now is because of the lock down on all
the checks that were passed out. It's being a Senator
Rand paul Off, Kentucky and Senator you mentioned inflation, the
(05:06):
checks that were passed out. What do you want to
tell people about this bill that now Joe Mansion seems
to have breathed new life into the anti inflation spending
tax bill. It's a terrible idea to raise taxes when
you're in a recession. All indications were in a recession.
(05:27):
I think we're an intercession that we'll get worse. But
the tax increases a surefire way to make your recession
worse and to exacerbate unemployment. Even Barack Obama in two
thousand and eight said we're not going to raise taxes
during a recession. Chuck Schumer used to believe this. Most
economists have said, don't raise taxes in a recession. So
it's a really bad idea. But if you think the
(05:48):
Democrats electoral prospects were bad when they passed this, prices
are going to go up. There's a special tax on
natural gas. As we enter into the fall and winter season.
We're going to see their heating bills go up and
their natural gas bills go up. Everyone, not just rich people.
Everybody's bill is going to go up. So this is
going to be a disaster for the country, and it's
(06:11):
something we can only hope that maybe one senator, Senator
Cinema might say, my goodness, do I really want to
vote for something that it's going to lead us further
into recession? Do you think there's a chance, a Senator Paul,
that Senator Cinema may back off of this. I'm seeing
that she's and I only know what I'm reading publicly,
(06:32):
but what I'm reading publicly is that she has some
doubts out part of it. If I had to guess,
she's going to maybe whittle down some of the taxes
won't be quite as bad, but the overall bill is
going to still be bad for the country. Can she
make it less bad? Perhaps? Senator, we're also here heard
all across the state of Kentucky, your home state, and
I know that there have been dozens killed in the
(06:54):
in the recent flooding. You've been following this issue very closely,
trying to get government attention and sources to help folks affected.
How is that that recovery effort going? What can you
tell us? You know, if you've seen days of pictures
of dramatic rescues by helicopter, is just out of this world.
But we have saved, you know, dozens and dozens of
(07:16):
people who might not have made it but for the
great rescue workers. You know, these are EMT helicopter pilots,
National Guard, police, fire all the first responders are just
doing an incredible job. As we do, there'll be a
long effort to clean up and to get people back
into houses, shelter, food, etc. Clothing, and then really as
we get beyond that, one of the things I'm already
(07:38):
starting to talk about is whether or not, you know,
we have great sophistication in measuring rainfall and predicting rainfall
and tornadoes. Certainly, as we measure rivers rising, maybe there
needs to be a secondary sort of alarm system. It
can be the same tornado alarm system, but maybe it
goes off such that people are saying they're now telling
us the second alarm means the river's gone up three inches,
(08:00):
and within the next hour, there's a chance that's in
my house centator. How quickly did this come on? For
people that maybe don't know, maybe don't know the story,
the background, how quickly did this flood happen? We had
ten and a half to eleven inches in the space
of several hours. Now you'll see that sometimes on the
Gulf Coast and hurricanes. I grew up in the Houston area,
(08:21):
and I remember getting twenty seven inches in four days,
and that's a lot of rain, and you'd have standing
rain on the ground, but Houston's flat, whereas this is
all the rain is collected. So if you have ten
inches of rain, but all of the area of ten
inches of rain for miles and miles drains into one
gully or one holler. You can see the effects can be,
you know, fifty feet of water rising in a matter
(08:43):
of hours. And I think it truly was this And
it was also particularly unfortunate because of the rain was
coming in the evening and past midnight, so a lot
of the flooding was occurring after midnight when people are
are asleep and not maybe as aware of the warnings
centator around. Paul Leways, appreciate your time, Thanks for calling in.
Thanks Block. Plenty of men and women in this country
(09:05):
are experiencing chronic pain, my friends. It happens as we
get older, we push ourselves a little bit or just
physically demanding things day to day. So how do you
find relief from that pain, which is often caused by inflammation.
The solution is relief Factor, one percent drug free with
just four all natural ingredients. I'm at the gym Fairmount
these days, trying to get back into shape like I
(09:27):
was years ago, and it feels great and happy with
the results so far. Could be a little faster, but
I've got some pain from all the over exertion, particularly
my left shoulder. That's where relief Factor helps me out.
The first three weeks of taking it have really made
a difference. Relief Factor is created by doctors, perfected and
backed by over fifteen years of scientific research. Join them.
(09:47):
More than half a million people who have tried relief Factor.
In order the three week quickstart for only nineteen ninety five.
Go to relief Factor dot com. Recall eight hundred four
relief one more times. You can get the web address
relief Factor dot Com. We can call this phone number.
Try it today, eight hundred the number four Relief relief Factor.
(10:08):
Feel the different. Welcome back into the Clay Travis and
Buck Sexton Show. We just talked to Senator Rampaul really
interesting about the gain to function research hearings on Capitol
Hill that he is spearheading. But I mentioned this I
wanted you to hear it. Rhonda Santis recently pointed out,
you just can't trust the public health authorities in this
country because of politicization. They are the political bent of
(10:36):
the public health expert, usually with a blue check, several
masks and several Ukraine flags and suggested pronouns on Twitter
and Facebook, etc. This is something that we've all seen,
all very aware of it, and every American should be
reminded of the fact that the public health experts, including Fauci,
(11:01):
thought that after telling us for months, your graduation is canceled,
your funeral for your relative, canceled, your wedding, canceled restaurants,
shut down businesses, shut down, mask up on planes, or
we will ban you from the airline forever and arrest
(11:21):
you because this virus is so serious. Oh but if
you want to have thousands of people go out on
the streets and loot and pillage and destroy in the
name of BLM, the public health expert said that was
really important, that was necessary for society during the pandemic.
They said it, they did, don't forget it. And here's
(11:44):
Governor Ron de Santras reminding everybody they would shame people
for even leaving their house April May twenty twenty, and
you can't do it. And seeing some people wanted to
bury loved ones, they wanted to do this, and the
argument people were making is, well, wait a minute, I
can look at the risk of COVID and it's something
that I'm willing to accept because these things mean more
(12:04):
to me. To be able to bury a loved one
or to be able to do things with my family,
and the public health established, oh no, no, you can't
make that kind of cost benefit analysis. Then when the
George Floyd riots were happening, they actually wrote a letter
with thousands of these people signing. It's saying, we do
not believe that rioting and protesting is bad for COVID,
(12:26):
that you can do it, go ahead, because we think
it's so important that you have to do it. And
then they said, but this doesn't mean we support all protests.
If you're protesting lockdown policies or other things, then you
can't do that. And that's when I knew these people
are a bunch of frauds. It's true, and that was
a red pill moment for everybody who likes to live
(12:47):
in reality and cares about the truth. The public health
establishment engaged in a mass act of self immolation of
their credibility as soon as that happened. I mean, they
were it was so obvious, so brazen that they're just
a bunch of ideologue libs that happen to have a
(13:09):
public health degree or an MD or whatever the case
may be. But when they're politics, you know, when their
political choices come into play, your health matters a whole
lot less or their health directives all of a sudden,
were far more malleable, far more subjective circumstance. Sure, and
(13:29):
then there's this from the Biden administration. They just declared
the Biden administration just declared monkey pox, which is still
what everyone's calling it. An they're trying to come up
with a new name because monkey pox they think is offensive.
Whatever is smallpox offensive? We got to change all We're
gonna change all the names of all the viruses. I'm
(13:49):
just wondering, no notice, No one thinks lyme disease is offensive.
That's okay, even though it's named after a place, Spanish flu.
I mean, yeah, the Spanish influenza. It is kind of unfair.
It didn't come from Spain, but you know, that's just
what everyone calls it. That's not considered offensive though. But
monkeypox has been declared a national health emergency by the
(14:12):
Biden administration as of today. This is interesting because the
Washington Post, it's a few minutes ago, put this out.
Sex is a major driver of the monkey pox the
global monkey pox outbreak, but health officials and long time
HIV activists say calls for abstinence don't work. Okay, let's
(14:34):
let's take a moment, shall we. Since we have this
health apparatus, now, that's all about keeping you safe and
just the science and the truth. It's not calls for
abstinence that anyone is talking about here. It is calls
for it calls for abstaining from group sex with strangers.
(14:57):
That is what is actually under discussion. Okay, No, they're
not saying you've got to be celibate the rest of
your life to avoid monkey pox. They are saying, and
I cannot even describe some of the practices where there
have been spreading events of monkey pox on the radio.
I can't do it. I mean it would be a violation.
(15:18):
But essentially, don't have sex with ten people in a
week is the guidance that I want to remind everybody.
This is what's being debated right now. And the CDC
is worried about the stigmatizing effect of that guidance, which
I think is just good guidance as a general rule.
(15:40):
I'll just put that out there. But even beyond that,
if this is about health, the politics shouldn't matter. You're
trying to save people. There's about a five percent fatality
rate from monkey pox, which is not which is not
super high. It's not like something it's not like smallpox,
for example, which is a much more virile, much more
dangerous box but you know, which I think was about
(16:03):
forty percent of people who'd get thirty to forty percent
of people got smallpox would die from it. But five
percent is very high. As we know the in the
Grant scheme of data and virology and epidemiology, you have
a less than one percent fatality rate from COVID, far
less than one percent actually, So you really don't want
(16:25):
to get monkey pocks. So it's important to help people
avoid the getting of monkey pocks, in which there's been
thousands of cases. Now they're declaring a health emergency, so
they're saying it's really important to stop this. They're saying
it's really dangerous. They've got to be willing to tell
us the truth. Then they've got to be willing to
look at what is actually going on now and say, hey,
(16:47):
you know this is For example, they've mentioned HIV. If
you were an intravenous drug user, your risk of HIV
for a long time was astronomically higher than the general
population would it have been. Oh, but you know, drug
is an addiction, and we don't want to stigmatize drug
(17:07):
users who want them to get treatment, so we don't
want know. You need to tell people on health matters
the truth and right now, just the same way that
with COVID, what was the super high risk factor age?
And then wait, but age was number one. Now you
can't do anything about age, right Your age is your age.
But that's a very high risk factor. For policy reasons,
(17:27):
it was important for us to know that and discuss it.
What is the primary risk factor for monkeypox right now?
Having sex with a lot of partners that you do
not know in a very short period of time, essentially
orgies avoid orgies? Important public health guidance on this issue.
(17:50):
Why won't they just say it? Twenty two years ago
next month, we suffered our largest terrorist attack on our soil,
September eleventh, two thousand and one. Since then, the Tunne
Oftha Towers Foundation has been helping families of fallen soldiers,
first responders, and men and women fighting the war on terrorism.
In many cases, they've been able to help pay off
the mortgages of homes lived in by surviving families. It's
(18:13):
their promise to do good and never forget the sacrifices
America's heroes have made for us. These heroes now need
your help. That's GoldStar and fallen first responder families with children,
and our nation's most catastrophically injured first responders and veterans,
even our service members who are homeless. US Marine Corps
Corporal Christopher Greer was a firefighter in emt in Tennessee.
(18:34):
When he was deployed to Afghanistan. He gave his life
serving our country. Tunneltha Towers was able to pay off
the Greer family mortgage. Donate eleven dollars a month. Now
join Clay and me. Every month we're donated to Tunne
of the Towers. Go to T two t dot org.
That's t the number two t dot org. Welcome back
(18:56):
to Clay travisand Buck Sexton show. Got worried in from
main man Clay co host of this phenomenal program. He
is having a great time. He's on the golf course
with one of his boys, and he says he is,
you know, big hit or the Llama. He's doing very
well and enjoying himself and yeah, I'll be back with
(19:16):
us on Monday. Biggest box office bombs. Fun topic of conversation,
especially right now giving what we have just seen here
with this Batman movie. In case you were wondering, and
we got to find a way to see this thing,
I mean, somebody has to find the means to get
(19:39):
this into the public domain so that we will be
able to watch this Batman movie. They spent ninety million
dollars on a bat Girl film, ninety million dollars that
(20:00):
they just bailed on entirely. Think about this. That's a
lot of money, right, I mean, I think we could
all agree that's that's a lot of cash to lay
out for something and there's nothing coming out of it.
Morner Brothers executives have said, Well, what they're saying is
I am proud of the love of hard work and
intention of all of our incredible cast and career at YadA, YadA, YadA. Yeah,
(20:21):
this thing was a stinker, obviously, Man, I wish I
could see this. It was going to be the first
ever female Latina big budget superhero film, I think is
what they were, or maybe just the first female Latina
bat Batman, bat Girl, bat person as the case, maybe
(20:47):
this was gonna be the first time that they had
done this. So as we keep talking, about as we
keep telling you, there is this wokeness. There is this
wokeness desire that pushed is a lot of the decision
making for things like this, what gets green led as
a project, And it's not just about the bottom line, folks,
(21:08):
there are there's ideology behind this, but there's also fear.
If you're a Warner Brothers executive, if you're a Netflix
or Amazon Prime, or if you're an executive at any
of these places that are green lighting massive creative projects
and you are insufficiently woke as in pushing the transagenda,
(21:31):
as in dramatically increasing visual diversity on the screen of
you know, actors who are actors from the BIPOC community.
So you need the BIPOC community, You need the LGBTQIA
plus community to be dramatically represented, overrepresented in your projects,
(21:55):
or else you get fired. And I'll tell you a
lot of these things a lot of these media people have,
especially on the executive side. Man, you get all this
great pay. It's a hard job to get. It's a
great job to have millions of dollars stock options. You're important,
you're powerful. People suck up to you all the time.
They don't want to lose those jobs. So there's the
(22:16):
people that want to do it because they really believe
in it, and then there are the people that go
along with it or that push it because you know,
they just want to keep the house in Malibu and
the Hampton's and the ski place and Aspen and you
know all that stuff. Right, So that's how you get
to a I mean, I can't review it because they're
just deep sixing. They're just they're they're dropping the original
(22:38):
of this film in the bottom of Davy Jones's locker
right there. They're gonna take it out in the ocean
and just drop the tapes, so to speak. They were
gonna act like this never happened. That is amazing. This
is the biggest swinging a miss on a movie entirely
miss right. It's not just a box office bombs, or
when they spend a lot of money and they and
(23:00):
they lose a ton of money. That's a box office bomb.
This is something else. This is more like a box
office reactor meltdown. It's like never even never even got
out to be deployed. This is something else. So I
wish I could see it, And I'm sure at some
point someone's gonna find a way to get this thing out.
They got this movie, this Batgirl movie out there so
(23:24):
that we could all watch or check it out. But
I was looking at this, now, this is just there's
different ways that calculate this. This is off of just
the Wikipedia list. Now, Wikipedia has got a lot of politicization,
and you can't trust everything in Wikipedia. I think on
this though, on box Office Bombs is probably pretty straightforward.
But this was the first list that came up, and
(23:45):
I was just looking to see some of these. I
gotta tell you, I was pretty bummed that on this
list you have The Thirteenth Warrior with Antonio Banderis, which
is I believe loosely based on Eater of the Dead
by Michael Crichton. I could be wrong on that one,
but I saw The Thirteenth Warrior. It's not good, don't
(24:07):
get me wrong, but it's not that bad as a
movie from nineteen ninety nine. Antonio Bendaris is also playing
an Arab guy, which I feel like there's less of
that these days. Um. I remember I was I'm being serious.
In high school, we had a film study module that
wasn't really a full course, so I think they called
it a module or something like that, so it was
(24:28):
like a half we'd have once a week for an
hour or something. We had a film course and we
saw Rambo First Blood Part two, and the professor pointed
out that the a large number this is what he
told us, at least the film professor, A large number
of the extras in that movie, supposedly in Vietnam were
(24:49):
of the Latin X community, so they were miscasting people,
which now you're not you're not allowed. You know, you
won't get away with that the same way that it
used to be considered. Okay, remember the early days of
theaters there. Everything has changed so much. Let me see
forty seven Ronin never saw that one. That movie, The
(25:10):
Thirteenth Warrior lost close to one hundred one hundred million dollars.
Adjusted for inflation, there's one hundred million dollars loss. So
this Batgirl ninety million dollars loss is one of the
biggest film losses of all time and never even got released, right,
so it grossed. It's getting a zero gross and a
ninety million dollar budget. Forty seven Ronin, I don't did
(25:32):
any of you guys, I didn't even know what that
did you any of you see that or no other. No,
Ronan is a good Yeah, Ronan is a good movie.
You've heard of it? Okay, Rohan's a good movie. I
think there's m is it twenty nine assassins? Mike, would
you check from me a producer, Ali, there's a movie
like nineteen Assassins or twenty nine assassins. It's a ninja movie,
(25:54):
Samurai sort of ninja movie that is subtitled. I'm gonna
tell you right now, what's it called? Thirteen is right?
So there's The Thirteenth Warrior, which is terrible. I mean,
I kind of I look comin Antonio Banderis fans. I'm
a little bit shaky on how much, but it's not
a good movie. Thirteen Assassins is awesome. Thirteen Assassins is
(26:20):
like is like in seven Samurai category of phenomenal film
telling your producer, Mike added to the list. I mean,
first The Last Kingdom on Netflix, but then check out
thirteen assassin other ones on here, the Adventures of Pluto Nash.
This is two thousand and two that lost what's the
that lost? One hundred? Oh these aren't in order of
(26:40):
the biggest loss, so thirteen oh no, they they kind
of are inventors of Pluto? Nash with that had Eddie Murphy, Right, Yeah,
that's one of those movies where you saw the trailer.
I saw the trailer for the movie Theater. I was like,
that looks like the worst movie ever made, and I
was right, that's up there. Um, send us in by
the mcclan dot com. Please subscribe, become a subscriber, and
(27:02):
then you can send us direct emails. We'll see it.
What is for you the worst box office bomb of
all time? Now that's not the worst movie of all time,
that's a whole other conversation. But the worst box office
bomb meaning a movie that sucked and lost so much
money that you consider it the biggest bomb ever. I
mean there's a lot, a lot on this list. Battleship
(27:26):
Believe it or Not is on here, which I know
some people kind of like I thought the movie. I
was like, wait, there's just aliens, no explanation, and now
the battleships are It's almost though, so bad, it's good
and so bad. It's good. Territory Jeelie, Oh wow, Gelie
lost one hundred and six million dollars when adjusted for inflation.
That it's hard to make a movie that has basically
(27:48):
no special effects and lose that much money. The only
movie this is always I always thought this was interesting.
Cutthroat Island Still Goes Down, which had what's that guy's name?
I can't remember, isn't it yeah? Had Gina Davis. Correct.
Cutthroat Island is the only movie still to this day
in history that has the has the special distinction of
(28:13):
causing the actual shutdown of the entire studio. Like it
was so bad that not only did it bomb, but
it put a big hole in the middle of the
ship and the whole pirate ship went down with it.
The whole studio that made that movie was gone afterwards. Well,
there's a lot, there's a lot on this lad. I'm
trying to think of some of the ones that I've
(28:33):
seen or that are It is incredible how many movies
they've made that have lost one hundred million dollars. It
does give you a sense ishtar. Now that's that's kicking
at old school. But some of you remember, this is
nineteen eighty seven and it lost, It lost, adjusted for inflation,
one hundred million dollars. An adventure comedy produced by Warren
(28:55):
Beatty co star Dustin Hoffman, a duo of talented songwriters
who traveled to a booking in Morocco. One of the
worst movies of all time in terms of loss. Wow,
there's some really some amazingments on here. So anyway, this
goes right at the top, though. I mean, this is
among the biggest losses of all time. Moral of the story,
(29:15):
my friends, wokeness. It doesn't pay, It really doesn't. Just
give it. On a long enough timeline, the wokeness will
get you. We've got a fair number of people listening
to us across the country that make their living as farmers,
few jobs, few careers, few lifestyles, or as rewarding and
at the same time as difficult as being a farmer
these days, between the weather and this conversation about fertilizer shortages,
(29:39):
it's all going to influence the amount of food coming
from farms in America and it may seriously affect harvest
in the future. They will likely be a lot smaller
because of these fertilizer shortages, also going to be a
lot more expensive. That's why you need to go with
Prepare With Clay and Buck dot com, you'll save fifty

on that movie, Starcie, Is I fine? Welcome back to Claymbuck.
We're closing up shop here by the way. Go to

all of them, producer alleys in there, going through them
all every day. And we put out the call for
your cute dog photos. And we're just we're just getting
dog photos all over the place. They're gonna be going
up at Clay and buck dot com. It's just fun
to look at everyone's cute pup. I saw Tolula the
(31:10):
Frenchie a couple of days ago. She's thirteen years young,
which for a frenchie is she is very established. She
has aged like a fine wine. But yeah, because they
you know, they Frenchies usually go about ten to twelve years.
You know, dogs have very different average lifespans. Some of
the bigger dogs. I think someone told me that great
(31:33):
Danes and what are the beautiful Burners Bernie's Mountain Dog.
Beautiful dogs, but they only last about six to eight
years on average. Some people, I'm sure, have their dogs
go twelve years, twenty years, whatever. But yeah, anyway, here,
here we go. We got people are waiting, I knew,
and people are waiting in the biggest box of us bumps.
I will say this, the worst movie I have ever
(31:53):
watched in a theater was Pauly Shore's Jury Duty. I
think that's I think that's fair. It was so bad.
There were some others. I thought Vanilla Sky was like
an act of violence against my eyes and ears that
I had to sit in a theater and watch Vanillaska,
which is a Tom Cruise movie, but he's made for
(32:13):
all the love. We throw Tom Cruise for the top
gun movie. Recently, Tom Cruise has also made some wow
bad movies like Eyes Wide Shut Vanilla Sky. There was
a phase, there was a period. Hey, it can't all
be winners, all right, Kelly and Alabama? You got you?
Did you see forty seven Ronin in the theater? No?
(32:36):
Thankfully I didn't see it in the theater. I didn't
waste money on it. It's a Keyana Reeves movie, but uh,
it's something to occupy, like a Friday night when you
got nothing better to do for a couple of hours.
It's a samurai movie. Is it pretty? If he's a
watchable I mean, but I'm a big Keyanu Reeves fan.
But he's also Matrix Resurrections lost like one hundred and
fifty million dollars, which I saw later, which is not surprising.
(32:59):
But I'm big Keanu Reeves found I think John Wick
is really cool. I think The Matrix, the first Matrix
movie is for me a top ten all time action movie. Yeah,
I Kenna Reeves is just an action movie that forty
seven ronin. That's all it is. Um have you seen
John Wiggle? Yah? Yeah, who hasn't? My God? Just making
sure Kelly, just I was gonna give you some homework
(33:20):
for this weekend, buddy, but sounds like you're on it
shield time. Thank you for calling in of them. Appreciate
you man. Greg in Albany, Georgia. Thirteenth Warrior thoughts, what's up? Greg?
Continuing believe he didtos my friends? Thank you, sir. Thirteenth
Warrior was such an expensive movie to make because they
had to make it twice. That's why it was such
(33:41):
a box office financial Bob. Really Michael Crichton, Yes, Sir,
Michael Crichton reserved the rights to basically veto the movie.
If he didn't take it was close enough to book.
They made the entire movie. He watched it, he didn't
like it. They had to go remake the whole thing. Wow. Yeah.
So it is based on Eaters of the Dead, right,
(34:02):
and so that's how So that's how he got that
that power. Yeah. I actually that's one of the very
few Crichton books I have not read. Congo Sphere, Rising
Son Andromedust Rain in the Jurassic Park books. I've read
all of those by Crichton. And did you know when
I was a teenager, I never actually read Eaters of
the Dead. Maybe I'll check it out. Yeah, Antonio ben
Derris in that role was I'm not sure that was
the move. It's not. Would you agree with me? Though?
(34:24):
It's like a if you're really bored on a Saturday
at like eleven o'clock at night in your home alone,
like you can watch Thirteenth Warriors. Not that bad. I
give it more love than you do. And in fact,
every year there's a list that comes out of movies
people wish they would release on Blu Ray, and that
is always right up close to the top. Yeah, because
it's got the whole Viking thing. Thanks for calling and
(34:45):
thanks for clinging, Greg. You know, the Viking stuff always
seems to center around you know, Sperderger Ergerger up in
Norway and Sweden, and it's like they all sound like
the Swedish chef, but they're scary looking with the big
swords and axes. And then they invade England taking out
the monasteries and you know all the pillaging that goes on.
The Vikings made their way all the way down the
(35:06):
river systems of Russia. They got down to Constantinople. They
were protecting the Byzantine emperors as part of something that
became called the Varangian Guard. There were Vikings protecting the
Christian Eastern Orthodox Empire before it folded in what is
today's Istanbul. To give you a sense of how far
(35:28):
back and how far rather they went. And you know,
we think of swedishchef now. They were the badasses of
their day. Man, Vikings pretty cool stuff. Oh man, see,
we could do we could do a whole See one
day's when you look at Deep Dive podcast, we just
get everwhere to call it and talk about the biggest
box office bombs. Even more fun to talk about for
me than my favorite movies of all time, which I
(35:50):
feel like. He's pretty pretty easy list. So you're not
going to see bad Girl, I'm not going to see Batgirl.
Apparently we got that going for us, which is nice. Tame,
thanks for roll with me here on the Clay Travison
buck Sexton show. Clay sends his regards to all of you.

talk to you tomorrow, over and out.
Welcome to today's edition of The Clay Travis and Buck
Sexton Show podcast. Welcome back into the Clay Travis and
Buck Sexton Show. This is Buck solo today, Clay on
vacation with his family. Gain A Function research, the Lab,
league theory, fauci, China, a lot of big topics to
handle right now. We've got Senator rand Paul with us
(00:23):
now of Kentucky. Senator, thanks for calling in, absolutely thanks
for having me, Buck. So what are you trying to
get to the bottom off here with these hearings with
gain of Function research? What should the American people know
about this? And why are we digging deeper into it?
You know, a million Americans died, six point four million
(00:45):
people died around the world, and I'm actually just shocked
that the other side, and many on the Democrat side,
are not curious at all. Wouldn't we all want to
know if there's a chance, even a chance that this
came from the lab. Wouldn't we want to know? And
wouldn't we want more overside on the kind of research
that creates novel viruses that increase their transmissibility or increase
(01:06):
their lethality. I don't understand why anybody wouldn't want to know.
But we had yesterday the first hearing ever on gain
of function. Gain of function is when you take a
virus of known lethality and then you try to make
it more infectious or more lethal. Well, this is the
research that was going on in Wuhan, China, and we
were funding. When doctor Fauchi was asked directly about it,
(01:29):
he says, oh, no, we're not doing that. But we
had three scientists yesterday, including a scientist who's the leading
advocate for better oversight of this, who's been talking about
this since two thousand and four, He testified yesterday that
what Fauci said was false. That they were doing of
gain and function research. It was funded by the NIH
(01:50):
And interestingly, doctor Fauci's claimed that his people had reviewed
it and found it not to be gain a function
was not true either. There's a committee, a pandemic committee
that oversees these viruses and if they're supposed to be
dangerous or could cause a pandemic, they never review the
research in China. To make things matters, to make matters worse,
(02:11):
that three scientists yesterday testify that the pandemic review committee
that's supposed to prevent stuff like this from happening is secret.
We don't know the names of the scientists on it,
and their reports are secret. We do know that they've
only investigated three different research contracts, but they didn't investigate
any of the Wuhan research that was going on that
(02:33):
maywell have led to this virus and this pandemic. And
doctor Fauci and doctor Burkes and some of the others
Wilenski who have been pushing so much policy during the
COVID pandemic. I'm sure you've seen Senator Paul. They're continuing
with this you need to mask up indoors. They're continuing
(02:54):
with the belief that the vaccines work really well. What
are you going to do if Republicans have control of
the Senate and the House, which I'm hoping and this
audience is hoping, is what's going to happen relatively soon here.
What else is gonna you know, what else do you
want to chase down about COVID, about the pandemic? I mean,
you know, Ron de Santiso Florida, the governor, just reminded
(03:17):
everybody earlier this week that the health establishment of this
country thought it was okay to approve BLM riots out
in the streets while people couldn't see their sick relatives
in the hospital or hug them or touch them. What's
going to happen if you can actually hold hearings the
way you want to. We'll investigate every last bit of this.
We will subpoena all of doctor Fauci's records. We're going
(03:39):
to find out whether there was a cover up. Within
the first month, there was a letter issued by into
Lancet Scientific Journal that said it was a conspiracy theory
to indicate you believed this came from a lab. This
letter was organized by the main funder of the Wuhan
research Eco Health Alliance was funding the research. He worked
(04:00):
behind the scenes to get scientists to sign the letter
saying you're crazy if you think this came from a lab.
He was covering his butt. But we're going to find
all of this information through subpoena. As far as what
works and doesn't work, there's a host of information, in fact,
a plethora of information that shows that putting stickers on
the floor does nothing but enriched the people who make
(04:22):
the stickers, but it doesn't slow the virus down. Plexiglass
doesn't work masks don't work. Where people wore masks, and
where they didn't wear masks, they had exactly the same
transmission in states that we're under lockdown, like California versus
states like Florida that we're open. No difference in the
transmission of the illness, no difference in death rate. Ultimately,
(04:44):
So really, I think what we're gonna do is we're
going to bring in the scientist and we're going to
discuss this and have science and have evidence and have
studies presented. But we can do this again. I mean,
they about destroyed our country. The massive inflation that we're
experiencing now is because of the lock down on all
the checks that were passed out. It's being a Senator
Rand paul Off, Kentucky and Senator you mentioned inflation, the
(05:06):
checks that were passed out. What do you want to
tell people about this bill that now Joe Mansion seems
to have breathed new life into the anti inflation spending
tax bill. It's a terrible idea to raise taxes when
you're in a recession. All indications were in a recession.
(05:27):
I think we're an intercession that we'll get worse. But
the tax increases a surefire way to make your recession
worse and to exacerbate unemployment. Even Barack Obama in two
thousand and eight said we're not going to raise taxes
during a recession. Chuck Schumer used to believe this. Most
economists have said, don't raise taxes in a recession. So
it's a really bad idea. But if you think the
(05:48):
Democrats electoral prospects were bad when they passed this, prices
are going to go up. There's a special tax on
natural gas. As we enter into the fall and winter season.
We're going to see their heating bills go up and
their natural gas bills go up. Everyone, not just rich people.
Everybody's bill is going to go up. So this is
going to be a disaster for the country, and it's
(06:11):
something we can only hope that maybe one senator, Senator
Cinema might say, my goodness, do I really want to
vote for something that it's going to lead us further
into recession? Do you think there's a chance, a Senator Paul,
that Senator Cinema may back off of this. I'm seeing
that she's and I only know what I'm reading publicly,
(06:32):
but what I'm reading publicly is that she has some
doubts out part of it. If I had to guess,
she's going to maybe whittle down some of the taxes
won't be quite as bad, but the overall bill is
going to still be bad for the country. Can she
make it less bad? Perhaps? Senator, we're also here heard
all across the state of Kentucky, your home state, and
I know that there have been dozens killed in the
(06:54):
in the recent flooding. You've been following this issue very closely,
trying to get government attention and sources to help folks affected.
How is that that recovery effort going? What can you
tell us? You know, if you've seen days of pictures
of dramatic rescues by helicopter, is just out of this world.
But we have saved, you know, dozens and dozens of
(07:16):
people who might not have made it but for the
great rescue workers. You know, these are EMT helicopter pilots,
National Guard, police, fire all the first responders are just
doing an incredible job. As we do, there'll be a
long effort to clean up and to get people back
into houses, shelter, food, etc. Clothing, and then really as
we get beyond that, one of the things I'm already
(07:38):
starting to talk about is whether or not, you know,
we have great sophistication in measuring rainfall and predicting rainfall
and tornadoes. Certainly, as we measure rivers rising, maybe there
needs to be a secondary sort of alarm system. It
can be the same tornado alarm system, but maybe it
goes off such that people are saying they're now telling
us the second alarm means the river's gone up three inches,
(08:00):
and within the next hour, there's a chance that's in
my house centator. How quickly did this come on? For
people that maybe don't know, maybe don't know the story,
the background, how quickly did this flood happen? We had
ten and a half to eleven inches in the space
of several hours. Now you'll see that sometimes on the
Gulf Coast and hurricanes. I grew up in the Houston area,
(08:21):
and I remember getting twenty seven inches in four days,
and that's a lot of rain, and you'd have standing
rain on the ground, but Houston's flat, whereas this is
all the rain is collected. So if you have ten
inches of rain, but all of the area of ten
inches of rain for miles and miles drains into one
gully or one holler. You can see the effects can be,
you know, fifty feet of water rising in a matter
(08:43):
of hours. And I think it truly was this And
it was also particularly unfortunate because of the rain was
coming in the evening and past midnight, so a lot
of the flooding was occurring after midnight when people are
are asleep and not maybe as aware of the warnings
centator around. Paul Leways, appreciate your time, Thanks for calling in.
Thanks Block. Plenty of men and women in this country
(09:05):
are experiencing chronic pain, my friends. It happens as we
get older, we push ourselves a little bit or just
physically demanding things day to day. So how do you
find relief from that pain, which is often caused by inflammation.
The solution is relief Factor, one percent drug free with
just four all natural ingredients. I'm at the gym Fairmount
these days, trying to get back into shape like I
(09:27):
was years ago, and it feels great and happy with
the results so far. Could be a little faster, but
I've got some pain from all the over exertion, particularly
my left shoulder. That's where relief Factor helps me out.
The first three weeks of taking it have really made
a difference. Relief Factor is created by doctors, perfected and
backed by over fifteen years of scientific research. Join them.
(09:47):
More than half a million people who have tried relief Factor.
In order the three week quickstart for only nineteen ninety five.
Go to relief Factor dot com. Recall eight hundred four
relief one more times. You can get the web address
relief Factor dot Com. We can call this phone number.
Try it today, eight hundred the number four Relief relief Factor.
(10:08):
Feel the different. Welcome back into the Clay Travis and
Buck Sexton Show. We just talked to Senator Rampaul really
interesting about the gain to function research hearings on Capitol
Hill that he is spearheading. But I mentioned this I
wanted you to hear it. Rhonda Santis recently pointed out,
you just can't trust the public health authorities in this
country because of politicization. They are the political bent of
(10:36):
the public health expert, usually with a blue check, several
masks and several Ukraine flags and suggested pronouns on Twitter
and Facebook, etc. This is something that we've all seen,
all very aware of it, and every American should be
reminded of the fact that the public health experts, including Fauci,
(11:01):
thought that after telling us for months, your graduation is canceled,
your funeral for your relative, canceled, your wedding, canceled restaurants,
shut down businesses, shut down, mask up on planes, or
we will ban you from the airline forever and arrest
(11:21):
you because this virus is so serious. Oh but if
you want to have thousands of people go out on
the streets and loot and pillage and destroy in the
name of BLM, the public health expert said that was
really important, that was necessary for society during the pandemic.
They said it, they did, don't forget it. And here's
(11:44):
Governor Ron de Santras reminding everybody they would shame people
for even leaving their house April May twenty twenty, and
you can't do it. And seeing some people wanted to
bury loved ones, they wanted to do this, and the
argument people were making is, well, wait a minute, I
can look at the risk of COVID and it's something
that I'm willing to accept because these things mean more
(12:04):
to me. To be able to bury a loved one
or to be able to do things with my family,
and the public health established, oh no, no, you can't
make that kind of cost benefit analysis. Then when the
George Floyd riots were happening, they actually wrote a letter
with thousands of these people signing. It's saying, we do
not believe that rioting and protesting is bad for COVID,
(12:26):
that you can do it, go ahead, because we think
it's so important that you have to do it. And
then they said, but this doesn't mean we support all protests.
If you're protesting lockdown policies or other things, then you
can't do that. And that's when I knew these people
are a bunch of frauds. It's true, and that was
a red pill moment for everybody who likes to live
(12:47):
in reality and cares about the truth. The public health
establishment engaged in a mass act of self immolation of
their credibility as soon as that happened. I mean, they
were it was so obvious, so brazen that they're just
a bunch of ideologue libs that happen to have a
(13:09):
public health degree or an MD or whatever the case
may be. But when they're politics, you know, when their
political choices come into play, your health matters a whole
lot less or their health directives all of a sudden,
were far more malleable, far more subjective circumstance. Sure, and
(13:29):
then there's this from the Biden administration. They just declared
the Biden administration just declared monkey pox, which is still
what everyone's calling it. An they're trying to come up
with a new name because monkey pox they think is offensive.
Whatever is smallpox offensive? We got to change all We're
gonna change all the names of all the viruses. I'm
(13:49):
just wondering, no notice, No one thinks lyme disease is offensive.
That's okay, even though it's named after a place, Spanish flu.
I mean, yeah, the Spanish influenza. It is kind of unfair.
It didn't come from Spain, but you know, that's just
what everyone calls it. That's not considered offensive though. But
monkeypox has been declared a national health emergency by the
(14:12):
Biden administration as of today. This is interesting because the
Washington Post, it's a few minutes ago, put this out.
Sex is a major driver of the monkey pox the
global monkey pox outbreak, but health officials and long time
HIV activists say calls for abstinence don't work. Okay, let's
(14:34):
let's take a moment, shall we. Since we have this
health apparatus, now, that's all about keeping you safe and
just the science and the truth. It's not calls for
abstinence that anyone is talking about here. It is calls
for it calls for abstaining from group sex with strangers.
(14:57):
That is what is actually under discussion. Okay, No, they're
not saying you've got to be celibate the rest of
your life to avoid monkey pox. They are saying, and
I cannot even describe some of the practices where there
have been spreading events of monkey pox on the radio.
I can't do it. I mean it would be a violation.
(15:18):
But essentially, don't have sex with ten people in a
week is the guidance that I want to remind everybody.
This is what's being debated right now. And the CDC
is worried about the stigmatizing effect of that guidance, which
I think is just good guidance as a general rule.
(15:40):
I'll just put that out there. But even beyond that,
if this is about health, the politics shouldn't matter. You're
trying to save people. There's about a five percent fatality
rate from monkey pox, which is not which is not
super high. It's not like something it's not like smallpox,
for example, which is a much more virile, much more
dangerous box but you know, which I think was about
(16:03):
forty percent of people who'd get thirty to forty percent
of people got smallpox would die from it. But five
percent is very high. As we know the in the
Grant scheme of data and virology and epidemiology, you have
a less than one percent fatality rate from COVID, far
less than one percent actually, So you really don't want
(16:25):
to get monkey pocks. So it's important to help people
avoid the getting of monkey pocks, in which there's been
thousands of cases. Now they're declaring a health emergency, so
they're saying it's really important to stop this. They're saying
it's really dangerous. They've got to be willing to tell
us the truth. Then they've got to be willing to
look at what is actually going on now and say, hey,
(16:47):
you know this is For example, they've mentioned HIV. If
you were an intravenous drug user, your risk of HIV
for a long time was astronomically higher than the general
population would it have been. Oh, but you know, drug
is an addiction, and we don't want to stigmatize drug
(17:07):
users who want them to get treatment, so we don't
want know. You need to tell people on health matters
the truth and right now, just the same way that
with COVID, what was the super high risk factor age?
And then wait, but age was number one. Now you
can't do anything about age, right Your age is your age.
But that's a very high risk factor. For policy reasons,
(17:27):
it was important for us to know that and discuss it.
What is the primary risk factor for monkeypox right now?
Having sex with a lot of partners that you do
not know in a very short period of time, essentially
orgies avoid orgies? Important public health guidance on this issue.
(17:50):
Why won't they just say it? Twenty two years ago
next month, we suffered our largest terrorist attack on our soil,
September eleventh, two thousand and one. Since then, the Tunne
Oftha Towers Foundation has been helping families of fallen soldiers,
first responders, and men and women fighting the war on terrorism.
In many cases, they've been able to help pay off
the mortgages of homes lived in by surviving families. It's
(18:13):
their promise to do good and never forget the sacrifices
America's heroes have made for us. These heroes now need
your help. That's GoldStar and fallen first responder families with children,
and our nation's most catastrophically injured first responders and veterans,
even our service members who are homeless. US Marine Corps
Corporal Christopher Greer was a firefighter in emt in Tennessee.
(18:34):
When he was deployed to Afghanistan. He gave his life
serving our country. Tunneltha Towers was able to pay off
the Greer family mortgage. Donate eleven dollars a month. Now
join Clay and me. Every month we're donated to Tunne
of the Towers. Go to T two t dot org.
That's t the number two t dot org. Welcome back
(18:56):
to Clay travisand Buck Sexton show. Got worried in from
main man Clay co host of this phenomenal program. He
is having a great time. He's on the golf course
with one of his boys, and he says he is,
you know, big hit or the Llama. He's doing very
well and enjoying himself and yeah, I'll be back with
(19:16):
us on Monday. Biggest box office bombs. Fun topic of conversation,
especially right now giving what we have just seen here
with this Batman movie. In case you were wondering, and
we got to find a way to see this thing,
I mean, somebody has to find the means to get
(19:39):
this into the public domain so that we will be
able to watch this Batman movie. They spent ninety million
dollars on a bat Girl film, ninety million dollars that
(20:00):
they just bailed on entirely. Think about this. That's a
lot of money, right, I mean, I think we could
all agree that's that's a lot of cash to lay
out for something and there's nothing coming out of it.
Morner Brothers executives have said, Well, what they're saying is
I am proud of the love of hard work and
intention of all of our incredible cast and career at YadA, YadA, YadA. Yeah,
(20:21):
this thing was a stinker, obviously, Man, I wish I
could see this. It was going to be the first
ever female Latina big budget superhero film, I think is
what they were, or maybe just the first female Latina
bat Batman, bat Girl, bat person as the case, maybe
(20:47):
this was gonna be the first time that they had
done this. So as we keep talking, about as we
keep telling you, there is this wokeness. There is this
wokeness desire that pushed is a lot of the decision
making for things like this, what gets green led as
a project, And it's not just about the bottom line, folks,
(21:08):
there are there's ideology behind this, but there's also fear.
If you're a Warner Brothers executive, if you're a Netflix
or Amazon Prime, or if you're an executive at any
of these places that are green lighting massive creative projects
and you are insufficiently woke as in pushing the transagenda,
(21:31):
as in dramatically increasing visual diversity on the screen of
you know, actors who are actors from the BIPOC community.
So you need the BIPOC community, You need the LGBTQIA
plus community to be dramatically represented, overrepresented in your projects,
(21:55):
or else you get fired. And I'll tell you a
lot of these things a lot of these media people have,
especially on the executive side. Man, you get all this
great pay. It's a hard job to get. It's a
great job to have millions of dollars stock options. You're important,
you're powerful. People suck up to you all the time.
They don't want to lose those jobs. So there's the
(22:16):
people that want to do it because they really believe
in it, and then there are the people that go
along with it or that push it because you know,
they just want to keep the house in Malibu and
the Hampton's and the ski place and Aspen and you
know all that stuff. Right, So that's how you get
to a I mean, I can't review it because they're
just deep sixing. They're just they're they're dropping the original
(22:38):
of this film in the bottom of Davy Jones's locker
right there. They're gonna take it out in the ocean
and just drop the tapes, so to speak. They were
gonna act like this never happened. That is amazing. This
is the biggest swinging a miss on a movie entirely
miss right. It's not just a box office bombs, or
when they spend a lot of money and they and
(23:00):
they lose a ton of money. That's a box office bomb.
This is something else. This is more like a box
office reactor meltdown. It's like never even never even got
out to be deployed. This is something else. So I
wish I could see it, And I'm sure at some
point someone's gonna find a way to get this thing out.
They got this movie, this Batgirl movie out there so
(23:24):
that we could all watch or check it out. But
I was looking at this, now, this is just there's
different ways that calculate this. This is off of just
the Wikipedia list. Now, Wikipedia has got a lot of politicization,
and you can't trust everything in Wikipedia. I think on
this though, on box Office Bombs is probably pretty straightforward.
But this was the first list that came up, and
(23:45):
I was just looking to see some of these. I
gotta tell you, I was pretty bummed that on this
list you have The Thirteenth Warrior with Antonio Banderis, which
is I believe loosely based on Eater of the Dead
by Michael Crichton. I could be wrong on that one,
but I saw The Thirteenth Warrior. It's not good, don't
(24:07):
get me wrong, but it's not that bad as a
movie from nineteen ninety nine. Antonio Bendaris is also playing
an Arab guy, which I feel like there's less of
that these days. Um. I remember I was I'm being serious.
In high school, we had a film study module that
wasn't really a full course, so I think they called
it a module or something like that, so it was
(24:28):
like a half we'd have once a week for an
hour or something. We had a film course and we
saw Rambo First Blood Part two, and the professor pointed
out that the a large number this is what he
told us, at least the film professor, A large number
of the extras in that movie, supposedly in Vietnam were
(24:49):
of the Latin X community, so they were miscasting people,
which now you're not you're not allowed. You know, you
won't get away with that the same way that it
used to be considered. Okay, remember the early days of
theaters there. Everything has changed so much. Let me see
forty seven Ronin never saw that one. That movie, The
(25:10):
Thirteenth Warrior lost close to one hundred one hundred million dollars.
Adjusted for inflation, there's one hundred million dollars loss. So
this Batgirl ninety million dollars loss is one of the
biggest film losses of all time and never even got released, right,
so it grossed. It's getting a zero gross and a
ninety million dollar budget. Forty seven Ronin, I don't did
(25:32):
any of you guys, I didn't even know what that
did you any of you see that or no other. No,
Ronan is a good Yeah, Ronan is a good movie.
You've heard of it? Okay, Rohan's a good movie. I
think there's m is it twenty nine assassins? Mike, would
you check from me a producer, Ali, there's a movie
like nineteen Assassins or twenty nine assassins. It's a ninja movie,
(25:54):
Samurai sort of ninja movie that is subtitled. I'm gonna
tell you right now, what's it called? Thirteen is right?
So there's The Thirteenth Warrior, which is terrible. I mean,
I kind of I look comin Antonio Banderis fans. I'm
a little bit shaky on how much, but it's not
a good movie. Thirteen Assassins is awesome. Thirteen Assassins is
(26:20):
like is like in seven Samurai category of phenomenal film
telling your producer, Mike added to the list. I mean,
first The Last Kingdom on Netflix, but then check out
thirteen assassin other ones on here, the Adventures of Pluto Nash.
This is two thousand and two that lost what's the
that lost? One hundred? Oh these aren't in order of
(26:40):
the biggest loss, so thirteen oh no, they they kind
of are inventors of Pluto? Nash with that had Eddie Murphy, Right, Yeah,
that's one of those movies where you saw the trailer.
I saw the trailer for the movie Theater. I was like,
that looks like the worst movie ever made, and I
was right, that's up there. Um, send us in by

What is for you the worst box office bomb of
all time? Now that's not the worst movie of all time,
that's a whole other conversation. But the worst box office
bomb meaning a movie that sucked and lost so much
money that you consider it the biggest bomb ever. I
mean there's a lot, a lot on this list. Battleship
(27:26):
Believe it or Not is on here, which I know
some people kind of like I thought the movie. I
was like, wait, there's just aliens, no explanation, and now
the battleships are It's almost though, so bad, it's good
and so bad. It's good. Territory Jeelie, Oh wow, Gelie
lost one hundred and six million dollars when adjusted for inflation.
That it's hard to make a movie that has basically
(27:48):
no special effects and lose that much money. The only
movie this is always I always thought this was interesting.
Cutthroat Island Still Goes Down, which had what's that guy's name?
I can't remember, isn't it yeah? Had Gina Davis. Correct.
Cutthroat Island is the only movie still to this day
in history that has the has the special distinction of
(28:13):
causing the actual shutdown of the entire studio. Like it
was so bad that not only did it bomb, but
it put a big hole in the middle of the
ship and the whole pirate ship went down with it.
The whole studio that made that movie was gone afterwards. Well,
there's a lot, there's a lot on this lad. I'm
trying to think of some of the ones that I've
(28:33):
seen or that are It is incredible how many movies
they've made that have lost one hundred million dollars. It
does give you a sense ishtar. Now that's that's kicking
at old school. But some of you remember, this is
nineteen eighty seven and it lost, It lost, adjusted for inflation,
one hundred million dollars. An adventure comedy produced by Warren
(28:55):
Beatty co star Dustin Hoffman, a duo of talented songwriters
who traveled to a booking in Morocco. One of the
worst movies of all time in terms of loss. Wow,
there's some really some amazingments on here. So anyway, this
goes right at the top, though. I mean, this is
among the biggest losses of all time. Moral of the story,
(29:15):
my friends, wokeness. It doesn't pay, It really doesn't. Just
give it. On a long enough timeline, the wokeness will
get you. We've got a fair number of people listening
to us across the country that make their living as farmers,
few jobs, few careers, few lifestyles, or as rewarding and
at the same time as difficult as being a farmer
these days, between the weather and this conversation about fertilizer shortages,
(29:39):
it's all going to influence the amount of food coming
from farms in America and it may seriously affect harvest
in the future. They will likely be a lot smaller
because of these fertilizer shortages, also going to be a
lot more expensive. That's why you need to go with

to look at everyone's cute pup. I saw Tolula the
(31:10):
Frenchie a couple of days ago. She's thirteen years young,
which for a frenchie is she is very established. She
has aged like a fine wine. But yeah, because they
you know, they Frenchies usually go about ten to twelve years.
You know, dogs have very different average lifespans. Some of
the bigger dogs. I think someone told me that great
(31:33):
Danes and what are the beautiful Burners Bernie's Mountain Dog.
Beautiful dogs, but they only last about six to eight
years on average. Some people, I'm sure, have their dogs
go twelve years, twenty years, whatever. But yeah, anyway, here,
here we go. We got people are waiting, I knew,
and people are waiting in the biggest box of us bumps.
I will say this, the worst movie I have ever
(31:53):
watched in a theater was Pauly Shore's Jury Duty. I
think that's I think that's fair. It was so bad.
There were some others. I thought Vanilla Sky was like
an act of violence against my eyes and ears that
I had to sit in a theater and watch Vanillaska,
which is a Tom Cruise movie, but he's made for
(32:13):
all the love. We throw Tom Cruise for the top
gun movie. Recently, Tom Cruise has also made some wow
bad movies like Eyes Wide Shut Vanilla Sky. There was
a phase, there was a period. Hey, it can't all
be winners, all right, Kelly and Alabama? You got you?
Did you see forty seven Ronin in the theater? No?
(32:36):
Thankfully I didn't see it in the theater. I didn't
waste money on it. It's a Keyana Reeves movie, but uh,
it's something to occupy, like a Friday night when you
got nothing better to do for a couple of hours.
It's a samurai movie. Is it pretty? If he's a
watchable I mean, but I'm a big Keyanu Reeves fan.
But he's also Matrix Resurrections lost like one hundred and
fifty million dollars, which I saw later, which is not surprising.
(32:59):
But I'm big Keanu Reeves found I think John Wick
is really cool. I think The Matrix, the first Matrix
movie is for me a top ten all time action movie. Yeah,
I Kenna Reeves is just an action movie that forty
seven ronin. That's all it is. Um have you seen
John Wiggle? Yah? Yeah, who hasn't? My God? Just making
sure Kelly, just I was gonna give you some homework
(33:20):
for this weekend, buddy, but sounds like you're on it
shield time. Thank you for calling in of them. Appreciate
you man. Greg in Albany, Georgia. Thirteenth Warrior thoughts, what's up? Greg?
Continuing believe he didtos my friends? Thank you, sir. Thirteenth
Warrior was such an expensive movie to make because they
had to make it twice. That's why it was such
(33:41):
a box office financial Bob. Really Michael Crichton, Yes, Sir,
Michael Crichton reserved the rights to basically veto the movie.
If he didn't take it was close enough to book.
They made the entire movie. He watched it, he didn't
like it. They had to go remake the whole thing. Wow. Yeah.
So it is based on Eaters of the Dead, right,
(34:02):
and so that's how So that's how he got that
that power. Yeah. I actually that's one of the very
few Crichton books I have not read. Congo Sphere, Rising
Son Andromedust Rain in the Jurassic Park books. I've read
all of those by Crichton. And did you know when
I was a teenager, I never actually read Eaters of
the Dead. Maybe I'll check it out. Yeah, Antonio ben
Derris in that role was I'm not sure that was
the move. It's not. Would you agree with me? Though?
(34:24):
It's like a if you're really bored on a Saturday
at like eleven o'clock at night in your home alone,
like you can watch Thirteenth Warriors. Not that bad. I
give it more love than you do. And in fact,
every year there's a list that comes out of movies
people wish they would release on Blu Ray, and that
is always right up close to the top. Yeah, because
it's got the whole Viking thing. Thanks for calling and
(34:45):
thanks for clinging, Greg. You know, the Viking stuff always
seems to center around you know, Sperderger Ergerger up in
Norway and Sweden, and it's like they all sound like
the Swedish chef, but they're scary looking with the big
swords and axes. And then they invade England taking out
the monasteries and you know all the pillaging that goes on.
The Vikings made their way all the way down the
(35:06):
river systems of Russia. They got down to Constantinople. They
were protecting the Byzantine emperors as part of something that
became called the Varangian Guard. There were Vikings protecting the
Christian Eastern Orthodox Empire before it folded in what is
today's Istanbul. To give you a sense of how far
(35:28):
back and how far rather they went. And you know,
we think of swedishchef now. They were the badasses of
their day. Man, Vikings pretty cool stuff. Oh man, see,
we could do we could do a whole See one
day's when you look at Deep Dive podcast, we just
get everwhere to call it and talk about the biggest
box office bombs. Even more fun to talk about for
me than my favorite movies of all time, which I
