Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome to today's edition of The Clay Travis and Buck
Sexton Show podcast. It's Thursday, everybody, It's time for the
Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show. Our buddy Clay given
us the updates from Italy, having a great time on
vacation with the family, to be back with us next week.
So you're rocking out with me today tomorrow solo, and

(00:21):
we have oh so much to discuss. I'm excited about it.
Come of it. Not particularly good news, but it's news
stuff you need to know. And then there's a whole
lot of politics, national security analysis that we will be
getting into, some wokeness. Much much to discuss here, all right,

(00:41):
let's start with where we're heading. First, Republic Bank shares
plunge thirty five percent today, as Goldman Sachs, the massive
investment bank, perhaps the most powerful investment bank in the world,
says a recession warning should be flash for everybody right now. Yeah,

(01:02):
not a shock. That was something that I wanted to
just bring to your attention because the banks you got yelling,
You got people going out there saying just don't panic.
You gotta keep your composure. And I don't know how
many of these banks got on the wrong side of
the interest rate issue and got into either mortgages that

(01:27):
were that they bought as investments or even treasury bonds.
Will be looking at that, my friends. You also have
Rhonda Santis announcing that we in the state of Florida
are going to be enacting constitutional carry points on the board.
My friends, this is really what you're going to see

(01:47):
playing out in this Republican primary. Rhonda Santis, assuming he runs,
and we are all assuming at this point that he's
going to run, is going to be the I get
stuff done that I say I'm going to get done
and it benefits you, candidate. You can evaluate that as
you will, but he's making a pretty strong case for
it down here in the state of Florida, that's for sure.

(02:10):
Montana's lieutenant governor on sex changes for miners said, well, basically,
when the kids tell you what they want, you have
to listen to them to be a good parent. You'll
hear that sound by a little bit later. I am
not yet a parent, but I do think it's pretty
clear from all the good parents that I know that

(02:31):
doing whatever your kid says is not a good idea
and affirming whatever they tell you is actually not how
you parent well. Biden, by the way, is demanding that
TikTok be sold or will be banned. So that is
I'm sorry, did I said Montana? I met Minnesota? Whoops?
The lieutenant governor of Minnesota. Right there we go. And

(02:55):
also we have a sunny Houston here telling us that
she hasn't been to a grocery store in three years
because of COVID. Oh and a guy on a plane,
a wealthy fellow on a plane, a tech tycoon, offered
a woman a hundred thousand dollars one hundred thousand dollars

(03:19):
to just take her mask off for the duration of
the flight. This has gone viral. Not all heroes wear capes.
They certainly don't wear masks. This guy is pretty funny.
We'll talk about that and just a little bit. I
wanted to start, though, with an update on the drone
situation from yesterday. It is remarkable how quickly first let

(03:43):
me tell you what the news is of this, and
then we can get into a bit more of the
why does this matter? Where is this taking all of us?
So you had the Secretary of Defense, Lloyd Austin, while
we were on area yesterday and I brought you a
little bit of the commentary that or the statement that
he made, and also Chairman merely talking about what happened

(04:05):
with this drone. It turns out our our pilot caller
yesterday we had a fighter pilot call in and say,
you know, you probably could a drone is quite fragile
and you probably could clip it with a Russian sequoy
fighter aircraft and bring it down. It looks like that
is as of now at least what happened. There's actually

(04:27):
video of it. It's pretty remarkable. It makes sense though. Right,
there's a drone, so the drone has surveillance cameras on
the whole point of the drone is to see stuff
and pick up measurements. Right, it's a surveillance drone. So
there's video and the plane basically looks like it slams
right into or near enough the drone that it brought
it down. So that's that's the update on it. It

(04:51):
was interesting though, because yesterday you had you had Joint
Chiefs Chairman Mark Millie, when he was asked about whether
this downing of the drone was an active war, he
did not want to give any definitive statement on a
play clip bit. I can tell you with certainty though,
that we have absolute evidence of the contact ME to

(05:13):
SUP sutcetera. And it's very aggressive. You've heard about the
dumping of the fuel and everything else. We have video
evidence of all that. So um, there's there's no question
that that part of its intentional as far as an
active war goes, I'm not gonna I'm not gonna go there.
Incidents happen, and clearly we do not seek armed conflict
with Russia, and I believe that at this point we
should investigate this incident and move on from there. I

(05:36):
thought that was interesting. He says he's not going to
go there, and then he kind of goes there, and
it's like, I don't I'm not going to get into this. Look,
we are in a situation where the I want to
I want to step back from just this moment to
remind everybody how we got here in the first place.
Twenty sixteen, the entire Democrat apparatus is completely convinced that

(06:03):
Hillary Clinton has about a one hundred percent chance of
becoming the next president of the United States. As we know,
that did not happen, and they came up with this
crazy and it really was crazy story about Trump working
with Russia, and you know, the Russians maybe they hacked
voting machines, or the Russians, you know, engaged in some

(06:24):
disinformation campaign. They spent some money on Facebook, there were
some bots whatever that Russia helped Trump steal the election.
And so then it became mandatory for Democrats who wanted
to be in good standing to view all things Russia
as the most monstrous and horrible of any country in

(06:44):
the world. You know, if you had asked a Democrat
who had voted for Hillary Clinton, who was going on
MSNBC or whatever. First of all, they clearly thought it
was a bigger threat than China, which is which is crazy.
But if you had even said, you know, who's a
bigger threat to international stud ability, Russia or North Korea?
What have been Russia? Right? So they created a mass

(07:06):
hysteria within the Democrat Party about Russia, and that has
dramatically impacted the relationship and the perception of the relationship
that certainly Democrats and a lot of Republicans have about
the US and Russia and pushed it in in an
irrationally negative direction. And so we no longer have the

(07:29):
kind of relationship with Russia where yeah, of course Putin's
a thug. All this stuff is true. A lot she
is at the she meaning Jijinping is a thug. I
mean a lot of a lot of these governments that
we have to do. What do we think of the
Saudi regime? Not exactly democratically elected, is it right? There
are plenty of authoritarians we have to do business with
that we have to work with, and we do so

(07:52):
because it is ultimately in the interests of the American people,
because that is what we care about. I don't know
you even say it is an America first perspective. Isn't
it fascinating that Donald Trump was able to turn around
the phrase America first was a was a pejorative. You know,

(08:13):
it was America first. You take it all the way
back and people will talk about Charles Lindbergh and but
even to use the phrase America first isolationist and worse
than that isolationists and worse. But hold on, that's the
most succinct way to put the mentality that we should

(08:33):
have in this country when we're looking at American foreign
politic and interest, which is what is to the benefit
of the American people. That's step one. Sure, there are
other considerations. We want to be, you know, a kind
and just and good people, and good stewards of the environment,
and good neighbors to the rest of the world. All that, yes,
of course, but priority number one. But what's fascinating is

(08:55):
that Democrats, in part because of the Russia collusion, delusion
and their irrational hatred of Russia, they no longer can
see the ups and downs of this. It's just Russia
is the bad guy. We have to do anything we
can to crush Putin and the Kremlin, and that is

(09:17):
our first priority. And you sit there, you say, well,
hold on a second, how did we get to that point.
I keep talking to conservatives about this issue, including a
lot of veterans, and one thing that we all seem
to agree on is of the Ukrainian people. They were invaded.
It's wrong. What Russia has done is awful. We're rooting
for Ukraine to be able to fight, but we also

(09:39):
want to at least be able to have a conversation
about one how much of this is supposed to be
US funded and backed. Hey, we might be heading into
a recession, folks, Not just according to me, according to Goldman,
Sachs and pretty much everybody who's paying attention, and you
may be struggling to pay your bills. Biden wants to

(10:00):
raise your taxes. We all know this. Oh, it'll just
be for the fat cats. When has that ever been true.
It's never true. Biden wants to make it so that
you have less money to spend because he knows how
to spend your money better, and that includes spending one
hundred billion dollars a year on the war in Ukraine.
You might start to think, hold on a second, is

(10:21):
that really in the primary interest? Well, what matters more
to the American people that you can pay your rent
or that we are sending enough javelin missiles to Ukraine.
I think that's a fair conversation. No, people say, oh,
we can walk and chew gum at the same time.
One hundred billion dollars a lot of money. Actually, one
hundred billion dollars matters even in US budgetary terms a year.

(10:44):
Keep in mind, there is no chance of this conflict
ending anytime soon. The people who keep saying Russia is
almost defeated have said it every three months, maybe every
two months, since the beginning of this war. Basically ever
since Russia didn't take Kiev or Kiev as we're now
are all supposed to call it. So they've been wrong
over and over again. Russia is not about to be

(11:05):
exhausted or defeated. That is a fantasy. So can we
have a forth right and honest discussion about what are
really the interest that we have and how far are
we willing to go? Well, the answers no. They want
you just like we saw with COVID and so many
other things. They want to silence you. They want to
shut you down. You are a Russian stooge. You're a
Russian stooge if you question the extent that American tax

(11:29):
dollars should go to fund a war thousands of miles away.
And when they are asked how this is in the
American interest, you have Lloyd also, the Secretary Defense, saying
something that's very similar to what we've heard from others Biden,
Kamala Harris. It's this very vague stuff that sounds like
what you'd hear from somebody in a high school model

(11:51):
UN conference about the international rules based order. Play seven.
In terms of the importance of Ukraine. First of all,
we've seen bike parts support for providing security assistance to
Ukraine throughout up to this point. I expect that we
will continue to see that going forward. We've heard some
senior leaders on both sides of the fence say that

(12:13):
this is about the rules based international order. It's about
one country's ability to wake up one day and change
the borders of its neighbor and NX its neighbor is
sovereign territory. And as we've seen, countries around the world
don't think that's a good idea. This is about the
rules based international order. Okay. Interesting, So when he says

(12:40):
that that's the justification, first of all, the fact that
has bipartisan support, that's not an answer. And I don't
care when we're asking a question when someone saying why
why is this? Every time I ask or I hear
someone try to answer the why is this a key
US national security interest? The response is not compelling. They say, oh, well,

(13:02):
they'll go into NATO countries afterwards, they'll invade Poland afterwards.
That is crazy. Look at the trouble they're having just
with US financial and material backing in Ukraine. So they're
not just gonna take on Poland, They're gonna take on
all of NATO. Next, that is lunacy. But people say it,
People who think they're really smart say it, Oh yeah,

(13:23):
that Poland is next. Okay. But then they say something
about the international rules based order or something that sounds
like it comes from a boilered plate UN conference. And
I sit here and I say, okay, if that's so true,
if we should have done all this, why was it
that under the Obama administration? Under the Obama administration, there

(13:47):
was a fear of sending Javelin anti tech missiles and
drag it off sniper rifles to the Ukrainian military because
it would have been considered provocative to Russia and contrary
to American interests to Russia had already effectively invaded a
part of eastern Ukraine. After Russia had taken Crimea. How

(14:09):
much worse? I ask you this, how much did it
matter to your life that Crimea became a part of
the Russian Federation years ago? I think we all know
the answer to that. How much did it affect your life,
your safety, your financial security, your future when Eastern Ukraine
fell under the dominion of the Russian Federation in all

(14:30):
but official name, and the fighting continued on for seven years.
The answer is it didn't matter to you. Ah. But
now it's supposed to be all or nothing. You see,
no one's rooting for Russia here. No one is blind
to the realities of the Russian aggression and the thuggishness
of Vladimir Putin. We're trying to look at what, first

(14:51):
of all, was the bipartisan consensus on this, even under
the Obama administration. Interesting the Trump administration, it's got real
for a while. But anyway, under the Obama administration sees
crimea and do all this stuff okay, and end at
the end of the Bush administration, by the way, you
can talk about what happened in South Assetia and Abkhazia

(15:12):
and in Georgia effectively little pieces of that taken off.
But now we're supposed to believe this is a key
national security issue for us, instead of saying, because this
is what I offer in response, we need a negotiated
settlement and Ukraine is going to lose some territory in it.

(15:33):
How about that how many lives could be saved there
at how many hundreds of billions of dollars could be
saved of the taxpayer if we took that approach. Does
it feel good? No? Is it justice? Not really? But
saving lives in order to exchange territory. That is basically
the history of all warfare and humanity, stretching back for

(15:54):
quite a long time. Right. You end wars through negotiation
and settlement, and often that includes an exchange of territory.
We can't even talk about that right now. You know,
the world's in turmoil, that's for sure. The failures in
the banking system are teaching people lessons right now about
unforeseen consequences, and the federal government looks like, well, what

(16:15):
are they going to do? Remember the lines outside supermarkets
just three years ago during COVID they could start again. Yeah,
we had to stand six feet apart. That's stupidity. Put
yourself in a position of being self sufficient and self
reliant now, don't wait for a crisis to hit. That's
why we are recommending stocking up on emergency food. It's
just a thing you need to have at home because
someday you melt. I mean you may well need it,

(16:37):
but you gotta have it now. Go to my Patriot

The Vice President Kamala Harris on her feelings when it
comes to the war in Ukraine. She waited in. She

(17:19):
waited in, and she wanted to criticize rom DeSantis on this.
That is a debate. Just put aside. You know who's
running for what a Harris descantist debate. I would pay
a large amount of money to see personally. I would
make substantial donations to affiliated charities. I would love to
see that. We'll get into that. And then also Sonny

(17:41):
Houstin saying she hasn't been to grocery store in three
years because she's afraid of COVID. That's yeah, that's going on.
Don't fall for the free phone deals from rising At
and T or T Mobile it's another trick to lock
you into a long term contract that's going to cost
you a small fortune every month. Instead, get a brand
new iPhone twelve from Pure Talk for just twelve bucks

(18:02):
a month at zero percent interest and no contract. With
Pure talks thirty dollars plan you can cancel or leave
at any time. Get a new iPhone Ultra fast five

That's why I'm a Pure Talk customer, and that's why
you should be too. Just dial pound two fifty say
Clay and Buck, and Pure Talks US based customer service

(18:22):

it says Pure Talk. That's my cell phone company. Go
with them, save a whole lot of money. Dial pound
two five zero from your phone, Say Clay and Buck.

(18:43):
That's pound two five zero, say Clay and Buck. Pure
Talk is simply smarter wireless. I know that Rhonda Santists
weighed in recently with his foreign policy view of the
situation in Ukraine, and I thought it was nuanced, sendable,
and showed a grasp of all all the different things

(19:06):
to consider, you know, equities in DC speak, right, we
call everything equities now. But Kamala Harris disagrees with the
approach of Ron de Santists And I think just to
remind everybody of the kinds of people who were in charge. Remember,
Joe Biden was brought onto the Obama ticket to be

(19:29):
the brilliant mind of foreign policy. Let that sink in
for a second. True story. Joe Biden was the foreign
policy guy in the Biden Oh. And of course that
mattered too because when he was vice president, what was
part of his portfolio and the Obama administration, oh, Ukraine,
which is why there's that video of him saying that

(19:52):
he demanded the firing of a special prosecutor in Ukraine
or else a billion dollars loan guarantee. Yeah, that Joe
just coincidentally the same country that was paying his crack
addict Boa and tighty Whitey's clad son eighty thousand dollars

(20:12):
a month. Right, Just that is a coui the same
way that the Wuhan Institute of Virology being right next
to the first place that the COVID virus pops up.
It's a coincidence, just like the only country that Joe
Biden seemed so very fixated on at that phase of
the Obama presidency that was in his portfolio happened to

(20:35):
be paying happened to be paying his son eighty thousand
dollars a month to do nothing. Okay, right, coincidence theorists.
It's fun, isn't it. But anyway, Joe Biden is the
was the foreign policy guy. Kamala Harris is now Joe
Biden's vice president. I think it is fair to say
that Kamala Harris, even if she just stays in this
vice presidential role based on health issues, if Joe Biden

(20:58):
were to get into a second term, there's a very
real chance that Kamala would be a vice president who
would have to take the helm. We all know that's,
you know, that's just the age reality of where Biden
is in life. We all know that. You know, maybe
he just decides he doesn't have the energy anymore, and
he really doesn't. He finally admits what the reality is.
Steps down, Kamala takes over Okay, here she is weighing

(21:22):
in on descantises Ukraine war thoughts play for so as
Vice President, I have now met with over a hundred
world leaders, presidents, prime ministers, chancellors, and kings. And when
you have had the experience of meeting and understanding the
significance again of international rules and norms, and the importance

(21:44):
of the United States of America standing firm and clear
about the significance of sovereignty and territorial integrity, the significance
of standing firm against any nation that would try to
take by force. Oh, it's about sovereignty. That was the

(22:04):
part of it that that jumped out to me. We
are a country that now has an ongoing invasion of
illegal immigration to the tune of millions a year, and
tens of millions in total inside the country already, and
we're being lectured it is a joke to get into
America right now, that is that easy at the southern border.

(22:26):
And we just spoke to Stephen Miller about this yesterday,
who is just he is a like a savant on
border issues. He knows more than anyone else you can
think of at the policy level. And we're talking about
a wide open border. What could be a more egregious
violation of US sovereignty short of a military invasion than that.

(22:46):
But that is not as important as what is the
status of the Dawn Boss Region. This is what we're
the Dawn Boss region, which I honestly would be very
curious to see. Let's let's ask this question out loud.
Could Kamala Harris if you gave a blank map of
Europe with none of the country names listed, not even

(23:07):
could she find the Dawn Boss Do you think she
could find Ukraine? Do you think, Joe Biden? Could I
leave that? I leave that to your discretion. Biden, Maybe
because that's where a lot of the family loot came from, Right,
But I think it's an open question. Could he find
the Dawn Boss Region? Probably not. But I think it's
interesting also that Kamala felt the need to do this,

(23:28):
this preamble of when you're really important and you've met
with really important people and you understand all the important
rules about the important stuff in the world, it's like, Okay, yeah,
you're the vice president. You got you gotta do better
than just tell us you've sat in a lot of meetings.

(23:49):
You've got to explain to us the international rules based order. Well,
what is that? What does that even really mean? It's
like people that say this is a violation of international law. Okay,
who's going to enforce it? Well, as we know, the
Democrats believe we should. You know, we're the ones that
are supposed to as long as there is no critical

(24:10):
US interest involved in a conflict, Democrats get excited about
spending US blood and treasure in this case so far
in Ukraine, just treasure. But give it time. We'll see. Anyway,
I thought it was remarkable. And then there's also this
from the Actually, you know what, I'll get to the
sunny houstin clip. Because first off, there's this guy who

(24:34):
was on a Delta flight. And because I've often said
this to people, what would it take? What would it
take to for the people who are masking alone in cars?
And they exist because I see them still, And there
are a lot of people masking up in California, certainly
in Los Angeles area, San Francisco. I saw it in

(24:55):
LA recently. I'm going back to New York soon, spend
some time I'm in my hometown. I'm sure there are
going to be a bunch of people they're masked up too,
including a loan and outside. You ask yourself, what would
it take for them to stop doing this? Like what
has to happen for them to finally say enough is enough?

(25:15):
And you've seen there are some efforts now to normalize
through sayns doing this forever. They're saying, oh, but maybe
it also reduces like normal flu and colds or something.
It's like, come on, guys, come on, let's let's let's
not But they will, they'll, they'll try something to lead pathetic.
This guy, Steve Kirsch, he is a tech super millionaire.

(25:37):
That guy's worth two hundred and thirty million dollars, said
that he was sitting next to a woman in first class.
I love this. Who does anyone to get what bet
would you put that you know who this woman who
was sitting in first class, who was masking up between bites?
What what odds would you give that she's a Democrat?

(25:59):
I mean, I would I think that you couldn't even
nobody would take the other side of the bed. I
don't think there are any odds you could give that
she is that you would actually get money to come
in against you on this right ten to one one
hundred to one. She clearly is a Biden voter. And
he started the bidding at one hundred dollars to get
her to take off the mask. This guy's worth two
hundred and thirty million dollars, so for him, one hundred

(26:21):
k is couch cushion money. It doesn't matter. And he
got all the way up to one hundred thousand dollars,
and she still wouldn't take the mask off, even though
he was explaining to her, you realize that you're taking
and that he tweeted about this too. You keep bringing
the mask down to eat for you know, to drink,
to eat, you know, for fifteen minutes at a time,

(26:42):
twenty minutes at a time. What do you think you're well?
The virus that you think is in the air, which,
by the way, on planes you're safer from viruses than
you are in almost any other congregate setting. As vouch,
you would say. But because of the hepiphil, trade up
between bites was so important. That was always the airline policy.
It was never ever wear a mask the entire time

(27:05):
you're on the plane, even that wouldn't work, but wear
the mask partially in between bites at different periods. On
the flight. If you believe that an aerosolized virus is
something that you can't see, that it's just swirling around
in the air. This was completely insane. She wouldn't she
wouldn't take him up on a hundred Now, of course,

(27:27):
what are the lips saying, Oh, they didn't think he'd
actually pay. Well, you know, she could have. I'm sure
the guy's probably got a couple of grand in cash.
Autim probably could have said, well, I want you to
pull out a venmo at the end of this, I'll
get a witness. I mean, if someone told me pull
your First of all, never find a photo of me
with a mask on anywhere. You won't. The second of all,
you know I'm not wearing a mask on a plane, obviously,

(27:49):
But you know I would say, if someone was gonna
pay me this kind of money, I would at least
get a witness to it and say this was a
verbal contract and try to hold them to it. But anyway,
it's not worth it. Two her, it's not worth it.
I would let someone give me COVID for a hundred grand.
I've had it twice. One hundred grand. Yeah, have a
sniffle for three days I'm not worried about it. I
would let it rip. But anyway, it's it's pretty amazing

(28:12):
that this is where we are. Oh but Sonny Hawston
still won't go to a grocery store because of COVID.
She's a millionaire from sitting on a TV set with
people who are just constantly making the American people more
ignorant with their commentary, and she won't go to a
grocery store. She has other people. She cares so much

(28:33):
about COVID that she has other people who don't have
millions of dollars go do her grocery shopping for her,
because that's how you show how to stop the virus.
You know, send send the poor people in there to
do it for you. You know, that's that was the
whole thing. Okay, well we'll get into this. You've got
to hear this. It's coming up here in just a second. Look,

(28:54):
I'm going to a range on Sunday and I've got
some AMMO for it. But man, ammo is expensive. So
how are you going to keep your skills sharp? So
when you go to the gun range, you're getting the
most out of every round you fire. Well, the Mantis
X system mantis X is a firearms training system that
is no MMO. It's an all electronic way to improve
your shooting accuracy. The mantis X attaches to your weapon

(29:16):
like a firearm, your firearm like a weapon light, or
your firearm like a weapon light. Same thing. It attaches
your phone via the mantis x app, and then you
connect with Bluetooth. Mantis x gives you data driven, real
time feedback in your technique and guides you through drills
and courses. Ninety four percent of shooters improve within twenty
minutes of using the device. I've got mine at home.

when do the final traunch of people wearing masks out
there that when when do they finally say enough is enough?
I have been saying now for three years that there

(30:21):
will be some for whom they will never ever be
done with it right, that it's never gonna happen. I
thought this was hilarious. Sonny Houston of the View claimed
that she hasn't been to a grocery store in three years.
In three years play clip two. Sure you have never

(30:43):
ordered from instacart. Now you like to go to a grocery.
I enjoy a supermarket. I don't like a supermar. I've
been in a supermarket. It's COVID throughout three years. That's
when I discovered Instacart, and I give them a big
tip because they don't always pay their their people well
and it's it's so that's been an issue I think
for the company. But man, you can get toiletrees, you
can get fire logs, you know those big bounty towels.

(31:05):
You don't want arrows from Costas somebody else those that's
such ano, But I don't deliver it to your house.
Such a woman of the people, Sonny Houston. Oh, yes,
I send other people in. I'm scared of COVID, so
I send other people in to go do my grocery
shopping for me and have for three years. Okay, I wonder,

(31:28):
but she doesn't send other people in. If she has
like a cocktail party on the Upper West Side in
New York with you know, in a duplex overlooking Central Park,
maybe you know who knows a six or eight million
dollars apartment or something like that with you know, ABC
News producers. Um, she doesn't send somebody else there. She'll
do the congregate seeded thing, right. But grocery stores, no, No,
send somebody else in. The laptop Zoom from home class

(31:53):
during all of COVID was so lacking in self awareness.
It was one of the great early indicators of what
was really going on. They're like, Oh, I just can't
I can't go to the grocery store and I can't
do all this stuff because of COVID. So I'm just
going to pay somebody else in my place to go
do it, you know, because that'll work. It's their problem. Okay, Oh,

(32:14):
what a great job they did, and trying to deal
with the realities of COVID. I just think it's pretty remarkable.
Let's see here we have Neil and Florida have some
thoughts on Ukraine and all the rest of it. What's
going on? Neil, Neil going whites, Yes, sir, Nail Nail Hell. Hello, Okay, buddy,

(32:42):
I can't hear you, and we're on radio. Let's go
to David from Minneapolis. David, you got some thoughts on Ukraine? Yeah? Buck.
You know, throughout my life I've learned that if something
the fairies is going on, so the money you used
to find your answer. For over a year now, we've
watched our assists to Ukraine be slow walked. And then

(33:02):
remember in the beginning the Biden administration was oh yeah,
ra ra Ukraine. Raw for Ukraine. So if you want
to conflict end quickly, why not give everything that they
need upfront at once. Instead it's been oh, that's too provocative. Okay,
here you go, Oh that's too up to now they
have tanks. So why would you slow walk a conflict?
Why would you want it to last any longer than

(33:23):
it has to? And my answer is, look, billions of
dollars have gone over there unaccounted for now. I'm seeing
faces like Hillary Clinton show up over there. I'm seeing
the former Trogola diets of the Obama administration show up
over there. I think this is a huge monitoring money
laundering scheme. They've got a bunch of Look look how

(33:44):
corrupt Ukraine was with the Biden family just them by themselves.
I mean, it's that's what I look. I'll say this,
you know, because because there isn't really accountability for the
money obviously, and Ukraine has been essentially the most corrupt
country in Western or in Europe, rather not Western Europe,
in Europe for a long time. Many of people recall

(34:07):
there was a training program the Pentagon was running for
the Free Syrian Army. This is a Pentagon program reported
on to the New York Times and uh and in
the Wall Street Journal. I think both of them were
on this. This was years ago. This was when this
was earlier stage is before Trump came in. And this

(34:30):
was the Obama administration trying to find a way to
help in Syria, but not really not go too far anyway.
They spent and you can check me on this one,
something like five hundred million dollars on a training program
for the Free Syrian Army in Syria, and they ended
up fielding and I'm serious about this, one actual combat

(34:56):
soldier in Syria. And you said, well, how how is
that possible? I have five hundred million dollars. Look, I mean,
you know, great training costs millions of dollars to train
one of our seals, for example. But you know it
doesn't cost five hundred million dollars cost probably I don't
know three or four. I don't know. I'd have to guess,
but you know you're you're not training one person but five.

(35:16):
That's because the money went to this guy and that
guy and into all kinds of you know, of all
kinds of places where we have no accountability, no trackability,
no nothing. And so never ever underestimate the federal government's ability,
under the guise of national security urgency, to waste unbelievable

(35:40):
amounts of money. I mean to make to make it
seem like they're the joker in you know the Batman
movie with Heath Ledger when he's just lighting a giant,
massive pile of money on fire. That's the Pentagon when
it decides, oh, we have an urgent need to you know,
do this or that, so I think it's important that
we all understand that of one hundred billion dollars going

(36:01):
to Ukraine, who knows what's actually going to the war
effort versus what's going to different oligarchs and any answers
will probably never know. I am going to be coming
back here to second with speaking of money, five million
dollars per black resident of San Francisco, according to the

(36:22):
Reparation's Committee there and now the city council five million
dollars a person for reparations in San Francisco. We're going
to talk about this in just a second.
