Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right, second hour Clay and Buck kicks off right now.
And I don't think I have a lot of new
stuff on the UFFO. It's a real story, okay, the
UFOs in New Jersey. This is there's grown footage that
(00:20):
is capturing the interactions between these It doesn't seem like
this is something that's going away anytime soon. They said, yesterday,
what was it? Kirby came out and said, it doesn't
appear to be a threat. There's no reason to be
worried about this. And I understand that I appreciate where
(00:43):
Kirby's coming from at some level. But if you don't
know what it is, how do you know? You know
what I mean, If you're not sure what's going on
with this, it strikes me that you can't really tell
us about it at this point. I mean, there are
let's see, twelve counties here are saying that have reported
(01:08):
sightings mystery drones in the air, moving extremely close as
that they're interacting with each other. New Jersey Governor Phil
Murphy has said that the drones are very sophisticated. The
minute we get eyes on them, they go dark. He said,
I don't blame people for being frustrated, and he spent
most of the day quarter This is a few days ago,
according with the White House on this issue, I think
(01:31):
we can all I mean, something's going on here. Here's
a new Jersey senator. This is cut fifteen, Corey Booker,
who is also expressing frustration on this one. Play it.
Speaker 2 (01:41):
I've been a little frustrated there hasn't been enough transparency
letting people know what's happening. It's allowing a lot of
potentially misinformation to spread, or at least fear we should
know what's going on over our skies. And I've asked
for a lot more information.
Speaker 1 (01:56):
I think that's all fair. You know, it is interesting.
Maybe one of the last truly bipartisan places for US,
I mean, you know, one of the last places where
you could expect bipartisanship is on either foreign countries flying
drones in our airspace to surveil and and spy on us,
and or and more so this extraterrestrial beings flying around
(02:22):
in our ears, like I do think you know, even
he even you know, Bernie Bernie Sanders would be ready
to rock and roll with his Republican brothers and sisters
if an alien again not at our border alien invasion happened.
You know, he would, he would all of a sudden
turn into Bill Pullman from Independence Day. He'd be like,
we could call this new Independence Day, and I know
(02:46):
the whole thing. We'd all come together, right. I mean,
it would be the one thing that would truly unite
the American people like nothing else. I think would be
if the flying saucers started blowing up like national monuments
and stuff. I think we could agree on that. I
don't think that's happening. I'm not saying saying that I'm
worried about that happening. As you know, I'm a skeptic
about extraterrestrial life for both scientific and spiritual reasons. That's
(03:10):
a whole other thing. But nonetheless, they don't have any
answers for us on this, and I sit here just
saying this is very weird and we cannot take the
word of the Pentagon or anybody else at this one.
A US senator has said that this has been shot rather,
(03:33):
that they should be shot down if necessary. That was Blumenthal. Well,
one guy knows something about shooting down the enemy. It's
fake Vietnam veteran Blumenthal, right, wasn't he the fake Vietnam vetter.
Was that the other guy?
Speaker 2 (03:46):
No?
Speaker 1 (03:46):
Wait, maybe that was the other guy. Was it Blumenthal? No,
it was Bloomenthal. See I always know these democrats. They
can't escape, they can't escape the Buckster's memory. I remember
this guy. Yeah, that's right, you know, Bloomenthal is like,
the skies are all lit up, just like when I
was in you know, Danang, not Trong. You know, everyone's like,
but you were never there, Senator. Good times. So we've
(04:11):
got that, And I don't have much more for you
on another than I'm still I'm still very much wanting
to know and wanting to understand how how this could
be going on. And we are entering an era of
when you when you combine AI and drone technology, this
stuff is going to Our skies are going to be
(04:32):
very different in the years ahead. And the whole notion
of that battle space first of all, space itself, So
getting outside of our atmosphere with SpaceX and the change
it that's good, it already is with satellites and things.
An era. You know, we have the space Force, which
probably sounds a lot cooler than it actually is day
(04:53):
to day, but we have the space forces, you know,
military command, and that's only going to be more dominant.
But down into our atmosphere and down in planet Earth,
the skies are going to be very different. Unmanned aerial
vehicles that are doing dog fighting is just over the horizon.
(05:15):
So drones that are operating with their perhaps their own
I think what do they call it, the kill chain
of command or the ability to make their own lethal decisions.
That's going to be happening. So we're entering this brave
new world based on technology and it's going to change
a lot. And I think that more than ever, we'll
(05:35):
also see that military capability and technical and industrial know
how are going to just because that's going to be
even more important. Right, we've actually fought. If you look
at the wars that the US has been involved in
the last twenty three years, they've been largely counterinsurgency and
(05:57):
then really almost broader national scale policing operations. Counterinsurgency is
really the same thing, but we've been going after individual
targets doing pacification operations, and it's been very much an infantry. Yeah,
there's been aerial close air support and technology for the
(06:17):
intel piece of it has been very important, but it's
been really an infantry infantry first, you know, combat environment,
that's what it was in a Rocket's what it was
in Afghanistan. And obviously the air piece of that for
close air support has been very important. It's been a
huge advantage for our soldiers, soldiers and marines and everyone
(06:37):
overseas doing the fighting. But going forward, we're going to
start to see more and more of what would have
been thought of as sci fi stuff twenty years ago
is going to be a reality. And I'm just getting
into this a little bit because you know, there's gonna
be drones, there's gonna be new technology that's going to
seem like a UFO or seem very space age to us.
(06:59):
That's gonna be happening soon. So yeah, I don't have
much more if you have any good theories or ideas
on what's going on here. I saw the thing about
the Iranian mothership as a possibility. I saw the you know,
so that there's an Iranian mothership off the coast, that
would be like, I don't think Iran's technology is that good.
And I think even if Russia and China's technology was
(07:21):
that good, they wouldn't necessarily they wouldn't share that with
iran like you never give your allies your best best stuff,
and those aren't allies that It's not like us allied
with the Brits and the Aussies, where there's a true
national fondness and sense of brotherhood with you know, the
particularly the five Iceed countries, the English speaking countries of
(07:41):
the US, New Zealand, Australia, Canada, Britain. You know, we
got our differences, but we all we're all kind of
one big family of nations, those five at least, you know,
the Chinese don't like the Iranians, They'll work with the Iranians.
The Russians don't like the Iranians, They'll work with the Iranians.
And so that's where I think this of falls apart
as a theory for me. But I've people keep asking
(08:04):
me and I'm I'm like, I don't know. It's this
shouldn't be so hard to figure out. I don't think
it's some private entity. Also, my understanding is that with drones,
if you if someone does shoot them down. First of all,
if anyone shoots it down as a civilian, I think
that that's a violation of They treat it like you're
shooting down an aircraft, as in like an aircraft I
(08:26):
could have people. It's a very very serious felony. And
there's all kinds of you know, mandatory minimums that come
into the federal statutes. So you know, you know that
that's a very bad idea for anybody who's been considering
anything like that. But this is weird. This is weird.
We should have more answers. And with that, I want
to transfer our discussion here, transition it into h the
(08:49):
Jen six revelations from the DJ yesterday, and I have
been reading excerpts of that report, and I think there's
a there's a sense from all of us. I was
on a Jesse Water show last night. I think we
have it up at clanbuck dot com. The clip. They
wanted me to come on the top of the show
and talk about the confidential informant piece and how that
(09:11):
factors in. You know, we had when I was at
NYPD Intelligence Division, the detectives there would run confidential informants
for counter terrorism cases, very similar to the FBI processes
for this. And so you know, I understand what a
what a CI does, and how these relationships work. And
here are some things that stick out to me about
(09:32):
jan six that are important as this report came out.
First of all, the FBI doing oversight on the FBI
is a little bit laughable at this stage. This is
why we need cash in there. This is why we
need people who both understand how a bureaucracy like the
FBI functions and where it has gone wrong, where it
(09:55):
has transgressed the mandate that it has from the americ
and people to enforce the law and become a tool
of politics, a weapon of politics. So that's one piece
of it. And I think that when you see the
FBI saying, oh, well, our informants didn't do anything illegal,
(10:18):
says the informants, right, that's there. They're asking for a
lot of good faith on that one. Hold on. So
you've got twenty six informants in this crowd, which is
a lot of informants in a crowd of people who
very few of any of whom had any criminal convictions
in the past. I mean, I'd be curious to see
how many of the J six prisoners had a felony
(10:41):
conviction in their in their past. I bet it was
tiny a handful. You probably count them on one hand.
Of all of the thousand plus people convicted Jay six.
I bet very few had actual criminal pasts. I don't
know that that's just a hunch, but my hunters are
usually right. And so you would ask the question, why
would they have twenty six of these informants right the
(11:06):
why were they all there to monitor a political rally.
We have something called the Handshoe guidelines when I was
in the Intel Division at the NYPD, and it's from
a judge Judge Handshoe, and I had to do with
being able to conduct investigations while also respecting First Amendment
rights freedom of assembly, freedom of speech, and you know,
it was there were guidelines. I think eventually they were
(11:28):
actually either expanded upon or toss that or I left
and then things kind of got a little tough at
the Intel Division, So I could tell you things didn't
go the way that we were hoping they would. But
there were all these rules we would have to be
very strict about. Oh, you know, we'd be running confidential
informants and occasionally this may not come as or this
(11:50):
will not come as a shock to any of you.
Occasionally these confidential informants would be I don't know, doing
a counter terrorism case and they would be in a mosque.
It is a thing that would happen, believe it or not,
when you're dealing with like al Qaida and these different ideologies.
You know, people who are big into anware Alaki, they
would occasionally be in a mosque, I know, the shocks liberals,
(12:12):
and so we'd have to go through and make sure
that we didn't record and didn't create this record of
you know, protected speech in the mosque for the foss
because it wasn't about that, right, It's about the guy
who's meeting with the guy right after the service and
they want to get their hands on AK forty seven's
or you know, bombs they want to blow up. Usually
(12:33):
it was a synagogue that was often a target for them.
You know, no surprise there either, and we would have
to pull all this stuff out. But my point about
this is there was extreme sensitivity to the sense that
we were not doing counter terrorism operations, but that we
were surveiling the Muslim community. And what I see from
(12:54):
this twenty six confidential informants that they've admitted now we're
in the crowd on January six, is what kind of
surveillance of pro Trump groups was going on under Trump's
tenure as the president at the FBI. We know that
they ran Remember nothing is off the table here because
(13:15):
they used the FBI's PISA authority to run a bogus
Russia collusion investigation of Trump. And they went after, you know,
a foreign policy advisor, George Papadopoulos. They went after Carter Page,
who they tried to make him seem like he was
a trader. He was actually a patriot, got served. The Navy,
(13:36):
didn't do anything wrong, had worked with the FBI in
the past to help them see some of these approaches
from Russians and to deal with them. So they they'll
if they'll abuse FISA, what do you think they won't
run some cis into Trump organizations to see what they
can When I say Trump organizations not run by Trump,
(13:57):
but that are pro Trump, pro Trump entities out there.
So we just have so many more things we need
answers to. And also why were none of the sis
if they were in the Capitol and some of them
went into the Capitol building that was treated with the
severest the severest hand imaginable by DC prosecutors, see eyes
(14:18):
were free to do that. And I was, okay, why
is that you know these are the questions that we
all have. We'll talk to Jim Jordan about this, obviously,
how Judiciary, a guy who's been on this for a
long time. Also asking about cash matel coming into the DJ.
He'll be with us here in just a few minutes.
I think there's some important stuff to get to with him.
And you know, while Christmas season is a joyous one
(14:40):
for so many of us, it's also a time when
we could think about those who need our help and
those that we can bring a lot of joy to
by helping them protect life and build their families. And
that's what the Preborn Ministries do every day, day in
and day out. They operate the preborn clinics nationwide. I've
(15:01):
been to the Preborn Clinic, one of them here in Miami.
I've seen firsthand the kind of work they do. What
they have in place to give love and support to
pregnant moms so that these moms make the choice to
give life to their baby. They don't fall victim to
the propaganda that, oh, this is going to be so
terrible for your career. Oh you know, if you know
(15:22):
the man in your life who won't put a ring
on it or won't do the right thing. You know,
he's pressuring you to get no, no, no no, protect
the life of the tiny baby in the womb. That
is the very clear mission from Preborn, and they are
amazing at it. One of these women was Kelsey. She
found herself with an unplanned pregnancy and had already had
one abortion and she promised God she would never do
(15:45):
it again. But then she had another accidental pregnancy and
she thankfully found herself at a preborn clinic instead of
one of the alternatives out there. And from the moment
they walked in, Kelsey and her partner, they were overwhelmed
by the love and support they received and she was
introduced to her baby on a sonogram. This Christmas, for
(16:06):
just twenty eight dollars, you can do the same for
someone just like Kelsey. Twenty eight dollars donation provides that
free ultrasound experience so the mom can meet the baby,
and thanks to a special match in Grant, every gift
you give this holiday season is doubled. To donate. Dial

Speaker 1 (16:52):
Coming in here in just a few moments, we'll talk
to Jim Jordan about the Inspector General report out of
the FBI and more. Let's take callor Doug in Georgia
wants the weigh in. I was just in Savannah for
my mom's birthday. Dog, I love your state. What's going on?
Speaker 4 (17:08):
Oh? I just wanted to comment about the grown situation
up in New Jersey. And you know, I'm eighty four
years old, and I was really concerned about those for
the last week or so, but then said, last night,
I finally realized if Joe Biden or anyone else came
(17:29):
out today and said, okay, we're going to deliver the
straight scoop, what's going on with those? The sad thing
about it, I couldn't believe a word they said. I
can't believe the FBI anything they say. The CIA.
Speaker 1 (17:45):
Now, this is it's an important point, right, They've they've
lit their credibility on fire to that this is what
I mean by we just can't take their word for it.
That would be silly. I'm not going to take their
word for it. So good point, Doug. Thank you for
calling in. You know, if you're an investor, you know
it's hard to get good advice and good ideas that
can help you profit over the course of your investments.
(18:05):
But there's some names you should know. Here's one Brad Thomas.
He's an expert in the world's largest asset, which is
bigger than stocks and bonds combined. He's consulted with President
Trump of the past and amassed more than a billion
dollars in business transaction Today, Brad Thomas is determined to
help every day investors in the stock market. He's sharing
the insights he's gained from his network of investors that
(18:26):
have followed his direction. They've seen gains greater than forty
percent a year. Brad Thomas is opening membership to his
research in a whole new way. It begins with his
most immediate investment opportunity, which could deliver huge gains, but
he says you must move your money into it before
the end of twenty twenty four. Go watch Brad's presentation
for free Bradlert dot com. He's agreed to share it
(18:47):
with you at this website Bradlert dot com, paid for
by wide Mote Research. Welcome back in to Clayanbuck. We're
joined by Congressman Jim Jordan of Ohio. Cores and Merry
Christmas coming up in Happy holidays, Happy New Year to you.
It's been a little while. How you been.
Speaker 5 (19:06):
I'm doing. I'm doing fine. Merry Christmas you and your family,
and I saw you last night, and Jesse, you did
a great job talking about this, this this crazy id
report about all these twenty six confidential human sources who
were there just like we suspected they were on January sixth,
twenty twenty one.
Speaker 1 (19:23):
Yeah, so what what happens now? Obviously I don't think anybody,
neither you nor I nor anyone listening says, oh, FBI's
got this covered. Thanks for all the transparency. What happens?
What do you want to know? Where are we taking
this to get to get real answers?
Speaker 5 (19:39):
Yeah? I want to know how many of these confidential
human sources are still confidential human sources for the FBI.
I want to know how much they were paid? You know,
we know some of them were directly reimbursed, were coming
there were casked to come there by the FBI. But
you know, you know it better than anyone how this works.
You give information, you get paid if you're a confidential
human source. And I always say that's a fancy name
to for being a spy.
Speaker 1 (20:01):
Maybe that's a domestic it's a domestic spy for all
intents and purposes. I mean it's the same.
Speaker 5 (20:05):
Exactly exactly, So how much were they getting paid? Are
they still confidential human source? And I would like to
know what little more details about what they did? Were
they in the first because we know four of them
actually entered the capital, They weren't authorized to break any law.
None of them have been charged, which again under under
underscores this concern we have about you know, unequal application
of the law. That's one big problem. So I don't
(20:29):
know were they did they go through any broken windows?
What were they doing? Because we know the confidential human
sources that were involved in this crazy Whitmer plot up
in up in Michigan with Governor Whitmer, that they were
they were the guys kind of instigating the whole thing
and that and that case largely fell apart in court.
So I think there's lots of questions that this report answers,
(20:50):
but it did confirm again what we all suspected.
Speaker 1 (20:54):
Also, well, what what do you think? I mean, there's
there's what we're going to get as answers. So I
know you can't give us a harder fast here. But
were you a little taken aback by why would there
be so many in this you know, this wasn't This
wasn't a group of people that you would know that
you would assume would have a lot of confidential FBI
informants around them, right, I mean they're first of all,
(21:17):
most a vast majority of people that were present in
the capital area, I should say, including uh, you know,
all the way up to the Washington Monument. You know,
they they didn't break any laws. There are a lot
of people that gathered there who were just there to protest.
So why twenty six confidential informants in this group of people,
meaning what were they reporting on before January sixth if
(21:37):
they weren't there at the direction of the FBI? You
see what I'm saying.
Speaker 5 (21:41):
Yeah, yeah, well I think it's this whole puss, this
whole you know, gymestic terrorism.
Speaker 1 (21:45):
You know that.
Speaker 5 (21:46):
Remember that this is the same that they had the
memorandum in Richmond at the Richmond Field Office. We said,
if you're a pro life Catholic, you're an extremist. So
and if you look and if you look at their budget,
their budget is the FBI budget annual budget about eleven
eleven point three million dollars. I think more than half
of that is on intelligence, counterintelligence and domestic terrors. Most
Americans kind of think their fbis out there getting traditional
(22:08):
bad guys, you know, the gang members and organized crime
and money lawn and all that stuff. But no, no,
most of what the FBI is doing is surveilling Americans.
So I think that's sort of the fundamental point. But
then you know this this powboys, oathkeepers and this that
that falls right into that whole mindset that they have.
But I'm also a little concerned because remember this was
(22:30):
a First Amendment protected rally that took place at the
Ellipse that they had no idea that anything was going
to happen at the Capitol, and yet you've got this
many people. So I think, I think you're right, I'm
concerned about all of that. And this trend, and again
that's why I'm excited about cash Ptel coming in and
hopefully straighten that place up, which I think he's going
(22:50):
to do well.
Speaker 1 (22:51):
Yeah, I mentioned it on Jesse's last night. I just
as a point of institutional memory. I think it was
shocking to people. This is a much lesser issue, although
still pretty bad when the IRS is being weaponized. Remember
the IRS was slow rolling and investigating and harassing anybody
with like Patriot tea party, you know that they were
used by the Obamaman. I mean, this was a real thing,
(23:13):
and this was admitted to and this actually happened, and
really there was never any accountability for it. It just
kind of got swept aside. Lois Learner, I still remember
her name, and to me as somebody who worked on
the counter terrorism side of the NYPD and the CTC
of the CIA, it feels like some of the things
that we used to do to stop people from you know,
(23:34):
strapping suicide vest to their chest in the subway, some
of the same kind of tactics and machinery of law
enforcement and intelligence gathering were switched and started to be
used against Trump supporters. And I know, saying that out
loud may strike people as oh, my gosh, is that
really possible, But Congressman, I don't think that that's too
far afield for what we've seen.
Speaker 5 (23:56):
No, and the evidence supports that that that theory that
because we've not only seen it with the IRS, we
see it with the FBI. We see it now with
the FBI working with big banks. We released a report
last week fourteen thousand people in our federal government search
to fend send database in the Department of Treasury three
million times in one year looking up information on Americans
(24:17):
banking transaction, and most of that information actually almost all
that information was gathered without a warrant. They've turned that
on its head because typically the banks will say, oh,
we see something suspicious under the wall. We're supposed to
report that some local hardware store owner is now suddenly
taking out twenty thousand dollars cash withdrawals every other day.
That's a suspicious thing. They've report that. But what's happened
(24:38):
is they've turned that on its head, and it's now
the government saying, hey, can you check on S and sell?
Can you look at this? And in fact, after January sixth,
this is what got us onto this we had a
whistleblower come tell us. After January sixth, the FBI sent
an email to Bank of America saying, send us every
credit card debit card transaction of any of your customers
in the Washington, DC area on January fifth, sixth, and seventh,
(24:58):
twenty twenty one, and then overlay that with any purchase
of a firearm they've ever made. Give us that information
without a warrant. And the with the ball came to
us and said, we've pushed back on this because we
knew this was wrong. That's what got to started on
this investigation. So it's the it's the FBI going to
the banks, it's the FBI using counter confidential human sources,
and of course it's the I R S and everything
(25:19):
else that is the concern. And that's why the American people,
i think, spoke so loudly and clearly clearly on November fifth,
put people in these positions under under President Trump, who
are going to stop this stuff.
Speaker 1 (25:30):
Speaking of Concress and Jim Jordan of Ohio, UH and
to that end of stopping this stuff, and also of
accountability and finding answers that we're discussing right now. Cash
betel coming in. I know, you know Cash, I know Cash.
I think Cash is the man, is the man for
this job at FBI. We know Christopher Ray is stepping down.
What you know to the degree you can just give
(25:51):
us a short overview of it. Cash comes in what
has to happen that he can can bring to fruition
and work with Congress, work with with the Oversight Committee
on these issues so that people can start to have
faith that the FBI isn't being used as a weapon
of politics and they and they can trust what the
FBI says to a degree. I mean, right now, Congressmans,
(26:13):
you know there's a tremendous amount of cynicism. How does
Cash how do the incoming Republicans fix this thing?
Speaker 5 (26:19):
Well, first of all, I agree with you one hundred percent.
I think he's exactly the right guy for the job.
We would not have known about the whole Russian coclusion
hopes but for Cash working within Chairman Devin Newness to
give us that information, and God bless him. And I
also think there's an irony here because there was another
Inspector General report earlier this week. That week, Chris Ray
announced that he's resigning, but that earlier report this week
said that Chris Ray when he first took the job,
was spying on Capitol Hill staffords and of course one
(26:41):
of those key staffers, he was spying on Cash Betel.
The guy is going to take his position and clean
that place up. The way he cleans it up is
to do what you just said, Buck. Give us the
answers to the questions you and I were just asking
how many how many of these guys are still on
the pay roll, these confidential human sources. Give us that information,
how they get into Capitol. We wanted a little details.
Were they were they, you know, organizing this, pushing this
(27:01):
or not, or they just innocent watching people. You know,
when did they go in that first lip of people
who went into the to the Capitol. I mean, give
us some of those answers. That's how you clean it up,
because it starts with those at the top, starts with
real leadership, and you know it starts with President Trump
and he is definitely sending the right the right message,
It has the right approach, and then with Cash. But
give us that information. That's how you stop it and
(27:23):
clean it up and make the FBI work for the
American people like they're supposed.
Speaker 1 (27:27):
To, and Congressman, I know that we don't really have answers,
but can you help us walk through a little bit here?
Just give me your your sense of how concerned you are,
what you believe so far, and what is going on
with all the supporting about a bunch of drones flying
around the sky in New Jersey. I mean, this is
what what do you see here? What's real, what's what's not?
(27:47):
What's happening?
Speaker 5 (27:49):
I have no no better answer than what you're giving
your listeners. I really don't know now. I do know
that Speaker Johnson got a briefing today. I'm not talking
with Mike since that briefing, and I don't know what
he's you know, what he's Maybe it's at a level
where he can't even tell memories of I don't know.
But I look forward to hearing what Mike has to
tell us, or what the Speaker has to tell us
(28:09):
when we're when we're back in session on on Monday.
But I don't know anything more than what's been reported
the news. What I've seen. It certainly is a concern,
and I know a lot of folks in certainly that
part of the country, But I think all over the
country are concerned about it. We just like our government.
But you know, I always say, this is the same FBI.
They can't tell us who put cocaine in the White House,
can't tell us anything about this. I guess we shouldn't
be too surprised. Same FBI. They can't tell us who
(28:30):
leaked the Dobbs decision or you know, whatever took this
long to give us a report on something we all
sort of suspected was happening on about confidential human sources.
And there on January sixth, again this hope cast get
there and cleans it up.
Speaker 1 (28:46):
I just you know, you know, Jim, I I see
all this happening, and I see what's going on with
these different federal agencies, you know FBI, but also my
old old Home Agency CIA, and even the CDC and
unfortunately a secret service. And it feels like confidence in
the federal agency's ability to get the mission done but
(29:07):
also to be straight with the American people is at
an all time low. And that's really it's actually not
good for the country, you know, I mean, truly, it
truly is a problem that needs to be fixed.
Speaker 5 (29:17):
No, it is not healthy, and you want you want
to trust your institutions, the key institutions, and I think
you're right you sort of pointed to I think it
really started to take off when it was the IRS
targeting conservative groups, and then you saw it with how
the government tried to keep information from us when you
had the tragedy in BEng Ghazi, and then you thought
the Russia colusion thing, and then on and on. It
(29:37):
goes all the way up to what we just were discussing.
So that needs a change, and I think that's something
that President Trump is going to change again by putting
people in these positions who are real leaders, who understand
they're there to serve we the people, not be weaponized
and turned against.
Speaker 4 (29:51):
We the people.
Speaker 1 (29:52):
Conrison, what is the best Christmas movie? Before we let
you go?

twenty twenty five, So no pressure.
Speaker 5 (30:12):
All right, keep up the great work book.
Speaker 1 (30:14):
Thanks, Thanks, thank you. You know the holidays can be
very difficult for some folks, you know, with a lot
of celebration, a lot of great stuff going on, but
you know, there are those of us we have to
remember at this period, including children who have lost a
father and mother in the line of duty. When Sergeant
Stephen's Plan suffered a heart attack while on fire duty,
Tunanta Towers Foundation provided the family with a mortgage free home.
(30:36):
With your help, Dozens of families like his are receiving
the gift of a mortgage free home or a specially
adapted smart home this holiday season through Talented Towers. Heroes
and their families who have sacrificed so much for us,
they're having the burden of a mortgage lifted off their
shoulders so they can stay in the home they've always known.
Your gift to the Foundation during this season of hope
may be the most meaningful gift you give this holiday season.
(30:59):
Your kindness will bring help and hope to heroes and
their families who are so deserving of our gratitude. Donate
eleven dollars a month the taunt the Towers at T

Speaker 1 (31:27):
Man, it's flying by today. But I got a lot
of energy and a lot of delicious coffee in my
hand thanks to the caffeine in the You know what
I'm saying. I kind of just stumbled up at the
point is Crockett Coffee is amazing. Go to Crocket Coffee
dot com. I've been seeing some of the gear we're
gonna have, by the way, T shirts, hoodies, the hats.
The Crockett hats are so cool. It's all in honor
(31:48):
of Davy Crockett. That's where the ethos of this brand
comes from. But it's the most delicious coffee you're gonna
find absolutely anywhere. I've got different roast, k cup ground
hole being. I think almost all of you you drink coffee,
something like ninety percent of you drink coffee, and a
lot of you are Crocket subscribers, but not all of you.
And I have to say we're drinking some communists swill.
(32:09):
What's going on with that? You know you don't need
any of that nonsense. Don't support these left wing radicals who
you know are making you coffee with their you know
their there's six earrings in one ear and there you
know anarchist tattoos on their faces and stuff. No, no, no,
Crocket Coffee my friends, go to Crocket Coffee dot com.

a family member who's a big Clay fan. And my book,
by the way, will be coming out in the fall,
so it's taken a while. Had to get some stuff
you know, checked out, cleared all that. Yeah, this is
why I haven't written a book before, because I wonder
one really write it. Clay and I both write our books.
(32:51):
Isn't that nice? We actually write them as we sit
down and do the writing. Very rare in our industry.
There are others who do it, there are very few
who do it. And yeah, that'll be out in the fall.
Let's I also, I kind of want to start a
good natured fight with all of you. The best Christmas
movie I asked. I asked Congressman Jim Jordan. He said,
it's a wonderful life. I think that's the safest choice.
(33:13):
This is like people saying the best war movie is
Saving Private Rye, And I mean, that's that's very although
very few of you said et yesterday for best alien movie,
which I found a little, a little bit surprising in
the moment. Et I think is great for what it is.
Oh and we got a lot of calls here, let's
get Josh. Wait no, I'm sorry. The fight I want
(33:35):
to start was what is the best Christmas movie? Only
emails on that though, And we're not gonna do calls
in that one right now because we won't have enough time.
We're about to go to the next hour. But send
in some VIP emails best Christmas movie? And why I
was watching Home Alone two yesterday. The only part of
Home Alone two I like is the New York nostalgia
and Donald Trump in the plaza. Home Alone two doesn't
get it done for me. Home Alone one classic Home
(33:57):
Alone two, know what I mean? It's like Ghostbusters too
with the pink sludge. Not good, not good. The only
thing that's cool about that was the crazy painting. That
painting was scary Vigo. It is Vego. You remember this
with the painting if you haven't seen it, it's a
good watch, though, I mean it wasn't as good ghost
Us as one as a time as Classic Ghostbusters two
(34:19):
is kind of you know. Mah uh Josh in Ohio?
What's going on? Josh?
Speaker 6 (34:25):
Yes? How are you hey? You know, with all this
about the preemptive pardons and everything, I'd like to see
Donald Trump issue a preemptive pardon to anyone who shoots
down one of these drones coming up next month, you know, I.
Speaker 1 (34:40):
Mean, I appreciate your heads out, but we can't have
people shooting drones out of the sky because remember, what
goes up must come down, and people shooting is not
a good idea, you know, if you want. If there
are risks with this, and it's it's you know, against
the law for a reason. We don't know what these
drones are. They could be US drones and they're just
not talking to us about it. So I can't I
(35:01):
can't thank you for calling in no, no, no, don't
don't shoot. Don't shoot down the drones. I gotta tell you.
In this in Syria, I mentioned this to you, and
those of you who serve the military know exactly what
I'm talking about. Uh. I remember this happened at one point.
I was in northern Iraq and we had to be
concerned because I think like it was either a soccer
team want something happened and they were just all firing
(35:22):
ak's in the air. Those bullets come down and they
can hit people. This all this is something I just
got to say it. All countries should have like drinkable
water and rules against firing guns in the air. Okay,
not good, not good. Those bullets come down. Not safe.
Terrence is a former F sixteen pilot. He's here in
(35:43):
Florida as well. What's going on? My friend? You air
Were you air Force?
Speaker 5 (35:49):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (35:49):
I was Air Force in an air guard.
Speaker 1 (35:52):
So what do you got for me on the drones?
Teach me some stuff?
Speaker 7 (35:55):
Well, I'm I'm I'm surprised that they haven't done fighter
sweeps through their trying to find them. You'd have heard
about that on the news media. That should have been done.
So that puts a big question in my mind. I
understand that the New Jersey Street Police officer in the
helicopter located one of these. He got very nervous about it,
(36:15):
and he landed because he was concerned for his life.
But we have thousands to military, thousands of helicopters. If
you could sit on the beach as soon as these
things start coming in or wherever they're coming from, start
chasing them down now during World War two, to catch
one of these things during World War two.
Speaker 1 (36:33):
But the RIF did.
Speaker 7 (36:34):
When the Germans started shooting buzz bombs at him, they
did a maneuver called tipping. What they would do, because
this was a dumb drone just flying. You got five seconds, okay,
What they would do is tip the wing over and
flip it over on his back and his craft
