Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome to today's edition of the Clay Travis and Buck
Sexton Show podcast. Third hour Clay and Buck kicks off
right now, and we had some breaking news from overseas
that I wanted to get to. There was a massive
explosion in Iran, actually two explosions, two bombs, killing one
(00:24):
hundred and three people earlier today and over two hundred wounded.
This was in the city of Kerman, which is about
five hundred miles southeast of Tehran, the capital of Iran,
and it was a horrific scene you have over I mean,
(00:47):
for over one hundred people to die in twin blasts
is indicator of These were powerful explosives, a lot of shrapnel.
And this was also symbolic, this strike because it was
at the fourth anniversary of the killing of General Cossim Solomoni.
(01:08):
Now you will, i'm sure, recall that Cossam Solomoni was
killed in Iraq by a us drone under the Trump administration,
and it was something that Donald Trump initially received some criticism,
of course from the foreign policy intelligensia about, but it
(01:28):
turned out that it was the right move. Cossam Solomoni
was a mastermind of terror attacks around the world because
he was the leader of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard KODS
force Coods's word for Jerusalem. That tells you something. And
the IRGC is the external well is the operations arm
(01:52):
of the Iranian revolution. KUODS is the external arm of it.
And there was the blood of many, many America and
soldiers on the hands of Costum Soulomaning. He helped mastermind
the creation and deployment during the US occupation of Iraq
of EFP's explosively formed penetrators, these shape charges that would
(02:15):
punch a piece of molten copper through the whole of
an armored US armored vehicle not anymore thanks to Donald
Trump as commander in chief. I gave him full credit
for this at the time, and I think it's another
one of these moments where a lot of people who
even were favorably disposed toward Trump thought maybe on foreign policy,
(02:39):
you know who knows, right, he didn't have any foreign
policy experience before becoming president. But if you look at
his foreign policy record, it is first of all, the
no New Wars thing, pretty big deal, well done on that.
You look at his foreign policy record, it was actually
one of the strongest areas foreign policy. I think you
could argue in the war years of Trump was one
(03:00):
of the strongest portfolios he had, and that includes US
trade with China taking action on that. It includes the
renegotiation of the US Mexico Canada trade agreement, and these
are things that he did often. At the We're getting
(03:21):
a lot of criticism from people on the right, as
I've said, who would say, oh, this is you know,
trade wars lead to real wars, and oh my gosh,
he killed Costum Solomoni. Now the Iranians are really going
to get us. Well, we're the ones who are in
the position of strength. Although you don't get that feeling
when you have a Democrat administration like Joe Biden's administration
(03:41):
in charge. You don't get the sense that America has
the most powerful and capable and fearsome military machine of
any country, any state, any entity in the history of
the planet. You don't get that sense sometimes when a
Democrat like Biden is running things, even though it is
still true. But the killing of Costom Solomani was a
(04:07):
at the time, a bold move because the conventional wisdom
had been he's too important to Iran If we do
something against Costom Solomani. Oh my gosh, the backlash against US. No,
that wasn't true, because the Iranians, no backlash. Okay, you
want to. You know, Costam Solimani was a legitimate target
(04:29):
for all the reasons I laid out. He's traveling as
an enemy combatant in a theater of war. And you know,
they at some level also recognize one thing the Iranian
Revolutionary Guard Corps and the Mullahs in general recognize is force,
because Mike makes right in their world, and we have
(04:50):
a whole lot more force to deploy than they do.
It doesn't mean that we go looking for fights and
a reckless but it does mean that when you're killing
American soldiers, you don't get to get away with it.
When you're just orchestrating the deaths of Americans and also
the loss of arms and limbs and sight of American
soldiers because Cossam Solomoni thinks that it advances the interests
of Iran, He's got to be a dead man. That's
(05:14):
just a question of when. And that the fact that
they have this commemoration of Costam Solomony is certainly a
window into what matters in the Islamic Republic. Revolutionary Republic
of Iran. You know, it's definitely not republic a real republic,
but anyway, certainly what matters there. And now we get
(05:36):
to what happens in response to this, because this is
a big thing, multiple explosions killing one hundred plus people
at a symbol of Iranian state mourning. There's already reporting.
I'm seeing this reporting that strikes me as well. A
lot of the people reporting on the stuff don't really
(05:57):
know anything, so it's not surprising they're saying, well, you know,
Israel killed a be Root based Hamas leader yesterday, and
they throw that in there like, well, this has to
do with that. Yeah, but Israel hasn't done dual bombings
killing over one hundred people. I assume most, if not
all civilians. That's not in the Israeli m O targeted
(06:21):
assassinations of enemy combatants that they do. But this could
be any number of different extremist entities and groups in
Iran that operate within Iran. It could be a Sunni
militant group. There are a number of different factions inside
of Iran that oppose the regime. So it's just not
(06:42):
clear who did this yet. No one has yet taken responsibility.
But there will certainly be people in the Middle East
who will just for even if they don't believe it.
You know, there'll be leadership that says that somehow this
is tied to it to Israel, just to fan the
flames of hatred even more. But it's a reminder I
think also, you know, we have an election coming up,
(07:06):
and I saw these numbers. I'll share this with you.
Four in ten Americans according to a recent poll. I'm
trying to see what the polling company was here. I
cut off the link when I was doing my research,
but four in ten Americans say foreign policy should be
(07:27):
top priority in twenty twenty four top priority. Well, it's
worth looking at the record of the Biden regime on
this issue, I used to say, and I believe it
is very it's a very defensible point, because it's very
true that the greatest source of weakness. Isn't this all
(07:48):
amazing when you tie this together, my friends, the greatest
source of weakness for the Obama administration over its eight years.
And there's a lot of stuff that you could throw
out there right now, a lot of things you could
say and I would say, Okay, yeah, that's that's a valid,
valid entry into the worst category for the Obama administration.
(08:09):
But I think foreign policy was the single biggest, most obvious,
you know, realm of just one debacle after another under Obama.
And the way you could see this was everything every
area of the world look our foreign policy, you know,
vis A, vi Bolivia, or Thailand in any given moment,
(08:32):
that doesn't really matter all that much. Right, I'm not
saying those countries wi't matter and those people that I'm
just saying there are challenges and hot spots, and there
are places that are pretty much status quo. And when
you looked at the hot spots under the Obama administration,
they all got worse. They all got worse in the
Obama years. As a result of Obama decisions, you had
(08:53):
the collapse of Iraq and the rise of ISIS. You
had you know, the Taliban with stand the surge in
Helmand and Condahar in Afghanistan, and US the surge and
withdrawal plan. He said, we're surging, but we're withdrawing, and
he put out the dates. The whole thing was a mess.
Our relationship with Pakistan deteriorated, not that it was a
(09:13):
great relationship anyway. The situation in Syria completely fell apart,
turned into Syrian Civil War. I mean, I could do
the whole show just on and not ben Ghazi. I
know some of you're probably saying Benghazi Leibia. Of course
a mess, one mess after another. And why is this?
I think noteworthy in this moment, at this point in time,
who was appointed by Barack Obama to be in essence,
(09:42):
de facto foreign policy chief for his administration to handle
these issues, including, you know, handling negotiations in a place
like Ukraine and whether they'd get a billion dollar loan
guarantee or not only if you get rid of that prosecutor.
Remember this, it's Joe Biden. Joe Biden somehow managed to
be in this upside down world of Democrats where true
(10:03):
is false and false is true. Biden became the addition
to the Obama ticket that was supposed to bring foreign
policy wisdom into the situation, and it was actually a
shambles for eight years. I used to even when I
was at CNN, I would debate Libs on Obama foreign policy.
(10:25):
They would just get absolutely crushed, not just because I
know more than them, which I did not to be
that guy, but I did, But beyond that because the
record was so weak, you know, I mean, if we're
talking about a football team and they're to twelve, I
think it's pretty easy to make the case that they're
not a very good football team. Right. That was the
(10:45):
Obama administration on foreign policy. Oh in twelve or fourteen
or however many games or a season. I have no idea, Clay,
where are you? But this is I think a place
where you will see if the Republican candidates and likely
Trump can focus the American people's attention on this enough.
(11:07):
The withdrawal in Afghanistan was an absolute debacle. The situation
in the Middle East has been getting much more volatile.
It's always a little volatile, it's the Middle East, but
it's getting much more valid under Joe Biden's tenure. And
then the Ukraine Russia war, which I think has been
(11:31):
really filled with the Obama administration has led a delusional
narrative on this. It is delusional to think that the
Ukrainian military, even with all the support and all the
money we give them, is going to be able to
defeat and end the Russians by military means. It's delusional,
but that's what we've been told time and again, look
(11:52):
at the New York Times. Oh, this spring offensive is
going to come through. It's a failure. And you have
to wonder if this does turn into a negotiated settlement,
will the Obama I'm sorry, the Biden administration, which is
really just the continuation of the third term of Obama anyway,
But will the Biden administration push back any negotiations We
(12:16):
already know they've they've meddled before in this to stop
a negotiated settlement that was reported very early in that conflict.
Will the will the Biden administration delay a settlement to
what's going on in Ukraine and Russia? Because and there's
so many ways they can do it. Oh, we just
think maybe one more fighting season and they'll get the
(12:38):
upper hand. I mean, there's they can always justify this,
but in reality, will they do it? Because they don't
want Biden to have to turn around to all the
people putting Ukraine flags in their Twitter bios and say, yeah,
all that fighting and all that stuff, we really just
should have negotiated from the beginning, because what about all
the Ukrainian soldiers who have lost their lives in the
last year. What was that for If it's just going
(13:01):
to turn into Ukraine, gives some territory and Russia stops
the military onslaught. What was the delay for? Was it necessary? Now?
I know people could argue, oh, well they had to,
you know, they had to bleed the Russians more before
they would come to the table. Yeah, but we heard
that really wasn't the case in the beginning. A promise,
a guarantee of Ukraine not joining NATO and some territory
(13:25):
in the east of the country, and this thing could
be over. But nope, nope, a lot of Ukraine flags
and they're gonna they're gonna defeat that. There was a
time when there were lunatics running around saying maybe this
means the end of Putin and you know, the whole
government in Moscow is gonna fall and Russia is gonna
I mean, it got crazy. You remember on that. It's
(13:46):
a mess. It's a mess. And so if these polls
are right, and there's there are forty percent of Americans
now who think the foreign policy is important, to think
it's the most important issue. I'll be honest with you.
I that seems high to me, but I can understand,
given what's going on, why people. Have you mentioned China
(14:07):
and Taiwan. It's a whole other part of this. But
they have the wrong team in charge. Everyone, they have
the wrong team in charge. They're the wrong team in
charge for eight years of Obama and now we're going
to the fourth year of a disastrous Bide administration and
we all know it. Blinking is is a buffoon. The
people that are entrusted to do what is in the
(14:28):
American people's best interest on the global stage are clowns.
They're clowns. And you know, people can say whatever they
want about Trump's style and Trump's verbiage and everything else.
Look at the foreign policy results. Put them up against
any Democrat going back for decades and say that he's
(14:49):
done much better. He's done much better. So maybe this
is something that moves the needle in a meaningful way
in this election year. I certainly hope that it does.

Reality Telling The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show. So
we were talking about Biden just now and how is
a failure on foreign policy. We're talking about Claudine Gay
in the first hour and how she's a plagiarist. Let's
(16:14):
do a little flashback. You're gonna combine these ideas. Joe
Biden the plagiarist. This is back in nineteen eighty seven.
You're gonna hear it. Biden's side by side with British
Member of Parliament Neil Kinnock. Hmmm, it might sound kind
of familiar. Play it. Why am I the first Kinnick
in a thousand generations to be able to get the university?
Speaker 2 (16:38):
Why is it that Joe Biden is the first in
his family ever to go to a university?
Speaker 1 (16:44):
Was it because they were weak? Those people who could
work eight hours the underground and then came up and
played football week.
Speaker 2 (16:52):
My ancestors who worked in the coal mines in northeast Pennsylvania,
who come up after twelve hours and play football for
four hours. No, it's not because because they weren't as smart.
It's not because it didn't work as hard.
Speaker 1 (17:04):
It's because they didn't.
Speaker 2 (17:05):
Have a platform upon which to stand. It was because
there was no platform upon which they could stand.
Speaker 1 (17:15):
I think it goes on. But yeah, Joe Biden's like,
I'm just gonna take a speech that some other dude
said in England because you know who's gonna figure that out?
And I'm gonna give that speech like it's my speech
and no one's gonna notice. Well, Joe, it turns out
actually and that really sunk his first presidential bid. The
thing I will say about Joe Biden that you you
(17:37):
have to look at with some degree of awe is
his just utter shamelessness. Fifty years in politics of pure shamelessness.
It's amazing. So many people use the beginning of a
year as a time to reset how they're spending and
to save some money off your cell phone service. Still
(17:57):
with rizon At and T or T Mobile, make the
switch to pure Talk like I did. On a monthly basis,
you'll be saving as much as eighty bucks a month
when you switch to pure Talk. They have a limited
plan starting at just twenty bucks a month. Get phenomenal
coverage on America's most dependable five G network. Look, this
is my cell phone company. I'm a big believer, So
why I am with Puretalk. That's why I took pure
(18:19):
Talk with me overseas to my trip with Kerry in Scotland.
Crystal clear connection, no problems, just grade five G service,
great cell phone connection and the best customer service you're
gonna find anywhere. Plus you can save for a family
of four about one thousand dollars a year. Do what
I did. Make the switch to pure talk dial pound
two fifty say the keywords Clay and Buck. That's pound
(18:42):
two five zero say Clay and Buck. Make the switch
to pure talk today. So I uh, I broke one
of my own rules. Over the holiday. I went to
see a movie in a movie theater on my birthday.
I went to see the Ferrari movie about Enzo Ferrari.
(19:03):
Which is the way that Adam Driver sounds when he's
playing Enzo Ferrari. It's like it's like a guy who's
hired to play Mario and Luigi at a kid's birthday party.
He's like, hey, my name is Enzo. I make a
the pizza on the spaghetti. It is not good. It
is not good. Some people can disagree with me on
the Ferrari movie. The first hour is absolutely brutal hour
(19:29):
and change. You're just watching like miserable people and this
and a failing or failed marriage. And there's nothing really
about the cars. And I mean there's one scene, there's
one scene where Enzo for now, look understand, Ferrari had
all these brilliant For those of you who are gonna
come at me on this one. Ferrari's are amazing pieces
(19:51):
of really art and engineering, and unfortunately I get subjected
to far too many of them revving their motors outside
my house in Miami, because a lot of Ferrari's here.
But they're beautiful cars and have been for a very
long time, and it's one of the most recognizable and
iconic brands on the planet. People just wear t shirts
(20:12):
with Ferrari symbol on it because it's cool, you know,
and obviously the increasing popularity of Formula One and the
Ferrari team. Scuderia Ferrari Suderia is Italian for stable, like
the stable full of the horses, Ferrari horses or Scuderia scuderia.
Is that how they say it. I don't know. I
(20:33):
don't other than me Kiamo buck, I don't really know
what to say in Italian. But I went to see
the movie, and you know, people can agree disagree. I
thought it was one of the worst movies I've ever
seen in a movie theater. You know, Yeah, the racing
sequences were kind of cool, but before anyone says, oh,
you just don't like racing or something, Ford versus Ferrari
(20:54):
is a great movie, Christian Bale, Matt Damon, great movie
and dealt with some of the Ferrari stuff in a
much better movie than this. Trying to think of Oh
I love the what was the one Rush? Great movie,
really entertaining, really well done. The guy they have playing
Niki Lauda, the storied Formula one racer who's just passed
(21:16):
away a few years ago, does an incredible job playing
Niki Lauda. And it's a really good movie. So I
like race car movies. Just understand, I went to this
movie to like this movie. It is not a good movie.
The accents are ridiculous. Penelope pru Cruz is a Spanish
actress who speaks English with a Spanish accent, and now
(21:38):
they wanted to speak English with an Italian accent. I
got news for you. It doesn't work out so well.
Speaker 3 (21:43):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (21:44):
And then also the the like mistress of Enzo Ferrari.
You know he's Italian, He's got a mistress. You know
that one does back in the day in Italy. I
guess she has no accent suddenly like she sounds like
she's from Iowa or something, you know. So the whole
thing it's a mess. At one point He points to
a couple of pigeons and he says, freedom for that
(22:05):
pigeon is pie. I was like, is that supposed to be?
Is this supposed to be clever? Like, well, what does
that even mean? Is? I thought it was horrible. Some
people disagree with my I'll tell you. My brother and
my dad's always with me. They thought it was horrible too.
And there's a really graphic scene in it, like way
more graphic traffic act or you know, racing accent, a
traffic accident, racing accident that I needed to be But
(22:28):
my biggest problem with it isn't even uh, it isn't
even that. The movie I thought absolutely stunk. I give
it like a d. My biggest problem isn't so much that.
My biggest problem with it. Also, you hate Adam Driver,
you hate Enzo Ferrari, and this guy said all this
really interesting stuff. You know, he would say things. The
real Enzo Ferrari said things like tell a child to
(22:49):
draw a car and he will make it red. And
that's why Ferrari had to be read because of the
wonderment of what a child thinks of as what a
beautiful race car is. You know, he says things like
he was a great agitator of men and that was
really his skill set, was that he knew how to
get people to do their best anyway. And then the
movie you get none of that. You just get the
(23:09):
guy who's like, oh, like, I'm my car company is
a running out of mindey and I cheat on my
wife and a very mean man, and I don't love anybody.
You're like, what is this?
Speaker 3 (23:18):
Like?
Speaker 1 (23:19):
Why am I watching this? There's no sense of the
story of Ferrari and the the place that it goes to,
and then it becomes this incredible and iconic brand anyway,
and I hate it. The worst part of the whole experience, though,
and I'm not alone in this. I can bring you
all back to agree with me on this one is
that they had me sit through thirty minutes of not
(23:41):
even previews. I actually I'm old school. I like previews
when they're pretty good. Now it's not as exciting as
it used to be when I was a kid in
the golden era of cinema that was the nineteen nineties,
because now you can go online. There are websites, you know,
on YouTube, you can see every major movie trail or
whenever you want. You can watch it on your phone,
(24:02):
so it's really not like the unveiling of some cool
new movie. You know, if you were in theaters and
you saw the trailer for Terminator two back in the day,
it's like, oh my gosh, I gotta wait seven months
or something to see this. That's going to be amazing.
Though you don't really have that anymore. But I kind
of like trailers. I'm okay with it movies now. And
maybe you know, I don't know how many of you
(24:22):
have experienced this yourselves. It's like some torture chamber where
they make you sit there for thirty minutes watching crappy commercials,
not even trailers, commercials like you know, hey, you must
buy this candy, and you're sitting there like, I don't
I've paid I don't even know. My brother took me
(24:43):
because my birthday. You know, you're paying twenty five dollars
a seat or something crazy for the movie. Now you're
paying twenty five dollars. You're already in there for like
two hours in change, which is really longer than I
want to sit in any chair other than this radio chair.
And then and they make you shit through crappy commercial
so they can you know, further mind, they're just monetizing
(25:04):
your time. The movie theaters are being disrespectful of the
customer's time. And so I'm just telling you I'm not
going back to a movie theater. I'm out. I'm done.
I've said this before. Some of you have listened to
me for many years now, I've been I've been through
this before. I can't do this anymore. But I can't.
I can't do it anymore. The experience at home. I
sit there, I go. I've got a flat screen half
(25:27):
carry is here at Asker. I don't know how big
art she got our TV. I think it's like sixty
five inches. We got a big flat screen TV. And
now huge flat screen TVs you can get for you know,
a couple of hundred bucks. Basically, it's technology has gotten
so inexpensive. And you got a huge flat screen TV.
I got a giant comfortable couch. I got refrigerator with
all my favorite food. I got my cute little dog.
Granted now is like the size of snuffleophagus because she's
(25:50):
hit fifteen pounds and I can't believe how fast she's
growing up. But I got the cute little dog, and
and I have no one talking, no one looking at
their phone, and no one making me watch thirty minutes
of pre roll thirty minutes of pre roll commercials. It
was truly thirty minutes long. And I see there's someone
a here we go, there's some of the film. Writer
(26:14):
Richard Zoglin has demanded now that movie theaters cite their
actual start time for the movie. No more getting people
to show up for a three o'clock movie and the
film starts at three thirty five. I don't want to
shit in a movie theater and watch commercials. Obviously. Now
(26:35):
I know some of you can say, oh, well you should.
First of all, I didn't know that they did this
because I can god the movies never and if you're
anything like me after this experience, you're not going back
to the movies. So they're doing all the wrong things here.
The only thing that's gotten better about movies recently is
they finally figured out I remember that if you had
someone who was too tall sitting in front of you.
When I was growing up going to the movies, you
(26:56):
wouldn't see anything. You just start at the back, and
if someone had like a really stupid hat on, you're
just standing at their hat the whole movie. You know,
you couldn't see anything. But yeah, I just got to
tell you that was what I gave you a bunch
of things in my review of Ferrari, which I thought
was absolutely horrible. And uh, and then I tell you
that the movie theater experience. I don't know how the
(27:16):
movie theaters are staying in business. Honestly. I know that
for people, there's like a nostalgia factor to it. Look,
I fell for it. I went with my dad, my brother.
We were trying to watch the movie No guy, guys,
guys day at the movie theater, watching for I was
pouring rain here in Miami, so there's nothing. You know,
it's pouring rain in Miami. You know, I read books
all the time, so that's not like, oh, I'm gonna
read a book today. It was on my vacation and
(27:38):
so we went and see it. And it's just I
can't imagine that the movie business can continue like this. Uh.
Speaking of the movie business, there's a an outspoken feminist
director who has been tapped to run this Star Wars franchise.
Now going forward, anyone want to place bets on how
(27:59):
this one's gonna go? Hmm, we'll talk about that probably
a little bit more tomorrow. But yeah, bucks movie reviews,
Ciskel and Ebert have got nothing on, nothing on me.
I remember them from back in the day. Actually, did
one of them? Pardon me? Did one of them pass away?
Are they both? They're both okay? Good? Am I right?
Speaker 2 (28:17):
No?
Speaker 1 (28:17):
I think one of them passing. I'm sorry. One of
them did pass away? Yes, I think one. I forget
which one one of them passed away. But I grew
up watching Ciskel and Ebert, so I don't know whoever,
the who who's the biggest movie critic these days? Is
there one? Is there one person who's like the critic
because the thumbs up thumbs down was the thing I
grew up with watching it on TV. Anyway, we'll get
(28:38):
into some of your calls. Eight hundred two eight two
to eight A two. We will get to in just
a moment. You know, for a lot of people, starting
the New York can feel a little bit overwhelming. You
want to have the energy after the holidays. I know
what this is like. But you know, if you're like me,
you hit debris and cranberry sauce a little too hard.
So getting out of first gear can be tough. Well
(28:59):

I highly recommend you become a soubscriber. You can also
light me up with vip emails or even guys, I'm
on Twitter for any of you who are on Twitter
(31:03):
now called X, it is a free speech platform, or
at least the closest thing we have to it of
its scale. I know there's also Truth and Rumble, and
I give you know all due credit to both of
those platforms as well, but I mean, of the of
the mega platforms, you know, global platforms, X is the
only one where you can actually say things about the
(31:24):
libs that they don't want you to say, So you
can tweet it me during the show. I always people
are so funny they'll tweet at me. I'm like, not
that many of you are tweeting. So many of you
call an email and I love it and I appreciate it,
and thank you so much. Call an email. We're great
on those, so please keep them coming. But you can.
You can tweet at me on X and I will
probably see it, and I will probably tell you if
you like the Ferrari movie that you are wrong. But
(31:46):
I would say this the other movie that we that
I was thinking about, and I'm really disappointed because I
like Michael Mann, who directed Ferrari a lot as a director.
I love Last the Mokends. I think it's a phenomenally
good movie start to finish. Daniel de Lewis starring in
that one. I like Heat another excellent. It's thirty minutes
(32:09):
too long. They needed an editor. It's thirty minutes too long.
I could cut thirty minutes of fat out of it.
But Heat's a very very good movie. The gun sequence
is obviously incredible. To sit down between Pacino and de
Niro over coffee is as just quite a moment in
cinematic history. But you know, I just was expecting more
from Michael Mann on this one. I know he's gotten
(32:30):
a bit older. Same thing with Ridley Scott and the
and the Napoleon movie, which I have not seen, and
I really wanted a good Napoleon movie. You know, it
was amazing to me. I really want a good Napoleon.
I'm hopeful that the Denzel Washington starring Hannibal movie about
Hannibal Barka not in the Second Punic War Ancient Rome,
(32:50):
not you know, Hannibal, the guy that you know eats
people's liver with fava beans or whatever. Yeah, that's a
different Hannibal. I'm hoping that will be a good movie
or a good show. I think it's a show that
they're making for Netflix. But a lot of the team here, well,
we got one thumbs up one thumbs down on the
gods Zilla movie. And what I guess I have to
(33:10):
ask is team, would I like that movie? Because I
do the fantasy genre stuff, I'm okay like I like
Game of Thrones a lot. Lord of the Rings is,
you know, amazing to me, and the Hobbit since I
was a kid of the Hobbit movie was a mess,
but the Lord of the Rings trilogy was phenomenal. I
don't know if I would like the gods I'm usually
(33:31):
not a Godzilla guy. I guess that's what I'm saying.
But people are telling me that the god Zilla movie
is really really good. Okay, Ali's telling me I'll be
impressed by the special effects. Do you like the original
Godzilla movie from nineteen fifty four? The team is telling
me that you got to go check it out. All right,
let's take some of the calls here. Raoul in Houston, Texas.
(33:54):
What's going on, Raoul, Well, lady Hayley.
Speaker 3 (34:02):
Nicky Haley wants to draw Donald Trump into a debate,
but she's gonna be start bedmouthing him on the air.
He's gonna respond, and then she's going to come out
and say see how Donald Trump treat women and Donnal
Trump is not gonna fall for that. That's how come
he willing debate her. Not because he's hiding the way
she says. And I hope, oh.
Speaker 1 (34:23):
I think I think you're right that he's not. He's not.
Thank you, Rowland Houston. I think you're right that he's
not going to do it. And I also think you
never have to worry about Trump on stage throwing verbal punches.
I mean, that's one that's one thing that you know.
I do not have to worry about Trump's ability to,
you know, to mix it up in front of a crowd.
So I don't think. Look, Nicki Haley, you know she's
(34:48):
you have to have I think at some level for
most people running for president, you have to have an
almost irrational belief in your own capability and in your
ability to you know, your ability to win and your
capabilities to do the job. I think you have to.
There has to be something a little off where you're like,
I'm the only one. I'm the one who can do this.
Speaker 3 (35:10):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (35:11):
So yeah, I don't think she's gonna be able to
get Trump to do it. And I think the Trump
will uh get you know, he'll get much higher ratings
over on Fox. Then they'll get over on So you
know that's for sure. Let me see, Well, I was
talking about movies. I'll get into this tomorrow. The new
Star Wars they got a new director. Uh do we
(35:32):
have the new snow White supposed to come out sometime
this year. They've delayed it again, right, the New snow
White movie that they made where they had the like
the woke non dwarves and then they are, but they're
not going to be Dwarves, but now they are. I
don't know, it's a it's a total mess. Yeah. What
we really need are actually, uh just great directors and
writers who are in positions to tell stories and have
(35:54):
the budgets to do it the way they want to
do it again, which is what we had until out
the last ten years. The last ten years, there's just
so especially movies, streaming shows. They still make some good
streaming shows, but you know, nine out of ten movies
that get released I think are just garbage, and it's
because of the agendas and the politics, and it's a
(36:15):
shame because really movies are in a lot of ways,
you could argue, and I guess TV too pre eminent
art form in American culture, and I just wish that,
you know, they'd make the good stuff like Braveheart and
Gladiator and Saving Private Ryan. I don't know, you know,
but what else goes on that list best in Show?
I love that movie. There's a lot of good movies
out there, all right, Everybody, a lot of fun talking
(36:36):
to here on this show. Excited to be with you tomorrow,
playback Friday. It's gonna be a strong week. Shields Hop
