Hour 3 of The Clay Travis and Buck Show is driven by listener interaction and focuses heavily on airline travel frustrations, government oversight of aviation, property rights and squatter laws, housing policy, medical culture debates, and a lighter discussion involving a proposed commemorative coin honoring President Donald Trump. With Clay Travis attending a soccer match, Buck Sexton hosts the hour solo and immediately returns to a topic that generated significant audience reaction earlier in the program: the growing problems affecting air travel across the United States.
A major portion of Hour 3 is dedicated to airline delays, airport operations, airline staffing, and transportation infrastructure. Buck argues that airline service has deteriorated significantly in recent years, citing increases in lengthy tarmac delays, flight disruptions, cancellations, and passenger frustrations. He challenges explanations that focus solely on weather, arguing that staffing shortages, operational decisions, and cost-cutting measures deserve greater scrutiny. Throughout the discussion, Buck emphasizes the importance of fixing systemic aviation problems, modernizing air traffic infrastructure, improving airline customer service, and ensuring greater accountability from both airlines and government regulators. Airline travel, airport congestion, FAA oversight, transportation policy, aviation staffing, and passenger rights become dominant themes throughout the first part of the hour.
The show then pivots to an unexpectedly popular topic: the growing national problem of squatters occupying private property. Buck discusses a television series focused on helping property owners reclaim homes from squatters and uses it as a launching point for a larger conversation about property rights, landlord protections, housing law, and legal reform. He argues that many state laws have become overly burdensome for homeowners and landlords attempting to remove individuals who illegally occupy properties. The discussion examines how eviction procedures, tenant protections, court delays, and legal expenses can leave property owners facing enormous financial burdens while squatters remain in possession of homes for extended periods. Property ownership rights, housing policy, landlord-tenant disputes, rental property management, real estate law, and squatter reform emerge as key topics during this segment.
Buck also highlights stories involving homeowners who have spent months or even years attempting to regain possession of their properties, often incurring significant financial losses. He argues that several states, especially those with more restrictive eviction laws, have created legal environments that unintentionally reward illegal occupancy. The discussion expands into broader debates about court systems, government regulation, housing affordability, legal fairness, and state-level legislative reforms designed to protect homeowners. He notes that some states, including Florida, have recently taken steps to strengthen protections for property owners and make it easier to remove unlawful occupants.
Much of Hour 3 consists of listener calls reacting to both the airline and squatter discussions. Callers share experiences involving travel delays, airport frustrations, rental property disputes, and difficulties navigating landlord-tenant laws. Several callers describe what they view as excessive tenant protections and lengthy legal battles involving non-paying occupants. Buck uses these calls to discuss broader questions involving economic freedom, government regulation, property rights, and the role of public policy in shaping housing markets and business operations.
Another theme explored during the hour involves housing costs and urban policy. Buck briefly references New York City's affordability challenges and criticizes policies that he believes contribute to rising housing costs. He argues that government decisions can have significant impacts on real estate markets, investment incentives, property ownership, and overall affordability. The discussion ties into a larger conversation about economic policy, urban governance, housing supply, and quality-of-life concerns facing residents in major metropolitan areas.
Later in the hour, the conversation shifts to a debate involving medical education and gender identity issues. Responding to a caller, Buck discusses comments made by a medical school official concerning pregnancy and biological sex. The segment focuses on tensions between traditional biological definitions and contemporary discussions surrounding gender identity. Buck argues that political and ideological debates have increasingly entered medical education and academic institutions, raising broader questions about science, healthcare training, higher education, public policy, and cultural debates surrounding gender issues.
The hour concludes with lighter commentary on a p

Speaker 1 (00:00):
The hour three of Clay and Buck kicks off right now.
For this hour just Buck Clay is, as you know,
on the way to the fancy soccer game called football
in many parts of the world, where my jolly English
team is squaring off against Argentina. That's where the tango
(00:20):
is from, right, Tango is Argentina, Samba is Brazil, and
tango is Argentina for the dances. Right, that sounds right whatever,
close enough. I'm not good at either of those. But yes,
there's a game that will be going on right after
the show, so you can listen to this whole hour,
and then you can if you choose to turn on
the semi finals of the World Cup. I hope England
brings home the trophy and we shall see. And I
(00:42):
will be somewhere, probably with my family here in New
York doing English soccer chants, although I'm worried those Argentinians.
They're a crafty bunch on the field, so he'll be
at that game. We have a couple things I want
to talk about this hour. First of all, I want
to open the lines. We just had the second transportation
Duffy on and he's a good man for giving us
(01:03):
his time to show up. And I have met the
secretary previously when he was a congressman, and I like him.
That said, I am entirely unsatisfied with what is going
on with the airlines right now. There are for you
know what, you can take my thoughts and opinions on
these things. There's also just the facts and the figures,
which I think is a good place to go. I
(01:24):
don't know how many of you fly frequently. I fly
much more than I would like to, so this is
something that comes up. But for example, if you ask
are airlines this is on groc cutting ground crews as
a cost cutting measure, and is that creating an increase
in tarmac delays? Tarmac delays over the last couple of
years are up over one hundred percent. Everybody. When I
(01:44):
say delays, I mean long delays, hours over three So
the delays are skyrocketing. That's happening. Now. We can say
it's COVID and that's fine. We could say it's staffing
issues from COVID and Biden being a moron, and that's fine.
We're two years into Trump, a lot of things are
being fixed. Let's fix that. So three hour plus domestic
(02:04):
delays have risen significantly, and there's also now the reality
of the staffing on the grounds. I asked that question
of ROC, it said, this is the direct response. Okay,
when you ask the question, are they saving margin? As in,
are they saving dollars by making you the passenger? Wait? Wait, wait, wait,
(02:30):
I'm not talking about weather. No one thinks you should
go fly in a thunderstorm. I get it. But have
they decided that they're going to increase their margin by
making you wait up to that three hour mark when
the fines actually kick in The response on GROC. Yes,
there are ongoing crew staffing challenges in aviation. Some of
it is tied to post pandemic recovery and cost pressure.
(02:52):
And these are creating delays, including the tarmac delays you're
talking about. So, yeah, they have cut staff or they
have insufficient staff for planes that land so that you
can get off the plane. And I'll tell you this
for people who don't like the rule. The rule went
into effect in twenty ten. The rule went into effect
(03:13):
under the Obama administration. For what it's worth, and you
say I don't like rules, buck Well, First of all,
the airline's been built out by the taxpayer twice in
the last twenty four years or so, twenty five years,
two bailouts, one during COVID, one after nine to eleven.
The airlines are also among the most heavily regulated industries
in the entire country right now. Now you can say
(03:33):
that's bad and we should have lessed regulation, and that's fine,
and I think there's certainly an argument for that. But
regulations that prevent you from being held captive on a
plane for ten hours at a time, I think that's
probably a good thing. That used to happen to people.
People would be on a hot tarmac in Phoenix and
they would have to wait for eight hours, unable to exit.
(03:54):
You're on the ground eight hours, can't go anywhere because
of costs that they don't want to have to refund
your ticket, they don't want to have to rebook you.
You know, tough for you, right, So they passed the
three hour rule. But more to the point, on time departures, cancelations,
long Ptarmact, delays, all of it is up over the
last two years, all of it and substantially up. It's
(04:18):
not the weather, and I think that some of the
leadership of the airlines has a big part in this
which should be looked at. But for those of you
who have experienced this, a lot of people need to
be on time and flying places for work and have
to deal with things. Why is it getting work. I'm
not saying, oh, but what about a thunderstorm. Yeah, of course,
no one's saying we're gonna have perfect aviation. But it's
(04:40):
gotten a lot worse in the last two years. And
that's the part of this that I find unacceptable. That's
the part of this that and the data speaks to
that on time departures down, cancelations up, ground tarmac stuff up.
If we need a lot better, and the Secretary Duffy
was talking about this, we need better air traffic control. Okay,
that needs to be a imminent priority. I mean this
is important because this can't just be done by the
(05:02):
private sector. Unfortunately, well, for better for worse, probably for worse.
The government is deeply involved in the aviation industry, so
it has to be something of a government fix. It
has to be a government option. So that's I want
to take your calls on this and hear from especially
any of you, if you work on a ground crew,
if you're a former pilot, you want to weigh in
on this stuff, or you have a horror story. You
(05:23):
know why my thing when viral. People are like, oh,
it's because you had you know how many flights I've
had canceled delayed over lest your tons. There's something different
about landing and being and landing in calm weather by
the way, and being told, yeah, you're just gonna sit
here for two hours. We don't have a gate for you.
There are gates, but not a gate for you. How
different is the technology really? How about take one of
those little rampy things that can go along the side
(05:43):
of the plane and let us get off there. Oh
my gosh, it's a crazy idea. We got elon trying
to get us to Mars, but we can't figure out
a way to be able to get two hundred people
off a plane that's already landed on the ground. It's unacceptable.
It's unacceptable. And you know they send out somebody because
my thing went viral on X and that's why, you know,
(06:04):
they send out somebody from the airline to be like,
I'm sorry about your frustration. So I'm like, I don't
want sorry. You're not sorry, you didn't do anything. I'm
not a jerk. I'm not gonna yell at you. I'm
not mad at the airline attendance. I'm not mad at
the pilot. Let's fix the system. Let's make the system better.
That's my only It's not about being mad. It's not
about being somebody you know who's gonna like yell at people.
I don't do that, of course, because also when someone
(06:25):
could video me and I look like a jerk. That's
not the only reason I don't do it, but that
would be one reason. I want this to get better.
And if anyone who says it can't get better, well
why has it gotten a whole lot worse in two years.
If it's staffing, if it's funding, if it's training, if
it's whatever, then this needs to be absolutely prioritized across
the board. And I mean also, we got members of Congress,
they got plenty of say on this. Ted Cruz on
(06:47):
the Transportation Committee for the United States Senate. Let's have
some of the airline CEOs explain why is this getting worse.
Don't tell me it's because there have been so many
more thunderstorms in the last two years. That's not true.
It is getting worse. A lot of people fly it's
a huge industry. It matters. Let's make this better. So
that's my little say on that, let's go to something
(07:09):
else that just crossed my radar, which I thought was
so interesting as well. On the on the let's fix
things side of the equation, I stumbled across I don't
usually watch standard television so much so that when I'm
in a hotel room we have I have to like
remember again how to use the guide and everything else,
(07:29):
because I just have a smart TV at home with
some streaming services. Uh, and that's it. I know were
everything is internet based. I don't have cable. So I'm
going through and I stumble upon this A and E
show called Squatters. Have you guys seen this? I love
this show. This show is amazing and I've really done
(07:53):
a lot of research into it because I have not
experienced this, but I have close friends who have where
and it's usually the same people go oh, it's but
the fact cat landlords. Those people are morons. They don't
know anything. It's usually someone with like an elderly family
member and they pass and then you know, during the
(08:17):
the sort of post period of figuring out everything, there's
someone who just knows and they move in, someone from
the neighborhood, some transient or takes it, or it's somebody
has an investment property that they're hoping is going to
be part of their nest egg for retirement. They have
one home that they want to rent out and they're
hoping that that they'll build the equity and all these
other things. And then some guy or gal. Because by
(08:40):
the way, this is one of those crimes where it
actually is you know, you're talking about shootings. It's like
ninety five percent guys squatting. You get a fair amount
of women that do this too. It's not is a
This is a both sides of the gender spectrum issue.
The laws in so many states about squatting are insane,
(09:01):
and it is so unfair. It is great and I'll
give you some examples. And this is why the show
I think is caught on so much. This is the
first A and E show I've watched, probably since the one.
What's the one where they're really cold with the crabs
and you know, they're they're they're they're the cold. They're great. Yes,
Dave Deadly is catch deadlest catch thank you? Yeah, the
one with the Alaska guys are like you know, I'm
(09:22):
gonna make eighty grand in three weeks as long as
I don't lose a hand pulling these crabs out of
the freezing cold water. Like that's That show was was cool.
But this A and E show, it has this guy
I'm not forgetting his name, but he's like this, he's
the squatter Hunter and and he has this thing where
he's realized, if you have a lawful lease, how can
(09:45):
a squatter Because the problem is the squatter has all
these protections built in to stop landlords from being able
to evict you. In California and in New York, it's
those are the two worst states for this, no surprise,
but there are a lot of states where this is
the case. It is so expensive and time consuming to
get rid of somebody who is who is not paying
(10:06):
rent and who has no lawful right to be on
your property that you end up having to pay them
off to leave. This happened to a friend of mine.
He bought a home. Wasn't his primary residence. He was
going to renovate it and then rent it out or
sell it. But he bought a home in Washington, d c. Which,
as you can imagine, is pretty much as bad as
(10:26):
New York on this stuff. The guy broke in Okay,
never had lawful acts of the place, breaking and entering.
But they know the rules. These squatters know the rules.
It was a it was a nice home and it
was under rento, but it was a nice place. Got
utilities set up in his name. It took a year
to get rid of him, a year of court and
(10:48):
legal stuff. You can imagine what those expenses were. And
in the end he had to give him a forty
thousand dollars check to leave. No recoup of rents, no
penalty for the squatter. And by this there are people
who have systematically done this. It's because think about that.
You get to live rent free and you might even
get a payoff at the end, and all you have
(11:10):
is some person like, hey, like my life savings went
into this, and like now I can't pay my bills. Haha,
tough for you. That's what ends up happening. So it is.
And I know tons, I'm sure some of you have
stories like this. I know tons, I know tons of
people who have dealt with this or know somebody who
(11:32):
has dealt with this. So this guy, what he does,
the squatter hunter is he shows up and he says, look,
I have a lease. So now he's essentially the roommate
from hell. Now he's in a position where he is
gonna Flash Shelton. Now that is a cooler name than
Buck Sexton. Flash Shelton. That's legit. By the way, can
(11:55):
we invite him on that? I would love to have
him on the show. Can we invite him on the show?
You know, I know we don't really do a lot
of like more pop culture stuff here, but I would
love to talk to this guy because especially what people
saw during COVID. There were people who owned an investment
property during COVID who went bank basically like ran out
of money, you know, went bankrupt or close to bankrupt
while somebody was squatting in their property and used all
(12:18):
these sort of COVID exceptions into as if that had
anything to do with anything. You can't leave because you might,
you can't move because you might get a cold. The
whole thing was absurd. And remember the Supreme Court had
to overturn the bid Administration on just saying yeah, you can't.
You can't evict anybody at all during COVID. I mean, though,
that thing was nuts. States are beginning to address this
(12:40):
more aggressively, and they need to and they're changing, Like
Florida just got better on this. Now you can call
the sheriff because this has gotten completely out of control
and it's just an injustice. It's an injustice enabled by statute,
it's an injustice enabled by representatives depending on what now.
(13:01):
I know, it's not every state. Some of you in
Oklahoma are probably like, you know, they got like thirty
minutes to get out of my property. I mean, it's
very different depending on where you are. But in a
lot of these states it is. It is completely wrong
what happens, and it's because of idiot politicians who want
to seem like they're tenant friendly when in reality they
have just enabled this whole class of absolute grifters. And
(13:24):
then of course these costs are pass on to people
and the legal costs and everything. It's madness. So if
you have any stories about that too, by the way,
but I can say the show with this flash Shelton guy.
It's great because he does what I would do. He's like, Okay,
I'm now your roommate. You know what, Let's blast some
death metal. Let's have the cops come and you tell
them that I, meaning flash have a lease, you don't,
(13:48):
and you want me to go because my music is
too loud. Cops aren't going to do anything about that.
Good luck. You've got a roommate problem now, and guess
what the squad. I looked this up because I was like,
this has to be entirely staged. This has to be now.
I think it's pretty real. Actually, because I looked up
the statue, I know that the squatter problem is entirely real.
And then his his reaction to it. There's no there's
(14:10):
no way the the person who is squatting could try
to take the new roommate from hell to court. But
guess what, now they're in the court process too, So
if they change the locks or they do anything now,
they're gonna be on the wrong side of the law
very quickly and Face Reel finds it. So anyways, I
love that I've watched, like I don't watch anything. I
(14:32):
watched like five episodes of this in a row and
A and E last night. I thought it was a
great show. We'll talk either airlines or squatting. How about that?
Get you guys fired up. July is National grilling month.

welcome back into Clay and Buck.
Speaker 2 (15:42):
Here.
Speaker 1 (15:43):
We got a lot of calls. Let's get to them
and we'll take some now. And also on the other
side of the breaks, if you're on hold, stay with us,
Bill and Sacramento. You want to talk. What's up?
Speaker 3 (15:50):
Bill Buck? You know your guys are the best I've
listened to you for since you guys started. And I'm
a big, big guy, was a big Rush Limbaugh listener.
And Mark Levin is really I met him in the
Reagan Library.
Speaker 1 (16:07):
But you know, Mark is great. You know Mark, Mark
let me, Mark let me go onto his show twice
to talk about my book. So I'm I've also been
a long time Mark Levin fan.
Speaker 4 (16:17):
But go ahead, Oh yeah, I mean, I know, I yeah, Mark,
he's you know, a legend, pops about a legend.
Speaker 3 (16:30):
And Mark thinks so highly of you and you guys,
you guys work together and like that. But no one
can pull one over on you or Mark or Clay.
Of course, I talk good about Clay too, you know.
Speaker 1 (16:48):
So, uh, but so what's top what's top of your mind?
Speaker 2 (16:51):
Bill?
Speaker 1 (16:51):
I appreciate the time words. We only got a minute here,
get to it.
Speaker 3 (16:55):
Oh yeah, you know the airline thing.
Speaker 5 (16:57):
I think my opinion, I've been following their top radio
for like eleven years all over the place, and the
far left and all that. You know, Sean Dunkey really
didn't address that delay on the tarmac on a crystal
clear day.
Speaker 3 (17:18):
I mean, it's the staff. I could see through that
and he you know.
Speaker 1 (17:26):
Yeah, Well, look, Bill, I appreciate you calling in. We're
about to get into a break here. We'll take more
calls the other side of this. By the way, a
lot of you want to talk about this, and also
the eviction thing. I'll just say this, Look at the
airlines are cutting corners and cutting hours out of your
life as a result. We should at least know that.
And I'm telling you that that's what's happening, so you
can care about it or not. But this whole thing
about hiding behind weather or whatever, that's not true. That's
(17:49):
just not true. We all know that there's weather. Weather
hasn't gotten worse in the last two years. Airline staffing
has and they're doing this as a cost cutting measure,
and they're doing this with a lot of federal help,
and you know, regulation everything else. Anyway, I can't fix
it all right the second, but I want to fix
it overall for all of us. Rapid radios. I love
these guys. Everyone loves a deal right at Rapid Radios.
(18:10):
They want to get you a fantastic deal. Walkie talkies,
that's what Rapid radios has, but they've got nationwide range

That's Rapid Radios dot Com slash Bundle. Welcome back in
(18:54):
here to Clay and buck. Uh. So I've got a
lot of calls, got lot of people will talking about
all the things going on. Let's do some of that.
Linda in Florida, what's going on? Linda?
Speaker 6 (19:07):
Hey, but listen, I don't hardly ever get through.
Speaker 3 (19:10):
So I'm so excited.
Speaker 6 (19:12):
You know, I listened to Rush for years, and when
he died, I didn't know what I was going to do.
And then I found y'all. So I wanted to say
that thank you. And I had three quickies because I
trust your knowledge of what really is is squatters. If
somebody breaks into my house, I can shoot him dead.
(19:33):
If I walk into my house and there's somebody broke in,
what's the difference in the law. Number two, how did
Senator Lindsay Graham's sister qualified to become a senator? I know,
interm but what are her qualifications? And what was she
doing before she got picked? And then the third one,
Oh my gosh, it's slipped mine oh, the TSA workers,
(19:55):
they don't get paid squat. You can get out of
that job and go anywhere and make what they pay
those people.
Speaker 1 (20:02):
Okay, Linda, I got Linda, I got a lot here,
I got we gotta hey. I appreciate that you had
them lined up, you got right to them. I'm taking
a little note here as I go, thank you Linda
for calling. I promise I'm gonna address your stuff, but
thank you for calling in. So we had the first
one was about kind of like castle doctrine squatter, and
then the second one was about Lindsay Graham sister. And
(20:25):
then what was the third one? She just threw in
there TSA Okay, all right, cracking the knuckles on this one. Okay,
here we go, diving in, Linda, diving in. Definitely do
not shoot or use any form of force whatsoever on
a squatter. If you were to, you would face likely
assault and or manslaughter charges. Okay, that's part one, part
(20:47):
two of this. The reason for that is for you
to make an active, let's say, castle doctrine self defense claim,
there would be there has to be an imminent threat
to you, right. This is a little similar to someone
breaks into your home. And then runs out and runs
across the street and you chase them, and you know
(21:07):
you've got your you've got your your pistol, and you
put three in their back. You're going to prison, right
because there's no longer an active threat. They have left
your property, your premises. You have chased them. If you
arrive at a premises and there is a person there
who has belongings, who perhaps has utilities, and now you
may say, well, I don't you know, I don't know this. Look,
(21:30):
if you go into your home and a squatter attacks
you and you had no idea that were there, you
would have a viable self defense claim if you go
if you go into your home and it's you know, daylight,
you knock on the door and you're like, hold on
a second, I didn't sign at least for anybody they
come to the door and say, you know, hi, my
name is my name is John Smith. I live here now,
and you know you can call the sheriff. Go ahead.
(21:51):
If you use violence or force on that person, you're
going to prison. It has to do with your justification
for force and self defense.
Speaker 4 (21:58):
Now.
Speaker 1 (21:58):
I know for a lot of you you're going to say, well,
that seems so unfair. That's crazy. Yeah, that's why squatters
are able to get away with what they do. So
you'd have to if you pulled the gun and shot
somebody who was on your property, you're gonna have to
explain what the threat was to you. And if you
don't live there and you're entering that property to let's say,
inspect it or check on it, you'd have to say
(22:18):
they attacked you or a threat to you. Because if
you just shoot them and there's like, you know, a
sleeping bag on the ground, a cook stove that's been used,
they've got some mail that they've got set up there,
you're going to prison.
Speaker 3 (22:31):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (22:32):
So that's the long and the short of that. The
other one was a standard process under South Carolina law
for a filling of senate vacancy as the governor appoints
an interim replacement. So you know, she said she will
carry on his work and honor his legacy. So this
is totally legitimate in terms of like, it's totally legal
(22:53):
to do this. I think her question, whnn's question was
more what qualification does she have? You know, this is
sort of a tradition thing. There's an election coming up,
it's not going to be for very long at all,
So it's a temporary inheritance of this seat via governor's appointment.
You know, some people like it, some people don't. So
(23:15):
I think it's a very valid question, Linda asks, and
what's he gonna what's she gonna do? Hopefully just vote
along with the Republicans and that's that. But it's a
fair question. Is she qualified to be a United States Senator? No,
except for the fact that she's appointed by the governor.
So that's a reality. Let's see here, oh Ray in Massachuset,
(23:38):
oh Man, Massachusetts, the People's Republic of I think I
know where this conversation is going to be going. You know, Ray,
I lived in Massachusetts for four years. Uh, it's the
politics are rough up. There's some beautiful parts of it,
but the politics are rough.
Speaker 7 (23:50):
What do you deal with my sympathies? Okay, I want
you to underscore this.
Speaker 8 (23:56):
No one in this country listening right now, unless they
have been true what I'm going to say, has any
clue how.
Speaker 7 (24:03):
Bad it is.
Speaker 8 (24:04):
The tenant land law rules in the state of Massachusetts
and most brue states not only unconstitutional, they're communistic. I
lost two hundred thousand dollars being a landlord in the
state of Massachusetts. I had fourteen evictions in five years.
I had one judge tell me and I quote, I
(24:24):
don't care what the law says, that tenant stayed fourteen
months without giving me a dime. I would be a
multi millionaire today if I didn't give up in two
thousand and one after those fourteen evictions.
Speaker 1 (24:42):
Man, I'm so sorry to hear that. It's and when
you go to the court, I'm just wondering, could you
really dealt with this ray the judge. I mean, there's
just there's no sense of justice when don't do like
these squads, right, I mean, they just keep delaying and delaying,
and you really get the sense the system is on
the side of the people who are unlawfully taking your
propert You have.
Speaker 8 (25:01):
No idea unless you've been through it. I'm a poor
kid from the projects. I work two jobs full time.
I'm a college graduate. The day I graduated college, if
you told me that's what I was going to experience
in this country, I would have said, you're out of
your mind.
Speaker 7 (25:18):
It can't happen. I can give you horror story after
horror story, and I can prove everywhere that comes out
of my mouth. Fifty percent of the reason I'm not
a multi millionaire is because of the state of Massachusetts
tenets communistic laws. The other fifty percent of the reason
is I ended up in divorce court in the state
(25:40):
of Massachusetts, which is just as bad as the housing court.
Speaker 1 (25:45):
Well that's that's a different segment, buddy. But my buddy, Hey, Ray,
my sympathy for you on all the challenges they're in.
But I appreciate you calling and sharing your experience. And again,
these things I talk to you guys about as people
will say, oh, why are you complaining or don't be
a Karen or something. I'm addressing problems and want redress
of this. I'm not complaining about this to complain. There's
(26:06):
a problem right now with airlines. It's real and people
need to understand that it's real, and I think it
can be fixed and it should be fixed. There's a
problem with property rights and squatters. I would also extend
it to you know, what's going on here in New
York City with the they now have this like piaa
terr at tax. Now that's purely more ideological. But I'm
just saying they're making. Housing has never been more expensive
(26:28):
than it is right now in New York where I
currently have never been more expensive. And Mom, Donnie than
New Mayor. His whole thing is he's going to make
it now. I understand it hasn't been that long. But
it's going in the wrong It's one thing to say
it's the same as it was. It's going in the
wrong direction. It's getting more expensive and the things he's
doing is going to make it more expensive. So there's
complaining and then there's addressing of problems so you can
fix it. And I want to be clear. State of Florida,
(26:50):
for example, I'm sure there are some other states. State
of Florida has gotten much better about and I mean
in the last couple of years about evicting squatters and
do you know why, because of the horror stories of
people just like Ray who called in now that was Massachusetts.
But the same thing. People just completely take advantage of
the system, you know, just run you through them, through
(27:13):
the gauntlet of the courts as long as possible, and
you're burning all of this money. They're getting free a
free staying. But if you go into bankruptcy or if
you're if the home that is being squatted on goes
into You know, if you get behind on those mortgage payments,
there's no one's coming to help you or save you.
The squatter just gets to leave, but you know, you
(27:34):
could have your home repossessed. And then and the fact
that this and this happens, right So, I know, that's
why I just thought that show was so has caught
such fire right now, at least with me, and I
think a lot. I think it looks like it's a
pretty popular show from what I can understand online. But
beyond that, I want every state legislature that's saying to
make sure that very there should be very clear rules
(27:55):
of the road here. You know, if you don't have
legal right to a to a residents or whatever, it's
got to be possible to get you out in thirty days.
They got to be able to get you in front
of whoever they got, get you in front of and
take a look. You know. I know there can be
extenuating circumstances and such, but if somebody never had a
lawful right to the premises in the first place, it
shouldn't be where they can just sit there and win.
(28:19):
We think about that, and they end up winning in
this whole thing. Here we go, Sheridan in Las Vegas
wants to talk airlines. Go ahead, Sheridan, it's.
Speaker 6 (28:31):
Misspoke to the gentleman.
Speaker 9 (28:32):
So I flew in from Las Vegas, Nevada, to Everett,
Washington and last last year to see my son, and
they told us that they couldn't land the plane because
the weather. And yet the people with the little trolleys
that pick up the luggage, you could see them down there.
You could see that one of them was a girl
(28:53):
and one of them was a boy, and it was ridiculous.
So we sat there in the sky and they said
that we're recircling, you know, and that we'd land in
a minute, and it was just ridiculous. Next thing, you know,
they came on the air about twenty minutes later and
said we're gonna fly you.
Speaker 6 (29:06):
And I said to La, my mistake.
Speaker 9 (29:10):
We're gonna fly you to Seattle, and you're gonna have
to land in Seattle. My son's car wasn't working, so
I had to borrow a car to pick me up,
and he has cancer. I was really irritated, and they
didn't compensate.
Speaker 6 (29:21):
They just blew us off and.
Speaker 3 (29:24):
It was just ridiculous.
Speaker 1 (29:25):
I got to thank thank you for calling in Sheridan.
I gotta tell you, you know, after even my thing,
they offered me. They offered me like a fifteen dollars
meal voucher and of course which I did not take.
I'm like, you guys really think, like, don't offer me
a blowney sandwich. Like I'm not again, I don't blame.
And I had this experience. American Airlines sent a representative
(29:46):
to meet me at the Jetway because I was tweeting
about this and it went kind of viral and the
whole thing, so they were monitoring and of course I
tagged American Airlines, so they were monitoring it. And they
came and they said, you know, we're just we're sorry
about your frustration. And the whole thing. The whole system
is now set up with these airlines so that they
are sent to manage your anger instead of addressing core
(30:11):
underlying problems. And that's why I get so frustrated with
people who like, it's the way, I'm not talking about weather, okay,
And anyone who's like they're weather delays this, they don't
know what they're talking about because they don't know what
the data shows the data shows that the airline travel
is getting dramatically worse over the last two years. And
(30:33):
our team has been in charge for two years. Okay,
that is reality, so this should be If it were
going in the other direction, I would say, oh, okay,
you know, the things are getting out there, they're working,
they're fixing it. It's getting worse.
Speaker 7 (30:46):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (30:46):
And for a lot of you, maybe some of you
don't fly, so you don't care, you think it's not
your problem. But those of you who do fly, I mean,
I don't know how many of you think you would
last eight hours on a hot tarmac when you when
you're not allowed to go anywhere. Maybe you get a
couple of screaming babies in there, but at some point
it becomes unusual punishment, Like at some point I think
we could all agree and they had to pass a
regulation on that. So that's that's what I would say
(31:08):
to people who are wondering why I think this matters.
And you know why this stuff changes because people talk
about it and they're frustrated, and the airlines either listen
and make arrangements to be better at this, or the
regulators step in and say you can't just make extra
dollars and cents off of people's misery. But if no
one talks about it, it does not get better. Let's see, uh,
(31:31):
Dennis in Annapolis. Actually yeah, Dennis inn Annapolis, Maryland. Will
take this and we'll go to break. Go ahead, Dennis,
all right, love your your guys shows. Thank you.
Speaker 2 (31:41):
I'm a regular listener. Yeah, I might rage at this Stanford.
I guess it's a chancellor. I thought it was a dean.
With this medical nonsense. Science denied of a man can
get pregnant. I mean, this is just simply outrageous. Maybe
you say you do you say that on a in
(32:03):
a lecture back when I was in medical school, you
have been laughed off the stage.
Speaker 4 (32:08):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (32:08):
These medical schools keep trying to push this leftist transgender
nonsense through despite the you know a lot of some
of the reforms that have come through and as well
as this, as well as some social justice nonsense. And
you know, there's only so many hours in a day
for medical students to learn medicine, and they these the
(32:30):
leftists keep trying to inject politics into medicine and it's
just aggravating it really is. Let's stick to the stick
to the science. Uh, it's it's one hundred percent impossible
for a man to get pregnant.
Speaker 1 (32:48):
Yes, it is. We'll leave it on that correct. A
man cannot get pregnant. But I think if you were
to go ask for a show of hands, and I
think there's been some video that has already sort of
shown this, or at least there were some entirely masked
graduating classes from medical school that were making the rounds
maybe a couple of years ago. I think if you
went into most medical schools in America right now and
(33:11):
you asked all of the gathered medical students in a
large auditorium, let's say, can a man get pregnant? Raise
your hand if yes, I think eighty to ninety percent
of the hands in the room would go up. In
a medical school right now, I think if you ask
the professors, it might be one hundred. That's where we are,
(33:33):
My friends, they have not backed off this at all.
They're just waiting until they're back in power to make
you a part of the delusion and of the madness,
to force you to do it even though you know
it's not true. All right, do you own a business, well,
you need to protect it with business insurance. Like any
form of insurance, you buy it because you must plan
for the worst. The truth is you hope they don't
need to rely on it, but it's comforting to know
(33:54):
it's there. The only question will your broker be accessible
if you need them? Insurance claims, coverage gaps, employee questions,

the year. Supershore is a newer company and business to

on the iHeart app Welcome back in here, guys, thanks
for being here. Clearly back tomorrow. Look for him in
the front row with his face painted the colors of
(34:59):
the U Jack. No, it would be what do you well,
you know for England. What's the name of the is
the Union Jack?
Speaker 4 (35:05):
Right?
Speaker 3 (35:05):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (35:06):
Yeah, yeah, so uh, hopefully he's rooting Team England. That's
going to start here in just a few minutes. Something
that the team brought to my attention. I didn't even
really see it until now, so I'm catching up in
real time. But apparently there could be a Trump what's
this Trump one dollar coin situation? Scott Jennings was talking
about this. Have you guys seen this? This is interesting
(35:28):
play play twenty.
Speaker 10 (35:29):
I've seen the coin, by the way, a few weeks ago.
I held one in my hand before this became public,
and I asked the Treasurer of the United States. I
thought you couldn't put a living person on money, and
he said, no, printed dollar, printed bills, but the coins
were okay, So that answered one question for me. You
know what I think's going to happen to it. It's
going to be a collector's item. No, it's going to
be a whole bunch of people or want to collect it,
(35:50):
and that's.
Speaker 2 (35:51):
What's going to happen.
Speaker 1 (35:52):
H No, it's not, She says, Oh, I would. I
would want a Trump dollar. The US men's going to
be striking one dollar coin with a portion President Trump
on it. So, Scott Bessen, when did he announce this? Guys?
This just happened right, Okay, yeah, okay, it was just
this morning. That's why I'm just hearing about it now. Uh,
you know, not not an absolute top of the fold
news story, but interesting nonetheless. Now I'm kind of jeal
(36:13):
I kind of want to what do you guys think
about a commemorative Clay and Buck gold coin. That would
be kind of fun. You know, Clay on one side,
buck on the other. You know, there you go, it
could be two sides of the same coin. There's a
lot of you know what I mean, there's a lot
of ways you can work with this. But yeah, I
definitely want the Trump coin. He's got the co he's
got the quaff, the swoop of beautiful blonde hair. I'm
(36:34):
looking at it right now. He's looking serious and uh,
and statesmen like so Trump, one dollar coins, everybody, they're
gonna be out there that chers when you can
The hour three of Clay and Buck kicks off right now.
For this hour just Buck Clay is, as you know,
on the way to the fancy soccer game called football
in many parts of the world, where my jolly English
team is squaring off against Argentina. That's where the tango
(00:20):
is from, right, Tango is Argentina, Samba is Brazil, and
tango is Argentina for the dances. Right, that sounds right whatever,
close enough. I'm not good at either of those. But yes,
there's a game that will be going on right after
the show, so you can listen to this whole hour,
and then you can if you choose to turn on
the semi finals of the World Cup. I hope England
brings home the trophy and we shall see. And I
(00:42):
will be somewhere, probably with my family here in New
York doing English soccer chants, although I'm worried those Argentinians.
They're a crafty bunch on the field, so he'll be
at that game. We have a couple things I want
to talk about this hour. First of all, I want
to open the lines. We just had the second transportation
Duffy on and he's a good man for giving us
(01:03):
his time to show up. And I have met the
secretary previously when he was a congressman, and I like him.
That said, I am entirely unsatisfied with what is going
on with the airlines right now. There are for you
know what, you can take my thoughts and opinions on
these things. There's also just the facts and the figures,
which I think is a good place to go. I
(01:24):
don't know how many of you fly frequently. I fly
much more than I would like to, so this is
something that comes up. But for example, if you ask
are airlines this is on groc cutting ground crews as
a cost cutting measure, and is that creating an increase
in tarmac delays? Tarmac delays over the last couple of
years are up over one hundred percent. Everybody. When I
(01:44):
say delays, I mean long delays, hours over three So
the delays are skyrocketing. That's happening. Now. We can say
it's COVID and that's fine. We could say it's staffing
issues from COVID and Biden being a moron, and that's fine.
We're two years into Trump, a lot of things are
being fixed. Let's fix that. So three hour plus domestic
(02:04):
delays have risen significantly, and there's also now the reality
of the staffing on the grounds. I asked that question
of ROC, it said, this is the direct response. Okay,
when you ask the question, are they saving margin? As in,
are they saving dollars by making you the passenger? Wait? Wait, wait, wait,
(02:30):
I'm not talking about weather. No one thinks you should
go fly in a thunderstorm. I get it. But have
they decided that they're going to increase their margin by
making you wait up to that three hour mark when
the fines actually kick in The response on GROC. Yes,
there are ongoing crew staffing challenges in aviation. Some of
it is tied to post pandemic recovery and cost pressure.
(02:52):
And these are creating delays, including the tarmac delays you're
talking about. So, yeah, they have cut staff or they
have insufficient staff for planes that land so that you
can get off the plane. And I'll tell you this
for people who don't like the rule. The rule went
into effect in twenty ten. The rule went into effect
(03:13):
under the Obama administration. For what it's worth, and you
say I don't like rules, buck Well, First of all,
the airline's been built out by the taxpayer twice in
the last twenty four years or so, twenty five years,
two bailouts, one during COVID, one after nine to eleven.
The airlines are also among the most heavily regulated industries
in the entire country right now. Now you can say
(03:33):
that's bad and we should have lessed regulation, and that's fine,
and I think there's certainly an argument for that. But
regulations that prevent you from being held captive on a
plane for ten hours at a time, I think that's
probably a good thing. That used to happen to people.
People would be on a hot tarmac in Phoenix and
they would have to wait for eight hours, unable to exit.
(03:54):
You're on the ground eight hours, can't go anywhere because
of costs that they don't want to have to refund
your ticket, they don't want to have to rebook you.
You know, tough for you, right, So they passed the
three hour rule. But more to the point, on time departures, cancelations,
long Ptarmact, delays, all of it is up over the
last two years, all of it and substantially up. It's
(04:18):
not the weather, and I think that some of the
leadership of the airlines has a big part in this
which should be looked at. But for those of you
who have experienced this, a lot of people need to
be on time and flying places for work and have
to deal with things. Why is it getting work. I'm
not saying, oh, but what about a thunderstorm. Yeah, of course,
no one's saying we're gonna have perfect aviation. But it's
(04:40):
gotten a lot worse in the last two years. And
that's the part of this that I find unacceptable. That's
the part of this that and the data speaks to
that on time departures down, cancelations up, ground tarmac stuff up.
If we need a lot better, and the Secretary Duffy
was talking about this, we need better air traffic control. Okay,
that needs to be a imminent priority. I mean this
is important because this can't just be done by the
(05:02):
private sector. Unfortunately, well, for better for worse, probably for worse.
The government is deeply involved in the aviation industry, so
it has to be something of a government fix. It
has to be a government option. So that's I want
to take your calls on this and hear from especially
any of you, if you work on a ground crew,
if you're a former pilot, you want to weigh in
on this stuff, or you have a horror story. You
(05:23):
know why my thing when viral. People are like, oh,
it's because you had you know how many flights I've
had canceled delayed over lest your tons. There's something different
about landing and being and landing in calm weather by
the way, and being told, yeah, you're just gonna sit
here for two hours. We don't have a gate for you.
There are gates, but not a gate for you. How
different is the technology really? How about take one of
those little rampy things that can go along the side
(05:43):
of the plane and let us get off there. Oh
my gosh, it's a crazy idea. We got elon trying
to get us to Mars, but we can't figure out
a way to be able to get two hundred people
off a plane that's already landed on the ground. It's unacceptable.
It's unacceptable. And you know they send out somebody because
my thing went viral on X and that's why, you know,
(06:04):
they send out somebody from the airline to be like,
I'm sorry about your frustration. So I'm like, I don't
want sorry. You're not sorry, you didn't do anything. I'm
not a jerk. I'm not gonna yell at you. I'm
not mad at the airline attendance. I'm not mad at
the pilot. Let's fix the system. Let's make the system better.
That's my only It's not about being mad. It's not
about being somebody you know who's gonna like yell at people.
I don't do that, of course, because also when someone
(06:25):
could video me and I look like a jerk. That's
not the only reason I don't do it, but that
would be one reason. I want this to get better.
And if anyone who says it can't get better, well
why has it gotten a whole lot worse in two years.
If it's staffing, if it's funding, if it's training, if
it's whatever, then this needs to be absolutely prioritized across
the board. And I mean also, we got members of Congress,
they got plenty of say on this. Ted Cruz on
(06:47):
the Transportation Committee for the United States Senate. Let's have
some of the airline CEOs explain why is this getting worse.
Don't tell me it's because there have been so many
more thunderstorms in the last two years. That's not true.
It is getting worse. A lot of people fly it's
a huge industry. It matters. Let's make this better. So
that's my little say on that, let's go to something
(07:09):
else that just crossed my radar, which I thought was
so interesting as well. On the on the let's fix
things side of the equation, I stumbled across I don't
usually watch standard television so much so that when I'm
in a hotel room we have I have to like
remember again how to use the guide and everything else,
(07:29):
because I just have a smart TV at home with
some streaming services. Uh, and that's it. I know were
everything is internet based. I don't have cable. So I'm
going through and I stumble upon this A and E
show called Squatters. Have you guys seen this? I love
this show. This show is amazing and I've really done
(07:53):
a lot of research into it because I have not
experienced this, but I have close friends who have where
and it's usually the same people go oh, it's but
the fact cat landlords. Those people are morons. They don't
know anything. It's usually someone with like an elderly family
member and they pass and then you know, during the
(08:17):
the sort of post period of figuring out everything, there's
someone who just knows and they move in, someone from
the neighborhood, some transient or takes it, or it's somebody
has an investment property that they're hoping is going to
be part of their nest egg for retirement. They have
one home that they want to rent out and they're
hoping that that they'll build the equity and all these
other things. And then some guy or gal. Because by
(08:40):
the way, this is one of those crimes where it
actually is you know, you're talking about shootings. It's like
ninety five percent guys squatting. You get a fair amount
of women that do this too. It's not is a
This is a both sides of the gender spectrum issue.
The laws in so many states about squatting are insane,
(09:01):
and it is so unfair. It is great and I'll
give you some examples. And this is why the show
I think is caught on so much. This is the
first A and E show I've watched, probably since the one.
What's the one where they're really cold with the crabs
and you know, they're they're they're they're the cold. They're great. Yes,
Dave Deadly is catch deadlest catch thank you? Yeah, the
one with the Alaska guys are like you know, I'm
(09:22):
gonna make eighty grand in three weeks as long as
I don't lose a hand pulling these crabs out of
the freezing cold water. Like that's That show was was cool.
But this A and E show, it has this guy
I'm not forgetting his name, but he's like this, he's
the squatter Hunter and and he has this thing where
he's realized, if you have a lawful lease, how can
(09:45):
a squatter Because the problem is the squatter has all
these protections built in to stop landlords from being able
to evict you. In California and in New York, it's
those are the two worst states for this, no surprise,
but there are a lot of states where this is
the case. It is so expensive and time consuming to
get rid of somebody who is who is not paying
(10:06):
rent and who has no lawful right to be on
your property that you end up having to pay them
off to leave. This happened to a friend of mine.
He bought a home. Wasn't his primary residence. He was
going to renovate it and then rent it out or
sell it. But he bought a home in Washington, d c. Which,
as you can imagine, is pretty much as bad as
(10:26):
New York on this stuff. The guy broke in Okay,
never had lawful acts of the place, breaking and entering.
But they know the rules. These squatters know the rules.
It was a it was a nice home and it
was under rento, but it was a nice place. Got
utilities set up in his name. It took a year
to get rid of him, a year of court and
(10:48):
legal stuff. You can imagine what those expenses were. And
in the end he had to give him a forty
thousand dollars check to leave. No recoup of rents, no
penalty for the squatter. And by this there are people
who have systematically done this. It's because think about that.
You get to live rent free and you might even
get a payoff at the end, and all you have
(11:10):
is some person like, hey, like my life savings went
into this, and like now I can't pay my bills. Haha,
tough for you. That's what ends up happening. So it is.
And I know tons, I'm sure some of you have
stories like this. I know tons, I know tons of
people who have dealt with this or know somebody who
(11:32):
has dealt with this. So this guy, what he does,
the squatter hunter is he shows up and he says, look,
I have a lease. So now he's essentially the roommate
from hell. Now he's in a position where he is
gonna Flash Shelton. Now that is a cooler name than
Buck Sexton. Flash Shelton. That's legit. By the way, can
(11:55):
we invite him on that? I would love to have
him on the show. Can we invite him on the show?
You know, I know we don't really do a lot
of like more pop culture stuff here, but I would
love to talk to this guy because especially what people
saw during COVID. There were people who owned an investment
property during COVID who went bank basically like ran out
of money, you know, went bankrupt or close to bankrupt
while somebody was squatting in their property and used all
(12:18):
these sort of COVID exceptions into as if that had
anything to do with anything. You can't leave because you might,
you can't move because you might get a cold. The
whole thing was absurd. And remember the Supreme Court had
to overturn the bid Administration on just saying yeah, you can't.
You can't evict anybody at all during COVID. I mean, though,
that thing was nuts. States are beginning to address this
(12:40):
more aggressively, and they need to and they're changing, Like
Florida just got better on this. Now you can call
the sheriff because this has gotten completely out of control
and it's just an injustice. It's an injustice enabled by statute,
it's an injustice enabled by representatives depending on what now.
(13:01):
I know, it's not every state. Some of you in
Oklahoma are probably like, you know, they got like thirty
minutes to get out of my property. I mean, it's
very different depending on where you are. But in a
lot of these states it is. It is completely wrong
what happens, and it's because of idiot politicians who want
to seem like they're tenant friendly when in reality they
have just enabled this whole class of absolute grifters. And
(13:24):
then of course these costs are pass on to people
and the legal costs and everything. It's madness. So if
you have any stories about that too, by the way,
but I can say the show with this flash Shelton guy.
It's great because he does what I would do. He's like, Okay,
I'm now your roommate. You know what, Let's blast some
death metal. Let's have the cops come and you tell
them that I, meaning flash have a lease, you don't,
(13:48):
and you want me to go because my music is
too loud. Cops aren't going to do anything about that.
Good luck. You've got a roommate problem now, and guess
what the squad. I looked this up because I was like,
this has to be entirely staged. This has to be now.
I think it's pretty real. Actually, because I looked up
the statue, I know that the squatter problem is entirely real.
And then his his reaction to it. There's no there's
(14:10):
no way the the person who is squatting could try
to take the new roommate from hell to court. But
guess what, now they're in the court process too, So
if they change the locks or they do anything now,
they're gonna be on the wrong side of the law
very quickly and Face Reel finds it. So anyways, I
love that I've watched, like I don't watch anything. I
(14:32):
watched like five episodes of this in a row and
A and E last night. I thought it was a
great show. We'll talk either airlines or squatting. How about that?
Get you guys fired up. July is National grilling month.

Speaker 2 (15:42):
Here.
Speaker 1 (15:43):
We got a lot of calls. Let's get to them
and we'll take some now. And also on the other
side of the breaks, if you're on hold, stay with us,
Bill and Sacramento. You want to talk. What's up?
Speaker 3 (15:50):
Bill Buck? You know your guys are the best I've
listened to you for since you guys started. And I'm
a big, big guy, was a big Rush Limbaugh listener.
And Mark Levin is really I met him in the
Reagan Library.
Speaker 1 (16:07):
But you know, Mark is great. You know Mark, Mark
let me, Mark let me go onto his show twice
to talk about my book. So I'm I've also been
a long time Mark Levin fan.
Speaker 4 (16:17):
But go ahead, Oh yeah, I mean, I know, I yeah, Mark,
he's you know, a legend, pops about a legend.
Speaker 3 (16:30):
And Mark thinks so highly of you and you guys,
you guys work together and like that. But no one
can pull one over on you or Mark or Clay.
Of course, I talk good about Clay too, you know.
Speaker 1 (16:48):
So, uh, but so what's top what's top of your mind?
Speaker 2 (16:51):
Bill?
Speaker 1 (16:51):
I appreciate the time words. We only got a minute here,
get to it.
Speaker 3 (16:55):
Oh yeah, you know the airline thing.
Speaker 5 (16:57):
I think my opinion, I've been following their top radio
for like eleven years all over the place, and the
far left and all that. You know, Sean Dunkey really
didn't address that delay on the tarmac on a crystal
clear day.
Speaker 3 (17:18):
I mean, it's the staff. I could see through that
and he you know.
Speaker 1 (17:26):
Yeah, Well, look, Bill, I appreciate you calling in. We're
about to get into a break here. We'll take more
calls the other side of this. By the way, a
lot of you want to talk about this, and also
the eviction thing. I'll just say this, Look at the
airlines are cutting corners and cutting hours out of your
life as a result. We should at least know that.
And I'm telling you that that's what's happening, so you
can care about it or not. But this whole thing
about hiding behind weather or whatever, that's not true. That's
(17:49):
just not true. We all know that there's weather. Weather
hasn't gotten worse in the last two years. Airline staffing
has and they're doing this as a cost cutting measure,
and they're doing this with a lot of federal help,
and you know, regulation everything else. Anyway, I can't fix
it all right the second, but I want to fix
it overall for all of us. Rapid radios. I love
these guys. Everyone loves a deal right at Rapid Radios.

That's Rapid Radios dot Com slash Bundle. Welcome back in
(18:54):
here to Clay and buck. Uh. So I've got a
lot of calls, got lot of people will talking about
all the things going on. Let's do some of that.
Linda in Florida, what's going on? Linda?
Speaker 6 (19:07):
Hey, but listen, I don't hardly ever get through.
Speaker 3 (19:10):
So I'm so excited.
Speaker 6 (19:12):
You know, I listened to Rush for years, and when
he died, I didn't know what I was going to do.
And then I found y'all. So I wanted to say
that thank you. And I had three quickies because I
trust your knowledge of what really is is squatters. If
somebody breaks into my house, I can shoot him dead.
(19:33):
If I walk into my house and there's somebody broke in,
what's the difference in the law. Number two, how did
Senator Lindsay Graham's sister qualified to become a senator? I know,
interm but what are her qualifications? And what was she
doing before she got picked? And then the third one,
Oh my gosh, it's slipped mine oh, the TSA workers,
(19:55):
they don't get paid squat. You can get out of
that job and go anywhere and make what they pay
those people.
Speaker 1 (20:02):
Okay, Linda, I got Linda, I got a lot here,
I got we gotta hey. I appreciate that you had
them lined up, you got right to them. I'm taking
a little note here as I go, thank you Linda
for calling. I promise I'm gonna address your stuff, but
thank you for calling in. So we had the first
one was about kind of like castle doctrine squatter, and
then the second one was about Lindsay Graham sister. And
(20:25):
then what was the third one? She just threw in
there TSA Okay, all right, cracking the knuckles on this one. Okay,
here we go, diving in, Linda, diving in. Definitely do
not shoot or use any form of force whatsoever on
a squatter. If you were to, you would face likely
assault and or manslaughter charges. Okay, that's part one, part
(20:47):
two of this. The reason for that is for you
to make an active, let's say, castle doctrine self defense claim,
there would be there has to be an imminent threat
to you, right. This is a little similar to someone
breaks into your home. And then runs out and runs
across the street and you chase them, and you know
(21:07):
you've got your you've got your your pistol, and you
put three in their back. You're going to prison, right
because there's no longer an active threat. They have left
your property, your premises. You have chased them. If you
arrive at a premises and there is a person there
who has belongings, who perhaps has utilities, and now you
may say, well, I don't you know, I don't know this. Look,
(21:30):
if you go into your home and a squatter attacks
you and you had no idea that were there, you
would have a viable self defense claim if you go
if you go into your home and it's you know, daylight,
you knock on the door and you're like, hold on
a second, I didn't sign at least for anybody they
come to the door and say, you know, hi, my
name is my name is John Smith. I live here now,
and you know you can call the sheriff. Go ahead.
(21:51):
If you use violence or force on that person, you're
going to prison. It has to do with your justification
for force and self defense.
Speaker 4 (21:58):
Now.
Speaker 1 (21:58):
I know for a lot of you you're going to say, well,
that seems so unfair. That's crazy. Yeah, that's why squatters
are able to get away with what they do. So
you'd have to if you pulled the gun and shot
somebody who was on your property, you're gonna have to
explain what the threat was to you. And if you
don't live there and you're entering that property to let's say,
inspect it or check on it, you'd have to say
(22:18):
they attacked you or a threat to you. Because if
you just shoot them and there's like, you know, a
sleeping bag on the ground, a cook stove that's been used,
they've got some mail that they've got set up there,
you're going to prison.
Speaker 3 (22:31):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (22:32):
So that's the long and the short of that. The
other one was a standard process under South Carolina law
for a filling of senate vacancy as the governor appoints
an interim replacement. So you know, she said she will
carry on his work and honor his legacy. So this
is totally legitimate in terms of like, it's totally legal
(22:53):
to do this. I think her question, whnn's question was
more what qualification does she have? You know, this is
sort of a tradition thing. There's an election coming up,
it's not going to be for very long at all,
So it's a temporary inheritance of this seat via governor's appointment.
You know, some people like it, some people don't. So
(23:15):
I think it's a very valid question, Linda asks, and
what's he gonna what's she gonna do? Hopefully just vote
along with the Republicans and that's that. But it's a
fair question. Is she qualified to be a United States Senator? No,
except for the fact that she's appointed by the governor.
So that's a reality. Let's see here, oh Ray in Massachuset,
(23:38):
oh Man, Massachusetts, the People's Republic of I think I
know where this conversation is going to be going. You know, Ray,
I lived in Massachusetts for four years. Uh, it's the
politics are rough up. There's some beautiful parts of it,
but the politics are rough.
Speaker 7 (23:50):
What do you deal with my sympathies? Okay, I want
you to underscore this.
Speaker 8 (23:56):
No one in this country listening right now, unless they
have been true what I'm going to say, has any
clue how.
Speaker 7 (24:03):
Bad it is.
Speaker 8 (24:04):
The tenant land law rules in the state of Massachusetts
and most brue states not only unconstitutional, they're communistic. I
lost two hundred thousand dollars being a landlord in the
state of Massachusetts. I had fourteen evictions in five years.
I had one judge tell me and I quote, I
(24:24):
don't care what the law says, that tenant stayed fourteen
months without giving me a dime. I would be a
multi millionaire today if I didn't give up in two
thousand and one after those fourteen evictions.
Speaker 1 (24:42):
Man, I'm so sorry to hear that. It's and when
you go to the court, I'm just wondering, could you
really dealt with this ray the judge. I mean, there's
just there's no sense of justice when don't do like
these squads, right, I mean, they just keep delaying and delaying,
and you really get the sense the system is on
the side of the people who are unlawfully taking your
propert You have.
Speaker 8 (25:01):
No idea unless you've been through it. I'm a poor
kid from the projects. I work two jobs full time.
I'm a college graduate. The day I graduated college, if
you told me that's what I was going to experience
in this country, I would have said, you're out of
your mind.
Speaker 7 (25:18):
It can't happen. I can give you horror story after
horror story, and I can prove everywhere that comes out
of my mouth. Fifty percent of the reason I'm not
a multi millionaire is because of the state of Massachusetts
tenets communistic laws. The other fifty percent of the reason
is I ended up in divorce court in the state
(25:40):
of Massachusetts, which is just as bad as the housing court.
Speaker 1 (25:45):
Well that's that's a different segment, buddy. But my buddy, Hey, Ray,
my sympathy for you on all the challenges they're in.
But I appreciate you calling and sharing your experience. And again,
these things I talk to you guys about as people
will say, oh, why are you complaining or don't be
a Karen or something. I'm addressing problems and want redress
of this. I'm not complaining about this to complain. There's
(26:06):
a problem right now with airlines. It's real and people
need to understand that it's real, and I think it
can be fixed and it should be fixed. There's a
problem with property rights and squatters. I would also extend
it to you know, what's going on here in New
York City with the they now have this like piaa
terr at tax. Now that's purely more ideological. But I'm
just saying they're making. Housing has never been more expensive
(26:28):
than it is right now in New York where I
currently have never been more expensive. And Mom, Donnie than
New Mayor. His whole thing is he's going to make
it now. I understand it hasn't been that long. But
it's going in the wrong It's one thing to say
it's the same as it was. It's going in the
wrong direction. It's getting more expensive and the things he's
doing is going to make it more expensive. So there's
complaining and then there's addressing of problems so you can
fix it. And I want to be clear. State of Florida,
(26:50):
for example, I'm sure there are some other states. State
of Florida has gotten much better about and I mean
in the last couple of years about evicting squatters and
do you know why, because of the horror stories of
people just like Ray who called in now that was Massachusetts.
But the same thing. People just completely take advantage of
the system, you know, just run you through them, through
(27:13):
the gauntlet of the courts as long as possible, and
you're burning all of this money. They're getting free a
free staying. But if you go into bankruptcy or if
you're if the home that is being squatted on goes
into You know, if you get behind on those mortgage payments,
there's no one's coming to help you or save you.
The squatter just gets to leave, but you know, you
(27:34):
could have your home repossessed. And then and the fact
that this and this happens, right So, I know, that's
why I just thought that show was so has caught
such fire right now, at least with me, and I
think a lot. I think it looks like it's a
pretty popular show from what I can understand online. But
beyond that, I want every state legislature that's saying to
make sure that very there should be very clear rules
(27:55):
of the road here. You know, if you don't have
legal right to a to a residents or whatever, it's
got to be possible to get you out in thirty days.
They got to be able to get you in front
of whoever they got, get you in front of and
take a look. You know. I know there can be
extenuating circumstances and such, but if somebody never had a
lawful right to the premises in the first place, it
shouldn't be where they can just sit there and win.
(28:19):
We think about that, and they end up winning in
this whole thing. Here we go, Sheridan in Las Vegas
wants to talk airlines. Go ahead, Sheridan, it's.
Speaker 6 (28:31):
Misspoke to the gentleman.
Speaker 9 (28:32):
So I flew in from Las Vegas, Nevada, to Everett,
Washington and last last year to see my son, and
they told us that they couldn't land the plane because
the weather. And yet the people with the little trolleys
that pick up the luggage, you could see them down there.
You could see that one of them was a girl
(28:53):
and one of them was a boy, and it was ridiculous.
So we sat there in the sky and they said
that we're recircling, you know, and that we'd land in
a minute, and it was just ridiculous. Next thing, you know,
they came on the air about twenty minutes later and
said we're gonna fly you.
Speaker 6 (29:06):
And I said to La, my mistake.
Speaker 9 (29:10):
We're gonna fly you to Seattle, and you're gonna have
to land in Seattle. My son's car wasn't working, so
I had to borrow a car to pick me up,
and he has cancer. I was really irritated, and they
didn't compensate.
Speaker 6 (29:21):
They just blew us off and.
Speaker 3 (29:24):
It was just ridiculous.
Speaker 1 (29:25):
I got to thank thank you for calling in Sheridan.
I gotta tell you, you know, after even my thing,
they offered me. They offered me like a fifteen dollars
meal voucher and of course which I did not take.
I'm like, you guys really think, like, don't offer me
a blowney sandwich. Like I'm not again, I don't blame.
And I had this experience. American Airlines sent a representative
(29:46):
to meet me at the Jetway because I was tweeting
about this and it went kind of viral and the
whole thing, so they were monitoring and of course I
tagged American Airlines, so they were monitoring it. And they
came and they said, you know, we're just we're sorry
about your frustration. And the whole thing. The whole system
is now set up with these airlines so that they
are sent to manage your anger instead of addressing core
(30:11):
underlying problems. And that's why I get so frustrated with
people who like, it's the way, I'm not talking about weather, okay,
And anyone who's like they're weather delays this, they don't
know what they're talking about because they don't know what
the data shows the data shows that the airline travel
is getting dramatically worse over the last two years. And
(30:33):
our team has been in charge for two years. Okay,
that is reality, so this should be If it were
going in the other direction, I would say, oh, okay,
you know, the things are getting out there, they're working,
they're fixing it. It's getting worse.
Speaker 7 (30:46):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (30:46):
And for a lot of you, maybe some of you
don't fly, so you don't care, you think it's not
your problem. But those of you who do fly, I mean,
I don't know how many of you think you would
last eight hours on a hot tarmac when you when
you're not allowed to go anywhere. Maybe you get a
couple of screaming babies in there, but at some point
it becomes unusual punishment, Like at some point I think
we could all agree and they had to pass a
regulation on that. So that's that's what I would say
(31:08):
to people who are wondering why I think this matters.
And you know why this stuff changes because people talk
about it and they're frustrated, and the airlines either listen
and make arrangements to be better at this, or the
regulators step in and say you can't just make extra
dollars and cents off of people's misery. But if no
one talks about it, it does not get better. Let's see, uh,
(31:31):
Dennis in Annapolis. Actually yeah, Dennis inn Annapolis, Maryland. Will
take this and we'll go to break. Go ahead, Dennis,
all right, love your your guys shows. Thank you.
Speaker 2 (31:41):
I'm a regular listener. Yeah, I might rage at this Stanford.
I guess it's a chancellor. I thought it was a dean.
With this medical nonsense. Science denied of a man can
get pregnant. I mean, this is just simply outrageous. Maybe
you say you do you say that on a in
(32:03):
a lecture back when I was in medical school, you
have been laughed off the stage.
Speaker 4 (32:08):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (32:08):
These medical schools keep trying to push this leftist transgender
nonsense through despite the you know a lot of some
of the reforms that have come through and as well
as this, as well as some social justice nonsense. And
you know, there's only so many hours in a day
for medical students to learn medicine, and they these the
(32:30):
leftists keep trying to inject politics into medicine and it's
just aggravating it really is. Let's stick to the stick
to the science. Uh, it's it's one hundred percent impossible
for a man to get pregnant.
Speaker 1 (32:48):
Yes, it is. We'll leave it on that correct. A
man cannot get pregnant. But I think if you were
to go ask for a show of hands, and I
think there's been some video that has already sort of
shown this, or at least there were some entirely masked
graduating classes from medical school that were making the rounds
maybe a couple of years ago. I think if you
went into most medical schools in America right now and
(33:11):
you asked all of the gathered medical students in a
large auditorium, let's say, can a man get pregnant? Raise
your hand if yes, I think eighty to ninety percent
of the hands in the room would go up. In
a medical school right now, I think if you ask
the professors, it might be one hundred. That's where we are,
(33:33):
My friends, they have not backed off this at all.
They're just waiting until they're back in power to make
you a part of the delusion and of the madness,
to force you to do it even though you know
it's not true. All right, do you own a business, well,
you need to protect it with business insurance. Like any
form of insurance, you buy it because you must plan
for the worst. The truth is you hope they don't
need to rely on it, but it's comforting to know
(33:54):
it's there. The only question will your broker be accessible
if you need them? Insurance claims, coverage gaps, employee questions,

Yeah, yeah, so uh, hopefully he's rooting Team England. That's
going to start here in just a few minutes. Something
that the team brought to my attention. I didn't even
really see it until now, so I'm catching up in
real time. But apparently there could be a Trump what's
this Trump one dollar coin situation? Scott Jennings was talking
about this. Have you guys seen this? This is interesting
(35:28):
play play twenty.

I've seen the coin, by the way, a few weeks ago.
I held one in my hand before this became public,
and I asked the Treasurer of the United States. I
thought you couldn't put a living person on money, and
he said, no, printed dollar, printed bills, but the coins
were okay, So that answered one question for me. You
know what I think's going to happen to it. It's
going to be a collector's item. No, it's going to
be a whole bunch of people or want to collect it,

Speaker 2 (35:51):
What's going to happen.
Speaker 1 (35:52):

be striking one dollar coin with a portion President Trump
on it. So, Scott Bessen, when did he announce this? Guys?
This just happened right, Okay, yeah, okay, it was just
this morning. That's why I'm just hearing about it now. Uh,
you know, not not an absolute top of the fold

could be two sides of the same coin. There's a
lot of you know what I mean, there's a lot
of ways you can work with this. But yeah, I
definitely want the Trump coin. He's got the co he's
got the quaff, the swoop of beautiful blonde hair. I'm
(36:34):
looking at it right now. He's looking serious and uh,
and statesmen like so Trump, one dollar coins, everybody, they're
gonna be out there that chers when you can
