Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome to today's edition of the Clay Travis and buck
Sexton Show podcast. Welcome in final hour of the week
Clay Travis buck Sexton Show. Appreciate all of you hanging
out with us as we continue to fight for sanity
in an insane world. Speaking of that battle, we are
joined now by Senator Ran Paul of Kentucky, who is
(00:22):
in the news right now. We're gonna ask him a
little bit about COVID as well, but in the news
right now because Senator and you can explain it to
the audience. You are simply asking for a Inspector General
to be able to review how we are spending forty
billion dollars in aid for Ukraine. That seems like an
(00:43):
imminently reasonable request. What in the world is going on
that is being right now? Refused to add that to
the bill. I think it's fiscally or responsible to spend
forty billion dollars with insufficient oversight. The Afghan War, you know,
went on for twenty years, started out slow and then
went on for twenty years. But we do have a
(01:05):
special Inspector General who's followed this. He's written entire books
on the waist and much of it has really at
least slowed down the thieves. I mean, there are thieves everywhere.
When government's handing out money, the thieves line up as well.
And if you want to slow them down, you have
to let them know there's going to be an inspector
that looks at every dollar that's spent in Afghanistan. We
would give like ninety million dollars to build a hotel,
(01:28):
a luxury hotel. Why we're doing that in the first
place is one question. But then they would build half
of a hotel or a third of the hotel, and
the contractor would run off of the money. We found
out about that because of this special Inspector General for Afghanistan,
and so we advised that, since this guy has a
great track record and he's still got money in his budget,
why don't we immediately turn it over to them. They're very,
(01:50):
very capable, they're already up and running. We don't have
to wait a year for the president to appoint somebody.
We just put it into the baibywook of an already
existing Inspector General. And you know, apparently Republicans and Democrats
are so eager to send our money to a foreign country.
They don't want to have any sufficient oversight. I just
I find it impossible to believe that this would be
(02:10):
remotely controversial given what we just saw, and you know
a better naybody, Senator. The wasted money in PPP dollars,
I mean billions of dollars that we wasted trying to
run that program. Why would we not use an existing
infrastructure program that we already have to monitor our own
government spending and apply it to Ukraine as well? What
are they trying? Why are they afraid of this? They're
(02:33):
always more eager to send the money out than they
are to be responsible with it. And look, this is
how we got a thirty trillion dollar debt. This isn't
a Republicans and Democrats don't have a good track record
on spending your money. I mean, this is a government
that spent one point five million to study of taking
a selfie of yourself while smiling. If that would make
you happy if you looked at that selfie later on
(02:55):
in the days choke full of waste, No doubt we
I obviously totally understand what you're doing here and support it,
and a lot of our listeners do as well. You're
being criticized, which is the normal routine. Now, anytime you
don't submit to everything that Ukraine wants, you are pro Russia.
(03:17):
How would you respond to the argument out there that
is being made by some of the left wing wounds
that the reason you're doing this is because you're being
a stooge for Vladimir Putin or for Russia. You know,
I took an oath of office. My oath of allegiance
is to the n Eyed States and to the US Constitution,
no other nation, no matter how sympathetic we are. I'm
(03:38):
sympathetic to Ukraine. I want to be defeated. I think
what you did as an awful aggression. But my oath
of office is to my country. You know, if we
bankrupt our country, who's left to help anyone? So I'm
for selling arms to Ukraine, for sharing things with Ukraine.
But we get fourteen billion two weeks ago. And the
thing is is, once we get to sixty billion, it
(04:00):
will be more or about the same that Russia spends
in an entire year plus. But Europe is giving them.
So you know, it's sort of the same argument the
President Trump made everybody needs to step up. But the
NATO allies need to step up, and we don't need
to be the sugar daddy and the policeman of the
world that we have to do everything we can help. Sure,
but forty billion dollars will now make it in the
(04:21):
space of too much. Will have given almost as much
as Russia spends in a year. And we said, look
at this in Afghanistan. You realize we were giving them.
I think it was two hundred and fifty million dollars
every three months in one hundred dollar bills. I'm not
making this up. Palettes of one hundred dollar bills were
airlifted in to Afghanistan every three months for twenty years.
(04:42):
So yes, the American government has a terrible history. And
the guy that oversaw the waste and told us about
the waist that happen in Afghanistan, this special inspector is
perfectly poised to do it, and they don't want him
in particular because they know he will ferret out the
waist and he will point out the abuse. We're talking to,
Senator m Paul. You're also a doctor, and a lot
(05:04):
of people, certainly we've done it on this show, are
pointing out the incongruity here a senator of sending forty
billion dollars to Ukraine while simultaneously many moms and dads
are unable to find baby formula on the shelves right now,
and in fact, Jensaki said, hey, what would you tell
I'm sure you saw this clip. She said, what would
you tell? What would you have parents do who can't
(05:25):
find baby formula? She said, I'd have them called their doctors.
What in the world is going on here that we
can spend forty billion dollars on Ukraine but we can't
get baby formula on our shelves in this country. Yeah,
it's misplaced priorities. You know, he's been about six million
on cancer research and we're spending forty billion on this.
(05:45):
So the thing is is money should never be given
in one huge lump sun without oversight. It's a bad idea.
But we don't have the money. We will borrow this
money from China to send it to Ukraine. It's not
like we have a big vat of money, a big
rainy day account. We just say, well, you know, we've
done very well this year, why don't we send some
of it to help somebody else fight for democracy. This
is equivalent to that. If you want to help someone
(06:07):
in your community and you don't have any money, you say,
you know what, I'll go down to the bank and
I'll borrow a thousand dollars and I'm gonna give it
to the Salvation Army. Well might sound noble, but isn't
noble to give money money give people money you don't have.
We're at trillion dollars short every year, and then they
started going crazy on the COVID bailouts, and we added
six trillion more in the last two years. We have
(06:27):
double digit inflation. The lockdown has still so completely screwed
up the economy. We don't have baby formula. So yes,
I think there are priorities we can be helpful in
the world, but we are not the sole repository of
all the money in the world, and we shouldn't shovel
it out so fast without oversight that it actually hurts
our country. Like I said, I'm sympathetic to Ukraine, but
(06:49):
my allegiance is to my country. I have to make
sure that the United States is doing okay before we
give it away the house or give away the farm.
Our good friend Flip Flop Fauci came out and said
the pandemic's over. And then now he's come walked that
back and says, oh no, the pandemic's not over at all,
And the Biden White House is now saying we may
have one hundred million new COVID cases in the fall
(07:11):
and the winter. Based on your experience as a doctor,
how would you assess the way that COVID is going
right now? And what should the government be doing, if anything,
as we get ready for the summer. The first thing
that everybody needs to know is if you test a
thousand people randomly anywhere in America, you'll find that ninety
seven percent or more have immunity. They either got the
(07:33):
immunity from the vaccine, or they got community from having
the disease, or both. Seventy five percent of kids under eleven.
By the fall, it's going to be one hundred percent
of all the kids under eleven. We'll have had this
for better or worse. That's with vaccine. Without vaccine, people
are still going to get it. But the good news
is almost everybody in our country has some form of immunity,
So we're going to be okay with this no matter
(07:53):
what happens. No big predict the exact case count. But
if you want to know whether or not to pay
attention to doctor Fauci, I'll tell you this. When the court,
when the US Federal Court struck down the mandate on
wearing masks on planes, doctor Fauci said, how dare the courts?
How dare the Constitution? How dare anybody who believes an
individual for him to say anything about his mandates, because,
(08:14):
by golly, he is science, And how dare the courts?
That is in arrogance. We have never seen in an
elected official, much less a bureaucrat. He believes that the
courts and their interpretation of the Constitution have nothing to
do and should have no oversight on his dictates. That
is about the most Unamerican policy and proposal and attitude
I've ever heard of. I appreciate you bringing up the
(08:37):
airplanes as well there, because the last time we talked
to you, you were having a press conference at the
Nashville Airport in favor of the removal of mask mandates.
Since that has happened, no great surprise to you or
me or many of our listeners, but I do think
it's worth mentioning we haven't seen a massive airline shortage
based on sickness. There haven't been hardly any cancelations. Overall,
(08:59):
complaints in issues between passengers and people working on those
planes have plummeted. How do we keep the mask mandate
from being returned going forward? And it's night and day
when you travel on the airport, people are alive again.
People are friendly. TSA agents are patting me on the
back and thanking me. The flight attendants are coming up
(09:19):
and wanting their fishers tacon saying thank you so much
for getting rid of these ridiculous things. So we we
have to you know, let people know the numbers. But
I can tell you this, if the Democrats want to
get wiped out in November, look at the unofficial poll
in the airport. Ninety seven percent of the people disagree
with Fauchi are discounting as advice, and their assessment of
(09:40):
the risk is they don't need the mask. Ninety seven
percent of the people. If the Democrats want to campaign
on mandates on Fauci, bringing the mandates back on the courts,
bringing it back, they are completely insane and they're going
to be wiped out in the fall because ninety seven
percent of travelers don't want to wear a mask. Did
you win the eighty to one long shot bid on
the Kentucky Derby this past weekend. Do you have any
(10:01):
success there? I only wish I saw that horse. That
horse would not get in the gate. He was jumping
all over the place. I should have been on that horse.
And then you see wins the race and he's still
fighting with the other horses. Talking about moxie. Man, that
horse had some moxie. Now, by the way, that on
the horse that was trained in Bowling Green where I live,
and it got second. It was a favorite, and I did,
(10:23):
of course win place and show, so I took away
less than I put in, But we usually consider that
sort of a pyrroic victory, no doubt. By the way,
Bowling Green's a great town in Kentucky for people who
haven't been there before. It's also Friday the thirteenth. And
if I'm not mistaken, Howoween the original Halloween was set
in Bowling Green, Kentucky, wasn't it? You know, I'm not
(10:44):
positive that there is a connection somehow to the producer,
but I'm not sure if it was actually in film there.
But I can't tell you for certain. We do make
the corvette. We are home of the Corvette. That's great.
It's a great museum there as well. Appreciate the time, Senator,
have a fantastic weekend. Shade all the fights you're fighting
for us. Thanks guys. That is Senator Ran Paul of Kentucky,
(11:05):
the man who has a crazy idea. If the United
States government is going to spend forty billion dollars, let's
just make sure that it's not being wasted. Let's have
an inspector general actually review the forty billion dollars in expenditures.
(11:26):
We know how much money. You heard him talking about
how much money we wasted an Afghanistan until we got
an inspector general. You know how much money that we
wasted with the PPP. As much as ten percent of
the eight hundred billion dollars handed out was stolen. We
know that government spends money and efficiently. How in the
(11:46):
world is it remotely controversial to one an inspector general
reviewing the money that we are spending to make certain
that that money is not going and being stolen by kleptocrats.
In Ukraine, where we already know there is a massive
issue associated with thievery, this seems like the very essence
(12:09):
of what a public servant should do. Make sure that
the money we're spending, at a bare minimum actually goes
to what we're trying to spend it on. Sure tax dollars,
My tax dollars, our tax dollars. Thanks to Rampaul, we
come back, we'll break down because they'd take your calls,
by the way to one two eight two two eight
eight two. But a lot of you out there, you're

(13:56):
show you just heard from Senator rand Paul al Varenson
was our guest in the second hour of the program,
as well as Bobby Barak, one of the writers at
Alkick dot com, the site that I sold a year
ago to Fox that continues to fight battles for sanity
in an insane world on a day to day basis
one of the people who is not necessarily fighting those
(14:18):
battles well, she is Jensaki. It is her last day,
and I wanted to play first of all, this montage
of her using her most famous phrase, telling reporters she'll
circle back with information. This is cut twenty four guys.
Let's listen to little Red lyinghood on her way out
(14:38):
of the White House. I'll circle back. If there's more
I can share with you, but I'll circle back with you.
If there's more to convac we can circle back. I
can circle back. We'll circle back, but I'll have to
circle back with you on it. But we'll circle back
with you on this today. I'm happy to circle back.
I will have to circle back on that one. We
will certainly circle back with you. More directly, I'm happy
to circle back with you. I'll have to just circle
back with you. I often know what I'm going to
circle back. I hate to disappoint conservative Twitter, but I
(15:00):
am going to circle back. I hate to disappoint you,
but I will have to circle back with you on
that as well. All of those, by the way, are unique.
That is not a repetition of the same clip over
and over again. That is Jen Psaki circling back over
and over again. Now, this is unfortunate. She had a
lot of lies and I know right now you've got
(15:22):
Nina Jankowitz and you've got people inside the Biden White
House claiming that they are voices for truth in a
world where there is otherwise lots of misinformation and whatnot. Well,
here's the truth, Jen Psaki told a lot of lies
from the White House press lectern and here is one
of the worst. And honestly, this is when you can
(15:42):
start to trace Joe Biden's collapsing approval ratings to what
happened in Afghanistan. And I know it's been coming on
a year now since the disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan and
the attack that took thirteen American lives, But this is
when the American public started to recognize that Joe Biden
was not up for the job and that his incompetence
(16:05):
was spreading. Because remember, initially he had a honeymoon period.
There were a lot of people inclined to hope that
he was going to follow through on the lies that
he told this campaign about bringing America together. But in
August of twenty twenty one, that's when things started to
collapse for Joe Biden and they haven't gotten better since.
And Jensaki said no one was stranded in Afghanistan. Do
(16:27):
you remember this. It was on August the twenty third
of twenty twenty one. Listen, First of all, I think
it's irresponsible to say Americans are stranded. They're not. We
are committed to bringing Americans who want to come home home.
We are in touch with them via phone, via text,
via email, any way that we can possibly reach Americans
to get them home if they want to return home,
(16:47):
or no American stranded the White House's official position was happening.
I'm just calling you out first thing, that we are
stranding Americans in Afghanistan. When I said, when we have
been very clear, we are not leaving Americans who want
to return home. We are going to bring them home.
And I think that's important for the American public to
hear and understand. We spent trillions of dollars in Afghanistan.
(17:10):
Of course that was all Wies. There were lots of
people stranded in Afghanistan. There still are Americans who are
in Afghanistan and have had difficulty getting out. We spent
trillions of dollars in Afghanistan, trillions of dollars, and they
now are requiring the Taliban is for girls to wear
burka all day, women to wear burka's all day. It's
(17:34):
as if we were never there. We left behind billions
of dollars in military equipment, We allowed the people the Taliban,
who helped to give cover to Osama bin Laden so
he could strike us on nine to eleven trillions of
dollars we spent. I think this ties in with what
Rand Paul was just talking about the money that we
(17:55):
spent in Afghanistan. What do we get for that billions
of our taxpayer doll and I would argue it's as
if we were never ever leave. Shameful. I want to
tell you though about pure Talk. Lots of you are
trying to save money right now, and pure Talk can
save you up to eight hundred dollars a year if
(18:18):
you switch to their service. You can switch away from
AT and T, you can switch away from verizing, from
all of these other companies that are charging you a
lot more. And right now you can get unlimited talk
tech six gigs of data just thirty bucks a month
with pure Talk. Here's how you do it. From your
cell phone dial pound two fifty say Clay and buck
and boom. You get an additional fifty percent off your
(18:39):
first month. You can be switched over in less than
ten minutes. All you have to do dial pound two
five zero, say Clay and Buck exact same coverage, exact
same network. You will be hooked up in a big way.
All you have to do is go to Clay and
Buck and when you dial pound two five zero, that's
(18:59):
pound two five zero, say Clay Book. Welcome back in
Clay Travis Buck Sexton show. Buck is in Chicago. Should
probably mention that have a couple of times during the
course of the show. We'll be back together Monday, but
he has never been in Chicago, so he's spending some
(19:20):
vacation time there. One and two, we just played some
Jensak clips for you, but this one this baby formula shortage,
and you heard Rand Paul talking about it with us
as well. This is pretty wild the degree to which
we are now probably suffering many moms and dads out
there are with the single most irreplaceable product out there.
(19:45):
Because right now, if there's a shortage of bananas, you
can decide. I know we got a lot of banana
fans out there, but if you want to go with
a fruit, you can go from banana to orange. Right,
you can go from apple to any other fruit product. Right.
If you want a beer, I'm gonna have some adult
(20:06):
beverages tonight down at the I'm down on by the
way that Florida Panhandle having an awesome time down here.
We got a lot of listeners from all over the country.
I met a bunch of them last night out to dinner.
But if you want to go with an adult beverage,
maybe you're a bud light guy, you could probably make
do with Miller Light or Coors Light. If you're a
parent and you need baby formula, there isn't a fungible alternative.
(20:32):
I've been through this. I know a lot of dads
and moms know the feeling where you suddenly realize you're
out of baby formula. It's late at night, and you
walk into that twenty four hour grocery store to go
buy the Semilac or the infamil, whatever brand you might
be dealing with, and you know that that is incredibly
(20:55):
important because you've got a crying baby back home, because
you got a baby that's hungry, because you have to
maintain and provide for that baby, And there aren't hardly
any fungible alternatives because the baby is still feeding from
the bottle. Well, Jensaki is in the White House. We
just told you it's her last day. She was asked
(21:18):
yesterday about the baby formulas shortage, and she blamed it
on people who are hoarding baby formula. That's really what
the White House response is. Now, listen to this. If
you are a parent who's looking for formula right now,
struggling to find what you need, you have even a
rough guess of how long these shortages are going to last.
(21:40):
What's your parents be bracing for here? Well, we've already
seen an increase in supply of the past couple of weeks.
What we are seeing, which is an enormous problem, is hoarding.
People hoarding because they're fearful, that is one element of it.
And people hoarding because they are trying to profit off
of fearful parents. So that is also something we're focused on.
I don't know. I've lived in America my whole life.
(22:01):
I never remember a time when hoarding baby formula would
have been remotely effective because there was plenty of it.
Joe Biden, Bear selves Biden. Of all the things that
we could be running out of right now, running out
of baby formula is absolutely absurd. We took phone calls
on this earlier this week. You may recall from the
East coast to the west coast, people were calling into
(22:22):
the program talking about the difficulty they are having finding
baby formula. It's to such an extent that grandmas and
grandpa's are getting drawn into the search process in many
different places. All right, final few minutes here, final twenty
minutes or so of the program for the week. Let's
have a little bit of fun open lines eight hundred
two eight two two eight eight two. I pointed out
(22:44):
earlier in the show that it's Friday the thirteenth, and
the most scary series of movies that I have ever
seen are the Conjuring films, but there have been other films.
I went and saw paranormal activity by myself. My wife,
and at that time, I think we had two kids
(23:04):
were out of the house. I came back home to
the house by myself. I left every light on in
the entire house, and I also propped the door so
it couldn't be opened. I guess thinking that the ghost
wouldn't just float through the door, but I was at
the time, I don't know. Thirty seven thirty eight years old,
(23:25):
fully grown man, and I had all the lights on
in the house after going to see Paranormal Activity. I
love scary movies. I love, by the way, the Scream
series in terms of pure enjoyment as a kid growing up,
I was a big nightmare on Elm Street. Fan. A
lot of you want to way in, so let's take
some of your calls here on open Line Friday, Friday
(23:46):
the thirteenth, Dave down in Miami. I'm asking you what
the scariest movie you have ever seen? If you had
to give a recommendation to people to watch a scary
movie tonight, which one would you go with? Dave? Who
you got? Totally be quick. They're here to listen to
conjurin Paranormal Activity. Exorcists aren't even scary movies. They're all good.
(24:07):
I watched the movie that messed me up for three days. People.
I don't know anything about Shadow People. Tell me what
the general plot of Shadow People is. It's about a
radio talk show host that's trying to investigate this mysterious
Shadow People that people are reporting about. That thing mess
me up. I'm gonna look at up. Didn't bother me?
(24:31):
I have to watch scary movies by myself anyway, because
my wife doesn't watch, my kids don't wat scary movies.
Thank you, but this one got you. David Miami says,
Shadow People, Ali, I'm gonna put you out. I'm already
a little bit afraid there because he says it's about
a radio show host. I don't need any terrifying radio
show host movies. I don't want to be. I'm able
to get out of bed over or colors up underneath
(24:53):
the covers over a radio show movie. Uh Tim in Raleigh,
North Carolina. By the way, thanks to everybody listening in
Raleigh playing Buck show number one in the entire market.
What is the scariest movie you have ever seen? What
should people watched him play? Thank you for what you do,
amazing show. Appreciate your movie. The perfect movie for Buck
(25:14):
right now is The Relic. It's I'm a Chicago the
Museum in Chicago, and it's about a scientist who goes
to some tribe in the middle of nowhere and it
doesn't work out well for him. The Relic. I don't
know this movie either. I'm not. I'm actually writing these
down because I'm genuinely curious. I'm always looking for a
(25:35):
new scary movie to check out, because I do really
like scary movies, but I'm not familiar with either of those.
Denise in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. Denise, are you a
UNC tar Hill or you a Duke? Blue Devil? Or
is that an insulting question to ask somebody in Chapel Hill.
I'm from Florida, so you're neither watch I won't watch
(25:56):
Night of the Living jads the Night of the Living Dead?
You won't watch. By the way, did you say you're
from Florida? So that means you don't have a chosen team?
You live in Chapel Hill. You're not on team UNC
or team Duke. No, I live here because of my
granddaughter of the Dead Night of the Living Dead. Thank
you the call, Denise. Denise might be the only person
(26:18):
in Chapel Hill who can dodge the question of Blue
Devils or tar Heels because a little bit like being
down in Alabama, and if somebody says, are you in Auburn,
an Alabama person, you immediately have an answer. Denise living
in Chapel Hill, she has no affiliation in the biggest
basketball rivalry in the country. Right now at least in States,
Bob in Rochester, New York, Bob, what you got for us?
(26:41):
I'm back in nineteen seventy nine. And the original Alien movie. Oh,
that was the Sigourney Weaver Original Alien Movie is pretty spooky.
They had thanks for the call. They had. The was
a Universal Studios where they had the Alien ride in
the amusement park and it comes down. I think it
was Universal Studios back in the day. And I took
(27:03):
my kids through and this has been like seven or
eight years ago, and they were really rattled and we
watched a little bit of Alien and it was terrifying
to them. It's one of those horror movies that holds up. George,
by the way, in Florida has another movie that I'm
not that familiar with. George, what part of Florida? Are
you in Melbourne on the East Coast? Yeah? Yeah, So
(27:24):
what's the movie that you're saying. It's Friday the thirteenth
Scariest Movie. If you had to get people's suggestion. Well,
this came out into seventies and it was a really
cheesy movie. But when I first saw it, scared the
dig inside of me. It was called Fantasm. Yeah, I
don't know fantasm either. By the way, thank you for
the call. All over the country people weighing in. You
can weigh in at Clay Travis on Twitter as well.
(27:46):
I put this poll question up. It wasn't even a
poll question. It was just hey, what do you what
do you have out there? And I knew, by the way,
some people were gonna respond this way John Rich, who
a lot of you were going to know? The country
music singer? He respond, So I just put up on
Twitter for everybody out there, and you can go vote
and get in a debate. I think what seven hundred
comments beneath this Friday the thirteenth, What's the scariest movie
(28:09):
ever made? Debate and discuss below? This is on Twitter.
I'm at Clay Travis. John Rich fabulous success as a
country music singer said, the scariest movie ever made is
the one we're living through right now. So the Biden administration,
I can certainly understand. I knew someone would think that,
and certainly I don't disagree. Of all the presidents we've
(28:32):
had in my lifetime, Joe Biden is the one I
trust the least to solve any issue at all that
might arise in this country. Final segment of the week
up next. We'll keep the phone lines open. One eight
two eight two two eight a two. It's Friday, the thirteenth.
This is the Clay and Buck Show, and I want
you guys to know inflation continues to weigh outpace wage growth.
(28:55):
A few companies are giving cost of living allowances that match,
let's be honest, eight point three percent inflation rate we're
all dealing with right now. You want to talk about
scary household budgets are getting crushed. So how do you
help to put your household budget in order? Call American Financing. Look,
I know a lot of you out there right now
are making decisions on where to buy gas based on
(29:17):
what the prices are up on the boards as you're
driving by. I know that a lot of you are
going into grocery stores and you're buying generic products maybe
instead of the name brand products because you're just trying
to save a little bit of money. Everybody out there
just about is having their finances challenged by what's going
on with the inflation rate. You know what the biggest
(29:38):
expense most of us have in our lives home, we're
going to buy that is where the vast majority of
us are going to spend the most money. Yet, how
much time you're saving money with gas, you're saving money
with grocery stores. How much time to most people give
over to saving money with the right mortgage rate? Nowhere
near as much. Well, I'm asking you to give ten
(29:59):
minutes of your time to American Financing and let them
put your financial house in order. If you own a home,
maybe you've got a lot of equity value now that
you can unlock. If you don't own a home yet,
getting the right rate is incredibly important. Again, all it
takes is one ten minute call eight hundred seven seven
seven eighty one O nine. Maybe you're gonna get home
(30:20):
tonight and you're gonna talk with your spouse and you'll say, hey,
I was listening to Clay. He keeps talking about calling
American Financing ten minutes. Did you do it? And if
you haven't done it yet, you can be the hero
of the family just in time for Friday the thirteenth.
End the scary costs that many of us are having
to pay for our mortgages that are unnecessary. Eight hundred
seven seven seven eighty one O nine. You can also

Sexton show Buck in Chicago for the long weekend. If
you are in the windy do you keep your head
on a swivel for Buck? He will be back on
(31:03):
Monday with me. But we've had a great time with
you guys so far. On the Friday edition of the program, Podcastwise,
Alex Barrenson was phenomenal in the second hour of the program,
answering a lot of questions Twitter band Alex Barrenson, Bobby Barrack,
who is a writer at OutKick, also great, and then
Senator Rand Paul at the top of this final hour,
(31:25):
dealing with the forty billion dollars in Ukraine aide that
he has a radical idea, how about we have an
inspector general to verify that we don't waste all of it?
Seems very very reasonable. We're having some fun taking a
lot of calls about what exactly is your favorite horror
movie since we are right now obviously on Friday the thirteenth,
(31:46):
and a lot of you have weighed in want to
give the show. The show crew all put their picks
in Ali Silence of the Lambs, very very scary movie
back in the day. Anthony Hopkins Man, how good was
he in that? And the Clarisse character who was played
by Oh yeah, Jodie Foster. She was creating that too,
(32:09):
Greg twenty eight days later, Mike, these are all the
people who work on the show. Dracula's daughter Dean Evil
Dead Mojo went with young Frankenstein. Lisa went with Jaws.
And I have to say, I think Jaws is the
single most influential movie that has ever been made in
(32:29):
American history. And some of you out there like you're
crazy cling to think about it. I'm down at the
beach right now. I'm going to go in the water
when I get done with the show. And when I
go in the water, I will think, at least for
a moment, I hope I don't get eaten by a shark.
Every single person and a lot of this was such
a back in the day when this movie was made.
You've probably gotten scared of sharks swimming in a lake.
(32:52):
You've probably gotten scared of sharks swimming in a swimming
pool at night. That's how impactful this movie is. I'm
not sure that any movie ever made, has ever impacted
the American cultural conscience the same way that Jaws has.
Andrew went with Jacob's Ladder. That was a spooky movie.
And then Dub, Look, if I had to pick someone
(33:15):
to win a fight to the death that works on
the show, Buck well, Buck, you know he was in
the CIA. I don't even know. Buck might have all
sorts of crazy, you know, choke you out, you know,
or you know, make you pass out by bending your
thumb the wrong way. But Dub is a big dude.
Dub said, I hate scary movies. He's the biggest guy
(33:37):
on the show six probably six four two forty, and
he's afraid to watch scary movies. Okay, so we got
a couple more people who want to weigh in. Before
I do that, just want to say we're coming up
on the one year anniversary of Clay and Buck and
we are loving being able to spend three hours with
you guys every single day all over the country. Thank
(33:59):
you for let us to do this job. I really
do think, and I know I speak for Buck as well,
that we have the best jobs in the entire country.
I'm excited to get out of bed come talk with
you guys every single day. Thank you for making this
such a fun experience. As we come up on the
one year anniversary of this show. All right, Dan in Buffalo, Wyoming,
(34:22):
which is a heck of a name for a town.
What movie are you rolling with? I'm rolling with a
TV movie made in nineteen seventy two that you can
still watch on Netflix. It's called Gargoyles, and it was
absolutely terrifying. I was nineteen years old when it came
on TV. I was at home alone one night watching
(34:42):
the television and it struck. It struck a nerd with me,
and I haven't forgotten about it until over fifty years
or fifty years it's been. Yeah, I appreciate that, Dan,
I need to get out to Wyoming. By the way,
I've never spent any time in Wyoming. I love the
Yellowstone television show, and spoiler alert, they dump all the
dead bodies allegedly from Montana in Wyoming in a big
(35:06):
crevice there by the way. Yellowstone's a really fun show
if you need something to watch that is not really scary.
Adam in Florida. What part of Florida are you in? Oh, Florida?
Where in Florida? Laura go oh okay, yes, what would
you roll with as the scariest movies here on Friday
the thirteenth? You ever hear of Burnt Offerings? No, you
(35:30):
guys are giving me a lot of scary movies that
I'm not familiar with. I do know the omen which
I think is another one that you liked. That's right,
see Burnt Offerings. That's with Oliver Read and Karen Black
yea and Betty Davis has a little part in it.
I appreciate the call. I'll have to check. I have
been jotting down a bunch of these scary movies to
check out, and let's go ahead and close out the week.
(35:52):
Jim in Nantucket, Mass Has it gotten warm up in Nantucket? Yet?
Have all the people from out of town started to
roll in? Yet? This starting to roll in? But my
movie was Play Misty for me. Jessica Waters was a
knife wielding psychopath stock in Clint Eastwood. Interesting. We watched it.
(36:12):
We watched as a little movie theater. We gocha during
the week, about ten of us and would all sit separately.
By the end of the movie, we're all in the
same role. And then I walk home. I walk home
on the dark Street to my house. I can't go
to sleep, so I put TV on. Jessica Waters. This
is a guest on Johnny Cots and Show No showing
the worst clips of the movie. Thank you for the call.
(36:36):
Good luck with the influx of out of towners. I
appreciate all of you. Encourage you to have fantastic weekends.
I am Play Travis and this has been the Clay
and Buck Show. Go subscribe to the podcast. Make sure
you don't miss a single moment. We have had so
much fun. We got a one year party coming up
in a little bit. I'm gonna make the trip up
(36:56):
to New York City and hopefully they'll let me into
some of the businesses there. Buck will be back on Monday.
Thanks for hanging with us. Have fantastic weekend. Play Travis
and Buck Sexton on the front lines of truth.
Welcome to today's edition of the Clay Travis and buck
Sexton Show podcast. Welcome in final hour of the week
Clay Travis buck Sexton Show. Appreciate all of you hanging
out with us as we continue to fight for sanity
in an insane world. Speaking of that battle, we are
joined now by Senator Ran Paul of Kentucky, who is
(00:22):
in the news right now. We're gonna ask him a
little bit about COVID as well, but in the news
right now because Senator and you can explain it to
the audience. You are simply asking for a Inspector General
to be able to review how we are spending forty
billion dollars in aid for Ukraine. That seems like an
(00:43):
imminently reasonable request. What in the world is going on
that is being right now? Refused to add that to
the bill. I think it's fiscally or responsible to spend
forty billion dollars with insufficient oversight. The Afghan War, you know,
went on for twenty years, started out slow and then
went on for twenty years. But we do have a
(01:05):
special Inspector General who's followed this. He's written entire books
on the waist and much of it has really at
least slowed down the thieves. I mean, there are thieves everywhere.
When government's handing out money, the thieves line up as well.
And if you want to slow them down, you have
to let them know there's going to be an inspector
that looks at every dollar that's spent in Afghanistan. We
would give like ninety million dollars to build a hotel,
(01:28):
a luxury hotel. Why we're doing that in the first
place is one question. But then they would build half
of a hotel or a third of the hotel, and
the contractor would run off of the money. We found
out about that because of this special Inspector General for Afghanistan,
and so we advised that, since this guy has a
great track record and he's still got money in his budget,
why don't we immediately turn it over to them. They're very,
(01:50):
very capable, they're already up and running. We don't have
to wait a year for the president to appoint somebody.
We just put it into the baibywook of an already
existing Inspector General. And you know, apparently Republicans and Democrats
are so eager to send our money to a foreign country.
They don't want to have any sufficient oversight. I just
I find it impossible to believe that this would be
(02:10):
remotely controversial given what we just saw, and you know
a better naybody, Senator. The wasted money in PPP dollars,
I mean billions of dollars that we wasted trying to
run that program. Why would we not use an existing
infrastructure program that we already have to monitor our own
government spending and apply it to Ukraine as well? What
are they trying? Why are they afraid of this? They're
(02:33):
always more eager to send the money out than they
are to be responsible with it. And look, this is
how we got a thirty trillion dollar debt. This isn't
a Republicans and Democrats don't have a good track record
on spending your money. I mean, this is a government
that spent one point five million to study of taking
a selfie of yourself while smiling. If that would make
you happy if you looked at that selfie later on
(02:55):
in the days choke full of waste, No doubt we
I obviously totally understand what you're doing here and support it,
and a lot of our listeners do as well. You're
being criticized, which is the normal routine. Now, anytime you
don't submit to everything that Ukraine wants, you are pro Russia.
(03:17):
How would you respond to the argument out there that
is being made by some of the left wing wounds
that the reason you're doing this is because you're being
a stooge for Vladimir Putin or for Russia. You know,
I took an oath of office. My oath of allegiance
is to the n Eyed States and to the US Constitution,
no other nation, no matter how sympathetic we are. I'm
(03:38):
sympathetic to Ukraine. I want to be defeated. I think
what you did as an awful aggression. But my oath
of office is to my country. You know, if we
bankrupt our country, who's left to help anyone? So I'm
for selling arms to Ukraine, for sharing things with Ukraine.
But we get fourteen billion two weeks ago. And the
thing is is, once we get to sixty billion, it
(04:00):
will be more or about the same that Russia spends
in an entire year plus. But Europe is giving them.
So you know, it's sort of the same argument the
President Trump made everybody needs to step up. But the
NATO allies need to step up, and we don't need
to be the sugar daddy and the policeman of the
world that we have to do everything we can help. Sure,
but forty billion dollars will now make it in the
(04:21):
space of too much. Will have given almost as much
as Russia spends in a year. And we said, look
at this in Afghanistan. You realize we were giving them.
I think it was two hundred and fifty million dollars
every three months in one hundred dollar bills. I'm not
making this up. Palettes of one hundred dollar bills were
airlifted in to Afghanistan every three months for twenty years.
(04:42):
So yes, the American government has a terrible history. And
the guy that oversaw the waste and told us about
the waist that happen in Afghanistan, this special inspector is
perfectly poised to do it, and they don't want him
in particular because they know he will ferret out the
waist and he will point out the abuse. We're talking to,
Senator m Paul. You're also a doctor, and a lot
(05:04):
of people, certainly we've done it on this show, are
pointing out the incongruity here a senator of sending forty
billion dollars to Ukraine while simultaneously many moms and dads
are unable to find baby formula on the shelves right now,
and in fact, Jensaki said, hey, what would you tell
I'm sure you saw this clip. She said, what would
you tell? What would you have parents do who can't
(05:25):
find baby formula? She said, I'd have them called their doctors.
What in the world is going on here that we
can spend forty billion dollars on Ukraine but we can't
get baby formula on our shelves in this country. Yeah,
it's misplaced priorities. You know, he's been about six million
on cancer research and we're spending forty billion on this.
(05:45):
So the thing is is money should never be given
in one huge lump sun without oversight. It's a bad idea.
But we don't have the money. We will borrow this
money from China to send it to Ukraine. It's not
like we have a big vat of money, a big
rainy day account. We just say, well, you know, we've
done very well this year, why don't we send some
of it to help somebody else fight for democracy. This
is equivalent to that. If you want to help someone
(06:07):
in your community and you don't have any money, you say,
you know what, I'll go down to the bank and
I'll borrow a thousand dollars and I'm gonna give it
to the Salvation Army. Well might sound noble, but isn't
noble to give money money give people money you don't have.
We're at trillion dollars short every year, and then they
started going crazy on the COVID bailouts, and we added
six trillion more in the last two years. We have
(06:27):
double digit inflation. The lockdown has still so completely screwed
up the economy. We don't have baby formula. So yes,
I think there are priorities we can be helpful in
the world, but we are not the sole repository of
all the money in the world, and we shouldn't shovel
it out so fast without oversight that it actually hurts
our country. Like I said, I'm sympathetic to Ukraine, but
(06:49):
my allegiance is to my country. I have to make
sure that the United States is doing okay before we
give it away the house or give away the farm.
Our good friend Flip Flop Fauci came out and said
the pandemic's over. And then now he's come walked that
back and says, oh no, the pandemic's not over at all,
And the Biden White House is now saying we may
have one hundred million new COVID cases in the fall
(07:11):
and the winter. Based on your experience as a doctor,
how would you assess the way that COVID is going
right now? And what should the government be doing, if anything,
as we get ready for the summer. The first thing
that everybody needs to know is if you test a
thousand people randomly anywhere in America, you'll find that ninety
seven percent or more have immunity. They either got the
(07:33):
immunity from the vaccine, or they got community from having
the disease, or both. Seventy five percent of kids under eleven.
By the fall, it's going to be one hundred percent
of all the kids under eleven. We'll have had this
for better or worse. That's with vaccine. Without vaccine, people
are still going to get it. But the good news
is almost everybody in our country has some form of immunity,
So we're going to be okay with this no matter
(07:53):
what happens. No big predict the exact case count. But
if you want to know whether or not to pay
attention to doctor Fauci, I'll tell you this. When the court,
when the US Federal Court struck down the mandate on
wearing masks on planes, doctor Fauci said, how dare the courts?
How dare the Constitution? How dare anybody who believes an
individual for him to say anything about his mandates, because,
(08:14):
by golly, he is science, And how dare the courts?
That is in arrogance. We have never seen in an
elected official, much less a bureaucrat. He believes that the
courts and their interpretation of the Constitution have nothing to
do and should have no oversight on his dictates. That
is about the most Unamerican policy and proposal and attitude
I've ever heard of. I appreciate you bringing up the
(08:37):
airplanes as well there, because the last time we talked
to you, you were having a press conference at the
Nashville Airport in favor of the removal of mask mandates.
Since that has happened, no great surprise to you or
me or many of our listeners, but I do think
it's worth mentioning we haven't seen a massive airline shortage
based on sickness. There haven't been hardly any cancelations. Overall,
(08:59):
complaints in issues between passengers and people working on those
planes have plummeted. How do we keep the mask mandate
from being returned going forward? And it's night and day
when you travel on the airport, people are alive again.
People are friendly. TSA agents are patting me on the
back and thanking me. The flight attendants are coming up
(09:19):
and wanting their fishers tacon saying thank you so much
for getting rid of these ridiculous things. So we we
have to you know, let people know the numbers. But
I can tell you this, if the Democrats want to
get wiped out in November, look at the unofficial poll
in the airport. Ninety seven percent of the people disagree
with Fauchi are discounting as advice, and their assessment of
(09:40):
the risk is they don't need the mask. Ninety seven
percent of the people. If the Democrats want to campaign
on mandates on Fauci, bringing the mandates back on the courts,
bringing it back, they are completely insane and they're going
to be wiped out in the fall because ninety seven
percent of travelers don't want to wear a mask. Did
you win the eighty to one long shot bid on
the Kentucky Derby this past weekend. Do you have any
(10:01):
success there? I only wish I saw that horse. That
horse would not get in the gate. He was jumping
all over the place. I should have been on that horse.
And then you see wins the race and he's still
fighting with the other horses. Talking about moxie. Man, that
horse had some moxie. Now, by the way, that on
the horse that was trained in Bowling Green where I live,
and it got second. It was a favorite, and I did,
(10:23):
of course win place and show, so I took away
less than I put in, But we usually consider that
sort of a pyrroic victory, no doubt. By the way,
Bowling Green's a great town in Kentucky for people who
haven't been there before. It's also Friday the thirteenth. And
if I'm not mistaken, Howoween the original Halloween was set
in Bowling Green, Kentucky, wasn't it? You know, I'm not
(10:44):
positive that there is a connection somehow to the producer,
but I'm not sure if it was actually in film there.
But I can't tell you for certain. We do make
the corvette. We are home of the Corvette. That's great.
It's a great museum there as well. Appreciate the time, Senator,
have a fantastic weekend. Shade all the fights you're fighting
for us. Thanks guys. That is Senator Ran Paul of Kentucky,
(11:05):
the man who has a crazy idea. If the United
States government is going to spend forty billion dollars, let's
just make sure that it's not being wasted. Let's have
an inspector general actually review the forty billion dollars in expenditures.
(11:26):
We know how much money. You heard him talking about
how much money we wasted an Afghanistan until we got
an inspector general. You know how much money that we
wasted with the PPP. As much as ten percent of
the eight hundred billion dollars handed out was stolen. We
know that government spends money and efficiently. How in the
(11:46):
world is it remotely controversial to one an inspector general
reviewing the money that we are spending to make certain
that that money is not going and being stolen by kleptocrats.
In Ukraine, where we already know there is a massive
issue associated with thievery, this seems like the very essence
(12:09):
of what a public servant should do. Make sure that
the money we're spending, at a bare minimum actually goes
to what we're trying to spend it on. Sure tax dollars,
My tax dollars, our tax dollars. Thanks to Rampaul, we
come back, we'll break down because they'd take your calls,
by the way to one two eight two two eight
eight two. But a lot of you out there, you're

(13:56):
show you just heard from Senator rand Paul al Varenson
was our guest in the second hour of the program,
as well as Bobby Barak, one of the writers at
Alkick dot com, the site that I sold a year
ago to Fox that continues to fight battles for sanity
in an insane world on a day to day basis
one of the people who is not necessarily fighting those
(14:18):
battles well, she is Jensaki. It is her last day,
and I wanted to play first of all, this montage
of her using her most famous phrase, telling reporters she'll
circle back with information. This is cut twenty four guys.
Let's listen to little Red lyinghood on her way out
(14:38):
of the White House. I'll circle back. If there's more
I can share with you, but I'll circle back with you.
If there's more to convac we can circle back. I
can circle back. We'll circle back, but I'll have to
circle back with you on it. But we'll circle back
with you on this today. I'm happy to circle back.
I will have to circle back on that one. We
will certainly circle back with you. More directly, I'm happy
to circle back with you. I'll have to just circle
back with you. I often know what I'm going to
circle back. I hate to disappoint conservative Twitter, but I
(15:00):
am going to circle back. I hate to disappoint you,
but I will have to circle back with you on
that as well. All of those, by the way, are unique.
That is not a repetition of the same clip over
and over again. That is Jen Psaki circling back over
and over again. Now, this is unfortunate. She had a
lot of lies and I know right now you've got
(15:22):
Nina Jankowitz and you've got people inside the Biden White
House claiming that they are voices for truth in a
world where there is otherwise lots of misinformation and whatnot. Well,
here's the truth, Jen Psaki told a lot of lies
from the White House press lectern and here is one
of the worst. And honestly, this is when you can
(15:42):
start to trace Joe Biden's collapsing approval ratings to what
happened in Afghanistan. And I know it's been coming on
a year now since the disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan and
the attack that took thirteen American lives, But this is
when the American public started to recognize that Joe Biden
was not up for the job and that his incompetence
(16:05):
was spreading. Because remember, initially he had a honeymoon period.
There were a lot of people inclined to hope that
he was going to follow through on the lies that
he told this campaign about bringing America together. But in
August of twenty twenty one, that's when things started to
collapse for Joe Biden and they haven't gotten better since.
And Jensaki said no one was stranded in Afghanistan. Do
(16:27):
you remember this. It was on August the twenty third
of twenty twenty one. Listen, First of all, I think
it's irresponsible to say Americans are stranded. They're not. We
are committed to bringing Americans who want to come home home.
We are in touch with them via phone, via text,
via email, any way that we can possibly reach Americans
to get them home if they want to return home,
(16:47):
or no American stranded the White House's official position was happening.
I'm just calling you out first thing, that we are
stranding Americans in Afghanistan. When I said, when we have
been very clear, we are not leaving Americans who want
to return home. We are going to bring them home.
And I think that's important for the American public to
hear and understand. We spent trillions of dollars in Afghanistan.
(17:10):
Of course that was all Wies. There were lots of
people stranded in Afghanistan. There still are Americans who are
in Afghanistan and have had difficulty getting out. We spent
trillions of dollars in Afghanistan, trillions of dollars, and they
now are requiring the Taliban is for girls to wear
burka all day, women to wear burka's all day. It's
(17:34):
as if we were never there. We left behind billions
of dollars in military equipment, We allowed the people the Taliban,
who helped to give cover to Osama bin Laden so
he could strike us on nine to eleven trillions of
dollars we spent. I think this ties in with what
Rand Paul was just talking about the money that we
(17:55):
spent in Afghanistan. What do we get for that billions
of our taxpayer doll and I would argue it's as
if we were never ever leave. Shameful. I want to
tell you though about pure Talk. Lots of you are
trying to save money right now, and pure Talk can
save you up to eight hundred dollars a year if
(18:18):
you switch to their service. You can switch away from
AT and T, you can switch away from verizing, from
all of these other companies that are charging you a
lot more. And right now you can get unlimited talk
tech six gigs of data just thirty bucks a month
with pure Talk. Here's how you do it. From your
cell phone dial pound two fifty say Clay and buck
and boom. You get an additional fifty percent off your
(18:39):
first month. You can be switched over in less than
ten minutes. All you have to do dial pound two
five zero, say Clay and Buck exact same coverage, exact
same network. You will be hooked up in a big way.
All you have to do is go to Clay and
Buck and when you dial pound two five zero, that's
(18:59):
pound two five zero, say Clay Book. Welcome back in
Clay Travis Buck Sexton show. Buck is in Chicago. Should
probably mention that have a couple of times during the
course of the show. We'll be back together Monday, but
he has never been in Chicago, so he's spending some
(19:20):
vacation time there. One and two, we just played some
Jensak clips for you, but this one this baby formula shortage,
and you heard Rand Paul talking about it with us
as well. This is pretty wild the degree to which
we are now probably suffering many moms and dads out
there are with the single most irreplaceable product out there.
(19:45):
Because right now, if there's a shortage of bananas, you
can decide. I know we got a lot of banana
fans out there, but if you want to go with
a fruit, you can go from banana to orange. Right,
you can go from apple to any other fruit product. Right.
If you want a beer, I'm gonna have some adult
(20:06):
beverages tonight down at the I'm down on by the
way that Florida Panhandle having an awesome time down here.
We got a lot of listeners from all over the country.
I met a bunch of them last night out to dinner.
But if you want to go with an adult beverage,
maybe you're a bud light guy, you could probably make
do with Miller Light or Coors Light. If you're a
parent and you need baby formula, there isn't a fungible alternative.
(20:32):
I've been through this. I know a lot of dads
and moms know the feeling where you suddenly realize you're
out of baby formula. It's late at night, and you
walk into that twenty four hour grocery store to go
buy the Semilac or the infamil, whatever brand you might
be dealing with, and you know that that is incredibly
(20:55):
important because you've got a crying baby back home, because
you got a baby that's hungry, because you have to
maintain and provide for that baby, And there aren't hardly
any fungible alternatives because the baby is still feeding from
the bottle. Well, Jensaki is in the White House. We
just told you it's her last day. She was asked
(21:18):
yesterday about the baby formulas shortage, and she blamed it
on people who are hoarding baby formula. That's really what
the White House response is. Now, listen to this. If
you are a parent who's looking for formula right now,
struggling to find what you need, you have even a
rough guess of how long these shortages are going to last.
(21:40):
What's your parents be bracing for here? Well, we've already
seen an increase in supply of the past couple of weeks.
What we are seeing, which is an enormous problem, is hoarding.
People hoarding because they're fearful, that is one element of it.
And people hoarding because they are trying to profit off
of fearful parents. So that is also something we're focused on.
I don't know. I've lived in America my whole life.
(22:01):
I never remember a time when hoarding baby formula would
have been remotely effective because there was plenty of it.
Joe Biden, Bear selves Biden. Of all the things that
we could be running out of right now, running out
of baby formula is absolutely absurd. We took phone calls
on this earlier this week. You may recall from the
East coast to the west coast, people were calling into
(22:22):
the program talking about the difficulty they are having finding
baby formula. It's to such an extent that grandmas and
grandpa's are getting drawn into the search process in many
different places. All right, final few minutes here, final twenty
minutes or so of the program for the week. Let's
have a little bit of fun open lines eight hundred
two eight two two eight eight two. I pointed out
(22:44):
earlier in the show that it's Friday the thirteenth, and
the most scary series of movies that I have ever
seen are the Conjuring films, but there have been other films.
I went and saw paranormal activity by myself. My wife,
and at that time, I think we had two kids
(23:04):
were out of the house. I came back home to
the house by myself. I left every light on in
the entire house, and I also propped the door so
it couldn't be opened. I guess thinking that the ghost
wouldn't just float through the door, but I was at
the time, I don't know. Thirty seven thirty eight years old,
(23:25):
fully grown man, and I had all the lights on
in the house after going to see Paranormal Activity. I
love scary movies. I love, by the way, the Scream
series in terms of pure enjoyment as a kid growing up,
I was a big nightmare on Elm Street. Fan. A
lot of you want to way in, so let's take
some of your calls here on open Line Friday, Friday
(23:46):
the thirteenth, Dave down in Miami. I'm asking you what
the scariest movie you have ever seen? If you had
to give a recommendation to people to watch a scary
movie tonight, which one would you go with? Dave? Who
you got? Totally be quick. They're here to listen to
conjurin Paranormal Activity. Exorcists aren't even scary movies. They're all good.
(24:07):
I watched the movie that messed me up for three days. People.
I don't know anything about Shadow People. Tell me what
the general plot of Shadow People is. It's about a
radio talk show host that's trying to investigate this mysterious
Shadow People that people are reporting about. That thing mess
me up. I'm gonna look at up. Didn't bother me?
(24:31):
I have to watch scary movies by myself anyway, because
my wife doesn't watch, my kids don't wat scary movies.
Thank you, but this one got you. David Miami says,
Shadow People, Ali, I'm gonna put you out. I'm already
a little bit afraid there because he says it's about
a radio show host. I don't need any terrifying radio
show host movies. I don't want to be. I'm able
to get out of bed over or colors up underneath
(24:53):
the covers over a radio show movie. Uh Tim in Raleigh,
North Carolina. By the way, thanks to everybody listening in
Raleigh playing Buck show number one in the entire market.
What is the scariest movie you have ever seen? What
should people watched him play? Thank you for what you do,
amazing show. Appreciate your movie. The perfect movie for Buck
(25:14):
right now is The Relic. It's I'm a Chicago the
Museum in Chicago, and it's about a scientist who goes
to some tribe in the middle of nowhere and it
doesn't work out well for him. The Relic. I don't
know this movie either. I'm not. I'm actually writing these
down because I'm genuinely curious. I'm always looking for a
(25:35):
new scary movie to check out, because I do really
like scary movies, but I'm not familiar with either of those.
Denise in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. Denise, are you a
UNC tar Hill or you a Duke? Blue Devil? Or
is that an insulting question to ask somebody in Chapel Hill.
I'm from Florida, so you're neither watch I won't watch
(25:56):
Night of the Living jads the Night of the Living Dead?
You won't watch. By the way, did you say you're
from Florida? So that means you don't have a chosen team?
You live in Chapel Hill. You're not on team UNC
or team Duke. No, I live here because of my
granddaughter of the Dead Night of the Living Dead. Thank
you the call, Denise. Denise might be the only person
(26:18):
in Chapel Hill who can dodge the question of Blue
Devils or tar Heels because a little bit like being
down in Alabama, and if somebody says, are you in Auburn,
an Alabama person, you immediately have an answer. Denise living
in Chapel Hill, she has no affiliation in the biggest
basketball rivalry in the country. Right now at least in States,
Bob in Rochester, New York, Bob, what you got for us?
(26:41):
I'm back in nineteen seventy nine. And the original Alien movie. Oh,
that was the Sigourney Weaver Original Alien Movie is pretty spooky.
They had thanks for the call. They had. The was
a Universal Studios where they had the Alien ride in
the amusement park and it comes down. I think it
was Universal Studios back in the day. And I took
(27:03):
my kids through and this has been like seven or
eight years ago, and they were really rattled and we
watched a little bit of Alien and it was terrifying
to them. It's one of those horror movies that holds up. George,
by the way, in Florida has another movie that I'm
not that familiar with. George, what part of Florida? Are
you in Melbourne on the East Coast? Yeah? Yeah, So
(27:24):
what's the movie that you're saying. It's Friday the thirteenth
Scariest Movie. If you had to get people's suggestion. Well,
this came out into seventies and it was a really
cheesy movie. But when I first saw it, scared the
dig inside of me. It was called Fantasm. Yeah, I
don't know fantasm either. By the way, thank you for
the call. All over the country people weighing in. You
can weigh in at Clay Travis on Twitter as well.
(27:46):
I put this poll question up. It wasn't even a
poll question. It was just hey, what do you what
do you have out there? And I knew, by the way,
some people were gonna respond this way John Rich, who
a lot of you were going to know? The country
music singer? He respond, So I just put up on
Twitter for everybody out there, and you can go vote
and get in a debate. I think what seven hundred
comments beneath this Friday the thirteenth, What's the scariest movie
(28:09):
ever made? Debate and discuss below? This is on Twitter.
I'm at Clay Travis. John Rich fabulous success as a
country music singer said, the scariest movie ever made is
the one we're living through right now. So the Biden administration,
I can certainly understand. I knew someone would think that,
and certainly I don't disagree. Of all the presidents we've
(28:32):
had in my lifetime, Joe Biden is the one I
trust the least to solve any issue at all that
might arise in this country. Final segment of the week
up next. We'll keep the phone lines open. One eight
two eight two two eight a two. It's Friday, the thirteenth.
This is the Clay and Buck Show, and I want
you guys to know inflation continues to weigh outpace wage growth.
(28:55):
A few companies are giving cost of living allowances that match,
let's be honest, eight point three percent inflation rate we're
all dealing with right now. You want to talk about
scary household budgets are getting crushed. So how do you
help to put your household budget in order? Call American Financing. Look,
I know a lot of you out there right now
are making decisions on where to buy gas based on
(29:17):
what the prices are up on the boards as you're
driving by. I know that a lot of you are
going into grocery stores and you're buying generic products maybe
instead of the name brand products because you're just trying
to save a little bit of money. Everybody out there
just about is having their finances challenged by what's going
on with the inflation rate. You know what the biggest
(29:38):
expense most of us have in our lives home, we're
going to buy that is where the vast majority of
us are going to spend the most money. Yet, how
much time you're saving money with gas, you're saving money
with grocery stores. How much time to most people give
over to saving money with the right mortgage rate? Nowhere
near as much. Well, I'm asking you to give ten
(29:59):
minutes of your time to American Financing and let them
put your financial house in order. If you own a home,
maybe you've got a lot of equity value now that
you can unlock. If you don't own a home yet,
getting the right rate is incredibly important. Again, all it
takes is one ten minute call eight hundred seven seven
seven eighty one O nine. Maybe you're gonna get home
(30:20):
tonight and you're gonna talk with your spouse and you'll say, hey,
I was listening to Clay. He keeps talking about calling
American Financing ten minutes. Did you do it? And if
you haven't done it yet, you can be the hero
of the family just in time for Friday the thirteenth.
End the scary costs that many of us are having
to pay for our mortgages that are unnecessary. Eight hundred
seven seven seven eighty one O nine. You can also
(30:41):
visit American Financing dot net MLS one eight, two, three, three,
four mls Consumer Access. Welcome back in Glay, Travis buck
Sexton show Buck in Chicago for the long weekend. If
you are in the windy do you keep your head
on a swivel for Buck? He will be back on
(31:03):
Monday with me. But we've had a great time with
you guys so far. On the Friday edition of the program, Podcastwise,
Alex Barrenson was phenomenal in the second hour of the program,
answering a lot of questions Twitter band Alex Barrenson, Bobby Barrack,
who is a writer at OutKick, also great, and then
Senator Rand Paul at the top of this final hour,
(31:25):
dealing with the forty billion dollars in Ukraine aide that
he has a radical idea, how about we have an
inspector general to verify that we don't waste all of it?
Seems very very reasonable. We're having some fun taking a
lot of calls about what exactly is your favorite horror
movie since we are right now obviously on Friday the thirteenth,
(31:46):
and a lot of you have weighed in want to
give the show. The show crew all put their picks
in Ali Silence of the Lambs, very very scary movie
back in the day. Anthony Hopkins Man, how good was
he in that? And the Clarisse character who was played
by Oh yeah, Jodie Foster. She was creating that too,
(32:09):
Greg twenty eight days later, Mike, these are all the
people who work on the show. Dracula's daughter Dean Evil
Dead Mojo went with young Frankenstein. Lisa went with Jaws.
And I have to say, I think Jaws is the
single most influential movie that has ever been made in
(32:29):
American history. And some of you out there like you're
crazy cling to think about it. I'm down at the
beach right now. I'm going to go in the water
when I get done with the show. And when I
go in the water, I will think, at least for
a moment, I hope I don't get eaten by a shark.
Every single person and a lot of this was such
a back in the day when this movie was made.
You've probably gotten scared of sharks swimming in a lake.
(32:52):
You've probably gotten scared of sharks swimming in a swimming
pool at night. That's how impactful this movie is. I'm
not sure that any movie ever made, has ever impacted
the American cultural conscience the same way that Jaws has.
Andrew went with Jacob's Ladder. That was a spooky movie.
And then Dub, Look, if I had to pick someone
(33:15):
to win a fight to the death that works on
the show, Buck well, Buck, you know he was in
the CIA. I don't even know. Buck might have all
sorts of crazy, you know, choke you out, you know,
or you know, make you pass out by bending your
thumb the wrong way. But Dub is a big dude.
Dub said, I hate scary movies. He's the biggest guy
(33:37):
on the show six probably six four two forty, and
he's afraid to watch scary movies. Okay, so we got
a couple more people who want to weigh in. Before
I do that, just want to say we're coming up
on the one year anniversary of Clay and Buck and
we are loving being able to spend three hours with
you guys every single day all over the country. Thank
(33:59):
you for let us to do this job. I really
do think, and I know I speak for Buck as well,
that we have the best jobs in the entire country.
I'm excited to get out of bed come talk with
you guys every single day. Thank you for making this
such a fun experience. As we come up on the
one year anniversary of this show. All right, Dan in Buffalo, Wyoming,
(34:22):
which is a heck of a name for a town.
What movie are you rolling with? I'm rolling with a
TV movie made in nineteen seventy two that you can
still watch on Netflix. It's called Gargoyles, and it was
absolutely terrifying. I was nineteen years old when it came
on TV. I was at home alone one night watching
(34:42):
the television and it struck. It struck a nerd with me,
and I haven't forgotten about it until over fifty years
or fifty years it's been. Yeah, I appreciate that, Dan,
I need to get out to Wyoming. By the way,
I've never spent any time in Wyoming. I love the
Yellowstone television show, and spoiler alert, they dump all the
dead bodies allegedly from Montana in Wyoming in a big
(35:06):
crevice there by the way. Yellowstone's a really fun show
if you need something to watch that is not really scary.
Adam in Florida. What part of Florida are you in? Oh, Florida?
Where in Florida? Laura go oh okay, yes, what would
you roll with as the scariest movies here on Friday
the thirteenth? You ever hear of Burnt Offerings? No, you
(35:30):
guys are giving me a lot of scary movies that
I'm not familiar with. I do know the omen which
I think is another one that you liked. That's right,
see Burnt Offerings. That's with Oliver Read and Karen Black
yea and Betty Davis has a little part in it.
I appreciate the call. I'll have to check. I have
been jotting down a bunch of these scary movies to
check out, and let's go ahead and close out the week.
(35:52):
Jim in Nantucket, Mass Has it gotten warm up in Nantucket? Yet?
Have all the people from out of town started to
roll in? Yet? This starting to roll in? But my
movie was Play Misty for me. Jessica Waters was a
knife wielding psychopath stock in Clint Eastwood. Interesting. We watched it.
(36:12):
We watched as a little movie theater. We gocha during
the week, about ten of us and would all sit separately.
By the end of the movie, we're all in the
same role. And then I walk home. I walk home
on the dark Street to my house. I can't go
to sleep, so I put TV on. Jessica Waters. This
is a guest on Johnny Cots and Show No showing
the worst clips of the movie. Thank you for the call.
(36:36):
Good luck with the influx of out of towners. I
appreciate all of you. Encourage you to have fantastic weekends.
I am Play Travis and this has been the Clay
and Buck Show. Go subscribe to the podcast. Make sure
you don't miss a single moment. We have had so
much fun. We got a one year party coming up
in a little bit. I'm gonna make the trip up
(36:56):
to New York City and hopefully they'll let me into
some of the businesses there. Buck will be back on Monday.
Thanks for hanging with us. Have fantastic weekend. Play Travis
and Buck Sexton on the front lines of truth.
