Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome to today's edition of the Clay Travis and Buck
Sexton Show podcast. Welcome in everybody to the Clay Travis
and Buck Sexton Show. Buck that's me gonna be solo
today because our main man, Clay is on a lovely
vacation with the family, the wife and kids is boys
(00:20):
having a great time up in Michigan. Lovely time a
year to be up there. But I've got a lot
to lead you through today, so we're going to dive
into it together. Later on doctor Slash. Senator Rand Paul
will be with us to talk about the Gain of
Function hearings Gain of Function research hearings on Cappel Hill,
(00:41):
where I mean you got to hear some of the
stuff that's being said, some of the conversations about wait,
this is the kind of research that was going on
at the Wuhan Institute of Virology near the Wet Market
in Wuhan Province where they initially found COVID and all
of the back and forth over the lablake theory. Over
(01:02):
the zoonotic transmission, Yeah, we haven't heard that term really
in a while, have we? Zoonotic transmission from animals to
humans or two other animals so we'll discuss that. To
be sure, our friend Monica Crowley, former assistant secretary at
the Treasury Department under Trump and author TV host. You'll
know Monica, she'll be with us talking about the economy,
(01:23):
that Biden regime faltering, it seems right now, certainly on
the economic front, and then some other things. Oh, the
biggest it's not the biggest flop ever. This is a
quite a statistic because I find biggest box office bombs
of all time to be really interesting subject matter, because
it's remarkable to think that somebody could have spent and
(01:46):
meaning executives, people do this for a living one hundred,
one hundred and fifty million dollars on a movie and lose,
you know, eighty million, one hundred million dollars whatever it is,
or more than that. Some of the biggest box of
bombs of all time. I'll tell you what they are later.
I know you've got your a few movies. I'm sure
coming to mind. But there is a movie that is
(02:07):
all about marrying wokeness and a superhero comic book, well
Batman in this case bat Girl, that will be the
most expensive movie ever made to be entirely shelved, meaning
that they spent, get this, ninety million dollars on a
(02:30):
movie that they are now not going to show anyone,
not on streaming, not on demand, not on you know, YouTube, whatever, nothing,
because it is because some test audiences saw it and
hated it so much. It's remarkable, isn't it. That's that's
(02:50):
a stunning achievement. Ninety million dollars just up in smoke.
Wokeness does terrible things. Terrible things. People will find this
out more and more the hard wait. But I actually
had a moment of surprise when I went back and
read the transcript of a press conference by Mayor Eric
(03:11):
Adams of New York City and his Police Commissioner Commissioner
as they were discussing Commissioner Sewell the situation of crime
in New York City. Let let me just start with
this is the new mayor of New York, relatively new.
He's been the job, what seven eight months now here
he is his mandate is to get crime under control.
(03:36):
And this is what it sounds like when he's describing
in America's largest city of eight and a half million people,
what the criminal justice system is like. Our criminal justice
system is insane. It is dangerous, it is harmful and
it's destroying the fabric of our city. Under the current law,
(03:58):
judges are not allowed to consider whether someone is a
threat to public safety when deciding whether or not to
hold them in custody. This is a big mistake. As
a result of this insane, broken system, our recidivism rates
have skyrocket. Tude, I'm just wondering, does he sound like
(04:21):
anybody you all know that you've all heard recently. It's crazy,
It's insane. Recidivism is skyrocketing, right, It sounds like what
we've been saying on this show for a year now.
I live here in New York City. I was born
and raised here in New York City. I know this
town as well as anybody. And yeah, it's gotten worse.
(04:44):
The numbers show it. You're feeling on the streets that
sense you have, and any of you who live in
a city anywhere in the country where you've gotta always
be a little aware of your surroundings, you know, it's
more dangerous on the subway, more dangerous on the streets
at night. Something has changed here. And here you have
the mayor of New York telling everybody that, yes, what
(05:04):
the progressive prosecutors and the end mass incarceration. The defund
police BLM movement has done to this and so many
other cities is wildly destructive. It undermines public safety and
the data. They had a data dump which I'll share
some of it with you. There's just a yesterday official
(05:27):
press conference. Didn't get a lot, not a lot of pickup.
You'll notice at CNN, not a lot of pickup on
this over at MSNBC or you know, PBS. Oh, let's
talk more about ending mass incarceration today on PBS. You know,
it's all these libs who, even if they live in
a city that is plagued by rising crime rates, they
(05:49):
live in rich areas, They live in fancy parts, so
they feel disconnected from it. More important to them, It
is more important to the Schumers and Pelosi's of the
world that they feel righteous, really, that they get to
be sanctimonious and a crew power while virtue signaling. Then
people in this country, including the minorities who are disproportionately
(06:14):
the victims of crime, are actually safer. More important to
the rich lifestyle lives that they get to walk around
and think, oh, did you see the BLM sticker I
have on my yard? Sign I'm doing my part for justice. Yeah,
what's happening in predominantly black and Hispanic neighborhoods in the
last two years in New York, Los Angeles, Houston, Chicago.
(06:37):
What's been going on since Democrats who put their BLM
stickers and the black square up on Instagram and pray
to Saint George Floyd. What has happened in the cities
that have taken that mantra? Well, you've got do you
have to take my word for it, although you should.
The Mayor of New York, Eric Adams, is laying it
(06:59):
out for everybody. He said, the criminal justice system is
insane recidivism rates and this was the big objection, the
objection to the change in our criminal justice system, which
came from a moment of you know, the panic of
mass white guilt during the BLM riots. It was okay, well,
(07:20):
we have to change things. Let's defund police. Let's let's
have state legislatures push push push laws that make it
so that you get out effectively right after a criminal infractions,
that we lower, we lower the pain points for being
a criminal. That was effectively what they were doing under
(07:41):
the pretense that what a lot of innocent people are
spending long time in prison. That's just not true. That's
not true. Ninety nine out of one hundred people in
the criminal justice system serving actual time. I got news
for you. They did the crime. I know there are
innocence and our people are gonna, yeah, what about this,
because yeah, of course, ninety nine out of one hundred
the actual crime. And remember, we're at a time here
(08:04):
where people are being held in solitary for going on
two years for non violent crimes on January sixth in
some cases, while other people are committing ten fifteen, one
hundred serious crimes over months, if not years. Just let
(08:26):
them out, Just let them out. Don't want to punish
them too harshly. That seems unfair, That seems unjust. Nancy
Pelosi doesn't get to look at all of her rich
friends across their glasses, their big glasses of chardonnay and
feel like they're doing their part when people go to
prison who break the law a lot. No, that doesn't
make them feel good. Mayor Adams, New York City, Mayor
(08:48):
here you go. Let's look at the real numbers, he says.
In twenty twenty two, twenty five percent of the fourteen
hundred and ninety four people arrested for burglary committed another
felony within six days. That's three hundred ninety three people
who did the same In twenty seventeen, just seven point
seven percent went on to commit another crime. So call
(09:13):
it a tripling of the recidivism rate. That's just in
a few years, the recidivism rate tripled. Why they'll reform,
progressive prosecutors all of this. So this is now more
on the criminal justice end. Right, there's law and order.
You've all seen that show so many times. The cops
are doing their jobs. The cops are making a lot
(09:33):
of arrests. The cops are doing their part here in
New York a lot of other places, even with all
the pressure on them, even with the shifting political wins.
It's what happens after the arrest is made. That's where
the system is entirely breaking down. That is the week
seem that the Sorros radicals are using to undermine public
(09:56):
safety in the name of racial justice. This is what
they're doing. Our criminal justice system is racist, therefore we
must change it in these ways. But hold on, that
doesn't address whatever racism you think is in the criminal
justice system. You're just not punishing criminals. They don't think
beyond that. And I'll get into some even more stunning
(10:16):
statistics here in a second. So the recidivism rate, for example,
for grand larceny in twenty twenty two, This is from
the mayor from the press conference. Sixty day recidivism rate
was sixteen point eight percent. In twenty seventeen six point
five percent, so it triples. It triples again another major
(10:38):
crime category where and it just goes by the way,
this is a long press conference. They go on and
on and on. This is happening all over the place.
This is not just happening across all crime categories in
New York City. It's in every city. It's in Portland,
it's in Houston, it's in la it's in Atlanta, it's
in Chicago, it's in Phoenix. Name a city where there
(10:58):
are progressive prosecutor and Democrats calling the shots. This became
this became almost a religious belief for the Libs. And
then this one is even more interestant to me. This
is from Chief Michael la Petri, who is the chief
of Control Strategies of the Police Department. Remember, I worked
in the Intel division the NYPD for a year. I
(11:19):
did a kind of a rotation there. I spent some
time in Intel division, so got used to looking at
the numbers and crime stats, and they do a lot
of analysis of this stuff. Here's what he says. In
New York City, we've identified seven hundred and sixteen individuals
who are responsible for approximately thirty percent of the shooting
(11:40):
incidents since twenty twenty one. Thirty percent of shooting incidents
since twenty twenty one. Thinking about that, over the last year,
you have less than a thousand people committing a third
of all shootings in New York. This really starts to
put it in perspective. Then, this is the critical point
(12:01):
that I've made you so many times, and this is
where the leftist mentality, critical race theory, indoctrination in BLM,
and all of this, this ideology rooted in agitation and
racial Marxism. This is where it all collapses because you
(12:23):
see that when you have roughly seven hundred people committing
a third of the shootings in New York. Because these
people are committing multiple shootings, fifty percent of them, by
the way, already have a felony charge. So they're looking
for them now. They already have a felony charge in
their background, and they shot somebody, just to put it
(12:43):
in perspective. Okay, So what we're going to say that
there there are let's say a few thousand shooting incidents,
I'm sorry, twenty four hundred shooting incidents in New York
City since twenty twenty one. Twenty four hundred shooting incidents, okay, total.
So you have call it two thousand people in New
(13:04):
York City total who have this is by the numbers,
by the book, by the stats, folks, about two thousand
people who have committed all of the shootings in New
York give or take right, it's about two thousand people.
What is what is the just because they say this
is about racial justice, what is the black population of
New York City alone? How many black residents? How many
(13:26):
black fellow New Yorkers are there here? About two million? Okay, So,
in the name of racial justice, the sorrows progressive prosecutors decide,
let's go really easy on the less than a thousand
people who are committing all of the shootings, who are disproportionately,
(13:47):
disproportionately victimizing the two million black residents of New York City,
the over a million Latino residents of New York City.
So ninety nine percent plus of the Black and Hispanic
population of New York City law abiding, living their lives,
committing no crimes, just like all the rest of them.
(14:08):
This is one I live of course, right, makes perfect sense.
But the progressive prosecutors come in and say, oh, we've
got disproportion. You know, we've got Rikers Island is ninety
percent black and Hispanic, which is true. By the way,
the primary jail here, the primary prison is nine black
and Hispanic. So we just need to let more people
out of prison. That is this is what they are doing.
(14:30):
I'm I'm not exaggerating. And they decided we have too
many people who are minorities in prison. Therefore we're going
to incarcerate them less, and there will be more shootings,
more robberies, more assaults that affect the several million black
and Hispanic residents of New York City disproportionately. I think
(14:51):
the criminal justice system should should should work much more
toward the benefit of the ninety nine point nine percent
of the law abiding in the minority community. In any community,
then cater to the interests of criminals who as they
point out in this by the numbers, by the stats,
are committing sometimes thirty fifty, a hundred serious crimes. Where
(15:17):
here you go. This is Chief Lapetrie. We talked about
the seven major arrest categories. When we look at who
are arresting, we are arresting individuals sometimes a hundred times
since twenty twenty a hundred times. Okay. That's from the
chief of Stats at the NYPD basically and crime. Yeah,
all right, take a break here for a second to
(15:38):
talk about Mike Lindell. He is an entrepreneur through and
through and a job creator for so many Americans. Their
success with one product introduction after another is remarkable. So
it is the quality of their products, like their sheets,
and betting they've got a big sale going on right
now on their per cow sheets Queen size sets that
we're ninety dollars are now less than forty dollars. The
(15:59):
beauty of these bed sheets is that they're breathable and
have a cool, crisp feel, perfect for hot summer nights.

the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show. This is Buck
solo today, Clay on vacation with his family. Gain a
(16:44):
Function Research, the Live League theory, Fouci China, A lot
of big topics to handle. Right now, we've got Senator
rand Paul with us now of Kentucky. Senator, thanks for
calling in absolutely thanks for having me Buck. So what
are you trying to get to the bottom off here
with these hearings with Gain of Function Research? What should
(17:06):
the American people know about this? And why are we
digging deeper into it? You know, a million Americans died,
six point four million people died around the world, and
I'm actually just shocked that the other side and many
on the Democrat side are not curious at all. Wouldn't
we all want to know if there's a chance, even
a chance that this came from the lab. Wouldn't we
(17:28):
want to know? And wouldn't we want more oversight on
the kind of research that creates novel viruses that increase
their transmissibility or increase their lethality. I don't understand why
anybody wouldn't want to know, But we had yesterday the
first hearing ever on gain of function. Gain of function
is when you take a virus of known lethality and
(17:50):
then you try to make it more infectious or more lethal. Well,
this is the research that was going on in Wuhan, China,
and we were funding. When doctor Vauci was asked directly
about it, East says, oh, no, we're not doing that.
But we had three scientists yesterday, including a scientist who's
the leading advocate for better oversight of this, who's been
talking about this since two thousand and four. He testified
(18:12):
yesterday that what Fauci said was false, that they were
doing of gain and function research. It was funded by
the NIH and interestingly, doctor Fauci's claimed that his people
had reviewed it and found it not to be gain
a function was not true. Either. There's a committee, a
pandemic committee that oversees these viruses and if they're supposed
(18:33):
to be dangerous or could cause a pandemic. They never
reviewed the research in China. To make things matters, To
make matters worse, that three scientists yesterday testify that the
Pandemic Review Committee that's supposed to prevent stuff like this
from happening is secret. We don't know the names of
the scientists on it, and their reports are secret. We
(18:55):
do know that they've only investigated three different research contracts.
They didn't investigate any of the Wuhan research that was
going on that may well have led to this virus
and this pandemic. And doctor Fauci and doctor Burkes and
some of the others Wilenski who have been pushing so
(19:16):
much policy during the COVID pandemic. I'm sure you've seen
Senator Paul they're continuing with this you need to mask
up indoors. They're continuing with the belief that the vaccines
work really well. What are you gonna do if Republicans
have control of the Senate and the House, which I'm hoping,
and this audience is hoping is what's going to happen
(19:37):
relatively soon here. What else is gonna you know, what
else do you want to chase down about COVID, about
the pandemic. I mean, you know, Ron de Santisa, Florida,
the governor just reminded everybody earlier this week that the
health establishment of this country thought it was okay to
approve BLM riots out in the streets while people couldn't
see their sick relatives in the hospital or hug them
(19:58):
or touch them. It's going to happen if you can
actually hold hearings the way you want to. We'll investigate
every last bit of this. We will subpoena all of
doctor Fauci's records. We're going to find out whether there
was a cover up. Within the first month, there was
a letter issued by into Lancet Scientific Journal that said
it was a conspiracy theory to indicate you believed this
(20:21):
came from a lab. This letter was organized by the
main funder of the Wuhan research Eco Health Alliance was
funding the research. He worked behind the scenes to get
scientists to sign the letter, saying you're crazy if you
think this came from a lab. He was covering his butt. Well,
we're going to find all of this information through subpoena.
(20:41):
As far as what works and doesn't work, there's a
host of information, in fact, a plethora of information that
shows that putting stickers on the floor does nothing but
enriched the people who make the stickers, but it doesn't
slow the virus down. Plexiglass doesn't work, masks don't work,
will be war masks, and where they didn't wear masks
that had exactly the same transmission in states that we're
(21:04):
under lockdown, like California versus states like Florida that we're open.
No difference in the transmission of the illness, no difference
in death rate. Ultimately, So really, I think what we're
gonna do is we're going to bring in the scientist
and we're going to discuss this and have science and
have evidence and have studies presented. But we can do
this again. I mean, they about destroyed our country. The
(21:27):
massive inflation that we're experiencing now is because of the
lockdown and all the checks that were passed out. Speaking
of Senator Rand Paul of Kentucky and Senator you mentioned inflation,
the checks that were passed out, what do you want
to tell people about this bill that now Joe Mansion
seems to have breathed new life into the anti inflation
(21:49):
spending tax bill. It's a terrible idea to raise taxes
when you're in a recession. All indications we're in a recession.
I think we're an intercession that we'll get worse. But
the tax increases a surefire way to make your recession
worse and to exacerbate unemployment. Even Barack Obama in two
thousand and eight said we're not going to raise taxes
(22:09):
during a recession. Chuck Schumer used to believe this. Most
economists have said, don't raise taxes in a recession. So
it's a really bad idea. But if you think the
Democrats electoral prospects were bad when they pass this, prices
are going to go up. There's a special tax on
natural gas. As we enter into the fall and winter season.
(22:30):
People are going to see their heating bills go up
and their natural gas bills go up. Everyone, not just
rich people. Everybody's bill is going to go up. So
this is going to be a disaster for the country,
and it's something we can only hope that maybe one
Senator Senator Cinema might say, my goodness, do I really
want to vote for something that it's going to lead
(22:51):
us further into recession? Do you think there's a chance,
a Senator Paul, that Senator Cinema may back off of this.
I'm seeing and she's and I only know what I'm
reading publicly, but what I'm reading publicly is that she
has some doubts out part of it. If I had
to guess, she's going to maybe whittle down some of
the taxes won't be quite as bad, but the overall
(23:11):
bill is going to still be bad for the country.
Can she make it less bad? Perhaps? Senator we're also
here heard all across the state of Kentucky, your home state,
and I know that there have been dozens killed in
the in the recent flooding. You've been following this issue
very closely, trying to get government attention and resources to
help folks affected. How is that that recovery effort going?
(23:35):
What can you tell us? You know, if you've seen
the pictures of dramatic rescues by helicopter, it's just out
of this world. But we have saved, you know, dozens
and dozens of people who might not have made it,
but for the great rescue workers. You know, these are
EMT helicopter pilots, National Guard, police, fire all the first
(23:55):
responders are just doing an incredible job. As we do,
there'll be a long effort to clean up and to
get people back into houses, shelter, food, etc. Clothing and
then really as we get beyond that, one of the
things I'm already starting to talk about is whether or not,
you know, we have great sophistication in measuring rainfall and
predicting rainfall and tornadoes. Certainly, as we measure rivers rising,
(24:18):
maybe there needs to be a secondary sort of alarm system.
It can be the same tornado alarm system, but maybe
it goes off such that people are saying they're now
telling us the second alarm means the river's gone up
three inches, and within the next hour, there's a chance
that's in my house. Centat how quickly did this come on?
For people that maybe don't maybe don't know the story,
the background, how quickly did this flood happen? We had
(24:42):
ten and a half to eleven inches in the space
of several hours. Now you'll see that sometimes on the
Gulf Coast and hurricanes, I grew up in the Houston area,
and I remember getting twenty seven inches in four days,
and that's a lot of rain, and you'd have standing
rain on the ground, but Houston's flat, whereas this is
all the rain is collected. So if you have ten
inches of rain, but all of the area of ten
(25:04):
inches of rain for miles and miles drains into one
gully or one holler, you can see the effects can be,
you know, fifty feet of water rising in a matter
of hours. And I think it truly was this. And
it was also particularly unfortunate because the rain was coming
in the evening and past midnight, so a lot of
the flooding was occurring after midnight when people are are
(25:25):
asleep and not maybe as a winner of the warnings
center around, Paul, always appreciate your time, sir, Thanks for
calling in. Thanks Buck. Plenty of men and women in
this country are experiencing chronic pain, my friends. It happens
as we get older, we push ourselves a little bit
or just physically demanding things day to day. So how
do you find relief from that pain, which is often
(25:46):
caused by inflammation. The solution is relief factor one, drug
free with just four, all natural ingredients. I'm at the
gym fair amount these days, trying to get back into
shape like I was years ago, and it feels great.
Happy with the results so far. Could be a little faster,
but I've got some pain from all the over exertion,
particularly my left shoulder. That's where Relief Factor helps me out.
(26:08):
The first three weeks of taking it have really made
a difference. Relief Factor is created by doctors, perfected and
backed by over fifteen years of scientific research. Join them.
More than half a million people who have tried Relief
Factor in order the three week quick start for only
nineteen ninety five. Go to relief Factor dot com. Recall
eight hundred four relief one more times. You can get

clay Anne Buck. This is Buck Sexton here in NYC.
And we just got word that and the last last
(26:51):
couple of hours, I think it was that Britney Griner,
the WNBA basketball female basketball star, has received nine years
in a Russian prison, and here she is saying she
spoke in court we have her talking about this that
(27:11):
she never meant to break any laws. This was today
in Moscow. I want to apologize to my parents, my sibling,
Phoenix American Organization back at home, the amazing women of
the dog NBA, and my amazing spouse back at home.
I've never meant to hurt anybody. I never meant to
(27:33):
put in jeopardy of the Russian population. I've never meant
to break any laws here. I made an honestly state
and I hope that in your ruling that it doesn't
end my life here. I know that everybody keeps talking
about political pawn and politics, but I hope that that
is far from this courtroom. I want to say again
(27:56):
that I had no intent on breaking any Russian laws
intense the time. So there you have. Obviously it's a
it's a tough, a tough moment in time there for
for Britney Griner facing nine years in a Russian prison.
Russian prisons are notoriously hellish places, and she is, as
(28:23):
she mentions, as I hope that the court isn't the
Russian court hasn't taken new account politics, and it's really
what mostly Russian courts are concerned with what is in
a case like this, What does the regime think? How
does this look? This is international relations being played out
through and and of course spite through international relations played
(28:45):
out through a in the arrest of an individual. Look,
she broke the law, but I think from what I
have seen, it wasn't you know, she didn't get caught
smuggling a few kila of marijuana into Russia or a
heroin or something really serious. It was a vape pen
(29:05):
with some cannabis oil in it. I mean, there are
trucks on the streets of New York City that are
selling I think they're selling edibles and aren't there. Yeah,
they're weed trucks driving around New York City I see
all the time. There are some states where marijuana sales
are entirely legal now and there obviously have been in
Europe for a long time, countries where it is entirely
(29:27):
decriminalized and even commercialized. So the fact that she's getting
nine years is unjust. We all know this. I don't
think she's going to serve nine years. I think she's
likely to get out sooner than this, hopefully very soon.
Along with Paul Whalen, who is a former US marine
(29:49):
who's also wrongfully detained in Russia. And this is one
of these moments. We gotta remember, folks, whatever the individual
in this case, whatever their politics may be, whoever they
voted for, these are our people. These are Americans, and
we want them back. Now. People would say, but what
if somebody did something, you know, horrible in a foreign country.
(30:14):
You know, if someone murders some in a foreign country, Yeah,
you are subject. The State Department always reminds people of
you are subject to the laws of that country when
you were in the country. I do think that there
are some Americans who get a little little lax about
this stuff and they forget, Oh, if I'm in a
place where the punishment is ex for doing why saying
(30:36):
Uncle Sam's got my back isn't necessarily going to do
very much for you. And in a case of a
country like Russia or China, it can work against you.
And that's what, at least right now, we're seeing in
the Grinder case. I think we've have obviously seen that
with Paul well On, the former marine detained there on
some ridiculous trumped up charges, and this is what they
this is what they do now. They want to get
(30:57):
Victor about Out, the arms trafficker who is best known,
as I've told you before, as the inspiration for the
Nicolas Cage character and Lord of War its base. It's
essentially a Hollywood Eyes version of Victor Bout's life is
what you see in the in the Nicholas Cage movie.
And the Russians won him back because he did a
(31:19):
lot of things that the Russian government liked, and he
worked with a lot of former Soviet military interests, got
a lot of connections there. So this seems to be
the trade that is likely to happen. But in a
broader sense, I do think what we are seeing and
this might be, This might take some time to sink in.
(31:40):
We are increasingly operating now in a multi polar world
where US hegemony isn't it isn't absolute, and in fact
is being challenged in very direct ways. The Russians are
holding Britney Grinder for nine years. I know they'd say, oh,
this is under their laws, please okay. In Russia, you
(32:02):
know the right you know, you know the right guy
in a tracksuit with a gold chain on. You know
you are if you're friends with cousin Jory and he's
connected to the Kremlin. You're good to go. You're not.
You're not serving a minute in prison even if you're
you know, if you whack somebody, Okay, so I have her.
Some conservatives start to say, well, if you do the crime,
you do the time. Let's let's all keep perspective on this.
(32:26):
A lot of things in Russia they let you go
for this is there's politics coming in into play here.
I mean, you know, nine years for a for a
vape pen with weed is extreme, all right, we all
know it's extreme. If the Russians, you know, if they'd
given her six months a year, you might say, oh,
I am sympathetic to this. Though in another sense too,
(32:48):
because how many of you have had a moment where
you now I know, I know, but how many of
you who spend time at the range or who either
carry edge weapons for defense or just people that train
with edge weapons. You're at the airport and your bags
going through the machine and you go, I didn't I didn't,
(33:08):
you know, leave a magazine that was from my range bag, right,
I mean, you know, just that kind of thing can happen.
If you look at the TSA statistics, people people end
up with like you know, oh yeah, I had a
battle axe in my baggage. I forgot about it. I mean,
you know, people of crazy stuff and try to bring
emotional support peacocks on the plane. That actually happened. That
(33:31):
was the beginning of the end. I think for the
emotional support animal charade that some people were doing. You know, oh,
here's my you know, emotional support pigmy hippopotamus. It's like, well,
first of all, have you ever seen the pigmy hippo
at the DC Zoo, one of my favorite amazing, amazing,
See this is what happens startin thing? Well could I
Apparently they're you know, endangered or threatened species, so having
(33:54):
one as a pet would probably not fly. But they
are very cute. But back to the airport situation, I
think it's easy for it's easy for people lose sight
of how much this is now in the realm of
the great game international statesmanship and intrigue between Vladimir Putin
(34:15):
and Joe Biden. And I do firmly believe that if
Donald Trump were in charge, Putin would have a different
feeling about this. I think as much as Putin thought
of Trump, as I know the media was saying, oh,
Putin Trump love each other. They have a romance, and
that's all crap. I do think that Putin, as a
bad guy, had a respect for Donald Trump that he
(34:38):
simply does not have for Joe Biden. I think he
thinks Joe Biden is an income poop and should be,
you know, breaking up breadcrumbs to feed to the pigeons somewhere.
I mean, I think that they really don't. I think
that Putin has no respect at all for Joe Biden,
and that stuff matters. In Russia, a phone call from
Vladimir Putin releases Brittany Griner same day. It's all it
(35:01):
takes people. You know, in this country, there's some process,
right although there's obviously the pardon power from the present.
But even for the pardon power, there's supposed to be.
Trump did pardon one or two people with a tweet,
but usually there's some process and it goes through White
House Council. In Russia, it's just let her out, and
Putin could do that with a phone call. We all
know that. So it is different, and I think it's
(35:23):
a It's a reminder for so many Democrats who are
fed a diet of delusion by the media. Around all
things Russia and Trump. That we are less safe when
we have a commander in chief who does not seem
with it, who is not formidable, does not have vision,
and is not respected. We just are We are less
(35:45):
safe as a people all of the world, every country
you're going to, there are is far less concerned now
from opposition regimes like Russia and China, far less concern
about getting a call from a Joe Biden State Department
official than there would have been from the Trump White House.
I think we all know that. I think even the
Libs know that. Britney Griner in her letter seemed to
(36:08):
express that and that disappointment in the Biden administration at
this point. So you know, we do need to remember
that Americans are our people and we want them back.
We want them not to be used as political pawns
in this way abroad and serving some really draconian sentence.
So hopefully Biden brings Paul whalenback, Hopefully Biden brings Britney
(36:32):
Grinder back. But China and Russia are feeling a whole
lot more free to throw their weight around at our
expense as a nation and at the perception of American
prestige and power than they have in years. And I
think we all know why what have you done for
yourself this year to protect the value of your savings
(36:52):
account given the crazy markets and all the inflation we're seeing.
I mean, inflation was up more than nine percent this year,
So the dollars you've saved aren't now worth that much less.
If you leave all of your savings in cash, that's
not a good plan. If you invest in the stock market,
you can see some real turbulence and take some serious
losses crypto, I mean, what a roll of the dice
that is. Yes, in real estate, you gotta ask yourself,
(37:15):

o LB. Welcome back to play Travis and Buck Sexton Show.
Got word in from our main man, Clay, co host
(38:22):
of this phenomenal program. He is having a great time.
He's on the golf course with one of his boys
and he says he is, you know, big Hit or
the Llama. He's doing very well and enjoying himself. And yeah,
I'll be back with us on Monday. Biggest box office bombs.
Fun topic of conversation, especially right now giving what we
(38:46):
have just seen here with this Batman movie. In case
you were wondering and we got to find a way
to see this thing, I mean, somebody has to find
the means to get this into the public domain so
that we will be able to watch this Batman movie.
(39:09):
They spent ninety million dollars on a bat Girl film,
ninety million dollars that they just bailed on entirely. Think
about this, that's a lot of money, right, I mean,
I think we could all agree that's that's a lot
of cash to lay out for something and there's nothing
(39:31):
coming out of it. Morner Brothers executives have said, Well,
what they're saying is I am proud of the love
of hard work and intention of all of our incredible
cast and career. YadA, YadA, YadA. Yeah, this thing was
a stinker, obviously, Man, I wish I could see this.
It was going to be the first ever female Latina
(39:54):
big budget superhero film, I think is what they were,
or maybe just the first female Latina bat Batman, bat Girl,
bat person. As the case, maybe this was gonna be
the first time that they had done this. So as
we keep talking about, as we keep telling you, there
(40:14):
is this wokeness, There is this wokeness desire that pushes
a lot of the decision making for things like this,
what gets green led as a project and that it's
not just about the bottom line, folks. There are there's
ideology behind this, but there's also fear if you're a
Warner Brothers executive, if you're a Netflix or Amazon Prime,
(40:37):
or if you're an executive at any of these places
that are green lighting massive creative projects, and you are
insufficiently woke as in pushing the transagenda, as in dramatically
increasing visual diversity on the screen of you know, actors
(40:59):
who are actors from the BIPOC community. So you need
the BIPOC community, you need the lgbtq I A plus
community to be dramatically represented, overrepresented in your projects, or
else you get fired. And I'll tell you a lot
of these things, a lot of these media jobs people have,
(41:21):
especially on the executive side. Man, you get all this
great pay. It's a hard job to get. It's a
great job to have millions of dollars stock options. You're important,
you're powerful. People suck up to you all the time.
They don't want to lose those jobs. So there's the
people that want to do it because they really believe
in it, and then there are the people that go
along with it or that push it because you know,
(41:43):
they just want to keep the house in Malibu and
the Hampton's and the ski place and Aspen and you know,
all that stuff, right, So that's how you get to
a I mean, I can't review it because they're just
deep sixing. They're just they're they're dropping the original of
this film in the bottom of Davy Jones's locker right there.
(42:04):
They're gonna take it out in the ocean and just
drop the tapes, so to speak. They were gonna act
like this never happened. That is amazing. This is the
biggest swinging a miss on a movie entirely miss right.
It's not just a box office bombs, or when they
spend a lot of money and they and they lose
a ton of money, that's a box office bomb. This
(42:24):
is something else. This is more like a box office
reactor meltdown. It's like never even never even got out
to be deployed. This is something else. So I wish
I could see it. And I'm sure at some point
someone's gonna find a way to get this thing out.
They got this movie, this Batgirl movie out there so
(42:45):
that we can all watch and check it out. But
I was looking at this now, this is just there's
different ways that calculate this. This is off of just
the Wikipedia list. Now, Wikipedia has got a lot of politicization,
and you can't trust everything in Wikipedia. I think on
this on box office bombs is probably pretty straightforward. But
this was the first list that came up, and I
(43:06):
was just looking to see some of these. I gotta
tell you, I was pretty bummed that on this list
you have The Thirteenth Warrior with Antonio Banderis, which is
I believe loosely based on Eaters of the Dead by
Michael Crichton. I could be wrong on that one, but
I saw The Thirteenth Warrior. It's not good, don't get
(43:28):
me wrong, but it's not that bad as a movie
from nineteen ninety nine. Antonio Banderis is also playing an
Arab guy, which I feel like there's less of that
these days. I remember I was I'm being serious. In
high school, we had a film study module that wasn't
really a full course, so I think they called it
a module or something like that, so it was like
(43:49):
a half we'd have once a week for an hour
or something. We had a film course and we saw
Rambo First Blood Part two and the professor pointed out
that the a large number this is what he told us,
at least the film professor, A large number of the
extras in that movie, supposedly in Vietnam were of the
(44:11):
Latin X community, so they were miscasting people, which now
you're not you're not allowed. You know, you won't get
away with that the same way that it used to
be considered. Okay, remember the early days of theaters there.
Everything has changed so much. Let me see forty seven Ronin.
Never saw that one. That movie, Thirteenth Warrior lost close
(44:34):
to one hundred one hundred million dollars adjusted for inflation
is one hundred million dollars loss. So this Batgirl ninety
million dollars loss is one of the biggest film losses
of all time. And remember never even got released, right,
so it grossed. It's getting a zero gross and a
ninety million dollar budget. Forty seven Ronin. I don't did
any of you guys? I didn't even know what that
(44:55):
did you? Any of you see that or no other? No?
Ronin is a good Yeah, Ronan is a good movie.
You've heard of it? Okay, Rohan's a good movie. I
think there's is it twenty nine assassins? Mike? Would you
check from me a producer? Ali, there's a movie like
nineteen Assassins or twenty nine Assassins. It's a ninja movie,
Samurai sort of ninja movie that is subtitled I'm gonna
(45:18):
tell you right now, what's it called. Thirteen is right.
So there's the Thirteenth Warrior, which is terrible. I mean,
I kind of I look comin Antonio Banderis fans. I'm
a little bit shaky on how much, but it's not
a good movie. Thirteen Assassins is awesome. Thirteen Assassins is
(45:40):
like is like in seven Samurai category of phenomenal film telling.
Your producer, Mike added to the list. I mean, first
The Last Kingdom on Netflix, but then check out thirteen
assassin other ones on here. The Adventures of Pluto Nash.
This is two thousand and two that lost, what's the
that lost? One hundred? Oh these aren't in order of
(46:01):
the biggest laws, so thirteen oh no, they they kind
of are inventors of Pluto Nash with that had Eddie Murphy, Right, Yeah,
that's one of those movies where you saw the trailer.
I saw the trailer for the movie Theater. I was like,
that looks like the worst movie ever made, And I
was right, that's up there. Send us in by the
mcclanbuck dot com. Please subscribe. Become a subscriber, and then
(46:23):
you can send us direct emails. We'll see it. What
is for you the worst box office bomb of all time?
Now that's not the worst movie of all time, that's
a whole other conversation. But the worst box office bomb
meaning a movie that sucked and lost so much money
that you consider it the biggest bomb ever. I mean
there's a lot, a lot on this list. Battleship Believe
(46:47):
it or Not is on here, which I know some
people kind of like I thought the movie. I was like, wait,
there's just aliens, no explanation, and now the battleships are
it's it's almost though so bad, it's good and so
bad it's good territory. G Oh wow, Julie lost one
hundred and six million dollars when adjusted for inflation. That
it's hard to make a movie that has basically no
(47:09):
special effects and lose that much money. The only movie
this is always I always thought this was interesting. Cutthroat
Island Still Goes Down, which had what's that guy's name?
I can't remember, isn't it yeah? Had Gina Davis correct?
Cutthroat Island is the only movie still to this day
in history that has the has the special distinction of
(47:33):
causing the actual shutdown of the entire studio. Like it
was so bad that not only did it bomb, but
it put a big hole in the middle of the ship,
and the whole pirate ship went down with it. The
whole studio that made that movie was gone afterwards. Well,
there's a lot, there's a lot on this lad I'm
trying to think of some of the ones that I've
(47:53):
seen or that are It is incredible how many movies
they've made that have lost one hundred million dollars. It
does give you a sense ishtar. Now that's kicking at
old school, but some of you remember, this is nineteen
eighty seven and it lost. It lost, adjusted for inflation,
one hundred million dollars. An adventure comedy produced by Warren
(48:16):
Beatty co star Dustin Hoffman, a duo of untalented songwriters
who traveled to a booking in Morocco. One of the
worst movies of all time in terms of loss. Wow,
there's some really some amazingents on here. So anyway, this
goes right at the top, though, I mean, this is
among the biggest losses of all time. Moral of the story,
(48:36):
my friends, wokeness. It doesn't pay, It really doesn't. Just
give it. On a long enough timeline, the wokeness will
get you. We've got a fair number of people listening
to us across the country that make their living as farmers,
few jobs, few careers, few lifestyles, or as rewarding and
at the same time as difficult as being a farmer
these days, between the weather and this conversation about fertilizer shortages,
(49:00):
it's all going to influence the amount of food coming
from farms in America, and it may seriously affect harvests
in the future. They will likely be a lot smaller
because of these fertilizers shortages. Is also going to be
a lot more expensive. That's why you need to go

Welcome to today's edition of the Clay Travis and Buck
Sexton Show podcast. Welcome in everybody to the Clay Travis
and Buck Sexton Show. Buck that's me gonna be solo
today because our main man, Clay is on a lovely
vacation with the family, the wife and kids is boys
(00:20):
having a great time up in Michigan. Lovely time a
year to be up there. But I've got a lot
to lead you through today, so we're going to dive
into it together. Later on doctor Slash. Senator Rand Paul
will be with us to talk about the Gain of
Function hearings Gain of Function research hearings on Cappel Hill,
(00:41):
where I mean you got to hear some of the
stuff that's being said, some of the conversations about wait,
this is the kind of research that was going on
at the Wuhan Institute of Virology near the Wet Market
in Wuhan Province where they initially found COVID and all
of the back and forth over the lablake theory. Over
(01:02):
the zoonotic transmission, Yeah, we haven't heard that term really
in a while, have we? Zoonotic transmission from animals to
humans or two other animals so we'll discuss that. To
be sure, our friend Monica Crowley, former assistant secretary at
the Treasury Department under Trump and author TV host. You'll
know Monica, she'll be with us talking about the economy,
(01:23):
that Biden regime faltering, it seems right now, certainly on
the economic front, and then some other things. Oh, the
biggest it's not the biggest flop ever. This is a
quite a statistic because I find biggest box office bombs
of all time to be really interesting subject matter, because
it's remarkable to think that somebody could have spent and
(01:46):
meaning executives, people do this for a living one hundred,
one hundred and fifty million dollars on a movie and lose,
you know, eighty million, one hundred million dollars whatever it is,
or more than that. Some of the biggest box of
bombs of all time. I'll tell you what they are later.
I know you've got your a few movies. I'm sure
coming to mind. But there is a movie that is
(02:07):
all about marrying wokeness and a superhero comic book, well
Batman in this case bat Girl, that will be the
most expensive movie ever made to be entirely shelved, meaning
that they spent, get this, ninety million dollars on a
(02:30):
movie that they are now not going to show anyone,
not on streaming, not on demand, not on you know, YouTube, whatever, nothing,
because it is because some test audiences saw it and
hated it so much. It's remarkable, isn't it. That's that's
(02:50):
a stunning achievement. Ninety million dollars just up in smoke.
Wokeness does terrible things. Terrible things. People will find this
out more and more the hard wait. But I actually
had a moment of surprise when I went back and
read the transcript of a press conference by Mayor Eric
(03:11):
Adams of New York City and his Police Commissioner Commissioner
as they were discussing Commissioner Sewell the situation of crime
in New York City. Let let me just start with
this is the new mayor of New York, relatively new.
He's been the job, what seven eight months now here
he is his mandate is to get crime under control.
(03:36):
And this is what it sounds like when he's describing
in America's largest city of eight and a half million people,
what the criminal justice system is like. Our criminal justice
system is insane. It is dangerous, it is harmful and
it's destroying the fabric of our city. Under the current law,
(03:58):
judges are not allowed to consider whether someone is a
threat to public safety when deciding whether or not to
hold them in custody. This is a big mistake. As
a result of this insane, broken system, our recidivism rates
have skyrocket. Tude, I'm just wondering, does he sound like
(04:21):
anybody you all know that you've all heard recently. It's crazy,
It's insane. Recidivism is skyrocketing, right, It sounds like what
we've been saying on this show for a year now.
I live here in New York City. I was born
and raised here in New York City. I know this
town as well as anybody. And yeah, it's gotten worse.
(04:44):
The numbers show it. You're feeling on the streets that
sense you have, and any of you who live in
a city anywhere in the country where you've gotta always
be a little aware of your surroundings, you know, it's
more dangerous on the subway, more dangerous on the streets
at night. Something has changed here. And here you have
the mayor of New York telling everybody that, yes, what
(05:04):
the progressive prosecutors and the end mass incarceration. The defund
police BLM movement has done to this and so many
other cities is wildly destructive. It undermines public safety and
the data. They had a data dump which I'll share
some of it with you. There's just a yesterday official
(05:27):
press conference. Didn't get a lot, not a lot of pickup.
You'll notice at CNN, not a lot of pickup on
this over at MSNBC or you know, PBS. Oh, let's
talk more about ending mass incarceration today on PBS. You know,
it's all these libs who, even if they live in
a city that is plagued by rising crime rates, they
(05:49):
live in rich areas, They live in fancy parts, so
they feel disconnected from it. More important to them, It
is more important to the Schumers and Pelosi's of the
world that they feel righteous, really, that they get to
be sanctimonious and a crew power while virtue signaling. Then
people in this country, including the minorities who are disproportionately
(06:14):
the victims of crime, are actually safer. More important to
the rich lifestyle lives that they get to walk around
and think, oh, did you see the BLM sticker I
have on my yard? Sign I'm doing my part for justice. Yeah,
what's happening in predominantly black and Hispanic neighborhoods in the
last two years in New York, Los Angeles, Houston, Chicago.
(06:37):
What's been going on since Democrats who put their BLM
stickers and the black square up on Instagram and pray
to Saint George Floyd. What has happened in the cities
that have taken that mantra? Well, you've got do you
have to take my word for it, although you should.
The Mayor of New York, Eric Adams, is laying it
(06:59):
out for everybody. He said, the criminal justice system is
insane recidivism rates and this was the big objection, the
objection to the change in our criminal justice system, which
came from a moment of you know, the panic of
mass white guilt during the BLM riots. It was okay, well,
(07:20):
we have to change things. Let's defund police. Let's let's
have state legislatures push push push laws that make it
so that you get out effectively right after a criminal infractions,
that we lower, we lower the pain points for being
a criminal. That was effectively what they were doing under
(07:41):
the pretense that what a lot of innocent people are
spending long time in prison. That's just not true. That's
not true. Ninety nine out of one hundred people in
the criminal justice system serving actual time. I got news
for you. They did the crime. I know there are
innocence and our people are gonna, yeah, what about this,
because yeah, of course, ninety nine out of one hundred
the actual crime. And remember, we're at a time here
(08:04):
where people are being held in solitary for going on
two years for non violent crimes on January sixth in
some cases, while other people are committing ten fifteen, one
hundred serious crimes over months, if not years. Just let
(08:26):
them out, Just let them out. Don't want to punish
them too harshly. That seems unfair, That seems unjust. Nancy
Pelosi doesn't get to look at all of her rich
friends across their glasses, their big glasses of chardonnay and
feel like they're doing their part when people go to
prison who break the law a lot. No, that doesn't
make them feel good. Mayor Adams, New York City, Mayor
(08:48):
here you go. Let's look at the real numbers, he says.
In twenty twenty two, twenty five percent of the fourteen
hundred and ninety four people arrested for burglary committed another
felony within six days. That's three hundred ninety three people
who did the same In twenty seventeen, just seven point
seven percent went on to commit another crime. So call
(09:13):
it a tripling of the recidivism rate. That's just in
a few years, the recidivism rate tripled. Why they'll reform,
progressive prosecutors all of this. So this is now more
on the criminal justice end. Right, there's law and order.
You've all seen that show so many times. The cops
are doing their jobs. The cops are making a lot
(09:33):
of arrests. The cops are doing their part here in
New York a lot of other places, even with all
the pressure on them, even with the shifting political wins.
It's what happens after the arrest is made. That's where
the system is entirely breaking down. That is the week
seem that the Sorros radicals are using to undermine public
(09:56):
safety in the name of racial justice. This is what
they're doing. Our criminal justice system is racist, therefore we
must change it in these ways. But hold on, that
doesn't address whatever racism you think is in the criminal
justice system. You're just not punishing criminals. They don't think
beyond that. And I'll get into some even more stunning
(10:16):
statistics here in a second. So the recidivism rate, for example,
for grand larceny in twenty twenty two, This is from
the mayor from the press conference. Sixty day recidivism rate
was sixteen point eight percent. In twenty seventeen six point
five percent, so it triples. It triples again another major
(10:38):
crime category where and it just goes by the way,
this is a long press conference. They go on and
on and on. This is happening all over the place.
This is not just happening across all crime categories in
New York City. It's in every city. It's in Portland,
it's in Houston, it's in la it's in Atlanta, it's
in Chicago, it's in Phoenix. Name a city where there
(10:58):
are progressive prosecutor and Democrats calling the shots. This became
this became almost a religious belief for the Libs. And
then this one is even more interestant to me. This
is from Chief Michael la Petri, who is the chief
of Control Strategies of the Police Department. Remember, I worked
in the Intel division the NYPD for a year. I
(11:19):
did a kind of a rotation there. I spent some
time in Intel division, so got used to looking at
the numbers and crime stats, and they do a lot
of analysis of this stuff. Here's what he says. In
New York City, we've identified seven hundred and sixteen individuals
who are responsible for approximately thirty percent of the shooting
(11:40):
incidents since twenty twenty one. Thirty percent of shooting incidents
since twenty twenty one. Thinking about that, over the last year,
you have less than a thousand people committing a third
of all shootings in New York. This really starts to
put it in perspective. Then, this is the critical point
(12:01):
that I've made you so many times, and this is
where the leftist mentality, critical race theory, indoctrination in BLM,
and all of this, this ideology rooted in agitation and
racial Marxism. This is where it all collapses because you
(12:23):
see that when you have roughly seven hundred people committing
a third of the shootings in New York. Because these
people are committing multiple shootings, fifty percent of them, by
the way, already have a felony charge. So they're looking
for them now. They already have a felony charge in
their background, and they shot somebody, just to put it
(12:43):
in perspective. Okay, So what we're going to say that
there there are let's say a few thousand shooting incidents,
I'm sorry, twenty four hundred shooting incidents in New York
City since twenty twenty one. Twenty four hundred shooting incidents, okay, total.
So you have call it two thousand people in New
(13:04):
York City total who have this is by the numbers,
by the book, by the stats, folks, about two thousand
people who have committed all of the shootings in New
York give or take right, it's about two thousand people.
What is what is the just because they say this
is about racial justice, what is the black population of
New York City alone? How many black residents? How many
(13:26):
black fellow New Yorkers are there here? About two million? Okay, So,
in the name of racial justice, the sorrows progressive prosecutors decide,
let's go really easy on the less than a thousand
people who are committing all of the shootings, who are disproportionately,
(13:47):
disproportionately victimizing the two million black residents of New York City,
the over a million Latino residents of New York City.
So ninety nine percent plus of the Black and Hispanic
population of New York City law abiding, living their lives,
committing no crimes, just like all the rest of them.
(14:08):
This is one I live of course, right, makes perfect sense.
But the progressive prosecutors come in and say, oh, we've
got disproportion. You know, we've got Rikers Island is ninety
percent black and Hispanic, which is true. By the way,
the primary jail here, the primary prison is nine black
and Hispanic. So we just need to let more people
out of prison. That is this is what they are doing.
(14:30):
I'm I'm not exaggerating. And they decided we have too
many people who are minorities in prison. Therefore we're going
to incarcerate them less, and there will be more shootings,
more robberies, more assaults that affect the several million black
and Hispanic residents of New York City disproportionately. I think
(14:51):
the criminal justice system should should should work much more
toward the benefit of the ninety nine point nine percent
of the law abiding in the minority community. In any community,
then cater to the interests of criminals who as they
point out in this by the numbers, by the stats,
are committing sometimes thirty fifty, a hundred serious crimes. Where
(15:17):
here you go. This is Chief Lapetrie. We talked about
the seven major arrest categories. When we look at who
are arresting, we are arresting individuals sometimes a hundred times
since twenty twenty a hundred times. Okay. That's from the
chief of Stats at the NYPD basically and crime. Yeah,
all right, take a break here for a second to
(15:38):
talk about Mike Lindell. He is an entrepreneur through and
through and a job creator for so many Americans. Their
success with one product introduction after another is remarkable. So
it is the quality of their products, like their sheets,
and betting they've got a big sale going on right
now on their per cow sheets Queen size sets that
we're ninety dollars are now less than forty dollars. The
(15:59):
beauty of these bed sheets is that they're breathable and
have a cool, crisp feel, perfect for hot summer nights.
They come with a ten year warranty and a sixty
day money back guarantee. Buy them, sleep on them for
a month or two, make sure they're as good as
advertised and know that you've got the money back guarantee.

the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show. This is Buck
solo today, Clay on vacation with his family. Gain a
(16:44):
Function Research, the Live League theory, Fouci China, A lot
of big topics to handle. Right now, we've got Senator
rand Paul with us now of Kentucky. Senator, thanks for
calling in absolutely thanks for having me Buck. So what
are you trying to get to the bottom off here
with these hearings with Gain of Function Research? What should
(17:06):
the American people know about this? And why are we
digging deeper into it? You know, a million Americans died,
six point four million people died around the world, and
I'm actually just shocked that the other side and many
on the Democrat side are not curious at all. Wouldn't
we all want to know if there's a chance, even
a chance that this came from the lab. Wouldn't we
(17:28):
want to know? And wouldn't we want more oversight on
the kind of research that creates novel viruses that increase
their transmissibility or increase their lethality. I don't understand why
anybody wouldn't want to know, But we had yesterday the
first hearing ever on gain of function. Gain of function
is when you take a virus of known lethality and
(17:50):
then you try to make it more infectious or more lethal. Well,
this is the research that was going on in Wuhan, China,
and we were funding. When doctor Vauci was asked directly
about it, East says, oh, no, we're not doing that.
But we had three scientists yesterday, including a scientist who's
the leading advocate for better oversight of this, who's been
talking about this since two thousand and four. He testified
(18:12):
yesterday that what Fauci said was false, that they were
doing of gain and function research. It was funded by
the NIH and interestingly, doctor Fauci's claimed that his people
had reviewed it and found it not to be gain
a function was not true. Either. There's a committee, a
pandemic committee that oversees these viruses and if they're supposed
(18:33):
to be dangerous or could cause a pandemic. They never
reviewed the research in China. To make things matters, To
make matters worse, that three scientists yesterday testify that the
Pandemic Review Committee that's supposed to prevent stuff like this
from happening is secret. We don't know the names of
the scientists on it, and their reports are secret. We
(18:55):
do know that they've only investigated three different research contracts.
They didn't investigate any of the Wuhan research that was
going on that may well have led to this virus
and this pandemic. And doctor Fauci and doctor Burkes and
some of the others Wilenski who have been pushing so
(19:16):
much policy during the COVID pandemic. I'm sure you've seen
Senator Paul they're continuing with this you need to mask
up indoors. They're continuing with the belief that the vaccines
work really well. What are you gonna do if Republicans
have control of the Senate and the House, which I'm hoping,
and this audience is hoping is what's going to happen
(19:37):
relatively soon here. What else is gonna you know, what
else do you want to chase down about COVID, about
the pandemic. I mean, you know, Ron de Santisa, Florida,
the governor just reminded everybody earlier this week that the
health establishment of this country thought it was okay to
approve BLM riots out in the streets while people couldn't
see their sick relatives in the hospital or hug them
(19:58):
or touch them. It's going to happen if you can
actually hold hearings the way you want to. We'll investigate
every last bit of this. We will subpoena all of
doctor Fauci's records. We're going to find out whether there
was a cover up. Within the first month, there was
a letter issued by into Lancet Scientific Journal that said
it was a conspiracy theory to indicate you believed this
(20:21):
came from a lab. This letter was organized by the
main funder of the Wuhan research Eco Health Alliance was
funding the research. He worked behind the scenes to get
scientists to sign the letter, saying you're crazy if you
think this came from a lab. He was covering his butt. Well,
we're going to find all of this information through subpoena.
(20:41):
As far as what works and doesn't work, there's a
host of information, in fact, a plethora of information that
shows that putting stickers on the floor does nothing but
enriched the people who make the stickers, but it doesn't
slow the virus down. Plexiglass doesn't work, masks don't work,
will be war masks, and where they didn't wear masks
that had exactly the same transmission in states that we're
(21:04):
under lockdown, like California versus states like Florida that we're open.
No difference in the transmission of the illness, no difference
in death rate. Ultimately, So really, I think what we're
gonna do is we're going to bring in the scientist
and we're going to discuss this and have science and
have evidence and have studies presented. But we can do
this again. I mean, they about destroyed our country. The
(21:27):
massive inflation that we're experiencing now is because of the
lockdown and all the checks that were passed out. Speaking
of Senator Rand Paul of Kentucky and Senator you mentioned inflation,
the checks that were passed out, what do you want
to tell people about this bill that now Joe Mansion
seems to have breathed new life into the anti inflation
(21:49):
spending tax bill. It's a terrible idea to raise taxes
when you're in a recession. All indications we're in a recession.
I think we're an intercession that we'll get worse. But
the tax increases a surefire way to make your recession
worse and to exacerbate unemployment. Even Barack Obama in two
thousand and eight said we're not going to raise taxes
(22:09):
during a recession. Chuck Schumer used to believe this. Most
economists have said, don't raise taxes in a recession. So
it's a really bad idea. But if you think the
Democrats electoral prospects were bad when they pass this, prices
are going to go up. There's a special tax on
natural gas. As we enter into the fall and winter season.
(22:30):
People are going to see their heating bills go up
and their natural gas bills go up. Everyone, not just
rich people. Everybody's bill is going to go up. So
this is going to be a disaster for the country,
and it's something we can only hope that maybe one
Senator Senator Cinema might say, my goodness, do I really
want to vote for something that it's going to lead
(22:51):
us further into recession? Do you think there's a chance,
a Senator Paul, that Senator Cinema may back off of this.
I'm seeing and she's and I only know what I'm
reading publicly, but what I'm reading publicly is that she
has some doubts out part of it. If I had
to guess, she's going to maybe whittle down some of
the taxes won't be quite as bad, but the overall
(23:11):
bill is going to still be bad for the country.
Can she make it less bad? Perhaps? Senator we're also
here heard all across the state of Kentucky, your home state,
and I know that there have been dozens killed in
the in the recent flooding. You've been following this issue
very closely, trying to get government attention and resources to
help folks affected. How is that that recovery effort going?
(23:35):
What can you tell us? You know, if you've seen
the pictures of dramatic rescues by helicopter, it's just out
of this world. But we have saved, you know, dozens
and dozens of people who might not have made it,
but for the great rescue workers. You know, these are
EMT helicopter pilots, National Guard, police, fire all the first
(23:55):
responders are just doing an incredible job. As we do,
there'll be a long effort to clean up and to
get people back into houses, shelter, food, etc. Clothing and
then really as we get beyond that, one of the
things I'm already starting to talk about is whether or not,
you know, we have great sophistication in measuring rainfall and
predicting rainfall and tornadoes. Certainly, as we measure rivers rising,
(24:18):
maybe there needs to be a secondary sort of alarm system.
It can be the same tornado alarm system, but maybe
it goes off such that people are saying they're now
telling us the second alarm means the river's gone up
three inches, and within the next hour, there's a chance
that's in my house. Centat how quickly did this come on?
For people that maybe don't maybe don't know the story,
the background, how quickly did this flood happen? We had
(24:42):
ten and a half to eleven inches in the space
of several hours. Now you'll see that sometimes on the
Gulf Coast and hurricanes, I grew up in the Houston area,
and I remember getting twenty seven inches in four days,
and that's a lot of rain, and you'd have standing
rain on the ground, but Houston's flat, whereas this is
all the rain is collected. So if you have ten
inches of rain, but all of the area of ten
(25:04):
inches of rain for miles and miles drains into one
gully or one holler, you can see the effects can be,
you know, fifty feet of water rising in a matter
of hours. And I think it truly was this. And
it was also particularly unfortunate because the rain was coming
in the evening and past midnight, so a lot of
the flooding was occurring after midnight when people are are
(25:25):
asleep and not maybe as a winner of the warnings
center around, Paul, always appreciate your time, sir, Thanks for
calling in. Thanks Buck. Plenty of men and women in
this country are experiencing chronic pain, my friends. It happens
as we get older, we push ourselves a little bit
or just physically demanding things day to day. So how
do you find relief from that pain, which is often
(25:46):
caused by inflammation. The solution is relief factor one, drug
free with just four, all natural ingredients. I'm at the
gym fair amount these days, trying to get back into
shape like I was years ago, and it feels great.
Happy with the results so far. Could be a little faster,
but I've got some pain from all the over exertion,
particularly my left shoulder. That's where Relief Factor helps me out.

a difference. Relief Factor is created by doctors, perfected and
backed by over fifteen years of scientific research. Join them.

clay Anne Buck. This is Buck Sexton here in NYC.
And we just got word that and the last last
(26:51):
couple of hours, I think it was that Britney Griner,
the WNBA basketball female basketball star, has received nine years
in a Russian prison, and here she is saying she
spoke in court we have her talking about this that
(27:11):
she never meant to break any laws. This was today
in Moscow. I want to apologize to my parents, my sibling,
Phoenix American Organization back at home, the amazing women of
the dog NBA, and my amazing spouse back at home.
I've never meant to hurt anybody. I never meant to
(27:33):
put in jeopardy of the Russian population. I've never meant
to break any laws here. I made an honestly state
and I hope that in your ruling that it doesn't
end my life here. I know that everybody keeps talking
about political pawn and politics, but I hope that that
is far from this courtroom. I want to say again
(27:56):
that I had no intent on breaking any Russian laws
intense the time. So there you have. Obviously it's a
it's a tough, a tough moment in time there for
for Britney Griner facing nine years in a Russian prison.
Russian prisons are notoriously hellish places, and she is, as
(28:23):
she mentions, as I hope that the court isn't the
Russian court hasn't taken new account politics, and it's really
what mostly Russian courts are concerned with what is in
a case like this, What does the regime think? How
does this look? This is international relations being played out
through and and of course spite through international relations played
(28:45):
out through a in the arrest of an individual. Look,
she broke the law, but I think from what I
have seen, it wasn't you know, she didn't get caught
smuggling a few kila of marijuana into Russia or a
heroin or something really serious. It was a vape pen
(29:05):
with some cannabis oil in it. I mean, there are
trucks on the streets of New York City that are
selling I think they're selling edibles and aren't there. Yeah,
they're weed trucks driving around New York City I see
all the time. There are some states where marijuana sales
are entirely legal now and there obviously have been in
Europe for a long time, countries where it is entirely
(29:27):
decriminalized and even commercialized. So the fact that she's getting
nine years is unjust. We all know this. I don't
think she's going to serve nine years. I think she's
likely to get out sooner than this, hopefully very soon.
Along with Paul Whalen, who is a former US marine
(29:49):
who's also wrongfully detained in Russia. And this is one
of these moments. We gotta remember, folks, whatever the individual
in this case, whatever their politics may be, whoever they
voted for, these are our people. These are Americans, and
we want them back. Now. People would say, but what
if somebody did something, you know, horrible in a foreign country.
(30:14):
You know, if someone murders some in a foreign country, Yeah,
you are subject. The State Department always reminds people of
you are subject to the laws of that country when
you were in the country. I do think that there
are some Americans who get a little little lax about
this stuff and they forget, Oh, if I'm in a
place where the punishment is ex for doing why saying
(30:36):
Uncle Sam's got my back isn't necessarily going to do
very much for you. And in a case of a
country like Russia or China, it can work against you.
And that's what, at least right now, we're seeing in
the Grinder case. I think we've have obviously seen that
with Paul well On, the former marine detained there on
some ridiculous trumped up charges, and this is what they
this is what they do now. They want to get
(30:57):
Victor about Out, the arms trafficker who is best known,
as I've told you before, as the inspiration for the
Nicolas Cage character and Lord of War its base. It's
essentially a Hollywood Eyes version of Victor Bout's life is
what you see in the in the Nicholas Cage movie.
And the Russians won him back because he did a
(31:19):
lot of things that the Russian government liked, and he
worked with a lot of former Soviet military interests, got
a lot of connections there. So this seems to be
the trade that is likely to happen. But in a
broader sense, I do think what we are seeing and
this might be, This might take some time to sink in.
(31:40):
We are increasingly operating now in a multi polar world
where US hegemony isn't it isn't absolute, and in fact
is being challenged in very direct ways. The Russians are
holding Britney Grinder for nine years. I know they'd say, oh,
this is under their laws, please okay. In Russia, you
(32:02):
know the right you know, you know the right guy
in a tracksuit with a gold chain on. You know
you are if you're friends with cousin Jory and he's
connected to the Kremlin. You're good to go. You're not.
You're not serving a minute in prison even if you're
you know, if you whack somebody, Okay, so I have her.
Some conservatives start to say, well, if you do the crime,
you do the time. Let's let's all keep perspective on this.
(32:26):
A lot of things in Russia they let you go
for this is there's politics coming in into play here.
I mean, you know, nine years for a for a
vape pen with weed is extreme, all right, we all
know it's extreme. If the Russians, you know, if they'd
given her six months a year, you might say, oh,
I am sympathetic to this. Though in another sense too,
(32:48):
because how many of you have had a moment where
you now I know, I know, but how many of
you who spend time at the range or who either
carry edge weapons for defense or just people that train
with edge weapons. You're at the airport and your bags
going through the machine and you go, I didn't I didn't,
(33:08):
you know, leave a magazine that was from my range bag, right,
I mean, you know, just that kind of thing can happen.
If you look at the TSA statistics, people people end
up with like you know, oh yeah, I had a
battle axe in my baggage. I forgot about it. I mean,
you know, people of crazy stuff and try to bring
emotional support peacocks on the plane. That actually happened. That
(33:31):
was the beginning of the end. I think for the
emotional support animal charade that some people were doing. You know, oh,
here's my you know, emotional support pigmy hippopotamus. It's like, well,
first of all, have you ever seen the pigmy hippo
at the DC Zoo, one of my favorite amazing, amazing,
See this is what happens startin thing? Well could I
Apparently they're you know, endangered or threatened species, so having
(33:54):
one as a pet would probably not fly. But they
are very cute. But back to the airport situation, I
think it's easy for it's easy for people lose sight
of how much this is now in the realm of
the great game international statesmanship and intrigue between Vladimir Putin
(34:15):
and Joe Biden. And I do firmly believe that if
Donald Trump were in charge, Putin would have a different
feeling about this. I think as much as Putin thought
of Trump, as I know the media was saying, oh,
Putin Trump love each other. They have a romance, and
that's all crap. I do think that Putin, as a
bad guy, had a respect for Donald Trump that he
(34:38):
simply does not have for Joe Biden. I think he
thinks Joe Biden is an income poop and should be,
you know, breaking up breadcrumbs to feed to the pigeons somewhere.
I mean, I think that they really don't. I think
that Putin has no respect at all for Joe Biden,
and that stuff matters. In Russia, a phone call from
Vladimir Putin releases Brittany Griner same day. It's all it
(35:01):
takes people. You know, in this country, there's some process,
right although there's obviously the pardon power from the present.
But even for the pardon power, there's supposed to be.
Trump did pardon one or two people with a tweet,
but usually there's some process and it goes through White
House Council. In Russia, it's just let her out, and
Putin could do that with a phone call. We all
know that. So it is different, and I think it's
(35:23):
a It's a reminder for so many Democrats who are
fed a diet of delusion by the media. Around all
things Russia and Trump. That we are less safe when
we have a commander in chief who does not seem
with it, who is not formidable, does not have vision,
and is not respected. We just are We are less
(35:45):
safe as a people all of the world, every country
you're going to, there are is far less concerned now
from opposition regimes like Russia and China, far less concern
about getting a call from a Joe Biden State Department
official than there would have been from the Trump White House.
I think we all know that. I think even the
Libs know that. Britney Griner in her letter seemed to
(36:08):
express that and that disappointment in the Biden administration at
this point. So you know, we do need to remember
that Americans are our people and we want them back.
We want them not to be used as political pawns
in this way abroad and serving some really draconian sentence.
So hopefully Biden brings Paul whalenback, Hopefully Biden brings Britney
(36:32):
Grinder back. But China and Russia are feeling a whole
lot more free to throw their weight around at our
expense as a nation and at the perception of American
prestige and power than they have in years. And I
think we all know why what have you done for
yourself this year to protect the value of your savings
(36:52):
account given the crazy markets and all the inflation we're seeing.
I mean, inflation was up more than nine percent this year,
So the dollars you've saved aren't now worth that much less.
If you leave all of your savings in cash, that's
not a good plan. If you invest in the stock market,
you can see some real turbulence and take some serious
losses crypto, I mean, what a roll of the dice
that is. Yes, in real estate, you gotta ask yourself,

Got word in from our main man, Clay, co host
(38:22):
of this phenomenal program. He is having a great time.
He's on the golf course with one of his boys
and he says he is, you know, big Hit or
the Llama. He's doing very well and enjoying himself. And yeah,
I'll be back with us on Monday. Biggest box office bombs.
Fun topic of conversation, especially right now giving what we
(38:46):
have just seen here with this Batman movie. In case
you were wondering and we got to find a way
to see this thing, I mean, somebody has to find
the means to get this into the public domain so
that we will be able to watch this Batman movie.
(39:09):
They spent ninety million dollars on a bat Girl film,
ninety million dollars that they just bailed on entirely. Think
about this, that's a lot of money, right, I mean,
I think we could all agree that's that's a lot
of cash to lay out for something and there's nothing
(39:31):
coming out of it. Morner Brothers executives have said, Well,
what they're saying is I am proud of the love
of hard work and intention of all of our incredible
cast and career. YadA, YadA, YadA. Yeah, this thing was
a stinker, obviously, Man, I wish I could see this.
It was going to be the first ever female Latina
(39:54):
big budget superhero film, I think is what they were,
or maybe just the first female Latina bat Batman, bat Girl,
bat person. As the case, maybe this was gonna be
the first time that they had done this. So as
we keep talking about, as we keep telling you, there
(40:14):
is this wokeness, There is this wokeness desire that pushes
a lot of the decision making for things like this,
what gets green led as a project and that it's
not just about the bottom line, folks. There are there's
ideology behind this, but there's also fear if you're a
Warner Brothers executive, if you're a Netflix or Amazon Prime,
(40:37):
or if you're an executive at any of these places
that are green lighting massive creative projects, and you are
insufficiently woke as in pushing the transagenda, as in dramatically
increasing visual diversity on the screen of you know, actors
(40:59):
who are actors from the BIPOC community. So you need
the BIPOC community, you need the lgbtq I A plus
community to be dramatically represented, overrepresented in your projects, or
else you get fired. And I'll tell you a lot
of these things, a lot of these media jobs people have,
(41:21):
especially on the executive side. Man, you get all this
great pay. It's a hard job to get. It's a
great job to have millions of dollars stock options. You're important,
you're powerful. People suck up to you all the time.
They don't want to lose those jobs. So there's the
people that want to do it because they really believe
in it, and then there are the people that go
along with it or that push it because you know,
(41:43):
they just want to keep the house in Malibu and
the Hampton's and the ski place and Aspen and you know,
all that stuff, right, So that's how you get to
a I mean, I can't review it because they're just
deep sixing. They're just they're they're dropping the original of
this film in the bottom of Davy Jones's locker right there.
(42:04):
They're gonna take it out in the ocean and just
drop the tapes, so to speak. They were gonna act
like this never happened. That is amazing. This is the
biggest swinging a miss on a movie entirely miss right.
It's not just a box office bombs, or when they
spend a lot of money and they and they lose
a ton of money, that's a box office bomb. This
(42:24):
is something else. This is more like a box office
reactor meltdown. It's like never even never even got out
to be deployed. This is something else. So I wish
I could see it. And I'm sure at some point
someone's gonna find a way to get this thing out.
They got this movie, this Batgirl movie out there so
(42:45):
that we can all watch and check it out. But
I was looking at this now, this is just there's
different ways that calculate this. This is off of just
the Wikipedia list. Now, Wikipedia has got a lot of politicization,
and you can't trust everything in Wikipedia. I think on
this on box office bombs is probably pretty straightforward. But
this was the first list that came up, and I
(43:06):
was just looking to see some of these. I gotta
tell you, I was pretty bummed that on this list
you have The Thirteenth Warrior with Antonio Banderis, which is
I believe loosely based on Eaters of the Dead by
Michael Crichton. I could be wrong on that one, but
I saw The Thirteenth Warrior. It's not good, don't get
(43:28):
me wrong, but it's not that bad as a movie
from nineteen ninety nine. Antonio Banderis is also playing an
Arab guy, which I feel like there's less of that
these days. I remember I was I'm being serious. In
high school, we had a film study module that wasn't
really a full course, so I think they called it
a module or something like that, so it was like
(43:49):
a half we'd have once a week for an hour
or something. We had a film course and we saw
Rambo First Blood Part two and the professor pointed out
that the a large number this is what he told us,
at least the film professor, A large number of the
extras in that movie, supposedly in Vietnam were of the
(44:11):
Latin X community, so they were miscasting people, which now
you're not you're not allowed. You know, you won't get
away with that the same way that it used to
be considered. Okay, remember the early days of theaters there.
Everything has changed so much. Let me see forty seven Ronin.
Never saw that one. That movie, Thirteenth Warrior lost close
(44:34):
to one hundred one hundred million dollars adjusted for inflation
is one hundred million dollars loss. So this Batgirl ninety
million dollars loss is one of the biggest film losses
of all time. And remember never even got released, right,
so it grossed. It's getting a zero gross and a
ninety million dollar budget. Forty seven Ronin. I don't did
any of you guys? I didn't even know what that
(44:55):
did you? Any of you see that or no other? No?
Ronin is a good Yeah, Ronan is a good movie.
You've heard of it? Okay, Rohan's a good movie. I
think there's is it twenty nine assassins? Mike? Would you
check from me a producer? Ali, there's a movie like
nineteen Assassins or twenty nine Assassins. It's a ninja movie,
Samurai sort of ninja movie that is subtitled I'm gonna
(45:18):
tell you right now, what's it called. Thirteen is right.
So there's the Thirteenth Warrior, which is terrible. I mean,
I kind of I look comin Antonio Banderis fans. I'm
a little bit shaky on how much, but it's not
a good movie. Thirteen Assassins is awesome. Thirteen Assassins is
(45:40):
like is like in seven Samurai category of phenomenal film telling.
Your producer, Mike added to the list. I mean, first
The Last Kingdom on Netflix, but then check out thirteen
assassin other ones on here. The Adventures of Pluto Nash.
This is two thousand and two that lost, what's the
that lost? One hundred? Oh these aren't in order of
(46:01):
the biggest laws, so thirteen oh no, they they kind
of are inventors of Pluto Nash with that had Eddie Murphy, Right, Yeah,
that's one of those movies where you saw the trailer.
I saw the trailer for the movie Theater. I was like,
that looks like the worst movie ever made, And I
was right, that's up there. Send us in by the

(46:23):
you can send us direct emails. We'll see it. What
is for you the worst box office bomb of all time?
Now that's not the worst movie of all time, that's
a whole other conversation. But the worst box office bomb
meaning a movie that sucked and lost so much money
that you consider it the biggest bomb ever. I mean
there's a lot, a lot on this list. Battleship Believe
(46:47):
it or Not is on here, which I know some
people kind of like I thought the movie. I was like, wait,
there's just aliens, no explanation, and now the battleships are
it's it's almost though so bad, it's good and so
bad it's good territory. G Oh wow, Julie lost one
hundred and six million dollars when adjusted for inflation. That
it's hard to make a movie that has basically no
(47:09):
special effects and lose that much money. The only movie
this is always I always thought this was interesting. Cutthroat
Island Still Goes Down, which had what's that guy's name?
I can't remember, isn't it yeah? Had Gina Davis correct?
Cutthroat Island is the only movie still to this day
in history that has the has the special distinction of
(47:33):
causing the actual shutdown of the entire studio. Like it
was so bad that not only did it bomb, but
it put a big hole in the middle of the ship,
and the whole pirate ship went down with it. The
whole studio that made that movie was gone afterwards. Well,
there's a lot, there's a lot on this lad I'm
trying to think of some of the ones that I've
(47:53):
seen or that are It is incredible how many movies
they've made that have lost one hundred million dollars. It
does give you a sense ishtar. Now that's kicking at
old school, but some of you remember, this is nineteen
eighty seven and it lost. It lost, adjusted for inflation,
one hundred million dollars. An adventure comedy produced by Warren
(48:16):
Beatty co star Dustin Hoffman, a duo of untalented songwriters
who traveled to a booking in Morocco. One of the
worst movies of all time in terms of loss. Wow,
there's some really some amazingents on here. So anyway, this
goes right at the top, though, I mean, this is
among the biggest losses of all time. Moral of the story,
(48:36):
my friends, wokeness. It doesn't pay, It really doesn't. Just
give it. On a long enough timeline, the wokeness will
get you. We've got a fair number of people listening
to us across the country that make their living as farmers,
few jobs, few careers, few lifestyles, or as rewarding and
at the same time as difficult as being a farmer
these days, between the weather and this conversation about fertilizer shortages,
(49:00):
it's all going to influence the amount of food coming
from farms in America, and it may seriously affect harvests
in the future. They will likely be a lot smaller
because of these fertilizers shortages. Is also going to be
a lot more expensive. That's why you need to go
