Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome to today's edition of The Clay Travis and Buck
Sexton Show podcast. Thursday. Everybody, it's time for the Clay
Travis and Buck Sexton Show. Our buddy Clay giving us
the updates from Italy, having a great time on vacation
with the family, to be back with us next week.
So you're rocking out with me today tomorrow solo, and
(00:21):
we have oh so much to discuss. I'm excited about it.
Some of it not particularly good news, but it's news
stuff you need to know. And then there's a whole
lot of politics, national security analysis that we will be
getting into, some wokeness. Much much to discuss here, all right,
(00:41):
let's start with where we're heading. First, Republic Bank shares
plunge thirty five percent today, as Goldman Sachs, the massive
investment bank, perhaps the most powerful investment bank in the world,
says a recession warning should be flashing for everybody right now. Yeah,
(01:02):
not a shock. That was something that I wanted to
just bring to your attention because the banks you got yelling,
You got people going out there saying just don't panic.
You gotta keep your composure. And I don't know how
many of these banks got on the wrong side of
the interest rate issue and got into either mortgages that
(01:26):
were that they bought as investments or even treasury bonds.
Will be looking at that, my friends. You also have
Rhonda Santis announcing that we in the state of Florida
are going to be enacting constitutional carry points on the board.
My friends, this is really what you're going to see
(01:47):
playing out in this Republican primary. Rhonda Santis, assuming he runs,
and we are all assuming at this point that he's
going to run, is going to be the I get
stuff done that I say I'm going to get done
and it benefits you, candidate. You can evaluate that as
you will, but he's making a pretty strong case for
it down here in the state of Florida, that's for sure.
(02:10):
Montana's lieutenant governor on sex changes for minors said, well, basically,
when the kids tell you what they want, you have
to listen to them to be a good parent. You'll
hear that sound bite a little bit later. I am
not yet a parent, but I do think it's pretty
clear from all the good parents that I know that
(02:31):
doing whatever your kid says is not a good idea,
and affirming whatever they tell you is actually not how
you parent. Will Biden, by the way, is demanding that
TikTok be sold or will be banned. So that is
I'm sorry, did I said Montana? I meant Minnesota? Whoops?
The lieutenant governor of Minnesota. Right there we go. And
(02:55):
also we have a sunny Houston here telling us that
she hasn't been to a grocery store in three years
because of COVID. Oh and a guy on a plane,
a wealthy fellow on a plane, a tech tycoon, offered
a woman one hundred thousand dollars a hundred thousand dollars
(03:19):
to just take her mask off for the duration of
the flight. This has gone viral. Not all heroes wear capes.
They certainly don't wear masks. This guy is pretty funny.
We'll talk about that and just a little bit. I
wanted to start, though, with an update on the drone
situation from yesterday. It is remarkable how quickly. First first,
(03:43):
let me tell you what the news is of this,
and then we can get into a bit more of
the why does this matter? Where is this taking all
of us? So you had the Secretary of Defense, Lloyd Austin,
while we were on Area yesterday and I brought you
a little bit of the commentary that or the statement
that he made, and also Chairman Milly talking about what
(04:04):
happened with this drone. It turns out our our pilot
caller yesterday we had a fighter pilot call in and say,
you know, you probably could a drone is quite fragile
and you probably could clip it with a Russian sequoy
fighter aircraft and bring it down. It looks like that
is as of now at least what happened. There's actually
(04:27):
video of it. It's pretty remarkable. It makes sense though, Right,
there's a drone, so the drone has surveillance cameras on
the whole point of the drone is to see stuff
and pick up measurements. Right, it's a surveillance drone. So
there's video and the plane basically looks like it slams
right into or near enough the drone that it brought
it down. So that's that's the update on it. It
(04:51):
was interesting though, because yesterday you had you had Joint
Chiefs Chairman Mark Millie, when he was asked about whether
this downing of the drone was an active war, he
did not want to give any definitive statement on a
play clip eit. I can tell you with certainty though,
that we have absolute evidence of the contact to step succepter,
(05:14):
and it's very aggressive. You've heard about the dumping of
the fuel and everything else. We have video evidence of
all that. So um, there's there's no question that that
part of its intentional as far as an active war goes.
I'm not gonna I'm not gonna go there. Incidents happen,
and clearly we do not seek armed conflict with Russia,
and I believe that at this point we should investigate
this incident and move on from there. I thought that
(05:36):
was interesting. He says he's not going to go there,
and then he kind of goes there, and he's like,
I don't I'm not going to get into this. Look,
we are in a situation where the I want to
I want to step back from just this moment to
remind everybody how we got here in the first place.
Twenty sixteen, the entire Democrat apparatus is completely convinced that
(06:03):
Hillary Clinton has about a one hundred percent chance of
becoming the next president of the United States. As we know,
that did not happen, and they came up with this crazy,
and it really was crazy story about Trump working with Russia,
and you know, the Russians maybe they hacked voting machines,
or the Russians, you know, engaged in some disinformation campaign,
(06:25):
They spent some money on Facebook, there were some bots
whatever that Russia helped Trump steal the election. And so
then it became mandatory for Democrats who wanted to be
in good standing to view all things Russia as the
most monstrous and horrible of any country in the world.
You know, if you had asked a Democrat who had
(06:48):
voted for Hillary Clinton, who was going on MSNBC or whatever.
First of all, they clearly thought it was a bigger
threat than China, which is which is crazy. But if
you had even said, you know, who's a bigger threat
to international stability Russia or North Korea? What have been Russia? Right?
So they created a mass hysteria within the Democrat Party
about Russia, and that has dramatically impacted the relationship and
(07:16):
the perception of the relationship that certainly Democrats and a
lot of Republicans have about the US and Russia and
pushed it in in an irrationally negative direction. And so
we no longer have the kind of relationship with Russia
where yeah, of course Putin's a thug. All this stuff
is true. A lot she is of the she meaning
Ji Jinping is a thug. I mean a lot of
(07:39):
a lot of these governments that we have to do.
What do we think of the Saudi regime? Not exactly
democratically elected, is it right? There are plenty of authoritarians
that we have to do business with, that we have
to work with, and we do so because it is
ultimately in the interests of the American people, because that
is what we care about. I don't know you can
(08:00):
even say it is an America first perspective. Isn't it
fascinating that Donald Trump was able to turn around the
phrase America first was a was a pejorative. You know,
it was America first. You take it all the way
back and people will talk about Charles Lindbergh and but
even to use the phrase America first isolationist and worse
(08:25):
than that isolationists and worse. But hold on, that's the
most succinct way to put the mentality that we should
have in this country when we're looking at American foreign
politic and interest, which is what is to the benefit
of the American people. That's step one. Sure, there are
other considerations. We want to be, you know, a kind
and just and good people, and good stewards of the environment,
(08:47):
and good neighbors to the rest of the world. All that, yes,
of course, but priority number one. But what's fascinating is
that Democrats, in part because of the Russia collusion, delusion
and their irrational hatred of Russia, they no longer can
see the ups and downs of this. It's just Russia
(09:10):
is the bad guy. We have to do anything we
can to crush Putin and the Kremlin, and that is
our first priority. And you sit there, you say, well,
hold on a second, how did we get to that point.
I keep talking to conservatives about this issue, including a
lot of veterans, and one thing that we all seem
to agree on is of the Ukrainian people. They were invaded.
(09:34):
It's wrong. What Russia has done is awful. We're rooting
for Ukraine to be able to fight, but we also
want to at least be able to have a conversation
about one how much of this is supposed to be
US funded and backed. Hey, we might be heading into
a recession, folks, Not just according to me, According to Goldman,
Sachs and pretty much everybody who's paying attention, and you
(09:57):
may be struggling to pay your bills, Biden wants to
raise your taxes. We all know this. Oh, it'll just
be for the fat cats. When has that ever been true.
It's never true. Biden wants to make it so that
you have less money to spend because he knows how
to spend your money better, and that includes spending one
hundred billion dollars a year on the war in Ukraine.
(10:17):
You might start to think, hold on a second, is
that really in the primary interest? Well, what matters more
to the American people that you can pay your rent
or that we are sending enough javelin missiles to Ukraine.
I think that's a fair conversation. Now people say, oh,
we can walk and chew gum at the same time.
One hundred billion dollars a lot of money. Actually, one
(10:39):
hundred billion dollars matters even in US budgetary terms a year.
Keep in mind, there is no chance of this conflict
ending anytime soon. The people who keep saying Russia is
almost defeated have said it every three months, maybe every
two months, since the beginning of this war basically ever
since Russia didn't take Kiev or Kiev as we're now
(11:00):
all supposed to call it. So they've been wrong over
and over again. Russia is not about to be exhausted
or defeated. That is a fantasy. So can we have
a fourth, right and honest discussion about what are really
the interest that we have and how far are we
willing to go? Well, the answers no. They want you
just like we saw with COVID and so many other things.
(11:20):
They want to silence you. They want to shut you down.
You're a Russian stooge. You're a Russian stooge if you
question the extent that American tax dollars should go to
fund of war thousands of miles away. And when they
are asked how this is in the American interest, you
have Lloyd also, the Secretary Defense, saying something that's very
(11:43):
similar to what we've heard from others Biden, Kamala Harris.
It's this very vague stuff that sounds like what you'd
hear from somebody in a high school model UN conference
about the international rules based order Play seven in terms
of the importance of Ukraine. First of all, we've seen
Bi part of support for providing security assistance to Ukraine
(12:03):
throughout up to this point. I expect that we will
continue to see that going forward. We've heard some senior
leaders on both sides of the fence say that this
is about the rules based international order. It's about one
country's ability to wake up one day and change the
borders of its neighbor and nx its neighbors sovereign territory.
(12:25):
And as we've seen, countries around the world don't think
that's a good idea. This is about the rules based
international order. Okay. Interesting, So when he says that that's
the justification, first of all, the fact that has bipartisan support,
that's not an answer. And I don't care when we're
(12:47):
asking a question when someone saying why why is this?
Every time I ask or I hear someone try to
answer the why is this a key US national security interest?
The response is not compelling. They say, oh, well, they'll
go into NATO countries afterwards, they'll invade Poland afterwards. That
is crazy. Look at the trouble they're having just with
(13:09):
US financial and material backing in Ukraine. So they're not
just gonna take on Poland, They're gonna take on all
of NATO. Next, that is lunacy. But people say it,
People who think they're really smart say it, Oh yeah,
that Poland is next. Okay. But then they say something
about the international rules based order or something that sounds
(13:32):
like it comes from a boilered plate UN conference. And
I sit here and I say, okay, if that's so true,
if we should have done all this, why was it
that under the Obama administration? Under the Obama administration, there
was a fear of sending Javelin anti tech missiles and
Dragon off sniper rifles to the Ukrainian military because it
(13:54):
would have been considered provocative to Russia and contrary to
American interests of Russia had already effectively invaded a part
of eastern Ukraine. After Russia had taken Crimea. How much worse?
I ask you this, how much did it matter to
your life that Crimea became a part of the Russian
(14:14):
Federation years ago? I think we all know the answer
to that. How much did it affect your life, your safety,
your financial security, your future when Eastern Ukraine fell under
the dominion of the Russian Federation in all but official name,
and the fighting continued on for seven years. The answer
(14:35):
is it didn't matter to you. Ah, But now it's
supposed to be all or nothing. You see, no one's
rooting for Russia here. No one is blind to the
realities of the Russian aggression and the thuggishness of Vladimir Putin.
We're trying to look at what, first of all, was
the bipartisan consensus on this, even under the Obama administration.
(14:56):
Interesting the Trump administration, it's got real quiet for a while.
But anyway, under the Obama administration sees crimea and do
all this stuff, okay, And at the end of the
Bush administration, by the way, you can talk about what
happened in South Assetia and Abkhazia and in Georgia effectively
little pieces of that taken off. But now we're supposed
(15:17):
to believe this is a key national security issue for US,
instead of saying, because this is what I offer in response,
we need a negotiated settlement and Ukraine is going to
lose some territory in it. How about that how many
lives could be saved there and how many hundreds of
(15:38):
billions of dollars could be saved of the taxpayer if
we took that approach. Does it feel good? No? Is
it justice? Not really? But saving lives in order to
exchange territory. That is basically the history of all warfare
and humanity, stretching back for quite a long time. Right,
You end wars through negotiation and settlement, and also that
(16:03):
includes an exchange of territory. We can't even talk about
that right now. You know, the world's in turmoil, that's
for sure. The failures in the banking system are teaching
people lessons right now about unforeseen consequences, and the federal
government looks like, well, what are they going to do?
Remember the lines outside supermarkets just three years ago during
COVID they could start again. Yeah, we had to stand
six feet apart. That's stupidity. Put yourself in a position
(16:25):
of being self sufficient and self reliant now, don't wait
for a crisis to hit. That's why we are recommending
stocking up on emergency food. It's just a thing you

(17:08):
every Day, The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show. Welcome
back to The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show. I
can't say that I have left my heart in San Francisco.
I've only been there a couple of times, I think once,
twice twice. Maybe it is a beautiful city. It was
(17:29):
physically geographically a beautiful city. It has some problems though,
it has some mischieves. Right now, you've probably seen the videos,
and it is a Democrat on Clay. It is really
the distillation of lifestyle coastal liberalism in one city, in
one place. In some sense that the purest democrat urban
(17:55):
ecosystem you could find of the lifestyle liberal variety. Right. So,
Nancy Pelosiism reigned supreme supreme in San Francisco, and we
see what's happened. It's gone from being a place where
we many of us think of full house, remember the
show full I grew up watching that show, really enjoyed it.
(18:18):
A watchfull House for many years. And you know, they
had this beautiful house which I think now well, I
don't know what it is now, but at one point
that was like a four million dollar house that they
were living in, you know, Danny Tanner and John Stamos
and Dave Coulier, Coolier whatever they were all living in together. Anyway,
(18:39):
San Francisco was a very safe city, culturally, vibrant, beautiful,
a lot of good things about it, right, a lot
of great things about it, and not anymore. It's unfortunately
gone in a direction where people are leaving as fast
as they reasonably can. The city of San Francisco now
(19:00):
faces a budget deficit of seven hundred and twenty eight
million dollars. That's a big budget. You know, San Francisco's
not that big as a city. That's a big problem.
And the bigger problem, in a sense, isn't just the deficit,
is that there's no sign of this getting better. It
(19:21):
relies largely on property taxes to fund services. You could
play this similar scenario out in a lot of Democrat
run cities across the country. But the downtown offices are
at about a thirty percent vacancy. Twenty nine percent is
the actual data that I have in front of me here,
(19:43):
so almost you know, call it a third of the
downtown office is empty in San Francisco. So they've got
a lot of problems. They've got a lot of issues
right now, and they're still going to keep spending a
whole lot of money, and they don't want to change
their redistributive mechanisms in place. The lifestyle liberalism slash Marxism
(20:11):
is that is the animating ideology of San Francisco. So
I give you all of this background because I think
it makes this even more fascinating and tells you more
about the democrat mindset in the left wing strongholds. I
think San Francisco is, for a city of over a
(20:33):
half a million people, I think it is the most
democrat city in the entire country, with the exception it
might be DC. Now, which think about that. I mean DC,
our our nation's capital, is as a city entirely democrat dominated,
which is why you see things like the recent crime
(20:55):
bill that the City Council passed they think about this.
They have a increase, a massive increase in carjackings in DC,
which is a form of armed robbery that threatened someone's
life for their car. They have not car theft. Carjacking.
You know, get out of the car or I'm gonna
(21:15):
stab you or shoot you. That's what a carjacking is.
The DC City councils like, we're punishing carjackers too harshly.
That's real. That was in their most recent crime bill
that even Joe Biden had to go along with the
Republicans in blockings. He's like, you guys are out of
your minds Okay. In San Francisco, I just told you
they're approaching a billion dollar budget hole for this year
(21:37):
and it's gonna be that's their projection. It's gonna be
worse because why, what business in its right mind, I
don't even care what its politics are, is going to
move into downtown San Francisco right now? What can you
think of one? No, they're all breaking their leases and
getting out of there as soon as they possibly can.
And that's not going to change. Because it wasn't just
(21:58):
about COVID. Obviously, it was at all these other factors
as well. It is with that backdrop that I tell
you that the reparations committee that has been hired by
the City of San Francisco is now advising a five
(22:20):
million dollars a person lumps some payment to every eligible
black resident of San Francisco, a guaranteed income of ninety
seven thousand dollars per year for two hundred and fifty years,
(22:41):
elimination of personal debt and tax burdens, and homes for
one dollar. I am reading that to you. Okay, that
is the actual reporting year. I don't know what the
best part of this is. I mean five million dollars
in a lump sum. That's nice. That that helps a lot, obviously,
(23:06):
like I would love a five million dollar lump sum.
Sign me up for that. The elimination of any personal
debt and any need to pay any taxes, and a
home for a dollar. This is in a city that
is facing the biggest budget crisis in my lifetime. Certainly
(23:27):
they're spending money to have people tell them that the
city residents need to give five million dollars to every
black resident of the City of San Francisco who I'm
trying to find. There's some there's some specifications here you
(23:48):
have to be let me see, by the way, only
about six percent of San Francisco's population is black, so
it's less than fifty thousand residents that Okay. They have
to prove that they migrated to San Francisco between nineteen
forty and nineteen ninety six, prove residency for at least
thirteen years, have claimed to have been black on government
(24:10):
documents for at least ten years, and either be a
descendant of someone enslaved before eighteen sixty five, or this
was really interesting too, a direct descendant of someone jailed
in the failed War on Drugs. So my understanding here,
(24:32):
Let's say your family migrated from Africa in like the
nineteen eighties and somewhat in your you know, and you
have a father who went to prison for I don't know,
drug trafficking of some kind. That means that you would
qualify under this under these provisions. So I'm just I'm
(24:54):
just here to say, and I want to be very
clear on this. I think would Sanford Cisco's Reparations committee
is offering up is really racist. It is not nearly
enough money, five million dollars a person. It should be
five hundred million dollars a person. It should be eleven. No,
(25:20):
So clearly we should go bankrupt, not just San Francisco,
which is going to head toward bankruptcy if it does
anything even approaching this, and it already is heading in
that direction without any of this, we should be willing
to go bankrupt designation in order to do this, right,
I mean, isn't that the mentality I would want to
ask the members of this reparations committee. And this has
been passed by the San Francisco Board of Supervisors. By
(25:42):
the way, they have embraced all of these recommendations, so
it has gone beyond the committee paid to study reparations
to the San Francisco Board of Supervisors. And they're the
ones who were saying, you know, we're gonna have to
look at this officially in June in terms of what
they adopt. Look, they're obviously not gonna do all I mean,
(26:03):
I shouldn't say obviously, but they're not going to do
all of this. But at some level, I do think
it is a what would call the Motte and Bailey argument.
It's making outrageous, make all these outrageous claims, so that
then when the council gathers together and they say, you know,
we're gonna give We're gonna give two hundred thousand dollars
(26:24):
to every black resident. Okay, how about that. There might
be this moment of oh, well that's I mean, it's
not five million dollars, so that seems reasonable in comparison. Right,
I's two hundred thousand dollars a person. City can't afford
that either, but maybe that's somewhat doable. You see how
that You see how that works as a classic bad
faith argumentation tactic that people use or people people use
(26:47):
it in negotiations to the negotiations. You'll generally it's a
little different. There's another tactic called anchoring. Right, So if
I if I'm gonna buy a watch from somebody, I
can say to them and I've I've you know, bought
and sold watches on the on the fly before. It's
an interesting process. In New York. I could say to them, Hey,
(27:07):
that's a really nice, you know, three thousand dollars watch.
Well they want you know, they want six for it,
and I just said it's a nice three thousand dollars watch.
I have anchored them, Like that's the purpose of that
a negotiating those of you who are in sales, You
guys and gals know all this backwards and forwards. But
modern Bailey argumentation is a little bit difference when you
take this a much more expansive position in order to
(27:29):
actually advance and protect a by comparison reasonable position. Right.
So this is why I say, oh, we should give
five million dollars per black resident in reparations, and the
you know ninety what was it, ninety something thousand dollars
a year for two hundred and fifty years. I don't
even you know, human beings really only lived to one hundred.
(27:50):
So there's a lot of stuff. But the point being,
after all that, then the committee can maybe say, all right,
so we're just gonna do maybe we'll do a universal
basic income for every black resident of you know, ten
thousand dollars a month. Right. Oh wait a second, that
sounds so reasonable in comparison. So I wouldn't dismiss all
of this as just bluster from the San Francisco Council
(28:12):
and and this Reparations committee. I think there's the possibility
that they do try something here. But I'm just I'm
just gonna keep pointing out five million dollars a resident.
That's those are those are low numbers. We need to
get those We need to get those numbers up. I'm
a fifty million San Francisco. Why don't you take this
problem seriously? Fifty million dollars per black resident sounds far
(28:37):
more social justice worthy. I think fifty million. It should
be the number, right, That's that's the way we should go.
It's just as crazy as their number, folks. So what
difference does it make? You know what I mean? And
and the fact that in cities where there are real problems,
and this is the the honest to God part of
the whole thing that drives me crazy, there are real
(28:59):
things that can be done for all of the residents,
the black residents and all of the residents of San Francisco,
that would help clean up those streets, keep them safer,
enforce the law, make it a place people want to live,
make it a place where people can go to good schools.
You know, there's a lot of stuff that could be
done that's real. No. Instead, because you know, liberalism for
(29:22):
so many in this country is their religion replacement. You know,
there's no real attachment to God or anything beyond themselves.
It's a religion of narcissism and virtue signaling. Right, Oh,
it's all about me and feeling good about my positions.
So for the San Francisco residents and the area residents
who have so much money, and although I don't know
SVB banks, some of them are probably lost some money.
(29:44):
This is an opportunity to feel good about themselves without
actually doing any good. And this is something you see
continuously with Democrats in places like San Francisco and you know,
like Los Angeles, New York City, DC, Chicago, you name it.
They want to do things that make them feel good
about themselves, that do no actual good and in fact
(30:06):
will do harm to other people, and they don't care.
And they don't care because it is a credo of
narcissism and self advancement that they espouse and pretend that
it's about other people, pretend that it's about historic injustice,
social injustice, whatever it is that they're saying today. You know,

My Pillow two point zero Now. They're here to shed
(31:33):
light on the truth every day. Clay Travis and Buck Sexton.
Some states have taken action to end the practice of
transgender surgery for miners adolescents, teenagers some cases, even pre
(31:53):
adolescents some states Oklahoma, for example, we had Governor Kevin
Stitt on the show to talk about it. Florida, Tennessee,
that they're taking actions to say, you're just not going
to do this under the guise of medicine. It is
ideology masquerading as medicine. Everybody who sits around and thinks
(32:15):
about it and is in brainwash knows that. Or you
can think that all of a sudden there's been a
three thousand percent rise in transgender kids, because that's actually
just been reality for all of human history until now,
and not that adults have decided because of the emptiness
of their own lives and their own susceptibility to brainwashing
(32:38):
by the left wing apparatus in this country, that adults
are pushing this belief on children because it is fashionable.
It is fashionable, not just in their minds for the children,
but actually for the adults themselves. Oh look at me,
I'm so progressive. By the way, how many you know,
how many like right wing dads who go to church
(33:02):
every Sunday and have callouses on their hands from their
job or or you know, their their weekend activities end
up having a you know, a seven year old that
they decide is you know, not actually a boy but
a girl. And then how many It's such a coincidence,
isn't it? Remember coincidences? The Wohan Institute of Virology, COVID
(33:24):
pops up right next to it. It's a big world.
Oh that's a coincidence. Sure, it is another coincidence. Blue haired,
nose ringed left wing activist shrieking on TikTok about you
know how Trump is hitler and how climate change is
going to destroy the planet happens to seem to be
the profile of parent of child who is actually transgender.
(33:47):
How is that? What a coincidence? Hmm? I wonder why
is it that the obvious left wing loon tends to
be much more lightly to be the parent of a
transgender child? That's so it's so interesting, isn't it certainly
much more likely to be the parent of a transgender
(34:08):
child who is being pushed toward surgery, puberty blockers, any
of the rest of it. But then this brings me
to other states. We're seeing this now states. One thing
that COVID showed us was how important your state government
actually is, How tyrannical and idiotic it can be, or
(34:30):
how sane and rational and of course then prosperous as
a result of those decisions. It can be, you know,
see Florida, Texas, Tennessee and some others. But the state
of Minnesota, the state of Minnesota now has become, thanks
to its Democrat governor Waltz, a transgender surgery for youth
(34:57):
haven or a sank shoary state for transgender surgeries and
puberty blockers. They keep calling they keep calling it gender
affirming care. Why don't they call it gender transitioning care.
You ever thought about that. That's what it used to
be called. Why did they change it? Because they want
(35:19):
you to use language that concedes the argument before the
argument is even made. They want you to say, effectively,
you're right before you've even gotten into what they're right about.
You're affirming the gender with this care. Wait, no, you're
changing a gender. Where Notice even in that simple, that
(35:42):
simple lie, that straightforward reality, you can see what's really
going on here. So Wall sign this executive order. And
even when I read the when I read the way
the media talks about it's always you know, oh, but
these things are the gender firming care, which is generally
(36:04):
puberty blockers and hormone therapy and it's mostly or partially reversible,
and like maybe sometimes they're surgery, but you know, like
let's not talk about that. I mean, we want to
make sure the people do that. Kids, little kids, We
want to make sure. The Democrats want to be certain
in Minnesota that a fourteen year old girl when she
(36:24):
enters puberty can have a double mostectomy. They want to
be certain of that, but they also want to downplay
the realities of what happens, you know, of what the
long term implications of this are and if you want
(36:45):
to get into the mindset here. So Minnesota as a state,
you know, I used to I used to go camping
in Minnesota with my dad over the summers in the
Boundary waters. So those who are Minnesota folks or maybe
some others who've traveled at her you know, it's beautiful.
Some people in Minnesota were so nice, and I think
that that holds up. And I just don't know how
(37:06):
it's been turned into such a left wing blue Democrat
looney bin, but it is. It is. Here you have
the Lieutenant Governor of Minnesota, Peggy Flanagan, who is a
who's a Native American, which you'll hear about a lot
because that's you know, identity politics super important. What does
(37:30):
she stand for? What are her leadership capabilities? What does
she No? No, no, let's just first all celebrate. We're
told that you have the first Native American woman at
this level of politics in the state of Minnesota. Or
maybe it's I think she actually might be the second,
but whatever. But she's a community activist. She's very left
wing in her thoughts and beliefs. And I want you
(37:51):
to hear, especially for the parents out there, what is now.
These are people with a lot of power, governor's, lieutenant governors.
They're signing legislation that is going to By the way,
this is going to be turned against parents who are
not crazy at some point because what you're going to
have is a doctor. Just wait, remember that I've said
this to you. You will have a case at the
(38:12):
national level. It will become a big issue where you
have the system activist, therapist, some you know doctor who
seems like a loon but has an MD who's like, yeah,
we need to do gender transitions for the fourteen year olds.
And then a parent who steps in and says, I
don't want this for my child, and the system says,
(38:32):
if you don't allow this, it's child abuse. To not
allow the general mutilation of your child, this child abuse.
Just give it time. This will happen. If it hasn't,
it might have already happened in the state. I just
haven't seen it or can't remember it right now, but
that will happen. Here is Lieutenant Governor of Minnesota, Flanagan,
on some parenting advice that I think all the parents
in this audience. Oh boy, here you go. Play clip three.
(38:56):
Let's be clear. This is life affirming and life saving healthcare.
When our children tell us who they are, it is
our job as grown ups to listen and to believe them.
That's what it means to be a good parent. Oh
(39:18):
there you go. That's what it means to be a
good parent. So I remember they talk about trans babies
the left. Don't let them. Don't let them try to
pretend that they talk about trans babies. Men can get periods,
men can get pregnant, there are transgender babies. I mean,
they've gone all out with all this stuff now, and
now the fight is should we actually allow these quack
(39:40):
doctors these these lunatic medical practitioners to like remove the
breasts of a healthy teenage girl because she's decided she's
a man before she's eighteen. I'm not even talking about
adults are not even a part of this conversation right now,
putting that aside entirely. But for children, Oh, they say
it's reversible. Really, Oh yeah, I'm sure puberty, puberty blocking
(40:02):
drugs block your your your gender transition for a few years,
with the same drugs in some cases that they actually
give to um, you know, sex offenders to sterilize them.
It's sterilizing drug block block someone's puberty and then tell
them they're just going to turn it back on everything
we find in normal That's crazy, it's not true the
(40:24):
long term effects of this. They they're lying to you,
but the same way they lied about COVID and everything else.
They're lying to you about what the data really says.
But I thought this was fascinating. So if a child,
if you're six year old, comes up to you and says,
on one day, I'm a stegasaurus, which I'm sure some
(40:45):
of you the parents out there, would say, yeah, my
kids have said some weird stuff. When they're, you know,
five six years old, I'm a stegasaur. I identify with triceratops.
I feel like I'm a triceratops. You are supposed to
say to that, well, I don't know what would what
would Lieutenant Governor Flanagan want you to say? I assume
it would be no, no, no, you're not actually an
extinct dinosaur species. That would be really hard. But at
(41:07):
the same child, at the same age, were to say,
I'm I want to be called a girl's name and
have long hair and dress in princess costumes and I'm
a girl. Oh, it's time to have all their classmates
and the school and everybody treat them like a girl.
And forget about the fact that so much of this
is drawn by kids being one confused, two impressionable, three
wanting attention. Minnesota a state that is now standing up
(41:35):
and saying, come to us if you want gender transition
surgery for kids. It's a shame what they've done to
that state. All right, my friends, there are a few
greater feelings than total exhilaration. A lot of times that
comes after a big triumph for an athletic competition, but
even without exercise. Just feeling great should be an everyday
sensation that you have. Our friends at Chalk can help

(43:00):
Get to know the guys outside the issues with a
new podcast bided on the iHeart app or wherever you
get your podcasts. I know that Rhonda Santists weighed in
recently with his foreign policy view of the situation in Ukraine.
I thought it was nuanced, sensible and showed a grasp
(43:23):
of all the all the different things to consider, you know,
equities in DC speak, right, we call everything equities now um.
But Kamala Harris disagrees with the approach of Rhonda Santists,
and I think just to remind everybody of the kinds
(43:45):
of people who were in charge. Remember, Joe Biden was
brought onto the Obama ticket to be the brilliant mind
of foreign policy. Let that sink in for a second
true story. Joe Biden was the foreign po see guy
in the oh. And of course that mattered too because
when he was vice president, what was part of his
(44:07):
portfolio and the Obama administration oh Ukraine, which is why
there's that video of him saying that he demanded the
firing of a special prosecutor in Ukraine or else a
billion dollars loan guarantee. Yeah, that Joe Biden just coincidentally
the same country that was paying his crack addict Boa
(44:28):
and tighty Whitey's clad son eighty thousand dollars a month. Right,
Just that is a cod the same way that the
Wuhan Institute of Virology being right next to the first
place that the COVID virus pops up. It's a coincidence,
just like the only country that Joe Biden seemed so
(44:50):
very fixated on at that phase of the Obama presidency
that was in his portfolio happened to be paying happened
to be paying his son eighty thousand dollars to do nothing. Okay, right,
coincidence theorists, It's fun, isn't it. But anyway, Joe Biden
is the was the foreign policy guy. Kamala Harris is
now Joe Biden's vice president. I think it is fair
(45:12):
to say that Kamala Harris, even if she just stays
in this vice presidential role based on health issues, if
Joe Biden were to get into a second term, there's
a very real chance that Kamala would be a vice
president who would have to take the helm. We all
know that's just you know, that's just the age reality
of where Biden is in life. We all know that.
(45:33):
You know, maybe he just decides he doesn't have the
energy anymore, and he really doesn't. He finally admits what
the reality is. Steps down, Kamala takes over. Okay, here
she is weighing in on desantis'es Ukraine War thoughts play
for so as Vice president, I have now met with
over a hundred world leaders, presidents, prime ministers, chancellors, and kings.
(45:55):
And when you have had the experience of meeting and
understand standing the significance again of international rules and norms,
and the importance of the United States of America standing
firm and clear about the significance of sovereignty and territorial integrity,
the significance of standing firm against any nation that would
(46:18):
try to take by force. Oh, it's about sovereignty. That
was the part of it that jumped out to me.
We are a country that now has an ongoing invasion
of illegal immigration to the tune of millions a year,
and tens of millions in total inside the country. Already,
(46:40):
and we're being lectured it is a joke to get
into America right now. It is that easy at the
southern border. And we just spoke to Stephen Miller about
this yesterday, who is just he is like a savant
on border issues. He knows more than anyone else you
can think of at the policy level. And we're talking
talking about a wide open border. What could be a
(47:02):
more egregious violation of US sovereignty short of a military
invasion than that. But that is not as important as
what is the status of the Dawn Boss region. This
is what we're the Dawn Boss region, which I honestly
would be very curious to see. Let's let's ask this
question out loud. Could Kamala Harris if you gave a
(47:23):
blank map of Europe with none of the country names listed,
not even could she find the Dawnboss Do you think
she could find Ukraine? Do you think Joe Biden? Could
I leave that? I leave that to your discretion, Biden, Maybe,
because that's where a lot of the family loot came from, right,
But I think it's an open question. Could he find
a Dawnboss region? Probably not, but I think it's interesting
(47:47):
also that Kamala felt the need to do this, this
preamble of when you're really important and you've met with
really important people and you understand all the important rules
about the important stuff in the world, It's like, Okay, yeah,
you're the vice president, you got you gotta do better
(48:07):
than just tell us you've sat in a lot of meetings.
You've got to explain to us the international rules based order. Well,
what is that? What does that even really mean? It's
like people that say, this is a violation of international law, Okay,
who's going to enforce it? Well, as we know, the
Democrats believe we should. You know, we're the ones that
(48:28):
are supposed to as long as there is no critical
US interest involved in a conflict, Democrats get excited about
spending US blood and treasure in this case so far
in Ukraine just treasure. But give it time. We'll see. Anyway,
I thought it was remarkable. And then there's also this
from the actually, you know what, I'll get to the
(48:51):
Sunny Houstin clip. Because first off, there's this guy who
was on a delta flight and because I've often said
this to people, what would it take? What would it
take for the people who are masking alone in cars,
and they exist because I see them still. And there
are a lot of people masking up in California, certainly
(49:13):
in Los Angeles area, San Francisco. I saw it in
LA recently. I'm going back to New York soon spend
some time in my hometown. I'm sure there are going
to be a bunch of people they're masked up too,
including a loan and outside. You ask yourself, what would
it take for them to stop doing this? Like what
(49:33):
has to happen for them to finally say enough is enough?
And you've seen there are some efforts now to normalize
through sciens doing this forever. They're saying, oh, but maybe
it also reduces like normal flu and colds or something.
It's like, come on, guys, come on, let's let's not
But they will, they'll, they'll try something really pathetic. This guy,
Steve Kirsch, he is a tech super millionaire. That guy's
(49:58):
worth two hundred and thirty million dollars, said that he
was sitting next to a woman in first class. I
love this. Who does anyone to get what bet would
you put that? You know who this woman who was
sitting in first class who was masking up between bites.
What odds would you give that she's a Democrat? I mean,
(50:20):
I would I think that you couldn't. Even nobody would
take the other side of the bet. I don't think
there are any odds you could give that she is
that you would actually get money to come in against
you on this right ten to one, one hundred to one.
She clearly is a Biden voter. And he started the
bidding at one hundred dollars to get her to take
off the mask. This guy's worth two hundred and thirty
million dollars, so for him, one hundred k is couch
(50:44):
cushion money. It doesn't matter. And he got all the
way up to one hundred thousand dollars, and she still
wouldn't take the mask off, even though he was explaining
to her. You realize that you're taking and that he
tweeted about this too. You keep bringing the mask down
to eat for you know, to drink, to eat, you know,
for fifteen minutes at a time, twenty minutes at a time.
(51:06):
What do you think you're well? The virus that you
think is in the air whish, By the way, on planes,
you're safer from viruses than you are in almost any
other congregate setting as about you would say, but because
of the hepiphil, trade between bites was so important. That
was always the airline policy. It was never ever wear
a mask the entire time you're on the plane. Even
(51:28):
that wouldn't work, but wear the mask partially in between
bites at different periods on the flight. If you believe
that an aerosolized virus is something that you can't see,
that it's just swirling around in the air. This was
completely insane. She wouldn't She wouldn't take him up on
a hundred. Now, of course, what are the lips saying, Oh,
(51:49):
they didn't think he'd actually pay. Well, you know she
could have. I'm sure the guy's probably got a couple
of grand in cash autumn. Probably could have said, well,
I want you to pull out a venmo at the
end of this, I'll get a witness. I mean, if
someone told me, pull your first of wall, never find
a photo of me with a mask on anywhere, you
won't it. Second of all, you know, I'm not wearing
a mask on a plane, obviously, But you know I
(52:11):
would say, if someone was gonna pay me this kind
of money, I would at least get a witness to
it and say this was a verbal contract and try
to hold them to it. But anyway, it's not worth
the tour. It's not worth it. I would let someone
give me COVID for a hundred grand. I've had it twice,
one hundred grand. Yeah, have a sniffle for three days.
I'm not worried about it. I would let it rip.
But anyway, it's it's pretty amazing that this is where
(52:33):
we are. Oh but Sonny Houston still won't go to
a grocery store because of COVID. She's a millionaire from
sitting on a TV set with people who are just
constantly making the American people more ignorant with their commentary,
and she won't go to a grocery store. She has
other people. She cares so much about COVID that she
(52:55):
has other people who don't have millions of dollars go
do her grocery shopping for her. Because that's how you
show how to stop the virus. You send the poor
people in there to do it for you. You know,
that's that was the whole field. Okay, well we'll get
into this. You've got to hear this. It's coming up
here in just a second. Look, I'm going to the

Welcome to today's edition of The Clay Travis and Buck
Sexton Show podcast. Thursday. Everybody, it's time for the Clay
Travis and Buck Sexton Show. Our buddy Clay giving us
the updates from Italy, having a great time on vacation
with the family, to be back with us next week.
So you're rocking out with me today tomorrow solo, and
(00:21):
we have oh so much to discuss. I'm excited about it.
Some of it not particularly good news, but it's news
stuff you need to know. And then there's a whole
lot of politics, national security analysis that we will be
getting into, some wokeness. Much much to discuss here, all right,
(00:41):
let's start with where we're heading. First, Republic Bank shares
plunge thirty five percent today, as Goldman Sachs, the massive
investment bank, perhaps the most powerful investment bank in the world,
says a recession warning should be flashing for everybody right now. Yeah,
(01:02):
not a shock. That was something that I wanted to
just bring to your attention because the banks you got yelling,
You got people going out there saying just don't panic.
You gotta keep your composure. And I don't know how
many of these banks got on the wrong side of
the interest rate issue and got into either mortgages that
(01:26):
were that they bought as investments or even treasury bonds.
Will be looking at that, my friends. You also have
Rhonda Santis announcing that we in the state of Florida
are going to be enacting constitutional carry points on the board.
My friends, this is really what you're going to see
(01:47):
playing out in this Republican primary. Rhonda Santis, assuming he runs,
and we are all assuming at this point that he's
going to run, is going to be the I get
stuff done that I say I'm going to get done
and it benefits you, candidate. You can evaluate that as
you will, but he's making a pretty strong case for
it down here in the state of Florida, that's for sure.
(02:10):
Montana's lieutenant governor on sex changes for minors said, well, basically,
when the kids tell you what they want, you have
to listen to them to be a good parent. You'll
hear that sound bite a little bit later. I am
not yet a parent, but I do think it's pretty
clear from all the good parents that I know that
(02:31):
doing whatever your kid says is not a good idea,
and affirming whatever they tell you is actually not how
you parent. Will Biden, by the way, is demanding that
TikTok be sold or will be banned. So that is
I'm sorry, did I said Montana? I meant Minnesota? Whoops?
The lieutenant governor of Minnesota. Right there we go. And
(02:55):
also we have a sunny Houston here telling us that
she hasn't been to a grocery store in three years
because of COVID. Oh and a guy on a plane,
a wealthy fellow on a plane, a tech tycoon, offered
a woman one hundred thousand dollars a hundred thousand dollars
(03:19):
to just take her mask off for the duration of
the flight. This has gone viral. Not all heroes wear capes.
They certainly don't wear masks. This guy is pretty funny.
We'll talk about that and just a little bit. I
wanted to start, though, with an update on the drone
situation from yesterday. It is remarkable how quickly. First first,
(03:43):
let me tell you what the news is of this,
and then we can get into a bit more of
the why does this matter? Where is this taking all
of us? So you had the Secretary of Defense, Lloyd Austin,
while we were on Area yesterday and I brought you
a little bit of the commentary that or the statement
that he made, and also Chairman Milly talking about what
(04:04):
happened with this drone. It turns out our our pilot
caller yesterday we had a fighter pilot call in and say,
you know, you probably could a drone is quite fragile
and you probably could clip it with a Russian sequoy
fighter aircraft and bring it down. It looks like that
is as of now at least what happened. There's actually
(04:27):
video of it. It's pretty remarkable. It makes sense though, Right,
there's a drone, so the drone has surveillance cameras on
the whole point of the drone is to see stuff
and pick up measurements. Right, it's a surveillance drone. So
there's video and the plane basically looks like it slams
right into or near enough the drone that it brought
it down. So that's that's the update on it. It
(04:51):
was interesting though, because yesterday you had you had Joint
Chiefs Chairman Mark Millie, when he was asked about whether
this downing of the drone was an active war, he
did not want to give any definitive statement on a
play clip eit. I can tell you with certainty though,
that we have absolute evidence of the contact to step succepter,
(05:14):
and it's very aggressive. You've heard about the dumping of
the fuel and everything else. We have video evidence of
all that. So um, there's there's no question that that
part of its intentional as far as an active war goes.
I'm not gonna I'm not gonna go there. Incidents happen,
and clearly we do not seek armed conflict with Russia,
and I believe that at this point we should investigate
this incident and move on from there. I thought that
(05:36):
was interesting. He says he's not going to go there,
and then he kind of goes there, and he's like,
I don't I'm not going to get into this. Look,
we are in a situation where the I want to
I want to step back from just this moment to
remind everybody how we got here in the first place.
Twenty sixteen, the entire Democrat apparatus is completely convinced that
(06:03):
Hillary Clinton has about a one hundred percent chance of
becoming the next president of the United States. As we know,
that did not happen, and they came up with this crazy,
and it really was crazy story about Trump working with Russia,
and you know, the Russians maybe they hacked voting machines,
or the Russians, you know, engaged in some disinformation campaign,
(06:25):
They spent some money on Facebook, there were some bots
whatever that Russia helped Trump steal the election. And so
then it became mandatory for Democrats who wanted to be
in good standing to view all things Russia as the
most monstrous and horrible of any country in the world.
You know, if you had asked a Democrat who had
(06:48):
voted for Hillary Clinton, who was going on MSNBC or whatever.
First of all, they clearly thought it was a bigger
threat than China, which is which is crazy. But if
you had even said, you know, who's a bigger threat
to international stability Russia or North Korea? What have been Russia? Right?
So they created a mass hysteria within the Democrat Party
about Russia, and that has dramatically impacted the relationship and
(07:16):
the perception of the relationship that certainly Democrats and a
lot of Republicans have about the US and Russia and
pushed it in in an irrationally negative direction. And so
we no longer have the kind of relationship with Russia
where yeah, of course Putin's a thug. All this stuff
is true. A lot she is of the she meaning
Ji Jinping is a thug. I mean a lot of
(07:39):
a lot of these governments that we have to do.
What do we think of the Saudi regime? Not exactly
democratically elected, is it right? There are plenty of authoritarians
that we have to do business with, that we have
to work with, and we do so because it is
ultimately in the interests of the American people, because that
is what we care about. I don't know you can
(08:00):
even say it is an America first perspective. Isn't it
fascinating that Donald Trump was able to turn around the
phrase America first was a was a pejorative. You know,
it was America first. You take it all the way
back and people will talk about Charles Lindbergh and but
even to use the phrase America first isolationist and worse
(08:25):
than that isolationists and worse. But hold on, that's the
most succinct way to put the mentality that we should
have in this country when we're looking at American foreign
politic and interest, which is what is to the benefit
of the American people. That's step one. Sure, there are
other considerations. We want to be, you know, a kind
and just and good people, and good stewards of the environment,
(08:47):
and good neighbors to the rest of the world. All that, yes,
of course, but priority number one. But what's fascinating is
that Democrats, in part because of the Russia collusion, delusion
and their irrational hatred of Russia, they no longer can
see the ups and downs of this. It's just Russia
(09:10):
is the bad guy. We have to do anything we
can to crush Putin and the Kremlin, and that is
our first priority. And you sit there, you say, well,
hold on a second, how did we get to that point.
I keep talking to conservatives about this issue, including a
lot of veterans, and one thing that we all seem
to agree on is of the Ukrainian people. They were invaded.
(09:34):
It's wrong. What Russia has done is awful. We're rooting
for Ukraine to be able to fight, but we also
want to at least be able to have a conversation
about one how much of this is supposed to be
US funded and backed. Hey, we might be heading into
a recession, folks, Not just according to me, According to Goldman,
Sachs and pretty much everybody who's paying attention, and you
(09:57):
may be struggling to pay your bills, Biden wants to
raise your taxes. We all know this. Oh, it'll just
be for the fat cats. When has that ever been true.
It's never true. Biden wants to make it so that
you have less money to spend because he knows how
to spend your money better, and that includes spending one
hundred billion dollars a year on the war in Ukraine.
(10:17):
You might start to think, hold on a second, is
that really in the primary interest? Well, what matters more
to the American people that you can pay your rent
or that we are sending enough javelin missiles to Ukraine.
I think that's a fair conversation. Now people say, oh,
we can walk and chew gum at the same time.
One hundred billion dollars a lot of money. Actually, one
(10:39):
hundred billion dollars matters even in US budgetary terms a year.
Keep in mind, there is no chance of this conflict
ending anytime soon. The people who keep saying Russia is
almost defeated have said it every three months, maybe every
two months, since the beginning of this war basically ever
since Russia didn't take Kiev or Kiev as we're now
(11:00):
all supposed to call it. So they've been wrong over
and over again. Russia is not about to be exhausted
or defeated. That is a fantasy. So can we have
a fourth, right and honest discussion about what are really
the interest that we have and how far are we
willing to go? Well, the answers no. They want you
just like we saw with COVID and so many other things.
(11:20):
They want to silence you. They want to shut you down.
You're a Russian stooge. You're a Russian stooge if you
question the extent that American tax dollars should go to
fund of war thousands of miles away. And when they
are asked how this is in the American interest, you
have Lloyd also, the Secretary Defense, saying something that's very
(11:43):
similar to what we've heard from others Biden, Kamala Harris.
It's this very vague stuff that sounds like what you'd
hear from somebody in a high school model UN conference
about the international rules based order Play seven in terms
of the importance of Ukraine. First of all, we've seen
Bi part of support for providing security assistance to Ukraine
(12:03):
throughout up to this point. I expect that we will
continue to see that going forward. We've heard some senior
leaders on both sides of the fence say that this
is about the rules based international order. It's about one
country's ability to wake up one day and change the
borders of its neighbor and nx its neighbors sovereign territory.
(12:25):
And as we've seen, countries around the world don't think
that's a good idea. This is about the rules based
international order. Okay. Interesting, So when he says that that's
the justification, first of all, the fact that has bipartisan support,
that's not an answer. And I don't care when we're
(12:47):
asking a question when someone saying why why is this?
Every time I ask or I hear someone try to
answer the why is this a key US national security interest?
The response is not compelling. They say, oh, well, they'll
go into NATO countries afterwards, they'll invade Poland afterwards. That
is crazy. Look at the trouble they're having just with
(13:09):
US financial and material backing in Ukraine. So they're not
just gonna take on Poland, They're gonna take on all
of NATO. Next, that is lunacy. But people say it,
People who think they're really smart say it, Oh yeah,
that Poland is next. Okay. But then they say something
about the international rules based order or something that sounds
(13:32):
like it comes from a boilered plate UN conference. And
I sit here and I say, okay, if that's so true,
if we should have done all this, why was it
that under the Obama administration? Under the Obama administration, there
was a fear of sending Javelin anti tech missiles and
Dragon off sniper rifles to the Ukrainian military because it
(13:54):
would have been considered provocative to Russia and contrary to
American interests of Russia had already effectively invaded a part
of eastern Ukraine. After Russia had taken Crimea. How much worse?
I ask you this, how much did it matter to
your life that Crimea became a part of the Russian
(14:14):
Federation years ago? I think we all know the answer
to that. How much did it affect your life, your safety,
your financial security, your future when Eastern Ukraine fell under
the dominion of the Russian Federation in all but official name,
and the fighting continued on for seven years. The answer
(14:35):
is it didn't matter to you. Ah, But now it's
supposed to be all or nothing. You see, no one's
rooting for Russia here. No one is blind to the
realities of the Russian aggression and the thuggishness of Vladimir Putin.
We're trying to look at what, first of all, was
the bipartisan consensus on this, even under the Obama administration.
(14:56):
Interesting the Trump administration, it's got real quiet for a while.
But anyway, under the Obama administration sees crimea and do
all this stuff, okay, And at the end of the
Bush administration, by the way, you can talk about what
happened in South Assetia and Abkhazia and in Georgia effectively
little pieces of that taken off. But now we're supposed
(15:17):
to believe this is a key national security issue for US,
instead of saying, because this is what I offer in response,
we need a negotiated settlement and Ukraine is going to
lose some territory in it. How about that how many
lives could be saved there and how many hundreds of
(15:38):
billions of dollars could be saved of the taxpayer if
we took that approach. Does it feel good? No? Is
it justice? Not really? But saving lives in order to
exchange territory. That is basically the history of all warfare
and humanity, stretching back for quite a long time. Right,
You end wars through negotiation and settlement, and also that
(16:03):
includes an exchange of territory. We can't even talk about
that right now. You know, the world's in turmoil, that's
for sure. The failures in the banking system are teaching
people lessons right now about unforeseen consequences, and the federal
government looks like, well, what are they going to do?
Remember the lines outside supermarkets just three years ago during
COVID they could start again. Yeah, we had to stand
six feet apart. That's stupidity. Put yourself in a position
(16:25):
of being self sufficient and self reliant now, don't wait
for a crisis to hit. That's why we are recommending

(17:08):
every Day, The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show. Welcome
back to The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show. I
can't say that I have left my heart in San Francisco.
I've only been there a couple of times, I think once,
twice twice. Maybe it is a beautiful city. It was
(17:29):
physically geographically a beautiful city. It has some problems though,
it has some mischieves. Right now, you've probably seen the videos,
and it is a Democrat on Clay. It is really
the distillation of lifestyle coastal liberalism in one city, in
one place. In some sense that the purest democrat urban
(17:55):
ecosystem you could find of the lifestyle liberal variety. Right. So,
Nancy Pelosiism reigned supreme supreme in San Francisco, and we
see what's happened. It's gone from being a place where
we many of us think of full house, remember the
show full I grew up watching that show, really enjoyed it.
(18:18):
A watchfull House for many years. And you know, they
had this beautiful house which I think now well, I
don't know what it is now, but at one point
that was like a four million dollar house that they
were living in, you know, Danny Tanner and John Stamos
and Dave Coulier, Coolier whatever they were all living in together. Anyway,
(18:39):
San Francisco was a very safe city, culturally, vibrant, beautiful,
a lot of good things about it, right, a lot
of great things about it, and not anymore. It's unfortunately
gone in a direction where people are leaving as fast
as they reasonably can. The city of San Francisco now
(19:00):
faces a budget deficit of seven hundred and twenty eight
million dollars. That's a big budget. You know, San Francisco's
not that big as a city. That's a big problem.
And the bigger problem, in a sense, isn't just the deficit,
is that there's no sign of this getting better. It
(19:21):
relies largely on property taxes to fund services. You could
play this similar scenario out in a lot of Democrat
run cities across the country. But the downtown offices are
at about a thirty percent vacancy. Twenty nine percent is
the actual data that I have in front of me here,
(19:43):
so almost you know, call it a third of the
downtown office is empty in San Francisco. So they've got
a lot of problems. They've got a lot of issues
right now, and they're still going to keep spending a
whole lot of money, and they don't want to change
their redistributive mechanisms in place. The lifestyle liberalism slash Marxism
(20:11):
is that is the animating ideology of San Francisco. So
I give you all of this background because I think
it makes this even more fascinating and tells you more
about the democrat mindset in the left wing strongholds. I
think San Francisco is, for a city of over a
(20:33):
half a million people, I think it is the most
democrat city in the entire country, with the exception it
might be DC. Now, which think about that. I mean DC,
our our nation's capital, is as a city entirely democrat dominated,
which is why you see things like the recent crime
(20:55):
bill that the City Council passed they think about this.
They have a increase, a massive increase in carjackings in DC,
which is a form of armed robbery that threatened someone's
life for their car. They have not car theft. Carjacking.
You know, get out of the car or I'm gonna
(21:15):
stab you or shoot you. That's what a carjacking is.
The DC City councils like, we're punishing carjackers too harshly.
That's real. That was in their most recent crime bill
that even Joe Biden had to go along with the
Republicans in blockings. He's like, you guys are out of
your minds Okay. In San Francisco, I just told you
they're approaching a billion dollar budget hole for this year
(21:37):
and it's gonna be that's their projection. It's gonna be
worse because why, what business in its right mind, I
don't even care what its politics are, is going to
move into downtown San Francisco right now? What can you
think of one? No, they're all breaking their leases and
getting out of there as soon as they possibly can.
And that's not going to change. Because it wasn't just
(21:58):
about COVID. Obviously, it was at all these other factors
as well. It is with that backdrop that I tell
you that the reparations committee that has been hired by
the City of San Francisco is now advising a five
(22:20):
million dollars a person lumps some payment to every eligible
black resident of San Francisco, a guaranteed income of ninety
seven thousand dollars per year for two hundred and fifty years,
(22:41):
elimination of personal debt and tax burdens, and homes for
one dollar. I am reading that to you. Okay, that
is the actual reporting year. I don't know what the
best part of this is. I mean five million dollars
in a lump sum. That's nice. That that helps a lot, obviously,
(23:06):
like I would love a five million dollar lump sum.
Sign me up for that. The elimination of any personal
debt and any need to pay any taxes, and a
home for a dollar. This is in a city that
is facing the biggest budget crisis in my lifetime. Certainly
(23:27):
they're spending money to have people tell them that the
city residents need to give five million dollars to every
black resident of the City of San Francisco who I'm
trying to find. There's some there's some specifications here you
(23:48):
have to be let me see, by the way, only
about six percent of San Francisco's population is black, so
it's less than fifty thousand residents that Okay. They have
to prove that they migrated to San Francisco between nineteen
forty and nineteen ninety six, prove residency for at least
thirteen years, have claimed to have been black on government
(24:10):
documents for at least ten years, and either be a
descendant of someone enslaved before eighteen sixty five, or this
was really interesting too, a direct descendant of someone jailed
in the failed War on Drugs. So my understanding here,
(24:32):
Let's say your family migrated from Africa in like the
nineteen eighties and somewhat in your you know, and you
have a father who went to prison for I don't know,
drug trafficking of some kind. That means that you would
qualify under this under these provisions. So I'm just I'm
(24:54):
just here to say, and I want to be very
clear on this. I think would Sanford Cisco's Reparations committee
is offering up is really racist. It is not nearly
enough money, five million dollars a person. It should be
five hundred million dollars a person. It should be eleven. No,
(25:20):
So clearly we should go bankrupt, not just San Francisco,
which is going to head toward bankruptcy if it does
anything even approaching this, and it already is heading in
that direction without any of this, we should be willing
to go bankrupt designation in order to do this, right,
I mean, isn't that the mentality I would want to
ask the members of this reparations committee. And this has
been passed by the San Francisco Board of Supervisors. By
(25:42):
the way, they have embraced all of these recommendations, so
it has gone beyond the committee paid to study reparations
to the San Francisco Board of Supervisors. And they're the
ones who were saying, you know, we're gonna have to
look at this officially in June in terms of what
they adopt. Look, they're obviously not gonna do all I mean,
(26:03):
I shouldn't say obviously, but they're not going to do
all of this. But at some level, I do think
it is a what would call the Motte and Bailey argument.
It's making outrageous, make all these outrageous claims, so that
then when the council gathers together and they say, you know,
we're gonna give We're gonna give two hundred thousand dollars
(26:24):
to every black resident. Okay, how about that. There might
be this moment of oh, well that's I mean, it's
not five million dollars, so that seems reasonable in comparison. Right,
I's two hundred thousand dollars a person. City can't afford
that either, but maybe that's somewhat doable. You see how
that You see how that works as a classic bad
faith argumentation tactic that people use or people people use
(26:47):
it in negotiations to the negotiations. You'll generally it's a
little different. There's another tactic called anchoring. Right, So if
I if I'm gonna buy a watch from somebody, I
can say to them and I've I've you know, bought
and sold watches on the on the fly before. It's
an interesting process. In New York. I could say to them, Hey,
(27:07):
that's a really nice, you know, three thousand dollars watch.
Well they want you know, they want six for it,
and I just said it's a nice three thousand dollars watch.
I have anchored them, Like that's the purpose of that
a negotiating those of you who are in sales, You
guys and gals know all this backwards and forwards. But
modern Bailey argumentation is a little bit difference when you
take this a much more expansive position in order to
(27:29):
actually advance and protect a by comparison reasonable position. Right.
So this is why I say, oh, we should give
five million dollars per black resident in reparations, and the
you know ninety what was it, ninety something thousand dollars
a year for two hundred and fifty years. I don't
even you know, human beings really only lived to one hundred.
(27:50):
So there's a lot of stuff. But the point being,
after all that, then the committee can maybe say, all right,
so we're just gonna do maybe we'll do a universal
basic income for every black resident of you know, ten
thousand dollars a month. Right. Oh wait a second, that
sounds so reasonable in comparison. So I wouldn't dismiss all
of this as just bluster from the San Francisco Council
(28:12):
and and this Reparations committee. I think there's the possibility
that they do try something here. But I'm just I'm
just gonna keep pointing out five million dollars a resident.
That's those are those are low numbers. We need to
get those We need to get those numbers up. I'm
a fifty million San Francisco. Why don't you take this
problem seriously? Fifty million dollars per black resident sounds far
(28:37):
more social justice worthy. I think fifty million. It should
be the number, right, That's that's the way we should go.
It's just as crazy as their number, folks. So what
difference does it make? You know what I mean? And
and the fact that in cities where there are real problems,
and this is the the honest to God part of
the whole thing that drives me crazy, there are real
(28:59):
things that can be done for all of the residents,
the black residents and all of the residents of San Francisco,
that would help clean up those streets, keep them safer,
enforce the law, make it a place people want to live,
make it a place where people can go to good schools.
You know, there's a lot of stuff that could be
done that's real. No. Instead, because you know, liberalism for
(29:22):
so many in this country is their religion replacement. You know,
there's no real attachment to God or anything beyond themselves.
It's a religion of narcissism and virtue signaling. Right, Oh,
it's all about me and feeling good about my positions.
So for the San Francisco residents and the area residents
who have so much money, and although I don't know
SVB banks, some of them are probably lost some money.
(29:44):
This is an opportunity to feel good about themselves without
actually doing any good. And this is something you see
continuously with Democrats in places like San Francisco and you know,
like Los Angeles, New York City, DC, Chicago, you name it.
They want to do things that make them feel good
about themselves, that do no actual good and in fact
(30:06):
will do harm to other people, and they don't care.
And they don't care because it is a credo of
narcissism and self advancement that they espouse and pretend that
it's about other people, pretend that it's about historic injustice,
social injustice, whatever it is that they're saying today. You know,

Some states have taken action to end the practice of
transgender surgery for miners adolescents, teenagers some cases, even pre
(31:53):
adolescents some states Oklahoma, for example, we had Governor Kevin
Stitt on the show to talk about it. Florida, Tennessee,
that they're taking actions to say, you're just not going
to do this under the guise of medicine. It is
ideology masquerading as medicine. Everybody who sits around and thinks
(32:15):
about it and is in brainwash knows that. Or you
can think that all of a sudden there's been a
three thousand percent rise in transgender kids, because that's actually
just been reality for all of human history until now,
and not that adults have decided because of the emptiness
of their own lives and their own susceptibility to brainwashing
(32:38):
by the left wing apparatus in this country, that adults
are pushing this belief on children because it is fashionable.
It is fashionable, not just in their minds for the children,
but actually for the adults themselves. Oh look at me,
I'm so progressive. By the way, how many you know,
how many like right wing dads who go to church
(33:02):
every Sunday and have callouses on their hands from their
job or or you know, their their weekend activities end
up having a you know, a seven year old that
they decide is you know, not actually a boy but
a girl. And then how many It's such a coincidence,
isn't it? Remember coincidences? The Wohan Institute of Virology, COVID
(33:24):
pops up right next to it. It's a big world.
Oh that's a coincidence. Sure, it is another coincidence. Blue haired,
nose ringed left wing activist shrieking on TikTok about you
know how Trump is hitler and how climate change is
going to destroy the planet happens to seem to be
the profile of parent of child who is actually transgender.
(33:47):
How is that? What a coincidence? Hmm? I wonder why
is it that the obvious left wing loon tends to
be much more lightly to be the parent of a
transgender child? That's so it's so interesting, isn't it certainly
much more likely to be the parent of a transgender
(34:08):
child who is being pushed toward surgery, puberty blockers, any
of the rest of it. But then this brings me
to other states. We're seeing this now states. One thing
that COVID showed us was how important your state government
actually is, How tyrannical and idiotic it can be, or
(34:30):
how sane and rational and of course then prosperous as
a result of those decisions. It can be, you know,
see Florida, Texas, Tennessee and some others. But the state
of Minnesota, the state of Minnesota now has become, thanks
to its Democrat governor Waltz, a transgender surgery for youth
(34:57):
haven or a sank shoary state for transgender surgeries and
puberty blockers. They keep calling they keep calling it gender
affirming care. Why don't they call it gender transitioning care.
You ever thought about that. That's what it used to
be called. Why did they change it? Because they want
(35:19):
you to use language that concedes the argument before the
argument is even made. They want you to say, effectively,
you're right before you've even gotten into what they're right about.
You're affirming the gender with this care. Wait, no, you're
changing a gender. Where Notice even in that simple, that
(35:42):
simple lie, that straightforward reality, you can see what's really
going on here. So Wall sign this executive order. And
even when I read the when I read the way
the media talks about it's always you know, oh, but
these things are the gender firming care, which is generally
(36:04):
puberty blockers and hormone therapy and it's mostly or partially reversible,
and like maybe sometimes they're surgery, but you know, like
let's not talk about that. I mean, we want to
make sure the people do that. Kids, little kids, We
want to make sure. The Democrats want to be certain
in Minnesota that a fourteen year old girl when she
(36:24):
enters puberty can have a double mostectomy. They want to
be certain of that, but they also want to downplay
the realities of what happens, you know, of what the
long term implications of this are and if you want
(36:45):
to get into the mindset here. So Minnesota as a state,
you know, I used to I used to go camping
in Minnesota with my dad over the summers in the
Boundary waters. So those who are Minnesota folks or maybe
some others who've traveled at her you know, it's beautiful.
Some people in Minnesota were so nice, and I think
that that holds up. And I just don't know how
(37:06):
it's been turned into such a left wing blue Democrat
looney bin, but it is. It is. Here you have
the Lieutenant Governor of Minnesota, Peggy Flanagan, who is a
who's a Native American, which you'll hear about a lot
because that's you know, identity politics super important. What does
(37:30):
she stand for? What are her leadership capabilities? What does
she No? No, no, let's just first all celebrate. We're
told that you have the first Native American woman at
this level of politics in the state of Minnesota. Or
maybe it's I think she actually might be the second,
but whatever. But she's a community activist. She's very left
wing in her thoughts and beliefs. And I want you
(37:51):
to hear, especially for the parents out there, what is now.
These are people with a lot of power, governor's, lieutenant governors.
They're signing legislation that is going to By the way,
this is going to be turned against parents who are
not crazy at some point because what you're going to
have is a doctor. Just wait, remember that I've said
this to you. You will have a case at the
(38:12):
national level. It will become a big issue where you
have the system activist, therapist, some you know doctor who
seems like a loon but has an MD who's like, yeah,
we need to do gender transitions for the fourteen year olds.
And then a parent who steps in and says, I
don't want this for my child, and the system says,
(38:32):
if you don't allow this, it's child abuse. To not
allow the general mutilation of your child, this child abuse.
Just give it time. This will happen. If it hasn't,
it might have already happened in the state. I just
haven't seen it or can't remember it right now, but
that will happen. Here is Lieutenant Governor of Minnesota, Flanagan,
on some parenting advice that I think all the parents
in this audience. Oh boy, here you go. Play clip three.
(38:56):
Let's be clear. This is life affirming and life saving healthcare.
When our children tell us who they are, it is
our job as grown ups to listen and to believe them.
That's what it means to be a good parent. Oh
(39:18):
there you go. That's what it means to be a
good parent. So I remember they talk about trans babies
the left. Don't let them. Don't let them try to
pretend that they talk about trans babies. Men can get periods,
men can get pregnant, there are transgender babies. I mean,
they've gone all out with all this stuff now, and
now the fight is should we actually allow these quack
(39:40):
doctors these these lunatic medical practitioners to like remove the
breasts of a healthy teenage girl because she's decided she's
a man before she's eighteen. I'm not even talking about
adults are not even a part of this conversation right now,
putting that aside entirely. But for children, Oh, they say
it's reversible. Really, Oh yeah, I'm sure puberty, puberty blocking
(40:02):
drugs block your your your gender transition for a few years,
with the same drugs in some cases that they actually
give to um, you know, sex offenders to sterilize them.
It's sterilizing drug block block someone's puberty and then tell
them they're just going to turn it back on everything
we find in normal That's crazy, it's not true the
(40:24):
long term effects of this. They they're lying to you,
but the same way they lied about COVID and everything else.
They're lying to you about what the data really says.
But I thought this was fascinating. So if a child,
if you're six year old, comes up to you and says,
on one day, I'm a stegasaurus, which I'm sure some
(40:45):
of you the parents out there, would say, yeah, my
kids have said some weird stuff. When they're, you know,
five six years old, I'm a stegasaur. I identify with triceratops.
I feel like I'm a triceratops. You are supposed to
say to that, well, I don't know what would what
would Lieutenant Governor Flanagan want you to say? I assume
it would be no, no, no, you're not actually an
extinct dinosaur species. That would be really hard. But at
(41:07):
the same child, at the same age, were to say,
I'm I want to be called a girl's name and
have long hair and dress in princess costumes and I'm
a girl. Oh, it's time to have all their classmates
and the school and everybody treat them like a girl.
And forget about the fact that so much of this
is drawn by kids being one confused, two impressionable, three
wanting attention. Minnesota a state that is now standing up
(41:35):
and saying, come to us if you want gender transition
surgery for kids. It's a shame what they've done to
that state. All right, my friends, there are a few
greater feelings than total exhilaration. A lot of times that
comes after a big triumph for an athletic competition, but
even without exercise. Just feeling great should be an everyday
sensation that you have. Our friends at Chalk can help
(41:56):

(43:00):
Get to know the guys outside the issues with a
new podcast bided on the iHeart app or wherever you
get your podcasts. I know that Rhonda Santists weighed in
recently with his foreign policy view of the situation in Ukraine.
I thought it was nuanced, sensible and showed a grasp
(43:23):
of all the all the different things to consider, you know,
equities in DC speak, right, we call everything equities now um.
But Kamala Harris disagrees with the approach of Rhonda Santists,
and I think just to remind everybody of the kinds
(43:45):
of people who were in charge. Remember, Joe Biden was
brought onto the Obama ticket to be the brilliant mind
of foreign policy. Let that sink in for a second
true story. Joe Biden was the foreign po see guy
in the oh. And of course that mattered too because
when he was vice president, what was part of his
(44:07):
portfolio and the Obama administration oh Ukraine, which is why
there's that video of him saying that he demanded the
firing of a special prosecutor in Ukraine or else a
billion dollars loan guarantee. Yeah, that Joe Biden just coincidentally
the same country that was paying his crack addict Boa
(44:28):
and tighty Whitey's clad son eighty thousand dollars a month. Right,
Just that is a cod the same way that the
Wuhan Institute of Virology being right next to the first
place that the COVID virus pops up. It's a coincidence,
just like the only country that Joe Biden seemed so
(44:50):
very fixated on at that phase of the Obama presidency
that was in his portfolio happened to be paying happened
to be paying his son eighty thousand dollars to do nothing. Okay, right,
coincidence theorists, It's fun, isn't it. But anyway, Joe Biden
is the was the foreign policy guy. Kamala Harris is
now Joe Biden's vice president. I think it is fair
(45:12):
to say that Kamala Harris, even if she just stays
in this vice presidential role based on health issues, if
Joe Biden were to get into a second term, there's
a very real chance that Kamala would be a vice
president who would have to take the helm. We all
know that's just you know, that's just the age reality
of where Biden is in life. We all know that.
(45:33):
You know, maybe he just decides he doesn't have the
energy anymore, and he really doesn't. He finally admits what
the reality is. Steps down, Kamala takes over. Okay, here
she is weighing in on desantis'es Ukraine War thoughts play
for so as Vice president, I have now met with
over a hundred world leaders, presidents, prime ministers, chancellors, and kings.
(45:55):
And when you have had the experience of meeting and
understand standing the significance again of international rules and norms,
and the importance of the United States of America standing
firm and clear about the significance of sovereignty and territorial integrity,
the significance of standing firm against any nation that would
(46:18):
try to take by force. Oh, it's about sovereignty. That
was the part of it that jumped out to me.
We are a country that now has an ongoing invasion
of illegal immigration to the tune of millions a year,
and tens of millions in total inside the country. Already,
(46:40):
and we're being lectured it is a joke to get
into America right now. It is that easy at the
southern border. And we just spoke to Stephen Miller about
this yesterday, who is just he is like a savant
on border issues. He knows more than anyone else you
can think of at the policy level. And we're talking
talking about a wide open border. What could be a
(47:02):
more egregious violation of US sovereignty short of a military
invasion than that. But that is not as important as
what is the status of the Dawn Boss region. This
is what we're the Dawn Boss region, which I honestly
would be very curious to see. Let's let's ask this
question out loud. Could Kamala Harris if you gave a
(47:23):
blank map of Europe with none of the country names listed,
not even could she find the Dawnboss Do you think
she could find Ukraine? Do you think Joe Biden? Could
I leave that? I leave that to your discretion, Biden, Maybe,
because that's where a lot of the family loot came from, right,
But I think it's an open question. Could he find
a Dawnboss region? Probably not, but I think it's interesting
(47:47):
also that Kamala felt the need to do this, this
preamble of when you're really important and you've met with
really important people and you understand all the important rules
about the important stuff in the world, It's like, Okay, yeah,
you're the vice president, you got you gotta do better
(48:07):
than just tell us you've sat in a lot of meetings.
You've got to explain to us the international rules based order. Well,
what is that? What does that even really mean? It's
like people that say, this is a violation of international law, Okay,
who's going to enforce it? Well, as we know, the
Democrats believe we should. You know, we're the ones that
(48:28):
are supposed to as long as there is no critical
US interest involved in a conflict, Democrats get excited about
spending US blood and treasure in this case so far
in Ukraine just treasure. But give it time. We'll see. Anyway,
I thought it was remarkable. And then there's also this
from the actually, you know what, I'll get to the
(48:51):
Sunny Houstin clip. Because first off, there's this guy who
was on a delta flight and because I've often said
this to people, what would it take? What would it
take for the people who are masking alone in cars,
and they exist because I see them still. And there
are a lot of people masking up in California, certainly
(49:13):
in Los Angeles area, San Francisco. I saw it in
LA recently. I'm going back to New York soon spend
some time in my hometown. I'm sure there are going
to be a bunch of people they're masked up too,
including a loan and outside. You ask yourself, what would
it take for them to stop doing this? Like what
(49:33):
has to happen for them to finally say enough is enough?
And you've seen there are some efforts now to normalize
through sciens doing this forever. They're saying, oh, but maybe
it also reduces like normal flu and colds or something.
It's like, come on, guys, come on, let's let's not
But they will, they'll, they'll try something really pathetic. This guy,
Steve Kirsch, he is a tech super millionaire. That guy's
(49:58):
worth two hundred and thirty million dollars, said that he
was sitting next to a woman in first class. I
love this. Who does anyone to get what bet would
you put that? You know who this woman who was
sitting in first class who was masking up between bites.
What odds would you give that she's a Democrat? I mean,
(50:20):
I would I think that you couldn't. Even nobody would
take the other side of the bet. I don't think
there are any odds you could give that she is
that you would actually get money to come in against
you on this right ten to one, one hundred to one.
She clearly is a Biden voter. And he started the
bidding at one hundred dollars to get her to take
off the mask. This guy's worth two hundred and thirty
million dollars, so for him, one hundred k is couch
(50:44):
cushion money. It doesn't matter. And he got all the
way up to one hundred thousand dollars, and she still
wouldn't take the mask off, even though he was explaining
to her. You realize that you're taking and that he
tweeted about this too. You keep bringing the mask down
to eat for you know, to drink, to eat, you know,
for fifteen minutes at a time, twenty minutes at a time.
(51:06):
What do you think you're well? The virus that you
think is in the air whish, By the way, on planes,
you're safer from viruses than you are in almost any
other congregate setting as about you would say, but because
of the hepiphil, trade between bites was so important. That
was always the airline policy. It was never ever wear
a mask the entire time you're on the plane. Even
(51:28):
that wouldn't work, but wear the mask partially in between
bites at different periods on the flight. If you believe
that an aerosolized virus is something that you can't see,
that it's just swirling around in the air. This was
completely insane. She wouldn't She wouldn't take him up on
a hundred. Now, of course, what are the lips saying, Oh,
(51:49):
they didn't think he'd actually pay. Well, you know she
could have. I'm sure the guy's probably got a couple
of grand in cash autumn. Probably could have said, well,
I want you to pull out a venmo at the
end of this, I'll get a witness. I mean, if
someone told me, pull your first of wall, never find
a photo of me with a mask on anywhere, you
won't it. Second of all, you know, I'm not wearing
a mask on a plane, obviously, But you know I
(52:11):
would say, if someone was gonna pay me this kind
of money, I would at least get a witness to
it and say this was a verbal contract and try
to hold them to it. But anyway, it's not worth
the tour. It's not worth it. I would let someone
give me COVID for a hundred grand. I've had it twice,
one hundred grand. Yeah, have a sniffle for three days.
I'm not worried about it. I would let it rip.
But anyway, it's it's pretty amazing that this is where
(52:33):
we are. Oh but Sonny Houston still won't go to
a grocery store because of COVID. She's a millionaire from
sitting on a TV set with people who are just
constantly making the American people more ignorant with their commentary,
and she won't go to a grocery store. She has
other people. She cares so much about COVID that she
(52:55):
has other people who don't have millions of dollars go
do her grocery shopping for her. Because that's how you
show how to stop the virus. You send the poor
people in there to do it for you. You know,
that's that was the whole field. Okay, well we'll get
into this. You've got to hear this. It's coming up
here in just a second. Look, I'm going to the
range on Sunday and I've got some AMMO for it.
