Hour 3 of The Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Show delivers a dynamic mix of political analysis, Texas primary intrigue, and listener-driven fun. The hour opens with a discussion on President Trump’s cultural influence in Washington, D.C., including his recent Kennedy Center honors announcement and efforts to restore law and order in the nation’s capital. Texas Senator John Cornyn joins the show to address crime in D.C., juvenile justice reform, and his support for Jeanine Pirro as the new U.S. Attorney. Cornyn also weighs in on the Texas Democrats’ walkout over redistricting, calling it a potential federal issue, and outlines GOP plans to break the blockade on Trump’s judicial nominees—including possible Senate rule changes using the “nuclear option.”
The conversation then shifts to Cornyn’s competitive Texas primary, his 99.2% pro-Trump voting record, and concerns about Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton’s electability. Cornyn shares insights on Democratic challengers like Beto O’Rourke and Colin Allred, predicting high-stakes Senate battles in Texas, Kentucky, and Georgia.
Listeners later join the conversation with hilarious talkbacks debating whether using a gift card on a first date is worse than arriving on an e-scooter. Stories include punch-card coffee dates and even a Home Depot rental truck pickup, sparking a lively discussion on modern dating etiquette. The hour wraps with a lighthearted segment on middle-aged athleticism, featuring challenges like kicking field goals and hitting 100 mph tennis serves.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome back in play Travis Buck Sexton Show.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
Appreciate all of you hanging out with us as we.
Speaker 1 (00:05):
Are rolling through the Wednesday edition of the program, Lots
going on. Trump has announced a large number of Kennedy
Center honors as he continues to remake Washington, d C.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
And Buck, this is a small thing.
Speaker 3 (00:23):
But when you and I were up in DC in June,
we were out on a boat.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
I'd never been out on a boat on the Potomac.
Very fun.
Speaker 1 (00:34):
Carlos and Hillary, your friends from Miami, took us out
and they said something interesting. They said as we were
going past, they were celebrating.
Speaker 2 (00:45):
It was June.
Speaker 1 (00:47):
They were celebrating America, not gay pride. And the colors
on the Kennedy Center were red, white and blue, and
it was absolutely fantastic. And I think it is emblematic
of the cultural shift that we have seen. And I
bet Senator John Cornin of Texas has certainly noticed that
cultural shift as well. Let's start here. We've been talking
(01:09):
a great deal since Monday's press conference about the fact
that President Trump is trying to make DC safer. You
have spent a lot of time in DC. Is the
city safe? Should it be safer. Can you believe that
Democrats have decided that they're going to attack Trump on
trying to limit the number of murders happening in our
nation's capital.
Speaker 4 (01:30):
Well, no, thanks for having me. First of all, that
you know, the District of Columbia is not safe and juveniles,
juvenile offenders basically have a free hand because under current
City Council and US Attorney or i should City Attorney
General of DC, juveniles basically are not arrested and incarcerated
(01:55):
even though they are effectively adults. That's one of the
reasons I was very happy to support Jeanine Piro as
the new US Attorney for the District of Columbia. And
I think President Trump's efforts hopefully will restore law and
order to the nation's capital, which happens to have a
whole lot of people come across the country and around
(02:16):
the world come visit our great nation's capital, and hopefully
this will make things safer for them as well.
Speaker 3 (02:25):
Senator Corny, and we've been talking a fair bit on
the show about what's going on your home state with
the Democrats who have fled. I know that's a state
legislature issue because wondering if you could speak to that
and what you think the resolution of this is going
to end up being. For a lot of people. It's
a kind of a maybe not a shock, but there's
(02:47):
a prize to hear. The democrats plan is to just
flee the state, hang out in Illinois and not actually
do the business of the people. What's going on there
with these Texas Democrats.
Speaker 4 (02:57):
Well, it's certainly on Texan. In Texas, you don't cut
and run. When you have a difference of opinion or
a dispute, you work it out. And unfortunately we have
House Democrats here and what I would call really a
hybrid situation. It is, you're right the state legislature, but
(03:17):
when they start crossing state lines, it then becomes potentially
a federal issue. And we're talking about redrawing congressional lines.
Obviously federal Congress those lines, and they are simply permitting
that from happening by defeating a qualm. And what I've
tried to do by engaging both Cash Cattel, the FBI director,
(03:41):
and Pambondi more recently, is to point out the potential
jeopardy that these individuals are in and this is not
something to be trifled with they need to come home
and do their job.
Speaker 1 (03:55):
When you look at the Democrat Party right now, the
entire opposition by and large seems to be coming from
federal district court judges who are trying to stand up
against Trump. There doesn't seem to be a coherent strategy
to oppose him. The party seems to be spiraling out
of control, as evidenced by Mom Donnie and the craziness
(04:18):
there in the Senate where you are, there are some
one hundred such backlogs on Trump appointees being able to
get through, How much of that resistance can be overcome,
What should happen? And where who is even the head
of the Democrat Party right now? Who do you even
feel like you're arguing against on a day to day
basis now.
Speaker 4 (04:38):
Well off, Mam Donnie seems to be the new champion
of the modern or the current Democratic Party. Bernie Sanders
and AOC certainly feel like they've been empowered. And Chuck
Schumer is running scared because he's afraid that AOC will
run against him in his next primary and he'll no
(04:59):
longer be the leader of the Democrats in the Senate.
But to your point, what we've seen is almost reflexive resistance.
I mean, typically at this point on the nominations, you
have a number of second and third tier nominees or
nominations that most people don't know a lot about, that
(05:22):
are confirmed by voice vote or by consent. But the
Democrats is simply resistant each and every Trump nominee for
no better reason than Trump nominated them. And we will
when we return after August in September. I'm part of
(05:42):
a small committee that the Majority leader has put together
to come up with proposed rule change where we will,
with or without Democratic support, change the rules and allow
the confirmation of this backlog of President Trump's nominees.
Speaker 3 (05:57):
Sandra, can you give us what would rules those changes
would be? What exactly just so we can know and
keep an eye out for this, because it feels like
the tactics of bad faith obstruction from Democrats have reached
a boiling point.
Speaker 4 (06:11):
They have they have Well, this really kind of goes
back to back when Harry Reid was Majority Leader and
he changed the Senate rules when it came to confirming
federal judges, where historically it had only been fifty votes,
he made it sixty votes. That was the so called
nuclear option. Where there was an overruling of a parliamentarian
(06:34):
and a new precedent set. I don't want to bore
your listeners, but we extended that in twenty seventeen when
Neil Gorsiz was being blocked by Democrats. It would be
a similar procedure where the majority leader would move to
take up these nominees as a block in block, as
(06:54):
they called, and let's say ten, twenty, forty to fifty
of them at a time, and then the parliamentarian would say, well,
that's not permitted under the Senate rules, and then there
would be an appeal to the members of the Senate
and fifty one would overrule a parliamentarian and sediment president.
That's down in the weeds way that this would happen,
(07:15):
but sometimes it's called the nuclear option because it's pretty unusual.
But this blockade of President Trump's nominees is simply intolerable,
and we're not going to tolerate it anymore.
Speaker 1 (07:29):
We're talking to Senator Corny and you are in the
middle of a primary battle. What can you tell us
about that race as it pertains to the Republican race,
and what are you hearing about Democrats and who's going
to run and what the expectations are on that side
of the ledger.
Speaker 4 (07:48):
Yes, I am in a contested primary. We have the
earliest primary, I believe in the country, which is March
the third, And I'm very proud of my support for
President Trump and his policies. We went back and actually
calculated it ninety nine two of the time a pro
Trump voting record. I think, better for worse. When you
(08:12):
run for office every six years, people kind of forget
about you and forget about what you've done, and so
we have to remind folks with advertising. But also the
attorney general, the current attorney general of our state, has
a record that will cause him to lose the general
election if in fact he is the nominee, and we'll
(08:35):
see hundreds of millions of dollars spent in a feudal
effort to try to save the Senate seat in Republican
hands if he's the nominee. So I've been talking to
President Trump up and on about this. I think he'd
like to see the race develop a little bit more,
and that's fine, that's his prerogative. But we're not waiting around,
(08:58):
and we're making our case to Republican primary voters. But
this would have consequences are beyond me and far beyond
the state because with people like Shared Brown getting into
the Senate race in Ohio, and we're seeing Democrats coming
up with recruiting a field, a competitive field of nominees.
(09:19):
The last thing we need to do is spend a
lot of money in a failing effort in Texas to
save a flawed candidate.
Speaker 3 (09:28):
What about Beto O'Rourke's future in Texas politics?
Speaker 2 (09:31):
Senator?
Speaker 3 (09:32):
Is he possibly going to be across? Let's just say
that you are the one who emerges from this primary
we were just talking about. Would you like it to
be Beto O'Rourke. What's your take on him? He's been
making some noises lately.
Speaker 4 (09:45):
He sure is, and Beanto is. You know, I have
a rule of thumb in politics and in elections, it's
three strikes and you're out. And Banto has run so
many times for the Senate or president and for governor,
and he is he's basically everybody knows about Beto and
(10:07):
he's simply out of consistent, out of step with what
I would call Texas mainstream voters. He could run maybe
for Senate or governor in California, but he sure is
out of step with Texans and he's not a viable candidate.
The guy who's actually announced he's intens to run at
this point is Colin olwd who lost to Ted Cruz
(10:29):
in twenty twenty four, but unfortunately the polling shows that
he would actually win if Ken Paxton is the nominee
in November.
Speaker 1 (10:41):
I know you're in the middle of a heated primary
and you probably don't like questions like this because did
they get asked all the time if you were not
the nominee, would you campaign for then? And maybe somebody
else is going to run? Who knows?
Speaker 3 (10:54):
Would you campaign for the Republican nominee or would you
sit out the entire election process?
Speaker 4 (11:01):
Well? I think, uh, I think if I'm not the nominee,
then I'll continue to serve in the Senate for another
year and a half or so and and do the
best I can to represent my constituents. M I'm not
going to speculate as to what what who the nominee
opimately will be. You're You're right. Other people could get
(11:23):
in the race. We could see Ken Paxton decide once
the polls the numbers close and it looks like he
can't win. We may see him decide to run for
Attorney General again, which he's done for two cycles, because
otherwise he's out of a job and out of politics
for the rest of his his career. So I really
(11:47):
don't think it would be useful for me to speculate
this to that. But traditionally, what I've done, I've always
done to support the nominee and my party, no matter
who it is.
Speaker 3 (11:59):
Then John Corny, appreciate you being with us, sir, from
the great state of Texas. We'll talk to you again.
Speaker 4 (12:05):
Thanks, guys, appreciate it.
Speaker 3 (12:07):
It's really we got we got to have on. We
had Paxton on to talk about Texas, but we got
to have him back. I didn't realize that, uh you know,
we got into the primary thing here, so we'll have
Paxton on to make his take too. This is gonna
be we We've got Kentucky, we have got Georgia, we
have got Texas.
Speaker 1 (12:24):
Just off the top of my head right now, big bruising.
It appears Republican primaries that are going to have to
play themselves out in the Senate side before we even
get into the general.
Speaker 3 (12:36):
And we don't we don't. As you know, we do
not as a rule endorse in a Republican primary. So
we'll put that offer out for for the opponent here
to come on as well.
Speaker 2 (12:47):
And make his case.
Speaker 3 (12:49):
But I was very curious to hear about the particularly Clay,
the the Senate confirmation stuff that's going on Center Cord
and spoke to that. Is it's a big deal, uh,
And that's why the Democrats doing everything they can to
stop it because every one of these judges is there forever.
I mean not forever, but you know their lifetime appointments,
so this is a big move. Every time you get
(13:10):
another judge on and they can make an enormous difference.
And then there's also the US attorneys who are not
getting through, so they're just trying to do whatever they
can to gum up the machinery of the Trump justice
side of the equation, and we got to put a
stop to that. When a natural disaster strikes, will you

Speaker 1 (14:34):
Find it in their podcast feed on the iHeartRadio app
or wherever you get your podcasts. Welcome back in Play
Travis buck Sexton Show. Our thanks to Senator John Cornyn.
We had Attorney General Ken Paxton on earlier this week,
and I just mentioned I mean, I think we can
reiterate it. There are going to be some big time
primary battles. I know there's three major candidates running in
(14:57):
the Kentucky Senate race. At least two running in Cornan
and Paxton in Texas. In Georgia right now, there are
three different Republicans running in the Senate. This is not
even getting into the governor's races and the primary season
everything else. We try to ensure that we give everybody
(15:18):
the opportunity to talk to you in the primary process.
So we're not perfect on that, but we had Ken
Paxton on earlier this week, and so Cornan is on
as well, and we ask both of them about the race.
They get the opportunity to tell you all over Texas
exactly why they think you should support them and why
their opponent is not the right choice. And so we
(15:42):
try to be fair about that and make sure that
we give equal opportunity. A lot of times we actually
stay out of even having congressional candidates on because those
races are so much smaller and there's so many people
running that it's very hard until the nominee is in
for us to have multiple people on. For instance, buck
(16:02):
my congress seat Tennessee seven where I live, the congressman
is leaving, Mark Green. We've had him on the show
quite a lot. I think there's eight guys running in
an October primary here in my district. We're not going
to have all eight of those guys on. So whoever
the nominee is, we will eventually have on. But it
(16:23):
gets hard.
Speaker 3 (16:24):
You guys can well understand, but in a battle that big,
that's going to be that costly in Texas or in
Kentucky or in Georgia for instance, in the Senate universe,
we want to make sure.
Speaker 2 (16:33):
That we have people on.
Speaker 3 (16:34):
So anyway, we got a couple of questions about that.
You can go, you know, make sure that we're on
top of that. But I think as soon as can
I forgot that's a male block. I forgot that we
had asked Paxton or you at you asked Paxton about
the primary yesterday. I know we just had him on.
So I think that's you know, that's fair enough for now.
As we get closer, we can have them both back
and they can make the pitch to you. We certainly
(16:56):
don't endorse anybody, but we also want to be fair
on these Senate races because I know we got our
Texan Our Texan audience is passionate about their Texan representation.
I will say that much. There are strong opinions, strong
opinions that are coming through. To be sure you want
to do some I was gonna pull a quick talk
back here. Yeah, let's do LLL here because it's responding
(17:16):
to what we just talked about.

Speaker 7 (19:17):
Hey, guys, it's Melissa and San Antonio, Texas. I wanted
to let you guys know that ten years ago I
went on a blind date with a young man who
took me to a very nice Italian restaurant and did
pay with a gift card. This past May, we celebrated
our eight year wedding anniversary. But trust me, I still
give him crap about paying with that gift card.
Speaker 3 (19:39):
So she kind of saved you there at the end, Clay,
but that's clearly going in the you know, maybe some
people doesn't bother happy anniversary.
Speaker 1 (19:48):

Speaker 3 (19:58):
This guy could sell men's bathing suits or something. If
you got to get with a lot of people went
away in if you missed it yesterday, I said, there's
no marriage that has ever occurred where a man paid
for the first date with a gift card at Chili's,
at Bottomless Wings, at at at any of the Buffalo
(20:19):
Wild Wings. So Melissa, congratulations, Maybe duck out and go
find the waiter with the card so she doesn't see.
But I actually would like to hear from Melissa about
what her thought process was on that first date, the
blind date, when he played with the gift.
Speaker 2 (20:35):

up on a scooter In nashville with a helmet, on

uhul van to pick a girl up on a, date
you clearly if you have a story for, it even
if you have to make the story. UP i think
that that's a good way to weed out whether somebody
(25:40):
has a sense of humor or. Not, Right, like that's
it's so to, me it's so crazy that it, Works
that's WHAT i would.
Speaker 2 (25:46):
SAY i just does he not have a?
Speaker 5 (25:48):
Car?
Speaker 2 (25:48):
Otherwise was he so.
Speaker 1 (25:50):
Scrimped or cramped for time that he wasn't able to
actually drive a normal? VEHICLE i have actually more questions about.
That it's very funny to get put picked. UP i,
MEAN i guess it's kind of the equivalent of getting
picked up in like a FED x, truck Which i'm
sure is a big no, no Because i'm sure you're
not supposed to take girls out on dates in a
ups or a FED x truck or a police. Car
(26:10):
did you did we talk about the guys at the
fire department who picked up the hot chicks and drove
them and did you get in?
Speaker 2 (26:17):
Trouble?
Speaker 3 (26:17):
RIGHT i, mean you, know if you're going to be a,
fireman you can't pick up a hot lady and give
her a ride on the fire. Truck come, on WHAT
i thought this Was? AMERICA i think it Was New York.
City the fire guys like we're it's Very by the,
way this is.
Speaker 2 (26:31):
Oh, Wow.
Speaker 3 (26:34):
Mike with the illegal use of the hose line, There
i'm not surprised at all that firemen would pick up
cute girls on the, street but evidently the girls were
posting about, it and it was a huge controversy In
New York.
Speaker 2 (26:48):
City BUT i.
Speaker 3 (26:49):
Think the fdny's got to get a carve. Out you,

of guys you've been hanging out with that don't pay
for the? Check and you KNOW i didn't marry that,
girl but it definitely scored me points no.
Speaker 2 (28:01):
Doubt and by the, way ied, It, oh go. AHEAD
i was also going to say THAT.
Speaker 1 (28:09):
I was gonna play, this but if you missed it.
Earlier buck has been challenged on his ability to hit
one hundred mile an. Hour served lots of people in
the comments not very very favorable.
Speaker 2 (28:22):
Here but it excuse, me excuse, me excuse, me excuse.
Speaker 3 (28:26):
Me the comments are about seventy thirty doubters versus. Supporters,
okay seventy percent, doubters which they're not good at math
or they have bad, eyesight but thirty percent are, like,
YEAH i know that's about one hundred miles an.
Speaker 2 (28:40):
Hour So i'm just SAYING J.
Speaker 3 (28:42):
J i got your back, Here lawrence In San. Antonio,
listen all, RIGHT i.
Speaker 5 (28:47):
Believe you can hit one on. Two my Name's. Lawrence
you played in? COLLEGE i played anyone who is skilled
if you look at the length of the arm and
the length of the tennis racket and they snap at
the top of the serve with brand new tennis balls
on a first. Serve, YES i believe you can hit
let's say one hundred and. Two that's my. Bet how
(29:09):
DO i send you five dollars for the? Bet this
would be.
Speaker 3 (29:13):
Fun how far do you think you could kick a field?
Goal have you ever thought about? THIS i MEAN i
was a reasonable high school soccer, player like.
Speaker 2 (29:21):
Reasonable not.
Speaker 3 (29:22):
Good so it was you, KNOW i didn't play in
Like olympic development, programs although one of my kids on
my one of the guys on my team. DID I
that's WHY i know what that. Is he was much
better than.
Speaker 4 (29:32):
Me.
Speaker 3 (29:32):
UH i don't know what's what's, like what's? Like what's
reasonable athleticism but not? Good that's WHERE i would put
myself up with kicking a football AT i am not
good at throwing a. Football i'm good at throwing a.
Baseball AND i shouldn't say. Good i'm reasonable throwing a,
BASEBALL i do not have a good, spiral that is.
What BECAUSE i never played, FOOTBALL i would think that,
you if you played soccer and you have decent, TECHNIQUE
(29:53):
i would think most decent guy soccer players would be
able to make a twenty ish yard field goal without
too much. Difficulty so THAT i WOULD i would have
THOUGHT i could hit. Thirty that would have been my.
Guest but maybe that's a little too. Far, NO i
think twenty five is probably a good over. UNDER i don't.
KNOW i haven't actually tried, this but if you have
(30:15):
decent foot contact and your and you have a decent foot,
STRENGTH i think twenty five yards is a very reasonable.
Potential you have video of you doing a field, goal
itturing the show is tringing the clay and buck middle
aged Man olympics.
Speaker 2 (30:29):
Here i've NEVER i don't know That i've tried a field.
Speaker 1 (30:32):
Goal my brother in law tore HIS i think he
tore his like, hamstring trying to prove well, no.
Speaker 3 (30:41):
That he could kick a thirty yard field. GOAL i mean,
again a lot of this stuff just comes down to.
STRETCHING i was mentioning because we were talking about your
one hundred mile an, hour AND i was talking about
throwing and a ton of people reached out to me
and they, said you, know when you're trying to do
that laser at a minor league baseball game or A
i think they still have him in a few major league,
(31:02):
teams just not like you're getting loose at. All so
you're just stepping in. Raw if you're not. Loose the
older you, get the more likely you are to pull.
Something somebody said to me, once AND i think it's
accurate that the definition of age is you go to
bed feeling great and wake up feeling like.
Speaker 1 (31:22):
Crap, Right, like you just wake up and your shoulders somehow,
hurts and you're, like ALL i did was get into, bed,
Right it's not LIKE i went and did a. TRIATHLON
i think there's a lot of truth to. That you
go to bed and you're, like, man that was a great.
DAY i feel. Fantastic let me go ahead and turn
off the. Lights next, morning you wake up and you're
just in. Pain that is the definition of getting old
and middle. Aged Man olympics is it's really easy to
(31:45):
hurt yourself if you have not gotten loose.
Speaker 3 (31:49):
Beforehand wasn't there the. Comedian who's the comedian who there's
video of. Him he tried to dunk AND i think he, like,
oh like he ripped his hamstring and broke his knee
at the same. TIME i mean He actually it's actually
harsh to watch because he really messed himself. Up so, yeah,
guys make sure you stretched stretch of those. Hammies it's very. Important.
(32:12):
LOOK i could think of presidents who have had to
save our, economy Like Franklin, roosevelt BUT i can't think
of one who's done more to stimulate new spending and
new investment here Than President. Trump this administration's efforts to
put a plan into action to grow our, economy they're.
Phenomenal it has a positive, effect and it will have
an effect on our national. Debt it's gonna benefit Every.
American but you have to take care of. Yourself you
(32:33):
have to plan for your own financial. Future can't leave
it up The trump in this. Administration saving and investing

your savings and retirement in, gold not just. Cash gold makes.

Welcome back in play Travis Buck Sexton Show.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
Appreciate all of you hanging out with us as we.
Speaker 1 (00:05):
Are rolling through the Wednesday edition of the program, Lots
going on. Trump has announced a large number of Kennedy
Center honors as he continues to remake Washington, d C.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
And Buck, this is a small thing.
Speaker 3 (00:23):
But when you and I were up in DC in June,
we were out on a boat.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
I'd never been out on a boat on the Potomac.
Very fun.
Speaker 1 (00:34):
Carlos and Hillary, your friends from Miami, took us out
and they said something interesting. They said as we were
going past, they were celebrating.
Speaker 2 (00:45):
It was June.
Speaker 1 (00:47):
They were celebrating America, not gay pride. And the colors
on the Kennedy Center were red, white and blue, and
it was absolutely fantastic. And I think it is emblematic
of the cultural shift that we have seen. And I
bet Senator John Cornin of Texas has certainly noticed that
cultural shift as well. Let's start here. We've been talking
(01:09):
a great deal since Monday's press conference about the fact
that President Trump is trying to make DC safer. You
have spent a lot of time in DC. Is the
city safe? Should it be safer. Can you believe that
Democrats have decided that they're going to attack Trump on
trying to limit the number of murders happening in our
nation's capital.
Speaker 4 (01:30):
Well, no, thanks for having me. First of all, that
you know, the District of Columbia is not safe and juveniles,
juvenile offenders basically have a free hand because under current
City Council and US Attorney or i should City Attorney
General of DC, juveniles basically are not arrested and incarcerated
(01:55):
even though they are effectively adults. That's one of the
reasons I was very happy to support Jeanine Piro as
the new US Attorney for the District of Columbia. And
I think President Trump's efforts hopefully will restore law and
order to the nation's capital, which happens to have a
whole lot of people come across the country and around
(02:16):
the world come visit our great nation's capital, and hopefully
this will make things safer for them as well.
Speaker 3 (02:25):
Senator Corny, and we've been talking a fair bit on
the show about what's going on your home state with
the Democrats who have fled. I know that's a state
legislature issue because wondering if you could speak to that
and what you think the resolution of this is going
to end up being. For a lot of people. It's
a kind of a maybe not a shock, but there's
(02:47):
a prize to hear. The democrats plan is to just
flee the state, hang out in Illinois and not actually
do the business of the people. What's going on there
with these Texas Democrats.
Speaker 4 (02:57):
Well, it's certainly on Texan. In Texas, you don't cut
and run. When you have a difference of opinion or
a dispute, you work it out. And unfortunately we have
House Democrats here and what I would call really a
hybrid situation. It is, you're right the state legislature, but
(03:17):
when they start crossing state lines, it then becomes potentially
a federal issue. And we're talking about redrawing congressional lines.
Obviously federal Congress those lines, and they are simply permitting
that from happening by defeating a qualm. And what I've
tried to do by engaging both Cash Cattel, the FBI director,
(03:41):
and Pambondi more recently, is to point out the potential
jeopardy that these individuals are in and this is not
something to be trifled with they need to come home
and do their job.
Speaker 1 (03:55):
When you look at the Democrat Party right now, the
entire opposition by and large seems to be coming from
federal district court judges who are trying to stand up
against Trump. There doesn't seem to be a coherent strategy
to oppose him. The party seems to be spiraling out
of control, as evidenced by Mom Donnie and the craziness
(04:18):
there in the Senate where you are, there are some
one hundred such backlogs on Trump appointees being able to
get through, How much of that resistance can be overcome,
What should happen? And where who is even the head
of the Democrat Party right now? Who do you even
feel like you're arguing against on a day to day
basis now.
Speaker 4 (04:38):
Well off, Mam Donnie seems to be the new champion
of the modern or the current Democratic Party. Bernie Sanders
and AOC certainly feel like they've been empowered. And Chuck
Schumer is running scared because he's afraid that AOC will
run against him in his next primary and he'll no
(04:59):
longer be the leader of the Democrats in the Senate.
But to your point, what we've seen is almost reflexive resistance.
I mean, typically at this point on the nominations, you
have a number of second and third tier nominees or
nominations that most people don't know a lot about, that
(05:22):
are confirmed by voice vote or by consent. But the
Democrats is simply resistant each and every Trump nominee for
no better reason than Trump nominated them. And we will
when we return after August in September. I'm part of
(05:42):
a small committee that the Majority leader has put together
to come up with proposed rule change where we will,
with or without Democratic support, change the rules and allow
the confirmation of this backlog of President Trump's nominees.
Speaker 3 (05:57):
Sandra, can you give us what would rules those changes
would be? What exactly just so we can know and
keep an eye out for this, because it feels like
the tactics of bad faith obstruction from Democrats have reached
a boiling point.
Speaker 4 (06:11):
They have they have Well, this really kind of goes
back to back when Harry Reid was Majority Leader and
he changed the Senate rules when it came to confirming
federal judges, where historically it had only been fifty votes,
he made it sixty votes. That was the so called
nuclear option. Where there was an overruling of a parliamentarian
(06:34):
and a new precedent set. I don't want to bore
your listeners, but we extended that in twenty seventeen when
Neil Gorsiz was being blocked by Democrats. It would be
a similar procedure where the majority leader would move to
take up these nominees as a block in block, as
(06:54):
they called, and let's say ten, twenty, forty to fifty
of them at a time, and then the parliamentarian would say, well,
that's not permitted under the Senate rules, and then there
would be an appeal to the members of the Senate
and fifty one would overrule a parliamentarian and sediment president.
That's down in the weeds way that this would happen,
(07:15):
but sometimes it's called the nuclear option because it's pretty unusual.
But this blockade of President Trump's nominees is simply intolerable,
and we're not going to tolerate it anymore.
Speaker 1 (07:29):
We're talking to Senator Corny and you are in the
middle of a primary battle. What can you tell us
about that race as it pertains to the Republican race,
and what are you hearing about Democrats and who's going
to run and what the expectations are on that side
of the ledger.
Speaker 4 (07:48):
Yes, I am in a contested primary. We have the
earliest primary, I believe in the country, which is March
the third, And I'm very proud of my support for
President Trump and his policies. We went back and actually
calculated it ninety nine two of the time a pro
Trump voting record. I think, better for worse. When you
(08:12):
run for office every six years, people kind of forget
about you and forget about what you've done, and so
we have to remind folks with advertising. But also the
attorney general, the current attorney general of our state, has
a record that will cause him to lose the general
election if in fact he is the nominee, and we'll
(08:35):
see hundreds of millions of dollars spent in a feudal
effort to try to save the Senate seat in Republican
hands if he's the nominee. So I've been talking to
President Trump up and on about this. I think he'd
like to see the race develop a little bit more,
and that's fine, that's his prerogative. But we're not waiting around,
(08:58):
and we're making our case to Republican primary voters. But
this would have consequences are beyond me and far beyond
the state because with people like Shared Brown getting into
the Senate race in Ohio, and we're seeing Democrats coming
up with recruiting a field, a competitive field of nominees.
(09:19):
The last thing we need to do is spend a
lot of money in a failing effort in Texas to
save a flawed candidate.
Speaker 3 (09:28):
What about Beto O'Rourke's future in Texas politics?
Speaker 2 (09:31):
Senator?
Speaker 3 (09:32):
Is he possibly going to be across? Let's just say
that you are the one who emerges from this primary
we were just talking about. Would you like it to
be Beto O'Rourke. What's your take on him? He's been
making some noises lately.
Speaker 4 (09:45):
He sure is, and Beanto is. You know, I have
a rule of thumb in politics and in elections, it's
three strikes and you're out. And Banto has run so
many times for the Senate or president and for governor,
and he is he's basically everybody knows about Beto and
(10:07):
he's simply out of consistent, out of step with what
I would call Texas mainstream voters. He could run maybe
for Senate or governor in California, but he sure is
out of step with Texans and he's not a viable candidate.
The guy who's actually announced he's intens to run at
this point is Colin olwd who lost to Ted Cruz
(10:29):
in twenty twenty four, but unfortunately the polling shows that
he would actually win if Ken Paxton is the nominee
in November.
Speaker 1 (10:41):
I know you're in the middle of a heated primary
and you probably don't like questions like this because did
they get asked all the time if you were not
the nominee, would you campaign for then? And maybe somebody
else is going to run? Who knows?
Speaker 3 (10:54):
Would you campaign for the Republican nominee or would you
sit out the entire election process?
Speaker 4 (11:01):
Well? I think, uh, I think if I'm not the nominee,
then I'll continue to serve in the Senate for another
year and a half or so and and do the
best I can to represent my constituents. M I'm not
going to speculate as to what what who the nominee
opimately will be. You're You're right. Other people could get
(11:23):
in the race. We could see Ken Paxton decide once
the polls the numbers close and it looks like he
can't win. We may see him decide to run for
Attorney General again, which he's done for two cycles, because
otherwise he's out of a job and out of politics
for the rest of his his career. So I really
(11:47):
don't think it would be useful for me to speculate
this to that. But traditionally, what I've done, I've always
done to support the nominee and my party, no matter
who it is.
Speaker 3 (11:59):
Then John Corny, appreciate you being with us, sir, from
the great state of Texas. We'll talk to you again.
Speaker 4 (12:05):
Thanks, guys, appreciate it.
Speaker 3 (12:07):
It's really we got we got to have on. We
had Paxton on to talk about Texas, but we got
to have him back. I didn't realize that, uh you know,
we got into the primary thing here, so we'll have
Paxton on to make his take too. This is gonna
be we We've got Kentucky, we have got Georgia, we
have got Texas.
Speaker 1 (12:24):
Just off the top of my head right now, big bruising.
It appears Republican primaries that are going to have to
play themselves out in the Senate side before we even
get into the general.
Speaker 3 (12:36):
And we don't we don't. As you know, we do
not as a rule endorse in a Republican primary. So
we'll put that offer out for for the opponent here
to come on as well.
Speaker 2 (12:47):
And make his case.
Speaker 3 (12:49):
But I was very curious to hear about the particularly Clay,
the the Senate confirmation stuff that's going on Center Cord
and spoke to that. Is it's a big deal, uh,
And that's why the Democrats doing everything they can to
stop it because every one of these judges is there forever.
I mean not forever, but you know their lifetime appointments,
so this is a big move. Every time you get
(13:10):
another judge on and they can make an enormous difference.
And then there's also the US attorneys who are not
getting through, so they're just trying to do whatever they
can to gum up the machinery of the Trump justice
side of the equation, and we got to put a
stop to that. When a natural disaster strikes, will you

We had Attorney General Ken Paxton on earlier this week,
and I just mentioned I mean, I think we can
reiterate it. There are going to be some big time
primary battles. I know there's three major candidates running in
(14:57):
the Kentucky Senate race. At least two running in Cornan
and Paxton in Texas. In Georgia right now, there are
three different Republicans running in the Senate. This is not
even getting into the governor's races and the primary season
everything else. We try to ensure that we give everybody
(15:18):
the opportunity to talk to you in the primary process.
So we're not perfect on that, but we had Ken
Paxton on earlier this week, and so Cornan is on
as well, and we ask both of them about the race.
They get the opportunity to tell you all over Texas
exactly why they think you should support them and why
their opponent is not the right choice. And so we
(15:42):
try to be fair about that and make sure that
we give equal opportunity. A lot of times we actually
stay out of even having congressional candidates on because those
races are so much smaller and there's so many people
running that it's very hard until the nominee is in
for us to have multiple people on. For instance, buck
(16:02):
my congress seat Tennessee seven where I live, the congressman
is leaving, Mark Green. We've had him on the show
quite a lot. I think there's eight guys running in
an October primary here in my district. We're not going
to have all eight of those guys on. So whoever
the nominee is, we will eventually have on. But it
(16:23):
gets hard.
Speaker 3 (16:24):
You guys can well understand, but in a battle that big,
that's going to be that costly in Texas or in
Kentucky or in Georgia for instance, in the Senate universe,
we want to make sure.
Speaker 2 (16:33):
That we have people on.
Speaker 3 (16:34):
So anyway, we got a couple of questions about that.
You can go, you know, make sure that we're on
top of that. But I think as soon as can
I forgot that's a male block. I forgot that we
had asked Paxton or you at you asked Paxton about
the primary yesterday. I know we just had him on.
So I think that's you know, that's fair enough for now.
As we get closer, we can have them both back
and they can make the pitch to you. We certainly
(16:56):
don't endorse anybody, but we also want to be fair
on these Senate races because I know we got our
Texan Our Texan audience is passionate about their Texan representation.
I will say that much. There are strong opinions, strong
opinions that are coming through. To be sure you want
to do some I was gonna pull a quick talk
back here. Yeah, let's do LLL here because it's responding
(17:16):
to what we just talked about.
Speaker 5 (17:18):
Ll clay buck love.
Speaker 6 (17:21):
You guys, tell you what they want me to quit
going to a Mexican restaurant. Mexican people going to suffer
all my friends, my Hispanic friends, just like canceling the
All Star Game in Atlanta, who suffered all the black
folks that are trying to work that game.
Speaker 3 (17:36):
He's right when you tell people, hey, don't go support
the businesses of Mexican Hispanic minority businesses, you're telling on yourself.
These white women left wingers with their broken brains. We'll
play a ton of your talkbacks. We got some fabulous
ones when we come back. But in the meantime, look,
we want to make sure that you're safe and as

rack them and stack them here and get your voices

Speaker 2 (19:03):
We have it all here.
Speaker 3 (19:04):
We cover all the things on Clay and book. This
is a an all of the above show and we
have Let's start with Melissa. This is AA Melissa in
San Antonio who listens on the Great Wai play it.
Speaker 7 (19:17):
Hey, guys, it's Melissa and San Antonio, Texas. I wanted
to let you guys know that ten years ago I
went on a blind date with a young man who
took me to a very nice Italian restaurant and did
pay with a gift card. This past May, we celebrated
our eight year wedding anniversary. But trust me, I still
give him crap about paying with that gift card.
Speaker 3 (19:39):
So she kind of saved you there at the end, Clay,
but that's clearly going in the you know, maybe some
people doesn't bother happy anniversary.
Speaker 1 (19:48):
Melissa overlooked it. She overlooked it. Hey, by the way,
if you're really.
Speaker 3 (19:53):
This guy like this guy probably had abs. This guy
probably looked like like Ali's husband, Like you.
Speaker 4 (19:57):
Know what I mean.
Speaker 3 (19:58):
This guy could sell men's bathing suits or something. If
you got to get with a lot of people went
away in if you missed it yesterday, I said, there's
no marriage that has ever occurred where a man paid
for the first date with a gift card at Chili's,
at Bottomless Wings, at at at any of the Buffalo
(20:19):
Wild Wings. So Melissa, congratulations, Maybe duck out and go
find the waiter with the card so she doesn't see.
But I actually would like to hear from Melissa about
what her thought process was on that first date, the
blind date, when he played with the gift.
Speaker 2 (20:35):
I'm telling you he.
Speaker 3 (20:35):
Had some he had some magic something going on there.
There was an X factor that this guy brought to
the table. I mean, Clay, was he six'? Three was
he six y? Four we all know some of, these
some of these. Ladies the height thing WHICH i personally don't,
understand and that WHENEVER i said this was because you're
so short, people someone came up to. Me, actually no
one person came up to me In. Highlands so, like
(20:58):
you'o much taller THAN i thought you'd.
Speaker 4 (20:59):
BE i look really.
Speaker 2 (21:00):
Short well what is?
Speaker 3 (21:01):
This they've said it to you, Too clay AND i
and they didn't pick us for this. Reason put us.
Together we are both six feet. Tall we are not
lying to. You you can stand us back to. BACK
i mean you Know clay might be like like an
eighth of an inch taller or.
Speaker 2 (21:15):
Something we are both six feet. Tall uh and and it's,
like but people are shocked by, this WHICH i don't.
Speaker 3 (21:20):
Know my favorite is my wife is five to two
AND i, said IF i were five to, eight would
you have dated?
Speaker 2 (21:26):
Me she, said probably. NOT i Know Oka.
Speaker 3 (21:28):
CARRIE'S i think five to, Three, honey how tall are?
YOU i think she's five to? Three maybe five to?
Four and she also is, like you, were, LIKE i just.
WAS i just was trn off for the amusement. Park
you know WHAT i? MEAN i just made the. Cut all,
Right let's get to Uh dustin From, Maricopa. Arizona listens
on KFY. I this is Bb.
Speaker 8 (21:48):
Hey clay And Buck dustin From, Americaopa. Arizona Hey, clay
you should put a poll up On twitter or x
and see which one's. Worse using a gift certificate for
your first date or showing up on a date on
an e scooter like the Bucksta.
Speaker 3 (22:06):
CAN i just soon tell Me New York? City how
often do people go to dates on e? SCOOTERS i
honestly have no. Idea, well why are we living Against
New York city there's the eatquinters all Over miami In.
Okay no one In nashville would show up for a
gate for a gate for a date on AN e
scooter and have any success in life at. All SO
(22:27):
i think it has to be a city that is
compact where people. REGULARLY i don't know how often people
show up on. Scooters like IF i were, meeting if
you put out that, Poll i'll just SAY i.
Speaker 2 (22:39):
It could go either way for.
Speaker 3 (22:40):
ME i think probably scooter is a little. Worse BUT
i think it would be like a fifty five to
forty five pole.
Speaker 1 (22:46):
Situation IF i had a buddy AND i was, Like,
hey let's go meet for a beer and he showed
up on a scooter In nashville with a helmet, on
he would never hear the end of it from.
Speaker 3 (22:57):
ME i think he would just immediately turn around and,
LEE i wasn't wearing a helmet because helmets don't fit
my giant. Head so don't worry about, that all, Right
there's no helmet with my eat. Scooter, uh just to be,
safe that's. TRUE Cc debbie From Long, Beach california listens
on keib The.
Speaker 2 (23:13):
Patriot what's going? On let's play It hi cleaning.
Speaker 9 (23:16):
Back this Is debbie From Long beach about the gift
certificate on the first date at a. Restaurant it wouldn't
bother me at, all BECAUSE i would look for so
many other things besides how he. PAID i would look
for did he hold my chair for? Me did he
open my car? Door did he chew with his mouth?
(23:36):
Closed was he? Sweet was he? Funny did he have
a good sense of? Humor so many more things than
how he?
Speaker 3 (23:43):
Paid CAN i Say debbie could do voiceover? Work debbie
has an unbelievable. Voice she sounds like somebody, who, yeah
legit could be a voice. Actor maybe she. Is she's
out In, California frank In, Columbia South, Carolina Game. Country
what you?
Speaker 10 (24:00):
Got my wife And i's first date was for coffee
and hers was free BECAUSE i whipped out my five
punches and you get a free cup of coffee. Card so,
yeah on our very first. Date, no my wife's coffee
was free and so but it was almost.
Speaker 2 (24:19):
Amazing the punch.
Speaker 3 (24:23):
Card you're a girl on the first date and you
pulled out your coffee club punch. Card Rank can we just?
Say can we just, Say, frank you're a. Champion obviously
you won the. Race you've got your lovely wife and
uh But i'm telling, you, man you you you stepped
into that, race uh with with a satchel of rocks
on your.
Speaker 2 (24:41):
Back, man that's not an easy one to pull. Off
so good on.
Speaker 3 (24:43):
You can you imagine pulling out the punch. Card you're
not even gonna throw down the four dollars for her
cup of. Coffee you're, like, hey it's buy, one get one, free.
BABE i just, WOW i can't believe that.
Speaker 2 (24:56):
Worked, err, great, Great yeah play.
Speaker 11 (24:59):
It other in law took a date out using a
home depot rental truck for, delivery and you picked her
up and they went on her. Date but he was
only allowed to use it for seventy five, minutes so
apparently the date was kind of cut.
Speaker 2 (25:16):
Short CAN i Just i'm gonna throw something out.
Speaker 3 (25:19):
THERE i actually think that this IS i wouldn't view
this as a negative if you leaned into it and
you made it a conversation, Piece cause it's so crazy
that it's. Funny like if you showed up in a
uhul van to pick a girl up on a, date
you clearly if you have a story for, it even
if you have to make the story. UP i think
that that's a good way to weed out whether somebody
(25:40):
has a sense of humor or. Not, Right, like that's
it's so to, me it's so crazy that it, Works
that's WHAT i would.
Speaker 2 (25:46):
SAY i just does he not have a?
Speaker 5 (25:48):
Car?
Speaker 2 (25:48):
Otherwise was he so.
Speaker 1 (25:50):
Scrimped or cramped for time that he wasn't able to
actually drive a normal? VEHICLE i have actually more questions about.
That it's very funny to get put picked. UP i,
MEAN i guess it's kind of the equivalent of getting
picked up in like a FED x, truck Which i'm
sure is a big no, no Because i'm sure you're
not supposed to take girls out on dates in a
ups or a FED x truck or a police. Car
(26:10):
did you did we talk about the guys at the
fire department who picked up the hot chicks and drove
them and did you get in?
Speaker 2 (26:17):
Trouble?
Speaker 3 (26:17):
RIGHT i, mean you, know if you're going to be a,
fireman you can't pick up a hot lady and give
her a ride on the fire. Truck come, on WHAT
i thought this Was? AMERICA i think it Was New York.
City the fire guys like we're it's Very by the,
way this is.
Speaker 2 (26:31):
Oh, Wow.
Speaker 3 (26:34):
Mike with the illegal use of the hose line, There
i'm not surprised at all that firemen would pick up
cute girls on the, street but evidently the girls were
posting about, it and it was a huge controversy In
New York.
Speaker 2 (26:48):
City BUT i.
Speaker 3 (26:49):
Think the fdny's got to get a carve. Out you,
know if she's like a solid seven or, above she
gets a free ride to where she.
Speaker 2 (26:55):
Has to go her next.
Speaker 3 (26:56):
DESTINATION i don't think that's a big, deal but, yeah
they got in trouble for. That when gig Listener jeff From, MINNESOTA.
Speaker 12 (27:03):
I can see it, Now Dana white HOSTING ufc on
the lawn of The White house with an opening bout
Of buck schooling the sixty six year old in.
Speaker 2 (27:13):
Tennis let's get it. Rolling it was, very very.
Speaker 3 (27:18):
Funny yesterday a sixty six year old called Out bucks.
Tennis by the, way we got one. More this is
actually good.
Speaker 1 (27:24):
ADVICE i think always pay if you are a man
listening to us right now and you go out for
a first. Date and by the, way if you're a
woman listening to us and the guy's, like, hey let's
split run as fast as you can in the opposite.
Direction that is not a dude you want to be.
With he might as well be wearing a male FEMINIST t.
Shirt TODD ff had this to, Say.
Speaker 13 (27:45):
Hey, GUYS i once took a girl out and she
tried to split the check AND i picked it, up
looked her straight in the face and, said what kind
of guys you've been hanging out with that don't pay
for the? Check and you KNOW i didn't marry that,
girl but it definitely scored me points no.
Speaker 2 (28:01):
Doubt and by the, way ied, It, oh go. AHEAD
i was also going to say THAT.
Speaker 1 (28:09):
I was gonna play, this but if you missed it.
Earlier buck has been challenged on his ability to hit
one hundred mile an. Hour served lots of people in
the comments not very very favorable.
Speaker 2 (28:22):
Here but it excuse, me excuse, me excuse, me excuse.
Speaker 3 (28:26):
Me the comments are about seventy thirty doubters versus. Supporters,
okay seventy percent, doubters which they're not good at math
or they have bad, eyesight but thirty percent are, like,
YEAH i know that's about one hundred miles an.
Speaker 2 (28:40):
Hour So i'm just SAYING J.
Speaker 3 (28:42):
J i got your back, Here lawrence In San. Antonio,
listen all, RIGHT i.
Speaker 5 (28:47):
Believe you can hit one on. Two my Name's. Lawrence
you played in? COLLEGE i played anyone who is skilled
if you look at the length of the arm and
the length of the tennis racket and they snap at
the top of the serve with brand new tennis balls
on a first. Serve, YES i believe you can hit
let's say one hundred and. Two that's my. Bet how
(29:09):
DO i send you five dollars for the? Bet this
would be.
Speaker 3 (29:13):
Fun how far do you think you could kick a field?
Goal have you ever thought about? THIS i MEAN i
was a reasonable high school soccer, player like.
Speaker 2 (29:21):
Reasonable not.
Speaker 3 (29:22):
Good so it was you, KNOW i didn't play in
Like olympic development, programs although one of my kids on
my one of the guys on my team. DID I
that's WHY i know what that. Is he was much
better than.
Speaker 4 (29:32):
Me.
Speaker 3 (29:32):
UH i don't know what's what's, like what's? Like what's
reasonable athleticism but not? Good that's WHERE i would put
myself up with kicking a football AT i am not
good at throwing a. Football i'm good at throwing a.
Baseball AND i shouldn't say. Good i'm reasonable throwing a,
BASEBALL i do not have a good, spiral that is.
What BECAUSE i never played, FOOTBALL i would think that,
you if you played soccer and you have decent, TECHNIQUE
(29:53):
i would think most decent guy soccer players would be
able to make a twenty ish yard field goal without
too much. Difficulty so THAT i WOULD i would have
THOUGHT i could hit. Thirty that would have been my.
Guest but maybe that's a little too. Far, NO i
think twenty five is probably a good over. UNDER i don't.
KNOW i haven't actually tried, this but if you have
(30:15):
decent foot contact and your and you have a decent foot,
STRENGTH i think twenty five yards is a very reasonable.
Potential you have video of you doing a field, goal
itturing the show is tringing the clay and buck middle
aged Man olympics.
Speaker 2 (30:29):
Here i've NEVER i don't know That i've tried a field.
Speaker 1 (30:32):
Goal my brother in law tore HIS i think he
tore his like, hamstring trying to prove well, no.
Speaker 3 (30:41):
That he could kick a thirty yard field. GOAL i mean,
again a lot of this stuff just comes down to.
STRETCHING i was mentioning because we were talking about your
one hundred mile an, hour AND i was talking about
throwing and a ton of people reached out to me
and they, said you, know when you're trying to do
that laser at a minor league baseball game or A
i think they still have him in a few major league,
(31:02):
teams just not like you're getting loose at. All so
you're just stepping in. Raw if you're not. Loose the
older you, get the more likely you are to pull.
Something somebody said to me, once AND i think it's
accurate that the definition of age is you go to
bed feeling great and wake up feeling like.
Speaker 1 (31:22):
Crap, Right, like you just wake up and your shoulders somehow,
hurts and you're, like ALL i did was get into, bed,
Right it's not LIKE i went and did a. TRIATHLON
i think there's a lot of truth to. That you
go to bed and you're, like, man that was a great.
DAY i feel. Fantastic let me go ahead and turn
off the. Lights next, morning you wake up and you're
just in. Pain that is the definition of getting old
and middle. Aged Man olympics is it's really easy to
(31:45):
hurt yourself if you have not gotten loose.
Speaker 3 (31:49):
Beforehand wasn't there the. Comedian who's the comedian who there's
video of. Him he tried to dunk AND i think he, like,
oh like he ripped his hamstring and broke his knee
at the same. TIME i mean He actually it's actually
harsh to watch because he really messed himself. Up so, yeah,
guys make sure you stretched stretch of those. Hammies it's very. Important.
(32:12):
LOOK i could think of presidents who have had to
save our, economy Like Franklin, roosevelt BUT i can't think
of one who's done more to stimulate new spending and
new investment here Than President. Trump this administration's efforts to
put a plan into action to grow our, economy they're.
Phenomenal it has a positive, effect and it will have
an effect on our national. Debt it's gonna benefit Every.
American but you have to take care of. Yourself you
(32:33):
have to plan for your own financial. Future can't leave
it up The trump in this. Administration saving and investing
and long term planning is. Critical so having some of
your savings and retirement in, gold not just. Cash gold makes.
Sense gold has grown forty percent in value in the last.
Year imagine if you converted some of your cash just
some of your cash gold a year. Ago if you
