00:01:08.860 Brought to you by Navy Federal Credit Union.
00:01:11.680 Welcome, everybody, to the Tuesday edition of the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton show.
00:01:18.260 I'm here in NYC in studio with the one and only Clay Travis.
00:01:23.040 So we are excited to talk to you about all the news of the day.
00:01:27.060 We managed to walk the streets of a very, very hot New York City.
00:01:34.480 Kami Mamdani doing his thing here.
00:01:37.320 We did not get arrested, though, Clay.
00:01:38.920 That was nice.
00:01:39.780 We did not get thrown in the gulag.
00:01:41.380 So far.
00:01:41.980 So far.
00:01:42.500 It's early.
00:01:42.960 We're okay.
00:01:44.060 But walking around here, we're getting a sense of what's going on in the city.
00:01:47.400 We have some updates for you on a whole bunch of things.
00:01:50.780 Obviously, the Strait of Hormuz-Iran situation.
00:01:53.600 We're going to bring you to the latest on that.
00:01:55.180 It is an ongoing story that's going to have a lot of feeling of repetition, a lot of wash, rinse, repeat going on, because that is the situation.
00:02:05.400 Trump right now is in the Oval Office as we speak to you, meeting with Iraqi Prime Minister Ali al-Zaidi, and he is talking about a whole range of things, mostly, obviously, Iraq-related.
00:02:19.600 and will bring you the highlights of that conversation here
00:02:23.420 as they are coming out.
00:02:25.100 As I said, in real time, that discussion is underway.
00:02:29.360 Iraq is not doing great, but not doing terribly.
00:02:33.520 I think there's some glimmers of optimism, Clay.
00:02:37.340 It turns out it's doing, I think it's doing better at this stage
00:02:41.160 than a lot of people would think based upon how bad things were
00:02:45.500 for the many years not just of our full-scale military operations there but then of course
00:02:50.720 the rise of isis and everything else it's got the fifth largest oil reserves in the world 1.00
00:02:54.600 you know if they could just get some of the wackos to stop chopping people's heads off and 1.00
00:02:58.580 blowing up suicide vests like could be a nice place no doubt you know it could be a nice place 0.97
00:03:03.460 they don't have to do anything too crazy they just have to stop that from happening
00:03:06.620 and then just some other oh we have senator marsha blackburn will be with us uh of tennessee of
00:03:11.700 course and uh basically a lot of things we're going to be hitting on more on people upset about
00:03:17.020 ice because they they hate law and order and uh and western civilization and all these things
00:03:22.960 that's a discussion we will certainly get into uh some supreme court stuff play a lot of things but
00:03:28.580 we are both staying in hotels right now and just very briefly i will tell you my gripe
00:03:35.040 was in the getting to the hotel we're going to have the department of transportation
00:03:39.400 sean duffy on tomorrow i believe we had one of those tarmac delays when we when i came to new
00:03:45.820 york with carrie clay not based on weather not based on a mechanical issue just improper staffing
00:03:52.400 when we land so they they lack the staff to get us off the plane so we had to sit on the plane
00:03:59.360 that has landed that is a hundred feet from the gate for two hours because they don't have people
00:04:05.820 working at the airport to get us off the plane.
00:04:08.560 And I understand there are people that are...
00:04:10.200 One of the weirdest things that I see
00:04:11.800 are the people who are like,
00:04:13.380 stop complaining, drive if you want to fly.
00:04:16.080 It's like, you know, they had to pass a rule
00:04:18.540 so they wouldn't keep people in the tarmac
00:04:20.000 for like seven hours at a time.
00:04:22.000 And everybody was...
00:04:22.800 It's now a three-hour rule,
00:04:24.380 but I think there should be a specific after-landing rule
00:04:26.720 because it's one thing if you're waiting
00:04:28.060 for the ability to take off
00:04:29.540 and you can always touch back and get off the plane, right?
00:04:32.320 They don't have to wait three hours.
00:04:33.680 They can do that every hour.
00:04:34.680 I've been on planes where they've done that.
00:04:35.820 to hold you captive on the tarmac for up to three hours after you've landed is cruel and unusual
00:04:40.800 punishment and it's completely unacceptable and american airlines should be ashamed but this is
00:04:45.220 happening more and more and i want to talk to the department of transportation head about
00:04:49.520 why this is getting worse and how they're going to fix it i think it kind of builds and i know
00:04:55.200 many people out there are going to sign off on this a lot of things are not getting better so
00:05:03.540 positive i really do legitimately believe that self-driving cars are going to revolutionize
00:05:11.800 the way we travel in vehicles airline travel is getting worse the delays are getting more
00:05:17.620 substantial the number of people backed up at airports and much less significantly
00:05:23.400 other things were perfect and are now getting worse i'll give you an example
00:05:28.960 this morning you're going yes this morning i decide i'm you know it's 180 degrees in new york
00:05:35.620 city today so i was thinking hey i'll go out for a walk in the morning i'll check things out
00:05:41.480 and i come back and i can't figure out how to turn my shower on i don't know how many of you
00:05:49.600 have been in this situation for basically my entire life the shower was perfected you've
00:05:56.460 been squared away on the shower i feel very confident that i could turn a shower on i've
00:06:00.860 talked about the fact that lighting has also declined it used to be you flip a switch it
00:06:05.860 comes on it's easy to find the light switch it works flawlessly i have stumbled around in the
00:06:11.460 dark in apartments in hotel rooms in homes where i've stayed friends family homes trying to turn
00:06:18.300 a light on you can't turn lights on anymore and by the way when you do turn them on the bulb is
00:06:23.420 you can't even read like I'm one of the last people who evidently sits around and reads
00:06:27.600 newspapers I got three of them right now like sometimes I have to take the lampshade off and
00:06:32.340 basically hold it next to the newspaper you can't turn out figure out how to turn lights on showers
00:06:37.560 why do we need to design new shower implements there are certain elements I think of life that
00:06:46.420 we are all dealing with where the average quality of product is declining and the complexity is
00:06:52.220 increasing that is a bad combination i think airline travel is like that it feels to me like
00:06:58.840 airline travel and all of you out there know and people say well drive okay some places you can't
00:07:04.640 drive right if you need to be on the west coast and you're on the east coast unless you have a
00:07:09.620 whole week to be able to travel across the country there is one way to get there for work you're in
00:07:14.140 miami to get to new york city are you going to spend what is that a 20 hour drive this is like
00:07:19.320 my uh other uh gripe about the improper use of technology uh because it ties into this and you
00:07:26.520 notice it's where there's heavy regulation and people who say don't try to regulate the airlines
00:07:31.220 more for example it's one of the most heavy heavily regulated spaces already that exists
00:07:36.960 in america uh airlines also have been bailed out by the taxpayer twice in the 21st century and also
00:07:43.700 by the way a judge just basically shut down spirit airlines yes right i mean like they they
00:07:49.420 the government getting involved has actually made things so i just think it's funny these are the
00:07:52.940 same these are the people they're like weekend libertarians who are like just let their just let
00:07:57.340 the market decide the market's deciding like 10 of what's going on with airlines okay already
00:08:01.460 so maybe not allowing people to fester in a hot tube on the tarmac for hours and hours on end
00:08:07.100 because they don't want to pay for the full staffing to get people off the planes maybe
00:08:10.300 that's a rule that like we could live with added to the million other rules that are already in
00:08:13.800 existence but beyond that health care for example we were supposed to do this thing clay where we
00:08:18.800 filled out one time all of your health care information and then it would be everywhere
00:08:23.080 you go i end up filling it out again every time you go to any doctor anytime there's any health
00:08:28.400 issue that you have to address you end up filling out and now they make you do it on an ipad i don't
00:08:33.660 want to do it on an ipad the ipad never works properly like these are the things that should
00:08:38.400 be making it easier or better but fundamentally health care has also gotten more expensive
00:08:43.040 you're noticing a trend right what gets more expensive and worse things where the government
00:08:47.140 actually makes a huge portion of the decisions and it is not in fact market-based but then when
00:08:52.520 you try to make it better people like put the market well it's not really operating as a market
00:08:56.520 right now okay we're going to bring you the latest so we can talk more about that and i i appreciate
00:09:01.040 that uh secretary duffy says he'll join tomorrow to talk about it because i really am i really am
00:09:05.980 curious i mean i'm starting to i'm starting to turn into like i mean could i could i bike 300
00:09:10.420 miles like what are my options like what else could i do um but beyond that uh the trump
00:09:16.940 administration right now dealing with the situation and hormones let me give the latest on
00:09:20.680 this just so we can kind of set the table on it a bit uh because a lot of these conversations are
00:09:27.400 sounding like previous conversations about where things stand and this is now i guess a game of
00:09:35.140 chicken with the iranian regime i had a feeling this was going to happen here is what trump has
00:09:40.760 said on truth social as of this morning actually just uh like right before we came on on air
00:09:46.680 oil is flowing like never before thanks to the awesome power of the united states military
00:09:51.680 uh by far the strait of hormuz is open to all ship traffic except for iran and that is because 0.51
00:09:58.480 of their lying violent malicious leadership which is taking them down the path total destruction
00:10:03.660 will therefore have a full blockade,
00:10:06.160 but only on ships coming to and from Iranian ports
00:10:08.660 or carrying anything having to do with Iranian cargo.
00:10:11.380 Based on productive conversations with Middle East leadership,
00:10:14.780 I've decided to replace the 20% tax basically on those ships.
00:10:19.760 I'm now paraphrasing because I actually cut off the end of the sentence,
00:10:22.960 but the point here is he's saying,
00:10:24.820 Clay, we're going to get a lot of Middle East investment
00:10:26.360 to make up for the 20% we were going to take on the Iranian ships
00:10:28.840 to pay for the blockade.
00:10:30.880 That is the new element of this.
00:10:32.880 how are you feeling about let's just get into it just keeping these oil prices low going into the
00:10:39.220 midterms given that this isn't this is just going to be we're going to be having this conversation
00:10:42.320 i think in two weeks in two months it's cycled back up so the price of oil and gas as i'm talking
00:10:47.600 to all of you right now is 79 that's still within realm of where we were when everything started in
00:10:55.680 february which was 68 and change before we went into iran uh prices should still be coming down
00:11:03.200 i saw where the average uh cost of a gallon of gas is 385 uh positive news that came out um a little
00:11:10.340 bit earlier this morning inflation running at a 2.6 percent annual basis which was much better
00:11:17.040 than expectations as gas prices came back down in may uh overall core inflation which strips out
00:11:23.280 energy costs also came down to 2.6%. I'm optimistic about where we are economically as we speak right
00:11:32.900 now. Now, my advice to the president would be get things resolved sooner rather than later in the
00:11:39.760 short term with Iran and bring down gas prices for the midterms. And then if you feel like you
00:11:46.100 need to do other attacks, if you feel like you need to reach out in a substantial way to impact
00:11:52.340 what is going on in Iran, do that after the midterm voting in November. I am increasingly
00:11:58.800 optimistic about many of these different races in the battleground states. I think that Democrats
00:12:04.560 are overreaching. They're putting socialists in, including New York, where we are today,
00:12:09.460 where they just had three socialists wipe out much of the Democrat contingent here in the New York
00:12:15.740 City area. We certainly saw out in Colorado the same kind of thing happen. So the reality is I
00:12:22.720 think Iran is going to remain an irritant, but I'm not sure that they can do anything that is 0.99
00:12:30.680 substantial. Here's something positive, Buck. And again, this is thinking a little bit longer range. 1.00
00:12:35.720 I was reading this morning, getting ready for the show. Goldman Sachs, this is according to Axios,
00:12:41.500 has said there are seven pipeline and infrastructure projects currently under construction
00:12:48.320 planned or deemed feasible that would allow oil to bypass the straight entirely by the end of 28
00:12:56.240 so this is a couple years away 60 percent of all the oil and gas that moves through the
00:13:01.760 straight of Hormuz is not going to be moving through the straight of Hormuz based on this
00:13:05.960 And by the end of next year, 45 percent of this could go away.
00:13:11.960 Why is this significant?
00:13:13.700 Iran trying to say, hey, we can control the Strait of Hormuz is a little bit of Iranian leadership cutting their own throat economically here,
00:13:23.260 because a lot of people are going to say if there are risks associated with carrying oil and gas through the Strait of Hormuz,
00:13:29.200 let's just invest in alternative pathways.
00:13:31.640 Right now, around 20 percent of the oil and gas moves through the Strait of Hormuz.
00:13:35.640 By the end of twenty twenty eight, according to this report, it would be eight percent.
00:13:40.940 Then what real impact does Iran have on being able to control gas prices?
00:13:45.940 Not much of anything. So I do think the longer range process here is Iran having less and less ability to control the overall price of oil and gas, which delegitimizes even more that government.
00:14:00.180 That's a very good positive direction, longer term, short term, a lot of fluctuation, a lot of fluctuation. 0.96
00:14:07.040 That's a good a good way to put it.
00:14:08.920 Hopefully not so much in the markets that people get so ticked off that there is a real impact in the midterms against Republicans.
00:14:16.100 We will talk about that, though.
00:14:17.300 We will see where all of this is going.
00:14:20.120 July is National Grilling Month.
00:14:22.640 Oh, that makes sense.
00:14:24.180 We need to get you set up with the best steaks, burgers and chicken for that grilling experience.
00:14:27.760 You know, Clay, once I get back to Miami, the good news is my Good Ranchers box is there waiting.

00:17:02.440 Union. Welcome back in. Clay and Buck rolling through the Tuesday edition of the program. We
00:17:09.560 are both in New York City. President Trump talking to the media right now. We have a couple of cuts
00:17:16.340 as he is meeting with the prime minister of Iraq in the Oval Office.
00:17:21.660 Let's start here with Cut 31.
00:17:23.960 Buck, you were discussing what the impact of Iraq's ability
00:17:27.160 to potentially be producing more oil and gas.
00:17:31.220 This is Trump talking about that Cut 31.
00:17:33.540 Well, we don't think we need the military there anymore.
00:17:36.300 It's a very big operation.
00:17:39.940 And what we do have is the oil companies are all going in now
00:17:42.700 when they're doing partnerships with Iraq and they're getting along very well.
00:17:49.020 The relationship is a whole big relationship, but we don't need the military there.
00:17:52.580 We're there to help them. We're there to protect them if need be.
00:17:56.160 But we don't think that's going to be necessary.
00:17:58.020 And their primary, I consider an opponent, they might have considered a friend, 0.89
00:18:03.020 but I consider that an opponent was Iran, was a big burden on Iraq 0.99
00:18:09.040 because they were the bully of the Middle East, as you know. 0.94
00:18:12.700 And we were just talking about that, but they're not going to have that problem anymore because Iran has been very much destabilized and really their military powers, just a tiny fraction of what it was just four months ago.
00:18:29.200 OK, and then, Buck, we also have President Trump.
00:18:33.000 You mentioned the Strait of Hormuz.
00:18:35.100 Trump said we'll charge 20 percent.
00:18:37.480 I was just walking through that the alternative pathways are moving rapidly in the Middle East,
00:18:43.220 where the Strait of Hormuz is in the months and years ahead going to matter less and less.
00:18:47.820 But he's talking about what a arrangement on the Strait of Hormuz looked like.
00:18:51.900 He initially said a 20 percent fee.
00:18:53.820 Now he's talking about massive investments coming from Middle East nations in exchange for the U.S. guarding the Strait of Hormuz.
00:19:01.620 Here he is talking after multiple conversations with leaders in the Middle East cut 30.
00:19:05.940 You have Saudi Arabia, UAE, Qatar, Bahrain, and Kuwait, you know, primarily, and then others.
00:19:15.240 I spoke to all of them, and they would love to invest more money in the United States at record amounts.
00:19:22.120 and that would be very acceptable and this way there's no fee i don't like the concept of a fee
00:19:27.740 but at the same time it's not fair that we're protecting this straight for the entire world
00:19:32.760 for china and everyone i don't mind protecting it for china i don't mind protecting it for
00:19:37.720 anybody but it's unfair that we're not in somehow compensated and we've been doing this for many
00:19:42.500 years it's bothered me 25 years ago it bothered me during my first term i was doing things like
00:19:48.900 you have to invest in the united states and but by doing it that way there's no fee they're
00:19:54.580 investing and they're getting a return on their money and it's good but uh they're going to be
00:19:58.980 making massive investments into the united states and i like that much better buck i think the the
00:20:05.760 real kind of takeaway here is iran's leverage seems to be diminishing and we'll talk about this
00:20:12.360 uh as we continue to go forward and we should also talk about we come back maybe a bit the
00:20:18.400 The United States has been providing secret help to a lot of different ships
00:20:23.140 to be able to come through near the Strait of Hormuz on the Oman side.
00:20:29.540 And it appears that we are continuing to allow and provide that support to continue.
00:20:35.200 But President Trump speaking, and we will continue to monitor.
00:20:38.780 We will bring you more of that as it happens.
00:20:40.920 He's still with the Iraqi PM right now in the Oval Office.
00:20:44.660 These are the dog days of summer here in New York City.

00:22:45.520 We want to be all places for all people.
00:22:47.920 At the end of the first hour of the show,
00:22:50.160 Buck pulled up an advertisement for the new movie Supergirl.
00:22:55.300 Also known as a trailer.
00:22:56.800 Yes, advertisement trailer.
00:22:59.300 Supergirl has been out for a few weeks now.
00:23:01.900 They are trying to revitalize the DC Comics world.
00:23:07.240 inside of warner brothers and they've made a new superman and now they have made a new supergirl
00:23:15.460 buck played the video the movie is a disaster in terms of pure business we have a writer
00:23:23.960 at outkick who does a great job ian miller and he wrote that this movie is on track to lose
00:23:31.000 several hundred million dollars can we just take it take that in for a moment to lose
00:23:36.460 200 million dollars yes on a comic book movie should be seems like a level of malpractice 0.99
00:23:45.460 and professional stupidity that would get you banned from the industry forever i mean the 0.90
00:23:52.040 executives that green lit this how can they still have jobs after this like they should have jobs 0.99
00:23:59.960 They should just have jobs, you know, selling, like, lawn equipment somewhere.
00:24:05.120 I don't know.
00:24:05.620 They should not be green-lighting movie projects.
00:24:08.940 But I watched the trailer.
00:24:10.000 This is the fun part, of course.
00:24:11.760 Clay and I had a different reaction.
00:24:13.880 I watched it, and in my head I'm thinking,
00:24:15.820 this, you can tell with certainty, is the worst steaming pile of you-know-what of any movie
00:24:24.300 maybe I've seen a trailer for in years.
00:24:28.100 it's like a sassy i've never even seen this actress before also do you know who she is i've
00:24:33.220 never even heard of her i think her name is millie acock uh and i may be mispronouncing that i don't 0.99
00:24:38.000 know she and this is so let's start with the trailer and then i want to i'll analyze her
00:24:43.040 we're not gonna play the trailer no no no i'm saying you thought the trailer was the worst
00:24:46.980 thing ever you mr clay travis were like it doesn't look bad well i said it doesn't look that
00:24:52.520 The trailer of any movie should not look awful.
00:24:55.480 Here's my general perspective.
00:24:58.320 Having said that, as someone who has worked in media,
00:25:02.880 my concern with this movie would be,
00:25:06.760 I know biology on the left doesn't exist,
00:25:09.780 but in general, boys want to be bigger, stronger, and faster than they are.
00:25:15.780 The male aspiration is to be a superhero,
00:25:20.260 to be a great athlete to be able to you know well this is why the action movie genre of our youth
00:25:27.160 was so unbelievably popular i think almost entirely with guys it was watching men usually on
00:25:33.300 huge doses of steroids carry machine guns and defeat bad guys so they have tried to androgynize
00:25:40.580 superhero-dom and badassness such that and you talk about this that we're supposed to believe
00:25:48.780 a hundred pound girl is just going to beat up all these different guys. Now I don't buy it,
00:25:54.660 but also the bigger issue here is I don't think most women aspire to be superheroes like most 0.99
00:26:03.960 men do. Sports are more popular with men. That doesn't mean that women can't like sports.
00:26:09.720 Superhero movies are more popular with men. That doesn't mean that women can't like it too,
00:26:13.900 but the business side of these movies themselves barbie worked because a lot of women love barbie 1.00
00:26:22.680 right has there been a successful real superhero girl movie and some people are going to say black 0.96
00:26:29.900 widow clay wonder woman would be the only one wonder woman uh existed and and was done well
00:26:38.500 and seemed to hit the hit the stride right and maybe black widow but that i was going to say
00:26:43.400 that was a part of the Avengers canon so you're basically jumping in there I don't buy that by
00:26:48.060 and large there is a big marketplace for these movies and so I would have been skeptical to
00:26:53.340 invest hundreds of millions of dollars in this movie I would have been the executive who said
00:26:58.720 no here's what I think's going on Buck I think they would rather lose hundreds of millions of
00:27:03.560 dollars and have people in Hollywood know that they made the girl boss supergirl movie then they
00:27:09.920 would actually make money making movies that people like yes they're they're insulated at 1.00
00:27:14.780 some level from the stupidity and the professional incompetence that they display as long as they're 0.99
00:27:21.400 ideologically aligned they will still have the jobs will still be there for them they will still 1.00
00:27:27.160 get the funding because a lot of these studios and these huge conglomerates and these corporations
00:27:32.320 they make money on some things and they lose it on others willingly yes and in the creative
00:27:37.660 on the creative side of things that's absolutely the case when it comes to these movies i i wish
00:27:43.900 there were the same way on you know you have these betting markets now for different things
00:27:48.000 they should start having box office movie bet stuff you can do it did they have them now they
00:27:54.860 have it for this though uh because what you would be able to see is that everybody with a brain cell
00:28:01.500 knew this supergirl movie was going to absolutely tank and the fact that they spent hundreds of
00:28:07.100 millions of dollars on this is just flatly it's ideologically driven it's flatly insane
00:28:12.400 it looked horrible it looked like a video game and that's the other thing they've done the
00:28:16.360 movies clay they've ruined movies everything is like a cgi and it's all computer i actually think
00:28:22.980 in an era of a this is a little bit of a broader point but in an era of artificial intelligence
00:28:27.300 and people able to kind of make their own uh you know movie by just going into grok creative or
00:28:34.340 something movies that seem more just down to the human and authentic and well written are going to
00:28:41.520 do well and movies that are all about lasers and space aliens and everything blowing up i think
00:28:45.820 we're i think we've been inundated too much with that oh i i got a bunch of thoughts on all that
00:28:50.140 first of all this ties in with what you're saying the new mona remake and i may not moana or however
00:28:55.960 you pronounce that movie the disney remake with dwayne johnson the uh south pacific right it's
00:29:00.840 bombed and it's just a remake and evidently the ai and the cgi is a disastrous i mean he looks
00:29:08.220 ridiculous nobody's watching it it looks fake it's just a remake of the animated movie this
00:29:13.040 millie acock uh the supergirl is that really her name i think it's something like that everybody's 0.81
00:29:19.360 eating i think it's millie acock might be millie acock alcock he keeps saying acock it's alcock
00:29:26.840 Millie Alcock, not Acock
00:29:29.640 Acock, gotta be careful 0.99
00:29:31.180 So 1.00
00:29:33.200 Alcock 1.00
00:29:34.480 She insulted 0.98
00:29:36.900 Christians and dads in the run-up 0.99
00:29:39.880 To the movie too
00:29:41.060 That's a great idea right before your movie comes out
00:29:43.160 It's not only that they're making bad movies 1.00
00:29:45.660 It's that they have these moron 1.00
00:29:47.780 Actor and actresses 1.00
00:29:49.400 Who go out
00:29:50.600 If I were making a movie
00:29:52.380 That cost hundreds of millions of dollars
00:29:55.780 I would feel an obligation on behalf of everybody who worked on the movie to make that movie audience as big as possible.
00:30:04.660 I think they need to start writing into I saw you tweet this.
00:30:07.740 I've talked about it.
00:30:08.340 I think they need to start writing into these actor and actresses contracts. 1.00
00:30:11.740 If we decide that you're a moron in the promotion of this movie, we're going to take a lot of your money away because you are cutting the legs out of these films. 0.98
00:30:21.580 and let me say this too young washington i saw tommy laren tweet that it's a really good movie 0.98
00:30:29.060 i haven't seen it yet week two young washington made more movie more money than supergirl okay
00:30:35.740 i bet young washington has 120th if that maybe one 100th of the advertising budget to get people
00:30:45.000 aware that it exists also the production budget overall but this this is the point people want
00:30:51.380 good movies and good content content and and this isn't some uh unimportant thing the dominant
00:30:58.260 american art form of certainly i would say 1980 to the last to about 10 years ago the dominant
00:31:07.540 american art form globally and here was movies yeah there was nothing bigger than a big movie
00:31:12.400 in the culture yeah there were some big musical acts yeah there were some things that but a but
00:31:16.960 a huge movie was the thing to be a hollywood star in the 80s the 90s the early 2000s made you the
00:31:24.520 biggest celebrity really in the world yes there were some big sports celebrities but you know
00:31:28.380 nobody's more famous really than tom cruise i mean maybe michael jordan you get what i'm saying
00:31:32.300 there's there's a there's a level of um of peak movie that we reached and it has been nothing
00:31:39.260 but downhill for a while now and wokeness has played this a lot of this now the movies were
00:31:44.480 always the movie studios were always left wing but they were trying to make money and they were
00:31:48.140 trying to compete based upon box office results now a lot of this feels like clay it's an insulated
00:31:55.140 circuitry where they can make these terrible movies but they're owned by these huge companies
00:32:00.120 that own these massive libraries of content that can make money or in the case of like a comcast 0.88
00:32:04.760 they can make really stupid decisions on the content and creative side because everyone's 0.79
00:32:08.920 got to pay for cable and internet hookups still so they're they're insulated from these decisions 0.99
00:32:13.560 financially uh but the other side of it that also doesn't that so that's one part of why it's gotten
00:32:18.780 so bad the ideology has been able to run wild and then the dei hiring for the writers this is real
00:32:23.940 this is very clear uh this was a mandate you don't get to mandate we're only hiring uh women
00:32:30.500 and particularly minority women to write and then tell us that you're not changing standards because
00:32:34.860 clearly you are otherwise why would you have a mandate to hire women and minority writers
00:32:38.180 the writing for a lot of these shows is terrible the writing for a lot of these big budget projects
00:32:42.700 is is just trash and uh if you actually had a studio that was focused on just making good
00:32:51.300 content for audiences i think it would completely it's like it's like people look at look at elon 0.93
00:32:56.540 with x where does all the like the most cutting edge conversation online right now all happens
00:33:02.740 not on instagram not on facebook not on tic it's on x because even one place that's actually
00:33:08.240 on mission everybody knows it i will say positive the most successful two movies to come out of
00:33:16.160 the summer blockbuster relative to what they cost obsession and the one that's uh what's the other
00:33:23.980 one look it up they're horror movies coming out of youtube universes that are created by kids in
00:33:29.780 their 20s and they have back rooms back rooms i haven't even heard of that one yeah obsession and
00:33:35.720 back rooms have dominated because there's more cultural vibrancy coming out of youtube go
00:33:42.100 subscribe to our youtube channel and the market actually responds to it i also this ties in with
00:33:48.760 the other part of this the super girl some of these shows that were super successful are now
00:33:53.340 getting remade i'm curious 800-282-2882 if any of you have watched this yet i have not they're
00:34:00.280 remaking little house on the prairie you did not grow up watching little house on the prairie i
00:34:05.260 watched this show i loved it laura ingalls paw michael uh what's the guy's name who was the paw
00:34:12.320 michael landon i think was his name many of you watched that show 1974 to 1983 they are now
00:34:20.300 remaking it and the reviews that i have read buck it ties in with supergirl because to me
00:34:26.220 the strongest part of little house on the prairie was the relationship between laura ingalls wilder
00:34:32.100 who is the primary protagonist of the of the show and her dad her dad uh the michael landon
00:34:38.440 character pa on that program how do you think reportedly netflix has remade little house on
00:34:43.920 the prairie boss girl mom mom is now the focus of the show and it's girl boss on the prairie
00:34:52.500 starring mom see this is the the race communists of the left and when i say race communists it's
00:34:59.020 also gender communists and you know all of it they create a zero-sum environment where and this
00:35:05.280 is true of masculinity there's no such thing as masculinity that's good there's only toxic
00:35:08.860 masculinity if you talk about masculinity that is good the left will shout at you for saying are you
00:35:13.220 telling me women can't be brave are you telling me women can't be tough are you well no i'm not
00:35:17.380 saying that but that is what they do the same thing is true about fatherhood and being a dad
00:35:22.740 and being courageous and a leader of the family you can't depict that without people going but
00:35:28.280 What about all the women?
00:35:29.360 What about all the single mothers? 0.94
00:35:30.700 What about all?
00:35:31.200 You know, you sit here, you go, who says no one's saying that can't also be.
00:35:35.840 But we can't celebrate this thing.
00:35:37.680 We can't talk about this and depict this.
00:35:39.900 It goes to what we said.
00:35:41.620 I agree with you that there's a huge marketplace opportunity here.
00:35:44.000 But largely writing dads out of family dramas, even the family dramas where dads used to be a star, like Little House on the Prairie, is actually a cultural decision that is not positive for the country.
00:35:56.100 and it makes me again just make lewis and clark make me happy and make lewis and clark i'd also
00:36:01.040 say we're talking about violence political violence crime in cities and all this uh make
00:36:06.400 dads great again yeah fatherhood is a critical piece of all of this the violence comes from men
00:36:14.300 who don't have strong role models and a young age who don't know what it is to be a man uh
00:36:22.940 navigating america today in a positive masculine way and so we we need more uh we need more stories
00:36:30.740 of great dads uh shown because it does it does matter it does actually have an influence on
00:36:36.840 people all right you own a business you need to protect it with business insurance and you got
00:36:41.180 to prepare for whatever could come your way but business insurance is tough there are claims

00:39:20.340 All right. Welcome back in here to Clay Ann Buck.
00:39:22.080 So Darlene Graham is being sworn in as South Carolina senator right now. 1.00
00:39:27.120 And that is where also our friend Senator Marsha Blackburn is. 0.98
00:39:31.280 She wanted to be there. I actually am watching her right now, I think, on the live stream.
00:39:35.200 She wanted to be there for the swearing in.
00:39:39.220 And so she can't join us because she is on the floor of the Senate.
00:39:42.280 And, you know, Clay, if you get a flat tire on the way to the job interview, you know, stuff happens.
00:39:48.920 If you're a senator and you're supposed to be with us, but then you have to be on the Senate floor for Senate business, that's acceptable.
00:39:54.780 We're going to give her, oh, we've already got her?
00:39:56.840 She's back?
00:39:57.320 She's calling?
00:39:57.880 Oh, well, there we go.
00:39:59.760 Senator Blackburn, thank you for making the time for us.
00:40:02.100 I thought you were on the floor right now.
00:40:03.940 You stepped off the floor.
00:40:05.320 Please share us your thoughts.
00:40:06.520 uh obviously it was a big a big uh sad announcement for the country over the weekend with the passing
00:40:11.780 of senator lindsey graham i haven't heard you speak about it yet we wanted to let you reflect
00:40:15.620 yes indeed and we have just sworn his sister darlene in that's why i was a couple of minutes
00:40:23.920 late getting to
00:40:25.420 we may have lost her there for a sec i think you're back senator uh we lost you there for a sec you
00:40:33.680 said Darlene Graham just sworn in the sister of Lindsay what what was your experience like for
00:40:39.960 Lindsay uh what would you want people out there across the country to know about your relationship
00:40:45.340 with him and what he meant for South Carolina and the country yes indeed he was so focused on how
00:40:52.180 we keep our country safe one of the things I have worked with him on is our election security
00:41:00.340 Partnership Act, which would tighten up how states are going to be compensated when they
00:41:09.720 give some more money on their grants, when they check their voter rolls against the DHS
00:41:17.500 SAVE system, which is the database that has all of the legal and illegal aliens, known
00:41:25.640 illegal aliens that are in the country and boots them out and that legislation would give them a
00:41:31.640 plus up in their grants you know basically incentivizing them for doing the right thing 0.55
00:41:36.800 and likewise he had he and i had a bill the 287g enhancement act which would give a plus up on
00:41:44.920 grants for local law enforcement agencies that enter in to an agreement with ice and federal
00:41:52.840 law enforcement to deport criminal illegal aliens and lindsey was a funny guy opportunity to
00:42:02.180 campaign with him in south carolina he campaigned in tennessee with me and i know that he is going
00:42:10.140 to be missed he was a a such an outstanding voice when it came to defending our nation
00:42:18.420 and our freedoms and trying to resolve conflicts around the globe he was certainly someone that
00:42:25.300 president trump listened to and talked with on a on a regular basis you are in the middle not only
00:42:33.820 of a senate process serving and trying to get as much done there but you're also running for
00:42:39.600 governor in the state of tennessee uh i saw you this past weekend at a birthday party of lee
00:42:45.500 barfield who was turning 80 one of my former law professors great successful attorney you also uh
00:42:52.620 let me know because i i need to be on top of it as well that early voting starts for the tennessee
00:42:58.520 primaries on friday which is going to be here very quickly what should people know about early
00:43:03.800 voting what should they know about the campaign to be the next governor for the state of tennessee
00:43:08.520 yes you're so right early voting starts july 17th election is august 6th we want people to remember
00:43:16.640 that early voting is beginning and we want them to remember to vote early and tennesseans know
00:43:25.400 that i am going to fight for them i fought to end that state income tax proposal in tennessee
00:43:33.780 The Tennesseans joined me by the thousands.
00:43:37.160 We defeated that.
00:43:38.640 They know that I've been fighting for them all the way, and that as governor, I'm going
00:43:44.100 to make certain that Tennessee is America's conservative leader, that we are the best
00:43:50.640 place to live, to work, to rear your family, and to have great jobs for all of our kids
00:43:55.820 to come home to.
00:43:57.220 Senator Blackburn, I just asked Clay this before, but I was wondering, as somebody who
00:44:01.080 is on the Senate right now, how do you view Republicans' prospects going into this midterm
00:44:06.380 as it stands? And what are you, from talking to your constituents in Tennessee, what are the top
00:44:12.800 issues? Yeah. And you know, Buck, right now, and we're talking to Tennesseans every single day
00:44:20.720 and listening to them, one of the main things I've heard from people is they want to be heard.
00:44:27.980 They want to know that their voices have been heard, and the top things that people are talking about is jobs, the economy, wages, and they're concerned about what has happened with inflation during the Biden years, and it has not come down as much as they had hoped.
00:44:48.460 the price of groceries. The second thing we hear a lot about is public safety. And people want to
00:44:57.480 make certain that their communities are safe, that schools are safe for kids. They want to make
00:45:03.020 certain that we're deporting illegal aliens. And they want to see support for law enforcement.
00:45:11.040 So many people across our state have grown weary of this defund the police, letting violent criminals just have a revolving door, and they get picked up, they get charged, they get booked, and they let go, and these cashless bail policies.
00:45:28.040 The third thing people are talking a lot about is educating our children and making certain that every child in our state, regardless of where they live, that they have access to a world-class education.
00:45:42.360 in one of the main topics other things that we hear a lot about are health care election integrity
00:45:50.840 and infrastructure making certain that we've got the infrastructure to be a world class economy
00:45:58.240 and uh that our kids want to stay in tennessee and make their american dreams come true i know
00:46:05.420 a couple of things that are underway and i'm going to get your your take on them supreme court
00:46:10.080 decision on the uh birthright citizenship you guys in the senate are having read what was done
00:46:18.840 in the supreme court you are reintroducing a banned birth tourism act i know that in
00:46:24.620 south texas there were hospitals advertising for people to come across and have babies there
00:46:30.480 uh and also i'll also build on this todd blanche is going to be at senate judiciary tomorrow uh do
00:46:38.220 you expect for him to get confirmed tell us about both of those senate priorities yes first of all
00:46:45.120 on the ban birth tourism bill uh this is something i've worked on for about three years and it amends
00:46:51.820 the immigration and nationality act i actually introduced it last congress it is unseemly that
00:46:59.460 people are getting a visa coming into the country having a baby exiting the country with the baby
00:47:06.660 that is a U.S. citizen, all their paperwork, and then they can come back here as a U.S. citizen for
00:47:12.500 education. They are going to be coming back here for chain migration, et cetera. So ending that, 0.52
00:47:20.840 about 33,000 babies a year are born through this process. So making birth tourism inadmissible for
00:47:31.280 a visa, and also a deportable offense. If you are found to be working with one of these companies
00:47:39.100 that markets birth tourism, then you will immediately be deported. So that is something
00:47:49.520 that, yes, the Tennesseans and the American people want to see that, and we are indeed
00:47:56.220 pushing that legislation forward. When it comes to Todd Blanche and his hearing tomorrow,
00:48:02.620 the hearing is going to take place. We will have one day where it is committee hearing and then
00:48:08.540 another day where you're going to have the media and the Democrats that are all looking for click
00:48:14.960 bait. They're going to come in and they're going to harangue him and talk about how terrible he is
00:48:21.660 and try to get their clickbait moment and indeed the hearing tomorrow we know that some of them
00:48:27.280 are going to be there playing to the reporters and trying to get some clickbait that they can
00:48:32.380 put on social media and raise money off of save america act senator blackburn where do you stand
00:48:39.240 on this well we have been trying to get this the group of us the conservatives in the senate are
00:48:45.640 called the steering committee and i'm on that executive committee and you've got rick scott
00:48:50.420 Mike Lee and Ted Cruz and Ron Johnson, Bernie Marino, Jim Banks, me.
00:48:56.760 We are trying to find a way to get this done.
00:49:01.480 I think what you will see us do next week is be on the floor talking a good bit about the Save America Act and why we need it.
00:49:11.460 And pushing forward, we've decided maybe if we break this bill into parts and do it one thing at a time,
00:49:18.820 take just a voter ID to the floor and get that process going.
00:49:23.400 That may be the best way to get this across the finish line.
00:49:26.680 But, you know, we're trying every way possible to get this passed,
00:49:32.460 and we look forward to pushing to the point that we've got 51 votes
00:49:36.480 and we can get it across the finish line.
00:49:39.060 Senator Marsha Blackburn, everybody get out and vote July 17th.
00:49:43.200 That's this Friday in my home state, in your state of Tennessee.
00:49:47.580 We appreciate the time.
00:49:48.900 Keep up the good work.
00:49:50.760 Delighted to be with you.
00:49:52.060 Thanks so much.
00:49:52.820 By now.
00:49:53.840 That is Senator Marsha Blackburn.
00:49:55.740 I want to tell you, nearly every president we've had since 1948 has truly supported the
00:50:01.100 alliance between Israel and the United States.
00:50:03.520 That was the year Israel was founded 78 years ago.
00:50:06.660 Whether it was President Kennedy in the early 60s, Reagan in the 80s, or Trump, the recognition
00:50:11.660 of Israel's belief in democracy and freedom has been front and center in our relationship.
00:50:16.580 We may be two nations thousands of miles apart, yet we're united by shared values of democracy, faith, freedom and resilience.
00:50:23.980 As America celebrates 250 years of independence this year, the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews, the IFCJ, encourages each of us to pray for wisdom in the elected officials of both nations to have moral clarity in their words and actions for more national unity.
00:50:40.500 The IFCJ has created a USA-Israel flag pen for this very moment.
00:50:46.360 It's yours free when you go online to flagpenifcj.org.
00:50:52.180 That's flagp-p-i-n-i-f-c-j dot org.
