Hour 3 - Democrats Causing Airport Chaos
3/19/202637 mincomplete
0:00This is an iHeart Podcast.
0:02Guaranteed human. Welcome back in.
0:05Clay Travis, Buck Sexton Show.
0:07Appreciate all of you hanging out with us as we are rolling through the third
0:11hour of the program, March Madness Underway.
0:16I'm having fun here, Buck, because you're going to love this.
0:21Jake Tapper decided he needed to fact check President Trump's Pearl Harbor Day joke.
0:29He said, for what it's worth, Prime Minister Takeuchi was born 20 years after Pearl
0:35Harbor. Donald Trump was also not born on Pearl Harbor.
0:42So Jake Tapper, if we can clip this, thank you for the fact check.
0:46It would be impossible for anyone to have actually notified us in advance about Pearl
0:53Harbor. It was a joke about the necessity of keeping surprises surprises.
1:02Tapper is a super jerk.
1:08This is a guy who, when CNN was feeling flush with power during the Obama
1:13years, was really nasty, really had a habit of going after conservatives on Twitter when
1:19Twitter was also a left -wing funhouse that was always helping people, you know, on
1:24the left and Democrats all the time at the expense of conservatives.
1:27So the ignominious decline of CNN, and along with it, the oh -so -serious, taking
1:34himself oh -so -seriously, Jake Tapper, is justice, my friend.
1:40It's the way it should be.
1:42I think social media has demonstrated how many people in media, and there's lots of
1:49things it's demonstrated, but it's largely demonstrated how many people in media don't have original
1:54thoughts and are also morons, which is a very bad concept and a very bad
1:58combination. But anyway, if you were out there, President Trump made a great joke about
2:04Pearl Harbor earlier today with the Prime Minister of Japan in the Oval Office when
2:08he was asked why they did not notify everyone in advance before the surprise attack
2:14on Iran. And that was, I thought, quite well said by President Trump.
2:20But I wanted to bring this up, Buck, as we're working through the final hour
2:26here of the Thursday edition.
2:28Mayor Mom Donnie's wife, there have now been a lot of people going into her
2:33social media background. And starting at about the age of 15, and she is 28
2:40years old now, she's about to turn 29, so she's still relatively young.
2:44But starting at about the age of 15, when she got on social media for
2:47the first time, she began to celebrate the death, the murder of Jews.
2:55She also used some, let's say it, inappropriate language, racial slurs, anti -gay language.
3:05And I'm curious what your take is on this, Buck.
3:10And I've got several different breakdowns on this, and I would be curious to hear
3:14from a lot of parents and grandparents out there.
3:16My general rule is we should not go back in time and judge people on
3:23moronic things that they tweeted when they were 15 or 16 years old.
3:28And so I don't like the idea of when somebody's suddenly 26 years old and
3:34they're a famous athlete for the first time and they just won a gold medal,
3:38somebody goes back and they say, oh my God, when they were 15 years old,
3:42they quoted rap lyrics or they had anti -gay slurs or they had inappropriate behavior
3:48on social media and we retroactively castigate them for things that they did when they
3:55were young. That's my general proposition.
3:58But specifically with Mamdani and his wife, she has said the exact same thing since
4:06she got online at 15 years old all the way up to 28, soon to
4:09be 29 years old. She has consistently celebrated the murder of Jews, including the murder
4:15and rape of Jews on October 7, 2023.
4:20Mayor Mamdani has responded to this in New York City by saying, well, my wife
4:24is not a public figure, except she's been on the cover of magazines.
4:28She's set for very beneficial, hagiographic articles about her that I'm sure her PR team
4:38set up where all of the left -wing media can fawn over her.
4:43What is your take on what should happen?
4:45What should a honest media do with a story like this?
4:52And how should they cover it?
4:54What would you say if we, like, how do you analyze this?
4:58She's not the elected official.
5:00She is the wife. It started at the age of 15.
5:03If you were the ombudsman in charge of analyzing coverage here or the editor -in
5:08-chief, let's say, of CNN, and your actual goal was to be fair and set
5:13a precedent for how to cover these stories, what would you say should happen here,
5:17Buck? I'm king for a day of the media.
5:23You get to drive. You get to drive.
5:24All coverage of the Donnie wife story.
5:29But we're trying to be consistent here.
5:31So the precedent that you set for her would be applied into the future for
5:35years to come for other figures, which we know is dishonest and does not actually
5:39happen. But let's pretend that they were trying to do that.
5:41I don't think it's a big story for the following reason.
5:44She is a standard campus radical anti -Semite, meaning that this is now common on
5:54the left. I mean, this isn't some, oh, my gosh, you mean that there's someone
5:57who holds these radical progressive views and also hates Israel and the Jews?
6:02Yeah, like all of them do, basically, including some Jews, I might add, who are
6:06radical left progressive. So this is not a...
6:10Yeah, to your point, I wish she would just say, yeah, I said it and
6:13I meant it, bitch, and just like own it, right?
6:16Because then you could be like, okay, she hates Jewish people and she's owning it.
6:20But she's not willing to do that, right, today.
6:24And so they're trying to hide her to avoid having to address the situation.
6:27I've been very curious, guys.
6:29Can we see, did Mamdani, what percentage of the Jewish vote, that vote, do we
6:33have any, I don't know if we have even enough data on that to know,
6:38but I'd be curious to see what percentage of the Jewish vote, based on, I
6:41guess, exit polls Mamdani may have gotten.
6:44But, yeah, I don't think it's a...
6:46It's an interesting story, Clay, to some degree.
6:49It's not surprising and it's not going to stick and it's not going to do
6:52anything to Mamdani because he's screwing things up, I think, so royally on things that
6:57really matter that the fact that his wife is a repugnant imbecile, you know, de
7:03Blasio's wife, I might add, lost almost a billion dollars, or I should say, spend
7:09almost a billion dollars on mental health, and I interviewed her about this.
7:13And no one knew where the money was.
7:14Of course not. Like, there was just, it was just, you know, kind of moved
7:18around to some NGOs or some, a billion dollars in a city budget, it's a
7:23lot of money. And the way this money gets spent is, we were talking about
7:27this with the homelessness thing yesterday.
7:29Yeah. It's unbelievable that we've just come to accept this.
7:32Do you think that the mental health situation of New York City got better because
7:37I think Charlene was her name, de Blasio was in charge of a billion dollars
7:43of taxpayer funds that just got completed?
7:45Look, the money goes to people.
7:47It goes to bureaucrats who vote Democrat, who have no metrics, who have self -paced
7:57jobs that they can show up for or not show up for, basically.
8:01And that's, and it's a great way to buy yourself a lot of votes with
8:04taxpayer money and tell yourself you're a good person in the process.
8:07This is, this is what I'm saying.
8:09The first lady of New York, I guess that's what we call her.
8:13We got bigger problems with Mom Donnie driving away.
8:17Well, not, not a big problem for Florida.
8:20Come on in, boys and girls.
8:21The water's warm down here.
8:23It's lovely. Lovely this time of year in Florida.
8:25They're, they're destroying. I mean, this is why they have the governor of New York
8:28begging. And I will say, I think it was Charles Cook of National Review shared
8:32this out. You know that the governor of New York was saying just a few
8:36years ago, you're not a real New Yorker.
8:38Get out of here. Take your, you, you, you're not going to pay.
8:42Sean Hannity played those clips for me last night on his show, Buck, where, because
8:46Sean is a perfect example.
8:47You're a perfect example of this.
8:49You did what the mayor, the governor told you to do.
8:53You left and went to Florida.
8:54And now she's begging for everybody who left and went to Florida to come back
8:58and help pay taxes. It's funny, actually.
9:00Sean and I, there's, there's some real similarity here in, we're talking two guys, Irish
9:06Catholics from the New York City area.
9:09I'm, you know, I grew up in the five bros.
9:10I think Sean's a Long Island guy, but just outside the city, who loved New
9:14York. I mean, I know Sean was a guy who loved New York, spent so
9:18much of his career there.
9:18I was, I thought everybody who didn't live in New York was like, you know,
9:23lying to themselves about how where they were was great.
9:25I mean, this is a very New York mentality.
9:28They turned both of us, two guys from different generations of I heart New York
9:32so much, they turned both of us into Florida refugees.
9:37Yeah. What else do you have?
9:38I mean, and not like we're the only ones.
9:40You go, there's a whole list of people from our business and a whole list
9:44of people from other businesses too.
9:46And Clay, they're not, the Democrats are not learning the lesson.
9:51They aren't changing a thing.
9:53They still think that this is the way to do business.
9:57Just keep squeezing people, keep taxing people, say it's all about the rich, don't pay
10:03attention to economics. And so this is what I mean though, I mean the first
10:06lady, like what, you know, how big a story is it Clay?
10:09What are we going to do?
10:09She's a horrible idiot, but you know what?
10:12There have been plenty of horrible idiot first ladies already in New York.
10:15Like who cares? Well, the one part that I think is interesting is they've now
10:18got her saying anti -black racial slurs.
10:22I didn't see that. Now.
10:26That actually is a... That's what I'm saying.
10:28Among Democrats, that's a little more of a problem.
10:30I didn't know, I didn't see that.
10:31And homophobic language. Now. Nah, they'll excuse that.
10:36If she's, what is she's, she's brown, right?
10:39She is Palestinian, I think.
10:41Yeah, yeah, she's like Arab or something, right?
10:43Yeah, she's brown, she's loud.
10:44I think she's from Syria.
10:45If you're brown, you're allowed to be anti...
10:47These are the rules, the Democrats set up.
10:48If you're brown, you're allowed to be, you know, anti -gay.
10:52I don't know. I don't know.
10:52and you're you'll get away with it and you're also allowed to be or you're
10:56certainly allowed to be anti -semitic and you'll get away with it anti -black like
11:00real racist stuff against black people that the left even get that's that's a tougher
11:06one for them to make disappear that's vote is their base so they have to
11:09pretend that they're perpetually offended there now here i can't believe i'm going to defend
11:13her context matters right like screaming a racial slur at someone that is intended to
11:20be negative and quoting a rap lyric is different right i know a rap lyric
11:26is not racist quoting somebody else who said a slur is not racist i know
11:30that by the way people say well buck you would you do it no because
11:33we have these rules that are imposed on us people this is wrong this is
11:36wrong calling someone a slur is a bad and immoral thing referring to a word
11:42in a certain context that someone else may have said or that appears in a
11:47song that you are quoting or that appears in a work of literature that you
11:50are reading aloud is not racist and this bending the knee thing to it has
11:55got to stop this like mass hysteria george floydism of oh my gosh shouldn't be
12:01wrong but we haven't broken through on this yet that's not to say that calling
12:05someone racial slur is okay i already said that is unethical immoral and a stupid
12:09thing to do but there should not be words that by the way christopher hitchens
12:13agreed with me on this yeah well totally agreed on this that he had a
12:17whole article on the pernicious effect of banning words for some people yeah i i
12:22think that unfortunately for the mayor's wife our defense of her is not they can't
12:30help people lyrics when you're 15 or 16 years old on your social media accounts
12:34i think context is the key right look at the f word which is the
12:38most popular uh curse word in america sometimes it's actually a very positive thing right
12:43uh and we use context to distinguish between someone threatening someone by using a curse
12:50word and someone saying hey that's amazing right using the f word as an adjective
12:56to express amazement right and so i do think she could be in a little
13:01bit more peril uh over the fact that she has used to use the word
13:06did she use a version of the word yes oh yes oh yeah oh yeah
13:14she is like very naughty of the mayor's wife and so i think she should
13:18have to answer for this i i do um and again my argument would be
13:22he's gonna hide behind this she's not an elected official thing you know that she's
13:26gonna hide i get it but if she were 15 or but they do it
13:28for freaking uh uh football players yeah but basketball players they hold them to a
13:33higher standards than her i i gotta bring you into like the real world here
13:37for a second my friend you keep coming into this like these people have any
13:40standards whatsoever about what's fair and unfair the whole point is that their side gets
13:45to say and do whatever they want and get away with it and our side
13:48is held to extreme rules no grace no fairness no context it's just power that's
13:54all this whole thing is and by the way the whole that's all you can't
13:56use yes yeah you can't use the word i can use the word because i
14:00am uh you know a different skin color than you that's just about power too
14:03that's there's no ethics base there's no ethics in that there's no right there's no
14:07rationality in that it's i can do it you can't yes you shut up and
14:11don't say that word and under any circumstance okay we got to bend the knee
14:15that's what it's about power it's power dynamics pure and simple and the left of
14:19course they get away with this stuff okay i mean don't even get me started
14:22on this whole kennedy thing this kennedy show the kennedy's the kennedy's are like the
14:28worst clan of scumbags in the history of america okay top the top to bottom
14:33look i'm glad that rfk jr you know works out without a shirt on and
14:38wants us not to have food die in he's made some mistakes too i'll i'll
14:42leave it at that with him he's made some mistakes too this is funny because
14:45we're talking about off the air laura travis and carrie sexton are obsessed with this
14:51new jfk carolyn beset story that everybody is every girl watching on the planet whenever
14:58i walk through the living room and she's watching the show i'm just like oh

15:26know uh by the way that's a good show but that's not the same as
15:29caring about the right sorry we're gonna run into a break here i can still

16:55Welcome back into Clay and Buck.
16:56We'll get some of your calls and talkbacks here in a moment.
16:58Clay is watching a basketball game in the background that is apparently part of this
17:02March Madness thing. I have filled out a bracket, and I have sent it in
17:06to our team for safekeeping because kind of like the story of the two runners
17:10and the bear, I'm not trying to outrun the bear.
17:14I'm just trying to outrun the other runner.
17:15I just want to beat Clay in my bracket challenge because then I can get
17:19bragging rights. And I'm bringing Clay all of my extensive knowledge of NCAA basketball programs
17:26to my bracket. So you better watch out.
17:29We just had a game end.
17:32TCU has beaten Ohio State.
17:35We have massive audiences in the state of Ohio and in the state of Texas.
17:42So TCU, on behalf of the state of Texas, advancing to the second round, came
17:47down to a last -second shot attempt from Ohio State.
17:50I'm a little bit out of breath, Buck, because I just ran up from upstairs,
17:52so you take us. Fortunately, my friend, I'm the one who has the read here.
17:57I'll also tell you, though, when we come back, who I think is going to
18:00win the national championship. There you go.
18:04Rapid radios, they're amazing. I've got rapid radios at home.
18:07These are modern -day walkie -talkies.
18:09We had a blackout here recently.
18:10I have my rapid radios ready to go just in case the cell towers all
18:12went down. Now, fortunately, they didn't.
18:14The power came back on, but I felt good knowing that I had my rapid
18:17radios good to go, and I got family, Carrie's family, my family in New York.
18:21They've got their pair of rapid radios, so we can talk in real time if
18:24we have to. This is just part of your preparation, my friends.
18:27Have some rapid radios at home.

18:54Welcome back in. Clay Travis, Buck Sexton Show.
18:57Buck has completed his March Madness bracket.
19:00We have now got a result in the books.
19:03Like we said, TCU gets the win.
19:05Buck picked it correctly. This is very funny.
19:07You were filling out your bracket after the games had started, and you were concerned
19:11about whether that was allowed.
19:12And I said, you have no idea who's playing.
19:14Like, you're good to go.
19:15And he did it. You hear this?
19:17He just calls me out like that.
19:18Now, he was correct, but still called out.
19:22We have a huge audience in Omaha, Nebraska.
19:26KFAB land. Congratulations. This is pretty cool, Buck.
19:31Nebraska has never won an NCAA tournament basketball game.
19:36For a school of that size with an athletic department of that history of success.
19:41Unbelievable. They have just won.
19:44There's a minute and a half left, but they're up 30.
19:46They have just won their first ever NCAA tournament game.
19:51So, congrats to long -suffering Nebraska Cornhusker fans out there.
19:56If you are listening to us and wondering how things might be going, there you
20:01go. We also have a monster audience in two other cities that are playing right
20:05now in Wisconsin, which is a state, but we are huge in Milwaukee.
20:11The Badgers are up two at the half on High Point, which, Buck, any idea
20:16where High Point is located?
20:17This is one of the fun things about the NCAA tournament.
20:21I do not know where High Point is.
20:23I'm pretty sure it's North Carolina.
20:24The team can correct me if I'm wrong on that.
20:27And then Louisville, where we are number one overall, is up 10 on South Florida.
20:33South Florida, despite being named South Florida, actually located in Tampa.
20:38Does that qualify as South Florida in your mind now that you are a South
20:42Floridian? I don't think so.
20:43It is not. It is Central Florida.
20:46And, unfortunately, that's looking like a tough one for the Buckster there.
20:52My bracket is going to be perfect.
20:54It looks like after the first four games.
20:57So, Kalshi was giving out a billion dollars if you got every game correct.
21:03And so, I'm going to be 4 -0.
21:05So, I only need, I don't know, about 100, what is it, only need 64
21:10more games correct, or whatever the math is, and I will be well on my
21:15way to winning a bundle.
21:16I guess it would be 59, if I'm right.
21:20I think I'm right. Okay, let's see.
21:23A couple of other things.
21:23We got some great talkbacks and emails, and I wanted to make sure that I
21:27hit those. A lot of you reacting to the TSA discussion.
21:31Let me go ahead and pull these up.
21:33Can I just, excuse me, excuse me.
21:35Yes. Producer Greg just, like, sent me a reminder that Louisville's in Kentucky.
21:39All right. Like, I know where Louisville is, buddy.
21:42I think it was a joke.
21:43I think that was a joke.
21:44I know, I know. But, you know, we're getting a little, we're getting a little...
21:47saucy around here sorry i don't know where like you know southeast christian university is
21:53or whatever you know i don't know but i know where louisville is for heaven's
21:58sakes come on high point north carolina um all right uh let's see not even
22:02the people of high point are mad at me for missing they're like yeah we're
22:05kind of obscure like data they know uh hey guys uh this is from a
22:10vip listener uh my husband works for tsa and it's getting way out of hand
22:15many of the people who work for him uh can't come to work because they
22:19can't afford to many have kids can't afford the child care and cannot afford the
22:23gas to come to work you're correct many tsa workers work paycheck to paycheck he
22:30works at a smaller airport in the south and they might have to shut them
22:34down and the tsa would move to the nearest airport thanks love y 'all again
22:39this is indefensible to me and i understand a lot of people say oh you
22:44get frustrated when you go through tsa and and uh i understand that it's not
22:48exactly the job that leaves everybody agog uh with uh with praise very often we
22:54i know this because i fly a lot out of nashville huge numbers of the
22:58tsa agents in nashville listen to this show uh and our fans uh because i
23:04i talk to them every time i'm flying um they're not getting paid they're showing
23:09up and i don't care what job you do if you are showing up and
23:12not getting paid uh i just think it's a failure of the government i'll tell
23:16you yeah i haven't i haven't had a rude or now i know some of
23:20you are going to completely freak out at me i'm just saying from my personal
23:23experience i haven't had a rude or unprofessional tsa agent in in in years now
23:31it has been years um in the early days i think it was a lot
23:35worse and i i had i did have some some uh bad experiences you know
23:40going back i don't know 15 years or something now but i haven't had i
23:44have had tsa be very uh professional in my i'll tell you i got a
23:48lot more beef with the airline attendants who are doing the you're not masking up
23:52uh fast enough yes haven't forgotten about them so uh yeah i have not i
23:57have no problem with the tsa i think that uh well maybe it should be
24:01privatized yada yada but i'm just saying um i i've i they get they get
24:05a really hard time from people and most of the ones that i've dealt with
24:08overwhelmingly in in recent years have been they've been professional they've been reasonable uh i
24:13still but i don't think i told you this you'll appreciate it um because you've
24:16been ridiculing me for would you get on a plane with no tsa by the
24:19way would you just if if you have the option of tsa line walk straight
24:24to the walk straight to a different plane line would you feel comfortable just going
24:28to the walk straight to the different plane line no i mean i i think
24:33at this point in time unfortunately we have to have tsa like i i i
24:39you know but see this is what i'm saying right that's really the test it's
24:43not you know it's not like oh you know people are like oh what about
24:47nctc buck there's plenty of people in the cia seeing exactly the same stuff nctc
24:52is and putting in the same brief it's going to the same president etc okay
24:55i don't dsa you actually need dsa yeah i don't think tsa agents are perfect
25:01because inevitably anytime you say this people send emails any bureaucracy i mean i'm probably
25:05going to get like you know double frisked the next time i go now as
25:08like pay as a you know punishment for me saying nice things but you can
25:12miss um you can miss on the uh on the job right i mean somebody
25:16could get a weapon through somebody could fail but i do think it's a huge
25:20deterrence factor because i think many people who would do harm to us if they
25:25could expect that there's a high likelihood that they would get caught by the tsa
25:30and as a result don't engage in behavior like that planes are an inherently um
25:36vulnerable soft target because you don't need if you bring an explosive device into a
25:44crowded place you know it depends on how it's made how much explosive a shrapnel
25:52and all these things i mean yes you can obviously hurt a lot of people
25:54and that's terrible but you don't have to bring much of an explosive at all
25:58on a plane to kill 200 people it's hard to kill 200 people with a
26:03weapon otherwise that you're just carrying on you you know it's hard thankfully to do
26:09that with with you know with a car bomb different but with an explosive you're
26:12carrying on you you can bring down a plane i mean even with the remember
26:16richard reed the shoe bomber the shoe bomber if if he had actually if those
26:20shoes had gone he might have taken down that whole plane yeah farouk abdul matalib
26:25who was the underwear bomber um this is during the obama administration i think 2009
26:312010 i can't remember the year but remember this guy tried to light his underwear
26:35on fire because he had bought um brought explosives in like the seams of the
26:40underwear he ended up just lighting himself on fire um but that might have brought
26:44down the plane too you don't need a lot and if you and if the
26:47plan obviously if the fuselage fails everyone's dying basically so this is why planes are
26:53vulnerable and this is why we have special security for planes like there there is
26:56a there is a reason for all of this let me ask you this because
26:59i don't know that you saw it it happened to me i still do not
27:03have a real id um i am clay what what is what is going on
27:08with you dude you're gonna get blocked we're gonna go to the white house again
27:10this spring when it's nice in dc and you're gonna look at me i can
27:14already i'm telling you right Now, I'm just calling my shot on this.
27:17Clay's going to be like, oh, dude, I totally was going to get a real
27:20ID, but, you know, and I have to try to negotiate with the guards, with
27:24the Secret Service. I don't, because of our show, it's almost impossible for me to
27:30go to the DMV. And people are going to say, what do you mean by
27:33that? I can't get, our show starts at 11 a .m.
27:36Central. There is almost nowhere I can go in the morning that I know I
27:41can get a real ID before 11 and be able to get back home to
27:44do the show. And there's almost nowhere that I can go after two and get
27:49done before the DMV shuts down.
27:52So I don't want to take a full day off of work to go to
27:56the DMV, which is what this would require, unless there's somebody out there that is
28:01super DMV fan of Clay and Buck in the Nashville area, and then I would
28:05be happy to hear from you.
28:06But I forgot my passport, which is what I've been using, because if you don't
28:11have a real ID, you can use your passport.
28:13Here's a, this seems like a flaw.
28:15If you don't have real ID, you pay $45, and for 10 days, you just
28:20get to go through. Do you know that this is the new catch -all provision
28:24of real ID? If real ID is so important for our security, why they have
28:30an app, you just click on a picture, and I didn't have my, I was
28:34like, oh no, I've took the wrong bag, I don't have my passport, I don't
28:38have a real ID phone, a photo, I can pay $45, it lasts for 10
28:43days, and they let you through.
28:46How, what, tell me what, I have TSA pre -check.
28:49Tell me what, other than the government getting more of my money, what the real
28:54ID is based for, if you can just pay $45, and you don't have to
28:58have it. I'm not like Captain Real ID over here, buddy, I don't know.
29:02I just, I'm just saying, like, everybody said, oh, this is incredibly important for airport
29:07security, which I understand, and then the current situation is, if you don't have it
29:13at all, you just pay $45, and you go through.
29:16I have TSA pre -check, I have a passport.
29:19Like, the government knows everything that they want to know about me, probably way more
29:23than I want them to know, candidly.
29:25I think when you look at the way they've been going after all these Republicans'
29:29phones, 100 billion percent they've gotten some of our text messages to congressmen or senators
29:35based on the fact that they've been doing a dragnet on these guys.
29:38So what is the government protecting me from with real ID when I can pay
29:44$45 and just go through?
29:45And by the way, this is for anybody.
29:47I could be an illegal immigrant and pay $45 and just go through.
29:51This real ID thing seems like a total sham to me.
29:56I just, I'm a Floridian, man.
29:58We got real IDs here.
29:58I don't know why, why can't Tennessee?
30:00I don't know why Tennessee didn't include it, but I don't have it on my
30:03license. And so if somebody's in the DMV and they want to send me a
30:06DM and they want to say, hey, Clay, I'll guarantee you that you can get
30:10in and out afternoon or morning, then I will go do it.
30:14I just feel like this isn't really that complicated.
30:18You can get yourself, you know, you can, you can take the time.
30:20We'll get you a real ID.
30:22I don't think, I don't want to take a day off work to go to
30:24the DMV. That's the worst day off work in the history of mankind.
30:28Other than taking a day off work to have surgery.
30:31I'm not sure there's a worse day to have a worse day off than to
30:34go to the DMV. I'm going to go sit at the DMV all day.
30:36Eh, jury duty. I'll see you, I'll raise you jury duty here.
30:39Oh, you've had jury duty before.
30:40Yep. Yep, yep, yep. Jury duty.
30:43That's not a great, that's not a great, great day off work either.
30:45I agree. You know, that's not my favorite.
30:49I think for sure, I would rather work than do jury duty for what we
30:53do. I would way rather work than go to the DMV all day.

32:36We'll get some calls, some talkbacks.
32:38Let's do it. Michael in Wisconsin.
32:40Michael, I see you served 23 years.
32:43the navy you want to make an important point here go for it yes sir
32:46uh i really appreciate you and you clay and buck uh i pray for the
32:51tsa agents and their families and the other homeland security personnel but my major concern
32:57is for the junior enlisted in the u .s coast guard and their families uh
33:03as a junior enlisted back in the day back in carter's days i had to
33:08as a second class petty officer i had to get a second job uh just
33:12to help feed my family but i know it's it's it's bad today for these
33:18junior enlisted coast guard people and their families uh i look amen thank you for
33:25the call yeah every single person that is not being paid and being forced to
33:31work because there is a difference buck like some of these guys when you know
33:35you're going to get paid eventually and we have a word for being forced to
33:38work without being paid it's a it's a pretty intense yes but some people like
33:43when the whole government shut down some people just took months off they just said
33:47hey i'm gonna just and you know you're gonna get paid eventually if you have
33:50the ability to have the resources for that to require people to work full -time
33:56and not pay them should not be allowed it just it shouldn't exist it's a
34:01failure of the government and in this particular case democrats are throwing a hissy fit
34:06and they have decided to make tsa agents some coast guard people everybody who's having
34:10to work and not being paid um i can tell that our our listeners uh
34:16want to send me off for my weekend here with a smile because they're just
34:19they're just coming at clay with all kinds of stuff right now uh for example
34:23jason from new hampshire this is is g he has some words for you clay
34:29about your real id issue play it clay it's jason from new hampshire listening on
34:34am610 um i'm pretty sure you can either call or go online and make an
34:39appointment to get your real id so you're out of excuses bud go get one
34:44i don't think this was true i i i when there were it was like
34:49six months wait when i looked at the tsa and different states are different like
34:54many of them make real id standard i don't know why tennessee didn't but i
35:00haven't you don't get a real id as the standard thing at least if you've
35:04had a license for a while so if i can now go without a multi
35:08-month backlog then i will look into that still not sure i can get in
35:13in the morning or get in in the afternoon and not miss the show how
35:17long does it take okay but if we're going to go hang out with with
35:20the president etc sometime this spring you better have that passport on you buddy that's
35:26all i'm telling you all right you bet we can't do this thing again where
35:29you're uh you're banned by the secret service for the day because you don't have
35:33proper identification i have a great defense that i was not being leaked information by
35:38joe kent because the meeting that you had with tulsi and joe kent i wasn't
35:43even allowed to go in because i didn't have the real id they said sorry
35:47sir even you're disallowed to go into uh the uh the meeting on uh on
35:52the white house grounds so i have uh been unable to enter that's my defense
35:56style of a defense there we go there we go um so hopefully they'll get
36:02this stuff squared away soon with tsa because at some point uh well i don't
36:07know i just feel like this is democrats acting like spoiled jerks and making people
36:12suffer for it who shouldn't be suffering and that's not right uh clay is going
36:15to have you solo tomorrow on friday uh and it's going to be a fantastic
