0:28The new season of Scrubs.
0:30Wednesdays, 8, 7 central on ABC.
0:32And stream on Hulu. Alright, third hour of Play and Buck kicks off now.
0:37And we're joined by Senator Mark Wayne Mullen of Oklahoma.
0:43Senator, good to have you back on the program.
0:44Hey, brother. How are you doing?
0:47Pretty good. Pretty good. Obviously, a lot of people caught between feelings of ebullience.
0:56Maybe relief that a lot of very bad people in Iran have been taken off
1:00the chessboard. But there's also concern about where this goes and the next steps.
1:05You are a veteran. You understand war.
1:08What do you make of what we're seeing so far?
1:11The Trump administration decision to go in alongside Israeli forces and take out these targets.
1:18What are you seeing and how do you think this should play out?
1:21Well, first of all, let me clarify.
1:23I did special assignments outside of DOD now, DOW.
1:27I never wore the uniform or the flag on my shirt.
1:31Pardon me. Pardon me. Go ahead.
1:34The guys that signed the contract, I got to work alongside of those guys.
1:40And they're phenomenal individuals. So, you know, I think with where we move today, people
1:48that think this is another Iraq is just not understanding.
1:52That's not even close to where we're at.
1:54They think this is another Afghanistan.
1:55It's not even close to where we're at.
1:57We're not hunting for Saddam Hussein.
2:00We're not hunting for, you know, for Osama bin Laden.
2:04That hunt ended within an hour.
2:06What we're doing is getting rid of a regime that's been hunting us for 47
2:10years. This regime has attacked us since November of 1979 all the way up to
2:15the last attack of June of 2005.
2:19They have killed or injured thousands of Americans, and they have chanted death to America
2:26and declared war on us a long time ago.
2:28This is the President Trump, though, was the first president out of the last seven
2:32to actually stand up and say, we're going to eliminate this threat.
2:36We're not going to allow them to continue to build their arsenal, to continue to
2:40attack our assets and one day possibly have the ability to attack us here on
2:47the homeland because it wouldn't be a matter of if, it'd be a matter of
2:50when. This regime that's been, you know, the number one sponsor of terror around the
2:55world and their biggest target has been us.
2:58And why diplomacy, the president tried diplomacy.
3:02I mean, during the 12 -day war, he was very clear.
3:04He came out and said, listen, we've destroyed your nuclear capability.
3:08We know where you're at.
3:09If we wanted to take you out, we would.
3:12But now we just ask that you, I mean, I'm paraphrasing this.
3:14Now we ask that you don't rebuild it.
3:16They decided to start rebuilding it.
3:17And then just recently, the information that's now open source, during the negotiations, which some
3:24of us is already aware of this, but Wyckoff put it out publicly, that they
3:28said they had enough enriched uranium to make 11 nuclear bombs.
3:34That made the threat even more deadly.
3:38And the president had his assets in the area.
3:41He had worked with General Cain and Secretary Hexeth to have assets available.
3:46And when the target finally presented itself, we went and eliminated the threat and continue
3:51to eliminate the threat today.
3:52So this isn't Iraq. This isn't Afghanistan.
3:56This is going after the terrorist organization that has been there for a long time
4:01and make it very clear we're not at war with Iraq.
4:04We're not at war with the Iranian people.
4:06We want a relationship with them.
4:07This is to eliminate the threat that continued to come after us for 47 years.
4:12We're talking to Senator Markway Mullen of Oklahoma.
4:15One of the things, as I'm sure you well know, that politicians get criticized for
4:21is only being concerned with the next election.
4:25President Trump doesn't have a next election.
4:27It would be easy. Right.
4:29It would be super easy for him to have just said, hey, you know what?
4:32I'm going to do enough so that Iran is not an issue for the rest
4:37of my term, but I'm just going to kick the can down the road and
4:40leave it to whomever my successor is to potentially deal with it.
4:44President Trump seems to me, and I'm curious because you spend quite a bit of
4:48time with him, talk to him quite a lot, to have decided that he's going
4:52to do everything in his power, whether it's build a new ballroom or get a
4:56new leader in Iran, to solve issues for the next 20, 40, 60 years.
5:02Isn't that incredibly commendable and actually rare for an American president to be doing?
5:07That's right. The president says, why are we waiting?
5:09Why do we keep putting tomorrow when we can do something today?
5:14And that's where he's at.
5:16He's like, I'm not going to continue to deal with these problems that's been there
5:18forever. I mean, you think about it.
5:20People question me when I said seven presidents, but think about this.
5:23You had Carter. You had Ray.
5:24You had Bush, you had Clinton, you had Bush, you had Obama, and you had
5:30Biden. Every single one of these had an opportunity to deal with this threat, and
5:35they chose not to. Even Maduro, you had Obama, and you had Biden that could
5:44have dealt with that threat.
5:45They chose not to. The president is like, why do this?
5:50At some point, someone's got to do something with this threat, and with the Ayatollah,
5:56he did it. And yet the Democrats are upset because they can't deny that they
6:03have killed thousands and injured thousands of Americans for 47 years.
6:07They can't deny that they've declared war on us.
6:09They can't deny the fact that they sponsored the war on terror, which were their
6:14number one target. They can't deny that.
6:15The only thing they're upset about is that the president supposedly did something illegal or
6:21supposedly did something unconstitutional, but that's their go -to because they can't name specifics because
6:26these same Democrats didn't complain about Obama when he dropped 26 ,000 bombs in 2016
6:32alone and bombed six different countries.
6:36They're just upset that the president's having any type of success, and at this point,
6:40you can't reason with crazy, and that's where the Democrat Party is today.
6:43We're speaking to Senator Mark Wayne Mullen of Oklahoma.
6:46Senator, how do you address when a constituent comes up to you?
6:53And I'm sure you're getting this maybe not necessarily in person, but you're certainly getting
6:57emails, calls to your office, because there are some people who are three -time Trump
7:01voters. We've got some calls and emails from them today who are all on board
7:07on the agenda, but they're saying Cuba, Venezuela, Iran, this stuff doesn't look like America
7:16first to me. What's your response to them?
7:19Yeah, so let me – I'll break that down for you.
7:22Let's look at Venezuela. Venezuela is American first because Venezuela was allowing drug cartels to
7:27poison our streets, kill our family members, kill our friends, and destroy our towns and
7:35our cities because Venezuela had become the number one hub for drug exports into the
7:40United States. We tried to get them to stop.
7:43It wasn't that we were trying to run the country.
7:47We just wanted them to quit allowing the cartels to be able to use their
7:50ports to ship drugs into the United States, and that does affect us directly.
7:56It affects everybody, every one of your listeners, including you and I talking.
8:01We know somebody that's been affected by fentanyl and the drug overdoses because we lost
8:06more people last year alone to drug overdoses than we did in the entire Vietnam
8:11War for American personnel. And so that's the first one on Venezuela.
8:16Cuba has been a constant staging ground for Russia and now China.
8:23That is – it's 90 miles off the coast of Florida.
8:26It is a huge threat to us, and it can create complete destabilization.
8:30We saw it during the Cuban crisis – missile crisis and how – what happened
8:36to the United States. The president is laser -focused on our hemisphere.
8:40He's not really interested in the rest of the hemispheres unless it happens to us.
8:44He's pulled the resources, or he pulled the resources to protect our hemisphere, which is
8:48why he secured the border.
8:50Securing our border is the same thing as securing our hemisphere because the overflow coming
8:54to Cuba could be dangerous.
8:56So securing our border and Cuba in that hemisphere is important.
9:00When you start looking at Iran, let's just see what's happening right now with the
9:06shipping lanes. We've seen oil surge at the highest – quicker than it has in
9:11recent years. It jumped up an average of 11 cents.
9:15You've seen the shipping lanes that have been closed because insurance companies won't allow shipping
9:21to go through the Suez Canal, which in the Straits and through the canal, 20
9:26percent of the world's oil flows.
9:28And the destabilization that can take place because we are in a world economy.
9:33Regardless if people think we all are not, our economy is tied to the world,
9:36which is why the dollar is the number one currency around the world.
9:40And what happens in that region is very important.
9:43With Iran becoming a nuclear power, they would destabilize that entire area.
9:48And at any given time, they could threaten to shoot a nuke, and they could
9:51shut down those shipping lanes and cause extreme volatility in our economy.
9:56And there's no way to get around it because their ability to reach out so
10:00far. They had missiles that could reach all of our assets.
10:03And if you just want to know how important that area is, look at how
10:05many bases that we have just in that immediate region because of how important it
10:09is to the United States economy and our interests.
10:12And then our allies all the way into Europe, and they were trying to get
10:17a nuclear weapon that would fit the United States.
10:18If we didn't deal with them now, dealing with a nuclear Iran would have been
10:22a much worse issue, and it would have destabilized our economy not for weeks, but
10:27destabilized it for years or maybe decades because we may not have had another president
10:31with a backbone that President Trump did.
10:33Remember, seven presidents passed on a problem they knew they were going to deal with
10:36at some point. All this is very serious, but I'm sure you saw the video
10:42of Secretary of War Pete Hegseth bench -pressing 315 pounds.
10:48Yeah, I'm going to battle that.
10:50Yeah, okay, so did Buck.
10:51So we're going to... we're gonna put you you i want to hear what you
10:54bench because i remember uh i i saw the video of you doing the the
10:59pull -ups and the uh and the and the push -ups and then up we
11:02i remember the crazy video where you did like a mile worth of uh lunges
11:07which is one of the most insane things i've ever seen anybody do did you
11:10see that video i think clay might have said that guy's a freak of nature
11:14or something along those lines i mean a mile of lunges is is my personal
11:18hell i i think that that's like the baton death march uh for me if
11:23you maybe do a so yeah did you do you think that 315 was legit
11:27if 315 is very respectful listen anyone that could do 225 is very respectful i
11:32have a ridiculous bench um i you know i i do reps at 315 uh
11:38i i but so my max is probably but i haven't maxed a while that's
11:43my max is 405 but what do you weigh like 225 no i weigh one
11:49this morning i weighed 187 holy so how many reps are you doing on 315
11:54i do reps of five uh okay 15 yeah all right so do you think
12:00our secretary of war is maybe uh rocking a little trt i'm just throwing it
12:04out there i'm just throwing out there whatever he's rocking it's working and all right
12:09and again i told him i called him and i said i said i called
12:13we're friends so i called him pete but i'll do respect secretary heck seth but
12:17i said big brother i'm donnie good job i mean the way those way those
12:22men and women around you started getting so excited the secretary of war i mean
12:25when was the last time the secretary war even walked into a gym like that
12:28much less throw up 315 is pretty excited but i told him i said but
12:31listen i do reps with that he says i knew you were going to call
12:34me i do think that that getting guys in the gym to bench weight is
12:40a good idea to use free weights in general let me ask you this who
12:44is the strongest democrat like if we had a bench off right now in congress
12:49how many democrats can even do 225 now i i don't maybe jimmy panetta um
13:02there's not many right the guy who pulled uh jamal bowman the fire alarm guy
13:06he's out now he was a strong dude oh he's out okay that guy that
13:10guy couldn't do 10 push -ups um i think maybe jimmy panetta there's not a
13:14senator i know that um but jimmy i think could do 225 i've seen him
13:19in the gym he works out with me every now and then uh josh gunheimer
13:23i give him a hard time because i mean he may be able to shoot
13:2625 but he's only i mean it's only like a 18 inch travel um and
13:31by the way he's a really good friend of mine so i can make plenty
13:34of fun of him uh but i i don't know i mean it's not we've
13:38been kind of blessed and i mean that our our party is um you know
13:43i've elected some young people i mean i tell you who knows another person is
13:46freaking nature is is tim sheehy i mean that guy's stout is thousand hawks too
13:51he can he can throw up some serious but it is i mean it's it's
13:55fun to talk about but isn't being physically fit or at least attempting to put
14:00in the time to do it for men in particular a good message to be
14:04sending i think it's good for everybody i think it's mental more for me it's
14:09mental health right it's my morning cup of coffee i get up and go after
14:12it but it's also self -confidence like i don't have to go out there and
14:14prove myself to anybody um i don't i don't have to go in there and
14:18try to mix words with you even though i will the truth is when i'm
14:21walking around i feel confident i can handle my situation that comes in and so
14:26it's it's like some things that happen around here occasionally you have protests that happens
14:31and and people start they literally say i fear for my life i fear for
14:35my life and i think if you have a little bit of self -confidence about
14:37you and you realize that you can handle things you don't have to walk into
14:41a situation but if a situation happens you you feel confident enough to be able
14:46to handle yourself i know this is but come back to this because i bet
14:49we're gonna i should have asked you about this earlier save act we got a
14:52quick turn here but how optimistic are you of anything happening with it i think
14:57we vote on it uh in the next week or two i've been i've been
15:00expecting it to come up and i think it would already came up we didn't
15:03have this dhs issue we're dealing with uh the save act will i mean we'll
15:08get over 50 votes on it i just don't know where it's at i don't
15:11know how many votes we'll get on it but we'll get over 50 we won't
15:14hit 60 then the question is is what do you do with it um you
15:18know people talk about the talking filibuster the talking filibuster mike lee and i just
15:22we we we have had a lot of conversations and mike lee's man he's brilliant
15:27brilliant um but the way that i understand it talking the parliamentary and uh the
15:32reason why this hasn't happened is because in the last hundred your reason why we
15:36haven't done it last hundred years is because you basically to cede the floor to
15:40the democrats when you when you do this and at any given time two o
15:45'clock in the morning as they're doing their speeches they can call a quorum call
15:49if a quorum's not present so the republicans have to be on the floor to
15:52answer the quorum call or they start their debate time all over again and every
15:56time they call up an amendment it's like a filibuster that has no end time
16:00like a filibuster or not a filibuster but a voter rama meaning that every senator
16:05can talk two times on any issue and they can continue to bring up the
16:09issues which you could at that time i mean completely poison the the save act
16:15for instance it doesn't have to be germane since every since it doesn't have to
16:18be germane Because of the way the talking filibuster is, every amendment is a 51
16:23-vote threshold. So I'll just think if we get into Roe v.
16:27Wade, the whole abortion issue again, there could be some real consequential votes that take
16:33place on that because now you're only hitting 51.
16:36Senator Mullen, we've got to leave it there.
16:39We're at time. Thank you so much.

18:59Welcome back in here to Clay and Buck.
19:01Clay, I mentioned this. I thought we spent a couple minutes chatting about it.
19:05Supreme Court decision came down.
19:08And what the decision of the court was by 6 -3.
19:13Just think about this for a second.
19:15Three Supreme Court justices would have kept this law.
19:19We know which three. The three insane ones.
19:24That the state of California had a school policy that the gender transition of a
19:34student, who we're talking about minors here, teenagers, 13, 14, it was California school policy
19:43not to tell parents if a kid was in the process of gender transitioning.
19:54That is demonic. It is inexcusable.
19:58It is unfathomable. It is only something you could do if you were in the
20:03grips of some kind of leftist delusion that somehow you know better as the school
20:09system or the state of California knows better than the parents of the child or
20:13even just has more of a right to know than the parents of a child.
20:17But what this goes to, Clay, is this has always been the transing of the
20:23kids has been about separating family bonds, replacing the ultimate authority in your life from
20:31being your immediate family to being the state and giving the state a level of
20:37absolute control, that it went down six, three is obviously a good thing, but that
20:43the state of California even had this law and that any judge in the process
20:48tried to affirm this. Never mind, three Supreme Court justices would have kept it.
20:53Your kid can be taking hormones and having people, your kid instead of being called
20:59Bob is going to be called Sally and you don't get to know as a
21:03parent of the minor child.
21:06I had to get my, you know, I had to get all these things initialed
21:10by my parents at school all the time.
21:11If they gave me a bologna sandwich at school, I had to get my parents
21:14to initial it. It's crazy.
21:16And I think actually this is important.
21:20New York and California are suing to demand that hospitals continue to provide minors trans
21:29care. Think about that for a minute.
21:32The state attorney general, Letitia James in New York, and Rob Bonta, I think is
21:39the attorney general of California.
21:41They're suing to try to demand that hospitals in the states continue.
21:47to provide trans surgeries and care when the hospitals many of them are deciding they
21:53don't want to and they're they're making that decision buck because of the two million
21:57dollar verdict we just saw happen in westchester just outside of new york city let
22:01me give you a positive here vanderbilt can i just be yeah yeah before the
22:05before the positives because i think it's important clay you know the next step for
22:09california new york is going to be to pass legislation at the state level to
22:14indemnify any hospital or medical provider from those lawsuits and try to use state funds
22:21they're going to try to they're going to try to socialize the costs yeah it's
22:24probably lawsuits on to on to all taxpayers in those states if they can i
22:28mean i'm sure this gets into some very specific specific legal realities it's a challenge
22:33but they if they try to do that then you're hanging it up in the
22:37court for years let me give you a positive vanderbilt university ended all trans care
22:42for minors they basically have done away with surgeries in any way for people of
22:50any age and so in my home state of tennessee what you're seeing is uh
22:55under federalism many different states are saying yeah we've been we are aware of what
23:01was happening we're not going to allow it anymore and again this is where i
23:06think the plaintiff lawyers can be heroes the plaintiff lawyers can be heroes bucks talking
23:10about something they could do to try to indemnify uh the hospitals and say oh
23:16it's public policy we have to provide this surgery and we will make sure that
23:20if you get sued that you're not required to pay the uh to pay what
23:25the jury verdicts are or whatever else i i think that that is going to
23:29be very hard to do and i would encourage everybody out there we talked with
23:34uh uh the uh the the detransitioner uh soren um producer ali will remember her
23:41name she was great um in fact buck i think you were out that day
23:45she wrote a wall street journal editorial she actually suggested and i think maybe when
23:50the war in iran is resolved and we're not worried about that day -to -day
23:54basis she said i'll come on the show and take calls because there are a
23:58lot of parents and grandparents out there that have been told uh that they are
24:03being uh that they're doing a disservice to their kids if they don't embrace this
24:08soren aldaco uh is uh is her name and if you didn't listen to that
24:13it's up on youtube it's up on the podcast um i think the conversation she
24:17had where she talked about the fact that she had her breasts removed and was
24:21convinced that she was a boy and then as she aged she realized that she
24:26wasn't actually uh it wasn't act that wasn't actually the case but they get these
24:31kids and they give them surgeries and then you come out of your your phase
24:36i mean for many people that's what it is they're tomboys and a lot of
24:40you are tomboys out there listening to us right now and you ended up being
24:43very proud of the fact that you're a woman but maybe when you were 12
24:4613 or 14 you didn't feel like you fit your body very much which is
24:50common in puberty and that's why i think this is so particularly pernicious and awful
24:54uh by the way um gene in alabama uh you are 72 years old and
25:00you love your tesla do you think older people people are coming after us we'll
25:04have some fun with this uh we've got some talkbacks of people making fun of
25:08me for having a tesla but gene uh what do you think are you like
25:12me just kind of blown away by it oh my gosh i'm so blown away
25:17i love my tesla didn't think i would see this technology in my lifetime and
25:21i do a lot of traveling to jacksonville florida because my younger son lives down
25:25there so i super i charge here at the house i get all the way
25:29to tifton i do the supercharge for 20 minutes and i'm into jacksonville florida what's
25:34costing you less than 20 dollars it's crazy so it's it's fantastic and when i
25:40came home from jacksonville this last time my son asked me if i was tired
25:44i said i'm not tired but you may want to ask the car because it
25:47drove the whole way and it was an eight hour trip so you had it
25:50drive you for the eight hour trip um for people out there that are retirees
25:55maybe they're not as comfortable behind the wheel as they used to be it feels
25:59to me like a lot of them may not have tried this because it's new
26:02technology and they don't feel as comfortable what made you decide to try it okay
26:08so both of my sons have tessels we got them in august when we had
26:12got the 75 a hundred dollar rebate yep and i was i was very nervous
26:17but my son took me out he drove it first and showed me everything that
26:22i got in and we kind of went around to school and places where there
26:25was no traffic and then each of them uh set up the uh set it
26:31all up for me on the screen where you know everything was just automatic and
26:35now uh when i want to know something i just go on youtube sends me
26:40videos all the time and i just watch all these videos it really is remarkable
26:45it is it is absolutely wonderful and the thing that is is i don't think
26:51people realize what you're telling them when you say the car is driving itself yeah
26:57i don't think they get it i think it goes over their head well thank
27:01you for the call i think it goes over a lot of people's head because
27:04unless you do this yourself it's hard to explain how incredible it is now you
27:11ready for vip emails coming after us buck love the show says paul but i
27:17have to say you sound like a couple of girls talking about how little you
27:21like to drive real men love to drive i mean i just i don't even
27:27get into how much i want to be able to have like a little machine
27:30that files my nails and you know but i don't even i think this is
27:35generational i think like older guys might feel like real men drive i would rather
27:40work in the back of a car or work while i'm like i want to
27:44be efficient driving is super inefficient i can't do anything but drive i hate traffic
27:51because i'm just sitting there uh so i disagree stew says bucks already a little
27:56light in the loafers and clay clay just joined him i like elon but i
28:03find that tech beyond stupid how well will that car work when your power's out
28:09for a week or two have a great day you two swishy dudes i well
28:15first of all you can still have a gas powered vehicle if you want to
28:19have a gas powered vehicle how often is your power out for two weeks i
28:26that seems like a long time there are lots of charging stations all over the
28:29place i have a generator if that makes me super masculine so i don't think
28:33my power is going to be out that long uh here ever uh vip email
28:38from anthony great show you're wrong about autonomous driving vehicles remember the movie fail safe
28:44when the air force sergeant played by dom de louise inserts a circuit board into
28:49the war room computer it shorts it out this starts a chain of events where
28:52the computer issues attack commands to the orbiting nuclear bombers and launches them to moscow
28:57and they can't be recalled okay uh you can drive the car yourself like you
29:04just take the wheel i mean if the car starts doing something that you don't
29:10want it to do for instance it doesn't recognize my address because we're in a
29:15new neighborhood and so it started to pull the car into my neighbors uh this
29:20morning i just put my foot on the the brake and put my hand on
29:24the wheel and it goes wherever i want i mean you have still control to
29:28drive it if you want you can have a brand new airbus or boeing with
29:35all the bells and whistles that has like a safety profile of failure like one
29:42every three billion flying hours or something or or you could be right there with
29:49the like the weak hydraulics of the indiana jones plane from temple of doom where
29:55there's like you know the chickens flying around and you got to grab the handle
29:59and you got to pull really hard and you can feel the cold air which
30:02you know i mean that's it's manly to be flying that plane from the 1950s
30:06that's about to go into the side of the mountain but it's statistically not as
30:11good as an idea not as good of an idea as being in the brand
30:15new all the bells and whistles state -of -the -art plane for your safety i'm
30:20just saying this is the truth i mean to a large extent airplanes are autonomous
30:25now right i mean much of the airplane is handled to my understanding i don't
30:31fly but big aircraft uh passenger there still is obviously pilots there but they program
30:38them to a large extent once they are up in the air to take them
30:42where they need to go and i'm just telling you if you haven't tried it
30:45out i'm not saying you have to go buy one but i wanted something that
30:49was very safe for my kids and i wanted to be able to uh to
30:53find something that was very affordable and that combination is not always easy and uh
30:59i i'm blown away i i feel like i am seeing the future and again
31:03if you haven't tried it um i would just encourage you to try it out
31:06um and uh i'm not getting paid for any of this i don't think tesla
31:11spends a dollar on advertising that might be a poor decision plus as producer ali
31:16just said 40 000 people a year die in car accidents if we could take
31:21that to 20 000 that would be incredible just like we don't want murders i
31:25would like to severely diminish the number of people who die in traffic accidents and
31:30i think autonomous vehicles to a large extent have that ability to do it you
31:34know also i'm just gonna tell you guys it's a lot of you probably grew
31:36up and you're like you know it's manly drinking a beer you know what beer
31:41actually does makes you fat gives you man boobs and raises your estrogen level facts
31:46facts i still like but but fair enough but beer is like manly is a
31:54total marketing scam total marketing scam nothing manly about beer per se no more manly
32:01than having a sherry or having a glass of wine and if anything it raises
32:06your estrogen level so it's kind of the opposite of manly which people don't like
32:09to hear but this is just biochemistry go check it out for yourself estrogen elevating
32:15beer gives you moobs you don't want moobs it's true yeah you also well this
32:23is a probably not the transition that we uh that we anticipated here but ifcj
32:29trying to take care of people all over israel no matter whether they drive cars
32:34or whether they let autonomous vehicles drive them everywhere in all seriousness it is a
32:39very dangerous time uh in israel you And I went over there and I saw
32:45the work that this group does, the International Federation Fellowship of Christians and Jews.
32:50They do an amazing amount of work just for people who are in need.
32:55They bring food to people who don't have access to food.
32:59They build bomb shelters, as you're seeing.
33:01So many people in Israel are spending a lot of time in bomb shelters right
33:05now. They help to provide security at schools.
33:08They help to provide security for first responders so they have bulletproof vehicles.
33:13I went and saw in the kibbutzes, guys came and talked to me about the
33:18fact that when they arrived on that day and they were being shot at, they
33:21believe the reason they're alive is because there was added armor inside of their vehicles
33:26provided by the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews.
33:30Tomorrow, we're scheduled to have Yael Eckstein from the IFCJ on to tell us what
33:36life is like right now in Israel.
33:38But they could use your help to a great deal right now.

36:51She just comes right on in the show and lets us know that we have
36:54to record. This is one of the funniest.

37:04Last year, before you had your son, you and Carrie, people caught you saying that
37:10she was pregnant before you were told.
37:11Of all the things that could be caught.
