0:19All right, second hour of Clay and Buck comes in right now.
0:23Thanks for being here with us.
0:24Calling out the top of every hour, manufacturing delusion, manufacturing delusion, how the left uses
0:30brainwashing, indoctrination, and propaganda against you.
0:33My book took 18 months to write, six months for the CIA to clear.
0:37That's why I've been talking about this forever.
0:38It is finally out today.
0:39You can have it delivered to your home tomorrow.
0:41You can download the audio book now.
0:44Well, wait till after the radio show, of course.
0:46But today, I mean, you can download the audio book.
0:48I read it, so it's in my voice.
0:50I had a tiny bit of a cold, so if I sound a little husky,
0:53it's not because I'm trying to sound more literary.
0:54I had a little bit of a cold when I did the recording.
0:58But, you know, Clay and I are two guys who do a lot of media
1:01but also write our own books.
1:02So this is my book offering for all of you.
1:06Please go check it out.
1:07Let's beat that John Meacham book.
1:09He's a Trump hater. He's a smug lib, and he has a book out today.
1:12So that's in your hands, my friends.
1:15And, yeah, let's also, I think you'll find some interesting stuff in the book historically.
1:22Like, I talk about really the origin of the secret police as we know it,
1:29Clay. Just like a couple little, you know, leaving some breadcrumbs here.
1:32The origin of the Gestapo and also of the Cheka, which was the, and the
1:38Okrana, which were different versions of under the czar and then post - czar Russian
1:43Soviet, later Soviet secret police, started with Ivan the Terrible, Clay.
1:49Ivan the Terrible in the 16th century had a group that was loyal only to
1:56him called the Oprychniki, and they dressed in all black, and they rode around on
2:01black horses, and they had severed dog's heads that they carried on their saddles just
2:08to scare the crap out of everybody.
2:10And they had total... Would work for me.
2:13Extrajudicial authority to terrorize, kill, torture, loot anybody whom they deemed to be an opponent
2:23of Ivan, an opponent of his monarchy, of the regime.
2:27And the Nazis and Stalin, they were very aware of this.
2:32This is history that people forget about, but this was very real.
2:35So anyway, if you like history, because I'm talking about the current stuff, if you
2:38like history, it's in the book, and you'll find some really cool stories.
2:42I threw in some CIA stuff.
2:43I talk about Nigeria. I think I have to share a photo, Clay.
2:47I didn't put it in the book, obviously.
2:48I haven't shared it yet, of me in the Wesley Snipes VIP lounge 20 years
2:51ago in Abuja, Nigeria. Yeah.
2:54It was quite a... In front of an oil painting of Wesley.
2:58It's true. They had a big oil painting they commissioned because he went there.
3:02So that was... And this was one of these things, too, where, Clay, I was
3:06so junior and so young that when I told my office, hey, I'll go wherever,
3:10like, one of the bosses, who was kind of a salty old guy, was like,
3:13all right, nobody wants to go to Nigeria on this minute.
3:16Like, we'll send you. And when I was over there, people found out back home.
3:20They were like, you're like a trainee.
3:22What the hell are you doing there?
3:23You should be in, you know, you should be eating crumpets with the ambassador in
3:27London or something. Like, what are you doing?
3:29It was pretty funny, actually.
3:30They're like, do you want to...
3:31Are you okay? Do you want to come back?
3:32You've only been... I was like, no, I'm good.
3:34I actually had a really interesting experience there.
3:36I got to do crazy...
3:38You know, Clay, it's kind of like...
3:39How long were you in Nigeria?
3:41About six weeks. Oh, that's a pretty long time.
3:45Yeah. Oh, no, I was there, like, for a while.
3:47Yeah, yeah. It was not a quick...
3:49It was not a quick visit and moving around the country.
3:53So that was my first experience overseas with the agency.
3:57It was pretty fun, pretty cool stuff.
3:59And obviously, Nigeria is a...
4:01And Trump just... We had missile strikes there recently.
4:03We actually just had, Clay, I think, in the last few days, U .S.
4:09forces arriving in Nigeria. Now, they're on a training and assistance mission.
4:14But, I mean, those Delta guys or those SF guys, depending, sometimes, you know, the
4:19training, quote -unquote, is a little more than just training, if you know what I'm
4:24saying. So, yeah, anyway, they're in Nigeria.
4:26So that's in the book.
4:28And there's some other kind of fun little background stuff that I haven't talked about
4:33before. You know, Afghanistan, Iraq, all that good stuff.
4:37Anyway, Clay, so it all ties in.
4:39And now let's talk Trump.
4:41Speaking of international relations, here is Trump on Air Force One last night.
4:46AOC was in Munich, and we discussed that.
4:50But was the answer actually, people say it was Kamala -esque, but was it worse
4:57than Kamala? It's worse. Because Kamala, I think, because she'd never even answered it.
5:01It just turned into words.
5:03I think it's worse because some of the things that Kamala would stumble over and
5:09everything else were... I can't believe I'm defending Kamala on this.
5:16But were questions that she may not have expected.
5:21And to me, when you stumble over...
5:25questions that are self -evident again we even tried to give AOC some cover here
5:30to some extent you know she went to a foreign affairs event and knew she
5:36was speaking there if you are going to a foreign affairs event and know you
5:41are speaking there you should know the 10 most likely things that you're going to
5:46be asked and have a good answer for them getting asked as you well know
5:51because you just came back from Taiwan getting asked what America's response should be in
5:57the event that Taiwan is invaded by China is a foundational question of American foreign
6:05policy that has been discussed for generations and she's been in in uh elected and
6:13in Congress since 2019 so the idea that she doesn't have an answer to that
6:18question I think is is worse it would be like oh it would be like
6:23Kamala going to a pro -choice rally and not having an answer ready for what
6:29she thinks on abortion and I I think even Kamala Harris watched that answer and
6:35uh and was embarrassed by it let me say this too it must be blowing
6:41up on AOC in a negative way because she called the New York Times last
6:47night did you see this and gave a statement basically on what she was trying
6:54to say in that statement and when you call Pravda and you tell Pravda hey
7:01I need to address something that's being talked about here I think it's evidence that
7:06it's even registering on the Democrat side I might have gotten this wrong when I
7:10said hey if you're a left winger you're not even going to hear about this
7:15I think on social media partly because Elon has uh the ability to have a
7:20free marketplace I think AOC's answer was so bad it was getting attention I'll also
7:25say this I think some of AOC's rivals that expect that she may run for
7:32president in 2028 see it as an opportunity to kind of kneecap her with the
7:39donor class and just say this is not someone with the depth of knowledge to
7:44be able to be a forward -thinking leader of the party so I think maybe
7:49what I miscalculated was how other Democrats out there might have seen it as such
7:56a bad answer that they can curry favor in the quiet primary that's going on
8:01right now where everybody tries to convince people that they should be the one getting
8:07donor dollars uh so I I do think it managed to register and give producer
8:12Greg is out today but his mix which we played yesterday of Miss South Carolina
8:20and AOC was very well received on social media and uh and has been ricocheting
8:27around there as well um so uh so I do think that this kind of
8:32blew up on AOC in a way that she did not anticipate um and uh
8:37and that is the uh that is the reality there and speaking of the uh
8:43what were you gonna hit us with um so well no I was I was
8:50just gonna say Clay um uh Trump weighed in on this yes that's what we're
8:56initially going to yes that's right as Trump weighed in on what AOC says uh
9:00here we go play uh we'll play Trump talking to this clip one I watched
9:05AOC answering questions in Munich this was not a good look with the United States
9:10I watched Gavin Newsom answering questions in Munich and this was a bad look for
9:16our country this was a bad these two people are incompetent and at least Hillary's
9:21competent she's just Trump deranged she was so deranged and she is an angry woman
9:26but I watched the other two speaking and answering basic questions look Gavin has destroyed
9:33California and AOC I never heard her speak very much and they started answering questions
9:38she had no idea what was happening she had no idea how to answer you
9:41know very important questions concerning the world I you know I think that here is
9:51my thought in general and I think it ties in with Gavin Newsom going after
9:54Ted Cruz um whatever you think about JD Vance Marco Rubio Ted Cruz Josh Hawley
10:03uh I could run through a long list they are really smart dudes I I
10:10mean if you just had a quiz bowl and you got Marco Rubio JD Vance
10:16uh Ted Cruz and Josh Hawley and I mentioned those four because I think there's
10:21a decent chance they're all gonna run in 2028 and also I know them personally
10:26they're really smart dudes AOC uh not very smart I don't think Buck and and
10:33and every time she answers questions now she's skilled on social media uh and there
10:41is a degree of uh of of panache and talent that is based on that
10:47but when you have any depth of knowledge that's required to analyze issues She doesn't
10:53have it. And look, Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton, you disagree with them.
10:58I think they're actually pretty smart people.
11:00I'll give you another couple.
11:01Rahm Emanuel. Sounds like he's going to run in 2028.
11:04You may or may not agree with him.
11:06I think he's a pretty smart guy.
11:09Jasmine Crockett, AOC, Gavin Newsom.
11:12Did you see him coming after Ted Cruz because Ted Cruz called him historically illiterate?
11:19Did you see that? Yes, of course.
11:21Well, it just proved how historically illiterate it's crazy.
11:28Gavin Newsom, for those of you who didn't see it, maybe we have the audio
11:31or we can pull it because Ted Cruz, a part of the iHeart Network on
11:35his verdict podcast. He was walking through Ted Cruz and basically saying, like, he's historically
11:40illiterate. He doesn't understand the history of federal and state.
11:46I'm paraphrasing, but federal and state power and how that interaction occurs.
11:52And Governor Gavin Newsom or his staff grabbed that and said, this is a new
11:59low even for Ted Cruz.
12:01How dare he attack me for being dyslexic?
12:06And I'm sorry. Like, we use that phrase all the time.
12:10We talk about historical illiteracy and how it is so significant in this country that
12:15nobody understands anything based on history and therefore does such a poor job as a
12:20result. And Gavin Newsom wanted to be victimized and said that that was an attack
12:26by Ted Cruz on the fact that he was dyslexic.
12:29First of all, did you know Gavin Newsom was dyslexic?
12:32I had no earthly idea that Gavin Newsom was dyslexic.
12:36I mean, no one knows that Gavin Newsom is dyslexic.
12:40So, the idea even that he was being attacked based on his dyslexia, I would
12:46be stunned if Ted Cruz knows anything about Gavin Newsom's dyslexia.
12:50But the fact that Gavin Newsom saw that as an attack, again, I wonder, Gavin
12:55Newsom, AOC, Jasmine Crockett, Kamala, how actually intelligent are these guys?
13:03Did Kamala fail the bar exam the first time in California?
13:06Or am I making that up?
13:07She failed it the first time.
13:08Well, I mean, I don't know.
13:10I would bet money the answer was yes.
13:12Let me see. Look up.
13:15Did Hillary fail the bar exam?
13:17You were saying Hillary was so smart.
13:18I want to point this out.
13:19I think she, hold on, I think she failed like three times, Clay.
13:22Okay. I'm not sure how many times she failed.
13:24I think what I will give defense as a warrior here is what I care
13:29about is the first time you take the bar.
13:32Because you spend months preparing for it, months studying for it, all of those things.
13:37I took back -to -back bar exams.
13:39Yeah, she failed it. Kamala failed it the first time, passed on her second try.
13:42To be fair, the California bar, I think, is supposed to be a pretty hard
13:46one. So that's not, you know, we've got to be real here.
13:50If you fail the bar exam the first time that you take it, everybody out
13:54there who is a lawyer knows this.
13:57You spend months preparing for it, studying for it, everything else.
14:00I was going to give people passes if they fail.
14:03I've taken two bar exams in my life.
14:04I'm two for two. U .S.
14:06Virgin Islands and Tennessee, back -to -back years.
14:08But the second year that I took the bar exam, I was practicing law full
14:14-time. So sometimes people fail bar exams.
14:18If you're practicing law full -time and trying to remember all of the details and
14:23study for it to pass, I'll sometimes give you a pass on that.
14:27If you fail the bar exam the first time that you take it, I think
14:31it's an indictment of you, personally.
14:34Just to be clear, Hillary failed.
14:36She passed the Arkansas bar, failed the D .C.
14:39bar. But I bet she was doing full -time work when she took the D
14:44.C. bar. Small measure of credit to Hillary there.
14:49Studying for the bar exam is hard.
14:50And it has, you can be, some of the most brilliant lawyers in America right
14:55now, if they took the bar exam, would fail it.
14:57Because you have to memorize all this random stuff that you will never actually use
15:02once you begin to practice law.
15:05I think there's a decent chance I would fail the bar exam if I took
15:08it tomorrow. Because I've been 20 barred for 20 -some -odd years.
15:12But you just have to study and memorize a lot of things that you would
15:15never apply otherwise. Failing the first time is an indictment, I think.
15:20So, not surprising to me.
15:22We're having AI wars here.
15:24Producer Allie, I just typed into Google, did Hillary fail the bar?
15:28And the AI from Gemini says, yes, Hillary failed the District of Columbia bar exam
15:34on her first attempt in 1973.
15:37Although she did not pass the D .C.
15:39bar, she had a successful legal career and passed the Arkansas bar.
15:43So, I mean... I don't know the math on this.
15:47Usually, and I don't know the math back in 1970s, after like five years, they
15:51would let you wave in.
15:52So, a lot of people don't have to take bar exams after you've practiced full
15:56-time for five years or so.
15:58So, I don't know what she was trying to do there.
16:01We'll do research on what the Hillary bar passage is.
16:04But I think Hillary is quite a bit smarter than Kamala.
16:07I would put a lot of money on that.
16:08Do you remember, this is always a fun one.
16:09Do you remember how everyone was saying George Bush was so dumb because of his
16:12grades at Yale when he was running against John Kerry?
16:14And then they realized that his grades were better than John Kerry's at Yale at
16:18like the same time? That was great.
16:20That was great. By the way, look at somebody's, I mean, to be fair, when
16:24you're 50 or 60 and people are looking at your college grades, it's a weird
16:28thing to do, I think.
16:29Look, although get good grades while you can.

19:27All right, welcome back into Clay and Buck.
19:29We're joined by Congressman Jim Jordan of Ohio.
19:33Congressman, always a pleasure. Thank you for coming to hang out on Clay and Buck
19:37once again. And I know you have some new reading material, especially because having been
19:43a doubter of the 104 -mile -an -hour serve, we know you're not a doubter
19:48of the soon -to -be bestseller manufacturing delusion, Congressman.
19:52So I'm glad you have your comment.
19:53Congrats. Congrats. Thank you. I look forward to reading every single word and learning.
20:01No, I've heard you talk about it and some of the things you cover in
20:03the book, so I am excited about getting the chance to look through it.
20:06Thank you. I talk about the origin of the assassin, Nazari Ismailisak.
20:11They talk about, like, there's cool stuff in there beyond just the political commentary and
20:15some of the, you know, sort of psycho -political analysis stuff.
20:19Anyway, so please go get your copies, everybody, manufacturing delusion.
20:22Congressman, how are we doing?
20:24I mean, you know, we just, I want to take a step back.
20:27It's been a year of Trump, and we were ready to say, you know, the
20:32call the balls and strikes on stuff.
20:33On the big policy issues, everything looks great.
20:36On the immigration issue, things have been phenomenal at securing the border.
20:40Deportation is obviously ongoing. Democrats want to hold up a portion of government funding over
20:46the, like, can you explain what the heck is going on with that?
20:50Yeah, this is the crazy left again.
20:51You know, they did it for 43 days last fall on, you know, on Obamacare,
20:56you know, where everything they told us turned out to be false.
20:59Like your plan, keep your plan.
21:00Like your doctor, keep your doctor.
21:01Premiums will go down. You know, they were 0 for 3, but they want to
21:04shut down the government for 43.
21:05Same mindset here. They're saying, oh, unless you change policies on how you go get
21:12people who are in this country illegally, we're going to shut the government down, which
21:15is exactly what they did.
21:16But they forget to address, and you guys were talking about this last week and
21:20doing a great job, until they address the sanctuary jurisdiction crazy policies that are out
21:28there. I don't know how you get a handle on it, because what's happened in
21:33now almost a third of the country, 18 cities, 11 states, three counties, and the
21:38District of Columbia representing 31 percent of the population of our great country.
21:42So in roughly a third of the country, left -wing political officials tell their local
21:48law enforcement. enforcement don't work with federal law enforcement.
21:51When you have in your jail, in your detention center, an illegal migrant who's also
21:57been charged with some other crime, when a detainer is sent there from the federal
22:00government saying, just, hey, if you're going to release this guy, let us know.
22:04Give us a call. We'll come pick him up there at the jail or at
22:07the detention center. But instead, they say, no, we're going to release him to the
22:11streets. And 17 ,000 times that we know of, bad guys were released to the
22:16streets in one year's time, 2025.
22:19And many of them went out and did crimes.
22:22I mean, one guy was released the very next day.
22:24He killed an individual who was under a detainer.
22:26So until we address that, I don't know how you solve this because that whole
22:32policy creates this environment, this framework where you get the bad things that have happened,
22:37the tragic things that happened like we saw up in Minneapolis.
22:40We're talking to Congressman Jim Jordan.
22:43Congressman, appreciate you coming on.
22:44You just, we had a conversation about this and I think it's really important for
22:48people out there. Supremacy clause says that the federal government gets to make decisions on
22:54immigration. You and I talked about this, but I want to hammer it home here.
22:57We talked on this program.
22:59You probably came on and talked about it with us.
23:01And I know a lot of people in Texas came on and talked about it.
23:04The fact that Texas wanted to secure their border and the court said Texas can't
23:10do it because the state cannot make immigration policy.
23:13The federal government does. I don't understand.
23:16And I think it's a really easy legal argument to tie together why Texas couldn't
23:21take that act. And all of these, as you just said, 31 % of the
23:25country, states, cities and states that are blue think that they can basically implement their
23:31own immigration policy. I think the courts have to make this determination.
23:35Great point. And we're going to try to help them by passing legislation out of
23:38our committee next week, which would address that fact and say, no, no, federal law
23:42preempts. And if you have a state that says, let's say you've got a county
23:45in California that says, no, we're a conservative, our sheriff, we want to work with
23:48federal law enforcement in the situation I just described.
23:51We want to work with them.
23:52And they say, well, no, no, you can't do that because of state law.
23:54We want to be able to say, no, if that federal, if that county sheriff
23:57or that county jurisdiction wants to work with the federal government, they can go ahead
24:00and we will step in and represent them and defend them if in fact the
24:04state comes after them. So that's part of what we want to pass in our
24:07bill next week. Not to mention, if you're one of these states and you have
24:11sanctuary city policies, there should be some ramifications in the federal funding that comes in
24:15certain grant programs to your state.
24:17And then finally, we want to put in the bill as well, if you're a
24:21family or an individual who's been harmed by someone who was let out, who should
24:26have been not released to the streets, but released to ICE, if they let that
24:30individual out and they do something harmful to you or your family, you have a
24:34private right of action. That's the only way I can see that we can address
24:37this problem and deal with what, again, 31 .5 % of the United States population
24:43is living under as we speak.
24:46That's how important this is.
24:47And again, as I said, if we don't address this, I don't know how you
24:50get a handle on all this situation.
24:53How are we doing when it comes to maintaining control of the House?
24:58I know we're early, but we are in a midterm cycle.
25:01How do you see this?
25:02What do you feel like are the top issues?
25:05Obviously, Trump administration's dialing in here on the economy affordability, but also able to look
25:11at some pretty impressive numbers on GDP.
25:13And obviously, you know, the stock market has been has been rocketing up.
25:17So what do you see as the central?
25:18Is it just going to be the economy immigration election?
25:21Is health care going to play a bigger role as you move along?
25:25How do you see it?
25:27And in a general sense, I think modern day campaigns are pretty basic.
25:30Go tell the people what you did.
25:32We ran for the job.
25:33You guys elected us. Here's what we did.
25:35We did what we said.
25:36And you can say we've secured the border.
25:37We've cut taxes, record tax cuts, record time in securing the border.
25:40We gave school choice to parents in the big, beautiful bill.
25:43And we can rattle off all the things we've done.
25:45And then I think it's always important in modern politics to remind the voters what
25:51happens if the left gets back in charge.
25:53Never forget to remind the voters the left is crazy.
25:56It's crazy to defund the police.
25:58It's crazy to say you want to abolish ICE.
25:59It's crazy not to have a border, which is all the things that were taking
26:02place under the previous administration.
26:03It's crazy to shut down the government for 43 days.
26:05It's crazy to have this sanctuary city policy where you release bad guys onto the
26:11street who do harm to people in those communities when you could have turned them
26:15over to federal law enforcement.
26:16So I think we have to remind the voters of that as we move forward.
26:20And then also underscore, I do think the economy is improving.
26:23We had 4 .3 % growth last quarter.
26:26Stock markets at $50 ,000.
26:27I mean, it's like unbelievable what we're seeing.
26:29So remind the voters of that as well.
26:31But that's what campaigns are.
26:33We're going to say one thing.
26:33They're going to say another.
26:34We're going to have the debate and the people get to decide.
26:37But I feel like we've got a good story to tell, particularly when we also
26:40remind the voters, remember what happens when the left's in charge.
26:44We can go back to that if they, if they, if they won this midterm.
26:47I think this important argument you just made.
26:50Um, and let me give you an example that I think you're going to be
26:52nodding your head at because it's just across the Potomac from where you are.
26:56Abigail Spanberger got elected in Virginia.
26:58She ran 100 % as a moderate, as a no nonsense mom who just wants
27:04to be a normal leader.
27:06She has gotten in office and in her first month in Virginia, they're trying to
27:11knock Republicans down to one congressional seat.
27:15They have embraced. raced far left wing crazy town agendas tax increases have come across
27:21she in one month has demonstrated that she is actually a radical leftist i like
27:26what you said jim because trump is maybe the most transactional president that we've ever
27:32seen in that he said here's the list of things i'm gonna do this is
27:36what i'm gonna run on and then he got into office and he basically just
27:40went right down the list check check check check check whereas they lie and do
27:44the opposite of what they claim they're going to do great great point and and
27:48you could add to that list of what governor spanberger's is focused on too is
27:51taking away people's second amendment rights in the state of virginia so it just she
27:55ran as the quote moderate governor who is you know had a background in the
27:59cia and working in in the military she ran as that individual and gets in
28:03and does all the left -wing things and there you're right on the on the
28:06redistricting they're looking to take a six five five six democrats five republicans virginia to
28:12ten to one and they got all this this these spider you know these links
28:16coming out from northern virginia all over the state so yeah that that i think
28:20again remind the voters this is who the left is and the left now controls
28:25the democrat party and they will go for all these all these crazy policies i
28:30still maybe we talked about this before but sarah huckabee sanders a few years ago
28:34i use this all the time but i thought it was well done she gave
28:37the response to the state of the union and her best line was when she
28:39said the divide in america today is normal versus crazy and you can go down
28:44the list of all the crazy policies the left has i think it's always important
28:47to remind the voters that that's the case and when you do the vast majority
28:51of voters are common sense people and they'll elect republicans congressman um to that to
28:57that end of normal versus crazy we started off the show talking about the horrific
29:02shooting um in rhode island involving a clearly i mean you just look at a
29:08photo of the guy the guy's deranged i thought the guy's clearly not yeah okay
29:11clearly not yeah kills his own family the whole thing a horrible horrible situation horrible
29:15story we know that there have been a series of these shooting shootings uh you
29:19know high profile mass murder shootings involving these uh individuals who are psychotic and who
29:26are you know self -identify as trans and the whole thing do democrat colleagues in
29:32congress really believe this transgender ideology stuff on in on the on the whole in
29:39general or are they just too scared of the 10 to 15 percent of the
29:45radical left of their party like i'm just wondering if you can give us some
29:49context here for you know does hakeem jeffries really think there's no difference between a
29:53man and a woman that babies are assigned gender at birth does he believe that
29:57if you sit down over tea with him or coffee or whatever is he like
30:01yeah babies get assigned gender at birth because i want to see congressman jeffries say
30:05that if he believes that yeah i think the vast majority don't believe that i
30:09but i i think again we're back to the energy in their part has embraced
30:18this you know this whole transgender thing and a host of other crazy policies and
30:23that that's that's the energy so that's where they get the financing that's where they
30:27get the campaign bodies it's dry it's driven by politics so i do think that's
30:31the case um again it's just like time and time again we see these these
30:36crazy things happen and and the left will go defend uh the the transgender policies
30:41out there that that seem to be part of this so um i i don't
30:45think they they buy it but i do think it's driven by the hard left
30:49and the politics that are associated with that good stuff as always have you been
30:54watching the winter olympics how do you think you'd do as a curler i'm fascinated
31:00by the whole thing so i'll click it on and watch a little bit of
31:03it and and then of course the controversy you know that was unbelievable like his
31:06what his finger i think it was the canadian i forget what team like his
31:10finger touched an extra little pusher a little spin or something like wow um go
31:15go go figure so yeah i'm fascinated by it but i i actually prefer the
31:19sportswear here like like the cross -country skiing like that is just those people are
31:23just tough so i kind of like watching some of that did you see the
31:26video of the guy running uphill on skis at a six minute mile pace i
31:32mean that is one of the craziest things i've ever seen no kidding no kidding
31:36so those guys are amazing and and the speed skating this uh this uh the
31:40stoles guy i think who's uh won so many medals he he's like old school

33:34Hi, I'm Lita, and my business, The Donut Mom, is backed by ComBank.
33:38When we opened, it was just me and my husband, Holly.
33:42No big team, no fancy systems.
33:45You see the big stores and think, they've got people for everything.
33:48We've just got each other.
33:50But with ComBank, I know our business payments are protected.
33:54That matters because this place is everything to us.
33:57Business security baked in. No doubt.

34:03Welcome back in. Clay Travis, Buck Sexton Show.
34:07Okay, a little bit of information.
34:10We have not talked Nancy Guthrie today at all because, frankly, there has not been
34:15very much story evolution advancement here.
34:21But there's been a lot of talk about a glove that they found.
34:24This is according to Matt Finn at Fox News.
34:27Sheriff Nanos tells Fox News that one glove recovered about two miles from Nancy Guthrie's
34:34home, did not match DNA in Nancy's home, and also didn't have a hit on
34:40CODIS. That is, Buck. They did a DNA test.
34:43They found DNA. They still have no idea who, at least according to this, they
34:48still have no idea who was potentially in Nancy Guthrie's home.
34:52It is a little bit strange, Clay, to see how much media coverage, kind of
34:57ongoing media coverage this gets with almost nothing happening.
35:03It's just the speculation Olympics.
35:05People have no idea. It's just people showing up on TV explaining the basics of
35:09procedure, which I'll be honest with you, if you watch enough Law & Order and
35:14CSI, you already know about 80 % of that stuff.
35:17And then just people saying, here's my theory.
35:20I don't know why there's that much fascination with that speculation, but look, we just
35:26want this woman to be returned home safe and sound.
35:29I just, from a news coverage standpoint, it's remarkable to me.
35:32Clearly this is getting ratings, but people are watching this, you know, like a war
35:38is about to start or something.
35:39I mean, there's such a fascination, and there's not anything happening.
35:44Women love true crime. I mean, that is a 100 % data -analyzed truth.
35:52Women, not to say some men don't too, but if you go look at all
35:57these podcasts that are true crime, if you go look at all the television shows
36:02that are true crime -based, women are obsessed with crime stories.
36:07So my bet would be that if you break down, because they don't put on
36:12these stories constantly unless there is some direct connection to the ratings, right?
36:19People say, oh, they're just throwing, like, no, they're, I mean, Fox News, MSNBC, and
36:24CNN are in the ratings business.
36:26This stuff rates highly. I think it's women.
36:29Women are obsessed with true crime stories.
36:32Now, the problem, leaving aside the actual crime that took place, is what you're hitting
36:38on, most true crime stories have evolution.
36:41There is a plot point you learn more information as you go along.
36:46I don't know that we know anything more really right now than we knew, what
36:53is it, she disappeared about 17 days ago, something like that.
36:57I don't know that we know much more than what we knew the day or
37:00two after this happened. Is there even a primary, you're following this more closely than
37:05I am, is there even a primary theory right now about what happened?
37:08Like, I mean, a most common theory that is far and away?
37:12I think the most common theory has been that Savannah Guthrie's family was involved, at
37:17least online. That has been specifically shot down by the sheriff there saying, we have
37:23investigated everybody involved in the family.
37:26There are zero connections to the family.
37:28The family is not involved.
37:30But when I look online, that's been the one that people are talking about the
37:34most. Again, according to the sheriff, that is not true.
37:37So anyway, that glove did not, at least based on the public commentary, change the
37:42trajectory of this story very much.
37:44When we come back, Texas Senate voting has begun in the primary.
37:49What's going on? We'll tell you.
37:52Hi, I'm Lita, and my business, The Donut Mom, is backed by ComBank.
37:57When we opened, it was just me and my husband, Holly.
38:00No big team, no fancy systems.
38:03You see the big stores and think they've got people for everything.
38:07We've just got each other.
38:09But with ComBank, I know our business payments are...
38:11protected. That matters because this place is everything to us.
