0:35Clay Travis, Buck Sexton Show.
0:37Let me hit you with a bunch of news.
0:39We're about to be joined by Congressman Chip Roy.
0:43So, the price of oil and gas, we talked about this a bit.
0:48Overnight, it hit $120 a barrel.
0:52It is back down now to around $95 a barrel, meaning it has fallen $25
0:59since many of us went to bed last night.
1:04Coming back down, still up since the Iran invasion, but not the crazy spike that
1:10it looked like there was going to be as we were going to bed last
1:14night and the oil and gas market opened.
1:17So, down. I mean, this is true.
1:18About $25. Stock market, we talked, even when we started on the show, the stock
1:25market was moving substantially, and we said, hey, just stay calm.
1:29Stock market now, not very moved at all.
1:33Relatively flat. President Trump going to speak at 5 .30 Eastern, I believe from down
1:39at Doral in South Florida, about many of these issues and more.
1:44We also now, Jess Tish, I'm not sure if she's speaking.
1:49She is speaking live. Guys, if we can roll on this.
1:54There have been two individuals arrested for ISIS -inspired attacks.
2:00These are American citizens. These IED devices that fortunately did not go off were thrown
2:07outside of Gracie Mansion in New York City.
2:09And the head of the NYPD, Jess Tish, is talking about exactly what the charges
2:16reflect. Right now, we will give you those updates in the near future.
2:21We bring in now Congressman Chip Roy, who is focused on a lot of different
2:27things, including he is now in a runoff for the attorney general position in Texas,
2:33I believe, if I'm not mistaken.
2:35So, Congressman, let's start there.
2:37It's late May is the runoff.
2:40What is the latest on that campaign?
2:43As we also have the former attorney general in a runoff going up against John
2:48Cornyn on the Senate side.
2:50Several runoffs still to come in the primary in Texas.
2:55Yeah, great to be on.
2:57And really appreciate your all's focusing on this raise because it's so critically important for
3:03not just the state of Texas, but for the country.
3:06In the horrific event that we do not retain the majority in the House or
3:10the Senate, there's not going to be a more important job than the office of
3:14the attorney general in the state of Texas, which is the biggest law firm in
3:17Texas and the most important AG's office.
3:19So, you know, when I decided to run, it was partly looking at the future
3:23about needing somebody who has the chops and the background and the expertise to do
3:27it. We are in a runoff.
3:29We expected to be in a runoff because we had a four -way split, two
3:32state senators with some significant name idea, a fourth credible opponent.
3:37And then, you know, my opponent spent $18 million, the one that's in the runoff.
3:43And with all due respect to him, he is a trust fund kid who's never
3:47been in a courtroom, never practiced law, never prosecuted a bad guy, never been in
3:53the AG's office. I'd be hard -pressed to hire him when I'm the attorney general.
3:57And I think you need to have the ability to do this on day one.
4:02I am the former first assistant attorney general.
4:04I am a former federal prosecutor.
4:06I've been in Congress for four terms, almost eight years, chairman of the subcommittee of
4:11the Constitution. I was a lawyer for Rick Perry.
4:14I've been a lawyer on the Judiciary Committee.
4:16I know how to do this job.
4:17So that's what the race is going to be about.
4:19We're out there raising the money.
4:21And we're going to go toe -to -toe.
4:23And we have not gone negative on him.
4:25He went very negative on me.
4:27So, you know, we'll be returning fire in this cycle, and we're going to win
4:32handily. Chip, appreciate you being with us.
4:35Can we talk about the SAVE Act for a minute here?
4:37Because I've got to tell you something.
4:38Every time we do a show, if we don't bring it up at least once
4:43an hour, someone gets mad out there at us.
4:46It's very important, and we agree it's so important.
4:48But there's also limitations to how much we, with our almost 600 stations and et
4:54cetera, et cetera, but how much we can make this happen.
4:57It is up to the Congress to make this happen.
4:59What is the state of the SAVE Act, and why aren't we seeing more of
5:05a push to at least make the talking filibuster happen from Democrats, make the American
5:09people see in an election year that they just frankly don't want election security?
5:15Yeah, so I think this would be a one -hour conversation because it's so complex
5:22for the complexity of the Senate rule.
5:24you didn't get over there, how many people think about this?
5:24It's very important. But I'm just going to distill this to the basics.
5:27The Senate can do three things.
5:29They can establish a quorum, like be in a quorum call or go find 51.
5:35You've got to have a quorum.
5:36Or they can be speaking or they can be voting.
5:38That's it. Those are the three options.
5:40So the question here is whether or not you're going to do what the Senate
5:44has gotten used to. It is what people don't fully understand.
5:48The Senate has gotten accustomed to putting the Senate in a default state of a
5:53quorum call. That means they're not even there.
5:55They come into session, but they're not really doing anything.
5:59They're then meeting and they're deciding what few things they'll vote on.
6:03And then meanwhile, they're processing some number of the president's appointees.
6:07Frankly, not fast enough. And so they decide whether to vote.
6:11They vote in two circumstances.
6:13Either they've come up with a grand bargain that Democrats or Republicans agree to, which
6:17usually means the American people get screwed and they spend hundreds of billions of dollars
6:21and they get 80 something votes.
6:24Or it's a partisan issue like this and they go ahead and have a fake
6:30theater vote, right? And they have a vote.
6:33They put it on the floor, 53 vote for it.
6:35And then they go give a press conference saying we tried.
6:37We didn't have 60 votes.
6:39They're used to that. That's a long winded way of saying they're accustomed to not
6:44doing the job. If we force them to do a talking filibuster, it will change
6:49the dynamic of the Senate.
6:50It will be like Mr.
6:52Smith goes to Washington. They will have to mean it.
6:55They will have to actually show up.
6:58So that's all we're asking them to do.
6:59We're not asking for a change in rules.
7:01We're asking for soon to be on the floor, to have a few senators available
7:05to make sure they block any weird unanimous consent requests.
7:09And then when the Democrats stop talking, we need to present 51 members to say,
7:14yes, you're going to talk or we're going to vote.
7:16And you do that for weeks in the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
7:20It was on the floor for three months.
7:22We moved 30 votes through political pressure.
7:25Democrats didn't want to have civil rights.
7:27We beat them. Democrats today don't want us to have citizens voting and voter ID.
7:32We can beat them if we put it on the floor.
7:34But the Senate has to change.
7:38We're talking to Chip Roy running for attorney general still in Congress.
7:43What should happen in your mind if the president called you and said, hey, we
7:48got the situation in Iran going on right now.
7:51Price of oil and gas spiked last night, as you well know, it says being
7:55down in Texas by it's now come back twenty five dollars.
8:00And I just tweeted the stock market has come back substantially so that MSNBC is
8:06not showing the stock ticker on their television network anymore.
8:10We pointed out they only show it when it goes down.
8:13What would you tell President Trump?
8:15You've got you're on the ballot for the midterm elections coming up now.
8:19House and Senate, lots of key state races as well across the nation.
8:24What's the best way to handle this if he asked your opinion?
8:29Well, the president and I do talk on occasion.
8:32I'm not in South Florida at our strategic retreat because I'm campaigning in Texas.
8:36But what my message is to the White House now and what it has been
8:41publicly and will be to the president when we speak is stay the course and
8:45keep leading. He is smart.
8:48He's going to watch this.
8:50The reason the stock market isn't collapsing is because the stock market knows that there's
8:55a balance here on oil prices.
8:58We're in a good spot because America can produce oil.
9:01This is not the America twenty something years ago where we were so beholden to
9:06Middle East oil that we'd be on the chopping block.
9:09We're getting a twofer out of this right now.
9:12China is taking it on the chin on oil.
9:14We can produce oil through fracking and hard, you know, the hard work here in
9:18America. And we're in a pretty good spot now.
9:22We don't want to have unrest in perpetuity.
9:24The president doesn't want that either.
9:27We are taking out their conventional capability.
9:29We're taking out their nuclear capability.
9:31We are knocking out the evil parts of the regime.
9:35The key issue right now is, as the president said yesterday in his very unique
9:41way, hey, when will this end?
9:42And he said, when they cry uncle.
9:44And I think the president is going to push this right up to the point
9:48that he needs to to back the Iranian people, try to make sure they don't
9:52put a crazy person in charge, try to force Iran to do the right thing
9:57and then pull back and let's get busy doing what we need to do to,
10:01you know, finish this economy being strong, get back to where we need to be.
10:05But I think the market is factoring a lot of that in.
10:09And, you know, we can withstand oil going up a little bit.
10:12We can produce oil and then that'll all settle back down.
10:16Gas prices will get back down.
10:17But let's remember, gas prices go up infinitely more in California and New York and
10:22highly regulated places than they do in Texas.
10:25Here, our gas prices don't fluctuate that much because we don't have so many regulations
10:29on it. So the president needs to just keep his foot on the gas and
10:33lead because we were elected to lead.
10:35We weren't elected to get reelected.
10:37When you start trying to get reelected as your policy aim, you lose.
10:41When you lead, you win and the president's leading.
10:44And we're speaking to Congressman Chip Roy, Congressman, and you might have even touched on
10:50some of this year, but I'm trying to follow all.
10:52all the latest and greatest that you're uh you're dialed in on the dhs funding
10:57situation what that what the heck is going on with this and is this is
11:01we've seen these big tsa lines there's dhs funding holdups but there's funding that's already
11:07in place like can you make make sense of this for everybody so we know
11:09what the heck's happening well remember that last year we put in place funding for
11:17ice and border patrol and that is enabling us to continue to do our work
11:22to secure america but the democrats pulling back the funding on dhs because they want
11:29to make a show about ice is leaving tsa coast guard fema and other functions
11:35dangling so now we're seeing that pressure that's going to unfold in the airports when
11:43people are trying to travel and they have three hour and four hour waits because
11:46we're going to start losing personnel because what the administration is having to do is
11:49to start saving money by constraining operations and then you've got personnel who aren't getting
11:56paid so they have to show up they have to manage personal issues daycare life
12:00gasoline so things are going to start getting worse and democrats are going to own
12:05it we have to stay the course and make sure the american people know that
12:08democrats caused this problem we have passed funding bills we passed three funding bills and
12:14democrats have rejected those uh in favor of politics we stand with ice we stand
12:18with border patrol we stand with doing our job we stand with tsa and coast
12:23guard and fema democrats are blocking it and they've got to own that congressman chip

15:22into clay and buck we got jesse tish in new york as the nypd commissioner
15:26and turn back the clock 15 years i was uh sometimes sitting in a conference
15:33room with uh then analyst jessica tish and i was an analyst too in the
15:38nypd she was on the counterterrorism side i was on the intel side which do
15:42they did very similar things intel kind of did more counterterrorism and counterterrorism did more
15:48site security it was a little bit of a weird misnomer point being she's been
15:52in this game a long time she knows what she's talking about and she's competent
15:56uh and she's a competent manager and and has the respect it is very hard
16:01to get the respect of a lot of cops when you haven't been a cop
16:05and they just know i'll tell you that when i when i was the nypd
16:10bloomberg had a lot of respect even though obviously that guy had never been a
16:14cop but he let ray kelly who was a cop's cop and very much celebrate
16:20bop bop b Thank you.
16:20traded uh in new york city for all that he did he let ray kelly
16:23run that run that department and keep the city safe and it was like a
16:29swiss watch as much as it could be i mean it was really a good
16:32combo the cops that i worked with all had the real cops i was like
16:36a you know analyst civilian guy uh they all had very good things to say
16:39not just about kelly but about about bloomberg because he knew what he knew and
16:44he knew what he didn't know and that's a very important thing for anybody who's
16:47going to have power and and be in a managerial role i bring all this
16:51up because jesse tish the commissioner is saying commission commissioner tish is saying um there's
16:58a terror attack and we've got more audio of her explaining this is isis inspired
17:02to play it guys we can now share that federal charges have been filed in
17:07the southern district of new york against two individuals amir balat and ibrahim kayumi in
17:13connection with that attack the defendants are charged with attempting to provide material support to
17:18isis using a weapon of mass destruction transporting explosive materials interstate transportation and receipt of
17:26explosive materials and unlawful possession of destructive devices the complaint sets forth the factual allegations
17:34supporting those charges as alleged in the complaint the defendants were inspired by isis to
17:41carry out their attack and as alleged both defendants have admitted that they acted on
17:46saturday because of isis clay this is for them to be coming out saying this
17:53from the for the police commissioner to say this they have a lot of evidence
17:58already that points to not just this is terrorism but this is is isis inspired
18:03yeah and it is such a story at this point that even all three networks
18:10carried the live analysis of this i mean we're very very fortunate that these moron
18:16terrorists actually failed in creating the explosive devices that they wanted to throw but again
18:23remember that the way that zoran mamdani covered this initially was oh this is a
18:30white supremacist rally and the way that many different media groups covered this was as
18:35if this was in some way a a cause of the protest when these were
18:41counter protesters who showed up um and uh the press conference has just now broken
18:46up it's been covered live for much of the last 30 minutes um and uh
18:52i think it's evidence that many of us all over the country need to be
18:56keeping our heads on a swivel while the situation is playing itself out in iran
19:00you know buck they still haven't said what motivated the shooting in austin remember the
19:06photos we saw i feel pretty comfortable about what motivated the shooting in austin and
19:10now we know directly because the body camera is exactly what motivated these guys uh
19:15for uh their uh would be attacked uh i want to tell you if you're
19:19out there right now and you are ready for the world baseball classic a lot
19:23of people out there watching the u .s about to play mexico i believe it

19:57states at prize picks welcome back in play travis buck sexton show all right let's
20:03kind of reset everything out there the panic over oil and gas prices has vanished
20:10in the time that we were on air it's really kind of amazing price of
20:14oil and gas overnight spiked to over 120 a barrel it's now back down to
20:20around 93 meaning it dropped by 27 and if you're wondering okay well how much
20:28of a story is oil and gas now stock market is basically flat um as
20:33i am watching it right now meaning it hasn't really moved at all today after
20:37all the panic setting in um and the story now is would -be isis terrorists
20:44outside of gracie mansion in new york city throwing ieds and we have uh a
20:50press conference that just ended um and this is jessica tish uh let me make
20:56sure that i get this cut right uh this is cut 33 announcing federal charges
21:03uh and saying the suspect acted for isis listen we can now share that federal
21:09charges have been filed in the southern district of new york against two individuals amir
21:15balat and ibrahim kayoumi in connection with that attack the defendants are charged with attempting
21:21to provide material support to isis using a weapon of mass destruction transporting explosive materials
21:28interstate transportation and receipt of explosive materials and unlawful possession of destructive devices the complaint
21:37sets forth the factual allegations supporting those charges as alleged in the complaint the defendants
21:43were inspired by isis to carry out their attack and as alleged both defendants have
21:49admitted that they acted on Saturday because of ISIS.
21:54We just played that. I'm playing it again.
21:56I thought it was a little bit of a different cut, but it's the same
21:58one. So, look, this is, Buck, I think a story that is unfortunate, but one
22:07that is certainly the case.
22:09While we are engaged in Iran, we need to be more careful.
22:12We just talked about what happened in Austin where the guy was wearing an Iranian
22:17T -shirt. I think it's hard to say that his motivation in shooting innocent people
22:22in Austin was not what was going on in Iran.
22:25Maybe these guys would have acted out otherwise, but I tend to think there's probably
22:28a connection here, too. And there are reports, you worked in this directly, that Iran
22:34may have tried to, if there are sleeper cells here, tell people, hey, start to
22:39act out in the United States.
22:42Yes, it's very easy for word about this to get out there.
22:46ISIS used to do something called remote control or outside -in terror attacks where they
22:52would essentially make contact with people in Western countries, European countries, America, and give them
22:59ideas and logistics help to plan attacks.
23:05So they were very, this is going back 2012, 2013, 2014 time period, but they
23:11were very active in that, and it wouldn't be hard at all for elements of
23:16the Iranian regime to be doing the same.
23:18Remember, the Quds Force, which is the external operations arm, the IRGC is broken down
23:24into a few different, it's really, you know, it was initially a parallel military structure,
23:31and now it's their, now it's the beating heart of the evil Iranian regime.
23:36They have the ground forces, they've got, I think, a naval arm, an air arm,
23:41maybe even a cyber, and then they've got the Quds Force, which is their external
23:44operations, Quds being Jerusalem, by the way, external operations arm.
23:49And, Clay, they are all dedicated to keeping this whole thing going, because you have
23:55to remember, they have very privileged positions within the Iranian state, especially talking about the
24:00officer corps. Think of the IRGC, a little bit like the SS of the Nazis,
24:05and it lines up. They're the ideological hardcore that are also in charge of the
24:11security and the military infrastructure in that country, and they're going to be a huge
24:17challenge. They're the biggest challenge, actually, for regime change, and they also run a lot
24:23of external terrorist ops. So bringing this to how easy would it be for them
24:28to be making contact or have contact with fellow ideological travelers who want to go
24:32out and wage jihad, the Internet makes this a very easy game for them.
24:37Not only that, we had a wide -open southern border with people traveling in from
24:42all over the world, mostly young men, for four years, effectively under Joe Biden, so
24:47we don't even know who's here.
24:49I would also add this, and you just heard Chip Roy talking about it a
24:52little bit at the top of the last hour.
24:55The TSA not being fully funded right now seems like a really bad idea.
25:02You mentioned earlier, Buck, the reason why we have to go through the security mechanisms
25:07that we do in this country is largely fear of Middle Eastern terrorists.
25:12I mean, that's the reality.
25:14Yes, everybody gets padded down.
25:16Yes, everybody has to behave in certain ways going through the TSA, regardless of our
25:23backgrounds. But the reality is most terrorist threats in the United States, all of us
25:30know it, is primarily Middle Eastern young men.
25:33And that's why we now, in the wake of 9 -11, have to go through
25:38the security apparatus at TSA that we do.
25:41Doesn't it seem like a really bad idea to not be paying TSA agents right
25:46now, especially as we are entering spring break season when it is one of the
25:53busiest times to fly all over the United States?
25:58I think it's a really bad idea.
25:59I saw the footage, I'm sure you did, Buck, of New Orleans.
26:03I think they're telling people to get there five hours before your flight right now
26:07in New Orleans. Five hours?
26:09Because you have to stand in line for three hours to get through?
26:13Democrats caused this. If you are in Houston right now, I saw multi -hour waits
26:18in Houston to be able to fly out too.
26:20And you're saying, okay, what's happening?
26:22The guys at TSA and gals at TSA are not getting paid.
26:26And when they're calling out sick, they don't have the resources to be able to
26:30have people there. And so as a result, unfortunately, the lines are getting excessive in
26:37many different airports around the country.
26:39This is the third or fourth time we've done this to TSA as well.
26:43And this is all caused by Democrats.
26:45Republicans have tried to fund the government multiple times now.
26:50Chuck Schumer got angry after Minneapolis and said, oh, I'm not going to allow it.
26:53He's afraid of AOC challenging him.
26:55And as a result, we've got long lines and probably less people working than otherwise
27:02would be. People are calling out sick because they're not getting paid.
27:06It's almost like Democrats would rather burn everything down than let the other side run
27:12things better than them. Honestly.
27:15Honestly. They don't have ideas to do things better.
27:17They just want things to go poorly.
27:19They want Iran to be a disaster for the Trump administration.
27:25They want the economy to start to go into free fall.
27:29They are rooting against America right now in every sense because they are not in
27:34power, and power is the single most important thing to them.
27:36It's just the reality. And they want to come back into power and do exactly
27:39what they were doing under Biden.
27:41They just won't have a senile sock puppet to operate with this time.
27:47They'll have some other sock puppet in there because it really is.
27:51We said this all along about Biden, but it's true of any Democrat that they're
27:54thinking about. It's the apparatus.
27:56It's the people around whoever the figurehead is who really make the determinations and the
28:01decisions. It's the ideologues who are very unimpressive, uninspiring, and can't even pretend to care
28:10about people other than their own parochial interests.
28:13They're the ones that will be running the country if the Democrats come into power
28:16again. So we're here to remind everybody of that.
28:20One other bit of news, Buck.
28:22So I can't imagine. Can you imagine flying out of New Orleans and showing up
28:26five hours early to stand in line for three hours so you can get through
28:29the checkpoint? I would be furious, and Democrats have caused this.
28:34This is breaking news. We didn't mention this.
28:37I think we mentioned it off the top.
28:39There's a new Supreme Leader.
28:40He is the son of Khamenei.
28:45He supportedly... Mojtaba. Mojtaba. Mojtaba.
28:50Mojtaba Khamenei. This is according to Ayal Yacobi, and other reporters have said this as
28:59well, that he was severely injured, and one of his legs has been amputated.
29:05He may not even be aware that he has now been elevated to Supreme Leader.
29:10That is the report that is out there.
29:14They don't know exactly what the injuries are, but it has been reported that he
29:17is severely injured, and he has not, probably not surprisingly, appeared in public.
29:23So what exactly his status is, even as the leader, is unclear.
29:32A lot of things unclear in Iran right now.
29:34All we can do is hope that the people who are making decisions on our
29:37side continue to stay focused and frosty and keep the lessons of the past in
29:42mind while they use what is an incredible technological advantage and military capability that we're
29:49seeing all across the battlefield, far beyond...
29:52You know, Clay, I remember seeing my first drone strike when I was in Iraq
29:58in real time. Now, I didn't see the actual...
30:01I was watching on surveillance footage with a team of other agency people and task
30:07force guys from the military, and they called in...
30:11You know, they had a drone.
30:13I mean, it was the standard thing you've seen in movies now, but it was
30:17daylight, and they... You know, we could see on the ISR, and they came in,
30:23and they hit a car with an explosion, and these guys all...
30:27Well, they all died. One guy got out.
30:28He was kind of on fire, but he fell down dead, and then everyone else
30:30in the car was dead.
30:32And now I think back to when you and I were visiting the White House
30:36last June, and one of the senior White House national security guys pulled us aside
30:42and said this was just declassified and showed us a video, and it was a
30:45very similar video, 20 years removed, but in this video, the car is driving, okay?
30:53It's not stopped. The car is driving, and they used the flying Ginsu knife, which
30:59is a drone that doesn't have explosions or an explosion.
31:02It has blades that come out of it, and they took out the guy in
31:07the passenger seat and didn't touch the three other guys.
31:10They all got out of the car.
31:12That is the kind of technology that we're talking about now.
31:15It's not just that we can blow you up in the car.
31:17We can actually just slice one person in half with the three other people around
31:22them if we don't want to hurt them untouched in a car that is moving.
31:27So, the Iranians, between us and the Israelis, they've got their hands full in a
31:31way that I don't think even they anticipated, Clay.
31:35I think the advantage that we're bringing to the battlefield here and what we're able
31:39to do from the sky added to the technical intelligence collection capabilities.
31:44It's like we have their entire battle space mapped out, and it's just we hit
31:48what we want to hit when we want to hit it.
31:50Yeah, they're in trouble. Yeah.
31:52And I would think that the likelihood of anyone being in power in Iran being
31:59in power for very long if we don't want them in power is very low.
32:03So, we'll continue to update you on that.
32:06We'll take some of your talkbacks to close out the program.

33:53T's and C's apply. Welcome back in to Clay and Buck.
33:57Got a lot of calls, a lot of talkbacks.
33:59I want to tell you to go get some crack of coffee, my friends.
34:01We got a new mushroom blend that's going to be coming out soon for the
34:04mushroom coffee drinkers out there, which is delicious.
34:06But crack of coffee is fantastic.
34:08Let's take a talk back here from Reggie from Fort Bragg.
34:12The proper name. North Carolina.
34:14Play it. F. Reggie from Fort Bragg, a mechanic.
34:17Yes, a Tesla's a cool car.
34:19Now, yes, it's got lots of bells and whistles and flux capacitors and warp drive
34:24and all that good stuff.
34:25But here's the thing. Once that car reaches a certain age, just like your cell
34:28phone, nobody's going to want to deal with it.
34:30Nobody's going to want to deal with the batteries.
34:32Nobody's going to want to deal with the electronics that might be going bad.
34:36You can put a for sale sign on it and it's just going to sit
34:38in your front yard and it's just going to become a statue.
34:43I mean, I like Reggie's passion.
34:45He definitely knows more about cars than either of us.
34:47That's for sure. As a as a as a car guy.
34:51So we'll see. People have been saying this also, particularly about the what's the the
34:56one that looks really funky.
34:57The the cyber truck. Yes, cyber trucks that that the secondary market on them is
35:02super weak. We'll see. Guys, you just I don't bet against Elon.
35:06It's all I honestly you just can't bet against Elon on any of this stuff.
35:10I think, look, I said this before because I'm sensitive to how expensive cars have
35:15gotten. They have one percent interest for eight years on these cars, which is pretty
35:23extraordinary. So you can buy a brand new Tesla for one percent interest for eight
35:28years. If I get eight years of good work out of a car, then look,
35:34I'm going to be happy with eight years of good, solid work at a forty
35:38five or fifty thousand dollar price point.
35:41That that seems very reasonable to me when you consider what other things are, you
35:46know, you know that that I want a Tesla.
35:47But wifey Carrie, she likes driving like she's what she grew up in Florida, like
35:53a normal American driving a car and she likes driving.
35:57And I'm like, I want to be but she doesn't want to drive when I'm
36:00in the car. I have to drive because I'm her husband and I'm a man.
36:03And I get that right.
36:03Like, that's the way it goes.
36:06But I want to get the self -driving thing.
36:08So we're at a little bit of an impasse here.
36:10I would think a lot of moms and dads.
36:13But when you start driving around kids and you're constantly having to be paying attention
36:17to what's going on behind you because they're chirping and there's all different sorts of
36:22things that you have to take care of with a kid in the car that
36:25you don't. Self -drive for moms seems like it would be a lifestyle because you've
36:31got to get a juice box out or you've got to get gold, goldfish to
36:35the kids who needs a snack.
36:37Like, there's always a lot of management associated with young kids in car seats.
36:41I have a friend down here who has one of those, like, it's like a
36:44kind of conversion van. You know, it's like one of those vans that's very high
36:48that he because he's got a big family and he drives.
36:51Oh, yeah. Those monster vans where you have, like, oh, oh, it's great.
36:54The seat's like a first class airline seat.
36:56I just sit back there and he drives us around.
36:58It's fantastic. It's like the only thing for people who have big families.
37:01That's like the only vehicle they can get the whole family mobilized in.
37:05And I'm very comfortable with it.
37:07Gee, Justin from Lakewood on the talkback.
37:09Hit it. Hey, Buck, could you please explain to me your deal with, like, the
37:13whole 1911 thing? I just don't get it.
37:14I mean, it seems to me it's better to just be, like, one and done.
37:19Right? Fire one shot, put a hole in them, they're good.
37:22Apparently, you enjoy turning people into Swiss cheese with your putty little 9 mil or
37:29whatever. So, so, so please, please, can you explain, explain your hatred towards the 1911?
37:35Sure. There's no hatred, Justin.
37:39The same way that there's no hatred toward people putting those waterproof stools in the
37:45shower so they can rest or people who have a sippy cup.
37:50These are things that are necessary.
37:52And your 1911 as a relic from a bygone era, I mean, just think about
37:57it. It's already a museum piece, and you have it in your home.
38:00So, I'm proud of you for honoring the past in that way.
38:04I just hope you don't throw your hip out.
38:05That's all. The gun guy trash talk.
38:09I feel, this is like when...
38:10People are trash talking about college football for you, right?
38:13Like, I have no idea what's going on.
38:15I don't know. A 1911 guy, remember, send the angry emails to Buck.
38:20I got no knowledge on this one.
38:21We'll have more for you tomorrow, everybody.
