Hour 2 - Fake News Ignores Hero Cop
3/11/202637 mincomplete
0:00This is an iHeart Podcast.
0:02Guaranteed human. Welcome to today's edition of the Clay Travis and Buck Suxton Show Podcast.
0:09Second hour of Clay and Buck kicks off right now.
0:12Thanks for being here with us, everybody.
0:13We're talking about Iran in the first hour.
0:16And now let's turn our attention for a little bit to the attempted terror attack
0:24in New York City. Now, we discussed this with you after it happened.
0:28It was outside of Gracie Mansion, which is the mayor of New York City's residence.
0:34Also holds events there, but it's the mayor's residence.
0:37I'll never forget when Bloomberg preferred Clay his $50 million townhouse or whatever it was.
0:44So he lived there and held only events at the...
0:48That's quite a move when the official residence of the mayor of New York is,
0:52like, not quite up to your standards.
0:54But it's quite a property.
0:56It's right on the East River.
0:58And there was a protest there.
1:02People saying that they're worried.
1:04And I don't know exactly what they said.
1:06They're probably... Some of them said some things that aren't so nice about Islam.
1:11And they said that they're worried about the Islamification of New York, et cetera, et
1:15cetera. A bunch of terrorist wannabes, or I guess just terrorists now, because they tried.
1:20They're attempted terrorists. Showed up to throw bombs at them, to throw a bomb at
1:25them. And there was this fascinating series of events that occurred that we've seen now
1:30many, many times over the years, really over the decades now.
1:34Where somehow, if you are a Democrat member of the media, you have to take
1:42a shockingly pro -Islamic terrorist tone, point of view.
1:49However that is, you say that we can never know the real motive when the
1:54guys are like, Allahu Akbar.
1:55We can never know the real motive, right?
1:58We aren't really sure yet what's going on here.
2:00If the guy happens to be of, like, Middle Eastern or clearly of Muslim descent,
2:06we've got to bury that as long as we can.
2:09If we have to leave out things in the transcript, like the guy, the terrorist,
2:13saying that he pledged allegiance to ISIS and he's doing this for Allah, they'll do
2:17that too. This is a clear pattern that has been in place for a long
2:22time. And we saw this play out, in this case, Clay, with the CNN piece
2:27that was, you know, it could have been a lovely day, it was 85 degrees,
2:31when two men traveled over from Pennsylvania.
2:35And then they threw a bomb at somebody.
2:37It's like, well, hold on a second.
2:38Why would you ever frame this incident in that way as a news report?
2:43Like, why make it seem like everything was cool and fine?
2:46And then they just kind of threw a bomb at some guys and tried to
2:48kill them. Like, it's very strange.
2:51CNN's Abby Phillip, after this happens, after what I just told you, and they pulled
2:56that tweet down, which is very rare for CNN to admit we're idiots, we shouldn't
3:02have done that. But it was so dumb.
3:04It was so preposterous that they had to.
3:06Then CNN's Abby Phillip goes on.
3:08And this is now, Clay, I saw you point this out.
3:11This is off the teleprompter.
3:13Oh, yeah. So this was written by producers who went over this script beforehand, and
3:17then she read it aloud.
3:19I want you to listen closely to how CNN describes this attempted Muslim terrorist attack
3:26in New York City outside the mayor's residence.
3:30Play two. Two Republicans say Muslims don't belong here.
3:33After an attempted terror attack against New York's mayor, Zoran Mamdani, and the House Speaker,
3:39Mike Johnson, says nothing, really, to condemn those comments.
3:44Oh, okay. Notice what happened here, Clay.
3:47An attempted terror attack against New York City Mayor Zoran Mamdani.
3:51It wasn't an attack against him.
3:53It was an attack by Muslims against the guys who say that Muslims have too
3:57many terrorists in their midst, so we should probably rethink how many of them we're
3:59bringing into this country. That's their position.
4:02Protected by the First Amendment, by the way.
4:03You can dislike it. You can hate it or not.
4:06But it's clearly protected speech at a protest.
4:10But also, Clay, I notice how the real problem isn't the guys who tried to
4:16blow people up, maim them, have ball bearings, you know, shot into their chest and
4:21in their eyes, blind people maybe, et cetera.
4:23That's not the big problem.
4:25The big problem is the lack of Republican member of Congress, condemnation of the mean
4:32words the protesters said. Yeah, and I can't believe I'm going to say this, but
4:39I'm going to defend Abby Phillips here.
4:41Even if we play that again, she's reading off a teleprompter, and it seems like
4:47she recognizes that it's poorly drafted.
4:50And, again, this is being a TV nerd and understanding having hosted some of these
4:55things before. Sometimes you read off the prompter, and you're like, this is not good.
5:00You know, but as you're reading it, it appears that she is going to toss
5:04to a break. Play this again.
5:06I'll take you into the weeds here.
5:07But what I think is significant, Buck, is whatever the culture is at CNN, this,
5:13much like that article that made it out of through the editorial process and everything
5:19else, the errors you make, and I will say this as a guy who has
5:24run a media. the company the errors you make reflect the culture you create and
5:30everybody's going to screw up everybody's going to be imperfect you and i screw up
5:35sometimes we don't have teleprompters so we're not reading anything at any point in time
5:39i always hold it up uh you can watch you can look at this on
5:43the uh on the youtube channel i have a yellow legal pad like i have
5:49for most of my career that i jot down notes on that i read and
5:52run the entire show from and you have a notepad in front of you and
5:56you got your computer but there is no teleprompter play that for us one more
6:00time as she is reading it you can start to see she is thinking hey
6:04this doesn't feel right but she has a commercial break that she's trying to hit
6:09and this is the tease but again the errors that you make reflect the culture
6:13that you create the culture that cnn has created is there is no way that
6:18left -wingers could ever be responsible for anything negative and that i think undergirds this
6:24error play it one more time two republicans say muslims don't belong here after an
6:29attempted terror attack against new york's mayor mayor zaron mamdani and the house speaker mike
6:35johnson says nothing really to condemn those comments okay and i saw an interesting comment
6:41um and i don't i can't remember who credited it but a lot of people
6:46believe that mom donnie was the victim of a terror attack that is intentional lots
6:53of people on the left who are not as engaged on stories as you are
6:57believe that mom donnie was the victim of a terror attack you can hear abby
7:01phillips she recognizes i think that that is not an accurate tease that she is
7:05reading but somehow that made it through cnn an editorial somehow that i believe ended
7:10up on her teleprompter and what this is reflective of is an attempt to obfuscate
7:17to hide to uh keep people unaware of what actually happened here which is two
7:23muslim uh motivated terrorists decided to try to throw ieds and kill people who were
7:30protesting the number of muslims that have been allowed into our country and brave nypd
7:35police officers ran towards the bombs and were able to tackle the guys who were
7:42responsible for this and this is a uh this is uh james gagliano uh former
7:49director of the fbi nyc division says the rank and file are furious because mom
7:55donnie has in no way honored the nypd officers that actually ran towards these bombs
8:01and caught the bad guys which again goes to the intentional cultural uh hiding of
8:07this story in the way that it's been covered cut 24 the other night instead
8:11of hosting the two -star police chief who leaped over the barricades and ran this
8:17guy down who had thrown the bomb the mayor decides at gracie mansion to host
8:22mahmoud khalil i mean he's sending such a awful awful message here to the rank
8:28and file and remember the mayor when he was a private citizen who had commented
8:33on twitter then that he saw a cop crying in his car and nature was
8:38healing this is something that again the men and women of the nypd will do
8:42the right thing they're going to enforce the laws they're going to show up for
8:46work but they understand that this man on the screen right now does not have
8:51their back i think that's the key buck and you're a new york city born
8:56and bred kid the fact that this nypd cop who jumped if you haven't seen
9:02the iconic photo of this cop jumping a barricade to chase down the guys who
9:08had thrown bombs bombs that at any moment could have gone off he ran towards
9:11danger he uh arrested and tackled the culprits here mom donnie to my knowledge buck
9:18hasn't said a word in favor of this officer's bravery and what he actually did
9:23instead he brought the columbia uh protester in and gave him a meal and took
9:28pictures of it well you have to remember that mom donnie's base very much is
9:34uh comprised of and and includes in considerable number the kind of people who agree
9:41with everything that those terrorists feel and say but they have to technically draw the
9:46line at actual violence because that's against the law in a way that people notice
9:52and get upset about so his base is very supportive of the people who show
9:57up and want to silence the anti uh you know whatever i really have a
10:04good term for them they call them white nationalists to this i still haven't seen
10:07anything white nationalist i've only seen anti -immigration and anti um now people can argue
10:13if they think that's white nationalists but there are plenty of people who are concerned
10:17about the massive immigration into this country particularly illegal immigration who aren't white so are
10:22they including including legal immigrants by the way right uh huge numbers of minorities that
10:28have legally immigrated to the country like we're good we have enough yeah we've had
10:33enough here for a little while so that's not actually a white nationalist belief uh
10:37per se they can try to make make that case but i think that that's
10:40made in bad faith um my point here being that yeah mom donnie like left
10:45-wing radical lunatics are mom donnie's buddies so he doesn't want to upset them but
10:51he does have to say all right like don't try to blow up the white
10:53nationalists quote unquote just you know spit in their faces and do what antifa usually
10:58does but don't do that because then i have to let the mypd tackle some
11:04of them and do the things i'm going to tell you this right now by
11:06the way it's going to take some time the sentence that these guys get is
11:12going to be enragingly light guaranteed in right now they're gonna they're gonna be punished
11:20because they they know there are limits here to how crazy the system can be
11:25in new york when before people really start to freak out and leave um but
11:29clay i mean you're gonna see remember the guys who uh during blm wasn't there
11:33a guy it was a lawyer actually there you go a lawyer who threw a
11:37molotov cocktail into a car they got slap on the wrist yeah i remember yeah
11:46i remember that story because i think it was a lawyer at a prominent law
11:49firm and i remember thinking how do you find yourself in a situation where you're
11:53lighting a molotov cocktail as a lawyer on fire and throwing it into a cop
11:58car uh that's how deranged everybody became uh on the left in particular in 2020
12:04probably got a uh tenured professor position position waiting for him at some local uh
12:12you know university local college in in new york i wouldn't be surprised at all
12:16look we had a blackout the other night that's why i didn't ask me anything
12:20most of you were nice in the ama some of you not so nice most
12:23of you were nice um blackout in the building that was not fun i was
12:27taking the stairs the lights were all out it was a minor one only lasted
12:30a few hours but it was a reminder that stuff can happen and it was
12:35also a reminder that if i needed to talk to family even if you had
12:40all the power out here and there were cell phone disruptions which can happen i
12:45had my rapid radios ready to go rapid radios long range emergency radios built for
12:50blackouts natural disasters and any unpredictable moments life throws your way rapid radios are small
12:56enough to hold in the palm of your hand and you can slip them into
12:58your purse or go bag and rapid radios work on the lte network so their
13:02ability to instantly connect with someone while the power is out is a game changer
13:06they've also got a long battery life up to five days and a durability that
13:10stands up to real world emergencies staying connected shouldn't depend on luck it should depend
13:14on the tools you trust if you want to protect your family during the next
13:17weather emergency take ownership of a set of rapid radios do it now go to
13:21rapid radios .com check out the new rad one see the full emergency features and
13:26grab the launch offer while it's still live communication redefined only at rapid radios .com
13:40let me hit you with a couple of cuts president trump was just outside the
13:46white house um and he was responding to uh members of the press as he
13:52walked to the helicopter president trump is going to be in ohio and kentucky today
13:58buck so he is about to uh embark on some early 2026 campaigning uh just
14:07fyi so ohio and kentucky he is probably in the air on route right now
14:12a reporter asked trump when he's going to announce mission accomplished uh this is cut
14:1825 uh listen well look we've knocked out their navy we've knocked out the air
14:27force we've knocked out all of their anti -defense we've taken out uh 60 mine
14:34boats 59 mine boats nobody has ever seen anything like we have the greatest military
14:41in the world by far not even close but you know what they've inflicted 47
14:48years worth of damage to the world and now they're a big prize couple more
14:55buck um he says we need more of the same in order for the iran
15:00operation to officially be over cut 26 you know we're doing something that nobody ever
15:06thought was possible to do our military is the best it's the most powerful in
15:11the world and they're hitting them very hard this is 47 years of abuse and
15:17killing lots of people killing and naming lots of people what is it peter what
15:23more do you need to do militarily for this operation to end more of the
15:27same and we'll see how that all comes out right now they are they've lost
15:34their navy they've lost their air force they have no anti -aircraft apparatus at all
15:40they have no radar their leaders are gone uh and we could do a lot
15:47worse than one another we're leaving certain things that if we take them out or
15:52we could take them out by this afternoon in fact within an hour they literally
15:58would never be able to build that country back all right one more buck uh
16:02he's saying he thinks oil companies should be using the straight of hormuz that has
16:08helped to uh inflate the overall price of oil and gas cut 27 are you
16:13talking to the ceos of various oil companies encouraging them to use the straight of
16:19organization right now live благодарiaunuz I think they should.
16:22I think they should. I think they should use it.
16:24In my opinion, look, we took out just about all of their mine ships in
16:29one night. We're up to boat number 60.
16:33I didn't realize that that big a Navy.
16:35I would say it was big and ineffective.
16:38But every one of their ships, just about all of their Navy is gone at
16:42the bottom of the stage.
16:44Okay, so that is the latest from President Trump.
16:47Navy's gone. Air Force is gone.
16:49He can declare victory whenever he feels like they have finished their targeting.
16:53Anything surprise you from any of that, Buck?
16:55I mean, obviously, the president is very confident about his ability to do whatever he
17:00feels like he needs to do.
17:02No, that's where we've been saying the situation is right now.
17:05It's essentially pulling apart the Iranian military apparatus piece by piece and just dismantling it.
17:13And that has been effective.
17:15We've been able to do that.
17:16The Iranians don't really have a countering capability.
17:20The only countering capability they would have at this point is something people are concerned
17:23about, which is cells, operational cells going on terrorist attacks against soft targets here at
17:30home or around the world.
17:31That's something we have to be aware of.
17:32Although, if we trace that back to Iran, you know, we're who wants to be
17:36involved in that kind of stuff on Iranian soil right now.
17:39We can blow up anyone anywhere, basically.
17:42So I think that that's all.
17:44It all lines up, Clay.
17:46But I also think that we're going to walk away without there being a different
17:50government in Iran. I do think that's where this is going to happen or this
17:54is going. So that's an interesting situation.
18:00I'm not really sure what happens after that.
18:03All right. Your cell phone service doesn't have to stay status quo.

18:51PureTalk, America's wireless company. A lot of you weighing in, we appreciate that.
19:03We want to get to your thoughts, your calls, your emails.
19:07Remember, you can send us a talkback on the iHeart app.
19:09Make sure you have that iHeart app downloaded to your phone.
19:12It's free. It's great. I use it every day.
19:15It's the best audio app out there.
19:17And you can listen to any local station.
19:21If you want to get that, you know, your local flavor, you can listen to
19:23it electronically. So if you're listening on WFLA, if you're listening on WOR, if you're
19:27listening on, you know, KEIB.
19:31Anyway, we're on 600 stations, so I can't name them all.
19:34But the point is, you can certainly tune in.
19:38You can tune in to your local station on the app.
19:43And you can then send us a talkback, which you go to Clay and Buck
19:46page, you press the little microphone.
19:48And those are great because we know how long they are, so we can always
19:50fit them into segments. Sometimes some of the calls, as much as we love you,
19:54we start getting into, like, how's the weather where you are?
19:56Yeah, good. You know, we sometimes burn time, and we don't have the time to
20:00get you to say the full thing you want to say.
20:02So podcast listener Kevin from Florida, this is Cut D.
20:07He's weighing in on something, a real controversy that's been kicking up around here.
20:11Hit it. I just heard the guy talking about the kick of a 9mm or
20:15the recoil and everything. I have you know, I'm a 2003 three -gun state championship
20:22winner out of Texas. And I used a .45 ACP the whole time because a
20:279mm wouldn't knock over the steel plates.
20:29It's the kinetic energy accounts, buddy.
20:33I love the .45. Your gun war here that you have started with gun guys
20:37just caught. By the way, that guy sounds like what I would expect a Texas
20:41shooting champion to sound like.
20:43Correct. Yes, for sure. I mean, you know, Trump always talks about somebody out of
20:48central casting. That is the voice of an expert Texas shooter, I would think.
20:53Kevin may live in Florida now.
20:54He still wears a cowboy hat, let's be honest.
20:57Still wears a cowboy hat.
20:57And no one questions it because he's Kevin from Texas.
21:00By the way, we've got more people just weighing in.
21:03I'm taking body blows left and right for continuing to talk about how awesome my
21:07Tesla is. This is Robert, podcast listener, Cut G.
21:12Clay, I think that all of your sports talk, tough manliness talk, it's just a
21:18facade to cover up for the fact that you drive an electric car.
21:21My favorite thing to do is get in front of a Tesla with the F
21:24-250, brake check them, then throw the hammer down, roll some coal, and leave them
21:30in a cloud of toxic diesel fumes.
21:33Enjoy going to pick up the tampons in the electric car there.
21:37Bye. Wow, harsh. Way harsh.
21:41Look, just because I live in the future and you live in the past doesn't
21:46mean you have to be angry at me.
21:48You know, like back in the day, there were a lot of Biff.
21:51Was it Biff Henderson? The foil of Marty McFly?
21:54Back to the Future? Yeah.
21:55Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, there are a lot of Biffs out there, you know, rolling
21:58around the 1950s with your sleeves rolled up, not understanding the flux capacitor and the
22:04future that was coming your way.
22:06Hello, McFly, McFly. McFly, if anyone ever did that to your head and, like, did
22:10the knock -knock, I think you should be allowed to punch them.
22:12That is, I think, one of the greatest movies that's ever been made across board
22:18and it still holds up.
22:20And here's something that's going to blow people's mind.
22:21The single most beloved by Rotten Tomatoes of the 80s is Back to the Future,
22:25actually. It is Back to the Future, yes.
22:27Okay. So this is actually a popular opinion.
22:30This is kind of wild.
22:32If they were putting Back to the Future, we were going back in time, from
22:39the modern day, I believe I am correct in this.
22:43We would be setting Back to the Future now in 1996.
22:51Think about that. When we were kids, when we were kids, and all of you
22:55out there who watch Back to the Future, I believe Back to the Future was
22:58set in 1954 -ish. So it was made in, like, 1984.
23:03So it was going back 30 years.
23:04And I remember just thinking, watching that, you know, that was my parents' generation that
23:08grew up, and just thinking, man, that world is so much different.
23:12Think about that now. If they made Back to the Future today, and they went
23:16back in time the same amount, they would be going back to 1996.
23:22That really kind of is boggling my mind to think about.
23:27I actually think that would be a great premise for reviving the Back to the
23:31Future franchise. You're right. If you brought back the night, if with the current generation,
23:35you did the parents, your parents are dressing like Ross and Chandler from Friends, and
23:42everyone's watching Seinfeld, and you're listening to, like, Nirvana, and maybe, you know, rap music.
23:50That's basically the, you know, I went and saw, and I don't know if I
23:53talked about it on the show, because I knew you were going to be angry
23:55about it, but I went and saw Scream 7, which is...
23:58I'm still angry about this take.
23:59This is insane. This is when I look at Clay, I'm like, like, how...
24:02You're so astute on so many things.
24:05You think... Anyway, go ahead.
24:06I went... So I went and watched Scream 7 in the movie theater, and I've
24:12watched all the Scream movies.
24:14The original Scream movie was set in 1996.
24:17So, to your point, they now have made, 30 years later, Nev Campbell, who is
24:23the star of the Scream franchise, it has been 30 years since the original Scream
24:28movie was made. So there is a nostalgic, iconic, throwback -esque element to Scream 7,
24:34which I enjoy. I think the original Scream movie is for a...
24:39I really consider it more a thriller than a horror, because it's...
24:42There's nothing supernatural. It's really just a murder, right?
24:44You liked the original Scream movie.
24:46The original's an excellent movie, for what it is.
24:48It really is still good.
24:49I think it's an excellent movie.
24:49Yeah, I mean, there's... Look, usually when they make seven of something, there are exceptions.
24:55Maybe this is coming from the two electric car guys.
24:57I'm just going to lean into this for a second.
24:59The fact that the Fast and the Furious franchise is, like, maybe the most successful
25:05movie franchise of all time by box office receipts is complete madness to me.
25:11I would rather watch an endless loop of ShamWow and George Foreman grill commercials.
25:18I cannot understand how anyone thinks the Fast and the Furious movies are worth watching,
25:23and yet I am clearly, clearly in the minority on this one.
25:27I think they made nine or something.
25:30How many did they make?
25:30Yeah, now, to be fair, I think the Fast and the Furious movies were a
25:34perfect distillation of the international appeal of movies, because they don't have to talk very
25:40much. And so, I mean, I'm in the series.
25:43You don't need dialogue or a plot.
25:45Yeah, you don't need to actually speak, but, I mean, if you look at what
25:48is popular internationally, it's often just really fast racing cars, and I think the Fast
25:55and the Furious movies, back when China was allowing movies to actually be aired in
26:00China, you know, they started cutting back on a lot of American films, but they
26:04started to basically do away with dialogue and just have a lot of big, explosive
26:09pyrotechnics, and I think those movies are a perfect distillation of that.
26:13I walked past someone today in a gold Ferrari, and I just have to say,
26:21do you think you could pull off being the owner of a gold Ferrari?
26:25I mean, it clearly had been repaid.
26:27I don't think they offer that as a factory color, but it was...
26:30What would you... This is a fun question.
26:33What would you think if the next time I came to Miami, we did the
26:38show, and then I said, hey, I've got to run out because there is a
26:42Ferrari dealership not far from where you are because I've seen them, and I was
26:46like, I've got to go pick up my Ferrari.
26:49Would you be like, this is the most outrageous?
26:52Because let me tell you this.
26:53No, no. Ferrari is the most profitable car in the world per Ferrari because they
26:59treat them like paintings. They only make like 3 ,000 Ferraris a year or something.
27:05It's an extraordinarily profitable brand as a result.
27:09Look, I actually think that Ferraris are...
27:12They are works of art and they are beautiful to...
27:15They're incredible. I mean, I'm not a car guy, but I respect Ferrari has sort
27:19of created the ultimate in vehicle racing luxury.
27:27But if you told me that you were picking up your gold -plated Ferrari, I
27:32would be calling Lara and be like, Lara, I think Clay's having a midlife crisis.
27:35We've got to get him some help.
27:37It probably would be accurate.
27:39Here's the answer. I would be nervous to drive a car that nice, whether you
27:44could pull it off or not.
27:45Because I don't care how much money I had, I would be so terrified of
27:50hitting a curb in a Ferrari or somebody bumping into me while I was driving
27:55it that I couldn't ever enjoy the process of driving a Ferrari.
28:00I would be terrified of something going wrong.
28:02I was known for my incredible wheels in college.
28:07I had a wood -paneled Buick Roadmaster station wagon in a pale blue with the
28:15wood paneling with like 90 ,000 miles on it.
28:19And we called it the shagging wagon.
28:21There was no shagging in this wagon.
28:23But that was what we called it.
28:25Big Austin Powers fan back in the day.
28:27And this thing, let me tell you, it was like indestructible.
28:32There was nothing, you know, you could do whatever you had to do.
28:35You don't have to worry about parking it, leaving it.
28:37Nobody's going to steal it.
28:39You don't have to even worry if the car doors are locked.
28:42I'm not a huge car guy either.
28:44It handled sort of like a ferry boat that would take you between islands or
28:48something. It had that kind of a turn radius.
28:51However, however, a little ding on the wood paneling, you're like, eh, it's not real
28:56wood. Is that the worst car you ever had?
28:57The worst car I ever had was when Laura and I first got married, we
29:03bought a Chevy Malibu convertible, which is the worst purchase of my life.
29:09That's like a Michael Scott from the office kind of a purchase.
29:12A Chevy Malibu convertible. Chevy Malibu convertible.
29:15I thought having a convertible would be nice.
29:18The thing had a turn radius.
29:21You had, if you just made like...
29:23You bought a Chevy Malibu?
29:24I think you're going to get made fun of that.
29:26See, Laura grew up knowing cars because she grew up in the Detroit area.
29:31Yeah, but you're going to get made fun of for the Chevy Malibu more than
29:34the electric car you own now, I'm telling you.
29:35Well, but by the way, I had no money.
29:37So, I mean, it's not like when we got married and I was, you know,
29:4025 or whatever. It's not like I was out there and I could say, hey,
29:43you know what, I'm going to buy.
29:45I mean, I bought a used Chevy Malibu.
29:48The guy who sold it was probably like, I can't believe somebody gave me money
29:51for this. I think it was like $7 ,000 or something.
29:54It was not very much money.
29:55I didn't have any money.
29:57And it's the worst car I've ever driven.
29:59You could not turn the thing.
30:01Like, wouldn't you think... The number one thing you would think if you had a
30:04convertible would be, man, that thing would handle really well.
30:10You had to make like 78 different turns to reverse direction to make a turn
30:16in that car. It had the worst turn radius of any vehicle ever made.
30:20And it's the worst purchase that I ever made.
30:22It was only like $7 ,000.
30:24But I was like, as soon as I started driving it, I was like, this
30:26is a really bad decision we made.
30:28I also like that people would sometimes see me driving by and they would just
30:31start going, holiday road. You know, they reminded them of the car from National Lampoon.
30:38Although that's actually a different...
30:39Also a great movie that holds up.
30:41That original Vacation. And the one that I think is even better, which is rare.
30:45Christmas Vacation is the best of the Vacation franchises.
30:49And that one came out like 20 years later.
30:51Did you see... I'm not letting you get off the hook so easy with this.
30:54Did you see all seven Scream movies?
30:56Oh, yeah. Which was the worst one?
31:01I think Scream 4 probably was the worst.
31:07Maybe Scream 5. I remember when I used to have...
31:12Scream 6 was not good either, really.
31:147 was better than I would say 4, 5, and 6.
31:20Do you remember the Leprechaun movies?
31:22Oh, of course I do.
31:24You know that Jennifer Aniston was in the first one.
31:26It was actually her screen debut.
31:28That's a great casting move by them, by the way.
31:31Yeah, that's an elite pick.
31:33Elite draft pick for a low -budget horror movie.
31:36But Warwick Davis, who was also the good guy in Willow, he plays...
31:41He's a well -known little person actor.
31:44The best -known little person actor before Tyrion Lannister, that guy came along.
31:50I forget his name in real life, but that guy...
31:51That guy's a cocky bastard.
31:52I don't really like him.
31:54Yeah, he's not very likable.
31:56No. He's kind of cocky.
31:57I mean, just... Yeah, I'm not a fan.
31:59He's a little big for his britches, if we're going to be honest.
32:01Yes. And, nonetheless, we had...
32:05Great in Game of Thrones, though.
32:07I mean, really talented. Yes, fantastic in the role.
32:09Full credit for that. But Warwick Davis, the Leprechaun movies, they made five of them,
32:14Clay. And I saw several of the sequels.
32:18There is a Leprechaun in the Hood movie, which is what you think it is.
32:23It is like Boys in the Hood, but they drop a Leprechaun in the middle
32:28of the movie, and it is a thing.
32:31So, you know, I don't know.
32:33They don't make movies like they used to.
32:34That I could tell you.
32:35And they certainly don't make them like Scream 7.
32:38By the way, Peter Dinklage should be incredibly humble.
32:43because he happened to get the best midget character that has ever existed for midget
32:49characters, and yet he didn't accept that role from George R .R.
32:54Martin. I mean, Tyrion Lannister is the greatest midget character in 80 years.
32:59I think they prefer Little Person or Dwarf.
33:01You're throwing the M -word around a lot.
33:03At some point, is it the M -word now?
33:06I'm sticking with midget. Everybody knows what it is.
33:09He got the greatest midget role ever, and instead of being incredibly thankful, do you
33:15remember this? He said it would be offensive when they remade the Snow White woke
33:20Snow White. They had to do computer animated dwarves because he said it would be
33:26offensive to cast midgets to play the dwarves.
33:29Yeah, I remember this. If you're a Little Person actor, the guy just stole the
33:33seven greatest roles that are going to exist in your career because he's a cocky
33:38bastard. I don't like that dude, Peter Dinklage.
33:40He's one of the few people in media that I'm like, he seems like a
33:43total. I'm trying to avoid a jerk.
33:44I'm trying to avoid using the wrong word.
33:46By the way, fast -growing trees.
33:47One of the best parts, spring.
33:49All the leaves coming out after a brutal winter.
33:53Finally starting to get a little bit warm here in Nashville.
33:56The dogwoods are starting to bloom.

35:17Clay says funny things in the break sometimes, guys.
35:20Sorry. The frivolity that... Everybody's angry on social media a lot, it feels like.
35:25I would say anger is the predominant media.
35:28I like to laugh, and so there's a lot of great humor from many of
35:32you on social media on a regular basis.
35:35So, more humor, less anger, I think.
35:37Happy Warriors typically wins. And I wanted to make sure that I mentioned this guy's
35:41name because we talked about him and the fact that he was a hero, and
35:43he's not getting any credit from Momdani at all.
35:47Aaron Edwards, Buck, is the name of the NYPD officer that has gone viral with
35:53a photo of him jumping over a barricade to tackle these two would -be terrorists
35:58outside of Gracie Mansion. Aaron Edwards.
36:01So, thank you from us.
36:03I know we have a lot of NYPD listeners out there in the WOR listening
36:07audience, and I know a lot of you are nodding along, too, that, unfortunately, it
36:11is a sign of the culture that has been embraced from New York City that
36:15people who are protesting at Columbia get to eat dinner in the mayor's residence and
36:21not the people that are actually keeping us all safe from the loony bin criminals
36:26out there. So, thank you to Aaron Edwards of the NYPD.
36:29When we come back, Buck, our friend Ashley Brassfeld is going to join us with
36:34the absolute latest on the Georgia primary, including the race to replace Marjorie Taylor Greene.
36:39That is getting a lot of attention right now.
36:41And then also in the third hour, we'll be joined by Senator Tommy Tuberville of
36:44Alabama. All that coming your way in the next hour, plus your reactions.
36:48Thanks for hanging with us on Clay and Buck.
