0:02Guaranteed human. Welcome back in.
0:05Clay Travis, Buck Sexton Show.
0:08Hour number three. About to be joined by Senator Marsha Blackburn.
0:13One bit of news being reported as we speak.
0:16This is according to Axios.
0:18The U .S. and a group of regional mediators are discussing the possibility of holding
0:24high -level peace talks with Iran as soon as Thursday, but are still waiting for
0:30an official response from Tehran.
0:32Two sources with knowledge of the discussion tell Axios.
0:37We will see what is going on on airports.
0:42We've got some updates for you from across the nation, but we bring in now
0:46Senator Marsha Blackburn of the great state of Tennessee.
0:50And I know yesterday, Senator Blackburn, you were with President Trump as he toured Memphis,
0:56including Graceland. and talked about the massive decline that we have seen in overall violent
1:01crime since there was a surge of federal support.
1:05You represent the state. You were just there.
1:08What should people know nationwide about what's happening in Memphis?
1:13Memphis is the model, Clay.
1:16If you want to get crime down in your city, look at what Memphis has
1:20done and the partnership that is there with local state and federal elected officials and
1:26local state and federal agencies all working together.
1:30And it takes it all as a team.
1:32And when Cash Patel and Pam Bondi were coming through their confirmations for FBI and
1:41Attorney General, I asked each of them and then got a public commitment from them
1:46to help us. They jumped in.
1:50They worked with their agencies.
1:52Federal agencies worked with the local police.
1:55They worked with the Tennessee Highway Patrol and National Guard and Tennessee Bureau of Investigations.
2:02Our U .S. attorney, our U .S.
2:04marshal and 30 federal agencies on the ground working, helping.
2:09And because of that, in under six months, we have cut the crime rate in
2:15Memphis by half. And Memphis is on its way from being the most dangerous city
2:22per capita in the country to being one of the safest cities.
2:26That shows you when the people with a Democrat mayor, Democrat elected, Democrat police chief,
2:34stand up and say, we are going to work with these resources, with these agencies,
2:42with all of these elected officials.
2:44We are going to do this for the good of the people.
2:47Then this is the type result that you get.
2:50Hey, Senator Blackburn, it's Buck.
2:52This is such a remarkable story.
2:54We've seen similar numbers in D .C.
2:56And I know as the crime stats are compiled from cities where there's been this
3:01federal intervention to bring crime down, and we're going to keep seeing this.
3:06But I think you laid into a critical point there, which is that these are,
3:11this is a Democrat -controlled city still.
3:13They were willing to work with the federal government to bring the crime rate down.
3:19Is there any hope in your mind that we might see this then in some
3:23other Democrat -controlled cities? Because if you're the mayor, you know, maybe you have aspirations
3:29to be a governor or a senator perhaps in a state.
3:32But there are a few things that I would believe could be a bigger benefit
3:37to any mayor than be able to look at his constituents when he wants or
3:41she wants to run for re -election and say, yeah, we brought the violent crime
3:44rate down 50%. And that is something that is so vitally important.
3:52You know, the people that came to the roundtable we did in Memphis yesterday had
3:57remarkable stories. And the people that were in the room, Buck, you would have loved
4:03listening to these people. They weren't partisan.
4:06They were citizens of the city of Memphis who have dealt with this crime issue.
4:12And for them to be able to talk about sitting on their porch and drinking
4:16a glass of tea and not worrying about a bullet coming through the house.
4:21For them to talk about being a small business owner and not having landscaping equipment
4:26or delivery equipment stolen or employees not being robbed when they were leaving work and
4:33hear about children back to class.
4:37They're not skipping school. They are going back to school.
4:42They're not being recruited by gangs because many of these gangs have been run out
4:48of the city of Memphis.
4:50Memphis has seen more than 9 ,000 arrests, 9 ,000 in the last five months.
4:59These are violent criminal arrests.
5:02And you have crime down significantly in every category.
5:06Motor vehicle thefts are down 65 % in Memphis.
5:12And when you focus on an issue and say, we're going to surge, and then
5:18once we surge, we're going to look at those results and we're going to figure
5:23out how to... sustain that good work.
5:27And we're going to do it all in partnership for the safety of the people
5:33of our city. We're talking to Senator Marsha Blackburn.
5:37Right now, as we are speaking to you, Senator Mark Wayne Mullen, one of your
5:42former, I guess I could say now, Senate colleagues has been sworn in as the
5:46head of DHS. I believe yesterday he was confirmed by a vote of 55, 54
5:51to 45, including your support.
5:54What can you tell us about Mark Wayne Mullen?
5:56What do you think he will be like as DHS head?
6:00He is a very good friend of mine.
6:03Mark Wayne is someone who is going to work diligently.
6:08He understands how you run a business, how you lead people.
6:13And, you know, that is the most important thing in an organization, is knowing how
6:18to lead people in how to manage assets.
6:22And Mark Wayne gets that.
6:25He gets the difference in that.
6:27He is given to protecting our great nation.
6:30He knows and supports President Trump in his America First agenda.
6:35And it was exciting to be on the floor with him last night to have
6:40his family here and to see their excitement as he was named to our nation's
6:45Secretary of Homeland Security. Speaking to Senator Marsha Blackburn right now.
6:52And, you know, we are seeing these breaking reports from just today, Senator, about some
6:57of these airports that have been so snarled because of Democrats really manufacturing a travel
7:04crisis. That's what has been going on.
7:06But now this ice deployment into these airports has substantially, if not completely, alleviated that
7:15TSA congestion. This is pretty remarkable.
7:20I have to ask you, Senator, do you know that there is some belief that
7:23this originated with a call in to the show on Friday and Clay immediately then
7:29took it to Fox and then the president ran with this.
7:32It looks like this strategy is working.
7:35It is indeed working and putting ice over at the airports to man the exits
7:41as people walk out of the secured areas and to prohibit people from running through
7:48the entrance into that exit or through that exit into the secured area to check
7:55IDs, identifications, to assist PSA employees who are overworked right now.
8:02And we continue to work to try to find a way to get DHS fully
8:09funded. We have a group that has been working with the White House.
8:13It is a part of our appropriations committee, those members, and they are trying to
8:20find a way forward. And then we're also discussing doing a public safety reconciliation where
8:27we will look at bolstering the funds that are necessary to continue the public safety
8:33efforts for our nation. We're talking to Senator Marsha Blackburn.
8:37You spend a lot of time in Washington, D .C.
8:40The overall violent crime rate has collapsed in Washington, D .C.
8:44You were just in Memphis.
8:45You just shared the data with us about how much the crime rate has collapsed
8:50in Memphis. Isn't it now the case that using both these cities as sort of
8:56experiments, for lack of a better way to describe it, that there are tons of
9:01cities out there that if we did the exact same thing, we could save a
9:05massive amount of lives? Shouldn't we just start to apply these lessons nationwide?
9:10Oh, yes. And when you look at the difference in Memphis and Minneapolis, think about
9:15that one. Where in Memphis, they embraced the help and welcomed the help.
9:22And then they moved forward with making the city secure.
9:26And as I said now, 9 ,000 arrests later.
9:29And I will also add, in addition to the hundreds of vehicles that have been
9:35recovered, the hundreds of weapons that have been taken off the street, they have found
9:39over 150 missing children that were being held by people.
9:46And they have been returned home.
9:48And as I said, you've got hundreds of children that have gone back to school.
9:51They're not joining the gangs.
9:54And other cities should be looking at this.
9:57And, you know, you look at somewhere like Chicago or LA or San Francisco that
10:04has such horrific issues. You look at cities that are sanctuary cities for illegal immigration.
10:12And you say, why are they harboring these criminal illegal aliens?
10:17And then you look at Memphis, where citizens are walking up to you.
10:22You know, people call our office every single day.
10:25And they say, thank you so much for focusing on Memphis, for bringing peace to
10:31our city, for helping to get the crime down.
10:37No doubt. Thank you so much.
10:38Yeah. Senator, by the way, congrats on polling.
10:42I don't know if you comment on polling very much, but I saw that you
10:45have a 50 -point lead in the upcoming governor's race, which will, frankly, largely be
10:52be decided in august when the republican primary happens so congrats on how well that
10:57campaign is going well thank you we are working hard and working to earn every
11:03vote and grateful for those good polls that are coming our way no doubt that
11:08is senator marcia blackburn soon to be the next governor of the great state of
11:12tennessee my governor look forward to that uh and i want to tell you right
11:16now if you are watching what is happening all around the world there are continued
11:22attacks on israel from iran as they are firing weapons into israel with no real
11:28regard for where those missiles are headed and if you are uh paying attention to
11:34that at all you probably have also been noticing that constantly israeli uh citizens have
11:39to be running into bomb shelters and one of the groups that's helping to create
11:43bomb shelters international fellowship of christians and jews they're putting more bomb shelters if you're
11:48driving on the road in israel every now and then there's just a bomb shelter
11:52on the side of the road so if you get a missile alert you can
11:55pull off on the side of the road go there if you are receiving treatment
11:59inside of hospitals they have had to relocate some of the hospitals underground into the
12:05parking garages if you're wondering who helps to make that happen it's the international fellowship
12:09of christians and jews and they are doing things to try to protect people in
12:14the holy land everywhere uh your generous gift can show that you stand with the
12:19people of israel and want to make sure that they are protected in a time
12:23of war to rush your gift you can call 888 -488 -IFCJ that's 888 -488
12:30-IFCJ you can also give online at ifcj .org that's ifcj .org clay travis and
12:40buck sexton mic drops that never sounded so good find them on the free iheart
12:47radio app or wherever you get your podcasts welcome back into clay and buck uh
12:52we are seeing the evidence of this strategy linda's ice deployment maneuver the brilliance of
13:03this audience saving travelers saving america perhaps here we go this is let's do let's
13:10let's do these in order team cut 32 fox news reporter madison scarpino at the
13:16atlanta airport today listen to this report it is exponentially different here today than it
13:22was this time yesterday over the weekend um as you can see there is a
13:26very short line right now and it's unclear if that's because ice is now assisting
13:31tsa or if it's just a slower travel day but regardless a remarkable change from
13:35the hours long ways we've been seeing with lines stretching all the way around baggage
13:40claim that's one cnn reporter clay cnn obviously rooting for those lines to be as
13:49long and painful and stress inducing as possible anything to hurt trump but cnn having
13:57to observe with their eyes what's going on here three ryan uh ryan young at
14:02the atlanta airport 33 play it there may be a celebration here at the airport
14:06before it's all said and done especially for the folks who've been working non -stop
14:09uh extra shifts if you look right here you can see this is the main
14:13checkpoint almost no lines no waiting sarah and this is unbelievable at this point uh
14:18this morning started briskly with a lot of people showing up here at the airport
14:23lines were long people were waiting about an hour but when that rush hour went
14:27away pretty quickly this morning we ended up with this and there seems to be
14:31more lines open than normal right now with the tsa workers here breezing people through
14:36in fact a lot of folks have been showing up shocked at how short the
14:39lines are okay so this can vary airport to airport i tweeted this out i
14:46flew nashville this morning uh i'm flying jacksonville uh as well it looked fine at
14:52these airports but buck i've also seen some reports so one that's a positive something
14:57in atlanta changed maybe the use of ice agents has freed up tsa workers maybe
15:03they have been able to streamline the process in some way that's very good for
15:07people have to travel in atlanta uh it seems like houston and new york city
15:12jfk in particular and i a h at houston not hobby which is the smaller
15:19southwest airlines airport has been kind of a disaster and i think new orleans is
15:24still a mess but it does seem to be somewhat airport determinate i believe you
15:30can get online and look up wait times uh for many of these airports i
15:35would encourage anybody who's traveling to do that uh because you don't want to be
15:40at an airport for multi hours but you also don't want to miss your flight
15:45so that kind of puts us in to a difficult position let's update you on
15:49this by the way cut 34 i told you as we were talking with senator
15:54marsha blackburn that we had seen mark wayne mullen officially sworn in again he was
16:01confirmed 54 to 45 two democrats supported him ran paul as he told you he
16:06would do on this program uh voted against him as the lone republican here is
16:12trump swearing in mark wayne mullen as secretary of uh homeland security dhs he's got
16:19great quality i can and tell you it's the only native american in the senate
16:22how many have been there before you do you know native american three three well
16:29you're a fantastic representative mark wayne has also been a fantastic advocate for a cherished
16:35tribal communities he's now the first member of the cherokee nation ever to serve as
16:41a member of the cabinet i didn't know all these things i would have picked
16:45him faster if i had done i would have made a quicker decision uh are
16:51you surprised buck i kept expecting a elizabeth warren joke there um because mark wayne
16:56mullen is actually a member of the cherokee nation and elizabeth warren said that she
17:01was native american because of her high cheekbones uh wrote a uh cooking powwow chow
17:06and then did the dna and found out she was one one thousand and twenty
17:11-fourths uh native american i think which is less than the average white person in
17:15america yes indeed elizabeth warren still somehow a respected democrat senator among democrats despite her
17:25entire career being based upon race fraud um yes i agree with you trump also
17:30i would have thought might have slipped in elizabeth but you know he doesn't want
17:32to take away from the moment for mark wayne mullen who's now dhs secretary and
17:39uh look i'll just say this because i think it's in the interest of the
17:41country to be honest about this uh i think mark wayne is a big is
17:45is a big leadership upgrade and i think that the dhs is going to run
17:50more smoothly now from the top down and there's not going to be a lot
17:53of stories not just from oppo media but from you know the wall street journal
17:57that are uh going after it so i think this is great and uh we
18:01we hope senator mullen now dhs secretary mullen has a very effective time in the
18:07role all right uh time has a way of proving who's right and who's wrong
18:11let's use the price of gold as an example do you believe in gold well
18:1420 years ago if you put twenty thousand dollars of your hard -earned dollars into
18:19gold you would have owned about 33 ounces today those 33 ounces that you spent
18:2420k on would be worth 150 000 there's good reason why americans have been diversifying
18:31a portion of their savings into precious metals like gold for a long time it's
18:35something that you can start doing this year or adding to your existing holdings with
18:39birch gold group that's who i go to birch gold can also help you uh
18:43convert an existing ira or 401k into an ira in gold text my name buck
18:49to 98 98 98 receive your free info kit on gold text my name buck
18:53to 98 98 98 text b -u -c -k to 98 98 98 get started
18:59with birch gold group welcome back in clay travis buck sexton show buck i saw
19:05this news story come out we've been talking about tsa um and ice obviously being
19:09deployed to 13 different airports thanks to winda in arizona who has a hat signed
19:16by president trump on her way um and um i wanted to hit a couple
19:22of things here that i saw this morning as i was uh headed into work
19:27um and today i headed into work on southwest airlines flying down to jacksonville super
19:33smooth um thanks to the southwest crew and also thanks to nashville's tsa no line
19:39at all there when i came through this morning and the guys and gals there
19:43were doing great work even though they're working without pay but this story atlanta i
19:48bet you i don't know if you saw this yet buck delta airlines announced this
19:52week it's suspended its standalone service for members of congress until the tsa is fully
19:59funded i love this great move delta quote due to the impact on resources from
20:05the long -standing government shutdown delta will temporarily suspend specialty services to members of congress
20:14flying delta flying delta next to safety delta's number one priority is taking care of
20:20our people and customers which has become increasingly difficult in the current environment a spokesman
20:26for delta this is from the atlanta journal constitution said house and senate members will
20:32now be treated like all flying passengers based on their sky mile status in other
20:38words just like you and me i first of all i don't think i don't
20:45know what you think about this buck i don't think house and senate members should
20:49get special status now if you fly all the time and you're a medallion member
20:54or a frequent flyer whatever the the phrase is that these different airlines use fine
20:59because you're spending a lot of money and they want to treat you better because
21:03you're a valued customer all those things can make sense but there are 535 members
21:10of the house and senate how many people do you think are regularly recognized and
21:17harassed and again you're inside of an airport so we know there's not people with
21:22guns or knives or anything that would make it violent there um i don't know
21:27that they should ever return this privilege and certainly when tsa is not getting paid
21:32i like taking it away but i don't know that they these guys really deserve
21:36special privilege anyway like why can't an average member of congress or the senate stand
21:43in line like everybody else what are your thoughts on this yeah i think it's
21:47a a a beard almost like a celebrity uh you know fringe benefit that is
21:53not there's no reason i am i am i all in favor of calling out
21:57united states military to the front of the line let them board absolutely for serving
22:02in the military congress yeah some of them serve some of them serve themselves mostly
22:07actually they serve themselves i'm not about to say that they can't be like the
22:11rest of us in fact i think the more that members of congress have to
22:14act like normal people the better for all of us i'm all in favor i
22:19for example hit the roof as so many people did when congress exempted themselves from
22:25obamacare remember that oh yeah of course oh we're gonna force this on all of
22:28you but i mean we're gonna have our gold -plated awesome plans but you can
22:31have the crap plans i i would just continue to say this and i think
22:36it would end lockdowns and shutdowns and everything else once and for all if congress
22:41can't get a budget passed then congress shouldn't get paid period for the whole year
22:46like if you can't your job is to get budgets passed we keep having all
22:52these lockdowns all these shutdowns and people who are normal hard -working uh employees are
22:59losing their ability to get paid so to me if you're in congress and you
23:04can't get a budget passed you shouldn't get paid and i think it would immediately
23:08go away buck i think if if house and senate members had to get a
23:13had to deal with the same things that they're putting other people through i think
23:18they would get paid and look i i think there are house and senate members
23:22that do not have a lot of money right there and those people should be
23:26driving this because if you're having to live on your salary and pay your mortgage
23:32and pay for your kids uh daycare or whatever else then you should understand better
23:38than the average super millionaire uh who is being funded by george soros probably and
23:45isn't having to live on what they actually make it's easier i think for those
23:50people to say hey we're just going to shut down the government what do we
23:53care i think if you started saying congress doesn't get paid for the year that
23:58they shut down i think this would end once and for all and i don't
24:02think it's good our friend senator ron johnson of wisconsin has laid out in the
24:06wall street journal and we've had him on talking about this a super logical process
24:10for the budget that requires everything to get done i was just reading his piece
24:15he had a good piece about the filibuster over the weekend and uh and he
24:19said look i mean it's 49 out of 50 states i think have a balanced
24:24budget requirement so state governments tend to balance their budgets go figure uh the federal
24:30government doesn't and i think incompetence should not be rewarded and so when i saw
24:35this story from delta airlines i said good for delta because remember all the ceos
24:39of the airlines came out and said fun tsa get this taken care of we
24:44want this done um and uh i just think it's a uh i just think
24:49it's a and so i mean that makes sense to you yeah absolutely and i
24:59i'm glad the airlines are fighting back a little bit here but this is nonsense
25:03because as you all know the airline employees are taking a lot of the brunt
25:07of this you think people are going to be in a good mood when they
25:10walk up to the the ticket counter or whatever or they get on a plane
25:15and deal with the attendance and the pilot crew you think people are going to
25:18be nice and in a good mood after waiting four hours in a tsa line
25:22i mean i i'd be i'd be steaming mad uh try to be polite to
25:26the people had nothing to do with it but i think any person would have
25:29really had more than their fill and the frustration would be boiling over so this
25:34is this is absolutely uh the right move for them to do and it's also
25:38just it's just so classic the democrats are doing this and it's it's all based
25:44in in the lie the lie is that somehow this is republicans creating these lines
25:49because they won't just bend the knee and let democrats have control over immigration enforcement
25:54yes that's not the way that this works they don't have the executive branch the
25:59executive branch should not be bending the knee when democrats are in the minority to
26:04how laws are enforced by federal agencies because democrats get sad about the enforcement of
26:11federal law sorry so they're willing to just make people miserable and unhappy and then
26:17lie about who did it i you know i just to me this just shows
26:21you what what really a an unethical and pretty depraved party the democrats have become
26:26this is the best they can do because if they were admitting to everybody yeah
26:30guys we're the reason we're so dedicated to illegal aliens that we think we want
26:36to keep so many illegal aliens in this country that we don't even want the
26:40child predators and the gang members and the murderers to be deported we want to
26:45keep them all we want to keep all those illegals so you're waiting in line
26:49because democrats don't want any of those illegals even the worst of the worst illegals
26:54sent back to the countries that are actually the countries that they belong in if
26:59they were going to do that clay i would say all right but they're not
27:02right they're playing a game here and the game is oh we're willing to open
27:06up the tsa if only republicans would play play ball with us like what are
27:10you talking about what are you really standing for by the way president trump is
27:15right now. We'll play some of this audio, but I'll read this quote.
27:19This is from the Rapid Response 47 account on Iran.
27:24We're in negotiations right now.
27:26I can tell you they'd like to make a deal.
27:29Who wouldn't if you were there?
27:30Look, their Navy's gone. Their Air Force is gone.
27:34Their communications are gone. Pretty much everything they have is gone.
27:38That is President Trump speaking at the Mark Wayne Mullen swearing in.
27:44He says there's a change in the leadership.
27:48Iran's leaders are all different than the ones who started.
27:52Then there are additional quotes coming out.
27:55We will keep running on this.
27:58President Trump speaking as we are talking with all of you in the Oval Office
28:02right now. It says Rubio and Vance are involved in negotiations with Iran in addition
28:08to Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff.
28:12Okay, we will update you on that.
28:15In the meantime, if you are trying to preserve your overall memories in your household,
28:22if you have potentially had difficulty with trying to keep track of all the old
28:28VHS tapes or all the old camera film reels, all the old pictures, that's what

29:52Welcome back in here to Clay and Buck.
29:54Going to close us out with a whole lot of talkbacks here.
29:59Podcast listener Luke in Utah.
30:01This is A on our talkback list.
30:04Let's hear from Luke. Since listeners of this show are coming up with great ideas
30:09to save the country, I got one for you.
30:12I think Elon Musk should buy everyone in America some Crockett coffee.
30:18That would provide us all with some delicious caffeine and fuel economic boom like this
30:26country's never seen before. I mean, I love I love the idea.
30:31Yeah. I mean, it's delicious coffee.
30:33Crockett coffee dot com. Go subscribe.
30:34We're going to have a special signed book offer for current and new subscribers coming
30:41up here soon. So that's very, very exciting stuff.
30:45Go subscribe today. Crockett coffee dot com.
30:47Uh, let's do podcast listener.
30:49This is E Kevin from Texas.
30:52I just got a great chuckle when Buck called Clay out for being a flute
30:57player. I think from now on, instead of saying F you, it should be flute
31:03you. I look me in the flute playing universe of America.
31:10We flautists. Uh, we've been discriminated against for long enough and we make magic happen,
31:16um, on a daily basis.
31:19I mean, I, I said before clay shirtless playing the flute.
31:23We might have to do it just so we can get those YouTube numbers up.
31:27You know, we, those, the, the 65 year old and up grannies of America clay,
31:32they have spoken. They want what they want and I'm not going to deny them
31:35shirtless clay playing the flute.
31:37It's coming up on the beach season.
31:39I got to get in better shape.
31:40Chris in Florida, uh, cut C.
31:44Mr. Clay Travis, sir. Outstanding.
31:48Outstanding. Yesterday was the most impressive thing I've heard from anybody in television or radio.
31:57And I don't even know when the way you kept on making sure Linda got
32:02her dues for what she said was incredible.
32:07Well done, sir. Look, when you have a good idea, I think you deserve credit
32:11for it. Linda's got a Trump was right about everything hat coming her way, made
32:15out specially to her from the president of the United States.
32:18Uh, Michael in, uh, thank you for that feedback.
32:21Michael in Clearwater D. You haven't mentioned it with regards to the TSA and the
32:26Homeland security, uh, issues right now, but, um, it looks like Delta is actually doing
32:32something about it. As of now, from what I understand, they've suspended all, uh, direct
32:37access to the flights for congressional members and things of that nature, which basically means.
32:43They're going to have to stand in line, so maybe we'll get some resolution quicker
32:47than we thought. When we talked about that just a little bit ago, I mean,
32:52I think it's a no -brainer, and I think it's a good solution that helps
32:55to make sense. This is such a dirty thing for the Democrats to do.
33:00I know I keep coming back to this, but I haven't been—you know, we fly
33:05a lot, and you've actually just—you just flew yesterday, right?
33:09This morning. This morning, yeah.
33:11If I were stuck in some three -hour -long line because Chuck Schumer and co.
33:17are throwing a tantrum, I would be very unhappy.
33:21That's all I could tell you.
33:22There would be a lot of things muttered by yours truly that I could not
33:26say on the radio without running afoul of the FCC.
33:31Let's see. We have Scott in Houston listens on KT—the great KTRH.
33:36Play F. Hey, Scott in Houston, Clay, mate, that would mean Sunset in New York
33:42would be at 5 p .m., and Sunset in Los Angeles would be at 9
33:49p .m. Not cool, dude.
33:52I think it depends on the time of the year.
33:54This was my two -time zone suggestion.
33:57We had the half -hour time zone guy who called in, and I said, look,
34:00I think they would be more efficient if we didn't have four time zones, if
34:04we had two. And so if we split the nation instead of having east, central,
34:09mountain, and Pacific, if we just had central and we just had mountain time, I
34:15think that could make some sense.
34:17But I'm just trying to make the world better.
34:22What was I going to say?
34:22B? Yeah, but hold on.
34:24Let me give you a positive.
34:25Ice agents in Houston, Buck, huge lines.
34:29What are they doing? Handing out water and holding spaces in line for people who
34:35have kids when the kids need to go to the bathroom.
34:38Man, what devils these ice agents are.
34:41That's what they're actually doing right now as we speak to all of you in
34:46Houston. They're helping people deal with the lines, particularly, as we said before, those with
34:51little kids, because as frustrating as standing in line for a couple of hours is
34:55for adults, imagine doing it with little kids.
34:59Mark from Goodyear, Arizona. This is Talkback B.
35:03Hit it. Hey, Clay and Buck, thank you for all you guys do.
35:06This is Mark from Goodyear, Arizona.
35:09Maybe Linda could speak on the fuel prices, considering I just filled up for $4
35:14.99 a gallon. Not really sure I understand that, as the price of oil drops.
35:22Seems like the price of the fuel pump rises.
35:26They're not connected in the short term.
35:29It's very frustrating. And I know everybody out there knows exactly what I'm talking about.
35:33It's amazing how quickly the cost of rising prices of oil and gas can be
35:41reflected in what you pay and how long it takes for the decline in oil
35:45and gas to be reflected in what you pay.
35:48It's a little bit, Buck, like how it's way easier to put on weight than
35:52it is to take off weight, as some of you may have experienced.
35:55Or for, oh yeah, I've experienced that for sure.
35:59And, you know, let's just say you're a husband, as Clay and I are, and
36:04you go to the grocery store with the list that your wife gives you.
36:07And let's say there are 20 items on that list, and you get 19 of
36:11them, but that 20th item is not, what did you hear about the 19 that
36:16you got? No, no, it's that 20th item that all of a sudden is the
36:20most important. You can't finish the dish.
36:22Dinner is ruined, Clay, without item number 20.
36:25It's amazing how that goes.
36:27You know what's even worse than that is when you come back and you say,
36:31I looked everywhere. It wasn't in the grocery store.
36:35And then she goes to the grocery store, and she finds it, and it turns
36:39out that it was there.
36:40I would rather just jump off the roof.
36:40That's when you've got to be going for a long walk when she gets home.
36:43Better to jump off the roof at that point than still be home when she
36:46gets back. Good luck for all the husbands with the shopping list.
36:49We'll be back with you guys tomorrow.
36:51I'll see a bunch of you in Jacksonville here in a few minutes.
36:54Thanks for listening to Clay and Buck.
