Hour 3 - Bell-to-Bell "No Cell"
2/25/202637 mincomplete
0:00This is an iHeart Podcast.
0:02Guaranteed human. When I last spoke in this chamber 12 months ago, I had just
0:07inherited a nation in crisis with a stagnant economy, inflation at record levels, a wide
0:16open border, horrendous recruitment for military and police, rampant crime at home, and wars and
0:24chaos all over the world.
0:26But tonight, after just one year, I can say with dignity and pride that we
0:31have achieved a transformation like no one has ever seen before.
0:36Today, our border is secure.
0:38Our spirit is restored. Inflation is plummeting.
0:43Incomes are rising fast. The roaring economy is roaring like never before.
0:50And our enemies are scared.
0:53Our military and police are stacked.
0:55And America is respected again, perhaps like never before.
1:04That was from the State of Union last night.
1:07President Trump giving a phenomenal, in my opinion, Clay also sees it as a great
1:14speech, a phenomenal address to the nation.
1:18And the transformation of the nation in 12 months or so has been nothing short
1:27of incredible. And I think that he has done even better than I had anticipated
1:34in that period of time.
1:35He has accomplished even more.
1:38And one of the reasons I like to point this out, Clay, is the, oh,
1:43it's all the same. It's all a uniparty.
1:45Trump party, nothing matters, the black pill, if you will, that some people on the
1:51right even like to take.
1:52Maybe they do it online to get attention or they're just having a bad day,
1:55which that can happen. You know, sometimes I'm a little salty.
1:58I've had bad days. But there is, I think, an important point in saying the
2:07country is doing really well right now.
2:09Trump is delivering. The decision does matter.
2:13Who is in charge? Who has power to shape this country's future and its destiny
2:18does matter. It is not all the same.
2:21Apathy isn't cool. Trump, the Republicans are infinitely better than the Democrats on balance on
2:31every major issue right now.
2:33And one thing that I would just say is what is an objective measure that
2:38someone could point to and say it was better under Biden?
2:44I don't, if I were offered a bounty, if I were offered a reward, a
2:50substantial one, to come up with something off the top of my head that I
2:55would have to concede, you know, Biden was a whole lot better on that issue.
3:00I can't do it. Clay, I think that we're in an area here of politics
3:06where the Democrats are so wrong on so many things that they are just going
3:13to keep digging because the alternative is to turn around and start one by one
3:18admitting and accepting that they've managed to get on the wrong side of every important
3:23issue, the border, crime, immigration enforcement, the economy.
3:31I mean, we're seeing with states right now, people are fleeing.
3:34I mean, Gavin Newsom pulled this routine.
3:36I'm sure you saw him.
3:37He was asked, and it was a friendly interview too, I think it was like
3:40MS Now or one of those channels, asking about people leaving his state.
3:44And he's just like, we have the biggest AI.
3:46And it's like, yeah, dude, you inherited Silicon Valley.
3:49Congratulations. Your state is falling apart because of your governance.
3:53People are fleeing in large numbers.
3:55If you didn't have a lot of immigrants coming into this country, you would have
3:59had negative population. I mean, this, I, they're losing everywhere.
4:04I just sort of sit here and say to myself, where is the, what is
4:08the, the, the bright shining thing for Democrats?
4:11Obama kid. They would have said healthcare.
4:13Trump brought this up last night in the speech.
4:15Obamacare is a disaster. It's tripled everybody's healthcare premiums.
4:21No, all of that is true.
4:24And it is why their only outcome is people not paying attention that could lead
4:31to them getting support. I mean, I'll open up phone lines.
4:35Is anybody out there that see something that Democrats are doing and thinks we need
4:42more of that? 800 -282 -2882.
4:46I think this is where I'm a results guy.
4:49I'm a data guy. Show me the results.
4:52This is why in the first hour I said, murders are down 67 % in
4:57Washington, DC. That is a tangible result in my opinion of Trump's policies on crime.
5:04Inflation is down. I believe it's at 2 .4 % most recently.
5:09The stock market's at record highs.
5:11I think that is a reflection of Trump's economic policies.
5:15The border is shut down.
5:17Again, personally, I understand why people can say, I don't like Trump.
5:23He's not my cup of.
5:24tea he's too much of a bull in a china shop i don't like the
5:28things he tweets i don't like some of the names that he calls people all
5:31of that i would say okay i can understand that criticism but i'm a results
5:37guy and if you tell me that you're only going to analyze the results and
5:42not the surrounding penumbra of trump uh behavior there's nothing you can criticize in the
5:49actual results which is why their only hope is to play on emotion you know
5:56what wasn't mentioned once i don't believe last night buck and this is where i
6:00think democrats have to start to get really nervous you're right democrats traditionally have won
6:05on health care but a lot of people are getting their insurance bills and they're
6:09saying wait a minute obamacare is broken my premiums are tripling they're quadrupling i think
6:15there's a lot of you out there that are even just saying i just want
6:19health care that's protection for catastrophe and and and and i mean that like you're
6:25gonna look and say i'll pay a lot of you out there i know we're
6:28starting to research this because i've done it in the past i'll pay the first
6:33seven thousand dollars of my medical expenses right off the top i'll make that risk
6:39i'll even take on the first 10k or something like that you're only worried about
6:43catastrophic related health care i think there's way more people buying that but buck you
6:50know what wasn't isn't talked about anymore at all and is actually the linchpin of
6:53basically the entire democrat party abortion it is remember when they told us dobbs gets
7:01passed democrats tried to say they're going to be showing up at the door dragging
7:05your daughter out by her hair you're going to be trying to drive across the
7:09state line and police are going to pull you over and they're going to throw
7:12your uh your your sister in prison it's gone it has vanished as a political
7:19issue every state make its decision and whatever state you're in you can advocate for
7:24it i i knew this was the case by the way we've been talking on
7:27the show for years they managed to right after dobbs kind of and i was
7:32like i'm telling you this isn't going to be an issue until people experienced what
7:37actually was the result of dobbs they were able to play with but as soon
7:41as they did it was true which is that it wasn't an issue at all
7:43uh because it's gone back to the states which is what it should have done
7:47all along and you know states have different abortion laws states have different age of
7:52consent laws like states have different gun laws states have different laws that depending on
7:56what state you're in you're either good to go or going to prison i mean
8:00there's states have a lot of power states make very big determinations about things that
8:05you'll go well that feels kind of arbitrary but that's the deal um and and
8:10on abortion that certainly it falls into that category so yeah that is something on
8:14that think about it there's hardly any discussion even on a state level about it
8:20and if they don't have health care which i think you're right now they're going
8:24to blame republicans for it right but the reality is their solution to health care
8:29has failed and made everything worse abortion's not a thing anymore i don't even hear
8:34it in state legislative races what do they have what is their thing where they're
8:38like we can address this and make things better i legitimately can't even think of
8:43one we we don't have we don't have an insurance system when it comes to
8:48health care your health insurance is not insurance it is a complex system of cross
8:54subsidies where there are guaranteed payments made uh from the government to hospital systems and
9:02to insurers and also insurers get guaranteed client base from all of us because we
9:06have to have insurance uh and what what you have is it's not insurance because
9:11younger and healthy people who should be the cheapest to get insurance have to subsidize
9:18the old the sick and the illegals that's it and and the point you know
9:24and the poor right i mean there are people who that's the entire system is
9:28you're going to get more expensive and crappier stuff than you would otherwise if you
9:34are somebody who is generally healthy and pays for your own stuff you're going to
9:39get generally crappier more expensive stuff so that we can get because health care is
9:44a finite resource despite what people think despite what people say and uh that means
9:50that you know we we're just squeezing the balloon and goes to one side instead
9:55of the other and this is why family of four that's you know ever you
10:00know the the parents are like 35 to 55 or something and they got two
10:03kids they can't afford their health care premiums yes because they're paying for illegals in
10:08california new york they're paying for people who are chronically ill now we could have
10:14a talk as a society about what we do with the so -called high risk
10:18pools right we could have a talk about that but that's not the talk that
10:21we had instead it was everybody gets sandwiched in together and so you have some
10:26people that are and then you talk about uh uh the the elderly and there's
10:30no incentive here's a perfect example of this clay and this was actually just making
10:34the rounds on x uh in the last couple of days it's a great example
10:37can we talk about tvs and how when you and i were in yeah it's
10:41a great one or you know when uh when i was in college and you
10:45know you were in your 40s there were it was it was hard to care
10:49you know tvs were like these huge heavy things and i would i remember pooling
10:54money with my college roommates uh to be like we spent you know 500 or
10:58800 or something which was a lot of money to us and on a tv
11:02and this thing you know weighed like 150 pounds and now you you get it's
11:08like a 60 inch plasma for 500 i mean it's it's crazy which is crazy
11:11yeah same thing's true of of getting an mri and versus getting lasik lasik is
11:18a generally a fee -for -service very high satisfaction eye surgery where people compete different
11:26ophthalmologists or whoever does it you're probably maybe that's not i think it's ophthalmologists but
11:30whoever's doing lasik surgeries they maybe it's an eye surgeons or something whatever they're called
11:35uh they compete on price and and the whole experience and so lasik is half
11:41the price it was 20 years ago mris having have improved basically not a raw
11:47not at all same technology and mris are now 100 more expensive give or take
11:53how is that possible everybody because of the bureaucracy because they tell you that you're
12:00getting insured you're not getting insured but people don't want insurance people want a magic
12:05little card that pays for all their boo -boos and makes all the bad things
12:08go away even though that ain't happening either by the way no matter what insurance
12:12you have so this is the problem we can't there's no accountability there's no honesty
12:16and there's no transparency in the pricing in the health care system positive front page
12:21wall street journal today ozempic prices are collapsing you know why because everybody is competing
12:29with the glp ones and as a result the overall cost for your average consumer
12:36purchase has plummeted compared to what it used to cost uh and um we'll take
12:42some of your calls 800 -282 -2882 but i think this is why uh i'm
12:46looking around and i but yeah i like to watch and see how everybody's covering
12:50cnn and msnbc haven't covered by and large the trump state of the union today
12:55that's a sign that things went really well for trump they basically are just pretending
13:00it didn't happen they're turning the page and they're moving on to other stories because
13:06last night was seen as such of a success for the vast majority i think
13:10of people you know how you know how pathetic it actually has gotten in democrat
13:14world clay you know what really one of the primary really the primary democrat attack
13:20on trump is these days it's not russia collusion it's not elections uh denial it's
13:26not you know the insurrection whatever you know what it is right now epstein on
13:32trump that's the thing that's the lead right now on msnbc i didn't even know
13:37that you have a quad box up i don't even have it up in here
13:39that's yeah epstein that that's that's trump's fault like this guy was whatever you're saying
13:46this guy was doing this for decades like does the epstein thing is trump's fault
13:50they've released millions of pages the millions of pages are out there but this just
13:55goes to show they charged epstein while was in office the first time everybody forget
14:01your trump slander that's all this is trump epstein trump epstein something that you would
14:06see in an authoritarian or totalitarian dictatorship these are tactics my friends trump epstein manufacturing
14:13delusion a fantastic book which you can get right now on amazon explains these tactics
14:18does explain them in detail because that's all they're doing they're just smearing his name

15:30podcast with clay and buck find it in their podcast feed on the iheart radio
15:35app or wherever you get your podcasts welcome back in clay travis buck sexton show
15:40we're gonna get to your poll uh your calls here in in just a couple
15:44of minutes so we got loaded lines stick with us buck this is interesting do
15:49you know which democrat was the only democrat to shake trump's hand at the state
15:54of the union uh our buddy from pennsylvania fetterman yes that's correct i just guessed
16:01that but i had a feeling yep legitimate oh sorry we've got senator blackburn coming
16:05up we'll get to your calls in a sec i bring that up because quinnipiac
16:08just came out with a poll in pennsylvania republicans have a 55 point approval for
16:16john fetterman 73 to 18 dim Democrats, minus 40.
16:23Fetterman is overwhelmingly popular with Republicans, overwhelmingly negative now with Democrats.
16:31I just thought that was super interesting.
16:33All right, let's get to some of your calls.
16:35Scott in Indiana, what you got for us?
16:39Hey, Clay, earlier you said you were worried about Democrats winning back the House.
16:45And then just a few minutes ago, Buck said they're losing everywhere.
16:49Democrats are losing everywhere. I'm confused.
16:53If they're losing everywhere, how come we're worried about them taking back the House?
16:58No, I mean, they're losing the argument.
17:00They're losing the argument everywhere.
17:02Yeah. The concern that we have is that we are in a post -fact world
17:07where results may not matter.
17:09I also think Trump derangement when Trump is not on the ballot, this is my
17:14personal take, is a more powerful motivator than Trump's support is.
17:19Again, when Trump is off the ballot, the people who hate him are more likely
17:24to show up because their brains are broken than everybody is out there who's a
17:29big Trump supporter. We saw this in 2018 when Democrats were very successful in the
17:34midterms. Now, so that's why I would say I think the House is potentially going
17:39to be in play. And if I were predicting right now, I would say it's
17:43likely that we're going to have a tough time keeping control of the House.
17:47Okay. Let me hit you with this.

18:57Clay Travis and Buck Sexton.
18:59Welcome back into Clay and Buck.
19:01We are joined by Senator Marsha Blackburn of the great state of Tennessee, which has
19:07given us both a fantastic senator and a fantastic Clay Travis.
19:11So we have so much to be thankful for, Tennessee.
19:14And thank you for being here, Senator.
19:17Well, I'm always so delighted to join you all.
19:20Thanks for having me back.
19:22It really was an incredible State of the Union.
19:25And that comes, Senator Blackburn, from somebody who thinks even his own team, State of
19:30the Unions, are usually kind of boring and go too long.
19:32I thought last night was remarkable.
19:34I just wanted to get your top -line thoughts on it.
19:37And how was it? It was remarkable.
19:42And the two hours absolutely flew by because the president just kept rolling right on
19:49through all the objections that the left side of the aisle was throwing their way.
19:55I was so pleased. He laid out where we were a year and a half
19:58ago with 9 % inflation, with chaos in the world.
20:01And then he drew it to today, where we're at 2 .4 % inflation, the
20:08price of gas coming down, the price of groceries beginning to normalize, wages going up,
20:14and job opportunities increasing. And our standing in the world is restored.
20:20Our allies are working with us.
20:23Our adversaries and enemies fear us.
20:26They know that President Trump means business and that he has the backing of Republicans
20:33in the House and the Senate.
20:36Were you stunned, even as someone who has been involved in politics for a long
20:41time, that when they had the mom of a murdered, innocent woman and they had
20:47her stand, and when they had Charlie Kirk's wife, Erica, stand, and when even on
20:53a much less serious front, they brought in the U .S.
20:57men's Olympic team that every Democrat didn't stand up and clap.
21:02I wish there had been even more of a camera on the larger viewing area
21:08so you could see it.
21:10But I got to admit, I was kind of staggered.
21:12I don't know who gave Democrats that advice, but including, hey, do you think your
21:16job is to take care of citizens or illegal immigrants?
21:20That's right. I couldn't believe the way they behaved.
21:23Their behavior was appalling, and the fact that they would stay sitting in their seats
21:29and not stand to honor these who have lost loved ones, to honor those that
21:37have served our country, to honor the oath that they took to protect and defend
21:45and honor the people. who voted for them and elected them to make certain that
21:52they were there to serve the people.
21:55It was absolutely astounding. But you know what?
21:59This is where the line of distinction is.
22:04What we have seen is the current Democrat Party, which is led by the far
22:11left wing of the Democrat Party, the Democrat Socialists.
22:15They would rather take care of illegal immigrants than they would take care of the
22:23people that voted for them.
22:25They would rather provide for illegal immigrants than provide for the citizens of their states
22:35and the citizens of this nation.
22:37It is astounding. Senator Blackburn, you also wanted to talk to us today about this
22:45case currently with the courts involving social media and there's the Kids Online Safety Act.
22:54There's a whole range of issues coming together here.
22:56Can you just tell us first what is going on right now?
23:01We've got Mark Zuckerberg recently had to show up in Los Angeles County Superior Court.
23:07He testified. He's the CEO of Meta.
23:10There's this whole court case going on.
23:12It's with the jury right now.
23:14What are the items at issue and what do you want to see from this
23:18case? Yes, indeed. This case, which I will say this, Mark Zuckerberg being on the
23:26stand in this case, I don't know what the outcome, the legal ramifications of the
23:32case are going to end up being.
23:34No one can tell us exactly because there's a jury involved.
23:39What I do know is this, that Mark Zuckerberg lost in the court of public
23:44opinion because he continued to say that social media had nothing to do with the
23:52accelerated levels of anxiety and depression, eating disorders, teen suicide, and this bucket of mental
24:02health issues. When the research that Meta has and whistleblowers have given that research to
24:10us, and of course it was presented in court, and you know that they know
24:15what they are doing to kids.
24:17You know that they are designing programming to capture younger kids.
24:23We all know that the valuation of Meta and Google and all of these big
24:29tech companies, it is based on the number of eyeballs they draw to the page
24:34and the amount of time they can keep those eyeballs focused on their platform.
24:43So I think he lost in the court of public opinion.
24:47It has brought forward the need to pass the Kids Online Safety Act that came
24:53out of the Senate 91 to 3.
24:55We have 75 Senate co -sponsors on it.
25:00It is significant. It would put in place a duty of care, a product by
25:06design safety standard for the virtual space.
25:10That is something at this point we do not have.
25:14Your grandkids, my sons, go to a similar school in the Nashville area that has
25:20a good technology policy, which is, and I know they probably may be cheating right
25:27now, but they're not supposed to have their phones.
25:29They're not supposed to be able to text message during school, and if they're caught
25:32with cell phones during school hours, there are consequences.
25:36Shouldn't this be the standard for every school basically in America?
25:40You're a grandma. Before that, you were a mom.
25:42As a dad, I think it's a no -brainer, and I think it's super bipartisan.
25:47Are you in favor of this?
25:48More and more schools not allowing kids to be on phones during the day?
25:54Oh, yes, indeed. Bell to bell, no sell.
25:58That is a very good policy for kids.
26:02And, you know, there's a growing body of research that shows that children who do
26:08not have a cell phone on their desk, in their backpack, within reach, their test
26:15scores go up, their achievement goes up, their participation in class increases.
26:22And the more you see this research, the more you know that it does matter.
26:28And you realize what a massive distraction it is to have that cell phone at
26:34the ready. I think one of the things that is so interesting about this also
26:38is talking to parents, teachers, and principals.
26:42Most of the behavioral issues that take place on school campuses find their nexus at
26:52the cell phone. And the bullying is 24 -7.
26:56It never stops. So putting those phones away for that period of the academic day
27:03forces kids to focus on what they are studying.
27:07It means that kids that go to study hall are actually doing research work.
27:14They're writing papers. They're pulling books out of the library shelves and hearing from librarians
27:21about the change in behavior during those study halls is something that has not been
27:27lost on me. Speaking to Senator Marsha Blackburn of Tennessee, when you talk about, I
27:33just want to bring us back to this for a second, the social media issues
27:37for kids and online duty of care.
27:40Are the social media companies, are they just saying that that's impossible, it's too expensive,
27:45it's not necessary? I mean, what's the counterargument?
27:49Because usually when it comes to any political issue about children, everyone at least pretends
27:54that they care about the kids, right?
27:56I mean, even the big companies pretend.
27:58So what are they saying in response to this?
28:01Why would they, you know, will they go along with it?
28:05I mean, why does it even require an act by Congress?
28:10They have proven they cannot police themselves.
28:13They have also proven that when kids are on those phones, kids are the product.
28:17And, you know, one of the interesting things is that every industrial sector in this
28:23country has product safety standards.
28:26Whether it's an automobile, a toaster, a mattress, a curling iron, everything has a safety
28:34standard. Everything except the virtual space.
28:39And the reason for that, big tech has spent millions of dollars lobbying.
28:46Last year, fourth quarter of the year, in order to take down the Kids Online
28:51Safety Act, META hired one lobbyist for every six members of Congress and spent $20
29:00million. I'm somebody that knows what it feels like to have big tech come barreling
29:08after them with lots of lobbyist lawyers and millions of dollars because they do not
29:16want to change their business model.
29:18They would have to change that business model if you put in place a safety
29:25by design standard, if you de -link the algorithm so that the algorithm can be
29:33controlled by the parents and the kids and not controlled by the platform.
29:41They don't want that. Senator Blackburn, last night I was at an in -the -black,
29:49is what it's called, event about trying to balance a budget.
29:52A bunch of people you know were there.
29:54It was awesome. I know you're running for governor.
29:58But the federal government's inability to remotely make decisions that have to do, let's use
30:08as an example right now, basic election integrity.
30:11You're going to be on the ballot in November.
30:13Tennessee, thankfully, has really great election integrity.
30:16But the fact that white, black, Asian, Hispanic people overwhelmingly believe that you should have
30:21to show a photo ID in order to vote to prove you're who you are,
30:26what's going to happen with that in the Senate?
30:28I think there might be a filibuster.
30:30How's that process going to play out?
30:32I still can't believe this is unpassable, basically, based on the Democrat response.
30:38You know, it's an 80 percent issue with the American people across all different demographic
30:46groups. And that's the thing that is so interesting, the fact that it has such
30:51broad bipartisan support. I mean, Zoran Mandami wants you to show two forms of ID
30:57in order to go shovel snow in New York.
31:01But he doesn't want you to show an ID to vote.
31:05What they're trying to do is make it easy to cheat and hard to vote.
31:10We want to make it easy to vote and hard to cheat.
31:14And we have got to have photo ID in the Senate.
31:19We are going to push the Save America Act forward.
31:22I look forward to having a vote on the floor.
31:25It should be common sense, standard practice, that you have to be a citizen of
31:33the United States in order to vote in our elections.
31:36And you have to show an ID and prove who you are.
31:41When it comes to the issue of the balanced budget, I have supported a balanced
31:48budget amendment for the United States.
31:51We have that in Tennessee.
31:53We have to balance our budget.
31:56We can't borrow money or print money.
31:58We have to be very careful about that and be a good fiscal steward.
32:03It means that some years, the leaner years, you cannot do some projects you want
32:09to do. And then it means when you do have years where you have a
32:13surplus, you have to be wise about where you place those dollars.
32:17The federal government should do likewise, and they would be well served to do likewise.
32:26Senator Blackburn, appreciate you being with us.
32:29You got it. Take care.
32:32There's a specific reason why the price of gold grew by 65 % last year,
32:36economic uncertainty. When there's turmoil, when there's uncertainty, the value of gold goes up.
32:43Investors looking for safe havens is, well, that makes a lot of sense, right?
32:48Safe havens. Gold is just one of those, a solid, reliable investment.
32:52Over the last 20 years, gold's up over 700 % in value.
32:56Think about that, over 20 years, up 700%.
32:59And you don't have to trade in, trade out, play all kinds of games.
33:02No, no, you just buy gold and hold gold, and that value creation happened.
33:07Birch Gold Group can help you purchase gold.
33:09That's who I rely on.
33:10That's who I get my gold from.
33:11They help you diversify your savings with gold, particularly within your existing 401k and IRA
33:16accounts. Birch Gold Group walks you through the process of buying gold in clear, straightforward
33:21terms. When I work with them, it couldn't be any easier.
33:25No pressure, no complexity. They educate you, and they give you options.
33:29If protecting a portion of retirement savings makes sense to you, it's worth a conversation.
33:34Remember, you can also put gold into your existing 401k or IRA accounts by doing
33:41a transfer. They can diversify your accounts with gold.

34:13I just stole your thunder there for a second, buddy, because there's something very important
34:16that everyone needs to hear.
34:17You know, it's one thing when I talk smack, you know?
34:20You know, you may be a son of a gun, but you're our son of
34:23a gun, Clay. You know what I mean?
34:24Like, no one else is allowed to talk this kind of smack.
34:28But here I am, preparing to watch the State of the Union, and flashing across
34:33my screen over at Fox News, a gentleman who I have done his show many
34:38times. I have seen him out in the wild.
34:40I've bumped into Jesse Waters before, and he's quite a charming fellow.
34:45And I thought somebody that was playing by civilized rules.
34:49But then, all of a sudden, out of nowhere, I mean, just like a kidney
34:54shot, a rabbit punch, on my man Clay Travis when he's not looking on his
34:59TV show. This is Cut 36, Jesse Waters.
35:02Listen. I don't know that I've ever been, frankly, prouder to be an American than
35:06when we kicked Canada's ass and seeing America, to a large extent, united around this
35:14team like we were. I was too young to remember it back in 1980.
35:18Oh, you were? I thought you were like 40 in 1980.
35:21You look good there, Clay.
35:24Clay! Jesse Waters, you must listen to the show.
35:28You must listen to the show, because, whoa, where did that come from?
35:31Thought you were 40 in the 80s?
35:33Rough. That would make me 86.
35:35Korean War veteran. And aging quite well.
35:40I think, partly, people don't realize how much makeup most people wear on television.
35:47I, for every, unless I am in studio, I am never in makeup for Fox
35:54News, and if you see how much makeup a lot of TV people will wear,
35:59and I'm not throwing shade here, you have an exaggerated sense.
36:03You have an exaggerated sense of what television life is like.
36:09Now, I'm not saying I haven't thought about this.
36:11He might be saying some of the Fox hosts, gentlemen, are a little tarted up,
36:14a little too much rouge going on on the cheeks.
36:18I've been saying for some time that about the age of 55, I'm suddenly going
36:24to have a huge makeup team come in here every day, and they're going to
36:28treat me like a car that needs brand new wheels in pit row, and none
36:34of you are going to recognize it or know it happened, and you're going to
36:37be like, Clay, you haven't aged today, you look the exact same as you did
36:4220 years ago, I'm playing the long game, I look old and ugly now, but
36:4610 years from now, I'm going to be gorgeous, I'm just telling you, it's coming,
36:52prepare yourselves for an outstanding looking Clay.
