Thanks to Hyundai, we got to take a post show drive in the Ionic five. We had snacks, laughs and we even recorded a special episode featuring some unforgettable car themed stories Take a listen. I'm going to tell you a story today, Karen. It's about a pivotal role that cars played in none other than the Montgomery Bus Boycott. Okay, well, yes, it's right there in the title. Right. This episode is brought to you by the 2025 Hyundai Ioniq 5. Welcome in our number three final hour of the week Play Travis Buck Sexton show. Buck will be back on Monday from Europe. He has spent the week on the French Riviera, meeting with advertisers in Cannes. Looking forward to to be back together again on Monday. A lot of different stories out there. Let me update you on the latest reports that talks in Europe with Iran have failed. Iran is really kind of playing this in an interesting way. At any point, all of their leadership could be wiped out only by the grace of God. And basically Israeli fighter plans. Are they still alive at all. Yet they appear to be refusing to negotiate. I don't know what the historical analogy for this would be. Uh, but, but Iran failing to reach any sort of agreement in Europe. And here's the bigger picture issue that I've been talking about quite some time. You can never trust this Iranian leadership. They want nuclear weapons. It makes imminent logical sense for them to have nuclear weapons because it would preserve their political power forever, potentially much like has happened with North Korea. So anything they tell you is likely to be a lie and you cannot negotiate with them in good faith at all. So that is the latest on Iran and Israel. As I mentioned yesterday, Trump said he will decide in the next two weeks whether or not to go in with the big bunker buster bomb, among other things. And I do think probably the worst job in the world to have right now is working in that Fordo nuclear mountain site. Your job may not be great. You might be listening to me right now, hunched over in your cubicle, pretending to be working on your TPS reports, But odds are you're not also thinking, hey, at any moment a bomb might wipe out my entire business. I get it. It's Friday afternoon in many parts of the country, you're probably ready for the weekend to be here. You may hate your job, but I'm here to tell you the guys working in the Iranian nuclear mountain factory, they got a job than you. They're just showing up at any moment they might get blown up. That seems like not an ideal job to have. Maybe the worst in the world right now. The ninth Circuit, this was. I haven't spent much time on this because there are so many district court judges, 600 some odd of them and they're about half of them hate Trump and they're constantly coming out with anti Trump rulings. The latest that happened was a district federal district court judge in California said Trump couldn't call out the National Guard. Evidently, that judge has no idea what actually the Supremacy clause means, which is the National Guard is controlled by the national leader, aka Trump. And now the 9th Circuit, including, I believe it's an Obama appointee as well, has ruled three oh. That Trump controls the National Guard and is able to deploy them in Los Angeles. This is not a very complicated legal issue. Some legal issues are very complicated. Evidently, Gavin Newsom is going to continue to appeal that there is also. So Trump is going to win that one. I will tell you. Anyone with a functional brain who has basic knowledge of the law will tell you so. Gavin Newsom, exulting because one random district court judge said that he controlled the California National Guard, not Trump, was laughably absurd. And I think it's been exposed to be such a judge has also ordered. Again, these district court judges have emerged as the. As the peak of the Trump 2.0 opposition, the peak of the spear, as it were. Uh, and a federal judge in New Jersey has ordered that Mahmoud Khalil, three months after the former Columbia student was detained, should be released. Um, so anyway, that will be appealed. Federal district court judges, about half of them hate Trump and they will try to enter in place nationwide injunctions or rulings that will apply nationwide that are. That are of a substantial nature. So that is where we are with the current breaking news stories of the day. Now, I wanted to hit you with a couple of other things that are out there. We've been talking about Obama being usurped by Trump as by far the most consequential figure that is out there. Uh, I also told you it is the 50th anniversary of the release of the movie Jaws. It initially came out in 1975. We've been having some fun with this. Many of you guys want to react to the impact of Jaws in your life. I'm arguing it's the most influential movie of all time. The not because it is the best movie of all time, but just because it impacts people's thoughts and decisions in life more than any movie that has been released, I think, of all time. So we'll have some fun with that here in the third hour. As it is the 50th anniversary. You guys can tee off on me or you can agree, a lot of different people, but I did want to play this cut for You. Because I think it's emblematic of the failure of Democrats to really understand the world in which we are living right now. Um, Maxwell Frost, who is a congressman from Florida, right, The Orlando area, I believe, team, look that up and make sure that I'm right. Says, hey, he's got a big fear. The United States is at risk of turning into Florida. This is cut 33. Listen, you know, this. This fight against far right neo fascism, for me at least, was mainly taking stage in my home in Florida, fighting against Ron DeSantis and the extremism there. And something I always told people is that Project 2025 is actually Florida 2022, Florida 2020. And the stuff that's going on around the country right now, we've actually been dealing with in the south for a long time, especially in my state of Florida. So the difference is, it's like the struggle in my state has kind of been just spread throughout the nation. And honestly, that day after Election Day, I had a hard time getting up. Okay? So I think this is. This is really very interesting, honestly, because ultimately the debate that I believe we're going to have is going to move beyond Trump. Now, it doesn't mean that, again, by the midterms, 2027, the 2028 election cycle is going to be underway. And I don't think this is a bad way of distilling what that argument is going to be. And I think the problem Democrats have is they're on the wrong side of a really bad argument. If you had to say, hey, which two states right now are the avatar of Republican and Democrat belief systems writ large? Which individual state represents red state America? Which individual state represents blue state America? I think that Florida under Governor Ron DeSantis would be the avatar for red state America. Now, you could argue Texas, you could argue Tennessee. I would argue that those three are probably the trio, the triangle of, hey, this is what red state America represents. And I would actually argue that Florida probably is the best. Now, why would I say that? No state income tax in Florida, no state income tax in Tennessee, no state income tax in Texas. So incredibly low tax states, very dynamic economies, rapidly growing populations, all Republican governors with some Democrat cities in there, but overwhelmingly having become more red since 2020. Now, a lot of you live in different states. You might argue with me, I think I'm right in saying that if I had to pick a trifecta of states that represents what red state governance can be, Florida, Tennessee and Texas would be the trio, and Florida would be the avatar. If you had to pick one state of, hey, this is what big red state policies can do writ large. Okay, what about the blue states? I think California would probably have to be the avatar for what blue state policies lead to. And Gavin Newsom would be the mirror image, right. The opposite side of what's going on in red state Florida with Ron DeSantis. And you could say, hey, if you had to pick three states, I mean, look, there are many blue states that I think have been driven insane. You could add Oregon and Washington, but then that's just a Pacific coast universe. So I think you would probably want to say California, Illinois, and New York would be the blue state avatars. Three big states that Democrats control basically top to bottom. The problem that Democrats have is they think Americans still want to look like what is going on in California. And I think overwhelmingly Americans want to look like what's going on in Tennessee, Texas, and Florida. I think the representative argument here is not a good one. And Maxwell Frost is actually making it directly there. That Congressman, hey, look out. America might end up like Florida, but I think a lot of Americans are like, yeah, that sounds pretty good. And Gavin Newsom is still out there arguing, hey, America needs to look like California. I think the problem for Gavin Newsom is most Americans don't agree. Now, blue state America may, but the seven swing states, the people that are out there in the middle, open to being persuaded, they're making that argument directly. The problem is they're making the argument in the wrong direction. Look out, America's gonna look like Florida. I'm like, hey, sign me up. I think most of you are too. Hey, if we're not careful, America's gonna look more like Texas. That sounds pretty awesome to me. Hey, hey, listen, Democrats, if we're not careful, the whole nation's gonna look like Tennessee. I'm like, I live here. That sounds amazing. And I don't think there's anybody in the persuadable universe that's like, hey, we're gonna make America more like California. I think most Americans are like, nah, we're not signing up for that. Hey, we're gonna make America more like Chicago. Yeah, I'd rather stay alive. Hey, we're gonna make America more like New York City. Hey, I'd rather not have a moron governor. And I'd actually prefer not for you to take half of every dollar that I make. No, I'm good here. Buck has actually made that decision with his own life. Born and raised New York City guy. He's like, I can't do this anymore. I'm going to move to Florida. Make America Florida. Pretty good tagline. Make America Tennessee. I like it. Make America Texas. I like it. Make America California. I'm off the boat. Think that's the problem Democrats have. They're making an argument they think sells. And in actuality, their argument was that that dog ain't hunting. America's out on that argument. And I think this is going to ultimately be in the wake of 2020, with so many people moving, we know population numbers. If California, Illinois and New York were doing so fabulously well, everybody would be moving there. This is also, by the way, why I think abortion politics doesn't work anymore. If people were really troubled about abortion policy, they wouldn't be flooding all the red states. Like if you're a 25 year old, 25 year old girl, they're like, oh, I can't believe they're gonna put me in handcuffs and like arrest me if I get pregnant. But oh, I'm gonna move to Nashville. I want to go out on Broadway. Oh my God, Florida's gonna put me in handcuffs if I get pregnant. But south beach is awesome. I'm moving there. Like young girls are moving overwhelmingly to run red states. Abortion politics is over. I'm arguing it in the new book. Just look at what people do, not what they say. It's a good life lesson across the board. Look, I want to tell you, we love what life's like for me here in Tennessee, for Buck in Florida, for so many of you in Texas. Red state America is making the right decisions. But you know, a place that's trying to make sure that they can make the right decisions for everybody in their country and they're under peril right now. The IFCJ is doing work for everybody in Israel right now probably as we speak. There is the danger of having to run immediately to bomb shelters. Nobody's been able to sleep for the last week very comfortably in Israel because you're constantly moving in and out of bomb shelters based on what Iran's doing. I have seen for myself. I was over in Israel, I did the radio show from there for the IFCJ and saw the tremendous work that they have done. Bomb shelters, food for people in need, being able to provide for emergency responders, safer vehicles to be able to travel with. They do the Lord's work with ifcj International Fellowship of Christians and Jews. And right now you can make a tremendous difference by going to ifcj.org it is tremendous work that they are doing. If you have extra money you can join Buck and me and being a donor and doing so much amazing work for the IFCJ as Israel is in its ultimate time of need as they are in war with Iran continuing to follow in the aftermath of October 7th, they do such amazing work. You can go to IFCJ.org or you can call 888-488-IFCJ. They can use your help immensely right now. In a time of war, in a land praying for peace. 888488 IFCJ. That's IFCJ.org sometimes all you can do is laugh and they do a lot of it with the Sunday hang.

Travis Buck Sexton SHOW all right, unless there's crazy news that breaks in the next half hour, let's have some fun. Tomorrow is going to be officially tomorrow. The 21st, right is the official first day of summer. And 50 years ago, as summer began, Jaws was released. And Greg, will you update me on the caller situation? I'M looking right now at the massive number of talkbacks we have. And I argued, maybe provocatively, but I think accurately should be on my tombstone. I think that Jaw is the most. Is the most influential movie of all time. Jim in the Twin Cities disagrees. He's got an argument on the other side. Here is Jim. Appreciate you listening. HH hey, Clay. Yeah, I see what you're saying about Jaws, but I think Rocky, the whole entire series of Rocky might be 1B, draws as 1A. Rocky might be 1B because it influenced everyone to work out. Even if you don't feel like working out, you hear those Rocky horns, you're going to start working out. Very influential. That's. It's a good one. I mean, I will say, when you hear that Rocky music in the background, it definitely can help you do another kick. My college roommate, I had dinner. I have dinner with two of my college roommates. We lived together for two years in D.C. one of them lives. He's a doctor in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The other one lives in Philly, works in athletics. And my college roommate, we used to jog all the time thinking about Rocky. My college roommate was like, hey, we were out, we had dinner, we had some drinks. He's like, I'm gonna pick you up. We're gonna go for a jog now. Mind you, I think running is the most miserable way to get exercise. Not talking about running, playing a sport. I'm just talking about, hey, let's go out and just go run. I hate it. Everybody talked about how you're gonna feel amazing if you go run and everything else. And my wife was like, hey, let's train. Do a half marathon. It's like a decade ago, more than a decade ago now. So we start training. She discovers that she is pregnant, conveniently with our second son, drops out. This is the Nashville Big Marathon. Everybody travels for it. I was like, I'll do the half marathon. So I went ahead and trained it for myself. Ran the. Whatever it is, 13.1 miles. It was like 194 degrees, of course, on that day. And everybody's like, oh, when you cross that finish line, you're going to feel transformed. You're going to be so proud of yourself. There's a picture. They snap it when you cross the finish line. I look thoroughly disgusted because I was like, this is the biggest waste of time ever. And here's the deal. Oprah is fat and unathletic. She ran an actual marathon. I don't have any doubt that if I wanted to run A marathon. I'm less fat and more athletic than Oprah. If Oprah could do it, I know I could do it. I don't have that need to accomplish running. And so anyway, he got me to come run. I was like, this is miserable. I tapped out 1.25 miles in. I was like, I'm not. It's the first time I've run since. In a decade. He was like, oh, we used to run all the time in college. That was just to look at pretty girls. I've been married. There's no point in running anymore. Anymore. Look, I want to tell you, ifcj, we used to have a run through campus speed. Everybody knows about it. That you can get hooked up right now with good ranchers. I'm going to come back and talk more about good ranchers because I got caught up in my story about jogging. But let me just tell you this good rancher is amazing. I love Ben. I love Corley. They have built a phenomenal company. And you get $40 off right now if you go to goodranchers.com code clay40OFF. Trust me, go to that website right now. Code clay for $40 off. I'll tell you more about it and why I hate jogging. We come back. Welcome back in Clay. Travis Buck Sexton show. Okay. So many different. So many different feedback options rolling in. But I do want to tell you, go to good ranchers. I love these guys. I was up in the Indy 500 with Ben and Corley. They founded a business. They got four kids. They founded a business where they just wanted to give organic product meat. Salmon, chicken, beef, whatever it is. All American grown, all American raised. It is a phenomenal business they have built. You should be buying your meat from them. They love this show. They are fantastic. We feed our family, no organic preservatives. All that junk is out. They're founding a company designed to feed their kids. They got four young ones. I'm telling you, you'd love them. Goodranchers.com use my name Clay. You get 40 bucks off. And I was talking about the fact that, you know, I hate to jog. And my roommate, he knocked on the door. That's good ranchers.com code clay 40 bucks off. Go out for a run. We're running, you know, through the streets of Georgetown as places to run could be. That is a decent place in the Georgetown area of D.C. and after about a mile, I was like, this is why I hated running. I think it's the worst way to exercise on the planet. And I know the runners are going to be mad at me. Oh, you know what? Second to biking? I don't even get me started on biking. Where I live, I can't even drive on the roads now because, like, we don't have bike lanes. And I just come around the corner and there's like 742 guys in a row on bikes just out for a bike ride. But jogging, like, it's, it's a miserable way to get a. It's a miserable way to get exercise. And I don't even, like, maybe some of you have something in your body where you're like, oh, you're going to get a runner. So I don't get a runner's high. I get runners bored. I also don't have any sense of accomplishment when I finish a run. Maybe, I don't know. Again, Oprah is fat and unathletic and she ran a marathon. Any one of you could run a marathon if you committed 4638 hours to Marathon training. It's not a revolutionary thing. You just have to do the same thing a lot for many hours in a row. And I don't. This is probably not going to shock you. I don't have a lot of self doubt, so I don't need to do things to prove that I can do things. I presume that I can do everything. And so for the most part, I don't need to prove to myself that I can do it. Does that make sense? Like, I, I feel like runners have really low self esteem and it's like, oh, I, I don't know if I can make that next mile. No, you can. It's just really boring. So anyway, runners, I'm sure I'm gonna get flooded in reaction to that, but that is the truth. Um, okay. We got so many people weighing in on my argument that Jaws is the most influential. It's the 50th anniversary. Greg, what is the best order to go to for these talkbacks? Let's see. Louie from Galveston. You know, Galveston, I'm really going to make some enemies now. Texas should have better beaches than it does. I'm just saying, if you were designing Texas, the one thing that Texas doesn't have great beaches. I know, because every one of you Texans, you come to Alabama or Florida, to the Gulf coast, or ask Senator Cruz, you hop on a plane and you go to Cancun, the one thing. And Senator Cruz, a friend, the one. And he would think that's funny. I think the one thing that you don't have is Great beaches. But Louie or Lewis is listening in Galveston and he says Jaws kept him out of the water. Yeah, well, in Galveston, of course, because the beach is not great. But here is Jay, J.J. hey, Clay and Buck. This is Lewis from Houston, Texas. And I just want to say that Jaws scared me so bad when I was a kid that I couldn't go into the water ankle deep in Galveston Bay for years until I realized that it wasn't really a threat. Then I seen Psycho and it also scared me to death to even where I had to take baths when I went to my grandma's house. And also Freddy from even being able to sleep in a dark room. Y' all do great. Love you guys. Keep it up. I love all these movies. The Nightmare on Elm street movies. Everybody has got a movie that they saw when they shouldn't have seen it. You were nine and you had a 13 year old older brother. You were seven and your 12 year old sister put on a movie. Nightmare on Elm Street. I don't think they make the same kind of scary movies like they did the Nightmare on Elm Street. I know they make a ton of them and they make a lot of money, but the concept of you're going to get killed when you go to sleep for Nightmare on Elm street, look, Michael Myers, Jason, they're scary. But the idea of, hey, when you go to sleep, you're going to get killed and it's going to be in real life is so diabolical. I'm surprised they haven't brought back those Nightmare on Elm street movies. They were terrifying to me because again, when are you most scared as a kid in bed and you're like, well, if I just fall asleep, I'll. But no, Freddy's gonna kill you if you fall asleep. You know, I saw a story recently, I was reading it, I was like, I, I don't know how this kid's ever gonna sleep for the rest of his life. Did you guys see this story? Kid said there's somebody underneath my bed. I mean, I get in chills even talking about this. Kid said there's somebody underneath my bed. Babysitter was like, oh, okay, you're gonna be fine. I'll look underneath and I'll be damned if there wasn't a crazy person underneath that kid's bed. Well, one of you look up where this happened. I don't know how that kid's ever gonna sleep for the rest of his life. Can you imagine? Hey, there's somebody under my bed. You're the babysitter. You're like, oh, it's gonna be fine. And you look underneath, and somebody's. I think I would die. I'm a grown man. I got three kids. I think if one of my kids had been like, daddy, there's somebody underneath my bed. And I've been like, no, you're going to be fine. And then you're like, you're tired. You're trying to get them to sleep. Like, you roll over and you look underneath, and there's somebody underneath the bed. I think I would have had a heart. I don't think I could have saved my kids. I think I would have just had a heart attack right there. I'd have been so scared. Daddy, there's somebody underneath my bed. There's. I mean, there's somebody actually there. That doesn't even seem like it should be fair. That doesn't even seem like it should be allowed. You should never be able to get underneath a kid's bed and actually be there. Even if you're a bad. Even if you're a killer. Like, at least be a man and come at me without being underneath the bed first. Unfair. Lynn and Harrisburg, what you got for me? So, apparently the most influential film is not influential enough. I'm 29. I've never seen Jaws. I would say Raiders of the Lost Ark or A New Hope. Star wars is a lot more influential. Both of which I've watched. Love you guys. Otherwise, see ya. I don't know how Lynn has managed to be 29 years old and never have seen Jaws. It's going to be on NBC tonight. They should have paid me to promote that. It's free. NBC is a show that you can watch with an antenna. It is not streaming. It is not. There's. I feel like I have to explain this now, because I was talking to that guy's daughter, and she was like, now, how does the radio work? So when you say radio, what I mean the thing that's in your car on the dash? Like, I talk out of that. When you push the button and it comes on, that's how a lot of people hear me. But from my phone. How would I hear you on my phone? That was my conversation a couple days ago. And I hope she's managed to figure out how the radio works. Uh, but look, I like Star Wars. I love Raiders of the Lost Ark. The best Raiders of the Lost Ark movie is the Last Crusade with Sean Connery and Indiana Jones. Phenomenal film. But I don't think it's anywhere near as influential. Like, I don't I went to Israel, I wasn't expecting to find the Ark of the Covenant, right? Like I wasn't like, well, this isn't really old church. Let me go in there. Maybe the Ark of the Covenant's going to be there. But if I had gone into the ocean in Israel, I would have thought Jaws might kill me. It's very different, right? If I went to tour the pyramids, I wouldn't think to myself, well, maybe this is the where the ark is stored. But I would think if I got to an Egyptian beach, I would be worried about the crocodiles in the Nile, but I would also be worried about sharks there. So I think, I think if Lynn from Harrisburg watched, he would actually agree with me and realize that he was wrong. And millions of people just heard his wrongness. Art from Cleveland, what you got for me? This is art from Cleveland. I think the most influential movie may be China Syndrome. It scared the world away from, from nuclear power. I don't think that's wrong. Didn't Three Mile island have some sort of nuclear scare back in the day? We should be using nuclear power way more than we are. It's actually way safer. And we haven't because people just bought into cat catastrophe. This is my thing with self driving cars and I think Elon Musk gets this. I took the Waymo out in San Francisco. I told you guys I felt like I was in the future. The problem with self driving cars is whenever a self driving car makes an error, everybody is going to talk about it. It is going to be everywhere. That video of the self driving car doing something wrong. Your wife hitting 48 vehicles, trying to go to the grocery store. Not gonna go viral. My wife, big suv. If you see her on the street, I would suggest just pull over like there's a funeral coming by. I'm not sure she's going to stay on her side of the road. She's not very good. Car's too big for a lot of women. Big cars, can't handle them. Rob in Palm beach, what you got? I'm from South Florida. My dad was a marine taxidermist for a company called Pfluger, which is out of business. But he was responsible for making the original Jaws head. It was pretty cool to see as a kid. Very terrifying. I mean this is maybe the greatest talk back ever. Rob's just like, yeah, you know the movie Jaws? Super powerful, super impactful. My dad made the head. Just picks up his phone, drops in a. That's amazing. See if we can get Rob from Palm Beach On. I think that would be a fun story. Dave in Cincinnati, what you got for us? Hey, Clay. This is Dave in Cincinnati. I used to be a history teacher and I would show Quint's Soliloquy on the USS Indianapolis. And knowing most of the kids had never seen Jaws. I'd started at the scene where the shark shows up for the first time. And there is nothing better than hearing 30 desks just all squeak flying backwards at the sign of the shark. And I knew they were hooked for my lesson of the day. That's really great. All right, let me hit one more here and then we'll go to break and then we will play a couple of cuts from Jaws and take a couple more of your calls. But this is a Friday edition 50 year anniversary. You guys are fantastic. I love these talk back functions super fast. You give me 30 seconds. Give me your best 30 seconds. Got a joke there about marriage. MJ from Carlsbad, what you got for me? I'm 67 years old, been a lifelong surfer. I never saw Jaws. Never. For that reason, I wanted to remain in the water my whole life. And I've been chased out of the water by a shark on Kauai. So, yeah, I, I know a little bit about sharks. So, yeah, never saw it, never will. I don't blame him for never see. I haven't shown it to my kids. They may have seen Jaws, but because we go to the beach quite regularly and they are afraid of sharks because it is kind of embedded in the culture. But I was like, I talked about this with my wife. So we can never show them Jaws, especially not when they're young. They will never get in the water. I was afraid to swim in a swimming pool at night after I saw Jaws. A swimming pool at night, Couldn't see the bottom. I was like, it's not for me. And some of y' all are like, yeah, I didn't get in the lake. You got kids right now. They're gonna see Jaws tonight on NBC. You're gonna be like, you're done for. Don't even try to get them in the water. That is not happening. After they see that movie. I think it's still going to be super impactful. Even with the crazy fake Jaws head that our boy just called in and said that his dad made. That's pretty amazing. All right, we're going to close up the week next when, look, stock market is moving all the time. I just said, I've got some money coming in. And I said, you know what?

Hey, it's Karen and Georgia from My favorite Murder. Thanks to Hyundai, we got to take a post show drive in the Ionic five. We had snacks, laughs, and we even recorded a special episode featuring some unforgettable car themed stories. Take a listen. The Montgomery Bus Boycott Success was dependent on the action and dedication of many individuals, of course. But today we're going to focus on the work of one of those people in particular. A woman in her 30s. And yes, I love her name. It's Georgia Gilmore. Oh yes. Today's story is centered on a group of courageous women dedicated on taking down Hitler during World War II. They banded together to form an all female ambulance corps, which became the first unit of its kind to join an official combat division on the Western front. This is the story of the Rochambeau Group, best known by their nickname, the Rochambells. Oh my God. Right. This episode is brought to you by the 2025 Hyundai Ioniq 5. Welcome back in clay Travis Buck Sexton show. I appreciate all of you hanging out with us as we are rolling through the program. By the way, you're sitting around right now and you're like, you know what, I didn't get enough of this week. Clay, I know you talked to us for 15 hours, but I just, I cannot get enough of you. Well, you're in luck. I will be on Martha McCollum's show on Fox News. Literally, as soon as I finish this program, I'm going to step over to my television studio, flip on the lights, and I will be sitting there and inevitably some of you will decide that I am not dressed appropriately and immediately react to what I am wearing. But I'm telling you that I look fabulous and I will soon be on your television screens. I think they got me on with James Carville, so there could be some fireworks there. But I'll be on FOX News in about what, 10 minutes at the top of the next hour if you are interested. And by the way, I think Sean Hannity's out, but I'm on Sean Hannity show, FOX News television show on a little bit later as well. I know many of you will be listening and do listen to Sean Hannity every Thursday, single day. All right, how much stuff do we have out there that I need to hit? How many of these are left? Do we have callers? Mike in North Carolina, you still there? What you got for us? Hello? Yeah, I'll put it this way. I'm 50. I'm 58 years old. I saw Jaws on the big screen when I was 8 or 9. To this day, I will not swim in the ocean where I can't touch the sand. Yeah. Also like you, I have to remind myself when I'm swimming in lakes that there are no sharks in fresh water. And there are times when I swim at night in pools, I get blast backs. It charged me for life. Thank you. It's the most impactful movie that has ever been made in the history of film. Jaws, 50th anniversary today, Frank in Glendora, California. What you got for me? Yeah, yeah, listen, I, I disagree with you. When, when, when Saving Private Ryan came out. I don't, I don't know if you remember, but when sa came out entire, my father's generation was traumatized by the first 15 minutes of that great Steven Spielberg film. And, and, and that's reality, not fiction. My opinion that that trumps jobs. Well, look, Saving Private Ryan. Kind of a good movie too, right? But Schindler's List, also a really good movie by Spielberg. Also historic. But I knew already that the guys who walked on the beaches of Normandy and were getting shut up, shot at by Nazis, that was probably pretty scary. So it was an amazing, evocative evocation of that, as was Schindler's List, an amazingly powerful evocation of exactly how awful the Holocaust was. But I already knew both of those things. I really didn't think about sharks eating me until I watched Jaws, which is why I believe it was the most impactful. Not a better film. Schindler's List and Saving Private Ryan. Far better films. More impactful film, Jaws. And if you don't believe me, you're going to be thinking about it when you hop in the pool. You know what's great about your investment account with the big guys?
