Biden Shot Down a Hobby Club’s Ham Radio Balloon?

17 Feb 2023

You can’t make this up. Joe Biden is so anxious to reverse the storyline that he was incompetant in letting the Chinese spy balloon traverse all the sensitive areas in the country it wanted before bringing it down that now he’s shooting at anything that floats.

Biden shot down some kids’ science project with a $400k sidewinder missile! Btw Biden admitted in his speech today, while not acknowledging this situation directly, that the balloons they shot down were likely just being used for “research or recreation” https://t.co/84yZbFZ924

please tell me the white house did not spend the month of february scrambling jets to fire $400,000 missiles at the local hobby club’s TWELVE DOLLAR BALLOON

The Pentagon spokesman was asked if they shot down a $12 homemade balloon and he skirted the question.

A reporter asks about reports that one of the balloons shot down may have been from a hobby club.

John Kirby says he cannot confirm where the balloon is from and “we all have to accept the possibility that we may not be able to recover it” pic.twitter.com/bliSzhy6AM

The people in East Palestine, Ohio aren’t getting answers from the Biden administration. Ohio Senator JD Vance — who joined us recently — went to East Palestine and what he found is unsettling.

Sports Journos Triggered by What Tiger Woods Handed Justin Thomas

17 Feb 2023

The championship golfer, Tiger Woods, may be an all-time great, but he’s now a target for leftists in sports journalism. They were just looking for him to slip up — or to slip someone something — and they pounced.

Proving the woke sports media has no sense of humor at all, Tiger Woods is being attacked for giving Justin Thomas a tampon after outdriving him on 9. For the record, this is fucking hysterical by Tiger, well played. Makes me like him way more: https://t.co/FmStuPh089

Big Win Over Woke: NBA Plays All-Star Game in Utah Despite Transgender Sports Law

17 Feb 2023

Clay pointed out the utter silence from the NBA on Utah’s transgender law. Rather than pull the All-Star Game out of the state as they did over North Carolina’s bathroom bill, the league is staying put, a clear admission that they were wrong.

Utah governor says NBA wants to get out of ‘culture war issues,’ but advocacy for transgender rights continueshttps://t.co/PuIxDIjyNi

— Salt Lake Tribune Sports (@sltribsports) February 17, 2023

Remember this kerfuffle?

You think NBA players cared about a state of North Carolina bill involving transgender public bathroom use & don’t care about millions of people in China being put in concentration camps?

— Clay Travis (@ClayTravis) October 10, 2019

Chinese court rules homosexuality is a mental disorder. Since the NBA moved their All Star Game over a transgender bathroom bill in North Carolina, the league’s players, owners & commissioner will all be blasting Chinese intolerance, right? https://t.co/ZFIn0EtaBH

Sen. Hawley: Ban Kids Younger Than 16 from Social Media

16 Feb 2023

CLAY: We are joined now by Senator Josh Hawley of Missouri, fresh off having his speech stormed by a climate activist. Did you feel like you were Patrick Mahomes in the pocket, someone coming on your blindside?

SEN. HAWLEY: (laughing) I felt like I was meeting with Joe Biden’s next energy secretary, some climate wacko was shouting about how “China is not our enemy. The climate crisis is our enemy,” like, oh, I’ve heard those talking points before.

Joe Biden’s next energy secretary https://t.co/o6g2RcrqO3

— Josh Hawley (@HawleyMO) February 16, 2023

CLAY: So, this spy balloon thing. You tweeted out the other day in response to the CBS story about, hey, we’ve been tracking this since Monday. What I thought was so interesting — or sorry, not since Monday, for like a week before it arrived in Alaska — that you think maybe the national security apparatus knew about this spy balloon and they didn’t tell Joe Biden, which would raise a lot of alarming questions. What makes you think so?

SEN. HAWLEY: Well, because we know from news reports now that they tracked — that the intelligence community tracked — the spy balloon from the time it took off in China. So they knew about it. And we also know from news reports that Biden wasn’t informed about it until January 30th or the 31st after it had already gone across Alaska and was on the doorstep of Montana. So, it’s… Who’s in charge here? That’s what I want to know. I mean, apparently, they don’t think enough of the president to tell him. And I’ll tell you what else we know is that the general who’s in charge of keeping the whole domestic United States safe, what he told me and what he has said publicly is that he couldn’t shoot it down because he didn’t have authorization. So, my gosh! Where’s the president? What’s he doing with his time? Was he asleep. Is he napping? I mean, is he out for ice cream? Where is he? And why didn’t they tell him? It’s crazy stuff.

CLAY: It is wild. Do you think that’s unique to Joe Biden or do you think that’s a larger national security apparatus trying to run roughshod over no matter who’s in the White House?

SEN. HAWLEY: I think it’s probably worse under Biden, because I think what this shows is that they don’t have a lot of confidence in him. But, no, I do think, Clay, that this is something that probably has gone on before, and we have seen this from some of the top brass and some of the intelligence community leaders. Of course, they think they know best and they think, “Eh, we’ll just make the decision,” and that’s dangerous. I mean, in a country like ours, it’s supposed to be run by “we the people.” It’s supposed to be run by elected officials who can be held accountable. That’s a big problem. And that’s why I say the fact that the president is out to lunch on this thing for days? Man, that’s a huge, huge security risk.

CLAY: No doubt. Now, you have got a bill. We started yesterday’s show talking about this bill. You want to ban kids from using social media until they are 16 years old. We started yesterday’s show talking about the overwhelming increase — 30% of teenage girls have said they thought about suicide, 57% of them depressed. This thing just keeps skyrocketing. What do we need to do to protect our kids from social media, and I know part of this involves TikTok as well, which is Chinese owned. How would you assess the situation?

Want to protect kids online – here’s how we can start: require kids to be 16 to open a social media account https://t.co/UtfQVIWAEL

— Josh Hawley (@HawleyMO) February 16, 2023

SEN. HAWLEY: Well, I think the situation is getting worse, and you’re a father and I’m a father of three and, you know, our kids are both young, are all young, I know, for both of us. But listen, you know, when I think about the changing technology and how hard it is to stay ahead of it… My 10-year-old, Clay, already knows more about my phone than I do. I mean, seriously. I — (crosstalk)

CLAY: Seriously, it’s the same thing here. My 12-, 8- and 15-year-olds can run circles around me when it comes to using an iPhone.

SEN. HAWLEY: Totally. So, when I hear these people say stuff like, “Well, it’s really a matter of the parents’ education,” I’m like, “Give me a break.” I’m like, “You know, I’m not the smartest guy. But, you know, listen, I mean, I am completely in the dark or nearly so when compared to my kids.” So I think setting 16 as an age threshold, you got to be 16 before the social media companies can target the kids, but the social media companies can open up accounts for the kids, and you put the verification on the companies, not the parents. And what we know from the data is the younger the kids are when they get on social media, the worse it is for them, the worse the mental health effects, especially with younger girls, actually.

But it’s boys and girls. So, let’s just shield those kids and give parents some power. The other thing we ought to do, Clay, is we ought to let parents sue the social media companies. I mean, listen, if your kid is exposed to material that is exploitative on social media, if your kid suffers major health and mental health consequences because of what the social media platforms are doing with their own design, you ought to be able to go and have your day in court. You’re a lawyer. I mean, this is the basic, fundamental right to go have your day in court. Let’s give that to parents. Right now, the social media companies are exempted and that shouldn’t be the case.

CLAY: Yeah, you know what? And I know you’re paying attention to this. The algorithms have to become, in some way, public because they are claiming, “Oh, we’re not content companies. People post their YouTube videos or their comments and we don’t choose who gets to see it.” The algorithm, 100%, Senator — as you well know — guarantees what kids see and don’t see, and they try to hide behind that. The algorithm is programed and created by an individual human. It’s not as if they’re not making choices on content on a daily basis.

Now Biden is nominating for the bench a guy who sought to strip a sexual assault victim of anonymity and drag her name through the mud – when she was 16! pic.twitter.com/99Z1Piuj2P

— Josh Hawley (@HawleyMO) February 15, 2023

SEN. HAWLEY: That is absolutely true. And these companies ought to be on the hook for their algorithms, both in terms of what they recommend to kids, what they expose kids to, and the content quote-unquote “moderation,” which is censorship. You know, we hear this a thousand times. “Oh, we didn’t censor. We didn’t. That was just the algorithm.” Oh, we know now from the Twitter Files that’s not true. These guys at these platforms — and I guarantee you it isn’t just Twitter — they are making the conscious choice to censor viewpoints. They don’t like conservative viewpoints, libertarian viewpoints. They don’t like them. On the covid vaccine, we saw it a thousand times over. They shut it down. You ought to be able to sue them for this. I’m a big believer in just get power of the people. The regulators, I don’t have a lot of faith in the regulators. So just allow the people to get into court, and if you get shadow banned or censored and the social media companies don’t follow their terms of service, allow people to sue ‘em.

CLAY: How many Super Bowls does Patrick Mahomes win — last question for you — and how long are you going to gloat about a second Super Bowl championship for your Kansas City Chiefs?

SEN. HAWLEY: I’m going to gloat right up until we win the next one next year.

CLAY: (laughing)

SEN. HAWLEY: (laughing) And who knows? Maybe he’ll get eight. Maybe he’ll… You know, he’s got a chance now to surpass Brady. He’s on track. I mean, it does make me… I tell you what. I’ll say this — and it’s the only nice thing I’ll say about Tom Brady, but I will say — that seeing what Mahomes is doing does make you respect what Brady has done over the long haul. But Mahomes, he is a generational talent. You and I have talked about this. Just see the way, Clay — I know you watched the game or were there.

CLAY: Yes.

“All glory to God” – Harrison Butker on his Super-Bowl winning kick. Love it https://t.co/JTV1iDa2EE

— Josh Hawley (@HawleyMO) February 14, 2023

SEN. HAWLEY: But just in the way that he adjusted in the second half, the time in the pocket, the time to release it, his throws, you know, faster and faster, just exploiting a very good defense on the part of the Eagles. But knowing that the quicker the release, the more trouble the Philly defense had with it. And to see the difference from first half to second half and that adjustment. I mean, you know, that’s pretty darn good. That’s an elite quarterback there. So, I think he’s got a lot left in him.

CLAY: He’s a savant. I know you’re busy, got to run down to the Senate floor. Thanks for taking the time with us today and enjoy that championship.

SEN. HAWLEY: Hey, thank you. Thanks for having me.

CLAY: That’s Senator Josh Hawley. Now, he’s fantastic, by the way, doing a great job in Missouri.

After Exhaustive Google Search, Don Lemon Reports Nikki Haley Isn’t in Her Prime

16 Feb 2023

For some reason, GOP presidential candidate Nikki Haley saying she’s in her prime and a new generation of leadership set off Don Lemon on the floundering CNN. (This guy used to have a brain, but then Trump happened and ruined it.) So you’ve got a 56-year-old gay man telling a 51-year-old woman that she should be careful about saying this.

Don Lemon says Nikki Haley isn’t in her prime as a politician because she’s not in her 20’s, 30’s or 40’s. Holy shit. She’s only 51! Biden’s 80! This may be the dumbest thing ever said on CNN. And I love that he cited Google as his source: pic.twitter.com/l1CzTYlkjX

— Clay Travis (@ClayTravis) February 16, 2023

Well, Lemon has now apologized — sort of.

The reference I made to a woman’s “prime” this morning was inartful and irrelevant, as colleagues and loved ones have pointed out, and I regret it. A woman’s age doesn't define her either personally or professionally. I have countless women in my life who prove that every day.

— Don Lemon (@donlemon) February 16, 2023

You know who’s past his prime? Don Lemon. He used to be on in primetime and he could be off the air altogether very soon.

Biden Finally Speaks on UFOs, Chinese Spy Balloon

16 Feb 2023

The president of the United States finally spoke about the bevy of unidentified flying objects shot down over America in the past week.

Biden: "The intelligence community's current assessment is that these three objects were most likely balloons tied to private companies, recreation, or research institutions studying weather or conducting other scientific research." pic.twitter.com/8cOfRW7akC

— The Post Millennial (@TPostMillennial) February 16, 2023

Turns out, according to him, they weren’t spy balloons, but just private weather balloons. So, he screwed up by not shooting down the Chinese spy balloon sooner, then overreacted and shot down everything in sight.
