Welcome to today's edition of the Clay Travis and Bucksexten Show podcast.

Third hour of playing Buck on this Friday, January 13th. Whoa, that just sunk in.

Did you realize that Clay? Yeah, I did because I was paying attention to the,

some of the memes that were coming out today of Friday 13th. And I always like, it's always a

good excuse to think about horror movies in general. And I'm always in the back of my head thinking

when are my boys old enough to start to get to see some horror movies, right? Because you don't

want them sleeping and unable to sleep showing up in the middle of the night trying to climb into

bed with you, which happens if they watch them too young, but you also don't want to leave them

like the stranger things debate was one we had in a big way. So we got our friend Andy McCarthy

with us now of national review. He's a Fox News contributor. Southern District of New York,

federal prosecutor for over 20 years. Andy, great to have you back. How are you guys? Happy new year.

Happy new year to you, sir. Great to have you here. And let me just start with this Andy.

I mean, what the heck happened yesterday? How surprised were you that Merrick Garland announced that

there had been this special counsel appointment looking at a Democrat? Well, I think Buck that he

played politics with the appointment of a special counsel for Trump, which was completely unnecessary.

The only reason for doing this. Nothing inherently conflicting about the Biden Justice Department

investigating Trump and the the segley that like the fact that he announced that he was a presidential

candidate somehow changed things with ridiculous, but he did it because he wanted to create some

distance between himself and Biden. But what looked at that point like the certainty that Trump

was going to be charged in connection with these classified documents. But you know, he looked

ridiculous doing it because for two years, he hadn't appointed one in what they liked to call

the hunter case, but what I call the Biden investigation, which is what it ought to be.
