| 0:00.0 | Welcome in Friday edition, Clay Travis Bucks Sexton show. |
| 0:08.5 | Appreciate all of you hanging out with us as we are rolling into the weekend to give you the absolute latest on everything. |
| 0:18.0 | Since we now cover the stock market on a daily basis, let me give you the latest. |
| 0:22.7 | It's not moving very much today, essentially unmoved in general, S&P up a little bit. The Dow is up a little bit, |
| 0:31.9 | not movement very much. If you listen to Jim Kramer and sold all your stocks, you made an awful decision because the week in stocks has actually been good. |
| 0:42.9 | China has raised tariffs a bit more on American goods, but basically sends the notice that they will not be raising goods anymore. |
| 0:53.2 | There is talk that there will be further discussion between China and the United States going forward. |

| 1:46.9 | recollection in between complaining about the Wi-Fi, as my wife pointed out in the delivery |
| 1:52.0 | room, and in between not being happy with the television selections, because I couldn't find |
| 1:56.9 | the games that I wanted to watch. Again, my wife called in and gave her recollections of our first baby being born, and that's |
| 2:02.7 | two of the things that she remembers. |
| 2:04.6 | And honestly, the Wi-Fi should work in the hospital, let's be honest, in my defense. |
| 2:08.8 | And why would you not have basic sports television stations on cable? |
