Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome to today's edition of The Clay Travis and Buck
Sexton Show podcast. Welcome in Everybody's second hour of The
Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show on the one year
anniversary must being United Together. The Tango in Cash of Radio,
the Turner and Hooch, Well, I guess that means that
(00:21):
I'm a lovable French Mastiff. Although French mastiffs are a
very regal and beautiful breed. I will say that that
was a good one from the eighties. I remember that.
Did you ever see that one club? If there's a
popular movie from the nineteen eighties, I have definitely seen
me too. Man. I saw a Canine with with Blushi.
I saw Turner and Hooch with Tom Hanks. Cried like
(00:43):
a baby at both of those movies. But something bad
happens to a canine. I can't I can't hold it
in and I'm not ashamed to say it. But anyway,
so I guess, well, I prefer the Tango and Cash
of radio. I think that's probably a better a better
move for us. But anyway, yeah, yeah, well, the leash,
the weapon. I mean, we have to use the names, obviously,
(01:04):
but we appreciate all of you listening, and we've got
so much in our minds to be sharing with you
in the months and years to come. So thank you
all across the country for giving us a shot and
letting us try to continue on the legacy, continue on
the fight, which is very necessary these days, as you've seen,
because things are getting crazy out there. We often talk
(01:25):
about sanity versus insanity, reality versus delusion. I think those
are some of the fundamental some of the fundamental challenges
that we're trying to tackle day in a day out,
which is just separate not only fact from fiction, but
just bizarre from Wait a second, I thought we all
kind of understood some of the same things here. I
(01:47):
thought we could operate from the same baseline foundational understanding
of what we're trying to achieve in this country. And
perhaps even more to the point, what's up, what's down,
what's left, what's right, what's know? What is two plus
two equal? And we are being forced increasingly by the
Democrat left, by the culture apparatus that they have, by
(02:11):
the control of institutions, right, and remember, institutional control does
not necessarily reflect sentiment within the institution. So all Disney employees,
for example, do not share, and I'd be willing to
bet probably less than half of them share these the
idea that there must be a dramatic increase in LGBTQIA.
(02:37):
By the way, I believe that's the full plus, that's
the full acronym. Every letter is where this is programming.
I don't want to leave one out, Clay, And to
leave one out would be you know, this is this
is a high crime these days to leave one of
the letters out. And there may be a new letter
added tomorrow, and if it is, Clay, I will make
sure that I add that letter. This is the longest
acronym I've ever heard of. But put that aside for
(02:59):
a second. People at Disney, people at these companies, they
don't necessarily reflect at the very top what the sentiments
of the individuals are in this far left, especially on
the far left transagenda stuff. And I'm talking about this
right now because sometimes Clay and I have to we
share something and we're talking, you know, we're sharing stuff
(03:19):
at night with the team. We're working up in the morning.
I mean this show people ask what our show prep is,
and our show prep is we're awake, we're thinking about
and talking about the show basically, and there's this Navy
pronoun education video that is making the rounds right now
on social media. And I said, wait, this is this real?
This is the United States Navy, you know. I mean
(03:41):
we've had We've had naval aviators on the show. Top
Gun is a naval aviator program. For example, we've talked
about you know, my grandfather rather served on the USS
Batan in World War Two in the Pacific. I mean,
our navy is amazing, the envy of the world, the
most powerful naval force in the history of the planet.
(04:01):
And yet here is the Navy's new instructional video on
proper pronoun you shage play clip four. Hi, my name
is Johnny, and I use he Heim pronouns. Hi, and
I'm County and I use chi her pronouns. And we're
here to talk about pronouns. What is a pronoun? A
(04:22):
pronoun is how we identify ourselves apart from our name,
and it's also how people were referred to us in conversations.
Using the right pronouns is a really simple way to
affirm someone's identity. It is a signal of acceptance and respect.
If it's a signal of acceptance and respect, how do
we go about creating a safe space for everybody. That's
(04:43):
a good question. A really good way to do that
is to use inclusive language. Instead of saying something like
hey guys, you can say hey everyone, or hey team,
I say, come on, man, come, we're gonna get We're
gonna get our ass kicked at some point. And when
we get our ass kicked, and I don't know when
(05:05):
it's going to be, when we get our ass kicked,
everybody's going to turn around and say, instead of developing
the biggest collection of ass kickers in American modern history,
we were worried about developing the biggest collection of ass
kissers in American history. Where all we do is sit
(05:25):
around worried about whether we're going to offend people or not.
Here is the hardcore reality. You know this better than
I do, for sure, Buck, and there are many people
out there who know it far better than both of us.
When your life is in danger, you want the baddest
ass on the planet helping to protect your lives. When
(05:48):
your country's future is at stake, you want the toughest
dudes or the toughest girls that are available out there
to be able to bring down the fun. And when
I sit around and I look at all this ridiculous showmanship,
because that's really what it is. Right when you look
(06:08):
at all of the external doesn't impact the creation of
the greatest fighting force on the planet. We are just
wasting time and we are enabling our enemies China and
Russia and Iran. They aren't sitting around doing inclusive pronoun
videos to encourage all of their people in the armed
(06:32):
forces to think about avoiding saying hey guys and say
hey team instead. All of this is mispret misplaced priorities
that is going to lead at some point, and I
hope it's not anytime soon, but at some point to
us getting whipped because we aren't developing the meanest, baddest
(06:54):
fighting force on the planet when we are focusing on
issues like these, we just aren't. And you can say, well,
the military needs to be a kindler, gentler place. I
would dispute that. I would say that the military needs
to be Razor's edge tough. And I don't believe that
behavior like this is creating more toughness in our military.
(07:16):
And I bet there's almost not a single person listening
to us right now who believes it. Unfortunately, Buck, I
guarantee you a lot of people in the armed services
who are listening to us right now are rolling their
eyes over this because they see it as clearly a
way to deconstruct the elements of toughness and forcefulness that
(07:39):
should be the hallmarks of a successful fighting force. It's
also not true. I mean, everything that you said is true,
but I mean this notion that I mean, and of
course I agree. And the combat veterans and active duty
military listening to this show, I look, I know a
lot of them, right. I mean, I've slept in the
same barrack with some of these folks overseas, and you
(08:04):
know they're rolling their eyes at this. You're saying, You've
You've got to be kidding. This is what I mean.
Though about while I started talking about the top, you know,
the HR Department and the C suite is not representing.
This is what the left figured out. This is one
of the I'll say it, this is one of their
strokes of tactical genius in the culture wars. You don't
need to convince everybody. Just have the people that have
(08:25):
the power to hire and fire, who are signing the
paychecks and who want to be invited to the fancy
cocktail parties, so HR Department all the way to C suite,
agree with the far left, and then that's what the
institutional power is used to do. But that's why you
have the Navy here saying all this, you know, doing
this whole pronoun indoctrination stuff, and how it's how it's
(08:48):
about acceptance and respect. No pronouns are about whether you're
a dressing a person who is male or female. There
is not this this demand society now for the make
believe pronouns or even worse, in so many cases, the
plural pronouns. I mean, I saw this with the Jennifer
Lopez now has a daughter who has come out non binary,
(09:12):
I believe, and you know, non binary or trans or
I can't keep it all straight, no one can. And
they're they're being referred to. I'm sorry, the media is
referring to this individual as they Well, when I read
the news story, I go, wait, they know even the
New York Times admits they is for plural. Okay, we're
not changing all of our language because some people have
(09:34):
an emotional need to dictate this speech of others. I
don't get to choose my adjectives. Imagine how cocky of
that it would be if Bucky came on and I said,
every time you refer to me, I demand you say
the incredibly handsome and the incredibly brilliant Clay Travis. No,
(09:55):
there's a lot of people out there. Maybe maybe we
do refer to you that way. There's lots of people
out there that would like to use adjectives that are
nowhere near as kind as those or as beneficial. And
by the way, you can read the comments on any
Clay and Buck post and you could find the opposite.
But you don't get to dictate to other people how
(10:17):
they describe you. That isn't a part of American discourse.
And so what we've got here is to use an
ancient military analogy. This is the trojan horse. Our military
is being destroyed from within by these koops who are
bringing in this diversity and inclusion language. And what they
(10:42):
are doing is just like with the trojan horse, for
those of you who are fans of ancient military history,
is being brought inside and then it is being unfurled
all of the things that are hidden. And by the way,
this is not just a military analogy. I think this
is happening to many institutions across our country. They bring
in these diversity and inclusion people hidden inside the trojan horse, right,
(11:07):
and then when it takes over the interior of the company,
everybody looks around and says, how did this happen? Well,
you let them inside your doors. You brought them inside
the gates of the fortress, and now they are going
to run roughshod over all of your protocols because this
is what they do. They attack. They are locusts. They
(11:28):
swarm and they destroy from the inside once you allow
them to do so. And it always starts with oh,
it's just about acceptance and being inclusive. That's the way
to your to your analogy of the trojan horse. That's
the way that they get it into the walls of
ancient Troy. That's the way the Greek strick everybody, so
to speak, because then it turns into Hold on a second.
(11:51):
I'm sorry, colonel. I know we're in a combat zone,
but you just said you men are going to come
under fire. I need you to be prepared. Can we
not use the yes. Every single you know, every single
marine in the room right now is in fact a
male and a hard charging door kicking, you know, butt kicker,
But can you not use the male pronoun that's what
(12:14):
happens here. Yeah, okay, you have one offs. You have
individuals who are in this extreme fringe minority who are
going to make demands of everybody which will be a distraction,
which will hurt a spree to corps. And if you
don't then they're gonna want penalties for this too. And
for anybody who thinks that's an exaggeration, look at what
they've done in some school districts. Now dead naming, which
(12:36):
running who doesn't know, is a reference to a trans
individual's previous name. So I go on the radio and say, oh,
Bradley Manning is out of prison out it's Chelsea Manning.
Even if it's an honest mistake, it's a dead naming
because of the trans identity that you have to now
all except and they want people to be punished for
this wrong pronoun usage for school children is to be
(12:57):
punished now, perhaps even with suspension. I'm sorry, A six
year old walking up to somebody you know with a
beard and saying yes, sir is normal. Okay, I don't
want to hear about how Oh, but maybe maybe the
bearded man is actually a bearded lady. No. And also
on this same context, it is so used the sports
(13:19):
analogy those Tampa Bay Rays players who said, Hey, I
don't want to wear the Pride flag on my shoulder, Buck.
It moves from you have to tolerate my choices too.
You have to behave in a way that reinforces what
I believe, or you're not being tolerant and inclusive. That's right.
(13:39):
It moves from hey, I'm happy this is me. These
are my life choices too. You have to endorse my
life choices and be proud of the choices that I
am making. That's a big leap. That's what ends up happening.
That is what occurs when you let this trojan horse
in your company, when you let it into your military,
and it is not making us a better fighting force
(14:02):
by any stretch of the imagination. A super woke female
soccer player, yes, has weighed in on this one, and
Claire and I are going to talk to you about
that in just a few moments here. And then also
a story that I just Clay, I just want to
tease this one so we don't forget it, because if
we say it on the era. I think we'll get
to it. Kamala Harris photos apparently going on sale as
in reduced prices. This is a real thing, a photo
(14:25):
with Kamala. Hey, you know two for one special to
be careful, who knows what those photos are of? So
we'll come back in just a second. You know that
the markets have been getting crushed lately. I don't have
to tell you look at your four O one K.
Actually if you do, maybe you might start crying a
little bit. So I would hold off on that one.
But that's because we're going into this period of not
just inflation, but possible stagflation. Even recession dollars are worth less.
(14:50):
You can buy less with them, and their value has
gone down. So what can you do to prepare given
these financially tumultuous times? Gold and silver, my friends, Gold
doesn't have the volatility of crypto, and silver, by the way,
has tremendous upside right now given historical highs. So my
plan is to buy more gold and silver now before
(15:13):
these big moves and those precious medals happen. I've been
buying my gold from the Oxford Gold Group for years.
They're the industry leader for lots of reasons, but you
can start with their best price and guarantee and their advice.
They want you to be like me, long term customers.
So when you call them and when you get your
free Precious Medals Investment Guide, you're getting advice about what
makes sense for you. They're not trying to oversell you.
(15:35):
They want you to make smart decisions that bring value
to you so that you're gonna want to buy more
from them. When they say the time is right and
right now is a good time for gold and silver,
store it away at home, have it in your hands.
Trust me, you're going to feel good about your gold
and silver purchase. Call them right now to diversify your portfolio.

Welcome back in Clay Travis buck Sexton Show one year anniversary.
Appreciate all of you hanging out with us. Wanted to
make sure these quotes did not miss all of the
attention that they so richly deserved. Remember when the US
(16:19):
women's soccer team was really likable when they represented the
United States and they waived the United States flag and
all of us gathered around it. I went to Championship.
I watched some of the women's Championship soccer matches back
that day. You know I did too. I mean, I
took my family up to Canada. We had an amazing
time in Vancouver, watched the US women win. I actually,
(16:42):
because Fox was doing the event, went to the celebration afterwards.
They were just such an incredibly likable group, and then
they bought into Donald Trump as the worst human being
who has ever existed. They refused to visit the White House.
They took the lead from Megan Rapino, and Megan Ropino
came out with some quotes. This is from Time magazine.
(17:04):
She said, Hey, I would this is a real quote
from somebody who is involved in athletics. I would encourage
everyone out there who is afraid someone's going to have
an unfair advantage over their kid by someone she means
a transgender athlete, to really take a step back and
think what we're actually talking about. We're talking about people's lives.
(17:26):
I'm sorry, your kid's high school volleyball team just isn't
that important. Well, hold on a minute, Megan Rapino, you're
telling me that if some dude decides that he wants
to compete who is six foot five, that he wants
to identify as a woman, and that my high school
athlete daughter, who spent her entire life working alongside of
(17:49):
her teammates to play that I should just get over
it and I shouldn't care. We're gonna, We're done. We're
gonna come back to this. We are gonna tea off
on this because I think, for Megan, Rapino is an
absolute imbecile for this argument. Get your popcorn coming back
in a moment. In the meantime, who's paying attention to
the cost of prescription drugs and what hospitals are charging
(18:11):
these days can be mind numbing? AMAC the Association of
Mature American Citizens. It's ultra important. Amac's focused on finding
ways to lower the cost of prescription drugs and hospital
supplies by examining the business practices of pharmacy benefit managers
and group purchasing organizations. Ambitious goal, but somebody has to
(18:31):
do it. That's why AMAC is working tirelessly for the
benefit of its membership. If you're not a member, become
one today. AMAC members enjoy exclusive benefits, a great magazine,
and most important, the strong conservative voice on Capitol Hill
stand with AMAC and US joined today at AMAC dot
us slash freedom. That's AMAC dot us slash freedom. Well,
(18:57):
happy one year anniversary, Clay and Buck. You know the
time flies when you're having fun, and I think you
guys are having a blast and along the way. What
a great job you are doing educating people on the
issues inflation, the border crime, foreign policy that is going awry.
(19:19):
I appreciate so much the work that you're doing. Love
being on with your happy anniversary. Another friend of the
show there, Senator Marsha Blackbird from Tennessee calling and to
wish us a happy one year anniversary. I gotta Clay,
what did you get? What did you get me? You
know my colors are blue, gray and other blue. I
(19:42):
wasn't sure what to get you because I didn't know
what your pronouns were going to be today, so I
didn't want to I didn't want to offend you. That's
a fair point. You did, however, very kindly take I
set up a steak dinner for us on Friday. Clay
took us. Clay took carry my girlfriend and me out
to a place called Keynes in New York City, which
she's never been. Isn't that first of all, the food
(20:02):
is amazing. But isn't it such a cool place? I mean,
it's they said it's one hundred and thirty years old.
I think it's in midtown Manhattan. You wouldn't know that
there could be such an old school, old style steakhouse
just plopped down in the middle of Manhattan. It's a
pretty cool joy we walked in. You did a great
job pick in that place because we're both history nerds.
But we walked in and there's all this Teddy Roosevelt
(20:24):
historic historical documentation on the walls. It was one of
his favorite places to eat in New York City. That's
how old this place is. And my wife and you
and your girlfriend carry we all had an awesome time
hanging out and other than when the table of New
Jersey Bros. Rolled in, which was the one downside, it
(20:45):
was like Jersey Shore suddenly like what's being filmed directly
behind us there for about five minutes we had to relocate. Well,
this brings me to the what I could call the
war on noise or unnecessary noise that we'll talk about
this maybe in the third of the third hour of
the show, because I do believe that we need all
the civilized people of America, all the civilized people of
the whole world, to recognize that there are just some rules.
(21:08):
If we're going to live together in close proximity. You know,
you can't put your phone on speaker and have FaceTime conversations.
And crowded restaurants you can't. You know, there's a few
things that we all need to gree on. But but
let's let's get back for a moment here. Oh and also, Clay,
don't worry now when I win our Hunter Biden doesn't
get indicted. Bet, we can split. We can split it,
(21:28):
you know what I mean. So it was a nice
down payment for that one. So I agree. We disagree
on Hunter Biden. We agree here on Megan Rapino, which
I just want to re emphasize. As we went to break,
I saw these quotes in her time interview and my
head almost exploded. So let me it hits you guys again.
We're talking about people's lives. I'm sorry your kids high
(21:52):
school volleyball team isn't that important. And so she is
saying that transgender athletes should be a to compete based
on the gender they put out there. Let me give
you this example. Buck you may not know this. The
US women's team got beaten by a group of fifteen
year old All Star boy soccer players in the state
(22:13):
of Texas. This is the women's World Cup winning team.
They got dominated by fifteen year old All Star boys.
If men decided to play women's soccer, they would take
Megan Rapino's spot in a heartbeat, and there would be
no women's soccer players period. Well, her argument is garbage
on many many levels. I mean, it's your point. Obviously,
(22:35):
the difference between male and female athletes is so pronounced
that essentially a good high school male athlete will often
out compete top D one female athletes getting on the
sport and even up to what would be a professional level.
It depends, you know, you have to line these things
up a little bit. But I would add to this,
(22:58):
you know, because we all know that the argument here
is pushed by people who think that this is an
opportunity for virtue signaling and for self aggrandizement. She's basically done,
her career is effectively sports is almost over. So for
her to sneer at people, you know, there's another, I mean,
(23:18):
heaven forbid, but there's another. Megan Rapino out there somewhere
who wants to you know, who wants to be the
best in her state in track and field, wants to
be the best in her state as a striker on
a soccer team, And you're gonna sneer at somebody who
wants fair competition. I mean, what about if we just said,
you know what, yeah, let's just let high school male
athletes take steroids. What's the big deal. It's just high
(23:40):
school athletics. So some people want a little extra edge.
Why do you want to deny that? Ah, But they say,
this is all about actualization, and this is a self actualization.
This is all about the identity of these individuals. Why
is it so important to trans athletes to play on
women's teams? It's just women's high school athletics. Why does
it matter so much? She says, people's lives are at stake.
(24:02):
What someone's going to engage in self harm if they're
trans and they can't play on the women's field hockey team. Well,
that's a whole other conversation we had, isn't it. So
she's sneers and her argument doesn't even make sense. Well,
and somebody should have fired back at her, because okay,
when does sports start mattering? Does the World Cup for
(24:22):
women matter? And if she says yes, say okay. What
if Christian Pulisic decided tomorrow. For those of you who
do not follow men's soccer, Pulisic is one of the
best players in American men's soccer history. He's a young
guy who's going to maybe be the best ever. What
if he just decided that he was going to be
Christiana Pulisic and he wanted to play women's soccer because
(24:45):
he had decided that he was transgender, Well, he would
be immediately the greatest women's soccer player of all time
and there wouldn't be a close second. Does Megan Rapino
think that Christian Pulistic deciding to change his name to
Astina and identify as a woman should be able to
play in the Women's World Cup? If not, isn't she
(25:07):
not embracing her own version? And for whatever level you
know this, buck, you coached high school soccer to say
sports don't matter. A lot of kids put a tremendous
amount of effort and intensity into trying to win a
state championship, inside trying to win a district, trying to
win a region my kids that I coached got to
(25:29):
the semifinals of the New York City Archdiocesan Championship, which
was you know, at that time in the left, that's
a big deal. New York City is the largest city
in the country. It's a huge league. There are a
lot of different teams. And by the way, for those kids,
for her again, for her, for Rappino to sneer at
other girls trying to make their way. Oh, it's that
d one scholarship they make at to volleyball. It's all
(25:51):
a big joke. Now that doesn't matter, don't We don't
elevate these female athletes. We don't understand that what they
do is important, not as important as the trans agenda. Apparently, Yeah,
that's essentially what that's what she's saying, and it's and honestly,
it's just it's just gross. Her whole approach to this
shows such a lack of appreciation for one what she
(26:13):
was able to. I mean, the fact we've been sitting
here now in the biggest radio show in the country
talking about this person who obviously doesn't have a grasp
of politics in any meaningful way, and it shows that
she is ungrateful and it's just brainwashed, like so many
of these other people that come forward and say, yeah,
who cares about the girls that have to change in
the locker room with these guys? Who cares? You know,
(26:34):
who cares? Everybody listening to this radio show, that's who cares.
America cares. And I care about all the teams that
are working right now in the summer, sweating together, trying
to put together the best possible team that they can.
Everybody who's listening to us out there right now either
has a kid or has been on a team that
put as much effort as they could into winning. And
(26:56):
I think your points a good one. Buck. She's thirty
six now and suddenly she doesn't need sports because her
career is coming to a close. So given the choice
between women's athletics or the transagenda, she is repudiating women's athletics,
which is why she has a platform at all, and
saying oh, sports really don't matter, and pivoting and trying
(27:19):
to become a political person. Well that's fine, but she's
completely rejecting everything that she stood for as an athlete.
I guarantee you if some dude wanted to play and
took Megan repeating Panos spot when she was growing up
on high school or playing on a travel team, it
may have well impacted her ability to have success as
(27:40):
an adult in that field. And even if it didn't,
we'd play sports to teach the lessons of sports, not
because most of us are going to go pro. I
think what she said is disgraceful, frankly for anybody who
cares about athlete. Imagine we allowed you know, I played
in high school with a kid who was much better
(28:02):
than me, but he played. He did Olympic development growing
up and went on to get a four year full
ride for soccer. Right he was. He was my co captain.
He was Mike Lay Travis Yea and I just think,
imagine if when he was on his junior Olympic development team,
I think he was maybe fourteen fifteen years old, they said,
you know, we're just going to allow a pro from
the best soccer league in the world in Europe or
(28:24):
you know, one of those, whether it's Syria or the
Premier League. We're gonna put him on the team and
he's just gonna crush everybody. And then they said, hey,
that's not fair, and they said, shut up, your fourteen
year old team isn't important. This guy wants to play
at this level, and it's more important that his emotions
are play cadd than these kids who are fourteen and
(28:44):
fifteen actually have any you know, any respect for the
effort that they've put into this. That's basically what you're
talking about here at the Rapino. That's one hundred percent right, buck,
And you well know there are lots of fourteen and
fifteen and sixteen year old boys who haven't put together
what life needs for them to be successful as they
(29:04):
get older, but they're going to stay eligible at school
because they can play on a sports team. This is
why I fought so hard with everything I had for
sports to continue during COVID, because sports keep a lot
of kids, especially young boys, out of trouble. And so
when you're telling them, hey, this thing that you care
about the most, that's keeping you on the straight and narrow,
(29:26):
that's teaching you the importance of being able to compete,
and that at some point you may give you an
opportunity for an education. It doesn't matter. Shame on Megan Rapino.
I just find her to be utterly unlikable but also
just not very smart in her logic. She has gone
so far left wing that she doesn't even use her
(29:48):
brain at all. Speaking of not using your brain military,
you heard us talking about it earlier, this ridiculous pronoun discussion.
The Navy now is doing videos to let everybody know
what their pronouns are. You know what I think of
people who are doing military pronoun focused videos. I think
they're losing a lot of testosterone, and that, unfortunately, is
(30:12):
becoming a major issue all over the country. Testosterone levels
for men are on a rapid decline. That's why you
need Chalk. They will hook you up. They will avoid
you ever pretending that you care about pronouns and having
to sit there and say, oh, I'm a he him,
(30:33):
I'm a whatever it is. Everybody will know you're a
he him if you have testosterone, if you are a
grown ass man. And that is why you need Chalk.
Make sure that you get hooked up right now with
our friends at Chalk. They're all patriots, they're all dedicated
Americans wanting the best for us, and they've done it
by combining natural and clinically studied herbal extracts into what
(30:55):
they call the male vitality Stack. There's a version for
women in as well. You can look online make sure
that you become the best version of yourself at cchoq
dot com. Sign up to receive their monthly subscription to
the ingredients. They put you in the very best shape
of your life in a very safe way. That's why
(31:18):
you need to go to chalk dot com either for yourself,
for your husband, for your wife, all natural supplements that
will put you at your absolute best. If you're a man,
they'll make sure that your testosterone levels are at their utmost.
Cchoq dot com. You can use my name Clay to
get thirty percent off everything that you purchase that is
(31:41):
cchoq dot com. Cchoq dot com use my name Clay,
Clay Travis, and bub Sexton. This is Michael Berry. It's
been one year since you buckled up in the big chair.
Reminds me of Top Gun Maverick. You both were like
rooster getting in the jet, knowing the nation was depending
(32:02):
on you, but this would be a challenging journey. You've
taken the reins of our spaceship to sanity and you've
led us with vision, comedy and common sense. This first
year was great, but the future is even brighter. Clay
and Buck continue your daily broadcast excellence. We'll all be
(32:23):
here listening. I'm proud to call you both my friend.
Oh man, that is the Tzarre of talk. Michael Berry
our good friend out of Houston, saying some very kind
things there in his own right. A fantastic radio host.
And the thing about Michael Barry is you roll with
Michael Barry in Houston, and like all of it, it's
just whatever you need. People are like, oh yeah, Michael,
(32:44):
Michael said, you know, all of a sudden, you want,
you know, you want to go roll around at the
monster Truck rally. We'll get you down in the middle
of the monster truck. Whatever you need in Houston. Michael
Berry's got you. He is a great dude. We love
all of our people down in Houston. And for the
show is out, Buck, I will tell you all of
the markets that we are number one in because the
(33:05):
list has become massive. And that is a testament to
all of you, not just listening, but saying, hey, if
you're fed up, and I hear this for people all
the time, and you're just begging for sanity, it's like
you're walking in the desert and you finally see water.
And it's not a mirage. It's an oasis. That is us,
that is us. We are here to provide that that
(33:27):
little bit of water when you're parched in the desert
right now. And by the way, I meant rodeo, but
I said monsters like rally because for some reason my
brain couldn't. But yes, I was able to get down
on the dirt at the Houston Rodeo thanks to thanks
to Michael Berry, so Clay. I was going to make
a transition here to bicycle from rodeo. But that's not
(33:48):
that's not really working. You know, I've been thrown off
the horse, you could say. But President President Trump, former
President Trump, has been making the rounds and he had
a little bit of fun with the Biden bike scenario
that happened here. Let's let's play clip one for everybody.
A pledge from the Donald. And I hope he has
(34:09):
recovered because, as you know, he fell off his bicycle today.
No I'm serious, I hope he's okay, fell off a bicycle.
I make this pledge to you today. I will never
ever ride a bicycle. It's a fair point. And I
just say, you know, I don't know, man, I'm not
(34:30):
a bicycle. I make a lot of jokes about the
East scooter because it has become and I'm not They're
becoming far more popular New York City than I think
anybody anticipated because you can just get around because what happens.
Mayor Bloomberg came in and essentially took whole lanes of
road and just made them for bikes and now East scooters.
I'm not a bicycle guy, though, It's just not my thing.
(34:51):
I know there's some people listening who probably bike one
hundred miles at a time and go into the Alps
and go into the Rockies, and I've just never been
a bike guy. I'm not a to bikes. I ride
them a lot down in Florida, and there's a lot
of people in my neighborhood in the Nashville area who
ride them everywhere. I gotta say, though, is Trump's sense
of humor totally maybe the most underrated part of his appeal,
(35:17):
because I feel like left wingers take everything he says
so literal that they don't even often notice the timing,
even the way he delivered that line about the biking,
the pausing, the saying no, I hope he's okay, the
filling people in. It's just it's it's it's almost like
he's stand up caliber in terms of feeding off of
(35:38):
the audience for all the rallies. He's right, He's a
world class entertainer and has an ability to not only
connect with people, but to keep them enthralled and laughing. Yes,
you know in a way that I think you're right.
I mean, we often talk about Trump's secret sauce in
politics was his ability to fight back at the at
(35:59):
the fake news media and to punch back instead of
just getting punched politically speaking all the time. But yeah, man,
his ability with a one liner and to name people
the nicknames that stick. That's a very tough thing to
get around when you're messing with somebody on the stage.
Best nickname pocahonas. Do you agree with me? I can't.
I don't think it. Eliza came up with that one,
(36:20):
to be fair, but he did popularize it quite a bit.
Low energy Jeb was pretty much the end for Jeb's
presidential aspirations. I don't know why, but that one really
everyone's like, you know what, he is kind of low energy.
I can't look at Elizabeth Warren now without laughing. At
her thinking about the Pocohonas angle, and the fact that
(36:42):
so many of the media accepted her explanation as true.
It's crazy, Fleet Travis and Buck Sexton on the front lines.
Welcome to today's edition of The Clay Travis and Buck
Sexton Show podcast. Welcome in Everybody's second hour of The
Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show on the one year
anniversary must being United Together. The Tango in Cash of Radio,
the Turner and Hooch, Well, I guess that means that
(00:21):
I'm a lovable French Mastiff. Although French mastiffs are a
very regal and beautiful breed. I will say that that
was a good one from the eighties. I remember that.
Did you ever see that one club? If there's a
popular movie from the nineteen eighties, I have definitely seen
me too. Man. I saw a Canine with with Blushi.
I saw Turner and Hooch with Tom Hanks. Cried like
(00:43):
a baby at both of those movies. But something bad
happens to a canine. I can't I can't hold it
in and I'm not ashamed to say it. But anyway,
so I guess, well, I prefer the Tango and Cash
of radio. I think that's probably a better a better
move for us. But anyway, yeah, yeah, well, the leash,
the weapon. I mean, we have to use the names, obviously,
(01:04):
but we appreciate all of you listening, and we've got
so much in our minds to be sharing with you
in the months and years to come. So thank you
all across the country for giving us a shot and
letting us try to continue on the legacy, continue on
the fight, which is very necessary these days, as you've seen,
because things are getting crazy out there. We often talk
(01:25):
about sanity versus insanity, reality versus delusion. I think those
are some of the fundamental some of the fundamental challenges
that we're trying to tackle day in a day out,
which is just separate not only fact from fiction, but
just bizarre from Wait a second, I thought we all
kind of understood some of the same things here. I
(01:47):
thought we could operate from the same baseline foundational understanding
of what we're trying to achieve in this country. And
perhaps even more to the point, what's up, what's down,
what's left, what's right, what's know? What is two plus
two equal? And we are being forced increasingly by the
Democrat left, by the culture apparatus that they have, by
(02:11):
the control of institutions, right, and remember, institutional control does
not necessarily reflect sentiment within the institution. So all Disney employees,
for example, do not share, and I'd be willing to
bet probably less than half of them share these the
idea that there must be a dramatic increase in LGBTQIA.
(02:37):
By the way, I believe that's the full plus, that's
the full acronym. Every letter is where this is programming.
I don't want to leave one out, Clay, And to
leave one out would be you know, this is this
is a high crime these days to leave one of
the letters out. And there may be a new letter
added tomorrow, and if it is, Clay, I will make
sure that I add that letter. This is the longest
acronym I've ever heard of. But put that aside for
(02:59):
a second. People at Disney, people at these companies, they
don't necessarily reflect at the very top what the sentiments
of the individuals are in this far left, especially on
the far left transagenda stuff. And I'm talking about this
right now because sometimes Clay and I have to we
share something and we're talking, you know, we're sharing stuff
(03:19):
at night with the team. We're working up in the morning.
I mean this show people ask what our show prep is,
and our show prep is we're awake, we're thinking about
and talking about the show basically, and there's this Navy
pronoun education video that is making the rounds right now
on social media. And I said, wait, this is this real?
This is the United States Navy, you know. I mean
(03:41):
we've had We've had naval aviators on the show. Top
Gun is a naval aviator program. For example, we've talked
about you know, my grandfather rather served on the USS
Batan in World War Two in the Pacific. I mean,
our navy is amazing, the envy of the world, the
most powerful naval force in the history of the planet.
(04:01):
And yet here is the Navy's new instructional video on
proper pronoun you shage play clip four. Hi, my name
is Johnny, and I use he Heim pronouns. Hi, and
I'm County and I use chi her pronouns. And we're
here to talk about pronouns. What is a pronoun? A
(04:22):
pronoun is how we identify ourselves apart from our name,
and it's also how people were referred to us in conversations.
Using the right pronouns is a really simple way to
affirm someone's identity. It is a signal of acceptance and respect.
If it's a signal of acceptance and respect, how do
we go about creating a safe space for everybody. That's
(04:43):
a good question. A really good way to do that
is to use inclusive language. Instead of saying something like
hey guys, you can say hey everyone, or hey team,
I say, come on, man, come, we're gonna get We're
gonna get our ass kicked at some point. And when
we get our ass kicked, and I don't know when
(05:05):
it's going to be, when we get our ass kicked,
everybody's going to turn around and say, instead of developing
the biggest collection of ass kickers in American modern history,
we were worried about developing the biggest collection of ass
kissers in American history. Where all we do is sit
(05:25):
around worried about whether we're going to offend people or not.
Here is the hardcore reality. You know this better than
I do, for sure, Buck, and there are many people
out there who know it far better than both of us.
When your life is in danger, you want the baddest
ass on the planet helping to protect your lives. When
(05:48):
your country's future is at stake, you want the toughest
dudes or the toughest girls that are available out there
to be able to bring down the fun. And when
I sit around and I look at all this ridiculous showmanship,
because that's really what it is. Right when you look
(06:08):
at all of the external doesn't impact the creation of
the greatest fighting force on the planet. We are just
wasting time and we are enabling our enemies China and
Russia and Iran. They aren't sitting around doing inclusive pronoun
videos to encourage all of their people in the armed
(06:32):
forces to think about avoiding saying hey guys and say
hey team instead. All of this is mispret misplaced priorities
that is going to lead at some point, and I
hope it's not anytime soon, but at some point to
us getting whipped because we aren't developing the meanest, baddest
(06:54):
fighting force on the planet when we are focusing on
issues like these, we just aren't. And you can say, well,
the military needs to be a kindler, gentler place. I
would dispute that. I would say that the military needs
to be Razor's edge tough. And I don't believe that
behavior like this is creating more toughness in our military.
(07:16):
And I bet there's almost not a single person listening
to us right now who believes it. Unfortunately, Buck, I
guarantee you a lot of people in the armed services
who are listening to us right now are rolling their
eyes over this because they see it as clearly a
way to deconstruct the elements of toughness and forcefulness that
(07:39):
should be the hallmarks of a successful fighting force. It's
also not true. I mean, everything that you said is true,
but I mean this notion that I mean, and of
course I agree. And the combat veterans and active duty
military listening to this show, I look, I know a
lot of them, right. I mean, I've slept in the
same barrack with some of these folks overseas, and you
(08:04):
know they're rolling their eyes at this. You're saying, You've
You've got to be kidding. This is what I mean.
Though about while I started talking about the top, you know,
the HR Department and the C suite is not representing.
This is what the left figured out. This is one
of the I'll say it, this is one of their
strokes of tactical genius in the culture wars. You don't
need to convince everybody. Just have the people that have
(08:25):
the power to hire and fire, who are signing the
paychecks and who want to be invited to the fancy
cocktail parties, so HR Department all the way to C suite,
agree with the far left, and then that's what the
institutional power is used to do. But that's why you
have the Navy here saying all this, you know, doing
this whole pronoun indoctrination stuff, and how it's how it's
(08:48):
about acceptance and respect. No pronouns are about whether you're
a dressing a person who is male or female. There
is not this this demand society now for the make
believe pronouns or even worse, in so many cases, the
plural pronouns. I mean, I saw this with the Jennifer
Lopez now has a daughter who has come out non binary,
(09:12):
I believe, and you know, non binary or trans or
I can't keep it all straight, no one can. And
they're they're being referred to. I'm sorry, the media is
referring to this individual as they Well, when I read
the news story, I go, wait, they know even the
New York Times admits they is for plural. Okay, we're
not changing all of our language because some people have
(09:34):
an emotional need to dictate this speech of others. I
don't get to choose my adjectives. Imagine how cocky of
that it would be if Bucky came on and I said,
every time you refer to me, I demand you say
the incredibly handsome and the incredibly brilliant Clay Travis. No,
(09:55):
there's a lot of people out there. Maybe maybe we
do refer to you that way. There's lots of people
out there that would like to use adjectives that are
nowhere near as kind as those or as beneficial. And
by the way, you can read the comments on any
Clay and Buck post and you could find the opposite.
But you don't get to dictate to other people how
(10:17):
they describe you. That isn't a part of American discourse.
And so what we've got here is to use an
ancient military analogy. This is the trojan horse. Our military
is being destroyed from within by these koops who are
bringing in this diversity and inclusion language. And what they
(10:42):
are doing is just like with the trojan horse, for
those of you who are fans of ancient military history,
is being brought inside and then it is being unfurled
all of the things that are hidden. And by the way,
this is not just a military analogy. I think this
is happening to many institutions across our country. They bring
in these diversity and inclusion people hidden inside the trojan horse, right,
(11:07):
and then when it takes over the interior of the company,
everybody looks around and says, how did this happen? Well,
you let them inside your doors. You brought them inside
the gates of the fortress, and now they are going
to run roughshod over all of your protocols because this
is what they do. They attack. They are locusts. They
(11:28):
swarm and they destroy from the inside once you allow
them to do so. And it always starts with oh,
it's just about acceptance and being inclusive. That's the way
to your to your analogy of the trojan horse. That's
the way that they get it into the walls of
ancient Troy. That's the way the Greek strick everybody, so
to speak, because then it turns into Hold on a second.
(11:51):
I'm sorry, colonel. I know we're in a combat zone,
but you just said you men are going to come
under fire. I need you to be prepared. Can we
not use the yes. Every single you know, every single
marine in the room right now is in fact a
male and a hard charging door kicking, you know, butt kicker,
But can you not use the male pronoun that's what
(12:14):
happens here. Yeah, okay, you have one offs. You have
individuals who are in this extreme fringe minority who are
going to make demands of everybody which will be a distraction,
which will hurt a spree to corps. And if you
don't then they're gonna want penalties for this too. And
for anybody who thinks that's an exaggeration, look at what
they've done in some school districts. Now dead naming, which
(12:36):
running who doesn't know, is a reference to a trans
individual's previous name. So I go on the radio and say, oh,
Bradley Manning is out of prison out it's Chelsea Manning.
Even if it's an honest mistake, it's a dead naming
because of the trans identity that you have to now
all except and they want people to be punished for
this wrong pronoun usage for school children is to be
(12:57):
punished now, perhaps even with suspension. I'm sorry, A six
year old walking up to somebody you know with a
beard and saying yes, sir is normal. Okay, I don't
want to hear about how Oh, but maybe maybe the
bearded man is actually a bearded lady. No. And also
on this same context, it is so used the sports
(13:19):
analogy those Tampa Bay Rays players who said, Hey, I
don't want to wear the Pride flag on my shoulder, Buck.
It moves from you have to tolerate my choices too.
You have to behave in a way that reinforces what
I believe, or you're not being tolerant and inclusive. That's right.
(13:39):
It moves from hey, I'm happy this is me. These
are my life choices too. You have to endorse my
life choices and be proud of the choices that I
am making. That's a big leap. That's what ends up happening.
That is what occurs when you let this trojan horse
in your company, when you let it into your military,
and it is not making us a better fighting force
(14:02):
by any stretch of the imagination. A super woke female
soccer player, yes, has weighed in on this one, and
Claire and I are going to talk to you about
that in just a few moments here. And then also
a story that I just Clay, I just want to
tease this one so we don't forget it, because if
we say it on the era. I think we'll get
to it. Kamala Harris photos apparently going on sale as
in reduced prices. This is a real thing, a photo
(14:25):
with Kamala. Hey, you know two for one special to
be careful, who knows what those photos are of? So
we'll come back in just a second. You know that
the markets have been getting crushed lately. I don't have
to tell you look at your four O one K.
Actually if you do, maybe you might start crying a
little bit. So I would hold off on that one.
But that's because we're going into this period of not
just inflation, but possible stagflation. Even recession dollars are worth less.
(14:50):
You can buy less with them, and their value has
gone down. So what can you do to prepare given
these financially tumultuous times? Gold and silver, my friends, Gold
doesn't have the volatility of crypto, and silver, by the way,
has tremendous upside right now given historical highs. So my
plan is to buy more gold and silver now before
(15:13):
these big moves and those precious medals happen. I've been
buying my gold from the Oxford Gold Group for years.
They're the industry leader for lots of reasons, but you
can start with their best price and guarantee and their advice.
They want you to be like me, long term customers.
So when you call them and when you get your
free Precious Medals Investment Guide, you're getting advice about what
makes sense for you. They're not trying to oversell you.
(15:35):
They want you to make smart decisions that bring value
to you so that you're gonna want to buy more
from them. When they say the time is right and
right now is a good time for gold and silver,
store it away at home, have it in your hands.
Trust me, you're going to feel good about your gold
and silver purchase. Call them right now to diversify your portfolio.

Welcome back in Clay Travis buck Sexton Show one year anniversary.
Appreciate all of you hanging out with us. Wanted to
make sure these quotes did not miss all of the
attention that they so richly deserved. Remember when the US
(16:19):
women's soccer team was really likable when they represented the
United States and they waived the United States flag and
all of us gathered around it. I went to Championship.
I watched some of the women's Championship soccer matches back
that day. You know I did too. I mean, I
took my family up to Canada. We had an amazing
time in Vancouver, watched the US women win. I actually,
(16:42):
because Fox was doing the event, went to the celebration afterwards.
They were just such an incredibly likable group, and then
they bought into Donald Trump as the worst human being
who has ever existed. They refused to visit the White House.
They took the lead from Megan Rapino, and Megan Ropino
came out with some quotes. This is from Time magazine.
(17:04):
She said, Hey, I would this is a real quote
from somebody who is involved in athletics. I would encourage
everyone out there who is afraid someone's going to have
an unfair advantage over their kid by someone she means
a transgender athlete, to really take a step back and
think what we're actually talking about. We're talking about people's lives.
(17:26):
I'm sorry, your kid's high school volleyball team just isn't
that important. Well, hold on a minute, Megan Rapino, you're
telling me that if some dude decides that he wants
to compete who is six foot five, that he wants
to identify as a woman, and that my high school
athlete daughter, who spent her entire life working alongside of
(17:49):
her teammates to play that I should just get over
it and I shouldn't care. We're gonna, We're done. We're
gonna come back to this. We are gonna tea off
on this because I think, for Megan, Rapino is an
absolute imbecile for this argument. Get your popcorn coming back
in a moment. In the meantime, who's paying attention to
the cost of prescription drugs and what hospitals are charging
(18:11):
these days can be mind numbing? AMAC the Association of
Mature American Citizens. It's ultra important. Amac's focused on finding
ways to lower the cost of prescription drugs and hospital
supplies by examining the business practices of pharmacy benefit managers
and group purchasing organizations. Ambitious goal, but somebody has to
(18:31):
do it. That's why AMAC is working tirelessly for the
benefit of its membership. If you're not a member, become
one today. AMAC members enjoy exclusive benefits, a great magazine,
and most important, the strong conservative voice on Capitol Hill
stand with AMAC and US joined today at AMAC dot
us slash freedom. That's AMAC dot us slash freedom. Well,
(18:57):
happy one year anniversary, Clay and Buck. You know the
time flies when you're having fun, and I think you
guys are having a blast and along the way. What
a great job you are doing educating people on the
issues inflation, the border crime, foreign policy that is going awry.
(19:19):
I appreciate so much the work that you're doing. Love
being on with your happy anniversary. Another friend of the
show there, Senator Marsha Blackbird from Tennessee calling and to
wish us a happy one year anniversary. I gotta Clay,
what did you get? What did you get me? You
know my colors are blue, gray and other blue. I
(19:42):
wasn't sure what to get you because I didn't know
what your pronouns were going to be today, so I
didn't want to I didn't want to offend you. That's
a fair point. You did, however, very kindly take I
set up a steak dinner for us on Friday. Clay
took us. Clay took carry my girlfriend and me out
to a place called Keynes in New York City, which
she's never been. Isn't that first of all, the food
(20:02):
is amazing. But isn't it such a cool place? I mean,
it's they said it's one hundred and thirty years old.
I think it's in midtown Manhattan. You wouldn't know that
there could be such an old school, old style steakhouse
just plopped down in the middle of Manhattan. It's a
pretty cool joy we walked in. You did a great
job pick in that place because we're both history nerds.
But we walked in and there's all this Teddy Roosevelt
(20:24):
historic historical documentation on the walls. It was one of
his favorite places to eat in New York City. That's
how old this place is. And my wife and you
and your girlfriend carry we all had an awesome time
hanging out and other than when the table of New
Jersey Bros. Rolled in, which was the one downside, it
(20:45):
was like Jersey Shore suddenly like what's being filmed directly
behind us there for about five minutes we had to relocate. Well,
this brings me to the what I could call the
war on noise or unnecessary noise that we'll talk about
this maybe in the third of the third hour of
the show, because I do believe that we need all
the civilized people of America, all the civilized people of
the whole world, to recognize that there are just some rules.
(21:08):
If we're going to live together in close proximity. You know,
you can't put your phone on speaker and have FaceTime conversations.
And crowded restaurants you can't. You know, there's a few
things that we all need to gree on. But but
let's let's get back for a moment here. Oh and also, Clay,
don't worry now when I win our Hunter Biden doesn't
get indicted. Bet, we can split. We can split it,
(21:28):
you know what I mean. So it was a nice
down payment for that one. So I agree. We disagree
on Hunter Biden. We agree here on Megan Rapino, which
I just want to re emphasize. As we went to break,
I saw these quotes in her time interview and my
head almost exploded. So let me it hits you guys again.
We're talking about people's lives. I'm sorry your kids high
(21:52):
school volleyball team isn't that important. And so she is
saying that transgender athletes should be a to compete based
on the gender they put out there. Let me give
you this example. Buck you may not know this. The
US women's team got beaten by a group of fifteen
year old All Star boy soccer players in the state
(22:13):
of Texas. This is the women's World Cup winning team.
They got dominated by fifteen year old All Star boys.
If men decided to play women's soccer, they would take
Megan Rapino's spot in a heartbeat, and there would be
no women's soccer players period. Well, her argument is garbage
on many many levels. I mean, it's your point. Obviously,
(22:35):
the difference between male and female athletes is so pronounced
that essentially a good high school male athlete will often
out compete top D one female athletes getting on the
sport and even up to what would be a professional level.
It depends, you know, you have to line these things
up a little bit. But I would add to this,
(22:58):
you know, because we all know that the argument here
is pushed by people who think that this is an
opportunity for virtue signaling and for self aggrandizement. She's basically done,
her career is effectively sports is almost over. So for
her to sneer at people, you know, there's another, I mean,
(23:18):
heaven forbid, but there's another. Megan Rapino out there somewhere
who wants to you know, who wants to be the
best in her state in track and field, wants to
be the best in her state as a striker on
a soccer team, And you're gonna sneer at somebody who
wants fair competition. I mean, what about if we just said,
you know what, yeah, let's just let high school male
athletes take steroids. What's the big deal. It's just high
(23:40):
school athletics. So some people want a little extra edge.
Why do you want to deny that? Ah, But they say,
this is all about actualization, and this is a self actualization.
This is all about the identity of these individuals. Why
is it so important to trans athletes to play on
women's teams? It's just women's high school athletics. Why does
it matter so much? She says, people's lives are at stake.
(24:02):
What someone's going to engage in self harm if they're
trans and they can't play on the women's field hockey team. Well,
that's a whole other conversation we had, isn't it. So
she's sneers and her argument doesn't even make sense. Well,
and somebody should have fired back at her, because okay,
when does sports start mattering? Does the World Cup for
(24:22):
women matter? And if she says yes, say okay. What
if Christian Pulisic decided tomorrow. For those of you who
do not follow men's soccer, Pulisic is one of the
best players in American men's soccer history. He's a young
guy who's going to maybe be the best ever. What
if he just decided that he was going to be
Christiana Pulisic and he wanted to play women's soccer because
(24:45):
he had decided that he was transgender, Well, he would
be immediately the greatest women's soccer player of all time
and there wouldn't be a close second. Does Megan Rapino
think that Christian Pulistic deciding to change his name to
Astina and identify as a woman should be able to
play in the Women's World Cup? If not, isn't she
(25:07):
not embracing her own version? And for whatever level you
know this, buck, you coached high school soccer to say
sports don't matter. A lot of kids put a tremendous
amount of effort and intensity into trying to win a
state championship, inside trying to win a district, trying to
win a region my kids that I coached got to
(25:29):
the semifinals of the New York City Archdiocesan Championship, which
was you know, at that time in the left, that's
a big deal. New York City is the largest city
in the country. It's a huge league. There are a
lot of different teams. And by the way, for those kids,
for her again, for her, for Rappino to sneer at
other girls trying to make their way. Oh, it's that
d one scholarship they make at to volleyball. It's all
(25:51):
a big joke. Now that doesn't matter, don't We don't
elevate these female athletes. We don't understand that what they
do is important, not as important as the trans agenda. Apparently, Yeah,
that's essentially what that's what she's saying, and it's and honestly,
it's just it's just gross. Her whole approach to this
shows such a lack of appreciation for one what she
(26:13):
was able to. I mean, the fact we've been sitting
here now in the biggest radio show in the country
talking about this person who obviously doesn't have a grasp
of politics in any meaningful way, and it shows that
she is ungrateful and it's just brainwashed, like so many
of these other people that come forward and say, yeah,
who cares about the girls that have to change in
the locker room with these guys? Who cares? You know,
(26:34):
who cares? Everybody listening to this radio show, that's who cares.
America cares. And I care about all the teams that
are working right now in the summer, sweating together, trying
to put together the best possible team that they can.
Everybody who's listening to us out there right now either
has a kid or has been on a team that
put as much effort as they could into winning. And
(26:56):
I think your points a good one. Buck. She's thirty
six now and suddenly she doesn't need sports because her
career is coming to a close. So given the choice
between women's athletics or the transagenda, she is repudiating women's athletics,
which is why she has a platform at all, and
saying oh, sports really don't matter, and pivoting and trying
(27:19):
to become a political person. Well that's fine, but she's
completely rejecting everything that she stood for as an athlete.
I guarantee you if some dude wanted to play and
took Megan repeating Panos spot when she was growing up
on high school or playing on a travel team, it
may have well impacted her ability to have success as
(27:40):
an adult in that field. And even if it didn't,
we'd play sports to teach the lessons of sports, not
because most of us are going to go pro. I
think what she said is disgraceful, frankly for anybody who
cares about athlete. Imagine we allowed you know, I played
in high school with a kid who was much better
(28:02):
than me, but he played. He did Olympic development growing
up and went on to get a four year full
ride for soccer. Right he was. He was my co captain.
He was Mike Lay Travis Yea and I just think,
imagine if when he was on his junior Olympic development team,
I think he was maybe fourteen fifteen years old, they said,
you know, we're just going to allow a pro from
the best soccer league in the world in Europe or
(28:24):
you know, one of those, whether it's Syria or the
Premier League. We're gonna put him on the team and
he's just gonna crush everybody. And then they said, hey,
that's not fair, and they said, shut up, your fourteen
year old team isn't important. This guy wants to play
at this level, and it's more important that his emotions
are play cadd than these kids who are fourteen and
(28:44):
fifteen actually have any you know, any respect for the
effort that they've put into this. That's basically what you're
talking about here at the Rapino. That's one hundred percent right, buck,
And you well know there are lots of fourteen and
fifteen and sixteen year old boys who haven't put together
what life needs for them to be successful as they
(29:04):
get older, but they're going to stay eligible at school
because they can play on a sports team. This is
why I fought so hard with everything I had for
sports to continue during COVID, because sports keep a lot
of kids, especially young boys, out of trouble. And so
when you're telling them, hey, this thing that you care
about the most, that's keeping you on the straight and narrow,
(29:26):
that's teaching you the importance of being able to compete,
and that at some point you may give you an
opportunity for an education. It doesn't matter. Shame on Megan Rapino.
I just find her to be utterly unlikable but also
just not very smart in her logic. She has gone
so far left wing that she doesn't even use her
(29:48):
brain at all. Speaking of not using your brain military,
you heard us talking about it earlier, this ridiculous pronoun discussion.
The Navy now is doing videos to let everybody know
what their pronouns are. You know what I think of
people who are doing military pronoun focused videos. I think
they're losing a lot of testosterone, and that, unfortunately, is
(30:12):
becoming a major issue all over the country. Testosterone levels
for men are on a rapid decline. That's why you
need Chalk. They will hook you up. They will avoid
you ever pretending that you care about pronouns and having
to sit there and say, oh, I'm a he him,
(30:33):
I'm a whatever it is. Everybody will know you're a
he him if you have testosterone, if you are a
grown ass man. And that is why you need Chalk.
Make sure that you get hooked up right now with
our friends at Chalk. They're all patriots, they're all dedicated
Americans wanting the best for us, and they've done it
by combining natural and clinically studied herbal extracts into what

Cchoq dot com. You can use my name Clay to
get thirty percent off everything that you purchase that is
(31:41):
cchoq dot com. Cchoq dot com use my name Clay,
Clay Travis, and bub Sexton. This is Michael Berry. It's
been one year since you buckled up in the big chair.
Reminds me of Top Gun Maverick. You both were like
rooster getting in the jet, knowing the nation was depending
(32:02):
on you, but this would be a challenging journey. You've
taken the reins of our spaceship to sanity and you've
led us with vision, comedy and common sense. This first
year was great, but the future is even brighter. Clay
and Buck continue your daily broadcast excellence. We'll all be
(32:23):
here listening. I'm proud to call you both my friend.
Oh man, that is the Tzarre of talk. Michael Berry
our good friend out of Houston, saying some very kind
things there in his own right. A fantastic radio host.
And the thing about Michael Barry is you roll with
Michael Barry in Houston, and like all of it, it's
just whatever you need. People are like, oh yeah, Michael,
(32:44):
Michael said, you know, all of a sudden, you want,
you know, you want to go roll around at the
monster Truck rally. We'll get you down in the middle
of the monster truck. Whatever you need in Houston. Michael
Berry's got you. He is a great dude. We love
all of our people down in Houston. And for the
show is out, Buck, I will tell you all of
the markets that we are number one in because the
(33:05):
list has become massive. And that is a testament to
all of you, not just listening, but saying, hey, if
you're fed up, and I hear this for people all
the time, and you're just begging for sanity, it's like
you're walking in the desert and you finally see water.
And it's not a mirage. It's an oasis. That is us,
that is us. We are here to provide that that
(33:27):
little bit of water when you're parched in the desert
right now. And by the way, I meant rodeo, but
I said monsters like rally because for some reason my
brain couldn't. But yes, I was able to get down
on the dirt at the Houston Rodeo thanks to thanks
to Michael Berry, so Clay. I was going to make
a transition here to bicycle from rodeo. But that's not
(33:48):
that's not really working. You know, I've been thrown off
the horse, you could say. But President President Trump, former
President Trump, has been making the rounds and he had
a little bit of fun with the Biden bike scenario
that happened here. Let's let's play clip one for everybody.
A pledge from the Donald. And I hope he has
(34:09):
recovered because, as you know, he fell off his bicycle today.
No I'm serious, I hope he's okay, fell off a bicycle.
I make this pledge to you today. I will never
ever ride a bicycle. It's a fair point. And I
just say, you know, I don't know, man, I'm not
(34:30):
a bicycle. I make a lot of jokes about the
East scooter because it has become and I'm not They're
becoming far more popular New York City than I think
anybody anticipated because you can just get around because what happens.
Mayor Bloomberg came in and essentially took whole lanes of
road and just made them for bikes and now East scooters.
I'm not a bicycle guy, though, It's just not my thing.
(34:51):
I know there's some people listening who probably bike one
hundred miles at a time and go into the Alps
and go into the Rockies, and I've just never been
a bike guy. I'm not a to bikes. I ride
them a lot down in Florida, and there's a lot
of people in my neighborhood in the Nashville area who
ride them everywhere. I gotta say, though, is Trump's sense
of humor totally maybe the most underrated part of his appeal,
(35:17):
because I feel like left wingers take everything he says
so literal that they don't even often notice the timing,
even the way he delivered that line about the biking,
the pausing, the saying no, I hope he's okay, the
filling people in. It's just it's it's it's almost like
he's stand up caliber in terms of feeding off of
(35:38):
the audience for all the rallies. He's right, He's a
world class entertainer and has an ability to not only
connect with people, but to keep them enthralled and laughing. Yes,
you know in a way that I think you're right.
I mean, we often talk about Trump's secret sauce in
politics was his ability to fight back at the at
(35:59):
the fake news media and to punch back instead of
just getting punched politically speaking all the time. But yeah, man,
his ability with a one liner and to name people
the nicknames that stick. That's a very tough thing to
get around when you're messing with somebody on the stage.
Best nickname pocahonas. Do you agree with me? I can't.
I don't think it. Eliza came up with that one,
(36:20):
to be fair, but he did popularize it quite a bit.
Low energy Jeb was pretty much the end for Jeb's
presidential aspirations. I don't know why, but that one really
everyone's like, you know what, he is kind of low energy.
I can't look at Elizabeth Warren now without laughing. At
her thinking about the Pocohonas angle, and the fact that
(36:42):
so many of the media accepted her explanation as true.
It's crazy, Fleet Travis and Buck Sexton on the front lines.
