Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome to today's edition of The Clay, Travis and Buck
Sexton Show podcast. Welcome at everybody to the Wednesday edition
of The Clay, Travis and Buck Sexton Show. This is
Buckham here in NYC. Clay on vacation for the week.
He's with the wife and kids having a great time
in Upper Michigan Mackinaw Island, which I hear is quite lovely.
(00:21):
He's having a good time with there. If you see him,
you see a fellow with a swoop of hair and
some flip flops on, some baggy shorts. Ghostly high to Clay.
He's on vacation, but he loves whenever the audience gives
him a high five. We got a lot of news
to get to today. Last night was big night in
the elections. We're gonna dive into that in a second.
Lot of primary stuff going on, some primary drama even
(00:46):
to discuss. You've also got some interesting machinations in DC
where another January sixth defendant had a venue change denied
the DC Circuit Court and the ability to the federal
government to hold anything revolving around January six in that
(01:06):
court and then to deny change of venue. It's like
the Deep States stronghold right now. So they'll try you
in an entirely Democrat city with people that get all
their news from seat down in the Washington Post, hate
anybody that was affiliated with Trump or January sixth, and
you're supposed to get a fair trial according to the
(01:28):
judge because reasons. They don't actually have reasons. It's ridiculous.
Will certainly be discussing that a big gut check moment
for those who have thought in the aftermath of Roe
v Way being overturned that there's going to be a
clear pathway even in very red states. What happened in
(01:50):
Kansas last night is a reminder that the fight for
life is going to require further mobilization. It's going to
require further effort and to get laws passed to defend
as many lives as possible in the womb. It's going
to require politics and an understanding of the political realities Kansas.
(02:11):
Last night there was a loss for the pro life movement.
Some very specific circumstances about these Kansas state constitution and
I'll get into all of it, but a reminder for
all this Joe Mansion still trying to defend the total
turnaround here on hundreds of billions in spending did not
(02:31):
go so well for him in some recent interviews Demi Lavato,
I am vaguely familiar with Demi Lavato. I'm looking at
the team here. I am not a pop culture expert.
You may have picked up on that. As last night
I was going into the phase of the Keegan book
(02:53):
on World War One where he's talking about the Turks
entering into the war or the You know, I'm not
so up on the pop culture stuff. But Debi Levado
is a famous person, a singer, and she became a
he who has now demanded that she be called the
she again. Reversal of the pronouns, folks. So you now
(03:18):
we will talk about that this was inevitable. This was inevitable.
You know. It's a little bit like that game Simon says,
you play. We're kids. You have to do whatever the
person says. Now, you have to give whatever pronouns they
ask for. And remember if you get the wrong pronouns,
you're a bad person. That's what they tell you. So
we have a lot to talk about on that one.
Oh and we're waiting in the meantime for the response
(03:42):
to Pelosi touching down in China. I'm sorry Taiwan. I
just said China. I meant Taiwan. That was actually I
just had Trump in my head there in Taiwan, not
in China. Big, big, central part of the problem here
or the issue Pelosi touching down in Taiwan and the
Chinese getting very upset about this. But what are they
(04:05):
going to do? Nobody knows. I've seen some analysis saying,
let's now, it's the change in the long game, change
in the situation of what the Chinese Communist Party will
do in response to Pelosi's provocation. In their eyes, I
think it's going to be pretty minimal. But as you
see a lot of things, a lot of things squirreling around. Now,
(04:27):
let's dive into the election last night and what we
can take from some of these victories. First of all,
Eric Schmidt has handily beaten in the primary for the
governor's race there Eric Gryten's for US Senates. Did I
say X Missouri Governor Eric Writen's for the US Senate
(04:49):
seat there? So Schmidt has beaten X Missouri Governor Eric
Writen's for that Senate seat in that primary. And that's interest,
especially because in recent days you may have seen Trump.
Trump's team put out there are a lot of Trump endorsements.
We can discuss how that's gone. It seems the Trump
endorsement is still certainly very potent in a lot of
(05:13):
these races. But they put out a statement saying that
Trump effectively supports Eric. I mean that they just said
Eric in the official statement, and that everyone was saying, well,
is that Eric schmidter? Eric writing's trolling comedy, whatever you
want to call it. It turns out Eric Schmidt one,
So congratulations to him. A very big win for Tutor
(05:36):
Dickson in the GOP primary for the governor's race in
Michigan against Gretchen Whitmer. This one I'm gonna be watching eagerly.
You remember, there's gonna be races going on. We got
a huge mid term all over the country. We're gonna
focus in on the ones that are the most important
(05:57):
at the national level, or that highlights some issue that
is important I think beyond just the political realities of
one district or or one region of a state. Gretchen Whittmer,
after Cuomo and Newsom, I think you'd have to say
was the single or she she was Well, let's say third.
(06:17):
She was the third most vociferous lockdown proponent of any
of the governors, right, I feel like it was Cuomo
was number. Faucci was at the top of the authoritarian
COVID pyramid. And then you had Cuomo no longer governor,
and Gavin Newsom of California, and they were in a
(06:39):
little bit of a contest to see who could do
the most pointless COVID theater of and they kept kept
doing it, of course, and then you had I think
Gretchen Whittmer right below that. Let's let's all recall Gretchen
Whitmer used to do TV hits with a embroidered Fauci
(07:00):
hello behind her, specifically placed in her cable news shots
where she was going, Oh, yeah, we're just gonna triple
mask your kids and we're gonna just shut down everything
and I'm gonna keep you safe. And it didn't work.
It was pointless, but she had a Fauci pillow that
she kept right there in the shot, a little shrine
(07:21):
to Fauci, to tiny Fauci. What else do you really
have to know? I whatever I can do, whatever Clay
and I can do. He's up in Michigan right now,
to help Tutor Dixon defeat Gretchen Whitmer in that Michigan
gubernatorial race. You could count me in. She needs Whitmer
needs to go. She needs to be out of that office.
(07:45):
She needs to pay the price for her COVID lunacy,
her lack of courage, her poor decision making, and the
immiseration of so many people in her state for no
good reason. In fact, it was just a Democrat fad,
a kind of mass psychological mass delusion. And I think
(08:08):
that's a really important one. So we have that. We
also saw last night our friend Blake Masters, who we
had just had on the show recently. He is now
going to be Is it officially called yet? Did the
producer rally? Did they officially call for Masters? I know
carry Lake says she's got it in the bag, but
her opponent is saying, Robson is saying, this is for
(08:30):
the Arizona Governor's primary, Republican primary. Carry Lake, who we've
had on many times. I've gotten a chance to speak
to Carry a bit on the issues outside of Radio
two and as very it's a formidable candidate. Looks like
she's gonna win, but there's still some counting going. I
think it's not officially called yet. I believe Blake Masters
(08:52):
has it has been officially called. I mean, this is
he He's going to be the Republican Republican contender square.
He was way head in the polls squaring off against
Mark Kelly for that Arizona Senate seat. So those are
And if, by the way, if there's a big one
in your state that I am leaving out by all means,

We've got a video up there. We've got a YouTube
channel I'm trying to work on. When I do I
get in the habit of doing radio and I kind
of just look around me because I'm you know, I'm
in the zone, man. And I realized I need to
(09:34):
look into the camera more for YouTube purposes during during radio.
So that's something you can do when you go to
Clay and Buck dot com or just subscribe to or
YouTube channel. And if we left if I left out
any really important race last night, at this stage, I
would say, let me know and I'll get back into it.
But the the Dickson victory backed by Trump. I mean,
(09:56):
you look at the whole range of people, Um, from
the oh oh, and there is there is another one
that got a lot of attention. Uh one. One big
thing from last night was that you have this, uh,
this Republican Member of Congress Uh Meyer right up up
(10:18):
in West Michigan. UM. He's an incumbent and he is
one of these guys who lost to a contender on
the other side who was actually getting some Democrat money.
This is and John Gibbs. Congratulations to John Gibbs. He
(10:40):
he is a now candidate for the Michigan third Congressional district.
Gibbs is backed by Trump. He is very maga, he
is an African American, and he ended up beating Meyer
in this primary. So Meyer got primary. He voted to
impeach Trump. And this is one of these places where
(11:01):
the Democrats spent a few hundred thousand dollars supporting Gibbs.
And this was official. DCC is a DCCC. There we go.
I gotta get the last Democrat congressional cano DCC whatever,
the d triple C. Yeah, I gotta get the third
seed in there. It's one of those places where there
(11:21):
were hundreds of thousands of dollars thrown behind Gibbs because
they thought they thought that he would be an easier
candidate for the Democrat to beat going into the general election.
Be careful what you wish for lives. I think Meyer
was a weeke candidate. He voted for the impeachment of
Donald Trump. He had a lot of He had a
(11:44):
lot of money to spend. He comes from a wealthy
family in the area. I think they family owns like
a supermarket chain, and so yeah, he lost his seat.
Turns out, voting to impeach the sitting president of your
party for absurdity is not a good career move. If
you want to be in the Congress and still be
a Republican, you want to pull Liz Cheney and be
(12:05):
a fake Republican. That's a Democrat. Fine, you go for that. Oh,
Cheney certainly got a lot of attention too. I'm sure
some of you saw this. She had posted a photo
of Kevin Costner with an I'm with Liz or you
know I'm voting for Liz Cheney t shirt on because
you see if you can get a multi multi millionaire
(12:26):
Hollywood liberal who pretends to be a rancher on TV
to support you for a congressional seat in Wyoming where
there are actual ranchers. Yeah, you see how that works.
That is the contempt that Cheney has for people who
actually live in her state. It's hey, let's get this
Hollywood actor who pretends to be one of you to
(12:49):
support me, to fool you into thinking we all share
the same values. Yes, yes, let's have you know. And
I like Kevin Costner and yellow Stone, and you know,
the rumor mill says, he's a pretty nice guy, but
he's a lib. He's a lib. I think the other
election that I want to spend or I should say
referendum that I want to spend some time on, is
(13:12):
what happened in Kansas, because there are important lessons here.
Obviously a red state, a red state, though, where an
effort to allow the state legislature to regulate abortion through
state level legislation was defeated last night in Kansas, not
in Colorado, not in California, in Kansas. So we should
(13:36):
get into why this happened, because if it can happen
there there are some specific circumstances to Kansas, and I'll
explain that, but it is I think it is a
wake up call to the pro life movement when we
need to be aware of going to the midterms. And
you know what else is a wake up call. They
really do want you to just be complacent. They want
(13:56):
you to be sitting around at home and just hope
that they fix the baby formula shortage, hope that there's
food on the shelves for you. A wise person once said,
you got a plan for the best, but prepare for
the worst. Catastrophic events happen. Natural disasters affect far too many,
leaving them in a time of need. Even events we
can see in the horizon, like a forthcoming shortage on
(14:18):
a crucial part of the American farming existence, can affect
all of us. Whether that brings about a food shortage,
we'll see. But whatever the cause, be smart, prepare for
the worst. That's why you'll want to go with Prepare
with Clay and Buck dot com right now. You'll save
fifty dollars on four weeks of emergency food from My
Patriots Supply the nation's largest preparedness company with millions of
(14:42):
customers already well stacked with their food. Kids stocked with
their food. Kids. You should be too, and you'll save
fifty dollars that's right, of fifty dollars savings on each
four week kitch you order when you go to Prepare
with Clay and Buck dot com. Your food chips fast
and free and unmarked boxes for your privacy. Don't at
your family suffer with food shortages. Go to Prepare with
(15:03):
Clay and Buck dot com. Right now. That's Prepare with
Clay and Buck dot Com. Second hour of the Clay
Travis and Buck Sexton Show starts now, Buck solo today
and this week coming to you from New York City.
Clay on vacation, our main man, mister Clay Travis taking
some time with the fam, kicking back, relaxing, doing vacation stuff.
(15:28):
They'll be with us, of course on Monday. And we
have Joe Mansion continuing to take some heat for his
signing onto this bill. I also think cinema, I don't know,
and I one thing I do know is that nobody
can predict the future. So when I say I don't
know what's going to happen, early mean that nobody can
(15:49):
predict the future. But I doubt that Cinema is going
to stand athwart the one hope the Democrats have of
passing some kind of legislation that will of them something
to point to in this midterm election. And see, we
did that, but I thought this was important, and we
(16:09):
just we had so many callers, all from Kansas because
you know, CNN just a moment ago was running on
their chiron at the bottom of the screen, big win
for abortion rights in Kansas. They're really leading into this
obviously very excited about the continued expansive ability to end
(16:33):
life in the womb, I mean, to terminate pregnancies, little
babies in the womb. They think this is something to
be very proud of, very happy about. And what I'm
trying to raise here is everyone's understanding in all the
different states where this is going to play out now
that the left is going to fight really dirty on
(16:53):
this issue. You know, we have a left wing movement
that is all in on abortion at all points in
a pregnancy. And they went from pretending they agreed it
wasn't a good thing to then saying that it should
be celebrated. As you know, they're abortion activist who will
(17:14):
celebrate it. They wear T shirts. Sometimes it's say an
abortion is the best thing ever? Did? I mean, it's
really heinous and evil? But how did Kansas end up
with this referendum losing? Right? The referendum was to change
the state constitution in Kansas. And I don't want to
spend much more time on this, and we have a
lot of the things to get to, but I wanted
you to hear some of the ads that were run
(17:35):
to keep this going place. This confusing constitutional amendment is
a slippery slope for Kansas. It gives government more power
over your privacy and your personal medical decisions. Don't let
politicians take away your freedom. Send a message vote no.
That was a pro abortion at everybody? Did it sound
(17:56):
like a pro abortion at Did it seem like they
were saying, Yeah, a baby at five months is not
a baby, so do whatever you want with it. That
is what they're doing. I want you to understand what
we are up against. That is the kind of thing that, Oh,
they want to take away your freedom and big government's
(18:17):
gonna come after your privacy. Vote no. I think a
lot of people heard that ad. And by the way,
I don't say that I'm not disparaging anybody that heard
the ad and thought this. I'm just saying, people are busy.
People are trying to pay their bills. They're trying to
they hear that out of the goal. I don't like
big government. I like freedom. I like the Constitution. Look
at how disingenuous no mention of abortion. Vote no on
(18:39):
the referendum, no mention of abortion. And this one bothers me.
I mean as much, if not more. They also had
a bunch of Christians, a bunch of clergymen, priests, deacons,
that they were running pro abortion ads with under well,
(19:00):
here's an example. As a pastor for over fifty years,
I counsel and pray with individuals facing difficult personal decisions.
Sometimes those conversations are about abortion. As Christians, we are
instructed to love one another. We did said when we
respect and trust women as God does. I'm voting no
on the proposed amendment because it replaces religious freedom with
(19:22):
government control. It restricts women's rights, and it puts their
very lives at risk. Join me in thousands of Christians
in voting no. I mean, you have got to be
kidding me. This guy says, Oh, I'm a pastor. They
got the little piano in the background. You know, trust
women as God does to kill the babies in their wounds.
(19:45):
Pretty sure, that's a big no. No, this is what
they did. They'll put priests out there, they'll say it's
about freedom. What they won't say is, yeah, you know
you're pregnant. You decide you don't like the guy that
got you pregnant, you and how the baby it's been
a few months, just you know, terminate the pregnancy. That's
(20:05):
what they won't say. What they will say is all
this other stuff. So I want you to understand. I
know I spent more time in it, but it was.
It was stunning what they got away with in Kansas here,
and how just look at the enemy here on this issue,
look at the ideology and the way that they are
going to fight, and understand how we can politically oppose
(20:27):
them effectively. Effectively. Purity always and at all times may
not be the best path forward. We are in a
contest of politics now, so I'm speaking of a contest
of politics now. We can get off that issue. Joe
manshin geral Manhi, he's doing a lot of a lot
(20:47):
of dancing around on TV saying no, it won't raise
tasks at Oh, it's going to do all these great things.
You know, it's just the big evil corporations will hold on.
A second, are major manufacturers corporations? I'm pretty sure major
manufacturers or corporations. And I'm also pretty sure that manufacturers
do a lot of hiring. We want more onshore manufacturing.
(21:08):
This is key to American economic prosperity going forward. So
when the National Association of Manufacturers analysis shows that this
is going to cost the Biden bill a lot of jobs,
this is going to cost GDP growth, what is Joe
Mansion saying about this? JACT found that fifty percent of
(21:30):
those companies would be America's manufacturing companies at a time,
we're Senator Mansion, We're trying to reshore American manufacturing, aren't
we right? Or they're hiring and investing decisions. Well, let
me if you thought it was going to hurt, don't
you think the last two years it would. You have
seen record of capital investments, and you've seen the least
amount of capital investments with record profits. So anything we're
(21:53):
saying is the thing they tell me most is reliability,
making sure this government will let them do their job,
permitting regulations, and that's what we're going to basically accelerate
and stream the line to where people can you know,
we can do things and build things much quicker than
we ever have in the past. That's all part of
this package. So it's going to be wonderful from that endemic.
Oh yeah, it's gonna be wonderful because the senators, the
(22:18):
left wing loons who are pushing this, they know a
lot about how to build things faster and how to
streamline the processes of manufacturing and commercial and economic growth.
They know nothing about that. Oh but all of a
sudden they have a bill that's going to do that
we hadn't heard about until five minutes ago. This is
bare knuckle pure politics. It is Democrats shoveling cash to
(22:41):
what they want and raising taxes to stick it to
those they don't like, right before a midterm election so
they can say, see, we wield power in the name
of the left. Ha ha. The Green New Deal is
getting three hundred billion for energy. Do you think that
money's going to coal and oil and natural gas and nuclear?
(23:02):
How about nuclear? Nuclear? Remember we had a whole whole
time Bush people gave Bush a hard time about that
First of all, a lot of people say nuclear. And
second of all, the decider, I think that's that shl
if that is not a word. Now I'm the decider.
It should be a word. That's a great word. You know,
it makes a lot of sense. It's one we should
(23:23):
add into our lexicon. So back to the Mansion. Here
is here, he's saying stuff and anyone listening to this
is going that doesn't even make sense. And this was
on I think CNBC right was a CNBC yeah, and
a good job because looks the NBC is all about business.
The Association of Manufacturers is saying they hate this bill
(23:43):
Joe Mansion sitting up there soon. But no, this is
gonna make it better for the manufacturers. This is classic Democrat.
They tell you they know what's better for you in
your area of expertise, that they don't know a damn
thing about classic Democrat maneuver. You know, Nancy Pelosi, can't
(24:04):
you just see her? I think the chips manufactured through
this we get into the chips will be so much
they'll taste better, they'll be crisper and not too much salt.
She doesn't know what thing about chips. She knows how
to shovel cash though, and she knows how to push
information about the cash that's getting shoveled to people that
do very well with that information. Just saying. Here is
(24:27):
the continuation, though, of Joe Mansion dodging again when he's asked.
But hey man, the Manufacturing Association is saying this is
really bad for them. Here's what Mansion says. Well, the
National Association Manufacturers disagree. They say that the tax, the
tax in twenty twenty three alone will reduce GDP by
sixty eight point five billion dollars cut labor income by
(24:50):
seventeen point one billion dollars. That's problematic. I've heard also
that the CDC you've heard about that the Joint Tax
I'm signed JCC, the Joint Committee on Taxation, you heard,
and they said it was going to cause the people
paying taxes that made two hundred thousand dollars, which is
absolutely totally alive. So now he's just been reduced to
(25:12):
they're lying that everyone else is wrong and lying about
what this will do to taxes. Everyone else is lying
and wrong about what this will do to manufacturing in jobs. Apparently,
Joe Manchin, who barely by the skin of his teeth
managed to fool just enough West Virginians into voting for
the last time around. And look, we all make mistakes.
I voted for Romney in twenty twelve. What can you know?
So I'm not casting stones? But again, what was the alternative?
(25:35):
But barely managed to hang on? But I think three
percentage points in the last election. And here he is
telling everybody you don't know, you're just a stupid head.
I know I'm better at all the math and the
projections and the economic impact of this. Please right, this
is the Democrats, this is Schumer did a sit down
(25:56):
with them and probably said, look, we all know you're
not going to win reelection. We all know your toast
the next time around? Do you want the apparatus? What?
What do you look? Looking at me? What did I do? Oh?
The team and here is giving me a look did
I do something? Then I just let like a like
a bleep word fly. I'm so fired up right here,
they're giving me crazy looks in New York and I
had nothing to do with me that. They just psyched
(26:17):
me out. Guys. Yeah, look, I think that mansion had
to sit down. What is one of the things I
always tell you and it's so important. Did Democrats have
a whole You're just the word apparatus is in much
wider usage now. I don't know. I'm not going to say,
you know, but it is kind of my word. The
apparatus of the Democrats is so effective at making it
(26:42):
seem they're so effective at making the offer to people,
kind of like Xerxes to the guy who betrays the Persians.
You know, it just throws all the money and all
the power at them or whatever. They're so much better
at getting you that book deal. And I don't know
if you caught that reference to three hundred, which is
just a eight and timeless film, but there's so much
(27:02):
better at throwing the money and book deals and speaking
fees and corporate board seats and all of that. If
you know you want to go the Schumer way and
be invited to the fancy cocktail parties, and you want
to be somebody who gets that quarter of a million
dollars a year contributorship at CNN to show up once
a month, or you want to be a principled person
(27:23):
who does what's best for his state and keeps his
promises like a loser. I think we all know the
answer from Joe Mansion. I think we all know what
we're seeing here. If you own a business and after
the past three years at least you've come to have
a bumpy ride, right, I mean, look at COVID, it's
been insane. How about a break in your favor. If
your business has five or more employees and managed to
(27:45):
survive COVID, you could be eligible to receive a payroll

Butt Sexton Show. I want to take this call from
Katrina in Colorado. You've got to hear about this one. Katrina,
(28:53):
thanks for giving us a ring. Thank you for listening
to me. I'm in nineteen year conservative middle school teacher,
and there's more conservative teachers than I think people realize.
But we need more support from parents still going to
board meetings and and just supporting what their beliefs are.
(29:18):
Kids are changing their pronouns in middle school a lot.
And I have two hundred and fifty kids, and it's
really hard to keep track of weekly what their pronoun
is or what their name is non binary name. So
this is fascinating to be contrained. How many just estimate
how many pronoun changes among the children you teach have
(29:42):
happened in the last year? Roughly? Oh, it depends on
the student. Sometimes it's weekly, sometimes it's so how does
that happen? Like like, take me through this process. I mean,
I obviously haven't been in a middle school and you
know thirty years. Um, so they does does a student
(30:03):
come up to you you say, does like little little
Bob come up to you a little bobby and say teacher,
I now want you to call me she? And do
they change the name or they do? They have alternative
pronouns too, like z or they they things like that.
It really depends on the student. Sometimes you get an
(30:25):
email from the student because they're kind of shy about it,
or you get the counselor telling you, Um, I've never
had a parent tell me. It's either been a student
or a counselor or we hear it, you know, is
it all he or she? He switches or are there
some more creative pronouns that occasionally you are you are
(30:46):
supposed to use? And also do you have concerns that
if you used if you miss gender as a teacher,
are you going to get reprimanded? Um? It's usually he
she sometimes today And yes, I actually went to my
principle and said, because of how I believe that I
(31:09):
wasn't comfortable calling a girl a boy and a boy
a girl. And she gave me a gender discrimination sheet,
so I think that was kind of a subtle, a
subtle hint that I was supposed to play along. But
some of my teacher friends and I that feel the same,
We just decided to call them by their last name
(31:32):
because it's it's hard to keep track of kids nicknames,
and then if there's changing names and then changing pronouns,
it's I had a teacher who refused to call me
Buck in middle school because it was my middle name
and not my first name. So things have changed quite
a bit. I can tell you it goes first names only.
(31:53):
That was quite a quite a difference, Katrina, thanks for
calling it from Colorado and sharing that one. And look
here's I mean love otto. As I was saying before,
formerly on the Disney Channel as an actor has decided
that she she was using they not he pronouns. But
you see this, this is what once you start to
(32:13):
play this game and that it's not objective reality, it's
whatever somebody feels, then you're gonna have to keep changing
it with whatever they feel. And also there's a power
dynamic here because you are expected to comply. If you
don't comply, you're a bigot. This is what they tell you.
So now it's you know they tell you they tell
you to jump, you got to say how high? Now
(32:34):
it's you know, they tell you to dance, you gotta
say to what tune? And this is true of kids. Now,
we just had a teacher call it from Colorado. Sacred
kids change their pronouns all the time, and she's expected
to comply with this. Somebody should ask Joe Biden about this.
Somebody should ask prominent democrats in office do you think
this is normal? They will evade. They will evade right now,
(32:56):
because no person thinks this is reasonable or normal. This
is the month, the season for family reunions. Lots of

news stories and they'll say that someone you know, here's Ethel.
Ethel's one hundred and fifteen years old, and they're like Ethel,
how'd you last so long? She's like, well, I smoked

Frenchies are so much fun. So I send us your
(36:11):
your dog photos and we'll put some up on the website.
Also appreciate all of the the movie and TV references
that people or refer what's the word I'm looking for recommendations,
thank you recommendations that people have been sending in. I
just checked with Carrie le fiancee may we being Sarah,
(36:34):
and we're probably going to be checking out Justified. I
think Justified seems like that's the we that one more
than any other because and also I appreciate that because
that's not at that same level of famous show that
you have would say like a Game of Thrones or
Breaking Bad or one of these massive, massive, mega hit
shows that everybody's heard of, but sounds like a really
good show. I'll check a Long may Er two seems
(36:57):
like a pretty pretty good one for me to see.
One thing that was funny. I was just so curious
about this, so I was looking into the history of
the flat cap. Do you guys know this? So you
ever there? They've been a staple in Anglo Irish and
American culture now for hundreds of years. It's like that,
(37:19):
you know, people in New York used to call them,
I think cabby hats because a lot of cab drivers
used to wear them. They've got a bunch of different names,
but a flat cap. There's there's all these different uh
they call them Newsy caps for the news guys, you know,
the newspaper route guys back in them, like I guess
the twenties or whatever. And I just kind of look.
Because Peaky Blinders, which I am watching now on my
(37:39):
own and is an amazing show, and a lot of
you've written and also saying thank you for the look
by order of the Peaky Blindness. You've got to watch it,
all right. It's so so good. Not for the kids.
It's an adults only kind of a show, but it's
really really good. But I was curious with it so
I actually looked it up because I find that some
of the stories about things like this are fascinating. I
(38:01):
talked not long ago about how the tricorn hat, which
we always think of as George Washington and fifs, and
I think that's what the little flute right to the
sets of fife, right, and you know, the drums and
the revolution and the whole thing. Turns out the track
corn hat actually comes from Spanish mercenaries of the peasant
class in Spain who were then deployed to fight a
(38:25):
war in Flanders. And then those mercenaries came into contact
with the Brits and they realized it made sense to
fold up the hat so that you had more room
for the musket you were carrying during parade maneuvers. That's
where we get try corn hand. It was actually a
wide brimmed hat used in the fields. Anyway. The flat
(38:46):
cap comes from England. In the fifteen seventies they passed
a statute of apparel, which sounds like a law that
means you have to wear a cool clothing. You know,
you gotta look gotta look sharp. The Statute of Apparel,
passed in feen seventy one said that all English citizens
above the age of six except nobility on the Sabbath
(39:07):
and holidays had to wear caps of wool manufactured in England.
And this was to support the burgeoning wool industry. This
was a trade policy thing effectively, or a manufacturing policy
that then turned into hundreds of years of people wearing
these kind of funny looking wool hats in England and
(39:30):
Ireland in the US. So you see these flat caps,
they actually came back in style a little while ago.
You know, the more you know and knowing us half
the bottle. Thanks for rolling with me today, everybody. Great
to have you hanging here. I'll be back tomorrow again.
Clay on vacation so I'll be solo, but I know
we'll have a lot of news talk about and Friday
I'll be down in Florida, get a little bit of sun.
(39:51):
So doing the show from Florida. Looking forward to it.
Team Over and Out Play Travis and Buck Sexton on
the front lines of truth.
Welcome to today's edition of The Clay, Travis and Buck
Sexton Show podcast. Welcome at everybody to the Wednesday edition
of The Clay, Travis and Buck Sexton Show. This is
Buckham here in NYC. Clay on vacation for the week.
He's with the wife and kids having a great time
in Upper Michigan Mackinaw Island, which I hear is quite lovely.
(00:21):
He's having a good time with there. If you see him,
you see a fellow with a swoop of hair and
some flip flops on, some baggy shorts. Ghostly high to Clay.
He's on vacation, but he loves whenever the audience gives
him a high five. We got a lot of news
to get to today. Last night was big night in
the elections. We're gonna dive into that in a second.
Lot of primary stuff going on, some primary drama even
(00:46):
to discuss. You've also got some interesting machinations in DC
where another January sixth defendant had a venue change denied
the DC Circuit Court and the ability to the federal
government to hold anything revolving around January six in that
(01:06):
court and then to deny change of venue. It's like
the Deep States stronghold right now. So they'll try you
in an entirely Democrat city with people that get all
their news from seat down in the Washington Post, hate
anybody that was affiliated with Trump or January sixth, and
you're supposed to get a fair trial according to the
(01:28):
judge because reasons. They don't actually have reasons. It's ridiculous.
Will certainly be discussing that a big gut check moment
for those who have thought in the aftermath of Roe
v Way being overturned that there's going to be a
clear pathway even in very red states. What happened in
(01:50):
Kansas last night is a reminder that the fight for
life is going to require further mobilization. It's going to
require further effort and to get laws passed to defend
as many lives as possible in the womb. It's going
to require politics and an understanding of the political realities Kansas.
(02:11):
Last night there was a loss for the pro life movement.
Some very specific circumstances about these Kansas state constitution and
I'll get into all of it, but a reminder for
all this Joe Mansion still trying to defend the total
turnaround here on hundreds of billions in spending did not
(02:31):
go so well for him in some recent interviews Demi Lavato,
I am vaguely familiar with Demi Lavato. I'm looking at
the team here. I am not a pop culture expert.
You may have picked up on that. As last night
I was going into the phase of the Keegan book
(02:53):
on World War One where he's talking about the Turks
entering into the war or the You know, I'm not
so up on the pop culture stuff. But Debi Levado
is a famous person, a singer, and she became a
he who has now demanded that she be called the
she again. Reversal of the pronouns, folks. So you now
(03:18):
we will talk about that this was inevitable. This was inevitable.
You know. It's a little bit like that game Simon says,
you play. We're kids. You have to do whatever the
person says. Now, you have to give whatever pronouns they
ask for. And remember if you get the wrong pronouns,
you're a bad person. That's what they tell you. So
we have a lot to talk about on that one.
Oh and we're waiting in the meantime for the response
(03:42):
to Pelosi touching down in China. I'm sorry Taiwan. I
just said China. I meant Taiwan. That was actually I
just had Trump in my head there in Taiwan, not
in China. Big, big, central part of the problem here
or the issue Pelosi touching down in Taiwan and the
Chinese getting very upset about this. But what are they
(04:05):
going to do? Nobody knows. I've seen some analysis saying,
let's now, it's the change in the long game, change
in the situation of what the Chinese Communist Party will
do in response to Pelosi's provocation. In their eyes, I
think it's going to be pretty minimal. But as you
see a lot of things, a lot of things squirreling around. Now,
(04:27):
let's dive into the election last night and what we
can take from some of these victories. First of all,
Eric Schmidt has handily beaten in the primary for the
governor's race there Eric Gryten's for US Senates. Did I
say X Missouri Governor Eric Writen's for the US Senate
(04:49):
seat there? So Schmidt has beaten X Missouri Governor Eric
Writen's for that Senate seat in that primary. And that's interest,
especially because in recent days you may have seen Trump.
Trump's team put out there are a lot of Trump endorsements.
We can discuss how that's gone. It seems the Trump
endorsement is still certainly very potent in a lot of
(05:13):
these races. But they put out a statement saying that
Trump effectively supports Eric. I mean that they just said
Eric in the official statement, and that everyone was saying, well,
is that Eric schmidter? Eric writing's trolling comedy, whatever you
want to call it. It turns out Eric Schmidt one,
So congratulations to him. A very big win for Tutor
(05:36):
Dickson in the GOP primary for the governor's race in
Michigan against Gretchen Whitmer. This one I'm gonna be watching eagerly.
You remember, there's gonna be races going on. We got
a huge mid term all over the country. We're gonna
focus in on the ones that are the most important
(05:57):
at the national level, or that highlights some issue that
is important I think beyond just the political realities of
one district or or one region of a state. Gretchen Whittmer,
after Cuomo and Newsom, I think you'd have to say
was the single or she she was Well, let's say third.
(06:17):
She was the third most vociferous lockdown proponent of any
of the governors, right, I feel like it was Cuomo
was number. Faucci was at the top of the authoritarian
COVID pyramid. And then you had Cuomo no longer governor,
and Gavin Newsom of California, and they were in a
(06:39):
little bit of a contest to see who could do
the most pointless COVID theater of and they kept kept
doing it, of course, and then you had I think
Gretchen Whittmer right below that. Let's let's all recall Gretchen
Whitmer used to do TV hits with a embroidered Fauci
(07:00):
hello behind her, specifically placed in her cable news shots
where she was going, Oh, yeah, we're just gonna triple
mask your kids and we're gonna just shut down everything
and I'm gonna keep you safe. And it didn't work.
It was pointless, but she had a Fauci pillow that
she kept right there in the shot, a little shrine
(07:21):
to Fauci, to tiny Fauci. What else do you really
have to know? I whatever I can do, whatever Clay
and I can do. He's up in Michigan right now,
to help Tutor Dixon defeat Gretchen Whitmer in that Michigan
gubernatorial race. You could count me in. She needs Whitmer
needs to go. She needs to be out of that office.
(07:45):
She needs to pay the price for her COVID lunacy,
her lack of courage, her poor decision making, and the
immiseration of so many people in her state for no
good reason. In fact, it was just a Democrat fad,
a kind of mass psychological mass delusion. And I think
(08:08):
that's a really important one. So we have that. We
also saw last night our friend Blake Masters, who we
had just had on the show recently. He is now
going to be Is it officially called yet? Did the
producer rally? Did they officially call for Masters? I know
carry Lake says she's got it in the bag, but
her opponent is saying, Robson is saying, this is for
(08:30):
the Arizona Governor's primary, Republican primary. Carry Lake, who we've
had on many times. I've gotten a chance to speak
to Carry a bit on the issues outside of Radio
two and as very it's a formidable candidate. Looks like
she's gonna win, but there's still some counting going. I
think it's not officially called yet. I believe Blake Masters
(08:52):
has it has been officially called. I mean, this is
he He's going to be the Republican Republican contender square.
He was way head in the polls squaring off against
Mark Kelly for that Arizona Senate seat. So those are
And if, by the way, if there's a big one
in your state that I am leaving out by all means,

Please become a VIP. By the way, subscribe to us.
We've got a video up there. We've got a YouTube
channel I'm trying to work on. When I do I
get in the habit of doing radio and I kind
of just look around me because I'm you know, I'm
in the zone, man. And I realized I need to
(09:34):
look into the camera more for YouTube purposes during during radio.
So that's something you can do when you go to
Clay and Buck dot com or just subscribe to or
YouTube channel. And if we left if I left out
any really important race last night, at this stage, I
would say, let me know and I'll get back into it.
But the the Dickson victory backed by Trump. I mean,
(09:56):
you look at the whole range of people, Um, from
the oh oh, and there is there is another one
that got a lot of attention. Uh one. One big
thing from last night was that you have this, uh,
this Republican Member of Congress Uh Meyer right up up
(10:18):
in West Michigan. UM. He's an incumbent and he is
one of these guys who lost to a contender on
the other side who was actually getting some Democrat money.
This is and John Gibbs. Congratulations to John Gibbs. He
(10:40):
he is a now candidate for the Michigan third Congressional district.
Gibbs is backed by Trump. He is very maga, he
is an African American, and he ended up beating Meyer
in this primary. So Meyer got primary. He voted to
impeach Trump. And this is one of these places where
(11:01):
the Democrats spent a few hundred thousand dollars supporting Gibbs.
And this was official. DCC is a DCCC. There we go.
I gotta get the last Democrat congressional cano DCC whatever,
the d triple C. Yeah, I gotta get the third
seed in there. It's one of those places where there
(11:21):
were hundreds of thousands of dollars thrown behind Gibbs because
they thought they thought that he would be an easier
candidate for the Democrat to beat going into the general election.
Be careful what you wish for lives. I think Meyer
was a weeke candidate. He voted for the impeachment of
Donald Trump. He had a lot of He had a
(11:44):
lot of money to spend. He comes from a wealthy
family in the area. I think they family owns like
a supermarket chain, and so yeah, he lost his seat.
Turns out, voting to impeach the sitting president of your
party for absurdity is not a good career move. If
you want to be in the Congress and still be
a Republican, you want to pull Liz Cheney and be
(12:05):
a fake Republican. That's a Democrat. Fine, you go for that. Oh,
Cheney certainly got a lot of attention too. I'm sure
some of you saw this. She had posted a photo
of Kevin Costner with an I'm with Liz or you
know I'm voting for Liz Cheney t shirt on because
you see if you can get a multi multi millionaire
(12:26):
Hollywood liberal who pretends to be a rancher on TV
to support you for a congressional seat in Wyoming where
there are actual ranchers. Yeah, you see how that works.
That is the contempt that Cheney has for people who
actually live in her state. It's hey, let's get this
Hollywood actor who pretends to be one of you to
(12:49):
support me, to fool you into thinking we all share
the same values. Yes, yes, let's have you know. And
I like Kevin Costner and yellow Stone, and you know,
the rumor mill says, he's a pretty nice guy, but
he's a lib. He's a lib. I think the other
election that I want to spend or I should say
referendum that I want to spend some time on, is
(13:12):
what happened in Kansas, because there are important lessons here.
Obviously a red state, a red state, though, where an
effort to allow the state legislature to regulate abortion through
state level legislation was defeated last night in Kansas, not
in Colorado, not in California, in Kansas. So we should
(13:36):
get into why this happened, because if it can happen
there there are some specific circumstances to Kansas, and I'll
explain that, but it is I think it is a
wake up call to the pro life movement when we
need to be aware of going to the midterms. And
you know what else is a wake up call. They
really do want you to just be complacent. They want
(13:56):
you to be sitting around at home and just hope
that they fix the baby formula shortage, hope that there's
food on the shelves for you. A wise person once said,
you got a plan for the best, but prepare for
the worst. Catastrophic events happen. Natural disasters affect far too many,
leaving them in a time of need. Even events we
can see in the horizon, like a forthcoming shortage on
(14:18):
a crucial part of the American farming existence, can affect
all of us. Whether that brings about a food shortage,
we'll see. But whatever the cause, be smart, prepare for
the worst. That's why you'll want to go with Prepare
with Clay and Buck dot com right now. You'll save
fifty dollars on four weeks of emergency food from My
Patriots Supply the nation's largest preparedness company with millions of

Travis and Buck Sexton Show starts now, Buck solo today
and this week coming to you from New York City.
Clay on vacation, our main man, mister Clay Travis taking
some time with the fam, kicking back, relaxing, doing vacation stuff.
(15:28):
They'll be with us, of course on Monday. And we
have Joe Mansion continuing to take some heat for his
signing onto this bill. I also think cinema, I don't know,
and I one thing I do know is that nobody
can predict the future. So when I say I don't
know what's going to happen, early mean that nobody can
(15:49):
predict the future. But I doubt that Cinema is going
to stand athwart the one hope the Democrats have of
passing some kind of legislation that will of them something
to point to in this midterm election. And see, we
did that, but I thought this was important, and we
(16:09):
just we had so many callers, all from Kansas because
you know, CNN just a moment ago was running on
their chiron at the bottom of the screen, big win
for abortion rights in Kansas. They're really leading into this
obviously very excited about the continued expansive ability to end
(16:33):
life in the womb, I mean, to terminate pregnancies, little
babies in the womb. They think this is something to
be very proud of, very happy about. And what I'm
trying to raise here is everyone's understanding in all the
different states where this is going to play out now
that the left is going to fight really dirty on
(16:53):
this issue. You know, we have a left wing movement
that is all in on abortion at all points in
a pregnancy. And they went from pretending they agreed it
wasn't a good thing to then saying that it should
be celebrated. As you know, they're abortion activist who will
(17:14):
celebrate it. They wear T shirts. Sometimes it's say an
abortion is the best thing ever? Did? I mean, it's
really heinous and evil? But how did Kansas end up
with this referendum losing? Right? The referendum was to change
the state constitution in Kansas. And I don't want to
spend much more time on this, and we have a
lot of the things to get to, but I wanted
you to hear some of the ads that were run
(17:35):
to keep this going place. This confusing constitutional amendment is
a slippery slope for Kansas. It gives government more power
over your privacy and your personal medical decisions. Don't let
politicians take away your freedom. Send a message vote no.
That was a pro abortion at everybody? Did it sound
(17:56):
like a pro abortion at Did it seem like they
were saying, Yeah, a baby at five months is not
a baby, so do whatever you want with it. That
is what they're doing. I want you to understand what
we are up against. That is the kind of thing that, Oh,
they want to take away your freedom and big government's
(18:17):
gonna come after your privacy. Vote no. I think a
lot of people heard that ad. And by the way,
I don't say that I'm not disparaging anybody that heard
the ad and thought this. I'm just saying, people are busy.
People are trying to pay their bills. They're trying to
they hear that out of the goal. I don't like
big government. I like freedom. I like the Constitution. Look
at how disingenuous no mention of abortion. Vote no on
(18:39):
the referendum, no mention of abortion. And this one bothers me.
I mean as much, if not more. They also had
a bunch of Christians, a bunch of clergymen, priests, deacons,
that they were running pro abortion ads with under well,
(19:00):
here's an example. As a pastor for over fifty years,
I counsel and pray with individuals facing difficult personal decisions.
Sometimes those conversations are about abortion. As Christians, we are
instructed to love one another. We did said when we
respect and trust women as God does. I'm voting no
on the proposed amendment because it replaces religious freedom with
(19:22):
government control. It restricts women's rights, and it puts their
very lives at risk. Join me in thousands of Christians
in voting no. I mean, you have got to be
kidding me. This guy says, Oh, I'm a pastor. They
got the little piano in the background. You know, trust
women as God does to kill the babies in their wounds.
(19:45):
Pretty sure, that's a big no. No, this is what
they did. They'll put priests out there, they'll say it's
about freedom. What they won't say is, yeah, you know
you're pregnant. You decide you don't like the guy that
got you pregnant, you and how the baby it's been
a few months, just you know, terminate the pregnancy. That's
(20:05):
what they won't say. What they will say is all
this other stuff. So I want you to understand. I
know I spent more time in it, but it was.
It was stunning what they got away with in Kansas here,
and how just look at the enemy here on this issue,
look at the ideology and the way that they are
going to fight, and understand how we can politically oppose
(20:27):
them effectively. Effectively. Purity always and at all times may
not be the best path forward. We are in a
contest of politics now, so I'm speaking of a contest
of politics now. We can get off that issue. Joe
manshin geral Manhi, he's doing a lot of a lot
(20:47):
of dancing around on TV saying no, it won't raise
tasks at Oh, it's going to do all these great things.
You know, it's just the big evil corporations will hold on.
A second, are major manufacturers corporations? I'm pretty sure major
manufacturers or corporations. And I'm also pretty sure that manufacturers
do a lot of hiring. We want more onshore manufacturing.
(21:08):
This is key to American economic prosperity going forward. So
when the National Association of Manufacturers analysis shows that this
is going to cost the Biden bill a lot of jobs,
this is going to cost GDP growth, what is Joe
Mansion saying about this? JACT found that fifty percent of
(21:30):
those companies would be America's manufacturing companies at a time,
we're Senator Mansion, We're trying to reshore American manufacturing, aren't
we right? Or they're hiring and investing decisions. Well, let
me if you thought it was going to hurt, don't
you think the last two years it would. You have
seen record of capital investments, and you've seen the least
amount of capital investments with record profits. So anything we're
(21:53):
saying is the thing they tell me most is reliability,
making sure this government will let them do their job,
permitting regulations, and that's what we're going to basically accelerate
and stream the line to where people can you know,
we can do things and build things much quicker than
we ever have in the past. That's all part of
this package. So it's going to be wonderful from that endemic.
Oh yeah, it's gonna be wonderful because the senators, the
(22:18):
left wing loons who are pushing this, they know a
lot about how to build things faster and how to
streamline the processes of manufacturing and commercial and economic growth.
They know nothing about that. Oh but all of a
sudden they have a bill that's going to do that
we hadn't heard about until five minutes ago. This is
bare knuckle pure politics. It is Democrats shoveling cash to
(22:41):
what they want and raising taxes to stick it to
those they don't like, right before a midterm election so
they can say, see, we wield power in the name
of the left. Ha ha. The Green New Deal is
getting three hundred billion for energy. Do you think that
money's going to coal and oil and natural gas and nuclear?
(23:02):
How about nuclear? Nuclear? Remember we had a whole whole
time Bush people gave Bush a hard time about that
First of all, a lot of people say nuclear. And
second of all, the decider, I think that's that shl
if that is not a word. Now I'm the decider.
It should be a word. That's a great word. You know,
it makes a lot of sense. It's one we should
(23:23):
add into our lexicon. So back to the Mansion. Here
is here, he's saying stuff and anyone listening to this
is going that doesn't even make sense. And this was
on I think CNBC right was a CNBC yeah, and
a good job because looks the NBC is all about business.
The Association of Manufacturers is saying they hate this bill
(23:43):
Joe Mansion sitting up there soon. But no, this is
gonna make it better for the manufacturers. This is classic Democrat.
They tell you they know what's better for you in
your area of expertise, that they don't know a damn
thing about classic Democrat maneuver. You know, Nancy Pelosi, can't
(24:04):
you just see her? I think the chips manufactured through
this we get into the chips will be so much
they'll taste better, they'll be crisper and not too much salt.
She doesn't know what thing about chips. She knows how
to shovel cash though, and she knows how to push
information about the cash that's getting shoveled to people that
do very well with that information. Just saying. Here is
(24:27):
the continuation, though, of Joe Mansion dodging again when he's asked.
But hey man, the Manufacturing Association is saying this is
really bad for them. Here's what Mansion says. Well, the
National Association Manufacturers disagree. They say that the tax, the
tax in twenty twenty three alone will reduce GDP by
sixty eight point five billion dollars cut labor income by
(24:50):
seventeen point one billion dollars. That's problematic. I've heard also
that the CDC you've heard about that the Joint Tax
I'm signed JCC, the Joint Committee on Taxation, you heard,
and they said it was going to cause the people
paying taxes that made two hundred thousand dollars, which is
absolutely totally alive. So now he's just been reduced to
(25:12):
they're lying that everyone else is wrong and lying about
what this will do to taxes. Everyone else is lying
and wrong about what this will do to manufacturing in jobs. Apparently,
Joe Manchin, who barely by the skin of his teeth
managed to fool just enough West Virginians into voting for
the last time around. And look, we all make mistakes.
I voted for Romney in twenty twelve. What can you know?
So I'm not casting stones? But again, what was the alternative?
(25:35):
But barely managed to hang on? But I think three
percentage points in the last election. And here he is
telling everybody you don't know, you're just a stupid head.
I know I'm better at all the math and the
projections and the economic impact of this. Please right, this
is the Democrats, this is Schumer did a sit down
(25:56):
with them and probably said, look, we all know you're
not going to win reelection. We all know your toast
the next time around? Do you want the apparatus? What?
What do you look? Looking at me? What did I do? Oh?
The team and here is giving me a look did
I do something? Then I just let like a like
a bleep word fly. I'm so fired up right here,
they're giving me crazy looks in New York and I
had nothing to do with me that. They just psyched
(26:17):
me out. Guys. Yeah, look, I think that mansion had
to sit down. What is one of the things I
always tell you and it's so important. Did Democrats have
a whole You're just the word apparatus is in much
wider usage now. I don't know. I'm not going to say,
you know, but it is kind of my word. The
apparatus of the Democrats is so effective at making it
(26:42):
seem they're so effective at making the offer to people,
kind of like Xerxes to the guy who betrays the Persians.
You know, it just throws all the money and all
the power at them or whatever. They're so much better
at getting you that book deal. And I don't know
if you caught that reference to three hundred, which is
just a eight and timeless film, but there's so much
(27:02):
better at throwing the money and book deals and speaking
fees and corporate board seats and all of that. If
you know you want to go the Schumer way and
be invited to the fancy cocktail parties, and you want
to be somebody who gets that quarter of a million
dollars a year contributorship at CNN to show up once
a month, or you want to be a principled person
(27:23):
who does what's best for his state and keeps his
promises like a loser. I think we all know the
answer from Joe Mansion. I think we all know what
we're seeing here. If you own a business and after
the past three years at least you've come to have
a bumpy ride, right, I mean, look at COVID, it's
been insane. How about a break in your favor. If
your business has five or more employees and managed to
(27:45):
survive COVID, you could be eligible to receive a payroll
tax rebate of up to twenty six thousand dollars per employee.

Get refunds dot Com. Welcome back to the Clay Travisan
Butt Sexton Show. I want to take this call from
Katrina in Colorado. You've got to hear about this one. Katrina,
(28:53):
thanks for giving us a ring. Thank you for listening
to me. I'm in nineteen year conservative middle school teacher,
and there's more conservative teachers than I think people realize.
But we need more support from parents still going to
board meetings and and just supporting what their beliefs are.
(29:18):
Kids are changing their pronouns in middle school a lot.
And I have two hundred and fifty kids, and it's
really hard to keep track of weekly what their pronoun
is or what their name is non binary name. So
this is fascinating to be contrained. How many just estimate
how many pronoun changes among the children you teach have
(29:42):
happened in the last year? Roughly? Oh, it depends on
the student. Sometimes it's weekly, sometimes it's so how does
that happen? Like like, take me through this process. I mean,
I obviously haven't been in a middle school and you
know thirty years. Um, so they does does a student
(30:03):
come up to you you say, does like little little
Bob come up to you a little bobby and say teacher,
I now want you to call me she? And do
they change the name or they do? They have alternative
pronouns too, like z or they they things like that.
It really depends on the student. Sometimes you get an
(30:25):
email from the student because they're kind of shy about it,
or you get the counselor telling you, Um, I've never
had a parent tell me. It's either been a student
or a counselor or we hear it, you know, is
it all he or she? He switches or are there
some more creative pronouns that occasionally you are you are
(30:46):
supposed to use? And also do you have concerns that
if you used if you miss gender as a teacher,
are you going to get reprimanded? Um? It's usually he
she sometimes today And yes, I actually went to my
principle and said, because of how I believe that I
(31:09):
wasn't comfortable calling a girl a boy and a boy
a girl. And she gave me a gender discrimination sheet,
so I think that was kind of a subtle, a
subtle hint that I was supposed to play along. But
some of my teacher friends and I that feel the same,
We just decided to call them by their last name
(31:32):
because it's it's hard to keep track of kids nicknames,
and then if there's changing names and then changing pronouns,
it's I had a teacher who refused to call me
Buck in middle school because it was my middle name
and not my first name. So things have changed quite
a bit. I can tell you it goes first names only.
(31:53):
That was quite a quite a difference, Katrina, thanks for
calling it from Colorado and sharing that one. And look
here's I mean love otto. As I was saying before,
formerly on the Disney Channel as an actor has decided
that she she was using they not he pronouns. But
you see this, this is what once you start to
(32:13):
play this game and that it's not objective reality, it's
whatever somebody feels, then you're gonna have to keep changing
it with whatever they feel. And also there's a power
dynamic here because you are expected to comply. If you
don't comply, you're a bigot. This is what they tell you.
So now it's you know they tell you they tell
you to jump, you got to say how high? Now
(32:34):
it's you know, they tell you to dance, you gotta
say to what tune? And this is true of kids. Now,
we just had a teacher call it from Colorado. Sacred
kids change their pronouns all the time, and she's expected
to comply with this. Somebody should ask Joe Biden about this.
Somebody should ask prominent democrats in office do you think
this is normal? They will evade. They will evade right now,
(32:56):
because no person thinks this is reasonable or normal. This
is the month, the season for family reunions. Lots of
fun and lots of love at events. But how much

(36:11):
your dog photos and we'll put some up on the website.
Also appreciate all of the the movie and TV references
that people or refer what's the word I'm looking for recommendations,
thank you recommendations that people have been sending in. I
just checked with Carrie le fiancee may we being Sarah,
(36:34):
and we're probably going to be checking out Justified. I
think Justified seems like that's the we that one more
than any other because and also I appreciate that because
that's not at that same level of famous show that
you have would say like a Game of Thrones or
Breaking Bad or one of these massive, massive, mega hit
shows that everybody's heard of, but sounds like a really
good show. I'll check a Long may Er two seems
(36:57):
like a pretty pretty good one for me to see.
One thing that was funny. I was just so curious
about this, so I was looking into the history of
the flat cap. Do you guys know this? So you
ever there? They've been a staple in Anglo Irish and
American culture now for hundreds of years. It's like that,
(37:19):
you know, people in New York used to call them,
I think cabby hats because a lot of cab drivers
used to wear them. They've got a bunch of different names,
but a flat cap. There's there's all these different uh
they call them Newsy caps for the news guys, you know,
the newspaper route guys back in them, like I guess
the twenties or whatever. And I just kind of look.
Because Peaky Blinders, which I am watching now on my
(37:39):
own and is an amazing show, and a lot of
you've written and also saying thank you for the look
by order of the Peaky Blindness. You've got to watch it,
all right. It's so so good. Not for the kids.
It's an adults only kind of a show, but it's
really really good. But I was curious with it so
I actually looked it up because I find that some
of the stories about things like this are fascinating. I
(38:01):
talked not long ago about how the tricorn hat, which
we always think of as George Washington and fifs, and
I think that's what the little flute right to the
sets of fife, right, and you know, the drums and
the revolution and the whole thing. Turns out the track
corn hat actually comes from Spanish mercenaries of the peasant
class in Spain who were then deployed to fight a
(38:25):
war in Flanders. And then those mercenaries came into contact
with the Brits and they realized it made sense to
fold up the hat so that you had more room
for the musket you were carrying during parade maneuvers. That's
where we get try corn hand. It was actually a
wide brimmed hat used in the fields. Anyway. The flat
(38:46):
cap comes from England. In the fifteen seventies they passed
a statute of apparel, which sounds like a law that
means you have to wear a cool clothing. You know,
you gotta look gotta look sharp. The Statute of Apparel,
passed in feen seventy one said that all English citizens
above the age of six except nobility on the Sabbath
(39:07):
and holidays had to wear caps of wool manufactured in England.
And this was to support the burgeoning wool industry. This
was a trade policy thing effectively, or a manufacturing policy
that then turned into hundreds of years of people wearing
these kind of funny looking wool hats in England and
(39:30):
Ireland in the US. So you see these flat caps,
they actually came back in style a little while ago.
You know, the more you know and knowing us half
the bottle. Thanks for rolling with me today, everybody. Great
to have you hanging here. I'll be back tomorrow again.
Clay on vacation so I'll be solo, but I know
we'll have a lot of news talk about and Friday
I'll be down in Florida, get a little bit of sun.
(39:51):
So doing the show from Florida. Looking forward to it.
