Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome in Friday edition. Heading into the long Memorial Day weekend,
some of you probably listening to us. I bet a
lot of you already on the road headed somewhere for
the Memorial Day weekend. A lot of you will be
listening on podcast later this afternoon or evening as you
(00:21):
begin your travels. As soon as we finish this show,
I'm going to knock out a hit with Martha McCollum
and Fox News, and then Buck, I am going to
join some they say forty five million or so Americans
who are going to be going somewhere over the weekend.
I'm gonna be driving with my kids and my wife
down to the Florida Gulf Coast where I will be
(00:43):
for the weekend, and I know many of you out
there will be traveling around quite a lot as well.
Keep your heads on a swivel, Buck, This has been
the kind of time Friday, going into a holiday weekend
where there is often a lot of news drive about
four o'clock Eastern or so that they hope will get
(01:04):
lost in all the shuffle and all the moving parts
that might well happen today as well. Who knows what
that might be, but just FYI as we are speaking
to you though, a little after noon eastern on the
East Coast. Donald Trump's rally in the Bronx twenty five thirty,
twenty thousand, whatever you want the number of the official
(01:27):
tally to have been was an absolute home run. And
even members of the media on CNN last night, we're
having to acknowledge that it might make the Biden administration
a little bit nervous about how many people Trump is
turning out here. CNN reporter Kristen Holmes talking about that
(01:47):
rally in the Bronx, Well, certainly.
Speaker 2 (01:48):
A bigger crowd than I think Democrats have like to see,
particularly given.
Speaker 3 (01:51):
This as one of the bluest counties for the entire country.
Speaker 4 (01:55):
Now, one of the things that was interesting teen years
with the Trump campaigns that.
Speaker 3 (01:57):
That they're going to micro target to get people from
the community to come to this rally. I wasn't sure
what to expect. I've gone to a lot of these
rallies across the country, and there are often people who
travel hundreds of miles to see Donald Trump, and they're
not necessarily part of the community. However, one of the
things that I found was that there were a lot.
Speaker 4 (02:14):
Of people here that were actually from the promps.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
Okay, I thought, Buck, first of all, that's a really
good sign. Cut five year to me contrasts so perfectly
with what Biden said in his Morehouse commencement address where
he tried to tell black people they're all victims. Listen
to cut five here, which I thought got to a
really strong pitch of Trump twenty twenty four.
Speaker 3 (02:38):
Cut five the minute crooked show. Biden shuffles out the door.
I will rapidly rebuild.
Speaker 5 (02:43):
The greatest economy the history.
Speaker 3 (02:45):
Of the world.
Speaker 5 (02:45):
Look, we had the greatest economy and history. Everybody here
where you have a small business or if you had
a job, you were getting more than you ever made.
And we had no inflation. We had no one point
four percent considered none, considered better than none because frankly
none in.
Speaker 3 (03:00):
His own way as a bad thing.
Speaker 5 (03:01):
Well, so we had a perfect number, one point four percent.
It doesn't matter whether you're black or brown, or white,
or whatever the hell color you are.
Speaker 3 (03:11):
It doesn't matter.
Speaker 5 (03:12):
We are all Americans, and we're going to pull together
as Americans.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
Uniquely Well said in his own Trump vernacular, Buck, you
are a lifelong New York City resident. I believe all
the storylines that I saw said Ronald Reagan in nineteen
eighty was the last Republican candidate to visit the Bronx.
Forty some odd years later, Trump is back. What was
your take as a lifelong New York City resident as
(03:39):
you watched the rally and saw the reaction to it
from the Bronx. I think Trump is going to overperform
in New York in the upcoming election. I can't say
that he's going to win New York because that is
a that is not a call on a state. That
is a call in the entire election, and that would
be certainly electoral college landslide territory. But I do think
(04:02):
he's going to do better than he did the last
time around. Remember, I understand twenty twenty two was disappointing,
but lee Zelden closed the gap a lot.
Speaker 6 (04:13):
Now.
Speaker 7 (04:13):
Trump got blown out, has gotten blown out in New
York in the past.
Speaker 3 (04:18):
I have to go look at what the numbers are.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
Twenty three points he lost in twenty twenty five. The
latest sien Pol has him down nine single digits. Lee
Zelden lost by about five and a half points. That's
the context of the last couple of years.
Speaker 3 (04:31):
There we go.
Speaker 7 (04:32):
So you know, we're not delusional here. The numbers are
what we think they are. I was going to say
he must have lost by over twenty. He did, and
now meaning Trump, and this time around, he's cutting it
down to single digits. I think that Trump is going
to be within single digits in New York when all
said and done again, you know, close, but no, Cigar
(04:54):
doesn't get it done for the election. But I do
think he's going to be in single digits because there
is a tremendous frustration with not only the the ineptitude
of Biden, but I think also more and more people
are seeing what they're doing to Trump.
Speaker 3 (05:09):
And it's just out. It's just outrageous. I mean, it
truly is.
Speaker 7 (05:14):
Beyond anything that could be considered acceptable in a you know, republic,
in a free society. Remember Lee Zelden did well. I mean,
you know, you know, he didn't manage to be the governor,
but he did well. But because he did well enough
in New York, Long Island is red. I mean Long
Island is now like a bigger version of Staten Island
(05:34):
in terms of its politics. Like Long Island has become
solid red in terms of congressional districts. I think there's
one that we remember there was like a special election
that didn't go our way. But you know, that was
a tough one. But generally speaking, Long Island has gone
in the red direction. That was an off year, so
it's tough to really say what that's all about. I
(05:55):
think that Trump is going to be very well in
New York. I think that also the when you see
Donald Trump making the appeal that he did to this
crowd and the response that people have.
Speaker 3 (06:06):
Uh, I mean, here's I love this.
Speaker 7 (06:07):
You see this guy, this is a and is this
from I want to make sure we credit some of
the folks who are out there doing the on the
ground reporting. I think this is Savannah hernandez uh for
turning point. But let me know, guys if I'm wrong
on that one. This is number two. It's a Bronx
resident who I know. I just want you to hear
from a guy who lives in the Bronx, who is
(06:29):
who is a minority, and this is what he thinks
about Trump coming into this area and given the speech
play it.
Speaker 8 (06:36):
I'm here, well to my star the Trump gathering rout here.
What do you think about a meaning I think is great.
I think it's dope. I well, from from my generation,
from what I know, this is the first time president
has actually came to the hood. I know presidents came
to the Bronx before, but we're talking about Woodlawn, Riverdale.
He has came to Marrisania, South Bronx.
Speaker 7 (07:00):
So I respect that got a guy in the Bronx,
Like I respect the President quoting this gentleman saying he's
come to the hood and that it is dope. And
I just think it's interesting because that's a word that,
like I grew up, everybody in New York was using
that word. That was how we said cool. Right, something's dope.
But I gotta tell you, did you guys have that
in Nashville?
Speaker 3 (07:21):
Just I didn't ever use the word dope.
Speaker 1 (07:23):
But I did think it was funny when I heard
that guy because it did feel like a callback to
the early two thousands. That guy who was being interviewed
probably fifty five something like that, fifty something, real black guy, right,
I mean, yeah, yeah, yeah, and just based on you know,
guessing his age.
Speaker 7 (07:40):
But look, the thing is, there was a fun atmosphere
out there. You see all these videos and you hear
the Trump speech and Clay, you know, okay, maybe, and
there's all the all the haters that you know, Trump
is not going to do anything. He's not going to
change in these demographics you know of voting wise, we
got to remember this. This is the guy that they
say is a a horrible racist.
Speaker 3 (08:01):
White nationalist.
Speaker 7 (08:02):
Yeah, and at some point I think more and more
people who have been told that who aren't Republicans haven't
voted for Trump before, but see this and go, that's
exactly what I said. Trump actually just loves people. He
loves people, He wants people to love him, and he
has a way of connecting that actually has nothing to
(08:23):
do with race or gender or anything else. He just
loves to be in a crowd and wants to celebrate America.
And you can trast that. You already said this with
the Biden speech at Morehouse. Biden's speech at Morehouse was
a disgrace.
Speaker 3 (08:35):
Yeah, it was.
Speaker 1 (08:37):
And I also think it's evidence of starting to be
a little bit of a panic on the Democrat side.
When you panic, you start to take bigger risks than
you otherwise would, and you start to rely on things
that have worked in the past. More aggressively. And I
just think on your point, there's a lot more skepticism
(08:59):
of of what people are told by the media than
ever before. In the wake of COVID, people just have
the sense that they can't trust authority figures in the
same way. And I even thought this black woman who
was interviewed, I thought this was really funny. I'd encourage
you to actually go find the video itself. But cut six,
she's asked, what would you say to a black person
(09:21):
that says you're not black if you're voting for Trump?
Remember that's what Joe Biden himself said during twenty twenty.
Speaker 7 (09:28):
He said it to the Breakfast to the Breakfast ct
on iHeart, Yeah, I listened to cut six.
Speaker 6 (09:35):
Trump sound like Trump.
Speaker 9 (09:36):
Because he's basically representing us, and everything that they're doing
to him is what they can do to us. And
the system is broken, and you know, he's fighter for us,
you know. So I like his policies. I like how
he says it like it is and you know, in
fighting gotta go, you think of that.
Speaker 3 (09:57):
And what would you say to a black person that
says that you're not because you're voted for.
Speaker 9 (10:00):
Trumble Weda and I guess I identify as a white
I don't know. I don't care what anybody has to say.
I'm a mother, I care about the future of my child,
and I care about policies over you know.
Speaker 1 (10:17):
Rhetorics so well said. I mean, remember we're talking about
people just in a park. You know, you know, you
don't know what you're gonna get on the spot. To say, well,
I guess I identify as a white man is very funny.
But I think her answer goes to seeing through the
whyes that have been spread so much over the last
seven or eight years.
Speaker 7 (10:35):
I mean, this idea that Joe Biden has some special
connection to and cares about the black community, which he
he himself Biden constantly tries to position himself that way.
It's just nonsense. Yeah, Joe Biden just wants votes from
the black community. Joe Biden has done nothing of note
for the black community. The only thing they can point
(10:57):
to for you know, on the on the Democrat talking
point side of things, they'll say, well, he's put more people, Uh,
he's he's had more DEI like, he's getting a lot
of a female minority federal judges confirmed, by the way,
just they're doing that as fast as they can.
Speaker 3 (11:12):
That's one thing that's going on.
Speaker 1 (11:13):
And a lot of a lot of these DEI hires
are just did you see the U c l A story.
Speaker 3 (11:18):
I mean, this is blowing up. We're going to talk
to Heather McDonald about that one.
Speaker 7 (11:21):
Yeah, yeah, just to give you a little preview that
We've got a bunch of guests coming on the show today.
We've got Heather McDonald, We've got Bernie Marino running for
Ohio GOP Senate, and we'll talk to him about whether
they should change the state constitution to allow Biden the ballot.
And then our friend Jesse Kelly for some fun in
the third hour. I don't know if you've heard about.
Speaker 3 (11:39):
Red Lobster, but it's like Jesse's not going to get
that red lobster sponsor.
Speaker 7 (11:44):
But we uh will break down all that. But Heather McDonald,
the story that I want to talk to or we
want to talk to her about, is internal data from
UCLA Medical School that has Look, it's just there are
minorities in the medical school who are grossly under qualified
and being pushed through grossly underqualified to practice medicine at
the level they're supposed to at what is considered an
(12:06):
elite medical school that takes one percent of applicants, and
they just keep And there's a woman who runs admissions
there who is an absolute zealot.
Speaker 3 (12:14):
She is a zealot.
Speaker 7 (12:15):
If she has to take somebody who can barely read,
if she has to take somebody who has bottom of
the of the barrel MCAT scores, she does not care.
It's a I forget her name. But and there's a
white woman who runs admissions there. And we're talking to
Heather McDonald about it, because this has huge downstream implications
(12:36):
for obviously the medical world, but also just it's unconstitutional, Clay.
This is part of the problem. This is we've gone
so far in the direction of race based hiring and
race based you know, affirmative action, all these things that
even after the Supreme Court says, you know, you can't
do this, right, all.
Speaker 3 (12:53):
These places are still doing it.
Speaker 7 (12:55):
They're just trying to find ways to hide that they're
doing it. And I think that when Trump goes and
he speaks in an area that's I said seventy five percent.
I checked that out afterwards. It is just about that.
It's about seventy five percent black and Hispanic and he's talking.
Speaker 3 (13:10):
He is talking to.
Speaker 7 (13:11):
Them as fellow human beings that he wants to represent
and help get wealthier and help chase the American dream.
He's not saying everything stinks and the other people are
horrible and if you don't vote for me, nothing good
can happen to you. Well, he might say a little
bit of that, because Biden's horrible, but he's not saying
that America sucks.
Speaker 1 (13:31):
You're gonna get put in chains or your art, your
actual race if you vote for the other side. He's
saying what I think is the eternal American dream, which
is black, white, Asian, Hispanic, gay, straight, whatever your sexuality
or ethnicity is, you come here, you bust your ass,
you can get ahead. And that's what the data reflects.
Speaker 7 (13:51):
Trump's Trump's message to a you know, to a Hispanic
single mom who lives in Woodlawn, or to a black
guy who's commute from the South Bronx every day down
to manhad to do his job, is I want to
make it easier for you to move up the financial
ladder and have more financial freedom and security and have
your piece of the American dream. Joe Biden's thing is
(14:13):
there are these rich people. I'm going to tax them more,
but I'm also going to give a lot of benefits
to illegals who just got here and not you.
Speaker 3 (14:21):
That's a big problem for him. By the way, we
haven't really even got into that, clay the.
Speaker 7 (14:26):
Democrats bending over backwards for illegals. Hispanic and Black Americans
see that, and they go, what's that all about? You know,
and remember it's illegals.
Speaker 3 (14:39):
From all over the world, over one hundred and sixty countries.
So this game they play off, Oh, it's racist.
Speaker 7 (14:45):
It's racist, I mean from what races and people coming
from all over the world they're legally into America. So
that's another major challenge that the Democrats have here that
Biden has here. We'll take some of your calls on
this one. By the way, if anyone listening was at
a rally, oh yeah, good, you gonna be yeah, you know,
if any wo r listeners, if you that's our fantastic
(15:07):
New York City flagship station.
Speaker 3 (15:09):
If you are listening, or you know, if you just
happen to swing.
Speaker 7 (15:13):
By there, please do give us a call eight hundred
two two two eight eight two. And also, honestly, if
we have anyone listening who's black or Hispanic and wants
to weigh on just how what do you think that
other black and Hispanic Americans are seeing the light so
to speak when it comes to Trump. Is this really?
Is this really happening? I want to hear from some
of our black and Hispanic listener. Let's put that one
out there too. Look, there's something else I want to
(15:35):
talk to you about. It's important preborn. Newer medicines on
the market offer women considering an abortion easy access. For
those who value the life of every unborn child, providing
an alternative is more important than ever. It's why the
Preborn Network of Clinics has so many locations nationwide. They
specifically place these clinics in communities where abortion rates are highest.
(15:55):
Their message to these pregnant mothers is clear, meet your
unborn child through an ultrasound. Consider all the resources will
provide you, including baby supplies, maternity clothing, up to two
years of support. All of those services at Preborn are
free to these moms. Your donations, you listening, your donations
the pro life community have made this mission possible, and
(16:17):
especially that ultrasound experience is saving baby's lives just by
giving the mother more information and letting her make a
more informed choice about what to do life or something else.
One ultrasound is just twenty eight dollars, but any gift
will help, and I appreciate so much some of you
listening have already done this leadership gifts. Thank you so much.
(16:41):
A leadership gift of five thousand dollars will underwrite ultrasounds
for the entire network for a day. Now. I know
for so many of you don't have five thousand dollars
to donate to the best cause. I understand that, but
there are some of you right now who do. There
are a handful of you who do. It's entirely tax deductible,
and you will save hundreds of babies lives with this
tax deductible gift. All you have to do right now,
(17:03):
By the way, please, if you can donate twenty dollars,
twenty eight dollars, ten dollars, whatever you can spare, dial
pound two five zero say baby on your cell phone.
That's pound two five zero, say the keyword baby. Or
to donate online. That's what I do. Go to preborn
dot com, slash buck, preborn dot com, slash.
Speaker 3 (17:21):
B u c K sponsored by Preborn Seek.
Speaker 10 (17:25):
Out with the guys on the Sunday Hang with Clay
and Buck podcast, a new episode every Sunday. Find it
on the iHeart app or wherever you get your podcasts.
Speaker 7 (17:35):
Second Hour Clay and Buck kicks off. Now we are
joined by the one and only Heather McDonald, Manhattan's student
fellow author of When Race Trump's Merit. She has a
fascinating and really unsettling peace in City Journal California's looming
crime catastrophe. Recent legislation makes it easier for felons to
(17:56):
claim racial bias. We're going to talk you at this
and also the UCLA Medical School revelation. The first walk
people through this because this is one of those things
that the first time you hear what's going on in California,
even for California, it's hard to believe this is really
going on, but it is.
Speaker 3 (18:16):
What's happening.
Speaker 11 (18:17):
Well, thanks so much for having me on Buck.
Speaker 4 (18:20):
A law has been passed in California that basically puts
into practice every tenet of critical race theory and.
Speaker 11 (18:28):
Anti white privilege ideas.
Speaker 4 (18:31):
It holds that because we all know that, of course
the criminal justice system is racist and the only reason
that there's a higher proportion of Blacks in prison than
other groups must be criminal justice racism.
Speaker 11 (18:47):
It cannot be higher rates of crime.
Speaker 4 (18:50):
The law has decided that all that a black defendant
needs to do to unravel, to discredit, to stop in
the track his prosecution is to allege that in the
past there was a pattern of bias against black defendants.
The law explicitly says it's too difficult to prove bias
(19:15):
in the individual case that a defendant was arrested out
of police bias or was prosecuted out of prosecutorial bias.
So we're just going to get rid of that requirement.
And all a black defendant needs to do is allege
that in the past members of his race were treated
(19:38):
unfairly because of their race. And this is a complete
destruction of the idea of individual fault of individual proof.
And the kicker is is that as of this year,
anybody in prison today in California, if your minority, you
(19:58):
can retroactively challenge your sentencing or your arrest and get resentenced.
This is a recipe to take down the criminal justice system.
Speaker 11 (20:12):
And the left knows it.
Speaker 4 (20:14):
They are celebrating this as the opportunity to end what
they view as a racist.
Speaker 11 (20:23):
Process against blacks.
Speaker 3 (20:26):
Heather, thanks for coming on.
Speaker 1 (20:28):
I mean, you have done incredible work on so many
different stories relating to DEI and the dishonesty in the
way that race has talked about in America today. UCLA,
I would submit to you, and I'm curious if you
would agree that most people out there care not at
all about diversity equine inclusion, the more serious the issue
(20:50):
that they face is. For instance, I don't think anybody
cares about anything other than do they have the best
doctor when they have a serious medical issue.
Speaker 3 (20:58):
And certainly I don't.
Speaker 1 (21:00):
Think anybody cares about when they get on an airplane
anything other than is the pilot of badass am I
as safe as I could possibly be. The former that
I just mentioned, UCLA is now making diversity one of
the hallmarks of its medical training, and as a result,
it appears they are admitting severely underqualified students to be
(21:23):
trained as doctors. What is the data showing us and
how alarming should that be given that UCLA is considered
to be one of the most elite, I believe, of
the medical institutions out there, certainly in the state of California.
Speaker 4 (21:39):
Well, it's extraordinarily alarming, Clay, But it's far beyond UCLA.
This is going on everywhere and has been going on
for decades. We are admitting students on the basis of race,
not merit, that are not competitively qualified. They are not
keeping up. And when minority students that have been admitted
(22:00):
under these massive racial preferences, they're admitted with scores on
the medical college admission test that would be automatically disqualifying.
They're so low if presented by a wider Asian applicant, predictably,
they end up at the bottom of their class. They
struggle to pass exams, qualifying exams, and so the result is,
(22:22):
of course, well, we're not going to actually now reimpose
meritocratic standards. We're going to lift those standards as well,
and so I will pass them along. But this has
been going on for a very long.
Speaker 11 (22:36):
Time, Clay.
Speaker 4 (22:37):
In the nineteen eighties, there was a Harvard Medical School
professor who wrote a very anodyne editorial in the Journal
of American Medical Association JEMMA, and he recounted that a
student at a prestigious medical school, which turned out to
be Harvard, but he didn't name the school, had failed
the medical licensing exam five times, passed.
Speaker 11 (23:00):
Them along anyway.
Speaker 4 (23:02):
Because the pressure to show diversity is so great. We
know that if you have not been able to pass
licensing exams, the data shows you're going to be much
more likely to be brought before a medical licensing board
for malpractice. It has an effect on patient outcomes, on
(23:23):
patient mortality. This data has been out there for decades
and it's completely brushed under the rug because America has
decided that its racial guilt is so enormous that it
would rather subject unknown patients to less qualified or unqualified
physicians than live with the fact that the academic skills
(23:46):
gap is so huge that if you maintain meritocratic standards,
you're not going to have racial proportionality. The solution to
that is not to tear down the standards. Our standards
are not racist. Whether it's in the criminal law or
in medicine or in high tech, those standards are not
racist their color blood. The problem is the skills gap,
and the problem is the crime gap.
Speaker 7 (24:08):
We're speaking to Heather MacDonald and she's got a really
important piece that's cross posted right now but at clayanbuck
dot com, so you can go to claanbuck dot com
and you'll see California's looming crime catastrophe by Heather McDonald.
By the way, crime is already a problem there, but
it's going to get a whole lot worse if this
law that she's talking about continues to be put into practice.
(24:29):
There's this change in the ability for felons to contest
their incarceration and their prosecution based on the allegations of
historic group racism. But Heather, one issue that I feel
like doesn't get anywhere near enough attention. We're talking about
the on the medical school side of things, the changing
of standards. It seems that the Supreme Court has made
(24:52):
pretty clear that it's actually you're actually not allowed to
do this anymore. You're not supposed to be doing this anymore.
Speaker 3 (24:59):
But are they just doing it in all these schools anyway?
I mean, how how.
Speaker 7 (25:03):
Do we finally get and in California it's been illegal
to do this under state law for a long They
got rid of racial preferences, I think back in the nineties.
Speaker 3 (25:11):
But people just do it anyway? Is that the state
of play?
Speaker 4 (25:15):
Of course, there's no way that these schools are going
to give up on diversity. Diversity and the fight against
phantom racism is the only unifying ideology on a college
campus today. It's brought us the Hamas protests, the Progamas hysteria,
because that's it's all linked, it's all intersectional. You know,
(25:35):
you just simply believe that whites are evil, Western civilization
is evil. Israel is now white and Western and therefore evil,
and so you have these bizarre alliances. But yes, this
is the this they've been They've been trying to duck
the rules in California for a long time. And the
way they do that is with this idea of holistic admissions.
(25:59):
So they say, well, well, we're not really looking at race,
but we're looking at economic disadvantage or the individual that
it's just been so hard to struggle against racism. By
the way, you're also black, that we're going to admit you.
And sadly, the Supreme Court decision two summers ago that
banned racial preferences did allow a very big loophole in
(26:22):
where Chief Justice Roberts said, well, of course we can't
ban you from taking into account individual essays, and so
the schools can continue noticing legally that the author of
an essay is black. And they can say, well, we're
not just we don't have some hard and fast racial quota.
(26:43):
It just so happens that when we do holistic admissions,
we still end up promoting minority students who again would
be automatically disqualified if their grades and test scores were
presented by whites and Asians.
Speaker 11 (26:57):
It's a complete double standard. It's war on excellence.
Speaker 4 (27:01):
And let's be honest, this is a very difficult thing
to say, but you guys have the courage to say it,
and you've been saying it. It is a war on whites,
and now it's a war on Asians as well.
Speaker 1 (27:13):
Heather, are you optimistic? I'm trying to have an optimistic
day as we roll into the the holiday weekend, and
I wanted to hit you with something. You've been very
important in talking about the war on cops. In the
wake of twenty twenty, that we have seen police officers
constantly targeted, the rates of violence against them have skyrocketed.
(27:37):
I saw a recent poll where support for police officers
in America is starting to skyrocket back up as one
of the most trusted groups of people in America. That
used to be the case for most of my life.
I would imagine for most of your life. Are you
seeing or hearing from your sources any suggestion that the
(27:59):
war on cops, which was unmistakably occurring for years, has
started to lead to more people out there saying, wait
a minute, this is way overboard. We've got it back
the blue. We got to support police and their ability
to do their job.
Speaker 4 (28:16):
Well, it depends on what people you're talking about. If
you're talking about your average American, that well maybe the case.
The question is are the policy makers pulling back on that?
And you know, if I want to be optimistic, which
is very much against my nature, but I'll go along
with your Memorial Day push here.
Speaker 3 (28:35):
I appreciate that.
Speaker 4 (28:37):
You know, when the Biden goes around saying, oh, we've
got the lowest crime right ever and crime is dropping.
Speaker 11 (28:42):
Hey, that's not true, but crime is dropping. The reason
it's dropping.
Speaker 4 (28:46):
To the extent it is, and that's still very contestable,
is because a lot of these left wing cities have said, whoa,
we need more cops.
Speaker 6 (28:55):
Now.
Speaker 4 (28:55):
It's very still very hard to higher cops. There's a
recruiting crisis in this country because who wants to start
a job when from the first day the President of
the United States is going to be saying you're a racist,
and the entire elite democratic class and the media is
going to be saying you're a racist.
Speaker 11 (29:12):
But there are some.
Speaker 4 (29:13):
Jurisdictions like Baltimore, Washington, d C. That have pulled back
on some of the anti cop measures that are saying,
we need proactive policing, We need law enforcement officers to
use their constitutional powers of observation to make stops to
questions people engaged in suspicious behavior. So that has been
(29:33):
changing to a certain extent. On the other hand, you know,
I'm watching Chicago right now where there's a battle over
whether to reinstate shot spotter technology. The mayor, Brandon Johnson,
wants to get rid of it because get this, cameras
are racist. Audio technology is racist if it turns out
that you put audio sensors to hear shootings, and those
(29:56):
audio sensors, which by the way, have no conscious they
don't know where the shots are coming from, who's shooting
the gun not it is the police for that matter.
Speaker 11 (30:05):
But the censors don't.
Speaker 4 (30:07):
Those are racist audio sensors because they show us that
the vast majority of drive by shootings occur in black
neighborhoods and who are the victims blacks? But we're not
supposed to care about that. So the left wants to
get rid of shot spotter technology because it's racist in
telling us that blacks are shooting each other at just
enormous rates. Black juveniles are shot at one hundred times
(30:31):
the rate of white juveniles in the post George Floyd
race riot world. But there's parts of the Chicago City
Council that is standing up to Mayor Brandon Johnson in
Chicago and saying, whoa, we want the shot spotter. And
here's the really hilarious thing. Clay and By Johnson wants
to cancel the shot Spotter contract, but only after the
(30:52):
DNC convention.
Speaker 11 (30:54):
He will.
Speaker 4 (30:54):
We'll keep it then so that we can maybe keep
the gang bangers off the street and minimize our chances
of having, you know, conventioneers.
Speaker 11 (31:02):
Shot in a drive by shooting. After that, we're going
to get rid of it.
Speaker 4 (31:05):
But the Council is pushing back and saying, no, this
is a technology that works, and we're not going to
buckle under the absolutely preposterous charge that a censor for
shooting is a racist A.
Speaker 7 (31:18):
Machine Chicago would be such a great city and get
such a renaissance. I think if they could just get
the crime situation under control, but Democrats aren't willing to
do what they need to do. Heather MacDonald from the
Manhattan Institute when Race Trump's merit is her book. Also
go to Clanbuck dot com. Her piece California's Looming Crime
Catastrophe is there. Heather, great work as always, thanks for
(31:39):
being with us.
Speaker 11 (31:41):
Thanks clam Beck, It's an honor.
Speaker 1 (31:43):
She really does do phenomenal work. I'd encourage you to
go read that book, Fearless in an Arrow when Buck,
As you well know, far too many.
Speaker 7 (31:50):
People in media or cowards, that is the word for fearless. Yeah,
fearless and factual. Yeah, good good combo. Look, you know
it's another good combo. Not having huge issues with your house.
Speaker 1 (32:02):
And right now backyard of the Travis household, there is
wiffleball practice going on. My boys are going to want
to be playing woffleball the entire Memorial Day weekend. They
would play fifteen hours a day if they could. And
as a result, there's woffleballs all banging into my house
at all hours, all day long. Now that school is
(32:23):
out for the summer, it's going to become even more incessant. Also,
soon those gutters they're going to be filling up for fall.
Maybe these may rain showers that are coming down right now.
It's summer, probably raining a lot more around wherever you are,
and you're seeing them even more. If you own a home.
One part of that maintenance is the rain gutters, particularly
(32:45):
if you have a yard full of trees. When the
water can't escape, seeps into the house, your foundation.
Speaker 3 (32:53):
No fun. You may have experienced that.
Speaker 1 (32:54):
You ever look up see those gutters pouring rain and
then you're like, uh, oh, that ain't the gutter that's
coming down through another part of the house. Probably has
happened to you, it's happened to me. You can help
prevent that with lee filter they're coming out to my house.

Speaker 3 (33:57):
Welcome back in, Clay, Travis Buck.
Speaker 1 (33:59):
Sex didn't show Bernie Marino's scheduled to join us right
about now, so we may get a call, or we
may not. The campaign going on in Iowa, they may
have gotten caught up somewhere, or as often is the case, still,
I don't know when it's ever going to end. There's
still a lot of areas where cell phones just don't
work all over the country, and we're, you know, twenties
(34:21):
for a generation into everybody having cell phones at this point,
and it still doesn't make any sense to me. You
guys listening to us right now probably know certain places
close to your home where you're on the phone and
you're like, hey, it's probably going to drop here.
Speaker 3 (34:35):
It always drops.
Speaker 1 (34:37):
I did want to hit on this the UH decision
on the mar Lago raid. The fact that deadly force
was authorized really that got Democrats rattled. I'm sure you
saw this. Buck Merrick Garland, the Attorney General who signed
off on this raid, even felt compelled to say what
(34:58):
they're telling you is not true. Even though it is true.
Listen to cut seven.
Speaker 12 (35:05):
That allegation is false and it is extremely dangerous. The
document that has been referred to in the allegation is
a Justice Department standard policy limiting the use of force.
As the FBI advises, it is part of the standard
operations plan for searches, and in fact, it was even
(35:26):
used in the consensual search of President Biden's home.
Speaker 3 (35:30):
I just want to show us, show us that yes,
show us that I agree.
Speaker 7 (35:33):
What want to put online the official document and no
faking official documents because that.
Speaker 3 (35:41):
Would be a no no.
Speaker 7 (35:42):
Put online the official document that shows us the authorization
for lethal force to pick up classified at Joe Biden's
beach house next to the corvette, hopefully not near Hunter's
bag of cocaine. Like, show us where this is, you
know what I mean, We're just with agree. I'm not
taking his word for anything.
Speaker 1 (36:00):
And also that first of all, I don't believe it's true,
because I think the document would have been released if
it were true.
Speaker 3 (36:06):
Maybe it will come out at some point.
Speaker 1 (36:09):
But even if it is true, as the Attorney General
who said that you personally made the decision to approve
the raid at mar A Lago, Merrick Garland's a smart guy.
He certainly understood that the action he was undertaking had
never occurred before in the history of the United States.
That is, the sitting President's Department of Justice, his FBI
(36:32):
raids the former president. Shouldn't he go ahead and own
that he screwed this up instead of claiming its standard
operating procedure. Bernie Marino joins us. Now, Bernie appreciates you.
We're rooting for you to flip Ohio back to a
full red state. But I'm curious what you think of
all this controversy about whether Joe Biden should be on
(36:55):
the ballot or not in Ohio and the scramble that
Democrat failure in terms of the timing of their Democrat
National Convention has put in place with Ohio law. How
do you break all this down?
Speaker 2 (37:10):
Yeah, I mean, obviously, if the tables are turned, let's
be honest, they would never lift a finger to President
Trump on the ballot, that they would do the exact opposite.
My perspective is, let's not be like them. And number one,
number two, let's show America that Ohio's Trump country. So
let's put Biden on the ballot so that we can
absolutely beat him by fifteen plus points and humiliate his
(37:33):
give him a humiliating loss here in Ohio. He deserves
that after everything he's done to this century of the
last three and a half years. I'd like to see
him soundly defeated here in Ohio.
Speaker 7 (37:43):
How is it looking right now? What are the latest
numbers telling you about how Biden's going to fare? And
is the Ohio GOP ready for the challenge?
Speaker 6 (37:53):
Oh? Absolutely.
Speaker 2 (37:53):
We have a great state party. We have a great
county party system. We have eighty eight very healthy county party.
If the election were today.
Speaker 6 (38:03):
President Trump would probably win by twenty points.
Speaker 3 (38:07):
Twenty point win.
Speaker 1 (38:09):
Is there any way you don't win if Trump wins
by twenty How connected do you think the vote is
going to be in Ohio when it comes to presidential
ticket and Senate ticket.
Speaker 2 (38:20):
I think it'll be very connected. I think there's not
a lot of crossover anymore. But I'll caution this. You
know there's today the election is a twenty point victory.
But let's not discount the creativity of the radical left
to cause god knows what grief, and also the entirety
of the mainstream media is going to do the bidding
(38:43):
of Sherif Brown and Joe Biden.
Speaker 6 (38:44):
Let's not discount that.
Speaker 3 (38:46):
I actually saw that.
Speaker 1 (38:47):
I know your campaign's going well, Bernie, because I saw
the New York Times came after you and your entire
life history in a bio piece, and I always think
when I read those, man burn he must be running
a good campaign when The New York Times dedicates three
thousand words to saying, Oh, Bernie's actually a really bad guy.
Speaker 3 (39:07):
What'd you think of that profile? What did it tell
you about the campaign?
Speaker 2 (39:12):
Well that they obviously can't talk about Sharon Brown's accomplishments,
so they have to debase me and my family. You know,
the tadab moment in that article was, well, Bernie said
it was a two bedroom apartment. Turns out there was
three bedrooms. It's two bedrooms in a DNA. We really
arguing about this, and by the way, it had two
bathrooms and It was five brothers, myself, my sister, my mom,
(39:33):
my dad, my grandfather, and my grandmother.
Speaker 6 (39:35):
So it was definitely the lap of luxury according to the.
Speaker 2 (39:38):
New York Times, you know, and my dad was making
five dollars and twenty five cents an hour raising seven kids.
Speaker 6 (39:44):
But of course it's just ridiculous.
Speaker 2 (39:46):
But there is no separation between the New York Times
and the Democrat Party. That's that's what I learned in
my brief time in politics.
Speaker 7 (39:57):
And Connor and Bernie, do you remember, do you remember
when they went after Marco Ruby when Hillary Clinton was
giving speeches for two hundred fifty thousand dollars a pop,
and they found out that Marco, hopefully soon to be
your centate Republican colleague, had like a family fishing boat
that was worth like sixty grand or something. In The
New York Times tried to hit him on that one,
and then everyone was talking about how many how many
(40:17):
Marco boats Hillary gets paid for speech?
Speaker 6 (40:21):
Marco Rubio's luxury yacht.
Speaker 7 (40:23):
Yeah, that's no, that's how they were positioning, like, oh,
the spendthrift Rubio. Anyway, you know, you know what you're
up against with the New York Times they're completely an
early in the tank for the other side, What do
you I mean for the people who are wondering, you know,
how this is going to shape up, you know, against Biden.
Speaker 3 (40:40):
What's your expectation for what they're going to try to
hammer in your state?
Speaker 6 (40:45):
Like?
Speaker 7 (40:45):
What is the because Biden can't be the tip of
the spear of their attack, right because it's Biden and
we all know this. Are they just going to go
on abortion stuff and threats to democracy?
Speaker 6 (40:56):
Like?
Speaker 3 (40:57):
How are they going to try to position themselves.
Speaker 2 (41:00):
In the you can't make this up department? Sharat Brown
is trying to position himself are you ready for this one?
Speaker 6 (41:06):
As a Trump guy? So he's aligning himself saying.
Speaker 2 (41:09):
I'm with Trump on trade, I'm with Trump on taxes,
I'm with Trump on immigration, I'm with Trump on stopping fentanyl.
That is his current theme, which is again you know,
you have to suspend metality to think that, oh, it's
totally wild, but and I you know, listen, let's not
be surprised when in October Sharon Brown endorses President Trump
and to Joe Biden, I see that as plausible.
Speaker 1 (41:33):
That would be wild, So you think it's possible the
sitting Democrat senator is going to be floundering and trying
to win to such a degree that he might endorse
Donald Trump as President of the United States.
Speaker 3 (41:45):
In Ohio, oh.
Speaker 2 (41:47):
Absolutely, I mean his ads are basically heading that direction anyway.
I mean, when if you have air Force one that
comes anywhere near Ohio airspace, you can hear Shara Brown
running to a bunker.
Speaker 1 (42:03):
That is pretty incredible to think about. So when you're
on the road. For people out there who pay a
lot of attention to the presidential race, that obviously matters
a great deal. But if you beat shared Brown, given
what's going on in West Virginia, Republicans take control of
the Senate. Obviously, there are a lot of other races
that are of high significance. But how much do you
(42:27):
think about that impact in terms of what it could
do for the nation to take back control of the Senate,
not to mention take back control of Ohio completely.
Speaker 2 (42:36):
Well, I think we have to paint that picture for voters.
It means a safe and secure border, It means zero
legal immigration, It means we have safety and security. It
means we have a stronger country because we have a
stronger economy, We make things here in America again. We
restore a growing and thriving middle class. We have energy dominance,
we don't need any energy from any other country on Earth,
(42:59):
and we have peace his stability around the world. That
is what we will deliver for the American people if
they give us the opportunity of the White House and
the Senate in the House again.
Speaker 7 (43:08):
Bernie Marino, Bernie, worship folks, go especially. We've got a
lot of Ohio listeners. They want to get involved in
help I need.
Speaker 2 (43:15):
I need to help them. Your listeners, they can go
on the website, Bernie marinomr EO dot com. Sharre Brown
is going to have every horrible dark organization around the
country supporting him. I need the grassroots supporters, the conservatives
that love this country.
Speaker 6 (43:30):
And want to get our country back.
Speaker 3 (43:31):
There we go, Bernie Marino. Everybody go check it out. Bernie,
thanks for being.
Speaker 6 (43:34):
With us, of course, thank you guys.
Speaker 1 (43:37):
Welcome back in Clay Travis buck Sexton Show Memorial Day
Weekend Friday. We're joined now by Jesse Kelly faulding Man
who orders seventy five dollars shots when he goes out
drinking in New York City and also a diehard fan
of Red Lobster. Where on the flow chart of anger, sadness,
(43:59):
despair does Red Lobster closing rank? And how would you
compare it to the Michigan Wolverines being a vastly superior
football program, now to the Ohio State Buckeyes.
Speaker 13 (44:12):
First of all, I just want to point out to
everybody that you're a bad person, okay, And I resent
your comments almost as much as I resent that mop
of hair you still have on your head. That's you
and Buck, both of you with all this hair. What
a couple of hippies. That's one. Two people do not
appreciate red lobster. It's thought of as some kind of
(44:33):
I don't know. I don't know why it's not thought
of where it should be, as the pinnacle of American cuisine.
We only had one in Montana when I was a kid,
and it was two and a half hours away and
we could never go out to eat. But whenever we
would go over to this town, we would always go
to Red Lobster and it was it always delivers. Red
Lobster has been the peak of American seafood forever, and
(44:55):
I am legit upset about it. I have one three
hundred meters. I would say, from where I'm sitting right now,
I eat there twice a week and it's closing up.
I'm devastated.
Speaker 3 (45:08):
Well, so what happened?
Speaker 7 (45:10):
I mean, there's this rumor out there that and I
don't know if you partook in this, mister Jesse Kelly,
that it was the endless shrimp that was the last straw,
if you will. They went endless shrimp, and people kind
of like Homer Simpson when Hell is feeding them donuts
and Hell runs out of donuts.
Speaker 3 (45:28):
Remember that that people.
Speaker 7 (45:29):
Could eat more shrimp than they ever anticipated at corporate
headquarters for Red Lobster, and that that was the coup
de grass, if you will, the final moment for Red Lobster.
Is that true or is that just rumor mill stuff.
Speaker 13 (45:44):
It's probably rumor mill stuff, but I'd like to think
that it's true because it's the kind of thing Red
Lobster would do. Red Lobster hasn't been about profit. It's
not been about making money for the restaurant itself. Red
Lobster has been about sustaining an American population with high
end seafood since its inception. And I would say I
(46:04):
don't want to speak for the owners. I'm sure the
owners are, you know, wonderful Christian people or whatever, but
I don't want to speak for them. But I would
imagine that's how they would want to go, giving away
the last of their vast wealth to the people so
the people could enjoy. Have you, guys, ever had the
shrimp scampy for med lobster? Have either of you ever
sat down and enjoyed that delicious buttery bowl of garlicy
(46:29):
shrimp scampy? It will change your life. And then you
take the cheddar bay biscuits and you dip them in
the butter in the shrimp scampy bowl. Gosh, I'm starving.
Speaker 1 (46:40):
So I think most of our audience, and I don't
know if you would subscribe to this, would say Chick
fil A, if you had to pick one fast food restaurant,
is the best fast food restaurant in America. Now, look,
there are others that I really like. I'm a fan
of Zaxby's. I'm a fan of raisin Canes. These are
(47:01):
Southern places sometimes that he's talking about, just to be clear,
to be fair, like Sunday Sunday Meal. When I was
a kid growing up was Captain D's, which I don't
think exists anymore. It was the seafood fast food, which
doesn't sound like a combo.
Speaker 7 (47:17):
That would be really popular during Sexton family road trips.
I'll just tell you we would have the argument about
fast food, and my dad would just the argument or
was always burger king flame broiled, so that advertising worked
really well.
Speaker 1 (47:29):
So what is Jesse? Let's presume that all Red Lobsters
shut down? What would be and I'm not talking about
fast food? What would be your number two draft pick
of a place that would try to fill the great
void in your life that was formerly occupied by Red Lobster.
I would suggest this is my nomination. I'm curious what
(47:52):
Buck would say too. Olive Garden is probably the best.
Speaker 7 (47:57):
I think by the company. I think they almost oh
they used to be. They spun it off.
Speaker 1 (48:03):
But I would say Olive Garden would now be the
peak of American chain sit down dining. What would your
argument be, Jesse?
Speaker 13 (48:12):
It definitely wouldn't be Olive Garden, which is low rent trash,
it's not high end like Red Lobster. It figures you
would pick Olive Garden, now, don't get me wrong, Just
like anyone else who who's alive and has taste buds.
I love going to Olive Garden and comeling down some
breadsticks as much as the nests. Man, I'm a big
fan of that. But as far as replacements go, I've
already picked my replacement. People think I've got one white
(48:33):
trash thing in my back pocket. I've been white trash
for the forty two years of my existence. I just
took my sons to waffle House the other day. They
love it. My wife refuses to go in. She says
there are some clemingist problems which I have personally never seen,
but waffle House. You know what waffle House has. Everyone
knows about the waffles and the breakfasts and the smothered
and covered and the fist fights and everything else. What
(48:55):
people don't understand is the cheeseburger at waffle House is
top tier. It's as good as any restaurant burger you
can get out there, now, are they Jesse Kelly Burgers? No,
of course, nobody's perfect, but waffle House cheeseburgers, hash brown,
smothered covered, Oh, that's as good as it.
Speaker 3 (49:13):
Have you ever been to a waffle House? Buck?
Speaker 5 (49:16):
Uh?
Speaker 7 (49:16):
Yeah, yeah, I've been like hungover as a college kid.
For sure, I've been to waffle House, that's their staple.
But I just think it's funny that as we're talking
about this last twenty four hours, also, the CEO of
Cracker Barrel has recently apparently said, yeah, we're just like
not as good as we used to be or something.
I'm just like, wait, what's going on the why would
you throw your own stuff under the bus that way?
(49:37):
Before we get into the Cracker Barrel discussions to say, Jesse,
we asked for some of our VIPs to put you
on the hot seat. And this is clearly somebody who's
a Clay and Buck and Jesse Kelly listener, because I
don't even know what's going on here. Brian, one of
our Klayanbuck VIPs, rights ask Jesse if he could defeat
fifty iguanas with a slingshot to defend himself shields high Brian, the.
Speaker 3 (50:00):
What is he? Can you defeat fifty iguanas with a slingshot?
What is he talking about?
Speaker 13 (50:05):
Yeah, I'm deadly with a slingshot. You see, when I
was a child, all I would do is I would leave.
You know, this is back in the day when you
just got kicked out of the house, and we had
these woods back beyond my house, and I didn't have
any neighbors close to me, so I was constantly stuck
in my own world, talking to myself, playing with myself,
doing all those kinds of things. And the slingshot. I
got a slingshot for Christmas one year, and let me
(50:27):
tell you what, I was, basically the world's deadliest sniper
with that thing. I'd be taken out squirrels like you
can't imagine. My mom would be thrilled to come home
and find a bunch of dead squirrels in the window
sill in the kitchen. You can bring on iguanas, You
could bring on rhinocera, a bunch of rhinos, and I
would manage to take them out with a slingshot as well.
(50:48):
I'm basically king David.
Speaker 7 (50:51):
What is your best? As we're going off the holiday weekend,
we had a conversation about this. There's a Wall Street
Journal piece on the science of having the best possible vacation.
What is it, Jesse Kelly version of having the best
possible vacation? Buy you know by the advice you can give?
Speaker 13 (51:08):
Okay, Well, are we talking now, are we talking a
realistic vacation or Jesse's all of a sudden a billionaire
and I can go and do well.
Speaker 7 (51:16):
No real realistic, Like if you're giving folks like the
basic nuts and bolts of how to have a good
long weekend, right because they talk about things like don't
try to do too much, don't look for the best,
look for good enough. Stuff like that, like what's what's
your your real deal wisdom or advice on a great
American long weekend.
Speaker 13 (51:33):
Okay, here's the best American long weekend you can possibly have.
What you need is either a mountain or a lake.
You need a cabin on a lake or a cabin
on a mountain, and it has to be an hour
or less away from your home. Otherwise. This is where
people screw up with vacations all the time, especially long
weekend vacations. You got seventy two hours, you got three
(51:55):
days max? Okay, we'll make it. Maybe you've got ninety
six hours, Maybe you got a four day or are
you going to bookend your vacation with three four hours
of either driving the kids and getting daddy I get
a beer, or you're gonna go fight off to the
eight hundred pounds TSA agent at the airport trying to
get to and fro. No, thank you, it has to
(52:17):
be less than an hour away. You don't need a beach.
The beach is the most overrated thing in the world.
I don't want sand in my ears. I don't with this.
The beach is fun for an hour, and then I
can't read anymore. I'm hot. It's miserable. Go to a lake,
A raft a lake. One of the styrofoam coolers full
of beer is all you need to have the best
weekend in the world.
Speaker 1 (52:39):
That's not bad advice, except you're totally wrong on all
beach related opinions. And I bet you haven't been to
thirty a, which is where I'm about to head the
Florida Gulf Coast. You're talking about like redneck Galveston, Texas.
You're talking about throwing I'm sorry, Galveston. I mean it
is like, no everybody body in Texas. They don't have
(53:01):
a beach in Texas that anybody wants to go to.
Speaker 3 (53:04):
Oh, it's true that aggression cannot stand.
Speaker 13 (53:08):
First of all, I fully admit that Galveston, Texas is
kind of a rundown beach town and that's part of
its charm. But don't you dare call Galveston garbage while
pointing out the Florida Golf Coast. I love the Florida
Golf Coast. I go down there every chance I get.
Have you seen people smile when the Florida Golf Coast play,
It'll look like Leon Spinks. Don't tell me about the
(53:31):
Florida Golf Coast as if it's.
Speaker 3 (53:33):
The correct I'm not talking. First of all, the people
are fabulous.
Speaker 1 (53:37):
Second, they may not have as many teeth as they
would like, but that's what happens when you live well.
Speaker 3 (53:41):
Also, I would just.
Speaker 1 (53:43):
Say all of Texas biggest flaw that Texas has. The
beaches are a disaster. Everybody listening to me in Texas
right now. They come to the Florida Gulf Coast because
the beaches are white sand, because the water is emerald colored.
It's like you're in the Mediatarean and it is spectacular.
And I subminietrated with more trumpet legs, that's right, the
(54:05):
Mediterranean with more trump fat flags, which is a good combo.
And by the way, jesse As, we're about to go
out here. My mom want it she just texted. She said,
Dad and I ate at Red Lobster yesterday. Shrimp scampy
is my favorite. So you've at least won over my mom.
Speaker 13 (54:20):
Yeah, I love her already. She's by far the smartest Travis,
that's for sure.
Speaker 7 (54:25):
Do you think they're gonna keep making those cheddar Bay
biscuits even when the clothes because my sister and her
husband love those things, like I'm pretty sure they would
drive multiple hours just for the biscuits.
Speaker 13 (54:37):
Buck, A great product never ever ever leaves. Once you
achieved the pinnacle of something, it never leaves. It may
be ripped up, rebuild, it may be bought by someone else,
But when you've achieved the culinary masterpiece that is the
Cheddar Bay biscuit, it will be here long after you
and I are dead and gone. Brother.
Speaker 7 (54:54):
I don't want to stroke your ego too much before
we go off for the weekend. But there are people
I have seen on the inter webs who think that
you're so called best burger ever imaginable is actually really good?
Where can they go and find out about this supposedly
amazing burger that apparently a lot of people.
Speaker 13 (55:11):
Like I actually have to give unique guidance on this,
because now this thing is taken on a life of
its own, and apparently they're about eight million blogs out
there called the Jesse Kelly Burger, and most of them
are wrong. They just kind of decided to come up
with their own recipe and called the Jesse Kelly Burger.
So just look up Jesse Kelly cheeseburger and click on
a video of me describing it. That's the only way
(55:32):
you can make sure it's the actual Jesse Kelly cheeseburger
and all bluster aside, I do make the greatest homemade
cheeseburger in the history of mankind. You try one, you'll
never make them any other way.
Speaker 6 (55:41):
Trust me on that.
Speaker 3 (55:42):
A great cheeseburger is unbeatable, undefeated. It really is pretty fabulous.
Speaker 7 (55:46):
Go check it out and check out the Jesse Kelly
Show syndicated six to nine eas from across the country,

tell your lovely wife and the boys have a great
holiday week end.

you want to complain that I've got us all going
to Milwaukee. You've been upset that I managed to corral
everybody to Milwaukee.
Speaker 3 (56:08):
We're gonna all go to Red Lobster. That's a truth.
Speaker 1 (56:10):
We're all gonna You want to take a shot at
this week in Milwaukee that you're upset that I've managed
to corral everybody into No, I have no.
Speaker 13 (56:17):
Problem with the road trip. I would just like in
the future to be consulted before Clay Travis signs me
up for four or five days away from home in
a hotel. I'm not by my bed. I don't even
like Republicans. Why do I have to go to the
Republican convention? A bunch of useless unus out there selling
us out every single minute. Now I have to go
act like I like these people. Thanks a lot, Clay,

Welcome in Friday edition. Heading into the long Memorial Day weekend,
some of you probably listening to us. I bet a
lot of you already on the road headed somewhere for
the Memorial Day weekend. A lot of you will be
listening on podcast later this afternoon or evening as you
(00:21):
begin your travels. As soon as we finish this show,
I'm going to knock out a hit with Martha McCollum
and Fox News, and then Buck, I am going to
join some they say forty five million or so Americans
who are going to be going somewhere over the weekend.
I'm gonna be driving with my kids and my wife
down to the Florida Gulf Coast where I will be
(00:43):
for the weekend, and I know many of you out
there will be traveling around quite a lot as well.
Keep your heads on a swivel, Buck, This has been
the kind of time Friday, going into a holiday weekend
where there is often a lot of news drive about
four o'clock Eastern or so that they hope will get
(01:04):
lost in all the shuffle and all the moving parts
that might well happen today as well. Who knows what
that might be, but just FYI as we are speaking
to you though, a little after noon eastern on the
East Coast. Donald Trump's rally in the Bronx twenty five thirty,
twenty thousand, whatever you want the number of the official
(01:27):
tally to have been was an absolute home run. And
even members of the media on CNN last night, we're
having to acknowledge that it might make the Biden administration
a little bit nervous about how many people Trump is
turning out here. CNN reporter Kristen Holmes talking about that
(01:47):
rally in the Bronx, Well, certainly.
Speaker 2 (01:48):
A bigger crowd than I think Democrats have like to see,
particularly given.
Speaker 3 (01:51):
This as one of the bluest counties for the entire country.
Speaker 4 (01:55):
Now, one of the things that was interesting teen years
with the Trump campaigns that.
Speaker 3 (01:57):
That they're going to micro target to get people from
the community to come to this rally. I wasn't sure
what to expect. I've gone to a lot of these
rallies across the country, and there are often people who
travel hundreds of miles to see Donald Trump, and they're
not necessarily part of the community. However, one of the
things that I found was that there were a lot.
Speaker 4 (02:14):
Of people here that were actually from the promps.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
Okay, I thought, Buck, first of all, that's a really
good sign. Cut five year to me contrasts so perfectly
with what Biden said in his Morehouse commencement address where
he tried to tell black people they're all victims. Listen
to cut five here, which I thought got to a
really strong pitch of Trump twenty twenty four.
Speaker 3 (02:38):
Cut five the minute crooked show. Biden shuffles out the door.
I will rapidly rebuild.
Speaker 5 (02:43):
The greatest economy the history.
Speaker 3 (02:45):
Of the world.
Speaker 5 (02:45):
Look, we had the greatest economy and history. Everybody here
where you have a small business or if you had
a job, you were getting more than you ever made.
And we had no inflation. We had no one point
four percent considered none, considered better than none because frankly
none in.
Speaker 3 (03:00):
His own way as a bad thing.
Speaker 5 (03:01):
Well, so we had a perfect number, one point four percent.
It doesn't matter whether you're black or brown, or white,
or whatever the hell color you are.
Speaker 3 (03:11):
It doesn't matter.
Speaker 5 (03:12):
We are all Americans, and we're going to pull together
as Americans.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
Uniquely Well said in his own Trump vernacular, Buck, you
are a lifelong New York City resident. I believe all
the storylines that I saw said Ronald Reagan in nineteen
eighty was the last Republican candidate to visit the Bronx.
Forty some odd years later, Trump is back. What was
your take as a lifelong New York City resident as
(03:39):
you watched the rally and saw the reaction to it
from the Bronx. I think Trump is going to overperform
in New York in the upcoming election. I can't say
that he's going to win New York because that is
a that is not a call on a state. That
is a call in the entire election, and that would
be certainly electoral college landslide territory. But I do think
(04:02):
he's going to do better than he did the last
time around. Remember, I understand twenty twenty two was disappointing,
but lee Zelden closed the gap a lot.
Speaker 6 (04:13):
Now.
Speaker 7 (04:13):
Trump got blown out, has gotten blown out in New
York in the past.
Speaker 3 (04:18):
I have to go look at what the numbers are.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
Twenty three points he lost in twenty twenty five. The
latest sien Pol has him down nine single digits. Lee
Zelden lost by about five and a half points. That's
the context of the last couple of years.
Speaker 3 (04:31):
There we go.
Speaker 7 (04:32):
So you know, we're not delusional here. The numbers are
what we think they are. I was going to say
he must have lost by over twenty. He did, and
now meaning Trump, and this time around, he's cutting it
down to single digits. I think that Trump is going
to be within single digits in New York when all
said and done again, you know, close, but no, Cigar
(04:54):
doesn't get it done for the election. But I do
think he's going to be in single digits because there
is a tremendous frustration with not only the the ineptitude
of Biden, but I think also more and more people
are seeing what they're doing to Trump.
Speaker 3 (05:09):
And it's just out. It's just outrageous. I mean, it
truly is.
Speaker 7 (05:14):
Beyond anything that could be considered acceptable in a you know, republic,
in a free society. Remember Lee Zelden did well. I mean,
you know, you know, he didn't manage to be the governor,
but he did well. But because he did well enough
in New York, Long Island is red. I mean Long
Island is now like a bigger version of Staten Island
(05:34):
in terms of its politics. Like Long Island has become
solid red in terms of congressional districts. I think there's
one that we remember there was like a special election
that didn't go our way. But you know, that was
a tough one. But generally speaking, Long Island has gone
in the red direction. That was an off year, so
it's tough to really say what that's all about. I
(05:55):
think that Trump is going to be very well in
New York. I think that also the when you see
Donald Trump making the appeal that he did to this
crowd and the response that people have.
Speaker 3 (06:06):
Uh, I mean, here's I love this.
Speaker 7 (06:07):
You see this guy, this is a and is this
from I want to make sure we credit some of
the folks who are out there doing the on the
ground reporting. I think this is Savannah hernandez uh for
turning point. But let me know, guys if I'm wrong
on that one. This is number two. It's a Bronx
resident who I know. I just want you to hear
from a guy who lives in the Bronx, who is
(06:29):
who is a minority, and this is what he thinks
about Trump coming into this area and given the speech
play it.
Speaker 8 (06:36):
I'm here, well to my star the Trump gathering rout here.
What do you think about a meaning I think is great.
I think it's dope. I well, from from my generation,
from what I know, this is the first time president
has actually came to the hood. I know presidents came
to the Bronx before, but we're talking about Woodlawn, Riverdale.
He has came to Marrisania, South Bronx.
Speaker 7 (07:00):
So I respect that got a guy in the Bronx,
Like I respect the President quoting this gentleman saying he's
come to the hood and that it is dope. And
I just think it's interesting because that's a word that,
like I grew up, everybody in New York was using
that word. That was how we said cool. Right, something's dope.
But I gotta tell you, did you guys have that
in Nashville?
Speaker 3 (07:21):
Just I didn't ever use the word dope.
Speaker 1 (07:23):
But I did think it was funny when I heard
that guy because it did feel like a callback to
the early two thousands. That guy who was being interviewed
probably fifty five something like that, fifty something, real black guy, right,
I mean, yeah, yeah, yeah, and just based on you know,
guessing his age.
Speaker 7 (07:40):
But look, the thing is, there was a fun atmosphere
out there. You see all these videos and you hear
the Trump speech and Clay, you know, okay, maybe, and
there's all the all the haters that you know, Trump
is not going to do anything. He's not going to
change in these demographics you know of voting wise, we
got to remember this. This is the guy that they
say is a a horrible racist.
Speaker 3 (08:01):
White nationalist.
Speaker 7 (08:02):
Yeah, and at some point I think more and more
people who have been told that who aren't Republicans haven't
voted for Trump before, but see this and go, that's
exactly what I said. Trump actually just loves people. He
loves people, He wants people to love him, and he
has a way of connecting that actually has nothing to
(08:23):
do with race or gender or anything else. He just
loves to be in a crowd and wants to celebrate America.
And you can trast that. You already said this with
the Biden speech at Morehouse. Biden's speech at Morehouse was
a disgrace.
Speaker 3 (08:35):
Yeah, it was.
Speaker 1 (08:37):
And I also think it's evidence of starting to be
a little bit of a panic on the Democrat side.
When you panic, you start to take bigger risks than
you otherwise would, and you start to rely on things
that have worked in the past. More aggressively. And I
just think on your point, there's a lot more skepticism
(08:59):
of of what people are told by the media than
ever before. In the wake of COVID, people just have
the sense that they can't trust authority figures in the
same way. And I even thought this black woman who
was interviewed, I thought this was really funny. I'd encourage
you to actually go find the video itself. But cut six,
she's asked, what would you say to a black person
(09:21):
that says you're not black if you're voting for Trump?
Remember that's what Joe Biden himself said during twenty twenty.
Speaker 7 (09:28):
He said it to the Breakfast to the Breakfast ct
on iHeart, Yeah, I listened to cut six.
Speaker 6 (09:35):
Trump sound like Trump.
Speaker 9 (09:36):
Because he's basically representing us, and everything that they're doing
to him is what they can do to us. And
the system is broken, and you know, he's fighter for us,
you know. So I like his policies. I like how
he says it like it is and you know, in
fighting gotta go, you think of that.
Speaker 3 (09:57):
And what would you say to a black person that
says that you're not because you're voted for.
Speaker 9 (10:00):
Trumble Weda and I guess I identify as a white
I don't know. I don't care what anybody has to say.
I'm a mother, I care about the future of my child,
and I care about policies over you know.
Speaker 1 (10:17):
Rhetorics so well said. I mean, remember we're talking about
people just in a park. You know, you know, you
don't know what you're gonna get on the spot. To say, well,
I guess I identify as a white man is very funny.
But I think her answer goes to seeing through the
whyes that have been spread so much over the last
seven or eight years.
Speaker 7 (10:35):
I mean, this idea that Joe Biden has some special
connection to and cares about the black community, which he
he himself Biden constantly tries to position himself that way.
It's just nonsense. Yeah, Joe Biden just wants votes from
the black community. Joe Biden has done nothing of note
for the black community. The only thing they can point
(10:57):
to for you know, on the on the Democrat talking
point side of things, they'll say, well, he's put more people, Uh,
he's he's had more DEI like, he's getting a lot
of a female minority federal judges confirmed, by the way,
just they're doing that as fast as they can.
Speaker 3 (11:12):
That's one thing that's going on.
Speaker 1 (11:13):
And a lot of a lot of these DEI hires
are just did you see the U c l A story.
Speaker 3 (11:18):
I mean, this is blowing up. We're going to talk
to Heather McDonald about that one.
Speaker 7 (11:21):
Yeah, yeah, just to give you a little preview that
We've got a bunch of guests coming on the show today.
We've got Heather McDonald, We've got Bernie Marino running for
Ohio GOP Senate, and we'll talk to him about whether
they should change the state constitution to allow Biden the ballot.
And then our friend Jesse Kelly for some fun in
the third hour. I don't know if you've heard about.
Speaker 3 (11:39):
Red Lobster, but it's like Jesse's not going to get
that red lobster sponsor.
Speaker 7 (11:44):
But we uh will break down all that. But Heather McDonald,
the story that I want to talk to or we
want to talk to her about, is internal data from
UCLA Medical School that has Look, it's just there are
minorities in the medical school who are grossly under qualified
and being pushed through grossly underqualified to practice medicine at
the level they're supposed to at what is considered an
(12:06):
elite medical school that takes one percent of applicants, and
they just keep And there's a woman who runs admissions
there who is an absolute zealot.
Speaker 3 (12:14):
She is a zealot.
Speaker 7 (12:15):
If she has to take somebody who can barely read,
if she has to take somebody who has bottom of
the of the barrel MCAT scores, she does not care.
It's a I forget her name. But and there's a
white woman who runs admissions there. And we're talking to
Heather McDonald about it, because this has huge downstream implications
(12:36):
for obviously the medical world, but also just it's unconstitutional, Clay.
This is part of the problem. This is we've gone
so far in the direction of race based hiring and
race based you know, affirmative action, all these things that
even after the Supreme Court says, you know, you can't
do this, right, all.
Speaker 3 (12:53):
These places are still doing it.
Speaker 7 (12:55):
They're just trying to find ways to hide that they're
doing it. And I think that when Trump goes and
he speaks in an area that's I said seventy five percent.
I checked that out afterwards. It is just about that.
It's about seventy five percent black and Hispanic and he's talking.
Speaker 3 (13:10):
He is talking to.
Speaker 7 (13:11):
Them as fellow human beings that he wants to represent
and help get wealthier and help chase the American dream.
He's not saying everything stinks and the other people are
horrible and if you don't vote for me, nothing good
can happen to you. Well, he might say a little
bit of that, because Biden's horrible, but he's not saying
that America sucks.
Speaker 1 (13:31):
You're gonna get put in chains or your art, your
actual race if you vote for the other side. He's
saying what I think is the eternal American dream, which
is black, white, Asian, Hispanic, gay, straight, whatever your sexuality
or ethnicity is, you come here, you bust your ass,
you can get ahead. And that's what the data reflects.
Speaker 7 (13:51):
Trump's Trump's message to a you know, to a Hispanic
single mom who lives in Woodlawn, or to a black
guy who's commute from the South Bronx every day down
to manhad to do his job, is I want to
make it easier for you to move up the financial
ladder and have more financial freedom and security and have
your piece of the American dream. Joe Biden's thing is
(14:13):
there are these rich people. I'm going to tax them more,
but I'm also going to give a lot of benefits
to illegals who just got here and not you.
Speaker 3 (14:21):
That's a big problem for him. By the way, we
haven't really even got into that, clay the.
Speaker 7 (14:26):
Democrats bending over backwards for illegals. Hispanic and Black Americans
see that, and they go, what's that all about? You know,
and remember it's illegals.
Speaker 3 (14:39):
From all over the world, over one hundred and sixty countries.
So this game they play off, Oh, it's racist.
Speaker 7 (14:45):
It's racist, I mean from what races and people coming
from all over the world they're legally into America. So
that's another major challenge that the Democrats have here that
Biden has here. We'll take some of your calls on
this one. By the way, if anyone listening was at
a rally, oh yeah, good, you gonna be yeah, you know,
if any wo r listeners, if you that's our fantastic
(15:07):
New York City flagship station.
Speaker 3 (15:09):
If you are listening, or you know, if you just
happen to swing.
Speaker 7 (15:13):
By there, please do give us a call eight hundred
two two two eight eight two. And also, honestly, if
we have anyone listening who's black or Hispanic and wants
to weigh on just how what do you think that
other black and Hispanic Americans are seeing the light so
to speak when it comes to Trump. Is this really?
Is this really happening? I want to hear from some
of our black and Hispanic listener. Let's put that one
out there too. Look, there's something else I want to
(15:35):
talk to you about. It's important preborn. Newer medicines on
the market offer women considering an abortion easy access. For
those who value the life of every unborn child, providing
an alternative is more important than ever. It's why the
Preborn Network of Clinics has so many locations nationwide. They
specifically place these clinics in communities where abortion rates are highest.
(15:55):
Their message to these pregnant mothers is clear, meet your
unborn child through an ultrasound. Consider all the resources will
provide you, including baby supplies, maternity clothing, up to two
years of support. All of those services at Preborn are
free to these moms. Your donations, you listening, your donations
the pro life community have made this mission possible, and
(16:17):
especially that ultrasound experience is saving baby's lives just by
giving the mother more information and letting her make a
more informed choice about what to do life or something else.
One ultrasound is just twenty eight dollars, but any gift
will help, and I appreciate so much some of you
listening have already done this leadership gifts. Thank you so much.
(16:41):
A leadership gift of five thousand dollars will underwrite ultrasounds
for the entire network for a day. Now. I know
for so many of you don't have five thousand dollars
to donate to the best cause. I understand that, but
there are some of you right now who do. There
are a handful of you who do. It's entirely tax deductible,
and you will save hundreds of babies lives with this
tax deductible gift. All you have to do right now,
(17:03):
By the way, please, if you can donate twenty dollars,
twenty eight dollars, ten dollars, whatever you can spare, dial
pound two five zero say baby on your cell phone.
That's pound two five zero, say the keyword baby. Or
to donate online. That's what I do. Go to preborn
dot com, slash buck, preborn dot com, slash.

Speaker 7 (17:35):
Second Hour Clay and Buck kicks off. Now we are
joined by the one and only Heather McDonald, Manhattan's student
fellow author of When Race Trump's Merit. She has a
fascinating and really unsettling peace in City Journal California's looming
crime catastrophe. Recent legislation makes it easier for felons to
(17:56):
claim racial bias. We're going to talk you at this
and also the UCLA Medical School revelation. The first walk
people through this because this is one of those things
that the first time you hear what's going on in California,
even for California, it's hard to believe this is really
going on, but it is.
Speaker 3 (18:16):
What's happening.
Speaker 11 (18:17):
Well, thanks so much for having me on Buck.
Speaker 4 (18:20):
A law has been passed in California that basically puts
into practice every tenet of critical race theory and.
Speaker 11 (18:28):
Anti white privilege ideas.
Speaker 4 (18:31):
It holds that because we all know that, of course
the criminal justice system is racist and the only reason
that there's a higher proportion of Blacks in prison than
other groups must be criminal justice racism.
Speaker 11 (18:47):
It cannot be higher rates of crime.
Speaker 4 (18:50):
The law has decided that all that a black defendant
needs to do to unravel, to discredit, to stop in
the track his prosecution is to allege that in the
past there was a pattern of bias against black defendants.
The law explicitly says it's too difficult to prove bias
(19:15):
in the individual case that a defendant was arrested out
of police bias or was prosecuted out of prosecutorial bias.
So we're just going to get rid of that requirement.
And all a black defendant needs to do is allege
that in the past members of his race were treated
(19:38):
unfairly because of their race. And this is a complete
destruction of the idea of individual fault of individual proof.
And the kicker is is that as of this year,
anybody in prison today in California, if your minority, you
(19:58):
can retroactively challenge your sentencing or your arrest and get resentenced.
This is a recipe to take down the criminal justice system.
Speaker 11 (20:12):
And the left knows it.
Speaker 4 (20:14):
They are celebrating this as the opportunity to end what
they view as a racist.
Speaker 11 (20:23):
Process against blacks.
Speaker 3 (20:26):
Heather, thanks for coming on.
Speaker 1 (20:28):
I mean, you have done incredible work on so many
different stories relating to DEI and the dishonesty in the
way that race has talked about in America today. UCLA,
I would submit to you, and I'm curious if you
would agree that most people out there care not at
all about diversity equine inclusion, the more serious the issue
(20:50):
that they face is. For instance, I don't think anybody
cares about anything other than do they have the best
doctor when they have a serious medical issue.
Speaker 3 (20:58):
And certainly I don't.
Speaker 1 (21:00):
Think anybody cares about when they get on an airplane
anything other than is the pilot of badass am I
as safe as I could possibly be. The former that
I just mentioned, UCLA is now making diversity one of
the hallmarks of its medical training, and as a result,
it appears they are admitting severely underqualified students to be
(21:23):
trained as doctors. What is the data showing us and
how alarming should that be given that UCLA is considered
to be one of the most elite, I believe, of
the medical institutions out there, certainly in the state of California.
Speaker 4 (21:39):
Well, it's extraordinarily alarming, Clay, But it's far beyond UCLA.
This is going on everywhere and has been going on
for decades. We are admitting students on the basis of race,
not merit, that are not competitively qualified. They are not
keeping up. And when minority students that have been admitted
(22:00):
under these massive racial preferences, they're admitted with scores on
the medical college admission test that would be automatically disqualifying.
They're so low if presented by a wider Asian applicant, predictably,
they end up at the bottom of their class. They
struggle to pass exams, qualifying exams, and so the result is,
(22:22):
of course, well, we're not going to actually now reimpose
meritocratic standards. We're going to lift those standards as well,
and so I will pass them along. But this has
been going on for a very long.
Speaker 11 (22:36):
Time, Clay.
Speaker 4 (22:37):
In the nineteen eighties, there was a Harvard Medical School
professor who wrote a very anodyne editorial in the Journal
of American Medical Association JEMMA, and he recounted that a
student at a prestigious medical school, which turned out to
be Harvard, but he didn't name the school, had failed
the medical licensing exam five times, passed.
Speaker 11 (23:00):
Them along anyway.
Speaker 4 (23:02):
Because the pressure to show diversity is so great. We
know that if you have not been able to pass
licensing exams, the data shows you're going to be much
more likely to be brought before a medical licensing board
for malpractice. It has an effect on patient outcomes, on
(23:23):
patient mortality. This data has been out there for decades
and it's completely brushed under the rug because America has
decided that its racial guilt is so enormous that it
would rather subject unknown patients to less qualified or unqualified
physicians than live with the fact that the academic skills
(23:46):
gap is so huge that if you maintain meritocratic standards,
you're not going to have racial proportionality. The solution to
that is not to tear down the standards. Our standards
are not racist. Whether it's in the criminal law or
in medicine or in high tech, those standards are not
racist their color blood. The problem is the skills gap,
and the problem is the crime gap.
Speaker 7 (24:08):
We're speaking to Heather MacDonald and she's got a really
important piece that's cross posted right now but at clayanbuck
dot com, so you can go to claanbuck dot com
and you'll see California's looming crime catastrophe by Heather McDonald.
By the way, crime is already a problem there, but
it's going to get a whole lot worse if this
law that she's talking about continues to be put into practice.
(24:29):
There's this change in the ability for felons to contest
their incarceration and their prosecution based on the allegations of
historic group racism. But Heather, one issue that I feel
like doesn't get anywhere near enough attention. We're talking about
the on the medical school side of things, the changing
of standards. It seems that the Supreme Court has made
(24:52):
pretty clear that it's actually you're actually not allowed to
do this anymore. You're not supposed to be doing this anymore.
Speaker 3 (24:59):
But are they just doing it in all these schools anyway?
I mean, how how.
Speaker 7 (25:03):
Do we finally get and in California it's been illegal
to do this under state law for a long They
got rid of racial preferences, I think back in the nineties.
Speaker 3 (25:11):
But people just do it anyway? Is that the state
of play?
Speaker 4 (25:15):
Of course, there's no way that these schools are going
to give up on diversity. Diversity and the fight against
phantom racism is the only unifying ideology on a college
campus today. It's brought us the Hamas protests, the Progamas hysteria,
because that's it's all linked, it's all intersectional. You know,
(25:35):
you just simply believe that whites are evil, Western civilization
is evil. Israel is now white and Western and therefore evil,
and so you have these bizarre alliances. But yes, this
is the this they've been They've been trying to duck
the rules in California for a long time. And the
way they do that is with this idea of holistic admissions.
(25:59):
So they say, well, well, we're not really looking at race,
but we're looking at economic disadvantage or the individual that
it's just been so hard to struggle against racism. By
the way, you're also black, that we're going to admit you.
And sadly, the Supreme Court decision two summers ago that
banned racial preferences did allow a very big loophole in
(26:22):
where Chief Justice Roberts said, well, of course we can't
ban you from taking into account individual essays, and so
the schools can continue noticing legally that the author of
an essay is black. And they can say, well, we're
not just we don't have some hard and fast racial quota.
(26:43):
It just so happens that when we do holistic admissions,
we still end up promoting minority students who again would
be automatically disqualified if their grades and test scores were
presented by whites and Asians.
Speaker 11 (26:57):
It's a complete double standard. It's war on excellence.
Speaker 4 (27:01):
And let's be honest, this is a very difficult thing
to say, but you guys have the courage to say it,
and you've been saying it. It is a war on whites,
and now it's a war on Asians as well.
Speaker 1 (27:13):
Heather, are you optimistic? I'm trying to have an optimistic
day as we roll into the the holiday weekend, and
I wanted to hit you with something. You've been very
important in talking about the war on cops. In the
wake of twenty twenty, that we have seen police officers
constantly targeted, the rates of violence against them have skyrocketed.
(27:37):
I saw a recent poll where support for police officers
in America is starting to skyrocket back up as one
of the most trusted groups of people in America. That
used to be the case for most of my life.
I would imagine for most of your life. Are you
seeing or hearing from your sources any suggestion that the
(27:59):
war on cops, which was unmistakably occurring for years, has
started to lead to more people out there saying, wait
a minute, this is way overboard. We've got it back
the blue. We got to support police and their ability
to do their job.
Speaker 4 (28:16):
Well, it depends on what people you're talking about. If
you're talking about your average American, that well maybe the case.
The question is are the policy makers pulling back on that?
And you know, if I want to be optimistic, which
is very much against my nature, but I'll go along
with your Memorial Day push here.
Speaker 3 (28:35):
I appreciate that.
Speaker 4 (28:37):
You know, when the Biden goes around saying, oh, we've
got the lowest crime right ever and crime is dropping.
Speaker 11 (28:42):
Hey, that's not true, but crime is dropping. The reason
it's dropping.
Speaker 4 (28:46):
To the extent it is, and that's still very contestable,
is because a lot of these left wing cities have said, whoa,
we need more cops.
Speaker 6 (28:55):
Now.
Speaker 4 (28:55):
It's very still very hard to higher cops. There's a
recruiting crisis in this country because who wants to start
a job when from the first day the President of
the United States is going to be saying you're a racist,
and the entire elite democratic class and the media is
going to be saying you're a racist.
Speaker 11 (29:12):
But there are some.
Speaker 4 (29:13):
Jurisdictions like Baltimore, Washington, d C. That have pulled back
on some of the anti cop measures that are saying,
we need proactive policing, We need law enforcement officers to
use their constitutional powers of observation to make stops to
questions people engaged in suspicious behavior. So that has been
(29:33):
changing to a certain extent. On the other hand, you know,
I'm watching Chicago right now where there's a battle over
whether to reinstate shot spotter technology. The mayor, Brandon Johnson,
wants to get rid of it because get this, cameras
are racist. Audio technology is racist if it turns out
that you put audio sensors to hear shootings, and those
(29:56):
audio sensors, which by the way, have no conscious they
don't know where the shots are coming from, who's shooting
the gun not it is the police for that matter.
Speaker 11 (30:05):
But the censors don't.
Speaker 4 (30:07):
Those are racist audio sensors because they show us that
the vast majority of drive by shootings occur in black
neighborhoods and who are the victims blacks? But we're not
supposed to care about that. So the left wants to
get rid of shot spotter technology because it's racist in
telling us that blacks are shooting each other at just
enormous rates. Black juveniles are shot at one hundred times
(30:31):
the rate of white juveniles in the post George Floyd
race riot world. But there's parts of the Chicago City
Council that is standing up to Mayor Brandon Johnson in
Chicago and saying, whoa, we want the shot spotter. And
here's the really hilarious thing. Clay and By Johnson wants
to cancel the shot Spotter contract, but only after the
(30:52):
DNC convention.
Speaker 11 (30:54):
He will.
Speaker 4 (30:54):
We'll keep it then so that we can maybe keep
the gang bangers off the street and minimize our chances
of having, you know, conventioneers.
Speaker 11 (31:02):
Shot in a drive by shooting. After that, we're going
to get rid of it.
Speaker 4 (31:05):
But the Council is pushing back and saying, no, this
is a technology that works, and we're not going to
buckle under the absolutely preposterous charge that a censor for
shooting is a racist A.
Speaker 7 (31:18):
Machine Chicago would be such a great city and get
such a renaissance. I think if they could just get
the crime situation under control, but Democrats aren't willing to
do what they need to do. Heather MacDonald from the
Manhattan Institute when Race Trump's merit is her book. Also
go to Clanbuck dot com. Her piece California's Looming Crime
Catastrophe is there. Heather, great work as always, thanks for
(31:39):
being with us.
Speaker 11 (31:41):
Thanks clam Beck, It's an honor.
Speaker 1 (31:43):
She really does do phenomenal work. I'd encourage you to
go read that book, Fearless in an Arrow when Buck,
As you well know, far too many.
Speaker 7 (31:50):
People in media or cowards, that is the word for fearless. Yeah,
fearless and factual. Yeah, good good combo. Look, you know
it's another good combo. Not having huge issues with your house.
Speaker 1 (32:02):
And right now backyard of the Travis household, there is
wiffleball practice going on. My boys are going to want
to be playing woffleball the entire Memorial Day weekend. They
would play fifteen hours a day if they could. And
as a result, there's woffleballs all banging into my house
at all hours, all day long. Now that school is
(32:23):
out for the summer, it's going to become even more incessant. Also,
soon those gutters they're going to be filling up for fall.
Maybe these may rain showers that are coming down right now.
It's summer, probably raining a lot more around wherever you are,
and you're seeing them even more. If you own a home.
One part of that maintenance is the rain gutters, particularly
(32:45):
if you have a yard full of trees. When the
water can't escape, seeps into the house, your foundation.
Speaker 3 (32:53):
No fun. You may have experienced that.
Speaker 1 (32:54):
You ever look up see those gutters pouring rain and
then you're like, uh, oh, that ain't the gutter that's
coming down through another part of the house. Probably has
happened to you, it's happened to me. You can help
prevent that with lee filter they're coming out to my house.

Him as conservative radio hosts, Now just get to know
them as guys on the Sunday Hang podcast with Clay
and Fuck. Find it in their podcast feed on the
iHeartRadio app or wherever you get your podcasts.
Speaker 3 (33:57):
Welcome back in, Clay, Travis Buck.
Speaker 1 (33:59):
Sex didn't show Bernie Marino's scheduled to join us right
about now, so we may get a call, or we
may not. The campaign going on in Iowa, they may
have gotten caught up somewhere, or as often is the case, still,
I don't know when it's ever going to end. There's
still a lot of areas where cell phones just don't
work all over the country, and we're, you know, twenties
(34:21):
for a generation into everybody having cell phones at this point,
and it still doesn't make any sense to me. You
guys listening to us right now probably know certain places
close to your home where you're on the phone and
you're like, hey, it's probably going to drop here.
Speaker 3 (34:35):
It always drops.
Speaker 1 (34:37):
I did want to hit on this the UH decision
on the mar Lago raid. The fact that deadly force
was authorized really that got Democrats rattled. I'm sure you
saw this. Buck Merrick Garland, the Attorney General who signed
off on this raid, even felt compelled to say what
(34:58):
they're telling you is not true. Even though it is true.
Listen to cut seven.
Speaker 12 (35:05):
That allegation is false and it is extremely dangerous. The
document that has been referred to in the allegation is
a Justice Department standard policy limiting the use of force.
As the FBI advises, it is part of the standard
operations plan for searches, and in fact, it was even
(35:26):
used in the consensual search of President Biden's home.
Speaker 3 (35:30):
I just want to show us, show us that yes,
show us that I agree.
Speaker 7 (35:33):
What want to put online the official document and no
faking official documents because that.
Speaker 3 (35:41):
Would be a no no.
Speaker 7 (35:42):
Put online the official document that shows us the authorization
for lethal force to pick up classified at Joe Biden's
beach house next to the corvette, hopefully not near Hunter's
bag of cocaine. Like, show us where this is, you
know what I mean, We're just with agree. I'm not
taking his word for anything.
Speaker 1 (36:00):
And also that first of all, I don't believe it's true,
because I think the document would have been released if
it were true.
Speaker 3 (36:06):
Maybe it will come out at some point.
Speaker 1 (36:09):
But even if it is true, as the Attorney General
who said that you personally made the decision to approve
the raid at mar A Lago, Merrick Garland's a smart guy.
He certainly understood that the action he was undertaking had
never occurred before in the history of the United States.
That is, the sitting President's Department of Justice, his FBI
(36:32):
raids the former president. Shouldn't he go ahead and own
that he screwed this up instead of claiming its standard
operating procedure. Bernie Marino joins us. Now, Bernie appreciates you.
We're rooting for you to flip Ohio back to a
full red state. But I'm curious what you think of
all this controversy about whether Joe Biden should be on
(36:55):
the ballot or not in Ohio and the scramble that
Democrat failure in terms of the timing of their Democrat
National Convention has put in place with Ohio law. How
do you break all this down?
Speaker 2 (37:10):
Yeah, I mean, obviously, if the tables are turned, let's
be honest, they would never lift a finger to President
Trump on the ballot, that they would do the exact opposite.
My perspective is, let's not be like them. And number one,
number two, let's show America that Ohio's Trump country. So
let's put Biden on the ballot so that we can
absolutely beat him by fifteen plus points and humiliate his
(37:33):
give him a humiliating loss here in Ohio. He deserves
that after everything he's done to this century of the
last three and a half years. I'd like to see
him soundly defeated here in Ohio.
Speaker 7 (37:43):
How is it looking right now? What are the latest
numbers telling you about how Biden's going to fare? And
is the Ohio GOP ready for the challenge?
Speaker 6 (37:53):
Oh? Absolutely.
Speaker 2 (37:53):
We have a great state party. We have a great
county party system. We have eighty eight very healthy county party.
If the election were today.
Speaker 6 (38:03):
President Trump would probably win by twenty points.
Speaker 3 (38:07):
Twenty point win.
Speaker 1 (38:09):
Is there any way you don't win if Trump wins
by twenty How connected do you think the vote is
going to be in Ohio when it comes to presidential
ticket and Senate ticket.
Speaker 2 (38:20):
I think it'll be very connected. I think there's not
a lot of crossover anymore. But I'll caution this. You
know there's today the election is a twenty point victory.
But let's not discount the creativity of the radical left
to cause god knows what grief, and also the entirety
of the mainstream media is going to do the bidding
(38:43):
of Sherif Brown and Joe Biden.
Speaker 6 (38:44):
Let's not discount that.
Speaker 3 (38:46):
I actually saw that.
Speaker 1 (38:47):
I know your campaign's going well, Bernie, because I saw
the New York Times came after you and your entire
life history in a bio piece, and I always think
when I read those, man burn he must be running
a good campaign when The New York Times dedicates three
thousand words to saying, Oh, Bernie's actually a really bad guy.
Speaker 3 (39:07):
What'd you think of that profile? What did it tell
you about the campaign?
Speaker 2 (39:12):
Well that they obviously can't talk about Sharon Brown's accomplishments,
so they have to debase me and my family. You know,
the tadab moment in that article was, well, Bernie said
it was a two bedroom apartment. Turns out there was
three bedrooms. It's two bedrooms in a DNA. We really
arguing about this, and by the way, it had two
bathrooms and It was five brothers, myself, my sister, my mom,
(39:33):
my dad, my grandfather, and my grandmother.
Speaker 6 (39:35):
So it was definitely the lap of luxury according to the.
Speaker 2 (39:38):
New York Times, you know, and my dad was making
five dollars and twenty five cents an hour raising seven kids.
Speaker 6 (39:44):
But of course it's just ridiculous.
Speaker 2 (39:46):
But there is no separation between the New York Times
and the Democrat Party. That's that's what I learned in
my brief time in politics.
Speaker 7 (39:57):
And Connor and Bernie, do you remember, do you remember
when they went after Marco Ruby when Hillary Clinton was
giving speeches for two hundred fifty thousand dollars a pop,
and they found out that Marco, hopefully soon to be
your centate Republican colleague, had like a family fishing boat
that was worth like sixty grand or something. In The
New York Times tried to hit him on that one,
and then everyone was talking about how many how many
(40:17):
Marco boats Hillary gets paid for speech?
Speaker 6 (40:21):
Marco Rubio's luxury yacht.
Speaker 7 (40:23):
Yeah, that's no, that's how they were positioning, like, oh,
the spendthrift Rubio. Anyway, you know, you know what you're
up against with the New York Times they're completely an
early in the tank for the other side, What do
you I mean for the people who are wondering, you know,
how this is going to shape up, you know, against Biden.
Speaker 3 (40:40):
What's your expectation for what they're going to try to
hammer in your state?
Speaker 6 (40:45):
Like?
Speaker 7 (40:45):
What is the because Biden can't be the tip of
the spear of their attack, right because it's Biden and
we all know this. Are they just going to go
on abortion stuff and threats to democracy?
Speaker 6 (40:56):
Like?
Speaker 3 (40:57):
How are they going to try to position themselves.
Speaker 2 (41:00):
In the you can't make this up department? Sharat Brown
is trying to position himself are you ready for this one?
Speaker 6 (41:06):
As a Trump guy? So he's aligning himself saying.
Speaker 2 (41:09):
I'm with Trump on trade, I'm with Trump on taxes,
I'm with Trump on immigration, I'm with Trump on stopping fentanyl.
That is his current theme, which is again you know,
you have to suspend metality to think that, oh, it's
totally wild, but and I you know, listen, let's not
be surprised when in October Sharon Brown endorses President Trump
and to Joe Biden, I see that as plausible.
Speaker 1 (41:33):
That would be wild, So you think it's possible the
sitting Democrat senator is going to be floundering and trying
to win to such a degree that he might endorse
Donald Trump as President of the United States.
Speaker 3 (41:45):
In Ohio, oh.
Speaker 2 (41:47):
Absolutely, I mean his ads are basically heading that direction anyway.
I mean, when if you have air Force one that
comes anywhere near Ohio airspace, you can hear Shara Brown
running to a bunker.
Speaker 1 (42:03):
That is pretty incredible to think about. So when you're
on the road. For people out there who pay a
lot of attention to the presidential race, that obviously matters
a great deal. But if you beat shared Brown, given
what's going on in West Virginia, Republicans take control of
the Senate. Obviously, there are a lot of other races
that are of high significance. But how much do you
(42:27):
think about that impact in terms of what it could
do for the nation to take back control of the Senate,
not to mention take back control of Ohio completely.
Speaker 2 (42:36):
Well, I think we have to paint that picture for voters.
It means a safe and secure border, It means zero
legal immigration, It means we have safety and security. It
means we have a stronger country because we have a
stronger economy, We make things here in America again. We
restore a growing and thriving middle class. We have energy dominance,
we don't need any energy from any other country on Earth,
(42:59):
and we have peace his stability around the world. That
is what we will deliver for the American people if
they give us the opportunity of the White House and
the Senate in the House again.
Speaker 7 (43:08):
Bernie Marino, Bernie, worship folks, go especially. We've got a
lot of Ohio listeners. They want to get involved in
help I need.
Speaker 2 (43:15):
I need to help them. Your listeners, they can go
on the website, Bernie marinomr EO dot com. Sharre Brown
is going to have every horrible dark organization around the
country supporting him. I need the grassroots supporters, the conservatives
that love this country.
Speaker 6 (43:30):
And want to get our country back.
Speaker 3 (43:31):
There we go, Bernie Marino. Everybody go check it out. Bernie,
thanks for being.
Speaker 6 (43:34):
With us, of course, thank you guys.
Speaker 1 (43:37):
Welcome back in Clay Travis buck Sexton Show Memorial Day
Weekend Friday. We're joined now by Jesse Kelly faulding Man
who orders seventy five dollars shots when he goes out
drinking in New York City and also a diehard fan
of Red Lobster. Where on the flow chart of anger, sadness,
(43:59):
despair does Red Lobster closing rank? And how would you
compare it to the Michigan Wolverines being a vastly superior
football program, now to the Ohio State Buckeyes.
Speaker 13 (44:12):
First of all, I just want to point out to
everybody that you're a bad person, okay, And I resent
your comments almost as much as I resent that mop
of hair you still have on your head. That's you
and Buck, both of you with all this hair. What
a couple of hippies. That's one. Two people do not
appreciate red lobster. It's thought of as some kind of
(44:33):
I don't know. I don't know why it's not thought
of where it should be, as the pinnacle of American cuisine.
We only had one in Montana when I was a kid,
and it was two and a half hours away and
we could never go out to eat. But whenever we
would go over to this town, we would always go
to Red Lobster and it was it always delivers. Red
Lobster has been the peak of American seafood forever, and
(44:55):
I am legit upset about it. I have one three
hundred meters. I would say, from where I'm sitting right now,
I eat there twice a week and it's closing up.
I'm devastated.
Speaker 3 (45:08):
Well, so what happened?
Speaker 7 (45:10):
I mean, there's this rumor out there that and I
don't know if you partook in this, mister Jesse Kelly,
that it was the endless shrimp that was the last straw,
if you will. They went endless shrimp, and people kind
of like Homer Simpson when Hell is feeding them donuts
and Hell runs out of donuts.
Speaker 3 (45:28):
Remember that that people.
Speaker 7 (45:29):
Could eat more shrimp than they ever anticipated at corporate
headquarters for Red Lobster, and that that was the coup
de grass, if you will, the final moment for Red Lobster.
Is that true or is that just rumor mill stuff.
Speaker 13 (45:44):
It's probably rumor mill stuff, but I'd like to think
that it's true because it's the kind of thing Red
Lobster would do. Red Lobster hasn't been about profit. It's
not been about making money for the restaurant itself. Red
Lobster has been about sustaining an American population with high
end seafood since its inception. And I would say I
(46:04):
don't want to speak for the owners. I'm sure the
owners are, you know, wonderful Christian people or whatever, but
I don't want to speak for them. But I would
imagine that's how they would want to go, giving away
the last of their vast wealth to the people so
the people could enjoy. Have you, guys, ever had the
shrimp scampy for med lobster? Have either of you ever
sat down and enjoyed that delicious buttery bowl of garlicy
(46:29):
shrimp scampy? It will change your life. And then you
take the cheddar bay biscuits and you dip them in
the butter in the shrimp scampy bowl. Gosh, I'm starving.
Speaker 1 (46:40):
So I think most of our audience, and I don't
know if you would subscribe to this, would say Chick
fil A, if you had to pick one fast food restaurant,
is the best fast food restaurant in America. Now, look,
there are others that I really like. I'm a fan
of Zaxby's. I'm a fan of raisin Canes. These are
(47:01):
Southern places sometimes that he's talking about, just to be clear,
to be fair, like Sunday Sunday Meal. When I was
a kid growing up was Captain D's, which I don't
think exists anymore. It was the seafood fast food, which
doesn't sound like a combo.
Speaker 7 (47:17):
That would be really popular during Sexton family road trips.
I'll just tell you we would have the argument about
fast food, and my dad would just the argument or
was always burger king flame broiled, so that advertising worked
really well.
Speaker 1 (47:29):
So what is Jesse? Let's presume that all Red Lobsters
shut down? What would be and I'm not talking about
fast food? What would be your number two draft pick
of a place that would try to fill the great
void in your life that was formerly occupied by Red Lobster.
I would suggest this is my nomination. I'm curious what
(47:52):
Buck would say too. Olive Garden is probably the best.
Speaker 7 (47:57):
I think by the company. I think they almost oh
they used to be. They spun it off.
Speaker 1 (48:03):
But I would say Olive Garden would now be the
peak of American chain sit down dining. What would your
argument be, Jesse?
Speaker 13 (48:12):
It definitely wouldn't be Olive Garden, which is low rent trash,
it's not high end like Red Lobster. It figures you
would pick Olive Garden, now, don't get me wrong, Just
like anyone else who who's alive and has taste buds.
I love going to Olive Garden and comeling down some
breadsticks as much as the nests. Man, I'm a big
fan of that. But as far as replacements go, I've
already picked my replacement. People think I've got one white
(48:33):
trash thing in my back pocket. I've been white trash
for the forty two years of my existence. I just
took my sons to waffle House the other day. They
love it. My wife refuses to go in. She says
there are some clemingist problems which I have personally never seen,
but waffle House. You know what waffle House has. Everyone
knows about the waffles and the breakfasts and the smothered
and covered and the fist fights and everything else. What
(48:55):
people don't understand is the cheeseburger at waffle House is
top tier. It's as good as any restaurant burger you
can get out there, now, are they Jesse Kelly Burgers? No,
of course, nobody's perfect, but waffle House cheeseburgers, hash brown,
smothered covered, Oh, that's as good as it.
Speaker 3 (49:13):
Have you ever been to a waffle House? Buck?
Speaker 5 (49:16):
Uh?
Speaker 7 (49:16):
Yeah, yeah, I've been like hungover as a college kid.
For sure, I've been to waffle House, that's their staple.
But I just think it's funny that as we're talking
about this last twenty four hours, also, the CEO of
Cracker Barrel has recently apparently said, yeah, we're just like
not as good as we used to be or something.
I'm just like, wait, what's going on the why would
you throw your own stuff under the bus that way?
(49:37):
Before we get into the Cracker Barrel discussions to say, Jesse,
we asked for some of our VIPs to put you
on the hot seat. And this is clearly somebody who's
a Clay and Buck and Jesse Kelly listener, because I
don't even know what's going on here. Brian, one of
our Klayanbuck VIPs, rights ask Jesse if he could defeat
fifty iguanas with a slingshot to defend himself shields high Brian, the.
Speaker 3 (50:00):
What is he? Can you defeat fifty iguanas with a slingshot?
What is he talking about?
Speaker 13 (50:05):
Yeah, I'm deadly with a slingshot. You see, when I
was a child, all I would do is I would leave.
You know, this is back in the day when you
just got kicked out of the house, and we had
these woods back beyond my house, and I didn't have
any neighbors close to me, so I was constantly stuck
in my own world, talking to myself, playing with myself,
doing all those kinds of things. And the slingshot. I
got a slingshot for Christmas one year, and let me
(50:27):
tell you what, I was, basically the world's deadliest sniper
with that thing. I'd be taken out squirrels like you
can't imagine. My mom would be thrilled to come home
and find a bunch of dead squirrels in the window
sill in the kitchen. You can bring on iguanas, You
could bring on rhinocera, a bunch of rhinos, and I
would manage to take them out with a slingshot as well.
(50:48):
I'm basically king David.
Speaker 7 (50:51):
What is your best? As we're going off the holiday weekend,
we had a conversation about this. There's a Wall Street
Journal piece on the science of having the best possible vacation.
What is it, Jesse Kelly version of having the best
possible vacation? Buy you know by the advice you can give?
Speaker 13 (51:08):
Okay, Well, are we talking now, are we talking a
realistic vacation or Jesse's all of a sudden a billionaire
and I can go and do well.
Speaker 7 (51:16):
No real realistic, Like if you're giving folks like the
basic nuts and bolts of how to have a good
long weekend, right because they talk about things like don't
try to do too much, don't look for the best,
look for good enough. Stuff like that, like what's what's
your your real deal wisdom or advice on a great
American long weekend.
Speaker 13 (51:33):
Okay, here's the best American long weekend you can possibly have.
What you need is either a mountain or a lake.
You need a cabin on a lake or a cabin
on a mountain, and it has to be an hour
or less away from your home. Otherwise. This is where
people screw up with vacations all the time, especially long
weekend vacations. You got seventy two hours, you got three
(51:55):
days max? Okay, we'll make it. Maybe you've got ninety
six hours, Maybe you got a four day or are
you going to bookend your vacation with three four hours
of either driving the kids and getting daddy I get
a beer, or you're gonna go fight off to the
eight hundred pounds TSA agent at the airport trying to
get to and fro. No, thank you, it has to
(52:17):
be less than an hour away. You don't need a beach.
The beach is the most overrated thing in the world.
I don't want sand in my ears. I don't with this.
The beach is fun for an hour, and then I
can't read anymore. I'm hot. It's miserable. Go to a lake,
A raft a lake. One of the styrofoam coolers full
of beer is all you need to have the best
weekend in the world.
Speaker 1 (52:39):
That's not bad advice, except you're totally wrong on all
beach related opinions. And I bet you haven't been to
thirty a, which is where I'm about to head the
Florida Gulf Coast. You're talking about like redneck Galveston, Texas.
You're talking about throwing I'm sorry, Galveston. I mean it
is like, no everybody body in Texas. They don't have
(53:01):
a beach in Texas that anybody wants to go to.
Speaker 3 (53:04):
Oh, it's true that aggression cannot stand.
Speaker 13 (53:08):
First of all, I fully admit that Galveston, Texas is
kind of a rundown beach town and that's part of
its charm. But don't you dare call Galveston garbage while
pointing out the Florida Golf Coast. I love the Florida
Golf Coast. I go down there every chance I get.
Have you seen people smile when the Florida Golf Coast play,
It'll look like Leon Spinks. Don't tell me about the
(53:31):
Florida Golf Coast as if it's.
Speaker 3 (53:33):
The correct I'm not talking. First of all, the people
are fabulous.
Speaker 1 (53:37):
Second, they may not have as many teeth as they
would like, but that's what happens when you live well.
Speaker 3 (53:41):
Also, I would just.
Speaker 1 (53:43):
Say all of Texas biggest flaw that Texas has. The
beaches are a disaster. Everybody listening to me in Texas
right now. They come to the Florida Gulf Coast because
the beaches are white sand, because the water is emerald colored.
It's like you're in the Mediatarean and it is spectacular.
And I subminietrated with more trumpet legs, that's right, the
(54:05):
Mediterranean with more trump fat flags, which is a good combo.
And by the way, jesse As, we're about to go
out here. My mom want it she just texted. She said,
Dad and I ate at Red Lobster yesterday. Shrimp scampy
is my favorite. So you've at least won over my mom.
Speaker 13 (54:20):
Yeah, I love her already. She's by far the smartest Travis,
that's for sure.
Speaker 7 (54:25):
Do you think they're gonna keep making those cheddar Bay
biscuits even when the clothes because my sister and her
husband love those things, like I'm pretty sure they would
drive multiple hours just for the biscuits.
Speaker 13 (54:37):
Buck, A great product never ever ever leaves. Once you
achieved the pinnacle of something, it never leaves. It may
be ripped up, rebuild, it may be bought by someone else,
But when you've achieved the culinary masterpiece that is the
Cheddar Bay biscuit, it will be here long after you
and I are dead and gone. Brother.
Speaker 7 (54:54):
I don't want to stroke your ego too much before
we go off for the weekend. But there are people
I have seen on the inter webs who think that
you're so called best burger ever imaginable is actually really good?
Where can they go and find out about this supposedly
amazing burger that apparently a lot of people.
Speaker 13 (55:11):
Like I actually have to give unique guidance on this,
because now this thing is taken on a life of
its own, and apparently they're about eight million blogs out
there called the Jesse Kelly Burger, and most of them
are wrong. They just kind of decided to come up
with their own recipe and called the Jesse Kelly Burger.
So just look up Jesse Kelly cheeseburger and click on
a video of me describing it. That's the only way
(55:32):
you can make sure it's the actual Jesse Kelly cheeseburger
and all bluster aside, I do make the greatest homemade
cheeseburger in the history of mankind. You try one, you'll
never make them any other way.
Speaker 6 (55:41):
Trust me on that.
Speaker 3 (55:42):
A great cheeseburger is unbeatable, undefeated. It really is pretty fabulous.
Speaker 7 (55:46):
Go check it out and check out the Jesse Kelly
Show syndicated six to nine eas from across the country,
and also the Jesse Kelly Podcast. And mister Kelly, please
tell your lovely wife and the boys have a great
holiday week end.
Speaker 1 (56:00):
And by the way, you're gonna be with us. But
you want to complain that I've got us all going
to Milwaukee. You've been upset that I managed to corral
everybody to Milwaukee.
Speaker 3 (56:08):
We're gonna all go to Red Lobster. That's a truth.
Speaker 1 (56:10):
We're all gonna You want to take a shot at
this week in Milwaukee that you're upset that I've managed
to corral everybody into No, I have no.
Speaker 13 (56:17):
Problem with the road trip. I would just like in
the future to be consulted before Clay Travis signs me
up for four or five days away from home in
a hotel. I'm not by my bed. I don't even
like Republicans. Why do I have to go to the
Republican convention? A bunch of useless unus out there selling
us out every single minute. Now I have to go
act like I like these people. Thanks a lot, Clay,
(56:38):
you know what, you're buying the dinners. Not that that
would be abnormal, but you're buying the dinners.
