Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome to today's edition of the Clay Travis and Buck
Sexton Show podcast.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
Welcome in Clay Travis Buck Sexton Show. Appreciate everybody hanging
out with us. I am in New Orleans getting ready
for the big super Bowl this weekend.
Speaker 1 (00:14):
Kind of a big game.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
Donald Trump going to become I was stunned by this,
and even a lot of people in sports don't believe
it's true, but it is. Donald Trump set to become Buck,
the very first sitting president of the United States to
ever attend a Super Bowl. Like I would if you
would come on and told me that stat last week,
(00:35):
I would have said, there's no way on Earth that's
possibly true.
Speaker 1 (00:39):
It is.
Speaker 2 (00:39):
There have been past presidents, there have been vice presidents,
there have been first ladies. There has never been a
sitting president of the United States at the Super Bowl.
Donald Trump, among many other things, really a monster sports fan,
and Buck, I think He's going to go to almost everything.
So a lot of fun down here in New Orleans.
We'll get into that, including a photo that has gone
(01:04):
viral the world over of legendary former New England Patriots
quarterback Bill Belichick age seventy two, and I believe it
is his twenty five year old girlfriend and the dress
that she wore. That let's just say Lauren Sanchez got
some competition in several different several different fronts. So if
you haven't seen that picture, we'll have some fun with it.
(01:25):
But there's a lot of ridiculous stories I would say
that are out there right now. Buck Trump just announced,
and who's opposed to this, that paper straws are done,
that he is ending paper straws because they don't work.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
I mean, the guy is legitimate. I think I'm in love. Honestly,
I don't even know what to say at this point.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
I saw the message and Trump has basically just decided
that he's going to fix everything ridiculous that has existed
in the country for the last decade, whether it's our
policy in the Middle East or what kind of odds.
Speaker 1 (02:00):
We drink out of.
Speaker 2 (02:01):
So both both significant and in the grand scheme of things, insignificant.
Speaker 1 (02:05):
Has he done a single thing yet that you know
since he's taken office that you're like, why would he
do that? This is what's amazing to me, is that
for I think he's batting a thousand right now. I
think there's a thousand I mean, there's one hundred percent
chance he's batting a thousand. However you want to say
it everything that he's doing, I'm like, yeah, absolutely, do that.
Absolutely do that.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
I were If I were grading him, I would give
him like a ninety nine. The only thing I would
have changed is maybe don't go as hard on the
DEI at the announcement of the jet crash, and I
probably would say, uh, you know, the Gaza, the Gaza
cannon ball into the swimming pool. I still don't know
(02:47):
what exactly is going on there. Those are Gaza.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
I think the Gaza breaking the uh, the established paradigm
about what should happen with Gaza. We may look back
on and say was quite brave and even brilliant in time.
But I think that may well be true.
Speaker 2 (03:04):
But those the only two things I can point to,
and I'm trying to nitpick. It's like when you win
a game fifty two to three and you're the coach
and you have to go back over the film and
you're like, you know, on third and six, our tackle
could have done a better job here picking up. We
should have gotten that we only got four yards. There
was fourteen there to get. I mean this is the
kind of stuff that you're fortunate when you win and
(03:26):
you go back over the film and you've won by
forty plus points. I think what's amazing, Buck, is it
used to be that there was at least some opposition
to Trump, Buck that seemed founded in a form of
rationality from the Democrat Party, and or there were spokespersons
where I wouldn't agree with him, but I would at
(03:47):
least listen and I would say, Okay, I can see
he's like the Maxine Waters is screaming outside the Department
of Education. Chuck Schumer is dancing around with an avocado
in one hand and a beer in the other. We're
talking about not only Trump succeeding in the first three
weeks on a level that neither of us, I don't
think even and we were optimistic thought was possible, but
(04:08):
we're also seeing an implosion of every Trump critic. And
it actually leads Buck to this is what CNN is
talking about right now. I mean, I'm going to play
this and many of you out there are going to
say this can't possibly be a real.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
News segment, but it is. Oh, it is.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
They have decided that they are going to essentially focus
on the guys that Elon Musk is bringing in to
try to save billions of dollars in fraud payments. Like
this is their opposition now and they have gone in
and they're doing deep dive.
Speaker 1 (04:46):
We're gonna listen to cut four here, right, So cut
four Aaron Burnett CNN. They're going after the twenty somethings
working for Elon. Now, this is where the eye of
Souron has focused. Listen to what they're saying on CNN.
Speaker 3 (05:00):
Nineteen year old high school graduate who has used the
unfortunate nickname Big Balls online, so that would be one
way that we could refer to him. He is now
working at Musk's behest inside doge. This individual has founded
multiple companies, including one with another unfortunate name, Tesla dot SEXYLLC,
(05:20):
which he established in twenty twenty one. He would have
been around sixteen years old.
Speaker 4 (05:23):
So now you look at these young men who are
now in data and in the private information about maybe
hundreds of millions of American citizens as young as nineteen.
The Big Balls here, most of them are in their
early twenties.
Speaker 5 (05:34):
So there's an exception.
Speaker 4 (05:34):
I'm going to get to you in a minute I'm
curious though, Kara, how well does even Musk know these
young men?
Speaker 1 (05:39):
Do you think I have no idea. I'll be okay, Clay.
They are attacked like they don't even realize that what
we're all hearing is they're attacking big balls on CNN.
This is this guy's online name, and they don't even
understand that we're in this era where the low t
(06:01):
DNC and the sad Karens of the Democrat Party and
all the rest are are being told enough is enough.
Elon has brought in a team of computer whiz you know,
superminds essentially. I mean you see what they're not talking about.
The kid who who just deciphered the scroll using AI
(06:22):
like the first person in the world to do it.
If Elon has picked you to do this, you're impressive. Okay,
we all under you have like the c plus students
who run you know, homecoming committee whining about the quarterback
of the football team and the smartest kid in the class,
who are working together Trump and Elon to fix everything.
Speaker 2 (06:46):
This is also just an impossible conversation to have for
anyone who has a scintilla of understanding of online culture.
Video gameplay your kids and your grandkids. Your teenage boys
probably have ridiculous uh names call signs that they have
(07:07):
created for themselves in their online alter egos to make
people laugh when they see them.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
This is of course young like teenagers may or may
not play some I might play some call of duty.
I know, when the baby comes, I'm gonna have to
stop and I'm gonna be swaddling and staying up super
late and all that stuff. But I might play some
call of duty. The names that people have on on
whether it's FIFA soccer, call of duty, these games that
like the more sort of creative and and you know,
(07:33):
raunchy slash hilarious, the better. That's very standard in the
online online culture world. But even more than that, Clay,
we're seeing such a disparity. It's a little bit like
at some levels when you know, Trump and Vance we're
up against old man Biden and Kamala. You're seeing the
skill gap. You're seeing journals who are liars and who
(07:56):
have had their credibility destroyed attacking I mean, Elon Musk
is an entrepreneurial genius. If he is not an entrepreneurial genius,
who is in the modern world, Okay, and for these
journals who are lucky to be making, you know, half
a million bucks a year or something to read off
a prompter, to be attacking and at CNN. So I'm
(08:18):
going to make a lot more than that, which is insane.
It just shows you how disconnected from reality the Democrat
parties become clay. They've got Chuck Schumer and it was
I think it was like Maxine Watson's water. They got
a bunch of they got a bunch of Democrats getting together.
It looks like someone left the door open at the
old folks home that nobody's paying attention to. And they're
(08:41):
the ones opposing Doge.
Speaker 2 (08:43):
It is not only that the Democrats are wrong on policy.
I think I sent this tweet. They've also become huge
dorks and losers. And if you're watching this and you're
a teenager or you're a young person and you're watching
Chuck Schumer talking about the super Bowl with an avocado
in one hand and a corona in the other, nobody
(09:06):
is like, you know what, I want to be on
that guy's team.
Speaker 1 (09:09):
You know, what we're seeing is also a disassembling of
the apparatus. You know, we talk a lot about the
apparatus here in the show, which is just everything the
left has infiltrated, controls, leverages, uses, and what you see
with a lot of this federal government auditing, which is
really what's going on here, whether it's FBI agents assigned
(09:33):
in obscene numbers to January six cases and the FBI
as being five thousand of them for overwhelmingly non violent
crimes with no destruction and no actual victim other than
sad faces on MSNBC. It's an absolute outrage that has. Honestly,
the FBI I thought was bad, It's far worse than
(09:55):
even I anticipated. I've been focused more on how the
CIA needs to be reformed Elon Trump. The whole system
has come in now, this whole new government has come
in and looking at it and saying we can't have
the forever government of the left anymore. You don't get
to win even when you lose. You don't get to
govern even when the elections show the people want something else.
(10:17):
And that is where the panic is coming in. This
is bigger to the Democrats than one election. This is
the next fifty years that they see slipping away from them.
Speaker 2 (10:28):
And this is I think what you just said is
so important. Four years can't change everything, but if we
through Elon, can remake what baseline expenditures are appropriate and allowed.
Democrats were super strategic with COVID. They knew they could
expand the size of the federal government by a massive amount.
(10:52):
They were able to do it, and they gambled that
they would be able to embed the cost of government
whatever COVID was into future budgets, and to a large extent,
they've been correct, which is why I think it's so
important for everybody to remember and understand. If you go
back to twenty nineteen's budget, it's balanced right now. The
(11:12):
insane growth that we've seen of federal government expenditures over
the last roughly five years, much of it dovetailing with
COVID at the end of Trump and then the early
years of Biden. They were able to establish a new normal,
and if we don't counter their establishment of new normal,
all we're trying to do buck is slow the rate
of now inflated growth that we never can address. When's
(11:36):
the last time we went back in government expenditures. It's
been a quarter century, probably No.
Speaker 1 (11:41):
The truth is we've been having knockdown, drag out fights
about whether we could negotiate a slight decrease in the
expected and planned increase in government spending, which is completely insane.
I also think Clay that this is tying in to COVID,
believe it or not, in a lot of ways that
(12:03):
people didn't anticipate because what we saw, because remember Trump
was in office when COVID first hit, was the apparatus
completely unleashed when it had the opportunity. I mean, you
turn around, what area of government would you assume just
assume you don't know anything about how they actually you know,
assume you didn't know what Fauci did about HIV and
(12:23):
all the things that he did that were horrific on
public health policy before. But I think people will turn
around and say, you know who we can trust Clay,
maybe even more than anybody else, you know, because the
military industrial complex and all the contractors and the money
in the wars, So maybe even more than the Defense Department.
To be truly bipartisan, you might say the health authorities.
(12:44):
And what we found out during COVID because of Fauci
was that nationally and in a lot of states, the
health authorities were some of the most virulent left wing
partisans imaginable, and they were able to subvert the Trump
administration and the Constitution because they had burrowed so deeply
(13:04):
into these mechanisms of the forever government. The forever government
is being uprooted now and it is a beautiful thing.
And you know how we both know it's a beautiful thing.
The Democrats are in a panic, you can see it.
They are in an a Why do they care so much?
Why does USAID matter so much to them? We're seeing why.
Speaker 2 (13:27):
Look, I'm down here in New Orleans this week, and
Chalk would clean up big Buck because there are a
lot of people every morning, if you've been in New Orleans,
that do not look like they have a lot of
energy left when those alarms go off, when they come outside,
when they get down to the hotel lobbies, when you're
walking out around the streets. And they'd be really popular
because Chalk's products are all about energy, and in this town,
(13:49):
you need energy. Twenty four to seven. Chalk's Vitality Stack
is a set of supplements for guys. It's all natural.
It can inccrease your testosterone level by up to twenty

little bit of food and drink excess? You will if
you have Chalk choq dot com. That's choq dot com,
my name Clay.
Speaker 1 (14:57):
What is the greatest show in a Erica? The greatest
show on Earth? I think the Trump Show and it
is continuing right now in the Oval Office. We've been
talking a lot this week. Glen and I have been
breaking down for you as much of what Elon is
doing as possible with Doge. And it's not just Elon.
He's got these twenty somethings. Some of them are even
(15:20):
younger than that. The media has decided that instead of
celebrating these clearly very gifted young people, they're going to
attack them. They're too young for this. Well, I don't
think we're going to take age criticism from the people
that pretended Joe Biden didn't have sinility, dementia and clear
(15:41):
cognitive decline. I don't think we have to listen to them.
I think they can all be quiet and go in
the corner before Uncle Elon gets annoyed at them. So
with that in mind, Trump speaking about what Elon is
doing here. This was just a few moments ago in
the Oval Office. This is twenty three. Hit it, mister President.
Speaker 4 (16:01):
Do you have a reaction to the new Time magazine
cover that has Elon Musk sitting behind your resolute desk?
Speaker 6 (16:08):
Is Time Magazine still in business?
Speaker 1 (16:10):
I didn't even know that.
Speaker 6 (16:14):
Elon is doing with great job. He's finding tremendous fraud
and corruption and waste. You see it with the us
ai D, but you're going to see it even more
so with other agencies and other parts of government.
Speaker 1 (16:28):
He's got his staff.
Speaker 6 (16:29):
That's fantastic. He's wanted to be able to do this
for a long time, and if everybody else knew it
was existent. But I think never so much.
Speaker 1 (16:38):
When you look at us AID play Just wait until
they really dig into Center for Medicaid and Medicare they
get into cms HSS HHS. Rather, there's going to be
mind blowing in terms of the number and also I
think the scale of the fraud. But you can also
(16:59):
tell here right away the journals they're running, they keep
running this playbook. They really want to try to turn
Trump on Elon and get the egos to clash. I
don't think they understand Elon's having a great time and
he just wants to help, and Trump realizes like his
guy is doing. It's like his guy in the back
room doing all the accounting for him and getting great results,
(17:22):
like he loves it.
Speaker 2 (17:24):
Also, I think they're looking for conflict and they can't
really find conflict in the Trump administration.
Speaker 1 (17:32):
You remember in the early days, Buck, there.
Speaker 2 (17:34):
Was always very easily Yeah, there was always a New
York Times story about this advisor fighting with that advisor
and who was going to be able to win the
Trump's ear and who was up and who was down.
Speaker 1 (17:47):
None of those stories.
Speaker 2 (17:48):
I haven't seen a single story like that in the
first month of the Trump administration so far. And this
also ties in with what we've been talking about a
great deal, Buck, which is, there is no antagonist to
Trump that is anywhere near the same stature as him
on the national stage. There is no Democrat that they
(18:08):
can say, well, did you see Chuck Schumer said, or
you know, even back in the day, they used to
say Nancy Pelosi said, or there was some sort of
titan on the Democrat side that would push back against Trump.
Now they're trying to find the titan inside of Trump's
own administration and create this conflict between Trump and Elon
(18:29):
over who's the real president. Think about how first of all,
how desperate that is, because they're simultaneously arguing two things, Buck,
that Trump is an authoritarian dictator the likes of which
the country has never seen, that we have to be
protected from. And they're also simultaneously arguing that Trump is
not even actually the president.
Speaker 1 (18:50):
So which one is it?
Speaker 2 (18:52):
Is Trump like this danger dictator who could take over
the country, or is he just a total empty suit
and he Musk is actually the president. They're actually narratives
are colliding head on.
Speaker 1 (19:04):
Well, and this is how you know that they the
Democrats are scrambling. There's not even a there's not even
a talking point that they can all parrot because they're
being batted away so quickly. And I think you know
you you tweeted this out. I think this is very
app If you're gonna be a dictator, you don't make
government a lot smaller and you don't make it more transparent. Okay,
(19:24):
that's that's part one. That's the opposite of dictator. Yeah,
so credit credit to you on that. Totally true. And also,
if Trump is going to be a dictator, why would
he give somebody who is uncontrollable essentially in terms of
you can't and I mean that in a good way.
You know, remember what he said when they tried to
and they did try to bring him to heal with
(19:47):
X and he said, you're gonna try to bribe me
with money? And then he looked at like the heads
of Disney and everywhere, and he said, go something. Yes,
you know, we all remember Elon's the richest man in
the world. You're not gonna You're not gonna be able
to twist this guy's arm and make him violate his
principles and make him a stooge. No dictator would do that.
Trump has got an all star team, and he's letting
(20:07):
the all stars play their positions with that in mind.
What is the end goal of this? He just said this.
This is twenty four Clay. He's talking about getting us
close to a balanced budget. Play that one fraud. The
whole thing is a fraud.
Speaker 6 (20:19):
Very little, very little being put.
Speaker 1 (20:22):
To good use.
Speaker 6 (20:23):
Every single line that I look at in terms of
events and transactions is either corrupt or ridiculous.
Speaker 1 (20:33):
And we're going to be doing that throughout government.
Speaker 6 (20:35):
And I think we're going to be very close to
balancing budgets for the first time in many years. I
think we're going to be very close to in addition
to money's coming in from terroriffs, et cetera, et cetera.
But now he's doing a very good job. I'm very
happy with him.
Speaker 2 (20:49):
Will you put Elon Musk up on the podium for
us to ask him some questions.
Speaker 1 (20:53):
Or he'll be he is he's not you. I he
lunch not you. That, by the way, will be I mean,
Trump press conferences are great. Elon press conference is also
going to be great.
Speaker 2 (21:03):
I just want to remind people how much things have changed.
Elon voted for Biden. I know that it can be
headspinning to think where we are. They are trying to
argue to you that Trump and Elon are a unique,
unprecedented threat to American life. And four years ago Elon
(21:25):
voted for Joe Biden against Donald Trump. Until this year,
Elon had never voted for Trump. Now this is funny,
Elon tweeted, I'm pulling this up, Buck, because I saw it.
Speaker 1 (21:38):
Circulating a little bit earlier. Here.
Speaker 2 (21:40):
Elon tweeted out, I love Donald Trump as much as
a straight man can love another man, which is a
very which is a very funny. And he's got a
picture of like one of those jumbo size if you
guys haven't seen it yet, make America great again, hats.
But I don't believe that most people are aware of
how truly radical and transformative Trump two point zero is
(22:04):
compared to Trump one point oh, not only based on
what I think is the best version of Trump, but
his allies, Buck RFK Junior, the most prominent Kennedy sky
On on the on in America. You've got Tulca Gabbard,
You've got Elon Musk. I mean, these are people who
were steadfast anti Trump people in sixteen and twenty that
(22:27):
now have come aboard the Trump train. And to his credit,
Trump may have the lowest grudge ratio of any American
politician of all time. You can have said the worst
things about Trump, and he will forgive and forget if
he believes you're gonna get on the Trump train and
help to advocate for his policies.
Speaker 1 (22:48):
He called him hitler just eight years ago, and now
he's a heartbeat away from the presidency.
Speaker 2 (22:54):
I just I don't know that we've ever Usually, you
know this, politicians marinate and grudges. They are perpetually offended
by what people said or didn't say. Their staffers are
constantly obsessed with what articles are written and what the
headlines are and all these things. And meanwhile you've got
Trump who just swears it all off.
Speaker 1 (23:15):
And he's got Elon, who voted for Biden four years ago, now.
Speaker 2 (23:21):
Working as hard as anyone can work to try to
balance the federal budget.
Speaker 1 (23:25):
And you look at on the Republican side, who are
the prominent Republicans that have gone full Democrat. I'm not
saying there aren't any, and there's certainly some in the media,
and that's happened. And you know, Liz Cheney, though, would
say that she's not a Democrat, she's just trying to
save the country from Donald Trump. There has not been
(23:46):
a There have not been high level respected members of
the Republican Party, Okay, I can put it that way
who have switched over. So who's making converts I think
is a really interesting part of this. I think it's
huge who is converted people to their side because I
think that tells you a lot about who are the
radicals and who are the reasonables in all of this.
(24:07):
And there is nobody that we have lost to the
Democrats that I'm like, oh my gosh, that guy or
that gal. I can't believe it. But Silicon Valley former
presidential candidates, you know, in the case of Tulsa Gabbard
for the Democrats, a Kennedy. I mean, these are on
(24:28):
the on the Democrat chess board. These are some serious pieces.
Speaker 2 (24:32):
And by the way, Elon Musk, if Joe Biden had
any decent leadership, Elon Musk, if he had come in
with Joe Biden. Pretend that Elon had decided to get
super involved in politics four years earlier. Would Republicans have
been furious if Elon had started going through the federal budget,
even if you were doing it on behalf of a
(24:53):
Democrat and you can argue it never happened. But just
follow through and suddenly he's finding hundreds of billions of
dollars in savings. It's why I think it's so important
to realize what is being done is not particularly partisan.
Up until a few years ago, the idea that the
federal government was ripe with fraud and abuse and that
(25:14):
there was lots of misspent money would have been a
pretty bipartisan perspective to adopt.
Speaker 1 (25:20):
Securing the border and deporting illegals. Yes, was, at least
officially speaking, the bipartisan goal of the United States Congress
and of both political parties until about, you know, the
Obama administration. It started to change. Really Obama Term two
(25:41):
that I know there are a lot of deportations in
Term one. A lot of those are people turned away
at the border. We could get into these numbers another time,
but it was when they it was a lot of
these NGOs that are getting government funding. I might add
it was when they realized they could just scan the
asylum system and kick everything wide open, and then did
that for four years of Biden that things went completely
out of control. I've mentioned this before. It's amazing. You
(26:03):
go back New York Times editorial page, not an editorial columnist.
The page back in two thousand would write articles about
how illegals were suppressing the wages of particularly black and
Latino Americans in this country. That was the New York
Times in the year two thousand and now it's oh
my gosh. You know, we're a nation of immigrants, and
the more illegals the better, and we need to keep
(26:25):
all the MS thirteen gangsters here too. Everyone they have
lost their minds and this is why they cannot get
their bearings because you know they they went nutso and
you're seeing it, I mean the fact that Clay they're trying.
So they're defending the you know, the trans puppet shows
in Mongolia, and also they're defending you know, the the transathlete,
(26:49):
you know, the trans athlete. Yeah yeah, and now they're
going to be saying what that we should be paying
hundreds of billions of dollars to people through medicare that
don't deserve to get any because they're not doing the procedures.
And these are fake clinics that are just you know,
people are scamming the system and no one gets caught.
The FBI was too busy, by the way, going after
jan six people apparently to shut this down. FBI is man,
(27:12):
I cannot wait until cash gets in there. Cash, It's
gonna be money. Yeah, it's true. No, No, I mean,
I think.
Speaker 2 (27:25):
Again, We've never seen anything like the speed at which
the government is moving right now. And I do believe
that Trump has broken the opposition. We've got some more
audio we can play for you, because they don't have
the ability, you know, they do a good job buck
of all reiterating whatever talking points they're sent, whatever comes in,
(27:48):
they go out, and they go on CNN and they
go on MSNBC, and they just regurgitate it publicly. Trump
is moving so fast that the talking points can't keep
up with him. And the fact that there hasn't been
a Democrat eyes up who's capable of actually speaking at
Trump's speed and reacting at Trump speed, is a sign
of how incredibly broken the Democrat party is. But if
(28:11):
this keeps up, and again we have said this pace is.
You know, you're hitting twenty home runs out of the
gate in April. You are birdying the first three holes
and standing over an eagle putt on the fourth hole,
something I've never experienced, there never will experience. But maybe
some of you out there have had that fast of
a start in your golf game. If he keeps this
(28:32):
up the way the Democrats are behaving, Buck, they are
imploding on a level that I don't remember any party
ever employed.
Speaker 1 (28:42):
I've never seen this before, never seen this before ever.
I mean people maybe say two thousand and eight with
the financial collapse, but that was pretty short lived because
Obama came in with some pretty radical ideas. And remember
the Tea Party formed in twenty ten and.
Speaker 2 (28:58):
A while that was making majority in two thousand was
an eight to two right and much of much of
his government.
Speaker 1 (29:03):
I'm saying that the snapback was was pretty quick. Actually
after that, it did not take long before Republicans found
their footing and were, uh, you know, we're you know,
it did very well in that mid term election. I mean,
I know it's very early. I know it's the first
month and I've been saying all along Democrats are going
to uh, They're going to recover at some point, but
(29:23):
it may take a while. You know, this is I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (29:27):
I think that I think they're going to have to
blow up the existing framework of the party. And this
is why I think a total outsider may end up
being their nominee in twenty twenty eight, because I don't
think identity politics, which is the foundational value of the
Democrat Party right now, I don't think it can work
in the years ahead. I think they have I also
(29:49):
think played without total without total online information dominance, there
they can't win these arguments. I think that's a huge party,
which is why I thought the purchase of X was
so essential, really kind of breaking the stranglehold that they have.

joined here shortly by the Governor of Louisiana, Jeff Landry.
Talked to him about everything going on in his state,
(31:14):
including a little football game that is occurring in New
Orleans on this Sunday. Which are you prepared for your
big pick next hour? To let everybody know what they
should be aware of. Maybe your voice Sequan is going
to be the pick, Like have you decided have you done.
Speaker 1 (31:32):
Your resear Likely, it's very likely as because at this point,
let's be honest, I'm one hundred percent for my picks.
I'm one for one, so it's you know, it's probably
a good idea to listen to the pick that I have.
Clay's going to do the other four or whatever. So
we'll see how that goes. But I got one in mind,
and we will. We'll give you those picks and I
will be watching the Super Bowl on Sunday. We're going
(31:55):
to do the traditional with the wings and some of
that stuff. So excited, and I'm gonna have to look,
where was that article that somebody put out about how
to sound like you?
Speaker 2 (32:04):
One of our guys, one of our guys Bobby Barak,
who does good work for us at out Kick, wrote
an article for everybody out there who may be going
to Super Bowl parties but is not particularly plugged in
with what is going to be going on a few
different sentences that you can just kind of throw into
the conversation and everybody will be like, oh, yeah, this
(32:25):
guy or this gal, they know what they're talking about.
Speaker 1 (32:27):
I mean, clearly, the Eagles are underdogs. I know this
just because I do know who's won the Super Bowl
in recent years. So how many points are they underdogs
play at this point? Recently? One and a half I'll
pull up the exit very close.
Speaker 2 (32:40):
Oh yeah, it's close to it's close to a fifty
to fifty style game. The Chiefs were around a one
and a half point. Let's see, the line has not
moved very much. Chiefs are still a one and a
half point favorite.
Speaker 1 (32:49):
I just I mean, if it's a one and a
half point, if it's one and a half point spread,
you just got to think that the one only Sakwan
is going to come through based on it from his career.
But you're his biggest fan on the play, you ear whatever. Yeah,
but he's fantastic, That's what I'm telling It's gonna be amazing.
He's gonna run that football and score many of the points.
(33:11):
And I'm excited. I'm excited for that. What do you are? You?
You you don't really do like I'm having a bunch
of friends over, you know, Carrie and I because we figure,
you know, before the baby comes, you might as well
have sort of adult you know, yes, you know, adult
time with everybody. Uh and also if anyone has a
really good you're a dad. You're gonna have your first
baby book recommendation. Send that into the show where you
(33:33):
can send us in a VIP.
Speaker 2 (33:34):
I do a book for you to read to get
ready for how to be a dad.
Speaker 1 (33:38):
Well, yeah, I think I'm good on the like once
the kid can talk and you know that dad part
I'm very confident in. But the like I don't know
how to swaddle, you know, I don't know how to
how to make the milk the right temp or you
know the you know what I mean, like not that
I make the milk, You know what I mean? Like
I don't know how to do you you for logistics.
Speaker 2 (33:57):
You probably are never going to be able to do
things like swap to your wife's specifications. I think that
it's likely that she's going to be that she's going
to be finding much of you.
Speaker 1 (34:08):
You should see what happens when I try to load
the dishwasher. Yeah, of course, I thought I was fine
at loading the dishwasher all these years. Apparently not. Apparently not.
And I never know. Is it worse to try to
load the dishwasher improperly or to just be like, fine,
I'm not going to You're you're in a tough spots
as husband. I will tell you this.
Speaker 2 (34:29):
I will just I'm gonna probably get myself in trouble here.
I've been married twenty as going on twenty one years now.
I don't ever think our house has actually been messy.
And my wife is gonna say that's because she does
an incredible job of cleaning. But I think that male
female standards for filth and garbage and like to your point,
(34:52):
like how to load dishwashers.
Speaker 1 (34:54):
It's just two different universes.
Speaker 2 (34:58):
So I like a lot one of the things that
are considered to be a mess in I don't think
it's just me. I think that most men listening to
me right now do not see messes in the same
way that women see messes. And I don't know, like
I've even thought about this on like a larger biological scale.
Why there has to be a massive benefit honestly for
(35:21):
human survival to women in general being much more focused
on cleanliness than men are. Right like that we benefit
as men and live longer than we otherwise would if
basically the wallowing in the filth that we would create otherwise.
But I think a huge part of it is like
the frat guys living in the frat house. Don't think
(35:42):
that the frat house is anywhere near as disgusting as
the girls living in the sorority houses who walk in
and frankly, I just think it's totally biological.
Speaker 1 (35:53):
Well, I also think that there is and maybe this,
you know, I don't know if this is going to
sound sexist or anything.
Speaker 2 (36:00):
I don't really probably is, if your prelude is, I
don't know if this is going to sound When have
you ever heard somebody say I don't know this is
going to sound sexist and then it's totally not sexist
at all, Probably almost never. So I'm just saying this
is probably going to be sexist.
Speaker 1 (36:13):
I just think that for the guys out there, we
tend to prioritize efficiency, and the ladies tend to focus
more on esthetic, Like I want things to be easy
around the house and accessible and and you know, not
to spend time, and you know, the lady of the
(36:34):
house wants things to look and smell a certain way.
It's just like it's a little different, and this is
where we get to all. So I find that separating
laundry is a waste of time. I just I do
my own laundry, by the way, and I just throw
my laundry in there, and she says, well, your your
colors are not as colorful as they should be, and
you're like, your white look like they're blue. And to this,
(36:57):
I just say, but think of how much time I
say in my life not separating out my laundry. I
don't have many white I don't have any like white
sweaters or white T shirts. Really, I've got maybe one
or two. So I go for efficiency. But then when
we walk around, she's like, that's a nice off white
slash blue slash gray T shirt. You're wearing it. You're
(37:19):
just bring in as many colors as you can the rainbow.
I will.
Speaker 2 (37:23):
We're going to be joined, by the way, when we
come back. Governor of Louisiana has pushed us back to
this next segment, so he will be with us when
we come back. In the meantime, Buck is going to
be attacked dragged out for his incredibly sexist commentary. I
can't believe it. I think I got an email complaining
about something you said the other day. By the way,
I have no idea what it was.
Speaker 1 (37:40):
Really Usually, I'm supposed to be the school marm for you.
So this is funny. Apparently you're supposed to be the
school marm for me now I know. And man, there's
no telling how much delus we're going to get from this.
We'll come back here in a minute, but I want
to tell you, you know, if I saw down here
Wednesday night, guys who run rapid radios, they're down here
helping to advertise their product to awesome guys from Michigan.
(38:01):
They were really hoping the Lions were going to be
in the Super Bowl, like my wife is, who is
also from Michigan. Long suffering Lions fans. But man, they
have built an incredible business. And basically what they've done
is they have allowed a nationwide network of walkie talkies
to exist that you can be able to rely on
no matter where you are in the country, and in
(38:22):
times of catastrophe, calamity, things that are going awry, you
can be able to connect with your family all over
the country. My wife has got these plugged in in
our house right by the front door, and you walk in.
Speaker 2 (38:36):
They have a five hour load. That is, you don't
have to charge them for sorry, five day. They can
maintain a charge for five days. So if power goes out,
or you lose the ability to communicate on your cell
phone network.
Speaker 1 (38:51):
I'll tell you this.
Speaker 2 (38:52):
Do you guys remember on Second Avenue, Nashville, Christmas twenty twenty,
guy blew himself up and blew up the cell phone network.
Speaker 1 (39:00):
Can't use cell phones in Nashville for days.
Speaker 2 (39:04):
How about when you have young kids, maybe you don't
want them to have access to a full cell phone.
Maybe you got parents who don't necessarily use cell phones
that well as they get older, but you want to
be able to be in touch with them, be able
to communicate nationwide. Get hooked up right now with rapid

Democrat presidential candidate Kamala Harris, who every single day I
(39:48):
am thankful is not the President of the United States,
as virtually every single one of you listening as well,
has that same feeling. She has begun to re emerge
on the national stage. And I saw last night buck
she went to a Lakers game with her beloved husband,
Doug ima Hooff. No one seemed to care about them
(40:11):
being there at all. And if you compare it, I
was with Trump. I did an interview of him at
the Alabama Georgia game Georgia was hosting. Alabama was hosting
Georgia back in September. Everywhere Trump went it was like
Elvis was walking through the building. Based on everything I've
(40:31):
ever read, I mean, it was pure bedlam, pure chaos
everywhere in the vicinity of Trump. Kamala walked in and
walked to her seat with Doug Imhoff and virtually no
one in the entire arena in Los Angeles cared at all.
I think it's emblematic that there was never really a
Kamala or Biden fan base. And finally, when we got
(40:56):
a little bit of a taste of what Joe Biden
and Kamala here would be capable of, the anti Trump
element of their success has faded, and Kamala just kind
of seems like she's fading into obsolescence. In many ways,
she doesn't have a political office to hold. She doesn't
have a job. It's I don't even know what she's
(41:16):
gonna do at this point.
Speaker 1 (41:18):
You know, I've been saying the whole time if she lost,
she's going to end up the provost or chancellor of
some UC school. I still think that's probably going to happen,
because she has you know, residents and name recognition in California.
So she'll get a job that pays her, you know,
a million and a half dollars a year to live
in a mansion that somebody else pays for and you know,
(41:39):
just has to like exist and show up to cocktail parties.
Her husband has gotten a big law firm job that
is a bicoastal law firm job. They'll pay him several
million dollars a year basically to glad hand and not
really work very hard. But I think you're right.
Speaker 2 (41:57):
If she is going to try, she'll either stay out
of a job buck and decide to run for governor,
or she'll take a job like you're talking about, make
several million dollars. I don't think Kamala Harris really well
she wants to be the governor of California, that she
wants to be important and famous, and have power. But
I don't think she actually wants to do that job.
And for somebody who's already been the Senator from California,
(42:20):
I think that there's a lot of headache to being
the governor unless you think you're going to use that
to run for president.
Speaker 1 (42:26):
Right. So to me, if the governorship at California for
her is not a stepping stone, why is she going
to put herself through that? Because she doesn't really want
to fix California because she can't. I mean, this is
the other thing. She is just not very capable. I
you know, she's We try to be very honest here
about the deficiencies but also the skills of various Democrats.
(42:48):
You know, some Democrats are devious but smart. Some Democrats
are just really dumb. And so we tell you the
truth about this because it's important to be able to
say this stuff out loud. With that in mind, we
have Kamala Harrison. This was when she showed up to
talk about the wildfires. Right, She toured the wildfires. This
is part of Kamala emerging back onto the national scene.
(43:09):
And I believe she was asked about what her future
plans are. We have this I believe Cut twenty two.
Speaker 7 (43:15):
As we think about the future, we must as a society,
as a country, invest in adaptation and resilience, and we
have to understand these extreme weather occurrences are extreme, but
they are increasingly less rare.
Speaker 1 (43:35):
She knows nothing, She really knows nothing. She is an
absolute ignoramus. And Democrats try so they made a dementia
patient president and they tried to make somebody who knows
nothing president. That is her talking about the wildfires. We
also have cut nineteen where she talks buck about what
her future plans are also not particularly well said. But listen,
(43:58):
I have been home for two weeks. In three days.
Speaker 5 (44:02):
My plans are to be in touch with my community,
to be in touch with the leaders and figure out
what I can do to support them, and most importantly,
to lift up the folks who are surviving this extraordinary
crisis and do what I can do to offer any assistance,
even if it is a kind word along the way.
Speaker 1 (44:22):
So there is Kamala.
Speaker 2 (44:23):
What do you think? So do you think she's done?
Like if we were let's flag this. It's February seventh,
twenty twenty four, and let me just put this out
there because I do think it's significant. February seventh, of
roughly twenty twenty one, would have been about a month
after January sixth. I think if you or I had
been on the air on that day and we had said, hey,
(44:45):
Trump is going to win the popular vote in twenty
twenty four.
Speaker 1 (44:49):
He's going to.
Speaker 2 (44:50):
Win all seven of the so called battleground states. He's
going to get over three hundred electoral votes, over seventy
five million votes cast, I think a lot of people
would have said, you're crazy, right, because Trump was at
his absolute lowest point, probably around this time four years ago.
Having said that, do you think that Kamala will run
(45:10):
buck in twenty twenty eight or do you think she's
basically done with the political universe at this point in time.
Speaker 1 (45:18):
I think she's done because think about how Hillary Clinton
made it a lot closer than Kamala did. Right, Kamala
is the worst performing Democrat to run as their candidate.
I mean, obviously Obama won twice, Biden won once Biden
goes out one for one sort of, she is the
(45:39):
worst performing Democrat since John Kerry in two thousand and four.
I think it has even make it worse democrats candidation
that I think you could make an argument it's worse
since Ducaucus. I was gonna say, you probably could stretch
it even more so. But at least in the twenty
first century, she's the worst performing Democrat candidate for the
presidency that you've seen, So to me, of course it
(46:02):
can't be her. Again, the only reason why I wouldn't
bet the farm, so to speak, on that is their
benches absolutely so weak, and it's their own it's their
own doing because they had people who their understanding of
the system and their longevity in the system, their longevity
in the apparatus was really their currency. People like Chuck Schumer,
(46:25):
Nancy Pelosi, Joe Biden. These people have been around this
game forever. Their donor lists are enormous, the political favors
they can call upon, and the way that they understand
how to wield power is But Clay, they did not
build up another generation Pete Buddha Judge isn't going to
(46:46):
get it done for them. I mean, you look at
who else they've and we could talk about that another time,
but you know, there's no way that they can look
at who they have on the bench. I mean, keep
in mind all of the people that you would really
have a conversation Wes Moore, Maryland. I think they're going
to really make up a big push to build up
Wes Moore, and you know, he actually does have things
(47:06):
going for him, a bunch of things that I think
would be appealing. But they swatted down all of the
next generation to make Biden the nominee in twenty twenty
and that was the time they had to be real.
But they couldn't admit how left wing the party was,
so they went with Biden because that made it seem
like they weren't as insane as they are.
Speaker 2 (47:26):
I think Democrats are going to find a version of
Trump as their nominee in twenty twenty eight. I don't
mean someone of similar political skills necessarily or political opinions
as Trump.
Speaker 1 (47:39):
A global celebrity, like a global brand.
Speaker 2 (47:42):
Yes, I think they will go and they will find
somebody who is not a traditional politician. I think there'll
be two or three of those people potentially who run.
Because of what you're just laying out, there is no
sort of pre eminent favorite who's out there soaking up
so much of the dollar and the attention to make
it difficult for someone to think they could have a
(48:03):
run there. I think they're going to have a situation
where they are desperate and they're trying to find somebody
who is not particularly political because the overall Democrat brand
is in the tank to such an extent that it's
going to be hard I think for somebody to get
elevated in a way that gives themselves a lot of opportunity.
(48:23):
So I think they will have a Trumpian like candidate.
Who that is, I don't know. By the way, Trump
right now live in the Oval Office. We are going
to monitor that he's with Japan's Prime minister taking questions.
As we have got to learn with it was very
rare back in the day for the last four years
buck that we were like, oh, Biden suddenly live taking questions,
(48:44):
Like let's see what he does. It just didn't happen
very often. Happens all the time now with Trump.
Speaker 1 (48:48):
I bet Trump doesn't eat Bet Trump doesn't sushi at all,
you know how. I know that he orders his red
meat well done, and I just feel like, if you're
a red meat well done guy, you don't need sushi.
That's my guess. He's a drum.
Speaker 2 (49:00):
Trump's worst flaw from a food perspective, because a lot
of people come after him for the fast food. You guys,
most of you out there like fast food. Getting a
great steak well done is just absolutely indefensible.
Speaker 1 (49:15):
Hold I would hold back tears at home if I
was taking out one of my dry age steaks from
perhaps good Ranchers, and and then I was to say
someone was to tell me cook it well done. It's like,
why don't Why don't I just take one of those
hockey puck burgers they used to give you in summer
camp that had like the little craters on them. Do
you remember those that came frozen. Just throw one of
(49:35):
those on your plate. Taste just the same.
Speaker 2 (49:37):
It's his worst flaw, and maybe his worst flaw overall
is the well done steak and ketchup? Doesn't he eat ketchup?
Speaker 1 (49:43):
And I tell you, I've given his stance on straws.
I forgive him for the steak thing entirely. This is
a This is amazing. I wasn't expecting to wake up
on a Friday and have the most powerful person on
earth say the paper straw thing is stupid. I mean,
have you ever been I've actually experienced this in a
kind of casual but a bit business meeting setting when
you're you know, you're drinking a coffee or something and
(50:04):
and your straw just just sort of disintegrates in real time,
just falls apart. You look like some little kid. You've got, like,
you know, your lattee all over your hand now because
the straw was just disintegrating it. What is this? They
think this is saving the Amazon? When did libs become insane?
They really clay that Trump should do an executive order
that all communists have to listen to the Clay and
(50:25):
Buck show. We need to deprogram them. It would be
very helpful. My wife is texting me about the straw thing.
She says, our boys are going to be so excited
about this. They lose it when we get paper straws
and they have to they have to try to drink
out of the paper straws.
Speaker 5 (50:40):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (50:41):
Trump saved TikTok for my fourteen year old. Now he's
doing away with paper straws.
Speaker 1 (50:44):
He's the greatest human. You know, you're not in a
sane and free state in this country when they're when
they force you to drink out of paper straws. I mean,
California is obviously well.
Speaker 2 (50:54):
Well, especially when you're getting lectured by all the celebrities
flying around their private jets telling you that you need
to go drink a paper straw. We'll come back. We'll
take some of your calls. By the way, it's Friday
