Dems Cry Wolf
C&B break down the Texas redistricting showdown, a major political battle with national implications. Democrats are threatening to flee the state to block Republican-led redistricting efforts that could flip five congressional seats. Governor Greg Abbott responds forcefully, warning of felony charges and invoking extradition powers. The hosts dissect the legal and political ramifications, comparing Texas to heavily gerrymandered states like Illinois and New Mexico, where Democrats dominate despite near-even vote splits.
Texas Democrats Flee to Illinois
Gerrymandering and electoral strategy dominate the conversation, with Clay and Buck exposing how illegal immigration skews census data and congressional representation, benefiting Democrats by inflating district populations. They argue this practice unfairly shifts political power and discuss how Hispanic voters, especially in border regions, are increasingly supporting Republicans due to dissatisfaction with open-border policies.
Proud Republican, Sydney Sweeney
The hosts dive deep into the cultural and political firestorm surrounding actress Sydney Sweeney, whose recent American Eagle ad has sparked intense debate. The hour centers on Sweeney’s emergence as a conservative icon, highlighting her registered Republican status, Florida residency, and public enthusiasm for firearms, including footage of her at a tactical gun range. The hosts argue that her traditional beauty, hourglass figure, and blonde hair have made her a target of left-wing criticism, which they frame as part of a broader anti-beauty and anti-white agenda driven by woke ideology.
The conversation critiques the left’s attempt to redefine beauty standards, suggesting that men universally appreciate beauty across ethnicities and that biological attraction is rooted in evolutionary traits. They also explore the impact of influencers, social media pressure on young women, and the cultural shift among Gen Z Republicans, especially young men.
American Eagle Surges
Commentary on Bill Maher’s satirical take on the controversy, a discussion of Nazism analogies in modern discourse, and a critique of historical illiteracy in woke narratives. The hosts also touch on crime statistics, emphasizing the need for aggressive policing in minority communities to combat black-on-black violence, and they argue that defunding police has led to increased deaths in vulnerable neighborhoods.
President Donald Trump’s endorsement of Sweeney’s ad is highlighted as a pivotal moment, with the hosts noting a 24% spike in American Eagle’s stock following his support. They contrast this with the fallout from woke advertising campaigns by brands like Bud Light and Jaguar, framing Sweeney’s unapologetic stance as a cultural turning point.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Clay. Have you heard of the Rio Reset? Sounds like
a trendy new workout, Buck, it.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
Does, but it's actually a big summit going on in Brazil.
The formal name is BRICKS, which stands for Brazil, Russia, India,
China and South Africa. But they've just added five new members.
Speaker 3 (00:14):
Smart move to stick with Bricks. We know what happens
when acronyms don't end. They confuse everyone.
Speaker 1 (00:19):
Well, that's an understatement.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
Bricks is a group of emerging economies hoping to increase
their sway in the global financial order.
Speaker 3 (00:26):
Now that sounds like the plot line of a movie.
I'm listening.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
Philip Patrick is our Bruce Wayne. He's a precious metal
specialist and a spokesman for the Birch Gold Group. He's
on the ground in Rio getting the whole low down
on what's going on there.
Speaker 1 (00:40):
Can he give us some inside intel?
Speaker 2 (00:42):
Absolutely, he's been there since day one. In fact, a
major theme at the summit is how Bricks Nations aim
to reduce reliance on the US dollar in global trade.
Speaker 3 (00:51):
Yikes, that doesn't sound good. We got to get Philip
on the line.
Speaker 2 (00:54):
Stat already did and he left the Clay and Buck
audience this message.
Speaker 4 (00:58):
The world is moving on from the dollar quietly but steadily.
These nations are making real progress towards reshaping global trade,
and the US dollar is no longer the centerpiece. That
shift doesn't happen overnight, but make no mistake, it's already begun.
Speaker 2 (01:17):
Thank you, Philip. Protect the value of your savings account,
your four oh one k r ira, all of them,
by purchasing gold and placing it into those accounts and
reducing your exposure to a declining dollar value. Text my
name Buck to ninety eight ninety eight ninety eight you
get the free information you'll need to make the right decision.
You can rely on Birch Gold Group as I do
to give you the information you need to make an
(01:38):
informed decision. One more time, Text my name Buck to
ninety eight ninety eight ninety eight.
Speaker 3 (01:44):
Welcome in Monday edition Clay Travis buck Sexton's show. Appreciate
all of you hanging out with us. As we are
rolling into yet another week with lots of good news
pouring in. There now seems to be expectation that, guess what,
Trump was right, They are going to cut interest rates
(02:04):
in September. Stock market is soaring on those expectations today
moving back.
Speaker 1 (02:11):
Towards record high levels.
Speaker 3 (02:13):
So that is the big economic news as we move
closer and closer to a teriff resolution with many different
countries around the world. Also a bunch of other things
going on. We have got Texas redistricting turning into a
monster battle, which I am going to dive into here
(02:37):
with you guys.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
Shortly, machetes have been banned in.
Speaker 3 (02:40):
Australia, which is just a ridiculously funny story we'll have
some fun with. And President Trump has weighed in on
Sidney Sweeney and the impact of that ad continues to
echo as also for those of you out there that
get fired up about culture and don't.
Speaker 1 (03:01):
Care and you're like, Sidney Sweeney.
Speaker 3 (03:03):
Is registered as a Republican in Bucks state of Florida.
I challenge anybody out there Buck. We'll get into this
a little bit, but I can't think of anybody in
his or her twenties that is as famous in Hollywood
as Sidney Sweeney is that has ever been publicly identified
(03:25):
as a Republican. Now, there are lots of people, because
I spent a lot of time in la in which
you always hear in LA is if they never talk
about politics. They're a Republican. And there are lots of
those people out there, many of whom you would be
fans of if you enjoy going to movies, television shows,
streaming services, all those things. So there are lots of them,
(03:46):
they just don't speak out Sidney Sweeney being a registered
Republican in her twenties. Look, there are guys like Sylvester Stallone,
Arnold Schwarzenegger, Mel Gibson, a lot of the stars of
nineteen eighties film are Republican and are out there publicly,
but they're all in their seventies or older. To have
a twenty seven year old Hollywood starlet near the top
(04:08):
of her game being out and out Republican, I think
is significant culturally. We'll get into that. But in the meantime,
and this is actually very significant, I think, and we
talked about this a little bit last week. There is
a panic setting in inside of the Democrat Party over
the fact that Texas is potentially going to be redistricting
(04:32):
as part of its midterm sort of process. This is
normal in Texas because the legislature I believe, only comes
in like every other year. They do not have a
supremely active legislature, and so they're a little bit behind
on some of these things. And by the way, we'll
also update you on the latest. I know many of
(04:52):
you fired up about that attack in Cincinnati, which has
received a great deal of discussion at Peers guy and
a gal, both innocent of doing basically anything wrong, getting
beaten up in Cincinnati, and the reaction to it. We
talked about that with Bernie Marino last week. But I
want to start with this. Democrats buck are saying that
(05:14):
they are going to flee the state to stop this
redistricting from taking place. This is something that I think
they have done before and it's turned into a controversy
and Greg Abbott, governor of Texas, is having none of it.
He says they will face felony charges if they refuse
to return to the capitol. Here's cut ten.
Speaker 5 (05:34):
So very simply, it would be bribery if any lawmaker
took money to perform or to refuse to perform and
act in the legislature. And the reports are these legislators
have been both. They sought money and they offered money
to skip the vote to leave the legislature to take
(05:56):
a legislative act that would be bribery, and so the
facts will have to come out. But I think based
upon comments made by ledstters themselves, they face a possibility
facing bribery charges, which is a second degree felony in
the state of Texas.
Speaker 3 (06:12):
Okay, I believe the reports are buck that they are
fleeing to Illinois. This is turned into a big deal
not only in Texas, but other states now saying well,
maybe we'll have to readistrict your.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
Thoughts Illinois also known as Midwest California.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
Yeah, I think.
Speaker 3 (06:30):
And by the way, to Illinois, one of the most
of all jerry mandered states in the nation, to flee
to Illinois actually just points out that blue states do
this too.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
This is just childish whining from Democrats on this issue.
There's no argument to be made. It is actually not
possible to raise a good faith argument that Democrats don't
do exactly this, which is jerry mander to their political
liking in states where that is lawful and they have
can So let's not pretend like this is all of us.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
It would be like saying, oh my gosh.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
Do you see all these all these people the president
is appointing who agree with the president on policy? Yeah,
that's the point. It's our turn now we're in charge
in Texas. Deal with it, Libs. But instead they try
to raise really alynskiite sabotage in the system that they
try to find ways to pretend like they're in the
(07:27):
bathroom the whole time, so they can't actually let the
business of the state House go forward, or in this case,
they're fleeing the state entirely. I'll also point this out
Clay Governor Abbitt when he says that people are accepting
money to do a thing in the legislature, that.
Speaker 1 (07:42):
Sounds like bribery.
Speaker 2 (07:43):
You know, this isn't This isn't like someone explaining a
complicated Rico case. And no, no, no. If someone's giving
you money and you're doing something or not doing something
in the legislature because of it, that is pretty much
textbook bribery. So if that is now he says, we
have to see and look at the facts. But I
don't think he would raise that unless there's some reason
(08:04):
to believe that this is what has been going on
with some Democrats in that state. I think that they
maybe have forgotten themselves and forgotten statutory definitions a bit here.
Speaker 1 (08:15):
But this is it's absurd.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
So they're going to try to prevent the business of
the state from occurring as representatives of the state by
just calling in sick to work. I mean, I think
imagine if the Republicans, when we had a minority in
the House of the Senate to this, we'd be told
that this is the end of the of the republic as.
Speaker 6 (08:32):
We know it.
Speaker 3 (08:33):
Yeah, and it's just frankly an embarrassment. And so again
I did a lot of deep dive on this because
I'm a little bit of a nerd when it comes
to districting, and effectively this question is just a function
of when you start it.
Speaker 1 (08:49):
And let me explain what I mean by that.
Speaker 3 (08:51):
Everybody does this to your point, and so acting like
what Texas is doing is somehow beyond the pale. What
has got Democrats nervous is, look, there's a three seat
majority right now in the House, and if five Republican
seats in theory were added in Texas, that takes it
to eight. It makes it harder for them to take
(09:11):
back the House, and they don't like Usually the redistrictings
happens at the you know, closer to twenty twenty, the
mid decade redistricting is somewhat rare, not necessarily for Texas here,
So there's actually a little bit of a slant towards
Democrats right now in the House because they did better
(09:32):
in the House than they should have based on how
the national popular vote went. Right in theory, if we
had completely without jerrymanagering a national popular vote and assigned
congressional seats based on that, then Republicans would have done
a better job in the House in twenty twenty four
than they did one a narrow majority of the Republicans
(09:55):
did by three. Because Democrats have successfully jerrymandered so many
different states and now they're fired up about Texas. Let
me also point this out, almost no one.
Speaker 1 (10:06):
Talks about it.
Speaker 3 (10:08):
We screwed up as a country the census, and as
a result, the electoral votes are all screwed up in
favor of Democrats right now, and almost no one will
talk about it in twenty thirty when the new census
is done, and you also then are able to take
into account all of the relocations to red states, Democrats
(10:31):
are in a tremendous amount of trouble in the electoral
college starting in twenty thirty two, because, for instance, Kamala's path,
she would have won the election two seventy to two
sixty eight. If she had won Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin,
that would have narrowly gotten her to the two seventy
majority that she needed to get to. That pathway is
(10:54):
not going to exist because red states are going to
be picking up a lot of additional electors oral votes,
and so you can't win the presidency really without being
able to win some of the South. And so we're
headed for No one is talking about it because it's
like nobody can look more than one year in the
future when it comes to politics. But I think part
(11:17):
of this is a little bit of a panic setting
in on the Democrat side that the population bases of
places like Tennessee, Texas, and Florida are skyrocketing, and they're
taking away the electoral votes of much of the Democrat base.
And so this is kind of an early preview of
a little bit of a panic that's setting in where
(11:39):
you're going to have more seats being reassigned to red
states and fewer in blue states. And again, the other
part of this that gets almost no attention is the
skewing for a legal immigration and that is a big
part of the taking people out of the country that
is hurting overall Democrats. So this I think is a
(12:01):
significant one, not only for what Texas does, but for
the mobilization that's going to be able to occur in
response to Texas. And that is why you are already
hearing people like Corey Booker and Kathy Hokel. Let's play
Kathy Hokel more on New Yorker saying, Hey, maybe we're
going to have to do this too, Cutchwell.
Speaker 7 (12:22):
But Texas and Republican states are doing it. The direction
of Donald Trump, I say, is nothing short of a
legal insurrection against our capital. Legal meaning they're using the
legal process, does not mean it's legal, and it must
be stuffed. The Republicans are willing to rewrite these rules
to give themselves an advantage, then they're leaving us no choice.
We must do the same. For the phrase you have
(12:44):
to fight fire with fire, that is a true statement
of how we're feeling right now. And as I've said,
another overused but applicable phrase, all's fair in love and war.
That's why I'm exploring with our leaders every option to
redraw our state congressional lines as soon as possible.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
What a more he is?
Speaker 2 (13:01):
Buck, Well, it's but it's a widespread thing among Democrats now, right,
She's not the only one, you know what, Clay, Let's
have some fun with this. Corey Booker another prominent in
this case New Jersey Democrats having too much fun trashing
these Northeastern lives today. But here is Corey Booker of
New Jersey on the mid terms and jerrymandering.
Speaker 1 (13:22):
Play eleven.
Speaker 6 (13:22):
I'm sick of the jerrymandering. But if Donald Trump is
going to push to jerry nander Texas, he's going to
break the rules in order to win. He can't win
by the rules they are right now, so he thinks
you should break the rules for Democrats to sit back
and just say, Okay, we're going to play by the
queen's rules. No, I'm telling you right now, we need
to win in the mid term. We need to stop
him from cheating, from lying, and from stealing the election.
And if they're doing something to add their congressional seats,
(13:45):
we need to look at our ways of doing that
right now.
Speaker 2 (13:48):
Can I just tell you, Clay, if anyone's fun maybe
she put this up on clayanbuck dot com. Take a
look at Illinois congressional districts. Everybody a state where unfortunately,
you know, I've been to Springfield, Illinois years ago to
give a speech. There's actually a fair amount of Republicans
in that area. Like the rest of Illinois, like a
lot of blue states, is actually quite sane and quite
beautiful in its politics and in its countryside. It's Chicago
(14:10):
that makes the whole thing just a Democrat Democrat uniparty.
And when you look at the congressional map, it is absurd.
I mean, you've got the congressional map, It's like this
little sliver here and there.
Speaker 1 (14:24):
They have gone to.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
Extreme lengths to maintain the maximum number of congressional seats
for themselves in that state. And Corey Booker and Kathy
Hochel are a senator and a governor, respectively. Of the
Democrats acting like, Hey, if you guys don't stop what
you're doing, we're gonna do the thing that we've ruthlessly
been doing all along. What kind of a threat is that?
(14:46):
It's like them threatening to be a bunch of emotionally
unstable weirdos.
Speaker 1 (14:50):
They're already there.
Speaker 3 (14:51):
Yeah, let me give you an example, because to your point, Buck,
Illinois was about a ten and a half point different
in the election, fifty four to forty three. So Illinois
was closer percentage wise than Texas was, certainly than Florida was.
They used to be toss up states too, so and
they basically have written out almost all Democrats have taken
(15:16):
over almost all of the congressional seats, even though to
your point, you're talking about a forty four percent of
the vote going this past year to Trump inside of Illinois. Yeah,
to your point as well, it's the Midwest version of
New York and California. Because of Chicago size, they have
(15:38):
been able basically to take over the entire state and
make it a only one in the Midwest that is
somewhat of a monster reliable blue state turnout. So point
on all this is there is much drama to come,
but it is starting in Texas and we will see
what happens with when the Democrat legislators the state legislature
(16:01):
are going to be forced to come back, and we'll
follow this. And we have reached out as well, by
the way, to the governor of Texas who's been on
the show quite a lot, Greg Abbott, to see what
the latest is there and he has an open invite
to come on the program also. But I want to
tell you right now if you ever had any doubt
about the kind of evil permeating within Hamas on full
(16:24):
display over the weekend when they released video of surviving
Israeli hostages, including one that they may dig his own grave.
They've been in control of Hamas for nearly two years,
and the reason Hamas took those hostages was to try
to retain political power, and that is what they are
still attempting to do, even as so many people in
(16:45):
Gaza struggle. If you want to make a donation right
now to help everyone in Israel, the International Fellowship of
Christians and Jews helps provide food distribution, critical first aid
and emergency supplies. Your gift today will also help place
new bomb shelters all over Israel, along when necessary, supplies
(17:06):
for the existing bomb shelters. Now's the time to help
Israel's innocent and most vulnerable. You can call eight eight

Speaker 8 (17:26):
You ain't imagining it. The world has gone insane. Reclaim
your sanity with clay and funding. Find them on the
free iHeartRadio app or wherever you get your podcasts.
Speaker 1 (17:39):
A lot of.
Speaker 3 (17:41):
Reactions pouring into the Texas attempt to redistribute, reallocate, redistrict
a bunch of different states and the congressional districts so
that Republicans would gain five seats. And a lot of
you from all over the country are weighing in with
(18:03):
a variety of different perspectives, and I'm going to read
several of them. One of you listening in New Mexico
writes in and I want to make sure that I
get this, but I'm looking as I was talking to you,
I was looking up what the twenty twenty four New
Mexico presidential election results looked like. And Kamala Harris won
(18:24):
New Mexico by about five points. Trump got forty six
percent of the vote, Kamala Harris got fifty one or
fifty two percent of the vote, so five to six points.
Speaker 1 (18:36):
In other words, pretty close as states go.
Speaker 3 (18:39):
Virginia was very close, New Mexico was very close, New
Jersey was very close. Minnesota very close. If you are
on the Republican side, looking towards additional states that could
have flipped. But for you know, two and a half
or three percent of voters changing their minds, the outcome
of that race could have been completely flipped. And the
(19:04):
reactions pouring in and this is a good one. This
is from Kevin. I live in New Mexico. I just
told you it was a state five five and a
half points that Trump lost. A couple of years ago,
the Democrat leader of the state legislature publicly stated he
would redraw the lines in New Mexico so no Republican
(19:24):
would ever win again, and he did just that. Most
of southern New Mexico is conservative. We've always been able
to elect Republicans in the southern district. The redrawn lines
put large portions of more liberal areas in the north,
Albuquerque and Santa Fe into the southern district. As a result,
Southern New Mexico has no representation. Don't let the Democrats
(19:47):
act like this is something new and they've never done
it before. They can't handle not being in power. New
Mexico is a great example, I believe again. And there
are a lot of different states and a lot of
different res districtings to be on top of but I
believe just in the last few years, New Mexico said, hey,
we are going to effectively eliminate the Republican Party, and
(20:10):
Democrats have all of the congressional seats. I want to
look up what the math is in Illinois because it's
among the most egregious as we were talking about earlier.
But this is a good question too from Britt who
writes in I don't know enough to fully understand the
redistricting fight in Texas. I'm all for it if it
(20:30):
helps keep Texas red. How does the influx of illegal
immigrants being counted in the census play into the numbers?
Speaker 1 (20:38):
Thanks?
Speaker 3 (20:39):
This is a huge story that no one talks about.
They aren't ostensibly allowed to vote, but illegal immigrants are
counted for congressional districts for purposes of the overall population
in a district, and I think roughly seven hundred thousand
change is the average number of people in each congressional district,
(21:03):
and illegal immigrants are counted there. And depending on which
study you look at, Republicans are losing and Democrats are
gaining ten or more seats based on illegal immigrants being
counted for purposes of a redistricting that seems to me
like it shouldn't be allowed and it seems like something
(21:25):
that should be addressed. And again I didn't know this
until a few years ago was even going on. I
feel like huge percentages of people don't know it still exists.
It's helping to preserve districts that otherwise would be flipped
for actual citizens, and it's actually an incentive for why
illegal immigration does benefit the Democrat party when it comes
(21:47):
to political power allocation.
Speaker 2 (21:51):
Just looking at the strategy here what they've got going on.
Legislators may have committed felonies. We talked about that if
they solicit funds to have made the fines that exist
under House rules. So Texas Democrats face a five hundred
dollars a day fine. Republican controlled legislature approve this punishment
in twenty twenty three when Democrats left for three weeks
(22:14):
to try to block another bill on election integrity, and
Abbott has said in his statement play I will use
my full extradition authority to demand the return to Texas
of any potential out of state felons. Texas State House
Democrat Caucus said, come and take it. So they're you know,
(22:34):
they're creating a show down. I get it, it's politics
and everything else. But the reality here is Democrats are
acting like children because they're not getting their way, and
that's there's there's no what is the good faith explanation
they have for we are we're supposed to be representatives,
we're supposed to show up when there's a session called.
(22:55):
We're just not going to show up to do our job,
so that you can't actually function as the State of
Texas elected officials. So I think that this is pretty
clear what's going on to anyone who's paying attention. But
that's really what this goes to, Clay. They're hoping that
a lot of people just want to hear Republicans are bad.
(23:16):
They don't ever get beyond that. If you turn on MSNBC.
I might have even had Morning Joe on a little
bit this morning. You turn on MSNBC, it's just Republicans
are bad. The argument doesn't matter. And so you have
the same thing with jerrymandering, where it's they're evil. They're
doing the thing that we do all the time, exactly
the same or worse. It doesn't matter, right, They just
want to hear what they want to hear. So I
(23:37):
think whatever tools Texas Republicans have it on at hand
to get the quorum, they should absolutely use and they
should put on the political brass knuckles for this one.
Speaker 1 (23:49):
It's time.
Speaker 3 (23:50):
Illinois fourteen Democrats, three Republicans, and I just told you
that Republicans got almost forty five percent of the overall
presidential vote in the state. So fourteen to three in
Illinois is among the most egregious of all of the
(24:13):
redrawn states. We just mentioned New Mexico, which forty six
percent of people voted Republican in that state, not one
single congressional representative. And by the way, I would think
as you look towards twenty twenty eight that New Mexico
is one of the states that Republicans would say it
may well be moving towards us, because Nevada and Arizona
(24:36):
were both very successful twenty twenty four cycles.
Speaker 2 (24:40):
Well, also, what tools are at their disposal, Just to
clarify that, Governor Abbott has said that this is a
quote abandonment or forfeiture of an elected state office, and
so they don't show up. The Texas Age says that
they can take steps to quote remove the missing Democrats
from membership in the Texas House. Now maybe that goes
(25:03):
into the courts, but let's be very clear about this.
If they're able to do this, I mean, just just
work on this logically. Like I'm not going to pretend
that I'm an expert in the Texas State Constitution, right,
and I'm sure it's a robust and very interesting document. Uh,
but if you just look at this logically, Clay, then
anybody who's in the minority party could completely block all
(25:25):
business in the in the Texas or in the state
legislature that they don't like by refusing to show up
for work.
Speaker 1 (25:31):
That's it. I mean, think about what a what a
you know, veto that is on the business of the state.
Speaker 2 (25:39):
You can just say, oh, until we have a majority
in this state, we are just going to stay home
from work and prevent the other people who want to
show up from doing the people's business.
Speaker 1 (25:48):
That's insane. Well, and of course that's insane.
Speaker 3 (25:51):
Not only that, how about the decision to flee to Illinois,
which is I think probably the most jerry mandered state
in the entire country. Texas Democrats will still have a
much higher percentage of seats in the state of Texas
than Republicans.
Speaker 1 (26:11):
Do in Illinois.
Speaker 3 (26:13):
So I just I don't understand sometimes how moronic the
calculus is. And it's not always on the Democrat side,
also on the Republican side sometimes this happens. But if
you were just calling up for advice and you said, hey,
we're going to leave the state and refuse to do
our job, I would say, well, I think that's a
bad look.
Speaker 1 (26:32):
Point one. And then in point two, if you were saying,
and we're going to flee and we're going.
Speaker 3 (26:37):
To go to Illinois, I would say, well, have you
looked at the map of Illinois? Because you're actually arguing
against a jerrymander by fleeing to the most egregious jerrymandered
state in the entire country.
Speaker 2 (26:49):
But you are getting several layers deep into this analysis,
and they are assuming they're Democrats, they assume their voters
don't know anything to begin with, not going to understand
or care to understand what's going on here. Right, You're
you're approaching this like if you were sitting across from
somebody who's a you know, a Democrat political strategist, and
(27:11):
we're having this argument or you're having this debate, right,
which it's important for all of you to hear this,
But what Clay is doing doesn't even I don't think
this the Democrats believe that's even relevant. You know, the
argument is irrelevant. It's the emotion, it's the feeling. It's yeah, resist,
But even if you're there.
Speaker 3 (27:28):
Even if you're a moron and you're like, hey, first
of all, to start now and act like when every
state has basically jerrymandered for the whole decade that is
either red or blue, to act now as if oh
my goodness, I can't believe Texas. I love to, you know,
grab your pearls and fall on your fainting couch here
is ridiculous. But if you're going to protest, I would
(27:51):
just suggest going to a blue state that is one
of the least jerrymandered states and trying to argue, hey,
this is the way that real politicians do it.
Speaker 1 (28:03):
JB. JB.
Speaker 2 (28:04):
Pritzker, the trust fund billionaires, said he's providing them with
office space and he's hooking them up right, I mean,
he's got them covered.
Speaker 1 (28:11):
And also he is get.
Speaker 3 (28:12):
That hard to do that in Minnesota, or to do that.
I mean, I'm just saying, even by moron status, to.
Speaker 2 (28:19):
Go, you got to drop. You got to drop the
IQ fifteen points here, Clay. You got to stop thinking,
you know, you got to start thinking about this, like
the uh, the average MSNBC viewer who's just like e.
Speaker 1 (28:30):
Republicans are bad. I don't like them, you know, that's it.
What they're doing. Jerry Mandering is racist. How is jerry
What does it even mean? It's just about getting votes
for your song. It's racist, I mean anything. This is
actually interesting.
Speaker 3 (28:44):
Do you know why, calif why Texas is able to
change the congressional districts as they are Hispanic support.
Speaker 2 (28:52):
Yes, the the Hispanic support for racist Yeah. And and
by the way, the biggest wings when it comes to
congressional districts of Hispanic support towards the Republicans are in
the areas most directly affected by the open border, free
for all policies of the Biden administration, meaning border adjacent.
(29:12):
They've had people literally running through their backyards for years
and they've had enough. They actually don't like that, And
I understand why.
Speaker 1 (29:21):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (29:21):
I just think it's super fascinating because the reason this
map is able to be written and expanded as it
is is because Democrats have hemorrhaged Hispanic support and as
a result, Republicans can now draw majority Hispanic districts which
are going to elect Republicans, which, by the way, you
(29:41):
talked earlier about Trump being right. They said that Trump
would make Hispanics forever not willing to vote for Republicans. Instead,
he almost won Hispanics in twenty twenty four according to
nationwide AP vote cast.
Speaker 1 (30:00):
This is hugely the historic advantage. This is a huge reason.
Speaker 2 (30:03):
Why the pendulum has swung so clearly on the issue
of deportations and immigration enforcement.
Speaker 1 (30:09):
It used to be, oh, you're racist, you want a
secure border.
Speaker 2 (30:12):
Really, the the sixty percent of Latinos who want a
secure border because they're Latino Americans who are legally here
they're racist against Latinos, is that what we're going for
doesn't work.
Speaker 1 (30:25):
That's not that doesn't fly the way that it used to.
Speaker 2 (30:28):
All Right, if your cell phone service is with Verizon
AT and T or T Mobile, you're overpaying for wireless.
You're paying retail stores that you're never going to go
into that you don't need. You're paying for high end
sponsorship deal, stadium rights and naming all that stuff. You
don't need any of that, and you also maybe think
you're getting superior five G service, but you're not. Puretalk
uses the same five G network on the same five
(30:50):
G towers as those other companies. Only difference they don't
charge you for any of the extras that you simply
don't need. Instead, Puretalk gives you unlimited talk, text, and
plenty of data for just twenty five dollars a month.
That's less than half the price of the other companies
during a time when saving a dollar really matters. Clay
and I are both Puretalk customers. He's got his boys
with pure Talk phones. I've got a pure Talk phone.
(31:12):
It's so easy to switch. You keep your phone in
your number. If you want from your cell phone, dial
pound two fifty, say Clay and Buck. You'll save an
additional fifty percent off your first month. You can switch
over to pure Talk in just about ten minutes. Dial
pound two five zero say Clay and Buck. Switch to
pure Talk Wireless. Buy Americans for Americans.

Speaker 1 (31:41):
Sydney Sweeney.
Speaker 2 (31:44):
It's getting a lot of attention, a lot of attention
and not just from the avid readers and fans of
OutKick World and other places, but from the President himself.
Sydney Sweeney is a cultural and American phenomenon in this moment.
(32:04):
You some of you, I think the guys and a
lot of ladies. But the guys.
Speaker 1 (32:09):
Listening are familiar, familiar with her work.
Speaker 2 (32:14):
You could say she is on billboards. She has been
in some TV shows and movies. I haven't really seen
anything she's in other than what is that called White Lotus.
Speaker 1 (32:26):
That's the only thing I think.
Speaker 3 (32:27):
You can't see anyone but you or whatever that show
was called with Glenn Powell.
Speaker 2 (32:32):
That was not an awful romantic comedy. I did not
see it, but perhaps I shall now because we learned
some very interesting things about miss Sweeney over the course
of the weekend. They have done a deep dive into
or of course, they're trying to find out as much
as they can in the hopes of trying to trash
her brand now because being blonde, blue eyed and having
(32:53):
a buxom figure is something that the left wing democrats.
I saw somebody, I think it was Clay in the
maybe it was the Free Press, some analysis. Somebody wrote
about how it wokeness wasn't about expanding the concept of
beauty beyond a very specific either background or you know, ethnicity,
(33:14):
archetype or whatever. It was actually about making beauty not
a thing. You were not allowed to celebrate beauty, Like
I said, because for all time, guys, one of the
areas where there's actually a tremendous amount of inclusivity is
men like beautiful women of all backgrounds, ethnicities, all. You know,
(33:34):
that is a common, overwhelmingly thing around the way. I
have argued for a long time, and I think it's
actually I think it take it as a positive. I
don't think most men see race. I think they see
hot or not. I think most heterosexual men by and
(33:54):
large are attracted to women of all different backgrounds biologically
kind of makes some sense, right, But I think most
men white, Black, Asian, Hispanic. Doesn't mean you might not
have a preference. People might like blondes, they might like
tall girls. You know, there's all sorts of specifics. But
but you know, in her in her heyday, I mean
(34:15):
you could find any number.
Speaker 1 (34:16):
You know.
Speaker 2 (34:17):
Some people are big Samahayak fans, some people are big
Tyra Banks fans. Some but there's a general understanding that
these are these are physically beautiful and gifted females.
Speaker 3 (34:29):
And by the way, this is also important and uh,
because they tried to say, hey, men are just being
culturally told. You remember this argument, You're just being culturally
told by Western civilization what you should find detractive, and
this is something that you're being propagandized with. And then
(34:49):
they actually studied men all around the world, and they
found out men all around the world basically like the
same things. And to a large extent, defending men here
to a large extent, it is a function of biology.
That is young, healthy women, blonde haired women. For instance,
our glass figure. Now we get scientists, clay, we get
(35:12):
finance clay. Now we have scientists clay. Look, I am
fascinated by evolutionary biology because by and large biology doesn't fail.
The reason why men are attracted to our glass figures,
this is one hundred percent true, is because women with
our glass figures historically are more likely to have successful
(35:33):
childbirth wide hips.
Speaker 1 (35:35):
Like that.
Speaker 2 (35:36):
All of this is one hundred percent true. Okay, I
think you could probably think for breastfeeding purposes, larger breast
babies tended healthy women tended to be able to handle
breastfeeding and handle women have handled childbirth better. All of
this is biology. All of this is basic biology. Everybody
(35:56):
wants to act like, oh, this is just something that
you've been for that they but that's the essential point convinced,
is that is that the woke female ad thing, the
changes that were being made, it wasn't. Let's expand so
that there are more because there have been you know,
McLay and I grew up in the era a lot
(36:18):
of you know what I'm talking about, grew up in
the air of the Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue. There have
been ladies of all different hair colors, ladies of all
different skin colors, that this has been the deal for
a very long time. There's nothing new with any of that,
but there are certain biological realities that they tended to share.
I don't have to get into, you know, it's a
family show. I don't have to get into too much
of the specifics here. For the young ones who are listening,
(36:39):
you know, we all we all know what I'm talking about.
Speaker 1 (36:40):
Or for the.
Speaker 2 (36:41):
Younger generation, you know, they're aware of this as well.
But Clay, there was an effort to make beauty a
thing that we no longer were allowed to celebrate and appreciate.
That's really what the left of the Democrats were doing.
And and I think anybody who's been paying attention to
it has seen that this is a moment where it
is exposed. Now there's a there's an anti white agenda
(37:03):
that is at work with the Sydney Sweeney controversy, such
as it shouldn't be a controversy, but they've made it one.
And then there's also the anti general beauty agenda. Trump
spoke out on this, so now the President's involved everybody.
Speaker 1 (37:17):
That's why it's news.
Speaker 2 (37:17):
We're not just two guys sitting here talking about a
lady who has a nice, nice appearance. Trump spoke play
cut two here about her American Eagle.
Speaker 1 (37:26):
Adblican who was She's a registered Republican. Oh now, I
love her head? Is that right?
Speaker 4 (37:40):
As Sidney Sweeney, you'd be surprised at how many people
are Republicans.
Speaker 1 (37:45):
That's what I wouldn't have known. But I'm glad you
told me that.
Speaker 5 (37:49):
If Sydney Sweeney is a registered Republican, I think her
head is fantastic.
Speaker 2 (37:56):
Really, there you go, blessed from the top from Trump himself,
and I would just say, Clay, there's also video. You know,
it's funny. I was at the gun range this weekend.
Not as exciting for the guys listening as Sidney Sweeney
was also at the gun range at some point, and
there's video of it. She's at the Terror I believe
that the Tarran Tactical Range out in California, which is
where Keanu Reeves trains for the John Wick movies.
Speaker 1 (38:18):
Pretty well known.
Speaker 2 (38:19):
Taron himself is a well known guy in the gun world,
and she's moving around hitting steel with a pistol, doing
a nice job. So, Clay, we found out that Sydney
Sweeney attacked by the left, hated for being attractive, Republican,
registered Republican in Florida, and likes guns, or at least's
willing to go shooting and have video of herself taken.
(38:41):
The lefts the heads are exploding all over the place.
She's leaning into this, which is exactly the right move.
Speaker 1 (38:46):
I love her balls.
Speaker 3 (38:47):
I said balls figuratively speaking, because there's several things about this.
First of all, she's twenty seven years old. She has
as her primary residence the state of Florida. She bought
a beach compound style of state. I remember reading about
it when she bought it, and she went and registered
(39:08):
to vote. And when she registered to vote in Florida,
she registered as a Republican. And some people out there
are going to say, well, whoop do do big deal?
Let me ask you this. Can you name I started
off the show talking about this a little bit because
I said we were going to get into this. Can
you name a prominent twenty something in Hollywood that has
(39:30):
come out unabashedly as a Republican?
Speaker 1 (39:33):
And let me just say, she didn't have to.
Speaker 3 (39:35):
This is what you should want someone who's in her
twenties or his twenties to do. You move to a
new state, you actually care enough about how the nation
is going that you go and register to vote in
your new state. And as a part of the state
of Florida, evidently there's party registration. Some states don't have this,
(39:57):
some states do, and you in order probably vote in
a primary. You would know this better than me, because
I'm not a Floridian. You can, I think, register as
a Republican, Democrat, are independent. There is party registration. In
other words, where I live in Tennessee, we do not
have party registration so you can walk in on primary
day and just say, hey, I want to vote in
(40:20):
the Democrat side or the Republican side. And in fact,
sometimes people go and sometimes, as Rush has said with
Project Chaos, sometimes people will vote in the opposite side
because they know who their nominee is going to be.
But I give her immense credit because she's smart. She
had to know that at some point in time somebody
(40:40):
could look up her voter registration file. Easy thing to do,
Buck is just say I'm not going to register. I'm
an actress, I'm in Hollywood. It doesn't benefit me for
people to know that I might be voting Trump, but
instead or DeSantis for that matter. Instead, she went and
she registered as a Republican. And I just think it's fabulous.
(41:01):
I love I think this is an important message and
for those of you out there so I don't care
about what look. Having people in their twenties who are
being outspoken in any way about being Republicans, I think
is important in the culture because I think it starts
to create more space for others to also say, hey,
we don't have to agree on everything, and by the way,
(41:23):
I'm a Republican. In what is a monolithic in many
ways public Hollywood arena.
Speaker 2 (41:28):
I also think that democrats have realized that the position
that was the position that wokeness was taking on this
issue of female beauty was both untenable, or rather was untenable, unpopular,
and also dishonest.
Speaker 1 (41:47):
I used to see this, and you've seen this too clear.
Speaker 2 (41:49):
You would have women who would who themselves were very
you know, physically esthetically pleasing, who will go around preaching
about how oh you know, body like the body positivity movement. Yeah,
you know, there wasn't that much of.
Speaker 1 (42:07):
This, but you see a little bit of this.
Speaker 2 (42:08):
There's a hypocrisy involved in this because on the one hand,
you have people that are telling you, oh, you know,
you know, beautiful at any size and these things that
started to be said. On the other hand, the second
that they want to get a role or they you know,
they're trying to get in the best shape possible and
they're trying to be as competitive in the dating and
the mating market as possible. It's like women who tell
(42:30):
other women this is always that, this is always the thing.
And you know what I'm going to say, Women who
think that their their fellow ladies are their friend and
they're like, yeah, all that long hair that you have
that your husband or you know your husband loves just
or your boyfriend, just chop it all off.
Speaker 6 (42:46):
Just.
Speaker 2 (42:46):
They've actually done studies of this and this behavior they
believe is psychologically driven by female competitive competitiveness over dating
and mating. That's if they if a woman views you
as also attractive for reason, maybe it's subconscious, she's gonna
tell you, oh yeah, chop off all your hair. Because
men never approve of this behavior. They're never like, you
(43:08):
know what, chop all your hair off, go with the
go with the like marine crew cut, look for me, please.
That's not actually appealing to men. And the same thing
was true a body positivity built on a lot a
lot of people lying about this, a lot of people saying,
oh yeah, you know, I think that people are beautiful.
It's like really, because now you're taking ozepic and you've
lost fifty pounds and you were pretending before, right, you know,
(43:31):
these these influencers and these people you'll see clay people
online who will freak out on anybody who says men
men or women who say that calories in calories out matters,
like this is just a delusion. I yes, and I
think it's all connected to trying to take away beauty. Yeah,
(43:52):
and this is big picture, but I mean, I think
you can look at the way that communist structures are
often built, the modern style of architecture.
Speaker 1 (44:03):
It's ugly, right.
Speaker 3 (44:04):
If you walk around and you see classical architecture, Greek
Roman designs beautiful, it's majestic. Very often, it's not I
think you said last week, it's not a surprise that
if you go look at the nudes of ancient Greece
and ancient Rome, the bodies are very attractive, right, And
and I think that that aspirational goal. Look, I went
(44:29):
today for my physical and I had to stand and
you stood on those body measurement devices where they like
register your fatten and I was like lower, lower, you know,
like you want to be in better shape, you want
to be more physically, you know, in shape.
Speaker 1 (44:45):
At the we've tried to make it.
Speaker 2 (44:48):
Everybody should try to be the healthiest, strongest, best version
of themselves. There's a whole other ranch I can go on.
And I know about this because I live in South Florida.
Of all these people that are influencers who are lying
to you and they're all t steroids, including some of
the women, by the way, all taking I mean, they're
all lying to you. That's a whole other conversation. The
reality is everybody should seek, whether you're twenty five or
(45:09):
eighty five, be the healthiest, best, strongest version of yourself.
And that's the goal that everyone the same way, you
want to be the smartest and best, well and most
well read.
Speaker 1 (45:20):
Version of yourself.
Speaker 3 (45:22):
I also think for the Sidney Sweeney angle, bringing it
back home here, I think that we've seen a lot
of young men move into the Republican camp. I think
men have been leading that charge. They're less concerned with
what others say about them. I think a lot of
twenty something women and teenage women are desperately afraid of
what people say about them on social media. So having
(45:44):
someone brave like Sidney Sweeney who was saying, hey, I'm
gonna make the right choices as I see it, I
think there are other young women that will see her
and have a little bit more courage maybe to speak
out than they otherwise would have.
Speaker 2 (45:58):
We also have massive data sets now stretching over many,
many years of what people actually like and what including women,
by the way, when it comes to men what they
find attractive. And all these people who tell you I
don't care and every they're all.
Speaker 1 (46:11):
Lying to you.
Speaker 2 (46:12):
Everybody has things that they find attractive. And that's short men.
Ask bald short men on dating apps. Sorry, I wasn't
going to go any bald short My bald short King's
out there. We're here for you, all right, you know
you you find those guys.
Speaker 3 (46:26):
You know, they have to work way harder because lots
of women are eliminating them. Men like by and large
hour glass figures. They know what they like, pretty faces, right,
But I mean, I think this whole idea that that
we've been sold, which is a bill of goods, like, hey,
be fat men are gonna love you not as much sadly.
Speaker 2 (46:48):
Yes, it's hard to believe. But home invasion happens all
the time. You saw that Sydney Sweeney video. A lot
of you, right, she's moving around well with that pistol.
But some of you either already have firearms in the
home and want to have a non lethal option, or
you're just more comfortable non lethal. And given the amount
of home invasions that happen across the country, given the
realities of having to possibly defend yourself, your family in
(47:09):
your home. I want you to check out the products
that Saber has because if you're looking for non lethal

Safe Stories are freedom stories of America. Inspirational stories that
you unite us all each day, spend time with and
find them on the free iHeartRadio app or wherever you
get your podcasts.
Speaker 2 (48:06):
We love talkbacks here, we love them, but taking a look,
we're gonna look at that talkbacks are fantastic.
Speaker 1 (48:12):
You know how to do that.
Speaker 2 (48:13):
Go to the iHeartRadio app, the best audio app out there,
iheartradiou and get that's free.
Speaker 1 (48:18):
You download it.
Speaker 2 (48:19):
You go to the Clay Endbuck page, you click subscribe
on the podcast obviously you gotta do that, and then
also you send us by pressing the little microphone a talkback.
Speaker 1 (48:29):
It's fun.
Speaker 2 (48:29):
It's like a throwback to when we all used to
have voice mess voicemail. Remember, I guess people. I feel
like people don't do voicemail really anymore now. In fact,
a lot of people find voicema now, not with talkbacks.
Speaker 1 (48:40):
Those are awesome.
Speaker 2 (48:41):
Send us all the talkbacks you want, But Clay, if
someone leaves a voice message for you, I feel like
I only get voice messages from telemarketers now, or or
people that want you know, they want to buy something
or sell something or whatever. It's always a business transaction.
It's kind of how I feel about old school mail.
Nothing good ever comes from me an old school mail,
except for maybe a wedding invite, and even though it is.
Speaker 1 (49:03):
A lot of the time, I could do without. But
that's another conversation.
Speaker 3 (49:05):
Well, it's also tough because inevitably you'll get a voicemail
and be somewhere where you don't have good reception, and
I'm always like, well, this must be really serious. If
somebody left me a voicemail for it, right, it's the
doctor calling to give you some you know, like I
went today and got my blood work done. It feels
like hospitals doctors maybe call you to give you medical results.
Speaker 1 (49:27):
Otherwise maybe people who just don't text.
Speaker 3 (49:31):
Really, I would say people who are who are senior
citizens more likely than not, because otherwise, just shoot me
a quick text and I'll, you know, be able to
respond as best as best I can.
Speaker 2 (49:44):
Yeah, Texting is generally my preferred method of communication as well.
We have Bill Maher who weighed in, here's a prediction
Clay in twenty twenty six is gonna be on Bill marshown.
I'm gonna think I'm banned.
Speaker 1 (50:01):
I think banned.
Speaker 3 (50:03):
It's owned by the same company as CNN, because I've
never been invited, and I see some of the guests
that they have on there. They go pretty far down
sometimes the food chain of I know, I know a.
Speaker 2 (50:15):
Guy, I know a guy. We're gonna, we're gonna make
this happen. I would love that's what We're gonna get
you unbanned. That would be fun. We're gonna get you
unbanned because I think you're right. I think the corporate
policy there probably crosses over. We're gonna get you unbanned
and make this happen. But anyway, Bill Maher spoke out
on the Sydney Sweeney thing, and look, I think Bill
has some penance to do because he was part of
(50:36):
the woke mob for a while. I've not forgotten this,
but he if we're going to keep the door, Look
you got Tolci Gabbard ran for president as a Democrat
and now she's Trump's d and I and she's doing
a great job.
Speaker 1 (50:45):
You gotta leave room for for penance and for a conversion. Right.
Speaker 2 (50:49):
That's we want converts, we just want them to actually
be converts. Now, Bill Maher is not a convert, to
be clear. He's good on some issues, and he's generally
willing to talk to people even that he disagrees with,
which separates him from most Democrats. And I have respect
for that, and I appreciate the way that he is
reasonable to conservatives like me who come on his show.
(51:10):
That's why I think it'd be worth it for Claty
go on. And like I said, I think we'll make
that happen next year. But here he is on Sydney
Sweeney Play three.
Speaker 10 (51:16):
She talks about the fact that she has blue eyes,
and then she says, I have great jeans, you know,
because she's wearing jeans. But according to the woke people,
this means that she's a white supremacist. It also doesn't
help that her brass eye is thirty six KKK. I
will say this, they should have been aware when they
wrote this ad that this is what some people were
(51:38):
going to think. I don't think they did it on purpose.
But also I think it's pretty funny that all the
online social justice girls are like, it's racist, there's no
such thing as good jeans, right, and then you go
on Tender and swipe left on every bold guy.
Speaker 2 (51:54):
Can I just say, first of all, the swipe at
our friend Jesse Kelly was unnecessary and hurtful, Okay, unnecess
the area, it hurtful, And second of all, I think
Clay that that's exactly the point here is that everybody,
everybody knows that the the whiny voices online that are
saying things like, oh, like, you know, no one no
(52:14):
one even cares about beautiful women, or this won't sell,
or this is racist, no one actually believes that, really,
unless you're completely brainwashed and living in another another reality
and alternate reality.
Speaker 3 (52:25):
I just also think that everybody talks about genes all
the time, ge n e s and not in a
hit larian eugenics fashion, but just in hey, look at
your kids. Oh you got grandpa's eye color, Oh you
got you know grandma's you know, curly hair. I mean,
(52:49):
this is something that every single family, white, Black, Asian
and Hispanic sits around and talks about all the time.
So trying to make the callback to eugenics part of
this buck is just so many people are historically illiterate
that everything has to be analogized to Nazism, right, I mean,
(53:13):
the only thing we can all agree that it is
bad is Nazism. Meanwhile, not that Nazism isn't bad, it
is very bad MAO. Great Famine, forty to sixty million
killed as a function of state policies, Stalin, millions liquidated
in the Purge Cambodia, the highest number of people per
(53:34):
capita killed in any commun I mean, I'm just saying
I would like it if people would know about more
of the horrible things that collectivist ideology has done in
the last one hundred or so years.
Speaker 1 (53:43):
But yes, Nazism very bad.
Speaker 3 (53:45):
And what are the odds that something you don't like
today is actually synonymous with the worst thing that's happened
in one hundred years in the world. Even if you
accept that Nazism is the worst thing that has ever
happen and in the history of humanity, which, by the way,
you could rank a lot of awful things, right again
(54:06):
the historical analogy, as lots of awful things have happened.
But even if you presume, let's just say it, the
Nazis are the worst people that have ever lived in
the history of the world. What are the odds that
somebody having a different opinion than you in America today
is actually reflective of Nazi ideology would be really low, right,
I mean, if you think that Nazism is the worst
(54:28):
thing that's ever happened in the history of the world,
someone in America arguing against you on a political issue
is probably unlikely to mirror Nazi ideology. As we have
said on this program for some time, I don't even
know what white supremacist we talk about white supremeacy You've
never met I've never met one, actually never actually been
in the same proximity with them. Yeah, I And so
(54:50):
we talk about this huge supposedly dangerous ideology that's sweeping
across America. And yet most of you out there listening
right now can't even name a white supremacist.
Speaker 1 (55:02):
And certainly when they go to.
Speaker 3 (55:04):
David Duke, which is when I was a kid, when
David Duke exists, they can even point to someone in
the twenty first century who is a strong political leader
that would even embrace or endorse a sentilla of white supremacy.
And so this whole idea that they would try to
connect Sidney Sweeney to it, I think is just falling
(55:27):
so flat flat, And I think this country actually became
so it actually went so far from what they're when
they talk about white supremacy and racism.
Speaker 2 (55:37):
It went so far in the other direction that it
was considered wrong for you to say, as a white person, hey,
I don't think it's fair that people of certain other
skin colors are going to get into college or get
this job instead of me, who are less qualified by
the numbers that we all use. For these reasons, you
weren't allowed to really say that. Oh, until the Supreme
Court finally came down and said, you know what, this
is wrong. You can't do that anymore, And now the
(55:59):
trump idministration is enforcing that, which is going to take time.
But that's how you want racism in this country. That's
a component of racism that we're still dealing with today,
which is making racial designations or discrimination in favor of
certain groups at the expense of others. That's still racism.
(56:20):
It actually is still racism. People cannot like that, but
it's true.
Speaker 3 (56:24):
Well, I think this also ties in and I would
say this is a positive. The Overton window has expanded,
by which I mean the things that you can actually discuss.
You'll remember this. This was really controversial for me to say,
and people got so mad at me on social media.
During BLM, I said, well, yeah, you know, I don't
want black people to get killed by police. But then
(56:46):
when you go back and look at the stats, seventy
five percent of people shot and killed by police or Asian, Hispanic,
or white, and you weren't allowed to even say that,
and most mostly white. By the way, it was mostly white.
Speaker 2 (56:58):
I think I think r plurality was yeah, like, go ahead,
so you go back, you actually look at the data
and say, okay, if you want to have a conversation
about police use of force, what we should talk about
not just black police use of force, we should talk
about white Asian, Hispanic. That's actually a way to unite
the country. The other part of this was people said.
Speaker 3 (57:15):
Well, we've got to stop all of the people who
are victims of black violence. Then you look at black
violence and you say, well, you realize something like ninety
five percent of all black violence is black people perpetrating
against other black people, right yep. And so when you're
only focusing on white on black violence, you're actually eliminating
(57:35):
ninety five percent or higher of the violence that black
people face. And then you take a step further and
you say, hey, black people are twelve or thirteen percent
of the population, and they actually commit over half of
all murders. The vast majority of the people they murder
are black. If you really want to end murder, which
by the way, I'm in favor of, I wish we
(57:56):
could have a zero murder rate in the country.
Speaker 1 (57:58):
Brave, very brave from anti murder today.
Speaker 3 (58:01):
I hate murder more than anybody in the country. I
am anti murder more than you are. The only way
to address murder is to actually stop the people who
are committing the murders from doing it. And if you
did that, what would that mean? That would mean that
you would need aggressive policing in minority communities where murder
(58:23):
is far more likely and where young black men are
overwhelmingly the victims of other young black men when it
comes to murder. What did they do for BLM Buck?
They said police shouldn't be able to do their jobs
anymore because they're racist.
Speaker 1 (58:35):
What happened?
Speaker 3 (58:37):
Thousands of black kids got killed that would otherwise be
alive today if cops have been able.
Speaker 1 (58:41):
To do their jobs.
Speaker 2 (58:42):
This is because it was lies pile the top lies, pile,
the top lies.
Speaker 1 (58:46):
The whole thing was a lies, lies lives. When people
are lying to you, there's a problem.
Speaker 2 (58:50):
And when they lie to you about police violence against
black people, when they lie to you about black on
black crime, when they lie to you about these things,
you know there's a problem. When they lie to you
about whether or not women are, whether beautiful women are
something that society desires and celebrates in general, there's a problem.
Speaker 1 (59:05):
And President Trump agrees Clay. He just weighed in.
Speaker 2 (59:08):
He just weighed in on truth social on Sidney Sweeney. Oh,
he did even really well, this is going to take
it to the next level. Sidney Sweeney, a registered Republican,
has the hottest ad out there. It's for American Eagle
and the jeans are flying off the shelves. Go get him, Sydney.
On the other side of the ledger, Jaguar did a
stupid and seriously woke advertisement that is a total disaster.
(59:32):
The CEO just resigned and disgrace. The company's an absolute turmoil.
Who wants to buy a Jaguar after looking at that
disgraceful ad? Shouldn't they have learned a lesson from bud Light,
which went woke and essentially destroyed in a short campaign
the company. The market cap destruction has been unprecedented, with
billions of dollars foolishly lost. Look at woke singer Taylor Swift.
Ever since I alerted the world as to what she
(59:52):
was by saying the truth that I can't stand her hate.
Speaker 1 (59:56):
She was booed out of the super Bowl. It became
no longer hot. I'm hoping this is real. By the way,
even if it's fake, it's brilliant.
Speaker 2 (01:00:04):
The tide is seriously turned being woke As for losers,
being Republican is what you want to be.
Speaker 1 (01:00:08):
Thank you for your attention. In this matter.
Speaker 2 (01:00:10):
Again, it could be it could be a fake Trump tweet,
let me check. But even if it's fake, it's capturing
the zeit guy. So there you have it. Let me see.
Speaker 1 (01:00:18):
I'll wait. You know you look at that right now.
Speaker 3 (01:00:20):
We know the comments that we played for you earlier
of him by Air Force one were true.
Speaker 1 (01:00:26):
Trump is so.
Speaker 3 (01:00:28):
Plugged into the culture that many of these things sound
like Trump will say, yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:00:34):
I checked, it's real. Sorry, I'm very excited. Now go ahead.
Speaker 3 (01:00:37):
American Eagle stock, by the way, is up twenty four
percent today alone in the wake of the President's statement,
and also many people wining up to support Sidney Sweeney.
So again, this is going to take it to the
next level. But all of this started because maybe we
(01:01:00):
need to go grab Greg Will you go grab the
Good Morning America clip that we played where they had
the eugenics exp Well, first of all, who makes a
living as a eugenics expert today? Can you imagine what
do you do for a living while I work at
a nonprofit? What do you study eugenics one hundred years ago?
How are you a eugenics expert today? Anyway, we'll play
(01:01:23):
that ad. Sorry, that news story reacting to the ad
when we come back. But Trump has just taken it,
as he often does, to the next level.
Speaker 2 (01:01:34):
Because of you and so many other generous people, Preborn
has rescued over thirty eight thousand unborn babies this year.
These babies most likely would never have been brought into
this world if their mothers have been left to make
the choice that can so often lead to abortion. But
Preborn is on the front lives, saving lives. Vulnerable women
who are pregnant are put in these situations. They're getting
(01:01:56):
pressure from their partner, their boyfriend, there in their family,
and Preborn is there to say, hold on a second,
Let's introduce you to that tiny baby with an ultrasound
and let's let you know that you're gonna have support.
If you bring this baby into the world, You're not
going to be alone. That is the incredible godly mission
that Preborn is on day in and day out. For
(01:02:17):
just twenty eight dollars, you can introduce at risk babies
to their mothers through this ultrasound process. Twenty eight dollars,
that's all it takes to save a life today with Preborn,
And if you can, please consider a twenty eight dollars
monthly donation. It's one hundred percent tax deductible, and a
gift of any amount will go directly towards saving Babies'
lives and Preborn's fantastic mission. Just dial pound two fifty
(01:02:40):
and say the keyword baby. That's pound two five zero

Speaker 9 (01:02:52):
Two guys walk up to a mic he anything goes
Clay Travis and Buck Sex to find them on the
free iHeartRadio app or wherever you get your podcasts
Clay. Have you heard of the Rio Reset? Sounds like
a trendy new workout, Buck, it.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
Does, but it's actually a big summit going on in Brazil.
The formal name is BRICKS, which stands for Brazil, Russia, India,
China and South Africa. But they've just added five new members.
Speaker 3 (00:14):
Smart move to stick with Bricks. We know what happens
when acronyms don't end. They confuse everyone.
Speaker 1 (00:19):
Well, that's an understatement.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
Bricks is a group of emerging economies hoping to increase
their sway in the global financial order.
Speaker 3 (00:26):
Now that sounds like the plot line of a movie.
I'm listening.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
Philip Patrick is our Bruce Wayne. He's a precious metal
specialist and a spokesman for the Birch Gold Group. He's
on the ground in Rio getting the whole low down
on what's going on there.
Speaker 1 (00:40):
Can he give us some inside intel?
Speaker 2 (00:42):
Absolutely, he's been there since day one. In fact, a
major theme at the summit is how Bricks Nations aim
to reduce reliance on the US dollar in global trade.
Speaker 3 (00:51):
Yikes, that doesn't sound good. We got to get Philip
on the line.
Speaker 2 (00:54):
Stat already did and he left the Clay and Buck
audience this message.
Speaker 4 (00:58):
The world is moving on from the dollar quietly but steadily.
These nations are making real progress towards reshaping global trade,
and the US dollar is no longer the centerpiece. That
shift doesn't happen overnight, but make no mistake, it's already begun.
Speaker 2 (01:17):
Thank you, Philip. Protect the value of your savings account,
your four oh one k r ira, all of them,
by purchasing gold and placing it into those accounts and
reducing your exposure to a declining dollar value. Text my
name Buck to ninety eight ninety eight ninety eight you
get the free information you'll need to make the right decision.
You can rely on Birch Gold Group as I do
to give you the information you need to make an
(01:38):
informed decision. One more time, Text my name Buck to
ninety eight ninety eight ninety eight.
Speaker 3 (01:44):
Welcome in Monday edition Clay Travis buck Sexton's show. Appreciate
all of you hanging out with us. As we are
rolling into yet another week with lots of good news
pouring in. There now seems to be expectation that, guess what,
Trump was right, They are going to cut interest rates
(02:04):
in September. Stock market is soaring on those expectations today
moving back.
Speaker 1 (02:11):
Towards record high levels.
Speaker 3 (02:13):
So that is the big economic news as we move
closer and closer to a teriff resolution with many different
countries around the world. Also a bunch of other things
going on. We have got Texas redistricting turning into a
monster battle, which I am going to dive into here
(02:37):
with you guys.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
Shortly, machetes have been banned in.
Speaker 3 (02:40):
Australia, which is just a ridiculously funny story we'll have
some fun with. And President Trump has weighed in on
Sidney Sweeney and the impact of that ad continues to
echo as also for those of you out there that
get fired up about culture and don't.
Speaker 1 (03:01):
Care and you're like, Sidney Sweeney.
Speaker 3 (03:03):
Is registered as a Republican in Bucks state of Florida.
I challenge anybody out there Buck. We'll get into this
a little bit, but I can't think of anybody in
his or her twenties that is as famous in Hollywood
as Sidney Sweeney is that has ever been publicly identified
(03:25):
as a Republican. Now, there are lots of people, because
I spent a lot of time in la in which
you always hear in LA is if they never talk
about politics. They're a Republican. And there are lots of
those people out there, many of whom you would be
fans of if you enjoy going to movies, television shows,
streaming services, all those things. So there are lots of them,
(03:46):
they just don't speak out Sidney Sweeney being a registered
Republican in her twenties. Look, there are guys like Sylvester Stallone,
Arnold Schwarzenegger, Mel Gibson, a lot of the stars of
nineteen eighties film are Republican and are out there publicly,
but they're all in their seventies or older. To have
a twenty seven year old Hollywood starlet near the top
(04:08):
of her game being out and out Republican, I think
is significant culturally. We'll get into that. But in the meantime,
and this is actually very significant, I think, and we
talked about this a little bit last week. There is
a panic setting in inside of the Democrat Party over
the fact that Texas is potentially going to be redistricting
(04:32):
as part of its midterm sort of process. This is
normal in Texas because the legislature I believe, only comes
in like every other year. They do not have a
supremely active legislature, and so they're a little bit behind
on some of these things. And by the way, we'll
also update you on the latest. I know many of
(04:52):
you fired up about that attack in Cincinnati, which has
received a great deal of discussion at Peers guy and
a gal, both innocent of doing basically anything wrong, getting
beaten up in Cincinnati, and the reaction to it. We
talked about that with Bernie Marino last week. But I
want to start with this. Democrats buck are saying that
(05:14):
they are going to flee the state to stop this
redistricting from taking place. This is something that I think
they have done before and it's turned into a controversy
and Greg Abbott, governor of Texas, is having none of it.
He says they will face felony charges if they refuse
to return to the capitol. Here's cut ten.
Speaker 5 (05:34):
So very simply, it would be bribery if any lawmaker
took money to perform or to refuse to perform and
act in the legislature. And the reports are these legislators
have been both. They sought money and they offered money
to skip the vote to leave the legislature to take
(05:56):
a legislative act that would be bribery, and so the
facts will have to come out. But I think based
upon comments made by ledstters themselves, they face a possibility
facing bribery charges, which is a second degree felony in
the state of Texas.
Speaker 3 (06:12):
Okay, I believe the reports are buck that they are
fleeing to Illinois. This is turned into a big deal
not only in Texas, but other states now saying well,
maybe we'll have to readistrict your.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
Thoughts Illinois also known as Midwest California.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
Yeah, I think.
Speaker 3 (06:30):
And by the way, to Illinois, one of the most
of all jerry mandered states in the nation, to flee
to Illinois actually just points out that blue states do
this too.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
This is just childish whining from Democrats on this issue.
There's no argument to be made. It is actually not
possible to raise a good faith argument that Democrats don't
do exactly this, which is jerry mander to their political
liking in states where that is lawful and they have
can So let's not pretend like this is all of us.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
It would be like saying, oh my gosh.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
Do you see all these all these people the president
is appointing who agree with the president on policy? Yeah,
that's the point. It's our turn now we're in charge
in Texas. Deal with it, Libs. But instead they try
to raise really alynskiite sabotage in the system that they
try to find ways to pretend like they're in the
(07:27):
bathroom the whole time, so they can't actually let the
business of the state House go forward, or in this case,
they're fleeing the state entirely. I'll also point this out
Clay Governor Abbitt when he says that people are accepting
money to do a thing in the legislature, that.
Speaker 1 (07:42):
Sounds like bribery.
Speaker 2 (07:43):
You know, this isn't This isn't like someone explaining a
complicated Rico case. And no, no, no. If someone's giving
you money and you're doing something or not doing something
in the legislature because of it, that is pretty much
textbook bribery. So if that is now he says, we
have to see and look at the facts. But I
don't think he would raise that unless there's some reason
(08:04):
to believe that this is what has been going on
with some Democrats in that state. I think that they
maybe have forgotten themselves and forgotten statutory definitions a bit here.
Speaker 1 (08:15):
But this is it's absurd.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
So they're going to try to prevent the business of
the state from occurring as representatives of the state by
just calling in sick to work. I mean, I think
imagine if the Republicans, when we had a minority in
the House of the Senate to this, we'd be told
that this is the end of the of the republic as.
Speaker 6 (08:32):
We know it.
Speaker 3 (08:33):
Yeah, and it's just frankly an embarrassment. And so again
I did a lot of deep dive on this because
I'm a little bit of a nerd when it comes
to districting, and effectively this question is just a function
of when you start it.
Speaker 1 (08:49):
And let me explain what I mean by that.
Speaker 3 (08:51):
Everybody does this to your point, and so acting like
what Texas is doing is somehow beyond the pale. What
has got Democrats nervous is, look, there's a three seat
majority right now in the House, and if five Republican
seats in theory were added in Texas, that takes it
to eight. It makes it harder for them to take
(09:11):
back the House, and they don't like Usually the redistrictings
happens at the you know, closer to twenty twenty, the
mid decade redistricting is somewhat rare, not necessarily for Texas here,
So there's actually a little bit of a slant towards
Democrats right now in the House because they did better
(09:32):
in the House than they should have based on how
the national popular vote went. Right in theory, if we
had completely without jerrymanagering a national popular vote and assigned
congressional seats based on that, then Republicans would have done
a better job in the House in twenty twenty four
than they did one a narrow majority of the Republicans
(09:55):
did by three. Because Democrats have successfully jerrymandered so many
different states and now they're fired up about Texas. Let
me also point this out, almost no one.
Speaker 1 (10:06):
Talks about it.
Speaker 3 (10:08):
We screwed up as a country the census, and as
a result, the electoral votes are all screwed up in
favor of Democrats right now, and almost no one will
talk about it in twenty thirty when the new census
is done, and you also then are able to take
into account all of the relocations to red states, Democrats
(10:31):
are in a tremendous amount of trouble in the electoral
college starting in twenty thirty two, because, for instance, Kamala's path,
she would have won the election two seventy to two
sixty eight. If she had won Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin,
that would have narrowly gotten her to the two seventy
majority that she needed to get to. That pathway is
(10:54):
not going to exist because red states are going to
be picking up a lot of additional electors oral votes,
and so you can't win the presidency really without being
able to win some of the South. And so we're
headed for No one is talking about it because it's
like nobody can look more than one year in the
future when it comes to politics. But I think part
(11:17):
of this is a little bit of a panic setting
in on the Democrat side that the population bases of
places like Tennessee, Texas, and Florida are skyrocketing, and they're
taking away the electoral votes of much of the Democrat base.
And so this is kind of an early preview of
a little bit of a panic that's setting in where
(11:39):
you're going to have more seats being reassigned to red
states and fewer in blue states. And again, the other
part of this that gets almost no attention is the
skewing for a legal immigration and that is a big
part of the taking people out of the country that
is hurting overall Democrats. So this I think is a
(12:01):
significant one, not only for what Texas does, but for
the mobilization that's going to be able to occur in
response to Texas. And that is why you are already
hearing people like Corey Booker and Kathy Hokel. Let's play
Kathy Hokel more on New Yorker saying, Hey, maybe we're
going to have to do this too, Cutchwell.
Speaker 7 (12:22):
But Texas and Republican states are doing it. The direction
of Donald Trump, I say, is nothing short of a
legal insurrection against our capital. Legal meaning they're using the
legal process, does not mean it's legal, and it must
be stuffed. The Republicans are willing to rewrite these rules
to give themselves an advantage, then they're leaving us no choice.
We must do the same. For the phrase you have
(12:44):
to fight fire with fire, that is a true statement
of how we're feeling right now. And as I've said,
another overused but applicable phrase, all's fair in love and war.
That's why I'm exploring with our leaders every option to
redraw our state congressional lines as soon as possible.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
What a more he is?
Speaker 2 (13:01):
Buck, Well, it's but it's a widespread thing among Democrats now, right,
She's not the only one, you know what, Clay, Let's
have some fun with this. Corey Booker another prominent in
this case New Jersey Democrats having too much fun trashing
these Northeastern lives today. But here is Corey Booker of
New Jersey on the mid terms and jerrymandering.
Speaker 1 (13:22):
Play eleven.
Speaker 6 (13:22):
I'm sick of the jerrymandering. But if Donald Trump is
going to push to jerry nander Texas, he's going to
break the rules in order to win. He can't win
by the rules they are right now, so he thinks
you should break the rules for Democrats to sit back
and just say, Okay, we're going to play by the
queen's rules. No, I'm telling you right now, we need
to win in the mid term. We need to stop
him from cheating, from lying, and from stealing the election.
And if they're doing something to add their congressional seats,
(13:45):
we need to look at our ways of doing that
right now.
Speaker 2 (13:48):
Can I just tell you, Clay, if anyone's fun maybe
she put this up on clayanbuck dot com. Take a
look at Illinois congressional districts. Everybody a state where unfortunately,
you know, I've been to Springfield, Illinois years ago to
give a speech. There's actually a fair amount of Republicans
in that area. Like the rest of Illinois, like a
lot of blue states, is actually quite sane and quite
beautiful in its politics and in its countryside. It's Chicago
(14:10):
that makes the whole thing just a Democrat Democrat uniparty.
And when you look at the congressional map, it is absurd.
I mean, you've got the congressional map, It's like this
little sliver here and there.
Speaker 1 (14:24):
They have gone to.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
Extreme lengths to maintain the maximum number of congressional seats
for themselves in that state. And Corey Booker and Kathy
Hochel are a senator and a governor, respectively. Of the
Democrats acting like, Hey, if you guys don't stop what
you're doing, we're gonna do the thing that we've ruthlessly
been doing all along. What kind of a threat is that?
(14:46):
It's like them threatening to be a bunch of emotionally
unstable weirdos.
Speaker 1 (14:50):
They're already there.
Speaker 3 (14:51):
Yeah, let me give you an example, because to your point, Buck,
Illinois was about a ten and a half point different
in the election, fifty four to forty three. So Illinois
was closer percentage wise than Texas was, certainly than Florida was.
They used to be toss up states too, so and
they basically have written out almost all Democrats have taken
(15:16):
over almost all of the congressional seats, even though to
your point, you're talking about a forty four percent of
the vote going this past year to Trump inside of Illinois. Yeah,
to your point as well, it's the Midwest version of
New York and California. Because of Chicago size, they have
(15:38):
been able basically to take over the entire state and
make it a only one in the Midwest that is
somewhat of a monster reliable blue state turnout. So point
on all this is there is much drama to come,
but it is starting in Texas and we will see
what happens with when the Democrat legislators the state legislature
(16:01):
are going to be forced to come back, and we'll
follow this. And we have reached out as well, by
the way, to the governor of Texas who's been on
the show quite a lot, Greg Abbott, to see what
the latest is there and he has an open invite
to come on the program also. But I want to
tell you right now if you ever had any doubt
about the kind of evil permeating within Hamas on full
(16:24):
display over the weekend when they released video of surviving
Israeli hostages, including one that they may dig his own grave.
They've been in control of Hamas for nearly two years,
and the reason Hamas took those hostages was to try
to retain political power, and that is what they are
still attempting to do, even as so many people in
(16:45):
Gaza struggle. If you want to make a donation right
now to help everyone in Israel, the International Fellowship of
Christians and Jews helps provide food distribution, critical first aid
and emergency supplies. Your gift today will also help place
new bomb shelters all over Israel, along when necessary, supplies
(17:06):
for the existing bomb shelters. Now's the time to help
Israel's innocent and most vulnerable. You can call eight eight

Speaker 1 (17:39):
A lot of.
Speaker 3 (17:41):
Reactions pouring into the Texas attempt to redistribute, reallocate, redistrict
a bunch of different states and the congressional districts so
that Republicans would gain five seats. And a lot of
you from all over the country are weighing in with
(18:03):
a variety of different perspectives, and I'm going to read
several of them. One of you listening in New Mexico
writes in and I want to make sure that I
get this, but I'm looking as I was talking to you,
I was looking up what the twenty twenty four New
Mexico presidential election results looked like. And Kamala Harris won
(18:24):
New Mexico by about five points. Trump got forty six
percent of the vote, Kamala Harris got fifty one or
fifty two percent of the vote, so five to six points.
Speaker 1 (18:36):
In other words, pretty close as states go.
Speaker 3 (18:39):
Virginia was very close, New Mexico was very close, New
Jersey was very close. Minnesota very close. If you are
on the Republican side, looking towards additional states that could
have flipped. But for you know, two and a half
or three percent of voters changing their minds, the outcome
of that race could have been completely flipped. And the
(19:04):
reactions pouring in and this is a good one. This
is from Kevin. I live in New Mexico. I just
told you it was a state five five and a
half points that Trump lost. A couple of years ago,
the Democrat leader of the state legislature publicly stated he
would redraw the lines in New Mexico so no Republican
(19:24):
would ever win again, and he did just that. Most
of southern New Mexico is conservative. We've always been able
to elect Republicans in the southern district. The redrawn lines
put large portions of more liberal areas in the north,
Albuquerque and Santa Fe into the southern district. As a result,
Southern New Mexico has no representation. Don't let the Democrats
(19:47):
act like this is something new and they've never done
it before. They can't handle not being in power. New
Mexico is a great example, I believe again. And there
are a lot of different states and a lot of
different res districtings to be on top of but I
believe just in the last few years, New Mexico said, hey,
we are going to effectively eliminate the Republican Party, and
(20:10):
Democrats have all of the congressional seats. I want to
look up what the math is in Illinois because it's
among the most egregious as we were talking about earlier.
But this is a good question too from Britt who
writes in I don't know enough to fully understand the
redistricting fight in Texas. I'm all for it if it
(20:30):
helps keep Texas red. How does the influx of illegal
immigrants being counted in the census play into the numbers?
Speaker 1 (20:38):
Thanks?
Speaker 3 (20:39):
This is a huge story that no one talks about.
They aren't ostensibly allowed to vote, but illegal immigrants are
counted for congressional districts for purposes of the overall population
in a district, and I think roughly seven hundred thousand
change is the average number of people in each congressional district,
(21:03):
and illegal immigrants are counted there. And depending on which
study you look at, Republicans are losing and Democrats are
gaining ten or more seats based on illegal immigrants being
counted for purposes of a redistricting that seems to me
like it shouldn't be allowed and it seems like something
(21:25):
that should be addressed. And again I didn't know this
until a few years ago was even going on. I
feel like huge percentages of people don't know it still exists.
It's helping to preserve districts that otherwise would be flipped
for actual citizens, and it's actually an incentive for why
illegal immigration does benefit the Democrat party when it comes
(21:47):
to political power allocation.
Speaker 2 (21:51):
Just looking at the strategy here what they've got going on.
Legislators may have committed felonies. We talked about that if
they solicit funds to have made the fines that exist
under House rules. So Texas Democrats face a five hundred
dollars a day fine. Republican controlled legislature approve this punishment
in twenty twenty three when Democrats left for three weeks
(22:14):
to try to block another bill on election integrity, and
Abbott has said in his statement play I will use
my full extradition authority to demand the return to Texas
of any potential out of state felons. Texas State House
Democrat Caucus said, come and take it. So they're you know,
(22:34):
they're creating a show down. I get it, it's politics
and everything else. But the reality here is Democrats are
acting like children because they're not getting their way, and
that's there's there's no what is the good faith explanation
they have for we are we're supposed to be representatives,
we're supposed to show up when there's a session called.
(22:55):
We're just not going to show up to do our job,
so that you can't actually function as the State of
Texas elected officials. So I think that this is pretty
clear what's going on to anyone who's paying attention. But
that's really what this goes to, Clay. They're hoping that
a lot of people just want to hear Republicans are bad.
(23:16):
They don't ever get beyond that. If you turn on MSNBC.
I might have even had Morning Joe on a little
bit this morning. You turn on MSNBC, it's just Republicans
are bad. The argument doesn't matter. And so you have
the same thing with jerrymandering, where it's they're evil. They're
doing the thing that we do all the time, exactly
the same or worse. It doesn't matter, right, They just
want to hear what they want to hear. So I
(23:37):
think whatever tools Texas Republicans have it on at hand
to get the quorum, they should absolutely use and they
should put on the political brass knuckles for this one.
Speaker 1 (23:49):
It's time.
Speaker 3 (23:50):
Illinois fourteen Democrats, three Republicans, and I just told you
that Republicans got almost forty five percent of the overall
presidential vote in the state. So fourteen to three in
Illinois is among the most egregious of all of the
(24:13):
redrawn states. We just mentioned New Mexico, which forty six
percent of people voted Republican in that state, not one
single congressional representative. And by the way, I would think
as you look towards twenty twenty eight that New Mexico
is one of the states that Republicans would say it
may well be moving towards us, because Nevada and Arizona
(24:36):
were both very successful twenty twenty four cycles.
Speaker 2 (24:40):
Well, also, what tools are at their disposal, Just to
clarify that, Governor Abbott has said that this is a
quote abandonment or forfeiture of an elected state office, and
so they don't show up. The Texas Age says that
they can take steps to quote remove the missing Democrats
from membership in the Texas House. Now maybe that goes
(25:03):
into the courts, but let's be very clear about this.
If they're able to do this, I mean, just just
work on this logically. Like I'm not going to pretend
that I'm an expert in the Texas State Constitution, right,
and I'm sure it's a robust and very interesting document. Uh,
but if you just look at this logically, Clay, then
anybody who's in the minority party could completely block all
(25:25):
business in the in the Texas or in the state
legislature that they don't like by refusing to show up
for work.
Speaker 1 (25:31):
That's it. I mean, think about what a what a
you know, veto that is on the business of the state.
Speaker 2 (25:39):
You can just say, oh, until we have a majority
in this state, we are just going to stay home
from work and prevent the other people who want to
show up from doing the people's business.
Speaker 1 (25:48):
That's insane. Well, and of course that's insane.
Speaker 3 (25:51):
Not only that, how about the decision to flee to Illinois,
which is I think probably the most jerry mandered state
in the entire country. Texas Democrats will still have a
much higher percentage of seats in the state of Texas
than Republicans.
Speaker 1 (26:11):
Do in Illinois.
Speaker 3 (26:13):
So I just I don't understand sometimes how moronic the
calculus is. And it's not always on the Democrat side,
also on the Republican side sometimes this happens. But if
you were just calling up for advice and you said, hey,
we're going to leave the state and refuse to do
our job, I would say, well, I think that's a
bad look.
Speaker 1 (26:32):
Point one. And then in point two, if you were saying,
and we're going to flee and we're going.
Speaker 3 (26:37):
To go to Illinois, I would say, well, have you
looked at the map of Illinois? Because you're actually arguing
against a jerrymander by fleeing to the most egregious jerrymandered
state in the entire country.
Speaker 2 (26:49):
But you are getting several layers deep into this analysis,
and they are assuming they're Democrats, they assume their voters
don't know anything to begin with, not going to understand
or care to understand what's going on here. Right, You're
you're approaching this like if you were sitting across from
somebody who's a you know, a Democrat political strategist, and
(27:11):
we're having this argument or you're having this debate, right,
which it's important for all of you to hear this,
But what Clay is doing doesn't even I don't think
this the Democrats believe that's even relevant. You know, the
argument is irrelevant. It's the emotion, it's the feeling. It's yeah, resist,
But even if you're there.
Speaker 3 (27:28):
Even if you're a moron and you're like, hey, first
of all, to start now and act like when every
state has basically jerrymandered for the whole decade that is
either red or blue, to act now as if oh
my goodness, I can't believe Texas. I love to, you know,
grab your pearls and fall on your fainting couch here
is ridiculous. But if you're going to protest, I would
(27:51):
just suggest going to a blue state that is one
of the least jerrymandered states and trying to argue, hey,
this is the way that real politicians do it.
Speaker 1 (28:03):
JB. JB.
Speaker 2 (28:04):
Pritzker, the trust fund billionaires, said he's providing them with
office space and he's hooking them up right, I mean,
he's got them covered.
Speaker 1 (28:11):
And also he is get.
Speaker 3 (28:12):
That hard to do that in Minnesota, or to do that.
I mean, I'm just saying, even by moron status, to.
Speaker 2 (28:19):
Go, you got to drop. You got to drop the
IQ fifteen points here, Clay. You got to stop thinking,
you know, you got to start thinking about this, like
the uh, the average MSNBC viewer who's just like e.
Speaker 1 (28:30):
Republicans are bad. I don't like them, you know, that's it.
What they're doing. Jerry Mandering is racist. How is jerry
What does it even mean? It's just about getting votes
for your song. It's racist, I mean anything. This is
actually interesting.
Speaker 3 (28:44):
Do you know why, calif why Texas is able to
change the congressional districts as they are Hispanic support.
Speaker 2 (28:52):
Yes, the the Hispanic support for racist Yeah. And and
by the way, the biggest wings when it comes to
congressional districts of Hispanic support towards the Republicans are in
the areas most directly affected by the open border, free
for all policies of the Biden administration, meaning border adjacent.
(29:12):
They've had people literally running through their backyards for years
and they've had enough. They actually don't like that, And
I understand why.
Speaker 1 (29:21):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (29:21):
I just think it's super fascinating because the reason this
map is able to be written and expanded as it
is is because Democrats have hemorrhaged Hispanic support and as
a result, Republicans can now draw majority Hispanic districts which
are going to elect Republicans, which, by the way, you
(29:41):
talked earlier about Trump being right. They said that Trump
would make Hispanics forever not willing to vote for Republicans. Instead,
he almost won Hispanics in twenty twenty four according to
nationwide AP vote cast.
Speaker 1 (30:00):
This is hugely the historic advantage. This is a huge reason.
Speaker 2 (30:03):
Why the pendulum has swung so clearly on the issue
of deportations and immigration enforcement.
Speaker 1 (30:09):
It used to be, oh, you're racist, you want a
secure border.
Speaker 2 (30:12):
Really, the the sixty percent of Latinos who want a
secure border because they're Latino Americans who are legally here
they're racist against Latinos, is that what we're going for
doesn't work.
Speaker 1 (30:25):
That's not that doesn't fly the way that it used to.
Speaker 2 (30:28):
All Right, if your cell phone service is with Verizon
AT and T or T Mobile, you're overpaying for wireless.
You're paying retail stores that you're never going to go
into that you don't need. You're paying for high end
sponsorship deal, stadium rights and naming all that stuff. You
don't need any of that, and you also maybe think
you're getting superior five G service, but you're not. Puretalk
uses the same five G network on the same five
(30:50):
G towers as those other companies. Only difference they don't
charge you for any of the extras that you simply
don't need. Instead, Puretalk gives you unlimited talk, text, and
plenty of data for just twenty five dollars a month.
That's less than half the price of the other companies
during a time when saving a dollar really matters. Clay
and I are both Puretalk customers. He's got his boys
with pure Talk phones. I've got a pure Talk phone.
(31:12):
It's so easy to switch. You keep your phone in
your number. If you want from your cell phone, dial
pound two fifty, say Clay and Buck. You'll save an
additional fifty percent off your first month. You can switch
over to pure Talk in just about ten minutes. Dial
pound two five zero say Clay and Buck. Switch to
pure Talk Wireless. Buy Americans for Americans.

Speaker 1 (31:41):
Sydney Sweeney.
Speaker 2 (31:44):
It's getting a lot of attention, a lot of attention
and not just from the avid readers and fans of
OutKick World and other places, but from the President himself.
Sydney Sweeney is a cultural and American phenomenon in this moment.
(32:04):
You some of you, I think the guys and a
lot of ladies. But the guys.
Speaker 1 (32:09):
Listening are familiar, familiar with her work.
Speaker 2 (32:14):
You could say she is on billboards. She has been
in some TV shows and movies. I haven't really seen
anything she's in other than what is that called White Lotus.
Speaker 1 (32:26):
That's the only thing I think.
Speaker 3 (32:27):
You can't see anyone but you or whatever that show
was called with Glenn Powell.
Speaker 2 (32:32):
That was not an awful romantic comedy. I did not
see it, but perhaps I shall now because we learned
some very interesting things about miss Sweeney over the course
of the weekend. They have done a deep dive into
or of course, they're trying to find out as much
as they can in the hopes of trying to trash
her brand now because being blonde, blue eyed and having
(32:53):
a buxom figure is something that the left wing democrats.
I saw somebody, I think it was Clay in the
maybe it was the Free Press, some analysis. Somebody wrote
about how it wokeness wasn't about expanding the concept of
beauty beyond a very specific either background or you know, ethnicity,
(33:14):
archetype or whatever. It was actually about making beauty not
a thing. You were not allowed to celebrate beauty, Like
I said, because for all time, guys, one of the
areas where there's actually a tremendous amount of inclusivity is
men like beautiful women of all backgrounds, ethnicities, all. You know,
(33:34):
that is a common, overwhelmingly thing around the way. I
have argued for a long time, and I think it's
actually I think it take it as a positive. I
don't think most men see race. I think they see
hot or not. I think most heterosexual men by and
(33:54):
large are attracted to women of all different backgrounds biologically
kind of makes some sense, right, But I think most
men white, Black, Asian, Hispanic. Doesn't mean you might not
have a preference. People might like blondes, they might like
tall girls. You know, there's all sorts of specifics. But
but you know, in her in her heyday, I mean
(34:15):
you could find any number.
Speaker 1 (34:16):
You know.
Speaker 2 (34:17):
Some people are big Samahayak fans, some people are big
Tyra Banks fans. Some but there's a general understanding that
these are these are physically beautiful and gifted females.
Speaker 3 (34:29):
And by the way, this is also important and uh,
because they tried to say, hey, men are just being
culturally told. You remember this argument, You're just being culturally
told by Western civilization what you should find detractive, and
this is something that you're being propagandized with. And then
(34:49):
they actually studied men all around the world, and they
found out men all around the world basically like the
same things. And to a large extent, defending men here
to a large extent, it is a function of biology.
That is young, healthy women, blonde haired women. For instance,
our glass figure. Now we get scientists, clay, we get
(35:12):
finance clay. Now we have scientists clay. Look, I am
fascinated by evolutionary biology because by and large biology doesn't fail.
The reason why men are attracted to our glass figures,
this is one hundred percent true, is because women with
our glass figures historically are more likely to have successful
(35:33):
childbirth wide hips.
Speaker 1 (35:35):
Like that.
Speaker 2 (35:36):
All of this is one hundred percent true. Okay, I
think you could probably think for breastfeeding purposes, larger breast
babies tended healthy women tended to be able to handle
breastfeeding and handle women have handled childbirth better. All of
this is biology. All of this is basic biology. Everybody
(35:56):
wants to act like, oh, this is just something that
you've been for that they but that's the essential point convinced,
is that is that the woke female ad thing, the
changes that were being made, it wasn't. Let's expand so
that there are more because there have been you know,
McLay and I grew up in the era a lot
(36:18):
of you know what I'm talking about, grew up in
the air of the Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue. There have
been ladies of all different hair colors, ladies of all
different skin colors, that this has been the deal for
a very long time. There's nothing new with any of that,
but there are certain biological realities that they tended to share.
I don't have to get into, you know, it's a
family show. I don't have to get into too much
of the specifics here. For the young ones who are listening,
(36:39):
you know, we all we all know what I'm talking about.
Speaker 1 (36:40):
Or for the.
Speaker 2 (36:41):
Younger generation, you know, they're aware of this as well.
But Clay, there was an effort to make beauty a
thing that we no longer were allowed to celebrate and appreciate.
That's really what the left of the Democrats were doing.
And and I think anybody who's been paying attention to
it has seen that this is a moment where it
is exposed. Now there's a there's an anti white agenda
(37:03):
that is at work with the Sydney Sweeney controversy, such
as it shouldn't be a controversy, but they've made it one.
And then there's also the anti general beauty agenda. Trump
spoke out on this, so now the President's involved everybody.
Speaker 1 (37:17):
That's why it's news.
Speaker 2 (37:17):
We're not just two guys sitting here talking about a
lady who has a nice, nice appearance. Trump spoke play
cut two here about her American Eagle.
Speaker 1 (37:26):
Adblican who was She's a registered Republican. Oh now, I
love her head? Is that right?
Speaker 4 (37:40):
As Sidney Sweeney, you'd be surprised at how many people
are Republicans.
Speaker 1 (37:45):
That's what I wouldn't have known. But I'm glad you
told me that.
Speaker 5 (37:49):
If Sydney Sweeney is a registered Republican, I think her
head is fantastic.
Speaker 2 (37:56):
Really, there you go, blessed from the top from Trump himself,
and I would just say, Clay, there's also video. You know,
it's funny. I was at the gun range this weekend.
Not as exciting for the guys listening as Sidney Sweeney
was also at the gun range at some point, and
there's video of it. She's at the Terror I believe
that the Tarran Tactical Range out in California, which is
where Keanu Reeves trains for the John Wick movies.
Speaker 1 (38:18):
Pretty well known.
Speaker 2 (38:19):
Taron himself is a well known guy in the gun world,
and she's moving around hitting steel with a pistol, doing
a nice job. So, Clay, we found out that Sydney
Sweeney attacked by the left, hated for being attractive, Republican,
registered Republican in Florida, and likes guns, or at least's
willing to go shooting and have video of herself taken.
(38:41):
The lefts the heads are exploding all over the place.
She's leaning into this, which is exactly the right move.
Speaker 1 (38:46):
I love her balls.
Speaker 3 (38:47):
I said balls figuratively speaking, because there's several things about this.
First of all, she's twenty seven years old. She has
as her primary residence the state of Florida. She bought
a beach compound style of state. I remember reading about
it when she bought it, and she went and registered
(39:08):
to vote. And when she registered to vote in Florida,
she registered as a Republican. And some people out there
are going to say, well, whoop do do big deal?
Let me ask you this. Can you name I started
off the show talking about this a little bit because
I said we were going to get into this. Can
you name a prominent twenty something in Hollywood that has
(39:30):
come out unabashedly as a Republican?
Speaker 1 (39:33):
And let me just say, she didn't have to.
Speaker 3 (39:35):
This is what you should want someone who's in her
twenties or his twenties to do. You move to a
new state, you actually care enough about how the nation
is going that you go and register to vote in
your new state. And as a part of the state
of Florida, evidently there's party registration. Some states don't have this,
(39:57):
some states do, and you in order probably vote in
a primary. You would know this better than me, because
I'm not a Floridian. You can, I think, register as
a Republican, Democrat, are independent. There is party registration. In
other words, where I live in Tennessee, we do not
have party registration so you can walk in on primary
day and just say, hey, I want to vote in
(40:20):
the Democrat side or the Republican side. And in fact,
sometimes people go and sometimes, as Rush has said with
Project Chaos, sometimes people will vote in the opposite side
because they know who their nominee is going to be.
But I give her immense credit because she's smart. She
had to know that at some point in time somebody
(40:40):
could look up her voter registration file. Easy thing to do,
Buck is just say I'm not going to register. I'm
an actress, I'm in Hollywood. It doesn't benefit me for
people to know that I might be voting Trump, but
instead or DeSantis for that matter. Instead, she went and
she registered as a Republican. And I just think it's fabulous.
(41:01):
I love I think this is an important message and
for those of you out there so I don't care
about what look. Having people in their twenties who are
being outspoken in any way about being Republicans, I think
is important in the culture because I think it starts
to create more space for others to also say, hey,
we don't have to agree on everything, and by the way,
(41:23):
I'm a Republican. In what is a monolithic in many
ways public Hollywood arena.
Speaker 2 (41:28):
I also think that democrats have realized that the position
that was the position that wokeness was taking on this
issue of female beauty was both untenable, or rather was untenable, unpopular,
and also dishonest.
Speaker 1 (41:47):
I used to see this, and you've seen this too clear.
Speaker 2 (41:49):
You would have women who would who themselves were very
you know, physically esthetically pleasing, who will go around preaching
about how oh you know, body like the body positivity movement. Yeah,
you know, there wasn't that much of.
Speaker 1 (42:07):
This, but you see a little bit of this.
Speaker 2 (42:08):
There's a hypocrisy involved in this because on the one hand,
you have people that are telling you, oh, you know,
you know, beautiful at any size and these things that
started to be said. On the other hand, the second
that they want to get a role or they you know,
they're trying to get in the best shape possible and
they're trying to be as competitive in the dating and
the mating market as possible. It's like women who tell
(42:30):
other women this is always that, this is always the thing.
And you know what I'm going to say, Women who
think that their their fellow ladies are their friend and
they're like, yeah, all that long hair that you have
that your husband or you know your husband loves just
or your boyfriend, just chop it all off.
Speaker 6 (42:46):
Just.
Speaker 2 (42:46):
They've actually done studies of this and this behavior they
believe is psychologically driven by female competitive competitiveness over dating
and mating. That's if they if a woman views you
as also attractive for reason, maybe it's subconscious, she's gonna
tell you, oh yeah, chop off all your hair. Because
men never approve of this behavior. They're never like, you
(43:08):
know what, chop all your hair off, go with the
go with the like marine crew cut, look for me, please.
That's not actually appealing to men. And the same thing
was true a body positivity built on a lot a
lot of people lying about this, a lot of people saying,
oh yeah, you know, I think that people are beautiful.
It's like really, because now you're taking ozepic and you've
lost fifty pounds and you were pretending before, right, you know,
(43:31):
these these influencers and these people you'll see clay people
online who will freak out on anybody who says men
men or women who say that calories in calories out matters,
like this is just a delusion. I yes, and I
think it's all connected to trying to take away beauty. Yeah,
(43:52):
and this is big picture, but I mean, I think
you can look at the way that communist structures are
often built, the modern style of architecture.
Speaker 1 (44:03):
It's ugly, right.
Speaker 3 (44:04):
If you walk around and you see classical architecture, Greek
Roman designs beautiful, it's majestic. Very often, it's not I
think you said last week, it's not a surprise that
if you go look at the nudes of ancient Greece
and ancient Rome, the bodies are very attractive, right, And
and I think that that aspirational goal. Look, I went
(44:29):
today for my physical and I had to stand and
you stood on those body measurement devices where they like
register your fatten and I was like lower, lower, you know,
like you want to be in better shape, you want
to be more physically, you know, in shape.
Speaker 1 (44:45):
At the we've tried to make it.
Speaker 2 (44:48):
Everybody should try to be the healthiest, strongest, best version
of themselves. There's a whole other ranch I can go on.
And I know about this because I live in South Florida.
Of all these people that are influencers who are lying
to you and they're all t steroids, including some of
the women, by the way, all taking I mean, they're
all lying to you. That's a whole other conversation. The
reality is everybody should seek, whether you're twenty five or
(45:09):
eighty five, be the healthiest, best, strongest version of yourself.
And that's the goal that everyone the same way, you
want to be the smartest and best, well and most
well read.
Speaker 1 (45:20):
Version of yourself.
Speaker 3 (45:22):
I also think for the Sidney Sweeney angle, bringing it
back home here, I think that we've seen a lot
of young men move into the Republican camp. I think
men have been leading that charge. They're less concerned with
what others say about them. I think a lot of
twenty something women and teenage women are desperately afraid of
what people say about them on social media. So having
(45:44):
someone brave like Sidney Sweeney who was saying, hey, I'm
gonna make the right choices as I see it, I
think there are other young women that will see her
and have a little bit more courage maybe to speak
out than they otherwise would have.
Speaker 2 (45:58):
We also have massive data sets now stretching over many,
many years of what people actually like and what including women,
by the way, when it comes to men what they
find attractive. And all these people who tell you I
don't care and every they're all.
Speaker 1 (46:11):
Lying to you.
Speaker 2 (46:12):
Everybody has things that they find attractive. And that's short men.
Ask bald short men on dating apps. Sorry, I wasn't
going to go any bald short My bald short King's
out there. We're here for you, all right, you know
you you find those guys.
Speaker 3 (46:26):
You know, they have to work way harder because lots
of women are eliminating them. Men like by and large
hour glass figures. They know what they like, pretty faces, right,
But I mean, I think this whole idea that that
we've been sold, which is a bill of goods, like, hey,
be fat men are gonna love you not as much sadly.
Speaker 2 (46:48):
Yes, it's hard to believe. But home invasion happens all
the time. You saw that Sydney Sweeney video. A lot
of you, right, she's moving around well with that pistol.
But some of you either already have firearms in the
home and want to have a non lethal option, or
you're just more comfortable non lethal. And given the amount
of home invasions that happen across the country, given the
realities of having to possibly defend yourself, your family in
(47:09):
your home. I want you to check out the products
that Saber has because if you're looking for non lethal
so you have that force escalation possibility, Saber is simply
the best in the business. They're pepper sprays, pepper gels,

the USA. Non lethal but highly effective. Act Now to
protect yourself and your family, say fifteen percent on Saber's

Speaker 9 (47:50):
Safe Stories are freedom stories of America. Inspirational stories that
you unite us all each day, spend time with and
find them on the free iHeartRadio app or wherever you
get your podcasts.
Speaker 2 (48:06):
We love talkbacks here, we love them, but taking a look,
we're gonna look at that talkbacks are fantastic.
Speaker 1 (48:12):
You know how to do that.
Speaker 2 (48:13):
Go to the iHeartRadio app, the best audio app out there,
iheartradiou and get that's free.
Speaker 1 (48:18):
You download it.
Speaker 2 (48:19):
You go to the Clay Endbuck page, you click subscribe
on the podcast obviously you gotta do that, and then
also you send us by pressing the little microphone a talkback.
Speaker 1 (48:29):
It's fun.
Speaker 2 (48:29):
It's like a throwback to when we all used to
have voice mess voicemail. Remember, I guess people. I feel
like people don't do voicemail really anymore now. In fact,
a lot of people find voicema now, not with talkbacks.
Speaker 1 (48:40):
Those are awesome.
Speaker 2 (48:41):
Send us all the talkbacks you want, But Clay, if
someone leaves a voice message for you, I feel like
I only get voice messages from telemarketers now, or or
people that want you know, they want to buy something
or sell something or whatever. It's always a business transaction.
It's kind of how I feel about old school mail.
Nothing good ever comes from me an old school mail,
except for maybe a wedding invite, and even though it is.
Speaker 1 (49:03):
A lot of the time, I could do without. But
that's another conversation.
Speaker 3 (49:05):
Well, it's also tough because inevitably you'll get a voicemail
and be somewhere where you don't have good reception, and
I'm always like, well, this must be really serious. If
somebody left me a voicemail for it, right, it's the
doctor calling to give you some you know, like I
went today and got my blood work done. It feels
like hospitals doctors maybe call you to give you medical results.
Speaker 1 (49:27):
Otherwise maybe people who just don't text.
Speaker 3 (49:31):
Really, I would say people who are who are senior
citizens more likely than not, because otherwise, just shoot me
a quick text and I'll, you know, be able to
respond as best as best I can.
Speaker 2 (49:44):
Yeah, Texting is generally my preferred method of communication as well.
We have Bill Maher who weighed in, here's a prediction
Clay in twenty twenty six is gonna be on Bill marshown.
I'm gonna think I'm banned.
Speaker 1 (50:01):
I think banned.
Speaker 3 (50:03):
It's owned by the same company as CNN, because I've
never been invited, and I see some of the guests
that they have on there. They go pretty far down
sometimes the food chain of I know, I know a.
Speaker 2 (50:15):
Guy, I know a guy. We're gonna, we're gonna make
this happen. I would love that's what We're gonna get
you unbanned. That would be fun. We're gonna get you
unbanned because I think you're right. I think the corporate
policy there probably crosses over. We're gonna get you unbanned
and make this happen. But anyway, Bill Maher spoke out
on the Sydney Sweeney thing, and look, I think Bill
has some penance to do because he was part of
(50:36):
the woke mob for a while. I've not forgotten this,
but he if we're going to keep the door, Look
you got Tolci Gabbard ran for president as a Democrat
and now she's Trump's d and I and she's doing
a great job.
Speaker 1 (50:45):
You gotta leave room for for penance and for a conversion. Right.
Speaker 2 (50:49):
That's we want converts, we just want them to actually
be converts. Now, Bill Maher is not a convert, to
be clear. He's good on some issues, and he's generally
willing to talk to people even that he disagrees with,
which separates him from most Democrats. And I have respect
for that, and I appreciate the way that he is
reasonable to conservatives like me who come on his show.
(51:10):
That's why I think it'd be worth it for Claty
go on. And like I said, I think we'll make
that happen next year. But here he is on Sydney
Sweeney Play three.
Speaker 10 (51:16):
She talks about the fact that she has blue eyes,
and then she says, I have great jeans, you know,
because she's wearing jeans. But according to the woke people,
this means that she's a white supremacist. It also doesn't
help that her brass eye is thirty six KKK. I
will say this, they should have been aware when they
wrote this ad that this is what some people were
(51:38):
going to think. I don't think they did it on purpose.
But also I think it's pretty funny that all the
online social justice girls are like, it's racist, there's no
such thing as good jeans, right, and then you go
on Tender and swipe left on every bold guy.
Speaker 2 (51:54):
Can I just say, first of all, the swipe at
our friend Jesse Kelly was unnecessary and hurtful, Okay, unnecess
the area, it hurtful, And second of all, I think
Clay that that's exactly the point here is that everybody,
everybody knows that the the whiny voices online that are
saying things like, oh, like, you know, no one no
(52:14):
one even cares about beautiful women, or this won't sell,
or this is racist, no one actually believes that, really,
unless you're completely brainwashed and living in another another reality
and alternate reality.
Speaker 3 (52:25):
I just also think that everybody talks about genes all
the time, ge n e s and not in a
hit larian eugenics fashion, but just in hey, look at
your kids. Oh you got grandpa's eye color, Oh you
got you know grandma's you know, curly hair. I mean,
(52:49):
this is something that every single family, white, Black, Asian
and Hispanic sits around and talks about all the time.
So trying to make the callback to eugenics part of
this buck is just so many people are historically illiterate
that everything has to be analogized to Nazism, right, I mean,
(53:13):
the only thing we can all agree that it is
bad is Nazism. Meanwhile, not that Nazism isn't bad, it
is very bad MAO. Great Famine, forty to sixty million
killed as a function of state policies, Stalin, millions liquidated
in the Purge Cambodia, the highest number of people per
(53:34):
capita killed in any commun I mean, I'm just saying
I would like it if people would know about more
of the horrible things that collectivist ideology has done in
the last one hundred or so years.
Speaker 1 (53:43):
But yes, Nazism very bad.
Speaker 3 (53:45):
And what are the odds that something you don't like
today is actually synonymous with the worst thing that's happened
in one hundred years in the world. Even if you
accept that Nazism is the worst thing that has ever
happen and in the history of humanity, which, by the way,
you could rank a lot of awful things, right again
(54:06):
the historical analogy, as lots of awful things have happened.
But even if you presume, let's just say it, the
Nazis are the worst people that have ever lived in
the history of the world. What are the odds that
somebody having a different opinion than you in America today
is actually reflective of Nazi ideology would be really low, right,
I mean, if you think that Nazism is the worst
(54:28):
thing that's ever happened in the history of the world,
someone in America arguing against you on a political issue
is probably unlikely to mirror Nazi ideology. As we have
said on this program for some time, I don't even
know what white supremacist we talk about white supremeacy You've
never met I've never met one, actually never actually been
in the same proximity with them. Yeah, I And so
(54:50):
we talk about this huge supposedly dangerous ideology that's sweeping
across America. And yet most of you out there listening
right now can't even name a white supremacist.
Speaker 1 (55:02):
And certainly when they go to.
Speaker 3 (55:04):
David Duke, which is when I was a kid, when
David Duke exists, they can even point to someone in
the twenty first century who is a strong political leader
that would even embrace or endorse a sentilla of white supremacy.
And so this whole idea that they would try to
connect Sidney Sweeney to it, I think is just falling
(55:27):
so flat flat, And I think this country actually became
so it actually went so far from what they're when
they talk about white supremacy and racism.
Speaker 2 (55:37):
It went so far in the other direction that it
was considered wrong for you to say, as a white person, hey,
I don't think it's fair that people of certain other
skin colors are going to get into college or get
this job instead of me, who are less qualified by
the numbers that we all use. For these reasons, you
weren't allowed to really say that. Oh, until the Supreme
Court finally came down and said, you know what, this
is wrong. You can't do that anymore, And now the
(55:59):
trump idministration is enforcing that, which is going to take time.
But that's how you want racism in this country. That's
a component of racism that we're still dealing with today,
which is making racial designations or discrimination in favor of
certain groups at the expense of others. That's still racism.
(56:20):
It actually is still racism. People cannot like that, but
it's true.
Speaker 3 (56:24):
Well, I think this also ties in and I would
say this is a positive. The Overton window has expanded,
by which I mean the things that you can actually discuss.
You'll remember this. This was really controversial for me to say,
and people got so mad at me on social media.
During BLM, I said, well, yeah, you know, I don't
want black people to get killed by police. But then
(56:46):
when you go back and look at the stats, seventy
five percent of people shot and killed by police or Asian, Hispanic,
or white, and you weren't allowed to even say that,
and most mostly white. By the way, it was mostly white.
Speaker 2 (56:58):
I think I think r plurality was yeah, like, go ahead,
so you go back, you actually look at the data
and say, okay, if you want to have a conversation
about police use of force, what we should talk about
not just black police use of force, we should talk
about white Asian, Hispanic. That's actually a way to unite
the country. The other part of this was people said.
Speaker 3 (57:15):
Well, we've got to stop all of the people who
are victims of black violence. Then you look at black
violence and you say, well, you realize something like ninety
five percent of all black violence is black people perpetrating
against other black people, right yep. And so when you're
only focusing on white on black violence, you're actually eliminating
(57:35):
ninety five percent or higher of the violence that black
people face. And then you take a step further and
you say, hey, black people are twelve or thirteen percent
of the population, and they actually commit over half of
all murders. The vast majority of the people they murder
are black. If you really want to end murder, which
by the way, I'm in favor of, I wish we
(57:56):
could have a zero murder rate in the country.
Speaker 1 (57:58):
Brave, very brave from anti murder today.
Speaker 3 (58:01):
I hate murder more than anybody in the country. I
am anti murder more than you are. The only way
to address murder is to actually stop the people who
are committing the murders from doing it. And if you
did that, what would that mean? That would mean that
you would need aggressive policing in minority communities where murder
(58:23):
is far more likely and where young black men are
overwhelmingly the victims of other young black men when it
comes to murder. What did they do for BLM Buck?
They said police shouldn't be able to do their jobs
anymore because they're racist.
Speaker 1 (58:35):
What happened?
Speaker 3 (58:37):
Thousands of black kids got killed that would otherwise be
alive today if cops have been able.
Speaker 1 (58:41):
To do their jobs.
Speaker 2 (58:42):
This is because it was lies pile the top lies, pile,
the top lies.
Speaker 1 (58:46):
The whole thing was a lies, lies lives. When people
are lying to you, there's a problem.
Speaker 2 (58:50):
And when they lie to you about police violence against
black people, when they lie to you about black on
black crime, when they lie to you about these things,
you know there's a problem. When they lie to you
about whether or not women are, whether beautiful women are
something that society desires and celebrates in general, there's a problem.
Speaker 1 (59:05):
And President Trump agrees Clay. He just weighed in.
Speaker 2 (59:08):
He just weighed in on truth social on Sidney Sweeney. Oh,
he did even really well, this is going to take
it to the next level. Sidney Sweeney, a registered Republican,
has the hottest ad out there. It's for American Eagle
and the jeans are flying off the shelves. Go get him, Sydney.
On the other side of the ledger, Jaguar did a
stupid and seriously woke advertisement that is a total disaster.
(59:32):
The CEO just resigned and disgrace. The company's an absolute turmoil.
Who wants to buy a Jaguar after looking at that
disgraceful ad? Shouldn't they have learned a lesson from bud Light,
which went woke and essentially destroyed in a short campaign
the company. The market cap destruction has been unprecedented, with
billions of dollars foolishly lost. Look at woke singer Taylor Swift.
Ever since I alerted the world as to what she
(59:52):
was by saying the truth that I can't stand her hate.
Speaker 1 (59:56):
She was booed out of the super Bowl. It became
no longer hot. I'm hoping this is real. By the way,
even if it's fake, it's brilliant.
Speaker 2 (01:00:04):
The tide is seriously turned being woke As for losers,
being Republican is what you want to be.
Speaker 1 (01:00:08):
Thank you for your attention. In this matter.
Speaker 2 (01:00:10):
Again, it could be it could be a fake Trump tweet,
let me check. But even if it's fake, it's capturing
the zeit guy. So there you have it. Let me see.
Speaker 1 (01:00:18):
I'll wait. You know you look at that right now.
Speaker 3 (01:00:20):
We know the comments that we played for you earlier
of him by Air Force one were true.
Speaker 1 (01:00:26):
Trump is so.
Speaker 3 (01:00:28):
Plugged into the culture that many of these things sound
like Trump will say, yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:00:34):
I checked, it's real. Sorry, I'm very excited. Now go ahead.
Speaker 3 (01:00:37):
American Eagle stock, by the way, is up twenty four
percent today alone in the wake of the President's statement,
and also many people wining up to support Sidney Sweeney.
So again, this is going to take it to the
next level. But all of this started because maybe we
(01:01:00):
need to go grab Greg Will you go grab the
Good Morning America clip that we played where they had
the eugenics exp Well, first of all, who makes a
living as a eugenics expert today? Can you imagine what
do you do for a living while I work at
a nonprofit? What do you study eugenics one hundred years ago?
How are you a eugenics expert today? Anyway, we'll play
(01:01:23):
that ad. Sorry, that news story reacting to the ad
when we come back. But Trump has just taken it,
as he often does, to the next level.
Speaker 2 (01:01:34):
Because of you and so many other generous people, Preborn
has rescued over thirty eight thousand unborn babies this year.
These babies most likely would never have been brought into
this world if their mothers have been left to make
the choice that can so often lead to abortion. But
Preborn is on the front lives, saving lives. Vulnerable women
who are pregnant are put in these situations. They're getting
(01:01:56):
pressure from their partner, their boyfriend, there in their family,
