Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome in Monday edition. Kalay and Buck. Oh my goodness,
we're going to have some fun. The fallout in left
wing media of Donald Trump's big win is, let's be honest,
absolutely glorious. I don't even know if Buck saw it,
but it's such a big deal now that athletes everywhere
from the UFC to the NFL to college football are
(00:23):
overwhelmingly breaking out the Trump YMCA dance in celebration. We'll
have some fun with that and what a vibeshift and
cultural change that represents. We will discuss all of that
and more. But first, I woke up this morning and
the number one fan of MSNBC in America is one
(00:44):
Buck Sexton. His favorite show of all on MSNBC is
Morning Joe. So I'm waking up this morning getting the kid,
the youngest, ready for school, and I see that Joe
Scarborough and Mika Brzhinski have come out out and said
that they went and had a meeting with Donald Trump
(01:05):
at mar A Lago on Friday. Now, I was at
mar A Lago on Thursday. Might have seen Sylvester Stallone
Elon Musk kind of an incredible combo to talk to.
I also talked to the president. You wanted to say
thanks to all of you for helping to ensure that
he won election. He was super excited about it, obviously,
(01:25):
and I'm sure we'll talk to him on this program
again in the near future. But it takes a lot
to stun me.
Speaker 2 (01:34):
Buck.
Speaker 1 (01:37):
I know that there is a full fledged panic that
has set in at MSNBC and CNN, and I've asked
and we've talked about this before, Buck, if you had
been wrong, as those networks were on everything related to
COVID kids in schools masking, and then it ran all
the way through with the disaster that was Joe Biden,
(01:58):
including that he was sharp as it and the best
version of himself. And then you told people, hey, Kamala
is running a great campaign, and that joke about Puerto
Rico man. Puerto Ricans aren't going to show up and
vote for Trump, and women are surging to the polls
in record numbers. And then Trump went out and won
the popular vote. I think their audience has turned on
(02:18):
them and they now realize that they've been lied to
about a lot of different stories, and maybe the election
of Trump and winning the popular vote was the straw
that broke the back of the camel that had been
carrying their network ratings. But even me, Buck, and I
bet even you was stunned by this admission this morning
(02:39):
from Morning Joe and I want to dive into it
because I think it's actually super interesting on a cultural
front as well. But first I want to remind you
it was not very long ago at all that Joe
Scarborough was saying that Donald Trump was Hitler. In fact,
I want to play that for all of you. That
(03:00):
is cut, I believe three. This is September of twenty
twenty three. But they continued it for some time. But
Joe Scarborough on his program directly compared Trump to Hitler.
Speaker 3 (03:12):
Listen, and then he says that the news network that
is most critical of him should be taken off the air.
This is not a reach. I could go back and
talk about Nazi Germany and I do it. I do
it without any concerns whatsoever. And if people can't start
drawing the parallels, well you're just stupid or you have
your head in the sand. Are you're one of them? Okay,
(03:35):
you're stupid, you have your head in the sand. If
you don't understand that Trump is like Hitler and this
is like Nazi Germany. Then they started off the program
this way this morning. For those of you who have
not heard it, listen.
Speaker 4 (03:46):
On Friday, we were given the opportunity to do just that.
Joe and I went to mar A Lago to meet
personally with President like Trump. It was the first time
we have seen him in seven years now.
Speaker 5 (04:00):
We talked about a lot of issues, including abortion, mass deportation,
threats of political retribution against political opponents and media outlets.
We talked about that a good bit and it's going
to come as no surprise to anybody who watches this show,
has watched it over the past year or over the
past decade, that we didn't see eye to eye on
(04:21):
a lot of issues, and we told him so.
Speaker 4 (04:24):
What we did agree on was to restart communications.
Speaker 1 (04:28):
Okay, fuck you're I mean, were you? You watched this
show all the time? There will get into the way
that their audience is reacting. But you watch Morning Joe.
What was your reaction when you saw this? As an
avid Morning Joe watcher, I felt betrayed, Clay because I
had been reliably told for months that if Donald Trump
(04:51):
won the election, the entire republic would fall apart. That
he's a fascist, that he is in fact Hitler or
Hitler like. And they had many noted historians, all of
whom probably need to go take a long walk in
a park somewhere and touch grass and see reality. All
these historians saying that Donald Trump was a fascist and
(05:12):
the end of the Republic. And yet here we are
now it's not Hitler. But let's be buddies. I gotta
tell you, I didn't see this coming. I knew they
would have to change the way they were approaching things,
But I don't know what to do now. I feel
like there's no point in watching Morning Joe if they're
not going to be fully insane, if they're not going
to represent that left wing Trump is Hitler ideology. I mean,
(05:35):
I can get boring news from anybody. I mean, they're
not very interesting, They're not very good at this. So
the most interesting thing about Morning Joe was how insane
they were. I would say, on an analysis level of this,
this is the ultimate bend knee moment for the Morning
Joe Show. And I think it's also noteworthy they're not apologizing,
(05:58):
they're not coming clean. They're just kind of hoping they
can change course here and then have the benefit, I guess,
of not being insane and also access to Donald Trump
as President's gonna be president for the next four years.
So this is remarkable. But I remember actually in the
twenty sixteen campaign, Mika and Joe were very friendly, very
(06:18):
chummy with Trump early off. Oh this is kind of
a return to form for them, And it was only
when their Democrat constituency went far left that all of
a sudden they decided that they would go to eleven
on the Trump Hatred dial. If I am their honest audience, like,
I would watch it for the spectacle and the amusement
of how insane they were. And honestly, those of you
(06:40):
who weren't watching in the mornings you missed out. The
three months before the election was incredible. I mean just
every day it was like, oh my gosh, Donald Trump
is handler. It was amazing that they're putting this on TV.
But I think this is the collapse, at least right
now of a faction of the legacy media that you're
seeing happen before you've eyes. I think that they are
(07:01):
in panic at CNN, at MSNBC, at The New York Times,
at the La Times, the Washington Post, I think the
edifices of Democrat journalist power are crumbling right now, and
they're scrambling as a result. This is the fallout that
we've been telling you was going to come. And this
is for those of you out there who haven't thought
(07:22):
about it. This is the significance of winning the popular vote.
Is that all of those organizations that Buck just named
spent basically the last six months telling you Trump was hitler,
and overwhelming majority of Americans said we don't believe that,
and they showed up and they voted for Donald Trump
(07:43):
and the biggest win for a Republican since nineteen eighty eight.
Some of you out there are super young. It's the
biggest win that a Republican presidential candidate has had in
any of your lives. And in twenty sixteen, the response was, Hey,
we're going to go put on our vigil hats and
we're going to go have a women's march and let
Trump know that we're still here. And it was Russia collusion,
(08:07):
and it was oh, he's an accidental president and Hillary
should have visited Wisconsin, and oh, this is James Comey's fault.
I think it was, or whoever the FBI director at
the time was for opening back up that investigation. And
Trump was an accidental president. They felt like he snuck
up on them. And in twenty twenty they managed to
rig the election and they got Joe Biden in and
(08:30):
now boom here Trump is back and he's got the
biggest electoral majority of his entire political career. He won
the popular vote, and fuck MSNBC's audience has vanished, CNN's
audience has vanished, their resistance has crumbled. And we'll get
into this with what you're seeing in popular culture when
it comes to the way that athletes are responding to Trump.
(08:52):
But they're running for the hills. And by the way,
a couple of additional quotes about this. Foxnews dot Com
has a quote from Trump on this, and I want
to make sure that I get his quote right. He says,
I received a call from Joe Scarborough requesting a meeting
for him and Meca, and I agreed it would be
(09:13):
a good thing if such a meeting took place. Trump
said that Mika and Joe congratulated me on running a
great and flawless campaign. This is a quote from Trump
to Fox News Meredith McGraw on the meeting between Trump
and Morning Joe and Mika a great and flawless campaign.
(09:39):
Now Buck, the Morning Joe audience, such as it is,
is revolting. Brian Stelter quotes says loyal Morning Joe viewers
are furious about the Trump meeting. Jeff Jarvis called it
a betrayal of their colleagues, democracy and US All says
(10:03):
some fans are vowing not to watch the show anymore,
and it was a disgusting show of bending the knee.
As you said, Buck, and our good friend Keith Olberman
has totally lost his mind and is now personally even
more and is now directly and personally attacking Joe Scarborough
(10:25):
as quote, why is anybody surprised? Since nineteen ninety eight,
I've said Scarborough was the worst person I've ever encountered
in the business. He proves me right year after year.
Today it has become this is Keith Olberman vs. MSNBC.
(10:45):
For those of you who are not World War two
history officionados. He is accusing Olberman is the MSNBC host,
Scarborough and Mika of being the equivalent of the French
government that welcomed the Nazis when they conquered France during
the Hitler era. I mean, this is not a complience
(11:07):
in many ways, not a compliment in any way. So
here's where it all goes. I think the Democrats do
not have a leader right now. I think that their
party and I know that this will all change, that
this will come full circle. There will be someone who emerges.
There will, but right now they are a party in disarray,
(11:27):
and a part of it is I think there's been
this question for a long time. Does the legacy media
run the Democrat Party or does the Democrat Party run
the legacy media? Right does the political apparatus respond to
the overall you know, corporate and media narrative or you
know which one comes first. The problem they have right
now is the legacy Democrat media apparatus. They said we
(11:52):
are going to lie down on the tracks to stop
the Trump train, and the Trump train just kept on coming.
They threw everything that they had into throwing this election
to Kamala Harris, and it failed miserably. And now their
audiences have to be left thinking to themselves, why would
(12:12):
we listen to any of them at all? You see,
Ann Selz, the Polster, just retired after she got it
wrong by what was sixteen point sixteen points? She just
retired because if you're going to get the only state
that you pull wrong by sixteen points, what would you
say you do here? Is a very valid question, right
(12:34):
So I got to tell you, I think that overwhelmingly
the media is they're in a state of shock. I
was a little surprised when I sat there with my
Crockett coffee this morning to get my day going, and
I see on Morning Joe that they are being all
warm and fuzzy about Trump. I didn't know they'd go
to that extent. But this is Remember the rest of
(12:57):
the of the news cycle on MSNBC, or the the
rest of the content wheel of other hosts and shows,
Clay that the tone is set by Morning Joe over there.
It is their big show. It's bigger than any of
their evening shows. So this is going to affect I
think the coverage they have for the rest of the day,
which means the hashtag resistance is waving a white flag
right now. Let me also ask you this as we
(13:20):
go to break, because I'm curious what your answer would
be and whether it's the same as mine. Do you
think Mika Brazinski and Joe Scarborough went to meet with
Trump without their bosses at MSNBC and or Comcast knowing
that this was happening. Or do you think this might
have been encouraged by their bosses because the overall brand
(13:44):
of MSNBC is tanking, And remember Comcast has got this
network up for sale, and if they're not getting along
with Trump, do you think the Trump DOJ is going
to allow the sale of MSNBC to happen. In other words,
in addition to bending the knee, I think it's a
larger corporate message about the way MSNBC is potentially going
(14:04):
to be covering Trump going forward as well. You know
it's Monday and things are getting busy out there. You
got to have the energy you need to get going
and get after it. And especially as we get older
guys and gals, hormone balance this stuff. The biochemistry that
you have can sometimes not be where you need it

Speaker 2 (15:35):
The world has gone insane.
Speaker 1 (15:37):
We claim your sanity with Clay and Fun. Find them
on the free iHeartRadio app or wherever you get your podcasts.
Welcome back into Clay and Back. We are sitting here
and watching what seems like a transformation in both the
media and in sports. Even I was seeing it, and
I'm not just talking about how everybody was watching a buffering.
(16:01):
I got home Clay and I saw some of the
buffering Friday nights. I knew it was going to be
a monster number buck when I was sitting in my
Best Western in Athens, Georgia hotel room trying to get
it pulled up on the screen, and I'm scrolling through
social media and I see that you also are having
difficulty getting Jake Paul Mike Tyson fight pulled up, and
(16:21):
I was like, this thing's going to be huge. I
did not stay to watch it. I was like, I
think this is a sign that I probably shouldn't see this.
I don't know, kind of quasi elder abuse situation going on.
It seemed quite strange to me. But people loved it,
or a lot of people watch it, and a lot
of money changed hands. I don't know. I guess there's
a lot of nostalgia there. But the dancing, the Trump
(16:43):
dancing thing is we got to I mean, I got
to learn how to do it really well. I think
it's pretty easy, you know, you just got to kind
of lean into it. But the Trump dance all over
sports media. Clay, We'll get into that in a second.
You asked a question before we went to a quick commercial,
and I think it's an an interesting one. Meek and
Joe going to meet with it really is like arriving
(17:04):
in the court of the king, right, it really is
does feel like that. And for them to go and
pay homage to use for a medieval m Yeah, pay
homage to the king after saying he was hitler. I
think that the MSNBC brass said you've got to do this.
I think the top people there, I think they ordered it.
(17:26):
I think they said, you've got like that. The madness
needs to end. We need to go back to being
a more mainstream, sort of center left Democrat entity. We
can't have this craziness. What do you think? Oh man,
we need to talk about this because I think it
actually plays into larger cultural and business trends that are
going on right now. Remember they're trying. Comcast Seams, which
(17:47):
owns MSNBC just seems fed up with it, and I
wonder if this is their attempt to placate Trump so
they can sell the network. We need to talk about this,
and I think there's more implications than just they win.
Why they announced they went to their audience. I think
that's intriguing too. What football game this weekend brought brought
out great performances, a lot of great Trump dancing. We'll
(18:10):
talk about that later in the show. But if you

they tried to give out the picks and it did
not go well. Maybe we can pull that audio. I
(18:32):
need to hear exactly how it went, just because I

(18:59):
Welcome back in Klay, Travis buck Sexton Show. Appreciate all
of you hanging out with us. Okay boy. We're continuing
to discuss how it's like overnight, there's been a light
switch and the culture has changed, and we'll get into
how that's reflecting itself in sports, because it wasn't very
long ago that everybody's taking knees for the national anthem
(19:20):
during NFL games, and now players are scoring touchdowns and
dancing like their Donald Trump to pay to pay tribute
to the new president. That is a major vibe shift.
We'll get into that in a minute. But I do
think there are several details here that are worth examining
in what's going on in the larger media landscape. You
(19:41):
talked about MSNBC, CNN, Washington Post, in New York Times,
LA Times. Let's talk about just a couple of things
that have gone on there recently. Washington Post under Jeff Bezos,
says we're not going to do editorials anymore, and they
also announced that everybody has to show back up and
inside of the office five days a week. That's basically
(20:03):
Jeff Bezos, who's got a hot girlfriend and now lives
in Miami and is super ripped, being like, Hey, I'm
tired of disappearing and letting the inmates run the proverbial
newspaper asylum. Owner of the La Times, Buck went on
Fox News and said, we need way more diversity of
(20:23):
opinion inside of our newspaper. He also decided that they
were not going to endorse anymore from the editorial page.
Maybe he and Bezos talked, maybe they didn't. Mark Zuckerberg
came out and said Trump's a badass and we're not
going to be involved in this election at all. There
is now a pretty good relationship, I am told, between
(20:46):
Zuckerberg and Trump as Trump prepares to come into office.
We've seen what happened with Elon and now you have
Mika Brazinski and Joe Scarborough, who I think it's fair
to say Buck would have been expected to be the
leaders of the anti Trump resistance, showing up at mar
A Lago requesting a meeting, bending the knee, according to Trump,
(21:08):
telling him that he ran an excellent campaign. Soon after,
they told all their audience that Biden was sharp as attack,
the best version of himself, and Trump was hitler. If
that's not a major vibe shift, I don't know what is.
And you asked the question, I think it's a good one.
What's behind this? Let me ask you this? Why announced
that you did it? You and I have had a
(21:29):
lot of meetings in the four years that we've been
doing this show with a lot of different political figures
out there. Most of them we don't come on and
tell you, hey, we had a private meeting with Senator
X or Governor Y, because they're private meetings and we
don't think that all of that should immediately be public.
(21:54):
Mika and Joe Buck on Friday went to mar A Lago.
To my knowledge, there was nobody who wrote it it Friday,
Saturday or Sunday. In other words, they got in and
out without it being a news story, and then on
Monday morning they feel compelled to sit down and tell
their audience that they went to go meet with Trump
face to face. Something bigger is in play here. Maybe
(22:17):
it's that Comcast wants MSNBC sold, And I like your
theory that the boss has told them, hey, we can't
continue like this. You're gonna go meet with them face
to face, and they did it. I can't imagine buck
they did this without the knowledge of their bosses at
MSNBC and Comcast. To me, this is a bigger message.
(22:38):
I think you're right basically from MSNBC letting it be known. Hey,
it's going to be a different era now that you
won the popular vote and you're coming in. We're not
going to try and tell everybody for four years your hitler.
It's just not sustainable because it's also I think less
and less interesting to the audience. Because now if you
(23:00):
really believe that anyone at MSNBC thinks Donald Trump is
a fascist or hitler and the country is going to end,
you're truly a moron. They do not believe this. It
is obvious they don't believe it. Maybe you could have
told yourself that they did also clay all these historians
when you think about all the people that they brought
into this mess of insanity and the credibility destruction that
(23:24):
has occurred here as a result of it, And I
think you just have so many people who very clearly
are not going to be able to go forward and
get the same level of kind of credentialed applause if
you will, Oh, this person's a you know, they wrote
this book or they run this foundation, and I should
listen to them. It's like, weren't you the one who
(23:46):
was telling us that Donald Trump was Hitler and the
country was going to end? And it's going to be
harder and harder for them too as they come into office.
And I think people realize I'm not going to say
it's business as usual, because I think it won't be
business as you which we haven't really talked about. There's
some very interesting things percolating here for the agenda. But
I do think that I think that Donald Trump brokes CNN,
(24:09):
n MSNBC. I think that he effectively, you know, waged
a form of information warfare against them, or maybe you know,
a counter counter insurgency against them, and they are never
going to be the same because they have no credibility
to protect anymore and their own side. Now, maybe they
will rally around the deportations issue. I think that's where
(24:32):
you might see the left, that's the hill that they're
going to start fighting on That's where they're going to
try to gather the resistance. But in the meantime they've
been left toothless, and so I don't know. I don't
know what they're going to do. I don't even know
who they think their most who's the most effective spokesperson
for the Democrat agenda. Right now, I think they're sitting
around looking for someone to emerge. There isn't anybody. And again,
(24:56):
I think the networks themselves are in in an existential
business crisis because the math on MSNBC and CNN doesn't
work if the numbers are as tiny for viewership as
they are and Buck, I've said this before because I've
(25:17):
seen it with my own kids. YouTube is more popular
and powerful now than MSNBC and CNN. Fox News is
continuing to post really big numbers because its audience is
extremely loyal, But CNN and MSNBC, if you told me
right now, hey, you can have the full support of CNN,
(25:39):
MSNBC or YouTube for a show I would want YouTube
like because YouTube, especially over the next few years, is
way more powerful than anything that's going on CNN and
MSNBC and even Twitter. Buck. It now seems like CNN
basically exists for people to clip segments from CNN and
(25:59):
just show heard them on Twitter. Uh as opposed to
make fun of what shows, Yes, and and and that's
the thing. It's fodder now for the digital ecosystem and
shows like this one. Uh, look at it's a it's
a crushing blow to the Democrat media apparatus which just happened.
There's no way around that. There's no version of this
that isn't clearly a big kick in the face for them.
(26:23):
So yeah, from what I see here, Clay, they're going
to have to do a a major I don't know
if it's a reconstruction or reconfiguring, but they can't continue
as is. I also think that the the power of
alternative media has it has now shifted where what we
used to call alternative media really is now the media.
(26:46):
That has happened that the the I know, Fox still
has a very robust audience on the right, and Fox
is the outlier to this. But for the other cable
news networks, you don't need four different versions of Trump
is Hitler. And that's what you've had for with with MSNBC, CNN,
more than four, you know, ABC News, CBS, news. It's
(27:06):
all been the same thing. It's all the same content,
and it's not very interesting. You have to ask the question,
why would you even watch these channels? Now, what's the
point of reading any of the editorials to Washington Post?
They were all wrong, they lied, They're out of touch
with the country, and they just got smoked. So and
they didn't say I hope Donald Trump loses. They said
(27:27):
the country ends if he wins. Well he won, So
now what why am I going to list to somebody
who's calling for the sky falling and then nothing happens, right,
So there's a huge backlash, I think, to that, even
among their own audiences. And then they have to explain
all the dancing clay, all the dancing from the football players.
(27:47):
Very by the way, but we are sitting at seventy
six and a half million votes, This is ridiculous, But
California is still voting. We are going to end up
with Kamala Harris finishing about five or six million less
votes than Joe Biden's eighty one million. It's going to
(28:09):
get more interesting, I think as these final numbers come in.
So Go you mentioned historians, if we had an honest media,
people would go back in and say, Okay, what happened
in twenty twenty? How were democrats able to produce that
many voters for Joe Biden and then Kamala couldn't come
anywhere near producing the same number. Kind of makes you say, right,
(28:34):
things that make you go that we're thinking about. I
want to tell you as we come back, we'll take
some of your calls to By the way, no guests
eight hundred and two A two two eight a two
gonna be some great sales this holiday season, including one
from our friends at Legacy Box, Tennessee based company Chattanooga, Tennessee,
in fact that digitally transfers old media like videotapes, film slides,

Welcome back into Clay and Buck. The good news was

my prize picks picks would be such a hit, but
I will say that our inbox has been full of
commentary on my picks. I told you that I took
a picture of the picks that I gave out on Wednesday.
(31:16):
I was out Thursday and Friday, and my email blew
up with your read of the picks, including this just
came in from Lorenzo Clay. Please please have Buck read
out your picks every week. Funniest thing I heard all week,
George Pickles over was a big hit. Now I have
not heard this, but I had the team. The team,
(31:39):
I really am excited to hear this. First of all,
we did not win, so we did win. But also,
you sent a photo of what you wrote down on
a scratch pad, so I want to understand I really
was reading what I thought he had written. Okay, So
for people who watch on video, I am like. The
one thing that I have retained from Lost is I
(32:00):
basically write everything on a yellow legal pad, So my notes,
if you're watching on video or not, if you've ever
watched me do an out kickshow or anything else, I
basically jot down everything on a yellow legal pad. And
then I want have done with the show. I ripped
the page off, watt it up, throw it away. It's
gone forever. But I do have a picture of my
(32:23):
picture that I thought my writing was actually pretty good.
So I'm gonna text this to Ali. Ali can post
this on the This is my writing. Ali can post
this on the website of the show, so you can
see exactly what Buck was trying to read. I think
(32:43):
it's pretty cool. I think I actually have really good penmanship,
I must say. But Buck does not agree with the
penmanship analysis. You can see whether or not you. In fact,
I'll post it on social so everybody can see it easily.
But here was what it sounded like when Buck was
reading the picks over the weekend. Russell Wilson more than
(33:05):
two hundred and twenty six. I guess that's yards. Sequan, right,
Sequan more than porn five TD rush receiving and then
George Now what, George P. I don't know what this
guy's now, do you, guys, George to say? Pickles? What's
(33:26):
his name? I don't know. He's a football player, George P.
Somebody held me se Quon producer Mark, thank you sake.
Oh George pick Ends, I thought I said Pickles here?
Oh my goodness this How did Sequan? How did Sequan do?
By the way, did he go above? U?
Speaker 2 (33:45):
Over?
Speaker 1 (33:46):
So I haven't even checked all these because I know
we lost on Jalen Hurts got a touchdown. Jaden Daniels
on Thursday night football did not throw over the total,
so we lost that one. I believe we need to
check Saquon, Russell Wilson and George Pickens and see how
those turned out. But once you lose one, it doesn't matter.
(34:07):
So I didn't even check the other three because I
knew we lost with Jayden Daniels. Ali has seen Ali,
can Ali come in? Ali? You have seen the writing.
You do not know football players at all? How would
you assess my penmanship? And when you see Buck trying
to read this?
Speaker 2 (34:26):
Yeah, Clay, I'm totally gonna defend Buck here that that handwriting,
chicken scratch is putting it nicely.
Speaker 1 (34:33):
Clay's handwriting. You threw me in the trench with the grenades,
my friend, with that handwriting, that is not easy. All right,
I'm gonna post it. You guys can all make a
decision about whether or not my handwriting is worthy or not,
or whether Buck Kuan had one hundred and forty six
yards and two touchdowns. I knew we were right to
bet on him. Sequan is an amazing pronunciation, although to
(34:55):
be fair, how many people are actually named Saquon? I mean,
that is probably not a name that very many people
come across. I had read until you wrote that down,
I had never come across no or heard that name.
That is the truth. I did not know this gentleman's name. Yeah,
Saquan had an incredible game, so I think again, I'm
gonna look at these at the total we won on
(35:16):
a lot of these. But again you when I gave
you out five, we were trying to win on a
twenty to one payout there and that would mean so
Russell Wilson went under on his passing yards, so we
did not win that one. And your good friend George Pickle,
George Pickens did go over the receiving yard total, so
we won three out of the five of that. But
(35:39):
you have to go five for five to hit a
twenty for twenty, sorry, a twenty to one payout. But
I would encourage the team to clip buck doing the
read and also my chicken scratch as it's called, and
you guys can all make a decision about whether or
not you believe that he should have been able to
nail it. By the way, I want to thank you guys.
(35:59):

come back, Buck. What you got for is the agenda.
What does Trump have in store for this country? We'll
talk about it.
Welcome in Monday edition. Kalay and Buck. Oh my goodness,
we're going to have some fun. The fallout in left
wing media of Donald Trump's big win is, let's be honest,
absolutely glorious. I don't even know if Buck saw it,
but it's such a big deal now that athletes everywhere
from the UFC to the NFL to college football are
(00:23):
overwhelmingly breaking out the Trump YMCA dance in celebration. We'll
have some fun with that and what a vibeshift and
cultural change that represents. We will discuss all of that
and more. But first, I woke up this morning and
the number one fan of MSNBC in America is one
(00:44):
Buck Sexton. His favorite show of all on MSNBC is
Morning Joe. So I'm waking up this morning getting the kid,
the youngest, ready for school, and I see that Joe
Scarborough and Mika Brzhinski have come out out and said
that they went and had a meeting with Donald Trump
(01:05):
at mar A Lago on Friday. Now, I was at
mar A Lago on Thursday. Might have seen Sylvester Stallone
Elon Musk kind of an incredible combo to talk to.
I also talked to the president. You wanted to say
thanks to all of you for helping to ensure that
he won election. He was super excited about it, obviously,
(01:25):
and I'm sure we'll talk to him on this program
again in the near future. But it takes a lot
to stun me.
Speaker 2 (01:34):
Buck.
Speaker 1 (01:37):
I know that there is a full fledged panic that
has set in at MSNBC and CNN, and I've asked
and we've talked about this before, Buck, if you had
been wrong, as those networks were on everything related to
COVID kids in schools masking, and then it ran all
the way through with the disaster that was Joe Biden,
(01:58):
including that he was sharp as it and the best
version of himself. And then you told people, hey, Kamala
is running a great campaign, and that joke about Puerto
Rico man. Puerto Ricans aren't going to show up and
vote for Trump, and women are surging to the polls
in record numbers. And then Trump went out and won
the popular vote. I think their audience has turned on
(02:18):
them and they now realize that they've been lied to
about a lot of different stories, and maybe the election
of Trump and winning the popular vote was the straw
that broke the back of the camel that had been
carrying their network ratings. But even me, Buck, and I
bet even you was stunned by this admission this morning
(02:39):
from Morning Joe and I want to dive into it
because I think it's actually super interesting on a cultural
front as well. But first I want to remind you
it was not very long ago at all that Joe
Scarborough was saying that Donald Trump was Hitler. In fact,
I want to play that for all of you. That
(03:00):
is cut, I believe three. This is September of twenty
twenty three. But they continued it for some time. But
Joe Scarborough on his program directly compared Trump to Hitler.
Speaker 3 (03:12):
Listen, and then he says that the news network that
is most critical of him should be taken off the air.
This is not a reach. I could go back and
talk about Nazi Germany and I do it. I do
it without any concerns whatsoever. And if people can't start
drawing the parallels, well you're just stupid or you have
your head in the sand. Are you're one of them? Okay,
(03:35):
you're stupid, you have your head in the sand. If
you don't understand that Trump is like Hitler and this
is like Nazi Germany. Then they started off the program
this way this morning. For those of you who have
not heard it, listen.
Speaker 4 (03:46):
On Friday, we were given the opportunity to do just that.
Joe and I went to mar A Lago to meet
personally with President like Trump. It was the first time
we have seen him in seven years now.
Speaker 5 (04:00):
We talked about a lot of issues, including abortion, mass deportation,
threats of political retribution against political opponents and media outlets.
We talked about that a good bit and it's going
to come as no surprise to anybody who watches this show,
has watched it over the past year or over the
past decade, that we didn't see eye to eye on
(04:21):
a lot of issues, and we told him so.
Speaker 4 (04:24):
What we did agree on was to restart communications.
Speaker 1 (04:28):
Okay, fuck you're I mean, were you? You watched this
show all the time? There will get into the way
that their audience is reacting. But you watch Morning Joe.
What was your reaction when you saw this? As an
avid Morning Joe watcher, I felt betrayed, Clay because I
had been reliably told for months that if Donald Trump
(04:51):
won the election, the entire republic would fall apart. That
he's a fascist, that he is in fact Hitler or
Hitler like. And they had many noted historians, all of
whom probably need to go take a long walk in
a park somewhere and touch grass and see reality. All
these historians saying that Donald Trump was a fascist and
(05:12):
the end of the Republic. And yet here we are
now it's not Hitler. But let's be buddies. I gotta
tell you, I didn't see this coming. I knew they
would have to change the way they were approaching things,
But I don't know what to do now. I feel
like there's no point in watching Morning Joe if they're
not going to be fully insane, if they're not going
to represent that left wing Trump is Hitler ideology. I mean,
(05:35):
I can get boring news from anybody. I mean, they're
not very interesting, They're not very good at this. So
the most interesting thing about Morning Joe was how insane
they were. I would say, on an analysis level of this,
this is the ultimate bend knee moment for the Morning
Joe Show. And I think it's also noteworthy they're not apologizing,
(05:58):
they're not coming clean. They're just kind of hoping they
can change course here and then have the benefit, I guess,
of not being insane and also access to Donald Trump
as President's gonna be president for the next four years.
So this is remarkable. But I remember actually in the
twenty sixteen campaign, Mika and Joe were very friendly, very
(06:18):
chummy with Trump early off. Oh this is kind of
a return to form for them, And it was only
when their Democrat constituency went far left that all of
a sudden they decided that they would go to eleven
on the Trump Hatred dial. If I am their honest audience, like,
I would watch it for the spectacle and the amusement
of how insane they were. And honestly, those of you
(06:40):
who weren't watching in the mornings you missed out. The
three months before the election was incredible. I mean just
every day it was like, oh my gosh, Donald Trump
is handler. It was amazing that they're putting this on TV.
But I think this is the collapse, at least right
now of a faction of the legacy media that you're
seeing happen before you've eyes. I think that they are
(07:01):
in panic at CNN, at MSNBC, at The New York Times,
at the La Times, the Washington Post, I think the
edifices of Democrat journalist power are crumbling right now, and
they're scrambling as a result. This is the fallout that
we've been telling you was going to come. And this
is for those of you out there who haven't thought
(07:22):
about it. This is the significance of winning the popular vote.
Is that all of those organizations that Buck just named
spent basically the last six months telling you Trump was hitler,
and overwhelming majority of Americans said we don't believe that,
and they showed up and they voted for Donald Trump
(07:43):
and the biggest win for a Republican since nineteen eighty eight.
Some of you out there are super young. It's the
biggest win that a Republican presidential candidate has had in
any of your lives. And in twenty sixteen, the response was, Hey,
we're going to go put on our vigil hats and
we're going to go have a women's march and let
Trump know that we're still here. And it was Russia collusion,
(08:07):
and it was oh, he's an accidental president and Hillary
should have visited Wisconsin, and oh, this is James Comey's fault.
I think it was, or whoever the FBI director at
the time was for opening back up that investigation. And
Trump was an accidental president. They felt like he snuck
up on them. And in twenty twenty they managed to
rig the election and they got Joe Biden in and
(08:30):
now boom here Trump is back and he's got the
biggest electoral majority of his entire political career. He won
the popular vote, and fuck MSNBC's audience has vanished, CNN's
audience has vanished, their resistance has crumbled. And we'll get
into this with what you're seeing in popular culture when
it comes to the way that athletes are responding to Trump.
(08:52):
But they're running for the hills. And by the way,
a couple of additional quotes about this. Foxnews dot Com
has a quote from Trump on this, and I want
to make sure that I get his quote right. He says,
I received a call from Joe Scarborough requesting a meeting
for him and Meca, and I agreed it would be
(09:13):
a good thing if such a meeting took place. Trump
said that Mika and Joe congratulated me on running a
great and flawless campaign. This is a quote from Trump
to Fox News Meredith McGraw on the meeting between Trump
and Morning Joe and Mika a great and flawless campaign.
(09:39):
Now Buck, the Morning Joe audience, such as it is,
is revolting. Brian Stelter quotes says loyal Morning Joe viewers
are furious about the Trump meeting. Jeff Jarvis called it
a betrayal of their colleagues, democracy and US All says
(10:03):
some fans are vowing not to watch the show anymore,
and it was a disgusting show of bending the knee.
As you said, Buck, and our good friend Keith Olberman
has totally lost his mind and is now personally even
more and is now directly and personally attacking Joe Scarborough
(10:25):
as quote, why is anybody surprised? Since nineteen ninety eight,
I've said Scarborough was the worst person I've ever encountered
in the business. He proves me right year after year.
Today it has become this is Keith Olberman vs. MSNBC.
(10:45):
For those of you who are not World War two
history officionados. He is accusing Olberman is the MSNBC host,
Scarborough and Mika of being the equivalent of the French
government that welcomed the Nazis when they conquered France during
the Hitler era. I mean, this is not a complience
(11:07):
in many ways, not a compliment in any way. So
here's where it all goes. I think the Democrats do
not have a leader right now. I think that their
party and I know that this will all change, that
this will come full circle. There will be someone who emerges.
There will, but right now they are a party in disarray,
(11:27):
and a part of it is I think there's been
this question for a long time. Does the legacy media
run the Democrat Party or does the Democrat Party run
the legacy media? Right does the political apparatus respond to
the overall you know, corporate and media narrative or you
know which one comes first. The problem they have right
now is the legacy Democrat media apparatus. They said we
(11:52):
are going to lie down on the tracks to stop
the Trump train, and the Trump train just kept on coming.
They threw everything that they had into throwing this election
to Kamala Harris, and it failed miserably. And now their
audiences have to be left thinking to themselves, why would
(12:12):
we listen to any of them at all? You see,
Ann Selz, the Polster, just retired after she got it
wrong by what was sixteen point sixteen points? She just
retired because if you're going to get the only state
that you pull wrong by sixteen points, what would you
say you do here? Is a very valid question, right
(12:34):
So I got to tell you, I think that overwhelmingly
the media is they're in a state of shock. I
was a little surprised when I sat there with my
Crockett coffee this morning to get my day going, and
I see on Morning Joe that they are being all
warm and fuzzy about Trump. I didn't know they'd go
to that extent. But this is Remember the rest of
(12:57):
the of the news cycle on MSNBC, or the the
rest of the content wheel of other hosts and shows,
Clay that the tone is set by Morning Joe over there.
It is their big show. It's bigger than any of
their evening shows. So this is going to affect I
think the coverage they have for the rest of the day,
which means the hashtag resistance is waving a white flag
right now. Let me also ask you this as we
(13:20):
go to break, because I'm curious what your answer would
be and whether it's the same as mine. Do you
think Mika Brazinski and Joe Scarborough went to meet with
Trump without their bosses at MSNBC and or Comcast knowing
that this was happening. Or do you think this might
have been encouraged by their bosses because the overall brand
(13:44):
of MSNBC is tanking, And remember Comcast has got this
network up for sale, and if they're not getting along
with Trump, do you think the Trump DOJ is going
to allow the sale of MSNBC to happen. In other words,
in addition to bending the knee, I think it's a
larger corporate message about the way MSNBC is potentially going
(14:04):
to be covering Trump going forward as well. You know
it's Monday and things are getting busy out there. You
got to have the energy you need to get going
and get after it. And especially as we get older
guys and gals, hormone balance this stuff. The biochemistry that
you have can sometimes not be where you need it

Speaker 2 (15:35):
The world has gone insane.
Speaker 1 (15:37):
We claim your sanity with Clay and Fun. Find them
on the free iHeartRadio app or wherever you get your podcasts.
Welcome back into Clay and Back. We are sitting here
and watching what seems like a transformation in both the
media and in sports. Even I was seeing it, and
I'm not just talking about how everybody was watching a buffering.
(16:01):
I got home Clay and I saw some of the
buffering Friday nights. I knew it was going to be
a monster number buck when I was sitting in my
Best Western in Athens, Georgia hotel room trying to get
it pulled up on the screen, and I'm scrolling through
social media and I see that you also are having
difficulty getting Jake Paul Mike Tyson fight pulled up, and
(16:21):
I was like, this thing's going to be huge. I
did not stay to watch it. I was like, I
think this is a sign that I probably shouldn't see this.
I don't know, kind of quasi elder abuse situation going on.
It seemed quite strange to me. But people loved it,
or a lot of people watch it, and a lot
of money changed hands. I don't know. I guess there's
a lot of nostalgia there. But the dancing, the Trump
(16:43):
dancing thing is we got to I mean, I got
to learn how to do it really well. I think
it's pretty easy, you know, you just got to kind
of lean into it. But the Trump dance all over
sports media. Clay, We'll get into that in a second.
You asked a question before we went to a quick commercial,
and I think it's an an interesting one. Meek and
Joe going to meet with it really is like arriving
(17:04):
in the court of the king, right, it really is
does feel like that. And for them to go and
pay homage to use for a medieval m Yeah, pay
homage to the king after saying he was hitler. I
think that the MSNBC brass said you've got to do this.
I think the top people there, I think they ordered it.
(17:26):
I think they said, you've got like that. The madness
needs to end. We need to go back to being
a more mainstream, sort of center left Democrat entity. We
can't have this craziness. What do you think? Oh man,
we need to talk about this because I think it
actually plays into larger cultural and business trends that are
going on right now. Remember they're trying. Comcast Seams, which
(17:47):
owns MSNBC just seems fed up with it, and I
wonder if this is their attempt to placate Trump so
they can sell the network. We need to talk about this,
and I think there's more implications than just they win.
Why they announced they went to their audience. I think
that's intriguing too. What football game this weekend brought brought
out great performances, a lot of great Trump dancing. We'll
(18:10):
talk about that later in the show. But if you
want to have some fun this week, Prize Picks is

(18:59):
Welcome back in Klay, Travis buck Sexton Show. Appreciate all
of you hanging out with us. Okay boy. We're continuing
to discuss how it's like overnight, there's been a light
switch and the culture has changed, and we'll get into
how that's reflecting itself in sports, because it wasn't very
long ago that everybody's taking knees for the national anthem
(19:20):
during NFL games, and now players are scoring touchdowns and
dancing like their Donald Trump to pay to pay tribute
to the new president. That is a major vibe shift.
We'll get into that in a minute. But I do
think there are several details here that are worth examining
in what's going on in the larger media landscape. You
(19:41):
talked about MSNBC, CNN, Washington Post, in New York Times,
LA Times. Let's talk about just a couple of things
that have gone on there recently. Washington Post under Jeff Bezos,
says we're not going to do editorials anymore, and they
also announced that everybody has to show back up and
inside of the office five days a week. That's basically
(20:03):
Jeff Bezos, who's got a hot girlfriend and now lives
in Miami and is super ripped, being like, Hey, I'm
tired of disappearing and letting the inmates run the proverbial
newspaper asylum. Owner of the La Times, Buck went on
Fox News and said, we need way more diversity of
(20:23):
opinion inside of our newspaper. He also decided that they
were not going to endorse anymore from the editorial page.
Maybe he and Bezos talked, maybe they didn't. Mark Zuckerberg
came out and said Trump's a badass and we're not
going to be involved in this election at all. There
is now a pretty good relationship, I am told, between
(20:46):
Zuckerberg and Trump as Trump prepares to come into office.
We've seen what happened with Elon and now you have
Mika Brazinski and Joe Scarborough, who I think it's fair
to say Buck would have been expected to be the
leaders of the anti Trump resistance, showing up at mar
A Lago requesting a meeting, bending the knee, according to Trump,
(21:08):
telling him that he ran an excellent campaign. Soon after,
they told all their audience that Biden was sharp as attack,
the best version of himself, and Trump was hitler. If
that's not a major vibe shift, I don't know what is.
And you asked the question, I think it's a good one.
What's behind this? Let me ask you this? Why announced
that you did it? You and I have had a
(21:29):
lot of meetings in the four years that we've been
doing this show with a lot of different political figures
out there. Most of them we don't come on and
tell you, hey, we had a private meeting with Senator
X or Governor Y, because they're private meetings and we
don't think that all of that should immediately be public.
(21:54):
Mika and Joe Buck on Friday went to mar A Lago.
To my knowledge, there was nobody who wrote it it Friday,
Saturday or Sunday. In other words, they got in and
out without it being a news story, and then on
Monday morning they feel compelled to sit down and tell
their audience that they went to go meet with Trump
face to face. Something bigger is in play here. Maybe
(22:17):
it's that Comcast wants MSNBC sold, And I like your
theory that the boss has told them, hey, we can't
continue like this. You're gonna go meet with them face
to face, and they did it. I can't imagine buck
they did this without the knowledge of their bosses at
MSNBC and Comcast. To me, this is a bigger message.
(22:38):
I think you're right basically from MSNBC letting it be known. Hey,
it's going to be a different era now that you
won the popular vote and you're coming in. We're not
going to try and tell everybody for four years your hitler.
It's just not sustainable because it's also I think less
and less interesting to the audience. Because now if you
(23:00):
really believe that anyone at MSNBC thinks Donald Trump is
a fascist or hitler and the country is going to end,
you're truly a moron. They do not believe this. It
is obvious they don't believe it. Maybe you could have
told yourself that they did also clay all these historians
when you think about all the people that they brought
into this mess of insanity and the credibility destruction that
(23:24):
has occurred here as a result of it, And I
think you just have so many people who very clearly
are not going to be able to go forward and
get the same level of kind of credentialed applause if
you will, Oh, this person's a you know, they wrote
this book or they run this foundation, and I should
listen to them. It's like, weren't you the one who
(23:46):
was telling us that Donald Trump was Hitler and the
country was going to end? And it's going to be
harder and harder for them too as they come into office.
And I think people realize I'm not going to say
it's business as usual, because I think it won't be
business as you which we haven't really talked about. There's
some very interesting things percolating here for the agenda. But
I do think that I think that Donald Trump brokes CNN,
(24:09):
n MSNBC. I think that he effectively, you know, waged
a form of information warfare against them, or maybe you know,
a counter counter insurgency against them, and they are never
going to be the same because they have no credibility
to protect anymore and their own side. Now, maybe they
will rally around the deportations issue. I think that's where
(24:32):
you might see the left, that's the hill that they're
going to start fighting on That's where they're going to
try to gather the resistance. But in the meantime they've
been left toothless, and so I don't know. I don't
know what they're going to do. I don't even know
who they think their most who's the most effective spokesperson
for the Democrat agenda. Right now, I think they're sitting
around looking for someone to emerge. There isn't anybody. And again,
(24:56):
I think the networks themselves are in in an existential
business crisis because the math on MSNBC and CNN doesn't
work if the numbers are as tiny for viewership as
they are and Buck, I've said this before because I've
(25:17):
seen it with my own kids. YouTube is more popular
and powerful now than MSNBC and CNN. Fox News is
continuing to post really big numbers because its audience is
extremely loyal, But CNN and MSNBC, if you told me
right now, hey, you can have the full support of CNN,
(25:39):
MSNBC or YouTube for a show I would want YouTube
like because YouTube, especially over the next few years, is
way more powerful than anything that's going on CNN and
MSNBC and even Twitter. Buck. It now seems like CNN
basically exists for people to clip segments from CNN and
(25:59):
just show heard them on Twitter. Uh as opposed to
make fun of what shows, Yes, and and and that's
the thing. It's fodder now for the digital ecosystem and
shows like this one. Uh, look at it's a it's
a crushing blow to the Democrat media apparatus which just happened.
There's no way around that. There's no version of this
that isn't clearly a big kick in the face for them.
(26:23):
So yeah, from what I see here, Clay, they're going
to have to do a a major I don't know
if it's a reconstruction or reconfiguring, but they can't continue
as is. I also think that the the power of
alternative media has it has now shifted where what we
used to call alternative media really is now the media.
(26:46):
That has happened that the the I know, Fox still
has a very robust audience on the right, and Fox
is the outlier to this. But for the other cable
news networks, you don't need four different versions of Trump
is Hitler. And that's what you've had for with with MSNBC, CNN,
more than four, you know, ABC News, CBS, news. It's
(27:06):
all been the same thing. It's all the same content,
and it's not very interesting. You have to ask the question,
why would you even watch these channels? Now, what's the
point of reading any of the editorials to Washington Post?
They were all wrong, they lied, They're out of touch
with the country, and they just got smoked. So and
they didn't say I hope Donald Trump loses. They said
(27:27):
the country ends if he wins. Well he won, So
now what why am I going to list to somebody
who's calling for the sky falling and then nothing happens, right,
So there's a huge backlash, I think, to that, even
among their own audiences. And then they have to explain
all the dancing clay, all the dancing from the football players.
(27:47):
Very by the way, but we are sitting at seventy
six and a half million votes, This is ridiculous, But
California is still voting. We are going to end up
with Kamala Harris finishing about five or six million less
votes than Joe Biden's eighty one million. It's going to
(28:09):
get more interesting, I think as these final numbers come in.
So Go you mentioned historians, if we had an honest media,
people would go back in and say, Okay, what happened
in twenty twenty? How were democrats able to produce that
many voters for Joe Biden and then Kamala couldn't come
anywhere near producing the same number. Kind of makes you say, right,
(28:34):
things that make you go that we're thinking about. I
want to tell you as we come back, we'll take
some of your calls to By the way, no guests

Speaker 1 (29:52):
Welcome back into Clay and Buck. The good news was

Mika and Joe probably the most humiliating bending of the
knee in media history to Donald Trump, I was drinking

my prize picks picks would be such a hit, but
I will say that our inbox has been full of
commentary on my picks. I told you that I took
a picture of the picks that I gave out on Wednesday.
(31:16):
I was out Thursday and Friday, and my email blew
up with your read of the picks, including this just
came in from Lorenzo Clay. Please please have Buck read
out your picks every week. Funniest thing I heard all week,
George Pickles over was a big hit. Now I have
not heard this, but I had the team. The team,
(31:39):
I really am excited to hear this. First of all,
we did not win, so we did win. But also,
you sent a photo of what you wrote down on
a scratch pad, so I want to understand I really
was reading what I thought he had written. Okay, So
for people who watch on video, I am like. The
one thing that I have retained from Lost is I
(32:00):
basically write everything on a yellow legal pad, So my notes,
if you're watching on video or not, if you've ever
watched me do an out kickshow or anything else, I
basically jot down everything on a yellow legal pad. And
then I want have done with the show. I ripped
the page off, watt it up, throw it away. It's
gone forever. But I do have a picture of my
(32:23):
picture that I thought my writing was actually pretty good.
So I'm gonna text this to Ali. Ali can post
this on the This is my writing. Ali can post
this on the website of the show, so you can
see exactly what Buck was trying to read. I think
(32:43):
it's pretty cool. I think I actually have really good penmanship,
I must say. But Buck does not agree with the
penmanship analysis. You can see whether or not you. In fact,
I'll post it on social so everybody can see it easily.
But here was what it sounded like when Buck was
reading the picks over the weekend. Russell Wilson more than
(33:05):
two hundred and twenty six. I guess that's yards. Sequan, right,
Sequan more than porn five TD rush receiving and then
George Now what, George P. I don't know what this
guy's now, do you, guys, George to say? Pickles? What's
(33:26):
his name? I don't know. He's a football player, George P.
Somebody held me se Quon producer Mark, thank you sake.
Oh George pick Ends, I thought I said Pickles here?
Oh my goodness this How did Sequan? How did Sequan do?
By the way, did he go above? U?
Speaker 2 (33:45):
Over?
Speaker 1 (33:46):
So I haven't even checked all these because I know
we lost on Jalen Hurts got a touchdown. Jaden Daniels
on Thursday night football did not throw over the total,
so we lost that one. I believe we need to
check Saquon, Russell Wilson and George Pickens and see how
those turned out. But once you lose one, it doesn't matter.
(34:07):
So I didn't even check the other three because I
knew we lost with Jayden Daniels. Ali has seen Ali,
can Ali come in? Ali? You have seen the writing.
You do not know football players at all? How would
you assess my penmanship? And when you see Buck trying
to read this?
Speaker 2 (34:26):
Yeah, Clay, I'm totally gonna defend Buck here that that handwriting,
chicken scratch is putting it nicely.
Speaker 1 (34:33):
Clay's handwriting. You threw me in the trench with the grenades,
my friend, with that handwriting, that is not easy. All right,
I'm gonna post it. You guys can all make a
decision about whether or not my handwriting is worthy or not,
or whether Buck Kuan had one hundred and forty six
yards and two touchdowns. I knew we were right to
bet on him. Sequan is an amazing pronunciation, although to
(34:55):
be fair, how many people are actually named Saquon? I mean,
that is probably not a name that very many people
come across. I had read until you wrote that down,
I had never come across no or heard that name.
That is the truth. I did not know this gentleman's name. Yeah,
Saquan had an incredible game, so I think again, I'm
gonna look at these at the total we won on
(35:16):
a lot of these. But again you when I gave
you out five, we were trying to win on a
twenty to one payout there and that would mean so
Russell Wilson went under on his passing yards, so we
did not win that one. And your good friend George Pickle,
George Pickens did go over the receiving yard total, so
we won three out of the five of that. But
(35:39):
you have to go five for five to hit a
twenty for twenty, sorry, a twenty to one payout. But
I would encourage the team to clip buck doing the
read and also my chicken scratch as it's called, and
you guys can all make a decision about whether or
not you believe that he should have been able to
nail it. By the way, I want to thank you guys.
(35:59):
We go to break here. The number of you subscribing
to Crockett Coffee as we come into the holiday season
is absolutely amazing. We are stepping up the number of

That's because of you. If you believe in truth, justice,
