Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome into the Friday edition of The Clay Travis end
Buck Sexton Show. To Friday. That's already looking forward to
Monday for a lot of us excited not just for
the weekend, but for the next week to begin, because
Donald J. Trump will be sworn in on Monday once
(00:21):
again as president. Forty seven president of these United States.
Is very exciting. It has been a long and bleak
four years of the Biden regime and we are looking
forward to this change. I know so many of you
are incredibly excited about it. So this is a weekend
(00:43):
of tremendous anticipation. We've got some news breaking today. A
few things will be getting to Biden deciding that he
can just ratify the Equal Rights Amendment because he says so,
or something, we'll talk about it. You've got Christy Gnoam
on Capitol Hill, governor South Dakotas soon to be the
head of the Department of Homeland Security, a very very
(01:05):
important post because of the immigration and immigration enforcement provisions
and powers under it. The Supreme Court just upheld that
federal law that would make TikTok go dark starting on Sunday.
I think Trump is going to save it at the
last minute. I just don't believe they're going to let
(01:28):
this thing go the way that it currently stands. We'll
dive into all of that, but I will say Clay
and I are having to go deep into our closets
because it is going to be about as cold as
it gets in Washington, d C. For this inauguration. We
are going. Clay wanted a party, so we're going to party,
(01:51):
and I'm trying to find like I'm gonna try to
dress like I live in the polar Arctic North. And
they're now saying, Clay, give us the latest update. They're
actually changing up the inauguration. They say because of the cold.
Speaker 2 (02:09):
This was posted by Trump five minutes ago. January twentieth
can't come fast enough. I mean, this is typical Trump. Everybody,
even those initially opposed to President Donald J. Trump and
the Trump administration, just wanted to happen. He says, it's
his obligation to protect the people of our country. But
before we even begin, we have to think of the
(02:30):
inauguration itself. The weather forecast for Washington, d C, with
the wind chill factor, could take temperatures into severe record lows.
There's an Arctic blast sweeping the country. I don't want
to see people hurt or injured in any way dangerous
conditions for the tens of thousands of law enforcement first responders,
police canines, even horses, and hundreds of thousands of supporters
(02:54):
that will be outside for many hours on the twentieth.
In any event, if you decide to come, please dress formally. Therefore,
this is all from Trump. Therefore, I have ordered the
inauguration address, in addition to prayers and other speeches, to
be delivered in the United States Capital Rotunda, as was
used by Ronald Reagan in nineteen eighty five. Also, because
(03:16):
of very cold weather, the various dignitaries and guest will
be brought into the Capital. This will be a very
beautiful experience for all, and especially for the large TV audience. Now, Buck,
you can imagine the mad scramble that this has put on,
because they have already built the rostrum, the location for
(03:39):
where the inauguration typically takes place, hundreds of thousands of
seats and whatnot being laid out, and now everybody is
going to be inside. I don't even have any sense.
Maybe somebody out there knows in our audience how many
people you could even fit in the Capitol rotunda. I
(03:59):
know it's a big open air area.
Speaker 1 (04:03):
Not as many as you can fit on the mall
and the surrounding areas.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
So I would think just a few thousand buck and
you know you want every congressman, every congressman's wife or
husband is gonna come, the cabinet, the all of the
CEOs that are gonna be there. I mean, this is
gonna be a mad dash to see who makes the cut.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
But the truth is, I, for example, a lot of
the sporting events I've been to, which is far fewer
than clay, it's more fun to watch it on TV
than it is to be there in person, unless you
have pretty amazing seats anyway, So for a lot of
for a lot of people, being able to enjoy this
virtually is really the best option anyway. I'm just I'm
(04:42):
just gonna say it, you know, standing in line and
going through security and being penned in and finding your
seat and everything else, especially when it's going to be
twenty something degrees, which I know for our Minnesota and
Montana listeners is just another Monday, but for people in Washington,
d C. That is deep freeze level. So this is
(05:03):
the Floridians like you.
Speaker 2 (05:04):
I mean, Trump moves to Florida and decides it's too
cold for the inauguration to take place outside as a
joke in and of itself, and he's got a lot
of Floridians in his cabinet.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
If I put like six pastel sweaters on top of
each other, will I be warming off? That's what I
have to figure out here. If I just take all
of my stretching go shorts, aren't gonna cut it. Yeah,
it's gonna be it's gonna be a brisk, it's going
to be chilly. But I will say there is so
much the you know, the feeling that I see Clay
(05:34):
just on social media from talking to people from I
think that there's excitement, but there's also a lot a
feeling of relief. I mean, this Biden administration, it has
just been four years of an insult to the intelligence
of the American people. The whole thing, though, the whole
all four years has just been he is a bonehead,
(05:57):
He is a jerk. The people around him are incompetent.
The country has suffered because of it. You know, it
feels like a Shawshank moment when he finally gets out
into the rain.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
One more bit of news and I sign off on
the Shawshank analogy. They are going to do a presidential
parade that will, I guess end at Capital One Arena,
which is where the Washington basketball team plays, where the
Washington Capitals play, and he says he will join the
crowd at Capital One Arena after his swearing in. All
(06:33):
other events will remain the same. So they're going to
open up Capital One Arena on Monday. Now, Buck, I
don't know how many Capital One Arena can fit. Maybe
thirty thousand would be my guest. I don't know if
they have the floor covered in seats. I know there's
around twenty thousand seats. I've been there for sporting events
several times in the past, but I would imagine that
(06:55):
people are going to start lining up for that thing
to be able to be there on a on the
inauguration day soon.
Speaker 1 (07:02):
I'm also gonna tell you Antifa doesn't like the cold.
The ladies there who.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
Really likes the cold, maybe downtown, the hill slit skiers,
maybe a few like amazing uh athletes on the ice.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
I'm just saying, though, the whatever whatever, uh you know,
low scale mayhem. Some of the angry leftists may have
thought they were going to engage in on this day now,
not when it's this cold outside. You know, it's just
you know, they're there, their little their little fingers get
a little too frost bitten for them to be running
around and spray painting and throwing things at cops and everything.
(07:39):
So uh, in a sense, I think it'll be a
a more orderly, if more frigid inau curation day.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
Let me also point this out, and I know that
having been through what we were through in Butler and
what we were through in Florida, is there anybody else
out there who's antenna kind of go up when you hear, hey,
we're moving things inside? About whether there might have been
some form of actionable threats against Trump and other people
(08:09):
on the dais.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
I think there's always for well, for President Trump going
into an inauguration, there's going to be threat chatter that
that's found by the different law enforcement entities out there.
By the way, Capitol One Arena, our team just pulled
at twenty thousand, three hundred and fifty six. It's a
little bigger than Madison Square Garden, then, right, Madison Square garden.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
But I'm wondering if they're going to be able to
have a bunch of on floor seating, which is why
I was saying maybe they can get it up close
to thirty I don't know, we're standing room on the
ground floor. I you know, that's a big area where
they typically would have the ice or the basketball court. So, yes,
twenty thousand seats, but I wonder anyway, it's going to
be hard to get in there if you are a
diehard Trump supporters.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
Well, says capacity. So I would assume that includes like
fire code. I mean, this is the People's Republic of
DC we're talking about. That's a good point. Yeah, I'm
not sure they're going to be you know, it's not
like a frat party that's just going too late, too long.
They're gonna just let everybody in, right, So I think
that Look, it's going to be quite a day on Monday.
We've all been waiting for it, and and really we'll
(09:11):
talk a lot about this today on the show. This
is just the feeling I think that we all have,
and you know, Clay and I are going to be
celebrating this weekend, trying to keep our feet warm as well.
While we walk around the streets of DC. It's going
to be quite quite chilly. But this is an incredible
place for the country to be in. And if you
had told me that we would be sitting here talking
(09:33):
about Trump's inauguration being moved inside because of the cold.
After four criminal indictments, the New York State lawsuit, the
civil the you know e g. Carol civil lawsuit, the
two impeachments, two assassination attempts. You know, if you told
me that we could we could get into two years ago,
(09:56):
if we could have hopped into a time machine and
gone to this moment in time, I think a lot
of us would have said, oh my gosh, absolutely if
we have the option to just fast forward to this
knowing that the alternative has been defeated. So I think
it's an amazing feeling that a lot of people have
right now, Clay that Trump has. This is now completing
(10:17):
the biggest political comeback of our lifetime, maybe of all time,
at least in American politics. I don't know how else
you could you could stack this up. So it's gonna
be It's gonna be quite a day, and I think Trump,
We're gonna find out this weekend has saved TikTok for
ninety for at least ninety days, so we can we
(10:37):
can look up how to build a fire, you know
what I mean, We could look up how to start
a fire so we don't freeze to death in DC.
You are going to be free We're both flying up
to DC.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
In fact, I'm gonna duck out because I got to
make a flight right at the end of the show today.
But I'm already laughing a little bit about how cold
buck is going to be in DC.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
Cohen, what's temperature today at Miami? It's like seventy two.
It's like seventy two degrees, Yeah, maybe seventy three.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
I you lived in DC. I went to college there.
It's underrated how cold DC gets in the winter.
Speaker 1 (11:11):
I don't. I mean, it's much more akin to the
Northeast than it is the south. Right. It's kind of
like it's a wet it's a wet cold too. It's
a wet, bureaucratic, unfriendly cold. It's not good, windy, way
windier than I ever anticipated. I've been a lot of
cold cities, Let's be honest. I understand all of you
(11:31):
right now in Minneapolis and in in a Milwaukee Buffalo.
Buffalo's my wife's hometown in Detroit. A lot of you
in those states are just like, you're just a bunch
of total hosses. And I get it.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
But it is funny that Trump moves to mar A
Lago where it's probably about the same temperature right now,
and he's like, yeah, you know this this cold weather stuff.
We're just gonna do what Reagan did. Move indoors when
there's I think you have the brown fat.
Speaker 1 (11:57):
They talk about this sometimes, like the which is helpful
for insulation for the cold. I gotta say, once you
move to a warm enough climate, clay that's all gone
and you just shake when you go somewhere cold. You know.
Speaker 2 (12:09):
I lived in the US Virgin Islands for a couple
of years, and I when I first got there, I
thought it was funny.
Speaker 1 (12:15):
The locals would be like, we.
Speaker 2 (12:17):
Don't get in the water. You gotta go to the
beach in December and January? Are you crazy? And then
all the people come in off the cruise ships and
you know, they flood the beaches and it feels it
is funny. By the second year there, I was like, man,
who are these crazy people getting in the water in
the Caribbean in January. All right, you guys, I mean
it is funny how your blood changes based on where
you live. All right, Buck, speaking of changes, you said
(12:37):
you want to add something to the prize picks pick
all right, right.
Speaker 1 (12:41):
You have a pick. I do a singular pick. I
have a singular pick. I'm I'm give my four and
then you give this one. And if we're right on this,
this will pay off at one.
Speaker 2 (12:55):
Hundred to one. So this is a real long shot. Here,
where's my four? Buck, Derrick Henry less than ninety six
and a half yards rushing. This is all mine are
from the Bill's Ravens game, which is the best game
of the weekend in my opinion for the NFL. Lamar
Jackson less than fifty four and a half yards rushing.
It's possible, Buck, we're going to overlap here Josh Allen,
(13:19):
Bill's quarterback more than one and a half passing touchdowns
and Lamar Jackson Ravens quarterback more than two hundred and
twenty and a half passing yards. Those are my four.
I'm gonna star and add yours.
Speaker 1 (13:33):
What is it? Buck Well? I had to learn about this, fellow,
mister Saquon Barkley. And now I've become a big Saquon
fan since I learned how to say his name properly.
Thanks to all of you, I believe mister Saquan is
going to go for more than one hundred and thirteen yards.
(13:54):
Always bet on Saquon.
Speaker 2 (13:56):
All Right, Buck going more for Saquon Barkley. Those five
that we just gave you, that is one hundred to
one payout if we hit all right, So go to
prizepicks dot com. My name Clay, fifty dollars just for
signing up and placing a five dollars pick. Derrick Henry
under less than yards, Lamar Jackson less than rushing yards,
(14:21):
josh Allen Moore, Lamar Jackson Moore when it comes to
touchdowns for a Josh Allen Moore for Lamar on passing yard.
This will be up at clayanbuck dot com. We'll also
share this video and Saquon Barkley more than one hundred
and thirteen rushing yards. If we are right as a
duo one hundred to one payout, you can all retire
prizepicks dot com Code Clay, maybe not retire, but maybe
(14:45):
have a nice round of drinks for the friends at
the bar. Prizepicks dot com code.

Clay Saving America One Thought at a time, Clay Travis
and Buck Sexton. Find them on the free iHeartRadio app
or wherever you get your podcasts.
Speaker 1 (15:03):
Welcome back in Clay Travis buck Sexton show. Buck.
Speaker 2 (15:06):
It's rare that I get immediate negative feedback from my
own family for things that we say on the show. Rare,
I said, because a lot of times, if I'm going
to get negative feedback, it's.
Speaker 1 (15:17):
Going to be my wife.
Speaker 2 (15:18):
Extremely rare to get negative feedback for my ten year old,
who is in the car listening right now because he
had to go to the doctor after getting his tonsils out.
I hope that appointment went well. I haven't heard anything
about that. All I have heard is he took his
mom's phone and he said, Dad, this is Nash. Derrick
Henry having less than one hundred rushing yards is insane.
(15:40):
So my ten year old, my ten year old, has
taken my wife's phone to immediately react to the prize
Picks pick that I just gave out, and he says, me,
taking Derrick Henry for less, it's actually less than ninety
six and a half yards is insane.
Speaker 1 (15:58):
So all of.
Speaker 2 (15:59):
You know that my ten year old will see who's
right here. My ten year old says that I am
that I am wrong, and also my pick is insane,
and I have heard nothing about the doctor's appointment, just
that Nash had to get mom's phone and let me
know that I'm wrong for that opinion.
Speaker 1 (16:18):
I agree with Nash, so's putting it out there. I
can't believe.
Speaker 2 (16:23):
So just FYI for everybody, we have a this is
not twenty twenty second guessing.
Speaker 1 (16:29):
This is dad.
Speaker 2 (16:30):
You're a moron. You don't know what you're talking about.
Your pick is insane. From my fourth grader, he wants
all of you to know that I am wrong and
that he disagrees with what he just heard me say
on the radio. So just before warned, he's not a
fan of the Price Picks pick. I can't stop laughing, Buck.
I'm actually on social media now. People are sharing Reagan
(16:50):
swearing in because of the cold and eighty five. Here's
a funny question. I hope that it's not security related.
Here is a funny quest question for you. I think
you only would do this on the second swearing in
because I think the first swearing in, you would be like,
you're sending the message that you can't handle the cold
(17:11):
and all that. But when you've already your political career
is over, you're like, screw this, it's going to be
super cold. I don't want to I want to enjoy
this experience. We're going indoors. Like, do you buy that
Reagan did it for the second one?
Speaker 1 (17:25):
I think you want to get the first one, you know,
out there in the open. I think the second one
you're more likely to call it. Although I would wonder
when the last time was they've had an inauguration that
is in the twenties. This is going to be in
the twenties, which is.
Speaker 2 (17:38):
According to social media, which is already popping about this.
Barack Obama's. One of Barack Obama's inaugurations was also in
the twenties.
Speaker 1 (17:46):
Was that the one where Bernie Sanders had the special
mittens on the Vermontes?
Speaker 2 (17:50):
Yes, yes, that's right, the monster mittens. Yeah, was freezing
that day. I remember, and I believe, and this is
me going back in the history books, I think the
Kennedy inauguration was bitterly cold back in like nineteen sixty.
I guess sixty one. I guess it would have been
(18:13):
based on my historical knowledge. But to your point, I
mean it is relatively rare. I don't know that anybody
did it before Reagan in eighty five.
Speaker 1 (18:21):
I think we're also going to have a lot to
talk about on that. You know, we're going to be
doing the show from our DC studio. One of the
great things we have is the ability to do shows
from an iHeartMedia studio in pretty much any city in
the country. So we've got a DC studio, We're going
to be doing the show from live. But I think
that you're going to get a whole bunch of executive
orders coming down. I mean, it's it's going to be
(18:43):
it's going to be a consequential week next week, beyond
the pageantry, beyond the pomp and circumstances. I think there's
going to be a lot happening right away. So we'll
start to line some of that up here with you
all stake your calls for inauguration Day, how you're feeling
eight hundred and two eighty two to eight eight two.
Taking a portion of your savings account and investing in
gold is something that not everybody's done, but a lot
of people have thought about it. Let me tell you,
(19:05):
Birch Gold Group is who you should go and learn
about this process from. For example, Amy, in this audience,
she decided it was time and she said her experience
with the Birch Gold Group was fantastic. She had been
considering buying precious mess medals with uninvested funds that were
just sitting in an old four oh one k rollover.
She didn't know what to do with it. She heard
us talking about Birch Gold Group, texted the number ninety
(19:26):
eight ninety eight ninety eight. Text the name Buck to
ninety eight ninety eight ninety eight, and then Amy got
a call from James over at Birch Gold. You listen
to her questions, considered what she was trying to accomplish,
and now she has added this into her portfolio. It's
great once you get it done. Text my name Buck
to ninety eight ninety eight ninety eight to get your
free info kit from Birch Gold. You can also call
(19:47):
or visit their website. Go to Birchgold dot com slash buck.
That's birch goold dot com slash buck. All right, welcome
back into Clay Anne Buck the last day of the
Biden presidenc Man, isn't that nice to be able to
say that the last day of the Biden presidency. I
think you're going to see markets moving in a great direction.
(20:11):
It's gonna take a little time, but you're gonna see
it pretty quickly. You're going to see optimism, the spirit
of American ingenuity and entrepreneurship, and just America on the move.
It's going to be I'm very optimistic. I think it's
going to be fantastic, and I think Trump is going
to hit the ground running on Monday, will get into
(20:34):
more of this. I also think that something that is
very different about this environment going into term two is
the victory over the anti Trump media and also the
big shift in social media, which is the single most
important avenue for the exchange of ideas and information online
(20:56):
by far. There's no question about this. I mean, yeah,
people can anyone can post a blog somewhere, but Facebook, Google, YouTube,
TikTok X these are now the ways that people instantaneously
share thoughts get information, and information moves far more quickly.
(21:17):
I mean, now, when there's breaking news, X is about
thirty minutes ahead of most of the major news networks.
That's that's the experience that people that have really follow
it can see that they're they're almost always now breaking
the news online before it actually gets to these platforms.
I bring this up, Clay, because that's what I have
a fun moment here Mark zucker A couple of things
(21:38):
about Mark Zuckerberg. First of all, you know, now all
of a sudden, he he kind of dresses like he's
in a like a like a nineties music video or something.
You know, he's doing singing like R and B.
Speaker 2 (21:55):
It's a little bit of a shirt for people who
have a look black T shirt like some sort of
gold chain and yeah, I mean it.
Speaker 1 (22:03):
Is letting his hair out. You know, he's doing jiu jitsu.
I mean, he's going for a whole new Zuckerberg. And
the guy's worth hundreds of billions. I don't even know
what his estimated that worth is right now. Money is
effectively meaningless to him, it has been for a long time.
But first, the thing that I thought was really interesting
and I like this was well, I was amused by this.
(22:24):
He's throwing Cheryl Sandberg, who was a big Obama and
Hillary booster. I mean, Cheryl Sandberg a big left wing
you know, classic leftist democrat saying that all the DEI
cultural stuff at Facebook is basically her fault. Did you
see that? Which I think is just great. He's like, look,
it's not on me. He's like Cheryl Sandberg, who is
(22:46):
his former lieutenant, pushed the inclusivity and DEI stuff. This
is in a meeting with Trump, AIDS and Mark Zuckerberg,
So he's throwing her under the bus, which is a
good Did you want to weigh in on that or
do you want to get to bowhunt?
Speaker 2 (23:00):
I was just gonna I was gonna say one super
positive thing about Zuckerberg that I don't think gets discussed
from a pure business perspective, right. I disagree with all
the censorship everything else. I believe he has been incredibly
prescient in recognizing which tech companies to acquire to an
extent that's really kind of unbelievable. I mean, he bought
(23:20):
Instagram before it really kind of took off. He bought WhatsApp,
and I think along with Meta Slash Facebook, those are
basically three of the four biggest sites and or companies
on the Internet.
Speaker 1 (23:35):
Well, when you have hundreds of billions of dollars, it helps,
you know, it's it's easier to make make good acquisitions
when you can write an unlimited check for anything you want.
But he didn't.
Speaker 2 (23:45):
He didn't buy like fairhose right, Like, I mean, there
are a lot of places that raise a lot of
money that end up being total sort of pyramid scheme collapses.
So that positive. Now this that you're gonna play. Having
said that is fun. This is a lot of fun.
At little known fact, because I don've ever shared it before.
I actually was a licensed bowhunter in the state of
(24:06):
New York.
Speaker 1 (24:07):
When I was a kid. I never killed anything with
a bow and arrow. I used to do archery with
my dad. He taught me how to do it. We
did tracking in the woods. I went with him. But
I was very young. I forget, you know, I was
probably a young teenager. But I actually was a licensed
bow hunter in the state of New York for a while.
And you know, so you were killing Yeah, yeah, I mean,
(24:29):
not quite as good with a bow and arrow as
she is. But archery is actually archery is fun. I'm
sure a lot of you and I have done some archery,
but at a very you know, amateur I would say,
dilettante level. So I just put this out there, but
even I could speak with more authenticity from my archery
thirty years ago. Mark Zuckerberg, he went on the Joe
(24:50):
Rogan podcast and you really have to listen in. I mean,
this is so classic, it's perfect. Listen to just Zuckerberg here.
Try to be the woodsman, the bow hunter extraordinaire. Play one.
Speaker 4 (25:05):
You know that used to be the way that people
got meat. You had to go hunt it, so you
had to go actually pull the trigger, kill the animal yourself,
cut it up, butcher it, cook it. You knew what
you were doing.
Speaker 1 (25:15):
Yeah, well my favorite is boon.
Speaker 4 (25:18):
I prefer it because it's it requires more of you.
But yeah, another, what kind of boat you have?
Speaker 1 (25:24):
Gosh, I didn't get to do it this season.
Speaker 4 (25:27):
But do you know the company that makes it?
Speaker 1 (25:30):
No, at the top I had. If you have to know, Yeah, no,
this is embarrassing. This is embarrassing.
Speaker 4 (25:36):
I can get you hooked up.
Speaker 1 (25:38):
Yeah it works.
Speaker 4 (25:40):
Okay. Do you know how old it is? No, it's
it's not old. Okay, I think it's it's like a
just a compound bow that I got strung to my
draw length. And did you get someone to coach you yeah, yeah,
who coached you?
Speaker 1 (25:54):
It's basically a bunch.
Speaker 4 (25:55):
Of the guys who who you know, help run security
on the branch?
Speaker 1 (26:00):
Can I just I don't know. I don't know who
makes the bow. I don't know what kind of bow.
I don't know who taught me. But bow hunting is
my favorite. But I didn't get to do it this season.
That was This is the kid who raises his hand
to answer the question about the book that he hasn't
read and then will not back down that and also
(26:22):
reminds me of the forty year old Virgin when Steve
Carell is talking about what he likes about women so much,
and everybody is just kind of looking at him with
his boobs are like bags of sand. Yes, as he
describes what he likes so much about a female body
and and and everybody just kind of gets weirded out
more and more by the questions. So Joe Rogan's credit
(26:43):
like he really kind of dove in on it, and
uh and Zuckerberg, your Rogan loves loves bow hunting. So
this would this would be like me sitting here and
saying that you know, saying to you, like, oh man,
I love SEC football and you would be like, oh, like,
what's your favorite team? And I'm like the Giants, Like
this is not all or all of them? What do
(27:03):
you go to any games this year? Not this year?
Speaker 2 (27:06):
Well, you know what's first game you went to? Well,
some of the guys told me about it. I mean, yes,
you would think that you would not go all in
on something that you know very little about. And I
will give I know everybody. We had the emailers and
we've had a lot of people weighing in. I do
think it is significant. Did you also see Buck all
(27:28):
of the tech CEOs that are going to be present
at the inauguration? You got Zuckerberg, you got Bezos, You've
got Elon Musk, but also the CEO of Google, Sunder Pachai,
I believe, and Tim Cook, the CEO of Apple. You never,
in the entire tenure of Donald Trump have seen this
(27:52):
many business related interests showing up and the lack of resistance,
as we've talked about, is setting Trump up for a
twenty twenty five, twenty twenty six the likes of which
he's never had in his political career.
Speaker 1 (28:08):
Well, how are you going to have the same kinds
of policies These restrictionist, partisan authoritarian, you know, terms of
service or I'm trying to remember what they what they call,
you know, the way that they will pretend that their
censorship is not just this one off partisan garbage. I mean,
(28:28):
they'll they'll basically usually I think it's the terms of
service violation, they give you a strike, whatever it is.
It's tough to do that for all things Trump related.
When the CEOs of all the tech companies are hanging
out with Trump and asking for meetings for him, you
know what I mean, or meetings with him, I think
that's a very different It is clearly a very different
moment in the world of online information that we've been
(28:51):
in previously, where you know, you couldn't say things about
the election, you'd get banned, shut down. You couldn't say
things about COVID you get banned shut down. You couldn't
dead name you get banned, shut down, all these different areas.
This is all change. And so that's why while while
the CNN, MSNBC communist industrial complex is trying to regroup Clay,
(29:13):
they aren't going to have the same skewed battlefield, which
I think is also something that they have to be
aware of now. You know the days when you could
have some you know, jerk CNN anchor who could pile
on any conservative and they could do whatever they wanted
and they could create, you know, you'd drag somebody for
trying Trump or something. And suddenly it looks like the
(29:36):
entirety of the online sphere is left. That's gone say
something dumb. Now, as a c anchor, you're just gonna
have people that are able to weigh in. You're gonna
get community noted. It's going to change that. It has
changed the dynamic dramatically. So this is it's it's about
more than just this one moment in time. The victory
here is bigger than even the victory at the ballot
(29:59):
box because of all all the things that have shifted
and changed in preparation for this administration.
Speaker 2 (30:05):
One hundred percent. And it's not only there. It's as
we're coming on the air today, CNN is making major
reorganizations to its network. It's not just that these networks
are getting challenged to a degree that hasn't happened in
the past. It's that in real time, they're trying to
figure out what their future is as companies. Whether it's
(30:26):
the Washington Post, whether it is the CNN, whether it's MSNBC,
they're all kind of frantically pursuing their survival as media businesses.
It's not just that Trump won. I mean, as I
just was texting with you and we were talking about
this trial that's been taking place down in Florida, it's
(30:49):
that media companies are now being held accountable. There has
been a decision by a jury in Florida that CNN
has engaged in defamation against an individual reported against and
now it's moving to the punitive damages phase. There are
real consequences suddenly for what some of these networks are saying.
(31:10):
And the business is, uh, the businesses is really fraught
with peril as the cable and satellite bundle is collapsing.
So it's a disruptive time and media the likes of
which I'm not sure we've ever seen.
Speaker 1 (31:24):
And you know, I also want to put out here,
Clay that how could anyone have any sympathy, not that
anyone listening right now would be any sympathy for say
a CNN, when they have advocated for uh, you know,
they were gleeful at the frivolous and destructive lawsuits against
(31:46):
Donald You know, civil lawsuits I'm talking now against against
Donald Trump by the state Attorney General Laticia James, claiming
that he defrauded banks that are like, we didn't get
defraud I mean. And then even beyond that, the way
that they were gleeful at CNN over Fox News paying
out a large settlement. You know, yep, it's good for
(32:06):
the goose, It's good for the gander. Right. This is
the media environment that CNN and the Democrats want to
live in, where you know you are subject to massive
lawsuits in your reporting. Okay, you know that sort cuts
both ways. I think they're about to find that out.
Speaker 2 (32:23):
Nobody benefits from this, And as gleeful as it might
have been, the precedent of Fox paying as much as
they did is going to end up bouncing back onto
MSNBC and CNN at some point. And CNN may be
up against it in a huge way in this Florida case,
depending on what the jury decides to do on the
punitive damages scale.
Speaker 1 (32:45):
Talking about Preborn for a moment, an incredible organization that
has clinics across the country saving the lives of unborn children.
Every location is put in neighborhoods where there are high
rates of abortion, because Preborn wants to be there to
offer moms in crisis the support and love they need
to make the choice for life. And they do this
(33:05):
so often by providing that mom first step in this
process with an ultrasound so she can see the tiny
movements within her, the heartbeat, maybe the little hands, the
little feet of that baby. Because when mom is contemplating abortion,
but she has that emotional connection, that godly connection that
occurs when she's aware of the life growing inside her,
the decision so often becomes clear to her in that
(33:27):
moment for life, and Preborn then steps in with help
for two years after the birth of the baby, diapers, food, clothing,
all kinds of things to make sure that this is
a happy, healthy baby and this family grows the way
that it should. For just twenty eight dollars, you can
help save the life of an unborn child. One hundred
percent of your donation goes to saving lives. To donate,
(33:49):
dial pound two fifty say the keyword baby. That's pound
two five zero say the keyword baby, or go to

Out with the guys on the Sunday Hang with Clay
and Buck podcast.
Speaker 1 (34:09):
A new episode of Every Sunday.
Speaker 3 (34:11):
Find it on the iheartapp or wherever you get your podcasts.
Speaker 2 (34:14):
Welcome back in Clay Travis Buck Sexton Show.
Speaker 1 (34:17):
You never know what information you might get.
Speaker 2 (34:21):
Buck, you asked about the weather the Crack research team
on staff. Here here are the coldest inauguration days in
the last fifty years. Barack Obama nine to twenty eight degrees.
There are not very many that are under thirty. Ronald
(34:42):
Reagan eighty five when they moved it indoors seven degrees
je pretty brutal compared especially to his first inauguration, when
it was fifty five degrees, which is super warm for DC.
Speaker 1 (34:55):
On that day. John F.
Speaker 2 (34:57):
Kennedy, your boy here the History NERD remembered, well, it
was twenty two degrees on JFK's inauguration, and Franklin Roosevelt
in forty one it was twenty nine degrees, so by
and large the temperature being in the twenties. Grover Cleveland,
(35:17):
interestingly the first and only president prior to Trump to
come back and win reelection. For his second inauguration, it
was twenty five degrees. U Listenes s Grant back in
eighteen seventy three buck sixteen degrees. He lived through the
Civil War. I think he could handle a little bit
of cold. But it's pretty cool. You can go all
(35:38):
the way back. Remember they used to have the ceremonies
in March and then in April, so the weather changes
compared to January. But there's your context for how many
under thirty relatively rare Reagan, it was seven degrees. And Trump,
for those of you just tuning in right now, has
decided to move it indoors.
Speaker 1 (35:56):
And if you're thinking about the cold in a way
to beat it, a coffee is that's the way to go.
I'm gonna be giving Clay his trucker hat. I've got
some of the trucker hats that are now available on
Crocketcoffee dot com. Go please subscribe. A great time to
get started in the new year with a new coffee,
and ten percent of our profits goes to Tunt the Towers.
About a thousand of you have become subscribers, used code
(36:18):
book and been able to get yourself a signed copy
of Clay's American Playbook. So I think this is a
great time to continue with that tradition. Go use Codebook,
get a signed copy of American Playbook, become a subscriber
to Crocket Coffee and you will love it. It is delicious.
Trust us on that one. Their views that everyone's putting
up on the site speaks for themselves, and it's what
(36:39):
I'm bringing some with me, because you know, I can't
trust any of that communist swell they've gotten the People's
Republic of DC. I don't know what sort of left
wing bruised they're going to be throwing at me.
Speaker 2 (36:48):
You know what's gonna happen now, somebody's going to snap
a photo of us drinking coffee and it's star scandal
in DC somewhere.
Speaker 1 (36:53):
Of course, I'm drinking a mint, a mint latte or something. Yeah,
I understand.
Speaker 2 (36:59):
I saw somebody ordering the other day the what's the
thing that they start to add all the time in
the fall, the spice lata pumpkin spice lattes everywhere, And
I don't know how you can trust a man that
you see ordering the pumpkins. I'm very popular with with
flute players who wear turtlenecks.
Speaker 1 (37:16):
I'm just telling that's right in spice Latt.
Speaker 2 (37:18):
But I am going downstairs right now to put Crockett
coffee in my travel bag so that we have it
in our Washington, DC location as we get ready for
the inauguration of Trump. This is the final show that
we will do with Joe Biden as the President of
the United States. I mean that is a reason for
(37:39):
celebration itself. We'll be live with you at noon with
Trump taking the oath on Monday, but I thought we
could have some fun with saying bye to Biden when
we return. Thanks for hanging with us here on Clay
and Buck
Welcome into the Friday edition of The Clay Travis end
Buck Sexton Show. To Friday. That's already looking forward to
Monday for a lot of us excited not just for
the weekend, but for the next week to begin, because
Donald J. Trump will be sworn in on Monday once
(00:21):
again as president. Forty seven president of these United States.
Is very exciting. It has been a long and bleak
four years of the Biden regime and we are looking
forward to this change. I know so many of you
are incredibly excited about it. So this is a weekend
(00:43):
of tremendous anticipation. We've got some news breaking today. A
few things will be getting to Biden deciding that he
can just ratify the Equal Rights Amendment because he says so,
or something, we'll talk about it. You've got Christy Gnoam
on Capitol Hill, governor South Dakotas soon to be the
head of the Department of Homeland Security, a very very
(01:05):
important post because of the immigration and immigration enforcement provisions
and powers under it. The Supreme Court just upheld that
federal law that would make TikTok go dark starting on Sunday.
I think Trump is going to save it at the
last minute. I just don't believe they're going to let
(01:28):
this thing go the way that it currently stands. We'll
dive into all of that, but I will say Clay
and I are having to go deep into our closets
because it is going to be about as cold as
it gets in Washington, d C. For this inauguration. We
are going. Clay wanted a party, so we're going to party,
(01:51):
and I'm trying to find like I'm gonna try to
dress like I live in the polar Arctic North. And
they're now saying, Clay, give us the latest update. They're
actually changing up the inauguration. They say because of the cold.
Speaker 2 (02:09):
This was posted by Trump five minutes ago. January twentieth
can't come fast enough. I mean, this is typical Trump. Everybody,
even those initially opposed to President Donald J. Trump and
the Trump administration, just wanted to happen. He says, it's
his obligation to protect the people of our country. But
before we even begin, we have to think of the
(02:30):
inauguration itself. The weather forecast for Washington, d C, with
the wind chill factor, could take temperatures into severe record lows.
There's an Arctic blast sweeping the country. I don't want
to see people hurt or injured in any way dangerous
conditions for the tens of thousands of law enforcement first responders,
police canines, even horses, and hundreds of thousands of supporters
(02:54):
that will be outside for many hours on the twentieth.
In any event, if you decide to come, please dress formally. Therefore,
this is all from Trump. Therefore, I have ordered the
inauguration address, in addition to prayers and other speeches, to
be delivered in the United States Capital Rotunda, as was
used by Ronald Reagan in nineteen eighty five. Also, because
(03:16):
of very cold weather, the various dignitaries and guest will
be brought into the Capital. This will be a very
beautiful experience for all, and especially for the large TV audience. Now, Buck,
you can imagine the mad scramble that this has put on,
because they have already built the rostrum, the location for
(03:39):
where the inauguration typically takes place, hundreds of thousands of
seats and whatnot being laid out, and now everybody is
going to be inside. I don't even have any sense.
Maybe somebody out there knows in our audience how many
people you could even fit in the Capitol rotunda. I
(03:59):
know it's a big open air area.
Speaker 1 (04:03):
Not as many as you can fit on the mall
and the surrounding areas.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
So I would think just a few thousand buck and
you know you want every congressman, every congressman's wife or
husband is gonna come, the cabinet, the all of the
CEOs that are gonna be there. I mean, this is
gonna be a mad dash to see who makes the cut.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
But the truth is, I, for example, a lot of
the sporting events I've been to, which is far fewer
than clay, it's more fun to watch it on TV
than it is to be there in person, unless you
have pretty amazing seats anyway, So for a lot of
for a lot of people, being able to enjoy this
virtually is really the best option anyway. I'm just I'm
(04:42):
just gonna say it, you know, standing in line and
going through security and being penned in and finding your
seat and everything else, especially when it's going to be
twenty something degrees, which I know for our Minnesota and
Montana listeners is just another Monday, but for people in Washington,
d C. That is deep freeze level. So this is
(05:03):
the Floridians like you.
Speaker 2 (05:04):
I mean, Trump moves to Florida and decides it's too
cold for the inauguration to take place outside as a
joke in and of itself, and he's got a lot
of Floridians in his cabinet.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
If I put like six pastel sweaters on top of
each other, will I be warming off? That's what I
have to figure out here. If I just take all
of my stretching go shorts, aren't gonna cut it. Yeah,
it's gonna be it's gonna be a brisk, it's going
to be chilly. But I will say there is so
much the you know, the feeling that I see Clay
(05:34):
just on social media from talking to people from I
think that there's excitement, but there's also a lot a
feeling of relief. I mean, this Biden administration, it has
just been four years of an insult to the intelligence
of the American people. The whole thing, though, the whole
all four years has just been he is a bonehead,
(05:57):
He is a jerk. The people around him are incompetent.
The country has suffered because of it. You know, it
feels like a Shawshank moment when he finally gets out
into the rain.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
One more bit of news and I sign off on
the Shawshank analogy. They are going to do a presidential
parade that will, I guess end at Capital One Arena,
which is where the Washington basketball team plays, where the
Washington Capitals play, and he says he will join the
crowd at Capital One Arena after his swearing in. All
(06:33):
other events will remain the same. So they're going to
open up Capital One Arena on Monday. Now, Buck, I
don't know how many Capital One Arena can fit. Maybe
thirty thousand would be my guest. I don't know if
they have the floor covered in seats. I know there's
around twenty thousand seats. I've been there for sporting events
several times in the past, but I would imagine that
(06:55):
people are going to start lining up for that thing
to be able to be there on a on the
inauguration day soon.
Speaker 1 (07:02):
I'm also gonna tell you Antifa doesn't like the cold.
The ladies there who.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
Really likes the cold, maybe downtown, the hill slit skiers,
maybe a few like amazing uh athletes on the ice.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
I'm just saying, though, the whatever whatever, uh you know,
low scale mayhem. Some of the angry leftists may have
thought they were going to engage in on this day now,
not when it's this cold outside. You know, it's just
you know, they're there, their little their little fingers get
a little too frost bitten for them to be running
around and spray painting and throwing things at cops and everything.
(07:39):
So uh, in a sense, I think it'll be a
a more orderly, if more frigid inau curation day.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
Let me also point this out, and I know that
having been through what we were through in Butler and
what we were through in Florida, is there anybody else
out there who's antenna kind of go up when you hear, hey,
we're moving things inside? About whether there might have been
some form of actionable threats against Trump and other people
(08:09):
on the dais.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
I think there's always for well, for President Trump going
into an inauguration, there's going to be threat chatter that
that's found by the different law enforcement entities out there.
By the way, Capitol One Arena, our team just pulled
at twenty thousand, three hundred and fifty six. It's a
little bigger than Madison Square Garden, then, right, Madison Square garden.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
But I'm wondering if they're going to be able to
have a bunch of on floor seating, which is why
I was saying maybe they can get it up close
to thirty I don't know, we're standing room on the
ground floor. I you know, that's a big area where
they typically would have the ice or the basketball court. So, yes,
twenty thousand seats, but I wonder anyway, it's going to
be hard to get in there if you are a
diehard Trump supporters.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
Well, says capacity. So I would assume that includes like
fire code. I mean, this is the People's Republic of
DC we're talking about. That's a good point. Yeah, I'm
not sure they're going to be you know, it's not
like a frat party that's just going too late, too long.
They're gonna just let everybody in, right, So I think
that Look, it's going to be quite a day on Monday.
We've all been waiting for it, and and really we'll
(09:11):
talk a lot about this today on the show. This
is just the feeling I think that we all have,
and you know, Clay and I are going to be
celebrating this weekend, trying to keep our feet warm as well.
While we walk around the streets of DC. It's going
to be quite quite chilly. But this is an incredible
place for the country to be in. And if you
had told me that we would be sitting here talking
(09:33):
about Trump's inauguration being moved inside because of the cold.
After four criminal indictments, the New York State lawsuit, the
civil the you know e g. Carol civil lawsuit, the
two impeachments, two assassination attempts. You know, if you told
me that we could we could get into two years ago,
(09:56):
if we could have hopped into a time machine and
gone to this moment in time, I think a lot
of us would have said, oh my gosh, absolutely if
we have the option to just fast forward to this
knowing that the alternative has been defeated. So I think
it's an amazing feeling that a lot of people have
right now, Clay that Trump has. This is now completing
(10:17):
the biggest political comeback of our lifetime, maybe of all time,
at least in American politics. I don't know how else
you could you could stack this up. So it's gonna
be It's gonna be quite a day, and I think Trump,
We're gonna find out this weekend has saved TikTok for
ninety for at least ninety days, so we can we
(10:37):
can look up how to build a fire, you know
what I mean, We could look up how to start
a fire so we don't freeze to death in DC.
You are going to be free We're both flying up
to DC.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
In fact, I'm gonna duck out because I got to
make a flight right at the end of the show today.
But I'm already laughing a little bit about how cold
buck is going to be in DC.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
Cohen, what's temperature today at Miami? It's like seventy two.
It's like seventy two degrees, Yeah, maybe seventy three.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
I you lived in DC. I went to college there.
It's underrated how cold DC gets in the winter.
Speaker 1 (11:11):
I don't. I mean, it's much more akin to the
Northeast than it is the south. Right. It's kind of
like it's a wet it's a wet cold too. It's
a wet, bureaucratic, unfriendly cold. It's not good, windy, way
windier than I ever anticipated. I've been a lot of
cold cities, Let's be honest. I understand all of you
(11:31):
right now in Minneapolis and in in a Milwaukee Buffalo.
Buffalo's my wife's hometown in Detroit. A lot of you
in those states are just like, you're just a bunch
of total hosses. And I get it.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
But it is funny that Trump moves to mar A
Lago where it's probably about the same temperature right now,
and he's like, yeah, you know this this cold weather stuff.
We're just gonna do what Reagan did. Move indoors when
there's I think you have the brown fat.
Speaker 1 (11:57):
They talk about this sometimes, like the which is helpful
for insulation for the cold. I gotta say, once you
move to a warm enough climate, clay that's all gone
and you just shake when you go somewhere cold. You know.
Speaker 2 (12:09):
I lived in the US Virgin Islands for a couple
of years, and I when I first got there, I
thought it was funny.
Speaker 1 (12:15):
The locals would be like, we.
Speaker 2 (12:17):
Don't get in the water. You gotta go to the
beach in December and January? Are you crazy? And then
all the people come in off the cruise ships and
you know, they flood the beaches and it feels it
is funny. By the second year there, I was like, man,
who are these crazy people getting in the water in
the Caribbean in January. All right, you guys, I mean
it is funny how your blood changes based on where
you live. All right, Buck, speaking of changes, you said
(12:37):
you want to add something to the prize picks pick
all right, right.
Speaker 1 (12:41):
You have a pick. I do a singular pick. I
have a singular pick. I'm I'm give my four and
then you give this one. And if we're right on this,
this will pay off at one.
Speaker 2 (12:55):
Hundred to one. So this is a real long shot. Here,
where's my four? Buck, Derrick Henry less than ninety six
and a half yards rushing. This is all mine are
from the Bill's Ravens game, which is the best game
of the weekend in my opinion for the NFL. Lamar
Jackson less than fifty four and a half yards rushing.
It's possible, Buck, we're going to overlap here Josh Allen,
(13:19):
Bill's quarterback more than one and a half passing touchdowns
and Lamar Jackson Ravens quarterback more than two hundred and
twenty and a half passing yards. Those are my four.
I'm gonna star and add yours.
Speaker 1 (13:33):
What is it? Buck Well? I had to learn about this, fellow,
mister Saquon Barkley. And now I've become a big Saquon
fan since I learned how to say his name properly.
Thanks to all of you, I believe mister Saquan is
going to go for more than one hundred and thirteen yards.
(13:54):
Always bet on Saquon.
Speaker 2 (13:56):
All Right, Buck going more for Saquon Barkley. Those five
that we just gave you, that is one hundred to
one payout if we hit all right, So go to
prizepicks dot com. My name Clay, fifty dollars just for
signing up and placing a five dollars pick. Derrick Henry
under less than yards, Lamar Jackson less than rushing yards,
(14:21):
josh Allen Moore, Lamar Jackson Moore when it comes to
touchdowns for a Josh Allen Moore for Lamar on passing yard.
This will be up at clayanbuck dot com. We'll also
share this video and Saquon Barkley more than one hundred
and thirteen rushing yards. If we are right as a
duo one hundred to one payout, you can all retire
prizepicks dot com Code Clay, maybe not retire, but maybe
(14:45):
have a nice round of drinks for the friends at
the bar. Prizepicks dot com code.

or wherever you get your podcasts.
Speaker 1 (15:03):
Welcome back in Clay Travis buck Sexton show. Buck.
Speaker 2 (15:06):
It's rare that I get immediate negative feedback from my
own family for things that we say on the show. Rare,
I said, because a lot of times, if I'm going
to get negative feedback, it's.
Speaker 1 (15:17):
Going to be my wife.
Speaker 2 (15:18):
Extremely rare to get negative feedback for my ten year old,
who is in the car listening right now because he
had to go to the doctor after getting his tonsils out.
I hope that appointment went well. I haven't heard anything
about that. All I have heard is he took his
mom's phone and he said, Dad, this is Nash. Derrick
Henry having less than one hundred rushing yards is insane.
(15:40):
So my ten year old, my ten year old, has
taken my wife's phone to immediately react to the prize
Picks pick that I just gave out, and he says, me,
taking Derrick Henry for less, it's actually less than ninety
six and a half yards is insane.
Speaker 1 (15:58):
So all of.
Speaker 2 (15:59):
You know that my ten year old will see who's
right here. My ten year old says that I am
that I am wrong, and also my pick is insane,
and I have heard nothing about the doctor's appointment, just
that Nash had to get mom's phone and let me
know that I'm wrong for that opinion.
Speaker 1 (16:18):
I agree with Nash, so's putting it out there. I
can't believe.
Speaker 2 (16:23):
So just FYI for everybody, we have a this is
not twenty twenty second guessing.
Speaker 1 (16:29):
This is dad.
Speaker 2 (16:30):
You're a moron. You don't know what you're talking about.
Your pick is insane. From my fourth grader, he wants
all of you to know that I am wrong and
that he disagrees with what he just heard me say
on the radio. So just before warned, he's not a
fan of the Price Picks pick. I can't stop laughing, Buck.
I'm actually on social media now. People are sharing Reagan
(16:50):
swearing in because of the cold and eighty five. Here's
a funny question. I hope that it's not security related.
Here is a funny quest question for you. I think
you only would do this on the second swearing in
because I think the first swearing in, you would be like,
you're sending the message that you can't handle the cold
(17:11):
and all that. But when you've already your political career
is over, you're like, screw this, it's going to be
super cold. I don't want to I want to enjoy
this experience. We're going indoors. Like, do you buy that
Reagan did it for the second one?
Speaker 1 (17:25):
I think you want to get the first one, you know,
out there in the open. I think the second one
you're more likely to call it. Although I would wonder
when the last time was they've had an inauguration that
is in the twenties. This is going to be in
the twenties, which is.
Speaker 2 (17:38):
According to social media, which is already popping about this.
Barack Obama's. One of Barack Obama's inaugurations was also in
the twenties.
Speaker 1 (17:46):
Was that the one where Bernie Sanders had the special
mittens on the Vermontes?
Speaker 2 (17:50):
Yes, yes, that's right, the monster mittens. Yeah, was freezing
that day. I remember, and I believe, and this is
me going back in the history books, I think the
Kennedy inauguration was bitterly cold back in like nineteen sixty.
I guess sixty one. I guess it would have been
(18:13):
based on my historical knowledge. But to your point, I
mean it is relatively rare. I don't know that anybody
did it before Reagan in eighty five.
Speaker 1 (18:21):
I think we're also going to have a lot to
talk about on that. You know, we're going to be
doing the show from our DC studio. One of the
great things we have is the ability to do shows
from an iHeartMedia studio in pretty much any city in
the country. So we've got a DC studio, We're going
to be doing the show from live. But I think
that you're going to get a whole bunch of executive
orders coming down. I mean, it's it's going to be
(18:43):
it's going to be a consequential week next week, beyond
the pageantry, beyond the pomp and circumstances. I think there's
going to be a lot happening right away. So we'll
start to line some of that up here with you
all stake your calls for inauguration Day, how you're feeling
eight hundred and two eighty two to eight eight two.
Taking a portion of your savings account and investing in
gold is something that not everybody's done, but a lot
of people have thought about it. Let me tell you,
(19:05):
Birch Gold Group is who you should go and learn
about this process from. For example, Amy, in this audience,
she decided it was time and she said her experience
with the Birch Gold Group was fantastic. She had been
considering buying precious mess medals with uninvested funds that were
just sitting in an old four oh one k rollover.
She didn't know what to do with it. She heard
us talking about Birch Gold Group, texted the number ninety
(19:26):
eight ninety eight ninety eight. Text the name Buck to
ninety eight ninety eight ninety eight, and then Amy got
a call from James over at Birch Gold. You listen
to her questions, considered what she was trying to accomplish,
and now she has added this into her portfolio. It's
great once you get it done. Text my name Buck
to ninety eight ninety eight ninety eight to get your
free info kit from Birch Gold. You can also call
(19:47):
or visit their website. Go to Birchgold dot com slash buck.
That's birch goold dot com slash buck. All right, welcome
back into Clay Anne Buck the last day of the
Biden presidenc Man, isn't that nice to be able to
say that the last day of the Biden presidency. I
think you're going to see markets moving in a great direction.
(20:11):
It's gonna take a little time, but you're gonna see
it pretty quickly. You're going to see optimism, the spirit
of American ingenuity and entrepreneurship, and just America on the move.
It's going to be I'm very optimistic. I think it's
going to be fantastic, and I think Trump is going
to hit the ground running on Monday, will get into
(20:34):
more of this. I also think that something that is
very different about this environment going into term two is
the victory over the anti Trump media and also the
big shift in social media, which is the single most
important avenue for the exchange of ideas and information online
(20:56):
by far. There's no question about this. I mean, yeah,
people can anyone can post a blog somewhere, but Facebook, Google, YouTube,
TikTok X these are now the ways that people instantaneously
share thoughts get information, and information moves far more quickly.
(21:17):
I mean, now, when there's breaking news, X is about
thirty minutes ahead of most of the major news networks.
That's that's the experience that people that have really follow
it can see that they're they're almost always now breaking
the news online before it actually gets to these platforms.
I bring this up, Clay, because that's what I have
a fun moment here Mark zucker A couple of things
(21:38):
about Mark Zuckerberg. First of all, you know, now all
of a sudden, he he kind of dresses like he's
in a like a like a nineties music video or something.
You know, he's doing singing like R and B.
Speaker 2 (21:55):
It's a little bit of a shirt for people who
have a look black T shirt like some sort of
gold chain and yeah, I mean it.
Speaker 1 (22:03):
Is letting his hair out. You know, he's doing jiu jitsu.
I mean, he's going for a whole new Zuckerberg. And
the guy's worth hundreds of billions. I don't even know
what his estimated that worth is right now. Money is
effectively meaningless to him, it has been for a long time.
But first, the thing that I thought was really interesting
and I like this was well, I was amused by this.
(22:24):
He's throwing Cheryl Sandberg, who was a big Obama and
Hillary booster. I mean, Cheryl Sandberg a big left wing
you know, classic leftist democrat saying that all the DEI
cultural stuff at Facebook is basically her fault. Did you
see that? Which I think is just great. He's like, look,
it's not on me. He's like Cheryl Sandberg, who is
(22:46):
his former lieutenant, pushed the inclusivity and DEI stuff. This
is in a meeting with Trump, AIDS and Mark Zuckerberg,
So he's throwing her under the bus, which is a
good Did you want to weigh in on that or
do you want to get to bowhunt?
Speaker 2 (23:00):
I was just gonna I was gonna say one super
positive thing about Zuckerberg that I don't think gets discussed
from a pure business perspective, right. I disagree with all
the censorship everything else. I believe he has been incredibly
prescient in recognizing which tech companies to acquire to an
extent that's really kind of unbelievable. I mean, he bought
(23:20):
Instagram before it really kind of took off. He bought WhatsApp,
and I think along with Meta Slash Facebook, those are
basically three of the four biggest sites and or companies
on the Internet.
Speaker 1 (23:35):
Well, when you have hundreds of billions of dollars, it helps,
you know, it's it's easier to make make good acquisitions
when you can write an unlimited check for anything you want.
But he didn't.
Speaker 2 (23:45):
He didn't buy like fairhose right, Like, I mean, there
are a lot of places that raise a lot of
money that end up being total sort of pyramid scheme collapses.
So that positive. Now this that you're gonna play. Having
said that is fun. This is a lot of fun.
At little known fact, because I don've ever shared it before.
I actually was a licensed bowhunter in the state of
(24:06):
New York.
Speaker 1 (24:07):
When I was a kid. I never killed anything with
a bow and arrow. I used to do archery with
my dad. He taught me how to do it. We
did tracking in the woods. I went with him. But
I was very young. I forget, you know, I was
probably a young teenager. But I actually was a licensed
bow hunter in the state of New York for a while.
And you know, so you were killing Yeah, yeah, I mean,
(24:29):
not quite as good with a bow and arrow as
she is. But archery is actually archery is fun. I'm
sure a lot of you and I have done some archery,
but at a very you know, amateur I would say,
dilettante level. So I just put this out there, but
even I could speak with more authenticity from my archery
thirty years ago. Mark Zuckerberg, he went on the Joe
(24:50):
Rogan podcast and you really have to listen in. I mean,
this is so classic, it's perfect. Listen to just Zuckerberg here.
Try to be the woodsman, the bow hunter extraordinaire. Play one.
Speaker 4 (25:05):
You know that used to be the way that people
got meat. You had to go hunt it, so you
had to go actually pull the trigger, kill the animal yourself,
cut it up, butcher it, cook it. You knew what
you were doing.
Speaker 1 (25:15):
Yeah, well my favorite is boon.
Speaker 4 (25:18):
I prefer it because it's it requires more of you.
But yeah, another, what kind of boat you have?
Speaker 1 (25:24):
Gosh, I didn't get to do it this season.
Speaker 4 (25:27):
But do you know the company that makes it?
Speaker 1 (25:30):
No, at the top I had. If you have to know, Yeah, no,
this is embarrassing. This is embarrassing.
Speaker 4 (25:36):
I can get you hooked up.
Speaker 1 (25:38):
Yeah it works.
Speaker 4 (25:40):
Okay. Do you know how old it is? No, it's
it's not old. Okay, I think it's it's like a
just a compound bow that I got strung to my
draw length. And did you get someone to coach you yeah, yeah,
who coached you?
Speaker 1 (25:54):
It's basically a bunch.
Speaker 4 (25:55):
Of the guys who who you know, help run security
on the branch?
Speaker 1 (26:00):
Can I just I don't know. I don't know who
makes the bow. I don't know what kind of bow.
I don't know who taught me. But bow hunting is
my favorite. But I didn't get to do it this season.
That was This is the kid who raises his hand
to answer the question about the book that he hasn't
read and then will not back down that and also
(26:22):
reminds me of the forty year old Virgin when Steve
Carell is talking about what he likes about women so much,
and everybody is just kind of looking at him with
his boobs are like bags of sand. Yes, as he
describes what he likes so much about a female body
and and and everybody just kind of gets weirded out
more and more by the questions. So Joe Rogan's credit
(26:43):
like he really kind of dove in on it, and
uh and Zuckerberg, your Rogan loves loves bow hunting. So
this would this would be like me sitting here and
saying that you know, saying to you, like, oh man,
I love SEC football and you would be like, oh, like,
what's your favorite team? And I'm like the Giants, Like
this is not all or all of them? What do
(27:03):
you go to any games this year? Not this year?
Speaker 2 (27:06):
Well, you know what's first game you went to? Well,
some of the guys told me about it. I mean, yes,
you would think that you would not go all in
on something that you know very little about. And I
will give I know everybody. We had the emailers and
we've had a lot of people weighing in. I do
think it is significant. Did you also see Buck all
(27:28):
of the tech CEOs that are going to be present
at the inauguration? You got Zuckerberg, you got Bezos, You've
got Elon Musk, but also the CEO of Google, Sunder Pachai,
I believe, and Tim Cook, the CEO of Apple. You never,
in the entire tenure of Donald Trump have seen this
(27:52):
many business related interests showing up and the lack of resistance,
as we've talked about, is setting Trump up for a
twenty twenty five, twenty twenty six the likes of which
he's never had in his political career.
Speaker 1 (28:08):
Well, how are you going to have the same kinds
of policies These restrictionist, partisan authoritarian, you know, terms of
service or I'm trying to remember what they what they call,
you know, the way that they will pretend that their
censorship is not just this one off partisan garbage. I mean,
(28:28):
they'll they'll basically usually I think it's the terms of
service violation, they give you a strike, whatever it is.
It's tough to do that for all things Trump related.
When the CEOs of all the tech companies are hanging
out with Trump and asking for meetings for him, you
know what I mean, or meetings with him, I think
that's a very different It is clearly a very different
moment in the world of online information that we've been
(28:51):
in previously, where you know, you couldn't say things about
the election, you'd get banned, shut down. You couldn't say
things about COVID you get banned shut down. You couldn't
dead name you get banned, shut down, all these different areas.
This is all change. And so that's why while while
the CNN, MSNBC communist industrial complex is trying to regroup Clay,
(29:13):
they aren't going to have the same skewed battlefield, which
I think is also something that they have to be
aware of now. You know the days when you could
have some you know, jerk CNN anchor who could pile
on any conservative and they could do whatever they wanted
and they could create, you know, you'd drag somebody for
trying Trump or something. And suddenly it looks like the
(29:36):
entirety of the online sphere is left. That's gone say
something dumb. Now, as a c anchor, you're just gonna
have people that are able to weigh in. You're gonna
get community noted. It's going to change that. It has
changed the dynamic dramatically. So this is it's it's about
more than just this one moment in time. The victory
here is bigger than even the victory at the ballot
(29:59):
box because of all all the things that have shifted
and changed in preparation for this administration.
Speaker 2 (30:05):
One hundred percent. And it's not only there. It's as
we're coming on the air today, CNN is making major
reorganizations to its network. It's not just that these networks
are getting challenged to a degree that hasn't happened in
the past. It's that in real time, they're trying to
figure out what their future is as companies. Whether it's
(30:26):
the Washington Post, whether it is the CNN, whether it's MSNBC,
they're all kind of frantically pursuing their survival as media businesses.
It's not just that Trump won. I mean, as I
just was texting with you and we were talking about
this trial that's been taking place down in Florida, it's
(30:49):
that media companies are now being held accountable. There has
been a decision by a jury in Florida that CNN
has engaged in defamation against an individual reported against and
now it's moving to the punitive damages phase. There are
real consequences suddenly for what some of these networks are saying.
(31:10):
And the business is, uh, the businesses is really fraught
with peril as the cable and satellite bundle is collapsing.
So it's a disruptive time and media the likes of
which I'm not sure we've ever seen.
Speaker 1 (31:24):
And you know, I also want to put out here,
Clay that how could anyone have any sympathy, not that
anyone listening right now would be any sympathy for say
a CNN, when they have advocated for uh, you know,
they were gleeful at the frivolous and destructive lawsuits against
(31:46):
Donald You know, civil lawsuits I'm talking now against against
Donald Trump by the state Attorney General Laticia James, claiming
that he defrauded banks that are like, we didn't get
defraud I mean. And then even beyond that, the way
that they were gleeful at CNN over Fox News paying
out a large settlement. You know, yep, it's good for
(32:06):
the goose, It's good for the gander. Right. This is
the media environment that CNN and the Democrats want to
live in, where you know you are subject to massive
lawsuits in your reporting. Okay, you know that sort cuts
both ways. I think they're about to find that out.
Speaker 2 (32:23):
Nobody benefits from this, And as gleeful as it might
have been, the precedent of Fox paying as much as
they did is going to end up bouncing back onto
MSNBC and CNN at some point. And CNN may be
up against it in a huge way in this Florida case,
depending on what the jury decides to do on the
punitive damages scale.
Speaker 1 (32:45):
Talking about Preborn for a moment, an incredible organization that
has clinics across the country saving the lives of unborn children.
Every location is put in neighborhoods where there are high
rates of abortion, because Preborn wants to be there to
offer moms in crisis the support and love they need
to make the choice for life. And they do this
(33:05):
so often by providing that mom first step in this
process with an ultrasound so she can see the tiny
movements within her, the heartbeat, maybe the little hands, the
little feet of that baby. Because when mom is contemplating abortion,
but she has that emotional connection, that godly connection that
occurs when she's aware of the life growing inside her,
the decision so often becomes clear to her in that
(33:27):
moment for life, and Preborn then steps in with help
for two years after the birth of the baby, diapers, food, clothing,
all kinds of things to make sure that this is
a happy, healthy baby and this family grows the way
that it should. For just twenty eight dollars, you can
help save the life of an unborn child. One hundred
percent of your donation goes to saving lives. To donate,
(33:49):
dial pound two fifty say the keyword baby. That's pound
two five zero say the keyword baby, or go to
preborn dot com slash buck that's preborn slash b u

Speaker 3 (34:04):
Out with the guys on the Sunday Hang with Clay
and Buck podcast.
Speaker 1 (34:09):
A new episode of Every Sunday.
Speaker 3 (34:11):
Find it on the iheartapp or wherever you get your podcasts.
Speaker 2 (34:14):
Welcome back in Clay Travis Buck Sexton Show.
Speaker 1 (34:17):
You never know what information you might get.
Speaker 2 (34:21):
Buck, you asked about the weather the Crack research team
on staff. Here here are the coldest inauguration days in
the last fifty years. Barack Obama nine to twenty eight degrees.
There are not very many that are under thirty. Ronald
(34:42):
Reagan eighty five when they moved it indoors seven degrees
je pretty brutal compared especially to his first inauguration, when
it was fifty five degrees, which is super warm for DC.
Speaker 1 (34:55):
On that day. John F.
Speaker 2 (34:57):
Kennedy, your boy here the History NERD remembered, well, it
was twenty two degrees on JFK's inauguration, and Franklin Roosevelt
in forty one it was twenty nine degrees, so by
and large the temperature being in the twenties. Grover Cleveland,
(35:17):
interestingly the first and only president prior to Trump to
come back and win reelection. For his second inauguration, it
was twenty five degrees. U Listenes s Grant back in
eighteen seventy three buck sixteen degrees. He lived through the
Civil War. I think he could handle a little bit
of cold. But it's pretty cool. You can go all
(35:38):
the way back. Remember they used to have the ceremonies
in March and then in April, so the weather changes
compared to January. But there's your context for how many
under thirty relatively rare Reagan, it was seven degrees. And Trump,
for those of you just tuning in right now, has
decided to move it indoors.
Speaker 1 (35:56):
And if you're thinking about the cold in a way
to beat it, a coffee is that's the way to go.
I'm gonna be giving Clay his trucker hat. I've got
some of the trucker hats that are now available on
Crocketcoffee dot com. Go please subscribe. A great time to
get started in the new year with a new coffee,
and ten percent of our profits goes to Tunt the Towers.
About a thousand of you have become subscribers, used code
(36:18):
book and been able to get yourself a signed copy
of Clay's American Playbook. So I think this is a
great time to continue with that tradition. Go use Codebook,
get a signed copy of American Playbook, become a subscriber
to Crocket Coffee and you will love it. It is delicious.
Trust us on that one. Their views that everyone's putting
up on the site speaks for themselves, and it's what
(36:39):
I'm bringing some with me, because you know, I can't
trust any of that communist swell they've gotten the People's
Republic of DC. I don't know what sort of left
wing bruised they're going to be throwing at me.
Speaker 2 (36:48):
You know what's gonna happen now, somebody's going to snap
a photo of us drinking coffee and it's star scandal
in DC somewhere.
Speaker 1 (36:53):
Of course, I'm drinking a mint, a mint latte or something. Yeah,
I understand.
Speaker 2 (36:59):
I saw somebody ordering the other day the what's the
thing that they start to add all the time in
the fall, the spice lata pumpkin spice lattes everywhere, And
I don't know how you can trust a man that
you see ordering the pumpkins. I'm very popular with with
flute players who wear turtlenecks.
Speaker 1 (37:16):
I'm just telling that's right in spice Latt.
Speaker 2 (37:18):
But I am going downstairs right now to put Crockett
coffee in my travel bag so that we have it
in our Washington, DC location as we get ready for
the inauguration of Trump. This is the final show that
we will do with Joe Biden as the President of
the United States. I mean that is a reason for
(37:39):
celebration itself. We'll be live with you at noon with
Trump taking the oath on Monday, but I thought we
could have some fun with saying bye to Biden when
we return. Thanks for hanging with us here on Clay
and Buck
