In Hour 2 of the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show, the hosts dive deep into the cultural and political firestorm surrounding actress Sydney Sweeney, whose recent American Eagle ad has sparked intense debate. The hour centers on Sweeney’s emergence as a conservative icon, highlighting her registered Republican status, Florida residency, and public enthusiasm for firearms, including footage of her at a tactical gun range. The hosts argue that her traditional beauty, hourglass figure, and blonde hair have made her a target of left-wing criticism, which they frame as part of a broader anti-beauty and anti-white agenda driven by woke ideology.


The conversation critiques the left’s attempt to redefine beauty standards, suggesting that men universally appreciate beauty across ethnicities and that biological attraction is rooted in evolutionary traits. They also explore the impact of influencers, social media pressure on young women, and the cultural shift among Gen Z Republicans, especially young men.


The hour features commentary on Bill Maher’s satirical take on the controversy, a discussion of Nazism analogies in modern discourse, and a critique of historical illiteracy in woke narratives. The hosts also touch on crime statistics, emphasizing the need for aggressive policing in minority communities to combat black-on-black violence, and they argue that defunding police has led to increased deaths in vulnerable neighborhoods.


President Donald Trump’s endorsement of Sweeney’s ad is highlighted as a pivotal moment, with the hosts noting a 24% spike in American Eagle’s stock following his support. They contrast this with the fallout from woke advertising campaigns by brands like Bud Light and Jaguar, framing Sweeney’s unapologetic stance as a cultural turning point.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right, second hour Clay and Buck kicks off right now.
Thanks for being here with us, everybody, So Clay Sidney Sweeney.
It's getting a lot of attention, a lot of attention,
and not just from the avid readers and fans of
OutKick World and other places, but from the President himself.

(00:24):
Sydney Sweeney is a cultural and American phenomenon. In this moment,
you some of you, I think the guys and a
lot of ladies. But the guys listening are familiar, familiar
with her work. You could say she is on billboards.

(00:44):
She has been in some TV shows and movies. I
haven't really seen anything she's in other than what is
that called White Lotus. That's the only thing I think.

Speaker 2 (00:54):
You can't see anyone but you or whatever that show
was called with Glenn Powell. That was not an awful
romantic comedy. I did not see it, but perhaps I
shall now because we learned some very interesting things about
miss Sweeney over the course of the weekend. They have
done a deep dive into or of course, they're trying
to find out as much as they can in the

(01:15):
hopes of trying to trash her brand. Now because being blonde,
blue eyed and having a buxom figure is something that
the left wing democrats.

Speaker 1 (01:25):
I saw somebody I think it was Clay in the
maybe it was the Free Press, some analysis somebody wrote
about how it wokeness wasn't about expanding the concept of
beauty beyond a very specific either background or ethnicity, archetype
or whatever. It was actually about making beauty not a thing.

(01:46):
You were not allowed to celebrate beauty, Like I said,
because for all time, guys, one of the areas where
there's actually a tremendous amount of inclusivity is men like
beautiful women of all background on ethnicities, all you know
that that is a common, overwhelmingly thing around the way.

Speaker 2 (02:05):
I have argued for a long time, and I think
it's actually some I think it take it as a positive.
I don't think most men see race. I think they
see hot or not. I think most heterosexual men by
and large are attracted to women of all different backgrounds.
Biologically kind of makes some sense, right, but but I

(02:28):
think most men white, Black, Asian, Hispanic. Doesn't mean you
might not have a preference. People might like blondes, they
might like tall girls. You know, there's all sorts of specifics.

Speaker 1 (02:39):
But but you know, in her in her heyday, I
mean you could find any number. You know, some people
are big Samahayak fans, some people are big Tyra Banks fans.
Some but there's a general understanding that these are these
are physically beautiful and gifted females.

Speaker 2 (02:56):
And by the way, this is also important. And because
they tried to say, hey, men are just being culturally told.
You remember this argument, You're just being culturally told by
Western civilization what you should find detractive, and this is
something that you're being propagandized with. And then they actually

(03:18):
studied men all around the world, and they found out
men all around the world basically like the same things.
And to a large extent, defending men here to a
large extent, it is a function of biology. That is
young healthy women, blonde haired women. For instance, our glass figure.
Now we get scientists clay, we get finance clay. Now

(03:41):
we have scientists clay. Look, I am fascinated by evolutionary
biology because by and large biology doesn't fail. The reason
why men are attracted to our glass figures, this is
one hundred percent true, is because women with our glass figures,
historically are more likely to have successful childbirth wide hips

(04:03):
like that all of this is true. Okay, I think
you could probably think for breastfeeding purposes, larger breast babies,
tended healthy women tended to be able to handle breastfeeding
and handle women have handled childbirth better. All of this
is biology. All of this is basic biology. Everybody wants

(04:24):
to act like, oh, this is just something that you've been,
that they've y But that's the essential point. Convinced is
that is that the woke female ad thing the changes
that were being made, it wasn't. Let's expand so that
there are more because there have been you know, McLay
and I grew up in the era, a lot of

(04:45):
you know what I'm talking about, grew up in the
air of the Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue. There have been
ladies of all different hair colors, ladies of all different
skinned colors. That this has been the deal for a
very long time. There's nothing new with any of that.
But there are certain biological realities.

Speaker 1 (05:01):
That they tended to share. I don't have to get into,
you know, it's a family show. I don't have to
get into too much of the specifics here for the
young ones who are listening, you know, we all, we
all know what I'm talking about. Or for the younger generation,
you know, they're they're aware of this as well. But Clay,
there was an effort to make beauty a thing that
we no longer were allowed to celebrate and appreciate. That's
really what the left of the Democrats were doing. And

(05:22):
and I think anybody who's been paying attention to it
has seen that this is a moment where it is exposed.
Now there's a there's an anti white agenda that is
at work with the Sydney Sweeney controversy, such as it
shouldn't be a controversy, but they've made it one. And
then there's also the anti general beauty agenda. Trump spoke
out on this, so now the President's involved everybody. That's

(05:44):
why it's news. We're not just two guys sitting here
talking about a lady who has a nice, nice appearance.
Trump spoke play cut two here about her American Eagle
ad publican who was she's a registered Republican. Oh now,

(06:05):
I love her head?

Speaker 3 (06:07):
Is that right?

Speaker 2 (06:07):
As Sidney Sweeney, you'd be surprised at how many people
are Republicans.

Speaker 1 (06:12):
That's what I wouldn't have known. But I'm glad you told.

Speaker 4 (06:15):
Me that if Sydney Sweeney is a registered Republican, I think.

Speaker 1 (06:20):
Her head is fantastic. Really, there you go, blessed from
the top from Trump himself. Uh and and I would
just say, Clay, there's also video. You know. It's funny.
I was at the gun range this weekend. Not as
exciting for the guys listening as Sidney Sweeney was also
at the gun range at some point, and there's video
of it. She's at the Terror I believe that the

(06:41):
Tarran Tactical Range out in California, which is where Keanu
Reeves trains for the John Wick movies, pretty well known.
Tarn himself is a well known guy in the gun world.
And and she's moving around hitting steel with a pistol
doing doing a nice job. So, Clay, we found out
that Sydney Sweeney attacked by the left, hated for being
an active Republican, registered Republican in Florida, and likes guns,

(07:05):
or at least it's willing to go shooting and have
video of herself taken the lefts the heads are exploding
all over the place. She's leaning into this, which is
exactly the right move.

Speaker 2 (07:14):
I love her balls I said balls figuratively speaking, because
there's several things about this. First of all, she's twenty
seven years old. She has as her primary residence the
state of Florida. She bought a beach compound style of
state I remember reading about it when when she bought it,
and she went and registered to vote, And when she

(07:37):
registered to vote in Florida, she registered as a Republican.
And some people out there are going to say, well,
whooped to do?

Speaker 1 (07:44):
Big deal.

Speaker 2 (07:45):
Let me ask you this, Can you name I started
off the show talking about this a little bit because
I said we were going to get into this. Can
you name a prominent twenty something in Hollywood that has
come out unabashedly as a republic And let me just say,
she didn't have to. And this is what you should
want someone who's in her twenties or his twenties to do.

(08:07):
You move to a new state, you actually care enough
about how the nation is going that you go and
register to vote in your new state. And as a
part of the state of Florida, evidently there's party registration.
Some states don't have this, some states do, and you
in order probably to vote in a primary, you would

(08:28):
know this better than me. Because I'm not a Floridian.
You can, I think, register as a Republican, Democrat, are independent,
there is party registration. In other words, where I live
in Tennessee, we do not have party registration. So you
can walk in on primary day and just say, hey,
I want to vote in the Democrat side or the
Republican side. And in fact, sometimes people go and sometimes,

(08:53):
as Rush has said with Project Chaos, sometimes people will
vote in the opposite side because they know who they're
nom he's going to be. But I give her immense
credit because she's smart. She had to know that at
some point in time somebody could look up her voter
registration file. Easy thing to do, Buck is just say
I'm not going to register. I'm an actress, I'm in Hollywood.

(09:16):
It doesn't benefit me for people to know that I
might be voting Trump, but instead or DeSantis for that matter. Instead,
she went and she registered as a Republican. And I
just think it's fabulous. I love I think this is
an important message and for those of you out there,
so I don't care about what look having people in
their twenties who are being outspoken in any way about

(09:39):
being Republicans. I think is important in the culture because
I think it starts to create more space for others
to also say, hey, we don't have to agree on everything.
And by the way, I'm a Republican in what is
a monolithic, in many ways public Hollywood arena.

Speaker 1 (09:55):
I also think that democrats have realized that the position
that was the position that wokeness was taking on this
issue of female beauty was both untenable or rather was untenable, unpopular,
and also dishonest. I used to see this, and you've

(10:15):
seen this too clear. You would have women who would
who themselves were very you know, physically esthetically pleasing, who
will go around preaching about how, oh you know, body
like the body positivity movement. Yeah, you know, there wasn't
that much of this, but you see a little bit
of this. There's a hypocrisy involved in this because on

(10:39):
the one hand, you have people that are telling you, oh,
you know, you know, beautiful at any size and these
things that started to be said. On the other hand,
the second that they want to get a role or
they you know, they're trying to get in the best
shape possible and they're trying to be as competitive in
the dating and the mating market as possible. It's like
women who tell other women this is always the this

(10:59):
is always the thing. And you know what I'm gonna say,
Women who think that their fellow ladies are their friend
and they're like, yeah, all that long hair that you
have that your husband or you know your husband loves
or your boyfriend, just chop it all off. Just They've
actually done studies of this, and this behavior they believe
is psychologically driven by female competitive competitiveness over dating and

(11:22):
mating's they if a woman views you as also attractive
for some reason, maybe it's subconscious, she's gonna tell you,
oh yeah, chop off all your hair. Because men never
approve of this behavior. They're never like, you know what,
chop all your hair off, go with the go with
the like marine crew cut, look for me, please. That's
not actually appealing to men. And the same thing was

(11:44):
true a body positivity built on a lot of people
lying about this, a lot of people saying, oh, yeah,
you know, I think that people are beautiful. It's like, really,
because now you're taking ozepic and you've lost fifty pounds
and you were pretending before, right, you know, these these
influencer and these people. You'll see clay people online who
will freak out on anybody who says men men or

(12:05):
women who say that calories in, calories out.

Speaker 2 (12:07):
Matters, like this is just a delusion. I yes, And
I think it's all connected to trying to take away beauty. Yeah,
and this is big picture, but I mean, I think
you can look at the way that communist structures are
often built, the modern style of architecture. It's ugly, right,

(12:32):
If you walk around and you see classical architecture, Greek
Roman designs beautiful, it's majestic. Very often, it's not I
think you said last week, it's not a surprise that
if you go look at the nudes of ancient Greece
and ancient Rome, the bodies are very attractive, right, And
and I think that that aspirational goal. Look, I went

(12:56):
today for my physical and I had to stand and
you stood on those body measurement devices where they like
register your fatten, and I was like lower, lower, you know,
like you want to be in better shape, you want
to be more physically, uh, you know, in shape.

Speaker 1 (13:12):
At the we've tried to make it everybody should try
to be the healthiest, strongest, best version of themselves. There's
a whole other rant I can go on. And I
know about this because I live in South Florida. Of
all these people that are influencers who are lying to you,
and they're all taking steroids, including some of the women,
by the way, all taking all I mean, they're all
lying to you. That's a whole other conversation. The reality

(13:34):
is everybody should seek, whether you're twenty five or eighty five,
be the healthiest, best, strongest version of yourself. And that's
the goal that everyone the same way, you want to
be the smartest and best, well and most well read
version of yourself.

Speaker 2 (13:50):
I also think for the Sydney Sweeney angle bringing it
back home here, I think that we've seen a lot
of young men move into the Republican camp. I think
men have been leading that charge. They're less concerned with
what others say about them. I think a lot of
twenty something women and teenage women are desperately afraid of
what people say about them on social media. So having

(14:12):
someone brave like Sidney Sweeney who was saying, hey, I'm
gonna make the right choices as I see it, I
think there are other young women that will see her
and have a little bit more courage maybe to speak
out than they otherwise would have.

Speaker 1 (14:25):
We also have massive data sets now stretching over many,
many years of what people actually like and what including women,
by the way, when it comes to men, what they
find attractive, and all these people who tell you I
don't care, and they're all led to you. Everybody has
things that they find attractive. And that's short men. Ask
bald shortmen on dating apps. Sorry, I wasn't going to

(14:47):
go any bald short My bald short kings out there.
We're here for you, all right. You know you find
those guys.

Speaker 2 (14:53):
You know, they have to work way harder because lots
of women are eliminating them. Men like by and large
hour glass figures. They know what they like, pretty faces, right.
But I mean, I think this whole idea that that
we've been sold, which is a bill of goods, like, hey,
be fat men are gonna love you not as much sadly.

Speaker 1 (15:15):
Yes, it's hard to believe, but home invasion happens all
the time. You saw that Sydney Sweeney video. A lot
of you, right, and she's moving around well with that pistol.
But some of you either already have firearms in the
home and want to have a non lethal option, or
you're just more comfortable non lethal and given the amount
of home invasions that happen across the country, given the
realities of having to possibly defend yourself your family in

(15:37):
your home, I want you to check out the products
that Saber has because if you're looking for non lethal
so you have that force escalation possibility, Saber is simply
the best in the business. They're pepper sprays, pepper gels,

Welcome back in Play Travis buck Sexton Show Heidi in Fresno, California.

Speaker 1 (16:39):
What you got for us?

Speaker 4 (16:41):
Yeah, I wanted to say, not only are do men
like looking at beautiful women, straight women like looking at
beautiful women as well. So kudos to Sydney and her ad.
I think it's amazing.

Speaker 1 (16:55):
Thank you.

Speaker 2 (16:56):
That's a great point. It's not even just win women.
There's never ugly people that sell products male or female. Well,
but if you look at even also the women's magazines,
which have kind of fallen away, but there's always women
on the covers, right This women aspirationally, you know, looking
at other women and they're you know, for the health tips,

(17:19):
beauty tips, all that stuff. And this is this is biology,
and biology wins. The left can try to convince everybody
that we are cogs in some machine and it's just
all like we're all just little piles.

Speaker 1 (17:31):
Of goop that can be interchanged with each other and
have people that are in charge. No, people are going
to be attracted to what they're attracted to. It is like,
as I said, you know, there was that movement for
a while to even say you should be attracted as
a straight guy to trans women like this doesn't work.
It's fundamentally running into the realities of biology.

Speaker 2 (17:50):
Yeah, and look for the male perspective. There's a reason
why superheroes are bigger, stronger, faster than average men, because
men aspire to be bigger, stronger, faster than they are.
And this is why athletes are by far so popular
because they represent that for most men, don't be caught

(18:54):
into Clay and Buck.

Speaker 1 (18:55):
We'll take some calls coming up here momentarily. Eight hundred
two eight A two. Also, oh, the talkbacks. We love
talkbacks here, we love them. We're taking a look. We're
gonna look at that. Talkbacks are fantastic. You know how
to do that. Go to the iHeartRadio app, the best
audio app out there. Iheartradiou and get that's free. You
download it. You go to the Clay en Buck page.

(19:16):
You click subscribe on the podcast. Obviously you gotta do that.
And then also you send us by pressing the little
microphone a talkback. It's fun. It's like a throwback to
when we all used to have voice voicemail. Remember, I
guess people I feel like people don't do voicemail really
anymore now. In fact, a lot of people find voicema now,
not with talkbacks. Those are awesome. Send us all the

(19:38):
talkbacks you want. But Clay, if someone leaves a voice
message for you, I feel like I only get voice
messages from telemarketers now, or or people that want you know,
they want to buy something or sell something or whatever.
It's always a business transaction. It's kind of how I
feel about old school mail. Nothing good ever comes from
me an old school mail, except for maybe a wedding invite,

(19:58):
and even though it's a lot of the time, I
could do without. But that's another conversation.

Speaker 2 (20:02):
Well, it's also tough because inevitably you'll get a voicemail
and be somewhere where you don't have good reception. And
I'm always like, well, this must be really serious if
somebody left me a voicemail for it, right, it's the
doctor calling to give you some you know, like I
went today and got my blood work done. It feels
like hospitals doctors maybe call you to give you medical results. Otherwise,

(20:25):
maybe people who just don't text. Really, I would say
people who are who are senior citizens more likely than not,
because otherwise, just shoot me a quick text and I'll,
you know, be able to respond as best as best
I can.

Speaker 1 (20:41):
Yeah, Texting is generally my preferred method of communication as well.
We have Bill Maher who weighed in here's a prediction.
H Clay in twenty twenty six is gonna be on
Bill Marshown. I'm gonna I think I'm banned.

Speaker 2 (20:58):
I think I'm banned because it's owned by the same
company as CNN, because I've never been invited, and I
see some of the guests that they have on there.
They go pretty far down sometimes the food chain of
I know, I know a guy, I know a guy.
We're gonna We're gonna make this happen.

Speaker 1 (21:13):
I would love that's what. We're gonna get you unbanned.
That would be fun. We're gonna get you unbanned because
I think you're right. I think the corporate policy there
probably crosses over. We're gonna get you unbanned and make
this happen. But anyway, Bill Maher spoke out on the
Sydney Sweeney thing, and look, I think Bill has some
penance to do because he was part of the woke

(21:33):
mob for a while. I've not forgotten this, but he
if we're going to keep the door. Look you got
Tolci Gabbard ran for president as a Democrat and now
she's Trump's d and I and she's doing a great job.
You gotta leave room for for penance and for a conversion. Right.
That's we want converts, we just want them to actually
be converts. Now, Bill Maher is not a convert. To
be clear, he's good on some issues, and he's generally

(21:54):
willing to talk to people even that he disagrees with,
which separates him from most Democrats. And I have respect
for that, and I appreciate the way that he is
reasonable to conservatives like me who come on his show.
That's why I think it'd be worth it for Claty
go on, and like I said, I think we'll make
that happen next year. But here he is on Sydney
Sweeney Play three.

Speaker 5 (22:12):
She talks about the fact that she has blue eyes,
and then she says, I have great jeans, you know,
because she's wearing jeans. But according to the woke people,
this means that she's a white supremacist. It also doesn't
help that her brass eye is thirty six KKK. I
will say this, they should have been aware when they
wrote this ad that this is what some people were

(22:35):
going to think. I don't think they did it on purpose,
but I also I think it's pretty funny that all
the online social justice girls are like, it's racist, there's
no such thing as good jeans, right, and then you
go on tender and swipe left on every bold guy.

Speaker 1 (22:50):
Can I just say, first of all, the swipe at
our friend Jesse Kelly was unnecessary and hurtful. Okay, unnecessary
and hurtful. And second of all, I think Clay that
that's exactly the point here is that everybody, everybody knows
that the whiny voices online that are saying things like
oh I you know feld On, no one even cares

(23:11):
about beautiful women, or this won't sell, or this is racist,
no one actually believes that, really unless you're completely brainwashed
and living in another another reality and alternate reality.

Speaker 2 (23:21):
I just also think that everybody talks about genes all
the time, ge n e s and not in a
hit larian eugenics fashion, but just in hey, look at
your kids. Oh you got grandpa's eye color, Oh you
got you know grandma's you know, curly hair. I mean,

(23:45):
this is something that every single family, white, black, Asian
and Hispanic sits around and talks about all the time.
So trying to make the callback to eugenics. Part of
this fuck is just so many people are historically illiterate
that everything has to be analogized to Nazism, right, I mean,

(24:09):
the only thing we can all agree that it was
bad is Nazism. Meanwhile, not that Nazism isn't bad, It
is very bad, MAO. Great famine, forty to sixty million
killed as a function of state policies, Stalin, millions liquidated
in the Purge Cambodia, the highest number of people per

(24:30):
capita killed in any communy. I mean, I'm just saying
I would like it if people would know about more
of the horrible things that collectivist ideology has done in
the last one hundred or so years.

Speaker 1 (24:39):
But yes, Nazism very bad.

Speaker 2 (24:41):
And what are the odds that something you don't like
today is actually synonymous with the worst thing that's happened
in one hundred years in the world. Even if you
accept that Nazism is the worst thing that has ever
happened in the history of humanity, which, by the way,
you could run think a lot of awful things right

(25:02):
again the historical analogy, as lots of awful things have happened.
But even if you presume, let's just say it, the
Nazis are the worst people that have ever lived.

Speaker 1 (25:10):
In the history of the world.

Speaker 2 (25:11):
What are the odds that somebody having a different opinion
than you in America today is actually reflective of Nazi
ideology would be.

Speaker 1 (25:20):
Really low, right.

Speaker 2 (25:22):
I mean, if you think that Nazism is the worst
thing that's ever happened in the history of the world,
someone in America arguing against you on a political issue
is probably unlikely to mirror Nazi ideology. As we have
said on this program for some time, I don't even
know a white supremacist. We talk about white supremeacy.

Speaker 1 (25:40):
I've never met I've never met one, actually never actually
been in the same proximity with them.

Speaker 2 (25:45):
Yeah, I And so we talk about this huge, supposedly
dangerous ideology that's sweeping across America, and yet most of
you out there listening right now can't even name a
white supremacist. And certainly when they go to David Duke,
which is when I was a kid, when David Duke exists,
they can even point to someone in the twenty first

(26:07):
century who is a strong political leader that it would
even embrace or endorse a sentilla of white supremacy. And
so this whole idea that they would try to connect
Sidney Sweeney to it, I think is just falling so
flat flat, And I think this country actually became so

(26:28):
it actually went so far from what they're when they
talk about white supremacy and racism.

Speaker 1 (26:33):
It went so far in the other direction that it
was considered wrong for you to say, as a white person, hey,
I don't think it's fair that people of certain other
skin colors are going to get into college or get
this job instead of me, who are less qualified by
the numbers that we all use. For these reasons, you
weren't allowed to really say that, oh, until the Supreme
Court finally came down and said, you know what, this
is wrong. You can't do that anymore. And now the

(26:56):
Trump administration is enforcing that, which is going to take time.
But that's how you want racism in this country. That's
a component of racism that we're still dealing with today,
which is making racial designations or discrimination in favor of
certain groups at the expense of others. That's still racism.

(27:16):
It actually is still racism. People cannot like that, but
it's true.

Speaker 2 (27:21):
Well, I think this also ties in and I would
say this is a positive. The Overton window has expanded,
by which I mean the things that you can actually discuss.
You'll remember this. This was really controversial for me to say,
and people got so mad at me on social media.
During BLM, I said, well, yeah, you know, I don't
want black people to get killed by police. But then

(27:42):
when you go back and look at the stats, seventy
five percent of people shot and killed by police or Asian,
Hispanic or white, and you weren't allowed to even say that.

Speaker 1 (27:51):
And most mostly white. By the way, it was mostly white.
I think I think r plurality was what yeah, like,
go ahead.

Speaker 2 (27:57):
So you go back, you actually look at the data
and say, okay, if you want to have a conversation
about police use of force, what we should talk about
not just black police use of force, we should talk
about white, Asian, Hispanic. That's actually a way to unite
the country. The other part of this was people said, well,
we've got to stop all of the people who are
victims of black violence. Then you look at black violence

(28:18):
and you say, well, you realize something like ninety five
percent of all black violence is black people perpetrating against
other black people, right, yep. And so when you're only
focusing on white on black violence, you're actually eliminating ninety
five percent or higher of the violence that black people face.
And then you take a step further and you say, hey,
black people are twelve or thirteen percent of the population,

(28:40):
and they actually commit over half of all murders. The
vast majority of the people they murder are black. If
you really want to end murder, which by the way,
I'm in favor of, I wish we could have a
zero murder rate in the country.

Speaker 1 (28:54):
Brave, very brave stand from Clay anti murder today.

Speaker 2 (28:57):
I hate murder more than anybody in the country. I
am anti murder more than you are. The only way
to address murder is to actually stop the people who
are committing the murders from doing it. And if you
did that, what would that mean? That would mean that
you would need aggressive policing in minority communities where murder

(29:19):
is far more likely and where young black men are
overwhelmingly the victims of other young black men when it
comes to murder. What did they do for BLM Buck
They said police shouldn't be able to do their jobs
anymore because they're racist.

Speaker 1 (29:32):
What happened?

Speaker 2 (29:33):
Thousands of black kids got killed that would otherwise be
alive today if cops have been able to do their jobs.

Speaker 1 (29:39):
This is because it was lies. Pile the top lies,
pile the top lies. The whole thing was a lies
lies lives. When people are lying to you, there's a problem.
And when they lie to you about police violence against
black people, when they lie to you about black on
black crime, and they lie to you about these things,
you know there's a problem. When they lie to you
about whether or not women are whether beautiful women are
something that society desires and celebrate. It's in general there's

(30:01):
a problem. And President Trump agrees Clay. He just weighed in.
He just weighed in on truth social on Sidney Sweeney,
Oh he didn't really, Well, this is going to take
it to the next level. Sidney Sweeney, a registered Republican,
has the hottest ad out there. It's for American Eagle
and the jeans are flying off the shelves. Go get him, Sydney.
On the other side of the Ledger, Jaguar did a

(30:23):
stupid and seriously woke advertisement that is a total disaster.
The CEO just resigned and disgrace. The company's an absolute turmoil.
Who wants to buy a Jaguar after looking at that
disgraceful ad? Shouldn't they have learned a lesson from bud Light,
which went woke and essentially destroyed in a short campaign.
The company the market cap destruction has been unprecedented, with
billions of dollars foolishly lost. Look at woke singer Taylor Swift.

(30:46):
Ever since I alerted the world as to what she
was by saying the truth that I can't stand her hate,
she was booed out of the super Bowl, it became
no longer hot. I'm hoping this is real. By the way,
even if it's fake, it's brilliant. The tide is seriously turned.
Being woke as for losers, being Republican is what you
want to be. Thank you for your attention in this matter. Again,

(31:06):
it could be it could be a fake Trump tweet.
Let me check. But even if it's fake, it's capturing
the zeit guy. So there you have it. Let me see.
I'll wait.

Speaker 2 (31:15):
You know you look at that right now. We know
the comments that we played for you earlier of him
by Air Force one were true.

Speaker 1 (31:22):
Trump is so.

Speaker 2 (31:25):
Plugged into the culture that many of these things sound
like something Trump will say, Yeah, I checked, it's real.

Speaker 1 (31:31):
Sorry, I'm very excited. Now go ahead.

Speaker 2 (31:34):
American Eagle stock, by the way, is up twenty four
percent today alone in the wake of the President's statement,
and also many people wining up to support Sidney Sweeney.
So again this is going to take it to the
next level. But all of this started because maybe we

(31:57):
need to go grab Greg Will you go grab the
Good Morning America clip that we played where they had
the eugenics exp First of all, who makes a living
as a eugenics expert today? Can you imagine? What do
you do for a living while I work at a nonprofit?
What do you study eugenics one hundred years ago? How
are you a eugenics expert today? Anyway, we'll play that ad, sorry,

(32:21):
that news story reacting to the ad when we come back.
But Trump has just taken it, as he often does,
to the next level.

Speaker 1 (32:30):
Because of you and so many other generous people. Preborn
has rescued over thirty eight thousand unborn babies this year.
These babies most likely would never have been brought into
this world if their mothers have been left to make
the choice that can so often lead to abortion. But
Preborn is on the front lives, saving lives. Vulnerable women
who are pregnant are put in these situations. They're getting

(32:52):
pressure from their partner, their boyfriend, their husband, their family,
and Preborn is there to stay hold on second, let's
introduce you to that tiny baby with an ultrasound and
let's let you know that you're gonna have support. If
you bring this baby into the world, You're not going
to be alone. That is the incredible godly mission that
Preborn is on day in and day out. For just

(33:13):
twenty eight dollars, you can introduce at risk babies to
their mothers through this ultrasound process. Twenty eight dollars, that's
all it takes to save a life today with Preborn,
And if you can, please consider a twenty eight dollars
monthly donation. It's one hundred percent tax deductible and a
gift of any amount will go directly towards saving babies
lives and Preborn's fantastic mission. Just dial pound two fifty

(33:36):
and say the keyword baby. That's pound two five zero
say baby, or go to preborn dot com slash buck
that's preborn dot com slash b u c K sponsored

Speaker 3 (33:49):
Two guys walk up to a mic Hey anything goes,
Clay Travis and Fucked Sex to find them on the
free iHeartRadio app or wherever you get your podcasts.

Speaker 2 (34:02):
Well Beckon Clay Travis Buck Sexton show the Trump spike
for American Eagle in conjunction with Sidney Sweeney. I'm sharing
the stock chart right now. I'm writing, look at the
Sidney Sweeney spike on American Eagle stock. I'm going to
let you commenters do your best work here to explain it,

(34:25):
because the comedy on this is going to be great.
But I do think that this is indicative of the
power of punching back for much of the last several years.
Do you know what would have happened here? American Eagle
would have apologized. Sidney Sweeney would have come out and apologize, said,

(34:46):
I'm so sorry that people were offended by my blue
jeans ad That's never my intent. And I think bud
Light changed this once and for all. I do think
people say, well, why do you care what beer people drink?
Conservatives shouldn't.

Speaker 1 (35:02):
I still get this.

Speaker 2 (35:03):
Conservatives shouldn't get involved in the marketplace. Why do you
want to dictate what the name of the Washington football
team is?

Speaker 1 (35:11):
Because they'll do it if we don't.

Speaker 2 (35:14):
Because if you just sit back and say, let markets
work and don't let your voice be heard, then bud
Light decides, hey, we can do anything let's put a
trans influencer in front of a beer can. And men
were the first ones to say, we're over this BS,
and I'm gonna keep talking. I think we can have
a big conversation about this in the next hour. Because men,

(35:37):
by and large, on the trans universe, women who pretend
to be men tend to in general be weak looking men.
They just they're women who are deciding that they're now
going to identify as men. Most men do not aspire
to look like that. Women were too kind on this.

(36:00):
The men who pretend to be women do not buy
in large look like women. They look like men pretending
to be women, and women's I think welcoming nature and
kindness has been taking advantage here, whereas men were just like, nah,
we're not gonna roll with this, We're not going to
allow it. We'll play that Good Morning America ad for you.
When we get back, we'll have some fun. Maybe you

(36:22):
disagree with us. You can also come in and tee
off on me for saying, Hey, I think men kind
of like women's bodies across all races. You all know,
like this is BS that they've been trying to sell.
But maybe you disagree. Maybe you think that the society
has changed what men think about women. We'll have fun
conversations about this. All that and more Third Hour coming

(36:44):
up next. In the meantime, go sign up for Crocket
