Hour 2 of the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show dives into a wide-ranging and provocative discussion centered on vaccine mandates, medical freedom, and cultural politics, with a strong emphasis on parental rights and skepticism toward the healthcare establishment. The hosts begin by spotlighting Florida’s move to eliminate all vaccine mandates under Surgeon General Dr. Joseph Ladapo and Governor Ron DeSantis, framing it as a major win for medical autonomy and personal liberty. They criticize the COVID-era public health policies, especially mask mandates and vaccine coercion, calling out the authoritarian behavior of bureaucrats and airline staff.
Dr. Mehmet Oz joins the conversation, advocating for vaccine decisions to be made between doctors and patients, not dictated by government mandates. Clay and Buck reflect on their own parenting experiences, expressing concern over the increasing number of childhood vaccinations and questioning the pharmaceutical industry's influence. They discuss the rise in childhood allergies and illnesses, suggesting a link to overmedication and calling for a more holistic, risk-benefit approach to pediatric healthcare.
The hosts also revisit the failures of Obamacare, citing the Oregon Medicaid study which showed no significant improvement in health outcomes for Medicaid recipients. They argue that healthcare costs have skyrocketed without delivering better care, and they criticize the monopolistic nature of health insurance and cable companies, drawing parallels to past frustrations with service providers.
A major topic in Hour 2 is the potential policy shift under the Trump administration to restrict gun ownership for individuals undergoing transgender medical treatment. Clay and Buck explore the political implications, noting the tension between Second Amendment rights and mental health concerns. They highlight polling data showing strong support among their audience for such restrictions and discuss the possibility of reclassifying gender dysphoria as a mental health condition in the DSM.
The hour also features lighter segments, including listener talkbacks on movies, sports, and pop culture. Buck shares his disappointment with the film The English Patient, sparking humorous reactions and Seinfeld references. The hosts discuss the evolution of athleticism in tennis and golf, praising modern athletes' discipline and fitness. Buck gives an update on his personal tennis serve speed challenge, aiming to break 100 mph.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Second hour of play and Buck kicks off right now,
and let's talk about something that is guaranteed to not
stir up any controversies, vaccines. Let's have a vaccine discussion.
Shall we? We have some changes afoot thanks to RFK
Junior at AHHS, Florida Surgeon General Joseph Latipo and others
(00:25):
who are making moves and changing things up after what
we saw. In my opinion, and I think many share it,
you know, Clay shares, it was the absolute abdication of impartiality,
science based medicine and basic responsibility by the medical establishment
(00:46):
during COVID. And that was during the early days when
Trump was reliant on that on those agencies to act
the way that they were supposed to at some level,
and then during the Biden years where it just got
worse and crazier and more absurd. I just want to
(01:06):
tell you something that immediately annoys me is when anyone
says they did the best they can it was complicated, No,
absolutely unacceptable because they weren't arguing then they weren't arguing
we need a vaccine mandate because things are complicated and
we're not sure, but we think that this makes sense
(01:28):
given they were saying, shut your face, I don't want
to hear it. You're not allowed to go to church.
You're allowed to go buy weed, but get the vax,
or you lose your job, get the shot, or you
can't go to a restaurant. We know what's true here,
we know what the facts are. They did that and
then they were wrong on top of it. It is unforgivable.
There is no excuse for it. And people in the
(01:50):
medical profession who pushed this and went along with this,
they'd be ashamed of themselves. The air online attendants who
were enforcing you know, masking at their win. That one,
in some ways was the absolute worst, like they act.
There were people, and I know this has happened to me.
There are people who thought, you know what, I'm gonna
go up to someone out. Your mask has been off
your face while you're eating a little too long. I'm
(02:11):
gonna tell you to please cover up. Think about the mentality.
I mean, these are the people the Soviets used as
prison guards in the Gulag. They enjoy the little thrill
of power and harassing other people. There's something deeply wrong
inside of them. They didn't have to do it. I
mean that's the case. I always go to Clay because
you could have just not been a psycho and said, Okay,
(02:31):
they're eating I'm I'm gonna let them eat their food.
You know that's within the rules. But no no mask
up between bites. Sure you're taking a little too long,
could you mask up between bites? The people who did
that should forever hang their heads in shame because they're
morons and their sheep, and they're the reason that there
are totalitarianisms that still exist to this day, to this
(02:51):
day around the world. Unfortunately. In fact, the second large
i mean the second largest country in the world is
a totalitarian dictatorship. So what does that tell you? Now,
let's get into the pushback against the madness here. First
of all, Florida Surgeon General, Harvard trained doctor Joseph Latipoe
spoke about ending the vaccine mandates in this state, the
(03:12):
great State of Florida under Ron DeSantis, a stewardship a
fantastic place play fourteen.
Speaker 2 (03:19):
The Florida Department of Health, in partnership with the governors,
is going to be working to end all vaccine mandates in.
Speaker 1 (03:28):
Florida, La, all of them.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
All of them, every last one of them. Every last
one of them is wrong and drips with disdain and slavery.
Who am I as a government or anyone else, or
who am I as a man standing here now to
tell you what you should put in your body? Who
(03:54):
am I to tell you what your child should put
in your body?
Speaker 3 (04:00):
Isn't that right?
Speaker 1 (04:01):
Claire and I also just just throw in there before
doctor Oz also, we're going to have them on today,
but we got Nicole Saffire on later. We needed to
bring some MD expert here. So here's doctor Oz against
vaccine mandates.
Speaker 4 (04:13):
I would definitely not have mandates for vaccinations. This is
a decision that a physician and a patient we be
making together. The parents love their kids more than anybody else.
I could love that kid, so why not let the
parents play an active role in this. There are some
states now we're seeing an increase in homeschooling because parents
are running from the healthcare system. They can't get healthcare
because doctors are unwilling to take the risk of taking
(04:35):
care of children who don't want vaccinations because it might
impact the way their practices are rumped. They should feel
pressure from the government to decide what to do with
the vaccination schedule. They should do what's the best interest
of the person in front of them, that states a child,
and what those parents desire. That's how the system is
supposed to run.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
The floor is yours, sir ah.
Speaker 5 (04:55):
This is one of those situations where, frankly, COVID may
me question a lot, and I bet there's a lot
of moms and dads out there that are the exact
same as me. I didn't question anything on the vaccine
schedule for my kids. I've got seventeen, fourteen, ten year
old boys. Obviously we haven't really been through the vaccine
(05:19):
process in a long time. But as soon as COVID happened,
I said, my kids are not getting the COVID shot,
and I was looking at the data. Thankfully they did
not get the COVID shot. I think that a lot
of parents out there who did get their COVID their
kid the COVID shot. Probably some of you are listening
to us now because you were still willing to go
(05:41):
along with the public health establishment. I have a lot
of questions about why we have the number of shots
that we give our kids now I do, and look,
I am not going to go through the buck you
now have got a baby boy that I remember thinking.
It seem like they get a lot of shots, more
(06:02):
shots than I got when I was a kid, more
shots than any of you out there in your thirties
or forties or fifties or sixties got.
Speaker 1 (06:10):
And I just look.
Speaker 5 (06:12):
Around, and I do feel like much of what RFK
Junior and the Maha moms are saying is true. It
feels to me like we have a lot more sick
kids now, a lot more allergies with kids, a lot
more public health issues with young kids now than we
(06:33):
used to. And I can tell you this, Claike, this
is an ongoing discussion in my house right now. And
we are doing both a slow a spread out in
the vaccine schedule as in, like yeah, taking time between them,
and also doing a a la carte system for the
(06:54):
vaccine system or the vaccine choices, as in, we have
a very good MD down here.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
Who was you know? Look, if you're going to be
my kid's doctor, I gotta tell you this, you better
not still have a mask up sign in your office,
which does still exist in some places. So this doc
lives in reality and lived in reality during COVID because
he was a Florida based doc. So he's really good.
But I'll just tell you this, I said, Doc. Kerry
(07:21):
and I were in the office and I said, okay,
so we can get this one shot, and there's another
shot that maybe we get and he basically was like, look,
you know, I was like, I don't think we need
to get that second vaccine. What do you think? He goes, no,
you don't need to get that one. That one, really,
I don't think. And then I said, okay, the first one, though,
what do you think about this one? He said, look,
I'll tell you this. He said, I've looked at the
safety profile for a long time. It's gotten even better
(07:43):
over the years based on what's in it. You know,
he's kind of a more holistic doc. And he said,
I'll tell you this. What this prevents. It basically is
for a form of pneumonia that babies gets. He said,
when I was doing my residency, it was actually in
New York. When he was doing his residency in New York,
babies would come every day and die from that. Yeah,
so he said this one, for this one, I would
(08:06):
advise it was still our choice. It was still our choice.
But those are the kind of conversations I think they need.
You know, it's a total risk benefit analysis. And you know,
not being told get this or you're not allowed to
go to school, or get this, or you're a bad person.
Speaker 5 (08:19):
I I just again, I think that there are a
lot of you know, they they turned anti vacs into
an insult. I actually think it is not Most people
are not anti vax on everything.
Speaker 3 (08:34):
One.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
Two.
Speaker 5 (08:37):
They have turned parents asking hey are my kids over
medicated into a design to attack you for asking questions.
And my general position as a parent, and I follow
this myself is I don't want to take anything. I
just like my wife makes fun of me. I don't
(08:59):
even like to take time, all right, Like I am
just a I would rather not put things into my
body if I don't have to, and let my immune
system work. I've never gotten the COVID shot. I'm glad
I never got the COVID shot. And you know, I
hope that I can be healthy and live to eighty
five ish. That's the number that's in my head where
(09:20):
I'm like, I'd like to make it to eighty five.
That feels like a good target. That would mean I
got about forty years left, and I want to ideally
deal with the medical system as little as I possibly can.
I'll give you an example, Buck, I was just talking
about this off air, and I'm going to give them
a plug here. I'm over, I'm forty six, and so
they say, hey, you need to get a colonoscopy, right, Like,
(09:43):
I don't want to go to the doctor and get anything.
I my wife has to get on me to go
get a physical. Like, I just don't want to go
to the hospital. I don't want anything. I did this
home colon guard thing. It seems like an amazing invention.
I sent off my samples, they review it, they say,
you're good. I don't have to spend two days getting
(10:04):
a colonoscopy.
Speaker 3 (10:05):
Right.
Speaker 5 (10:06):
I feel like we are over medicated. And I feel
like many parents out there feel this, and you're asking yourselves,
is it imperative that my six month old be stuck
up like a porcupine quill? I don't know that we
need to be doing it, particularly when all of these
drug companies, Again, this is important, all of these drug
(10:28):
companies need you sick in order to.
Speaker 1 (10:32):
Basically exist as companies.
Speaker 5 (10:33):
Now, I'm not maligning all drugs because Bucks pointed out, like, hey,
if you're super bipolar, you need treatment, right, Like, there
are lots of things out there where the drug companies
have done an amazing job helping people who otherwise would
not be able to exist in the larger society to exist.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
Or you know, if you don't want to have a
heart attack, you know, statins are really effective.
Speaker 5 (10:56):
If you gave me a magic wand and you just said, Clay,
you have the ability to do something for healthcare aside
from you know, hey, everybody lives healthy to be one hundred, right,
you know something like that. I think we could swipe
out kids in particular. I think we could swipe out
seventy five percent of all medical treatment on kids, and
I think kids would have maybe a better health outcome
(11:19):
than drugging them up like we have done. This is
the great unasked or unanswered, I should say, question in
the post Obamacare world, because really, what Obamacare was.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
It just made all of our healthcare more expensive to
subsidize some people, including illegals as we know, to pay
less for their health care. And it was a massive
Medicare oh sorry, Medicaid, Medicaid expansion. And the most thorough
it's called the Oregon Study, the most thorough randomized controlled
study of health care outcomes ever, for Medicaid patients showed
(11:52):
that having Medicaid or not having Medicaid made no difference
in actual health care outcomes, none, not discernible in the least. Yes,
So you say, well, we're all, what are you spending
all this money on? Where's all the money going? And
that's when you really start to see things. And you
know one of the failures of the failure of Obamacare
as a parent, but I just look at the costs
of the average healthcare premium over the last decade. Do
(12:15):
you think, are you getting better healthcare now? You are
absolutely not?
Speaker 3 (12:18):
Yea.
Speaker 1 (12:18):
And in fact, your healthcare premium has gone up one
hundred and fifty percent something like that on average. So yeah,
it was healthcare socialism everybody. They just did it in
a clever and creative way, including lying about it.
Speaker 5 (12:31):
What do you think the most hated company that everybody
has to deal with on a regular basis is it
used to be a cable company, which I know it
used to be the cable company, which I actually I
always thought the cable company think was good because it
showed you what it was a lesson in monopoly for
everybody because monopolies are bad. True monopolies are bad, and
they're only able to buy the state. My kids don't
(12:52):
believe this. I was telling them about it. I was like,
they were like, how did you used to get you know,
games on. I was like, well, we had to get
cable and they were like, well how does cable get
And I was like, we move into a new apartment
and the cable guy would be like, hey, I'm going
to show up at some point between eight pm and
six pm, and you basically.
Speaker 1 (13:08):
Eight am, eight am.
Speaker 5 (13:10):
He's liked, sorry, eight am and six like all day.
They didn't give give you like a couple of hours,
and they would say they would show up. You had
to sit there and wait for them.
Speaker 1 (13:16):
And if you were a show, you had to call
and say, pretty please, I'll bake you cookies come tomorrow
or the next like you were. They had you at
their mercy and that was reality.
Speaker 5 (13:28):
I remember one time when I was in college, pretty
girl down the hall. We were jealous, like how did
you get your cable hooked up already? And she was
like I put on a tank top when the cable
guy was walking down the hall and I was like, hey,
can I get you to come and like, yeah, cable guy.
Speaker 1 (13:43):
Yeah. Of course they called this the Sydney Sweeney effect. Yes,
cable guy go figure seis a pretty girl in the
tank top.
Speaker 5 (13:51):
He finds a way to get her cable hooked up.
It's not even a movie, although I've heard those kind
of movies of this. You'd be amazed what people can
find when it's time to move out of their family
home after years, even decades. We're going through the process
right now of moving out of my house and we
are taking all of the family photos off the bookshelves
everything else. We are stacking them up, and I am
(14:14):
thinking right now, even for relatively recent photos, man, we
really need to get these digitally preserved. Because my kids
were born first one in eight and that was before
everything had taken off. Necessarily you had the digital cameras
if you remember those days, but you still printed out
a lot of the photos, and a lot of those
(14:35):
early baby pictures for my son are not now digitized.
We need to take care of that. And you probably
have got those if you got kids around my age.
But you also got tons of photos from when you
were a kid, probably from when your parents were kids,
when even your grandparents were kids. Do you want to
preserve those forever and tournament into digital files. That's what
(14:56):
Legacy Box does. They hand transfer everything by hand, one
videotape at a time. I traveled down to Chattanooga, Tennessee,
saw their facility myself, saw how much care they take
with all of your family's memories, whether it's vhs, whether
it's eight millimeter film reels, whether it is old camera photos,
old school photos. They can preserve anything and turn it
(15:19):
into a digital file. And right now, during the summer,
right as summer's coming to a close, before the holiday
rush starts, you can get Legacy Box for fifty percent off.
All you have to do is go to legacybox dot com.

Speaker 5 (15:50):
Welcome back in Clay, Travis buck Sexton Show. Appreciate all
of you hanging out with us.
Speaker 1 (15:55):
Buck.
Speaker 5 (15:55):
People are riled up again. Mary Margaret Olahan At the
end of the last hour, I mentioned this idea that
the Department of Justice may be considering saying, if you're
getting trans treatment, you're in the so called redline area,
you're not able to buy a gun. And I put
up a poll question, tons of responses rolling in. I
(16:17):
bet we're getting a lot here too. Eighty percent of
people said, yeah, if you are getting trans treatment, medical care,
I don't think they should be able to buy guns. Now,
this is going to be interesting politically, right because our
Democrats suddenly going to support trans rights by saying trans
people should be able to buy guns, and are traditional
(16:39):
Second Amendment advocates going to say, you know what, given
the shootings in Minneapolis and the shootings in Nashville and
the drug treatments that I think may be partly involved
in this reaction, are like, the politics on this are
actually I think super kind of interesting.
Speaker 1 (16:58):
Well, if somebody told me that they were severely bipolar
and unmedicated, yeah, and and celebrated their bipolarity for example.
And by the way, I'm not trying to pick on that,
as it's a very serious illness. I've had friends who
have dealt with it. But I just am pointing out
and then they said, well Buck, I take people and
give them the basics at the gun range. Sometimes it's
something I do for friends and family. Would I would
(17:18):
I be like ifs again not, Hey, I'm medicated, I'm fine.
I'm somebody who says I have a serious mental illness
and I choose not to get any treatment for it.
In fact, I celebrate my mental illness. What I want
to stand next to them at a shooting range. That
that's that's a tough that's a tough ask. I think, yes,
being honest with you as somebody who goes to the
shooting range with regularity, you know, or if somebody even
(17:40):
told me, you know, I'm a paranoid schizophrenic and I
refuse to take any treatment for it. Let's go shooting tomorrow,
that would feel weird. Does that make me a bad person?
I don't think so. I think that just makes me reasonable.
But that's where things That's where this discussion, I think
is going to go very quickly.
Speaker 3 (17:57):
You know.
Speaker 5 (17:57):
It's a question whether someone's being treated or not. Yeah,
And we'll talk about this a little bit more when
we come back. In the meantime, if you're running a business,
you want to be able to connect with all your employees,
especially if they're spread out. Cell Phones can work, but
sometimes you want one hundred people all at once with
one click of a button to know exactly what you're saying.
I mentioned this down at a digital graffiti event. It's
(18:18):
a really cool event they do on the Florida Gulf Coast.
There are a bunch of security guards set up. It's
a fabulous event, but they were all communicating via rapid radios.
Because the cell phone network isn't always great. It gets overloaded,
and you want to be able to talk to all
the security guards at once. They had rapid radios. There
are one hundred percent private, no monthly fees or subscriptions.
(18:39):
This is a really cool option to check out. I
mentioned that we've got my ten year old running around
with one sixty percent off at rapid Radios dot com
use code rate Rapid Radios dot com code Radio.
Speaker 1 (18:52):
All right, welcome back in here to Clay and Buck.
We got a lot going on, a lot of talkbacks
and phone calls to dive into. I just a little
personal note here, Clay, I'm about thirty years late on
this one, but I felt like I finally just had
to bite the bullet and do it. And I watched
The English Patient, which I had never seen before. That movie.
That movie sucks. I mean that movie is trash. You know,
(19:14):
it won like nine Academy Awards. Back when the Academy
Awards meant something like back when the back when the
movies that you loved were what were this is the nineties, right,
the awesome movies would get nominated. Not all of them,
but a lot of them would get nominated for Academy Awards.
Have you ever seen The English Patient?
Speaker 5 (19:30):
I mean I have not thought about The English Patient
legitimately in probably thirty years. I went on a high
school date to The English Patient, like the worst place.
Speaker 1 (19:42):
It was like the worst I've tried to look up
what I mean, did you get did you get some?
You know what I mean? Like was it a good date?
Speaker 5 (19:48):
And almost like tried to make out trying to make
out during Schindler's List.
Speaker 1 (19:51):
I mean, it's like the saddest movie. He's a little
tough and the guy, yeah, he's he's kind of a
sad sad case. Also tho I want to be like,
so you sold you sold out? Like you love this
chick was so important you sold out to the Nazis, buddy.
I mean, I know it was Hungarian, but.
Speaker 5 (20:05):
I have no recollection other than it was in I
just looked it up. Nineteen ninety six, so I was
seventeen and I went on a date with a sixty joe.
Speaker 1 (20:16):
I was I think I was a.
Speaker 5 (20:17):
Junior or senior and I went over one year younger
than me, and I was like, I don't know, I
don't know what I was thinking. It's like the word
there's the Seinfeld I think where he gets caught the
Sler's List, and yeah, he's making out during Schindler's List problem.
The English patient is up there with Schindler's List on
movies that it's the least difficult, most difficult to actually
make out during.
Speaker 4 (20:38):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (20:39):
I'll tell you this. Hands on the positive side of things,
I find go back and watch movies of the nineties
were fantastic, Like that's when they were making great So
if there's a great movie from the nineties, generally speaking,
and you haven't seen it, it's worth going to see.
They don't make good movies anymore. I know I sound
like it like some old man, but it's true. They
just don't make good movie anymore. Occasionally something will pop
(21:01):
up on Netflix that's worthwhile, or Apple TV or something.
Why didn't you watch It's been out for forty years?
Why did you suddenly watch the Was this Carrie's decision? No,
because I said, well, I was looking for a movie
night film for us, you know, we had the baby,
and I had watched the Justse Smollette documentary when I
was babysitting on my own the night before because Carrie
(21:22):
went to bed early. And that is incredible, by the way,
the Esse Smollette documentary on Netflix, it's I mean, they
do get into the like, well, there are still questions
and like Jesse Smollett is all He's like, you know,
I would never have done this. And he still he
participated in the documentary. Oh yeah, he does interviews. But Clay,
they take you through I mean, I couldn't stop laughing.
(21:45):
They take you through the first hour when you go
back and actually see so I just want to give
you on the good side of things. The Jessey Smollette documentary.
The first hour and they have these detectives who are
the early one, you know, the guy's on the case
and they're just looking at everyone like I mean, this
is the dumbest thing. This is the most absurd thing
we've ever seen. And of course Kamala and Joe Biden
and they're like, oh, Joseph Smollett. It's just a great
trip down memory lane. And that was back when Twitter
(22:07):
was lib dominated and I had people, I had blue
checks coming after me because I did a podcast when
the story broke Clay and it was Jesse Smollett is lying.
That was the title of the podcast, and man, that
was that was a fun one. Look, how dare you?
How dare you? I'm like, yeah, sure. He would hold
onto the subway sandwich and keep the noose around his neck, like,
walked into his apartment and then waited for the cops
(22:29):
to come.
Speaker 3 (22:30):
Right.
Speaker 1 (22:30):
I mean, this is it is bonkers. But no, if
you want to, if you have a movie night with
your spouse or whatever coming up, if you got to
it's rains here a lot in Florida now, so we
have some rainy nights ninety. Stuff is great, except for
the English patient, which is trash. I'm just giving you
this thirty years late announcement because I had never seen
it before.
Speaker 5 (22:49):
I think it's really funny because I haven't thought about
The English Patient a long time, and I just looked
up the release date. It was the winter fall of
ninety six, so I was a senior in high school.
I don't know what I was thinking. I mean, I
guess I thought this is a romantic movie. I should
take a girl to a romantic movie.
Speaker 1 (23:06):
It is. I have not thought about that movie, thought
that bad of a date. That there are way worse
date movies than The English Patient. You know, it's not like,
I mean, the Schindler's Listening obviously from Seinfeld was meant
to like, they're meant to find the absolute worst possible
movie to try to make out with somebody drink and yeah,
there there there are other other movies that I would
say would be far, far tougher to watch than than
(23:27):
that one. All right, well you got some talkbacks here,
probably not about The English Patient, but here we go.
All right, Glenn FF, Glenn from Ohio who listens on
wm A and radio play it.
Speaker 7 (23:38):
Hey, Bucket's Glenn from Minsford, Ohio. Clay's always talking sports,
and this is your week to shine in sports. Let's
hear some commentary about the Tennis US Open great tournament.
Plus it's in New York. And also, how about an
update on your serve speed. I don't think I've heard
that or I missed it.
Speaker 1 (23:56):
Thanks, all right, you're asking for some US open. I
have been watching at night, so I've been trying to
space out my babysitting routines. Here for Little Speed, which
is my son's name, which I think you all know.
So I've been watching the open clay. I think it's
heading toward Alcoraz Center in the final, and I think
that center is gonna win the whole thing. I know
(24:16):
a lot of people would say Alcaraz, it's a great
time for men's tennis. As for my serve, I will
tell you I have now gotten. I have not given up.
I don't want any of you to think that this
is like, oh like I went out there one time
before the show for thirty minutes in the sun. It's
very hot out there. Some of you noticed, why are
you so sweaty? I don't know, cause one hundred and
(24:37):
four degrees on this court and I got hold on,
hold on, hold on, buddy, hold on, I got top
of the line. Now for civilian home use, I guess
it's all for civilian use, not military, but for civilian
home use. I got a better radar gun, and I'm
ready to go and get out there. It's got like
a tripod, the whole thing because the radar gun, it's
the one you hold in your hand, is trash because
(24:59):
it has to be right in line. So I showed you, guys,
one servant ninety seven miles an hour. I have to
serve at fifteen times to get one reading, basically like
it never the readings are not good. Uh So I
got something that should be way better. And now the
only challenge has been rained because it the courts get
wet here every day, so you can't play, and there's
only outdoor courts where I am in Miami. But the
(25:20):
answer to your question is before the US Open is over,
I plan to be out there and we will break
one hundred. My friends, we will break one hundred.
Speaker 5 (25:28):
I am curious to hear, uh and and and interested
to see.
Speaker 1 (25:33):
So Lauren Travis was out of that. Look at that
Look at that vote of no confidence. Three more mph?
You know, three more mph? I don't know. You know
you might throw your shoulder out on that one.
Speaker 7 (25:45):
I know.
Speaker 3 (25:45):
I think.
Speaker 1 (25:46):
The other thing I'll tell you is it's amazing how
everybody everybody on the internet is a is a firearms
expert and a tennis expert. It's fascinating, you know what
I'm saying. It's like, oh, really really everyone's everyone's got
comment there going And I'm like, hmm, it is funny.
Speaker 5 (26:03):
For things that you know, ninety five percent of people
can't do how many And look, it could be anything
like I'll give you an example. You and I could
both bench two hundred and twenty five pounds.
Speaker 1 (26:15):
That is for.
Speaker 5 (26:17):
Most men in their forties, something that they can't do right. Somehow,
the only people who comment are the people who tell
you that you're super weak, right, like almost no one
can do that, totally, Like and if I went if
I posted a video of me doing two or three reps,
which I think is about what I would get, some guy.
Speaker 1 (26:36):
Would be like, oh, that's pathetic. And you're like, well, actually,
it's like ninety eight percent dial for men my age. Like,
if you're in ninety eeth percent dial in anything, you're
pretty good. And yet on the internet it seems to
be made up by only guys who ridicule anything. I mean,
it really is.
Speaker 5 (26:54):
And by the way, for women, the number of guys
out there, really pretty girls.
Speaker 1 (27:00):
Right, pretty girl.
Speaker 5 (27:01):
Does something and for one of the first comments she's
not that hot.
Speaker 1 (27:05):
It's like, well, who are you dating? Who are you
married to?
Speaker 3 (27:08):
Right?
Speaker 1 (27:08):
Yeah, they like to say they like to say mid
is that she's mid. Like and people will say like Margot, Margot,
Robbie is mid.
Speaker 5 (27:15):
I'm like, yeah, I mean, like Leonardo DiCaprio, if he
wants to be like, she's not that good looking, I'd
be like, Okay, well he's been dating twenty five year
old girls for thirty years. Uh, you know, he's kind
of got a high standard. I can see that. But
unless you're picking models for the cover of Vogue, most
girls that are like Sidney Sweeney, people are like, I
(27:35):
don't really think she's that hot. I'm like, who are
you dating that Sidney Sweeney?
Speaker 1 (27:39):
It's not that good.
Speaker 7 (27:40):
Look.
Speaker 1 (27:40):
There's a lack there's a lack of of This is
a chronic thing online. There's in the in the commentariat,
in the comment section, there's a lack of objectivity that
comes out. I saw this in the tennis thing I have.
People were saying, like, my daughter plays, do you want
tennis for UCLA? And she can serve that hard and
I'm like, yeah, she's an amazing tennis player. What is
what what are you saying? She plays d uclation? You
(28:01):
could probably go on the pro tour, Like is this
a dunk? I don't understand you think you're dunking on me,
like you're telling me like that's pretty great.
Speaker 5 (28:07):
It's just yet, like if you're in the ninetieth percentile
on anything, you're pretty good at it.
Speaker 1 (28:14):
Right, I mean that that is.
Speaker 5 (28:15):
And yet on the internet, if you're in the ninetieth percentile,
it's as if people are all I mean even I
guess you know, you could be Michael Jordan and people
are like, well, he's not actually that good because like, well,
you know, maybe the greatest probably the greatest basketball player
of all time.
Speaker 1 (28:30):
I think maybe he knows a little bit more. I
do think to just close a little. First of all,
the surf thing is not done. Just see all though
there will be there will be follow up. And second
of all, so don't worry about that. And second of all,
I think that you'll probably find out that center Sinner
might become like the far and away best tennis player
of all time. So we'll see. He did have a
(28:50):
little issue that that's a bold call when you're talking
about the joker Djokovic and how good he is right now,
and then obviously following Federer and all so Jo is
on the down slope right like he's almost forty, started
thinking about being forty, but then the amount that he's
racked up in terms of the wins, most all time majors.
But it's really an Alcorazor Ciner world that we're coming
into here, and they're both phenomenal players and they're really
(29:12):
fun to watch. It is also fun to see how tennis.
I don't know if any sport in our lifetime has
transformed more. I mean you go back to look at
like Jimmy Connors. Jimmy Connors looks like the guys that
my dad plays golf with on the weekends. Like these
are not. These do not look like elite athletes running
around the tennis s court hit. I know, the rackets
are different and everything else. I mean, now these guys
(29:32):
are They're all an incredible cardiovascular shape, they move incredibly well.
The girls too, I mean, well, look, women's tennis is
a great spectator sport, Unlike some other things. It's not
like the WNBA situation where people are told they have
to watch them women's tennis, those women are incredible athletes
and it's a fun it's a good spectator experience even.
Speaker 5 (29:51):
By the way, I think that's true across the board,
and it's one sign of how people just continue to
get better. Even golf. There's not really John Daies anymore,
or an Hell Cabrera's for those of you out there,
just kind of chubby, not very well. I'm not trying
to take shot to John Day or a Hel Cabrera,
but they were popular for that reason. There aren't really
(30:11):
very many of those guys in golf. I think you
don't see.
Speaker 1 (30:14):
Guys with a thirty pound gut on them, smoking cigarettes
at the seventh he or whatever, wearing the plaid pants
who are world class golfers right now, like that you're Nazi.
Speaker 5 (30:24):
They don't exist anymore. And I think partly it's the
amount of money, but also people are just more aware
of how to get the most out of your body
and the discipline that it takes to become an excellent athlete.
Now I think is higher than it ever has been before.
When we come back, by the way, we'll hit some
more of your talkbacks. Reminder, we've got Katie Miller at
(30:44):
the top of the next hour, and then doctor Nicole
Safire as well, and we got some clips a little
bit of fireworks from RFK Junior in his testimony on
Capitol Hill. We'll play some of that for you in
the third hour as well.
Speaker 1 (30:56):
And we were talking to you about strength, about fitness,
about sports and for those of us who are in
middle age, and Clay and I are solidly middle aged guys,
you gotta have the right underlying chemistry, the right stuff
in your body in order to get the most out
of your day. And this is where Chalk comes in.
Chalk has some phenomenal supplements that are best in class,
They are tested. These are the kind of things that
(31:19):
you know can make a real difference, especially when talking
about energy, drive, focus, things that tend to wane as
we get a bit older. Chalk's Male Vitality Stack is
their most popular and like all of Chalk's products, every
ingredient is all natural. That Male Vitality Stack includes a
leading ingredient that replenishes diminished testosteron levels and men you
up to twenty percent in just three months time. You

We claim your sanity with Clay and Fun.

Find them on the free iHeartRadio app or wherever you
get your podcasts.
Speaker 5 (32:13):
Welcome back in Clay, Travis, Buck Sexton show a lot
of you weighing in with a variety of different takes.
Let's pop some of these. We appreciate the talkback. We
also let me reiterate Crocket Coffee on fire. Because of
you guys, we are buying it and having to produce
more and more content.
Speaker 1 (32:31):
Bucks holding up his mug.
Speaker 3 (32:32):
There.
Speaker 5 (32:33):
We're now on Amazon, so if I bet huge percentages
of you are like both Bucks house and my house
where your wives buy things on Amazon and there's basically
just a constant flow of packages of which you have
no idea what's coming and going. Every single day I
walk out on my porch and there's new things that
(32:54):
are coming in. Maybe you're probably an Amazon Prime you
can try it out now within the Amazon ecosystem. We'd
always prefer to you come direct to us at Crocketcoffee
dot com use code book because it's better to have
for us a direct personal relationship with all of you,
and we appreciate people who are buying that way. But
(33:14):
also we understand ease of shipping, shipping cost, all of
the other aspects. So we are now available on Amazon,
so you can go buy, you can go give us
a review there. You can basically find Crockett Coffee everywhere.
If you go to Crockett Coffee dot com use code book,
get an autograph copy of my most recent book and
as part of the subscription. Okay, a bunch of people
(33:34):
weighing in variety of different talks. This is Brian from
Massachusetts News Radio five eighty ninety four nine WTAG. This
is what he had to say.
Speaker 8 (33:44):
Hey, guys, this whole trans gunband thing, it's a no
brainer in my opinion. I mean, the left is the
group of people that want to have red flag laws
and pull your guns away for everything under the sun.
You know, if you say you want to if you're
stocking somebody, you say you don't like somebody, they want
to pull your guns away for the least little thing.
But they want to allow guns two people who have
clear and obvious issues delineating reality. That's just that's nonsense.
(34:07):
It's they definitely should not be able to have guns.
Speaker 5 (34:13):
I think bucket's going to turn interesting because of the
politics here. I think absolutely you could see a push
by the administration as well to add gender dysphoria back
into the DSM, the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Health.
Speaker 1 (34:28):
Disorders, which is where it used to be. It used
to be called gender dysphoria. That was what it was called.
It was a condition, a condition to be treated psychologically,
and they removed it, and now it's a civil rights cause. Well,
that might have to change.
Speaker 5 (34:44):
JJ is Eric in North Carolina. I didn't expect to
get this criticism News Talk ninety four to five WPTI
he has this to say.
Speaker 3 (34:52):
You guys need to stick to politics and sports, because
every time we all talk about movies, you sound like
a bunch of idiots. The English Patients is one of
the greatest movies made, just film wise.
Speaker 1 (35:04):
Can I just say, God, I would not expect Eric,
just based on his voice, to be exactly. I would
expect him to be a big like fan of Dolly Parton,
and maybe I would.
Speaker 5 (35:15):
I would think Eric would be calling in like NASCAR
needs to go back to when it was great.
Speaker 1 (35:20):
Like the opening. But he's gonna say that, you know,
Commando is the greatest movie ever made, Rambo First Blood.
I mean, you know, I was not expecting Eric to
be that guy could do voiceover for like old westerns
or something, Eric being a diehard English patient fan and
being upset that we didn't give it enough credit. Based
on the way he started to talk, I would have
(35:41):
lost a lot of money. You know, if you know,
you know who makes you know who makes some great
music is Liberaci. That guy really has got some great too,
you know what I mean. It's like, Okay, you wouldn't know,
you know. There you go, h l.
Speaker 5 (35:52):
Ll let's get her in here. Podcast listener, Christine wich
guy for us.
Speaker 1 (35:57):
Hey, guys, love the show.
Speaker 2 (35:58):
This is Christine and San Chan in Texas and on Seinfeld,
Mister Peterman fired Elaine because.
Speaker 1 (36:05):
She hated the English patiow. That's a great call. Now,
I remember I forgot about that. I knew it was
a thing in the show. I've been so long.
Speaker 5 (36:13):
I was young when I watched that guy liking the
English patient. The Peterman guy from Seinfeld makes sense. Our caller, Eric,
North Carolina, wouldn't have expected. What about Jody here KK
reacting to you and the Jesse Smollette doc.
Speaker 1 (36:28):
Hey, guys, Jody from Birmingham, Alabama, you were mentioned in
Jesse Smollett and Ninnies movies? Did you guys know that
he was in The Mighty Ducks. Introduced my kids to
that movie a few weeks ago, and there was a
little Jesse Smollett in the movie.
Speaker 3 (36:44):
Didn't know if y'all were aware. Thanks love, the.
Speaker 1 (36:46):
Show had no idea. Amazing
Second hour of play and Buck kicks off right now,
and let's talk about something that is guaranteed to not
stir up any controversies, vaccines. Let's have a vaccine discussion.
Shall we? We have some changes afoot thanks to RFK
Junior at AHHS, Florida Surgeon General Joseph Latipo and others
(00:25):
who are making moves and changing things up after what
we saw. In my opinion, and I think many share it,
you know, Clay shares, it was the absolute abdication of impartiality,
science based medicine and basic responsibility by the medical establishment
(00:46):
during COVID. And that was during the early days when
Trump was reliant on that on those agencies to act
the way that they were supposed to at some level,
and then during the Biden years where it just got
worse and crazier and more absurd. I just want to
(01:06):
tell you something that immediately annoys me is when anyone
says they did the best they can it was complicated, No,
absolutely unacceptable because they weren't arguing then they weren't arguing
we need a vaccine mandate because things are complicated and
we're not sure, but we think that this makes sense
(01:28):
given they were saying, shut your face, I don't want
to hear it. You're not allowed to go to church.
You're allowed to go buy weed, but get the vax,
or you lose your job, get the shot, or you
can't go to a restaurant. We know what's true here,
we know what the facts are. They did that and
then they were wrong on top of it. It is unforgivable.
There is no excuse for it. And people in the
(01:50):
medical profession who pushed this and went along with this,
they'd be ashamed of themselves. The air online attendants who
were enforcing you know, masking at their win. That one,
in some ways was the absolute worst, like they act.
There were people, and I know this has happened to me.
There are people who thought, you know what, I'm gonna
go up to someone out. Your mask has been off
your face while you're eating a little too long. I'm
(02:11):
gonna tell you to please cover up. Think about the mentality.
I mean, these are the people the Soviets used as
prison guards in the Gulag. They enjoy the little thrill
of power and harassing other people. There's something deeply wrong
inside of them. They didn't have to do it. I
mean that's the case. I always go to Clay because
you could have just not been a psycho and said, Okay,
(02:31):
they're eating I'm I'm gonna let them eat their food.
You know that's within the rules. But no no mask
up between bites. Sure you're taking a little too long,
could you mask up between bites? The people who did
that should forever hang their heads in shame because they're
morons and their sheep, and they're the reason that there
are totalitarianisms that still exist to this day, to this
(02:51):
day around the world. Unfortunately. In fact, the second large
i mean the second largest country in the world is
a totalitarian dictatorship. So what does that tell you? Now,
let's get into the pushback against the madness here. First
of all, Florida Surgeon General, Harvard trained doctor Joseph Latipoe
spoke about ending the vaccine mandates in this state, the
(03:12):
great State of Florida under Ron DeSantis, a stewardship a
fantastic place play fourteen.
Speaker 2 (03:19):
The Florida Department of Health, in partnership with the governors,
is going to be working to end all vaccine mandates in.
Speaker 1 (03:28):
Florida, La, all of them.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
All of them, every last one of them. Every last
one of them is wrong and drips with disdain and slavery.
Who am I as a government or anyone else, or
who am I as a man standing here now to
tell you what you should put in your body? Who
(03:54):
am I to tell you what your child should put
in your body?
Speaker 3 (04:00):
Isn't that right?
Speaker 1 (04:01):
Claire and I also just just throw in there before
doctor Oz also, we're going to have them on today,
but we got Nicole Saffire on later. We needed to
bring some MD expert here. So here's doctor Oz against
vaccine mandates.
Speaker 4 (04:13):
I would definitely not have mandates for vaccinations. This is
a decision that a physician and a patient we be
making together. The parents love their kids more than anybody else.
I could love that kid, so why not let the
parents play an active role in this. There are some
states now we're seeing an increase in homeschooling because parents
are running from the healthcare system. They can't get healthcare
because doctors are unwilling to take the risk of taking
(04:35):
care of children who don't want vaccinations because it might
impact the way their practices are rumped. They should feel
pressure from the government to decide what to do with
the vaccination schedule. They should do what's the best interest
of the person in front of them, that states a child,
and what those parents desire. That's how the system is
supposed to run.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
The floor is yours, sir ah.
Speaker 5 (04:55):
This is one of those situations where, frankly, COVID may
me question a lot, and I bet there's a lot
of moms and dads out there that are the exact
same as me. I didn't question anything on the vaccine
schedule for my kids. I've got seventeen, fourteen, ten year
old boys. Obviously we haven't really been through the vaccine
(05:19):
process in a long time. But as soon as COVID happened,
I said, my kids are not getting the COVID shot,
and I was looking at the data. Thankfully they did
not get the COVID shot. I think that a lot
of parents out there who did get their COVID their
kid the COVID shot. Probably some of you are listening
to us now because you were still willing to go
(05:41):
along with the public health establishment. I have a lot
of questions about why we have the number of shots
that we give our kids now I do, and look,
I am not going to go through the buck you
now have got a baby boy that I remember thinking.
It seem like they get a lot of shots, more
(06:02):
shots than I got when I was a kid, more
shots than any of you out there in your thirties
or forties or fifties or sixties got.
Speaker 1 (06:10):
And I just look.
Speaker 5 (06:12):
Around, and I do feel like much of what RFK
Junior and the Maha moms are saying is true. It
feels to me like we have a lot more sick
kids now, a lot more allergies with kids, a lot
more public health issues with young kids now than we
(06:33):
used to. And I can tell you this, Claike, this
is an ongoing discussion in my house right now. And
we are doing both a slow a spread out in
the vaccine schedule as in, like yeah, taking time between them,
and also doing a a la carte system for the
(06:54):
vaccine system or the vaccine choices, as in, we have
a very good MD down here.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
Who was you know? Look, if you're going to be
my kid's doctor, I gotta tell you this, you better
not still have a mask up sign in your office,
which does still exist in some places. So this doc
lives in reality and lived in reality during COVID because
he was a Florida based doc. So he's really good.
But I'll just tell you this, I said, Doc. Kerry
(07:21):
and I were in the office and I said, okay,
so we can get this one shot, and there's another
shot that maybe we get and he basically was like, look,
you know, I was like, I don't think we need
to get that second vaccine. What do you think? He goes, no,
you don't need to get that one. That one, really,
I don't think. And then I said, okay, the first one, though,
what do you think about this one? He said, look,
I'll tell you this. He said, I've looked at the
safety profile for a long time. It's gotten even better
(07:43):
over the years based on what's in it. You know,
he's kind of a more holistic doc. And he said,
I'll tell you this. What this prevents. It basically is
for a form of pneumonia that babies gets. He said,
when I was doing my residency, it was actually in
New York. When he was doing his residency in New York,
babies would come every day and die from that. Yeah,
so he said this one, for this one, I would
(08:06):
advise it was still our choice. It was still our choice.
But those are the kind of conversations I think they need.
You know, it's a total risk benefit analysis. And you know,
not being told get this or you're not allowed to
go to school, or get this, or you're a bad person.
Speaker 5 (08:19):
I I just again, I think that there are a
lot of you know, they they turned anti vacs into
an insult. I actually think it is not Most people
are not anti vax on everything.
Speaker 3 (08:34):
One.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
Two.
Speaker 5 (08:37):
They have turned parents asking hey are my kids over
medicated into a design to attack you for asking questions.
And my general position as a parent, and I follow
this myself is I don't want to take anything. I
just like my wife makes fun of me. I don't
(08:59):
even like to take time, all right, Like I am
just a I would rather not put things into my
body if I don't have to, and let my immune
system work. I've never gotten the COVID shot. I'm glad
I never got the COVID shot. And you know, I
hope that I can be healthy and live to eighty
five ish. That's the number that's in my head where
(09:20):
I'm like, I'd like to make it to eighty five.
That feels like a good target. That would mean I
got about forty years left, and I want to ideally
deal with the medical system as little as I possibly can.
I'll give you an example, Buck, I was just talking
about this off air, and I'm going to give them
a plug here. I'm over, I'm forty six, and so
they say, hey, you need to get a colonoscopy, right, Like,
(09:43):
I don't want to go to the doctor and get anything.
I my wife has to get on me to go
get a physical. Like, I just don't want to go
to the hospital. I don't want anything. I did this
home colon guard thing. It seems like an amazing invention.
I sent off my samples, they review it, they say,
you're good. I don't have to spend two days getting
(10:04):
a colonoscopy.
Speaker 3 (10:05):
Right.
Speaker 5 (10:06):
I feel like we are over medicated. And I feel
like many parents out there feel this, and you're asking yourselves,
is it imperative that my six month old be stuck
up like a porcupine quill? I don't know that we
need to be doing it, particularly when all of these
drug companies, Again, this is important, all of these drug
(10:28):
companies need you sick in order to.
Speaker 1 (10:32):
Basically exist as companies.
Speaker 5 (10:33):
Now, I'm not maligning all drugs because Bucks pointed out, like, hey,
if you're super bipolar, you need treatment, right, Like, there
are lots of things out there where the drug companies
have done an amazing job helping people who otherwise would
not be able to exist in the larger society to exist.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
Or you know, if you don't want to have a
heart attack, you know, statins are really effective.
Speaker 5 (10:56):
If you gave me a magic wand and you just said, Clay,
you have the ability to do something for healthcare aside
from you know, hey, everybody lives healthy to be one hundred, right,
you know something like that. I think we could swipe
out kids in particular. I think we could swipe out
seventy five percent of all medical treatment on kids, and
I think kids would have maybe a better health outcome
(11:19):
than drugging them up like we have done. This is
the great unasked or unanswered, I should say, question in
the post Obamacare world, because really, what Obamacare was.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
It just made all of our healthcare more expensive to
subsidize some people, including illegals as we know, to pay
less for their health care. And it was a massive
Medicare oh sorry, Medicaid, Medicaid expansion. And the most thorough
it's called the Oregon Study, the most thorough randomized controlled
study of health care outcomes ever, for Medicaid patients showed
(11:52):
that having Medicaid or not having Medicaid made no difference
in actual health care outcomes, none, not discernible in the least. Yes,
So you say, well, we're all, what are you spending
all this money on? Where's all the money going? And
that's when you really start to see things. And you
know one of the failures of the failure of Obamacare
as a parent, but I just look at the costs
of the average healthcare premium over the last decade. Do
(12:15):
you think, are you getting better healthcare now? You are
absolutely not?
Speaker 3 (12:18):
Yea.
Speaker 1 (12:18):
And in fact, your healthcare premium has gone up one
hundred and fifty percent something like that on average. So yeah,
it was healthcare socialism everybody. They just did it in
a clever and creative way, including lying about it.
Speaker 5 (12:31):
What do you think the most hated company that everybody
has to deal with on a regular basis is it
used to be a cable company, which I know it
used to be the cable company, which I actually I
always thought the cable company think was good because it
showed you what it was a lesson in monopoly for
everybody because monopolies are bad. True monopolies are bad, and
they're only able to buy the state. My kids don't
(12:52):
believe this. I was telling them about it. I was like,
they were like, how did you used to get you know,
games on. I was like, well, we had to get
cable and they were like, well how does cable get
And I was like, we move into a new apartment
and the cable guy would be like, hey, I'm going
to show up at some point between eight pm and
six pm, and you basically.
Speaker 1 (13:08):
Eight am, eight am.
Speaker 5 (13:10):
He's liked, sorry, eight am and six like all day.
They didn't give give you like a couple of hours,
and they would say they would show up. You had
to sit there and wait for them.
Speaker 1 (13:16):
And if you were a show, you had to call
and say, pretty please, I'll bake you cookies come tomorrow
or the next like you were. They had you at
their mercy and that was reality.
Speaker 5 (13:28):
I remember one time when I was in college, pretty
girl down the hall. We were jealous, like how did
you get your cable hooked up already? And she was
like I put on a tank top when the cable
guy was walking down the hall and I was like, hey,
can I get you to come and like, yeah, cable guy.
Speaker 1 (13:43):
Yeah. Of course they called this the Sydney Sweeney effect. Yes,
cable guy go figure seis a pretty girl in the
tank top.
Speaker 5 (13:51):
He finds a way to get her cable hooked up.
It's not even a movie, although I've heard those kind
of movies of this. You'd be amazed what people can
find when it's time to move out of their family
home after years, even decades. We're going through the process
right now of moving out of my house and we
are taking all of the family photos off the bookshelves
everything else. We are stacking them up, and I am
(14:14):
thinking right now, even for relatively recent photos, man, we
really need to get these digitally preserved. Because my kids
were born first one in eight and that was before
everything had taken off. Necessarily you had the digital cameras
if you remember those days, but you still printed out
a lot of the photos, and a lot of those
(14:35):
early baby pictures for my son are not now digitized.
We need to take care of that. And you probably
have got those if you got kids around my age.
But you also got tons of photos from when you
were a kid, probably from when your parents were kids,
when even your grandparents were kids. Do you want to
preserve those forever and tournament into digital files. That's what
(14:56):
Legacy Box does. They hand transfer everything by hand, one
videotape at a time. I traveled down to Chattanooga, Tennessee,
saw their facility myself, saw how much care they take
with all of your family's memories, whether it's vhs, whether
it's eight millimeter film reels, whether it is old camera photos,
old school photos. They can preserve anything and turn it
(15:19):
into a digital file. And right now, during the summer,
right as summer's coming to a close, before the holiday
rush starts, you can get Legacy Box for fifty percent off.
All you have to do is go to legacybox dot com.

Speaker 5 (15:50):
Welcome back in Clay, Travis buck Sexton Show. Appreciate all
of you hanging out with us.
Speaker 1 (15:55):
Buck.
Speaker 5 (15:55):
People are riled up again. Mary Margaret Olahan At the
end of the last hour, I mentioned this idea that
the Department of Justice may be considering saying, if you're
getting trans treatment, you're in the so called redline area,
you're not able to buy a gun. And I put
up a poll question, tons of responses rolling in. I
(16:17):
bet we're getting a lot here too. Eighty percent of
people said, yeah, if you are getting trans treatment, medical care,
I don't think they should be able to buy guns. Now,
this is going to be interesting politically, right because our
Democrats suddenly going to support trans rights by saying trans
people should be able to buy guns, and are traditional
(16:39):
Second Amendment advocates going to say, you know what, given
the shootings in Minneapolis and the shootings in Nashville and
the drug treatments that I think may be partly involved
in this reaction, are like, the politics on this are
actually I think super kind of interesting.
Speaker 1 (16:58):
Well, if somebody told me that they were severely bipolar
and unmedicated, yeah, and and celebrated their bipolarity for example.
And by the way, I'm not trying to pick on that,
as it's a very serious illness. I've had friends who
have dealt with it. But I just am pointing out
and then they said, well Buck, I take people and
give them the basics at the gun range. Sometimes it's
something I do for friends and family. Would I would
(17:18):
I be like ifs again not, Hey, I'm medicated, I'm fine.
I'm somebody who says I have a serious mental illness
and I choose not to get any treatment for it.
In fact, I celebrate my mental illness. What I want
to stand next to them at a shooting range. That
that's that's a tough that's a tough ask. I think, yes,
being honest with you as somebody who goes to the
shooting range with regularity, you know, or if somebody even
(17:40):
told me, you know, I'm a paranoid schizophrenic and I
refuse to take any treatment for it. Let's go shooting tomorrow,
that would feel weird. Does that make me a bad person?
I don't think so. I think that just makes me reasonable.
But that's where things That's where this discussion, I think
is going to go very quickly.
Speaker 3 (17:57):
You know.
Speaker 5 (17:57):
It's a question whether someone's being treated or not. Yeah,
And we'll talk about this a little bit more when
we come back. In the meantime, if you're running a business,
you want to be able to connect with all your employees,
especially if they're spread out. Cell Phones can work, but
sometimes you want one hundred people all at once with
one click of a button to know exactly what you're saying.
I mentioned this down at a digital graffiti event. It's
(18:18):
a really cool event they do on the Florida Gulf Coast.
There are a bunch of security guards set up. It's
a fabulous event, but they were all communicating via rapid radios.
Because the cell phone network isn't always great. It gets overloaded,
and you want to be able to talk to all
the security guards at once. They had rapid radios. There
are one hundred percent private, no monthly fees or subscriptions.
(18:39):
This is a really cool option to check out. I
mentioned that we've got my ten year old running around
with one sixty percent off at rapid Radios dot com
use code rate Rapid Radios dot com code Radio.
Speaker 1 (18:52):
All right, welcome back in here to Clay and Buck.
We got a lot going on, a lot of talkbacks
and phone calls to dive into. I just a little
personal note here, Clay, I'm about thirty years late on
this one, but I felt like I finally just had
to bite the bullet and do it. And I watched
The English Patient, which I had never seen before. That movie.
That movie sucks. I mean that movie is trash. You know,
(19:14):
it won like nine Academy Awards. Back when the Academy
Awards meant something like back when the back when the
movies that you loved were what were this is the nineties, right,
the awesome movies would get nominated. Not all of them,
but a lot of them would get nominated for Academy Awards.
Have you ever seen The English Patient?
Speaker 5 (19:30):
I mean I have not thought about The English Patient
legitimately in probably thirty years. I went on a high
school date to The English Patient, like the worst place.
Speaker 1 (19:42):
It was like the worst I've tried to look up
what I mean, did you get did you get some?
You know what I mean? Like was it a good date?
Speaker 5 (19:48):
And almost like tried to make out trying to make
out during Schindler's List.
Speaker 1 (19:51):
I mean, it's like the saddest movie. He's a little
tough and the guy, yeah, he's he's kind of a
sad sad case. Also tho I want to be like,
so you sold you sold out? Like you love this
chick was so important you sold out to the Nazis, buddy.
I mean, I know it was Hungarian, but.
Speaker 5 (20:05):
I have no recollection other than it was in I
just looked it up. Nineteen ninety six, so I was
seventeen and I went on a date with a sixty joe.
Speaker 1 (20:16):
I was I think I was a.
Speaker 5 (20:17):
Junior or senior and I went over one year younger
than me, and I was like, I don't know, I
don't know what I was thinking. It's like the word
there's the Seinfeld I think where he gets caught the
Sler's List, and yeah, he's making out during Schindler's List problem.
The English patient is up there with Schindler's List on
movies that it's the least difficult, most difficult to actually
make out during.
Speaker 4 (20:38):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (20:39):
I'll tell you this. Hands on the positive side of things,
I find go back and watch movies of the nineties
were fantastic, Like that's when they were making great So
if there's a great movie from the nineties, generally speaking,
and you haven't seen it, it's worth going to see.
They don't make good movies anymore. I know I sound
like it like some old man, but it's true. They
just don't make good movie anymore. Occasionally something will pop
(21:01):
up on Netflix that's worthwhile, or Apple TV or something.
Why didn't you watch It's been out for forty years?
Why did you suddenly watch the Was this Carrie's decision? No,
because I said, well, I was looking for a movie
night film for us, you know, we had the baby,
and I had watched the Justse Smollette documentary when I
was babysitting on my own the night before because Carrie
(21:22):
went to bed early. And that is incredible, by the way,
the Esse Smollette documentary on Netflix, it's I mean, they
do get into the like, well, there are still questions
and like Jesse Smollett is all He's like, you know,
I would never have done this. And he still he
participated in the documentary. Oh yeah, he does interviews. But Clay,
they take you through I mean, I couldn't stop laughing.
(21:45):
They take you through the first hour when you go
back and actually see so I just want to give
you on the good side of things. The Jessey Smollette documentary.
The first hour and they have these detectives who are
the early one, you know, the guy's on the case
and they're just looking at everyone like I mean, this
is the dumbest thing. This is the most absurd thing
we've ever seen. And of course Kamala and Joe Biden
and they're like, oh, Joseph Smollett. It's just a great
trip down memory lane. And that was back when Twitter
(22:07):
was lib dominated and I had people, I had blue
checks coming after me because I did a podcast when
the story broke Clay and it was Jesse Smollett is lying.
That was the title of the podcast, and man, that
was that was a fun one. Look, how dare you?
How dare you? I'm like, yeah, sure. He would hold
onto the subway sandwich and keep the noose around his neck, like,
walked into his apartment and then waited for the cops
(22:29):
to come.
Speaker 3 (22:30):
Right.
Speaker 1 (22:30):
I mean, this is it is bonkers. But no, if
you want to, if you have a movie night with
your spouse or whatever coming up, if you got to
it's rains here a lot in Florida now, so we
have some rainy nights ninety. Stuff is great, except for
the English patient, which is trash. I'm just giving you
this thirty years late announcement because I had never seen
it before.
Speaker 5 (22:49):
I think it's really funny because I haven't thought about
The English Patient a long time, and I just looked
up the release date. It was the winter fall of
ninety six, so I was a senior in high school.
I don't know what I was thinking. I mean, I
guess I thought this is a romantic movie. I should
take a girl to a romantic movie.
Speaker 1 (23:06):
It is. I have not thought about that movie, thought
that bad of a date. That there are way worse
date movies than The English Patient. You know, it's not like,
I mean, the Schindler's Listening obviously from Seinfeld was meant
to like, they're meant to find the absolute worst possible
movie to try to make out with somebody drink and yeah,
there there there are other other movies that I would
say would be far, far tougher to watch than than
(23:27):
that one. All right, well you got some talkbacks here,
probably not about The English Patient, but here we go.
All right, Glenn FF, Glenn from Ohio who listens on
wm A and radio play it.
Speaker 7 (23:38):
Hey, Bucket's Glenn from Minsford, Ohio. Clay's always talking sports,
and this is your week to shine in sports. Let's
hear some commentary about the Tennis US Open great tournament.
Plus it's in New York. And also, how about an
update on your serve speed. I don't think I've heard
that or I missed it.
Speaker 1 (23:56):
Thanks, all right, you're asking for some US open. I
have been watching at night, so I've been trying to
space out my babysitting routines. Here for Little Speed, which
is my son's name, which I think you all know.
So I've been watching the open clay. I think it's
heading toward Alcoraz Center in the final, and I think
that center is gonna win the whole thing. I know
(24:16):
a lot of people would say Alcaraz, it's a great
time for men's tennis. As for my serve, I will
tell you I have now gotten. I have not given up.
I don't want any of you to think that this
is like, oh like I went out there one time
before the show for thirty minutes in the sun. It's
very hot out there. Some of you noticed, why are
you so sweaty? I don't know, cause one hundred and
(24:37):
four degrees on this court and I got hold on,
hold on, hold on, buddy, hold on, I got top
of the line. Now for civilian home use, I guess
it's all for civilian use, not military, but for civilian
home use. I got a better radar gun, and I'm
ready to go and get out there. It's got like
a tripod, the whole thing because the radar gun, it's
the one you hold in your hand, is trash because
(24:59):
it has to be right in line. So I showed you, guys,
one servant ninety seven miles an hour. I have to
serve at fifteen times to get one reading, basically like
it never the readings are not good. Uh So I
got something that should be way better. And now the
only challenge has been rained because it the courts get
wet here every day, so you can't play, and there's
only outdoor courts where I am in Miami. But the
(25:20):
answer to your question is before the US Open is over,
I plan to be out there and we will break
one hundred. My friends, we will break one hundred.
Speaker 5 (25:28):
I am curious to hear, uh and and and interested
to see.
Speaker 1 (25:33):
So Lauren Travis was out of that. Look at that
Look at that vote of no confidence. Three more mph?
You know, three more mph? I don't know. You know
you might throw your shoulder out on that one.
Speaker 7 (25:45):
I know.
Speaker 3 (25:45):
I think.
Speaker 1 (25:46):
The other thing I'll tell you is it's amazing how
everybody everybody on the internet is a is a firearms
expert and a tennis expert. It's fascinating, you know what
I'm saying. It's like, oh, really really everyone's everyone's got
comment there going And I'm like, hmm, it is funny.
Speaker 5 (26:03):
For things that you know, ninety five percent of people
can't do how many And look, it could be anything
like I'll give you an example. You and I could
both bench two hundred and twenty five pounds.
Speaker 1 (26:15):
That is for.
Speaker 5 (26:17):
Most men in their forties, something that they can't do right. Somehow,
the only people who comment are the people who tell
you that you're super weak, right, like almost no one
can do that, totally, Like and if I went if
I posted a video of me doing two or three reps,
which I think is about what I would get, some guy.
Speaker 1 (26:36):
Would be like, oh, that's pathetic. And you're like, well, actually,
it's like ninety eight percent dial for men my age. Like,
if you're in ninety eeth percent dial in anything, you're
pretty good. And yet on the internet it seems to
be made up by only guys who ridicule anything. I mean,
it really is.
Speaker 5 (26:54):
And by the way, for women, the number of guys
out there, really pretty girls.
Speaker 1 (27:00):
Right, pretty girl.
Speaker 5 (27:01):
Does something and for one of the first comments she's
not that hot.
Speaker 1 (27:05):
It's like, well, who are you dating? Who are you
married to?
Speaker 3 (27:08):
Right?
Speaker 1 (27:08):
Yeah, they like to say they like to say mid
is that she's mid. Like and people will say like Margot, Margot,
Robbie is mid.
Speaker 5 (27:15):
I'm like, yeah, I mean, like Leonardo DiCaprio, if he
wants to be like, she's not that good looking, I'd
be like, Okay, well he's been dating twenty five year
old girls for thirty years. Uh, you know, he's kind
of got a high standard. I can see that. But
unless you're picking models for the cover of Vogue, most
girls that are like Sidney Sweeney, people are like, I
(27:35):
don't really think she's that hot. I'm like, who are
you dating that Sidney Sweeney?
Speaker 1 (27:39):
It's not that good.
Speaker 7 (27:40):
Look.
Speaker 1 (27:40):
There's a lack there's a lack of of This is
a chronic thing online. There's in the in the commentariat,
in the comment section, there's a lack of objectivity that
comes out. I saw this in the tennis thing I have.
People were saying, like, my daughter plays, do you want
tennis for UCLA? And she can serve that hard and
I'm like, yeah, she's an amazing tennis player. What is
what what are you saying? She plays d uclation? You
(28:01):
could probably go on the pro tour, Like is this
a dunk? I don't understand you think you're dunking on me,
like you're telling me like that's pretty great.
Speaker 5 (28:07):
It's just yet, like if you're in the ninetieth percentile
on anything, you're pretty good at it.
Speaker 1 (28:14):
Right, I mean that that is.
Speaker 5 (28:15):
And yet on the internet, if you're in the ninetieth percentile,
it's as if people are all I mean even I
guess you know, you could be Michael Jordan and people
are like, well, he's not actually that good because like, well,
you know, maybe the greatest probably the greatest basketball player
of all time.
Speaker 1 (28:30):
I think maybe he knows a little bit more. I
do think to just close a little. First of all,
the surf thing is not done. Just see all though
there will be there will be follow up. And second
of all, so don't worry about that. And second of all,
I think that you'll probably find out that center Sinner
might become like the far and away best tennis player
of all time. So we'll see. He did have a
(28:50):
little issue that that's a bold call when you're talking
about the joker Djokovic and how good he is right now,
and then obviously following Federer and all so Jo is
on the down slope right like he's almost forty, started
thinking about being forty, but then the amount that he's
racked up in terms of the wins, most all time majors.
But it's really an Alcorazor Ciner world that we're coming
into here, and they're both phenomenal players and they're really
(29:12):
fun to watch. It is also fun to see how tennis.
I don't know if any sport in our lifetime has
transformed more. I mean you go back to look at
like Jimmy Connors. Jimmy Connors looks like the guys that
my dad plays golf with on the weekends. Like these
are not. These do not look like elite athletes running
around the tennis s court hit. I know, the rackets
are different and everything else. I mean, now these guys
(29:32):
are They're all an incredible cardiovascular shape, they move incredibly well.
The girls too, I mean, well, look, women's tennis is
a great spectator sport, Unlike some other things. It's not
like the WNBA situation where people are told they have
to watch them women's tennis, those women are incredible athletes
and it's a fun it's a good spectator experience even.
Speaker 5 (29:51):
By the way, I think that's true across the board,
and it's one sign of how people just continue to
get better. Even golf. There's not really John Daies anymore,
or an Hell Cabrera's for those of you out there,
just kind of chubby, not very well. I'm not trying
to take shot to John Day or a Hel Cabrera,
but they were popular for that reason. There aren't really
(30:11):
very many of those guys in golf. I think you
don't see.
Speaker 1 (30:14):
Guys with a thirty pound gut on them, smoking cigarettes
at the seventh he or whatever, wearing the plaid pants
who are world class golfers right now, like that you're Nazi.
Speaker 5 (30:24):
They don't exist anymore. And I think partly it's the
amount of money, but also people are just more aware
of how to get the most out of your body
and the discipline that it takes to become an excellent athlete.
Now I think is higher than it ever has been before.
When we come back, by the way, we'll hit some
more of your talkbacks. Reminder, we've got Katie Miller at
(30:44):
the top of the next hour, and then doctor Nicole
Safire as well, and we got some clips a little
bit of fireworks from RFK Junior in his testimony on
Capitol Hill. We'll play some of that for you in
the third hour as well.
Speaker 1 (30:56):
And we were talking to you about strength, about fitness,
about sports and for those of us who are in
middle age, and Clay and I are solidly middle aged guys,
you gotta have the right underlying chemistry, the right stuff
in your body in order to get the most out
of your day. And this is where Chalk comes in.
Chalk has some phenomenal supplements that are best in class,
They are tested. These are the kind of things that
(31:19):

about energy, drive, focus, things that tend to wane as
we get a bit older. Chalk's Male Vitality Stack is
their most popular and like all of Chalk's products, every
ingredient is all natural. That Male Vitality Stack includes a
leading ingredient that replenishes diminished testosteron levels and men you

Find them on the free iHeartRadio app or wherever you
get your podcasts.
Speaker 5 (32:13):
Welcome back in Clay, Travis, Buck Sexton show a lot
of you weighing in with a variety of different takes.
Let's pop some of these. We appreciate the talkback. We
also let me reiterate Crocket Coffee on fire. Because of
you guys, we are buying it and having to produce
more and more content.
Speaker 1 (32:31):
Bucks holding up his mug.
Speaker 3 (32:32):
There.
Speaker 5 (32:33):
We're now on Amazon, so if I bet huge percentages
of you are like both Bucks house and my house
where your wives buy things on Amazon and there's basically
just a constant flow of packages of which you have
no idea what's coming and going. Every single day I
walk out on my porch and there's new things that
(32:54):
are coming in. Maybe you're probably an Amazon Prime you
can try it out now within the Amazon ecosystem. We'd
always prefer to you come direct to us at Crocketcoffee
dot com use code book because it's better to have
for us a direct personal relationship with all of you,
and we appreciate people who are buying that way. But

If you go to Crockett Coffee dot com use code book,
get an autograph copy of my most recent book and
as part of the subscription. Okay, a bunch of people
(33:34):
weighing in variety of different talks. This is Brian from
Massachusetts News Radio five eighty ninety four nine WTAG. This
is what he had to say.
Speaker 8 (33:44):
Hey, guys, this whole trans gunband thing, it's a no
brainer in my opinion. I mean, the left is the
group of people that want to have red flag laws
and pull your guns away for everything under the sun.
You know, if you say you want to if you're
stocking somebody, you say you don't like somebody, they want
to pull your guns away for the least little thing.
But they want to allow guns two people who have
clear and obvious issues delineating reality. That's just that's nonsense.
(34:07):
It's they definitely should not be able to have guns.
Speaker 5 (34:13):
I think bucket's going to turn interesting because of the
politics here. I think absolutely you could see a push
by the administration as well to add gender dysphoria back
into the DSM, the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Health.
Speaker 1 (34:28):
Disorders, which is where it used to be. It used
to be called gender dysphoria. That was what it was called.
It was a condition, a condition to be treated psychologically,
and they removed it, and now it's a civil rights cause. Well,
that might have to change.
Speaker 5 (34:44):
JJ is Eric in North Carolina. I didn't expect to
get this criticism News Talk ninety four to five WPTI
he has this to say.
Speaker 3 (34:52):
You guys need to stick to politics and sports, because
every time we all talk about movies, you sound like
a bunch of idiots. The English Patients is one of
the greatest movies made, just film wise.
Speaker 1 (35:04):
Can I just say, God, I would not expect Eric,
just based on his voice, to be exactly. I would
expect him to be a big like fan of Dolly Parton,
and maybe I would.
Speaker 5 (35:15):
I would think Eric would be calling in like NASCAR
needs to go back to when it was great.
Speaker 1 (35:20):
Like the opening. But he's gonna say that, you know,
Commando is the greatest movie ever made, Rambo First Blood.
I mean, you know, I was not expecting Eric to
be that guy could do voiceover for like old westerns
or something, Eric being a diehard English patient fan and
being upset that we didn't give it enough credit. Based
on the way he started to talk, I would have
(35:41):
lost a lot of money. You know, if you know,
you know who makes you know who makes some great
music is Liberaci. That guy really has got some great too,
you know what I mean. It's like, Okay, you wouldn't know,
you know. There you go, h l.
Speaker 5 (35:52):
Ll let's get her in here. Podcast listener, Christine wich
guy for us.
Speaker 1 (35:57):
Hey, guys, love the show.
Speaker 2 (35:58):
This is Christine and San Chan in Texas and on Seinfeld,
Mister Peterman fired Elaine because.
Speaker 1 (36:05):
She hated the English patiow. That's a great call. Now,
I remember I forgot about that. I knew it was
a thing in the show. I've been so long.
Speaker 5 (36:13):
I was young when I watched that guy liking the
English patient. The Peterman guy from Seinfeld makes sense. Our caller, Eric,
North Carolina, wouldn't have expected. What about Jody here KK
reacting to you and the Jesse Smollette doc.
Speaker 1 (36:28):
Hey, guys, Jody from Birmingham, Alabama, you were mentioned in
Jesse Smollett and Ninnies movies? Did you guys know that
he was in The Mighty Ducks. Introduced my kids to
that movie a few weeks ago, and there was a
little Jesse Smollett in the movie.
Speaker 3 (36:44):
Didn't know if y'all were aware. Thanks love, the.
Speaker 1 (36:46):
Show had no idea. Amazing
