Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome to today's edition of the Clay Travis and Buck
Sexton Show podcast.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
All right, third hour, Clay and Buck kicks off. Now
we've got the Senate informal or I should say, maybe
unwritten dress code has been relaxed by Senate majority leader
Chuck Schumer. Kind of astonishingly, Chuck Schumer is then a
(00:25):
majority leader. But here we are. That is reality. Democrats
have a majority Senate and John Fetcherman, who I believe
is an example, perhaps a harbinger of things to come
in American politics, where you have individuals who are able to,
(00:50):
based on just the machinery of the Democrat Party, get
pushed forward and serve in a role that should require
a lot of thinking and a lot of judgment and complexity.
But actually you can show up in a lumpy sweatshirt
(01:11):
and oversized basketball shorts and still do the same job.
Nobody cares whether you can speak, whether you can think,
whether you can actually dress like you're a employed United
States senator. You know, I'll tell you this, Clay, I'm
not a big dress code guy. I for example, I
(01:32):
will admit I think that the I think neckties are ridiculous.
I think they're ridiculous, and people tell me that they're not,
and I look at them like, think this one through.
Why are you doing that? It's uncomfortable, it makes no sense.
And I actually can talk about the history of the
Croatian mercenary serving in the court of King Louis in
(01:54):
France with brightly adorned cloth around their neck, and that
is where we get the cravat or cravat. Cravat was
for Croatian meversaries. You know all this is actually true.
Speaker 1 (02:05):
I've only heard you talk about it. I'd never really.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
Before the show. Yeah, I find it fascinating. I was
telling Carrie last night the history of tricorn hats. We
think about it as like, yeah, man, you know George
Washington and the Patriots and all that actually comes from
Spanish uh, Spanish soldiers sent to fight in Flanders who
turned the brims of their hats. There were circular hats.
(02:27):
They flipped the brims up because it was easier to
maneuver with the musket during parade maneuvers and stuff. Anyway,
point being, I think neck ties are ridiculous. That said,
I think you should show up and look like you
have it. You know, it looks like you have a job.
If you're a United States center, I think a sport
coat and slacks of some kind. Now, the problem with
us calling balls and strikes on this would play, as
(02:48):
you know is there have been times, I believe there
are photos of Senator Ted Cruz during a basketball game
running onto the floor of the Senate to do a
vote or something. So there have been exceptions for this briefly,
but now they're getting rid of it entirely, and I
think the fetterment effect is now extending beyond just you
don't have to be of sound mind and body of
(03:09):
the United States senator, but you don't have to show
any respect whatsoever for the role, like respect for the office.
I mean, I remember saying what you will about George W. Bush,
but the guy wore his coat in the Oval office
all the time because he thought it required some show
of respect for the people who were coming into the
Oval office. Fetterman is the opposite, and this is now
(03:29):
going to become I think, more common, more normalized among Democrats.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
So correct me if I'm wrong here is this You
can now walk on this because what you're talking about
is there was a rule where, like let's say you
were busy, right, you mentioned cruise, like you might have
to come running in and you could give a thumbs
up or thumbs down without having to actually actually enter
(03:55):
the floor. So they would give an exception, like you
could be in the cloak room of the Senate and
let's say that you had been busy for some reason,
maybe you just landed on an airplane flight or something
you haven't been able to get changed whatever, you could
run in thumbs up thumbs down. Would Fetterman now be
able to walk onto the Senate floor in like shorts
and a hoodie? Is that permissible now or that's crazy?
Speaker 2 (04:18):
Yes? Absolutely no, Like crocs are cool now you told
me this.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
Crocs.
Speaker 2 (04:24):
I have since noticed this, Like the big YouTube influencers
like Jake Paul and these people and Justin Bieber they
wear crocs now, Oh yes, since love crocs.
Speaker 1 (04:35):
They're wildly popular.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
They were considered a fashion faux pas and so well.
They were cool in the nineties and then you had
I think a lot of like doctors and nurses became
krock officionados and then and then it went out of style.
Now they're back in style. But yeah, John Fetterman could
walk on in crocs. You know, hiked up socks, basketball
(04:57):
shorts and a sweatshirt. And what is it he could
just be on the center floor all the time now
doing that, I suppose, Yeah, I think that's wrong. I mean,
I think it's weird too. And I'm not a dress
code guy. I think a lot of times dress codes
are oftentimes ridiculous. But saying, hey, we're adjusting times.
Speaker 1 (05:13):
You don't have to always be in a perfect suit,
but you should have to wear pants, normal shoes and
a jacket like that doesn't seem like to go to
a decent restaurant, it's not unheard of that you would
have to wear a button down shirt, pants and a
jacket like that seems reasonable?
Speaker 2 (05:29):
I mean, I would wonder what about for those of
you who are fans of The Big Lebowski, can Federman
show up dress like the dude wearing an oversized robe
and birkenstocks and that's it?
Speaker 1 (05:38):
Like?
Speaker 2 (05:38):
Is that to you?
Speaker 1 (05:39):
Know?
Speaker 2 (05:39):
You just come in a robe now to the center floor,
You walk out there, and you know, you talk about
how the rug holds the whole room together, et cetera.
Like it makes no sense to me that this would
be something that people would be in favor of but
they're making these exceptions for Fetterman. I think that there's
something about Fetterman's approach to all this that really appeals
(06:01):
to Democrats. That the fact that he he doesn't you know,
he doesn't want to dress the part. He doesn't want
to I don't know. I kind of think it's all
about degrading the office. I really do. I guess maybe
that's I think the whole Fetterman phenomenon is this tear
it all down, it's all crap, it's all a Joe haha.
(06:22):
And also we're gonna vote for socialism, Like that's the
sense that I get from this guy.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
I the thing that's scary about Fetterman is ony one.
So let's start there. This guy, no matter what state
you live in, is uniquely unqualified to be a senator.
He can't do the job. And we know this. He
won in Pennsylvania too. I just poured this out. He
didn't win in like some lunatic blue state. Yep, that
(06:48):
is scary that he won. And anybody who watched that debate,
he has the worst debate performance in a statewide debate
competition probably in the history of the United States.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
That's why I think I don't even know if debates matter.
Do you think debates even matter anymore? I think in
a lot of cases it just gets ignored. Well, and Buck,
here's what's even scarier. He outperformed Biden in Pennsylvania. Like
Biden won in Pennsylvania. And we know all the rig
job that was in effect in twenty twenty we know
the mass voting everything else. Twenty twenty two an off
(07:22):
year election, which typically would not bring out what I
would say is non traditional voters. Right, They're less likely
to show up for midterm years. That's true across the board. Fuck,
if you go look in like Western Pa, all of
the rural areas that are typically read voting strongholds. This
(07:42):
John Fetterman cosplay of hey, I'm a you know, blue
collar guy, when it's not in any way reflected in
his actual life, it worked.
Speaker 1 (07:55):
There were people who showed up in Pennsylvania who voted,
were more likely to vote blue because of John Fetterman.
He won by almost five points. Now you can say
doctor Oz had a challenging environment. Ostriano got smoked by
Shapiro in the governor's race in Pennsylvania.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
Yes, the people of Pennsylvania slapped away Oz's cru de
tay Trey.
Speaker 1 (08:19):
Yeah, it didn't go well, but I don't know that
any Republican candidate could have won when the governor didn't.
Didn't Shapiro win by like fourteen over something like that.
Speaker 2 (08:32):
It was fourteen. Republicans in twenty twenty two got absolutely
crushed in Pennsylvania, and everybody I know who knows Pennsylvania
state politics well says twenty twenty four is going to
be a really difficult climb as well, because of the
state apparatus the Democrats have built to get out the vote,
the voter registration, the early vote, all that stuff. They're
(08:54):
just way ahead.
Speaker 1 (08:56):
I'm gonna pull up the exact numbers, but this is
important because they're basically rebuilding the entire apparatus to support
John Fetterman. Fetterman won fifty one point two to forty
six point three, and remember he had fifty percent of
the vote in before there was actually which is crazy
(09:17):
to think about, before there was even the debate took place. Book,
but the twenty twenty two Pennsylvania governor's race was even
more of a was even more of a disaster because
Mastriano got just absolutely whipped by Shapiro and in that race,
(09:38):
and I want to make sure I got it right.
I think I was fourteen points. I think was the difference. Yeah,
he won fifty six and a half buck to forty
one point seven. So I mean that's as close to
a landslide as you can get as it can possibly be.
(09:58):
I mean, what's going to change. That's what people have
to be scared about in twenty twenty four.
Speaker 2 (10:06):
It's going to be a very real challenge. But anyway,
on the fetterman and the decorum situation, I would agree that.
I think that, like I'll even say it, like the
men's or men's suit is not comfortable. It's not a
comfortable thing. People say, oh, if you get a custom
made No, no, no, it's just not that comfortable. This
(10:28):
is reality. But I think I think it has a role.
And I think if you're a United States Senator, even
when I was in my little CIA office, we would
have to go and meet with congressman and do briefings
and things like that. You had to have jack and tie.
You have to wear it around the office of time,
you had to have it ready to go. I'm sure
it's you know, law offices too. That presentation matters, and
(10:50):
there's an expectation of professionalism that comes along with it.
And I just think that what we're seeing is, you know,
people talk about things like, oh, we need term limits
and oh we need to I look at them, like
we need not vote for people like look at who
is in positions of power in this country. Yeah, in
terms of soinility, in terms of soinility, and a whole
(11:14):
range of things.
Speaker 3 (11:15):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (11:16):
Look, we had Fetterman won by five points, he won comfortably,
and now he can't immediately gets checked into the hospital.
He can't do the job. I don't look if you
don't want to wear a suit, I think. I mean,
the fact that you could wear athletic shorts on the
floor of the United States Senate is crazy to me,
Like you couldn't wear athletic shorts to work in a
(11:38):
Senate office. The fact that we could have ever ended
up in this situation is to me pretty crazy. All Right,
we come back. I've got a we got a couple
of fun clips and a couple of fun discussion for you.
Aaron Rodgers fired back at Keith Olberman. If you haven't
heard this, it is pretty fascinating and I think it'll
make you laugh, and then we'll dive into some of this.
(12:00):
We were talking about the controversy, you know, the Virginia
woman who made sex tapes and is running for the
Virginia State House. Comparing that and how this situation surrounding
Warren Bobert is being covered is I think kind of
interesting just in terms of the way that each of
(12:22):
those incidents are being treated, and I think that'll be
an illuminating conversation. We'll also let a lot of you
guys weigh in eight hundred and two A two two
eight a two. In the meantime, this number is shocking.
More than thirty eight thousand US veterans are experiencing homelessness
across our nation. These are heroes who signed up to
protect and serve and now they're sleeping on the streets,
(12:43):
feeling abandoned. The Tunnel of the Towers Foundation is committed
to helping these heroes who have sacrificed so much for
our country, our freedoms, and for us. Through the foundations
Homeless Veteran Program, Tunnel of the Towers is providing housing,
assistants and services to US veterans who meet the programs requirements.
The Foundation's program helped over five hundred veterans last year,
(13:05):
and more than two thousand are expected to receive help
this year. These are veterans who honorably served our nation
and deserve our gratitude. If you are someone you know
as a veteran who is homeless or at risk of homelessness,
complete the Foundation's inquiry form at t twot dot org.
More than thirty eight thousand heroes who put their lives
on the line for us needs your help. You can
(13:27):
help by donating eleven dollars a month at t towot
dot org. That's t the number two t dot org,
inspiring you to seek out the truth. The Clay Travis
and Buck Sexton Show reacting to our interview with Ovik
Roy about the high cost of health coverage and health treatment.
What do you see as a nurse?
Speaker 3 (13:50):
Well, I worked at a large teaching hospital and I'm
Betsie nurse for thirty four years. We have a lot
of Medicaid patients, we have a lot of foreigners, we
have a lot of unnecessary surgeries on very old people
that are never going to walk out of this hospital.
And now we're facing backwards essential supplies and it's just enough.
(14:14):
And FYI, all the COVID patients I go into now,
some of them don't even know they have COVID. They're
here because of COVID. They just incidentally have COVID because
they're here for something else and get tested. So it's
a mess.
Speaker 2 (14:29):
Thank you you mentioned Yeah, you mentioned unnecessary surgery. Tell
me a little more about that, because that's that sort
should raise some eyebrows.
Speaker 3 (14:40):
Well, for instance, a ninety three year old patient that
had a stroke and they're going to go in into
a creamiotomy. That's this person. This person is never going
to walk out of the hospital. That's not going to
improve her life. And that's just an instant of hundreds Wow.
Speaker 1 (15:04):
The profit parentive buck. I'll give you an example. I
was just telling you this off air. It's been a
couple of years ago probably now. I went to get
a strep throat culture for one of my kids. Took
him in at the local like Vanderbilt Instant clinic. Basically right,
not serious. It's not a hospital, it's just like you know,
sort of a centric care type facility. Go in there,
(15:26):
probably like a lot of dads, I couldn't find the
right card. I couldn't find my health insurance card. I
don't know that I even had the right wallet. This
is why Dad's not in charge of a lot of things. Anyway,
they let us in, they give him the thing, and
I just gave him a credit card or whatever. They
put me down buck as a non insurance insured patient. Evidently,
(15:49):
like we ended up getting a bill cost forty dollars.
They put me down as not having health insurance. My
wife happy accident. I thought that would get a lot worse.
No forty dollars. My wife, who is far more this
is not going to surprise anybody for far more on
the ball, takes another one of our kids in for
a health minor health related issue, has her insurance card.
(16:11):
It's basically the same thing. Four hundred dollars charge. So
me and I've always wondered about that, like what happens
if you actually don't have health insurance. If you have
health insurance, you are subsidizing everybody else who doesn't, and
they charge you virtually nothing for the cover. So I
had to pay forty dollars that one time for basically
(16:32):
the exact same thing. Our health insurance we had to
pay four hundred dollars. I mean a lot of the
best doctors in a whole bunch of different specialties. Thank
you Laura for calling in. I know if she's still witting.
Speaker 2 (16:41):
There a lot of the best doctors and a bunch
of different specialties in New York City. Clay, They just
they will not take insurance.
Speaker 1 (16:49):
You just pay cash.
Speaker 2 (16:50):
You just pay cash. Yeah, and people don't. You know,
that's not often talked about in the national health care discussion,
but for doctor who can get away with it, especially
you know, for things that are for people that are
in cosmetic surgeries, things like that, it's just you write
a check or you take out your credit card and
there is no you can submit whatever you want afterwards.
(17:13):
But they don't want to hear about like oh this
is in network or out out of network. They just wants,
you know, visa MasterCard or a check. They don't care
well like you do.
Speaker 1 (17:21):
For your vet clinics, people don't most for the most part,
have insurance for their dogs. You go in and you
pay cash. It's why vets. Vet clinics in general are
such incredible businesses. Way simpler to charge because there is
no insurance complexity.
Speaker 2 (17:35):
And veterinarians make a great living and make a lot
of money, and it is a profession that is dominated
by women. So equal pay clay. What's going on something.
There's some sexism going on there. If you look at
the way the left talks about these things. If you
think the Biden administration is a one term wrecking ball,
they're not done yet. They're still quite capable of future disruptions.
(17:57):
And one of the possibilities here involves our currency system
in a fundamental way. According to former Wall Street insider
and digital currency expert Take It Towari, we may hear
about such an announcement this fall. Our currency system could
be replaced with a digital dollar that could disrupt the
lives of millions of Americas. The business publication Business Insider
has confirmed this, writing the US Treasury just made its
(18:19):
strongest indication that a central bank digital currency is on
the table. Take It to Ware believes the official announcement
could come as soon as this fall. That's why he
just released an online video to help you prepare. Go
to Dollar recall dot com to see the video. There's
some things you're gonna want to check out, and you
can take action based upon what you learn dollar recall
(18:41):
dot Com. That website is dollar Recall dot Com, paid
for by Palm Beach Research, Greed.
Speaker 1 (18:46):
Travis and Buck Sexton on the front Lines of Truth.
Speaker 2 (18:50):
All right, we got a couple stories here. One, or
to circle back to, we had mentioned one is the
fact that there is a one hundred million dollar F
thirty five fifth generation fighter plane that the pilot's fine,
he ejected, he's fine. That it went missing over South Carolina,
(19:11):
and there is as I speak to you now, unless
there's been some breaking news in the last few minutes,
no evidence yet of it having crashed anywhere. They're saying
it went into quote zombie mode, as in some kind
of an autopilot mode. So this is let's hope they
find one hundred million dollar plane that's over South Carolina
if they have not already. And they are asking the
public for tips, which I mean, I'm that that information
(19:36):
line I'm sure gets really interesting really fast there. It's like,
has anyone seen the stealth fighter plane in there, you know,
in their airspace? So we're looking into that. And then
Clay had mentioned the the it's getting a lot of
attention on a few different levels out of questions Okay,
So the congresswoman Bobert, who won a very very tight
(19:57):
re election race. Remember she was counted out and and
actually came back and won when they counted all the votes.
She is, to my recollection, a great vote in the Congress, like,
very solid, very reliable as a conservative. I've interviewed her
a couple of times. I don't really it has we'd
(20:19):
on the show. We've had we've had her on the show.
Yeah yeah, yeah, a couple of times.
Speaker 1 (20:22):
I think maybe we should reach out now invite her
on again to see what she wants to say about
this Ali.
Speaker 2 (20:26):
So yeah, So here's the thing. So she's all of
a sudden, the media is getting very puritanical over some stuff.
You know, I mean what I say, clave can I
get I'll give you credit for this, but it's amazing
there's a woman running for state office in Virginia, for
the state House in Virginia who was effectively doing online
(20:49):
pornography for profit, and that is that is fine and
and it is somehow feminist to vote for this woman.
According to Democrats Lauren Bobert. There's some video and you know,
guys getting a little getting a little handsy with her.
I think is that's what we was a little handsy
in a theater, in a darkened theater and a beetlejuice.
Here's what I did not know this. This is the
(21:09):
first thing that I think about at do they have
Do they have night vision cameras going in theaters all
across America? Like a Broadway plays and things like this,
Like so when the lights go down, are they recording
everything going on with night vision in the theater? Because
how else? Cause I mean, it's it's not a bin
laden raid, Like where did this night vision come from?
Speaker 1 (21:32):
They must I wouldn't have known that either. I mean,
and I you know, if I'm in a broad I
can see why they might do that, because for lawsuits
or security related reasons. They may be. I guess they
do have some sort of night vision cameras. Maybe they
have security monitoring the audience to make sure that everything's save.
I wouldn't have even thought about this, but they linked
(21:54):
this video and Bobert is in a you know, what
I would describe as a sexy dress on a date.
I believe she got divorced in the last year or so,
and she and her she and her date are a
little bit handsy in the dark during the theater and
then she got kicked out, I think for vaping or something.
(22:17):
We'll invite her on. We'll see if she wants to
take us through the They went to go see Beetlejuice,
I think in a Denver area theater, not a movie
the play. I didn't know Beetlejuice was a play. But
the thing that is interesting to me about this buck
is there are lots of people on the left who
(22:37):
have said Bobert has to resign over this. If you
haven't heard this controversy, it's out there. But they simultaneously
are saying it's very brave of this woman in Virginia
to have been making sex tapes and selling them, and
that she is a victim. And so I don't understand
(22:59):
how your standard for behavior for Bobert can be. You
aren't allowed to basically kind of get a little bit
handsy in a theater. Again, the only reason we know
about it is because of night vision, but that that
is unacceptable behavior for a congress person. But simultaneously, it's
(23:21):
wrong to judge a woman who actually made sex tapes
and sold them online and now wants to represent the
state of Virginia. Like to me, your standard should be
the same on this, and at a minimum, you should
be tougher on the on the person who actually made
(23:43):
sex tapes as opposed to the person who may have
gotten a little bit of handsy during a play.
Speaker 2 (23:48):
Right, to be clear, Bobert has apologized, so she has
apologies for a conic because I'm gonna say something. I
think she's been a very good vote in Congress and
has has won some really interesting races. I am. I
am ferociously protective of the theater goer environment, and you
do you do hate people with pull out for anything.
(24:09):
This is not political for me. People that are people
that start talking on their phones during the movie, People
who all of a sudden think that the hey, no
recording allowed means well, but I have to record for
my Instagram whatever's going on on stage. Like I am
the the voice that shouts out from the darkness. Literally,
I am the voice that shouts out from the darkness
(24:31):
in those situations, because you know, the civilization needs rules.
Speaker 1 (24:35):
Clay, we went in New York and if I remember,
you had to go do like a television hit or something.
And me, my wife, you're talking about when I made
tables because there was a loud table of Ruffians nearby.
There was a bunch of guys that I hate to
cast dispersions. They felt like they were from New Jersey
in the steakhouse. Wow, I feel like, hey, this is
(24:59):
a common thing in New York City, right the Bridge
and tunnel crowd. These did not feel like Manhattan natives.
And I went to GW. I know a lot about
the Jersey, the Jersey universe, all right, so these loud
I would call them New Jerseyans. We're sitting there, the
three of us, Buck walked. I can't tell you how
loud they were. I mean, this is like a table
(25:20):
of fifteen they were. It was all dudes, and they
were super loud. To be fair, they were very very loud.
But Carrie was like, Buck is going to lose his
mind when he comes back in. Like I'm paraphrasing. I
don't know that that was her exactly. I think she
said that. I think she said that, yeah, And so
but walks back and sits down. It might have been
(25:42):
forty five seconds and he immediately stands back up and
he's like, I can't do this, and so we got
we got moved. So to your point on I can
only imagine that if Bobert had been vaping and you
would have lost it Democrat or Republican behind her, I
will say this, I think that I would have had
(26:02):
I would I would have had no issue with this,
Like in the grand scheme of things, right, Like, I'm
not a huge I am more troubled by having to
sit through a musical than I am by people making
out in the crowd during the musical. Right, I hate
musicals for everybody out there. Hopefully we don't have a
huge musical audience that's you know, a huge Broadway Broadway listenership.
(26:23):
When people sing on the stage, I just think all
the time this immediately like, people don't do this, And
maybe I'm weird on this. I can't do a musical.
As soon as people start singing and dancing around on
the stage, I'm like, this would never happen in real
real life.
Speaker 3 (26:38):
I can't.
Speaker 1 (26:38):
It takes me completely out.
Speaker 2 (26:40):
Of the play.
Speaker 1 (26:41):
Actual play where people you know, talk and there's a
story and there's no singing.
Speaker 2 (26:45):
I have no issue with.
Speaker 1 (26:46):
So I would have no issue with Bobert and her
date making out. I would have more of an issue
with the Beetlejuice musical in general, which sounds miserable to
have to attend to me. But if your standard is
what is the proper decorum for someone who seeks to
represent others, it seems like sex tape would be like
(27:07):
far more significant in terms of a disqualifying event than
making out during a during a play.
Speaker 2 (27:15):
Can I throw this out there? I feel like we
are entering a period in politics where increasingly the contingent
of people who will make the case that personal conduct
short of illegality and I mean real and people are
gonna say, what about a hundred Hunters not in office?
(27:36):
But you know, and Joe, we haven't proven yet, but
you know, give it time. But basically, personal conduct no
longer matters for elected for people that are going to
be an elected office, or et cetera. I think that
you'd have a lot of people that make that claim now,
which is different than it used to be. You know,
(27:56):
we had the standard here has shifted, you know, you
can your personal life can be a little bit more
what's the word, a little more common liberte. Here's what
I Here's what I would say, Buck. I agree with
that on some level. I actually think it's worse than that.
Speaker 1 (28:14):
I think it's whatever my side does is okay, no
matter what it is, whatever the other side does, I'm
a hanging judge. So you have absolutely no leniency at
all for the opposition, and yet for your side you
will allow basically anything to give be given package.
Speaker 2 (28:32):
I'd co sign that if you let me. That. That
is where we are. So, but there are a lot
of people that will excuse it's situational excusing. But if
if a Republican does something and you're you know, you'll
get a lot of Republicans down and be like, hey,
it's not illegal. It's not you know, it's well impeachable,
and it's a whole other thing, but it's not illegal.
(28:52):
So not my problem, as long as they vote the
way that I want, or as long as they stand
for the things that I like. Democrats, obviously, I think
Democrats have kind of always been there. I think I'm
not sure they really had much of a standard when
it came to this stuff. You look at like, you know,
the Kennedys, and there's a long caring but and.
Speaker 1 (29:11):
The Clintons get away. But then they kicked over this
stupid me too thing. Olt Franken like panamimes grabbing somebody's
boobs and they kick him out, So like it's very
like that.
Speaker 2 (29:20):
Was a politically expedient panic button for them. Yeah, that's right.
It wasn't like the standard change permanently. It was just okay,
we'll we'll push frankin aside on this one. You know, Yeah,
I think Franken is a jerk. But do I think
it when you think Teddy Kennedy killed round a woman
in his car that he was clearly driving drunk and
(29:42):
we all know it, and he tried to concoct an
alibi and you know, heaven knows what was if he
was trying to make a move on this young woman
or whatever, and they didn't even care. Yeah, they didn't
even care. There's actually a chap equitic movie that came
out a few years ago. It was made by some conservatives.
It was a good movie if you haven't seen it.
They did adsport on my radio show, Clay and I
(30:03):
saw it because I was like, this sounds interesting, and
Democrats were totally fine with it. So your point about
the situational nature of it is absolutely true. But Democrats
used to say we have standards of moral conduct for
politicians and then they would selectively excuse I think now
it's democrats. They don't even pretend to have those standards
for democrats. It's just what's happening. Is the way I
would assess it, Buck is this is sports. This is
(30:26):
how sports fandom works. Your star quarterback can do almost anything, and.
Speaker 1 (30:33):
You will excuse his behavior and say, as long as
he plays like, we'll defend it.
Speaker 2 (30:38):
I have seen this because you know, I'll see when
Clay is Clay likes to get very feisty on Twitter.
You know, I tend to be a little more low key.
Clay likes to throw down with with you know, user
number seven two five nine, who's given. I used to
do it more.
Speaker 1 (30:52):
I used to get in more scraps, but I've I've
dialed back my social media usage.
Speaker 2 (30:56):
But I'll see this in the Clay scraps sometimes, and
it's amazing to see that people will if like a
quarterback is accused of a like a college quarterback is
accused of a major crime or role in the fans
of that team are like, all of a sudden, don't
want to hear it, Like you're a bad person for
bringing that up.
Speaker 1 (31:14):
That's that's a surprise. That's the situational ethics. It's basically
fandom come to politics. Where as long as somebody makes
yours team more likely to win, you will defend anything
they do, and the moment that the opposing again it's
your side, can do no wrong, you'll defend them to
the end degree. And then the minute somebody on the
(31:37):
other side does something, you want to be a hanging jury.
To me, what should happen is a standard of behavior,
like apply it evenly, regardless of the politics or the
teams that is involved. Used to be, the media did
that buck. Now the media is worthless. Like we really
don't have any fair arbiters and referees in society, which
is another reason I think everything's going to hell.

Speaker 1 (33:03):
Back in Clay Travis Buck SEXTD show. I wanted to
play this for you, Buck because Aaron Rodgers, aka your
favorite NFL player. And by the way, tons of you
reacting to the Lauren Bobert, what was the name of
the Virginia House candidate, because that election is coming up
in like six weeks. The Virginia House candidate who made
the porn Susannah Gibson.
Speaker 2 (33:26):
Can I say my prediction with that, Clay is it'll
be very close and she may even win. That's where
we are as a society, just to throw it.
Speaker 1 (33:32):
And I just look, if your position is I don't
care about the sexual behavior of any candidate, I can say, like, okay, like,
as long as it's legal, right obviously, and it appears
that I mean, certainly Lauren Bolbert didn't do anything compared
to Susannah Gibson. At least you would be consistent on
a policy perspective if you are demanding and this is
(33:53):
where a lot of leftists are right now, if you
are demanding that Lauren Bobert either resign or be potentially
charged with a crime, and you are simultaneously saying, oh,
Susannah Gibson, she's done nothing wrong. It's impossible to be
an adult and have that position. Okay, it is impossible
(34:17):
to be an adult and have that position. If you
want to throw the book at both of them, I
understand that. If you want both because you're, like I said,
kind of a libertine and you're just not that interested
in getting into issues of sexual morality as it pertains
to political candidates, I can understand that too. If you
even have a problem with the Susannah what's your name
(34:38):
against Susannah Gibson, because you're like, I mean, she was
making porn videos and selling her porn video performance for
others as opposed to Warren Bobert. Being if you're saying
like she, that's unacceptable. I can what I can't understand
in any respect. There's no way you can be opposed
to Bobert and defend in any way Susannah Gibson. So
(35:01):
that position, which is one that I have seen adopted
by many leftists on social media, is thoroughly indefensible. Okay,
speaking of a good line. Aaron Rodgers went on Pat
McAfee's show, Pat McAfee does Now an ESPN show, and
McAfee brought up the fact that Keith Olberman, who is
(35:23):
the foremost leftist imbecile this side of the view. He
was cheering because Aaron Rodgers tore his achilles tendon because
Aaron Rodgers refused to get the COVID shot. That is
the strained logic of Olberman. Aaron Rodgers was asked about it.
This is what he said, hold on.
Speaker 2 (35:39):
There's another guy, what's it Keith Olberman saying that you
love him though, because you're not vaxxed. That's why it happened.
Speaker 3 (35:45):
Yep, yeah, get your fifth booster Keith.
Speaker 1 (35:53):
Anyway, gets your feet fifth booster Keith. If you didn't
hear that, which is very funny by Aaron Rodgers and
he called him a bomb for those who are going
to get that booster. Why why aren't we seeing the
photos of the people, Remember we had the whole photo.
It's a good point.
Speaker 2 (36:10):
Well what's changed if you believe in the booster and
it's so important. I think you know you got to
take a photo of yourself getting it to show everybody
and maybe have your like you know, you're crying child
getting the shot as well, and share that photo. We
all remember that. So we're not letting this go. The
story at NBC. Maybe we'll talk abou this. In one
of the they're they're worried out there in medical establishment
(36:31):
land because they can't tell the difference between allergies a
cold and COVID. The concern is people are going to
be like, maybe it's not that big a deal.
Speaker 1 (36:42):
Seasonal allergies now the same as COVID. According did bec
Welcome to today's edition of the Clay Travis and Buck
Sexton Show podcast.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
All right, third hour, Clay and Buck kicks off. Now
we've got the Senate informal or I should say, maybe
unwritten dress code has been relaxed by Senate majority leader
Chuck Schumer. Kind of astonishingly, Chuck Schumer is then a
(00:25):
majority leader. But here we are. That is reality. Democrats
have a majority Senate and John Fetcherman, who I believe
is an example, perhaps a harbinger of things to come
in American politics, where you have individuals who are able to,
(00:50):
based on just the machinery of the Democrat Party, get
pushed forward and serve in a role that should require
a lot of thinking and a lot of judgment and complexity.
But actually you can show up in a lumpy sweatshirt
(01:11):
and oversized basketball shorts and still do the same job.
Nobody cares whether you can speak, whether you can think,
whether you can actually dress like you're a employed United
States senator. You know, I'll tell you this, Clay, I'm
not a big dress code guy. I for example, I
(01:32):
will admit I think that the I think neckties are ridiculous.
I think they're ridiculous, and people tell me that they're not,
and I look at them like, think this one through.
Why are you doing that? It's uncomfortable, it makes no sense.
And I actually can talk about the history of the
Croatian mercenary serving in the court of King Louis in
(01:54):
France with brightly adorned cloth around their neck, and that
is where we get the cravat or cravat. Cravat was
for Croatian meversaries. You know all this is actually true.
Speaker 1 (02:05):
I've only heard you talk about it. I'd never really.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
Before the show. Yeah, I find it fascinating. I was
telling Carrie last night the history of tricorn hats. We
think about it as like, yeah, man, you know George
Washington and the Patriots and all that actually comes from
Spanish uh, Spanish soldiers sent to fight in Flanders who
turned the brims of their hats. There were circular hats.
(02:27):
They flipped the brims up because it was easier to
maneuver with the musket during parade maneuvers and stuff. Anyway,
point being, I think neck ties are ridiculous. That said,
I think you should show up and look like you
have it. You know, it looks like you have a job.
If you're a United States center, I think a sport
coat and slacks of some kind. Now, the problem with
us calling balls and strikes on this would play, as
(02:48):
you know is there have been times, I believe there
are photos of Senator Ted Cruz during a basketball game
running onto the floor of the Senate to do a
vote or something. So there have been exceptions for this briefly,
but now they're getting rid of it entirely, and I
think the fetterment effect is now extending beyond just you
don't have to be of sound mind and body of
(03:09):
the United States senator, but you don't have to show
any respect whatsoever for the role, like respect for the office.
I mean, I remember saying what you will about George W. Bush,
but the guy wore his coat in the Oval office
all the time because he thought it required some show
of respect for the people who were coming into the
Oval office. Fetterman is the opposite, and this is now
(03:29):
going to become I think, more common, more normalized among Democrats.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
So correct me if I'm wrong here is this You
can now walk on this because what you're talking about
is there was a rule where, like let's say you
were busy, right, you mentioned cruise, like you might have
to come running in and you could give a thumbs
up or thumbs down without having to actually actually enter
(03:55):
the floor. So they would give an exception, like you
could be in the cloak room of the Senate and
let's say that you had been busy for some reason,
maybe you just landed on an airplane flight or something
you haven't been able to get changed whatever, you could
run in thumbs up thumbs down. Would Fetterman now be
able to walk onto the Senate floor in like shorts
and a hoodie? Is that permissible now or that's crazy?
Speaker 2 (04:18):
Yes? Absolutely no, Like crocs are cool now you told
me this.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
Crocs.
Speaker 2 (04:24):
I have since noticed this, Like the big YouTube influencers
like Jake Paul and these people and Justin Bieber they
wear crocs now, Oh yes, since love crocs.
Speaker 1 (04:35):
They're wildly popular.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
They were considered a fashion faux pas and so well.
They were cool in the nineties and then you had
I think a lot of like doctors and nurses became
krock officionados and then and then it went out of style.
Now they're back in style. But yeah, John Fetterman could
walk on in crocs. You know, hiked up socks, basketball
(04:57):
shorts and a sweatshirt. And what is it he could
just be on the center floor all the time now
doing that, I suppose, Yeah, I think that's wrong. I mean,
I think it's weird too. And I'm not a dress
code guy. I think a lot of times dress codes
are oftentimes ridiculous. But saying, hey, we're adjusting times.
Speaker 1 (05:13):
You don't have to always be in a perfect suit,
but you should have to wear pants, normal shoes and
a jacket like that doesn't seem like to go to
a decent restaurant, it's not unheard of that you would
have to wear a button down shirt, pants and a
jacket like that seems reasonable?
Speaker 2 (05:29):
I mean, I would wonder what about for those of
you who are fans of The Big Lebowski, can Federman
show up dress like the dude wearing an oversized robe
and birkenstocks and that's it?
Speaker 1 (05:38):
Like?
Speaker 2 (05:38):
Is that to you?
Speaker 1 (05:39):
Know?
Speaker 2 (05:39):
You just come in a robe now to the center floor,
You walk out there, and you know, you talk about
how the rug holds the whole room together, et cetera.
Like it makes no sense to me that this would
be something that people would be in favor of but
they're making these exceptions for Fetterman. I think that there's
something about Fetterman's approach to all this that really appeals
(06:01):
to Democrats. That the fact that he he doesn't you know,
he doesn't want to dress the part. He doesn't want
to I don't know. I kind of think it's all
about degrading the office. I really do. I guess maybe
that's I think the whole Fetterman phenomenon is this tear
it all down, it's all crap, it's all a Joe haha.
(06:22):
And also we're gonna vote for socialism, Like that's the
sense that I get from this guy.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
I the thing that's scary about Fetterman is ony one.
So let's start there. This guy, no matter what state
you live in, is uniquely unqualified to be a senator.
He can't do the job. And we know this. He
won in Pennsylvania too. I just poured this out. He
didn't win in like some lunatic blue state. Yep, that
(06:48):
is scary that he won. And anybody who watched that debate,
he has the worst debate performance in a statewide debate
competition probably in the history of the United States.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
That's why I think I don't even know if debates matter.
Do you think debates even matter anymore? I think in
a lot of cases it just gets ignored. Well, and Buck,
here's what's even scarier. He outperformed Biden in Pennsylvania. Like
Biden won in Pennsylvania. And we know all the rig
job that was in effect in twenty twenty we know
the mass voting everything else. Twenty twenty two an off
(07:22):
year election, which typically would not bring out what I
would say is non traditional voters. Right, They're less likely
to show up for midterm years. That's true across the board. Fuck,
if you go look in like Western Pa, all of
the rural areas that are typically read voting strongholds. This
(07:42):
John Fetterman cosplay of hey, I'm a you know, blue
collar guy, when it's not in any way reflected in
his actual life, it worked.
Speaker 1 (07:55):
There were people who showed up in Pennsylvania who voted,
were more likely to vote blue because of John Fetterman.
He won by almost five points. Now you can say
doctor Oz had a challenging environment. Ostriano got smoked by
Shapiro in the governor's race in Pennsylvania.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
Yes, the people of Pennsylvania slapped away Oz's cru de
tay Trey.
Speaker 1 (08:19):
Yeah, it didn't go well, but I don't know that
any Republican candidate could have won when the governor didn't.
Didn't Shapiro win by like fourteen over something like that.
Speaker 2 (08:32):
It was fourteen. Republicans in twenty twenty two got absolutely
crushed in Pennsylvania, and everybody I know who knows Pennsylvania
state politics well says twenty twenty four is going to
be a really difficult climb as well, because of the
state apparatus the Democrats have built to get out the vote,
the voter registration, the early vote, all that stuff. They're
(08:54):
just way ahead.
Speaker 1 (08:56):
I'm gonna pull up the exact numbers, but this is
important because they're basically rebuilding the entire apparatus to support
John Fetterman. Fetterman won fifty one point two to forty
six point three, and remember he had fifty percent of
the vote in before there was actually which is crazy
(09:17):
to think about, before there was even the debate took place. Book,
but the twenty twenty two Pennsylvania governor's race was even
more of a was even more of a disaster because
Mastriano got just absolutely whipped by Shapiro and in that race,
(09:38):
and I want to make sure I got it right.
I think I was fourteen points. I think was the difference. Yeah,
he won fifty six and a half buck to forty
one point seven. So I mean that's as close to
a landslide as you can get as it can possibly be.
(09:58):
I mean, what's going to change. That's what people have
to be scared about in twenty twenty four.
Speaker 2 (10:06):
It's going to be a very real challenge. But anyway,
on the fetterman and the decorum situation, I would agree that.
I think that, like I'll even say it, like the
men's or men's suit is not comfortable. It's not a
comfortable thing. People say, oh, if you get a custom
made No, no, no, it's just not that comfortable. This
(10:28):
is reality. But I think I think it has a role.
And I think if you're a United States Senator, even
when I was in my little CIA office, we would
have to go and meet with congressman and do briefings
and things like that. You had to have jack and tie.
You have to wear it around the office of time,
you had to have it ready to go. I'm sure
it's you know, law offices too. That presentation matters, and
(10:50):
there's an expectation of professionalism that comes along with it.
And I just think that what we're seeing is, you know,
people talk about things like, oh, we need term limits
and oh we need to I look at them, like
we need not vote for people like look at who
is in positions of power in this country. Yeah, in
terms of soinility, in terms of soinility, and a whole
(11:14):
range of things.
Speaker 3 (11:15):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (11:16):
Look, we had Fetterman won by five points, he won comfortably,
and now he can't immediately gets checked into the hospital.
He can't do the job. I don't look if you
don't want to wear a suit, I think. I mean,
the fact that you could wear athletic shorts on the
floor of the United States Senate is crazy to me,
Like you couldn't wear athletic shorts to work in a
(11:38):
Senate office. The fact that we could have ever ended
up in this situation is to me pretty crazy. All Right,
we come back. I've got a we got a couple
of fun clips and a couple of fun discussion for you.
Aaron Rodgers fired back at Keith Olberman. If you haven't
heard this, it is pretty fascinating and I think it'll
make you laugh, and then we'll dive into some of this.
(12:00):
We were talking about the controversy, you know, the Virginia
woman who made sex tapes and is running for the
Virginia State House. Comparing that and how this situation surrounding
Warren Bobert is being covered is I think kind of
interesting just in terms of the way that each of
(12:22):
those incidents are being treated, and I think that'll be
an illuminating conversation. We'll also let a lot of you
guys weigh in eight hundred and two A two two
eight a two. In the meantime, this number is shocking.
More than thirty eight thousand US veterans are experiencing homelessness
across our nation. These are heroes who signed up to
protect and serve and now they're sleeping on the streets,
(12:43):
feeling abandoned. The Tunnel of the Towers Foundation is committed
to helping these heroes who have sacrificed so much for
our country, our freedoms, and for us. Through the foundations
Homeless Veteran Program, Tunnel of the Towers is providing housing,
assistants and services to US veterans who meet the programs requirements.
The Foundation's program helped over five hundred veterans last year,
(13:05):
and more than two thousand are expected to receive help
this year. These are veterans who honorably served our nation
and deserve our gratitude. If you are someone you know
as a veteran who is homeless or at risk of homelessness,

inspiring you to seek out the truth. The Clay Travis
and Buck Sexton Show reacting to our interview with Ovik
Roy about the high cost of health coverage and health treatment.
What do you see as a nurse?
Speaker 3 (13:50):
Well, I worked at a large teaching hospital and I'm
Betsie nurse for thirty four years. We have a lot
of Medicaid patients, we have a lot of foreigners, we
have a lot of unnecessary surgeries on very old people
that are never going to walk out of this hospital.
And now we're facing backwards essential supplies and it's just enough.
(14:14):
And FYI, all the COVID patients I go into now,
some of them don't even know they have COVID. They're
here because of COVID. They just incidentally have COVID because
they're here for something else and get tested. So it's
a mess.
Speaker 2 (14:29):
Thank you you mentioned Yeah, you mentioned unnecessary surgery. Tell
me a little more about that, because that's that sort
should raise some eyebrows.
Speaker 3 (14:40):
Well, for instance, a ninety three year old patient that
had a stroke and they're going to go in into
a creamiotomy. That's this person. This person is never going
to walk out of the hospital. That's not going to
improve her life. And that's just an instant of hundreds Wow.
Speaker 1 (15:04):
The profit parentive buck. I'll give you an example. I
was just telling you this off air. It's been a
couple of years ago probably now. I went to get
a strep throat culture for one of my kids. Took
him in at the local like Vanderbilt Instant clinic. Basically right,
not serious. It's not a hospital, it's just like you know,
sort of a centric care type facility. Go in there,
(15:26):
probably like a lot of dads, I couldn't find the
right card. I couldn't find my health insurance card. I
don't know that I even had the right wallet. This
is why Dad's not in charge of a lot of things. Anyway,
they let us in, they give him the thing, and
I just gave him a credit card or whatever. They
put me down buck as a non insurance insured patient. Evidently,
(15:49):
like we ended up getting a bill cost forty dollars.
They put me down as not having health insurance. My
wife happy accident. I thought that would get a lot worse.
No forty dollars. My wife, who is far more this
is not going to surprise anybody for far more on
the ball, takes another one of our kids in for
a health minor health related issue, has her insurance card.
(16:11):
It's basically the same thing. Four hundred dollars charge. So
me and I've always wondered about that, like what happens
if you actually don't have health insurance. If you have
health insurance, you are subsidizing everybody else who doesn't, and
they charge you virtually nothing for the cover. So I
had to pay forty dollars that one time for basically
(16:32):
the exact same thing. Our health insurance we had to
pay four hundred dollars. I mean a lot of the
best doctors in a whole bunch of different specialties. Thank
you Laura for calling in. I know if she's still witting.
Speaker 2 (16:41):
There a lot of the best doctors and a bunch
of different specialties in New York City. Clay, They just
they will not take insurance.
Speaker 1 (16:49):
You just pay cash.
Speaker 2 (16:50):
You just pay cash. Yeah, and people don't. You know,
that's not often talked about in the national health care discussion,
but for doctor who can get away with it, especially
you know, for things that are for people that are
in cosmetic surgeries, things like that, it's just you write
a check or you take out your credit card and
there is no you can submit whatever you want afterwards.
(17:13):
But they don't want to hear about like oh this
is in network or out out of network. They just wants,
you know, visa MasterCard or a check. They don't care
well like you do.
Speaker 1 (17:21):
For your vet clinics, people don't most for the most part,
have insurance for their dogs. You go in and you
pay cash. It's why vets. Vet clinics in general are
such incredible businesses. Way simpler to charge because there is
no insurance complexity.
Speaker 2 (17:35):
And veterinarians make a great living and make a lot
of money, and it is a profession that is dominated
by women. So equal pay clay. What's going on something.
There's some sexism going on there. If you look at
the way the left talks about these things. If you
think the Biden administration is a one term wrecking ball,
they're not done yet. They're still quite capable of future disruptions.
(17:57):
And one of the possibilities here involves our currency system
in a fundamental way. According to former Wall Street insider
and digital currency expert Take It Towari, we may hear
about such an announcement this fall. Our currency system could
be replaced with a digital dollar that could disrupt the
lives of millions of Americas. The business publication Business Insider
has confirmed this, writing the US Treasury just made its
(18:19):
strongest indication that a central bank digital currency is on
the table. Take It to Ware believes the official announcement
could come as soon as this fall. That's why he
just released an online video to help you prepare. Go
to Dollar recall dot com to see the video. There's
some things you're gonna want to check out, and you
can take action based upon what you learn dollar recall

for by Palm Beach Research, Greed.
Speaker 1 (18:46):
Travis and Buck Sexton on the front Lines of Truth.
Speaker 2 (18:50):
All right, we got a couple stories here. One, or
to circle back to, we had mentioned one is the
fact that there is a one hundred million dollar F
thirty five fifth generation fighter plane that the pilot's fine,
he ejected, he's fine. That it went missing over South Carolina,
(19:11):
and there is as I speak to you now, unless
there's been some breaking news in the last few minutes,
no evidence yet of it having crashed anywhere. They're saying
it went into quote zombie mode, as in some kind
of an autopilot mode. So this is let's hope they
find one hundred million dollar plane that's over South Carolina
if they have not already. And they are asking the
public for tips, which I mean, I'm that that information
(19:36):
line I'm sure gets really interesting really fast there. It's like,
has anyone seen the stealth fighter plane in there, you know,
in their airspace? So we're looking into that. And then
Clay had mentioned the the it's getting a lot of
attention on a few different levels out of questions Okay,
So the congresswoman Bobert, who won a very very tight
(19:57):
re election race. Remember she was counted out and and
actually came back and won when they counted all the votes.
She is, to my recollection, a great vote in the Congress, like,
very solid, very reliable as a conservative. I've interviewed her
a couple of times. I don't really it has we'd
(20:19):
on the show. We've had we've had her on the show.
Yeah yeah, yeah, a couple of times.
Speaker 1 (20:22):
I think maybe we should reach out now invite her
on again to see what she wants to say about
this Ali.
Speaker 2 (20:26):
So yeah, So here's the thing. So she's all of
a sudden, the media is getting very puritanical over some stuff.
You know, I mean what I say, clave can I
get I'll give you credit for this, but it's amazing
there's a woman running for state office in Virginia, for
the state House in Virginia who was effectively doing online
(20:49):
pornography for profit, and that is that is fine and
and it is somehow feminist to vote for this woman.
According to Democrats Lauren Bobert. There's some video and you know,
guys getting a little getting a little handsy with her.
I think is that's what we was a little handsy
in a theater, in a darkened theater and a beetlejuice.
Here's what I did not know this. This is the
(21:09):
first thing that I think about at do they have
Do they have night vision cameras going in theaters all
across America? Like a Broadway plays and things like this,
Like so when the lights go down, are they recording
everything going on with night vision in the theater? Because
how else? Cause I mean, it's it's not a bin
laden raid, Like where did this night vision come from?
Speaker 1 (21:32):
They must I wouldn't have known that either. I mean,
and I you know, if I'm in a broad I
can see why they might do that, because for lawsuits
or security related reasons. They may be. I guess they
do have some sort of night vision cameras. Maybe they
have security monitoring the audience to make sure that everything's save.
I wouldn't have even thought about this, but they linked
(21:54):
this video and Bobert is in a you know, what
I would describe as a sexy dress on a date.
I believe she got divorced in the last year or so,
and she and her she and her date are a
little bit handsy in the dark during the theater and
then she got kicked out, I think for vaping or something.
(22:17):
We'll invite her on. We'll see if she wants to
take us through the They went to go see Beetlejuice,
I think in a Denver area theater, not a movie
the play. I didn't know Beetlejuice was a play. But
the thing that is interesting to me about this buck
is there are lots of people on the left who
(22:37):
have said Bobert has to resign over this. If you
haven't heard this controversy, it's out there. But they simultaneously
are saying it's very brave of this woman in Virginia
to have been making sex tapes and selling them, and
that she is a victim. And so I don't understand
(22:59):
how your standard for behavior for Bobert can be. You
aren't allowed to basically kind of get a little bit
handsy in a theater. Again, the only reason we know
about it is because of night vision, but that that
is unacceptable behavior for a congress person. But simultaneously, it's
(23:21):
wrong to judge a woman who actually made sex tapes
and sold them online and now wants to represent the
state of Virginia. Like to me, your standard should be
the same on this, and at a minimum, you should
be tougher on the on the person who actually made
(23:43):
sex tapes as opposed to the person who may have
gotten a little bit of handsy during a play.
Speaker 2 (23:48):
Right, to be clear, Bobert has apologized, so she has
apologies for a conic because I'm gonna say something. I
think she's been a very good vote in Congress and
has has won some really interesting races. I am. I
am ferociously protective of the theater goer environment, and you
do you do hate people with pull out for anything.
(24:09):
This is not political for me. People that are people
that start talking on their phones during the movie, People
who all of a sudden think that the hey, no
recording allowed means well, but I have to record for
my Instagram whatever's going on on stage. Like I am
the the voice that shouts out from the darkness. Literally,
I am the voice that shouts out from the darkness
(24:31):
in those situations, because you know, the civilization needs rules.
Speaker 1 (24:35):
Clay, we went in New York and if I remember,
you had to go do like a television hit or something.
And me, my wife, you're talking about when I made
tables because there was a loud table of Ruffians nearby.
There was a bunch of guys that I hate to
cast dispersions. They felt like they were from New Jersey
in the steakhouse. Wow, I feel like, hey, this is
(24:59):
a common thing in New York City, right the Bridge
and tunnel crowd. These did not feel like Manhattan natives.
And I went to GW. I know a lot about
the Jersey, the Jersey universe, all right, so these loud
I would call them New Jerseyans. We're sitting there, the
three of us, Buck walked. I can't tell you how
loud they were. I mean, this is like a table
(25:20):
of fifteen they were. It was all dudes, and they
were super loud. To be fair, they were very very loud.
But Carrie was like, Buck is going to lose his
mind when he comes back in. Like I'm paraphrasing. I
don't know that that was her exactly. I think she
said that. I think she said that, yeah, And so
but walks back and sits down. It might have been
(25:42):
forty five seconds and he immediately stands back up and
he's like, I can't do this, and so we got
we got moved. So to your point on I can
only imagine that if Bobert had been vaping and you
would have lost it Democrat or Republican behind her, I
will say this, I think that I would have had
(26:02):
I would I would have had no issue with this,
Like in the grand scheme of things, right, Like, I'm
not a huge I am more troubled by having to
sit through a musical than I am by people making
out in the crowd during the musical. Right, I hate
musicals for everybody out there. Hopefully we don't have a
huge musical audience that's you know, a huge Broadway Broadway listenership.
(26:23):
When people sing on the stage, I just think all
the time this immediately like, people don't do this, And
maybe I'm weird on this. I can't do a musical.
As soon as people start singing and dancing around on
the stage, I'm like, this would never happen in real
real life.
Speaker 3 (26:38):
I can't.
Speaker 1 (26:38):
It takes me completely out.
Speaker 2 (26:40):
Of the play.
Speaker 1 (26:41):
Actual play where people you know, talk and there's a
story and there's no singing.
Speaker 2 (26:45):
I have no issue with.
Speaker 1 (26:46):
So I would have no issue with Bobert and her
date making out. I would have more of an issue
with the Beetlejuice musical in general, which sounds miserable to
have to attend to me. But if your standard is
what is the proper decorum for someone who seeks to
represent others, it seems like sex tape would be like
(27:07):
far more significant in terms of a disqualifying event than
making out during a during a play.
Speaker 2 (27:15):
Can I throw this out there? I feel like we
are entering a period in politics where increasingly the contingent
of people who will make the case that personal conduct
short of illegality and I mean real and people are
gonna say, what about a hundred Hunters not in office?
(27:36):
But you know, and Joe, we haven't proven yet, but
you know, give it time. But basically, personal conduct no
longer matters for elected for people that are going to
be an elected office, or et cetera. I think that
you'd have a lot of people that make that claim now,
which is different than it used to be. You know,
(27:56):
we had the standard here has shifted, you know, you
can your personal life can be a little bit more
what's the word, a little more common liberte. Here's what
I Here's what I would say, Buck. I agree with
that on some level. I actually think it's worse than that.
Speaker 1 (28:14):
I think it's whatever my side does is okay, no
matter what it is, whatever the other side does, I'm
a hanging judge. So you have absolutely no leniency at
all for the opposition, and yet for your side you
will allow basically anything to give be given package.
Speaker 2 (28:32):
I'd co sign that if you let me. That. That
is where we are. So, but there are a lot
of people that will excuse it's situational excusing. But if
if a Republican does something and you're you know, you'll
get a lot of Republicans down and be like, hey,
it's not illegal. It's not you know, it's well impeachable,
and it's a whole other thing, but it's not illegal.
(28:52):
So not my problem, as long as they vote the
way that I want, or as long as they stand
for the things that I like. Democrats, obviously, I think
Democrats have kind of always been there. I think I'm
not sure they really had much of a standard when
it came to this stuff. You look at like, you know,
the Kennedys, and there's a long caring but and.
Speaker 1 (29:11):
The Clintons get away. But then they kicked over this
stupid me too thing. Olt Franken like panamimes grabbing somebody's
boobs and they kick him out, So like it's very
like that.
Speaker 2 (29:20):
Was a politically expedient panic button for them. Yeah, that's right.
It wasn't like the standard change permanently. It was just okay,
we'll we'll push frankin aside on this one. You know, Yeah,
I think Franken is a jerk. But do I think
it when you think Teddy Kennedy killed round a woman
in his car that he was clearly driving drunk and
(29:42):
we all know it, and he tried to concoct an
alibi and you know, heaven knows what was if he
was trying to make a move on this young woman
or whatever, and they didn't even care. Yeah, they didn't
even care. There's actually a chap equitic movie that came
out a few years ago. It was made by some conservatives.
It was a good movie if you haven't seen it.
They did adsport on my radio show, Clay and I
(30:03):
saw it because I was like, this sounds interesting, and
Democrats were totally fine with it. So your point about
the situational nature of it is absolutely true. But Democrats
used to say we have standards of moral conduct for
politicians and then they would selectively excuse I think now
it's democrats. They don't even pretend to have those standards
for democrats. It's just what's happening. Is the way I
would assess it, Buck is this is sports. This is
(30:26):
how sports fandom works. Your star quarterback can do almost anything, and.
Speaker 1 (30:33):
You will excuse his behavior and say, as long as
he plays like, we'll defend it.
Speaker 2 (30:38):
I have seen this because you know, I'll see when
Clay is Clay likes to get very feisty on Twitter.
You know, I tend to be a little more low key.
Clay likes to throw down with with you know, user
number seven two five nine, who's given. I used to
do it more.
Speaker 1 (30:52):
I used to get in more scraps, but I've I've
dialed back my social media usage.
Speaker 2 (30:56):
But I'll see this in the Clay scraps sometimes, and
it's amazing to see that people will if like a
quarterback is accused of a like a college quarterback is
accused of a major crime or role in the fans
of that team are like, all of a sudden, don't
want to hear it, Like you're a bad person for
bringing that up.
Speaker 1 (31:14):
That's that's a surprise. That's the situational ethics. It's basically
fandom come to politics. Where as long as somebody makes
yours team more likely to win, you will defend anything
they do, and the moment that the opposing again it's
your side, can do no wrong, you'll defend them to
the end degree. And then the minute somebody on the
(31:37):
other side does something, you want to be a hanging jury.
To me, what should happen is a standard of behavior,
like apply it evenly, regardless of the politics or the
teams that is involved. Used to be, the media did
that buck. Now the media is worthless. Like we really
don't have any fair arbiters and referees in society, which
is another reason I think everything's going to hell.

Speaker 1 (33:03):
Back in Clay Travis Buck SEXTD show. I wanted to
play this for you, Buck because Aaron Rodgers, aka your
favorite NFL player. And by the way, tons of you
reacting to the Lauren Bobert, what was the name of
the Virginia House candidate, because that election is coming up
in like six weeks. The Virginia House candidate who made
the porn Susannah Gibson.
Speaker 2 (33:26):
Can I say my prediction with that, Clay is it'll
be very close and she may even win. That's where
we are as a society, just to throw it.
Speaker 1 (33:32):
And I just look, if your position is I don't
care about the sexual behavior of any candidate, I can say, like, okay, like,
as long as it's legal, right obviously, and it appears
that I mean, certainly Lauren Bolbert didn't do anything compared
to Susannah Gibson. At least you would be consistent on
a policy perspective if you are demanding and this is
(33:53):
where a lot of leftists are right now, if you
are demanding that Lauren Bobert either resign or be potentially
charged with a crime, and you are simultaneously saying, oh,
Susannah Gibson, she's done nothing wrong. It's impossible to be
an adult and have that position. Okay, it is impossible
(34:17):
to be an adult and have that position. If you
want to throw the book at both of them, I
understand that. If you want both because you're, like I said,
kind of a libertine and you're just not that interested
in getting into issues of sexual morality as it pertains
to political candidates, I can understand that too. If you
even have a problem with the Susannah what's your name
(34:38):
against Susannah Gibson, because you're like, I mean, she was
making porn videos and selling her porn video performance for
others as opposed to Warren Bobert. Being if you're saying
like she, that's unacceptable. I can what I can't understand
in any respect. There's no way you can be opposed
to Bobert and defend in any way Susannah Gibson. So
(35:01):
that position, which is one that I have seen adopted
by many leftists on social media, is thoroughly indefensible. Okay,
speaking of a good line. Aaron Rodgers went on Pat
McAfee's show, Pat McAfee does Now an ESPN show, and
McAfee brought up the fact that Keith Olberman, who is
(35:23):
the foremost leftist imbecile this side of the view. He
was cheering because Aaron Rodgers tore his achilles tendon because
Aaron Rodgers refused to get the COVID shot. That is
the strained logic of Olberman. Aaron Rodgers was asked about it.
This is what he said, hold on.
Speaker 2 (35:39):
There's another guy, what's it Keith Olberman saying that you
love him though, because you're not vaxxed. That's why it happened.
Speaker 3 (35:45):
Yep, yeah, get your fifth booster Keith.
Speaker 1 (35:53):
Anyway, gets your feet fifth booster Keith. If you didn't
hear that, which is very funny by Aaron Rodgers and
he called him a bomb for those who are going
to get that booster. Why why aren't we seeing the
photos of the people, Remember we had the whole photo.
It's a good point.
Speaker 2 (36:10):
Well what's changed if you believe in the booster and
it's so important. I think you know you got to
take a photo of yourself getting it to show everybody
and maybe have your like you know, you're crying child
getting the shot as well, and share that photo. We
all remember that. So we're not letting this go. The
story at NBC. Maybe we'll talk abou this. In one
of the they're they're worried out there in medical establishment
(36:31):
land because they can't tell the difference between allergies a
cold and COVID. The concern is people are going to
be like, maybe it's not that big a deal.
Speaker 1 (36:42):
Seasonal allergies now the same as COVID. According did bec
