In the final hour of the week's Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show, Clay Travis hosted solo while Buck Sexton wrapped up his week meeting with advertisers in Cannes on the French Riviera. Travis opened hour 3 with breaking news about failed debt talks between Europe and Iran, emphasizing that Iranian leadership cannot be trusted as they pursue nuclear weapons. He mentioned former President Trump's statement about potentially using bunker buster bombs against Iranian nuclear facilities within two weeks.
The broadcast featured significant discussion about the movie "Jaws" as it approaches its 50th anniversary. Travis provocatively argued that "Jaws" is the most influential movie of all time, prompting listener calls with alternative suggestions including "Rocky." Travis shared personal stories about how "Jaws" affected his own relationship with swimming, noting he was afraid to swim even in pools at night after seeing the film. Multiple callers shared similar experiences, including one 58-year-old listener who still won't swim in ocean water where he can't touch the sand.
During this third hour, Travis also discussed his dislike for jogging and biking as exercise methods, sharing an anecdote about reluctantly going for a run with his former college roommate.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome in Hour number three, final hour of the week,
play Travis Buck Sexton show Buck We'll be back on
Monday from Europe. He has spent the week on the
French Riviera meeting with advertisers and can looking forward to
be back together again on Monday. A lot of different
(00:21):
stories out there. Let me update you on the latest
reports that talks in Europe with Iran have failed. Iran
is really kind of playing this in an interesting way.
At any point, all of their leadership could be wiped
out only by the grace of God and basically Israeli
(00:44):
fighter plans. Are they still alive at all? Yet they
appear to be refusing to negotiate. I don't know what
the historical analogy for this would be, but Iran failing
to reach any sort of agreement in Europe. And here's
the bigger picture issue that I've been talking about quite
some time. You can never trust this Iranian leadership. They
(01:06):
want nuclear weapons. It makes imminent logical sense for them
to have nuclear weapons because it would preserve their political
power forever, potentially, much like has happened with North Korea.
So anything they tell you is likely to be a lie,
and you cannot negotiate with them in good faith at all.
(01:27):
So that is the latest on Iran and Israel. As
I mentioned yesterday, Trump said he will decide in the
next two weeks whether or not to go in with
the big bunker buster bomb, among other things. And I
do think probably the worst job in the world to
have right now is working in that four dough nuclear
(01:48):
mountain site. Your job may not be great. You might
be listening to me right now, hunched over in your cubicle,
pretending to be working on your TPS reports, But odds
are you're not also thinking, Hey, at any moment, a
bomb might wipe out my entire business. I get it.
(02:10):
It's Friday afternoon in many parts of the country. You're
probably ready for the weekend to be here. You may
hate your job, but I'm here to tell you the
guys working in the Iranian nuclear mountain factory they got
a job than you. They're just showing up. At any
moment they might get blown up. That seems like not
(02:31):
an ideal job to have. Maybe the worst in the
world right now. The Ninth Circuit this was I haven't
spent much time on this because there's so many district
court judges six hundred some odd of them, and they're
about half of them hate Trump, and they're constantly coming
out with anti Trump rulings. The latest that happened was
a district federal district court judge in California said Trump
(02:55):
couldn't call out the National Guard. Evidently that judge has
no idea what actually the supremacy clause means, which is
the National Guard is controlled by the National Leader aka Trump.
And now the Ninth Circuit, including I believe it's an
Obama appointee as well, has ruled three to zero that
Trump controls the National Guard and is able to deploy
(03:18):
them in Los Angeles. This is not a very complicated
legal issue. Some legal issues are very complicated. Evidently, Gavin
Newsom is going to continue to appeal that there is
also so Trump is going to win that one. I
will tell you anyone with a functional brain who is
basic knowledge of the law will tell you so. Gavin
(03:38):
Newsom exulting because one random district court judge said that
he controlled the California National Guard, not Trump, was laughably absurd,
and I think it's been exposed to be such. A
judge has also ordered again these district court judges have
emerged as the peak of the Trump two point zero opposition,
(04:02):
the peak of the spear, as it were. And a
federal judge in New Jersey has ordered that my Mood Khalil,
three months after the former Columbia student was detained, should
be released. So anyway that will be appealed. Federal district
court judges, about half of them hate Trump and they
(04:24):
will try to enter in place nationwide injunctions or rulings
that will apply nationwide that are of a substantial nature.
So that is where we are with the current breaking
news stories of the day. Now, I wanted to hit
(04:46):
you with a couple of other things that are out there.
We've been talking about Obama being usurped by Trump as
by far the most consequential figure that is out there.
I also told you it. This is the fiftieth anniversary
of the release of the movie Jaws. It initially came
out in nineteen seventy five. We've been having some fun
(05:07):
with this. Many of you guys want to react to
the impact of Jaws in your life. I'm arguing it's
the most influential movie of all time, not because it
is the best movie of all time, but just because
it impacts people's thoughts and decisions in life more than
any movie that has been released I think of all time.
So we'll have some fun with that here in the
(05:29):
third hour, as is the fiftieth anniversary. You guys can
tee off on me, or you can agree a lot
of different people. But I didn't want to play this
cut for you because I think it's emblematic of the
failure of Democrats to really understand the world in which
we are living right now. Maxwell Frost, who is a
(05:50):
congressman from Florida right the Orlando area, I believe team
look that up and make sure that I'm right, says Hey,
he's got a big fear the United States is at
risk of turning into Florida. This is cut thirty three.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
Listen, you know this, This fight against far right neo fascism,
for me at least was mainly taking stage in my
home in Florida, fighting against Ronda Santis and the extremism there.
And something I always told people is that Project twenty
twenty five is actually Florida twenty twenty two, Florida twenty
twenty and the stuff that's going on around the country
(06:27):
right now we've actually been dealing with in the South
for a long time, especially in my state of Florida.
So the difference is it's like the struggle in my
state has kind of been just spread throughout the nation,
and honestly, that day after election Day had a hard
time getting up.
Speaker 1 (06:42):
Okay, So I think this is this is really very interesting,
honestly because ultimately the debate that I believe we're going
to have is going to move beyond Trump. Now, it
doesn't mean that again by the midterms twenty twenty seven
to twenty twenty eight election cycle is going to be underway.
And I don't think this is a bad way of
(07:04):
distilling what that argument is going to be. And I
think the problem Democrats have is they're on the wrong
side of a really bad argument. If you had to say, hey,
which two states right now are the avatar of Republican
and Democrat belief systems writ large? Which individual state represents
(07:30):
Red state America, Which individual state represents Blue state America.
I think that Florida under Governor Ron De Santis would
be the avatar for Red state America. Now, you could
argue Texas, you could argue Tennessee. I would argue that
(07:51):
those three are probably the trio, the triangle of Hey,
this is what red state America represents. Would actually argue
that Florida probably is the best. Now, why would I
say that? No state income tax in Florida, no state
income tax in Tennessee, no state income tax in Texas.
(08:12):
So incredibly low tax states, very dynamic economies, rapidly growing populations,
all Republican governors, with some Democrats, cities in there, but
overwhelmingly having become more read since twenty twenty. Now a
lot of you live in different states. You might argue
(08:34):
with me. I think I'm right in saying that if
I had to pick a trifecta of states that represents
what red state governance can be, Florida, Tennessee, and Texas
would be the trio, and Florida would be the avatar.
If you had to pick one state of Hey, this
is what big red state policies can do rerit large. Okay,
(08:58):
what about the Blue states? I think California would probably
have to be the avatar for what blue state policies
lead to, and Gavin Newsom would be the mirror image, right,
the opposite side of what's going on in red state
Florida with Ron DeSantis, and you could say, hey, if
(09:21):
you had to pick three states, I mean, look, there
are many blue states that I think have been driven insane.
You could add Oregon in Washington, but then that's just
a Pacific Coast universe. So I think you would probably
want to say California, Illinois, and New York would be
the blue state avatars, three big states that Democrats control
(09:42):
basically top to bottom. The problem that Democrats have is
they think Americans still want to look like what is
going on in California, and I think overwhelmingly Americans want
to look like what's going on in Tennessee, Texas and Florida.
I think the representative argument here is not a good one,
(10:05):
and Maxwell Frost is actually making it directly there that Congressman, hey,
look out, America might end up like Florida. I think
a lot of Americans are like, yeah, that sounds pretty good.
And Gavin Newsom is still out there arguing, hey, America
needs to look like California. I think the problem for
(10:25):
Gavin Newsom is most Americans don't agree. Now, Blue state
America may, but the seven swing states, the people that
are out there in the middle open to being persuaded.
They're making that argument directly. The problem is they're making
the argument in the wrong direction. Look Out, America's gonna
(10:45):
look like Florida. I'm like, hey, sign me up. I
think most of you are too. Hey, if we're not careful,
America is gonna look more like Texas. That sounds pretty
awesome to me. Hey, hey, listen, Democrats, if we're not careful,
the whole nation's gonna look like Tennessee. I'm like, I
(11:05):
live here. That sounds amazing. And I don't think there's
anybody in the persuadable universe that's like, Hey, we're gonna
make America more like California. I think most Americans are like, no,
we're not signing up for that. Hey, we're gonna make
America more like Chicago. Yeah, I'd rather stay alive. Hey,
we're gonna make America more like New York City. Hey,
(11:26):
I'd rather not have a moron governor. And I'd actually
prefer not for you to take half of every dollar
that I make. No, I'm good here. Buck has actually
made that decision with his own life. Born and raised
New York City guy, He's like, I can't do this. Anymore.
I'm gonna move to Florida. Make America Florida pretty good tagline.
Make America Tennessee, I like it, Make America Texas, I
(11:46):
like it. Make America California. I'm off the boat. I
think that's the problem Democrats have. They're making an argument
they think sells, and in actuality their argument what was
it that dog ain't hunting? America is out on that argument,
and I think this is going to ultimately be in
(12:08):
the wake of twenty twenty with so many people moving.
We know population numbers. If California, Illinois, and New York
were doing so fabulously well, everybody would be moving there.
This is also, by the way, why I think abortion
politics doesn't work anymore. If people were really troubled about
abortion policy, they wouldn't be flooding all the red states.
(12:29):
Like if you are a twenty five year old, twenty
five year old girl, they're like, Oh, I can't believe
they're gonna put me in handcuffs and like arrest me
if I get pregnant. But oh, I'm gonna move to Nashville.
I want to go out on Broadway. Oh my god,
Florida's gonna put me in handcuffs if I get pregnant.
But South Beach is awesome. I'm moving there like young
(12:51):
girls are moving overwhelmingly to run Red states. Abortion politics
is over. I'm arguing it in the new book. Just
look at what people do, not what they say. It's
good life lesson across the board. Look, I want to
tell you we love what life's like for me here
in Tennessee, for Buck in Florida, for so many of
you in Texas. Red State America is making the right decisions.
(13:12):
But you know a place that's trying to make sure
that they can make the right decisions for everybody in
their country, and they're under peril right now. The IFCJ
is doing work for everybody in Israel right now, probably
as we speak, there is the danger of having to
run immediately to bomb shelters. Nobody's been able to sleep
for the last week very comfortably in Israel because you're
constantly moving in and out of bomb shelters based on
(13:34):
what Iron's doing. I have seen for myself. I was
over in Israel, I did the radio show from there
for the IFCJ, and saw the tremendous work that they
have done bomb shelters food for people in need, being
able to provide for emergency responders, safer vehicles, to be
able to travel with. They do the Lord's work with IFCJ.
It's the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews. And right
(13:56):
now you can make a tremendous difference by going TOCJ
dot org. It is tremendous work that they are doing.
If you have extra money, you can join Buck and
Me and being a donor and doing so much amazing
work for the IFCJ. As Israel is in its ultimate
time of need as they are in war with Iran
(14:17):
continuing to follow in the aftermath of October seventh, they
do such amazing work. You can go to IFCJ dot
org or you can call eight eight eight four eight
eight IFCJ. They can use your help immensely right now
in a time of war and a land praying for
peace eight eight eight four eight eight IFCJ. That's IFCJ
(14:39):
dot org. Sometimes all you can do is laugh, and
they do a lot of it. With the Sunday Hang
join Clay and Buck as they laugh it up in
the Klayan Buck podcast feed on the iHeartRadio app or
wherever you get your podcasts. Welcome back in Clay Travis
buck Sexton show. All right, unless there's crazy news that
(15:01):
breaks the next half hour, let's have some fun. Tomorrow
is going to be officially Tomorrow, the twenty first, right
is the official first day of summer, and fifty years ago,
as summer began, Jaws was released. And Greg, will you
update me on the caller situation. I'm looking right now
(15:23):
at the massive number of talkbacks we have, and I argued,
maybe provocatively, but I think accurately should be on my tombstone.
I think that Jaws is the most influential movie of
all time. Jim in the Twin Cities disagrees. He's got
(15:44):
an argument on the other side. Here is Jim. Appreciate
you listening.
Speaker 3 (15:49):
Hh Hey, Clay, Yeah, I see what you're saying about Jaws.
But I think Rocky, the whole entire series of Rocky
might be one B. Jaws is one. A. Rocky might
be one be because it influenced everyone to work out,
even if you don't feel like working on you hear
(16:10):
those Rocky horns, You're gonna start working out. Very influential.
Speaker 1 (16:15):
It's a good one. I mean, I will say when
you hear that Rocky music in the background. It definitely
can help you do another kick. My college roommate, I
had dinner. I have dinner with two of my college roommates.
We lived together for two years in DC. One of
them lives he's a doctor in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The
other one lives in Philly, works in athletics. And my
(16:38):
college roommate we used to jog all the time thinking
about Rocky. My college roommate was like, hey, we were out,
we had dinner, we had some drinks. He's like, I'm
gonna pick you up. We're going to go for a jog. Now,
mind you, I think running is the most miserable way
to get exercise. Now, talk about running playing a sport.
I'm just talking about, Hey, let's go out and just
go run. I hate it. Everybody talk about how you're
(17:00):
going to feel amazing if you go run and everything else.
And my wife was like, hey, let's train, let's do
a half marathon. It's like a decade ago, more than
a decade ago now. So we start training. She discovers
that she is pregnant, conveniently with our second son. Drops out.
This is the Nashville Big Marathon. Everybody travels for it.
(17:22):
I was like, I'll do the half marathon. So I
went ahead and trained it for myself. Ran though whatever
it is, thirteen point one miles is like one hundred
and ninety four degrees of course on that day, and
everybody's like, Oh, when you cross that finish line, you're
going to feel transformed. You're going to be so proud
of yourself. There's a picture they snap it when you
cross the finish line. I look thoroughly disgusted because I
(17:46):
was like, this is the biggest waste of time ever.
And here's the deal. Oprah is fat and unathletic. She
ran an actual marathon. I don't have any doubt that
if I wanted to run a marathon, I'm less fat
and more athletic than Oprah. If Oprah could do it,
I know I could do it. I don't have that
need to accomplish running. And so anyway, he got me
(18:10):
to come run. I was like, this is miserable. I
tapped out one point twenty five miles in. I was like,
I'm not It's the first time I've run since in
a decade. He was like, oh, we used to run
all the time in college. That was just a look
at pretty girls. I've been married. There's no point in
running anymore.
Speaker 4 (18:25):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (18:26):
Look, I want to tell you IFCJ we used to
have a run through campus feed everybody knows about it,
that you can get hooked up right now with Good Ranchers.
I'm gonna come back and talk more about Good Ranchers
because I got caught up in my story about jogging.
But let me just tell you this. Good Rancher is amazing.
I love Ben, I love Corley. They have built a
phenomenal company and you get forty dollars off right now
(18:48):
if you go to good Ranchers dot com code Clay
forty dollars off. Trust me, go to that website right now,
code Clay for forty dollars off. I'll tell you more
about it and why I hate jogging. We come back,
Welcome back in Clay Travis buck Sexton show. Okay, so
many different, so many different feedback options rolling in. But
(19:10):
I do want to tell you go to Good Ranchers.
I love these guys. I was up in the indy
five hundred with Ben and Corley. They founded a business.
They got four kids, They founded a business where they
just wanted to give organic product meat, salmon, chicken, beef, whatever.
It is, all American grown, all American raised. It is
a phenomenal business they have built. You should be buying
(19:33):
your meat from them. They love this show. They are fantastic.
We feed our family, no organic preservatives. All that junk
is out. They're founding a company designed to feed their kids.
They got four young ones. I'm telling you you'd love them.
Good ranchers dot com. Use my name Clay, you get
forty bucks off. And I was talking about the fact
(19:56):
that you know I hate the jog, and my roommate
he knocked on the door. Good Answers dot Com code Clay,
forty bucks off. Go out for a run. We're running,
you know, through the streets of Georgetown as places to
run could be. That is a decent place in the
Georgetown area of DC. And after about a mile, I
was like, this is why I hated running. I think
(20:17):
it's the worst way to exercise on the planet. And
I know the runners are going to be mad at me.
Speaker 5 (20:21):
Not right.
Speaker 1 (20:22):
Well, you know what's second to biking. I don't even
get me started on biking. Where I live. I can't
even drive on the roads now because like, we don't
have bike lanes, and I just come around the corner
and there's like seven hundred and forty two guys in
a row on bikes, just out for a bike ride.
But jogging like it's it's a miserable way to get
a it's a miserable way to get exercise. And I
(20:44):
don't even know, Like I maybe some of you have
something in your body where you're like, oh, you're gonna
get a runners. I don't get a runners high. I
get runners bored. I also don't have any sense of
accomplishment when I finish a run. Maybe I don't know. Again,
Oprah is fat and on athletic, and she ran a marathon.
Any one of you could run a marathon if you
(21:05):
committed four six hundred and thirty eight hours to marathon training.
It's not a revolutionary thing. You just have to do
the same thing a lot, for many hours in a row.
And I don't. This is probably not going to shock you.
I don't have a lot of self doubt, so I
don't need to do things to prove that I can
(21:27):
do things. I presume that I can do everything, and
so for the most part, I don't need to prove
to myself that I can do it? Does that make sense?
Like I feel like Runners have really low self esteem,
and it's like, oh I I don't know if I
can make that next month. No, you can. It's just
really boring. So anyway, Runners, I'm sure I'm gonna get
(21:48):
flooded in reaction to that. But that is the truth. Okay.
We got so many people weighing in on my argument
that Jaws is the most influential. It's the fiftieth en
of our greg What is the best order to go
to for these talkbacks? Uh, let's see Louis from Galveston.
(22:12):
You know, Galveston. I'm really gonna make some enemies. Now,
Texas should have better beaches than it does. I'm just saying,
if you were designing Texas, the one thing that Texas
doesn't have great beaches. I know because every one of
you Texans you come to Alabama or Florida, to the
(22:35):
Gulf Coast, or as Senator Cruz, you hop on a
plane and you go to Cancun. The one thing in
Senator Cruz a friend the one and he would think
that's funny. I think the one thing that you don't
have is great beaches. But Louis or Lewis is listening
in Galveston and he says jaws kept him out of
(22:56):
the water. Yeah, well in Galveston, of course, because the
beach is not great. But here is JJ.
Speaker 6 (23:00):
Hey clam Buck. This is Lewis from Houston, Texas, and
I just want to say that John scared me so
bad when I was a kid that I couldn't go
into the water ankle deep in Galveston Bay for years
until I realized that it wasn't really a thread. Then
I seen Psycho and it also scared me to death
to even where I had to take baths when I
(23:20):
went to my Grandma's house, and also Freddy from even
being able to sleep in a dark Roomy'd do great.
Love you guys, keep it up.
Speaker 1 (23:29):
I love all these movies, the Nightmare on Elm Street movies.
Everybody has got a movie that they saw when they
shouldn't have seen it. You were nine and you had
a thirteen year old older brother, you were seven and
you're twelve year old sister put on a movie Nightmare
(23:50):
on Elm Street. I don't think they make the same
kind of scary movies like they did The Nightmare on
Elm Street. I know they make a ton of them
and they make a lot of money, but the concept
of you're gonna get killed when you go to sleep
for Nightmare on Elm Street, look, Michael Myers, Jason, they're scary,
but the idea of hey, when you go to sleep,
(24:13):
you're gonna get killed and it's gonna be in real
life is so diabolical. I'm surprised they haven't brought back
those Nightmare on Elm Street movies. They were terrifying to me,
because again, when are you most scared as a kid
in bed and you're like, well, if I just fall asleep,
(24:34):
But no, Freddy's gonna kill you if you fall asleep.
You know. I saw a story recently. I was reading it.
I was like, I don't know how this kid's ever
gonna sleep for the rest of his life. Did you
guys see the story? Kid said there's somebody underneath my bed.
I mean, I getting chills even talking about this. Kids
said there's somebody underneath my bed. Babysitter was like, oh, okay,
(24:56):
you're gonna be fine. I'll look underneath and I'll be
damned if there wasn't a crazy person underneath that kid's bed, Well,
when do you look up where this happened. I don't
know how that kid's ever gonna sleep for the rest
of his life. Can you imagine, Hey, there's somebody under
my bed. You're the babysitter, You're like, oh, it's gonna
(25:18):
be fine, and you look underneath and somebody's I think
I would die. I'm a grown man. I got three kids.
I think if one of my kids had been like, Daddy,
there's somebody underneath my bed, and I've been like, no,
you're gonna be fine, and then you're like, you're tired,
you're trying to get them to sleep, Like you roll
over and you look underneath and there's somebody underneath the bed.
I think I would have had a I don't think
(25:39):
I could have saved my kids. I think I would
have just had a heart attack right there. I'd have
been so scared, Daddy, there's somebody underneath my bed. There's
somebody actually there. That doesn't even seem like it should
be fair, that doesn't even seem like it should be allowed.
You should never be able to get underneath a kid's
bed and actually be there, even if you're a bad
even if you're a killer, Like, at least be a
(26:01):
man and come at me without being underneath the bed first.
But this is unfair Lynn and Harrisburg. What you got
for me? Socially?
Speaker 7 (26:10):
The most influential film is not influential.
Speaker 5 (26:14):
And I'm twenty nine.
Speaker 7 (26:15):
I've never seen Jaws.
Speaker 2 (26:17):
I would say Raider is the Lost Art or a
new Hope.
Speaker 7 (26:21):
Star Wars is a lot more influential, both of which
I've watched.
Speaker 5 (26:25):
Love you, guys, so I don't otherwise see you.
Speaker 1 (26:28):
I don't know how Lynn has managed to be twenty
nine years old and never have seen Jaws. It's going
to be on NBC tonight. They should have paid me
to promote that. It's free. NBC is a show that
you can watch with an antenna. It is not streaming.
It is not I feel like I have to explain
this now because I was talking to that guy's daughter
and she was like, now, how does the radio work?
(26:49):
So when you say radio, what I mean the thing
that's in your car on the dash, Like I talk
out of that when you push the button and it
comes on. That's how a lot of people hear me.
But from my phone, how would I hear you on
my phone. That was my conversation a couple days ago,
and I hope she's managed to figure out how the
radio works. But look, I like Star Wars. I love
(27:12):
Raiders of the Lost Arc. The best Raiders of the
Lost Arc movie is The Last Crusade with Sean Connery
in Indiana Jones. Phenomenal film, but I don't think it's
anywhere near as influential.
Speaker 5 (27:25):
Like I don't.
Speaker 1 (27:26):
I went to Israel. I wasn't expecting to find the
Arc of the Covenant, right, Like I wasn't like, well,
this isn't really old church. Let me go in there.
Maybe the Ark of the Covenant's going to be there.
But if I had gone into the ocean in Israel,
I would have thought jaws might kill me. It's very different,
(27:47):
right if I went to tour the Pyramids, I wouldn't
think to myself, maybe this is the where the Arc
is stored. But I would think if I got to
an Egyptian beach, I would be worried about the crocodiles
in the Nile, but I would also be worried about
sharks there. So I think I think if Wynn from
(28:07):
Harrisburg watched, he would actually agree with me. And realize
that he was wrong and millions of people just hurt
his wrongness. Art from Cleveland. What you got for me?
This is art from Cleveland. I think the most influential
movie maybe China Syndrome. It scared the world away from
nuclear power. I don't think that's wrong. Didn't Three Mile
Island have some sort of nuclear scare back in the day.
(28:29):
We should be using nuclear power way more than we are.
It's actually way safer, and we haven't because people just
bought into catastrophe. This is my thing with self driving cars, Andy,
I think Elon Musk gets this. I took the way
mow out in San Francisco. I told you guys, I
felt like I was in the future. The problem with
(28:52):
self driving cars is whenever a self driving car makes
an error, everybody is going to talk about it. It
is going to be everywhere. That video of the self
driving car doing something wrong. Your wife hitting forty eight
vehicles trying to go to the grocery store not gonna
go viral. My wife, big SUV. If you see her
(29:18):
on the street, I would suggest just pull over like
there's a funeral coming by. I'm not sure she's gonna
stay on her side of the road. She's not very good.
Car's too big for a lot of women. Big cars
can't handle him. Rob in Palm Beach, What you got.
Speaker 5 (29:31):
I'm from South Florida. My dad was a marine taxidermist
for a company called Fluger, which is out of business,
but he was responsible for making the original Jaws head.
It was pretty cool to see as a kid, very terrifying.
Speaker 1 (29:48):
I mean, this is maybe the greatest talkback ever. Rob's
just like, yeah, you know the movie Jaws, Super powerful,
super impactful. My dad made the head just picks up
his phone drops in a that's amazing. See if we
can get Rob from Palm Beach on I think that
would be a fun story. Dave and Cincinnati, what you
got for us?
Speaker 7 (30:05):
Hey, Clay, this is David Cincinnati. I used to be
a history teacher and I would show Quint's Soliloquy on
the USS Indianapolis, and, knowing most of the kids had
never seen Jaws, I'd started at the scene where the
shark shows up for the first time, and there is
nothing better than hearing thirty desks just all squeak flying
(30:28):
backwards at the sign of the shark. And I knew
they were hooked for my lesson of the day.
Speaker 1 (30:35):
That's really great. All right, let me hit one more
here and then we'll go to break and then we
will play a couple of cuts from Jaws and take
a couple more of your calls. But this is a
Friday edition, fifty year anniversary. You guys are fantastic. I
love these talkback functions. Super fast. Give me thirty seconds,
give me your best thirty seconds. Got a joke there
about marriage MJ from Carlsbad. What you got for me?
(30:57):
I'm sixty seven years old in a lifelong st I
never saw Jaws. Never. For that reason. I wanted to
remain in the water my whole life, and I've chase
out of water by a shark. I'm quiet, so yeah,
I know a little bit about sharks, so yeah, never
saw it. Never will I don't blame him for never
(31:17):
seeing I haven't shown it to my kids. They may
have seen Jaws, but because we go to the beach
quite regularly and they are afraid of sharks because it's
kind of embedded in the culture. But I was like,
I talked about this with my wife, So we can
never show them Jaws, especially now when they're young, they
will never get in the water. I was afraid to
(31:37):
swim in a swimming pool at night after I saw Jaws.
A swimming pool at night, couldn't see the bottom. I
was like, as not for me, And some of y'all
are like, I didn't get in the lake. You got
kids right now, they're gonna see Jaws tonight on NBC.
You're gonna be like, you're done for don't even try
to get them in the water. That is not happening
after they see that movie. I think it's still gonna
(31:59):
be super impactful, even with the crazy fake Jaws head
that our boy just called in and said that his
dad made. That's pretty amazing. All right, We're gonna close
up the week next when look, stock market is moving
all the time. I just said, I've got some money
coming in, and I said, you know what, I don't
know that I want to buy s and P five
hundred index funds right now as it's near an all
(32:20):
time high. I want to diversify a little bit more. Literally,
had that call with one of my financial advisors this morning.
Because there's constant movement everything else, Maybe you want to
diversify and check out gold. Gold has for generations, been
a place for hundreds of years people have gone to
rely on when they didn't feel like the currencies were
(32:41):
that reliable, when they felt like the stock markets may
be wobbly. All throughout history, even back when Indiana Jones
and his dad Sean Connery were trying to discover the
last Crusade, they have been hooked up. Get hooked up

Welcome back in Clay Travis bock Sexton Show. I appreciate
all of you hanging out with us as we are
rolling through the program. By the way, you're sitting around
right now and you're like, you know what, I didn't
get enough of this week, Clay. I know you talked
(33:45):
to us for fifteen hours, but I just I cannot
get enough of you. Well, you're in luck. I will
be on Martha McCollums show on Fox News. Literally as
soon as I finish this program, I'm going to step
over to my television studio, flip on the lights, and
I will be sitting there, and inevitably some of you
(34:06):
will decide that I am not dressed appropriately and immediately
react to what I am wearing. But I am telling
you that I look fabulous and I will soon be
on your television screens. I think they got me on
with James Carvill, so there could be some fireworks there.
But I'll be on Fox News in about what ten
minutes at the top of the next hour if you
(34:27):
are interested. And by the way, I think Sean Hannity's out,
but I'm on Sean Hannity's show Fox News Television show
on a little bit later as well. No, many of
you will be listening, and do listen to Sean Hannity
every single day. All Right, how much stuff do we
have out there that I need to hit? How many
of these are left? Do we have? Callers? Mike and
(34:48):
North Carolina? Are you still there? What you got for us?
Speaker 3 (34:53):
Hello?
Speaker 5 (34:54):
Yeah, I'll put it this way.
Speaker 2 (34:55):
I'm fifty eight years old.
Speaker 1 (34:56):
I saw Joe's on the big screen when I was
eight or nine.
Speaker 4 (35:00):
To this day, I will not.
Speaker 1 (35:02):
Swim in the ocean where I can't.
Speaker 5 (35:03):
Touch the sands.
Speaker 7 (35:05):
Also, like you, I have to remind myself.
Speaker 1 (35:07):
When I'm swimming in lace that there are no sharks
in freshwater. And there are times when I swim at
night in pools I gets flashbacks. It charged me for life.
Thank you. It's the most impactful movie that has ever
been made in the history of film. Jaws fiftieth anniversary day,
Frank in Glendora, California. Which you got for me?
Speaker 4 (35:25):
Yeah? Yeah, Clay, listen, I disagree with you. When Saving
Private Ryan came out, I don't know if you remember,
but when Saving Private Ryan came out, entire my father
generation was traumatized by the first fifteen minutes of that
(35:51):
great Steven Spielberg film. And that's reality, not chiction. Thanks
so my opinion that Trump's jobs.
Speaker 1 (36:03):
Well, look, Saving Private Ryan kind of a good movie, too, right,
But Schindler's List also a really good movie by Spielberg,
also historic. But I knew already that the guys who
walked on the beaches of Normandy and were getting shot
(36:24):
at by Nazis that was probably pretty scary. So it
was an amazing evocation of that, as was Schindler's List
an amazingly powerful avocation of exactly how awful the Holocaust was.
But I already knew both of those things. I really
didn't think about sharks eating me until I watched Jaws,
(36:46):
which is why I believe it was the most impactful.
Not a better film, Schindler's List and Saving Private Ryan
far better films. More impactful film Jaws, And if you
don't believe me, you're gonna be thinking about it when
you hop in the pool.
Welcome in Hour number three, final hour of the week,
play Travis Buck Sexton show Buck We'll be back on
Monday from Europe. He has spent the week on the
French Riviera meeting with advertisers and can looking forward to
be back together again on Monday. A lot of different
(00:21):
stories out there. Let me update you on the latest
reports that talks in Europe with Iran have failed. Iran
is really kind of playing this in an interesting way.
At any point, all of their leadership could be wiped
out only by the grace of God and basically Israeli
(00:44):
fighter plans. Are they still alive at all? Yet they
appear to be refusing to negotiate. I don't know what
the historical analogy for this would be, but Iran failing
to reach any sort of agreement in Europe. And here's
the bigger picture issue that I've been talking about quite
some time. You can never trust this Iranian leadership. They
(01:06):
want nuclear weapons. It makes imminent logical sense for them
to have nuclear weapons because it would preserve their political
power forever, potentially, much like has happened with North Korea.
So anything they tell you is likely to be a lie,
and you cannot negotiate with them in good faith at all.
(01:27):
So that is the latest on Iran and Israel. As
I mentioned yesterday, Trump said he will decide in the
next two weeks whether or not to go in with
the big bunker buster bomb, among other things. And I
do think probably the worst job in the world to
have right now is working in that four dough nuclear
(01:48):
mountain site. Your job may not be great. You might
be listening to me right now, hunched over in your cubicle,
pretending to be working on your TPS reports, But odds
are you're not also thinking, Hey, at any moment, a
bomb might wipe out my entire business. I get it.
(02:10):
It's Friday afternoon in many parts of the country. You're
probably ready for the weekend to be here. You may
hate your job, but I'm here to tell you the
guys working in the Iranian nuclear mountain factory they got
a job than you. They're just showing up. At any
moment they might get blown up. That seems like not
(02:31):
an ideal job to have. Maybe the worst in the
world right now. The Ninth Circuit this was I haven't
spent much time on this because there's so many district
court judges six hundred some odd of them, and they're
about half of them hate Trump, and they're constantly coming
out with anti Trump rulings. The latest that happened was
a district federal district court judge in California said Trump
(02:55):
couldn't call out the National Guard. Evidently that judge has
no idea what actually the supremacy clause means, which is
the National Guard is controlled by the National Leader aka Trump.
And now the Ninth Circuit, including I believe it's an
Obama appointee as well, has ruled three to zero that
Trump controls the National Guard and is able to deploy
(03:18):
them in Los Angeles. This is not a very complicated
legal issue. Some legal issues are very complicated. Evidently, Gavin
Newsom is going to continue to appeal that there is
also so Trump is going to win that one. I
will tell you anyone with a functional brain who is
basic knowledge of the law will tell you so. Gavin
(03:38):
Newsom exulting because one random district court judge said that
he controlled the California National Guard, not Trump, was laughably absurd,
and I think it's been exposed to be such. A
judge has also ordered again these district court judges have
emerged as the peak of the Trump two point zero opposition,
(04:02):
the peak of the spear, as it were. And a
federal judge in New Jersey has ordered that my Mood Khalil,
three months after the former Columbia student was detained, should
be released. So anyway that will be appealed. Federal district
court judges, about half of them hate Trump and they
(04:24):
will try to enter in place nationwide injunctions or rulings
that will apply nationwide that are of a substantial nature.
So that is where we are with the current breaking
news stories of the day. Now, I wanted to hit
(04:46):
you with a couple of other things that are out there.
We've been talking about Obama being usurped by Trump as
by far the most consequential figure that is out there.
I also told you it. This is the fiftieth anniversary
of the release of the movie Jaws. It initially came
out in nineteen seventy five. We've been having some fun
(05:07):
with this. Many of you guys want to react to
the impact of Jaws in your life. I'm arguing it's
the most influential movie of all time, not because it
is the best movie of all time, but just because
it impacts people's thoughts and decisions in life more than
any movie that has been released I think of all time.
So we'll have some fun with that here in the
(05:29):
third hour, as is the fiftieth anniversary. You guys can
tee off on me, or you can agree a lot
of different people. But I didn't want to play this
cut for you because I think it's emblematic of the
failure of Democrats to really understand the world in which
we are living right now. Maxwell Frost, who is a
(05:50):
congressman from Florida right the Orlando area, I believe team
look that up and make sure that I'm right, says Hey,
he's got a big fear the United States is at
risk of turning into Florida. This is cut thirty three.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
Listen, you know this, This fight against far right neo fascism,
for me at least was mainly taking stage in my
home in Florida, fighting against Ronda Santis and the extremism there.
And something I always told people is that Project twenty
twenty five is actually Florida twenty twenty two, Florida twenty
twenty and the stuff that's going on around the country
(06:27):
right now we've actually been dealing with in the South
for a long time, especially in my state of Florida.
So the difference is it's like the struggle in my
state has kind of been just spread throughout the nation,
and honestly, that day after election Day had a hard
time getting up.
Speaker 1 (06:42):
Okay, So I think this is this is really very interesting,
honestly because ultimately the debate that I believe we're going
to have is going to move beyond Trump. Now, it
doesn't mean that again by the midterms twenty twenty seven
to twenty twenty eight election cycle is going to be underway.
And I don't think this is a bad way of
(07:04):
distilling what that argument is going to be. And I
think the problem Democrats have is they're on the wrong
side of a really bad argument. If you had to say, hey,
which two states right now are the avatar of Republican
and Democrat belief systems writ large? Which individual state represents
(07:30):
Red state America, Which individual state represents Blue state America.
I think that Florida under Governor Ron De Santis would
be the avatar for Red state America. Now, you could
argue Texas, you could argue Tennessee. I would argue that
(07:51):
those three are probably the trio, the triangle of Hey,
this is what red state America represents. Would actually argue
that Florida probably is the best. Now, why would I
say that? No state income tax in Florida, no state
income tax in Tennessee, no state income tax in Texas.
(08:12):
So incredibly low tax states, very dynamic economies, rapidly growing populations,
all Republican governors, with some Democrats, cities in there, but
overwhelmingly having become more read since twenty twenty. Now a
lot of you live in different states. You might argue
(08:34):
with me. I think I'm right in saying that if
I had to pick a trifecta of states that represents
what red state governance can be, Florida, Tennessee, and Texas
would be the trio, and Florida would be the avatar.
If you had to pick one state of Hey, this
is what big red state policies can do rerit large. Okay,
(08:58):
what about the Blue states? I think California would probably
have to be the avatar for what blue state policies
lead to, and Gavin Newsom would be the mirror image, right,
the opposite side of what's going on in red state
Florida with Ron DeSantis, and you could say, hey, if
(09:21):
you had to pick three states, I mean, look, there
are many blue states that I think have been driven insane.
You could add Oregon in Washington, but then that's just
a Pacific Coast universe. So I think you would probably
want to say California, Illinois, and New York would be
the blue state avatars, three big states that Democrats control
(09:42):
basically top to bottom. The problem that Democrats have is
they think Americans still want to look like what is
going on in California, and I think overwhelmingly Americans want
to look like what's going on in Tennessee, Texas and Florida.
I think the representative argument here is not a good one,
(10:05):
and Maxwell Frost is actually making it directly there that Congressman, hey,
look out, America might end up like Florida. I think
a lot of Americans are like, yeah, that sounds pretty good.
And Gavin Newsom is still out there arguing, hey, America
needs to look like California. I think the problem for
(10:25):
Gavin Newsom is most Americans don't agree. Now, Blue state
America may, but the seven swing states, the people that
are out there in the middle open to being persuaded.
They're making that argument directly. The problem is they're making
the argument in the wrong direction. Look Out, America's gonna
(10:45):
look like Florida. I'm like, hey, sign me up. I
think most of you are too. Hey, if we're not careful,
America is gonna look more like Texas. That sounds pretty
awesome to me. Hey, hey, listen, Democrats, if we're not careful,
the whole nation's gonna look like Tennessee. I'm like, I
(11:05):
live here. That sounds amazing. And I don't think there's
anybody in the persuadable universe that's like, Hey, we're gonna
make America more like California. I think most Americans are like, no,
we're not signing up for that. Hey, we're gonna make
America more like Chicago. Yeah, I'd rather stay alive. Hey,
we're gonna make America more like New York City. Hey,
(11:26):
I'd rather not have a moron governor. And I'd actually
prefer not for you to take half of every dollar
that I make. No, I'm good here. Buck has actually
made that decision with his own life. Born and raised
New York City guy, He's like, I can't do this. Anymore.
I'm gonna move to Florida. Make America Florida pretty good tagline.
Make America Tennessee, I like it, Make America Texas, I
(11:46):
like it. Make America California. I'm off the boat. I
think that's the problem Democrats have. They're making an argument
they think sells, and in actuality their argument what was
it that dog ain't hunting? America is out on that argument,
and I think this is going to ultimately be in
(12:08):
the wake of twenty twenty with so many people moving.
We know population numbers. If California, Illinois, and New York
were doing so fabulously well, everybody would be moving there.
This is also, by the way, why I think abortion
politics doesn't work anymore. If people were really troubled about
abortion policy, they wouldn't be flooding all the red states.
(12:29):
Like if you are a twenty five year old, twenty
five year old girl, they're like, Oh, I can't believe
they're gonna put me in handcuffs and like arrest me
if I get pregnant. But oh, I'm gonna move to Nashville.
I want to go out on Broadway. Oh my god,
Florida's gonna put me in handcuffs if I get pregnant.
But South Beach is awesome. I'm moving there like young
(12:51):
girls are moving overwhelmingly to run Red states. Abortion politics
is over. I'm arguing it in the new book. Just
look at what people do, not what they say. It's
good life lesson across the board. Look, I want to
tell you we love what life's like for me here
in Tennessee, for Buck in Florida, for so many of
you in Texas. Red State America is making the right decisions.
(13:12):
But you know a place that's trying to make sure
that they can make the right decisions for everybody in
their country, and they're under peril right now. The IFCJ
is doing work for everybody in Israel right now, probably
as we speak, there is the danger of having to
run immediately to bomb shelters. Nobody's been able to sleep
for the last week very comfortably in Israel because you're
constantly moving in and out of bomb shelters based on
(13:34):
what Iron's doing. I have seen for myself. I was
over in Israel, I did the radio show from there
for the IFCJ, and saw the tremendous work that they
have done bomb shelters food for people in need, being
able to provide for emergency responders, safer vehicles, to be
able to travel with. They do the Lord's work with IFCJ.
It's the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews. And right
(13:56):
now you can make a tremendous difference by going TOCJ
dot org. It is tremendous work that they are doing.
If you have extra money, you can join Buck and
Me and being a donor and doing so much amazing
work for the IFCJ. As Israel is in its ultimate
time of need as they are in war with Iran
(14:17):
continuing to follow in the aftermath of October seventh, they
do such amazing work. You can go to IFCJ dot
org or you can call eight eight eight four eight
eight IFCJ. They can use your help immensely right now
in a time of war and a land praying for
peace eight eight eight four eight eight IFCJ. That's IFCJ
(14:39):
dot org. Sometimes all you can do is laugh, and
they do a lot of it. With the Sunday Hang
join Clay and Buck as they laugh it up in
the Klayan Buck podcast feed on the iHeartRadio app or
wherever you get your podcasts. Welcome back in Clay Travis
buck Sexton show. All right, unless there's crazy news that
(15:01):
breaks the next half hour, let's have some fun. Tomorrow
is going to be officially Tomorrow, the twenty first, right
is the official first day of summer, and fifty years ago,
as summer began, Jaws was released. And Greg, will you
update me on the caller situation. I'm looking right now
(15:23):
at the massive number of talkbacks we have, and I argued,
maybe provocatively, but I think accurately should be on my tombstone.
I think that Jaws is the most influential movie of
all time. Jim in the Twin Cities disagrees. He's got
(15:44):
an argument on the other side. Here is Jim. Appreciate
you listening.
Speaker 3 (15:49):
Hh Hey, Clay, Yeah, I see what you're saying about Jaws.
But I think Rocky, the whole entire series of Rocky
might be one B. Jaws is one. A. Rocky might
be one be because it influenced everyone to work out,
even if you don't feel like working on you hear
(16:10):
those Rocky horns, You're gonna start working out. Very influential.
Speaker 1 (16:15):
It's a good one. I mean, I will say when
you hear that Rocky music in the background. It definitely
can help you do another kick. My college roommate, I
had dinner. I have dinner with two of my college roommates.
We lived together for two years in DC. One of
them lives he's a doctor in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The
other one lives in Philly, works in athletics. And my
(16:38):
college roommate we used to jog all the time thinking
about Rocky. My college roommate was like, hey, we were out,
we had dinner, we had some drinks. He's like, I'm
gonna pick you up. We're going to go for a jog. Now,
mind you, I think running is the most miserable way
to get exercise. Now, talk about running playing a sport.
I'm just talking about, Hey, let's go out and just
go run. I hate it. Everybody talk about how you're
(17:00):
going to feel amazing if you go run and everything else.
And my wife was like, hey, let's train, let's do
a half marathon. It's like a decade ago, more than
a decade ago now. So we start training. She discovers
that she is pregnant, conveniently with our second son. Drops out.
This is the Nashville Big Marathon. Everybody travels for it.
(17:22):
I was like, I'll do the half marathon. So I
went ahead and trained it for myself. Ran though whatever
it is, thirteen point one miles is like one hundred
and ninety four degrees of course on that day, and
everybody's like, Oh, when you cross that finish line, you're
going to feel transformed. You're going to be so proud
of yourself. There's a picture they snap it when you
cross the finish line. I look thoroughly disgusted because I
(17:46):
was like, this is the biggest waste of time ever.
And here's the deal. Oprah is fat and unathletic. She
ran an actual marathon. I don't have any doubt that
if I wanted to run a marathon, I'm less fat
and more athletic than Oprah. If Oprah could do it,
I know I could do it. I don't have that
need to accomplish running. And so anyway, he got me
(18:10):
to come run. I was like, this is miserable. I
tapped out one point twenty five miles in. I was like,
I'm not It's the first time I've run since in
a decade. He was like, oh, we used to run
all the time in college. That was just a look
at pretty girls. I've been married. There's no point in
running anymore.
Speaker 4 (18:25):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (18:26):
Look, I want to tell you IFCJ we used to
have a run through campus feed everybody knows about it,
that you can get hooked up right now with Good Ranchers.
I'm gonna come back and talk more about Good Ranchers
because I got caught up in my story about jogging.
But let me just tell you this. Good Rancher is amazing.
I love Ben, I love Corley. They have built a
phenomenal company and you get forty dollars off right now
(18:48):
if you go to good Ranchers dot com code Clay
forty dollars off. Trust me, go to that website right now,
code Clay for forty dollars off. I'll tell you more
about it and why I hate jogging. We come back,
Welcome back in Clay Travis buck Sexton show. Okay, so
many different, so many different feedback options rolling in. But
(19:10):
I do want to tell you go to Good Ranchers.
I love these guys. I was up in the indy
five hundred with Ben and Corley. They founded a business.
They got four kids, They founded a business where they
just wanted to give organic product meat, salmon, chicken, beef, whatever.
It is, all American grown, all American raised. It is
a phenomenal business they have built. You should be buying
(19:33):
your meat from them. They love this show. They are fantastic.
We feed our family, no organic preservatives. All that junk
is out. They're founding a company designed to feed their kids.
They got four young ones. I'm telling you you'd love them.
Good ranchers dot com. Use my name Clay, you get
forty bucks off. And I was talking about the fact
(19:56):
that you know I hate the jog, and my roommate
he knocked on the door. Good Answers dot Com code Clay,
forty bucks off. Go out for a run. We're running,
you know, through the streets of Georgetown as places to
run could be. That is a decent place in the
Georgetown area of DC. And after about a mile, I
was like, this is why I hated running. I think
(20:17):
it's the worst way to exercise on the planet. And
I know the runners are going to be mad at me.
Speaker 5 (20:21):
Not right.
Speaker 1 (20:22):
Well, you know what's second to biking. I don't even
get me started on biking. Where I live. I can't
even drive on the roads now because like, we don't
have bike lanes, and I just come around the corner
and there's like seven hundred and forty two guys in
a row on bikes, just out for a bike ride.
But jogging like it's it's a miserable way to get
a it's a miserable way to get exercise. And I
(20:44):
don't even know, Like I maybe some of you have
something in your body where you're like, oh, you're gonna
get a runners. I don't get a runners high. I
get runners bored. I also don't have any sense of
accomplishment when I finish a run. Maybe I don't know. Again,
Oprah is fat and on athletic, and she ran a marathon.
Any one of you could run a marathon if you
(21:05):
committed four six hundred and thirty eight hours to marathon training.
It's not a revolutionary thing. You just have to do
the same thing a lot, for many hours in a row.
And I don't. This is probably not going to shock you.
I don't have a lot of self doubt, so I
don't need to do things to prove that I can
(21:27):
do things. I presume that I can do everything, and
so for the most part, I don't need to prove
to myself that I can do it? Does that make sense?
Like I feel like Runners have really low self esteem,
and it's like, oh I I don't know if I
can make that next month. No, you can. It's just
really boring. So anyway, Runners, I'm sure I'm gonna get
(21:48):
flooded in reaction to that. But that is the truth. Okay.
We got so many people weighing in on my argument
that Jaws is the most influential. It's the fiftieth en
of our greg What is the best order to go
to for these talkbacks? Uh, let's see Louis from Galveston.
(22:12):
You know, Galveston. I'm really gonna make some enemies. Now,
Texas should have better beaches than it does. I'm just saying,
if you were designing Texas, the one thing that Texas
doesn't have great beaches. I know because every one of
you Texans you come to Alabama or Florida, to the
(22:35):
Gulf Coast, or as Senator Cruz, you hop on a
plane and you go to Cancun. The one thing in
Senator Cruz a friend the one and he would think
that's funny. I think the one thing that you don't
have is great beaches. But Louis or Lewis is listening
in Galveston and he says jaws kept him out of
(22:56):
the water. Yeah, well in Galveston, of course, because the
beach is not great. But here is JJ.
Speaker 6 (23:00):
Hey clam Buck. This is Lewis from Houston, Texas, and
I just want to say that John scared me so
bad when I was a kid that I couldn't go
into the water ankle deep in Galveston Bay for years
until I realized that it wasn't really a thread. Then
I seen Psycho and it also scared me to death
to even where I had to take baths when I
(23:20):
went to my Grandma's house, and also Freddy from even
being able to sleep in a dark Roomy'd do great.
Love you guys, keep it up.
Speaker 1 (23:29):
I love all these movies, the Nightmare on Elm Street movies.
Everybody has got a movie that they saw when they
shouldn't have seen it. You were nine and you had
a thirteen year old older brother, you were seven and
you're twelve year old sister put on a movie Nightmare
(23:50):
on Elm Street. I don't think they make the same
kind of scary movies like they did The Nightmare on
Elm Street. I know they make a ton of them
and they make a lot of money, but the concept
of you're gonna get killed when you go to sleep
for Nightmare on Elm Street, look, Michael Myers, Jason, they're scary,
but the idea of hey, when you go to sleep,
(24:13):
you're gonna get killed and it's gonna be in real
life is so diabolical. I'm surprised they haven't brought back
those Nightmare on Elm Street movies. They were terrifying to me,
because again, when are you most scared as a kid
in bed and you're like, well, if I just fall asleep,
(24:34):
But no, Freddy's gonna kill you if you fall asleep.
You know. I saw a story recently. I was reading it.
I was like, I don't know how this kid's ever
gonna sleep for the rest of his life. Did you
guys see the story? Kid said there's somebody underneath my bed.
I mean, I getting chills even talking about this. Kids
said there's somebody underneath my bed. Babysitter was like, oh, okay,
(24:56):
you're gonna be fine. I'll look underneath and I'll be
damned if there wasn't a crazy person underneath that kid's bed, Well,
when do you look up where this happened. I don't
know how that kid's ever gonna sleep for the rest
of his life. Can you imagine, Hey, there's somebody under
my bed. You're the babysitter, You're like, oh, it's gonna
(25:18):
be fine, and you look underneath and somebody's I think
I would die. I'm a grown man. I got three kids.
I think if one of my kids had been like, Daddy,
there's somebody underneath my bed, and I've been like, no,
you're gonna be fine, and then you're like, you're tired,
you're trying to get them to sleep, Like you roll
over and you look underneath and there's somebody underneath the bed.
I think I would have had a I don't think
(25:39):
I could have saved my kids. I think I would
have just had a heart attack right there. I'd have
been so scared, Daddy, there's somebody underneath my bed. There's
somebody actually there. That doesn't even seem like it should
be fair, that doesn't even seem like it should be allowed.
You should never be able to get underneath a kid's
bed and actually be there, even if you're a bad
even if you're a killer, Like, at least be a
(26:01):
man and come at me without being underneath the bed first.
But this is unfair Lynn and Harrisburg. What you got
for me? Socially?
Speaker 7 (26:10):
The most influential film is not influential.
Speaker 5 (26:14):
And I'm twenty nine.
Speaker 7 (26:15):
I've never seen Jaws.
Speaker 2 (26:17):
I would say Raider is the Lost Art or a
new Hope.
Speaker 7 (26:21):
Star Wars is a lot more influential, both of which
I've watched.
Speaker 5 (26:25):
Love you, guys, so I don't otherwise see you.
Speaker 1 (26:28):
I don't know how Lynn has managed to be twenty
nine years old and never have seen Jaws. It's going
to be on NBC tonight. They should have paid me
to promote that. It's free. NBC is a show that
you can watch with an antenna. It is not streaming.
It is not I feel like I have to explain
this now because I was talking to that guy's daughter
and she was like, now, how does the radio work?
(26:49):
So when you say radio, what I mean the thing
that's in your car on the dash, Like I talk
out of that when you push the button and it
comes on. That's how a lot of people hear me.
But from my phone, how would I hear you on
my phone. That was my conversation a couple days ago,
and I hope she's managed to figure out how the
radio works. But look, I like Star Wars. I love
(27:12):
Raiders of the Lost Arc. The best Raiders of the
Lost Arc movie is The Last Crusade with Sean Connery
in Indiana Jones. Phenomenal film, but I don't think it's
anywhere near as influential.
Speaker 5 (27:25):
Like I don't.
Speaker 1 (27:26):
I went to Israel. I wasn't expecting to find the
Arc of the Covenant, right, Like I wasn't like, well,
this isn't really old church. Let me go in there.
Maybe the Ark of the Covenant's going to be there.
But if I had gone into the ocean in Israel,
I would have thought jaws might kill me. It's very different,
(27:47):
right if I went to tour the Pyramids, I wouldn't
think to myself, maybe this is the where the Arc
is stored. But I would think if I got to
an Egyptian beach, I would be worried about the crocodiles
in the Nile, but I would also be worried about
sharks there. So I think I think if Wynn from
(28:07):
Harrisburg watched, he would actually agree with me. And realize
that he was wrong and millions of people just hurt
his wrongness. Art from Cleveland. What you got for me?
This is art from Cleveland. I think the most influential
movie maybe China Syndrome. It scared the world away from
nuclear power. I don't think that's wrong. Didn't Three Mile
Island have some sort of nuclear scare back in the day.
(28:29):
We should be using nuclear power way more than we are.
It's actually way safer, and we haven't because people just
bought into catastrophe. This is my thing with self driving cars, Andy,
I think Elon Musk gets this. I took the way
mow out in San Francisco. I told you guys, I
felt like I was in the future. The problem with
(28:52):
self driving cars is whenever a self driving car makes
an error, everybody is going to talk about it. It
is going to be everywhere. That video of the self
driving car doing something wrong. Your wife hitting forty eight
vehicles trying to go to the grocery store not gonna
go viral. My wife, big SUV. If you see her
(29:18):
on the street, I would suggest just pull over like
there's a funeral coming by. I'm not sure she's gonna
stay on her side of the road. She's not very good.
Car's too big for a lot of women. Big cars
can't handle him. Rob in Palm Beach, What you got.
Speaker 5 (29:31):
I'm from South Florida. My dad was a marine taxidermist
for a company called Fluger, which is out of business,
but he was responsible for making the original Jaws head.
It was pretty cool to see as a kid, very terrifying.
Speaker 1 (29:48):
I mean, this is maybe the greatest talkback ever. Rob's
just like, yeah, you know the movie Jaws, Super powerful,
super impactful. My dad made the head just picks up
his phone drops in a that's amazing. See if we
can get Rob from Palm Beach on I think that
would be a fun story. Dave and Cincinnati, what you
got for us?
Speaker 7 (30:05):
Hey, Clay, this is David Cincinnati. I used to be
a history teacher and I would show Quint's Soliloquy on
the USS Indianapolis, and, knowing most of the kids had
never seen Jaws, I'd started at the scene where the
shark shows up for the first time, and there is
nothing better than hearing thirty desks just all squeak flying
(30:28):
backwards at the sign of the shark. And I knew
they were hooked for my lesson of the day.
Speaker 1 (30:35):
That's really great. All right, let me hit one more
here and then we'll go to break and then we
will play a couple of cuts from Jaws and take
a couple more of your calls. But this is a
Friday edition, fifty year anniversary. You guys are fantastic. I
love these talkback functions. Super fast. Give me thirty seconds,
give me your best thirty seconds. Got a joke there
about marriage MJ from Carlsbad. What you got for me?
(30:57):
I'm sixty seven years old in a lifelong st I
never saw Jaws. Never. For that reason. I wanted to
remain in the water my whole life, and I've chase
out of water by a shark. I'm quiet, so yeah,
I know a little bit about sharks, so yeah, never
saw it. Never will I don't blame him for never
(31:17):
seeing I haven't shown it to my kids. They may
have seen Jaws, but because we go to the beach
quite regularly and they are afraid of sharks because it's
kind of embedded in the culture. But I was like,
I talked about this with my wife, So we can
never show them Jaws, especially now when they're young, they
will never get in the water. I was afraid to
(31:37):
swim in a swimming pool at night after I saw Jaws.
A swimming pool at night, couldn't see the bottom. I
was like, as not for me, And some of y'all
are like, I didn't get in the lake. You got
kids right now, they're gonna see Jaws tonight on NBC.
You're gonna be like, you're done for don't even try
to get them in the water. That is not happening
after they see that movie. I think it's still gonna
(31:59):
be super impactful, even with the crazy fake Jaws head
that our boy just called in and said that his
dad made. That's pretty amazing. All right, We're gonna close
up the week next when look, stock market is moving
all the time. I just said, I've got some money
coming in, and I said, you know what, I don't
know that I want to buy s and P five
hundred index funds right now as it's near an all
(32:20):

had that call with one of my financial advisors this morning.

diversify and check out gold. Gold has for generations, been

be wobbly. All throughout history, even back when Indiana Jones
and his dad Sean Connery were trying to discover the
last Crusade, they have been hooked up. Get hooked up

Welcome back in Clay Travis bock Sexton Show. I appreciate
all of you hanging out with us as we are
rolling through the program. By the way, you're sitting around
right now and you're like, you know what, I didn't
get enough of this week, Clay. I know you talked
(33:45):
to us for fifteen hours, but I just I cannot
get enough of you. Well, you're in luck. I will
be on Martha McCollums show on Fox News. Literally as
soon as I finish this program, I'm going to step
over to my television studio, flip on the lights, and
I will be sitting there, and inevitably some of you
(34:06):
will decide that I am not dressed appropriately and immediately
react to what I am wearing. But I am telling
you that I look fabulous and I will soon be
on your television screens. I think they got me on
with James Carvill, so there could be some fireworks there.
But I'll be on Fox News in about what ten
minutes at the top of the next hour if you
(34:27):
are interested. And by the way, I think Sean Hannity's out,
but I'm on Sean Hannity's show Fox News Television show
on a little bit later as well. No, many of
you will be listening, and do listen to Sean Hannity
every single day. All Right, how much stuff do we
have out there that I need to hit? How many
of these are left? Do we have? Callers? Mike and
(34:48):
North Carolina? Are you still there? What you got for us?
Speaker 3 (34:53):
Hello?
Speaker 5 (34:54):
Yeah, I'll put it this way.
Speaker 2 (34:55):
I'm fifty eight years old.
Speaker 1 (34:56):
I saw Joe's on the big screen when I was
eight or nine.
Speaker 4 (35:00):
To this day, I will not.
Speaker 1 (35:02):
Swim in the ocean where I can't.
Speaker 5 (35:03):
Touch the sands.
Speaker 7 (35:05):
Also, like you, I have to remind myself.
Speaker 1 (35:07):
When I'm swimming in lace that there are no sharks
in freshwater. And there are times when I swim at
night in pools I gets flashbacks. It charged me for life.
Thank you. It's the most impactful movie that has ever
been made in the history of film. Jaws fiftieth anniversary day,
Frank in Glendora, California. Which you got for me?
Speaker 4 (35:25):
Yeah? Yeah, Clay, listen, I disagree with you. When Saving
Private Ryan came out, I don't know if you remember,
but when Saving Private Ryan came out, entire my father
generation was traumatized by the first fifteen minutes of that
(35:51):
great Steven Spielberg film. And that's reality, not chiction. Thanks
so my opinion that Trump's jobs.
Speaker 1 (36:03):
Well, look, Saving Private Ryan kind of a good movie, too, right,
But Schindler's List also a really good movie by Spielberg,
also historic. But I knew already that the guys who
walked on the beaches of Normandy and were getting shot
(36:24):
at by Nazis that was probably pretty scary. So it
was an amazing evocation of that, as was Schindler's List
an amazingly powerful avocation of exactly how awful the Holocaust was.
But I already knew both of those things. I really
didn't think about sharks eating me until I watched Jaws,
(36:46):
which is why I believe it was the most impactful.
Not a better film, Schindler's List and Saving Private Ryan
far better films. More impactful film Jaws, And if you
don't believe me, you're gonna be thinking about it when
you hop in the pool.
