The Sunday Hang is brought to you by Chalk Natural Supplements.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
For guys, gals, and nothing in between. Fuel your day
at Chalk dot com, bold reverence, and occasionally random.
Speaker 1 (00:12):
The Sunday Hang with Plain Buck podcast. It starts now
dB in Worcester, Massachusetts. PLAYBB Please, Hey Buck.
Speaker 3 (00:21):
Brian from Worcester, mass Just as a fellow Clancy fan,
I was surprised that while talking about Trump going after
the Cartels, you never referenced the fantastic Tom Clancy movie
Clear and Present Danger, where the President used an executive
order to send our special forces overseas to wipe out
(00:42):
the Cartels.
Speaker 1 (00:44):
Well, I appreciate the reminder. Brian from Wooster, listening on
news Radio five eighty there. I'll tell you this, I
think that of the Clancy film Cannon, I think that
The Hunt for Red October is the best I still think.
And yes, I know it's Alec Baldon. We don't like
his politics and all that, but I think the Hunter
(01:05):
for Red October still stands at number one. Clear and
Present Danger, though for me is number two, And I
think that Clear and Present Danger is for a something
that deals with the cartels. The only thing for me,
that really gets close to it would be Narcos on Netflix, Ciccario.
(01:25):
You know, I just watched Sacario with Carrie recently, which
is a Taylor Sheridan. I think it's really was not
quite his breakthrough. That would have been wind River, I think,
which he wrote and directed, which was also a good watch.
I enjoyed that, But Sacario I think was probably his
bigger I mean that that really launched him before Yellowstone.
I think it was right. So I watched the Caario
(01:47):
and it has some really good elements. But for me,
there were some aspects of Sacario that it could have
like he almost did it really well. You know the
scene where they're coming back from Mexico where they have
the high a high value target and custody and there's
a it's a very cool scene. I thought it could
have been a little bit better, though, I mean, you know,
(02:07):
so I don't want to be I don't want to
be too uh my expectation is too high. But Sacario's
good stuff. Clear and Present Danger, though, is excellent. That
ambush sequence in Clear and Present Danger, and if you
haven't seen it, movie holds up. It's a good movie.
It's a fun watch to this day. Tom Clancy in
the genre was a genius as you know. You know,
I'm I'm a Clancy Crichton guy. Those are my my
(02:28):
books of my youth that got me excited about books.
They're both fantastic. But yeah, I know the cartel stuff
that I don't think there's I've seen much else that's
really all that good. On the cartels. There was that
movie Savages, which was not good. Uh Cecario two not good,
not good. I don't know what had did he did
Taylor Sharnan even get involved with that one. That one
(02:50):
was trash. So you gotta do what you gotta do
to get the good stuff. Sunday Hay with Clay and Bucks.
Then in Colorado. What's going on?
Speaker 4 (03:01):
Ben Hey Buck? Yeah, I think the imports of all
the Somalians into into Minnesota has caused it. Also, like
you said, the city centers. You know, I used to
live up in Minnesota in the Boundary Waters and it's
a pretty pretty sweet little place too, so you know
(03:24):
it's just still city centers.
Speaker 1 (03:26):
Yeah, no, I hear you, Thanks Ben. I remember I
used to go I've mentioned for the show. Used to
go with my dad and my brother's on camping trips
in the boundary waters and feels like another world now,
But we would you could. I don't recommend you do this,
and certainly not now, but we would drink the water
out of the lake, which now at any camping trip
that I know of in the lower forty eight, like,
people don't really do that the same way. Yeah, it was.
(03:49):
It was amazing. It's see eagles and wolves and all
kinds of stuff. So yeah, it's very beautiful territory. It's
just a shame that the politics of it have gone
so far left and it's to continue in that direction. Unfortunately,
I don't see it getting better. I I you know,
I don't know. Do I have time to get into
the Yeah. I got a little time again into it
(04:09):
this So I'm not like a dating coach or you know,
a life life coach or any of that kind of stuff.
But I have been around the block a little bit
and I know some stuff about some things. And there's
this show Love Is Blind where the contestant Sarah Carton
left the would be groom Ben over the over the
(04:33):
issue of politics, left him at the altar, and this
went viral over the weekend, and it's because this is
let's play cut too. She says she left him because
of his opinions on BLM and the vaccine and trends
stuff played two like.
Speaker 5 (04:49):
I asked him that Black Lives matter and I have
no expert, but like when I asked him about it,
he's like, I guess I've never really thought too much
about it that affected me, especially in her own city,
Like how could it not? How did not make you
think about something? I asked him to, like what his
church's views are, and he said he didn't know. And
(05:11):
so then I watched a sermon online from about sexual
identity and it was traditional. I told that to then,
And it doesn't really have much to say about it,
you know, I want them to think about that stuff.
Speaker 3 (05:29):
It's equality, religion, the.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
Vaccine, the vaccine, trans identity issues, PLM.
Speaker 6 (05:39):
This guy is the luckiest guy. He thinks he got
left at the altar. He was walking across the train
tracks looking the wrong way, and a train went by
him in one hundred miles an hour and just clip
the end of his nose. He's lucky. He is the
luckiest guy you will see. This woman was going to
(05:59):
make him say, suffer for as long as this marriage
was going to last. So yeah, guys, do not ignore
the red flags out there if you're a single guy,
if you're out there still trying to get married. She says,
you don't have good policies on trends. Identity run Sundays
with Clay and Buck.
Speaker 1 (06:20):
You know one thing that I'll say as I try
it to be preachy about the fitness journey that I've
gone on, because you know, different people different times. You know,
I wasn't. It's funny people say, have you gotten all
new clothing? And I said, no, I just wear the
clothing I used to wear. You know, I got married,
I got a little little little set in my ways,
getting a little too much ice cream and I got
(06:41):
I injured my knee and you know, next thing, I know,
you're up thirty thirty five pounds. It can happen. And
it took a year. In one year, I gained thirty
thirty five pounds and six months I've taken it all off.
But whether you're trying to lose weight or anything else,
I'll just say this walking is amazing. And and I
know that sounds like the most oppos thing anybody said.
It probably long. It's like breathing is good, no, but
(07:03):
really walking should be a daily habit. And I don't
mean the use of your feet to get to where
you have to go for work or whatever. I mean,
take twenty to thirty minutes a day. Just start with that.
And here's the thing. I think. If you want to
listen to a book on tape, I'm fine with that,
or a podcast like the Clay and Buck Show, I'm
(07:24):
fine with that, right. But people will walk there checking
their phones all the time. That's that kind of takes
you out of it. And I mean, I now, Carey
and I walked yesterday for we just took a walk
for an hour. And we've already talked to that. How
when the baby comes, our plan and I know we're
not gonna have any sleep, We're gonna be exhausted. Thank
you for all this, Thank you for prepping us for that.
Trust me, we've been told now by many people you're
(07:47):
gonna miss getting a good night's sleep.
Speaker 3 (07:49):
We get it.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
We're very excited for a little little baby to be
coming here. Baby James. His name is gonna be James.
I'm gonna be getting that going soon. But on the
side of just walking, I'm telling you. And there's actually
a there's a fitness influencer named Michael Smoke who is
great on that Higher Up Wellness as his handle, he's
(08:11):
always promoting walking. And you know, I've met Michael. He's
a really interesting, really good guy, fantastic in the space
of wellness and mentality and everything. And I remember I'd
watched these videos where he'd say you should go walk,
and I said, come on, man, of course I'm walking.
Well no, actually I got a step counter and I
thought I was walking and I was doing like twenty
(08:31):
five hundred steps a day. That's nothing. And not only
is it about your your health adventtis, but I think
that it's something that any first of all, anyone can
I mean, assuming you know you're able bodied, people can walk.
It's not telling someone to go run six miles a day.
It's not telling someone to start deadlifting or something else.
You know, something you were all doing, but making time
(08:53):
for it. And I also find you know, actually a
DJ Shipley, who I'm going to be training with this
week is a former Steel Team six operator. I'm going
to be going up and training with him, really looking
forward to it. My two brothers are coming. He's also
a proponent of walking. I saw a video clip of him.
He says, you know, go out with your wife, walk
(09:13):
twenty minutes, no distractions, just with your wife, just be together,
talk whatever, be together. Brilliant. It's so true. And I
just think that it's something that sometimes the simple things
can make such a really big difference. I mean, now
I did like twelve thousand steps yesterday. I'm trying to
get over ten thousand, sometimes over twelve thousand a day.
(09:33):
There's the fitness component of it, but there's also just
the I think it's good for your mental health. I
think it's good for your body. I think it's good
for you if you can go with a spouse or
with a loved one or a friend. I try to
take calls now for work as much as I can moving,
so I don't love zoom calls, but anyway, I try
to take call if there's anything I can give you
from this week. And I know, again it's such an
(09:54):
obvious thing. And that's why I credited Higher of Wellness
and I sent him a message saying thank you for this.
That when you watch people, when someone says, hey make
walking more of a daily habit, your reaction is.
Speaker 3 (10:05):
I already do.
Speaker 4 (10:07):
Well do you though?
Speaker 1 (10:08):
Really? You know I didn't. Maybe you do, but I'm
telling you. And even if it means you have to
get in the car and go somewhere that you want
to walk, I know some of your probably you know
in areas where there's not a lot of walkability, find
the nearest place, go do it. It's I have. That's
the best thing that I've changed over the last six months,
other than some of the nutrition and weightlifting stuff I've
(10:30):
been doing, is just just walking and every day, every day,
go for a walk. And you know anyway, Sorry end
of speech, but I hope that's something that may be
helpful for many of you. And I guarantee you some
of you're gonna email me and say, why are you
wasting more time with this talk more about trade deficits. Okay,
I'm about to, but some of you will listen to me,
and you will in three months or six months or whenever.
(10:54):
You'll write into the show or you'll call into the show,
and you'll say, you know what, You're right. My wife
and I started, or my husband I started forty just
a thirty minute walk every day we could Your busy
stuff happens Yeah, it's about when you can, but it's
about trying to make time for it, and we're we're
present with each other. We sleep better at night because
you know your body is in this rhythm. I'm telling
(11:15):
you that that's the one, one little free bit of
advice on the show this week. I hope some of
you take it. The rest of you can make fun
of me and say that you know you're running super
ultra marathons. You don't need anyone telling you about walking.
Some of you are going to have a great six
month arc on this one and you're gonna say, wow,
you're really right, So throwing that out there for you.
Speaker 2 (11:34):
Sunday Sizzle with Clay and Buck, we're going to dive.
Speaker 1 (11:39):
Into the vacuum of leadership from the Democrats once again here.
But first off, Clay, just a news item that is predictable,
pretty amusing, and will also I think be used or
should be used as yet another data point showing why
(12:02):
Democrats cannot be trusted to speak the truth on even
the most obvious and basic things. Hunter Biden has said
that he has now broke because his artwork is no
longer selling. I just want everyone to understand we are
led to believe. If you were an avid CNN watcher,
(12:24):
if you believed Morning Joe and Madaw and the rest
of them, if you thought they were telling you the
truth all these years, you would then have to be
in a position where you think that all of the
artistic inspiration that led people to buy Hunter Biden's artwork
for up to five hundred thousand dollars a painting clay, Yeah,
(12:48):
half a million dollars for a painting. Somehow Hunter Biden's
creative genius has at exactly the moment that Daddy is
no longer president or going to be president or vice president, etc.
At exactly that moment, this modern day Michelangelo has lost
(13:09):
his creative touch. I just don't know what to say.
How could anybody have seen this coming? Except everybody saw
this coming. Everybody knew what this was. And I would
take you even back further because I remember having these
debates on CNN when I was just a lowly, lowly
conservative contributor at CNN, when they used to have those
(13:31):
and I would say, we all know the Clinton Foundation
is basically a Clinton brand slush fund. It's a nonprofit
that has really no purpose other than allowing the Clintons
to have a global brand that is taxpayer advantage and funded.
And the only reason people give to this, especially these
foreign countries, is to have influence with the Clintons that
(13:52):
has nothing to do with charity. And they said, no, no,
that's not true. And then when Hillary lost in twenty sixteen,
they had to shut down the Clinton Global Initiative within months.
Suddenly all these people didn't care about charity anymore. Well, Clay, suddenly,
now that Hunter Biden no longer has a daddy who
is president, people don't care about his artwork. And I guess,
(14:14):
I guess Anderson Cooper must be shocked by this.
Speaker 2 (14:18):
Here is the specifics. This is from a court filing.
According to Politico, he struggled to sell his paintings. Only
one has he sold in the past fourteen months, compared
with twenty seven that he sold in the prior two
or three years. He has now significant debts and nobody
(14:41):
is buying his book either. He sold just forty two
hundred copies of his book in the past year. And
here's a quote from his filing. Buck given the positive
feedback and reviews of my artwork and memoir, I was
expecting to obtain pay speaking engagements and paid appearances, but
(15:04):
that has not happened. Nobody cared about your stupid book, Hunter,
nobody cared about your artwork. They were paying to try
to get access to your daddy, who now has dementia,
and nobody cares about you at all. I'm sorry for
the brutal truth. Nobody wants to pay you to speak,
(15:25):
Nobody wants to pay you to appear you mattered because
your dad finagled his way into the White House and
as soon as that.
Speaker 1 (15:33):
Was over, he was over Hold on, you're forgetting something,
mister Clay Travis. Hunter Biden is also a globally renowned
Ukrainian natural gas markets experts. That's a good point, worth
at least eighty thousand dollars a month for his consulting expertise.
So I don't know why he doesn't just put himself
(15:55):
out there back on the natural gas arbitrage and consulting
circuit and he could start making eighty k again. Because
remember we were led to believe by all these so
honest journals that had nothing to do with the fact
that Hunter Biden's dad was Joe Biden, and it wasn't
that Ukrainian oligarchs were buying off the crack addict son
(16:18):
of the then vice president and now at one point president.
It was that he was a Yale educated lawyer and
knew those Ukrainian natural gas markets backwards and forwards. This
is what you can go back and see. They they
made these arguments so clearly it must be true.
Speaker 2 (16:34):
And maybe Hunter believed him because in his court filings
where he says that he's basically bankrupt the smartest man,
remember that Joe Biden knew the I hope that. Remember
the daughter Hunter, the granddaughter Hunter's daughter with the London Roberts,
who we interviewed on the program at one point because
(16:56):
she published a book. Do you remember that they tried
to set up Hunters obligations as a father by giving
her the artwork. I hope, I hope, I deeply hope.
I don't know what the settlement ended up being for
that little girl. I deeply hope that they didn't take
(17:18):
the Hunter Biden artwork as a child support payment in Liua.
I mean that that is to me indicative of just
how despicable Joe Biden actually was in real life. Remember
they put all the all the stockings up for the
grandchildren and the cat and dogs. I think, and left
(17:38):
the little girl off the off the family stocking list.
They refuse to acknowledge her as a granddaughter. I still
think Joe Biden has never met her in his entire life,
and he doesn't have unfortunately, I don't think that many
years left. I would think you would want to meet
all your grandchildren, even if you didn't necessarily a proof
(18:00):
of the way that one of your children had fathered
that child. But Hunter said he had no money, and
then they tried to settle by him giving all this
artwork to his daughter. And I hope that they got
cash instead of the artwork, because nobody's buying these things.
And remember that one guy who was like Hunter's sugar daddy,
(18:23):
that guy you talk about a bad investment. I think
he had given like seven or eight million dollars to Hunter,
tapped out basically had nothing left. He's never getting his
money back either. Okay, but just.
Speaker 1 (18:34):
The reason we can transition to this. But I just
think the reason that this matters to the degree again,
it's not about celebrating the clear destruction of a very
flawed individual's finances and reputation everything else. He should have
gone to prison. You any of you listening, would have
gone to prison. Hunter didn't because of who his daddy was,
So keep that in mind. He broke the law many
(18:55):
times over, should have gone to prison, was pardoned. As
we all know, Joe Biden, in a truly biden Esque
last act, part in his effectively is immediate family, all
of his immediate family. I don't think Jill was in there,
but a lot of his immediate family got pardons from him.
The whole thing was so slimy and gross, and I
(19:15):
just think it ties in Clex. I know we can
talk about the Gavin Newsom thing here, but it ties
into the media to try to destroy Trump. Completely abandoned
all pretense of rationality and credibility, and to the point
where they would even say, no, Hunter Biden's actually really
talented as an artist. No, Hunter Biden wasn't getting paid.
(19:38):
It wasn't a pay to play thing with Barisma and Ukraine.
You know, he's just really smart and was going to
advise they were making these arguments, or at least they
were shouting down the people who were making these arguments
saying it's irrelevant, it doesn't matter. No, it was very relevant.
Joe Biden sold out our country. Joe Biden is a
corupt piece of trash. And now we all see it,
(19:58):
and now that it doesn't matter to Themocrats anymore, we
can say it. And with that, would you like to
know have the discussion of mister Gavin Newsom, who I
think sees this. I think he sees this. I think
he knows that the media environment has changed. I think
he knows the Democrats no longer have the the cloak
of social media invincibility anymore, because thanks thank you Elon,
(20:19):
by the way, he broke the damn on this.
Speaker 2 (20:22):
Do you remember? It's been a long time, and I
bet a lot of you out there remember it. I
don't know if you remember it. Buck. Early in Bill
Clinton's tenure as a national Democrat figure, he had What's
called a Sister Soul job moment. I don't do you
remember this? It was it was Clinton turning his back
(20:43):
on the left in the Democrat Party. He called out
this rapper whose name was Sister Souljah.
Speaker 1 (20:50):
Had sister soldiers.
Speaker 2 (20:53):
I might be mispronouncing it, but she had a popular
rap where she basically bragged about cop getting shot and
and all of this sort of violent behavior in her
rap lyrics, and Bill Clinton said, yeah, this is not good.
He turned his back on her, and it was that
(21:15):
that sort of propelled him into a new age of
Democrat leadership. This feels to me like Gavin Newsom trying
to turn his back on the ascendant left in the
party because he recognizes that they've lost their mind. Here
is his conversation with Charlie Kirk. Note he dodges a
(21:36):
little bit, but it's already considered to be a repudiation
of the idea of men in women's sports. Listen to
that cut.
Speaker 1 (21:43):
Would you do something like that? Would you say no
men in female sports?
Speaker 7 (21:46):
Well, I think it's an issue of fairness. I completely
agree with you on that. I revere sports and so
the issue of fairness is completely legit. And I saw
that the last couple of years. Boy did I saw
how you guys were able to weaponize that weaponize, don't
Webinar's maybe the jority of you're right, but you able
to shine a light on highlight it in a way
that frankly, there are not that many we're talking about,
(22:08):
I think, and ten thousand, no, no, But I just
didn't realize.
Speaker 4 (22:12):
It's eight hundred ninety medals in trophies that we know
of in the last five years.
Speaker 1 (22:15):
That's a lot.
Speaker 7 (22:16):
No, So I'm gonna let me step back say completely
fair on the issue of fairness, I completely agree.
Speaker 1 (22:22):
He didn't say anything. There's no valiation.
Speaker 2 (22:25):
By the way it's being cover is so interesting that
and I tweeted out to Gavin Newsome, Yes or no?
Do you believe that men should be able to compete
in women's sports? And here is the way the New
York Times is covering this though, Buck This is the
New York Times headline, Newsom splits with Democrats on transgender
(22:46):
athletes quote, it's deeply unfair. The remarks by Governor Gavin
Newsom of California, a potential White House hopeful, were an
extraordinary break from fellow Democrats and signaled a newly defensive
position on the issue.
Speaker 1 (23:05):
Is the he say, Did I miss it? Did he
say that it's deeply unfair for men to compete against women?
I didn't. I just I just heard it's an issue
of fairness.
Speaker 2 (23:13):
He said it's deeply unfair at one point in the
embedded in that age. Okay, well that didn't but he
didn't say I don't support it, because then he followed
up by saying, but we got issues of suicide and
everything else. What I'm what I think is interesting here
is I feel like this was calculated by Newsom. I
don't think The New York Times would be writing this
(23:35):
story unless Gavin Newsom were intentionally trying to break from this.
And by the way, other Democrats are already being asked
about this when we come back buck Hakeem Jeffries, who
is the House Minority Leader. He was asked about it,
and you're gonna want to hear his answer because it
(23:56):
is incompetent, even by Democrat answering question level incompetence. But yes,
it's still the way Gavin Newsom answered it. He didn't
answer it on yes or no, which is what to me,
this is in the same demand that was the most
Gavin Newsome answer.
Speaker 1 (24:12):
You know, yeah, totally. I'm totally with you on that
it's a thing we should talk about. I totally agree
that having a conversation about the thing is worth doing.
Right now, it's like, well, are you agreeing? Are you
agreeing that we should talk about a thing, and whether
we agree on it or not,

at Chalk dot com, bold reverence, and occasionally random.
Speaker 1 (00:12):
The Sunday Hang with Plain Buck podcast. It starts now
dB in Worcester, Massachusetts. PLAYBB Please, Hey Buck.
Speaker 3 (00:21):
Brian from Worcester, mass Just as a fellow Clancy fan,
I was surprised that while talking about Trump going after
the Cartels, you never referenced the fantastic Tom Clancy movie
Clear and Present Danger, where the President used an executive
order to send our special forces overseas to wipe out
(00:42):
the Cartels.
Speaker 1 (00:44):
Well, I appreciate the reminder. Brian from Wooster, listening on
news Radio five eighty there. I'll tell you this, I
think that of the Clancy film Cannon, I think that
The Hunt for Red October is the best I still think.
And yes, I know it's Alec Baldon. We don't like
his politics and all that, but I think the Hunter
(01:05):
for Red October still stands at number one. Clear and
Present Danger, though for me is number two, And I
think that Clear and Present Danger is for a something
that deals with the cartels. The only thing for me,
that really gets close to it would be Narcos on Netflix, Ciccario.
(01:25):
You know, I just watched Sacario with Carrie recently, which
is a Taylor Sheridan. I think it's really was not
quite his breakthrough. That would have been wind River, I think,
which he wrote and directed, which was also a good watch.
I enjoyed that, But Sacario I think was probably his
bigger I mean that that really launched him before Yellowstone.
I think it was right. So I watched the Caario
(01:47):
and it has some really good elements. But for me,
there were some aspects of Sacario that it could have
like he almost did it really well. You know the
scene where they're coming back from Mexico where they have
the high a high value target and custody and there's
a it's a very cool scene. I thought it could
have been a little bit better, though, I mean, you know,
(02:07):
so I don't want to be I don't want to
be too uh my expectation is too high. But Sacario's
good stuff. Clear and Present Danger, though, is excellent. That
ambush sequence in Clear and Present Danger, and if you
haven't seen it, movie holds up. It's a good movie.
It's a fun watch to this day. Tom Clancy in
the genre was a genius as you know. You know,
I'm I'm a Clancy Crichton guy. Those are my my
(02:28):
books of my youth that got me excited about books.
They're both fantastic. But yeah, I know the cartel stuff
that I don't think there's I've seen much else that's
really all that good. On the cartels. There was that
movie Savages, which was not good. Uh Cecario two not good,
not good. I don't know what had did he did
Taylor Sharnan even get involved with that one. That one
(02:50):
was trash. So you gotta do what you gotta do
to get the good stuff. Sunday Hay with Clay and Bucks.
Then in Colorado. What's going on?
Speaker 4 (03:01):
Ben Hey Buck? Yeah, I think the imports of all
the Somalians into into Minnesota has caused it. Also, like
you said, the city centers. You know, I used to
live up in Minnesota in the Boundary Waters and it's
a pretty pretty sweet little place too, so you know
(03:24):
it's just still city centers.
Speaker 1 (03:26):
Yeah, no, I hear you, Thanks Ben. I remember I
used to go I've mentioned for the show. Used to
go with my dad and my brother's on camping trips
in the boundary waters and feels like another world now,
But we would you could. I don't recommend you do this,
and certainly not now, but we would drink the water
out of the lake, which now at any camping trip
that I know of in the lower forty eight, like,
people don't really do that the same way. Yeah, it was.
(03:49):
It was amazing. It's see eagles and wolves and all
kinds of stuff. So yeah, it's very beautiful territory. It's
just a shame that the politics of it have gone
so far left and it's to continue in that direction. Unfortunately,
I don't see it getting better. I I you know,
I don't know. Do I have time to get into
the Yeah. I got a little time again into it
(04:09):
this So I'm not like a dating coach or you know,
a life life coach or any of that kind of stuff.
But I have been around the block a little bit
and I know some stuff about some things. And there's
this show Love Is Blind where the contestant Sarah Carton
left the would be groom Ben over the over the
(04:33):
issue of politics, left him at the altar, and this
went viral over the weekend, and it's because this is
let's play cut too. She says she left him because
of his opinions on BLM and the vaccine and trends
stuff played two like.
Speaker 5 (04:49):
I asked him that Black Lives matter and I have
no expert, but like when I asked him about it,
he's like, I guess I've never really thought too much
about it that affected me, especially in her own city,
Like how could it not? How did not make you
think about something? I asked him to, like what his
church's views are, and he said he didn't know. And
(05:11):
so then I watched a sermon online from about sexual
identity and it was traditional. I told that to then,
And it doesn't really have much to say about it,
you know, I want them to think about that stuff.
Speaker 3 (05:29):
It's equality, religion, the.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
Vaccine, the vaccine, trans identity issues, PLM.
Speaker 6 (05:39):
This guy is the luckiest guy. He thinks he got
left at the altar. He was walking across the train
tracks looking the wrong way, and a train went by
him in one hundred miles an hour and just clip
the end of his nose. He's lucky. He is the
luckiest guy you will see. This woman was going to
(05:59):
make him say, suffer for as long as this marriage
was going to last. So yeah, guys, do not ignore
the red flags out there if you're a single guy,
if you're out there still trying to get married. She says,
you don't have good policies on trends. Identity run Sundays
with Clay and Buck.
Speaker 1 (06:20):
You know one thing that I'll say as I try
it to be preachy about the fitness journey that I've
gone on, because you know, different people different times. You know,
I wasn't. It's funny people say, have you gotten all
new clothing? And I said, no, I just wear the
clothing I used to wear. You know, I got married,
I got a little little little set in my ways,
getting a little too much ice cream and I got
(06:41):
I injured my knee and you know, next thing, I know,
you're up thirty thirty five pounds. It can happen. And
it took a year. In one year, I gained thirty
thirty five pounds and six months I've taken it all off.
But whether you're trying to lose weight or anything else,
I'll just say this walking is amazing. And and I
know that sounds like the most oppos thing anybody said.
It probably long. It's like breathing is good, no, but
(07:03):
really walking should be a daily habit. And I don't
mean the use of your feet to get to where
you have to go for work or whatever. I mean,
take twenty to thirty minutes a day. Just start with that.
And here's the thing. I think. If you want to
listen to a book on tape, I'm fine with that,
or a podcast like the Clay and Buck Show, I'm
(07:24):
fine with that, right. But people will walk there checking
their phones all the time. That's that kind of takes
you out of it. And I mean, I now, Carey
and I walked yesterday for we just took a walk
for an hour. And we've already talked to that. How
when the baby comes, our plan and I know we're
not gonna have any sleep, We're gonna be exhausted. Thank
you for all this, Thank you for prepping us for that.
Trust me, we've been told now by many people you're
(07:47):
gonna miss getting a good night's sleep.
Speaker 3 (07:49):
We get it.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
We're very excited for a little little baby to be
coming here. Baby James. His name is gonna be James.
I'm gonna be getting that going soon. But on the
side of just walking, I'm telling you. And there's actually
a there's a fitness influencer named Michael Smoke who is
great on that Higher Up Wellness as his handle, he's
(08:11):
always promoting walking. And you know, I've met Michael. He's
a really interesting, really good guy, fantastic in the space
of wellness and mentality and everything. And I remember I'd
watched these videos where he'd say you should go walk,
and I said, come on, man, of course I'm walking.
Well no, actually I got a step counter and I
thought I was walking and I was doing like twenty
(08:31):
five hundred steps a day. That's nothing. And not only
is it about your your health adventtis, but I think
that it's something that any first of all, anyone can
I mean, assuming you know you're able bodied, people can walk.
It's not telling someone to go run six miles a day.
It's not telling someone to start deadlifting or something else.
You know, something you were all doing, but making time
(08:53):
for it. And I also find you know, actually a
DJ Shipley, who I'm going to be training with this
week is a former Steel Team six operator. I'm going
to be going up and training with him, really looking
forward to it. My two brothers are coming. He's also
a proponent of walking. I saw a video clip of him.
He says, you know, go out with your wife, walk
(09:13):
twenty minutes, no distractions, just with your wife, just be together,
talk whatever, be together. Brilliant. It's so true. And I
just think that it's something that sometimes the simple things
can make such a really big difference. I mean, now
I did like twelve thousand steps yesterday. I'm trying to
get over ten thousand, sometimes over twelve thousand a day.
(09:33):
There's the fitness component of it, but there's also just
the I think it's good for your mental health. I
think it's good for your body. I think it's good
for you if you can go with a spouse or
with a loved one or a friend. I try to
take calls now for work as much as I can moving,
so I don't love zoom calls, but anyway, I try
to take call if there's anything I can give you
from this week. And I know, again it's such an
(09:54):
obvious thing. And that's why I credited Higher of Wellness
and I sent him a message saying thank you for this.
That when you watch people, when someone says, hey make
walking more of a daily habit, your reaction is.
Speaker 3 (10:05):
I already do.
Speaker 4 (10:07):
Well do you though?
Speaker 1 (10:08):
Really? You know I didn't. Maybe you do, but I'm
telling you. And even if it means you have to
get in the car and go somewhere that you want
to walk, I know some of your probably you know
in areas where there's not a lot of walkability, find
the nearest place, go do it. It's I have. That's
the best thing that I've changed over the last six months,
other than some of the nutrition and weightlifting stuff I've
(10:30):
been doing, is just just walking and every day, every day,
go for a walk. And you know anyway, Sorry end
of speech, but I hope that's something that may be
helpful for many of you. And I guarantee you some
of you're gonna email me and say, why are you
wasting more time with this talk more about trade deficits. Okay,
I'm about to, but some of you will listen to me,
and you will in three months or six months or whenever.
(10:54):
You'll write into the show or you'll call into the show,
and you'll say, you know what, You're right. My wife
and I started, or my husband I started forty just
a thirty minute walk every day we could Your busy
stuff happens Yeah, it's about when you can, but it's
about trying to make time for it, and we're we're
present with each other. We sleep better at night because
you know your body is in this rhythm. I'm telling
(11:15):
you that that's the one, one little free bit of
advice on the show this week. I hope some of
you take it. The rest of you can make fun
of me and say that you know you're running super
ultra marathons. You don't need anyone telling you about walking.
Some of you are going to have a great six
month arc on this one and you're gonna say, wow,
you're really right, So throwing that out there for you.
Speaker 2 (11:34):
Sunday Sizzle with Clay and Buck, we're going to dive.
Speaker 1 (11:39):
Into the vacuum of leadership from the Democrats once again here.
But first off, Clay, just a news item that is predictable,
pretty amusing, and will also I think be used or
should be used as yet another data point showing why
(12:02):
Democrats cannot be trusted to speak the truth on even
the most obvious and basic things. Hunter Biden has said
that he has now broke because his artwork is no
longer selling. I just want everyone to understand we are
led to believe. If you were an avid CNN watcher,
(12:24):
if you believed Morning Joe and Madaw and the rest
of them, if you thought they were telling you the
truth all these years, you would then have to be
in a position where you think that all of the
artistic inspiration that led people to buy Hunter Biden's artwork
for up to five hundred thousand dollars a painting clay, Yeah,
(12:48):
half a million dollars for a painting. Somehow Hunter Biden's
creative genius has at exactly the moment that Daddy is
no longer president or going to be president or vice president, etc.
At exactly that moment, this modern day Michelangelo has lost
(13:09):
his creative touch. I just don't know what to say.
How could anybody have seen this coming? Except everybody saw
this coming. Everybody knew what this was. And I would
take you even back further because I remember having these
debates on CNN when I was just a lowly, lowly
conservative contributor at CNN, when they used to have those
(13:31):
and I would say, we all know the Clinton Foundation
is basically a Clinton brand slush fund. It's a nonprofit
that has really no purpose other than allowing the Clintons
to have a global brand that is taxpayer advantage and funded.
And the only reason people give to this, especially these
foreign countries, is to have influence with the Clintons that
(13:52):
has nothing to do with charity. And they said, no, no,
that's not true. And then when Hillary lost in twenty sixteen,
they had to shut down the Clinton Global Initiative within months.
Suddenly all these people didn't care about charity anymore. Well, Clay, suddenly,
now that Hunter Biden no longer has a daddy who
is president, people don't care about his artwork. And I guess,
(14:14):
I guess Anderson Cooper must be shocked by this.
Speaker 2 (14:18):
Here is the specifics. This is from a court filing.
According to Politico, he struggled to sell his paintings. Only
one has he sold in the past fourteen months, compared
with twenty seven that he sold in the prior two
or three years. He has now significant debts and nobody
(14:41):
is buying his book either. He sold just forty two
hundred copies of his book in the past year. And
here's a quote from his filing. Buck given the positive
feedback and reviews of my artwork and memoir, I was
expecting to obtain pay speaking engagements and paid appearances, but
(15:04):
that has not happened. Nobody cared about your stupid book, Hunter,
nobody cared about your artwork. They were paying to try
to get access to your daddy, who now has dementia,
and nobody cares about you at all. I'm sorry for
the brutal truth. Nobody wants to pay you to speak,
(15:25):
Nobody wants to pay you to appear you mattered because
your dad finagled his way into the White House and
as soon as that.
Speaker 1 (15:33):
Was over, he was over Hold on, you're forgetting something,
mister Clay Travis. Hunter Biden is also a globally renowned
Ukrainian natural gas markets experts. That's a good point, worth
at least eighty thousand dollars a month for his consulting expertise.
So I don't know why he doesn't just put himself
(15:55):
out there back on the natural gas arbitrage and consulting
circuit and he could start making eighty k again. Because
remember we were led to believe by all these so
honest journals that had nothing to do with the fact
that Hunter Biden's dad was Joe Biden, and it wasn't
that Ukrainian oligarchs were buying off the crack addict son
(16:18):
of the then vice president and now at one point president.
It was that he was a Yale educated lawyer and
knew those Ukrainian natural gas markets backwards and forwards. This
is what you can go back and see. They they
made these arguments so clearly it must be true.
Speaker 2 (16:34):
And maybe Hunter believed him because in his court filings
where he says that he's basically bankrupt the smartest man,
remember that Joe Biden knew the I hope that. Remember
the daughter Hunter, the granddaughter Hunter's daughter with the London Roberts,
who we interviewed on the program at one point because
(16:56):
she published a book. Do you remember that they tried
to set up Hunters obligations as a father by giving
her the artwork. I hope, I hope, I deeply hope.
I don't know what the settlement ended up being for
that little girl. I deeply hope that they didn't take
(17:18):
the Hunter Biden artwork as a child support payment in Liua.
I mean that that is to me indicative of just
how despicable Joe Biden actually was in real life. Remember
they put all the all the stockings up for the
grandchildren and the cat and dogs. I think, and left
(17:38):
the little girl off the off the family stocking list.
They refuse to acknowledge her as a granddaughter. I still
think Joe Biden has never met her in his entire life,
and he doesn't have unfortunately, I don't think that many
years left. I would think you would want to meet
all your grandchildren, even if you didn't necessarily a proof
(18:00):
of the way that one of your children had fathered
that child. But Hunter said he had no money, and
then they tried to settle by him giving all this
artwork to his daughter. And I hope that they got
cash instead of the artwork, because nobody's buying these things.
And remember that one guy who was like Hunter's sugar daddy,
(18:23):
that guy you talk about a bad investment. I think
he had given like seven or eight million dollars to Hunter,
tapped out basically had nothing left. He's never getting his
money back either. Okay, but just.
Speaker 1 (18:34):
The reason we can transition to this. But I just
think the reason that this matters to the degree again,
it's not about celebrating the clear destruction of a very
flawed individual's finances and reputation everything else. He should have
gone to prison. You any of you listening, would have
gone to prison. Hunter didn't because of who his daddy was,
So keep that in mind. He broke the law many
(18:55):
times over, should have gone to prison, was pardoned. As
we all know, Joe Biden, in a truly biden Esque
last act, part in his effectively is immediate family, all
of his immediate family. I don't think Jill was in there,
but a lot of his immediate family got pardons from him.
The whole thing was so slimy and gross, and I
(19:15):
just think it ties in Clex. I know we can
talk about the Gavin Newsom thing here, but it ties
into the media to try to destroy Trump. Completely abandoned
all pretense of rationality and credibility, and to the point
where they would even say, no, Hunter Biden's actually really
talented as an artist. No, Hunter Biden wasn't getting paid.
(19:38):
It wasn't a pay to play thing with Barisma and Ukraine.
You know, he's just really smart and was going to
advise they were making these arguments, or at least they
were shouting down the people who were making these arguments
saying it's irrelevant, it doesn't matter. No, it was very relevant.
Joe Biden sold out our country. Joe Biden is a
corupt piece of trash. And now we all see it,
(19:58):
and now that it doesn't matter to Themocrats anymore, we
can say it. And with that, would you like to
know have the discussion of mister Gavin Newsom, who I
think sees this. I think he sees this. I think
he knows that the media environment has changed. I think
he knows the Democrats no longer have the the cloak
of social media invincibility anymore, because thanks thank you Elon,
(20:19):
by the way, he broke the damn on this.
Speaker 2 (20:22):
Do you remember? It's been a long time, and I
bet a lot of you out there remember it. I
don't know if you remember it. Buck. Early in Bill
Clinton's tenure as a national Democrat figure, he had What's
called a Sister Soul job moment. I don't do you
remember this? It was it was Clinton turning his back
(20:43):
on the left in the Democrat Party. He called out
this rapper whose name was Sister Souljah.
Speaker 1 (20:50):
Had sister soldiers.
Speaker 2 (20:53):
I might be mispronouncing it, but she had a popular
rap where she basically bragged about cop getting shot and
and all of this sort of violent behavior in her
rap lyrics, and Bill Clinton said, yeah, this is not good.
He turned his back on her, and it was that
(21:15):
that sort of propelled him into a new age of
Democrat leadership. This feels to me like Gavin Newsom trying
to turn his back on the ascendant left in the
party because he recognizes that they've lost their mind. Here
is his conversation with Charlie Kirk. Note he dodges a
(21:36):
little bit, but it's already considered to be a repudiation
of the idea of men in women's sports. Listen to
that cut.
Speaker 1 (21:43):
Would you do something like that? Would you say no
men in female sports?
Speaker 7 (21:46):
Well, I think it's an issue of fairness. I completely
agree with you on that. I revere sports and so
the issue of fairness is completely legit. And I saw
that the last couple of years. Boy did I saw
how you guys were able to weaponize that weaponize, don't
Webinar's maybe the jority of you're right, but you able
to shine a light on highlight it in a way
that frankly, there are not that many we're talking about,
(22:08):
I think, and ten thousand, no, no, But I just
didn't realize.
Speaker 4 (22:12):
It's eight hundred ninety medals in trophies that we know
of in the last five years.
Speaker 1 (22:15):
That's a lot.
Speaker 7 (22:16):
No, So I'm gonna let me step back say completely
fair on the issue of fairness, I completely agree.
Speaker 1 (22:22):
He didn't say anything. There's no valiation.
Speaker 2 (22:25):
By the way it's being cover is so interesting that
and I tweeted out to Gavin Newsome, Yes or no?
Do you believe that men should be able to compete
in women's sports? And here is the way the New
York Times is covering this though, Buck This is the
New York Times headline, Newsom splits with Democrats on transgender
(22:46):
athletes quote, it's deeply unfair. The remarks by Governor Gavin
Newsom of California, a potential White House hopeful, were an
extraordinary break from fellow Democrats and signaled a newly defensive
position on the issue.
Speaker 1 (23:05):
Is the he say, Did I miss it? Did he
say that it's deeply unfair for men to compete against women?
I didn't. I just I just heard it's an issue
of fairness.
Speaker 2 (23:13):
He said it's deeply unfair at one point in the
embedded in that age. Okay, well that didn't but he
didn't say I don't support it, because then he followed
up by saying, but we got issues of suicide and
everything else. What I'm what I think is interesting here
is I feel like this was calculated by Newsom. I
don't think The New York Times would be writing this
(23:35):
story unless Gavin Newsom were intentionally trying to break from this.
And by the way, other Democrats are already being asked
about this when we come back buck Hakeem Jeffries, who
is the House Minority Leader. He was asked about it,
and you're gonna want to hear his answer because it
(23:56):
is incompetent, even by Democrat answering question level incompetence. But yes,
it's still the way Gavin Newsom answered it. He didn't
answer it on yes or no, which is what to me,
this is in the same demand that was the most
Gavin Newsome answer.
Speaker 1 (24:12):
You know, yeah, totally. I'm totally with you on that
it's a thing we should talk about. I totally agree
that having a conversation about the thing is worth doing.
Right now, it's like, well, are you agreeing? Are you
agreeing that we should talk about a thing, and whether
we agree on it or not,
