Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome it, everybody. Tuesday edition of The Clay Travis and
Buck Sexton Show kicks off right now. It's the week
before Christmas, and all through the land, not a liberal
is stirring as if they don't have a plan. Clay,
I feel like the Democrats are in recession, in remission

(00:23):
right now. They are having a tough one. We've got
a lot of stories to discuss, though, in the news
cycle in general, not that many fake news narratives to
swat down, something we normally do here, because fake news
is just hoping they don't get pink slips for Christmas.
I think that's kind of where they are. Can't even
watch My beloved no longer beloved, Morning Joe anymore. Once

(00:45):
the hysteria has gone, the thrill is gone. But some
other news stories to dive into, for example, the drones
over New Jersey thing. This is just out of hint.
We've got to We've got to get a definitive answer here,
and Clay, my apologies for you and for the millions listening.
If you hear any whining in the background, Ginger has

(01:06):
snuck into the studio and has decided that she is
begging to play fetch with her new Christmas toy, so
at least we are Christmas themed. It's like a little
chewable elf that makes a squeak. So just some a
programming note or a technical note. Apologies if you hear.
I'll take care of her the next break with some
chicken jerky. But we have the drones over New Jersey story,

(01:30):
we have the still the aftermath of Biden Harris and
just what a disaster it is Trump cabinet picks. I'm
seeing Clay these commercials. I've never seen this before. Commercials
on Fox News for Pete Hegseth's role as Secretary of Defense.
So Maga has decided to go all in behind our

(01:54):
friend Pete. And the decision was made that okay, they
got you know, they may a lot of noise, and
Matt Gate's gonna host a TV show now and you know,
best of luck to him, and I hope everything goes great.
But he stepped aside. They thought they'd get that again
with Pete. That's not gonna happen. That's been made very clear.
So a little more on the Trump cabinet picks, that

(02:15):
we can get to a horrific shooting yesterday and we
didn't have many details when it happened, when it broke
and we're on the air in Madison, Wisconsin. The thing
that's getting the most attention about other than obviously it's
horrific school shooting. Two people killed, one member of the
faculty and one student, and then also the shooter committed suicide.

(02:38):
It's a female shooter, right, this is And there's all
this conversation that was happening online about well, we don't
know the gender. No, no, no, no, we know the gender.
Whether they're reporting it accurately or not, it's a different thing.
But we live in the real world, and in the
real world you can tell what somebody's gender is. So
so far the reports are a teenage female engaged in

(03:01):
that shooting, and there's a manifesto. We might talk to
you a bit more about that. Oh, Biden wants gun control.
Fascinating clay gun control for this, but no gun control talk.
After the assassination of the United Healthcare CEO, and I
had alluded to this before, I believe the United Healthcare
CEO is someone who, according people in the business, recognize

(03:25):
the problems of the business, recognize United's reputation was taking
hits for wanted to improve it. This is coming from
people inside the industry all over the place that this was,
that this guy was a really good guy. Yeah, he
worked in the healthcare industry. So do hundreds of thousands
of other people. And you know, the whole narrative on this.

(03:47):
Very happy to see Trump come out yesterday swinging on
this issue and just say, any support for this is
completely outrageous. You know, any any you know FI on
this sympathy for the shoot or whatever you want to
call it, it's crazy. We can talk about that, but Clay,
I actually want to start with this for a moment here.

(04:10):
Usually we don't talk much about Canada, but you know,
Trump has been racking up a lot of wins and
maybe some of our we do have Canadian listeners because
everyone should Yeah, something everyone should know. A huge portion
of Canada lives within about what a two hour drive
of the US border. Basically all Canadians live within striking

(04:30):
distance of America. That whole big map that you see
gets very cold up there. They pretty much all lives.
Look at where Toronto is. Some of our I assume
some of our stations reach naturally, like up in Michigan, Wisconsin,
reached naturally into Canada. Anyway, if you have some insights
on the Canadian politics, let us know clay. Prime Minister

(04:52):
Justin Trudeau is considering resigning. He's been in power for
what eight years, I think maybe even a little more
than that. And his finance minister, who is a lib maniac,
Christia Freeland, is also resigning out of just not being
willing or able to handle the incoming Trump administration, the

(05:13):
tariffs and everything else. Trump is not tired of winning.

Speaker 2 (05:18):
Yeah, and this is emblematic I think of a larger
global pushback that's going on against what I would call
the woke mind virus, as Elon has put it. The
most powerful right now leader in all of Europe is
the Maloney, I believe, the leader right now of Italy,

(05:38):
and she is as far right winging I think as
basically any European leader is anyone that's in control of
the European capital. And I don't know if you saw
the numbers that came out on the illegal immigration from
Syria that has flooded into all of Europe, and now

(05:59):
they're talking about that those people are going to go
back because they've overthrown assad. But Germany I believe Bluck
I couldn't believe. I had to do a double take.
I think Germany took a million Syrian refugees in nearly
in the space of virtually no time at all, and
much like illegal immigration has provoked a big reaction here.

(06:22):
All over Europe, people are fed up with the degree
to which illegal immigrants or immigrants of a questionable legality
right if they're not technically illegal, they're they're flooding into
so many of these different European countries, depending on what
their laws are, and it is destabilizing the entire continent

(06:43):
right now. And the Syrian angle is one where people
are now saying, well, you have to go back because
whatever sort of visa you were getting to allow you
to stay because of the danger of the Assad regime,
now you have to go back. But fuck a million Syrians.
Did you know that they had taken that many in Germany?

(07:04):
And they just the German government just collapsed.

Speaker 1 (07:08):
Years ago, I was in the Syrian refugee camp called Zatry.
It's very well known. It's I think the second or
third largest refugee camp in the world. I mean, it's
it's tense in the desert it's not you know, this
is not people living in a city or in a
sort of normal urban circumstance at all. It's tents in
the middle of the desert. There were one hundred and

(07:28):
twenty thousand when I was there, and that it was
just at one time in the desert, and everyone this
was obviously through a trends that of everyone that I
talked to, and this was at the height of the
Syrian Civil War, they all said they wanted to go
back to Syria. I mean, maybe a couple said they
wanted to go to Europe, but overwhelmingly it was like,
you know, eight out of ten were saying, no, no,
I want to go back to Syria. Well, here is

(07:51):
your chance. And I think eventually we're going to have
to have a real conversation about people that want to
come to Western countries, whether it's your Europe, European countries,
or America and say it's because their home country is
such a mess and a threat to them. But then
they don't want to go back to their home country

(08:11):
because these places America, Germany are so much better than
their home countries. I think they need to start to
just admit publicly, like yeah, no, thank you for having me,
because your country is better and you are better at
running a society than where I come from. Because what
happens in a lot of these places. You see a
lot of this in the UK, a lot of us
in France, and yes, some of this here in America.

(08:33):
I see a lot of it in South Florida. I'll
tell you. People come from Argentina, and they come from Brazil,
and these are sort of the wealthier migrants, including some
of them who have come here under some kind of
a refugee status, and they want to tell us how
to do things here. And I just find that very curious, because, well,
what's going on where you came from. You don't want
to go back, but you want to tell us that

(08:53):
things here aren't good enough or you're not happy enough
with it. This is part of assimilation. This is part
of social and nation state cohesion. People that are in
these countries should show that they want to be in
the country by learning the language, obeying the law, assimilating
all of the above. Europe has had huge problems with
this clay and if they want to live apart, which

(09:14):
they do in countries like Sweden and Germany. In Many, respects.
And I'm not talking about everybody. This is a big
complicated issue. Some of them should probably want to go
back to the countries that they think they, you know,
can do such a great job running.

Speaker 2 (09:26):
Did you see all the data showing that America today
has more immigrants than we did during the peak of
Ellis Island when you when you were out, I did
not know what you might ever talked about it. Yeah,
I mean, that is one of the most jaw dropping
stories that I've seen in a very long time. And
I give credit to the New York Times for actually
writing about it. But it's not just the United States

(09:48):
where it's happening. But I mean, Clay, it's fine to
write it. Now, where was the numbers didn't just come in?
Where was this year twenty four right? I mean they
didn't write it before the election. They waited until the
election was decided. And I do think that is emblematic
of I saw you tweeting about it, and we talked

(10:09):
about yesterday to start the show that the vibe shift
was real. When you're looking at Netflix and Apple and
Amazon and Facebook and all these companies sending their CEOs
basically to bend the need to Trump. You know that
the culture has shifted in a big way, because remember
in twenty sixteen, the resistance began essentially the day that

(10:32):
Trump won. It's all dead right now, Clay, I was
in so see you live, you live in America. I
lived in Flatirn in New York City when Trump won
in twenty sixteen, right, so I am not exaggerating in
anybody else. That's name for the flat Iron building, which
was supposed to be an uptown version of Wall Street
and is named such because it looks like a flat iron.

(10:52):
I lived there, and Clay, the day after Trump's victory,
there were angry, aggressive marks is constantly going on in
my neighborhood. They were all channing not my president. There
were some Antifa elements among them, and I mean really
lunatic stuff. And it was it was the same feeling
on the street after Hurricane Sandy. And I'm not exaggerating.

Speaker 1 (11:14):
There was the same shock in people's faces and oh
my gosh, what has just happened. But to your point,
there was a we're gonna get him. We're gonna we're
gonna stop everything he's gonna try to do. We're gonna,
you know, they're gonna throw him in prison. As we know,
the whole Russia collusion thing. They had this whole sort
of blowback, strike back plan. It's crickets out there right now, man.

(11:40):
And I got people at my gym and look, Miami.
I'm not saying it's because I moved here, but Miami
all of a sudden, very Trump friendly. I'm seeing Maga
hats in the gym. Yeah, Clay, you couldn't have paid
most people to wear a Maga hat in a New
York City gym for the last eight years, just because
it would cause a fight. You know. I know people say, oh,
you should do whatever you want. Yeah, but you want

(12:01):
to get into a fight in the gym, because you're
going to get into a fight in the gym. Totally
different feeling here on the street and in the gym. Yeah,
I saw you tweet about that too. And again I
think it's indicative of the major vibe shift that we've
seen again giving him credit. The New York Times had
a big article on Saturday, I believe it was over
the weekend that I was reading showing the massive moves

(12:22):
of Trump's support in so many different cities across America.
Whether it was Detroit, whether it was Philadelphia, whether Miami's
numbers were just crazy to see, but with a colored
graph basically showing the degree to which each city moved.
Atlanta was in there, La was in there. New York
City obviously, it's pretty staggering to just see the map

(12:44):
and see how massive all of the movement was. And
I think this is why Trump needs to act so quickly, Buck,
because we've talked about he's only got about eighteen months
and then you go into the midterms and the likelihood
as you lose seats in the Senate or the House
and you lose your bill. I think they have to
flood the zone and do everything immediately because there is

(13:06):
no real resistance set up, and I think eighteen months
too long. He's got to do basically everything within the
first six months that he wants to get done. You know,
you're a military history guy, klays so Am. I you
particularly specialize in the Civil War, I like some other periods, Renaissance,
Mediterranean Base and whatever. Neither here nor there at point

(13:29):
being Generally, when you take the worst losses is when
your side is in retreat. Yes, And if we extend
that to politics right now, is when maga. Right now
is when Trump and his team needs to prepare to
just take the steamroller and just go, just go, because

(13:49):
they don't have you know, the judge here or there,
and they're going to whine in some parts of the Senate,
in the House or whatever. But you've got to go
right now because this is when you can run up
the scoreboard. This is when the route happens. They don't
have a defense ready to go. That's a one hundred percent right. Yeah.
So I'm I'm a kind of enthusiastic going to this

(14:09):
Christmas season. Also enthusiastic about pure talk because when big
wireless companies want to pull this old switch aroo on,
you don't fall for it. Here's what the big wireless
companies do. They say, oh, get a free iPhone sixteen
and you're like, oh, I'm gonna get a good deal
on the iPhone sixteen. Yeah, but you see the contract.
They have you sign way too much money a month.
There are no fools. They know that they're going to
make more money off of you over the contract and

(14:32):
you're going to get less good customer service. So that's
why you need pure talk. They've got a better option
for you. Get a brand new iPhone which has everything
you need. That's the iPhone fourteen latest one plus unlimited
talk text, fifteen gigs of data monthly, and a mobile hotspot,
all for just fifty bucks a month. Plus. Clay, I
recently turned on my Pure Talk because I'm going overseas

(14:52):
for a little baby moon. So there's that, and they're
going to you to get away. Thank you. They've got
me covered for a little little jumped overseat. That's half
the price, by the way, fifty bucks a month, half
the price of the big guys for all that stuff.
Pure Talk gives you. Dial pound two five zero from
your phone and say Clay and Buck to make the
switch today. That's pound two five zero from your phone,

(15:14):
Say Clay and Buck. Pure Talk's my cell phone company,
as you know, and they make the switch easy. When
you dial pound two five zero say Clay and Buck,
you'll get an additional fifty percent off your first month.
Puretalk is America's wireless company.

Buck Sexton. Find them on the free iHeartRadio app or
wherever you get your podcasts.

Speaker 2 (15:40):
Welcome back in Clay Travis, Buck Sexton show it is
that time of year, holiday music.

Speaker 1 (15:47):
Season and holiday movie season.

Speaker 2 (15:53):
I still think, and we'll have some fun with this,
probably later in the week. I still think A Christmas
Story is the greatest Christmas movie, and I would put
Christmas Vacation I think in second place for ones that
I can watch all the time. Maybe on Thursday, the
last day we're hanging out together, we can have some

(16:16):
fun with Christmas movies. I'll be here with you Friday.
We got a special coming to you on Christmas Eve,
but I wanted to make sure that we did. I
don't think we mentioned this on the show yesterday. Buck
Kamala Harris says she's not done. She says that she
is gonna run again. She's putting out all the vibes
that she's gonna run in twenty twenty eight. And I

(16:37):
know many of you, myself included, are saying, please please
let her run again. Maybe she's gonna run for governor.
Now she would win governor. It seems like she would
basically clear out all the challengers and then that would
give her the platform to be able to run again.

Speaker 1 (16:52):
But this is.

Speaker 2 (16:53):
What we are not going to be hearing a lot
of come January. Thanks to Trump's big win. But this
was Kamala yesterday talking to the DNC. Listen to cut ten.

Speaker 4 (17:04):
Our spirit is not defeated. We are not defeated. Let's
be clear about that. We are strong. We are clear
about why we are in this. You're willing to put
in the hard work and that work must continue.

Speaker 1 (17:20):
Buck here Clay. But the spirit's pretty defeated, Let's be honest.
She sounds like the drum.

Speaker 2 (17:28):
Somebody made the analogy that Kamala Harris sounds like the
drunk chick waiting in line at the bathroom trying to
talk to another woman and tell her why she's so
much better than the boy she's with or whatever else.
And I can't every time she talks. Now, I think
she is the drunk chick at the bar trying to
have a conversation with someone while you're on the way
to the bathroom. That is Kamala Harris. And I hope

(17:49):
she stays in the political arena because she's a disaster.
I can't imagine her winning anything outside the state of California.
I really can't.

Speaker 1 (17:58):
So some of you were critiquing my form this past
week and out of the gun range, but nonetheless I
was dead eye. You could see it. I got the
video proof. I'm not trying to brag. I'm just saying
the shooting's getting really good, and you're wondering what the
secret is. Well, it's getting out there and shooting, but
it's using the Mantis X system before to get you
dialed in. Great gift for the holiday season, something fun,

(18:21):
something that people don't just sort of think about. It's
not another you know, beige sweater. The Mantis X system.
You improve your shooting within about twenty thirty minutes of
using it. Ninety percent of people do, and people in
the armed forces use it. I mean, this is the
best dry fire training system on the market, all electronic,
no ammo, So easy to use, and it's fun and
your shooting gets better. So impress all your friends the

(18:44):
next time you get to the range. Get yourself a
mantis X system. M a n tis x dot com.
That's mantisx dot Com.

Speaker 5 (18:52):
I think Pete heik Seth is making tremendous strides over
the last week. He's going to be good. Look, he
went to Princeton, he went to Harvard. He was a
great student there. But the first day I met him,
all he wanted to talk about was military. It's just
a military guy. I think it's a natural. This was
my idea. And you know, Pete Hegsath gave up a
lot because he was going big places in fun and
he didn't even hesitate When I said, do you want

(19:14):
to do this? He said absolutely. I said, you know,
if it doesn't work out, you'll never have the opportunity
that you have right now in terms of the world
of entertainment to a business, whatever you want to call it.
You'll never have that opportunity again. In fact, it could
be just the opposite because it's nasty out there. He said,
I don't care. I have to do it for my country.
He gave up a tremendous amount of this didn't work,

(19:35):
it would be a tragedy.

Speaker 1 (19:37):
Donald Trump all in on getting Pete Heggsath through a
Secretary of Defense, and there's been a lot more quiet
out there in the fake news world about not just
Pete but also other nominees. I think their effort to
shove some of them under the bus has failed, and
they know it now. They're going to redouble that effort

(19:59):
once it comes to actual confirmation time. But that's gonna
be a lot harder because they because remember it's one
thing for senators to kind of chat and say, well
maybe or maybe you should step aside when it comes
to vote time. A lot of a lot of the
senator Republican senators I'm talking about, of course Clay, who
may be a little weak on some of this stuff.

(20:21):
I think they recognize they don't want to go on
the record as blocking a Trump nominee. It's very rare
actually for a nominee to not get through, and if
they were part of that, it's a bad look if
you want to stay in the United States senator as
a Republican.

Speaker 2 (20:35):
Not only that, it's a next man up mentality in
terms of Democrats trying to knock somebody down. It's not
as if they say, Okay, we got Matt Gates, we
got Pete hag Set, everybody else is fine. Once they
knock a couple of down, they feel blood in the water,
they smell it, they sense it. They're going to go
to the next guy or the next gal. And what's

(20:57):
interesting to me, Buck is I believe RFK Junior has
started his rounds to go meet the senators and kind
of be a part of the advice and consent process,
and it feels like they're recognizing that heg Seth is
in a really good spot. We didn't mention this, I
don't think yesterday, but Trump was at the Army Navy game.

(21:18):
Congratulations to Navy forgetting that win. But I think it
was an important message. Biden never went it's the Commander
in Chief trophy. Trump is obviously a big sports fan,
but he had JD. Vance, he had Pete Hagseth with him,
he had Daniel Penny, which was Vivek Ramaswami, Tulci gabberd

(21:39):
Elon Musk in his suite. And I think a lot
of people have recognized now, oh, the gig is up
on Pete Hagseth, and now they're going to try to
shift and put all their fire on RFK Junior, because
I think he would be the next target if Hegseth
went down. And I feel like heg Seth has weathered
the storm, and now they're going to try to put

(22:00):
their attention shift it to RFK Junior.

Speaker 1 (22:04):
Former Republican, which tells you so much. Charlie Sykes over
on MSNBC, which is still technically a cable news channel technically,
I don't know. I don't know at what point if
you can't be measured by the Nielsen ratings anymore, you
kind of lose your status. It's it's more of like
an NGO run by you know, part is an NNGO

(22:26):
run by NBC at this point. But MSNBC's Charlie Sykes
going after RFK on this one, Clay because they all
that's he's the next in line that they want to
take down. This is cut fourteen. Listen to it.

Speaker 6 (22:38):
The hearings are going to be extraordinarily interesting, and I'm
very curious to know how aggressive the public health lobby
is in public health community is going to be in
talking about the threats that the many of rfk's ideas
would have, what it would mean for children's health, what
it would mean for our ability to handle the next pandemic,

(23:01):
because many of his ideas maybe popular on certain podcasts,
but they are way way way outside of the mainstream,
and most Americans have no idea of some of the
things that he has said and some of the things
that he has done and the consequences of his of
his ideas.

Speaker 1 (23:18):
Okay, so I know we're all, you know, all of
us are estrogen levels arising just from hearing this guy talk.
But I would I would add this play this is
behind all of this, not just the Trump picks for
the cabinet and these chief these top positions. But I
think the attitude now about this, Look at what the
public health establishment did before? How much worse can these

(23:40):
fraudulent partisan liars be? What? What are we gonna have.
We're gonna have doctor Fauci lead the cross examination. We're
gonna have that that scoundrel doctor Burks be the one. Remember,
the one is like, don't go near your family. I'm
gonna go near my family. Though, these giant frauds who
run the public health establishment, and so many of these
states officials that run public health who honestly look like

(24:02):
they just live in a vat of melted cheese all
the time. Like this is who we're gonna take advice from.
I'm sorry, how much worse can it get?

Speaker 2 (24:11):
What about working in media your whole career and having
no fans?

Speaker 1 (24:15):
I mean you just took this in a totally different direction. Okay, yeah, sure,
but no, I mean.

Speaker 2 (24:21):
Like that guy we're talking a lot about the collapse,
he just wants to dunk on Charlie Sykes. Well, I don't,
I mean, Charlie Sykes whatever. I see this a lot,
and there is an entire cadre of people that are
paid for their opinion, and they have worked in media

(24:42):
for decades and no one cares about them at all,
or is it any way interested in their opinions. And
this guy, Charlie Sykes, I think would be a good example.
Why is he on TV? I mean, I mean, there
are a lot.

Speaker 1 (24:58):
Of I can tell you he was. He was a
former Republican radio host and had a following and I
think it was Wisconsin actually, but then he became never Trump,
and then he became a Democrat, and now he's become
effectively an effeminate communist, and now he goes on MSNBC.
I have no idea who that guy is, so I'm

(25:18):
not trying to particularly pick on him, but it is
a function of the legacy media's collapse. Imagine Buck that
you are Anderson Cooper, or you are Joy Reid, or
you are Don Lemon. One of the reasons why I
think their attacks are becoming so vociferous in nature and
so intense, is they're realizing that they're on sinking ships

(25:42):
and that there is no lifeboat. Nobody's going to pay
Joy read for her opinion if she's not employed by MSNBC.
Anderson Cooper think about this book. Anderson Cooper has been
given an opportunity to talk to the American public on CNN.
They have paid him probably over one hundred million dollars
in Oh, absolutely, he's a teacher. Was a twenty million

(26:03):
dollars a year man for a while, I believe. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (26:06):
So clearly over one hundred million dollars. Nobody cares about
his opinions. And I think what you're recognizing is these
people who have have sold their souls to get on
and be basically passengers on MSNBC's boat, or on CNN's boat,
or like this that Charlie Sykes guy. All of the

(26:26):
legacy media is going down. They are the ships have
taken on water, they've hit their icebergs, and there is
no way for these people to make a living. And
so that's why they're attacking. Like his argument of oh,
this might be popular on podcast, well, the podcasts that
it's popular on are way more popular than any of
the programs that MSNBC airs. I give credit to Van Jones.

(26:50):
He talked about this recently. He was like, Hey, nobody
really watches CNN, and a lot of people are watching
some of these other programs that Trump went on, whether
it's this one, whether it's Joe. I mean, there are
big audiences out there that are not quote unquote legacy media.
And I even saw combo as people say, yeah, we
don't really get much of a benefit of talking to
the New York Times of the Washington Boast anymore because

(27:12):
all those people are already voting for us. So I
still want to trash the public health officials at some
point if we could return to that.

Speaker 1 (27:19):
But first I will agree with you on this because
you're right. And beyond that, I'm always reminded of this chart.
Maybe we could find it somewhere. It was very famous
years ago of CDs and MP threes, and what it
showed is people think of technology as oh, a new

(27:39):
technology comes along and then the old one is gone.
Well no, actually there were cars in the First World War,
but they used a lot of horses to draw a
lot of artillery, and there were even there were cavalry
regiments and you know these things. There's sort of an
adoption curve that happens. Yeah, CDs and MP threes. I
think it was around you see the curve happening more

(28:01):
and more MP three CD's going down, and then in
around two thousand and six CDs just crater gone. Right.
But for years, you know you and I'm downloading to
our member the shuffle, the iPad, shuffle, iPod show you
what you know, we're MP three players. My point is
digital and all these other options out there have been
around for a while. But what we are watching is

(28:24):
the the Democrat corporate journal media in freefall.

Speaker 5 (28:31):
Right.

Speaker 1 (28:31):
It's been declining, but it has hit a point of
freefall now under Trump. And that is where some of
this panic is coming from, because they're so used to, oh,
what is the last thing to do? Just trash Trump
and you'll get enough ratings to sustain this. That doesn't
work right now, so what will work?

Speaker 2 (28:48):
Yeah, And I think that's part of the reason I
would just tell everybody to pay attention to it, because
the panic is getting more frenzied, and it is the
ship is going down, and the people that are on
this commentariat are suddenly recognizing that their jobs don't exist anymore,
and that they built no audience for themselves. Look, there

(29:10):
are a lot of people out there. Tucker is a
good example. Fox News decides, hey, Tucker's not going to
be on with us anymore. Tucker's got a huge audience
that followed him. Megan Kelly, I mean, everybody's like, oh,
Megan Kelly's career is over when she left NBC and
they decided that they were going to like sort of
toss her aside. She's more relevant now than she ever

(29:31):
would have been at NBC because she has developed and
built an audience that cares about her and will follow
her wherever she goes. It's portable in some sense. And
none of these people, it seems to me Buck at
MSNBC by and large, or CNN have that audience. And
I think that's where they're starting to get resentful. It
was just when he attacks the podcast and says, oh,

(29:54):
RFK Junior might be popular on these things, it's actually
way more representative of the larger audience that RFK Junior
is popular there than it would be if Rachel Maddow
loved him. And I think that realization, even if they
won't acknowledge it, is slowly.

Speaker 1 (30:10):
Kind of syncing in.

Speaker 2 (30:12):
I'm gonna have a pick for you Buck Thursday, as
you head off on the Christmas vacation. I'm gonna give

I need all of you to download. I need to
know Gerald Pickles, did I tell you? I think I
mentioned this on the air, that that a couple of
weeks after your Pickles mistake, that there was a guy

(30:36):
named J. D. Pickles playing quarterback in a college football
game I was watching.

Speaker 1 (30:41):
I say it to everybody, always bet on Pickles. Pickles.

Speaker 2 (30:45):
Actually, your boy Pickles, which is Pickins, has had a
hamstring injury lately. For our Pinnow Steeler fans out there,
he hasn't been able to play. You might have jinxed him,
and they desperately need him because he stretches the defense
in the field. But if you want to be a

Speaker 2 (32:08):
Welcome back in Clay Travis Buck Sexton show, Fuck You
Blew My Mind? This morning, I'm doing my show prep
and I look down on my phone scrolling through, and
your lovely wife Carrie had never seen the movie Die Hard,
and I I just I this is a thing that

(32:32):
is actually really common, I think with younger women. I
think most men, of most agents, you agree, like most
men have seen die Hard. Even if you're twenty five
and you're listening to us right now and you're a guy,
you've seen die Hard.

Speaker 1 (32:48):
But this, I think it is hard to even identify
as a guy if you haven't seen die Hard. Let's
be honest.

Speaker 2 (32:53):
But I agree with that, And this happened to me
is the first time I felt old. About a day
decade ago. I was in La. Fox Sports is actually
at the intersection of Pico and Motor for those of
you listening in La or have spent time out in
West La and the Nakatomy tower building that they used

(33:14):
as the as the sort of the outdoor vision of
the movie.

Speaker 1 (33:19):
The setting.

Speaker 2 (33:20):
It's right by the Fox A lot, and we were
driving by and a lot of production assistants on television
are young, and they were in the car. There's like
two or three girls and two or three guys. The
girls had never heard of the movie, had never seen
the movie die Hard, and so when we the guys
were all in the car talking about, Hey, that's that's knokotomy.

Speaker 3 (33:41):
Tower.

Speaker 2 (33:42):
They had no earthly idea, And now I hear Carrie hasn't.
And I think this is a trend out there. I
think there are lots of girls twenties, thirties, youngish that
have never seen this movie.

Speaker 1 (33:51):
So you have got a plan now, I think, Well,
she said, she has seen parts of it. But I
have been in an endless loose over here as we're
you know, prepping the home with the trigue and the
and the little reeds and the stockings and all this
stuff of as I said, these Hallmark Christmas movies, which
we had some fun talking about yesterday, and all of you,

(34:12):
by the way, who knew what we're talking about, know
that we're nailing it. I mean that's it's always the
same plot. The whole thing is like very it's very formulae.
But that's fun fun for people. I'm not talking about
the classics. I'm talking about the Hallmark, these Hallmark Christmas movies.
So I just said to us, said, honey, you know
we're gonna be you know, Friday night, We're just gonna
be hanging out, you and me. So why don't we

(34:33):
and Ginger, why don't we watch die Hard? She says?
She has seen parts of it, but I was I
had to tell her right away that is not the
answer to have I've seen have you or have you
not seen? Die Hard? Needs to be yes, it can't
be I've seen parts of it. So I think we're
gonna be hanging with John McClain barefoot running around Nakotomi
Tower with his little his little HK and it's gonna

(34:56):
be great.

Speaker 2 (34:56):
How many movies are better than die Hall from a
adventure perspective.

Speaker 1 (35:06):
Case that Diehard is the greatest action movie of all time.
I'm not saying this definitively. I'm saying it is a contender.
You could argue greatest action movie of all time.

Speaker 2 (35:17):
I think you have to say are rated, because obviously
then the Indiana Jones movies are action like can kind
of get right?

Speaker 1 (35:24):
Then? See those remember the old movie rental places? Those
would go under action slash adventure. I remember that. I
remember that back in the day, Back in the day.

Speaker 2 (35:33):
When you would go and you'd be like, oh, the
new releases are out, and then all the new releases
would be gone, and you would you know, I'd tell
my boys about that the other day. I said, you know,
like we were sitting around deciding on a movie to watch,
and they basically we have access, which is kind of amazing,
right to basically every movie that's ever existed. When you

(35:54):
sit down in front of your television now and you
can choose to watch whatever you want. And I say,
you know, when I was a kid, we would go
out to the movies and you'd walk into Blockbuster Video
and inevitably the twenty most popular movies were gone on
Friday and Saturday, right, and you might go to the
returns and see if somebody had just returned one that

(36:16):
you wanted. That was the prora going to the returns. Yeah,
veteran move. I want to hear Carrie's review of die
Hard twenty. What's been like thirty years since Diehard came out?
Almost right, I want to hear what her reaction is
holds up perfectly.

Speaker 1 (36:31):
In my opinion, there's nothing about Diehard that has aged poorly.
In fact, if anything it is, it is even better.
I would even go so far as to say, despite you,
Professor Snape, Harry Potter, people, it is Alan Rickman rest
in peace.

Speaker 2 (36:44):
It is his finest workplay. I would actually sign on
to that. I think Diehard is the best R rated
movie ever,
