Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome to today's edition of the Clay Travis and Buck
Sexton Show podcast. Welcome in final hour of the week.
We appreciate all of you hanging out with us Clay
Travis Buck Sexton Show as we roll into the weekend.
We are joined now by Glenn Beck, who a lot
of you listened to before this show begins all over
many affiliate stations in this country. Glenn's got a brand
(00:23):
new book out, The Great Reset. Appreciate him joining us.
And right off the top, Glenn, how are you feeling.
I got COVID here this week as well. I understand
that you did also. Yeah, I'm fine. I mean, it's
a pain in the neck, but I had it the
first time before there was any vaccine or anything, and
that wiped me out for about three weeks. You know,
I've been broadcasting with it and everything. It's in my
(00:46):
lungs a bit for a cough, but it's like a
It was for two days a bad cold, and now
it's just kind of lingers. I think this is some
of the best news that we've had. This looks like
it's now starting to repeat the pattern from the nineteen
eighteen in Fluenzo. The first year was bad. Second year
(01:07):
was worse. By the third year. It started just to
go from a pandemic to an endemic. And everybody is
getting it. I mean, this whole idea of passports and
now quarantining. Now is the time everyone is going to
get it, no matter what you do. I mean, the
scientists at the base in Antarctica have it. How did
(01:30):
they get it? You know, this is the best thing
it can happen. The death rates down ninety one percent,
and it will will only get stronger from here. The
pandemic is just a few weeks away from being over.
Glennet's buck always get to talk to you, sir. I
want to ask you if you could just put this
in a context for us. You've got this book out
(01:50):
this week, The Great Reset. I think people have heard
the term. It gets thrown around, but what is that
as you write about it, but also is everybody listening
across the country needs to understand it. What does that mean?
I mean, it's a term that the other side has
actually used, but you mean something quite differently by it. No, actually,
I mean exactly what they mean. I'm sorry you put
(02:11):
into context what they're trying to accomplish with it. Pardon me,
go ahead. Yes, this is the this book, Buck, I
think is the most important book out there. And I
say that only because it's the only one of its kind.
If somebody else else can write something better, I will
happily promote that. But it's the only one of its
(02:31):
kind in the West. And this isn't a direct assault
on the West. The Western way of life's Western values,
our capitalist system, the free market. Freedom at every single
level is at stake. And when you understand what we've
put together in this book, we've taken it from their
(02:54):
own words. There's fifty pages of fine print footnotes. There's
no speculation. It is what they are doing and passing
in laws and everything else all over the world. It
is the rosetta stone for the news when you're watching
things like the vaccine passports, when you're looking for why
(03:17):
that they are finding businesses? Why does home depot? Why
are they allowed to be open but your local true
hardware store can't. Why can I go into a restaurant
take off my mask if I'm seated and eat without
a mask. But if I'm in an airplane, which has
much better filtering system, I'm sitting down and I'm eating
and I have to have the mask on in between bites.
(03:39):
Everything is about control and when you see the when
you see what's happening to us financially, this is the
next big step. COVID and global warming are there big
pushes for this, but the financial system is coming under
(04:00):
attack and it is very fragile. And the things that
they're doing with banking explains exactly why Nike would take
half of their audience and just throw it away. Why
Coca Cola would be saying we got to train people
to be less white. Why would these companies do that.
(04:21):
It doesn't make any sense unless you understand what's really
happening with the Great Reset. Glenn, we started off the
show today and I bet you did as well, talking
about what a disaster of a week it has been
for Joe Biden. Where do we go? If you are
And I even said, hey, if you were paying me
to try to defend the Joe Biden administration, right now,
(04:44):
I can barely even think of an argument to make.
Where do we go now? For the Biden administration in
twenty twenty two as we head towards what I think
most people would anticipate at this point in time is
going to be a red tied, overwhelming wave that is
going to sweep across the country come November. What do
(05:06):
they do to try to stop that? Can they do anything?
So a really good question, and this again goes into
the great reset. This is by government fiat. This is
not This is a run around all constitutional laws. That's
why you see what they're doing. You know, when the
(05:26):
Supreme Court said no, you can't have vaccine mandates, what
did he do? He pressured the businesses to do it anyway. Yeah,
when they when they say things online that he doesn't like.
This week he came out and said, I urge these
the companies to stop these podcasts. This is a this
(05:48):
is an end run and there's something really important that people. Really,
when you get this piece, you will understand that you
Washington is going to become very irrelevant soon. It's called ESG.
They're ESG scores. I don't know if you've heard of
them yet, but they are going to make every bit
(06:11):
of difference in your life in the next year. It's
a Environmental, Social Justice and Governance score. Now we saw
the beginnings of this with gun control. Remember they said,
you know what we can't you might not be able
to get insurance, and so you're gonna have to pay
you extra for insurance. And these banks, I don't know,
(06:33):
we don't want to do business with companies that are
selling guns. That's just the beginning of it. This score
is an arbitrary score set by the banks and the
elites and people like Black Rock along with the government,
and it really is going to turn into pay for
play and it will be first on the scores. Like
(06:55):
Coca Cola, they're already doing this in Europe. Coca Cola
has who justify their business to the banking community and
to the other regulators that are really not part of
the government. It's just the financial community, and they have
to justify that they're being good stewards of the environment,
(07:15):
that they are promoting social justice, that they have enough women,
enough blacks, enough Hispanics on their board, and beyond this,
if you don't, for instance, because global warming is the
number one thing that the Great Reset is about, it'll
be the heaviest hammer. The FED just announced this week
(07:38):
that they're going to start doing stress tests climate stress
tests on all of the banks. What that means is,
are you, as a bank loaning money to somebody who
does fracking, somebody who is in natural gas, somebody that
is drilling for oil or building a refinery. If you
do that, because of the Great Reset, they are phasing
(08:03):
out fossil fuels and that will put an undue stress
on your bottom line. So if you continue to make
those loans, then the Federal Reserve says, this is a
sketchy bank. We don't know how solid it is. So
everybody is being forced to get out of whatever the
government says through their little cabal, not through Congress. Whatever
(08:28):
they decide they want to do extra constitutional, they just
do it. Now, when you're a big company, let's say
you don't do anything with oil or gas, but you
make a widget that the fracking people use, well, now
you're going to get a lower ESG score as well,
(08:49):
and the bank may not give you a loan until
you stop selling those widgets to the oil company. So
this goes all the way down to the individual investor.
If you go to your Marrill Lynch fund or Charles
Schwab fund, I can guarantee you you're going to find
ESG and they have already started putting those on your
(09:11):
personal portfolio. So whatever it is you buy in your stock,
your four oh one k, you know, your retirement fund.
It now has an ESG score. If you have a
low ESG score, banks won't want to do business with
you because you're a risk. It's it's absolutely insidious and
(09:34):
it is. It is the reason why businesses are doing
what they're doing. It goes all the way to why
they are targeting parents at schools because that's part of
the agenda. This is an entire revamping of the entire system.
Nobody's talking about it. We're speaking of Glenback the book
this week that's out, The Great Reset, Joe Biden and
(09:57):
the Rise of twenty first Century Fascism one Glenn. One
more for you. As people are hearing this, that might
be thinking, okay, well, how are we doing in the
counterattack if you will, and what can we do? What
can people do listening to this so to push back.
Here's the biggest thing, and common sense will tell you this.
First of all, you have to educate yourself. You can't
(10:19):
defeat Nazis if you don't know what Nazis are. You
can't feat defeat Islamic extremism if you don't know the
difference between Islamicism and an Islamicist. You have to know
and the learning curve has to be almost straight up.
With America, we are way behind the eight ball. And
the other thing that is really common sense after education,
(10:41):
spreading it to others. But also do not buy into
the idea that this is too big of a problem
and you can't fix it. It is going to be
fixed by locals. It is by doing supporting your local business.
It is by supporting your local school board, getting onto
(11:02):
your zoning committee. You will be amazed in small towns
all across the country how much is already zoned. And
it's all part of this global agenda. It is phenomenal
when they talk about and it's in the book of
owning all federal government owning thirty percent of not only
the land, but all water in the United States by
(11:26):
twenty thirty, by twenty fifty, owning fifty percent. This is
a massive plan that will dramatically change human existence. This
is the anti American revolution, and it will take individuals
to stop it. It will take you working in your
(11:46):
local community. One of the things you can do, stop
doing business with these big, huge fed banks. Get your
money into a local owned and operated bank. One that's
take your loans and your deposits, and they're using it
in your own hometown. We have to be locally focused
(12:08):
everything in our society right now. Everything they're trying to
do is to make you feel alone, make you feel small,
make you feel like nobody can speak out. They are terrified,
terrified of the individual, and we keep dismissing ourselves. Don't
you have all the power and are the only way
it's going to stop. It's not going to stop because
(12:30):
of Washington. The book is the great reset. The author
Glenn Beck, Glenn, our friend. Thank you so much for
being with us in your work on this. We'll talk
to you soon. I have to tell you you have
the you had the hardest transition in radio. I've been
in radio for forty five years. I have never seen
anyone that had a harder uphill battle to do than
(12:51):
to replace Rush Limbaugh. And I am so proud of
both of you. You're doing such a great job. Congratulations
from you. Thanks. Think of the number of times, very
nice to say. Think of a number of times and
the number of websites and apps you bought products or
services from dozens hundreds. Every time you're online setting up
(13:12):
an account or making a purchase, you're putting your personal
information into some database. Most of the time that's okay,
but occasionally those databases are stolen by an online computer hacker,
a cyber thief. It's not personal, it's not like that
cyber thief has you specifically in his or her sights.
But when they get a hold of your data, they're
quick to tap into your credit card account and make
as many purchases or open as many accounts as possible.
(13:35):
You'll never know what happened. Eventually, you find out when
the bill shows up. But it's important to understand how
cybercrime and identity theft are affecting your life. Good thing
there's LifeLock. LifeLock helps detect a wide range of online
identity thefts, like your credit card info being in the
wrong hands. If you become a victim of identity theft
and you're a LifeLock member, you'll have help from a
knowledgeable restoration specialist to help you clean up the problem.
(13:58):
How do they do it? Buck, Look, no one can
prevent all identity thefter monitor all transactions at all businesses,
but you can help protect what's yours with LifeLock by
Norton I haven't. I've been a LifeLock customer for years.
I've been getting the alerts. Hey is this right? This
is in your credit now, this was just added. This
is a credit card that's been taken out in your name.
You need to have this service. You could join now
(14:19):
and save twenty five percent off your first year by
using promo code buck. Call one eight hundred LifeLock that's
one eight hundred LifeLock or headed LifeLock dot com. Use
that promo code buck for twenty five percent off. You
know what really happened to an entitled international sports star.
(14:42):
Somebody is saying no, at least for the time being,
and at least until he finds another judge. He found one,
but now that it's really sketchy that he might get
this worked out before he is supposed to play his
first ground match. Willie I tweeted out last night. If
this guy had any respect for a tournament he's won
(15:04):
nine times, and he had any grace, he would go
to the airport and go home because he's making a
mockery of his favorite major tennis tournament. That's some really
bad sports analysis or some guy I've never heard of
named Mike Lupeka will get some good sports analysis here
from her buddy Clay in a second Welcome back to
Clay and Buck show. That was over Novak Djokovic one
(15:26):
of the sports I know a lot more about tennis
than I do about pretty much any other sport, and
Djokovic is one of the greatest players of all time.
He's obviously in some hot water with the Australian authorities
right now because of some issues with his visa because
he's on vaxed and all the rest of it. First
of all, Clay, that guy, I've never heard him before, Lupica, Lupica,
(15:47):
he sounds yeah. I mean, was he giving that little
rant through three masks to make sure that he was
taking the virus? Seriously? I mean, sometimes when you hear
the other people who made livings writing about sports, it
doesn't seem so impressive that I made a lot of
money writing and talking about sports because I'm not necessarily
competing with the absolute apex predators of competition out there. Right,
(16:10):
But this is such a bad take. Right Australia has
a monster omicron issues a million cost of the world
does a million cases a day. I think right now
is where they are through the roof. They tried to
play the COVID zero game. They've done the vaccine gambit,
and it has not panned out for them, And so
I believe what's really happened is Novak Yokovic has become
(16:33):
a convenient foil, a way to distract the rest of
Australia from the fact that the vaccines are not stopping
the spress. Sorry, a million omicron overall, I think is
what they've liked, one hundred and forty seven thousand new
cases in Australia, hundred forty as want to get the
numbers right, which if you extrapolate what the population of
(16:54):
Australia is like thirty million, that's right, So it would
be like a million a day here. Yes, So so
what they're trying to do clearly the with Jokovic, as
you just mentioned, as they are dealing with a monster
surge of omicron there. And remember this is a place
that walcked itself down and basically said we're not going
to allow COVID to exist here. What they are recognizing
(17:17):
is that is never going to be a viable position.
And so right now, I believe politicians are trying to
distract from the larger issue by going after Yokovich. This
could also, by the way, we don't know he's got
another appeal in to see whether or not he's gonna
be able to play. I think the tournament starts in
like two or three days. Could also be an issue
for the United States because there are requirements when you're
(17:39):
coming in from a foreign country that you have certain
paperwork that you filled out as it pertains to COVID,
and that could be a factor for some of our
tournaments as well. This is crazy. He's already there, He's
already in the country. He's already been training in the country. Buck,
what are you actually losing by allowing him to participate
(18:02):
at this point when he's already there. Start your day
with coffee that it might be new to some of you,
but I've been drinking it for years and Clay loves
it too, Black Rifle coffee. This is the best taste
in coffee you're gonna have. I'm telling you, it's fantastic.
And it's a big entrepreneur success story for veterans of
the special operations community who started this company over at
(18:22):
seven years ago. All Right, this is an amazing company
that'll send coffee right to your door. Black Rifles high
quality beans are imported from all over the world. They're
roasted here in facilities in the US. They support veteran causes,
they employ a lot of veterans, and it's so easy
to get this coffee sent right to you. The best
way to do it is to join the Black Rifle
(18:43):
Coffee Club. You'll get special discounts. Sign up today, purchase

(19:07):
Clay Travis, Buck Sexton show rolling through the final half
hour of the program. Appreciate all of you. Encourage you
to go download the podcast and search out my name,
Clay Travishing, search out Buck Sexton's name. You can also
go give us five stars. You can leave a funny
podcast review and if we see it, and by we
I mean our boy Dub who is actually reviewing all these,
(19:28):
we'll read some of them on the show, maybe as
soon as next week, So go get those podcast reviews
and appreciate all of you for doing so. We bring
in now the chair of the RNC, RONA McDaniel, and
she is here as you guys have created. Thank you
for spending time with us here on Friday, a bit
of a tempest in the Washington, DC weather. I want
(19:51):
to play for you here what Jensaki said yesterday. I'm
sure you heard it, but if our audience didn't, about
presidential can and it's not participating in debate sponsored by
this group. The president has participated in many debates over
the course of his career and believes they play a
(20:11):
role in allowing the American people to hear from candidates
and where they stand. So I think it's more question
best post to the RNC on what they're so afraid of?
So she asked a question, what are you guys afraid of?
Thanks for coming on with us. How would you respond
to Jensaki? Yeah, I think the question more should go
back to her, what are you afraid of? Because of
(20:31):
course you love presidential debate committee that picked a moderator
who worked for you, worked for Joe Biden. They started
debates after twenty six states and started absentee voting, and
they moved the second debate to virtual because you know,
Joe couldn't leave the basement. So of course they love
that commission. I would say to them, why are you
so afraid to negotiate with the networks directly? Why do
(20:55):
you need a middleman to do your dirty work for you?
And that's what the RNC is saying. We're sick of
working with a bias committee. The things that we've asked
them to guarantee that they wouldn't do for twenty twenty four,
like not picking a moderator that worked for the Democrat,
starting debates before twenty six states had started voting, and
not having their committee members trash the Republican nominee. I
(21:18):
think our pretty common sense. They told us we're not
going to guarantee those things, and so now we're going
to look for a fair forum for debate for our candidate,
Ronald's buck. And this is music to my years. I've
got to tell you, I've watched the debates increasingly in
recent years with frustration. It's so obvious. I mean, just
off the top of one's head, you can think about
someone of the likes of John Harwood involved. It was
(21:40):
just a clear Democrat partisan in a presidential debate. What
happened with Candy Crowley at CNN when Mitt Romney and
Barack Obama were debating the issue of Benghazi. I mean,
there's so many key moments that even come up, never
mind the overall tilt toward the left and toward the
Democrats of this. So what can be done now? Assuming
(22:01):
that you are running the RNC, so you're the person
we need to talk to you about this. There's an
understanding that these debates are biased and unfair in favor
of Democrats because they control ninety five percent of the
journalism and quote unquote journalism and media in the country.
What does a more fair forum look like? How can
we get to a place where we don't have a
(22:21):
Democrat hack taking cheap shots at the would be next
Republican president of the United States on a debate stage.
Totally back, and I think a big part of it
is getting rid of a commission that's bias. And part
of their plan is, oh, we negotiate with the nominee,
and we negotiate with the nominee. Well, the Republican nominee
won't be in place until July or August of twenty
(22:42):
twenty four. By then they've contracted the venues, they've picked them,
not moderators. It's too late. So the RNC is interveeting
now before we pass our rules for twenty four and
we are putting them on notice, and we are saying
our candidates cannot seek our nomination unless they agree to
not work with the CPD, which is going to open
the door for less bias or non biased neutral arbiters
(23:05):
to come forward, for us to negotiate directly with networks,
or to find forums that will conduct a fair debate
for the American people, conduct debates before twenty six states
start voting, agree to not pick moderators that worked for
either candidate. Really simple things that we're asking for. This
is a rule change we're going to propose at our
winner meeting and it will pass at a later meeting. Rona.
(23:28):
I know people are super excited about the midterms coming
up in November, but there are also a ton of
our listeners that are even more excited about the idea
of a twenty twenty four presidential campaign. When will the
first debates begin for the Republican presidential candidates? Because those
were wildly entertaining in the run up if you remember
(23:49):
certainly as you well do in sixteen with so many
different candidates on the stage. We'll see how that looks
in twenty four. And do you anticipate still Iowa as
the official shoal launching point for the Republican race for
whoever's going to get the primary. Yeah, So all of
this is starting right now with the Republican Republican National Committee.
(24:10):
So we're going to have our winner meeting where the
Presidential Nominating Committee and the Debate Committee will put their
suggestions forward and then it'll be embedded in the rules.
I haven't seen a lot of movement from the members
saying they want to move away from the traditional Iowa
and New Hampshire, so we'll see what they do. I
don't want to get ahead of their work, and on
the debates, I think they're going to have to start earlier.
(24:32):
If you're looking at the primaries and how that's stacking
up for twenty twenty four, they're going to be starting
earlier than ever. You could have some primaries back in
December of twenty three, so that means debates we'll have
to start earlier and earlier, so we'll be adjusting the
calendar accordingly. Is there anything that's going to stop this
from halv I just I don't know. This all sounds great, Rona,
(24:54):
and we're speaking Ron McDaniel ahead of the RNC. Is
this going to be implemented? I just I don't want
to get excited that we're not going to go into
Democrat ambushes in the presidential cycle and then all of
a sudden, you know, it's like a Da Lucy pull
in the football at the last second. So the only
way this can happen really right now is if the
RNC takes an affirmative stance. Because the CPD has had
(25:18):
a monopoly, there's been no competition in that space, and
all their bias always just towards the Republicans. So the
Debate Committee for the RNC voted unanimously to take this step.
But now we're going to take it to the full
one sixty eight. I've got work to do to make
sure the members agree to this rule change, but we've
had overwhelming support from grassroots and people who have understood
(25:40):
this process for so long, who bang their head and say,
why do Republicans let their candidate deal with this and
get into these debates with these bias moderators. And this
is the first time the RNC has stepped up and
said enough is enough. We're going to fight for our
seventy four million voters, and we're going to fight for
our future nominee and that starts right now. Ron. Thank you,
fantastic stuff. We'll look forward to the fight and also
(26:03):
we can't wait for that twenty twenty four race to start.
Thank you. Well, we're sad for twenty twenty two terms. First,
everybody stir on side in for twenty twenty two. We're
already looking ahead. Clay and I are mobilizing everybody. Thank you.
Lots of conversation this week about voting and voting access.
I know you guys value your own vote what it
stands for. Now, you also vote every single month with
(26:26):
the money you spend in the companies you choose to
spend it with. Consider your cell phone provider and the
bill you're paying each month. You're likely to be surprised
and disappointed to see how much of your money supports
the candidates and issues they donate to. Leftist politicians pushing
agendas that don't match up with your own. Now, there's
a solution. It's pure Talk. Get your cell phone service
(26:48):
from pure Talk. Instead, they use the exact same towers
accessing the exact same five G network as one of
those companies. And with pure talk you get peace of
mind that you're supporting a veteran run business with employee's
all here in the US. Buck, how do you get
hooked up from your cell phone right now? It's so easy.
Dial pound two five zero, that's pound two fifty and
(27:10):
just say the words pure talk. That's pure Talk. You'll
save an additional fifty percent off your first month. Again,
dial pound two five zero from your cell phone right
now and say pure talk. Roll it in to the
last lap here of the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton
(27:31):
Show before we send you all off to enjoy your weekends, rest,
recuper right, get ready for the fight ahead. By that,
I mean joining us of course, at noon Eastern on
Monday and every day after that. And we are hoping
to be a gathering place, if you will, that the
town square, the field of mustard for freedom, not to
be confused with mustard. Very easy to get those things.
The field of mustard, great condiment. However it is I've
(27:53):
become more of a mustard. Guys like it all. I
was just talking to Ali producer Ali before. I don't know,
I'm kind of dumb with ketchup. You know ketchup. I
feel like you're a kid. I put it on everything.
I think I overdid it on the ketchup now become
more of a as the French would say, mutild man.
So but so wait when you get when you get
French fries, you don't go with ketchup on them. I
mean I do occasionally steal from the communists and I
(28:15):
put mayonnaise on my French fries. Oh no, I know
so much legitimacy we had built up this week a sudden,
I'm just scooter riding mayonnaise your fries. I just I
don't know if people can trust you anymore. Yeah, and
I always I make I use my black rifle the morning,
(28:36):
you know, to ver coffee. But I also have a
milk froth and I feel like that like kick ass
coffee is like, don't don't froth your milk on me, buddy,
Like just drink it black. You know it probably should.
I'm a man up on some of that stuff. It's
it is delicious, though, it is delicious. It's been a
wild week by the way you talk about all the
news that happened. Also, just think like when I started
this week no COVID, and then I got COVID, and
(28:59):
now I'm finishing the week basically back to one hundred percent,
like in the space of a week. I can't even
tell right now in my voice, I feel like I'm
I actually feel more rested. I'm gonna watch a lot
of Peaky Blinders tonight. I'm gonna be able. I'm gonna
be able to stay up super late because I slept
so much more this week, like usually by Friday. I
know a lot of people out there to know this feeling.
(29:20):
You could buy the end you're dragging like you're trying
to get through the week. I feel like I'm just
you know, I I have like a second win because
I didn't I didn't do much this week because I
had the COVID. We're glad that you that you crushed
the omicron and made it cry out for mercy. Yeah,
as so many of our listeners have. I'd also say
I'm gonna be watching both now now. I'm now I'm
double tapping because I got I got Yellowstone to catch
(29:43):
up on. Ever, I know it's like they're all excited
that I'm now on the Yellowstone Trail. You joined the trail,
I've joined the U joined the ranch, so to speak. Yes,
I've got the brand Clay, I've got the brand now
the big why on my chest and uh and also
I've got a courtesy of of Missus trap Us getting
you know, be fired up about loving the She told
you that it's great. I'm like, oh, she's right. Cobra Kai,
(30:06):
I got Cobra Kai. I'm excited to hear your Peaky
Blinders review, though you gotta give it at least three
episodesons are there? There's like five or six. Oh. That's
one thing that makes me nervous is when you jump
in late on a show and you're like, there's sixty
episodes you have to watch, like that's gonna take a post.
It goes so fast, it's so good. I'm telling you're
gonna love it. And we said we take some calls,
so let's do some of that too. Steve in Oregon
(30:27):
has some thoughts for us. What's up, Steve, Yeah, thank
you gentlemen for having me on the show. It's a pleasure. UM,
I have a couple of things that I wanted to address.
I was pitching it to the call screener in twenty
twenty four, What do you guys think a bit about
a Candice Owens and Trump card. I mean she as
(30:51):
the vice president on the on the Donald Trump ticket.
I don't think Trump would go VP Claire. Yeah, yeah,
Kevin kidding, UM, I look would be an It would
be an intriguing move. I think. Let me just say this,
assuming that Trump is going to run in twenty twenty four,
and I think that he is the person that he
selects as his vice president will be maybe the most
(31:14):
significant vice presidential selection we have seen a Republican candidate
make in most of our lifetimes, because we've never been
in this situation where best case scenario you get four years,
so then you're definitely passing the baton, as opposed to
an eight year scenario where the VP gets it. In
eight years, you are deputizing even if you lose whoever
(31:36):
the vice president is as potentially the future of the party,
much like what Joe Biden was trying to do with Kamal.
I mean, but to your question, though, Steve Clay and
I think Candis is fantastic. She'd be formidable in any
number of roles. But you're gonna have a lot of
people that are also really formidable as possible VP candidates.
I mean who you know. I mean, you go down
the list right now. You're gonna have people that are
(31:57):
to say, you know, Mike Pompeo and and Rhonda Santis
and Scott Yeah, the whole. I mean, you know, there's
a whole. It's an interesting idea, Steve, to be sure,
an interesting idea. We appreciate your raising it to us,
and thank you for calling in. David in Raleigh, North Carolina.
He's got a Clay question, David, Hey, growing up my
(32:19):
man Clay? What does he what does he have to do? Now? Hey, guys,
Diig Fanny of both, thank you for all you do.
Um I doubled upon its tweet from Clay in twenty sixteen.
I want to get his thoughts on and uh, I
quote at least Georgia didn't fire Mark Rick for Kirby Park.
(32:41):
I say, the one thing I will say is I
am not a tweet delet and so there is a
long much like Donald Trump, there's probably a tweet for everything.
That is one of my dumber takes more first year,
in my defense, first year of Kirby Smart after he
took over from Mark Correct. And for people out there
who are not big sports fans, I'm getting called out
here because Georgia head coach Kirby Smart won the national
(33:05):
championship on Monday by beating Alabama. I believe he went
seven and six in his first year something like that,
and so that tweet was sent during that first year.
It looks very dumb. Now I didn't even know any
of that. So there we go, all right, David, So
he caught me, David, No, twenty sixteen. There's a lot
of things out there. You go back, you know, six years,
(33:26):
there's no telling what might come out, David. Thanks for
calling in keeping Clay honest on the sports talk. So
there we have it. Yeah, but there's no such things
really tweet deleting. Anyway, they got the way back was right.
They'll always go and find it. And in some ways,
if you're a tweet delet then it's almost like you're
trying to hide the evidence, you know what I mean,
You might you might as well just own it, you know,
you might as well own it. You know, yeah, and
people screenshot it. Like I always think, you know, if
(33:47):
somebody says something and then they delete it, but people
screenshot at it when you that's when it's current. Whenever
you delete something that you just tweeted, unless it's just
like clearly like there's you know, you mess spelling air
or something, yeah, spelling air, you're not really doing anything
because people just immediately grab it and then they're like, oh, look,
you're trying to pretend you didn't send it. Now, Curtis
in Vancouver, Washington, what do you got for us, Curtis,
(34:10):
But thank you for Buck Sexton for sharing just before
the Christmas break, you shared how you started off as
a young lad and you had a speech impediment, and
your teachers and your parents and other people were very
supportive and got you therapy and encouraged you, and you
finally wound up as the co host of the top
talk show in America. And that inspired me to share
(34:32):
about my favorite scientist, Michael Faraday, who when he first
entered the third grade, he introduced himself to the class as, hello,
my name is Michael Falladay, at which the whole class
last and the teacher to the older brother Robert aside
and said, here, there's a coin, give me a switch.
I'm going to beat Michael every time he misspeaks. And
his brother took him home to his mother, who said,
(34:54):
they're not going to treat my Michael that way, and
she got him a position with a bookbinder who was
also very simple seed, and Michael read every book that
he bound, and it led him on the path of
becoming one of the greatest scientists of all time. It's
a great story of induction and capacities. Had invented the
electric motor and the electric generator and all because the
(35:17):
reaction when he had a slightness speech impediment and sleared
his ours. Well, Curtis, thank you so much for that,
for the great story, and also for the for the
shout out. Yeah, I started out in life with an
articulation disorder, and in my specific case, there were a
lot of consonants that would be mixed up, and so
you can imagine first grade, second grade, Oh so a little,
(35:39):
I mean you remember it? Yeah? Oh yeah, no, I
remember because my parents. My name is James Buckman, but
everyone called me Buck and occasionally I would try to
introduce myself to my peers as my name is butt,
and that did not always go over so well. Even then,
the kids thought that was very funny, so you can
imagine you you developed quite a bit of humility in
(35:59):
life when as a young kid you're mispronouncing your own name.
But thanks to my parents and a few other very
helpful educators, here I am with mister Clay Travis. Someone
is actually the biggest radio show in America. So don't
give up on your kids. Folks, stay in their stay
with them. They'll get there. They'll get there. Yeah, it's
all kinds of stuff. It's not just the left finish
(36:20):
shows over here. Buddy. Well that's a lot better of
a story than you telling us all hell was gonna
break loose and in Ukraine, which is how we finished
the second out the deck on Ukraine. It's gonna be rough,
but we got other things that we're talking about two
next week. Clayon, I honestly have so much fun doing
this show and appreciate so much every single one of
you who listened all across the country. If you think
what we're doing here is worthwhile and cool, tell somebody
(36:41):
the best thing you can do is actually share the
Clay and Buck Podcast, because that's the thing. You can
text or email on the iHeart app if you all
got one person, one person new to listen to the
show of the weekend, because I think we'd actually be
the number one politics podcast, like I mean, certainly in
the top you know, yeah, it would be amazing. So
tell somebody about the show. Play's gonna want some cool stuff.
I'm gonna watch some cool stuff. We're gonna rest up.
(37:02):
See you Monday, over and out. You're listening to Clay
Travis and Buck Sexton on the EIB Network.
Welcome to today's edition of the Clay Travis and Buck
Sexton Show podcast. Welcome in final hour of the week.
We appreciate all of you hanging out with us Clay
Travis Buck Sexton Show as we roll into the weekend.
We are joined now by Glenn Beck, who a lot
of you listened to before this show begins all over
many affiliate stations in this country. Glenn's got a brand
(00:23):
new book out, The Great Reset. Appreciate him joining us.
And right off the top, Glenn, how are you feeling.
I got COVID here this week as well. I understand
that you did also. Yeah, I'm fine. I mean, it's
a pain in the neck, but I had it the
first time before there was any vaccine or anything, and
that wiped me out for about three weeks. You know,
I've been broadcasting with it and everything. It's in my
(00:46):
lungs a bit for a cough, but it's like a
It was for two days a bad cold, and now
it's just kind of lingers. I think this is some
of the best news that we've had. This looks like
it's now starting to repeat the pattern from the nineteen
eighteen in Fluenzo. The first year was bad. Second year
(01:07):
was worse. By the third year. It started just to
go from a pandemic to an endemic. And everybody is
getting it. I mean, this whole idea of passports and
now quarantining. Now is the time everyone is going to
get it, no matter what you do. I mean, the
scientists at the base in Antarctica have it. How did
(01:30):
they get it? You know, this is the best thing
it can happen. The death rates down ninety one percent,
and it will will only get stronger from here. The
pandemic is just a few weeks away from being over.
Glennet's buck always get to talk to you, sir. I
want to ask you if you could just put this
in a context for us. You've got this book out
(01:50):
this week, The Great Reset. I think people have heard
the term. It gets thrown around, but what is that
as you write about it, but also is everybody listening
across the country needs to understand it. What does that mean?
I mean, it's a term that the other side has
actually used, but you mean something quite differently by it. No, actually,
I mean exactly what they mean. I'm sorry you put
(02:11):
into context what they're trying to accomplish with it. Pardon me,
go ahead. Yes, this is the this book, Buck, I
think is the most important book out there. And I
say that only because it's the only one of its kind.
If somebody else else can write something better, I will
happily promote that. But it's the only one of its
(02:31):
kind in the West. And this isn't a direct assault
on the West. The Western way of life's Western values,
our capitalist system, the free market. Freedom at every single
level is at stake. And when you understand what we've
put together in this book, we've taken it from their
(02:54):
own words. There's fifty pages of fine print footnotes. There's
no speculation. It is what they are doing and passing
in laws and everything else all over the world. It
is the rosetta stone for the news when you're watching
things like the vaccine passports, when you're looking for why
(03:17):
that they are finding businesses? Why does home depot? Why
are they allowed to be open but your local true
hardware store can't. Why can I go into a restaurant
take off my mask if I'm seated and eat without
a mask. But if I'm in an airplane, which has
much better filtering system, I'm sitting down and I'm eating
and I have to have the mask on in between bites.
(03:39):
Everything is about control and when you see the when
you see what's happening to us financially, this is the
next big step. COVID and global warming are there big
pushes for this, but the financial system is coming under
(04:00):
attack and it is very fragile. And the things that
they're doing with banking explains exactly why Nike would take
half of their audience and just throw it away. Why
Coca Cola would be saying we got to train people
to be less white. Why would these companies do that.
(04:21):
It doesn't make any sense unless you understand what's really
happening with the Great Reset. Glenn, we started off the
show today and I bet you did as well, talking
about what a disaster of a week it has been
for Joe Biden. Where do we go? If you are
And I even said, hey, if you were paying me
to try to defend the Joe Biden administration, right now,
(04:44):
I can barely even think of an argument to make.
Where do we go now? For the Biden administration in
twenty twenty two as we head towards what I think
most people would anticipate at this point in time is
going to be a red tied, overwhelming wave that is
going to sweep across the country come November. What do
(05:06):
they do to try to stop that? Can they do anything?
So a really good question, and this again goes into
the great reset. This is by government fiat. This is
not This is a run around all constitutional laws. That's
why you see what they're doing. You know, when the
(05:26):
Supreme Court said no, you can't have vaccine mandates, what
did he do? He pressured the businesses to do it anyway. Yeah,
when they when they say things online that he doesn't like.
This week he came out and said, I urge these
the companies to stop these podcasts. This is a this
(05:48):
is an end run and there's something really important that people. Really,
when you get this piece, you will understand that you
Washington is going to become very irrelevant soon. It's called ESG.
They're ESG scores. I don't know if you've heard of
them yet, but they are going to make every bit
(06:11):
of difference in your life in the next year. It's
a Environmental, Social Justice and Governance score. Now we saw
the beginnings of this with gun control. Remember they said,
you know what we can't you might not be able
to get insurance, and so you're gonna have to pay
you extra for insurance. And these banks, I don't know,
(06:33):
we don't want to do business with companies that are
selling guns. That's just the beginning of it. This score
is an arbitrary score set by the banks and the
elites and people like Black Rock along with the government,
and it really is going to turn into pay for
play and it will be first on the scores. Like
(06:55):
Coca Cola, they're already doing this in Europe. Coca Cola
has who justify their business to the banking community and
to the other regulators that are really not part of
the government. It's just the financial community, and they have
to justify that they're being good stewards of the environment,
(07:15):
that they are promoting social justice, that they have enough women,
enough blacks, enough Hispanics on their board, and beyond this,
if you don't, for instance, because global warming is the
number one thing that the Great Reset is about, it'll
be the heaviest hammer. The FED just announced this week
(07:38):
that they're going to start doing stress tests climate stress
tests on all of the banks. What that means is,
are you, as a bank loaning money to somebody who
does fracking, somebody who is in natural gas, somebody that
is drilling for oil or building a refinery. If you
do that, because of the Great Reset, they are phasing
(08:03):
out fossil fuels and that will put an undue stress
on your bottom line. So if you continue to make
those loans, then the Federal Reserve says, this is a
sketchy bank. We don't know how solid it is. So
everybody is being forced to get out of whatever the
government says through their little cabal, not through Congress. Whatever
(08:28):
they decide they want to do extra constitutional, they just
do it. Now, when you're a big company, let's say
you don't do anything with oil or gas, but you
make a widget that the fracking people use, well, now
you're going to get a lower ESG score as well,
(08:49):
and the bank may not give you a loan until
you stop selling those widgets to the oil company. So
this goes all the way down to the individual investor.
If you go to your Marrill Lynch fund or Charles
Schwab fund, I can guarantee you you're going to find
ESG and they have already started putting those on your
(09:11):
personal portfolio. So whatever it is you buy in your stock,
your four oh one k, you know, your retirement fund.
It now has an ESG score. If you have a
low ESG score, banks won't want to do business with
you because you're a risk. It's it's absolutely insidious and
(09:34):
it is. It is the reason why businesses are doing
what they're doing. It goes all the way to why
they are targeting parents at schools because that's part of
the agenda. This is an entire revamping of the entire system.
Nobody's talking about it. We're speaking of Glenback the book
this week that's out, The Great Reset, Joe Biden and
(09:57):
the Rise of twenty first Century Fascism one Glenn. One
more for you. As people are hearing this, that might
be thinking, okay, well, how are we doing in the
counterattack if you will, and what can we do? What
can people do listening to this so to push back.
Here's the biggest thing, and common sense will tell you this.
First of all, you have to educate yourself. You can't
(10:19):
defeat Nazis if you don't know what Nazis are. You
can't feat defeat Islamic extremism if you don't know the
difference between Islamicism and an Islamicist. You have to know
and the learning curve has to be almost straight up.
With America, we are way behind the eight ball. And
the other thing that is really common sense after education,
(10:41):
spreading it to others. But also do not buy into
the idea that this is too big of a problem
and you can't fix it. It is going to be
fixed by locals. It is by doing supporting your local business.
It is by supporting your local school board, getting onto
(11:02):
your zoning committee. You will be amazed in small towns
all across the country how much is already zoned. And
it's all part of this global agenda. It is phenomenal
when they talk about and it's in the book of
owning all federal government owning thirty percent of not only
the land, but all water in the United States by
(11:26):
twenty thirty, by twenty fifty, owning fifty percent. This is
a massive plan that will dramatically change human existence. This
is the anti American revolution, and it will take individuals
to stop it. It will take you working in your
(11:46):
local community. One of the things you can do, stop
doing business with these big, huge fed banks. Get your
money into a local owned and operated bank. One that's
take your loans and your deposits, and they're using it
in your own hometown. We have to be locally focused
(12:08):
everything in our society right now. Everything they're trying to
do is to make you feel alone, make you feel small,
make you feel like nobody can speak out. They are terrified,
terrified of the individual, and we keep dismissing ourselves. Don't
you have all the power and are the only way
it's going to stop. It's not going to stop because
(12:30):
of Washington. The book is the great reset. The author
Glenn Beck, Glenn, our friend. Thank you so much for
being with us in your work on this. We'll talk
to you soon. I have to tell you you have
the you had the hardest transition in radio. I've been
in radio for forty five years. I have never seen
anyone that had a harder uphill battle to do than
(12:51):
to replace Rush Limbaugh. And I am so proud of
both of you. You're doing such a great job. Congratulations
from you. Thanks. Think of the number of times, very
nice to say. Think of a number of times and
the number of websites and apps you bought products or
services from dozens hundreds. Every time you're online setting up
(13:12):
an account or making a purchase, you're putting your personal
information into some database. Most of the time that's okay,
but occasionally those databases are stolen by an online computer hacker,
a cyber thief. It's not personal, it's not like that
cyber thief has you specifically in his or her sights.
But when they get a hold of your data, they're
quick to tap into your credit card account and make
as many purchases or open as many accounts as possible.
(13:35):
You'll never know what happened. Eventually, you find out when
the bill shows up. But it's important to understand how
cybercrime and identity theft are affecting your life. Good thing
there's LifeLock. LifeLock helps detect a wide range of online
identity thefts, like your credit card info being in the
wrong hands. If you become a victim of identity theft
and you're a LifeLock member, you'll have help from a
knowledgeable restoration specialist to help you clean up the problem.
(13:58):
How do they do it? Buck, Look, no one can
prevent all identity thefter monitor all transactions at all businesses,
but you can help protect what's yours with LifeLock by
Norton I haven't. I've been a LifeLock customer for years.
I've been getting the alerts. Hey is this right? This
is in your credit now, this was just added. This
is a credit card that's been taken out in your name.
You need to have this service. You could join now
(14:19):
and save twenty five percent off your first year by
using promo code buck. Call one eight hundred LifeLock that's
one eight hundred LifeLock or headed LifeLock dot com. Use
that promo code buck for twenty five percent off. You
know what really happened to an entitled international sports star.
(14:42):
Somebody is saying no, at least for the time being,
and at least until he finds another judge. He found one,
but now that it's really sketchy that he might get
this worked out before he is supposed to play his
first ground match. Willie I tweeted out last night. If
this guy had any respect for a tournament he's won
(15:04):
nine times, and he had any grace, he would go
to the airport and go home because he's making a
mockery of his favorite major tennis tournament. That's some really
bad sports analysis or some guy I've never heard of
named Mike Lupeka will get some good sports analysis here
from her buddy Clay in a second Welcome back to
Clay and Buck show. That was over Novak Djokovic one
(15:26):
of the sports I know a lot more about tennis
than I do about pretty much any other sport, and
Djokovic is one of the greatest players of all time.
He's obviously in some hot water with the Australian authorities
right now because of some issues with his visa because
he's on vaxed and all the rest of it. First
of all, Clay, that guy, I've never heard him before, Lupica, Lupica,
(15:47):
he sounds yeah. I mean, was he giving that little
rant through three masks to make sure that he was
taking the virus? Seriously? I mean, sometimes when you hear
the other people who made livings writing about sports, it
doesn't seem so impressive that I made a lot of
money writing and talking about sports because I'm not necessarily
competing with the absolute apex predators of competition out there. Right,
(16:10):
But this is such a bad take. Right Australia has
a monster omicron issues a million cost of the world
does a million cases a day. I think right now
is where they are through the roof. They tried to
play the COVID zero game. They've done the vaccine gambit,
and it has not panned out for them, And so
I believe what's really happened is Novak Yokovic has become
(16:33):
a convenient foil, a way to distract the rest of
Australia from the fact that the vaccines are not stopping
the spress. Sorry, a million omicron overall, I think is
what they've liked, one hundred and forty seven thousand new
cases in Australia, hundred forty as want to get the
numbers right, which if you extrapolate what the population of
(16:54):
Australia is like thirty million, that's right, So it would
be like a million a day here. Yes, So so
what they're trying to do clearly the with Jokovic, as
you just mentioned, as they are dealing with a monster
surge of omicron there. And remember this is a place
that walcked itself down and basically said we're not going
to allow COVID to exist here. What they are recognizing
(17:17):
is that is never going to be a viable position.
And so right now, I believe politicians are trying to
distract from the larger issue by going after Yokovich. This
could also, by the way, we don't know he's got
another appeal in to see whether or not he's gonna
be able to play. I think the tournament starts in
like two or three days. Could also be an issue
for the United States because there are requirements when you're
(17:39):
coming in from a foreign country that you have certain
paperwork that you filled out as it pertains to COVID,
and that could be a factor for some of our
tournaments as well. This is crazy. He's already there, He's
already in the country. He's already been training in the country. Buck,
what are you actually losing by allowing him to participate
(18:02):
at this point when he's already there. Start your day
with coffee that it might be new to some of you,
but I've been drinking it for years and Clay loves
it too, Black Rifle coffee. This is the best taste
in coffee you're gonna have. I'm telling you, it's fantastic.

Clay Travishing, search out Buck Sexton's name. You can also
go give us five stars. You can leave a funny
podcast review and if we see it, and by we
I mean our boy Dub who is actually reviewing all these,
(19:28):
we'll read some of them on the show, maybe as
soon as next week, So go get those podcast reviews
and appreciate all of you for doing so. We bring
in now the chair of the RNC, RONA McDaniel, and
she is here as you guys have created. Thank you
for spending time with us here on Friday, a bit
of a tempest in the Washington, DC weather. I want
(19:51):
to play for you here what Jensaki said yesterday. I'm
sure you heard it, but if our audience didn't, about
presidential can and it's not participating in debate sponsored by
this group. The president has participated in many debates over
the course of his career and believes they play a
(20:11):
role in allowing the American people to hear from candidates
and where they stand. So I think it's more question
best post to the RNC on what they're so afraid of?
So she asked a question, what are you guys afraid of?
Thanks for coming on with us. How would you respond
to Jensaki? Yeah, I think the question more should go
back to her, what are you afraid of? Because of
(20:31):
course you love presidential debate committee that picked a moderator
who worked for you, worked for Joe Biden. They started
debates after twenty six states and started absentee voting, and
they moved the second debate to virtual because you know,
Joe couldn't leave the basement. So of course they love
that commission. I would say to them, why are you
so afraid to negotiate with the networks directly? Why do
(20:55):
you need a middleman to do your dirty work for you?
And that's what the RNC is saying. We're sick of
working with a bias committee. The things that we've asked
them to guarantee that they wouldn't do for twenty twenty four,
like not picking a moderator that worked for the Democrat,
starting debates before twenty six states had started voting, and
not having their committee members trash the Republican nominee. I
(21:18):
think our pretty common sense. They told us we're not
going to guarantee those things, and so now we're going
to look for a fair forum for debate for our candidate,
Ronald's buck. And this is music to my years. I've
got to tell you, I've watched the debates increasingly in
recent years with frustration. It's so obvious. I mean, just
off the top of one's head, you can think about
someone of the likes of John Harwood involved. It was
(21:40):
just a clear Democrat partisan in a presidential debate. What
happened with Candy Crowley at CNN when Mitt Romney and
Barack Obama were debating the issue of Benghazi. I mean,
there's so many key moments that even come up, never
mind the overall tilt toward the left and toward the
Democrats of this. So what can be done now? Assuming
(22:01):
that you are running the RNC, so you're the person
we need to talk to you about this. There's an
understanding that these debates are biased and unfair in favor
of Democrats because they control ninety five percent of the
journalism and quote unquote journalism and media in the country.
What does a more fair forum look like? How can
we get to a place where we don't have a
(22:21):
Democrat hack taking cheap shots at the would be next
Republican president of the United States on a debate stage.
Totally back, and I think a big part of it
is getting rid of a commission that's bias. And part
of their plan is, oh, we negotiate with the nominee,
and we negotiate with the nominee. Well, the Republican nominee
won't be in place until July or August of twenty
(22:42):
twenty four. By then they've contracted the venues, they've picked them,
not moderators. It's too late. So the RNC is interveeting
now before we pass our rules for twenty four and
we are putting them on notice, and we are saying
our candidates cannot seek our nomination unless they agree to
not work with the CPD, which is going to open
the door for less bias or non biased neutral arbiters
(23:05):
to come forward, for us to negotiate directly with networks,
or to find forums that will conduct a fair debate
for the American people, conduct debates before twenty six states
start voting, agree to not pick moderators that worked for
either candidate. Really simple things that we're asking for. This
is a rule change we're going to propose at our
winner meeting and it will pass at a later meeting. Rona.
(23:28):
I know people are super excited about the midterms coming
up in November, but there are also a ton of
our listeners that are even more excited about the idea
of a twenty twenty four presidential campaign. When will the
first debates begin for the Republican presidential candidates? Because those
were wildly entertaining in the run up if you remember
(23:49):
certainly as you well do in sixteen with so many
different candidates on the stage. We'll see how that looks
in twenty four. And do you anticipate still Iowa as
the official shoal launching point for the Republican race for
whoever's going to get the primary. Yeah, So all of
this is starting right now with the Republican Republican National Committee.
(24:10):
So we're going to have our winner meeting where the
Presidential Nominating Committee and the Debate Committee will put their
suggestions forward and then it'll be embedded in the rules.
I haven't seen a lot of movement from the members
saying they want to move away from the traditional Iowa
and New Hampshire, so we'll see what they do. I
don't want to get ahead of their work, and on
the debates, I think they're going to have to start earlier.
(24:32):
If you're looking at the primaries and how that's stacking
up for twenty twenty four, they're going to be starting
earlier than ever. You could have some primaries back in
December of twenty three, so that means debates we'll have
to start earlier and earlier, so we'll be adjusting the
calendar accordingly. Is there anything that's going to stop this
from halv I just I don't know. This all sounds great, Rona,
(24:54):
and we're speaking Ron McDaniel ahead of the RNC. Is
this going to be implemented? I just I don't want
to get excited that we're not going to go into
Democrat ambushes in the presidential cycle and then all of
a sudden, you know, it's like a Da Lucy pull
in the football at the last second. So the only
way this can happen really right now is if the
RNC takes an affirmative stance. Because the CPD has had
(25:18):
a monopoly, there's been no competition in that space, and
all their bias always just towards the Republicans. So the
Debate Committee for the RNC voted unanimously to take this step.
But now we're going to take it to the full
one sixty eight. I've got work to do to make
sure the members agree to this rule change, but we've
had overwhelming support from grassroots and people who have understood
(25:40):
this process for so long, who bang their head and say,
why do Republicans let their candidate deal with this and
get into these debates with these bias moderators. And this
is the first time the RNC has stepped up and
said enough is enough. We're going to fight for our
seventy four million voters, and we're going to fight for
our future nominee and that starts right now. Ron. Thank you,
fantastic stuff. We'll look forward to the fight and also
(26:03):
we can't wait for that twenty twenty four race to start.
Thank you. Well, we're sad for twenty twenty two terms. First,
everybody stir on side in for twenty twenty two. We're
already looking ahead. Clay and I are mobilizing everybody. Thank you.
Lots of conversation this week about voting and voting access.
I know you guys value your own vote what it
stands for. Now, you also vote every single month with
(26:26):
the money you spend in the companies you choose to
spend it with. Consider your cell phone provider and the
bill you're paying each month. You're likely to be surprised
and disappointed to see how much of your money supports
the candidates and issues they donate to. Leftist politicians pushing
agendas that don't match up with your own. Now, there's
a solution. It's pure Talk. Get your cell phone service
(26:48):
from pure Talk. Instead, they use the exact same towers
accessing the exact same five G network as one of
those companies. And with pure talk you get peace of
mind that you're supporting a veteran run business with employee's
all here in the US. Buck, how do you get
hooked up from your cell phone right now? It's so easy.
Dial pound two five zero, that's pound two fifty and
(27:10):
just say the words pure talk. That's pure Talk. You'll
save an additional fifty percent off your first month. Again,
dial pound two five zero from your cell phone right
now and say pure talk. Roll it in to the
last lap here of the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton
(27:31):
Show before we send you all off to enjoy your weekends, rest,
recuper right, get ready for the fight ahead. By that,
I mean joining us of course, at noon Eastern on
Monday and every day after that. And we are hoping
to be a gathering place, if you will, that the
town square, the field of mustard for freedom, not to
be confused with mustard. Very easy to get those things.
The field of mustard, great condiment. However it is I've
(27:53):
become more of a mustard. Guys like it all. I
was just talking to Ali producer Ali before. I don't know,
I'm kind of dumb with ketchup. You know ketchup. I
feel like you're a kid. I put it on everything.
I think I overdid it on the ketchup now become
more of a as the French would say, mutild man.
So but so wait when you get when you get
French fries, you don't go with ketchup on them. I
mean I do occasionally steal from the communists and I
(28:15):
put mayonnaise on my French fries. Oh no, I know
so much legitimacy we had built up this week a sudden,
I'm just scooter riding mayonnaise your fries. I just I
don't know if people can trust you anymore. Yeah, and
I always I make I use my black rifle the morning,
(28:36):
you know, to ver coffee. But I also have a
milk froth and I feel like that like kick ass
coffee is like, don't don't froth your milk on me, buddy,
Like just drink it black. You know it probably should.
I'm a man up on some of that stuff. It's
it is delicious, though, it is delicious. It's been a
wild week by the way you talk about all the
news that happened. Also, just think like when I started
this week no COVID, and then I got COVID, and
(28:59):
now I'm finishing the week basically back to one hundred percent,
like in the space of a week. I can't even
tell right now in my voice, I feel like I'm
I actually feel more rested. I'm gonna watch a lot
of Peaky Blinders tonight. I'm gonna be able. I'm gonna
be able to stay up super late because I slept
so much more this week, like usually by Friday. I
know a lot of people out there to know this feeling.
(29:20):
You could buy the end you're dragging like you're trying
to get through the week. I feel like I'm just
you know, I I have like a second win because
I didn't I didn't do much this week because I
had the COVID. We're glad that you that you crushed
the omicron and made it cry out for mercy. Yeah,
as so many of our listeners have. I'd also say
I'm gonna be watching both now now. I'm now I'm
double tapping because I got I got Yellowstone to catch
(29:43):
up on. Ever, I know it's like they're all excited
that I'm now on the Yellowstone Trail. You joined the trail,
I've joined the U joined the ranch, so to speak. Yes,
I've got the brand Clay, I've got the brand now
the big why on my chest and uh and also
I've got a courtesy of of Missus trap Us getting
you know, be fired up about loving the She told
you that it's great. I'm like, oh, she's right. Cobra Kai,
(30:06):
I got Cobra Kai. I'm excited to hear your Peaky
Blinders review, though you gotta give it at least three
episodesons are there? There's like five or six. Oh. That's
one thing that makes me nervous is when you jump
in late on a show and you're like, there's sixty
episodes you have to watch, like that's gonna take a post.
It goes so fast, it's so good. I'm telling you're
gonna love it. And we said we take some calls,
so let's do some of that too. Steve in Oregon
(30:27):
has some thoughts for us. What's up, Steve, Yeah, thank
you gentlemen for having me on the show. It's a pleasure. UM,
I have a couple of things that I wanted to address.
I was pitching it to the call screener in twenty
twenty four, What do you guys think a bit about
a Candice Owens and Trump card. I mean she as
(30:51):
the vice president on the on the Donald Trump ticket.
I don't think Trump would go VP Claire. Yeah, yeah,
Kevin kidding, UM, I look would be an It would
be an intriguing move. I think. Let me just say this,
assuming that Trump is going to run in twenty twenty four,
and I think that he is the person that he
selects as his vice president will be maybe the most
(31:14):
significant vice presidential selection we have seen a Republican candidate
make in most of our lifetimes, because we've never been
in this situation where best case scenario you get four years,
so then you're definitely passing the baton, as opposed to
an eight year scenario where the VP gets it. In
eight years, you are deputizing even if you lose whoever
(31:36):
the vice president is as potentially the future of the party,
much like what Joe Biden was trying to do with Kamal.
I mean, but to your question, though, Steve Clay and
I think Candis is fantastic. She'd be formidable in any
number of roles. But you're gonna have a lot of
people that are also really formidable as possible VP candidates.
I mean who you know. I mean, you go down
the list right now. You're gonna have people that are
(31:57):
to say, you know, Mike Pompeo and and Rhonda Santis
and Scott Yeah, the whole. I mean, you know, there's
a whole. It's an interesting idea, Steve, to be sure,
an interesting idea. We appreciate your raising it to us,
and thank you for calling in. David in Raleigh, North Carolina.
He's got a Clay question, David, Hey, growing up my
(32:19):
man Clay? What does he what does he have to do? Now? Hey, guys,
Diig Fanny of both, thank you for all you do.
Um I doubled upon its tweet from Clay in twenty sixteen.
I want to get his thoughts on and uh, I
quote at least Georgia didn't fire Mark Rick for Kirby Park.
(32:41):
I say, the one thing I will say is I
am not a tweet delet and so there is a
long much like Donald Trump, there's probably a tweet for everything.
That is one of my dumber takes more first year,
in my defense, first year of Kirby Smart after he
took over from Mark Correct. And for people out there
who are not big sports fans, I'm getting called out
here because Georgia head coach Kirby Smart won the national
(33:05):
championship on Monday by beating Alabama. I believe he went
seven and six in his first year something like that,
and so that tweet was sent during that first year.
It looks very dumb. Now I didn't even know any
of that. So there we go, all right, David, So
he caught me, David, No, twenty sixteen. There's a lot
of things out there. You go back, you know, six years,
(33:26):
there's no telling what might come out, David. Thanks for
calling in keeping Clay honest on the sports talk. So
there we have it. Yeah, but there's no such things
really tweet deleting. Anyway, they got the way back was right.
They'll always go and find it. And in some ways,
if you're a tweet delet then it's almost like you're
trying to hide the evidence, you know what I mean,
You might you might as well just own it, you know,
you might as well own it. You know, yeah, and
people screenshot it. Like I always think, you know, if
(33:47):
somebody says something and then they delete it, but people
screenshot at it when you that's when it's current. Whenever
you delete something that you just tweeted, unless it's just
like clearly like there's you know, you mess spelling air
or something, yeah, spelling air, you're not really doing anything
because people just immediately grab it and then they're like, oh, look,
you're trying to pretend you didn't send it. Now, Curtis
in Vancouver, Washington, what do you got for us, Curtis,
(34:10):
But thank you for Buck Sexton for sharing just before
the Christmas break, you shared how you started off as
a young lad and you had a speech impediment, and
your teachers and your parents and other people were very
supportive and got you therapy and encouraged you, and you
finally wound up as the co host of the top
talk show in America. And that inspired me to share
(34:32):
about my favorite scientist, Michael Faraday, who when he first
entered the third grade, he introduced himself to the class as, hello,
my name is Michael Falladay, at which the whole class
last and the teacher to the older brother Robert aside
and said, here, there's a coin, give me a switch.
I'm going to beat Michael every time he misspeaks. And
his brother took him home to his mother, who said,
(34:54):
they're not going to treat my Michael that way, and
she got him a position with a bookbinder who was
also very simple seed, and Michael read every book that
he bound, and it led him on the path of
becoming one of the greatest scientists of all time. It's
a great story of induction and capacities. Had invented the
electric motor and the electric generator and all because the
(35:17):
reaction when he had a slightness speech impediment and sleared
his ours. Well, Curtis, thank you so much for that,
for the great story, and also for the for the
shout out. Yeah, I started out in life with an
articulation disorder, and in my specific case, there were a
lot of consonants that would be mixed up, and so
you can imagine first grade, second grade, Oh so a little,
(35:39):
I mean you remember it? Yeah? Oh yeah, no, I
remember because my parents. My name is James Buckman, but
everyone called me Buck and occasionally I would try to
introduce myself to my peers as my name is butt,
and that did not always go over so well. Even then,
the kids thought that was very funny, so you can
imagine you you developed quite a bit of humility in
(35:59):
life when as a young kid you're mispronouncing your own name.
But thanks to my parents and a few other very
helpful educators, here I am with mister Clay Travis. Someone
is actually the biggest radio show in America. So don't
give up on your kids. Folks, stay in their stay
with them. They'll get there. They'll get there. Yeah, it's
all kinds of stuff. It's not just the left finish
(36:20):
shows over here. Buddy. Well that's a lot better of
a story than you telling us all hell was gonna
break loose and in Ukraine, which is how we finished
the second out the deck on Ukraine. It's gonna be rough,
but we got other things that we're talking about two
next week. Clayon, I honestly have so much fun doing
this show and appreciate so much every single one of
you who listened all across the country. If you think
what we're doing here is worthwhile and cool, tell somebody
(36:41):
the best thing you can do is actually share the
Clay and Buck Podcast, because that's the thing. You can
text or email on the iHeart app if you all
got one person, one person new to listen to the
show of the weekend, because I think we'd actually be
the number one politics podcast, like I mean, certainly in
the top you know, yeah, it would be amazing. So
tell somebody about the show. Play's gonna want some cool stuff.
I'm gonna watch some cool stuff. We're gonna rest up.
(37:02):
See you Monday, over and out. You're listening to Clay
Travis and Buck Sexton on the EIB Network.
