Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome to today's edition of the Clay Travis and buck
Sexton Show podcast Clay Travis buck Sexton Show, Our three
is here. Thanks for rolling with us for the whole show,
for part of the show, for joining in just now.
If you did eight two two two eight eight two.
You want to chat with us on the phone lines,
We've got our friend Alie Beth Stucky. Podcast is relatable
(00:24):
and she is at the Blaze and she'll talk to
us about bunch of things, including that baby formula shortage
that is that's a big deal. Um, you know, my
my little sister's got a young one that you know,
this is something that people you don't want to add
this stress to the situation of new parents, and it's
a problem across the country. And I think unfortunately, and
(00:47):
this is where you know, there's there's good news bad
news to bring you in general here on the show
and on this day and on a lot of days
I think I had. The good news is that Clay
and I are confident that the Democrats are heading for
a SmackDown, a elbow off the top belt buckle, if
(01:08):
you will, in this mid terms. That a suplex. I
used to watch the ww FA back in the day
before the Wildlife people got mad at Sue made at
the WWE I used to watch back in the day.
So the Democrats are gonna get crushed. I think in
the midterms, we're obviously going to stay I on the prize, focused, mobilized,
get everybody as engaged and involved all across the countrys
(01:28):
you can one of the one of the honestly, the
real responsibilities we have on the show is there are
and we are blessed and thankful and humbled. There are
so many listeners to this show that this audience can
make a real difference in national politics, not even just
obviously any state or local race, but even national politics,
which is why we've got you know, would be senators
and congressmen and dog catchers, you name it. They're reaching out.
(01:49):
They want to come on the show all the time.
So on the good side of things is I think
we're politically now reaching a point of clarity. On the
bad side of things, it's gonna get rough out there.
In the economy, I think that's almost a certainty at
this stage. And now that ties into the first proposition.
But I actually want the country to be prosperous, happy, stable,
(02:11):
and free. This isn't just my scoreboard, their scoreboard thing
where whatever gets our side to win is all that matters.
And the economy is going to get rough. We've got
the new inflation numbers expected to come out soon, the
stock market tanking today. Biden is going to give is
going to give a speech tomorrow. It's just announced a
(02:34):
speech tomorrow where he's going to try to blame inflation
on other people. And let's remember that inflation went from
according to this White House, not a problem, to transitory
to short term or you know, going to fade out soon,
to Okay, we've got an inflation problem, but it's the
putin price hych which that didn't work. That talking point's
(02:56):
going to fade away. CNN released a pull that said
that eight in ten US adults that the federal government
wasn't doing enough to curb inflation. Clay, this, this is
what's gonna This is the problem. Curbing inflation means rates
go up. That's really the that's really the way. Yeah,
you can reduce spending, but in the short term, if
you really want to curb inflation, you have to raise
(03:18):
interest rates. We have gone through a period here of
really unprecedented and artificially low interest rates. Folks, This is
going to mean buying a house, getting that mortgage more expensive,
credit card debt more expensive, just investment out there in
the community in general, more expensive, harder to come by.
This is the only way. Basically, we got to eat
(03:39):
eat our p's now, Clay, it's time. It's time to
put the castor oil and the spoon for this economy.
It's not going to be fun. Yeah, And what Biden's
going to try to do is confuse people and argue
that the policies he's tried to pass that have not
passed have cause that, other words, Republicans have helped to
cause inflation. Now that they're blaming everybody, right, because initially,
(04:04):
as you said, Buck, the argument was this is very transitory,
and instead it's now somewhat stable. Now, the expectations are
that inflation is going to come back a little bit
on Wednesday. And again, that number I believe comes out
at eight thirty am Eastern on Wednesday, So I'm sure
Wednesday show will be talking about whatever those numbers might
(04:24):
have shown for April. The challenges to your point, the
only real way to dial back inflation is to start
to raise interest rates, and there's still a tremendous gap
between where interest rates are and where the inflation rate is,
and it doesn't feel to me like this is going
(04:45):
to be a rapid retrenchment in any way. But Biden
knows that he's way underwater on the inflation related issues,
so he's going to try and muddy those waters and
try to assert blame on Republicans rather than owning it
himself for the policies that he put in place. And honestly,
thank goodness on a small scale that Joe Manchion and
(05:09):
Kirsten Cinema stood up against the massive Build Back Better
plan that Biden wanted to spend, because if that had passed,
that was going to be trillions of more dollars rolling
into our economy being spent by the federal government at
the worst possible time. Now, unfortunately, unfortunately they were able
to ram through all of the spending that they were
(05:32):
in the early days of the Biden administration. Why did
we end up spending on COVID over five trillion dollars right, buck, Yes,
over five trillion dollars that we borrowed for COVID, and
basically all of that money had virtually I believe, no impact,
meaning it would have been better off for us if
we had never shut down, if we had just powered
right through. Virtually everyone has gotten COVID by this point
(05:56):
or gotten the COVID shot. Many have gotten both the
COVID shot and COVID, of course, including your own governor
Kathy Hokel, who continues to trot out the insanely ridiculous
I have. COVID's relatively minor thanks to the fact that
my two shots and my two boosters. I mean, in
such a cliche at this point, but that's where we are.
(06:17):
We're captured now at forty year high inflation rates, which
make I believe, I really think there's no argument at
this point Joe Biden's far worse than Jimmy Carter ever was.
When you look at all everything that Joe Biden has
touched has turned to crap. Everything in this country, the border,
the crime rate, the inflation rate, the inability buck we
(06:39):
still haven't gotten. And I think this is important because
the other thing Biden's going to argue is, oh, look
at the millions of jobs I've created since I came
into office. That's a lie. We still aren't back to
the same employment that we had in February of twenty
twenty and early March of twenty twenty when we shut
down this country. And I think a lot of people
don't realize that. I believe we're still a million and
(07:00):
half jobs behind where we were when we decided to
have the lockdowns and the unemployment rate skyrocketed to twenty percent.
We still haven't gain back the jobs that we lost
when we shut down this country in February and March
of twenty twenty. It's not confidence inspiring, Clay when you
think that it took a couple of senators getting the
(07:20):
ire of their party, I mean, get it. Just people
were furious with Cinema and Mansion, and not only did
they probably save the Democrat Party from even further electoral annihilation,
they might have done more than anybody else to save
the economy from getting And now Republicans obviously didn't want
to go along with that either, but they weren't in
(07:41):
that position, right. They weren't members of the Democrat Party
in a position to say we're actually going to break party,
break with party ranks here and not spend that additional
five trillion dollars. This is all very straightforward. And let's
remember that under the Trump years you started to hear
more and when I say straightforward, I mean the cause
and effect. Under the Trump as, you started to hear
more and more from the left from Bernie Sanders supporters
(08:03):
and voters and advisors and AOC about MMT modern monetary theory.
You're not hearing a lot about that these days. Modern
monetary theory. We should explain that to people, because it
was such a why and you were hearing it as
though it was smart. And basically MMT is the government
in our position. It's a macroeconomic theory saying that rising
(08:26):
debt and fear of inflation should not restrain your spending. Essentially,
determine what the public good requires in terms of spending,
and spend it. Open checkbook, go for it, go wild
now for anybody. And then people say, well, what about inflation,
They say, oh, don't worry, we'll handle it. That's effectively
the MMT theorist walls freak out. Say I have a
(08:48):
PhD and microcodomas whatever that's reality. They'll say, we'll handle it.
They don't have a real way to do it. And
this was talked about more and more because Trump, there
was so much prosperity. The markets were doing so well,
and everyone felt like, Wow, the economy's kicking. But now
all of a sudden, you're not hearing it anymore because
under the COVID period, we we kind of tried a
short term. It was like a trial period of MMT,
(09:11):
it will stay home, and we'll spend five trillion additional
dollars to try to deal with this completely unnecessary spending.
You know, over ninety percent of it right when you
look at it, because people shouldn't have had to stay home.
We should have gone to our jobs. We should not
have done any of the things that we did in
that regard because remember seenior citizens overwhelming. You're not the
ones who were staying home from work, and they're the
ones who were at risk. So we tried this idea
(09:33):
out of hey, there's a there's a public crisis, let's
just spend whatever money we think we need to spend.
And it's disastrous and now the bill is coming due
and we're going to have to deal with the pain
this is caused and effect and the Democrats, until about
five minutes ago, we're saying I want to find the
audio Joe Biden was saying, spending five trillion dollars will
(09:54):
reduce inflation. Yes, that was a true moron, Yes, that
was That was the argument for back better and they were,
by the way, a lot of economists who carry water
for Democrats that we're saying the same thing. And I
hope that come Wednesday at eight thirty am, we don't
have another high in inflation because how many months in
(10:14):
a row have we had to deal with economists saying, boy,
this surprises me. I didn't expect for this number to
be up like it was. I mean, that's been the
reaction for what like eight or nine months in a row,
it feels like. And the idea that you can borrow
as much money as you want and there are no
consequences ever, is one of the lynchpins of modern monetary theory,
(10:37):
and it's been proven to be one hundred percent wrong.
And only because of Joe Manchion and Kursen Cinema did
Democrats not spend an additional And even the five trillion
dollar number doesn't do justice to how much more money
they wanted to spend, because it was five trillion over
ten years. But then they cut it off as if
it wasn't going to exist any longer. Meaning the reality
is we're talking about ten twenty thirty trillion dollars over
(11:01):
the next thirty or forty years that Democrats wanting to
commit the federal government too spending. You know, we know
there are regime media outlets effectively that will do anything
to support Biden. It's most of the political national journalists
out there. Whatever they can do to to help the
Biden administration narrative, they will do. And they think that
they have a duty to set aside whatever ethics their
(11:23):
profession demands or supposedly demands, in order to serve the
interests of Biden. They're a regime economists too, because every
time Biden would says you're her, economists all agree, And
of course economists don't all agree. That's that's an untrue statement,
but that's part of the propaganda. And then they point
to some some institute, you know, some nonprofit that has
a bunch of econoists working for it. Well, if you
(11:45):
want to be the economist who gets invited on CNBC
and gets a fifty thousand dollars or twenty thousand dollars
whatever it is, speaking gig gets, some conference of investors.
You always come up with the Oh, Biden's doing a
good job. Biden knows you know, this is we're moving
in the right direction. You essentially become a cheerleader for
the idiotic policies that's been going on for the last
(12:06):
year and a half, give or take. I think we're
about to see less and less of that because just indefensible.
At this point, there's no defense to economy. I will
predict what Biden is going to say tomorrow that he
has the solution to inflation and Republicans are stopping him
from implementing it. That's what I would if you want
to story in a sentence, what is Joe Biden going
(12:27):
to stay say tomorrow, It is I have the solution
to high inflation, and Republicans are keeping me from implementing it.
They are they are the reason for this problem. I
think that's what he's gonna pivot too now, because initially
it was transitory, then it was putin, then it was
you know, nothing is ever the Democrat policy fault, even
though the reality is here they are to blame. One
(12:49):
of the few drawbacks of getting older is contending with
everyday aches and pains that just won't go away. We've
got a solution for you, though, and it's likely a
name you've heard us make mention of for good reason.
It works. Relief Factor created by doctors and perfected over
fifteen years of scientific research. Relief Factor was made for
these circumstances of nagging, enduring pain with four key ingredients.
(13:13):
Relief Factor is a one hundred percent for drug free product.
It addresses joint pain, knee hit, back, neck or shoulder pain.
Try relief Factor. Just talk to my dad this weekend.
He's taken it, he says, he takes it every day.
Hundreds of thousands of people of ordered relief Factor, nearly
seventy percent of them go on to order more. If
you're currently in pain, have a seven and ten chance
to eliminate it. Those are pretty good odds, right Worth
(13:34):
a shot, isn't it? Wayne in Kansas, for example, suffered
with lower back pain for years. He finally decided to
try relief Factor and found success. Three days into his
use of relief Factor, Wayne found his pain was dramatically reduced.
Now that his pain's under control, he's continued to take
a lower level of relief Factor, which is keeping a
pain away. He's proof positive that relief Factor works. Join them.

back in Klayture Avis buck Sexton show. Buck You've done
a show I never have. But Bill Maher on HBO
has become increasingly dare we say, rational and sane in
(14:40):
an insane world, and he had a couple of interesting takes.
I thought on abortion in particular, and this is an
interesting discussion that I think very few people actually are
aware of the United States had a far more lenient
abortion policy under Roe v. Wade than virtually any European
countries did, and many people don't that. Let's listen to
(15:01):
Bill Maher discuss it on his HBO show Friday night.
I learned things this week because this put it on
the front page that are pretty basic things that I
did not know about abortion, Like in Europe. The modern
countries of Europe way more restrictive than we are or
what they're even proposing. If you are pro choice, you
(15:21):
would like it a lot less in Germany and Italy
and France and Spain and Switzerland. Did you know that?
I didn't know that. I learned most people who are
pro life or women did not know that. Indeed, it's
becoming very clear Clay that a lot of people who
think of themselves as pro choice don't realize that the
abortion lobby in America, even on a global scale, is extreme.
(15:45):
Their position is extreme. I think a lot of people
would say, oh, I'm pro choice, don't realize what they're
really signing on for. In terms of what the movement
of pro choice pro abortion is in this country. It's
very much branding because I feel like there are a
lot of people, and we talked about this last week.
When you actually dive in and you say, okay, what
do you think about nine month abortion? People say, God knows,
(16:08):
there's no way remotely that I would appreciate that. And
I said, but you know, your pro choice eight months,
seven months? And I think this is pretty significant. When
you dive in because there's a lot of talk about, Hey,
a lot of people want to say that they support
Roe v. Wade. I think that's because people don't want
to get into the nitty gritty details buck of having
to decide when is an abortion permissible and when is
(16:32):
an impermissible, because it just feels for many people like
an ikey conversation. It's an important one, but I think
it's one that our nation has been avoiding by and
large because of Roe v. Way. Now, I also want
to play this one from Bill Maher, and this for
any lawyer out there also is going to ring true.
There's a difference between precedent that's upheld and precedent that
(16:55):
isn't upheld. Some really awful cases exist for a long time,
like plus E versus Ferguson in eighteen ninety six that
upheld separate but equal. That was for a long time
the law of the land. Listen to Cut four. This
whole book argument about well, it's settled law. So was
Segregations versus Ferguson was settled law in eighteen ninety six,
(17:16):
and thank god, somebody said, let's unsettle it. It's what's
it's what you say if you. If you like it,
you're like babies, then you're pro life. And if you
like women, you approach choice. I like women. I don't
think that connection there at the end is accurate. But
(17:37):
I do think what we're already advancing towards is a
real conversation and debate about what should America's abortion policy
be in all fifty states. And that is one where
you're going to be able to hold your elected officials
accountable and the people will decide, which is the essence
of Democrats. Over emphasis on precedent is a crap argument.
Saying the Supreme Court justices misled the court when they
(17:58):
said that it's currently settled law and therefore they lie
is a crap argument. There are arguments we could take
seriously here, Clay, those are just garbage arguments, no doubt,
absolutely completely true. We've got a great guest coming up
here in a minute, Ali Beth Stucky is scheduled to
join us, and she will help break down everything going
on in the world of this case, and also probably
(18:20):
ask her a little bit about the abortion issue. And
I also want to tell all of you as we're
breaking down here and getting ready, that there is a
major issue that is going on right now, and your

(19:09):
to the Clay, Travis and Buck Sexton Show. As promised,
our friend Alie Beth Stucky is with us now. She
is host of the podcast Relatable, author of You're Not Enough,
and a writer at World Magazine. Ali thanks for joining us, Yeah,
thanks for having me. Can we start because there's obviously
so much bide administration imploding, inflation, abortion decision looming, we
(19:35):
got We've got a lot we can talk to you you about,
But I just want to know what are you hearing?
You're plugged into this community. You know what it's like
for the young moms out there, the baby formula shortage.
I'm seeing people really really freaked out about this because
what are they supposed to do? Yeah, this is terrifying
in so many ways, and I think a lot of
people don't even consider. I am friends with people who
(19:57):
are foster parents who have recently at doct did. I
have friends who have kids who have special allergies and
special needs that require them to have a certain kind
of formula. This is an insanely impactful and pervasive problem.
I mean, this is your worst nightmare if you're a
mom who is trying to feed your child, to get
(20:17):
your child the nutrients that it needs, like bare minimum.
First priority as a mother is to take care of
your child in this way, and you are literally helpless,
especially if you are someone who maybe doesn't have the
means that others do. If you have lots of dollars
laying around, you might be able to stockpile the formula
if you can find it, or you can order some
(20:39):
expensive brand overseas. But for working class women, for the
average woman, especially for a woman who is impoverished, it
is almost getting impossible for them to feed their children.
That is a very scary prospect. Ali, what are thanks
for coming on the show? By the way, What are
moms being told and dads who have to go out
to buy this formula? What are they being told about?
(21:02):
How long this shortage is going to last, how much
worse it might get? I mean, this is alarming on
an incredibly high level for anybody out there that has
raised kids and has had to buy formula, as you mentioned,
because this is one of those things that it's hard
to replicate with something else. What are moms being told? Yeah,
that's part of the anxiety, right, is that they're just
(21:23):
kind of being told as vague answer supply chain issues,
which we can talk about all the different possibilities in
all of the different reasons causing that. Some of it
also is a recall that happened to add It labs. Unfortunately,
there is contamination of the formula that led to the
sickness of lots of babies and the depth of two babies,
and so that's scary. So there's just less formula in circulation,
(21:46):
and they're not being told any answers is to really why,
and then also when it's going to end? There are
suppliers or stores like Target, like CBS, like Walgreen saying
that for the foreseeable future they are just to have
to ration the formula. So I don't have any answers.
A Biden administration doesn't seem to have any answers. These
(22:08):
suppliers don't seem to have any answers. I true, I
wish I could say there's light at the end of
the tunnel, but I just don't have that kind of
a positive vision right now. Ali also want to ask
you your thoughts on the situation of the Supreme Court
justices who have lunatics shrieking at them from their front
(22:28):
lawns of their private you know, their homes, and an
unwillingness it seems from most of the Democrat media the
White House just change their position from hey, people are upset,
too bad too, Okay, maybe don't threaten Supreme Court justices.
But this feels like a very combustible situation. And I
think the unhinged and to some demonic components of the
(22:50):
left are coming out for everyone to see. And it's
not just the Supreme Court justices and the young children
of just this like Cavana A. Barrett that are being
you know, intimidated and threatened. Right now, we're also talking
about people with far less security and far fewer places
to go, like your pregnancy resource centers. Unfortunately, we've seen
(23:12):
on Twitter pictures of these resource centers being vandalized. I mean,
these are clinics. These are centers that are helping women
no matter what they ultimately decide to do with their pregnancy.
They are offering pre pregnancy classes, free baby supplied, maternity closed,
all kinds of things. And as you said, these demonic
pro abortion activists, for whatever reason, feel that they need
(23:36):
to vandalize and in some cases burn down these clinics
because they are so rabid and intent on seeing more
babies murdered. And it really is sad, but I hope
people see more than they ever have that this is
a really a light versus darkness dichotomy more than it
is a political battle. Ali, I'm curious what you're hearing
from moms, because I talked about this on the show
(23:57):
on Thursday. I was out with group of couples, a
lot of different mombs of a variety of different political persuasions,
and what I found was just I was just having
a conversation with them about what their thoughts were on
the Alito Opinion League. It's amazing to me that people
who are pro choice define themselves very strongly pro choice.
Almost all of them that I talked to said, well, no,
(24:19):
I would never support an abortion in the seventh, eighth,
or ninth month of pregnancy, when the child is in
many ways potentially able to survive outside of the womb.
And similarly, people who said, hey, I'm one hundred percent
pro life. Obviously, we're okay with birth control. Everyone that
I was talking with, they were okay with exceptions in
(24:41):
the life of the mother certainly an incest and ape
and other things. How much agreement, and this may be
a surprise question, but it surprised me there's actually a
ton of agreement on abortion. And now that every state
has to make decisions, I think democrats are going to
find when you go into this specific details of abortion,
(25:02):
there isn't as much support for certainly all the way
up to nine month pregnancy as they're trying to argue
through the media. Have you started to see those conversations
take place, maybe an indifferent way, that the shift has
gone from Should Roe v. Wade be the law of
the land to Okay, what should abortion policy look like,
because I'm kind of intrigued by the reactions and responses
(25:24):
when you have those conversations. Well, you're absolutely right, and
putting my own opinions aside, I'm really as anti abortion
as you can get. The average American is extremely what
I would call moderate on this issue. You'll hear a
lot of pro choice activist day while the majority of
people want women to have access to abortion. Day support
(25:45):
row View Wade. But also the reality is that most
people don't really understand what row View Wade is. They
think that if Rovuwade is overturned, then America is going
to abolish abortion across the land. Most people in America,
do you believe in exceptions, even if they consider themselves
pro life. Again, putting my own personal opinions to decide
(26:08):
that it's just typical of the average American. But as
you mentioned, most Americans also believe that there should be restrictions,
especially when you get into this second and third trimester,
and that really has been steady. I mean, the last
has moved far left over the past in the twenty years,
for sure, But when it comes to abortion, the average
(26:30):
American really have stayed the same in what they consider
to be a good abortion policy. So if the LAFT
really cares about democracy as much as they say they do,
if they really are so confident that Americans want access
to abortion, then let's put it up to a vote,
which is exactly what would happen across the states. Of course,
(26:52):
if Roe v. Wade is overturned, it would be our
democratic processes playing out in state legislatures. Oh, I feel
like we're making you are unofficial but semi official Mom
whisperer here in real time, because I got another mom
question for you, and that is with the school issue
that we've seen and teaching of CRT and all of
the all of the back and forth at the school
(27:15):
board meetings, are you getting the sense that moms, we
know moms were fired up? Right? That would be we
saw that in Virginia. We've seen that in some key
some key indicators, including in some elections. Let's call it
six seven months ago. But are they still fired up?
Do you think that the shutdowns of schools for COVID,
the teaching of CRT, and now the teaching the transagenda
(27:36):
might surprise some folks with how much that motivates parents, moms,
but parents in general to show up at the polls
in this midterm. Well, you can absolutely bet the Democrats
that's exactly what Democrats are trying to distract women and
moms from using this abortion issue and trying to stoke
gage around abortion. They're trying to make them forget about
(27:58):
what Democrats did to their children over the past couple
of years. I don't think that it's going to work.
I don't think abortion mobilized independent or moderate women as
much as they think that it does, and so I
do think it's an issue. I do think that the
radicalism and school curriculum is going to be an issue.
I think the economy, inflation, the lack of supplies like
(28:22):
baby formula that moms are able to find, I think
that that's going to be far more mobilizing than the
abortion issue, for sure. And I think as the fall
comes and as we see more school board meetings, that
you are going to see that energy kind of reop
once again. But look, it's going to take a lot
of work on the conservative side to make sure that
(28:44):
moms are still aware of that, because look, there's a
lot of propaganda, especially I like to say that white
woman Instagram, especially progressive white woman Instagram, is like the
biggest purveyor of political propaganda that exists, and so it's
going to take a lot of effort to reach those
moms and jest, educate and inform those moms to make
(29:04):
sure they know what's going on and why it matters.
I think it's possible, but it's going to take a
lot of efforts. Ali. We agree suburban women hold the

four elections. We need to get you on again sometime soon.

podcast make sure you don't miss a moment. Buck, I
saw this story and I thought, hey, this is a
good one to finish off the show with. So. Kim jongoon,
dictatorial authoritarian leader of North Korea, has decided that he
(31:20):
is going to begin banning certain fashions that he finds
to be unacceptable in his country, and among those facts,
this is a real story among those fashions. I saw
this and I was like, hey, you know what, maybe
Kim Jongoon's got In general, I disagree with most of
what he says, but he might be right on this one.
(31:41):
He says that skinny jeans are no longer appropriate to
be worn in North Korea, And so it got me
thinking if you could ban anything, if you were, did
you know, total control of a country, and you decided
you want to get involved in what was and what
was not permissible. He's also by the way he has
(32:01):
banned dyed hair. He has banned particular hair lengths and
clothing that features large foreign wording in addition to skinny jeans. So, Buck,
this is a quote by the way, the Youth League's
patrols are cracking down on young people who wear long
(32:23):
hair down to their waist and those who dye their
hair brown, as well as people who wear clothes with
large foreign letters and women who wear tight pants. So
this is this is a major onslaught here of Kim Jongoon.
What would you ban? This is very strange, Clay, because
in this country, the commies in places like Brooklyn are
the ones wearing the skinny jeans and gen right, So
(32:46):
apparently this is a COMMI in North Korea who's saying
no more skinny jeans. I would say, if we're banning she,
I don't really know what's in fashion right now, so
I can't join men't you know. I'd have to go
back quite a way. I'm a I'm a sweatshirt and
like roomy pants kind of guy with my wolf and
(33:06):
shepherd shoes, with our course. But I gotta tell you, man,
there are sometimes in the past where I've been like, no, nope, no,
this is bad in the recent past, and this is
like one of those things where when I share an idea,
like I don't know, maybe like when you shared your
Batman movie review for the most recent Batman and one
of us gets crushed over it. It's okay, that was me, everybody,
(33:26):
But for some reason, some people thought it was clay. Uh.
There was do you remember the gaucho pants craze for women?
It was like maybe ten or fifteen years ago. It
was like very baggy, loose pants and they were called
gaucho pants. That was the worst female fashion trend I
think I've ever seen in my life. It would be
like if you cut off mc hammers pants at the cast.
(33:47):
Oh I remember those, Yeah, yeah, yeah. Those were the ugliest,
dumbest things I've ever seen in my life. I said
so at the time, people said, well, you don't know fashion.
I'm like, right, But I also just no reality. Um,
the mom jeans and this is not an offense to
the to the mom's. There a lot of moms out
there list of the show. You know, they're in better
shape than you or me, and they're wearing jeans that
you know, look like their leggings. But I'm just saying
the mom jeans that are up high on the nineteen
(34:10):
eighties were tie waisted, super baggy jeans. Don't look good
on guys, on girls, on anybody. All Right, that was
a bad That was a bad trend. Um. I'm sure
I would ban here's the I would ban turtlenecks on men.
I think the turtleneck maybe what did I put a
chain over it? Though? Clay like the like, uh the
(34:33):
big picture guys, Yeah, no I am. I am one
billion percent anti turtleneck. So I would be if I
could ban any apparel in America today, it would be
the turtleneck. I think, I know one looks good in
the turtleneck. It's like, well, how cold is your neck?
(34:53):
You know? Again this also ties in I'm even more
pro scarf than I am turtleneck. There's never been a
point in time where I was like, hey, you know what,
I'm kind of cold, but if I had my neck covered,
I would be warm. Like that doesn't work that way, right,
So I'm anti turtleneck. You either can wear uh you know,
you can wear a jacket, a hoodie, whatever, But I'm
I would go with a banning of all turtleneck. There
(35:15):
was a time when the turtleneck with the suit blazer
was a thing that you will have to wear. Now,
unless you're a Bulgarian nightclub owner with like a big
Gucci belt buckle on, you're probably not doing the turtleneck
and blazer thing. So I can't or if you're a
bond villain. I think bond villains can pull off turtleneck
(35:36):
and blazer as a general rule. But I'm telling you
right now, there's some there's some folks listen who are
turtleneck and blazer guys. That's mostly a guy, but are
Do you feel as we have a women's turtle turtlenecks
as well? You don't have any? I don't know. I
don't women. First of all, when I've seen the women's turtleneck,
usually it's a pretty tight shirt, right, so like the
like it's a good look on a woman, I don't
(35:57):
think it's a I am old the anti turtlenecks on men.
I just learned my lesson too, because I had a
guy calling to my show years ago, Clay, who said
something only lines of like yoga pants are one of
the greatest advances of Western civilization in the last you know,
one hundred years or something. And I didn't even say anything.
The amount of emails I got got crushed just for
(36:18):
lating this guy say it on the air because women
thought it was very sexist. So I just think people
should wear makes the uncomfortable. I stay away from the fashion.
I'm gonna go pick up my kids this afternoon, and
I will be like the only person not wearing yoga
pants at the kid pick. Gotta get you some Lula
Lemon for guys, Clay, they make it, you're fancy. They
don't make yoga pants for men, do they make Lulu
(36:40):
Lemon pants, which is a yoga company for men. They're right,
but they're not like they're not like really tight that
I own a pair. I don't know, Ned Dean, I
I don't even know about this stuff. Just long you
don't only turtlenecks and God bless yoga pants. See you tomorrow.
Everybody fleets. Ab sent Buck Sexton on the front lines
(37:03):
of truth.
