Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome to today's edition of The Clay Travis and Buck
Sexton Show podcast. Second hour of The Clay Travis and
Buck Sexton Show under way. You're an NYC with my
main man, Clay. We had a great event last night
celebrating the one year anniversary of our show together. So
thank you to all of you who came out and
(00:21):
everyone who said nice things about the startorial flair that
Clay and I brought to the event. You know, we
were blazers, fancy stuff. Got to meet your mom and dad.
Your dad's gonna be on the show at two thirty.
That was a lot of fun. They obviously live up
here in New York. We had a ton of guests
who had been on the show that came out. It
was just a good time all around. They did a
fantastic job setting it up. A lot of our friends
(00:42):
from this show, guests, people like Carol Markowitz, David Marcus,
Emily Campanyo was there, Tommy Larne was there from Fox.
I mean, we got it. Was a lot of people,
so I not gonna lit to rattle of it. Our
man Joe Barelli from Staten Island, the stage of Statin
We had so many people show up. We really appreciated that.
Speaking of people showing up, we got some guests that'll
be joining us shortly here. Governor Kemp of Georgia will
(01:07):
be with us. He has an announcement, right so I
think it's already public. But part of his discussion is
going to be they're gonna get in Atlanta the World Cup.
But he's got a big race going against Stacy Abrams,
so I bet he'll teach because my tea sounded less
exciting with the well fuck, everyone already knows, like, well,
he's going away. I didn't say it's an announcement. No
one's heard, so he'll announce something that maybe has been announced,
(01:28):
but it is. It's a big deal, and obviously Georgia
is Is Georgia the most important state in terms of
some of the races that are up, And it's certainly
I think you could argue in the top I think four.
I think it's number one if you think about Abrahams
versus Kemp, and you think about herschel Walker versus war
To have a monster governor's race and a monster Senate
(01:51):
race in the same state that was one of the
tightest in the twenty twenty presidential election. I think Georgia
is ground z for what I hope is going to
be a red wave or red tsunami that is going
to sweep across the country. We've also got Senator Marsha
Blackburn speaking of the Senate. She'll be joining us in
the third Hour program, and my dad will be joining
(02:13):
us a little Father's Day chat. We appreciate those you
sent in questions and email questions, called in with questions,
and he will answer them, and that will certainly be
a fun session for all of us. I did want
to mention Clay pointed this out to me, so sometimes
I want to get to the latest from the Mayor
of New York City here, Eric Adams, who is apparently
(02:35):
a big proponent among other politicians, prominent Democrats, all of
them who aren't just okay with drag Queen story hour
for children in schools paid for by taxpayers. They kind
of demand it, and if you don't think it's a
great idea, you're a bigots. That's what this has turned into.
Now we'll get to that in a moment, but first
(02:57):
I just wanted to take a little detour into that
the White House is scrambling so much Remember we played
for you a montage of the Biden administrate or Biden
running for office. I should say where he's basically telling
you that oil and natural gas or evil and if
he could, he would snap his fingers and make it
(03:18):
all illegal tomorrow, which is completely insane and would lead
to the destruction of our economy or a way of
life and mass starvation. And I really mean that. I
mean if you actually got rid of fossil fuel tomorrow,
if you just said it is illegal, our entire economy
and way of life would collapse. But they talk about this,
They yearn for this. Biden himself yearns for this. Even
go back to Obama. Remember if my energy policy would
(03:40):
mean that electric electricity prices would skyrocket, that was a
big SoundBite from the Obama era. And now we have
a White House that's trying to come up with anything
they can to turn things around. So what are they
going to do? Gas rebate card plan was out there.
So the way this was gonna work, and this was
the Washington Post, was that senior White House aids, we're
(04:03):
thinking about a rebate card for your gas prices, basically
just hoping to take a little of the sting out
until you vote. And then once they've fooled people with
the voting situation, then who cares? Right, once they've gotten
past the actual accountability moment, Democrats don't care about the
peasants not being able to afford gas, not really, They
just don't want to lose power. But I love this Clay.
(04:24):
This is amazing because there is a chip shortage right
now among all of our supply chain and shortage issues.
The Democrats couldn't implement the giving you money back for
your gas because because they don't actually have the chips
for the rebate cards to make your gas price less painful.
(04:45):
This is how this is a perfect representation of how
flawed everything Biden is doing is. They are desperately scrambling
because the number one thing, as we talked about start
the first hour, that is driving Americans consumers crazy is
in And the number one biggest issue with inflation that
people see and interact with on a regular basis is
(05:07):
the price of gas, which is in an all time high.
So again to reiterate what the Biden administration did, they're
sitting around spitballing all these different ideas. By the way,
produce more gas is the answer. In America, so we
don't have to go to Venezuela, so we don't have
to go to beg Saudi Arabia, so we don't have
(05:28):
to put an awful nuclear deal in place in Iran.
All of those things are what we're doing to try
to get them to produce more gas. And we've obviously
got the issue with Russia. But they say we'll just
give people money back. First of all, it pours more
money out there. Where is the money coming from? Isn't
it isn't an inflationary Yeah, give people, That's what I'm saying,
(05:51):
more money on the right. But this is what this
is where they're thinking, is, hey, we got this inflation problem.
I got an idea. Let's give people more free money
so they're not as aware of the inflation problems. And
also theoretically this would help to increase demand on some level.
Right when the government gives you money to go buy
more gas. It's all stupid and nonsensical and evidence of
(06:13):
the Biden White House's inability to solve any problems. But
they can't even rectify it. They can't even implement it
because we can't produce the cards that would allow people
to get their money back for gas because the supply
chain mess is so bad that we don't have the
(06:35):
chips to put into the cards to make this a
viable option. It is just a comedy of errors President
Harris on the rebate card issue. But the newly elected
member of Congress from Texas is thirty fourth Myra Flores
had some pretty poignant analysis here. It's cut sixteen. Here
(06:58):
she is when the issue of the vice president's competency
came up. She's honestly useless. I don't know why she's
in that position. She hasn't been here in South Texas
to see what their policies are creating, the mess that
they're they're creating in our country, and that their policies
(07:19):
are hurting real people's that's what. It's hard not to
laugh when you hear that devastating. This is, by the way,
the new congresswoman elect, Mira Flores in the Texas thirty
four district that we talked about a couple of days ago,
who has won an overwhelming victory in a district that
Democrats had controlled for over one hundred years. And her
(07:42):
husband is a border patrol agent. She was born in Mexico.
She's the first person to ever be elected from Mexico
woman to the United States Congress and speaking of idiocy,
Kamala Harris honestly useless. Did you see Buck that the
also useless Jamel Hill, who previously worked at ESPN and
called Donald Trump a white supremacist? Said Elon Musk, who
(08:06):
announced that Myra Floras was the first Republican that he
had ever voted for, was a white supremacist for voting
evidently for a Hispanic woman. And by the way, Myra
Flora has also reacted to that. I believe this is
from Fox News. I was watching this interview. She said
she was really happy to get the Elon Musk support.
(08:26):
This is cut seventeen. I really loved this new congresswoman
from Texas, honestly, very I was very happy and I
can't thank him enough for all he's doing for for
my district. We need more of people like him that
believe in us, and he's been investing in this area
for a long time, and honestly, we're all grateful that
(08:48):
he is investing here in our district. And I'm grateful
to him for supporting me and not because this also
is not just about me, It's about the people here
in Texas District thirty four that deserve prosperity in this area.
She I mean, to her credit, is setting the table
(09:08):
for what is going to be a Republican tsunami. So
we should mention I know a lot of you listen
in Texas thirty four that they are redrawing the district
borders there. So she is the congresswoman elect right now.
She'll serve at least until November, and hopefully she will
be able to win a full term when that twenty
twenty two election happens. But she's right, Kamala Harris is honestly,
(09:32):
honestly useless. And all of these policies that are designed
to lower what you're having to pay for gas and
oil and everything out there are honestly useless too. They
can't even be implemented. And to me, this is perfect
evidence that they have no idea how to solve and
fix the issues. Well, we can just turn to the
brilliance of Secretary of Energy Jen Graholm, who has all
(09:57):
kinds of ideas that will really help bring down the
price of gas. Clay in about thirty years after we've
erased trillions of dollars of wealth through government regulation to
force technologies onto us that are inefficient and that have
tremendous costs on the environment. Anyway, five years from now,
ten years from now, are you telling me you want
(10:19):
them drilling for more oil, you want the refineries putting
out more gasoline in five or ten years. What we're
saying is today we need that supply increased, of course
in five or ten years actually, and in the immediate
we are also pressing on the accelerator, if you will,
to move toward clean energy so that we don't have
to be under the thumb of petro dictators like Putin,
(10:40):
or at the whim of the volatility of fossil fuels. Ultimately,
America will be most secure when we can rely upon
our own clean, domestic production of energy. And that's the
problem for these companies. These companies are saying, you know,
you're asking me to do more now, invest more now,
when in fact, five or ten years from now, we
don't think that man will be there, and the administration
(11:02):
doesn't even necessarily want it to be there. Credit to
see an a guy for asking the real question. By
the way, he's right, they want gas production up Clay
Between Friday June seventeenth and election guests, and then they
want it down again and they want windmills. If you
were that's a fantastic question. If you were right now
(11:25):
an energy executive, and we had some great calls yesterday
discussing oil and gas prices, why would you invest in
production massively when you know that the administration doesn't have
your back in the years ahead. Why would you invest
in the infrastructure and the cost when they are trying
to cut your legs out from under you? And directly
(11:48):
to your point, Buck, this isn't a long term solution.
This is a short term. Let's not get destroyed in
the midterms, and then as we do the run up
to twenty twenty four and on into the future, Democrats
don't believe that gas and oil should be produced in
America at a high level. And also, by the way,
let's talk about this. A lot of these charging stations,
(12:10):
a lot of this electricity that is theoretically clean is
being produced by oil and gas. Have you seen some
of these stories, which to me deserve far more attention,
many of these charging stations. I saw a great interview
in Michigan where Democrats were bragging about how they had
produced all these new electric vehicle charging stations, and then
(12:34):
someone said, well, wait a minute, what is producing all
of this electricity that's going to be able to be
used to charge cars? And the head of the city
where they're doing all this clean energy said, oh, it's
coming from our coal plant. So you are using the
energy produced by a coal plant to help to power
(12:54):
the electricity so that the electric cars can get electric
clean vehicles. But it's coming from coal, And we don't
have conversations enough about this. Much of our clean energy
is actually deriving from traditional methods and manners of producing
oil and gas. And if you want everyone to drive
an electric car, you would have to dramatically increase the
(13:17):
output of rare earth minerals necessary for the batteries, which
means mining a whole lot more mining, which you want
to do. That fine, but the left hates that too.
They hate this. They look folks. They just want the
peasants riding their bicycles, not even necessarily their East scooters
clay because if I'm getting my eat scooter juice from
(13:38):
coal unacceptable. By the way, the key Man insurance policy
that the radio station wanted to take out on you,
the key Man insurance is evidently now offensive. It's key
person insurance. So you can't even say a key man
because you're excluding women evidently when you talk about that.
So when you take undertake, you're highly risky scooter riding
(13:59):
all over the city of New York key person insurance.
I don't want to offend anybody out there. Have you
seen where the price of housing seems to be going
in a lot of places right now? It's not moving
into good direction. Folks. We know that the economy is
in for a rough ride and things are getting tough
right now in a variety of capacities. Dollars are worth less.
(14:20):
Inflations hitting all over the place. How do you take
some action? How do you protect yourself? How about gold?
I've been buying gold for years. I mean, what could
be more stable, more durable, more long lasting as a
store of value than actual gold and silver you can
hold in your hands. Your savings account right now? Is
you know, is losing value month after month. Diversify. Take
(14:44):
some action today so that you know you have a
hedge against inflation and you have something that you control
and hold in your possession, real gold and silver. You
could also have real gold and silver. Put in your
four oh one k which you know these days you've
got to be very mindful of your four oh one
K two. The Oxford Gold Group is who I trust
for my gold and silver purchases. I'm going to be
(15:06):
adding to my holdings. So if you've bought gold, it's
over in the past. Now's the time to step up
and get ahead of the curve on this. If you've
never bought before, the Oxford Gold Group will explain what
makes sense for you. Talk to them about what you're
looking to do, your budget, and they want long term customers,
people who are going to be coming back like me
after years saying time for me to add to the
gold that I hold. Call the Oxford Gold Group. Eight

Sexton Show. It's the fiftieth anniversary roughly of Watergate to
the beginning of the end of the Richard Nixon presidency,
(15:49):
and certainly everything that has occurred in terms of political
scandals gets a gate affixed to it. It's become so commonplace.
But Carl Bernstein, this obsession with trying to turn January
sixth into the worst thing that has ever happened in
the history of the country. Carl Bernstein says that January
(16:13):
sixth was worse than the Civil War, the secession that
we saw from Jefferson Davis, who, when he left to
become the President of the Confederacy prior to that, had
been a senator from Mississippi. Listen to this. We don't
know what Marrick Carlin is going to do, and there
is a tremendous weight on his shoulders because this is
worse than Watergate. The Justice Department now has to make
(16:37):
a decision because it's very clear that the President Donald
Trump violated the law, no question, There's no question about
his seditious actions. The last sedition we had in this
country on any kind of scale was Jefferson Davis, the
president of the Confederacy. And Trump even outdid Jefferson Davis.
(16:59):
He committed the United States under him as the chief
officer of the United States Government. He committed it to
trying to stage an illegal coup. Oh stop, did Jefferson
Davis did? The head of the Confederacy. We have made
fun of the fact on this show that I am
(17:20):
a huge Civil War history buff. I even went to
Civil War sleepaway Camp January sixth is nothing like the
Civil War. And Jefferson Davis, who led the Confederacy as
the president of a country that was at war at
the time with the United States, is nothing like what
(17:40):
Donald Trump did. First of all, the continued attempt to
call this a coup is so outside the bounds of
reasonable discussion that it is an insult to anyone with
a functional brain that this would still be going on.
You know, it's Father's Day coming up, and I gave
my dad a gift quite a while ago that on
all of you to try out too, because if you
(18:02):

and Buck Sexton Show. Governor Briant Kemp of the Great
set of Georgia is with us now. Governor, thanks for
(19:03):
calling in. Appreciate you. Hey, great to be back. Guys.
How's it going? We're good. So you know, we were
just talking before you called in about absolutely critical states
and races going into the mid term. How are you
feeling about the GOP in Georgia's statewide and then more specifically,
of course your showdown with the Democrat candidates Stacy Abrams
(19:27):
just a matter of months before the votes will be cast. Well, look,
I feel great. You know, a lot of momentum for
our campaign coming out of the primary, but little my
ultimate goal of my focus the whole race has been
on making sure Stacy Abrams is not our governor or
your next president, because we know that's what she wants
to do. And I think Georgians are realizing that, you know,
(19:49):
Biden abrams agenda that she embraced and helped to put
in place in Washington, DC is not working out so
well as forty year high inflation. People are getting crushed
when they go to the grocery store, when they go
to the hardware store, and they're certainly getting crushed when
they go to the gas pumps. And this administration is
just tone deaf to what fixes that and what they
(20:09):
need to do. And there's a lot of other disasters
all over, as you know, down at the border and
other things. And that's the same way that she would
take our state. So that's why we're in a fight
for the soul of our state. We're working hard every day,
and you know, we got a lot of great partners
that I'm gonna be on the ticket with who have
been had great success in the state of Georgia. We're
having lowest our unemployment rate dropped again, believe it or not,
(20:32):
the lowest it's ever been. We've got by far, the
most people ever working in our state. And we're doing
a lot of things, guys, to help Georgians fight through
this forty year high inflation. I've suspended the gas tax,
so we've got the lowest gas in the country right now,
even though it's still outrageous because of the administration's policies.
We're also sending a billion dollars back to the taxpayers,
(20:53):
so they got a little more money in their pocket,
as well as doing a tax cut. And think Abraham's
is criticized. Stacy Abrams also, Governor, appreciate you coming on.
This is Clay. Stacy Abrams also got a big shout
out from Joe Biden recently. And I think you're right.
I think she's trying to use the platform of the
governor's office in Georgia if she were to win to
(21:14):
try and run for president of the United States. You're
the incumbent governor there. I think you're going to kick
her ass and win comfortably. That's my breakdown. What is
the impact if Stacy Abrams were to win in Georgia?
What would happen? Well, that's the thing, guys, I mean,
Stacy Abrams doesn't really care about our state. You know,
she's been all over the countries selling her books, she's
(21:36):
you know, she was in Hollywood with all these celebrities
last week raising tens of millions of dollars, and it's
all you know, she cares more about their policies than
she cares about how hard working Georgians are feeling right now.
And that's why she said, you know, this is the
worst state in the country to live in. I obviously
disagree with that. I think it's the greatest state in
(21:56):
the country to live, work and raise our families. You know,
a lot of success our people who have been very
resilient fought through COVID, and you know they've been free
to be able to do that. Unlike her policies of
want mandates and criticizing us reopening the economy, criticizing us
when we're getting our kids back in the classroom. You know,
I don't have to remind you all about criticizing us
(22:18):
over a strong Elections Integrity Act and make it easy
to vote and harder to cheat. And she pressured Major
League Baseball in the players Association so the All Star
Game was moved, and you know, she didn't care about
how that was going to affect small business owners in
Georgia or our state. But you know what, people realize
that that's not where they are. And they saw it
(22:39):
in our primary last you know, just a few weeks ago,
where we had record turnouts. So I mean people know
that they're just selling a bill of goods that have
been lying to folks. And I've been sitting up there
being transparent with people and putting them first over the
policymakers like Joe Biden, and she's cozying up too and Washington,
DC or the liberal elite out in Hollywood that are
(23:00):
funding her campaign. I care more about our people, Georgian's
than you know, raising a lot of money from people
that are going to tell me what to do when
I get an office. Joe Biden said, in fact, you
just referenced that primary turnout. He said that what you
guys had passed in Georgia was Jim Crow two point zero.
You reference Major League Baseball pulling the All Star Game
(23:20):
out of Atlanta, but also coching Delta teed off two
businesses that are based in the Atlanta area. Have any
of those CEOs reached back out to you and said, hey,
you know what you were right in election turnout has
actually grown. You strengthened the security for voting now in
Georgia or are they just pretending they never made the
(23:41):
statements that they did. Well. I think they're just keeping
their head down. But you know, I'm more focused on,
you know, what people in Georgia think, and they know
that I was truthful to them over one year ago
explaining what we did in the bill, and they know
that even more now after seeing the record turnout. And
it's easy to voting, hard to cheat here. You know,
(24:01):
the folks that were criticizing me, neither one of them
can vote here. So I'm not too worried about what
they think. I'm worried about putting Georgian's first. That's what
I campaigned on in twenty and eighteen. That's been what
I've been doing every single day that I've been governor
of this great state. And that's what i want to
continue to do in the future, which is why Marty
and the girls and I are out there working so hard.
(24:23):
I mean, we're big believers in our state. I believe
our best days they are ahead, despite you know, the
just horrific agenda of Di Biden administration has turned our
country upside down in a year and a half. I'm
still very optimistic. We're seeing great economic growth. I just
left a groundbreaking for a metal recycling company, first of
(24:48):
the kind in the United States is the German based company.
They're involved in besting over four hundred billion dollars in
the Augusta area. They have a little golf tournament down
there by the way, and it's just a great another
great opportunity to put hard working people to work. But
that company is going to grow over the next decade
and it's going to give their kids and their grandkids opportunities.
(25:08):
And that's what this is all about. Governor camp I
saw that the announcement came out that Atlanta is going
to be a host site for the twenty twenty six
World Cup. How excited are you for that being brought
to your state and what that will mean in a
few years time. Well, it's going to be incredible. And
I said this last night when we were at the
press conference with Mayor Dickens and the whole state Chamber
(25:32):
of Commerce team, all the convention and visitors bureaus folks
and the Metro Lanta Chamber of Commerce and a lot
of other folks that worked on this. Really a state
local partnership it's going to be incredible, and it's a
hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of billions of dollars of
economic impact. It's going to be great for small business owners.
You know, we'd love to get one of them. Oh,
(25:54):
I think we may have lost the governor there, but
this is a big deal. They got the World Cup.
I was gonna ask him. I'm gonna be out in
Atlanta doing our show next week. Buck and the Braves,
I believe have won fourteen games in a row. I'm
not sure they're ever going to lose again, but that
was Governor Brian Kimp need to be out there supporting,
and we got a monster audience all over Georgia. He
needs to beat Stacy Abrahams and by the way, herschel
(26:14):
Walker needs to beat the Reverend Raphael Warnuck in that
Senate race too. Last night we had our one year
anniversary party and Caroline from Tunnels to Towers was there.
Fantastic supporters of this show, and we're honored to be
doing work for them because they started construction on their
Do Good Village in Landa Lakes, Florida, first of its kind,
one of the most ambitious projects taken on by this foundation.
(26:36):
It's community of one hundred and ten homes for the
Foundations program recipients for families who have lost a loved
one and our war on terror or in the line
of duty as a first responder. It's a special place
where families know their neighbors, understand and care. The Foundations
do good village going to help these families beyond measure.
All thinks to the extraordinary donations of many acres of
(26:58):
land and your generosity. So many of you have supported
the Foundation for years. You can see your contributions making
a real difference for these families. Help America's greatest heroes
and their families healed. Together. Join us in making a
donation every month. Donate eleven dollars a month to Tunnel
to Towers at T two T dot org. That's t
the number two T dot org. Welcome back, Clay Travis
(27:22):
buck Sexton show underway here eight hundred two eight two
to eight eight two on the phone lines. It's gonna
be h ballow me. It's gonna be a bit, a
bit on the steamy side for a big section of
the country, looking at even places like Illinois, all through
the Midwest, over one hundred degree weather, so stay cool
(27:45):
out there this week. Yet everybody's listening from those parts
of the country. I think it's gonna be really hot
here in New York City too, Tennessee, Clay, I think
it's gonna get hit by the heat waves. So no
doubt it's gonna be It's gonna be a warm one,
so make sure you hydrate, hydrate, graduate and that's an
important one. We also have got some calls coming up.
But we've got the Senator of Tennessee, Senator from not
(28:07):
the only one, but Senator from Tennessee, Marshall Blackburn, joining
us at two o'clock. And then my dad, Mason speed Sexton,
we'll be joining in the next hour for some father's
day in studio here in New York. Yes, he's going
to be hanging out with us, so that'll be exciting.
We can ask him if you got any questions you
want to have a thrown in the mix, you can
(28:27):
hit us up with them now. And Clay, did you
have any breaking news times running before we get to
We got a whole bunch of lines lit anybody you
want to anything you want to throw out there or
should I just hop into it? Two things quickly. There
are reports that the gun bill that was much ballyhood
maybe falling apart a bit over the language, because we
(28:49):
still haven't seen the draft language in this bipartisan gun
violence bill, whatever you want to call it. Also, i'll
just mention this, Joe Biden has already left for his
beach house eleven am Eastern. He left the White House
to head away for the weekend. Remember he didn't get
to the White House until twelve thirty on Monday, coming
(29:12):
back from Delaware, So he arrived halfway through the day
on Monday, he left halfway through the day on Friday. Now,
you can say the guy can work anywhere, and I
understand that argument. But when you are the worst president
in history, I think modern history, isn't it maybe the
wrong signal to be sending that you're showing up late
(29:35):
for work at the White House on Monday and leaving
early on Friday. Well, there's also the part of me
that says, the guy's almost eighty, you know, if he
wants to get some time on the beach and read.
Are we allowed to read James Patterson novels? Again? Well,
he's apologized, he's apologized, that was old white guy but
he's apologized for saying things that are unacceptable about old
(29:57):
white Ever, I don't want to be grudge by I
didn't in his nearly eightieth year spending some time at
the beach with the family. He just shouldn't be president
while he's doing this stuff. That that's the problem, right,
I mean, you know, you want to spend time with
the fam at the beach. Biden should be long since retired,
and instead he is letting the country slip deeper into
(30:18):
the economic abyss with each passing day. You know, if
I just wish there were one person, Clay, we talk
about this pretty pretty frequently in recent weeks, one person
the administration points you'd say, all that person really seems
squared away. I understand, just one, you know, to be fair.
For example, I mean, you know Larry Summers when he
(30:39):
was when he was a Treasury secretary. He's a Democrat,
is smart guy, though, was one of the heralds of
inflation that was going to come on the Democrat side.
He said he predicted perfectly exactly where we were headed
with inflation. You know, there's there's some others that are
that coming up. Even we've we've actually quoted him a
few times because he's been saying Democrats are lucky they
didn't get the spending they wanted because inflation would be
(31:01):
even worse. But Ratner, who was the autos are under
Obama again a Democrat, but understands how a business works
and has some understanding of the markets. The people we
keep hearing from this administration, I'm like, did they so
they're just walking around the Wesleyan faculty lounge and saying,
who wants to explain macroeconomic theory when gas prices are
through the roof because it's not going well. I don't
(31:22):
even think they analyzed any of the skill sets for
the people that are in their administration. I think they
just decided we have to have certain measures of cosmetic
diversity and throw people into the cabinet almost one hundred
percent predicated on that. We've got Tom in Colorado, who's
a retired electric lineman. Tom, what's going on, sir? I
(31:44):
just wanted a little plenty of information all these electric cars,
I think in a charger when there's a brown out,
in a blackout and the power company's don't have enough
capacity to run these charging stations, it's a fantastic question
I don't think it's asked hardly at all. Yeah, what happens,
I mean, can go right, But if you if you're
talking about electric car. And also we had that article
(32:07):
you mentioned the New York Journal Wall Street Journal where
there are some charging stations. You gotta wait three hours
for a charge. That's a lot longer than the five
minutes it takes to fill your tank with gas. Journal
reporter tried to drive from New Orleans to Chicago and
back and detailed how awful it was for a long
range trip in an electric vehicle. It was almost impossible
(32:30):
for her to get that thing charged. A lot of
the charging stations didn't work. May work around your neighborhood,
may work in your home when you're able to plug
it in at night, but if you're on the road
for a long drive, what she described felt and would
be miserable. Tom, are you expecting or somebody who knows
how this stuff goes? Are you expecting brown outs and
blackouts based on what you're seeing on the grid? Well,
(32:52):
basically the greatest odd data they just never kept up.
That's a sad part. Oh man, Okay, Well, ideal, have
a good weekend off. Tom's like you know, smoke him
if you got him. Yeah, Um, Chuck in Kentucky, Chuck,
what's going on? Yes, Sarah, I think Rush be proud
of y'all whether they run a show. Thanks a lot. Okay,
(33:13):
I was just shot. They're coming out trying to tell
these parents their children need these shots from five years
to six months. And oh a lot of the doctors
are saying, we need to be getting away from this shot.
And the same people that are pushing this shot are
the ones pushing all these drugs for these transgender children.
(33:35):
It's true. Six changes. That is correct. Thanks for the call. Look,
we had doctor Marty McCarry on the show this week,
JOHNS Hopkins, highly trained medical expert, and he broke down
for us the detailed data on kids and COVID. If
you are getting in my opinion, if you have a
(33:56):
young child and you are getting them, and we're talking
about six month olds to five year olds potentially able
to get these shots as soon as as Monday, I
think you are crazy because your kid probably has already
had COVID. I also think you're crazy if you are
giving hormone altering sex drugs to your children under the
(34:16):
age of eighteen and Buck, the vast majority I believe
the population agrees with me now on both of those things.
Can we just take a moment also because I think
mister Chuck and Kentucky had had very astutely pointed out
that the people that want the shots for very young children,
vaccinations for very young children for COVID specifically are also
very pro trans trans transformation, transgender for well. Well now,
(34:45):
the most recent guidance from a major um um pediatric association,
and I'm just trying to find it here, is that
they transgender kids are okay for hormones at fourteen surgery
at fifteen. Online. I didn't see that, but a lot
of the people that are going to say that's fine,
freak out, Clay. If you don't get them the hormone
(35:07):
free milk at the store, or you don't get them
the no pesticide apples at whole Foods. I mean, I really,
you know, you see how this is fad driven by
so many people or in so many ways. Instead of
hold on a second, what are we really doing here?
What are the real consequences? Forget about what influencers are
telling people on TikTok or on Twitter. What is the
(35:29):
reality of the long term consequences of these. I mean,
the surgeries are discussing are absolutely not reversible. Just to
start with that, you shouldn't be able and we should
have more Republican legislatures, and I believe Republican governors signing
bills to finding what this is. It's child abuse. If
you have a fourteen year old getting their genitals cut
(35:52):
off so that they can change their gender, it's so
peak maddness that this could ever be occurring anywhere in
the United States. To me, it is indisputably child And
this is mainstream Democrat dogman. Now, just to be clear,
Biden's White House supports this. It's not. This is no
longer a fringe of the left or anything else. If
(36:15):
you go against this, and the Mayor of New York
will come back to this the next hour. He's in
favor of this stuff. He's in favor of drag Queen
story hour for kids. This is now the Democrat party
you're dealing with. And notice how it's all happened under Biden,
old guy Biden's lot. This has gone down almost like
he was a trojan horse, and this whole thing was
(36:37):
built on lies. Fleet Travis and buck Sexton on the
front lines of truth
Welcome to today's edition of The Clay Travis and Buck
Sexton Show podcast. Second hour of The Clay Travis and
Buck Sexton Show under way. You're an NYC with my
main man, Clay. We had a great event last night
celebrating the one year anniversary of our show together. So
thank you to all of you who came out and
(00:21):
everyone who said nice things about the startorial flair that
Clay and I brought to the event. You know, we
were blazers, fancy stuff. Got to meet your mom and dad.
Your dad's gonna be on the show at two thirty.
That was a lot of fun. They obviously live up
here in New York. We had a ton of guests
who had been on the show that came out. It
was just a good time all around. They did a
fantastic job setting it up. A lot of our friends
(00:42):
from this show, guests, people like Carol Markowitz, David Marcus,
Emily Campanyo was there, Tommy Larne was there from Fox.
I mean, we got it. Was a lot of people,
so I not gonna lit to rattle of it. Our
man Joe Barelli from Staten Island, the stage of Statin
We had so many people show up. We really appreciated that.
Speaking of people showing up, we got some guests that'll
be joining us shortly here. Governor Kemp of Georgia will
(01:07):
be with us. He has an announcement, right so I
think it's already public. But part of his discussion is
going to be they're gonna get in Atlanta the World Cup.
But he's got a big race going against Stacy Abrams,
so I bet he'll teach because my tea sounded less
exciting with the well fuck, everyone already knows, like, well,
he's going away. I didn't say it's an announcement. No
one's heard, so he'll announce something that maybe has been announced,
(01:28):
but it is. It's a big deal, and obviously Georgia
is Is Georgia the most important state in terms of
some of the races that are up, And it's certainly
I think you could argue in the top I think four.
I think it's number one if you think about Abrahams
versus Kemp, and you think about herschel Walker versus war
To have a monster governor's race and a monster Senate
(01:51):
race in the same state that was one of the
tightest in the twenty twenty presidential election. I think Georgia
is ground z for what I hope is going to
be a red wave or red tsunami that is going
to sweep across the country. We've also got Senator Marsha
Blackburn speaking of the Senate. She'll be joining us in
the third Hour program, and my dad will be joining
(02:13):
us a little Father's Day chat. We appreciate those you
sent in questions and email questions, called in with questions,
and he will answer them, and that will certainly be
a fun session for all of us. I did want
to mention Clay pointed this out to me, so sometimes
I want to get to the latest from the Mayor
of New York City here, Eric Adams, who is apparently
(02:35):
a big proponent among other politicians, prominent Democrats, all of
them who aren't just okay with drag Queen story hour
for children in schools paid for by taxpayers. They kind
of demand it, and if you don't think it's a
great idea, you're a bigots. That's what this has turned into.
Now we'll get to that in a moment, but first
(02:57):
I just wanted to take a little detour into that
the White House is scrambling so much Remember we played
for you a montage of the Biden administrate or Biden
running for office. I should say where he's basically telling
you that oil and natural gas or evil and if
he could, he would snap his fingers and make it
(03:18):
all illegal tomorrow, which is completely insane and would lead
to the destruction of our economy or a way of
life and mass starvation. And I really mean that. I
mean if you actually got rid of fossil fuel tomorrow,
if you just said it is illegal, our entire economy
and way of life would collapse. But they talk about this,
They yearn for this. Biden himself yearns for this. Even
go back to Obama. Remember if my energy policy would
(03:40):
mean that electric electricity prices would skyrocket, that was a
big SoundBite from the Obama era. And now we have
a White House that's trying to come up with anything
they can to turn things around. So what are they
going to do? Gas rebate card plan was out there.
So the way this was gonna work, and this was
the Washington Post, was that senior White House aids, we're
(04:03):
thinking about a rebate card for your gas prices, basically
just hoping to take a little of the sting out
until you vote. And then once they've fooled people with
the voting situation, then who cares? Right, once they've gotten
past the actual accountability moment, Democrats don't care about the
peasants not being able to afford gas, not really, They
just don't want to lose power. But I love this Clay.
(04:24):
This is amazing because there is a chip shortage right
now among all of our supply chain and shortage issues.
The Democrats couldn't implement the giving you money back for
your gas because because they don't actually have the chips
for the rebate cards to make your gas price less painful.
(04:45):
This is how this is a perfect representation of how
flawed everything Biden is doing is. They are desperately scrambling
because the number one thing, as we talked about start
the first hour, that is driving Americans consumers crazy is
in And the number one biggest issue with inflation that
people see and interact with on a regular basis is
(05:07):
the price of gas, which is in an all time high.
So again to reiterate what the Biden administration did, they're
sitting around spitballing all these different ideas. By the way,
produce more gas is the answer. In America, so we
don't have to go to Venezuela, so we don't have
to go to beg Saudi Arabia, so we don't have
(05:28):
to put an awful nuclear deal in place in Iran.
All of those things are what we're doing to try
to get them to produce more gas. And we've obviously
got the issue with Russia. But they say we'll just
give people money back. First of all, it pours more
money out there. Where is the money coming from? Isn't
it isn't an inflationary Yeah, give people, That's what I'm saying,
(05:51):
more money on the right. But this is what this
is where they're thinking, is, hey, we got this inflation problem.
I got an idea. Let's give people more free money
so they're not as aware of the inflation problems. And
also theoretically this would help to increase demand on some level.
Right when the government gives you money to go buy
more gas. It's all stupid and nonsensical and evidence of
(06:13):
the Biden White House's inability to solve any problems. But
they can't even rectify it. They can't even implement it
because we can't produce the cards that would allow people
to get their money back for gas because the supply
chain mess is so bad that we don't have the
(06:35):
chips to put into the cards to make this a
viable option. It is just a comedy of errors President
Harris on the rebate card issue. But the newly elected
member of Congress from Texas is thirty fourth Myra Flores
had some pretty poignant analysis here. It's cut sixteen. Here
(06:58):
she is when the issue of the vice president's competency
came up. She's honestly useless. I don't know why she's
in that position. She hasn't been here in South Texas
to see what their policies are creating, the mess that
they're they're creating in our country, and that their policies
(07:19):
are hurting real people's that's what. It's hard not to
laugh when you hear that devastating. This is, by the way,
the new congresswoman elect, Mira Flores in the Texas thirty
four district that we talked about a couple of days ago,
who has won an overwhelming victory in a district that
Democrats had controlled for over one hundred years. And her
(07:42):
husband is a border patrol agent. She was born in Mexico.
She's the first person to ever be elected from Mexico
woman to the United States Congress and speaking of idiocy,
Kamala Harris honestly useless. Did you see Buck that the
also useless Jamel Hill, who previously worked at ESPN and
called Donald Trump a white supremacist? Said Elon Musk, who
(08:06):
announced that Myra Floras was the first Republican that he
had ever voted for, was a white supremacist for voting
evidently for a Hispanic woman. And by the way, Myra
Flora has also reacted to that. I believe this is
from Fox News. I was watching this interview. She said
she was really happy to get the Elon Musk support.
(08:26):
This is cut seventeen. I really loved this new congresswoman
from Texas, honestly, very I was very happy and I
can't thank him enough for all he's doing for for
my district. We need more of people like him that
believe in us, and he's been investing in this area
for a long time, and honestly, we're all grateful that
(08:48):
he is investing here in our district. And I'm grateful
to him for supporting me and not because this also
is not just about me, It's about the people here
in Texas District thirty four that deserve prosperity in this area.
She I mean, to her credit, is setting the table
(09:08):
for what is going to be a Republican tsunami. So
we should mention I know a lot of you listen
in Texas thirty four that they are redrawing the district
borders there. So she is the congresswoman elect right now.
She'll serve at least until November, and hopefully she will
be able to win a full term when that twenty
twenty two election happens. But she's right, Kamala Harris is honestly,
(09:32):
honestly useless. And all of these policies that are designed
to lower what you're having to pay for gas and
oil and everything out there are honestly useless too. They
can't even be implemented. And to me, this is perfect
evidence that they have no idea how to solve and
fix the issues. Well, we can just turn to the
brilliance of Secretary of Energy Jen Graholm, who has all
(09:57):
kinds of ideas that will really help bring down the
price of gas. Clay in about thirty years after we've
erased trillions of dollars of wealth through government regulation to
force technologies onto us that are inefficient and that have
tremendous costs on the environment. Anyway, five years from now,
ten years from now, are you telling me you want
(10:19):
them drilling for more oil, you want the refineries putting
out more gasoline in five or ten years. What we're
saying is today we need that supply increased, of course
in five or ten years actually, and in the immediate
we are also pressing on the accelerator, if you will,
to move toward clean energy so that we don't have
to be under the thumb of petro dictators like Putin,
(10:40):
or at the whim of the volatility of fossil fuels. Ultimately,
America will be most secure when we can rely upon
our own clean, domestic production of energy. And that's the
problem for these companies. These companies are saying, you know,
you're asking me to do more now, invest more now,
when in fact, five or ten years from now, we
don't think that man will be there, and the administration
(11:02):
doesn't even necessarily want it to be there. Credit to
see an a guy for asking the real question. By
the way, he's right, they want gas production up Clay
Between Friday June seventeenth and election guests, and then they
want it down again and they want windmills. If you
were that's a fantastic question. If you were right now
(11:25):
an energy executive, and we had some great calls yesterday
discussing oil and gas prices, why would you invest in
production massively when you know that the administration doesn't have
your back in the years ahead. Why would you invest
in the infrastructure and the cost when they are trying
to cut your legs out from under you? And directly
(11:48):
to your point, Buck, this isn't a long term solution.
This is a short term. Let's not get destroyed in
the midterms, and then as we do the run up
to twenty twenty four and on into the future, Democrats
don't believe that gas and oil should be produced in
America at a high level. And also, by the way,
let's talk about this. A lot of these charging stations,
(12:10):
a lot of this electricity that is theoretically clean is
being produced by oil and gas. Have you seen some
of these stories, which to me deserve far more attention,
many of these charging stations. I saw a great interview
in Michigan where Democrats were bragging about how they had
produced all these new electric vehicle charging stations, and then
(12:34):
someone said, well, wait a minute, what is producing all
of this electricity that's going to be able to be
used to charge cars? And the head of the city
where they're doing all this clean energy said, oh, it's
coming from our coal plant. So you are using the
energy produced by a coal plant to help to power
(12:54):
the electricity so that the electric cars can get electric
clean vehicles. But it's coming from coal, And we don't
have conversations enough about this. Much of our clean energy
is actually deriving from traditional methods and manners of producing
oil and gas. And if you want everyone to drive
an electric car, you would have to dramatically increase the
(13:17):
output of rare earth minerals necessary for the batteries, which
means mining a whole lot more mining, which you want
to do. That fine, but the left hates that too.
They hate this. They look folks. They just want the
peasants riding their bicycles, not even necessarily their East scooters
clay because if I'm getting my eat scooter juice from
(13:38):
coal unacceptable. By the way, the key Man insurance policy
that the radio station wanted to take out on you,
the key Man insurance is evidently now offensive. It's key
person insurance. So you can't even say a key man
because you're excluding women evidently when you talk about that.
So when you take undertake, you're highly risky scooter riding
(13:59):
all over the city of New York key person insurance.
I don't want to offend anybody out there. Have you
seen where the price of housing seems to be going
in a lot of places right now? It's not moving
into good direction. Folks. We know that the economy is
in for a rough ride and things are getting tough
right now in a variety of capacities. Dollars are worth less.
(14:20):
Inflations hitting all over the place. How do you take
some action? How do you protect yourself? How about gold?
I've been buying gold for years. I mean, what could
be more stable, more durable, more long lasting as a
store of value than actual gold and silver you can
hold in your hands. Your savings account right now? Is
you know, is losing value month after month. Diversify. Take
(14:44):
some action today so that you know you have a
hedge against inflation and you have something that you control
and hold in your possession, real gold and silver. You
could also have real gold and silver. Put in your
four oh one k which you know these days you've
got to be very mindful of your four oh one
K two. The Oxford Gold Group is who I trust
for my gold and silver purchases. I'm going to be
(15:06):
adding to my holdings. So if you've bought gold, it's
over in the past. Now's the time to step up
and get ahead of the curve on this. If you've
never bought before, the Oxford Gold Group will explain what
makes sense for you. Talk to them about what you're
looking to do, your budget, and they want long term customers,
people who are going to be coming back like me
after years saying time for me to add to the
gold that I hold. Call the Oxford Gold Group. Eight

Sexton Show. It's the fiftieth anniversary roughly of Watergate to
the beginning of the end of the Richard Nixon presidency,
(15:49):
and certainly everything that has occurred in terms of political
scandals gets a gate affixed to it. It's become so commonplace.
But Carl Bernstein, this obsession with trying to turn January
sixth into the worst thing that has ever happened in
the history of the country. Carl Bernstein says that January
(16:13):
sixth was worse than the Civil War, the secession that
we saw from Jefferson Davis, who, when he left to
become the President of the Confederacy prior to that, had
been a senator from Mississippi. Listen to this. We don't
know what Marrick Carlin is going to do, and there
is a tremendous weight on his shoulders because this is
worse than Watergate. The Justice Department now has to make
(16:37):
a decision because it's very clear that the President Donald
Trump violated the law, no question, There's no question about
his seditious actions. The last sedition we had in this
country on any kind of scale was Jefferson Davis, the
president of the Confederacy. And Trump even outdid Jefferson Davis.
(16:59):
He committed the United States under him as the chief
officer of the United States Government. He committed it to
trying to stage an illegal coup. Oh stop, did Jefferson
Davis did? The head of the Confederacy. We have made
fun of the fact on this show that I am
(17:20):
a huge Civil War history buff. I even went to
Civil War sleepaway Camp January sixth is nothing like the
Civil War. And Jefferson Davis, who led the Confederacy as
the president of a country that was at war at
the time with the United States, is nothing like what
(17:40):
Donald Trump did. First of all, the continued attempt to
call this a coup is so outside the bounds of
reasonable discussion that it is an insult to anyone with
a functional brain that this would still be going on.
You know, it's Father's Day coming up, and I gave
my dad a gift quite a while ago that on

and Buck Sexton Show. Governor Briant Kemp of the Great
set of Georgia is with us now. Governor, thanks for
(19:03):
calling in. Appreciate you. Hey, great to be back. Guys.
How's it going? We're good. So you know, we were
just talking before you called in about absolutely critical states
and races going into the mid term. How are you
feeling about the GOP in Georgia's statewide and then more specifically,
of course your showdown with the Democrat candidates Stacy Abrams
(19:27):
just a matter of months before the votes will be cast. Well, look,
I feel great. You know, a lot of momentum for
our campaign coming out of the primary, but little my
ultimate goal of my focus the whole race has been
on making sure Stacy Abrams is not our governor or
your next president, because we know that's what she wants
to do. And I think Georgians are realizing that, you know,
(19:49):
Biden abrams agenda that she embraced and helped to put
in place in Washington, DC is not working out so
well as forty year high inflation. People are getting crushed
when they go to the grocery store, when they go
to the hardware store, and they're certainly getting crushed when
they go to the gas pumps. And this administration is
just tone deaf to what fixes that and what they
(20:09):
need to do. And there's a lot of other disasters
all over, as you know, down at the border and
other things. And that's the same way that she would
take our state. So that's why we're in a fight
for the soul of our state. We're working hard every day,
and you know, we got a lot of great partners
that I'm gonna be on the ticket with who have
been had great success in the state of Georgia. We're
having lowest our unemployment rate dropped again, believe it or not,
(20:32):
the lowest it's ever been. We've got by far, the
most people ever working in our state. And we're doing
a lot of things, guys, to help Georgians fight through
this forty year high inflation. I've suspended the gas tax,
so we've got the lowest gas in the country right now,
even though it's still outrageous because of the administration's policies.
We're also sending a billion dollars back to the taxpayers,
(20:53):
so they got a little more money in their pocket,
as well as doing a tax cut. And think Abraham's
is criticized. Stacy Abrams also, Governor, appreciate you coming on.
This is Clay. Stacy Abrams also got a big shout
out from Joe Biden recently. And I think you're right.
I think she's trying to use the platform of the
governor's office in Georgia if she were to win to
(21:14):
try and run for president of the United States. You're
the incumbent governor there. I think you're going to kick
her ass and win comfortably. That's my breakdown. What is
the impact if Stacy Abrams were to win in Georgia?
What would happen? Well, that's the thing, guys, I mean,
Stacy Abrams doesn't really care about our state. You know,
she's been all over the countries selling her books, she's
(21:36):
you know, she was in Hollywood with all these celebrities
last week raising tens of millions of dollars, and it's
all you know, she cares more about their policies than
she cares about how hard working Georgians are feeling right now.
And that's why she said, you know, this is the
worst state in the country to live in. I obviously
disagree with that. I think it's the greatest state in
(21:56):
the country to live, work and raise our families. You know,
a lot of success our people who have been very
resilient fought through COVID, and you know they've been free
to be able to do that. Unlike her policies of
want mandates and criticizing us reopening the economy, criticizing us
when we're getting our kids back in the classroom. You know,
I don't have to remind you all about criticizing us
(22:18):
over a strong Elections Integrity Act and make it easy
to vote and harder to cheat. And she pressured Major
League Baseball in the players Association so the All Star
Game was moved, and you know, she didn't care about
how that was going to affect small business owners in
Georgia or our state. But you know what, people realize
that that's not where they are. And they saw it
(22:39):
in our primary last you know, just a few weeks ago,
where we had record turnouts. So I mean people know
that they're just selling a bill of goods that have
been lying to folks. And I've been sitting up there
being transparent with people and putting them first over the
policymakers like Joe Biden, and she's cozying up too and Washington,
DC or the liberal elite out in Hollywood that are
(23:00):
funding her campaign. I care more about our people, Georgian's
than you know, raising a lot of money from people
that are going to tell me what to do when
I get an office. Joe Biden said, in fact, you
just referenced that primary turnout. He said that what you
guys had passed in Georgia was Jim Crow two point zero.
You reference Major League Baseball pulling the All Star Game
(23:20):
out of Atlanta, but also coching Delta teed off two
businesses that are based in the Atlanta area. Have any
of those CEOs reached back out to you and said, hey,
you know what you were right in election turnout has
actually grown. You strengthened the security for voting now in
Georgia or are they just pretending they never made the
(23:41):
statements that they did. Well. I think they're just keeping
their head down. But you know, I'm more focused on,
you know, what people in Georgia think, and they know
that I was truthful to them over one year ago
explaining what we did in the bill, and they know
that even more now after seeing the record turnout. And
it's easy to voting, hard to cheat here. You know,
(24:01):
the folks that were criticizing me, neither one of them
can vote here. So I'm not too worried about what
they think. I'm worried about putting Georgian's first. That's what
I campaigned on in twenty and eighteen. That's been what
I've been doing every single day that I've been governor
of this great state. And that's what i want to
continue to do in the future, which is why Marty
and the girls and I are out there working so hard.
(24:23):
I mean, we're big believers in our state. I believe
our best days they are ahead, despite you know, the
just horrific agenda of Di Biden administration has turned our
country upside down in a year and a half. I'm
still very optimistic. We're seeing great economic growth. I just
left a groundbreaking for a metal recycling company, first of
(24:48):
the kind in the United States is the German based company.
They're involved in besting over four hundred billion dollars in
the Augusta area. They have a little golf tournament down
there by the way, and it's just a great another
great opportunity to put hard working people to work. But
that company is going to grow over the next decade
and it's going to give their kids and their grandkids opportunities.
(25:08):
And that's what this is all about. Governor camp I
saw that the announcement came out that Atlanta is going
to be a host site for the twenty twenty six
World Cup. How excited are you for that being brought
to your state and what that will mean in a
few years time. Well, it's going to be incredible. And
I said this last night when we were at the
press conference with Mayor Dickens and the whole state Chamber
(25:32):
of Commerce team, all the convention and visitors bureaus folks
and the Metro Lanta Chamber of Commerce and a lot
of other folks that worked on this. Really a state
local partnership it's going to be incredible, and it's a
hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of billions of dollars of
economic impact. It's going to be great for small business owners.
You know, we'd love to get one of them. Oh,
(25:54):
I think we may have lost the governor there, but
this is a big deal. They got the World Cup.
I was gonna ask him. I'm gonna be out in
Atlanta doing our show next week. Buck and the Braves,
I believe have won fourteen games in a row. I'm
not sure they're ever going to lose again, but that
was Governor Brian Kimp need to be out there supporting,
and we got a monster audience all over Georgia. He
needs to beat Stacy Abrahams and by the way, herschel
(26:14):
Walker needs to beat the Reverend Raphael Warnuck in that
Senate race too. Last night we had our one year
anniversary party and Caroline from Tunnels to Towers was there.
Fantastic supporters of this show, and we're honored to be
doing work for them because they started construction on their
Do Good Village in Landa Lakes, Florida, first of its kind,
one of the most ambitious projects taken on by this foundation.
(26:36):
It's community of one hundred and ten homes for the
Foundations program recipients for families who have lost a loved
one and our war on terror or in the line
of duty as a first responder. It's a special place
where families know their neighbors, understand and care. The Foundations
do good village going to help these families beyond measure.
All thinks to the extraordinary donations of many acres of
(26:58):
land and your generosity. So many of you have supported
the Foundation for years. You can see your contributions making
a real difference for these families. Help America's greatest heroes
and their families healed. Together. Join us in making a
donation every month. Donate eleven dollars a month to Tunnel
to Towers at T two T dot org. That's t
the number two T dot org. Welcome back, Clay Travis
(27:22):
buck Sexton show underway here eight hundred two eight two
to eight eight two on the phone lines. It's gonna
be h ballow me. It's gonna be a bit, a
bit on the steamy side for a big section of
the country, looking at even places like Illinois, all through
the Midwest, over one hundred degree weather, so stay cool
(27:45):
out there this week. Yet everybody's listening from those parts
of the country. I think it's gonna be really hot
here in New York City too, Tennessee, Clay, I think
it's gonna get hit by the heat waves. So no
doubt it's gonna be It's gonna be a warm one,
so make sure you hydrate, hydrate, graduate and that's an
important one. We also have got some calls coming up.
But we've got the Senator of Tennessee, Senator from not
(28:07):
the only one, but Senator from Tennessee, Marshall Blackburn, joining
us at two o'clock. And then my dad, Mason speed Sexton,
we'll be joining in the next hour for some father's
day in studio here in New York. Yes, he's going
to be hanging out with us, so that'll be exciting.
We can ask him if you got any questions you
want to have a thrown in the mix, you can
(28:27):
hit us up with them now. And Clay, did you
have any breaking news times running before we get to
We got a whole bunch of lines lit anybody you
want to anything you want to throw out there or
should I just hop into it? Two things quickly. There
are reports that the gun bill that was much ballyhood
maybe falling apart a bit over the language, because we
(28:49):
still haven't seen the draft language in this bipartisan gun
violence bill, whatever you want to call it. Also, i'll
just mention this, Joe Biden has already left for his
beach house eleven am Eastern. He left the White House
to head away for the weekend. Remember he didn't get
to the White House until twelve thirty on Monday, coming
(29:12):
back from Delaware, So he arrived halfway through the day
on Monday, he left halfway through the day on Friday. Now,
you can say the guy can work anywhere, and I
understand that argument. But when you are the worst president
in history, I think modern history, isn't it maybe the
wrong signal to be sending that you're showing up late
(29:35):
for work at the White House on Monday and leaving
early on Friday. Well, there's also the part of me
that says, the guy's almost eighty, you know, if he
wants to get some time on the beach and read.
Are we allowed to read James Patterson novels? Again? Well,
he's apologized, he's apologized, that was old white guy but
he's apologized for saying things that are unacceptable about old
(29:57):
white Ever, I don't want to be grudge by I
didn't in his nearly eightieth year spending some time at
the beach with the family. He just shouldn't be president
while he's doing this stuff. That that's the problem, right,
I mean, you know, you want to spend time with
the fam at the beach. Biden should be long since retired,
and instead he is letting the country slip deeper into
(30:18):
the economic abyss with each passing day. You know, if
I just wish there were one person, Clay, we talk
about this pretty pretty frequently in recent weeks, one person
the administration points you'd say, all that person really seems
squared away. I understand, just one, you know, to be fair.
For example, I mean, you know Larry Summers when he
(30:39):
was when he was a Treasury secretary. He's a Democrat,
is smart guy, though, was one of the heralds of
inflation that was going to come on the Democrat side.
He said he predicted perfectly exactly where we were headed
with inflation. You know, there's there's some others that are
that coming up. Even we've we've actually quoted him a
few times because he's been saying Democrats are lucky they
didn't get the spending they wanted because inflation would be
(31:01):
even worse. But Ratner, who was the autos are under
Obama again a Democrat, but understands how a business works
and has some understanding of the markets. The people we
keep hearing from this administration, I'm like, did they so
they're just walking around the Wesleyan faculty lounge and saying,
who wants to explain macroeconomic theory when gas prices are
through the roof because it's not going well. I don't
(31:22):
even think they analyzed any of the skill sets for
the people that are in their administration. I think they
just decided we have to have certain measures of cosmetic
diversity and throw people into the cabinet almost one hundred
percent predicated on that. We've got Tom in Colorado, who's
a retired electric lineman. Tom, what's going on, sir? I
(31:44):
just wanted a little plenty of information all these electric cars,
I think in a charger when there's a brown out,
in a blackout and the power company's don't have enough
capacity to run these charging stations, it's a fantastic question
I don't think it's asked hardly at all. Yeah, what happens,
I mean, can go right, But if you if you're
talking about electric car. And also we had that article
(32:07):
you mentioned the New York Journal Wall Street Journal where
there are some charging stations. You gotta wait three hours
for a charge. That's a lot longer than the five
minutes it takes to fill your tank with gas. Journal
reporter tried to drive from New Orleans to Chicago and
back and detailed how awful it was for a long
range trip in an electric vehicle. It was almost impossible
(32:30):
for her to get that thing charged. A lot of
the charging stations didn't work. May work around your neighborhood,
may work in your home when you're able to plug
it in at night, but if you're on the road
for a long drive, what she described felt and would
be miserable. Tom, are you expecting or somebody who knows
how this stuff goes? Are you expecting brown outs and
blackouts based on what you're seeing on the grid? Well,
(32:52):
basically the greatest odd data they just never kept up.
That's a sad part. Oh man, Okay, Well, ideal, have
a good weekend off. Tom's like you know, smoke him
if you got him. Yeah, Um, Chuck in Kentucky, Chuck,
what's going on? Yes, Sarah, I think Rush be proud
of y'all whether they run a show. Thanks a lot. Okay,
(33:13):
I was just shot. They're coming out trying to tell
these parents their children need these shots from five years
to six months. And oh a lot of the doctors
are saying, we need to be getting away from this shot.
And the same people that are pushing this shot are
the ones pushing all these drugs for these transgender children.
(33:35):
It's true. Six changes. That is correct. Thanks for the call. Look,
we had doctor Marty McCarry on the show this week,
JOHNS Hopkins, highly trained medical expert, and he broke down
for us the detailed data on kids and COVID. If
you are getting in my opinion, if you have a
(33:56):
young child and you are getting them, and we're talking
about six month olds to five year olds potentially able
to get these shots as soon as as Monday, I
think you are crazy because your kid probably has already
had COVID. I also think you're crazy if you are
giving hormone altering sex drugs to your children under the
(34:16):
age of eighteen and Buck, the vast majority I believe
the population agrees with me now on both of those things.
Can we just take a moment also because I think
mister Chuck and Kentucky had had very astutely pointed out
that the people that want the shots for very young children,
vaccinations for very young children for COVID specifically are also
very pro trans trans transformation, transgender for well. Well now,
(34:45):
the most recent guidance from a major um um pediatric association,
and I'm just trying to find it here, is that
they transgender kids are okay for hormones at fourteen surgery
at fifteen. Online. I didn't see that, but a lot
of the people that are going to say that's fine,
freak out, Clay. If you don't get them the hormone
(35:07):
free milk at the store, or you don't get them
the no pesticide apples at whole Foods. I mean, I really,
you know, you see how this is fad driven by
so many people or in so many ways. Instead of
hold on a second, what are we really doing here?
What are the real consequences? Forget about what influencers are
telling people on TikTok or on Twitter. What is the
(35:29):
reality of the long term consequences of these. I mean,
the surgeries are discussing are absolutely not reversible. Just to
start with that, you shouldn't be able and we should
have more Republican legislatures, and I believe Republican governors signing
bills to finding what this is. It's child abuse. If
you have a fourteen year old getting their genitals cut
(35:52):
off so that they can change their gender, it's so
peak maddness that this could ever be occurring anywhere in
the United States. To me, it is indisputably child And
this is mainstream Democrat dogman. Now, just to be clear,
Biden's White House supports this. It's not. This is no
longer a fringe of the left or anything else. If
(36:15):
you go against this, and the Mayor of New York
will come back to this the next hour. He's in
favor of this stuff. He's in favor of drag Queen
story hour for kids. This is now the Democrat party
you're dealing with. And notice how it's all happened under Biden,
old guy Biden's lot. This has gone down almost like
he was a trojan horse, and this whole thing was
(36:37):
built on lies. Fleet Travis and buck Sexton on the
