Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome to today's edition of the Clay Travis and Buck
Sexton Show podcast.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
Second hour of Clay and Buck starts right now. Everybody,
thanks for being here with us, and we need to
take a moment to talk about the situation of Florida.
You see, as a Florida resident, I walk around and
when I talk to people here, you know there are
(00:26):
some complaints. There are some complaints. There are people who
will point out that housing prices here have gone up
a lot because of something called supply and demand. When
a lot of people want to live in a place,
then it becomes more expensive to live there because of
the housing supply. And then you hope that they build
more and then that will equalize. But right now, so
(00:49):
housing is expensive. Not a lot of snow here. So
if you like sledding with your kids, Southern Florida not
a great spot for that. You're going to enjoy life
up in New England or Montana more if you really
want to know, we don't have seasons. But despite some
of those downsides, this is the place that is getting
(01:12):
more of an inflow from people moving and they're overwhelmingly
both anecdotally and by the data center. Right people who
have just said I've had enough of democrat and madness
and I'm going to go to Florida. Now, this is
also happening with Tennessee and Texas, but Florida has been
(01:33):
particularly at the forefront of this of this phenomenon, and
it's going to be something you hear a lot about
because it's also really the calling card. It's the primary
achievement of Governor Rondez Santis, who is going to be
running for president here in just a matter of days.
(01:53):
I don't have any knowledge of this more than just
what we see in the press and what people are
talking about right now in terms of in the announcement
will be. It's going to be this week. We all
know it's coming. And I think it's interesting that some
of the argument now is Florida was always great and
people were always moving there. It's like, guys, I need
the arguments for or against a candidate to be rooted
(02:16):
in some numerical reality. If it's going to be a
numbers argument, you can tell me you don't like a candidate,
But if you tell me that you don't like him
because he's ten feet tall, I'm going to say that's
a problem.
Speaker 3 (02:28):
Right.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
But Anyway, that's not really the point. The point is
there's something else going on here which I was unaware,
which is that despite the fact that this is the
state that has gotten the biggest migration of people from
across the country to it in the last three years,
you are being told now if you turn on CNN
(02:49):
and certain channels, that this state, the Sunshine State, is
actually a terrorist state. For well, here is Democrat activist
Aisha Mills. Listen to this one play four extremely.
Speaker 4 (03:05):
Clever, and I really appreciate the NAACP's guidance on this issue.
You know, I just took my family to spring Break
in Florida recently, and I think about all of the
folks who travel there for sun and joy and peace
and restoration, and to be reminded that actually this is
getting to the point where Florida is about to be
(03:26):
a terror estate to many of us here in America,
certainly as a lesbian, as a black woman, I don't want.
Speaker 5 (03:32):
To have anything to do with the place.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
What I just want to know. I would be fascinated
to find out what it is that she is, What
is the terror that she is worried about that affects
black people and lesbians in Florida, Like, what is this even?
I really mean this, Like what Rhnda Santis is making
(03:56):
Disney live by the same rules as every other corporation,
including a universal studios, et cetera in the state. That's
that's terrifying for that Rohn de Santis doesn't want second
graders being told about, you know, uh, all kinds of
sexual stuff in the classroom. I was I didn't have
I had zero sex instruction until high school, right and
(04:20):
that and it was very minimal in high school, but
like there was I mean classroom instruction, right, Yeah, what's
the like, what are they even talking about? Clay, Like,
what is this? Florida is a terrorist state for for
for people of color, for lgbt Q i A plus people.
It's actually a booming state that's really safe relative to
(04:41):
other states of similar population, where people are moving from
all over the country of all races, creeds, colors, et cetera,
as fast as they can.
Speaker 6 (04:50):
To me, this is a perfect distillation of both how
a large organization, large institution ceases to have any legitimacy
because the NAACP has a very impressive history. But if
(05:10):
you are black and you live in Florida as the
NAACP board chair does. Who will play his audio here
in a moment. This goes to my point of when
an institution tells you something that you know is not
true and saying to black people you are not safe
in Florida, and saying to gay people you are not
(05:34):
safe in Florida.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
That's a lie.
Speaker 6 (05:37):
And everyone who is coming to Florida, for instance, this
coming weekend, buck for Memorial Day weekend travel and there
will be what do you think millions of people probably
heading to Florida for Memorial Day weekend. That would not
surprise me. That's probably the number they all know. This
is a lie. If you are with your family and
(05:58):
you're black and you're walking aroun around Universal Studios or
Disney World, as tens of thousands of black families will do,
probably over Memorial Day weekend, or you're going to Miami
to go to the beach and hang out with your
friends and family, this is a lie. And it's such
a transparent lie. And not only is it a transparent lie,
(06:19):
buck the timing on it. This is an attempt to
hit Ron DeSantis with a transparent lie right as he
is preparing to announce that he's going to run for president.
And there's audio here of the NAACP Board of Director's
chair Leon Russell. He actually lives in Florida and he
(06:43):
was asked about this. You're gonna love his response. Listen
to cut five.
Speaker 7 (06:49):
Need to understand that it's not about money, it's about people,
it's about humanity. We haven't told anybody to leave. In fact,
the NACP is encouraging folks to stay here. And if
there was ever a reason to stand your ground, it's
black people, LGBT community, the immigrant community. Women need to
(07:10):
stand our ground in Florida and fight and understand that
the fight is a political fight.
Speaker 6 (07:16):
It's yeah, and certainly it's I'll cut him off there.
It's certainly a political flight fight. Buck when you tell
people not to visit, and then when you're asked because
not safe, somebody says, hey, but you live here, and
his response is, we haven't told anybody to leave. So wait,
it's safe for black people to spend all of their
(07:37):
time in Florida and live there with their families, but
it's not safe to visit. I mean, like this is
this is not even logically coherent.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
I mean, okay, there's so much here. First of all,
they hate Florida on the left, whether it's you know,
the NAACP activist or lgbtu I activists or you know,
the mainstream sort of other Democrat entities you good point to.
They hate Florida because it is super successful and being
(08:07):
governed in a conservative fashion. That's why they despise it.
They have no problem that the problems they have with
Florida have nothing to do with, oh, it's unsafe for
black people to be there, or oh there's targeting of
the lgbt q I a community or whatever. No, they
hate it because it's working so well, and it's working
so well based on philosophy and politics that they don't like.
(08:32):
But this whole thing of oh I'm scared to go there,
and you know, people are not valued there and all that,
that is total projection. It is nonsense. It is garbage.
That is not the reality of Florida at all. I mean,
there are there are weekends here. I mean I've been there.
You go to Miami Beach, and they're widely celebrated as
(08:53):
being gathering you know, gathering weekends of the black community
in Florida. Yeah, right, and nation one. But I mean,
you know, like this idea that it's not safe for
black people to be in Florida is this is complete
fantasy land stuff. And in fact, if anything, you're looking
at a state that has been safer for everyone relative
(09:15):
to the crime waves that have hit other places across
the country, especially in big cities. We're talking to Miami, Tampa,
et cetera. And so I just think it's interesting this
is the Democrat mindset. They will lie about a place
that is doing really well, that is showing everybody a
better way, and it's a better way Clayton, there are people.
(09:37):
So just to give you a sense of this, in
places like Overton in Miami, which is a historically black neighborhood,
you know what's happening in Overton right now. Black families
that have lived there maybe two three generations. They're getting
a million dollars for their twelve hundred square foot house.
Right this. You know, there should be a sense of,
(09:57):
oh my gosh, this is going so well, Like people
are moving here, they want to be here, people feel
safer and safer. But instead of celebrating the wins that
everybody is having across the board, they're saying it's a
terrorist state for people of color. And and this woman
said lesbians. I mean, I hadn't heard anyone say that
(10:17):
lesbians were scared of going to Florida. That was new.
Speaker 6 (10:20):
I would bet that Florida has way higher of a
population gay wise than your average state, right Like, I
would bet that it over indexes for gay population as well. Yeah,
I mean, Miami Beach is a historically, historically very you know,
gay and lesbian friendly. There are there are specifically gay
friendly and lesbian friendly hotels or LGBTQ. You know, there
(10:43):
are there are hotels all up and down the main
strip on Collins that that have you know, fly the
Pride flag year round, and are you know, welcoming to
that community. So it's just I'm just saying this is
rooted in nothing. This is spite at success. Because someone's
doing better with a different politics, then they want them to.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
That's the reality.
Speaker 6 (11:03):
I just can't get. We've got one more cut that
I want to play here. Maybe I'll save it when
we come back, but buck, I just can't get past
the NAACP head when confronted and asked, Hey, if Florida's
so awful, why do you live in Tampa yourself. His
response is, we haven't told anybody to leave. Okay, if
(11:24):
you were really of the belief that Florida was a
terrorist state, wouldn't the first thing you would tell people
to do be to leave. It wouldn't be, hey, don't
go on vacation there for some relatively short experience on
the ground. It would be, hey, you got to get
your boots off the ground. You got to get out
(11:46):
of this state. Now, it's laughably absurd, But he's actually
not even able to follow the logic of his organization's
own statement when he's saying, we're not telling anybody to leave,
We're just telling him not to come visit because it's
so not safe for black and gay people. Well, if
it's so not safe for black and gay people, you
(12:06):
should be telling everybody to leave. That's more important than
don't come on vacation, because you're not staying permanently if
you're coming on vacation. All this is ridiculous. But I
want to play the next iteration, which is the argument
that people are dying. We'll play that we come back buck.
But this is maybe the dumbest argument I have seen,
(12:27):
and I can't imagine that there's very many black people
that are seeing this argument and in any way trusting
the NAACP over it. I think they're blowing themselves up here.
Inflation and prices arising, and now there's a banking crisis
to contend with. With the current stock market volatility, how

Speaker 1 (13:42):
They're here to shed light on the truth every day.
Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Welcome back again. Clay Travis,
Buck Sexton show. Appreciate all of you hanging out with us.
I think it's important to share lies, and we've got
a lot of different lies that I think we need
to make sure that you understand are being propagated associated
(14:04):
with this.
Speaker 6 (14:04):
Call for the argument that Florida is a terrorist state
that is now being spread because of this NAACP position.
Here is the president Buck of the NAACP Fort Lauderdale
chapter down in South Florida. Her name's Marcia Ellison. She
says Black Americans are dying because of Ron DeSantis' leadership.
(14:30):
Listen to cut seven.
Speaker 5 (14:32):
The fact that African Americans certainly are dying, that our
history is being erased, and that we are showing to
have little value is not a stunt to us. The
fight for our very lives is obviously at the top
of the agenda. So what we want to do is
with this NAACP advisory is to advise anyone who's traveling
to Florida, or who is even thinking about it. To
(14:53):
know about the hostile and racist policies that have been
put into place by Governor of de Santists and his supporters.
It's important to know that because, as you know, in
a few days there will be an important announcement that
he is seeking a high office. So the question is
do you want these policies in your state?
Speaker 2 (15:10):
Cla just she says black people are dying, yes, and
that is true. It is also true that white people
are dying, Asian people are. I'm pretty sure that if
you find me a classification of people by any race
or whatever. You know, people of of you know, Hindu
(15:34):
faith are dying. Inuit and Eskimo are.
Speaker 6 (15:38):
Dying, ingesting Buck Sexton that immortality does he exist.
Speaker 2 (15:44):
Vegans, despite their best efforts, vegans are also dying. Like Clay,
you and I are going to die too.
Speaker 6 (15:51):
We're all on the pathway to dying. I mean, so
to turn dark here in a hurry, by the way
it did. It's just interesting, though, is it.
Speaker 2 (15:59):
It's like like the that's the emotional impact of just
She just says black people are dying. It's Ronda Santis' fault, Okay,
dying from what that is his fault that he could
prevent and what would you want to be done to
There's a lot of steps missing. So, yeah, it is
true that black people are dying. It is also true
(16:20):
that all people are dying, because that's what happens. And
so is there any point at which this becomes too stupid?
That's really what? Is there any point in which these
attacks are Ronda Santis cross the stupidity threshold? But then again,
some of the attacks on Tim Scott are also crossing
these stupidity threats.
Speaker 6 (16:38):
We're gonna play some of those here in a minute,
but Buck, I'll just point out as we get ready
for Ronda Santis' announcement. As absurd and ridiculous as I
think everyone agrees that these NAACP arguments are, they're also
similar to the arguments that Donald Trump has tried to
make about the state of Florida. And while we're making
(16:59):
fun of the NAACP president for saying Florida's, you know,
not safe and that people should not come here and visit,
Trump has tried to propagate many of these ideas to
attack Rohnda Santis too. And the immediate response to Trump
that we had on this program was the same. If
Florida's so awful and Rohonda Santis has done such a
(17:21):
disastrous job running the state, why did you move from
New York to live here? I mean, that's I think
a very good argument, right, you moved from New York.
Buck If you moved from New York to Florida and
then you came on the show and you were like,
this place stinks, I hate it, my immediate response to
you would be, well, why.
Speaker 2 (17:41):
Did you move there?
Speaker 6 (17:42):
And that's kind of a checkmate argument, right, unless you
have no other option, but you got you know, let's
say you're in the military and you got sent there
and you couldn't make a choice about where else to go. No,
when you choose to move somewhere, that's about as big
of a statement you can make about the quality of
life there. I think we'll break down on some of
that stuff. Our friends at the View they're idiots, but
(18:02):
this is even a dumb argument for the View. But

Speaker 1 (18:54):
Clay Travis and Buck Sexton on the front lines of True.
Speaker 2 (19:00):
I think at some point we're gonna have to pull
together a list of the dumbest things ever said on
the view. It would be it would be a fierce competition.
We could do like a March Madness bracket for like
the and have people vote the dumbest things ever said
on that show. Isn't it so interesting? As well? ABC
(19:21):
likes to take itself Oh by Disney, right, isn't that right? Yeah,
takes itself very seriously in the news division, and you
know ABC News and George Stefan and the whole thing. Right,
it's all, oh, we're the news for people that are
just into journalism. And they put this show on the
air every day with no compunction, no remorse, I think
(19:42):
is a better word, whatsoever. Where they're making everyone who
watches it dumber. And really they're making everyone who watches
that show. You know, you guys have all experienced. I'm
not gonna lie. I I remember way back in the day,
like before the internet was even such a big thing,
some of the stuff that would be I'm not talking
about the spicy stuff, but some of the stuff that
(20:03):
would be on HBO, like really late at night. I mean,
you know I did. I watched Leprechaun four once, Okay,
like it was Leprechawn in Space, you know Leprechaun movies.
I am not in space, oh con they made five
Leprechawn movies, just so you out. Five was Leprechahn in
the Hood, which I did. At some point, the tiny
(20:23):
Leprechaun was smoking a marijuana cigarette. I want to get
into this. So, but back in the day, if you had,
like if you were in a family that had HBO
sometimes late at night, you watch things. You're like, I'm
getting made dumber by watching this, Like I'm actually brain
cells are dying off and my cognition is being slowed
by this. I think that that happens when people watch
(20:46):
the view, I really do. I think that it feeds
people talking points that make them less likely to think
that are untrue, and that are overall a net negative
for discourse. I think it serves no purpose other than
to make their ill read, ill informed people on the left,
particularly obviously appealing mostly to women, feel better about their
(21:07):
ignorance and their prejudices. With that in mind, Joy behar
Joy Baha, here she is, everybody. I just want you
to listen to this gem that Joy came up with.
Listen to it.
Speaker 8 (21:20):
And he's one of these guys who you know, he's
like Clarence Thomas, black Republican who believes employing hisself by
your bootstraps rather than to me understanding the systemic racism
that African Americans face in this country another minorities. He
doesn't get it. Neither does Clarence right, and that's why
they're Republicans.
Speaker 9 (21:37):
Yeah, so Joy Behar, white female multi millionaire Joy Bahar
knows more about what it is to be a black
man in America than Senator Tim Scott or Clarence Thomas.
Speaker 2 (21:55):
That's quite a that's quite a stretch. I have to say,
that's an interesting one.
Speaker 6 (21:59):
Look, Joy Behart could disagree with Tim Scott's candidacy in
an intelligent fashion if she were not an imbecile. But
this is the kind of racism that actually exists. You
are completely invalidating Tim Scott and Clarence Thomas and their
(22:21):
perspective by saying they don't understand what it's like to
be black men in America. You could disagree with the
pick yourself up by your bootstrap's mantra, which it's worth
mentioning has been a black mantra going all the way back.
Speaker 2 (22:41):
I think to W. E. B.
Speaker 6 (22:43):
Dubois back in the day, it may have been pronounced
duboyce back in the day. I don't know. I wasn't
an expert in the you know, early nineteen hundred's, late
eighteen hundred's black empowerment.
Speaker 2 (22:58):
But Booker T.
Speaker 6 (22:59):
Washington are tons of black leaders who have advocated zealously
for generations that the best way for the black uplift,
the best way to build from slavery and develop economic opportunity,
(23:20):
is actually through individual self reliance. That has been an
incredibly strong argument for generations in the black experience, and
certainly there are people who would oppose it far more
intelligently than joy Behar. But Buck, this is what passes
(23:40):
for left wing. You heard everybody. I think we cut
it off before the end. But Joy Behart was applauded
by that audience. This is, as I believe George W.
Bush said, the soft bigotry of low expectations. The idea
here is that Tim Scott and Clarence Thomas too very,
very successful black men. One is Supreme Court justice, the
(24:03):
other a senator, both of whom were raised in extreme poverty,
who have lifted themselves up to among the highest levels
of American government. That their unique individual experiences and what
they have learned that allowed them to achieve what they
have is somehow not a permissible opinion to have in America.
Speaker 2 (24:30):
And also Joy.
Speaker 6 (24:31):
Behar's expectation that those men would not be aware of
what racism is or what the cost of racism can
be is also just it's flagrantly insulting. But Joy Behar said,
what many different people on the left believe this is
actually racist?
Speaker 2 (24:52):
Where does it also leave people? So if you're going
to negate and think of what the real mentality is here.
Clarence Thomas writes about this eloquently in his autobiography that
that the truth, the condescension from white liberals was always
the thing that he found the most galling, the most
just you know, really really deeply bothered him because they
(25:16):
thought it was better and it was really just about themselves, right,
It's about, oh, you know, I'm a good person, so
I want to go and give people who are you know,
less fortunate, give them the oh oh it's all going
to be okay. The condescension that comes across from from
from white liberals is something that is very common, very present.
But also where does it leave people to say that
(25:38):
if you uh that you shouldn't try to be bettering yourself,
Like what what what's the what is the alternate theory
of the case here? You know what I mean? What
what is Joy Beyer says, Oh, you know, let's pull
up your bootstraps thing. What's that all about, Like, that's
not because of systemic racism? So should people give up
because of systemic racism? Is that?
Speaker 8 (25:58):
Well?
Speaker 2 (25:58):
What is the philosophy that they were people that want
to empower every black man and woman, every person in
the country with individual responsibility. Your life is in your hands.
Life is not fair, Okay, there's a lot of things
that are not fair. You could say that they're even
if you believe in systemic racism, which I do, but
actually not in the way that the left thinks that
(26:20):
systemic racism exists. It's actually in a very different direction.
But even if you believe in systemic racism, Okay, life
is unfair, you're gonna tell people to just be a victim,
to whine all the time, to expect other people to
fix it for them, because there are a lot of people.
Speaker 1 (26:35):
You know, people are.
Speaker 2 (26:36):
Born, you know, people are born and into situations where
they have, you know, serious disease they have to overcome.
They're born into poverty of all different races. They're born
with a parent who's an alcoholic and who's abusive, or
maybe you know two parents who are abusive, and they
have to overcome that and You can either tell them
it's within all of our power to become the best
version of the human being that he or she is,
(26:59):
or you can say a cry, whine despair and maybe
Joe Biden will fix your life for you. This is
not gonna happen. So it actually just infantilizes everybody, everybody,
no doubt, That's exactly what it does. And it also
tries to convince people that the government is their savior.
Speaker 6 (27:15):
Right. I mean, that's the implicity, and that's the point, right,
That's that's the implicit argument of Joy Behar Is you,
you poor minority in this particular situation, you poor black man,
you poor young black child. You have no hope to
succeed in this country because white supremacy is so overwhelming
(27:36):
and stultifying that it dominates every single aspect of your life.
Thus you must beg for help from your government, which
you don't control.
Speaker 2 (27:49):
I don't know.
Speaker 6 (27:49):
Who came up with the phrase, but I've been using it.
I try to use it with my boys as often
as I can. The only the only thing you can control,
the only hand you can rely on, is the one
at the end of your sleeve. Right, somebody may give
you help.
Speaker 2 (28:09):
I hope it happens.
Speaker 6 (28:10):
I hope somebody extends their hand and gives you an
opportunity that you wouldn't otherwise receive. But the only thing
that you can rely on, the only hand that you
can rely on, is the one at the end of
your sleeve. And so this idea that, oh, the government's
the great savior, Oh the Government's going to ride in
and provide something for you that your own individual work
(28:34):
ethic cannot is a lie. And it's also, to your point, Buck,
such a devastating lie, because what it treats and allows
you to believe is that your failure is entire preordained,
right like you have no hope, no aspirational opportunity in
(28:55):
life because of something you didn't control at birth, which
is your race, your gender, who your parents are, where
you started.
Speaker 2 (29:03):
It's I mean, totally defeating. And this is this is
a far less, far less serious I think than what
we're folksing right now. But I come across this and
I've I've learned this now, and you can never I
know who understands this world very well will agree. Even
you know. Fitness is not fair. People have it is reality.
(29:25):
Everyone always says Oh, it's about this and that and
how you work. Yeah, that's all true. But some people
are gifted, some people have more to work with. Some
people put on muscle faster, some people put on fat faster,
some people are taller, some people put You know, everyone
is We are all unique snowflakes. Everyone is different. You
can sit around and complain and be like, why aren't
I six five and ten percent body fat and have
(29:46):
a metabolism that, or you can just work the best
with what you've got and lived the best life you have.
These are two different philosophies. You can sit around and
complain all day, you know. I mean Clay and I
wish that we were just blessed with forever six. Well
maybe Clay has one, but I wish I could dunk
a basketball buck.
Speaker 6 (30:03):
I could have spent every single hour of my youth,
right teenage into my twenties training. Remember Jimmy, the shoes
that Jimmy on Seinfeld war that were supposed to make
him like a better Remember the Rebock pumps those were
gonna ask you jump, Oh you're I mean everybody got sold.
I mean the idea that if you wear this tennis shoe,
(30:23):
you're gonna be able to jump like Michael Jordan or whatever.
It's a successful marketing ploy right. But I could have
done everything under the sun. I was never going to
be able to dunk a basketball. I didn't have the
physical ability to do it, right, So I could sit around.
Speaker 2 (30:38):
And be like, oh woe is me?
Speaker 6 (30:40):
Or like every other person out there, you try to
find something that you do have a talent in and
develop it to the best of your ability. That's what
the goal of I think about it now, is the
goal of a parent, right, It's what the goal of
a teacher should be. Fine, unique talents push kids toward
their talent that allow them to excel. And so this
(31:01):
defeating and we'll play this sunny hostin clip too from
the view when we come back, the Left is ultimately
selling to all of your kids and grandkids the idea
that they cannot excel without the help of the government.
And that's a lie.
Speaker 2 (31:21):
You know, today has been a good day for me,
not just because Clay and I are hanging out in
this program with all of you fantastic patriots all across
the country, but because of something I got to do
this morning online. Hosted an in depth interview with an
amazing market analyst, Mason Sexton. Yes, my dad, about the
Great Disruption of twenty twenty three. In the past, he
predicted the stock market crash of eighty seven, the top
(31:44):
of the market before the COVID crash. He's made so
many major, major calls, but he's been advising hedge funds
behind the scenes for years until now. Now he has
come forward and he has his first major prediction for
the public in thirty years. He thinks this July things
are gonna get really ugly, but you need to know
how and what to do about it. We're seeing the
(32:06):
signs of this disruption. Banks going under, real estate losing
value at a rapid rate, inflation causing sticker shock at
the grocery store. We see there are problems, but when's
it really gonna hit and what can you do about it?
My dad, Mason Sexton, will tell you why most analysts
are wrong about a coming lost decade in stocks and
why what's coming could be much much worse. This is
(32:27):
his first major prediction in like I said, thirty years.
The video will air tonight at eight pm Eastern five Pacific.
Just go to this website. Disruption twenty twenty three dot com.
It'll direct you to the showing of the video we
taped Disruption twenty twenty three dot com.
Speaker 10 (32:49):
Don't miss a minute of playing fuck and get behind
the scene access to special content for members only. Let's
subscribe to CNB twenty four to seven walk.
Speaker 6 (33:00):
About in Clay Travis Buck Sexton show Target having an
emergency meeting because they are worried about getting bun lighted.
We will tell you about that coming up here at
the top of the third hour, but I wanted to
continue to let you know I think it's important what
dumb people on the left are saying about Tim Scott
(33:22):
announcing for president. They immediately tie him to Clarence Thomas.
And we ripped Joy Behar, who is regularly an imbecile
on virtually every subject. But she's not alone on the
View Sonny Houston, who I believe went to Notre Dame
Law school. If I'm not mistaken, Buck, she is on
the View, and she said about Tim Scott, he thinks
(33:45):
because he made it, everybody can listen. One of the.
Speaker 4 (33:48):
Issues that Tim Scott has is that he seems to
think because I made it, everyone can make it, ignoring
again the fact that he is.
Speaker 5 (33:58):
The exception and not the rule, and until he is
the rule she has, then he can stop talking about systems.
Speaker 6 (34:03):
Clas Thomason, Okay, most people don't become tremendous, huge successes.
Most people don't become United States senators or Supreme Court justices.
That's just a regular numbers game. Tim Scott reacted, though,
and I thought had a pretty compelling response directly to
this Sonny Hostin comment, he says he's not the exception,
(34:26):
He's actually the rule.
Speaker 3 (34:27):
Listen, meekness is not weakness. I believe in the Gospel.
I believe Matthew five forty four says love your enemies
if you break in my house. I also believe in
the Second Amendment. I'm going to make sure that we
defend every single thing we love in this country. We
have to ignore the far left by disproving their lives
by our actions. Here's the funny thing at the host, Sonny,
(34:48):
she wants to be judged by the content of her character,
not the color of her skin. The fact of the
matter is America is the story of evolution, never told
story of evolution, and too many of our schools that
are indoctrinate our kids instead of educating our kids. I'm
not the exception, I'm actually the rule.
Speaker 6 (35:09):
I think it's powerful if you look at people who
have success and you try to buck you know this.
I bet as a kid you did the same thing.
If you look at successful people and try to emulate
many of their characteristics, work, ethic, educational ambition, you know
what happens. You yourself can have a great deal of
(35:32):
success too. And that's why this message of defeatism that
is being sold by the left, I think has to
be roundly rejected. And one of the things that I
think is important about Tim Scott's story is he provides
he's fifty seven. By the way, he grew up in
the sixties, right, I mean long before a lot of
us in the eighties and nineties. I love this story
(35:54):
and I think punching back against the lies is super important.
Speaker 2 (35:58):
We're gonna be talking about coming up here in just
a few minutes, a decision by the Los Angeles Dodgers,
which is a sports franchise. From what I understand, that
is that is upsetting a lot of people, a lot
of Catholics in particular, and has to do with a
(36:19):
group that they are including for a Pride month that
you need to know about. There's also some updates on
the Target front, as in the store Target and how
they're starting to worry a little bit that some of
their did we call it a hot dog hider. I
believe earlier the week someone told me that we can't
do that again because they almost drove into a tree
(36:40):
or something. So but some of their their special bathing suits.
People are upset, and uh, I think Target's taking notice.
Play you're gonna break that down for us. That's an
ext third hour coming up.
Welcome to today's edition of the Clay Travis and Buck
Sexton Show podcast.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
Second hour of Clay and Buck starts right now. Everybody,
thanks for being here with us, and we need to
take a moment to talk about the situation of Florida.
You see, as a Florida resident, I walk around and
when I talk to people here, you know there are
(00:26):
some complaints. There are some complaints. There are people who
will point out that housing prices here have gone up
a lot because of something called supply and demand. When
a lot of people want to live in a place,
then it becomes more expensive to live there because of
the housing supply. And then you hope that they build
more and then that will equalize. But right now, so
(00:49):
housing is expensive. Not a lot of snow here. So
if you like sledding with your kids, Southern Florida not
a great spot for that. You're going to enjoy life
up in New England or Montana more if you really
want to know, we don't have seasons. But despite some
of those downsides, this is the place that is getting
(01:12):
more of an inflow from people moving and they're overwhelmingly
both anecdotally and by the data center. Right people who
have just said I've had enough of democrat and madness
and I'm going to go to Florida. Now, this is
also happening with Tennessee and Texas, but Florida has been
(01:33):
particularly at the forefront of this of this phenomenon, and
it's going to be something you hear a lot about
because it's also really the calling card. It's the primary
achievement of Governor Rondez Santis, who is going to be
running for president here in just a matter of days.
(01:53):
I don't have any knowledge of this more than just
what we see in the press and what people are
talking about right now in terms of in the announcement
will be. It's going to be this week. We all
know it's coming. And I think it's interesting that some
of the argument now is Florida was always great and
people were always moving there. It's like, guys, I need
the arguments for or against a candidate to be rooted
(02:16):
in some numerical reality. If it's going to be a
numbers argument, you can tell me you don't like a candidate,
But if you tell me that you don't like him
because he's ten feet tall, I'm going to say that's
a problem.
Speaker 3 (02:28):
Right.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
But Anyway, that's not really the point. The point is
there's something else going on here which I was unaware,
which is that despite the fact that this is the
state that has gotten the biggest migration of people from
across the country to it in the last three years,
you are being told now if you turn on CNN
(02:49):
and certain channels, that this state, the Sunshine State, is
actually a terrorist state. For well, here is Democrat activist
Aisha Mills. Listen to this one play four extremely.
Speaker 4 (03:05):
Clever, and I really appreciate the NAACP's guidance on this issue.
You know, I just took my family to spring Break
in Florida recently, and I think about all of the
folks who travel there for sun and joy and peace
and restoration, and to be reminded that actually this is
getting to the point where Florida is about to be
(03:26):
a terror estate to many of us here in America,
certainly as a lesbian, as a black woman, I don't want.
Speaker 5 (03:32):
To have anything to do with the place.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
What I just want to know. I would be fascinated
to find out what it is that she is, What
is the terror that she is worried about that affects
black people and lesbians in Florida, Like, what is this even?
I really mean this, Like what Rhnda Santis is making
(03:56):
Disney live by the same rules as every other corporation,
including a universal studios, et cetera in the state. That's
that's terrifying for that Rohn de Santis doesn't want second
graders being told about, you know, uh, all kinds of
sexual stuff in the classroom. I was I didn't have
I had zero sex instruction until high school, right and
(04:20):
that and it was very minimal in high school, but
like there was I mean classroom instruction, right, Yeah, what's
the like, what are they even talking about? Clay, Like,
what is this? Florida is a terrorist state for for
for people of color, for lgbt Q i A plus people.
It's actually a booming state that's really safe relative to
(04:41):
other states of similar population, where people are moving from
all over the country of all races, creeds, colors, et cetera,
as fast as they can.
Speaker 6 (04:50):
To me, this is a perfect distillation of both how
a large organization, large institution ceases to have any legitimacy
because the NAACP has a very impressive history. But if
(05:10):
you are black and you live in Florida as the
NAACP board chair does. Who will play his audio here
in a moment. This goes to my point of when
an institution tells you something that you know is not
true and saying to black people you are not safe
in Florida, and saying to gay people you are not
(05:34):
safe in Florida.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
That's a lie.
Speaker 6 (05:37):
And everyone who is coming to Florida, for instance, this
coming weekend, buck for Memorial Day weekend travel and there
will be what do you think millions of people probably
heading to Florida for Memorial Day weekend. That would not
surprise me. That's probably the number they all know. This
is a lie. If you are with your family and
(05:58):
you're black and you're walking aroun around Universal Studios or
Disney World, as tens of thousands of black families will do,
probably over Memorial Day weekend, or you're going to Miami
to go to the beach and hang out with your
friends and family, this is a lie. And it's such
a transparent lie. And not only is it a transparent lie,
(06:19):
buck the timing on it. This is an attempt to
hit Ron DeSantis with a transparent lie right as he
is preparing to announce that he's going to run for president.
And there's audio here of the NAACP Board of Director's
chair Leon Russell. He actually lives in Florida and he
(06:43):
was asked about this. You're gonna love his response. Listen
to cut five.
Speaker 7 (06:49):
Need to understand that it's not about money, it's about people,
it's about humanity. We haven't told anybody to leave. In fact,
the NACP is encouraging folks to stay here. And if
there was ever a reason to stand your ground, it's
black people, LGBT community, the immigrant community. Women need to
(07:10):
stand our ground in Florida and fight and understand that
the fight is a political fight.
Speaker 6 (07:16):
It's yeah, and certainly it's I'll cut him off there.
It's certainly a political flight fight. Buck when you tell
people not to visit, and then when you're asked because
not safe, somebody says, hey, but you live here, and
his response is, we haven't told anybody to leave. So wait,
it's safe for black people to spend all of their
(07:37):
time in Florida and live there with their families, but
it's not safe to visit. I mean, like this is
this is not even logically coherent.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
I mean, okay, there's so much here. First of all,
they hate Florida on the left, whether it's you know,
the NAACP activist or lgbtu I activists or you know,
the mainstream sort of other Democrat entities you good point to.
They hate Florida because it is super successful and being
(08:07):
governed in a conservative fashion. That's why they despise it.
They have no problem that the problems they have with
Florida have nothing to do with, oh, it's unsafe for
black people to be there, or oh there's targeting of
the lgbt q I a community or whatever. No, they
hate it because it's working so well, and it's working
so well based on philosophy and politics that they don't like.
(08:32):
But this whole thing of oh I'm scared to go there,
and you know, people are not valued there and all that,
that is total projection. It is nonsense. It is garbage.
That is not the reality of Florida at all. I mean,
there are there are weekends here. I mean I've been there.
You go to Miami Beach, and they're widely celebrated as
(08:53):
being gathering you know, gathering weekends of the black community
in Florida. Yeah, right, and nation one. But I mean,
you know, like this idea that it's not safe for
black people to be in Florida is this is complete
fantasy land stuff. And in fact, if anything, you're looking
at a state that has been safer for everyone relative
(09:15):
to the crime waves that have hit other places across
the country, especially in big cities. We're talking to Miami, Tampa,
et cetera. And so I just think it's interesting this
is the Democrat mindset. They will lie about a place
that is doing really well, that is showing everybody a
better way, and it's a better way Clayton, there are people.
(09:37):
So just to give you a sense of this, in
places like Overton in Miami, which is a historically black neighborhood,
you know what's happening in Overton right now. Black families
that have lived there maybe two three generations. They're getting
a million dollars for their twelve hundred square foot house.
Right this. You know, there should be a sense of,
(09:57):
oh my gosh, this is going so well, Like people
are moving here, they want to be here, people feel
safer and safer. But instead of celebrating the wins that
everybody is having across the board, they're saying it's a
terrorist state for people of color. And and this woman
said lesbians. I mean, I hadn't heard anyone say that
(10:17):
lesbians were scared of going to Florida. That was new.
Speaker 6 (10:20):
I would bet that Florida has way higher of a
population gay wise than your average state, right Like, I
would bet that it over indexes for gay population as well. Yeah,
I mean, Miami Beach is a historically, historically very you know,
gay and lesbian friendly. There are there are specifically gay
friendly and lesbian friendly hotels or LGBTQ. You know, there
(10:43):
are there are hotels all up and down the main
strip on Collins that that have you know, fly the
Pride flag year round, and are you know, welcoming to
that community. So it's just I'm just saying this is
rooted in nothing. This is spite at success. Because someone's
doing better with a different politics, then they want them to.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
That's the reality.
Speaker 6 (11:03):
I just can't get. We've got one more cut that
I want to play here. Maybe I'll save it when
we come back, but buck, I just can't get past
the NAACP head when confronted and asked, Hey, if Florida's
so awful, why do you live in Tampa yourself. His
response is, we haven't told anybody to leave. Okay, if
(11:24):
you were really of the belief that Florida was a
terrorist state, wouldn't the first thing you would tell people
to do be to leave. It wouldn't be, hey, don't
go on vacation there for some relatively short experience on
the ground. It would be, hey, you got to get
your boots off the ground. You got to get out
(11:46):
of this state. Now, it's laughably absurd, But he's actually
not even able to follow the logic of his organization's
own statement when he's saying, we're not telling anybody to leave,
We're just telling him not to come visit because it's
so not safe for black and gay people. Well, if
it's so not safe for black and gay people, you
(12:06):
should be telling everybody to leave. That's more important than
don't come on vacation, because you're not staying permanently if
you're coming on vacation. All this is ridiculous. But I
want to play the next iteration, which is the argument
that people are dying. We'll play that we come back buck.
But this is maybe the dumbest argument I have seen,
(12:27):
and I can't imagine that there's very many black people
that are seeing this argument and in any way trusting
the NAACP over it. I think they're blowing themselves up here.
Inflation and prices arising, and now there's a banking crisis
to contend with. With the current stock market volatility, how

Speaker 1 (13:42):
They're here to shed light on the truth every day.
Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Welcome back again. Clay Travis,
Buck Sexton show. Appreciate all of you hanging out with us.
I think it's important to share lies, and we've got
a lot of different lies that I think we need
to make sure that you understand are being propagated associated
(14:04):
with this.
Speaker 6 (14:04):
Call for the argument that Florida is a terrorist state
that is now being spread because of this NAACP position.
Here is the president Buck of the NAACP Fort Lauderdale
chapter down in South Florida. Her name's Marcia Ellison. She
says Black Americans are dying because of Ron DeSantis' leadership.
(14:30):
Listen to cut seven.
Speaker 5 (14:32):
The fact that African Americans certainly are dying, that our
history is being erased, and that we are showing to
have little value is not a stunt to us. The
fight for our very lives is obviously at the top
of the agenda. So what we want to do is
with this NAACP advisory is to advise anyone who's traveling
to Florida, or who is even thinking about it. To
(14:53):
know about the hostile and racist policies that have been
put into place by Governor of de Santists and his supporters.
It's important to know that because, as you know, in
a few days there will be an important announcement that
he is seeking a high office. So the question is
do you want these policies in your state?
Speaker 2 (15:10):
Cla just she says black people are dying, yes, and
that is true. It is also true that white people
are dying, Asian people are. I'm pretty sure that if
you find me a classification of people by any race
or whatever. You know, people of of you know, Hindu
(15:34):
faith are dying. Inuit and Eskimo are.
Speaker 6 (15:38):
Dying, ingesting Buck Sexton that immortality does he exist.
Speaker 2 (15:44):
Vegans, despite their best efforts, vegans are also dying. Like Clay,
you and I are going to die too.
Speaker 6 (15:51):
We're all on the pathway to dying. I mean, so
to turn dark here in a hurry, by the way
it did. It's just interesting, though, is it.
Speaker 2 (15:59):
It's like like the that's the emotional impact of just
She just says black people are dying. It's Ronda Santis' fault, Okay,
dying from what that is his fault that he could
prevent and what would you want to be done to
There's a lot of steps missing. So, yeah, it is
true that black people are dying. It is also true
(16:20):
that all people are dying, because that's what happens. And
so is there any point at which this becomes too stupid?
That's really what? Is there any point in which these
attacks are Ronda Santis cross the stupidity threshold? But then again,
some of the attacks on Tim Scott are also crossing
these stupidity threats.
Speaker 6 (16:38):
We're gonna play some of those here in a minute,
but Buck, I'll just point out as we get ready
for Ronda Santis' announcement. As absurd and ridiculous as I
think everyone agrees that these NAACP arguments are, they're also
similar to the arguments that Donald Trump has tried to
make about the state of Florida. And while we're making
(16:59):
fun of the NAACP president for saying Florida's, you know,
not safe and that people should not come here and visit,
Trump has tried to propagate many of these ideas to
attack Rohnda Santis too. And the immediate response to Trump
that we had on this program was the same. If
Florida's so awful and Rohonda Santis has done such a
(17:21):
disastrous job running the state, why did you move from
New York to live here? I mean, that's I think
a very good argument, right, you moved from New York.
Buck If you moved from New York to Florida and
then you came on the show and you were like,
this place stinks, I hate it, my immediate response to
you would be, well, why.
Speaker 2 (17:41):
Did you move there?
Speaker 6 (17:42):
And that's kind of a checkmate argument, right, unless you
have no other option, but you got you know, let's
say you're in the military and you got sent there
and you couldn't make a choice about where else to go. No,
when you choose to move somewhere, that's about as big
of a statement you can make about the quality of
life there. I think we'll break down on some of
that stuff. Our friends at the View they're idiots, but
(18:02):
this is even a dumb argument for the View. But
I want to tell you guys have helped build My

Speaker 1 (18:54):
Clay Travis and Buck Sexton on the front lines of True.
Speaker 2 (19:00):
I think at some point we're gonna have to pull
together a list of the dumbest things ever said on
the view. It would be it would be a fierce competition.
We could do like a March Madness bracket for like
the and have people vote the dumbest things ever said
on that show. Isn't it so interesting? As well? ABC
(19:21):
likes to take itself Oh by Disney, right, isn't that right? Yeah,
takes itself very seriously in the news division, and you
know ABC News and George Stefan and the whole thing. Right,
it's all, oh, we're the news for people that are
just into journalism. And they put this show on the
air every day with no compunction, no remorse, I think
(19:42):
is a better word, whatsoever. Where they're making everyone who
watches it dumber. And really they're making everyone who watches
that show. You know, you guys have all experienced. I'm
not gonna lie. I I remember way back in the day,
like before the internet was even such a big thing,
some of the stuff that would be I'm not talking
about the spicy stuff, but some of the stuff that
(20:03):
would be on HBO, like really late at night. I mean,
you know I did. I watched Leprechaun four once, Okay,
like it was Leprechawn in Space, you know Leprechaun movies.
I am not in space, oh con they made five
Leprechawn movies, just so you out. Five was Leprechahn in
the Hood, which I did. At some point, the tiny
(20:23):
Leprechaun was smoking a marijuana cigarette. I want to get
into this. So, but back in the day, if you had,
like if you were in a family that had HBO
sometimes late at night, you watch things. You're like, I'm
getting made dumber by watching this, Like I'm actually brain
cells are dying off and my cognition is being slowed
by this. I think that that happens when people watch
(20:46):
the view, I really do. I think that it feeds
people talking points that make them less likely to think
that are untrue, and that are overall a net negative
for discourse. I think it serves no purpose other than
to make their ill read, ill informed people on the left,
particularly obviously appealing mostly to women, feel better about their
(21:07):
ignorance and their prejudices. With that in mind, Joy behar
Joy Baha, here she is, everybody. I just want you
to listen to this gem that Joy came up with.
Listen to it.
Speaker 8 (21:20):
And he's one of these guys who you know, he's
like Clarence Thomas, black Republican who believes employing hisself by
your bootstraps rather than to me understanding the systemic racism
that African Americans face in this country another minorities. He
doesn't get it. Neither does Clarence right, and that's why
they're Republicans.
Speaker 9 (21:37):
Yeah, so Joy Behar, white female multi millionaire Joy Bahar
knows more about what it is to be a black
man in America than Senator Tim Scott or Clarence Thomas.
Speaker 2 (21:55):
That's quite a that's quite a stretch. I have to say,
that's an interesting one.
Speaker 6 (21:59):
Look, Joy Behart could disagree with Tim Scott's candidacy in
an intelligent fashion if she were not an imbecile. But
this is the kind of racism that actually exists. You
are completely invalidating Tim Scott and Clarence Thomas and their
(22:21):
perspective by saying they don't understand what it's like to
be black men in America. You could disagree with the
pick yourself up by your bootstrap's mantra, which it's worth
mentioning has been a black mantra going all the way back.
Speaker 2 (22:41):
I think to W. E. B.
Speaker 6 (22:43):
Dubois back in the day, it may have been pronounced
duboyce back in the day. I don't know. I wasn't
an expert in the you know, early nineteen hundred's, late
eighteen hundred's black empowerment.
Speaker 2 (22:58):
But Booker T.
Speaker 6 (22:59):
Washington are tons of black leaders who have advocated zealously
for generations that the best way for the black uplift,
the best way to build from slavery and develop economic opportunity,
(23:20):
is actually through individual self reliance. That has been an
incredibly strong argument for generations in the black experience, and
certainly there are people who would oppose it far more
intelligently than joy Behar. But Buck, this is what passes
(23:40):
for left wing. You heard everybody. I think we cut
it off before the end. But Joy Behart was applauded
by that audience. This is, as I believe George W.
Bush said, the soft bigotry of low expectations. The idea
here is that Tim Scott and Clarence Thomas too very,
very successful black men. One is Supreme Court justice, the
(24:03):
other a senator, both of whom were raised in extreme poverty,
who have lifted themselves up to among the highest levels
of American government. That their unique individual experiences and what
they have learned that allowed them to achieve what they
have is somehow not a permissible opinion to have in America.
Speaker 2 (24:30):
And also Joy.
Speaker 6 (24:31):
Behar's expectation that those men would not be aware of
what racism is or what the cost of racism can
be is also just it's flagrantly insulting. But Joy Behar said,
what many different people on the left believe this is
actually racist?
Speaker 2 (24:52):
Where does it also leave people? So if you're going
to negate and think of what the real mentality is here.
Clarence Thomas writes about this eloquently in his autobiography that
that the truth, the condescension from white liberals was always
the thing that he found the most galling, the most
just you know, really really deeply bothered him because they
(25:16):
thought it was better and it was really just about themselves, right,
It's about, oh, you know, I'm a good person, so
I want to go and give people who are you know,
less fortunate, give them the oh oh it's all going
to be okay. The condescension that comes across from from
from white liberals is something that is very common, very present.
But also where does it leave people to say that
(25:38):
if you uh that you shouldn't try to be bettering yourself,
Like what what what's the what is the alternate theory
of the case here? You know what I mean? What
what is Joy Beyer says, Oh, you know, let's pull
up your bootstraps thing. What's that all about, Like, that's
not because of systemic racism? So should people give up
because of systemic racism? Is that?
Speaker 8 (25:58):
Well?
Speaker 2 (25:58):
What is the philosophy that they were people that want
to empower every black man and woman, every person in
the country with individual responsibility. Your life is in your hands.
Life is not fair, Okay, there's a lot of things
that are not fair. You could say that they're even
if you believe in systemic racism, which I do, but
actually not in the way that the left thinks that
(26:20):
systemic racism exists. It's actually in a very different direction.
But even if you believe in systemic racism, Okay, life
is unfair, you're gonna tell people to just be a victim,
to whine all the time, to expect other people to
fix it for them, because there are a lot of people.
Speaker 1 (26:35):
You know, people are.
Speaker 2 (26:36):
Born, you know, people are born and into situations where
they have, you know, serious disease they have to overcome.
They're born into poverty of all different races. They're born
with a parent who's an alcoholic and who's abusive, or
maybe you know two parents who are abusive, and they
have to overcome that and You can either tell them
it's within all of our power to become the best
version of the human being that he or she is,
(26:59):
or you can say a cry, whine despair and maybe
Joe Biden will fix your life for you. This is
not gonna happen. So it actually just infantilizes everybody, everybody,
no doubt, That's exactly what it does. And it also
tries to convince people that the government is their savior.
Speaker 6 (27:15):
Right. I mean, that's the implicity, and that's the point, right,
That's that's the implicit argument of Joy Behar Is you,
you poor minority in this particular situation, you poor black man,
you poor young black child. You have no hope to
succeed in this country because white supremacy is so overwhelming
(27:36):
and stultifying that it dominates every single aspect of your life.
Thus you must beg for help from your government, which
you don't control.
Speaker 2 (27:49):
I don't know.
Speaker 6 (27:49):
Who came up with the phrase, but I've been using it.
I try to use it with my boys as often
as I can. The only the only thing you can control,
the only hand you can rely on, is the one
at the end of your sleeve. Right, somebody may give
you help.
Speaker 2 (28:09):
I hope it happens.
Speaker 6 (28:10):
I hope somebody extends their hand and gives you an
opportunity that you wouldn't otherwise receive. But the only thing
that you can rely on, the only hand that you
can rely on, is the one at the end of
your sleeve. And so this idea that, oh, the government's
the great savior, Oh the Government's going to ride in
and provide something for you that your own individual work
(28:34):
ethic cannot is a lie. And it's also, to your point, Buck,
such a devastating lie, because what it treats and allows
you to believe is that your failure is entire preordained,
right like you have no hope, no aspirational opportunity in
(28:55):
life because of something you didn't control at birth, which
is your race, your gender, who your parents are, where
you started.
Speaker 2 (29:03):
It's I mean, totally defeating. And this is this is
a far less, far less serious I think than what
we're folksing right now. But I come across this and
I've I've learned this now, and you can never I
know who understands this world very well will agree. Even
you know. Fitness is not fair. People have it is reality.
(29:25):
Everyone always says Oh, it's about this and that and
how you work. Yeah, that's all true. But some people
are gifted, some people have more to work with. Some
people put on muscle faster, some people put on fat faster,
some people are taller, some people put You know, everyone
is We are all unique snowflakes. Everyone is different. You
can sit around and complain and be like, why aren't
I six five and ten percent body fat and have
(29:46):
a metabolism that, or you can just work the best
with what you've got and lived the best life you have.
These are two different philosophies. You can sit around and
complain all day, you know. I mean Clay and I
wish that we were just blessed with forever six. Well
maybe Clay has one, but I wish I could dunk
a basketball buck.
Speaker 6 (30:03):
I could have spent every single hour of my youth,
right teenage into my twenties training. Remember Jimmy, the shoes
that Jimmy on Seinfeld war that were supposed to make
him like a better Remember the Rebock pumps those were
gonna ask you jump, Oh you're I mean everybody got sold.
I mean the idea that if you wear this tennis shoe,
(30:23):
you're gonna be able to jump like Michael Jordan or whatever.
It's a successful marketing ploy right. But I could have
done everything under the sun. I was never going to
be able to dunk a basketball. I didn't have the
physical ability to do it, right, So I could sit around.
Speaker 2 (30:38):
And be like, oh woe is me?
Speaker 6 (30:40):
Or like every other person out there, you try to
find something that you do have a talent in and
develop it to the best of your ability. That's what
the goal of I think about it now, is the
goal of a parent, right, It's what the goal of
a teacher should be. Fine, unique talents push kids toward
their talent that allow them to excel. And so this
(31:01):
defeating and we'll play this sunny hostin clip too from
the view when we come back, the Left is ultimately
selling to all of your kids and grandkids the idea
that they cannot excel without the help of the government.
And that's a lie.
Speaker 2 (31:21):
You know, today has been a good day for me,
not just because Clay and I are hanging out in
this program with all of you fantastic patriots all across
the country, but because of something I got to do
this morning online. Hosted an in depth interview with an
amazing market analyst, Mason Sexton. Yes, my dad, about the
Great Disruption of twenty twenty three. In the past, he
predicted the stock market crash of eighty seven, the top
(31:44):
of the market before the COVID crash. He's made so
many major, major calls, but he's been advising hedge funds
behind the scenes for years until now. Now he has
come forward and he has his first major prediction for
the public in thirty years. He thinks this July things
are gonna get really ugly, but you need to know
how and what to do about it. We're seeing the
(32:06):
signs of this disruption. Banks going under, real estate losing
value at a rapid rate, inflation causing sticker shock at
the grocery store. We see there are problems, but when's
it really gonna hit and what can you do about it?
My dad, Mason Sexton, will tell you why most analysts
are wrong about a coming lost decade in stocks and
why what's coming could be much much worse. This is
(32:27):
his first major prediction in like I said, thirty years.
The video will air tonight at eight pm Eastern five Pacific.
Just go to this website. Disruption twenty twenty three dot com.
It'll direct you to the showing of the video we
taped Disruption twenty twenty three dot com.
Speaker 10 (32:49):
Don't miss a minute of playing fuck and get behind
the scene access to special content for members only. Let's
subscribe to CNB twenty four to seven walk.
Speaker 6 (33:00):
About in Clay Travis Buck Sexton show Target having an
emergency meeting because they are worried about getting bun lighted.
We will tell you about that coming up here at
the top of the third hour, but I wanted to
continue to let you know I think it's important what
dumb people on the left are saying about Tim Scott
(33:22):
announcing for president. They immediately tie him to Clarence Thomas.
And we ripped Joy Behar, who is regularly an imbecile
on virtually every subject. But she's not alone on the
View Sonny Houston, who I believe went to Notre Dame
Law school. If I'm not mistaken, Buck, she is on
the View, and she said about Tim Scott, he thinks
(33:45):
because he made it, everybody can listen. One of the.
Speaker 4 (33:48):
Issues that Tim Scott has is that he seems to
think because I made it, everyone can make it, ignoring
again the fact that he is.
Speaker 5 (33:58):
The exception and not the rule, and until he is
the rule she has, then he can stop talking about systems.
Speaker 6 (34:03):
Clas Thomason, Okay, most people don't become tremendous, huge successes.
Most people don't become United States senators or Supreme Court justices.
That's just a regular numbers game. Tim Scott reacted, though,
and I thought had a pretty compelling response directly to
this Sonny Hostin comment, he says he's not the exception,
(34:26):
He's actually the rule.
Speaker 3 (34:27):
Listen, meekness is not weakness. I believe in the Gospel.
I believe Matthew five forty four says love your enemies
if you break in my house. I also believe in
the Second Amendment. I'm going to make sure that we
defend every single thing we love in this country. We
have to ignore the far left by disproving their lives
by our actions. Here's the funny thing at the host, Sonny,
(34:48):
she wants to be judged by the content of her character,
not the color of her skin. The fact of the
matter is America is the story of evolution, never told
story of evolution, and too many of our schools that
are indoctrinate our kids instead of educating our kids. I'm
not the exception, I'm actually the rule.
Speaker 6 (35:09):
I think it's powerful if you look at people who
have success and you try to buck you know this.
I bet as a kid you did the same thing.
If you look at successful people and try to emulate
many of their characteristics, work, ethic, educational ambition, you know
what happens. You yourself can have a great deal of
(35:32):
success too. And that's why this message of defeatism that
is being sold by the left, I think has to
be roundly rejected. And one of the things that I
think is important about Tim Scott's story is he provides
he's fifty seven. By the way, he grew up in
the sixties, right, I mean long before a lot of
us in the eighties and nineties. I love this story
(35:54):
and I think punching back against the lies is super important.
Speaker 2 (35:58):
We're gonna be talking about coming up here in just
a few minutes, a decision by the Los Angeles Dodgers,
which is a sports franchise. From what I understand, that
is that is upsetting a lot of people, a lot
of Catholics in particular, and has to do with a
(36:19):
group that they are including for a Pride month that
you need to know about. There's also some updates on
the Target front, as in the store Target and how
they're starting to worry a little bit that some of
their did we call it a hot dog hider. I
believe earlier the week someone told me that we can't
do that again because they almost drove into a tree
(36:40):
or something. So but some of their their special bathing suits.
People are upset, and uh, I think Target's taking notice.
Play you're gonna break that down for us. That's an
ext third hour coming up.
