Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome to today's edition of the Clay Travis and Buck
Sexton Show podcast. A third hour of Clay and Buck
starts right now. Everybody, Thanks for being with us from
all across the country. The stock market down three hundred
points today, just watching that more closely than we normally would,
because well, there has been a whole lot of action
(00:24):
from the banks and from the regulators, from the FDIC,
from the Treasury, the Fed. Banks barred one hundred and
sixty four billion dollars to backstop possible liquidity concerns, and
as I've been saying to everybody, the first phase here
is just to make sure there aren't more runs on
(00:46):
more banks that got on the wrong side of the
interest rates, and you have a cascading effect. You have
counterparty risk where banks have money with other banks, or
have instruments, have financial products that they've sold other banks,
and you know, one goes down, you have contagion. And
so they're trying to stop that. But even beyond that,
(01:06):
we're going to find out here, I think in just
a matter of days, what the Fed plans to do
with interest rates. And remember that Democrats know that the
single most important thing for them politically between now and
election day is avoid a crushing recession, and whatever you
have to do, whatever you have to do to mortgage
(01:30):
your mortgage. The future is fine as long as you
stay in power in the presence, So that's going to
be driving a lot of the thinking. And then in
the Ukraine War side of things, Putin's fury this some
daily mail as International Criminal Court issues a warrant for
his arrest for war crimes and abducting Ukrainian children. The
(01:53):
Kremlin has responded says that this is outrageous, but says
but Kiev meanwhile, meaning the Ukrainian government, says the wheels
of justice are churning. Very curious to know how exactly
the ICC would plan to do this. Even if you
(02:13):
could get Putin to go, Let's say the war were
to end, or there was some kind of a ceasefire,
what are you going to have. You're gonna have some
kind of a team arrest Putin somewhere, and if he
goes to Paris for a meeting, you're gonna grab him.
I'd be interesting stuff, high stakes, that's for short. So
(02:34):
just keeping an eye on that as well. But this
really got my attention because, as we know, there's still
a lot of ongoing there's ongoing effort. It's not among
everyday people so much. It's really in the media, democrat elites, Fauchiites,
public health authorities, I mean the public health authorities that
(02:58):
we all are familiar with at this point, an ih CDC.
They disgraced themselves during COVID, absolutely disgrace themselves. The people
who were the most well known, the most outspoken proponents
of Faucciite policy included Fauci himself. They have no credibility
left at this point. And now they're starting to say, well,
(03:21):
we learned as we went, but that's not what they
said as they were going. And we told them all
along you don't know the answer, you're just insisting you do.
And now they're saying, well, we didn't know the answer,
but that was what we were supposed to do. No,
it's not how it works. You don't get to say
the science is settled, so you get what you want
(03:42):
in terms of policy, and then later on what it's
clear the science wasn't settled, say what can you do
science wasn't settled. That's not going to fly. But this
was particularly interesting to me. A doctor Latipo Joseph Latipo.
He is the state surgeon general here in Florida, and
he is one of the most interesting medical professionals that
(04:05):
you'll hear on these issues. Because Florida, for example, had
they did run effectively a control group study of schools
with masking versus schools without mandatory masking, and we all
know what it'd finds. It's like all the every time
you actually have a control group for all these COVID interventions,
as Fauchi calls them, every time you had some kind
(04:26):
of an actual rigorous scientific study, what ended up happening.
They didn't get the results they wanted. The Democrat Fauci
apparatus would end up having to say, oh, well this
isn't definitive, and they'd find some other self reported study
or something that would be sent that should be considered
(04:47):
scientifically laughable. Anyway, Florida Surgeon General Latipo, Harvard MD, guy
knows about medicine, and look at all the data here
in Florida. He has said, and I just think this
is amazing. You would have been banned on social media
a year ago, certainly, and maybe even you know, six
(05:09):
or seven months ago for saying anything like this and
now here, he is telling you that he's not sure
that anyone should be taking this current vaccine play for
COVID play one. These vaccines have a terrible safety profile
at this point the pandemic. You know, I'm not sure
anyone should be taking them. And that's you know, that
(05:31):
is the honest truth. I don't think anyone probably should
be taken up. They have a terrible safety profile, and
we have unfortunately a CDC and FDA who just very
the most consistent thing they've done is deny the truth.
That's certainly the case. But I would really want to know,
I would really want to take it to a level
(05:51):
beyond this. I would like to see because you know,
at MSNBC and CNN, the New York Times news room
and editorial page, the White House, you know, Karine Jean
Pierre speaking on behalf of Joe Biden, they would all
disagree with this and discount what doctor Latipo here says,
which is really no one at this point, and this
(06:12):
is he's a physician, state state Did I say attorney general.
I meant to say surgeon general. I've made that mistake before.
Obviously state surgeon general. He's also an amazing lawyer, no
state surgeon general, and he's saying that he doesn't think
anybody should be getting the shot. Now, Governor Santis is
(06:32):
pointing out that not only so, he's got his state
surgeon general saying, probably nobody should get this shot. For sure,
the data is clear that there's no need for babies,
for babies to be getting this COVID vaccine. And here
is the governor himself saying that it is crazy that
(06:53):
people like Fauci are still pushing this stuff on them,
the authorities, CDC, these public health people, I mean, their
credibility is shot now because of how they handled this.
I mean, people are just not going to do so
what I would say. I mean, I think Joe's done
a good job of being honest with people, but you
really need to regain trust because I think if you
(07:15):
have something which you want is to be able to
inform the public. Yes, make recommendations, but they are not
going to listen to any of this under current circumstances
because they've just been lied to so many different times.
I mean, the fact that they're still they're pushing these
boosters on the six month old babies, that's insane. It's
absolutely insane. It is insane. And what's remarkable is that
(07:40):
if they were right in pushing this stuff, then they
should be willing to engage and are open to explain
how that's not the case up to now. The numbers
that you can see will show you that really nobody
they think that there's no clear proof that a single
(08:01):
infant in our entire nation died specifically because of a
COVID infection. And even the numbers that they will show
sometimes I'll say it's like fifty or one hundred or
something like this, you would say, well, that is such
a small percentage of risk that if you're going to
vaccinate for COVID based upon that risk percentage, you should
(08:23):
be vaccinated for a hundred other things that could happen
to a baby at that stage. So it just does
not make any sense. It doesn't make any sense. And
by the way I'm taking you through the there's an
escalation here at points being made. Latipo saying nobody should
take the shot in his mind because of side effects.
Descantis is pointing out the governor they're portion that they're
(08:45):
pushing the shot on six month olds is just completely insane,
and Latipo raises the stakes a little bit more here
by saying, I mean this is if you said the
shot had had side effects, you were a monster and
you shouldn't be listened to, and you should be kicked
off of kicked out of the digital public square, off
(09:07):
of TV, fired from your job. Bad person. That's what
they did to us. Joe Biden did that to us.
Joe Biden, and I will not forgive or forget. Was
talking about the recklessness of those who didn't want to
get the shot, how they were exposing loved ones, exposing
co workers to dying from COVID because they weren't getting
(09:27):
the shot, and blaming really creating this cast of undesirables,
blaming people who didn't want to get the shot, who
turned out, of course were correct and they didn't need
to get the shot. But this goes even further than that.
Doctor Latipo, again Florida Surgeon General says, this is something
you're definitely not allowed to say in a lot of plays,
(09:48):
a lot to say it in the Free State of Florida,
but you're not allowed to say it in a lot
of other places. Still that a new study shows, you
know what, I'll let the doctors say it himself. There's
a study published a few weeks ago in a journal
called Lancet. What these authors show? They showed that after
seven months the protection for infection right it you know
(10:08):
it started I don't know, around seventy down, down, down down.
At seven months, it hops onto the other side of
the axis. Right, So it is negative and that continues,
and that the magnitude of that negativity increases over time.
What does that mean, folks? It literally means that the
people who received that vaccine were more likely to contract
(10:32):
COVID nineteen after seven months than the people who denied. Now,
the Lancet is a globally recognized medical journal. This was
published in the Lancet. Does Fauci even try to wrestle
with this possibility publicly? Does anyone even talk about this? No?
If doctor Latipo is wrong, then they should somebody in
(10:56):
the public health establishment should offer to debate him. But
see this. The whole regime of COVID was only possible
because we've entered a period where debate is no longer
something that the left decided years ago the way to
win more power was to set rules where debate itself
(11:17):
platforming speech equals violence. Debate itself is unacceptable. It is
we set the rules, you shut up and obey. That
is the only thing that is acceptable to left anymore.
They will not debate these things publicly. I mean, could
you imagine if Fauci, if somebody who was adequately informed
(11:38):
on both the history of what happened during COVID and
the data, what the real data shows, the real numbers,
and Fauci had to have a public debate with them.
I mean, after a while, you would think it was
you elder abuse against Fauci or something. I mean, it
would just be a it would be a total butt kicking.
But they'll never do that. They'll never allow that, And
they're going to continue and leave a lot of this
(12:01):
COVID apparatus in play so that down the line they'll
be in a position to reinstitute it to remobilize around
another issue, whether it's climate or something else. So it
is important that we get this right. It is important
that we continue because otherwise you're going to have the
little tyrant Fauci and his acolytes saying, yeah, you gotta
(12:25):
get a shot every every year, get your COVID shot,
your COVID shot, or else you're you know, you're a
bad person. Play five. It is likely that this thing
is not going to disappear. It's not going to be eradicated,
and it's not going to be eliminicated, So it's going
to be around, you know, for the foreseeable future. So
(12:47):
it is likely that we will require an intermittent likely
at the same time as we get a flu vaccine
at least once a year, very similar to what we
do to keep updated on our immunity against influenza. It
is very likely that a similar situation will be experiencing
with COVID, namely getting a booster shot once a year,
(13:10):
probably at the same time as we get an influenza shot.
I want to be clear that I was saying two
years ago this is what was gonna end up happening,
right that this would be the obvious transition the to make. Oh,
it used to be if you said it was like
the flu and we should treat it like the flu shot,
you are a horrible person. Now it's policy. They just
act like you're not supposed to know. We have to
(13:33):
win this debate because they're not going to stop, or
we have to win the argument. They won't debate us.
We have to win the argument, and that means we
also have to win power to make them stop. There
are some states where you are free from this madness.
There are others where you still live at the whim
of the COVID lunatics. It's just a question of how
long before they're able to pull some of this stuff
(13:53):
back out and use it against you. To my fellow
gun owners, you all know how expensive AMMO is. Just
like everything else that's been affected by inflation, AMMO has
gone up double digits in the past year. It's making
it that much more expensive to train and keep your
skills sharp when you're making a visit to the range.
But there's a way to train now without ammunition at
your home using a device called the mantis X. All
(14:16):
the best shooters do the majority of their training now
with dry fire practice. That's what mantis X is. A
firearms training system that is a no AMMO, all electronic
way to improve your shooting accuracy, and it chatches to
your firearm like a weapon light and connects to your
blue food your phone via a Bluetooth connection. Mantis x
as an app that gives you data driven real time
(14:37):
feedback in your technique and guides you through drills and courses.
It's effective enough to help nearly everyone. Ninety four percent
of shooters improve in the first twenty minutes of using
mantis X. This product is now being used by US
military and special forces. Its military grade technology at an
affordable price. Start improving your shooting accuracy today. Get yours

(15:00):
s x dot com. Clay Travis and Buck Sexton chuck
up a win for Team Reality. Welcome back to play
a Buck. We have Jesus Revolutions producer who is calling
in calling in next he'll be our guests. You're talking
about the Jesus Revolution film, which doing very well, which
(15:24):
has as I mentioned, Kelsey Grammer at it, which is
pretty cool for those of you who are Frasier fans.
Frasier a radio host with a great voice. So yeah,
that was that was a good show back in the day.
I'm also I think it's so interesting that this this
TikTok story, the background here, everything going on. I know
that a very very small percentage of conservatives overall are
(15:51):
on TikTok, and a lot of them refuse to be
on it. Because of the Chinese spying risks and allegations
and all the rest of it um. But it does
look like the DOJ is now investigating byte Dance, which
is the Chinese company that owns TikTok, for spying on
American citizens, specifically including several journalists. This is what I've
been saying for a while. We need to see the
(16:13):
theoreticals of oh maybe they'll you know, have the access
to the aggregate data of what Americans like and they'll
brainwash our kids. I just want to say, look, what
do you look what your kids are? You know, well,
what do you think they're seeing on Instagram and Facebook?
And it's a lot of the same content anyway. But
if they're actually using this as a platform to target
specific individuals, then that's going to be a big problem.
(16:36):
But I think it's interesting as well that we now
have We don't think of it this way, but it's
really started years ago with Russia today. Remember that Russian which,
oh my gosh, can you imagine now Russia today? Rt
was a cable channel that was trying to grow for
a bit in this country. I used to get it.
I never did it. I refused to do it, but
(16:57):
I used to get occasionally asked to go on our
to talk about some national security thing, and it's effectively
been banned. I think it's banned in Europe. I think
now you can only see RT on like YouTube or something.
It's off the cable channels. I know that this is
going to sound maybe a little bit early on in
(17:18):
this process, but you know, we now have a government
that's deciding that they're just not gonna like certain foreign
foreign companies. Media companies are not allowed. Now. I know
what you say, Oh, well it's Russian state propaganda or
oh TikTok is owned by Chinese Chinese Communist Party. Does
anybody really think they're going to stop there? You think
(17:40):
that that Biden and the rest of them, with all
their disinformation and what they did on COVID, that they
won't try to find ways to ban other disfavored networks
and ideas. I'm just saying, I think there's a principle
that a lot are a lot on the right are
forgetting about all this. That's all. That's all I'm trying
to say here. I think the whole TikTok situation, and
do you really want the government to say, yeah, you're out,
(18:02):

We've got Kevin downs with us now. He is the
producer of a new movie Jesus Revolution the story based
on real events, seated box office expectations. When it came
out a few weeks ago. They had said in the
industry that, you know, maybe to bring in six to
(19:07):
seven million in the opening weekend. It earned more than
fifteen million dollars, came in third at the box office,
just behind the latest Marvel movie. It was playing on
far fewer screens. It's actually number one on per theater
average earnings per screen. And we wanted to talk to
Kevin downs and Now about the movie. I think a
lot of people want to see it. Kevin, thanks for
(19:28):
calling in. Hey, good to be here. How are you today?
I'm good, sir, Thank you. So tell everybody across America,
why do you think this movie has been resonating with
the audiences who have gone out to see it. Well,
I think you know, right now is just a good
time to go out to a movie theater and see
a movie that really has a hopeful and uplifting theme,
(19:49):
and it just really has a unity and love it
is also another theme of it, and that's what our
country needs right now. And so there's so much depressing
news and bad who's coming out of the last few
years that, um, you know, having having a movie that
makes you feel good about life, and that's really sorely needed,
and we're seeing audiences really respond in a significant way.
(20:12):
You need to tell us a bit of the story here,
because it is it's based on a true story of
Pastor Greg Laurie and this was going on, I believe
in southern California. What happened, like what was the Jesus
Revolution the movie's all about. Yeah, Jesus Revolution is based
on a true story. The Jesus Movement which happened, uh,
(20:34):
you know, across the America in the seventies, started in
the late sixties, early seventies in California, and so we
just pick up a piece of this story. There's thousands
of stories that came out of the Jesus Movement. That
time magazine kind of had a cover, a cover of
a psychedelic Jesus and a bunch of photos and pictures
of people being baptized in southern California waters. And so
(20:58):
we just picked up story of a couple of pastors,
one of them a little bit older, Pastor Chuck Smith
Calgary Chapel, and Pastor Greglord. He was actually a teenager
at that time and a pastor, and I just followed
this story of why these hippies that were, you know,
abandoning drugs and rock and roll and all of a
sudden finding their way into churches and what was it
(21:20):
that was causing them to search for something different in
their life and try and have a change. And so,
you know, the themes of love and unity are really
they resound. We've had a lot of audience members that
just show a lot of emotion and a lot of
tears and a lot of people hugging, and certainly our
country need one big fat hug right now. I think.
(21:41):
So the movie's playing really well. We're speaking to Kevin Downs.
He's a producer of Jesus Revolution, which is in theaters now.
You know, Kevin, in addition to being a producer, you're
an actor, writer, director. What's it like trying to get
faith based films made today? What's the attitude like toward
(22:02):
them in Hollywood? Are they starting to see I mean
when films like this happened. I mean, and I've talked
to other people that let's say, just deal with religious
or traditional themes in independent films, and there's always this
oh my gosh, this film is such a big success.
Who would have thought, well, it's like, well, when you
look at a lot of these films when they're well
made and they have a theme that would resonate with
(22:24):
a traditional and often in this case a Christian audience
in particular, it shouldn't be such a surprise. So is
the attitude. Is it opening up for independent films? Maybe
a none of the big studios, but more broadly even
how's that going? Yeah? No, look I think it's going great.
You know, I had a film called I Can Only
Imagine that came out five years ago, did over eighty
(22:48):
two million at the box office for a little seven
million dollars film and our partner lions Gate, which is
one of the big studios that you know, what, can
you guys keep making movies for us? So we signed
to deal with them and finance our films, and you know,
we've done a number of films. Obviously a lot of
that time period has been through this pandemic, so that's
been a challenge. We didn't know we were going to
(23:09):
kind of get into trying to help rebuild the theatrical marketplace,
but really thrilled even to be able to have a
part of that and our in lions It's been awesome
throughout it. I mean, you know, they're thrilled with the
results of Jesus Revolution and just how audiences are truly
responding to the film. They love the film obviously and
want us to make more like that. That really serves
(23:31):
as the audience that covers a lot of Middle America. Well,
that's good to hear. You know, so many times when
we have people that have a Christian message, particularly, they
tell stories about how, oh, you know, nobody would nobody
would work to pick it up, and we had to
independently finance in and all this other stuff. So the
fact that at least one, you know, I know, lions Gate,
one you know name studio that people are familiar with
(23:55):
seeing a lot of movies from over the years, I'm
sure understands that these are good movies and it's a
good business too. So why wouldn't people want to be
involved that that's encouraging. I think, Um, Kelsey Grammar, he's
in your movie. I think you think that's awesome. I'm
kind of a Kelsey Grammar fan. So how did that
come back? Yeah? No, I mean to play pastor Chuck Smith.
(24:15):
I mean, Kelsey kind of embodies who Chuck Smith was
just in his persona and he was kind of the
first first name that kind of popped in mind of
co director genre when John King and me said, what
did you get to Kelsey Grammar? And I said he'd
be great, I mean, would he do it? Let's just
find out, And so we sent the script to his
reps and the next thing we know, we got a yes.
(24:38):
And so I asked Kelsey first day, Hunt said, I'm like,
why did you say yes to this? I'm actually really curious,
and he said, you know, my friends and I we
were kind of getting together one night having dinner, and
we kind of wondered, you know, it wouldn't be great
if if we started doing projects that actually would have
a legacy behind them. And your script came into my
email inbox that very night and I read it. I
(25:00):
thought it was incredible, and so I just told my
people I want to do this, and and here we
are and then and he's such a first of all,
he's a great actor, but he's an even better human being.
I Kelsey's so great and would do another project with
him in absolute heart. The um he kind of is,
you know, he's kind of like that guy next door
that you see, you know, in the movies or in
(25:20):
his TV shows, and you really want to root for him,
and that's who he is as an individuals that I've
found wanting. Also, since the movie is based off of
real people like pastor Greg Lori, have they did they
collaborate at all? Have you heard from them what they
think of the movie? Yeah, definitely. I mean, you know,
the script was based on some interviews that we did
(25:42):
with Greg Lori and his wife Kathy, and then you know,
did some online research from some of the other participants
and kind of you know, there's a bunch of different
stories you could tell in this time period. Certainly you
could go down a dark path, but we just felt
like we really wanted to high highlight the hope and
the love and the unity that some of these people
(26:04):
kind of experienced during this time period. I mean, only
have an hour and forty five minutes or so, it's
all a good movie. And so that was the themes
who wanted to focus on and target on. And Greglorie
was involved actually throughout it acquirement, but he was just
so curious how movies were made and he was a
great help. You know, if we were kind of getting
certain things wrong or something that didn't feel right. Then
(26:25):
we would make tweaks and adjustments and then he's thrilled
with the final product. I mean, just you know, the
movie makes everybody look really really good in a very
good light, and which is the hope and the theme
of all of our movies that we make at Story Companies.
Where can people who I mean, this is a great
weekend to go see a movie. Where can people sort
of find where they can see it? Is there also
(26:46):
going to be a digital streaming option, etc. Yeah, so
right now we're still in theaters. This is our fourth
week in theaters when over two thousand and three hundred
and fifty screens across America and Canada. And so you
just kind of look wherever you find, you know, fan dango,
app or just google Jesus Revolution is probably playing at
(27:06):
the theater near you, and check it out while it's
in theater. It's a movie definitely that is a better
experienced playing with a group of people in a movie theater.
And because it's something to talk about, something to laugh about,
and people who have a really good experience you know,
watching the film together, look really appreciate you being with us.
(27:26):
Kevin Downs Jesus Revolution is the movie. Kevin, thanks so much, Hey,
thanks so much, have a great one. I want to
tell you about a really worthy organization that deserves your attention.
The Preborn Network of Clinics is one of them. This
nonprofit organization gives one hundred percent of their focus to
protecting the lives of unborn children. They accomplish that by
welcoming pregnant women making a decision between abortion and bringing
(27:50):
their unborn child into this world. Every woman has offered
a free ultrasound in addition to support and care and
if needed, supplies and resources for the first couple of
years of life. Once she hears that heartbeat, her maternal
instincts kick in and the majority of the time, she
will choose life. Since Preboard started this life saving ministry
sixteen years ago, over two hundred thousand babies lives have
(28:11):
been saved. For just one hundred and forty dollars, you
can introduce a mom to her baby on ultrasound and
help rescue five babies lives. That's a tax deductible donation,
and a valuable one at that. Consider making a donation today.
Join me in making your own contribution using your cell
phone dial pound two five zero and say the keyword baby.
That's pound two fifty and say baby to connect with

have a couple of days for all of us to
gather to gather up ourselves, get some rest and relaxation
going hopefully, and it's a great time to catch up
on any part of the Clay and Buck Show you
(29:16):
missed from this week, as well as the Deep Dive
podcast we have which are going up now every week.
We've got the Sunday Hang. We've also got different people
long form interviews we do on the Buck Sexton Show,
which goes in the Clay and buckfeed. Basically subscribe the
Clay and Buck podcast feed, and all this cool stuff
(29:36):
will be at your disposal for your listening pleasure whenever
you want to listen on demand. I heeart app a
great way to do it, to downn that iHeart app
or wherever you get your podcasts. And this week thinking,
I spoke to Jedediah biela that came out yesterday talking
about feminism devalued masculinity in American society. Jeddedized fire room
(30:01):
the topic. A really good conversation there. Mark Hemingway, who's
an excellent writer and conservative thinker, joined me. He is
a guy who he's married to Molly Hemingway. Also many
of you know from Fox News. Molly's an excellent writer
and commentator. He knows that the situation of the Pacific
(30:22):
Northwest and the radicalization of politics there so particularly for
a lot of our k X affiliate listeners and people
just up in the Pacific Northwestern general are Spokane affiliate
up in Washington and people listening in Seattle. Mark knows
that that that story of how that part of the
(30:42):
country just became so left wing in the cities, not
in the whole states, and of the states are beautiful
and have far more, far more reasonable and even conservative
politics outside of those urban centers of Portland and Seattle.
But we got into some detail on that was really interesting.
He told me stuff even about the origins of Antifa
(31:03):
out there that I didn't know, which I thought was
was fascinating stuff. So again, subscribe the clan Buck podcast
you can check all of that out. Something else I
thought was kind of fun, I think for the first
time ever. But if I were to ask you, I
love dogs. And I don't know if she's listening, but
my wife Carrie will tell you that we're constantly talking
about how we want to get it. We want to
(31:24):
get a dog. And you know, now we're officially married
and all you know, the weddings out of the way,
it's time to think about some of these things. And
the dog conversation is very interesting. We have slightly different approaches.
I am more compact in the dogs that I tend
to like, and she is. She likes more the more fulsome,
(31:46):
the more the larger, the larger breeds, we could say,
the bigger dogs. So we're trying to find a happy medium.
I think this is so funny though, that finally it
for the longest time, the most commonly owned dog in
all of all of America has been the Labrador retriever.
(32:09):
And I love labs. I just labs to me, or
like the dog. You never go a lab is like
order to cheeseburger at a restaurant. It gets it done,
you're happy, it's always good. It's never it's never the
wrong choice. In my mind. Right now, you could say, oh, well,
I don't have a lab, I have something else. Right,
I'm not saying you have to order the cheeseburger. I'm
(32:31):
just saying you go into a restaurant. It's never a
bad idea to order the cheeseburger. Some would argue the
steak as well, but you know, same idea. Right, you
go into a place, you order the meat loaf, which
maybe is a little more like getting an Afghan hound
here for our purposes of discussion, or a I don't know,
like A I see, I can't. I'm gonna offend somebody
(32:53):
if i'd pick. I'm just trying to pick a more obscure. Uh.
I think it's called a common door? Is a like this?
Isn't that? Producer Ali checked that one? Isn't that the
one that almost looks like a giant mop walking around.
I don't know if any of you or is it.
I don't know if any of you have that dog.
I'd be surprised. That's how rare that one is. Watch
the Commandoor Breed of breeders of America are going to
(33:16):
be emailing you over the weekend. I'm just saying, but
you know, the lab is always a good move, right,
The lab is always a good move. Well, the lab
has been dethroned as America's most popular dog breed. Anyone
want to guess what the most popular breed in America
is right now? According to the American Kennel Club Registration Statistics.
(33:40):
So you know, this is like the authority on dogs
and their numbers out there. This is the equivalent of
the you know, the Census Bureau, but for dogs. Effectively,
the French bulldog is number one now across the country.
The top ten most popular breeds in the US. Now,
(34:01):
I thought this was an interesting one. French bulldogs number one,
laborage door retrievers number two, Golden retrievers number three. Yeah,
it's common door. I was right, the common doors. It
looks like it looks like a giant walking mop. They're
they're you know, really unusual looking looking dogs. And if
(34:22):
I've got if anyone out there has what you gotta,
you gotta become a Clay and Buck VIP subscriber or
Clay and Buck dot com. You gotta send us some
photos of your common door. We should do also some
kind of a cute dog contest for this audience too,
because man, you guys have a lot of dogs, a
lot of cute dogs, and you are fiery about how
you have the cutest and the best dog of all
the dogs. But German shepherds, there's are number four poodles.
(34:47):
Number five I would not have guessed. I would not
have guessed bulldogs I love. I mean, this is this
I believe being English bulldogs. I love English bulldogs. So
that makes sense to me, right. Wilders number seven, Wow,
that's a those are substantial animals. Eight is the beagle,
which I always thought were super cute, but are can
(35:09):
be known to be a little bit a little bit
of a barker's you know, they tend to bark. Just
putting that out there. Docsuns Zibaja hound, Yeah off, Deutschlan's
docs Baja Hound's hound Baja hound docksund. So the doc
suns out there are number nine. I would not have
guessed those little sausage dogs were in the top ten,
(35:31):
but I was. I was, I've learned something new. And
then this was the biggest surprise. German short haired pointers
number ten. Maybe they're just really really popular for um
for hunting, but I had not I can't even think
of a German shorthaired pointer man anyway, French bulldogs taking
the top spot. But you know, you can't go wrong
with with any of these breed. Look, I think you
(35:53):
really can't go wrong with dogs in general. I still
haven't been able to convince carry that because I could
get a lices to have a pet fox in Florida.
Haven't been able to convince her yet that that is
the way to go that a pet fox. Apparently they
like to dig a lot, and they they sent on things,
(36:14):
so you know they're not great for apartments or houses.
But anyway, French bulldog number one. I have a great weekend. Everybody.
If you have a dog or a cat or a
furry friend of any kind of home, make sure you
get some quality time in And if you want to
send us you're cute dog photo at Clayinbuck dot Com
become a VIP great way to send us for photos.
Maybe we can put some of them up there, and
(36:36):
that my friend is gonna be at it. I'm solo
again on Monday. Our main man, Clay coming back on Tuesday.
A little heavier after all the pizza maybe, but excited
to do radio, so they'll be back next week
Welcome to today's edition of the Clay Travis and Buck
Sexton Show podcast. A third hour of Clay and Buck
starts right now. Everybody, Thanks for being with us from
all across the country. The stock market down three hundred
points today, just watching that more closely than we normally would,
because well, there has been a whole lot of action
(00:24):
from the banks and from the regulators, from the FDIC,
from the Treasury, the Fed. Banks barred one hundred and
sixty four billion dollars to backstop possible liquidity concerns, and
as I've been saying to everybody, the first phase here
is just to make sure there aren't more runs on
(00:46):
more banks that got on the wrong side of the
interest rates, and you have a cascading effect. You have
counterparty risk where banks have money with other banks, or
have instruments, have financial products that they've sold other banks,
and you know, one goes down, you have contagion. And
so they're trying to stop that. But even beyond that,
(01:06):
we're going to find out here, I think in just
a matter of days, what the Fed plans to do
with interest rates. And remember that Democrats know that the
single most important thing for them politically between now and
election day is avoid a crushing recession, and whatever you
have to do, whatever you have to do to mortgage
(01:30):
your mortgage. The future is fine as long as you
stay in power in the presence, So that's going to
be driving a lot of the thinking. And then in
the Ukraine War side of things, Putin's fury this some
daily mail as International Criminal Court issues a warrant for
his arrest for war crimes and abducting Ukrainian children. The
(01:53):
Kremlin has responded says that this is outrageous, but says
but Kiev meanwhile, meaning the Ukrainian government, says the wheels
of justice are churning. Very curious to know how exactly
the ICC would plan to do this. Even if you
(02:13):
could get Putin to go, Let's say the war were
to end, or there was some kind of a ceasefire,
what are you going to have. You're gonna have some
kind of a team arrest Putin somewhere, and if he
goes to Paris for a meeting, you're gonna grab him.
I'd be interesting stuff, high stakes, that's for short. So
(02:34):
just keeping an eye on that as well. But this
really got my attention because, as we know, there's still
a lot of ongoing there's ongoing effort. It's not among
everyday people so much. It's really in the media, democrat elites, Fauchiites,
public health authorities, I mean the public health authorities that
(02:58):
we all are familiar with at this point, an ih CDC.
They disgraced themselves during COVID, absolutely disgrace themselves. The people
who were the most well known, the most outspoken proponents
of Faucciite policy included Fauci himself. They have no credibility
left at this point. And now they're starting to say, well,
(03:21):
we learned as we went, but that's not what they
said as they were going. And we told them all
along you don't know the answer, you're just insisting you do.
And now they're saying, well, we didn't know the answer,
but that was what we were supposed to do. No,
it's not how it works. You don't get to say
the science is settled, so you get what you want
(03:42):
in terms of policy, and then later on what it's
clear the science wasn't settled, say what can you do
science wasn't settled. That's not going to fly. But this
was particularly interesting to me. A doctor Latipo Joseph Latipo.
He is the state surgeon general here in Florida, and
he is one of the most interesting medical professionals that
(04:05):
you'll hear on these issues. Because Florida, for example, had
they did run effectively a control group study of schools
with masking versus schools without mandatory masking, and we all
know what it'd finds. It's like all the every time
you actually have a control group for all these COVID interventions,
as Fauchi calls them, every time you had some kind
(04:26):
of an actual rigorous scientific study, what ended up happening.
They didn't get the results they wanted. The Democrat Fauci
apparatus would end up having to say, oh, well this
isn't definitive, and they'd find some other self reported study
or something that would be sent that should be considered
(04:47):
scientifically laughable. Anyway, Florida Surgeon General Latipo, Harvard MD, guy
knows about medicine, and look at all the data here
in Florida. He has said, and I just think this
is amazing. You would have been banned on social media
a year ago, certainly, and maybe even you know, six
(05:09):
or seven months ago for saying anything like this and
now here, he is telling you that he's not sure
that anyone should be taking this current vaccine play for
COVID play one. These vaccines have a terrible safety profile
at this point the pandemic. You know, I'm not sure
anyone should be taking them. And that's you know, that
(05:31):
is the honest truth. I don't think anyone probably should
be taken up. They have a terrible safety profile, and
we have unfortunately a CDC and FDA who just very
the most consistent thing they've done is deny the truth.
That's certainly the case. But I would really want to know,
I would really want to take it to a level
(05:51):
beyond this. I would like to see because you know,
at MSNBC and CNN, the New York Times news room
and editorial page, the White House, you know, Karine Jean
Pierre speaking on behalf of Joe Biden, they would all
disagree with this and discount what doctor Latipo here says,
which is really no one at this point, and this
(06:12):
is he's a physician, state state Did I say attorney general.
I meant to say surgeon general. I've made that mistake before.
Obviously state surgeon general. He's also an amazing lawyer, no
state surgeon general, and he's saying that he doesn't think
anybody should be getting the shot. Now, Governor Santis is
(06:32):
pointing out that not only so, he's got his state
surgeon general saying, probably nobody should get this shot. For sure,
the data is clear that there's no need for babies,
for babies to be getting this COVID vaccine. And here
is the governor himself saying that it is crazy that
(06:53):
people like Fauci are still pushing this stuff on them,
the authorities, CDC, these public health people, I mean, their
credibility is shot now because of how they handled this.
I mean, people are just not going to do so
what I would say. I mean, I think Joe's done
a good job of being honest with people, but you
really need to regain trust because I think if you
(07:15):
have something which you want is to be able to
inform the public. Yes, make recommendations, but they are not
going to listen to any of this under current circumstances
because they've just been lied to so many different times.
I mean, the fact that they're still they're pushing these
boosters on the six month old babies, that's insane. It's
absolutely insane. It is insane. And what's remarkable is that
(07:40):
if they were right in pushing this stuff, then they
should be willing to engage and are open to explain
how that's not the case up to now. The numbers
that you can see will show you that really nobody
they think that there's no clear proof that a single
(08:01):
infant in our entire nation died specifically because of a
COVID infection. And even the numbers that they will show
sometimes I'll say it's like fifty or one hundred or
something like this, you would say, well, that is such
a small percentage of risk that if you're going to
vaccinate for COVID based upon that risk percentage, you should
(08:23):
be vaccinated for a hundred other things that could happen
to a baby at that stage. So it just does
not make any sense. It doesn't make any sense. And
by the way I'm taking you through the there's an
escalation here at points being made. Latipo saying nobody should
take the shot in his mind because of side effects.
Descantis is pointing out the governor they're portion that they're
(08:45):
pushing the shot on six month olds is just completely insane,
and Latipo raises the stakes a little bit more here
by saying, I mean this is if you said the
shot had had side effects, you were a monster and
you shouldn't be listened to, and you should be kicked
off of kicked out of the digital public square, off
(09:07):
of TV, fired from your job. Bad person. That's what
they did to us. Joe Biden did that to us.
Joe Biden, and I will not forgive or forget. Was
talking about the recklessness of those who didn't want to
get the shot, how they were exposing loved ones, exposing
co workers to dying from COVID because they weren't getting
(09:27):
the shot, and blaming really creating this cast of undesirables,
blaming people who didn't want to get the shot, who
turned out, of course were correct and they didn't need
to get the shot. But this goes even further than that.
Doctor Latipo, again Florida Surgeon General says, this is something
you're definitely not allowed to say in a lot of plays,
(09:48):
a lot to say it in the Free State of Florida,
but you're not allowed to say it in a lot
of other places. Still that a new study shows, you
know what, I'll let the doctors say it himself. There's
a study published a few weeks ago in a journal
called Lancet. What these authors show? They showed that after
seven months the protection for infection right it you know
(10:08):
it started I don't know, around seventy down, down, down down.
At seven months, it hops onto the other side of
the axis. Right, So it is negative and that continues,
and that the magnitude of that negativity increases over time.
What does that mean, folks? It literally means that the
people who received that vaccine were more likely to contract
(10:32):
COVID nineteen after seven months than the people who denied. Now,
the Lancet is a globally recognized medical journal. This was
published in the Lancet. Does Fauci even try to wrestle
with this possibility publicly? Does anyone even talk about this? No?
If doctor Latipo is wrong, then they should somebody in
(10:56):
the public health establishment should offer to debate him. But
see this. The whole regime of COVID was only possible
because we've entered a period where debate is no longer
something that the left decided years ago the way to
win more power was to set rules where debate itself
(11:17):
platforming speech equals violence. Debate itself is unacceptable. It is
we set the rules, you shut up and obey. That
is the only thing that is acceptable to left anymore.
They will not debate these things publicly. I mean, could
you imagine if Fauci, if somebody who was adequately informed
(11:38):
on both the history of what happened during COVID and
the data, what the real data shows, the real numbers,
and Fauci had to have a public debate with them.
I mean, after a while, you would think it was
you elder abuse against Fauci or something. I mean, it
would just be a it would be a total butt kicking.
But they'll never do that. They'll never allow that, And
they're going to continue and leave a lot of this
(12:01):
COVID apparatus in play so that down the line they'll
be in a position to reinstitute it to remobilize around
another issue, whether it's climate or something else. So it
is important that we get this right. It is important
that we continue because otherwise you're going to have the
little tyrant Fauci and his acolytes saying, yeah, you gotta
(12:25):
get a shot every every year, get your COVID shot,
your COVID shot, or else you're you know, you're a
bad person. Play five. It is likely that this thing
is not going to disappear. It's not going to be eradicated,
and it's not going to be eliminicated, So it's going
to be around, you know, for the foreseeable future. So
(12:47):
it is likely that we will require an intermittent likely
at the same time as we get a flu vaccine
at least once a year, very similar to what we
do to keep updated on our immunity against influenza. It
is very likely that a similar situation will be experiencing
with COVID, namely getting a booster shot once a year,
(13:10):
probably at the same time as we get an influenza shot.
I want to be clear that I was saying two
years ago this is what was gonna end up happening,
right that this would be the obvious transition the to make. Oh,
it used to be if you said it was like
the flu and we should treat it like the flu shot,
you are a horrible person. Now it's policy. They just
act like you're not supposed to know. We have to
(13:33):
win this debate because they're not going to stop, or
we have to win the argument. They won't debate us.
We have to win the argument, and that means we
also have to win power to make them stop. There
are some states where you are free from this madness.
There are others where you still live at the whim
of the COVID lunatics. It's just a question of how
long before they're able to pull some of this stuff
(13:53):
back out and use it against you. To my fellow
gun owners, you all know how expensive AMMO is. Just
like everything else that's been affected by inflation, AMMO has
gone up double digits in the past year. It's making
it that much more expensive to train and keep your
skills sharp when you're making a visit to the range.
But there's a way to train now without ammunition at
your home using a device called the mantis X. All
(14:16):
the best shooters do the majority of their training now
with dry fire practice. That's what mantis X is. A
firearms training system that is a no AMMO, all electronic
way to improve your shooting accuracy, and it chatches to
your firearm like a weapon light and connects to your
blue food your phone via a Bluetooth connection. Mantis x
as an app that gives you data driven real time
(14:37):
feedback in your technique and guides you through drills and courses.
It's effective enough to help nearly everyone. Ninety four percent
of shooters improve in the first twenty minutes of using
mantis X. This product is now being used by US
military and special forces. Its military grade technology at an
affordable price. Start improving your shooting accuracy today. Get yours

up a win for Team Reality. Welcome back to play
a Buck. We have Jesus Revolutions producer who is calling
in calling in next he'll be our guests. You're talking
about the Jesus Revolution film, which doing very well, which
(15:24):
has as I mentioned, Kelsey Grammer at it, which is
pretty cool for those of you who are Frasier fans.
Frasier a radio host with a great voice. So yeah,
that was that was a good show back in the day.
I'm also I think it's so interesting that this this
TikTok story, the background here, everything going on. I know
that a very very small percentage of conservatives overall are
(15:51):
on TikTok, and a lot of them refuse to be
on it. Because of the Chinese spying risks and allegations
and all the rest of it um. But it does
look like the DOJ is now investigating byte Dance, which
is the Chinese company that owns TikTok, for spying on
American citizens, specifically including several journalists. This is what I've
been saying for a while. We need to see the
(16:13):
theoreticals of oh maybe they'll you know, have the access
to the aggregate data of what Americans like and they'll
brainwash our kids. I just want to say, look, what
do you look what your kids are? You know, well,
what do you think they're seeing on Instagram and Facebook?
And it's a lot of the same content anyway. But
if they're actually using this as a platform to target
specific individuals, then that's going to be a big problem.
(16:36):
But I think it's interesting as well that we now
have We don't think of it this way, but it's
really started years ago with Russia today. Remember that Russian which,
oh my gosh, can you imagine now Russia today? Rt
was a cable channel that was trying to grow for
a bit in this country. I used to get it.
I never did it. I refused to do it, but
(16:57):
I used to get occasionally asked to go on our
to talk about some national security thing, and it's effectively
been banned. I think it's banned in Europe. I think
now you can only see RT on like YouTube or something.
It's off the cable channels. I know that this is
going to sound maybe a little bit early on in
(17:18):
this process, but you know, we now have a government
that's deciding that they're just not gonna like certain foreign
foreign companies. Media companies are not allowed. Now. I know
what you say, Oh, well it's Russian state propaganda or
oh TikTok is owned by Chinese Chinese Communist Party. Does
anybody really think they're going to stop there? You think
(17:40):
that that Biden and the rest of them, with all
their disinformation and what they did on COVID, that they
won't try to find ways to ban other disfavored networks
and ideas. I'm just saying, I think there's a principle
that a lot are a lot on the right are
forgetting about all this. That's all. That's all I'm trying
to say here. I think the whole TikTok situation, and
do you really want the government to say, yeah, you're out,
(18:02):

We've got Kevin downs with us now. He is the
producer of a new movie Jesus Revolution the story based
on real events, seated box office expectations. When it came
out a few weeks ago. They had said in the
industry that, you know, maybe to bring in six to
(19:07):
seven million in the opening weekend. It earned more than
fifteen million dollars, came in third at the box office,
just behind the latest Marvel movie. It was playing on
far fewer screens. It's actually number one on per theater
average earnings per screen. And we wanted to talk to
Kevin downs and Now about the movie. I think a
lot of people want to see it. Kevin, thanks for
(19:28):
calling in. Hey, good to be here. How are you today?
I'm good, sir, Thank you. So tell everybody across America,
why do you think this movie has been resonating with
the audiences who have gone out to see it. Well,
I think you know, right now is just a good
time to go out to a movie theater and see
a movie that really has a hopeful and uplifting theme,
(19:49):
and it just really has a unity and love it
is also another theme of it, and that's what our
country needs right now. And so there's so much depressing
news and bad who's coming out of the last few
years that, um, you know, having having a movie that
makes you feel good about life, and that's really sorely needed,
and we're seeing audiences really respond in a significant way.
(20:12):
You need to tell us a bit of the story here,
because it is it's based on a true story of
Pastor Greg Laurie and this was going on, I believe
in southern California. What happened, like what was the Jesus
Revolution the movie's all about. Yeah, Jesus Revolution is based
on a true story. The Jesus Movement which happened, uh,
(20:34):
you know, across the America in the seventies, started in
the late sixties, early seventies in California, and so we
just pick up a piece of this story. There's thousands
of stories that came out of the Jesus Movement. That
time magazine kind of had a cover, a cover of
a psychedelic Jesus and a bunch of photos and pictures
of people being baptized in southern California waters. And so
(20:58):
we just picked up story of a couple of pastors,
one of them a little bit older, Pastor Chuck Smith
Calgary Chapel, and Pastor Greglord. He was actually a teenager
at that time and a pastor, and I just followed
this story of why these hippies that were, you know,
abandoning drugs and rock and roll and all of a
sudden finding their way into churches and what was it
(21:20):
that was causing them to search for something different in
their life and try and have a change. And so,
you know, the themes of love and unity are really
they resound. We've had a lot of audience members that
just show a lot of emotion and a lot of
tears and a lot of people hugging, and certainly our
country need one big fat hug right now. I think.
(21:41):
So the movie's playing really well. We're speaking to Kevin Downs.
He's a producer of Jesus Revolution, which is in theaters now.
You know, Kevin, in addition to being a producer, you're
an actor, writer, director. What's it like trying to get
faith based films made today? What's the attitude like toward
(22:02):
them in Hollywood? Are they starting to see I mean
when films like this happened. I mean, and I've talked
to other people that let's say, just deal with religious
or traditional themes in independent films, and there's always this
oh my gosh, this film is such a big success.
Who would have thought, well, it's like, well, when you
look at a lot of these films when they're well
made and they have a theme that would resonate with
(22:24):
a traditional and often in this case a Christian audience
in particular, it shouldn't be such a surprise. So is
the attitude. Is it opening up for independent films? Maybe
a none of the big studios, but more broadly even
how's that going? Yeah? No, look I think it's going great.
You know, I had a film called I Can Only
Imagine that came out five years ago, did over eighty
(22:48):
two million at the box office for a little seven
million dollars film and our partner lions Gate, which is
one of the big studios that you know, what, can
you guys keep making movies for us? So we signed
to deal with them and finance our films, and you know,
we've done a number of films. Obviously a lot of
that time period has been through this pandemic, so that's
been a challenge. We didn't know we were going to
(23:09):
kind of get into trying to help rebuild the theatrical marketplace,
but really thrilled even to be able to have a
part of that and our in lions It's been awesome
throughout it. I mean, you know, they're thrilled with the
results of Jesus Revolution and just how audiences are truly
responding to the film. They love the film obviously and
want us to make more like that. That really serves
(23:31):
as the audience that covers a lot of Middle America. Well,
that's good to hear. You know, so many times when
we have people that have a Christian message, particularly, they
tell stories about how, oh, you know, nobody would nobody
would work to pick it up, and we had to
independently finance in and all this other stuff. So the
fact that at least one, you know, I know, lions Gate,
one you know name studio that people are familiar with
(23:55):
seeing a lot of movies from over the years, I'm
sure understands that these are good movies and it's a
good business too. So why wouldn't people want to be
involved that that's encouraging. I think, Um, Kelsey Grammar, he's
in your movie. I think you think that's awesome. I'm
kind of a Kelsey Grammar fan. So how did that
come back? Yeah? No, I mean to play pastor Chuck Smith.
(24:15):
I mean, Kelsey kind of embodies who Chuck Smith was
just in his persona and he was kind of the
first first name that kind of popped in mind of
co director genre when John King and me said, what
did you get to Kelsey Grammar? And I said he'd
be great, I mean, would he do it? Let's just
find out, And so we sent the script to his
reps and the next thing we know, we got a yes.
(24:38):
And so I asked Kelsey first day, Hunt said, I'm like,
why did you say yes to this? I'm actually really curious,
and he said, you know, my friends and I we
were kind of getting together one night having dinner, and
we kind of wondered, you know, it wouldn't be great
if if we started doing projects that actually would have
a legacy behind them. And your script came into my
email inbox that very night and I read it. I
(25:00):
thought it was incredible, and so I just told my
people I want to do this, and and here we
are and then and he's such a first of all,
he's a great actor, but he's an even better human being.
I Kelsey's so great and would do another project with
him in absolute heart. The um he kind of is,
you know, he's kind of like that guy next door
that you see, you know, in the movies or in
(25:20):
his TV shows, and you really want to root for him,
and that's who he is as an individuals that I've
found wanting. Also, since the movie is based off of
real people like pastor Greg Lori, have they did they
collaborate at all? Have you heard from them what they
think of the movie? Yeah, definitely. I mean, you know,
the script was based on some interviews that we did
(25:42):
with Greg Lori and his wife Kathy, and then you know,
did some online research from some of the other participants
and kind of you know, there's a bunch of different
stories you could tell in this time period. Certainly you
could go down a dark path, but we just felt
like we really wanted to high highlight the hope and
the love and the unity that some of these people
(26:04):
kind of experienced during this time period. I mean, only
have an hour and forty five minutes or so, it's
all a good movie. And so that was the themes
who wanted to focus on and target on. And Greglorie
was involved actually throughout it acquirement, but he was just
so curious how movies were made and he was a
great help. You know, if we were kind of getting
certain things wrong or something that didn't feel right. Then
(26:25):
we would make tweaks and adjustments and then he's thrilled
with the final product. I mean, just you know, the
movie makes everybody look really really good in a very
good light, and which is the hope and the theme
of all of our movies that we make at Story Companies.
Where can people who I mean, this is a great
weekend to go see a movie. Where can people sort
of find where they can see it? Is there also
(26:46):
going to be a digital streaming option, etc. Yeah, so
right now we're still in theaters. This is our fourth
week in theaters when over two thousand and three hundred
and fifty screens across America and Canada. And so you
just kind of look wherever you find, you know, fan dango,
app or just google Jesus Revolution is probably playing at
(27:06):
the theater near you, and check it out while it's
in theater. It's a movie definitely that is a better
experienced playing with a group of people in a movie theater.
And because it's something to talk about, something to laugh about,
and people who have a really good experience you know,
watching the film together, look really appreciate you being with us.
(27:26):
Kevin Downs Jesus Revolution is the movie. Kevin, thanks so much, Hey,
thanks so much, have a great one. I want to
tell you about a really worthy organization that deserves your attention.
The Preborn Network of Clinics is one of them. This
nonprofit organization gives one hundred percent of their focus to
protecting the lives of unborn children. They accomplish that by
welcoming pregnant women making a decision between abortion and bringing
(27:50):
their unborn child into this world. Every woman has offered
a free ultrasound in addition to support and care and
if needed, supplies and resources for the first couple of
years of life. Once she hears that heartbeat, her maternal
instincts kick in and the majority of the time, she
will choose life. Since Preboard started this life saving ministry
sixteen years ago, over two hundred thousand babies lives have
(28:11):
been saved. For just one hundred and forty dollars, you
can introduce a mom to her baby on ultrasound and
help rescue five babies lives. That's a tax deductible donation,
and a valuable one at that. Consider making a donation today.
Join me in making your own contribution using your cell
phone dial pound two five zero and say the keyword baby.

great way to do it, to downn that iHeart app
or wherever you get your podcasts. And this week thinking,
I spoke to Jedediah biela that came out yesterday talking
about feminism devalued masculinity in American society. Jeddedized fire room
(30:01):
the topic. A really good conversation there. Mark Hemingway, who's
an excellent writer and conservative thinker, joined me. He is
a guy who he's married to Molly Hemingway. Also many
of you know from Fox News. Molly's an excellent writer
and commentator. He knows that the situation of the Pacific
(30:22):
Northwest and the radicalization of politics there so particularly for
a lot of our k X affiliate listeners and people
just up in the Pacific Northwestern general are Spokane affiliate
up in Washington and people listening in Seattle. Mark knows
that that that story of how that part of the
(30:42):
country just became so left wing in the cities, not
in the whole states, and of the states are beautiful
and have far more, far more reasonable and even conservative
politics outside of those urban centers of Portland and Seattle.
But we got into some detail on that was really interesting.
He told me stuff even about the origins of Antifa
(31:03):
out there that I didn't know, which I thought was
was fascinating stuff. So again, subscribe the clan Buck podcast
you can check all of that out. Something else I
thought was kind of fun, I think for the first
time ever. But if I were to ask you, I
love dogs. And I don't know if she's listening, but
my wife Carrie will tell you that we're constantly talking
about how we want to get it. We want to
(31:24):
get a dog. And you know, now we're officially married
and all you know, the weddings out of the way,
it's time to think about some of these things. And
the dog conversation is very interesting. We have slightly different approaches.
I am more compact in the dogs that I tend
to like, and she is. She likes more the more fulsome,
(31:46):
the more the larger, the larger breeds, we could say,
the bigger dogs. So we're trying to find a happy medium.
I think this is so funny though, that finally it
for the longest time, the most commonly owned dog in
all of all of America has been the Labrador retriever.
(32:09):
And I love labs. I just labs to me, or
like the dog. You never go a lab is like
order to cheeseburger at a restaurant. It gets it done,
you're happy, it's always good. It's never it's never the
wrong choice. In my mind. Right now, you could say, oh, well,
I don't have a lab, I have something else. Right,
I'm not saying you have to order the cheeseburger. I'm
(32:31):
just saying you go into a restaurant. It's never a
bad idea to order the cheeseburger. Some would argue the
steak as well, but you know, same idea. Right, you
go into a place, you order the meat loaf, which
maybe is a little more like getting an Afghan hound
here for our purposes of discussion, or a I don't know,
like A I see, I can't. I'm gonna offend somebody
(32:53):
if i'd pick. I'm just trying to pick a more obscure. Uh.
I think it's called a common door? Is a like this?
Isn't that? Producer Ali checked that one? Isn't that the
one that almost looks like a giant mop walking around.
I don't know if any of you or is it.
I don't know if any of you have that dog.
I'd be surprised. That's how rare that one is. Watch
the Commandoor Breed of breeders of America are going to
(33:16):
be emailing you over the weekend. I'm just saying, but
you know, the lab is always a good move, right,
The lab is always a good move. Well, the lab
has been dethroned as America's most popular dog breed. Anyone
want to guess what the most popular breed in America
is right now? According to the American Kennel Club Registration Statistics.
(33:40):
So you know, this is like the authority on dogs
and their numbers out there. This is the equivalent of
the you know, the Census Bureau, but for dogs. Effectively,
the French bulldog is number one now across the country.
The top ten most popular breeds in the US. Now,
(34:01):
I thought this was an interesting one. French bulldogs number one,
laborage door retrievers number two, Golden retrievers number three. Yeah,
it's common door. I was right, the common doors. It
looks like it looks like a giant walking mop. They're
they're you know, really unusual looking looking dogs. And if
(34:22):
I've got if anyone out there has what you gotta,
you gotta become a Clay and Buck VIP subscriber or
Clay and Buck dot com. You gotta send us some
photos of your common door. We should do also some
kind of a cute dog contest for this audience too,
because man, you guys have a lot of dogs, a
lot of cute dogs, and you are fiery about how
you have the cutest and the best dog of all
the dogs. But German shepherds, there's are number four poodles.
(34:47):
Number five I would not have guessed. I would not
have guessed bulldogs I love. I mean, this is this
I believe being English bulldogs. I love English bulldogs. So
that makes sense to me, right. Wilders number seven, Wow,
that's a those are substantial animals. Eight is the beagle,
which I always thought were super cute, but are can
(35:09):
be known to be a little bit a little bit
of a barker's you know, they tend to bark. Just
putting that out there. Docsuns Zibaja hound, Yeah off, Deutschlan's
docs Baja Hound's hound Baja hound docksund. So the doc
suns out there are number nine. I would not have
guessed those little sausage dogs were in the top ten,
(35:31):
but I was. I was, I've learned something new. And
then this was the biggest surprise. German short haired pointers
number ten. Maybe they're just really really popular for um
for hunting, but I had not I can't even think
of a German shorthaired pointer man anyway, French bulldogs taking
the top spot. But you know, you can't go wrong
with with any of these breed. Look, I think you
(35:53):
really can't go wrong with dogs in general. I still
haven't been able to convince carry that because I could
get a lices to have a pet fox in Florida.
Haven't been able to convince her yet that that is
the way to go that a pet fox. Apparently they
like to dig a lot, and they they sent on things,
(36:14):
so you know they're not great for apartments or houses.
But anyway, French bulldog number one. I have a great weekend. Everybody.
If you have a dog or a cat or a
furry friend of any kind of home, make sure you
get some quality time in And if you want to
send us you're cute dog photo at Clayinbuck dot Com
become a VIP great way to send us for photos.
Maybe we can put some of them up there, and
(36:36):
that my friend is gonna be at it. I'm solo
again on Monday. Our main man, Clay coming back on Tuesday.
A little heavier after all the pizza maybe, but excited
to do radio, so they'll be back next week
