Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome to today's edition of The Clay Travis and Buck
Sexton Show podcast. Third hour of The Clay Travis and
Buck Sexton Show gets going right now. One thing that
is a constant, as you all know that the Democrat
corporate media lies to you all the time, constantly pushing
(00:20):
an agenda. Journalism as a profession is something that people
don't view the same way they used to. And that's
a good thing because it really is worrying propaganda machines
out there. They're pushing agendas, they aren't bringing you just facts.
You all know that. And I actually saw today that
the most regretted above even gender studies and sociology and communications,
(00:48):
there was some pull that was circulating some data out
there this morning that the most regretted major was journalism,
because you know what journalism is, eating and writing and communicating.
You're not getting a leg up on everybody else by
studying journalism in school. In fact, I even know people
who have taught at top j schools, journalism schools, and
(01:12):
they will tell people quietly it's a waste of time
and money. Don't do it. But the journals, Clay, are relentless,
They are true believers in their First of all, they're
this really noxious combination of incredibly arrogant and condescending but
also deeply insecure and aware of the fact that they're
all very replaceable. So it's it's a difficult personality type
(01:35):
to handle, to manage. But we have yet another instance
of the fake news, great term that President Trump gave us,
the fake news, showing us what they're really all about.
NBC news reporter Miguel al McGuire, I think that's right,
was suspended over his now retracted Paul Pelosi story. So
(01:59):
he reported, if we all remember, remember the Paul Pelosi
story that got so much attention, God was attacked. It
was a vicious attack. But people were asking some questions,
as I said, Clay, just on a security basis, how
does this guy just walk into the home of I mean,
I would assume that Capitol police had cameras, they were there,
they were asleep at the wheel, not not ask any questions.
Though it was a right wing Trump supporter. They said
(02:22):
that it's I mean, which this guy's just clearly completely
out of his mind. But so Miguel almaguerre reported that
Nancy Pelosi's husband Paul didn't let on that he was
in danger when the police were at his home right away.
And so there were some questions about this, and Clay,
(02:42):
this is early stage reporting. I mean, think about all
the reporting on something far more serious and horrific than this,
like this shooting at Uvalde. Clearly so much reporting that
was completely wrong. Now in this case, Al mcguerre, it's
not believe he didn't fabricate it. This is just what
(03:03):
was reported to him by law enforcement sources, I would
assume at the time. And they are suspending it. I mean,
he is getting and this is now public, he's getting
an official punishment for this. Oly I'll sit here and
go Okay, So you upset the Libs, you upset the
Democrat narrative in some way, Clay or make things even
more difficult for a news cycle for them, and there
(03:24):
are professional consequences. But you lie about Russia collusion for
four years, you get a pulitzer. That's where we are, Okay,
And I would just point out they could easily have
eliminated all of this uncertainty by releasing some of the
bodycam footage. The police officers have bodycams on them if
(03:44):
they wanted to get the full story. Out there, they
have the charges that they have brought against this guy.
At some point they could have just released the bodycam footage.
How often do you see bodycam footage out there from
police in tumultuous, controversial cases all the time. And your
point on Uvalda is a great one. Everything that we
(04:06):
were told initially on the uval Day School shooting ended
up being a lie. Everything just about and so every
reporter got it wrong because they were lied to. It's
really really amazing. I mean, this was a Today Show
report that they pulled off of the NBC website that
(04:27):
they took completely down, and now they are castigating and
chastising this reporter because he said something. We still don't
know one hundred percent what the story is here because
we haven't seen the full footage or the full details
come out. They just he said something that upset the
Democrat Party and as a result, NBC News the same.
(04:48):
We can't have this. Have you heard? It's just a
good question for everybody out there. Have you heard of
any journalist at NBCCBS, ABC, Washington Post, New York Times,
MSNBCCNN have any journalist been suspended for any Russia collusion
report at all? You mentioned this, but I mean just one.
(05:09):
I haven't seen it publicly that anybody has been suspended
themselves awards for fake legitimate fake news. And I think
this is instructive. I mean, it's all about the areas,
the fact service of the narrative. We all know it.
It's very obvious. We have to keep hammering it though,
because you should not ever lull yourself into thinking or
(05:32):
allow yourself to think. Well, maybe the journals are going
back toward the center, and you know they've realized the
air of their ways. Are you kidding me? I mean
President Trump is likely announcing his run for the presidency tonight,
right to be president for four more years. I've been
saying this, as you know, Clay and have we're listening
for quite some time. The media is just waiting for this,
(05:52):
and then all the anti Trump machinery kicks right back
into place. CNN's talking about the insurrection to four seven.
I mean, this is what many of them think they
need really for for ratings. So it's not like they've
actually decided that what they did in the past was partisan,
dishonest and wrong. But I will say, on the upside
of things, you do have this Elon musk takeover of
(06:16):
Twitter still playing out. There's a couple of bugs, you know,
there's a couple of little issues here and there, just
as the site goes, because Clay and I are both
very active on it, and this may mean that we
will have a site that has true free speech and
real free speech implications going into the next election cycle
(06:37):
that we really didn't in this last one. And everyone
I know, I'm sure you've seen the same thing. Clay,
all of a sudden, all these conservatives, you know, your
engagements up fifty percent, your follow accounts going up more
than it has. Everything that we said about how they
were throttling, and it's all true. They were doing all
kinds of shenanigans behind the scenes of Twitter. The psycho
woke libs were playing every game they could to help
(06:59):
their side and make it all seem like it was
on the up and up. It's a free exchange of
idea site, but this is pretty amazing. Elon tweeted out
this was actually on November thirteenth. I'd like to apologize
for Twitter being super slow in many countries. App is
doing over a thousand poorly batch rpcs just to render
a home timeline. Now, to be fair, I have no
(07:21):
idea what that means. Yeah, I mean like I'm not
pretending to know about any of this stuff. I mean
I sometimes Kerry has to help me, like switch from
the smart TV to the old TV. You know, I'm
not great at this stuff. People like you were in
the CIA. I'm like, yeah, we had smart people who
did that stuff in the CIA too. This guy, though,
Eric Fraunoffer, responds to Elon Musk, who is his boss,
(07:43):
apparently a Twitter I have spent six years working on
Twitter for Android and can say this is wrong, gets
one hundred and two thousand likes. And then some guy
who goes by the Moniker money nerd techie who I
think probably does know about this stuff. I have been
a developer for twenty years, and I can tell you,
as the domain expert here, you should inform your boss privately.
(08:05):
Trying to one up him in public while he's trying
to learn and be helpful makes you look like a spiteful,
self serving dev For developer, mister Eric Fronifer writes, maybe
he should ask questions privately, maybe using slacker email, and
then Elon just tweets in he's fired and he is.
It turns out messing with the richest man in the
(08:28):
world who is also your boss and the new CEO
of your company is a bad idea. Wokesters, I love this.
Let me also just I said this on Fox News
earlier today because we were talking about this story a
little bit. You cannot believe that Elon Musk is going
to have success at Twitter. But there are a lot
(08:50):
of blue checks running around like, oh, Elon Musk doesn't
understand Twitter, he has no hope. This guy is better
at at sending rocket ships to space than NASA is,
and he totally remade the way that we power cars,
both of those things. If you told me right now, Buck,
(09:12):
like twenty years ago, Hey, I think I can send
rockets to space better than NASA, cheaper, more efficiently, and
I can return them, most people would say that's a
really tall order. And if you also said, simultaneously and
while I'm doing that, I'm going to redesign cars so
that we don't have to rely on gas, and I'm
(09:34):
going to electric power them and all these other things,
a lot of people would say that's really difficult to do.
Figuring out a social media app and configuring it and
analyzing it and compared to that, compared to sending rocket
ships to space better than NASA and designing cars without
the combustion engine, this is not very complicated. So I'm
(09:55):
not sure whether the business of Twitter is going to
be a success, because I think they're certainly bet you
can place on that. But the idea that Elon Musk
is not going to be able to understand the mechanics
of Twitter, which this little software engineer, developer, whoever he was,
was sniping at Elon Musk. This is one of the
most brilliant people on the planet and he's already succeeded
(10:18):
in literal rocket ship making and also now in the
car business by redesigning a combustion engine. I think he's
probably gonna be able to handle Twitter. I'm just placing
my bet down on this guy can figure it out.
I'm just also, you know, I don't do the hero
worship thing, but I do live in reality, and I
think when someone is the richest man on the planet
(10:38):
because they've done the things that you've laid out there,
like maybe show a little respect, you know what I mean,
Maybe I'll be like, oh, mister idiot, Elon doesn't know
anything about the back end machinations of the I can't.
I don't even know what you call this thing the software.
Once you start getting into computer science, I mean, it
is a totally might as well be speaking Mandarin. I've
(11:00):
only do what's going on. I'm like you in terms
of tech. I mean, I run a media company, and
we've got a lot of tech obviously involved in that
media company. I mean, when I want to watch Thursday
night football on Amazon, I have to call in my
wife or my kids to figure out how to get
on Amazon streaming as opposed to a traditional cable Like
I hate trying to find sporting events now on my
(11:22):
television because they're streamed so many different ways. But you know,
I still think I'm gonna tell you this now. I
think I'm gonna be able to beat my kids one
day in video games. I feel like old school Nintendo
got us very primed for this. I see everything sorely mistaken.
I think like FIFA twenty thirty five is going to
come out on PlayStation nineteen or whatever, and I'm gonna
(11:43):
I'm gonna be schooling my kids. I think that, you know,
the gap is not as big as people I will
say they have gotten me to play Fortnite against them,
They've gotten me to try to do the Minecraft building
And I grew up on the h I grew up
on video games. Now, you may have played video games
longer than me, right because when I started having kids, like,
(12:03):
they got years of advantage on me. Like they used
something called the pinball machine. That was the that was
the state of the art, you know, when Clay was
coming up the rigs. I'm really I could beat them
in tech Mobowl. You know, you want to play tech Mobowl,
you want to play RBI Baseball, you want to play uh,
you want to play the old school Nintendo eight bit games.
I'll wreck the these kids. But but when it comes
(12:25):
to the modern day Madden, uh, they let dad have
it pretty bad. Yeah, well there you have. So I'm
just I'm just saying that your prediction may may actually
be if somebody, somebody, if somebody gun to your head
says greatest for you at the time, greatest video game
that you ever played? What would it be, Techmo super Bowl,
greatest video game ever created? Um first one with eleven players?
(12:46):
Like it's the best game ever. What about jid Meyer's
Original Civilization? For me? Even though there was that. A
computer game, yes, very nervive, you are. Best day ever
was a computer game. It was amazing. Yeah. I used
to play as Montezuma and then just end up knuking everybody.
It was phenomenal. Blades of Steel, Baseball Stars, RBI Baseball, um,
(13:08):
the original Techmobowl. All of those would be in my
Contra back in the day. Remember I loved the Contra
video game. I also on N sixty four, I remember
the Golden Eye video game multiplayer. Oh, everybody played. That
was revolutionary in its time. And Mario Card. There were
some people who would imbibe illegal substances and play the
Mario card. You say, Mario, isn't it Mario? You say
(13:32):
Mario Mario? Just you might have just caught me be
doing the weird I might have just pulled the clay
there with my pronunciation. Isn't it super Mario Brothers? You
would say super Mario Brothers? Is that the way I
think it's I think you're right. I think it's Mario,
like it's Mario and Luigi. Right, is it Mario or
Mario Lopez? For example, Mario Lopez, Yeah, so it's it's Mario.
(13:54):
I think I don't know. Now. You guys caught me. Mister,
mister Nevada, You just caught me right there you go, Nevada,
I got it right. You've tenned it up. People have
noticed too. Our Nevada listeners are like, thank you. Clay
didn't help though, And although I guess Lombardo got the wind,
I would have liked to have been able to celebrate
two winds. Laxalt is officially conceded, by the way, unfortunately,
(14:17):
and so as we break these things down, you gotta
hit us with the readier began absolutely rising inflation, a
volatle stock market, reaking havoc on retirement accounts, and so
all of US economic uncertainty turns around. Phoenix Capital Groups
suggest you diversify your investments. They're introducing investors to high
value oil and gas here in the US with current
(14:39):
yields from eight to eleven percent apy paid monthly. These
are corporate bond offerings and they're open to both accredited
and non accredited investors. I'm gonna give you the website
for this in a second, but keep in mind, an
investment in bonds has a certain amount of risk associated
with it, and you should only invest if you can
afford to bear the risk of laws. Before making investment decisions,
you should carefully consider and review all risks involved. This
(15:01):
investment has been honored and filed with the SEC. Now
that website address investing with PHX dot com one more
time investing with PHX dot com. Or if you're in
the car, you just want to call them the phone.
It's really easy. The number is three two three Phoenix.
That's three two three, pH Oe n i X. Welcome back,
(15:26):
ed Klay, Travis buck Sexton, show Buck. You mentioned this
in the open. I want to make sure I remember
to hit it so there. Yesterday was a front page
story in the New York Times about the dangers of
transgender surgeries for miners and also puberty blockers. And it's
a fascinating story that they finally acknowledged is a real issue.
(15:47):
And it's a, you know, several thousand words story. But
what I thought was intriguing was, and we made these
analogies before, and I wonder whether there's somebody like who's
kind of a mole inside of the New York Times
that thought to do this the print edition. Yes, I'm
an old man. I read the print newspaper when you
finished that article about the transgender the surgeries, and also
(16:09):
the puberty blockers, there was an article about a ten
year old who got a tattoo. And in that article
about a ten year old who got a tattoo, they
quoted several experts as saying, how in the world could
any parent let their ten year old get a tattoo?
Kids who are that young don't have the ability to
make life altering decisions. I'm paraphrasing. Yet there were many
(16:33):
experts in the article about the puberty blockers saying, well,
if a twelve year old decides they don't want to
go into puberty, we should definitely do it. And the
overriding story year Buck was that when you get puberty blockers,
your bones don't develop like they normally would, and many
of these kids are facing osteoporosis issues where their bones
(16:56):
are brittle because puberty is when many kids I didn't
know this, but your bone strengthened to a large degree
to support and you being able to handle an adult body,
and many of these kids getting puberty blockers are having
issues with their bone strength. In addition to all the
issues that might arise obviously from changing your gender. While
(17:17):
you're still under eighteen years old. So there's something you
know called body integrity identity disorder, which is when somebody
wants to amputate a healthy limb. This is a real
psychological condition. I believe it is still in the DSM.
I think it is still something that the medical community,
(17:38):
psychiatric medical community, will will talk about. There was a
story place as for discussing this yesterday in on Vice,
which is a very left wing so called news organization.
It's like a left wing blog. Trans people are seeking
non binary bottom surgeries. Let's talk about that. We come back,
(17:58):
think about what does that even mean everybody. We'll talk
about this in just a moment, my friends. Most business

(19:09):
we wanted to bring you up to speed on. First
foremost one is that Kevin McCarthy. This is reported by
my friend Henry Rodgers from The Daily Caller has won
the GOP nomination at this stage for Speaker in a
one hundred and eighty eight to thirty one vote, and
(19:31):
McCarthy will, according to Henry here have a lot to do,
still needs two hundred and eighteen supporters to win the
floor vote on January third, but it is looking like
Kevin McCarthy will be Speaker of the House. Another news item,
perhaps just more of a follow up to our discussion
yesterday on the situation in Ukraine. A senior US intelligence official,
(19:55):
according to the Associated Press, has confirmed that Russian missiles
crossed into Poland, a NATO member, and killed two people.
As in there was there were Russian missiles fired into Poland.
I think people would assume that this was, you know,
they were off target. Essentially, this was accidental and a
(20:17):
collateral damage issue. Assume. I'm not sure that's the case,
but when you have two Polish nationals killed on their
own territory and it's a NATO country, I would just
note as Russia is losing, Russia will get more desperate
and trying to come up with a way to off
ramp all of this violence as soon as possible and
(20:39):
end this conflict. I think should be certainly the goal
for the US. I can't speak for Ukraine and the
sentiments over there, but Clay I raised this issue before,
or this this concept before we went into the break there,
and I wanted to address it with everybody now because
while there was much discussion before the midterm election about
(21:01):
issues like transcender indoctrination in schools, which they still want
to do. And drag Queen, not just Drag Queen Story Hour,
but these kind of drag Queen strip shows in front
of small children, you know, the dancing up on the
polls or whatever. All this stuff that goes on. It's weird,
it's inappropriate. We all know this, well, not everybody, but
(21:21):
everyone listening to this knows that. And this was new.
I had never heard of this before. And now I
want to point out this is reported on in Vice,
which is it's essentially like the place for very far
left wing hipsters with you know, this is like a
(21:43):
very far left wing website, I'll put it you that way.
A lot of a lot of nose rings and blue
hair and you know, Black Lives Matter and announcing pronouns
and get your six vact shots. That's kind of the
Vice vibe. So it's they're reporting on this brands. People
are seeking non binary bottom surgeries, is the story here
(22:04):
across the gender spectrum. I'm quoting everybody. Some patients are
looking for mixed sets of genitals or none at all,
and actually receiving this affirming care isn't easy. Okay. A
couple of things here, Clay. Before I let you let
you get into this situation. First of all, you can
(22:25):
tell by the subhead here, the subheadline that the problem
here is, oh my gosh, we're not letting people easily
get mixed genital sets or no genital sets. I want
to be clear. In this article they go into there
are now transgender self identified individuals who want surgery to
have both a penis and a vaginas simultaneously because that
(22:49):
is their gender identity journey or I'm not even sure
which is. I mean this. I think this is probably
the more strange one to have all and to tell
you removed entirely and have only you know, a urinary
tract effectively in that area. This is a thing that
(23:11):
is happening, and some doctors are being told by their
patients that this is the surgery that they want. I
would wonder within the trans left wing activist community, on
what basis this is their truth? On what basis will
they tell them they can't do this? Yeah, this is
all crazy. And my general belief is, if you're over
(23:35):
eighteen years old and you want to make crazy choices
for yourself, you can do it. I think it's unlikely
to lead to you being happier. I think many of
these people are psychologically broken and they feel like they
need to take grave action in order to make themselves happy.
And I suspect very often after all these surgeries, they think, oh,
(24:00):
if I just did this, I would be happy if
I just felt and then they aren't right. But this
is next level crazy. This is just at some point
there is a difference between I mean the analogy on Halloween,
which is, if your kid dresses up like a cowboys
and Indians, then it's totally unacceptable. But if an adult
(24:22):
decides that they want to change their gender and they
demand that you use the pronouns of their choice, it's permissible.
The line I think Matt Walsh added in his and
his What Is a Woman piece, which I thought was
really good, is you don't get to pick your adjectives, right,
so take away the pronoun thing like I'm gonna share
my pronouns with you or whatever else. But I don't
(24:43):
get to say, you can only refer to me as handsome,
you can only refer to me as brilliant, you can
only refer to me as a genius. Like you everybody
out there can make their own determinations about how you
see me or you or anyone else. This idea that
you can demand your pronouns is crazy and I don't
(25:04):
know where the trans agenda goes, but it feels like
many people increasingly are saying, Hey, you wanted to change
your gender or whatever, but you've you've gone off the
crazy train. So what would be fascinating to me? And remember,
we can call this and I do think this is
mental illness. I'm not a doctor, but I would I
would make the argument as a layperson that that's what's
(25:26):
going on here, that clay what we it keeps getting
crazier and they don't stop. I think we need to
be very cognizant of that, meaning that the more you know,
it was oh, just use my pronouns, and now it's oh,
I get to compete against the opposite gender and use
their locker rooms, or else you're a bigot. And by
the administration, by the way, may go back to giving
(25:48):
Title nine protection the transgender athletes, which means the whole
thing then is just a free for all for anybody
who wants to compete against other gender. You have people
demanding that they are put in a woman's prison. Even
if they're a man with a penis, they say, I'm
a woman, so put me in the woman's prison. It
keeps getting crazier. This is the nature of this movement,
of this situation. It never stops. And this is oh
(26:10):
and I would say the most recent manifestation we have
seen is the we gotta get the kids to do this.
We gotta get twelve year olds to take the cub
you know. That's the that's and now a level beyond
that is individuals who are saying, I want to have
no genitalia. I have a right to have a medical profession. Remember,
this is a serious surgery with all kinds of calm.
(26:32):
I mean, you're not you know this is this is
not growing your hair out and putting on lipstick. I
mean this is something you got to be put on,
general anesthesia, you got to have a surgeon, all this stuff.
They want doctors to remove all genitals. So sort of
like you know kenn and Barbie Doll situation here, that
is what they are demanding. And what's fascinating is that
they're getting pushed back from within the trans community. According
(26:54):
to this article, for making it seem too crazy. That's
it's so interesting. So finally wokeness has now turned on
wokeness and they're trying to figure out, can we make
this next step happen. I'm gonna tell you something. They're
gonna keep pushing this. You know what they tried for
a little There are a couple of articles. One thing
they tried for a little while is you are a
bigot if you're a man who is not attracted to
(27:15):
a trans female, because trans women or women, you're a biggot.
They actually, like Huffington Post, had some articles about this
that didn't work. I think they're gonna try this one next,
which is that, hey, if you want to have both sets,
so to speak, it's fine. It's fine. And by the way,
Joe Biden will have some influencer to the White House
(27:36):
and they'll say, oh God, bless you. You know you
got the two sets. He's fine with this. The White
House goes along with all of this. I just don't
know where we go from here. I almost, by the way,
Clay almost flabbergasted with this one, which I've almost never seen.
I can barely speak. I just when you told me
(27:56):
about this, Like basically, the way to think of it
is like if you've ever seen a Barbie doll or
a kindall people are just wiping their entire genitals out.
I don't even know, Like this is clearly psychological, like
they are like clearly like mentally ill. Right. Body identity
(28:17):
integrity disorder is something that that people that are critical
of the transagenda and activism have been bringing up for
years because people realize that you're asking a surgeon to
I don't like my left arm, remove my left arm.
That is essentially, you know, boiled down what we're talking
about here. This is that now basically remove everything down there.
(28:39):
This is body integrity identity disorder, which the transactivist community
was always saying, well, we would, that's totally different. This
is about living your truth. It's actually not that different.
It's just crazy, And I don't know how we get
back to not being crazy. Honestly, spend a lot of
time thinking about that. We'll close out. Donald Trump is
making his and now tonight at nine what do we
(29:02):
hope that he says in this presidential announcement at Mara
Lago tonight at nine buck and I'll discuss certainly we'll
be talking about it tomorrow as well. In the meantime,
getting kids to read not easy. If you have kids,
and I do, I have found it to be very
difficult at times to get them to read, and also
what they read can matter a great deal. You want
(29:24):
to entertain and also inform them, but understand what they
are learning. And that's why I'm such a fan of
Tutle Radio dot com and the Tutle Twins books to
help get your kids to read. They're written for kids.
They take great topics for conversation around the dinner table
with you and your family. They focus very often, the
(29:47):
Tubtle Twins do, on our nation's history. They tell good
stories and they weave in themes about self reliance and
self initiative. History lessons are great, the intentions are even better.
And right now you can treat your family to these books.
Here's how you do it. Go to Tuttle radio dot
com to get these life changing books for the kids

the holiday season. You can entertain and you can also

Tuttle Radio dot Com. Welcome back in Clay Travis buck
(30:33):
Sexton Show. We were talking a little bit about Yellowstone,
which I'm trying to get buck to watch the most
popular show on television, right hold on, hold on. I'm
like on season three. It's not like I'm just making
my way through it. It's very good. Season five started
Monster Audience. I watched the first two episodes on Sunday Night.
Kevin Costner, it's a it's a show. I think it's
(30:55):
fair to say that if you are tired of woke
programming out there, buy in large. Yellowstone is anti woke,
I think would be a way to describe it. Is
it anti woke or is it just what everybody thought
was kind of normal, you know, fifteen or twenty years ago.
It's like the Bill marline about don't say gay Bill.
It's like I read it, it's basically what everybody considered
(31:16):
to be normal about school five years ago, which is
totally true. And I know many of you out there
feel like you're gonna head spinning universe where things have
gone so crazy so quickly. So just say We've got
an announcement tonight from Donald Trump nine pm Eastern Mara Lago.
Expectation is. I mean, you heard him on the show
Donald Trump with Us last Tuesday, a week from a
(31:39):
week ago, and he said, Hey, I'm going to be
announcing down in Mara Lago. Buck. We talked a little
bit about this earlier. What I would want to hear
from Trump is nothing about twenty twenty. I would like
for him to eviscerate the decisions that Joe Biden has made.
And my biggest concern about Trump is that Biden is
(31:59):
a disaster and the Democrats are a disaster. We need
to prosecute the case about why they are doing a
bad job. And I'm concerned that Trump makes everything about himself,
and so we're gonna let Biden and his administration wriggle
off the hook for what otherwise is the worst presidency
(32:20):
of our life. Donald Trump needs to be a prosecutor here.
He needs to go directly after Joe Biden and the
Democrats and not focus on twenty twenty or anything associated
with that. In my opinion, if he's going to put
together a strong candidacy in twenty four, the left wing
apparatus knows how to run against Trump now. We can
(32:43):
argue whether or not that means they know how to
win against Trump again, but they know how to fight
against him nowaday to day. I think this was just
I try to remind everybody of this. Trump in twenty
sixteen caught them sleeping Trump. They thought it was a joke.
CNN was airing his rallies because it would They thought
(33:05):
it looks hilarious to their audience, and it was all
such a carnival and so ridiculous. And he got Billy
the equip they did his analysis of this. It was
like a billion dollars or free advertising from non Fox
networks that were running his running his speeches. They would
cover because it was the most entertaining, amazing thing on TV.
And Jeff Zucker and the rest of his of the
(33:25):
you know, CNN quizzlings were thinking, Haha, this is hilarious.
Hillary's gonna win. They realize what a mistake that was.
It's also why they booted him off for social media folks. Yep,
they don't want it. They don't want him so keeping
it's not the same situation as it was then. So
to Clay's point, if you get a Trump that's focused
(33:46):
on the mission that wants to bring back the coalition
of twenty sixteen that voted for him and is essentially
going to show I think some degree of discipline in
that Foe kiss. That's I think that's the pathway forward
for Trump to make a real go of it here
(34:07):
and to go forward and be able to remember, it's
not just about beating the Democrats in twenty twenty four.
It's also going to be the day in and day
out battles that we have in the meantime, trying to
convince the American people of what's really going on here,
you know, and trying to make sure that wins can
be racked up in states with Republican legislatures and governors.
And Trump is going to be the if he is
(34:29):
the nominee, let's just assume. Let's just assume that he
announces and that he is effectively unchallenged, so we're not
you know, people right now talking to Santist, there are
a lot of people saying they think Pompeo and Nicki
Haley and all these other names are gonna Let's assume
Trump runs and ever goes. You know what, it's his race,
it's his race, and I'm going to stay out of it.
Were that to happen, Trump would be the day facto
(34:50):
leader of the Republican Party for the next two years.
And there's a lot that comes along with that, right,
I mean, every word, every utterance that he makes is
going to go into the new cycle in a way
that will have an effect on policy, have an effect
on perception. So I just think that's what you'd have
to see a Trump that was on board for all
(35:10):
of that. And we'll see. I mean, I don't know.
I'm actually going to talk to some of his people
see if I can get a little bit of a
preview in the next couple of hours of what he's
going to be saying. But I'm I'm very curious, very
curious to see how he comes out of the gate.
I just want him to take the attack to Biden.
What we cannot allow. We cannot allow their failures not
(35:31):
to be the primary story in twenty twenty four. And
so my concern is if Trump turns this into a
relitigation of twenty twenty then it's letting Biden avoid responsibility.
Don't you think he has to go beyond I mean,
we did the Biden sucks and the Democrats are a
horrible thing for the last well we saw it for
the last two years. Obviously wasn't enough in the mid term.
(35:54):
So as a messaging going forward, I mean, I think
Trump needs to put his Reagan hat on here and
inspire people, which, by the way, he did do in
twenty You know, he was pugnacious, but that was part
of the twenty sixteen run. Yeah, and I think you're right.
I think Republicans need to let people know what they're
for because I talked to a bunch of people and
they said, hey, inflation's awful, the economies at disaster, crime, border,
(36:18):
everything else. But when you just point out things are
awful and you don't say, and we're gonna fix it
this way, we need not only to diagnose the problems,
we need to have a solution. So I would also
like for Trump to start to put forward solutions to
help cure the malaise that exists in this country as
a result of Joe Biden having put together so far
(36:40):
the worst presidency in any of our lives. So we're
gonna have the after action assessment of Trump's big announcement
tonight for you tomorrow, plus a whole lot else to
talk about here will have new focus. I think Clay,
we've got to think about how do we make sure
herschel Walker wins this Senate race. It's gonna be a
Terney in a few weeks, no doubt,
Welcome to today's edition of The Clay Travis and Buck
Sexton Show podcast. Third hour of The Clay Travis and
Buck Sexton Show gets going right now. One thing that
is a constant, as you all know that the Democrat
corporate media lies to you all the time, constantly pushing
(00:20):
an agenda. Journalism as a profession is something that people
don't view the same way they used to. And that's
a good thing because it really is worrying propaganda machines
out there. They're pushing agendas, they aren't bringing you just facts.
You all know that. And I actually saw today that
the most regretted above even gender studies and sociology and communications,
(00:48):
there was some pull that was circulating some data out
there this morning that the most regretted major was journalism,
because you know what journalism is, eating and writing and communicating.
You're not getting a leg up on everybody else by
studying journalism in school. In fact, I even know people
who have taught at top j schools, journalism schools, and
(01:12):
they will tell people quietly it's a waste of time
and money. Don't do it. But the journals, Clay, are relentless,
They are true believers in their First of all, they're
this really noxious combination of incredibly arrogant and condescending but
also deeply insecure and aware of the fact that they're
all very replaceable. So it's it's a difficult personality type
(01:35):
to handle, to manage. But we have yet another instance
of the fake news, great term that President Trump gave us,
the fake news, showing us what they're really all about.
NBC news reporter Miguel al McGuire, I think that's right,
was suspended over his now retracted Paul Pelosi story. So
(01:59):
he reported, if we all remember, remember the Paul Pelosi
story that got so much attention, God was attacked. It
was a vicious attack. But people were asking some questions,
as I said, Clay, just on a security basis, how
does this guy just walk into the home of I mean,
I would assume that Capitol police had cameras, they were there,
they were asleep at the wheel, not not ask any questions.
Though it was a right wing Trump supporter. They said
(02:22):
that it's I mean, which this guy's just clearly completely
out of his mind. But so Miguel almaguerre reported that
Nancy Pelosi's husband Paul didn't let on that he was
in danger when the police were at his home right away.
And so there were some questions about this, and Clay,
(02:42):
this is early stage reporting. I mean, think about all
the reporting on something far more serious and horrific than this,
like this shooting at Uvalde. Clearly so much reporting that
was completely wrong. Now in this case, Al mcguerre, it's
not believe he didn't fabricate it. This is just what
(03:03):
was reported to him by law enforcement sources, I would
assume at the time. And they are suspending it. I mean,
he is getting and this is now public, he's getting
an official punishment for this. Oly I'll sit here and
go Okay, So you upset the Libs, you upset the
Democrat narrative in some way, Clay or make things even
more difficult for a news cycle for them, and there
(03:24):
are professional consequences. But you lie about Russia collusion for
four years, you get a pulitzer. That's where we are, Okay,
And I would just point out they could easily have
eliminated all of this uncertainty by releasing some of the
bodycam footage. The police officers have bodycams on them if
(03:44):
they wanted to get the full story. Out there, they
have the charges that they have brought against this guy.
At some point they could have just released the bodycam footage.
How often do you see bodycam footage out there from
police in tumultuous, controversial cases all the time. And your
point on Uvalda is a great one. Everything that we
(04:06):
were told initially on the uval Day School shooting ended
up being a lie. Everything just about and so every
reporter got it wrong because they were lied to. It's
really really amazing. I mean, this was a Today Show
report that they pulled off of the NBC website that
(04:27):
they took completely down, and now they are castigating and
chastising this reporter because he said something. We still don't
know one hundred percent what the story is here because
we haven't seen the full footage or the full details
come out. They just he said something that upset the
Democrat Party and as a result, NBC News the same.
(04:48):
We can't have this. Have you heard? It's just a
good question for everybody out there. Have you heard of
any journalist at NBCCBS, ABC, Washington Post, New York Times,
MSNBCCNN have any journalist been suspended for any Russia collusion
report at all? You mentioned this, but I mean just one.
(05:09):
I haven't seen it publicly that anybody has been suspended
themselves awards for fake legitimate fake news. And I think
this is instructive. I mean, it's all about the areas,
the fact service of the narrative. We all know it.
It's very obvious. We have to keep hammering it though,
because you should not ever lull yourself into thinking or
(05:32):
allow yourself to think. Well, maybe the journals are going
back toward the center, and you know they've realized the
air of their ways. Are you kidding me? I mean
President Trump is likely announcing his run for the presidency tonight,
right to be president for four more years. I've been
saying this, as you know, Clay and have we're listening
for quite some time. The media is just waiting for this,
(05:52):
and then all the anti Trump machinery kicks right back
into place. CNN's talking about the insurrection to four seven.
I mean, this is what many of them think they
need really for for ratings. So it's not like they've
actually decided that what they did in the past was partisan,
dishonest and wrong. But I will say, on the upside
of things, you do have this Elon musk takeover of
(06:16):
Twitter still playing out. There's a couple of bugs, you know,
there's a couple of little issues here and there, just
as the site goes, because Clay and I are both
very active on it, and this may mean that we
will have a site that has true free speech and
real free speech implications going into the next election cycle
(06:37):
that we really didn't in this last one. And everyone
I know, I'm sure you've seen the same thing. Clay,
all of a sudden, all these conservatives, you know, your
engagements up fifty percent, your follow accounts going up more
than it has. Everything that we said about how they
were throttling, and it's all true. They were doing all
kinds of shenanigans behind the scenes of Twitter. The psycho
woke libs were playing every game they could to help
(06:59):
their side and make it all seem like it was
on the up and up. It's a free exchange of
idea site, but this is pretty amazing. Elon tweeted out
this was actually on November thirteenth. I'd like to apologize
for Twitter being super slow in many countries. App is
doing over a thousand poorly batch rpcs just to render
a home timeline. Now, to be fair, I have no
(07:21):
idea what that means. Yeah, I mean like I'm not
pretending to know about any of this stuff. I mean
I sometimes Kerry has to help me, like switch from
the smart TV to the old TV. You know, I'm
not great at this stuff. People like you were in
the CIA. I'm like, yeah, we had smart people who
did that stuff in the CIA too. This guy, though,
Eric Fraunoffer, responds to Elon Musk, who is his boss,
(07:43):
apparently a Twitter I have spent six years working on
Twitter for Android and can say this is wrong, gets
one hundred and two thousand likes. And then some guy
who goes by the Moniker money nerd techie who I
think probably does know about this stuff. I have been
a developer for twenty years, and I can tell you,
as the domain expert here, you should inform your boss privately.
(08:05):
Trying to one up him in public while he's trying
to learn and be helpful makes you look like a spiteful,
self serving dev For developer, mister Eric Fronifer writes, maybe
he should ask questions privately, maybe using slacker email, and
then Elon just tweets in he's fired and he is.
It turns out messing with the richest man in the
(08:28):
world who is also your boss and the new CEO
of your company is a bad idea. Wokesters, I love this.
Let me also just I said this on Fox News
earlier today because we were talking about this story a
little bit. You cannot believe that Elon Musk is going
to have success at Twitter. But there are a lot
(08:50):
of blue checks running around like, oh, Elon Musk doesn't
understand Twitter, he has no hope. This guy is better
at at sending rocket ships to space than NASA is,
and he totally remade the way that we power cars,
both of those things. If you told me right now, Buck,
(09:12):
like twenty years ago, Hey, I think I can send
rockets to space better than NASA, cheaper, more efficiently, and
I can return them, most people would say that's a
really tall order. And if you also said, simultaneously and
while I'm doing that, I'm going to redesign cars so
that we don't have to rely on gas, and I'm
(09:34):
going to electric power them and all these other things,
a lot of people would say that's really difficult to do.
Figuring out a social media app and configuring it and
analyzing it and compared to that, compared to sending rocket
ships to space better than NASA and designing cars without
the combustion engine, this is not very complicated. So I'm
(09:55):
not sure whether the business of Twitter is going to
be a success, because I think they're certainly bet you
can place on that. But the idea that Elon Musk
is not going to be able to understand the mechanics
of Twitter, which this little software engineer, developer, whoever he was,
was sniping at Elon Musk. This is one of the
most brilliant people on the planet and he's already succeeded
(10:18):
in literal rocket ship making and also now in the
car business by redesigning a combustion engine. I think he's
probably gonna be able to handle Twitter. I'm just placing
my bet down on this guy can figure it out.
I'm just also, you know, I don't do the hero
worship thing, but I do live in reality, and I
think when someone is the richest man on the planet
(10:38):
because they've done the things that you've laid out there,
like maybe show a little respect, you know what I mean,
Maybe I'll be like, oh, mister idiot, Elon doesn't know
anything about the back end machinations of the I can't.
I don't even know what you call this thing the software.
Once you start getting into computer science, I mean, it
is a totally might as well be speaking Mandarin. I've
(11:00):
only do what's going on. I'm like you in terms
of tech. I mean, I run a media company, and
we've got a lot of tech obviously involved in that
media company. I mean, when I want to watch Thursday
night football on Amazon, I have to call in my
wife or my kids to figure out how to get
on Amazon streaming as opposed to a traditional cable Like
I hate trying to find sporting events now on my
(11:22):
television because they're streamed so many different ways. But you know,
I still think I'm gonna tell you this now. I
think I'm gonna be able to beat my kids one
day in video games. I feel like old school Nintendo
got us very primed for this. I see everything sorely mistaken.
I think like FIFA twenty thirty five is going to
come out on PlayStation nineteen or whatever, and I'm gonna
(11:43):
I'm gonna be schooling my kids. I think that, you know,
the gap is not as big as people I will
say they have gotten me to play Fortnite against them,
They've gotten me to try to do the Minecraft building
And I grew up on the h I grew up
on video games. Now, you may have played video games
longer than me, right because when I started having kids, like,
(12:03):
they got years of advantage on me. Like they used
something called the pinball machine. That was the that was
the state of the art, you know, when Clay was
coming up the rigs. I'm really I could beat them
in tech Mobowl. You know, you want to play tech Mobowl,
you want to play RBI Baseball, you want to play uh,
you want to play the old school Nintendo eight bit games.
I'll wreck the these kids. But but when it comes
(12:25):
to the modern day Madden, uh, they let dad have
it pretty bad. Yeah, well there you have. So I'm
just I'm just saying that your prediction may may actually
be if somebody, somebody, if somebody gun to your head
says greatest for you at the time, greatest video game
that you ever played? What would it be, Techmo super Bowl,
greatest video game ever created? Um first one with eleven players?
(12:46):
Like it's the best game ever. What about jid Meyer's
Original Civilization? For me? Even though there was that. A
computer game, yes, very nervive, you are. Best day ever
was a computer game. It was amazing. Yeah. I used
to play as Montezuma and then just end up knuking everybody.
It was phenomenal. Blades of Steel, Baseball Stars, RBI Baseball, um,
(13:08):
the original Techmobowl. All of those would be in my
Contra back in the day. Remember I loved the Contra
video game. I also on N sixty four, I remember
the Golden Eye video game multiplayer. Oh, everybody played. That
was revolutionary in its time. And Mario Card. There were
some people who would imbibe illegal substances and play the
Mario card. You say, Mario, isn't it Mario? You say
(13:32):
Mario Mario? Just you might have just caught me be
doing the weird I might have just pulled the clay
there with my pronunciation. Isn't it super Mario Brothers? You
would say super Mario Brothers? Is that the way I
think it's I think you're right. I think it's Mario,
like it's Mario and Luigi. Right, is it Mario or
Mario Lopez? For example, Mario Lopez, Yeah, so it's it's Mario.
(13:54):
I think I don't know. Now. You guys caught me. Mister,
mister Nevada, You just caught me right there you go, Nevada,
I got it right. You've tenned it up. People have
noticed too. Our Nevada listeners are like, thank you. Clay
didn't help though, And although I guess Lombardo got the wind,
I would have liked to have been able to celebrate
two winds. Laxalt is officially conceded, by the way, unfortunately,
(14:17):
and so as we break these things down, you gotta
hit us with the readier began absolutely rising inflation, a
volatle stock market, reaking havoc on retirement accounts, and so
all of US economic uncertainty turns around. Phoenix Capital Groups
suggest you diversify your investments. They're introducing investors to high
value oil and gas here in the US with current
(14:39):
yields from eight to eleven percent apy paid monthly. These
are corporate bond offerings and they're open to both accredited

investment in bonds has a certain amount of risk associated
with it, and you should only invest if you can
afford to bear the risk of laws. Before making investment decisions,
you should carefully consider and review all risks involved. This
(15:01):
investment has been honored and filed with the SEC. Now
that website address investing with PHX dot com one more
time investing with PHX dot com. Or if you're in
the car, you just want to call them the phone.
It's really easy. The number is three two three Phoenix.
That's three two three, pH Oe n i X. Welcome back,
(15:26):
ed Klay, Travis buck Sexton, show Buck. You mentioned this
in the open. I want to make sure I remember
to hit it so there. Yesterday was a front page
story in the New York Times about the dangers of
transgender surgeries for miners and also puberty blockers. And it's
a fascinating story that they finally acknowledged is a real issue.
(15:47):
And it's a, you know, several thousand words story. But
what I thought was intriguing was, and we made these
analogies before, and I wonder whether there's somebody like who's
kind of a mole inside of the New York Times
that thought to do this the print edition. Yes, I'm
an old man. I read the print newspaper when you
finished that article about the transgender the surgeries, and also
(16:09):
the puberty blockers, there was an article about a ten
year old who got a tattoo. And in that article
about a ten year old who got a tattoo, they
quoted several experts as saying, how in the world could
any parent let their ten year old get a tattoo?
Kids who are that young don't have the ability to
make life altering decisions. I'm paraphrasing. Yet there were many
(16:33):
experts in the article about the puberty blockers saying, well,
if a twelve year old decides they don't want to
go into puberty, we should definitely do it. And the
overriding story year Buck was that when you get puberty blockers,
your bones don't develop like they normally would, and many
of these kids are facing osteoporosis issues where their bones
(16:56):
are brittle because puberty is when many kids I didn't
know this, but your bone strengthened to a large degree
to support and you being able to handle an adult body,
and many of these kids getting puberty blockers are having
issues with their bone strength. In addition to all the
issues that might arise obviously from changing your gender. While
(17:17):
you're still under eighteen years old. So there's something you
know called body integrity identity disorder, which is when somebody
wants to amputate a healthy limb. This is a real
psychological condition. I believe it is still in the DSM.
I think it is still something that the medical community,
(17:38):
psychiatric medical community, will will talk about. There was a
story place as for discussing this yesterday in on Vice,
which is a very left wing so called news organization.
It's like a left wing blog. Trans people are seeking
non binary bottom surgeries. Let's talk about that. We come back,
(17:58):
think about what does that even mean everybody. We'll talk
about this in just a moment, my friends. Most business

(19:09):
we wanted to bring you up to speed on. First
foremost one is that Kevin McCarthy. This is reported by
my friend Henry Rodgers from The Daily Caller has won
the GOP nomination at this stage for Speaker in a
one hundred and eighty eight to thirty one vote, and
(19:31):
McCarthy will, according to Henry here have a lot to do,
still needs two hundred and eighteen supporters to win the
floor vote on January third, but it is looking like
Kevin McCarthy will be Speaker of the House. Another news item,
perhaps just more of a follow up to our discussion
yesterday on the situation in Ukraine. A senior US intelligence official,
(19:55):
according to the Associated Press, has confirmed that Russian missiles
crossed into Poland, a NATO member, and killed two people.
As in there was there were Russian missiles fired into Poland.
I think people would assume that this was, you know,
they were off target. Essentially, this was accidental and a
(20:17):
collateral damage issue. Assume. I'm not sure that's the case,
but when you have two Polish nationals killed on their
own territory and it's a NATO country, I would just
note as Russia is losing, Russia will get more desperate
and trying to come up with a way to off
ramp all of this violence as soon as possible and
(20:39):
end this conflict. I think should be certainly the goal
for the US. I can't speak for Ukraine and the
sentiments over there, but Clay I raised this issue before,
or this this concept before we went into the break there,
and I wanted to address it with everybody now because
while there was much discussion before the midterm election about
(21:01):
issues like transcender indoctrination in schools, which they still want
to do. And drag Queen, not just Drag Queen Story Hour,
but these kind of drag Queen strip shows in front
of small children, you know, the dancing up on the
polls or whatever. All this stuff that goes on. It's weird,
it's inappropriate. We all know this, well, not everybody, but
(21:21):
everyone listening to this knows that. And this was new.
I had never heard of this before. And now I
want to point out this is reported on in Vice,
which is it's essentially like the place for very far
left wing hipsters with you know, this is like a
(21:43):
very far left wing website, I'll put it you that way.
A lot of a lot of nose rings and blue
hair and you know, Black Lives Matter and announcing pronouns
and get your six vact shots. That's kind of the
Vice vibe. So it's they're reporting on this brands. People
are seeking non binary bottom surgeries, is the story here
(22:04):
across the gender spectrum. I'm quoting everybody. Some patients are
looking for mixed sets of genitals or none at all,
and actually receiving this affirming care isn't easy. Okay. A
couple of things here, Clay. Before I let you let
you get into this situation. First of all, you can
(22:25):
tell by the subhead here, the subheadline that the problem
here is, oh my gosh, we're not letting people easily
get mixed genital sets or no genital sets. I want
to be clear. In this article they go into there
are now transgender self identified individuals who want surgery to
have both a penis and a vaginas simultaneously because that
(22:49):
is their gender identity journey or I'm not even sure
which is. I mean this. I think this is probably
the more strange one to have all and to tell
you removed entirely and have only you know, a urinary
tract effectively in that area. This is a thing that
(23:11):
is happening, and some doctors are being told by their
patients that this is the surgery that they want. I
would wonder within the trans left wing activist community, on
what basis this is their truth? On what basis will
they tell them they can't do this? Yeah, this is
all crazy. And my general belief is, if you're over
(23:35):
eighteen years old and you want to make crazy choices
for yourself, you can do it. I think it's unlikely
to lead to you being happier. I think many of
these people are psychologically broken and they feel like they
need to take grave action in order to make themselves happy.
And I suspect very often after all these surgeries, they think, oh,
(24:00):
if I just did this, I would be happy if
I just felt and then they aren't right. But this
is next level crazy. This is just at some point
there is a difference between I mean the analogy on Halloween,
which is, if your kid dresses up like a cowboys
and Indians, then it's totally unacceptable. But if an adult
(24:22):
decides that they want to change their gender and they
demand that you use the pronouns of their choice, it's permissible.
The line I think Matt Walsh added in his and
his What Is a Woman piece, which I thought was
really good, is you don't get to pick your adjectives, right,
so take away the pronoun thing like I'm gonna share
my pronouns with you or whatever else. But I don't
(24:43):
get to say, you can only refer to me as handsome,
you can only refer to me as brilliant, you can
only refer to me as a genius. Like you everybody
out there can make their own determinations about how you
see me or you or anyone else. This idea that
you can demand your pronouns is crazy and I don't
(25:04):
know where the trans agenda goes, but it feels like
many people increasingly are saying, Hey, you wanted to change
your gender or whatever, but you've you've gone off the
crazy train. So what would be fascinating to me? And remember,
we can call this and I do think this is
mental illness. I'm not a doctor, but I would I
would make the argument as a layperson that that's what's
(25:26):
going on here, that clay what we it keeps getting
crazier and they don't stop. I think we need to
be very cognizant of that, meaning that the more you know,
it was oh, just use my pronouns, and now it's oh,
I get to compete against the opposite gender and use
their locker rooms, or else you're a bigot. And by
the administration, by the way, may go back to giving
(25:48):
Title nine protection the transgender athletes, which means the whole
thing then is just a free for all for anybody
who wants to compete against other gender. You have people
demanding that they are put in a woman's prison. Even
if they're a man with a penis, they say, I'm
a woman, so put me in the woman's prison. It
keeps getting crazier. This is the nature of this movement,
of this situation. It never stops. And this is oh
(26:10):
and I would say the most recent manifestation we have
seen is the we gotta get the kids to do this.
We gotta get twelve year olds to take the cub
you know. That's the that's and now a level beyond
that is individuals who are saying, I want to have
no genitalia. I have a right to have a medical profession. Remember,
this is a serious surgery with all kinds of calm.
(26:32):
I mean, you're not you know this is this is
not growing your hair out and putting on lipstick. I
mean this is something you got to be put on,
general anesthesia, you got to have a surgeon, all this stuff.
They want doctors to remove all genitals. So sort of
like you know kenn and Barbie Doll situation here, that
is what they are demanding. And what's fascinating is that
they're getting pushed back from within the trans community. According
(26:54):
to this article, for making it seem too crazy. That's
it's so interesting. So finally wokeness has now turned on
wokeness and they're trying to figure out, can we make
this next step happen. I'm gonna tell you something. They're
gonna keep pushing this. You know what they tried for
a little There are a couple of articles. One thing
they tried for a little while is you are a
bigot if you're a man who is not attracted to
(27:15):
a trans female, because trans women or women, you're a biggot.
They actually, like Huffington Post, had some articles about this
that didn't work. I think they're gonna try this one next,
which is that, hey, if you want to have both sets,
so to speak, it's fine. It's fine. And by the way,
Joe Biden will have some influencer to the White House
(27:36):
and they'll say, oh God, bless you. You know you
got the two sets. He's fine with this. The White
House goes along with all of this. I just don't
know where we go from here. I almost, by the way,
Clay almost flabbergasted with this one, which I've almost never seen.
I can barely speak. I just when you told me
(27:56):
about this, Like basically, the way to think of it
is like if you've ever seen a Barbie doll or
a kindall people are just wiping their entire genitals out.
I don't even know, Like this is clearly psychological, like
they are like clearly like mentally ill. Right. Body identity
(28:17):
integrity disorder is something that that people that are critical
of the transagenda and activism have been bringing up for
years because people realize that you're asking a surgeon to
I don't like my left arm, remove my left arm.
That is essentially, you know, boiled down what we're talking
about here. This is that now basically remove everything down there.
(28:39):
This is body integrity identity disorder, which the transactivist community
was always saying, well, we would, that's totally different. This
is about living your truth. It's actually not that different.
It's just crazy, And I don't know how we get
back to not being crazy. Honestly, spend a lot of
time thinking about that. We'll close out. Donald Trump is
making his and now tonight at nine what do we
(29:02):
hope that he says in this presidential announcement at Mara
Lago tonight at nine buck and I'll discuss certainly we'll
be talking about it tomorrow as well. In the meantime,
getting kids to read not easy. If you have kids,
and I do, I have found it to be very
difficult at times to get them to read, and also
what they read can matter a great deal. You want
(29:24):
to entertain and also inform them, but understand what they
are learning. And that's why I'm such a fan of
Tutle Radio dot com and the Tutle Twins books to
help get your kids to read. They're written for kids.
They take great topics for conversation around the dinner table
with you and your family. They focus very often, the
(29:47):
Tubtle Twins do, on our nation's history. They tell good
stories and they weave in themes about self reliance and
self initiative. History lessons are great, the intentions are even better.
And right now you can treat your family to these books.
Here's how you do it. Go to Tuttle radio dot
com to get these life changing books for the kids
(30:08):
in your life. You'll get free workbooks and thirty five
percent off everything you buy. Grandma, Grandpa, aunts, uncle's, mom's dads.
Go check it out today. As we come up on
the holiday season. You can entertain and you can also
educate at Tuttle radio dot com. One more time. That's
Tuttle Radio dot Com. Welcome back in Clay Travis buck
(30:33):
Sexton Show. We were talking a little bit about Yellowstone,
which I'm trying to get buck to watch the most
popular show on television, right hold on, hold on. I'm
like on season three. It's not like I'm just making
my way through it. It's very good. Season five started
Monster Audience. I watched the first two episodes on Sunday Night.
Kevin Costner, it's a it's a show. I think it's
(30:55):
fair to say that if you are tired of woke
programming out there, buy in large. Yellowstone is anti woke,
I think would be a way to describe it. Is
it anti woke or is it just what everybody thought
was kind of normal, you know, fifteen or twenty years ago.
It's like the Bill marline about don't say gay Bill.
It's like I read it, it's basically what everybody considered
(31:16):
to be normal about school five years ago, which is
totally true. And I know many of you out there
feel like you're gonna head spinning universe where things have
gone so crazy so quickly. So just say We've got
an announcement tonight from Donald Trump nine pm Eastern Mara Lago.
Expectation is. I mean, you heard him on the show
Donald Trump with Us last Tuesday, a week from a
(31:39):
week ago, and he said, Hey, I'm going to be
announcing down in Mara Lago. Buck. We talked a little
bit about this earlier. What I would want to hear
from Trump is nothing about twenty twenty. I would like
for him to eviscerate the decisions that Joe Biden has made.
And my biggest concern about Trump is that Biden is
(31:59):
a disaster and the Democrats are a disaster. We need
to prosecute the case about why they are doing a
bad job. And I'm concerned that Trump makes everything about himself,
and so we're gonna let Biden and his administration wriggle
off the hook for what otherwise is the worst presidency
(32:20):
of our life. Donald Trump needs to be a prosecutor here.
He needs to go directly after Joe Biden and the
Democrats and not focus on twenty twenty or anything associated
with that. In my opinion, if he's going to put
together a strong candidacy in twenty four, the left wing
apparatus knows how to run against Trump now. We can
(32:43):
argue whether or not that means they know how to
win against Trump again, but they know how to fight
against him nowaday to day. I think this was just
I try to remind everybody of this. Trump in twenty
sixteen caught them sleeping Trump. They thought it was a joke.
CNN was airing his rallies because it would They thought
(33:05):
it looks hilarious to their audience, and it was all
such a carnival and so ridiculous. And he got Billy
the equip they did his analysis of this. It was
like a billion dollars or free advertising from non Fox
networks that were running his running his speeches. They would
cover because it was the most entertaining, amazing thing on TV.
And Jeff Zucker and the rest of his of the
(33:25):
you know, CNN quizzlings were thinking, Haha, this is hilarious.
Hillary's gonna win. They realize what a mistake that was.
It's also why they booted him off for social media folks. Yep,
they don't want it. They don't want him so keeping
it's not the same situation as it was then. So
to Clay's point, if you get a Trump that's focused
(33:46):
on the mission that wants to bring back the coalition
of twenty sixteen that voted for him and is essentially
going to show I think some degree of discipline in
that Foe kiss. That's I think that's the pathway forward
for Trump to make a real go of it here
(34:07):
and to go forward and be able to remember, it's
not just about beating the Democrats in twenty twenty four.
It's also going to be the day in and day
out battles that we have in the meantime, trying to
convince the American people of what's really going on here,
you know, and trying to make sure that wins can
be racked up in states with Republican legislatures and governors.
And Trump is going to be the if he is
(34:29):
the nominee, let's just assume. Let's just assume that he
announces and that he is effectively unchallenged, so we're not
you know, people right now talking to Santist, there are
a lot of people saying they think Pompeo and Nicki
Haley and all these other names are gonna Let's assume
Trump runs and ever goes. You know what, it's his race,
it's his race, and I'm going to stay out of it.
Were that to happen, Trump would be the day facto
(34:50):
leader of the Republican Party for the next two years.
And there's a lot that comes along with that, right,
I mean, every word, every utterance that he makes is
going to go into the new cycle in a way
that will have an effect on policy, have an effect
on perception. So I just think that's what you'd have
to see a Trump that was on board for all
(35:10):
of that. And we'll see. I mean, I don't know.
I'm actually going to talk to some of his people
see if I can get a little bit of a
preview in the next couple of hours of what he's
going to be saying. But I'm I'm very curious, very
curious to see how he comes out of the gate.
I just want him to take the attack to Biden.
What we cannot allow. We cannot allow their failures not
(35:31):
to be the primary story in twenty twenty four. And
so my concern is if Trump turns this into a
relitigation of twenty twenty then it's letting Biden avoid responsibility.
Don't you think he has to go beyond I mean,
we did the Biden sucks and the Democrats are a
horrible thing for the last well we saw it for
the last two years. Obviously wasn't enough in the mid term.
(35:54):
So as a messaging going forward, I mean, I think
Trump needs to put his Reagan hat on here and
inspire people, which, by the way, he did do in
twenty You know, he was pugnacious, but that was part
of the twenty sixteen run. Yeah, and I think you're right.
I think Republicans need to let people know what they're
for because I talked to a bunch of people and
they said, hey, inflation's awful, the economies at disaster, crime, border,
(36:18):
everything else. But when you just point out things are
awful and you don't say, and we're gonna fix it
this way, we need not only to diagnose the problems,
we need to have a solution. So I would also
like for Trump to start to put forward solutions to
help cure the malaise that exists in this country as
a result of Joe Biden having put together so far
(36:40):
the worst presidency in any of our lives. So we're
gonna have the after action assessment of Trump's big announcement
tonight for you tomorrow, plus a whole lot else to
talk about here will have new focus. I think Clay,
we've got to think about how do we make sure
herschel Walker wins this Senate race. It's gonna be a
Terney in a few weeks, no doubt,
