Hour 3 - Cuba Goes Dark, Again
3/23/202637 mincomplete
0:00This is an iHeart Podcast.
0:02Guaranteed human. Welcome everybody to the third hour of the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton
0:09show. We've got stuff to talk about with Iran still.
0:14Updating on that also the TSA backlog created by Democrats on behalf of illegal aliens
0:22who are a Democrat. Let's just be honest.
0:24Foreigners in this country illegally are a Democrat constituency.
0:27One that the Democrats are very devoted to.
0:31And that is why some of you have dealt with horrific lines at airports.
0:36And it is why some of you are canceling travel including spring break plans.
0:41Because you can't get where you have to go.
0:44Because they want to make sure that ICE does not continue its enforcement mission.
0:49We will talk about all that.
0:50But Clay something else I wanted to note here on the on the good news
0:55side of things. A statue of Christopher Columbus has been put up outside of a
1:04federal office building on White House grounds.
1:08This is a replica of a statue that was toppled in Baltimore in 2020 during
1:16the George Floyd mass race panic or racial justice protest as CNN calls it here.
1:23And this is outside the EEOB or EEOB rather Eisenhower executive office building.
1:29This is where Clay was barred for showing up in flip flops and a Tommy
1:33Bahama shirt. You know they said no Mr.
1:35Travis you are not at the beach.
1:37And Clay was like but I'm Clay Travis.
1:38This is how I roll.
1:40Nonetheless the next time you go to the White House Clay will have proper attire
1:44and proper identification. Which was the real issue as we know.
1:48Because for some reason Clay you know the governor.
1:50You should ask your governor why he doesn't get you guys real IDs.
1:53I don't want to get into the real ID feud right now.
1:55But why can't Tennessee just have real compliant you know the real ID compliance.
1:58That's a great question. I think maybe now they are but I can't keep up
2:02with all the real ID shenanigans.
2:04Yeah Clay was like hey man I'm wearing a puka shell necklace.
2:07I'm here to see the big guy.
2:09What's going on? They're like excuse me Mr.
2:11Clay. Not today sir. All right but so outside the EEOB they have a Christopher
2:16Columbus statue that has gone in.
2:19And I have to say this is the White House saying it's proud to honor
2:23Columbus. Celebrating our nation's 250th anniversary of independence.
2:27The White House honors Christopher Columbus's legendary life and legacy.
2:32With a well deserved statue on White House grounds.
2:35Columbus is the original American hero.
2:37This is all from the White House press release on this.
2:39A giant of Western civilization.
2:41One of the most gallant and visionary men ever to walk the face of the
2:44earth. 13 foot tall statue.
2:48Copy of the one thrown into Baltimore Harbor.
2:51By the lunatic iconoclast of the George Floyd cult.
2:56And Clay I. This is one of these things that Trump does.
3:00And it's really a side quest.
3:02Like this isn't the main.
3:03Trump is obviously trying to fix the airports with the TSA.
3:05Trying to win the Iran war.
3:06Or he's got some big things he's working on right now.
3:09This is a side quest but it's a beautiful side quest.
3:12Absolutely love this. Standing up for Columbus.
3:15Putting it on White House grounds.
3:17Putting the statue up on White House grounds in this way.
3:20We were losing so much in this cultural and really this battle over history.
3:26And the way that history affects our culture today.
3:30The explorers. I find that period in history fascinating.
3:34And what the explorers did clearly changed the world.
3:38These were amazing men. Columbus was an amazing individual.
3:42And accomplished a tremendous amount.
3:45And Democrats hate all of that.
3:47And so the fact that they hate it means clearly Trump is doing the right
3:52thing here. For sure. And again I think whoever is able to set the parameters
4:03of historical discussion in this country.
4:06To a large extent is determining the biggest question.
4:10Which is is America a force for good in the history of the world or
4:14not. And as a secondary aspect of that question.
4:19Is Western civilization overall good for America or not.
4:24And good for the world or not.
4:26And to me and for most anybody out there that has ever studied history.
4:29The answer is beyond a shadow of a doubt it is.
4:32The reason why people have the luxury and the time and the resources.
4:37And the ability to argue that Western civilization is awful.
4:41And that America has been a force for evil is largely because the exact opposite
4:45is true. And it is the the incredible luxury of capitalism.
4:51And maybe its ultimate flaw that it produces so much luxury and so much free
4:56time. That people have the opportunity to sit around and argue about whether Western civilization
5:02and American capitalism is a good thing.
5:04I'm watching right now Cuba's in darkness again Buck.
5:07They do not have the ability to produce electricity on the entire island.
5:12Did you see they sent all those influencers to go visit and argue that Cuba
5:17deserved all this different support.
5:19Even Greta the the the young.
5:22Yeah Greta who chases whatever.
5:24You and the player, even today.
5:24Make sure you get your vibes up to explain whatNEcht.
5:24Thank you. Left wing flavor of the moment is Greta, who was the climate change
5:30obsessive, is now saying that it is immoral for the United States not to allow
5:35oil to be shipped to Cuba.
5:38So she I just think that's very, very funny.
5:40In Greta Thunberg's ideal world, we should all live basically in the Stone Ages so
5:45we don't increase the the overall, you know, the price, the temperature around the world.
5:51So now she's arguing that it is immoral not to allow oil and gas to
5:56be delivered to Cuba. And all of these influencers, according to reports, Buck, were staying
6:02at a luxury hotel in Havana, which was the only place in Havana with power.
6:08Oh, wow. What a shock.
6:11You know what else is really shocking?
6:12It turns out that if climate change is an existential threat to all of humanity,
6:18which Barack Obama used to say as if he was some genius for saying it
6:22in formal speeches while he was president, including at the Coast Guard Academy graduation, biggest
6:27national security threat we face is climate change.
6:29Not Russia, not China. No, no.
6:31Climate change. Clay, this is a point of such stupidity.
6:37They continue on with this, but it's a religious belief, so it's unfalsifiable.
6:41If Cuba going into darkness is clearly and metaphorically and literally it is in darkness.
6:49But if Cuba were in darkness, that would cut down the CO2 footprint dramatically.
6:54They should be hailing this as a huge victory.
6:57Right. You know, the Cuban people can just they can they can they can build
7:01windmills and ask China to send them some solar panels.
7:03Right. Oh, no. It turns out that without fossil fuels, you live in effectively dire
7:08poverty. And that is the reality.
7:11You can't live in a modern civilization.
7:12You can't live in a modern world currently without fossil fuels, as we're seeing from
7:16the focus on the Strait of Hormuz and the need to keep the oil flowing
7:20from that region. But, yeah, back to Christopher Columbus for a second.
7:24And the the celebration of American history now and going into the 250th anniversary is
7:33a very, very important thing.
7:35They did a lot of damage to America's sense.
7:40And I mean, it's the Democrats, the left, all the all the hate America first
7:45historiography and all the stuff that was going on.
7:47They did a lot of damage to our unity and to our sense of heroes
7:52of the past and things that we can.
7:55Again, what what do we admire about Columbus?
7:58I'm not saying that Columbus was great on LGBTQ rights, but that's not actually why
8:04there's a statue of him.
8:06He had some areas where he was tremendous.
8:09OK, and I'm I would note something.
8:13MLK. Had some areas where he was great and some areas that we know about.
8:19And you've talked about this Martin Luther King, Jr., that were very far from great.
8:23We just even saw recently.
8:25We didn't talk about it last week.
8:27Cesar Chavez, a hero, quote unquote, of the labor movement in California, a labor guy.
8:35Well, it turns out now multiple allegations of raping children.
8:41And there are over 100 schools named for this individual.
8:47I think like 120 schools across America.
8:50That's crazy. I didn't I didn't realize that.
8:52Yeah. Name that. Yeah. Well, I mean, I'm sure they're almost all in California.
8:56Right. They're lunatics there. But yes, Clay, this guy is he's accused of raping a
9:0112 year old. That is what has come out now.
9:03I mean, this is this is heinous stuff.
9:07You know, this isn't adults at a party and somebody grabs somebody after too many
9:11cocktails. This is being a predator of children that he is accused of.
9:17And I would just note that is the left going to change all these?
9:21Are they going to say, oh, well, there was no trial or, you know, it's
9:24it's look at some of the people that they elevate.
9:26They've elevated Harvey Milk. Other.
9:28You know, you look at these individuals.
9:30The left is willing to elevate, but they want to trash Columbus because he didn't
9:34have the right policy on the on the trans community or because he was too
9:38mean to the natives. The natives were mean, too.
9:40Like everybody was trying to conquer everybody back then.
9:44Yeah. And if you're a history person, I would encourage you to go read some
9:48of the age of exploration books, because what those guys did, it really does boggle
9:56the mind. The risk that they took, the bravery that they showed, the courage that
10:01was in not only from them, but also from their entire crews.
10:06And I think this is important.
10:09We found people basically living very often in Stone Age style civilizations.
10:16No, literally, literally Stone Age level advancement.
10:19And this was true. It was true in the Americas.
10:21Yes. People were living in the Stone Age and they'll say, oh, but look at
10:24the Aztecs. Yeah. What kind of tools were they using?
10:26Why were the Spanish soldiers so invincible to them?
10:30Horses, steel, gunpowder in a very limited fashion.
10:33It was just horses and steel.
10:35Yes. And you go and stop.
10:37I mean, heck, I mean, even not that long ago, I got to take the
10:41awesome trip to Australia with my family a couple of years ago.
10:45The Aboriginal people were living in squalor in the 17th.
10:52and had no connection with the larger world.
10:56I believe the inhabitants, the original inhabitants of Tasmania, the island off of Australia, when
11:02the European explorers first arrived, the inhabitants of Tasmania didn't have a reliable way to
11:09start fire. Think about that.
11:12So you're talking about, yes, it's a clash of civilizations, but it's really Western civilization,
11:18which was on an entirely different level.
11:22And the idea that Columbus, I mean, maybe we can pull the, I know we've
11:26played this a couple of times, I think we play it on Columbus Day a
11:28lot, but the Sopranos episode, which is a very funny one, where they decide that
11:33they're going to go after Christopher Columbus.
11:35I just came back from Italy last year, Buck.
11:37One of the coolest things among many when you tour the Vatican is you can
11:43get a sense for, they have all these maps of the new world.
11:48Because if you go back in time and you think what was the most valuable
11:51asset for intelligence purposes in the 14 -1500s was maps.
11:57And you would protect maps as huge state secrets because as the age of exploration
12:03was taking place, figuring out how to get to the right location was incredibly valuable
12:10and even knowing where it was.
12:12And so I think it's important to push back here in all ways.
12:16And to your point, Buck, this was a, I think it's so symbolic, this was
12:21a toppled statue from during the George Floyd protest that I believe was thrown into
12:26a harbor, I think is the story on this Columbus statue.
12:30And it's now been reclaimed and it's put up outside the old executive office building.
12:35Hundreds of years before some of the South Dakotans listening to this will know what
12:39I'm talking about right away.
12:41Hundreds of years before Columbus even arrived, there was a mass grave site that was
12:46really just a massacre where they piled all the bodies together.
12:49The Crow Creek site. Men, women, and children killed, scalped, mutilated.
12:56Hundreds of years before Columbus even got to the emergency.
12:58And so my point here being, these tribes all lived in a constant state of
13:03warfare. There was no Christian or Judeo -Christian or even Islamic morality that was taught
13:12and imposed. It was just, I got my tribe, we got other tribes.
13:16If you got to kill everybody in that tribe and take their stuff because you
13:18got a cold winter ahead, that's what you do.
13:20Men, women, and children. There were no rules.
13:22There was no nothing. Now, yes, I know, everybody is capable of extreme cruelty.
13:27All different races, all different religions.
13:29That is obvious from all of history.
13:31But it is only the Native Americans, Clay, who get this treatment of, they were
13:36living in harmony. It was like the Pocahontas movie.
13:38They were just like all dancing around in beautiful fields of, you know, amber waves
13:43of grain talking to the sparrows and the raccoons.
13:46No, that's actually not how it was.
13:48I have a book. I told you that it's War Before Civilization.
13:51The only thing that kept people from killing everybody in the tribe was they couldn't
13:54kill everybody in the tribe.
13:55If they could wipe out their adversaries, man, woman, and child, they would do it
13:59regularly. There were basically constant wars.
14:03This is, I've been preaching this book for five years now, a fun read about
14:08undaunted courage is most of those tribes had never seen a white guy before.
14:12And so the danger, obviously, you can imagine of that style of exploration is replicated
14:22in many different of the explorer feats, but worrying that you were going to end
14:28up, not yourself because there was a relatively small group of people traveling, but that
14:33you were going to end up in some way in between two different tribes that
14:38were at war with each other, which was perpetual, basically, on the frontier.

15:55Welcome back in. Clay Travis, Buck Sexton Show.
15:58Okay, I wanted to make sure we mention this, Buck.
16:02This is from Bill Malugin.
16:04This is an awful story.
16:06You're probably not going to see it covered, certainly, on MSNBC or CNN or the
16:11New York Times or the Washington Post.
16:13A young college student from Loyola University.
16:16Her name was Sheridan Gorman.
16:18She was walking. She was walking.
16:19She was walking. downtown in chicago uh in a park with friends thursday morning and
16:26an illegal uh alien an illegal immigrant from venezuela walked up and shot her uh
16:34he was released by the biden administration at the border in may of 2023 he
16:42was also arrested and then released after being arrested for shoplifting in chicago on june
16:4919th 2023 so he's illegally led into the country he was arrested once he was
16:55here he was released and he killed this 18 year old sheridan gorman as she
17:01was out walking in a park in chicago a college kid in chicago again it's
17:08basically lake and riley and it's happening everywhere this is completely unacceptable no matter how
17:16many of these stories we tell uh democrats will not change their minds on this
17:20issue because they think that illegals and their position on illegals benefit their power that's
17:26it they don't care about the casualties they don't care about the murders the rapes
17:30or whatever stopping it by enforcing immigration law not not in the cards for them
17:36unwilling to do it we'll continue to tell you about this but i just think
17:39you should note that this isn't a policy decision that democrats have made that comes
17:45without the most extreme consequences but they are willing to pay that they know the
17:49costs they are aware and they are willing to have other people innocent people pay
17:53those costs so that they can continue to grasp at power all right there's something
17:59really gratifying about giving it everything you've got in the spirit of competition in any
18:03forum for that matter uh when you have the energy to finish strong it's a

19:00clay trattis buck sexton show linda from green valley arizona online she is the reason
19:08we believe that there are ice agents in 13 different airports across the country because
19:13of this call from friday's show listen linda in green valley arizona what you got
19:21for us well clay i think i have a solution to the tsa problem what
19:26we need to do is we need to supplement where we're missing out on tsa
19:30agents who can't afford to work for us anymore we need to bring in ice
19:35agents and and fill in and i think that that that would push the democrats
19:41to sign the um homeland security bill i think it would set their hair on
19:46fire but i mean you know we're already paying for our actually really they're already
19:52funded so they're part of homeland security as long as along with tsa and i
19:57think we just need to bring in the ice agents and fill in and i
20:01also agree that the senators and congressmen need to wait in line thank you for
20:05the call linda that's i'm gonna say it's kind of a brilliant idea what linda
20:09is correct about is the ice agents are being fully paid and so if we
20:14started to supplement when the tsa agents were not there with ice agents oh my
20:20goodness democrats would go absolutely insane okay that was friday linda you are now calling
20:26back in from green valley arizona so let's start with this brilliant idea as we
20:32said on friday what has your phone been like have people recognized you and your
20:38friends in community circles what did you think when you saw the president announce on
20:43saturday hey i'm making this move only one friend actually noticed it and she sent
20:50me a note and she said that she had just heard that the president was
20:54going to put psa agents in the airports and she said way to go so
21:01only one person has commented so far linda you may have changed the world you
21:08know this right like this we can't prove this but you may have changed the
21:11trajectory of this election year of the trump administration and perhaps the world as we
21:17know it that that's just reality how how does that feel well it felt great
21:22i've been trying to call in for over 15 years and i never got in
21:26before so well it was a good it was a good call to get in
21:29no telling how many other ideas you've had that could have changed the world okay
21:33so this idea and sometimes we get as we said earlier ideas and i'm like
21:38yeah that's an interesting idea but it's actually not uh you know feasible how did
21:43you have this idea when when did it come to you were you listening to
21:47the show you you When you thought of it, where did the idea come from
21:50so far as you can trace it?
21:54Well, actually, I have grandkids who were traveling for spring break.
21:58And so I was texting my granddaughter and I asked her how the lines were.
22:02And so she was sharing with me and I thought, this is really stupid.
22:05Why don't we just fill in with the ICE agents because they're all the same
22:09agency? I mean, it's brilliant.
22:12Now we're working. We're going to get you an autographed copy of President Trump's, one
22:17of his hats. We're going to work on that.
22:18That might take a little bit of time.
22:20What we definitely can get you is, much less desirable, but autographed copies of both
22:26Buck and myself's books to thank you for helping to come up with this idea.
22:32And what does it say?
22:33What do you think when President Trump, I talked about your idea on Fox News
22:37on Friday night as well.
22:38What does it say that the president is able to make something like this happen
22:43so quickly that by Monday there would be ICE agents helping TSA agents in 13
22:49different airports? Well, Donald Trump is the kind of president that listens to the American
22:55people, and he's also the type of person, as a businessman, who gets things done,
23:01and he knows how to get things done.
23:02It doesn't have to go through a committee for six months or a year before
23:06you can actually come up with a good idea.
23:08He knows how to do that.
23:10You said you were talking with your grandkids.
23:13How many kids and how many grandkids do you have?
23:16I have two adult children and I have five adults.
23:20grandchildren, and my husband is a retired Marine.
23:24Oh, this is awesome. Well, you can tell them that they have an awesome grandma,
23:28an awesome mom. I'm sure they already know it, but thank you so much for
23:32listening. And you've got the bat phone now, so you have a special job now
23:37if you've got ideas. If you have any thoughts on the Federal Reserve, how to
23:41open the Strait of Hormuz, Linda, you know where to reach us.
23:45Okay. Thanks, guys. That is Linda in Green Valley, Arizona, who called in, brilliant idea,
23:55and just said, hey, what if we used, because they're actually being paid, some ICE
23:59agents to help TSA. And right now, as I speak to you, Buck, lead headline
24:05on CNN is ICE agents among, at several airports, Trump administration deploys ICE agents, also
24:13the lead story on MSNBC.
24:16Now, Fox is actually, Fox News, Trump is at Graceland, and they are showing him
24:25several different pieces of Elvis memorabilia as he is touring Graceland.
24:30I think we have audio of Trump saying that he's in Memphis to celebrate the
24:34fact that crime is down massively at a 25 -year low.
24:38Do we have the audio?
24:39I think we do, of Trump discussing the decline in crime.
24:43Do we have that, guys?
24:4532. But just as we have in D .C.
24:49here in Memphis, we've achieved one of the largest, fastest declines in violent crime ever
24:55recorded. So that's something, right?
24:59Ever recorded. In fact, you're a half a percentage point away from the record, so
25:04we'll catch them in the next month or two, all right?
25:06I think that's going to happen.
25:07But that includes a 60 percent drop in robbers, a 74 percent drop in carjacking,
25:13and motor vehicle thefts. We have always achieved numbers that are good.
25:19These numbers are right on line to be among the best that we've done.
25:22So we've achieved a 76 percent reduction in murders from the peak in this place.
25:28In total, we've arrested 7 ,000 criminals, seized more than 1 ,100 illegal guns, taken
25:36more than 1 ,000 pounds of illicit narcotics, and rescued more than 150 missing children,
25:44making their parents beyond happening.
25:47I bucked this weekend. I was down in Florida, but I met some people from
25:52Memphis, multiple different people from Memphis.
25:54When I meet somebody from Memphis, I just say, hey, how much of a difference
25:57can you tell? And they say that it is transformative.
26:01I mean, that what has happened in Memphis, which has become one of our nation's
26:05most dangerous cities, that it has made an unbelievable difference.
26:10Now, President Trump right now, touring Graceland, as many of you probably have done.
26:16And he told us all about Elvis a little bit earlier, too.
26:19This is Cut 31. You know, I'm going to see Graceland after this, I think.
26:24Is that right? I love Elvis.
26:26I never met Elvis. Everyone said, did you?
26:28I met them all. I met Sinatra.
26:30I knew all of them.
26:31I never met Elvis. Sometimes I feel I should tell the little fibs that I
26:34knew him well. I love Elvis, but I never met him.
26:37But I'm going to go see Graceland after this, I think.
26:40I'm sure it's not going to be a very long stay.
26:43But I want to see that.
26:45Have you ever been to Graceland, Buck?
26:48Ever toured it? I've never been to Memphis.
26:50Ever? Ever. I'd like to go.
26:52I'd like especially to go now.
26:54I think we're number one in Memphis.
26:56I know we have a huge audience there.
26:58Graceland is a really cool place to tour.
27:01What I would say is it does feel weird to tour somewhat modern homes.
27:07When you tour a home, Mount Vernon, for instance, or someplace like that that is
27:14very historic and old. It feels strange to walk through a relatively modern -day home,
27:20but it is still a very, very cool opportunity if you get the chance to
27:25go tour it. And I remember it being a bit, I don't want Memphis people
27:30to get mad at me, I remember it being in a bit of a sketchy
27:34neighborhood. I haven't been in like 15, 20 years.
27:38My wife, we were dating at the time, really wanted to tour Graceland, so we
27:42went. It's been over 20 years, but they have a, yeah, I mean, it's just
27:49kind of a suburban -ish neighborhood back in the day.
27:52I don't think it's so suburban anymore, but kind of wild.
27:58So, again, pretty cool that Trump is there, and again, he is touting this incredible
28:05decline in violent crime. He said murders are down 70 % from their peak.
28:11We talked about this earlier.
28:12You can go look at it yourself if you want to know what Washington, D
28:16.C. crime looks like. Murders are down 65 % there.
28:19These are real, tangible outcomes.
28:22Great results. Lots of lives saved.
28:25Seems like something we should talk about more.
28:27Everywhere, collectively, as a country.
28:28You would think so. Trump has racked up in year one, now in a few
28:36months into year two, the most secure border in our lifetime and the biggest crime
28:42drops in some major American cities in the shortest period of time that we have
28:47ever seen. Honestly, these aren't even, well, the border was a huge thing for him,
28:53but these are things that also I think would be considered the biggest achievement of
28:59another administration, and that would be fine because this is major stuff.
29:04Trump is just getting started.
29:06I mean, there's a lot else, and we haven't even talked about tariffs.
29:08I mean, there's a whole bunch of things that have gone on that I think
29:11are really praiseworthy and show that this administration is getting it done in a lot
29:16of ways on important stuff, on stuff that affects all of us.
29:19So, Clay, the crime drop issue, I still, though, keep coming back to, and so
29:25Democrats don't want to, they don't want to say, you know what, you're right, guys,
29:27let's make all the cities safer.
29:29Yeah. They're not going to do it.
29:30They're not going to do it.
29:31They would rather have people continue to get shot 50 % more in this city,
29:3770 % more in that city, 40 % more.
29:39They'd rather have, you know, 20 -year -olds having funerals with their whole family shattered
29:44and the cycle of violence and communities ruined and all this stuff.
29:48They'd rather have all of that than have law enforcement policies that left -wing maniacs
29:53think are racially insensitive. That's the truth.
29:58In Chicago, we just mentioned this poor 18 -year -old girl who was murdered, Sheridan
30:03Gorman, by a Venezuelan illegal immigrant.
30:07Brandon Johnson has fought to keep President Trump from bringing more security to the city
30:14of Chicago. We know that if they had not let this illegal immigrant into the
30:19country, this girl would still be alive.
30:21We know that if they had merely deported him after he was arrested, she would
30:26still be alive. Twice released, this 18 -year -old college student is dead, and Brandon
30:33Johnson in Chicago has directly fought against the same kind of decline in violent crime
30:40occurring in Chicago that has happened in Memphis.
30:42Results should matter, facts should matter, data should matter.
30:46This is all objective. You can go look it up for yourself, pull up the
30:50Washington, D .C., violent crime, and we focus, we tend to focus on murders on
30:55this show because you can fudge other numbers.
30:59We have to talk about Buck's poor scooter.
31:02Crime got so bad in New York City when they stole Buck's scooter, he didn't
31:06even think to call New York Police Department.
31:08He just had to deal with the fact that his scooter was gone.
31:11When the loss of a scooter goes without consequence, without punishment, what does that say
31:17about society, Clay? What kind of a place are you living in?
31:23Means, oh man, I had a good joke, I think I can say it, means
31:25that heterosexual men have to learn how to walk again.
31:35They can't just scoot, scoot around on their scooters.
31:40I actually think I gained weight because of the scooter because I started scooting everywhere
31:44instead of walking. I'm being totally serious, by the way, walking is so important.
31:48I tell everybody this, it's a big part of it, walking is so important.
31:52You need to set a step counter up on your phone, on your watch, or
31:55whatever you can, 10 ,000 a day.
31:58You really want to get more like 12 ,000 to 15 ,000 steps a day,
32:01every day. I try to walk when the weather's good and make phone calls.
32:05Now, some people think you look a little bit ridiculous walking around in your neighborhood
32:08just making phone calls, but the other option is you sit in your house and
32:11you're in a chair. No, I do that too.
32:13I want to take calls.
32:14This is the only thing I hate about Zoom now.
32:16Well, there are a lot of things probably I hate about Zoom, but I just
32:19want to be able to take calls while I'm walking.
32:21You have my total attention.
32:22I just don't want to be getting slowly, fatter, and dying more quickly over time
32:26because I have to sit.
32:27Sitting all day is bad.
32:29Sitting all day is bad.
32:30I'm being mocked, I'm told, in the New York City studio for sounding like Michael
32:34Scott when I dropped my great joke from The Office, one of the all -time
32:38great comedies that, frankly, I'm not sure they could make anymore because it's such a
32:43good joke. Comedy, that there's lots of things, as great comedies have, that might be
32:46a little bit offensive to people at times.
32:47That's why Republicans should be the party that likes jokes.
32:50Let me tell you, prize picks.

34:18Welcome back in. Clay Travis, Buck Sexton Show.
34:22Appreciate all of you hanging out with us.
34:24Our thanks to Linda in Green Valley, Arizona.
34:28Awesome story. TSA agents are now deployed because, I really do believe this, of her
34:35call on Friday. They are now deployed at airports all over the country.
34:39And I do think this is a good opportunity for us to say thank you
34:43because I found out about the Linda results.
34:46A couple of buddies texted me as soon as President Trump's truth comment went up,
34:51but they had been listening to the program and knew what Linda said.
34:54But also then, in the mentions, every time this story comes up, you guys have
35:00flooded the mentions saying, I was listening to Clay and Buck when the Linda story
35:05happened. This is a direct result of that.
35:07And I do think it speaks to the rapidity with which Trump and his team
35:13can hear an idea and act upon it is unprecedented in modern political history.
35:20Usually, what happens, Buck, you know, you worked in the government.
35:24Somebody has an idea. There are six months of meetings about what the implications of
35:28the idea might be. There's no actual action that's ever taken.
35:33And as a result, good ideas just die inside of government because the bureaucracy kind
35:40of smothers them. Here, we've got a direct, tangible, I think, positive result of an
35:46idea that one of y 'all had brought it to the show and helped to
35:49get it into the White House ecosystem, and the brain trust made it happen.
35:54Talkback D, this is Teresa from Grand Rapids, Michigan.
35:58Play it. Hey, if you want to play the flute, I would be happy to
36:05play a duet with you because I play the flute, too, and I'm 69 years
36:09old. 69. There we go.
36:13We've got a Clay Travis fan.
36:14No surprise. Let's see. Podcast listener, Kurt, Port St.
36:19Port St. Lucie, Florida. I've got to say, that caller that you had last week
36:25with the idea about the ICE agents, man, did she crush it.
36:29If we can get her back on, let her talk whatever she needs to talk,
36:34boy, everybody is listening. I bet she, among everybody else, feels really good that an
36:41idea that she came up with is actually being implemented.
36:45Super cool. Yeah, man, we're changing the world on this show with our brilliant audience.
36:49Thank you all. Quite a collaboration we have going on here.
36:54Just saving America, Clay and Buck style.
