Clay Travis
Welcome in Clay Travis Buck Sexton SHOW thanks to Buck for holding down the fort yesterday. I was helping to raise money down here in South Florida for Tunnels the Towers at their incredible golf event that they hosted at Trump International in West Palm Beach. We'll talk about that experience and how playing that course has me even angrier about the fact that they allowed an assassin to get within a very close distance would be assassin of Trump. Even after Butler, Pennsylvania. Having played that course, having played that hole, I can now tell you, I mean, indefensible. We'll talk about some of that. But we got a bunch of stories underway right now. First of all, if you are listening to us and you are in the 1st congressional district of Florida, that is along the there too.
- [00:54]
Buck Sexton
Oh, I'm sorry, first and six.
- [00:55]
Clay Travis
Jimmy Petronas is going to be with us on the Florida Panhandle. You need to get out and vote. I know we just had an election in November. Sometimes it's hard to keep up with all of these different things. Matt Gaetz stepped down. There is a special election. Jimmy Petronis going to join us at 1230 Eastern Florida, 1st Congressional District. What I think of as God's country, the Florida Panhandle. I love it up there. I know many of you are listening to us right now. Randy Fine, Florida six, Buck, you talked to him yesterday. This is the Daytona, Florida, St. Augustine area. If you are in that area and you are listening to us right now, you need to get out and vote as well. You have a special election to replace Waltz, who was Mike Waltz, who was the congressman there for a long time. The voting is underway. And if you are listening to us in the state of Wisconsin, as I know many of you are, major Supreme Court case there. Brad Schimmel, we had him on the show last week. If Democrats win control of the Wisconsin Supreme Court, they are going to redraw congressional districts and they will take away two different Republican seats. That's really what's at stake in Wisconsin. Trump won it by 30,000 votes. If Trump's voters show up, then Brad Schimmel will win that race. Three races. I know it's only been six months basically since the election and, and it's easy to not be paying attention in your particular districts. Florida 1, Florida 6. If you're on the Panhandle and you're listening to us, go vote right now on your lunch break. If you're listening to us in Florida 6, do the same. And all over the state of Wisconsin, Brad Schimmel, get out and vote. It is also April Fool's Day. Keep your heads on a swivel. I texted my 14 year old this morning, buck, hey, be careful, it's April Fools. And, and he texted me back, I don't get fooled, dad. So my 14 year old, amazing text message response. I don't get fooled, dad. But some of you may get fooled. And so keep your heads on a swivel there. In fact, not to throw anybody under the bus, but Buck Sexton may have texted me this morning. Already being fooled. Already being fooled.
- [03:13]
Buck Sexton
This was off the record about already being fooled about spirit sports, which I know nothing.
- [03:18]
Clay Travis
Tiger woods tweeted that he was having a miraculous comeback from his Achilles tendon and was set up to play in the Masters. Buck sent it to me. I was thinking to myself, oh my goodness, how in the world did this happen? And then I thought, it's April Fools, you just got to keep your. I don't, I don't know about.
- [03:34]
Buck Sexton
Wait, why wouldn't he be able to play in the Masters? Why is that?
- [03:37]
Clay Travis
I don't think he can walk. Oh, he just ruptured his.
- [03:42]
Buck Sexton
I didn't know that. I thought it was an old injury.
- [03:44]
Clay Travis
No, no, no. He just announced he had ruptured his Attila.
- [03:47]
Buck Sexton
He's also Tiger Wood. If anyone could play one leg, it would probably.
- [03:51]
Clay Travis
That's definitely true. I'm sure he could still whack the ball around pretty well. And, and so anyway, I'm not a big fan of April Fools. Like I like it if you're doing jokes in your own individual life. But on social media, everything goes so viral so rapidly that it's hard to even know. And also so much of what happens on a day to day basis is crazy now anyway, that it's hard to really know what is and what is not valid. So all of that underway. We got a lot to. To to talk about as well, Buck. Luigi Mangione, the alleged killer of the UnitedHealthcare CEO, Attorney General Pam Bondi, has announced that she will be seeking the death penalty in that case. Now, I don't know about you, I'm usually not very fond of death penalty cases in general. That's because as a lawyer who's done criminal defense work, I think a lot of times the death penalty cases presume a level of certainty that don't necessarily apply. That is, we don't know for certain all the time here where it's on tape. It's hard to have more certitude about someone's culpability, responsibility. When the murder itself is on tape. If you're going to go death penalty, the degree of uncertainty in a case like this seems to me quite low. Now we'll see how much defense we get over that. But these are the stories that are circulating right now.
- [05:20]
Buck Sexton
The reality of the death penalty in America, federal death penalty in particular, is this stuff just takes forever. And if you're going to have these statutes, we either should have it or not. Meaning it's a thing that we do when we are beyond a reasonable doubt certain, and somebody has clearly engaged in conduct that merits it. This 15 or 20 years or whatever on death row that ends up happening is. Is absurd. So either we have it or we don't have it and we should figure that out. I think that this is part of clarifying that the laws should actually have meaning. It shouldn't just be a thing that we are told to ignore sometimes. That's clearly the case in the context of immigration. But also Clay, with Luigi, this is going to be one of those times where the left can abandon that contingent of Biden, Harris and whoever's going to come next, voters who are pro Luigi. And so you're going to see the media is going to play this game of, ok, I mean, yeah, you shouldn't go out and assassinate the CEO of a company because you don't like. But let's talk about healthcare denials for a while. Like, they're going to try to try to soft pedal this a little bit, because what this guy's accused of doing is about as clear as a justification for a death penalty prosecution as you can find. I mean, it's premeditated, it's, it's heinous and it's terrorism and this guy's a domestic terrorist. So you're going to see that the New York Times has a tough time here because they want to do well in the midterms and they can't abandon the Luigi left. But the Luigi left is very loud, very real, and they know that's a problem for them, too.
- [06:59]
Clay Travis
Yeah. And look, getting a conviction is going to be tough. And historically, again, this is how I've looked at the death penalty. As you spend a lot of money and oftentimes it never gets slide. And again, my position in general is it requires a degree of certainty which often doesn't exist in the criminal justice system. Beyond a reasonable doubt isn't an infallible standard. But when you're on tape, when you're on tape executing someone in midtown Manhattan, I think it is a very, very valid use By Pam Bondi, the Attorney General in general of, of a case like this. This is one where the uncertainty principle would not apply at a high level. Now, I know Mangione, I, I don't even know exactly what his defense is going to be. He's got elite high level defense attorneys. But is his defense going to be. It wasn't me. I haven't really gotten the sense of how exactly they're crafting the, the defense. Is it a form of insanity?
- [07:54]
Buck Sexton
Like I think they're going to try to just go for subtle single juror nullification here if they.
- [08:00]
Clay Travis
Which may well work.
- [08:00]
Buck Sexton
Get a hung jury.
- [08:01]
Clay Travis
Yeah.
- [08:02]
Buck Sexton
Just find one person who is, is deeply sympathetic, is too gentle a word, but is, is kind of deranged about the health care system in this country. Who thinks that? I mean, does anyone believe that anything has changed as a result of this for the better? Of course not. This guy just assassinated a dad, a husband. It was disgusting. And the fact that so many Democrats, you see this, the people are showing up and shouting for this guy in the streets. But you know, there's a lot of demented weirdos out there. I mean, look at people that like Charles Manson. I mean, you know, there's people that'll find some. Look at these women who end up marrying the guy that they have marrying the mass murderer that they have a PayPal relationship with in prison. I mean there's, there's a lot of weirdos out there.
- [08:43]
Clay Travis
Oh, Mangioni, I guarantee you, is flooded with male, of course, women who are obsessed with him.
- [08:48]
Buck Sexton
Didn't someone on SNL or something get pro? Wasn't there a sketch where they were something. Some aspects. There have been some things in pop culture where they've let it fly. They're a little pro Luigi out there, or at least they're open to the idea that Luigi is not such a, not such a bad guy. But no, I think Pam Bondi is making the right move here. It fits the statute. It did. The premeditation, the heinous nature of the crime. You know, I don't know why she wouldn't push this.
- [09:16]
Clay Travis
I think Buck, he's going to want his day in court because I think he wants to have the show this, the celebrity trial aspect. However, sometimes when you do the death penalty charges, that can lead to an agreement to plead down to a lesser charge to avoid the death penalty. I'm not sure that it would happen in this case again because my concern is that Luigi Mangione, which we said from the get go, he wants his day in court, he wants the opportunity to tell his case. I mean I feel like he may want to get on the witness stand but a lot of times this is a leverage play where you threaten the death penalty, you bring the charges and the defense attorneys as a degree to avoid getting the death penalty, make a decision to plea to a lesser charge which takes the death penalty off the table. So oftentimes, in other words there is a negotiated element in play here that maybe a lot of people don't recognize. But I do think it's an important message to send that we're not going to countenance the execution of completely innocent people in broad daylight on the streets and we're not going to allow them to be lionized as heroes. Now this story has kind of vanished over the past several months. We haven't heard a lot about him but if he goes to trial this will be present back on the front pages everywhere.
- [10:40]
Buck Sexton
And you see this as well. There's, there's, there's going to be all kinds of nonsense, legal nonsense that happens in this case. Just as there was with member Jhar Sarnaev, the Boston Marathon, one of the Boston Marathon bomber brothers. I think a federal appeals court, this was just last year, federal appeals court overturned his death sentence. They said they had to look into whether there were, there was juror bias. And I think now that has also the US Supreme Court has reinstated the sentence. And so this is what ends up happening.
- [11:18]
Clay Travis
It doesn't ever end.
- [11:20]
Buck Sexton
It's just because there are people that don't believe in the death penalty who wear judges robes just like there are people who don't believe in immigration law who wear judges robes and they subvert the entire system.
- [11:28]
Clay Travis
I mean I have friends who have worked in prosecuting high level multi murder jurisdiction cases and the defense attorneys in these cases to their credit, their job is to zealously defend. But it is unbelievable how difficult it is to just get these cases to trial and the resources that are spent on these defense.
- [11:53]
Buck Sexton
Well, I'm looking at the Sarnay of defense team and remember this is just from last year. So this is a relatively recent, this is a recent look into how these high profile federal death penalty case terrorism and that's another, another young guy who's a terrorist who you know, killed, killed people and grievously wounded a lot more. They're not arguing that he's innocent. Everyone knows he did it, he's found guilty. They're just trying to come up with some way to commute effectively the sentence from Death to life imprisonment. And so they just find, oh, it's the juror bias. Oh, we need. They just throw up all of these flags. It's purely ideological. It has nothing to do with the actual guilt of the individual. And we have death penalty statutes that exist, so why should judges find it or judges take it upon themselves to decide that the law should be ignored? And that's really what's going on there. So I think the same thing will happen with, I would assume the same thing will happen with the prosecution of Luigi.
- [12:48]
Clay Travis
And remember, we just had the 911 cases where there was an agreement signed that the defense attorney under Biden, Lloyd Austin scrapped and said, no, I'm not going to allow this to happen. But we still haven't had. For those of you who have forgotten, the Khalid Sheikh Sheikh Mohammed's of the world have still not stood trial for the murders in 9 11. And the 911 prosecutors had agreed finally, after 20 years of trying to get these cases, hey, we'll take the death penalty off the table. We'll get finality for the 911 survivors. All of these defendants will plead guilty. And then Lloyd Austin said, no, I want them to get the death penalty. But again, we're 24 years after the 911 attacks and we still have not brought to justice in those particular cases, those individuals who are still down at Guantanamo Bay and who knows when those cases or if those cases are ever going to trial.
- [13:46]
Buck Sexton
And I think firing squad should be an option.
- [13:48]
Clay Travis
They just did that in South Carolina.
- [13:49]
Buck Sexton
Yes. I don't. Because then what happens is all the drugs that they give you, the cocktail, we. No one will make them or they don't work well enough or whatever. A firing squad. I mean, you know, look at, look at all the places, all the militaries around the world where we ask our best and bravest people to risk the possibility of death via firearms. You're going to tell me that it's too cruel. It's cruel and unusual to execute a murderer with fire. I don't know. I think firing squad makes sense. I don't know why this is so. Well, it's so complicated because there are people who just don't want the death penalty. But if we're going to have it, I think firing squad is probably a good way to go. They just did in South Carolina. Yeah.
- [14:25]
Clay Travis
Just did it. Yeah. Well, I think the guy chose it.
- [14:27]
Buck Sexton
Well, yes.
- [14:28]
Clay Travis
They give you like the method in which you want to die. And he selected firing squad.
- [14:32]
Buck Sexton
I think. I mean, you know, kind of a weird, weird thought to have to go through. I think, I think I would take that. I mean, look, it's, you think about in warfare, people who are, you know, people were executed who have been caught. Firing squad was considered the more honorable way as opposed to hanging, to be hanged. So anyway, we're getting kind of, kind.
- [14:50]
Clay Travis
Of bleak and morbid here, but we're.
- [14:52]
Buck Sexton
Going to change, change things up. Talk about Trump, the policies, all that stuff going on. Plus Clay had some thoughts about, well, back to, you know, morbidity. Had some thoughts about the attempted assassination, having been at that golf course. So we will get into that. But you know, there's a direct correlation between higher inflation rates and higher values for gold. And there's a simple reason for that too. Higher inflation means our dollars are worth less. And savvy investors buy gold to balance their cash savings so the overall value of their accounts don't diminish. You don't have to be a seasoned investor to purchase gold. You can be a common sense investor, a first time investor even. You're someone who sees the value of your dollar going down and realizes you can own gold alongside your cash to balance things out. The only reason most people don't have as much gold as they have in cash is that our employers pay us in cash and not with gold. I use Birch Gold Group for my gold purchases. I've got some that I just purchased a few weeks ago stored away in my safe and I'm going to be adding to those reserves over time. It gives me peace of mind, helps me sleep at night. They've helped tens of thousands of people just like you convert an existing IRA or 401k into an IRA and physical gold. Is it time for you to hedge against inflation and economic instability with gold? Look at the markets. I think the answer should be yes. To learn how to own physical gold in a tax sheltered account, text my name, buck to Birchgold at 9898 98. Birchgold will send you a free no obligation info kit. Again, text my name buck to the number 9,898 98.

Buck Sexton
Welcome back into Clay and Buck. Some big races going on today. Clay mentioned the first Congressional here in Florida, the sixth Congressional here in Florida, and also here's President Trump giving a shout out to that critical Supreme Court race in Wisconsin. This is Cut one. Hit it.
- [16:42]
Donald Trump
It's big race. Supreme Court race in Wisconsin. It's taking place essentially as we as you know, is early voting. So we'll see what happens. A big race. I love Wisconsin. We won Wisconsin. Republicans typically don't do very well in Wisconsin, but I did actually won it twice. I actually probably won it three times, to be exact.
- [17:02]
Buck Sexton
Not probably.
- [17:03]
Donald Trump
I won it three times. We had a rigged election the second time. But that's, you know, one of those things. We had to make this one too big to rig. So anyway. But yeah, there's a big race that I hope you get out and vote for the Republican. The woman is a radical left lunatic.
- [17:16]
Buck Sexton
Clay, he's saying too big to rig in Wisconsin. We need it. But really in all these races because if Democrats even chip away at the most recent election lead in these places, they're going to say Trump's momentum has stalled totally.
- [17:29]
Clay Travis
And that's why if you're listening to us right now in Florida 1, Florida 6 or in the state of Wisconsin, you need to get out and vote. We're going to have Jimmy Petronas on with us. God's country, the 30A area, the Florida Gulf Coast. I love it up there, I can say because I'm down here with you in Miami right now. Absolutely beautiful area. Very rock rib Trump area. Get out and vote.
- [17:52]

- [18:57]
Clay Travis
Welcome back. In two different races in the state of Florida I'm down in Miami with Buck right now from his studio up in the northern part of Florida, Florida 1, the Panhandle, also Daytona and St. Augustine area, Florida 6. Jimmy Patronus joins us now. The next congressman. If you guys keep showing up and voting like you are in the Florida first District, Jimmy, good to talk with you. Appreciate you coming on. What can you tell us about what you're seeing in Florida 1? And if people are listening both in your district and in the 6th district of Florida, we what is the importance of getting out and voting here?
- [19:38]
Jimmy Petronas
Yeah, so we're, it's a beautiful day for getting out to vote. So there's no weather. It's going to slow anybody down. It's 77, 77 degrees here in the Panhandle. So, so grateful for everybody that has showed up and voted early. But today's the last day to let your vote count and the Republicans have been out, out tracking the, the Democrats. So we feel good, but you can't take anything for granted. I tell people all the time if you don't hold your elected accountable, you get the government you deserve. And you know, just really, it's an honor to be on the air with y'all.
- [20:13]
Buck Sexton
Hey, Jimmy, we appreciate you and, and we hope you run up the scoreboard in a big way. Who are they even, who are they even running against you there? I mean, you know, I know we all feel pretty good about it. Clay consistently refers to the Panhandle as God's country, although he doesn't want more people buying beachfront on the Gulf of America.
- [20:32]
Clay Travis
There's not any left.
- [20:33]
Buck Sexton
He says it's getting very crowded. But who are they running against you in God's country, so to speak? What do we need to know about this Democrat that they're throwing into the mix?
- [20:43]
Jimmy Petronas
Yeah, so same woman who ran against Matt Gaetz last time in November. Her name's Gabe Alamont. And look, I'm sure she's a fine person, but her policies are flawed. You know what she is advocating for. She's trying to run as a moderate. And look, she's got $7 million. And I'm looking forward to tonight at about 7:30, you know, looking into the camera and acknowledging that there's about 7 million reasons why their, their effort is not the right message for northwest Florida. The amount of money that we've been out spent probably 5 to 1. But the Democrats are seeing 6 and 1 as a way to flip, flip the balance of power in Congress and try to do a referendum on Trump. But you know, the people in these two districts are just too educated for.
- [21:37]
Clay Travis
People who don't know what is Florida one, where is it located? I just want to make sure because there's lots of people driving around. You know as well as anybody, people get fired up for November elections. But a lot of times these special elections we've been talking about, the two in Florida that, the one in Wisconsin that's going today, they can slip under the radar where right now in Florida one can people go vote for you Sometimes, you know this people don't even know exactly what congressional district they're in. I'll, I'll put myself on blast here. When they redid the redrew the lines in Tennessee, where I live, the difference between one congressman and another came into my neighborhood. One streets represented by one congressman, the other is another one. I didn't know, I didn't know who was my congressman until I actually went in and, and had the opportunity to vote. So just for people who may not know where in Florida one can people go vote today, where do they need to show up?
- [22:33]
Jimmy Petronas
Yeah, so Florida one goes from, from Pensacola and the Alabama state line over between Pensacola, Mobile and it goes all the way to the edge of Panama City. So it stops Highway 331. So that's Escambia, Santa Rosa, Okaloosa and parts of Walton County. You can go to joinjimmy.com at the top of the page there's a link. You tap it and it says, where do I vote? Where's my precinct? And then we will go through and direct you to where you can vote. So it's again, today's the day that you would actually go to your regular precinct that you would vote on in a November election. And you were spot on. People are, everything's got seasons to it and the seasons for elections are in November. People know to vote November. They don't know to vote in April. Oh, by the way, it's April Fool's Day.
- [23:22]
Clay Travis
Yeah, no kidding. And Trump won your district, I think by 37 or 38 points. So this, that sounds good. By the way, people honking in the background. If you're listening to Clay and Buck, that's a good problem. If you're listening to Clay and Buck in Florida one right now and you see the congressman driving by the next congressman, you can honk at him and let us know, let us know that you got his back. But this is a dyed rock ribbed Trump district. But it's important for everybody to get out. Don't just rely on the fact again, It's April Fool's. A lot of people may not be aware that this is going on.
- [23:56]
Jimmy Petronas
Yeah. And again, with the amount of money that they've spent running as a moderate, destroying and trying to trash my reputation. I was born and raised in the central time zone. I've been part of this community the whole time. Matter of fact, I think, Clay, I think you and I share the same studio at one time. I used to be on the radio there in Panama City for a while, and I think y'all used to come in and do the show.
- [24:20]
Clay Travis
Jimmy, that's a story I've shared with Buck when I did early morning sports talk radio in that Panama City studio. Love the guys there, but I was on at 5am there, and sometimes. This won't shock you, there weren't people there to let me in the building. So I have started my show before from the parking lot of that Panama City, Florida studio. It's a great signal. We love all of you down on the Gulf coast that are listening right now, but there is. It's not far to the Eastern time zone. And so sometimes people would get all crossed up as to what time things started. And, yeah, my boy DJ K Dub, who was in charge of letting me in back in the day, Buck was sometimes late. But, yeah, Jimmy, that's a. That's a fabulous station. I know there's a lot of people listening to us right now as you're driving there on Highway 98, headed, I think, to Pensacola.
- [25:09]
Jimmy Petronas
Yep, yep. And I tell you, it's just a radio is so amazing. It's intimate. You know, people get your family, you know, and that's what I love about what y'all are doing. I mean, you're connecting with folks and. And they really. They feel like they know you and know everything about you because they spend so much time and you build their day out. So, I mean, it's. It's. This is such an amazing way to get news out, to communicate and to make people informed.
- [25:37]
Buck Sexton
Totally, totally. Right, Jimmy? And we're talking to Jimmy Petronas. He's running for that important congressional seat, the first in Florida, beautiful part of the country up in the panhandle. We got that. We've also got the sixth congressional seat formerly held by Michael Waltz. It is in the mix with Randy Fine today. Make sure we have a huge Florida audience. Make sure for those of you who live in those districts, you get out and vote. Gotta. Gotta run up the scoreboard high, because otherwise you're gonna be reading in the New York Times. Front page tomorrow. Oh, Trump agenda stalling. They, you know, they went from 30 points to 25 points winning, you know, so got to run up those scoreboards. And to that ended. Jimmy, first of all, I totally agree with what you said about radio. Clint. I always joke about how when people know you from the radio show, they just come up and talk to you because they're your friends. There's no, like, oh, there's, there's no trepidation or is it okay or am I, you know, they, they come up to me, they're like, how's Ginger? How's Kerry? And I'm. And I love it. I mean, those are our radio people. And same thing with Clay. They know his wife and his kids names. But tell me about what you want to get at the top of the agenda. Working with fellow members of Congress on the Republican side for the Trump agenda. Once you are seated.
- [26:45]
Jimmy Petronas
Sure. So northwest Florida in the 1st Congressional District has got five military installations. So not only the military economy important to northwest Florida, there's so many vital missions to our national security, but because of the military presence and how beautiful this place is, we've got the largest per capita retired veterans population anywhere in the nation. So, you know, those VA services are critically important at the same time making sure that the missions continue to be enhanced in northwest Florida. We've got a welcome mat in front of every one of our households here because we love our military. So, you know, I'm really, I'm looking at hustling to make sure that we, we continue to support them, especially those that are needing extra assistance, guidance with the D.A. you know what I tell people? Jimmy's not a show horse. Jimmy's a workhorse. I look forward to helping, you know, break through the bureaucracy, helping people get their questions answered. Pete Hegseth, a good buddy, so proud of what he's doing to bring the image of the war fighter back in a way where men and women are proud to serve our country. So, yeah, pinch me. I'm really can't believe it's real.
- [27:55]
Clay Travis
Jimmy, you've been fighting for the state of Florida for a long time. Buck is one of the new residents of the state of Florida. What is the impact? I mean, I think it's an awesome kind of test case for what good governance can do. The number of people that are saying, hey, I'm going to move to a state like Florida. What do the numbers look like over the last five or six years?

Yeah, so we're in the best fiscal health we've ever been in the history of the state of Florida. And so look, I've been the CFO for the last eight years. I'm proud how much debt we've paid down. But here's the twisted thing about it. Even in the jacked up Biden administration where we had double digit inflation, what people don't realize in Florida, the state of Florida made more money than ever before because if things cost more, we're only a sales tax environment. Y'all know that because now you're not paying income tax from wherever you once were living. We made more money as a state, so we aggressively paid down debt at a breakneck speed. We have also created a culture of tell people, it's not a sprint, it's a mark. You got to work on it every day. We have 400,000 new net Floridians come to the state of Florida and we've got 1.3 million more registered Republicans than Democrats. The trend we're going is to give people their personal freedom and keep their tax money.

Welcome back in Clay Travis, Buck Sexton show. Appreciate all of you hanging out with us as we are rolling through the Tuesday edition of the program. We got a bunch of you weighing in with a variety of takes so far. I'll hit a couple of these right here. Start with, I believe, AA who's taken a shot at me. Kentucky Wildcat fans. I was right about the University of Tennessee smoking you guys in the Sweet 16. Unfortunately, the Houston Cougars came back and absolutely debilitated the University of Tennessee in basketball Sunday over the weekend. And podcast listener AA well, he took a shot.
- [32:14]
Buck Sexton
Listen, hey Clay, don't feel bad that Tennessee is the cobbler of college basketball. I think they have a really great field hockey program. It's just Tennessee is not a basketball school. Don't feel bad.
- [32:27]
Clay Travis
Shot.
- [32:27]
Buck Sexton
Oh, I caught that calling.
- [32:29]
Clay Travis
Calling the University of Tennessee the cobbler of college basketball is just diabolical. From Jason, that's a shot across the bow, I think.
- [32:38]
Buck Sexton
Right into the bow, actually. I think that's at the waterline trying to sink your battleship, my friend. That is some real deal.
- [32:45]
Clay Travis
This is also. They're catching me on hypocrisy here. Neil in North Carolina is a podcast listener and he's asking me. Well, he's coming after me over how much I love those Waymo vehicles in San Francisco. Let's listen.
- [32:59]
Buck Sexton
Hey guys, Neil in North Carolina, I.
- [33:01]
Jimmy Petronas
Gotta ask Clay, if you don't trust the cameras and sensors on your car to park or back up, how in.
- [33:09]
Buck Sexton
The world do you trust, trust an automatically self driving taxi from Waymo in San Francisco?
- [33:15]
Clay Travis
It's a fair question.
- [33:16]
Buck Sexton
Yeah, I was wondering about that.
- [33:17]
Clay Travis
So I think that the technology in a Waymo is way better than the technology in your average car. And I get super fired up because it seems to me that they beep and make noise. Buck. When you're nowhere near a person or.
- [33:34]
Buck Sexton
A curve the margin of error, it should give you. Because I have the same thing on my car. And Carrie maybe gets a little anxious when I'm parking. I've only ever had one problem, parking, and it was in Scotland, and I was going on the wrong side in reverse. Other than that, I have a totally clean record, 43 years when it comes to parking. Have you ever driven in Scotland? You never been to Scotland, right?
- [33:56]
Clay Travis
No. But you remember I lived in the Caribbean. We drove on the wrong side of the road in the U.S. virgin Islands.
- [34:02]
Buck Sexton
The wrong side of the road in Scotland. In driving, driving rain, which is all the time. Roads with no shoulder and very narrow and windy. Those F1 drivers, I'm going to tell you, I'd rather beat an F1 car, I think, than doing what they do, than trying to drive around Scotland when it's raining up in the Highlands. So I'm just telling you, I drove.
- [34:24]
Clay Travis
An SUV and a Jeep when we lived in the Caribbean on the wrong side of the road. And that was an experience because you would oftentimes kind of freeze for a moment when you come up to make a left as opposed to a right. It definitely. When you get off in an airplane and then you come back to the States, it's definitely a little bit alarming. Also, my wife, after I talked about the beeping thing, said, hey, you should mention I talked about this before. We have the worst parking place in America in Florida, where we spend some time down in. I'm actually wearing the T shirt, Rosemary Beach. I'm not kidding. I think it's the worst parking spot in America.
- [35:03]
Buck Sexton
If you're going to wear the T shirt, Clay, you're inviting more people. You say you're all full, but you're kind of advertising Rosemary Beach. I'm just putting that out there.
- [35:10]
Clay Travis
I have hit two different vehicles. I believe maybe one of them was a pillar trying to park my wife's gargantuan Cadillac Escalade in that spot. It's almost impossible to get.
- [35:25]
Buck Sexton
So. So you go 130 miles an hour down the highway. Do you also try to park at warp speed? That might be your problem.
- [35:31]
Clay Travis
No, no, no. Have had problem parking in my entire life. Other than. I'm not kidding. I think we have the worst parking spot in America. There are pillars. There's no space. It is virtually impossible to get in. You can't even make a full turn. Also, a big SUV like this one, which we have to fit all the boys in and all their gear and everything else. It's a little bit like driving a tank. So I am not flawless here, but Waymo. You know where it's coming, Buck? Miami. You are soon going to be able right here in Miami. It's also coming, I think to Washington D.C. to hail driverless cars. I'm telling you, it's the future. I couldn't believe how awesome it was.
- [36:13]
Buck Sexton
I mean my, my hope for the future is that I'll be able to get into a Waymo and that maybe I'll put on like an avocado mask. Maybe I'll be wearing a robe. It can do a little foot massage for me or something. I do not need to drive to feel manly. And I don't care what anybody says, I'm happy to be driven. So I, I, I do not have any. That's why I love the whole Tesla idea too. The auto driving. I know all of you just took away my man card. The good news is we're going to talk about some important stuff here in a second. I'll get my man card back.
- [36:42]
Clay Travis
I love it. I would prefer in the back of a car. If I can send emails and I can text and I can work. I would rather do that than drive. No doubt. Wayo coming everywhere. Try it out.
