Guaranteed Human welcome in Tuesday edition. Clay Travis, Buck Sexton show. We appreciate all of you hanging out with us as we are rolling through the Tuesday edition of the program. Got a lot of different stories to dive into, in particular the SAVE act, which is right now being debated in earnest. We got continued fallout from the Grammys where Billie Eilish said that no one is illegal on stolen land. And it turns out her mansion sits on stolen land according to a California tribe which is now demanding that she return her mansion to them. Oh, how the turntables turn. I think I misquoted the office there. But one of the great moments from Michael Scott back in the day. Buck is coming to join us here after spending time with NASA and getting ready for the new Artemis 2 flight, which is super cool, going to the moon. And there is a story. We didn't talk about this very much yesterday, but Savannah Guthrie's mom, this story is dominating the news everywhere. I imagine that a lot of you are following it. In Arizona, her mom has vanished and they think that foul play may be involved. But we begin with something that is not controversial at all, which is what is going on with the Face act and the fact that the American people overwhelmingly support photo ID to vote. This is Harry Enton with CNN breaking it all down for us. Cut 7. Everybody is in favor, it turns out, of voter ID that is showing your driver's license or a form of identification to vote. Cut 7. Listen to these numbers.

The American people are with Nicki Minaj because what are we talking about here? So take a look here.
- [02:07]
Clay Travis
Favor voter ID to vote.
- [02:08]
Unidentified Guest or Contributor
Look, I got all this polling on the screen going back since 2018. You'll notice on all of it, it's all north of 75%, 76%, 76%, 76%, 76%, 81% and then 83% in the last year of Americans agree with Nicki Minaj. They favor photo ID to be able to vote.
- [02:28]
Buck Sexton
Okay, Buck, this is yet another story out there where Democrats are totally underwater on everything. And I got to be honest, I think that Republicans should really push this aggressively because the vast majority of voters are in favor of basic election security here.
- [02:47]
Clay Travis
Election security is a problem for Democrats. It always will be because they want election insecurity, because they figure that at the end of the day, if there's some kind of an election bureaucracy that has seams, that has challenges, that has areas that can be exploited, it will somehow always go to their side. You'll notice this always and at any time that There are, there are proclamations, decisions, statutes that could be making elections more secure. Democrats will oppose it no matter what it is. It does not matter anything that will go toward ensuring that shenanigans are harder to pull off the Democrat Party as opposed to it. It's a bit like the border Clay. It's a bit like illegal immigration. Anytime you can make fewer illegal immigrants in this country, Democrats have a problem with it. Anytime you can make fewer election integrity issues, there's also a problem for Democrats. And that just tells you, I think, where they stand on it and where the issue actually, actually is. So, you know, they, they're going to have a tough time here. They're going to have a tough time when it comes to election integrity. And I think that the American people are not with them on this.
- [04:06]
Buck Sexton
I also think that this is where, and there's lots of talk because Chuck Schumer is saying, hey, we're going to filibuster and avoid this being able to be passed because there's not 60 votes. And I do think it's a point that should be aggressively made that the only reason why you would oppose this is if you're cheating. I think it's something that may well cut through, through because you already have a substantial majority of Americans that are in favor of this. And the only possible reason to be opposed to it is because there is a, there's cheating going on. And if you got an 80, 20 issue, I think that this could capture a great deal of attention as every group. You heard, Harry, and that was cnn, every group in America is in favor of it, lean on it, turn it into a big story that everyone cannot avoid talking about and make Democrats actually have to own this.
- [05:06]
Clay Travis
So there's another thing, another part of this, by the way, and it's really disingenuous and gross. But Democrats can do this and they will do this. And that is they will make election integrity a racist.
- [05:23]
Buck Sexton
Yes. Every try.
- [05:25]
Clay Travis
Every time. Right? That's what I'm saying. Every time it turns into, hey guys, let's make it harder. They say, well, and when you start to dig into this, what Democrats are really saying is actually quite troubling. And this comes up particularly with the voter id, but it also will come up with anything that whether, you know, if you're purging voter rolls of people who are dead or if you're whatever, they will inherently take a you are disenfranchising black people position. That is what Democrats will say. They say it on voter id. They say it on on anything that has to do with voter integrity, which is also why they fight so hard to keep outdated and just really absurd when you start to dig into it. Civil Rights act voting, like Section 5, the Civil Rights act of the Voting Rights act, they do what they can to make it and more complicated to make any changes whatsoever. And just so they can claim that it's racist, like anything you want to do on election integrity, they'll scream, you're being racist. Why does it only affect black people? Or why does it disproportionately affect black. They don't even get into that. So they're hoping to make that. And this is cuz they know that the primary, the most loyal voters of the Democrat Party, at least by ethnicity, are black voters. And black Democrat primary voters determine who will be the Democrat nominee for president, for example. But also very important for them in turnout in places like Georgia and North Carolina and other states. So, Clay, it's a bit like the immigration issue. We can't have a, we can't have an adult discussion about voting integrity with Democrats because they won't say this, but every action they take shows they don't want voter integrity. So.
- [07:18]
Buck Sexton
Yes. And also remember, it got very little attention. But completely blowing up this argument for Chuck Schumer was what happened in Georgia, the number I remember when not only Chuck Schumer, but in particular Joe Biden traveled to Georgia and he tried to make that weird argument that not only was this Jim Crow, it was even worse. And he called it Jim Eagle. And he said that if you support voter integrity, you're on the side of Jefferson Davis. And this is basically the worst thing that's ever happened to the country. And it was such an argument that was adopted by many people that Major League Baseball pulled the All Star Game out of Atlanta that was intended to honor Hank Aaron. And then the 2022 election happened and black voter turnout went up and no one ever acknowledged that they had been 100% wrong on this. So I'm not even buying that this would change the black turnout in any way.
- [08:15]
Clay Travis
Oh, in fact, and this, this experiment has been run where, when, when the Democrats say you can't do that. Election integrity and also election efficiency too, somehow. It's just a question of, you know, why can't we count all these votes when they should be counted?
- [08:30]
Buck Sexton
Longer it takes to count, the more, the more time you have to cheat.
- [08:33]
Clay Travis
Of course.
- [08:34]
Buck Sexton
Yes.
- [08:34]
Clay Travis
Well, I mean, we all know like everyone sitting here, we're all sitting here having the same conversation. This family, we're all on the same page here. They want to leave open, oh, we need an extra, you know, 15,000 votes in Georgia.
- [08:45]
Buck Sexton
Don't worry.
- [08:45]
Clay Travis
We'll figure something out. We all get it. We're not a babe in the woods, as they say. On this one, we're very aware of it. But on specifically, Clay, the claims about disenfranchising black voters with any election integrity measure, as you pointed out, even if there is an increase after the passage or after the change, whether it's a law or it's just a changing of. Of how, you know, they can even move polling places or things like that. Right? Whatever it may be, even if there's an increase in black voters in that state relative to before the change, you know what they'll say? There would have been even more black voters. And you say, well, hold on a second. But there was a change that they don't care is the point. They'll always find some way to justify their intransigence on the issue, because the intransigence is rooted in a narrative, and it's. Which is that the GOP is just trying to make black people not vote, which is not true, especially when you're talking about facially neutral decisions about elections. Right. It's just. Everyone should show id. Everyone should show id.
- [09:46]
Buck Sexton
There's.
- [09:47]
Clay Travis
There should be no problem with that.
- [09:48]
Buck Sexton
Do you know anyone that doesn't have an id? Like, I. You can't fly on an airplane. You can't go to a sporting event. Right. I mean, like, just a lot of things that are very basic. I'm going to be honest with you. I don't think I've ever met anyone in my life or even. Even heard of anyone saying that they know someone who doesn't have an id. I mean, real. And the argument out there, which is actually racist, is that people are too dumb to figure out how to get an id. Like, you can't have a credit card without an id. You can't have a bank account without an id. You can't live in America today without having a form of photo identification. I've never heard of anyone that doesn't have a photo.
- [10:32]
Clay Travis
This is 7 to 10%, according to the groups that look at this.
- [10:38]
Buck Sexton
There's no way that's true. There's no way that that is true.
- [10:41]
Clay Travis
You took the words right out. And I'm like, I don't care. They can tell me this all day long. I do not. I do not believe that that's true. I also think that it's completely Reasonable to expect that people have some way of IDing themselves in America today. I think, you know, we don't do the sovereign. You ever seen the sovereign citizen thing where they get pulled over by the cops and they're like, I am traveling. I do not have a. You can say, you don't need to show ID all day. You're going to get tased and face planted and handcuffed and taken. Like, at some point we all operate in the real world and you need to have, you need to have a way to identify yourself when dealing with the government in the real world. You actually do need to have that. You can say, like, I don't, I don't recognize your right to tell me that I. And by the way, I hate our high taxes. But that's a whole other thing. You can say, I don't recognize your right to tax my income. They're going to take your stuff and they're going to throw you in prison. So you need to have an id. Yes. That's not changing. And it's fair to say to somebody that you need to have an id. Reminds me a little bit of the, the great. I mean, Adam Carolla said a lot of funny things, a lot of great stuff. We like Adam. He calls him the show. Maybe the greatest Adam Crolla moment of all time was with the Gavin Newsom. Gavin Newsom's like, well, you know, we've got so many black and Latino Californians without a bank account. And Carolla says, but a bank account's free. You just go into a bank and you open a bank account. Why don't they have bank accounts? And Newsom completely froze because he just thought, I'm just here to get people to clap for me. I remember pointing out that black and Latino people don't have bank, by the way, at the same percentages don't have bank accounts as other races like Asian and white in California. He's speaking about his state specifically. And it does pose a very fair question, why not? And the same thing with id. Why not? Maybe the answer is encouraging people and making it easy for people to get bank accounts and getting IDs, which we've kind of done. And then saying, well, then too bad. You know, they told us that we couldn't go to get a cheeseburger Clay without a mask on. And that was fine. But you can't tell people that. They need to be able to identify themselves. They look Democrats like fraud when it comes to. That's it. They just like it.
- [12:52]
Buck Sexton
Laura Travis has just Texted, Buck, my white grandma didn't have an ID in 2020. But it's okay. This is true. It's okay. She had dementia. They showed up at the nursing home and somehow she voted. This happened in the 2020 election. Like, she had no idea who she voted for. She had no id. They showed up at the nursing home and somehow she had filled out a ballot.
- [13:16]
Clay Travis
I bet she voted Democrat.
- [13:17]
Buck Sexton
Clay would not stun me, Buck.
- [13:20]
Clay Travis
I have a feeling she voted for the Democrat in that election, which isn't that funny that we all know this well, but again, that's somebody. Elderly person dementia. But, you know, there's always. You can always find exceptions in situations. We have to be able to make policy for what is true in the mean or, you know, what is true.
- [13:39]
Buck Sexton
But also, I mean, this actually goes to the point she didn't have an ID and somehow she ended up voting in that election.
- [13:44]
Clay Travis
I'm sure she was a big Biden voter. Absolutely huge. Huge.
- [13:47]
Buck Sexton
Joe Biden. Biden. She loved Biden.
- [13:50]
Clay Travis
Didn't know if Biden was on the ballot, but definitely voted Biden. Yes.
- [13:52]
Buck Sexton
Thought she was voting for Franklin Roosevelt. But this is the point. Like, ID actually does make a ton of sense. So anyway, that's being debated right now, and you know, we're all in favor of it.
- [14:03]
Clay Travis
Like most of you, Evie never imagined she would become pregnant. Her doctors told her it wasn't possible. So when she found out that she was expecting, it was a surprise. Fear took over, and her first pregnancy ended in abortion. It was a decision that left her caring grief no one had prepared her for. Later, Evie reached out for help at a preborn network clinic. She didn't find judgment. She found compassion, truth, and healing. For the first time in a long time, Evie felt hope. When she became pregnant again, everything was different. She returned to the clinic excited. And when she saw her baby on an ultrasound, when she heard that tiny heartbeat, it confirmed what she already knew in her heart. Today, Evie's daughter is alive. Her heart beats freely outside the womb because an ultrasound was there at exactly the right moment. Each ultrasound at Preborn is just $28.

Clay Travis
Welcome back into Clay and Buck. I want to tell you all in the second hour about my time at NASA and Blue Origin yesterday. Fascinating and really the, the future of American space and military production is it's, we're in a renaissance right now. I really truly believe that. And incredible things are going to happen. So I'll just want to put a pin in that. I'll get to that in the, in the second hour. It's great to see Secretary Wore Hegseth yesterday, catch up with him for a bit and talk to members of his team. And I didn't get to hang with Bezos, unfortunately.
- [16:02]
Buck Sexton
Clay, I wondered if you and Bezos were fist pounding and just, just chilling beside the rockets.
- [16:10]
Clay Travis
Bezos, what's in your stack, man? What kind of supplements we taking here, buddy? Look at old Bezos, new Bezos. He's bench has gone up a bit. Something. He's, he's taking something. I think his T levels have gone up quite a bit. So anyways, it was good to see all of that and I will say there really are some standouts in this administration. I think that Besant, Rubio, Tom Holman and Hegseth are all really, we don't really get to see the day to day. I mean obviously Stephen Miller at the White House, there's a lot of brilliant people that are right in Trump's orbit. But in terms of running or running the operations of some of these top agencies, they have some really great people. But I will tell you one thing, not to, not to be whiny about this, Clay. It was Cape Canaveral is supposed to be warm. Imagine Cape canaveral, but it's 30 degrees with the wind whipping. It was freezing.
- [17:07]
Buck Sexton
A lot of people reacting to you in the puffer coat in the, in the photos. Producer Ali was talking about it. You're getting soft.
- [17:16]
Clay Travis
I should have been wearing like, like look like I was going on a polar expedition. It was, there were some guys in the press pool who were wearing just blue blazers outside, you know, because they got, I didn't dress up obviously because I don't do that. But they got all dressed up, Clay. Their little knees were knocking against each other. It was freezing outside of Cape Canaveral. So. And down here in Miami are the iguanas are falling out of the trees left.
- [17:40]
Buck Sexton
I saw some of that. They actually were saying that now is a good time to dispose of iguanas did you see this story? And I was thinking to myself, what are you supposed to do with them?
- [17:48]
Clay Travis
Like, do you consider you can. You can eat them? I think, I think they're like iguana kebabs is a thing you can do. But, yeah, they're considered an invasive species. They're not native to Miami. They were brought here as pets, or rather from the pet trade, and then they just took over. I was just talking to you about Bezos, and my man's taking something. I don't know what it is, but if you want to take something that is definitely good for you, and we'll give you that. Bezos level, or Bezos directional boost boost in testosterone. Check out the chalk, my friend Choq. That's all Pete Hegg said yesterday. Secretary War. That guy's got lots of stamina and testosterone. You want to be operating at your best level. Chalk is there to help you. Chalk's Male Vitality Stack is a multi supplement bundle designed to support men's vitality, energy and healthy testosterone levels. Because as we get older guys, our T levels drop, we have less energy. It just happens. But you can supplement your body, you can help your chemistry, and you can get things right with chalk. Go to chalk.com, choq.com use my name Buck as your promo code. Get a $99 bag of chalk lit powder with your first delivery. That's chalkchoq.com use promo code BUCK. Welcome back into Clay and Buck. So Clay and I decided to switch this up, and I was going to tell you about some of what I saw yesterday from a couple of different angles. First of all, I'll start from the defense and national security side. And I think there's particular interest in this stuff, especially after Trump talked about the discombobulator, I think he called it, which was used in Venezuela. My guess is that that's not the technical term for it. But Trump mentioned something about this publicly, which is unusual for a weapons system that people are not familiar with, but now the Venezuelans are familiar with it. So guess what? People are going to figure this out. But the truth is the wars of the future and just the national security needs of the United States going into the future are going to be increasingly reliant upon two things that intersect very powerfully, really two things that are complementary technology and manufacturing. And you have to be able to make the most advanced stuff, but you're going to have to be able to make it at scale and quickly. Because when you're talking about drones and AI and hypersonics and just go through the list of all these things that are either in use and iterating, coming up with new versions of right now, or just over the horizon and going to become much more a part of what we see in the national security sphere. You have to be nimble, you have to be fast. And this is what Clay, the speech yesterday that Secretary of Warhead said, it was great to see him. We got to catch up a little bit. I mean, he was busy with like the second richest man in the world and taking around a bunch of very senior military folks. But we talked a little bit and I was glad to meet his staff and see how they're doing this arsenal of Freedom tour, which is what it was, the arsenal of freedom. And they're going around to a lot of the biggest, not just there's the defense primes, Boeing, Lockheed, I mean, these are the companies that you think of when you think of the military industrial complex they've consolidated. And this has happened really. Again, I'm not an expert on all this, but last 40 years or so, there's been a huge consolidation of this stuff. And now there's these companies, there's these upstarts, these startups, I guess maybe both upstarts and startups like Anduril, based out of California, Palmer Lucky's outfit, and others that are making really incredible defense tech. And Clay, before I get into the space side, I was going to just say this is one of the incredible things that Trump and the whole MAGA movement has accomplished that I think people don't have enough appreciation of. A decade or so ago, Google and its employees and from the top down refused, refused to do anything that could even have military use or, you know, any military projects whatsoever with the Pentagon. And that was considered just, oh, okay, it's a, it's a private company. They can do what they want. You know, it's like when they said build our own Internet, you know, do it, we would do it our, do it our way. Clay, that is a massive. First of all, it's borderline, in my opinion, borderline traitorous. And that was the culture, though, in Silicon Valley, our tech leading edge was unwilling to work to defend America against the threats of China and Russia and global terrorism and all these other things. And they were, they were fine with that. That's changed now, and I think it's one of the biggest wins that the Trump administration has, has racked up on the national security side. And Secretary Hegseth is working to change the procurement timeline because it's Become a joke. They're saying, yeah, we're going to build something 15 years out and it's going to cost 10 times as much as we say it is when all said and done. And by the time we get it, you're not even going to need it because there's going to be some other technology that you can't have. This in a world of drone swarms and hypersonics and increasingly low Earth orbit activity that deals with a whole range of military threats. There's so much going on, Clay, and we can get into the space piece too. But this is a transformation of the way that the United States top companies now work with in areas. You know, I'm not saying I work with them on everything, but there's crossover and they're willing to work with our defense contractors. I mean, in my opinion, no American should be willing to buy or do business with an American company. That will not help the United States military with technology, will not help the United States military defend us. Because these guys, Google, without the US military providing it, they'd all be speaking Chinese. Everybody, you know what I'm saying? Like Google only exists because the United States provides this marketplace. Yes, but this aegis of protection. And you're going to turn your nose up at working with, working with these companies. But remember, Pentagon's paying for this stuff. The Pentagon, it's not that they have to do whatever the Pentagon says, it's just the Pentagon will say, hey, we want to buy this from you. No, we don't want to work with you on that. Hey, we want to co develop this with you. No, you know, and this was Google and all these top companies out of Silicon, Google is the main one, but all these top companies out of Silicon Valley, it's shameful what they got away with. Palmer Lucky of Andrew has spoken about this consistently and, and it's amazing because he comes out of that community. There's a guy who founded Oculus now he's the founder of Andrew. He's a self made multibillionaire. He's founded really two unicorn companies which is, he's like a double unicorn. It's pretty amazing, Clay. The whole paradigm has changed now where. And it's important because if China has better AI, better tech, better, you know, better drones and manufacturing capacity for them as well, they can put, if they can make, you know, a hundred UAVs of the absolute top range that can be used in offensive warfare for every 10 that we can make, we can't beat them. That's what people have to understand, it doesn't matter. Yeah, we have the best soldiers in the world. Well, if they can just out manufacture us, the bravery of our soldiers is not going to be enough in a fight that's increasingly tech based.
- [25:41]
Buck Sexton
History teaches us that war is often one of the great evolutions of technology. And you go back in time, Civil War, for instance. Railroads changed the way that the war was bought. The war was fought under the concept of celerity. But troops being able to hop on a railroad line and be able to get to a different area much faster. I was reading actually this morning as I was getting ready for our show, Buck, we just rolled off what many people believe will be the last tank. And if you think about the history of warfare, certainly World War II, to a large extent it was airfare, right? Air combat, air superiority, and then tanks and their ability to run roughshod over trench warfare and change the dynamic there. The Ukraine, Russia war has basically turned into a drone battle. And the question is, who can build the most drones and advanced drone technology the fastest is dictating success on the battlefield. And they say basically even attacks, by and large with soldiers are becoming virtually impossible because drones are so skilled and adept at being able to kill people as soon as they leave protective areas. And so we are, I think, evolving in the same way that AI is iterating at a speed that frankly we've never seen before in the history of humanity. We are right now in a technological inflection point where the manufacture of drones would likely dictate who would win World War 3 and who knows what comes next? Buck, it may be robot warfare, right? I mean, when you look at Elon building all these optimus robots, it may be the case that the next war we fight is basically humans sitting around with joysticks trying to align robot battlefields and drones and everything else. The technology is just evolving so rapidly and the manufacturing capacity is so key. It's one reason why we're exploding. Exploding is the wrong word. Expanding our overall budget for the military because this is expensive and we need the wheels and power of private industry to be able to win the future battles of combat.
- [28:03]
Clay Travis
The other part of this that was really interesting. So there's that defense and manufacturing piece. And that's why the Arsenal of Freedom tour the Secretary of War is going on is really showing everybody that, you know, this is now America is now a place where, just like in World War II. And they really even borrow. I mean, I have some photos of this. They borrow from some of the imagery from Posters of World War II for this current arsenal of Freedom Tour. Because if you were an automobile manufacturer in World War II and you had to start making plane parts or tanks or whatever, there was just no question that's what, that's what's going to happen. Right? This is the reality of the world they were living in and that, that needs to be the reality today. But for high tech companies in particular, and tech that can be manufactured, can be manufactured at scale, which means quickly, efficiently, at a reasonable price. It's changing the whole military industrial complex situation right now. The whole, that whole apparatus is in the process of being shifted now. It's huge, it's unwieldy. A lot of people I think, who worked in the Pentagon who are listening to us are going to say, yeah, right, good luck with that. Well, that's the mission. And they're on that mission and we'll see how they do. You know, they were telling us a few years ago nobody could ever secure the border. And now that's an afterthought. Of course you can secure the border. We can't make stuff faster. The America we live in, where I can sit here and have basically whatever I want delivered to me with the, with the push of a button in my home, maybe within a few hours, certainly within 24 hours. We can't make drones faster or better than we currently are with the big defense primes. No way. There's no way that that's reality. Okay. And then on the space side of this clay and I know some people are really into space overall, we are absolutely in a rebirth and a renaissance of space exploration. And it's real, and here's why it's commercialized now. And Elon deserves tremendous credit for this. There's, there are two companies that are driving this whole thing and it's SpaceX and Blue Origin. And what they are doing, I mean, Elon speaks about this in a way that I think is particularly visionary. Blue Origin, and I was there yesterday, I heard Bezos speak about this. Blue Origin knows that it has to go a lot faster, knows that it has to get a lot more launches going. You know, they, they've been a little, they've been a little slow and it's kind of like private. It feels a little bit more like private sector NASA to me. You know, SpaceX is a whole other thing. Blue Origin is like, we're gonna build rockets so we don't have to buy them from Russia. Hey, that's great. And Jeff Bezos is one of the most incredible Entrepreneurs and, you know, company minds or company managers in history. Elon is like, we're gonna build death stars and go to Mars. Like it's a whole other category. And. And now you're talking about the possibility of low Earth orbit data centers. And this is particularly useful for. For AI. But we might start having, instead of building these massive data centers that have to require all this cooling, you don't need a lot of cooling in space. Have all this stuff. We might be able to start building them in low Earth orbit. The infrastructure for space and space exploration and utilization and getting us to other planets, and everything is actually being built right now. It is real, it is happening, and it's a pretty amazing moment in the history of our species. I will say, Clay, it's. It's the real deal. When you start looking at the progression here, how fast they're going, how many more rockets they're going to be able to make, how much better the rockets are, the increase in the. Just even the kind of carbon fiber that can be used in these things today. You know, in the Apollo missions back in the day, they couldn't have imagined some of the rocketry stuff has just been repurposed. And it's the same. A lot of the principles are the same, but some of the technological advances make stuff so much more feasible now. So I was nerding out with it yesterday. It was really interesting. And. And it's real, and there's a whole lot of stuff going on. Met, and I met the NASA administrator. Great guy, by the way. We might be having him on the show soon. Clay, we're getting people back on the moon, but we're doing a whole lot more than that, too.

What I would also add to all that, and it sounds like an awesome way to spend the day. Yesterday, news officially came out that Space X, X, AI and Twitter slash X are all now one company. So it's not only that things are evolving rapidly, it's that AI is creating a world where satellites, social media, the evolution and rapidity of AI and all of these things are being coalesced together. So I think, to me, there's a little bit of an analogy where we do this radio show. And when Rush did this radio Show in the 1980s and the 1990s, there was only one way for you basically to get this show. You had to be listening live on a radio channel. Maybe you could bring out the old cassette tape. For those of you who remember doing mixtapes back in the day, on Monday, this show will go on satellite radio. We just had our best month of growth we've ever had on YouTube for this show and we're on every social media platform.

But I think increasingly media is just becoming one thing. There's no difference between the television and YouTube and everything else. Media is just one colossus. I think a lot of these businesses, when you look at SpaceX, when you look at the ability to provide Internet from space, when you look at Xai, when you look at Twitter, when you look at all these companies, SpaceX, they're all one thing. And I think we're rapidly evolving towards everything synthesizing together. And that might sound complicated, but I think it's occurring at a rapid speed the likes of which we've never seen before. So buckle up because we're accelerating at a level that I'm not sure technology has ever occurred. And they're both exciting things about that and terrifying things, frankly, about that as well. Look, prize picks. All 50 states, including the state that I am in right now, California, the state that Buck is in right now, Florida, Georgia, Texas, all 50 states. You get $50 when you play. Five dollars and I've got my super bowl pick for you. All this pays out at nearly 4 to 1 if I am correct. And it starts with basically a free square Drake made to have more than 1/2 passing yards. Price Picks is giving you one free. You cannot lose. Drake May is going to have more than 1/2 passing yard. That's a free square. And then I believe Drake May is going to have more than 1/2 passing touchdown. I think Sam Darnold is going to have more than 1/2 passing touchdown. And Jackson Smith and Jigba, best receiver for the Seahawks I think is going to have more than 93 and a half receiving yards. If I am correct in this, it pays out at nearly four to one. $5 becomes $20. If you're going to be watching the super bowl and you want to have some fun, you can play along with this pick.

Find them on the free iHeartRadio app or wherever you get your podcast. Welcome back in Clay Travis, Buck Sexton Show A couple of stories as we roll into the second hour here to give you a little bit of a tease. One serious one, not so serious. In New York, a $2 million jury verdict came out against doctors who had involved themselves in encouraging a trans kid to have surgery. I think that could be hugely transformative going forward. We'll talk about that. And this one is funny. And we'll have some fun with it. Superstar musician Billie Eilish said no one is illegal on stolen land. People buck dove into stolen land claim and it turns out that Billie Eilish lives on a multimillion dollar piece of land in the Los Angeles area that the Tongva tribe says is stolen land. And they are now demanding that Billie Eilish return her mansion to the tribe because she has been living on their stolen land.
