Campaign Funding and Out-of-State Support

• [26:19] Buck raises the issue of out-of-state money; Collins states 82% of Ossoff’s support comes from “far left activist” sources out of New York and California, including “pro-Hamas, far left socialists.” [26:48]

Social Issues and Georgia Values

• [27:46] Clay hammers Ossoff’s record on gender and sports:
  • Quote: “That is absolutely insanely radical for representing a state like Georgia. For me, that alone is disqualifying.” —Clay Travis [27:53]
• Collins stresses Ossoff has a voting record far out of step with Georgia, supporting men in women’s sports, women’s restrooms, and increased taxes.
• Tradeoff: Collins advocates for small business, blue-collar backgrounds. Ossoff is painted as out-of-touch, never having “a real job.”

• Clay notes the effort to inject “gender fluidity” into children’s media and public discourse is misguided.

Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett’s World Cup Rant

• [41:41] Clay highlights outgoing Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett’s comments during official hearings, claiming rooting for Argentina in the World Cup is racist. Both hosts mock the idea as nonsensical.
  • Quote: “She just wanted to say racism.” —Buck Sexton [44:27]
  • Buck and Clay joke that Crockett could join The View and wouldn’t be the least competent member.

• Buck on Transgender Sports Debate: “Once you have taken the slings and arrows of condemnation for being willing to say it, other people follow.” [16:14]
• Brad from Texas: “Maintaining election integrity is absolutely critical… what is even more important is… confidence that the American people have in the outcome.” [21:15]

[Clay Travis]

Welcome back in hour number two, Clay and Buck. By the way, primary yesterday in Arizona. Think I said off the top. But congrats to the Republican nominee, Andy Biggs and also to former NFL kicker who has been on this program a few times, Jay Feely for winning those nominations. I'm sure we will talk to those guys soon. The nominee in the Georgia Senate race, Mike Collins, going to join us at the bottom of this hour. And in the third hour of the program, Tennessee Congressman Andy Ogles. As voting has begun in the Tennessee primary race. I said I was going to go yesterday. I'm going to try to go today. I promise I'm going to get my early ballot in soon. We were talking about the New Hampshire primary poll that is out and its overall impact. We were also talking about the 400 illegal voters that are out there that we know of for certain in New Jersey who cast ballots illegally after at least 6,600 illegals were registered to vote. Sophia is a Vanderbilt rising junior. I believe she has been interning some with the the program here and she is monitoring the comments on our YouTube page which I encourage all of you to go subscribe to and check out. You can watch all three hours of the YouTube version of this show on video now live at Clay and Buck. If you go click the live tab when you sign up for Clay and Buck. We want as many of you to be able to experience this and we are waving at you right now saying hello and we appreciate you watching us. One of you in the comments, which was, which was very funny, said at my grandmother's funeral about five years ago, my uncle joked the only thing she was afraid of in death is that it would be the first time she had ever voted Democrat. That is very funny as, as funeral eulogy humor goes, that is very.

[Buck Sexton]

Well, that's not even a dad joke. That's a granddad joke.

[Clay Travis]

Granddad joke. So good comment there from Etruscan Roar.

[Buck Sexton]

Can I tell for our commenters also, I told my friends yesterday when I was playing paddle, which I've now become a pretty avid paddle player.

[Clay Travis]

Is it paddle or Padel or is there a difference between.

[Buck Sexton]

This is a. This there's a feud underway about this. If you're one of the cool kids, apparently you call it paddle. But Padel is catching on in some places here to separate it from paddle tennis, which is a different thing. So it's a little confusing. So it's a little bit of football.

[Clay Travis]

Football, soccer, you know, tomato like kite surfing. Is this like you John Kerry kite surfing? Is this a super elite. How would you define cause I don't, I don't know Anybody, I don't think, who has played.

[Buck Sexton]

I'm about as right now. I'm sounding about as American and masculine as a guy wearing a pink neoprene suit. Uh, I'm not gonna lie. Paddle's pretty. Pretty fancy, fancy pants kind of stuff these days. But it's, it's catching on. But I was playing yesterday and I told some of them because I kept having to. I actually have to wear a hat because my hair keeps coming down in my eyes. And I said, well, one of our commenters said that I look like his great aunt Barbara. And. And they all started laughing and they're like, yeah, you do. It's time for a haircut. So I'll have, you know, tomorrow I will be a shorn sheep.

[Clay Travis]

It will all have your hip. You'll have your hip. Miami haircut where you'll look like. That was my 15 year old, saw the haircut and he was like, oh, that's Buck got an awesome haircut.

[Buck Sexton]

I go into these. Usually I go into these Cuban guys. I have no. We don't really talk much, which I love, by the way. I love just going in there and like the professionals do what they do and it's great. They give me a little cup of espresso. That is rocket fuel, I will tell you. And then there's usually like Buena Vista Social Club playing in the background. And yeah, they're talking in Spanish. They're probably saying, this guy's head is huge. Why does he let it get to Aunt Barbara? Level hair. But it looks good at the end.

[Clay Travis]

It reminds me, I think we were out to dinner with our Good Ranchers crew in New York City. And I believe it was Ben who is the Good Ranchers founder. After like, first of all, the dinner went like nine hours. I don't know how that happened, but. But it was like a never ending dinner. And after about the third hour of the dinner, he leaned over to me and he said, how old is Buck? Because he could be anywhere between 25 and 55. And I have no earthly idea. Which I thought was really. I think it was Ben. I'm gonna give Ben from Good Ranchers credit for that line. But I thought was very funny. We had, you know, at that point we were a couple of drinks in and he was like. I was sitting next to him and you were a couple seats away, I think. And I just, I remember laughing, I think. But. But yes, that was when.

[Buck Sexton]

Do you know, at some point as a guy you go from like wanting to look a little older because the gravitas to being, I think, happy that your, your youthful visage is continuing on. I don't know if it's 40 or 50 or 60, but at some point, people telling you you look young stops being a, a hindrance and starts feeling like an asset.

[Clay Travis]

Oh, yeah. I mean, you, early on, you want to be the guy with the ID who can get the beer, right? You want to be the guy who's not going to be questioned. I, I remember when we moved into our freshman dorm, there was one guy there, and everybody thought he was a dad. Like one of the dads moving in. He was 18, but everybody was like, oh, that guy. There's no way that guy's 18. I mean, he looks like he's 43. Like, everybody thought he was a dad, and so he was like, everybody's like, oh, man, he's going to be able to go buy bjerg in anything he wants. That guy probably is like 96 now. It's probably not aged well. Somebody might say the same about me. All right, Buck. I wanted to give a positive story, and then we're going to take some of these calls. So we got some interesting callers reacting to the story coming out of New Jersey yesterday. Yesterday evening, as I was getting ready to watch Disclosure Day, which is now available on streaming. You know the Spielberg Alien movie? Have you seen this?

[Buck Sexton]

I have a review of a family member who saw it, which I will hold back until you tell me what you thought. Mr.

[Clay Travis]

I mean, look, it, it was, I will say, I like the fact that these. I'm going to sound like you now. I like the fact that some of these movies come out so quickly that I can watch them at home for $19. And I don't know. Disclosure Day has only been out, I think, for a couple of months, so it didn't take very long to go from theater. To me being able to buy it from home, I would give it a. I thought it was very interesting. I thought it was a bit too long. It was about two and a half hours. And I thought that it was not as good as it could have been. I would probably give it a six and a half to a seven. Like, I, I didn't feel bad about watching it, so I'm glad I watched it, but I wouldn't watch it again.

[Buck Sexton]

So Clay, when it comes to movie reviews, is the opposite of grade inflation. I'm just letting you all know this. So if he gives it a 6.5 back in Realityville, it's like a 3.

[Mike Collins]

Okay.

[Buck Sexton]

Which means this Movie is total trash. He's very nice. Very nice. Clay Travis about the movie.

[Clay Travis]

Enjoyed it hours. I wouldn't have chosen to not have watched it. So I would give it a six and a half or a seven.

[Buck Sexton]

I, I Eddie, a movie that you, unless you tell me a movie is like a nine or better, there's zero chance that I would like it. And I will tell you, my brother Mason, whom you know very well and is our, one of our co founders of Crockett Coffee, he lasted one hour in the theaters and couldn't, couldn't get.

[Clay Travis]

Oh, he left in the middle of the movie.

[Buck Sexton]

He, he bailed mid movie. He thought it was so bad, which is. That's pretty bold. I've only done that a few times.

[Clay Travis]

Yeah, I never, I never leave early. I thought it took a while. It was two and a half hours. You could have cut 30 minutes out of it and you could have tightened it up. And a lot of things didn't add up correctly. But I didn't think it was awful. So this is what I was reading last night right before I watched this closure day. ESPN did a huge, espn.com did a huge profile of Sophie Cunningham. Now, some of you are going to know Sophie Cunningham. She's an attractive blonde basketball teammate of Caitlin Clark. And she really got famous when she just wrecked one of the women who had been fouling Caitlin Clark aggressively on a breakaway layup. And it turned into kind of a brawl. She's since gone famous for the point thing, which is actually very funny. I'm sure many of you have seen the meme of her.

[Buck Sexton]

It helps that she's very conventionally attractive. That helps in her whole brand situation.

[Clay Travis]

Here is the, the, the profile. I actually encourage you to read [e-mail] it's pretty well done as these things go. And here's the paragraph I was reading. You say she's a MAGA Barbie, as some corners of the Internet have taken to call her projection. She says she'll weigh in. And this is where it's significant. She weighed in on how to protect women's sports because she's in that world and feels qualified to speak to that world. Bravery is rare in sports, right, where you actually are willing to say something that might be perceived as somewhat controversial. So I want to give credit to Sophie Cunningham for this. I got a lot of negative feedback about me hating trans. I'm like, I never once said that I think I'm here to extend love. But I also think with that love is truth, being honest. And I want to protect young girls in a locker room or young girls in sport who shouldn't have to go against biological men. This counts as bravery, Buck, because I believe Sophie Cunningham is the first current female pro athlete to come out and say, hey men, I can't believe this is considered controversial, but men shouldn't be able to compete against women and men shouldn't be in women's locker rooms. I do think this is significant. For one, congratulations, Sophie Cunningham for being brave enough to say it. I think you should all out there listening to us right now. If you got little girls, go buy a Sophie Kenneth Cunningham shirt. Go buy a Sophie Cunningham jersey. I think when people speak truth and they're going to get attacked and she's already getting attacked by the crazy trans people out there, I think we out there as sane members of the community have an obligation, I would argue, to support her. So I'll say that. But culturally, Buck, I think this is significant. Yesterday ESPN fired this guy, Ryan Clark, who's probably the biggest race baiting clown that they have paid millions of dollars to four years far left winger, regularly has attacked Trump, attacked Charlie Kirk on the air like pretty nasty guy without a lot of depth to his political analysis. No surprise there's. But they fired him yesterday or Monday. Leaked the news to outkick, by the way, to some of our writers there, which I thought was significant. But then the next day, Buck, they published this not awful profile of Sophie Cunningham and include the fact that she's opposed to women's sports, to men being able to play in women's sports. I think that's a significant cultural shift. I think ESPN has been so woke for so long that you're starting to see some of these green shoots of sanity emerging. I don't think they would have run this article two years ago. I don't. And if they ran it, I think they would have cut out that quote. So I think this is a big deal and I hate to even have to say it's a big deal for a female pro sport athlete to be speaking common sense, but I think most of them agree with her. And we've heard a lot about Megan Rapinoe saying, oh, men should be able to play women's sports. There's been a lot of people speaking out on the flip side. I think this is a big win and I think Sophie Cunningham is going to become even more of a cultural force and I think that's good if you believe something that's pretty basic. Women's sports should be played by women.

[Buck Sexton]

And I Think Clay doesn't hate the fact that she's like a leggy blonde who, you know, you know, just saying.

[Clay Travis]

Look, I will say this.

[Buck Sexton]

Clay calls balls and strikes and he doesn't hate that she's not ugly. I'm just, I'm here observing just like the rest of you.

[Clay Travis]

The AOC may get elected president, sadly may be a Democrat nominee and has a political career largely I think because she's an attractive politician. JFK back in the day did too. I think the fact that Sophie Cunningham is an attractive blonde certainly increases her appeal. But the fact that she's sane and normal, I think is going to take it to a totally different level. And buck, look, I think a big part of this is people want to have role models in athletics for their daughters. And there's a lot of dads out there listening to us right now and a lot of granddads out there listening to us right now, moms and grandpa, grandmas too, that are taking their little girls at 5 years old up early in the morning to go swim or to go play soccer or to go play softball or whatever the sport they're pursuing is. It's a lot of effort. My son, my 15 year old is playing football right now. He has to be at the school every morning for practice at 6am right now my wife is getting up super early to get him there. If he's competing against people who are cheating, then I think that is a significant deal. If I had a daughter and there was some boy showing up dominating in the sport, I'm going to be honest with you, I would lose my mind. The fact that this has been allowed to happen anywhere is, is bonkers to me.

[Buck Sexton]

Totally agree on that.

[Clay Travis]

And they want a role model and now they got one. And I think what you'll see is when you are brave enough to speak truth, other people follow. Once you have taken the slings and arrows of condemnation for being willing to say it. So good for her. Is this you or me? You got us.

[Buck Sexton]

[X Games Announcer]

The first ever X Games League championship is going down live. And New Orleans has the call. Three days of elite action sports. A season's worth of competition. Competition coming down to one final weekend. Watch July 24 through 26 on ABC, ESPN and ESPN2, or stream on the ESPN app, X Games, YouTube, Kick Roku sports channel and Amazon. The championship starts July 24. Don't miss the moment. It becomes history.

[Mike Collins]

Well, excuse me.

[Buck Sexton]

Welcome back in here to Clay and Buck. Brad in Texas wants to chat with us. Brad, you got an interesting background, buddy. Tell us what's going on here.

[Brad from Texas]

Hey guys, thanks for having me on. Yeah, I. And I'll be really quick here. Became Secretary of state in 2005. The first legislation I had introduced, passed and signed was to require the use of paper ballots in Montana. That became really important in the election cycle of 2006. We had a tied House of Representatives, 50 50. The governor was a Democrat and under Montana law that meant control of the House went to the Democrats. So we had a tide house race in 2006. We took those paper ballots down to that district, sat around the table and put each ballot and each stack until we were done. Three votes. Three votes shifted to the Republican candidate which shifted the control of the House of Representatives in Montana. So the point there is obviously voter fraud does not need to be rampant in order to have a huge impact. And then just real quickly, one other observation and that is this, guys, look, maintaining election integrity is absolutely critical. But what is even more important is for us to maintain the confidence that the American people have in the outcome of the process.

[Clay Travis]

Amen. Thank you for the call, Buck. This is why one of the characteristics for conflict when it comes to lawyers, when it comes to Don Politic politics and everything else, it's not just impropriety, it's the appearance of impropriety that's the legal standard. Why? Because if it starts to look like something is not on the up and up. The mere fact that people start to distrust it is a significant factor as well. This is why we've been hammering California's, I think probably still counting votes from that primary. I don't think anybody could argue that the longer elections drag on and the more illegals we find who are casting ballots again, 400 illegal voters that we know of in New Jersey, the less anyone can trust the outcome of any of these races.

[Buck Sexton]

This is why the Democrats usually end up just slinging insults on this stuff because their argument is not sound.

[Clay Travis]

Amen. Let me tell you, he was just talking about the legal process and what you do when you need to contest an election. When you go look at the paper ballots, are you dealing with your own legal challenges right now? Are you going up against high priced attorneys? Are you dealing with insurance agency executives who are hiring attorneys that make 2, 3,000, $1,000 an hour? Some of these law firm rates are unbelievable. Now when you look at what lawyers count a charge hour by hour, you need your own lawyer that you can trust to fight hard for you in all 50 states no matter where you are listening right now. That's what clay travis law.com is for. You go there, you fill out a simple form. We'll get back to you and tell you whether or not we can help you for the legal challenges that you are facing. If you need a good lawyer who can stand up to for you and battle against the big guys on behalf of the little guy. That's what Clay travis law.com is all about. Put it in your phone, go check it out. Easy to fill out the form. Clay travis law.com welcome back in Clay and Buck. We're rolling through the Wednesday edition of the program and we are headed down to the state of Georgia, which is one of the big battleground states for control of the Senate. John Ossoff is the current sitting senator from Georgia. He is going to be running against Mike Collins who is the nominee for Republicans. And let's start off with this. You're running against him in the Senate and obviously this is going to be a huge battleground in Georgia where there's also going to be an open governor's race. So everybody in Georgia needs listening to us right now, needs to make sure they're registered, ready to go out and vote. But, but do you feel a bit like you're being completely overlooked? Because every time I see Ossoff's name mentioned now, Representative Collins, it's not about the fact that he has a Senate race coming up. It's whether he's going to be the Democrat nominee for president in 2028. But he's got a race in Georgia right now. Do you feel a little bit disrespected when you see that? Like they're overlooking you?

[Mike Collins]

No, that's fine. I don't mind that in one bit. But you know what the thing, the real thing is here, this is the number one race in the country to flip. I mean, you're talking about somebody. Yeah, I guess they can talk about him running for president all they want, but this guy's never been over 50% in the state of Georgia. So he's got a lot of work to do in Georgia. And we're going to make sure that we point out and that we keep his feet to the fire on the differences between me and him, because there cannot be any clear difference than two people that are running for the same position than what John Ossoff stands for and what I stand for. We're both one term. I've been one term in the House, he's been one term in the Senate. He's done absolutely nothing for the state of Georgia except make our life more expensive and less safe and left us worse off. Or you've got me at one term US House who has delivered for the people of Georgia. I mean, I've gotten two pieces of legislation passed and signed in law by two presidents of different parties. Just good common sense legislation. And we can show that. And that's where you go and point out the differences. You know, he can talk about, or they can try to gene him up running for president all they want. And that's because they cannot talk about the real issues in the state of Georgia and just how bad he's made things.

[Buck Sexton]

Congressman Collins, appreciate you being with us. I am going to go out on a limb here and guess that Ossoff is getting a lot of help, a lot of dollars, specifically from out of state. Do you have some sense of that and how much of this is, you know, New York, Los Angeles, the big Democrat financial centers are pushing a Democrat candidate in the state of Georgia for people that, you know, I mean, they can't vote there, but they can give a lot of money to his PACs, et cetera.

[Mike Collins]

Yeah, he only gets 18% of his money is coming out of Georgia. The rest of it, you're exactly right, is coming out of that far left activist crowd out of California, New York, these real blue states, these, these pro Hamas, these, these far left socialists, and, and they know that if they can feed him the money. And. And if, God forbid, they get him back in there, then you don't think they won't call that note do. And people of the state of Georgia don't think already that him voting not once but three times to let men play in girls sports. They think that's crazy enough. Just if they were to get him back in there, just see what he would be doing. This guy's already got a voting record that is as far left as it can get. It doesn't represent the state of Georgia. It certainly doesn't represent the values of the people of Georgia. And so we certainly don't need to see what it would be like if they got him back into that seat.

[Clay Travis]

We're talking with Mike Collins. He's the representative for the Senate race in Georgia for the Republican Party. John, to me, and I know Georgia pretty well because I've covered sports for a long time in Georgia, and by the way, I'm a big Braves fan. So they seem to be. I know not last night wasn't great, but they seem to be back on the winning trail a little bit for the second half of the season. Jon Ossoff has said that he thinks men should be able to play in women's sports, boys should be able to play in girl sports. That is absolutely insanely radical for representing a state of Georgia. For me, that alone is disqualifying. I hope you got a bunch of. Of of ads ready to roll of him endorsing that because, I mean, white, black, Asian, Hispanic. I don't know any men in America, really. Certainly not any Georgians that agree with that.

[Mike Collins]

Yeah, yeah. You know, and that's what I said. It's not just once that he voted for it. He did that three times. He not only did that, but he co sponsored the bill to allow men to use the women's restrooms. This guy's record is so far out of touch. He was the deciding vote on that disastrous Biden administration bill that led to all the inflation, your high prices on your fuel, your gas, your energy. And then turned around and had the opportunity to correct that with some people call it the big beautiful bill or the working families tax cut plan that we put forth under the Trump administration that cut taxes, saved the families thousands of dollars a year. No tax on tips, no tax on overtime, no tax on your Social Security. He voted against that. He was willing to have the largest tax increase in the history of this country put on top of already high prices and inflation in this. In the state of Georgia. So clearly he doesn't understand how to run this place up here. And he's all about the social experiment that they want to push on us.

[Buck Sexton]

I'm not aware of, Congressman, any time that Ossoff has broken with Democrats on any meaningful issue. I mean, you're in a, in a purple state there in Georgia and we like to think of it as red. But you know, there's. The recent Senate races, unfortunately have indicated otherwise. But the reality, it seems, is that with Ossoff, you get somebody who tries to charm just enough voters to stay in office, but votes along with the left, 30, 25 to 30% of the Democrat Party.

[Mike Collins]

Oh, yeah, yeah. You know, and a good example is that, you know, I've heard people down in South Georgia, oh, he came down here and talked a good game. He show sounded good. But then he went back up there and voted against the farm bill which was sitting in the working families tax cut plan. So, yeah, he'll go talk, tell you whatever you want to hear. But when it gets down to it, you know, you don't have to take my word for it. You don't have to take his word for it. Just look at our voting records. Look at what we've been able to accomplish because he's a one term U.S. senator. He's been there almost six years. I'm just a one term Congressman. Look at what we've been able to do in the time that we've been up here and who we've actually been delivering for that, that, that tells the story in itself. Not just the fact that I come from a small business background. I've been in trucking all my life. Just a good blue collar, solid business. This guy's never had a real job in his life. He's never had a real job. He won't ever have to work in his life. And we've got the right story, we've got the right message and we've got the right voting record that really reflects the state of Georgia. And in November, we'll make sure that we fire John Ossoff and you're going to have the right US Senator up there to represent the people of the state of Georgia.

[Clay Travis]

How can people help if they're listening right now? You're right. If you were to flip this seat, if Democrats were to lose this Georgia Senate seat, as they should, then there's no pathway whatsoever to them taking back control of the Senate. It becomes impossible. How can people help you?

[Mike Collins]

Sure they can. They can help us out. And go to Mike Collins, GA.com. help us out financially, help us out, spread the word, get out there on social media and back us up. Talk to folks, you know, people in Georgia. We've been out there, you know, we just got through with, with a big primary and a runoff. So we've been out there. We're going to continue, stay out on the road making laps around the state of Georgia. I tell people it's kind of like nascar, man. We just, we just out there making laps and, and let people know really what's been going on in Washington, D.C. because so many people are busy. I mean, they've got lives to live and families and jobs and trying to make a living. And so we'll, we'll continue to get that message. You know, if you look at all the polling data that's ever been out there, I'm the only candidate that has been either tied with or in the margin of error, John Ossoff. And so we look forward to just pushing that message on out there and getting this thing across the finish line.

[Clay Travis]

Amen. He's Mike Collins. It's a big race. It's an important race. Do everything you can, not only in Georgia, but elsewhere to help him get the dub. We appreciate the time, sir. Happy to help out as the campaign continues.

[Mike Collins]

Thank you. Good talking to y'.

[Brad from Texas]

All.

[Clay Travis]

Thank you. That's Mike Collins in Georgia. That race, a huge one. And they have an open governor's race, too. So there's going to be a big decision to be made in Georgia along with Michigan. I would argue those two states are probably the two most important out there in this midterm. When you look at open governor's races and senate races as well, hey, let me ask you a question. How many of you have credit card debt that is higher than you would like it to be? How many of you lay awake sometimes at night thinking, hey, oh my goodness, what am I gonna do?

[Clay Travis]

Welcome back in. Welcome playing Buck. Appreciate all of you hanging out with us. Buck I haven't gone to see the Odyssey yet, but Elliot Page, AKA Ellen Page has done. In addition to playing a Greek soldier, by the way, not sure how many Greek soldiers I could have beaten in combat. Ellen Page very confident that if you gave me a sword to fight against Ellen Page, I. I would have to be a substantial favorite in that battle.

[Buck Sexton]

I think I'd put my money on you, buddy. I'd put my money on you.

[Clay Travis]

I appreciate it. Elliot. Slash. Ellen Page has a new nature documentary and it's important for all of you to understand that animals can be non binary and ginger gender fluid to cut 23.

[Sibling]

So it's a nature documentary that explores how, you know, what we were taught in biology class in terms of, you know, gender and sex being this really binary thing in nature. Men being the dominant, violent, aggressive ones, women being inferior and submissive. And what have you. And just none of it's. Literally none of it's true. It's, it's. It's a quaint little myth. Nature's so expansive. The gender binary. I mean, it just doesn't exist. I mean, gender, sex, it's a spectrum. And this documentary goes into all of this.

[Buck Sexton]

I mean, mentally ill blather. I would just point out that this is. Don't ever be fooled by this. Don't ever allow this deception to work with any of you. The second they start to talk about, you know, frogs that can shift gender based upon the needs of the. Of the, you know, the species population at that time, or they start to talk about intersex human beings or any of this stuff. That's not what transgenderism is about. That's not what transgender. Transgenderism is. I think I'm a woman. You have to say, I'm a woman. I'll grow out my hair, maybe dye it purple, but I'll grow out my hair and wear women's clothing. And you have to say that I, this new woman, am exactly the same legally, culturally, and socially as a woman who has been a woman her entire life and was born a female, etc. That is transgenderism. It is not. Oh, there's a species of anti. That can, you know, change its gonads if. No, that has nothing to do with it. Just want to be very. Because they'll do this sometimes. They'll be like, what about people who are intersex? Is that why we need to have bathrooms with guys going into girls bathrooms? Because of the 0.001% of the population that is intersex? No,

[Clay Travis]

that is crazy. I wanted you to hear it. I also Buck, have another crazy take. This was from Congress yesterday. Jasmine Crockett, who is on her way out. She has been defeated. She is not going to be in Congress anymore. We may see her on the View soon. The View, by the way, cost cutting measures in effect. They are restricting how much money the ladies have for their wardrobes. But Whoopi Goldberg is still being paid, according to the New York Post mid seven figures. Which would mean what? She's making five, six million dollars a year for that awful show? Maybe Jasmine Crockett is going to be auditioning on the View soon. You might think that's crazy. I don't. I think she's going to move into television here. She says, although she gets stumbling around and she can't really make the argument that she's trying to make. She says if you watched the World cup final, which, Buck, was the most watched sporting event on television other than the super bowl since the 1994 Winter Olympics. Nancy Kerrigan against Tanya Harding. So this World cup, other than the super bowl, was the most watched sporting event ever. If you found yourself rooting for Argentina, well, you're racist. Cut 16.

[Jasmine Crockett]

The World cup, that, that captured the imaginations of the entire world when they saw all of these people of color that was playing for all these teams. And ultimately, if you recall the last two teams, it was Argentina and Spain. And it seemed like the vast majority of the world was rooting for Argentina or actually against Argentina. Right. And why was that? Just give me a explanation. If you could guess. If you'll just let them finish the answer.

[Buck Sexton]

Spain had the best team. Maybe that's why they were rooting for them.

[Jasmine Crockett]

There's also a racist history that. Mr.

[Child]

Buyer.

[Clay Travis]

So this is like, this is a real congressional hearing. I don't know if you'd heard that yet, Buck. And, and that is absolutely just utterly unbelievable.

[Buck Sexton]

Real question for you. If she got it, if she got a seat on the View, would she be the most cognitively limited member of that table? I don't think so.

[Brad from Texas]

No.

[Clay Travis]

I think she would actually not be awful at it as view standard.

[Buck Sexton]

I think she'd be pretty good. Yeah, I think she'd be pretty good on the View. I'll be honest with you. I think so. Probably pretty memorable.

[Clay Travis]

But think about how crazy this is racist. Do you. What? How many races do you think are big fans of a Latin American soccer team? Do you think kkk, like, when they get together, they're like, oh, make sure we don't miss the Argentina game. I mean, this is all so crazy that you would end up in a position. Position where they would even be attempting to argue this. But this is.

[Buck Sexton]

She didn't even know politics. She didn't even know what she was trying to pretend. She thought. She just wanted to say racism.
