Our number three Clay Travis Buck Sexton Show. Appreciate all of you. Buck is out. He is with the Secretary of War, Pete Hegseth. He is with the head of NASA, Jared Isaacson. Isaacman Isaacson, something like that. And he has spent the day at Kennedy Space center as we prepare for a major launch into space. Another tour, I think it's Artemis 2 that is planning to head to the moon and engage in many different aspects of that space mission. And I believe he said that we have been invited to potentially watch a rocket ship take off which would be pretty cool. So hopefully we can we can find that and be able to to share some more experience with you. Buck will have some good stories I would imagine. Tomorrow when he is back, we're going to be joined by Senator Marsha Blackburn at the bottom of the hour. We've already talked with Senator Eric Schmidt of Missouri and Chicago Cubs Co owner Todd Ricketts. Really enjoyable conversations. Encourage you to go subscribe to the podcast. Search out my name, Clay Travis. Search out Buck Sexton. Go give us five stars. While you're there, write a funny review. Going to give producer Greg a new job.

So make us laugh and your review can end up on the program for the podcast. Also good news. A lot of you have been asking about this for a very long time. Starting next Monday, that is the 9th, on February 9th, this show will debut for the first time ever on satellite radio, the Triumph channel, channel 123. So for those of you out there that are traveling, people maybe that don't have consistent great reception of the 555am FM stations nationwide, maybe your particular area doesn't pull it up. You will be able to find the show in addition to the podcast, in addition to the 555 stations in all 50 states. You will be able to listen to the program starting a week from Today on Sirius XM channel 123. The show has never been on satellite radio before. We are continuing to expand and grow across all of the platforms because people consume shows so many different ways now than compared to the 80s and the 90s. We want to be everywhere. So starting in June we will have three hours of video every single day that you'll be able to see that hopefully will look pretty good. That will be on YouTube and other locations will be on satellite radio starting Monday. In addition to all of the ways that you are already experiencing this program. So something to look forward to there. I want to give you a positive story. I've been teasing this a little bit. Two super positive stories that I think are connected. Data from Washington D.C. during the course of the month of January. Homicides compared to last year down 80%. Robberies down 58%. Burglaries down 28%. Motor vehicle theft down 57%. All crime down 26%. Washington, D.C. is on pace to be the safest it has ever been in the history of any of our lives. Last year was the safest year in the history of any of our lives. We had 125 year low. When it comes to the murder rate. All of this is stacking up in a very significant way and people are voting with their feet as well to support good government. Lots of times people say, oh, it's also negative. I near never hear anything positive. Just in the last two weeks, two of the greatest stories that I've ever seen. We hit a new record for average lifespan in this country last year and we also hit a 125 year low for murders. Both of those are connected. Do you think maybe ICE deporting violent criminals has been impactful there? Do you think maybe having a secure border has been impactful there? And all associated with that good government is actually winning. This is the data from the census in the last year. Where are people moving? Overwhelmingly two states that Donald Trump won. Where are people leaving? Overwhelmingly states that Kamala Harris won. Let me give you some of this. Top 10 places people moved in the United States. North Carolina number one. Texas, number two. South Carolina number three. My home state of Tennessee, number four. This is in the last year according to the census. Arizona number five, Georgia, six, Alabama, seven, Florida, eight, Idaho, nine and Nebraska, sorry, Nevada, 10. What do all 10 of those states have in common? Donald Trump won all of them. So people are moving. They are choosing to move to red states where people leaving. Connecticut, Hawaii, Colorado, Maryland, Louisiana, Massachusetts, New Jersey, Illinois, New York, California. Only one of those states was won by Donald Trump. People are leaving blue states and they are moving to red states. Now I know some of you who live in those states. You're already blowing me up. I don't even have to check my mentions. I don't even have to check my emails. Clay they're locusts. They destroy the blue state. You're in California right now. It's a perfect example. They vote for awful things and then they bail and they go and they bring their politics with them. I understand that argument. Data doesn't support it. The red states are actually getting redder. The people that are the most fed up and are relocating tend to be redder even than the states that they are going to. Florida is a prime example of this. You remember when Florida was a toss up state. Remember we had to sit around for hours, weeks, months, Even back in 2000 to find out who won the state of Florida. Now we know about three hours after the votes are cast, overwhelmingly red state voters have flowed into Florida. My state of Tennessee has gotten deep red because people are coming to Tennessee and they are voting even redder than the people that are already there. What we are seeing is there are a lot of people making reasonable, rational choices based on the governance of where they are and saying, I'm done with this. I'm moving Census data. Top 10 movers, all Trump states. Top 10 losers, nine of them Kamala states. What we are seeing is Republicans make choices and govern in a way that makes everybody's lives better. And all of these blue states are starting to fall apart even more. Over the weekend. We got a lot of people with the show that work out of New York City. They've had a snowstorm in New York City and right now Mom Donnie can't get the streets clean and he can't get the garbage picked up. We're going to talk with Marsha Blackburn, senator from Tennessee, here shortly. Unfortunately, Nashville has got a moron Democrat mayor. They also have got a electric service that had over a hundred D E I meetings and trainings last year. If you're sitting around and you're thinking to yourself, why does the electric service need to have DEI instruction? I think you're asking good questions. Because the electric service where I am has to serve everybody. I don't know why you would need to be trained in diversity, equity and inclusion over a hundred different times. What I care about is turn the power on and get it back flowing. I grew up in a part of Nashville called Goodlettsville. Maybe some of you are listening in goodlettsville right now. Zip code 37072. It's on the north side of Davidson County. I lived my entire life in Goodlettsville. Right now, the Nashville electric service has put out a projection of how long it's going to take to turn the power back on after the ice storm in Nashville. Goodlettsville, Tennessee is the last place, the last zip code to get power. Three weeks. Let me repeat three weeks. We're not talking about a epic hurricane of unimaginable detail and destruction. We're talking about a winter storm that was on the forecast for weeks that everybody knew was coming. And this left mayor and this NES DEI obsessed electric service can't turn the power back on for people. I made the decision in my life after Covid. I was so angry. I was a born and raised Nashville kid. I went to public school K through 12. I lived in Nashville for much of my life. A decade ago we moved out to Franklin, Tennessee, which is Utopia, one of the greatest cities on the planet. We just moved again. My wife was looking, she said, where do we want to move? We're going to be closer to the kids school. We want to be able to live in a better, closer place to where we had to go every single day. I said, I will not leave Williamson county because I am so angry still over how Nashville handled Covid that I won't give them my property tax dollars. I made a conscious decision that I want to live in a better run community based on political decisions. And I think a lot of you are making those choices too. Now I also understand, I talked about it earlier. I'm in LA 2020. More people in California voted Trump than voted for Trump in 2020 in Texas. One of my favorite stats. I understand a lot of you are still behind enemy lines and you're having to deal with the incompetence and you can't move because you got K school or you got jobs that aren't easily able to translate. But increasingly more and more people are saying, I can't put up with this anymore. So if you're out there and you feel frustrated by the stupidity that you see at the Grammy Awards, if you're out there and like Todd Ricketts who just talked with us, you sometimes think, how in the world can people believe the things that they do? There are tens of millions of people thinking like you and every single day more and more people are moving to red states and strengthening those red states and making them better. And the blue states are going to get worse. And this is a cycle that is going to repeat itself. And I think it is going to become one of the biggest stories that exists out there in all of the country's history. Because my big thesis is post Covid, a lot of people realize they can live anywhere in the country they want and people are fed up with government that doesn't work with government that fails them and they are going to take their dollars like I did to places that make good decisions and they're going to pay their taxes in places that are going to make good choices and more people are going to move there and they're going to make better choices. And the flip side is going to be true. When you're making poor choices, things are going to continue to get worse. I think that's what the data is reflecting. And by the way, Donald Trump is making it better even for blue cities. That story on DC Is incredible. Murder rate may hit an all time low this year in Washington D.C. do you remember when they said, hey, this is not going to be effective. Oh, what is Trump going to do? It is going to be a disaster. It's going to be a disaster. That's what they said. Oh, there's no way to make it safer. Guess what? Everything got better. Trump was right yet again. Take some of your calls. Marsha Blackberg gonna join us at the bottom of the hour. We will discuss the latest on all the different issues dealing with power in both Mississippi and Tennessee as it continues to be awful in the wake of a ice storm and a failure, especially in the state of Tennessee by left wing government to be able to actually turn the power on for people out there who are increasingly fed up with the poor leadership that they are getting and that's why red state overall is surging in population and why blue states are losing again. That is data that just came out in the last couple of days. I want to tell you you can switch your cell phone service to Pure Talk, my family's pure cell phone service, and you can start saving Money today for 25 bucks a month, unlimited talk text, plenty of data. Compare that to your current monthly cell phone bill from one of the big wireless companies out there, it's a no brainer. If you're paying a hundred dollars or more every month, why not make the switch? Your cell phone service will still be on the same tower, same network, so you'll still have great nationwide 5G service. The only difference, you'll be saving 600 to $1,000 a year, if not more. How much would $1,000 mean to you at the end of the year? How much difference could that make for you? That's what PureTalk can take care of. You can keep your same phone number, you can keep your same phone. All you have to DO is dial £250 from your phone right now. Say the keywords clay and buck, you'll get 50% off your first month again. £2 5 0, say clay and buck to make the switch to pure talk today, that's £250, say clay and Buck.
