Buck Sexton
Welcome back in hour number three, Clay Travis Buck Sexton show. Appreciate all of you hanging out with us. Open phone lines. We just had Alan Dershowitz on the program at the end of the last hour. If you want to weigh in on anything he said you can hop on the line and let us know. You can also give us talkbacks. Easy way to get in touch with all of us. Want to continue to encourage all of you to go subscribe to the Clay and Buck podcast. I want us to get 100,000 subscribers. I believe we are sitting around 82,000. But just about every time that I ask you guys to go subscribe, we add about a thousand people. So that would suggest I'm going to have to do this for about three weeks and then we're going to hit a hundred thousand subscribers and we can continue to grow from there. I think there is a very strong chance that soon you will be able to watch to the extent that you want to. And I understand why some of you would say that you do not want to. You will be able to watch Buck and me on the program video wise on the, on the YouTube channel. So we just want to be as many different places as we can be to allow you guys to consume the show to your heart's content, certainly download, subscribe to the podcast and you can find us all over the social media channels that you might otherwise be consuming. So that is a kind of no brainer as I would encourage you to kind of find us wherever you may be. And if you are trying to reach and influence kids, grandkids, people who are young, they're on YouTube and they're on TikTok. That is where my kids are all the time. They watch no television. That is where they spend all their time on social media. You can share links from the show, maybe things that you would enjoy. Um, couple of news stories that I think are important. Uh, we talked to Senator Marsha Blackburn last hour as well. They've talked about it since Marsha Blackburn said all the way back, since Ronald Reagan was president, defunding pbs, npr, no taxpayer funds. It has finally happened. So that is yet another promise made, promise kept by President Trump. Uh, Buck, just quickly here on the Dershowitz, I understand that people are going to say, oh, I. And that's why I directly asked him, I said, hey, a huge percentage of this audience is going to say, you're lying. He jumped right in and started answering it beforehand. I understand we're at a point where people who believe that There is a huge massive cover up on Epstein. Are going to believe everyone who talks about it is lying if they're saying something other than every famous person you know should go to prison for this. That is where the Epstein expectations have gone. I think, as we have said on the show, the deci decision to go with phase one of the Epstein files and bring in all the social influencers and parade them in front of cameras holding binders that had no information in them, that was a miscalculation. But Alan Dershowitz came on, made his arguments to you about what he knows to be in there, actually named a bunch of guys specifically said that Trump was not named as someone who was accused inside of the Epstein files. And I don't know very many people outside of having worked in the Department of Justice or the, or the FBI that would have more knowledge than him. Also, I wanted to play this, I don't know this ever happened before. Buck. I'm going to give credit to Joe Scarborough. Joe Scarborough, I, I, this is, I mean this is a record scratch moment. This has never happened in the history of the program. But Joe Scarborough had a Democrat congressman on the program and it was a simple and straightforward question and I do think it is one that all of you should keep in mind. All of these people claim that they care so desperately on the Democrat side so suddenly about what is going to end up happening with the Epstein files, but they were actually in positions of power for four years. None of these people said a word about it. Can we play Joe Scarborough, of all people making that point this morning on Buck's formerly favorite show, Morning Joe?
- [04:29]
Clay Travis
Congressman could have gotten that from 21 to 25 when Democrats controlled the DOJ. Why, it was a crisis then, it's a crisis now. Why didn't, why didn't Democrats call for it from 21 to 25? So I mean, you have to go back, look specifically at particular prosecutorial decisions and what was taking place in terms of the other cases. So I don't know, we could try to reconstruct that record. But the point is, is that Donald Trump is the one who has led the crusade to say that Epstein, who was his very close friend and there's all kinds of pictures of them.
- [05:13]
Buck Sexton
Okay, he went on there. But I do think those of you out there need to understand if, if on the Trump voter side people want to debate about Epstein, I think that's valid. But also understand that Democrats are now trying to score political points and they have zero interest in any kind of activity having to do with delivery on the Epstein front because if they did, they would have not just had power for four years and done nothing. I do think that's significant here. They are used. This is one point that Trump has correctly pointed out. They are using this to try to divide the Republican side and they aren't doing it with clean hands themselves. They wanted nothing to do with any kind of Epstein stuff when they were in power and now they turn around and try to get Trump with it and other Republicans.
- [06:01]
Clay Travis
Can we talk about the ESPYs now?
- [06:03]
Buck Sexton
Yes, now we can have.
- [06:04]
Clay Travis
Let's, let's pivot. Can we pivot and have some fun here? Okay.
- [06:07]
Buck Sexton
I wanted to make sure we completely delivered on the Epstein thing. I think we got Dershowitz on. I think we've answered everything now on that. All right, let's have some fun last night. Do you have, do you know Shane Gillis at Allbuck? Do you know that comedian? Have you watched him very much?
- [06:23]
Clay Travis
I do, but one, one, just one just programming note here. Clay was going to be off today. Just so you know, he had the day off, but he loves the show so much that he just decided this morning he didn't want a day off. So he's here. So. Because I said yesterday I had a.
- [06:37]
Buck Sexton
Dinner with one of the big advertisers on the show. Fabulous dinner. The Prize Picks crew down in Atlanta, where they're based, we went to an early dinner, 6 o'. Clock. I was done at 8:30 and I was like, hey, I can sleep in my hotel room or I can just drive back and not have to drive back during the day. So boom, you get three hours of me. I'm going to tell you if it's.
- [06:57]
Clay Travis
If it's a less than three hour drive and I can make it at night and be in my own bed. I actually always choose that door. I always want to be in my own bed. If I can make that, if it's just a drive situation. So whenever we're up in, we're in Palm beach or we're in Naples or in Tampa, if it's a striking distance drive and I can be home that night, that's what I do too. So I get that.
- [07:20]
Buck Sexton
Okay, so I understand somebody. You didn't watch this.
- [07:22]
Clay Travis
You asked me about Shane Gillis, so I was just. Yeah. Shane Gillis to me became incredibly famous based on a couple of clips he did from a stand up where he, it was actually his Trump. I think it was called Beautiful Dogs was the name of the stand up. And he did Trump Talking about the Baghdadi Raid, which is one of the funniest stand up clips, standalone stand up clips that I have seen in years. It holds up very well. And now he's, he's become a pretty big household name certainly for a comedian.
- [07:51]
Buck Sexton
Okay, can we play. Let's start with this one because this was one you have to listen carefully. This was one that I was. So you can go watch the entire 10 minutes. And I think it's pretty funny. It is edgy. Off the charts. Edgy for Disney and, and ABC and espn because it is not politically correct. But first, I think we have the audio and I don't have the numbers in front of me. So he plays a prank. You really kind of need to see the video. But I thought this was one of the funniest parts of his, of his monologue. He introduces a woman in the stand in the crowd as a four time WNBA all star. Everyone in the whole place claps. Listen to this.
- [08:35]
Shane Gillis
Can we stop pretending? Donald Trump knows ball? It's like a weird thing where they're like, man, he loves what he doesn't know anything about sports. Every time a team comes and visits the White House, he's like, and you must be the guy who catches. Look at these guys. Big guys, black guys. And that's just what the New York Liberty visited.
- [09:01]
Buck Sexton
Okay, that is a little bit different, Joe, but that New York Liberty is a WNBA team and he basically just. He didn't. Basically he called them all men. And you can hear that reaction where everybody's like, ooh, there are angry people inside of espn. The dei, text threads and email chains are blowing up like crazy. And we have several different cuts here. And again, I think it's just kind of emblematic of how quickly everything has changed in the culture. Here he is making fun of the. A bookie talking about Bill Belichick and his super young 24 year old girlfriend. Cut 3.
- [09:43]
Shane Gillis
A bookie is what Bill Belichick reads to his girlfriend before bedtime. They do. They read the Very Horny Caterpillar, the Little Engine that Could but needed a pill first. And of course the classic goodnight boobs.
- [10:07]
Buck Sexton
So, and then here is cut one. He made an Epstein joke as well, which kind of points out, hey, this thing is totally suffused society in general. Cut one.
- [10:15]
Shane Gillis
Actually, there was supposed to be an Epstein joke here, but as it got deleted, must have probably deleted itself, right? Probably never existed. Actually, let's move on as a country and ignore that.
- [10:34]
Buck Sexton
So he made a lot of people uncomfortable. He did what comedians used to do. It wasn't as good as the Ricky Gervais opening for the Golden Globes, which I think is the greatest monologue in modern history in terms of ridiculing the crowd. But he made a lot of the people in the audience uncomfortable with some of the jokes that he told. And I thought it was pretty good. And I think it's culturally important because it respects or signifies how things are changing. By the way, let me play this. This is the last. Gill is 35. This is when he makes fun of nobody knowing WNBA players. All right, it might not be in yet. We'll play when we come back. So what's your takeaway on this?
- [11:18]
Clay Travis
I was surprised at how, how edgy he was.
- [11:22]
Buck Sexton
We got two edgy ones still to play, so we can play those in a sec.
- [11:25]
Clay Travis
Here I was when we come back.
- [11:26]
Buck Sexton
Out of the next break.
- [11:27]
Clay Travis
He was willing to go there. And obviously it's gotten the ESPYs a lot of attention. But just goes to show you how idea how ideologically infused, as I have learned in large part from your presence here on the show, the sports media actually is how left wing they are that there are people who work at ESPN who, instead of saying, wow, people actually remember that the ESPYs were on because of this guy. I'm sure that there'll be more talk and more chatter online about the sps. And there has been in a very long time. I didn't even know was happening last night. All I saw were the Shane Gillis clips. They, they don't view this as business first. They view this as they think that there are lines that aren't allowed to be crossed in the world of the woke. And he crossed some of those lines. That was the thing that, you know, the WNBA is one of these. The left, even though they don't watch it, they feel the need to protect it. You're not allowed to really go after the wnba. They're, they're, it's like, you know, they're, they're, they're in the safe zone of.
- [12:32]
Buck Sexton
You can't make jokes about should we play these? And we come back, by the way. So we got a couple of more that I think are going to make you laugh and also indicate the culture wins shifting in a substantial way. And I think Buck pointing out, like, who you're allowed to make fun of is a huge part of where the culture wins are because remember Dave Chappelle, they tried to cancel his own Netflix special because he made fun of trans people. And their opinion was, well, you can't make fun of trans people at all, and Dave Chappelle obviously did not support that idea. Right now over in Israel we are dealing with the continued fallout of the battle that basically began on October 7th in 2023 when Israel was invaded, and the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews has been an important link to help make that part of the world safer. They're giving so much in terms of bomb shelters, in terms of bulletproofing, first responder vehicles, all those things. Your gifts can help make a tremendous difference to protecting people in Israel as they are constantly dealing with the threat and the danger of missiles falling at any moment, bombs going off. Now is your time to save and heal Israel's innocent and most vulnerable. To rush your gift, call 888-488 IFCJ. That's 888488 IFCJ.

Clay Travis
Welcome back into Clay and Buck. All right, so we got some more jokes. Kind of loosen it up. Lighten it up.
- [15:17]
Buck Sexton
A little joke today. Lighten it up.
- [15:19]
Clay Travis
We got jokes here. And not just references to Titanic where Clay as Rose in this analogy is clinging to that door while people are just popping below the ink black sea and going down into the depths at night. And Clay could reach down and save New York Jack in this. And no, he's Actually just pushing New York's head under the water saying, you know what? You go, the better it is for you.
- [15:55]
Buck Sexton
To be fair, a lot of people are rooting for me to continue the drownings. I asked should Republicans stop panicking and try to find an alternative and. Or just let commie mom Donnie win and just let basically Mom Donnie win. 76% of the audience is voting, just let Mom Donnie win and get out of the way.
- [16:17]
Clay Travis
You know, didn't, didn't a lot of them go to New York for Christmas holiday and go to Macy's and sit on Santa's lap when they were kids or whatever? Like, don't they have memories of New York City that make them nostalgic? All right, maybe not. Apparently not. So I'll just skip past that one. But all right, we got 34. This is a. We got. I haven't heard these two jokes. Clay sent these jokes in. So this is all on Clay. If anyone, if anyone is upset by the edginess of the joke. I'm taking no heat for this one. This is 34. But it's not Clay saying it, it's Shane Gillis. Hit it.
- [16:50]
Shane Gillis
When Caitlin Clark retires from the wnba, she's going to work at a Waffle House so she can continue doing what she loves most. Fist fighting black women.
- [17:03]
Clay Travis
Oh yeah.
- [17:04]
Buck Sexton
Oh yeah, that reaction.
- [17:06]
Clay Travis
Yeah.
- [17:06]
Buck Sexton
Buck's face is great on this. He hasn't heard the. This is, this is what ESPN put out. And I'm telling you there is a full on revolt inside of the company over this.
- [17:16]
Clay Travis
I could imagine the woke Gen Z and millennial contingent of ESPN employees are not happy with these SB jokes.
- [17:25]
Buck Sexton
So there is a Caitlin Clark and basically she gets beat up by everybody in the wnba. Here is another joke. This is. And the video is out there. We'll put it, put it up at the Clay and Buck account so that you can see it. But here he is pointing out to the crowd as one often does at these events and drawing attention to this woman, a four time WNBA allstar. Listen carefully. This is what it sounded like.
- [17:51]
Shane Gillis
Four time WNBA all star, Brittany Hicks is here. Give it up for Brittany everybody. I'm, I'm joking around. That's my friend's wife. I knew none of you knew WNBA players. That's crazy. You clap for that.
- [18:08]
Buck Sexton
That's actually a pretty good joke. All right, so no, you point to somebody, they put the camera on her and everybody's cheering. Hey, four time NBA star. And it's WNBA star. Turns out nobody has any idea who she is and they're just clapping for clapping sake. So that entire monologue is up. Not perfect. Not the greatest monologue that's ever been done. But I do think culturally it is sending messages about how society is altering and largely rejecting sort of the woke universe that was created. We'll take some of your calls. We'll react again. We had Alan Dershowitz on in the second hour. Some of you weighing in on that. Also, a lot of people weighing in on every subject under the sun. 800-282-2882 if you want to call. And we will play a bunch of your talkbacks here in the last half hour. In the meantime, some families are fortunate enough to have a place to get away. A listener of ours in Chicago has parents who love spending time at the family second home. Perfect in every way, a lake house except there's no cell phone.

Welcome back in Clay Travis BUCK SEXTON show. I appreciate all of you hanging out with us as we are rolling through the Thursday edition of the program. Appreciate all of you. Um, let's have some fun with this. We talked about Sunday, right? Sunday was the one year anniversary of the near assassination of President Trump. And we talked about on Monday and I think also on Friday leading into and after that anniversary, what a tremendous change in history it would have been if we had seen that succeed and President Trump had been shot on television and how fortunate we all were to avoid that happening. And so I do think this is interesting primarily because journalists can make a lot of things about themselves. And, and this though even kind of staggered me. We have a CBS Sports, sorry, CBS News reporter that is discussing what he saw on that day. He was there covering the event at Butler, Pennsylvania he's on with Chuck Todd. This is Scott McFarlane. He says that he got PTSD not because Trump was almost shot, but because after the shooting of Trump, he saw in the eyes of the Trump supporters at the rally that they were going to tear him apart if Trump had actually been shot. This is real. How do you make it about yourself? Trump takes a bullet to the ear. This guy took a leave of absence and said he has PTSD because of Trump supporters. CBS news correspondent Seth McFarlane. Scott. Sorry, Scott McFarland. Cut 26.
- [21:57]
Clay Travis
For those of us there, it was such a horror because you saw a. An emerging America, and it wasn't the shooting, Chuck. This was.
- [22:08]
Buck Sexton
I got diagnosed with PTSD within 48 hours.
- [22:11]
Clay Travis
I got put on trauma leave, not because I think of the shooting, but because you could. You saw it in the eyes, the reaction of the people. They were coming for us. If he didn't jump up with his fist, they were going to come kill us.
- [22:23]
Buck Sexton
I know they were going to come kill him. Buck. He survived. It was basically like naming Clay.
- [22:31]
Clay Travis
Clay, my man needs. He needs chalk stat. Like, a lot. Like, we need to send him a pallet. Not even just a box, a pallet of chalk. He needs to start just doubting that stuff because the wimpiness level on this guy with the PTSD from people being mad at the media is truly off the charts, even for libs. The T levels. Rosie o' Donnell's got higher T levels than this guy. I mean, this is pretty scary stuff.
- [22:57]
Buck Sexton
Can you imagine? Surely some of the bosses at CBS News were like, you're taking a leave of absence for PTSD because Trump got shot, but you think you were in danger from his supporters. You think they were really going to kill you. I mean, this is next level delusion. I do think it's significant. So, yes, this guy's a pussy willow. He deserves to be ridiculed and mocked. But I do think it tells us what they think about Trump supporters. Trump supporters, in my experience, are actually some of the nicest, most helpful people on the planet, particularly those who are going to a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. They're gonna kill. They're gonna kill the media there. He's telling on himself about his inability to impartially cover the news, that he has such disdain for the people that are at the rally supporting Trump. So I think this is significance, not only on a personal level, what it tells about him and what a wuss he is, but also what he thinks about all of the people there who voted for Trump. So I thought that was significant. By the way, we got a bunch of talkbacks and I was talking about how I wanted. And please continue. For you to go subscribe to the Clay and Buck YouTube channel. And this is from Sam from Minnesota listening On News Talk 1130, 103.5. Radio up there says, hey, you guys are talking and influencing a lot of young people every day. I do think this is true, but aa.
- [24:34]
Clay Travis
I mean, Jack already had, like, hypothermia. He was already freezing to death. So getting them on the door, I mean, the air, it was freezing. He would have died anyways. Wouldn't have mattered.
- [24:45]
Buck Sexton
All right, that is actually another topic, which is I think that Kate Winslet's character, Rose, let Jack freeze to death. That is not what I called for a. A is Sam in Minnesota?
- [24:57]
Clay Travis
Can I just.
- [24:58]
Buck Sexton
You want to weigh in? You are. You're not.
- [25:00]
Clay Travis
I want to weigh in. Okay. Rose, played by McGah. What's her name?
- [25:07]
Buck Sexton
Famous actress, Kate Winslet.
- [25:09]
Clay Travis
Kate Winslet. Thank you. She was a buxom. A buxom lass, you could say. She could have. She could have taken little skinny Leo.
- [25:18]
Buck Sexton
And, you know, she. Buxom lass or is that offensive now? I think that was like, in 1880, that was the thing you would say about an attractive woman, I think, Bucks.
- [25:28]
Clay Travis
Some lass. I mean, FCC's not coming for me on that one. Buck. Some last. What's wrong? She was light. I'm so, you know, she could have warmed him up a little bit, held him close. Little Leo, he looked like. He looked like, you know, he was the. The coxswain on the crew team, if you get my drift. Like, not exactly an imposing figure in that. In that movie. So I think she could have, you know, rubbed his little. His little weak man chest and. And brought him back. I think he would have been okay.
- [25:56]
Buck Sexton
What odds do you think you could have gotten back in the Growing Pains day that the guest. What was he like, adopted son or whatever he was on Growing Pains back in the day would become. I do think it's true that Leonardo DiCaprio, that character on Growing Pains, was going to become the best actor of his generation.
- [26:16]
Clay Travis
Yes. I mean, you could say that about.
- [26:17]
Buck Sexton
But if you go back with any.
- [26:18]
Clay Travis
Any great.
- [26:19]
Buck Sexton
Thousand to one.
- [26:20]
Clay Travis
Yeah. If you go back with any great actor, you know, the early stuff, you'd be like, how could you ever have known? You know, there's. There's talent. There's a lot of luck involved, too.
- [26:29]
Buck Sexton
I do think he's the most talented of his generation. Now, people Are going to say, hey, define the generation. I think DiCaprio is 47 or 48, if I'm not mistaken. So somebody who's under the age of 50. Brad Pitt would be a little bit older, I think. Certainly Tom Cruise over 60.
- [26:45]
Clay Travis
Daniel Day Lewis, you put in a different generation.
- [26:47]
Buck Sexton
Well, I think, yeah, he'd be like 70 or something. Probably 75. Great actor. But if you look at the depth of movie that DiCaprio has made, whether it's comedy. Wolf of Wall street, actually very, very funny, darkly comic. But the. Was it the Aviator where he played Howard Hughes? Titanic.
- [27:04]
Clay Travis
Daniel day Lewis, only 68. Let's not get too crazy here. Only 68.
- [27:09]
Buck Sexton
But he only makes like one movie a year. Did you watch the Lincoln movie when he played Abraham Lincoln?
- [27:14]
Clay Travis
Yes, when he had Lincoln talking like this, the whole movie, which was super weird, by the way. Like a high, whispery voice. I did not like the Lincoln movie. I did not think it was good.
- [27:25]
Buck Sexton
By the way we were playing this just popped on my feed. I think you'll appreciate it. New York magazine, we talked about letting New York go to mom Donnie. Headline New York Magazine right now. Shane Gillis, the famously offensive comedian took several unfunny swipes at the women of the WNBA during the annual SB Award ceremony. This is their lead story right now at New York magazine, which is, I told you this was going to happen off air. I said they're going to come for him because he made fun, made a joke at a black woman's expense as a white guy. That's not allowed. And I guarantee you there's a full fledged panic inside of Disney over this right now.
- [28:03]
Clay Travis
Well, keep me, keep me informed of any of the woke machinations behind the scenes over at espn. I want to know what ends up happening here. They're going to have to do something.
- [28:14]
Buck Sexton
They're. They're going to, they're gonna have to issue an apology for comedy maybe, which is. Yeah, perfect.
- [28:19]
Clay Travis
The sports network. Okay, we had another clip you wanted to play. I just wanted to weigh in on the buxom last, but go ahead.
- [28:24]
Buck Sexton
Yes, I believe this was AA giving us some credit. And again, this is why I want the YouTube subscriber numbers out there. I want you guys to be able to share clips with kids and grandkids where they are as opposed to having to tell them, hey, turn on your radio at 1:30 in the afternoon and you're gonna. Right, okay. They're on YouTube. They're already there. You can send them links. Here is AA re acting.
- [28:46]
Clay Travis
Hey, Clan. Buck, I know you just said that this was mostly a grandparent parents nation, but I think you really underestimate how many young people actually are influenced by you guys and listen to the radio every single day. That's 29 year old blue collar guy from Minnesota that listens every single day and had day one. So thanks, peace and blessings, guys.
- [29:05]
Buck Sexton
Look, we love everybody of every age that listens.
- [29:08]
Clay Travis
I don't know if everybody could hear that. You want to just give a quick summary?
- [29:11]
Buck Sexton
He said, I'm 29 years old. Yeah, 29 years old blue collar guy from Minnesota. I've listened every day for the last several years and I think you're talking to a lot of young people. I think that's true. Look, they're all different ages that are out there listening. I'm just saying as a dad, 17, 14 and 10 year old boys, it's YouTube and it's TikTok. Otherwise they are not on any sort of otherwise media. And so I think you can sometimes find your kids and grandkids where they are. I love it if we got 14 year olds listening, right?
- [29:37]
Clay Travis
We say this, you know, we say this often about our beloved truckers because they spend often three hours every day with us as they're doing their important work all across the country. But it's really true of anybody given when our show is on. I know west coast, it's in the morning, but still, you know, it goes up to lunchtime. But people are able to listen while they work in a way that I think it's harder with YouTube. Right? You can actually put your headphones in. You could be in the car driving. You do what you got to do. And so it's a, I think it's a great honor that we get to keep people company while they're doing their jobs. One of the great advantages of radio, one of the great advantages of, of audio is we get to hang out with you while you're being productive or not. If you just decide you want to like maybe shirk work a little bit, show is just as good. While you're hanging out, kicking your feet up on the desk and telling Lumberg that somebody else is going to do.

I mean just look at the price of gold. Look what it's doing on a, on a chart you'll say hold on a second. See because they can't just make gold appear poof. On a spreadsheet. Oh look at that.

All right, we're closing up shop today on Clay and Buck. And Clay, you're in tomorrow, right? No, no special surprise.
- [33:36]
Buck Sexton
I am. I am back in the saddle here. Home in Nashville. No challenging. By the way, happy birthday to my mom. I'm glad you reminded me. Today is her birthday. We got dinner tonight. I don't know, what's the age where you're not allowed to say how old a woman is? I feel like there's an age and then you get to an age where you don't care again, Right? Is that fair?
- [33:54]
Clay Travis
Oh, I don't know. I thought. I think after 30 you're just. You just go err on the side of nobody knows after.
- [34:00]
Buck Sexton
Oh, really? But I thought maybe like after 70 you start to say your age again. No, not a good idea. She's 81. Okay, well, she's 81. She looks much young. There we go. But happy 81st birthday to my mom. Unless you're not supposed to know, in which case she is 41.

Clay Travis
I'm glad we established the rule for Clay just so he could break it right away. So we will get into some welcome to my world. We will get some talkbacks. Here we have GG Joshua in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Let's play it Megaditto Shields High. Guys, I'm sure you've both heard of and probably seen Escape from New York. You know, it's America's Gotham City. We got Chuck the Penguin, Schumer and Quid Pro Cuomo. So why don't we just wall it off? And it'd be another wall that the left can be mad about. But it'll work. If you've seen the movie, you know what I'm talking about. God bless America. God bless you guys.
- [34:58]
Buck Sexton
Everybody agrees with me on this, Buck, that we should just toss New York City to the commies and strengthen the rest of the country. I. I knew it might be a little bit controversial. I didn't expect it to be so popular. We got some funny ones. Jessica from outside New York says maybe. Well, this is not even necessarily funny. This is following up on the argument we. This is WOR radio. She wants New York City separated from the rest of the state.
- [35:23]
Clay Travis
I agree with that, Clay and Buck.
- [35:25]
Buck Sexton
Caller, who said to separate New York.
- [35:27]
Clay Travis
State from New York City. The city's politics are wild, crazy, and.
- [35:32]
Buck Sexton
The people who live in the actual physical state do not agree with them. I think if they were separate, city would be obviously blue as it is, but this state would be red.
- [35:42]
Clay Travis
Thank you.
- [35:44]
Buck Sexton
I thought secession might be a bit aggressive, Buck, but it sounds like there are a lot of people out there that are like, hey, you know, the rest of the state upstate, which is basically everywhere other than New York City, would actually vote overwhelmingly red.
- [35:56]
Clay Travis
I wish I could say that this is so, but Buffalo. Very Democrat. What's that place? Rochester. Very Democrat.
- [36:10]
Buck Sexton
Spoken like a true New York City guy. What's that place? What's that. What's that place? That's also not in New York City.
- [36:17]
Clay Travis
Yeah, I mean, you get out. You get out there, you know. Yes, in the more rural areas, it's. It's. It's more red, but any. I think, you know, Albany. Damn. Of course, State capitol, Democrat. So it's not as easy. Friends. If I were. If I were a strong Islander, though, if I were all about the great area of Long island, which is particularly beautiful and wonderful this time of year, I would. You know, Long island saying it wants to be its own state. That would make a lot of sense to me because there you'd have some very sane governance.
- [36:45]
Buck Sexton
Overall, I think we got a fun hypothetical here. Do you see this one? Mm.
- [36:51]
Clay Travis
Let's play it. Hey, this is Ron from Florida. Love you guys. A little while back, Clay said that he thought he could swim from Alcatraz to the beach. I'm just wondering if Clay thinks he could make it through the Everglades from Alligator Alcatraz.
- [37:09]
Buck Sexton
I do not. That is a very. It's a great take. Great question. I think I could still make the swim from Alcatraz, but I mean that you. Anybody who has ever seen the Everglades, sometime, if you're flying into Miami or South Florida and you happen to look out the window if you have a clear day, I mean, we're talking about. What is it, like, a hundred miles? I mean, you could go in the wrong direction. You can't move very fast.
- [37:33]
Clay Travis
It's a true wilderness area. It's very big. Look, the only real problem you would have would be the Gators, and particularly the gators at night. And if you have to move through enough water and it's nighttime, I think. I think that gets pretty. I think that gets pretty tough. I would rather make the swim from Alcatraz than have to go over overnight through the. The gator. The gator infested parts of the Everglades.
- [37:58]
Buck Sexton
That you can see civilization from Alcatraz. Anybody who's ever been there. San Francisco Bay, as it. As civilization goes, is directly across the bay in the Everglades. I mean, you've taken those airbag airboat tours. You can go, I mean, huge distances without seeing anybody at all. I mean, that is not uncommon.
- [38:19]
Clay Travis
Yes, it would be quite a reality show, though. Clay and Buck escape from alligator Alcatraz. How far would we get? You know, that would be. That would be interesting. Hopefully, Clay wouldn't leave me behind to get eaten by the gators. They're also both.
- [38:33]
Buck Sexton
I think you would. I think you would fare off betwell. Your skin is very, very. You would get sunburned really bad before you even had to worry about the alligators. You might die of sunburn. I. I don't think either.
- [38:45]
Clay Travis
I get taken out by sun poisoning. That's not. That's not a cool way to go. That's rough.
- [38:49]
Buck Sexton
Well, it's like in the Civil War days. Like, you sign up to fight for the north or south, and then you get, like, measles and die in the camp. But it's really kind of. That's how most people ended up dying of disease, sadly.
