00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,320
Speaker 1: Welcome to today's edition of The Clay Travis and Buck

2
00:00:03,360 --> 00:00:08,640
Speaker 1: Sexton Show podcast. Welcome in. Congratulations everyone. You have made

3
00:00:08,640 --> 00:00:12,760
Speaker 1: it to Friday, and you may get off Monday. I'll

4
00:00:12,760 --> 00:00:15,400
Speaker 1: be back. I think Buck will be back early next week.

5
00:00:15,480 --> 00:00:17,759
Speaker 1: As you well know, he is on his honeymoon with

6
00:00:17,840 --> 00:00:20,720
Speaker 1: a lovely carry right now. I will be with you

7
00:00:20,800 --> 00:00:23,239
Speaker 1: on Monday, even though it is a holiday for many

8
00:00:23,280 --> 00:00:25,919
Speaker 1: people out there, President's Day. In fact, I think we're

9
00:00:25,920 --> 00:00:27,760
Speaker 1: the only show in all of I Heart that will

10
00:00:27,800 --> 00:00:31,280
Speaker 1: be live basically, but we will be here. You may

11
00:00:31,320 --> 00:00:33,360
Speaker 1: have a three day weekend coming up. I hope all

12
00:00:33,400 --> 00:00:36,920
Speaker 1: of you are in fantastic moods as we roll through February.

13
00:00:36,960 --> 00:00:40,199
Speaker 1: We've got a lot to discuss. We will be honoring

14
00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:45,680
Speaker 1: the memory, legacy, and impact of Russia Limbaugh during the

15
00:00:45,680 --> 00:00:50,239
Speaker 1: course of this program, as two years ago today he passed.

16
00:00:50,360 --> 00:00:53,720
Speaker 1: I know that is still a very difficult moment for

17
00:00:53,840 --> 00:00:56,280
Speaker 1: many of you, and that many of you, including both

18
00:00:56,280 --> 00:01:00,200
Speaker 1: Bucking myself, miss Russia Limbaugh every single day. We will

19
00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:03,000
Speaker 1: have a very timely tribute to him during the course

20
00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:08,560
Speaker 1: of today's program. East Palestine, Ohio continues to grow into

21
00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:12,040
Speaker 1: more and more of a calamity. We talked with the

22
00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:15,400
Speaker 1: congressman there on Wednesday. I thought we had a really

23
00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:18,560
Speaker 1: good discussion with him about the absolute latest on the ground.

24
00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:23,319
Speaker 1: But the response so far definitely begs the question of

25
00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:25,679
Speaker 1: what in the world is the Biden administration doing. We

26
00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:29,679
Speaker 1: will discuss Ron DeSantis has been branded as the new Trump,

27
00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:32,319
Speaker 1: even worse than Trump, as we told you would likely

28
00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:36,000
Speaker 1: be the case. And there's some interesting data out on

29
00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:40,120
Speaker 1: where people have moved basically since COVID started, and I

30
00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:44,800
Speaker 1: think it's incredibly telling. But I wanted to start with

31
00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:48,120
Speaker 1: a story that is very much a positive that I

32
00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:52,040
Speaker 1: bet you're not going to hear anywhere else probably in

33
00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:55,160
Speaker 1: media today, unless a lot of people listen to this

34
00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:57,320
Speaker 1: open and then they say, oh wow, this is a

35
00:01:57,320 --> 00:02:00,360
Speaker 1: big story. Now we're going to cover it. So we're

36
00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:02,560
Speaker 1: number one in Salt Lake City. I love the state

37
00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:05,240
Speaker 1: of Utah. I appreciate everybody out there listening to us

38
00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:09,720
Speaker 1: right now. It's a fabulous place. This weekend, the NBA

39
00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:13,840
Speaker 1: All Star Game is coming to Salt Lake City. Congratulations

40
00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:16,000
Speaker 1: to people in Utah getting to host a big event

41
00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:18,960
Speaker 1: like that where they love their jazz. It's the only

42
00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:22,560
Speaker 1: major pro sports franchise in the entire state of Utah.

43
00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:26,240
Speaker 1: What's interesting about this is there have been two bills

44
00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:30,400
Speaker 1: passed in the last year in Utah directly related to

45
00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:35,160
Speaker 1: transgender related issues. I agree with both of them. But

46
00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:38,919
Speaker 1: the state of Utah has passed a bill saying kids

47
00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:43,720
Speaker 1: in high school have to have to play against kids

48
00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:46,480
Speaker 1: on the birth certificate. In other words, if you are

49
00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:50,480
Speaker 1: born a boy in Utah, you compete against boys in

50
00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:53,840
Speaker 1: athletics for your entire high school career. If you are

51
00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:57,120
Speaker 1: born a girl, you compete against girl. This girls. This

52
00:02:57,200 --> 00:03:01,120
Speaker 1: shouldn't be wildly crazy, right. We have all sorts of

53
00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:05,400
Speaker 1: designations in sports, but it's designed to keep a boy

54
00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:08,639
Speaker 1: from deciding that he identifies as a girl, and then,

55
00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:11,880
Speaker 1: thanks to boys being bigger, stronger, and faster than girls,

56
00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:15,800
Speaker 1: that boy going and playing in a girl's high school sport, dominating,

57
00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:19,600
Speaker 1: potentially winning a state championship. I think it's an eminently

58
00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:23,840
Speaker 1: reasonable bill. I think every state in the United States

59
00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:27,440
Speaker 1: should have passed this same bill. Many have, but not

60
00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:32,560
Speaker 1: surprisingly many left wing blue states have not, but Utah has,

61
00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:35,600
Speaker 1: so I agree with that bill. It was somewhat controversial.

62
00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:39,160
Speaker 1: It got a lot of attention. Also, I agree with

63
00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:43,120
Speaker 1: this other bill that Utah recently passed. Utah recently passed

64
00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:45,720
Speaker 1: a bill that I believe every state should also pass

65
00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:51,320
Speaker 1: if they haven't already, banning gender transition surgery for minors.

66
00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:55,600
Speaker 1: This isn't really that radical of an idea. In many states.

67
00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:59,400
Speaker 1: For instance, you can't get a tattoo. If you can't

68
00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:02,440
Speaker 1: get a two why in the world, And when you're

69
00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:05,360
Speaker 1: under eighteen, why in the world should you be able to,

70
00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:09,400
Speaker 1: for instance, have your breast removed because you have decided

71
00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:11,160
Speaker 1: that you are no longer a girl and you are

72
00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:13,720
Speaker 1: now a boy. That is mutilation. In my opinion, it's

73
00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:17,719
Speaker 1: certainly child abuse. If after the age of eighteen you

74
00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:19,640
Speaker 1: decide that you want to do that, as an adult,

75
00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:22,960
Speaker 1: maybe you make that decision. I don't think it's a

76
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:26,600
Speaker 1: smart decision for young people to do, period, but that's

77
00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:30,080
Speaker 1: a choice that an adult can make. But banning that

78
00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:34,600
Speaker 1: sort of treatment for children doesn't seem to me ridiculous

79
00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:36,960
Speaker 1: at all. You shouldn't be able to get puberty blockers,

80
00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:40,119
Speaker 1: for instance, when you are fourteen years old, to try

81
00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:43,240
Speaker 1: and keep you from becoming a boy or a girl

82
00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:46,640
Speaker 1: as you go through puberty. There is much data out

83
00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:49,920
Speaker 1: there that suggest actually that if you get puberty blockers,

84
00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:53,479
Speaker 1: you are likely and later in life to have issue with,

85
00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:57,920
Speaker 1: for instance, brittle bones, because your bones as an adolescent

86
00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:01,280
Speaker 1: develop a tremendous amount of stro as you come through

87
00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:04,680
Speaker 1: puberty and become moved from a boy to a man,

88
00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:09,320
Speaker 1: girl to a woman. These are very reasonable, rational I

89
00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:12,599
Speaker 1: think bills that should be passed into every state in

90
00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:15,680
Speaker 1: the Union. So congratulations to Utah for getting it done.

91
00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:20,960
Speaker 1: What's interesting about this, however, is it wasn't very long

92
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:25,440
Speaker 1: ago that the NBA pulled its All Star Game, and

93
00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:28,440
Speaker 1: some of you will remember this, pulled its All Star

94
00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:31,920
Speaker 1: game out of the state of North Carolina, out of

95
00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:37,559
Speaker 1: the city of Charlotte. And they did it because North

96
00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:41,000
Speaker 1: Carolina had passed a bill that said you need to

97
00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:45,719
Speaker 1: use the bathroom of your gender. Now, how would you

98
00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:48,120
Speaker 1: enforce that bill? I wrote about it at the time.

99
00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:50,800
Speaker 1: It's not as if there is someone who is standing

100
00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:54,159
Speaker 1: outside of the bathroom doing genital checks to see whether

101
00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:57,520
Speaker 1: or not you're using the right bathroom. But the NBA

102
00:05:57,520 --> 00:06:02,320
Speaker 1: in twenty seventeen was so woke that they made the

103
00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:06,159
Speaker 1: decision to pull their All Star game out of Charlotte

104
00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:11,000
Speaker 1: over this, and they release this statement. While we recognize

105
00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:14,080
Speaker 1: the NBA cannot choose the law in every city, state,

106
00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:17,599
Speaker 1: and country in which we do business, we do not

107
00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:21,279
Speaker 1: believe we can successfully host our All Star festivities in

108
00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:24,880
Speaker 1: Charlotte in the climate created by the bill was called

109
00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:28,960
Speaker 1: HB two. They said that they would, as a result,

110
00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:33,000
Speaker 1: move the All Star Game to a new site back

111
00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:38,880
Speaker 1: in twenty seventeen, and there were all sorts of comments

112
00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:43,000
Speaker 1: that were made about what a brave action that was

113
00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:46,760
Speaker 1: to undertake by the NBA. The reason why I want

114
00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:51,440
Speaker 1: to bring this up is sometimes we don't count our victories,

115
00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:56,000
Speaker 1: and sometimes those victories don't even get an ounce of

116
00:06:56,160 --> 00:07:02,760
Speaker 1: media attention. I haven't seen anyone one writing and arguing

117
00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:05,440
Speaker 1: the NBA should pull its All Star Game out of

118
00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:09,120
Speaker 1: Salt Lake City over the two bills that were passed

119
00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:14,080
Speaker 1: in the state of Utah. And I would argue that

120
00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:18,680
Speaker 1: those two bills are far more extensive in terms of

121
00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:21,840
Speaker 1: their impact, certainly in the world of sports, since one

122
00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:26,040
Speaker 1: directly involved sports, than the bathroom bill in the first place.

123
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:32,280
Speaker 1: So what's going on here? Why in twenty seventeen was

124
00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:36,760
Speaker 1: the NBA so bill that exists in North Carolina? Remember

125
00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:39,600
Speaker 1: all that bill said was, Hey, you should use the

126
00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:42,880
Speaker 1: bathroom of your gender. If you're born a boy, go

127
00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:44,960
Speaker 1: to the boys room. You're born a girl, go to

128
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:47,720
Speaker 1: the girls room. Right, That's all it said. And there

129
00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:53,080
Speaker 1: was no mechanism really by which anybody was checking to see, oh,

130
00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:56,280
Speaker 1: what genitals do you have in order for you to

131
00:07:56,360 --> 00:08:02,800
Speaker 1: use the bathroom. So it was primarily just a statement of, hey,

132
00:08:02,840 --> 00:08:05,800
Speaker 1: we think gender is real. Right in the state of

133
00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:08,400
Speaker 1: North Carolina. That doesn't seem to me to be a

134
00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:11,520
Speaker 1: particularly offensive bill to be passed. It doesn't seem to

135
00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:15,200
Speaker 1: have some amazing amount of enforcement mechanism or anything like that.

136
00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:19,080
Speaker 1: Yet the NBA pulled it's All Star game. So what

137
00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:24,560
Speaker 1: does it say now about how much the NBA is

138
00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:30,040
Speaker 1: in default, not publicly but in quietly acknowledging that they

139
00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:34,200
Speaker 1: were totally wrong in that decision that they are showing

140
00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:37,080
Speaker 1: up in Salt Lake City in the same year were

141
00:08:37,160 --> 00:08:40,880
Speaker 1: two very restrictive bills that basically do the same thing,

142
00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:44,240
Speaker 1: if not more than, what was passed in North Carolina,

143
00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:47,760
Speaker 1: and they aren't even saying a word about it. They're

144
00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:51,480
Speaker 1: not protesting, they're not demanding that the bills be repealed.

145
00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:54,680
Speaker 1: They didn't threaten to pull the All Star Game out

146
00:08:54,679 --> 00:08:58,200
Speaker 1: of Utah over the fact that the bills might be passed.

147
00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:01,439
Speaker 1: No player to might college has spoken out about this

148
00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:05,920
Speaker 1: at all. No owner, no commissioner, no one in the

149
00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:09,840
Speaker 1: NBA is even mentioning the laws that were passed in

150
00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:12,800
Speaker 1: Salt Lake City. Now, again, I a hundred percent agree

151
00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:15,800
Speaker 1: with what Salt Lake City did, but don't mistake what's

152
00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:18,520
Speaker 1: going on here, because on Monday we had a conversation

153
00:09:18,559 --> 00:09:21,280
Speaker 1: where I said, look, what you have to recognize out

154
00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:23,400
Speaker 1: here is that many of you don't have an issue

155
00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:26,000
Speaker 1: with sports. You have an issue with the media that

156
00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:29,320
Speaker 1: covers sports and some of the executives that make decisions

157
00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:33,600
Speaker 1: associated with sports. Those people are woke. Most athletes, by

158
00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:37,480
Speaker 1: and large are not woke because sports are the opposite

159
00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:42,120
Speaker 1: of woke. It's a meritocracy. Best man or best woman wins.

160
00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:46,400
Speaker 1: It's highly competitive. There is no equity, there is no equality.

161
00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:48,760
Speaker 1: The goal in sports is to be better than the

162
00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:51,520
Speaker 1: other person, to beat the team or individual that you

163
00:09:51,559 --> 00:09:57,199
Speaker 1: compete against. And athletes understand that. And this is make

164
00:09:57,280 --> 00:10:00,800
Speaker 1: no mistake, this is a major win. In fact, it's

165
00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:04,760
Speaker 1: such a major win that there's not even any media

166
00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:08,120
Speaker 1: that I'm aware of that have even written about this,

167
00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:14,720
Speaker 1: not anybody in the entirety of the woke sports media.

168
00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:19,360
Speaker 1: They're all, i think, finally aware that the vast majority

169
00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:22,160
Speaker 1: of sports fans rejects this. And this is a default

170
00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:25,600
Speaker 1: acknowledgement for all of you listening in North Carolina that

171
00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:28,120
Speaker 1: the NBA got it wrong when they pulled their All

172
00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:31,079
Speaker 1: Star game out of Charlotte in the first place. Now,

173
00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:34,360
Speaker 1: part of this is hypocrisy, right. The NBA is fine

174
00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:37,720
Speaker 1: playing games in China, where they have actual concentration camps.

175
00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:39,960
Speaker 1: The NBA is fine going to the Middle East, where

176
00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:42,920
Speaker 1: you can be beheaded if you're gay, and playing games there.

177
00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:47,760
Speaker 1: So they're finally recognizing that as a global company, getting

178
00:10:47,760 --> 00:10:51,600
Speaker 1: involved in state law issues in a woke perspective is

179
00:10:51,640 --> 00:10:56,240
Speaker 1: awful for their brand and also extremely hypocritical. But it's

180
00:10:56,280 --> 00:11:02,320
Speaker 1: important sometimes to notice when we get these wins, the

181
00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:07,120
Speaker 1: media doesn't even acknowledge it. I bet every single one

182
00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:08,839
Speaker 1: of you, and we're number one in Salt Lake City?

183
00:11:09,400 --> 00:11:12,360
Speaker 1: Is this being covered in local Salt Lake City? I

184
00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:15,600
Speaker 1: know it's not being covered nationally. How many of you

185
00:11:15,720 --> 00:11:19,600
Speaker 1: even knew about this? How many of you were even

186
00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:22,760
Speaker 1: aware that the NBA is basically tucking its tail between

187
00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:25,880
Speaker 1: its legs and acknowledging that four or five years ago

188
00:11:25,920 --> 00:11:28,400
Speaker 1: they were completely wrong to have gone woke and pulled

189
00:11:28,440 --> 00:11:30,760
Speaker 1: their All Star game out of Charlotte because they're rolling

190
00:11:30,800 --> 00:11:33,760
Speaker 1: into Salt Lake City, which has more restrictive laws directly

191
00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:37,160
Speaker 1: related to sports on the transgender issue, and they ain't

192
00:11:37,160 --> 00:11:42,640
Speaker 1: even saying a word to anybody. Sometimes we think we

193
00:11:42,679 --> 00:11:46,760
Speaker 1: are losing because we don't take the time to recognize

194
00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:50,240
Speaker 1: when we win, because the media buy in large doesn't

195
00:11:50,280 --> 00:11:53,120
Speaker 1: tell us when we win, because that requires the media

196
00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:55,839
Speaker 1: acknowledging that they were wrong in the first place. This

197
00:11:55,960 --> 00:11:59,040
Speaker 1: is a big win, I would argue, it's a monstrous

198
00:11:59,080 --> 00:12:01,200
Speaker 1: win for those of us out there who have been

199
00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:04,360
Speaker 1: fighting back against woke sports for years and years. And

200
00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:07,760
Speaker 1: the odds are most of you have never even heard

201
00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:10,240
Speaker 1: about this story and didn't even know what was going on.

202
00:12:10,640 --> 00:12:13,080
Speaker 1: Because our wins don't get put on the front page

203
00:12:13,080 --> 00:12:15,959
Speaker 1: of the paper. Sometimes they get buried to the extent

204
00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:18,240
Speaker 1: that we don't even know they happen. Open phone lines

233
00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:44,160
Speaker 1: Rolling through the Friday edition of the program, we start

234
00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:46,960
Speaker 1: to fight battles. By the way, I don't know how

235
00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:49,080
Speaker 1: many of you saw this story. This is a fun one.

236
00:13:50,360 --> 00:13:54,720
Speaker 1: Tiger Woods playing at the Genesis Open out in out

237
00:13:54,760 --> 00:13:59,120
Speaker 1: in LA is playing against another golfer named Justin Thomas.

238
00:13:59,240 --> 00:14:01,800
Speaker 1: And I also don't know, by the way, how many

239
00:14:01,800 --> 00:14:04,160
Speaker 1: of you have seen this new Netflix show. I know

240
00:14:04,280 --> 00:14:07,600
Speaker 1: Netflix has been doing different sort of dives, deep dives

241
00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:11,400
Speaker 1: into sports leagues, a documentary style where they interview everybody.

242
00:14:11,440 --> 00:14:14,120
Speaker 1: They did the F one series. I'm not a huge

243
00:14:14,240 --> 00:14:17,120
Speaker 1: racing fan, but Buck has been talking about how awesome

244
00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:19,880
Speaker 1: the F one series was, and I know it's exploded

245
00:14:20,240 --> 00:14:22,320
Speaker 1: the amount of interest there is in F one. Well,

246
00:14:22,360 --> 00:14:26,800
Speaker 1: they're doing one now on the PGA and it's really

247
00:14:26,880 --> 00:14:29,600
Speaker 1: very well done. A lot of close up features on

248
00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:32,880
Speaker 1: different golfers, behind the scenes. The season on the road

249
00:14:32,920 --> 00:14:36,080
Speaker 1: with the PGA. Well, Tiger Woods obviously had a devastating

250
00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:41,080
Speaker 1: accident in LA just where he'd been nearly died. Frankly,

251
00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:43,640
Speaker 1: he's an incredible comeback. He's back out on the course

252
00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:47,960
Speaker 1: and on the ninth hole yesterday, he's playing against Justin Thomas.

253
00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:49,920
Speaker 1: Justin Thomas one of the best golfers in the world.

254
00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:54,240
Speaker 1: He's featured in this new PGA Netflix documentary and Tiger

255
00:14:54,280 --> 00:14:56,720
Speaker 1: Woods coming off of I think Tiger Woods is forty

256
00:14:56,840 --> 00:14:59,960
Speaker 1: seven years old now, coming off of a near death

257
00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:03,520
Speaker 1: the car accident experience. He's playing against Justin Thomas, who's

258
00:15:03,520 --> 00:15:06,080
Speaker 1: twenty seven, twenty eight years old. As we said earlier,

259
00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:10,520
Speaker 1: in his prime for Don Lemon out there. Don Lemon,

260
00:15:10,600 --> 00:15:14,440
Speaker 1: by the way, not on the CNN broadcast this morning,

261
00:15:14,480 --> 00:15:19,080
Speaker 1: evidently after saying Nicky Haley was not in her prime. Yesterday,

262
00:15:19,360 --> 00:15:22,160
Speaker 1: we're gonna be joined by Nicky Haley at one o'clock

263
00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:24,720
Speaker 1: here in about thirty minutes. Also, Marty McCarey's going to

264
00:15:24,760 --> 00:15:27,920
Speaker 1: be with us, who doctor from Johns Hopkins at one thirty.

265
00:15:27,960 --> 00:15:31,640
Speaker 1: That's coming up in the next hour. But Tiger Woods

266
00:15:31,680 --> 00:15:36,920
Speaker 1: out drives Justin Thomas and as he is walking down

267
00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:40,840
Speaker 1: the Fairway. Forty seven year old Tiger Woods, coming off

268
00:15:40,880 --> 00:15:49,280
Speaker 1: of a devastating injury, slyly slips Justin Thomas a tampon,

269
00:15:50,400 --> 00:15:54,600
Speaker 1: making a joke about how in the world, Justin Thomas,

270
00:15:54,640 --> 00:15:58,160
Speaker 1: could you not be able to outdrive me. Here's a

271
00:15:58,240 --> 00:16:02,200
Speaker 1: tampon for you. And I think it's really funny. And

272
00:16:02,280 --> 00:16:04,720
Speaker 1: anybody who has ever been out on a golf course,

273
00:16:05,280 --> 00:16:08,600
Speaker 1: especially in a group of men, knows that the golf

274
00:16:08,640 --> 00:16:12,880
Speaker 1: course is one a really fun place, but it is

275
00:16:12,880 --> 00:16:15,440
Speaker 1: a live locker room material going on out on the

276
00:16:15,440 --> 00:16:19,560
Speaker 1: golf course on a day to day basis, And predictably,

277
00:16:20,520 --> 00:16:24,120
Speaker 1: many in the woke sports media are outraged. But I

278
00:16:24,240 --> 00:16:29,280
Speaker 1: just saw this headline from USA Today reacting to what

279
00:16:29,360 --> 00:16:35,480
Speaker 1: Tiger Woods did. According to Christine Brennan Tiger, this is

280
00:16:35,480 --> 00:16:40,080
Speaker 1: a headline from USA Today Sports, Tiger Woods's tampon stunt

281
00:16:40,320 --> 00:16:44,400
Speaker 1: was quote a bizarre thing for a girl dad to do.

282
00:16:45,280 --> 00:16:49,280
Speaker 1: Did Woods think of how demeaning it would look for

283
00:16:49,320 --> 00:16:54,160
Speaker 1: the athletic daughter he says he loves. That's literally the

284
00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:58,520
Speaker 1: headline of USA Today Sports. Now, what I would point

285
00:16:58,520 --> 00:17:01,560
Speaker 1: out here is, first of all, there are tampons in

286
00:17:01,840 --> 00:17:04,880
Speaker 1: a lot of different men's locker rooms. Now, So how

287
00:17:04,880 --> 00:17:09,000
Speaker 1: does Christine Brennan know that Justin Thomas doesn't identify as

288
00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:11,240
Speaker 1: a woman and that he might have actually needed a

289
00:17:11,240 --> 00:17:14,080
Speaker 1: tampon during the round today? I mean, it seems very

290
00:17:14,119 --> 00:17:18,480
Speaker 1: sexist of her to identify the gender of Justin Thomas

291
00:17:18,520 --> 00:17:23,280
Speaker 1: without him having addressed it. Secondly, men can hit the

292
00:17:23,280 --> 00:17:27,119
Speaker 1: golf ball farther than women. That's the joke. This is

293
00:17:27,160 --> 00:17:29,320
Speaker 1: not something like there are some women who can out

294
00:17:29,400 --> 00:17:33,359
Speaker 1: drive men. The red teas exist for a reason. The

295
00:17:33,480 --> 00:17:36,240
Speaker 1: red teas exist because men are bigger, stronger, and faster

296
00:17:36,359 --> 00:17:40,640
Speaker 1: than women. So when a man is out driven by

297
00:17:40,800 --> 00:17:43,680
Speaker 1: a woman, then it's probably a sign one that the

298
00:17:43,720 --> 00:17:46,080
Speaker 1: woman's really good, also that the man's not very good.

299
00:17:47,800 --> 00:17:51,040
Speaker 1: So Tiger Woods is mocking Justin Thomas for being out

300
00:17:51,119 --> 00:17:55,440
Speaker 1: driven by him. Way to old. Christine Brennan finds out

301
00:17:55,440 --> 00:17:58,000
Speaker 1: what happens if a man doesn't drive the ball past

302
00:17:58,040 --> 00:18:01,680
Speaker 1: the women's teas. She wants to be outraged. Look out,

303
00:18:02,720 --> 00:18:05,520
Speaker 1: I gotta tell you. As we roll into this Friday

304
00:18:05,680 --> 00:18:10,040
Speaker 1: edition of the program, Hillsdale College is doing an incredible job.

305
00:18:10,080 --> 00:18:12,520
Speaker 1: They are making sure that our freedoms are defended. And

306
00:18:12,560 --> 00:18:15,080
Speaker 1: they've been at this since they're founding in eighteen forty four.

307
00:18:15,359 --> 00:18:17,359
Speaker 1: And one way they do it both on the campus

308
00:18:17,359 --> 00:18:20,840
Speaker 1: and off is they share their education with people everywhere

309
00:18:20,920 --> 00:18:23,719
Speaker 1: K through twelve education. They're trying to help kids in

310
00:18:23,800 --> 00:18:26,960
Speaker 1: schools and they want to make sure that you are

00:18:53,160 --> 00:18:57,440
Speaker 1: dot com. Welcome back in Clay, Travis Buck Sexton Show.

320
00:18:57,440 --> 00:19:01,119
Speaker 1: Appreciate all of you hanging out with us. Mentioned what

321
00:19:01,320 --> 00:19:04,720
Speaker 1: was going on in East Palestine quite a lot Ohio.

322
00:19:05,200 --> 00:19:09,000
Speaker 1: In the train derailment, we talked with the Congressman Bill Johnson,

323
00:19:09,040 --> 00:19:13,480
Speaker 1: who represents East Palestine. He made it clear that Mayor

324
00:19:13,560 --> 00:19:16,080
Speaker 1: Pete had not reached out to him and that he

325
00:19:16,119 --> 00:19:18,320
Speaker 1: thought that was a failure of leadership, that that had

326
00:19:18,359 --> 00:19:23,679
Speaker 1: not occurred, the Transportation Secretary, and so there continues to

327
00:19:23,760 --> 00:19:26,520
Speaker 1: be fallout. Yesterday, after we finished the show, I was

328
00:19:26,560 --> 00:19:29,399
Speaker 1: watching some videos that JD Vance, who was on was

329
00:19:29,480 --> 00:19:32,359
Speaker 1: JD on this week? I think he was or last week,

330
00:19:32,760 --> 00:19:35,240
Speaker 1: has been with us quite a lot of late the news.

331
00:19:35,240 --> 00:19:40,080
Speaker 1: Senator from Ohio, and if you dive in and check

332
00:19:40,119 --> 00:19:43,440
Speaker 1: out what is going on, it's very strange the way

333
00:19:43,440 --> 00:19:46,560
Speaker 1: the Biden administration is responding to this train derailment and

334
00:19:46,680 --> 00:19:51,399
Speaker 1: the resulting pollution that has occurred there. In fact, here's

335
00:19:51,400 --> 00:19:56,280
Speaker 1: Transportation Secretary Mayor Pete Buddha Gedge downplaying the derailment and

336
00:19:56,400 --> 00:20:00,639
Speaker 1: what has happened in Ohio. Listen, well, this horrible situation

337
00:20:01,040 --> 00:20:04,360
Speaker 1: has gotten a particularly high amount of attention. There are

338
00:20:04,440 --> 00:20:11,600
Speaker 1: roughly one thousand cases a year of a train derailing. Yeah, thanks, thanks,

339
00:20:11,600 --> 00:20:16,119
Speaker 1: Mayor Pete. And so the downplay they won't give FEMA assistance.

340
00:20:16,840 --> 00:20:20,600
Speaker 1: They are refusing to give every bit of help that

341
00:20:20,680 --> 00:20:23,560
Speaker 1: they could on behalf of the federal government. This comes,

342
00:20:23,560 --> 00:20:26,920
Speaker 1: of course, while we're sending one hundred billion dollars to Ukraine.

343
00:20:27,359 --> 00:20:29,719
Speaker 1: You would think maybe we could help out Ohio and

344
00:20:29,760 --> 00:20:32,720
Speaker 1: make sure that the drinking water that goes into the

345
00:20:32,760 --> 00:20:36,360
Speaker 1: Ohio River and then spreads across the entire valley there

346
00:20:36,359 --> 00:20:39,760
Speaker 1: in the watershed in general is safe and not an issue.

347
00:20:40,480 --> 00:20:44,440
Speaker 1: This is jd Vance testing water in a creek and

348
00:20:44,800 --> 00:20:47,760
Speaker 1: we'll put this video up on Clay and Buck dot

349
00:20:47,840 --> 00:20:50,840
Speaker 1: com so you can see it, because part of this

350
00:20:50,920 --> 00:20:53,399
Speaker 1: is something that you need to see visually. But he

351
00:20:53,440 --> 00:20:57,359
Speaker 1: basically has a walking stick and he's out in a

352
00:20:57,400 --> 00:21:01,160
Speaker 1: little creek bed and he walks out and just stirs

353
00:21:01,240 --> 00:21:04,680
Speaker 1: the water, and you can immediately see the oil that

354
00:21:04,800 --> 00:21:08,399
Speaker 1: rises up as soon as he stirs this water. So

355
00:21:08,440 --> 00:21:10,840
Speaker 1: I'm trying to describe this video to you, but I

356
00:21:10,920 --> 00:21:13,840
Speaker 1: want you to play it so you can hear Ohio's

357
00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:17,480
Speaker 1: newest Senator, JD Vance as he's out doing his own

358
00:21:17,600 --> 00:21:21,560
Speaker 1: investigation surrounding East Palestine. I'm here at Leslie Run and

359
00:21:21,600 --> 00:21:24,440
Speaker 1: they're dead worms and dead fish all throughout this water.

360
00:21:24,880 --> 00:21:27,600
Speaker 1: So something I just discovered is that if you scrape

361
00:21:27,720 --> 00:21:30,960
Speaker 1: the creek bed, it's like chemical is coming out of

362
00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:34,159
Speaker 1: the ground. Can he shows can come here and let

363
00:21:34,200 --> 00:21:35,639
Speaker 1: me just show this to people. I don't look at

364
00:21:35,640 --> 00:21:39,040
Speaker 1: them see this in the the camera, but watch this. Just

365
00:21:39,240 --> 00:21:43,320
Speaker 1: see that chemical pop out of the Creek. This is disgusting,

366
00:21:43,960 --> 00:21:47,440
Speaker 1: and the fact that we have not cleaned up the

367
00:21:48,320 --> 00:21:51,119
Speaker 1: train crash, the fact that these chemicals are still seeping

368
00:21:51,160 --> 00:21:53,280
Speaker 1: in the ground is an insult to the people who

369
00:21:53,280 --> 00:21:56,040
Speaker 1: live in East Palatine. Do not forget these people. We've

370
00:21:56,080 --> 00:21:58,040
Speaker 1: got to keep applying pressure. That's how we're gonna fix

371
00:21:58,080 --> 00:22:01,640
Speaker 1: this problem. Thank you. Yeah, and look, here's the challenge

372
00:22:01,680 --> 00:22:04,440
Speaker 1: I think in general. We talked about this yesterday when

373
00:22:04,520 --> 00:22:06,920
Speaker 1: Joe Biden came out, and it looks like, by the way,

374
00:22:06,960 --> 00:22:12,480
Speaker 1: we might have shot down some random hobbyist balloons. I mean,

375
00:22:12,520 --> 00:22:15,160
Speaker 1: I can't believe I have to say this weather balloons

376
00:22:15,200 --> 00:22:18,320
Speaker 1: that they had sent up into the sky. I'll share

377
00:22:18,320 --> 00:22:20,159
Speaker 1: some of those details with you in the next segment

378
00:22:20,200 --> 00:22:24,560
Speaker 1: because it's just so laughably absurd. But when you know

379
00:22:25,560 --> 00:22:29,960
Speaker 1: that the Biden administration and the quote unquote experts have

380
00:22:30,160 --> 00:22:34,680
Speaker 1: been wrong on so many different things, you can't trust

381
00:22:34,760 --> 00:22:38,040
Speaker 1: them anymore. And I think that is the biggest issue

382
00:22:38,520 --> 00:22:42,960
Speaker 1: going forward with our government is why would we trust

383
00:22:43,359 --> 00:22:47,600
Speaker 1: that they are actually being honest with us When every

384
00:22:47,640 --> 00:22:51,520
Speaker 1: single one of you out there has heard doctor Fauci

385
00:22:51,600 --> 00:22:55,560
Speaker 1: and all of his acolytes caught time after time in

386
00:22:55,760 --> 00:23:01,240
Speaker 1: lie after lie. So even for the EPA when they

387
00:23:01,320 --> 00:23:06,240
Speaker 1: have this, uh, this EPA administrator Michael Reagan visiting East

388
00:23:06,280 --> 00:23:10,840
Speaker 1: Palestine and he tells residence to trust the science. I'm

389
00:23:10,840 --> 00:23:13,840
Speaker 1: not sure there's anything I could be told that would

390
00:23:13,840 --> 00:23:18,080
Speaker 1: make me immediately question things more than trust the science.

391
00:23:18,240 --> 00:23:21,280
Speaker 1: After the past several years, here's cut four. I don't

392
00:23:21,280 --> 00:23:25,480
Speaker 1: blame the Ohio residence for being extremely uncomfortable with what's

393
00:23:25,480 --> 00:23:33,679
Speaker 1: going on there the other children to drink the water children.

394
00:23:35,680 --> 00:23:38,640
Speaker 1: If those homes have been tested by the state and

395
00:23:38,800 --> 00:23:41,080
Speaker 1: given a clean bill of health, yes, as a father,

396
00:23:41,520 --> 00:23:44,800
Speaker 1: I trust the science. I trust the methodology that this

397
00:23:44,880 --> 00:23:47,920
Speaker 1: state is using, and as a parent I would But

398
00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:51,000
Speaker 1: if those homes haven't tested, or if they're on private

399
00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:56,280
Speaker 1: well water, I would advise that they get those homes tested. Yeah.

400
00:23:56,359 --> 00:24:00,560
Speaker 1: I don't frankly trust the science, and I think the

401
00:24:00,640 --> 00:24:04,200
Speaker 1: vast majority of you out there don't trust the science either.

402
00:24:05,119 --> 00:24:09,800
Speaker 1: And what's really going on here? Why is the Biden

403
00:24:09,840 --> 00:24:16,560
Speaker 1: administration so quick to visit every disaster when it's politically expedient,

404
00:24:17,560 --> 00:24:21,040
Speaker 1: but when it's in Ohio and these are people who

405
00:24:21,080 --> 00:24:26,040
Speaker 1: did not vote for overwhelmingly Joe Biden, and they aren't Democrats.

406
00:24:27,359 --> 00:24:31,320
Speaker 1: Biden doesn't care, he doesn't have any interest at all

407
00:24:31,560 --> 00:24:36,320
Speaker 1: in their challenges. And this is important because coming up

408
00:24:36,359 --> 00:24:39,959
Speaker 1: in twenty four, Biden's gonna try to walk around saying, Oh,

409
00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:44,160
Speaker 1: I'm Scranton, Joe. Nobody understands the problems of the white

410
00:24:44,160 --> 00:24:48,760
Speaker 1: working class better than me. All you Midwestern swing voters

411
00:24:48,800 --> 00:24:52,760
Speaker 1: out there in Pennsylvania and Michigan and Wisconsin and Ohio,

412
00:24:53,680 --> 00:24:57,679
Speaker 1: all you big ten fans, I know exactly what you

413
00:24:57,840 --> 00:25:01,440
Speaker 1: feel like. I'm just like I grew up in scrant

414
00:25:01,600 --> 00:25:05,800
Speaker 1: sitting around a kitchen table. Why don't you care about

415
00:25:05,800 --> 00:25:10,159
Speaker 1: those people? Then? These are the people, Joe Biden, that

416
00:25:10,200 --> 00:25:15,920
Speaker 1: you claim to care about so much. People in the

417
00:25:15,960 --> 00:25:22,440
Speaker 1: industrial heartland, backbone of our country in the Midwest, dealing

418
00:25:22,440 --> 00:25:26,400
Speaker 1: with a toxic spill, and you can't even be bothered

419
00:25:26,440 --> 00:25:30,720
Speaker 1: to send your transportation secretary there may or Pete can't

420
00:25:30,720 --> 00:25:32,720
Speaker 1: even be bothered to pick up the phone and make

421
00:25:32,720 --> 00:25:37,400
Speaker 1: a phone call to the congressman that represents that district.

422
00:25:39,080 --> 00:25:40,840
Speaker 1: And when he's asked about it, he doesn't put out

423
00:25:40,880 --> 00:25:42,960
Speaker 1: any statement. When he's asked about it, he says, well,

424
00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:47,680
Speaker 1: we have like a thousand trained derailments every year minimizing

425
00:25:48,080 --> 00:25:51,920
Speaker 1: what exactly is going on. Look, I'm not an expert, certainly,

426
00:25:52,520 --> 00:25:54,119
Speaker 1: so I'm not telling you to trust me based on

427
00:25:54,160 --> 00:25:56,920
Speaker 1: the fact that I'm an expert. But I can see

428
00:25:56,960 --> 00:26:01,359
Speaker 1: that video. And when JD. Van stirs the creek bed

429
00:26:01,960 --> 00:26:05,840
Speaker 1: and oil residue comes up immediately in the creek bed,

430
00:26:07,040 --> 00:26:11,800
Speaker 1: that doesn't seem very safe to me. I wouldn't want

431
00:26:11,880 --> 00:26:14,480
Speaker 1: my kid bathing in that. I wouldn't want my kid

432
00:26:14,600 --> 00:26:18,160
Speaker 1: drinking that. And when you tell me to trust the science,

433
00:26:18,440 --> 00:26:21,400
Speaker 1: I actually want to run in the exact opposite direction,

434
00:26:21,800 --> 00:26:24,920
Speaker 1: and I bet a lot of you do as well.

435
00:26:25,560 --> 00:26:27,720
Speaker 1: We come back again. Nicky Haley going to join us

436
00:26:27,720 --> 00:26:31,600
Speaker 1: stop in the next hour. I want to discuss The

437
00:26:31,600 --> 00:26:36,280
Speaker 1: New York Times defending JK. Rowling, the author of the

438
00:26:36,320 --> 00:26:39,400
Speaker 1: Harry Potter series. I saw it this morning and I'm

439
00:26:39,440 --> 00:26:43,240
Speaker 1: not gonna lie. I was stunned beyond belief. Talked about

440
00:26:43,240 --> 00:26:46,440
Speaker 1: wins to start off the show. Is this another wind?

441
00:26:47,160 --> 00:26:49,520
Speaker 1: Is the New York Times actually acknowledging that men have

442
00:26:49,600 --> 00:26:54,480
Speaker 1: penises and women have vaginas chata? Basically it's crazy to say,

443
00:26:54,480 --> 00:26:59,000
Speaker 1: but that basically qualifies as earth shattering news given what

444
00:27:00,040 --> 00:27:02,760
Speaker 1: the New York Times has been running out on a

445
00:27:02,840 --> 00:27:06,480
Speaker 1: regular basis over the past several years. In fact, it's

446
00:27:06,520 --> 00:27:10,280
Speaker 1: created a huge uproar we will discuss next. In the meantime,

447
00:27:10,560 --> 00:27:13,520
Speaker 1: LifeLock by Norton provides you and me with something essential

448
00:27:13,560 --> 00:27:17,760
Speaker 1: in this digital age, online identity theft protection. Stop and

449
00:27:17,800 --> 00:27:19,520
Speaker 1: think about it for a moment. How many times you

450
00:27:19,680 --> 00:27:23,960
Speaker 1: enter your name, password, confidential information, credit cards. Now ask

451
00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:27,639
Speaker 1: yourself if you're just blindly trusting every entity you share

452
00:27:27,920 --> 00:27:31,280
Speaker 1: that that information won't be lost, that it won't disappear,

453
00:27:31,359 --> 00:27:34,000
Speaker 1: that it won't be stolen. A lot of people out

454
00:27:34,040 --> 00:27:38,399
Speaker 1: there are, maybe if they're not already certainly vulnerable to

455
00:27:38,480 --> 00:27:41,479
Speaker 1: becoming victims of identity theft. Now that's why you need

456
00:27:41,520 --> 00:27:44,640
Speaker 1: LifeLock by Norton. Remember, no one can prevent all identity

Speaker 1: Welcome back in Clay Travis buck Sex didn't show Let's

464
00:28:10,119 --> 00:28:12,280
Speaker 1: save JK. Rowling because I wanted to make sure that

465
00:28:12,320 --> 00:28:15,040
Speaker 1: I mentioned this in the first hour. You know, yesterday

466
00:28:15,119 --> 00:28:18,080
Speaker 1: Joe Biden came out and we carried him live and

467
00:28:18,240 --> 00:28:21,480
Speaker 1: he was discussing what the three objects that were shot

468
00:28:21,560 --> 00:28:25,080
Speaker 1: down might have been and he basically said, yeah, we

469
00:28:25,080 --> 00:28:27,639
Speaker 1: don't think they were Chinese. It sounds like they weren't

470
00:28:27,680 --> 00:28:31,480
Speaker 1: really a threat. And I saw this story up yesterday

471
00:28:32,359 --> 00:28:34,679
Speaker 1: and this is I can't believe. This is from Aviation

472
00:28:34,760 --> 00:28:40,480
Speaker 1: Week Hobby clubs missing balloon feared shot down by United

473
00:28:40,480 --> 00:28:45,520
Speaker 1: States Air Force and this is really crazy. I'm reading

474
00:28:45,560 --> 00:28:48,760
Speaker 1: directly from this article. What did your commander in chief

475
00:28:48,840 --> 00:28:52,520
Speaker 1: deem such a threat that we had to scramble jets

476
00:28:53,040 --> 00:28:56,160
Speaker 1: and fire four hundred thousand dollars missiles to take down

477
00:28:57,480 --> 00:29:03,000
Speaker 1: a small globe trotting balloon group declared this is an

478
00:29:03,000 --> 00:29:07,560
Speaker 1: Illinois based hobbyist club. They believe that one of the

479
00:29:07,800 --> 00:29:13,400
Speaker 1: three objects shot down may have been theirs. They are

480
00:29:13,640 --> 00:29:19,440
Speaker 1: the Northern Illinois Bottle Cap Balloon Brigade. I can't believe

481
00:29:19,480 --> 00:29:23,360
Speaker 1: that this is this is potentially real. The club is

482
00:29:23,400 --> 00:29:27,120
Speaker 1: the Northern Illinois Bottle Cap Balloon Brigade. This may be

483
00:29:27,240 --> 00:29:29,720
Speaker 1: what we spent four hundred thousand dollars to shoot down.

484
00:29:30,840 --> 00:29:35,680
Speaker 1: They say there is circumstantial evidence the club's silver coated

485
00:29:35,880 --> 00:29:39,400
Speaker 1: party style Pico balloon. I don't know what any of

486
00:29:39,440 --> 00:29:43,120
Speaker 1: that means. By the way, reported its last position on

487
00:29:43,240 --> 00:29:47,880
Speaker 1: February tenth, at thirty eight thousand, nine hundred and ten

488
00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:52,440
Speaker 1: feet off the west coast of Alaska, and a popular

489
00:29:52,560 --> 00:29:58,640
Speaker 1: forecasting tool projected the cylindrically shaped object would be floating

490
00:29:58,840 --> 00:30:02,840
Speaker 1: high over the s central part of Alaska's Yukon Territory

491
00:30:03,000 --> 00:30:08,360
Speaker 1: on February eleventh. That's the same day that we using

492
00:30:08,360 --> 00:30:12,560
Speaker 1: an F twenty two, shot down an unidentified object of

493
00:30:12,600 --> 00:30:18,520
Speaker 1: a similar description and altitude in the same area. They

494
00:30:18,600 --> 00:30:24,720
Speaker 1: also in this ballooning community, they use ham radio and

495
00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:31,280
Speaker 1: high altitude ballooning into a relatively affordable hobby. They have

496
00:30:31,440 --> 00:30:34,000
Speaker 1: reached that this is so crazy. This is a direct quote.

497
00:30:34,560 --> 00:30:39,320
Speaker 1: I tried contacting our military and the FBI and just

498
00:30:39,440 --> 00:30:43,440
Speaker 1: got the runaround to try to enlighten them on what

499
00:30:43,520 --> 00:30:47,000
Speaker 1: a lot of these things probably are. And they're going

500
00:30:47,040 --> 00:30:50,200
Speaker 1: to look not too intelligent to be shooting them down,

501
00:30:51,000 --> 00:30:56,800
Speaker 1: said Ron Meadows, the founder of Scientific Balloon Solutions, a

502
00:30:56,840 --> 00:31:03,160
Speaker 1: Silicon Valley company that makes purpose built Pico balloons for hobbyist, educators,

503
00:31:03,200 --> 00:31:09,840
Speaker 1: and scientists. These balloons, wait for it, cost between twelve

504
00:31:10,080 --> 00:31:14,480
Speaker 1: and one hundred and eighty dollars each. We may have

505
00:31:14,640 --> 00:31:17,800
Speaker 1: shot down a twelve dollars balloon with a four hundred

506
00:31:17,880 --> 00:31:23,320
Speaker 1: thousand dollars missile. I'm guessing they were Pico balloons. Set

507
00:31:23,360 --> 00:31:26,880
Speaker 1: a retired FedEx engineer and the co host of the

508
00:31:26,920 --> 00:31:32,240
Speaker 1: Amateur Radio Roundtable show. This guy currently has three Pico

509
00:31:32,320 --> 00:31:39,320
Speaker 1: balloons in flight in the Northern and Southern hemispheres, and

510
00:31:39,720 --> 00:31:45,120
Speaker 1: when this Aviation Week group contacted the FBI to ask

511
00:31:45,200 --> 00:31:49,880
Speaker 1: them about whether it might be these balloons, the FBI

512
00:31:50,040 --> 00:31:55,080
Speaker 1: and NORAD said they have no updates. So these Pico

513
00:31:55,160 --> 00:31:59,360
Speaker 1: balloons are I've never heard of them before, and some

514
00:31:59,400 --> 00:32:02,160
Speaker 1: of you may be. If you're an expert in Pico balloons,

515
00:32:02,600 --> 00:32:04,920
Speaker 1: call into the show and explain whether or not you

516
00:32:05,040 --> 00:32:08,640
Speaker 1: buy into Oh yeah, this could make sense as to

517
00:32:08,680 --> 00:32:13,600
Speaker 1: what we are shooting down. But they literally can cost

518
00:32:13,680 --> 00:32:18,200
Speaker 1: twelve dollars and they can go high altitudes. And this

519
00:32:18,360 --> 00:32:21,760
Speaker 1: group is nervous about the negative attention they're now getting.

520
00:32:22,480 --> 00:32:26,200
Speaker 1: These Pico balloons weigh less than six pounds. They're exhibt

521
00:32:26,280 --> 00:32:31,520
Speaker 1: from most FAA airspace restrictions, and they what is a

522
00:32:31,560 --> 00:32:34,960
Speaker 1: pico balloon. I've never heard of this before. They're typically

523
00:32:35,000 --> 00:32:38,680
Speaker 1: about three feet in diameter, and then as they ascend,

524
00:32:38,840 --> 00:32:41,080
Speaker 1: they go all the way up to twenty to fifty

525
00:32:41,160 --> 00:32:45,600
Speaker 1: thousand feet and they keep track of them. The owners

526
00:32:45,680 --> 00:32:51,160
Speaker 1: do through HF and VHF UHF radio links and they

527
00:32:51,200 --> 00:32:55,680
Speaker 1: have small GPS tracking devices attached as well, and the

528
00:32:55,760 --> 00:32:59,480
Speaker 1: balloon will broadcast its position to let you know how

529
00:32:59,520 --> 00:33:03,680
Speaker 1: exactly they are, how they are moving. This author, by

530
00:33:03,680 --> 00:33:08,560
Speaker 1: the way, Steve Tremble covers military aviation missiles in space

531
00:33:08,640 --> 00:33:12,680
Speaker 1: for Aviation Week that I'm reading from right now. But

532
00:33:12,920 --> 00:33:16,640
Speaker 1: given where we are, it feels like this might well

533
00:33:16,760 --> 00:33:20,640
Speaker 1: be what occurred, and that the Biden administration was so

534
00:33:20,720 --> 00:33:24,840
Speaker 1: embarrassed by the Chinese spy balloon coming into our country

535
00:33:24,920 --> 00:33:29,400
Speaker 1: and traversing it that they updated their radar in an

536
00:33:29,440 --> 00:33:32,920
Speaker 1: aggressive way, so that maybe they started to pick up

537
00:33:33,000 --> 00:33:37,120
Speaker 1: some of these hobbyist balloons and then they scrambled their

538
00:33:37,200 --> 00:33:40,840
Speaker 1: jets and went out and shot them down. This also

539
00:33:40,960 --> 00:33:45,560
Speaker 1: would tie in with Okay, why would they stop because

540
00:33:45,640 --> 00:33:49,200
Speaker 1: probably they recovered some of the materials here, and they

541
00:33:49,240 --> 00:33:52,520
Speaker 1: were like, we just shot down a twelve dollars balloon

542
00:33:53,280 --> 00:33:58,040
Speaker 1: that some hobbyist in Ohio put into the sky. And

543
00:33:58,080 --> 00:34:01,280
Speaker 1: that would also explain why they're not telling you what

544
00:34:01,360 --> 00:34:06,600
Speaker 1: these objects are, because it's so humiliating to the Biden

545
00:34:06,640 --> 00:34:10,880
Speaker 1: administration that we used a four hundred thousand dollar missile

546
00:34:11,200 --> 00:34:15,320
Speaker 1: and that we scrambled jets to shoot down twelve dollars

547
00:34:15,360 --> 00:34:17,759
Speaker 1: balloons that were set up from hobbyists to see how

548
00:34:17,760 --> 00:34:23,240
Speaker 1: wind currents work. Yeah, that's I mean, if you start

549
00:34:23,280 --> 00:34:26,640
Speaker 1: to piece all this together, why are they being so circumspect?

550
00:34:27,280 --> 00:34:30,080
Speaker 1: Why are they not telling us very many details about this?

551
00:34:30,960 --> 00:34:33,440
Speaker 1: Why are they claiming that it's so hard to recover

552
00:34:33,560 --> 00:34:37,480
Speaker 1: these things? What one I would bet that I would

553
00:34:37,560 --> 00:34:41,080
Speaker 1: hope that a four hundred thousand dollars missile would probably

554
00:34:41,120 --> 00:34:44,439
Speaker 1: obliterate a twelve dollars balloon just tossing it out there.

555
00:34:45,360 --> 00:34:48,640
Speaker 1: And how humiliating would it be after all of this

556
00:34:48,760 --> 00:34:52,239
Speaker 1: attention for the Biden administration to have to come back

557
00:34:52,239 --> 00:34:54,840
Speaker 1: out and say, yeah, well, yeah, it's definitely not a

558
00:34:55,000 --> 00:34:59,080
Speaker 1: Chinese origin, No, of course not. It's just some hobbyists

559
00:34:59,080 --> 00:35:01,319
Speaker 1: in the United States two decided to send their twelve

560
00:35:01,320 --> 00:35:06,440
Speaker 1: dollars balloons into in the fifty thousand altitude fifty thousand

561
00:35:06,480 --> 00:35:09,840
Speaker 1: feet altitude, and it's not tracked by the FAA, So

562
00:35:09,960 --> 00:35:12,239
Speaker 1: if it showed up on radar, you're thinking, oh, this

563
00:35:12,440 --> 00:35:15,279
Speaker 1: is maybe a Chinese spy balloon, because you're embarrassed at

564
00:35:15,280 --> 00:35:17,640
Speaker 1: the way you responded to the last Chinese spy balloon.

565
00:35:18,239 --> 00:35:21,440
Speaker 1: But in reality, it's just hobbyist balloons. If you know

566
00:35:21,520 --> 00:35:23,279
Speaker 1: about this, let me know. You can call us. Eight

567
00:35:23,440 --> 00:35:26,600
Speaker 1: hundred two A two two eight A two. Producer Ali said,

568
00:35:26,600 --> 00:35:28,279
Speaker 1: the dues are about to go up a lot on

569
00:35:29,239 --> 00:35:32,520
Speaker 1: the aviation groups. And if you're an expert in these

570
00:35:32,600 --> 00:35:34,880
Speaker 1: Pico balloons, I would actually love to hear from you.

571
00:35:35,040 --> 00:35:38,920
Speaker 1: Do you buy into this as a theory for what

572
00:35:39,200 --> 00:35:41,880
Speaker 1: might have occurred in terms of the Biden administration shooting

573
00:35:41,920 --> 00:35:44,200
Speaker 1: these down? All right, we come back next. Now, we

574
00:35:44,239 --> 00:35:45,640
Speaker 1: got a couple of guests for you. We're gonna be

575
00:35:45,719 --> 00:35:48,400
Speaker 1: joined by Nicky Haley. She announced just a couple of

576
00:35:48,480 --> 00:35:50,759
Speaker 1: days ago officially that she is running for president of

577
00:35:50,800 --> 00:35:54,280
Speaker 1: the United States. She also was attacked as being outside

578
00:35:54,280 --> 00:35:56,360
Speaker 1: of her prime by Don Lemon, who was not on

579
00:35:56,440 --> 00:35:58,920
Speaker 1: the air. I don't believe CNN this morning. What does

580
00:35:59,000 --> 00:36:01,040
Speaker 1: Nicky Haley think about all that? What does she think

581
00:36:01,040 --> 00:36:04,160
Speaker 1: about this race? And what if she heard, if anything,

582
00:36:04,200 --> 00:36:07,359
Speaker 1: from Donald Trump since she officially entered this race as

583
00:36:07,400 --> 00:36:10,239
Speaker 1: a former member of his administration, how will all that

584
00:36:10,360 --> 00:36:13,920
Speaker 1: play out? Plus, doctor Marty McCarry is going to join us.

585
00:36:13,960 --> 00:36:15,560
Speaker 1: We've been talking about the fact that there is a

586
00:36:15,680 --> 00:36:19,399
Speaker 1: thirty percent increase in heart attack debts for individuals age

587
00:36:19,440 --> 00:36:23,279
Speaker 1: twenty five to forty four. Does doctor McCarey believe that

588
00:36:23,400 --> 00:36:27,160
Speaker 1: is connected at all to the COVID shot? When, if ever,

589
00:36:27,360 --> 00:36:30,200
Speaker 1: will we get official news about whether there is any

590
00:36:30,239 --> 00:36:33,880
Speaker 1: connection there. We will discuss all of that and more. This,

591
00:36:34,160 --> 00:36:36,680
Speaker 1: of course, is the Friday edition of The Clay Travis

592
00:36:36,760 --> 00:36:38,919
Speaker 1: and Buck Sexton Show. We appreciate all of you hanging

593
00:36:38,960 --> 00:36:41,880
Speaker 1: out with us. Hope you are having fantastic Friday's up

594
00:36:41,960 --> 00:36:45,000
Speaker 1: next former South Carolina Governor Nicky Haley. She's running for

595
00:36:45,040 --> 00:36:45,360
Speaker 1: president
