In hour 3 of the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show, the hosts cover a wide array of topics, starting with a discussion on Trump's latest move to potentially tax Harvard University as a political entity. This bold strategy is part of Trump's broader effort to hold woke universities accountable and reduce their reliance on federal tax dollars. The hosts praise Trump's proactive approach and highlight the significant reduction in border encounters, showcasing the effectiveness of his policies.
The conversation then shifts to the deportation of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, an alleged MS-13 gang member. The hosts criticize the media's portrayal of Garcia as a "Maryland man" and emphasize his criminal background and gang affiliation. They discuss the legal complexities surrounding his deportation and the political implications of Democrats' opposition to Trump's immigration policies.
AG Pam Bondi and Karoline Leavitt's comments on the case are highlighted, reinforcing the narrative that Garcia's deportation was justified and necessary for national security. The hosts argue that Trump's actions are a strategic move to address immigration issues and protect American citizens.
The discussion also touches on the broader impact of Trump's policies on illegal immigration, noting the significant decrease in border crossings and the potential self-deportation of individuals with criminal records. The hosts emphasize the importance of enforcing immigration laws and the positive outcomes of Trump's administration in this regard.
The hour concludes with a lighter segment on personal anecdotes and listener interactions. Buck shares his experiences as a new father, receiving congratulations and advice from listeners. The hosts also engage in a humorous discussion about dating expenses and the cultural significance of sports events as dating activities.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Third hour of Clay end Buck kicks off. Now, thanks
for being here with us, everybody a lot to get into.
Just a brief addendum or update to something we mentioned
in the first hour about how Trump and the White
House are going after these woke universities, holding them to
account saying no more free ride on federal tax dollars.
(00:21):
Trump has now said that he is considering taxing Harvard
as a political entity, which this goes to show you
he's not backing down on this at all. I think
one component of the Trump administration that I really like
and I think is very effective and very.
Speaker 2 (00:41):
In the moment.
Speaker 1 (00:42):
You know, it's a Trump knows what time it is strategy,
and that is the offense.
Speaker 2 (00:49):
Offense offense, meaning.
Speaker 1 (00:51):
Do things, go for things, Go after the parts of
this country, whether it's institutions or it's deep stated or
its bureaucracies or whatever. Go after the problems everywhere, all
at once, with everything that you can lawfully under the constitution.
(01:11):
A great example this Clay. The border numbers year every
year for March have come in and this March there
were something like seven thousand encounters at the border in
the entire month. I think the previous year, there were
one hundred and thirty seven thousand, So yeah, it can
be done, right, We don't even notice. We don't spend
(01:33):
as much time talking about the border on the show.
We were banging the drums and hitting all the alarms
for years on this program because we needed to because
of how insane it was, and I think we were
as focused on it as absolutely anybody else out there,
perhaps more so. I think it was one of the
primary issues that propelled Trump and the Republicans to this
enormous victory they had in this last election. But Clay,
(01:58):
there are still there's still a lot to be done,
and they're moving on all fronts. That then takes me
to the deportation component of this and how the Democrats
have decided that this is really this is an area
where they want to fight, they want to dig in,
and it brings me to Kilmar Albrago Garcia. Now he
(02:20):
is an alleged MS thirteen gang member. Stephen Miller has
been absolutely en fuego on the television talking to people
who will listen at least about how this is not
a close call, this is no longer under the authority
of any federal judge to try to change or overturn.
And here is a former attorney general of the state
(02:42):
of Florida, my home state, Pam Bondi, now the US
Attorney general, who is just saying, Look the people that
are telling Bukali, the president of Al Salvador, that he
has to give this guy back, this gang member back.
They're living in a fantasy world. Play one.
Speaker 3 (02:58):
Listening to all these liberal reporters, they keep calling him
a Maryland man. He's not a Maryland man. He's part
of a foreign terrorist organization. He's a member of MS thirteen, who,
as you laid out in your monologue, came to this
country and committed just gang acts. He was caught and
he was Two judges, an immigration judge and an appellate
(03:20):
judge ruled that he was an MS thirteen member, as
well as Isa's testimony. Yet his attorneys are saying he's
not affiliated with a gang. They're wrong, and he has
no right to be there. And President Buchle does not
want to give him back to the United States, nor
do we want him.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
Clay, what do you think happens here? It's such an
interesting question. This is where I put on my lawyer
hat I mean the Supreme Court didn't say that America
had to bring him back from El Salvador, and Bukele
yesterday said, why would I return this individual to the
United States. Now are reports which are crazy that I
(04:03):
believe the senator from one of the senators from Maryland
at least is saying I'm going to travel to El
Salvador to make sure this guy's okay, he's an illegal.
I mean, I look at this and I just say,
this is where Trump has outsmarted many of his critics.
Do you really think very many people in the United
(04:23):
States think that senators should be traveling out of our
country to make sure that people who had no business
being here are being held in a manner that you
find to be acceptable in a foreign country. And so
I think this is just the reflexively anti Trump perspective
that has lit the Democrat brand on fire. I unless
(04:46):
the court says you have to return this the Supreme
Court says you have to return this person from l Salvador,
which I don't think they're gonna do because it gets
into foreign policy, then I think this story is just
gonna eventually go away because I don't think it's that compelling.
I do think it's significant the way that Pambondi there says,
(05:07):
and you talked about this, in the way that they
defined someone Maryland Dad, Maryland man. No, he's an illegal
immigrant that had no ability to be here and he's
been deported and so, uh, the way that you decide
to classify someone, the pictures that you choose to use.
Remember when they used uh this was years ago, but
(05:30):
remember when they would use in the situation down and
down in Florida, they would often use pictures of somebody
who's like four or five years older. What was the
shooting situation, the self defense case in Florida? Oh, where
was Zimmerman with the Martin they had? They had Trayvon Martin.
They had photos of him. He was like twelve with
(05:50):
his graduation cap on. He was like eighteen years old
and one hundred and sixty five pounds and over six
feet tall. I mean, he was like a big grown man.
And they would use photos of him when he looked
like he was thirteen or fourteen years old, the way.
Speaker 1 (06:04):
That you not even he was he was like eleven,
he was eleven or twelve. They were using pre pubescent
photos of an eighteen year old man. They also changed
the audio tape with somebody at one of the news
affiliates got fired for they actually edited the tape to
make Zimmerman seem more racist. That was also clay the
rise of the white Hispanic conversation. Uh you know if
(06:24):
his name thing.
Speaker 2 (06:25):
Happened with Michael Brown in Ferguson, where they tried to
make it seem like he wasn't in any way engaged
in violent acts. That story just kind of vanished when
the Obama media was.
Speaker 1 (06:35):
Presenting Mike Brown as a gentle scholar that's wearing a
his Every photo of him from the New York Times
was him in a you know, like a graduation cap,
looking like he's about to start his MD program somewhere right.
And the reality was there was a video of him
doing a strong arm robbery a few minutes before the
incident with the cop, which is why he got pulled over.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
So he left. He did. He was not wearing his
cap and gowndering strong arm robbery, no doubt. And the
way that these stories are told are significant here, by
the way, is Caroline Levitt just a little bit ago
cut thirty. She just did an our White House press
briefing saying yeah, he's not coming back.
Speaker 4 (07:13):
Cut thirty Abrago Garcia was a foreign terrorist, he is
an MS thirteen gang member, he was engaged in human trafficking.
He illegally came into our country, and so deporting him
back to El Salvador was always going to be the
end result. There is never going to be a world
in which this is an individual who's going to live
a peaceful life in Maryland because he is a foreign
(07:35):
terrorist and an MS thirteen gang member. Not only have
we confirmed that, President Bukelly yesterday in the Oval Office
confirmed that as well. So he went back to his
home country where he will face consequences for his gang
affiliation and his engagement in human trafficking. I'm not sure
what is so difficult about this for everyone in the
media to understand. And it's appalling, truly appalling that there
(07:57):
has been so much time covering this, this alleged human
trafficker in this gang member MS thirteen gang member. It's
truly striking to me.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
I think what this represents is a flailing attempt to
find something that sticks. Think about it. In the last
three or four weeks, what have we heard The talking
point was egg prices are out of control. Trump is
making you pay more for eggs. Well, wholesale egg prices
are down, and you are going to be paying substantially
(08:28):
less than you were when Biden was in office, if
you aren't already very soon. So that story is vanished.
Stock market last week, Oh my goodness, for the last
ten days, Oh my goodness, the stock market's gonna collapse.
You're gonna everybody's gonna lose all their money. Trump has
no idea. Well, it's gone right. Stock market's basically same
price it was in September. That has faded as the
(08:49):
sort of lack of a movement has has declined. Right now,
the new argument is, oh, Trump's gonna deport you, right,
That's what they're really trying to pay it from. They're
trying to go from. If he can take this Maryland
man and send him Dell Salvador, why can't he do
the same thing to you. Well, presumably because you're an
American citizen. That's why he can't do it. That's the
(09:11):
easy answer. If you are here illegally and you have
a history of violent crime, then they can get you
and they are going to try to deport you. And
you should think that because I think one story's not
being told. Buck. I do think a significant number of
people are self deporting. You know, we talked about how
the southern border is shut down and there's a limit
on how many people in any given month that Trump
(09:33):
can get out of the country. I think if you
have a criminal record, you may be starting to look
at this and say, wait a minute, I don't want
to end up in an El Salvador prison. I'm free
and clear and able to move around right now. I
think there are tens of thousands, if not hundreds of
thousands of people here illegally that are seeing what's going on,
and they're saying, maybe I should just go back to
(09:53):
my home country, or at least go back somewhere in
Latin America.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
And you know, when you dig into this Abrego Garcia case,
it also is indicative clay of just a scam that
has been run so many millions, even tens of millions
of times against this country, with the total assistance of
ideologues in the judiciary. This guy was arrested back in
(10:21):
twenty nineteen, but a judge said, oh, we can't deport
you even though you're an illegal, because he had a
fear of a credible fear of violence in his home country.
As we are told, violent gang member was able to
stay in America because he said, oh man, it's too
(10:43):
scary for me to go back to El Salvador, and
a judge bought it. An overrode federal law under this
withholding from removal order. But as Steven Miller has pointed out,
his participation in MS thirteen a foreign designated terrorist organization
and overrides the removal order, which makes perfect sense, right,
(11:04):
You can't or the withholding removal order. I mean, you
can't have somebody who's protected from violence who's actually perpetrating
violence themselves.
Speaker 2 (11:12):
And the whole thing is just so nuts. Democrats just
don't want to deport anybody. Clay. That's really everything else
is really noise.
Speaker 1 (11:19):
They don't want to deport anybody that makes them feel
good about themselves to say everybody can stay and everybody
can come, and whatever happens to the country, we deserve
it because of you know, colonialism or something. But they
actually don't want to deport anyone.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
What I think is wild is how much time we
spent talking about how wide open the southern border on
this show and other places the debate. We even had
Moro on Republicans who were saying, you know what, let's
go ahead and sign on with the Democrats and do
a bill in the summer of twenty twenty four. I
don't think voters should forget who was willing to do that.
And Trump and Tom Homan just kept consistently saying if
(11:59):
you elect this will shut down the southern border. Southern
borders shut down. The story is completely gone. There is
not even any acknowledgment of the fact that overnight effectively
Trump shut down in the United States southern border in
terms of illegal crossings. When have we ever had an
administration come in saying that they would essentially solve a
(12:23):
top three concern of the American people and do it
within sixty days. I can't think of anything else where
so quickly, something so important to the electorate was by
the numbers, objectively addressed and solved in the way that
(12:44):
this has, which I think has wrongfoot of the Democrats
even further with all the other stuff that got lack
of leadership, and you know they're the transagenda and the
crazy stuff that they all believe. Clay, the problem is
that Trump is keeping his promises. Yes, and he's doing
what he said he would do. And so that just
drives Democrats even more insane because what they were hoping
(13:05):
was you'd get a little bit of what you had
in twenty seventeen, where you had you had some swamp
creatures saying they were going to drain the swamp, and
you had some bad picks, and you had some you know,
some Democrat advisors around Trump. And look, I'm not saying
it wasn't very good overall, but there were some missteps and.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
Trump has admitted those missteps. This time around, it's just
all systems go, and I think that drives them even
more insane. I'm not sure you can point to anything
that was an acknowledged problem, and again you can say
Democrats didn't really acknowledge it was a problem until it
got to be election season, but that a politician has
come into office and eliminated ninety five percent of in
(13:41):
the first hundred days. Ever, because ninety five percent of
legal border crossings are gone, is there any other comparable
example to a promise made by a political candidate that
was immediately delivered to this extent in the first hundred days.
I think the border is one of the greatest success
stories in modern American political history in terms of what
(14:01):
Trump was able to do solely without congressional authority, despite
the arguments to the contrary for years and years. Well,
and it also has proven that those of us, you, me,
and all of you who were screaming under Biden's administration,
they just don't want to.
Speaker 2 (14:20):
Enforce the law. This is a decision, this isn't there
overwhelmed and they can't fix it. They don't want to
fix it. We were right because Trump fixed it in
the blink of an eye, because he wanted to. So
all those other people were lying to you. You know,
that's everyone else in the media. Who's all but the border.
It's so complicated.
Speaker 1 (14:38):
No, Actually, if you enforce the law, they stopped coming.
Almost like with crime Clay, you back police and you
take violent offenders and people that are repeat offenders off
the street. Everyone gets safer, there's less crime. How Democrats
don't How the Democrat brain cannot seize on these things. Unfortunately,
one of the great weaknesses of American society these days.
(14:59):
They just can't they can't learn, they can't figure this
stuff out. All look, good Ranchers is fantastic. You know,
Carrie and I are gonna be home. They just asked, you, said,
do you have any plants coming up to travel SA.
Speaker 3 (15:09):
Not really.
Speaker 1 (15:10):
We're kind of hunkering down here, trying to get the
baby on a sleep schedule and not really going to
restaurants because while my baby crying doesn't bother me at all.
Speaker 2 (15:17):
It is my baby communicating with me.
Speaker 1 (15:19):
I will choose not to have my crying baby sitting
next to somebody at a very nice restaurant that they're
paying a lot of money for on a Friday or
Saturday night. I'm just saying, I'm just I keep it
real anyway. That means we're cooking here at home.
Speaker 2 (15:32):
That means we've got good ranchers, my friends, steaks, chicken, salmon, burgers,
everything you need. It is absolutely delicious. My mother in law,
she's gonna blush right now. She's an amazing cook and
she's here helping us out as we kind of get
our sea legs under us with the new baby.
Speaker 1 (15:48):
She's making great. I opened the fridge for the freezer
for her. I said, anything good ranchers, and they're just
taking and you know, you set the menu. We are
eating like kings because Good Ranchers is such top quality stuff.

Find them on the free iHeartRadio app or wherever you
get your podcast.
Speaker 2 (16:41):
Welcome back in Claytravis buck Sexton Show. Appreciate all of
you hanging out with us as we are rolling through
the Tuesday edition of the program. Buck, I know you
enjoyed this. What do you think about Beard Gate? All
over the internet. I have continued to fight the good
fight saying men shouldn't de their beards. And Ryan Day
(17:05):
at Ohio State I think he dies as Beard his
wife came out not who is he. He's the head
coach of Ohio State and they were at the White
House yesterday celebrating their national title. Jd. Vance fumbled the trophy,
which was very funny. It's a two part trophy, and
then later said he did it because he didn't want
anybody else to end up with the national title trophy
(17:25):
because he's an Ohio State grad. But you were like
kind of following this around along, and it's just funny.
Speaker 1 (17:32):
Because his wife, his wife is not taking shots at
our man, Clay here for his scandalous accusation that our
husband is dying his beard.
Speaker 2 (17:41):
Clay, let's just put this out there.
Speaker 1 (17:43):
What is your level of certainty that there's beard dying
going on with Ohio State's head coach and Ohio fans
out there? And we are number one in a number
of your cities in Ohio. I'm sorry, Clay's letting it
rip now.
Speaker 2 (17:54):
I think Columbus, Cleveland, and Cincinnati were number one overall.
Here is my statement. I obviously don't have firsthand knowledge
other than my observational ability of his jet black Beard,
which appears to be darker every single time when he
walks onto the field than it is during the week,
So maybe he's throwing some shoe polish in in the
in the locker room.
Speaker 6 (18:14):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (18:15):
I don't know any man in his mid forties that
does not have some gray in his beard. I don't.
I mean, maybe some of you out there are like,
I'm in my mid forties and I have a beard.
You got a little bit of gray there buck for
people on video, I've got a decent amount and I
haven't touched it up at all. I think that anybody
in his mid forties or above that has a midnight
(18:36):
dark beard, I think they're I think they're lying. I
think they are engaging in like the steroids of beer coloring.
There is some form you're.
Speaker 1 (18:46):
Accusing Ohio State's head coach of beard steroids.
Speaker 2 (18:49):
Beard steroids. I think he's going with beard steroids. I
think that there is some sort of of of Shenanigan's
going on there. I like speisty with you directly though,
that's hilarious. Well, I appreciate the fact that she's willing
to defend him on this. This is where she drew
the line. She's like, you know, not beating Michigan. You
can come after us, but Clay, I cannot allow you
to attack whether or not he dies his beard. By
(19:12):
the way, my wife I don't think would defend me
for anything online, So that's at least a strength for
Riot Day. Since nine to eleven, the Tunnel the Towers
Foundation has been supporting America's greatest heroes and their famili's
heroes who protect our communities and our country. Heroes like
firefighter James Dickman. He was passionate about fire safety, aspired
to do everything in his power to keep his community
(19:32):
and fellow firefighters safe. While responding to an apartment fire,
he was trapped inside and unable to escape. He perished
right there cause of the fire arson. He left behind
his loving wife Jamie and children, Page and Grant. They
gave Tunnel the Towers did a mortgage free home Day,
made eleven dollars a month to Tunnel the Towers at
(19:54):
t twot dot org.
Speaker 1 (19:55):
That's t the number two t dot org. Welcome back
into Clan Buck. We were to rack in stack calls here,
talkbacks here from all of you. We touch on some
big topics, some meaty topics today on the show, and
we love talking to all of you about it. I
just want to know Clay, I think you were out
for this, so cause, first of all, I have not forgotten.
All right, I'm just gonna say this on the air.
(20:16):
I owe a few debts here. I owe Clay another
steak dinner. I don't know if we're going to get
like a whole dance number. But he did beat me
in the NCAA bracket, and so I will.
Speaker 2 (20:26):
He did. He smoked me.
Speaker 1 (20:28):
I was a little I talked some trash to try
to throw him off his game, but he won the
NCUBA bracket challenge against me. Okay, I owe our friend
Jesse Kelly a dinner and we can cut this and
send it to him. I owe him at dinner at
Red Lobster, where I am to be photoed putting the
Lobster bib on him as well as picking up his meal. Now,
I don't know if Jesse's big time. He's you know, getting,
(20:49):
He's got a lot of stations, a lot of audience
now six to nine Eastern on Premiere Networks. I don't
know if he's too big time for Red Lobster now.
But you know, Jesse, maybe now you know you got
to take off your top hat on your monocle to
crack your Lobster tail. I don't know if you, but
I am willing to make good on my bet. So
I just have to find the time when I'm either
in Texas or he's in Florida, and I will take
(21:10):
him out to Red Lobster as promised. But I had
another promise play that I was reminded of recently. And
you know, Producer Mark worked with me on my show Front,
which was which was a previously six to nine on
Premier Networks. Mark has been with me for years, and
you know, he always he's like he was like my
mom who made sure I did my homework, like I
(21:30):
did all the reads that I had to do and everything.
I mean, he was always there. And I said, buddy,
you know what because I made I made some untoward remarks.
I'm just gonna I made some untoward.
Speaker 2 (21:39):
Remarks about ice hockey, and Producer Mark was like, how
dare you? You will love it if I take you
to if we go to a game, And I said,
all right, We're gonna go to a game. And then
COVID happened. I mean, this is like weeks before COVID, right,
So it was maybe January of twenty twenty or December
of twenty twenty or do you know December of twenty nineteen.
So I never got to take into the game.
Speaker 1 (21:59):
And I was reminded of this because the team we
started talking about hockey one day and so they are
going to a Rangers game later this week. I mean,
I I can't go because I live in Florida now.
But Mark Ali and Uh.
Speaker 2 (22:13):
And producer Greg, three of our producers are going to
a Rangers game, so they will give us the full
report afterwards. Because I made a promise on the air.
I mean I can't not send producer Mark, who loves
loves ice hockey. I mean I would talk smack about
ice hockey just to get a rise out of him,
because it would it would work every time. He loves
his ice hockey. So Producer Ali, Producer Ali, have you
gone to an ice hockey game before? Is this like
(22:34):
a first for you? Or have you? It's a for
too Clay. You've never been to an and you've you've
never been to an NHL game? No, did she vanish?
Speaker 7 (22:45):
Like?
Speaker 2 (22:45):
I don't know where she went, But that's staggering to
me that you could live in New York City as
producer Ali was as a single woman for many years
and Moby who used to want to still.
Speaker 1 (22:59):
I'm pretty sure the Porcelain Album is just about Moby's
heartbreak from producer Ali turning him down.
Speaker 2 (23:05):
I don't know totally. I mean, you made him, you
made him famous. I know Moby's not the most masculine guy,
but I can't believe he didn't try to sweep you
off your feet by taking you to a Rangers game.
Have you been to a Knicks game? Yes, I've been
to soccer, I've been to Mets, Yankees baseball.
Speaker 7 (23:21):
That's it.
Speaker 2 (23:22):
I would think Buck, you were a single guy in
New York City, is going to like a Yankees, a Mets,
a Knicks or Rangers game, not a like go to
dating activity like I would think it's it's a strong move.
The problem is that is that Knicks tickets are insanely
super infensive. Yes, you know, and even though the Knicks
generally stink and have forever the worst the worst operated
(23:43):
managed major sports franchise, I would argue probably in America.
So what's the most you ever spent on a first date?
First date, not like somebody you're dating with. Did you
ever like a three hundred dollars four hundred dollars meal,
like what like what was the standard average cost and
what was like a high end Like I'm really going
to try to blow it away here. I try.
Speaker 1 (24:05):
I honestly, I tried to do a drink first. I
tried to kind of inspect what's going on before I
would commit to a commit to dinner. Some of you're
gonna say, this is gonna sound insane. And in parts
of the country, you know, like I was just in Tucson,
and unless you're at the Four Seasons or something, I
don't think you're gonna spend two hundred dollars a dinner
a whole lot of places, but that's pretty much for
a dinner for two in New York City at like
a date restaurant table stakes two hundred.
Speaker 2 (24:27):
Bucks two alcohol two. Right, you're probably having at least
wine or something like with that, But I mean, you're
not getting out of a restaurant. You know, when I
was growing up, it was more like a you know,
one hundred hundred and twenty, but now table stakes two
hundred dollars. So dating in New York is a very
expensive problem. How were did any woman ever pay for
you on a first date? Any cost. I absolutely never
(24:49):
allowed a woman to pay for or split a first
date in my entire life, including dates where I thought
about pulling the fire alarm. I was like, how do
I get out of here? Do you to? Ali? Have
you ever paid for a first date? Oh? Sadly yes
I have. So how did that happen? Did he say like, hey,
(25:11):
can we split? Or how did how did you end
up paying? The old split? Zerou and I wish I
could have pulled the fire alarm to when you were
dating the guy where you like, this is in, this
is over. He's made me pay for half the ticket
on the first date.
Speaker 6 (25:24):
Well, I think to your point, they want you to
feel like you're this empowered New York woman.
Speaker 2 (25:29):
Oh man, Ali's been on some dates back in the
day with some male feminists. We're glad you ended up
with Gerard, who was a stunningly handsome man and an
alpha yelee.
Speaker 1 (25:37):
Uh yeah, just just speaking truth here. He's kind of
an allegian. I mean, he's kind of an allergion. He's
very very attractive.
Speaker 2 (25:42):
Guy, dark but literally literally tall, dark, and handsome. I
mean all three of those things, Moby is I don't
think any of those things. I think movie is the
opposite poor Moby. Yeah, he's getting super super white. I
don't even know that he contain and not particularly good looking. Yeah,
(26:05):
you've done well for yourself, Ali, So let's get he
should have taken her to a Rangers game. They might
be together today. Yeah, So I hope you guys have
a great fun and we're gonna hear I want. I
want to at least if producer Mark isn't in studio,
becas I know, sometimes he's in studio, sometimes he's outside
of the studio. But let's get a talkback from him
and you guys can weigh in about the Arrangers game.
I want to hear producer Ali your first Rangers game
(26:27):
experience and producer Mark buddy. I made you a promise,
keeping the promise. So I'm glad you're gonna go see
your Rangers.
Speaker 1 (26:32):
And I hope they I hope they beat whoever, and
I hope there are many of those those sort of
fights that they have on the ice where they throw
the gloves down and it's very exciting. James from Hackensack
on our talkback, This is CC Let's go.
Speaker 2 (26:48):
Oh on your baby.
Speaker 8 (26:50):
This is James from Hackensack, New Jersey. I noticed that
you named your son James. That's a very good move,
my friend, a very good move. All the best things
and your.
Speaker 1 (27:01):
Wife, thank you, thank you. He's James Speed Sexton. Speed
is in fact my dad's middle name, and unlike me,
he does drive very fast. So you can imagine this
has led to some amusing conversations with state troopers in
New York when they pull him over. So Speed is
a family name, his mother's maiden name, so that's dock
drives like a grandma. So this is maybe your son
(27:24):
will get a little bit of the lead foot gene.
Speaker 2 (27:26):
Some of us like to call it safe driving Clay
safe driving.
Speaker 5 (27:30):
D D.
Speaker 1 (27:30):
Ken from Lincoln, Nebraska. He listens on KFA be a
great heritage radio station out there. What's going on.
Speaker 8 (27:36):
Congratulations Buck and carry God bless you on your beautiful baby.
Speaker 9 (27:41):
Just Ken from Lincoln.
Speaker 2 (27:44):
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (27:44):
That's very kind. We get a lot of all right
here we have. First of all, thank you all for
the kind words about the baby thing. I think the
one I might have said this at the beginning of
the show, But the one funny thing was I didn't
really think about it because my wife had just been
through you know, it was a long labor. She was
a champ, and as soon as I was holding this
little bundle on my arms, I was like, can we
have three more?
Speaker 2 (28:05):
Uh? And I realized, you know, a lot, a lot
easier for me to say, right, It's pretty easy for
me to be like, let's just keep doing this, like,
let's keep this going, let's keep this train rolling. And
Carrie's like, can I, you know, recover a little bit more?
So I say that it is. It is pretty awesome.
And uh, I think that for anybody out there who's
had a newborn, it's a lot of work. But when
(28:25):
they start to start to reveal their personality, it just
gets so much better and they start to smile at
you and roll over and all of those process parts
of raising a baby. I mean, it's just like you're
just gonna be ecstatic. This is This is to what
Klay was talking about with Laura before a man Kelly
and Palm Beach, Floria listens on WJ. I know, let's
(28:46):
play it ninety pairs of shoes.
Speaker 6 (28:49):
I've been married to my wife for a few months
because it's been with her for al early year, and
when I first met her, she has a little over
a thousand.
Speaker 2 (28:57):
I do not get thousand pairs of shoes.
Speaker 1 (29:01):
Where do you keep do you have like a tractor
trailer full of shoes in the backyard?
Speaker 2 (29:05):
Where do you keep a thousand pairs of shoes? Ali asked,
And I think it's a good question. What do men
have that is way more prominent than in other words,
the sex, right, men would have it at ten x
or twenty x? What women have that's inside of a
house like possessions? The only thing I could think of tools, tools, Okay,
(29:30):
tools is a good answer. I was going to go
on the fashion front t shirts. I don't ever want
to throw away a T shirt. I bet I have
twenty x the number of T shirts of my wife
going all the way back to like nineteen ninety. Right,
we do you wear T shirts until they disintegrate? Because
the most comfortable T shirts are the oldest T shirts?
Because I do. Unless the hole is visible from like
(29:51):
ten feet away, that T shirt's good to go, and
Laa gets rid of them. If I tried to get
rid of any of her shoes, I think she would
murder me, Like she will get like that T shirt's
too old, I'm gonna throw it out. If I just said, yeah,
I don't really like those shoes, they've been around too long,
and I threw it away, I think she would strangle
me to death while I was sleeping. I'm not even kidding.
I think if I tried to get rid of any
of her shoes. Now, to be fair, she keeps shoes
(30:16):
for a really long time. But the amount of women
fascination with shoes and I never really thought about it.
It actually came up on Fox and Friends over the weekend.
Our friend Shannon Bream was talking about the number of
pairs of shoes she had, and Shannon made a comment
that I never really thought about before. She said, unlike
other clothes where you can weigh different amounts, like pretty
(30:38):
much once you're an adult, you wear the same size
shoe for the rest of your life. So you would
have to have a major weight gain in order to
not be able to put on a shoe. And I've
never really thought about it before, but that actually makes
some sense. And I was blown away because we're in
the process, like I said, of moving into a new house,
(30:59):
and I was blown away when I walked into the
bathroom and just saw all my wife's shoes arrayed there.
But the number of women who've said, oh, I've got
more than that, or you know, for a woman around
middle age, like my wife is like that, you've been
other words, you're not sixteen or eighteen years old, so
you've had time to kind of collect shoes for a
long time. I don't know that there's anything like it
(31:21):
at all.
Speaker 1 (31:22):
GG Lloyd from New Braunfels, Texas listens on WOAI, what's
going on?
Speaker 2 (31:28):
Let's play it?
Speaker 9 (31:29):
Congratulations Buck. I want to let you know that it
takes a little bit of time before the mother forgets
what it was like in labor and all the days
of approaching labor in about six to eight months.
Speaker 2 (31:46):
So don't talk about it. Killed man. What do you think, Clay?
Good advice? Your decision on to have it and when
baby number two is not going to be your decision.
There's nothing that like, I wouldn't even bring it up
when I'm in control the baby process. Once you've got
to do you feel like I convinced my wife to
have a third I think she will, She'll be excited
(32:10):
and I think she'll come to you. I wouldn't even
worry about it. Yeah, that would be my advice.
Speaker 1 (32:16):
Greg and Columbus, Ohio. We're talking about Columbus where we're
number one.
Speaker 2 (32:19):
What's going on? Greg?
Speaker 6 (32:25):
Not my own, but I got yeah, you're on, and yeah,
I you know, I almost got to talk to Rush
when I was up in Grand Rapids thirty years ago,
and I came back within a second. Got to see
g Gordon at g Gordon Lydiott Studio twenty eight up
there though. But yeah's nephews and they just think, you know,
(32:49):
whenever I'm around, it's like uncle Greg, and then you
know all that stuff. So I'll let I'll let my
brother do all the work and I'll participate in the
joy to congrats anyways.
Speaker 2 (33:02):
Thank you so much. Okay, this is where producer Greg
is like pulling his hair out because he's like, these
people are amazing on the off air, and then you
get him up and they just panic and they go
in like twenty different directions and you don't know where
you're going. But they ended with congrats, which was a
good conclusion.
Speaker 1 (33:19):
Yeah, I would say that being an uncle, which I
was before I was a dad, it's a great kind
of it's like a great gateway to the dad thing
because you get to spend time around the little person
whose family like this is my sister's boy who was
super cute and during COVID, I live very close to them,
a couple blocks away, so I could go over and
(33:40):
spend time and visit. And I was really around for
a lot of his first two years. I mean I
would see him weekly for his first two years. And
you know, it's just it's just great, man. I don't know,
it's the whole thing. I mean, now I go downstairs
and I'll go see my wife, my baby and my puppy,
and life is good.
Speaker 2 (33:58):
Clay, you know you're you're a fan.
Speaker 6 (34:00):
Man.
Speaker 2 (34:00):
It's just fantastic. It is fabulous. And I mean, again,
have more kids. The world truly does depend on it,
so we need more kids well raised to grow up.
You got a boy now, especially young men growing up
to be heads of households and help to raise other
(34:20):
strong men and women, be involved in your family. You're
gonna love it. I know a lot of the dads
and granddads out there have been through what you're going
through right now. It's head spinning, but it's pretty fabulous.
Speaker 1 (34:30):
Edward and tennessee one more before we go into break here.
What have you got for us, Edward, not a lot. Apparently,
what's going on?
Speaker 2 (34:42):
I'm gonna start keeping tally there he is, Are you there?
Speaker 1 (34:49):
Yeah, you're on a radio show, so you got to
say something or else we're gonna have to go to break.
Speaker 2 (34:52):
Go ahead.
Speaker 7 (34:53):
Yeah, I just wanted to say congrats on the baby,
and I wanted to say that my middle name is Speed.
It was my grandmother. There's a maiden name, and they
wanted to keep it in the family.
Speaker 1 (35:03):
You're relatically, it's my Yeah, we might be related, my friend,
it's my grandmother's maiden name, and that side of the
family has roots in Kentucky.
Speaker 7 (35:13):
Because well I think my grandmother has roots in Ohio.
Speaker 2 (35:18):
Well it's not far.
Speaker 7 (35:20):
She actually was living in Mississippi when she married my grandfather.
Speaker 1 (35:26):
All right, well we'll do the family tree off air here.
Maybe we're second cousins or something, but thank you for
calling in with that. But yes, Speed is a family name,
and we're gonna call a little boy Speed. I think
is actually the way we're setting this thing up. But James,
if he wants to just have like a normal name,
you know what I mean. So that's why it's first.
Speaker 2 (35:40):
It's like you you're we're both middle name is as
named people, but our first names are. You know, it
was so different. I was named after my two grandfathers.
My mom liked Richard Clay better than Clay Richard. I
will say, speed better not be the slowest kid on
the team. Well, you don't want to create that. Yes,
we need we needed to be quick, But I mean,
like the Richard Track show, it sounds like, I don't know,
(36:01):
it sounds like you're selling time share somewhere. I like
could be the Dick Travis Show, and then maybe people
would say it was a totally different kind of show.

Speaker 2 (37:27):
Welcome back in tax Day. We'll have some more big
discussions about Buck's Fundle of Joy tomorrow. But I did
like this Buck. This is from Greg. He has a
great account, funny long numbers on Twitter. IRS. You os taxes? Okay,
how much do I owe? IRS? You get to figure
that out? Can I just pay what I want?
Speaker 7 (37:49):
No?
Speaker 2 (37:50):
We know exactly how much you owe, but you have
to figure it out. What if I'm wrong, you go
to jail. Happy tax Day for everybody out there. It's absurd,
it's ridiculous. It's how we do things.
Speaker 6 (38:01):
It's
Third hour of Clay end Buck kicks off. Now, thanks
for being here with us, everybody a lot to get into.
Just a brief addendum or update to something we mentioned
in the first hour about how Trump and the White
House are going after these woke universities, holding them to
account saying no more free ride on federal tax dollars.
(00:21):
Trump has now said that he is considering taxing Harvard
as a political entity, which this goes to show you
he's not backing down on this at all. I think
one component of the Trump administration that I really like
and I think is very effective and very.
Speaker 2 (00:41):
In the moment.
Speaker 1 (00:42):
You know, it's a Trump knows what time it is strategy,
and that is the offense.
Speaker 2 (00:49):
Offense offense, meaning.
Speaker 1 (00:51):
Do things, go for things, Go after the parts of
this country, whether it's institutions or it's deep stated or
its bureaucracies or whatever. Go after the problems everywhere, all
at once, with everything that you can lawfully under the constitution.
(01:11):
A great example this Clay. The border numbers year every
year for March have come in and this March there
were something like seven thousand encounters at the border in
the entire month. I think the previous year, there were
one hundred and thirty seven thousand, So yeah, it can
be done, right, We don't even notice. We don't spend
(01:33):
as much time talking about the border on the show.
We were banging the drums and hitting all the alarms
for years on this program because we needed to because
of how insane it was, and I think we were
as focused on it as absolutely anybody else out there,
perhaps more so. I think it was one of the
primary issues that propelled Trump and the Republicans to this
enormous victory they had in this last election. But Clay,
(01:58):
there are still there's still a lot to be done,
and they're moving on all fronts. That then takes me
to the deportation component of this and how the Democrats
have decided that this is really this is an area
where they want to fight, they want to dig in,
and it brings me to Kilmar Albrago Garcia. Now he
(02:20):
is an alleged MS thirteen gang member. Stephen Miller has
been absolutely en fuego on the television talking to people
who will listen at least about how this is not
a close call, this is no longer under the authority
of any federal judge to try to change or overturn.
And here is a former attorney general of the state
(02:42):
of Florida, my home state, Pam Bondi, now the US
Attorney general, who is just saying, Look the people that
are telling Bukali, the president of Al Salvador, that he
has to give this guy back, this gang member back.
They're living in a fantasy world. Play one.
Speaker 3 (02:58):
Listening to all these liberal reporters, they keep calling him
a Maryland man. He's not a Maryland man. He's part
of a foreign terrorist organization. He's a member of MS thirteen, who,
as you laid out in your monologue, came to this
country and committed just gang acts. He was caught and
he was Two judges, an immigration judge and an appellate
(03:20):
judge ruled that he was an MS thirteen member, as
well as Isa's testimony. Yet his attorneys are saying he's
not affiliated with a gang. They're wrong, and he has
no right to be there. And President Buchle does not
want to give him back to the United States, nor
do we want him.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
Clay, what do you think happens here? It's such an
interesting question. This is where I put on my lawyer
hat I mean the Supreme Court didn't say that America
had to bring him back from El Salvador, and Bukele
yesterday said, why would I return this individual to the
United States. Now are reports which are crazy that I
(04:03):
believe the senator from one of the senators from Maryland
at least is saying I'm going to travel to El
Salvador to make sure this guy's okay, he's an illegal.
I mean, I look at this and I just say,
this is where Trump has outsmarted many of his critics.
Do you really think very many people in the United
(04:23):
States think that senators should be traveling out of our
country to make sure that people who had no business
being here are being held in a manner that you
find to be acceptable in a foreign country. And so
I think this is just the reflexively anti Trump perspective
that has lit the Democrat brand on fire. I unless
(04:46):
the court says you have to return this the Supreme
Court says you have to return this person from l Salvador,
which I don't think they're gonna do because it gets
into foreign policy, then I think this story is just
gonna eventually go away because I don't think it's that compelling.
I do think it's significant the way that Pambondi there says,
(05:07):
and you talked about this, in the way that they
defined someone Maryland Dad, Maryland man. No, he's an illegal
immigrant that had no ability to be here and he's
been deported and so, uh, the way that you decide
to classify someone, the pictures that you choose to use.
Remember when they used uh this was years ago, but
(05:30):
remember when they would use in the situation down and
down in Florida, they would often use pictures of somebody
who's like four or five years older. What was the
shooting situation, the self defense case in Florida? Oh, where
was Zimmerman with the Martin they had? They had Trayvon Martin.
They had photos of him. He was like twelve with
(05:50):
his graduation cap on. He was like eighteen years old
and one hundred and sixty five pounds and over six
feet tall. I mean, he was like a big grown man.
And they would use photos of him when he looked
like he was thirteen or fourteen years old, the way.
Speaker 1 (06:04):
That you not even he was he was like eleven,
he was eleven or twelve. They were using pre pubescent
photos of an eighteen year old man. They also changed
the audio tape with somebody at one of the news
affiliates got fired for they actually edited the tape to
make Zimmerman seem more racist. That was also clay the
rise of the white Hispanic conversation. Uh you know if
(06:24):
his name thing.
Speaker 2 (06:25):
Happened with Michael Brown in Ferguson, where they tried to
make it seem like he wasn't in any way engaged
in violent acts. That story just kind of vanished when
the Obama media was.
Speaker 1 (06:35):
Presenting Mike Brown as a gentle scholar that's wearing a
his Every photo of him from the New York Times
was him in a you know, like a graduation cap,
looking like he's about to start his MD program somewhere right.
And the reality was there was a video of him
doing a strong arm robbery a few minutes before the
incident with the cop, which is why he got pulled over.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
So he left. He did. He was not wearing his
cap and gowndering strong arm robbery, no doubt. And the
way that these stories are told are significant here, by
the way, is Caroline Levitt just a little bit ago
cut thirty. She just did an our White House press
briefing saying yeah, he's not coming back.
Speaker 4 (07:13):
Cut thirty Abrago Garcia was a foreign terrorist, he is
an MS thirteen gang member, he was engaged in human trafficking.
He illegally came into our country, and so deporting him
back to El Salvador was always going to be the
end result. There is never going to be a world
in which this is an individual who's going to live
a peaceful life in Maryland because he is a foreign
(07:35):
terrorist and an MS thirteen gang member. Not only have
we confirmed that, President Bukelly yesterday in the Oval Office
confirmed that as well. So he went back to his
home country where he will face consequences for his gang
affiliation and his engagement in human trafficking. I'm not sure
what is so difficult about this for everyone in the
media to understand. And it's appalling, truly appalling that there
(07:57):
has been so much time covering this, this alleged human
trafficker in this gang member MS thirteen gang member. It's
truly striking to me.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
I think what this represents is a flailing attempt to
find something that sticks. Think about it. In the last
three or four weeks, what have we heard The talking
point was egg prices are out of control. Trump is
making you pay more for eggs. Well, wholesale egg prices
are down, and you are going to be paying substantially
(08:28):
less than you were when Biden was in office, if
you aren't already very soon. So that story is vanished.
Stock market last week, Oh my goodness, for the last
ten days, Oh my goodness, the stock market's gonna collapse.
You're gonna everybody's gonna lose all their money. Trump has
no idea. Well, it's gone right. Stock market's basically same
price it was in September. That has faded as the
(08:49):
sort of lack of a movement has has declined. Right now,
the new argument is, oh, Trump's gonna deport you, right,
That's what they're really trying to pay it from. They're
trying to go from. If he can take this Maryland
man and send him Dell Salvador, why can't he do
the same thing to you. Well, presumably because you're an
American citizen. That's why he can't do it. That's the
(09:11):
easy answer. If you are here illegally and you have
a history of violent crime, then they can get you
and they are going to try to deport you. And
you should think that because I think one story's not
being told. Buck. I do think a significant number of
people are self deporting. You know, we talked about how
the southern border is shut down and there's a limit
on how many people in any given month that Trump
(09:33):
can get out of the country. I think if you
have a criminal record, you may be starting to look
at this and say, wait a minute, I don't want
to end up in an El Salvador prison. I'm free
and clear and able to move around right now. I
think there are tens of thousands, if not hundreds of
thousands of people here illegally that are seeing what's going on,
and they're saying, maybe I should just go back to
(09:53):
my home country, or at least go back somewhere in
Latin America.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
And you know, when you dig into this Abrego Garcia case,
it also is indicative clay of just a scam that
has been run so many millions, even tens of millions
of times against this country, with the total assistance of
ideologues in the judiciary. This guy was arrested back in
(10:21):
twenty nineteen, but a judge said, oh, we can't deport
you even though you're an illegal, because he had a
fear of a credible fear of violence in his home country.
As we are told, violent gang member was able to
stay in America because he said, oh man, it's too
(10:43):
scary for me to go back to El Salvador, and
a judge bought it. An overrode federal law under this
withholding from removal order. But as Steven Miller has pointed out,
his participation in MS thirteen a foreign designated terrorist organization
and overrides the removal order, which makes perfect sense, right,
(11:04):
You can't or the withholding removal order. I mean, you
can't have somebody who's protected from violence who's actually perpetrating
violence themselves.
Speaker 2 (11:12):
And the whole thing is just so nuts. Democrats just
don't want to deport anybody. Clay. That's really everything else
is really noise.
Speaker 1 (11:19):
They don't want to deport anybody that makes them feel
good about themselves to say everybody can stay and everybody
can come, and whatever happens to the country, we deserve
it because of you know, colonialism or something. But they
actually don't want to deport anyone.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
What I think is wild is how much time we
spent talking about how wide open the southern border on
this show and other places the debate. We even had
Moro on Republicans who were saying, you know what, let's
go ahead and sign on with the Democrats and do
a bill in the summer of twenty twenty four. I
don't think voters should forget who was willing to do that.
And Trump and Tom Homan just kept consistently saying if
(11:59):
you elect this will shut down the southern border. Southern
borders shut down. The story is completely gone. There is
not even any acknowledgment of the fact that overnight effectively
Trump shut down in the United States southern border in
terms of illegal crossings. When have we ever had an
administration come in saying that they would essentially solve a
(12:23):
top three concern of the American people and do it
within sixty days. I can't think of anything else where
so quickly, something so important to the electorate was by
the numbers, objectively addressed and solved in the way that
(12:44):
this has, which I think has wrongfoot of the Democrats
even further with all the other stuff that got lack
of leadership, and you know they're the transagenda and the
crazy stuff that they all believe. Clay, the problem is
that Trump is keeping his promises. Yes, and he's doing
what he said he would do. And so that just
drives Democrats even more insane because what they were hoping
(13:05):
was you'd get a little bit of what you had
in twenty seventeen, where you had you had some swamp
creatures saying they were going to drain the swamp, and
you had some bad picks, and you had some you know,
some Democrat advisors around Trump. And look, I'm not saying
it wasn't very good overall, but there were some missteps and.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
Trump has admitted those missteps. This time around, it's just
all systems go, and I think that drives them even
more insane. I'm not sure you can point to anything
that was an acknowledged problem, and again you can say
Democrats didn't really acknowledge it was a problem until it
got to be election season, but that a politician has
come into office and eliminated ninety five percent of in
(13:41):
the first hundred days. Ever, because ninety five percent of
legal border crossings are gone, is there any other comparable
example to a promise made by a political candidate that
was immediately delivered to this extent in the first hundred days.
I think the border is one of the greatest success
stories in modern American political history in terms of what
(14:01):
Trump was able to do solely without congressional authority, despite
the arguments to the contrary for years and years. Well,
and it also has proven that those of us, you, me,
and all of you who were screaming under Biden's administration,
they just don't want to.
Speaker 2 (14:20):
Enforce the law. This is a decision, this isn't there
overwhelmed and they can't fix it. They don't want to
fix it. We were right because Trump fixed it in
the blink of an eye, because he wanted to. So
all those other people were lying to you. You know,
that's everyone else in the media. Who's all but the border.
It's so complicated.
Speaker 1 (14:38):
No, Actually, if you enforce the law, they stopped coming.
Almost like with crime Clay, you back police and you
take violent offenders and people that are repeat offenders off
the street. Everyone gets safer, there's less crime. How Democrats
don't How the Democrat brain cannot seize on these things. Unfortunately,
one of the great weaknesses of American society these days.
(14:59):
They just can't they can't learn, they can't figure this
stuff out. All look, good Ranchers is fantastic. You know,
Carrie and I are gonna be home. They just asked, you, said,
do you have any plants coming up to travel SA.
Speaker 3 (15:09):
Not really.
Speaker 1 (15:10):
We're kind of hunkering down here, trying to get the
baby on a sleep schedule and not really going to
restaurants because while my baby crying doesn't bother me at all.
Speaker 2 (15:17):
It is my baby communicating with me.
Speaker 1 (15:19):
I will choose not to have my crying baby sitting
next to somebody at a very nice restaurant that they're
paying a lot of money for on a Friday or
Saturday night. I'm just saying, I'm just I keep it
real anyway. That means we're cooking here at home.
Speaker 2 (15:32):
That means we've got good ranchers, my friends, steaks, chicken, salmon, burgers,
everything you need. It is absolutely delicious. My mother in law,
she's gonna blush right now. She's an amazing cook and
she's here helping us out as we kind of get
our sea legs under us with the new baby.
Speaker 1 (15:48):
She's making great. I opened the fridge for the freezer
for her. I said, anything good ranchers, and they're just
taking and you know, you set the menu. We are
eating like kings because Good Ranchers is such top quality stuff.

Claytravison buck Sexton mic drops that never sounded so good.
Find them on the free iHeartRadio app or wherever you
get your podcast.
Speaker 2 (16:41):
Welcome back in Claytravis buck Sexton Show. Appreciate all of
you hanging out with us as we are rolling through
the Tuesday edition of the program. Buck, I know you
enjoyed this. What do you think about Beard Gate? All
over the internet. I have continued to fight the good
fight saying men shouldn't de their beards. And Ryan Day
(17:05):
at Ohio State I think he dies as Beard his
wife came out not who is he. He's the head
coach of Ohio State and they were at the White
House yesterday celebrating their national title. Jd. Vance fumbled the trophy,
which was very funny. It's a two part trophy, and
then later said he did it because he didn't want
anybody else to end up with the national title trophy
(17:25):
because he's an Ohio State grad. But you were like
kind of following this around along, and it's just funny.
Speaker 1 (17:32):
Because his wife, his wife is not taking shots at
our man, Clay here for his scandalous accusation that our
husband is dying his beard.
Speaker 2 (17:41):
Clay, let's just put this out there.
Speaker 1 (17:43):
What is your level of certainty that there's beard dying
going on with Ohio State's head coach and Ohio fans
out there? And we are number one in a number
of your cities in Ohio. I'm sorry, Clay's letting it
rip now.
Speaker 2 (17:54):
I think Columbus, Cleveland, and Cincinnati were number one overall.
Here is my statement. I obviously don't have firsthand knowledge
other than my observational ability of his jet black Beard,
which appears to be darker every single time when he
walks onto the field than it is during the week,
So maybe he's throwing some shoe polish in in the
in the locker room.
Speaker 6 (18:14):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (18:15):
I don't know any man in his mid forties that
does not have some gray in his beard. I don't.
I mean, maybe some of you out there are like,
I'm in my mid forties and I have a beard.
You got a little bit of gray there buck for
people on video, I've got a decent amount and I
haven't touched it up at all. I think that anybody
in his mid forties or above that has a midnight
(18:36):
dark beard, I think they're I think they're lying. I
think they are engaging in like the steroids of beer coloring.
There is some form you're.
Speaker 1 (18:46):
Accusing Ohio State's head coach of beard steroids.
Speaker 2 (18:49):
Beard steroids. I think he's going with beard steroids. I
think that there is some sort of of of Shenanigan's
going on there. I like speisty with you directly though,
that's hilarious. Well, I appreciate the fact that she's willing
to defend him on this. This is where she drew
the line. She's like, you know, not beating Michigan. You
can come after us, but Clay, I cannot allow you
to attack whether or not he dies his beard. By
(19:12):
the way, my wife I don't think would defend me
for anything online, So that's at least a strength for
Riot Day. Since nine to eleven, the Tunnel the Towers
Foundation has been supporting America's greatest heroes and their famili's
heroes who protect our communities and our country. Heroes like
firefighter James Dickman. He was passionate about fire safety, aspired
to do everything in his power to keep his community
(19:32):
and fellow firefighters safe. While responding to an apartment fire,
he was trapped inside and unable to escape. He perished
right there cause of the fire arson. He left behind
his loving wife Jamie and children, Page and Grant. They
gave Tunnel the Towers did a mortgage free home Day,
made eleven dollars a month to Tunnel the Towers at
(19:54):
t twot dot org.
Speaker 1 (19:55):
That's t the number two t dot org. Welcome back
into Clan Buck. We were to rack in stack calls here,
talkbacks here from all of you. We touch on some
big topics, some meaty topics today on the show, and
we love talking to all of you about it. I
just want to know Clay, I think you were out
for this, so cause, first of all, I have not forgotten.
All right, I'm just gonna say this on the air.
(20:16):
I owe a few debts here. I owe Clay another
steak dinner. I don't know if we're going to get
like a whole dance number. But he did beat me
in the NCAA bracket, and so I will.
Speaker 2 (20:26):
He did. He smoked me.
Speaker 1 (20:28):
I was a little I talked some trash to try
to throw him off his game, but he won the
NCUBA bracket challenge against me. Okay, I owe our friend
Jesse Kelly a dinner and we can cut this and
send it to him. I owe him at dinner at
Red Lobster, where I am to be photoed putting the
Lobster bib on him as well as picking up his meal. Now,
I don't know if Jesse's big time. He's you know, getting,
(20:49):
He's got a lot of stations, a lot of audience
now six to nine Eastern on Premiere Networks. I don't
know if he's too big time for Red Lobster now.
But you know, Jesse, maybe now you know you got
to take off your top hat on your monocle to
crack your Lobster tail. I don't know if you, but
I am willing to make good on my bet. So
I just have to find the time when I'm either
in Texas or he's in Florida, and I will take
(21:10):
him out to Red Lobster as promised. But I had
another promise play that I was reminded of recently. And
you know, Producer Mark worked with me on my show Front,
which was which was a previously six to nine on
Premier Networks. Mark has been with me for years, and
you know, he always he's like he was like my
mom who made sure I did my homework, like I
(21:30):
did all the reads that I had to do and everything.
I mean, he was always there. And I said, buddy,
you know what because I made I made some untoward remarks.
I'm just gonna I made some untoward.
Speaker 2 (21:39):
Remarks about ice hockey, and Producer Mark was like, how
dare you? You will love it if I take you
to if we go to a game, And I said,
all right, We're gonna go to a game. And then
COVID happened. I mean, this is like weeks before COVID, right,
So it was maybe January of twenty twenty or December
of twenty twenty or do you know December of twenty nineteen.
So I never got to take into the game.
Speaker 1 (21:59):
And I was reminded of this because the team we
started talking about hockey one day and so they are
going to a Rangers game later this week. I mean,
I I can't go because I live in Florida now.
But Mark Ali and Uh.
Speaker 2 (22:13):
And producer Greg, three of our producers are going to
a Rangers game, so they will give us the full
report afterwards. Because I made a promise on the air.
I mean I can't not send producer Mark, who loves
loves ice hockey. I mean I would talk smack about
ice hockey just to get a rise out of him,
because it would it would work every time. He loves
his ice hockey. So Producer Ali, Producer Ali, have you
gone to an ice hockey game before? Is this like
(22:34):
a first for you? Or have you? It's a for
too Clay. You've never been to an and you've you've
never been to an NHL game? No, did she vanish?
Speaker 7 (22:45):
Like?
Speaker 2 (22:45):
I don't know where she went, But that's staggering to
me that you could live in New York City as
producer Ali was as a single woman for many years
and Moby who used to want to still.
Speaker 1 (22:59):
I'm pretty sure the Porcelain Album is just about Moby's
heartbreak from producer Ali turning him down.
Speaker 2 (23:05):
I don't know totally. I mean, you made him, you
made him famous. I know Moby's not the most masculine guy,
but I can't believe he didn't try to sweep you
off your feet by taking you to a Rangers game.
Have you been to a Knicks game? Yes, I've been
to soccer, I've been to Mets, Yankees baseball.
Speaker 7 (23:21):
That's it.
Speaker 2 (23:22):
I would think Buck, you were a single guy in
New York City, is going to like a Yankees, a Mets,
a Knicks or Rangers game, not a like go to
dating activity like I would think it's it's a strong move.
The problem is that is that Knicks tickets are insanely
super infensive. Yes, you know, and even though the Knicks
generally stink and have forever the worst the worst operated
(23:43):
managed major sports franchise, I would argue probably in America.
So what's the most you ever spent on a first date?
First date, not like somebody you're dating with. Did you
ever like a three hundred dollars four hundred dollars meal,
like what like what was the standard average cost and
what was like a high end Like I'm really going
to try to blow it away here. I try.
Speaker 1 (24:05):
I honestly, I tried to do a drink first. I
tried to kind of inspect what's going on before I
would commit to a commit to dinner. Some of you're
gonna say, this is gonna sound insane. And in parts
of the country, you know, like I was just in Tucson,
and unless you're at the Four Seasons or something, I
don't think you're gonna spend two hundred dollars a dinner
a whole lot of places, but that's pretty much for
a dinner for two in New York City at like
a date restaurant table stakes two hundred.
Speaker 2 (24:27):
Bucks two alcohol two. Right, you're probably having at least
wine or something like with that, But I mean, you're
not getting out of a restaurant. You know, when I
was growing up, it was more like a you know,
one hundred hundred and twenty, but now table stakes two
hundred dollars. So dating in New York is a very
expensive problem. How were did any woman ever pay for
you on a first date? Any cost. I absolutely never
(24:49):
allowed a woman to pay for or split a first
date in my entire life, including dates where I thought
about pulling the fire alarm. I was like, how do
I get out of here? Do you to? Ali? Have
you ever paid for a first date? Oh? Sadly yes
I have. So how did that happen? Did he say like, hey,
(25:11):
can we split? Or how did how did you end
up paying? The old split? Zerou and I wish I
could have pulled the fire alarm to when you were
dating the guy where you like, this is in, this
is over. He's made me pay for half the ticket
on the first date.
Speaker 6 (25:24):
Well, I think to your point, they want you to
feel like you're this empowered New York woman.
Speaker 2 (25:29):
Oh man, Ali's been on some dates back in the
day with some male feminists. We're glad you ended up
with Gerard, who was a stunningly handsome man and an
alpha yelee.
Speaker 1 (25:37):
Uh yeah, just just speaking truth here. He's kind of
an allegian. I mean, he's kind of an allergion. He's
very very attractive.
Speaker 2 (25:42):
Guy, dark but literally literally tall, dark, and handsome. I
mean all three of those things, Moby is I don't
think any of those things. I think movie is the
opposite poor Moby. Yeah, he's getting super super white. I
don't even know that he contain and not particularly good looking. Yeah,
(26:05):
you've done well for yourself, Ali, So let's get he
should have taken her to a Rangers game. They might
be together today. Yeah, So I hope you guys have
a great fun and we're gonna hear I want. I
want to at least if producer Mark isn't in studio,
becas I know, sometimes he's in studio, sometimes he's outside
of the studio. But let's get a talkback from him
and you guys can weigh in about the Arrangers game.
I want to hear producer Ali your first Rangers game
(26:27):
experience and producer Mark buddy. I made you a promise,
keeping the promise. So I'm glad you're gonna go see
your Rangers.
Speaker 1 (26:32):
And I hope they I hope they beat whoever, and
I hope there are many of those those sort of
fights that they have on the ice where they throw
the gloves down and it's very exciting. James from Hackensack
on our talkback, This is CC Let's go.
Speaker 2 (26:48):
Oh on your baby.
Speaker 8 (26:50):
This is James from Hackensack, New Jersey. I noticed that
you named your son James. That's a very good move,
my friend, a very good move. All the best things
and your.
Speaker 1 (27:01):
Wife, thank you, thank you. He's James Speed Sexton. Speed
is in fact my dad's middle name, and unlike me,
he does drive very fast. So you can imagine this
has led to some amusing conversations with state troopers in
New York when they pull him over. So Speed is
a family name, his mother's maiden name, so that's dock
drives like a grandma. So this is maybe your son
(27:24):
will get a little bit of the lead foot gene.
Speaker 2 (27:26):
Some of us like to call it safe driving Clay
safe driving.
Speaker 5 (27:30):
D D.
Speaker 1 (27:30):
Ken from Lincoln, Nebraska. He listens on KFA be a
great heritage radio station out there. What's going on.
Speaker 8 (27:36):
Congratulations Buck and carry God bless you on your beautiful baby.
Speaker 9 (27:41):
Just Ken from Lincoln.
Speaker 2 (27:44):
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (27:44):
That's very kind. We get a lot of all right
here we have. First of all, thank you all for
the kind words about the baby thing. I think the
one I might have said this at the beginning of
the show, But the one funny thing was I didn't
really think about it because my wife had just been
through you know, it was a long labor. She was
a champ, and as soon as I was holding this
little bundle on my arms, I was like, can we
have three more?
Speaker 2 (28:05):
Uh? And I realized, you know, a lot, a lot
easier for me to say, right, It's pretty easy for
me to be like, let's just keep doing this, like,
let's keep this going, let's keep this train rolling. And
Carrie's like, can I, you know, recover a little bit more?
So I say that it is. It is pretty awesome.
And uh, I think that for anybody out there who's
had a newborn, it's a lot of work. But when
(28:25):
they start to start to reveal their personality, it just
gets so much better and they start to smile at
you and roll over and all of those process parts
of raising a baby. I mean, it's just like you're
just gonna be ecstatic. This is This is to what
Klay was talking about with Laura before a man Kelly
and Palm Beach, Floria listens on WJ. I know, let's
(28:46):
play it ninety pairs of shoes.
Speaker 6 (28:49):
I've been married to my wife for a few months
because it's been with her for al early year, and
when I first met her, she has a little over
a thousand.
Speaker 2 (28:57):
I do not get thousand pairs of shoes.
Speaker 1 (29:01):
Where do you keep do you have like a tractor
trailer full of shoes in the backyard?
Speaker 2 (29:05):
Where do you keep a thousand pairs of shoes? Ali asked,
And I think it's a good question. What do men
have that is way more prominent than in other words,
the sex, right, men would have it at ten x
or twenty x? What women have that's inside of a
house like possessions? The only thing I could think of tools, tools, Okay,
(29:30):
tools is a good answer. I was going to go
on the fashion front t shirts. I don't ever want
to throw away a T shirt. I bet I have
twenty x the number of T shirts of my wife
going all the way back to like nineteen ninety. Right,
we do you wear T shirts until they disintegrate? Because
the most comfortable T shirts are the oldest T shirts?
Because I do. Unless the hole is visible from like
(29:51):
ten feet away, that T shirt's good to go, and
Laa gets rid of them. If I tried to get
rid of any of her shoes, I think she would
murder me, Like she will get like that T shirt's
too old, I'm gonna throw it out. If I just said, yeah,
I don't really like those shoes, they've been around too long,
and I threw it away, I think she would strangle
me to death while I was sleeping. I'm not even kidding.
I think if I tried to get rid of any
of her shoes. Now, to be fair, she keeps shoes
(30:16):
for a really long time. But the amount of women
fascination with shoes and I never really thought about it.
It actually came up on Fox and Friends over the weekend.
Our friend Shannon Bream was talking about the number of
pairs of shoes she had, and Shannon made a comment
that I never really thought about before. She said, unlike
other clothes where you can weigh different amounts, like pretty
(30:38):
much once you're an adult, you wear the same size
shoe for the rest of your life. So you would
have to have a major weight gain in order to
not be able to put on a shoe. And I've
never really thought about it before, but that actually makes
some sense. And I was blown away because we're in
the process, like I said, of moving into a new house,
(30:59):
and I was blown away when I walked into the
bathroom and just saw all my wife's shoes arrayed there.
But the number of women who've said, oh, I've got
more than that, or you know, for a woman around
middle age, like my wife is like that, you've been
other words, you're not sixteen or eighteen years old, so
you've had time to kind of collect shoes for a
long time. I don't know that there's anything like it
(31:21):
at all.
Speaker 1 (31:22):
GG Lloyd from New Braunfels, Texas listens on WOAI, what's
going on?
Speaker 2 (31:28):
Let's play it?
Speaker 9 (31:29):
Congratulations Buck. I want to let you know that it
takes a little bit of time before the mother forgets
what it was like in labor and all the days
of approaching labor in about six to eight months.
Speaker 2 (31:46):
So don't talk about it. Killed man. What do you think, Clay?
Good advice? Your decision on to have it and when
baby number two is not going to be your decision.
There's nothing that like, I wouldn't even bring it up
when I'm in control the baby process. Once you've got
to do you feel like I convinced my wife to
have a third I think she will, She'll be excited
(32:10):
and I think she'll come to you. I wouldn't even
worry about it. Yeah, that would be my advice.
Speaker 1 (32:16):
Greg and Columbus, Ohio. We're talking about Columbus where we're
number one.
Speaker 2 (32:19):
What's going on? Greg?
Speaker 6 (32:25):
Not my own, but I got yeah, you're on, and yeah,
I you know, I almost got to talk to Rush
when I was up in Grand Rapids thirty years ago,
and I came back within a second. Got to see
g Gordon at g Gordon Lydiott Studio twenty eight up
there though. But yeah's nephews and they just think, you know,
(32:49):
whenever I'm around, it's like uncle Greg, and then you
know all that stuff. So I'll let I'll let my
brother do all the work and I'll participate in the
joy to congrats anyways.
Speaker 2 (33:02):
Thank you so much. Okay, this is where producer Greg
is like pulling his hair out because he's like, these
people are amazing on the off air, and then you
get him up and they just panic and they go
in like twenty different directions and you don't know where
you're going. But they ended with congrats, which was a
good conclusion.
Speaker 1 (33:19):
Yeah, I would say that being an uncle, which I
was before I was a dad, it's a great kind
of it's like a great gateway to the dad thing
because you get to spend time around the little person
whose family like this is my sister's boy who was
super cute and during COVID, I live very close to them,
a couple blocks away, so I could go over and
(33:40):
spend time and visit. And I was really around for
a lot of his first two years. I mean I
would see him weekly for his first two years. And
you know, it's just it's just great, man. I don't know,
it's the whole thing. I mean, now I go downstairs
and I'll go see my wife, my baby and my puppy,
and life is good.
Speaker 2 (33:58):
Clay, you know you're you're a fan.
Speaker 6 (34:00):
Man.
Speaker 2 (34:00):
It's just fantastic. It is fabulous. And I mean, again,
have more kids. The world truly does depend on it,
so we need more kids well raised to grow up.
You got a boy now, especially young men growing up
to be heads of households and help to raise other
(34:20):
strong men and women, be involved in your family. You're
gonna love it. I know a lot of the dads
and granddads out there have been through what you're going
through right now. It's head spinning, but it's pretty fabulous.
Speaker 1 (34:30):
Edward and tennessee one more before we go into break here.
What have you got for us, Edward, not a lot. Apparently,
what's going on?
Speaker 2 (34:42):
I'm gonna start keeping tally there he is, Are you there?
Speaker 1 (34:49):
Yeah, you're on a radio show, so you got to
say something or else we're gonna have to go to break.
Speaker 2 (34:52):
Go ahead.
Speaker 7 (34:53):
Yeah, I just wanted to say congrats on the baby,
and I wanted to say that my middle name is Speed.
It was my grandmother. There's a maiden name, and they
wanted to keep it in the family.
Speaker 1 (35:03):
You're relatically, it's my Yeah, we might be related, my friend,
it's my grandmother's maiden name, and that side of the
family has roots in Kentucky.
Speaker 7 (35:13):
Because well I think my grandmother has roots in Ohio.
Speaker 2 (35:18):
Well it's not far.
Speaker 7 (35:20):
She actually was living in Mississippi when she married my grandfather.
Speaker 1 (35:26):
All right, well we'll do the family tree off air here.
Maybe we're second cousins or something, but thank you for
calling in with that. But yes, Speed is a family name,
and we're gonna call a little boy Speed. I think
is actually the way we're setting this thing up. But James,
if he wants to just have like a normal name,
you know what I mean. So that's why it's first.
Speaker 2 (35:40):
It's like you you're we're both middle name is as
named people, but our first names are. You know, it
was so different. I was named after my two grandfathers.
My mom liked Richard Clay better than Clay Richard. I
will say, speed better not be the slowest kid on
the team. Well, you don't want to create that. Yes,
we need we needed to be quick, But I mean,
like the Richard Track show, it sounds like, I don't know,
(36:01):
it sounds like you're selling time share somewhere. I like
could be the Dick Travis Show, and then maybe people
would say it was a totally different kind of show.
Speaker 1 (36:10):
Tax filing deadline is today, everybody for the IRS, and look,
I'm just gonna say this to you. If you're behind,
if you're a dispute with the IRS, today reminds you
about this problem. But the problem doesn't get better. You
need to take action. And this is where Rush tax
