Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show H3 – May 19 2022

Published May 19, 2022, 7:36 PM

The iconic Rush Limbaugh theme song, My City Was Gone by The Pretenders, is retiring, almost like the loving and respectful retirement of a sports jersey, as Clay sometimes brings up. Clay and Buck, with the one-year anniversary of The Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Show approaching, announce the new theme song, My Own Worst Enemy by Lit, a band they both respect a lot and feel reflects the values of the show. C&B open the phone lines to for callers to weigh in on the new theme song and remembering Rush. Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich joins the show to discuss the upcoming border disaster of Biden ending Title 42. The new Marilyn Monroe movie reminds C&B of the famous moment of Marilyn singing Happy Birthday to JFK. 

Welcome to today's edition of the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show podcast. Welcome back in our number three Clay Travis buck Sexton Show. We appreciate all of you hanging out with us, so as you listen to the music that is bringing us back here at the top of the hour, a lot of you have the same reaction that we have had over the years. For decades, Rush's theme song has reminded everyone out there truth and clarity on the way. It's an iconic song forever that's going to be attached to Russian Limbaugh and everything that he represented. As we come up on the one year anniversary of this show, these songwrites are expiring, and we wanted to take this time. Buck and we talked a lot about this behind the scenes. As this songwrites are expiring, I wanted to take the time to find a song for this show that could be as iconic and irreplaceable in the future, and also that would feature a band that really loves and respects what our political beliefs are, because there's a lot of you out there know there are a lot of bands that do not respect what we believe in every day, and so we spend a lot of time on this book, and for us this is really like retiring the jersey in sports, because Russia's theme song is forever attached to his memory, everything he built, and we deeply honor that his legacy, and that song is a part of his legacy. Of course, So with all of that in mind, and given as we said that the songwrites are expiring soon, we found this amazing band. Clay is actually friends with the individuals in this band Lit. You may know the band Lit. The song we've landed on is called My Own Worst Enemy. It has tens of millions of YouTube plays. There are hundreds and hundreds of rock stations that were playing it when it first came out in nineteen ninety nine, which I will say is a great year, a phenomenal year, maybe the greatest year of all time. And Clay, a really great thing is it's it's rare to find a rock band that honestly doesn't have the politics of a bunch of of evil commies, no matter how good their music may be. These guys are patriots. They love America. You know them. They listen to the show, Yeah, I listen. I know them personally, and so I'll give you a I'll give you a story. They live here in Nashville. The band is lit again. The song is My Own Worst Enemy. If you are a fan at all of nineteen nineties era music, this is one of the most iconic songs that came out of the nineties. I met these guys many times over the years here in Nashville, and actually I was over at their house once and I walked in and they had a college football game on as Utah was playing, and we're number one in Salt Lake City, so shout out to the Utes, and I just thought that was interesting. I watch every college football game, but they were they had Utah on, and I walked in and Jeremy Popoff, who is one of the members of the band, his son was a student manager for the Utah Utes football team. So I got to know the family really well, and in fact, their son was one of the interns for OutKick, and I've gotten to know them so well. And we were making this decision. Buck was really important to me that we feature music from people who respect and love and have the same political beliefs as us. These guys moved to Tennessee from California because they were so frustrated with the direction that California politics had gone, and they are going to be long time listeners of this show. They loved a Rush and when we had this conversation with them, Buck, I mean, you should have seen their faces and how excited they were to be able to bring their music to this audience and connect their brand and their spirit with the spirit and the brand of the greatest radio show audience that has ever existed in American history. So we spent a lot of time on this. When they told us this song was expiring, that the contract was running out, that they wanted to make sure that it was forever iconic and connected to Rush, that we could find our own version of this, And I'm confident that you guys are going to like it in the same way my city was gone to find Rush again. I think your analogy is a good one, Buck of retiring, you know, sort of, the Jersey will always be proud of our affiliation with Rush in that theme song, but we hope that this new song will also be a big part of our listening family. I think we're going to debut it on Monday. It may take some time for people to get used to, but we wanted to directly address this with you instead of just flipping a switch. Suddenly, you guys are like, what the world happened? We we live every day on this show to serve this audience, the audience that Rush built, and everything we do keeps in mind that legacy and all that he built over decades. So we make decisions here with that as a as a load stars, as a guiding point for us. And so with that in mind, we are retiring the jersey. So to speak of a great song, a song, let's be honest, that Rush made great. Actually, I think that that's fair to say. It is really associated with Rush more than anything than anything else about that song. And now we're going to be introducing folks to LIT and we think that they will. We hope they'll enjoy it. We want to hear from you, by the way, as we say we serve you. We serve this audience every day. That's why we're here. And it's an honor. Honestly, it is a privilege. And I've said this before and I think you can tell Clay and I feel the same way. We really mean it. We're lucky to be able to do this show. Every day. It's a great blessing for all of us to be able to talk to all of you. So I want to hear from some of you. Of you are if you know, Lid, if you're excited about the prospect of a little bit of some nineties music being thrown into the mix here, you've already heard some nineties here and there. I mean, we're you know, we want to keep it just from an audio and music lover perspective, keep it, keep it fresh and moving, and introduce you to new things in general. And so if you have any thoughts on this one eight hundred two two two eight eight two, we would love to chat with you about it and hear what you think about it. And know that we know that it's a transition and for some of you might take a little bit of getting used to. But we're we're excited about it and it will be I think something we all look back on and say, this is kind of a it's fun. It's a fun thing. It's a fun thing to get to have a relationship with this band this way and to have a sound that will be associated with us in my neighborhood. Buck, I sent you this video. We had a nineties tribute band come out and play here in here in Nashville, And the very first nineteen nineties song that the tribute band played was My Own Worst Enemy, And so I took I mean, there's you know, several thousand people at this event. It was great out here in Franklin, and I took a video of it. And actually in downtown Franklin, probably a couple of months ago, I was at a charity event and Lit came and played my own and Worst Enemy, and the entire place just went crazy. So I know, everybody's got different musical interest and different musical taste. And when you came of age, you may think is the greatest music of all time, regardless of when you came of age. So for Buck and I, the nineties are basically the best era of music that ever exists. You know, we did a little testing. I mean, I try to convince some maybe my acapella rendition of the Macaino would be a good way to go and that would really fire people up. But apparently, you know, that wasn't really gonna make it quite as effect. I don't think I've told you this, Buck, but I am tone deaf, like I can't. This may not surprise people because I don't necessarily do great when it comes to pronunciations. But I was in chorus in high school and I was so tone deaf in terms of being able to sing that the chorus teacher said, you mouth the words. I've never heard of the chorus teacher doing this before. He stood in front of the bases till he could find out who was messing up the pitch, and he said, you have a good speaking voice. He said, you will announce from now on. In course, you had to take chorus. You had to take an art to graduate. The mind was chorus. He said, from now on, you will announce the songs that we sing, but you will actually just mouth the words. We don't need I have you've ever heard of anybody being told that who's a member of a choral group. You announced you have a good voice, good speaking voice. You could announce what we're going to sing. But you can no longer sing. This reminds me of when I was short for a short period time trying to play ice hockey in the third grade, and they told him, and I told the counselor or the coach that my helmet was too small from my huge head, and it was good and he's like, no, it's not and he put it on my head and he goes, yeah, I know it is too small. You could have been the next Mark Messier. Helmet was a monster issue. I needed a different helmet and I never actually even got it in my ice hockey career. Did last f I think it lasted about three weeks. So yeah, man, we've all we've all got those memories. Clay. I just have never heard of anybody being you know, they always say like anybody can get better. I've never heard of a chorus teacher. Mister Scandrick God rest his soul. At Martin Luther King Magnet in Nashville, there's a lot of witnesses stopped right in front. You could just see his eyes. He was so disappointed Buck that the choral group in the bases when he was standing in front of him were not in unison singing. Well. But I did do a really good job announcing all those songs that year. So we all have our benefits, we all have our talents. But in all seriousness, I'm telling you, the lit guys are super excited and we will do an event. I don't know when it will be, but at some point we gotta we gotta get them to show up and do live, live stuff for us in Nashville. We're talking about, you know what we could do. I need to get them on I need to text them and see what their schedule looks like around the mid terms because we're doing our event in Nashville to celebrate what should be a red tide for the midterms. Need to get the guys to show up and sing my own worst enemy better and better, because we we'd like to give you. We gotta tell you what's going on and what the challenges are in the country. And look, the Biden administrations in charge. There's a lot of stuff that's messed up right now, there's no question about it. But we are planning a midterm election party, not a call in you know, oh, this state that we're going to let other people do that. They can sit there at the decision desk or whatever and they can make their calls. We're going to be rocking out and maybe really rocking out because it is looking like it will at least be a restoration of sanity in the November election. I don't want to get too far ahead of ourselves. But it is looking pretty good right now, and so if we could have lit play there, I mean, honestly, I don't know if there is a band that can transport you to the late nineties faster with a song. I mean, they're right, you know, you're right up there. It's iconic in the way that like Bittersweet Symphony and some of those other great songs songs. We'll play it for you. If it's not already hute up, I hope it is. We'll see if we can play it for you coming out of the next break as we come in for the next segment. If you guys haven't yet heard or not exactly sure of what that song sounds like, it's a choral right that you will hear as we start each of the hours going forward, I believe on Monday. So I just want to let you know where it was coming from, why it was happening the background there. And we continue to thank you guys for supporting the show as we continue to grow and continue to fight the battles that Rush would be fighting himself if he were still with us today on mornings like today, excuse me, I especially look forward to drinking my Black Rival Coffin actually did drink two cups of it this morning.

I'm a big stan of the show. I follow Clay actually from Fox Sports right and I loved him on there, especially during the COVID years. And I was thinking that you guys are thinking about maybe kid rock possibly two. But we did, We did discuss. We discussed kid rock. We kicked around it. And it's just the instrumental that you hear there. And for everybody out there, some people don't pay that much attention to music. Other people pay a lot of attention to it. It's the open of each hour, so you'll hear that instrumental that you just heard to open hour one, hour two, and hour three. And so we listened. I mean, Buck and I Aren Let's be honest, we are not super music people. But when this was expiring, we needed to come up with a new song, and so they had a bunch of different suggestions, and what we wanted to make sure it was that we were not featuring someone who would not like our show. We're never getting I mean, just think about this. You know, even when Trump would play at these arenas they into, they would they would send this annoying letter, don't use that song. So we just said no, no, no, We're only talking to bands that are cool with us, support our values, and quite honestly respect this audience like they're one of you. Lid is one of you in terms of their view of America. So that was a huge, huge win for us in that regard. Blake, We're glad you like it. Good to hear it. Todd in his self described freedom bunker in Nebraska. Hey Todd, Hey Buck, it's so good to hear you again. Clay, hello as well. Thank you. You know there's a tough day. Transitions are hard and they're inevitable, though, so I want to start use by saying quickly made dettos to all of us that have listened to Rush and miss him. I miss him every day and prayers for Catherine. We think of you and we love you, and our hearts are always with you. And I've been a Rush listener since ninety two. Buck, I've been listening to you for years. I'm not an OSS member, but pretty close. Thank you, and you know, I'm just so it's sad and happy at the same time. When Rush passed away, Buck Eye was clearly torn up, but very happy, been more happy to learn that you were going to be in the replacement slot along with Clay, and so twenty minutes ago when the song came on, my city was gone. I'm here with my bass over my shoulder playing it along, dancing with my closest friend in the world, as we always do, get up and dance, and so very sad to hear that news. But at the same time, Guy, I saw lit in concert when I lived in Kansas City in two thousand, outdoor concert in the middle of summer, one of the greatest nights. The stars came out. So what an excellent selection to continue with. And to both of you and all the Rush listeners across America, I want to say, and around the world you know, love you Rush and to YouTube, keep up the fight. We listened every day three hours every day podcast subscriber, and end with shield Tie, Shield Tie, Tom, thank you so much. I'll have to explain that one at some point too. Maybe start working that one into the show. Oss Clay, you know, as the officer Strategic services of listeners. When I started a show that was digital, I was digital first as a radio stream on the Blaze dot com on Saturday's for three hours. Original Saturday Squad was what they call it. So that's what he was referring to there. We want we got more calls, people calling in saying they love lit and they want to they want to weigh in, and other folks I'm sure are gonna be calling in two. But I think unfortunately we're about to hit a hard break and we got we got a big issue to talk about your second which is Title forty two with the ag of Arizona, Mark Bernovich, who's also also in his own race there, so we got we gotta talk to him in a few moments here. Border mess, Clay is this is gonna be one. I think this would be end up being the biggest story in the country in June, alongside the final abortion decision. Those are going to be two very very big stories. No doubt you guys can continue to weighim may take a few more of your calls to close out the show.

We are now joined by the Attorney General of Arizona. He is fighting battles every day for so many people out there in the state of Arizona, including in Phoenix, where we have one of the biggest audiences listening to radio in the country, number one in that market. Attorney General Bernovich, let's just start right here. If and when Title forty two is no longer in force, what do you expect to happen in the state of Arizona And what are you trying to do to fight against the repeal of Title forty two. Well, a tidal wave of destruction will impact our southern border, and it's got nothing to do with climate change. And don't just take my word for the Biden administration that themselves have said that we will see eighteen thousand people a day trying to legally enter our country. And I'll think about it. You have the basketball playoffs going on right now. That's like the equivalent of one of those arenas every single day illegally entering the United States. And you're talking about the price of drugs dramatically falling, impact the social welfare system. Literally, Americans will die, Our country will be forever changed as a result of the lawlessness at our southern border. Title forty two, as you guys know, is one of the only things left for making this crisis even worse. And that's why I was very proud to lead the charge. Our lawyers are in federal court arguing that the Biden administration cannot resend Title forty two at this time, So AJ Burnham appreciate you being with us. What should they put aside what they will do, because I think we all know it's going to be a disaster. But what should they do, meaning an extension of Title forty two until when and until what measures are in place? Right? I mean, that's one part of this discussion that I don't because you can't have Title forty two forever, right, At some point one would think this authority would would have to expire realistically, So I mean, do we have metrics for when that should be and what needs to be put in place so that it doesn't result in the flood of illegal crossing that everybody's expecting right now? Well, once again, put to all in context, is that Title forty two can't be looked at is an isolate since you're right, it was a common sense public health policy, but it's now one of the only tools law enforcement has to deal with the historic portal crisis. So this didn't begin an end with Title forty two. I mean this began literally on the day Joe Biden was inaugurated, when he stopped building the border wall and we had to assue him over that. When you remember when he implemented that what they called temporary and it was permanent guidance where the Biden administration refused to deport people deportation orders more than a million people in this country, including people being released from prisons and jails. We had to assume him over that, and there's been ongoing litigation. I was at the US Supreme Court in February arguing when the Biden administration tried to rescind the public charge rule where they want to give government benefits to non citizens, what I call the incentivization of legal immigration. So the problem is is what we have seen over the last year and a half since Joe Biden took office is a systematic attempt to undermine the rule of law and to undermine all not only literally statutes, but to undermine policies and formal government rules that were implemented that we're actually having a real effect on a legal immigration. So yeah, Title forty two is one of the only it is one tool in the toolbox. It wasn't meant to be permanent, but I think we all recognize that if Joe Biden, Kamala Harris sector of Mayorchas revoked Title forty two. At this time, he is setting up the Southwest for the biggest invasion since the Alamo. What are you seeing on the ground in Arizona as we get basically six months out from the mid terms, What do you expect for Arizona, which is a huge battleground, to look like come November eighth. Well, it's someone that grew up here in Arizona, you know, and I've lived here. I still live in my same neighborhood I grew up in. If people want security, it's all about security, and that means border security, in economic security, and folks here, you know, wherever they live in the state, recognize that. Whether it's at the gas pump, whether it's at the grocery store, or whether it's the gangs that have increased their presence in our neighborhoods. This is all a result of the failed policies of Joe Biden. Secretary of ma Orchis Kamala Harrison Cartel Kelly, and so I think there's a lot of great anger and frustration with what's going on, and really when it comes to especially security, border security, and this is when the federal government's at its apex of power, where the president is supposed to be protecting us and guarding us, and instead we're not only seeing a record amount of people legally cross the border, which strains our social services, we are now seeing a dramatic decrease in the price of fetinol, in the price of methanncetamine. And I will tell you the former gang prosecutor. We know is the cartels make more money off drugs, they become more powerful, and we know that more people are going to die. Someone's niece, nephew's son, daughter is going to die as a result of the flood of methanncetamine. It's coming not only into Arizona, but it's also spreading throughout the United States. And so we talk about security, safety in our neighborhoods, and we talk about the ability of hard middle class neighbor Americans to be able to fill up their car with gas and not have to take out a college loan. Speaking to Attorney General Mark Bernovich for the State of Arizona, mister Attorney General, tell me what could be done to clean up the situation. I mean, you mentioned the cartels, you mentioned fentonel overdoses one hundred and seventy one hundred and seven thousand overdoses fatal overdoses nationwide last year. I'm sure tragically a large percentage of fatal overdoses occurred in Arizona as it's along the border. So how do you crack down effectively how you're talking about safety? People need safety? What would you do or what you know if you were to win a Senate seat, for example, what would you like to see change? Well, hey, I'm going to win the Senate seat, and we need to have a realistic and holistic approach. And so one we look at what's going on with our judiciary and even the Supreme Court, making sure that we appoint and confirm judge is that understand the rule of law and that they're not there to be policymakers, but they're there to enforce the law. We need to make sure that we are supporting our law enforcement officials and that means making sure that you know, we don't demonize them and that we don't try to stigmatize people that are just doing their jobs. And we need to make sure that we have the resources and the willpower available to enforce existing laws when it comes to our southern border, and so that literally means we've got to deport people with deportation orders. We have to make sure that we continue to build the border wall, we have to make sure that we're you know, especially the local level, the state levels I've done as prosecutors. We want to make sure that people that break the law are arrested and punished, and that we have a judicial system that enforces the law as it's supposed to be. And so I think that part of the problem we've had is that you send people to Washington, DC that just want to get reelected and they want to continue to grow the side in the scope of the federal government. And the next thing, you know, we have the federal government, for example, involved in education and trying to ram critical race theory down our kids throats. And that's not the role of the federal government. But when it comes to issues like border security and national security, that is where we need the federal government to focus it's time and resources. Turn in general, Mark Bernovitch of Arizona and SENTI candidate, appreciate you being with us, sir. Hey, thanks lock guys. Hey, what about my walk up music? What would you pick, Oh, I don't know, like maybe some grateful debt or a rush line like kid Rock. Do you ever have you ever gotten a cease and desist? Because I know this happens to a lot of politicians when you're doing rallies and you use music that you like, but the politicians, I mean the musicians decide they don't like you. Has that happened to you or have you heard of that happening in Arizona? No? But I think the key is you gotta go with folks like Toby Keys, Kid Rock or the Grateful Dead where they don't get hung up on that or Lords example, which is why we that they're going to love this music for decades to come. I was gonna say, we can send him a playlist, but you know, it's like I'm burning him a CD or something, Hey burning for you. That'd be a good walk up song. But yeah, maybe the boister Coults would stop me from playing it. I don't know. So all right, ag burnavitch everybody, thanks for hanging with us or good to talk to you?

Clay, You I didn't like you know, I will say I did enjoy the My Week with Marilyn movie. I thought that was that was good for what it was. It was a pretty entertain Did you see that movie My Week with Marylyn? I have not seen it. No, Oh, it's very good, very well done. Actually, I'm a I would recommend that it was better than I thought it would be good date movie. Yeah, you know that kind of thing. But you're Marilyn Monroe, his history buff. I guess well. I saw this circulating. I thought it was interesting, So I'm a history nerd. And one of the most iconic moments of John F. Kennedy's presidency is when Marilyn Monroe saying Happy Birthday to him. It has now been to sixty at the anniversary. This happened sixty years ago today, and we actually had a debate about whether we could play this or not. I put my lawyer had on. This is a historically relevant moment in American history. Those of you who remember, I wanted to give you a little bit of taste. Here's what it sounded like. Marilyn Monroe. By the way, we're talking about how tone deaf I was. Maril Monroe not tone deaf. Here's her birthday singing to the president. Hassy's birthday took day, mister President, Puppy's firsday. Let me just say this as a marriage as a married man, I don't know how JFK didn't get killed by Jackie Kennedy as soon as that happen. I don't know how that didn't happen because there's a lot of married men out there. If I don't even know who the equivalent today of Marilyn Monroe is, can you think who the equivalent There's nobody. There's nobody on that level of fame, iconic female, you know, beauty and sensuality and that at that No, I mean she was, she's kind of the first. She's kind of like the she's like the beatles of um, you know, female by herself. So yeah, that that had to be an awkward return home to the White House for John F. Kennedy Jr. JFK. I would think as a married man, I don't think that probably went very well. Just just for just for the record, the media was a very different world back then. They covered up for so much about JFK's personal life is problems, the use of different substances is uh, we could dally and different. I mean, they covered up, but they covered it. They didn't even did they knew about stuff. And they're like, oh, we're not going to talk about that because we want people believe the fact that FDR couldn't walk And this was a totally different Why when people the whole self serving narrative of journalism as truth tellers who stand athwart pour. The history of American journalism is actually the opposite of that. For the most part, it is usually cozying up to and doing the bidding of power, particularly when it comes to political journalism and people with access to the White House, because you know, there was a time when if you weren't with a you know, a major news organization, didn't have access, you couldn't even get your your thoughts out there anyway, So everyone was playing the game man, and they covered up JFK. I mean, you know, a lot of problems, a lot of problems, by the way, seventy nine percent approval rating because the media covered up, because they covered it, because then they want us to go back to that. If the media had their way, America would be seventy nine percent approving of Joe Biden. As we can't find baby formula and we have the worst worst economic crisis happening right now since two thousand and eight. Um. Anyways, you can see but see Clay who took us to the happy place, and I got all it's because I can't speak today, so I'm I'm in a little bit of historical relevancy Clay wanted to make it like a light historical ed nigam, halt you over here because I need to gargle salt water and I can barely speak. Stephen in Allentown, Pennsylvania's got some thoughts. What's up Stephen? Playing books? Shield time shield tie, Sir. I gotta say, Um, I miss Rush. But if there was ever any dynamic duo that could that can continue on with the good work for the God, bless you both. You're doing it. You're doing a bang up job though the bands, you know what. I love that, And I gotta say, And it wasn't easy for me at first because I grew up in Ohio and Chrissy Hines and the Pretenders. When I would hear that, come on, I mean I played high school football at Hoover High in North Canton, Ohio, and I always identified, even though I live in Pennsylvania now, I always I find that to a time in my life that you know, you only get once. Yeah, thank you for the call. Look, I think a lot of people, Um, you know it's gonna be partly generational. And Buck and I are a little bit younger. And that was a song that to us evokes an era that we thought was a was a pretty good one and I just love I mean, in this era where musicians are constantly saying, if you don't share my politics, I don't want you to share my music, we wanted to make sure that we found somebody who fit the political moment. Randy in I think it's Maxwell Nebraska. Randy Hey, it's an honor to be on. We appreciate lifelong democrat. But I enjoyed the show. All right, we'll take it. No, you know, you could have went with your bumper music forget me, I'm over. I am dealing with about a COVID and that's no joke. But anyway, you could have went with your bumper music of chocolate, but Lid is great. You could have went with Blink one eighty two or Goldfinger, but Lid is great. You know, the Tonight Show was an iconic theme with Johnny Carson that theme song for like twenty five thirty years, and then when it changed to Jay Leno, he changed the music, so the pretender thing go to rust with Rush. Well, thank you, by the way, And look, we could have come on at the very start and said we demand everything about the show change Buck and I did not in any way believe that that was appropriate. So a full year of honoring Rush's legacy by continuing to play his theme music. And I think Buck's analogy is a good one of retiring the jersey. I mean, this is a song that will forever be connected to Rush, and we honor his legacy every day by fighting the battles that he would still be fighting if he were here. And I think he would be happy that we have selected a band that was a big fan of his. I mean, they loved listening to the show, and Buck and I wanted to make that certain when we picked a new song, that it would be somebody who honored the legacy of Rush, end of this audience, end of the show. Yeah, they were Rush fans as well as people that listen to this show now. So we managed to find a band with both, which was pretty amazing when you think about how far left most of the entertainment media and music world is. So we're really fortunate, We're excited about it. We appreciate all of you given us. First of all, this this whole year of listening. I am going to go rest my voice. Clay is going to go take care of the family and we will be back with you tomorrow, ready to rock.
