This is an I-Heart podcast.

Welcome to today's edition of the Clay Travis and Buck-Sexton show podcast. Welcome in wherever you may be across this great country or this great land.

It is the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton show, and we are off and running, calling out hypocrisy across the land,

having fun with you guys.

We appreciate all of you.

Don't want to make it seem like we're struggling at a high level, but the show is so hot on day two

that the air conditioner is not working in the studio yesterday buck you made fun of me kind of

because i came in in shorts flip flops i'm a pretty chill guy like a beach vacation this guy

rolled in here unbelievable but today he was prepared my friends it is balmy in the studio

and i got to call you out a little bit we were talking about how there's no mask requirement, basically. We're doing the show from Nashville, which is my hometown. You're a New York City guy. You've been locked down for basically 16, 18 months. I'm a lockdown expert. Yes. And you are staying in a hotel that is at most a half mile from the studio. Yes.

You took an Uber.

Of course.

You were a New York City guy.

You guys walk everywhere.

And in addition to taking an Uber, you got one of the few Ubers in the city of Nashville that immediately mandated you put your mask on when you got in the car, which I got to say, I feel like is basically letting you know that you should be walking to the studio from now. By the way, weather perfect outside, 75 degrees in Nashville in the summer, which doesn't happen that often. And you were in an Uber with a mask on. I had no choice. Got to be polite. Got to make sure that the folks feel like they don't have to worry about COVID, even when vaccinated, even at this stage of the decline of Fauci's.

But can I take us to the world of politics for a moment, Mr. Travis, because I am concerned

that we may be feeling like things are going too well in one area right now.

The Democrats are trying an enormous power grab.

We know this.

This has been central, in fact, from the very beginning of this Biden administration, they've wanted to make structural changes.

They talk about things like statehood for D.C.

And for Puerto Rico, right.
