Daily Review with Clay and Buck - Nov 6 2025

Air Traffic Out-of-Control

A deep dive into the aftermath of the recent elections, highlighting Republican challenges in Virginia, New Jersey, and New York City. Clay and Buck analyze what these results mean for the GOP moving forward and stress that Donald Trump remains President, with Republicans holding majorities in Congress. They discuss the booming economy alongside persistent inflation and affordability issues, noting how Biden-era price hikes continue to impact Americans.

A major focus of this hour is the ongoing government shutdown and its ripple effects on air travel. The hosts break down Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy’s announcement of a 10% reduction in flight capacity across 40 major markets, citing outdated air traffic control systems and staffing shortages. They emphasize the critical role of air traffic controllers and warn of growing public frustration as travel disruptions mount.

Reagan's Warning

Updates on the FAA’s plan to cut air traffic by 10% at 40 major airports amid the ongoing government shutdown, with reports that the Trump administration may impose an additional 4% reduction in flights. Clay and Buck warn that these disruptions could peak during Thanksgiving travel, historically one of the busiest travel periods, and predict that mounting frustration among travelers may pressure Washington to resolve the shutdown quickly.

The discussion then pivots to cultural commentary, including a nostalgic look at Ace Ventura: Pet Detective, highlighting how its humor and themes would never pass today’s Hollywood standards. From there, the hosts analyze the New York City mayoral election, focusing on Zohran Mamdani’s victory speech, which starkly contrasts Ronald Reagan’s famous warning about government overreach. Mamdani’s pledge that “no problem is too large for government to solve” sparks debate about progressive governance and its impact on New York’s budget, especially given that 1% of residents pay 50% of city taxes. Buck predicts that Mamdani’s policies will accelerate financial strain and potentially drive out high earners.

Nonsensical Women

Katie Miller, host of the Katie Miller Podcast, joins Clay and Buck for a candid conversation about the New York City mayoral election, progressive politics, and cultural contradictions. Katie critiques Gen Z voters and liberal women for supporting candidates who oppose their stated ideals, such as women’s rights, while embracing policies like open borders that lead to rising crime. She warns that America is trending toward the UK’s failed immigration model and calls out the hypocrisy of progressive movements like “Trans Rights for Gaza.”

The discussion shifts to gender politics and women’s sports, spotlighting a shocking story from the National Women’s Soccer League, where a player was vilified for saying women’s soccer should be for women. Katie argues that liberal white women are undermining women’s rights to virtue signal, while magazines like Glamour glorify biological men as women. The hosts also touch on cultural flashpoints, including Sidney Sweeney’s refusal to apologize for a controversial ad, and debate why society shames traditional femininity while celebrating woke narratives.

Katie then addresses the broader cultural battle: encouraging young women to value motherhood and family as much as careers. She argues that Republicans fail to promote the importance of raising children and building strong marriages, noting that societal praise for workplace success overshadows the critical role of stay-at-home moms. Her message: being a mom is a “civilization-building” career that deserves equal respect. The conversation turns political with outrage over Virginia electing Jay Jones as Attorney General, despite his violent rhetoric wishing harm on political opponents. Katie calls this a dangerous sign of partisanship eclipsing basic decency, warning that Republicans face growing hostility in blue states.

What Do YOU Think?

Clay and Buck then pivot to breaking news on the government shutdown’s impact on air travel, sharing Clay’s email from Delta about flight reductions at 40 major airports and United’s preemptive cancellations. They urge listeners to prepare for holiday travel chaos as staffing shortages hit air traffic control.  Economic concerns dominate the latter half of the hour. A podcast listener challenges Trump to focus on fixing inflation rather than blaming Democrats. Clay and Buck explain why inflation is “embedded” and compare today’s struggles to the Reagan era post-Carter. They predict economic recovery by mid-2026 but stress that prices won’t return to 2019 levels. 

The hosts also explore structur

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome in everybody.

Speaker 2 (00:01):
First day edition of The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton
Show kicks off right now, and we're still settling in
on those election results a little bit. We're still getting
used to the reality for our fellow Americans and New
Yorkers that they got a tough road ahead.

Speaker 1 (00:23):
With their soon to be mayor. But it's gonna be
all right.

Speaker 2 (00:26):
As we said, Also, Virginia, New Jersey close, but no
cigar in New Jersey. Virginia a blowout, but it's okay.
It's okay. We move on where we move forward. Remember
Trump is still the president. We are still a majority
in the House, in the Senate, and it has been
We're in November. We're getting close to when I can
say this, and I'm not going to be all sappy

(00:47):
about it, Clay, I'm not going to get all saccharin
here on the air, but I do think this is
one of the best years overall overall in terms of
policy achievement, direction of a president's see that I can remember.
The economy is booming. There are problems and we should
address those. There are affordability issues, There are inflation, really

(01:09):
lingering inflation issues. Right, It's not that inflation keeps going up.
It's that prices rocketed up, thank you, Biden. And as
Clay has said many times, it's true, once they go up,
very hard for them to come down for a whole
bunch of reasons. So they tend to continue to go
up over time. So we've got that to work through and.

Speaker 1 (01:30):
We'll discuss it.

Speaker 2 (01:32):
We've also, Clay still got a shutdown happening, which I
have to say, the shutdown better end soon. They better
shut that down because people are going to really get
frustrated with some of what's going on here. The lack
of air traffic controller is able to come on the job.

(01:53):
They're not getting paid, And I can understand this. You're
doing a critical job as an air traffic controller.

Speaker 1 (01:59):
It is a critic job, by the way.

Speaker 2 (02:00):
It's one of those things where you want really good
professional air traffic controllers, no question about it. You know,
play the biggest airline disaster in history in terms of casualties,
not including nine eleven, was a terrorist attack. The biggest
airline disaster in history was really an air traffic control issue,

(02:21):
and it was on I want to say Tenerife Island,
you know, one of those like islands in the Atlantic
and it was two jets that one was taking off
and one was taxiing. Oh no, and they hit each other.
My point being that was a long time ago. But
if you checked that one out, Producer, Greg, do a

(02:41):
quick one, a quick number on that one, because it
was horrible. It was hundreds and hundreds of people lost
their lives in it. Air traffic control is really important,
is my point. And we want air traffic controllers to
be paid, yes, sir, And.

Speaker 1 (02:53):
We've got to cut on that because they have announced
that we are going to have a ten percent reduction
in scheduled flight capacity at forty different high traffic markets.
This is yesterday, Sean Duffy letting us know that that
is now out. And so I would encourage all of
you out there to make sure that you are closely

(03:16):
following if you're traveling. I'm traveling tomorrow. I'm already presuming
that getting out of New York City is going to
be a disaster. Buck. But Sean Duffy, Transportation Secretary here,
he is talking about it.

Speaker 3 (03:27):
I anticipate there will be additional disruptions, there'll be frustration.
We are working with the airlines, they're going to work
with passengers. But in the end, our sole role is
to make sure that we keep this airspace as safe
as possible. The Administrator is going to talk about all
of the tools we're going to deploy. One of them, though,
is going to be that there is going to be
a ten percent reduction in capacity at forty of our locations.

(03:52):
The administrator is going to tell you that it's been
This is database. This is not based on what airline
travels has more flights out of location. This is about
where's the pressure and how do we alleviate the pressure.

Speaker 1 (04:06):
I mean, this is going to be a mess, Buck,
It is going to be a mess.

Speaker 2 (04:10):
By the way, it just has a fact update here. Yeah,
I was right. It was Tenerifee and Klay. This was
back in nineteen seventy seven, five hundred and eighty three fatalities,
worst airline disaster, not including nine to eleven, which was
man made terrorism, but worst airline disaster in history, and

(04:30):
it was taxiing on the runway. My point being air
traffic control. We all want them to be staffed, paid
and really good. And one problem we've already seen, and
this is from a lot of what Secretary Duffy has
been saying about this is that the air traffic control
system is really outdated. It needs to be fixed in general.

(04:53):
So now we're taking an outdated system, putting additional strain
on it because of personnel, because Chuck Schumer does an
want the left wing base of his party to be
able to mount the challenge against him.

Speaker 1 (05:04):
I mean, when you start.

Speaker 2 (05:05):
To add up what's going on here, it is gross.
Oh by the way, Nancy Pelosi's not running speaking about
a great year in American politics. That's official too. She's
out at eighty five years young.

Speaker 1 (05:16):
So there you go. That's at least one positive. Trump
has reacted to that already in typical Trumpian fashion. And look,
I think this air traffic issue is going to start
to get people angry on a level that maybe they
haven't been before, if that makes sense. I mean, we're

(05:39):
going to be talking about disimpacting everybody. We shared and
talked about the video of Houston, which I'm told is
already always has a major issue there. But three and
a half hours, four hours for TSA. I bet a
lot of you if you see a line that long,
just want to turn around and go back home. And

(06:01):
I think the anger over this is going to grow now.
There have been some reports Buck that Democrats were emboldened
by their wins in Virginia and in New Jersey and
in New York City and have decided to be more
aggressive in demanding some sort of changes. Trump obviously has said,

(06:23):
let's go ahead and in the filibuster because the reason
why we have this shutdown right now is we have
to get to sixty votes. And right now I don't
believe we've gotten passed fifty six I think or fifty seven.
There are at least three or four more Democrats who
need to vote to open back up the government. We'll
see whether the final results coming down will get things fixed.

(06:47):
My bet would be that we would have some sort
of resolution by early next week. I don't know where
you are on this, but that could grow faster. And
here Trump on cut thirty buck to build on that
is super angry about the shutdowns that appears, and he
wants drastic action. There were reports that he talked to

(07:07):
the Senate Republicans yesterday and said it's time to end
the filibuster. This has been an ongoing debate for basically
as long as I can remember politics existing. Here is
cut thirty, Trump saying, once and for all that's in
the filibuster.

Speaker 4 (07:23):
I think that if we got rid of the filibuster,
we would approve so many good things, common sense things,
wonderful things that it would be hard to beat us.
If we don't, it's always going to be a slog
So I do say this. I would say, absolutely, without question,
I have no doubt in my mind get rid of it,
and the Republicans should do it. But they have a
number of Republicans that don't agree. And you know what,
it's a question, do I want to lose my relationship

(07:46):
with those Republicans that have been very good to me
for a long period of time, that voted against the
crooked Democrats on impeachment and everything else. Do I want
to lose them over it? I think it's a very
important point. Do you ever have people that are wrong
but you can't convince them? So do you destroy your
whole relationship with them? And I'd be close to losing it,
but probably not.

Speaker 1 (08:04):
That's really funny working through all that. Buck my general
position on the filibuster, we talked about it earlier. I
don't want Democrats to suddenly be able to add Puerto
Rico and Washington, DC, if they have fifty votes plus
the UH plus the President. I don't want them to
be able to expand the Supreme Court. I get the frustration.

(08:27):
I personally am not in favor of ending the filibuster.
I don't know what your take is, because eventually it
ends up blowing up on you. This is the this
is the I wish I could take the counterpoint to you,
because it's more fun to argue with you. But on
this one, we would our team Trump would use it
to try to push policies that then people can judge

(08:50):
the effectiveness of or not. And his thing is, I
would do such good things that the American people would
be so in favor of dot dot dot. Democrats once
the filibuster is gone, will do exactly what you're talking about,
which is permanently stack the deck so you will have
no more Trump like administrations, you will have no more

(09:13):
Republican administrations. And that then becomes the challenge.

Speaker 2 (09:18):
Now people might say they're going to do that anyway
when they have a majority. That's fair, But you know,
it's a little bit like nuclear deterrence right now, right,
I mean, you know, do you really want to fire First,
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (09:31):
They're going to be more diabolical. I think they can
do things that are more detrimental. And I just named three.
Imagine what the impact would be if Puerto Rico becomes
a state and they get two Democrats, Washington, d c.
Becomes a state and they get two Democrats and they decide, hey,
instead of having nine Supreme Court justices, we should have thirteen.

(09:52):
And the new Democrat appointed, the new Democrat president appoints
suddenly for Supreme Court justices, and everything changes. The reason
why the filibuster makes sense, in my opinion, is it
stops crazy exaggerated movement. Sometimes the crazy exaggerated movement can
be in your favor, sometimes it's going to be on

(10:13):
the other side. And honestly, this already kind of blew
up on Democrats with the Supreme Court. As One thing
Mitch McConnell got right was they essentially eliminated the filibuster
for Supreme Court justices, and they when they did it,
to allow the justices to get through with just a
majority vote. That was what McConnell said. And the Democrats

(10:36):
certainly have lost out to the Republicans when it comes
to justices as passing with a bare majority. Since they
passed that law, so change that law. I think you
have to be very careful adjusting long precedent for expedient
current events.

Speaker 2 (10:52):
One thing to be reminded of though, is that Clay
the Democrats shot first, so to speak. On that Harry Reid,
Democrats decided and then had to live with the reality
when things change. But then the Democrats were claiming, oh,
the Republicans did it.

Speaker 1 (11:07):
Of course, of course, right, so that.

Speaker 2 (11:09):
Well, and like we're like, guys, if you do this,
we're going to do this. They did it, and then
when we did it, they said, why are you doing
it first?

Speaker 1 (11:16):
Well, this is also one of the great challenges of
communication in general. Democrats shut down the government. This is
their choice, but lots of people out in America believe
that Republicans are the ones who shut down the government.
So they say, wow, Republicans are in control of the
House and Senate, but yeah, you got to have sixty
votes to be able to move anything, and Democrats are

(11:37):
the ones that won't allow things to move. But a
lot of Democrat base voters believe that it's actually Republicans
to blame on this issue. So yes, they will just
lie no matter what. But I think they are more
diabolical than Republicans are. And so if you end the filibuster,
then there will be I think worst results for Republicans

(11:59):
ahead in any benefit you get in the short term.

Speaker 2 (12:02):
But to be fair Trump, let's say he ends the filibuster.
Obviously it would be the Senate. But if he says,
let's do this, guys, and they go along with it,
we seize Greenland, They're not gonna make a peep. We'd
say Greenland is now a state. We fill it with maga.
You know, we tell all we we have a like

(12:22):
an all hands on deck MAGA from I got a
bunch of New Yorkers that would probably move there right now.
Who are Republicans? Yeah, and you know, I mean we
could stack the deck too. We we grab Greenland. What
was the other one? He's thinking, we don't want Canada
too many Panama Canal.

Speaker 1 (12:40):
We sees the Panama Canal. Trump maybe crowns himself king
for life. I don't know. Libs cry here's a fun question.
Here's a fun question for you. Building on that, how
many different seizure of territory plans do you think there
are in the Pentagon right now, and how many different
countries like that just warp, you know, sort of warp game,

(13:02):
like if heg Seth wanted to Is there a America seeses?
I think certainly there is Greenland, Iceland, Canada.

Speaker 2 (13:12):
We invaded Grenada, Yeah, okay, so this is like, you know,
invading a meeting of the rotary club down the street
or something. I mean, this is like we invaded Grenada.
So I'm sure we got plans to do it. So
how many countries do you think we have planned?

Speaker 1 (13:26):
Venezuela for sure, Like there's somewhere it's culled, you know
right now, socio political flashpoints, defend Taiwan. I'm sure all
that's game planned out. I would like to know the
most unexpected country that we have plans if we had
to take it over currently at the Pentagon, that would
be a big question. I still think Greenland you will

(13:47):
be ours. Oh yes, you will be ours just a
matter of time.

Speaker 2 (13:52):
In an ideal situation, my friends, in an ideal situation,
everything is planned out, including you know, what goes on
in your life. But pregnancies happen, and for a lot
of women out there, there's an unplanned pregnancy that occurs,
they're scared and they're getting pressure, and the pressure is
often go to a planned parenthood clinic and quote take
care of it. And that's so sad. We don't want

(14:14):
that to happen. And that's why Preborn is there for
all of us who are pro life, to save the
lives of tiny babies and to help these mothers bring
their children into this world. I want to share the
story of Victoria because Victoria found herself at a planned
parenthood facility. She was scared and confused, and they gave
her the abortion pill. But she knew that would be
a tragic mistake. So she went to a preborn clinic

(14:38):
and they said, no, no, let's have you meet the
baby in your womb. They showed her via ultrasound, the
little heartbeat, the little head, little hands, and guess what
she had, a beautiful baby girl. Twenty eight dollars. Twenty
eight dollars is what it costs to give that free
ultrasound to women and clinics across America right now. Preborn
clinics there saving lives and giving love and support to

(15:02):
these women in a difficult situation. I went to the
preborn clinic here in Hialea, Miami. And let me tell you,
it was powerful. And I met some of the little
girls who are here in this world today, actually boys
and girls here in this world today because their moms
went into a preborn clinic. So it's a great time
of years. We're getting up on the holidays and thinking

(15:22):
about donations and giving to give to preborn. Twenty eight
dollars would be fantastic if you can dial pound two
fifty and say the word baby on the phone. That's
pound two five zero from your phone, say the word baby,
Twenty eight dollars would be great. Some of you are
high rollers. You own your own business. Maybe you own
a whole bunch, you got a franchise, You got money
to spare. You can make a twenty eight hundred dollars

(15:45):
donation and you might save one hundred babies lives in
the process, and it's tax deductible. Twenty eight hundred bucks
for some of you, twenty eight dollars for most of you.
Whatever you can spare, dial pound two five zero, say
the keyword baby, or get a preborn dot com slash
buck preborn dot com slash buck. Do it now because

(16:05):
life Matters. Sponsored by preborn.

Speaker 5 (16:09):
Making America great again isn't just one man, It's many.

Speaker 1 (16:23):
We are rolling through the Thursday edition of the program.
Big story right now is that the FAA is looking
to reduce air traffic by ten percent at forty different airports.
CNN says the Trump administration is considering a four percent

(16:44):
cut overall in the number of lights. This is potentially
going to be the thing that gets the government shutdown fixed. Buck,
I think is when a lot of so called normal
people trying to go about their day to day existence
show up at the airport and can't manage to go anywhere.
To say nothing of Buck, the fact that Thanksgiving is

(17:07):
typically the busiest travel time of the year. Basically, I
know Christmas travel season is substantial as well, but there
are more days that people travel on for holiday travel
around Christmas. The Thanksgiving holiday is more compact, as makes sense,
and so I would just say, in general, put a

(17:28):
safety pen in this. If you, like me, are going
to be traveling tomorrow, I would say, be hitting refreshed
quite frequently to see what might or might not be
happening with your air travel. And I don't know about you, Buck.
If I didn't have to travel, if I'm out there
and I'm like, hey, I'm thinking about taking this trip,
but maybe it makes sense to go another, I would

(17:48):
cancel it. I just there's nothing worse than being stuck
in a place that you don't want to be, waiting
to see whether you're going to be able to get
on an airplane or not. Hotel fill up you can't
have to consider, especially if you have kids, you have
to consider trying to sleep somewhere that you don't want
to be. Inevitably, for all of you have had this happen.

(18:11):
If you have an evening flight, they try to schedule
you for a flight at five thirty in the morning
or something, so they don't tell you your flight's canceled
till eleven, and then you got to be back in
like three or four hours. Everybody's miserable. I'm already nervous
about being able to get out of here tomorrow. But
this is the lead story right now on Fox News, MSNBC,

(18:32):
and CNN. Everybody is covering the potential airport related issues.
So I want to update you on all of that,
just make you aware of it as it could continue
to be an issue going forward. We are continuing to
break down what happened on Tuesday. We got a bunch
of you who want to weigh in. We'll take some
of your calls. I would like to say thank you

(18:53):
to everybody who has been buying my book. It came
out two days ago. We got a call Bucks saying
we have been flagged to be surveyed by the New
York Times, which has never happened before. So if you
guys will continue, please to go buy the book. I
think we got a good shot to get on the
New York Times bestseller list. It's really in your best
interest to have a copy of Balls. And if you

(19:15):
know somebody who doesn't have Balls, it's a great Christmas
gift to just say, hey, got you a pair of
Balls for Christmas. But in all seriousness, I think you'll
enjoy it. I also read it Buck, you were saying
part of your Christmas break is now going to be spent.
I looked at my reading of the book is over
six hours now, that probably double the amount of time

(19:38):
that it took at least to make a six hour recording.
You got three days scheduled in the recording studio. Is
that what you've got right now? Yes?

Speaker 2 (19:46):
Indeed, yes, indeed, Oh oh Bucket's Christmas. Think about family
in Santa and trees and all that good stuff, and
you'll tied cheer.

Speaker 1 (19:55):
And three days in your home.

Speaker 2 (19:58):
Radio studio recording the book that you took two years
to write. The things we do for content, my friends,
the things we do to bring you the best.

Speaker 1 (20:09):
And you have to be shameless. I was on Glenn
Beck earlier. Thank you for Glenn Beck. I've been on
Fox News all over the place. I'm gonna be on
with Sean Hannity tonight and so anything on his radio show.
I was on Sean Hannity last night. If you guys
would please go buy it Amazon. Clay Travis type it
in the book comes up. I deeply appreciate it. Okay,

(20:32):
we didn't play Sean. You said he's a sports guy.
Is he a See Yankees or a Mets guy? Or
does he stay out of that because that can get contentious.
That's a great question. I don't know what his actual
sports team affiliations are. I mean he lived or.

Speaker 2 (20:45):
Has he gone full Florida Like now, I guess I'm
supposed to root for the Miami Heat, which still feels
like cheating given the Heat Nicks rivalries of the past.

Speaker 1 (20:54):
But here we are. Yeah, and unfortunately, the Miami Dolphins
are not a NFL franchise that anybody wants to be
rooting for right now. They're kind of a mess. What
were they?

Speaker 2 (21:04):
This was the last time they were good with Dan Marino.
I mean, we have to go back to the nineties.
That's rough.

Speaker 1 (21:08):
They have not found a quarterback basically in thirty years
since Dan Marino, and every Miami Dolphins game you go to,
there's a guy in the number thirteen, Dan Marino jersey
U still, uh, it doesn't. But it's also not really
the Miami Dolphin's fault because the Laces were Out. You
know what movie they would never allow to be made today,
and certainly they would never allow it to be sponsored

(21:30):
by the NFL. Ace Ventura speaking of Laces Out, Uh oh, yeah,
that movie I watched with my kids. They loved it.
But it had Dan Marino in it, It had Don
Shula in it and the bad guy, which would never
be allowed today. Spoiler alert was actually a man pretending
to be a woman. Finkel is Einhorn if you remember

(21:51):
the Einhorn is Finkle if you remember that. Memorable Discoveries
play the soundtrack from the Crying Game When the Revelation Happened,
which is another movie about a lady with a man surprise,
and that would never ever be allowed to be made
these days, that's for sure. I just loved the idea

(22:13):
of if the NFL were involved in a movie that
was considered in any way. By the way, this was
what ninety four ninety something like that. I mean, it
wasn't that long ago, and I'm surprised they still air it.
You know, they have to give trigger warnings now before
all different sorts of Disney movies. I would imagine their
trigger warnings on this thing, probably many different places, and

(22:34):
many of you are triggered in the New York City
era area. I wanted to play this buck because I
flagged it yesterday and we didn't get to it. We
didn't play very much of Mom Donnie's victory speech because
I didn't want to make all of you throw up.
But I did think this was a really kind of
useful contrast. First let's go back to nineteen eighty six.

(22:57):
President Ronald Reagan said his nine most terrifying words were
as follows, cut twenty.

Speaker 6 (23:05):
I think you all know that I've always felt the
nine most terrifying words in the English language are I'm
from the government and I'm here to help.

Speaker 1 (23:15):
Okay, well known Reagan line. Here is what Mam Donnie
said last night, which is a direct repudiation of that
iconic Ronald Reagan line, and it is cut nineteen.

Speaker 7 (23:29):
We will prove that there is no problem too large
for government to solve and no concern too small for
it to care about.

Speaker 1 (23:38):
This is just like he distilled in essence my worst nightmare. Buck.
Let's play that one more time so you guys can
hear it. I mean, because it is a direct repudiation
of what Reagan said, cut nineteen. This is my concern
about New York City. Do you think the government handles
anything well, Mamdannie says, they want to do everything for you.

Speaker 7 (23:57):
We will prove that there is no problem too large
for government to solve and no concern too small for
it to care about.

Speaker 1 (24:07):
This is awful. I think that I read a big
piece in the New York Times. They had their biographical
sketch of Mom Donnie and his campaign thousands of words.
I read it this morning. The only thing I can
say about Mandannie is the hope is that he just
is going to abandon trying to deliver on the vast
majority of the things that he claimed he was going

(24:27):
to deliver on. Yeah, ives CA scenario. That's bad.

Speaker 2 (24:33):
I wish I could say something better about how I
think this is likely to go. I also, you're not
going to see the huge outflow from New York uh.
And I think that's largely because if COVID didn't drive
you out of New York City, I don't think Mom
Danny will. And now that may be also because people
are rooted there in ways that even if they wanted

(24:53):
to leave, it's really hard.

Speaker 1 (24:54):
You know.

Speaker 2 (24:54):
They got their kids in school, their job, their family,
and I get that moving is not as easy as
I happen to be at a place in life where
not only did I want to move, but I had
my then fiance who was also like, let's move to Florida,
and it was all it all felt, It all came
together a lot of people. It's more complicated than that.
This matters though, for the budget of New York City

(25:16):
because a very small percent. It really actually mirrors the
national tax reality, which is that one percent of New
Yorkers pay fifty percent of the taxes. And you can
break it down even further point zero one percent of
New Yorkers pay a shockingly large I don't know what

(25:37):
the figure is, but a shockingly large amount of New
York City's taxes. So it's not just the high earners,
it's really the ultra high earners. And so all the
complaining about millionaires and billionaires that Bernie Sanders and others do.
Without their earnings two tax you can't have the socialism

(25:58):
that these people are advocating for.

Speaker 1 (26:00):
So there we have it. Man, they're gonna learn.

Speaker 2 (26:03):
I think they're gonna learn the hard way about New
York or about mom Donnie rather in New York.

Speaker 1 (26:09):
This was also interesting. This has cut seventeen.

Speaker 2 (26:12):
He very clearly from his victory speech here made this
about Trump play seventeen.

Speaker 7 (26:19):
If anyone can show a nation betrayed by Donald Trump
how to defeat him, it is the city that gave
rise to him. And if there is any way to
terrify a despot, it is by dismantling the very conditions
that allowed him to accumulate power. This is not only

(26:44):
how we stopped Trump, it's how we stop the next one. So,
Donald Trump, since I know you're watching, I.

Speaker 1 (26:57):
Have four words for you.

Speaker 8 (27:00):
Turn the volume up.

Speaker 2 (27:05):
This will all look very funny in retrospect when this
guy has made a complete mess of New York and
is a joke and everyone realizes that he has no
idea what he's doing, because that's what's happened in every
every city that elects some super progressive, you end up
with someone like who's the mayor Frey who just won
and again.

Speaker 1 (27:22):
Barely and he had the barely minabo guy. Yeah, the
guy was crying at the casket. He's in tears at
the casket of George Floyd.

Speaker 2 (27:30):
The guy such a such an absolute clown. Portland, San Francisco, Chicago,
all the all these very progressive mayors are disasters. They
can't point to one who's a real lefty and say, well,
look at what a great look at how awesome that
city is going. No, they always ruin it. So he's

(27:51):
going to make a mess of things as well. But
I think it's worth noting that he's just the mayor
of a city, and he somehow made this for his
audience at least about Trump and the fantasyland stuff too,
about a despot. You know, you wouldn't have crowds of
people cheering for you, you a little twerp if he
was really a despot and they were all scared of

(28:12):
what the evil king would do to you.

Speaker 1 (28:14):
Like they just live in a fantasy land. The whole
thing is make believe. How about Schumer getting asked who
he voted for and not giving an answer. I love
that was Jurassic the juck Schumer is. I mean, if
you just step back and don't overthink it, but you
just take a step back and think about how desperate

(28:35):
he must be every day he's what seventy five or
whatever the heck he is. He should be just comfortably
becoming a grandpa. His time has passed. He has no
resonance at all with his current party, and he basically
just tries to avoid being noticed all the time, despite
the fact that he's sent it minority leader. And I

(28:57):
really think he lives in constant fear that AOC is
going to decide that she's going to primary him, because
he'll get smoked in the primary, and his political career
will be over.

Speaker 2 (29:08):
He's going to run for president, I might add, and
she's going to be I think a top contender for
the Democrats. I don't think she will win the nomination,
but you can just see how we've all you and
I agree here news at the top of the ticket.
AOC as the VP, but she's going to make her
own run, and it's because she represents the real vanguard

(29:32):
of the Democrat Party today.

Speaker 1 (29:34):
The best option that Chuck Schumer has is actually that AOC.
The best option is that she doesn't want his job,
that she thinks his job is not significant enough, so
she's going for the big prize. We'll take some of
your calls and we come back. In the meantime, we
do a lot of things to make sure families are safe.
Having the right self protection tools at home is important.
And umbrella by the door in the event of a

(29:55):
home invasion, it's not going to cut it. I don't
know how many of you have golf clubs under the bed,
baseball bats under the bed. You need a little bit
something better than that. That's what saber can do. It's
non lethal, so if you're worried about using something lethal,
you're worried about the kids getting into the products. You
don't have to worry about that. Here it's the number
one pepper spray brand, trusted by law enforcement, and if

(30:18):
they make it, it's in the Travis home from the
moment you least expect when you might need to use it.
This will help to protect you in a non lethal way.
If you're worried about maybe one of the kids getting
into your products, and you just are concerned one of
the grandkids might find something, you can decide together what
you're most comfortable relying on. We have all of them,

(30:39):
pepper spray, pepper projectile launchers. This will just guaranteed make
your family safer than they otherwise would be kids, grandkids.
Maybe you got kids off at school, maybe you got
granddaughters coming and going from a job. Get hooked up

Stories are freedom stories of America, inspirational stories that you
unite us all each day, spend time with Clay and find.

Speaker 1 (31:19):
Third hour of Clay and book. Get's going right now, everybody.

Speaker 2 (31:23):
We're joined by Katie Miller, Katie Miller podcast rocketing up
the charts all across America, and Katie, I gotta say
happy to see all your success.

Speaker 1 (31:34):
Also just happy to see you.

Speaker 2 (31:37):
Tell that jerk Jenk, whatever his name is, what you
really think of him.

Speaker 1 (31:40):
Over on Piers Morgan Show.

Speaker 2 (31:43):
I saw that you weren't having any of this with
the let's just trash Israel constantly as Jenk does, and
then say that it has somehow nothing to do with
Jewish people. There's Israel Jewish people. These are two separate
entities entirely.

Speaker 9 (31:58):
Can I lose with him? I had a logical argument, absolutely.
Did I have a better logical argument to make. Absolutely,
But when you see someone like him who's like sweating
and can't pull it together, I wasn't thinking very clearly.
But what I can tell you is someone who's funded
by the Muslim Brotherhood and it's a supporter of Hamas.
They typically have only one meaning when they say Israel,

(32:19):
not everybody, and do I stand by everything Israel's done?
Absolutely not. But when those type of people criticize Israel,
they pretty much mean one thing.

Speaker 1 (32:30):
We're talking to Steven Miller's wife, Katie. She's got a
great podcast. We are rolling through the third hour of
the program here, Katie. Obviously a lot of people trying
to figure out what happened in New York with Mom Donnie,
what happened in Virginia, what happened in New Jersey. What's
your take? And how much should we be concerned about

(32:52):
what happened in all those races? And how does it
project most importantly, probably towards the midterms, if at all.

Speaker 9 (33:00):
Does it overly concern me that we lost three blue
states that Trump didn't win, No, of course not. What
concerns me, though, is the number of voters in York
who haven't lived there longer than five years. It concerns
me the amount of gen Z females who are voting
to support a man who won't denounce Sharia law, but

(33:21):
at the same time claim that they're in support of
women's rights. It's just a it doesn't make quite so
much sense to me, guys. I don't think it makes
much sense to you guys either, Why women are gonna
who who are wearing those white like pink pony hats,
those pink hats where they were like in those women
rights supporter marches that we will.

Speaker 2 (33:40):
Clay and I are still trying to figure out, Katie,
what the trans rights for Gaza movement is really all about,
because I think I think they missed a memo on
that one.

Speaker 9 (33:52):
Yeah, I mean, I don't know how many trans rights
there are in Gaza because I think they kill them
all there. But again it goes to the people who
are supporting women's rights are voting for a man who
doesn't support women's rights and doesn't denounce Sureia law. What
has we gone wrong in a country where young women

(34:12):
aren't voting for people who support their own ideals, and
they vote for people who are against the rights that
they are seeking and vote against their elevation. Why are
white men in our country? They are the only group
left who are actually because they see the writing on
the wall. They see that if they don't continue to
support people like themselves, there won't be people like themselves
left in our country. We are definitely becoming a country

(34:35):
that looks a lot more like the UK, the same
country we all left back in seventeen seventy six. You know,
we are looking like a country that has open borders,
that has random Pakistani crime on our streets. And I
saw a man who was killed, who was stabbed walking
his dog in the UK by Afghanis. And that's what

(34:58):
happens when you support open bolne policies. And that's what
you see in New York City, right when most of
the people who supported Montdami in this election just came
to New York City the last five years.

Speaker 10 (35:09):
What is that?

Speaker 1 (35:10):
No, it's totally true. We talked about those numbers on
the show on Wednesday, yesterday's program. We're talking to Katie Miller.
You can check out her podcast video podcast version of
that as well, that is out there everywhere. We were
talking about women being unwilling to stand up for other women.
I don't know if you've seen this story out of
the National Women's Soccer League. It's one of the craziest

(35:32):
stories that I've seen in some time. There is a
biological man that is evidently playing in the National Women's
Soccer League. According to these stories, one of the players
for an LA area soccer team came out and said
something radical Katie. She said, hey, women's soccer should only
be played by women. The Angel City team in LA

(35:56):
then had a press conference where They ripped this teammate
of THEIRS for saying women's soccer should only be played
by women, accused her of being transphobic, which is quite predictable,
but also accused her of being racist because the player
in question happens to be black. Why are women actually
the worst defenders of women's athletics out there? There are

(36:18):
a lot of people like Riley Gaines, they're brave, this
is a vast majority opinion, but the actual athletes themselves
seem intent on eracing themselves. What's going on here?

Speaker 9 (36:28):
Who's the undoing of Western civilization? It is a liberal
white woman. It is the woman who for some reason
feels so sympathetic and empathetics towards other groups that they're
willing to cannibalize their own people. They're willing to leave
their daughters worse off because they would like to virtue
signal for the support of people on the internet. It

(36:52):
quite frankly makes no sense to me, Clay. Why is
it that we can't just say women are biologically women?
Why is it that we want to say that biological
men who don't have a uterus, who don't have periods,
who don't have cycles and play differently, by the way,
when you have different hormonal changes at different time of
the month, those women are not men and men are

(37:15):
not women. You know, if you saw I don't know
if you guys saw this, but Glamour magazine in the
UK had nine biological men on their ow.

Speaker 1 (37:22):
Oh yeah, oh yeah.

Speaker 9 (37:23):
I remember growing up, by the way, I didn't grow
up wanting to be a man. I grew up wanting
to be a women. So I don't know what Glamour
magazine is doing except saying that men are better at
being women than women, which is we have these sports
are doing.

Speaker 2 (37:38):
By the way, we have Sydney Sweeney, who somehow has
become a symbol of I don't know, conservatives the right.

Speaker 1 (37:49):
I would just say Buck a symbol of it's good
to be pretty, and I'm just going to own be
But what I was going to say is the media
acts like she's some partisan figure.

Speaker 2 (37:57):
It's like, now she's just like I'm a hot chick
and I'm using to sell tickets and you know, make
money and a very attractive lady another way of saying this,
And Katie, she is refusing to apologize. This has cut
forty This was during a GQ interview. This is for
the good genes ad that got the left all freaked out.

Speaker 11 (38:16):
Play it the criticism of the content, which was the
criticism of the content, which was basically that maybe specifically
in this political climate, like white people shouldn't joke about
genetic superiority. Like that was kind of like the criticism
broadly speaking. And since you are talking about this, I
just wanted to give you an opportunity to talk about

(38:36):
that specifically.

Speaker 8 (38:37):
I think that when I have an issue that I
want to speak about, people here.

Speaker 1 (38:44):
I kind of like where she's going.

Speaker 2 (38:45):
She's not bending the need they want her to bend
the knee so badly, be like, stop stop being hot
and famous.

Speaker 1 (38:51):
It's not allowed.

Speaker 9 (38:54):
Women are not allowed to be attractive in this country anymore.
It's just this is not happening you see on every
single liberal publication men, because they're no longer allowed to
say that women are allowed to be hot and attractive
if you're white.

Speaker 10 (39:06):
Right.

Speaker 9 (39:06):
That's what this cause coming down to, is Sidney Swingey
in that same interview, says, I was just wearing jeans.
I like wearing jeans. Why is it controversial for a
white woman to put on jeans and be on, you know,
and being an advertisement.

Speaker 4 (39:17):
It's not.

Speaker 9 (39:17):
But at the same time, did you guys see a
Gold's gym where a black woman was in the locker
room just changing and a guy comes in like with
his penis out and she's screaming like, why is the
guy in my locker room? And they kick her out.

Speaker 1 (39:32):
We played that audio and had that discussion, and so
here is the I wrote about this in the book,
and I feel like I understand young men pretty well
because I'm raising three young men seventeen, fifteen, and eleven.
I know you have several kids as well. Your kids
are really young. But one of the big debates that's

(39:52):
out there, Katie, is how do we get young women
to in some way see the world through and a
lens that young men are seeing it through. And doesn't
mean they all have to be Republicans, you know, just
a fifty to fifty split would not be a bad thing.
How do women, young women in particular, get reached with
the arguments that actually make sense. What would you do

(40:15):
if you had a magic wand and they said your
job and part of your I think what you're doing
with your podcast is trying to speak to this audience
how do you reach them.

Speaker 9 (40:23):
The reason I started my podcast was to speak to
these exact women, the women who are not getting married,
who are not having kids, who believe a career is
what they should be doing first and foremost. And I
don't think our country, and specifically Republicans, do a good
job of telling young women that being a mom and
being a wife and raising children is a valued career.

(40:44):
It is an honest, hard, good day's work, and that
going to a job in which you're just paying enough
to make ends meet at the daycare, in the grocery
store is not what life is meant to be. It
is okay, by the way, to dress up and look
pretty for your husband. Is okay to just feel good
about raising little children. It is okay to have a

(41:06):
day where you're just helping your kids be a better
person that day, and you raise better children when you
are home for your children. And I'm not saying that's
a one size fits all magic wand because in some
households that doesn't work. And we should be supportive of
single women who go to work, and we should be
supportive of different households that look differently. But for a
large segment of our population, The reason why so many

(41:27):
young men are lost is because young women stopped wanting
to take care of those young men. They stopped wanting
to be in these marriages at young ages. Right you
look at Travis Kelsey and Taylor Swift. They're getting engaged
in their late thirties instead of their early twenties when,
by the way women's bodies were meant to have kids.
We should be celebrating. We should be celebrating and encouraging

(41:48):
young women to grow together with young men because marriages
and a spouse in a support system, as you guys know,
make it better and means it easier to have a career.
My husband, Stephen Miller, is the most supportive of my career.
He makes it possible for me to have a career
and have young children. But guess what that means trade
offs for both of us. If I'm out that night,
it works, Stephen, it's home giving the kids a bath

(42:10):
and giving them dinner and putting them to bed. We
make sure that our children have a parent home at night.
Is it easy? But his job and my job.

Speaker 8 (42:18):
No.

Speaker 9 (42:19):
But that's what a support system looks like. And they
wish we encourage more young women that being a mom
is more than good enough.

Speaker 2 (42:27):
And I think it's also worth noting, Katie, and everything
you said there is so well put in an important
for a lot of people to hear. No one ever
feels the need to clear their throat and apologize for encouraging. Again,
to your point, it's not one size fits all. It's
not that you know, people can't have different paths and
not everyone's meant to get married or not everyone's meant
to have whatever.

Speaker 1 (42:46):
That's fine.

Speaker 2 (42:47):
But if somebody says, hey, what we really need are
two people working and kids in daycare, and isn't that great?
No one feels the need to apologize or explain anything
about that. They can just advocate for that in our culture.
But if you say, hey, being a mom who stays
home and raises kids, that's a beautiful, worthy, critical civilization

(43:09):
building pathway to people get angry about that. And I
think that says a lot.

Speaker 9 (43:15):
What's you know, what's the male equivalent of giving a
female flowers? Or is just having this conversation? And to me,
it's cooking your husband a loving meal, right, it's taking
the time to show somebody else you care. And unfortunate
in our society when you have two working parents, you
lose that ability to have that loving touch. And so
where you gets lost boys is in a generation of
women that don't see that that important part is valued

(43:38):
and is just as critical by the way as getting
a next promotion or getting a higher pay bump that
you work right, like LinkedIn exists to be able to
cheer someone on in the workplace, that doesn't exist in
a corresponding value to a stay at home mom. Right,
People celebrate you when you have a baby, but there
isn't that same village anymore for when your child has
its first steps, or when you get through a tough day,

(44:00):
or when you cook a really good turkey or chicken
at dinner. Right, And I'm like, man, I killed it today,
But me killing it today on cooking a really good
dinner doesn't get me the same praise from coworkers, because
my coworkers are little children that you know, getting a
killing a presentation or having that next salary increase get

(44:20):
you that same level of praise from our society. And
we should do more to praise moms and to praise women,
because then they would be encouraged to have a career
path that is just raising kids that is that same
level of value and getting paid more, because why in
our society do we only value paying women more as
that's your.

Speaker 1 (44:37):
Worst last question for you, Katie, and we know you're busy.
The results on Tuesday, the one that Buck and I
can't get over is Jay Jones being elected as the
chief law enforcement officer of the state of Virginia after
saying that he'd like to see the kids of his
political opponents murdered, that he would piss on their graves.
I mean, truly vile things. What does it say about

(44:57):
the Democrat Party that they would consider him to still
be electable, to elect him and have him win by
six in the wake of what we already saw happen
with President Trump, in the wake of what we certainly
have seen happen with Charlie Kirk, to endorse violent ideation
like this. That's the one result that I couldn't get past.
You've got young kids, You've got someone who's in the

(45:18):
political arena. What was your reaction to that result.

Speaker 9 (45:22):
I have three young children who live in the state
of Virginia, so you can imagine how sad it is
when you see your neighbors vote for somebody who wishes
the equivalent of my children dead. And what you're seeing
here is when partisanship wins out and when Trump's derangent
syndhm wins out over common decency and being in human decency.

(45:43):
What you're seeing also is when you have bad candidates
and bad campaigns that are run in Virginia and you
just have Democrats who blindly support the Democratic candidate. Because
the bottom line is that when I mean, it is
just really sad to see that people who my neighbors,
both to my left and my right, support somebody who

(46:03):
wishes death upon our family and death upon families who
think like us. I think of Megan McCain, who also
lives in Virginia, and that says that these law enforcement
officers won't stand up for us when people are coming
with the same level of rhetoric and hate and actionable
intelligence that you need as a top law enforcement officer
in Virginia. Why would anyone with children live in Virginia

(46:24):
who think and vote as a Republican's a very scary
time to be in our country. It's a very scary
time to be a Republican. And I think it only
gets worse before it gets better. And we saw that
with the election of Jay Jones.

Speaker 1 (46:36):
Kati, we appreciate the time, good luck speaking to all
the different women out there that I think you can
be incredibly impactful for culturally, and certainly we thank you

Speaker 5 (47:56):
My name c Lays and politics but also a little
comic relief.

Speaker 1 (48:03):
Clay Travis and Buck Sexton.

Speaker 5 (48:05):
Find them on the free iHeartRadio app or wherever you
get your podcast.

Speaker 1 (48:10):
Welcome back in Clay Travis buck Sexton Show. We appreciate
all of you hanging out with us. A lot of reactions,
weighing in, rolling in with people weighing in on a
variety of different topics out there. Let me just start
with this one, Buck, I don't this is not ideal,
But just twenty minutes ago I got an email from Delta.
I'm supposed to fly tomorrow. I bet a lot of

(48:32):
you are going to be getting these. These are the
top stories, by and large on all the television networks.
Dear Clay, Delta is complying with a federal directive to
reduce flights at forty major US airports starting tomorrow due
to air traffic control staffing shortages caused by the government shutdown.
Then they say, hey, your flight might be impacted. Just

(48:53):
make sure you're checking, and they don't give me any info.
So I don't know what I'm gonna be able to
get out of New York. It's gonna be like escape
from New York here. But I'm imagining that many of
you are getting the same emails. And the headline right
now is that United is preemptively canceling hundreds of flights tomorrow.
So I just want to mention that I want you

(49:14):
guys to be on top of it. I ideally do
not want you guys to be doing what I potentially
am going to have to do, which is sit around
at an airport all day. Podcast listener matt AA, this
is something we've heard from a lot of people. I
want to let him make the argument, then Buck and
I will react. Maybe some of you will as well.

Speaker 8 (49:33):
Listen, Hey, gentlemen, you may disagree with what I'm about
to say, and that's fine. But the rosy colored picture
of the country that people have been painting, and especially
in conservative media, is so inaccurate. Gas prices are still up,
cost of living is still up, cost of goods is
still up. And I understand we all know who did it,
but we like the Trump to fix it, not to
tell us who did it. And dancing on the graves

(49:54):
of the Democrats suprematurely was not the smartest thing to do.
If he doesn't want to become a lame duck in
January of twenty twenty seve he really needs to focus
on domestic issues now.

Speaker 1 (50:03):
Okay, so that was a Matt podcast listener. Here's what
I would say. Gas prices are actually down compared to
four years ago. Here, I just I think this is
going to be an issue, and I'm open to what
people would say. You can't fix inflation. This is why
inflation is so awful, pernicious and nasty. Once it happens,

(50:28):
it's embedded forever. And I get it. Everything cost way
too much. But Trump doesn't have a magic wand to
suddenly make things cost what they did in twenty nineteen
or twenty eighteen. This is a function of Joe Biden's
awful economic decision making. I didn't live through it, Buck,
you didn't really live through it, at least not to

(50:49):
be able to remember it. Some of you guys may
remember when you had awful inflation from Jimmy Carter. There
were then a two term Ronald Reagan window. Reagan was
not very popular for the first couple of years of
his tenure because he was still dealing with the fallout
of the economy that Jimmy Carter had created. I think

(51:10):
that there is going to be an element of that
for Trump now. I think by this time next year,
by the summer of twenty twenty six, you are going
to see the economy roaring, stock markets at all time high.
Gas prices are at four year lows. The overall rate
of increase in prices has declined, but it's not going
to go back to twenty eighteen or twenty nineteen. And

(51:31):
I think that's what a lot of people in their
minds are expecting to happen. Yes, it's going to be tough.

Speaker 2 (51:39):
It turns out when you basically shut down whole sectors
of an economy and print money, there are big problems
from that. Yeah, that is unfortunately what we did to
the tune of six trillion plus two trillion. It was
really like a COVID was like a infusion of eight
or nine trillion dollars of dollars without underlying assets, products,

(52:05):
or value into the system. That's really really bad. And
some of us, like yours truly and Clay truly, I
don't know how I would say that we're telling everybody
this at the time, matter of public record, we both
had shows.

Speaker 1 (52:21):
You're both saying this, this.

Speaker 2 (52:22):
Is crazy, it's a really bad idea, don't do this,
and people didn't listen. So once those prices go up,
once the inflation has set in, it is very hard
to turn things around. But the there are some other
there's some structural things that we deal with right now.
And for example, in one area that I'd say the

(52:43):
Mumdani the Mumdani Show, because it really felt like a
show tapped into effectively, was people saying that they have
a raw deal. Let's just say a raw deal for
the younger generation. Now, some of that is whine or whatever,
but it's not make your own coffee and don't eat
out avocado toast or whatever. I mean, that stuff is

(53:05):
very dismissive and that's not fair because I mean, look
at the price of a home nationwide in America in
the last ten years, and look at what has happened
the home price, the amount of money you have to
make before the same home is basically doubled, and everyone
has not gotten one hundred percent race. So we know
that something structurally within the system. We have the people

(53:30):
pulling the levers. Treasury, Congress, all of it did things
that made it harder for those to accumulate wealth and
then assets to do so. And this is something that's
it is a big problem. And when you add on
top of that all these people who feel like their.

Speaker 1 (53:52):
Degrees or not. Oh, do you guys have this one?

Speaker 2 (53:54):
I actually sent this in Alex Karp, who is a Palatiner.

Speaker 1 (54:02):
Did you say Polantier. I don't know Polanier. I don't Palatiner, Polantier.
I know how to read. Well, I'm very literally, but
I don't. I don't volunteer Parenteer. Yeah, Polanier, it's very successful.

Speaker 2 (54:16):
Those like one of the most wealthy, one of the
most valuable companies, like you know, in the world today.
But it's cool whatever. Uh but so yeah, Palaenteer, he's
the CEO of it.

Speaker 1 (54:25):
Guys.

Speaker 2 (54:25):
Let me know if we if we get it, if
we have it, just because I think it'd be better
to hear it from him. But I think, you know,
he says, one of the big challenges that we've seen
is that people have realized that the degrees that they
were told we're going to be really valuable are not
really valuable, and more hard skills and work experience and

(54:49):
things like.

Speaker 1 (54:50):
That are more valuable in the general market place.

Speaker 2 (54:55):
And I just think that there's been a there has
been a shift, Clay. When you and I went to school,
it was the idea was you get into a certain
kind of institution, you go there, you have endless options
at your disposal in that field, right, You're going to
get all these great job offers whatever. But now everyone
has an undergraduate degree in the marketplace that's looking for

(55:17):
these kinds of jobs. It doesn't differentiate you. And people
have all this debt and now they can't afford How
is it like there have been policy mistakes made.

Speaker 1 (55:28):
I think this is also where AI is going to
come in in a massive way. A lot of well
educated people during COVID were very cocky and arrogant. What
would they say when people lost their jobs learned to code?
The jobs that many people who are young, white collar
professionals have grown accustomed to being able to get are
going to be the ones that get eliminated first. And

(55:51):
so your plumbers out there, your roofers, these guys that
work with their hands, they're going to actually have more
economic how are going forward? Which is going to be
I think very interesting to see how it shakes out.
Let's get to a couple more calls. Daniel and Tulsa,
Jonathan and New Jersey called in said he didn't vote

(56:11):
because he didn't think his vote counted. What do you
say to.

Speaker 10 (56:13):
Him, Well, I think I think he's probably right his
own single vote doesn't count. But when you add him
all together, yours mind, you know his, they they start
to make a meal. So when I was a kid,
I used to go fishing as old man was always
there in the neighborhood pond, and he was always keeping

(56:35):
the fish. And I'd catch a little tiny perch and
I'd say do you want it? And he say, yeah,
throw it in the bucket, and I catch another one.
He'd say, I'd say do you want it? And he'd say,
do you need a bean? Don't you like?

Speaker 8 (56:47):
What are you talking about?

Speaker 1 (56:48):
Man, do you the.

Speaker 10 (56:49):
Bean and nobody eats one bean, but you had them
all together and they make a meal. So we got
to just remember, yes, your single vote might not say it,
but everybody's together makes a meal. And that's how we
got to change our society back to, you know, a
god fearing republic that is proud to be who we are.

Speaker 1 (57:12):
Thank you for the call. I just personally, I want
every single person out there listening to us to vote.
I can't imagine sitting around on election day and feeling
like I hadn't been willing to take the bare minimum
time to make my voice heard on an individual level.
And yes, you can sit around and say, well, in general,
how often does the election come down to one vote?

(57:34):
You know, millions of people are saying that, and I
think the answer is regularly.

Speaker 2 (57:38):
I think I think eventually play the fact that you
deprive Curtis Leewa a victory is going to be something
that our audience forgives. You know that your suppression of
the Sliwa vote. You know, so he got seven percent,
it would have been seventy Clay if only you had
shown willing was to put on that red beret. Uh

(58:02):
And by the way, we do have polantier ceo Alex Karp.

Speaker 1 (58:07):
I'm sorry, I love that one, paleer, palatine lander land ceo.

Speaker 2 (58:14):
Maybe maybe there's like a Southern way to say it,
but here's a palenteer ceo, Alex Krp, and he's talking
about exactly what I was just mentioning a moment ago,
about a lot of these young people with these degrees
and how they're feeling play it.

Speaker 6 (58:26):
I think the average you know, Ivy league grad voting
for this mayor is highly annoyed that their education is
not that valuable. And the person down the street who
knows how to drill for oil and gas, who's moved
to Texas has a more valuable profession. And I think
that anoys out of these people.

Speaker 2 (58:44):
I think that's true. By the way, I think that
there's a hey, hold on a second. I went to
Bates College, or I went to Hamilton or Amherst or whatever.
I'm just throwing things out. Whatever the school is. You know,
I went to uh, you know, University of Pennsylvania. Uh,
and I I have a degree in I should have
through in those blanks. A lot of people in New

(59:06):
York City and other cities are finding out that doesn't
matter as much as you were led to believe by
the system.

Speaker 1 (59:14):
And that is true, Clay, It is true. No, I
think that's one hundred percent true. And not only that,
by the way, I'll say a lot of people who
go to law school, for instance, have these sort of
jarring realities between the world you thought you were entering
in the world you actually enter. I've said this before.
I love law school, but it teaches you how to think,
and you get to debate the most significant issues that

(59:36):
have ever faced the country. And then when you're twenty
five years old, after you've run up a couple hundred
thousand dollars in debt, you get slapped by the cold
heart of reality. You're sitting at a desk clicking through
a variety of different documents on your computer screen for
twelve hours a day. You're not involved in a time
to kill. It's not a few good men. The actual

(59:57):
grind of being a lawyer is very different than the
media portrayal of what more you're dumb is.

Speaker 2 (01:00:03):
I'm gonna tell you something. The first time in a job,
like a job job, that I had to be in
a cubicle and realize that like this was my home
for the next nine and a half hours. Had a
mini panic attack. It's like, this sucks. Yeah, I don't
want to do that. Of course it does horrible. I mean,
of course it does. Most jobs are not that much fun.

(01:00:24):
And by the way, nine and a half hours, I
remember sitting in a law firm office and thinking this
could be the next forty years of my life, like
just arguing procedural motions that I don't really care about
for a long time. And look, the jobs can pay decently,
but I think even those jobs are gonna get eradicated soon.

Speaker 1 (01:00:42):
By the way, let's play this. I like Bob. He
has great taste in radio BB Talk Back BB. If
we can, would be fabulous for us to listen to.

Speaker 2 (01:00:57):
Hey Clay through excellent words when you were talking about
coaching and you can only control what you can control.

Speaker 1 (01:01:03):
I thought those were outstanding words. Thank you for remind
us about that. There you go. So while they may
want to take me out because I didn't support sleevea enough,
Bob has got great taste. What sport is it? You
didn't play football? But would you ever coach to a
school that I coached some flag football?

Speaker 2 (01:01:21):
But what I was gonna say, is if you had,
if your profession had to be coach, which sport would
you be the not what you want to do the most?

Speaker 1 (01:01:30):
Would you be the best at coaching? Oh, that's a
great question. I don't think i'd be. I've coached them all,
and I don't think I was very good. I don't
think I was very good at any of them. But
I think probably probably baseball. It depends on the age, right,
because kids today get so advanced so quickly. It doesn't

(01:01:51):
take that long for kids to get better at a
sport now than if you didn't play until you were twenty.
Kids today, by fourteen or fifteen are playing at them
or advance the level than you did yourself. But I
think it's a good question. I think I probably know
football and basketball and baseball the best, but I played soccer,

(01:02:13):
so I think I would probably go I've coached baseball
the most, so I.

Speaker 2 (01:02:16):
Say I coach soccer, and I would say I'd go soccer.
You know why, Clay, You just got to know who
the best players are in the positions, let them do
their thing, and then you get to stand on the
sideline in a fancy European suit and be.

Speaker 1 (01:02:26):
Like, there's a lot less management in the middle of
a soccer game than there is the other games. Calling
plays and stuff like that is actually pretty difficult. Speaking
of calling plays, here's a play for all of you.
It's called prize picks. And this is several different elements
here that I want you guys to be able to
take advantage of. These are all touchdown passes. I am

(01:02:48):
taking every one of these guys to take a throw
a touchdown pass. Buck be careful on this one. His
name is Michael Pinnox. That is Pinnix with an X.
Very easy to miss announce that name, Michael Pennix. More
than one half touchdown. It's a very different bet if
you if you mispronounced that one. Trevor Lawrence more than

(01:03:09):
one half touchdown pass, Bryce Young more than one half
touchdown pass, Tua more than one half touchdown pass, Jackson
Dart I'm in New York more than one half touchdown pass,
and Marcus Mariota more than one touchdown pass. That is
six different players all to throw more than one half

(01:03:29):
That means that they throw one touchdown pass. This is
an ambitious pick that I am making, but you can
play along with us. At prizepicks dot com code Clay,
That is, pricepicks dot com Code Clay fifty dollars when
you play five dollars prize picks dot com code Clay.
