Speaker 1 (00:00):

and we are certainly glad that you are choosing to
spend the final hour of the week with us. As
we roll into the weekend, Big Super Bowl weekend, I
am down in New Orleans ninety nine to five wr NO,
our fabulous affiliate here Buck in South Florida. As we
(00:50):
prepare for the weekend when much will be going on
to be enjoyed with the Super Bowl, Donald Trump coming
into New Orleans. We will see how all that goes.
We've had some fun, as we often do on a Friday,
Donald Trump ending paper straws CNN investigating a online commentator known.
Speaker 1 (01:11):
As big Balls.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
We have not yet discussed Bill Belichick and his girlfriend Buck,
which is a viral photo that has gone everywhere. We
will get into all that and more. I did want
to give some positivity because I think sometimes amid all
of the crazy maneuvering of a day to day basis
and the rapidity with which the Trump administration is remaking
(01:35):
the government as frankly, we have never seen before in
terms of the impact and how quickly everything is being
put together. Bill Malugin shared, Remember the number one thing
that Trump ran on and pledged that he would take
care of was the border. And you may have noticed
that basically the border is no longer a story. Bill
(01:58):
Malugin shared these numbers. Yesterday, Texas had border crossings of
just three hundred and fifty two illegals. Bill Malugin said,
you know, and he covers the border and has been
covering the border for years. These are just crazy low numbers,
(02:19):
unheard of. To see this, I would have trouble finding
illegal aliens if I went down to the border right now.
And remember, in particular Egle Pass, there were do you
remember back when I know we talked about it on
this show. There were sometimes fifteen thousand people, tens of
thousands of people coming across the border on a daily basis.
(02:43):
For it to be all the way down to three
hundred and fifty two is extraordinary. I also think this
is super important. It has occurred without Congress taking any
action at all. Now that's not to say that Congress
doesn't have an important rule when it comes to border security.
It's just to point out that Joe Biden, through executive orders,
(03:07):
opened up the border, and Donald Trump, through executive orders,
has almost completely closed it. You've been down to the
border before, Buck. When you hear the numbers like three
hundred and fifty illegal border crossings, that when you consider
the scope of the border, that essentially means we have
a secure southern border for the first time in four years.
Speaker 3 (03:29):
Well, it's in part the resources that they're putting down there,
but I think it's an even bigger and even bigger
component of securing that border. As you said, the numbers
tell the story. I mean, it's ninety percent plus drop
in illegal crossings and Trump's only been an office for
a couple of weeks. It's because the word gets out
very quickly. We're in a global information environment. It is
(03:50):
not hard for people to figure out that if you
come to this country illegally, you're not going to be
able to stay right now, if you're trying to enter illegally,
you're going to be turned away. That is different than
what was going on for the four years of Biden's administration.
It's very obvious, and the numbers also speak to that
when you change the incentives, you get different results. And
(04:13):
that is what Trump and the team and DHS under
Nome and Tom Homan, he's doing a phenomenal job. That's
what they have done. And we're just in the early
stages of this too, but it's enforcement at the border,
increased interior enforcement, and an increase in a willingness to
deport people who are scamming the system and who are
(04:35):
public safety threats.
Speaker 2 (04:37):
And again, with all of the things that are being
done right now, I just think it's remarkable. Trump has
already delivered on his promise to shut down the southern border.
He's already begun to take out the illegal and most
violent of the illegals. And you know what's happened. There's
been almost zero discussion about it at all because they're
(05:00):
doing so much now the pivot has Remember they were
all talking about resisting ice and everything else. Now Democrats
are showing up outside of the Department of Education trying
to go into these government buildings because they're so afraid
of the us AID in particular. But I think it's
become an evidentiary point here of exactly how much fraud
(05:22):
and mismanagement there is that's taking place in the government,
and the fact that we're all super lucky that Elon Musk,
who remember, voted for Joe Biden in twenty twenty. We're
not talking about some far right wing ideologue who's trying
to destroy the government, is now decided, Hey, I want
to put my superior intellect to work to try to
save all the taxpayers money.
Speaker 3 (05:42):
Think about this too. They keep attacking him, and now
they're attacking his team, which is just pathetic, but they're
attacking I mean, you know, leave big balls alone, all right,
the guy's got to do what he's got to do.
We don't need people going after big balls. And I
would just say On had done something that was actually
(06:02):
egregious in terms of what he was trying to cut,
we would hear about it. But instead they just say, oh,
it's terrible. He's running amok inside the government. We didn't
elect Elon and all this stuff those that's all noise,
that's all a distraction. What are the cuts that Democrats
want to come forward and say, we need to take
(06:22):
your tax dollars America to fund this.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
They won't do it. I mean, there's a it has
to be all. But what about you at USA? What
about this this agency?
Speaker 3 (06:33):
Tho it's still going to exist, It's just going to
exist in smaller form, wasting a whole lot less money.
Who is in favor of that? You know, the Democrats
are the party of waste is what we're seeing very clearly, waste,
graft and corruption.
Speaker 2 (06:47):
I would point out to them the way that they're
fighting shows you that they never expected their honeypot to
ever really get examined because the money that they are
spending is so massive. When it comes to media that
I guarantee you there are a lot of calls where
they say, hey, you know Politico, Remember we're paying you
(07:10):
twenty thousand dollars a year for Politico Pro. And I've
even seen people out there saying Buck and I bet
you have too, Well, this is money well spent.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
You know.
Speaker 2 (07:19):
They really cover the government. Well, they need access to
these tools to be able. And I'm thinking to myself,
twenty thousand dollars a year. I don't think most people
are aware of how much money it takes to run
a media company, and effectively all of us taxpayers are
(07:40):
subsidizing all of these media companies and guaranteeing they don't
lose money.
Speaker 1 (07:44):
Here's what I would want to know.
Speaker 3 (07:46):
Who was paying for Politico pro that wasn't getting it
subs that wasn't getting it paid for basically by the taxpayer,
meaning what you know, how many political prosins for what
percentage percentage of that government funded? Because to me, it's like, oh,
I've got an idea. We create this thing and then
we promote it for the government to you know, for
(08:08):
government employees who are all Democrats, we're gonna like Politico anyway.
It's not coming out of their pocket and they get
some nifty little special news service that they get to have.
I mean, here here's the thing. I've worked the news
for fifteen years, so of you, I mean longer actually
your case, you've worked in news like from almost the
very beginning, right. I don't know anybody who has political pro.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
I agree.
Speaker 3 (08:29):
Do you know anybody who pays for political pro I
do not know a single human being. I know people
who plenty of people pay for Lexus Nexus, and people
pay for all different kinds of subscriptions for you know,
different purposes for research. You know, I've got a uh,
what's that J store or whatever I think it is
with all the academic articles you know I've got by
(08:49):
the way, that's like you can get a lot of
them for free. But I'm just saying there are things
out there that I know that people have. I don't
know anybody who pays twenty grand a year for political
pro Not a single person I've ever met has said, yeah,
I've got that and it's worthwhile.
Speaker 2 (09:01):
Yeah, just think about I mean, I can't even imagine
being a government employee and being taxpayer funded and in
some way trying to justify twenty thousand dollars a year
for a new subscription.
Speaker 3 (09:13):
I think when you look at the incentives again, you
see what's really going on. The same thing with why
would you buy a Hunter Biden painting for five hundred
thousand dollars?
Speaker 4 (09:21):
Yes?
Speaker 3 (09:22):
Right, the reason you would buy a Hunter Biden painting
for five hundred grand is you want to be able
to leverage that and get favors from or favorable treatment from,
or just be in the inner circle of Biden. And
at the time he was, you know, the most powerful
(09:42):
man in the world basically, I mean the president, even
when it's not Donald Trump, is a very powerful position.
Speaker 1 (09:46):
Right.
Speaker 3 (09:47):
This is why I mean I brought this up before.
Go back and look at this, and Clay I used
to argue with people on CNN about this. I'd say
the Clinton Global Initiative is a scam and.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
Say, no, it's not. It's doing amazing charity.
Speaker 3 (10:00):
Do you know they shut it down the year after
she lost. It was a global charity with hundreds of
millions of dollars flowing through it. I know, there was
like the Clinton Foundation, the Clinton you know, it's all
meant to be able to kind of be fungible and obscure.
The whole thing was a scam. But they shut down
the Clinton Global Initiative the year after Hillary lost.
Speaker 1 (10:18):
What happened.
Speaker 3 (10:18):
Nobody liked charity anymore. Nobody cared about women's empowerment in
you know, in Uganda and in you know, Thailand.
Speaker 1 (10:26):
All of a sudden, like what happened.
Speaker 3 (10:28):
Well, the answer was people were writing checks so they
could get access to and favors from the Clintons. And
so when you look at in the political context, yeah,
of course, if you're a government agency, these are your people.
It's taxpayer dollars. You know that they're not going to
do any deep dives on the agencies that are paying
them huge amounts of money. It's the self licking ice
(10:50):
cream cone man.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
It's the worst and right now, for the first time
in most of our lives, that entire grift may be
in danger of collapsing. And that's why Democrats are up
in such arms.
Speaker 1 (11:07):
I mean, because think about it. All Elon is doing is.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
Saying, hey, I want to try to create a situation
where we don't spend as much money as we otherwise
would be doing. We want for you to be able
to get hooked up and have a better gig. We
got some people who want away in buck. Let's hit
a couple of these talkbacks here in the third hour.
Let's have some fun. Linda says she's never heard of
(11:33):
say anything sexist. We were talking about loading the dishwasher.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
Linda, what do you think I want to say that
I've never found anything that they say to be remotely
Texist period. It's logical boom, I love it is brilliant.
Speaker 3 (11:46):
Is a brilliant lady makes it very logical terms, like
many other women who think in logical terms.
Speaker 2 (11:51):
By the way, speaking of logical terms, my wife texted me,
I told you I was going to be in trouble
during the break after we talked about this.
Speaker 1 (11:58):
It may be.
Speaker 2 (11:58):
Partly she said, OMG, I roll maybe biological, but you're
the extreme for being completely obliit oblivious to all your surroundings.
In any type of mess, you have no idea what's
going on around you. You would be dead if it
weren't for me, because you would be living. You would
be living in filthy Lauren Travis.
Speaker 3 (12:22):
Weighing in, I would be dead off the top, off
the top, roll on the cleiness with that one. I'm
just saying it. Yeah, that was Bill flying. I'll built
in all caps too.
Speaker 2 (12:29):
By the way, Uh Houston listener John says, uh, well,
hold on, let's get to that one in a second.
We got I want to go to what is this
AA whatever the first one was. I believe we had
a good one in there. Can we play that one
as well.
Speaker 5 (12:43):
If you can't cook a steak, make it well done
and make it tender and juicy, then you can't cook.
I don't know where you guys beneath that, but you
can't cook it. So you named may as well stay.
Speaker 1 (12:57):
Away from the steak. Pink equally rare equals wrong. It's
far in lovely.
Speaker 3 (13:03):
My man just going off on us for saying the
well done steak. He's a part of the well done
steak crowd.
Speaker 2 (13:09):
I don't don't even know that the third rail of
well done steak you is coming after us. Here, here's
all I have to say. You're all wrong. You're all
living your lives poorly. You need to go medium rare minimum.
And when you try a medium rare steak, you are
gonna be like, I don't know why. It's like your
world is going to open up around you and you're
(13:29):
gonna question all of your prior life decisions when it
comes to cooking a steak.
Speaker 3 (13:34):
Well, if you're going to a store and you're getting
very inexpensive cuts of red meat, uh, you know, then
it doesn't really matter. It's gonna be kind of tough
in sinewy. You're gonna have to use a lot of seasoning.
You're gonna have to do you know, you're gonna have
to like drive brine it, or you know, put it
in the I forget what you're calling. You know, you
put in like the sauce all day before you cook it.
If you're gonna spend money and get an expensive cut
(13:57):
of meat and you're just gonna cook it way way
up to the well done.
Speaker 1 (14:01):
I love our talkback listener there, but I disagree with
them on this one. I'm just gonna say it. We'll
take some more talkbacks.
Speaker 3 (14:08):
By the way, on the iHeart app, you just press
a little phone button you can leave us a message.
It's a lot of fun. Actually, we love doing it.
We'll else get similar calls this hour as well, because
this is third hour on a Friday. You know, it's
an amazing accomplishment what the team working at the Preborn
Network of Clinics has achieved. In twenty years, this nonprofit
organization has saved the lives of more than three hundred
thousand unborn children on average. That means two hundred babies
(14:31):
each day are brought into this world and saved from
the tragedy of abortion. Preborn operates clinics nationwide set up
to meet pregnant mothers debating whether to bring their unborn
child into this world or seek an abortion. And a
big percentage of these women are contending with unplanned pregnancies.
There under a lot of pressure, a lot of stress.
Preborn welcomes them in with hugs and love and support.
(14:51):
I've been to one of these clinics. I have seen
it myself. I've met one of the little girls who
is alive in part today because mom met the little
girl in her belly via ultrasound provided by Preborn. Preborn
is saving lives day in and day out. In this way,
for just twenty eight dollars, you can help save the
life of an unborn child. One hundred percent of your
(15:13):
donation goes to saving lives. To donate, dial pound two
fifty and say the keyword baby. That's pound two five
zero say the word baby, or go to preborn dot
com slash buck that's preborn dot com slash b u
c K sponsored by Preborn. President Trump is in the
(15:38):
Oval Office. He's speaking right now to the press. Press
conference going on with the Prime Minister of Japan. We're
joining for a second. Let's hear what Trump's saying.
Speaker 6 (15:48):
Venture of some type between Japan and US having to
do with Alaska oil and gas, and that's very exciting.
They're very excited about it. So away as we deepen
our economic relationship, I made clear that the United States
will be conducting trade with all countries based on the
principle of fairness and reciprocity. Chronic trade deficits not only
(16:11):
undermine our economy, they really do, and we're.
Speaker 1 (16:15):
Going to get rid of the trade.
Speaker 6 (16:16):
We have a trade deficit with Japan of over one
hundred billion dollars, but we're going to work that out,
and I think very quickly. Frankly, we can do it.
Just to an oil and gas, we can work it out.
So we intend to do it very quickly. We both
understand that. And as America welcomes new foreign investment, we
also want to ensure that companies build their products and
(16:37):
factories here in America, not simply by the assets that
we have. And Japan is going to be opening up
auto plants. New auto plants are being built currently as
we as we speak. They've just been started. Toyota is one,
and Nissan's going to be doing something very exciting about
(16:58):
about us Deel, I'll be looking at an investment rather
than a purchase.
Speaker 1 (17:02):
We didn't like the idea.
Speaker 6 (17:03):
US Steel is a very important company to us. It
was the greatest company in the world for fifteen years,
many years ago, eighty years ago, and we didn't want
to see that leave. And it wouldn't actually leave, but
the concept psychologically not good. So they've agreed to invest
(17:24):
heavily in US Steel as opposed to own it. And
that sounds very exciting. And we're going to meet with
Nissan next week, the head of Nissan, very great company,
and they'll work out the details.
Speaker 4 (17:35):
I'll help.
Speaker 6 (17:35):
I'll be there to mediate and arbitrate. Then I had
the privilege of working closely with a great prime minister,
as you know, and you know him very well, Shin.
So I'll be the longest serving prime minister.
Speaker 3 (17:47):
And were come back President Trump and the conference in
the east Room, not the Oval. We'll get to that
in a second.
Speaker 1 (17:54):
Look.
Speaker 3 (17:54):
I think the economy is going to be looking great
under President Trump in this term, but you want to
think about this over the long term, I mean ten
twenty thirty years. Inflation is going to continue to be
something we have to watch closely. The debt is a
massive challenge, and the devaluation of the dollar is something
you have got to be prepared for. So I'm not
(18:14):
saying go all in. I'm just saying, take a look
at what can happen in the future and take action today.
Birch Gold Group can help you with the purchase of gold.
Diversifying into gold makes sense. I actually just purchased some
more gold from Birch Goldgroup myself earlier this week, so
I'm adding to my gold holdings. I recommend you do
the same. If you've not yet invested a portion of
(18:36):
your savings in gold, now is a good time to
do it. Just look at the price of gold over
the last thirty years. We trust Birch Gold.
Speaker 4 (18:43):
Here.
Speaker 3 (18:43):
To get your free copy of Birch Gold's new information kit,
go to Birch Gold dot com slash buck that's Birch
Gold dot com slash buck, or text my name Buck
to ninety eight ninety eight ninety eight.
Speaker 2 (19:03):
At the end of this segment, we are going to
combine for a world beating prize picks super Bowl pick
that we can all play together. Buck has made his choices.
I have got my choices down here and we will
see what ends up happening, whether we can in fact
(19:24):
get a big win. So we're going to dive in
there for a moment. You guys, by the way, using
the talkback function, Dell losing the show. A lot of
different funny ones out there. I wanted to hit this
Cammy in Phoenix. She says she's been married thirty four years,
but she thinks it's important for everybody to understand this.
Speaker 3 (19:44):
So I want you to know that I've been married
for almost thirty four years and my husband still can't
load the dishwasher.
Speaker 7 (19:52):
I have to go behind him and load it correctly.
Speaker 1 (19:55):
There you go, buck, So you've got a lot of
time to get it right.
Speaker 3 (19:58):
I just here's my thing. I think that you load
him in as fast as you can, and then you just.
Speaker 1 (20:06):
Turn the little machine on.
Speaker 3 (20:08):
And then if you need to rearrange it afterwards because
something still has some you know, some steak juice on
the side of the ramikin or whatever. You know, you're
running again. I don't know. I don't think it has to.
I don't like the perfect to be the enemy of
the good when it comes to home. I don't know,
home economics or whatever, you'd call it like, I think
(20:29):
you just got to get it done. You know, I'm
all about lining them up and knocking them down. Carrie
is very precise with how she accepts the dishwasher to
be loaded. And I am trying to learn, but I don't.
I feel like I'm not learning somehow, Clay, I don't know.
Maybe this is just a philosophical difference.
Speaker 2 (20:49):
It is the case that you are not learning because
there are some things that I don't think husbands are
meant to learn. This is just not going to be
your sphere of influence. And as you are married long
or you will come to find that there is no
sphere of influence that is actually inside of the house
that is designed for you. Perhaps a garage, maybe some
small portion of the house where you may have a
(21:11):
television where you, refrigerator by you, or something like that
that can be your universe.
Speaker 1 (21:15):
Now I have a great home studio.
Speaker 2 (21:16):
To my wife's credit, we moved into this house a
decade ago, and she basically just doesn't even want to
worry about what the upstairs looks like. Where I am
probably better because it's a mess and it's particularly scattershot,
so that that is the process that is underway.
Speaker 1 (21:33):
I wanted to ask you this question. Buck.
Speaker 2 (21:36):
You saw and I bet a huge percentage of our
audience that did. And I actually want to hear from
producer Ali what she thinks about this. Bill Belichick is
seventy some odd years old. He has roughly a twenty
five year old girlfriend.
Speaker 7 (21:51):
She wore.
Speaker 2 (21:52):
Producer Ali, come up because I need to and you
can share if you want to go see the picture.
Speaker 1 (21:58):
It's basically all over the end. I'm sure a lot
of you have seen this. Oh I saw the picture.
Speaker 2 (22:02):
Okay, Alie, this dress. We talked about Lauren Sanchez's dress.
Do you know what Bill Belichick's girlfriend is saying her
dress was inspired by She has now responded to all
of the attention a lot. But how would you even
describe the dress for people out there who didn't see it?
Speaker 1 (22:19):
Ali? It was like a cover up at the beach. Oh.
Speaker 2 (22:24):
So it's like if you're wearing a bikini and basically
that's not a bad description at all, and you're like, hey,
I don't want to walk around in my bikini like up,
you know, going into a store by the beach, like
you would just kind of throw over a cover up
that's what her dress was for the red carpet last
night where they're giving out the NFL Awards. It was.
Speaker 1 (22:48):
Trying to be nice about it.
Speaker 7 (22:49):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (22:51):
I thought it was fashionable. I thought it was fashionable.
I don't know. We need to we're not all the
deans of the high school.
Speaker 2 (23:00):
But she says it was inspired by the Lombardi Trophy,
which is what the team that wins the Super Bowl gets. Now,
I'm gonna be honest with you, I missed the inspiration,
and I guess it's somewhat of a similar color. And
I asked this question, and did we have any man
who has ever admitted to doing this? I asked the
question after the Lauren Sanchez outfit that she wore to
(23:22):
the inauguration. Is there any man listening to us right
now that has ever told his wife, yeah, that's the
wrong outfit to wear to this and asked her to change.
I don't, producer, Greg, I don't think we got a
single man out there who has ever successfully told his wife, Hey,
(23:44):
that's the wrong you can't wear that, that's the wrong
outfit to wear to this. Now, women do this to
men all the time. I don't did we get any email.
I don't think we got a single guy who was like, yeah,
I've done that, because men feel like we'd be picking
a fight if we did it. What do you think, Buck,
have you ever taken because you dated for like twenty
years in New York City, did you ever take a
(24:04):
woman to a formal event or something that like was
like this and think, oh, man, I don't know that
she should be wearing that.
Speaker 1 (24:13):
Did you ever have that thought? Go like, what would
you have thought you were.
Speaker 3 (24:16):
You're a young single guy, you'd consider that to be
a high class problem.
Speaker 1 (24:20):
It's like, whoa, that's too spicy for this event.
Speaker 3 (24:22):
Like, I don't think, if anything, I think a lot
of a lot of my time in single world was
more in the other direction where I was like, you know,
it's not like we're going to an amish convention, like
you could probably you know, spice it up a little bit,
just saying, you know, I tended not to have people.
Speaker 1 (24:39):
That were dressed very provocatively.
Speaker 2 (24:42):
Here by the way, you know, you dressed to draw attention.
When Snoop Dogg the rapper made a joke about what
the girlfriend and Belichick looked like together. This was last
night at NFL Honors. This is when a rapper is like,
what in the world are you doing? You probably have
made some interesting life choices. Here was that last night.
Speaker 8 (25:02):
It is an honor to be hosting this because I've
been a football fan.
Speaker 1 (25:06):
For a long long time.
Speaker 8 (25:07):
I mean, I remember back when the Cowboys was good.
I remember back when the Chiefs was bad, and I remember.
Speaker 4 (25:19):
What was it.
Speaker 1 (25:20):
Bill Belichick's girlfriend wasn't born yet.
Speaker 2 (25:26):
That's pretty good. That's pretty good. His girlfriend wasn't born
buck until two thousand. That is like when you're in
your seventies.
Speaker 4 (25:38):
Too.
Speaker 2 (25:38):
I guarantee you two thousand does not feel very long ago.
And I can't stop thinking every time I see a
picture of the two of them.
Speaker 1 (25:45):
What in the world her dad thinks?
Speaker 3 (25:47):
You know, well, she's gonna be She's famous now. Yeah,
so she's clearly getting a lot, a lot of professional
value out of this. She's now known. She could probably
launch a brand of you know, essential oil and you know,
do you know whatever, like sort of famous you know,
red carpet eye candy do these days? And so I
(26:08):
get to play how long was Belichick married before this?
Speaker 1 (26:12):
I think he was married for like thirty years. Uh,
that's right.
Speaker 2 (26:15):
But he's been divorced for a while. I think I
think he's been divorced for a while. And his kids,
he must have kids, right, Oh, he's got kids older
than her.
Speaker 1 (26:22):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (26:22):
I was gonna say, I bet his kids are older
than his girlfriend.
Speaker 1 (26:25):
Yes, which must be interesting.
Speaker 2 (26:27):
Got to be a great holiday, got to be a
really interesting Thanksgiving. All right, Buck, it's time to make
everybody rich. Here are you ready? Do you have your pick?
I've got it all right. Here is what I want
everybody to do. And we'll take some of your calls
and you can wagh in. We'll have some fun to
close out the show. But super Bowl is Sunday. I'm
down in New Orleans. Here are my picks, Buck, and
then we're going to add in yours. First of all,
(26:48):
you're doing three or four to set us up here,
I'm gonna do. I'm gonna do let's see, I'll do
I'll do two, and then you'll do one. We'll take
we'll try to hit on a three. Okay, this would
be hit five to one. All right, well, let's do four.
Speaker 1 (27:05):
We'll do four. Oh wow, we'll do four.
Speaker 3 (27:07):
We'll do We're gonna make it, Okay, all right, here
is your barbecue.
Speaker 2 (27:11):
You tell me, okay, and I want to make sure.
I don't know what your pick is going to be.
So it's possible that we have a conflict and we
have to go back to three. We could agree, but
here we go. All right, everybody download Prize Picks. You
get fifty dollars, use code Clay and you will hopefully
win a ten to one payout on the Clay and
(27:31):
Bucks Special Super Bowl fifty nine edition. All right, are
you ready? You get a free square. No one on
the planet, no one can lose on this one. Patrick
Mahomes over one half passing yard. This is like four
Super Bowl Special from Prize Picks. It's like the free
square in the center of Bingo. Everybody gets it. It's
(27:54):
their gift to you in addition to the fifty dollars.
Speaker 1 (27:57):
All right.
Speaker 2 (27:58):
Travis Kelcey more buck than sixty three and a half
receiving yards. Travis Kelcey star tight end. He's had multiple
weeks now to get healthy. This could be the final
game of his NFL career. He is old for an
NFL tight end, obviously dating Taylor Swift. He has tended
(28:19):
to play his best in the postseason. I don't think
he has a lot left in the tank, but I
think he is going to make plays tonight, I meaning
Sunday night. More than sixty three and a half? All right, Buck,
this one may be you two, all right, so we
may have to adjust here. I took Saquon, your boy,
Saquon more than one half touchdown rushing or receiving. That is,
(28:44):
if Saquon Barkley gets a touchdown rushing or receiving, zero
point five has to go more. Those are my three picks.
Kelsey more receiving yards, Saquon more rushing receiving, Patrick Mahomes
more one a half passing yard. What is do we
have a drum roll audio capacity here? What is the
(29:06):
great Buck Sexton football football genius for decades?
Speaker 1 (29:11):
What is your pick? Sir?
Speaker 3 (29:13):
Just just to be fair, you have taken sa Quan
off the board for me right now, and so mister
Sequan was going to be my pick. But I don't
I had a backup, right because I knew, I knew
Clay was gonna throw you know, he was gonna throw
a curveball.
Speaker 1 (29:25):
At me here.
Speaker 3 (29:27):
So I think that you are going to have mister
Juju Smith Schuster. Okay, I think that he is going
to be receiving less than fifteen and a half.
Speaker 1 (29:43):
Yards, all right, So I actually think this is not
a poor pick.
Speaker 2 (29:47):
Now, I don't somebody's gonna have to check the tape
because I talked about Juju Smith Schuster. I might have
given the opposite side of this last week. I don't
know if I did, but this is the right play.
So I want Buck is right on this. I was
going back, and we also, can we.
Speaker 3 (30:03):
Get your boys because I feel like they're like Elon's
you know, Elon's team, except your boys are for football.
Do they think my pick is acceptable? If they think
it's acceptable, then I feel really good about it.
Speaker 2 (30:13):
I will tweet out what the Travis boys say because
they are all in school right now, and so there
you have to go, Natzie. Yeah, hopefully hopefully they are
not listening and their phones are put away and they
have no idea what's going on right now, because I
don't want to get I don't want them to get
demerits because then I have to get them into school.
Speaker 1 (30:32):
So here is the pick, all right? As we go
to break, and.
Speaker 2 (30:35):
I don't want staff to screw this up, right, because
inevitably it goes up wrong.
Speaker 1 (30:39):
This is it.
Speaker 2 (30:40):
Patrick Mahomes free square over one half passing yard, Saquon
Barkley over one half touchdown that can be either rushing
or receiving, Travis Kelcey more than sixty three and a
half receiving yards and Juju Smith Schuster less than fifteen
and a half receiving yards. If we are correct, if
(31:02):
the Clay and Buck Special hits for the Super Bowl
ten to one payout, that is Super Bowl fifty nine
live from New Orleans, the Clay and Bucks Special prize
picks dot com code Clay ten to one payout fifty
dollars when you play five dollars.
Speaker 1 (31:18):
All right, we come back.
Speaker 2 (31:19):
We'll close out the week me for New Orleans, Buck
from Miami, and we will send you off into the weekend,
hopefully in a good mood. We appreciate all of you
for hanging out with us here on Clay and Buck.
Speaker 3 (31:37):
All right, we're closing up shop here on Clay in Buck,
sending you off for a fantastic Super Bowl weekend, and
I'm sure play will have lots of analysis for us
on the big game coming up. Clay, I don't think
I've made this pick.
Speaker 1 (31:51):
Yet for you.
Speaker 2 (31:52):
The Eagles are gonna take it bred Well, we're on
opposite sides. I think that Patrick Mahome is gonna win
his fourth Super Bowl. I think Chiefs get it done.
Travis Kelce rides off in the sunset, retires, has a
good game. I am cautiously optimistic. Buck, you know the
Trump President Trump's going to be there. I think that
(32:12):
I know that Fox Sports has put together an incredibly
patriotic opening for this Super Bowl that pays homage to
the fourteen individuals who gave their lives were killed by
a terrorist. I'm telling you, if you have been out there,
you know the NFL took into racism out of the
end zone. We have started to stack a lot of
(32:35):
wins just for common space and common sense. Who cares
how you voted? Like, can we have communal events where
we all come together. I feel like the trend lines
are all very good. I think this stadium is going
to go crazy for Trump, Buck when they put him
on the jumbo tron. I think that there will be
a lot of very great positivity and festivity coming out
(32:57):
of this event.
Speaker 1 (32:58):
Based on the vibe that I'm getting all over New Orleans.
Speaker 3 (33:01):
Well that was exceptional analysis and quite a transition into
worthwhile things to say. I was just gonna say, well,
I think the Eagles will win. I will never say
that Philly cheese steaks are better than Kansas City barbecue.
I hate to be the guy, but the cheese steak
for me, some of those cheese steaks pretty disappointing. But
(33:22):
what Clay said was far more profound, So go with that.
Speaker 1 (33:24):
That was good.
Speaker 3 (33:26):
I was also gonna say I were green today in
favor of my Eagles. I just have been through so
many of these times. I think most people out there
listening to us right now just want to kind of
sit down, have a beer, have some dip, have some burgers,
have I mean broads.
Speaker 8 (33:42):
Whatever.
Speaker 3 (33:43):
To that end, I think Clay that I don't think
there's gonna be any woke trash in this Super Bowl.
Speaker 1 (33:48):
I agree.
Speaker 3 (33:48):
I don't think and I know anything about football or
the Super Bowl. I just think the corporate and cultural
wins have shifted so clearly that it would be pure
corporate self immolation to try to do any anything annoying
in this particular Super Bowl. Let's take we got some
(34:09):
calls here, John from Augusta, Georgia.
Speaker 1 (34:12):
What's going on?
Speaker 4 (34:12):
John, Hey, listen, brother speaking as a former CIA paramilitary officer.
Oh cool, My wife cannot loaded dishwasher to save her life.
Speaker 3 (34:29):
Okay, So John, can I say because we're agency brothers, right,
we're agency brothers. So let me just let me put
this out there, because you're gonna give me top cover
on this now. Okay, you're like watching my six I'm on,
hang on, let me thank you. I think that I'm
better at it than my wife, and she thinks I
do it the wrong way.
Speaker 1 (34:48):
She's asleep now, so she's not listening to the show.
She won't hear this, I hope. But I think I'm
better at it.
Speaker 4 (34:53):
John, I'll tell you I am that. I am now
the stay at home dad of twin six year old girls.
My wife is a retired military officer, and I want
her out of my kitchen.
Speaker 3 (35:11):
I love a CI paramilitaries, Like is my kitchen now?
Speaker 1 (35:15):
I'm running the show. That's how it should be. Man,
you know I love it. John.
Speaker 3 (35:20):
Thank you, first of all, thank you for your service, man.
Thank you for calling in listening to the show. Great
to talk to you.
Speaker 1 (35:24):
Michael in Atlanta. You got some wisdom for us.
Speaker 7 (35:28):
Hey, guys love the show.
Speaker 1 (35:30):
Thank you?
Speaker 7 (35:31):
Yeah, I got I got three nuggets for a new dad.
Number one, I mean, breastfeeding is beautiful and all, but
you know we did that with the first one. The
second one we went bottle and under no circumstances heat
that thing. Don't warm it because you don't want to
be trying to warm it up at five am when
they wake you up, going I want a bottle. And
(35:52):
then swaddling is the key. There used to be a
video out the guys showed you how to swaddle, and
you've got to make him realigh. I kind of ball
him up and you tuck them up under your your
arm like you're carrying a football football season, but tuck
them up under your arm, put their chin in your hands.
They'll go right to sleep.
Speaker 1 (36:12):
Do we lose him? I needed the third thing?
Speaker 4 (36:16):
What am I to do?
Speaker 1 (36:16):
I need the third bit of advice. It was so
good he's there. Third advice, go only one once. They're
only enjoy it. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3 (36:28):
I've heard this that the first four years of life
goes by in an instant and it's like the most
amazing thing you'll ever experienced.
Speaker 1 (36:33):
Right, Claie, you did it three times.
Speaker 2 (36:35):
Yeah, it is extraordinary that first year, the amount that
they change, even though it is hectic, it is chaotic,
it is amazing. Y'all have great super Bowl weekends. We
backup you Monday Sleeve.
Speaker 1 (36:47):
Travis and Buck Sexton on the front lines of truth.
Welcome to today's edition of the Clay Travis and Buck

Speaker 2 (00:05):

(00:29):
have even more time that you want to spend hanging
out with our crew, you'll be glad that you did it,
and we are certainly glad that you are choosing to
spend the final hour of the week with us. As
we roll into the weekend, Big Super Bowl weekend, I
am down in New Orleans ninety nine to five wr NO,
our fabulous affiliate here Buck in South Florida. As we
(00:50):
prepare for the weekend when much will be going on
to be enjoyed with the Super Bowl, Donald Trump coming
into New Orleans. We will see how all that goes.
We've had some fun, as we often do on a Friday,
Donald Trump ending paper straws CNN investigating a online commentator known.
Speaker 1 (01:11):
As big Balls.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
We have not yet discussed Bill Belichick and his girlfriend Buck,
which is a viral photo that has gone everywhere. We
will get into all that and more. I did want
to give some positivity because I think sometimes amid all
of the crazy maneuvering of a day to day basis
and the rapidity with which the Trump administration is remaking
(01:35):
the government as frankly, we have never seen before in
terms of the impact and how quickly everything is being
put together. Bill Malugin shared, Remember the number one thing
that Trump ran on and pledged that he would take
care of was the border. And you may have noticed
that basically the border is no longer a story. Bill
(01:58):
Malugin shared these numbers. Yesterday, Texas had border crossings of
just three hundred and fifty two illegals. Bill Malugin said,
you know, and he covers the border and has been
covering the border for years. These are just crazy low numbers,
(02:19):
unheard of. To see this, I would have trouble finding
illegal aliens if I went down to the border right now.
And remember, in particular Egle Pass, there were do you
remember back when I know we talked about it on
this show. There were sometimes fifteen thousand people, tens of
thousands of people coming across the border on a daily basis.
(02:43):
For it to be all the way down to three
hundred and fifty two is extraordinary. I also think this
is super important. It has occurred without Congress taking any
action at all. Now that's not to say that Congress
doesn't have an important rule when it comes to border security.
It's just to point out that Joe Biden, through executive orders,
(03:07):
opened up the border, and Donald Trump, through executive orders,
has almost completely closed it. You've been down to the
border before, Buck. When you hear the numbers like three
hundred and fifty illegal border crossings, that when you consider
the scope of the border, that essentially means we have
a secure southern border for the first time in four years.
Speaker 3 (03:29):
Well, it's in part the resources that they're putting down there,
but I think it's an even bigger and even bigger
component of securing that border. As you said, the numbers
tell the story. I mean, it's ninety percent plus drop
in illegal crossings and Trump's only been an office for
a couple of weeks. It's because the word gets out
very quickly. We're in a global information environment. It is
(03:50):
not hard for people to figure out that if you
come to this country illegally, you're not going to be
able to stay right now, if you're trying to enter illegally,
you're going to be turned away. That is different than
what was going on for the four years of Biden's administration.
It's very obvious, and the numbers also speak to that
when you change the incentives, you get different results. And
(04:13):
that is what Trump and the team and DHS under
Nome and Tom Homan, he's doing a phenomenal job. That's
what they have done. And we're just in the early
stages of this too, but it's enforcement at the border,
increased interior enforcement, and an increase in a willingness to
deport people who are scamming the system and who are
(04:35):
public safety threats.
Speaker 2 (04:37):
And again, with all of the things that are being
done right now, I just think it's remarkable. Trump has
already delivered on his promise to shut down the southern border.
He's already begun to take out the illegal and most
violent of the illegals. And you know what's happened. There's
been almost zero discussion about it at all because they're
(05:00):
doing so much now the pivot has Remember they were
all talking about resisting ice and everything else. Now Democrats
are showing up outside of the Department of Education trying
to go into these government buildings because they're so afraid
of the us AID in particular. But I think it's
become an evidentiary point here of exactly how much fraud
(05:22):
and mismanagement there is that's taking place in the government,
and the fact that we're all super lucky that Elon Musk,
who remember, voted for Joe Biden in twenty twenty. We're
not talking about some far right wing ideologue who's trying
to destroy the government, is now decided, Hey, I want
to put my superior intellect to work to try to
save all the taxpayers money.
Speaker 3 (05:42):
Think about this too. They keep attacking him, and now
they're attacking his team, which is just pathetic, but they're
attacking I mean, you know, leave big balls alone, all right,
the guy's got to do what he's got to do.
We don't need people going after big balls. And I
would just say On had done something that was actually
(06:02):
egregious in terms of what he was trying to cut,
we would hear about it. But instead they just say, oh,
it's terrible. He's running amok inside the government. We didn't
elect Elon and all this stuff those that's all noise,
that's all a distraction. What are the cuts that Democrats
want to come forward and say, we need to take
(06:22):
your tax dollars America to fund this.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
They won't do it. I mean, there's a it has
to be all. But what about you at USA? What
about this this agency?
Speaker 3 (06:33):
Tho it's still going to exist, It's just going to
exist in smaller form, wasting a whole lot less money.
Who is in favor of that? You know, the Democrats
are the party of waste is what we're seeing very clearly, waste,
graft and corruption.
Speaker 2 (06:47):
I would point out to them the way that they're
fighting shows you that they never expected their honeypot to
ever really get examined because the money that they are
spending is so massive. When it comes to media that
I guarantee you there are a lot of calls where
they say, hey, you know Politico, Remember we're paying you
(07:10):
twenty thousand dollars a year for Politico Pro. And I've
even seen people out there saying Buck and I bet
you have too, Well, this is money well spent.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
You know.
Speaker 2 (07:19):
They really cover the government. Well, they need access to
these tools to be able. And I'm thinking to myself,
twenty thousand dollars a year. I don't think most people
are aware of how much money it takes to run
a media company, and effectively all of us taxpayers are
(07:40):
subsidizing all of these media companies and guaranteeing they don't
lose money.
Speaker 1 (07:44):
Here's what I would want to know.
Speaker 3 (07:46):
Who was paying for Politico pro that wasn't getting it
subs that wasn't getting it paid for basically by the taxpayer,
meaning what you know, how many political prosins for what
percentage percentage of that government funded? Because to me, it's like, oh,
I've got an idea. We create this thing and then
we promote it for the government to you know, for
(08:08):
government employees who are all Democrats, we're gonna like Politico anyway.
It's not coming out of their pocket and they get
some nifty little special news service that they get to have.
I mean, here here's the thing. I've worked the news
for fifteen years, so of you, I mean longer actually
your case, you've worked in news like from almost the
very beginning, right. I don't know anybody who has political pro.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
I agree.
Speaker 3 (08:29):
Do you know anybody who pays for political pro I
do not know a single human being. I know people
who plenty of people pay for Lexus Nexus, and people
pay for all different kinds of subscriptions for you know,
different purposes for research. You know, I've got a uh,
what's that J store or whatever I think it is
with all the academic articles you know I've got by
(08:49):
the way, that's like you can get a lot of
them for free. But I'm just saying there are things
out there that I know that people have. I don't
know anybody who pays twenty grand a year for political
pro Not a single person I've ever met has said, yeah,
I've got that and it's worthwhile.
Speaker 2 (09:01):
Yeah, just think about I mean, I can't even imagine
being a government employee and being taxpayer funded and in
some way trying to justify twenty thousand dollars a year
for a new subscription.
Speaker 3 (09:13):
I think when you look at the incentives again, you
see what's really going on. The same thing with why
would you buy a Hunter Biden painting for five hundred
thousand dollars?
Speaker 4 (09:21):
Yes?
Speaker 3 (09:22):
Right, the reason you would buy a Hunter Biden painting
for five hundred grand is you want to be able
to leverage that and get favors from or favorable treatment from,
or just be in the inner circle of Biden. And
at the time he was, you know, the most powerful
(09:42):
man in the world basically, I mean the president, even
when it's not Donald Trump, is a very powerful position.
Speaker 1 (09:46):
Right.
Speaker 3 (09:47):
This is why I mean I brought this up before.
Go back and look at this, and Clay I used
to argue with people on CNN about this. I'd say
the Clinton Global Initiative is a scam and.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
Say, no, it's not. It's doing amazing charity.
Speaker 3 (10:00):
Do you know they shut it down the year after
she lost. It was a global charity with hundreds of
millions of dollars flowing through it. I know, there was
like the Clinton Foundation, the Clinton you know, it's all
meant to be able to kind of be fungible and obscure.
The whole thing was a scam. But they shut down
the Clinton Global Initiative the year after Hillary lost.
Speaker 1 (10:18):
What happened.
Speaker 3 (10:18):
Nobody liked charity anymore. Nobody cared about women's empowerment in
you know, in Uganda and in you know, Thailand.
Speaker 1 (10:26):
All of a sudden, like what happened.
Speaker 3 (10:28):
Well, the answer was people were writing checks so they
could get access to and favors from the Clintons. And
so when you look at in the political context, yeah,
of course, if you're a government agency, these are your people.
It's taxpayer dollars. You know that they're not going to
do any deep dives on the agencies that are paying
them huge amounts of money. It's the self licking ice
(10:50):
cream cone man.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
It's the worst and right now, for the first time
in most of our lives, that entire grift may be
in danger of collapsing. And that's why Democrats are up
in such arms.
Speaker 1 (11:07):
I mean, because think about it. All Elon is doing is.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
Saying, hey, I want to try to create a situation
where we don't spend as much money as we otherwise
would be doing. We want for you to be able
to get hooked up and have a better gig. We
got some people who want away in buck. Let's hit
a couple of these talkbacks here in the third hour.
Let's have some fun. Linda says she's never heard of
(11:33):
say anything sexist. We were talking about loading the dishwasher.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
Linda, what do you think I want to say that
I've never found anything that they say to be remotely
Texist period. It's logical boom, I love it is brilliant.
Speaker 3 (11:46):
Is a brilliant lady makes it very logical terms, like
many other women who think in logical terms.
Speaker 2 (11:51):
By the way, speaking of logical terms, my wife texted me,
I told you I was going to be in trouble
during the break after we talked about this.
Speaker 1 (11:58):
It may be.
Speaker 2 (11:58):
Partly she said, OMG, I roll maybe biological, but you're
the extreme for being completely obliit oblivious to all your surroundings.
In any type of mess, you have no idea what's
going on around you. You would be dead if it
weren't for me, because you would be living. You would
be living in filthy Lauren Travis.
Speaker 3 (12:22):
Weighing in, I would be dead off the top, off
the top, roll on the cleiness with that one. I'm
just saying it. Yeah, that was Bill flying. I'll built
in all caps too.
Speaker 2 (12:29):
By the way, Uh Houston listener John says, uh, well,
hold on, let's get to that one in a second.
We got I want to go to what is this
AA whatever the first one was. I believe we had
a good one in there. Can we play that one
as well.
Speaker 5 (12:43):
If you can't cook a steak, make it well done
and make it tender and juicy, then you can't cook.
I don't know where you guys beneath that, but you
can't cook it. So you named may as well stay.
Speaker 1 (12:57):
Away from the steak. Pink equally rare equals wrong. It's
far in lovely.
Speaker 3 (13:03):
My man just going off on us for saying the
well done steak. He's a part of the well done
steak crowd.
Speaker 2 (13:09):
I don't don't even know that the third rail of
well done steak you is coming after us. Here, here's
all I have to say. You're all wrong. You're all
living your lives poorly. You need to go medium rare minimum.
And when you try a medium rare steak, you are
gonna be like, I don't know why. It's like your
world is going to open up around you and you're
(13:29):
gonna question all of your prior life decisions when it
comes to cooking a steak.
Speaker 3 (13:34):
Well, if you're going to a store and you're getting
very inexpensive cuts of red meat, uh, you know, then
it doesn't really matter. It's gonna be kind of tough
in sinewy. You're gonna have to use a lot of seasoning.
You're gonna have to do you know, you're gonna have
to like drive brine it, or you know, put it
in the I forget what you're calling. You know, you
put in like the sauce all day before you cook it.
If you're gonna spend money and get an expensive cut
(13:57):
of meat and you're just gonna cook it way way
up to the well done.
Speaker 1 (14:01):
I love our talkback listener there, but I disagree with
them on this one. I'm just gonna say it. We'll
take some more talkbacks.
Speaker 3 (14:08):
By the way, on the iHeart app, you just press
a little phone button you can leave us a message.
It's a lot of fun. Actually, we love doing it.
We'll else get similar calls this hour as well, because
this is third hour on a Friday. You know, it's
an amazing accomplishment what the team working at the Preborn
Network of Clinics has achieved. In twenty years, this nonprofit
organization has saved the lives of more than three hundred
thousand unborn children on average. That means two hundred babies
(14:31):
each day are brought into this world and saved from
the tragedy of abortion. Preborn operates clinics nationwide set up
to meet pregnant mothers debating whether to bring their unborn
child into this world or seek an abortion. And a
big percentage of these women are contending with unplanned pregnancies.
There under a lot of pressure, a lot of stress.
Preborn welcomes them in with hugs and love and support.
(14:51):
I've been to one of these clinics. I have seen
it myself. I've met one of the little girls who
is alive in part today because mom met the little
girl in her belly via ultrasound provided by Preborn. Preborn
is saving lives day in and day out. In this way,
for just twenty eight dollars, you can help save the
life of an unborn child. One hundred percent of your
(15:13):
donation goes to saving lives. To donate, dial pound two
fifty and say the keyword baby. That's pound two five
zero say the word baby, or go to preborn dot
com slash buck that's preborn dot com slash b u
c K sponsored by Preborn. President Trump is in the
(15:38):
Oval Office. He's speaking right now to the press. Press
conference going on with the Prime Minister of Japan. We're
joining for a second. Let's hear what Trump's saying.
Speaker 6 (15:48):
Venture of some type between Japan and US having to
do with Alaska oil and gas, and that's very exciting.
They're very excited about it. So away as we deepen
our economic relationship, I made clear that the United States
will be conducting trade with all countries based on the
principle of fairness and reciprocity. Chronic trade deficits not only
(16:11):
undermine our economy, they really do, and we're.
Speaker 1 (16:15):
Going to get rid of the trade.
Speaker 6 (16:16):
We have a trade deficit with Japan of over one
hundred billion dollars, but we're going to work that out,
and I think very quickly. Frankly, we can do it.
Just to an oil and gas, we can work it out.
So we intend to do it very quickly. We both
understand that. And as America welcomes new foreign investment, we
also want to ensure that companies build their products and
(16:37):
factories here in America, not simply by the assets that
we have. And Japan is going to be opening up
auto plants. New auto plants are being built currently as
we as we speak. They've just been started. Toyota is one,
and Nissan's going to be doing something very exciting about
(16:58):
about us Deel, I'll be looking at an investment rather
than a purchase.
Speaker 1 (17:02):
We didn't like the idea.
Speaker 6 (17:03):
US Steel is a very important company to us. It
was the greatest company in the world for fifteen years,
many years ago, eighty years ago, and we didn't want
to see that leave. And it wouldn't actually leave, but
the concept psychologically not good. So they've agreed to invest
(17:24):
heavily in US Steel as opposed to own it. And
that sounds very exciting. And we're going to meet with
Nissan next week, the head of Nissan, very great company,
and they'll work out the details.
Speaker 4 (17:35):
I'll help.
Speaker 6 (17:35):
I'll be there to mediate and arbitrate. Then I had
the privilege of working closely with a great prime minister,
as you know, and you know him very well, Shin.
So I'll be the longest serving prime minister.
Speaker 3 (17:47):
And were come back President Trump and the conference in
the east Room, not the Oval. We'll get to that
in a second.
Speaker 1 (17:54):
Look.
Speaker 3 (17:54):
I think the economy is going to be looking great
under President Trump in this term, but you want to
think about this over the long term, I mean ten
twenty thirty years. Inflation is going to continue to be
something we have to watch closely. The debt is a
massive challenge, and the devaluation of the dollar is something
you have got to be prepared for. So I'm not
(18:14):
saying go all in. I'm just saying, take a look
at what can happen in the future and take action today.
Birch Gold Group can help you with the purchase of gold.
Diversifying into gold makes sense. I actually just purchased some
more gold from Birch Goldgroup myself earlier this week, so
I'm adding to my gold holdings. I recommend you do
the same. If you've not yet invested a portion of
(18:36):
your savings in gold, now is a good time to
do it. Just look at the price of gold over
the last thirty years. We trust Birch Gold.
Speaker 4 (18:43):

Speaker 2 (19:03):
At the end of this segment, we are going to
combine for a world beating prize picks super Bowl pick
that we can all play together. Buck has made his choices.
I have got my choices down here and we will
see what ends up happening, whether we can in fact
(19:24):
get a big win. So we're going to dive in
there for a moment. You guys, by the way, using
the talkback function, Dell losing the show. A lot of
different funny ones out there. I wanted to hit this
Cammy in Phoenix. She says she's been married thirty four years,
but she thinks it's important for everybody to understand this.
Speaker 3 (19:44):
So I want you to know that I've been married
for almost thirty four years and my husband still can't
load the dishwasher.
Speaker 7 (19:52):
I have to go behind him and load it correctly.
Speaker 1 (19:55):
There you go, buck, So you've got a lot of
time to get it right.
Speaker 3 (19:58):
I just here's my thing. I think that you load
him in as fast as you can, and then you just.
Speaker 1 (20:06):
Turn the little machine on.
Speaker 3 (20:08):
And then if you need to rearrange it afterwards because
something still has some you know, some steak juice on
the side of the ramikin or whatever. You know, you're
running again. I don't know. I don't think it has to.
I don't like the perfect to be the enemy of
the good when it comes to home. I don't know,
home economics or whatever, you'd call it like, I think
(20:29):
you just got to get it done. You know, I'm
all about lining them up and knocking them down. Carrie
is very precise with how she accepts the dishwasher to
be loaded. And I am trying to learn, but I don't.
I feel like I'm not learning somehow, Clay, I don't know.
Maybe this is just a philosophical difference.
Speaker 2 (20:49):
It is the case that you are not learning because
there are some things that I don't think husbands are
meant to learn. This is just not going to be
your sphere of influence. And as you are married long
or you will come to find that there is no
sphere of influence that is actually inside of the house
that is designed for you. Perhaps a garage, maybe some
small portion of the house where you may have a
(21:11):
television where you, refrigerator by you, or something like that
that can be your universe.
Speaker 1 (21:15):
Now I have a great home studio.
Speaker 2 (21:16):
To my wife's credit, we moved into this house a
decade ago, and she basically just doesn't even want to
worry about what the upstairs looks like. Where I am
probably better because it's a mess and it's particularly scattershot,
so that that is the process that is underway.
Speaker 1 (21:33):
I wanted to ask you this question. Buck.
Speaker 2 (21:36):
You saw and I bet a huge percentage of our
audience that did. And I actually want to hear from
producer Ali what she thinks about this. Bill Belichick is
seventy some odd years old. He has roughly a twenty
five year old girlfriend.
Speaker 7 (21:51):
She wore.
Speaker 2 (21:52):
Producer Ali, come up because I need to and you
can share if you want to go see the picture.
Speaker 1 (21:58):
It's basically all over the end. I'm sure a lot
of you have seen this. Oh I saw the picture.
Speaker 2 (22:02):
Okay, Alie, this dress. We talked about Lauren Sanchez's dress.
Do you know what Bill Belichick's girlfriend is saying her
dress was inspired by She has now responded to all
of the attention a lot. But how would you even
describe the dress for people out there who didn't see it?
Speaker 1 (22:19):
Ali? It was like a cover up at the beach. Oh.
Speaker 2 (22:24):
So it's like if you're wearing a bikini and basically
that's not a bad description at all, and you're like, hey,
I don't want to walk around in my bikini like up,
you know, going into a store by the beach, like
you would just kind of throw over a cover up
that's what her dress was for the red carpet last
night where they're giving out the NFL Awards. It was.
Speaker 1 (22:48):
Trying to be nice about it.
Speaker 7 (22:49):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (22:51):
I thought it was fashionable. I thought it was fashionable.
I don't know. We need to we're not all the
deans of the high school.
Speaker 2 (23:00):
But she says it was inspired by the Lombardi Trophy,
which is what the team that wins the Super Bowl gets. Now,
I'm gonna be honest with you, I missed the inspiration,
and I guess it's somewhat of a similar color. And
I asked this question, and did we have any man
who has ever admitted to doing this? I asked the
question after the Lauren Sanchez outfit that she wore to
(23:22):
the inauguration. Is there any man listening to us right
now that has ever told his wife, yeah, that's the
wrong outfit to wear to this and asked her to change.
I don't, producer, Greg, I don't think we got a
single man out there who has ever successfully told his wife, Hey,
(23:44):
that's the wrong you can't wear that, that's the wrong
outfit to wear to this. Now, women do this to
men all the time. I don't did we get any email.
I don't think we got a single guy who was like, yeah,
I've done that, because men feel like we'd be picking
a fight if we did it. What do you think, Buck,
have you ever taken because you dated for like twenty
years in New York City, did you ever take a
(24:04):
woman to a formal event or something that like was
like this and think, oh, man, I don't know that
she should be wearing that.
Speaker 1 (24:13):
Did you ever have that thought? Go like, what would
you have thought you were.
Speaker 3 (24:16):
You're a young single guy, you'd consider that to be
a high class problem.
Speaker 1 (24:20):
It's like, whoa, that's too spicy for this event.
Speaker 3 (24:22):
Like, I don't think, if anything, I think a lot
of a lot of my time in single world was
more in the other direction where I was like, you know,
it's not like we're going to an amish convention, like
you could probably you know, spice it up a little bit,
just saying, you know, I tended not to have people.
Speaker 1 (24:39):
That were dressed very provocatively.
Speaker 2 (24:42):
Here by the way, you know, you dressed to draw attention.
When Snoop Dogg the rapper made a joke about what
the girlfriend and Belichick looked like together. This was last
night at NFL Honors. This is when a rapper is like,
what in the world are you doing? You probably have
made some interesting life choices. Here was that last night.
Speaker 8 (25:02):
It is an honor to be hosting this because I've
been a football fan.
Speaker 1 (25:06):
For a long long time.
Speaker 8 (25:07):
I mean, I remember back when the Cowboys was good.
I remember back when the Chiefs was bad, and I remember.
Speaker 4 (25:19):
What was it.
Speaker 1 (25:20):
Bill Belichick's girlfriend wasn't born yet.
Speaker 2 (25:26):
That's pretty good. That's pretty good. His girlfriend wasn't born
buck until two thousand. That is like when you're in
your seventies.
Speaker 4 (25:38):
Too.
Speaker 2 (25:38):
I guarantee you two thousand does not feel very long ago.
And I can't stop thinking every time I see a
picture of the two of them.
Speaker 1 (25:45):
What in the world her dad thinks?
Speaker 3 (25:47):
You know, well, she's gonna be She's famous now. Yeah,
so she's clearly getting a lot, a lot of professional
value out of this. She's now known. She could probably
launch a brand of you know, essential oil and you know,
do you know whatever, like sort of famous you know,
red carpet eye candy do these days? And so I
(26:08):
get to play how long was Belichick married before this?
Speaker 1 (26:12):
I think he was married for like thirty years. Uh,
that's right.
Speaker 2 (26:15):
But he's been divorced for a while. I think I
think he's been divorced for a while. And his kids,
he must have kids, right, Oh, he's got kids older
than her.
Speaker 1 (26:22):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (26:22):
I was gonna say, I bet his kids are older
than his girlfriend.
Speaker 1 (26:25):
Yes, which must be interesting.
Speaker 2 (26:27):
Got to be a great holiday, got to be a
really interesting Thanksgiving. All right, Buck, it's time to make
everybody rich. Here are you ready? Do you have your pick?
I've got it all right. Here is what I want
everybody to do. And we'll take some of your calls
and you can wagh in. We'll have some fun to
close out the show. But super Bowl is Sunday. I'm
down in New Orleans. Here are my picks, Buck, and
then we're going to add in yours. First of all,
(26:48):
you're doing three or four to set us up here,
I'm gonna do. I'm gonna do let's see, I'll do
I'll do two, and then you'll do one. We'll take
we'll try to hit on a three. Okay, this would
be hit five to one. All right, well, let's do four.
Speaker 1 (27:05):
We'll do four. Oh wow, we'll do four.
Speaker 3 (27:07):
We'll do We're gonna make it, Okay, all right, here
is your barbecue.
Speaker 2 (27:11):
You tell me, okay, and I want to make sure.
I don't know what your pick is going to be.
So it's possible that we have a conflict and we
have to go back to three. We could agree, but
here we go. All right, everybody download Prize Picks. You
get fifty dollars, use code Clay and you will hopefully
win a ten to one payout on the Clay and
(27:31):
Bucks Special Super Bowl fifty nine edition. All right, are
you ready? You get a free square. No one on
the planet, no one can lose on this one. Patrick
Mahomes over one half passing yard. This is like four
Super Bowl Special from Prize Picks. It's like the free
square in the center of Bingo. Everybody gets it. It's
(27:54):
their gift to you in addition to the fifty dollars.
Speaker 1 (27:57):
All right.
Speaker 2 (27:58):
Travis Kelcey more buck than sixty three and a half
receiving yards. Travis Kelcey star tight end. He's had multiple
weeks now to get healthy. This could be the final
game of his NFL career. He is old for an
NFL tight end, obviously dating Taylor Swift. He has tended
(28:19):
to play his best in the postseason. I don't think
he has a lot left in the tank, but I
think he is going to make plays tonight, I meaning
Sunday night. More than sixty three and a half? All right, Buck,
this one may be you two, all right, so we
may have to adjust here. I took Saquon, your boy,
Saquon more than one half touchdown rushing or receiving. That is,
(28:44):
if Saquon Barkley gets a touchdown rushing or receiving, zero
point five has to go more. Those are my three picks.
Kelsey more receiving yards, Saquon more rushing receiving, Patrick Mahomes
more one a half passing yard. What is do we
have a drum roll audio capacity here? What is the
(29:06):
great Buck Sexton football football genius for decades?
Speaker 1 (29:11):
What is your pick? Sir?
Speaker 3 (29:13):
Just just to be fair, you have taken sa Quan
off the board for me right now, and so mister
Sequan was going to be my pick. But I don't
I had a backup, right because I knew, I knew
Clay was gonna throw you know, he was gonna throw
a curveball.
Speaker 1 (29:25):
At me here.
Speaker 3 (29:27):
So I think that you are going to have mister
Juju Smith Schuster. Okay, I think that he is going
to be receiving less than fifteen and a half.
Speaker 1 (29:43):
Yards, all right, So I actually think this is not
a poor pick.
Speaker 2 (29:47):
Now, I don't somebody's gonna have to check the tape
because I talked about Juju Smith Schuster. I might have
given the opposite side of this last week. I don't
know if I did, but this is the right play.
So I want Buck is right on this. I was
going back, and we also, can we.
Speaker 3 (30:03):
Get your boys because I feel like they're like Elon's
you know, Elon's team, except your boys are for football.
Do they think my pick is acceptable? If they think
it's acceptable, then I feel really good about it.
Speaker 2 (30:13):
I will tweet out what the Travis boys say because
they are all in school right now, and so there
you have to go, Natzie. Yeah, hopefully hopefully they are
not listening and their phones are put away and they
have no idea what's going on right now, because I
don't want to get I don't want them to get
demerits because then I have to get them into school.
Speaker 1 (30:32):
So here is the pick, all right? As we go
to break, and.
Speaker 2 (30:35):
I don't want staff to screw this up, right, because
inevitably it goes up wrong.
Speaker 1 (30:39):
This is it.
Speaker 2 (30:40):
Patrick Mahomes free square over one half passing yard, Saquon
Barkley over one half touchdown that can be either rushing
or receiving, Travis Kelcey more than sixty three and a
half receiving yards and Juju Smith Schuster less than fifteen
and a half receiving yards. If we are correct, if
(31:02):
the Clay and Buck Special hits for the Super Bowl
ten to one payout, that is Super Bowl fifty nine
live from New Orleans, the Clay and Bucks Special prize
picks dot com code Clay ten to one payout fifty
dollars when you play five dollars.
Speaker 1 (31:18):
All right, we come back.
Speaker 2 (31:19):
We'll close out the week me for New Orleans, Buck
from Miami, and we will send you off into the weekend,
hopefully in a good mood. We appreciate all of you
for hanging out with us here on Clay and Buck.
Speaker 3 (31:37):
All right, we're closing up shop here on Clay in Buck,
sending you off for a fantastic Super Bowl weekend, and
I'm sure play will have lots of analysis for us
on the big game coming up. Clay, I don't think
I've made this pick.
Speaker 1 (31:51):
Yet for you.
Speaker 2 (31:52):
The Eagles are gonna take it bred Well, we're on
opposite sides. I think that Patrick Mahome is gonna win
his fourth Super Bowl. I think Chiefs get it done.
Travis Kelce rides off in the sunset, retires, has a
good game. I am cautiously optimistic. Buck, you know the
Trump President Trump's going to be there. I think that
(32:12):
I know that Fox Sports has put together an incredibly
patriotic opening for this Super Bowl that pays homage to
the fourteen individuals who gave their lives were killed by
a terrorist. I'm telling you, if you have been out there,
you know the NFL took into racism out of the
end zone. We have started to stack a lot of
(32:35):
wins just for common space and common sense. Who cares
how you voted? Like, can we have communal events where
we all come together. I feel like the trend lines
are all very good. I think this stadium is going
to go crazy for Trump, Buck when they put him
on the jumbo tron. I think that there will be
a lot of very great positivity and festivity coming out
(32:57):
of this event.
Speaker 1 (32:58):
Based on the vibe that I'm getting all over New Orleans.
Speaker 3 (33:01):
Well that was exceptional analysis and quite a transition into
worthwhile things to say. I was just gonna say, well,
I think the Eagles will win. I will never say
that Philly cheese steaks are better than Kansas City barbecue.
I hate to be the guy, but the cheese steak
for me, some of those cheese steaks pretty disappointing. But
(33:22):
what Clay said was far more profound, So go with that.
Speaker 1 (33:24):
That was good.
Speaker 3 (33:26):
I was also gonna say I were green today in
favor of my Eagles. I just have been through so
many of these times. I think most people out there
listening to us right now just want to kind of
sit down, have a beer, have some dip, have some burgers,
have I mean broads.
Speaker 8 (33:42):
Whatever.
Speaker 3 (33:43):
To that end, I think Clay that I don't think
there's gonna be any woke trash in this Super Bowl.
Speaker 1 (33:48):
I agree.
Speaker 3 (33:48):
I don't think and I know anything about football or
the Super Bowl. I just think the corporate and cultural
wins have shifted so clearly that it would be pure
corporate self immolation to try to do any anything annoying
in this particular Super Bowl. Let's take we got some
(34:09):
calls here, John from Augusta, Georgia.
Speaker 1 (34:12):
What's going on?
Speaker 4 (34:12):
John, Hey, listen, brother speaking as a former CIA paramilitary officer.
Oh cool, My wife cannot loaded dishwasher to save her life.
Speaker 3 (34:29):
Okay, So John, can I say because we're agency brothers, right,
we're agency brothers. So let me just let me put
this out there, because you're gonna give me top cover
on this now. Okay, you're like watching my six I'm on,
hang on, let me thank you. I think that I'm
better at it than my wife, and she thinks I
do it the wrong way.
Speaker 1 (34:48):
She's asleep now, so she's not listening to the show.
She won't hear this, I hope. But I think I'm
better at it.
Speaker 4 (34:53):
John, I'll tell you I am that. I am now
the stay at home dad of twin six year old girls.
My wife is a retired military officer, and I want
her out of my kitchen.
Speaker 3 (35:11):
I love a CI paramilitaries, Like is my kitchen now?
Speaker 1 (35:15):
I'm running the show. That's how it should be. Man,
you know I love it. John.
Speaker 3 (35:20):
Thank you, first of all, thank you for your service, man.
Thank you for calling in listening to the show. Great
to talk to you.
Speaker 1 (35:24):
Michael in Atlanta. You got some wisdom for us.
Speaker 7 (35:28):
Hey, guys love the show.
Speaker 1 (35:30):
Thank you?
Speaker 7 (35:31):
Yeah, I got I got three nuggets for a new dad.
Number one, I mean, breastfeeding is beautiful and all, but
you know we did that with the first one. The
second one we went bottle and under no circumstances heat
that thing. Don't warm it because you don't want to
be trying to warm it up at five am when
they wake you up, going I want a bottle. And
(35:52):
then swaddling is the key. There used to be a
video out the guys showed you how to swaddle, and
you've got to make him realigh. I kind of ball
him up and you tuck them up under your your
arm like you're carrying a football football season, but tuck
them up under your arm, put their chin in your hands.
They'll go right to sleep.
Speaker 1 (36:12):
Do we lose him? I needed the third thing?
Speaker 4 (36:16):
What am I to do?
Speaker 1 (36:16):
I need the third bit of advice. It was so
good he's there. Third advice, go only one once. They're
only enjoy it. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3 (36:28):
I've heard this that the first four years of life
goes by in an instant and it's like the most
amazing thing you'll ever experienced.
Speaker 1 (36:33):
Right, Claie, you did it three times.
Speaker 2 (36:35):
Yeah, it is extraordinary that first year, the amount that
they change, even though it is hectic, it is chaotic,
it is amazing. Y'all have great super Bowl weekends. We
backup you Monday Sleeve.
Speaker 1 (36:47):

Cold Case Files: Miami
Joyce Sapp, 76; Bryan Herrera, 16; and Laurance Webb, 32—three Miami residents whose lives were stolen in brutal, unsolved homicides. Cold Case Files: Miami follows award‑winning radio host and City of Miami Police reserve officer Enrique Santos as he partners with the department’s Cold Case Homicide Unit, determined family members, and the advocates who spend their lives fighting for justice for the victims who can no longer fight for themselves.
