Hour 3 of the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show delivers a fast-paced and provocative discussion centered on the political and cultural shifts shaping America. The hour opens with commentary on a major New York Times report detailing the Democratic Party’s loss of voter registration in 30 states, all of which allow voters to register by party. The hosts argue this trend reflects a broader rejection of progressive policies and identity politics, particularly among working-class Americans and pet owners—highlighting data that shows most pet owners lean Republican, except for unmarried women with cats, who form a core Democratic voting bloc.
Crime policy takes center stage as the hosts react to a public event at Union Station featuring Vice President JD Vance, Pete Hegseth, and Stephen Miller, which was disrupted by left-wing protestors. The discussion critiques progressive resistance to law enforcement and crime reduction, especially in Washington, D.C., and challenges statements from figures like Karen Bass and Joy Reid. Reid’s controversial claim that conservative leaders are trying to “delete” black and brown people to reduce competition is met with sharp rebuttals, including a viral clip of a young black conservative dismantling arguments about reparations and systemic racism. The segment underscores the show’s emphasis on personal responsibility and the rejection of victimhood narratives.
The conversation shifts to affirmative action and higher education, with criticism of Elizabeth Warren’s past claims of Native American heritage and a call to reevaluate the racial preferences in college admissions. The hosts highlight a Wall Street Journal piece by Mike Gallagher questioning why elite universities like Harvard and Columbia admit such a high percentage of foreign students while receiving substantial federal subsidies. This leads to a broader critique of the American university system and its role in training foreign nationals who return to their home countries with advanced knowledge.
Cultural commentary continues with reflections on masculinity, fatherhood, and the importance of work ethic. A standout moment features NFL rookie Cam Ward explaining his motivation to wake up early for training, inspired by his father’s dedication to a job he disliked. The hosts use this story to emphasize the value of strong male role models and the cultural awakening among young men who are increasingly questioning mainstream narratives, especially in the wake of COVID-19 lockdowns and school closures.
The hour also includes humorous segments, such as a critique of RFK Jr.’s habit of working out in jeans and boots, and listener talkbacks poking fun at Democratic figures like Gavin Newsom and Joe Scarborough. The show closes with a call to action for listeners to protect their families by creating wills and trusts, and a reminder to subscribe to the Clay and Buck YouTube channel and podcast for more exclusive content.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome back in hour number three Clay Travis buck Sexton Show.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
We appreciate all of.
Speaker 1 (00:05):
You on our five hundred and fifty five some odd
stations in all fifty states.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
Also encourage you to go subscribe.
Speaker 1 (00:13):
You can search out my name Clay Travis, you can
search out buck Sexton. You can subscribe on podcasts. You
can subscribe on YouTube, Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, basically wherever there
are audiences that exist, you can find the show there,
and we appreciate all of you finding us all over
the place. We have been talking about a variety of
(00:36):
different stories. We started off today talking about the New
York Times huge front page story on Democrats losing support
in thirty different states, all thirty where you can register
as a Republican Democrat or an independent. All thirty states
Democrats are losing ground. We have talked about the crime issue,
(01:00):
and indeed, as we were talking to you in the
last few minutes, Pete hag Seth and JD. Vance and
Stephen Miller had a publicly available event at Union Station
where left wingers showed up and screamed at them for
having the audacity to try to lower crime in our
(01:23):
nation's capital, which again is kind of staggering just to
think about that. We would be in a position where
one major political party would have decided, hey, we're opposed
to crime being lowered in our nation's capital, but that
is where they are. And I do think the conversation
(01:45):
that we were having near the end with Karen Bass saying, hey, well,
the problem with enforcing crime laws is too many black
and brown people get arrested. How about all the people
that live in majority black and brown community that have
to deal with criminals not being arrested. This is a
very easy counter. If you wondered whether journalists are doing
(02:07):
their job, that is a very easy question that begs
itself based on that statement. And the fact that we
haven't gotten questions like that, I think is why we
are in a position where basically there aren't real questions
asked of anybody in positions of prominence. Speaking of which,
joy Read also given the fact that Steven Miller and
(02:30):
Pete Hegseth were just addressing the media, says this is
about deleting. I can't believe that these people have jobs
black and brown people so white people don't have to
compete with them. Joy Read, is so crazy that MS
now no longer MSNBC MS now. But my suggestion for
(02:51):
that network's rebrand, and I think this is a good one,
is to rebrand it as Menopause because most of their
audience is postmenopauseal women and spell pause paws for the
cat ladies out there. I think it is a brilliant rebrand.
(03:12):
I just say, if I look at you.
Speaker 3 (03:14):
Third hour of the show taking taked shots at the
cat owners of a McClay, you know what happens to
our inbox? You know this is it's going to turn
into a kiddie litter box. Now, what have you done
to us?
Speaker 1 (03:25):
I will say this is you know Jdi Vance got
criticized for saying that Democrat Party is basically the party
of childless cat ladies. Do you know when the data
came out, they cross tabbed it with pet owners. It
will not shock you that people who have dogs vote
Republican and people who have dogs and cats vote Republican too.
(03:47):
In other words, most pet owners are Republican voters. The
only pet owner group that votes for Democrats are unmarried
women with cats. That is the base of the Democrat Party.
I know there are probably some of you unmarried women
with cats out there that we appreciate you being in
the audience too.
Speaker 3 (04:06):
But MS now's audience is I didn't know this. Sixty
two percent. I just did a quick AI search here.
But sixty two percent women. Yeah, that is the majority
female audience. Now, that is definitely I mean, I can
just guess that is not the case with Fox News.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
Well, I think the challenge that the Democrat Party has
is it really is just a party for unhinged leftist women,
most of them frankly college educated white women, which is
now the base of the Democrat Party. And here is
Joy Reid saying all that Stephen Miller and President Trump
(04:50):
and Pete Hagseeth are trying to do is delete black
and brown people. Cut twenty two.
Speaker 4 (04:57):
The people who now no longer have to worry about
competition to get into Harvard and Columbia and Yale, or
to get the jobs they want, or the military appointments
that they want, or the jobs in the Trump administration
that they want. They don't have to worry about competition
from black and brown people because Steven Miller and Donald
(05:21):
Trump and Pete Hegseth from Fox and all the other
people who are unqualified for their jobs, are deleting all
the blacks and the brains and making sure that they
all get deported and locked up so that they don't
have to compete and cannot compete with the people who
frankly are qualified but have the right complexion for the connection.
Speaker 2 (05:42):
When it comes to mega, she actually has it entirely backwards.
I find this odious.
Speaker 3 (05:49):
This little ranch he gave was odious in so many ways.
First of all, yeah, people are getting locked up, Otherwise
they'd be going to Harvard. Please give me a break. Okay, Like,
you know, if you're shooting people in Washington, DC, you
weren't on the You weren't on the precipice of discovering
the cure for cancer or or waiting for your high
style should be come true. Yeah, I'm sorry. I so.
(06:10):
So that is just insane, and that's a crazy person talk.
But what she's actually addressing here is we are, finally,
and and I'm gonna say this, boomers didn't deal with this.
You boomers you actually now not you listening, But boomers
in general created this world of racial preferences. But they
didn't have to themselves deal with that world of racial
(06:33):
preferences in college admissions. Like when your dad, Clay and
my dad and when they were going to schools and
trying to apply for jobs, there was Elizabeth Warren's routine
wasn't something that they were as concerned with.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
Okay, I mean it was the beginnings of these things,
but it.
Speaker 3 (06:51):
Ramped up dramatically whereby you had people and I also,
I want to win to Elizabeth Warren, Czech native American
on that was it in the nineties?
Speaker 2 (07:01):
Was it in the eighties?
Speaker 1 (07:02):
You know, she was just as soon as she could
get an advantage competitively on her career, right she said
she was a Native American.
Speaker 3 (07:09):
I mean, you know Boomers and the silent generation, they
didn't deal with this. Let me just point this out
what Joy Reid doesn't understand the basic reality of what
affirmative action was, which was the affirmative action regime that
you and I when we applied to college was very
strongly in place. Meant that in my class black and
Latino students in my scholarship school, for example, where the
(07:33):
average income was actually the average household income, which in
New York means half really of the average household income,
a lot of low income kids in my class. If
you were black and Latino. It was which Ivy League
school do you want to go to? Basically, just by
being in that class, there was an assumption that you
were going to get into an Ivy League school. Some
of them would get into all the Ivy League schools.
(07:53):
If you were Asian or white, it was do you
have a fifteen hundred plus in the SAT? If not,
don't even think about it? What Rea and she went
to Harvard. Of course, what jore Reed is lamenting here
is the end of students who have eleven hundred on
the SAT who are black getting into Harvard. That's what
she's actually lamenting. That was racist, then it is racist
(08:13):
now that should not happen. But that's what was happening
for decades. So let's just call it what it is.
No more Latino and black students who are in the
middle range nationally of SATs going to a top five school.
That's ending now, or it should be ending now based
on the law.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
There's actually and I want to play a cut here
in a sec but this is building on Mike Gallagher,
who we've had on the show before, used to be
a congressman from the Green Bay area. I think of
Wisconsin has a really good piece in the Wall Street
Journal this morning which says, Hey, while we're examining all
these Ivy League admission rates, maybe we should have a
national conversation about why thirty percent of all Harvard undergrad
(08:54):
admits are foreigners, and why forty percent of Columbia admits
our foreigners. If we are giving all of these universities
such huge federal subsidies, and if we believe that their
educational merit and value is so extreme that it is
a tremendous opportunity to get into these schools, shouldn't we
(09:15):
be educating American citizens instead of educating kids from other
places around the world then sending them back to their home.
Speaker 3 (09:24):
I find this. This is an absolute betrayal by our
American university system. It's a Paul like but I do
not give a dollar to my college. I will not
give a dollar to my college. I disagree. And people say, oh,
but look what they did for you. My parents paid
like sixty thousand dollars a year for me to go
to that place. We're good, Okay, we're square. I don't
give them any money. I disagree with what they do.
I disagree with their philosophy. But that's true of so
(09:45):
many of these schools, Clay, a lot of these so
called elite institutions they're training, and especially when you get
into the higher technology and higher math and physics institutions
out there like MIT and Caltech in these places training
kids from Beijing who go back to Beijing's and they're
(10:05):
doing this on US soil, with US taxpayer subsidies, massive
subsidies for the whole thing.
Speaker 1 (10:12):
Yeah, it's a big deal and it should be talked
about more. I knew the numbers were substantial. Forty percent
of Colombia is foreigners. When you wonder, how in the
world do they end up being so profoundly anti Semitic,
and who are the kids that are taken over to
that campus and protesting and everything else.
Speaker 2 (10:31):
A lot of them are foreign But.
Speaker 1 (10:33):
I wanted to play this because we talked about young
men and sort of the cultural awakening that is happening
for white, Asian, Hispanic black young men.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
This clip has gone viral. I don't know if you've
seen it. Buck.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
There's a couple of segments here. This is Amanda Seals,
who is a black radical, getting absolutely schooled by a
young black conservative. In one of these debate setups. Listen
to this kid, just absolute what absolutely letter have it?
Here is the first one cut twenty six.
Speaker 5 (11:06):
You can give everyone here like a fifty thousand arch up,
especially people that are in the streets who are committing
violent crimes consistently, a fifty thousand arch check.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
It's not going to fix anything.
Speaker 5 (11:14):
It's not going to increase the median household income the
next ten years by ten percent to twenty percent. For example,
we have the Chinese Exclusion Act of eighteen eighty two.
We prevented Chinese people from getting citizenship and even entering
the country. We discriminated against them and basically put them
under apartheid, even the heure in the United States. Yet
they have the highest median household income. How is that possible?
How come they don't complain and feel entitled consistently to
(11:34):
beg for reparations and beg for this when they are
killing each other ninety percent of the time, which is
the rate that black people kill each other according to
the FBI.
Speaker 2 (11:41):
Oh, Young Matt. Yet white people in the oppressor's I'm.
Speaker 6 (11:45):
Not sure where your education came from, but they lied
to you. Stats don't lie, though statistics lie all the time,
So let's start there, particularly when the statistics are coming
from these sources that gain from the statistics being shown
a different way.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
Well, listen to this second part too, Buck. So he's
saying the truth, which is, as Heather McDonald laid out, Hey,
black people are actually being killed by black people. Why
is the focus on white oppression? And he also pointed
out Asian people have been discriminated against quite a lot
in this country and actually are the highest earning income
group of anybody in America.
Speaker 2 (12:20):
Cut twenty seven.
Speaker 6 (12:21):
Play this too, Comparing Chinese people who are immigrants that
made a choice to come to the United States, and
comparing the continued effort of black people to ground themselves
in a nation that continues to make impediments for them
to show and live and exist in their true citizenship
is a false equivalency.
Speaker 5 (12:38):
I don't believe that happens at all. What no one
here is are you active from anything?
Speaker 2 (12:42):
But I'm telling the truth.
Speaker 5 (12:43):
There's no systemic racism that I've experienced here in America.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
What system is racist?
Speaker 5 (12:48):
I think the only racism we've actually seen recently, a
systemic racist that we've seen is the application of systemic
racism against white people. The University of Western Washington, for example,
has been trying to segregate dormitories using black only dormitories
because black people feel safe amongst each other, but they're
more likely to kill each other than white people are.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
Ever to call them.
Speaker 5 (13:05):
That's just the truth. You have King Vaughan wrapping about
killing other black men. Why should I think that the
white man is the oppressor when black men are more
likely to kill me.
Speaker 1 (13:15):
This conversation has gone megaviral. I just wanted to play
a cut for you. There are lots of young men
out there that, in the wake of COVID, I think
this is tied end buck feel like they have been
lied to by positions of power, people in positions of power,
and they're looking for the data themselves. And you heard
that woman say, well, statistics lie, and he's just sharing
(13:36):
the actual factual data. There are tons of them out there, black, White, Asian,
Hispanic desperately searching for the truth and a lot of
the truth they're finding is different than what they've been told,
and they are rebelling against those in power. And I
think that's really what you're seeing from this younger generation.
Speaker 2 (13:58):
Our federal government has a spending problem. We know this.
Speaker 3 (14:00):
Trump's trying to rain things in. He's also trying to
super boost the economy with growth to try to deal
with this. But the reality is we're going to continue
to have a massive debt problem for years, if not
decades to come, unless a funding solution comes along. And
this is where Jim Rickards has an idea. A fifty
year old, sorry, a fifty year government insider. Jim Rickards
(14:23):
has advised four presidential administrations, and he says President Trump
is on the verge of a breakthrough that could help
our foot out our federal budget tremendously. Rickards is on
the record saying America is anything but broke, and he
thinks that investors will understand why could make a fortune
in the months ahead. If the Trump administration's future move
in this regard is correct, it could actually solve the
government's coming problems when it comes to the debt and spending.
(14:45):
Jim Records believes if you're over fifty, this could be
your best chance to create lasting wealth, regardless of your politics.

Speaker 7 (15:01):
You know them as conservative radio hosts, now just get
to know them as guys on this Sunday Hang podcast
with Clay and Buck. Find it in their podcast feed
on the iHeartRadio app or wherever you get your podcasts.
Speaker 3 (15:15):
All right, welcome back into Clay and Buck. We got
some some updates that just happened for purple haired communists
shouting at Stephen Miller and Vice President Vance outside of
Union Station, you know, Union station, depending on theer at
the time period.
Speaker 2 (15:30):
I knew people who.
Speaker 3 (15:31):
Had their prom Oh yes, I know, I know. They
really put so much money into it. And then the
demo communists decided to just let vagrant sleep and pee
and everything all over the place and panhandle and harass people,
and guess what, no more proms at Union Station. Although
maybe the Trump is going to change that. We'll get
into some of that here in a second. We've got
some good stuff and we've got some great talkbacks here.
(15:54):
Let's start with this is AA Doug listens on WJNO
and West Palm Beach.
Speaker 2 (15:59):
Hit it.
Speaker 8 (16:00):
I am your typical average man. I am six feet tall,
two hundred and fifteen pounds, and I could easily do
one hundred push ups, probably in ten or fifteen minutes.
And trying to do fifty pull ups. Maybe if you
gave me twenty four hours, I could do that, but
I just don't see it be impossible. And for the
(16:21):
average American man either. I'm all with Clay on this one.
Speaker 3 (16:25):
I would agree with this Clay. I've the pushupst that
doesn't phaze me at all. I would be very confident.
I'm also six feet tall, though now I'm one hundred
and ninety five pounds.
Speaker 2 (16:36):
But the pull ups is tough. Pull ups are tough.
Speaker 1 (16:39):
We talked about this yesterday for those of you who
didn't didn't hear, and I think Jesse Waters asked RFK
Junior why he works out in jeans and boots, and
I think we have this audio. I know the Jesse
Waters team asking the biggest questions, the one that we
were talking about yesterday.
Speaker 2 (16:54):
Play it.
Speaker 9 (16:55):
I have to ask you a question that everybody's wondering about.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
Why do you wear jeans when you work out?
Speaker 10 (17:04):
Well, I just started doing a long time ago because
I would go hiking in the morning and then I
go straight to the gym, and I found it was
convenient and now I'm used to it, so I just
do it.
Speaker 1 (17:16):
You buy it, buck? Or do you think big Jeans
has gotten to RFK Junior.
Speaker 3 (17:20):
I think I think he might have little old man
chicken legs, That's what I think. And he's and he's
u because he's got all that TRT and stuff going
for the upper body strength. But I think maybe it
hasn't been able to transferred. I don't know, man, it's
I don't buy that. Come on, you couldn't pay me
to work out in jeans. I had belt.
Speaker 1 (17:38):
I agree with by the way our caller, most I
don't think most men can do an actual pull up.
Speaker 2 (17:47):
I think that's fair. By the way I believe.
Speaker 3 (17:49):
I believe a vast majority of men cannot, especially middle
aged men, cannot do a pull up.
Speaker 2 (17:54):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (17:54):
So the idea that you could do fifty and then
one hundred push ups in five minutes, I mean it
is a brutal workout. And I know a lot of
people have been trying it because I've seen some of
this stuff on social media. But I want to tell
you if your cell phone service Verizon, AT and T
or T Mobile. You're over paying, and what you're mostly
paying for are thousands of retail stores. You're never going
to go into sponsorships you never benefit from. You don't
(18:16):
have to do it. Puretalk uses the same five G
network on the same five G towers. Only difference, Puretalk
doesn't overcharge you for their cell phone service. You can
get unlimited talk text plenty of data for just twenty
five bucks a month. That's less than half the price
of the big guys during a time.
Speaker 2 (18:36):
When saving a buck can really matter.
Speaker 1 (18:38):
Here's how you do it. Get your cell phone dial
pound two five zero and say Clay and Buck. You
say fifty percent off your first month and up to
one thousand dollars over a year. Pound two five zero,
say Clay and Buck. Welcome back in Clay Travis Buck
Sexton show. We were talking about Union Station and we
(19:00):
played some of the cuts of what was going on there.
Let me hit you with a couple of these, then
we'll get to some more of your talkbacks. This was
our friend Steven Miller just a about an hour ago
now on the pro crime protesters. These are the people
that are upset that Trump is trying to decrease the
amount of crime in Washington, d C.
Speaker 2 (19:21):
Cut thirty three.
Speaker 11 (19:22):
All these demonstraders that you've seen out there in recent days,
all of these elderly white hippies, they're not part of
the city.
Speaker 2 (19:29):
It never happened.
Speaker 11 (19:30):
And by the way, most of the citizens of the
Washington d C are blacked.
Speaker 2 (19:35):
This is not a city that has had any safety
for its.
Speaker 11 (19:40):
Black citizens for generations. And President Trump is the one
who is fixing that with the Supportland Metropolitan Police Department
to support the National Park and our federal law most officers.
So we're gonna ignore these stupid white hippies and a
need to go home and ticket nat because they're all
over ninety years old, and we're gonna get back.
Speaker 2 (19:59):
To the protecting the American people and the citizens of
Washington News.
Speaker 1 (20:03):
I know the audio wasn't perfect, but he said all
the protesters are over ninety years old. They need to
go home and take a nap buck. I will say
when we were up for the inauguration, a lot of
the protesters were old and it was cold. We've talked
about this. I kind of just felt sad for them, you.
Speaker 3 (20:18):
Know, we felt bad driving by them. They were not
they were looking like they needed some warm milk and
maybe a blanket. It was not a a Ruckus sponge.
Speaker 8 (20:28):
No.
Speaker 1 (20:29):
And here, by the way, just to give you a sense,
these are the protesters. And remember, these are people protesting
there being too many people trying to decrease violent crime.
Here they are cut thirty two. If you wonder why
are Democrats hemorrhaging support, as the front page of the
New York Times put it, it's because of people like
(20:52):
this cut thirty two. I mean, these are broken brain people.
Speaker 3 (21:17):
Did you hear the shouting about about climate justice too?
That that may be.
Speaker 2 (21:22):
The most brainless slogan. What does that?
Speaker 3 (21:24):
I know it just means communism, But what does it
really mean to the person who's saying it?
Speaker 1 (21:28):
You know, middle of the day, imagine you're like, hey,
what are you gonna do? Well, you're gonna go to work, No,
what are you gonna do? I'm gonna go protest because
there's too many police trying to drive down the violent
crime rate in Washington, DC.
Speaker 3 (21:45):
You know, the only the only protest that I remember
thinking I would go out and march was during COVID
when they made it illegal to protest. They made it
illegal to protest. Everybody they said you can't gather, sorry,
and Lloyd when they then said everybody shouldhow protest, and
(22:06):
that was when any person capable of thinking for themselves
would have known, if they didn't know already, Oh this
whole thing is just a political power grab. That's all
this is. But yeah, you couldn't did you were not allowed.
I would have joined protesters outside during the Uh you know, Clay,
it's so interesting. Sorry, I know I get on COVID
stuff and somebody were like, why, it's one of the
most important lessons of our lifetime. I mean that in
(22:28):
nine to eleven or the two biggest impact. I think, uh,
you know, Trump is really, in many ways a corrective
of both of those events, the expansive wars in the
Middle East and then also dealing with the democrat authoritarianism
of COVID. But Clay, I just think that, Uh, there's
there's a podcast out now. I'm forgetting what it is,
(22:50):
but it's all about how basically fresh air and sunshine
are actually truly important for your health. And it was
on the Diary of a CEO podcast I was listening to.
It's very good, and they stripped us of that while
we were all getting sick.
Speaker 2 (23:06):
This is why the public. I'm a little disappointed.
Speaker 3 (23:08):
I have not seen the sledgehammer taken to the CDC
and the NIH yet. Something will come back to you later.
I don't want to divert from this. We're talking Union
station protesters, but I need those places to feel the fury.
You know that there needs to be real bureaucratic reform,
real political accountability for what those health agencies did.
Speaker 2 (23:31):
This is not directly Union station.
Speaker 1 (23:33):
I'm gonna get to some of your talkbacks in a sec,
but I think you're gonna like this bucket Tizon with
what we were talking about at the first segment at
the end of the last hour about the importance of
dads in the household.
Speaker 2 (23:44):
I saw this. This is cam Ward.
Speaker 1 (23:47):
He was the number one overall draft pick in the
NFL Tennessee Titan quarterback. Remains to be seen how good
he's going to be in the NFL. But he gets
to work really, really early before dawn. And they asked
him about that. Why do you go work so early
in the morning. And I want to play this cut
for you guys. He said, if my dad can get
(24:09):
up at four thirty in the morning for a job,
he doesn't like at all. Then I can get up
really early in the morning for a job that I love,
and I think it goes to culture. It goes to
the importance of dads. Listen to that answer. I think
you guys are going to appreciate it.
Speaker 12 (24:25):
I'm just a big person on work. I say, yes, sir,
I've grown up watched my dad wake up at four
thirty doing a job he didn't like. So no, if
I can't wake up early and do what I need
to do for a job I do like I shouldn't
be playing football, and that goes to everybody in locker rooms.
You can't have the expectation for yourself that you want
to be, whether good or a great player and want
(24:46):
to put the work in. I just think that how
it should go. I just think that things only come
to those who work.
Speaker 1 (24:52):
Okay, it's very simple. But culture. I was talking about
this last night in Chattanooga. You develop in your household
a culture, and the culture can be hey, I'm always
gonna whine and point at somebody else. You develop in
your team a culture. You develop in your place of employment,
(25:13):
place of work a culture, and over time, I really
believe this. I'd like to think on this show, we
have developed a culture overtime. Culture breeds success, and so
if your culture is telling you, hey, you can't do it,
then your culture is right. Most of the time, you're
not going to be able to do it. And if
(25:34):
your culture is man, I don't like my job, but
I respect that in order to take care of my family,
I'm gonna bust my ass and I'm gonna get up
at four point thirty every morning when that alarm goes off.
Speaker 2 (25:45):
I just love that answer.
Speaker 1 (25:47):
I just I love the answer of if my dad
can get up for a job he doesn't like at
four thirty in the morning, then by god, I can
get up early for a job I really like.
Speaker 3 (25:58):
Look, there are a lot of variations on this quote
or this this maxim this truism. But the life that
you want is right there. You just have to do
the difficult things you know you need to do to
get it.
Speaker 2 (26:10):
That's it.
Speaker 3 (26:11):
Yeah, whatever that may be. I mean, overwhelmingly people know
what they should be doing right. Work hard, be you know, focus,
be honest with yourself, be a team player, show up, show.
Speaker 2 (26:24):
Up on all these different things. It's hard to do
those things.
Speaker 3 (26:27):
Yeah, you know, it's easier to not do those things.
And so any any messaging that you get that encourages
you to do the hard things that you know you
need to do to get where you want to get
is great. I mean, I think this player, I'd never
heard of him before, which is not a surprise to anybody
on the follow these things that close. But I love
what he just said. So yeah, he's totally spot on,
and that that should be so encouraged like that. What
(26:50):
his statement should be something that young men across the
country here and there's a focus on and not you know,
the system, I'm not even talking about races, use everything.
The system is rigged against you, or you know, men
are toxic or all these negative things that you hear.
Speaker 1 (27:07):
I also think again, you're as a dad. Young men
can be an uncle, you can be a grandpa. Are
looking to you because they're trying to find a purpose
in life. And when you tell men your purpose in
life is not to be a dad, not to be
a father, not to provide for your family, you are
stripping away a huge amount of their purpose. And so
(27:28):
when you tell them that the things that make them
male historically and throughout centuries are toxic, you are basically
telling them, we don't want you to be a part
of society. And I think there's a lot of men
and women out there that are becoming aware that we
have told young men that, and I think they are
overwhelmingly rebelling against that idea. There's a big difference between
(27:50):
men and women are equal and girl power is a
great thing and the girl Boss era you can lift
up women without tearing down men, and I think we've
missed on that to a large extent. Let's have some fun.
These are some funny talkbacks. By the way, Eric in
San Diego listening out there on Cogo?
Speaker 2 (28:12):
Is it co Go or do I have to say Kogo?
It should be Cog in San Diego? Listen.
Speaker 9 (28:18):
The Left would never allow miss and a Scarborough to
run at the same time because it would create a
worldwide hairjail shortage, and the Antifa type that spikes their
hair would just go off the deep end, crazing a
dystopian universe that would look worse than Mad Max and
then in causing World War three to happen. So they're
gonna have to find somebody who's the bald or has
(28:39):
a natural hairstyle.
Speaker 2 (28:41):
It's very funny. Maybe they can get Jesse Kelly to run.
He's bald ff dan In.
Speaker 1 (28:49):
Dan in Cleveland, Ohio, on WTAM, what you got for us?
Speaker 3 (28:54):
Just want to chime in on this thing about the
black and Hispanic crime.
Speaker 2 (29:00):
I believe a lot of it has.
Speaker 1 (29:01):
To do with the families.
Speaker 2 (29:03):
Don't monitors at home to tell them what's right and wrong.
I really do believe poverty has.
Speaker 3 (29:08):
Nothing to do with it.
Speaker 2 (29:10):
I grew up poor as dirt. I ain't killed nobody yet,
don't plan I'm killing nobody. Yeah, I mean it is a.
Speaker 1 (29:16):
It is a They have to explain how it happens
without allowing individual responsibility to factor in. And so what
they have decided to settle on is poverty and racism
creates violent crime. But as you pointed out, Buck, when
you actually dive into poverty and crime data in New
(29:39):
York City, what you will see is some of the
poorest immigrant communities, particularly Asian, have some of the lowest
violent crime rates in the city. Well, if poverty creates crime,
how do you explain it? And if minorities are uniquely susceptible, well,
why does racism not seem to impact a people? And
(30:01):
those become very difficult conversations. What it ultimately comes back
to is individual responsibility, which to me is the foundation
in many ways of the Republican Party.
Speaker 3 (30:11):
Unfortunately, Democrat Party is absolutely devoted to no accountability for
anyone as long as they vote Democrat. You're not accountable
for ruining cities, You're not accountable for wide open borders,
you're not accountable for go down the list, the destruction
of the family, all these things. There's no accountability. Just
vote Democrat, and it's always somebody else's fault, whoever you are,
whether you're the purple haired antifemaniac or you know, you're
(30:35):
a female minority primary voter who shows up nothing in
your life that you don't like is your fault. If
you're a Democrat, it's somebody else's fault.
Speaker 1 (30:43):
Vote Democrat. And I think, again, this is why I'm
so optimistic. And I know I tend to be optimistic
in general, but I just see so many young men
starting to ask the question, have.
Speaker 2 (30:56):
I really been? Have I lied to?
Speaker 1 (30:58):
And I think COVID was a big part of it,
because if they shut down your school and you didn't
get to go to prom, or finish your basketball season
or you didn't get to play soccer or whatever sport
you love. They get to play football. And then you
find out that you were never in danger from COVID
and that what they told you about why you couldn't
be in school, Well, guess who got to be in school,
(31:19):
the rich kids at the private school. Guess who got
to go to restaurants. Gavin Newsom didn't miss many meals.
They got to hang out at the French laundry with
all his buddies, have their nice glasses of chardonnay. And
you start to think, wait a minute, maybe I need
to do my own research on what the facts are.
And I think more and more smart young men and
(31:39):
young women, but particularly young men, are rejecting a lot
of the lessons that they have been taught. Do something
smart for your family. If you haven't already, how about
a will and a trust. I have this, Buck has this.
I hope we have a lot of years still to come.
But if we don't, we've taken care of our families,
and the family at least know exactly what we want
(32:02):
to happen when we are no longer here. Maybe you're
like Buck and you just had your first baby. Maybe
you're like me, and you got a couple, two three
kids out there, maybe your grandma or grandpa. Have you
gone through the process of letting your family know what
you want to happen after you are gone. Maybe you're
out there and you're saying, I am the peacemaker. I'm
(32:24):
the reason why Aunt Gladys and Uncle Phil can sit
together at the same table for Thanksgiving, because otherwise they're
going to be at everybody's throat, They're going to be
after each other. Can you imagine what will happen when
you rely on those knuckleheads to try to figure out
issues relating to your legacy. Don't you want to take
it out of their hands and just be able to
(32:46):
make the choices that are right for you and your
family to help keep peace of mind in place when
you're not there, to help make peace of mind happen.
That's what entirely a will and a trust is designed
to do. You can go to trust and Will dot
com slash Clay right now and you'll get twenty percent off.
They're experts in creating personalized trust and wills that will
(33:08):

Speaker 3 (33:39):
Closing up shop on Clay end Buck for the day,
I want to remind you all we've got this exciting
thing that we're building out now called YouTube, the YouTube
channel of Play and Buck Show.
Speaker 2 (33:50):
We are all systems go on this one.
Speaker 3 (33:52):
First, we wanted to get to five hundred and fifty stations,
grow that podcast, do some very important things. But now
our focus is on getting as many of you as
we can to also be able to watch the video.
And there's additional content. There's stuff that's gonna be going
up there that you will not find anywhere else. So
go to YouTube dot com at Clay and Buck. That
is what you type in at Clay and Buck and
(34:13):
you subscribe to that channel. We're over one hundred thousand now.
Thank you so much for that it is very exciting.
And with that, the claws are out for Clay. Oh no,
once again, Clay. Let me just say yeah. I think
Clay should always say speaking as a cat owner, and
then he could talk about cats.
Speaker 2 (34:34):
I've seen them.
Speaker 3 (34:35):
They they they just sort of appear instantaneously then disappear again.
I've been in Clay's house. I was like, wait, what
was that. He's like, oh, yeah, it's one of the cats.
Like he's never that excited when they appear, but they
are there. I was the only vote against cats in
the household. For those of you who don't know, when
COVID shut down everything, my wife had all three boys
(34:56):
do a persuasive speech on why we needed to get
cats in the household, all three boys and her.
Speaker 2 (35:03):
I was out voted four to one.
Speaker 1 (35:05):
I couldn't say no to my five year old, to
my what nine year old and my twelve year old
or whatever the heck they were. It was an awful decision.
So I am a double cat owner and I am
not a fan of the cats. But cat ladies are
mad at me.
Speaker 2 (35:21):
Cat ladies clause her out, talkback, GG hit it.
Speaker 9 (35:25):
I worked up suicide hotline four years over fifteen thousand calls.
Speaker 1 (35:30):
Five percentage of those were women.
Speaker 3 (35:33):
One way, it would assure.
Speaker 5 (35:35):
Me they were going to be safe because.
Speaker 8 (35:36):
They had to be alive, pe their cats.
Speaker 3 (35:38):
So they could be safe.
Speaker 1 (35:41):
Oh, that's kind of a That was kind of a
dark talk back there. I was expecting like a humor
and like, I, what do you started? Guys? He kind
of let us across the middle there, and I just
got taken out.
Speaker 2 (35:52):
We don't want anybody to get killed violent crime. Also,
we don't want anybody to kill themselves.
Speaker 1 (35:57):
So I want a doubt. Who's who's response for leading
us over the middle there on this? And the final
final moment.
Speaker 2 (36:03):
Of the show was that was bleak. I know that
was dark.
Speaker 1 (36:09):
I mean, was that producer Greg? Producer Greg to put
him in the stocks. He's in trouble for that one.
I was expected to get made fun of the light
I know exactly. Sorry, I totally will bruser Greg. You're
getting a code read for that one?
Speaker 2 (36:22):
That was rough? Okay, well, hey hopefully you know.
Speaker 1 (36:27):
Uh they're still a liveing tomorrow, but if you are,
I won't be back here.
Speaker 2 (36:32):
A radio show. We got a radio show. It's called claym. Buck.
Speaker 3 (36:35):
It's usually informative and entertaining, and we try to limit
the wompwomps.
Speaker 2 (36:40):
Yeah, don't kill yourself, don't kill anybody.
Speaker 1 (36:43):
I wasn't expecting that to be the tag as we
left today, We'll see tomorrow, kids,
Welcome back in hour number three Clay Travis buck Sexton Show.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
We appreciate all of.
Speaker 1 (00:05):
You on our five hundred and fifty five some odd
stations in all fifty states.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
Also encourage you to go subscribe.
Speaker 1 (00:13):
You can search out my name Clay Travis, you can
search out buck Sexton. You can subscribe on podcasts. You
can subscribe on YouTube, Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, basically wherever there
are audiences that exist, you can find the show there,
and we appreciate all of you finding us all over
the place. We have been talking about a variety of
(00:36):
different stories. We started off today talking about the New
York Times huge front page story on Democrats losing support
in thirty different states, all thirty where you can register
as a Republican Democrat or an independent. All thirty states
Democrats are losing ground. We have talked about the crime issue,
(01:00):
and indeed, as we were talking to you in the
last few minutes, Pete hag Seth and JD. Vance and
Stephen Miller had a publicly available event at Union Station
where left wingers showed up and screamed at them for
having the audacity to try to lower crime in our
(01:23):
nation's capital, which again is kind of staggering just to
think about that. We would be in a position where
one major political party would have decided, hey, we're opposed
to crime being lowered in our nation's capital, but that
is where they are. And I do think the conversation
(01:45):
that we were having near the end with Karen Bass saying, hey, well,
the problem with enforcing crime laws is too many black
and brown people get arrested. How about all the people
that live in majority black and brown community that have
to deal with criminals not being arrested. This is a
very easy counter. If you wondered whether journalists are doing
(02:07):
their job, that is a very easy question that begs
itself based on that statement. And the fact that we
haven't gotten questions like that, I think is why we
are in a position where basically there aren't real questions
asked of anybody in positions of prominence. Speaking of which,
joy Read also given the fact that Steven Miller and
(02:30):
Pete Hegseth were just addressing the media, says this is
about deleting. I can't believe that these people have jobs
black and brown people so white people don't have to
compete with them. Joy Read, is so crazy that MS
now no longer MSNBC MS now. But my suggestion for
(02:51):
that network's rebrand, and I think this is a good one,
is to rebrand it as Menopause because most of their
audience is postmenopauseal women and spell pause paws for the
cat ladies out there. I think it is a brilliant rebrand.
(03:12):
I just say, if I look at you.
Speaker 3 (03:14):
Third hour of the show taking taked shots at the
cat owners of a McClay, you know what happens to
our inbox? You know this is it's going to turn
into a kiddie litter box. Now, what have you done
to us?
Speaker 1 (03:25):
I will say this is you know Jdi Vance got
criticized for saying that Democrat Party is basically the party
of childless cat ladies. Do you know when the data
came out, they cross tabbed it with pet owners. It
will not shock you that people who have dogs vote
Republican and people who have dogs and cats vote Republican too.
(03:47):
In other words, most pet owners are Republican voters. The
only pet owner group that votes for Democrats are unmarried
women with cats. That is the base of the Democrat Party.
I know there are probably some of you unmarried women
with cats out there that we appreciate you being in
the audience too.
Speaker 3 (04:06):
But MS now's audience is I didn't know this. Sixty
two percent. I just did a quick AI search here.
But sixty two percent women. Yeah, that is the majority
female audience. Now, that is definitely I mean, I can
just guess that is not the case with Fox News.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
Well, I think the challenge that the Democrat Party has
is it really is just a party for unhinged leftist women,
most of them frankly college educated white women, which is
now the base of the Democrat Party. And here is
Joy Reid saying all that Stephen Miller and President Trump
(04:50):
and Pete Hagseeth are trying to do is delete black
and brown people. Cut twenty two.
Speaker 4 (04:57):
The people who now no longer have to worry about
competition to get into Harvard and Columbia and Yale, or
to get the jobs they want, or the military appointments
that they want, or the jobs in the Trump administration
that they want. They don't have to worry about competition
from black and brown people because Steven Miller and Donald
(05:21):
Trump and Pete Hegseth from Fox and all the other
people who are unqualified for their jobs, are deleting all
the blacks and the brains and making sure that they
all get deported and locked up so that they don't
have to compete and cannot compete with the people who
frankly are qualified but have the right complexion for the connection.
Speaker 2 (05:42):
When it comes to mega, she actually has it entirely backwards.
I find this odious.
Speaker 3 (05:49):
This little ranch he gave was odious in so many ways.
First of all, yeah, people are getting locked up, Otherwise
they'd be going to Harvard. Please give me a break. Okay, Like,
you know, if you're shooting people in Washington, DC, you
weren't on the You weren't on the precipice of discovering
the cure for cancer or or waiting for your high
style should be come true. Yeah, I'm sorry. I so.
(06:10):
So that is just insane, and that's a crazy person talk.
But what she's actually addressing here is we are, finally,
and and I'm gonna say this, boomers didn't deal with this.
You boomers you actually now not you listening, But boomers
in general created this world of racial preferences. But they
didn't have to themselves deal with that world of racial
(06:33):
preferences in college admissions. Like when your dad, Clay and
my dad and when they were going to schools and
trying to apply for jobs, there was Elizabeth Warren's routine
wasn't something that they were as concerned with.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
Okay, I mean it was the beginnings of these things,
but it.
Speaker 3 (06:51):
Ramped up dramatically whereby you had people and I also,
I want to win to Elizabeth Warren, Czech native American
on that was it in the nineties?
Speaker 2 (07:01):
Was it in the eighties?
Speaker 1 (07:02):
You know, she was just as soon as she could
get an advantage competitively on her career, right she said
she was a Native American.
Speaker 3 (07:09):
I mean, you know Boomers and the silent generation, they
didn't deal with this. Let me just point this out
what Joy Reid doesn't understand the basic reality of what
affirmative action was, which was the affirmative action regime that
you and I when we applied to college was very
strongly in place. Meant that in my class black and
Latino students in my scholarship school, for example, where the
(07:33):
average income was actually the average household income, which in
New York means half really of the average household income,
a lot of low income kids in my class. If
you were black and Latino. It was which Ivy League
school do you want to go to? Basically, just by
being in that class, there was an assumption that you
were going to get into an Ivy League school. Some
of them would get into all the Ivy League schools.
(07:53):
If you were Asian or white, it was do you
have a fifteen hundred plus in the SAT? If not,
don't even think about it? What Rea and she went
to Harvard. Of course, what jore Reed is lamenting here
is the end of students who have eleven hundred on
the SAT who are black getting into Harvard. That's what
she's actually lamenting. That was racist, then it is racist
(08:13):
now that should not happen. But that's what was happening
for decades. So let's just call it what it is.
No more Latino and black students who are in the
middle range nationally of SATs going to a top five school.
That's ending now, or it should be ending now based
on the law.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
There's actually and I want to play a cut here
in a sec but this is building on Mike Gallagher,
who we've had on the show before, used to be
a congressman from the Green Bay area. I think of
Wisconsin has a really good piece in the Wall Street
Journal this morning which says, Hey, while we're examining all
these Ivy League admission rates, maybe we should have a
national conversation about why thirty percent of all Harvard undergrad
(08:54):
admits are foreigners, and why forty percent of Columbia admits
our foreigners. If we are giving all of these universities
such huge federal subsidies, and if we believe that their
educational merit and value is so extreme that it is
a tremendous opportunity to get into these schools, shouldn't we
(09:15):
be educating American citizens instead of educating kids from other
places around the world then sending them back to their home.
Speaker 3 (09:24):
I find this. This is an absolute betrayal by our
American university system. It's a Paul like but I do
not give a dollar to my college. I will not
give a dollar to my college. I disagree. And people say, oh,
but look what they did for you. My parents paid
like sixty thousand dollars a year for me to go
to that place. We're good, Okay, we're square. I don't
give them any money. I disagree with what they do.
I disagree with their philosophy. But that's true of so
(09:45):
many of these schools, Clay, a lot of these so
called elite institutions they're training, and especially when you get
into the higher technology and higher math and physics institutions
out there like MIT and Caltech in these places training
kids from Beijing who go back to Beijing's and they're
(10:05):
doing this on US soil, with US taxpayer subsidies, massive
subsidies for the whole thing.
Speaker 1 (10:12):
Yeah, it's a big deal and it should be talked
about more. I knew the numbers were substantial. Forty percent
of Colombia is foreigners. When you wonder, how in the
world do they end up being so profoundly anti Semitic,
and who are the kids that are taken over to
that campus and protesting and everything else.
Speaker 2 (10:31):
A lot of them are foreign But.
Speaker 1 (10:33):
I wanted to play this because we talked about young
men and sort of the cultural awakening that is happening
for white, Asian, Hispanic black young men.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
This clip has gone viral. I don't know if you've
seen it. Buck.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
There's a couple of segments here. This is Amanda Seals,
who is a black radical, getting absolutely schooled by a
young black conservative. In one of these debate setups. Listen
to this kid, just absolute what absolutely letter have it?
Here is the first one cut twenty six.
Speaker 5 (11:06):
You can give everyone here like a fifty thousand arch up,
especially people that are in the streets who are committing
violent crimes consistently, a fifty thousand arch check.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
It's not going to fix anything.
Speaker 5 (11:14):
It's not going to increase the median household income the
next ten years by ten percent to twenty percent. For example,
we have the Chinese Exclusion Act of eighteen eighty two.
We prevented Chinese people from getting citizenship and even entering
the country. We discriminated against them and basically put them
under apartheid, even the heure in the United States. Yet
they have the highest median household income. How is that possible?
How come they don't complain and feel entitled consistently to
(11:34):
beg for reparations and beg for this when they are
killing each other ninety percent of the time, which is
the rate that black people kill each other according to
the FBI.
Speaker 2 (11:41):
Oh, Young Matt. Yet white people in the oppressor's I'm.
Speaker 6 (11:45):
Not sure where your education came from, but they lied
to you. Stats don't lie, though statistics lie all the time,
So let's start there, particularly when the statistics are coming
from these sources that gain from the statistics being shown
a different way.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
Well, listen to this second part too, Buck. So he's
saying the truth, which is, as Heather McDonald laid out, Hey,
black people are actually being killed by black people. Why
is the focus on white oppression? And he also pointed
out Asian people have been discriminated against quite a lot
in this country and actually are the highest earning income
group of anybody in America.
Speaker 2 (12:20):
Cut twenty seven.
Speaker 6 (12:21):
Play this too, Comparing Chinese people who are immigrants that
made a choice to come to the United States, and
comparing the continued effort of black people to ground themselves
in a nation that continues to make impediments for them
to show and live and exist in their true citizenship
is a false equivalency.
Speaker 5 (12:38):
I don't believe that happens at all. What no one
here is are you active from anything?
Speaker 2 (12:42):
But I'm telling the truth.
Speaker 5 (12:43):
There's no systemic racism that I've experienced here in America.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
What system is racist?
Speaker 5 (12:48):
I think the only racism we've actually seen recently, a
systemic racist that we've seen is the application of systemic
racism against white people. The University of Western Washington, for example,
has been trying to segregate dormitories using black only dormitories
because black people feel safe amongst each other, but they're
more likely to kill each other than white people are.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
Ever to call them.
Speaker 5 (13:05):
That's just the truth. You have King Vaughan wrapping about
killing other black men. Why should I think that the
white man is the oppressor when black men are more
likely to kill me.
Speaker 1 (13:15):
This conversation has gone megaviral. I just wanted to play
a cut for you. There are lots of young men
out there that, in the wake of COVID, I think
this is tied end buck feel like they have been
lied to by positions of power, people in positions of power,
and they're looking for the data themselves. And you heard
that woman say, well, statistics lie, and he's just sharing
(13:36):
the actual factual data. There are tons of them out there, black, White, Asian,
Hispanic desperately searching for the truth and a lot of
the truth they're finding is different than what they've been told,
and they are rebelling against those in power. And I
think that's really what you're seeing from this younger generation.
Speaker 2 (13:58):
Our federal government has a spending problem. We know this.
Speaker 3 (14:00):
Trump's trying to rain things in. He's also trying to
super boost the economy with growth to try to deal
with this. But the reality is we're going to continue
to have a massive debt problem for years, if not
decades to come, unless a funding solution comes along. And
this is where Jim Rickards has an idea. A fifty
year old, sorry, a fifty year government insider. Jim Rickards
(14:23):
has advised four presidential administrations, and he says President Trump
is on the verge of a breakthrough that could help
our foot out our federal budget tremendously. Rickards is on
the record saying America is anything but broke, and he
thinks that investors will understand why could make a fortune
in the months ahead. If the Trump administration's future move
in this regard is correct, it could actually solve the
government's coming problems when it comes to the debt and spending.
(14:45):
Jim Records believes if you're over fifty, this could be
your best chance to create lasting wealth, regardless of your politics.

You know them as conservative radio hosts, now just get
to know them as guys on this Sunday Hang podcast
with Clay and Buck. Find it in their podcast feed
on the iHeartRadio app or wherever you get your podcasts.
Speaker 3 (15:15):
All right, welcome back into Clay and Buck. We got
some some updates that just happened for purple haired communists
shouting at Stephen Miller and Vice President Vance outside of
Union Station, you know, Union station, depending on theer at
the time period.
Speaker 2 (15:30):
I knew people who.
Speaker 3 (15:31):
Had their prom Oh yes, I know, I know. They
really put so much money into it. And then the
demo communists decided to just let vagrant sleep and pee
and everything all over the place and panhandle and harass people,
and guess what, no more proms at Union Station. Although
maybe the Trump is going to change that. We'll get
into some of that here in a second. We've got
some good stuff and we've got some great talkbacks here.
(15:54):
Let's start with this is AA Doug listens on WJNO
and West Palm Beach.
Speaker 2 (15:59):
Hit it.
Speaker 8 (16:00):
I am your typical average man. I am six feet tall,
two hundred and fifteen pounds, and I could easily do
one hundred push ups, probably in ten or fifteen minutes.
And trying to do fifty pull ups. Maybe if you
gave me twenty four hours, I could do that, but
I just don't see it be impossible. And for the
(16:21):
average American man either. I'm all with Clay on this one.
Speaker 3 (16:25):
I would agree with this Clay. I've the pushupst that
doesn't phaze me at all. I would be very confident.
I'm also six feet tall, though now I'm one hundred
and ninety five pounds.
Speaker 2 (16:36):
But the pull ups is tough. Pull ups are tough.
Speaker 1 (16:39):
We talked about this yesterday for those of you who
didn't didn't hear, and I think Jesse Waters asked RFK
Junior why he works out in jeans and boots, and
I think we have this audio. I know the Jesse
Waters team asking the biggest questions, the one that we
were talking about yesterday.
Speaker 2 (16:54):
Play it.
Speaker 9 (16:55):
I have to ask you a question that everybody's wondering about.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
Why do you wear jeans when you work out?
Speaker 10 (17:04):
Well, I just started doing a long time ago because
I would go hiking in the morning and then I
go straight to the gym, and I found it was
convenient and now I'm used to it, so I just
do it.
Speaker 1 (17:16):
You buy it, buck? Or do you think big Jeans
has gotten to RFK Junior.
Speaker 3 (17:20):
I think I think he might have little old man
chicken legs, That's what I think. And he's and he's
u because he's got all that TRT and stuff going
for the upper body strength. But I think maybe it
hasn't been able to transferred. I don't know, man, it's
I don't buy that. Come on, you couldn't pay me
to work out in jeans. I had belt.
Speaker 1 (17:38):
I agree with by the way our caller, most I
don't think most men can do an actual pull up.
Speaker 2 (17:47):
I think that's fair. By the way I believe.
Speaker 3 (17:49):
I believe a vast majority of men cannot, especially middle
aged men, cannot do a pull up.
Speaker 2 (17:54):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (17:54):
So the idea that you could do fifty and then
one hundred push ups in five minutes, I mean it
is a brutal workout. And I know a lot of
people have been trying it because I've seen some of
this stuff on social media. But I want to tell
you if your cell phone service Verizon, AT and T
or T Mobile. You're over paying, and what you're mostly
paying for are thousands of retail stores. You're never going
to go into sponsorships you never benefit from. You don't
(18:16):
have to do it. Puretalk uses the same five G
network on the same five G towers. Only difference, Puretalk
doesn't overcharge you for their cell phone service. You can
get unlimited talk text plenty of data for just twenty
five bucks a month. That's less than half the price
of the big guys during a time.
Speaker 2 (18:36):
When saving a buck can really matter.
Speaker 1 (18:38):
Here's how you do it. Get your cell phone dial
pound two five zero and say Clay and Buck. You
say fifty percent off your first month and up to
one thousand dollars over a year. Pound two five zero,
say Clay and Buck. Welcome back in Clay Travis Buck
Sexton show. We were talking about Union Station and we
(19:00):
played some of the cuts of what was going on there.
Let me hit you with a couple of these, then
we'll get to some more of your talkbacks. This was
our friend Steven Miller just a about an hour ago
now on the pro crime protesters. These are the people
that are upset that Trump is trying to decrease the
amount of crime in Washington, d C.
Speaker 2 (19:21):
Cut thirty three.
Speaker 11 (19:22):
All these demonstraders that you've seen out there in recent days,
all of these elderly white hippies, they're not part of
the city.
Speaker 2 (19:29):
It never happened.
Speaker 11 (19:30):
And by the way, most of the citizens of the
Washington d C are blacked.
Speaker 2 (19:35):
This is not a city that has had any safety
for its.
Speaker 11 (19:40):
Black citizens for generations. And President Trump is the one
who is fixing that with the Supportland Metropolitan Police Department
to support the National Park and our federal law most officers.
So we're gonna ignore these stupid white hippies and a
need to go home and ticket nat because they're all
over ninety years old, and we're gonna get back.
Speaker 2 (19:59):
To the protecting the American people and the citizens of
Washington News.
Speaker 1 (20:03):
I know the audio wasn't perfect, but he said all
the protesters are over ninety years old. They need to
go home and take a nap buck. I will say
when we were up for the inauguration, a lot of
the protesters were old and it was cold. We've talked
about this. I kind of just felt sad for them, you.
Speaker 3 (20:18):
Know, we felt bad driving by them. They were not
they were looking like they needed some warm milk and
maybe a blanket. It was not a a Ruckus sponge.
Speaker 8 (20:28):
No.
Speaker 1 (20:29):
And here, by the way, just to give you a sense,
these are the protesters. And remember, these are people protesting
there being too many people trying to decrease violent crime.
Here they are cut thirty two. If you wonder why
are Democrats hemorrhaging support, as the front page of the
New York Times put it, it's because of people like
(20:52):
this cut thirty two. I mean, these are broken brain people.
Speaker 3 (21:17):
Did you hear the shouting about about climate justice too?
That that may be.
Speaker 2 (21:22):
The most brainless slogan. What does that?
Speaker 3 (21:24):
I know it just means communism, But what does it
really mean to the person who's saying it?
Speaker 1 (21:28):
You know, middle of the day, imagine you're like, hey,
what are you gonna do? Well, you're gonna go to work, No,
what are you gonna do? I'm gonna go protest because
there's too many police trying to drive down the violent
crime rate in Washington, DC.
Speaker 3 (21:45):
You know, the only the only protest that I remember
thinking I would go out and march was during COVID
when they made it illegal to protest. They made it
illegal to protest. Everybody they said you can't gather, sorry,
and Lloyd when they then said everybody shouldhow protest, and
(22:06):
that was when any person capable of thinking for themselves
would have known, if they didn't know already, Oh this
whole thing is just a political power grab. That's all
this is. But yeah, you couldn't did you were not allowed.
I would have joined protesters outside during the Uh you know, Clay,
it's so interesting. Sorry, I know I get on COVID
stuff and somebody were like, why, it's one of the
most important lessons of our lifetime. I mean that in
(22:28):
nine to eleven or the two biggest impact. I think, uh,
you know, Trump is really, in many ways a corrective
of both of those events, the expansive wars in the
Middle East and then also dealing with the democrat authoritarianism
of COVID. But Clay, I just think that, Uh, there's
there's a podcast out now. I'm forgetting what it is,
(22:50):
but it's all about how basically fresh air and sunshine
are actually truly important for your health. And it was
on the Diary of a CEO podcast I was listening to.
It's very good, and they stripped us of that while
we were all getting sick.
Speaker 2 (23:06):
This is why the public. I'm a little disappointed.
Speaker 3 (23:08):
I have not seen the sledgehammer taken to the CDC
and the NIH yet. Something will come back to you later.
I don't want to divert from this. We're talking Union
station protesters, but I need those places to feel the fury.
You know that there needs to be real bureaucratic reform,
real political accountability for what those health agencies did.
Speaker 2 (23:31):
This is not directly Union station.
Speaker 1 (23:33):
I'm gonna get to some of your talkbacks in a sec,
but I think you're gonna like this bucket Tizon with
what we were talking about at the first segment at
the end of the last hour about the importance of
dads in the household.
Speaker 2 (23:44):
I saw this. This is cam Ward.
Speaker 1 (23:47):
He was the number one overall draft pick in the
NFL Tennessee Titan quarterback. Remains to be seen how good
he's going to be in the NFL. But he gets
to work really, really early before dawn. And they asked
him about that. Why do you go work so early
in the morning. And I want to play this cut
for you guys. He said, if my dad can get
(24:09):
up at four thirty in the morning for a job,
he doesn't like at all. Then I can get up
really early in the morning for a job that I love,
and I think it goes to culture. It goes to
the importance of dads. Listen to that answer. I think
you guys are going to appreciate it.
Speaker 12 (24:25):
I'm just a big person on work. I say, yes, sir,
I've grown up watched my dad wake up at four
thirty doing a job he didn't like. So no, if
I can't wake up early and do what I need
to do for a job I do like I shouldn't
be playing football, and that goes to everybody in locker rooms.
You can't have the expectation for yourself that you want
to be, whether good or a great player and want
(24:46):
to put the work in. I just think that how
it should go. I just think that things only come
to those who work.
Speaker 1 (24:52):
Okay, it's very simple. But culture. I was talking about
this last night in Chattanooga. You develop in your household
a culture, and the culture can be hey, I'm always
gonna whine and point at somebody else. You develop in
your team a culture. You develop in your place of employment,
(25:13):
place of work a culture, and over time, I really
believe this. I'd like to think on this show, we
have developed a culture overtime. Culture breeds success, and so
if your culture is telling you, hey, you can't do it,
then your culture is right. Most of the time, you're
not going to be able to do it. And if
(25:34):
your culture is man, I don't like my job, but
I respect that in order to take care of my family,
I'm gonna bust my ass and I'm gonna get up
at four point thirty every morning when that alarm goes off.
Speaker 2 (25:45):
I just love that answer.
Speaker 1 (25:47):
I just I love the answer of if my dad
can get up for a job he doesn't like at
four thirty in the morning, then by god, I can
get up early for a job I really like.
Speaker 3 (25:58):
Look, there are a lot of variations on this quote
or this this maxim this truism. But the life that
you want is right there. You just have to do
the difficult things you know you need to do to
get it.
Speaker 2 (26:10):
That's it.
Speaker 3 (26:11):
Yeah, whatever that may be. I mean, overwhelmingly people know
what they should be doing right. Work hard, be you know, focus,
be honest with yourself, be a team player, show up, show.
Speaker 2 (26:24):
Up on all these different things. It's hard to do
those things.
Speaker 3 (26:27):
Yeah, you know, it's easier to not do those things.
And so any any messaging that you get that encourages
you to do the hard things that you know you
need to do to get where you want to get
is great. I mean, I think this player, I'd never
heard of him before, which is not a surprise to anybody
on the follow these things that close. But I love
what he just said. So yeah, he's totally spot on,
and that that should be so encouraged like that. What
(26:50):
his statement should be something that young men across the
country here and there's a focus on and not you know,
the system, I'm not even talking about races, use everything.
The system is rigged against you, or you know, men
are toxic or all these negative things that you hear.
Speaker 1 (27:07):
I also think again, you're as a dad. Young men
can be an uncle, you can be a grandpa. Are
looking to you because they're trying to find a purpose
in life. And when you tell men your purpose in
life is not to be a dad, not to be
a father, not to provide for your family, you are
stripping away a huge amount of their purpose. And so
(27:28):
when you tell them that the things that make them
male historically and throughout centuries are toxic, you are basically
telling them, we don't want you to be a part
of society. And I think there's a lot of men
and women out there that are becoming aware that we
have told young men that, and I think they are
overwhelmingly rebelling against that idea. There's a big difference between
(27:50):
men and women are equal and girl power is a
great thing and the girl Boss era you can lift
up women without tearing down men, and I think we've
missed on that to a large extent. Let's have some fun.
These are some funny talkbacks. By the way, Eric in
San Diego listening out there on Cogo?
Speaker 2 (28:12):
Is it co Go or do I have to say Kogo?
It should be Cog in San Diego? Listen.
Speaker 9 (28:18):
The Left would never allow miss and a Scarborough to
run at the same time because it would create a
worldwide hairjail shortage, and the Antifa type that spikes their
hair would just go off the deep end, crazing a
dystopian universe that would look worse than Mad Max and
then in causing World War three to happen. So they're
gonna have to find somebody who's the bald or has
(28:39):
a natural hairstyle.
Speaker 2 (28:41):
It's very funny. Maybe they can get Jesse Kelly to run.
He's bald ff dan In.
Speaker 1 (28:49):
Dan in Cleveland, Ohio, on WTAM, what you got for us?
Speaker 3 (28:54):
Just want to chime in on this thing about the
black and Hispanic crime.
Speaker 2 (29:00):
I believe a lot of it has.
Speaker 1 (29:01):
To do with the families.
Speaker 2 (29:03):
Don't monitors at home to tell them what's right and wrong.
I really do believe poverty has.
Speaker 3 (29:08):
Nothing to do with it.
Speaker 2 (29:10):
I grew up poor as dirt. I ain't killed nobody yet,
don't plan I'm killing nobody. Yeah, I mean it is a.
Speaker 1 (29:16):
It is a They have to explain how it happens
without allowing individual responsibility to factor in. And so what
they have decided to settle on is poverty and racism
creates violent crime. But as you pointed out, Buck, when
you actually dive into poverty and crime data in New
(29:39):
York City, what you will see is some of the
poorest immigrant communities, particularly Asian, have some of the lowest
violent crime rates in the city. Well, if poverty creates crime,
how do you explain it? And if minorities are uniquely susceptible, well,
why does racism not seem to impact a people? And
(30:01):
those become very difficult conversations. What it ultimately comes back
to is individual responsibility, which to me is the foundation
in many ways of the Republican Party.
Speaker 3 (30:11):
Unfortunately, Democrat Party is absolutely devoted to no accountability for
anyone as long as they vote Democrat. You're not accountable
for ruining cities, You're not accountable for wide open borders,
you're not accountable for go down the list, the destruction
of the family, all these things. There's no accountability. Just
vote Democrat, and it's always somebody else's fault, whoever you are,
whether you're the purple haired antifemaniac or you know, you're
(30:35):
a female minority primary voter who shows up nothing in
your life that you don't like is your fault. If
you're a Democrat, it's somebody else's fault.
Speaker 1 (30:43):
Vote Democrat. And I think, again, this is why I'm
so optimistic. And I know I tend to be optimistic
in general, but I just see so many young men
starting to ask the question, have.
Speaker 2 (30:56):
I really been? Have I lied to?
Speaker 1 (30:58):
And I think COVID was a big part of it,
because if they shut down your school and you didn't
get to go to prom, or finish your basketball season
or you didn't get to play soccer or whatever sport
you love. They get to play football. And then you
find out that you were never in danger from COVID
and that what they told you about why you couldn't
be in school, Well, guess who got to be in school,
(31:19):
the rich kids at the private school. Guess who got
to go to restaurants. Gavin Newsom didn't miss many meals.
They got to hang out at the French laundry with
all his buddies, have their nice glasses of chardonnay. And
you start to think, wait a minute, maybe I need
to do my own research on what the facts are.
And I think more and more smart young men and
(31:39):
young women, but particularly young men, are rejecting a lot
of the lessons that they have been taught. Do something
smart for your family. If you haven't already, how about
a will and a trust. I have this, Buck has this.
I hope we have a lot of years still to come.
But if we don't, we've taken care of our families,
and the family at least know exactly what we want
(32:02):
to happen when we are no longer here. Maybe you're
like Buck and you just had your first baby. Maybe
you're like me, and you got a couple, two three
kids out there, maybe your grandma or grandpa. Have you
gone through the process of letting your family know what
you want to happen after you are gone. Maybe you're
out there and you're saying, I am the peacemaker. I'm
(32:24):
the reason why Aunt Gladys and Uncle Phil can sit
together at the same table for Thanksgiving, because otherwise they're
going to be at everybody's throat, They're going to be
after each other. Can you imagine what will happen when
you rely on those knuckleheads to try to figure out
issues relating to your legacy. Don't you want to take
it out of their hands and just be able to
(32:46):
make the choices that are right for you and your
family to help keep peace of mind in place when
you're not there, to help make peace of mind happen.

I want to remind you all we've got this exciting
thing that we're building out now called YouTube, the YouTube
channel of Play and Buck Show.
Speaker 2 (33:50):
We are all systems go on this one.
Speaker 3 (33:52):

grow that podcast, do some very important things. But now
our focus is on getting as many of you as
we can to also be able to watch the video.

up there that you will not find anywhere else. So
go to YouTube dot com at Clay and Buck. That
is what you type in at Clay and Buck and
(34:13):
you subscribe to that channel. We're over one hundred thousand now.
Thank you so much for that it is very exciting.
And with that, the claws are out for Clay. Oh no,
once again, Clay. Let me just say yeah. I think
Clay should always say speaking as a cat owner, and
then he could talk about cats.
Speaker 2 (34:34):
I've seen them.
Speaker 3 (34:35):
They they they just sort of appear instantaneously then disappear again.
I've been in Clay's house. I was like, wait, what
was that. He's like, oh, yeah, it's one of the cats.
Like he's never that excited when they appear, but they
are there. I was the only vote against cats in
the household. For those of you who don't know, when
COVID shut down everything, my wife had all three boys
(34:56):
do a persuasive speech on why we needed to get
cats in the household, all three boys and her.
Speaker 2 (35:03):
I was out voted four to one.
Speaker 1 (35:05):
I couldn't say no to my five year old, to
my what nine year old and my twelve year old
or whatever the heck they were. It was an awful decision.
So I am a double cat owner and I am
not a fan of the cats. But cat ladies are
mad at me.
Speaker 2 (35:21):
Cat ladies clause her out, talkback, GG hit it.
Speaker 9 (35:25):
I worked up suicide hotline four years over fifteen thousand calls.
Speaker 1 (35:30):
Five percentage of those were women.
Speaker 3 (35:33):
One way, it would assure.
Speaker 5 (35:35):
Me they were going to be safe because.
Speaker 8 (35:36):
They had to be alive, pe their cats.
Speaker 3 (35:38):
So they could be safe.
Speaker 1 (35:41):
Oh, that's kind of a That was kind of a
dark talk back there. I was expecting like a humor
and like, I, what do you started? Guys? He kind
of let us across the middle there, and I just
got taken out.
Speaker 2 (35:52):
We don't want anybody to get killed violent crime. Also,
we don't want anybody to kill themselves.
Speaker 1 (35:57):
So I want a doubt. Who's who's response for leading
us over the middle there on this? And the final
final moment.
Speaker 2 (36:03):
Of the show was that was bleak. I know that
was dark.
Speaker 1 (36:09):
I mean, was that producer Greg? Producer Greg to put
him in the stocks. He's in trouble for that one.
I was expected to get made fun of the light
I know exactly. Sorry, I totally will bruser Greg. You're
getting a code read for that one?
Speaker 2 (36:22):
That was rough? Okay, well, hey hopefully you know.
Speaker 1 (36:27):
Uh they're still a liveing tomorrow, but if you are,
I won't be back here.
Speaker 2 (36:32):
A radio show. We got a radio show. It's called claym. Buck.
Speaker 3 (36:35):
It's usually informative and entertaining, and we try to limit
the wompwomps.
Speaker 2 (36:40):
Yeah, don't kill yourself, don't kill anybody.
Speaker 1 (36:43):
I wasn't expecting that to be the tag as we
left today, We'll see tomorrow, kids,
