Hour 3 of the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show closes out the week with a mix of breaking political news, economic analysis, and cultural commentary. The hour begins with updates on Letitia James pleading not guilty to mortgage fraud charges, sparking debate over the weaponization of the justice system and accountability for public officials. The hosts question her rhetoric and emphasize the need for equal application of the law.
Next, the conversation shifts to New York City’s mayoral race, where Hakeem Jeffries officially endorses Zohran Mamdani, the far-left candidate who defeated Andrew Cuomo in the primary. Clay and Buck analyze the implications of Mamdani’s progressive housing policies, arguing that rent control and heavy regulation will worsen affordability and drive high-income earners—and tax revenue—out of the city. They contrast this with Florida’s market-driven approach to housing and governance, highlighting why states like Florida, Texas, and Tennessee are attracting wealth and residents.
Listeners weigh in on whether Curtis Sliwa should stay in the race, invoking sports analogies like the 1980 “Miracle on Ice” hockey upset to argue for fighting against long odds. Betting markets show Momani as a 93% favorite, with Cuomo at 5% and Sliwa at 0.5%, making for spirited discussion about political strategy and grassroots determination.
The hour then pivots to job market challenges and AI disruption, sparked by a caller from Utah who shares her struggles finding work. Clay and Buck explore how artificial intelligence is reshaping employment, disproportionately impacting white-collar jobs such as law, consulting, and HR, while leaving blue-collar roles relatively secure. They predict AI will transform industries faster than most expect, potentially making traditional jobs optional within decades. The hosts also reflect on societal shifts toward wealth versus status, human fulfillment, and the resurgence of faith in an era of technological abundance.
Additional topics include U.S. military strikes on cartel drug boats in the Caribbean, Elon Musk’s prediction of a jobless future, and practical advice for job seekers to network beyond online applications. The segment wraps with lighter fare: Clay’s NFL PrizePicks betting picks, listener debates over the greatest songs of the 1980s—with favorites like “Africa” by Toto, “Eye of the Tiger,” “Danger Zone,” and “Don’t Stop Believin’”—and Buck’s promise to hit 100 mph on the tennis court radar gun.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome back in hour number three, last hour of the week,
fourteen hours up. We are now rolling into the fifteenth hour,
and we thank all of you for listening to us.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
Positive news.
Speaker 1 (00:13):
As we started off the show, all time record highs
in the s and P five hundred in the dal
Jones in the Nasdaq, as inflation has come in lower
than expected, and as mortgage rates are hitting a new
low for the year on both the thirty year and
the fifteen year, and as gas prices hit a four
(00:36):
year low going all the way back to twenty twenty one.
There are many different, very positive stories out there. We
will get to a lot of your talkbacks and they
are of a variety of different perspectives. Have some fun
here in the final hour of this week, but I
wanted to update you on one of the law related
(01:00):
issues that we are currently facing in the country, and
that is Letitia James, having been indicted by a grand
jury in Northern Virginia, has shown up and pled not
guilty in Northern Virginia today. These were some of her comments.
Let's start with cut thirty three.
Speaker 3 (01:18):
This is not about me, about all of us, and
about a justice system which has been weaponized.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
A justice system which.
Speaker 3 (01:28):
Has been used as a tool of revenge. This justice
system which has been used as a tool of revenge
and a weapon against those individuals who simply did their
job and who stood up for the rule of law,
and the justice system, which unfortunately is nothing being used
(01:49):
as a vehicle of retribution.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
I mean a lot of claptrap there here is a
bit more. No fear today, says James, after pleading not
guilty on her mortgage fraud charges.
Speaker 3 (02:04):
I have this belief in the justice system, in the
rule of line. I have a j and I have
a belief in America and all of its individuals who
have stood with me, not only in New York, but
all across the station. I've heard from just about every
jurisdiction in this nation who have said stand up and
(02:25):
be tall and never ever cow down or back down,
or break or bend. So there's no fear today, No fear,
no fear, No fear, no fear, because I believe that
justice will rain down like water and righteousness like a
(02:49):
mighty stream.
Speaker 2 (02:52):
All right, you know what's missing, Clay? Did you do
the thing that the prosecutor says you do? Everything that
she's talking about is like a campaign speech. This is
not about me, This is about you. Now, it's actually
about you. I think this is very straightforward. Did you
(03:14):
do the thing that the prosecution says you did. As
a person who is prosecuting other people for that same act,
you should be held accountable for doing that thing. Otherwise
we have a people who hate Trump don't get prosecuted,
and people who like Trump get prosecuted even if they
did nothing wrong standard, which is what we've been going
(03:36):
through for recent in recent years, including the President himself
of course most notably. So, this should be very, very easy,
very obvious. Did you do the thing that they say
you did? And she's not seeming to claim that she
didn't in any of this. She's just saying that this
is about the broader justice system and all this other stuff. Well,
(03:58):
we'll see about that. So that is one bit of news.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
Another bit of news out there is that we now
have buck an endorsement of Mom Donnie by Hakeem Jeffries,
the minority leader in the House of Representatives. He had
avoided to this point doing that endorsement. He has just
sent an endorsement to The New York Times, which has
(04:24):
just published it in the last few minutes. So as
we sit here roughly what ten days out or so
from the New York City mayor's race, with early voting
officially beginning tomorrow, this is basically the last possible moment
we mentioned this. Eric Adams has endorsed Cuomo. Curtis Sliwa,
according to producer Ali, has agreed that he will come
(04:46):
on the show next week. So at some point next week,
as we move closer to the official election day, Curtis
Sliwa will make his case. So far, Andrew Cuomo has
still refused to come on the program, and I'm assuming
Mom Donnie would refuse to come on the program, but
I guess we could invite him to. This is I
(05:07):
think this is important because but you're a New York
City kid, born and bred. Ultimately, I think all of
the controversies that we have right now, the shutdown, UH,
the uncertainty as to win the government is going to
open back up. I think a lot of it is
rooted in Mam Donnie royaling the waters of the New
York Democrat Party and getting Hakeem Jefferies and Chuck Schumer
(05:31):
very nervous about their own futures in the New York
Democratic Party based on Mamdanni coming from nowhere and winning
as a far left wing nominee and shocking a lot
of people when he bought when he beat Andrew Cuomo
in the primary.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
Yes, I I'm sorry, I thought you were calling for
a clip there. I would say, uh, mam Donnie. Mam
Donnie is going to do some of the things that
he says, so that's concerning. And I would say that
Mamdannie is going to be incapable of moving on some
of the other things that he's working on or that
(06:12):
he says he wants to work on, So it will
be he will be limited by his inefficiency. But overall,
his whole baseline idea that he's going to make the
city more affordable involves doing things that make the city
less affordable. This is the little This is what I
meant when I said, oh, they want to make us
safer by taking away AR fifteens. Air fifteens are not
(06:34):
the problem for public safety anywhere in the country for
that matter. It's just they want to have an excuse
to do something else politically, and they use safety as
a prop in that whole dance. The reality here with
Mamdanni is making the city more affordable would require doing
things that they simply do not want to do, like
(06:56):
less government regulation of rent easier, make it more profitable
and easier for developers to come in and to build housing.
I mean this, The more market based it is, the
more efficient it will become, and the more efficient it becomes,
the lower the prices are. This is the fundamental flaw
(07:17):
and all of the logic from Mamdanism, which is why
we call him a kami. He seems to think that
all of the disruptions and the distortions that exist in
the New York City housing market are the result of
just fat cats and people who don't care about the
poor and all this emotional stuff, when the reality is
(07:39):
that it's people like him that have made the situation
as bad as it is. It's people that think that
if only you know, here's just one example, they'll say, Oh,
we're going to build all these affordable housing units. Okay,
who wants to live next to these affordable housing units?
Not only who wants to live in them, but who
wants to live next to them? Who wants to have
that massive construction going on that will then be filled
(08:01):
with people who are paying effectively nothing to live there. Right.
This is another issue that never gets addressed by these individuals.
This is why when they tried for a while, unto
the Obama administration, to attack zoning, and that sounds like
a really boring thing, but it's actually a really big thing.
Zoning at the state level in places like New York,
so that you would have affluent communities like Chappaqua would
(08:24):
all of a sudden have to have a lot of
low income housing within their town limits.
Speaker 3 (08:29):
Oh.
Speaker 2 (08:30):
Even the Democrats freaked out on that one. Oh, all
of a sudden, All of a sudden, you had Hillary
and Obama voters who were like, WHOA, I don't want
I don't want that low income housing in my area.
The market is the only thing that will really effectively
address the housing shortage, the housing issue. You know, in
a place like Florida, people might say, well, why is
(08:51):
there a housing shortage in Florida. Well, it's cause so
many people moved here so quickly, and now they're trying
to keep up with demand. But they are building rapidly.
One of the problems is they don't have enough people
to build this stuff. Right. But the market will take
care of this because people have to pay more to
get the houses done, more people will go into building.
I mean, this is how it actually works. So just
(09:12):
everything that Ma'm Donnie says he's going to do for
the city on affordability is it's not that it won't work.
It will work to make the city less affordable. And
that's and also when you start to clay have people leaving,
who are the high income urders. One percent of New
York City residents pay fifty percent of the taxes, so
you don't have to lose a lot of people to
start to blow a big hole in the New York
(09:33):
City budget, no doubt.
Speaker 1 (09:35):
And by the way, then that money moves to states
like Florida, Tennessee, and Texas, and it's a virtuous circle
because all of the services get better there. As you've
pointed out, Florida has what most people would consider to
be better government than New York and it costs half
as much. People are still mad at me for saying,
Curtis Lee, what should drop out? Given that it's Friday,
Let's hit some of those talkbacks, buck, beginning.
Speaker 2 (09:57):
With Curtis is going to join us next week. Everybody,
just right, No, that's he's going to have more. We're
figuring out the day, but he's going to join us
and I, uh, I'm looking forward to that conversation. I
think Curtis and Clay are going to be great friends.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
Joe in La at k e IB radio, Uh, he's
got to take bb.
Speaker 4 (10:16):
I agree with all these guys criticizing Clay. Tell me,
Slee what a drop out Clay would have probably had
the US Olympic hockey team in nineteen eighty drop out
instead of playing the Russians. As Herm Edwards once said
the great football coach, you play to win the game,
and if it gives Cuomo a two percent after chance
(10:36):
of winning, Cuomo, you play to win the game.
Speaker 1 (10:42):
Richard in Spokane, we said, we have a great audience
in Spokane, Washington, some of the same people on the
Pacific Northwest listening to us right now at news radio
five ninety kqu and T.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
He says this cc.
Speaker 5 (10:59):
I did seven years in the joint. If you don't
fight because you think you're gonna lose, then everybody is
going to take advantage of you. You fight, win or lose,
you fight, So yeah, you're wrong. Sleewan needs to stay
in and be a fighter.
Speaker 1 (11:17):
Seventeen years in prison, Buck, I mean, that's a that's
gotta be a tough ride.
Speaker 6 (11:23):
You know.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
I'll tell you this a lot of the sleeve with
fans out there basically telling you, Clay, every man dies,
not every man really lives. You know, they want to go,
They want to go with their shield or on it.
You know, they're they're not looking to do anything other
than take this to the mat, take it all the way,
even invoking the great American hockey win in the movie
(11:46):
Miracle against the Russians, which even I have seen, because
producer Mark was so appalled that I had not seen
that movie.
Speaker 1 (11:53):
I tying this all full circle. Monday in New York City,
I helped to raise money with our friend Frank Siller
and Tunnel to Towers. Among the object's auctioned off buck
a nineteen eighty US men's soccer team autographed jersey by
one of the members of that team, maybe Curtis Sleie.
Speaker 2 (12:15):
What can hang it on his wall?
Speaker 1 (12:16):
I will point out, as I am speaking to all
of you, and as the election begins tomorrow, according to
the gambling markets, Mom Donnie ninety three percent chance of winning.
By the way, this is with two hundred and eighty
one million dollars bet on on the marketplace right now?
Speaker 2 (12:39):
Well, is is the mafia rigging this one to Clay?
Speaker 1 (12:43):
I don't know, you know, ninety three percent chance? Quai, Yeah,
Cuomo five percent chance. Curtisly what less, He's got a
point five percent chance?
Speaker 2 (12:52):
All right?
Speaker 1 (12:53):
So if right now you bet on him, you can
get Curtis Lee what to win this race at two
hundred to one, and you put down a dollar, you
get back two hundred. So that is absolutely bonkers. Did
I say that soccer instead of hockey?
Speaker 4 (13:07):
Is?
Speaker 2 (13:07):
I thought I said hockey. I didn't say soccer. I
don't know. Somebody's correcting us. I know it was hockey.
Is a hockey fan, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (13:16):
Producer Greg is lighting us up saying that that we
someone of us said soccer. I mean I think we
said hockey. We know it was nineteen eighty. Oh he's saying.
He's saying that you you said it. So I'm okay
with that as long as it's not my fault.
Speaker 2 (13:29):
Hockey apologies.
Speaker 1 (13:30):
The World Cup's coming up this summer, by the way,
should be fun for soccer fans out there. Buck's a
big soccer guy like like soccer. It's one of my
American traits. You know, my most Unamerican traits is I
enjoy I enjoy watching soccer. I think it's gonna be
awesome in the US. They got the draw coming up
in December at the Kennedy Center, which President Trump probably
(13:52):
I would bet, will show up to be a part of,
which should be very cool in early December to find
out when the games are and how it gets set up.
Speaker 2 (13:59):
I think Trump should he should do. He should do
the play by play for a game, like he passed
the ball, he passed the ball to somebody else, another pass,
a beautiful pass, another pass. Maybe it'll be a goal
at some point, you know. Trump doing play by play
for soccer, I think would be a great boon for
the World Cup.
Speaker 1 (14:20):
It would be very, very fun. I don't disagree. I
don't disagree at all about that.
Speaker 2 (14:26):
He'd be like Dominguez passes to Rodriguez, Rodriguez too, Dominguez
back to Rodriguez. You know, he could sort of do
a whole thing. It would be a lot of fun.
One of the more gratifying projects I've taken on this
year is the launch of a new e newsletter called
Money and Power, and this thing is awesome. By the way,
we're already witnessing an incredibly healthy stock market performance, largely
(14:49):
fueled by the Trump administration. Here's the money in Power is.
It's the biggest political and national security stories merged with
analysis of the markets, and it actually gives you actionable items,
things that you should consider as investment ideas. And I've
obviously partnered with people who that is their expertise picking
great investment opportunities. So there's something that I want to
(15:10):
tell you about. That's the Manhattan Project too. Manhattan Project
two is what I think will be a huge wealth
explosion that ties in AI and Trump administration policy. To

Speaker 1 (15:52):
Sometimes all you can do is laugh, and they do
a lot of it with the Sunday Hang join Clay
as they lap it up in the Clay and Buck
podcast feed on the iHeartRadio app or wherever you get
your podcasts.
Speaker 2 (16:06):
Welcome back in here to Clay and Buck. We'll get
some calls, and also in a few minutes we'll talk
to you about these cartel strikes that have been happening.
The US has been blowing up drug boats in international
waters in the Caribbean, boats that have been leaving Venezuela.
But we have, uh, Christy in Utah wants to chat
(16:28):
with us. What's going on? Christy?
Speaker 6 (16:31):
I I actually called a few weeks ago. I'm the
conservative HR person who suggested that you add hot chocolate
to your crocket copy.
Speaker 2 (16:41):
We are trying ideatually. We've had discussions about this. We
like that idea, But what else is on your mind? Christy?
Speaker 6 (16:47):
So I don't know. I just I wanted to talk
about the economy. I don't know if you guys know this,
but there's I support most of what's going on, but Honestly,
the job market is insane. There are people who've been
out of work for like a year, two years. Like
(17:08):
LinkedIn is flooded with people in all kinds of different
fields that have been looking for work. And you know,
one job post goes up and it gets like two
hundred responsers in a day, so they have to tick
it down. My job was eliminated in July. So that's
how I'm seeing this. So I want to get your
guys's take on this because there are a lot of
qualified people out of work right now.
Speaker 1 (17:32):
Thank you for the call. We can talk about this. No, Christy,
we appreciate your call, and good luck on the job search.
Speaker 2 (17:38):
Where are you.
Speaker 1 (17:40):
I'm in Utah, all right, so tag us at Clay
and Buck. If people in Utah need an HR person
and they want someone who's not insane, just hop in
the mentions or actually just stay online you can. We'll
take down your contact. Somebody can reach out because obviously
we want everybody to get as many jobs possible. Buck
on the backside, we'll talk about this because I do
(18:00):
think there's a big story going on there. But I
want to tell you in the meantime, if you have
got a family, and a lot of you do. And
if you are worried about trying to eat healthy with
that family and a lot of you are trying to
do that. This is exactly what Good Ranchers is all about.
Ben and his wife Corley have built a great American
business to try to feed your family in the same
(18:22):
way they feed their own. They've got four young kids,
and every single day they are thinking about how to
help make Americans eat healthier. These are all American raised meats.
Whether it's chicken, whether it's port, whether it is salmon,
whether it is be all American raised.
Speaker 2 (18:39):
You're gonna love it.
Speaker 1 (18:40):
And right now through Thanksgiving, Good Ranchers encouraging families to
sit down share a meal at least once a week,
and every week one lucky winner gets a free Thanksgiving
ham for sharing a photo on Instagram tag good Ranchers.
Go to good ranchers dot com. My name Clay for
forty dollars off. That's good ranchers dot com. Welcome back
(19:01):
in Clay Travis buck Sexton Show. Okay, we just had
the call Christy. Was it Christy who called in from Utah?
She was talking about the job market. She works in
HR and the challenges that she is seeing. I'm sure
that many of you who are looking for jobs have
seen the same thing. Here's what I think is going on, Buck,
and you can sign on or not sign on to this.
(19:23):
I think that AI is going to be incredibly transformative
for many different companies out there. And I actually think
that some of the jobs that are being pushed aside
right now are actually more white collar than blue collar
(19:45):
in nature. And so there are certain jobs. Let's say
you're a plumber right now, I don't think there's AI
plumbing that is taking away your job. I don't think
that if you're a roofer there's AI roofing that is
changing what you're doing. Truck driving, so far, all those
things quote unquote blue collar jobs working with your hands
in some sort of factory. I think there are a
(20:05):
lot of thought related so called white collar jobs that
a lot of companies are just not filling right now
because they don't know necessarily how quickly AI is going
to advance and eliminate a lot of these jobs. And
so I think there's a bit of an inversion in
the job market where there are a lot of people
(20:25):
who felt very confident, Hey, I'm always going to have
a job. And I talk about this with my boys
even now. I buck I think a lot of lawyers
are going to be losing their jobs in the years ahead,
because when I graduated law school, you had twenty five
year old lawyers who would sit in front of a
computer screen and would be looking through documents and flagging
the relevant documents and all these things, billing hundreds of dollars.
(20:49):
That's going to become automated. I think a lot of
these consulting jobs that people got, a lot of these
investment banking jobs, they are remember the super.
Speaker 2 (20:56):
Skilled, if you remember sharing In the Timeless classic, Clueless
gets into trouble with the mean associate lawyer because she
highlights the June ninth calls or whatever, and she's supposed
to highlight the June fifth calls. But in the nineties
you had lawyers who were making hundreds and hundreds of
(21:17):
dollars an hour doing stuff like that, going through phone records.
Not even just the nineties, I mean until recently. The
Once you start to use AI as a tool, and
I would recommend that all of you do so for
your own lives. As a tool, look, I'll tell you,
and it tells you don't do this, or rather, it
doesn't say don't do this, it says, don't rely on this.
I've uploaded my blood work to GROC to try to
(21:38):
get ideas for health for like, because because the doctor,
you know, the doctor, as you all know, you go
in there for the most part, you get, you get
your five minutes with the doctor. Here's the big problem,
here's this whatever. I'm like, well, what about this? What
about that? I'm always a person who I have more
questions than the doctor wants to answer. I can sit
there and ask. Now, GROC will tell you it's not
(21:59):
a doctor. Same thing with Gemini and these other you know,
uh fratch ept and so you should always consult with
your doctor. But if you're just you know, so, there's
that disclaimer. But it is amazing the detailed information, factoral
information you can get on these things. But you remember
that scene from Clueless, right, oh yeah, it's a great movie,
and he's like, he's like, you do what you want
(22:20):
with your butts. I'm calling in sick, and then she's
like so sad, and then she gets romantic with her stepbrother,
which I feel like everyone is just a little too
okay with in that movie, remember that played by Paul Rujosh. Yeah,
Josh is the step brother and they're playing Smoochy smooch.
But it's like, that's your stepbrother. I think that's weird.
Speaker 1 (22:40):
Do you think that Paul Rudd is maybe one of
the people who has least aged in the last thirty
five years? I mean, I don't know what he does,
but if you look at him in basically his entire
acting career, he doesn't look very different now than he
did all the way back. He's basically looked thirty for
about thirty five years. That sounds about right, probably, Yeah, yeah,
(23:03):
he's not going at.
Speaker 2 (23:03):
Tom Cruise level where you're like, what what alien science
experiments are being run to make him still look like
he should be running around doing fly kicks when the
guy's like my dad's age. But yeah, sure, right.
Speaker 1 (23:16):
What Let me ask you this, though, do you sign
on to my idea that AI initially is having more
of an upper middle class job impact than it is
lower You know, when I say class, I mean like
what your salary is.
Speaker 2 (23:31):
It's an enormous white collar. It's an enormous efficiency tool
for bureaucratic and paper shuffling kind of work. And so
there are a lot of people who work on who
have jobs where that is their job. What is the
job really entail? It entails doing, you know, doing research
(23:52):
for things, going through things, finding things. Well, now you
can upload a you know, you can upload one hundred
thousand pages if you want to into some of these
AI programs and it will give you every citation or
every every statistical example of whatever you're looking for, and
it can do it in a couple of minutes. So
(24:13):
you think about the time savings. We actually talked to
doctor Marty McCay about this and what's going on with
the FDA. Yeah, for massive medical trials, you know which
they do these big you know, ten year, fifteen thousand
person data sets and all this this is gonna make
that Now that's just a I think that's nothing but upside.
But to your point about some of these jobs, here's
(24:35):
what we had an HR A lady from HR calling before, right,
just saying that out loud. I feel like I'm about
to get in trouble for something. Yeah, right, we're gonna
get lady call. So it's just gonna be honest. Clay
and I have existed in the world where you never
want to hear from the HR lady, I'm just gonna
se it's like, you know, especially if it's a lady,
I don't know, You're just gonna get where. It just
means that we said something might have been a joke
(24:57):
that was made.
Speaker 1 (24:58):
Does anyone get excited when the phone rings and they're like, hey,
it's HR. You're like, oh no, Like there's nobody out
there listening to us right now. That's like I've been
waiting for this call. Thank the Lord.
Speaker 2 (25:09):
I'm so so a little bit like when I get
my when I get a letter that says Internal Revenue
Service on it, I'm never like, oh sweet, I'm want
to open this one. So now I understand HR people
are probably all very annoyed with us right now and
would not hire us. But they would say, what about
when I have the amazing news of giving somebody their
dream job? And of course that is a This was
(25:31):
like what Clay the one the one season of high
school soccer I coached. The greatest thing was the joy
on the faces of the kids who wanted to make
the team so bad and were marginal who made it
that there we had. I had a couple of like
stuperstars who were going to go play in college. But
I had two or three. I was like, well, these
kids are you know, they're they're like better than I
ever was and they're freshmen. And then you know, there
(25:53):
were kids that were marginal. That was the greatest thing.
The worst thing was the kids who teared up when
they were close and didn't make it and I had
to tell them, you know what I mean. That's the
so HR cuts both ways, right because yeah, on the
one side you get to tell people dream job. The
other side it's I know this would have been a
life changing salary increase for you, but we anyway. So
I think though in HR and particularly you're seeing AI
(26:14):
is because it's large data sets, it's efficiency based, and
their AI is doing the job of a lot of
HR people right now. And that is our that is
written about. That is clear, that is happening. So what
is HR really going to be doing because it's just
gonna you're gonna set your parameters, I need X amount
of years of experience I need, you know, I'm gonna
look up, prioritize the following schools, et cetera, et cetera.
(26:35):
You can have somebody do this now with ten thousand
resumes and give you your top ten resumes in five minutes,
three minutes. I think that's one hundred percent right.
Speaker 1 (26:44):
I also think there's just a lot of pause on
hiring on those jobs because companies are saying, wait a minute,
maybe we don't fill that opening that we have. Look,
and here is the Elon has come out recently and said, Hey,
we're rapidly advancing to a world I think he said
the other day where having a job will be like
(27:06):
growing your own produce. People can't choose to do it,
but it's not going to be the standard.
Speaker 2 (27:12):
Now.
Speaker 1 (27:12):
These are people who believe that AI is truly, over
the next ten to fifteen years, going to be transformative
in a way that frankly most of us can't even comprehend,
and that we're going to basically have to figure out
a way to reorient society without working being a huge
part of it. This is where I'm reminded of Neval,
(27:35):
who I've mentioned several times before on the show Silicon
Valley guy, founder of Angel List. It's been on a
lot of the big podcasts, and I just think is
a very interesting and sound thinker on things like this.
In particular, and he breaks this down Clay into wealth
versus status in society and wealth and I think you
(27:55):
very much take this approach in general, like this is
a part of your We talked to this who wo
and they're asking, what do you know about Claire?
Speaker 2 (28:02):
What do you know about Buck? I think you believe
that there are ways that everybody can win and everybody
can be doing better. And that's true about wealth and
anybody who denies that all of you right now, who
are who are driving around in your car with your
you know, your Venti Starbucks hopefully your Crockett Coffee actually,
(28:22):
but in your heated seats, with your air bags, on
your iPhone everything else. You are living in a space
age unimaginable future of wealth compared to what King Henry
the Eighth, like the actual king would have had, right you,
your health of us that live better now than the
(28:42):
wealthiest people did two hundred years ago. Yes, basically, your
your healthcare is better, your food is better, your your
comfort is better. Your bed got to get those sheets
from you know what I'm talking about, Cozy Earth. You
know he was robust. You didn't have Cozy Earth sheets
you got you have incredible wealth status is I'm in
(29:03):
a better place than you. Status is how do I
stack up to him or her? Right? Status is a
different thing, And he says that people should always separate
those in their minds. And when you're talking about AI,
you're talking about what should be able to be widely
distributed increases on of societal and global wealth along the
(29:25):
lines of what we're talking about, which is everybody has more.
But it might get to the point where everybody has
so much more that people start to hyper focus on
what somebody next to them has instead of what they have.
And this is where you get into whether people will
be happy, whether people will be fulfilled by these things?
Will will you really be fulfilled? If you have I
(29:47):
don't remember the name of the robotic made from the Jetsons,
but cleaning up everything grow, thank you Rosie making your food,
cleaning up everything, You're still gonna have wants and needs
as a human being. You know you're still you know
this is this this by the way, Clay, I also think,
and I put myself this category two. A lot of
people have really earnestly gone back to their faith and
gone back to church in recent years because I think
(30:09):
they see you now chasing the material things. Material things
may get really boring soon because everyone's going to have
their material needs met. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (30:19):
And for Christy who called in keep your head up.
I've been fired multiple times. I've lost my jobs multiple times.
I know how stressful that entire process is. I know
there are lots of you out there in this camp,
and we hope again that you're going to find employment,
and all of you are going to find employment sooner
rather than later. I do think at a big picture
(30:43):
part of what's going on is AI disruption that is
starting to work its way through the economy. And frankly,
I'm not smart enough to understand exactly what the full
on ramifications of this are going to be, but some
of the smartest people in the world believe at the
next decade is going to be transformative on a level
we may not even be able to comprehend right now.
Speaker 2 (31:05):
Yeah, it may make the Internet look like small potatoes
by comparison. Just one thing I would say for anyone
who's listening who's having trouble finding a job. In my
experience and I've had I've had very different kinds of career,
two very different careers really and looked I've worked in
different kinds of things, so is Clay and Clay started
companies especially now, don't just rely on blind resumes. If
(31:28):
you want to send those in, that's fine, you know,
send them into that inbox. It could work. It could work.
Talk to people, and I really mean that. You know,
you're you're at a car dealership that seems like it's
just really really well run, and you think you'd be
good in sales. Talk to them. Yeah, just just start.
You don't have to be like, hey, I want a job.
Just start, you know, start gathering that information, creating that
(31:51):
contact with people. I think this is true for a
whole range of things, but for finding a job. People
get jobs from other people. You actually don't at a
job from an email inbox. Always remember that.
Speaker 1 (32:04):
I've got a winner. Let's go into the weekend on
some good vibes. I got good vibes for all of you.
Pricepicks dot Com, code Clay fifty dollars when you play
five dollars. Each of these guys is throwing a touchdown pass.
Jackson Dart, Caleb Williams, Mac Jones, CJ. Stroud, all starting
(32:25):
quarterbacks in the NFL. All more on touchdowns more than
one half touchdown pass. If they hit that is a
two point two hit er, which means if you put
down ten dollars, you get back twenty two. You put
down one hundred, you get back two hundred and twenty.
We're going for our fifth win of the season. We've
(32:47):
won more than half so far. Let's keep the mojo going.
Jackson Dart, Caleb Williams, Mac Jones, CJ Stroud. They tweeted
this out from the Clay and Buck account, So if
you just want to see that and you want to
make sure that you're playing along with us, it is
up at Clay and Buck on the Twitter account. I'm
sure it's up at clayanbuck dot com as well. And again,

Lots and lots of good stuff. Speaking of nerding out, Clay,
there are some unhappy people when it comes to your
music takes.
Speaker 1 (34:10):
I know this is one hundred percent justified. I don't
know anything about music, and all of you who are
about to tee off on me that Buck is gonna play.
Speaker 2 (34:18):
I deserve it all. I'm just gonna take my beating. Hey,
we got gg Let's go Gigi first, Tampa Todd, he
calls us. Let's hear it, Hey, play, let's take the sports.
Let Buck talk about the music of the eighties.
Speaker 7 (34:31):
Listen, it's real simple.
Speaker 2 (34:32):
There's a lot of great music in the eighties.
Speaker 7 (34:33):
The eighties might be the greatest music decade next to
the seventies of all time. But the greatest song is
Toto's Africa. Africa by Toto. Every time I hear it
on the radio station, I just smile. It's a great song, Solids.
I put it in top ten.
Speaker 2 (34:49):
Play is gonna just I think he'll defer because I'm
not even sure he knows Toto from Africa. It's not
gonna take a lot to drag play away from Toto.
We have aa a little heat for me. Chris from
tamp another Tampa listener. What's going on? Let's play it
all right.
Speaker 8 (35:06):
Mister sext and they're traveling for the week's over with
got a beautiful Florida weather weekend coming up. No excuses,
no sausage handling until the task is done. We don't
want to damage a rotator cup. Let's get that racket out.
Let's get that one hundred. Let's get a YouTube video
(35:28):
ripping the shirt off with the speed camera saying one hundred.
Speaker 2 (35:34):
I mean, Chris, is a great call. Chris, you got me, buddy,
you got me cornered. I'm gonna play some tennis on Sunday.
I'm gonna take out the new and improved speed Gun
and we're gonna see what we can do. All right,
I'm gonna try to make this happen. We're going to
one hundred boys, one way or another. We're getting to
one hundred. Let's get to a bunch of these really fast.
Speaker 1 (35:53):
This is JJ James in Nashville fifteen ten ninety eight
to three, my hometown.
Speaker 2 (35:57):
What's he say?
Speaker 9 (35:58):
How could you not pick I of the Tiger for
one of the greatest songs of the eighties.
Speaker 2 (36:04):
The great one? Also a top ten for me, also
a top ten.
Speaker 4 (36:07):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (36:08):
Let's see Michael from Florida.
Speaker 9 (36:10):
Ll playing Buck I have You're both wrong? It's danger
Zone from the Top Gun soundtrack.
Speaker 2 (36:21):
Is the best song from the eighties. It's a good one.
It's a good one. It's very good one.
Speaker 1 (36:27):
It's hard not to be nodding along qq Bob in Chicago.
Speaker 2 (36:30):
This may be the one I should have picked. Play

my number one. That is a great one. We love
all of you.
Speaker 1 (36:54):
We'll be back with you on Monday, have fantastic weekends.
Speaker 2 (36:57):
See you then
Welcome back in hour number three, last hour of the week,
fourteen hours up. We are now rolling into the fifteenth hour,
and we thank all of you for listening to us.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
Positive news.
Speaker 1 (00:13):
As we started off the show, all time record highs
in the s and P five hundred in the dal
Jones in the Nasdaq, as inflation has come in lower
than expected, and as mortgage rates are hitting a new
low for the year on both the thirty year and
the fifteen year, and as gas prices hit a four
(00:36):
year low going all the way back to twenty twenty one.
There are many different, very positive stories out there. We
will get to a lot of your talkbacks and they
are of a variety of different perspectives. Have some fun
here in the final hour of this week, but I
wanted to update you on one of the law related
(01:00):
issues that we are currently facing in the country, and
that is Letitia James, having been indicted by a grand
jury in Northern Virginia, has shown up and pled not
guilty in Northern Virginia today. These were some of her comments.
Let's start with cut thirty three.
Speaker 3 (01:18):
This is not about me, about all of us, and
about a justice system which has been weaponized.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
A justice system which.
Speaker 3 (01:28):
Has been used as a tool of revenge. This justice
system which has been used as a tool of revenge
and a weapon against those individuals who simply did their
job and who stood up for the rule of law,
and the justice system, which unfortunately is nothing being used
(01:49):
as a vehicle of retribution.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
I mean a lot of claptrap there here is a
bit more. No fear today, says James, after pleading not
guilty on her mortgage fraud charges.
Speaker 3 (02:04):
I have this belief in the justice system, in the
rule of line. I have a j and I have
a belief in America and all of its individuals who
have stood with me, not only in New York, but
all across the station. I've heard from just about every
jurisdiction in this nation who have said stand up and
(02:25):
be tall and never ever cow down or back down,
or break or bend. So there's no fear today, No fear,
no fear, No fear, no fear, because I believe that
justice will rain down like water and righteousness like a
(02:49):
mighty stream.
Speaker 2 (02:52):
All right, you know what's missing, Clay? Did you do
the thing that the prosecutor says you do? Everything that
she's talking about is like a campaign speech. This is
not about me, This is about you. Now, it's actually
about you. I think this is very straightforward. Did you
(03:14):
do the thing that the prosecution says you did. As
a person who is prosecuting other people for that same act,
you should be held accountable for doing that thing. Otherwise
we have a people who hate Trump don't get prosecuted,
and people who like Trump get prosecuted even if they
did nothing wrong standard, which is what we've been going
(03:36):
through for recent in recent years, including the President himself
of course most notably. So, this should be very, very easy,
very obvious. Did you do the thing that they say
you did? And she's not seeming to claim that she
didn't in any of this. She's just saying that this
is about the broader justice system and all this other stuff. Well,
(03:58):
we'll see about that. So that is one bit of news.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
Another bit of news out there is that we now
have buck an endorsement of Mom Donnie by Hakeem Jeffries,
the minority leader in the House of Representatives. He had
avoided to this point doing that endorsement. He has just
sent an endorsement to The New York Times, which has
(04:24):
just published it in the last few minutes. So as
we sit here roughly what ten days out or so
from the New York City mayor's race, with early voting
officially beginning tomorrow, this is basically the last possible moment
we mentioned this. Eric Adams has endorsed Cuomo. Curtis Sliwa,
according to producer Ali, has agreed that he will come
(04:46):
on the show next week. So at some point next week,
as we move closer to the official election day, Curtis
Sliwa will make his case. So far, Andrew Cuomo has
still refused to come on the program, and I'm assuming
Mom Donnie would refuse to come on the program, but
I guess we could invite him to. This is I
(05:07):
think this is important because but you're a New York
City kid, born and bred. Ultimately, I think all of
the controversies that we have right now, the shutdown, UH,
the uncertainty as to win the government is going to
open back up. I think a lot of it is
rooted in Mam Donnie royaling the waters of the New
York Democrat Party and getting Hakeem Jefferies and Chuck Schumer
(05:31):
very nervous about their own futures in the New York
Democratic Party based on Mamdanni coming from nowhere and winning
as a far left wing nominee and shocking a lot
of people when he bought when he beat Andrew Cuomo
in the primary.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
Yes, I I'm sorry, I thought you were calling for
a clip there. I would say, uh, mam Donnie. Mam
Donnie is going to do some of the things that
he says, so that's concerning. And I would say that
Mamdannie is going to be incapable of moving on some
of the other things that he's working on or that
(06:12):
he says he wants to work on, So it will
be he will be limited by his inefficiency. But overall,
his whole baseline idea that he's going to make the
city more affordable involves doing things that make the city
less affordable. This is the little This is what I
meant when I said, oh, they want to make us
safer by taking away AR fifteens. Air fifteens are not
(06:34):
the problem for public safety anywhere in the country for
that matter. It's just they want to have an excuse
to do something else politically, and they use safety as
a prop in that whole dance. The reality here with
Mamdanni is making the city more affordable would require doing
things that they simply do not want to do, like
(06:56):
less government regulation of rent easier, make it more profitable
and easier for developers to come in and to build housing.
I mean this, The more market based it is, the
more efficient it will become, and the more efficient it becomes,
the lower the prices are. This is the fundamental flaw
(07:17):
and all of the logic from Mamdanism, which is why
we call him a kami. He seems to think that
all of the disruptions and the distortions that exist in
the New York City housing market are the result of
just fat cats and people who don't care about the
poor and all this emotional stuff, when the reality is
(07:39):
that it's people like him that have made the situation
as bad as it is. It's people that think that
if only you know, here's just one example, they'll say, Oh,
we're going to build all these affordable housing units. Okay,
who wants to live next to these affordable housing units?
Not only who wants to live in them, but who
wants to live next to them? Who wants to have
that massive construction going on that will then be filled
(08:01):
with people who are paying effectively nothing to live there. Right.
This is another issue that never gets addressed by these individuals.
This is why when they tried for a while, unto
the Obama administration, to attack zoning, and that sounds like
a really boring thing, but it's actually a really big thing.
Zoning at the state level in places like New York,
so that you would have affluent communities like Chappaqua would
(08:24):
all of a sudden have to have a lot of
low income housing within their town limits.
Speaker 3 (08:29):
Oh.
Speaker 2 (08:30):
Even the Democrats freaked out on that one. Oh, all
of a sudden, All of a sudden, you had Hillary
and Obama voters who were like, WHOA, I don't want
I don't want that low income housing in my area.
The market is the only thing that will really effectively
address the housing shortage, the housing issue. You know, in
a place like Florida, people might say, well, why is
(08:51):
there a housing shortage in Florida. Well, it's cause so
many people moved here so quickly, and now they're trying
to keep up with demand. But they are building rapidly.
One of the problems is they don't have enough people
to build this stuff. Right. But the market will take
care of this because people have to pay more to
get the houses done, more people will go into building.
I mean, this is how it actually works. So just
(09:12):
everything that Ma'm Donnie says he's going to do for
the city on affordability is it's not that it won't work.
It will work to make the city less affordable. And
that's and also when you start to clay have people leaving,
who are the high income urders. One percent of New
York City residents pay fifty percent of the taxes, so
you don't have to lose a lot of people to
start to blow a big hole in the New York
(09:33):
City budget, no doubt.
Speaker 1 (09:35):
And by the way, then that money moves to states
like Florida, Tennessee, and Texas, and it's a virtuous circle
because all of the services get better there. As you've
pointed out, Florida has what most people would consider to
be better government than New York and it costs half
as much. People are still mad at me for saying,
Curtis Lee, what should drop out? Given that it's Friday,
Let's hit some of those talkbacks, buck, beginning.
Speaker 2 (09:57):
With Curtis is going to join us next week. Everybody,
just right, No, that's he's going to have more. We're
figuring out the day, but he's going to join us
and I, uh, I'm looking forward to that conversation. I
think Curtis and Clay are going to be great friends.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
Joe in La at k e IB radio, Uh, he's
got to take bb.
Speaker 4 (10:16):
I agree with all these guys criticizing Clay. Tell me,
Slee what a drop out Clay would have probably had
the US Olympic hockey team in nineteen eighty drop out
instead of playing the Russians. As Herm Edwards once said
the great football coach, you play to win the game,
and if it gives Cuomo a two percent after chance
(10:36):
of winning, Cuomo, you play to win the game.
Speaker 1 (10:42):
Richard in Spokane, we said, we have a great audience
in Spokane, Washington, some of the same people on the
Pacific Northwest listening to us right now at news radio
five ninety kqu and T.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
He says this cc.
Speaker 5 (10:59):
I did seven years in the joint. If you don't
fight because you think you're gonna lose, then everybody is
going to take advantage of you. You fight, win or lose,
you fight, So yeah, you're wrong. Sleewan needs to stay
in and be a fighter.
Speaker 1 (11:17):
Seventeen years in prison, Buck, I mean, that's a that's
gotta be a tough ride.
Speaker 6 (11:23):
You know.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
I'll tell you this a lot of the sleeve with
fans out there basically telling you, Clay, every man dies,
not every man really lives. You know, they want to go,
They want to go with their shield or on it.
You know, they're they're not looking to do anything other
than take this to the mat, take it all the way,
even invoking the great American hockey win in the movie
(11:46):
Miracle against the Russians, which even I have seen, because
producer Mark was so appalled that I had not seen
that movie.
Speaker 1 (11:53):
I tying this all full circle. Monday in New York City,
I helped to raise money with our friend Frank Siller
and Tunnel to Towers. Among the object's auctioned off buck
a nineteen eighty US men's soccer team autographed jersey by
one of the members of that team, maybe Curtis Sleie.
Speaker 2 (12:15):
What can hang it on his wall?
Speaker 1 (12:16):
I will point out, as I am speaking to all
of you, and as the election begins tomorrow, according to
the gambling markets, Mom Donnie ninety three percent chance of winning.
By the way, this is with two hundred and eighty
one million dollars bet on on the marketplace right now?
Speaker 2 (12:39):
Well, is is the mafia rigging this one to Clay?
Speaker 1 (12:43):
I don't know, you know, ninety three percent chance? Quai, Yeah,
Cuomo five percent chance. Curtisly what less, He's got a
point five percent chance?
Speaker 2 (12:52):
All right?
Speaker 1 (12:53):
So if right now you bet on him, you can
get Curtis Lee what to win this race at two
hundred to one, and you put down a dollar, you
get back two hundred. So that is absolutely bonkers. Did
I say that soccer instead of hockey?
Speaker 4 (13:07):
Is?
Speaker 2 (13:07):
I thought I said hockey. I didn't say soccer. I
don't know. Somebody's correcting us. I know it was hockey.
Is a hockey fan, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (13:16):
Producer Greg is lighting us up saying that that we
someone of us said soccer. I mean I think we
said hockey. We know it was nineteen eighty. Oh he's saying.
He's saying that you you said it. So I'm okay
with that as long as it's not my fault.
Speaker 2 (13:29):
Hockey apologies.
Speaker 1 (13:30):
The World Cup's coming up this summer, by the way,
should be fun for soccer fans out there. Buck's a
big soccer guy like like soccer. It's one of my
American traits. You know, my most Unamerican traits is I
enjoy I enjoy watching soccer. I think it's gonna be
awesome in the US. They got the draw coming up
in December at the Kennedy Center, which President Trump probably
(13:52):
I would bet, will show up to be a part of,
which should be very cool in early December to find
out when the games are and how it gets set up.
Speaker 2 (13:59):
I think Trump should he should do. He should do
the play by play for a game, like he passed
the ball, he passed the ball to somebody else, another pass,
a beautiful pass, another pass. Maybe it'll be a goal
at some point, you know. Trump doing play by play
for soccer, I think would be a great boon for
the World Cup.
Speaker 1 (14:20):
It would be very, very fun. I don't disagree. I
don't disagree at all about that.
Speaker 2 (14:26):
He'd be like Dominguez passes to Rodriguez, Rodriguez too, Dominguez
back to Rodriguez. You know, he could sort of do
a whole thing. It would be a lot of fun.
One of the more gratifying projects I've taken on this
year is the launch of a new e newsletter called
Money and Power, and this thing is awesome. By the way,
we're already witnessing an incredibly healthy stock market performance, largely
(14:49):
fueled by the Trump administration. Here's the money in Power is.
It's the biggest political and national security stories merged with
analysis of the markets, and it actually gives you actionable items,
things that you should consider as investment ideas. And I've
obviously partnered with people who that is their expertise picking
great investment opportunities. So there's something that I want to
(15:10):
tell you about. That's the Manhattan Project too. Manhattan Project
two is what I think will be a huge wealth
explosion that ties in AI and Trump administration policy. To
understand the full scope of this, you got to check
out what I'm talking about here at Insider twenty twenty
five dot com. Right now, I want you to go
watch this video and then subscribe at the end, go
(15:31):

Speaker 1 (15:52):
Sometimes all you can do is laugh, and they do
a lot of it with the Sunday Hang join Clay
as they lap it up in the Clay and Buck
podcast feed on the iHeartRadio app or wherever you get
your podcasts.
Speaker 2 (16:06):
Welcome back in here to Clay and Buck. We'll get
some calls, and also in a few minutes we'll talk
to you about these cartel strikes that have been happening.
The US has been blowing up drug boats in international
waters in the Caribbean, boats that have been leaving Venezuela.
But we have, uh, Christy in Utah wants to chat
(16:28):
with us. What's going on? Christy?
Speaker 6 (16:31):
I I actually called a few weeks ago. I'm the
conservative HR person who suggested that you add hot chocolate
to your crocket copy.
Speaker 2 (16:41):
We are trying ideatually. We've had discussions about this. We
like that idea, But what else is on your mind? Christy?
Speaker 6 (16:47):
So I don't know. I just I wanted to talk
about the economy. I don't know if you guys know this,
but there's I support most of what's going on, but Honestly,
the job market is insane. There are people who've been
out of work for like a year, two years. Like
(17:08):
LinkedIn is flooded with people in all kinds of different
fields that have been looking for work. And you know,
one job post goes up and it gets like two
hundred responsers in a day, so they have to tick
it down. My job was eliminated in July. So that's
how I'm seeing this. So I want to get your
guys's take on this because there are a lot of
qualified people out of work right now.
Speaker 1 (17:32):
Thank you for the call. We can talk about this. No, Christy,
we appreciate your call, and good luck on the job search.
Speaker 2 (17:38):
Where are you.
Speaker 1 (17:40):
I'm in Utah, all right, so tag us at Clay
and Buck. If people in Utah need an HR person
and they want someone who's not insane, just hop in
the mentions or actually just stay online you can. We'll
take down your contact. Somebody can reach out because obviously
we want everybody to get as many jobs possible. Buck
on the backside, we'll talk about this because I do
(18:00):
think there's a big story going on there. But I
want to tell you in the meantime, if you have
got a family, and a lot of you do. And
if you are worried about trying to eat healthy with
that family and a lot of you are trying to
do that. This is exactly what Good Ranchers is all about.
Ben and his wife Corley have built a great American
business to try to feed your family in the same
(18:22):
way they feed their own. They've got four young kids,
and every single day they are thinking about how to
help make Americans eat healthier. These are all American raised meats.
Whether it's chicken, whether it's port, whether it is salmon,
whether it is be all American raised.
Speaker 2 (18:39):
You're gonna love it.
Speaker 1 (18:40):
And right now through Thanksgiving, Good Ranchers encouraging families to
sit down share a meal at least once a week,
and every week one lucky winner gets a free Thanksgiving
ham for sharing a photo on Instagram tag good Ranchers.
Go to good ranchers dot com. My name Clay for
forty dollars off. That's good ranchers dot com. Welcome back
(19:01):
in Clay Travis buck Sexton Show. Okay, we just had
the call Christy. Was it Christy who called in from Utah?
She was talking about the job market. She works in
HR and the challenges that she is seeing. I'm sure
that many of you who are looking for jobs have
seen the same thing. Here's what I think is going on, Buck,
and you can sign on or not sign on to this.
(19:23):
I think that AI is going to be incredibly transformative
for many different companies out there. And I actually think
that some of the jobs that are being pushed aside
right now are actually more white collar than blue collar
(19:45):
in nature. And so there are certain jobs. Let's say
you're a plumber right now, I don't think there's AI
plumbing that is taking away your job. I don't think
that if you're a roofer there's AI roofing that is
changing what you're doing. Truck driving, so far, all those
things quote unquote blue collar jobs working with your hands
in some sort of factory. I think there are a
(20:05):
lot of thought related so called white collar jobs that
a lot of companies are just not filling right now
because they don't know necessarily how quickly AI is going
to advance and eliminate a lot of these jobs. And
so I think there's a bit of an inversion in
the job market where there are a lot of people
(20:25):
who felt very confident, Hey, I'm always going to have
a job. And I talk about this with my boys
even now. I buck I think a lot of lawyers
are going to be losing their jobs in the years ahead,
because when I graduated law school, you had twenty five
year old lawyers who would sit in front of a
computer screen and would be looking through documents and flagging
the relevant documents and all these things, billing hundreds of dollars.
(20:49):
That's going to become automated. I think a lot of
these consulting jobs that people got, a lot of these
investment banking jobs, they are remember the super.
Speaker 2 (20:56):
Skilled, if you remember sharing In the Timeless classic, Clueless
gets into trouble with the mean associate lawyer because she
highlights the June ninth calls or whatever, and she's supposed
to highlight the June fifth calls. But in the nineties
you had lawyers who were making hundreds and hundreds of
(21:17):
dollars an hour doing stuff like that, going through phone records.
Not even just the nineties, I mean until recently. The
Once you start to use AI as a tool, and
I would recommend that all of you do so for
your own lives. As a tool, look, I'll tell you,
and it tells you don't do this, or rather, it
doesn't say don't do this, it says, don't rely on this.
I've uploaded my blood work to GROC to try to
(21:38):
get ideas for health for like, because because the doctor,
you know, the doctor, as you all know, you go
in there for the most part, you get, you get
your five minutes with the doctor. Here's the big problem,
here's this whatever. I'm like, well, what about this? What
about that? I'm always a person who I have more
questions than the doctor wants to answer. I can sit
there and ask. Now, GROC will tell you it's not
(21:59):
a doctor. Same thing with Gemini and these other you know,
uh fratch ept and so you should always consult with
your doctor. But if you're just you know, so, there's
that disclaimer. But it is amazing the detailed information, factoral
information you can get on these things. But you remember
that scene from Clueless, right, oh yeah, it's a great movie,
and he's like, he's like, you do what you want
(22:20):
with your butts. I'm calling in sick, and then she's
like so sad, and then she gets romantic with her stepbrother,
which I feel like everyone is just a little too
okay with in that movie, remember that played by Paul Rujosh. Yeah,
Josh is the step brother and they're playing Smoochy smooch.
But it's like, that's your stepbrother. I think that's weird.
Speaker 1 (22:40):
Do you think that Paul Rudd is maybe one of
the people who has least aged in the last thirty
five years? I mean, I don't know what he does,
but if you look at him in basically his entire
acting career, he doesn't look very different now than he
did all the way back. He's basically looked thirty for
about thirty five years. That sounds about right, probably, Yeah, yeah,
(23:03):
he's not going at.
Speaker 2 (23:03):
Tom Cruise level where you're like, what what alien science
experiments are being run to make him still look like
he should be running around doing fly kicks when the
guy's like my dad's age. But yeah, sure, right.
Speaker 1 (23:16):
What Let me ask you this, though, do you sign
on to my idea that AI initially is having more
of an upper middle class job impact than it is
lower You know, when I say class, I mean like
what your salary is.
Speaker 2 (23:31):
It's an enormous white collar. It's an enormous efficiency tool
for bureaucratic and paper shuffling kind of work. And so
there are a lot of people who work on who
have jobs where that is their job. What is the
job really entail? It entails doing, you know, doing research
(23:52):
for things, going through things, finding things. Well, now you
can upload a you know, you can upload one hundred
thousand pages if you want to into some of these
AI programs and it will give you every citation or
every every statistical example of whatever you're looking for, and
it can do it in a couple of minutes. So
(24:13):
you think about the time savings. We actually talked to
doctor Marty McCay about this and what's going on with
the FDA. Yeah, for massive medical trials, you know which
they do these big you know, ten year, fifteen thousand
person data sets and all this this is gonna make
that Now that's just a I think that's nothing but upside.
But to your point about some of these jobs, here's
(24:35):
what we had an HR A lady from HR calling before, right,
just saying that out loud. I feel like I'm about
to get in trouble for something. Yeah, right, we're gonna
get lady call. So it's just gonna be honest. Clay
and I have existed in the world where you never
want to hear from the HR lady, I'm just gonna
se it's like, you know, especially if it's a lady,
I don't know, You're just gonna get where. It just
means that we said something might have been a joke
(24:57):
that was made.
Speaker 1 (24:58):
Does anyone get excited when the phone rings and they're like, hey,
it's HR. You're like, oh no, Like there's nobody out
there listening to us right now. That's like I've been
waiting for this call. Thank the Lord.
Speaker 2 (25:09):
I'm so so a little bit like when I get
my when I get a letter that says Internal Revenue
Service on it, I'm never like, oh sweet, I'm want
to open this one. So now I understand HR people
are probably all very annoyed with us right now and
would not hire us. But they would say, what about
when I have the amazing news of giving somebody their
dream job? And of course that is a This was
(25:31):
like what Clay the one the one season of high
school soccer I coached. The greatest thing was the joy
on the faces of the kids who wanted to make
the team so bad and were marginal who made it
that there we had. I had a couple of like
stuperstars who were going to go play in college. But
I had two or three. I was like, well, these
kids are you know, they're they're like better than I
ever was and they're freshmen. And then you know, there
(25:53):
were kids that were marginal. That was the greatest thing.
The worst thing was the kids who teared up when
they were close and didn't make it and I had
to tell them, you know what I mean. That's the
so HR cuts both ways, right because yeah, on the
one side you get to tell people dream job. The
other side it's I know this would have been a
life changing salary increase for you, but we anyway. So
I think though in HR and particularly you're seeing AI
(26:14):
is because it's large data sets, it's efficiency based, and
their AI is doing the job of a lot of
HR people right now. And that is our that is
written about. That is clear, that is happening. So what
is HR really going to be doing because it's just
gonna you're gonna set your parameters, I need X amount
of years of experience I need, you know, I'm gonna
look up, prioritize the following schools, et cetera, et cetera.
(26:35):
You can have somebody do this now with ten thousand
resumes and give you your top ten resumes in five minutes,
three minutes. I think that's one hundred percent right.
Speaker 1 (26:44):
I also think there's just a lot of pause on
hiring on those jobs because companies are saying, wait a minute,
maybe we don't fill that opening that we have. Look,
and here is the Elon has come out recently and said, Hey,
we're rapidly advancing to a world I think he said
the other day where having a job will be like
(27:06):
growing your own produce. People can't choose to do it,
but it's not going to be the standard.
Speaker 2 (27:12):
Now.
Speaker 1 (27:12):
These are people who believe that AI is truly, over
the next ten to fifteen years, going to be transformative
in a way that frankly most of us can't even comprehend,
and that we're going to basically have to figure out
a way to reorient society without working being a huge
part of it. This is where I'm reminded of Neval,
(27:35):
who I've mentioned several times before on the show Silicon
Valley guy, founder of Angel List. It's been on a
lot of the big podcasts, and I just think is
a very interesting and sound thinker on things like this.
In particular, and he breaks this down Clay into wealth
versus status in society and wealth and I think you
(27:55):
very much take this approach in general, like this is
a part of your We talked to this who wo
and they're asking, what do you know about Claire?
Speaker 2 (28:02):
What do you know about Buck? I think you believe
that there are ways that everybody can win and everybody
can be doing better. And that's true about wealth and
anybody who denies that all of you right now, who
are who are driving around in your car with your
you know, your Venti Starbucks hopefully your Crockett Coffee actually,
(28:22):
but in your heated seats, with your air bags, on
your iPhone everything else. You are living in a space
age unimaginable future of wealth compared to what King Henry
the Eighth, like the actual king would have had, right you,
your health of us that live better now than the
(28:42):
wealthiest people did two hundred years ago. Yes, basically, your
your healthcare is better, your food is better, your your
comfort is better. Your bed got to get those sheets
from you know what I'm talking about, Cozy Earth. You
know he was robust. You didn't have Cozy Earth sheets
you got you have incredible wealth status is I'm in
(29:03):
a better place than you. Status is how do I
stack up to him or her? Right? Status is a
different thing, And he says that people should always separate
those in their minds. And when you're talking about AI,
you're talking about what should be able to be widely
distributed increases on of societal and global wealth along the
(29:25):
lines of what we're talking about, which is everybody has more.
But it might get to the point where everybody has
so much more that people start to hyper focus on
what somebody next to them has instead of what they have.
And this is where you get into whether people will
be happy, whether people will be fulfilled by these things?
Will will you really be fulfilled? If you have I
(29:47):
don't remember the name of the robotic made from the Jetsons,
but cleaning up everything grow, thank you Rosie making your food,
cleaning up everything, You're still gonna have wants and needs
as a human being. You know you're still you know
this is this this by the way, Clay, I also think,
and I put myself this category two. A lot of
people have really earnestly gone back to their faith and
gone back to church in recent years because I think
(30:09):
they see you now chasing the material things. Material things
may get really boring soon because everyone's going to have
their material needs met. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (30:19):
And for Christy who called in keep your head up.
I've been fired multiple times. I've lost my jobs multiple times.
I know how stressful that entire process is. I know
there are lots of you out there in this camp,
and we hope again that you're going to find employment,
and all of you are going to find employment sooner
rather than later. I do think at a big picture
(30:43):
part of what's going on is AI disruption that is
starting to work its way through the economy. And frankly,
I'm not smart enough to understand exactly what the full
on ramifications of this are going to be, but some
of the smartest people in the world believe at the
next decade is going to be transformative on a level
we may not even be able to comprehend right now.
Speaker 2 (31:05):
Yeah, it may make the Internet look like small potatoes
by comparison. Just one thing I would say for anyone
who's listening who's having trouble finding a job. In my
experience and I've had I've had very different kinds of career,
two very different careers really and looked I've worked in
different kinds of things, so is Clay and Clay started
companies especially now, don't just rely on blind resumes. If
(31:28):
you want to send those in, that's fine, you know,
send them into that inbox. It could work. It could work.
Talk to people, and I really mean that. You know,
you're you're at a car dealership that seems like it's
just really really well run, and you think you'd be
good in sales. Talk to them. Yeah, just just start.
You don't have to be like, hey, I want a job.
Just start, you know, start gathering that information, creating that
(31:51):
contact with people. I think this is true for a
whole range of things, but for finding a job. People
get jobs from other people. You actually don't at a
job from an email inbox. Always remember that.
Speaker 1 (32:04):
I've got a winner. Let's go into the weekend on
some good vibes. I got good vibes for all of you.

The eighties might be the greatest music decade next to
the seventies of all time. But the greatest song is
Toto's Africa. Africa by Toto. Every time I hear it
on the radio station, I just smile. It's a great song, Solids.
I put it in top ten.
Speaker 2 (34:49):
Play is gonna just I think he'll defer because I'm

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
