Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome to today's edition of the Clay Travis and Buck
Sexton Show podcast.

Speaker 2 (00:05):
Welcome in third hour, last of our live shows before Thanksgiving,
before Turkey Day.

Speaker 3 (00:10):
Here on Clay and Buck.

Speaker 2 (00:11):
I'm coming to you from New York City, which is
not yet Mom Donneville. It is still Eric Adams Town,
and it's looking good. I got to say a lot
of people on the streets here. The energy is high,
the prices are higher, and uh, Clay, yeah, it's crazy.

Speaker 3 (00:25):
I mean hotels here and everything.

Speaker 2 (00:26):
It's just this city is, uh, somehow it only gets
more expensive. Clay's down in Panama.

Speaker 4 (00:34):
I'm sorry, handle heck of a unexpected. It's the Panhandle,
not Panama. I was thinking about places. Panama is where
I am right now. But that'd be fun, though. I
hear not working out in the Panama Canal right now,
to try to make sure ships are getting through.

Speaker 2 (00:54):
He's a team player, you know. We want to help
with affordability. Got to make sure those supertankers get through
the Panama Canal. So Clay down there directing traffic with
his bare hands. That's the kind of man he is.
We do have now, Miranda Devine, we're about to just
start tap dancing and telling funny stories. We are joined
now by New York Post commis Branda and Vine. Also
Podforce one is her wonderful podcast, which is doing great.

(01:16):
People love it, Miranda. So now we're taking a bit
of a hard turn here because the situation of some
of these high profile cases. We can come back and
talk Thanksgiving with you toward the end, but these high
profile cases where you have just horrific things happening. Now,
look the perpetrators in these specific cases, on the light

(01:38):
rail in North Carolina, on the L train in Chicago,
the perpetrators are black men. In these cases, the victims
are white women. And the most salient fact when it
comes to the law enforcement side of things is that
these or i should say the judicial and general law
enforcement side of things, is that some of these judges

(02:00):
have let these individuals out in one case of the
horrific stabbing, another lit this woman on fire who is
fighting for her life in critical condition, the judges let
them out dozens and dozens of times. You want accountability,
you want this to stop. Tell us what that would
look like.

Speaker 5 (02:18):
Honestly, it's so clear that the judges are endangering the
lives of the rest.

Speaker 6 (02:25):
Of us by this kind of I don't know whether you.

Speaker 5 (02:28):
Call it what Gadsad calls it, with suicidal empathy or
just they don't care. But they need to be held accountable.

Speaker 6 (02:36):
Everyone else is held accountable.

Speaker 5 (02:37):
Cops if they do the wrong thing in an arrest, Doctors.

Speaker 6 (02:42):
Every other professional is held accountable.

Speaker 5 (02:45):
But judges just have some sort of immunity that I
think needs to be punctured. At least then they might
think twice before they let out some of these monsters
on the streets when they should be locked up. And
I mean the alleged the suspect in the case of

(03:05):
Bethany McGee in Chicago, who was a beautiful young girl
doused in gasoline and then set on fire. She has,
you know, facial disfigurement. Half her body is burned. She's
in the burns unit in critical condition. He was so deemed.

Speaker 6 (03:24):
So violent that he couldn't even be kept in a
locked wing psychiatric wing of the local.

Speaker 7 (03:30):
Hospital because he'd assaulted a social.

Speaker 5 (03:33):
Worker so badly that she had a bruised cornea concussion.
That keeps, you know, some sort of problem that lingers
and disjudge knowing all the litany of seventy two arrests.

Speaker 6 (03:47):
And the arson and the aggravated assault in his background,
still let him out on the street with an ankle monitor,
which is utterly useless.

Speaker 1 (03:58):
What do you think, Miranda?

Speaker 4 (04:00):
You've been running around doing all your interviews, which have
been doing great for The New York Post as a
part of your podcast Thanksgiving week, and soon we're going
to be sprinting through the Christmas holiday season. As everybody knows,
Year one will be over, So I think we could
start to kind of give takes overall on Trump year one.

(04:21):
What is your take on Trump year one? And if
he were asking you, hey, what should I focus on
for the next six months leading into the primary season
and the midterms, what would you tell him he should
do going forward?

Speaker 5 (04:36):
I think his first year has been incredibly successful and dynamic,
especially when you compare it to his first term when
he was crippled the whole year by Russia Gate.

Speaker 6 (04:47):
But look, I mean, I think they have it all
in hand.

Speaker 5 (04:52):
You know, he's focusing particularly on affordability because I mean, you.

Speaker 6 (04:57):
Saw from Mamdani quite cle made that the centerpiece.

Speaker 5 (05:01):
Of his campaign, and since that success, now affordability is
the watchword for politicians everywhere, which.

Speaker 7 (05:09):
I think is a good thing.

Speaker 5 (05:11):
So I think they'll be focusing on that in terms
of their messaging.

Speaker 7 (05:15):
But I think that the Trump.

Speaker 5 (05:16):
Administration's been raiser sharp on lowering inflation and trying to
set the economy right. And I know that you know,
his Trump's been attacking the Reserve Board chairman because well said, sorry,
Ceral Reserve governor. I thought I was in Australia Federal

(05:37):
Reserve government to try and get interest rates down, which
will make a difference as well. So that and then
I think they should just keep just and I hope
they do. But you know, there seems to be rumbles
to let off on the deportations because of the optics
and the craziness of the Democrat pushback, but.

Speaker 6 (05:58):
I think they should double down it. They've already managed
to get rid of a million and a half and
they are you know, they're twenty million some on or
maybe ten million came in under Joe Biden.

Speaker 2 (06:10):
Yeah, I think that they need to continue on with that, Miranda,
and also the you're you're noting, which is a very
important component of it. The the number of actual deportations,
which I think is about a half a million that
have been processed as deportations, and then the self deportations
as in people who are illegals who have left the country,
which is in far actually a far greater number because

(06:32):
they're like, look, I don't want to get deported and
I don't want to go through that process, so they
actually go back to their country of origin and get
a lot of visa overstays. People like that that do
that as well. I think it's critical that they continue
on with this. But I also you know, we had
Director Patel on of the FBI in the last hour, Miranda,
so only only a list guests today allowed on the show,

(06:54):
and and we asked him about these law enforcement efforts.
You know, one we talked about these crazy judges who
let people out. You know, sure they've done they've been violent,
and it's their seventieth the rest, but maybe seventy five
is the lucky number on the stop. I mean, this
is madness, it's anti civilization. It makes us all less safe.
But what the Trump administration has been doing with the
federal law enforcement side, the numbers are looking really good

(07:16):
in these cities, and yet all these people saying it's
not going to do anything that's clearly not true.

Speaker 5 (07:21):
Yeah, it's clearly not true. And look, I think this
is just part of this Siico resistance that's growing. It's
the way the Democrats think that they can slow down
the agenda for Trump, will block it all together like
they did in the first term. And they're just throwing
everything that the kitchen think at it.

Speaker 7 (07:41):
And part of that is the crazy.

Speaker 5 (07:43):
Protests and a lot of boomers out there with nothing
better to do but line up for hours at home
depot and you know, buy five dollars scrapers or one
dollar scrapers or.

Speaker 7 (07:54):
Whatever it is.

Speaker 5 (07:56):
So I just feel like they're there's a lot of
sort of storm and drang, a lot of craziness out there.
But the seems to me the Trump administration and Trump
himself is just forging.

Speaker 7 (08:12):
Ahead and ignoring it all.

Speaker 6 (08:14):
And eventually, I think in time.

Speaker 5 (08:16):
For the midterms, there will be enough sort of successes
chalked up on the economy and crime and everything else
that you know, they'll be able to emerge out into
the sunlit uplands and benefit from that with the voters,
I hope.

Speaker 7 (08:33):
So anyway, and I think that.

Speaker 5 (08:35):
The deportations and the self deportations part of the reason
the self deportations are going so well is because of
those optics, because of the military style, you know, raids
that they're doing just to pick up I went on
one in Chicago just to pick up one illegal migrant criminal.
It's like, you know, they're entering for Loujah. The amount

(08:57):
of equipment and helicopters and drones and you know, the
special vehicles, armed vehicles. But they have to do it
for their own safety. And I think it's a good
thing that it looks like overkilled because it scares the
rest of them and they think, well, let's go back
to our home country.

Speaker 7 (09:15):
And come back the right way. And they've been.

Speaker 6 (09:17):
Promised, They've given money to help them with their travel expenses,
and then they're promised that they will get to be
on the front of the queue if they want.

Speaker 7 (09:26):
To come back legally.

Speaker 4 (09:28):
Miranda, I think you talked with Buck about this. If
I'm not mistaken, I think I was out. But Hunter
Biden and the degree to which he is spiraling, where
do you think all this ends and do you expect
that there will be any consequences today? Earlier the Georgia
case got kicked to the curbs. South Florida's done, Washington,
d C Has done. I think eventually, as we've said

(09:50):
on this program for a long time, New York City
is going to get tossed by the courts because it
was a sham prosecution and a sham case. What is
the end stage for law fair? Will any of the
Hunter Biden universe be held accountable? That's one of the
primary questions we probably get going forward. Or do you
think basically all this is over and Hunter's just going
to continue to do podcast tours where he insults people

(10:13):
like you and kind of throws fits.

Speaker 5 (10:16):
Well, I think all eyes are on Fort Pierce in Florida, where.

Speaker 7 (10:22):
You know, there's going to be a grand.

Speaker 5 (10:23):
Jury convened to look at this grand conspiracy case that's
being built, I'm told, and that will encompass Joe Biden,
Barack Obama, and Hillary Clinton, as well as the usual
suspects of John Brennan's and James Clappers and Jim Coney,
et cetera. So that's I mean, that's a pretty ambitious proposal,

(10:48):
but gosh, if it came off.

Speaker 6 (10:50):
It would be so satisfying but also so important for
the country to ensure something like this.

Speaker 7 (10:56):
Never happens again where you know.

Speaker 5 (11:00):
President and a presidential candidate is assaulted every which way
with law, fair assassination attempts, and so on and so.

Speaker 6 (11:07):
In that way, I think Joe Biden, perhaps not.

Speaker 5 (11:10):
Charged, but as an unindicted co conspirator, certainly that would
assist in giving the giving posterity a real view of
who he was as Hunter Biden.

Speaker 7 (11:23):
I mean, I see him as much as a victim
of his father as anything else.

Speaker 5 (11:27):
I mean, he's a victim of his own problems, in
his own addictions and appetites.

Speaker 6 (11:32):
But look, he has political ambitions. So it just depends
what direction this country goes in.

Speaker 5 (11:39):
If it doesn't start heading on the up and up
with Trump in charge, then there could be a real
possibility of a Hunter Biden running for president.

Speaker 3 (11:51):
So, Miranda, before we let you go, wait, I thought president.

Speaker 2 (11:55):
I just threw it in the end as a record
scratch moment at the house point he said, oh wait
a second. He's a maniac play So I would not
be surprised if if he ran. In fact, he'd probably
do better than Kamala Harrison. You think is going to
run anyway? I wanted to ask you this, Miranda, Australia.
You guys don't do Thanksgiving, do you?

Speaker 3 (12:16):
What's up with that?

Speaker 2 (12:17):
Well, why aren't our Aussie brothers and sisters doing a Thanksgiving?
It sounds like such a great holiday that everybody could
get behind. I know, I don't think you have turkeys
down there because they're not dangerous enough for Australia. But
what can you tell us is this something that maybe
is going to catch on down Under?

Speaker 6 (12:33):
Well, Australian didn't have Pilgrims.

Speaker 7 (12:36):
And all the history that you had.

Speaker 6 (12:39):
That's so wonderful that and we don't have the.

Speaker 7 (12:41):
Same seasons as you, like it's.

Speaker 5 (12:43):
Spring there now, yea, and all that. But Thanksgiving is.

Speaker 6 (12:47):
My favorite holiday for I just think it is so
wonderful and Americans are at their absolute best.

Speaker 7 (12:55):
The food is.

Speaker 5 (12:56):
Delicious, everyone's in a great mood, it's the most hospitable.
It just showcases American hospitality. I would have to say,
from my very earliest memories here, in my various iterations,
I've just loved Thanksgiving, and.

Speaker 6 (13:11):
I hope everyone has a wonderful day.

Speaker 5 (13:14):
And a stressfue happy day with lots of delicious gobble
gobble turkey.

Speaker 2 (13:19):
That's like a really good answer on Thanksgiving. Yes, I agree,
you know she stuck the landing on that one. Guys,
go check out pod Force one and that's Miranda's podcast.
Highly recommend it and Miranda have a very happy Thanksgiving.
We're glad you loved the holiday.

Speaker 3 (13:33):
Thank you, thanks so much time Buck Birch Gold Group.

Speaker 2 (13:39):
Is doing something very cool again this month, mirroring what
they did last year at this time. Each November, as
Black Friday approaches, Birch Gold gives away free gold with
every qualifying purchase. Here are the details. When you converted
existing IRA or four oh one k into a tax
sheltered IRA and gold, Birch Gold will send free gold
to your home for every twenty thousand dollars purchase. The

(13:59):
value of gold has gone on up some fifty three
percent this year. What was once twenty three hundred dollars
an ounce is now over four thousand dollars an ounce
for the same amounts of gold. What causes these kinds
of increases well, global uncertainty, national security risks abroad. But
central banks, by the way, pulling away from the US
dollar and all of the money printing just means the

(14:19):
long term thesis on gold remains strong. Gold thrives in
the face of uncertainty, so if you're looking to diversify
your savings, Birch Gold can help you. You've got two
days today and Friday to get free gold with qualifying purchase.
Just text my name Buck to ninety eight ninety eight
ninety eight to claim your eligibility and for a free

(14:40):
info kit on gold. But your opportunity for free gold
with purchase ends on November twenty eighth, so don't wait.
Text Buck to the number ninety eight ninety eight ninety
eight for full detail.

Speaker 4 (14:58):
Are thanks for Miranda Divine coming on with us. Also
Cash Bettel in the second hour encourage you to go
subscribe to the podcast. Let's play some of your talkbacks.
This is podcast listener Tammy in Utah.

Speaker 8 (15:12):
BB Hey clam Buck, this is Tammy in Utah. On
the seat recline issue, I say the terrorists are those
expecting people to give up the comfort they've rightfully paid for.
If you need more leg room, then you should be
the one to pay for upgrades, rather than forcing someone
else to be denied the comfort they've paid for. It's
very uncomfortable for a lot of people to sit straight

(15:33):
up for that long everything about their seat is their space?
Cough up the extra money for first class seat or
another airline.

Speaker 3 (15:40):
Clay dam, Is that not all the wrong with everything?
Are you okay?

Speaker 2 (15:45):
Does that roundhouse kick that Tammy just hit you within
the face? Sting a little bit there, buddy, she's throwing down.

Speaker 4 (15:51):
Tammy does not have the right, in my opinion, to
just basically recline and sit in my lap. Now, if
I were Santa and she had paid, she could come
in my lap. By the way, did you see.

Speaker 1 (16:01):
The clip Did you see the clip of.

Speaker 3 (16:05):
You man, you Rep Scallion?

Speaker 1 (16:07):
Did you see.

Speaker 4 (16:08):
The clip of Santa on Fox News when Emily Campano
went running and jumped in Santa's lap?

Speaker 1 (16:16):
Our friend to Emily, have you seen that?

Speaker 8 (16:18):
Go?

Speaker 1 (16:18):
Viral Claws?

Speaker 4 (16:22):
Mister Claws did not have a good day when he
got back to the North Pole after Emily compangno happed
hopped in his lap when they were turning the Christmas
tree light on.

Speaker 1 (16:30):
Uh, that's not a euphemism.

Speaker 3 (16:34):
Give me presents to kids.

Speaker 4 (16:35):
I swear I didn't know she was gonna jump in
my lap, missus clause. I was expecting it to be
a bunch of little kids asking for gifts. Not her
Danny in Charleston for South Carolina d.

Speaker 9 (16:47):
D play dude, I was just listening. I had to
pick up to call you. If you think James Franklin
is a head coach of any program is a good call.
You're not paying attention, dude. That guy cannot win big games.
Nothing against him. Might be a super nice dude, might
be a great guy to have a beer with, But
I think you're getting.

Speaker 3 (17:07):
Wrong on this.

Speaker 9 (17:08):
Franklin is a good coach. Finny Tech will never be elite.
And this comes from somebody who's a die hard Pet
State fan.

Speaker 4 (17:16):
Yeah, you're wrong, and we'll see who Pinnon State ends
up hiring. I like the hire by Virginia Tech. Let's
see here a lot of feedback from our Cash Ptel interview.
Here's Joe Anne and Louisville listening on eight forty whas JJ.

sticking it out and for cleaning it up.

said Lisa Busa Booth. Thank you, Lisa Booth.

Speaker 2 (21:00):
So yes, those are all people that you can listen
to in the podcast network, and I think you should. Clay,
there's a little bit of a little bit of a
little bit of history, a little bit of lore that
I want to introduce to the program. Do you have
any idea this is I've always been someone who's fascinated
by the origins of things. This is just ever since
I was a little kid. Why is that thing the

(21:20):
way it is? Or why is it called what it is?
You know where that we're why we call the bird
turkey a turkey? Have you ever thought about this?

Speaker 4 (21:31):
The only thing I'll know about the turkey, And this
is a little bit of anecdote, and is that Benjamin
Franklin wanted the turkey instead of the bald eagle to
be the official bird symbol of the United States.

Speaker 2 (21:42):
I think that was a rare a rare l for
our man, Ben. You know, I think that the American
bald eagle is a little slightly more majestic, you know
what I'm saying, Like, no, when we have to go
into other countries and whoop some ass, do we really
want like a like a screaming turkey on the side
of are a ten or on the side of our

(22:02):
F sixteen, or or do we want a American bald eagle.
I'm just saying, you know, the I think personally, that's
the way to do it. There we go, There we go.

Speaker 3 (22:12):
Oh, Wow. Have you ever Have you ever been near
enough one that they started to chase you? I have?

Speaker 4 (22:16):
You know, I was on a hike yesterday. Hike is
a bit of an exaggeration. I was walking in my name,
you walk to your property. That that's where we are now.
Clay has turned into Chevy Chase from Caddy Shack where
he's like, I just get lost in my own home.

Speaker 3 (22:29):
Sometimes.

Speaker 4 (22:29):
I went across the street in my new neighborhood. There
is a I think it's probably a hill. I don't
know what the difference is between a hill and a mountain.
It's more hill than mountain. You know where I am
in Middle Tennessee, we have rolling hills more so than anyways,
a pretty high, pretty high hike. And uh, I was
walking up the side of this hill as one does

(22:52):
majestic majestic hike by myself, and a huge what are
they called flocks of turkeys all suddenly appeared. There were
like six of them, and one of them started to
chase me, and I, you know, being the brave man
that I am, I just kind of stood my ground
and the turkey didn't come after me that but I wondered,
what do I do if he actually gets to me,

(23:13):
I guess I kick him.

Speaker 1 (23:15):
I don't know.

Speaker 4 (23:15):
I don't know what the appropriate way to find off
a turkey is. But yeah, like they were just wild
turkeys in the in the New neighborhood where I live.

Speaker 2 (23:23):
So this is this is a fun one. As we
all know, there's a country named Turkey, which corresponds with
the seat of the former Ottoman Empire and the Ottoman
traders in the fifteen hundreds, so Ottoman slash Turkish traders
brought into Europe a bird that came from West Africa. Okay, now,

(23:45):
the bird that they brought in from West Africa was
actually a well, they started calling it a turkey cock
or a turkey hen because it was brought in via,
so it's like they took it from West Africa. The Ottomans,
they brought it, you know, through their ships, they brought
it into Europe. They started calling it a Turkey cocker,

(24:06):
a turkey hen. And then when we start having more
time in the Americas, they discover the Spanish conquistadors discover
the domesticated turkey that the Aztecs had had for a
long time. So the Aztecs had domesticated a turkey, like
we have, you know, chickens, and so they brought them
back to Europe, and those that they brought back to

(24:28):
Europe looked like the what's actually a guinea fowl from
Guinea and West Africa. But people thought, oh, that's like
the same thing, and that came to us via Turkey.
So they were calling the new bird in the America's
a turkey?

Speaker 3 (24:46):
Is that all I know?

Speaker 2 (24:47):
It's a little round about. So basically, the name turkey
comes from the African guinea fowl that was transported by
Ottoman traders to Europe, who then confused when the conquistadors
brought back from the New World the domesticated bird that
had no name that looked like the guinea fowl that
they were calling a turkey, they started calling the new

(25:09):
bird a turkey.

Speaker 3 (25:11):
Boom history.

Speaker 4 (25:14):
So that is the bird equivalent of how we came
to call Native Americans Indians.

Speaker 2 (25:19):
Yeah, very close, Yeah, very similar. Yeah, yeah, I mean
I had no idea.

Speaker 4 (25:24):
I would have thought that there was probably a connection
between the country and the bird, but I had never
figured out the entomology there.

Speaker 1 (25:33):
So boom.

Speaker 4 (25:34):
Now everybody has a turkey story to share at their
Thanksgiving So what we're eating is a bird that Europeans
hundreds of years ago thought name for the traders that
brought a bird from Africa when they actually brought a
bird from the New World that they thought was the
same bird from Africa, and they called the Turkey because

(25:54):
the guys bringing to them were Turkish.

Speaker 3 (25:57):
There you go.

Speaker 2 (25:58):
Now, I just thought everybody should know, Like, that's that's
kind of a fun one, isn't it.

Speaker 3 (26:01):
That's pretty good.

Speaker 1 (26:03):
I think it's good.

Speaker 4 (26:04):
I think it's a good bit of knowledge for everybody
out there to share with their families.

Speaker 2 (26:08):
Oh to your point, by the way, Clay, in Turkish,
the bird is called Hindi, meaning from India. So there
you go, because from the Indies, because they got it,
they where they transported it from.

Speaker 3 (26:24):
You know, this is like a lot of stuff going on.

Speaker 4 (26:26):
Well, you can find this on the podcast along with
Russia's Thanksgiving and we are asking for suggestions as Monday
will be the first day of December that we will
be back. And uh, let's see, we have Kenneth from
hold On, Sheldon from North Carolina in in.

Speaker 1 (26:46):
This is Buck's favorite song.

Speaker 4 (26:48):
This is what he wants to ensure that we are
playing we asked for Christmas suggestion music in.

Speaker 3 (26:53):
Inn listen Manhaem steam Roller.

Speaker 2 (26:59):
Whatever, Yeah, rush us to play it every year, Manhem Steamroller.
I'm just saying, I'm pulling together a best of Mannheim
playlist for this show. I celebrate the whole catalog. I'm
I'm a Mannheim officionado and I'm in I'm our point man.

(27:20):
I'm a comologist, chief Kamala expert, although I'm to read.

Speaker 4 (27:23):
One hundred in seven days, which is the one of
the worst punishments I can think too to give someone
I'm gonna have to surrender my comologist title if she does,
in fact run for president by the way, which I'm
starting to get a little worried about that one.

Speaker 3 (27:36):
And then the other one is I'm a.

Speaker 2 (27:38):
Manheim Steamroll expert, so I'm like chief Steamroller if you will.

Speaker 4 (27:43):
Uh, John in Sacramento. By the way, we're talking about
reclining seats. I want to one hundred percent sign on
with John and Sacramento. This also drives me crazy.

Speaker 1 (27:52):
KK.

Speaker 3 (27:53):
Hey, guys, you talk a lot about airplane terrorist.

Speaker 4 (27:57):
What about road terrorist people that don't move over to
the right after passing.

Speaker 1 (28:01):
Some of that's going slower than them.

Speaker 2 (28:03):
I want people that go slow on the hills and
then speed up when you're trying to pass them in
a passing lane.

Speaker 4 (28:10):
I'm yeah, road terrorist there. I want police, And I
know we have a lot of you listening right now.
I think you should get pulled over if you're not
driving fast enough in the left lane instead of worrying
about overall speed. When Buck Sexton, you know, driving this
daisy over there is going forty five miles an hour
in the left lane, I want There's nothing more infuriating

(28:33):
to me when driving than a guy or gal who
is in the left lane that doesn't seem to notice
that there are forty six people lined up behind them
because they are going the same speed in the left lane,
or even slower than people are going in the right.

Speaker 2 (28:48):
Just a lot of you are driving right now, and
I just want you to think of this. You want
to know what it's like when Klay Travis is your driver.
Remember that scene in Maverick Top Gun, the first scene,
the first scene where he's in the experimental plane and
people were like, is this thing gonna come apart? Don't
go to like mock twelve or whatever. That's Clay's foot
on the accelerator in his suv. You start to be like,

(29:09):
I think this car is rattling a little bit. Is
this can it go these speeds? Is there enough air
in these tires for this? I am a I'm a
rapid mover.

Speaker 4 (29:18):
And if you are a slow mover, god forbid you're
driving slow in the left lane headed to the airport.
To immediately get on the plane and then recline your
seat directly in front of me, I'll be done for
Somebody sent an email in and said, why don't you
just fly first class? Clay, I fly Southwest Airlines. There
is no first class. Nashville, Tennessee's number one airline in

(29:41):
the public airport is Southwest Airlines, and so even if
I wanted to get a first class Southwest Airline seat,
they do not exist. Every seat is the exact.

Speaker 2 (29:50):
I gotta tell you, I'm actually a little bitter every
time I come to visit you and the iHeart team
based in Nashville.

Speaker 3 (29:56):
At how much better you're air like your airport.

Speaker 2 (29:58):
It's a great air Guys are so spoiled to Nashville,
and really, at the holiday season, a lot of you
are going through airports today. Man, there are airports, and there
are airports, and Nashville is is is clean and civilized
and orderly, and there's good food options, and it all
makes sense. Miami is a third world airport. I don't
know what to say. Miami is the worst major airport

(30:21):
in the country. You're always walking like four miles.

Speaker 3 (30:24):
Everything looks the same. The food options are garbage.

Speaker 2 (30:28):
Okay, there is a secret Chick fil A if you
know where to go, but other than that, but it's
not it's not. First of all, if the walk like
you're gonna walk off your whole chicken sandwich on the
way there. Miami Airport's the worst airport in the Cup.
Maybe some of you think you have a worst airport.
La Guardia used to be terrible, and now that the
Delta terminal LaGuardia they knocked the they knocked the cover
off the ball.

Speaker 3 (30:48):
It's really nice.

Speaker 1 (30:49):
I think the worst airport.

Speaker 4 (30:50):
So, first of all, Fort Lauderdale is easier to get
in and out of, but it's also an awful airport.
As someone who gets stuck there, like it feels like
every time I go to Fort Lauderdale, they have no
food options. It is I think Miami's location for an
airport is good, it's just awful if you actually have
to go there inside of it.

Speaker 2 (31:11):
They should keep the land lease and they should just start.
They should like just knock the whole thing down and
start from scratch. It's the worst airport in America is Dulles.
Dallas is in Washington, DC. The worst airport in America.
First of all, it's from like nineteen sixty four, and
they have these stupid people mover shuttles.

Speaker 4 (31:32):
It's in the middle of nowhere. No one has ever
wanted to go to Dulles in their entire life. You
can't fly internationally out of National which is the best
location in terms of like you're there and you're in Washington,
d C.

Speaker 1 (31:45):
In like ten minutes, so you can't.

Speaker 4 (31:48):
It used to be Dulles existed for long range flights
because they keep the Congress people keep expanding how far
you can go. I think Dallas is the worst airport
in America.

Speaker 2 (31:58):
Charlotte Airport, Charlotte's air is. I know that it's just
not built.

Speaker 3 (32:02):
Charlotte's got. The problem with that one is that it's just.

Speaker 2 (32:04):
Too crowded because Charlotte, Yeah, it's just boomed and they
weren't ready for it, So I don't really hold that.
You know, they just got to do some expansion. It's
not that it's that bad. JFK is not is I
don't like JFK.

Speaker 9 (32:18):
Really.

Speaker 2 (32:18):
The New York Area airports New York Area, including Newark,
are are trash.

Speaker 3 (32:24):
I don't know what you know. LAX is nice.

Speaker 2 (32:26):
People try to say LAX has got a lot of
good stuff the International Terminal. I can't throw any any heat.
All right, Well, we'll get to your talkbacks, and you'll
close us out here in a second with your Thanksgiving thoughts.
And now you all know where Turkey comes from. How
many of you, be honest, how many of you had
thought all this time there's a country and a bird
and these things have nothing to do with each other.
And now you know, and now you know, yes, little history,

(32:49):
bow for the Buckster. On this Thanksgiving you could even
say you're thankful for Buck's history.

Speaker 3 (32:54):
Nerdness.

Speaker 2 (32:55):
All right, let's talk about the International Fellowship of Christians
and Jews. The prospect of peace in Ukraine is alive again.
Nothing is certain and there's a way to go, but
the conversation is active. When this war broke out over
three years ago. No one imagined all the death and
destruction that would be brought at the time, and many
nonprofit organizations jumped into the action at first. But today
many of the same organizations that raced into Ukraine have

(33:17):
moved on, but not the IFCJ or the International Fellowship
of Christians and Jews. IFCJ is continuing to do what
they can to help the Jewish faith in Ukraine, particularly
the elderly. The IFCJ, with your donations, brings hope to
those in need. Your gift of twenty five dollars goes
towards a packed box with life saving essentials that will

Speaker 4 (34:02):

Let's hit some more of your talkbacks here. Kenneth from
Southern California k EIB Radio.

Speaker 1 (34:45):
He has this to say.

Speaker 4 (34:46):
Amer Thanksgiving, I'm going to start calling Clay the Grinch.

Speaker 1 (34:50):
Keep that in mind, Grinch.

Speaker 3 (34:52):
Everything with you is bahumbug.

Speaker 1 (34:55):
I think I'm actually super optimistic.

Speaker 2 (34:57):
Is he confusing us entirely? Does he think you or me?
And I'm I don't know why? Are you the Grinch?

Speaker 1 (35:02):
I think I'm super optimistic?

Speaker 4 (35:03):
In general, everybody else, according to Scott, is already out
for the holidays. Both of you guys were on today
with two great guests. Thanks for showing up. Have a
great Thanksgiving. Thank you, Scott. A lot of people are
going to be working, we know actually on Thanksgiving and
the day after Thanksgiving. We are not best of going
to be there tomorrow. But look, so many of you

(35:24):
are out there work and we wanted to make sure
we were talking with you as many of you as
we can. But we do encourage you to go download
the podcast. Cash Bettel was great, Miranda Devine was great,
and we have had a fantastic year. I know we
haven't finished the end of the year yet, but this
is I think I said the fifth Thanksgiving that we've
had the good fortune to spend with all of you,

(35:44):
and this is going to be and is Buck. This
is your first Thanksgiving with a baby, so you've got
a lot to be thankful for. And as you now
have your own family, I've got my three boys. Don't
injure yourself playing football if you are going to be
engaged in family football games.

Speaker 2 (36:00):
Yes, I definitely cannot. While I can serve a tennis
ball over one hundred miles an hour one hundred and three,
not that anyone's counting, and I'm thankful for that this
holiday season, I'm not. I'm I can throw a baseball, well, man,
I do not throw a football all that Well, it's
not something we've played here, so that's probably why. Plus
plus I don't want to get an auchi. If someone tackles.

Speaker 4 (36:21):
I'm sure in Central Park there will be a ton
of family Thanksgiving games. You're telling me this is not
happening in Central Park. There's not gonna be a ton
of football.

Speaker 2 (36:30):
Manhattan is not the outskirts of Nashville, my friend, we
do not have these things.

Speaker 4 (36:37):
I thought everybody played family Thanksgiving games, even in Central Park.

Speaker 2 (36:40):
I would have thought there were games going on tomorrow.
I mean there's in Central Park. There's probably a lot
of soccer being played. A very international community.

Speaker 4 (36:47):
Here, God forbid on Thanksgiving. A lot to play touch football.
By the way, you don't need to tackle, especially the older.

Speaker 2 (36:53):
Someone sent us something on the origins of cobbler, and
I hope your cobbler tastes delicious, but I'll just tell you.
He even points out that the is from being cobbled together. Yeah,
as in, like I messed up my pie boom Northeastern
Thanksgiving for the wind.

Speaker 4 (37:09):
Clay, Well, just because you're wrong and don't recognize great delicacy.
Stay safe, We'll see you Monday. Clay Travis and Buck
Sexton on the front lines of truth
