Hour 3 of The Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Show focuses on a wide-ranging discussion of politics, culture, economics, and current events. The hour begins with commentary on the U.S. economy and record highs in the S&P 500, with Clay and Buck arguing that strong market performance reflects the resilience of the American economic system and benefits investors, retirees, and workers across the country. Clay and Buck play a classic Rush Limbaugh throwback and turn to the ongoing debate surrounding the WNBA and women’s sports, criticizing what they view as inconsistencies in how sports organizations address issues of sex and gender. They discuss public controversies involving transgender participation in women’s athletics and examine broader cultural and political implications, mixing serious analysis with listener interaction and humor that references the legacy of Rush Limbaugh. A major portion of Hour 3 is devoted to the political and cultural fallout from the October 7 attack on Israel and the continuing debate surrounding the Israel-Hamas conflict. Clay and Buck analyze reactions on social media, discuss growing concerns about antisemitism, and explore divisions within the Democratic Party over support for Israel and pro-Palestinian activism. The conversation includes discussion of political figures such as Zohran Mamdani and Abdul El-Sayed, with the hosts examining how their rhetoric reflects larger ideological battles taking place within American politics. The program also covers the Michigan Senate race, focusing on Abdul El-Sayed’s campaign and his challenge to Republican candidate Mike Rogers. The hosts discuss El-Sayed’s comments about football, masculinity, and race, arguing that such moments reflect the increasing role of identity politics and political theater in modern campaigns. Another segment addresses devastating wildfires near Spokane, Washington. The hosts discuss the destruction caused by the fires and offer practical advice for affected homeowners, emphasizing the importance of documenting losses, understanding insurance policies, and seeking legal assistance when navigating disaster recovery and insurance claims. The hour features an interview with congressional candidate Catalina Lauf, who outlines her support for President Donald Trump, her commitment to border security, law enforcement, economic growth, and the America First agenda. Lauf warns about what she characterizes as increasing socialist and far-left influence within U.S. politics, citing figures including Zohran Mamdani and Abdul El-Sayed as examples of that trend. She also discusses her campaign priorities and conservative endorsements. The final portion of the hour returns to the debate over women’s sports, fairness in athletic competition, and changing cultural attitudes toward gender. Clay and Buck argue that preserving opportunities for female athletes remains an important public policy issue and discuss how these debates continue to shape both sports and politics. The show closes by encouraging listeners to continue the conversation through the program’s digital platforms and post-show content.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome back in Clay and Buck our number three. We
are rolling through the program here. Good news off the top.
As I told you at the beginning of the show,
new record high SMP five hundred today. So your stocks
have never been more valuable, your retirement accounts have never
been higher if you are smart enough to be invested,

(00:21):
as I hope all of you are, in the future
of this great country. Thanks to capitalistic dynamic growth, we
are seeing record highs in the SMP five hundred today
at WNBA. At the top of news, Buck, I'm looking
at my quadbox leading Fox News yet again, the WNBA's

(00:41):
inability to define what a woman is despite the fact
that they are lecturing all of the Americans out there
that have been mocking them. They're saying, you're being racist, sexist,
and transphobic by attempting to hold the WNBA to a
standard of what a woman is. And Rush. By the way,
there are a lot of stories Rush would have loved.

Speaker 2 (01:03):
Buck.

Speaker 1 (01:04):
This is at the absolute apex of one of the
stories that Rush would have loved the most, which, to
her credit, Julie and Florida in Our One inspired us
to go back into the archives. She landed a I
was telling Buck off the air the ds D E

(01:24):
e Z all right. If you are a man and
you just heard me say do you want some of these?
You know exactly what the next word is. That was
like Julie landing the punch on the program earlier. Here
was Julie in Florida in our one Julie in Florida,
What you got.

Speaker 2 (01:45):
For us, Julie Dune.

Speaker 3 (01:46):
Guys, thanks a lot for all you do. I have
a thought about this. When this female basketball player claims
that she's a boy, maybe it's so she can get
a prescription for the performance enhancing drugs just to play
better and get more. But I can probably assure that
she has not agreed to add adict tomy surgery.

Speaker 1 (02:05):
What is I mean? That sounds like it could mean
a lot of things with the middle part of that,
But what kind of surgery is that?

Speaker 2 (02:11):
A dick to me?

Speaker 4 (02:14):
Hey you Julie, I mean this is like, this is
like you just fell Julie. That is unbelievable. Julie is
not a medical professional. I think I think she is.

Speaker 1 (02:25):
Uh got that like my uh you can cut you
can cut the clip there, But this is I will
just tell it because my wife is like, you can't.
When my about eleven ten year old middle son, he
was like, Dad, can you can you help me with
one of these? And I was like these what? And
he said these nuts? And I mean I just I

(02:50):
walked into it. It was like a Mike Tyson uppercut
back in the day for those of you who played
Mike Tyson's punch out, Like, I just stepped right into it,
took it right on the chin, and I couldn't stop laughing.
Julie got me there because I was thinking that it
might be because of the way that it was written
on the screen.

Speaker 2 (03:06):
I was like, is this a particular type of surgery?

Speaker 3 (03:10):
Uh?

Speaker 1 (03:11):
Although I was aware of the middle part of that.
And this of course is a callback to Rush and
we have that audio for you. Well, first of all,
here is Steven Indiana, who had a talk back giving
Julie praise.

Speaker 2 (03:22):
Listen, go Julie. That was freaking hilarious.

Speaker 5 (03:26):
Clay.

Speaker 2 (03:27):
I don't know what to say about you. You lost
on that one step. She got me. I got got
as the kids say here, it was like, wait, is
there is there anesthesia before the addictive surgery?

Speaker 6 (03:42):
What kind of recovery time are we talking about before
the addiction.

Speaker 1 (03:45):
I was taking it's so serious. I've tried to be
serious for once. And the player, the boy, the girl
who is pretending to be a boy, the woman who's
attempted pretending to be a man in the WNBA had
top or surgery, and I'm like, is there a particular
name for that surgery? I'm not talking about like a
double misseectomy. I don't know what it's called when it's

(04:07):
choice right, Like, Hey, i just want to try to
look more like a man, so I'm gonna have my
breast removed. I don't know what that's called. So I
was thinking, is that actually what it's called. I was
legitimately taking it seriously because of the way that it
was spelled out. I just want to toss I'm not.
I don't like to throw the producers under the bus
as you want to.

Speaker 4 (04:24):
Julie's like enjoying a hard lemonade by the pool with
a big smile right now, because she definitely she got one.

Speaker 2 (04:29):
You got one under the fence today, Well done.

Speaker 1 (04:32):
I will say this, this is all producer Greg's fault
because he didn't spell it in a way where I
would have been like, oh, he spelled it like it
was a medical procedure as opposed to you know, the
way it would be spelled if you were talking about
a penis in the middle of day.

Speaker 4 (04:48):
All right, I remember it was it a Wayne's World
where they did a sphincter says what, yes, Wayne's World? Right,
that's one hundred percent right, that is accurate. Similar, similar
kind of joke, similar kind of joke. All right, you
have weight. We have to get the origin story now
of yes, this special surgery. Go ahead, Clay, here.

Speaker 1 (05:07):
Is do we have like that way back machine? Here
is Rush with the initial joke. Listen, just John and Buffalo.

Speaker 7 (05:14):
Great to have you John, Thanks for waiting here the
e IV network alone.

Speaker 5 (05:18):
Hello Rush. Yeah, I'm old enough to remember explicitive delete.
Did you remember that one? Right? Oh?

Speaker 2 (05:23):
Yeah?

Speaker 5 (05:24):
And I have no problem with a little off color
humor if it's done with with. But I've always wondered,
how do you get away with an addict tom me?

Speaker 2 (05:33):
How did I get away with that addictive me?

Speaker 5 (05:35):
Yeah? I mean not exactly subtle.

Speaker 7 (05:39):
Well, now, you mean, why have I yet to be
called upon by the San Francisco community or the PC.

Speaker 5 (05:46):
It's a little obvious.

Speaker 7 (05:49):
I think, I think, because let me, some people may
not know what you're talking about here this and explaining it.
We'll explain why I get away with it. There's nothing
to get away with here. This is brilliant, brilliant, creative
use of the language to convey a bevy of thoughts
in one word. What this the origination of the word

(06:14):
san Francisco. Again, folks, there were massive protests on the
part of city employees demanding that the city of San
Francisco pay for sex change operations. It was a very

(06:35):
important deal, and many on the San Francisco City Council,
I don't know what they actually call it.

Speaker 2 (06:41):
But they approved it, thought it was a great thing.

Speaker 5 (06:43):
And it was in the.

Speaker 2 (06:44):
News quite a lot.

Speaker 7 (06:45):
This is years ago, but it was in the news
quite a lot, and there were quotes from various city employees,
some who women wanted to become men and vice versa.
And so I had to find to shorten what I
was talking about so I wouldn't get distracted by process.

(07:07):
And so the female to male sex change operation became
the adadittomy. And to this day there has not been
a single objection filed. Of course, there will be now, John,
since you brought it up and made me explain this.

(07:28):
And of course then the other way is the choppinick
off of me when you're going the other way.

Speaker 2 (07:34):
That one's not referenced as much. But they both have
seen their day.

Speaker 1 (07:40):
Great, that is right now we're gonna end up getting
in trouble for Russia's jokes ten years after he made them.
That clip was from January sixteenth, twenty eighteen, and I
got to give credit to Julian Florida for leading me
over the middle and absolute decking me.

Speaker 4 (07:58):
I guess I enjoyed it. I really thank you. You like
that very often. Okay, It's like, truly, where did you
get your medical degree?

Speaker 2 (08:08):
It's amazing?

Speaker 7 (08:11):
All right.

Speaker 2 (08:13):
I wanted to play this too. Uh. We have reached
already buck the stage in Mischi.

Speaker 1 (08:19):
Well. First, on the serious side, I texted this to you.
Abdul el Sayed's wife, sorry sister, celebrated the October seventh
terror attack on Jewish people by putting up posting that
morning all Palestinian flag and saying good morning freedom.

Speaker 2 (08:41):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (08:42):
That is according to multiple different sources out there. And
again this kind of ties in with what we were
saying with Abdul el Sayad. If you asked everybody in
Michigan that's going to vote for him, does Abdul el
Sayed in the Muslim community, does Abdul el Sayad hate Jews?
I think almost uniform formerly, they would all say yes,
he's saying publicly he does not. But I think the

(09:03):
Muslim base that he has in the Deerborn area, if
you ask them, hey, do you think El Sayad hates Jews?

Speaker 2 (09:10):
He would say yes. Okay.

Speaker 1 (09:11):
We've now reached the point where Abdul el Sayed is
saying a couple of different things that I think are
worth you guys all hearing. First of all, he is
saying that all of you who are MAGA supporters are
the equivalent of the IRGC in Iran. This is what

(09:32):
he said on Fox News talking to Bill Himmer. Listen,
would we all not be better off if the radicals
in Iran did not make the decisions for the people
of Iran in that region?

Speaker 8 (09:41):
Look, at the end of the day, I agree with you.
Radicalism of any sort is bad, which is why this
MAGA movement taking us into yet another war in my
lifetime and I'm only forty one, is so ridiculous because
that kind of radicalism, that idea that we should just
rattle our sabers and go to war.

Speaker 2 (09:57):
With anybody, that's an open question.

Speaker 8 (09:58):
Meanwhile, you've got this, You've got the Qataris who are
buying the Trump administration a jet that he plans to
take after he's done with the presidency. Those are all
radical regimes too, and that we're not going to war
with them.

Speaker 4 (10:10):
Okay, So that's always the game. It's it's the it's
the I to cry radicalism on all sides. I had
to cry violence on all sides. They show you exactly
who they are and what they are in these moments
in time.

Speaker 2 (10:23):
And I don't want to I want to talk about
this more, Clay.

Speaker 4 (10:26):
But the sister, his sister, who is I guess now
a sort of limited public figure in the sense that
she's tied to him, but she'd put this out publicly,
so it is a public rappord thing. What did she
write about? She wrote that it's freedom Day. She's written
a bunch of different things.

Speaker 1 (10:42):
The one that that I shared was it's a good
morning with a Palestinian flag.

Speaker 2 (10:47):
In the immediate as.

Speaker 1 (10:48):
We became aware in the United States that the attack
had occurred, not a coincidence on October seventh.

Speaker 4 (10:53):
You know something that that there are so many ways
that you can separate out the the moral core and
standing of people who tend to stand with Israel and
people who tend to stand with Hamas and ten is
probably not even a necessary modifier there, because really people
do one or the other. It is not a lot

(11:15):
of halfway.

Speaker 2 (11:18):
Clay. You will not see anyone.

Speaker 4 (11:20):
Who is a vocal friend and ally of the state
of Israel in our media. For example, after there is
a sometimes there are bombings of buildings that happen that
are accidents, and there are people who are killed in
war that you will not see them celebrating that and
saying well, we just got one hundred more or we

(11:42):
just got fifty more or whatever. You will see that
all over the place for people who are pro Palestinian
on October seventh, And honestly, anytime that there are israelis
that there are Jews killed, they show you who they
are with all of this all the time. Remember that
the game they played after October seventh, and I'm sure
si Ed if we go back and look at his Twitter,

(12:04):
I would wager that he was part of this chorus.

Speaker 2 (12:07):
They're calling for a ceasefire.

Speaker 6 (12:09):
This is you know, somebody breaks into your home and
you know, murders all your family members, and on the
way out the door, they're like, hey, hey, I you know,
I'm calling.

Speaker 4 (12:20):
For a ceasefire. No, that's not gonna fly. That's not
gonna work. Calling for a ceasefire after the biggest terror
attack in second largest terror attack loss of life.

Speaker 2 (12:31):
In world history.

Speaker 4 (12:33):
Really, I mean, it's certainly modern history, Clay, this whole thing.
It just shows you the rotten core of the left
and the pro Palestinian movement and how much anti Semitism really.
They really just don't like Jews. I mean, we could
talk about this till we're blue in the face, and
sometimes we do, but they just don't like they And
if I don't like, I mean they hate. They have

(12:54):
a hatred of the Jewish people. That's just the reality
of Hamas. And it's a round of a lot of
Palestinian supporters.

Speaker 1 (13:00):
Tomorrow we will have some fun with this, I promise
you on Friday, because it's one of the goofiest things
I've seen in Michigan. El Sayed challenged Mike Rogers to
a one on one game of football to prove how
much he actually likes football. Mike Rodgers is sixty three

(13:21):
years old. Abdul l Sayed is forty one. One on
one football tackle football. Now, some of you have played
this back in the day, but we are already here.
And it's what mid August we got almost ninety more
days of this insanity, and Abdul l Sayed was caught

(13:43):
talking about how football's a racist and it reminds him
somehow of Native American suffering in the United States, and
it's sexist and it's toxically masculine. And his response is
to challenge Mike Rogers to a football game one on one.
I promise you tomorrow we're going to have some fun

(14:04):
with that. But this is where we where we are already.

Speaker 2 (14:07):
What's the age difference again, beside twenty two years age
twenty two years?

Speaker 4 (14:13):
First of all, even if challenging senior citizen to a
to a physical contest and think that that's tough and cool, yes.

Speaker 1 (14:20):
Even if you're forty, even if you're the same age
as else, I add one on one football to prove
how tough you are is I don't even is there
a forty year old that has played one on one football? Well,
what is one on one football? Well, I think that's
where I was going to have some fun with you.
Just I mean, I used to play it. I played
it with my boys. Two on one. You have to

(14:41):
take shotgun, step back and either you're throwing a pass
to yourself or you're just basically having a race. Right,
Can you run faster to the outside than the other
person can tackle you?

Speaker 4 (14:55):
Doesn't doesn't sound very strange. This sounds almost like you
like somebody who would play with imagine your friends. This
sounds a little sad. Honestly, It's very It is weird.
It's frankly, just just very weird.

Speaker 2 (15:07):
All right.

Speaker 1 (15:08):
And I want to tell you we're going to buy
the Way talk with Katalina Luff, our friend down in
South Florida, who is on the primary ballot Tuesday. We're
gonna talk with her in a minute, and then are
also going to be joined by Katie Zacharya as we
move through the rest of the show today. But I
want to tell you a lot of you, I think

(15:29):
we're number one in Spokane, Washington. A lot of you
out in Spokane saw what happened when around ten thousand
acres burned, and they're saying around one thousand different homes
and private residences and public venues, all sorts of things
were destroyed. Seven over seven hundred destroyed, and it could

(15:50):
end up being over one thousand, sixty five thousand structure,
sixty five thousand people were evacuated. If you were dealing
with that Spokane fire, or if you're dealing with any
fires as they have spread across the country. One of
the things that you most need to make sure of
is that you're taken care of after a disaster, and
you can make your insure take care of his obligations.

(16:15):
You want to document everything. Don't cash the first check
that's offered to you. Get representation before you sign with
your insurance because they are trying to underpay you. That's
the game that insurance agents are often in. Heck, I
just saw forty five percent of all traffic accidents now
the insurance company refuses to pay anything. That's why you

(16:37):
need a lawyer. Make sure that you are covered when
you're going up against these big insurance companies that have
thousand dollars lawyers representing them, particularly on the property damage side.
You can go to Claytravislaw dot com. Claytravislaw dot com.
You can also call eight seven seven two two two

(16:58):
four four four four. Put together a great collection of
lawyers to represent you all over the country. This Spokane
fire is a great example when it comes to property loss.
A lot of you in the LA area know exactly
what I'm talking with. How frustrating it can be to
deal with insurance agents. Get a lawyer to represent you.

Speaker 2 (17:39):
The bad news is we have a super quick turnaround here.

Speaker 4 (17:42):
But the good news is you're gonna stay with us
because Katalina Lauth is running for Congress here in Florida
the nineteenth and she's gonna join us. She's gona join
us on YouTube as well, for those of you who
want to watch on the stream. We'll talk to her
about that, and then Katie Zachariah, it's like a Ladies
Hour the third hour today on the program.

Speaker 2 (17:59):
They'll be joining us.

Speaker 4 (18:01):
Look, self protection is critical, as you know, and no
one cares about defending you and your family as much
as you do. That's why you need to take gaps.
You need to be prepared with products from Saber Now.

Speaker 2 (19:06):
We head down to South Florida.

Speaker 1 (19:09):
The primary in Florida is Tuesday, and one of the
people that you will find on the ballot if you
are in Southwest Florida's nineteenth I believe is the number
congressional district. She can correct me if I'm wrong. Is
Katalina Lough. She has run for Congress before. I think
you were on the program with us once before, because
correct me if I'm wrong. Catalina, thank you for joining

(19:32):
us right now. We initially met you through Ted Cruz,
who was helping a large group of people who are
running for Congress to potentially get elected. One of those
women was you. Another one was Caroline Levitt, and there
was a big event for all of the congressional candidates,
and you narrowly lost, if I remember correctly take us

(19:55):
through that, and obviously with Caroline Levit announcing that she's
stepping down, you got, as I imagine, got to know
each other pretty decent during that twenty twenty two campaign cycle.

Speaker 9 (20:05):
Yeah, it was crazy, you know, it's I feel like
time has gone by so fast. So that was when
I primaried to Adam Kinzinger after he voted to impeach
President Trump.

Speaker 10 (20:16):
And that was originally in the Midwest.

Speaker 9 (20:18):
But then you know, we got heavily redistricted, and then unfortunately,
at ten pm, thirty thousand all Democrat mail and ballots
drop thirty percent of them were fraudulent and they called
every single.

Speaker 10 (20:30):
Race in the state of Illinois.

Speaker 9 (20:32):
And after that, you know, like many people who live
in Southwest Florida, and I'd been coming down here for decades,
you know, my family and I decided to leave Illinois again.
Like many Blue state refugees and midwesterners, Southwest Florida has
a ton of you know, people from Illinois, Indiana, Minnesota, Ohio.

Speaker 10 (20:53):
It really is such a you know, aggregator.

Speaker 9 (20:56):
Of course there's Native Floridians as well, but there's it's
a place where so many people come for freedom and
to have the same values. And so, you know, we're
proud to be down here. And by the way, Caroline
Love it will go down in history is one of
the best Cross secretaries of all time. I was so
honored to meet her during that time when we met,

(21:17):
she was a powerhouse. But what's crazy is that the
same establishment swamp that tried to take her down in
her primary is trying to take us down in our primary.
So we're up right now in the polls, but they
are relentlessly attacking us now and so with a couple
of days out.

Speaker 10 (21:34):
Or ready to bring it home.

Speaker 1 (21:36):
So for people out there in Florida nineteen Tuesday. I
know early voting has already started, but Tuesday, many people
are going to be going to the polls there. Tell
us what Florida nineteen's district is, because it's always important.
I know Florida has redistricted as well. People are still
learning some of the congressional districts that they're in. My
home state of Tennessee redistricted. I went to the poll

(21:58):
and didn't even know of fish what district I was
in because it's by street in my neighborhood. Where is
Florida nineteen. What should people know about you and why
you're the right choice there?

Speaker 9 (22:09):
Yeah, so it's generally Byron Donald's open seat. So it
was redistricted a little bit. It still encompasses the majority
of Naples, Benita Springs, Asaro, most of Lee County, all
the way up to Cape Coral, a little little piece
of Fort Myers, and then all the way up to
almost Punta Gorda. So we neighbor Congressman Greg Dube's districts

(22:31):
who I'm proud to be endorsed by, and you know,
this district in particular, we really value, not only.

Speaker 10 (22:39):
This was a Trump thirty plus seat.

Speaker 9 (22:41):
So anybody who is the most staunch maga ally who
is going to be a strong fighter for President Trump
and this administration's agenda is who this district wants. You know,
I was honored to work for the US Department of Congress, sorry,
US Department of Commerce.

Speaker 10 (23:01):
I was an appointee under President Trump.

Speaker 9 (23:04):
And so I'm the most trump ally conservative in this seat.
You know, we're up against a lot of sort of
the has beens, and I always say they really represent
the past and we are the future. You know, there's
a huge threat of the socialist movement. Look at who
is winning in all of these states across the country.
You have people like Mandami, you have al said, now

(23:26):
you have you know, these crazy lunatics that want to
fundamentally destroy our country and implement communism. And who do
we have on our side other than a few fierce
fighters fighting back in Congress. And so I'm really proud
to be endorsed by a lot of those really powerful,
strong voices who are combating the left. And you know,

(23:48):
we don't need backbenchers and spineless rhinos anymore. Look at
what's happening with the Save America Act. You know, we
need people who actually care, who want to do what's
right for their constituency, but also can be a lion
in Congress against.

Speaker 10 (24:02):
The radical left.

Speaker 4 (24:04):
Ketleena, it's buck, thanks for being here with us. I'm
a Floridian, so very important to me that we have
great representation for this state, and I know that you
could be joining the likes of Anna Polina Luna and
some other esteemed not just representers but friends of ours
from the state. What's top of the agenda if and

(24:28):
when you get to Capitol Hill.

Speaker 9 (24:30):
Yeah, By the way, we've been honored to also been
endorsed by Congressman on A Paulina Luna. She's a fierce
fighter as well. My biggest thing is we need to
make sure that every agenda item from this administration is
being passed, and you know, whether it comes to DOGE
or even combating illegal immigration, you know, we need fighters
up there who are looking at these policy issues and

(24:53):
actually going on not only of the districts what the
district wants, but also on a national platform.

Speaker 10 (25:00):
And being able to be good messengers.

Speaker 9 (25:02):
You know, sometimes on our side from a congressional standpoint,
we don't have always we have a great product, but
sometimes we don't have the best messengers for it, and
that's because we have these spineless cowards in a lot
of ways, like the establishment that's trying to take us
down in our primary.

Speaker 10 (25:19):
We need again, strong people.

Speaker 9 (25:21):
With conviction who are going to fight with in alongside
the president, President Trump and also the rest of these
new generation kind of America first next generation, you know,
peak members. And so a big thing here is combating
illegal immigration, which President Trump has done an incredible job of.
We need to continue to support ICE, continue to support

(25:44):
our local law enforcement. I'm the daughter of a women
who came here the right way. We need to tell
those stories of why we need to continue to deport
the millions of criminal illegal immigrants who came into this
country under the Biden administration. But we also have to
look at things from a pro growth economic perspective, as
the economy is also top of mind for the people

(26:06):
in my district. I come from a private sector background.
Like I said, I was appointed to the Department of Commerce,
and so I'm really excited to go up to Washington
to look at pro growth economic policies, look at legislation,
help President Trump from a deregulatory aspect and get more
business people like the President up there in Washington that

(26:26):
can actually look at legislation and policies through the eyes
of somebody who's lived it as a business owner as well.
And so those are two of the top priorities for me.
And then most of all, combating the radical left. You know,
this district in particular has a lot of older people
of all walks of life.

Speaker 10 (26:43):
Actually, we actually have a lot of young families now
moving here.

Speaker 9 (26:46):
And the biggest thing that I hear door to door
when I'm out there knocking is the fear of the
radical left. These my constituency is looking at the future.
They're worried about their children and grandchildren's future, so they
want somebody who is going to be able to combat that.
I'm also proud to be endorsed by the Maha movement,

(27:06):
and so my sister and I have a kids healthcare
company that we started from the kitchen table. We grew
it to the top one hundred and ninetieth fastest growing
company now and we're taking on big pharma, and we're
really supporting the President's agenda and Secretary RFK Junior as well,
and some of their efforts with.

Speaker 10 (27:24):
The MAHA movement.

Speaker 1 (27:26):
Outstanding stuff, Catalina. We appreciate you and thanks for coming
on and look forward to seeing you down the road
as well.

Speaker 10 (27:34):
Thanks not much, guys, you take care for sure.

Speaker 2 (27:39):

Speaker 4 (27:43):
Business owners out there, not just owners, honestly, anybody involved
in getting insurance for their business. This is something that
should be easy and should be straightforward, and it's not.
And in fact, you should understand what's covered, what's not,
what you might need to add, what you can get
rid of in terms of your coverage, and nobody really
figures this stuff out until they go with Supershore. That's

(28:04):
why Supersure is there for you, my friends, for the
CFOs HR, directors, business owners, partners, anybody who's getting insurance

value calculator, so you can get a sense of, Hey,

Speaker 2 (28:40):
Open market right now?

Speaker 4 (28:42):
Got a Supershore dot Com slash buck to see why

Com slash b uck paid for by Supershore Insurance Agency, LLC,

to be joining us for the post show YouTube, so
all of you who want the fun to continue, Clay
has to run. He's got some family stuff to attend to.

(29:25):
But I'm gonna stay with Katie and we're gonna keep
this live stream on YouTube going after we close up
shop on radio. So if you're listening on radio, stay
where you are, but at three o'clock click on over
to our YouTube stream.

Speaker 2 (29:37):
Check us out.

Speaker 4 (29:38):
Katie will take questions from you all there and all
that Clay, because you're bouncing, I'm gonna give you the
first couple of questions with Katie, the witness is yours.

Speaker 2 (29:46):
You got two lawyers here, by the way, two lawyers
look at that.

Speaker 1 (29:48):
Yeah, Katie, I want to start with that because you're
also a lawyer.

Speaker 2 (29:53):
I want to get your.

Speaker 1 (29:53):
Take on this WNBA insanity, which is everywhere. You've got
a bunch of kids. I imagine at some point in
time you're going to be on a sideline with your
daughters and you're in California. So unfortunately, California is one
of the states that would allow boys to compete against them.

Speaker 2 (30:13):
What do you think about this?

Speaker 1 (30:14):
What does it tell us that the WNBA is basically
just criticizing people who are criticizing them for not being
able to say what a woman is right?

Speaker 5 (30:25):
Well?

Speaker 11 (30:25):
Do I do live in the site where the governor
said it's inherently unfair for biological males to compete in
female sports and has been done nothing about it and
walked back all of those comments. So we know where
Gavin Newsom stands, which is absolutely useless.

Speaker 10 (30:39):
Governor.

Speaker 11 (30:40):
Thank you, Gavin for not protecting women's sports. Look, I
have three boys and a girl. My daughter is ten,
and I have an eleven year old boy, an eight
year old boy, and a five year old boy, and
I have watched all of my boys.

Speaker 10 (30:53):
Outpaced my daughter in a record time.

Speaker 11 (30:56):
Almost every single time, including the five year old, both
on runs on on scooters.

Speaker 10 (31:00):
And so why is this important?

Speaker 11 (31:02):
Because what women fought for for so long, which was
to have their own sports, to be able to compete
against other women. The fact that the WNBA, the Women's
National Basketball Association, is fighting, literally fighting to allow biological
males to compete against females, stands against every single thing

(31:26):
all of those progressive female activist rights and did all
through the nineteen sixties, seventies and eighties and onward.

Speaker 10 (31:34):
And it's not leveling the playing field for women.

Speaker 11 (31:36):
It actually puts women, as everybody knows, at such a
serious disadvantage. And it's disheartening for me that my daughter
would have to play against a biological male.

Speaker 10 (31:47):
Now, look, she loves horses.

Speaker 11 (31:48):
I don't think she ever wants to get into competitive sports.
But the arena is one that every woman should be
invested in. And I want to add one more point.
Play at so disappointing that actually it's men that are
coming to fight for women's sports more than it is
mostly biological women. Now, look, you have Riley Gaines, you

(32:10):
have Cunningham, who have all these other wonderful women. But
why is it that the NBA players have to say,
I want to jump into the WNBA to actually create
standards for women.

Speaker 2 (32:22):
What did you think?

Speaker 1 (32:22):
Buck and I talked about this. You just mentioned you
have three boys and a daughter. AOC made a big
deal of freezing her eggs. She's going to be thirty
seven years old. I believe in October it got a
massive amount of attention. We were just talking with Doug
Showan on the program earlier. AOC is now the favorite
to potentially be the nominee in twenty twenty eight. Some Republicans,

(32:44):
I think stepped all over themselves. Buck agrees with this,
criticizing her for this. How would you handle a situation
like that? Your mom of four? What did you think
when you saw that video go viral?

Speaker 10 (32:56):
Listen? I think AOC she's considering how having children later
on in life.

Speaker 11 (33:02):
Freezing your eggs is absolutely what she should be doing,
and it is scientific that she should be doing this,
and the fact that she wants to have children later
in life should be celebrated.

Speaker 10 (33:13):
Now, I think that this proves.

Speaker 11 (33:15):
To be a really, really difficult part for her as
she wants to be a presidential frontrunner.

Speaker 10 (33:21):
It is very difficult for.

Speaker 11 (33:23):
Anyone to be single, matter it doesn't matter male or female.
So not married and no kids and a presidential frontrunner,
that really sets her apart and sets her on the
outside of what has been any typical presidential candidate to
this day. It is very difficult to relate to the
American family when you yourself are not married and don't

(33:45):
have any children that you can speak to, So the
two are very separate. Her as a personal in her
personal life, freezing her eggs, I think that is exactly
the direction she should go for presidential purposes. I think
it really is going to be a difficult run for
her to be a front runner, unmarried, without children.

Speaker 4 (34:04):
Katie, thanks for being here with us. Gavin Newsom, as
you well know, hails from your home state and you
are a special Florida correspondent for many things on this show.
We had Doug shown on before. He's a Democrat pollster
in the game for decades, and he pointed out Newsom
seems to be fading. Is that the sense you get

(34:24):
from your Cali contacts is Newsom losing steam or is
it just too early to know what good old Gavin
has up his sleeve for twenty twenty eight.

Speaker 11 (34:35):
Well, he's undergoing an unfortunate rebrand where now he is
an insurgent.

Speaker 10 (34:41):
Everybody can see right through this.

Speaker 11 (34:43):
He went to Michigan to campaign for radical l Sayed,
which I think was a huge mistake.

Speaker 10 (34:48):
Gavin Newsom is.

Speaker 12 (34:49):
Losing steam and for over the last year, as we've
been looking at him trying to pick up the presidential ticket,
I have said, at some point Gavin Newsom is going
to have to fall back on his Paul record, on
his track record for California, and when they look at it,
it will.

Speaker 10 (35:04):
Be an abysmal failure.

Speaker 13 (35:05):
I think he is too big of a risk for
the Democrat Party at this point to run, not only
because the fraud, the open border, the illegal aliens, but
also the let's just talk about the fires and the palisades,
the lack of business productivity, the highest rate of exodus
out of our state, the taxes he's now floating, the

(35:27):
billionaire's wealth tax, not not for California but nationwide. And
so this this is going to be proved to be
a huge problem for the Democrats, which is why I'm
seeing and I'm sure you guys are too that Kamala Harris,
our other California success story, is re emerging as another.

Speaker 10 (35:44):
Front runner for the Democrat Party. So yes, Gavin is
losing steam like his train.

Speaker 5 (35:51):
Hike.

Speaker 1 (35:51):
All right, Katie, I'm gonna hit you with a question
on the on the on the way out on this
bluck and eye, and you can continue with the answer
on YouTube. But we asked Aaron Wexeler about this. Buck
took me to his fancy Miami gym. I went into
his fancy Miami gym and I felt like I was
at a swimsuit competition. Women everywhere in the gym are

(36:14):
basically working out in bikinis. I couldn't believe it. I
was like, what in the world is going on here?
You've got four kids, but you're also in great shape.
I bet you have seen this gym culture. I want
you to answer this question on YouTube, and this is
going to be a hell of a tease everybody. Clay
and Buck YouTube channel. How do you decide as a

(36:35):
woman because most guys are just wearing, you know, like
shorts and T shirts. What is and is not appropriate
to wear to the gym? And am I crazy or
have the outfits changed massively in the last few years.
Katie is going to answer that question on the YouTube
page on YouTube.

Speaker 2 (36:52):
Everybody join us, stay with us live here on the stream.
It's gonna come up right as the show ends. Now
