Hour 3 of the Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Show delivers a dynamic mix of cultural commentary, political analysis, and listener engagement. The hour kicks off with Katie Miller, host of the Katie Miller Podcast, joining Clay and Buck for a candid conversation about the New York City mayoral election, progressive politics, and cultural contradictions. Katie critiques Gen Z voters and liberal women for supporting candidates who oppose their stated ideals, such as women’s rights, while embracing policies like open borders that lead to rising crime. She warns that America is trending toward the UK’s failed immigration model and calls out the hypocrisy of progressive movements like “Trans Rights for Gaza.”
The discussion shifts to gender politics and women’s sports, spotlighting a shocking story from the National Women’s Soccer League, where a player was vilified for saying women’s soccer should be for women. Katie argues that liberal white women are undermining women’s rights to virtue signal, while magazines like Glamour glorify biological men as women. The hosts also touch on cultural flashpoints, including Sidney Sweeney’s refusal to apologize for a controversial ad, and debate why society shames traditional femininity while celebrating woke narratives.
Katie then addresses the broader cultural battle: encouraging young women to value motherhood and family as much as careers. She argues that Republicans fail to promote the importance of raising children and building strong marriages, noting that societal praise for workplace success overshadows the critical role of stay-at-home moms. Her message: being a mom is a “civilization-building” career that deserves equal respect.
The conversation turns political with outrage over Virginia electing Jay Jones as Attorney General, despite his violent rhetoric wishing harm on political opponents. Katie calls this a dangerous sign of partisanship eclipsing basic decency, warning that Republicans face growing hostility in blue states.
Clay and Buck then pivot to breaking news on the government shutdown’s impact on air travel, sharing Clay’s email from Delta about flight reductions at 40 major airports and United’s preemptive cancellations. They urge listeners to prepare for holiday travel chaos as staffing shortages hit air traffic control.
Economic concerns dominate the latter half of the hour. A podcast listener challenges Trump to focus on fixing inflation rather than blaming Democrats. Clay and Buck explain why inflation is “embedded” and compare today’s struggles to the Reagan era post-Carter. They predict economic recovery by mid-2026 but stress that prices won’t return to 2019 levels. The hosts also explore structural challenges for younger generations, including skyrocketing housing costs, student debt, and diminishing value of college degrees. They play remarks from Palantir CEO Alex Karp, who notes that skilled trades now outpace Ivy League degrees in economic value—a trend accelerated by AI and automation.
The hour closes with rapid-fire listener calls on topics like diesel fuel’s role in the economy, eliminating the filibuster, and even a lighthearted proposal for a Clay & Buck dating platform. Clay and Buck wrap up with humor, sports talk, and a reminder to tune in for Friday’s show.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Third hour of play end book. Get's going right now, everybody.
We're joined by Katie Miller, Katie Miller podcast rocketing up
the charts all across America, and Katie, I got to say,
happy to see all your success. Also just happy to
see you. Tell that jerk Jenk, whatever his name is,
(00:20):
what you really think of him. Over on Piers Morgan Show,
I saw that you weren't having any of this with
the let's just trash Israel constantly as Jenk does, and
then say that it has somehow nothing to do with
Jewish people. Israel Jewish people, these are two separate entities entirely.
Speaker 2 (00:39):
Did I lose my cool with him where I had
a logical argument, absolutely? Did I have a better logical
argument to make, absolutely, But when you see someone like
him who's like sweating and can't pull it together, I
wasn't thinking very clearly. But what I can tell you
is someone who's funded by the Muslim Brotherhood and it's
a supporter of Hamas. They typically have only one meaning
when they say is Reel not everybody, And do I
(01:01):
stand by everything Israel done? Absolutely not. But when those
type of people criticize Israel, they pretty much mean one thing.
Speaker 1 (01:11):
We're talking to Steven Miller's wife, Katie. She's got a
great podcast. We are rolling through the third hour of
the program here, Katie. Obviously a lot of people trying
to figure out what happened in New York with Mom Donnie,
what happened in Virginia, what happened in New Jersey. What's
your take? And how much should we be concerned about
(01:33):
what happened in all those races? And how does it project?
Most importantly, probably towards the mid terms, if at all, says.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
It overly concerned me that we lost three blue states
that Trump didn't win, No, of course not. What concerns me, though,
is the number of voters in New York who haven't
lived there longer than five years. It concerns me the
amount of gen Z females who are voting to sport
a man who won't denounce Shuri a law, but at
(02:02):
the same time claim that they're in support of women's rights.
It's just a It doesn't make quite so much sense
to me, guys. I don't think it makes much sense
to you guys either. Why women are going who who
are wearing those white like pink pony hats, those pink
hats where they were like in those women rights supporter
marches that Will.
Speaker 1 (02:21):
Clay and I are still trying to figure out, Katie,
what the trans rights for Gaza movement is really all about,
because I think they missed a memo on that one.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
Yeah, I mean, I don't know how many trans rights
there are in Gaza because I think they kill them
all there. But again it goes to the people who
are supporting women's rights are voting for a man who
doesn't support women's rights and doesn't denounce shuri a law.
What has we gone wrong in a country where young
women aren't voting for people who support their own ideals,
(02:57):
and they vote for people who are against the rights
that they are seeing and vote against their elevation. Why
are white men in our country? They are the only
group left who are actually because they see the writing
on the wall. They see it. As they don't continue
to support people like themselves, there won't be people like
themselves left in our country. We are definitely becoming a
country that looks a lot more like the UK, the
(03:19):
same country we all left back in seventeen seventy six.
You know, we are looking like a country that has
open borders, that has random Pakistani crime on our streets.
And I saw a man who was killed, who was
stabbed walking his dog in the UK by Afghanis. And
that's what happens when you support open borders policies. And
(03:42):
that's what you see in New York City, right when
most of the people who supported Mamzami in this election
just came to New York City the last five years.
Speaker 3 (03:50):
What is that?
Speaker 1 (03:51):
No, it's totally true. We talked about those numbers on
the show on Wednesday, yesterday's program. We're talking to Katie Miller.
You can check out our podcast video podcast version of
that as well, that is out there everywhere. We were
talking about women being unwilling to stand up for other women.
I don't know if you've seen this story out of
the National Women's Soccer League. It's one of the craziest
(04:13):
stories that I've seen in some time. There is a
biological man that is evidently playing in the National Women's
Soccer League. According to these stories, one of the players
for an LA Area soccer team came out and said
something radical. Katie. She said, hey, women's soccer should only
be played by women. The Angel City team in La
(04:37):
then had a press conference where they ripped this teammate
of THEIRS for saying women's soccer should only be played
by women, accused her of being transphobic, which is quite predictable,
but also accused her of being racist because the player
in question happens to be black. Why are women actually
the worst defenders of women's athletics out there? A lot
(05:00):
of people like Riley Gaines, they're brave, This is a
vast majority opinion, but the actual athletes themselves seem intent
on erasing themselves. What's going on here?
Speaker 2 (05:09):
Who is the undoing of Western civilization? It is a
liberal white woman. It is the woman who for some
reason feels so sympathetic and empathetic towards other groups that
they're willing to cannibalize their own people. They're willing to
leave their daughters worse off because they would like to
virtue signal for the support of people on the internet.
(05:33):
It quite frankly makes no sense to me, Clay. Why
is it that we can't just say women are biologically women?
Why is it that we want to say that biological
men who don't have a uterus, who don't have periods,
who don't have cycles and play differently. By the way,
when you have different hormonal changes at different time of
the month, those women are not men and men are
(05:56):
not women. You know, if you saw I don't know
if you guys saw this, but Glamor magazine in the
UK had nine biological men on their ow.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
Oh yeah, oh yeah.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
I remember growing up, by the way, I didn't grow
up wanting to be a man. I grew up wanting
to be a woman. So I don't know what Glamour
magazine is doing except saying that men are better at
being women than women, which is here we have these
sports are doing.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
By the way, we have Sidney Sweeney, who somehow has
become a symbol of I don't know, conservatives the right.
I would just say Buck a symbol of it's good
to be pretty, and I'm just gonna own be This
is what I was gonna say, is the media acts
like she's some partisan figure. It's like, now she's just
like I'm a hot chick and I'm using it to
(06:41):
sell tickets and you know, make money, and a very
attractive lady another way of saying this, And Katie, she
is refusing to apologize. This has cut forty. This was
during a GQ interview. This is for the good genes
ad that got the left off freaked out play it.
Speaker 3 (06:57):
It's the criticism of the content, which is the criticism
of the content, which was basically that maybe specifically in
this political climate, like white people shouldn't joke about genetic superiority.
Like that was kind of like the criticism broadly speaking.
And since you are talking about this, I just wanted
to give you an opportunity to talk about that specifically.
Speaker 4 (07:18):
I think that when I have an issue that I
want to speak about, people here.
Speaker 1 (07:25):
I kind of like where she's going. She's not bending
the need they want her to bend the knee so badly,
be like, stop stop being hot and famous. It's not allowed.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
Women are not allowed to be attractive in this country anymore.
It's just this is not happening you see on every
single liberal publication men, because they're no longer allowed to
say that women are allowed to be hot and attractive
if you're white. Right. That's what this is coming down to,
is Sidney Swingey in that same interview, says, I was
just wearing jeans. I like wearing jeans. Why is it
controversial for a white women to put on geens and beyond,
(07:56):
you know, and being an advertisement.
Speaker 5 (07:58):
It's not.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
But at the same time, did you guys see a
Gold's gym where a black woman was in the locker
room just changing and a guy comes in like with
his penis out and she's screaming like why the guy
in my locker room? And they kick her out.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
We played that audio and had that discussion, and so
here is the I wrote about this in the book,
and I feel like I understand young men pretty well
because I'm raising three young men seventeen, fifteen, and eleven.
I know you have several kids as well. Your kids
are really young. But one of the big debates that's
(08:33):
out there, Katie, is how do we get young women
to in some way see the world through and a
lens that young men are seeing it through. And doesn't
mean they all have to be Republicans, you know, just
a fifty to fifty split would not be a bad thing.
How do women, young women in particular, get reached with
the arguments that actually make sense. What would you do
(08:56):
if you had a magic wand and they said your
job and part of your I think what you're doing
with your podcast is trying to speak to this audience.
How do you reach them?
Speaker 2 (09:04):
The reason I started my podcast was to speak to
these exact women, the women who are not getting married,
who are not having kids, who believe a career is
what they should be doing first and foremost. And I
don't think our country, and specifically Republicans, do a good
job of telling young women that being a mom and
being a wife and raising children is a valued career.
(09:25):
It is an honest, hard, good day's work, and that
going to a job in which you're just paying enough
to make ends meet at the daycare, in the grocery
store is not what life is meant to be. It
is okay, by the way, to dress up and look
pretty for your husband. It is okay to just feel
good about raising little children. It is okay to have
(09:47):
a day where you're just helping your kids be a
better person that day, and you raise better children when
you are home for your children. And I'm not saying
that's a one size fits all magic wand because in
some households that doesn't work. And we should to be
supportive of women who go to work, and we should
be supportive of different households that look differently, but for
a large segment of our population. The reason why so
(10:07):
many young men are lost is because young women stopped
wanting to take care of those young men. They stopped
wanting to be in these marriages at young ages. Right
you look at Travis Kelsey and Taylor Swift. They're getting
engaged in their late thirties instead of their early twenties, when,
by the way women's bodies were meant to have kids.
We should be celebrating. We should be celebrating and encouraging
(10:29):
young women to grow together with young men because marriages
and a spouse in a support system, as you guys know,
make it better and makes it easier to have a career.
My husband, Stephen Miller, is the most supportive of my career.
He makes it possible for me to have a career
and have young children. But guess what that means trade
offs for both of us. If I'm out that night
at works, Stephen, it's home giving the kids a bass
(10:51):
and giving them dinner and putting them to bed. We
make sure that our children have a parent home at night.
Is it easy with his job and my job. No,
But that's what a support system looks like. And they
wish we encourage more young women that being a mom
is more than good enough.
Speaker 1 (11:08):
And I think it's also worth noting, Katie, and everything
you said there is so well put in an important
for a lot of people to hear. No one ever
feels the need to clear their throat and apologize for encouraging. Again,
to your point, it's not one size fits all. It's
not that, you know, people can't have different paths and
not everyone's meant to get married or not everyone's meant
to have whatever. That's fine. But if somebody says, hey,
(11:29):
what we really need are two people working and kids
in daycare, and isn't that great, no one feels the
need to apologize or explain anything about that. They can
just advocate for that in our culture. But if you say, hey,
being a mom who stays home and raises kids, that's
a beautiful, worthy, critical civilization building pathway to people get
(11:53):
angry about that. And I think that says a lot.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
What the you know, what's the male equivalent of giving
a female flower or so? I was just having this
conversation and to me, it's cooking your husband a loving meal, right,
It's taking the time to show somebody else you care
and unfortunate in our society, when you have two working parents,
you lose that ability to have that loving touch. And
so where you get lost, boys is in a generation
of women that don't see that that important part is
(12:19):
valued and is just as critical by the way as
getting a next promotion or getting a higher pay bump
that you work right, like LinkedIn exists to be able
to cheer someone on in the workplace. That doesn't exist
in a corresponding value to a stay at home mom. Right,
People celebrate you when you have a baby, but there
isn't that same village anymore for when your child has
its first steps, or when you get through a tough day,
(12:41):
or when you cook a really good turkey. You're chicken
at dinner, right, and I'm like, man, I killed it today,
But me killing it today on cooking a really good
dinner doesn't get me the same praise from co workers
because it's like co workers are little children that you know,
getting a killing a presentation or having that next sat
increase get you that same level of praise from our society.
(13:03):
And we should do more to praise moms and to
praise women, because then they would be encouraged to have
a career path that is just raising kids, that is
that same level of value and getting paid more, because
why in our society do we only value paying women more?
Speaker 1 (13:17):
As that's your worst last question for you, Katie, and
we know you're busy. The results on Tuesday, the one
that Buck and I can't get over is Jay Jones
being elected as the chief law enforcement officer of the
state of Virginia after saying that he'd like to see
the kids of his political opponents murdered, that he would
piss on their graves. I mean, truly vile things. What
(13:37):
does it say about the Democrat Party that they would
consider him to still be electable, to elect him and
have him win by six in the wake of what
we already saw happen with President Trump and the wake
of what we certainly have seen happen with Charlie Kirk
to endorse violent ideation like this, That's the one result
that I couldn't get past. You've got young kids, You've
(13:58):
got someone who's in the political or what was your
reaction to that result.
Speaker 2 (14:03):
I have three young children who live in the state
of Virginia, so you can imagine how sad it is
when you see your neighbors vote for somebody who wishes
the equivalent of my children dead. And what you're seeing
here is when partisanship wins out and when Trump's derangeent
syndom wins out over common decency and being in human decency.
(14:24):
What you're seeing also is when you have bad candidates
and bad campaigns that are run in Virginia and you
just have Democrats who blindly support the Democratic candidate. Because
the bottom line is that when I mean, it is
just really sad to see that people who are my neighbors,
both to my left and my right, support somebody who
(14:44):
wishes death upon our family and death upon families who
think like us. I think of Megan McCain, who also
lives in Virginia, and that says that these law enforcement
officers won't stand up for us when people are coming
with that same level of rhetoric and hate and actionable
intelligence that you need as a top law enforcement officer
in Virginia. Why would anyone with children live in Virginia
(15:05):
who think and vote as a Republican. It's a very
scary time to be in our country. It's a very
scary time to be a Republican and I think it
only gets worse before it gets better, and we saw
that with the election of Jay Jones.
Speaker 1 (15:17):
Kati, we appreciate the time, good luck speaking to all
the different women out there that I think you can
be incredibly impactful for culturally, and certainly we thank you

News and politics but also a little comic relief Clay
Travis at buck Sexton. Find them on the free iHeartRadio
app or wherever you get your podcast.
Speaker 1 (16:51):
Welcome back in play Travis buck Sexton show. All of
us rolling through the Thursday edition thanks to Katie Miller
who was just with us, and you to check out
her podcast. It is becoming very very influential out there.
And uh look, we got a bunch of people who
want to weigh in variety of different topics. Jonathan in
New Jersey, we asked earlier, why did you not vote?
(17:12):
Did you vote in twenty twenty four Jonathan and the presidential.
Speaker 7 (17:15):
Well, no, I didn't vote that was just because I
wasn't like really registered. But the reason that I didn't
vote now is because although everyone says in seriod that
if everyone would vote to make a difference, but in practicality,
my single vote won't make a difference. So there's no
point in voting.
Speaker 1 (17:30):
So you but you listened to this program, Sorry to
cut you off. You listened to this program and you're
engaged in politics, yet you don't think your vote matters,
so you just decided not to vote.
Speaker 7 (17:39):
Yeah, well, I followed politics more as like a hobby
than I like the thing that people fall sports is
why I followed politics. But I think everyone shold vote.
I just think that my vote won't make a difference
whether I vote or not. If a Canadan doesn't win
by one vote, it won't affect the election. So this
why I'm not going to go out and waste my
time waiting line for an hour to vote if nothing
is going to come out from it.
Speaker 1 (17:56):
Anyways, Well, thanks for the call. I would just encour
reach everybody out there to actually go vote, buck and
you do matter, all right. The smart companies I've gotten
ready for the early online shoppers, Rapid Radios is one

We appreciate all of you hanging out with us. A
(19:02):
lot of reactions, weighing in, rolling in with people weighing
in on a variety of different topics out there. Let
me just start with this one. Buck, I don't this
is not ideal, but just twenty minutes ago I got
an email from Delta. I'm supposed to fly tomorrow. I
bet a lot of you are going to be getting these.
These are the top stories, by and large on all
the television networks. Dear Clay, Delta is complying with a
(19:26):
federal directive to reduce flights at forty major US airports
starting tomorrow due to air traffic control staffing shortages caused
by the government shutdown. Then they say, hey, your flight
might be impacted. Just make sure you're checking, and they
don't give me any info. So I don't know what
I'm gonna be able to get out of New York.
It's gonna be like escape from New York here. But
(19:47):
I'm imagining that many of you are getting these same emails.
And the headline right now is that United is preemptively
canceling hundreds of flights tomorrow. So I just I want
to mention that I want you guys to be on
top of it. I ideally do not want you guys
to be doing what I potentially am going to have
to do, which is sit around at an airport all day.
(20:09):
Podcast listener matt AA, this is something we've heard from
a lot of people. I want to let him make
the argument then buck and I will react. Maybe some
of you will as well.
Speaker 8 (20:20):
Listen, hey, gentlemen, you may disagree with what I'm about
to say, and that's fine, but the rosy colored picture
of the country that people have been painting, and especially
in conservative media, is so inaccurate. Gas prices are still up,
cost of living is still up, cost of goods is
still up. And I understand we all know who did it,
but we elected Trump to fix it, not to tell
us who did it. And dancing on the graves of
(20:40):
the Democrats prematurely was not the smartest thing to do.
If he doesn't want to become a lame duck in
January twenty twenty seven, he really needs to focus on
domestic issues.
Speaker 1 (20:49):
Now, Okay, So that was Matt podcast listener, Here's what
I would say. Gas prices are actually down compared to
four years ago. Here, I just I think this is
going to be an issue, and I'm open to what
people would say. You can't fix inflation. This is why
(21:09):
inflation is so awful, pernicious and nasty. Once it happens,
it's embedded forever. And I get it. Everything cost way
too much. But Trump doesn't have a magic wand to
suddenly make things cost what they did in twenty nineteen
or twenty eighteen. This is a function of Joe Biden's
(21:29):
awful economic decision making. I didn't live through it, Buck,
You didn't really live through it, at least not to
be able to remember it. Some of you guys may
remember when you had awful inflation from Jimmy Carter. There
were then a two term Ronald Reagan window. Reagan was
not very popular for the first couple of years of
his tenure because he was still dealing with the fallout
(21:53):
of the economy that Jimmy Carter had created. I think
that there is going to be an element of that
for Trump now. I think by this time next year,
by the summer of twenty twenty six, you are going
to see the economy roaring, stock markets at all time high.
Gas prices are at four year lows. The overall rate
of increase in prices has declined, but it's not going
(22:15):
to go back to twenty eighteen or twenty nineteen. And
I think that's what a lot of people in their
minds are expecting to happen. Yes, it's going to be tough.
It turns out when you basically shut down whole sectors
of an economy and print money. There are big problems
from that. Yeah, that is unfortunately what we did to
(22:36):
the tune of six trillion plus two trillion. It was
really like a COVID was like a infusion of eight
or nine trillion dollars of dollars without underlying assets, products,
or value into the system. That's really really bad. And
(22:57):
some of us, like yours truly and Clay truly, I
don't know how I would say that we're telling everybody
this at the time, matter of public record, we both
had shows. You're both saying this, this is crazy, it's
a really bad idea, don't do this, and people didn't listen.
So once those prices go up, once the inflation has
(23:19):
set in, it is very hard to turn things around.
But there are some other there's some structural things that
we deal with right now. And for example, in one
area that I'd say the Mumdani the Mumdani Show, because
it really felt like a show tapped into effectively was
people saying that they have a raw deal. Let's just
(23:42):
say a raw deal for the younger generation. Now, some
of that is whining or whatever, but it's not make
your own coffee and don't eat out avocado toast or whatever.
I mean that stuff is very dismissive and that's not
fair because I mean, look at the price of a home, yeah,
nationwide in America in the last ten years, and look
at what has happened the home price. The amount of
(24:03):
money you have to make before the same home is
basically doubled, and everyone has not gotten one hundred percent race. Yes,
so we know that something structurally within the system. We
have the people pulling the levers. Treasury, Congress, all of
it did things that made it harder for those to
(24:24):
accumulate wealth and then assets to do so. And this
has uh, this is something that's it is a big problem.
And when you add on top of that all these
people who feel like their degrees or not. Oh, do
you guys have this one? I actually sent this in
Alex Karp, who is a uh volanteer palate palatiner. How
(24:48):
did you say, polantier. I don't know polantier. I don't
palatier polantier. I don't how to read. Well, I'm very literic,
but I don't. I don't volunteer to you. Yeah, helier
all right, it's very successful of those like one of
the most wealthy, one of the most valuable companies, like
you know, in the world today. But it's cool whatever.
But so yeah, Palanteer, he's the CEO of it. Guys,
(25:11):
let me know if we if we get it, if
we have it, just because I think it'd be better
to hear it from him. But I think, you know,
he says, one of the big challenges that we've seen
is that people have realized that the degrees that they
were told we're going to be really valuable are not
really valuable, and more hard skills and work experience and
(25:35):
things like that are more valuable in the general marketplace.
And I just think that there's been a there has
been a shift, Clay. When you and I went to school,
it was the idea was you get into a certain
kind of institution. You go there, you have endless options
at your disposal in that field. Right, you're going to
(25:57):
get all these great job offers whatever. But now everyone
has an undergraduate degree in the marketplace that's looking for
these kinds of jobs. It doesn't differentiate you. And people
have all this debt and now they can't afford how's
it like there have been policy mistakes made. I think
this is also where AI is going to come in
(26:17):
in a massive way. A lot of well educated people
during COVID were very cocky and arrogant. What would they
say when people lost their jobs learned to code? The
jobs that many people who are young, white collar professionals
have grown accustomed to being able to get are going
to be the ones that get eliminated first. And so
(26:38):
your plumbers out there, your roofers, these guys that work
with their hands, they're going to actually have more economic
power going forward, which is going to be I think
very interesting to see how it shakes out. Let's get
to a couple more calls. Daniel and Tulsa, Jonathan and
New Jersey called in said he didn't vote because he
didn't think his vote counted.
Speaker 9 (26:59):
What do you say to him, Well, I think I
think he's He's probably right, his own single vote doesn't count.
But when you add him all together, yours mind, you
know his, they they start to make a meal. So
when I was a kid, I used to go fishing
as old man was always there in the neighborhood pond,
(27:20):
and he was always keeping the fish, and I'd catch
a little tiny perch and I'd say do you want it?
And he say, yeah, throw it in the bucket and
I catch another one he'd say. I'd say do you
want it? And he'd say, you need a bean, don't
you like? What are you talking about?
Speaker 1 (27:34):
Man?
Speaker 9 (27:35):
You to bean and nobody eats one bean, but you
had them all together and they make a meal. So
we got to just remember, yes, your single vote might
not sway it, but everybody's together makes a meal. And
that's how we got to change our society back to,
you know, a god fearing republic that is proud to
(27:56):
be who we are.
Speaker 1 (27:58):
I thank you for the call. I just personally, I
want every single person out there listening to us to vote.
I can't imagine sitting around on election day and feeling
like I hadn't been willing to take the bare minimum
time to make my voice heard on an individual level.
And yes, you can sit around and say, well, in general,
how often does the election come down to one vote?
(28:20):
You know, millions of people are saying that, and I
think the answer is regularly. I think I think eventually,
play the fact that you deprive Curtis Leewa of victory
is going to be something that our audience forgives. You
know that your suppression of the SLIWA vote. You know,
so he got seven percent, it would have been seventy
(28:42):
Clay if only you had shown to put on that
red beret. And by the way, we do have polantier ceo,
Alex Karp. I'm sorry, I love that one paleer palatinalanaan ceo.
Maybe maybe there's like a Southern way to say it,
but here's a palenteer ceo, Alex Karp, and he's talking
(29:06):
about exactly what I was just mentioning a moment ago,
about a lot of these young people with these degrees
and how they're feeling play it.
Speaker 5 (29:13):
I think the average you know, ivy league grad voting
for this mayor is highly annoyed that their education is
not that valuable. And the person down the street who
knows how to drill for oil and gas, who's moved
to Texas has a more valuable profession. And I think
that annoys out of these people.
Speaker 1 (29:30):
I think that's true. By the way, I think that
there's a hey, hold on a second, I went to
Bates College, or I went to Hamilton or Amherst or whatever.
I'm just throwing things out whatever the school is. You know,
I went to you know, University of Pennsylvania, uh, and
I have a degree in I should have through in
those blanks. A lot of people in New York City
(29:53):
and other cities are finding out that doesn't matter as
much as you were led to believe by this system.
And that is true, Clay, it is true. No, I
think that's one hundred percent true. And not only that.
And by the way, I'll say, a lot of people
who go to law school, for instance, have these sort
of jarring realities between the world you thought you were
(30:14):
entering in the world you actually enter. I've said this before.
I love law school, but it teaches you how to think,
and you get to debate the most significant issues that
have ever faced the country. And then when you're twenty
five years old, after you've run up a couple hundred
thousand dollars in debt, you get slapped by the cold
heart of reality. You're sitting at a desk clicking through
a variety of different documents on your computer screen for
(30:38):
twelve hours a day. You're not involved in a time
to kill. It's not a few good men. The actual
grind of being a lawyer is very different than the
media portrayal of what lawyerdomb is. I'm gonna tell you something.
The first time in a job, like a job job,
that I had to be in a cubicle and realize
that like this was my home for the next nine
(31:00):
nine and a half hours, had a mini panic attack.
It's like, this sucks. Yeah, I don't want to do that.
Of course it does horrible. I mean, of course it does.
Most jobs are not that much fun. And by the way,
nine and a half hours, I remember sitting in a
law firm office and thinking this could be the next
forty years of my life, like just arguing procedural motions
(31:20):
that I don't really care about for a long time.
And look, the jobs can pay decently, but I think
even those jobs are gonna get eradicated soon. By the way,
let's play this. I like Bob, he has great taste
in radio BB Talk Back BB. If we can, would
(31:41):
be fabulous for us to listen to Hey, Clay going
through excellent words when you were talking about coaching and
you can only control what you can control. I thought
those were outstanding words. Thank you for remind us about that.
There you go. See while they may want to take
me out because I didn't support sleeve one enough. Bob
has got great taste, and you didn't play football, But
(32:03):
would you ever coach to a school that I coached
some flag football? But what I was gonna say is,
if you had, if your profession had to be coach,
which sport would you be the not what you want
to do the most? Would you be the best at coaching? Oh,
that's a great question. I don't think i'd be. Well,
I've coached them all, and I don't think I was
very good. I don't think I was very good at
(32:25):
any of them. But I think probably probably baseball. It
depends on the age, right, because kids today get so
advanced so quickly. It doesn't take that long for kids
to get better at a sport now than if you
didn't play until you were twenty. Kids today, by fourteen
or fifteen are playing at a more advanced level than
(32:47):
you did yourself. But I think it's a good question.
I think I probably know football and basketball and baseball
the best, but I played soccer, so I think I
would probably go I've coached baseball the most, so I
say I coach soccer, and I would say I'd go soccer.
You know why, Clay. You just got to know who
the best players are in the positions, let them do
(33:09):
their thing, and then you get to stand on the
sideline in a fancy European suit and be like. There's
a lot less management in the middle of a soccer
game than there is the other games. Calling plays and
stuff like that is actually pretty difficult. Speaking of calling plays,
here's a play for all of you. It's called price picks.
And this is several different elements here that I want
(33:29):
you guys to be able to take advantage of. These
are all touchdown passes. I am taking every one of
these guys to take a throw a touchdown pass. Buck,
be careful on this one. His name is Michael Pinnix.
That is Pinnix with an X. Very easy to mispronounce
that name. Michael Pennocks more than one half touchdown. It's
(33:50):
a very different bet if you mispronounced that one. Trevor
Lawrence more than one half touchdown pass, Bryce Young more
than one half touchdown pass, Tua more than one half
touchdown pass, Jackson Dart I'm in New York more than
one half touchdown pass, and Marcus Mariota more than one
touchdown pass. That is six different players all to throw
(34:14):
more than one half. That means that they throw one
touchdown pass. This is an ambitious pick that I am making.
But you can play along with us at prizepicks dot
com Code Clay. That is, pricepicks dot com Code Clay
fifty dollars when you play five dollars prize picks dot
com Code Clay.
Speaker 8 (34:33):
Want to begin to know when you're on the go.
Speaker 6 (34:36):
The Team forty seven podcast Trump highlights from the week
some days at noon Eastern in the clay in Bug
podcast feed. Find it on the iHeartRadio app or wherever
you get your podcasts. Welcome back in Clay Travis buck
Sexton Show. Should we try to run through as many
of these calls as we can in a relatively short period.
You all have thirty seconds, and we begin with in
(35:00):
Fort Collins, Colorado, Go Fast, Dan did not start us?
Speaker 1 (35:07):
Well? Bye? Dan? John in Michigan, go fast.
Speaker 4 (35:12):
Oh. I just want to say, don't you think the
inflation and all that that was all by design? I mean,
they really want us to be dependent on the government.
Speaker 1 (35:24):
No, thank you for the call. No, I think they're
just morons. I mean I don't even think they're smart
enough to intentionally screw the economy this bad. I think
they just don't understand basic morons. Tearing in Louisville, Kentucky.
What you got?
Speaker 7 (35:37):
All right?
Speaker 10 (35:38):
They need to go ahead and get rid of Philibusher.
The Democrats already tried it, and they would have done
it if ended for mansion and cinema. And they're gone.
There's no more of them. They'll do it the minute
they get.
Speaker 7 (35:48):
Back in office.
Speaker 1 (35:50):
There's an argument for that. We talked about it. Damon
and Colorado. What you got, hellas, listen, do you want
to fix this economy?
Speaker 3 (35:57):
Man?
Speaker 7 (35:57):
The number one driver is diesel fuel. Here and everybody
seeing gas prices are down does not matter.
Speaker 6 (36:04):
Fixed diesel fuel.
Speaker 9 (36:05):
You will change the logistics and the transportation.
Speaker 7 (36:08):
You will, You will impact the economy tomorrow.
Speaker 4 (36:11):
Trum Trump could do this tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (36:14):
Brian in Aurora, Colorado. Mm, hey, Clay and Bucks. This
is Brian from rural Colorado.
Speaker 7 (36:25):
I like that idea of having like a dating center
for Clay and buck listeners for just whatever. That would
be kind of sweet and I think that could happen.
Speaker 1 (36:36):
You can tell you father. I'm a fabulous matchmaker fabulous,
telling you very good at this so we could be honest.
Some Friday edition of the program coming tomorrow. Load up
those talkbacks. We'll see you then
Third hour of play end book. Get's going right now, everybody.
We're joined by Katie Miller, Katie Miller podcast rocketing up
the charts all across America, and Katie, I got to say,
happy to see all your success. Also just happy to
see you. Tell that jerk Jenk, whatever his name is,
(00:20):
what you really think of him. Over on Piers Morgan Show,
I saw that you weren't having any of this with
the let's just trash Israel constantly as Jenk does, and
then say that it has somehow nothing to do with
Jewish people. Israel Jewish people, these are two separate entities entirely.
Speaker 2 (00:39):
Did I lose my cool with him where I had
a logical argument, absolutely? Did I have a better logical
argument to make, absolutely, But when you see someone like
him who's like sweating and can't pull it together, I
wasn't thinking very clearly. But what I can tell you
is someone who's funded by the Muslim Brotherhood and it's
a supporter of Hamas. They typically have only one meaning
when they say is Reel not everybody, And do I
(01:01):
stand by everything Israel done? Absolutely not. But when those
type of people criticize Israel, they pretty much mean one thing.
Speaker 1 (01:11):
We're talking to Steven Miller's wife, Katie. She's got a
great podcast. We are rolling through the third hour of
the program here, Katie. Obviously a lot of people trying
to figure out what happened in New York with Mom Donnie,
what happened in Virginia, what happened in New Jersey. What's
your take? And how much should we be concerned about
(01:33):
what happened in all those races? And how does it project?
Most importantly, probably towards the mid terms, if at all, says.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
It overly concerned me that we lost three blue states
that Trump didn't win, No, of course not. What concerns me, though,
is the number of voters in New York who haven't
lived there longer than five years. It concerns me the
amount of gen Z females who are voting to sport
a man who won't denounce Shuri a law, but at
(02:02):
the same time claim that they're in support of women's rights.
It's just a It doesn't make quite so much sense
to me, guys. I don't think it makes much sense
to you guys either. Why women are going who who
are wearing those white like pink pony hats, those pink
hats where they were like in those women rights supporter
marches that Will.
Speaker 1 (02:21):
Clay and I are still trying to figure out, Katie,
what the trans rights for Gaza movement is really all about,
because I think they missed a memo on that one.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
Yeah, I mean, I don't know how many trans rights
there are in Gaza because I think they kill them
all there. But again it goes to the people who
are supporting women's rights are voting for a man who
doesn't support women's rights and doesn't denounce shuri a law.
What has we gone wrong in a country where young
women aren't voting for people who support their own ideals,
(02:57):
and they vote for people who are against the rights
that they are seeing and vote against their elevation. Why
are white men in our country? They are the only
group left who are actually because they see the writing
on the wall. They see it. As they don't continue
to support people like themselves, there won't be people like
themselves left in our country. We are definitely becoming a
country that looks a lot more like the UK, the
(03:19):
same country we all left back in seventeen seventy six.
You know, we are looking like a country that has
open borders, that has random Pakistani crime on our streets.
And I saw a man who was killed, who was
stabbed walking his dog in the UK by Afghanis. And
that's what happens when you support open borders policies. And
(03:42):
that's what you see in New York City, right when
most of the people who supported Mamzami in this election
just came to New York City the last five years.
Speaker 3 (03:50):
What is that?
Speaker 1 (03:51):
No, it's totally true. We talked about those numbers on
the show on Wednesday, yesterday's program. We're talking to Katie Miller.
You can check out our podcast video podcast version of
that as well, that is out there everywhere. We were
talking about women being unwilling to stand up for other women.
I don't know if you've seen this story out of
the National Women's Soccer League. It's one of the craziest
(04:13):
stories that I've seen in some time. There is a
biological man that is evidently playing in the National Women's
Soccer League. According to these stories, one of the players
for an LA Area soccer team came out and said
something radical. Katie. She said, hey, women's soccer should only
be played by women. The Angel City team in La
(04:37):
then had a press conference where they ripped this teammate
of THEIRS for saying women's soccer should only be played
by women, accused her of being transphobic, which is quite predictable,
but also accused her of being racist because the player
in question happens to be black. Why are women actually
the worst defenders of women's athletics out there? A lot
(05:00):
of people like Riley Gaines, they're brave, This is a
vast majority opinion, but the actual athletes themselves seem intent
on erasing themselves. What's going on here?
Speaker 2 (05:09):
Who is the undoing of Western civilization? It is a
liberal white woman. It is the woman who for some
reason feels so sympathetic and empathetic towards other groups that
they're willing to cannibalize their own people. They're willing to
leave their daughters worse off because they would like to
virtue signal for the support of people on the internet.
(05:33):
It quite frankly makes no sense to me, Clay. Why
is it that we can't just say women are biologically women?
Why is it that we want to say that biological
men who don't have a uterus, who don't have periods,
who don't have cycles and play differently. By the way,
when you have different hormonal changes at different time of
the month, those women are not men and men are
(05:56):
not women. You know, if you saw I don't know
if you guys saw this, but Glamor magazine in the
UK had nine biological men on their ow.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
Oh yeah, oh yeah.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
I remember growing up, by the way, I didn't grow
up wanting to be a man. I grew up wanting
to be a woman. So I don't know what Glamour
magazine is doing except saying that men are better at
being women than women, which is here we have these
sports are doing.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
By the way, we have Sidney Sweeney, who somehow has
become a symbol of I don't know, conservatives the right.
I would just say Buck a symbol of it's good
to be pretty, and I'm just gonna own be This
is what I was gonna say, is the media acts
like she's some partisan figure. It's like, now she's just
like I'm a hot chick and I'm using it to
(06:41):
sell tickets and you know, make money, and a very
attractive lady another way of saying this, And Katie, she
is refusing to apologize. This has cut forty. This was
during a GQ interview. This is for the good genes
ad that got the left off freaked out play it.
Speaker 3 (06:57):
It's the criticism of the content, which is the criticism
of the content, which was basically that maybe specifically in
this political climate, like white people shouldn't joke about genetic superiority.
Like that was kind of like the criticism broadly speaking.
And since you are talking about this, I just wanted
to give you an opportunity to talk about that specifically.
Speaker 4 (07:18):
I think that when I have an issue that I
want to speak about, people here.
Speaker 1 (07:25):
I kind of like where she's going. She's not bending
the need they want her to bend the knee so badly,
be like, stop stop being hot and famous. It's not allowed.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
Women are not allowed to be attractive in this country anymore.
It's just this is not happening you see on every
single liberal publication men, because they're no longer allowed to
say that women are allowed to be hot and attractive
if you're white. Right. That's what this is coming down to,
is Sidney Swingey in that same interview, says, I was
just wearing jeans. I like wearing jeans. Why is it
controversial for a white women to put on geens and beyond,
(07:56):
you know, and being an advertisement.
Speaker 5 (07:58):
It's not.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
But at the same time, did you guys see a
Gold's gym where a black woman was in the locker
room just changing and a guy comes in like with
his penis out and she's screaming like why the guy
in my locker room? And they kick her out.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
We played that audio and had that discussion, and so
here is the I wrote about this in the book,
and I feel like I understand young men pretty well
because I'm raising three young men seventeen, fifteen, and eleven.
I know you have several kids as well. Your kids
are really young. But one of the big debates that's
(08:33):
out there, Katie, is how do we get young women
to in some way see the world through and a
lens that young men are seeing it through. And doesn't
mean they all have to be Republicans, you know, just
a fifty to fifty split would not be a bad thing.
How do women, young women in particular, get reached with
the arguments that actually make sense. What would you do
(08:56):
if you had a magic wand and they said your
job and part of your I think what you're doing
with your podcast is trying to speak to this audience.
How do you reach them?
Speaker 2 (09:04):
The reason I started my podcast was to speak to
these exact women, the women who are not getting married,
who are not having kids, who believe a career is
what they should be doing first and foremost. And I
don't think our country, and specifically Republicans, do a good
job of telling young women that being a mom and
being a wife and raising children is a valued career.
(09:25):
It is an honest, hard, good day's work, and that
going to a job in which you're just paying enough
to make ends meet at the daycare, in the grocery
store is not what life is meant to be. It
is okay, by the way, to dress up and look
pretty for your husband. It is okay to just feel
good about raising little children. It is okay to have
(09:47):
a day where you're just helping your kids be a
better person that day, and you raise better children when
you are home for your children. And I'm not saying
that's a one size fits all magic wand because in
some households that doesn't work. And we should to be
supportive of women who go to work, and we should
be supportive of different households that look differently, but for
a large segment of our population. The reason why so
(10:07):
many young men are lost is because young women stopped
wanting to take care of those young men. They stopped
wanting to be in these marriages at young ages. Right
you look at Travis Kelsey and Taylor Swift. They're getting
engaged in their late thirties instead of their early twenties, when,
by the way women's bodies were meant to have kids.
We should be celebrating. We should be celebrating and encouraging
(10:29):
young women to grow together with young men because marriages
and a spouse in a support system, as you guys know,
make it better and makes it easier to have a career.
My husband, Stephen Miller, is the most supportive of my career.
He makes it possible for me to have a career
and have young children. But guess what that means trade
offs for both of us. If I'm out that night
at works, Stephen, it's home giving the kids a bass
(10:51):
and giving them dinner and putting them to bed. We
make sure that our children have a parent home at night.
Is it easy with his job and my job. No,
But that's what a support system looks like. And they
wish we encourage more young women that being a mom
is more than good enough.
Speaker 1 (11:08):
And I think it's also worth noting, Katie, and everything
you said there is so well put in an important
for a lot of people to hear. No one ever
feels the need to clear their throat and apologize for encouraging. Again,
to your point, it's not one size fits all. It's
not that, you know, people can't have different paths and
not everyone's meant to get married or not everyone's meant
to have whatever. That's fine. But if somebody says, hey,
(11:29):
what we really need are two people working and kids
in daycare, and isn't that great, no one feels the
need to apologize or explain anything about that. They can
just advocate for that in our culture. But if you say, hey,
being a mom who stays home and raises kids, that's
a beautiful, worthy, critical civilization building pathway to people get
(11:53):
angry about that. And I think that says a lot.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
What the you know, what's the male equivalent of giving
a female flower or so? I was just having this
conversation and to me, it's cooking your husband a loving meal, right,
It's taking the time to show somebody else you care
and unfortunate in our society, when you have two working parents,
you lose that ability to have that loving touch. And
so where you get lost, boys is in a generation
of women that don't see that that important part is
(12:19):
valued and is just as critical by the way as
getting a next promotion or getting a higher pay bump
that you work right, like LinkedIn exists to be able
to cheer someone on in the workplace. That doesn't exist
in a corresponding value to a stay at home mom. Right,
People celebrate you when you have a baby, but there
isn't that same village anymore for when your child has
its first steps, or when you get through a tough day,
(12:41):
or when you cook a really good turkey. You're chicken
at dinner, right, and I'm like, man, I killed it today,
But me killing it today on cooking a really good
dinner doesn't get me the same praise from co workers
because it's like co workers are little children that you know,
getting a killing a presentation or having that next sat
increase get you that same level of praise from our society.
(13:03):
And we should do more to praise moms and to
praise women, because then they would be encouraged to have
a career path that is just raising kids, that is
that same level of value and getting paid more, because
why in our society do we only value paying women more?
Speaker 1 (13:17):
As that's your worst last question for you, Katie, and
we know you're busy. The results on Tuesday, the one
that Buck and I can't get over is Jay Jones
being elected as the chief law enforcement officer of the
state of Virginia after saying that he'd like to see
the kids of his political opponents murdered, that he would
piss on their graves. I mean, truly vile things. What
(13:37):
does it say about the Democrat Party that they would
consider him to still be electable, to elect him and
have him win by six in the wake of what
we already saw happen with President Trump and the wake
of what we certainly have seen happen with Charlie Kirk
to endorse violent ideation like this, That's the one result
that I couldn't get past. You've got young kids, You've
(13:58):
got someone who's in the political or what was your
reaction to that result.
Speaker 2 (14:03):
I have three young children who live in the state
of Virginia, so you can imagine how sad it is
when you see your neighbors vote for somebody who wishes
the equivalent of my children dead. And what you're seeing
here is when partisanship wins out and when Trump's derangeent
syndom wins out over common decency and being in human decency.
(14:24):
What you're seeing also is when you have bad candidates
and bad campaigns that are run in Virginia and you
just have Democrats who blindly support the Democratic candidate. Because
the bottom line is that when I mean, it is
just really sad to see that people who are my neighbors,
both to my left and my right, support somebody who
(14:44):
wishes death upon our family and death upon families who
think like us. I think of Megan McCain, who also
lives in Virginia, and that says that these law enforcement
officers won't stand up for us when people are coming
with that same level of rhetoric and hate and actionable
intelligence that you need as a top law enforcement officer
in Virginia. Why would anyone with children live in Virginia
(15:05):
who think and vote as a Republican. It's a very
scary time to be in our country. It's a very
scary time to be a Republican and I think it
only gets worse before it gets better, and we saw
that with the election of Jay Jones.

News and politics but also a little comic relief Clay
Travis at buck Sexton. Find them on the free iHeartRadio
app or wherever you get your podcast.
Speaker 1 (16:51):
Welcome back in play Travis buck Sexton show. All of
us rolling through the Thursday edition thanks to Katie Miller
who was just with us, and you to check out
her podcast. It is becoming very very influential out there.
And uh look, we got a bunch of people who
want to weigh in variety of different topics. Jonathan in
New Jersey, we asked earlier, why did you not vote?
(17:12):
Did you vote in twenty twenty four Jonathan and the presidential.
Speaker 7 (17:15):
Well, no, I didn't vote that was just because I
wasn't like really registered. But the reason that I didn't
vote now is because although everyone says in seriod that
if everyone would vote to make a difference, but in practicality,
my single vote won't make a difference. So there's no
point in voting.
Speaker 1 (17:30):
So you but you listened to this program, Sorry to
cut you off. You listened to this program and you're
engaged in politics, yet you don't think your vote matters,
so you just decided not to vote.
Speaker 7 (17:39):
Yeah, well, I followed politics more as like a hobby
than I like the thing that people fall sports is
why I followed politics. But I think everyone shold vote.
I just think that my vote won't make a difference
whether I vote or not. If a Canadan doesn't win
by one vote, it won't affect the election. So this
why I'm not going to go out and waste my
time waiting line for an hour to vote if nothing
is going to come out from it.
Speaker 1 (17:56):
Anyways, Well, thanks for the call. I would just encour
reach everybody out there to actually go vote, buck and
you do matter, all right. The smart companies I've gotten
ready for the early online shoppers, Rapid Radios is one
of them, They make modern day walkie talkies that keep
(18:18):
you connected with your family in super helpful ways. Rapid
radios connect to anyone carrying one, no matter where they
are in the US. It could be in Portland, Maine
today talking to someone in Portland, Oregon. They offer in
a nationwide LTE network. As you know, part of your
preparation plan have these radios, distribute them to family members
in different places. That's how my family's able to talk
after Hurricane Helene. It is so critical and day to
(18:40):
day you can use them and they're so convenient. Storms.
Don't wait for the right time. The right time to
prepare is now. Get yourself some rapid radios. A great
gift for the holiday. Rapid Radios dot com use code
radio again, that's Rapid Radios dot com Code Radio for
a great discount. Welcome back in Clay Travis buck Sexton Show.
We appreciate all of you hanging out with us. A
(19:02):
lot of reactions, weighing in, rolling in with people weighing
in on a variety of different topics out there. Let
me just start with this one. Buck, I don't this
is not ideal, but just twenty minutes ago I got
an email from Delta. I'm supposed to fly tomorrow. I
bet a lot of you are going to be getting these.
These are the top stories, by and large on all
the television networks. Dear Clay, Delta is complying with a
(19:26):
federal directive to reduce flights at forty major US airports
starting tomorrow due to air traffic control staffing shortages caused
by the government shutdown. Then they say, hey, your flight
might be impacted. Just make sure you're checking, and they
don't give me any info. So I don't know what
I'm gonna be able to get out of New York.
It's gonna be like escape from New York here. But
(19:47):
I'm imagining that many of you are getting these same emails.
And the headline right now is that United is preemptively
canceling hundreds of flights tomorrow. So I just I want
to mention that I want you guys to be on
top of it. I ideally do not want you guys
to be doing what I potentially am going to have
to do, which is sit around at an airport all day.
(20:09):
Podcast listener matt AA, this is something we've heard from
a lot of people. I want to let him make
the argument then buck and I will react. Maybe some
of you will as well.
Speaker 8 (20:20):
Listen, hey, gentlemen, you may disagree with what I'm about
to say, and that's fine, but the rosy colored picture
of the country that people have been painting, and especially
in conservative media, is so inaccurate. Gas prices are still up,
cost of living is still up, cost of goods is
still up. And I understand we all know who did it,
but we elected Trump to fix it, not to tell
us who did it. And dancing on the graves of
(20:40):
the Democrats prematurely was not the smartest thing to do.
If he doesn't want to become a lame duck in
January twenty twenty seven, he really needs to focus on
domestic issues.
Speaker 1 (20:49):
Now, Okay, So that was Matt podcast listener, Here's what
I would say. Gas prices are actually down compared to
four years ago. Here, I just I think this is
going to be an issue, and I'm open to what
people would say. You can't fix inflation. This is why
(21:09):
inflation is so awful, pernicious and nasty. Once it happens,
it's embedded forever. And I get it. Everything cost way
too much. But Trump doesn't have a magic wand to
suddenly make things cost what they did in twenty nineteen
or twenty eighteen. This is a function of Joe Biden's
(21:29):
awful economic decision making. I didn't live through it, Buck,
You didn't really live through it, at least not to
be able to remember it. Some of you guys may
remember when you had awful inflation from Jimmy Carter. There
were then a two term Ronald Reagan window. Reagan was
not very popular for the first couple of years of
his tenure because he was still dealing with the fallout
(21:53):
of the economy that Jimmy Carter had created. I think
that there is going to be an element of that
for Trump now. I think by this time next year,
by the summer of twenty twenty six, you are going
to see the economy roaring, stock markets at all time high.
Gas prices are at four year lows. The overall rate
of increase in prices has declined, but it's not going
(22:15):
to go back to twenty eighteen or twenty nineteen. And
I think that's what a lot of people in their
minds are expecting to happen. Yes, it's going to be tough.
It turns out when you basically shut down whole sectors
of an economy and print money. There are big problems
from that. Yeah, that is unfortunately what we did to
(22:36):
the tune of six trillion plus two trillion. It was
really like a COVID was like a infusion of eight
or nine trillion dollars of dollars without underlying assets, products,
or value into the system. That's really really bad. And
(22:57):
some of us, like yours truly and Clay truly, I
don't know how I would say that we're telling everybody
this at the time, matter of public record, we both
had shows. You're both saying this, this is crazy, it's
a really bad idea, don't do this, and people didn't listen.
So once those prices go up, once the inflation has
(23:19):
set in, it is very hard to turn things around.
But there are some other there's some structural things that
we deal with right now. And for example, in one
area that I'd say the Mumdani the Mumdani Show, because
it really felt like a show tapped into effectively was
people saying that they have a raw deal. Let's just
(23:42):
say a raw deal for the younger generation. Now, some
of that is whining or whatever, but it's not make
your own coffee and don't eat out avocado toast or whatever.
I mean that stuff is very dismissive and that's not
fair because I mean, look at the price of a home, yeah,
nationwide in America in the last ten years, and look
at what has happened the home price. The amount of
(24:03):
money you have to make before the same home is
basically doubled, and everyone has not gotten one hundred percent race. Yes,
so we know that something structurally within the system. We
have the people pulling the levers. Treasury, Congress, all of
it did things that made it harder for those to
(24:24):
accumulate wealth and then assets to do so. And this
has uh, this is something that's it is a big problem.
And when you add on top of that all these
people who feel like their degrees or not. Oh, do
you guys have this one? I actually sent this in
Alex Karp, who is a uh volanteer palate palatiner. How
(24:48):
did you say, polantier. I don't know polantier. I don't
palatier polantier. I don't how to read. Well, I'm very literic,
but I don't. I don't volunteer to you. Yeah, helier
all right, it's very successful of those like one of
the most wealthy, one of the most valuable companies, like
you know, in the world today. But it's cool whatever.
But so yeah, Palanteer, he's the CEO of it. Guys,
(25:11):
let me know if we if we get it, if
we have it, just because I think it'd be better
to hear it from him. But I think, you know,
he says, one of the big challenges that we've seen
is that people have realized that the degrees that they
were told we're going to be really valuable are not
really valuable, and more hard skills and work experience and
(25:35):
things like that are more valuable in the general marketplace.
And I just think that there's been a there has
been a shift, Clay. When you and I went to school,
it was the idea was you get into a certain
kind of institution. You go there, you have endless options
at your disposal in that field. Right, you're going to
(25:57):
get all these great job offers whatever. But now everyone
has an undergraduate degree in the marketplace that's looking for
these kinds of jobs. It doesn't differentiate you. And people
have all this debt and now they can't afford how's
it like there have been policy mistakes made. I think
this is also where AI is going to come in
(26:17):
in a massive way. A lot of well educated people
during COVID were very cocky and arrogant. What would they
say when people lost their jobs learned to code? The
jobs that many people who are young, white collar professionals
have grown accustomed to being able to get are going
to be the ones that get eliminated first. And so
(26:38):
your plumbers out there, your roofers, these guys that work
with their hands, they're going to actually have more economic
power going forward, which is going to be I think
very interesting to see how it shakes out. Let's get
to a couple more calls. Daniel and Tulsa, Jonathan and
New Jersey called in said he didn't vote because he
didn't think his vote counted.
Speaker 9 (26:59):
What do you say to him, Well, I think I
think he's He's probably right, his own single vote doesn't count.
But when you add him all together, yours mind, you
know his, they they start to make a meal. So
when I was a kid, I used to go fishing
as old man was always there in the neighborhood pond,
(27:20):
and he was always keeping the fish, and I'd catch
a little tiny perch and I'd say do you want it?
And he say, yeah, throw it in the bucket and
I catch another one he'd say. I'd say do you
want it? And he'd say, you need a bean, don't
you like? What are you talking about?
Speaker 1 (27:34):
Man?
Speaker 9 (27:35):
You to bean and nobody eats one bean, but you
had them all together and they make a meal. So
we got to just remember, yes, your single vote might
not sway it, but everybody's together makes a meal. And
that's how we got to change our society back to,
you know, a god fearing republic that is proud to
(27:56):
be who we are.
Speaker 1 (27:58):
I thank you for the call. I just personally, I
want every single person out there listening to us to vote.
I can't imagine sitting around on election day and feeling
like I hadn't been willing to take the bare minimum
time to make my voice heard on an individual level.
And yes, you can sit around and say, well, in general,
how often does the election come down to one vote?
(28:20):
You know, millions of people are saying that, and I
think the answer is regularly. I think I think eventually,
play the fact that you deprive Curtis Leewa of victory
is going to be something that our audience forgives. You
know that your suppression of the SLIWA vote. You know,
so he got seven percent, it would have been seventy
(28:42):
Clay if only you had shown to put on that
red beret. And by the way, we do have polantier ceo,
Alex Karp. I'm sorry, I love that one paleer palatinalanaan ceo.
Maybe maybe there's like a Southern way to say it,
but here's a palenteer ceo, Alex Karp, and he's talking
(29:06):
about exactly what I was just mentioning a moment ago,
about a lot of these young people with these degrees
and how they're feeling play it.
Speaker 5 (29:13):
I think the average you know, ivy league grad voting
for this mayor is highly annoyed that their education is
not that valuable. And the person down the street who
knows how to drill for oil and gas, who's moved
to Texas has a more valuable profession. And I think
that annoys out of these people.
Speaker 1 (29:30):
I think that's true. By the way, I think that
there's a hey, hold on a second, I went to
Bates College, or I went to Hamilton or Amherst or whatever.
I'm just throwing things out whatever the school is. You know,
I went to you know, University of Pennsylvania, uh, and
I have a degree in I should have through in
those blanks. A lot of people in New York City
(29:53):
and other cities are finding out that doesn't matter as
much as you were led to believe by this system.
And that is true, Clay, it is true. No, I
think that's one hundred percent true. And not only that.
And by the way, I'll say, a lot of people
who go to law school, for instance, have these sort
of jarring realities between the world you thought you were
(30:14):
entering in the world you actually enter. I've said this before.
I love law school, but it teaches you how to think,
and you get to debate the most significant issues that
have ever faced the country. And then when you're twenty
five years old, after you've run up a couple hundred
thousand dollars in debt, you get slapped by the cold
heart of reality. You're sitting at a desk clicking through
a variety of different documents on your computer screen for
(30:38):
twelve hours a day. You're not involved in a time
to kill. It's not a few good men. The actual
grind of being a lawyer is very different than the
media portrayal of what lawyerdomb is. I'm gonna tell you something.
The first time in a job, like a job job,
that I had to be in a cubicle and realize
that like this was my home for the next nine
(31:00):
nine and a half hours, had a mini panic attack.
It's like, this sucks. Yeah, I don't want to do that.
Of course it does horrible. I mean, of course it does.
Most jobs are not that much fun. And by the way,
nine and a half hours, I remember sitting in a
law firm office and thinking this could be the next
forty years of my life, like just arguing procedural motions
(31:20):
that I don't really care about for a long time.
And look, the jobs can pay decently, but I think
even those jobs are gonna get eradicated soon. By the way,
let's play this. I like Bob, he has great taste
in radio BB Talk Back BB. If we can, would
(31:41):
be fabulous for us to listen to Hey, Clay going
through excellent words when you were talking about coaching and
you can only control what you can control. I thought
those were outstanding words. Thank you for remind us about that.
There you go. See while they may want to take
me out because I didn't support sleeve one enough. Bob
has got great taste, and you didn't play football, But
(32:03):
would you ever coach to a school that I coached
some flag football? But what I was gonna say is,
if you had, if your profession had to be coach,
which sport would you be the not what you want
to do the most? Would you be the best at coaching? Oh,
that's a great question. I don't think i'd be. Well,
I've coached them all, and I don't think I was
very good. I don't think I was very good at
(32:25):
any of them. But I think probably probably baseball. It
depends on the age, right, because kids today get so
advanced so quickly. It doesn't take that long for kids
to get better at a sport now than if you
didn't play until you were twenty. Kids today, by fourteen
or fifteen are playing at a more advanced level than
(32:47):
you did yourself. But I think it's a good question.
I think I probably know football and basketball and baseball
the best, but I played soccer, so I think I
would probably go I've coached baseball the most, so I
say I coach soccer, and I would say I'd go soccer.
You know why, Clay. You just got to know who
the best players are in the positions, let them do
(33:09):
their thing, and then you get to stand on the
sideline in a fancy European suit and be like. There's
a lot less management in the middle of a soccer
game than there is the other games. Calling plays and
stuff like that is actually pretty difficult. Speaking of calling plays,
here's a play for all of you. It's called price picks.
And this is several different elements here that I want
(33:29):
you guys to be able to take advantage of. These
are all touchdown passes. I am taking every one of
these guys to take a throw a touchdown pass. Buck,
be careful on this one. His name is Michael Pinnix.
That is Pinnix with an X. Very easy to mispronounce
that name. Michael Pennocks more than one half touchdown. It's
(33:50):
a very different bet if you mispronounced that one. Trevor
Lawrence more than one half touchdown pass, Bryce Young more
than one half touchdown pass, Tua more than one half
touchdown pass, Jackson Dart I'm in New York more than
one half touchdown pass, and Marcus Mariota more than one
touchdown pass. That is six different players all to throw
(34:14):
more than one half. That means that they throw one
touchdown pass. This is an ambitious pick that I am making.
But you can play along with us at prizepicks dot
com Code Clay. That is, pricepicks dot com Code Clay
fifty dollars when you play five dollars prize picks dot
com Code Clay.

some days at noon Eastern in the clay in Bug
podcast feed. Find it on the iHeartRadio app or wherever
you get your podcasts. Welcome back in Clay Travis buck
Sexton Show. Should we try to run through as many
of these calls as we can in a relatively short period.
You all have thirty seconds, and we begin with in
(35:00):
Fort Collins, Colorado, Go Fast, Dan did not start us?
Speaker 1 (35:07):
Well? Bye? Dan? John in Michigan, go fast.
Speaker 4 (35:12):
Oh. I just want to say, don't you think the
inflation and all that that was all by design? I mean,
they really want us to be dependent on the government.
Speaker 1 (35:24):
No, thank you for the call. No, I think they're
just morons. I mean I don't even think they're smart
enough to intentionally screw the economy this bad. I think
they just don't understand basic morons. Tearing in Louisville, Kentucky.
What you got?
Speaker 7 (35:37):
All right?
Speaker 10 (35:38):
They need to go ahead and get rid of Philibusher.
The Democrats already tried it, and they would have done
it if ended for mansion and cinema. And they're gone.
There's no more of them. They'll do it the minute
they get.
Speaker 7 (35:48):
Back in office.
Speaker 1 (35:50):
There's an argument for that. We talked about it. Damon
and Colorado. What you got, hellas, listen, do you want
to fix this economy?
Speaker 3 (35:57):
Man?
Speaker 7 (35:57):
The number one driver is diesel fuel. Here and everybody
seeing gas prices are down does not matter.
Speaker 6 (36:04):
Fixed diesel fuel.
Speaker 9 (36:05):
You will change the logistics and the transportation.
Speaker 7 (36:08):
You will, You will impact the economy tomorrow.
Speaker 4 (36:11):
Trum Trump could do this tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (36:14):
Brian in Aurora, Colorado. Mm, hey, Clay and Bucks. This
is Brian from rural Colorado.
Speaker 7 (36:25):
I like that idea of having like a dating center
for Clay and buck listeners for just whatever. That would
be kind of sweet and I think that could happen.
Speaker 1 (36:36):
You can tell you father. I'm a fabulous matchmaker fabulous,
telling you very good at this so we could be honest.
Some Friday edition of the program coming tomorrow. Load up
those talkbacks. We'll see you then
