Speaker 1 (00:00):
Third hour, Clay and Buck kicks off right now. We
got Joe Biden speaking about the hurricane aftermath of Hurricane Milton.
As I was saying the first hour, the tornadoes turned
out to be certainly the most visually shocking thing from it.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
The storm surge does not.
Speaker 1 (00:23):
Seem to be anywhere near what was initially anticipated when
it was at a category five hundred and eighty mile
an hour storm. So that was good news for the
Tampa area. Look, it still still came into a category two.
I think six lives confirmed, lost a lot of property damage.
Scary situation, but not the catastrophic hurricane that was being forecast.
(00:49):
So that's, you know what, We'll take what we can here.
That's better than expected in terms of what could have happened. Helene,
on the other hand, far worse, I believe than anybody
was anticipating. That has taken hundreds of lives, and we're
still hoping that there will be a lot of areas
(01:10):
that get substantially more resources and help rebuilding.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
So Biden speaking about that right now. I think Clay,
it will.
Speaker 1 (01:18):
Be a shorter amount, you know, focusing now on the political,
shorter amount of time spent on this in the in
the final weeks here of the election. Then would have
been the case if this had been a massive you know,
Hurricane Katrina, Hurricane Andrew, what was the huge one in Houston,
(01:39):
Remember the really bad hurricane that had and just dumped
all that water on it. Anyway, some of these hurricanes
that have been massive catastrophes that have lasted for four
weeks on end.
Speaker 2 (01:49):
Was it Harvey? If it was Harvey?
Speaker 3 (01:50):
Right?
Speaker 2 (01:51):
Anyway, we are.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
Following this looking at this still and the only real
political back and forth on it has been Kamala Harris
making a mess of things and I think just creating
a negative news cycle for herself for no reason. It's
remarkable that she thought it was a good idea to
go out there. One thing I did want to point out, Clay,
(02:18):
you may have seen and I tweeted about this Bill Nye,
the science guy. They trot this guy out there. He's
a little bit like Greta Thunberg. He has no particular
expertise of any kind when it comes to climate, when
it comes to natural sciences. The guy has an undergraduate
degree in mechanical engineering from Cornell. Okay, so there you
(02:44):
have it. But he dresses like a nerd, so we're
supposed to think that he knows about this stuff. The
level of desperation to politicize these weather events, which is
what they are, is something that I guess it never
ceases to amaze me. Level this has cut six The
science guy, like I said, just because he like where's
(03:05):
a lab code and nerdy glasses, you're supposed to say, oh,
this guy must know a lot about the science, says.
If you want to stop hurricanes, vote for Kamala. Play
it the other side, as we often call it.
Speaker 4 (03:16):
This plan has no plans to address climate change, no
plans for long term dealing with these sorts of problems.
If you have young voters out there, encourage them to vote.
People say what can I do about climate change? If
we were talking about it associating it with big storms
(03:37):
like this, that would be really good.
Speaker 1 (03:38):
But the main thing is vote Clay. I just want
to note you know you've told me about some of
the political betting that has been legal. One of the
things that gets me excited about that is I want
to start being able to place bets versus the climate
change community. They're always wrong. They are always wrong. Everything
they say is untrue. Every prediction that have is incorrect,
(04:01):
They're not sometimes there are one hundred. Their record is
untarnished at perfection in wrongness. Even if you believe what
they believe, which is insane, which is that the world
is going to end and we're gonna have nothing but
hurricane events and all these terrible things, even if you
believe it, their plans or the Kamala Harris plans would
do nothing. It would all do nothing to address the
(04:23):
imaginary challenge that they think we face.
Speaker 5 (04:27):
Not only that, I would just like for someone to
push back against Bill Nay sometimes and point this fact out.
Warming of the planet actually makes people less likely to die.
That is, extreme cold kills far more people than extreme
(04:48):
heat does. Have you seen these studies that no one
will even talk about. We're actually if you are convinced
that the climate is going to kill you, a warming
planet actually makes you safer as a human than a
cooling climate does. And whatever you think of the world,
(05:08):
what really bothers me about about the climate catastrophists buck
is these people are so convinced that the world is
in danger from climate change that a lot of them
have decided they don't want to have families, They don't
want to have kids. What is your living for goal
if you're not having kids, if you believe the world's
(05:30):
going to end. And don't even get me started on
all of the climate catastrophists who continue to take private
jets all over the world that are emitting unbelievable amounts
of pollution and greenhouse gases and everything else. They care
so much about the fate of the planet, but not
enough to have to fly on a commercial airline. It's
(05:51):
just like that that is a step too far in
their own personal life. That these people just are mentally unstable.
And I think you said, and I think this is true.
Climate change is a religion for people who think that
religion is not worth having.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
Yes, this is it is purely now religious in nature
it is. It is a faith based tradition, not a
science or evidence based tradition. I'm out here in la
where I know that there's an obsession with this. I
think this is probably this is the Vatican City of
climate change. Out here is this is the mecca of
climate change. This is where you know, this is where
it all all focuses in on that they're going to
(06:28):
all switch to evs and this stuff, all these all
this legislation, all of it will be abandoned, amended. You
look at the what was it, the Paris Climate Climate Agreement.
None of the European countries are actually hitting those targets,
and the whole thing is a scam. It's but some
people become so rich on it. I mean I almost
respect the hustle if I didn't despise what they were
(06:49):
doing to the economy into people's freedom so much, it's
amazing with people like al Gore, The the before Fauci
is certainly the biggest science phony in history, or at
least in my lifetime.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
Al Gore again, another guy who what does he know about.
Speaker 3 (07:04):
Any of this?
Speaker 6 (07:04):
Oh I like to give speeches about climate change. The
guy knows nothing. It is absurd. Greta Thunberg was a
sixteen year old girl who CNN was sitting down with, like, oh,
tell us about what's going to happen unless we change
trillions of dollars of economic output to fit your little
childish fantasy here about how the world can all run
(07:26):
on green?
Speaker 1 (07:27):
And they taught her, they treated her seriously, that's a
sixteen year old girl.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
One of it is worship a toddler.
Speaker 1 (07:33):
Why don't we have a climate change toddler who is like,
you know, the little mini Dali Lama of climate change
and just go all in on this madness. People should
be ashamed of their stupidity that they keep believing this stuff.
This is one of those ones where I will dig
in against anybody. And I know in La you get
a lot of this stuff. On the coast, you get
a lot of this stuff clay. But it's funny because
(07:55):
they say, like, oh, the Trump campaign is politicizing the hurricane.
The Democrats are saying, if we don't all start, you know,
putting solar panels on our houses and taking bicycles everywhere,
we're not taking it. This is absurd.
Speaker 5 (08:09):
Look, I'm gonna be in Ashville tomorrow doing our show.
The reality is I wish we would have conversations about
how to help people who have been harmed by these
storms instead of trying to argue, like Bill n I did, Oh,
this is all a function.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
Of global warming.
Speaker 5 (08:27):
The data actually reflects, and I know people don't want
to talk about data. I believe the deadliest and most
destructive decade of hurricanes in the State of Florida's history
modern history that we can measure, Buck, was the nineteen forties.
And you guys out there that are experts on hurricanes
can let me know if I've got this wrong. But
(08:49):
I enjoy reading just to try to make myself more
intelligent about a variety of subjects. They can't explain why
the nineteen forties, long before we would have ever thought
about global warming, was so incredibly destructive to Florida. And
I think the reality is that there are just weather
(09:10):
events that we are more aware of than we ever
have been before. And Buck, the reality of this is
also what were you watching last night? I was watching
the Weather Channel. I put on the Weather Channel because
I wanted to know what Milton's impact was gonna be.
I was watching Major League Baseball flipping back and forth.
And we as humans are innately drawn to weather related
(09:34):
phenomena and events. The media has become certainly aware of
that because they look at ratings, and that's why they
send everybody to stand in the water and stand in
the wind, because we can't look away because it is
in some ways enticing and exciting to see weather related
events on television. This is, by the way, not just
(09:55):
hurricanes or snowstorms. Or anything else. Do you know what
drives ratings in football?
Speaker 2 (10:02):
Buck? Snow.
Speaker 5 (10:04):
If they have snow games, people can't turn it off.
The more snow that falls during a football game, the
more people watch. It's captivating in some way to be
able to see. And I got a little bit of
a funny clip because I know Hurricane Milton is very
serious and we're wishing everybody the best. And I'm going
to be a middle of Hurricane Helene tomorrow. I'm going
to be at our Asheville affiliate. I cannot wait. I
(10:25):
will be flying over a helicopter seeing everything. I'll be
able to hopefully raise money. We're doing that Friday night
in Knoxville for everybody out there that is struggling. But
I was watching last night and I know our guys
grabbed it. We talked sports analogies. Sometimes one of these
weather forecast guys gave a analogy to what he thought
(10:48):
the second half of the storm was going to be like.
And unfortunately, if you were an Atlanta Falcons fan, you
just got absolutely wiped out. This is cut eight buck.
You can gape sports. I don't know if you saw this,
but I was watching this live last night on the
Weather Channel when it happened.
Speaker 7 (11:05):
We definitely enjoyed the little halftime show that both the
nature gave us inside Milton. But now we got the
second half, and you know, I gotta remind everyone you
might still be in the eye right now.
Speaker 2 (11:15):
There's a lot more to go.
Speaker 7 (11:16):
I think back to, you know, the Atlanta Falcons first
half Super Bowl winner. We know what happened to the
second half when the Patriots came back to life.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
So do not sleep on the second half of Milton.
Speaker 5 (11:28):
The second half of Milton buck for you. You need
a sports translation there. The Falcons were up twenty eight
three on Tom Brady and the Patriots. They ended up losing.
And I was just thinking to myself as I'm watching
the hurricane, some poor Atlanta Falcons fan hadn't been thinking
about that game for a long time.
Speaker 2 (11:43):
And then boom.
Speaker 5 (11:43):
The meteorologist uses it as an analogy to illustrate how
things can change in the second half of the storm
can be dangerous but positive. In the midst of all this,
it seems like the damage so far from Milton is
not the Category five monstrosity that everybody was afraid of,
and that it seems like Florida Rohn DeSantis. Everybody else
(12:05):
is gonna be able to recover, hopefully sooner rather than later.

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 podcasts.
Speaker 5 (13:58):
Welcome back in Clay Travis Sexton Show. Let's take some
of your calls. As we are rolling through the Thursday
edition of the program, VIP listener Linda says, I have
a very good friend in PA. Low information voter bought
the lies, but she trusts me. Little by little. I've
convinced her that although Trump isn't perfect, it will be
(14:19):
best for the country to vote for him.
Speaker 1 (14:21):
But she trusts you, she don't trust me. What's going on.
Speaker 5 (14:26):
I see that he has done a good job out
there convincing others to support candidate that I think and
you think, will be better than Kamala by far. Tim
in Bowling Green, Kentucky. Bowling Green is a nice area
just north of me here in Nashville. What you got
for us?
Speaker 3 (14:44):
Cats? Hey, why I'm feeling down a little bit? I'd
like to do. I like to go ahead and watch
the Cavs center back back in twenty sixteen when Trump
won ALTUS Democrats crime and.
Speaker 5 (14:59):
Yes, yeah, I have a little bit of a rough
signal there, Buck for people who couldn't hear. He said
he likes to watch the Hillary the post election night
party when everybody collapsed. He also said, go Cats, Wildcats, Kentucky.
Let me hit you at this Buck. You grew up
in New York City. Trump is setting up to have
(15:21):
a rally in Madison Square Garden, and we have a
lot of listeners on w o R. I bet a
lot of those people will come in. Certainly Trump has
had big rallies on Long Island, New Jersey, but this
is the and he had some around the trial earlier
this year.
Speaker 1 (15:38):
I mean that the Trump rally in Madison Square Garden,
Manhattan is actually going to be the Trump Long Islands,
Staten Island, some parts of far out Brooklyn, Northern New
Jersey rally. I'm just saying that that's where most of
most of the folks there are going to come from,
because that's where we get our red sanity, if you will,
in the Tri state area.
Speaker 2 (15:58):
All right, I want to hit you at this.
Speaker 5 (16:00):
This is a state senator, State senator in New York
who represents this area of Manhattan. He tweeted recently Buck
in the last twenty four hours, I've confirmed with Madison
Square Garden they signed an agreement with Trump to hold
a rally on October twenty seventh at three pm at
Madison Square Garden, which is in my senate district. Let's
(16:22):
be clear, allowing Trump to hold an event at Madison
Square Garden is equivalent to the infamous Nazis rally at
Madison Square Garden on February twentieth, nineteen thirty nine. This
is a disastrous decision by Madison Square Garden that will
endanger the public safety of New Yorkers and has the
potential to incite widespread violence. For the good of New
(16:45):
York City and its residents, I demand Madison Square Garden
keep our city safe by canceling the Trump rally.
Speaker 2 (16:53):
This is real.
Speaker 5 (16:54):
This is not like some crazy person who's not actually elected.
I think it is a crazy person, but this is
a state senator from Manhattan.
Speaker 1 (17:04):
Also, I would just say that Trump is like Hitler
in the Nazis. Yes, he was already president, we had
a booming economy. What is like, It's just crazy, Clay,
It's insane. It would be like me telling you that
they need to fire the starting quarterback of the Kansas
City Chiefs and replace him with me. I mean, I
(17:25):
don't lack for confidence, but that's an insane thing to say.
What can you say to people who say that Donald
Trump is somehow you know, the guy from The Apprentice,
who's a billionaire who's been a New York and global
developer for you know, fifty some odd years now, is
like Hitler? What is the Hitler stuff? Hitler started a
(17:47):
war that killed forty to fifty million, Maybe sixty million people,
and he's like, Hitler, like, what do you even say
to people that say this?
Speaker 5 (17:57):
They bought into these lies, and honestly, these are the
lies that have motivated, in my opinion, people to be
so willing to kill Trump. These people are broken, their
brains are broken. Yes, cyber hackers out there hide behind
their computer keyboards, working all day to hack into a
computer's company's computer system to steal their data. When they
score a data breach field day for them, they suddenly
(18:19):
have access to your name. Maybe you're so security number,
your address. It's enough info for them to pretend to
be you online. Once they do that, they can make
purchases in your name without you knowing, and some of
them are even able to access your bank accounts and
drain it. Defend yourself from stolen identity and the financial
losses with Lifelock's help. If you want to get hooked

Cleave Travis, and Buck Sexton on the front lines of truth.
Speaker 1 (18:56):
Welcome back in you know clam out here in LA
and one of the great things is you're reminded when
you're in California. Uh, we have so many listeners in California.
Oh yeah, someone come up with me. Yeah, it's I actually,
uh my one of my one of my driver uber
drivers here having a conversation. He's like I was talking
to him and I was just kind of be low key,
and at one point I said something. He's just like,
(19:16):
you know, I listened to you every day for three hours.
I was like, I was not aware of that, sir,
but thank you. So I was appreciate that. I was like, yeah,
you know, He's like, what do you think of what's
going on overseas? I was like, you know, I got
some ideas. I'm just kind of like a little nonchalant.
He's like, buck, I listened you for three hours a day.
You never stopped talking.
Speaker 2 (19:34):
Why don't you?
Speaker 1 (19:34):
And I was like, oh, okay, Well, we have a lot.
There's a lot of Republicans in California and in the
LA area. You know, you just you get because they're
out you know, they're outvoted by the Democrat blob. I
think it's sometimes easy to forget that. It's also easy,
well not easy to forget because I couldn't bring it
with me. Well I guess I could. Maybe I'll figure
(19:55):
it out. Clay, I don't have my Crocket Coffee with me.

in California. One of my favorite stats that blows people's minds.
More people voted for Trump in twenty twenty in California
(21:17):
than in Texas. It blows people's mind. It's a function
of the population and just how many people live in California.
But you tend in your head to think, oh, Texas,
that is diehard Trump territory. I think many people do,
especially if you don't live in Texas, and you think
of California to Bucks point as this sort of blue wasteland.
(21:40):
But there's actually huge percentages of Trump voters there are,
such that more people in twenty twenty voted for Trump
in California than voted for Trump in Texas. And Trump
is going to be doing a rally soon in California
as well. We just mentioned the rally in y and
I know there's people out there, and if you live
(22:02):
in New York, you live in California and you're listening
to us, and you are a big Trump supporter, that
might well be where the House is going to be decided,
just like it was in twenty twenty two. So we
talk a lot about the Senate. You heard us talking
with Dave McCormick in Pennsylvania earlier. We talk a lot
about the certainly national presidential campaign. But Trump doing rallies
(22:26):
in New York and California I think is based on
two different things.
Speaker 2 (22:30):
Buck.
Speaker 5 (22:30):
One, he recognizes those are the battlegrounds they want to
drive up Republican turnout because he wants to hit for
the cycle. He wants to get the to get all
three the House, the Senate, and the Presidency and have
them all in Republican control. But Buck, I also think
there is an optimistic scenario out there where the Trump
(22:54):
team believes that they may be able to contend to
win the outright popular vote, and that is right now,
he's an underdog about seventy thirty. Kamala's favored to win
the popular vote, but if they can drive up that
turnout you were talking about it earlier in New York
and California in a way where Kamala's margins are severely
(23:18):
diminished there, And if they can run up the scoreboard
in a lot of red states, which I think they are,
He's gonna win my home state, for instance, Tennessee by
twenty year down in Florida, buck, I mean to me,
that's going to be one of the most interesting things
on election night is to see what you think.
Speaker 2 (23:31):
He's gonna Winlida. I think I think Trump wins Florida
double digits.
Speaker 1 (23:34):
I think I'll win by ten or more, which is
a lot for Florida for what used to be Remember
two thousand and me, it was we might win by
one hundred votes. You know, we're the hanging chads and
the and the dimpled chads and the stuff. And now
it's Trump's gonna win by I mean, I think eight
is a pretty is a pretty reasonable bet to make.
I think it's I think Trump could win Florida by
(23:55):
ten points. Maybe maybe I'm overly optimistic, but to your point,
and even if it's only eight, Buck, let's say your
margin of eight is accurate. If Trump wins Florida by eight,
he's winning Georgia, and Georgia is not going to be
a white knuckler style race. And if Trump wins Georgia comfortably,
(24:16):
I think he's gonna win North Carolina comfortably. And again
the math here, and we're going to keep hammering this.
Speaker 5 (24:21):
Home, Go vote, go vote early. The math here is
not complicated. If Trump wins Georgia, if he wins North Carolina,
and he wins Pennsylvania, he's the president. Now, it'd still
be nice to win Arizona, which I think he's going
to do. Nevada is right there at the margin toss
up both elections sixteen and twenty, it was super close. Michigan,
Trump's looking good, Wisconsin, Trump is looking good. But the
(24:44):
easy math there, Buck, is you don't even have to worry.
If Trump wins North Carolina, Georgia, and Pennsylvania, he's going
to be president. And then it's just a question of
how many states is he going to add on to
that one?
Speaker 1 (24:58):
With the election looming obviously two hurricanes now having hit hard,
and the aftermath of it. There's a lot going on.
We didn't even get to this. This is cut twenty one.
Some data came out on the economy that's also not
what we wanted to hear. I mean, I mean, the
American people not where we want things to be right now.
Inflation hotter than anticipated. This is over at Bloomberg. They
(25:22):
had to report this one today. Not good for the
people in charge running the show. Play twenty one.
Speaker 9 (25:27):
All right, let's take a look at CPI comes in
a little bit hotter than anticipated, up two tens of
ve percent, same as last month. Forecast was for one tenth.
The core comes in up three tenths. That is also
a little bit hotter than two tenths was the belief.
Three tenths was what we saw in August.
Speaker 2 (25:46):
The year every year.
Speaker 9 (25:47):
Numbers two point four percent for the headline not as
good as anticipated, and for the core three point three
percent not as good as anticipated.
Speaker 2 (25:57):
Clay, here's the thing.
Speaker 1 (26:00):
If the Biden economy was strong and people thought it
was as reflected in the polling and the public sentiment
across the country, what would commonly be out there saying,
four more years of the Biden economy. I am the
steward of the Biden economy. I am the continuation, the
two point zero, the younger, fresher, better version of the
(26:23):
Biden economy is what will be presented to you under
a Harris administration. Why isn't she saying that, Well, it's
quite obvious because it's not the economy that is going
to win them the election. It has not been a
record of any real achievement. There's nothing. The only thing
that they all will talk about is the what is
(26:44):
it like the Reduced Inflation Act or whatever they call it,
which was an inflation reduction Act, which was inflationary and
really had nothing to do with reducing inflation in the
first place, right, I mean, the actual effect was probably
made it a little worse, and it certainly didn't reduce inflation.
They've made everything more expensive for everybody, and what is
(27:04):
the victory that they can point to? I mean, I
think it's funny too. They want to attack Trump on
China and trade. You know why they're having a tough
time with that because people that have been paying attention, say,
hold on a second, you left tariffs in place from
Trump yes, you the tariffs are such a dumb idea. Well,
the Trump tariffs are so bad that Joe Biden comes
in and with all of his advisers and all of
(27:25):
his men and women doing whatever they're doing for this administration,
they keep the Trump tariffs. Hmm. Interesting, no doubt.
Speaker 5 (27:33):
And I think that's why Kamala is not a skilled politician.
But she's also rhetorically weak, and that is a bad combination.
She hasn't been able to answer these questions and they
just keep bedeviling her. And I don't see how it's
gonna get any better for her because now she's in
the panic phase and she's having to do all these
(27:55):
media interviews to try to change the trajectory. And unfortunately
for her, I think it's just reminding lots of people
why they were not impressed and did not like her
in the first place. All right, Thursday night football, Buck,
You know what that means. It's time for winners. Prizepicks
dot Com. My name Clay. You play five dollars, you
(28:16):
get fifty dollars guaranteed. You can do it in the
state where Buck is right now, California.
Speaker 2 (28:22):
You can do it. In Texas. You can do it
in Georgia. You can do it in Florida.
Speaker 5 (28:27):
If you're feeling left out, prizepicks dot com.
Speaker 2 (28:30):
My name Clay.
Speaker 5 (28:31):
All you have to do is pick more or less
on a variety of different players. And I've got tonight's game.
Seattle Seahawks hosting San Francisco forty nine Ers West Coast Game.
Here we go, Buck Gino. I think it's gonna be
a high scoring game. I think it's gonna be a
fun game. Lots of points. Gino Smith, quarterback for the Seahawks,
more than two hundred and fifty and a half passing yards.
Speaker 1 (28:55):
We gotta get this. I gotta know, so pass your
I'm going to pass yard pass. Some of the people
are new to this, like me. We go to passyards.
We find Gino's okay, match more more.
Speaker 5 (29:05):
Than two hundred and fifty and a half. Rock Party,
he is the quarterback passing yards more than two hundred
and fifty three and a half. In other words, I
think both quarterbacks are going to have a good game.
I think they're going to go up and down the field.
In particular, I like the forty nine ers to make
plays in the passing game. I'm going with Deebo Samuel
(29:26):
more than fifty five and a half receiving yards. He
is a top wide receiver for the San Francisco forty
nine ers. George Kittle is their tight end. I think
he goes for more than fifty and a half passing
yards receiving yards as well. So two on passing yards
quarterbacks tonight, Gino Smith, brock Purty wide receiver and tight
(29:47):
end both more on receiving yards. If I'm right, that
pays off at ten to one. If you're listening right now,
and I know some of you actually do think that
I'm a more on buck, you can go the exact
the opposite, and if I'm wrong on everything, you also
get ten to one.
Speaker 2 (30:04):
But of course I'm gonna be right ten to one.
Speaker 1 (30:06):
I've just realized I've got this all lined up, by
the way now, So I've got more on brock Purty,
thank you for slowing it down for me, More on
Geno Smith. I've got the receiving receiving yards also locked in.
More on Deebo Samuel. But I've realized, Clay, as I'm
looking at this, as I am becoming familiar with prize picks,
the next presidential uh, the next presidential bet we have,
(30:27):
you're gonna have to grow your hair out like Trevor
Lawrence if you lose. Okay, I want Clay to go
full Trevor Lawrence. As I'm seeing this, I used to
have hair like that back in high school. There are
some pictures of me circulating around. In fact, my wife's
background picture on her phone is my senior class photo
from high school when my hair was I like, think
(30:49):
it look great. My boys refer to it as a
pyramid style haircut, that I look like the Great Sphinx
in the way that my.
Speaker 2 (30:58):
Hair was set up. They also regularly mock me.
Speaker 5 (31:02):
But don't mock me. Go to prizepicks dot com. Use
code Clay fifty dollars when you play four winners right
there for you. If you're right ten to one, payout.
Have some fun at pricepicks dot com.
Speaker 8 (31:14):
Sometimes all you can do is laugh, and they do
a lot of it with the Sunday Hang.
Speaker 2 (31:20):
Join Clay and Buck as they laugh it up in the.
Speaker 8 (31:23):
Clay and Buck podcast feed on the iHeartRadio app or
wherever you get your podcasts.
Speaker 5 (31:28):
Welcome back in Clay Travis Buck Sexton Show.
Speaker 2 (31:31):
Appreciate all of.
Speaker 5 (31:32):
You hanging out with us if you're coming down the
closing stretch here Thursday edition of the program. I will
be in Asheville, North Carolina tomorrow. We'll be on the
exact opposite sides of the country. Officially, Buck will be
in La getting ready for Bill Maher and I am
telling you right now, Buck, I'm also about to fly
(31:52):
out to Jackson, Tennessee to be with Marsha Blackburn on
XX Day. That is a day that they have brand
did Riley Gaines End Company the Females ten ten double
X Day. Women's sports should only be made up of women.
I can't believe that that is a real thing, but
it is a necessary battle that needs.
Speaker 2 (32:11):
To be fought.
Speaker 5 (32:12):
And then tonight, Buck, I'm doing Adam Carolla, our buddy.
I'll be at Zany's, which is a comedy place, with
him as his guest at nine pm tonight. And if
you are in the Nashville area and you're a fan
of Adam Corolla or you want to come by and
see me, we'll be there I think from like nine
to ten doing his live podcast.
Speaker 1 (32:33):
You doing stand up, we need video of it and
it has to be posted on the side I'm just saying,
even if it's a little short, if you do a
little intro bit or something, Clay up there, like, Hey,
I just flew in from Nashville, and boy, are my
arm's tired?
Speaker 2 (32:46):
You know, I want to.
Speaker 5 (32:46):
See you know, years ago, Buck, we had a comedy
We just have a lot of comedians on the sports
talk radio show that I did, and he was on
and he was like, there's nothing tougher in the world
than stand up comedy. And I was like, Eh, you know,
I don't think. I mean, look, I appreciate people who
are comedians. As a performance.
Speaker 1 (33:05):
I think it is the most specific skill set and
you take the highest risk of bombing.
Speaker 2 (33:11):
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (33:12):
Yeah, as a as a performer, whether you're talking about
you know, public speaking, debating things like that, in that
realm acting. I know you say you can't act. I
don't know, man, I know a lot of dumb actors.
I think I could probably pull it off, especially if
we get to take a lot of you know, second takes.
But yeah, stand up is tough. We stink, you really stink.
Speaker 2 (33:35):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (33:35):
But my argument on stand up is you basically do
the same routine. So once you Yes, developing the routine
can be tough because you don't know what the crowd's
going to respond to. But once you have a little
bit of a routine, I don't.
Speaker 2 (33:48):
Think it's that tough.
Speaker 5 (33:49):
So Buck, I did live at Zany several years ago,
two hours, no note, stand up and went what yes,
completely like three or four years ago. There is audio
of it somewhere out there, like I just went out
and I thought I killed.
Speaker 1 (34:08):
I thought I killed Laura, my wife. And I'm not
surprised that you thought you killed but I am. I
am impressed that you did this. I mean, we sold
out the place and uh.
Speaker 5 (34:18):
And basically it was just me walking around with a
mike talking about all the things that exists in the world.
Speaker 2 (34:23):
My point on it is, and if you told me,
and I mean this.
Speaker 5 (34:29):
You told me Clay, your only job is you need
to come up with one hour of really good material
and you get six months to work on it, and
then you can just go do that same material over
and over and over again. We have to do every
day reacting to different things, which to me is way
more challenging, which is what I was telling the commedy
(34:50):
A lot of stand ups and I've done some shows
where there have been set up comedians there who are
actually not very good on their feet, which I find
there's always a thing of stand up to.
Speaker 1 (34:58):
So some of them are. I mean, like I'll full
credit Bill Maher is good on his feet, Like he's good.
He's been doing this a long time.
Speaker 2 (35:03):
He knows how he could show without you have to
react to what people say.
Speaker 1 (35:08):
I have been And it also makes somebody much harder
debate right, because you think you're you think you're angling
in on the point if they just have a line
that's particularly funny, even if they should be conceding the
point right. So debating comedians is not an easy not
an easy game. But I think when people say stand up,
including myself, is so hard. I'm talking about the first
time you do it, like the first time you get
(35:28):
up there. Yeah, if you've been seasoned at it. Look
the number one the most common fear people have is
public speaking, which I said there people always ask me,
I know the same thing with you, They like, when
you first started doing this stuff, did you get nervous?
And I have to look at the ey and just
be like, no, why why I'm just talking? Why would
I be nervous about talking. It is the most common
fear across all the polls they do about this stuff,
(35:49):
even more so than spiders, which I think is crazy
because spiders are scary.
Speaker 3 (35:53):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (35:53):
Given credit to a comedian, Seinfeld had a great bit
back in the day, Buck where he would say the
two biggest fear in life are public speaking in death
and public speaking is one. So if you had to choose,
and I'm paraphrasing the Seinfeld bit, whether to be the
person in the casket or the person delivering the eulogy
for the person in the casket, most people are more
(36:14):
afraid of talking than they are dying, which is talking
in front of a crowd. So I'll be talking in
front of a crowd with Adam Crowl tonight. We'll see
how I can do. You guys can tell me if
I'm awful. Tomorrow I'll be in Asheville. Buck will be
out in LA and this afternoon I'll be with Marsha Blackburn,
next current and soon to be re elected senator. Busy
days all around raising money tomorrow for Hurricane Helene victims.
(36:37):
We appreciate all of you. Best to everybody recovering from
Milton Will update you on how that has gone. Buck,
be safe out in LA and we'll be back tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (36:48):
Shit,
Third hour, Clay and Buck kicks off right now. We
got Joe Biden speaking about the hurricane aftermath of Hurricane Milton.
As I was saying the first hour, the tornadoes turned
out to be certainly the most visually shocking thing from it.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
The storm surge does not.
Speaker 1 (00:23):
Seem to be anywhere near what was initially anticipated when
it was at a category five hundred and eighty mile
an hour storm. So that was good news for the
Tampa area. Look, it still still came into a category two.
I think six lives confirmed, lost a lot of property damage.
Scary situation, but not the catastrophic hurricane that was being forecast.
(00:49):
So that's, you know what, We'll take what we can here.
That's better than expected in terms of what could have happened. Helene,
on the other hand, far worse, I believe than anybody
was anticipating. That has taken hundreds of lives, and we're
still hoping that there will be a lot of areas
(01:10):
that get substantially more resources and help rebuilding.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
So Biden speaking about that right now. I think Clay,
it will.
Speaker 1 (01:18):
Be a shorter amount, you know, focusing now on the political,
shorter amount of time spent on this in the in
the final weeks here of the election. Then would have
been the case if this had been a massive you know,
Hurricane Katrina, Hurricane Andrew, what was the huge one in Houston,
(01:39):
Remember the really bad hurricane that had and just dumped
all that water on it. Anyway, some of these hurricanes
that have been massive catastrophes that have lasted for four
weeks on end.
Speaker 2 (01:49):
Was it Harvey? If it was Harvey?
Speaker 3 (01:50):
Right?
Speaker 2 (01:51):
Anyway, we are.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
Following this looking at this still and the only real
political back and forth on it has been Kamala Harris
making a mess of things and I think just creating
a negative news cycle for herself for no reason. It's
remarkable that she thought it was a good idea to
go out there. One thing I did want to point out, Clay,
(02:18):
you may have seen and I tweeted about this Bill Nye,
the science guy. They trot this guy out there. He's
a little bit like Greta Thunberg. He has no particular
expertise of any kind when it comes to climate, when
it comes to natural sciences. The guy has an undergraduate
degree in mechanical engineering from Cornell. Okay, so there you
(02:44):
have it. But he dresses like a nerd, so we're
supposed to think that he knows about this stuff. The
level of desperation to politicize these weather events, which is
what they are, is something that I guess it never
ceases to amaze me. Level this has cut six The
science guy, like I said, just because he like where's
(03:05):
a lab code and nerdy glasses, you're supposed to say, oh,
this guy must know a lot about the science, says.
If you want to stop hurricanes, vote for Kamala. Play
it the other side, as we often call it.
Speaker 4 (03:16):
This plan has no plans to address climate change, no
plans for long term dealing with these sorts of problems.
If you have young voters out there, encourage them to vote.
People say what can I do about climate change? If
we were talking about it associating it with big storms
(03:37):
like this, that would be really good.
Speaker 1 (03:38):
But the main thing is vote Clay. I just want
to note you know you've told me about some of
the political betting that has been legal. One of the
things that gets me excited about that is I want
to start being able to place bets versus the climate
change community. They're always wrong. They are always wrong. Everything
they say is untrue. Every prediction that have is incorrect,
(04:01):
They're not sometimes there are one hundred. Their record is
untarnished at perfection in wrongness. Even if you believe what
they believe, which is insane, which is that the world
is going to end and we're gonna have nothing but
hurricane events and all these terrible things, even if you
believe it, their plans or the Kamala Harris plans would
do nothing. It would all do nothing to address the
(04:23):
imaginary challenge that they think we face.
Speaker 5 (04:27):
Not only that, I would just like for someone to
push back against Bill Nay sometimes and point this fact out.
Warming of the planet actually makes people less likely to die.
That is, extreme cold kills far more people than extreme
(04:48):
heat does. Have you seen these studies that no one
will even talk about. We're actually if you are convinced
that the climate is going to kill you, a warming
planet actually makes you safer as a human than a
cooling climate does. And whatever you think of the world,
(05:08):
what really bothers me about about the climate catastrophists buck
is these people are so convinced that the world is
in danger from climate change that a lot of them
have decided they don't want to have families, They don't
want to have kids. What is your living for goal
if you're not having kids, if you believe the world's
(05:30):
going to end. And don't even get me started on
all of the climate catastrophists who continue to take private
jets all over the world that are emitting unbelievable amounts
of pollution and greenhouse gases and everything else. They care
so much about the fate of the planet, but not
enough to have to fly on a commercial airline. It's
(05:51):
just like that that is a step too far in
their own personal life. That these people just are mentally unstable.
And I think you said, and I think this is true.
Climate change is a religion for people who think that
religion is not worth having.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
Yes, this is it is purely now religious in nature
it is. It is a faith based tradition, not a
science or evidence based tradition. I'm out here in la
where I know that there's an obsession with this. I
think this is probably this is the Vatican City of
climate change. Out here is this is the mecca of
climate change. This is where you know, this is where
it all all focuses in on that they're going to
(06:28):
all switch to evs and this stuff, all these all
this legislation, all of it will be abandoned, amended. You
look at the what was it, the Paris Climate Climate Agreement.
None of the European countries are actually hitting those targets,
and the whole thing is a scam. It's but some
people become so rich on it. I mean I almost
respect the hustle if I didn't despise what they were
(06:49):
doing to the economy into people's freedom so much, it's
amazing with people like al Gore, The the before Fauci
is certainly the biggest science phony in history, or at
least in my lifetime.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
Al Gore again, another guy who what does he know about.
Speaker 3 (07:04):
Any of this?
Speaker 6 (07:04):
Oh I like to give speeches about climate change. The
guy knows nothing. It is absurd. Greta Thunberg was a
sixteen year old girl who CNN was sitting down with, like, oh,
tell us about what's going to happen unless we change
trillions of dollars of economic output to fit your little
childish fantasy here about how the world can all run
(07:26):
on green?
Speaker 1 (07:27):
And they taught her, they treated her seriously, that's a
sixteen year old girl.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
One of it is worship a toddler.
Speaker 1 (07:33):
Why don't we have a climate change toddler who is like,
you know, the little mini Dali Lama of climate change
and just go all in on this madness. People should
be ashamed of their stupidity that they keep believing this stuff.
This is one of those ones where I will dig
in against anybody. And I know in La you get
a lot of this stuff. On the coast, you get
a lot of this stuff clay. But it's funny because
(07:55):
they say, like, oh, the Trump campaign is politicizing the hurricane.
The Democrats are saying, if we don't all start, you know,
putting solar panels on our houses and taking bicycles everywhere,
we're not taking it. This is absurd.
Speaker 5 (08:09):
Look, I'm gonna be in Ashville tomorrow doing our show.
The reality is I wish we would have conversations about
how to help people who have been harmed by these
storms instead of trying to argue, like Bill n I did, Oh,
this is all a function.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
Of global warming.
Speaker 5 (08:27):
The data actually reflects, and I know people don't want
to talk about data. I believe the deadliest and most
destructive decade of hurricanes in the State of Florida's history
modern history that we can measure, Buck, was the nineteen forties.
And you guys out there that are experts on hurricanes
can let me know if I've got this wrong. But
(08:49):
I enjoy reading just to try to make myself more
intelligent about a variety of subjects. They can't explain why
the nineteen forties, long before we would have ever thought
about global warming, was so incredibly destructive to Florida. And
I think the reality is that there are just weather
(09:10):
events that we are more aware of than we ever
have been before. And Buck, the reality of this is
also what were you watching last night? I was watching
the Weather Channel. I put on the Weather Channel because
I wanted to know what Milton's impact was gonna be.
I was watching Major League Baseball flipping back and forth.
And we as humans are innately drawn to weather related
(09:34):
phenomena and events. The media has become certainly aware of
that because they look at ratings, and that's why they
send everybody to stand in the water and stand in
the wind, because we can't look away because it is
in some ways enticing and exciting to see weather related
events on television. This is, by the way, not just
(09:55):
hurricanes or snowstorms. Or anything else. Do you know what
drives ratings in football?
Speaker 2 (10:02):
Buck? Snow.
Speaker 5 (10:04):
If they have snow games, people can't turn it off.
The more snow that falls during a football game, the
more people watch. It's captivating in some way to be
able to see. And I got a little bit of
a funny clip because I know Hurricane Milton is very
serious and we're wishing everybody the best. And I'm going
to be a middle of Hurricane Helene tomorrow. I'm going
to be at our Asheville affiliate. I cannot wait. I
(10:25):
will be flying over a helicopter seeing everything. I'll be
able to hopefully raise money. We're doing that Friday night
in Knoxville for everybody out there that is struggling. But
I was watching last night and I know our guys
grabbed it. We talked sports analogies. Sometimes one of these
weather forecast guys gave a analogy to what he thought
(10:48):
the second half of the storm was going to be like.
And unfortunately, if you were an Atlanta Falcons fan, you
just got absolutely wiped out. This is cut eight buck.
You can gape sports. I don't know if you saw this,
but I was watching this live last night on the
Weather Channel when it happened.
Speaker 7 (11:05):
We definitely enjoyed the little halftime show that both the
nature gave us inside Milton. But now we got the
second half, and you know, I gotta remind everyone you
might still be in the eye right now.
Speaker 2 (11:15):
There's a lot more to go.
Speaker 7 (11:16):
I think back to, you know, the Atlanta Falcons first
half Super Bowl winner. We know what happened to the
second half when the Patriots came back to life.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
So do not sleep on the second half of Milton.
Speaker 5 (11:28):
The second half of Milton buck for you. You need
a sports translation there. The Falcons were up twenty eight
three on Tom Brady and the Patriots. They ended up losing.
And I was just thinking to myself as I'm watching
the hurricane, some poor Atlanta Falcons fan hadn't been thinking
about that game for a long time.
Speaker 2 (11:43):
And then boom.
Speaker 5 (11:43):
The meteorologist uses it as an analogy to illustrate how
things can change in the second half of the storm
can be dangerous but positive. In the midst of all this,
it seems like the damage so far from Milton is
not the Category five monstrosity that everybody was afraid of,
and that it seems like Florida Rohn DeSantis. Everybody else
(12:05):
is gonna be able to recover, hopefully sooner rather than later.
Speaker 1 (12:08):

preparation and communication are key. So one of the newest
sponsors here we have can help you with that. I've
got them at home. We use them in the aftermath.
My family did in the aftermath of Hurricane Helene. My
family in New York now has them. We have not
forgotten about Hurricane Sandy up in New York. Remember, you
need to prepare now. And plus you can use these
(12:52):
just as a convenience too. Rapid radios, I mean you
can talk to people.
Speaker 2 (12:56):

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 podcasts.
Speaker 5 (13:58):
Welcome back in Clay Travis Sexton Show. Let's take some
of your calls. As we are rolling through the Thursday
edition of the program, VIP listener Linda says, I have
a very good friend in PA. Low information voter bought
the lies, but she trusts me. Little by little. I've
convinced her that although Trump isn't perfect, it will be
(14:19):
best for the country to vote for him.
Speaker 1 (14:21):
But she trusts you, she don't trust me. What's going on.
Speaker 5 (14:26):
I see that he has done a good job out
there convincing others to support candidate that I think and
you think, will be better than Kamala by far. Tim
in Bowling Green, Kentucky. Bowling Green is a nice area
just north of me here in Nashville. What you got
for us?
Speaker 3 (14:44):
Cats? Hey, why I'm feeling down a little bit? I'd
like to do. I like to go ahead and watch
the Cavs center back back in twenty sixteen when Trump
won ALTUS Democrats crime and.
Speaker 5 (14:59):
Yes, yeah, I have a little bit of a rough
signal there, Buck for people who couldn't hear. He said
he likes to watch the Hillary the post election night
party when everybody collapsed. He also said, go Cats, Wildcats, Kentucky.
Let me hit you at this Buck. You grew up
in New York City. Trump is setting up to have
(15:21):
a rally in Madison Square Garden, and we have a
lot of listeners on w o R. I bet a
lot of those people will come in. Certainly Trump has
had big rallies on Long Island, New Jersey, but this
is the and he had some around the trial earlier
this year.
Speaker 1 (15:38):
I mean that the Trump rally in Madison Square Garden,
Manhattan is actually going to be the Trump Long Islands,
Staten Island, some parts of far out Brooklyn, Northern New
Jersey rally. I'm just saying that that's where most of
most of the folks there are going to come from,
because that's where we get our red sanity, if you will,
in the Tri state area.
Speaker 2 (15:58):
All right, I want to hit you at this.
Speaker 5 (16:00):
This is a state senator, State senator in New York
who represents this area of Manhattan. He tweeted recently Buck
in the last twenty four hours, I've confirmed with Madison
Square Garden they signed an agreement with Trump to hold
a rally on October twenty seventh at three pm at
Madison Square Garden, which is in my senate district. Let's
(16:22):
be clear, allowing Trump to hold an event at Madison
Square Garden is equivalent to the infamous Nazis rally at
Madison Square Garden on February twentieth, nineteen thirty nine. This
is a disastrous decision by Madison Square Garden that will
endanger the public safety of New Yorkers and has the
potential to incite widespread violence. For the good of New
(16:45):
York City and its residents, I demand Madison Square Garden
keep our city safe by canceling the Trump rally.
Speaker 2 (16:53):
This is real.
Speaker 5 (16:54):
This is not like some crazy person who's not actually elected.
I think it is a crazy person, but this is
a state senator from Manhattan.
Speaker 1 (17:04):
Also, I would just say that Trump is like Hitler
in the Nazis. Yes, he was already president, we had
a booming economy. What is like, It's just crazy, Clay,
It's insane. It would be like me telling you that
they need to fire the starting quarterback of the Kansas
City Chiefs and replace him with me. I mean, I
(17:25):
don't lack for confidence, but that's an insane thing to say.
What can you say to people who say that Donald
Trump is somehow you know, the guy from The Apprentice,
who's a billionaire who's been a New York and global
developer for you know, fifty some odd years now, is
like Hitler? What is the Hitler stuff? Hitler started a
(17:47):
war that killed forty to fifty million, Maybe sixty million people,
and he's like, Hitler, like, what do you even say
to people that say this?
Speaker 5 (17:57):
They bought into these lies, and honestly, these are the
lies that have motivated, in my opinion, people to be
so willing to kill Trump. These people are broken, their
brains are broken. Yes, cyber hackers out there hide behind
their computer keyboards, working all day to hack into a
computer's company's computer system to steal their data. When they
score a data breach field day for them, they suddenly
(18:19):
have access to your name. Maybe you're so security number,
your address. It's enough info for them to pretend to
be you online. Once they do that, they can make
purchases in your name without you knowing, and some of
them are even able to access your bank accounts and
drain it. Defend yourself from stolen identity and the financial
losses with Lifelock's help. If you want to get hooked

Cleave Travis, and Buck Sexton on the front lines of truth.
Speaker 1 (18:56):
Welcome back in you know clam out here in LA
and one of the great things is you're reminded when
you're in California. Uh, we have so many listeners in California.
Oh yeah, someone come up with me. Yeah, it's I actually,
uh my one of my one of my driver uber
drivers here having a conversation. He's like I was talking
to him and I was just kind of be low key,
and at one point I said something. He's just like,
(19:16):
you know, I listened to you every day for three hours.
I was like, I was not aware of that, sir,
but thank you. So I was appreciate that. I was like, yeah,
you know, He's like, what do you think of what's
going on overseas? I was like, you know, I got
some ideas. I'm just kind of like a little nonchalant.
He's like, buck, I listened you for three hours a day.
You never stopped talking.
Speaker 2 (19:34):
Why don't you?
Speaker 1 (19:34):
And I was like, oh, okay, Well, we have a lot.
There's a lot of Republicans in California and in the
LA area. You know, you just you get because they're
out you know, they're outvoted by the Democrat blob. I
think it's sometimes easy to forget that. It's also easy,
well not easy to forget because I couldn't bring it
with me. Well I guess I could. Maybe I'll figure
(19:55):
it out. Clay, I don't have my Crocket Coffee with me.

want to drink the coffee that celebrates freedom in American history.

in California. One of my favorite stats that blows people's minds.
More people voted for Trump in twenty twenty in California
(21:17):
than in Texas. It blows people's mind. It's a function
of the population and just how many people live in California.
But you tend in your head to think, oh, Texas,
that is diehard Trump territory. I think many people do,
especially if you don't live in Texas, and you think
of California to Bucks point as this sort of blue wasteland.
(21:40):
But there's actually huge percentages of Trump voters there are,
such that more people in twenty twenty voted for Trump
in California than voted for Trump in Texas. And Trump
is going to be doing a rally soon in California
as well. We just mentioned the rally in y and
I know there's people out there, and if you live
(22:02):
in New York, you live in California and you're listening
to us, and you are a big Trump supporter, that
might well be where the House is going to be decided,
just like it was in twenty twenty two. So we
talk a lot about the Senate. You heard us talking
with Dave McCormick in Pennsylvania earlier. We talk a lot
about the certainly national presidential campaign. But Trump doing rallies
(22:26):
in New York and California I think is based on
two different things.
Speaker 2 (22:30):
Buck.
Speaker 5 (22:30):
One, he recognizes those are the battlegrounds they want to
drive up Republican turnout because he wants to hit for
the cycle. He wants to get the to get all
three the House, the Senate, and the Presidency and have
them all in Republican control. But Buck, I also think
there is an optimistic scenario out there where the Trump
(22:54):
team believes that they may be able to contend to
win the outright popular vote, and that is right now,
he's an underdog about seventy thirty. Kamala's favored to win
the popular vote, but if they can drive up that
turnout you were talking about it earlier in New York
and California in a way where Kamala's margins are severely
(23:18):
diminished there, And if they can run up the scoreboard
in a lot of red states, which I think they are,
He's gonna win my home state, for instance, Tennessee by
twenty year down in Florida, buck, I mean to me,
that's going to be one of the most interesting things
on election night is to see what you think.
Speaker 2 (23:31):
He's gonna Winlida. I think I think Trump wins Florida
double digits.
Speaker 1 (23:34):
I think I'll win by ten or more, which is
a lot for Florida for what used to be Remember
two thousand and me, it was we might win by
one hundred votes. You know, we're the hanging chads and
the and the dimpled chads and the stuff. And now
it's Trump's gonna win by I mean, I think eight
is a pretty is a pretty reasonable bet to make.
I think it's I think Trump could win Florida by
(23:55):
ten points. Maybe maybe I'm overly optimistic, but to your point,
and even if it's only eight, Buck, let's say your
margin of eight is accurate. If Trump wins Florida by eight,
he's winning Georgia, and Georgia is not going to be
a white knuckler style race. And if Trump wins Georgia comfortably,
(24:16):
I think he's gonna win North Carolina comfortably. And again
the math here, and we're going to keep hammering this.
Speaker 5 (24:21):
Home, Go vote, go vote early. The math here is
not complicated. If Trump wins Georgia, if he wins North Carolina,
and he wins Pennsylvania, he's the president. Now, it'd still
be nice to win Arizona, which I think he's going
to do. Nevada is right there at the margin toss
up both elections sixteen and twenty, it was super close. Michigan,
Trump's looking good, Wisconsin, Trump is looking good. But the
(24:44):
easy math there, Buck, is you don't even have to worry.
If Trump wins North Carolina, Georgia, and Pennsylvania, he's going
to be president. And then it's just a question of
how many states is he going to add on to
that one?
Speaker 1 (24:58):
With the election looming obviously two hurricanes now having hit hard,
and the aftermath of it. There's a lot going on.
We didn't even get to this. This is cut twenty one.
Some data came out on the economy that's also not
what we wanted to hear. I mean, I mean, the
American people not where we want things to be right now.
Inflation hotter than anticipated. This is over at Bloomberg. They
(25:22):
had to report this one today. Not good for the
people in charge running the show. Play twenty one.
Speaker 9 (25:27):
All right, let's take a look at CPI comes in
a little bit hotter than anticipated, up two tens of
ve percent, same as last month. Forecast was for one tenth.
The core comes in up three tenths. That is also
a little bit hotter than two tenths was the belief.
Three tenths was what we saw in August.
Speaker 2 (25:46):
The year every year.
Speaker 9 (25:47):
Numbers two point four percent for the headline not as
good as anticipated, and for the core three point three
percent not as good as anticipated.
Speaker 2 (25:57):
Clay, here's the thing.
Speaker 1 (26:00):
If the Biden economy was strong and people thought it
was as reflected in the polling and the public sentiment
across the country, what would commonly be out there saying,
four more years of the Biden economy. I am the
steward of the Biden economy. I am the continuation, the
two point zero, the younger, fresher, better version of the
(26:23):
Biden economy is what will be presented to you under
a Harris administration. Why isn't she saying that, Well, it's
quite obvious because it's not the economy that is going
to win them the election. It has not been a
record of any real achievement. There's nothing. The only thing
that they all will talk about is the what is
(26:44):
it like the Reduced Inflation Act or whatever they call it,
which was an inflation reduction Act, which was inflationary and
really had nothing to do with reducing inflation in the
first place, right, I mean, the actual effect was probably
made it a little worse, and it certainly didn't reduce inflation.
They've made everything more expensive for everybody, and what is
(27:04):
the victory that they can point to? I mean, I
think it's funny too. They want to attack Trump on
China and trade. You know why they're having a tough
time with that because people that have been paying attention, say,
hold on a second, you left tariffs in place from
Trump yes, you the tariffs are such a dumb idea. Well,
the Trump tariffs are so bad that Joe Biden comes
in and with all of his advisers and all of
(27:25):
his men and women doing whatever they're doing for this administration,
they keep the Trump tariffs. Hmm. Interesting, no doubt.
Speaker 5 (27:33):
And I think that's why Kamala is not a skilled politician.
But she's also rhetorically weak, and that is a bad combination.
She hasn't been able to answer these questions and they
just keep bedeviling her. And I don't see how it's
gonna get any better for her because now she's in
the panic phase and she's having to do all these
(27:55):
media interviews to try to change the trajectory. And unfortunately
for her, I think it's just reminding lots of people
why they were not impressed and did not like her
in the first place. All right, Thursday night football, Buck,
You know what that means. It's time for winners. Prizepicks
dot Com. My name Clay. You play five dollars, you
(28:16):
get fifty dollars guaranteed. You can do it in the
state where Buck is right now, California.
Speaker 2 (28:22):
You can do it. In Texas. You can do it
in Georgia. You can do it in Florida.
Speaker 5 (28:27):
If you're feeling left out, prizepicks dot com.
Speaker 2 (28:30):
My name Clay.
Speaker 5 (28:31):
All you have to do is pick more or less
on a variety of different players. And I've got tonight's game.
Seattle Seahawks hosting San Francisco forty nine Ers West Coast Game.
Here we go, Buck Gino. I think it's gonna be
a high scoring game. I think it's gonna be a
fun game. Lots of points. Gino Smith, quarterback for the Seahawks,
more than two hundred and fifty and a half passing yards.
Speaker 1 (28:55):
We gotta get this. I gotta know, so pass your
I'm going to pass yard pass. Some of the people
are new to this, like me. We go to passyards.
We find Gino's okay, match more more.
Speaker 5 (29:05):
Than two hundred and fifty and a half. Rock Party,
he is the quarterback passing yards more than two hundred
and fifty three and a half. In other words, I
think both quarterbacks are going to have a good game.
I think they're going to go up and down the field.
In particular, I like the forty nine ers to make
plays in the passing game. I'm going with Deebo Samuel
(29:26):
more than fifty five and a half receiving yards. He
is a top wide receiver for the San Francisco forty
nine ers. George Kittle is their tight end. I think
he goes for more than fifty and a half passing
yards receiving yards as well. So two on passing yards
quarterbacks tonight, Gino Smith, brock Purty wide receiver and tight
(29:47):
end both more on receiving yards. If I'm right, that
pays off at ten to one. If you're listening right now,
and I know some of you actually do think that
I'm a more on buck, you can go the exact
the opposite, and if I'm wrong on everything, you also
get ten to one.
Speaker 2 (30:04):
But of course I'm gonna be right ten to one.
Speaker 1 (30:06):
I've just realized I've got this all lined up, by
the way now, So I've got more on brock Purty,
thank you for slowing it down for me, More on
Geno Smith. I've got the receiving receiving yards also locked in.
More on Deebo Samuel. But I've realized, Clay, as I'm
looking at this, as I am becoming familiar with prize picks,
the next presidential uh, the next presidential bet we have,
(30:27):
you're gonna have to grow your hair out like Trevor
Lawrence if you lose. Okay, I want Clay to go
full Trevor Lawrence. As I'm seeing this, I used to
have hair like that back in high school. There are
some pictures of me circulating around. In fact, my wife's
background picture on her phone is my senior class photo
from high school when my hair was I like, think
(30:49):
it look great. My boys refer to it as a
pyramid style haircut, that I look like the Great Sphinx
in the way that my.
Speaker 2 (30:58):
Hair was set up. They also regularly mock me.
Speaker 5 (31:02):
But don't mock me. Go to prizepicks dot com. Use
code Clay fifty dollars when you play four winners right
there for you. If you're right ten to one, payout.
Have some fun at pricepicks dot com.

a lot of it with the Sunday Hang.
Speaker 2 (31:20):

wherever you get your podcasts.
Speaker 5 (31:28):
Welcome back in Clay Travis Buck Sexton Show.
Speaker 2 (31:31):
Appreciate all of.
Speaker 5 (31:32):
You hanging out with us if you're coming down the
closing stretch here Thursday edition of the program. I will
be in Asheville, North Carolina tomorrow. We'll be on the
exact opposite sides of the country. Officially, Buck will be
in La getting ready for Bill Maher and I am
telling you right now, Buck, I'm also about to fly
(31:52):
out to Jackson, Tennessee to be with Marsha Blackburn on
XX Day. That is a day that they have brand
did Riley Gaines End Company the Females ten ten double
X Day. Women's sports should only be made up of women.
I can't believe that that is a real thing, but
it is a necessary battle that needs.
Speaker 2 (32:11):
To be fought.
Speaker 5 (32:12):
And then tonight, Buck, I'm doing Adam Carolla, our buddy.
I'll be at Zany's, which is a comedy place, with
him as his guest at nine pm tonight. And if
you are in the Nashville area and you're a fan
of Adam Corolla or you want to come by and
see me, we'll be there I think from like nine
to ten doing his live podcast.
Speaker 1 (32:33):
You doing stand up, we need video of it and
it has to be posted on the side I'm just saying,
even if it's a little short, if you do a
little intro bit or something, Clay up there, like, Hey,
I just flew in from Nashville, and boy, are my
arm's tired?
Speaker 2 (32:46):
You know, I want to.
Speaker 5 (32:46):
See you know, years ago, Buck, we had a comedy
We just have a lot of comedians on the sports
talk radio show that I did, and he was on
and he was like, there's nothing tougher in the world
than stand up comedy. And I was like, Eh, you know,
I don't think. I mean, look, I appreciate people who
are comedians. As a performance.
Speaker 1 (33:05):
I think it is the most specific skill set and
you take the highest risk of bombing.
Speaker 2 (33:11):
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (33:12):
Yeah, as a as a performer, whether you're talking about
you know, public speaking, debating things like that, in that
realm acting. I know you say you can't act. I
don't know, man, I know a lot of dumb actors.
I think I could probably pull it off, especially if
we get to take a lot of you know, second takes.
But yeah, stand up is tough. We stink, you really stink.
Speaker 2 (33:35):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (33:35):
But my argument on stand up is you basically do
the same routine. So once you Yes, developing the routine
can be tough because you don't know what the crowd's
going to respond to. But once you have a little
bit of a routine, I don't.
Speaker 2 (33:48):
Think it's that tough.
Speaker 5 (33:49):
So Buck, I did live at Zany several years ago,
two hours, no note, stand up and went what yes,
completely like three or four years ago. There is audio
of it somewhere out there, like I just went out
and I thought I killed.
Speaker 1 (34:08):
I thought I killed Laura, my wife. And I'm not
surprised that you thought you killed but I am. I
am impressed that you did this. I mean, we sold
out the place and uh.
Speaker 5 (34:18):
And basically it was just me walking around with a
mike talking about all the things that exists in the world.
Speaker 2 (34:23):
My point on it is, and if you told me,
and I mean this.
Speaker 5 (34:29):
You told me Clay, your only job is you need
to come up with one hour of really good material
and you get six months to work on it, and
then you can just go do that same material over
and over and over again. We have to do every
day reacting to different things, which to me is way
more challenging, which is what I was telling the commedy
(34:50):
A lot of stand ups and I've done some shows
where there have been set up comedians there who are
actually not very good on their feet, which I find
there's always a thing of stand up to.
Speaker 1 (34:58):
So some of them are. I mean, like I'll full
credit Bill Maher is good on his feet, Like he's good.
He's been doing this a long time.
Speaker 2 (35:03):
He knows how he could show without you have to
react to what people say.
Speaker 1 (35:08):
I have been And it also makes somebody much harder
debate right, because you think you're you think you're angling
in on the point if they just have a line
that's particularly funny, even if they should be conceding the
point right. So debating comedians is not an easy not
an easy game. But I think when people say stand up,
including myself, is so hard. I'm talking about the first
time you do it, like the first time you get
(35:28):
up there. Yeah, if you've been seasoned at it. Look
the number one the most common fear people have is
public speaking, which I said there people always ask me,
I know the same thing with you, They like, when
you first started doing this stuff, did you get nervous?
And I have to look at the ey and just
be like, no, why why I'm just talking? Why would
I be nervous about talking. It is the most common
fear across all the polls they do about this stuff,
(35:49):
even more so than spiders, which I think is crazy
because spiders are scary.
Speaker 3 (35:53):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (35:53):
Given credit to a comedian, Seinfeld had a great bit
back in the day, Buck where he would say the
two biggest fear in life are public speaking in death
and public speaking is one. So if you had to choose,
and I'm paraphrasing the Seinfeld bit, whether to be the
person in the casket or the person delivering the eulogy
for the person in the casket, most people are more
(36:14):
afraid of talking than they are dying, which is talking
in front of a crowd. So I'll be talking in
front of a crowd with Adam Crowl tonight. We'll see
how I can do. You guys can tell me if
I'm awful. Tomorrow I'll be in Asheville. Buck will be
out in LA and this afternoon I'll be with Marsha Blackburn,
next current and soon to be re elected senator. Busy
days all around raising money tomorrow for Hurricane Helene victims.
(36:37):
We appreciate all of you. Best to everybody recovering from
Milton Will update you on how that has gone. Buck,
be safe out in LA and we'll be back tomorrow.
