Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome to today's edition of the Clay Travis and Buck
Sexton Show Podcast.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
Third hour of Clay and Buck and a lot going on,
my friends. The all star team being assembled as we
speak for this Trump two point zero administration. Our buddy
Pete Hegseth in for Secretary of Defense, John Ratcliffe in
as CIA director. You've got Elon and Viveke. They're almost
(00:26):
like Brazilian soccer players. You can just say one name
for them, now, you know what I mean. Ronaldo slash,
Elon slash Vivike, thevicant Elon in together on the DOGE
the Department of Government Efficiency. We're gonna discuss that here
coming up. Also, who else is in the in the
new category we mentioned Lee Zelden, EPA, Christy Nome, DHS
(00:49):
chief Tom Holman. The borders are uh Susie Wilds. Chief
of staff is Steven Miller. Is that official that he's deputy?
Officially official?
Speaker 3 (00:58):
Taylor Buttowitch, who's been with him for a long time,
done great work. Also, Dan Scavino. All of those guys
from inside the team have been have been officially announced
as members of the Trump administration, and so Trump himself
DC sitting by the fire with Joe Biden talking about
(01:19):
being back in the White House.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
Let's get into this is cut one, Trump and Biden
hanging out telling war stories.
Speaker 1 (01:25):
You know, no big deal. Play cut one.
Speaker 4 (01:27):
Forward to having a like we said, a smooth transition
to everything.
Speaker 5 (01:32):
We can make sure you're a combinaated what you need.
Speaker 1 (01:35):
I'm gonna get a chance to talk to us on
out today. It's good.
Speaker 6 (01:38):
Welcome, Thank you, Jenny, thank you very much. And politics
is tough, and it's many cases not a very nice world.
But it is a nice world today and I appreciate
it very much. A transition that's so smooth, it'll be
as smooth as.
Speaker 7 (01:55):
You can get.
Speaker 6 (01:55):
And I very much appreciate that.
Speaker 1 (01:57):
Joe, you are think you are.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
All right, Obian. I have a sports analogy for you here.
This is two fighters who have gone the full distance,
thrown everything they have at each other. Trump won, He's
had his gloves raised in the air, but he's actually
going over and giving a hug to a worthy opponent
here afterwards.
Speaker 1 (02:25):
That's what it looked like a little bit to me.
Speaker 2 (02:26):
It's like, all right, I won, but you fought hard,
and there's some respect that comes with fighting hard, even
if you're Joe Biden.
Speaker 3 (02:33):
I think that's a good analogy. Trump has talked to
The New York Post already, and there are some quotes here,
Buck that I think you'll enjoy. This just popped in
the last few minutes. He told the New York Post
that that he and Biden quote, both really enjoyed seeing
each other. You know, it's been long, long slog. It's
(02:54):
been a lot of work on both sides. He did
a very good job with respect to campaigning and everything else.
Really had a good meeting. These are quotes from Trump
on meeting Biden. He also said, let's see that he
and Biden discussed Ukraine and also what should happen. I
asked for his views, He gave them to me, and
(03:16):
we talked very much about the Middle East. I wanted
to know his views on where we are and what
he thinks, and he gave them to me. He was
very gracious. Okay, this is Trump being nice. This is
Biden being nice. A week ago Trump was hitler. Now, Buck,
there are pictures of both men smiling in front of
(03:36):
a roaring fireplace in the White House. Here's my thing
that I wish many of you out there would understand,
but particularly a lot of leftists who.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
Are never going to hear this. The people telling you
that he.
Speaker 3 (03:48):
Was Hitler never actually believed it. They said it because
it was politically expedient. Now it's one thing for them
to show how quickly. I mean, if you really thought
Trump was Hitler, you wouldn't talk about how important it
was to have a smooth transition. You wouldn't talk about
how you're glad that American democracy has had a voice.
You would say, somebody needs to kill this guy or
(04:10):
else he's going to destroy the world. That's not what
they're saying, because they never actually believed it. But here's
the problem, buck, They don't tell they're more on followers
out there who were trying to kill Trump, who were
shaving off all their heads, who are saying that they're
not going to have kids, who are saying that they're
not going to sleep with their significant others anymore. They
(04:32):
are allowing their mental health instability to be taken what
they're saying about him being Hitler at face value as
if it's true. They don't have the ability or the
willingness to turn off the election season.
Speaker 1 (04:48):
Because I really think this, and I hate to say it.
Speaker 3 (04:52):
I think a solid twenty percent of America, overwhelmingly on
the left, has profound mental illness, and Democrats are preying
on that mental illness in an effort to drive up
turnout to the best of their ability, even though they
know what they're saying about Trump isn't true.
Speaker 1 (05:11):
I think that this is inescapable, is the conclusion.
Speaker 7 (05:16):
Now.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
It's why I CNN at MSNBC and the ratings are dropping,
because even those audiences have had to reckon with They
were lied to about the prospects of Kamala winning, they
were lied to about the horror of a Trump victory.
They they should be if I were an msn you
know what, Clay, I am an MSNBC.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
You are you your your wheelhouse, that's you know.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
I'm I'm like sitting there drinking my crack at coffee,
watching Morning Joe, just to see how they're trying to
destroy the Republic. But if I were ideologically aligned with them,
if I actually believe the stuff instead of watched it
for some kind of like you know, the weird pleasure
I get out of seeing these lunatics make fools of themselves,
I would be very disappointed in the way that they
(06:02):
have presented pretty much everything in this campaign. I mean,
let's not forget, just to name one, Joe Scarborough earlier
this year said that Joe Biden was not just sharp,
but the sharpest he's ever been. You can't come back,
you can't come back from that lie. If anyone, anybody
with a high IQ who cares about accountability and credibility
knows that Joe Scarborough is a fraud, an absolute fraud,
(06:24):
will say absolutely anything, and it's true of a lot
of others over there as well. I think that Trump
is moving things in a direction right now where it
will be very hard for them in the anti Trump media.
You know, CNN should have stayed where it was center left.
It was center left. Now it wasn't center, but it was,
you know, everything to the left of center. But you
(06:45):
know some people that weren't completely insane. It went full
left wing under Trump term one because of Jeff Zucker
and his personal feud with Trump. So he turned it
into an anti It was like the death star of
anti trump Ism. And we all know what happened to
the death star. So I think Clay, this time around,
they're going to have to do a total reshuffling of
(07:05):
how they cover these things. Because Trump is going to
do good things, including some of the picks that he's made,
I wanted to bring us back to that for a
second look. The CIA director, that's mostly going to be
a cleanup and streamlining job. I think under Trump term
two and this has gone to Ratcliffe, and I think
(07:26):
that that's a strong pick. He was d and I
before he knows the intel community, the intel community, and
I come from it. I know what I'm talking about.
Under the War on Terror, rubric Clay got so big
that it turned It's almost like Skynet and Terminator two
when it became self aware. The intelligence bureaucracy got so
big and so just bloated, and it's able to hide
(07:50):
so much of what it does from real scrutiny under
classification that it needs a dramatic remodeling. And that means
some of the load bearing walls are actually gonna have
to gonna get got, you know what I mean, They're
gonna have to swing some sledgehammers here. I think he's
the right man for that job. Elon and viveg in
the Government Accountability or sorry, government whatever's it called, DOGE
(08:15):
Department of Government Accountability, DOGE a Department of Government efficiency
rather DOGE. I think they're gonna do a really good job.
And then you also have Pete hag Seth. This was
the one that's got them completely freaking out. Let's remind
everybody of some wisdom from Rush Clay. The team pulled this.
When you're talking about the Pentagon, you're not necessarily talking
(08:37):
about warriors at the top. You're talking about politicians and bureaucrats.
Here's what Rush said years ago, seeing this for what
it was.
Speaker 8 (08:46):
Player all kinds of generals and leaders in the Pentagon,
or your generals, politically correct generals, others that are devoted
entirely to the bureaucracy. They're more concerned doing what they've
got to do to climb the Pentagon ladder of success
rather than actually be warrior generals.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
Play same thing. The CIA, by the way, one hundred accurate.
And I think Pete Hegseath is going to go in
there and shake it up. I don't even think it's
unique to Pentagon. I think it's just a CIA. It's
the same thing I tell you I should said. I
don't even think it's unique to government.
Speaker 3 (09:27):
There are tons of people in every employment imaginable that
don't do what's best for the organization. They play the
politics that leads to their advancement the best. Every one
of you listening to us right now, if I asked you,
you could say, oh, yeah, that's so and so who
has worked alongside of you. Don't care at all about
(09:50):
the right decisions being made by the business or the
entity that you're working for. They are just trying to
advance themselves the best of their ability. What's the great
line about the faculty lounge in at universities. It's something
along the lines of never have so many tried so
(10:11):
hard for something that is worth so little?
Speaker 8 (10:14):
Meaning.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
If you're the.
Speaker 3 (10:15):
Head of the Romance languages at Swarthmore, you are just
fighting tooth and nail to advance, Like is it gonna
be the Italian professor or is it gonna be the
French professor who manages to chair the department. Nobody freaking cares,
but they're knifing each other proverbially in back alleys inside
(10:36):
of these universities to chair the Romance languages, not at
all caring about whether the overall university is advancing in
any way. It's climbing that career ladder at a just
a little bit higher rung. And I don't mean trying
to found something that would otherwise not exist like Elon.
Speaker 1 (10:53):
I mean in existing institutions.
Speaker 3 (10:55):
Because I think startups and I think new businesses are
very different. That's why of like working at fusty old
organizations buying large butt because it's so frustrating because so
many people are just trying to preserve whatever they have
as opposed to trying to build something new.
Speaker 2 (11:09):
Kind of I want to add to a little perspective,
you know. Again Clay having worked in a massive federal
bureaucracy twice, a federal bureacraty twice, I'm sold.
Speaker 1 (11:21):
I don't think I could do it. I would lose
my mind.
Speaker 2 (11:22):
I worked in the CIA, which for government is leaning mean,
just to be clear, like CIA, when I was there,
they were I mean, they were getting like something like
hundreds of thousands of applications a year to work there.
I mean, it's just insane, like CIA was. Remember it's
post nine to eleven, the post nine to eleven CIA.
Everybody was like, oh my gosh, all hands on deck.
You know, a lot of people military, but a lot
(11:43):
of people want to go in and find in laden
and that's what the CIA's job was. But I'll say this, it's,
you know, we we don't.
Speaker 1 (11:50):
Want to be because I know we have a lot
of government people listen to us.
Speaker 2 (11:52):
And as I said, there's a portion of these different entities,
especially when you're talking about anything in the national security
realm or the patriot badasses that we want in those places.
And whether that's FBI or CIA or you know, obviously
anywhere in the DoD complex. That is reality, and we
never want to lose sight of that. And maybe it's
more like twenty percent on some of these entities. Fine,
(12:13):
but Clay, having worked in these places, it's not always
the fault, especially for the kind of for the mid performers,
you know, for the big lump in the middle. They
make it impossible to be excellent. The culture of these
places excellence. I used to say this to my friends
(12:34):
in the CIA when I was in the CIA, Excellence
is punished. You're not supposed to be excellent. You're supposed
to do what the heck you're told by the person
immediately above you. So your performance review says, I do
what I'm told. Now I can't speak to the military side.
We have a huge military audience. You guys can speak
to that. But on the intel side, there's the restructuring
(12:56):
of these places. There's a lot of human capital, a
lot of human talent in these entities. You know, some
people have just got to go this is not for them.
Put that aside. There are other people where if you
had someone like an Elon look at what's really going
on and unleash them state agencies, federal agencies, we do
need government. We're not lunatics, they would do. I mean,
(13:18):
what I'm saying is you can create more high performers
with a change in culture too. I don't think we
should forget that part of this as well. There are
people who if the CIA had been a little less
bureaucratic and stifling, they'd still be their clay and they
were badasses, brilliant patriots, great people in general.
Speaker 3 (13:37):
If you move fast and break things, you don't work
very well in a bureaucracy. And that's where I'm kind
of intrigued to see how Elon and Vivek are going
to fit in in terms of their government efficiency movements.
Government is the is the foundation of inefficiency, and so
when you have someone like an Elon or a Vivek
(13:57):
who wants to move fast and break things, I'm curious
how that discordant connection is going to work and just
how many roadblocks are going to be put up from
them being able to do what's actually best for the country.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
I view this as a Trump's got it on the
tax I mean, and I don't want to be dismissive
of this, like, oh, that's no big deal, but Trump's
got it on taxes and trade policy, and entrepreneurs are
all so excited and M and A activity is going
to be up, and your wages are going to go
up and prices are going to go down. We're we
almost take that. I mean, just seeven says of how
spoiled we are by this victory. I think we almost
take that, for granted, Clay, But the big hills that
(14:32):
have to be taken, the deportation mission of criminal illegals,
and this government efficiency streamlining, because that's a part of
dealing with our deficit, of dealing with our debt, of
starting to move in that direction, which I understand that
is a massive mountain, that is thirty six trillion dollars, right,
But this is absolutely critical, critical stuff. So we're gonna
(14:54):
be following that part of the mission very closely. We're
also going to follow the mission to defend life very closely.
And so many of you have stepped up. And I mean,
I am personally grateful because I've sat down with the
founders of Preborn and I've looked into their eyes and
they've looked into mine, and they know that there is
a sense that this is a mission from God to
(15:17):
protect as many babies as possible. And that's how I
feel about this. That's how they feel every day. That's
how their staffs view their mission. And these preborn clinics,
here's what they do. There are women out there who
are in a difficult situation, a lot of different stories
about this. Some of them get tremendous pressure, perhaps from
they would be father, perhaps from their families, or perhaps
(15:37):
they just don't think they have the resources to know how.
They're scared and they're pregnant. They go into a preborn
clinic and you know what, they get love, support and help.
The first thing that Preborn does they say, look, before
you make any decision about life for your baby, we're
going to give you a free ultrasound We're just going
to give you an ultrasound. You can see the baby,
and when the mom sees that little heartbeat, overwhelmingly she
(15:59):
just realized, this is a tiny child. I want to
have my baby, and it is a beautiful thing. And
that's not the end of it, of course, that's just
the beginning those ultrasounds from there. Preborn for two years
leading up to birth, of course, but then two years
after birth, they will give support, food, medicine, job search, assistance, counseling,
(16:20):
whatever they can do to help those moms to be
become moms with their little boy or little girl. It's
amazing and so many of you have stepped up and donated,
and we're so grateful, and I know there are many
of you out there who are just waiting for the
right opportunity, and maybe that's today. An ultrasound that you
can sponsor is just twenty eight dollars. One hundred and
forty dollars would sponsor five ultrasounds. Now that could very
(16:42):
well lead to a few years, you know, five little
boys and girls running around living their lives. This is
what Preborn's mission is. To donate. Dial pound two fifty
on your cell phone, say the keyword baby. That's pound
two five zero say baby, or visit preborn dot com
slash buck preborn dot com slash buk. All gifts are
(17:06):
tax deductible, and Preborn has a four star charity reading
sponsored by Preborn.
Speaker 1 (17:19):
Buck.
Speaker 3 (17:20):
Sexton savagely attacked I think justifiably over his celebratory pistachio Crimbreulay.
Speaker 1 (17:28):
We will unpack and.
Speaker 2 (17:29):
Discuss pistachios fired, Clay, pistachios fired.
Speaker 1 (17:34):
We will talk all of this and more.
Speaker 3 (17:36):
But I want to tell you, uh, maybe you need
some testosterone in your life, so you're not celebrating with pistachio.
Crimbruley just saying, go to chalk dot com right now,
choq dot com. Our friend Seaton from the Great State
of Texas has built an all natural mail supplement that
will increase your overall testosterone level by twenty percent if
(17:56):
you take it for three months. They have it for
women too. Bobby does not need it. Eighty two year
old Bobby, who called in at the end of the
last hour. I bet she had a perm in nineteen
eighty two used baby oil to tan. She doesn't need
female vitality stack, but maybe you do. Maybe you do.
If you're a man too. I'm telling you right now.
Go to choq dot com. You can also use my
(18:18):
name Clay lowest subscription cost for life, but you can
also call five zero chalk three thousand. Some of you
out there would really rather talk to a real life American,
that is, someone on the phone in the United States
to ask your question. You can check out the website
choq dot com. But five zero chalk three thousand is
the phone number. You tell them, Clay Sentshia, you'll get
(18:40):
the best deal on subscription for life.
Speaker 1 (18:42):
Chalk dot com. Five zero chalk three thousand.
Speaker 2 (18:53):
The numbers my friends are in an official Oh get
ready for it.
Speaker 1 (18:58):
We need some kind of like happy music to play
in the back round.
Speaker 7 (19:00):
Ooo.
Speaker 1 (19:01):
Trump won the presidency. We know that won the Senate
for Republicans.
Speaker 2 (19:05):
We know that House of Representatives officially now called Republican
The trifecta of my friends, the Big three, the presidency,
the Senate, the House of Representatives, Republicans in control of government.
You love to see it. Very exciting stuff. It's gonna
be a two seat pickup. It looks like it's going
(19:25):
to be.
Speaker 3 (19:26):
Yeah, it looks like it's gonna be two twenty two
you need too eighteen for a majority.
Speaker 1 (19:32):
Uh, I believe.
Speaker 3 (19:33):
According to our crew in New York right now there
are some open seats, but Republicans had two twenty so
it looks like two twenty two is going to be
the new number, which is basically a plus two, a
status quo election. In fact, Democrats will have done better
in the House than they would have in the national
popular vote. Just fyi. But again key component here, House, Senate,
(19:59):
White House, a clean sweep, a red wave or even
red tsunami if you would for Donald Trump with his
three hundred and twelve electoral votes now complete control of
the House and Senate too. A little spiking the football
here via numbers with Harry entin Over at CNN. In
terms of the Trump numbers across liberal cities, this has
(20:22):
cut thirteen.
Speaker 1 (20:22):
Listen to this.
Speaker 5 (20:23):
Donald Trump put up the best Republican performance for a
Republican nominee for president and at least twenty years, if
not the entire twenty first century. We're talking about Chicago,
Los Angeles, New York City, San Francisco across the map.
Donald Trump put up historically strong numbers for Republican candidate
for president in places that. Truthfully, if you had asked
(20:43):
me eight years ago, I would have never thought possible.
Speaker 9 (20:46):
No, I mean it is really stunning.
Speaker 1 (20:48):
So what exactly is driving it? What's driving it? You know?
Speaker 5 (20:52):
I think immigration was part of it, but I think
crime is a big part of it as well. What
you see is the dissatisfaction number now versus.
Speaker 1 (20:58):
A decade ago.
Speaker 5 (20:59):
Look at that unsatisfied number from thirty five percent to
fifty eight percent. The satisfied number drop by twenty points.
Speaker 2 (21:07):
Clay, I gotta tell you, I think you know, we
were talking about whether they double down on the crazy
or run toward the center on the trans issue, and
I think there's a case to be made in both directions.
Speaker 1 (21:17):
We talked about that.
Speaker 2 (21:18):
I think Democrats are going to have to go back
to where they were in the nineties on the crime thing,
where they're not going to be fully on board, but
they are going to move toward, if not the center,
towards sanity. Nobody wants to be in a city where
old people are being bludgeoned by maniacs who are half
naked or fully naked running around the street when they
(21:38):
should be incarcerated because they've already been arrested fifty times.
Speaker 3 (21:42):
It looks like again because California is voting so slowly,
we don't even freaking know yet. I think they're still
at like eighty two or eighty three percent eight days
later of the vote, tallly looks like Trump's gonna lose
California by around twenty points, which is actually pretty good
for a Republican in recent history, and his one reason
he's winning the popular vote because he's not losing California
(22:04):
by thirty points or some such. But also buck if
you go behind the numbers. Californians overwhelmingly voted to end
essentially amnesty for shoplifting and say, hey, let's actually.
Speaker 1 (22:17):
Enforce the laws so we don't have to.
Speaker 3 (22:18):
Have toothpaste behind lock and key because everything is getting stolen.
Speaker 1 (22:23):
They overwhelmingly voted in general for sanity to return.
Speaker 3 (22:29):
The DA in La lost, the mayor in San Francisco lost,
the number of left leaning state office holders who gave
up their jobs because finally, so many Californians just got
fed up with incompetence. Voting for Trump was a bridge
too far, Voting for sanity was not, and even voting
(22:51):
for Trump.
Speaker 1 (22:52):
He swung a lot of people even in California.
Speaker 2 (22:55):
Do you have a little soft spot for Carville from
back in the day, Clay just because he was kind
of one of the earth early's in our business, or
would you say you like Carville a bit of those guys,
because I'm about to play a Carville clip, But I
feel like you have a respect for Carville?
Speaker 1 (23:08):
Am I missing? Am I?
Speaker 9 (23:09):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (23:09):
No, I think that's true.
Speaker 3 (23:10):
Look, I like people who tell you exactly what they think,
even if sometimes I disagree with them, and that's actually
rare in media, whether it's on the left or the right.
Speaker 1 (23:21):
You talked about Joe Scarborough, I have no respect for him.
Speaker 3 (23:23):
If he sometimes had intelligent takes, I would say, you know,
I disagree with him. But when he tells us that
eighty two year old Joe Biden is the best version
of Biden, it's such a propagandistic lie that I can't
trust him anymore.
Speaker 1 (23:38):
Carville. Would you know?
Speaker 2 (23:39):
Carville can't be he can't be totally crazy. He's married
to Mary Madeline, who who I know is a lovely person,
and I believe actually guest hosted for Rush at one point.
So yeah, he did the team remind me, so you know,
he's got his feet on the ground. He may see
things differently or wrongly on a bunch of things, but
he's not one of these Democrats who lives on another planet.
I bring this up because I think he sees what's
(24:01):
been done to the Democrat Party of the nineties where
he had a strong voice in the Clinton era, and
he's like, do you guys wanted to keep getting your
butts kicked? This has cut sixteen play it.
Speaker 7 (24:11):
All of the Washington based Democrats farting around, going to
wine and cheese parties and talking about how masogy and
mistigations to get your ass out of Washington and go
work on a twenty twenty six campaign and do penance
to make up for your damn arrogance and stupidity. We're
not gonna say, well, We're going to say we told
you so. We told you this identity was disaster. We
(24:35):
told you to get out in front of public safety issues.
Speaker 1 (24:38):
You didn't. You didn't.
Speaker 7 (24:39):
We told you to have an open process and demonstrate
the magnificent and staggering and deep talented exist in the
mind Democrat Party.
Speaker 1 (24:47):
You didn't.
Speaker 7 (24:48):
We told you to differentiate yourself a Biden. You didn't.
I hate to be some know at all, but all
of these things are part of the record. Now.
Speaker 2 (24:56):
I think he might have said Kamalo is going to win,
but I think that goes in the oh. I have
to push for my gal, you know, bucket of decision making.
But Clay, everything that he's saying there is true. And
it's funny because as an American, I hope that Democrats
listen to him. As a Republican, I kind of want
them to keep whinding about trans guys and women's sports.
Speaker 3 (25:19):
Listen to this buck. Christine Amanpour, who was probably the
Queen Christian christ Christie Apologize Christian, confronted him for saying
that there were too many preachy females in the Democrat
Party that were turning off male voters and asked him
about that directly, and he did not back down.
Speaker 1 (25:40):
Listen to this buck. You're gonna like cut twenty five
last spring, you said, you know, a suspicion of mine
is that there are too many preachy females dominating the
culture of the Democratic Party.
Speaker 3 (25:52):
Do you stand by that, females?
Speaker 7 (25:53):
Would you look at our male vote? Would somebody just
take a look at how we did with males and
how we did with non white males, and tell me
that the Democrats don't have a messaging problem, that the
message comes across as too feminine. I mean, of course,
if I was right when I said that, Yeah, I
don't think there's not a person in the world I
(26:14):
talked to that doubts that I'm right.
Speaker 1 (26:17):
Right now.
Speaker 7 (26:17):
I say provocative things to get a provocative reaction.
Speaker 1 (26:21):
Yeah, but are you really?
Speaker 7 (26:22):
Are somebody going to really tell me we don't have
a problem with male voters.
Speaker 2 (26:26):
Can I tell you I like Salty Carville, who's going
around dunking on his own team.
Speaker 1 (26:30):
It's pretty funny. Well, look, he's a dude. This is
what I said. You asked a good question, like who
is the face of the Democrat Party? Right now?
Speaker 3 (26:39):
Let me just ask this question of men. Can you
name a Democrat you'd like to have a beer with?
That was a question back in the day, And I
understand Biden and Trump neither one drink, so.
Speaker 1 (26:49):
It's a figurative thing.
Speaker 3 (26:50):
Can you name a guy that you'd like to have
chicken wings with and watch Buffalo wings and watch a
football game with? Can you name a Democrat you wouldn't
being seated next to at a big football game. I
can't name one buck. I can't name a dude in
the Democrat Party right now that leave aside politics. I
(27:12):
would like to have a beer with sit and watch
a football game with. I just want to say to everybody,
I don't want to forget. I don't want to let
just either things in the past go like this right.
Speaker 4 (27:21):
Now, somewhere, Gavin Newsom, he's crying tears that his man,
Clay Travis. They used to sit on the beach in Malibu.
He had three shirt buttons down, you know, talking to Clay,
drinking his chardonnay from his own vineyard, Clay fro picked
by his own hands, talking about democracy, and now Clay
is just bailing on Handsome Newsom look at this.
Speaker 3 (27:43):
To be fair to Newsome, he might be my pick
if I had to pick somebody, but I wouldn't be
excited about it. This would be like three am at
the bar and there's not a lot of girls left,
and there's not a lot of.
Speaker 1 (27:55):
Guys left either.
Speaker 3 (27:56):
And you don't typically end up with the homecoming King
and the homecoming I mean queen riding off into the
sunset at three am from your neighborhood bar.
Speaker 1 (28:04):
I'm just gonna I'm gonna say this and it might
get uh, you know, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (28:08):
I got to ask our good puddy, a good buddy,
Sean Parnell, who's you know, mister Pennsylvania Army veteran, great
guy on our Clay and Buck podcast network, by the way,
which you should definitely listen to him. There he does
Battleground by Sean Parnell. You know, if you had to
have a if you have a Democrat you sit down
with to have a normal conversation, right now, somebody who's
I'm sure there's some members of the House who are
actually pretty.
Speaker 1 (28:28):
Normal dudes, but we just don't really know who they are.
Speaker 2 (28:30):
I mean, maybe I'm giving them too much credit, but
there's probably you know, there's some veterans in there who
unfortunately have been led astray by like.
Speaker 1 (28:37):
Oh it's about like women's choice over their bodies or whatever.
Speaker 2 (28:40):
Butterman, I think Fetterman, I he he's not technically an
independent yet, right, I think he's going in that still direction.
Speaker 1 (28:49):
He's still a Democrat.
Speaker 3 (28:50):
Now. The reason I hate take a shot, I don't
know that Fetterman can have actually a great conversation. Chilling
side by side, right, I mean just I mean, is
he a fun guy to hang out with and chat.
I think he's been one hundred percent right on Israel.
I think he's right on a lot of things that
he tweets. But is he gonna be thinking.
Speaker 2 (29:06):
He's a pretty normal I think he's a pretty normal
dude in so far as you could say things to him.
I mean, here's the real test. Yeah, like the real
pro test. Okay, And this is again, they always try
to make this about something.
Speaker 7 (29:18):
It's not.
Speaker 2 (29:19):
If somebody is a trans adult, you speak to that
human being with dignity, with kindness they're a fellow American,
or just a fellow human being if they're not American.
I mean, you know, it's not about being unkind or
mean to people. But in the sports issue, now, this
is about consequences for other people. This isn't just an
individual choice. This is and women have been hurt. And
as a man, men hurting women makes any real man
(29:43):
very pissed off. Okay, anytime any guy who's truly a
man hears about a woman, whether it's a guy who's
abusing a spouse or a girlfriend, or a guy who's
beating up girls in the boxing ring.
Speaker 1 (29:56):
You know this pisss off normal.
Speaker 2 (29:59):
Men, right, And if you sit down you have that
conversation and you say, don't isn't it crazy? This is
really a litmus test any guy you sit down with
and you say, this biological male is you know, breaking
all the records for women in the sport?
Speaker 1 (30:12):
Isn't that gross?
Speaker 2 (30:13):
If they don't agree, then the woke mind virus has
gotten them and their t levels are dropping and they're
not really a man. That's just where we are now.
And I don't there a letterman would go along with
you know what I mean. I think Fetterman would say, yeah,
you're right, that's crazy.
Speaker 1 (30:26):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (30:26):
And by the way, it also can just be that
they're not willing to speak truth to their party because
they're afraid of what just happens.
Speaker 1 (30:33):
I need one on one, Clay to be clear. I
just want to because I've had this.
Speaker 2 (30:37):
I've had this with Democrats and I will not out
them because I have friends who are Democrats, or they're like, yeah,
that that transport stuff is nuts, and then they will
go on MSNBC.
Speaker 1 (30:46):
And be like trans women are real women, you know.
Speaker 2 (30:49):
Because they don't want that, they don't want the hate
they don't want the death threats. I have friends who
have gone wrong rogue if you will, on the trans thing,
meaning they're like, yeah, you have a penis, you're a man,
and they get death threats for it, real thing.
Speaker 3 (31:03):
I feel good about their chances of winning the battle there.
I don't think there's I'm not worried about a chick
who's pretending to be a dude taking hold.
Speaker 1 (31:13):
No, no, no, that happens.
Speaker 2 (31:13):
It's never This is important though, Clay, I'm sorry. It's
not trans people sending the death threats. It's not trans people.
It's people who are so upset about the wrong speak
on the trans issue that they become violent and insane.
Speaker 1 (31:28):
You know what, it's basically whitegre can say it's white progressives.
They're the ones that are the craziest.
Speaker 3 (31:35):
And they're also the ones, to James Carvel's point, who
are destroying the Democrat Party. And so far we're not
seeing a lot of self reflection about how broken some
of these arguments are and how dishonest they are. And again,
I would just circle back. I mean, I'm curious what
your answers would be. Can you name a guy who's
an elected national Democrat? Figure that's statewide or certainly a
(31:56):
governor who thinks about running for president.
Speaker 1 (31:59):
I can't name that i'd want to summon success.
Speaker 2 (32:01):
Moulton would have been high on the list, and you've
been pointing out he stepped into this trans bear trap.
If you will, I mean he's a pretty normalish seamen dude.
I mean he seems somewhat dude like. I mean, give
him credit for actually being willing to speak out. But
I think this is why the man issue with Democrats
is not going away. I think it's going to get
worse in twenty eight before it gets better again. We'll
(32:22):
see if they can have somebody emerge who is not
very well known right now to combat this.
Speaker 3 (32:26):
But I just don't see it. William Gilbert enlisted in
the US Army to become part of something meaningful. He
loved the sense of brotherhood that came with being in
the army. William thrived in the Army, showing a real
bravery and mastery of the skills.
Speaker 7 (32:39):
There.
Speaker 3 (32:39):
He received a good Conduct medal, a non Article five
NATO Medal, a Purple Heart, and a bronze Star medal.
While on patrol, one day, a soldier from William squad
stepped on an ied as William and others tried to help.
Another ied detonated, resulting in the tragic death of William
and two of his fellow soldiers. William left behind his
pregnant wife, Monica and their kids. The Tunnel of the
(33:03):
Towers Foundation provided his family with a mortgage free home,
although William was never able to meet his youngest daughter,
she's the epitome of everything he was. Honor heroes like
United States Army specialist E four William Gilbert join us
in donating eleven dollars a month to Tunnel to the
Towers at t twot dot org. That's t the number
(33:23):
two t dot org. Buck's gonna have the show Thursday Friday.
I'll be back with you Monday, So try not to
burn anything down or have too much of a party
atmosphere or Buck while I'm gone, And maybe you can
(33:44):
kick back at the end of one of those days
and have your pistachio. Crimbrewlay, but this Jesse Kelly's show
not pleased with the decision.
Speaker 1 (33:55):
Here was his show last night.
Speaker 9 (33:56):
Listen Anti Crimburlay, whisper hold On, hold on On, I
am not anti Kremberlay I'm mister Kremberlay. Okay, you can
call me Papa cream. No, no, don't call me that,
but I'm I love Kremberlay. The joke was Buck Sexton
eating pistachio cremberlay.
Speaker 1 (34:17):
Which I didn't even know that was a thing on
election night.
Speaker 9 (34:20):
You should be having chicken wings and pizza something American.
Speaker 1 (34:24):
On election night. I don't even know what that is. Buck.
You uh tumakupe missieur Kelly. Okay, you cut me deeply, sir.
Speaker 2 (34:37):
Uh let me say before Jesse can knock the pistachio kremberlay.
I want us to all be very clear. I think
he needs to try some pistachio cremberlay. And we have
Luke from Wisconsin. I did not make Luke write this.
Luke wrote in on our VIP go to claybuck dot
com sign up. Hey guys, I have to say, as
(34:58):
a man who is very comfortable own testosterone and who
have spent much time cooking, I fully support having pistachio cremboulay.
Eating a tasty dessert with salty nuts is much better
than any type of Brussels sprouts.
Speaker 1 (35:12):
Just saying, Travis, you're gonna lose this one.
Speaker 2 (35:15):
Buck Wins, brilliant man and an expert in the culinary arts,
coming in off the top rope, telling Clay to take
his chicken wings somewhere else.
Speaker 3 (35:23):
I'd look the Brussels sprouts. I'm gonna continue to defend
excellent dish. I'll just point out that Jesse Kelly has
ordered seventy five dollars tequila shots. You have been eating
pistachio crim brulet. The only person here who is really
talking to Middle America on a daily basis is me.
(35:43):
I'm just a you know, normal guy sitting here shoveling
in some Brussels sprouts, occasionally letting Americans know what are
appropriate side dishes to order to make sure that the
entire table is satisfied.
Speaker 1 (35:56):
That's all I'm gonna say.
Speaker 3 (35:58):
You can have some amaze pistachio crim brulet over the
next couple of days, maybe even during commercial breaks during.
Speaker 1 (36:05):
The course of the show. I will be back on Monday.
Cannot wait.
Speaker 3 (36:09):
I'll be in Athens, Georgia this weekend for the Tennessee
Georgia game. So if we've got listeners that are gonna
be in that area, maybe I'll run across you guys.
I'll be on Big Noon Kickoff Saturday. Other than that, Buck,
I don't think I have any other media. Gonna take
a couple of days, celebrate the Trump win, and be
back with you on Monday.
Speaker 1 (36:27):
Can't wait.
Speaker 2 (36:29):
I promise the uh, the Freedom Hut here will be
left standing when you return. And we're gonna miss our
man Clay, but he's gonna go have some fun for
a few days. I'll be with you solo tomorrow and Friday.
Be sure to tune in. We're gonna have a great time.
Welcome to today's edition of the Clay Travis and Buck
Sexton Show Podcast.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
Third hour of Clay and Buck and a lot going on,
my friends. The all star team being assembled as we
speak for this Trump two point zero administration. Our buddy
Pete Hegseth in for Secretary of Defense, John Ratcliffe in
as CIA director. You've got Elon and Viveke. They're almost
(00:26):
like Brazilian soccer players. You can just say one name
for them, now, you know what I mean. Ronaldo slash,
Elon slash Vivike, thevicant Elon in together on the DOGE
the Department of Government Efficiency. We're gonna discuss that here
coming up. Also, who else is in the in the
new category we mentioned Lee Zelden, EPA, Christy Nome, DHS
(00:49):
chief Tom Holman. The borders are uh Susie Wilds. Chief
of staff is Steven Miller. Is that official that he's deputy?
Officially official?
Speaker 3 (00:58):
Taylor Buttowitch, who's been with him for a long time,
done great work. Also, Dan Scavino. All of those guys
from inside the team have been have been officially announced
as members of the Trump administration, and so Trump himself
DC sitting by the fire with Joe Biden talking about
(01:19):
being back in the White House.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
Let's get into this is cut one, Trump and Biden
hanging out telling war stories.
Speaker 1 (01:25):
You know, no big deal. Play cut one.
Speaker 4 (01:27):
Forward to having a like we said, a smooth transition
to everything.
Speaker 5 (01:32):
We can make sure you're a combinaated what you need.
Speaker 1 (01:35):
I'm gonna get a chance to talk to us on
out today. It's good.
Speaker 6 (01:38):
Welcome, Thank you, Jenny, thank you very much. And politics
is tough, and it's many cases not a very nice world.
But it is a nice world today and I appreciate
it very much. A transition that's so smooth, it'll be
as smooth as.
Speaker 7 (01:55):
You can get.
Speaker 6 (01:55):
And I very much appreciate that.
Speaker 1 (01:57):
Joe, you are think you are.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
All right, Obian. I have a sports analogy for you here.
This is two fighters who have gone the full distance,
thrown everything they have at each other. Trump won, He's
had his gloves raised in the air, but he's actually
going over and giving a hug to a worthy opponent
here afterwards.
Speaker 1 (02:25):
That's what it looked like a little bit to me.
Speaker 2 (02:26):
It's like, all right, I won, but you fought hard,
and there's some respect that comes with fighting hard, even
if you're Joe Biden.
Speaker 3 (02:33):
I think that's a good analogy. Trump has talked to
The New York Post already, and there are some quotes here,
Buck that I think you'll enjoy. This just popped in
the last few minutes. He told the New York Post
that that he and Biden quote, both really enjoyed seeing
each other. You know, it's been long, long slog. It's
(02:54):
been a lot of work on both sides. He did
a very good job with respect to campaigning and everything else.
Really had a good meeting. These are quotes from Trump
on meeting Biden. He also said, let's see that he
and Biden discussed Ukraine and also what should happen. I
asked for his views, He gave them to me, and
(03:16):
we talked very much about the Middle East. I wanted
to know his views on where we are and what
he thinks, and he gave them to me. He was
very gracious. Okay, this is Trump being nice. This is
Biden being nice. A week ago Trump was hitler. Now, Buck,
there are pictures of both men smiling in front of
(03:36):
a roaring fireplace in the White House. Here's my thing
that I wish many of you out there would understand,
but particularly a lot of leftists who.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
Are never going to hear this. The people telling you
that he.
Speaker 3 (03:48):
Was Hitler never actually believed it. They said it because
it was politically expedient. Now it's one thing for them
to show how quickly. I mean, if you really thought
Trump was Hitler, you wouldn't talk about how important it
was to have a smooth transition. You wouldn't talk about
how you're glad that American democracy has had a voice.
You would say, somebody needs to kill this guy or
(04:10):
else he's going to destroy the world. That's not what
they're saying, because they never actually believed it. But here's
the problem, buck, They don't tell they're more on followers
out there who were trying to kill Trump, who were
shaving off all their heads, who are saying that they're
not going to have kids, who are saying that they're
not going to sleep with their significant others anymore. They
(04:32):
are allowing their mental health instability to be taken what
they're saying about him being Hitler at face value as
if it's true. They don't have the ability or the
willingness to turn off the election season.
Speaker 1 (04:48):
Because I really think this, and I hate to say it.
Speaker 3 (04:52):
I think a solid twenty percent of America, overwhelmingly on
the left, has profound mental illness, and Democrats are preying
on that mental illness in an effort to drive up
turnout to the best of their ability, even though they
know what they're saying about Trump isn't true.
Speaker 1 (05:11):
I think that this is inescapable, is the conclusion.
Speaker 7 (05:16):
Now.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
It's why I CNN at MSNBC and the ratings are dropping,
because even those audiences have had to reckon with They
were lied to about the prospects of Kamala winning, they
were lied to about the horror of a Trump victory.
They they should be if I were an msn you
know what, Clay, I am an MSNBC.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
You are you your your wheelhouse, that's you know.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
I'm I'm like sitting there drinking my crack at coffee,
watching Morning Joe, just to see how they're trying to
destroy the Republic. But if I were ideologically aligned with them,
if I actually believe the stuff instead of watched it
for some kind of like you know, the weird pleasure
I get out of seeing these lunatics make fools of themselves,
I would be very disappointed in the way that they
(06:02):
have presented pretty much everything in this campaign. I mean,
let's not forget, just to name one, Joe Scarborough earlier
this year said that Joe Biden was not just sharp,
but the sharpest he's ever been. You can't come back,
you can't come back from that lie. If anyone, anybody
with a high IQ who cares about accountability and credibility
knows that Joe Scarborough is a fraud, an absolute fraud,
(06:24):
will say absolutely anything, and it's true of a lot
of others over there as well. I think that Trump
is moving things in a direction right now where it
will be very hard for them in the anti Trump media.
You know, CNN should have stayed where it was center left.
It was center left. Now it wasn't center, but it was,
you know, everything to the left of center. But you
(06:45):
know some people that weren't completely insane. It went full
left wing under Trump term one because of Jeff Zucker
and his personal feud with Trump. So he turned it
into an anti It was like the death star of
anti trump Ism. And we all know what happened to
the death star. So I think Clay, this time around,
they're going to have to do a total reshuffling of
(07:05):
how they cover these things. Because Trump is going to
do good things, including some of the picks that he's made,
I wanted to bring us back to that for a
second look. The CIA director, that's mostly going to be
a cleanup and streamlining job. I think under Trump term
two and this has gone to Ratcliffe, and I think
(07:26):
that that's a strong pick. He was d and I
before he knows the intel community, the intel community, and
I come from it. I know what I'm talking about.
Under the War on Terror, rubric Clay got so big
that it turned It's almost like Skynet and Terminator two
when it became self aware. The intelligence bureaucracy got so
big and so just bloated, and it's able to hide
(07:50):
so much of what it does from real scrutiny under
classification that it needs a dramatic remodeling. And that means
some of the load bearing walls are actually gonna have
to gonna get got, you know what I mean, They're
gonna have to swing some sledgehammers here. I think he's
the right man for that job. Elon and viveg in
the Government Accountability or sorry, government whatever's it called, DOGE
(08:15):
Department of Government Accountability, DOGE a Department of Government efficiency
rather DOGE. I think they're gonna do a really good job.
And then you also have Pete hag Seth. This was
the one that's got them completely freaking out. Let's remind
everybody of some wisdom from Rush Clay. The team pulled this.
When you're talking about the Pentagon, you're not necessarily talking
(08:37):
about warriors at the top. You're talking about politicians and bureaucrats.
Here's what Rush said years ago, seeing this for what
it was.
Speaker 8 (08:46):
Player all kinds of generals and leaders in the Pentagon,
or your generals, politically correct generals, others that are devoted
entirely to the bureaucracy. They're more concerned doing what they've
got to do to climb the Pentagon ladder of success
rather than actually be warrior generals.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
Play same thing. The CIA, by the way, one hundred accurate.
And I think Pete Hegseath is going to go in
there and shake it up. I don't even think it's
unique to Pentagon. I think it's just a CIA. It's
the same thing I tell you I should said. I
don't even think it's unique to government.
Speaker 3 (09:27):
There are tons of people in every employment imaginable that
don't do what's best for the organization. They play the
politics that leads to their advancement the best. Every one
of you listening to us right now, if I asked you,
you could say, oh, yeah, that's so and so who
has worked alongside of you. Don't care at all about
(09:50):
the right decisions being made by the business or the
entity that you're working for. They are just trying to
advance themselves the best of their ability. What's the great
line about the faculty lounge in at universities. It's something
along the lines of never have so many tried so
(10:11):
hard for something that is worth so little?
Speaker 8 (10:14):
Meaning.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
If you're the.
Speaker 3 (10:15):
Head of the Romance languages at Swarthmore, you are just
fighting tooth and nail to advance, Like is it gonna
be the Italian professor or is it gonna be the
French professor who manages to chair the department. Nobody freaking cares,
but they're knifing each other proverbially in back alleys inside
(10:36):
of these universities to chair the Romance languages, not at
all caring about whether the overall university is advancing in
any way. It's climbing that career ladder at a just
a little bit higher rung. And I don't mean trying
to found something that would otherwise not exist like Elon.
Speaker 1 (10:53):
I mean in existing institutions.
Speaker 3 (10:55):
Because I think startups and I think new businesses are
very different. That's why of like working at fusty old
organizations buying large butt because it's so frustrating because so
many people are just trying to preserve whatever they have
as opposed to trying to build something new.
Speaker 2 (11:09):
Kind of I want to add to a little perspective,
you know. Again Clay having worked in a massive federal
bureaucracy twice, a federal bureacraty twice, I'm sold.
Speaker 1 (11:21):
I don't think I could do it. I would lose
my mind.
Speaker 2 (11:22):
I worked in the CIA, which for government is leaning mean,
just to be clear, like CIA, when I was there,
they were I mean, they were getting like something like
hundreds of thousands of applications a year to work there.
I mean, it's just insane, like CIA was. Remember it's
post nine to eleven, the post nine to eleven CIA.
Everybody was like, oh my gosh, all hands on deck.
You know, a lot of people military, but a lot
(11:43):
of people want to go in and find in laden
and that's what the CIA's job was. But I'll say this, it's,
you know, we we don't.
Speaker 1 (11:50):
Want to be because I know we have a lot
of government people listen to us.
Speaker 2 (11:52):
And as I said, there's a portion of these different entities,
especially when you're talking about anything in the national security
realm or the patriot badasses that we want in those places.
And whether that's FBI or CIA or you know, obviously
anywhere in the DoD complex. That is reality, and we
never want to lose sight of that. And maybe it's
more like twenty percent on some of these entities. Fine,
(12:13):
but Clay, having worked in these places, it's not always
the fault, especially for the kind of for the mid performers,
you know, for the big lump in the middle. They
make it impossible to be excellent. The culture of these
places excellence. I used to say this to my friends
(12:34):
in the CIA when I was in the CIA, Excellence
is punished. You're not supposed to be excellent. You're supposed
to do what the heck you're told by the person
immediately above you. So your performance review says, I do
what I'm told. Now I can't speak to the military side.
We have a huge military audience. You guys can speak
to that. But on the intel side, there's the restructuring
(12:56):
of these places. There's a lot of human capital, a
lot of human talent in these entities. You know, some
people have just got to go this is not for them.
Put that aside. There are other people where if you
had someone like an Elon look at what's really going
on and unleash them state agencies, federal agencies, we do
need government. We're not lunatics, they would do. I mean,
(13:18):
what I'm saying is you can create more high performers
with a change in culture too. I don't think we
should forget that part of this as well. There are
people who if the CIA had been a little less
bureaucratic and stifling, they'd still be their clay and they
were badasses, brilliant patriots, great people in general.
Speaker 3 (13:37):
If you move fast and break things, you don't work
very well in a bureaucracy. And that's where I'm kind
of intrigued to see how Elon and Vivek are going
to fit in in terms of their government efficiency movements.
Government is the is the foundation of inefficiency, and so
when you have someone like an Elon or a Vivek
(13:57):
who wants to move fast and break things, I'm curious
how that discordant connection is going to work and just
how many roadblocks are going to be put up from
them being able to do what's actually best for the country.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
I view this as a Trump's got it on the
tax I mean, and I don't want to be dismissive
of this, like, oh, that's no big deal, but Trump's
got it on taxes and trade policy, and entrepreneurs are
all so excited and M and A activity is going
to be up, and your wages are going to go
up and prices are going to go down. We're we
almost take that. I mean, just seeven says of how
spoiled we are by this victory. I think we almost
take that, for granted, Clay, But the big hills that
(14:32):
have to be taken, the deportation mission of criminal illegals,
and this government efficiency streamlining, because that's a part of
dealing with our deficit, of dealing with our debt, of
starting to move in that direction, which I understand that
is a massive mountain, that is thirty six trillion dollars, right,
But this is absolutely critical, critical stuff. So we're gonna
(14:54):
be following that part of the mission very closely. We're
also going to follow the mission to defend life very closely.
And so many of you have stepped up. And I mean,
I am personally grateful because I've sat down with the
founders of Preborn and I've looked into their eyes and
they've looked into mine, and they know that there is
a sense that this is a mission from God to
(15:17):
protect as many babies as possible. And that's how I
feel about this. That's how they feel every day. That's
how their staffs view their mission. And these preborn clinics,
here's what they do. There are women out there who
are in a difficult situation, a lot of different stories
about this. Some of them get tremendous pressure, perhaps from
they would be father, perhaps from their families, or perhaps
(15:37):
they just don't think they have the resources to know how.
They're scared and they're pregnant. They go into a preborn
clinic and you know what, they get love, support and help.
The first thing that Preborn does they say, look, before
you make any decision about life for your baby, we're
going to give you a free ultrasound We're just going
to give you an ultrasound. You can see the baby,
and when the mom sees that little heartbeat, overwhelmingly she
(15:59):
just realized, this is a tiny child. I want to
have my baby, and it is a beautiful thing. And
that's not the end of it, of course, that's just
the beginning those ultrasounds from there. Preborn for two years
leading up to birth, of course, but then two years
after birth, they will give support, food, medicine, job search, assistance, counseling,
(16:20):
whatever they can do to help those moms to be
become moms with their little boy or little girl. It's
amazing and so many of you have stepped up and donated,
and we're so grateful, and I know there are many
of you out there who are just waiting for the
right opportunity, and maybe that's today. An ultrasound that you
can sponsor is just twenty eight dollars. One hundred and
forty dollars would sponsor five ultrasounds. Now that could very
(16:42):
well lead to a few years, you know, five little
boys and girls running around living their lives. This is
what Preborn's mission is. To donate. Dial pound two fifty
on your cell phone, say the keyword baby. That's pound
two five zero say baby, or visit preborn dot com
slash buck preborn dot com slash buk. All gifts are
(17:06):
tax deductible, and Preborn has a four star charity reading
sponsored by Preborn.
Speaker 1 (17:19):
Buck.
Speaker 3 (17:20):
Sexton savagely attacked I think justifiably over his celebratory pistachio Crimbreulay.
Speaker 1 (17:28):
We will unpack and.
Speaker 2 (17:29):
Discuss pistachios fired, Clay, pistachios fired.
Speaker 1 (17:34):
We will talk all of this and more.
Speaker 3 (17:36):
But I want to tell you, uh, maybe you need
some testosterone in your life, so you're not celebrating with pistachio.
Crimbruley just saying, go to chalk dot com right now,
choq dot com. Our friend Seaton from the Great State
of Texas has built an all natural mail supplement that
will increase your overall testosterone level by twenty percent if
(17:56):
you take it for three months. They have it for
women too. Bobby does not need it. Eighty two year
old Bobby, who called in at the end of the
last hour. I bet she had a perm in nineteen
eighty two used baby oil to tan. She doesn't need
female vitality stack, but maybe you do. Maybe you do.
If you're a man too. I'm telling you right now.
Go to choq dot com. You can also use my
(18:18):
name Clay lowest subscription cost for life, but you can
also call five zero chalk three thousand. Some of you
out there would really rather talk to a real life American,
that is, someone on the phone in the United States
to ask your question. You can check out the website
choq dot com. But five zero chalk three thousand is
the phone number. You tell them, Clay Sentshia, you'll get
(18:40):
the best deal on subscription for life.
Speaker 1 (18:42):
Chalk dot com. Five zero chalk three thousand.
Speaker 2 (18:53):
The numbers my friends are in an official Oh get
ready for it.
Speaker 1 (18:58):
We need some kind of like happy music to play
in the back round.
Speaker 7 (19:00):
Ooo.
Speaker 1 (19:01):
Trump won the presidency. We know that won the Senate
for Republicans.
Speaker 2 (19:05):
We know that House of Representatives officially now called Republican
The trifecta of my friends, the Big three, the presidency,
the Senate, the House of Representatives, Republicans in control of government.
You love to see it. Very exciting stuff. It's gonna
be a two seat pickup. It looks like it's going
(19:25):
to be.
Speaker 3 (19:26):
Yeah, it looks like it's gonna be two twenty two
you need too eighteen for a majority.
Speaker 1 (19:32):
Uh, I believe.
Speaker 3 (19:33):
According to our crew in New York right now there
are some open seats, but Republicans had two twenty so
it looks like two twenty two is going to be
the new number, which is basically a plus two, a
status quo election. In fact, Democrats will have done better
in the House than they would have in the national
popular vote. Just fyi. But again key component here, House, Senate,
(19:59):
White House, a clean sweep, a red wave or even
red tsunami if you would for Donald Trump with his
three hundred and twelve electoral votes now complete control of
the House and Senate too. A little spiking the football
here via numbers with Harry entin Over at CNN. In
terms of the Trump numbers across liberal cities, this has
(20:22):
cut thirteen.
Speaker 1 (20:22):
Listen to this.
Speaker 5 (20:23):
Donald Trump put up the best Republican performance for a
Republican nominee for president and at least twenty years, if
not the entire twenty first century. We're talking about Chicago,
Los Angeles, New York City, San Francisco across the map.
Donald Trump put up historically strong numbers for Republican candidate
for president in places that. Truthfully, if you had asked
(20:43):
me eight years ago, I would have never thought possible.
Speaker 9 (20:46):
No, I mean it is really stunning.
Speaker 1 (20:48):
So what exactly is driving it? What's driving it? You know?
Speaker 5 (20:52):
I think immigration was part of it, but I think
crime is a big part of it as well. What
you see is the dissatisfaction number now versus.
Speaker 1 (20:58):
A decade ago.
Speaker 5 (20:59):
Look at that unsatisfied number from thirty five percent to
fifty eight percent. The satisfied number drop by twenty points.
Speaker 2 (21:07):
Clay, I gotta tell you, I think you know, we
were talking about whether they double down on the crazy
or run toward the center on the trans issue, and
I think there's a case to be made in both directions.
Speaker 1 (21:17):
We talked about that.
Speaker 2 (21:18):
I think Democrats are going to have to go back
to where they were in the nineties on the crime thing,
where they're not going to be fully on board, but
they are going to move toward, if not the center,
towards sanity. Nobody wants to be in a city where
old people are being bludgeoned by maniacs who are half
naked or fully naked running around the street when they
(21:38):
should be incarcerated because they've already been arrested fifty times.
Speaker 3 (21:42):
It looks like again because California is voting so slowly,
we don't even freaking know yet. I think they're still
at like eighty two or eighty three percent eight days
later of the vote, tallly looks like Trump's gonna lose
California by around twenty points, which is actually pretty good
for a Republican in recent history, and his one reason
he's winning the popular vote because he's not losing California
(22:04):
by thirty points or some such. But also buck if
you go behind the numbers. Californians overwhelmingly voted to end
essentially amnesty for shoplifting and say, hey, let's actually.
Speaker 1 (22:17):
Enforce the laws so we don't have to.
Speaker 3 (22:18):
Have toothpaste behind lock and key because everything is getting stolen.
Speaker 1 (22:23):
They overwhelmingly voted in general for sanity to return.
Speaker 3 (22:29):
The DA in La lost, the mayor in San Francisco lost,
the number of left leaning state office holders who gave
up their jobs because finally, so many Californians just got
fed up with incompetence. Voting for Trump was a bridge
too far, Voting for sanity was not, and even voting
(22:51):
for Trump.
Speaker 1 (22:52):
He swung a lot of people even in California.
Speaker 2 (22:55):
Do you have a little soft spot for Carville from
back in the day, Clay just because he was kind
of one of the earth early's in our business, or
would you say you like Carville a bit of those guys,
because I'm about to play a Carville clip, But I
feel like you have a respect for Carville?
Speaker 1 (23:08):
Am I missing? Am I?
Speaker 9 (23:09):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (23:09):
No, I think that's true.
Speaker 3 (23:10):
Look, I like people who tell you exactly what they think,
even if sometimes I disagree with them, and that's actually
rare in media, whether it's on the left or the right.
Speaker 1 (23:21):
You talked about Joe Scarborough, I have no respect for him.
Speaker 3 (23:23):
If he sometimes had intelligent takes, I would say, you know,
I disagree with him. But when he tells us that
eighty two year old Joe Biden is the best version
of Biden, it's such a propagandistic lie that I can't
trust him anymore.
Speaker 1 (23:38):
Carville. Would you know?
Speaker 2 (23:39):
Carville can't be he can't be totally crazy. He's married
to Mary Madeline, who who I know is a lovely person,
and I believe actually guest hosted for Rush at one point.
So yeah, he did the team remind me, so you know,
he's got his feet on the ground. He may see
things differently or wrongly on a bunch of things, but
he's not one of these Democrats who lives on another planet.
I bring this up because I think he sees what's
(24:01):
been done to the Democrat Party of the nineties where
he had a strong voice in the Clinton era, and
he's like, do you guys wanted to keep getting your
butts kicked? This has cut sixteen play it.
Speaker 7 (24:11):
All of the Washington based Democrats farting around, going to
wine and cheese parties and talking about how masogy and
mistigations to get your ass out of Washington and go
work on a twenty twenty six campaign and do penance
to make up for your damn arrogance and stupidity. We're
not gonna say, well, We're going to say we told
you so. We told you this identity was disaster. We
(24:35):
told you to get out in front of public safety issues.
Speaker 1 (24:38):
You didn't. You didn't.
Speaker 7 (24:39):
We told you to have an open process and demonstrate
the magnificent and staggering and deep talented exist in the
mind Democrat Party.
Speaker 1 (24:47):
You didn't.
Speaker 7 (24:48):
We told you to differentiate yourself a Biden. You didn't.
I hate to be some know at all, but all
of these things are part of the record. Now.
Speaker 2 (24:56):
I think he might have said Kamalo is going to win,
but I think that goes in the oh. I have
to push for my gal, you know, bucket of decision making.
But Clay, everything that he's saying there is true. And
it's funny because as an American, I hope that Democrats
listen to him. As a Republican, I kind of want
them to keep whinding about trans guys and women's sports.
Speaker 3 (25:19):
Listen to this buck. Christine Amanpour, who was probably the
Queen Christian christ Christie Apologize Christian, confronted him for saying
that there were too many preachy females in the Democrat
Party that were turning off male voters and asked him
about that directly, and he did not back down.
Speaker 1 (25:40):
Listen to this buck. You're gonna like cut twenty five
last spring, you said, you know, a suspicion of mine
is that there are too many preachy females dominating the
culture of the Democratic Party.
Speaker 3 (25:52):
Do you stand by that, females?
Speaker 7 (25:53):
Would you look at our male vote? Would somebody just
take a look at how we did with males and
how we did with non white males, and tell me
that the Democrats don't have a messaging problem, that the
message comes across as too feminine. I mean, of course,
if I was right when I said that, Yeah, I
don't think there's not a person in the world I
(26:14):
talked to that doubts that I'm right.
Speaker 1 (26:17):
Right now.
Speaker 7 (26:17):
I say provocative things to get a provocative reaction.
Speaker 1 (26:21):
Yeah, but are you really?
Speaker 7 (26:22):
Are somebody going to really tell me we don't have
a problem with male voters.
Speaker 2 (26:26):
Can I tell you I like Salty Carville, who's going
around dunking on his own team.
Speaker 1 (26:30):
It's pretty funny. Well, look, he's a dude. This is
what I said. You asked a good question, like who
is the face of the Democrat Party? Right now?
Speaker 3 (26:39):
Let me just ask this question of men. Can you
name a Democrat you'd like to have a beer with?
That was a question back in the day, And I
understand Biden and Trump neither one drink, so.
Speaker 1 (26:49):
It's a figurative thing.
Speaker 3 (26:50):
Can you name a guy that you'd like to have
chicken wings with and watch Buffalo wings and watch a
football game with? Can you name a Democrat you wouldn't
being seated next to at a big football game. I
can't name one buck. I can't name a dude in
the Democrat Party right now that leave aside politics. I
(27:12):
would like to have a beer with sit and watch
a football game with. I just want to say to everybody,
I don't want to forget. I don't want to let
just either things in the past go like this right.
Speaker 4 (27:21):
Now, somewhere, Gavin Newsom, he's crying tears that his man,
Clay Travis. They used to sit on the beach in Malibu.
He had three shirt buttons down, you know, talking to Clay,
drinking his chardonnay from his own vineyard, Clay fro picked
by his own hands, talking about democracy, and now Clay
is just bailing on Handsome Newsom look at this.
Speaker 3 (27:43):
To be fair to Newsome, he might be my pick
if I had to pick somebody, but I wouldn't be
excited about it. This would be like three am at
the bar and there's not a lot of girls left,
and there's not a lot of.
Speaker 1 (27:55):
Guys left either.
Speaker 3 (27:56):
And you don't typically end up with the homecoming King
and the homecoming I mean queen riding off into the
sunset at three am from your neighborhood bar.
Speaker 1 (28:04):
I'm just gonna I'm gonna say this and it might
get uh, you know, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (28:08):
I got to ask our good puddy, a good buddy,
Sean Parnell, who's you know, mister Pennsylvania Army veteran, great
guy on our Clay and Buck podcast network, by the way,
which you should definitely listen to him. There he does
Battleground by Sean Parnell. You know, if you had to
have a if you have a Democrat you sit down
with to have a normal conversation, right now, somebody who's
I'm sure there's some members of the House who are
actually pretty.
Speaker 1 (28:28):
Normal dudes, but we just don't really know who they are.
Speaker 2 (28:30):
I mean, maybe I'm giving them too much credit, but
there's probably you know, there's some veterans in there who
unfortunately have been led astray by like.
Speaker 1 (28:37):
Oh it's about like women's choice over their bodies or whatever.
Speaker 2 (28:40):
Butterman, I think Fetterman, I he he's not technically an
independent yet, right, I think he's going in that still direction.
Speaker 1 (28:49):
He's still a Democrat.
Speaker 3 (28:50):
Now. The reason I hate take a shot, I don't
know that Fetterman can have actually a great conversation. Chilling
side by side, right, I mean just I mean, is
he a fun guy to hang out with and chat.
I think he's been one hundred percent right on Israel.
I think he's right on a lot of things that
he tweets. But is he gonna be thinking.
Speaker 2 (29:06):
He's a pretty normal I think he's a pretty normal
dude in so far as you could say things to him.
I mean, here's the real test. Yeah, like the real
pro test. Okay, And this is again, they always try
to make this about something.
Speaker 7 (29:18):
It's not.
Speaker 2 (29:19):
If somebody is a trans adult, you speak to that
human being with dignity, with kindness they're a fellow American,
or just a fellow human being if they're not American.
I mean, you know, it's not about being unkind or
mean to people. But in the sports issue, now, this
is about consequences for other people. This isn't just an
individual choice. This is and women have been hurt. And
as a man, men hurting women makes any real man
(29:43):
very pissed off. Okay, anytime any guy who's truly a
man hears about a woman, whether it's a guy who's
abusing a spouse or a girlfriend, or a guy who's
beating up girls in the boxing ring.
Speaker 1 (29:56):
You know this pisss off normal.
Speaker 2 (29:59):
Men, right, And if you sit down you have that
conversation and you say, don't isn't it crazy? This is
really a litmus test any guy you sit down with
and you say, this biological male is you know, breaking
all the records for women in the sport?
Speaker 1 (30:12):
Isn't that gross?
Speaker 2 (30:13):
If they don't agree, then the woke mind virus has
gotten them and their t levels are dropping and they're
not really a man. That's just where we are now.
And I don't there a letterman would go along with
you know what I mean. I think Fetterman would say, yeah,
you're right, that's crazy.
Speaker 1 (30:26):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (30:26):
And by the way, it also can just be that
they're not willing to speak truth to their party because
they're afraid of what just happens.
Speaker 1 (30:33):
I need one on one, Clay to be clear. I
just want to because I've had this.
Speaker 2 (30:37):
I've had this with Democrats and I will not out
them because I have friends who are Democrats, or they're like, yeah,
that that transport stuff is nuts, and then they will
go on MSNBC.
Speaker 1 (30:46):
And be like trans women are real women, you know.
Speaker 2 (30:49):
Because they don't want that, they don't want the hate
they don't want the death threats. I have friends who
have gone wrong rogue if you will, on the trans thing,
meaning they're like, yeah, you have a penis, you're a man,
and they get death threats for it, real thing.
Speaker 3 (31:03):
I feel good about their chances of winning the battle there.
I don't think there's I'm not worried about a chick
who's pretending to be a dude taking hold.
Speaker 1 (31:13):
No, no, no, that happens.
Speaker 2 (31:13):
It's never This is important though, Clay, I'm sorry. It's
not trans people sending the death threats. It's not trans people.
It's people who are so upset about the wrong speak
on the trans issue that they become violent and insane.
Speaker 1 (31:28):
You know what, it's basically whitegre can say it's white progressives.
They're the ones that are the craziest.
Speaker 3 (31:35):
And they're also the ones, to James Carvel's point, who
are destroying the Democrat Party. And so far we're not
seeing a lot of self reflection about how broken some
of these arguments are and how dishonest they are. And again,
I would just circle back. I mean, I'm curious what
your answers would be. Can you name a guy who's
an elected national Democrat? Figure that's statewide or certainly a
(31:56):
governor who thinks about running for president.
Speaker 1 (31:59):
I can't name that i'd want to summon success.
Speaker 2 (32:01):
Moulton would have been high on the list, and you've
been pointing out he stepped into this trans bear trap.
If you will, I mean he's a pretty normalish seamen dude.
I mean he seems somewhat dude like. I mean, give
him credit for actually being willing to speak out. But
I think this is why the man issue with Democrats
is not going away. I think it's going to get
worse in twenty eight before it gets better again. We'll
(32:22):
see if they can have somebody emerge who is not
very well known right now to combat this.
Speaker 3 (32:26):
But I just don't see it. William Gilbert enlisted in
the US Army to become part of something meaningful. He
loved the sense of brotherhood that came with being in
the army. William thrived in the Army, showing a real
bravery and mastery of the skills.
Speaker 7 (32:39):
There.
Speaker 3 (32:39):
He received a good Conduct medal, a non Article five
NATO Medal, a Purple Heart, and a bronze Star medal.
While on patrol, one day, a soldier from William squad
stepped on an ied as William and others tried to help.
Another ied detonated, resulting in the tragic death of William
and two of his fellow soldiers. William left behind his
pregnant wife, Monica and their kids. The Tunnel of the
(33:03):
Towers Foundation provided his family with a mortgage free home,
although William was never able to meet his youngest daughter,
she's the epitome of everything he was. Honor heroes like
United States Army specialist E four William Gilbert join us
in donating eleven dollars a month to Tunnel to the
Towers at t twot dot org. That's t the number
(33:23):
two t dot org. Buck's gonna have the show Thursday Friday.
I'll be back with you Monday, So try not to
burn anything down or have too much of a party
atmosphere or Buck while I'm gone, And maybe you can
(33:44):
kick back at the end of one of those days
and have your pistachio. Crimbrewlay, but this Jesse Kelly's show
not pleased with the decision.
Speaker 1 (33:55):
Here was his show last night.
Speaker 9 (33:56):
Listen Anti Crimburlay, whisper hold On, hold on On, I
am not anti Kremberlay I'm mister Kremberlay. Okay, you can
call me Papa cream. No, no, don't call me that,
but I'm I love Kremberlay. The joke was Buck Sexton
eating pistachio cremberlay.
Speaker 1 (34:17):
Which I didn't even know that was a thing on
election night.
Speaker 9 (34:20):
You should be having chicken wings and pizza something American.
Speaker 1 (34:24):
On election night. I don't even know what that is. Buck.
You uh tumakupe missieur Kelly. Okay, you cut me deeply, sir.
Speaker 2 (34:37):
Uh let me say before Jesse can knock the pistachio kremberlay.
I want us to all be very clear. I think
he needs to try some pistachio cremberlay. And we have
Luke from Wisconsin. I did not make Luke write this.
Luke wrote in on our VIP go to claybuck dot
com sign up. Hey guys, I have to say, as
(34:58):
a man who is very comfortable own testosterone and who
have spent much time cooking, I fully support having pistachio cremboulay.
Eating a tasty dessert with salty nuts is much better
than any type of Brussels sprouts.
Speaker 1 (35:12):
Just saying, Travis, you're gonna lose this one.
Speaker 2 (35:15):
Buck Wins, brilliant man and an expert in the culinary arts,
coming in off the top rope, telling Clay to take
his chicken wings somewhere else.
Speaker 3 (35:23):
I'd look the Brussels sprouts. I'm gonna continue to defend
excellent dish. I'll just point out that Jesse Kelly has
ordered seventy five dollars tequila shots. You have been eating
pistachio crim brulet. The only person here who is really
talking to Middle America on a daily basis is me.
(35:43):
I'm just a you know, normal guy sitting here shoveling
in some Brussels sprouts, occasionally letting Americans know what are
appropriate side dishes to order to make sure that the
entire table is satisfied.
Speaker 1 (35:56):
That's all I'm gonna say.
Speaker 3 (35:58):
You can have some amaze pistachio crim brulet over the
next couple of days, maybe even during commercial breaks during.
Speaker 1 (36:05):
The course of the show. I will be back on Monday.
Cannot wait.
Speaker 3 (36:09):
I'll be in Athens, Georgia this weekend for the Tennessee
Georgia game. So if we've got listeners that are gonna
be in that area, maybe I'll run across you guys.
I'll be on Big Noon Kickoff Saturday. Other than that, Buck,
I don't think I have any other media. Gonna take
a couple of days, celebrate the Trump win, and be
back with you on Monday.
Speaker 1 (36:27):
Can't wait.
Speaker 2 (36:29):
I promise the uh, the Freedom Hut here will be
left standing when you return. And we're gonna miss our
man Clay, but he's gonna go have some fun for
a few days. I'll be with you solo tomorrow and Friday.
Be sure to tune in. We're gonna have a great time.
