Hour 2 of the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show delivers a dynamic mix of political commentary, personal stories, and listener engagement, continuing the momentum from the first hour. The segment opens with a discussion on the government shutdown and Donald Trump’s call to end the Senate filibuster to reopen federal operations. Trump also outlines his vision for election reform, including voter ID laws, restrictions on mail-in voting, and a return to single-day voting—topics that resonate strongly with the conservative base.
Clay shares his travel woes amid widespread airline cancellations, receiving support from fans including a Southwest pilot offering a standby ticket. This sparks a broader conversation about the show’s loyal audience and the challenges of navigating travel during government disruptions. The hosts take calls from listeners grading Trump’s first 10 months in office. Opinions range from a C-minus to an A-plus, with debates over Trump’s handling of the economy, border security, and crime. Buck and Clay defend Trump’s record, citing historic declines in violent crime in cities like Memphis and Washington, D.C., and emphasizing his success in securing the southern border. They argue that inflation and high prices are lingering effects of Biden-era economic mismanagement, not failures of Trump’s current administration.
The conversation shifts to the role of artificial intelligence in boosting productivity and long-term economic growth. Buck shares insights from his visit to Taiwan’s TSMC and predicts that AI will transform daily life and improve quality of living, despite current frustrations over inflation and affordability.
Clay and Buck also react to Zohran Mamdani’s rent-freeze proposal in New York City, warning that such policies worsen long-term affordability. They emphasize the need for market-driven solutions rather than government intervention. In a lighter segment, Clay announces that President Trump will attend the Washington Commanders vs. Detroit Lions game for a Veterans Day celebration, sitting in the owner’s box—a move likely to generate media buzz.
The hour features a compelling interview with Dr. Marc Siegel, Fox News medical analyst and author of Miracles Among Us. Siegel discusses the intersection of faith and science, recounting miraculous recoveries including DeMar Hamlin’s cardiac arrest on the field and the role of prayer, preparation, and divine intervention in healing. He also shares personal stories and emphasizes the power of hope and spirituality in medicine.
Listener talkbacks add humor and camaraderie, including praise for Buck’s 100 mph tennis serve and playful challenges for Clay to swim from Alcatraz. The hosts wrap up with reflections on their audience’s generosity and Clay’s book Balls, reinforcing their connection with fans and their commitment to authentic, engaging content.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Second hour of Clay and Buck kicks off. Now, everybody
appreciate you being with us. We're having a great Friday already.
Definitely want to take a lot of your talk facts,
your BP emails, your live calls of course eight at
eight two eight hundred two eight two eight a two.
Speaker 2 (00:17):
Now you're going to cross me up.
Speaker 1 (00:19):
I guys, what I just forgot my own call number.
Speaker 3 (00:22):
It's been like two a two two eight a two Buck,
I said it right right. I think you just you
you questioned yourself as you went through it. Every now
and then that happens to me too. One thing that
has happened in the era of smartphones. I it's actually
a point of anxiety for me. I do not know
any phone numbers correct.
Speaker 1 (00:40):
And back in the day when I when we had
old school answering machines. Remember you sit there and you
were like in college or whatever, or maybe you were
a young guy in your twenties. You had your voicemail
and you're like, hey, I'm not like trying to sound cool.
I'm just casual and want you to leave your message
(01:01):
at the beep. You know, remember all that stuff. Don't
lie to me. A lot of you did over and over.
You did multiple takes over and over again of your
answering machine voicemail. So that was very, very much a throwback.
But yes, so Clay, let's dive in, shall we. Let's
dive into what Trump is saying about the filibuster, about affordability,
(01:25):
about all of that good stuff. Oh and I was
just gonna say, it's back in the day. He used
to remember all the phone numbers too. I still remember friends
from high school's phone number. I remember my high school
phone number to this day.
Speaker 3 (01:39):
Yes, but I can't remember any other numbers either, because
everything's in the phone and you, you know, pull up
somebody's name and have no idea. By the way, loaded lines,
a lot of good feedback to coming in, a lot
of people reacting to our boy who called in from
Ohio and gave Trump and f on the first ten months.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
Yeah, yeah, Yeah, that's that's going to get the That's
going to get the folks riled up. Speaking of Trump
here he is. Look, he's saying it. He wants the
filibuster und it right now at least to open the
government that I agree with. Look, you're going to say
this is a bit of a change. Yeah, but this
is a change that we can live with. If I
(02:18):
don't think Republicans should be able to end minority demand
sixty votes to open the government.
Speaker 2 (02:23):
Yeah, that's crazy.
Speaker 1 (02:24):
I think Democrats should be able to do this in
minority either. This is sabotage of the system that the
system did not predetermine should exist. Here's Trump play four.
Speaker 4 (02:33):
Well, I think it's time for them to end the
filibuster and just put everybody back to where vote in,
voter ID, vote in, no mail in voting except for military,
far away military and people that are very sick. No,
I'd like to see one day voting. I'd like to see,
not sixty five days of voting from all over the place. Though,
(02:56):
I'd like to clean up the elections. The border. We've
done rage up. We have a great strong boarder. Now
we'd kind of like to see and new rules on
immigration that could be fair and good, you know, rules
that you'll never get, the rules that they're never get
to get. There's so many things we could put in,
including tax cuts that we could get and we could
do it to all ourselves. Yeah, but you to do that,
(03:17):
you have to end.
Speaker 1 (03:17):
The filibus Clay. If Democrats really aren't aren't gonna blink her.
The election's over and there doesn't seem to be much
movement from them to reopen the government, and people you
are one of them, are dealing with the realities of
what this means. Now you're supposed to fly today, Yes,
I don't know. I don't know what's going to happen here.
(03:38):
My friend, you might have to try to, you know,
hit a ride on Air Force one or something.
Speaker 3 (03:44):
That would be nice, because I bet you could definitely
take off. But I'm I got the email, as I said,
early early today from my travel situation, and they're just
like if it was like somebody telling you, hey, we
may be able to hang out, we might not be
able to hang out. It's really kind of on you.
You might want to make plans with somebody else. It's
(04:05):
like trying to go on a date with somebody who
doesn't really want to go on a date with you,
which you know, by the way I've been through that,
I will say, this audience is amazing. People are so
kind out there. We got an email from a Southwest pilot.
I heard Clay may have trouble getting out of New York.
I have a standby ticket he can use. This is
a Southwest pilot and he reached out, I've got a
(04:28):
flight on Southwest, So I am going to right now
be going an hour early on the show so that
I can get out. Maybe I will call and report
from the airport to be able to get back home
and not get left in New York City.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
It's like escape from New York City. Here time. I'm
going to get back to Nashville.
Speaker 3 (04:45):
But I've been on a ton of Southwest Airlines flights
in my life because they go in and out of Nashville.
It's my favorite airline. People pick on me about it sometimes,
but I'm on Southwest all the time. So many of
their flight attend newt and now pilots I have met
that are fans of this show, that are fans of OutKick.
(05:06):
I love that airline. I'm just gonna be honest with you.
I love the people that work on Southwest Airlines as
a group, just a fantastic collection of people. And the
fact that one of our listeners out there is a
Southwest pilot and he just reached out and said, hey,
I can help get you on standby on a flight.
I mean, you guys are fantastic. Now we got a
(05:27):
lot of people who want to weigh in on a
variety of different topics. It's Friday. Let's hit some of
these loaded phone lines. Let's see Dan Bend, Oregon. Dan,
you're a three time Trump voter. We had Jacob call
in and gave him an F. Do you also give
him an F?
Speaker 5 (05:43):
No, sir, good morning. I would give him a C
minus though, just because, first off, we know Trump's not
a one man show, right. He has an administration of
people he relies upon, So I think from my perspective,
some of the decisions he's making.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
Okay, so let me let me pause. You here for
sex C minus.
Speaker 3 (06:03):
Okay, I don't agree with that rating, but that is
you know, that's not an F right. I don't think
anybody who voted three times for Trump would give him
an F. Honestly, in the first ten months, what why
would you give him a C minus? Buck, I'm gonna
be honest with you. I would give him an A.
He's done almost everything that I thought he would do.
He's been more effective and more efficient. I mean, I
don't want to quibble. I might just say a minus
(06:24):
because you can always do a little better. But I'm
right there with you. Okay, so he's done. I'm curious, what, Dan,
what has Trump not done that you anticipated he would
do in the first ten months such that you give
him a C minus?
Speaker 5 (06:37):
Uh and great question. Thank you. It's not necessarily what
I anticipated or expected Trump to do. It's what he
has done that has broughtened my questions to focus on
data centers, to focus on money from the Middle East,
the recent discussion about no longer allowing medical debts to
be exempted on credit reports, and again some of the decisions.
(06:58):
I do believe that Trump is specifically focus on the
way his administration has guided him. The one big, beautiful Bill,
A lot of great things passed. I thought they could
have been better, but I know he worked hard and
he got a lot of good things done. But unfortunately,
when I hear him say things like forgiving Google and
Apple and how the EU should no longer you know,
(07:19):
give them fines and penalties, is ridiculous when these guys
are also up on charges into in America for committee.
Speaker 1 (07:25):
This this is thank you for the call, and I
was gonna ask our I was gonna ask our steam caller.
I feel like you might too, Are you maybe being
a little unrealistic about what's possible for the president to do.
Speaker 3 (07:36):
Also, how perfect you're supposed to be I thought would
be maybe you're involved in tech. These are very specific,
very specific. It feels like issues that matter to you specifically,
but aren't necessarily at the top of the list for
most voters.
Speaker 5 (07:54):
Yes, in other ways as I as I make under
fifty thousand, sitting here on the ground and being the same.
But I also feel this income pinch, and I feel
the hardships of what the economy is doing. I worked
full time. I don't take any disability payments, but you know,
I do see how it affects other people and other families.
I do see how stores and others have taken advantage
of It doesn't mean it's all Trump right, it does not,
(08:16):
But it does mean that his administration has caused some
issues down here. So when we focused on tariffs without
focusing on domestic production that would have boosted the economy,
using those terrorists as an advantage versus a weapon, I
just think was poorly timed. It's a good plan, we
needed it, but I think there were things to fix
the Biden economics that screwed us over really bad as
(08:39):
a priorities.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
Okay, thank you for the call.
Speaker 3 (08:41):
Basically, it sounds like he mostly doesn't agree with the
things that Trump has done. We said, and I think
this is important to remember that this was an election,
and I think Trump ran it as an election that
was focused on the economy. Border crime. You hear nothing
about the border. I don't know that anybody has ever
been more successful in directly addressing what they said they
(09:03):
would address on something like the border than we've ever
seen in any of our lives. The border is just
not an issue right for a huge majority of you.
The border was maybe your number one issue. Certainly it
was in the top three. So border is solved. He
solved it in ten months. He solved it in six months.
Speaker 2 (09:21):
Crime.
Speaker 3 (09:22):
We are right now heading towards potentially a fifty or
sixty year low in murders in the country. In cities
that Trump has actually aggressively addressed, Washington, d C. My
home state city of Memphis, the number of murders is plummeting.
Speaker 2 (09:42):
Buck.
Speaker 3 (09:42):
This is not getting attention in Memphis. I had somebody
reach out to me. We're going to get on a
politician from Memphis to talk about it. He said, there's
a seventy percent decline in violent crime right now in Memphis. Again,
a lot of people don't pay attention to Memphis.
Speaker 2 (09:57):
I get it.
Speaker 3 (09:58):
It's a you know, one of the top forty or
fifty biggest cities. There's a lot of other cities that
are bigger. They get more attention. That's an unbelievable success
story that could be extrapolated elsewhere. Economy, stock market is
at record highs. Gas prices are down for the last
four years compared to where they were. The problem here
(10:18):
I see on economy and people say, oh, you don't
see it. I do see it. Prices went up so
fast that people are angry. Trump can't make prices go
back to where they were in twenty nineteen and twenty twenty.
It's never gonna happen for the rest of our lives.
Biden screwed up so bad that the best thing Trump
can do is try to rehabilitate the economy that Biden destroyed.
(10:41):
That's the reality, and so I get that people are frustrated.
I think the people who are most frustrated with Trump
are upset because grocery bills are still high, and rent
is still high, and everything costs more than you think
it should.
Speaker 2 (10:55):
I get it.
Speaker 3 (10:56):
The problem is nothing ever goes back in price. Get
to wave a magic wand and be like, hey, everything
costs what it did in twenty nineteen. That's the pernicious
awfulness of inflation and why it is so disastrous to
any country.
Speaker 1 (11:12):
The hope here is that the increases in productivity that
will come from ai And I don't think this is
pie in the sky. I've seen, you know, when you
see enough drone factories and things, and when I was
in Taiwan and when I was at TSMC and talking
to them about what is already possible technologically. Our lives
(11:34):
are going to be very different in over the next
ten years from what we've been used to in terms
of a lot of things that we're not going to
have to do a lot of things that will be
very easy to do or be done for us. And
that means that there can be a tendant quality of
life and productivity increases and general wealth. Right, they're like
(11:55):
wealth that all of us, we are all richer than
the kings of Europe from the time of Henry the Eighth,
all of us, all of you listening right now, it
is possible for humanity to actually just be wealthier. I
do think that AI is going to be a big
part of that. But the other issue we have is
that we have a political system where half the country
(12:16):
still thinks that the other half the country is going
to come up with ways to pay all of the
bills that they don't want to pay, and that's not
going to change. And that's also, unfortunately not sustainable if
they're going to just run the printing presses like crazy.
And I know people say, well, Trump spend a lot
of money during COVID. He did, but the Democrats absolutely
demanded that, and no one seems willing to do anything
(12:40):
about it now to bring the curve down in the
other direction. So this is where we are we talk
about this. It's very frustrating whenever the debt becomes an
issue and we want to have that conversation, it goes
beyond just oh yeah, that's a political issue. People say,
well I paid into this, and they take it very
person only. You know, I paid for Medicare. Whatever it
(13:02):
may be, all right, so let me just keep doing
what we're doing. This is where this is where it
ends up. And I think, unfortunately, if you want to
talk about prices when when you have more dollars chasing
fewer goods, this is like econ one oh one week,
one more dollars out in the system, chasing fewer goods
and services, you have inflation, and that's what happened and
(13:26):
now we're dealing with it. But you know, deflation would
be a painful process as well, so if it comes
too quickly, you know, I don't know. What do you think?
Am I am?
Speaker 3 (13:34):
I basically as the broad strokes correct here, your broad
strokes are completely correct, and I get it. I think
that the degree of frustration is through the roof over
cost of goods and economy, border crime, border solved crime
trending towards record lows thanks to police being supported. I
(13:59):
don't think it's getting enough attention. And Trump has attacked
in a way that I don't know that we've ever
seen before the violent crime in this country, and he's
winning on that level, and I think you just have
to trust him. I really do believe the economy is
going to be firing on all cylinders. I think it's
going pretty well in the stock market right now. Gas
prices are down again. I think it's going to be
firing on all cylinders by by the spring and summer.
(14:21):
Problem is, prices are not coming back down. And I
think it's to the extent that anyone has promised you
in any way that prices are going to come back
down to twenty nineteen or twenty twenty levels the pre
Biden era prices is just not physically, it's not going
to happen.
Speaker 1 (14:36):
It's Mo'm donnie. Mo'm Donnie's big winning line for a
lot of the young people in New York voted for him,
is I'm going to freeze the rent that makes the
problem of affordability worse everybody. That makes it worse. It
may not make it worse that day, but it will
make it worse in the long run.
Speaker 2 (14:51):
Yeah, for sure. That's awesome.
Speaker 1 (14:54):
All right.

Speaker 3 (16:06):
Again play Travis buck Sexton Show. We're rolling through the
Friday edition of the program. A lot of different feedback, talkback,
reaction coming in. Let me give you a little bit
of breaking news. White House source just reached out told
me that President Trump will be at the Washington I'll
(16:27):
still call them redskins in my mind, they're now technically
the commanders that he will be at the Washington football
game against the Detroit Lions this weekend, and he will
be sitting in the owner's box with the Washington football
team owner. It is a Veterans Day celebration on the
field at halftime, and the President accepted an invite to
(16:50):
be there to watch it. So that should be pretty
cool with interesting to see how much attention and coverage
that will get. But obviously game taking place in the
DC area.
Speaker 1 (17:02):
I'm just telling you something. Next time we have a bet,
forget about the steak stuff. Okay, we've done a lot
of stick bets. Gotta be video of you doing the
Trump dance with all your might, you know, really really
doing it all the way. We have to post the video,
all right. I want to see Clay doing a Trump
dance to the best of his ability. I would like
(17:25):
to do the Trump dance with Trump. That would that
would be that way you nobody would notice me. I need,
I need.
Speaker 2 (17:31):
Like I was with Tommy Laren who.
Speaker 3 (17:35):
Works it out kick you know, we were walking the
red carpet at the Patriot Wards last night and she said,
you want to go together or do you want to
go one on one, and I said together, She's like,
nobody's gonna notice me.
Speaker 2 (17:47):
This is one thing that Trump got right a long
time ago.
Speaker 3 (17:49):
He said, if you have an attractive woman in a
picture with you, no one notices what you wear or
cares anything at all about you. Now, sometimes there is exceptions,
but because some of you are obsessed with that, but
usually that's true.
Speaker 1 (18:04):
Birch Gold Group, my friends, that's who to go to
for your gold. If you're wondering gold, should I get
some gold? Think about it. Gold's up fifty percent plus
this year alone. If a portion of your savings isn't diverse,
fight into gold. You're missing out on what could be
this continuous upside over many many years. Look inflations and issue.
(18:24):
We're talking about the cost of stuff out there, but
gold is a hedge against that, and central banks all
over the world are buying up gold because of this.
I recently bought more gold from Birch Gold Group. I've
owned gold for going on fifteen twenty years now. Birch
Gold will help you convert an existing IRA or four

That's Buck to ninety eight ninety eight, ninety eight. Birch
Old Group call him today, welcome back in. We got
a special guest with us, doctor Mark Siegel. You all
(19:06):
know him from Fox News where he's the senior medical analyst.
He's the author of The Miracles among Us how God's
Grace plays a role in healing. Doctor Siegel, congrats on
the book. Thanks for calling in.
Speaker 7 (19:20):
Great to be with you today. You know I'm a
friends of your wife.
Speaker 1 (19:22):
Right Oh yeah, but Carrie is a big fan. So
when you have a book coming out, it's not even
a question. She's like, she just told me doctor Siegel's
come on and talk about his book. I said, yes,
ma'am right away, So tell us about the book.
Speaker 8 (19:34):
Same is me.
Speaker 7 (19:35):
So look, the book starts with the idea that there's
the Catholic Church as miracles that are very rigid. But
I actually look into that, and I do a chapter
on lords and I in France and I actually interviewed
the doctor there at di Franciscus, who actually is a
Harvard epidemiologist who trained as a pediatrician, and he's very religious.
(19:57):
That's the key to this book that you can come
bind faith and science. They're not different and they're not separate.
It's not like, oh no, I mean, I'm doing surgery
now I can't believe in God. That's just crazy. In fact,
we have to be looking at our patients as precious,
as spiritual, as individuals. That's why I'm against physicianists assisted suicide.
(20:18):
This book is about people who defy the odds. And
in Lords, there was one case of Bernadette, like the
Bernadette that inspired Lords years ago, where she was completely
unable to walk because of her Quota aquina syndrome and
she couldn't control her bowels or bladder in a horrible
foot pain. She was in a wheelchair. She went and
(20:39):
visited there. Three days later she felt heat through her
body and suddenly it was fine and all through prayer
and Defranciscus looked at this, but here's the point. He
got thirty three other doctors involved, He got an expert
and involved, he got radiologists involved. He even got psychiatrists
involved all said, this is really a spontaneous is intervention
(21:01):
of God. Now that's not the only thing the book
is about, because those are hard miracles, those are church miracles.
There's also miracles that I am more interested in, which
is an accumulation of coincidences.
Speaker 1 (21:13):
I call it a miracle lane.
Speaker 7 (21:15):
You're in the miracle lane and you can't even pick
out which is the specific miracle. The publisher of the
book from HarperCollins and I A Lisa Sharky. We actually
have a back and forth what's the main miracle of
that chapter? And Clay will be interested to know that
DeMar Hamlin story has a lot more miracles to it
than you might think.
Speaker 3 (21:36):
Tell me about that because for a lot of people
out there, that is one of the most chilling things
to see happen on a football field. For those of
you who have forgotten, football player makes a hit playing
for the Buffalo Bills and nearly dies on the field.
They have to bring out the shock machine to try
to bring him back to life. They put him in
(21:58):
an ambulance rush out of there. A game basically ends
right then and there. What is the backstory now on
DeMar Hamlin and how exactly that went down.
Speaker 7 (22:09):
The backstory is the first miracle. It's that Leslie Bisson,
who is the team physician for the Buffalo Bills and
the Buffalo Sabers and the head of orthopedics at Buffalo
at the medical School. In two thousand and seven, he
had a skater almost die. It was a former Buffalo
Sabers skater and he bled from a carotid artery. He
(22:30):
barely saved them with all of these transfusions, and he said,
you know what, from here on, all of my teams
are going to rehearse for tragic events on the field,
and they're going to be rehearsed and we're going to
be ready. And when he went to the Buffalo Bills,
they said, Leslie, you're crazy. We haven't had a carneiac
arrest on the field since nineteen fifty five. He says,
(22:51):
I'm rehearsing, and he had a premonition that one day
this would be needed. But everyone thought he was crazy.
But he had a drill and he had a defibrillater
right there, and he trained the the the trainer of
the of the Bills, and all of them were ready
for an event where somebody dropped on the field like
Damar did. That's why they rushed over there. And we
(23:12):
have an expression in medicine, time his brain, and they did.
They started CPR so fast, and that defibrillator so fast,
and they got the shoulder pads off so fast, only
because they had rehearsed it. Now, the next part of
the miracle is that when Damarrow was recovering. People don't
know this, but Damar and I interviewed everybody for this,
and the doctors and the trainers and every DeMar was recovering,
(23:36):
it took him a while to feel back in the game,
let's say, so to speak. And you know, it wasn't
just I woke he woke up. What was the final score?
It was more like it took a few days for
him to come back to himself. And then it was
a combination of prayer, very religious tomorrow and yoga and meditation.
(23:56):
All of these things helped him. And then he felt
and this is another key to the book, that having
received a miracle, he needed to give out miracles. And
so he went around the community and he has been
the biggest proponent of defibrillators AEDs automatic defibrillators in any
facility imaginable. He's out there teaching CPR with that, with
(24:17):
the sportstock with Leslie Bisson, and he goes all over
the country. He's a great human being. God's giving back
to him.
Speaker 1 (24:24):
Speaking the doctor Mark Siegel of Fox News, He's got
a book out, the Miracles among Us, how God's grace
plays a role in healing. Doctor Siegel. Interesting that there's research,
real research that has been done and is still being
done on prayer and helping people to heal. I'm wondering
if you could speak to that well.
Speaker 7 (24:45):
First of all, believe it or not. The part of
the brain, the right frontal part of the brain. I
spoke to the researcher on this exact issue. That part
of the brain where you connect the dots and you
kind of have to use your imagination and creativity. That
creates such a positive feeling believing in miracles that it
takes the place of negative feelings like political divisiveness and
(25:05):
the same part of the brain and it wants you
to join a community, and it gives you a sense
of hope and reassurance to think that there's a greater
force than you out there that makes these decisions. God
gives us the miracles he wants us to have, not
necessarily the ones we're asking for, and knowing that that
we should fear God but not each other is greatly uplifting.
(25:28):
It definitely decreats his depression and it improves health outcomes,
which has been shown again and again. And I also
talk about that in the book where the Way back
in the Old Testament, Hannah's praying for a son, and
God only answers that prayer because he looks down the
road and he knows that son will be Samuel, who
becomes a great prophet, so that we have to put
(25:50):
our lives and our futures in God hands. Another great
story from the book related to that as Robert Redfield's
son who hits his head. Robert Redfield, former CDC director,
hits his head, goes into a deep coma nearly herniates,
is not expected to recover at all, but he ends
up being brought to the top trauma center in the country,
(26:10):
in the world in Maryland. And Tom Scalia is not
a big believer. He runs the place, but he says,
you know, we do miracles here every day. I said,
what are the chances of Danny Redfield having a full recovery,
he says, probably zero. Danny Redfield fully recovers and ends
up back on the golf course beating his old scores.
Because Robert Redfield and his wife are praying to God
(26:33):
every single day. You know, he knew John Paul the
second he's involved in a Catholic church. He has a
group of Franciscan sisters praying for him in upstate New York.
One day, and this is a great story. One day,
he says to Danny, who is starting to recover, something's
wrong with your eye. Danny, what's wrong with your eye?
Are you seeing double? Danny says no, I can't see
(26:55):
out of my right eye at all. So Redfield goes
back to God and he says, you promised me a
full recovery. And I said to Redfield, you criticized the Lord,
and he said, why not? It worked two weeks later,
Danny seeing well out of both eyes.
Speaker 3 (27:12):
That's an amazing, amazing tell us how to get the
book because going around I'm going around trying to sell
a book right now, I know how hard this is
for people out there who like these stories and would
like to maybe get some inspiration in their life.
Speaker 2 (27:23):
How can they find it and that's the key.
Speaker 7 (27:26):
By the way, every one of us has a miracle.
We can tell my father's one hundred and two years old,
my mother's one hundred. They've kept together through all of
the medical turns in the road. You need this.
Speaker 2 (27:35):
How many years have they been hold on? How many
years have they been married.
Speaker 7 (27:39):
They've been married seventy three years. And they're married through
love of each other. And the fact that doctors believe
that you can operate and fix a hip on a
ninety eight year old or put a ninety nine year
old on a ventilator. Doctors that believe in what they're
doing and believe in God are more likely not to
give up on you. And that's really important. And every
(27:59):
story inspire you in this book that you might have
the same thing happen to you. And you can get
this book through Amazon, through Fox News Books, through Barnes
and Noble, and it will be published on November eighteenth,
but right now it's available in pre orders. Get my book,
get your book as well.
Speaker 1 (28:17):
Yeah, everybody buy books. Let's read more great books for
the holidays. Doctor Stiegel, appreciate you, sir, come back anytime.
Speaker 7 (28:24):
Great to be on with you, guys. Thank you.
Speaker 1 (28:27):
In a world where caring for others you've never met
before defines you as doing the right thing, the Preborn
Network of Clinics has a big team of people doing
just that. This is the nonprofit organization helping pregnant women
in crisis who are making that decision about life or
abortion for their unborn child. This past year, they saved
the lives of sixty seven thousand unborn children. When a
(28:47):
woman walks into one of Preborn's Network clinics, she's welcomed
with open arms. She's introduced to her baby through an ultrasound,
and for the first time she sees life not lost,
and she's offered hope filled choices. When she chooses life,
Preborn continues walking with her for up to two years,
providing maternity clothes, diapers, counseling, and so much more. Preborn
cares for the whole woman and the precious baby growing
(29:10):
inside her. So as you're thinking about end of year
giving in particular, consider the greatest investment you could ever
make life. There are hundreds of thousands of mothers to
be in this situation today. As the year closes out,
your tax deductible donation can be the difference between life
and death for so many tiny babies. It helps preborn
accomplish their incredibly important and powerful and godly mission. So
(29:34):
whether you can donate twenty eight dollars that would be
one ultrasound or twenty eight hundred dollars, please consider a
donation to Preborn. Dial pound two five zero and say
the word baby. That's pound two five zero, say baby.

And find them on the free iHeartRadio app or wherever

Speaker 1 (30:13):
Welcome back in all right, everybody is too kind.
Speaker 3 (30:16):
Jeff Blue Pilot has also reached out and said not
to be outdone by Southwest.
Speaker 1 (30:22):
I'll also get you on a flight to get out.
Speaker 3 (30:25):
In all seriousness, you guys are amazing this audience, Buck,
I bet, including your father in law way over indexes
for pilots relative to others. So the amount of time
that I'm flying that I'm getting to meet a variety
of you guys, I am going to the duckout early
so I can make this flight because a lot of
(30:46):
them are getting canceled. I see on the screen twenty
four hundred flights canceled. I want to get home. I've
been out of town all week. So Buck, you're going
to have the last hour. I will potentially call in
from the airport and give in on the ground airport.
Buck's gonna finish out the last hour. We got a
bunch of talkbacks, guys, Do I need to play the
talkbacks before I leave that you guys blocked out or not?
(31:09):
In the meantime, let's take some of these calls. Tom
in Roanoke, Virginia. Roanoke's a great town. If you have
never been, Tom, what would you give Trump? A lot
of people weighing in in the wake of the Tuesday election,
I give.
Speaker 8 (31:23):
Him an a plus. And I say that because he's
a person that is consistent. I think the fact that
his entire life he's faced a life of contracts. I
think he considers the US Constitution that same contract. I
think that he trusts the general population of the United
(31:45):
States that are cimizens when they vote, they expect the same. Unfortunately,
we have what are called rock Republicans, not Rhino. They
are Republicans obliged to continually meet. I mean, they do
nothing but follow the current of the water that moves
(32:07):
them in the stream of politics.
Speaker 2 (32:10):
Thank you for the call.
Speaker 1 (32:10):
Tom.
Speaker 2 (32:11):
By the way, I wanted to mention this, we got
a couple of talkbacks. I'm gonna hit.
Speaker 3 (32:15):
I had the good fortune to see David Limbaugh, Russia's
brother last night at the Patriot Awards, and he wanted
me to tell you hi, Buck and say that he
loves listening to the show and that he is proud
of us for continuing Russia's legacy.
Speaker 1 (32:30):
Super kind of him too. He's he's a great guy.
He's a Everyone knows that David's a great guy. So
that's very kind, very awesome.
Speaker 3 (32:38):
In fact, his daughter is friends with your wife, Carrie,
and also said I talked with his daughter as well.
She said she's super excited to see the baby. But
David's gonna come on. I don't think we've had him on.
I said, hey, we need to get you on at
some point. If we had him on, maybe for a book.
I definitely interviewed him in the past. I think I
had a book and we had him on at least once,
(32:59):
but I was like, we gotta get you on again,
so we're gonna do that. But I did think it
was awesome. It was great to hear from him and
see him last night. Michael in Utah.
Speaker 1 (33:06):
What you got.
Speaker 8 (33:11):
Is this wondering his question for Clay since has got
a book out called Balls, I was wondering when he's
gonna come out with.
Speaker 7 (33:16):
The named boobs.
Speaker 2 (33:18):
Thank you for the call. That might be too immature
for even me.
Speaker 3 (33:22):
Although the fatter I get, I could you know it
could just be Klay's boobs because unfortunately old man, I
I like the female book.
Speaker 1 (33:31):
Give me you're doing You're doing great. You're doing smoothies
every day. Clay has a smoothie for lunch. Sometimes I'm
sneaking shake shack like I gotta the Clay. The Clay
smoothie regimen is is very have a smoothie.
Speaker 3 (33:41):
For lunch every day. We don't have a lot of
time to eat. And so if you watch the video
you'll see me. I mean, I can have a smoothie
without drawing a ton of attention or making a huge mess.
They tell me Buck that KKU listener talk back KK
that I must listen to before, by the way, a.
Speaker 1 (33:58):
Mystery, A mystery talkback. Let's see if the audience can
figure out who it is.
Speaker 9 (34:02):
These are crazy times we live in. I don't know
how it got to this point, but in the spirit
of Donald Trump, who brought peace to the Middle East,
he's bringing peace to Ukraine and Russia. Was it nine
peace Deals?
Speaker 7 (34:15):
Now?
Speaker 1 (34:15):
I don't know how this.
Speaker 9 (34:16):
Whole insult of Buck Sexton's serve came about, But Clay,
I want you to be the bigger man here and apologize.
I checked Bucks serving fundamentals his technique. And we're talking
rocket Rod Laver stuff here. We're talking gorn Ivanisovich or
Michael Steek. We're talking about a guy that is really
(34:39):
extending his toss is perfect. He crossed one hundred mile
an hour spectrum. I really think an apology is in
order for our tennis star, Buck Sexton, and let's bring
peace back to the airwaves.
Speaker 1 (34:54):
I had to say, that's very clearly our fantastic lead
in on KTRH in Houston, mister Mike Barry, who when
he is doing his post show sometimes listens in and
knows what's going on. So he's waiting in to be fair.
Clay you were actually pretty neutral about the serve issue.
You're pretty neutral now, Lars.
Speaker 7 (35:12):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (35:12):
Maybe you can do it, maybe you can't.
Speaker 3 (35:14):
Now, Laura, Laura Travis, I would have to put solidly
in the hater contingent.
Speaker 1 (35:19):
Now she was a doubt I would say doubter. She
was a doubter for sure.
Speaker 3 (35:22):
We are in the process of moving, which means that
she has not been listening to the show very often
in the last ten or twelve days.
Speaker 2 (35:31):
So I think if she.
Speaker 3 (35:33):
Had been aware that you would hit one hundred miles
an hour serve, she would be zu Bruder film style
analyzing this to see whether or not she's going to it.
Speaker 1 (35:41):
Submitted as there's plenty of time for a talkback from
Laura next week if she just wants to say, you know, Buck,
who would know with all that poofy hair in that
giant head, your momentum on that serve was more than
people would have expected. So there you go.
Speaker 3 (35:56):
A lot of people are saying it was the haircut
that actually was the more aerodynamic. That's true, there was
extra aerodynamics. Wait, we got a good one for you, though,
where's the uh where's the one about?
Speaker 7 (36:07):
Is it? Uh? Hold?
Speaker 1 (36:09):
On a second. All right, look l ll hit ll talkback.
Now that Buckets proved that he could hit a ball
over one hundred miles an hour, let's see if Clay
can prove that he can swim from Alcatraz to the beach.
Keep up the good work again.
Speaker 3 (36:26):
But I think we gotta we gotta do this. But
also we got to raise some money or something, and
we got raise money. And again my concern is not
the swim, it's the sharks.
Speaker 7 (36:34):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (36:35):
I don't want to get killed. There's too many people
who would exalt uh and uh, I don't want to
make Maybe to make it more interesting, we dangle some
good ranchers steaks off like a little string. You know,
they have to be unhappy about me still being alive
for as long as I can make that a reality.
Clay Travis Balls the love you guys. Thanks for buying
I'm autographed copies Clay Travis Balls
Second hour of Clay and Buck kicks off. Now, everybody
appreciate you being with us. We're having a great Friday already.
Definitely want to take a lot of your talk facts,
your BP emails, your live calls of course eight at
eight two eight hundred two eight two eight a two.
Speaker 2 (00:17):
Now you're going to cross me up.
Speaker 1 (00:19):
I guys, what I just forgot my own call number.
Speaker 3 (00:22):
It's been like two a two two eight a two Buck,
I said it right right. I think you just you
you questioned yourself as you went through it. Every now
and then that happens to me too. One thing that
has happened in the era of smartphones. I it's actually
a point of anxiety for me. I do not know
any phone numbers correct.
Speaker 1 (00:40):
And back in the day when I when we had
old school answering machines. Remember you sit there and you
were like in college or whatever, or maybe you were
a young guy in your twenties. You had your voicemail
and you're like, hey, I'm not like trying to sound cool.
I'm just casual and want you to leave your message
(01:01):
at the beep. You know, remember all that stuff. Don't
lie to me. A lot of you did over and over.
You did multiple takes over and over again of your
answering machine voicemail. So that was very, very much a throwback.
But yes, so Clay, let's dive in, shall we. Let's
dive into what Trump is saying about the filibuster, about affordability,
(01:25):
about all of that good stuff. Oh and I was
just gonna say, it's back in the day. He used
to remember all the phone numbers too. I still remember friends
from high school's phone number. I remember my high school
phone number to this day.
Speaker 3 (01:39):
Yes, but I can't remember any other numbers either, because
everything's in the phone and you, you know, pull up
somebody's name and have no idea. By the way, loaded lines,
a lot of good feedback to coming in, a lot
of people reacting to our boy who called in from
Ohio and gave Trump and f on the first ten months.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
Yeah, yeah, Yeah, that's that's going to get the That's
going to get the folks riled up. Speaking of Trump
here he is. Look, he's saying it. He wants the
filibuster und it right now at least to open the
government that I agree with. Look, you're going to say
this is a bit of a change. Yeah, but this
is a change that we can live with. If I
(02:18):
don't think Republicans should be able to end minority demand
sixty votes to open the government.
Speaker 2 (02:23):
Yeah, that's crazy.
Speaker 1 (02:24):
I think Democrats should be able to do this in
minority either. This is sabotage of the system that the
system did not predetermine should exist. Here's Trump play four.
Speaker 4 (02:33):
Well, I think it's time for them to end the
filibuster and just put everybody back to where vote in,
voter ID, vote in, no mail in voting except for military,
far away military and people that are very sick. No,
I'd like to see one day voting. I'd like to see,
not sixty five days of voting from all over the place. Though,
(02:56):
I'd like to clean up the elections. The border. We've
done rage up. We have a great strong boarder. Now
we'd kind of like to see and new rules on
immigration that could be fair and good, you know, rules
that you'll never get, the rules that they're never get
to get. There's so many things we could put in,
including tax cuts that we could get and we could
do it to all ourselves. Yeah, but you to do that,
(03:17):
you have to end.
Speaker 1 (03:17):
The filibus Clay. If Democrats really aren't aren't gonna blink her.
The election's over and there doesn't seem to be much
movement from them to reopen the government, and people you
are one of them, are dealing with the realities of
what this means. Now you're supposed to fly today, Yes,
I don't know. I don't know what's going to happen here.
(03:38):
My friend, you might have to try to, you know,
hit a ride on Air Force one or something.
Speaker 3 (03:44):
That would be nice, because I bet you could definitely
take off. But I'm I got the email, as I said,
early early today from my travel situation, and they're just
like if it was like somebody telling you, hey, we
may be able to hang out, we might not be
able to hang out. It's really kind of on you.
You might want to make plans with somebody else. It's
(04:05):
like trying to go on a date with somebody who
doesn't really want to go on a date with you,
which you know, by the way I've been through that,
I will say, this audience is amazing. People are so
kind out there. We got an email from a Southwest pilot.
I heard Clay may have trouble getting out of New York.
I have a standby ticket he can use. This is
a Southwest pilot and he reached out, I've got a
(04:28):
flight on Southwest, So I am going to right now
be going an hour early on the show so that
I can get out. Maybe I will call and report
from the airport to be able to get back home
and not get left in New York City.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
It's like escape from New York City. Here time. I'm
going to get back to Nashville.
Speaker 3 (04:45):
But I've been on a ton of Southwest Airlines flights
in my life because they go in and out of Nashville.
It's my favorite airline. People pick on me about it sometimes,
but I'm on Southwest all the time. So many of
their flight attend newt and now pilots I have met
that are fans of this show, that are fans of OutKick.
(05:06):
I love that airline. I'm just gonna be honest with you.
I love the people that work on Southwest Airlines as
a group, just a fantastic collection of people. And the
fact that one of our listeners out there is a
Southwest pilot and he just reached out and said, hey,
I can help get you on standby on a flight.
I mean, you guys are fantastic. Now we got a
(05:27):
lot of people who want to weigh in on a
variety of different topics. It's Friday. Let's hit some of
these loaded phone lines. Let's see Dan Bend, Oregon. Dan,
you're a three time Trump voter. We had Jacob call
in and gave him an F. Do you also give
him an F?
Speaker 5 (05:43):
No, sir, good morning. I would give him a C
minus though, just because, first off, we know Trump's not
a one man show, right. He has an administration of
people he relies upon, So I think from my perspective,
some of the decisions he's making.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
Okay, so let me let me pause. You here for
sex C minus.
Speaker 3 (06:03):
Okay, I don't agree with that rating, but that is
you know, that's not an F right. I don't think
anybody who voted three times for Trump would give him
an F. Honestly, in the first ten months, what why
would you give him a C minus? Buck, I'm gonna
be honest with you. I would give him an A.
He's done almost everything that I thought he would do.
He's been more effective and more efficient. I mean, I
don't want to quibble. I might just say a minus
(06:24):
because you can always do a little better. But I'm
right there with you. Okay, so he's done. I'm curious, what, Dan,
what has Trump not done that you anticipated he would
do in the first ten months such that you give
him a C minus?
Speaker 5 (06:37):
Uh and great question. Thank you. It's not necessarily what
I anticipated or expected Trump to do. It's what he
has done that has broughtened my questions to focus on
data centers, to focus on money from the Middle East,
the recent discussion about no longer allowing medical debts to
be exempted on credit reports, and again some of the decisions.
(06:58):
I do believe that Trump is specifically focus on the
way his administration has guided him. The one big, beautiful Bill,
A lot of great things passed. I thought they could
have been better, but I know he worked hard and
he got a lot of good things done. But unfortunately,
when I hear him say things like forgiving Google and
Apple and how the EU should no longer you know,
(07:19):
give them fines and penalties, is ridiculous when these guys
are also up on charges into in America for committee.
Speaker 1 (07:25):
This this is thank you for the call, and I
was gonna ask our I was gonna ask our steam caller.
I feel like you might too, Are you maybe being
a little unrealistic about what's possible for the president to do.
Speaker 3 (07:36):
Also, how perfect you're supposed to be I thought would
be maybe you're involved in tech. These are very specific,
very specific. It feels like issues that matter to you specifically,
but aren't necessarily at the top of the list for
most voters.
Speaker 5 (07:54):
Yes, in other ways as I as I make under
fifty thousand, sitting here on the ground and being the same.
But I also feel this income pinch, and I feel
the hardships of what the economy is doing. I worked
full time. I don't take any disability payments, but you know,
I do see how it affects other people and other families.
I do see how stores and others have taken advantage
of It doesn't mean it's all Trump right, it does not,
(08:16):
But it does mean that his administration has caused some
issues down here. So when we focused on tariffs without
focusing on domestic production that would have boosted the economy,
using those terrorists as an advantage versus a weapon, I
just think was poorly timed. It's a good plan, we
needed it, but I think there were things to fix
the Biden economics that screwed us over really bad as
(08:39):
a priorities.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
Okay, thank you for the call.
Speaker 3 (08:41):
Basically, it sounds like he mostly doesn't agree with the
things that Trump has done. We said, and I think
this is important to remember that this was an election,
and I think Trump ran it as an election that
was focused on the economy. Border crime. You hear nothing
about the border. I don't know that anybody has ever
been more successful in directly addressing what they said they
(09:03):
would address on something like the border than we've ever
seen in any of our lives. The border is just
not an issue right for a huge majority of you.
The border was maybe your number one issue. Certainly it
was in the top three. So border is solved. He
solved it in ten months. He solved it in six months.
Speaker 2 (09:21):
Crime.
Speaker 3 (09:22):
We are right now heading towards potentially a fifty or
sixty year low in murders in the country. In cities
that Trump has actually aggressively addressed, Washington, d C. My
home state city of Memphis, the number of murders is plummeting.
Speaker 2 (09:42):
Buck.
Speaker 3 (09:42):
This is not getting attention in Memphis. I had somebody
reach out to me. We're going to get on a
politician from Memphis to talk about it. He said, there's
a seventy percent decline in violent crime right now in Memphis. Again,
a lot of people don't pay attention to Memphis.
Speaker 2 (09:57):
I get it.
Speaker 3 (09:58):
It's a you know, one of the top forty or
fifty biggest cities. There's a lot of other cities that
are bigger. They get more attention. That's an unbelievable success
story that could be extrapolated elsewhere. Economy, stock market is
at record highs. Gas prices are down for the last
four years compared to where they were. The problem here
(10:18):
I see on economy and people say, oh, you don't
see it. I do see it. Prices went up so
fast that people are angry. Trump can't make prices go
back to where they were in twenty nineteen and twenty twenty.
It's never gonna happen for the rest of our lives.
Biden screwed up so bad that the best thing Trump
can do is try to rehabilitate the economy that Biden destroyed.
(10:41):
That's the reality, and so I get that people are frustrated.
I think the people who are most frustrated with Trump
are upset because grocery bills are still high, and rent
is still high, and everything costs more than you think
it should.
Speaker 2 (10:55):
I get it.
Speaker 3 (10:56):
The problem is nothing ever goes back in price. Get
to wave a magic wand and be like, hey, everything
costs what it did in twenty nineteen. That's the pernicious
awfulness of inflation and why it is so disastrous to
any country.
Speaker 1 (11:12):
The hope here is that the increases in productivity that
will come from ai And I don't think this is
pie in the sky. I've seen, you know, when you
see enough drone factories and things, and when I was
in Taiwan and when I was at TSMC and talking
to them about what is already possible technologically. Our lives
(11:34):
are going to be very different in over the next
ten years from what we've been used to in terms
of a lot of things that we're not going to
have to do a lot of things that will be
very easy to do or be done for us. And
that means that there can be a tendant quality of
life and productivity increases and general wealth. Right, they're like
(11:55):
wealth that all of us, we are all richer than
the kings of Europe from the time of Henry the Eighth,
all of us, all of you listening right now, it
is possible for humanity to actually just be wealthier. I
do think that AI is going to be a big
part of that. But the other issue we have is
that we have a political system where half the country
(12:16):
still thinks that the other half the country is going
to come up with ways to pay all of the
bills that they don't want to pay, and that's not
going to change. And that's also, unfortunately not sustainable if
they're going to just run the printing presses like crazy.
And I know people say, well, Trump spend a lot
of money during COVID. He did, but the Democrats absolutely
demanded that, and no one seems willing to do anything
(12:40):
about it now to bring the curve down in the
other direction. So this is where we are we talk
about this. It's very frustrating whenever the debt becomes an
issue and we want to have that conversation, it goes
beyond just oh yeah, that's a political issue. People say,
well I paid into this, and they take it very
person only. You know, I paid for Medicare. Whatever it
(13:02):
may be, all right, so let me just keep doing
what we're doing. This is where this is where it
ends up. And I think, unfortunately, if you want to
talk about prices when when you have more dollars chasing
fewer goods, this is like econ one oh one week,
one more dollars out in the system, chasing fewer goods
and services, you have inflation, and that's what happened and
(13:26):
now we're dealing with it. But you know, deflation would
be a painful process as well, so if it comes
too quickly, you know, I don't know. What do you think?
Am I am?
Speaker 3 (13:34):
I basically as the broad strokes correct here, your broad
strokes are completely correct, and I get it. I think
that the degree of frustration is through the roof over
cost of goods and economy, border crime, border solved crime
trending towards record lows thanks to police being supported. I
(13:59):
don't think it's getting enough attention. And Trump has attacked
in a way that I don't know that we've ever
seen before the violent crime in this country, and he's
winning on that level, and I think you just have
to trust him. I really do believe the economy is
going to be firing on all cylinders. I think it's
going pretty well in the stock market right now. Gas
prices are down again. I think it's going to be
firing on all cylinders by by the spring and summer.
(14:21):
Problem is, prices are not coming back down. And I
think it's to the extent that anyone has promised you
in any way that prices are going to come back
down to twenty nineteen or twenty twenty levels the pre
Biden era prices is just not physically, it's not going
to happen.
Speaker 1 (14:36):
It's Mo'm donnie. Mo'm Donnie's big winning line for a
lot of the young people in New York voted for him,
is I'm going to freeze the rent that makes the
problem of affordability worse everybody. That makes it worse. It
may not make it worse that day, but it will
make it worse in the long run.
Speaker 2 (14:51):
Yeah, for sure. That's awesome.
Speaker 1 (14:54):
All right.

Speaker 3 (16:06):
Again play Travis buck Sexton Show. We're rolling through the
Friday edition of the program. A lot of different feedback, talkback,
reaction coming in. Let me give you a little bit
of breaking news. White House source just reached out told
me that President Trump will be at the Washington I'll
(16:27):
still call them redskins in my mind, they're now technically
the commanders that he will be at the Washington football
game against the Detroit Lions this weekend, and he will
be sitting in the owner's box with the Washington football
team owner. It is a Veterans Day celebration on the
field at halftime, and the President accepted an invite to
(16:50):
be there to watch it. So that should be pretty
cool with interesting to see how much attention and coverage
that will get. But obviously game taking place in the
DC area.
Speaker 1 (17:02):
I'm just telling you something. Next time we have a bet,
forget about the steak stuff. Okay, we've done a lot
of stick bets. Gotta be video of you doing the
Trump dance with all your might, you know, really really
doing it all the way. We have to post the video,
all right. I want to see Clay doing a Trump
dance to the best of his ability. I would like
(17:25):
to do the Trump dance with Trump. That would that
would be that way you nobody would notice me. I need,
I need.
Speaker 2 (17:31):
Like I was with Tommy Laren who.
Speaker 3 (17:35):
Works it out kick you know, we were walking the
red carpet at the Patriot Wards last night and she said,
you want to go together or do you want to
go one on one, and I said together, She's like,
nobody's gonna notice me.
Speaker 2 (17:47):
This is one thing that Trump got right a long
time ago.
Speaker 3 (17:49):
He said, if you have an attractive woman in a
picture with you, no one notices what you wear or
cares anything at all about you. Now, sometimes there is exceptions,
but because some of you are obsessed with that, but
usually that's true.
Speaker 1 (18:04):
Birch Gold Group, my friends, that's who to go to
for your gold. If you're wondering gold, should I get
some gold? Think about it. Gold's up fifty percent plus
this year alone. If a portion of your savings isn't diverse,
fight into gold. You're missing out on what could be
this continuous upside over many many years. Look inflations and issue.
(18:24):
We're talking about the cost of stuff out there, but
gold is a hedge against that, and central banks all
over the world are buying up gold because of this.
I recently bought more gold from Birch Gold Group. I've
owned gold for going on fifteen twenty years now. Birch
Gold will help you convert an existing IRA or four

Old Group call him today, welcome back in. We got
a special guest with us, doctor Mark Siegel. You all
(19:06):
know him from Fox News where he's the senior medical analyst.
He's the author of The Miracles among Us how God's
Grace plays a role in healing. Doctor Siegel, congrats on
the book. Thanks for calling in.
Speaker 7 (19:20):
Great to be with you today. You know I'm a
friends of your wife.
Speaker 1 (19:22):
Right Oh yeah, but Carrie is a big fan. So
when you have a book coming out, it's not even
a question. She's like, she just told me doctor Siegel's
come on and talk about his book. I said, yes,
ma'am right away, So tell us about the book.
Speaker 8 (19:34):
Same is me.
Speaker 7 (19:35):
So look, the book starts with the idea that there's
the Catholic Church as miracles that are very rigid. But
I actually look into that, and I do a chapter
on lords and I in France and I actually interviewed
the doctor there at di Franciscus, who actually is a
Harvard epidemiologist who trained as a pediatrician, and he's very religious.
(19:57):
That's the key to this book that you can come
bind faith and science. They're not different and they're not separate.
It's not like, oh no, I mean, I'm doing surgery
now I can't believe in God. That's just crazy. In fact,
we have to be looking at our patients as precious,
as spiritual, as individuals. That's why I'm against physicianists assisted suicide.
(20:18):
This book is about people who defy the odds. And
in Lords, there was one case of Bernadette, like the
Bernadette that inspired Lords years ago, where she was completely
unable to walk because of her Quota aquina syndrome and
she couldn't control her bowels or bladder in a horrible
foot pain. She was in a wheelchair. She went and
(20:39):
visited there. Three days later she felt heat through her
body and suddenly it was fine and all through prayer
and Defranciscus looked at this, but here's the point. He
got thirty three other doctors involved, He got an expert
and involved, he got radiologists involved. He even got psychiatrists
involved all said, this is really a spontaneous is intervention
(21:01):
of God. Now that's not the only thing the book
is about, because those are hard miracles, those are church miracles.
There's also miracles that I am more interested in, which
is an accumulation of coincidences.
Speaker 1 (21:13):
I call it a miracle lane.
Speaker 7 (21:15):
You're in the miracle lane and you can't even pick
out which is the specific miracle. The publisher of the
book from HarperCollins and I A Lisa Sharky. We actually
have a back and forth what's the main miracle of
that chapter? And Clay will be interested to know that
DeMar Hamlin story has a lot more miracles to it
than you might think.
Speaker 3 (21:36):
Tell me about that because for a lot of people
out there, that is one of the most chilling things
to see happen on a football field. For those of
you who have forgotten, football player makes a hit playing
for the Buffalo Bills and nearly dies on the field.
They have to bring out the shock machine to try
to bring him back to life. They put him in
(21:58):
an ambulance rush out of there. A game basically ends
right then and there. What is the backstory now on
DeMar Hamlin and how exactly that went down.
Speaker 7 (22:09):
The backstory is the first miracle. It's that Leslie Bisson,
who is the team physician for the Buffalo Bills and
the Buffalo Sabers and the head of orthopedics at Buffalo
at the medical School. In two thousand and seven, he
had a skater almost die. It was a former Buffalo
Sabers skater and he bled from a carotid artery. He
(22:30):
barely saved them with all of these transfusions, and he said,
you know what, from here on, all of my teams
are going to rehearse for tragic events on the field,
and they're going to be rehearsed and we're going to
be ready. And when he went to the Buffalo Bills,
they said, Leslie, you're crazy. We haven't had a carneiac
arrest on the field since nineteen fifty five. He says,
(22:51):
I'm rehearsing, and he had a premonition that one day
this would be needed. But everyone thought he was crazy.
But he had a drill and he had a defibrillater
right there, and he trained the the the trainer of
the of the Bills, and all of them were ready
for an event where somebody dropped on the field like
Damar did. That's why they rushed over there. And we
(23:12):
have an expression in medicine, time his brain, and they did.
They started CPR so fast, and that defibrillator so fast,
and they got the shoulder pads off so fast, only
because they had rehearsed it. Now, the next part of
the miracle is that when Damarrow was recovering. People don't
know this, but Damar and I interviewed everybody for this,
and the doctors and the trainers and every DeMar was recovering,
(23:36):
it took him a while to feel back in the game,
let's say, so to speak. And you know, it wasn't
just I woke he woke up. What was the final score?
It was more like it took a few days for
him to come back to himself. And then it was
a combination of prayer, very religious tomorrow and yoga and meditation.
(23:56):
All of these things helped him. And then he felt
and this is another key to the book, that having
received a miracle, he needed to give out miracles. And
so he went around the community and he has been
the biggest proponent of defibrillators AEDs automatic defibrillators in any
facility imaginable. He's out there teaching CPR with that, with
(24:17):
the sportstock with Leslie Bisson, and he goes all over
the country. He's a great human being. God's giving back
to him.
Speaker 1 (24:24):
Speaking the doctor Mark Siegel of Fox News, He's got
a book out, the Miracles among Us, how God's grace
plays a role in healing. Doctor Siegel. Interesting that there's research,
real research that has been done and is still being
done on prayer and helping people to heal. I'm wondering
if you could speak to that well.
Speaker 7 (24:45):
First of all, believe it or not. The part of
the brain, the right frontal part of the brain. I
spoke to the researcher on this exact issue. That part
of the brain where you connect the dots and you
kind of have to use your imagination and creativity. That
creates such a positive feeling believing in miracles that it
takes the place of negative feelings like political divisiveness and
(25:05):
the same part of the brain and it wants you
to join a community, and it gives you a sense
of hope and reassurance to think that there's a greater
force than you out there that makes these decisions. God
gives us the miracles he wants us to have, not
necessarily the ones we're asking for, and knowing that that
we should fear God but not each other is greatly uplifting.
(25:28):
It definitely decreats his depression and it improves health outcomes,
which has been shown again and again. And I also
talk about that in the book where the Way back
in the Old Testament, Hannah's praying for a son, and
God only answers that prayer because he looks down the
road and he knows that son will be Samuel, who
becomes a great prophet, so that we have to put
(25:50):
our lives and our futures in God hands. Another great
story from the book related to that as Robert Redfield's
son who hits his head. Robert Redfield, former CDC director,
hits his head, goes into a deep coma nearly herniates,
is not expected to recover at all, but he ends
up being brought to the top trauma center in the country,
(26:10):
in the world in Maryland. And Tom Scalia is not
a big believer. He runs the place, but he says,
you know, we do miracles here every day. I said,
what are the chances of Danny Redfield having a full recovery,
he says, probably zero. Danny Redfield fully recovers and ends
up back on the golf course beating his old scores.
Because Robert Redfield and his wife are praying to God
(26:33):
every single day. You know, he knew John Paul the
second he's involved in a Catholic church. He has a
group of Franciscan sisters praying for him in upstate New York.
One day, and this is a great story. One day,
he says to Danny, who is starting to recover, something's
wrong with your eye. Danny, what's wrong with your eye?
Are you seeing double? Danny says no, I can't see
(26:55):
out of my right eye at all. So Redfield goes
back to God and he says, you promised me a
full recovery. And I said to Redfield, you criticized the Lord,
and he said, why not? It worked two weeks later,
Danny seeing well out of both eyes.
Speaker 3 (27:12):
That's an amazing, amazing tell us how to get the
book because going around I'm going around trying to sell
a book right now, I know how hard this is
for people out there who like these stories and would
like to maybe get some inspiration in their life.
Speaker 2 (27:23):
How can they find it and that's the key.
Speaker 7 (27:26):
By the way, every one of us has a miracle.
We can tell my father's one hundred and two years old,
my mother's one hundred. They've kept together through all of
the medical turns in the road. You need this.
Speaker 2 (27:35):
How many years have they been hold on? How many
years have they been married.
Speaker 7 (27:39):
They've been married seventy three years. And they're married through
love of each other. And the fact that doctors believe
that you can operate and fix a hip on a
ninety eight year old or put a ninety nine year
old on a ventilator. Doctors that believe in what they're
doing and believe in God are more likely not to
give up on you. And that's really important. And every
(27:59):
story inspire you in this book that you might have
the same thing happen to you. And you can get
this book through Amazon, through Fox News Books, through Barnes
and Noble, and it will be published on November eighteenth,
but right now it's available in pre orders. Get my book,
get your book as well.
Speaker 1 (28:17):
Yeah, everybody buy books. Let's read more great books for
the holidays. Doctor Stiegel, appreciate you, sir, come back anytime.
Speaker 7 (28:24):
Great to be on with you, guys. Thank you.
Speaker 1 (28:27):
In a world where caring for others you've never met
before defines you as doing the right thing, the Preborn
Network of Clinics has a big team of people doing
just that. This is the nonprofit organization helping pregnant women
in crisis who are making that decision about life or
abortion for their unborn child. This past year, they saved
the lives of sixty seven thousand unborn children. When a
(28:47):
woman walks into one of Preborn's Network clinics, she's welcomed
with open arms. She's introduced to her baby through an ultrasound,
and for the first time she sees life not lost,
and she's offered hope filled choices. When she chooses life,
Preborn continues walking with her for up to two years,
providing maternity clothes, diapers, counseling, and so much more. Preborn
cares for the whole woman and the precious baby growing
(29:10):
inside her. So as you're thinking about end of year
giving in particular, consider the greatest investment you could ever
make life. There are hundreds of thousands of mothers to
be in this situation today. As the year closes out,
your tax deductible donation can be the difference between life
and death for so many tiny babies. It helps preborn
accomplish their incredibly important and powerful and godly mission. So
(29:34):
whether you can donate twenty eight dollars that would be
one ultrasound or twenty eight hundred dollars, please consider a
donation to Preborn. Dial pound two five zero and say
the word baby. That's pound two five zero, say baby.

Speaker 1 (30:13):
Welcome back in all right, everybody is too kind.
Speaker 3 (30:16):
Jeff Blue Pilot has also reached out and said not
to be outdone by Southwest.
Speaker 1 (30:22):
I'll also get you on a flight to get out.
Speaker 3 (30:25):
In all seriousness, you guys are amazing this audience, Buck,
I bet, including your father in law way over indexes
for pilots relative to others. So the amount of time
that I'm flying that I'm getting to meet a variety
of you guys, I am going to the duckout early
so I can make this flight because a lot of
(30:46):
them are getting canceled. I see on the screen twenty
four hundred flights canceled. I want to get home. I've
been out of town all week. So Buck, you're going
to have the last hour. I will potentially call in
from the airport and give in on the ground airport.
Buck's gonna finish out the last hour. We got a
bunch of talkbacks, guys, Do I need to play the
talkbacks before I leave that you guys blocked out or not?
(31:09):
In the meantime, let's take some of these calls. Tom
in Roanoke, Virginia. Roanoke's a great town. If you have
never been, Tom, what would you give Trump? A lot
of people weighing in in the wake of the Tuesday election,
I give.
Speaker 8 (31:23):
Him an a plus. And I say that because he's
a person that is consistent. I think the fact that
his entire life he's faced a life of contracts. I
think he considers the US Constitution that same contract. I
think that he trusts the general population of the United
(31:45):
States that are cimizens when they vote, they expect the same. Unfortunately,
we have what are called rock Republicans, not Rhino. They
are Republicans obliged to continually meet. I mean, they do
nothing but follow the current of the water that moves
(32:07):
them in the stream of politics.
Speaker 2 (32:10):
Thank you for the call.
Speaker 1 (32:10):
Tom.
Speaker 2 (32:11):
By the way, I wanted to mention this, we got
a couple of talkbacks. I'm gonna hit.
Speaker 3 (32:15):
I had the good fortune to see David Limbaugh, Russia's
brother last night at the Patriot Awards, and he wanted
me to tell you hi, Buck and say that he
loves listening to the show and that he is proud
of us for continuing Russia's legacy.
Speaker 1 (32:30):
Super kind of him too. He's he's a great guy.
He's a Everyone knows that David's a great guy. So
that's very kind, very awesome.
Speaker 3 (32:38):
In fact, his daughter is friends with your wife, Carrie,
and also said I talked with his daughter as well.
She said she's super excited to see the baby. But
David's gonna come on. I don't think we've had him on.
I said, hey, we need to get you on at
some point. If we had him on, maybe for a book.
I definitely interviewed him in the past. I think I
had a book and we had him on at least once,
(32:59):
but I was like, we gotta get you on again,
so we're gonna do that. But I did think it
was awesome. It was great to hear from him and
see him last night. Michael in Utah.
Speaker 1 (33:06):
What you got.
Speaker 8 (33:11):
Is this wondering his question for Clay since has got
a book out called Balls, I was wondering when he's
gonna come out with.
Speaker 7 (33:16):
The named boobs.
Speaker 2 (33:18):
Thank you for the call. That might be too immature
for even me.
Speaker 3 (33:22):
Although the fatter I get, I could you know it
could just be Klay's boobs because unfortunately old man, I
I like the female book.
Speaker 1 (33:31):
Give me you're doing You're doing great. You're doing smoothies
every day. Clay has a smoothie for lunch. Sometimes I'm
sneaking shake shack like I gotta the Clay. The Clay
smoothie regimen is is very have a smoothie.
Speaker 3 (33:41):
For lunch every day. We don't have a lot of
time to eat. And so if you watch the video
you'll see me. I mean, I can have a smoothie
without drawing a ton of attention or making a huge mess.
They tell me Buck that KKU listener talk back KK
that I must listen to before, by the way, a.
Speaker 1 (33:58):
Mystery, A mystery talkback. Let's see if the audience can
figure out who it is.
Speaker 9 (34:02):
These are crazy times we live in. I don't know
how it got to this point, but in the spirit
of Donald Trump, who brought peace to the Middle East,
he's bringing peace to Ukraine and Russia. Was it nine
peace Deals?
Speaker 7 (34:15):
Now?
Speaker 1 (34:15):
I don't know how this.
Speaker 9 (34:16):
Whole insult of Buck Sexton's serve came about, But Clay,
I want you to be the bigger man here and apologize.
I checked Bucks serving fundamentals his technique. And we're talking
rocket Rod Laver stuff here. We're talking gorn Ivanisovich or
Michael Steek. We're talking about a guy that is really
(34:39):
extending his toss is perfect. He crossed one hundred mile
an hour spectrum. I really think an apology is in
order for our tennis star, Buck Sexton, and let's bring
peace back to the airwaves.
Speaker 1 (34:54):
I had to say, that's very clearly our fantastic lead
in on KTRH in Houston, mister Mike Barry, who when
he is doing his post show sometimes listens in and
knows what's going on. So he's waiting in to be fair.
Clay you were actually pretty neutral about the serve issue.
You're pretty neutral now, Lars.
Speaker 7 (35:12):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (35:12):
Maybe you can do it, maybe you can't.
Speaker 3 (35:14):
Now, Laura, Laura Travis, I would have to put solidly
in the hater contingent.
Speaker 1 (35:19):
Now she was a doubt I would say doubter. She
was a doubter for sure.
Speaker 3 (35:22):
We are in the process of moving, which means that
she has not been listening to the show very often
in the last ten or twelve days.
Speaker 2 (35:31):
So I think if she.
Speaker 3 (35:33):
Had been aware that you would hit one hundred miles
an hour serve, she would be zu Bruder film style
analyzing this to see whether or not she's going to it.
Speaker 1 (35:41):
Submitted as there's plenty of time for a talkback from
Laura next week if she just wants to say, you know, Buck,
who would know with all that poofy hair in that
giant head, your momentum on that serve was more than
people would have expected. So there you go.
Speaker 3 (35:56):
A lot of people are saying it was the haircut
that actually was the more aerodynamic. That's true, there was
extra aerodynamics. Wait, we got a good one for you, though,
where's the uh where's the one about?
Speaker 7 (36:07):
Is it? Uh? Hold?
Speaker 1 (36:09):
On a second. All right, look l ll hit ll talkback.
Now that Buckets proved that he could hit a ball
over one hundred miles an hour, let's see if Clay
can prove that he can swim from Alcatraz to the beach.
Keep up the good work again.
Speaker 3 (36:26):
But I think we gotta we gotta do this. But
also we got to raise some money or something, and
we got raise money. And again my concern is not
the swim, it's the sharks.
Speaker 7 (36:34):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (36:35):
I don't want to get killed. There's too many people
who would exalt uh and uh, I don't want to
make Maybe to make it more interesting, we dangle some
good ranchers steaks off like a little string. You know,
they have to be unhappy about me still being alive
for as long as I can make that a reality.
