Hour 3 of The Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Show dives into a wide range of trending cultural and political topics, offering sharp commentary and listener interaction just days before Thanksgiving. Clay opens the hour discussing holiday travel headaches, including the perennial debate over reclining airplane seats, before pivoting to breaking political news and social dynamics shaping America today. The conversation kicks off with leaked text messages from Democratic Senator Ruben Gallego, sparking a candid discussion about the identity crisis within the Democratic Party. Clay highlights Gallego’s critique that Democrats have shifted from a “fun” party to one obsessed with policing behavior, contrasting past eras of freedom with today’s rigid norms. This segues into a broader cultural debate on dating, marriage, and gender roles, as callers weigh in on why modern relationships feel fractured. Clay explores how technology, social media, and shifting expectations have created a “buffet culture” for men, questioning whether what’s marketed as female empowerment has inadvertently fulfilled decades-old male fantasies of commitment-free intimacy. Listeners from across the country join the conversation, sharing perspectives on dating challenges, singlehood, and societal expectations. Clay humorously reflects on historical norms like shotgun weddings and contrasts them with today’s hookup culture, raising concerns about declining birth rates and long-term family stability. The hour also touches on biological realities, gender differences, and the unintended consequences of the sexual revolution. In the political arena, Congressman Chip Roy joins Clay to discuss his campaign for Texas Attorney General, the state’s upcoming rivalry game between Texas and Texas A&M, and pressing national issues. Roy emphasizes gratitude for President Donald Trump’s decisive action on border security and crime reduction, framing these achievements as foundational to restoring safety and sovereignty. He addresses economic concerns, inflation, and affordability, noting progress under Trump’s leadership while urging patience as policies take effect. The discussion underscores Trump’s commitment to securing America’s borders, revitalizing manufacturing, and strengthening national defense. Breaking news closes the segment: President Trump announces significant progress toward a peace plan to end the Russia-Ukraine war, directing top envoys to engage with Moscow and Kyiv. Clay and Roy analyze the geopolitical stakes and Trump’s longstanding pledge to prioritize peace over endless conflict. The hour wraps on a lighter note with Thanksgiving talk—Chip Roy reveals his top holiday dish pick (fried okra) and shares family traditions, while Clay previews a football-packed holiday weekend. Listeners continue to engage with spirited takes on dating, cultural shifts, and even movie sequel ideas for Trump to greenlight.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome in our number three.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
Let's have some fun as we roll closer to Thanksgiving
with many of you out there beginning the process of traveling.
Buck is traveling to New York City to be with
his family. I will be traveling soon to be with
my family as well. Many of you out there will
be traveling and having to deal with travel terrorists who
recline their seats in front of you, render your otherwise
(00:23):
hospitable trip miserable.
Speaker 1 (00:26):
We'll have. This story is just breaking.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
This is Jack Posobic, who I believe is at turning point.
There are text leaking We always have the text leaking stories.
This is one that actually proves that many of us
are completely sane and that lots of Democrats know how
crazy their party has become.
Speaker 1 (00:47):
We're talking about Afton Baine and all that.
Speaker 2 (00:49):
Ruben Gago is a senator from Arizona.
Speaker 1 (00:55):
This is leaked again and again.
Speaker 2 (00:58):
Let me just say this, I don't like the concept
of texts leaking in general. No matter who you are
out there, you are texting with people. It doesn't feel
fair to me when you are texting for a private audience.
Speaker 1 (01:15):
Uh that the text go public.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
Unless it's not like the Jay Jones stuff where it's
like I want my political opponents to be murdered.
Speaker 1 (01:23):
It's like, Okay, this.
Speaker 2 (01:25):
I think may have gotten leaked intentionally by Ruben Diego's
team because it actually makes me like him more.
Speaker 1 (01:31):
Uh So in general.
Speaker 2 (01:33):
Anti text link leak edge. But here's what he say.
He is talking about how the Democrat Party has lost
its way. We look this is Ruben Diego, Senator from Arizona.
According to the Jack Pasobic leak, we look like the
not fun party, always telling and correcting people, not allowing
men to be men, women to be hot. We used
(01:54):
to be the party of sex, drugs and rock and roll.
Now dim women look like dem men and dim men
look like women. He's not wrong, and it'll be interesting
to see how much heat he gets for this.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
Again.
Speaker 2 (02:13):
I think he may have leaked to this because I
think there's a world where he believes that there is
going to be a lane for sanity in the Democrat Party.
And there have been rumors that Reuben Diego might decide
to run for president in twenty twenty eight. Every Democrat
(02:34):
on the planet basically is going to be running for
president in twenty twenty eight. Okay, I have promised that
I would get to your calls. A ton of you
are waiting. You can also always hop in the talkback community,
Christy for really, I think Christy, you called in Utah.
According to the team, you were trying to get a
job in HR. How has that been going? Is CHRISTI
(02:59):
way this?
Speaker 3 (03:01):
Can you hear me?
Speaker 1 (03:02):
Yeah? We got you?
Speaker 3 (03:03):
Okay? All right?
Speaker 4 (03:04):
Hell?
Speaker 3 (03:04):
What's for me? So? The john market sucks? I can
give you a quick update if you want, so, we'll
do it yesterday if you check that link then, because
nurses all over the country are pissed because of the
reflusification from professional to de professionals. But the reason they
did that is because of the loans. Nurses take out
(03:26):
so many wounds and they take so long to pay back.
So there's a lot of misinformation going on out there,
and that's it's hot.
Speaker 1 (03:34):
Are we on? Do you have us on? Do you
have us on speaker? Christy?
Speaker 3 (03:39):
No, you're on my Can.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
You can you just talk to us into the phone itself?
I think we'll be able to hear you a little
bit better. Yes, I think, okay, Yeah, We've got you. Okay,
So you wanted to say a lot of women are single,
not by choice because guys suck.
Speaker 5 (03:59):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (04:00):
Okay, so here's the deal. There's a lot of us
who are decent women, and there was a period of
time where it came out and dating just stopped, so
the numbers of women compared to the amount of men, like,
there's just more women options. So guys started becoming very picky,
(04:22):
very selective. And I'm not saying you shouldn't be, but
I don't know what it is. But there was a
point where there were a lot of women that were
just being overlooked.
Speaker 3 (04:30):
So it's not that they didn't want to get married,
they didn't want to have.
Speaker 6 (04:33):
Kids, but it takes two people to have that happen.
So I feel like there's a different side to this,
and guys have to bear some responsibility because there are
a lot of single, average looking guys and who you know,
don't have a decent career or whatever, who are holding
out for something just unrealistic.
Speaker 3 (04:54):
And I don't know where that came from.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
Okay, thank you for the call. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
Look, I wrote a lot about this in my book,
and I get it because I hear from single women
all the time.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
To be fair, some of you are in your eighties.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
I bet when you were in your twenties, women were
complaining that there were no good men around, Like I
have some fun here, I guarantee you. Guys finished storming
the beaches of Normandy fighting Nazis, and they came back
to the United States and women were like, there's just
no good men around. And the soldier I just killed
(05:38):
Hitler with my bare hands.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
I was fighting the Nazis.
Speaker 2 (05:43):
All over France, all over Germany, and I come back
to the United States and all the girls back in
the States are like, oh, there's.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
Just no good men. We can't fight. They just beat
the Nazis. They're the greatest generation of all time, all right.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
So I do think there probably have always been women
complaining that there aren't enough good men. I don't hear
that many men complain that there aren't enough good women.
Speaker 1 (06:14):
Has that been a trend for a long time.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
I think that the sexes are different now because a
lot of guys are afraid of approaching girls. This is
like the Bill Ackman thing that we talked about last week.
May I speak to you or may I meet you?
I think, was what he said. I think because people
live on their phone so much I think a lot
of guys out there, and I got three boys, so
(06:38):
I certainly understand this world. I think a lot of
guys get on their phone and they send like sixty
dms to girls on Instagram and just wait to see
who's gonna bite.
Speaker 1 (06:50):
And I think that girls are used to being chased.
Speaker 2 (06:53):
And I think men have never had it easier than
right now. In fact, and I write about this in
the book. If you went back in time to nineteen
sixty two and you told a single guy in nineteen
sixty two, right, some of you out there listening were,
(07:14):
in fact single in.
Speaker 1 (07:15):
Nineteen sixty two. If you said, hey.
Speaker 2 (07:18):
In the future in twenty twenty five, guys are going
to be able to have sex with almost no commitment.
You're not even going to have to take girls out
to dinner. You're going to be able to just get
on your phone, which now is mobile, and you're going
to be able to send a message to sixty different girls.
(07:40):
You up, where are you at now, not even using
basic grammatical correctness, And you are going to be able
to have abundant women respond to that, And you are
going to be able to have completely no strings attached sex.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
With many of them. Would that be a world that.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
Single men in nineteen sixty two had wanted or a
world in nineteen sixty two that single women had wanted.
My point here, I think a lot of women, through
the guys of female empowerment, have actually ended up signing
up for what every single man in the nineteen sixties
(08:24):
would have dreamed of. Unlimited buffet of sex, limited commitment,
almost no restrictions for male sexual appetite at all.
Speaker 1 (08:38):
Is that really women's empowerment?
Speaker 2 (08:40):
If men get everything they ever wanted as single men
and it's being sold to women as go girl, this
is your world now, girl boss era. I don't really
blame men. I mean men are getting it's really funny.
It's really funny, and trying to address it in a
(09:01):
comedic way because I know some of the women out
there are like crying. Some of you have daughters and granddaughters,
and you're like, hello, and they're probably gonna clip this
and they're gonna, you know, they're gonna come after me.
Speaker 1 (09:12):
Do you remember the era of shotgun weddings?
Speaker 2 (09:16):
People are like, oh, you know that guy, he got
hurt pregnant and dad showed up with a shotgun. And
now they're getting married and people are like, boy, you know,
it's good that we moved on from that. You know,
the concept of a shotgun marriage was if you get
a woman pregnant, you have an obligation to help raise
the child, even potentially marrying the woman, and the dad's
(09:40):
gonna show up and he's gonna shoot you if you
don't do it, because you numb nuts. You put yourself
in this position. And we're not just gonna make a
woman raise a baby by herself and let the guy
run off into the world and not have to deal
with the responsibilities or obligations that he's helped to create.
That was like nineteen fifties, nineteen sixties, men had real obligations,
(10:09):
and we've created this world where women have been convinced
that all of their choices actually fulfill every male fantasy
from the nineteen sixties and certainly the nineteen forties and
nineteen thirties. You don't even have to buy a girl
(10:30):
a meal. All you gotta do is send a drunk
Instagram DM and girls are just chasing boys.
Speaker 1 (10:41):
Is it any wonder.
Speaker 2 (10:42):
That people aren't coming together because girls are being sold? Hey,
you should have masculine sex drive, and men are like,
why would I, Why would I? Why would I step
away from the buffet. I've got unlimited options with virtually
no comment. That doesn't seem like an ideal world to women.
(11:05):
Now again, this is going into the biology. It doesn't
add up right women. Sorry, if you need to share
this Glay Travis does Birds and the Bees, you can
clip it and share it with your kids. Women have
a limited number of eggs that they produce in their lifetime.
They should be selective in who they choose to reproduce
(11:27):
with because they have a limited number of children that
they could produce in their life. Men were like a
machine gun just firing off in every direction.
Speaker 1 (11:41):
Men like, go, look at what gay dudes do.
Speaker 2 (11:45):
When I was in college, they had a huge scandal
on campus because one of the bathrooms, gay dudes just
were showing up and banging each other like crazy in there.
Speaker 1 (11:58):
That doesn't happen in women's bathroom.
Speaker 2 (12:02):
There's never been a scandal on a college campus ever
where it's like, Hey, a bunch of chicks are showing
up in a bathroom.
Speaker 1 (12:09):
And just going to town on each other. It doesn't happen.
Speaker 2 (12:12):
By the way, they make movies about that they tend
to do pretty well.
Speaker 1 (12:15):
Because men like the idea. The sexes are very different.
Speaker 2 (12:20):
Men are often stupid, They don't want to commit, They
want to fire off in every direction. You tell a
guy there's an orgy in a bathroom, a bunch of
dudes are showing up.
Speaker 1 (12:33):
Chicks are all right.
Speaker 2 (12:36):
What if you went back in time when Playboy magazine
was first created, when Hugh Hefner was like, Hey, I
got this idea, Marilyn Monroe, take your top off. Men
are going to buy this magazine like crazy.
Speaker 1 (12:47):
He was right. Nineteen fifties, nineteen sixties.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
The sexual revolution that was created actually is just every
male fantasy fulfills and women have signed onto it thinking
that it's the girl boss era. And guess what, a
lot of you are looking around like, hey, this is
not actually that great for us. Men see us as disposable,
(13:14):
they won't commit to us, and as a result, everybody's angry.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
And by the way, it doesn't actually.
Speaker 2 (13:22):
Work that well for most guys, because most guys don't
have a cornucopia of options. The rich guys do, the
tall guys do, the good looking guys do, the quarterbacks do.
But the guys that are further down on the float chart,
they can't find a girl because the girls all want
the exact same guy. I actually disagree with the caller.
(13:44):
I think men have lower standards for women than women
do for men. Does that make sense? I think there's
always a guy who will be attracted to a girl.
I think that most women want the same thing. Not
to say they won't settle. Heck, I've been married for
twenty years. I don't think my wife got the greatest
(14:06):
draw of all time. Let's be honest. But most women,
they're like, I want a guy who's six foot tall.
I want a guy with hair. I want a guy
who makes six figures. Right, most women desire the same thing.
Why do they want that? Stability? Security? That actually makes
sense biologically right? A five foot two hundred and twenty
pound dude, Sorry, who's bald? Sorry if that's you right now,
(14:30):
I'm not trying to take a personal shot at you.
Most women or not, that's the man that I want
to spend the rest of my life with. Most there's
some maybe, hopefully anyway, there is my solution to the world.
Just think about it. I don't hear very many people
pointed out, but what has been sold as female empowerment
is actually every man's sexual fantasy from the nineteen fifties
(14:53):
and nineteen sixties in real life today.
Speaker 1 (14:57):
And don't even get me started on these guys can
go to college campuses now for tailgates.
Speaker 2 (15:04):
We look at old guys. Girls are running around what
they're wearing on campus. They can't even believe that this
world exists. It really is a buffet for single men
with no actually restrictions on their behavior at all. And
it's not a surprise to me that a lot of
women are looking around and say, wait a minute, is
this actually a good spot? Why can we not get
(15:25):
a man to commit Because he's got a phone in
his hand and he can text sixty girls simultaneously and
one of them is going to respond. The buffet is
always open, and it's not actually that beneficial for most
young women.
Speaker 1 (15:38):
That's my theory. Maybe I'm wrong, maybe I'm an old guy.
I got no idea.
Speaker 2 (15:41):
I wrote about it some in the book, but in
all seriousness, I do sit around and think about it,
because ultimately, if people are not having kids, if men
and women are not coming together and they're not happy,
then we're in a really tough spot. And that's what
you're seeing is the number of kids in America is plummeting.
And by the way, left wing chicks who are the
(16:02):
most into women's empowerment, none of them are having kids.
It's like the crazy Aft and Bain chicks. She even
looks down on people who get married. You want to
save some money, Pure talks a great way to save
some money. All you have to do is go right

A year, you could save one thousand dollars. As we
come up on the holiday season, Thursday is Thanksgiving. Four
weeks from Thursday is Christmas. How many of you are
looking at those bank accounts the same boy, It's gonna
be expensive. We're gonna have to go into debt for presents.
We're gonna have to go into debt for travel. How
many of you would like to have an extra thousand
(16:42):
dollars right now in your bank accounts? You can take
advantage right now of Pure Talk. Get prepared for the

Clay and Buck, brand.

That's Pound two five zero, say Clay and Buck.
Speaker 7 (17:19):
Clay, Travis and Buck Sexton Mike drops that never sounded
so good. Find them on the free iHeartRadio app or
wherever you get your podcasts.
Speaker 1 (17:36):
Welcome back in play Travis Bucks section show. I already
know what the headliness are gonna be. Clay Travis says
shotgun wedding should come back.
Speaker 2 (17:43):
I'm just saying there was a time when men had
responsibility when kids are gonna be born. And honestly, the
group that has been the most impacted by this, nobody
really talks about it.
Speaker 1 (17:57):
But obviously I am Civil Rights era. Pre Civil Rights era.
Speaker 2 (18:02):
Black kids overwhelmingly grew up in households with mom and
dad both present. Post Civil Rights era black kids grow up,
oftentimes huge majorities without dad's present.
Speaker 1 (18:15):
Why did that happen?
Speaker 2 (18:16):
Why did the pre racist America do a better job
of preserving the black family.
Speaker 1 (18:21):
I think partly it's culture.
Speaker 2 (18:22):
I think it's one of the biggest questions that should
be asked in America today. Look, Rapid radios, you're gonna
be on the road. A lot of you, ninety percent
of you who are traveling, gonna be on the road.
Maybe you're gonna be in multiple cars. Maybe you got
different people in different cars.
Speaker 1 (18:34):
Remember back in the.
Speaker 2 (18:34):
Day, used to have those Gijo radios you could talk
back and forth from one car to another.
Speaker 1 (18:39):
Rapid radios can do that.
Speaker 2 (18:40):
Five day charge also work great in the event of catastrophe.

of truth.
Speaker 2 (19:12):
Welcome back in Clay Travis buck Sexton Show. Appreciate all
of you hanging out with us. Two days before Thanksgiving.
We are rolling through the program, a lot of you
weighing in with a variety of different topics out there,
and we'll get some of your calls to close up
shop right now. So tell me in my ear who
(19:33):
the actual guest is. Congressman Chip Roy is with us
right now. Big game coming up in Texas, the fighting
Texas A and m Aggie's going on the road against
your Texas Longhorns. I believe you are a split family.
Who are the kids rooting for? And I'm sure it's
(19:54):
going to be an interesting Thanksgiving given the return of
a huge rivalry with the greatest season in modern Texas
A and M history on the line here.
Speaker 5 (20:05):
Yeah, no question, great to be on Clay. It's certainly
great to have the rivalry game back. It was a
long time not having it for the state of Texas.
You rightly point out my wife is an Aggie. Look,
my kids are very are very much in the A
and M direction. So we'll be at the game in Austin,
(20:25):
We'll be there at ut and you know, look, I
think this is going to boil down to who wants
it more. I mean, these games turn into sort of
fifty to fifty games no matter what, and in this case,
You've got an undefeated A and M who if they win,
they know they're in the SEC championship game. They know
they're in the driver's seat heading into the playoffs. You
(20:46):
got a UT that doesn't want to lose at home,
has had a really good record at home now for
a while. I think we've had like one loss in
the last three seasons or whatever at home. And you know,
you've got a situation as to whether the offensive line
and Texas is going to do what they need to
do to give Arch time and then see what who
(21:07):
wants it more? I think that's what it boils down to.
Speaker 2 (21:10):
You're running for attorney General in Texas. We'll get into
that in a sec. Because you guys have an early
primary in March. Do you have an official take on
I'm going to be on an airplane later. Ninety percent
of people are driving, ten percent flying. This is the
busiest travel day of the year. You travel a lot
because you've had to go back and forth between DC
and Texas a ton over the past several years. What
(21:32):
is your perspective on reclining seats.
Speaker 5 (21:38):
I mean, man, talk about the important questions. Look, I
gotta tell you when I'm sitting there in a smashed
sub seat and somebody reclines in front of me. Yeah,
it definitely elevates the blood pressure.
Speaker 1 (21:48):
But you get my vote, you know, Look, you get
my vote.
Speaker 2 (21:50):
That's the right answer. That's the right answer here. I
can't vote in the Texas Attorney general race. I'm not
a Democrat. If I were, I probably find a way
to vote. But if I were in Texas, you would
have just gotten my vote. With your take on reclining seats.
How is the campaign going and what is the overall
vibe you would say that you see as you go
(22:11):
around campaigning all over Texas.
Speaker 5 (22:14):
Look, right now, what we've got are people in Texas
who are just deeply thankful the President Trump has done
the main thing that he campaigned on, which was securing
the border of the United States. I cannot tell you
how important that is the people of Texas and what
that's meant for sanity and what we're dealing with in
South Texas and ranches and fentanyl pouring in and the
(22:36):
danger at posted to our communities and everybody's feeling that nationwide.
Of course, everybody's talking about affordability, and that is a
major issue, and we're talking about it, We're campaigning on it,
and obviously I'm going out in Texas and I'm talking
about the Suria law and the extent to which there's
the Islamification of Texas and the borders and the crime
on the streets. But affordability is a major issue. Is
(22:57):
I'm still a member of Congress, and the President's doing
a lot of great work there. I had a long
meeting with the Secretary of the Treasury, Scott Bessett, last Friday.
We talked about a number of issues, one of which
was affordability, and everybody gets we need to deal with
healthcare issues, housing costs, and getting grocery prices down. But
part of it's a little bit of patience. Now, you know, Clay,
you and I are getting old, so we're old enough
(23:19):
to remember the Reagan era, and you know, he came
in nineteen eighty one and it took a little while
to unwind the damage of the Carter hears. Yeah, and
we're nine ten months in, right, and the President we
passed the big beautiful bill. We've cut taxes, we're deregulating
or we're strengthening our military, we're getting sanity back. We
got a little patience. We got to head into the
mid you know, midterms, and make sure we deliver for
(23:41):
the country for people who are concerned about and I
am too, like I don't like going and seeing six
dollars seven dollars ground beef. You know, like things are
expensive and everybody knows it. But we're unwinding that the
overall inflation numbers trending in the right direction. We've got
to do our part to grow the economy, cut spending,
get healthcare in the right place. And we're taking the
(24:02):
right steps, but we got to make sure that we
get out and explain to the American people that were
delivering for them on the things they care about.
Speaker 2 (24:08):
You know, that's an important point because I started off
the show talking about it, economy, border crime. Trump delivered
on the border. He's delivered on crime in a substantial way.
You talked about the impact of the border in Texas,
but on the economy, I talked specifically about this Jimmy Carter.
It took a while for people to get over the
awful inflation of the Carter era, and in fact, if
(24:31):
people out there, I've studied it, we were young, but
if you look, it took it till about nineteen eighty
four when Reagan came out and squashed forty nine out
of fifty states, every state of Minnesota. Everybody said, you
know what, things are getting fixed. It might not be
the case unfortunately that everybody can see how much work
(24:53):
Trump has done by next year.
Speaker 1 (24:55):
And you know this, Congressman. One of the challenges is telling.
Speaker 2 (24:59):
People something that they haven't seen yet can make you
seem like you're out of touch, right me, you everybody
out there who says, hey, trust me, inflation's coming down.
Speaker 1 (25:09):
But I talked about this the other day.
Speaker 2 (25:11):
When I go to subway and it cost me nearly
thirty bucks for me and my son to go have
a subway meal, or it cost me fifty bucks to
go to Chick fil A. Things just cost more in
when I see the reality, than it seems like they
should cost in my head.
Speaker 5 (25:27):
Yeah, Clay, you nailed it. And this is one of
the things that I'm dealing with when I talk to
the people across Texas. Right here. You said it like
crime and border I think people get that we've delivered
on and I just want to remind people how important
that is. You can't just unring the bell once you've
created the damage. It takes a little bit of time
to go fix all of that. And when it comes
to the affordability issue, like remember that some of this
(25:51):
is working through a trajectory. Shift the trajectory to Donald
Trump and that the current Republican Congress is putting the
country on is a trajectory of success for our kids
and our grandkids. We're talking about unwinding the extent to
which we're dependent on China for manufacturing, reclaiming manufacturing in
(26:12):
the United States, securing the border, kicking people out who
shouldn't be here, making our streets safe again. Like Charlie
Kirk when he talked about what he wanted, he wanted
his daughter to be able to walk down the streets safe.
He wanted more people to know Jesus. He wanted to
have a community that you could know the people next
to you. We're trying to rebuild that America and do
(26:33):
so while we're growing an AI but doing it smart.
Figure out how we can do the things that we
want to so that we have the America for our
kids and our grandkids where we're safe, secure, where we
have a military. By the way, military, let's take that alone.
Recruiting is up and listenans is up. The academies are
competitive again because people believe it's a place where you
(26:54):
want to send your son or your daughter to be
able to train it up, but also to serve our country.
These are all things we should be applauding running on
and yes, acknowledging openly and honestly with the people of
the United States that we have much more work to
do to make it affordable. I admit it. I have
to go buy those same groceries. It's brutal, and we
(27:15):
my wife and I have to work through a budget.
And guess what, I feel it too, So we've got
to keep working through it. But the country's trend, our
trajectory is in a to a direction of safety, security, sovereignty, strength, confidence,
and something you're proud of. And that's what we need
to run.
Speaker 2 (27:33):
On breaking news. I'll get your reaction to this on
the way out. President Trump has just posted over the
past week, my team has made tremendous progress with respect
to ending the war between Russia and Ukraine. I'm summarizing
the post that literally, he just posted in the last
couple of minutes. I am now he said in the
hopes of finalizing this piece plan. I've directed my Special ENVOYE.
(27:56):
Steve Wikoff to meet with President Putin in Moscow. But
at the same time Secretary of the Army Dan Driscoll
will be meeting with the Ukrainians. I'll be briefed on
all progress made along with Jade Vance, Marco Rubio, Pete
Hegseth and Susie Wiles look forward to hopefully meeting with
President Zelenski and President Putin soon. This is President Trump's
(28:18):
post he just put up, but only when the deal
to end the war is final or in its final stages.
He hopes again peace can be accomplished as soon as possible.
Speaker 1 (28:28):
I know there's a lot of things going on.
Speaker 2 (28:29):
Are you optimistic to President Trump can deliver on trying
to get a peace agreement in Ukraine? Again, this is
just coming down in the last two minutes.
Speaker 5 (28:39):
If anybody can, the President can. And what I mean
by that is he has been committed and resolved to
peace since he has been a candidate and since he's
been in office, first term and second term. That's been
his driving force. Marco Rubio, same thing. I know this
because I talked to Marco about this. Before he was
the Secretary of State. These are people who want do
(29:00):
you end up in a place where we no longer
have endless wars but we have peace? So do I
know that this is going to work out? No, I
haven't seen the details of it yet. But I go
back to my point about trajectory and who do you
want running the country. Do you want someone who wants
to continue war because you're trying to pursue some fanciful
notion of what you think is right for the people
(29:22):
of Ukraine, Or do you want to find a way
to get this to peace and make sure that we're
protecting the boundaries and protecting Eastern Europe while making sure
that we are not engaging in endless conflict. I think
that's where the President is. I think that's where the
American people are, and I think it's critically important that
people realize we need to make decisions on geopolitical questions.
(29:45):
We need to make those decisions based on what is
good for our country and national security, not on what's
good for the pocketbooks of people trading stocks, including members
of Congress that are day trading while we're trying to
figure out whether or not we should start another war.
Now two day American people are I know this because
I represent them.
Speaker 2 (30:04):
Two days until Thanksgiving. I'll let you go out on
this question. What is your number one draft pick of
Thanksgiving dinner? If you could only go one time and
you had only one thing to put on your plate,
it would be what.
Speaker 5 (30:17):
Man, that's a great question, and I'm going to surprise you.
But I'm a textan and I'm proud of it. My
wife literally makes the best of it anywhere in the world.
It's fried okra.
Speaker 1 (30:26):
Oh wow. Interesting. You know my fifteen year old one
of his favorite things in the world.
Speaker 2 (30:31):
I mean, he will almost get a full plate, like
if you get multiple if you can get a side
at a dinner, he'll say, just give me double fried okra.
So it's off the board a little bit. But I
think you got a solid pick there.
Speaker 5 (30:44):
Yeah, Look you gotta get Look. I love the traditionals.
I mean, I'm a cranberry out of the can guy.
I'm a dress stuffing like my mom makes a traditional
cornbread dressing.
Speaker 1 (30:54):
I love it.
Speaker 5 (30:54):
I'm a fried the turkey guy. We're getting I got
the fryer off prepared. We're going to be frying the
Turkey on Thursday morning. Look, I mean, I love you,
gotta have the right gravy, but if you're asking me
to pick, I gotta have.
Speaker 1 (31:05):
The one thing.

Buckle be with me tomorrow. We appreciate all of you
hanging out with us. We have got so many reactions
(33:23):
rolling in. I need to pull up and and see
all of the different suggestions. We're having fun with it.
It actually is really ridiculous. But Trump has gotten rush
hour for greenlit, and there are tons of you out
there weighing in with the next movie that you would
like the president to greenlight.
Speaker 1 (33:43):
But we have a suggestion. I think this is Gigi.
Speaker 2 (33:47):
Why can Cindy's unhappy from Virginia.
Speaker 1 (33:51):
What's the issue with men? She has a perspective.
Speaker 4 (33:54):
Listen, Cindy from Virginia, Clay. All the men today are gay, Okay,
that's why we can't find a good man. It's like
picking through a haystack looking for that little needle, and
I'm telling you they're just not there. I can see
where the girls go the other way.
Speaker 2 (34:18):
You guys are great. That is Cindy. Big issue is
that there's all the guys are gay. I understand why
the women can't find him. Mike and Raleigh, North Carolina,
we're often number one in Raleigh. We appreciate all you
listening in North Carolina. One oh six point one FM
says he's got a take on my rant to start
off hour three about how women are upset because they've
(34:40):
created a world that actually is just every man's fantasy fulfilled.
Speaker 8 (34:43):
Listen, hey, Glay, Mike here in North Carolina. I'm six
foot six inches.
Speaker 1 (34:48):
Tall, not really built for airplane travel, you know not
why I'm just tall, And I mean.
Speaker 8 (34:56):
Even when the seats not reclined, my knees are in
the back of the seat in front of me. So
when people decided to recline their chair, you know, shortly
after watching me walk right past them, it's just so inconsiderate.
Speaker 1 (35:11):
Amen.
Speaker 2 (35:12):
Look, I've got a ton of emails rolling in. Maybe
we'll hit some of these tomorrow. I'm sure we're gonna
get a ton of talkbacks too. But I was a
VIP email from Fred Clay. I think you were reading
my biography. I graduated high school nineteen sixty one, joined
the Navy, got my girlfriend pregnant, had a shotgun wedding
sixty third anniversary in January.
Speaker 1 (35:32):
Also was a Playboy subscriber. He says back in the day.
Speaker 2 (35:35):
Got a good laugh about your talk, and a ton
of people out there are weighing in. Joe says Clay,
You're so right about the situation with women and men.
I came of age in the sixties and seventies, was
sold out on Women's Live. Love the opportunity, but not
the part about hating men. Women have created this nightmare.
We need guys to be strong fathers to kids. Guys
(35:58):
don't want to be bossed around, just loved and respected.
Women set the standard for what guys get away with sexually.
Speaker 1 (36:05):
Not cool to have three.
Speaker 2 (36:06):
Baby daddies were self respect and acting with class. Your
biggest fan from East Tennessee go falls tons of these
rolling in. Appreciate all of you. My cousin Vinnie. By
the way, most common movie that you guys would like
Trump to get a sequel made, that's actually really a
fun one. Love all of you will be back, be
(36:29):
safe on your travels, and we will Buck and I
talk with you tomorrow on Thanksgiving Eve.
Speaker 1 (36:35):
Thanks for haging what
Speaker 7 (36:36):
Up sleeve Travis and Buck Sexton on the front lines
of truth.
Welcome in our number three.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
Let's have some fun as we roll closer to Thanksgiving
with many of you out there beginning the process of traveling.
Buck is traveling to New York City to be with
his family. I will be traveling soon to be with
my family as well. Many of you out there will
be traveling and having to deal with travel terrorists who
recline their seats in front of you, render your otherwise
(00:23):
hospitable trip miserable.
Speaker 1 (00:26):
We'll have. This story is just breaking.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
This is Jack Posobic, who I believe is at turning point.
There are text leaking We always have the text leaking stories.
This is one that actually proves that many of us
are completely sane and that lots of Democrats know how
crazy their party has become.
Speaker 1 (00:47):
We're talking about Afton Baine and all that.
Speaker 2 (00:49):
Ruben Gago is a senator from Arizona.
Speaker 1 (00:55):
This is leaked again and again.
Speaker 2 (00:58):
Let me just say this, I don't like the concept
of texts leaking in general. No matter who you are
out there, you are texting with people. It doesn't feel
fair to me when you are texting for a private audience.
Speaker 1 (01:15):
Uh that the text go public.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
Unless it's not like the Jay Jones stuff where it's
like I want my political opponents to be murdered.
Speaker 1 (01:23):
It's like, Okay, this.
Speaker 2 (01:25):
I think may have gotten leaked intentionally by Ruben Diego's
team because it actually makes me like him more.
Speaker 1 (01:31):
Uh So in general.
Speaker 2 (01:33):
Anti text link leak edge. But here's what he say.
He is talking about how the Democrat Party has lost
its way. We look this is Ruben Diego, Senator from Arizona.
According to the Jack Pasobic leak, we look like the
not fun party, always telling and correcting people, not allowing
men to be men, women to be hot. We used
(01:54):
to be the party of sex, drugs and rock and roll.
Now dim women look like dem men and dim men
look like women. He's not wrong, and it'll be interesting
to see how much heat he gets for this.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
Again.
Speaker 2 (02:13):
I think he may have leaked to this because I
think there's a world where he believes that there is
going to be a lane for sanity in the Democrat Party.
And there have been rumors that Reuben Diego might decide
to run for president in twenty twenty eight. Every Democrat
(02:34):
on the planet basically is going to be running for
president in twenty twenty eight. Okay, I have promised that
I would get to your calls. A ton of you
are waiting. You can also always hop in the talkback community,
Christy for really, I think Christy, you called in Utah.
According to the team, you were trying to get a
job in HR. How has that been going? Is CHRISTI
(02:59):
way this?
Speaker 3 (03:01):
Can you hear me?
Speaker 1 (03:02):
Yeah? We got you?
Speaker 3 (03:03):
Okay? All right?
Speaker 4 (03:04):
Hell?
Speaker 3 (03:04):
What's for me? So? The john market sucks? I can
give you a quick update if you want, so, we'll
do it yesterday if you check that link then, because
nurses all over the country are pissed because of the
reflusification from professional to de professionals. But the reason they
did that is because of the loans. Nurses take out
(03:26):
so many wounds and they take so long to pay back.
So there's a lot of misinformation going on out there,
and that's it's hot.
Speaker 1 (03:34):
Are we on? Do you have us on? Do you
have us on speaker? Christy?
Speaker 3 (03:39):
No, you're on my Can.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
You can you just talk to us into the phone itself?
I think we'll be able to hear you a little
bit better. Yes, I think, okay, Yeah, We've got you. Okay,
So you wanted to say a lot of women are single,
not by choice because guys suck.
Speaker 5 (03:59):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (04:00):
Okay, so here's the deal. There's a lot of us
who are decent women, and there was a period of
time where it came out and dating just stopped, so
the numbers of women compared to the amount of men, like,
there's just more women options. So guys started becoming very picky,
(04:22):
very selective. And I'm not saying you shouldn't be, but
I don't know what it is. But there was a
point where there were a lot of women that were
just being overlooked.
Speaker 3 (04:30):
So it's not that they didn't want to get married,
they didn't want to have.
Speaker 6 (04:33):
Kids, but it takes two people to have that happen.
So I feel like there's a different side to this,
and guys have to bear some responsibility because there are
a lot of single, average looking guys and who you know,
don't have a decent career or whatever, who are holding
out for something just unrealistic.
Speaker 3 (04:54):
And I don't know where that came from.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
Okay, thank you for the call. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
Look, I wrote a lot about this in my book,
and I get it because I hear from single women
all the time.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
To be fair, some of you are in your eighties.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
I bet when you were in your twenties, women were
complaining that there were no good men around, Like I
have some fun here, I guarantee you. Guys finished storming
the beaches of Normandy fighting Nazis, and they came back
to the United States and women were like, there's just
no good men around. And the soldier I just killed
(05:38):
Hitler with my bare hands.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
I was fighting the Nazis.
Speaker 2 (05:43):
All over France, all over Germany, and I come back
to the United States and all the girls back in
the States are like, oh, there's.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
Just no good men. We can't fight. They just beat
the Nazis. They're the greatest generation of all time, all right.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
So I do think there probably have always been women
complaining that there aren't enough good men. I don't hear
that many men complain that there aren't enough good women.
Speaker 1 (06:14):
Has that been a trend for a long time.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
I think that the sexes are different now because a
lot of guys are afraid of approaching girls. This is
like the Bill Ackman thing that we talked about last week.
May I speak to you or may I meet you?
I think, was what he said. I think because people
live on their phone so much I think a lot
of guys out there, and I got three boys, so
(06:38):
I certainly understand this world. I think a lot of
guys get on their phone and they send like sixty
dms to girls on Instagram and just wait to see
who's gonna bite.
Speaker 1 (06:50):
And I think that girls are used to being chased.
Speaker 2 (06:53):
And I think men have never had it easier than
right now. In fact, and I write about this in
the book. If you went back in time to nineteen
sixty two and you told a single guy in nineteen
sixty two, right, some of you out there listening were,
(07:14):
in fact single in.
Speaker 1 (07:15):
Nineteen sixty two. If you said, hey.
Speaker 2 (07:18):
In the future in twenty twenty five, guys are going
to be able to have sex with almost no commitment.
You're not even going to have to take girls out
to dinner. You're going to be able to just get
on your phone, which now is mobile, and you're going
to be able to send a message to sixty different girls.
(07:40):
You up, where are you at now, not even using
basic grammatical correctness, And you are going to be able
to have abundant women respond to that, And you are
going to be able to have completely no strings attached sex.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
With many of them. Would that be a world that.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
Single men in nineteen sixty two had wanted or a
world in nineteen sixty two that single women had wanted.
My point here, I think a lot of women, through
the guys of female empowerment, have actually ended up signing
up for what every single man in the nineteen sixties
(08:24):
would have dreamed of. Unlimited buffet of sex, limited commitment,
almost no restrictions for male sexual appetite at all.
Speaker 1 (08:38):
Is that really women's empowerment?
Speaker 2 (08:40):
If men get everything they ever wanted as single men
and it's being sold to women as go girl, this
is your world now, girl boss era. I don't really
blame men. I mean men are getting it's really funny.
It's really funny, and trying to address it in a
(09:01):
comedic way because I know some of the women out
there are like crying. Some of you have daughters and granddaughters,
and you're like, hello, and they're probably gonna clip this
and they're gonna, you know, they're gonna come after me.
Speaker 1 (09:12):
Do you remember the era of shotgun weddings?
Speaker 2 (09:16):
People are like, oh, you know that guy, he got
hurt pregnant and dad showed up with a shotgun. And
now they're getting married and people are like, boy, you know,
it's good that we moved on from that. You know,
the concept of a shotgun marriage was if you get
a woman pregnant, you have an obligation to help raise
the child, even potentially marrying the woman, and the dad's
(09:40):
gonna show up and he's gonna shoot you if you
don't do it, because you numb nuts. You put yourself
in this position. And we're not just gonna make a
woman raise a baby by herself and let the guy
run off into the world and not have to deal
with the responsibilities or obligations that he's helped to create.
That was like nineteen fifties, nineteen sixties, men had real obligations,
(10:09):
and we've created this world where women have been convinced
that all of their choices actually fulfill every male fantasy
from the nineteen sixties and certainly the nineteen forties and
nineteen thirties. You don't even have to buy a girl
(10:30):
a meal. All you gotta do is send a drunk
Instagram DM and girls are just chasing boys.
Speaker 1 (10:41):
Is it any wonder.
Speaker 2 (10:42):
That people aren't coming together because girls are being sold? Hey,
you should have masculine sex drive, and men are like,
why would I, Why would I? Why would I step
away from the buffet. I've got unlimited options with virtually
no comment. That doesn't seem like an ideal world to women.
(11:05):
Now again, this is going into the biology. It doesn't
add up right women. Sorry, if you need to share
this Glay Travis does Birds and the Bees, you can
clip it and share it with your kids. Women have
a limited number of eggs that they produce in their lifetime.
They should be selective in who they choose to reproduce
(11:27):
with because they have a limited number of children that
they could produce in their life. Men were like a
machine gun just firing off in every direction.
Speaker 1 (11:41):
Men like, go, look at what gay dudes do.
Speaker 2 (11:45):
When I was in college, they had a huge scandal
on campus because one of the bathrooms, gay dudes just
were showing up and banging each other like crazy in there.
Speaker 1 (11:58):
That doesn't happen in women's bathroom.
Speaker 2 (12:02):
There's never been a scandal on a college campus ever
where it's like, Hey, a bunch of chicks are showing
up in a bathroom.
Speaker 1 (12:09):
And just going to town on each other. It doesn't happen.
Speaker 2 (12:12):
By the way, they make movies about that they tend
to do pretty well.
Speaker 1 (12:15):
Because men like the idea. The sexes are very different.
Speaker 2 (12:20):
Men are often stupid, They don't want to commit, They
want to fire off in every direction. You tell a
guy there's an orgy in a bathroom, a bunch of
dudes are showing up.
Speaker 1 (12:33):
Chicks are all right.
Speaker 2 (12:36):
What if you went back in time when Playboy magazine
was first created, when Hugh Hefner was like, Hey, I
got this idea, Marilyn Monroe, take your top off. Men
are going to buy this magazine like crazy.
Speaker 1 (12:47):
He was right. Nineteen fifties, nineteen sixties.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
The sexual revolution that was created actually is just every
male fantasy fulfills and women have signed onto it thinking
that it's the girl boss era. And guess what, a
lot of you are looking around like, hey, this is
not actually that great for us. Men see us as disposable,
(13:14):
they won't commit to us, and as a result, everybody's angry.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
And by the way, it doesn't actually.
Speaker 2 (13:22):
Work that well for most guys, because most guys don't
have a cornucopia of options. The rich guys do, the
tall guys do, the good looking guys do, the quarterbacks do.
But the guys that are further down on the float chart,
they can't find a girl because the girls all want
the exact same guy. I actually disagree with the caller.
(13:44):
I think men have lower standards for women than women
do for men. Does that make sense? I think there's
always a guy who will be attracted to a girl.
I think that most women want the same thing. Not
to say they won't settle. Heck, I've been married for
twenty years. I don't think my wife got the greatest
(14:06):
draw of all time. Let's be honest. But most women,
they're like, I want a guy who's six foot tall.
I want a guy with hair. I want a guy
who makes six figures. Right, most women desire the same thing.
Why do they want that? Stability? Security? That actually makes
sense biologically right? A five foot two hundred and twenty
pound dude, Sorry, who's bald? Sorry if that's you right now,
(14:30):
I'm not trying to take a personal shot at you.
Most women or not, that's the man that I want
to spend the rest of my life with. Most there's
some maybe, hopefully anyway, there is my solution to the world.
Just think about it. I don't hear very many people
pointed out, but what has been sold as female empowerment
is actually every man's sexual fantasy from the nineteen fifties
(14:53):
and nineteen sixties in real life today.
Speaker 1 (14:57):
And don't even get me started on these guys can
go to college campuses now for tailgates.
Speaker 2 (15:04):
We look at old guys. Girls are running around what
they're wearing on campus. They can't even believe that this
world exists. It really is a buffet for single men
with no actually restrictions on their behavior at all. And
it's not a surprise to me that a lot of
women are looking around and say, wait a minute, is
this actually a good spot? Why can we not get
(15:25):
a man to commit Because he's got a phone in
his hand and he can text sixty girls simultaneously and
one of them is going to respond. The buffet is
always open, and it's not actually that beneficial for most
young women.
Speaker 1 (15:38):
That's my theory. Maybe I'm wrong, maybe I'm an old guy.
I got no idea.
Speaker 2 (15:41):
I wrote about it some in the book, but in
all seriousness, I do sit around and think about it,
because ultimately, if people are not having kids, if men
and women are not coming together and they're not happy,
then we're in a really tough spot. And that's what
you're seeing is the number of kids in America is plummeting.
And by the way, left wing chicks who are the
(16:02):
most into women's empowerment, none of them are having kids.
It's like the crazy Aft and Bain chicks. She even
looks down on people who get married. You want to
save some money, Pure talks a great way to save
some money. All you have to do is go right
now to your phone pound two five zero say Clay
and Buck.
Speaker 1 (16:20):
Over the course of.
Speaker 2 (16:21):
A year, you could save one thousand dollars. As we
come up on the holiday season, Thursday is Thanksgiving. Four
weeks from Thursday is Christmas. How many of you are
looking at those bank accounts the same boy, It's gonna
be expensive. We're gonna have to go into debt for presents.
We're gonna have to go into debt for travel. How
many of you would like to have an extra thousand
(16:42):
dollars right now in your bank accounts? You can take
advantage right now of Pure Talk. Get prepared for the
new year. Twenty twenty six pound two five zero say
Clay and Buck, brand.
Speaker 1 (16:55):
New Puretalk phone.

seventeen year old and my fifteen years old. You can

family before the end of the year. You'll be glad
you did it. Come the end of twenty twenty six.
That's Pound two five zero, say Clay and Buck.
Speaker 7 (17:19):
Clay, Travis and Buck Sexton Mike drops that never sounded
so good. Find them on the free iHeartRadio app or
wherever you get your podcasts.
Speaker 1 (17:36):
Welcome back in play Travis Bucks section show. I already
know what the headliness are gonna be. Clay Travis says
shotgun wedding should come back.
Speaker 2 (17:43):
I'm just saying there was a time when men had
responsibility when kids are gonna be born. And honestly, the
group that has been the most impacted by this, nobody
really talks about it.
Speaker 1 (17:57):
But obviously I am Civil Rights era. Pre Civil Rights era.
Speaker 2 (18:02):
Black kids overwhelmingly grew up in households with mom and
dad both present. Post Civil Rights era black kids grow up,
oftentimes huge majorities without dad's present.
Speaker 1 (18:15):
Why did that happen?
Speaker 2 (18:16):
Why did the pre racist America do a better job
of preserving the black family.
Speaker 1 (18:21):
I think partly it's culture.
Speaker 2 (18:22):
I think it's one of the biggest questions that should
be asked in America today. Look, Rapid radios, you're gonna
be on the road. A lot of you, ninety percent
of you who are traveling, gonna be on the road.
Maybe you're gonna be in multiple cars. Maybe you got
different people in different cars.
Speaker 1 (18:34):
Remember back in the.
Speaker 2 (18:34):
Day, used to have those Gijo radios you could talk
back and forth from one car to another.
Speaker 1 (18:39):
Rapid radios can do that.

of truth.
Speaker 2 (19:12):
Welcome back in Clay Travis buck Sexton Show. Appreciate all
of you hanging out with us. Two days before Thanksgiving.
We are rolling through the program, a lot of you
weighing in with a variety of different topics out there,
and we'll get some of your calls to close up
shop right now. So tell me in my ear who
(19:33):
the actual guest is. Congressman Chip Roy is with us
right now. Big game coming up in Texas, the fighting
Texas A and m Aggie's going on the road against
your Texas Longhorns. I believe you are a split family.
Who are the kids rooting for? And I'm sure it's
(19:54):
going to be an interesting Thanksgiving given the return of
a huge rivalry with the greatest season in modern Texas
A and M history on the line here.
Speaker 5 (20:05):
Yeah, no question, great to be on Clay. It's certainly
great to have the rivalry game back. It was a
long time not having it for the state of Texas.
You rightly point out my wife is an Aggie. Look,
my kids are very are very much in the A
and M direction. So we'll be at the game in Austin,
(20:25):
We'll be there at ut and you know, look, I
think this is going to boil down to who wants
it more. I mean, these games turn into sort of
fifty to fifty games no matter what, and in this case,
You've got an undefeated A and M who if they win,
they know they're in the SEC championship game. They know
they're in the driver's seat heading into the playoffs. You
(20:46):
got a UT that doesn't want to lose at home,
has had a really good record at home now for
a while. I think we've had like one loss in
the last three seasons or whatever at home. And you know,
you've got a situation as to whether the offensive line
and Texas is going to do what they need to
do to give Arch time and then see what who
(21:07):
wants it more? I think that's what it boils down to.
Speaker 2 (21:10):
You're running for attorney General in Texas. We'll get into
that in a sec. Because you guys have an early
primary in March. Do you have an official take on
I'm going to be on an airplane later. Ninety percent
of people are driving, ten percent flying. This is the
busiest travel day of the year. You travel a lot
because you've had to go back and forth between DC
and Texas a ton over the past several years. What
(21:32):
is your perspective on reclining seats.
Speaker 5 (21:38):
I mean, man, talk about the important questions. Look, I
gotta tell you when I'm sitting there in a smashed
sub seat and somebody reclines in front of me. Yeah,
it definitely elevates the blood pressure.
Speaker 1 (21:48):
But you get my vote, you know, Look, you get
my vote.
Speaker 2 (21:50):
That's the right answer. That's the right answer here. I
can't vote in the Texas Attorney general race. I'm not
a Democrat. If I were, I probably find a way
to vote. But if I were in Texas, you would
have just gotten my vote. With your take on reclining seats.
How is the campaign going and what is the overall
vibe you would say that you see as you go
(22:11):
around campaigning all over Texas.
Speaker 5 (22:14):
Look, right now, what we've got are people in Texas
who are just deeply thankful the President Trump has done
the main thing that he campaigned on, which was securing
the border of the United States. I cannot tell you
how important that is the people of Texas and what
that's meant for sanity and what we're dealing with in
South Texas and ranches and fentanyl pouring in and the
(22:36):
danger at posted to our communities and everybody's feeling that nationwide.
Of course, everybody's talking about affordability, and that is a
major issue, and we're talking about it, We're campaigning on it,
and obviously I'm going out in Texas and I'm talking
about the Suria law and the extent to which there's
the Islamification of Texas and the borders and the crime
on the streets. But affordability is a major issue. Is
(22:57):
I'm still a member of Congress, and the President's doing
a lot of great work there. I had a long
meeting with the Secretary of the Treasury, Scott Bessett, last Friday.
We talked about a number of issues, one of which
was affordability, and everybody gets we need to deal with
healthcare issues, housing costs, and getting grocery prices down. But
part of it's a little bit of patience. Now, you know, Clay,
you and I are getting old, so we're old enough
(23:19):
to remember the Reagan era, and you know, he came
in nineteen eighty one and it took a little while
to unwind the damage of the Carter hears. Yeah, and
we're nine ten months in, right, and the President we
passed the big beautiful bill. We've cut taxes, we're deregulating
or we're strengthening our military, we're getting sanity back. We
got a little patience. We got to head into the
mid you know, midterms, and make sure we deliver for
(23:41):
the country for people who are concerned about and I
am too, like I don't like going and seeing six
dollars seven dollars ground beef. You know, like things are
expensive and everybody knows it. But we're unwinding that the
overall inflation numbers trending in the right direction. We've got
to do our part to grow the economy, cut spending,
get healthcare in the right place. And we're taking the
(24:02):
right steps, but we got to make sure that we
get out and explain to the American people that were
delivering for them on the things they care about.
Speaker 2 (24:08):
You know, that's an important point because I started off
the show talking about it, economy, border crime. Trump delivered
on the border. He's delivered on crime in a substantial way.
You talked about the impact of the border in Texas,
but on the economy, I talked specifically about this Jimmy Carter.
It took a while for people to get over the
awful inflation of the Carter era, and in fact, if
(24:31):
people out there, I've studied it, we were young, but
if you look, it took it till about nineteen eighty
four when Reagan came out and squashed forty nine out
of fifty states, every state of Minnesota. Everybody said, you
know what, things are getting fixed. It might not be
the case unfortunately that everybody can see how much work
(24:53):
Trump has done by next year.
Speaker 1 (24:55):
And you know this, Congressman. One of the challenges is telling.
Speaker 2 (24:59):
People something that they haven't seen yet can make you
seem like you're out of touch, right me, you everybody
out there who says, hey, trust me, inflation's coming down.
Speaker 1 (25:09):
But I talked about this the other day.
Speaker 2 (25:11):
When I go to subway and it cost me nearly
thirty bucks for me and my son to go have
a subway meal, or it cost me fifty bucks to
go to Chick fil A. Things just cost more in
when I see the reality, than it seems like they
should cost in my head.
Speaker 5 (25:27):
Yeah, Clay, you nailed it. And this is one of
the things that I'm dealing with when I talk to
the people across Texas. Right here. You said it like
crime and border I think people get that we've delivered
on and I just want to remind people how important
that is. You can't just unring the bell once you've
created the damage. It takes a little bit of time
to go fix all of that. And when it comes
to the affordability issue, like remember that some of this
(25:51):
is working through a trajectory. Shift the trajectory to Donald
Trump and that the current Republican Congress is putting the
country on is a trajectory of success for our kids
and our grandkids. We're talking about unwinding the extent to
which we're dependent on China for manufacturing, reclaiming manufacturing in
(26:12):
the United States, securing the border, kicking people out who
shouldn't be here, making our streets safe again. Like Charlie
Kirk when he talked about what he wanted, he wanted
his daughter to be able to walk down the streets safe.
He wanted more people to know Jesus. He wanted to
have a community that you could know the people next
to you. We're trying to rebuild that America and do
(26:33):
so while we're growing an AI but doing it smart.
Figure out how we can do the things that we
want to so that we have the America for our
kids and our grandkids where we're safe, secure, where we
have a military. By the way, military, let's take that alone.
Recruiting is up and listenans is up. The academies are
competitive again because people believe it's a place where you
(26:54):
want to send your son or your daughter to be
able to train it up, but also to serve our country.
These are all things we should be applauding running on
and yes, acknowledging openly and honestly with the people of
the United States that we have much more work to
do to make it affordable. I admit it. I have
to go buy those same groceries. It's brutal, and we
(27:15):
my wife and I have to work through a budget.
And guess what, I feel it too, So we've got
to keep working through it. But the country's trend, our
trajectory is in a to a direction of safety, security, sovereignty, strength, confidence,
and something you're proud of. And that's what we need
to run.
Speaker 2 (27:33):
On breaking news. I'll get your reaction to this on
the way out. President Trump has just posted over the
past week, my team has made tremendous progress with respect
to ending the war between Russia and Ukraine. I'm summarizing
the post that literally, he just posted in the last
couple of minutes. I am now he said in the
hopes of finalizing this piece plan. I've directed my Special ENVOYE.
(27:56):
Steve Wikoff to meet with President Putin in Moscow. But
at the same time Secretary of the Army Dan Driscoll
will be meeting with the Ukrainians. I'll be briefed on
all progress made along with Jade Vance, Marco Rubio, Pete
Hegseth and Susie Wiles look forward to hopefully meeting with
President Zelenski and President Putin soon. This is President Trump's
(28:18):
post he just put up, but only when the deal
to end the war is final or in its final stages.
He hopes again peace can be accomplished as soon as possible.
Speaker 1 (28:28):
I know there's a lot of things going on.
Speaker 2 (28:29):
Are you optimistic to President Trump can deliver on trying
to get a peace agreement in Ukraine? Again, this is
just coming down in the last two minutes.
Speaker 5 (28:39):
If anybody can, the President can. And what I mean
by that is he has been committed and resolved to
peace since he has been a candidate and since he's
been in office, first term and second term. That's been
his driving force. Marco Rubio, same thing. I know this
because I talked to Marco about this. Before he was
the Secretary of State. These are people who want do
(29:00):
you end up in a place where we no longer
have endless wars but we have peace? So do I
know that this is going to work out? No, I
haven't seen the details of it yet. But I go
back to my point about trajectory and who do you
want running the country. Do you want someone who wants
to continue war because you're trying to pursue some fanciful
notion of what you think is right for the people
(29:22):
of Ukraine, Or do you want to find a way
to get this to peace and make sure that we're
protecting the boundaries and protecting Eastern Europe while making sure
that we are not engaging in endless conflict. I think
that's where the President is. I think that's where the
American people are, and I think it's critically important that
people realize we need to make decisions on geopolitical questions.
(29:45):
We need to make those decisions based on what is
good for our country and national security, not on what's
good for the pocketbooks of people trading stocks, including members
of Congress that are day trading while we're trying to
figure out whether or not we should start another war.
Now two day American people are I know this because
I represent them.
Speaker 2 (30:04):
Two days until Thanksgiving. I'll let you go out on
this question. What is your number one draft pick of
Thanksgiving dinner? If you could only go one time and
you had only one thing to put on your plate,
it would be what.
Speaker 5 (30:17):
Man, that's a great question, and I'm going to surprise you.
But I'm a textan and I'm proud of it. My
wife literally makes the best of it anywhere in the world.
It's fried okra.
Speaker 1 (30:26):
Oh wow. Interesting. You know my fifteen year old one
of his favorite things in the world.
Speaker 2 (30:31):
I mean, he will almost get a full plate, like
if you get multiple if you can get a side
at a dinner, he'll say, just give me double fried okra.
So it's off the board a little bit. But I
think you got a solid pick there.
Speaker 5 (30:44):
Yeah, Look you gotta get Look. I love the traditionals.
I mean, I'm a cranberry out of the can guy.
I'm a dress stuffing like my mom makes a traditional
cornbread dressing.
Speaker 1 (30:54):

Speaker 5 (30:54):
I'm a fried the turkey guy. We're getting I got
the fryer off prepared. We're going to be frying the
Turkey on Thursday morning. Look, I mean, I love you,
gotta have the right gravy, but if you're asking me
to pick, I gotta have.

(33:23):
rolling in. I need to pull up and and see
all of the different suggestions. We're having fun with it.
It actually is really ridiculous. But Trump has gotten rush
hour for greenlit, and there are tons of you out
there weighing in with the next movie that you would
like the president to greenlight.
Speaker 1 (33:43):
But we have a suggestion. I think this is Gigi.
Speaker 2 (33:47):
Why can Cindy's unhappy from Virginia.
Speaker 1 (33:51):
What's the issue with men? She has a perspective.
Speaker 4 (33:54):
Listen, Cindy from Virginia, Clay. All the men today are gay, Okay,
that's why we can't find a good man. It's like
picking through a haystack looking for that little needle, and
I'm telling you they're just not there. I can see
where the girls go the other way.
Speaker 2 (34:18):
You guys are great. That is Cindy. Big issue is
that there's all the guys are gay. I understand why
the women can't find him. Mike and Raleigh, North Carolina,
we're often number one in Raleigh. We appreciate all you
listening in North Carolina. One oh six point one FM
says he's got a take on my rant to start
off hour three about how women are upset because they've
(34:40):
created a world that actually is just every man's fantasy fulfilled.
Speaker 8 (34:43):
Listen, hey, Glay, Mike here in North Carolina. I'm six
foot six inches.
Speaker 1 (34:48):
Tall, not really built for airplane travel, you know not
why I'm just tall, And I mean.
Speaker 8 (34:56):
Even when the seats not reclined, my knees are in
the back of the seat in front of me. So
when people decided to recline their chair, you know, shortly
after watching me walk right past them, it's just so inconsiderate.
Speaker 1 (35:11):
Amen.
Speaker 2 (35:12):
Look, I've got a ton of emails rolling in. Maybe
we'll hit some of these tomorrow. I'm sure we're gonna
get a ton of talkbacks too. But I was a
VIP email from Fred Clay. I think you were reading
my biography. I graduated high school nineteen sixty one, joined
the Navy, got my girlfriend pregnant, had a shotgun wedding
sixty third anniversary in January.
Speaker 1 (35:32):
Also was a Playboy subscriber. He says back in the day.
Speaker 2 (35:35):
Got a good laugh about your talk, and a ton
of people out there are weighing in. Joe says Clay,
You're so right about the situation with women and men.
I came of age in the sixties and seventies, was
sold out on Women's Live. Love the opportunity, but not
the part about hating men. Women have created this nightmare.
We need guys to be strong fathers to kids. Guys
(35:58):
don't want to be bossed around, just loved and respected.
Women set the standard for what guys get away with sexually.
Speaker 1 (36:05):
Not cool to have three.
Speaker 2 (36:06):
Baby daddies were self respect and acting with class. Your
biggest fan from East Tennessee go falls tons of these
rolling in. Appreciate all of you. My cousin Vinnie. By
the way, most common movie that you guys would like
Trump to get a sequel made, that's actually really a
fun one. Love all of you will be back, be
(36:29):
safe on your travels, and we will Buck and I
talk with you tomorrow on Thanksgiving Eve.
Speaker 1 (36:35):
Thanks for haging what
