So I've been putting on more makeup than I ever have in my life because we've been doing videos and live shows and so I am really, really careful about what I put on my skin because I break out easily. So I love that. Crunchy is so clean and so nourishing. I'm actually wearing makeup that's good for my skin and makes my skin look better instead of hiding all the imperfections, which is usually what I use makeup for, honestly.

Welcome in Clay Travis Buck Sexton show. Oh, man, it's a Friday. Rejoice. But I'm looking up at all the the news, Buck. The airlines are just in an uproar. It is the lead story right now on Fox. I got an email. I was just joking with people off the air. I got an email from the airline. I'm supposed to fly in a little bit. And they were just like, hey, basically in the email, we're not really sure the plane's going to go take off. You might want to consider other airlines and just have backup plans in place. It's. I don't know that I've ever gotten emails like this. I mean, it's one thing to have delays. It's another thing for your airline to be like, hey, yeah, so we may or may not be able to take off today. Um, you might want to have multiple airline flights air, different airlines booked. Oh, boy. So I imagine that a lot of you out there are dealing with this with friends and family as well. So that chaos is underway. Um, let's give me a couple of positives here, Buck. I know that WOR listeners in New York City have been unhappy with me because I told you all that we were going to see an absolute destruction of Curtis Lewa and that occurred and that Mom Donnie was going to win unless he was going head to head with only one person, even if it was the awful Andrew Cuomo. But those of you who have been listening for a while will remember that I said there was a shining better day to come for New Yorkers even if Mom Donnie won. And I said, because I really do think it will open the door to winning a more significant office, which is the governorship and the governorship of New York with the awful Kathy Hochul in office, who basically decapitated Andrew Cuomo over this sexual harassment scandal that wasn't actually, in the grand scheme of things, that bad. I mean, what Cuomo did during COVID was infinitely worse than any of the allegations against him relating to sexual harassment. So now we have the awful Kathy Hochul as governor, maybe the worst governor in America, which is obviously J.B. pritzker, Gretchen Whitmer, Gavin Newsom, there's a lot of people I think we could toss out there and say are in that mix. But this morning on FOX and Friends, I don't think it's coincidental on her timing. Elise Stefanik, former New York congressman, she would have been the ambassador to the UN but she decided to go back to Congress to help because the majority was not very substantial there. She has announced that she is running for governor to make New York affordable and safe. She did that this morning. Buck, this was a positive. Let's listen. Cut one.
Washable Sofas Advertiser
I'm running for governor to make New York affordable and safe. We have seen decades of single party.
Clay Travis
Rule led by Democrats and Kathy Hochul.
Washable Sofas Advertiser
Is the worst governor in America.
Clay Travis
New York is the most unaffordable state.
Washable Sofas Advertiser
In the nation with the highest taxes.
Clay Travis
The highest energy bills, the highest utility bills.
Washable Sofas Advertiser
We also have a crime crisis because.
Clay Travis
Kathy Hochul has brought us failed bail.
Washable Sofas Advertiser
Reform and has embraced the defund the police Democrats.
Clay Travis
And after this, Ainsley, when we saw.
Washable Sofas Advertiser
A raging anti Semite, pro Hamas communist who wants to raise taxes and frankly.
Clay Travis
He barely won the majority of New York City voters.
Washable Sofas Advertiser
Kathy Hochul endorsed him and bent the knee. She has failed New Yorkers.
Clay Travis
I think that's right. And so if you are a frustrated New York voter right now, if you are a New York City area resident and you are thinking to yourself, oh my goodness, this is awful. Next year the state gets the opportunity to punch back and react to what happened in New York City. And I do think that Elise Stefanik would be an incredible choice for New York. She is infinitely better than Kathy Hochul. She's going to be fighting an uphill battle. But oftentimes election cycles swing from one direction to another. And electing a communist in New York City, maybe you want to elect then a decently reasonable, rational person to be governor. So I wanted to start with that buck because I wanted to start with at least some positivity after a tough week. So there you go. The positivity is. I do think this helps Elise Stefanik a great deal that Mom Donnie won.
Buck Sexton
It would be so nice for the Empire State to return to a place of sanity. You're never going to get Texas or Florida policies in New York, although wouldn't that be nice? But you will be able to, I think, have a very close contest in the next governor's race because one, Hochul is terrible and two, Stefanik is a pretty talented and solid choice.
Clay Travis
That's right.
Buck Sexton
To run on the Republican side. So that, that is good. And also to your point about how this has been a tough week. We lost races we were supposed to lose.
Clay Travis
Yep.
Buck Sexton
There was no big shock or surprise at all. And that's just the way it's gonna go sometimes. So we dust ourselves off, we move forward. Remember, Trump is still in charge. He's still doing great things. And one of them is just pointing out, this is cut three clay. That Nancy Pelosi's retirement is perhaps the greatest act of patriotism she has ever. She has ever made play three retirement. I think she's an able woman. I'm glad she's retiring. I think she did the country a great service by retiring. I think she was a, a tremendous liability for the country. I thought she was an evil woman who did a poor job, who cost the country a lot in damages and in reputation. I thought she was terrible. Thank you very much. I like that he's just letting it rip. Look, she's retiring. She's not. He's not at a, at a, at a situation here where he has to say nice things and he's not going to say nice things because those would be untrue. I think Nancy Pelosi has been deeply destructive to the country, and I think it'll be a better place without her wielding the iron fist of Pelosi over the Democrats in the House. So let's see who the Democrats really are without Pelosi running cover and keeping them from being completely insane in public before elections.
Clay Travis
I do think it has to really gall Nancy Pelosi that she had to step down as Trump is at his most ascendant power. That's kind of a, you know, chef's kiss. If I were Trump advisor there, I would say, you know what, I love that Nancy Pelosi recognized that it's time for her to step down. And I couldn't think it's better for the country that she's leaving the fight right as she recognizes that I've won all the battles I wish Nancy well in retirement. And the biggest loss we're going to have with Nancy is I've been trying to figure out how to be as good of an investor as her. I don't know what we're all going to do without having the Nancy Pelosi stock tracker out there to make us all rich. She's the Warren Buffett of Congress and really kind of gig her, but I think Trump genuinely detests her. So that came across in certainly the answer that he gave in that press conference yesterday. Um, they're also continuing to, to battle, by the way, on the government shutdown and we'll see. Buck, my thought is that when people get frustrated at airports, then it's Democrats, it's Republicans, it's Independents. A lot of people will put up with political shenanigans until it starts directly impacting their day to day existence. And for those of us who travel and those of us who are trying to pick people up at airports and those of us who are just trying to get around the country, this thing, can you imagine, Buck, if this thing extended for another few weeks and we moved into the Thanksgiving travel season, that would be absolutely bonkers. It's the most difficult time of year to be traveling anyway. And then you're going to layer it on top of people not getting paid and all of the chaos. And really the Democrat objectives here have always been very difficult to explain in a succinct fashion. And they're the ones shutting down the government. And I feel like they got their no Kings protest, they got their election wins in New Jersey and Virginia. There's zero doubt that Virginia was aided because there's so many federal employees by the fact that the government shutdown happened. Now let's go ahead and just open the government back up. And in fact, he's the same guy. This is exactly what John Fetterman said, Buck, Play cut seven world kitchens feeding government workers. Where?
Buck Sexton
In my neighborhood in Navy Yard. I mean, it's really impacting these folks.
Clay Travis
It's like, you know, we've all been.
Buck Sexton
Paid, but all these workers haven't been paid. The Capitol police that are protecting here haven't been paid. Our military, why that's not controversial. Pay our military Pay all these folks and I'll make sure everyone's fed. Now, why, why would we put ourselves in that situation at this point? You know, we've had the election, now we can all reopen and I'll find a way forward.
Clay Travis
Now, this is kind of crazy, Buck, when you really break it all down, that maybe the thing that we were most wrong on, on the show in four years, aside from the Red Wave, 2022, I never would have ever believed, having watched the 2022 Senate campaigns, I never would have believed that John Fetterman would end up one of the most rational, reasonable, efficient, and effective senators. When it comes to just analyzing basic things like this, would you have ever bought in? Like, if we went back in time to when he was engaged in the debate, when he was running against Dr. Oz? I never would have ever believed that this could be a situation where Fetterman were louding and saying, hey, this guy is actually one of the best truth tellers on Capitol Hill. But, I mean, everything he just said was eminently reasonable, not particularly partisan and rational. And I can't believe I'm saying this, but we need five or six more John Fettermans in order to get the country back up and running, get the government open.
Buck Sexton
What are the Democrats really achieving with all of this?
Clay Travis
Well, that's the question.
Buck Sexton
That's the thing that we're gonna have to look back on when this eventually ends. What have they gotten? I do not think Republicans can give them what they want, because then you've set a precedent, I might add. The minority party can say, I just want billions of dollars that have nothing to do with the actual funding of the government, or else I'm going to take my ball and go home, or else I'm, I'm going to stop things from happening in D.C. you can't, you can't negotiate with terrorists, my friends. This is congressional terrorism, so to speak. This is not playing by the pre established rules. So eventually you're going to have to just see who's got the grit, who stays together as a, as a caucus. And I'm, I'm hopeful Republicans stay with it.
Clay Travis
I do think the one thing Trump keeps saying, hey, we need the filibuster. You know, they've moderated the filibuster on ending the filibuster. They've moderated the filibuster on a great number of different aspects. To me, there is a decent argument to be made, and I think our friend Senator Ron Johnson from Wisconsin has made this argument publicly for some time. And in fact, if he's listening, he's welcome to call in and make it better than I'm about to make it. But can we just do away with the ability to shut down the government and require there be 60 votes to reopen it? That doesn't seem like the filibuster for many things. Makes sense. Should we have a filibuster? When it comes to whether you can add Supreme Court justices or add senators from New Jersey, senators from.
Buck Sexton
You can't have a minority of the Senate say, sorry, no government business till I get what I want. That's crazy.
Clay Travis
That would seem like a solution. And look, Republicans may be frustrated by that somewhere down the line, but the majority party should be able to keep the government open. That seems very basic to me. And so, you know, I would love to hear Senator Johnson explain exactly that perspective, but it seems like a reasonable middle ground that doesn't require eliminating the entirety of the filibuster and instead would just allow government to be open so that we can all be able to take airplane flights safely and so that the soldiers can get paid. And so we make sure that a lot of people out there who are doing government jobs like air traffic controllers aren't getting paychecks showing that they earned $0 despite the fact that they've been working crazy hours. Look, the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews does great work both in Israel and here in the United States. They bring the Christian and Jewish communities together to help one another. The outpouring of support by Christian communities wanting to help Jewish populations super strong. Whether it's helping Israeli residents impacted by two years of missile attacks or caring for neighbors here at home in the U.S. the IFCJ has been there for all of that. And at a time like now, particularly with the rise in anti Semitism, the work of the IFCJ is more important than ever. We just saw what happened in an upscale neighborhood in New Jersey this week with the arrest of two teenagers plotting to kill Jews. Unfortunately, swastikas on Jewish related buildings in New York City. The night after Mamdani is elected as the mayor. When Jewish communities are threatened, Christians surround them with support. The International Fellowship of Christians and Jews is at the center of that support. The IFCJ is helping survivors of hate rebuild their lives. And they don't just respond to crisis, they work every day to prevent it. Your gift of $45 will help support their life saving work by helping to provide food, shelter and much more.

Welcome back into clay and buck. You know, it's a very exciting day. It was in fact true that I was challenged and doubted by many in the tennis serve 100 mile per hour sweepstakes. Doubters and haters abound out there in the world but overcame the challenge. Can you please play my theme music? 103 miles an hour. 103 miles an hour, my friends.
Clay Travis
Trusty racket right here.
Buck Sexton
It's a beautiful day on the court. Some people are saying the most beautiful day. There's video, there's a speed gun. 103 mile an hour serve right up the T, I might add definitely would.
Clay Travis
Have been an ace.
Buck Sexton
Beautiful, lovely. The most beautiful serve.
Clay Travis
And I'm in the 100 mile an.
Buck Sexton
Hour plus club officially at 103. Top, top number. And Clay, I just want to say I appreciate the encouragement via Doubt. So there we go. We've got, we've got the challenge accepted and challenge met. We'll put the video up@clayandbuck.com it is posted on X. It is posted under my account on X or on Facebook if you want to check it out. And we also had some fun with the meme. We have my, my team, my hype squad, if you will, makes an appearance in the video. So I think you'll enjoy that one.
Clay Travis
I have to, I have to give credit to your wife, Carrie. The cinematography of this, of the serve is pretty spectacular because we see the serve, we see the 103. We then see that she is on the court with your son in the, in the, in the what? The baby carriage, I guess, which he has no idea what he just was witness to. But in the years ahead, as that video continues to circulate, he's going to have even more respect for his dad's natural raw athleticism powering 103 mile an hour serve.
Buck Sexton
I got, I got to tell you, I just feel like I struck a blow for all the middle aged guys with elastic waistbands and New Balance sneakers out there. You know, people doubt us, guys. People think we can't relive our glory days. We were 18, 20, 25. No, my friends, no, we can still do it. We can still climb that hill. Climb that mountain. So very, very exciting stuff there. And by the way, that's definitely a wife's job to show up with you on the tennis court where I'm not going to pretend like that was my first serve, my friend. You could see the joy in my face. I was stuck. 90, 94, 92, 87. I mean, over and over and over again.
Clay Travis
How long did that take? You also changed up the outfit because you were getting criticized for the all white. So I noticed you went with the blue. The blue, yeah.
Buck Sexton
People were harsh. You know, they're like, yeah, tennis, all white. I mean, that wasn't even. Sometimes I wear white, sometimes I don't. I mean, it's just basically like whatever tennis outfit I have ready. But I'm just saying, guys, you know, don't doubt the Buckster. 103 miles an hour victory.
Clay Travis
It tastes so sweet. I haven't heard yet from Laura Travis who was foremost among the doubters. So I want to hear what she has to say. All right, look, producer Allie has me with the rapid radio walkie talkie here in studio. I'm hoping this thing doesn't go off. But if you grew up in the 70s or 80s, there was likely a year when you got a pair of walkie talkies at Christmas. I know I did back in the day. They were a lot of fun. You could run around with them. You could pretend you were a GI Joe soldier like I used to do with some of my friends. Rapid radios makes a modern day version of that. These cool devices keep you connected with your family. We have one of these. They're small, like you can see in my hand. Small. It's not a huge rapid radio. Kids can carry them around. Elderly family members, five day charge. You're gonna love it. Get hooked up right now. Go to rapidradios.com and get your own ship delivered. You can pull them right out of the box and they're ready to go. That's Rapid Radios.com Rapid Radios.com do it today. Welcome back in Clay Travis Buck Sexton show producer Ali is the witness. I think Buck could see it. You might have been able to see it just a bit on video. In addition to Buck being an unbelievable star of the center court, I just signed. You guys are great. Another 500 copies of balls, my majestic work of literary genius that is now available in bookstores everywhere. And if you want an autograph copy, they sold out of all the initial run. They were very, very happy. They said will you please sign 500 more? And I said yes. And I just signed them in the studio. So if you bought autographed copies of the book, Clay Travis balls.com I promise you will not go to prison. If you click on that link or put it in. If you want autographed copies for Christmas, they are done. 500 more of them. They have got them. They are shipping them out. I signed them all here on camera. Producer Allie can attest. She can raise her right hand and swear under oath I did not auto pin it Joe Biden style. I just signed them, completed them here in the studio. They are going out. So 500 more. Clay travis balls.com Once those are gone, they are gone. I sound like a QVC host. But this is what Buck is going to be doing in a couple of, a couple of months. Selling a book is Buck. It's a lot of, a lot of work. I mean the amount of media that I've done in addition to all the stuff that we already do is just buckle up come February because the amount of time that I have spent telling people to go buy this book, it's great and I appreciate it and I love all of you that have bought it. But it is a, it is a lot of work in addition to everything else.
Buck Sexton
I just think that people also are so used to everything short form now that it's really difficult for anyone to not anyone. But it's harder and harder to get people to say, I'm going to spend 12 hours, eight hours. I worry about this a lot with your content. I'm a big believer still, despite all the videos and short form and podcasts and everything. I'm a big believer in book reading. Yes, as a habit, as a thing to do daily, if you can certainly weekly have a book. I do Kindles and hard, you know, physical books. I just think that it should be a part of everyone's life. You should have things that you are reading that are not news, tweets, social media posts, whatever.
Clay Travis
You're just sitting around watching videos mindlessly on Instagram. There is a depth of learning that I think happens. And I don't know if science supports this, but I'm going to make an argument that I think science should support if they haven't done this. There is a depth of knowledge that comes from reading that does not come from watching videos or certainly clicking on tweets. And I was talking about this last night. I was at the Patriot Awards. They were awesome. Erica Kirk got an award. Melania Trump got an award that Fox News puts on out in New York. But I was talking with one of the top Fox News editors and we were talking about how AI is impacting writing going forward and what that's going to look like. And I just think in an AI era, the depth of knowledge, you're going to have a lot of people with surface level ability to analyze things. There's going to be no depth. And I'm concerned about what the future of even written articles. But did you see the story From Axios? Over 50% of articles on the Internet already are AI. Where are the actual original thoughts, what or arguments going to come from in an AI era? I'm legitimately concerned about it. And also if we thought disinformation, misinformation spread quickly before AI. Can you imagine when there are going to be entire AI universes created to spread awful things? Have you seen the stuff about Robby Starbuck? He's been filing a bunch of lawsuits. We probably should get him on at some point to talk about this. But somewhere in the Google world somebody just decided they hated him and they have been seeding these stories in AI that say the most awful things about him. It's all Untrue. But how do you get that lie unraveled once it takes root? I do think this is something that a lot of people are not grappling with and certainly for your kids. My kids, I spend so much time trying to get them to read and I think it's going to become more and more challenging. So I hope that you are going to end up with the ability to read this book and not my book. Lots of other books.
Buck Sexton
But you can also go to clayandbuck.com Two for one my friends, short video of the most beautiful 103 mile an hour serve in tennis any of you will ever see. I would, I would argue you and you can click on Balls right below it and get your copy of balls. So clayandbuck.com one stop shop for all your good things. You can do the short video thing and then the whole book thing by Clay's book Balls.
Clay Travis
Thank you clay travis balls.com autograph copy signed in studio here for all the witnesses to see. No auto pin scandal coming on the books. Clay Travis balls.com All right, our friend Karine Jean Pierre, speaking of book tourists, she did not write her book. She is not smart enough to write her book. I would wager massive amounts of money. Buck, what would if you heard that Karine Jean Pierre wrote her entire book, how stunned beyond belief would you be? Would you, I mean, what odds would you have to get that correct? I would. 0. 1. 0. I don't think she's capable. 0.
Buck Sexton
There's no, it's not even a, it's not a bet I could make because it's just, I know she didn't.
Clay Travis
It's zero. So she's on her book tour for the book that she did not write, demonstrating every day why she is too dumb to have written a book. She says, I don't know if you saw this yet, Buck, that the media isn't tough enough on Trump. They would have been and were way tougher on Obama than Trump. I mean there's a double standard. I mean, listen to this. I can't believe this is real. Cut 28 to your question about where we are with the media. I think there's a Trump standard. You know, there's a Trump standard that there's, he's just covered differently and it is insane. I mean President Obama said it perfectly recently. He said can you imagine if I did that?
Karen & Georgia
Can you imagine?
Clay Travis
And so there is a double standard there. She's right that there's a double standard. All right. So in her credit, the problem is she's misapplying what the double standard is. The media is too kind to Trump. I just. Some of these people, I don't even understand what world you could live in. Even people who hate Trump look at this and say, Trump has been the most attacked by media president in any of our lives. And I don't even. Who would. Nixon, maybe the second closest. I wasn't alive. You weren't alive. Certainly Trump for our lives is. I don't even know who else would even be in the stratosphere. And Nixon obviously was forced out of office, but, I mean, no one else is even close.
Buck Sexton
I think your bringing up Nixon, though, is important because there has been for your life, my life, this belief truly, among the D.C. beltway media that Republican presidents better watch themselves because they took one presidency down and they could do it again if they, if they have to, if they want to. And I truly believe that that was for most of the establishment journos in D.C. and in New York Times, L.A. times across the country at these, these kinds of places, they had this belief that when the time comes or if a Republican steps out of line, I don't mean does something terrible just gets a little too, a little too uppity with the agenda and with the mission that they're pursuing, they could end that presidency. And I think they tried. I think that's what Russia collusion was. Yes, to end a presidency through nefarious, underhanded and dishonest means, and failed. And then I think they tried again with the help of the prosecutions and the various legal, legal maneuvers they did, rooting for this the whole time and saying that Trump was an insurrectionist and all this stuff, and they failed a second time. And now play the myth of invincibility for the media and their, their power to end a presidency is gone.
Clay Travis
I think that's right.
Buck Sexton
Gone.
Clay Travis
I think all that's 100% right. By the way. Loaded lines. People want to, to weigh in already on a lot of what we've been talking about. Caleb, in Ohio. I've heard this argument out there. We asked yesterday, hey, why did 600,000 people who voted Trump in Virginia and New Jersey not show up? Caleb is in Ohio. Obviously, Ohio is not voted again, but Caleb, thanks for the call. What you got for us?
Buck Sexton
Hi. Yeah, well, I mean, there's a lot of stuff that, like campaign promises, stuff that he said in his campaign, like what happened to the Epstein files, What happened to Doge and cutting spending. I think the debt's gone up, what, 2 trillion since he took office.
Clay Travis
And spending is actually. Hold on. Spending is actually down. The we're going to spend. I mean, it's still too high. But we are spending less under Trump than we spent under Biden.
Buck Sexton
Absolutely. But there hasn't been anything meaningful. The debt's still going up. And now we're. What happened to no new wars? We're now threatening Venezuela.
Clay Travis
So you're unhappy with the first year. Hold on. You're unhappy with the first year of Trump?
Buck Sexton
Very unhappy.
Clay Travis
And I mean, did you vote for Trump?
Buck Sexton
And I have voted for him three times.
Clay Travis
Okay, so you voted for Trump three times. Hold on. Let me just ask you a couple of questions. So you think Trump has done a poor job in the first year and you think that's why people in New Jersey and Virginia didn't show up and vote for the Republican candidates?
Buck Sexton
Absolutely. Undoubtedly.
Clay Travis
Okay, so what, what, hold on. What letter grade would you give Trump in the first 10 months?
Buck Sexton
An F. Okay, thanks.
Clay Travis
Bye. Look, I mean, you can call in. I don't believe that Caleb voted for Trump three times. You can call in and say, hey, I think first of all, Buck, I would give Trump an A. And I can't think of a first year that a president has delivered more on exactly what he said he would do than Trump 2.0. I don't understand how you could vote for Trump in 16 and how you could vote for Trump in 20 and how you could vote for Trump In 24 and actually give him an F on the first year. I don't believe that's real.
Buck Sexton
Yeah, I don't believe it's real either. So, you know, we could, we can leave that as. As it is. We have also calling in Neil in Miami, wants to talk filibuster issue. What's going on, Neil? Hey, happy Friday, guys. It's a beautiful day in Miami spring. I just wanted to call in. Yesterday, you guys were talking about the filibuster. If we were to do away with the filibuster, why couldn't we add an amendment to the Constitution stating putting a cap on the Supreme Court, for instance, so when the Democrats come in, they can't pack it?
Clay Travis
Well, amending the Supreme Court is a tremendous.
Buck Sexton
Well, the. Amending the Constitution.
Clay Travis
Yeah, sorry. Amending the Constitution to fix the Supreme Court is a tremendous undertaking that I think would be very difficult to actually make reality. I do think the danger there of the Democrats. Biden tiptoed up to it. My concern is Gavin Newsom might run directly on. I'm going to add four Supreme Court justices. I don't. Court packing has been talked about since Roosevelt, right back in the 30s when he got upset about the fact that that so many of his plans were being torn asunder by the Supreme Court. So court packing has been talked about for nearly a hundred years and not happened. But I think Democrats are crazy enough that they could do it. And I think they're upset because we have a 6:3 conservative majority that could last for a very, very long time into the future. So all of that, I think is a valid question. Again, to me, the solution on the filibuster is not to do away with it because I would be concerned about what might happen going forward because eventually Democrats are going to be in control again. To me, the solution would be you can't shut down the government and require there be 60 Senate votes to reopen it. I don't think that's a good move, whether you're a Democrat or a Republican. And I think there's a lot of people out there who would agree with that from a. It's a middle ground between doing away with it completely and not. All right, Buck, get your pen. And a lot of people were reacting, obviously, when you said that you are a big fan of George Pickles, I couldn't stop laughing because a bunch of people reached in and they said, boy, if Buck was going to mispronounce a name, he definitely doesn't need to mispronounce this one. Michael Penix. Penix P, E, N, I, X. Buck, that's an X on the end. You don't want to say you're a fan of Michael Penis. That's a very different person. Michael Pennix, more than one half passing, touchdown. Trevor Lawrence, more than one half passing, touchdown. Price Young. More than one half passing. Touchdown Tua. More than one half passing, touchdown. Jackson Dart and Marcus Mariota. All right, that is six different quarterbacks. We are saying that they are going to all have one touchdown pass or more. They need to be a touchdown pass. Six different quarterbacks, super easy. All you have to do to play along with us is go to prizepix.com use my name Clay as the code. That is prizepix.com Code Clay.

It's a great day for America for a lot of reasons. One of them is the success, you could say the resurrection, in a sense of Buck island has occurred.

Clay Travis

I love Carol's voice. She should be. Carol Markowitz should be the voice of one of these like Waze apps or, you know, that just to make you feel calmer because you're rushed and stressed and everything else. And she just sounds very calming, you know, when she's talking.
Buck Sexton
Totally agree. You know, we also got. I got some tips. This is true. True story online from John Isner, formerly of the pro tour and the fastest tennis server of all time. One of the greatest tennis servers of all time. This is true. And the fastest ever. I think it was like 150ish miles an hour.
Clay Travis
Did he also play in the longest match in Wimbledon history?
Buck Sexton
That sounds right. He sent in a little congratulations. John Isner himself, fastest server ever with the Talkback play. Hh.
Clay Travis
All right, Buck. As arguably the greatest server of all time and the record holder for the fastest serve of all time, I gotta.
Buck Sexton
Hand it to you.
Clay Travis
That was a nice serve, a nice delivery. Everything about it was quite honestly perfect. Wow, that's, that's like maybe the greatest praise that anybody's gotten for anything on the show in four plus years.
Buck Sexton
I'm just telling you, the greatest server of all time, John, is. That's real. Everybody, he's just saying, Great serve, Mr. Buckster. So, you know, everybody, you just gotta. It's just, it's all in the. It's all in the whip, you know, you gotta take it out.
Clay Travis
You gotta just, just let it rip there.
Buck Sexton
All right, we'll do some news when.

Episode: Hour 1 - Always Bet on Buck
Date: November 7, 2025
Podcast: The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show
Host: iHeartPodcasts
This episode of The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show opens with humorous takes on personal triumphs and quickly shifts to an in-depth analysis of current political news, specifically the aftermath of recent elections, ongoing government shutdown debates, and the state of media coverage in American politics. The hosts, Clay Travis and Buck Sexton, move between national topics and moments of levity, blending commentary with listener interactions and a celebratory story of Buck’s personal athletic achievement.
Airline Disruptions: Clay opens the segment by describing his frustrations with chaotic airline delays and notes this is a widespread problem, hinting at larger issues with infrastructure and travel reliability in the country.
New York Elections Recap: Clay reflects on his previous predictions about New York City politics, highlighting Mom Donnie’s win and what it means for the future governorship race against incumbent Kathy Hochul.
Elise Stefanik's Gubernatorial Announcement: Stefanik announces her run for New York governor on Fox and Friends, criticizing Hochul for failed leadership, unaffordability, and crime.
“We have seen decades of single party rule led by Democrats and Kathy Hochul. ... We also have a crime crisis because Kathy Hochul has brought us failed bail reform and has embraced the defund the police Democrats.” – Elise Stefanik, as aired by Clay Travis (06:26–07:06)
Political Strategy: Clay argues that Stefanik is “infinitely better than Kathy Hochul” and represents hope for frustrated New Yorkers, emphasizing the cyclical nature of election swings.
Travel Disruptions and Government Shutdown: Clay links airport chaos to the ongoing shutdown, warning that extended impact could anger non-partisan Americans, especially with holidays approaching.
Democrats’ Role and Federal Workforce: Clay suggests Democrats are hampering a shutdown resolution, partly motivated by electoral advantages in federal workforce-rich states like Virginia.
John Fetterman’s Comments: Both hosts express surprise at Senator Fetterman’s rational position, commending him as a “truth-teller”:
“Everything he just said was eminently reasonable, not particularly partisan and rational. And I can’t believe I’m saying this, but we need five or six more John Fettermans in order to get the country back up and running.” – Clay Travis (13:23–14:04)
“There is a depth of knowledge that comes from reading that does not come from watching videos or certainly clicking on tweets.” (28:45)
“As arguably the greatest server of all time and the record holder for the fastest serve of all time, I gotta hand it to you... Everything about it was quite honestly perfect.” – John Isner (46:09–46:37)
This hour masterfully blends high-stakes political talk—covering government shutdowns, New York’s shifting political landscape, and media bias—with lighter personal moments, particularly Buck’s tennis heroics. The hosts’ chemistry and wit shine as they navigate frustrations with current events, the challenges of misinformation, and strategies for future political victories, all while reminding listeners of the enduring value of traditional media and critical thinking.
