Second hour of Clay and Buck kicks off now. Everybody appreciate you being with us. We're having a great Friday already. Definitely want to take a lot of your Talk backs, your VIP emails, your live calls, of course. 888-2800-288-2882.
- [03:40]
Buck Sexton
Now you're gonna cross me up.
- [03:42]
Clay Travis
I. Guys.
- [03:43]
Buck Sexton
What?
- [03:43]
Dr. Mark Siegel
What?
- [03:44]
Clay Travis
I just forgot my own call number.
- [03:45]
Buck Sexton
It's been like 282-2882. Buck.
- [03:49]
Clay Travis
I said it right, right?
- [03:49]
Buck Sexton
I think you just, you. You questioned yourself as you went through it every now and then. That happens to me too.
- [03:55]
Clay Travis
One thing that has happened in the era of smartphones, I. It's actually a point of anxiety for me. I do not know any phone numbers.
- [04:02]
Buck Sexton
Correct.
- [04:03]
Clay Travis
And back in the day when I, when we had old school answering machines, remember, you'd sit there and you were like in college or whatever, or maybe.
- [04:13]
Buck Sexton
You were a young guy in your.
- [04:14]
Clay Travis
20S, you had your voicemail and you're like, hey, I'm not like trying to sound cool. I'm just casual and want you to leave your message at the beep. You know, remember all that stuff. Don't lie to me.
- [04:27]
Buck Sexton
A lot of you did over and.
- [04:28]
Clay Travis
Over, you did multiple takes over and over again of your answering machine voicemail. So that was very, very much a throwback. But yes. So, Clay, let's dive in, shall we? Let's dive into what Trump is saying about the filibuster, about affordability, about all of that good stuff. Oh, and I was just gonna say is back in the day, I used to remember all the phone numbers too.
- [04:56]
Buck Sexton
I still remember friends from high school's phone number.
- [05:00]
Clay Travis
I remember my high school phone number to this day.
- [05:02]
Buck Sexton
Yes. But I can't remember any other numbers. Either, because everything's in the phone and you, you know, pull up somebody's name and have no idea. By the way, loaded lines. A lot of good feedback, too, coming in. A lot of people reacting to our boy who called in from Ohio and gave Trump an F on the first 10 months.
- [05:21]
Clay Travis
Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's, that's, that's going to get the, that's going to get the folks riled up. Speaking of Trump, here he is. Look, he's saying it. He wants the filibuster ended right now, at least to open the government. That I agree with. Look, you're going to say this is a bit of a change. Yeah, but this is a change that we can live with if. I don't think Republicans should be able to, in minority, demand 60 votes to open the government.
- [05:47]
Buck Sexton
Yeah, it's crazy.
- [05:47]
Clay Travis
Democrats should be able to do this in minority either. This is sabotage of the system that the system did not predetermine should exist. Here's Trump play for.
- [05:57]
Dr. Mark Siegel
Well, I think it's time for them to end the filibuster and just put everybody back to work. Vote in voter id, vote in no mail in voting, except for military, faraway military and people that are very sick. No, I'd like to see one day voting. I'd like to see not 65 days of voting from all over the place. No, I'd like to clean up the elections, the border. We've done a great job. We have a great strong border now. I'd like to see new rules on immigration that could be fair and good, you know, but rules that you'll never get, rules that they're never going to get. There's so many things we could put in, including tax cuts that we could.
- [06:37]
Clay Travis
Get and we could do it all ourselves.
- [06:39]
Dr. Mark Siegel
But to do that, you have to.
- [06:41]
Clay Travis
End the filibuster, Clay, if Democrats really aren't, aren't going to blink here. The election's over and there doesn't seem to be much movement from them to reopen the government. And people, you are one of them, are dealing with the realities of what this means. Now, you're supposed to fly today.
- [06:59]
Buck Sexton
Yes.
- [07:00]
Clay Travis
I don't know. I don't know what's going to happen here, my friend. You might have to try to, you know, hit your ride on Air Force One or something.
- [07:07]
Buck Sexton
That would be nice because I bet you could definitely take off. But I'm, I got the email, as I said, early, early today from my travel situation, and they're just like, if it was like somebody telling you hey, we may be able to hang out, we might not be able to hang out. It's really kind of on you. You might want to make plans with somebody else. It's like trying to go on a date with somebody who doesn't really want to go on a date with you. Which, you know, by the way, I've been through that. I will say this audience is amazing. People are so kind out there. We got an email from a Southwest pilot. I heard Clay may have trouble getting out of New York. I have a standby ticket he can use. This is a Southwest pilot and he reached out. I've got a flight on Southwest. So I am going to right now be going an hour early on the show so that I can get out. Maybe I will call and report from the airport to be able to get back home and not get left in New York City. It's like escape from New York City here time. I'm going to get back to Nashville. But I have been on a ton of Southwest Airlines flights in my life because they go in and out of Nashville. It's my favorite airline. People pick on me about it sometimes, but I'm on Southwest all the time. So many of their flight attendants and now pilots I have met that are fans of this show, that are fans of Outkick. I love that airline. I'm just going to be honest with you. I love the people that work on Southwest Airlines as a group. Just a fantastic collection of people. And the fact that one of our listeners out there is a Southwest pilot and he just reached out and said, hey, I can help get you on standby on a flight. I mean, you guys are fantastic. Now we got a lot of people who want to weigh in on a variety of different topics. It's Friday. Let's hit some of these loaded phone lines. See Dan Bend, Oregon. Dan, you're a three time Trump voter. We had Jacob call in and gave him an F. Do you also give him an F?
- [09:07]
Dr. Mark Siegel
No, sir, I. Good morning. I would give him a C minus, though, just because first off, we know Trump's not a one man show.
- [09:15]
Buck Sexton
Right.
- [09:15]
Dr. Mark Siegel
He has an administration of people he relies upon. So I think from my perspective, some of the decisions he's making.
- [09:23]
Buck Sexton
Okay, so let me, let me pause you here for a sec. C minus. Okay. I don't agree with that rating, but that is, you know, that's not an F. Right. I don't think anybody who voted three times for Trump would give him an F, honestly, in the first 10 months. What? Why would you give him A C minus buck. I'm going to be honest with you, I would give him an A. He's done almost everything that I thought he would do. He's been more effective and more efficient.
- [09:45]
Clay Travis
I mean, I, I don't want to quibble. I might just say A minus because you can always do a little better. But I'm right there with you.
- [09:50]
Buck Sexton
Okay, so he's, I'm curious what, Dan, what has Trump not done that you anticipated he would do in the first 10 months such that you give him a C minus?
- [10:01]
Dr. Mark Siegel
And. Great question. Thank you. It's not necessarily what I anticipated or expected Trump to do. It's what he has done that is brought into my questions. The focus on data centers, the focus on money from the Middle east, the recent discussion about no longer allowing medical debts to be exempted on credit reports, and again, some of the decisions I do believe that Trump has made specifically focus on the way his administration has guided him. The one big, beautiful bill. A lot of great things passed. I thought, I thought they could have been better. But I know he worked hard and he got a lot of good things done. But unfortunately, when I hear him say things like forgiving Google and Apple and how the EU should no longer give them fines and penalties is ridiculous when these guys are also up on charges in America for committing.
- [10:49]
Clay Travis
This is.
- [10:49]
Buck Sexton
Thank you for the call.
- [10:50]
Clay Travis
And I, I was going to ask our, I was going to ask our esteemed caller. I feel like you might, too. Are you maybe being a little unrealistic about what's possible for the president to.
- [10:59]
Buck Sexton
Do also, how perfect he's supposed to be? My thought would be maybe you're involved in tech. These are very specific. Like, very specific. It feels like issues that matter to you specifically, but aren't necessarily at the top of the list for most voters.
- [11:18]
Clay Travis
Yes.
- [11:18]
Dr. Mark Siegel
In other ways, as I, as I make under 50,000 sitting here on the ground and being disabled, I also feel this income pinch and I feel the hardships of what the economy is doing. I work full time. I don't, I don't take any disability payments. But, you know, I do see how it affects other people and other families. I do see how stores and others are taking advantage of it. Doesn't mean it's all Trump, right? It does not. But it does mean that his administration has caused some issues down here. So when we focused on tariffs without focusing on domestic production, that would have boosted the economy, using those tariffs as an advantage versus a weapon, I just think was poorly timed. It's a good plan. We Needed it. But I think there were things to fix. The Biden economics, that screwed us over really bad as a priority.
- [12:03]
Buck Sexton
Okay, thank you for the call. Basically, it sounds like he mostly doesn't agree with the things that Trump has done. We said, and I think this is important to remember that this was an election, and I think Trump ran it as an election that was focused on the economy, border, crime. You hear nothing about the border. I don't know that anybody has ever been more successful in directly addressing what they said they would address on something like the border than we've ever seen in any of our lives. The border is just not an issue. Right. For a huge majority of you, the border was maybe your number one issue. Certainly it was in the top three. So border is solved. He solved it in 10 months. He solved it in six months. Crime, we are right now heading towards potentially a 50 or 60 year low in murders in the country in cities that Trump has actually aggressively addressed. Washington, D.C. my home state city of Memphis, the number of murders is plummeting. I buck. This is not getting attention in Memphis. I had somebody reach out to me. We're going to get on a politician from Memphis to talk about it. He said there's a 70% decline in violent crime right now in Memphis. Again, a lot of people don't pay attention to Memphis. I get it. It's a, you know, one of the top 40 or 50 biggest cities. There's a lot of other cities that are bigger. They get more attention. That's an unbelievable success story that could be extrapolated elsewhere. Economy, stock market is at record highs. Gas prices are down for the last four years compared to where they were. The problem here, I see on economy, people say, oh, you don't see it? I do see it. Prices went up so fast that people are angry. Trump can't make prices go back to where they were in 2019 and 2020. It's never going to happen for the rest of our lives. Biden screwed up so bad that the best thing Trump can do is try to rehabilitate the economy that Biden destroyed. That's the reality. And so I get that people are frustrated. I think the people who are most frustrated with Trump are upset because grocery bills are still high and rent is still high and everything costs more than you think it should. I get it. The problem is nothing ever goes back in price. So you don't get to wave a magic wand and be like, hey, everything costs what it did in 2019. And that's the pernicious, awfulness of inflation and why it is so disastrous to any country.
- [14:35]
Clay Travis
The hope here is that the increases in productivity that will come from AI and I don't think this is pie in the sky. I've seen, you know, when. When you see enough drone factories and things, you know, when I was in Taiwan and when I was at TSMC and talking to them about what. What is already possible technologically, our lives are going to be very different over the next 10 years from what we've been used to in terms of a lot of things that we're not going to have to do, a lot of things that will be very easy to do or be done for us. And that means that there can be attendant quality of life and productivity increases and general wealth.
- [15:18]
Buck Sexton
Right?
- [15:18]
Clay Travis
They're like wealth that all of us, we are all richer than the kings of Europe from the time of Henry viii. All of us, all of you listening right now, it is possible for humanity to actually just be wealthier. I do think that AI is going to be a big part of that. But the other issue we have is that we have a political system where half the country still thinks that the other half the country is going to come up with ways to pay all of the bills that they don't want to pay. And that's not going to change. And that's also, unfortunately not sustainable if they're going to just run the printing presses like crazy. And I know people say, well, Trump spent a lot of money during COVID He did, but the Democrats absolutely demanded that, and no one seems willing to do anything about it now to bring the curve down in the other direction. So this is where we are. We talk about this. It's very frustrating. Whenever the debt becomes an issue, and we want to have that conversation, it goes beyond just, oh, yeah, that's a political issue. People say, well, I paid into this, and they take it very personally. You know, I paid for Medicare, whatever it may be. All right, so then we just keep doing what we're doing. This is where. This is where it ends up. And I think, unfortunately, if you want to talk about prices, when you have more dollars chasing fewer goods, this is like Econ 100 one week, one more dollars out in the system, chasing fewer goods and services. You have inflation, and that's what happened. And now we're dealing with it. But, you know, deflation would be a painful process as well. So if it comes too quickly, you know, I don't know, what do you think? Am I. Am I basically the broad strokes correct.
- [17:00]
Buck Sexton
Here, your broad strokes are completely correct and I get it. I think that the degree of frustration is through the roof over cost of goods and economy. Border crime, border solved crime trending towards record lows thanks to police being supported. I don't think it's getting enough attention. And Trump has attacked in a way that I don't know that we've ever seen before, the violent crime in this country. And he's winning on that level and I think you just have to trust him. I really do believe the economy is gonna be firing on all cylinders. I think it's going pretty well in the stock market right now. Gas prices are down again. I think it's gonna be firing on all cylinders by, by the spring and summer. Problem is prices are not coming back down. And I think it's to the extent that anyone has promised you in any way that prices are going to come back down to 2019 or 2020 levels. The pre Biden era prices is just not physically, it's not going to happen. Think of Mamdani.
- [18:00]
Clay Travis
Mamdani's big winning line for a lot of the young people in New York who voted for him is I'm going to freeze the rent. That makes the problem of affordability worse, everybody. That makes it worse. It may not make it worse that day, but it will make it worse in the long run.
- [18:14]

Hi, it's Karen and Georgia from my favorite murder reading. A skincare label shouldn't feel like decoding a dead language, instead of mystery ingredients, Crunchy gives you skin care and makeup that's safe and effective. Crunchy delivers uncompromised, clean beauty with clinically proven ingredients, sustainable packaging and trusted certifications like EWG Verified and Leaping Bunny. Crunching is creating a future where clean beauty is a genuine promise, not just a marketing term. Because trusting what you put on your skin should be the standard, not the lux. From their award winning foundation to their nourishing skin care line, Crunchy is raising the bar. It's so true.

So I love that. Crunchy is so clean and so nourishing.

Goodbye again, Clay Travis Buck Sexton show. We rolling through the Friday edition of the program. A lot of different feedback talk back reaction coming in. Let me give you a little bit of breaking news. White House source just reached out, told me that President Trump will be at the Washington. I'll still call them Redskins. In my mind, they're now technically the commanders that he will be at the Washington football game against the Detroit Lions this weekend and he will be sitting in the owner's box with the Washington football team owner. It is a Veterans Day celebration on the field at halftime and the President accepted an invite to be there to watch it. So that should be pretty cool. Interesting to see how much attention and coverage that will get, but obviously a game taking place in the D.C. area.
- [23:57]
Clay Travis
I'm just telling you something. Next time we have a bet, forget about this steak stuff, ok? We've done a lot of stake bets. Gotta be video of you doing the Trump dance with all your might, you know, really, really doing it all the way. We have to post the video.
- [24:15]
Buck Sexton
All right?
- [24:15]
Clay Travis
I want to see Clay doing a Trump dance to the best of his ability.
- [24:19]
Buck Sexton
I would like to do the Trump dance with Trump. That would, that would be. That way nobody noticed me. I need, I need like I was with Tommy Lahren who works at Outkick. You know, we were walking the red carpet at the Patriot Awards last night and she said, you want to go together or do you want to go one on one? And I said, together. So, like, nobody's going to notice me. This is one thing that Trump got right a long time ago. He said, if you have an attractive woman in a picture with you, no one notices what you wear or cares anything at all about you. Now, sometimes there is exceptions because some of you are obsessed with with that, but usually that's true.

Birch Gold Group, my friends, that's who to go to for your gold. If you're wondering, well, should I get some gold? Think about it. Gold's up 50% plus this year alone. If a portion of your savings isn't diversified into gold, you're missing out on what could be this continuous upside over many, many years. Look, inflation's an issue. We're talking about the cost of stuff out there. But gold is a hedge against that. And central banks all over the world are buying up gold because of this. I recently bought more gold from Birch Gold Group. I've owned gold for going on 15, 20 years now. Birch Gold will help you convert an existing IRA or 401k into a tax sheltered IRA and gold, you don't pay a dime out of pocket. Just text my name, Buck do 9898 98. Claim your free info kit.

We got a special guest with us, Dr. Mark Siegel. You all know him from Fox News where he's the senior medical analyst. He's the author of the Miracles Among Us, How God's Grace Plays a role in healing. Dr. Siegel, congrats on the book. Thanks for calling in.
- [26:15]
Dr. Mark Siegel
Great to be with you today. You know I'm a friends of your wife, right?
- [26:18]
Clay Travis
Oh yeah. But Carrie's a big fan. So when you have a book coming out, it's not even a question. She's like, she just told me Dr. Siegel's come on and talk about his book. I said, yes ma', am, right away. Tell us about the book.
- [26:29]
Dr. Mark Siegel
Same as me. So look, the book starts with the idea that there's the Catholic church has miracles that are very rigid. But I actually look into that and I do a chapter on Lourdes and I in France and I actually interviewed the doctor there, Defranciscus, who actually is a Harvard epidemiologist who trained as a pediatrician, and he's very religious. That's the key to this book, that you can combine faith and science. They're not different and they're not separate. It's not like, oh, no, I'm doing surgery now. I can't believe in God. That's just crazy. In fact, we have to be looking at our patients as precious, as spiritual, as individuals. That's why I'm against physician assisted suicide. This book is about people who defy the odds. And in Lourdes, there was one case of Bernadette, like the Bernadette that inspired Lourdes years ago, where she was completely unable to walk because of a corta equine of syndrome and she couldn't control her bowels or bladder and horrible foot pain. She was in a wheelchair. She went and visited there three days later. She felt heat through her body and suddenly was fine. And all through prayer and defranciscus looked at this. But here's the point. He got 33 other doctors involved. He got an expert involved. He got radiologists involved. He even got psychiatrists involved. All said, this is really a spontaneous intervention of God. Now, that's not the only thing the book is about, because those are hard miracles. Those are church miracles. There's also miracles that I am more interested in, which is an accumulation of coincidences. I call it a miracle lane. You're in the miracle lane and you can't even pick out which is the specific miracle. The publisher of the book from Harper Collins and I, Lisa Sharkey, we actually have a back and forth. What's the main miracle of that chapter? And Clay will be interested to know that the demar Hamlin story has a lot more miracles to it than you might think.
- [28:30]
Buck Sexton
Tell me about that, because for a lot of people out there, that is one of the most chilling things to see happen on a football field. For those of you who have forgotten, football player makes a hit playing for the Buffalo Bills and nearly dies on the field. They have to bring out the. The shock machine to try to. To bring him back to life. They put him in an ambulance, rush him out of there. A game basically ends right then and there. What is the backstory now on Demar Hamlin and how exactly that went down?
- [29:04]
Dr. Mark Siegel
The backstory is the first miracle. It's that Leslie Bisson, who is the team physician for the Buffalo Bills and the Buffalo Sabres and the head of orthopedics at Buffalo, at the Medical School in 2007, he had a skater almost die. It was a former Buffalo Sabre skater, and he bled from a carotid artery, and he barely saved them with all of these transfusions. And he said, you know what? From here on, all of my teams are going to rehearse for tragic events on the field, and they're going to be rehearsed, and we're going to be ready. And when he went to the Buffalo Bills, they said, leslie, you're crazy. We haven't had a cardiac arrest on the field since 1955. He says, I'm rehearsing. And he had a premonition that one day this would be needed, but everyone thought he was crazy, but he had a drill, and he had a defibrillator right there. And he trained the trainer of the Bills, and all of them were ready for an event where somebody dropped on the field like Demar did. That's why they rushed over there. And we have an expression in medicine, time is brain. And they started CPR so fast, and that defibrillator so fast, and they got the shoulder pads off so fast, only because they had rehearsed it. Now, the next part of the miracle is that when Damar was recovering, people don't know this, but Damar and I interviewed everybody for this, and the doctors and the trainers and every. Damar was recovering. It took him a while to feel back in the game, let's say, so to speak. And, you know, it wasn't just I. He woke up. What was the final score? It was more like it took a few days for him to come back to himself. And then it was a combination of prayer, very religious to more, and yoga and meditation. All of these things helped him. And then he felt, and this is another key to the book, that having received a miracle, he needed to give out miracles. And so he went around the community, and he has been the biggest proponent of defibrillators, AEDs, automatic defibrillators in any facility imaginable. He's out there teaching CPR with that with the Sports stock with Leslie Bisson, and he goes all over the country. He's a great human being. God's giving back to him.

Speaking to Dr. Mark Siegel of Fox News, he's got a book out, the Miracles Among Us, How God's Grace Plays a role in healing. Dr. Siegel, interesting that there's research, real research that has been done and is still being done on prayer and helping people to heal. I'm wondering if you could speak to that.
- [31:39]
Dr. Mark Siegel
Well, first of all, believe it or not, the part of the brain, the right frontal part of the brain, I spoke to the researcher on this exact issue, that part of the brain where you connect the dots and you kind of have to use your imagination and creativity that creates such a positive feeling, believing in miracles, that it takes the place of negative feelings like political divisiveness in the same part of the brain. And it wants you to join a community, and it gives you a sense of hope and reassurance to think that there's a greater force than you out there that makes these decisions. God gives us the miracles he wants us to have, not necessarily the ones we're asking for. And knowing that, that we should fear God but not each other, is greatly uplifting. It definitely decreases depression and it improves health outcomes, which has been shown again and again. And I also talk about that in the book where way back in the Old Testament, Hannah's praying for a son. And God only answers that prayer because he looks down the road and he knows that son will be Samuel, who becomes a great prophet so that we have to put our lives and our futures in God's hands. Another great story from the book related to that is Robert Redfield's son who hits his head. Robert Redfield, former CDC director, hits his head, goes into a deep coma, nearly herniates, is not expected to recover at all. But he ends up being brought to the top trauma center in the country, in the world, in Maryland. And Tom Scalia is not a big believer. He runs the place. But he says, you know, we do miracles here every day. I said, what are the chances of Danny Redfield having a full recovery? He says, probably zero. Danny Redfield fully recovers and ends up back on the golf course, beating his old scores because Robert Redfield and his wife are praying to God every single day. You know, he knew John Paul ii. He's involved in the Catholic Church. He has a group of Franciscan sisters praying for him in upstate New York. One day, and this is a great story, one day he says to Danny, who is starting to recover, something's wrong with your eye, Danny. What's wrong with your eye? Are you seeing double? Danny says, no, I can't see out of my right eye at all. So Redfield goes back to God and he says, you promised me a full recovery. And I said to Redfield, you criticized the Lord. And he said, why not? At work two weeks later, Danny seemed well out of both eyes.

Buck Sexton
That's an amazing, amazing. Tell us how to get the book. Because going around. I'm going around trying to sell a book right now. I know how hard this is for people out there who like These stories and would like to maybe get some inspiration in their life. How can they find it?
- [34:20]
Dr. Mark Siegel
And that's the key. By the way. Every one of us has a miracle we can tell. My father is 102 years old, my mother's 100. They've kept together through all of the medical turns in the road. You need this.
- [34:30]
Buck Sexton
How many years have they been. Hold on. How many years have they been married?
- [34:34]
Dr. Mark Siegel
They've been married 73 years. And they. And they're married through love of each other and the fact that doctors believe that you can operate and fix a hip on a 98 year old or put a 99 year old on a ventilator. Doctors that believe in what they're doing and believe in God are more likely not to give up on you. And that's really important. And every story will inspire you in this book that you might have the same thing happen to you. And, and you can get this book on through Amazon, through Fox News Books, through Barnes and Noble. And it will. It will be published on November 18, but right now it's available in pre orders. Get my book. Get your book as well.

In a world where caring for others you've never met before defines you as doing the right thing, the Pre born network of clinics has a big team of people doing just that. This is the nonprofit organization helping pregnant women in crisis who are making that decision about life or abortion for their unborn child. This past year, they saved the lives of 67,000 unborn children. When a woman walks into one of Preborn's Network clinics, she's welcomed with open arms. She's introduced to her baby through an ultrasound. And for the first time, she sees life, not loss. And she's offered hope filled choices. When she chooses life, Preborn continues walking with her for up to two years, providing maternity clothes, diapers, counseling, and so much more. Preborn cares for the whole woman and the precious baby growing inside her. So as you're thinking about end of year giving in particular, consider the greatest investment you could ever make. Life. There are hundreds of thousands of mothers to be in this situation today as the year closes out. Your tax deductible donation can be the difference between life and death for so many tiny babies. It helps preborn accomplish their incredibly important and powerful and godly mission. So whether you can donate $28, that would be one ultrasound or $2,800. Please consider a donation to Preborn. Dial pound 250 and say the word baby. That's pound 250, say baby or visit preborn.com buck preborn.com buck Sponsored by Preborn.

Welcome back in. All right, everybody is too kind. JetBlue pilot has also reached out and said not to be outdone by Southwest, I'll also get you on a flight to get out. Yeah, in all of sorts seriousness, you guys are amazing. This, this audience, Buck, I bet including your father in law way over indexes for pilots relative to others. So the amount of time that I'm flying that I'm getting to meet a variety of of you guys, I am going to duck out early so I can make this flight because a lot of them are getting canceled. I see on the screen 2,400 flights canceled. I want to get home. I've been out of town all week. So Buck, you're going to have the last hour. I will potentially call in from the airport and give an on the ground airport report. Bucks going to finish out the the last hour. We got a bunch of talkbacks, guys. Do I need to play the talkbacks before I leave that you guys blocked out or not? In the meantime, let's take some of these calls. Tom in Roanoke, Virginia. Roanoke's a great town. If you have never been. Tom, what would you give Trump? A lot of people weighing in in the wake of the Tuesday election.
- [41:36]
Dr. Mark Siegel
I give him an A plus and I say that because he's, he's a person that is consistent. I think the fact that his entire life, he's faced a life of contracts. I think he considers the US Constitution that same contract. I think that he trusts the general population of the United States that are sentenced to. When they vote, they expect the same. Unfortunately, we have what are called rock Republicans, not Rhino. They are Republicans obliged to continually kneel. And, I mean, they do nothing but follow the current of the water that moves them in the stream of politics.
- [42:23]
Buck Sexton
Thank you for the call, Tom. By the way, I wanted to mention this. We got a couple of talkbacks I'm going to hit. I had the good fortune to see David Limbaugh, Russia's brother, last night at the Patriot Awards, and he wanted me to tell you, hi, Buck, and say that he loves listening to the show and that he is proud of us for continuing Russia's legacy. Super kind of him to.
- [42:45]
Clay Travis
He's a great guy. He's a great guy.
- [42:47]
Dr. Mark Siegel
He's a.
- [42:48]
Clay Travis
Everyone knows that David's a great guy. So that's very.
- [42:50]
Buck Sexton
Kind of very awesome. In fact, his daughter is friends with your wife, Carrie, and also said. I talked with his daughter as well. She said she's super excited to see the baby, but David's gonna come on. I don't think we've had him on. I said, hey, we need to get you on at some point. If we had him on maybe for a book.
- [43:07]
Clay Travis
I definitely interviewed him in the past.
- [43:09]
Buck Sexton
I think he had a book and we had him on at least once. But I was like, we got to get you on again. So we're gonna do that. But I did think it was awesome. It was great to hear from him and see him last night. Michael in Utah, what you got?
- [43:24]
Dr. Mark Siegel
I was just wondering a question for Clay, since he's got a book out called Balls. I was wondering when he's going to come out with named Boobs.
- [43:32]
Buck Sexton
Thank you for the call. That might be too immature for even me, although the fatter I get, I could, you know, it could just be Clay's boobs, because unfortunately, old man, I like the female boobs.

Kimmy, you're doing great. You're doing smoothies every day. Clay has a smoothie for lunch. Sometimes I'm sneaking Shake Shack. Like, I gotta.
- [43:52]

The Clay.
- [43:52]
Clay Travis
The Clay smoothie regimen is very.
- [43:54]
Buck Sexton
I have a smoothie for lunch every day. We don't have a lot of time to eat. And so if you watch the video, you'll see me. I mean, I can have a smoothie without drawing a ton of attention or making a huge mess. They tell me, Buck, that KK Listener talkback, KK that I must listen to before, by the way, a mystery.
- [44:11]
Clay Travis
A mystery talkback. Let's see if the audience can figure out who it is. These are crazy times we live in. I don't know how it got to this point, but in the spirit of Donald Trump, who brought peace to the Middle east, he's bringing peace to Ukraine and Russia. Was it nine peace deals Now? I don't know how this whole insult of Buck Sexton's serve came about, but Clay, I want you to be the bigger man here and apologize.
- [44:38]
Buck Sexton
I checked.
- [44:39]
Clay Travis
Buck's serving fundamentals, his technique, and we're talking rocket Rod Laver stuff here. We're talking Goran Ivanicevich or Michael Stick. We're talking about a guy that is really extending his toss is perfect. He crossed the hundred mile an hour spectrum. I really think an apology is in order for our tennis star Buck Sexton. And let's bring peace back to the airwaves. I just say that that's very clearly our fantastic lead in on KTRH in Houston, Mr. Michael Berry, who when he is doing his post show sometimes listens in and knows what's going on. So he's weighing in. To be fair, Clay, you were actually pretty neutral about the service. You were pretty neutral.
- [45:25]
Buck Sexton
Now, Laura, I don't know.
- [45:26]
Clay Travis
Maybe you can do it, maybe you can.
- [45:27]
Buck Sexton
Now, Laura, haters. Laura Travis, I would have to put solidly in the hater contingent.
- [45:32]
Clay Travis
Now, she was a doubt. I would say doubter. She was a doubter for sure.
- [45:36]
Buck Sexton
We are in the process of moving, which means that she has not been listening to the show very often in the last 10 or 12 days. So I think if she had been aware that you had hit 100 mile an hour serve, she would be Zapruder film style analyzing this to see whether or not she's going to it submit.
- [45:55]
Clay Travis
It as there's plenty of time for a talk back from Laura next week. If she just wants to say, you know, Buck, who would know with all that poofy hair and that giant head, your momentum on that serve was more than people would have expected. So there you go.
- [46:10]
Buck Sexton
A lot of people are saying it was the haircut that actually was the more aerodynamic.
- [46:14]
Clay Travis
That's true.
- [46:15]
Buck Sexton
There was extra aerodynamics.
- [46:17]
Clay Travis
Wait, we got a good one for you though. Where's the. Where's the one about. Is it. Hold on a second. All right, look, LL hit. LL talk back.
- [46:28]
Buck Sexton
Now that Buck has proved that he.
- [46:29]
Clay Travis
Can hit a ball over 100 miles.
- [46:31]
Buck Sexton
An hour, let's see if Clay can.
- [46:33]
Clay Travis
Prove that he can swim from Alcatraz to the beach.
- [46:37]
Dr. Mark Siegel
Keep up the good work.
- [46:39]
Clay Travis
Again, I think we gotta, we gotta do this but also we gotta raise some money or something.
- [46:44]
Buck Sexton
And again my could concern is not the swim, it's the sharks. I don't want to get killed. There's too many people who would exalt and I don't want to make maybe.
- [46:55]
Clay Travis
To make it more interesting we dangle some good ranchers stakes off like a little string.
