Buck Sexton
Welcome everybody. Second hour of the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton show. It gets going right now, which is fantastic news for all of you listening and all of us Hanging out together. We have some very interesting stories to get to here. More details on the shutdown details as well. On the 10th, the 10th strike, kinetic strike, a missile blowing up a boat with fentanyl in international waters, but departing from the narco state of Venezuela. So we shall get to some of that conversation. The White House renovation modification, whatever the proper terminology is, this is getting a lot of attention. I think that what Trump is doing, first of all, it looks good to me. The, the, the thing that they're trying to truly, like, I would say if I didn't think that aesthetically it was, I think it looks good. I also think it makes a lot of sense for the White House to have a gathering place. Sometimes they have big tents and things on the lawn. Like, I think that this makes a lot of sense. It's probably safer. It's probably a, you know, better you can control. I'm just.
- [03:42]
Clay Travis
Security wise, I think. Security wise.
- [03:44]
Buck Sexton
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Security wise, I think it makes a lot of sense. So we'll talk about, about some of that situation. But I wanted to start off with this one because the, it was, I think it was a really big moment yesterday, Clay, we mentioned it here on the show when the mayor of San Francisco, who we had been told, because we have listeners in the Bay Area, including who live in San Francisco, is being a pretty reasonable guy. That's not, that's not an endorsement of all of his policies. It's not, oh, he's great. He's the second coming of Giuliani in the 90s. Not saying that, but he is trying to make San Francisco cleaner and safer. And for a mayor, I, you know, those are really, safety is number one, because safety is first and foremost local. Right. If you are going to be wondering where the biggest risks are going to come for you and who on law enforcement side is most responsible for your safety? It's your sheriff, it's your constable, it's your local pd, your local police department. They have a bigger role in that than anybody else. Right. So the mayor of San Francisco, it seems like he, well, Trump has said this very clearly. He is taking the steps. And so when Trump says, hey, look, we're going to come in with all these federal officers and federal law enforcement, the mayor pushes back and says, you know what, we're very, by the way, this guy also is smart enough to understand how to deal with Trump, show him respect, show deference to the president. Daniel Laurie is this guy, is the mayor.
- [05:29]
Clay Travis
Yeah.
- [05:30]
Buck Sexton
And, and he's saying, Look, Mr. President, we appreciate the offer. We understand that you mean this in good faith, and you want San Franciscans to be safer on their own streets. And all the other good things that happen from this. We are taking the following steps that we think you would approve of, you would agree are good things to be doing. And if we need you in the future, we know we can reach out. But let's just let us see if we can manage this. And guess what? Trump says, look, I think we'd make this happen faster for you, but I'm respecting the system here. I understand this is a local matter for you. First and foremost, let's let you try it your way for a bit because you're willing to be reasonable. And we have this outreach. That's one version of how to deal Clay. The other version we get from the Governor of Illinois, J.B. pritzker, Mr. Poker Millionaire in a Day Guy, $1.4.
- [06:28]
Clay Travis
Million in a blackjack. Blackjack, I believe, was his chosen game. But, yeah, this is a.
- [06:33]
Buck Sexton
This is an area where, you know, it's good that I'm here to talk about guns. It's good Clay's here to talk about gambling, because I have no. I know nothing about any of this stuff. I don't even know what the rules of these games are, never mind the name.
- [06:44]
Clay Travis
I think I got some of the poker and out. Notwithstanding that, I think some of the poker guys are fired up at me, so I'm not a poker expert. We may have to clean up that at some point. Notwithstanding your praise, I.
- [06:55]
Buck Sexton
Well, you could tell me anything, because I know. I know absolutely nothing about poker. But J.B. pritzker, who seems to know a lot about poker, J.B. pritzker is telling everybody, well, look, he was on Brett Baer show. And if you get. If you get smoked by Brett Baer. I mean, Brett's a very, very good journalist and a very. Just a solid guy, I think. Does a great show, but it's generally a very polite and, you know, reasonable guy. We also love Uncle Bill. But, like, if Bill O'Reilly gives you a spanking on TV, you're not the first one. If Brett has to slap you around a little bit, though, you're really asking for it, you know. And here is JB Pritzker when he's confronted by Brett Baer on the murder rate in Chicago. Listen to this. Exchange play 14. Why does Chicago have the highest murder.
- [07:46]
Chip Roy
Rate of all the big cities?
- [07:49]
Buck Sexton
Well, we are not in the top 30 in terms of our murder rate. Indeed, our murder rate has been cut in half over the last four years and every year it's gone down by double digits. And if you look at all of the violent crime over the last four.
- [08:03]
Chip Roy
Years.
- [08:05]
Buck Sexton
US cities 17.47 per 100,000 population. Chicago is number one over Philadelphia, Houston, Dallas, San Antonio, Phoenix, Los Angeles, New York and San Diego. What I'm explaining to you now, you're talking about violent crime. Look, you can pull statistics up. These are murders. I'm explaining to you that our murder rate has been cut in half. And very importantly, Brett, and you got to hear this very importantly, we've been doing the things that are necessary to bring crime down. Right. We've invested in community violence interruption. We've invested in police. Clay, what's going on here? It's like Pritzker is trying to steamroll Brett, like he's standing in between him and a box of Twinkies.
- [08:42]
Clay Travis
Oh, that's good. That's very good. By the way, Brett Baer, did you see CBS saying, hey, maybe we're going to hire him to be the new nightly news guy on cbs. Not sure he would leave Fox, but.
- [08:57]
Buck Sexton
He'S in a contract for like, for like four more years or he's not. That's just, they're just trying to get, they're just trying to get something going over there with CBS getting attention for the new. Anyway, I'm not, not to, I mean isn't he. It says that he's in a, he's in a hard deal for until 2020.
- [09:12]
Clay Travis
Well, he's done, he's done a great job. Is is my point and I love it because he came right back and pointed out that the murder rate is awful in Chicago. And you can say as J.B. pritzker did, well, the murder rate is not as awful as it was when we were setting 21st century all time highs. The biggest, this is important.
- [09:34]
Buck Sexton
The biggest increase, Clay, BLM created the biggest nationwide one year increase in murders in the history of the national murder statistic collection by the FBI. That's right. Number one all time.
- [09:51]
Clay Travis
And they now are bragging about it being basically back to where it was in 2019. But I think a lot of people out there are saying the rates are just too high. And this is where I give Trump a lot of credit on just saying why do we accept roughly 20,000 murders a year? Why do we just say OK, in America we're not going to be concerned about that? My argument would be that to a large extent it's because of Democrats and it's because rich Democrats typically Don't deal with murders. And, and when murders do happen in their neighborhoods, I mean violent, you know, unconnected to the people, murders, just, you're walking down the street and somebody gets shot in the head and they're completely innocent. There's no connection. It's usually a big story. Still, you know this in New York City, if you get killed, you can tell me the three neighborhoods where if somebody gets killed, it's on the front page of the New York Times and everybody is saying, oh my goodness, crime is out of control. And, and then you probably can give me three neighborhoods where when somebody gets murdered, it doesn't even make the news because South Bronx, East New York.
- [11:01]
Chip Roy
A.
- [11:01]
Buck Sexton
Little bit of the eastern part of Bed Stuy, but the South Bronx is number one by far. And then Brownsville, slash East New York, which is kind of far east central, East Brooklyn, that's where, that's, that's where a huge percentage, I don't want to throw out a number, but a huge percentage of the homicides for the whole city occur in those three areas.
- [11:19]
Clay Travis
Rich people live in neighborhoods, even if crime is high, where they don't have to be concerned because they have private security, because they have armed doormen, because they've got the ability to be able to protect themselves and their children. And overwhelmingly, I think as part of this stat, I saw, I was doing my research this morning, 95% of all murders in Chicago involve black or Hispanic victims. Yes, 95%.
- [11:46]
Buck Sexton
Over 90% of those incarcerated at Rikers Island, New York are black or Hispanic. So that the data on this, the statistics on this shows you both perpetrator and victim, overwhelmingly when you're talking about violent crime involves the non white community in these cities. And I think that's also why there's this horrific irony of blm, which is that it says black lives Matter. And then all that it did was create a groundswell of political force to make things worse for black and Hispanic communities all over the country by undermining police and changing procedures and everything else and you know, under incarcerating serious criminals. So that's a mess. But I actually, Clay, I think the, to the Trump issue here for a second. You know, we talk a lot about the, the crime issue. I think the San Francisco thing with that Mayor, Mayor Laurie is really interesting because you may start to see this is maybe the, the next stage of Trumpism on some of this where there's going to be the insane Democrats and the Democrats who are willing to, on a limited issue, on a limited basis, who don't necessarily have their own presidential aspirations. Work with Trump to get results for their constituents and that will cause further disarray in the Democrat party overall. D.C. with the mayor there, Lurie, with the mayor in San Francisco, you're starting to see people say, you know what, maybe you can help us a little bit.
- [13:18]
Clay Travis
Well, what's the harm? I mean, I've never heard anybody argue if Trump is wrong and surging resources in cities, Memphis, Washington, D.C. san Francisco, Chicago, whatever city you want to talk about, if surging resources in those cities doesn't work, then crime stays the same. And unfortunately, the same people end up being victims, by and large, a violent crime. If it works, then you have a template to put in place all over the country. I mean, imagine, I would love to see this. I would love if in 2028, as part of, you know, J.D. vance or Marco Rubio, whoever's running, I would love to see a Republican candidate come out and say, my goal is over the four year term that I'm in office, to cut murders by half in this country. I want murders to go from 20,000 a year to 10,000 a year. And I'm going to surge federal resources to help all of our cities and states try to make that happen. I don't understand how that is not an innately great political result. Just think about that, Buck. I mean, it's in the same way that we have grown used to there being 20,000 murders. We used to just say, hey, well, we could never secure the border. And then Trump showed up, they put a plan in place, and even Bernie Sanders, we'll play this. Maybe when we come back, even Bernie Sanders now is saying, hey, Democrats blew it on the border. Trump was right and he has secured the border. What if Trump's right on? He can drive down violent crime in this country.
- [14:50]
Buck Sexton
I got to tell you, I think he is. And when you go into Compstat and the various police data, and soon it will be, by the way, AI is going to also be very helpful for a lot of these law enforcement processes to look at data sets, understand where hotspots are, understand if there is any statistical basis for believing that certain policies or procedures are effective in lowering or limiting crime in some areas. All it would take in most major cities is removing repeat violent offenders or serious offenders from the general population. And within a few years of that clay, you would have massive drops in crime. So we're not even talking because getting the person who their first crime is, you know, murdering the. Murdering the guy, you know, mowing the lawn next door because he's having a bad day. We live in society. Human beings are imperfect. They do bad things. Evil is real. Can't stop everything. You can stop the guy who finally strangles and murders some woman jogging in the park who's already been arrested 50 times. You actually can stop that guy before he does the last heinous crime that they and that alone would bring down the crime rates dramatically. But the left is going to have to accept that if they do this based on the numbers that we currently live with, you're going to have a lot of nonwhite people in these cities who are incarcerated for long periods of time. That is going to happen based on the stats, based on the numbers.
- [16:26]
Clay Travis
Am I crazy for saying just straight up like that should be a goal of 2028 at Republican Politics is I'm going to commit resources and we're going to try over four years to drive the murder rate down by.
- [16:39]
Buck Sexton
I hope they would show. Yes, maybe we put a thousand more people in prison and say Chicago and yes, 90% of them are black or Hispanic. But by doing so we've saved 4,000 mostly black and Hispanic lives. And never mind all the people, all the law abiding black and Hispanic residents who are not subject to crimes and people selling crack on their corner. You know, I think we win this argument if we make this argument cozy earth.
- [17:06]
Clay Travis
Speaking of winning an argument, they are winning the argument for the best possible sheets out there. And right now you can try them for 100 nights and a 10 year warranty. You've got nothing to lose.

Welcome back in Clay Travis BUCK SEXTON SHOW we were just talking about the fact that Trump solved everything at the border, so much so that Bernie Sanders is even giving him credit. Listen to this.
- [22:06]
Chip Roy
You don't have any borders, then you don't have a nation, right? In a sense. So has historically the United States done well under Democrats and Republicans protecting the border? The answer is no. Trump did a better job. I don't like Trump, you know, but we should have a secure border and it ain't that hard to do. Biden didn't do it. Those before him did not do it. We should have a secure border, period.
- [22:30]
Buck Sexton
Yes, Bernie Sanders. Correct. BERNIE Sanders Soundbite Very accurate and smart in that soundbite. Because that is true. So I don't know.
- [22:43]
Clay Travis
Yeah. Not even remotely controversial, but it is somewhat interesting that Bernie Sanders would be deciding to come out and endorse one of the signature achievements of the Trump administration so far. And I do think again, it speaks to a potential test case of what Trump could do with violent crime in this country, which everybody says is an intractable, unaddressable problem. We used to hear that a lot about the border and now there isn't a word about the border well, it's.
- [23:12]
Buck Sexton
Also interesting that they're convinced that taking everyone's AR15s would lower the crime rate, even though that's absurd and statistically insane. But they don't think that taking criminals off the streets would lower the crime rate. Hmm. Rapid radios are the modern day version of walkie talkies that, you know, we played with. We had those we were kids. Except these are high tech and the latest and greatest. They work on a nationwide LTE network. So rapid radios let you connect with anyone across the country who's also carrying a rapid radio. Great to have on hand, particularly if there's a service disruption in your area. I just think rapid radios are something you and your family members should have distributed to them beforehand so that it's part of your preparation plan. They're small, easy to use, come ready to go right out of the box. You just push one button and you're in business. They also hold the charge for up to five days. Rapid radios combine the simplicity of walkie talkies with today's technology for peace of mind. Clay and I both got them in our homes and as you know, my in laws use them. And I was talking to them right after that big hurricane hit in North Carolina. Visit rapidradios.com Save up to 60% off. Get free UPS shipping from Michigan. Go rapidradios.com code radio. Welcome back into Clay and Buck. Congressman Chip Roy joins us now from the great state of Texas. Congressman, appreciate you being with us, sir.
- [24:31]
Chip Roy
Great to be on as always. Hope you guys are doing well on this great Friday.
- [24:35]
Buck Sexton
Yeah, we're, we're, we're in pretty good spirits, pretty good shape over here. I think the country overall is. Although this shutdown, it's starting to feel more real to people as paychecks are getting missed. And I got the Washington Post headline here. Average Obamacare premiums set to rise 30%. Congressman, what the heck is going on here? I thought Obamacare was supposed to make it all cheaper.
- [25:02]
Chip Roy
Yeah, I mean, there's so much going on to talk about. I mean, the short version is this. We did our job. We passed a bill that would fund government through Thanksgiving. Right? I mean, we passed that over a month ago in the House. Chuck Schumer, for very political purposes, has chosen not to. And you're right. I mean, the president, God bless him, and Russ Fot, the head of the omb, they cobbled together money to pay our troops at the midpoint of October. But this Friday, we're gonna hit the end of the month. I think we can scrape A few more bucks together to figure out how to pay the troops, but it's gonna get thin. And you got tsa, you got the Border Patrol. And they're doing all of this for no reason other than political games. There's no other reason to do it. Right. They're not objecting to our spending money for something. They're not picking a righteous fight. What they're saying is they have nothing to run on, so they wanna try to pick a fight on healthcare and say that that's what we're gonna win the election on next year. But you, they give up the joke. The fact is, the subsidies that they're seeking, $400 billion to go straight to insurance companies, it gives up the game. That, as the Washington Post said two weeks ago. You quoted the Post. The Post said the Affordable Care act has been anything but affordable because all it is is a failed system of giving money to insurance companies, allowing them to get rich while hardworking Americans pay more for premiums and get less coverage, get less care from doctors and fewer. So the President's got alternatives and we'll talk about those alternatives. I released a whole plan for health care last January called the Case for Health Care Freedom with expanded health savings accounts, expanded direct primary care, more options for people to go to health sharing ministries, the ability to drive prices down. But Democrats don't want to talk about that. They want to play games. And I'll just say this. They're holding the government hostage, but they've been holding the American people hostage to a broken health care system for a decade. And now they're trying to do it for political purposes.
- [27:01]
Clay Travis
We're talking to Congressman Chip Roy, big Texas fan. Unfortunately for him, his wife's Texas A and M Aggies are having a better season right now. We may get to that eventually. But Congressman, I, I'm curious. You have been focused on insider trading. And this is something that gets both Buck and myself fired up about. You know, we just had the scandal about insider trading in the NBA. You know, players, what they're going to play or not, all those things. I get why that's a crime. I'm actually way more interested in why everybody in Congress has incredible timing like Nancy Pelosi. I mean, she's basically Warren Buffett. Isn't it kind of a no brainer to not allow Congresspeople to engage typically in individual stock trading? And why has this not happened?
- [27:50]
Chip Roy
Yeah, I mean, look, this is one of those things that polls at something like 90% clay. And I think Republicans have been missing the mark not jumping aboard. I mean, I introduced legislation, legislation five years ago on a bipartisan basis. There are multiple bills we spent this summer kind of cobbling together and merging those bills together into a package that now has bipartisan consensus. And I don't say that very often. Right. There's not that many things that we agree on on a bipartisan basis, but we've got, I think, 20 Republican co sponsors, about 60 Democrat co sponsors, and Republicans have just been a little slow to catch up to the, to the argument. Look, I think it's pretty simple. You shouldn't be trading stocks and making money for yourself based on information that you have at your disposal. But even put that aside, just straight up, are you able to make good decisions, for example, in the House Judiciary Committee as I serve on, about whether to break up companies. Right. And antitrust, or whether to do something with insurance companies and hospital corporations, with health care reforms? Or maybe you're in armed services and you're an appropriator and you're voting on defense contracts. How can you be doing that in good faith if you're getting richer based on the policy choices you're making? Because we now live in a corporate cronies type environment where massive federal contracts are at play. Let me give you an example. Southwest Airlines, I was giving them trouble for their mask mandates and all of their requirements on their flight attendants and their pilots. And you know what they told me? Well, we might risk the $200 million government contract that we have. That's the world we live in and I'm sick of it. And we shouldn't be trading stocks. So my advice to Republicans is put this bill on the floor and let's vote on it, because I don't think Republicans can vote against it.

Buck Sexton
Well, I would love to see some accountability on this one, Congressman, but it feels like this is one of those that somehow always doesn't really get done at the 11th hour. I think we all could take some guesses as to why that is. I think some members really like being able to outdo a lot of professional stock pickers for various hedge funds and such. But let me ask you, what is the current, Because I think this is important. The current rules are what for picking stocks for a member of Congress. Like what? Because there was a big surge to do something about this a decade ago and then they passed some watered down law. So what are the rules right now?
- [30:24]
Chip Roy
The rules right now are you pretty much can do anything you want, you just have to report them. And it is those increased Reporting requirements. A little over a decade ago in the Stock act, that was what has caused the environment. Where I can get the. Where we have the information at our disposal to tell us that we need to have these stock trading bans in place. So I think that helped us. But we need to put requirements that limit your ability to trade. There's no reason you shouldn't be in a broadly traded fund or you shouldn't just be able to put it in a, you know, simple, you know, fund that has no tie to a specific stock and then just get out of the business. And my colleagues who say, well, we have a right. We should be able to trade. Look, there's only 435 of us. There's 320 million Americans. So if you don't want, if you want to trade, you want to day trade, then just get out of Congress. So we're going to try to force a vote on this. We've got Republicans and Democrats committed to force this issue, and we're going to do it as soon as we can this fall.

Clay Travis
All right, let's go into the AGS race. I know that Texas has got a ton of super competitive primaries going on all across the board. So many different moving parts. You were running for Attorney General of the great state of Texas. Why do you want to be ag? How is the race going? What should people out there? And by the way, let me also add this. The primary in Texas is in March. So I know everybody down in your state right now is obsessed with high school football and college football. And I mean, it is a football crazy place. But by the time we come out of Christmas and New Year's, it's basically going to be almost early voting time. How is the campaign going? What should people know in Texas right now, as primary season's only about six months away?
- [32:20]
Chip Roy
And you're exactly right, we're about four months away from early voting. And look, I'm running for Attorney general for the simple reason that Texas is worth fighting for and preserving and protecting. And Texas is under assault. We've got this reprieve, happily, with President Trump and, you know, good folks in the administration that are securing the border, that are making sure that they put us in a good position. And I think that's important. But we also have to look ahead and know how Texas is going to do after President Trump. We have wide open borders that are currently stopped, but you've got all these bad actors that are still wanting to make profit and putting fentanyl into our streets. And to have you know, dangerous individuals in our communities. You've got these organized Marxists and leftists, George Soros, prosecutors that are putting criminals on our streets in San Antonio and in Austin and Houston and Dallas. And then we've got the extent to which we've got Sharia law and we've got radical Islamists that are coming into our state and that they're setting up strongholds throughout the state of Texas. Not just Mamdani in New York, not just Dearborn, not just Minneapolis, but Dallas. You have the Muslim Brotherhood, who's looking at Dallas as the epicenter of the advancement of Sharia law. The attorney general has to be at the center of that fight. The attorney general has to have experience. The attorney general has to have been somebody who stood up in court, as I have as an assistant United States Attorney, or has stood up as the first assistant attorney general and filed cases in front of the Supreme Court, defended Texans. And we've got to make sure someone can lead and carry Texas forward in the absence of a President Trump, not just alongside President Trump going forward.
- [34:02]
Clay Travis
All right, Chip, what in the world has happened to your Texas Longhorns? Your wife's an Aggie. I'm not feeling good about your chances this year, but I watched that game against Kentucky. I mean, it was like y' all didn't even have an offense. Offensive line can't block anybody. You got Mississippi State this weekend, and down the line again, you got the Aggies. What's going on?
- [34:26]
Chip Roy
Yeah, well, look, I mean, watching that game last week was tough, but we got, you know, Texas now going into Mississippi State. That's always a tough game. Lots of cowbell, as you know. And, you know, that's a tough place to play. Look, A and M is going to have a tough one, too. They got to go on the road into Death Valley at lsu, no doubt. And, you know, we need A and M is going to have to have the defense show up. It did not show up last week against Arkansas. They let Arkansas stack 42 points on them. Their defense better show up when they go down to lsu. And the offense needs to prove they can do it on the road like they did with Notre Dame. Look, with Texas, we just need the offense to get in sync. Obviously not where we want to be with two losses, but we got a little gift. Not 100% sure why Kentucky went for it twice there in that, you know, we kind of got a little lucky, in my view, that they decided to go for it there on fourth down with that same play. So, look, you know, we need a lot of pressure been pointed on Arch. I think you already noted the offensive line has basically been a wide open door and he's just been getting rushed. If you look at the stats, it's been pretty crazy. So, you know, Sark's got to figure out how to deal with what he's got. Right. Like Rumsfeld said, you could go to war with the army you got. If the offensive line's not getting the job done, you got to get Arch out and let him create a little bit and you got to figure out how to protect him. And, you know, hopefully we can get back on track this weekend because we still got a shot. But every game the rest of the year, the game that we could win or lose and you know, we want to, we want to be able to finish with two losses, not more so. Got to step on the gas.
- [35:57]
Clay Travis
You co signed all that? Buck, you think he broke down?
- [35:59]
Buck Sexton
I was going to say. I agree. I'm not going to throw any flags on that analysis. I think it tracks with mostly what I'm seeing every weekend on Sundays, Saturdays.
- [36:09]
Clay Travis
Good guess.
- [36:10]
Buck Sexton
Whatever. Close enough.
- [36:13]
Clay Travis
Congressman, we appreciate you. Good luck on the campaign. We'll talk to you again soon. And tell your wife to start trying to figure out how she's going to celebrate the big Aggie win at the end of the year.
- [36:23]
Chip Roy
Yeah, well, I can tell you that she's, you know, they're starting to feel it. They're starting to talk a little smack and my son and daughter, they're kind of leaning A and M direction and so. But you know what? I also, you got to remember I went to Virginia undergrad. They had a great game last week pulling that one out. They're now 6 and 1 and who would have thought Virginia would be up ranked higher than Texas right now?
- [36:40]
Clay Travis
So Tony Elliott done a great job in Charlottesville this year at uva. We appreciate the time, my man. And come on. Anytime.
- [36:50]
Chip Roy
All right, thanks. Like, God bless. Take care.
- [36:53]
Clay Travis
That's Chip Roy. I think he's going to be the next AG in state of Texas, which is going to be very important because they've got a huge battle going on. As we've talked about, Buck, on the Republican Senate primary side where they got three big time candidates just throwing punches to try to see who's going to be the nominee for the Republican Party going forward. Remember, on the Democrat side, we may get Jasmine Crockett before all is said and done. All right, Buck, are you ready? I have a winner. We were just talking about college football I have a winner for the NFL. We have won four times with the prize picks pick. This is the week Prize picks pick. Here we go. Meaning this week's not a W E a K. This is a very strong pick. Jackson Dart, Caleb Williams, Mac Jones, C.J. stroud. I'm making this very easy for everybody. Jackson Dart, Caleb Williams, Mac Jones, CJ Stroud all to throw at least one touchdown pass. That is more than one half touchdown pass. All starting quarterbacks in the NFL. Jackson Dart, Caleb Williams, Mack Jones, CJ Stroud. We're going for a fifth win. If I'm right about those four all throwing at least one touchdown pass, then that pays out at 2.2 to 1. So five dollars turns into $12. I think I got that math right easier. Ten dollars would turn into 22. So maybe it's. Maybe it's $11. Anyway, get hooked up right now. Prizepix.com Code Clay.

Welcome back in Clay Travis Buck Sexton show coast to coast poker fans Poker players are upset with me. We gotta clean up my error here. Buck Gutty. What is a gutty in poker parlance? I clearly do not know. This is why I am a fish. This is why I do not not accept invites to any high end poker tournaments. Although Buck Pablo Torre who has been breaking a lot of different stories says and this makes total sense that there are many more star NBA players that may have been hosting these games for mafia dons, including he names Kevin Garnett who is another hall of Fame player. Way more famous. I would Say Buck, you would probably agree with this than Chauncey Billups.
- [42:50]
Buck Sexton
Yes.
- [42:51]
Clay Travis
And I just said when we started this conversation, look, Chauncey Billups is a famous guy. If you are a big basketball fan, your average person doesn't know who Chauncey Billups is. If he was doing this and the mafia had X rayed card tables and all this technology, do you really think they were only doing it with him? Of course not. I think this thing could get really messy in a hurry. But in the meantime, let me clean up my error. Chris from New York City listening on W o R. Let's start on the east coast with criticism nn professional poker dealer here.
- [43:27]
Buck Sexton
When he says goody, it's not a gut instinct. What he's referring to is a gut.
- [43:32]
Clay Travis
Shot straight draw, which is a very, very low probability hand. It's a straight that you're most likely not gonna make.
- [43:39]
Buck Sexton
So you would not put a lot of money in the pot for it.
- [43:42]
Clay Travis
So if you are putting a lot.
- [43:43]
Buck Sexton
Of money in the pot, it's very.
- [43:46]
Clay Travis
Risky and not very profitable.
- [43:48]
Buck Sexton
But it would be if you knew.
- [43:50]
Clay Travis
What the car was coming. Yeah, I mean, look, that's well said. And we'll also play on the left side. We started on the right side of the country. Let's go to the left side. We got a huge audience in Spokane. Newsradio 5, 90K Q N T. Richard is also teeing off on me. Here's what he had to say about my misattribution of the term gutty. Hey Clay, this is Richard. Clearly you do not know anything about.
- [44:14]
Buck Sexton
Poker because a gutty is a reference to a gut shot straight draw.
- [44:20]
Clay Travis
Like you need a card in the.
- [44:22]
Buck Sexton
Middle of a run in order to make a straight. It is not an instinct, it's an actual term for poker.
- [44:30]
Chip Roy
Yeah.
- [44:31]
Clay Travis
What we get there basically, Buck, is you only make certain moves in poker if you have a bit of knowledge that maybe you shouldn't have. If the game is not fair, as has been talked about in poker for a long time, even back in the wild west, Doc Holliday every now and then would shoot a few men over a cheated game of, of cards.
- [44:54]
Buck Sexton
I am, like I said, not familiar with these things. In college people used to play strip poker, but I of course never partook in any of that, that stuff, that chicanery.
- [45:06]
Clay Travis
I'll tell you this, based on the girls that went to Amherst, I'm not sure I'd want to play strip poker there when we come back.
- [45:12]
Buck Sexton
I can't even defend Amherst on that.
