Hour 1 of The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show kicks off with personal reflections before diving into a wide-ranging discussion on major political, economic, and cultural developments. Buck returns from a family trip to New York City, sharing anecdotes about his father's 78th birthday and a baptism, setting a personal tone before transitioning into the day’s top stories.
The hour’s central focus is on President Donald Trump’s economic and trade victories, including a landmark UK-US trade agreement announced alongside UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer, and a massive EU-US trade deal. The hosts emphasize how these deals validate Trump’s long-standing “America First” trade policy and his strategic use of economic leverage. They highlight the record-breaking performance of the S&P 500 and Dow Jones, attributing the market’s rebound to Trump’s leadership and urging listeners to stay invested for long-term gains.
The segment also critiques mainstream media and political opponents, asserting that Trump’s economic foresight—especially on China—has been vindicated. The hosts contrast Trump’s success with the Biden administration’s failures, particularly on inflation, wage growth, and border security. They argue that Trump has delivered on his promises more effectively than any recent president.
A significant portion of the hour is devoted to a viral video of a violent mob assault in Cincinnati, which the hosts and Vice President JD Vance condemn as a brutal, racially charged attack. They criticize the mainstream media’s silence, suggesting a double standard in coverage based on the racial dynamics of the incident. The discussion calls for harsher penalties for mob violence, urging district attorneys to prioritize violent crime over nonviolent offenses.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome in everybody to the Monday edition of The Clay
Travis and Buck Sexton Show. Play held down the Fort
no Keg parties. I'm told probably well behaved, everything very good.
While I was gone play thank you for doing that.
And I was in New York City my dad's seventy
eighth birthday. There might have even been play a singing
(00:24):
Trump card involved for his birthday, not actual.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
Trump, but it was pretty fun. Yes, like I've heard
it's your birthday. I've heard it's your birthday.
Speaker 1 (00:32):
Anyway, So we had a good time up in New
York City, and you know what, I still love I
love New York.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
I'm not gonna wear one of.
Speaker 1 (00:38):
The T shirts because I'm not a tourist ever there,
even though I don't live there anymore.
Speaker 2 (00:43):
But I do love NYC.
Speaker 1 (00:44):
And I think it's they're gonna fight back on this
mom Donnie madness. We'll dive into all of that, but yeah,
it was very nice to spend some time with the family.
Little baby Speed got baptized.
Speaker 2 (00:56):
Which is very important, very important.
Speaker 1 (00:58):
We were the lovely Catholic church there with the family baptized,
so I appreciated the ability to do that. Over the weekend,
bring him into the church and Clay, we got a
lot of news. The big thing actually all morning I
was watching the real time press conference, the live press
conference going on with Kerr Starmer, the UK Prime Minister
(01:19):
and Donald Trump, where they were announcing a UK US
deal on trade, big trade deal, legitimately huge. And then
also the EU has announced a huge trade and I
remember the EU was actually the largest economy in the world.
Now it's not a country, so we are still the
(01:40):
number one country, but if you add all the EU together,
it's the largest economy in the world. And so it's
meaningful to say the least that these deals went through.
And Clay, before we get into the we have to
get into the Trump was right, and we said, guys,
give it time, give it time that you go back.
Speaker 2 (01:58):
You listen.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
The great thing about this radio shows if you ever
were curious, when do the market tank, Clay, when we're.
Speaker 3 (02:04):
April April, it was in the absolute tank. Everybody was saying, hey,
the economy's in trouble, recessions coming. Your four to oh
one k's are worthless. Trump has no idea what he's doing,
and we said, hold your stocks. If you happen to
have additional money. Now is the time probably to put
(02:25):
more money in buy and hold long term. And as
we are speaking to all of you this Monday, another
all time high in the s and P five hundred
in the Dow. If you just never checked your four
to oh one k year starts and you're like, hey,
I'm only going to check it halfway through, you're up
big on the year. If you bought in April, you're
(02:46):
up nearly thirty percent from where those lows were when
all the so called experts were telling you that the
world was falling apart.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
So it is a huge victory laugh moment for Trump
because we said at the time, and this was a
moment where the so called consensus was very much going
against Trump, right the economists, the CNBC watchers, and the
CNBC hosts, that that whole crew was, well, we all
know the trade deal, that this is going to lead
(03:15):
to trade wars and higher prices, and the stock market's
going to tank and it can lead to a recession.
And to be fair, and this is why I said,
you can go back and listen, we said, we do
not know that actually that Donald Trump has earned the
right to have the trust of the American people on
the economy and on negotiating trade, I think more than
really anything else. Maybe immigration too, but on the economy
(03:38):
and trade, he knows more than the people criticizing him.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
He truly does.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
He understands these dynamics better than the people out there,
you know, the peanut gallery, the cheap seats, you know,
saying oh, he's going to ruin everything. We have huge
trade deals announced. Here's just a little overview of some
of this. Okay, this was you had Trump yesterday in Scotland, Turnberry, apparently.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
A lovely golf course.
Speaker 1 (04:03):
Here was Trump in Scotland talking about how look at
where the American economy is. Look at all this enthusiasm
and play this has cut seven play it every leader.
Speaker 4 (04:15):
When I went to NATO the other day, every leader said,
you have the hottest country in the world. We have
the hottest country in the world, and we're taking in
hundreds of billions of dollars. We have the highest stock
market we've ever had, we have the best numbers we've
ever had. But we have hundreds of billions of dollars
pouring into our country. And I think it's the hottest.
And by the way, one year ago our country was dead.
(04:37):
We had a dead country because of an incompetent president
and incompetent democrats. All they know how to do is
talk and think about conspiracy theories and nonsense. If they'd
waste their time talking about America being great again, it
would be so much nicer, so much easier play.
Speaker 1 (04:54):
A big part of this, too is people looking at
these negotiations, these trade not now these deals right, negotiat
have come to a conclusion it's a great deal for America.
They can't get around this that this has improved the
economic landscape for the American people. And this is in
so many ways the manifestation of an America first trade
(05:16):
policy as in advantaging this country.
Speaker 3 (05:19):
Finally, what Trump is a master of is leverage. It's
the number one thing that he recognizes. If he gets
an inch on you, he will turn it into a mile.
And his thought and this is one of the things
that you can go back and watch Trump talking about
this for generations if you so desire, even on Oprah,
(05:40):
what he understands is this market is the most valuable
market to have access to in the world. And his
perspective on that is there should be a cost that
we extract from other countries to be able to access
the richest market of consumers in the world. Everybody said,
(06:00):
this is unbelievable. There's no way this is going to work.
We had a balanced budget last month that nobody's talking about.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
Now.
Speaker 3 (06:07):
I understand that it can be somewhat of a calendar quirk,
and look, we've got to get better and better. But
there's almost zero doubt that we are going to have
hundreds of billions of dollars in terras. And what Trump
has said so far has been true. The American consumer
is not fronting those costs. It is being eaten largely
(06:29):
by manufacturers and other countries that have cut back prices
to try to remain competitive. Now, we still have a
deal to do with China, but as we near August,
first Liberation Day was in early April. If I recall correctly,
and if you just didn't look at your stocks and
now you suddenly decide, hey, it's getting close to August.
(06:52):
Maybe I'll go look at my four to h one K.
Maybe I'll go look at the index funds that I hold.
You've got record money, and I think people are feeling
that you are not seeing skyrocketing inflation, inflation remains low
and in general wage growth, which is really the I
would argue the most important single stat is is wage
(07:16):
growth outgrowing cost of goods. If you had to synthesize
what makes you feel like you're doing better in general,
it is when your income as a worker is growing
faster than the cost of the goods that you purchase
with your income. And we have a situation where Trump
has reversed the downturn of Biden, and your incomes are
(07:37):
growing faster than the things that you have to buy now,
I think this is important. The prices are never going
to come back down, and this is the toxicity of inflation.
By and large, we never hit negative inflation. There are
all sorts of negative connotations economically that would occur. So
the pernicious, awful, dastardly part of inflation is it does
(08:01):
not ever go back. You're wanting to buy a hamburger
for three dollars instead of five, it's never going to
get returned to the three dollars. All you can do
is slow the rate of growth, which is why I
always compare it to putting on weight. If you're continuing
to put on weight sooner or later the fact that
you're putting on weight at a lower rate does not
(08:22):
mean you're not going to be fat. And so all
of those are major issues that unfortunately are going to
stay with us from the Biden regime. But Trump, Look,
he ran on a economy, border crime, and six months
in buck I can't remember a president who has more
delivered on the things he said he would deliver on
(08:42):
than Trump. In the first six months has everything that
he ran on. Economy, border crime is infinitely better than
it was under Biden.
Speaker 1 (08:51):
And we're not even doing the comparison you could do,
which is imagine I Kamala Harris was president, right, Well, yeah,
none of this and you know that would be the
thing that most people would go to. If Trump had
underperformed a little bit the first six months, ran into
some stumbles or whatever, you could always do the well,
at least it's not Kammala in this case. It's like
(09:12):
comparing the top student in the class to the worst
student in the class. Right, I mean, the difference is
night and day between the administration that you are getting
right now and what could have been and what forty
eight percent forty nine percent, No, it was more than that.
Forty nine percent of the American people voted for in
this last election, which is insane, which is to have
(09:33):
Kamala Harris in charge of this economy, none of these
trade deals would have gotten done Trump. This is just
one of these moments where remember we said we learned
a lesson from the first term, which was everyone quote
unquote everyone said Trump is wrong on China. He's wrong
to take the approach you to China. And not only
(09:55):
was it correct in the implementation, it was so correct
that Biden didn't change it because they knew that it
would cause problems, it would be bad, right, So he
was right on China when everyone said he was going
to be wrong.
Speaker 2 (10:06):
Play.
Speaker 1 (10:06):
I think what we're seeing again is Trump will be
right on trade negotiations when quote unquote everyone said that
he would be wrong. Here he is on the trade
deal with the EU. We didn't even talk about this
in specifics. Yeah, this is cut eight play it.
Speaker 4 (10:21):
This started months ago, this negotiation, so we knew pretty
much what we were getting into, and we were able
to make a deal that's very satisfactory to both sides.
Speaker 2 (10:31):
So it's.
Speaker 4 (10:33):
Tremendously it's a very powerful deal. It's a very big deal.
It's the biggest of all the deals. It will be
the biggest of all the deals. So we're very honored
to have done so.
Speaker 1 (10:43):
And it's a huge deal with the EU, as I said,
the largest actual economic zone on the planet because it's
all those countries put together. And now clay American producers
will be operating on a more level playing field with
trade partners like the EU. There's hundreds of billions of
dollars of investment that's agreed to from the EU. Here
(11:06):
there's a lot of US energy that's going to be bought.
Additional energy is going to be bought by the EU. Now,
I mean this is it's so good that they can't
even come up the Trump haters can't even come up
with a way to tell you it's bad. I think
that tells you everything. Yeah, look, I think they're running scared.
I mean I talked about this a little bit over
(11:26):
the weekend. I think Trump has been proven right on
the Epstein stuff, which I know people are still somewhat
fired up about. But Democrats, and I think there's audio
of Trump talking about this, but Democrats had these Epstein
files for four years. They're losing on the economy they're
losing on border, they're losing on crime. So now they're
trying to say, oh, Trump's to blame for Epstein, and
(11:48):
my thing on that would be, well, you had the
files for four years under Joe Biden, why did you
not release everything? Why did you not bring all the charges.
Speaker 3 (11:57):
We'll see what's going to end up happening there, But
I do think it's worth you all thinking about this.
They've pivoted from economy, border crime attacks to hey, all
we can really hit Trump on is Epstein, And that
is I think a sign, honestly of how well he's
doing on all the major big issues the EBC, economy,
(12:18):
border crime that he ran on in the first six months,
that they're not even really coming after him. I think
they've recognized buck that going after Trump on hey, he's
deporting too many people is actually harming them.
Speaker 2 (12:30):
You know.
Speaker 3 (12:31):
The Wall Street Journal had an incredible that graphic over
the weekend. Maybe we can talk about this a little bit.
Democrats have hit a thirty five year low in popularity.
That's pretty extraordinary and the lowest level of popularity that
has ever existed. Because they are picking a lot of
things to attack Trump on that the vast majority of
(12:52):
the American public agrees with him.
Speaker 1 (12:54):
On it is a good day everybody. Trump is taking
a much deserved victory lap, and just look at what's
going on with the economy all around you. I know
that sometimes good is less interesting or grabs the attention
less than catastrophe, especially in the news business.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
But there will be challenges ahead. Trust me.
Speaker 1 (13:16):
Take take it in that things are going well right now.
One of the challenges Trump talked about was really no
progress with Russia at all, so we can talk more
about that. Trump is ticked off at Putin. I could
tell you from watching that interview this morning and previous
statements he's made, So that's something that's going to get
more attention now. And I think Trump has the wind
at his back. I think Putin is underestimating the kind
(13:39):
of pain that Trump is willing to inflict economically on
Russia to bring this thing to a conclusion. So we
can talk about that as well. But on trade, Trump
is not tired of winning. President Trump is right on
the money, that's for sure, and it's just evidence of
how hard he's working to make the economy roar. Now
that's fantastic, but you have to take individual action.
Speaker 2 (14:01):
For yourself, for your future.
Speaker 1 (14:03):
It's not about where things are going to be tomorrow,
it's where things are going to be in five years,
ten years, twenty years. Look at the price of gold
over the last year. Look at the price of gold
over the last decade. You will be astonished when you
see how much it has gone up over the last
ten years. Gold, my friends, increases in value over time.
We got all these governments all over the world that
are buying up gold too because they're printing money. So
(14:25):
even with Trump riding the ship, there's a really strong
case to add some gold reserves into your portfolio. It's
what I have. I recommend you do the same. And
for any of you who have an old Ira or
four oh one k, Birch Gold Group can help you
get a tax sheltered four oh one k or Ira
in physical gold.
Speaker 2 (14:47):
All right.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
They can help you transfer your old Ira or four
one k into a physical gold irray or four o
one k makes so much sense, and it's a great

violent mob, I'm fortunately in Cincinnati attacking innocent white people.
(16:49):
And the Vice President of the United States has weighed

Speaker 2 (18:53):
Welcome back into Clayan Fuck.
Speaker 1 (18:55):
So we had Trump talking about the big trade deals,
truly momentous, and we've also got JD Vance who was
in Ohio and he's speaking there. Jd covering a whole
range of topics. But one thing that I think might
have stuck out to people a bit is in the
(19:15):
course of talking about the usual things that the vice
president would speak about.
Speaker 2 (19:20):
I remember JD.
Speaker 1 (19:21):
Vance a guy who grew up in the Heartland under
rough circumstances, and if you've read Hillbilly lg his best
selling memoir, you certainly know the challenges that he faced.
But as he was in Ohio, he addressed something that
you may have seen some viral video of over the weekend.
(19:43):
And assault a gang assault really, or an assault by
a gang of people, I should say, a whole group
of people at a jazz festival. And here is how
it went. Here's JD Vance talking about a play.
Speaker 5 (19:58):
I saw as a mob of lawless thugs beating up
on an innocent person. And it's disgusting, and I hope
every single one of those people who engage in violences
prosecuted to the full extent of the law.
Speaker 2 (20:07):
And they will be.
Speaker 5 (20:08):
They will be so long as law enforcement in the
state of Ohio takes their job seriously. I know Dave
Yos cares a lot about these things, but yeah, I
actually you're right. Bertie did send me a clip of
this and we talked a little bit about it. I
don't know the full context. I don't know how the
fight started, but the one part that I saw that
was really gruesome is you had a grown man who
(20:30):
sucker punched a middle aged woman. And where I come from,
at least when you have a grown man whose sucker
punch is a middle aged woman, that person ought to
go to jail for a very long time. And frankly,
he's lucky there weren't some better people around.
Speaker 2 (20:42):
Because they would have handled it themselves. But if they're
gonna not.
Speaker 5 (20:45):
Gonna handle it, the cops in Cincinnati, the law enforcement.
Speaker 1 (20:48):
You've got to prosecute people. Clay, I totally agree with JD.
Sentimen here just a couple of quick thoughts on this.
First off, as we were about to pull this up.
I just wanted the latest details. I couldn't go to
the New York Times for Yeah, I couldn't go to
the Washington Post for this is a viral video, millions
and millions of views over the weekend. And in the
video you see to a white man and a white
(21:10):
woman surrounded by people who are black, attack them, are
kicking them on the ground, kicking the guy on the ground,
and then a woman comes over it toward the end.
I believe it's is his wife or his girlfriend. That's
the part I was trying to get the details on.
And some other a guy again, a black male punches
(21:30):
this woman in the face out of nowhere, knocks her
out coal. I mean, looks like she could have had
You know, you can fall down from a punch in
the face like that.
Speaker 2 (21:37):
This has happened.
Speaker 1 (21:38):
This isn't just theoretical and slip into a coma and
die from hitting your head on the concrete. You know,
this is these kinds of violent assaults. Our society has
to be a little more clear about a few things,
Clay when it comes to the criminal justice. I know
that people want to treat like Wall Street insider trading
like you know you should go to prison for the
(21:58):
rest of your life, you know, because that But actually
violence should be the thing that is violence, sexual violence,
these are the things that should be the most severely
punished by law, and I think that the law should
be changed. I don't know what they are individual states necessarily,
I don't know what it is in Ohio, but if
you are stomping somebody who is defenseless on the ground
(22:19):
as part of a gang, there should be serious enhancements
that send you to prison for a long time for that,
because there's no excuse and no rationale for that that
could be accepted. And then the guy who punched the
woman in the face, I mean, it was gruesome. And
the media is completely disinterested in this or uninterested in
this story.
Speaker 3 (22:39):
Yeah, Elon Musk yesterday, so I haven't checked today, but
you just did a Google search to try to read
more about this. And this is what you just heard
jd Vance talk about because he's from Cincinnati and this
is from his hometown. And Bernie Marino, newly elected senator
from Ohio, shared this video. Over the weekend. Elon Musk
asked this question, I zero stories. End wokeness on Twitter
(23:03):
posted zero ap news stories about the attack. Zero Fox
news stories about the attack. I have seen one Fox
News story this morning, so that has changed at least
zero PBS news stories about the attack. Zero New York
Time news stories about the attack. Zero NPR news stories
about the attack. Zero ABC, zero NBC, zero CNN. Basically,
(23:26):
it's as if it hasn't happened. And what Jade Vance
particularly reference there is what you referenced as well, this
woman just getting laid out. And I would point out
that this is all on video, so there is a
certain but there's a certain cultural decision that's being made
(23:48):
when you see someone who is innocent getting beaten up
and your first thought is, hey, I'm going to get
my phone out and record it. I don't know how
many of these people recording are men, but if you're
a man and you see a woman get punched, your
thoughts should not be, oh, I want to make sure.
Speaker 2 (24:08):
I get this on video.
Speaker 1 (24:09):
Well, that happened at the end, right, that happened at
the end. I just want to point out that there's
a guy who's on the ground, who's on the concrete,
who's being stomped by while people are videoing it. While
people are video Yeah, but by four or five different
people running up stomping him as he's defenseless on the ground.
You can kill somebody doing that. And then anybody who
(24:30):
says only though you can't doesn't know what the hell
they're talking about. You can actually kill somebody by stomping
them when they're on the ground on concrete. It is
not that hard for them to get a brain hemorrhage
and to die, right. It's just a horrific thing to do.
Speaker 3 (24:45):
Here on how common this has become for and look,
I understand if it's like a twelve or thirteen year
old somewhat, but for society, for people just to stand
around while someone is potentially getting murdered in front of you,
and your first Oh, I'm gonna make sure I get
this for the GRAM, like I'm gonna make sure I
get this for TikTok. What is the culture that we
(25:07):
have created where somebody's on the ground getting stomped on
and a huge percentage of the American public's first thought is, oh,
let me make sure I get a good video of this,
not let me stop the fight from happening, Not let
me stop the person on the ground from potentially being murdered.
In cold blood right in front of you. But hey,
I want to take this video so I can make
(25:29):
sure that it goes viral. I just I don't get it,
and particularly if you're a man and your first thought
as you see a woman getting beaten up by a
man is let me make sure that I get this
on video. I look, sometimes maybe people are thinking, hey,
this is a crime, let me make sure that I'm
getting some video of that crime occurring and being very lenient.
(25:53):
Maybe sometimes, but it doesn't based on the sound and
the the laughter and everything else, it doesn't seem like
people are thinking, hey, I to make sure I preserve
some form of evidence of this violent act.
Speaker 1 (26:04):
The media is, broadly speaking completely Like I said, I'm
interested in the story. The first I did a Google search,
just a straight up Google search on this, and the
first news coverage that came up is the Hindu stand Times.
Speaker 2 (26:19):
Okay, that's weird they covered this story. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (26:22):
I don't know what kind of reportage the Hindu stan
Times is generally known for, but I wouldn't think it
will be the top of my Google search results, but
it was. There's some local coverage of this, like local
TV news. But you know, if it bleeds, it leads
local news. They still generally adhere to that maxim And
and then there's the other part of this play, which
(26:43):
is anybody and I'm sure we could have some some
district attorneys or for former Ada's call in and tell
us the same thing. Nobody involved in this is going
to get any really serious punishment. I appreciate the jade vance.
The Vice president says that he hopes they're punished to the
fullest extent of the law.
Speaker 2 (26:58):
I can tell you they won't be.
Speaker 1 (27:00):
I can tell you that from friends of mine who
have worked for the New York District Attorney's office. There
is a sense that, you know, violence unless somebody is
killed or paralyzed, or there's something really horrific that is
the outcome of it. Like that, there's a hesitancy to
punish violent acts as severely as they can be punished
(27:21):
because there's a disproportionate amount of violence from some communities,
and they don't want to run.
Speaker 2 (27:27):
They don't want to deal with those statistics.
Speaker 1 (27:29):
They don't want to say, well, we already have a
quote unquote mass incarceration problem in certain low income communities.
We don't want to make that situation even worse by
punishing violence more severely. They should punish violence more severely, though,
This should be the top of the list of what
district attorneys go after and say you can't do this.
Speaker 3 (27:49):
The mayor of Cincinnati has finally issued a statement eleven
minutes ago.
Speaker 2 (27:54):
This came down.
Speaker 3 (27:55):
He had prior to now not said anything, so I
suspect that jd Vance addressing this viral video likely motivated
the mayor to put out a statement again. This came
from his Twitter account just eleven minutes ago. I'm outraged
by the vicious fight that occurred downtown. Let me start
with this, calling that a fight is not what I
(28:16):
saw right. That was a melee of a It was
a mom assault.
Speaker 1 (28:20):
It was It was a ten on one beatdown of
somebody who was very clearly defenseless after the first shoved
to the ground.
Speaker 3 (28:28):
A fight is like one guy and another guy throwing
punches at each other. We all know what fights were
if you watch this video. This was not a fight.
It was a mob beating the crap out of one person.
It's horrifying to watch the mayor continues of Cincinnati. Unacceptable
and disgusting behavior, intolerable in any part of our community.
That's not who we are as the city. Since the
(28:49):
fight occurred, I've been in consistent communication with the Chief.
Our police have been working around the clock to investigate
and bring perpetrators of violence to justice. Based on the event,
instigation and the urgent work of our police, I'm confident
arrests are forthcoming. For that reason, we're making every effort
to allow our officers to do their jobs and present
(29:10):
formal results to the public rather than engaging with early speculation.
And then that is the statement. So this statement has
just been put out in the last eleven minutes, but
this has gone megaviral.
Speaker 2 (29:22):
It will be we all know. Look, here's the reality.
Speaker 3 (29:26):
If if this had been a black couple that was
beaten by a white mob, it would be the number
one story in America. It would be everyone saying, oh
my goodness, every it would be leading every newscast. It
would be a sign of white supremacy sweeping through our nation.
But white couple gets the crap eating out of them
(29:48):
by a black bob by the.
Speaker 1 (29:49):
Numbers, by the way, a Jada, that scenario you described
by the numbers would be incredibly rare. But the media happens,
would would not treat it as incredibly rare. They would
go the opposite to actually and act like, this is
the same thing with police violence. You know, if it's
against a if it's against the black guy, we're told
this happens all the time. It's actually incredibly rare, you know,
excessive police violence. The same thing would be here if
(30:12):
you had a white mob beating up a black guy,
we would be told this is the this is the
like the new face of America, this is what's happening
all the time. They would exaggerate it in the in
the direction of lies, per uh. And so we will
see what more comes out of that. Maybe some of
you in Cincinnati. We have at times the number one
(30:33):
radio show in Cincinnati, in Columbus and in Cleveland. We
appreciate all of you all over Ohio listening, but some
of you may know more about this or the investigation
in the Cincinnati area. You're welcome to call in. And
I also just think that there should be I don't
know if there are, Clay, I think that there should
be laws that specifically target or specifically punish if you
(30:53):
are if you are part of a group that's kicking
somebody who is on the ground. You know, if you
punch somebody in the face, that's one thing. If you
break a beer bottle on a table and stab somebody
in the neck, it's another. Like we do this with violence.
If you are stomping somebody who is on the ground,
you should get serious prison time, not I plead down
(31:15):
to some misdemeanor.
Speaker 2 (31:17):
And you know I will.
Speaker 1 (31:18):
How many of these individuals you think are stomping this
guy on the ground will be their first brush with
the law. By the way, take a guess, right, I mean,
we'll see. But it should be a very clear thing.
A society with honor would punish people for doing this,
whatever their skin color, whatever their background, all punished severely.
Speaker 3 (31:35):
Yeah, mob violence, I think again, there is no self
defense for mob violence, right. I think a lot of
people out there have seen two guys get in a fight.
Not ideal, obviously, we want less violence in the country.
But you could understand a face to face fight, most
people can in a lot of different context, much more
(31:56):
so than to your point, guys rolling around on the ground,
all he knocked down by the mob, and then you
just have a bunch of dudes.
Speaker 2 (32:03):
Running up and stomping on him. I agree with you.
Speaker 3 (32:06):
I think the prosecution should be intense, significant and to
your point earlier, we have to spend way more time
still focusing on violent crime, driving it down, putting those
people behind bars, compared to, let's be honest, a lot
of unintentional non violent crime that I think oftentimes we
(32:27):
throw the book at more significantly than we should. Violent
crime should be the focus of everybody. Look, if you're
looking for another source of energy out there, maybe it's Monday.

What was your favorite How would you assess New York City?
You hadn't been back to New York City in a while.
We know what they have the big Mayor race coming up.
You were up there. First of all, your son was
an angel on the flight, so you still have not
had to deal with the screaming baby on an airplane yet.
Speaker 1 (34:13):
This is gonna make me unpopular with some people because
for years I was the grumpy person who said, Hey,
don't bring your crying baby to dinner. Don't bring like
a screaming baby, to a place where people are trying
to relax, and they said, just wait till you have
your child. Oh, now I do, and guess what he
behaves or if he's fussy, I or Carrie will take
(34:36):
him and remove him to a place where he's not
particularly in restaurants.
Speaker 2 (34:39):
I've been he just wait till you had a kid.
Speaker 1 (34:42):
No, I actually do not let my baby ruin everyone
else's dinner, believe it or not. I don't know who
these people are who thought that I was going to
learn some tough life lesson. Everyone just came over and
talked about how cute the baby was and how they
didn't even know he was on the plane because he
just slept on my lap like the little angel he is.
Speaker 2 (35:01):
I'm sorry, folks, just facts. You know, people could get mad.
Speaker 3 (35:03):
At some point. I'm gonna be on the record here.
You're gonna have a hellish travel experience and you are
going to pay penance for all of your past judgments
of parents on airplane flights.
Speaker 1 (35:17):
People are you know, they're they're talking a big game
with this so far, I'm now walking the walk and
talking to talk and you could keep your kids in line.
Speaker 3 (35:26):
I'm just saying you can keep your kids in line.
Everybody peer in New Jersey. All three of my kids,
by the way, as infants, threw up on me on airplane.
Speaker 2 (35:37):
Guys, which was a heck of an experience. Yeah, hey, Peter,
what you got for us?
Speaker 6 (35:42):
Listen first, First aside, I still have rush as the
contact on this number. Put that to the side. Go
into your situation with that mob and everything. You know,
the media and the government has caused this problem because
if I, as a citizen, jump in, well, guess what
the media is gonna be against me. The Government's gonna
(36:02):
arrest me and and I'm gonna have to expound all
kinds of money and litigation and everything else to protect
myself because I tried to help somebody.
Speaker 3 (36:12):
I understand that reticence. I think if you're a man
and you see someone beating up a woman, your natural
masculinity should be like, hey, maybe I'm gonna put down
my phone and try to stop the woman from getting punched.
Speaker 1 (36:29):
I would say, in that situation, they'll clay she got
sucker punched. Ye, it was one and done, and it
was some were.
Speaker 3 (36:35):
Still recording it like there weren't people rushing to her, aid,
I guess I just mean that guy was getting stomped
to smithereens and no one did anything.
Speaker 2 (36:43):
Yeah,
Welcome in everybody to the Monday edition of The Clay
Travis and Buck Sexton Show. Play held down the Fort
no Keg parties. I'm told probably well behaved, everything very good.
While I was gone play thank you for doing that.
And I was in New York City my dad's seventy
eighth birthday. There might have even been play a singing
(00:24):
Trump card involved for his birthday, not actual.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
Trump, but it was pretty fun. Yes, like I've heard
it's your birthday. I've heard it's your birthday.
Speaker 1 (00:32):
Anyway, So we had a good time up in New
York City, and you know what, I still love I
love New York.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
I'm not gonna wear one of.
Speaker 1 (00:38):
The T shirts because I'm not a tourist ever there,
even though I don't live there anymore.
Speaker 2 (00:43):
But I do love NYC.
Speaker 1 (00:44):
And I think it's they're gonna fight back on this
mom Donnie madness. We'll dive into all of that, but yeah,
it was very nice to spend some time with the family.
Little baby Speed got baptized.
Speaker 2 (00:56):
Which is very important, very important.
Speaker 1 (00:58):
We were the lovely Catholic church there with the family baptized,
so I appreciated the ability to do that. Over the weekend,
bring him into the church and Clay, we got a
lot of news. The big thing actually all morning I
was watching the real time press conference, the live press
conference going on with Kerr Starmer, the UK Prime Minister
(01:19):
and Donald Trump, where they were announcing a UK US
deal on trade, big trade deal, legitimately huge. And then
also the EU has announced a huge trade and I
remember the EU was actually the largest economy in the world.
Now it's not a country, so we are still the
(01:40):
number one country, but if you add all the EU together,
it's the largest economy in the world. And so it's
meaningful to say the least that these deals went through.
And Clay, before we get into the we have to
get into the Trump was right, and we said, guys,
give it time, give it time that you go back.
Speaker 2 (01:58):
You listen.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
The great thing about this radio shows if you ever
were curious, when do the market tank, Clay, when we're.
Speaker 3 (02:04):
April April, it was in the absolute tank. Everybody was saying, hey,
the economy's in trouble, recessions coming. Your four to oh
one k's are worthless. Trump has no idea what he's doing,
and we said, hold your stocks. If you happen to
have additional money. Now is the time probably to put
(02:25):
more money in buy and hold long term. And as
we are speaking to all of you this Monday, another
all time high in the s and P five hundred
in the Dow. If you just never checked your four
to oh one k year starts and you're like, hey,
I'm only going to check it halfway through, you're up
big on the year. If you bought in April, you're
(02:46):
up nearly thirty percent from where those lows were when
all the so called experts were telling you that the
world was falling apart.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
So it is a huge victory laugh moment for Trump
because we said at the time, and this was a
moment where the so called consensus was very much going
against Trump, right the economists, the CNBC watchers, and the
CNBC hosts, that that whole crew was, well, we all
know the trade deal, that this is going to lead
(03:15):
to trade wars and higher prices, and the stock market's
going to tank and it can lead to a recession.
And to be fair, and this is why I said,
you can go back and listen, we said, we do
not know that actually that Donald Trump has earned the
right to have the trust of the American people on
the economy and on negotiating trade, I think more than
really anything else. Maybe immigration too, but on the economy
(03:38):
and trade, he knows more than the people criticizing him.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
He truly does.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
He understands these dynamics better than the people out there,
you know, the peanut gallery, the cheap seats, you know,
saying oh, he's going to ruin everything. We have huge
trade deals announced. Here's just a little overview of some
of this. Okay, this was you had Trump yesterday in Scotland, Turnberry, apparently.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
A lovely golf course.
Speaker 1 (04:03):
Here was Trump in Scotland talking about how look at
where the American economy is. Look at all this enthusiasm
and play this has cut seven play it every leader.
Speaker 4 (04:15):
When I went to NATO the other day, every leader said,
you have the hottest country in the world. We have
the hottest country in the world, and we're taking in
hundreds of billions of dollars. We have the highest stock
market we've ever had, we have the best numbers we've
ever had. But we have hundreds of billions of dollars
pouring into our country. And I think it's the hottest.
And by the way, one year ago our country was dead.
(04:37):
We had a dead country because of an incompetent president
and incompetent democrats. All they know how to do is
talk and think about conspiracy theories and nonsense. If they'd
waste their time talking about America being great again, it
would be so much nicer, so much easier play.
Speaker 1 (04:54):
A big part of this, too is people looking at
these negotiations, these trade not now these deals right, negotiat
have come to a conclusion it's a great deal for America.
They can't get around this that this has improved the
economic landscape for the American people. And this is in
so many ways the manifestation of an America first trade
(05:16):
policy as in advantaging this country.
Speaker 3 (05:19):
Finally, what Trump is a master of is leverage. It's
the number one thing that he recognizes. If he gets
an inch on you, he will turn it into a mile.
And his thought and this is one of the things
that you can go back and watch Trump talking about
this for generations if you so desire, even on Oprah,
(05:40):
what he understands is this market is the most valuable
market to have access to in the world. And his
perspective on that is there should be a cost that
we extract from other countries to be able to access
the richest market of consumers in the world. Everybody said,
(06:00):
this is unbelievable. There's no way this is going to work.
We had a balanced budget last month that nobody's talking about.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
Now.
Speaker 3 (06:07):
I understand that it can be somewhat of a calendar quirk,
and look, we've got to get better and better. But
there's almost zero doubt that we are going to have
hundreds of billions of dollars in terras. And what Trump
has said so far has been true. The American consumer
is not fronting those costs. It is being eaten largely
(06:29):
by manufacturers and other countries that have cut back prices
to try to remain competitive. Now, we still have a
deal to do with China, but as we near August,
first Liberation Day was in early April. If I recall correctly,
and if you just didn't look at your stocks and
now you suddenly decide, hey, it's getting close to August.
(06:52):
Maybe I'll go look at my four to h one K.
Maybe I'll go look at the index funds that I hold.
You've got record money, and I think people are feeling
that you are not seeing skyrocketing inflation, inflation remains low
and in general wage growth, which is really the I
would argue the most important single stat is is wage
(07:16):
growth outgrowing cost of goods. If you had to synthesize
what makes you feel like you're doing better in general,
it is when your income as a worker is growing
faster than the cost of the goods that you purchase
with your income. And we have a situation where Trump
has reversed the downturn of Biden, and your incomes are
(07:37):
growing faster than the things that you have to buy now,
I think this is important. The prices are never going
to come back down, and this is the toxicity of inflation.
By and large, we never hit negative inflation. There are
all sorts of negative connotations economically that would occur. So
the pernicious, awful, dastardly part of inflation is it does
(08:01):
not ever go back. You're wanting to buy a hamburger
for three dollars instead of five, it's never going to
get returned to the three dollars. All you can do
is slow the rate of growth, which is why I
always compare it to putting on weight. If you're continuing
to put on weight sooner or later the fact that
you're putting on weight at a lower rate does not
(08:22):
mean you're not going to be fat. And so all
of those are major issues that unfortunately are going to
stay with us from the Biden regime. But Trump, Look,
he ran on a economy, border crime, and six months
in buck I can't remember a president who has more
delivered on the things he said he would deliver on
(08:42):
than Trump. In the first six months has everything that
he ran on. Economy, border crime is infinitely better than
it was under Biden.
Speaker 1 (08:51):
And we're not even doing the comparison you could do,
which is imagine I Kamala Harris was president, right, Well, yeah,
none of this and you know that would be the
thing that most people would go to. If Trump had
underperformed a little bit the first six months, ran into
some stumbles or whatever, you could always do the well,
at least it's not Kammala in this case. It's like
(09:12):
comparing the top student in the class to the worst
student in the class. Right, I mean, the difference is
night and day between the administration that you are getting
right now and what could have been and what forty
eight percent forty nine percent, No, it was more than that.
Forty nine percent of the American people voted for in
this last election, which is insane, which is to have
(09:33):
Kamala Harris in charge of this economy, none of these
trade deals would have gotten done Trump. This is just
one of these moments where remember we said we learned
a lesson from the first term, which was everyone quote
unquote everyone said Trump is wrong on China. He's wrong
to take the approach you to China. And not only
(09:55):
was it correct in the implementation, it was so correct
that Biden didn't change it because they knew that it
would cause problems, it would be bad, right, So he
was right on China when everyone said he was going
to be wrong.
Speaker 2 (10:06):
Play.
Speaker 1 (10:06):
I think what we're seeing again is Trump will be
right on trade negotiations when quote unquote everyone said that
he would be wrong. Here he is on the trade
deal with the EU. We didn't even talk about this
in specifics. Yeah, this is cut eight play it.
Speaker 4 (10:21):
This started months ago, this negotiation, so we knew pretty
much what we were getting into, and we were able
to make a deal that's very satisfactory to both sides.
Speaker 2 (10:31):
So it's.
Speaker 4 (10:33):
Tremendously it's a very powerful deal. It's a very big deal.
It's the biggest of all the deals. It will be
the biggest of all the deals. So we're very honored
to have done so.
Speaker 1 (10:43):
And it's a huge deal with the EU, as I said,
the largest actual economic zone on the planet because it's
all those countries put together. And now clay American producers
will be operating on a more level playing field with
trade partners like the EU. There's hundreds of billions of
dollars of investment that's agreed to from the EU. Here
(11:06):
there's a lot of US energy that's going to be bought.
Additional energy is going to be bought by the EU. Now,
I mean this is it's so good that they can't
even come up the Trump haters can't even come up
with a way to tell you it's bad. I think
that tells you everything. Yeah, look, I think they're running scared.
I mean I talked about this a little bit over
(11:26):
the weekend. I think Trump has been proven right on
the Epstein stuff, which I know people are still somewhat
fired up about. But Democrats, and I think there's audio
of Trump talking about this, but Democrats had these Epstein
files for four years. They're losing on the economy they're
losing on border, they're losing on crime. So now they're
trying to say, oh, Trump's to blame for Epstein, and
(11:48):
my thing on that would be, well, you had the
files for four years under Joe Biden, why did you
not release everything? Why did you not bring all the charges.
Speaker 3 (11:57):
We'll see what's going to end up happening there, But
I do think it's worth you all thinking about this.
They've pivoted from economy, border crime attacks to hey, all
we can really hit Trump on is Epstein, And that
is I think a sign, honestly of how well he's
doing on all the major big issues the EBC, economy,
(12:18):
border crime that he ran on in the first six months,
that they're not even really coming after him. I think
they've recognized buck that going after Trump on hey, he's
deporting too many people is actually harming them.
Speaker 2 (12:30):
You know.
Speaker 3 (12:31):
The Wall Street Journal had an incredible that graphic over
the weekend. Maybe we can talk about this a little bit.
Democrats have hit a thirty five year low in popularity.
That's pretty extraordinary and the lowest level of popularity that
has ever existed. Because they are picking a lot of
things to attack Trump on that the vast majority of
(12:52):
the American public agrees with him.
Speaker 1 (12:54):
On it is a good day everybody. Trump is taking
a much deserved victory lap, and just look at what's
going on with the economy all around you. I know
that sometimes good is less interesting or grabs the attention
less than catastrophe, especially in the news business.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
But there will be challenges ahead. Trust me.
Speaker 1 (13:16):
Take take it in that things are going well right now.
One of the challenges Trump talked about was really no
progress with Russia at all, so we can talk more
about that. Trump is ticked off at Putin. I could
tell you from watching that interview this morning and previous
statements he's made, So that's something that's going to get
more attention now. And I think Trump has the wind
at his back. I think Putin is underestimating the kind
(13:39):
of pain that Trump is willing to inflict economically on
Russia to bring this thing to a conclusion. So we
can talk about that as well. But on trade, Trump
is not tired of winning. President Trump is right on
the money, that's for sure, and it's just evidence of
how hard he's working to make the economy roar. Now
that's fantastic, but you have to take individual action.
Speaker 2 (14:01):
For yourself, for your future.
Speaker 1 (14:03):
It's not about where things are going to be tomorrow,
it's where things are going to be in five years,
ten years, twenty years. Look at the price of gold
over the last year. Look at the price of gold
over the last decade. You will be astonished when you
see how much it has gone up over the last
ten years. Gold, my friends, increases in value over time.
We got all these governments all over the world that
are buying up gold too because they're printing money. So
(14:25):
even with Trump riding the ship, there's a really strong
case to add some gold reserves into your portfolio. It's
what I have. I recommend you do the same. And
for any of you who have an old Ira or
four oh one k, Birch Gold Group can help you
get a tax sheltered four oh one k or Ira
in physical gold.
Speaker 2 (14:47):
All right.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
They can help you transfer your old Ira or four
one k into a physical gold irray or four o
one k makes so much sense, and it's a great

violent mob, I'm fortunately in Cincinnati attacking innocent white people.
(16:49):
And the Vice President of the United States has weighed

big deal. Roy Cooper, very popular governor in North Carolina,

Speaker 2 (18:53):
Welcome back into Clayan Fuck.
Speaker 1 (18:55):
So we had Trump talking about the big trade deals,
truly momentous, and we've also got JD Vance who was
in Ohio and he's speaking there. Jd covering a whole
range of topics. But one thing that I think might
have stuck out to people a bit is in the
(19:15):
course of talking about the usual things that the vice
president would speak about.
Speaker 2 (19:20):
I remember JD.
Speaker 1 (19:21):
Vance a guy who grew up in the Heartland under
rough circumstances, and if you've read Hillbilly lg his best
selling memoir, you certainly know the challenges that he faced.
But as he was in Ohio, he addressed something that
you may have seen some viral video of over the weekend.
(19:43):
And assault a gang assault really, or an assault by
a gang of people, I should say, a whole group
of people at a jazz festival. And here is how
it went. Here's JD Vance talking about a play.
Speaker 5 (19:58):
I saw as a mob of lawless thugs beating up
on an innocent person. And it's disgusting, and I hope
every single one of those people who engage in violences
prosecuted to the full extent of the law.
Speaker 2 (20:07):
And they will be.
Speaker 5 (20:08):
They will be so long as law enforcement in the
state of Ohio takes their job seriously. I know Dave
Yos cares a lot about these things, but yeah, I
actually you're right. Bertie did send me a clip of
this and we talked a little bit about it. I
don't know the full context. I don't know how the
fight started, but the one part that I saw that
was really gruesome is you had a grown man who
(20:30):
sucker punched a middle aged woman. And where I come from,
at least when you have a grown man whose sucker
punch is a middle aged woman, that person ought to
go to jail for a very long time. And frankly,
he's lucky there weren't some better people around.
Speaker 2 (20:42):
Because they would have handled it themselves. But if they're
gonna not.
Speaker 5 (20:45):
Gonna handle it, the cops in Cincinnati, the law enforcement.
Speaker 1 (20:48):
You've got to prosecute people. Clay, I totally agree with JD.
Sentimen here just a couple of quick thoughts on this.
First off, as we were about to pull this up.
I just wanted the latest details. I couldn't go to
the New York Times for Yeah, I couldn't go to
the Washington Post for this is a viral video, millions
and millions of views over the weekend. And in the
video you see to a white man and a white
(21:10):
woman surrounded by people who are black, attack them, are
kicking them on the ground, kicking the guy on the ground,
and then a woman comes over it toward the end.
I believe it's is his wife or his girlfriend. That's
the part I was trying to get the details on.
And some other a guy again, a black male punches
(21:30):
this woman in the face out of nowhere, knocks her
out coal. I mean, looks like she could have had
You know, you can fall down from a punch in
the face like that.
Speaker 2 (21:37):
This has happened.
Speaker 1 (21:38):
This isn't just theoretical and slip into a coma and
die from hitting your head on the concrete. You know,
this is these kinds of violent assaults. Our society has
to be a little more clear about a few things,
Clay when it comes to the criminal justice. I know
that people want to treat like Wall Street insider trading
like you know you should go to prison for the
(21:58):
rest of your life, you know, because that But actually
violence should be the thing that is violence, sexual violence,
these are the things that should be the most severely
punished by law, and I think that the law should
be changed. I don't know what they are individual states necessarily,
I don't know what it is in Ohio, but if
you are stomping somebody who is defenseless on the ground
(22:19):
as part of a gang, there should be serious enhancements
that send you to prison for a long time for that,
because there's no excuse and no rationale for that that
could be accepted. And then the guy who punched the
woman in the face, I mean, it was gruesome. And
the media is completely disinterested in this or uninterested in
this story.
Speaker 3 (22:39):
Yeah, Elon Musk yesterday, so I haven't checked today, but
you just did a Google search to try to read
more about this. And this is what you just heard
jd Vance talk about because he's from Cincinnati and this
is from his hometown. And Bernie Marino, newly elected senator
from Ohio, shared this video. Over the weekend. Elon Musk
asked this question, I zero stories. End wokeness on Twitter
(23:03):
posted zero ap news stories about the attack. Zero Fox
news stories about the attack. I have seen one Fox
News story this morning, so that has changed at least
zero PBS news stories about the attack. Zero New York
Time news stories about the attack. Zero NPR news stories
about the attack. Zero ABC, zero NBC, zero CNN. Basically,
(23:26):
it's as if it hasn't happened. And what Jade Vance
particularly reference there is what you referenced as well, this
woman just getting laid out. And I would point out
that this is all on video, so there is a
certain but there's a certain cultural decision that's being made
(23:48):
when you see someone who is innocent getting beaten up
and your first thought is, hey, I'm going to get
my phone out and record it. I don't know how
many of these people recording are men, but if you're
a man and you see a woman get punched, your
thoughts should not be, oh, I want to make sure.
Speaker 2 (24:08):
I get this on video.
Speaker 1 (24:09):
Well, that happened at the end, right, that happened at
the end. I just want to point out that there's
a guy who's on the ground, who's on the concrete,
who's being stomped by while people are videoing it. While
people are video Yeah, but by four or five different
people running up stomping him as he's defenseless on the ground.
You can kill somebody doing that. And then anybody who
(24:30):
says only though you can't doesn't know what the hell
they're talking about. You can actually kill somebody by stomping
them when they're on the ground on concrete. It is
not that hard for them to get a brain hemorrhage
and to die, right. It's just a horrific thing to do.
Speaker 3 (24:45):
Here on how common this has become for and look,
I understand if it's like a twelve or thirteen year
old somewhat, but for society, for people just to stand
around while someone is potentially getting murdered in front of you,
and your first Oh, I'm gonna make sure I get
this for the GRAM, like I'm gonna make sure I
get this for TikTok. What is the culture that we
(25:07):
have created where somebody's on the ground getting stomped on
and a huge percentage of the American public's first thought is, oh,
let me make sure I get a good video of this,
not let me stop the fight from happening, Not let
me stop the person on the ground from potentially being murdered.
In cold blood right in front of you. But hey,
I want to take this video so I can make
(25:29):
sure that it goes viral. I just I don't get it,
and particularly if you're a man and your first thought
as you see a woman getting beaten up by a
man is let me make sure that I get this
on video. I look, sometimes maybe people are thinking, hey,
this is a crime, let me make sure that I'm
getting some video of that crime occurring and being very lenient.
(25:53):
Maybe sometimes, but it doesn't based on the sound and
the the laughter and everything else, it doesn't seem like
people are thinking, hey, I to make sure I preserve
some form of evidence of this violent act.
Speaker 1 (26:04):
The media is, broadly speaking completely Like I said, I'm
interested in the story. The first I did a Google search,
just a straight up Google search on this, and the
first news coverage that came up is the Hindu stand Times.
Speaker 2 (26:19):
Okay, that's weird they covered this story. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (26:22):
I don't know what kind of reportage the Hindu stan
Times is generally known for, but I wouldn't think it
will be the top of my Google search results, but
it was. There's some local coverage of this, like local
TV news. But you know, if it bleeds, it leads
local news. They still generally adhere to that maxim And
and then there's the other part of this play, which
(26:43):
is anybody and I'm sure we could have some some
district attorneys or for former Ada's call in and tell
us the same thing. Nobody involved in this is going
to get any really serious punishment. I appreciate the jade vance.
The Vice president says that he hopes they're punished to the
fullest extent of the law.
Speaker 2 (26:58):
I can tell you they won't be.
Speaker 1 (27:00):
I can tell you that from friends of mine who
have worked for the New York District Attorney's office. There
is a sense that, you know, violence unless somebody is
killed or paralyzed, or there's something really horrific that is
the outcome of it. Like that, there's a hesitancy to
punish violent acts as severely as they can be punished
(27:21):
because there's a disproportionate amount of violence from some communities,
and they don't want to run.
Speaker 2 (27:27):
They don't want to deal with those statistics.
Speaker 1 (27:29):
They don't want to say, well, we already have a
quote unquote mass incarceration problem in certain low income communities.
We don't want to make that situation even worse by
punishing violence more severely. They should punish violence more severely, though,
This should be the top of the list of what
district attorneys go after and say you can't do this.
Speaker 3 (27:49):
The mayor of Cincinnati has finally issued a statement eleven
minutes ago.
Speaker 2 (27:54):
This came down.
Speaker 3 (27:55):
He had prior to now not said anything, so I
suspect that jd Vance addressing this viral video likely motivated
the mayor to put out a statement again. This came
from his Twitter account just eleven minutes ago. I'm outraged
by the vicious fight that occurred downtown. Let me start
with this, calling that a fight is not what I
(28:16):
saw right. That was a melee of a It was
a mom assault.
Speaker 1 (28:20):
It was It was a ten on one beatdown of
somebody who was very clearly defenseless after the first shoved
to the ground.
Speaker 3 (28:28):
A fight is like one guy and another guy throwing
punches at each other. We all know what fights were
if you watch this video. This was not a fight.
It was a mob beating the crap out of one person.
It's horrifying to watch the mayor continues of Cincinnati. Unacceptable
and disgusting behavior, intolerable in any part of our community.
That's not who we are as the city. Since the
(28:49):
fight occurred, I've been in consistent communication with the Chief.
Our police have been working around the clock to investigate
and bring perpetrators of violence to justice. Based on the event,
instigation and the urgent work of our police, I'm confident
arrests are forthcoming. For that reason, we're making every effort
to allow our officers to do their jobs and present
(29:10):
formal results to the public rather than engaging with early speculation.
And then that is the statement. So this statement has
just been put out in the last eleven minutes, but
this has gone megaviral.
Speaker 2 (29:22):
It will be we all know. Look, here's the reality.
Speaker 3 (29:26):
If if this had been a black couple that was
beaten by a white mob, it would be the number
one story in America. It would be everyone saying, oh
my goodness, every it would be leading every newscast. It
would be a sign of white supremacy sweeping through our nation.
But white couple gets the crap eating out of them
(29:48):
by a black bob by the.
Speaker 1 (29:49):
Numbers, by the way, a Jada, that scenario you described
by the numbers would be incredibly rare. But the media happens,
would would not treat it as incredibly rare. They would
go the opposite to actually and act like, this is
the same thing with police violence. You know, if it's
against a if it's against the black guy, we're told
this happens all the time. It's actually incredibly rare, you know,
excessive police violence. The same thing would be here if
(30:12):
you had a white mob beating up a black guy,
we would be told this is the this is the
like the new face of America, this is what's happening
all the time. They would exaggerate it in the in
the direction of lies, per uh. And so we will
see what more comes out of that. Maybe some of
you in Cincinnati. We have at times the number one
(30:33):
radio show in Cincinnati, in Columbus and in Cleveland. We
appreciate all of you all over Ohio listening, but some
of you may know more about this or the investigation
in the Cincinnati area. You're welcome to call in. And
I also just think that there should be I don't
know if there are, Clay, I think that there should
be laws that specifically target or specifically punish if you
(30:53):
are if you are part of a group that's kicking
somebody who is on the ground. You know, if you
punch somebody in the face, that's one thing. If you
break a beer bottle on a table and stab somebody
in the neck, it's another. Like we do this with violence.
If you are stomping somebody who is on the ground,
you should get serious prison time, not I plead down
(31:15):
to some misdemeanor.
Speaker 2 (31:17):
And you know I will.
Speaker 1 (31:18):
How many of these individuals you think are stomping this
guy on the ground will be their first brush with
the law. By the way, take a guess, right, I mean,
we'll see. But it should be a very clear thing.
A society with honor would punish people for doing this,
whatever their skin color, whatever their background, all punished severely.
Speaker 3 (31:35):
Yeah, mob violence, I think again, there is no self
defense for mob violence, right. I think a lot of
people out there have seen two guys get in a fight.
Not ideal, obviously, we want less violence in the country.
But you could understand a face to face fight, most
people can in a lot of different context, much more
(31:56):
so than to your point, guys rolling around on the ground,
all he knocked down by the mob, and then you
just have a bunch of dudes.
Speaker 2 (32:03):
Running up and stomping on him. I agree with you.
Speaker 3 (32:06):
I think the prosecution should be intense, significant and to
your point earlier, we have to spend way more time
still focusing on violent crime, driving it down, putting those
people behind bars, compared to, let's be honest, a lot
of unintentional non violent crime that I think oftentimes we
(32:27):
throw the book at more significantly than we should. Violent
crime should be the focus of everybody. Look, if you're
looking for another source of energy out there, maybe it's Monday.
You had a big weekend, summer's going on. You were

What was your favorite How would you assess New York City?
You hadn't been back to New York City in a while.
We know what they have the big Mayor race coming up.
You were up there. First of all, your son was
an angel on the flight, so you still have not
had to deal with the screaming baby on an airplane yet.
Speaker 1 (34:13):
This is gonna make me unpopular with some people because
for years I was the grumpy person who said, Hey,
don't bring your crying baby to dinner. Don't bring like
a screaming baby, to a place where people are trying
to relax, and they said, just wait till you have
your child. Oh, now I do, and guess what he
behaves or if he's fussy, I or Carrie will take
(34:36):
him and remove him to a place where he's not
particularly in restaurants.
Speaker 2 (34:39):
I've been he just wait till you had a kid.
Speaker 1 (34:42):
No, I actually do not let my baby ruin everyone
else's dinner, believe it or not. I don't know who
these people are who thought that I was going to
learn some tough life lesson. Everyone just came over and
talked about how cute the baby was and how they
didn't even know he was on the plane because he
just slept on my lap like the little angel he is.
Speaker 2 (35:01):
I'm sorry, folks, just facts. You know, people could get mad.
Speaker 3 (35:03):
At some point. I'm gonna be on the record here.
You're gonna have a hellish travel experience and you are
going to pay penance for all of your past judgments
of parents on airplane flights.
Speaker 1 (35:17):
People are you know, they're they're talking a big game
with this so far, I'm now walking the walk and
talking to talk and you could keep your kids in line.
Speaker 3 (35:26):
I'm just saying you can keep your kids in line.
Everybody peer in New Jersey. All three of my kids,
by the way, as infants, threw up on me on airplane.
Speaker 2 (35:37):
Guys, which was a heck of an experience. Yeah, hey, Peter,
what you got for us?
Speaker 6 (35:42):
Listen first, First aside, I still have rush as the
contact on this number. Put that to the side. Go
into your situation with that mob and everything. You know,
the media and the government has caused this problem because
if I, as a citizen, jump in, well, guess what
the media is gonna be against me. The Government's gonna
(36:02):
arrest me and and I'm gonna have to expound all
kinds of money and litigation and everything else to protect
myself because I tried to help somebody.
Speaker 3 (36:12):
I understand that reticence. I think if you're a man
and you see someone beating up a woman, your natural
masculinity should be like, hey, maybe I'm gonna put down
my phone and try to stop the woman from getting punched.
Speaker 1 (36:29):
I would say, in that situation, they'll clay she got
sucker punched. Ye, it was one and done, and it
was some were.
Speaker 3 (36:35):
Still recording it like there weren't people rushing to her, aid,
I guess I just mean that guy was getting stomped
to smithereens and no one did anything.
Speaker 2 (36:43):
Yeah,
