Hour 2 centers on the attempted terror attack outside Gracie Mansion, where two ISIS inspired attackers targeted protesters before being stopped by heroic NYPD officers, including one who famously leapt a barricade to tackle a suspect. His name is Chief Aaron Edwards, and he is the assistant chief at patrol Bureau Manhattan North. The hosts detail the attackers’ Islamic extremist motives and explosive device, while sharply criticizing CNN’s coverage for downplaying the terror motive and instead emphasizing Republican reactions to anti Islam protest comments. They also highlight NYPD frustration with New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, noting outrage that he failed to honor the officers who confronted the bombers and instead hosted a protest figure at Gracie Mansion shortly after the attack. The discussion expands into media bias, free speech rights at protests, and political narratives surrounding extremism. The hour shifts to foreign policy as President Donald Trump outlines U.S. military operations that he says destroyed Iran’s Navy, Air Force, radar systems, and mine boats, framing the campaign as proof of overwhelming American military strength. Listeners then spark lighter segments: debates over 9mm vs. .45 ACP, the culture clash of Tesla vs. diesel truck ownership, and humorous riffs on masculinity, technology, and car culture. The hour closes with pop culture commentary on Scream, Fast & Furious, Back to the Future, and nostalgic car stories.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome to today's edition of The Clay Travis and Buck
Sexton Show podcast.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
Second hour of Play and Buck kicks off right now.
Speaker 1 (00:08):
Thanks for being here with us, everybody.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
We're talking about Ron in the first hour, and now
let's turn our attention for a little bit to the
attempted terror attack in New York City.
Speaker 1 (00:21):
Now we've discussed this with you after it happened.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
It was outside of Gracie Mansion, which is the Mayor
of New York City's residence.
Speaker 1 (00:30):
Also holds events there, but it's the mayor's residence.
Speaker 2 (00:33):
I'll never forget when Bloomberg preferred Clay his fifty million
dollars townhouse or whatever it was, so he lived there
and held only events at the That's quite a move
when the official residence of the Mayor of New York
is like, not quite up to your standards, but it's
it's quite a property. It's right on the East River,
(00:53):
and there was a protest there, people saying that they're worried,
and I don't know exactly what they said. They probably
some of them said some things that aren't so nice
about Islam, and they said that they're worried about the
Islamification of New York, et cetera, et cetera. A bunch
of terrorists, wannabes or I guess just terrorists now because
(01:15):
they tried, they're attempted terrorists showed up to throw bombs
at them, to throw a bomb at them. And there
was this fascinating series of events that occurred that we've
seen now many many times over the years, really over
the decades now where somehow, if you are a Democrat
member of the media, you have to take a shockingly
(01:40):
pro Islamic terrorist tone point of view. However, that is
you say that we can never know the real motive
when the guys you're like Allah who lockbart, we can
never know the real motive, right, We aren't really sure
yet what's going on here. If the guy happens to
be of like Middle Eastern or or clearly of Muslim descent,
(02:03):
we got to bury that as long as we can.
If we have to leave out things in the transcript,
like the guy, the terrorist saying that he pledge allegiance
to Isis and he's doing this for Allah, they'll.
Speaker 1 (02:12):
Do that too.
Speaker 2 (02:13):
This is a clear pattern that has been in place
for a long time, and we saw this play out
in this case Clay with the CNN piece that was
you know, it could have been a lovely day.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
It was eighty five degrees.
Speaker 2 (02:27):
When two men traveled over from Pennsylvania and then they
threw a bomb at somebody. It's like, well, hold on
a second, why would you ever frame this incident in
that way as a news report? Like why make it
seem like everything was cool and fine? And then they
just kind of threw a bomb at some guys and
tried to kill them, Like, it's very strange. CNN's Abby
(02:48):
Phillip after this happens, after what I just told you,
and they pulled that tweet down, which is very rare
for CNN to admit we're idiots. We shouldn't have done that.
But it was so dumb, it was so preposterous that
they had to. Then cnn' Zabbey Phillip goes on and
this is now Clay, I saw you point this out.
This is off the teleprompter. Oh yeah, so this was
(03:09):
written by producers who went over this script beforehand, and
then she read it aloud. I want you to listen
closely to how CNN describes this attempted Muslim terrorist attack
in New York City. Outside the Mayor's residence.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
Play two.
Speaker 3 (03:26):
Two Republicans say Muslims don't belong here after an attempted
terror attack against New York's from Mayor zor On Mamdani,
and the House Speaker Mike Johnson says nothing really to
condemn those comments.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
Uh oh, okay, notice what happened here, Clay, an attempted
terror attack against New York City Mayor zor On Mamdani.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
It was an attack against him. It was an attack by.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
Muslims against the guys who say that Muslims have too
many terrorists in their midst, so we should probably rethink
how many of them were bringing into this country. That's
their position, protected by the First Amendment. By the way,
you can dislike it, you can hate it or not,
but it's clearly protected speech at a protest. But also, Clay,
I notice how the real problem isn't the guys who
(04:11):
tried to blow people up, naim them, have ball bearings,
you know, shot into their chests and in their eyes,
blind people, maybe, et cetera.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
That's not the big problem.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
The big problem is the lack of Republican member of
Congress condemnation of the mean words the protesters said yeah,
And I can't believe I'm gonna say this, but I'm
going to defend Abby Phillips here it even if we
play that again, she's reading off a teleprompter and it
(04:42):
seems like she recognizes that it's poorly drafted. And again,
this is being a TV nerd and understanding having hosted
some of these things before. Sometimes you read off the
prompter and you're like, this is not good, you know,
But as you're reading it, it appears that she is
going to tossed to a break. Play this again. I'll
take you into the weeds here. But what I think
(05:04):
a significant buck is whatever the culture is at CNN.
This much like that article that made it out of
through the editorial process and everything else. The errors you make,
and I will say this as a guy who has
run a media company, the errors you make reflect the
culture you create. And everybody's gonna screw up. Everybody's going
(05:28):
to be imperfect. You and I screw up. Sometimes we
don't have teleprompters, so we're not reading anything at any
point in time. I always hold it up. You can watch.
You can look at this on the YouTube channel. I
have a yellow legal pad like I have for most
of my career that I jot down notes on that
I read and run the entire show from And you
(05:50):
have a notepad in front of you, and you got
your computer, but there is no teleprompter. Play that for
us one more time. As she is reading it, you
can start to see she is thinking, Hey, this doesn't
feel right. But she has a commercial break that she's
trying to hit and this is the tease. But again,
the errors that you make reflect the culture that you create.
(06:10):
The culture that CNN has created is there is no
way that left wingers could ever be responsible for anything negative,
and that I think undergirds this error.
Speaker 1 (06:20):
Play it one more time.
Speaker 3 (06:21):
Two Republicans say Muslims don't belong here after an attempted
terror attack against New York's mayors or on Mamdani, and
the House Speaker Mike Johnson says nothing really to condemn
those comments.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
Okay, And I saw an interesting comment and I can't
remember who credited it. But a lot of people believe
that Mom Donnie was the victim of a terror attack
that is intentional. Lots of people on the left who
are not as engaged on stories as you are, believe
that Mam Donnie was the victim of a terror attack.
(06:56):
You can hear Abby Phillips, she recognizes I think that
that is not an accuratees that she is reading, But
somehow that made it through CNN editorial, somehow that I
believe ended up on her teleprompter. And what this is
reflective of is an attempt to obfuscate, to hide, to
keep people unaware of what actually happened here, which is
(07:18):
to Muslim motivated terrorists decided to try to throw IEDs
and kill people who were protesting the number of Muslims
that have been allowed into our country, and brave NYPD
police officers ran towards the bombs and were able to
tackle the guys who were responsible for this.
Speaker 1 (07:39):
And this is.
Speaker 2 (07:42):
James Gogliano, former director of the FBI NYC Division, says,
the rank and file are furious because Mom Donnie has
in no way honored the NYPD officers that actually ran
towards these bombs and caught the bad guys, which again
goes to the intentional cultural hiding of this story in
(08:04):
the way that it's been covered.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
Cut twenty four the.
Speaker 4 (08:06):
Other night, instead of hosting the two star police chief
who leaped over the barricades and ran this guy down
who had thrown the bomb. The Mayor decides that Gracie
Mansion to host mackmood Khalil. I mean, he's senting such
an awful, awful message here to the rank and file.
And remember the mayor when he was a private citizen
(08:28):
who had commented on Twitter then that he saw cop
crying in his car and nature was healing. This is
something that again, the men and women of the NYPD.
Speaker 1 (08:38):
Will do the right thing.
Speaker 4 (08:39):
They're going to enforce the laws, they're going to show
up for work, but they understand that this man on
the screen right now does.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
Not have their back.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
I think that's the key bock. And you're a New
York City born and bred kid. The fact that this
NYPD cop who jumped if you haven't seen the iconic
photo of this cop jumping a barricade to chase down
the guys who had thrown bombs, bombs that at any
moment could have gone off. He ran towards danger, He
arrested and tackled the culprits here, Mam Donnie. To my knowledge,
(09:13):
Buck hasn't said a word in favor of this officer's
bravery and what he actually did. Instead, he brought the
Columbia protester in and gave him a meal and took
pictures of it. Well, you have to remember that Mam
Donnie's base very much is comprised of and includes in
considerable number the kind of people who agree with everything
(09:38):
that those terrorists feel and say.
Speaker 1 (09:41):
But they have to technically draw.
Speaker 2 (09:42):
The line at actual violence because that's against the law
in a way that people notice and get upset about.
So his base is very supportive of the people who
show up and want to silence the anti you know,
we didn't really have a good term for them. They
call them white nationalists. To this I still haven't seen
(10:02):
anything white nationalists. I've only seen anti immigration and anti
Now people.
Speaker 1 (10:09):
Can argue if they think that's white nationalists.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
But there are plenty of people who are concerned about
the massive immigration into this country, particularly legal immigration who
aren't white, including legal immigrants, by the way, huge numbers
of minorities that have legally immigrated to the country, Like
we're good, we have enough. Yeah, we've had enough here
for a little while. So that's not actually a white
(10:31):
nationalist belief per se. They can try to make make
that case but I think that that's made in bad faith.
My point here being that, yeah, Mamdanni, like left wing
radical lunatics are Mamdanni's buddies, so he doesn't want to
upset them. But he does have to say, all right, like,
don't try to blow up the white nationalists quote unquote,
just you know, spit in their faces and do what
(10:53):
ANTIFA usually does. But don't do that because then I
have to let the NYPD tackle some of them and
do the things. I'm going to tell you this right now.
By the way, it's gonna take some time. The sentence
that these guys get is going to be enragingly light
guaranteed in real now, they're gonna they're gonna be punished
(11:16):
because they they know there are limits here to how
crazy the system can be in New York when before
people really start to freak out and leave. But Clay,
I mean, you're gonna see remember the guys who during BLM.
Speaker 1 (11:29):
Wasn't there a guy It was a lawyer.
Speaker 2 (11:30):
Actually, there you go, a lawyer who threw a Molotov
cocktail into a cop car.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
They got slap on the wrist. Yeah I remember that
slap on the wrist.
Speaker 2 (11:41):
Yeah, I remember that story because I think it was
a lawyer at a prominent law firm, and I remember thinking,
how do you find yourself in a situation where you're
lighting a Molotov cocktail as a lawyer on fire and
throwing it into a cop car. Uh, that's how deranged.
Everybody became on the left in particular in twenty twenty,
probably got a tenured professor position waiting for him at
(12:06):
some local, you know, university, local college in New York.
I wouldn't be surprised at all. Look, we had a
blackout the other night. That's why I didn't last me anything.
Most of you were nice in the AMA, some of
you not so nice. Most of you were nice. Blackout
in the building. That was not fun. I was taking
the stairs, the lights were all out. It was a miner,
would only lasted a few hours. But it was a
(12:27):
reminder that stuff can happen. And it was also a
reminder that if I needed to talk to family, even
if you had all the power out here and there
were cell phone disruptions which can happen. I had my
rapid radios ready to go. Rapid radios long range emergency
radios built for blackouts, natural disasters in any unpredictable moments
(12:49):
life throws your way. Rapid radios are small enough to
hold in the palm of your hand, and you can
slip them into your purse or go bag.
Speaker 1 (12:55):
And rapid radios.
Speaker 2 (12:56):
Work on the LTE network, so their ability to instantly
connect with some when while the power's out is a
game changer. They've also got a long battery life up
to five days, and a durability that stands up to
real world emergencies. Staying connected shouldn't depend on luck. It
should depend on the tools you trust. If you want
to protect your family during the next weather emergency, take
ownership of a set of rapid radios.
Speaker 1 (13:16):
Do it now.
Speaker 2 (13:17):
Go to rapid radios dot com, check out the new
rad one, see the full emergency features, and grab the
launch offer while it's still alive. Communication redefined only at
rapid radios dot com.
Speaker 1 (13:36):
Let me hit you with a couple of cuts.
Speaker 2 (13:39):
President Trump was just outside the White House and he
was responding to members of the press as he walked
to the helicopter. President Trump is going to be in
Ohio and Kentucky today, Buck, so he is about to
embark on some early twenty twenty six campaigning. Just fyi
(14:04):
so Ohio and Kentucky. He is probably in the air
en route right now. A reporter asked Trump when he's
going to announce mission accomplished. This is cut twenty five.
Speaker 1 (14:15):
Listen, Well, we've.
Speaker 5 (14:21):
Knocked out that Navy, We've knocked out the Red Force,
We've knocked out all of their anti defense.
Speaker 2 (14:27):
We've taken out.
Speaker 5 (14:29):
Sixty mine boats, fifty mind vote, nobody has ever seen
like we have the greatest military in the world by far,
not even closing sto you know what they've been flicking
forty seven years worth the damage to the world, big pros.
Speaker 2 (14:50):
Couple more buck, he says. We need more of the
same in order for the Iran operation to officially be
over cut twenty six y you.
Speaker 5 (14:59):
Know where doing something that nobody ever thought was possible
to do. Our military is the best, it's the most
powerful in the world, and they're hitting him very hard.
This is forty seven years of abuse and killing, lots
of people, killing and naming lots of people. What is it, Peter,
What board you need to do militarily for this operation
(15:22):
to end? More of the same and we'll see how
that all comes.
Speaker 1 (15:26):
Right now, they are.
Speaker 5 (15:29):
They've lost their navy, they've lost their air force. They
have no anti aircraft apparatus at all, they have no radar,
Their leaders are gone, and we could do a lot worse.
Speaker 1 (15:44):
We're leaving certain.
Speaker 2 (15:45):
Things that if we take them out, or we could take.
Speaker 5 (15:48):
Them out by this afternoon, in fact, within an hour,
they literally would never be able to build that country better.
Speaker 1 (15:56):
All right, one more buck.
Speaker 2 (15:58):
He's saying he thinks oil companies should be using the
straight of horror moves that has helped to inflate the
overall price of oil and gas cut twenty seven.
Speaker 6 (16:09):
Are you talking to CEOs of various oil companies encouraging
them to use this straight upright right?
Speaker 1 (16:16):
They should?
Speaker 5 (16:17):
I think they should.
Speaker 2 (16:18):
I think they should use they would.
Speaker 5 (16:21):
You Look, we took out just about all of their
mind shifts, and one night we're up to both number sixty.
I didn't realize that that big a navy. I would
say it was big and ineffective. But every one of
the shifts, just about all of the navy is gone
and the bottom of this sable.
Speaker 2 (16:40):
Okay, so that is the latest from President Trump. Navy's gone,
air force is gone. He can declare victory whenever he
feels like they have finished their targeting. Anything surprised you
from any of that, buck, I mean, obviously the president
is very confident about his ability to do whatever he
feels like he needs to do. No, that's where we've
been saying. The situation is right now, it's essentially pulling
(17:02):
apart the Iranian military apparatus piece by piece and just
just dismantling it. And that is that has been effective.
We've been able to do that. The Iranians don't really
have a countering capability. The only counter and capability they
would have at this point is something people are concerned about,
which is sells operational cells going on terrorist attacks against
(17:25):
soft targets here at home or around the world.
Speaker 1 (17:27):
That's something we have to be aware of.
Speaker 2 (17:28):
Although if we trace that back to Iran, you know,
we're who wants to be involved in that kind of
stuff on Irani and soil. Right now, we can blow
up anyone anywhere basically, So I think that that's all
it all lines up, Clay, But I also think that
we're going to walk away without there being a different
government in Iran.
Speaker 1 (17:47):
I do think that's where this is going to happen
or this is going.
Speaker 2 (17:51):
So that's an interesting situation. I'm not really sure what
happens after that. All right, your cell phone service doesn't
have to stay status quo. If you're not happy with
your wireless provider, if you pay too much every month,
consider switching to pure Talk. You'll be saving hundreds of
dollars a year without sacrificing any quality, but twenty five

Their customer service is even better.
Speaker 2 (18:21):
Their entire team is all US based, and with pure

so we can always fit them into segments. Sometimes some
(19:48):
of the calls, as much as we love you, we
start get into like how's the weather where you are?
Speaker 1 (19:52):
Yeah? Good?
Speaker 2 (19:53):
You know, we sometimes burn time and we don't have
the time to get you to say the full thing
you want to say, So podcast listen or Kevin from Florida,
this is cut d he's weighing in on something, a
real controversy that's been kicking up around here.
Speaker 1 (20:07):
Hit it.
Speaker 7 (20:07):
I just heard the guy talking about the kick of
a nine mil or the recoil and everything I have.
You know, I'm a two thousand and three three gun
state championship winner out of Texas, and I use a
forty five ACP the whole time because a nine mel
wouldn't knock over to steal plates. It's the kinetic energy.
It counts.
Speaker 1 (20:27):
Buddy. I love your gun.
Speaker 2 (20:30):
War here that you have started with gun guys just called.
By the way, that guy sounds like what I would
expect a Texas.
Speaker 1 (20:37):
Shooting champion to sound like. Correct.
Speaker 2 (20:40):
Yes, I mean, if you know Trump always talks about
somebody out of Central casting, that is the voice of
a expert Texas shooter.
Speaker 1 (20:47):
I would think Kevin may live in Florida.
Speaker 4 (20:50):
Now.
Speaker 2 (20:50):
He still wears a cowboy hat, let's be honest, still
wears a cabin and no one questions it because he's
Kevin from Texas. By the way, we've got more people
just weighing in. I'm taking body blows left and right
for continuing to talk about how awesome my tesla is.
This is Robert podcast listener cut G Clay.
Speaker 6 (21:09):
I think that all of your sports talk, tough manliness talk,
it's just a facade to cover up for the fact
that you drive an electric car. My favorite thing to
do is get in front of a Tesla with the
f two to fifty break check them, then throw the
hammer down, roll some coal and leave them in a
cloud of toxic diesel fumes. Enjoy going to pick up
(21:30):
the tampons in the electric.
Speaker 1 (21:32):
Car there, Bye, wow, harsh? Why so anty?
Speaker 2 (21:37):
Look, just because I live in the future and you
live in the past doesn't mean you have to be
angry at me. You know, like back in the day
there were a lot of Biff. Was a Biff Henderson
the foil of a Martymack future?
Speaker 4 (21:50):
Ye?
Speaker 1 (21:51):
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 (21:52):
There are a lot of Biffs out there, you know,
rolling around the nineteen fifties with your sleeves rolled up,
not understanding the flux capacitor and the future.
Speaker 1 (22:00):
Sure that was coming your way in one of the
fly right McFly.
Speaker 2 (22:04):
If anyone ever did that to your head, and like
did the knock knock, I think you should be allowed
to punch them. That is I think one of the
greatest movies that's ever been made across board and it
still holds up. And here's something it's gonna single most
beloved by Rotten Tomatoes of the eighties is back Is
that true? Actually it is back to the Future. Yes, okay,
so this is actually a popular opinion. This is kind
(22:27):
of wild. If they were putting back to the future,
we were going back in time, uh from the modern day.
I believe I am correct in this. We would be
setting back to the future now in nineteen ninety six.
Think about that when we were kids, When we were kids,
(22:50):
and all of you out there who watch Back to
the Future, I believe Back to the Future was set
in nineteen fifty four ish, so it was made in
like nineteen eighty four, so it was going back thirty
and I remember just thinking watching that, you know, that's
my parents' generation that grew up and just thinking, man,
that world is so much different. Think about that now,
if they made back to the future today and they
(23:11):
went back in time the same amount, they would be
going back to nineteen ninety six. That that really kind
of is boggling my mind to think about. And I
actually think that would be a great That would be
a great premise for reviving the Back of the Future franchise,
Right if you brought back then if with the current generation,
you did the parents. Your parents are dressing like Ross
(23:35):
and Chandler from Friends, and everyone's watching Seinfeld and you're
listening to like Nirvana, and maybe you know that's basically
the you know, I went and saw and I don't
know if I talked about it on the show, because
I knew you were going to be angry about it,
But I went and saw Scream seven, which is so
angry about this take.
Speaker 1 (23:55):
It's insane. This is when this is when I look
at Clay.
Speaker 2 (23:57):
I'm like, like, how you're so a student, so many
things you think?
Speaker 1 (24:01):
Anyway, go ahead. I went.
Speaker 2 (24:03):
So I went and watched Scream seven in the movie theater,
and I've watched all the screen movies. The original Scream
movie was set in nineteen ninety six, so to your point,
they now have made thirty years later. Nev Campbell, who
is the star of the Scream franchise, it has been
thirty years since the original Scream movie was made, so
(24:25):
there is a nostalgic, iconic throwback esque element to Scream seven,
which I enjoy. I think the Original Screen movie is
for a I really consider it more thriller than horror
because it's there's nothing supernatural. It's really just a you
like the Original screen. The Original is an excellent movie
for what it is. It really an excellent movie. Yeah,
(24:45):
I mean there's look, usually when they make seven of something,
there are exceptions. Maybe this is coming from the two
Electric car guys. I'm just gonna lean into this for
a second. The fact that The Fast and the Furious
franchise is like maybe the most successful movie franchise of
all time by box office receipts is complete madness.
Speaker 1 (25:06):
To me.
Speaker 2 (25:07):
I would rather watch an endless loop of sham Wou
and George Foreman grill commercials. I cannot understand how anyone
thinks The Fast and Furious movies are worth watching, and
yet I am clearly clearly in the minority on this one.
I think they made nine or something how many of Yeah. Now,
to be fair, I think the Fast and the Furious
(25:29):
movies were a perfect distillation of the international appeal of
movies because they don't have to talk very much. And
so I mean, I mean the dialogue or we don't
need to actually speak. But I mean if you look
at what is popular internationally, it's often just really fast
racing cars. And I think the Fast and the Furious movies.
(25:52):
Back when China was allowing movies to actually be aired
in China, you know, they started cutting back on a
lot of American films, but they to basically do away
with dialogue and just have a lot of big, explosive pyrotechnics,
and I think those movies are a perfect distillation of that.
I walk past someone today in a gold Ferrari and
(26:15):
I just have to say, do you think you could
pull off being the owner of a gold Ferrari. I mean,
it clearly had been repaid. I don't think they offer
that as a factory color, but it was well, this
is this is a fun question. What would you think
if the next time I came to Miami, we did
the show and then I said, Hey, I've got to
(26:36):
run out because there is a Ferrari dealership not far
from where you are, because I've seen them like, and
I was like, I got to go pick up my Ferrari.
Would you be like this is the most outrageous, because
let me tell you, this Ferrari is the most profitable
car in the world, per Ferrari because they treat them
like paintings, Like they only do make like three thousand Ferrari.
(27:00):
He's a year or something. It's an extraordinarily profitable brand
as a result. Look, I actually think that Ferraris are
they are works of art, and they are beautiful to
their they're in credit. I mean, I'm not a car guy,
but I respect Ferrari has sort of created the the
ultimate in in in the you know, in vehicle, uh
(27:21):
racing luxury. But if you told me that you were
picking up your gold plated I would be calling Laura
and be like, Laura, I think Clay's having a mid
life crisis. We got to get him some help. Like
probably would be accurate. Here's the answer. I would be
nervous to drive a car that nice, whether you could
pull it off or not, because I don't care how
(27:43):
much money I had. I would be so terrified of
hitting a curb in a Ferrari or somebody bumping into
me while I was driving it that I couldn't ever
enjoy the process of driving a Ferrari. I would be
terrified if something going wrong. I was I was own
for my incredible wheels. In college, I had a wood
(28:04):
paneled Buick Roadmaster station wagon in a pale blue with
the wood paneling with like ninety thousand miles on it,
and we called it the Shagan Wagon.
Speaker 1 (28:16):
There was no Shagon in this wagon, but that was
what we called it.
Speaker 2 (28:20):
Big Austin Powers fan back of the day, and this thing,
let me tell you you, it was like indestructible. There
was nothing, you know, you could do whatever you have
to have to worry about parking.
Speaker 1 (28:32):
It, leaving it.
Speaker 2 (28:33):
Nobody's gonna steal it like you would to worry if
the car doors are locked.
Speaker 1 (28:38):
I'm not a huge car guy either.
Speaker 2 (28:40):
It handled sort of like a like a ferry boat
that would take you between islands or something.
Speaker 1 (28:45):
Yes, it had that kind of a turn radius.
Speaker 2 (28:47):
However, however, a little ding on the wood paneling, you're like, eh,
it's not real wood? Is that the worst car you
ever had? The worst car I ever had was when
Waa and I first got married. We bought a Chevy
Malibu convertible, which is the worst purchase of my life.
That's that's like a Michael Scott from the office kind
(29:07):
of a purchase, a Chevy Chevy Malibu convertible. I thought
having a convertible would be nice. The thing had a
turn radius you had if you just made like even
Chevy Malibu.
Speaker 1 (29:22):
Laura grew up.
Speaker 2 (29:24):
Laura grew up knowing cars because she grew up in
the fun of the Chevy Malibu more than the electric
car you own now. Tell But by the way I had,
I had no money, So, I mean, it's not like
when we got married.
Speaker 1 (29:35):
I was, you know, twenty five or whatever.
Speaker 2 (29:37):
It's not like I was out there and I could say, Hey,
you know what I'm gonna buy. I mean, I bought
a used Chevy Malibu. The guy who sold it was
probably like, I can't believe somebody gave me money for this.
I think it was like seven thousand dollars or something.
It was not very much mine have any money. And
it's the worst car I've ever driven. You could not
turn the thing, Like, what.
Speaker 1 (29:57):
Did you think? The number one thing you would think if.
Speaker 2 (30:00):
You had a convertible would be man, that thing would
handle really well. You had to make like seventy eight
different turns to reverse direction to make a turn in
that car. It had the worst turn radius of any
vehicle ever made. And it's the worst purchase that I
ever made. And it was only like seven grand. But
(30:20):
I was like, as soon as I started driving it,
I was like, this is a really bad decision we made.
I also liked that people would sometimes see me driving
by and they would just start going holiday.
Speaker 1 (30:30):
You know.
Speaker 2 (30:30):
They reminded them of the car from National Lampoons, although
it's actually a different Also a great movie that holds
up that original Vacation and the one that I think
is even better, which is rare. Christmas Vacation is the
best of the Vacation franchises, and that one came out
like twenty years later.
Speaker 1 (30:47):
Did you see I'm not letting you get off the
hook so easy with this? Did you see all seven
Screen movies? Oh? Yeah, which was the worst one?
Speaker 2 (30:57):
I think Scream four probably was the worst. Maybe Screen five?
I remember when I Six was not good either. Really
seven was better than I would say four, five, and six.
Speaker 1 (31:16):
Do you remember the leprechan movies? Oh?
Speaker 2 (31:18):
Of course I Do you know that Jennifer Aniston was
in the first one. It was actually her screen debut.
Uh but casting move by them, by the way, Yes,
that's an elite pick elite draft Parry, very very budget
horror movie. But Warwick Davis who was also the good
guy in Willow he plays. He's a well known little
(31:38):
person actor, the best known little person actor before Tierry
and Lanister. That guy came along forget his name in
real life, but that that guy's a cocky bastard. I
don't really like him. He's not very likable. I mean,
he's a little big for his breeches.
Speaker 1 (31:56):
If we're gonna be honest, yes, And.
Speaker 2 (32:00):
Nonetheless, we had great in Game of Thrones though, I
mean really talent. It's fantastic in the role. Full credit
for that. But Warwick Davis the Leprechaun movies, they made
five of them play and I saw several of the sequels.
Speaker 1 (32:14):
There is a.
Speaker 2 (32:14):
Leprechaun in the Hood movie, which is what you think
it is. It is like Boys in the Hood, but
they drop a Leprechaun in the middle of the movie
and it is a thing. So you know, I don't know.
They don't make movies like they used to. That I
could tell you, And they certainly don't make them like
Scream seven. By the way, Peter Dinklice should be incredibly
(32:38):
humble because he happened to get the best midget character
that has ever exists. For midget characters, and yet he
didn't accept that.
Speaker 1 (32:48):
Role from George R. R. Martin.
Speaker 2 (32:50):
I mean, Terry and Lanister is the greatest midget character
in I think person or dwarf.
Speaker 1 (32:57):
You're throwing me at some point.
Speaker 2 (32:59):
It's some point is that the m more now like
I'm sticking with midget Like everybody knows what it is.
He got the greatest midget role ever. And instead of
being incredibly thankful, do you know remember this, Like he
said it would be offensive when they remade the snow
White Woke snow White they had to do computer animated
(33:20):
dwarves because he said it would be offensive to cast
midgets to play the Remember this if you're a little
person actor. The guy just stole the seven greatest roles
that are going to exist in your career because he's
a cocky bastard. I don't like that, dude, Peter Dinklice,
I there's one of the few people in media that
I'm like. He seems like a total I'm trying to
avoid a jerk. I'm trying to avoid using the wrong word.
(33:41):
By the way, fast growing trees one of the best

Speaker 2 (35:10):
Laughing at his funny things in the breaks sometimes, guys, sorry,
the frivolity that everybody's angry on social media a lot.
It feels like, I would say, anger is the predominant media.
I like to laugh, and so there's a lot of
great humor from many of you on social media on
a regular basis. So more humor, less anger. I think
(35:32):
happy warrior doom typically wins. And I wanted to make
sure that I mentioned this guy's name because we talked
about him in the fact that he was a hero
and he's not getting any credit from Mamdani at all.
Aaron Edwards Buck is the name of the NYPD officer
that has gone viral with a photo of him jumping
over a barricade to tackle these two would be terrorists
(35:54):
outside of Gracie Mansion. Aaron Edwards, So thank you from us.
I know we have a lot of them YPD listeners
out there in the WR listening audience, and I know
a lot of you are nodding along too that. Unfortunately,
it is a sign of the culture that has been
embraced from New York City, that people who are protesting
at Columbia get to eat dinner in the mayor's residence
(36:17):
and not the people that are actually keeping us all
safe from the looney ben criminals out there. So thank
you to Aaron Edwards of the NYPD. We come back, Buck.
Our friend Ashley Brassfeld is going to join us with
the absolute latest on the Georgia primary, including the race
to replace Marjorie Taylor Green that is getting a lot
of attention right now. And then also in the third hour,
(36:38):
we'll be joined by Senator Tommy Tubberville of Alabama. All
that coming your way in the next hour, plus your reactions.
Thanks for hanging with us on Claim Buck,
Welcome to today's edition of The Clay Travis and Buck
Sexton Show podcast.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
Second hour of Play and Buck kicks off right now.
Speaker 1 (00:08):
Thanks for being here with us, everybody.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
We're talking about Ron in the first hour, and now
let's turn our attention for a little bit to the
attempted terror attack in New York City.
Speaker 1 (00:21):
Now we've discussed this with you after it happened.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
It was outside of Gracie Mansion, which is the Mayor
of New York City's residence.
Speaker 1 (00:30):
Also holds events there, but it's the mayor's residence.
Speaker 2 (00:33):
I'll never forget when Bloomberg preferred Clay his fifty million
dollars townhouse or whatever it was, so he lived there
and held only events at the That's quite a move
when the official residence of the Mayor of New York
is like, not quite up to your standards, but it's
it's quite a property. It's right on the East River,
(00:53):
and there was a protest there, people saying that they're worried,
and I don't know exactly what they said. They probably
some of them said some things that aren't so nice
about Islam, and they said that they're worried about the
Islamification of New York, et cetera, et cetera. A bunch
of terrorists, wannabes or I guess just terrorists now because
(01:15):
they tried, they're attempted terrorists showed up to throw bombs
at them, to throw a bomb at them. And there
was this fascinating series of events that occurred that we've
seen now many many times over the years, really over
the decades now where somehow, if you are a Democrat
member of the media, you have to take a shockingly
(01:40):
pro Islamic terrorist tone point of view. However, that is
you say that we can never know the real motive
when the guys you're like Allah who lockbart, we can
never know the real motive, right, We aren't really sure
yet what's going on here. If the guy happens to
be of like Middle Eastern or or clearly of Muslim descent,
(02:03):
we got to bury that as long as we can.
If we have to leave out things in the transcript,
like the guy, the terrorist saying that he pledge allegiance
to Isis and he's doing this for Allah, they'll.
Speaker 1 (02:12):
Do that too.
Speaker 2 (02:13):
This is a clear pattern that has been in place
for a long time, and we saw this play out
in this case Clay with the CNN piece that was
you know, it could have been a lovely day.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
It was eighty five degrees.
Speaker 2 (02:27):
When two men traveled over from Pennsylvania and then they
threw a bomb at somebody. It's like, well, hold on
a second, why would you ever frame this incident in
that way as a news report? Like why make it
seem like everything was cool and fine? And then they
just kind of threw a bomb at some guys and
tried to kill them, Like, it's very strange. CNN's Abby
(02:48):
Phillip after this happens, after what I just told you,
and they pulled that tweet down, which is very rare
for CNN to admit we're idiots. We shouldn't have done that.
But it was so dumb, it was so preposterous that
they had to. Then cnn' Zabbey Phillip goes on and
this is now Clay, I saw you point this out.
This is off the teleprompter. Oh yeah, so this was
(03:09):
written by producers who went over this script beforehand, and
then she read it aloud. I want you to listen
closely to how CNN describes this attempted Muslim terrorist attack
in New York City. Outside the Mayor's residence.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
Play two.
Speaker 3 (03:26):
Two Republicans say Muslims don't belong here after an attempted
terror attack against New York's from Mayor zor On Mamdani,
and the House Speaker Mike Johnson says nothing really to
condemn those comments.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
Uh oh, okay, notice what happened here, Clay, an attempted
terror attack against New York City Mayor zor On Mamdani.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
It was an attack against him. It was an attack by.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
Muslims against the guys who say that Muslims have too
many terrorists in their midst, so we should probably rethink
how many of them were bringing into this country. That's
their position, protected by the First Amendment. By the way,
you can dislike it, you can hate it or not,
but it's clearly protected speech at a protest. But also, Clay,
I notice how the real problem isn't the guys who
(04:11):
tried to blow people up, naim them, have ball bearings,
you know, shot into their chests and in their eyes,
blind people, maybe, et cetera.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
That's not the big problem.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
The big problem is the lack of Republican member of
Congress condemnation of the mean words the protesters said yeah,
And I can't believe I'm gonna say this, but I'm
going to defend Abby Phillips here it even if we
play that again, she's reading off a teleprompter and it
(04:42):
seems like she recognizes that it's poorly drafted. And again,
this is being a TV nerd and understanding having hosted
some of these things before. Sometimes you read off the
prompter and you're like, this is not good, you know,
But as you're reading it, it appears that she is
going to tossed to a break. Play this again. I'll
take you into the weeds here. But what I think
(05:04):
a significant buck is whatever the culture is at CNN.
This much like that article that made it out of
through the editorial process and everything else. The errors you make,
and I will say this as a guy who has
run a media company, the errors you make reflect the
culture you create. And everybody's gonna screw up. Everybody's going
(05:28):
to be imperfect. You and I screw up. Sometimes we
don't have teleprompters, so we're not reading anything at any
point in time. I always hold it up. You can watch.
You can look at this on the YouTube channel. I
have a yellow legal pad like I have for most
of my career that I jot down notes on that
I read and run the entire show from And you
(05:50):
have a notepad in front of you, and you got
your computer, but there is no teleprompter. Play that for
us one more time. As she is reading it, you
can start to see she is thinking, Hey, this doesn't
feel right. But she has a commercial break that she's
trying to hit and this is the tease. But again,
the errors that you make reflect the culture that you create.
(06:10):
The culture that CNN has created is there is no
way that left wingers could ever be responsible for anything negative,
and that I think undergirds this error.
Speaker 1 (06:20):
Play it one more time.
Speaker 3 (06:21):
Two Republicans say Muslims don't belong here after an attempted
terror attack against New York's mayors or on Mamdani, and
the House Speaker Mike Johnson says nothing really to condemn
those comments.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
Okay, And I saw an interesting comment and I can't
remember who credited it. But a lot of people believe
that Mom Donnie was the victim of a terror attack
that is intentional. Lots of people on the left who
are not as engaged on stories as you are, believe
that Mam Donnie was the victim of a terror attack.
(06:56):
You can hear Abby Phillips, she recognizes I think that
that is not an accuratees that she is reading, But
somehow that made it through CNN editorial, somehow that I
believe ended up on her teleprompter. And what this is
reflective of is an attempt to obfuscate, to hide, to
keep people unaware of what actually happened here, which is
(07:18):
to Muslim motivated terrorists decided to try to throw IEDs
and kill people who were protesting the number of Muslims
that have been allowed into our country, and brave NYPD
police officers ran towards the bombs and were able to
tackle the guys who were responsible for this.
Speaker 1 (07:39):
And this is.
Speaker 2 (07:42):
James Gogliano, former director of the FBI NYC Division, says,
the rank and file are furious because Mom Donnie has
in no way honored the NYPD officers that actually ran
towards these bombs and caught the bad guys, which again
goes to the intentional cultural hiding of this story in
(08:04):
the way that it's been covered.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
Cut twenty four the.
Speaker 4 (08:06):
Other night, instead of hosting the two star police chief
who leaped over the barricades and ran this guy down
who had thrown the bomb. The Mayor decides that Gracie
Mansion to host mackmood Khalil. I mean, he's senting such
an awful, awful message here to the rank and file.
And remember the mayor when he was a private citizen
(08:28):
who had commented on Twitter then that he saw cop
crying in his car and nature was healing. This is
something that again, the men and women of the NYPD.
Speaker 1 (08:38):
Will do the right thing.
Speaker 4 (08:39):
They're going to enforce the laws, they're going to show
up for work, but they understand that this man on
the screen right now does.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
Not have their back.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
I think that's the key bock. And you're a New
York City born and bred kid. The fact that this
NYPD cop who jumped if you haven't seen the iconic
photo of this cop jumping a barricade to chase down
the guys who had thrown bombs, bombs that at any
moment could have gone off. He ran towards danger, He
arrested and tackled the culprits here, Mam Donnie. To my knowledge,
(09:13):
Buck hasn't said a word in favor of this officer's
bravery and what he actually did. Instead, he brought the
Columbia protester in and gave him a meal and took
pictures of it. Well, you have to remember that Mam
Donnie's base very much is comprised of and includes in
considerable number the kind of people who agree with everything
(09:38):
that those terrorists feel and say.
Speaker 1 (09:41):
But they have to technically draw.
Speaker 2 (09:42):
The line at actual violence because that's against the law
in a way that people notice and get upset about.
So his base is very supportive of the people who
show up and want to silence the anti you know,
we didn't really have a good term for them. They
call them white nationalists. To this I still haven't seen
(10:02):
anything white nationalists. I've only seen anti immigration and anti
Now people.
Speaker 1 (10:09):
Can argue if they think that's white nationalists.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
But there are plenty of people who are concerned about
the massive immigration into this country, particularly legal immigration who
aren't white, including legal immigrants, by the way, huge numbers
of minorities that have legally immigrated to the country, Like
we're good, we have enough. Yeah, we've had enough here
for a little while. So that's not actually a white
(10:31):
nationalist belief per se. They can try to make make
that case but I think that that's made in bad faith.
My point here being that, yeah, Mamdanni, like left wing
radical lunatics are Mamdanni's buddies, so he doesn't want to
upset them. But he does have to say, all right, like,
don't try to blow up the white nationalists quote unquote,
just you know, spit in their faces and do what
(10:53):
ANTIFA usually does. But don't do that because then I
have to let the NYPD tackle some of them and
do the things. I'm going to tell you this right now.
By the way, it's gonna take some time. The sentence
that these guys get is going to be enragingly light
guaranteed in real now, they're gonna they're gonna be punished
(11:16):
because they they know there are limits here to how
crazy the system can be in New York when before
people really start to freak out and leave. But Clay,
I mean, you're gonna see remember the guys who during BLM.
Speaker 1 (11:29):
Wasn't there a guy It was a lawyer.
Speaker 2 (11:30):
Actually, there you go, a lawyer who threw a Molotov
cocktail into a cop car.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
They got slap on the wrist. Yeah I remember that
slap on the wrist.
Speaker 2 (11:41):
Yeah, I remember that story because I think it was
a lawyer at a prominent law firm, and I remember thinking,
how do you find yourself in a situation where you're
lighting a Molotov cocktail as a lawyer on fire and
throwing it into a cop car. Uh, that's how deranged.
Everybody became on the left in particular in twenty twenty,
probably got a tenured professor position waiting for him at
(12:06):
some local, you know, university, local college in New York.
I wouldn't be surprised at all. Look, we had a
blackout the other night. That's why I didn't last me anything.
Most of you were nice in the AMA, some of
you not so nice. Most of you were nice. Blackout
in the building. That was not fun. I was taking
the stairs, the lights were all out. It was a miner,
would only lasted a few hours. But it was a
(12:27):
reminder that stuff can happen. And it was also a
reminder that if I needed to talk to family, even
if you had all the power out here and there
were cell phone disruptions which can happen. I had my
rapid radios ready to go. Rapid radios long range emergency
radios built for blackouts, natural disasters in any unpredictable moments
(12:49):
life throws your way. Rapid radios are small enough to
hold in the palm of your hand, and you can
slip them into your purse or go bag.
Speaker 1 (12:55):
And rapid radios.
Speaker 2 (12:56):
Work on the LTE network, so their ability to instantly
connect with some when while the power's out is a
game changer. They've also got a long battery life up
to five days, and a durability that stands up to
real world emergencies. Staying connected shouldn't depend on luck. It
should depend on the tools you trust. If you want
to protect your family during the next weather emergency, take
ownership of a set of rapid radios.
Speaker 1 (13:16):
Do it now.
Speaker 2 (13:17):
Go to rapid radios dot com, check out the new
rad one, see the full emergency features, and grab the
launch offer while it's still alive. Communication redefined only at
rapid radios dot com.
Speaker 1 (13:36):
Let me hit you with a couple of cuts.
Speaker 2 (13:39):
President Trump was just outside the White House and he
was responding to members of the press as he walked
to the helicopter. President Trump is going to be in
Ohio and Kentucky today, Buck, so he is about to
embark on some early twenty twenty six campaigning. Just fyi
(14:04):
so Ohio and Kentucky. He is probably in the air
en route right now. A reporter asked Trump when he's
going to announce mission accomplished. This is cut twenty five.
Speaker 1 (14:15):
Listen, Well, we've.
Speaker 5 (14:21):
Knocked out that Navy, We've knocked out the Red Force,
We've knocked out all of their anti defense.
Speaker 2 (14:27):
We've taken out.
Speaker 5 (14:29):
Sixty mine boats, fifty mind vote, nobody has ever seen
like we have the greatest military in the world by far,
not even closing sto you know what they've been flicking
forty seven years worth the damage to the world, big pros.
Speaker 2 (14:50):
Couple more buck, he says. We need more of the
same in order for the Iran operation to officially be
over cut twenty six y you.
Speaker 5 (14:59):
Know where doing something that nobody ever thought was possible
to do. Our military is the best, it's the most
powerful in the world, and they're hitting him very hard.
This is forty seven years of abuse and killing, lots
of people, killing and naming lots of people. What is it, Peter,
What board you need to do militarily for this operation
(15:22):
to end? More of the same and we'll see how
that all comes.
Speaker 1 (15:26):
Right now, they are.
Speaker 5 (15:29):
They've lost their navy, they've lost their air force. They
have no anti aircraft apparatus at all, they have no radar,
Their leaders are gone, and we could do a lot worse.
Speaker 1 (15:44):
We're leaving certain.
Speaker 2 (15:45):
Things that if we take them out, or we could take.
Speaker 5 (15:48):
Them out by this afternoon, in fact, within an hour,
they literally would never be able to build that country better.
Speaker 1 (15:56):
All right, one more buck.
Speaker 2 (15:58):
He's saying he thinks oil companies should be using the
straight of horror moves that has helped to inflate the
overall price of oil and gas cut twenty seven.
Speaker 6 (16:09):
Are you talking to CEOs of various oil companies encouraging
them to use this straight upright right?
Speaker 1 (16:16):
They should?
Speaker 5 (16:17):
I think they should.
Speaker 2 (16:18):
I think they should use they would.
Speaker 5 (16:21):
You Look, we took out just about all of their
mind shifts, and one night we're up to both number sixty.
I didn't realize that that big a navy. I would
say it was big and ineffective. But every one of
the shifts, just about all of the navy is gone
and the bottom of this sable.
Speaker 2 (16:40):
Okay, so that is the latest from President Trump. Navy's gone,
air force is gone. He can declare victory whenever he
feels like they have finished their targeting. Anything surprised you
from any of that, buck, I mean, obviously the president
is very confident about his ability to do whatever he
feels like he needs to do. No, that's where we've
been saying. The situation is right now, it's essentially pulling
(17:02):
apart the Iranian military apparatus piece by piece and just
just dismantling it. And that is that has been effective.
We've been able to do that. The Iranians don't really
have a countering capability. The only counter and capability they
would have at this point is something people are concerned about,
which is sells operational cells going on terrorist attacks against
(17:25):
soft targets here at home or around the world.
Speaker 1 (17:27):
That's something we have to be aware of.
Speaker 2 (17:28):
Although if we trace that back to Iran, you know,
we're who wants to be involved in that kind of
stuff on Irani and soil. Right now, we can blow
up anyone anywhere basically, So I think that that's all
it all lines up, Clay, But I also think that
we're going to walk away without there being a different
government in Iran.
Speaker 1 (17:47):
I do think that's where this is going to happen
or this is going.
Speaker 2 (17:51):
So that's an interesting situation. I'm not really sure what
happens after that. All right, your cell phone service doesn't

Speaker 2 (19:53):
You know, we sometimes burn time and we don't have
the time to get you to say the full thing
you want to say, So podcast listen or Kevin from Florida,
this is cut d he's weighing in on something, a
real controversy that's been kicking up around here.
Speaker 1 (20:07):
Hit it.
Speaker 7 (20:07):
I just heard the guy talking about the kick of
a nine mil or the recoil and everything I have.
You know, I'm a two thousand and three three gun
state championship winner out of Texas, and I use a
forty five ACP the whole time because a nine mel
wouldn't knock over to steal plates. It's the kinetic energy.
It counts.
Speaker 1 (20:27):
Buddy. I love your gun.
Speaker 2 (20:30):
War here that you have started with gun guys just called.
By the way, that guy sounds like what I would
expect a Texas.
Speaker 1 (20:37):
Shooting champion to sound like. Correct.
Speaker 2 (20:40):
Yes, I mean, if you know Trump always talks about
somebody out of Central casting, that is the voice of
a expert Texas shooter.
Speaker 1 (20:47):
I would think Kevin may live in Florida.
Speaker 4 (20:50):
Now.
Speaker 2 (20:50):
He still wears a cowboy hat, let's be honest, still
wears a cabin and no one questions it because he's
Kevin from Texas. By the way, we've got more people
just weighing in. I'm taking body blows left and right
for continuing to talk about how awesome my tesla is.
This is Robert podcast listener cut G Clay.
Speaker 6 (21:09):
I think that all of your sports talk, tough manliness talk,
it's just a facade to cover up for the fact
that you drive an electric car. My favorite thing to
do is get in front of a Tesla with the
f two to fifty break check them, then throw the
hammer down, roll some coal and leave them in a
cloud of toxic diesel fumes. Enjoy going to pick up
(21:30):
the tampons in the electric.
Speaker 1 (21:32):
Car there, Bye, wow, harsh? Why so anty?
Speaker 2 (21:37):
Look, just because I live in the future and you
live in the past doesn't mean you have to be
angry at me. You know, like back in the day
there were a lot of Biff. Was a Biff Henderson
the foil of a Martymack future?
Speaker 4 (21:50):
Ye?
Speaker 1 (21:51):
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 (21:52):
There are a lot of Biffs out there, you know,
rolling around the nineteen fifties with your sleeves rolled up,
not understanding the flux capacitor and the future.
Speaker 1 (22:00):
Sure that was coming your way in one of the
fly right McFly.
Speaker 2 (22:04):
If anyone ever did that to your head, and like
did the knock knock, I think you should be allowed
to punch them. That is I think one of the
greatest movies that's ever been made across board and it
still holds up. And here's something it's gonna single most
beloved by Rotten Tomatoes of the eighties is back Is
that true? Actually it is back to the Future. Yes, okay,
so this is actually a popular opinion. This is kind
(22:27):
of wild. If they were putting back to the future,
we were going back in time, uh from the modern day.
I believe I am correct in this. We would be
setting back to the future now in nineteen ninety six.
Think about that when we were kids, When we were kids,
(22:50):
and all of you out there who watch Back to
the Future, I believe Back to the Future was set
in nineteen fifty four ish, so it was made in
like nineteen eighty four, so it was going back thirty
and I remember just thinking watching that, you know, that's
my parents' generation that grew up and just thinking, man,
that world is so much different. Think about that now,
if they made back to the future today and they
(23:11):
went back in time the same amount, they would be
going back to nineteen ninety six. That that really kind
of is boggling my mind to think about. And I
actually think that would be a great That would be
a great premise for reviving the Back of the Future franchise,
Right if you brought back then if with the current generation,
you did the parents. Your parents are dressing like Ross
(23:35):
and Chandler from Friends, and everyone's watching Seinfeld and you're
listening to like Nirvana, and maybe you know that's basically
the you know, I went and saw and I don't
know if I talked about it on the show, because
I knew you were going to be angry about it,
But I went and saw Scream seven, which is so
angry about this take.
Speaker 1 (23:55):
It's insane. This is when this is when I look
at Clay.
Speaker 2 (23:57):
I'm like, like, how you're so a student, so many
things you think?
Speaker 1 (24:01):
Anyway, go ahead. I went.
Speaker 2 (24:03):
So I went and watched Scream seven in the movie theater,
and I've watched all the screen movies. The original Scream
movie was set in nineteen ninety six, so to your point,
they now have made thirty years later. Nev Campbell, who
is the star of the Scream franchise, it has been
thirty years since the original Scream movie was made, so
(24:25):
there is a nostalgic, iconic throwback esque element to Scream seven,
which I enjoy. I think the Original Screen movie is
for a I really consider it more thriller than horror
because it's there's nothing supernatural. It's really just a you
like the Original screen. The Original is an excellent movie
for what it is. It really an excellent movie. Yeah,
(24:45):
I mean there's look, usually when they make seven of something,
there are exceptions. Maybe this is coming from the two
Electric car guys. I'm just gonna lean into this for
a second. The fact that The Fast and the Furious
franchise is like maybe the most successful movie franchise of
all time by box office receipts is complete madness.
Speaker 1 (25:06):
To me.
Speaker 2 (25:07):
I would rather watch an endless loop of sham Wou
and George Foreman grill commercials. I cannot understand how anyone
thinks The Fast and Furious movies are worth watching, and
yet I am clearly clearly in the minority on this one.
I think they made nine or something how many of Yeah. Now,
to be fair, I think the Fast and the Furious
(25:29):
movies were a perfect distillation of the international appeal of
movies because they don't have to talk very much. And
so I mean, I mean the dialogue or we don't
need to actually speak. But I mean if you look
at what is popular internationally, it's often just really fast
racing cars. And I think the Fast and the Furious movies.
(25:52):
Back when China was allowing movies to actually be aired
in China, you know, they started cutting back on a
lot of American films, but they to basically do away
with dialogue and just have a lot of big, explosive pyrotechnics,
and I think those movies are a perfect distillation of that.
I walk past someone today in a gold Ferrari and
(26:15):
I just have to say, do you think you could
pull off being the owner of a gold Ferrari. I mean,
it clearly had been repaid. I don't think they offer
that as a factory color, but it was well, this
is this is a fun question. What would you think
if the next time I came to Miami, we did
the show and then I said, Hey, I've got to
(26:36):
run out because there is a Ferrari dealership not far
from where you are, because I've seen them like, and
I was like, I got to go pick up my Ferrari.
Would you be like this is the most outrageous, because
let me tell you, this Ferrari is the most profitable
car in the world, per Ferrari because they treat them
like paintings, Like they only do make like three thousand Ferrari.
(27:00):
He's a year or something. It's an extraordinarily profitable brand
as a result. Look, I actually think that Ferraris are
they are works of art, and they are beautiful to
their they're in credit. I mean, I'm not a car guy,
but I respect Ferrari has sort of created the the
ultimate in in in the you know, in vehicle, uh
(27:21):
racing luxury. But if you told me that you were
picking up your gold plated I would be calling Laura
and be like, Laura, I think Clay's having a mid
life crisis. We got to get him some help. Like
probably would be accurate. Here's the answer. I would be
nervous to drive a car that nice, whether you could
pull it off or not, because I don't care how
(27:43):
much money I had. I would be so terrified of
hitting a curb in a Ferrari or somebody bumping into
me while I was driving it that I couldn't ever
enjoy the process of driving a Ferrari. I would be
terrified if something going wrong. I was I was own
for my incredible wheels. In college, I had a wood
(28:04):
paneled Buick Roadmaster station wagon in a pale blue with
the wood paneling with like ninety thousand miles on it,
and we called it the Shagan Wagon.
Speaker 1 (28:16):
There was no Shagon in this wagon, but that was
what we called it.
Speaker 2 (28:20):
Big Austin Powers fan back of the day, and this thing,
let me tell you you, it was like indestructible. There
was nothing, you know, you could do whatever you have
to have to worry about parking.
Speaker 1 (28:32):
It, leaving it.
Speaker 2 (28:33):
Nobody's gonna steal it like you would to worry if
the car doors are locked.
Speaker 1 (28:38):
I'm not a huge car guy either.
Speaker 2 (28:40):
It handled sort of like a like a ferry boat
that would take you between islands or something.
Speaker 1 (28:45):
Yes, it had that kind of a turn radius.
Speaker 2 (28:47):
However, however, a little ding on the wood paneling, you're like, eh,
it's not real wood? Is that the worst car you
ever had? The worst car I ever had was when
Waa and I first got married. We bought a Chevy
Malibu convertible, which is the worst purchase of my life.
That's that's like a Michael Scott from the office kind
(29:07):
of a purchase, a Chevy Chevy Malibu convertible. I thought
having a convertible would be nice. The thing had a
turn radius you had if you just made like even
Chevy Malibu.
Speaker 1 (29:22):
Laura grew up.
Speaker 2 (29:24):
Laura grew up knowing cars because she grew up in
the fun of the Chevy Malibu more than the electric
car you own now. Tell But by the way I had,
I had no money, So, I mean, it's not like
when we got married.
Speaker 1 (29:35):
I was, you know, twenty five or whatever.
Speaker 2 (29:37):
It's not like I was out there and I could say, Hey,
you know what I'm gonna buy. I mean, I bought
a used Chevy Malibu. The guy who sold it was
probably like, I can't believe somebody gave me money for this.
I think it was like seven thousand dollars or something.
It was not very much mine have any money. And
it's the worst car I've ever driven. You could not
turn the thing, Like, what.
Speaker 1 (29:57):
Did you think? The number one thing you would think if.
Speaker 2 (30:00):
You had a convertible would be man, that thing would
handle really well. You had to make like seventy eight
different turns to reverse direction to make a turn in
that car. It had the worst turn radius of any
vehicle ever made. And it's the worst purchase that I
ever made. And it was only like seven grand. But
(30:20):
I was like, as soon as I started driving it,
I was like, this is a really bad decision we made.
I also liked that people would sometimes see me driving
by and they would just start going holiday.
Speaker 1 (30:30):
You know.
Speaker 2 (30:30):
They reminded them of the car from National Lampoons, although
it's actually a different Also a great movie that holds
up that original Vacation and the one that I think
is even better, which is rare. Christmas Vacation is the
best of the Vacation franchises, and that one came out
like twenty years later.
Speaker 1 (30:47):
Did you see I'm not letting you get off the
hook so easy with this? Did you see all seven
Screen movies? Oh? Yeah, which was the worst one?
Speaker 2 (30:57):
I think Scream four probably was the worst. Maybe Screen five?
I remember when I Six was not good either. Really
seven was better than I would say four, five, and six.
Speaker 1 (31:16):
Do you remember the leprechan movies? Oh?
Speaker 2 (31:18):
Of course I Do you know that Jennifer Aniston was
in the first one. It was actually her screen debut.
Uh but casting move by them, by the way, Yes,
that's an elite pick elite draft Parry, very very budget
horror movie. But Warwick Davis who was also the good
guy in Willow he plays. He's a well known little
(31:38):
person actor, the best known little person actor before Tierry
and Lanister. That guy came along forget his name in
real life, but that that guy's a cocky bastard. I
don't really like him. He's not very likable. I mean,
he's a little big for his breeches.
Speaker 1 (31:56):
If we're gonna be honest, yes, And.
Speaker 2 (32:00):
Nonetheless, we had great in Game of Thrones though, I
mean really talent. It's fantastic in the role. Full credit
for that. But Warwick Davis the Leprechaun movies, they made
five of them play and I saw several of the sequels.
Speaker 1 (32:14):
There is a.
Speaker 2 (32:14):
Leprechaun in the Hood movie, which is what you think
it is. It is like Boys in the Hood, but
they drop a Leprechaun in the middle of the movie
and it is a thing. So you know, I don't know.
They don't make movies like they used to. That I
could tell you, And they certainly don't make them like
Scream seven. By the way, Peter Dinklice should be incredibly
(32:38):
humble because he happened to get the best midget character
that has ever exists. For midget characters, and yet he
didn't accept that.
Speaker 1 (32:48):
Role from George R. R. Martin.
Speaker 2 (32:50):
I mean, Terry and Lanister is the greatest midget character
in I think person or dwarf.
Speaker 1 (32:57):
You're throwing me at some point.
Speaker 2 (32:59):
It's some point is that the m more now like
I'm sticking with midget Like everybody knows what it is.
He got the greatest midget role ever. And instead of
being incredibly thankful, do you know remember this, Like he
said it would be offensive when they remade the snow
White Woke snow White they had to do computer animated
(33:20):
dwarves because he said it would be offensive to cast
midgets to play the Remember this if you're a little
person actor. The guy just stole the seven greatest roles
that are going to exist in your career because he's
a cocky bastard. I don't like that, dude, Peter Dinklice,
I there's one of the few people in media that
I'm like. He seems like a total I'm trying to
avoid a jerk. I'm trying to avoid using the wrong word.
(33:41):
By the way, fast growing trees one of the best

Laughing at his funny things in the breaks sometimes, guys, sorry,
the frivolity that everybody's angry on social media a lot.
It feels like, I would say, anger is the predominant media.
I like to laugh, and so there's a lot of
great humor from many of you on social media on
a regular basis. So more humor, less anger. I think
(35:32):
happy warrior doom typically wins. And I wanted to make
sure that I mentioned this guy's name because we talked
about him in the fact that he was a hero
and he's not getting any credit from Mamdani at all.
Aaron Edwards Buck is the name of the NYPD officer
that has gone viral with a photo of him jumping
over a barricade to tackle these two would be terrorists
(35:54):
outside of Gracie Mansion. Aaron Edwards, So thank you from us.
I know we have a lot of them YPD listeners
out there in the WR listening audience, and I know
a lot of you are nodding along too that. Unfortunately,
it is a sign of the culture that has been
embraced from New York City, that people who are protesting
at Columbia get to eat dinner in the mayor's residence
(36:17):
and not the people that are actually keeping us all
safe from the looney ben criminals out there. So thank
you to Aaron Edwards of the NYPD. We come back, Buck.
Our friend Ashley Brassfeld is going to join us with
the absolute latest on the Georgia primary, including the race

that coming your way in the next hour, plus your reactions.
