Arizona congressional candidate Jay Feely. The former NFL kicker and sports broadcaster shares his journey from the football field to the political arena, emphasizing his commitment to President Donald Trump’s America First agenda. Feely discusses the challenges of campaign fundraising, the importance of border security, and the economic struggles facing young Americans, particularly in high-cost housing markets like Arizona. Feely also weighs in on the controversial topic of transgender athletes in women’s sports, defending fairness and safety for female competitors. He recounts his personal experience coaching girls' soccer and criticizes Simone Biles’ comments about Riley Gaines, highlighting the biological advantages male athletes have in women’s sports. The hour takes a lighter turn as Clay and Buck debate whether Clay could beat WNBA star Angel Reese in a one-on-one basketball game, sparking humorous banter about aging, athleticism, and dad pride. Feely joins in, joking about his own competitive edge and experiences playing with LPGA golfers. Listeners also chime in via talkbacks, including a humorous take from a professional flutist on why men might choose to play the flute. Clay and Buck riff on music degrees, harp-playing Mormons, and classical instruments, blending cultural commentary with their signature wit. The conversation shifts to New York City politics, where the hosts analyze the upcoming mayoral race. They critique progressive candidate Zohran Mamdani’s past support for replacing police with social workers in high-crime areas, contrasting it with the potential return of Andrew Cuomo. Despite Cuomo’s controversial past, Clay argues he may be the most rational Democrat in the race, sparking debate among listeners. The hour wraps with a nostalgic discussion on the greatest action movie stars of all time: Arnold Schwarzenegger vs. Sylvester Stallone. Clay and Buck compare iconic films like Predator, Terminator 2, and Rambo, blending pop culture with personal anecdotes, including Clay’s memorable encounter with Stallone.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome back, ed Clay Travis buck Sexton show. Appreciate everybody
hanging out there with us. We are in Washington, d C.
And in Washington DC, you run into different people all
the time. And yesterday on the sidewalk outside of the
White House, I ran into one of the next congressmen
from the great state of Arizona.

Speaker 2 (00:16):
He is Jay Feely, been on before.

Speaker 1 (00:19):
All right, So you are making the rounds in Washington,
DC's you get ready for a primary season. What is
it like to go from kind of a political I
know you have political opinions out there to now being
a full bore congressional candidate.

Speaker 2 (00:34):
What has surprised you the most about the process?

Speaker 3 (00:36):
The amount of work you have to do fundraising, you know,
and I'll be honest, like it shouldn't be about that.
We shouldn't have to raise a ton of money because
we want our best people in Washington, d C. Representing
our country, you know. So I shouldn't be having to
go out and raise money and then whoever raises the
most money they're going to have an advantage.

Speaker 2 (00:54):
But that's the reality of the system.

Speaker 3 (00:56):
And so you have to spend five six hours a
day doing all the time calling people trying to generate
those donations, and then they judge you by like how
much money you raised.

Speaker 1 (01:06):
You know, do you ever have a conversation with somebody
where you just want to talk about saving America and
having the funds to do it, and they want to
talk about that second kick you bad?

Speaker 2 (01:16):
This has ever come up? Yeah, for sure, you know.

Speaker 3 (01:18):
But you know, it's kind of fun because I call
somebody out of the blue and they actually know who
I am.

Speaker 2 (01:23):
Oh, yeah, you were the kicker or you were the announcer.

Speaker 3 (01:25):
And so it gives you that avenue to say, yeah,
here's what I did, and here's why I'm willing to
walk away from an announcing job where I only had
to work five months of the year.

Speaker 2 (01:33):
Yeah, you know, and I got paid well to do it,
and I love doing it. It was fun.

Speaker 3 (01:36):
But this is how much I care about my country
that I want to walk away from that job and
I want to represent the people of Arizona and DC.

Speaker 1 (01:42):
I bet for the most part, this is something that
is very hard to do and learn how to do.

Speaker 2 (01:47):
Ask for money so hard because I hear people who don't.

Speaker 1 (01:50):
I mean, it's one thing if you're in sales or
your fundraising things like that. That's a job that some
people have. But when I talk to people who have
not done politics before, you mentioned it right off the
top the ask for hey, can you help me?

Speaker 2 (02:03):
How tough is that? Well, you have to sit there.

Speaker 3 (02:06):
You don't even get a tax deduct shit if you're
donating to a campaign.

Speaker 2 (02:09):
Yeah, so it's terrible.

Speaker 3 (02:11):
But at the same time, the more you do it
and when you meet people, I think right now in
America you have two different distinct parties that have completely
different views of what America should look like, you know,
and they've never been further apart, not in my lifetime,
you know. So I think those people that love our
country and that truly believe that President Trump and his
America First policies are making our country better, they want

(02:31):
to support candidates that are going to support him and
that are are willing to be advocates and willing to
go on TV and aren't afraid of the blowback.

Speaker 2 (02:39):
And you know, that's the kind of guy I am.
That's who I'll be in Congress.

Speaker 1 (02:42):
One of the most important things that you would want
to tackle, assuming you win this seat, well for all
Americassed to be uh No, the words, and I love
to tackle.

Speaker 2 (02:54):
So you know that.

Speaker 1 (02:55):
Coles have you made in your career? I think about fifty.
Oh that's a lot.

Speaker 2 (03:01):
Thought. Oh I was a guy running down there like
I was gonna hit you. That was fun for me.
Kicking was my job. Somebody was.

Speaker 1 (03:07):
When the kicker annihilates somebody, the stadium goes insane.

Speaker 2 (03:11):
But I'm like standing up, jacked up. Then I go
back to the silent. Oh my gosh, what was the
best hit you ever had on something? Ted Gin?

Speaker 4 (03:19):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (03:19):
Question?

Speaker 1 (03:20):
Yeah, so when you hit ted Ginn and you laid
him out? What does Ted Gin say anything when he
gets wrecked by a kicker?

Speaker 2 (03:25):
Again?

Speaker 3 (03:25):
Well, I had just been teammates, so I wasn't really
hitting Ted Ginn. I was hitting Bill Parcells, but like
through ted Kin, because I had I had. I was
with the Dolphins. I led the league in field goal percentage,
had the best year of my career. And then Bill
Parcells came in. They fired everybody. He didn't like that
I was the player rep. He didn't like that I
did media. He wanted his kicker to go stand in
a corner and not say a word. So they cut

(03:45):
me and released me after my best year.

Speaker 2 (03:47):
Wow. So when I was running down on that kickoff
against the Dolphins the next game I played them, I
was hitting Bill Parsons, saw Bill Parcell's face Tony sprout,
no question, but I I literally never broke stride and
Ted Gan was going out right and he cut back
left and he cut back right into me, and I
hit him and knocked him back about five yards. And
that was like the highlight of it, even better than

(04:07):
the touch that I score. Like that was the moment
for me.

Speaker 1 (04:10):
All right, So what are the issues that you would
like to yeh ress issues?

Speaker 3 (04:14):
I think truly the two biggest issues for Americans. It's
border and security, and it's the economy.

Speaker 4 (04:20):
You know.

Speaker 3 (04:20):
And when you look at what happened over the last
four years with the Biden administration and Democrats in general,
they willingly let tens of millions of legals come into
this country and put politics in front of the protection
of the American people. They can't get away with that.
They said for four years, we need a bill pass.
We can't do anything, we need a bill pass. And
then Trump comes in and in four months completely close
down the border and secure the border. And so the

(04:41):
American people need to hold Democrats accountable for that. They
want to ignore it and all the issues that we're
seeing in La and throughout the country. That goes directly
back to what they did at the border and the
decisions they made to let those people come across. And
I'm an advocate for legal immigration, like I had two
kids that we brought legally from Haiti and helped them
go to college. You know, when I stand up there
and talk about securing the border and not having illegal immigration,

(05:03):
I think we also have to be able to say, hey,
it's okay to love immigrants and to want more legal
immigration and an easier legal immigration process, while being ardently
against illegal immigration. I think those two things get conflicted,
and then the economy. People just want to be able
to look at their future, especially young My son's here
with me, he's on the campaign, you know, just got married.

(05:25):
Him looking at buying a house in our district. Median
house four hundred and fifty thousand, that's crazy. You know,
it's doubled twice in the last like six years out
in Arizona. And you see that across the country, this
massive inflation, and so you have to find ways to
help people, like believe in their future. Believe that I'm
going to be able to provide for my family and
that I'm going to have a job, you know, And
I think that's the job of President Trump and the

(05:47):
Republicans right now.

Speaker 2 (05:48):
Create a bill that helps everyone.

Speaker 3 (05:50):
Create a bill that helps the economy, that grows the
economy and provides opportunity for everyone.

Speaker 1 (05:54):
You have been in sports for a long time. I
saw you weigh in on this. We talked about it
earlier the week on the show. She sense apologized, what
did you think when Simone Biles went after Riley Gaines?

Speaker 3 (06:05):
Obviously you know she didn't have the full concept of
what she was talking about, because now she's pulled back
those comments.

Speaker 2 (06:12):
You know, But as a dad who coached his daughter's.

Speaker 3 (06:14):
High school girls high school soccer team, you know, they
didn't have a girls team when my daughter was going
into high school, I'm like, that's ridiculous. They said, well,
we need a coach. I said, I'll coach the team.
So we started the team. You know, five years later,
we win a state championship. But watching those girls and
what they accomplished and the opportunities they had and those
life lessons, I don't want that taken away from any
single girl because a guy decides I want to play

(06:35):
in girls sports and the argument that they're not biologically
better is absolutely ridiculous.

Speaker 2 (06:42):
It's completely devoid for any rational thinking.

Speaker 1 (06:45):
And this is important, all right. This is innie I
wanted to dig into since you sat down with us.
Clay thinks that in his current state, he could go
one v one against a w NBA player.

Speaker 2 (06:57):
Okay, inside, excuse me, I I.

Speaker 1 (07:01):
Just I don't want him thinking that I'm gonna break
down Caitlyn already hedging.

Speaker 2 (07:04):
Okay, he's pretty hedging.

Speaker 1 (07:06):
But but he thinks that he could, you know, old
man style, use that use that wide body and back
back or down and can you shoot game to eleven?

Speaker 2 (07:15):
That was a pretty good shooter. I didn't say now
you said in the past ten. I'm saying what you say.

Speaker 1 (07:21):
Clay thinks game to eleven he can take Angel Reese
and has put up a quarter of a million dollars.

Speaker 2 (07:27):
I want to see it. I mean the idea I.

Speaker 1 (07:29):
Would see what I would too. Would you back his player?
Would you hedge against our man?

Speaker 2 (07:34):
Clay?

Speaker 3 (07:35):
I think I could go and I could take on
the women's US national team in soccer, right now at
forty nine years old as well.

Speaker 1 (07:41):
I think I could go out there and play with them.
Probably could, I mean could dominate with your with your yeah,
your voice athletes, vocal board studs. So your question is
an important one that So the only recent basketball play
I have had was against my eighth grade son. Now
he's a pretty good basketball player, but he's probably five

(08:03):
eight five nine, so I'm bigger than him and I
beat He's going to be so disappointed that I said
this publicly to millions of people. I beat him head
to head in the backyard.

Speaker 2 (08:11):
Now.

Speaker 1 (08:12):
Uh, he was really upset that that I beat him.
So that's the last time job. Some people are like, hey,
I'll let him win. I was like, no, I'm going
to make him work. Now he's had about three or
four months since then where he has continued on the
swing and the dad's definitely on the downswing. And the
last time I played, I don't know if you know
this in a competitive game, and this is a sad thing,

(08:34):
but they have like Warrior basketball leagues and I played
I probably seven or eight years ago in Nashville. And
I do remember Buck, which is why I'm saying inside
not I remember being in a defensive crouch and not
a great basketball player against me crossed me over and
I was like, well, he's going to cross me over,
I should take a step to the side. So I'm

(08:55):
still in front of him, and I just didn't move,
you know, like were you having mine in the body?

Speaker 2 (08:59):
Were alive?

Speaker 1 (09:00):
I knew what I knew what I should do. I
was like, all right, he's taking me the right. Now
he's gonna come back to the left. And I was like,
I should just step over. And there are montages already
in the heads of the audience where you've seen Rocky.
I'm gonna be on the bicycle next to Clay telling him,
you know, if he if he gets this Angel Reese
showdown that he wants. I got to train them my

(09:21):
eighth grade son's basketball team. They're rising ninth graders now,
they're pretty good, and they were like, hey, we will
train you.

Speaker 2 (09:27):
So I play with LPGA girls and golf. Yes, there's
a couple of members that will I'll play with them
and I can beat them when I play well. And
I'm a two so not great, you know, but like
when I play one, I putt well, I can beat
them head to head. That's from playing from the men's tas.
I'm playing the exact same teas right all the way back.

Speaker 5 (09:44):
Right.

Speaker 3 (09:44):
So if you take a dude, you know, like here
my son is out here is twenty two. He's a
two as well, but he hits it like three fifty.
You know, if he decided I want to play in
the LPGA Tour and I'm going to identify as a woman.

Speaker 2 (09:54):
Yeah, it's it's ridiculous.

Speaker 3 (09:55):
Yeah, you know, they would dominate that tour, just like
Serena Williams saying, Hey, if I played, you know, the
fiftieth or one hundredth threake, man like, I'd get my
butt kicked.

Speaker 2 (10:02):
I might.

Speaker 1 (10:02):
I might have to bring your services as an announcer
into the mix if we do this, Clay angel Rey,
show out.

Speaker 2 (10:10):
This proper go Yeah, yeah, I will.

Speaker 1 (10:12):
By the way, the athletes white, black, Asian Hispanic men
in particular, athletes guys who even played high school, college,
or pro Are there any guys that actually think this
is okay that you've ever met of any background?

Speaker 3 (10:28):
I don't think rational men. Do you know you talk
about a locker room. We talked about this last time.
I think maybe five percent less than five percent, because
you know how special sports is, and you know the
impact that it has on people's lives and how it
can change the direction of someone's life.

Speaker 2 (10:43):
And I think that's what makes it so special, and
you want to protect that for women.

Speaker 3 (10:47):
It's not saying that I don't love somebody who's transgender,
I don't want to see them happy.

Speaker 2 (10:51):
That's not it at all.

Speaker 3 (10:51):
You're saying, hey, let's protect sports for women and make
sure that we're not taking something away an accomplishment for
somebody because some guy says I want to come in
women's swimming or I want to compete in a women's sports.

Speaker 2 (11:03):
Just not right. It's not fair, and it's not safe.

Speaker 1 (11:05):

All right, welcome back in. It was fun to talk
to you to Jay Feely.

Speaker 1 (12:37):
You know, for me, Clay, I always think of him
as somebody who did very well for me in my
Madden playing days.

Speaker 2 (12:42):
So he was pretty fantastic back in the could get
it done.

Speaker 1 (12:45):
Can you imagine getting wrecked by him on every now
and then getting wrecked.

Speaker 2 (12:48):
By the kicker is a tough fore, that's tough to
a lot.

Speaker 1 (12:50):
But I I actually looked up some of the clips
and sure enough he could, uh fIF he could lay
somebody out, lay.

Speaker 2 (12:55):
Somebody's He's a thick. He's a big guy.

Speaker 1 (12:57):
Yeah, yeah, no doubt. He's not like some skiddy ye're
and soccer kicker. You know what I'm saying. He actually
got some ft. We got a lot of talkbacks coming

to get your calls eight hundred two A two two
eight A two talkbacks. We'd like to remind you it's
the little micro Okay, first, go to the iHeart app.

Speaker 2 (13:13):
You need to have that.

Speaker 1 (13:14):
Go to the Clay and Buck page on the iHeartRadio app,
press the little microphone and that way you send it
into us.

Speaker 2 (13:21):
We see them all, we hear them all. We play
as many as we can.

Speaker 1 (13:24):
Let's get aa podcast listener Shower up from Clay's hometown
in Nashville.

Speaker 2 (13:29):
Play it Hi, clan Bucks, This is sheriff from Nashville.

Speaker 6 (13:32):
I am actually a flute player that has a plute
performance degree. And Clay, I think you're missing the obvious
here about why men would choose the flute. They get
to sit in a section with all women. I mean,
what a great way to pick up chicks. I just
can't believe that you missed that take on this.

Speaker 1 (13:52):
She's got She's got a point here, Clay. I mean,
if you want to be the guy.

Speaker 7 (13:56):
If you're the you know, the single guy who's in
with all the ladies playing the flutes, you just got
to flex those flute muscles and they come right to you.

Speaker 2 (14:04):
Are we overlook first of all, I appreciate the talk back.

Speaker 1 (14:07):
Are we overlooking the fact that she said she had
a flute performance degree.

Speaker 2 (14:12):
That's a good point. I didn't know that was the thing.

Speaker 1 (14:14):
I understand people can major in music and that there
are different aspects of music. I didn't know that you
could so specifically flute performed degree. Well, she might might
be a professional floutist, and so that's a way of
certifying her professionalism on the flout. If you have a son, now,
if he came to you as Donald Trump's son, Donald

(14:35):
Trump said his dad, If he said, Dad, I've decided
I'm going to go to college. By the time your
son is going off to college, it's probably going to
be one hundred k a year, God knows what it's
going to cost. And he said, so, I need you, dad,
to spend several hundred k for me to get.

Speaker 2 (14:50):
A flute degree. How do you think that would set
with you?

Speaker 1 (14:55):
Because I think you I know, I'll tell you I
want my kids to be as successful as p possible.

Speaker 2 (15:01):
Several hundred thousand dollars for a flute degree. I don't think.
I don't think I'm stroking the check.

Speaker 1 (15:05):
Well, Clay, you don't appreciate the woodwinds of the orchestra
to be I don't think any woodwind instrument. If you
told me you were going to go to college and
major in the horn, I'd be like, I just there's something.
I'll tell you something. Do you go after the flute?
With all this gusto my college roommate. True story, high
level tuba player, and I feel like you know, tuba

(15:28):
is a whole other level personally. But if you want
to go after the flute as the single least sexy
instrument that you could play the orchestra, I will say,
I've never met a male harpist that I remember. I
did play a classical instrument. Nobody knows what it is.
I did play a classical instrument. I played at a
pretty high level. So I'm a familiar with this world,
you know. It Just funny you mentioned that, and there's

(15:49):
probably people out there. I think the Mormon faith way
over index is for.

Speaker 2 (15:57):
Heart players. And I actually have a friend.

Speaker 1 (16:00):
I thought you were gonna say that Mormons all played
the flute, and I was gonna, well, I don't know
about a bomb about that, I don't know, but I'm
thinking that of religious faiths, the Mormons are the greatest
harp chord players. Wait, harper, harpsichord, different thing, different things.
Oh yes, Clay, Yes, what is the huge one?

Speaker 5 (16:16):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (16:16):
This philistine? I'm so sorry. It's all the harps of
chord players. The huge big thing you think of that,
you know, angels or that, Yeah, that's the.

Speaker 2 (16:24):
Harpy harp chord.

Speaker 1 (16:26):
I have a friend from Salt Lake City who is Mormon,
and she has a monster harp and it's an amazing instrument.
Like I sat there, they played it, and I didn't
expect that I would ever see someone play a harp
in person unless I was dead and going to heaven
and uh and hopefully I will one day there. But
we're gonna go on before Clay insults anymore.

Speaker 2 (16:48):
A classical musician is this. I think the Mormons love
the harp with his philistine ways.

Speaker 1 (16:53):
Uh CC podcast listener Todd in Tallahassee my home state
of Florida.

Speaker 5 (16:57):
Play it, man, I think you're going for the low
hanging fruit with this beating female basketball player. Want to
impress me?

Speaker 2 (17:06):
I think if you can do it.

Speaker 5 (17:08):
Shirtless while playing a flute and signing a hundred of
your books, you get me to raise my eyebrows.

Speaker 1 (17:15):
Love you, guys, we love you too. Tell I play shirtless.
Play Hey, I don't. He's been working out. I don't
think anybody needs to see. He's been doing just smoothies.
He's on the regimen.

Speaker 2 (17:25):
I did just need to I have'm been just being smoothies.

Speaker 1 (17:27):
But I will say, Todd in Tallahassee, was he just
sitting around thinking about me shirtless?

Speaker 4 (17:33):
For it?

Speaker 1 (17:35):
It's like all the things you could have an opinion. Oy, hey,
and Todd is like, you know what would really impress me? Clay,
you shirtless, don't. I don't know if Todd in Tallahassee,
I mean maybe he's a flute player. Every one more
here or BB Moses from San Diego play that one.

Speaker 8 (17:51):
Good morning man, congratulations on your continued success.

Speaker 4 (17:55):
Look, do all of us listeners a favor and just
summarize anytime that idiot como speaks, there has never been
a more sanctimonious and completely He is a condescending ah.

Speaker 8 (18:09):
They'll never play his voice again.

Speaker 7 (18:11):
Please, Moses, I need you to understand something. He's gonna
be the next man of New York and after he
becomes the mayor, he is going to run for president.

Speaker 1 (18:31):
Hey, Buck, one of my kids called me an unc
the other day and unk yep slang evidently for not
being hip, being an old dude. So how do we
ununk you get more people to subscribe to our YouTube channel.

Speaker 2 (18:43):
At least that's what my kids tell me. That's simple enough.
Just search the klay Travis and Buck Sexton Show and
hit the subscribe button.

Speaker 1 (18:49):
Takes less than five seconds to help ununk me.

Speaker 2 (18:52):
Do it for Clay, do it for Freedom, and get
great content while you're there the Klay, Travis and Buck
Sexton Show YouTube channel.

Speaker 1 (18:59):
Or some of your talkbacks, and you can always leave
us messages easy way to get through to the show,
and a lot of them, as regularly are the case,
are fantastic and we enjoy listening to those.

Speaker 2 (19:11):
And we've talked a little bit about the fact.

Speaker 1 (19:13):
That the New York City Mayor's race is coming up
very fast, and by mayor's race we mean when it's unfortunate,
but oftentimes, now, whoever wins the primary on the Democrat
side is going to be the mayor New York's current mayor.
For those of you have been paying Eric paying attention
Eric Adams, we don't know exactly what he's gonna do.
Maybe he's gonna run as an independent. He's not running

(19:34):
in the Democrat primary. And right now, Andrew Cuomo is
the favorite, and we talked about this and Buck does
a phenomenal Andrew Cuomo.

Speaker 2 (19:43):
Thank you.

Speaker 1 (19:45):
Buck does a phenomenal Andrew Cuomo impersonation and I'm gonna play.
This is actually crazy because as much as you may
think Andrew Cuomo is a crazy man, as much as
you may think Andrew Cuomo is not worthy of being
the mayor and buck as a former New York City resident,
born and raised, you may take this as a crazy take.

(20:09):
I actually think Andrew Cuomo is as Democrat candidates go,
maybe the rational reasonable one.

Speaker 2 (20:17):
You believe this.

Speaker 1 (20:18):
This is like being told that you have the choice
of amputating your hand or both of your legs. You know,
this is a very tough decision to be made, and
it's not a fun one no matter what. Yeah, it's
you're gonna have to chop a finger off and uh
and then which one are you gonna decide to go with? Yes,
I agree, but I want to play for you. This

(20:40):
is I believe. Team makes sure that I'm correct on this.
This is I believe considered to be again based on polling,
the top candidate against Cuomo es Zoran Mamadanni.

Speaker 2 (20:53):
Zoran Mamadanni.

Speaker 1 (20:54):
This is the guy who was endorsed by AOC recently
that we were talking about yesterday. I'm not mistaken. Listen
to this crazy town perspective that he had back in
twenty twenty, he said that police should be removed from
high crime areas all together, and that he believes cops

(21:15):
should be replaced with social workers. This is how crazy
town some of these decisions are, and this is a
top candidate to potentially be New York City mayor listen
to cut one.

Speaker 2 (21:27):
Do you think that we have to almost do without
pleasing in certain areas which our label would be in high.

Speaker 9 (21:35):
Primes to have alternative bodies.

Speaker 1 (21:38):
Theolicting in a more compassionate, more merciful, more social assistant
and helping more than arresting and putting in jail.

Speaker 9 (21:48):
I absolutely think that what we need to do is
give support and funding two institutions that are trained to
deal with these kinds of issues. As you said, if
you're having an argument with someone and there's a risk
cod escalating, who is better positioned to de escalate it
someone who is well known in the community, or someone
who has been trained specifically in de escalation, or a

(22:09):
stranger who has a gun.

Speaker 1 (22:11):
This is moronic, moronic beyond words. One of the reasons
that this will not this will not be something that
New Yorkers go for this in this election, meaning specifically
on this issue of depolicing, which is what he's what
year was I was back in Oh yeah, yeah, of
course I was going to say. He was saying this

(22:32):
because that was what the politics of the moment demanded.
As we have seen and as we know from the numbers,
the BLM movement has resulted in substantially more homicides in
this country, disproportionately affecting members of the minority community, So
more people, particularly black and brown people, dead than would
have been had they not mounted this campaign to depolice

(22:55):
these areas. And here's what's remarkable. I think about what
we've seen and what we've learned since then, not just
based on the numbers, play because of police body camps,
these arguments that are made are much more difficult, and
because of the proliferation of videos. I'll give you an example.
Here we are Washington, DC. It was actually a former
I believe a former Georgetown basketball player. The incident involved

(23:18):
as a female. Yeah, that's right, and she was a
former Georgetown University basketball player. And it was a wellness call.
So this is the perfect example, a wellness call by
a Virginia police officer to check on somebody who was
in substantial.

Speaker 2 (23:33):
Distress, right that that was the backstory.

Speaker 1 (23:36):
And when he came to the door, and it's all
on video, she grabbed a large razor sharp kitchen knife
and tried to kill him and he had to shoot her,
and he was entirely justified. It's very sad as she
clearly was having some kind of a mental breakdown. But
there's no choice here, right, I mean, if somebody attacks
you like that, you have an absolute human right, not
just a legal right, a human right to defend yourself.

Speaker 2 (23:58):
What if a social worker had been there, Well, a
social worker had been there.

Speaker 1 (24:01):
It would have been a dead body that you know, uh,
would have been unable to protect himself for herself.

Speaker 2 (24:07):
That's just one example.

Speaker 1 (24:08):
But when you look at the situations that they that
they oppose, that they talk about, oh, we need violence,
like this was the thing they used to talk about
violence interrupters. The only person that has any chance of
being a violence interrupter is somebody who is on the
side of the good guys and can do violence to
protect those who are being victimized himself or herself. There's

(24:29):
no chance that you're gonna call it together in the
moment some special uh, you know, healer of the people.
Who's just gonna be like, oh, everything's fine, guys like
put your guns down.

Speaker 2 (24:39):
And also who would want that job? Totally?

Speaker 1 (24:42):
So who would want Who would want to get called
in the middle of the night and told, Hey, there's
a super violent situation.

Speaker 2 (24:48):
Can you talk them down with no weapons?

Speaker 5 (24:50):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (24:50):
I mean, is there anybody who I don't want to
sign up for that job? You know why this is?

Speaker 1 (24:54):
I mean I remember this very much because I was
absolutely furious about what was going on in New York riot.
There was a BLM riot on my block and shattered
all the storefronts and you know, restaurants had their doors
kicked in and their windows broke in and stuff like that.
And I remember when all this is going on, they
were making these kinds of crazy arguments. It was a
real mass hysteria moment in the country.

Speaker 2 (25:14):
It's a true.

Speaker 1 (25:15):
It was part of COVID made everyone freak out, and
then the left, the street communists use this to get
everyone to go crazy. But they made these kinds of
arguments then. I don't think they can get away with
making these kinds of arguments now because we see what
actually happens and what the reality is oh. And also
when they would say things like we need violence interrupters,

(25:36):
when you would actually talk to these people, this came
out over time. It was well, I mean, I need
a cop there with me, right, Like I'm not just
showing up between the gang members who are armed, who
are about to shoot each other as if Also you
can just it's like a Batman movie where someone just
appears right when the bad guys are about to do.

Speaker 2 (25:52):
You know, that's a movie that's not reality. Right.

Speaker 1 (25:55):
The only thing that really works from a law enforcement
perspective the NYPD.

Speaker 2 (25:59):
All the data shows this is you put, if they.

Speaker 1 (26:02):
Call it, cops on dots, more cops in places where
bad things are happening, so that the you know, ninety
five percent of people who commit no crimes or ninety
nine or whatever the number is, they get to go
to work, and they get to go to the grocery store,
and they get to do things safely. And the people
that want to commit crimes have to deal with the
consequences of their action. So the point here is the
New York City mayoral candidate number two, Zora Mundati, is

(26:25):
an insane communist, and the fact that anybody would vote
for him is a total indictment of the insanity of
the Democrat electorate in New York. And this is really
going to hurt Moses from San Diego at co Go
there where we've been number one for a while, off
and on. We appreciate everybody listening in southern California. He
has asked, please don't talk about Andrew Cuomo anymore, And unfortunately,

(26:48):
I think he's going to be the mayor, and even
more unfortunately, I think he may be the best of
a series of awful choices. Listen to BB here.

Speaker 8 (26:55):
Good morning man, congratulations on your continued success. Look, I
do all of us listeners a favor and just summarize
anytime that idiot como speaks, there has never been a
more sanctimonious and completely He is a condescending ah. Don't
ever play his voice again, please, Moses.

Speaker 2 (27:17):
I feel like I do not have your vote, Moses.

Speaker 7 (27:20):
I would like to work for your vote as mayor
and as a future presidential candidate under the Democrat ticket.

Speaker 1 (27:29):
I guess Moses does not believe in Andrew Cuomo's ability
to part the Red Sea and lead him to a
primrose path of victory in our nation's largest city.

Speaker 2 (27:39):
But this is the choices we're left with.

Speaker 1 (27:42):
And I don't even know what the impact would be
if this crazy town individual ended up the mayor. I mean,
Bill de Blasio was a disaster, horrible. I mean I
built the difference between the Blasio and Adams. And remember,
I still have half of my family and my parents,
my sister. Half my family still lives in New York City,
so I'm hearing about it all the time. And our

(28:04):
team is based out of New York City on radio right.
So the thing with Bill Deblasia was that he made
the city suffer and thought it was what we deserved
in New York. Whereas Mayor Adams tried to fix it.
He's just incapable of doing it. He just isn't up
for the job. So it's a different Both of them
are not good enough at what they were trying to do.

(28:26):
But with Adams it was not that much really of
an improvement at all. So that was pretty disappointing. But
unfortunately that is the reality that we were reality that
we were facing at that time.

Speaker 2 (28:37):
So we'll see what happens. We'll get also, maybe we'll
get our buddy.

Speaker 1 (28:39):
The stage of Staten Island Joe Barelli on talk about
what's going on with this mayor's race, which is happening soon.
It's the next big election in terms of the primary.
It's going to be in the next two weeks. I
think June twenty fourth is that date, if I'm not mistaken.
Look when President Trump signed an executive order last month
slashing the cost of prescription drug prices, he was making
a point. He intends to see prescription medicine price in

(29:00):
the country same price as you might find in Canada
or throughout Europe, with the purpose of reducing medical coverage
cost in the United States, even when that fair pricing
kicks in on prescriptions not going to help improve what
you're getting now with Obamacare or the Affordable Care Act,
which is anything but affordable. They're better healthcare options out there,
like Ease for Everyone Compared to Obamacare. Ease for Everyone

(29:22):
comes with a monthly cost as low as two hundred
and sixty two dollars. You get accessed over four hundred
prescription drugs for free, not just at a lower cost,
that's no cost, zero dollars. Unlike the broken promise of Obamacare.
You can actually keep your doctor plus free unlimited virtual
primary Care. Get Affordable healthcare for as low as two
hundred and sixty two dollars a month with ease for

(29:45):
Everyone the website Ease for Everyone dot com slash clay.
That's ease foar everyone dot com slash clay.

Speaker 2 (30:01):
All right, welcome back in here.

Speaker 1 (30:03):
As we know, the California riots aren't really working out
the way that a lot of Democrats thought they would.
I think that the American people broadly see what's going on,
see the lawlessness and the rejection of the sovereignty of
the United States, and also the clear allegiance that some
of these people seem to have waving a Mexican flag.

(30:26):
You know, no matter how angry I was at the
Biden administration, I was never dancing around like waving an
Irish flag. And if I had, first all the Irish
would be like, they're not even you know, come on, buddy,
how long has it been. But besides that, or beside that,
they would have said, you're crazy, why would you do that?
I mean, it just would never occur to me. Meanwhile,
it's all over the place in southern California. Solidarity with

(30:46):
a foreign nation when you don't like what's going on
within the nation that you claim to be a part of,
and especially if you're illegal, you're actually not a part of.
But Arnold Schwarzenegger, you remember he was a quote Republican,
I mean not really, but he ran as a republic
and was governor of California, and he had a pretty
remarkable run as a bodybuilder and action star. I think

(31:08):
probably Clay can we agree on this. People might fight
with us. I think the greatest movie action star are
It's either Schwarzenegger or Stallone. You know this is you
could This is a little bit like the Jordan Lebron conversation.
I think you could make the case for either. I
still on the body of work. Best action hero of
all time is Schwarzenegger for me over Stallone?

Speaker 2 (31:29):
I would you go Stallone? You are you just doing that?

Speaker 1 (31:31):
Though no factoring in Stallone to me was more involved
in creating the action movies that he was in. Whatever
you think of Stallone, Rocky would not have happened without Stallone.
The Sports movie though that's not an action movie. Well,
but I count that as an action movie. Well, I think,
oh it's a lot of you know, I mean, just

(31:52):
because it has a heck of a great romance a tribute.

Speaker 2 (31:58):
Let's do that.

Speaker 1 (31:58):
What is the best still action movie? Because I can
give you the best for me, Predator is the best.
People would say Terminator Wan or Terminator two, which I
would take as well, But Predator, I think is the
best Schwarzenegger action movie.

Speaker 2 (32:10):
What is the best Stallone? And that would have to
be one of the Rambos, right, I don't know.

Speaker 1 (32:13):
Do you think the Rambo movies are that good? I'm
you're on your own here, buddy.

Speaker 5 (32:16):
Well.

Speaker 1 (32:17):
Stallone was a major pivot in the Rambo movies. For
people out there who remember the first Rambo was kind
of dark. Yeah, it was supposed to die at the
end of the original Rambo, Like it was not a
you know, like, hey, I've got a machine gun and
I'm gonna kill eight hundred people movie. And then they
were like, we can't kill this guy off at the end.
And then by the time you get to Rambo Part two.

(32:39):
In Rambo Part three, it actually has just turned into
he's a consummate badass and nobody can stop him. Right, Like, so,
I think in terms of great films, the Rocky movies
are actually really good film.

Speaker 2 (32:55):
I don't been you're stepping out of the genre.

Speaker 1 (32:56):
I get it this but so it's a little bit
similar with Rambo, because ram but one is actually I
would call it.

Speaker 2 (33:02):
People are gonna light me up for this.

Speaker 1 (33:04):
I would actually call it a film, like it's actually
a decent film, a film.

Speaker 2 (33:08):
You guys don't know this.

Speaker 1 (33:09):
Clay actually just put on at He's gonna say, I
have the studio him and I'm smoking that log. Yeah,
like not an actual I'm actually gonna be in France
next week. I'm gonna tell everybody you know that that
is the show. Yes, you're a sportsman, a politician, man
the best. But it is a sign of how much

(33:31):
everybody loves the culture that Trump has created that iHeart
is sending you to Can to meet with all the
advertisers like that. We've been on the air for four
years and now everybody wants to buy ads on this show.

Speaker 2 (33:45):
Uh. And we love all.

Speaker 1 (33:46):
The advertisers we've had forever, but uh, the world has changed.
When Buck's gonna be smoking cigarillos in uh in in
Can with all the with all the French people. Uh,
now I'm gonna bring us back to because we almost
we haven't even got it a Shortzenegger is well. Side
of it was a lot different, is my Yes, yes, Schwarzenegger,
this has cut seventeen.

Speaker 2 (34:04):
He said he was afraid of being deported. Play it.
First of one, let's just be honest. The whole thing
is to do with the deportation.

Speaker 4 (34:11):
Yes, of course this is a very sensitive subject to
me because when I come over to this country, I
was living.

Speaker 2 (34:18):
In fear of being too borted. Were you Yeah, because
at one point I did a movie that was so
bad that I thought that the critics sent me back
to Austin.

Speaker 1 (34:27):
You you you were worried that you were going to
be deported for creative reasons. Yeah, that's actually funny. Fun Yeah, no,
I give him. So what's your answer. By the way,
on schwarzenegger best action move Predator made Predator, which is
which is a bizarre movie that By the way, Jean
Claude van Dam was in the original Monster Alien suit

(34:51):
and it was too heavy, so they had to replace
Jean Claude van Dam before he was famous. Who was
I mean, I may have watched the entire behind the
scenes making the Predator movie because I like it that much.
John mcckiernan, who also did die Hard, which I still
think is probably the.

Speaker 2 (35:05):
Diehard best act action movie of all time.

Speaker 1 (35:07):
Yes, I think you'll see that one the same way
I would give Predator the number one Schwarzenegger movie. Although
if you say T two to me, that's a coke
PEPSI I was. I was going to argue Terminator two
because it is so good and I know the original Terminator.
I think Terminator two is one of the rare sequels
up there with Empire Strikes Back that's actually better than
the original. Interesting, by the way I got to I'm

(35:28):
may also be biased on this because I got to
meet Stallone and get my picture taken with him. And
when I met Stallone, Stallone said, man, I love everything
that you do when rock It's true, so I may
be biased. But when Rocky and Rambo walk up to
you and knows who you are and just like, hey,

(35:50):
we got to get a picture which I posted out there.

Speaker 2 (35:53):
Can I tell you what what what? Teorch yegger.

Speaker 1 (35:55):
Even though I grew up and this was like my
childhood was watching action movies out these guys probably explains
