Hour 2 kicks off with a lighthearted debate over whether Buck can serve a tennis ball at 100 mph, sparking a fun back-and-forth on athletic bets, speed guns, and personal sports anecdotes. From there, the conversation pivots sharply into politics and media bias, as Clay and Buck dissect a viral claim by a New York Times reporter dismissing D.C.’s crime crisis. The hosts slam the media’s reflexive anti-Trump stance and highlight the stark reality of violent crime in Washington, D.C., contrasting it with mainstream narratives.
The hour also dives into the Democratic Party’s identity crisis, questioning its reliance on radical left policies and cultural mandates. Clay previews his upcoming September 16th debate with Stephen A. Smith, promising a fiery discussion on sports, politics, and culture. The hosts explore why they can’t find a single Democrat policy they agree with, while analyzing Kamala Harris’s surprising appeal to white women voters in 2024 despite losing ground with nearly every other demographic.
Listeners weigh in with talkbacks, including a humorous defense of beards and a pointed comment on crime in D.C. The show then unpacks a viral rant from Bravo star Jennifer Welch, who suggested Trump supporters should be banned from multicultural restaurants—a moment Clay and Buck use to examine the anger and cultural disconnect among liberal white women. This sparks a broader critique of feminism, pop culture influences like Sex and the City, and how decades of messaging have shaped societal values. The topic inspires a candid discussion on the future of the Democratic Party, the growing shift of young men toward conservatism, and why cultural narratives matter in politics.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome.
Speaker 2 (00:01):
In our number two Wednesday edition Clay Travis buck Sexton Show,
Laura Travis has weighed in, I went downstairs during the break.
She has said that she continues to believe you cannot
hit us serve of one hundred miles an hour, but
she hopes that you can because if you can, she
wants you could get us Wimbledon tickets the next time
(00:21):
that you play.
Speaker 1 (00:22):
In the tournament.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
So the sarcasm is continuing to pour. Welcome to my
Welcome to my world. She has also weighed in in
the comments she's kind of got a free ride here
because on the steak bet front, do you know who
has to cover the steak bet?
Speaker 3 (00:37):
Me?
Speaker 2 (00:38):
So she gets all the benefits of winning a bet
with none of the none of the downside. Uh, because
her heart, you've been a little more, you've been a
little more fifty to fifty on this one. But like you,
you didn't you didn't immediately say if buck Finger and
I just want to be clear about this. Everyone has
to understand I'm not saying I'm not saying that I
serve over one hundred miles an hour when I serve,
(00:58):
I'm saying I can serve in the box over one
hundred miles an hour. If you look at google D
three tennis players whom I have played against many, many
times over the years, including when I was in college,
and you will find that they serve seventy five to
one hundred miles an hour the men on average on average,
so one the male tennis players on the tour serve
one hundred and fifteen to one hundred and twenty mile
(01:20):
an hour first serves on average. It's a lot I
can't do. I can't do that. I'm not like I'm
saying over one hundred though, o'olute. I just two hundred
dollars on a speed gun, all right, That's that's real money.
I got the fanciest speed gun you could get. Everybody,
so many doubters, so many doubtersiest speed gun. During the
commercial break, I here's the two things that I think
(01:43):
you can do it because I think you're very confident
in it. And it's a weird thing. Like when I
said I could do one hundred and eighty five. This
should be a weird thing to claim to do in
something that you do regularly to not be able to do, right,
I think you know your like for instance, now he's
kind of icing me with this a little. Now I
feel like the tables have turned, like if I can't
if I got stuck at ninety, which would be sad
(02:04):
because that would mean that I was close, but no cigar,
you know, like maybe I just I top out at
ninety miles an hour. To be clear, I'm not saying
I can do one twenty. I'm saying I could do
like one hundred and two maybe. But I regularly have
had these kind of bets my whole life. So I
said I could throw a football fifty yards, and we
when I was in law school, and nobody nobody believed me.
(02:27):
Like everybody was like, this is this is a ridiculous claim.
There's no way that you can actually do this. So
we broke into Vanderbilt. At the time, it wasn't very
hard to break in. They're like outdoor football field, and
I got forty eight yards.
Speaker 3 (02:42):
So I think you and I are both a little
similar in this regard.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
I think that, while while humble about it, I think
that we are we surprise people with the you know,
for middle aged guys.
Speaker 3 (02:53):
For the physical capabilities. Here.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
I was thinking about it too, in the context of
your speed gun, Like if you go to a baseball
game or minor league baseball, I think they stop these
because guys were just tearing their rotator cuffs.
Speaker 1 (03:07):
I haven't seen them as frequently, but.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
You know where you could go and you get they
give you a baseball and without any warm up at all,
you just stand there and try to throw it as
hard as you can. I think your average guy, like,
I think I could throw a baseball sixty miles an
hour right now, Like, I don't think that's a crazy
so when I think about you having the propulsion power
of a uh, I mean some of them are trolling
(03:29):
me like, which is fine in the comments, but the
people were saying the service sixty or seventy miles an
hour are insane. The people who are saying it might
be ninety or ninety five. I'm like, oh, that's why
I'm getting the speed gun. If you're saying sixty or seventy,
you're not good at math. Well, I mean, I'm just
thinking about it in the context of the again, the
laser on the just just throwing a ball without having
(03:49):
the ability to smack it with a racket.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
Anyway, I'm super proud.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
I want to be asking the bayers ball is heavy,
a tennis ball is like air basically, so it's very Yeah.
So this is the big debate. Now, can Buck do
it or not? Laura Travis on No, I think I'm
gonna gomm down on your side. I'm more inclined to
think that you can than can't. By the way, speaking
(04:13):
of coming down on the side, I want to play
this guy because this guy has gone viral.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
I am.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
So It's one thing for Democrats in response to Trump
saying hey, I'm going to clean up DC, for Democrats
to say, oh, we're just reflexively.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
Going to line up against him.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
But if you are an objective, honest, even somewhat rational
member of the media who spends any time at all
in DC, you would have to acknowledge that you or
your family or your significant others do worry about crime.
And if you're not worried about crime, it is Hey,
you're so rich, you have a security detail, people are
(04:54):
driving you around in a black car, and you don't
have to worry about it. This is a New York
Times reporter who said this guy, Peter Baker. He's regularly
on the front page of the New York Times for
his reporting on President Trump, he says Trump wants to
be a dictator. There's no crime crisis in DC. This
(05:16):
has cut fourteen.
Speaker 4 (05:17):
This is something that we don't see in the United States.
We fought crime for two hundred and fifty years in
the United States without turning it over to the military,
and that's something you normally see. You know, military troops
in the streets of a capital, the kind of thing
you see in other countries and autocratic countries, but autocratic
leaders who are trying to assert control and power. If
you really cared about crime and the district Columbia where
(05:38):
crime is actually down historically, if he actually care about
crime in America, there are cities with worst crime rates
than Washington, d C. He's not setting troops into there streets.
He's setting troops in the streets of the nation's capital,
which has a special residence.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
Okay, this guy I don't understand. First of all, DC
is a federal protectorate, so it is beyond a shadow
of a doubt that the president has the ability to
do this. There would be disputes, as you saw when
the president brought police and the National Guard basically state
national Guard, I think, or state guard into California. There
(06:12):
are disputes over that the president does have the authority
to do that, I believe anywhere. But the argument that
the crime isn't a problem from someone who's supposed to
be an objective journalist is embarrassing. DC has an awful
crime problem, violent crime problem, and the fact that it's
(06:34):
twice as deadly in Washington d C. As Bogata, Colombia,
three times as dangerous in Washington d C. As Mexico City. Yes,
Trump is talking about it, but Democrats want to pretend
that it isn't an issue. And I just I really
for journalists to then line up and say, well, actually
crime is not bad, I it boggles my mind that
(06:57):
they could be this dumb. It's one thing again in
for stupid Democrats to do it, but for somebody who's
supposed to be an objective journalist, I don't understand how
you could possibly make the argument he just made. It
goes to a combination of things, and one is the
the just reflexive anti trumpism. As we have discussed of
(07:18):
Chris Matthews tried to warn them about this because he's
a more old school Democrat. You knew he wasn't long
for MSNBC. Didn't they kind of did he?
Speaker 1 (07:25):
They forced him out?
Speaker 2 (07:27):
Yeah, right over because he called like he called someone
like a you know, sweetheart or something, right, didn't he
do something like that? There was yeah, And I mean yes,
I'm not saying he did anything bad. I'm just saying
that I feel like they did him a little dirty
over there, like there was some complaints that he was
a little Uh. The Democratic Party doesn't really have any
place for older white guys like that is kind of
(07:48):
what they have slowly made a parent to everyone. Is
your opinions not welcome if you are an older white
guy in the Democrat Party. And unfortunately, there's still a
lot of older whitey the vote Democrat because they bought
into that team forty years ago. And I think a
lot of them just don't pay attention because they think
of themselves as historic Democrats and they don't know what
(08:09):
the party stands for anymore. That's a really interesting question, though,
isn't it. What does the party stand for?
Speaker 3 (08:15):
What happens?
Speaker 2 (08:16):
What happens with the Democrat Party that has to face
the reality that perhaps it is facing right now, that race, communism,
and gender identity mandates don't actually win national elections anymore, well,
or maybe never did, but won't win them now for sure.
What do they do? How do you pivot from that?
It's not like you're pivoting on the tax rate, as
(08:38):
we've discussed, you're.
Speaker 3 (08:39):
Pivoting on some big stuff.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
I was thinking about this so we can mention it now.
September sixteenth, I'm debating Stephen A. Smith in New York City.
Stephen A. Smith's probably the most famous ESPN employee. We're
going to talk sports, politics, cultural issues, everything. And that was, actually,
that's gonna be really fun. Maybe we'll have fun talking
about it a little bit more or later in the show.
But actually, because of what you're saying, I was, I
(09:03):
don't know what the questions are going to be. You know,
I'm presuming that we're not going to have a Democrat
style debate where the Democrat gets the questions in advance
and then the Republicans just up there not knowing what's
going to be asked. But the question that you just asked,
I was thinking last night as I was attempting to
go to bed, what if I got asked, Hey, what
(09:24):
do you think the Democrats are doing?
Speaker 1 (09:26):
That you agree with.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
What is something because a lot of people have party
views that sometimes cross over. Historically, you're not one hundred
percent in agreement with one party. You might be ninety five,
but there might be five percent where you would look
at the other side. Can you think buck of anything
that you actually agree with of the arguments that they're making.
Speaker 1 (09:50):
I can't.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
I can't think of a single Democrat policy where I
sit back and I say, okay, strip away the politics
of it.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
Does this make sense?
Speaker 2 (10:02):
I can't even point to anything where I think to myself, hey,
you know what, this is a policy that I could
get behind. I was looking at mom Donnie's New York
City mayor race. Basically nothing that he stands. Not only
that I disagree with it, I think it's actually very
destructive to the fabric of New York City. I can't
even think of anything. And that's how lost they are
(10:26):
to not be able as a rational person to sit
and think, hey, what policies are they in favor of
as a party that maybe they're not wrong on. It
should be the case. I think if you have two
reasonable political parties that you might be ninety ten, but
there would be something where they would seize a point
(10:48):
and you would say, you know what, I think they
got a good argument there. I think historically that's been
the case. I can't even think of one. Maybe some
of you out there can think of something. I'm not
saying that you're going to vote for a Democrat. I
legitimately cannot think of a Democrat policy position where I think,
to myself, hey, you know what that actually is a rational,
(11:08):
reasonable position of the National Democrat Party. Well, I think
that they also have the problem of the people that
are going to get the attention in the meet because
what happened was the media became seeded with people who
believe in the radical left stuff, and they were elevated
certainly during the Biden years, and I think in the
(11:29):
first Trump administration too. Like I said, Jim Acosta, if
you acted like your job was to try to take
the president down as a journalist, you were promoted, right.
And then that continued through the years of Biden and
COVID and all of that and BLM, all that madness. Well,
now when they look around, it's like these are the
people who have been promoted within the company and their lunatics.
(11:51):
So there has to be a whole new set. You know,
you're hearing people who are Democrats saying sound things like
Chris Matthews on the issue of DCA crime. They're not
big names, you know, they're not people that I mean
Chris Matthews say, he's been in the business a long time.
I don't mean he's not a well known guy. But
I'm saying he's not calling the shots for the Democrat
Party at all. If anything, he's playing a lot of golf.
(12:14):
And I think that that's true in general. Now, who
gets the attention AOC from Democrats, AOC Bernie Betto.
Speaker 3 (12:25):
These people are in the looney tune section.
Speaker 2 (12:28):
I mean Gavin Newsom, you could say, tries to play
it both ways. But he's the governor of California and
he's done everything he can to ruin his state as
fast as he can. So you know, he says one
thing and does another. There's no centrist ish moderate Democrat
to bring the crazies in line, and so that's why
you get the stuff that you're getting here with Trump
on the federalization of the crime issue in DC. That's
(12:52):
why I think Ram Emmanuel is going to try to
carve that lane and be a sane man in the
Democrat Party because right now, I just I can't think
of any of them for that just makes sense going forward.
Speaker 1 (13:07):
It just doesn't add up.
Speaker 2 (13:10):
Yeah, I think it's going to be tough for Democrats
going forward. All Right, Our federal government has some funding problems,
one of the being our social security system. A bigger
percentage of our population will be a retirement age in
the future, living longer lives. That costs a lot of money.
Most of us don't get access to the spending, mistakes
and fraud that goes on with respect of Social Security spending,
but there's some It only makes the funding problems worse,
(13:31):
but there's hope for funding a solution. Jim Rickards is
a fifty year government advisor. He's got a point of
view on a possible solution. Jim Rickards is on the
record saying America is anything but broke and if investors
understand why, they can make a fortune in the months ahead.
If the Trump administration's future move in this regardless correct,
it could solve the Social Security funding problem coming down
(13:51):
the road. Jim Rickards believes that if you're over fifty,
this could be your last chance to create lasting wealth.

Speaker 3 (14:16):
All right, let's get to some talkbacks.
Speaker 2 (14:18):
Let's get to some of your wisdom from all across America.
And before we do that, also want to remind you
Crockett Coffee, my friends, go get your Crocket coffee. Coffee
for people who believe in this country, love our history,
get out there and do stuff. Maybe even play little
tennis sometimes, you know, maybe maybe. So we'll take your
(14:38):
calls here and let's do this. HH Bob in Redding, Pennsylvania.
Let's see what he's got for us, play it.
Speaker 3 (14:46):
Yeah, here we are in Pennsylvania.
Speaker 2 (14:48):
I just want to comment on your MSNBC comments that
were made about you.
Speaker 5 (14:54):
Man.
Speaker 3 (14:54):
That sounds like a plug for your show.
Speaker 1 (14:57):
If I wasn't already listening, I.
Speaker 5 (14:58):
Would be like, why, Wow, this guy really has something
to say.
Speaker 3 (15:02):
Knows what he's talking about.
Speaker 2 (15:03):
Keep up the good work there. You go play that
helps and if you missed it on MSNBC, they were
ripping me for being in favor of less people being
killed and said that that was because of my machismo,
which I do appreciate the use of the word machismo
because it makes me think that, you know, I should
be a scarface character walking around with like three.
Speaker 1 (15:27):
Buttons undone and a big gold chain.
Speaker 2 (15:29):
I don't have a lot of chest hair, but maybe
I could dress up like that for Halloween. We've got
so many great talkbacks. By the way, I was looking
at these coming into the show, Where do we want
to go into next? While Sandy is calling in, Sandy
and Turgus, what you got for us Forridge?
Speaker 5 (15:48):
You to keep the beard because my husband shaved his
beard in nineteen seventy two on Mother's Day and I
have not let him forget it to this day. His beard.
I'm sure your wife loves your beard. Don't listen to
the foolish suggestions.
Speaker 2 (16:06):
Why do you think, Sandy, I appreciate you calling in
to defend the honor of my beard. Why do you
think your husband in nineteen seventy two decided to shave
his beard on Mother's Day?
Speaker 5 (16:17):
I do not know he doesn't even know. God bless him.
He just thought, well, off shave my beard, and he did.
Speaker 2 (16:28):
And he thought that was some sort of present for you,
that was like, hey, it's Mother's Day, You're going to
get a clean shaven husband.
Speaker 5 (16:35):
I don't think his brain even went there. And I
don't think he realized how much I loved his beard.
But I think he knew I liked it, but I
don't think he knew how beautiful he looks to me
with his beard to this day. And oh, by the way,
I found out today listening to your show that men's
(16:57):
beards turn white early. My husband's in his late seventies.
He's still got blonde here, but his beard is white.
Speaker 2 (17:04):
And y Hey, Sandy, Sandy, excuse me, excuse me, Sandy
and Texas. You know what about my beard? You know, like,
should I keep my beard? You seem very very set
on beards here. Can I get.
Speaker 5 (17:18):
Everyone who can grow a beard, who has the correct
chromosomes for it, should grow it?
Speaker 2 (17:26):
Thank you for the call, Sandy, And I'm sorry that
your husband shaved the beard in nineteen seventy two. I
don't know if you've made a choice. You're young in
your marriage. My wife is still angry about the haircut
I got before our wedding. I got a bowl cut.
It's not a good look. She said, whatever you do,
don't go get a haircut. I went and got a haircut.
She said, whatever you do, don't get a bowl cut.
(17:47):
I don't know how it happened, but I showed up
with a bowl cut. She's still not happy about it.
Every wedding picture got the bowl cut. So I understand Sandy.
Look nineteen seventy two, she's still not over it. Awful decision.
What was he thinking? Just an awful decision by her husband.
Look if you're out there right now and you're thinking
to yourself, oh boy, we're coming up on Thanksgivings, believe
(18:08):
it or not, just a few months away, and then
comes Christmas and you're thinking, we can't put aunt Edna
next to cousin Sue. They will fight. They it doesn't
matter what's going on, they're gonna fight. And you are
going to be the person who is the peacemaker for
the holiday scene. What happens if you're not there to
(18:31):
make sure that your family doesn't fall apart? In fact,
what if you're not there and your family doesn't know
what you want. That's why you need a trust and
a will. We've both got them. You can get twenty
percent off right now. Go dive in and check this out.
Don't make the mistake of letting your family fight over
(18:53):
what you would like to have in the future when
you're not there to decide. Trustinwill dot com slash clay
for off, Welcome back in play. Travis buck Sexton Show
appreciated all of you hanging out with us. I wanted
to play this. I think we've rolled this over a
couple of days. I do not think we have played
it yet. But we're talking about crazy Town and this
(19:17):
is I don't think we played this right reality star
and Star is doing a lot of work there. Someone
named Jennifer Welch team. We have not played this yet, right.
She is evidently a Bravo person. And for those of
you out there, my wife watches some of these. I
bet that a large majority of women out there. Certainly,
(19:40):
if I would say I don't know, I would think
this is probably the Bravo housewife shows are probably ali.
Is it fair to say it's like women under fifty
is like the Wheelhouse, like women thirty to fifty would
be like the Bravo Perfect Real Housewives audience end up.
So this is like one of the most popular shows
for women out there. And I imagine some of you men
(20:01):
have walked through and seen the screaming fights in the
crazy town that is involved in these shows on a
regular basis. So this reporter, sorry, this Bravo star, Jennifer Welch,
evidently has a podcast and this has gone megaviral because
she said white Trump voters shouldn't be allowed to eat
(20:23):
at Mexican or Chinese restaurants. They should only be able
to go to Cracker Barrel. This is real cut twenty four.
Speaker 6 (20:33):
I've had it with white people that triple Trump, that
have the nerve and the audacity to walk into a
Mexican restaurant, a Chinese restaurant, an Indian restaurant, go to
perhaps their gay hairdresser. I don't think you should be
(20:53):
able to enjoy anything but Cracker Barrel. And if you
want a triple Trump and you want to browbeat Dee,
you want to browbeat gay people, and you want to
browbeat black people as you've been doing for four hundred years,
and you want to browbeat this generation of immigrants that
come over here and open up businesses, earnestly, pay their taxes.
(21:14):
You want to demonize them and call them rapists and
felons and all this when the felon is the teeny
weenie mushroom piece of cankles Mctaco at the top of
the ticket. I have had it from top to bottom
white people that Triple Trump should be banned, boycotted from
enjoying the best thing that America has to offer, which
(21:35):
is multi culturalism. Get your fat asses out of the
Mexican restaurant, Get your fat asses over to cracker Barrel,
because nobody wants to see your smug ass, teeny weenie
pink arm, big gut around. Nobody wants to see that.
Speaker 3 (21:51):
No one, I mean, whoa. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (21:56):
So first of all, this is I think maybe the
base of the Democrat Party now And you say, okay,
what do you mean by base of the Democrat Party. Yes,
it's ridiculous, it's outrageous what she said. But liberal white women,
if you go look at the twenty twenty four election results,
(22:17):
Kamala Harris really only improved on Joe Biden with white women.
Speaker 1 (22:23):
Think about that for a minute.
Speaker 2 (22:25):
Every group in America Kamala Harris lost ground with black men,
Hispanic men, Asian men, white men, black women, Hispanic women,
Asian women. All of them said I am moving towards
Trump in twenty twenty four, except for white women and
(22:47):
this woman. I know, Producer Ali is surrounded by women
who may not be necessarily this vulgar, but in New
York City this would be a huge part. Buck you
tried to date some of these some of these chicks
when you're a single guy. Unfortunately in New York City.
Why are they so angry at the world. I mean,
(23:10):
I think it's a really big question because they are
now the foundation of the Democrat Party. They are the
people that the Democrat Party bins the knee to responds to.
They liked Kamala more than they liked to Joe Biden.
The only group in America, and you could hear from
her such venom and by the way, not rational, because
(23:34):
if every triple Trump voter suddenly said I'm not going
to eat in Mexican restaurants anymore, do you know who
would suffer the lot of the people that are of
Mexican descent, of Hispanic descent that are working in the
restaurants and so I really do try to put myself
in their world. Why are they so angry? Buck Like,
(23:55):
why is that woman in some way represented of the
foundation of the Democrat Party bright now not just disagreeing
on policy fronts, but legitimately basing almost her entire take
on Trump voters are awful human beings and they shouldn't
(24:16):
be a part of civilized society.
Speaker 1 (24:18):
Why are they so mad? Why are they so angry?
Speaker 2 (24:19):
I really genuinely can't figure it, oh boy, deep down
into the psychology. I mean, I'm trying to think that
put my head into the crazy world they live in,
and I have difficulty even understanding why they are so angry.
I think that they have, over a period of time,
deeply bought into messaging that is going to inherently make
(24:43):
people very, very miserable over the long term. I think
that they have their the value system they should have
has been largely replaced by the leftist stuff that we
talk about, the virtue signaling, the race common meanism, the
gender identity nonsense.
Speaker 3 (25:03):
Uh and over.
Speaker 2 (25:04):
You know, there are some people whose minds are just
more easily molded by the propaganda that's all around us
all the time. I mean, there's a whole you're asking
about about white women. I mean, I think, and people
have gotten mad at me. I've been saying this for
twenty years basically, or whatever. Whenever the show ended. I
forget whenever it ended. But I mean, I think Sex
and the City was terrible for women. I think Sex
(25:25):
and the City was very bad messaging for a whole
And it's really women my age, maybe a little bit older,
for a whole generation of women because they watched that show.
And I understand it's entertainment. I know, it's very cleverly written.
I understand, you know, I like jokes too, but the
underlying message, you know, just to be clearly, it's supposed
to be.
Speaker 3 (25:44):
Fun, the underling. Look, let's understand something.
Speaker 2 (25:47):
Even before there was radio and there was television, there's
a reason political cartoons were so effective, right, there's a
reason that using artistry for political messaging. And you go
back to prop you know, propaganda during warfare and the
existence of all these different all these different methods of
(26:07):
trying to engage in shaping public perception and anyway, so
that's my roundabout way of saying with Sex and the City,
I think that there was a value system that was
elevated through that show and other things like it and
other currents in the culture. But I'm just picking on
that one right now, where you know, it's not about
something other than yourself. It's about expensive shoes, it's about
(26:30):
you know, pursuing hedonism and self actualization and all these
that actually don't mean anything. And there is a class
of white women in America who white women who are
Democrats in America to be clear, left wing democrats, who
have bought into all this stuff and are now at
the point in their lives like this woman, where there's
(26:53):
a derangement that has set in where they have to
keep believing this stuff even though observation of the world
around them would lead them to think that this is
not that they have not made good choices. It's very
think about this, like, how do you grapple with bad
life choices? And I don't just mean that in terms
of family formation or things, you know, whether you pursued
(27:13):
career at the expense of other things. I just mean
the way that you've interacted with people and saw yourself
vis a vis society. How do you go back and say, wow,
I believe in stuff that was like trash and workless.
So that's what I think. So ask me why these
women are so unhappy. That's why I think it's so unhappy.
They've been worshiping the golden calf of sex and the
city life, and it's not good. And they turn around
(27:35):
they realize why am I so miserable? Well, because you
didn't put other more important things before your own very
kind of mundane and petty desires.
Speaker 3 (27:46):
I was that too much? I don't know, I ask you.
Speaker 1 (27:50):
I think it's no.
Speaker 2 (27:51):
I mean I think it's important sometimes because I'm always
asking am I? And am I missing something? Is there
an argument? I am willing to be persuaded that I
am wrong on anything if you can provide me an
objective data point. I really struggle to understand these women.
(28:11):
And I think that clip is so outrageous that it's
funny to play, but she's not saying something that there
isn't tens of millions of white women in particular out
there who believe it. And I spent some time because
I obviously this new book that I'm writing is about
young men and the world in which they inhabit, and
(28:33):
how they've come to move so aggressively towards the Republican Party.
But I don't hear very many people talk about, Hey,
Kamala was an awful candidate, one of the worst that's
ever I think, been run by the Democrat Party, and
yet white women moved towards her. She in some way
was able to galvanize white women who showed up in
(28:54):
big numbers for Joe Biden to move even more aggressively
in favor of of in favor of Kamala. And that's
an important lesson because we've talked a lot about young
men moving and Trump gaining support with Hispanic and Black
and Asian voters, and that seems rational to me if
you're actually looking at the data. White women seem to
(29:17):
have spun off into a whole world where the choices
that they're making and the arguments that they are even
being willing to embrace is totally nonsensical. And I think
it's important to recognize that these people are out there
and think about they basically are destroying the Democrat Party
(29:40):
because they're the foundation of the Democrat Party. Imagine imagine
that you are a Democrat and that woman is leading
the charge for your party. How do you make her happy?
I think your sex and the City argument is a
good one.
Speaker 1 (29:55):
Buck.
Speaker 2 (29:56):
I in my book, I argue that if you went
back to like nineteen sixty five and you told a
single man what was the ideal world that you would
want to create, Feminism in the last fifty years has
basically created the ideal world for men. Sex was limited
(30:17):
to not work, a disposable culture of relationship where you
can constantly just sweep, sweep, swipe right, or whatever it is.
And I think these women, to your point, they made
all the choices that they think empowered them, and actually
they've managed to strip away much of their power. And
(30:37):
men are actually more powerful in their world today than
men were in nineteen sixty five. And I think it's
a counterintuitive thing. And to your point, you what happens.
I was talking to one of my buddies the other day,
you know him. We went out to dinner and he's
in the middle of a divorce and he was asking
me he had a financial question and I was like, boy,
(30:57):
this is like not a good situation.
Speaker 4 (31:00):
To be in.
Speaker 2 (31:01):
And he said, he said, and I give him credit,
he's got a great sense of humor.
Speaker 1 (31:05):
He said, totally deadpan. Yeah, I know. For the last
twenty years.
Speaker 2 (31:10):
Given a choice between a good financial decision and a
bad financial decision, he's like, I picked the bad one.
And he's like, this is where you end up when
you have good financial decision, bad financial decision, and you
pick the bad one. He's funny about it, and he's
still young enough where he's gonna be okay. But I
do think a lot of these women can't reconcile the
fact that the reason why they're unhappy is actually because
(31:33):
of the world they've created around them. And so I
think you're right. I think it's an element they have
to lash out and believe that all they have is
their moral authority and everyone else is awful but them,
and I think in reality, because there's the deep toxicity
to them, and that actually now characterizes the Democrat Party.
(31:53):
So I think the Democrat Party has to kick these
chicks to the curb in order to ever be relevant again.
And I don't think they can do it because they're
the base now. Yes, So there is a way to
think about that. Like you think you're in a tough spot,
imagine trying to make that chick happy looking for great

Speaker 3 (34:25):
Do Bob and Delaware. Bob, what have you got for us?
Speaker 7 (34:29):
Hey, longtime listener, first time caller.
Speaker 3 (34:33):
Thank you.
Speaker 7 (34:33):
Grew up in Fairfax County, Virginia. There's DC very well.
My son still lives over in the area. What I
question I would ask is why don't you ask Brian
Robinson how he feels about crime in DC? After being
carjacked and shot in the leg his rookie season. And look,
that kid's so lucky. He only missed four games of
(34:56):
his career. A couple of inches one way or the other.
He gets hit the kneecap, maybe never plays again. No
another redskin, the guy hitting his team or artery and
never made it. So why don't we ask him how
he feels about crime in DC?
Speaker 1 (35:11):
I think it's a great question.
Speaker 2 (35:12):
And again I think that Democrats are telling on themselves,
like this liberal white woman that we played the cut for.
They're if they're not afraid of crime, they live in
such police drenched areas that they don't fear for their safety,
or or they.
Speaker 1 (35:32):
Are paying for their own private security.
Speaker 2 (35:35):
I mean, if you walk around in Georgetown, it is
a very different feeling than if you walk around in
Southeast DC, and so a lot of people are telling
on themselves because they're not going to the areas where
crime is necessarily happening at a regular rate. And it
would be fascinating if we could really do this like
we could we could maybe get the people to sign
(35:58):
off on their geolocation data. I bet that most of
the people who are saying DC is safe in the
media I'm talking about now, most of those people if
you pulled their geolocation data from their phone, or you
could ask them, but you could pull it to verify
they've never been across the Anacostia River on foot and
actually spend time in Southeast DC, which is where the
(36:18):
highest prime rates are. Never once I guarantee that's true,
I would be stunned beyond belief. And by the way,
that doesn't mean that other parts of DC. Capitol Hill
is very dangerous. Still, Capitol Hill has been dangerous for
a very long time. At any moment, you could end
up in a crime of a significant danger. We'll talk
(36:40):
about that more tons of talkbacks. We will hit a
bunch of those having a good time here with all
of you on the Wednesday edition of the program. As
guess what stock market setting another high,
Welcome.
Speaker 2 (00:01):
In our number two Wednesday edition Clay Travis buck Sexton Show,
Laura Travis has weighed in, I went downstairs during the break.
She has said that she continues to believe you cannot
hit us serve of one hundred miles an hour, but
she hopes that you can because if you can, she
wants you could get us Wimbledon tickets the next time
(00:21):
that you play.
Speaker 1 (00:22):
In the tournament.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
So the sarcasm is continuing to pour. Welcome to my
Welcome to my world. She has also weighed in in
the comments she's kind of got a free ride here
because on the steak bet front, do you know who
has to cover the steak bet?
Speaker 3 (00:37):
Me?
Speaker 2 (00:38):
So she gets all the benefits of winning a bet
with none of the none of the downside. Uh, because
her heart, you've been a little more, you've been a
little more fifty to fifty on this one. But like you,
you didn't you didn't immediately say if buck Finger and
I just want to be clear about this. Everyone has
to understand I'm not saying I'm not saying that I
serve over one hundred miles an hour when I serve,
(00:58):
I'm saying I can serve in the box over one
hundred miles an hour. If you look at google D
three tennis players whom I have played against many, many
times over the years, including when I was in college,
and you will find that they serve seventy five to
one hundred miles an hour the men on average on average,
so one the male tennis players on the tour serve
one hundred and fifteen to one hundred and twenty mile
(01:20):
an hour first serves on average. It's a lot I
can't do. I can't do that. I'm not like I'm
saying over one hundred though, o'olute. I just two hundred
dollars on a speed gun, all right, That's that's real money.
I got the fanciest speed gun you could get. Everybody,
so many doubters, so many doubtersiest speed gun. During the
commercial break, I here's the two things that I think
(01:43):
you can do it because I think you're very confident
in it. And it's a weird thing. Like when I
said I could do one hundred and eighty five. This
should be a weird thing to claim to do in
something that you do regularly to not be able to do, right,
I think you know your like for instance, now he's
kind of icing me with this a little. Now I
feel like the tables have turned, like if I can't
if I got stuck at ninety, which would be sad
(02:04):
because that would mean that I was close, but no cigar,
you know, like maybe I just I top out at
ninety miles an hour. To be clear, I'm not saying
I can do one twenty. I'm saying I could do
like one hundred and two maybe. But I regularly have
had these kind of bets my whole life. So I
said I could throw a football fifty yards, and we
when I was in law school, and nobody nobody believed me.
(02:27):
Like everybody was like, this is this is a ridiculous claim.
There's no way that you can actually do this. So
we broke into Vanderbilt. At the time, it wasn't very
hard to break in. They're like outdoor football field, and
I got forty eight yards.
Speaker 3 (02:42):
So I think you and I are both a little
similar in this regard.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
I think that, while while humble about it, I think
that we are we surprise people with the you know,
for middle aged guys.
Speaker 3 (02:53):
For the physical capabilities. Here.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
I was thinking about it too, in the context of
your speed gun, Like if you go to a baseball
game or minor league baseball, I think they stop these
because guys were just tearing their rotator cuffs.
Speaker 1 (03:07):
I haven't seen them as frequently, but.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
You know where you could go and you get they
give you a baseball and without any warm up at all,
you just stand there and try to throw it as
hard as you can. I think your average guy, like,
I think I could throw a baseball sixty miles an
hour right now, Like, I don't think that's a crazy
so when I think about you having the propulsion power
of a uh, I mean some of them are trolling
(03:29):
me like, which is fine in the comments, but the
people were saying the service sixty or seventy miles an
hour are insane. The people who are saying it might
be ninety or ninety five. I'm like, oh, that's why
I'm getting the speed gun. If you're saying sixty or seventy,
you're not good at math. Well, I mean, I'm just
thinking about it in the context of the again, the
laser on the just just throwing a ball without having
(03:49):
the ability to smack it with a racket.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
Anyway, I'm super proud.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
I want to be asking the bayers ball is heavy,
a tennis ball is like air basically, so it's very Yeah.
So this is the big debate. Now, can Buck do
it or not? Laura Travis on No, I think I'm
gonna gomm down on your side. I'm more inclined to
think that you can than can't. By the way, speaking
(04:13):
of coming down on the side, I want to play
this guy because this guy has gone viral.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
I am.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
So It's one thing for Democrats in response to Trump
saying hey, I'm going to clean up DC, for Democrats
to say, oh, we're just reflexively.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
Going to line up against him.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
But if you are an objective, honest, even somewhat rational
member of the media who spends any time at all
in DC, you would have to acknowledge that you or
your family or your significant others do worry about crime.
And if you're not worried about crime, it is Hey,
you're so rich, you have a security detail, people are
(04:54):
driving you around in a black car, and you don't
have to worry about it. This is a New York
Times reporter who said this guy, Peter Baker. He's regularly
on the front page of the New York Times for
his reporting on President Trump, he says Trump wants to
be a dictator. There's no crime crisis in DC. This
(05:16):
has cut fourteen.
Speaker 4 (05:17):
This is something that we don't see in the United States.
We fought crime for two hundred and fifty years in
the United States without turning it over to the military,
and that's something you normally see. You know, military troops
in the streets of a capital, the kind of thing
you see in other countries and autocratic countries, but autocratic
leaders who are trying to assert control and power. If
you really cared about crime and the district Columbia where
(05:38):
crime is actually down historically, if he actually care about
crime in America, there are cities with worst crime rates
than Washington, d C. He's not setting troops into there streets.
He's setting troops in the streets of the nation's capital,
which has a special residence.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
Okay, this guy I don't understand. First of all, DC
is a federal protectorate, so it is beyond a shadow
of a doubt that the president has the ability to
do this. There would be disputes, as you saw when
the president brought police and the National Guard basically state
national Guard, I think, or state guard into California. There
(06:12):
are disputes over that the president does have the authority
to do that, I believe anywhere. But the argument that
the crime isn't a problem from someone who's supposed to
be an objective journalist is embarrassing. DC has an awful
crime problem, violent crime problem, and the fact that it's
(06:34):
twice as deadly in Washington d C. As Bogata, Colombia,
three times as dangerous in Washington d C. As Mexico City. Yes,
Trump is talking about it, but Democrats want to pretend
that it isn't an issue. And I just I really
for journalists to then line up and say, well, actually
crime is not bad, I it boggles my mind that
(06:57):
they could be this dumb. It's one thing again in
for stupid Democrats to do it, but for somebody who's
supposed to be an objective journalist, I don't understand how
you could possibly make the argument he just made. It
goes to a combination of things, and one is the
the just reflexive anti trumpism. As we have discussed of
(07:18):
Chris Matthews tried to warn them about this because he's
a more old school Democrat. You knew he wasn't long
for MSNBC. Didn't they kind of did he?
Speaker 1 (07:25):
They forced him out?
Speaker 2 (07:27):
Yeah, right over because he called like he called someone
like a you know, sweetheart or something, right, didn't he
do something like that? There was yeah, And I mean yes,
I'm not saying he did anything bad. I'm just saying
that I feel like they did him a little dirty
over there, like there was some complaints that he was
a little Uh. The Democratic Party doesn't really have any
place for older white guys like that is kind of
(07:48):
what they have slowly made a parent to everyone. Is
your opinions not welcome if you are an older white
guy in the Democrat Party. And unfortunately, there's still a
lot of older whitey the vote Democrat because they bought
into that team forty years ago. And I think a
lot of them just don't pay attention because they think
of themselves as historic Democrats and they don't know what
(08:09):
the party stands for anymore. That's a really interesting question, though,
isn't it. What does the party stand for?
Speaker 3 (08:15):
What happens?
Speaker 2 (08:16):
What happens with the Democrat Party that has to face
the reality that perhaps it is facing right now, that race, communism,
and gender identity mandates don't actually win national elections anymore, well,
or maybe never did, but won't win them now for sure.
What do they do? How do you pivot from that?
It's not like you're pivoting on the tax rate, as
(08:38):
we've discussed, you're.
Speaker 3 (08:39):
Pivoting on some big stuff.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
I was thinking about this so we can mention it now.
September sixteenth, I'm debating Stephen A. Smith in New York City.
Stephen A. Smith's probably the most famous ESPN employee. We're
going to talk sports, politics, cultural issues, everything. And that was, actually,
that's gonna be really fun. Maybe we'll have fun talking
about it a little bit more or later in the show.
But actually, because of what you're saying, I was, I
(09:03):
don't know what the questions are going to be. You know,
I'm presuming that we're not going to have a Democrat
style debate where the Democrat gets the questions in advance
and then the Republicans just up there not knowing what's
going to be asked. But the question that you just asked,
I was thinking last night as I was attempting to
go to bed, what if I got asked, Hey, what
(09:24):
do you think the Democrats are doing?
Speaker 1 (09:26):
That you agree with.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
What is something because a lot of people have party
views that sometimes cross over. Historically, you're not one hundred
percent in agreement with one party. You might be ninety five,
but there might be five percent where you would look
at the other side. Can you think buck of anything
that you actually agree with of the arguments that they're making.
Speaker 1 (09:50):
I can't.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
I can't think of a single Democrat policy where I
sit back and I say, okay, strip away the politics
of it.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
Does this make sense?
Speaker 2 (10:02):
I can't even point to anything where I think to myself, hey,
you know what, this is a policy that I could
get behind. I was looking at mom Donnie's New York
City mayor race. Basically nothing that he stands. Not only
that I disagree with it, I think it's actually very
destructive to the fabric of New York City. I can't
even think of anything. And that's how lost they are
(10:26):
to not be able as a rational person to sit
and think, hey, what policies are they in favor of
as a party that maybe they're not wrong on. It
should be the case. I think if you have two
reasonable political parties that you might be ninety ten, but
there would be something where they would seize a point
(10:48):
and you would say, you know what, I think they
got a good argument there. I think historically that's been
the case. I can't even think of one. Maybe some
of you out there can think of something. I'm not
saying that you're going to vote for a Democrat. I
legitimately cannot think of a Democrat policy position where I think,
to myself, hey, you know what that actually is a rational,
(11:08):
reasonable position of the National Democrat Party. Well, I think
that they also have the problem of the people that
are going to get the attention in the meet because
what happened was the media became seeded with people who
believe in the radical left stuff, and they were elevated
certainly during the Biden years, and I think in the
(11:29):
first Trump administration too. Like I said, Jim Acosta, if
you acted like your job was to try to take
the president down as a journalist, you were promoted, right.
And then that continued through the years of Biden and
COVID and all of that and BLM, all that madness. Well,
now when they look around, it's like these are the
people who have been promoted within the company and their lunatics.
(11:51):
So there has to be a whole new set. You know,
you're hearing people who are Democrats saying sound things like
Chris Matthews on the issue of DCA crime. They're not
big names, you know, they're not people that I mean
Chris Matthews say, he's been in the business a long time.
I don't mean he's not a well known guy. But
I'm saying he's not calling the shots for the Democrat
Party at all. If anything, he's playing a lot of golf.
(12:14):
And I think that that's true in general. Now, who
gets the attention AOC from Democrats, AOC Bernie Betto.
Speaker 3 (12:25):
These people are in the looney tune section.
Speaker 2 (12:28):
I mean Gavin Newsom, you could say, tries to play
it both ways. But he's the governor of California and
he's done everything he can to ruin his state as
fast as he can. So you know, he says one
thing and does another. There's no centrist ish moderate Democrat
to bring the crazies in line, and so that's why
you get the stuff that you're getting here with Trump
on the federalization of the crime issue in DC. That's
(12:52):
why I think Ram Emmanuel is going to try to
carve that lane and be a sane man in the
Democrat Party because right now, I just I can't think
of any of them for that just makes sense going forward.
Speaker 1 (13:07):
It just doesn't add up.
Speaker 2 (13:10):
Yeah, I think it's going to be tough for Democrats
going forward. All Right, Our federal government has some funding problems,
one of the being our social security system. A bigger
percentage of our population will be a retirement age in
the future, living longer lives. That costs a lot of money.
Most of us don't get access to the spending, mistakes
and fraud that goes on with respect of Social Security spending,
but there's some It only makes the funding problems worse,
(13:31):
but there's hope for funding a solution. Jim Rickards is
a fifty year government advisor. He's got a point of
view on a possible solution. Jim Rickards is on the
record saying America is anything but broke and if investors
understand why, they can make a fortune in the months ahead.
If the Trump administration's future move in this regardless correct,
it could solve the Social Security funding problem coming down
(13:51):

Speaker 3 (14:16):
All right, let's get to some talkbacks.
Speaker 2 (14:18):
Let's get to some of your wisdom from all across America.
And before we do that, also want to remind you
Crockett Coffee, my friends, go get your Crocket coffee. Coffee

(14:38):
calls here and let's do this. HH Bob in Redding, Pennsylvania.
Let's see what he's got for us, play it.
Speaker 3 (14:46):
Yeah, here we are in Pennsylvania.
Speaker 2 (14:48):
I just want to comment on your MSNBC comments that
were made about you.
Speaker 5 (14:54):
Man.
Speaker 3 (14:54):
That sounds like a plug for your show.
Speaker 1 (14:57):
If I wasn't already listening, I.
Speaker 5 (14:58):
Would be like, why, Wow, this guy really has something
to say.
Speaker 3 (15:02):
Knows what he's talking about.
Speaker 2 (15:03):
Keep up the good work there. You go play that
helps and if you missed it on MSNBC, they were
ripping me for being in favor of less people being
killed and said that that was because of my machismo,
which I do appreciate the use of the word machismo
because it makes me think that, you know, I should
be a scarface character walking around with like three.
Speaker 1 (15:27):
Buttons undone and a big gold chain.
Speaker 2 (15:29):
I don't have a lot of chest hair, but maybe
I could dress up like that for Halloween. We've got
so many great talkbacks. By the way, I was looking
at these coming into the show, Where do we want
to go into next? While Sandy is calling in, Sandy
and Turgus, what you got for us Forridge?
Speaker 5 (15:48):
You to keep the beard because my husband shaved his
beard in nineteen seventy two on Mother's Day and I
have not let him forget it to this day. His beard.
I'm sure your wife loves your beard. Don't listen to
the foolish suggestions.
Speaker 2 (16:06):
Why do you think, Sandy, I appreciate you calling in
to defend the honor of my beard. Why do you
think your husband in nineteen seventy two decided to shave
his beard on Mother's Day?
Speaker 5 (16:17):
I do not know he doesn't even know. God bless him.
He just thought, well, off shave my beard, and he did.
Speaker 2 (16:28):
And he thought that was some sort of present for you,
that was like, hey, it's Mother's Day, You're going to
get a clean shaven husband.
Speaker 5 (16:35):
I don't think his brain even went there. And I
don't think he realized how much I loved his beard.
But I think he knew I liked it, but I
don't think he knew how beautiful he looks to me
with his beard to this day. And oh, by the way,
I found out today listening to your show that men's
(16:57):
beards turn white early. My husband's in his late seventies.
He's still got blonde here, but his beard is white.
Speaker 2 (17:04):
And y Hey, Sandy, Sandy, excuse me, excuse me, Sandy
and Texas. You know what about my beard? You know, like,
should I keep my beard? You seem very very set
on beards here. Can I get.
Speaker 5 (17:18):
Everyone who can grow a beard, who has the correct
chromosomes for it, should grow it?
Speaker 2 (17:26):
Thank you for the call, Sandy, And I'm sorry that
your husband shaved the beard in nineteen seventy two. I
don't know if you've made a choice. You're young in
your marriage. My wife is still angry about the haircut
I got before our wedding. I got a bowl cut.
It's not a good look. She said, whatever you do,
don't go get a haircut. I went and got a haircut.
She said, whatever you do, don't get a bowl cut.
(17:47):
I don't know how it happened, but I showed up
with a bowl cut. She's still not happy about it.
Every wedding picture got the bowl cut. So I understand Sandy.
Look nineteen seventy two, she's still not over it. Awful decision.
What was he thinking? Just an awful decision by her husband.
Look if you're out there right now and you're thinking
to yourself, oh boy, we're coming up on Thanksgivings, believe
(18:08):
it or not, just a few months away, and then
comes Christmas and you're thinking, we can't put aunt Edna
next to cousin Sue. They will fight. They it doesn't
matter what's going on, they're gonna fight. And you are
going to be the person who is the peacemaker for
the holiday scene. What happens if you're not there to
(18:31):
make sure that your family doesn't fall apart? In fact,
what if you're not there and your family doesn't know
what you want. That's why you need a trust and
a will. We've both got them. You can get twenty
percent off right now. Go dive in and check this out.
Don't make the mistake of letting your family fight over
(18:53):
what you would like to have in the future when
you're not there to decide. Trustinwill dot com slash clay
for off, Welcome back in play. Travis buck Sexton Show
appreciated all of you hanging out with us. I wanted
to play this. I think we've rolled this over a
couple of days. I do not think we have played
it yet. But we're talking about crazy Town and this
(19:17):
is I don't think we played this right reality star
and Star is doing a lot of work there. Someone
named Jennifer Welch team. We have not played this yet, right.
She is evidently a Bravo person. And for those of
you out there, my wife watches some of these. I
bet that a large majority of women out there. Certainly,
(19:40):
if I would say I don't know, I would think
this is probably the Bravo housewife shows are probably ali.
Is it fair to say it's like women under fifty
is like the Wheelhouse, like women thirty to fifty would
be like the Bravo Perfect Real Housewives audience end up.
So this is like one of the most popular shows
for women out there. And I imagine some of you men
(20:01):
have walked through and seen the screaming fights in the
crazy town that is involved in these shows on a
regular basis. So this reporter, sorry, this Bravo star, Jennifer Welch,
evidently has a podcast and this has gone megaviral because
she said white Trump voters shouldn't be allowed to eat
(20:23):
at Mexican or Chinese restaurants. They should only be able
to go to Cracker Barrel. This is real cut twenty four.
Speaker 6 (20:33):
I've had it with white people that triple Trump, that
have the nerve and the audacity to walk into a
Mexican restaurant, a Chinese restaurant, an Indian restaurant, go to
perhaps their gay hairdresser. I don't think you should be
(20:53):
able to enjoy anything but Cracker Barrel. And if you
want a triple Trump and you want to browbeat Dee,
you want to browbeat gay people, and you want to
browbeat black people as you've been doing for four hundred years,
and you want to browbeat this generation of immigrants that
come over here and open up businesses, earnestly, pay their taxes.
(21:14):
You want to demonize them and call them rapists and
felons and all this when the felon is the teeny
weenie mushroom piece of cankles Mctaco at the top of
the ticket. I have had it from top to bottom
white people that Triple Trump should be banned, boycotted from
enjoying the best thing that America has to offer, which
(21:35):
is multi culturalism. Get your fat asses out of the
Mexican restaurant, Get your fat asses over to cracker Barrel,
because nobody wants to see your smug ass, teeny weenie
pink arm, big gut around. Nobody wants to see that.
Speaker 3 (21:51):
No one, I mean, whoa. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (21:56):
So first of all, this is I think maybe the
base of the Democrat Party now And you say, okay,
what do you mean by base of the Democrat Party. Yes,
it's ridiculous, it's outrageous what she said. But liberal white women,
if you go look at the twenty twenty four election results,
(22:17):
Kamala Harris really only improved on Joe Biden with white women.
Speaker 1 (22:23):
Think about that for a minute.
Speaker 2 (22:25):
Every group in America Kamala Harris lost ground with black men,
Hispanic men, Asian men, white men, black women, Hispanic women,
Asian women. All of them said I am moving towards
Trump in twenty twenty four, except for white women and
(22:47):
this woman. I know, Producer Ali is surrounded by women
who may not be necessarily this vulgar, but in New
York City this would be a huge part. Buck you
tried to date some of these some of these chicks
when you're a single guy. Unfortunately in New York City.
Why are they so angry at the world. I mean,
(23:10):
I think it's a really big question because they are
now the foundation of the Democrat Party. They are the
people that the Democrat Party bins the knee to responds to.
They liked Kamala more than they liked to Joe Biden.
The only group in America, and you could hear from
her such venom and by the way, not rational, because
(23:34):
if every triple Trump voter suddenly said I'm not going
to eat in Mexican restaurants anymore, do you know who
would suffer the lot of the people that are of
Mexican descent, of Hispanic descent that are working in the
restaurants and so I really do try to put myself
in their world. Why are they so angry? Buck Like,
(23:55):
why is that woman in some way represented of the
foundation of the Democrat Party bright now not just disagreeing
on policy fronts, but legitimately basing almost her entire take
on Trump voters are awful human beings and they shouldn't
(24:16):
be a part of civilized society.
Speaker 1 (24:18):
Why are they so mad? Why are they so angry?
Speaker 2 (24:19):
I really genuinely can't figure it, oh boy, deep down
into the psychology. I mean, I'm trying to think that
put my head into the crazy world they live in,
and I have difficulty even understanding why they are so angry.
I think that they have, over a period of time,
deeply bought into messaging that is going to inherently make
(24:43):
people very, very miserable over the long term. I think
that they have their the value system they should have
has been largely replaced by the leftist stuff that we
talk about, the virtue signaling, the race common meanism, the
gender identity nonsense.
Speaker 3 (25:03):
Uh and over.
Speaker 2 (25:04):
You know, there are some people whose minds are just
more easily molded by the propaganda that's all around us
all the time. I mean, there's a whole you're asking
about about white women. I mean, I think, and people
have gotten mad at me. I've been saying this for
twenty years basically, or whatever. Whenever the show ended. I
forget whenever it ended. But I mean, I think Sex
and the City was terrible for women. I think Sex
(25:25):
and the City was very bad messaging for a whole
And it's really women my age, maybe a little bit older,
for a whole generation of women because they watched that show.
And I understand it's entertainment. I know, it's very cleverly written.
I understand, you know, I like jokes too, but the
underlying message, you know, just to be clearly, it's supposed
to be.
Speaker 3 (25:44):
Fun, the underling. Look, let's understand something.
Speaker 2 (25:47):
Even before there was radio and there was television, there's
a reason political cartoons were so effective, right, there's a
reason that using artistry for political messaging. And you go
back to prop you know, propaganda during warfare and the
existence of all these different all these different methods of
(26:07):
trying to engage in shaping public perception and anyway, so
that's my roundabout way of saying with Sex and the City,
I think that there was a value system that was
elevated through that show and other things like it and
other currents in the culture. But I'm just picking on
that one right now, where you know, it's not about
something other than yourself. It's about expensive shoes, it's about
(26:30):
you know, pursuing hedonism and self actualization and all these
that actually don't mean anything. And there is a class
of white women in America who white women who are
Democrats in America to be clear, left wing democrats, who
have bought into all this stuff and are now at
the point in their lives like this woman, where there's
(26:53):
a derangement that has set in where they have to
keep believing this stuff even though observation of the world
around them would lead them to think that this is
not that they have not made good choices. It's very
think about this, like, how do you grapple with bad
life choices? And I don't just mean that in terms
of family formation or things, you know, whether you pursued
(27:13):
career at the expense of other things. I just mean
the way that you've interacted with people and saw yourself
vis a vis society. How do you go back and say, wow,
I believe in stuff that was like trash and workless.
So that's what I think. So ask me why these
women are so unhappy. That's why I think it's so unhappy.
They've been worshiping the golden calf of sex and the
city life, and it's not good. And they turn around
(27:35):
they realize why am I so miserable? Well, because you
didn't put other more important things before your own very
kind of mundane and petty desires.
Speaker 3 (27:46):
I was that too much? I don't know, I ask you.
Speaker 1 (27:50):
I think it's no.
Speaker 2 (27:51):
I mean I think it's important sometimes because I'm always
asking am I? And am I missing something? Is there
an argument? I am willing to be persuaded that I
am wrong on anything if you can provide me an
objective data point. I really struggle to understand these women.
(28:11):
And I think that clip is so outrageous that it's
funny to play, but she's not saying something that there
isn't tens of millions of white women in particular out
there who believe it. And I spent some time because
I obviously this new book that I'm writing is about
young men and the world in which they inhabit, and
(28:33):
how they've come to move so aggressively towards the Republican Party.
But I don't hear very many people talk about, Hey,
Kamala was an awful candidate, one of the worst that's
ever I think, been run by the Democrat Party, and
yet white women moved towards her. She in some way
was able to galvanize white women who showed up in
(28:54):
big numbers for Joe Biden to move even more aggressively
in favor of of in favor of Kamala. And that's
an important lesson because we've talked a lot about young
men moving and Trump gaining support with Hispanic and Black
and Asian voters, and that seems rational to me if
you're actually looking at the data. White women seem to
(29:17):
have spun off into a whole world where the choices
that they're making and the arguments that they are even
being willing to embrace is totally nonsensical. And I think
it's important to recognize that these people are out there
and think about they basically are destroying the Democrat Party
(29:40):
because they're the foundation of the Democrat Party. Imagine imagine
that you are a Democrat and that woman is leading
the charge for your party. How do you make her happy?
I think your sex and the City argument is a
good one.
Speaker 1 (29:55):
Buck.
Speaker 2 (29:56):
I in my book, I argue that if you went
back to like nineteen sixty five and you told a
single man what was the ideal world that you would
want to create, Feminism in the last fifty years has
basically created the ideal world for men. Sex was limited
(30:17):
to not work, a disposable culture of relationship where you
can constantly just sweep, sweep, swipe right, or whatever it is.
And I think these women, to your point, they made
all the choices that they think empowered them, and actually
they've managed to strip away much of their power. And
(30:37):
men are actually more powerful in their world today than
men were in nineteen sixty five. And I think it's
a counterintuitive thing. And to your point, you what happens.
I was talking to one of my buddies the other day,
you know him. We went out to dinner and he's
in the middle of a divorce and he was asking
me he had a financial question and I was like, boy,
(30:57):
this is like not a good situation.
Speaker 4 (31:00):
To be in.
Speaker 2 (31:01):
And he said, he said, and I give him credit,
he's got a great sense of humor.
Speaker 1 (31:05):
He said, totally deadpan. Yeah, I know. For the last
twenty years.
Speaker 2 (31:10):
Given a choice between a good financial decision and a
bad financial decision, he's like, I picked the bad one.
And he's like, this is where you end up when
you have good financial decision, bad financial decision, and you
pick the bad one. He's funny about it, and he's
still young enough where he's gonna be okay. But I
do think a lot of these women can't reconcile the
fact that the reason why they're unhappy is actually because
(31:33):
of the world they've created around them. And so I
think you're right. I think it's an element they have
to lash out and believe that all they have is
their moral authority and everyone else is awful but them,
and I think in reality, because there's the deep toxicity
to them, and that actually now characterizes the Democrat Party.
(31:53):
So I think the Democrat Party has to kick these
chicks to the curb in order to ever be relevant again.
And I don't think they can do it because they're
the base now. Yes, So there is a way to
think about that. Like you think you're in a tough spot,
imagine trying to make that chick happy looking for great
meat at the supermarket. We've got a better suggestion, go

Speaker 3 (34:25):

Speaker 7 (34:29):
Hey, longtime listener, first time caller.
Speaker 3 (34:33):
Thank you.
Speaker 7 (34:33):
Grew up in Fairfax County, Virginia. There's DC very well.
My son still lives over in the area. What I
question I would ask is why don't you ask Brian
Robinson how he feels about crime in DC? After being
carjacked and shot in the leg his rookie season. And look,
that kid's so lucky. He only missed four games of
(34:56):
his career. A couple of inches one way or the other.
He gets hit the kneecap, maybe never plays again. No
another redskin, the guy hitting his team or artery and
never made it. So why don't we ask him how
he feels about crime in DC?
Speaker 1 (35:11):
I think it's a great question.
Speaker 2 (35:12):
And again I think that Democrats are telling on themselves,
like this liberal white woman that we played the cut for.
They're if they're not afraid of crime, they live in
such police drenched areas that they don't fear for their safety,
or or they.
Speaker 1 (35:32):
Are paying for their own private security.
Speaker 2 (35:35):
I mean, if you walk around in Georgetown, it is
a very different feeling than if you walk around in
Southeast DC, and so a lot of people are telling
on themselves because they're not going to the areas where
crime is necessarily happening at a regular rate. And it
would be fascinating if we could really do this like
we could we could maybe get the people to sign
(35:58):
off on their geolocation data. I bet that most of
the people who are saying DC is safe in the
media I'm talking about now, most of those people if
you pulled their geolocation data from their phone, or you
could ask them, but you could pull it to verify
they've never been across the Anacostia River on foot and
actually spend time in Southeast DC, which is where the
(36:18):
highest prime rates are. Never once I guarantee that's true,
I would be stunned beyond belief. And by the way,
that doesn't mean that other parts of DC. Capitol Hill
is very dangerous. Still, Capitol Hill has been dangerous for
a very long time. At any moment, you could end
up in a crime of a significant danger. We'll talk
(36:40):
about that more tons of talkbacks. We will hit a
bunch of those having a good time here with all
of you on the Wednesday edition of the program. As
guess what stock market setting another high,
