In Hour 2 of the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show, the hosts dive deep into the final stretch of the New York City mayoral race, emphasizing the high-stakes showdown between Curtis Sliwa, Andrew Cuomo, and frontrunner Zohran Mamdani. With Election Day looming, Buck expresses skepticism about a Sliwa upset, citing historical polling data and expert analysis that suggests Mamdani’s lead is likely insurmountable. The conversation critiques Mamdani’s far-left platform, including proposals for government-run grocery stores and state control of private buildings, labeling him a “self-proclaimed socialist” and even a “communist.”
The hosts also explore the Florida real estate boom, noting migration trends from New York to South Florida, especially among affluent Northeasterners. This segment ties into broader themes of urban decline, quality of life, and economic mobility, contrasting Mamdani’s optimistic view of NYC’s future with the reality of ongoing outmigration.
Political commentary intensifies with criticism of Democratic leadership, particularly Andrew Cuomo’s COVID-era governance, which Buck calls “the worst in America.” The show also features a fiery rebuttal to Senator Alyssa Slotkin’s claims that Donald Trump is embracing authoritarianism. Buck counters by highlighting what he sees as Democratic overreach, including FBI raids, legal attacks on Trump allies, and media-driven narratives.
Guest Karol Markowicz joins to offer insights on NYC politics and cultural shifts, especially from the perspective of Russian Jewish communities in Brooklyn. She discusses the ideological divide between conservative immigrant populations and progressive enclaves like Park Slope and the Upper West Side. The conversation touches on Jewish voter trends, noting a significant shift away from Democratic candidates in recent elections.
The hour also includes lighter moments, such as listener talkbacks about Halloween candy rankings (with Reese’s Pieces crowned king and Tootsie Rolls dismissed), nostalgic references to 1990s pop culture, and updates on Clay’s travel delays from Chicago’s Midway Airport. Carol shares her family’s Halloween costumes, adding a personal touch to the segment.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome into the second hour of the Clay Travis in
Buck Sexton Show, and let's talk New York City Mayor's
race a little bit here. Look, election day is Tuesday.
It is upon us, my friend, the day of reckoning
for the Big Apple. We'll be here soon. And I
really hope that the callers who are letting up our
(00:22):
lines saying that there will be a sleewah miracle are
onto something. I would not bet money on it, but
I am hopeful. It can only happen if all of
you listening get out there are wor listeners, so so
many of you in the five boroughs, please get out there,
(00:42):
get it done, and just let's all hope and pray
that you don't have this Kami, Mom, Danni who's going
to be in charge, because it will be really bad
for the city. It's funny because on the other side
of things, way down here, about nine hundred miles else
to your south. I think that's that's one thousand miles,
(01:02):
nine hundred miles something like that. We have the Florida
real estate market. And when people are putting their money
where their mouth is, I tend to listen more. And
there is certainly a belief that real estates in particularly
South Florida. It is Ronda Santis shared this out. It's
(01:25):
kind of funny. I've learned this too since moving here.
If you are from the Midwest and you move to Florida,
particularly Chicago, Great Lakes, that whole area. If you're from
there and you move to Florida, you go on the
Gulf Coast. If you are from the Northeast, you do
the Atlantic Coast, and really from Jupiter, Florida, down to
(01:48):
Miami where I am, that tends to be the breakdown here.
So there's a belief that there's going to be a
bunch of New Yorkers fleeing again to my neck of
the woods. Mom. I bring this up because Mom, Donnie
of course rejects this. He actually thinks people will move
to New York City if he were in play nineteen.
Speaker 2 (02:10):
The Fiscal Policy Institute here in New York City did
a study that found that the top one percent leave
at one fourth the rate of other income brackets in
New York City, and when they do leave, it's often
to other high tax states as they're described as well
as for the reason of quality of life. I say
all this to say that I'm confident that New Yorkers
will choose to not only remain here, but also that
others will choose to join us in the city.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
That is delusional. A lot of illegals and foreigners will
move to New York as they have been. That will happen,
and unfortunately, there'll be people who get a job opportunity
that they can't pass up, or they have family in
New York that they can't leave. I know what that's like.
I got a family that doesn't want to leave New
York because they have family in New York. That is
(02:55):
a reality that can happen. But people with tremendous mobility
usually that means people with tremendous resources for them to
stay and or choose to be there. That is crazy talk.
Problem is, it's not the only one putting crazy talk
out there. CNN's budget Ryan Gradusky, Harry Engine. I'm sure
(03:19):
he's a nice guy. We just like Ryan Moore. This
cut twenty, he is saying the team Cuomo they all
living in a fantasy land. Over in Cuomo Land play twenty,
the question is right.
Speaker 3 (03:33):
Are the Cuomo folks living in a fantasy land? The
fans of Quomo living in a fantasy land that maybe
they can overcome this large polling lead for Zaramam Donnie
Well at this particular point, it to me suggests no,
based upon history, they are living in a bit of
a fantasy land. If you think they're going to be
overcoming the polling why I am I'm Donne Lee's by
seventeen points right now. I look back at all of
the final polling dating all the way back since nineteen
(03:55):
hundred and eighty nine. The largest final polling average ERA
was eleven points.
Speaker 1 (03:59):
In two thousand and five.
Speaker 3 (04:00):
Eleven points is way less than seventeen points. So at
this point, it would take something unprecedented for Andrew Cuomo
to overcome Amdanna's sleeve. Mamdanni has the pull.
Speaker 1 (04:10):
It looks like he's running right for the end zone
with no tacklers in front of him. Yikes, that's not good. Okay,
here's what he's saying. Because I understand, and please the
SLIEWA callers out there, just don't don't bother calling. I've
said get out there and vote for SLIWA. I've said
(04:30):
get out there and don't worry about the numbers or
anything else. I've already said this. But we are looking
at reality. Here we are a talk radio program, and
I'm gonna tell you what's really going on. Sometimes voting
may feel like interrational act because what difference does one
vote make? But get out there and vote. If everyone
thought that nothing would change, right, So get out there
(04:52):
and vote. Do your thing. But please don't call in
and be like, Curtis is gonna win. I hope he does. Okay,
I don't. I'm not betting on it, but I hope
he does. It would be though, to Harry Enton's point,
it's not that it would require the polls to be
wrong for Curtis to win. It would require the polls
(05:12):
to be more wrong by far, by an order of magnitude,
more than they have ever been in the history of
polling New York City mayor's races. Right, this isn't a oh,
it's a forty nine forty eight race, and everyone thinks
that the person who's forty nine is going to win
for some reason like Hillary Clinton twenty sixteen Trump. Right, No,
(05:35):
this is still Maybe they are. Maybe they are the
most wrong they've ever been. I don't know what to
tell you, but I also think that if you look
at what this will do to the Democrat Party increasingly.
I believe, well, you know what, we'll do an after
action analysis here of how it's all going in the
(05:59):
New York City and how the Democrats are handling all this,
once we know what's actually happened. I don't want to
get too I think it's fair to say I don't
want to get too far, too far down the line
here on this one. I don't want to get too
far ahead of things because we simply don't know yet.
I do wish that Cuomo was not It would be
better if he was a boring Democrat that I didn't.
(06:24):
I wasn't very familiar with his decision making and suffered
from it as a New York resident for over thirty years.
I'm very aware that Cuomo, I think, is the worst governor.
You could argue that during the COVID period, Cuomo was
the worst governor in America because he also set the
(06:45):
tone in so many ways of authoritarianism, of capriciousness, and
of unnecessary panic that was seized upon by all the others.
It was Newsome and wit who were following in the
footsteps of Cuomo. So I would argue that he is
(07:07):
the absolute worst Meanwhile, the Democrats are still insane. That
hasn't changed, and you have a presidential hopeful here on
the Democrats side, a Senator Alyssa Slotkin, who is out
there doing the usual thing that Democrats do right now,
(07:28):
which is tell everybody that while the country is actually
doing just fine. In fact, country is doing I think
way better than it. I think we have just had
a better year under Trump than we have had and
then we certainly had under any year of Biden. I Actually,
I know the year's not over, it's only Halloween, but
I think that this has been one of the best
(07:51):
years that we have had in my adult lifetime. Truly,
think about what has gone on this year in America. Overall,
there's always bad things. There's always tragedy, there's a school shooting,
and there's always stuff that's going to happen that's bad.
But if you look at this in the totality of
the big macro issues, war and peace, the economy, the
(08:14):
border trends, on crime, this is one of the best
years America has had. And yet Alissa Slotkin is out
there telling everybody that Trump is trying to turn himself
into a full on Maduro like if you will the
dictator play cut two.
Speaker 4 (08:33):
Legitimate issues, in our case, the cost of living. Once
in office, surround yourself with people loyal to you, accumulate
power and influence, and then start using it against your
perceived enemies. But here's the kicker. There comes a time
in every authoritarian playbook where you hit a tipping point.
You accumulate so much power that you realize if you
(08:56):
ever lose and your opponent gets elected, could use that
very power against you, So you hold onto it with
everything you have. That seems to be Trump's approach right now.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
Yeah, Trump is pulling a Third World I can never
relinquish power because then they'll do terrible They tried to
do terrible things to him when they were in power.
This is what the Democrats haven't gotten the memo on this.
They haven't figured this one out yet. That we have
figured out that all the things that they are turned
to say, well, if you do this, well just wait
(09:34):
till we're in power again. No, you did the things
you did, all the things you tried to lock Trump up.
There were multiple assassination attempts against Trump. You try to
lock up his friends, his allies, his advisors. You brought
all these phony Bologney prosecutions, you had civil suits, you
had Letitia James alleged criminal bringing a case to bankrupt
(09:58):
this organization. What else was they're left for them to do?
Speaker 4 (10:02):
Well?
Speaker 1 (10:02):
What was the thing that they didn't try? In what
way did Democrats at any point within the apparatus that
they had, in what way did they hold back? Find
me the area you could say, well, you know what,
at least Democrats didn't cross that rubicon, They left that
(10:25):
one undone. What would that be? The raid of mar
A Lago with the FBI agents to find dusty boxes
of papers that mean nothing and no one cares about.
And he was president and he had every right to
declassify and take and do it as he saw fit.
A raid, an FBI raid? Really, what was the thing
(10:46):
that Democrats said that's going too far? Can't do that?
Joe Biden, in between bouts of dementia and his advisors
running the government on his behalf and preparing to part
in his own criminal family, was rooting for the imprisonment
of Donald Trump, a sitting president excited about the prospect
(11:08):
that his own team, his own people, were going to
throw his political rival into a cell for the rest
of his life. And now they want to lecture us
on fair play. They want to tell us like, oh
my gosh, you better back off or use we're gonna
get really rough the next time. No, you went all out. Democrats,
(11:28):
I'm sorry you came at the king and you missed.
Speaker 3 (11:32):
But we never know.
Speaker 1 (11:33):
Kings protest well, too bad. Donald Trump is running things,
and yes, of course he's not a king. Kings don't
allow the government to be shut down when they want
it to be open. Kings don't go to court when
there are bad faith judicial blocks to his agenda. Trump
(11:54):
is doing everything that he's doing within the bounds of
the law, of the presidency and of the executive branch.
But it is pretty funny that a lot of their
desperation is coming directly from they tried everything and they
couldn't stop this guy, and so they've now created a
momentum in their own minds of Donald Trump can't be stopped,
(12:16):
so he's just going to be president forever. And the
guy's almost eighty years old. He does actually want to
at some point just play golf and be with his
kids and his grandkids. It's a real thing. Trump has
a happy life outside of politics, a life that he
enjoys living. Anyone who spent time around him knows that.
But he wants to do what he's doing for the country.
(12:39):
He believes in this mission, he believes in this agenda
that he is implementing, and it's working. And that also
upsets the Democrats. That also drives them to these new
points of insanity. That's all. The Towers Foundation honors America's
heroes and their families when tragedies strike. This effort started
(13:01):
just days after nine to eleven as a direct result
of seeing the lives of so many first responders lost
in the effort to save the lives of innocent men
and women attack that day. Since then, the Tunnel the
Towers Foundation has done all they can to help families
that have lost their hero in the line of duty.
Your generosity has provided mortgage free homes to thousands of
families worried about the roof over their head. That same
(13:21):
generosity has helped severely injured combat veterans return home to
live in smart homes specially adapted to their needs. The
stories are just as remarkable as your generosity. Tunnel to
Towers Foundation makes this pledge, we shall never forget. So
many of us echo that sentiment and more heroes are
waiting and in need of assistants honor their sacrifices. Now
(13:41):
join us in donating eleven dollars a month to Tunnel
to Towers at T two t dot org. That's t
the number two t dot org.
Speaker 5 (13:51):
Stories are freedom stories of America, inspirational stories that you
unite us.

There go check that out. Fantastic time to catch up
(14:49):
over the weekend on those podcasts. So let's see we
have here we go. I mentioned this is podcast listener
Tim from Texas BB, but I never thought you sounded
like in New York or so. I heard you talking
to Curtis Leewa. Well, like all of a sudden, I
was like, my name is uh, my name is Jimmy O. Sexton.
(15:12):
I'm a firefighter. I grew up in Park Slope. I'm
coming out of Latter Company too. For you know, is
that was I doing that? Guys? I don't remember doing
that during the Sleeway interview. I've done that other times,
but I don't think I was. I was going full
full New York during Sliwa really did that? I gotta
go back and listen to this because we've got a
(15:33):
few people saying this. I think they confused when I
was doing my accent for Clay to avoid the areas
of because he was talking a little sleiwa, little slee
with smack. You don't want to talk sleeve with smack.
And being Sheepshead Bay that much. I do know, Uh,
Michael from Phoenix, he had some various bones to pick
(15:56):
with me. Play cc fuck you had a bunch of
misfires right there.
Speaker 7 (15:59):
First, there was kind of upsetting that you knew the
Ricky Martin reference right off hand, like correcting Clay like
it was a horrible mistake. Second, Totsy rolls trash. That's
a little bit of an overstatement. Butterfingers should have made
the list somewhere. And then you wash it down with
a Coca Cola to help get all that stuff out
of your teeth. They get stuck in there, but it
tastes amazing. And yes, you guys are right on point.
(16:22):
And when they roll out the Christmas tree reseason.
Speaker 1 (16:28):
Yeah, Reese's pieces are are the the king of candy
for Halloween purposes And yeah I did recent pieces the
Reese's cups or p I I'll take either. I don't
really care. I'm sorry, Michael, TUTSI rolls are trash. I
don't even like doing the dance. Remember there was a
dance Gotta do the toutsy right, wasn't there dance? Am
(16:53):
I the only one? No? You don't remember the toutsy
roll dance. Gosh, I used to be hip. There was
a tootsy year old dance. There was a song where
that where a gentleman said something about totsy role and
then there was a tottsy year old dance. I don't know,
I just going back to my like late well, no,
I think it was early two thousands. Maybe there was
(17:14):
there was a song. There was a song, but yeah, no,
totsy roll is a bad candy. And then what else
did he say? Oh, Ricky Martin reference, Ricky Martin had
his day in the nineties live in Leavid. Look, Ricky
Martin to be fair better than the Mockerina. I do
not remember that was that was one of the all
(17:34):
time one hit wonders. I think, who guys, who did
the mock Reina song? I don't even know, uh there
because look, I grew up listening to a great station
in New York City, Z one hundred, So I knew
a lot of the pop music then because I was
I had the Z one hundred on my radio when
I all through grammar school in high school all the time.
(17:55):
So uh, I know, I know some of the cool things.
Mark my words on this once Halloween passes. You're gonna
see every retail store full of Christmas displays. You're gonna
hear Christmas music. The holiday season is gonna be on
full blast. Smart companies are getting in front of this
ready for the early shoppers with rapid Radios. This is
the company making modern day walkie talkies that keep you
(18:17):
connected with your family, particularly when you experience service disruptions
caused by natural disasters or power outages. These devices are small,
they fit in the palm of your hand, but they're powerful.
They go five days without a charge, and they connect
to anyone anywhere in the US that also has a
rapid radio. They work on a nationwide LT network. Storms
don't wait for the right time. Emergencies don't send invitations.
(18:39):
Having rapid radios is super convenient for your business for
standing contact with relatives, also part of your preparation plan.
Go to Rapid Radios dot com use code radio. You'll
get sixty five percent off total when you do that.
Rapid Radios dot Com Code Radio to zero. It was
(19:01):
in fact a song. It is in fact a dance
from the nineties, back when I used to listen to
the music on the radio. To the left Tutsi. That's
a great that's a great tune, everybody. I'm just glad
that the team pulled this one together for me on
the fly, because I was sounding like a crazy person
(19:22):
talking about the magic Tutsi role song that didn't exist.
It does exist. Thank you, Thank you for this one,
Carol Marco, which joins us. Now, Carol, do you, in
fact remember that fantastic song about the Tutsi role.
Speaker 8 (19:38):
I do not. I don't.
Speaker 9 (19:39):
I want to. I'm like trying to rack my brain
and think about it. I saw the dance. None of
this is familiar to me at all.
Speaker 1 (19:46):
Wow, I am on an island here that I was
not expecting to be. I thought you were going to
tell me that this was a very famous dance in
the early nineties. But all right, well, I thought, but
you know, then again, apparently I'm no one in the
studio in New York. Even what they thought I was
like having a like a Biden moment or something. I
(20:06):
was just talking nonsense. So it turns out there is
a Tutsi roll song. And I got to say, when
that funky beat came on, my moves start, my moves,
and grooves started to get going over here, all right,
Carol Markowitz, you like me. We're in a weird position here, Carol.
Let's be honest about this, okay, because we're going to
talk about New York City with a lot of native
(20:29):
knowledge of New York, having both lived there between the
two of us for like sixty years, I mean a
very long time between the two of us, and yet
some of our New York area listeners will point out
we now both live in South Florida. So there's that
I just wanted to get I wanted to get that
out there as we express our love for New York.
This Mom Donnie situation, thirty thousand foot view. What do
(20:53):
you see happening? Where are you on all this?
Speaker 9 (20:56):
You know, I'm holding out hope that Andrew Calm is
going to beat him.
Speaker 8 (21:01):
That's where we are right now.
Speaker 9 (21:02):
I mean, Andrew cmo is why I live in Florida,
and so there's some irony to the fact that if
I were in New York right now, I would be
voting for Andrew Cuomo.
Speaker 8 (21:11):
Crazy as that is.
Speaker 9 (21:13):
But I think Mamdanie runs.
Speaker 8 (21:14):
Away with this.
Speaker 9 (21:15):
I think New York is a very blue city. It's
an off year election. Donald Trump as president all of
these factors are going to play into the Democratic candidate
winning like as usual. The only difference is this Democratic candidate.
Speaker 8 (21:31):
Is really far left. He is a.
Speaker 9 (21:32):
Self proclaimed socialist. I would call him a communist. He
wants government run grocery stores, he wants government to take
over private buildings.
Speaker 8 (21:40):
I mean, he is really far left. I hope that
he loses.
Speaker 9 (21:45):
Let's start with that.
Speaker 8 (21:45):
I don't think that's happening.
Speaker 9 (21:46):
Though, And then if he wins, I hope that he's
unable to implement his policies, which seems likely. I don't
think he's going to be able to do many of
the things he wants to do.
Speaker 8 (21:57):
I root for New.
Speaker 9 (21:57):
York to turn it around, but every day move close
further away from the.
Speaker 8 (22:03):
Great place that it used to be. People always say
to me, like, well, why did you take so long
to leave New York? And I say, it was amazing.
Speaker 9 (22:10):
It was so great, it was so safe, it was
so clean, it was it was in such good shape
during the Bloomberg years that it took the Dblavio several
years to destroy that. And that's where New York is.
Speaker 1 (22:22):
Right now now. I most, you know, first and foremost,
I think I identify with the neighborhood that I grew
up in and I went to Saint David's in Regis,
So I identify with the Upper east Side, like that's
my if I had to pick my home neighborhood in
New York. I'm an Upper east Side guy at heart.
And there was always I think, I think that was
(22:42):
the Upper east Side. When was it Joe Loda ran back,
you know, years ago. I'm trying to remember now, it
was Stanton Island on the Upper east Side, like two
of the only places that were read in that in
that election. So the Upper east Side has had a
little little little tinge of sanity. That's I think gotten
less less with time. You are a You're Park Slope person, right.
Speaker 9 (23:04):
No, No, buck Sexton, how dare you? I am a
South Brooklyn person. And if you look at the map
of Brooklyn, it's South Brooklyn is like a red On cleave.
I mean Donald Trump won South Brooklyn and it's you know,
I was born in the Soviet Union. I grew up
in like we called it, the Russian community in Brooklyn,
even though a lot of us are not Russian. It's
(23:26):
that community is super conservative. And I lived in Park
Slope towards the end of my staff.
Speaker 1 (23:32):
Okay, she throws that in there at the end, like
I'm a crazy person. I'm so, I'm sorry you only
most recently were a park Slope.
Speaker 6 (23:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 9 (23:40):
Look, park Slope is for anybody listening who doesn't know
it's a super left area, that it's crazy that we
live there at all.
Speaker 1 (23:48):
Maybe would you agree with me? Will you agree? I
think if you're trying to pick, I think Upper west
Side in Park Slope probably two of the bluest of
all of the five boroughs, right, I mean you're rebelly
of bluer.
Speaker 9 (24:00):
It's even further left.
Speaker 8 (24:01):
I mean they're both very Democrat.
Speaker 9 (24:03):
But when I moved to Park Slope from the Upper
west Side, actually what I found was like on the
Upper west Side, if they want to build a homeless shelter,
all the liberal Upper west Siders like, no, I don't
want a homeless.
Speaker 8 (24:14):
Shelter in my block in Park Slope.
Speaker 9 (24:15):
They wouldn't do that. They would say, look, obviously we
need a homeless shelter, but you know, we're.
Speaker 8 (24:20):
Just worried about the carbon footprint.
Speaker 9 (24:22):
And like the transportation issue around it. Like they would
completely standbag the conversation and make it something else entirely.
So that's the difference, I think between liberalism and leftism.
Speaker 1 (24:33):
So this is I want you to take us, take
us into the mentality here a little bit, because you
lived around this and you know these people, and you're
still in contact with the with the ultra deep blue
elements of New York City, the people with like you know,
three to six million dollars townhouses in and around the
Park Slope area, who were going to vote for Mom Donnie.
(24:55):
What the heck is wrong with them? Like, explain to
me what they are thinking.
Speaker 9 (25:01):
Well, they're the same people who had to defund police
signs in their windows in twenty twenty. And that's the
kind of thing that pushed us out. We couldn't live
with that hypocrisy. And these people, Yeah, they think that
they're socialist warriors, and they think that when they say
eat the rich, they don't mean them somehow. You know.
So you have like Billie Eilish, for example, talking yesterday
(25:22):
or two days ago about how billionaires shouldn't exist. But
she's a multi millionaire.
Speaker 8 (25:26):
Who does she.
Speaker 9 (25:27):
Think, like is next after they get rid of the billionaires? Yeah,
these people don't think it applies to them. I think
that they are, you know, safely in const from the
surrounding area, and they don't worry about there being no police.
For example. They think, I'll just get private security if
I have to. It's another level of just insanity over there.
Speaker 1 (25:51):
Now another part of this, you're Jewish, there are and
you know, we have all these South Florida Jewish friends
in common who are all very sane, sound thinkers about
all these things. And then I have to sometimes think
back to when I lived in New York and there
were some right wing Jews who I agree with on
(26:13):
all things political. And then you have the far left
Jewish contingent, and they're going to be voting for Mom
Donnie in substantial numbers. All the polling shows you're going
to have people who are Jewish, who are self described
jewsh in New York voting for a guy who says,
when the NYPD has its boot on your neck, the
(26:34):
IDF is lacing up the shoes like this is crazy.
Speaker 9 (26:38):
The thing is okay. So there's two things about that. One,
you can say you're Jewish even if you're totally not Jewish.
You have like one Jewish relative somewhere down the line,
and it happens to be on your mom's side. You
can say you're Jewish, and that's what a lot of
these people do. They don't do anything that makes them Jewish.
Speaker 7 (26:53):
You know.
Speaker 9 (26:53):
They think that bagel and cream cheese is Jewish. So
these people are a not Jewish. But every poll that
I've seen in the last like two weeks has had
the number at around eighteen to twenty percent. Which listen,
let me not you know kid myself here, one out
of every five Jews in New York City voting from
mamdani is still high. But look, twenty percent of Jews
(27:17):
voting for the Democrat and eighty percent not voting for
the Democrat is actually a huge shift for the Jewish community.
And Donald Trump got somewhere in the forty percent of
Jewish vote. That has never happened before. I hope that
number continues to climb. I hope my neighborhood, not my neighborhood,
but my people continue to wake up. Because Russian Jews
have been conservatives all along. It's you know, the American
(27:39):
Jews who have been here for one hundred plus years,
who never had any strife, who don't know what the
world is like those are the people who are on
the left, and they're breeding themselves out, and the ones
that aren't are coming over to the right.
Speaker 1 (27:52):
Speaking to Krol Markowitz. Her show is on the Klaim
Book podcast Network. Go check out The Karen Markowitz Show
and also Normally, which she co hosts with Mary Catherine.
Great to listen to over this weekend. What are some
of the things on the most recent Normally podcast?
Speaker 9 (28:06):
Well, Mary Catherine and I are talking about all the
things that are in the news. We cover Tucker and Puentus,
We get into the shutdown, all the news that you're hearing.
Mary Catherine and I are on it. On Normally, we
talked Bill Gates saying that climate change is no longer
a big issue. Thanks so much for that, Bill, after
destroying so many lives along the way. We cover all
(28:27):
that with humor.
Speaker 1 (28:28):
I can I tell you, you know, I had a
friend in New York, an older guys by tennis with
very very wealthy guy, and you know, he was I
would say, a Democrat, but like a reasonable Democrat. And
one day we got crossing, you know, on the tennis court.
We're like, you know, waiting to switch sides. We're sitting
(28:49):
down on the bench, and I started talking to him
and he asked me about climate change, and he was
and I just did my usual thing. I've been the
same since I was like twelve, right, so I just
launched into my thing. This is twenty years ago. It's absurd.
We're not all gonna melt, the polar bears aren't drowning.
No one actually believes this. No one's getting a deal
on Martha's vineyard real estate because it's all going to
be underwater. Like this is all garbage, he thought, And
(29:13):
he had hurt all my other right wing stuff. He
thought I was nuts. Like he actually was like, are
you like it really unsettled him. Yeah, to those people
who think that way, now that one of their one
of the high priests of this total delusion, Bill Gates,
is like, yeah, it's actually not that big of a deal.
Barack Obama gave a speech at the Coastguard Academy saying
(29:35):
it was the biggest national security threat we faced, Carol,
climate change. Do we get any apologies from these people
for being idiots? Like? How does this go? Right?
Speaker 9 (29:46):
It's exactly. We don't get any apologies from these people.
They just get to walk back their ridiculous comments and
what we're all supposed to take it.
Speaker 8 (29:53):
I mean, Bill Gates is saying what.
Speaker 9 (29:56):
I think even you know, everybody's been saying for the
last gig plus, even people on from the liberal side.
I think of Constantine Kissing for example, he made this
point that, you know, stopping poverty is the most important thing,
not climate change.
Speaker 8 (30:11):
And if you're if you're somebody who lives.
Speaker 9 (30:13):
Somewhere without indoor plumbing and your kids, you know, need
to eat, you're not going to care about climate change.
And he said, you know, he made this point, and
that's what Bill Gates ended up saying.
Speaker 8 (30:23):
You know, three days ago, it's like, wake up.
Speaker 9 (30:25):
This is not new it's crazy. And I had the
same experience in New York, like people who thought I
was reasonable whenever we get into climate change, you know,
I would say to them, well, who's your favorite climate scientists?
And of course they would have no idea because they
don't actually study the climate science. They just say they
find whatever. The time said.
Speaker 1 (30:44):
It was funny to me because it was one of
the big differences for me was on other things, like
if I was talking to somebody about about guns, I
understand like guns matter, to me like firearms the Second Amendment,
and for them it's terrifying, but at least we're having
a discussion about something that's worth discussing, Like I want
(31:06):
to explain to them why the right to bear army
is so important, and they they think that it's going
to make all the mean, bad crime go away, if
the scary ar guns, which no one actually really uses
to kill anybody ninety nine percent of the time, it's pistoles.
On climate change, I'm like, I don't even want to
I don't even know what we're talking about here. This
is there was I don't care at all, Like there's
no discussion to be had, and yet for years they're
(31:29):
going to totally rewrite the history on this for years.
It's one of the areas I think where libs would
go the most insane on you at a cocktail party.
Speaker 8 (31:37):
Yeah, yeah, that's right. And you know, one of my points.
Speaker 9 (31:40):
About it was always like, if I'm Bill Gates and
I really believe in climate change, I cann't possibly keep
using my private plane.
Speaker 8 (31:48):
But he does so, then that means he does not
believe it. There's no reason in the whole world.
Speaker 9 (31:52):
It doesn't matter how many people talk to you on
the commercial flight. If you really believe you're flying on
a private plane causes climate change, then you wouldn't do it.
And it's same thing with like Leonardo DiCaprio, al Gore.
Speaker 8 (32:04):
All of these people just seem like they don't believe
what they're actually saying.
Speaker 1 (32:08):
Yeah, total frauds, total frauds. What are your kids for Halloween? Carol?
Speaker 9 (32:13):
The youngest one is going to be a nineteen twenties
gangster with me and my husband. He thought he was
going to be a nineteen nineties gangster and he started
using the west Side gang sign.
Speaker 8 (32:22):
Yeah, we had tell.
Speaker 9 (32:22):
Him that wasn't that kind of gangster. Middle sn is
going to be some kind of like I don't even know.
Speaker 8 (32:28):
Camouflage guy. And then the fifteen year old girl, she's
too cool.
Speaker 9 (32:32):
I don't know what she's going to be, if she's
going to be anything.
Speaker 1 (32:35):
Mm okay, yeah, Well the.
Speaker 9 (32:37):
Kids, they really they stop.
Speaker 8 (32:38):
They stopped doing what.
Speaker 9 (32:39):
You want after a certain time. So get all dressing
up in now.
Speaker 1 (32:43):
Oh, we have my dog dressed up as a Miami Heat,
you know, Miami Heat jersey. That's as festive as we
get over. Your ginger has a Miami Heat, Jersey. That's
about all.
Speaker 8 (32:53):
We love it.
Speaker 1 (32:54):
Yeah, good time everybody dressing up? Who speed? Now we're
not good? He's yeah, he's speed. Doesn't roll like that,
you know what I mean. He's a distinguished fellow. Already
check out the Carol Mark would show this weekend. Carol,
give Shy a hug from me and we'll talk to
you soon.
Speaker 8 (33:12):
Talk you soon.
Speaker 1 (33:14):
When you finally decide to switch your cell phone service
to my carrier, Puretalk, you're going to immediately notice three
things the qualities. Every bit is good. Pure Talk is
on the same nationwide five G system as one of
the big three carriers, same tower, same network, same quality.
You'll have much improved customer service from an all US
based customer service team working here in the US. You'll
have fifty dollars the more left in your pocket every
(33:35):
month because Puretalk is less expensive than any other carrier.
That's because they don't have retail stores to pay for,
among other expenses. You get the savings and that starts
on day one. Twenty five dollars a month with pure
Talk gives you unlimited talk, text, and plenty of data plus.
Right now, they'll take an additional fifty percent off your
first month, and if you own a business and transfer
your lines, you could be saving even more. Dial pound
(33:55):
two fifty and say the keywords Clay and Buck and
Puretalk's US customer service team. We'll switch you over in
as little as ten minutes, plus a fifty percent off
your first month. Dial pound two five zero say Clay
and Buck to switch to America's wireless company.
Speaker 5 (34:09):
Puretalk stories are freedom stories of America, inspirational stories that
you unite us all each day, spend time with Clay
and buy find them.
Speaker 6 (34:21):

(35:29):
Sarah from Annandale Virginia.
Speaker 4 (35:31):
Oh my goodness, when you brought on Titsi Roll, I
don't even know what happened, but I just dropped down
immediately into the dance.
Speaker 8 (35:38):
You brought back so many good memories.
Speaker 7 (35:40):
Thank you.
Speaker 8 (35:41):
Sarah from Annandale Virginia.
Speaker 1 (35:43):
Oh well, first of all, jamming out to Tutsie roll
is always a good idea. Clay just called in from
the airport. Clay, I'm hearing it's rough. What's going on
air traffic control messing you up.
Speaker 6 (35:53):
Happy Halloween to everybody. I am at Midway Airport in Chicago.
I thought to myself, definitely going to make it home
to trick or Tree with my kids, so I got
here early. Everything is cataclysmic. It seems like there's all
sorts of delays everywhere. So I'm a couple of hours late.
Hopefully I'll still be home in time for Halloween. But
I actually plan for things to be awful, so I
(36:16):
think I've still got time. But this is pretty ridiculous
at this point.
Speaker 1 (36:19):
Are they telling you it's air traffic control? Is that
what's holding everything up? What's the problem.
Speaker 6 (36:25):
There's no real explanation about exactly what's going on. Just
there's a bunch of flights all over the place here canceled.
Speaker 9 (36:31):
I think.
Speaker 6 (36:31):
I mean, the weather's perfect as I'm standing here looking,
it couldn't be more spectacular. By the way, congrats to
our boss Julie Talbot. I was up here for her
Hall of Fame induction into the Radio Hall of Fame.
Well deserved. But I think there's lots of issues all
over the country right now for anybody traveling play talk
to you on Monday,
Welcome into the second hour of the Clay Travis in
Buck Sexton Show, and let's talk New York City Mayor's
race a little bit here. Look, election day is Tuesday.
It is upon us, my friend, the day of reckoning
for the Big Apple. We'll be here soon. And I
really hope that the callers who are letting up our
(00:22):
lines saying that there will be a sleewah miracle are
onto something. I would not bet money on it, but
I am hopeful. It can only happen if all of
you listening get out there are wor listeners, so so
many of you in the five boroughs, please get out there,
(00:42):
get it done, and just let's all hope and pray
that you don't have this Kami, Mom, Danni who's going
to be in charge, because it will be really bad
for the city. It's funny because on the other side
of things, way down here, about nine hundred miles else
to your south. I think that's that's one thousand miles,
(01:02):
nine hundred miles something like that. We have the Florida
real estate market. And when people are putting their money
where their mouth is, I tend to listen more. And
there is certainly a belief that real estates in particularly
South Florida. It is Ronda Santis shared this out. It's
(01:25):
kind of funny. I've learned this too since moving here.
If you are from the Midwest and you move to Florida,
particularly Chicago, Great Lakes, that whole area. If you're from
there and you move to Florida, you go on the
Gulf Coast. If you are from the Northeast, you do
the Atlantic Coast, and really from Jupiter, Florida, down to
(01:48):
Miami where I am, that tends to be the breakdown here.
So there's a belief that there's going to be a
bunch of New Yorkers fleeing again to my neck of
the woods. Mom. I bring this up because Mom, Donnie
of course rejects this. He actually thinks people will move
to New York City if he were in play nineteen.
Speaker 2 (02:10):
The Fiscal Policy Institute here in New York City did
a study that found that the top one percent leave
at one fourth the rate of other income brackets in
New York City, and when they do leave, it's often
to other high tax states as they're described as well
as for the reason of quality of life. I say
all this to say that I'm confident that New Yorkers
will choose to not only remain here, but also that
others will choose to join us in the city.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
That is delusional. A lot of illegals and foreigners will
move to New York as they have been. That will happen,
and unfortunately, there'll be people who get a job opportunity
that they can't pass up, or they have family in
New York that they can't leave. I know what that's like.
I got a family that doesn't want to leave New
York because they have family in New York. That is
(02:55):
a reality that can happen. But people with tremendous mobility
usually that means people with tremendous resources for them to
stay and or choose to be there. That is crazy talk.
Problem is, it's not the only one putting crazy talk
out there. CNN's budget Ryan Gradusky, Harry Engine. I'm sure
(03:19):
he's a nice guy. We just like Ryan Moore. This
cut twenty, he is saying the team Cuomo they all
living in a fantasy land. Over in Cuomo Land play twenty,
the question is right.
Speaker 3 (03:33):
Are the Cuomo folks living in a fantasy land? The
fans of Quomo living in a fantasy land that maybe
they can overcome this large polling lead for Zaramam Donnie
Well at this particular point, it to me suggests no,
based upon history, they are living in a bit of
a fantasy land. If you think they're going to be
overcoming the polling why I am I'm Donne Lee's by
seventeen points right now. I look back at all of
the final polling dating all the way back since nineteen
(03:55):
hundred and eighty nine. The largest final polling average ERA
was eleven points.
Speaker 1 (03:59):
In two thousand and five.
Speaker 3 (04:00):
Eleven points is way less than seventeen points. So at
this point, it would take something unprecedented for Andrew Cuomo
to overcome Amdanna's sleeve. Mamdanni has the pull.
Speaker 1 (04:10):
It looks like he's running right for the end zone
with no tacklers in front of him. Yikes, that's not good. Okay,
here's what he's saying. Because I understand, and please the
SLIEWA callers out there, just don't don't bother calling. I've
said get out there and vote for SLIWA. I've said
(04:30):
get out there and don't worry about the numbers or
anything else. I've already said this. But we are looking
at reality. Here we are a talk radio program, and
I'm gonna tell you what's really going on. Sometimes voting
may feel like interrational act because what difference does one
vote make? But get out there and vote. If everyone
thought that nothing would change, right, So get out there
(04:52):
and vote. Do your thing. But please don't call in
and be like, Curtis is gonna win. I hope he does. Okay,
I don't. I'm not betting on it, but I hope
he does. It would be though, to Harry Enton's point,
it's not that it would require the polls to be
wrong for Curtis to win. It would require the polls
(05:12):
to be more wrong by far, by an order of magnitude,
more than they have ever been in the history of
polling New York City mayor's races. Right, this isn't a oh,
it's a forty nine forty eight race, and everyone thinks
that the person who's forty nine is going to win
for some reason like Hillary Clinton twenty sixteen Trump. Right, No,
(05:35):
this is still Maybe they are. Maybe they are the
most wrong they've ever been. I don't know what to
tell you, but I also think that if you look
at what this will do to the Democrat Party increasingly.
I believe, well, you know what, we'll do an after
action analysis here of how it's all going in the
(05:59):
New York City and how the Democrats are handling all this,
once we know what's actually happened. I don't want to
get too I think it's fair to say I don't
want to get too far, too far down the line
here on this one. I don't want to get too
far ahead of things because we simply don't know yet.
I do wish that Cuomo was not It would be
better if he was a boring Democrat that I didn't.
(06:24):
I wasn't very familiar with his decision making and suffered
from it as a New York resident for over thirty years.
I'm very aware that Cuomo, I think, is the worst governor.
You could argue that during the COVID period, Cuomo was
the worst governor in America because he also set the
(06:45):
tone in so many ways of authoritarianism, of capriciousness, and
of unnecessary panic that was seized upon by all the others.
It was Newsome and wit who were following in the
footsteps of Cuomo. So I would argue that he is
(07:07):
the absolute worst Meanwhile, the Democrats are still insane. That
hasn't changed, and you have a presidential hopeful here on
the Democrats side, a Senator Alyssa Slotkin, who is out
there doing the usual thing that Democrats do right now,
(07:28):
which is tell everybody that while the country is actually
doing just fine. In fact, country is doing I think
way better than it. I think we have just had
a better year under Trump than we have had and
then we certainly had under any year of Biden. I Actually,
I know the year's not over, it's only Halloween, but
I think that this has been one of the best
(07:51):
years that we have had in my adult lifetime. Truly,
think about what has gone on this year in America. Overall,
there's always bad things. There's always tragedy, there's a school shooting,
and there's always stuff that's going to happen that's bad.
But if you look at this in the totality of
the big macro issues, war and peace, the economy, the
(08:14):
border trends, on crime, this is one of the best
years America has had. And yet Alissa Slotkin is out
there telling everybody that Trump is trying to turn himself
into a full on Maduro like if you will the
dictator play cut two.
Speaker 4 (08:33):
Legitimate issues, in our case, the cost of living. Once
in office, surround yourself with people loyal to you, accumulate
power and influence, and then start using it against your
perceived enemies. But here's the kicker. There comes a time
in every authoritarian playbook where you hit a tipping point.
You accumulate so much power that you realize if you
(08:56):
ever lose and your opponent gets elected, could use that
very power against you, So you hold onto it with
everything you have. That seems to be Trump's approach right now.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
Yeah, Trump is pulling a Third World I can never
relinquish power because then they'll do terrible They tried to
do terrible things to him when they were in power.
This is what the Democrats haven't gotten the memo on this.
They haven't figured this one out yet. That we have
figured out that all the things that they are turned
to say, well, if you do this, well just wait
(09:34):
till we're in power again. No, you did the things
you did, all the things you tried to lock Trump up.
There were multiple assassination attempts against Trump. You try to
lock up his friends, his allies, his advisors. You brought
all these phony Bologney prosecutions, you had civil suits, you
had Letitia James alleged criminal bringing a case to bankrupt
(09:58):
this organization. What else was they're left for them to do?
Speaker 4 (10:02):
Well?
Speaker 1 (10:02):
What was the thing that they didn't try? In what
way did Democrats at any point within the apparatus that
they had, in what way did they hold back? Find
me the area you could say, well, you know what,
at least Democrats didn't cross that rubicon, They left that
(10:25):
one undone. What would that be? The raid of mar
A Lago with the FBI agents to find dusty boxes
of papers that mean nothing and no one cares about.
And he was president and he had every right to
declassify and take and do it as he saw fit.
A raid, an FBI raid? Really, what was the thing
(10:46):
that Democrats said that's going too far? Can't do that?
Joe Biden, in between bouts of dementia and his advisors
running the government on his behalf and preparing to part
in his own criminal family, was rooting for the imprisonment
of Donald Trump, a sitting president excited about the prospect
(11:08):
that his own team, his own people, were going to
throw his political rival into a cell for the rest
of his life. And now they want to lecture us
on fair play. They want to tell us like, oh
my gosh, you better back off or use we're gonna
get really rough the next time. No, you went all out. Democrats,
(11:28):
I'm sorry you came at the king and you missed.
Speaker 3 (11:32):
But we never know.
Speaker 1 (11:33):
Kings protest well, too bad. Donald Trump is running things,
and yes, of course he's not a king. Kings don't
allow the government to be shut down when they want
it to be open. Kings don't go to court when
there are bad faith judicial blocks to his agenda. Trump
(11:54):
is doing everything that he's doing within the bounds of
the law, of the presidency and of the executive branch.
But it is pretty funny that a lot of their
desperation is coming directly from they tried everything and they
couldn't stop this guy, and so they've now created a
momentum in their own minds of Donald Trump can't be stopped,
(12:16):
so he's just going to be president forever. And the
guy's almost eighty years old. He does actually want to
at some point just play golf and be with his
kids and his grandkids. It's a real thing. Trump has
a happy life outside of politics, a life that he
enjoys living. Anyone who spent time around him knows that.
But he wants to do what he's doing for the country.
(12:39):
He believes in this mission, he believes in this agenda
that he is implementing, and it's working. And that also
upsets the Democrats. That also drives them to these new
points of insanity. That's all. The Towers Foundation honors America's
heroes and their families when tragedies strike. This effort started
(13:01):
just days after nine to eleven as a direct result
of seeing the lives of so many first responders lost
in the effort to save the lives of innocent men
and women attack that day. Since then, the Tunnel the
Towers Foundation has done all they can to help families
that have lost their hero in the line of duty.
Your generosity has provided mortgage free homes to thousands of
families worried about the roof over their head. That same
(13:21):
generosity has helped severely injured combat veterans return home to
live in smart homes specially adapted to their needs. The
stories are just as remarkable as your generosity. Tunnel to
Towers Foundation makes this pledge, we shall never forget. So
many of us echo that sentiment and more heroes are
waiting and in need of assistants honor their sacrifices. Now
(13:41):
join us in donating eleven dollars a month to Tunnel
to Towers at T two t dot org. That's t
the number two t dot org.
Speaker 5 (13:51):
Stories are freedom stories of America, inspirational stories that you
unite us.

to Curtis Leewa. Well, like all of a sudden, I
was like, my name is uh, my name is Jimmy O. Sexton.
(15:12):
I'm a firefighter. I grew up in Park Slope. I'm
coming out of Latter Company too. For you know, is
that was I doing that? Guys? I don't remember doing
that during the Sleeway interview. I've done that other times,
but I don't think I was. I was going full
full New York during Sliwa really did that? I gotta
go back and listen to this because we've got a
(15:33):
few people saying this. I think they confused when I
was doing my accent for Clay to avoid the areas
of because he was talking a little sleiwa, little slee
with smack. You don't want to talk sleeve with smack.
And being Sheepshead Bay that much. I do know, Uh,
Michael from Phoenix, he had some various bones to pick
(15:56):
with me. Play cc fuck you had a bunch of
misfires right there.
Speaker 7 (15:59):
First, there was kind of upsetting that you knew the
Ricky Martin reference right off hand, like correcting Clay like
it was a horrible mistake. Second, Totsy rolls trash. That's
a little bit of an overstatement. Butterfingers should have made
the list somewhere. And then you wash it down with
a Coca Cola to help get all that stuff out
of your teeth. They get stuck in there, but it
tastes amazing. And yes, you guys are right on point.
(16:22):
And when they roll out the Christmas tree reseason.
Speaker 1 (16:28):
Yeah, Reese's pieces are are the the king of candy
for Halloween purposes And yeah I did recent pieces the
Reese's cups or p I I'll take either. I don't
really care. I'm sorry, Michael, TUTSI rolls are trash. I
don't even like doing the dance. Remember there was a
dance Gotta do the toutsy right, wasn't there dance? Am
(16:53):
I the only one? No? You don't remember the toutsy
roll dance. Gosh, I used to be hip. There was
a tootsy year old dance. There was a song where
that where a gentleman said something about totsy role and
then there was a tottsy year old dance. I don't know,
I just going back to my like late well, no,
I think it was early two thousands. Maybe there was
(17:14):
there was a song. There was a song, but yeah, no,
totsy roll is a bad candy. And then what else
did he say? Oh, Ricky Martin reference, Ricky Martin had
his day in the nineties live in Leavid. Look, Ricky
Martin to be fair better than the Mockerina. I do
not remember that was that was one of the all
(17:34):
time one hit wonders. I think, who guys, who did
the mock Reina song? I don't even know, uh there
because look, I grew up listening to a great station
in New York City, Z one hundred, So I knew
a lot of the pop music then because I was
I had the Z one hundred on my radio when
I all through grammar school in high school all the time.
(17:55):
So uh, I know, I know some of the cool things.
Mark my words on this once Halloween passes. You're gonna
see every retail store full of Christmas displays. You're gonna
hear Christmas music. The holiday season is gonna be on
full blast. Smart companies are getting in front of this
ready for the early shoppers with rapid Radios. This is
the company making modern day walkie talkies that keep you
(18:17):
connected with your family, particularly when you experience service disruptions
caused by natural disasters or power outages. These devices are small,
they fit in the palm of your hand, but they're powerful.
They go five days without a charge, and they connect
to anyone anywhere in the US that also has a
rapid radio. They work on a nationwide LT network. Storms
don't wait for the right time. Emergencies don't send invitations.
(18:39):
Having rapid radios is super convenient for your business for
standing contact with relatives, also part of your preparation plan.
Go to Rapid Radios dot com use code radio. You'll
get sixty five percent off total when you do that.
Rapid Radios dot Com Code Radio to zero. It was
(19:01):
in fact a song. It is in fact a dance
from the nineties, back when I used to listen to
the music on the radio. To the left Tutsi. That's
a great that's a great tune, everybody. I'm just glad
that the team pulled this one together for me on
the fly, because I was sounding like a crazy person
(19:22):
talking about the magic Tutsi role song that didn't exist.
It does exist. Thank you, Thank you for this one,
Carol Marco, which joins us. Now, Carol, do you, in
fact remember that fantastic song about the Tutsi role.
Speaker 8 (19:38):
I do not. I don't.
Speaker 9 (19:39):
I want to. I'm like trying to rack my brain
and think about it. I saw the dance. None of
this is familiar to me at all.
Speaker 1 (19:46):
Wow, I am on an island here that I was
not expecting to be. I thought you were going to
tell me that this was a very famous dance in
the early nineties. But all right, well, I thought, but
you know, then again, apparently I'm no one in the
studio in New York. Even what they thought I was
like having a like a Biden moment or something. I
(20:06):
was just talking nonsense. So it turns out there is
a Tutsi roll song. And I got to say, when
that funky beat came on, my moves start, my moves,
and grooves started to get going over here, all right,
Carol Markowitz, you like me. We're in a weird position here, Carol.
Let's be honest about this, okay, because we're going to
talk about New York City with a lot of native
(20:29):
knowledge of New York, having both lived there between the
two of us for like sixty years, I mean a
very long time between the two of us, and yet
some of our New York area listeners will point out
we now both live in South Florida. So there's that
I just wanted to get I wanted to get that
out there as we express our love for New York.
This Mom Donnie situation, thirty thousand foot view. What do
(20:53):
you see happening? Where are you on all this?
Speaker 9 (20:56):
You know, I'm holding out hope that Andrew Calm is
going to beat him.
Speaker 8 (21:01):
That's where we are right now.
Speaker 9 (21:02):
I mean, Andrew cmo is why I live in Florida,
and so there's some irony to the fact that if
I were in New York right now, I would be
voting for Andrew Cuomo.
Speaker 8 (21:11):
Crazy as that is.
Speaker 9 (21:13):
But I think Mamdanie runs.
Speaker 8 (21:14):
Away with this.
Speaker 9 (21:15):
I think New York is a very blue city. It's
an off year election. Donald Trump as president all of
these factors are going to play into the Democratic candidate
winning like as usual. The only difference is this Democratic candidate.
Speaker 8 (21:31):
Is really far left. He is a.
Speaker 9 (21:32):
Self proclaimed socialist. I would call him a communist. He
wants government run grocery stores, he wants government to take
over private buildings.
Speaker 8 (21:40):
I mean, he is really far left. I hope that
he loses.
Speaker 9 (21:45):
Let's start with that.
Speaker 8 (21:45):
I don't think that's happening.
Speaker 9 (21:46):
Though, And then if he wins, I hope that he's
unable to implement his policies, which seems likely. I don't
think he's going to be able to do many of
the things he wants to do.
Speaker 8 (21:57):
I root for New.
Speaker 9 (21:57):
York to turn it around, but every day move close
further away from the.
Speaker 8 (22:03):
Great place that it used to be. People always say
to me, like, well, why did you take so long
to leave New York? And I say, it was amazing.
Speaker 9 (22:10):
It was so great, it was so safe, it was
so clean, it was it was in such good shape
during the Bloomberg years that it took the Dblavio several
years to destroy that. And that's where New York is.
Speaker 1 (22:22):
Right now now. I most, you know, first and foremost,
I think I identify with the neighborhood that I grew
up in and I went to Saint David's in Regis,
So I identify with the Upper east Side, like that's
my if I had to pick my home neighborhood in
New York. I'm an Upper east Side guy at heart.
And there was always I think, I think that was
(22:42):
the Upper east Side. When was it Joe Loda ran back,
you know, years ago. I'm trying to remember now, it
was Stanton Island on the Upper east Side, like two
of the only places that were read in that in
that election. So the Upper east Side has had a
little little little tinge of sanity. That's I think gotten
less less with time. You are a You're Park Slope person, right.
Speaker 9 (23:04):
No, No, buck Sexton, how dare you? I am a
South Brooklyn person. And if you look at the map
of Brooklyn, it's South Brooklyn is like a red On cleave.
I mean Donald Trump won South Brooklyn and it's you know,
I was born in the Soviet Union. I grew up
in like we called it, the Russian community in Brooklyn,
even though a lot of us are not Russian. It's
(23:26):
that community is super conservative. And I lived in Park
Slope towards the end of my staff.
Speaker 1 (23:32):
Okay, she throws that in there at the end, like
I'm a crazy person. I'm so, I'm sorry you only
most recently were a park Slope.
Speaker 6 (23:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 9 (23:40):
Look, park Slope is for anybody listening who doesn't know
it's a super left area, that it's crazy that we
live there at all.
Speaker 1 (23:48):
Maybe would you agree with me? Will you agree? I
think if you're trying to pick, I think Upper west
Side in Park Slope probably two of the bluest of
all of the five boroughs, right, I mean you're rebelly
of bluer.
Speaker 9 (24:00):
It's even further left.
Speaker 8 (24:01):
I mean they're both very Democrat.
Speaker 9 (24:03):
But when I moved to Park Slope from the Upper
west Side, actually what I found was like on the
Upper west Side, if they want to build a homeless shelter,
all the liberal Upper west Siders like, no, I don't
want a homeless.
Speaker 8 (24:14):
Shelter in my block in Park Slope.
Speaker 9 (24:15):
They wouldn't do that. They would say, look, obviously we
need a homeless shelter, but you know, we're.
Speaker 8 (24:20):
Just worried about the carbon footprint.
Speaker 9 (24:22):
And like the transportation issue around it. Like they would
completely standbag the conversation and make it something else entirely.
So that's the difference, I think between liberalism and leftism.
Speaker 1 (24:33):
So this is I want you to take us, take
us into the mentality here a little bit, because you
lived around this and you know these people, and you're
still in contact with the with the ultra deep blue
elements of New York City, the people with like you know,
three to six million dollars townhouses in and around the
Park Slope area, who were going to vote for Mom Donnie.
(24:55):
What the heck is wrong with them? Like, explain to
me what they are thinking.
Speaker 9 (25:01):
Well, they're the same people who had to defund police
signs in their windows in twenty twenty. And that's the
kind of thing that pushed us out. We couldn't live
with that hypocrisy. And these people, Yeah, they think that
they're socialist warriors, and they think that when they say
eat the rich, they don't mean them somehow. You know.
So you have like Billie Eilish, for example, talking yesterday
(25:22):
or two days ago about how billionaires shouldn't exist. But
she's a multi millionaire.
Speaker 8 (25:26):
Who does she.
Speaker 9 (25:27):
Think, like is next after they get rid of the billionaires? Yeah,
these people don't think it applies to them. I think
that they are, you know, safely in const from the
surrounding area, and they don't worry about there being no police.
For example. They think, I'll just get private security if
I have to. It's another level of just insanity over there.
Speaker 1 (25:51):
Now another part of this, you're Jewish, there are and
you know, we have all these South Florida Jewish friends
in common who are all very sane, sound thinkers about
all these things. And then I have to sometimes think
back to when I lived in New York and there
were some right wing Jews who I agree with on
(26:13):
all things political. And then you have the far left
Jewish contingent, and they're going to be voting for Mom
Donnie in substantial numbers. All the polling shows you're going
to have people who are Jewish, who are self described
jewsh in New York voting for a guy who says,
when the NYPD has its boot on your neck, the
(26:34):
IDF is lacing up the shoes like this is crazy.
Speaker 9 (26:38):
The thing is okay. So there's two things about that. One,
you can say you're Jewish even if you're totally not Jewish.
You have like one Jewish relative somewhere down the line,
and it happens to be on your mom's side. You
can say you're Jewish, and that's what a lot of
these people do. They don't do anything that makes them Jewish.
Speaker 7 (26:53):
You know.
Speaker 9 (26:53):
They think that bagel and cream cheese is Jewish. So
these people are a not Jewish. But every poll that
I've seen in the last like two weeks has had
the number at around eighteen to twenty percent. Which listen,
let me not you know kid myself here, one out
of every five Jews in New York City voting from
mamdani is still high. But look, twenty percent of Jews
(27:17):
voting for the Democrat and eighty percent not voting for
the Democrat is actually a huge shift for the Jewish community.
And Donald Trump got somewhere in the forty percent of
Jewish vote. That has never happened before. I hope that
number continues to climb. I hope my neighborhood, not my neighborhood,
but my people continue to wake up. Because Russian Jews
have been conservatives all along. It's you know, the American
(27:39):
Jews who have been here for one hundred plus years,
who never had any strife, who don't know what the
world is like those are the people who are on
the left, and they're breeding themselves out, and the ones
that aren't are coming over to the right.
Speaker 1 (27:52):
Speaking to Krol Markowitz. Her show is on the Klaim
Book podcast Network. Go check out The Karen Markowitz Show
and also Normally, which she co hosts with Mary Catherine.
Great to listen to over this weekend. What are some
of the things on the most recent Normally podcast?
Speaker 9 (28:06):
Well, Mary Catherine and I are talking about all the
things that are in the news. We cover Tucker and Puentus,
We get into the shutdown, all the news that you're hearing.
Mary Catherine and I are on it. On Normally, we
talked Bill Gates saying that climate change is no longer
a big issue. Thanks so much for that, Bill, after
destroying so many lives along the way. We cover all
(28:27):
that with humor.
Speaker 1 (28:28):
I can I tell you, you know, I had a
friend in New York, an older guys by tennis with
very very wealthy guy, and you know, he was I
would say, a Democrat, but like a reasonable Democrat. And
one day we got crossing, you know, on the tennis court.
We're like, you know, waiting to switch sides. We're sitting
(28:49):
down on the bench, and I started talking to him
and he asked me about climate change, and he was
and I just did my usual thing. I've been the
same since I was like twelve, right, so I just
launched into my thing. This is twenty years ago. It's absurd.
We're not all gonna melt, the polar bears aren't drowning.
No one actually believes this. No one's getting a deal
on Martha's vineyard real estate because it's all going to
be underwater. Like this is all garbage, he thought, And
(29:13):
he had hurt all my other right wing stuff. He
thought I was nuts. Like he actually was like, are
you like it really unsettled him. Yeah, to those people
who think that way, now that one of their one
of the high priests of this total delusion, Bill Gates,
is like, yeah, it's actually not that big of a deal.
Barack Obama gave a speech at the Coastguard Academy saying
(29:35):
it was the biggest national security threat we faced, Carol,
climate change. Do we get any apologies from these people
for being idiots? Like? How does this go? Right?
Speaker 9 (29:46):
It's exactly. We don't get any apologies from these people.
They just get to walk back their ridiculous comments and
what we're all supposed to take it.
Speaker 8 (29:53):
I mean, Bill Gates is saying what.
Speaker 9 (29:56):
I think even you know, everybody's been saying for the
last gig plus, even people on from the liberal side.
I think of Constantine Kissing for example, he made this
point that, you know, stopping poverty is the most important thing,
not climate change.
Speaker 8 (30:11):
And if you're if you're somebody who lives.
Speaker 9 (30:13):
Somewhere without indoor plumbing and your kids, you know, need
to eat, you're not going to care about climate change.
And he said, you know, he made this point, and
that's what Bill Gates ended up saying.
Speaker 8 (30:23):
You know, three days ago, it's like, wake up.
Speaker 9 (30:25):
This is not new it's crazy. And I had the
same experience in New York, like people who thought I
was reasonable whenever we get into climate change, you know,
I would say to them, well, who's your favorite climate scientists?
And of course they would have no idea because they
don't actually study the climate science. They just say they
find whatever. The time said.
Speaker 1 (30:44):
It was funny to me because it was one of
the big differences for me was on other things, like
if I was talking to somebody about about guns, I
understand like guns matter, to me like firearms the Second Amendment,
and for them it's terrifying, but at least we're having
a discussion about something that's worth discussing, Like I want
(31:06):
to explain to them why the right to bear army
is so important, and they they think that it's going
to make all the mean, bad crime go away, if
the scary ar guns, which no one actually really uses
to kill anybody ninety nine percent of the time, it's pistoles.
On climate change, I'm like, I don't even want to
I don't even know what we're talking about here. This
is there was I don't care at all, Like there's
no discussion to be had, and yet for years they're
(31:29):
going to totally rewrite the history on this for years.
It's one of the areas I think where libs would
go the most insane on you at a cocktail party.
Speaker 8 (31:37):
Yeah, yeah, that's right. And you know, one of my points.
Speaker 9 (31:40):
About it was always like, if I'm Bill Gates and
I really believe in climate change, I cann't possibly keep
using my private plane.
Speaker 8 (31:48):
But he does so, then that means he does not
believe it. There's no reason in the whole world.
Speaker 9 (31:52):
It doesn't matter how many people talk to you on
the commercial flight. If you really believe you're flying on
a private plane causes climate change, then you wouldn't do it.
And it's same thing with like Leonardo DiCaprio, al Gore.
Speaker 8 (32:04):
All of these people just seem like they don't believe
what they're actually saying.
Speaker 1 (32:08):
Yeah, total frauds, total frauds. What are your kids for Halloween? Carol?
Speaker 9 (32:13):
The youngest one is going to be a nineteen twenties
gangster with me and my husband. He thought he was
going to be a nineteen nineties gangster and he started
using the west Side gang sign.
Speaker 8 (32:22):
Yeah, we had tell.
Speaker 9 (32:22):
Him that wasn't that kind of gangster. Middle sn is
going to be some kind of like I don't even know.
Speaker 8 (32:28):
Camouflage guy. And then the fifteen year old girl, she's
too cool.
Speaker 9 (32:32):
I don't know what she's going to be, if she's
going to be anything.
Speaker 1 (32:35):
Mm okay, yeah, Well the.
Speaker 9 (32:37):
Kids, they really they stop.
Speaker 8 (32:38):
They stopped doing what.
Speaker 9 (32:39):
You want after a certain time. So get all dressing
up in now.
Speaker 1 (32:43):
Oh, we have my dog dressed up as a Miami Heat,
you know, Miami Heat jersey. That's as festive as we
get over. Your ginger has a Miami Heat, Jersey. That's
about all.
Speaker 8 (32:53):
We love it.
Speaker 1 (32:54):
Yeah, good time everybody dressing up? Who speed? Now we're
not good? He's yeah, he's speed. Doesn't roll like that,

Talk you soon.
Speaker 1 (33:14):
When you finally decide to switch your cell phone service
to my carrier, Puretalk, you're going to immediately notice three
things the qualities. Every bit is good. Pure Talk is
on the same nationwide five G system as one of
the big three carriers, same tower, same network, same quality.
You'll have much improved customer service from an all US
based customer service team working here in the US. You'll
have fifty dollars the more left in your pocket every
(33:35):
month because Puretalk is less expensive than any other carrier.
That's because they don't have retail stores to pay for,
among other expenses. You get the savings and that starts
on day one. Twenty five dollars a month with pure
Talk gives you unlimited talk, text, and plenty of data plus.
Right now, they'll take an additional fifty percent off your
first month, and if you own a business and transfer
your lines, you could be saving even more. Dial pound
(33:55):
two fifty and say the keywords Clay and Buck and
Puretalk's US customer service team. We'll switch you over in
as little as ten minutes, plus a fifty percent off
your first month. Dial pound two five zero say Clay
and Buck to switch to America's wireless company.

Thank you.
Speaker 8 (35:41):
Sarah from Annandale Virginia.
Speaker 1 (35:43):
Oh well, first of all, jamming out to Tutsie roll
is always a good idea. Clay just called in from
the airport. Clay, I'm hearing it's rough. What's going on
air traffic control messing you up.
Speaker 6 (35:53):
Happy Halloween to everybody. I am at Midway Airport in Chicago.
I thought to myself, definitely going to make it home
to trick or Tree with my kids, so I got
here early. Everything is cataclysmic. It seems like there's all
sorts of delays everywhere. So I'm a couple of hours late.
Hopefully I'll still be home in time for Halloween. But
I actually plan for things to be awful, so I
(36:16):
think I've still got time. But this is pretty ridiculous
at this point.
Speaker 1 (36:19):
Are they telling you it's air traffic control? Is that
what's holding everything up? What's the problem.
Speaker 6 (36:25):
There's no real explanation about exactly what's going on. Just
there's a bunch of flights all over the place here canceled.
Speaker 9 (36:31):
I think.
Speaker 6 (36:31):
I mean, the weather's perfect as I'm standing here looking,
it couldn't be more spectacular. By the way, congrats to
our boss Julie Talbot. I was up here for her
Hall of Fame induction into the Radio Hall of Fame.
Well deserved. But I think there's lots of issues all
over the country right now for anybody traveling play talk
