Regime still walking back all the stuff Biden mumbled on 60 Minutes. Clay says, "Even when Biden got asked about his mental acuity, Buck, he couldn't even answer in a way that made you think, oh, yeah, this guy is sharp." New midterm polls trending positive for GOP with some big upsets in play. C&B remind, though, you still must go vote to "make this a reality." This election is about three things: MSNBC's Steve Kornacki echoes C&B: Republicans should focus on: crime, the border, and the economy. NY Governor Hochul says DA went too soft on ax assailant who went viral. Ax guy says he's misunderstood. Buck says he thinks Hochul has an IQ of 80, and when Clay laughs, Buck says, "I just call it how I see it." Clay's foam birthday party for the kids killed it, he said, though he was thoughtful of his neighbors. Buck's had it with New York City noise, which he says is by far the worst in his lifetime. Mayor Adams throws loud party in Times Square that greatly disturbed Buck and his neighbors. And how did that party jibe with what Adams still says about covid? Is Adams worse than de Blasio?

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome to today's edition of The Clay Travis and Buck
Sexton Show podcast. Welcome everybody. Tuesday edition of The Clay
Travis and Buck Sexton Show gets going right now. Much
to discuss with all of you. We have the Governor
of New York saying that the District Attorney of Manhattan
(00:21):
went soft on the axe wielding lunatic that was on
video over the weekend. A lot of people saw that
in terms of crime stories as well. Fetterman, the would
be Senator from the state of Pennsylvania, if Democrats get
their ways, trying to walk away from some papers that
he put out not long ago on how we should
(00:44):
be or rather Pennsylvania should release second degree murderers from prison.
We're going way too hard on the intentional murderers out there.
Gotta let him out over a thousand of them that
he wanted to release. Interesting, isn't because we've been releasing
a lot of people from prison. It hasn't been going well.
Hasn't been going well for the whole country. We also
(01:08):
have the Atlantic arguing that separating sports by sex Clay
makes no sense just ends all separation of sports by sex,
effectively destroying women's sports that is the new feminism for
the left. It is the natural outgrowth of men should
be able to compete against women, is that there should
(01:29):
be a unisex sports competition. And what it would mean
is women don't do sports anymore because if you just
had a basketball team as opposed to a men's and
women's basketball team, no women would ever make the men's
basketball team, And if you just had swimming, no woman
would ever be on a swimming team. So this idea
(01:49):
that somehow unisex sports are going to be good for
women is totally destroyed by the history of athletics, which
would no longer include women. And the Atlantic is they're
just they just deny obvious reality to get us to
this place. They're like, well, what's really the evidence, what
evidence is there that men are stronger and faster? And
(02:12):
then they find some outlier case or somebody who you know,
was born with But we're not We're not going there
right now. We're gonna come back to this. We're we're
gonna come back to this. This is so dumb that
it gets me fired up, Like I'm just I'm throwing
some steak into the OutKick lion case. You're chumming to
waters here is get you fired up. But something else
that gets us both fired up. I mean, this is
(02:33):
amazing everybody. So yesterday you will recall that we were
saying Joe Biden, in his sixty minutes interview over the weekend,
said the pandemic is over. He just said it straight
here we go, remember, just can we remind everybody, here's
what he said, this president first Detroit Auto show in
(02:54):
three years. Yeah, is the pandemic over? The pandemic is over.
We still have a problem with COVID. We're still doing
a lot of work on it. Okay, pandemic is over.
So he said, pandemic is over. That straightforward, as easy
as it could be, as straightforward as there's a present
United States saying the pandemic is over. Psych It turns
(03:15):
out that all the people around him, all the Biden handlers,
the Biden interpreters, you know, the people that say, oh
that that mumbling that he did, oh that was actually brilliant.
He's sharp as attack. Did you know that, Clay? You
should see him? Behind, should see him? He asked, the
most perceptive. It's amazing. Did you see him? This the buck?
By the way, speaking of sharp as attack. Did you
(03:36):
see that he had to sign the Queen's uh like
a memorial book in England yesterday and he he pulled
out cheat notes to write down what somebody else had
already written for him. Did you see that video? I
didn't because I didn't watch any of the Queen's stuff.
But this, this is crazy. He can't even write his
own condolence. He has to pull it out of his
(03:57):
pocket and copy it. But Clay, you understand when when
nobody's around, when none of the press or anybody's there,
he's reciting King Lear in three languages. He's he's a genius.
You just have to remember this everybody. That's what they
tell us. It's so ridiculous. They are walking back and
I don't mean in one or two places, a whole
(04:17):
bunch of policy officials than ever the Fouch himself says,
and I quote, what he really meant is that the
very severe stage of the pandemic, of having three thousand
deaths a day, that stage is no longer present. Okay,
(04:37):
that is not the same thing as saying the pandemic
is over correct? Why and then and then pointing out
on top of that buck he also said nobody's wearing
masks anymore. You see it everywhere like it wasn't like
it was just a miss. He leaned into it. He
was trying to do a victory lap. Why is Fouchi
correcting the President of the United States on this start
(04:58):
with that one. So if you I want to know
who really runs the show on the pandemic, because you know,
one day faucis, Oh, I'm just an advisor to one
in a cast of millions, and the next day, all
of a sudden, it's tell the president to shut up.
I got this, like he's in charge. We all know this,
and you've got here the surgeon, the Surgeon General, Vec Murthy,
another health official. Different views there of the state of
(05:22):
the pandemic. Is the pandemic over I actually don't think
they're all that different with the presidents who reflecting is
the fact that we've made tremendous progress against COVID nineteen.
We're in a very different place now and we were
at the beginning of this pandemic with significantly lower death rates.
We have all of our children back in school, if
people able to go back to work, families and friends
able to see each other. But he also said you know,
(05:43):
we have more work to do on COVID. And that's right,
and that's why doctor Faucian others have expressed as well. Now,
actually what he said is the pandemic is over. But
what's so interesting, Clay, is that administration officials anonymously told
CNN reported this morning here it is, the president's comments
do not mark a change in policy toward the administration's
(06:05):
handling of the virus. And there are no plans to
lift the public health emergency. So the President is saying
the pandemic is over, but his White House is telling
everybody in the press, oh, we still have all the
pandemic powers though. Yeah, and that's because you're exactly right.
They don't want to give up the emergency powers because
it was only a few weeks ago. Remember that Joe
(06:27):
Biden potentially spent a trillion dollars in taxpayer money to
try and cancel out student loans, and the justification for
canceling out those student loans was what COVID. And there's
still a mandate that is in place all over the
federal government for COVID shots. So if the pandemic is over,
(06:49):
then everyone who refused to get the COVID shot should
theoretically be able to come back into service, right And
they certainly no one knew should be losing their jobs
over this, but they know. First of all, this is
evidence of why Joe Biden hadn't done an interview in
seven months. He hadn't set down for an interview. And
remember this is a highly edited, sixty minutes puff piece
(07:10):
that they were intending to do, and he's unable to
answer basic questions. This was not a crazy idea that
he might get asked, is the COVID pandemic over, especially
as he walks around the Detroit Auto Show with CBS
not wearing masks. Sixty minutes is there? And all of
the gaffs buck from this interview. Every time Joe Biden
(07:33):
opens his mouth, disaster ensues. He first of all, effectively
said that we would go to war with China if
they invaded Taiwan. They had to walk that back, not
the first time he's done that. Either, that's correct, and
maybe in his defense, maybe that's intended to be some
sort of continuation of the strategic ambiguity perspective. But when
you say something and your own White House has to
(07:56):
correct you right after that's not a sign that you're
in control of the messaging inside of your White House.
He said inflation wasn't that big of a deal and
wasn't growing that much, which was such a tone deaf
comment for anybody out there dealing with over thirteen percent
increases in grocery bills in the last year. We talked
(08:16):
about the COVID pandemic. He also said he wasn't sure
if he was going to run for president. I mean,
these are all questions that you could easily, you know,
tee up, Buck, if you or I were going to
get interviewed, I could tell you six things that one
of us was going to get asked, and you can
prep and you can prepare your answer so that you
put it in the best context. He whipped on all
(08:36):
these Even when he got asked about his mental acuity, Buck,
he couldn't even answer in a way that made you think, oh, yeah,
this guy is sharp. He said, oh, just look at
my schedule when you are visible for like five percent
of the day and then you vanish. This guy is incapable.
I mean this, leave aside the political angles. This guy
(08:58):
isntally and in conjunction with it, physically unable, in my opinion,
to handle the office of the presidency. Don't even doesn't
even matter what policies he's advocating for or against. He
does not have the mental acuity or now the physical
ability to handle the office of president. And they're talking
(09:20):
about running him at eighty two flipen years old. Yeah,
and the notion the pandemic is over. On the one hand, there's,
first of all, it's been over for a long time
for anybody who is who is emotionally well, who is
psychologically stable and living in reality, the pandemic has been
over for a long time now. But beyond that, the
(09:42):
Biden administration clearly wants to keep something and I keep
saying this everybody, they're they're still fighting. They want to
be able to bring back masks on planes, you know
how you take your shoes off at the TSA, which
is so stupid and we all know it, but we
all do. They want to basically make it that with
masks on plane. They really want to have one or
two places where they're in control, where you have to
(10:05):
comply because they say so and because they're lunatics. But
there are places right now that are still requiring Smith
College a place that I actually know a bit about
for my time as never schools right all girls school
college right down the all girls college. They would not
like peogle at all girls or sorry, all women's college,
(10:25):
pardon me, Women's college, although they change their student constitution
over fifteen years ago to remove gender, so it was
an all women's college that never refers to women in
the student constitution. Because men who identify as women can
actually go to and have been able to go to
Smith for a long time, believable. It is a very
left wing place. They are requiring play updated to the
(10:49):
month or rather to the most recent iteration boosters, So
you need to be on I think it shot four
at this point. Is that shot five that they would
require or you might you might have some time to
get five. You probably need all four shots to go
to Smith. There are other schools that fall into this category. Meanwhile,
(11:14):
if you really want a sense of looney Tunes and
hat tip to our good friend Carol Markowitz for putting
this one out, New York City is ending the private
sector vaccine mandate but keeping in place the public sector
vaccine mandate, and they just fired eight hundred and fifty
teachers last week. None of this makes any sense. If
(11:35):
we had a real media every time Joe Biden started
mumbling something and you know, his vacant eyes were scanning
the room, they'd say, what do you think about this, sir?
What's going on? Or when Eric Adams, who is I'll
talk more about this throwing the loudest concert I've ever
heard in history in Times Square last night. You could
hear it a mile away. And the city's burning, and
(11:57):
he doesn't care, and we still have vaccine mandate Next week?
Is the big news here that I'm actually able to
enter into a New York City building for work legally
for the first time in years. Yeah, that's right. We
think I might have fit the special exemption that the
Yankees players got to play under because I'm traveling, you know,
with the talent from a place that's out of the
(12:21):
New York City region. But um, this will be then,
What a big day that's going to be next week
when I walk into the studio legal for the first
time in multiple years. What do you want your what
do you want your hype music to be? Return of

back in Clay, Travis Buck, Sexton show forty nine days
(13:48):
until the mid term elections are here. A lot of
people are going to be able to vote out there
listening to us very soon as early voting will start
in many different ground states and beyond. Wanted to hit
you with this. Buck. We got some early morning election
polls from the state of Georgia, which we have been following,
(14:12):
obviously aggressively, because there are two major races there for
both governor Brian Kemp, the incumbent Republican governor going up
against Stacy Abrahms. There would be New York and California
favorite governor, and it's not looking good for Stacey Abrams.
Marist Pole Buck has Brian Kemp up eleven points in
(14:37):
what was supposed to be a close race. Still want
everybody listening out there in Georgia to feel good about
the races and make sure you go. You still have
to vote to make this a reality. And then in
the Atlanta Journal Journal Constitution poll that came out this morning,
Brian Kemp with an eight point lead. So Stacy Abrams
(15:01):
is on track right now to not just lose, but
to get crushed four years after she refused to concede.
Now this will be a fun election night story to watch.
Buck how bad will Stacy Abrahams have to lose in
order for her to be willing to acknowledge that she
(15:22):
got her ass kicked. Also, the Senate race that is
going on there, we have been working hard herschel Walker
with a two point lead according to the Atlanta Journal Constitution,
but then the Marist pole that also came out today
had Warnock up two And I will just say this,
if Brian Kemp is winning by double digits, Raphael Warnock
(15:46):
is not getting elected back to the Senate in the
state of Georgia. So those are big battleground that is
important because that would flip a seat. Things are looking up.
Our friend Ron Johnson Pole just came down. He has
a four point lead in his state according to the
poll that just came out today. And things are looking
(16:08):
up with doctor Oz, who we're going to talk to
at two thirty Eastern in the final hour of this program.
As John Fetterman's campaign continues to collapse, there are a
lot of roots now Buck to a majority in the Senate,
and the trend lines are all moving in a very
positive way and Clay for some GOP candidates, it's time
(16:29):
to start throwing some long bombs into double coverage in
the end zone. My friend, you know, some low percentage
but high impact possibilities are emerging now as well. We've
got Christine Dreysen's going to be joining us later on
in the program. Because how close right now is the
(16:50):
Oregon governor's race. I mean, most people here Oregon, Well,
first they think, beautiful coastline. We love Oregon. We got
a great audience there. But in terms of the politics,
Oregon is like the East Germany of the West coast.
Let's be honest, or at least Portland and its immediate environs,
but maybe enough people there. And funny because everyone we've
(17:11):
got our audience, a lot of our people, they're like,
once you go a little bit away from Portland, away
from it actually starts to get very red, very quickly. Right,
It's like a lot of other places in the country.
But for there to be even a contest for the
Oregon governor's race, one Governor Brown is among the most
incompetent politicians in the country, right, Cape Brown of Oregon.
(17:32):
Christine Drayson will be joining us. Can you imagine if
we pulled up there's a possibility of a GOP upset
in Oregon, there's a very real possibility of a massive
GOP upset, meaning a win over HOCl here in New
York State by leez Elden. And in Minnesota, a poll
came out in their governor's race there with the Republican
(17:54):
candidate only down three points. So my point on all
this is there's a lot of pitch out there about
how things were looking bad. Things are trending really well
forty nine days out according to polls. The days when
debating politics was about which policies would benefit our countrys
are gone. We're now divided over the most fundamental issues
that defending the greatness of this country. It's miraculous founding.
(18:18):
The reason for this is symbol for too many years,
too many of our schools have been neglecting to teach
students about America's great heritage of liberty. Instead, they're getting
a dishonest narrative of America as fundamentally unjust and racist.
Hillsdale College is weighing on this with two perfectly time
video courses available free and on demand. The first is
The Great American Story, A Land of Hope and Constitution
(18:40):
one oh one. The meaning and history of the Constitution.
I encourage all of you to enroll in one of
these wonderful free online courses from Hillsdale and encourage your
friends too. Go right now to Clay and Buck four
Hillsdale dot com. That's Clay and Buck four Hillsdale dot Com.
Clay and Buck going strong, telling you the important truths,
(19:05):
including what have we been saying? What has been the mantra.
I am not a fan of face tattoos, but if
we had face tattoos on this show, it would be
GOP needs to talk about the following three things, Crime,
the border, and the economy. Right, we've been we've been
just hammering this a heaviors and all this GOP talking
(19:29):
about all this other stuff in Ukraine and you know
all the Ukraine. No no, no, no no. If we're
going to win back power to stuff, because that's the
only thing that stops the lips. One of the things
Clay I found most illuminating for a lot of folks
over the whole Martha's Vineyard migrant fiasco is these these libs.
There is a democrat mentality that has taken hold of
(19:52):
about thirty percent of the country. You cannot shame them
with hypocrisy it does not matter, or you just have
to stop them, like the same thing we're seeing with COVID.
You have to take the political power out of their
hands to keep doing crazy things. The way to do
that the border, crime, the economy, hitting those topics, and
(20:14):
over at MSNBC, Steve Kornaki is one of the smarter
guys at MSNBC. He actually crunches the numbers, he looks
at the data. He's he's he's a sharp rational, He's
a sharp fellow. Would you say he's rational. He's one
of the sharper analysts over at MSNBC for sure. And
here he is saying, Republicans, you got three things that
(20:35):
you're gonna win on. What about the issues and the
strength for each party? What you see here is you
ask people which party would you prefer on these issues?
These are the three issues where Republicans score the strongest,
the border, crime and economy by a margin at thirty
six points twenty three points in nineteen points, voters say
they would prefer the Republicans when it comes to these issues.
(20:58):
Did you I mean, I think he was twelve twenty
plus points on the border. Just so everybody understands what
a huge because we have been talking about that hitting
that hard for months and months now, and I'm glad
that because of the Martha's Vineyard situation it's coming to
the forefront. But all these things that really matter to people,
that matter to everybody in their day to day lives
(21:19):
all across this country, Clay, if the GOP goes on offense,
stops taking a knee, and actually gets the messaging right,
we could be back on track here for the red
wave we've been hoping for. Yeah, in particular on crime,
what I would say is every state, every city, if
you are a congressional candidate, senate candidate, govern ubernatorial candidate,
(21:44):
there is a story like Eliza Fletcher in Memphis in
your community. And the reason why I keep coming back
to Eliza Fletcher is completely innocent mom of two young children,
kindergarten teacher in Memphis, who was out for a ten
mile early morning jog before she comes back home to
get her family ready to start the day, and she's
(22:05):
murdered by a man who should have never been released
from prison. And also it is emerging in Memphis had
already sexually assaulted another woman since he was released early.
So if they had been able to do, if they'd
had the resources in Memphis, they would have caught this guy.
He should have never gotten out early, but they would
(22:25):
have caught him on the sexual assault before he committed
this murder. There is a story like that that crystallizes
the fear, the danger, and the reality of our rapidly
spiraling crime rates in your state, in your district, in
your region. Use it not just to focus on that
(22:46):
particular story, but to tell the larger narrative story here
of lack of safety in the communities. Buck you mentioned
Oregon and the fact that we've got a competitive race.
And Christine Drayson is going to join in this show
in the next hour. Portland. I guarantee you when we
talk to her, she is hammering Portland. Portland has seen
(23:08):
a quadrupling of its murder rate on average since twenty
nineteen to today. They had around twenty murders a year
on average for most of the twenty first century, and
then they went over eighty. When you look at the
post George Floyd era, the soft on crime era, that resonates,
(23:30):
and it particularly resonates you know who it resonates with. Moms,
people who have kids, people who are worried about the
safety of their family that might be swing voters. Crime.
There is an example that you can use in every
single community of completely innocent people being murdered because police
aren't being able to do their job and Democrats have
(23:50):
failed in blue states and blue cities to protect their constituents.
People are also noticing that viral video from over the
weekend with the guying the axe at people and breaking property,
threatening to mutilate people with an axe in a crowded
McDonald's in Lower Manhattan. He was held for two hours
(24:15):
and has since that incident, which went viral, been walking
the streets of New York like nothing happened. And now
people are gonna say, oh, but he will face justice. No,
he won't, actually, because he's going to go up against
a criminal justice system in New York. That and this
is the case in every major city in the country
right now. Pretty much. You might be able to find
(24:36):
me a few exceptions, but every major city, every large city,
you have a system that now has shifted toward being
just far too complacent, far too soft on crime, far
too willing to excuse the horrific stuff that is going
on on a day to day basis, and it's getting
(24:57):
so bad. Clay, and this is a real sign of that. Hockel,
the governor of New York who became the governor, just
remind everybody because Governor Cuomo had to resign under pressure
because of groping, not for sending seniors with COVID back
into nursing homes and then lying about the numbers covering
the whole thing up. All true, That's not why the
(25:20):
Democrats made him resign. But he grabbed a female state
trooper by the stomach or the bud or something. He
did something, you know, was grabbing people inappropriately, So he
had to leave for that. She ascends to being the
governor of New York. Where's a vaccine necklace and says
the vaccine is a gift from God. I honestly think
she has an IQ in the low eighties. And I'm just,
(25:43):
I'm just I call it like it is. She's running
against Liezeldon, who's a serious guy, a smart guy, and
she had to call out the DA in Manhattan and say, yeah,
that was like, wait, you're this is a problem when
you have the crazy axe wielding guy out within two
hours no bail, no bail, and hope that he shows
up at court, and hope that he's actually punished in
(26:05):
some way that he realizes you can't threaten strangers with
an axe because you're having a bad day. When the
governor of New York is calling it out, that's because
the Democrats have a pride. I saw a headline and
I couldn't help but laugh. I think it was a
New York Post said and the headline was, and I'm
paraphrasing here, it was something like axe guy says, he's misunderstood,
(26:26):
not really violent when you're referred to as axe guy,
and saying, I guess he did an interview saying that
he was misunderstood, misunderstood. He's not really a bad guy.
He just had a rough day, as one does. He
pulled his axe out and started chopping up McDonald's. But
it's just that's not really him. That what you saw
(26:46):
on that video. It is pretty funny to think about
axe Guy claiming that he's just misunderstood. But that's the
world that we live in now, where you know, criminals
don't even go to jail. You got guys with axes,
as I pointed out, unless you are a fireman in
New York City. I would think the number of people
who really need an axe to go to McDonald's for
(27:09):
any reason, Like not a lot of wood shopping going
on in Midtown Manhattan, not a lot of trees that
need to be brought down. I wouldn't imagine on a
regular basis, like not a lot of lumber business on
the lower And that was down near Tribeca, right, yeah
it was. It was downtown, was on De Lancy. So
I guess it's a lower eas side that I get
(27:30):
that right producer Ally, I've only lived here almost forty years.
There we go. Yeah, So I thought that was just
a perfect representation. But those stories what I'm talking about.
There is a violent viral crime video in every single
major city in America, and all of you listening to
me right now can think in your head of a
story that you have seen recently that has made you
(27:51):
feel unsafe as we are back into a high crime
era in the United States. So I also want to actually,
you know, what can I tell everybody about the what
the mayor is focused on here in New York? Would
we come back and great tease last night? Because guess
what everybody there was a there were two homeless guys
(28:13):
throwing trash cans at each other's faces in broad daylight.
And then later that same day in that same place,
the mayor's throwing a big concert. Hashtag Rise Up NYC.
As if that's gonna help things, we'll talk about it.
Summer maybe officially coming to a close, but that's not
(28:34):
meaning that you can't continue to get incredible offers right
now on your My Pillow products. Right now, sandal slides
made with My Pillows patented impact gel makes them super
comfortable to wear, all of the impact and pressure absorbed
by that gel. Same is true with the new slippers.
They're made to be warm year round. You can get
(28:55):
them for under thirty dollars a pair right now. They're
incredibly comfortable. I told you that my wife wears these
things everywhere, and it's got a round the same size

I mean, I'll let you t off on New York
City's parties. I will say this. I don't know if
you saw this. We can grab the video and put
it up on Clay and Buck. As my wife shared it.
Got to make sure she's okay sharing things. We had
(29:58):
a eight year old backyard foam party. Have you ever
been to a phone party? Buck? Like back in do
you remember the back in the day spring break you
went to Mexico like Cancoon, Portavallarta, wherever you might be
in Mexico, they would throw these foam parties. We did
it for eight year olds in the backyard and it
(30:19):
was killer. I mean, we had the kids had such
an incredible time. First time I've seen a phone party
in a long time. But I told my kids, I
was like, hey, we got to be done here before
it's too late at night. And they came back from
a football game on Saturday and they were running around
the backyard screaming and yelling. We got neighbors because you
(30:40):
don't want to be throwing such an event that your
neighbors can't go to sleep at night. And Buck, this
is what you were dealing with last night in New
York City. They can't keep people safe, but they can
shut down Times Square and throw it. And let's be honest,
you hate music that you don't want to listen to
being spread widely. We talked about this at the beach. Yes,
(31:01):
you're very anti people being able to basic excessive noise.
I'm gonna tell you this right now. I am fighting
a one man battle globally against unnecessary noise and music.
For example, the people who think that at the gym
or at a restaurant having a loud speaker phone or
(31:22):
even FaceTime conversation, there needs to be some I don't
know if it's fines. I don't know how we get
them to stop this, but people like to make too
much noise. The cars that people modify so it sounds
like an F eighteen jet taking off of an aircraft
carrier that's actually not legal in New York City, and
(31:42):
people need to have fines. So there's a lot of things.
Living in New York City and being upset at noise
is really no no, no, no no. People say this,
no no, there's acceptable city noise. And then there's what's
happened in the last few years. This is what all
the people don't live in New York City. I've lived
here my whole life. Nobody knows this place than I do. Okay,
I was born here, raised here. I'm not one of
(32:03):
these people that you know comes from far else, somewhere
else and then sits here. Oh I'm a New Yorker,
been here my whole life. The noise situation is out
of control in the city. Yes, I'm a little get
off my lawn right now, but I don't care. It's true.
So you're arguing right now, the noise is worse in
New York City than it ever has been before in
your life. As in New York one true New York
(32:24):
City has more excessive noise right now, particularly from there
are like dirt bike gangs, and there's been this has
been written about. There'll be a one hundred crazy. I
didn't know about this. They're just people riding around on
bikes like people ride around on ATVs on the streets.
Totally illegal, and they'll do this and the city has
started to seize, like a couple of them here and there,
(32:45):
and they're really egregious. But it actually sounds like mad
Max Fury Roads sometimes out there whole whole groups, like
gangs of people on motorcycles ATVs, dirt bikes not allowed
in the streets. They modify these cars and they basically
drag race through Times Square. It's the whole thing is
is a violation city or anyway. It's out of control.
(33:08):
The city won't do anything about it. There's more trash
on the streets than I've ever seen. I have the
video of two vagrants not just throwing I thought it
was initially just trash bags. It went back. One of
them actually went back and grabbed the metal trash, you know,
big metal track, and through that at the other guy.
Broad daylight cops there doing nothing. The cops do nothing.
(33:29):
And I don't know who to be more upset at,
the cops who do nothing while this is going on,
or the city that makes it so that those cops
if they do anything, might lose their jobs and be
treated like, you know, they're horrible people that are against
the equity agenda. They had this. It was called the
Rise Up NYC and the subheadline is unity, Freedom, Respect.
(33:54):
The Mayor of New York City who is busy being
a celebrity, I mean he really is now an Instagram
influencer who happens to show up to the Mayor's office sometimes.
He decided we needed ten concerts at taxpayer expense, ten
of them, and one of them was two nights in
Times Square, so I guess it was Sunday, and then
(34:15):
last night. It's a Monday night in the middle of September.
When I tell you that you could hear this from
a half mile away, I am not exaggerating. You could
be their big crowd. No, they're like a thousand people
there in Time Square's nothing. I threw parties in college
that were bigger than this, and they had you could
(34:36):
ask the campus police. And it was the loudest. My
windows were shaking. There are other people, just you know,
on my building. Everybody was kind of congregating in the lobby,
being like, how much more of this madness do we
have to hear. I did see someone complain on Twitter
that there was usually Broadway shows I think are dark
on Monday nights, but there was some kind of a
Broadway show going on. This blasted right through into the theater.
(34:59):
So all you're hearing was was this music. And look,
there's a lot of we could talk about. The city
is not really in a financial position to be spending
money on ten concerts. It was like, uh, why Cleft
John back in the day and Shaggy It wasn't me,
and Shaggy been there. I actually did hear the it
(35:20):
wasn't me, as though I was right there next to him,
so it was here. He is the entire Democrat argument
now about everything COVID related. But as I mean, he's
shutting down schools all up. I bring all this up
because there's just such a such a recklessness and and
such an unseriousness at the heart of this mayoral administration.
(35:40):
When you know, we see all these videos, all these
photos of the mayor. He's at Zero Bond, which is
this ultra fancy club in New York where all the
cool people and the models and celebrities hang out. He's
doing the celebrity thing the crime in New York City
is worse now than it was under Dublasio. He's throwing
insanely loud parties while it's mad Max Fury Road out
(36:03):
there on the streets. Violent crime is through the roof.
And I know people I know Democrats were like, oh,
I think Mayor Adams is gonna run for president one day,
run for president. This guy's worse than Deblasio. So no, then, Deblasio,
it's true, worse than the worst mayor in the history
of New yorse than the worst He's honestly like the
(36:26):
throwing this party last night. You know, some of us
had jobs we had to get up for the next day.
It went to like eleven thirty at night. What is
this outrageous? You sound like you're eighty five years old. Fine,
but it's true. When do we come back, if Buck
can make it through a commercial break and still be
with us, we're gonna talk about whether men's and women's
(36:50):
sports should even be separated. Really,
Welcome to today's edition of The Clay Travis and Buck
Sexton Show podcast. Welcome everybody. Tuesday edition of The Clay
Travis and Buck Sexton Show gets going right now. Much
to discuss with all of you. We have the Governor
of New York saying that the District Attorney of Manhattan
(00:21):
went soft on the axe wielding lunatic that was on
video over the weekend. A lot of people saw that
in terms of crime stories as well. Fetterman, the would
be Senator from the state of Pennsylvania, if Democrats get
their ways, trying to walk away from some papers that
he put out not long ago on how we should
(00:44):
be or rather Pennsylvania should release second degree murderers from prison.
We're going way too hard on the intentional murderers out there.
Gotta let him out over a thousand of them that
he wanted to release. Interesting, isn't because we've been releasing
a lot of people from prison. It hasn't been going well.
Hasn't been going well for the whole country. We also
(01:08):
have the Atlantic arguing that separating sports by sex Clay
makes no sense just ends all separation of sports by sex,
effectively destroying women's sports that is the new feminism for
the left. It is the natural outgrowth of men should
be able to compete against women, is that there should
(01:29):
be a unisex sports competition. And what it would mean
is women don't do sports anymore because if you just
had a basketball team as opposed to a men's and
women's basketball team, no women would ever make the men's
basketball team, And if you just had swimming, no woman
would ever be on a swimming team. So this idea
(01:49):
that somehow unisex sports are going to be good for
women is totally destroyed by the history of athletics, which
would no longer include women. And the Atlantic is they're
just they just deny obvious reality to get us to
this place. They're like, well, what's really the evidence, what
evidence is there that men are stronger and faster? And
(02:12):
then they find some outlier case or somebody who you know,
was born with But we're not We're not going there
right now. We're gonna come back to this. We're we're
gonna come back to this. This is so dumb that
it gets me fired up, Like I'm just I'm throwing
some steak into the OutKick lion case. You're chumming to
waters here is get you fired up. But something else
that gets us both fired up. I mean, this is
(02:33):
amazing everybody. So yesterday you will recall that we were
saying Joe Biden, in his sixty minutes interview over the weekend,
said the pandemic is over. He just said it straight
here we go, remember, just can we remind everybody, here's
what he said, this president first Detroit Auto show in
(02:54):
three years. Yeah, is the pandemic over? The pandemic is over.
We still have a problem with COVID. We're still doing
a lot of work on it. Okay, pandemic is over.
So he said, pandemic is over. That straightforward, as easy
as it could be, as straightforward as there's a present
United States saying the pandemic is over. Psych It turns
(03:15):
out that all the people around him, all the Biden handlers,
the Biden interpreters, you know, the people that say, oh
that that mumbling that he did, oh that was actually brilliant.
He's sharp as attack. Did you know that, Clay? You
should see him? Behind, should see him? He asked, the
most perceptive. It's amazing. Did you see him? This the buck?
By the way, speaking of sharp as attack. Did you
(03:36):
see that he had to sign the Queen's uh like
a memorial book in England yesterday and he he pulled
out cheat notes to write down what somebody else had
already written for him. Did you see that video? I
didn't because I didn't watch any of the Queen's stuff.
But this, this is crazy. He can't even write his
own condolence. He has to pull it out of his
(03:57):
pocket and copy it. But Clay, you understand when when
nobody's around, when none of the press or anybody's there,
he's reciting King Lear in three languages. He's he's a genius.
You just have to remember this everybody. That's what they
tell us. It's so ridiculous. They are walking back and
I don't mean in one or two places, a whole
(04:17):
bunch of policy officials than ever the Fouch himself says,
and I quote, what he really meant is that the
very severe stage of the pandemic, of having three thousand
deaths a day, that stage is no longer present. Okay,
(04:37):
that is not the same thing as saying the pandemic
is over correct? Why and then and then pointing out
on top of that buck he also said nobody's wearing
masks anymore. You see it everywhere like it wasn't like
it was just a miss. He leaned into it. He
was trying to do a victory lap. Why is Fouchi
correcting the President of the United States on this start
(04:58):
with that one. So if you I want to know
who really runs the show on the pandemic, because you know,
one day faucis, Oh, I'm just an advisor to one
in a cast of millions, and the next day, all
of a sudden, it's tell the president to shut up.
I got this, like he's in charge. We all know this,
and you've got here the surgeon, the Surgeon General, Vec Murthy,
another health official. Different views there of the state of
(05:22):
the pandemic. Is the pandemic over I actually don't think
they're all that different with the presidents who reflecting is
the fact that we've made tremendous progress against COVID nineteen.
We're in a very different place now and we were
at the beginning of this pandemic with significantly lower death rates.
We have all of our children back in school, if
people able to go back to work, families and friends
able to see each other. But he also said you know,
(05:43):
we have more work to do on COVID. And that's right,
and that's why doctor Faucian others have expressed as well. Now,
actually what he said is the pandemic is over. But
what's so interesting, Clay, is that administration officials anonymously told
CNN reported this morning here it is, the president's comments
do not mark a change in policy toward the administration's
(06:05):
handling of the virus. And there are no plans to
lift the public health emergency. So the President is saying
the pandemic is over, but his White House is telling
everybody in the press, oh, we still have all the
pandemic powers though. Yeah, and that's because you're exactly right.
They don't want to give up the emergency powers because
it was only a few weeks ago. Remember that Joe
(06:27):
Biden potentially spent a trillion dollars in taxpayer money to
try and cancel out student loans, and the justification for
canceling out those student loans was what COVID. And there's
still a mandate that is in place all over the
federal government for COVID shots. So if the pandemic is over,
(06:49):
then everyone who refused to get the COVID shot should
theoretically be able to come back into service, right And
they certainly no one knew should be losing their jobs
over this, but they know. First of all, this is
evidence of why Joe Biden hadn't done an interview in
seven months. He hadn't set down for an interview. And
remember this is a highly edited, sixty minutes puff piece
(07:10):
that they were intending to do, and he's unable to
answer basic questions. This was not a crazy idea that
he might get asked, is the COVID pandemic over, especially
as he walks around the Detroit Auto Show with CBS
not wearing masks. Sixty minutes is there? And all of
the gaffs buck from this interview. Every time Joe Biden
(07:33):
opens his mouth, disaster ensues. He first of all, effectively
said that we would go to war with China if
they invaded Taiwan. They had to walk that back, not
the first time he's done that. Either, that's correct, and
maybe in his defense, maybe that's intended to be some
sort of continuation of the strategic ambiguity perspective. But when
you say something and your own White House has to
(07:56):
correct you right after that's not a sign that you're
in control of the messaging inside of your White House.
He said inflation wasn't that big of a deal and
wasn't growing that much, which was such a tone deaf
comment for anybody out there dealing with over thirteen percent
increases in grocery bills in the last year. We talked
(08:16):
about the COVID pandemic. He also said he wasn't sure
if he was going to run for president. I mean,
these are all questions that you could easily, you know,
tee up, Buck, if you or I were going to
get interviewed, I could tell you six things that one
of us was going to get asked, and you can
prep and you can prepare your answer so that you
put it in the best context. He whipped on all
(08:36):
these Even when he got asked about his mental acuity, Buck,
he couldn't even answer in a way that made you think, oh, yeah,
this guy is sharp. He said, oh, just look at
my schedule when you are visible for like five percent
of the day and then you vanish. This guy is incapable.
I mean this, leave aside the political angles. This guy
(08:58):
isntally and in conjunction with it, physically unable, in my opinion,
to handle the office of the presidency. Don't even doesn't
even matter what policies he's advocating for or against. He
does not have the mental acuity or now the physical
ability to handle the office of president. And they're talking
(09:20):
about running him at eighty two flipen years old. Yeah,
and the notion the pandemic is over. On the one hand, there's,
first of all, it's been over for a long time
for anybody who is who is emotionally well, who is
psychologically stable and living in reality, the pandemic has been
over for a long time now. But beyond that, the
(09:42):
Biden administration clearly wants to keep something and I keep
saying this everybody, they're they're still fighting. They want to
be able to bring back masks on planes, you know
how you take your shoes off at the TSA, which
is so stupid and we all know it, but we
all do. They want to basically make it that with
masks on plane. They really want to have one or
two places where they're in control, where you have to
(10:05):
comply because they say so and because they're lunatics. But
there are places right now that are still requiring Smith
College a place that I actually know a bit about
for my time as never schools right all girls school
college right down the all girls college. They would not
like peogle at all girls or sorry, all women's college,
(10:25):
pardon me, Women's college, although they change their student constitution
over fifteen years ago to remove gender, so it was
an all women's college that never refers to women in
the student constitution. Because men who identify as women can
actually go to and have been able to go to
Smith for a long time, believable. It is a very
left wing place. They are requiring play updated to the
(10:49):
month or rather to the most recent iteration boosters, So
you need to be on I think it shot four
at this point. Is that shot five that they would
require or you might you might have some time to
get five. You probably need all four shots to go
to Smith. There are other schools that fall into this category. Meanwhile,
(11:14):
if you really want a sense of looney Tunes and
hat tip to our good friend Carol Markowitz for putting
this one out, New York City is ending the private
sector vaccine mandate but keeping in place the public sector
vaccine mandate, and they just fired eight hundred and fifty
teachers last week. None of this makes any sense. If
(11:35):
we had a real media every time Joe Biden started
mumbling something and you know, his vacant eyes were scanning
the room, they'd say, what do you think about this, sir?
What's going on? Or when Eric Adams, who is I'll
talk more about this throwing the loudest concert I've ever
heard in history in Times Square last night. You could
hear it a mile away. And the city's burning, and
(11:57):
he doesn't care, and we still have vaccine mandate Next week?
Is the big news here that I'm actually able to
enter into a New York City building for work legally
for the first time in years. Yeah, that's right. We
think I might have fit the special exemption that the
Yankees players got to play under because I'm traveling, you know,
with the talent from a place that's out of the
(12:21):
New York City region. But um, this will be then,
What a big day that's going to be next week
when I walk into the studio legal for the first
time in multiple years. What do you want your what

back in Clay, Travis Buck, Sexton show forty nine days
(13:48):
until the mid term elections are here. A lot of
people are going to be able to vote out there
listening to us very soon as early voting will start
in many different ground states and beyond. Wanted to hit
you with this. Buck. We got some early morning election
polls from the state of Georgia, which we have been following,
(14:12):
obviously aggressively, because there are two major races there for
both governor Brian Kemp, the incumbent Republican governor going up
against Stacy Abrahms. There would be New York and California
favorite governor, and it's not looking good for Stacey Abrams.
Marist Pole Buck has Brian Kemp up eleven points in
(14:37):
what was supposed to be a close race. Still want
everybody listening out there in Georgia to feel good about
the races and make sure you go. You still have
to vote to make this a reality. And then in
the Atlanta Journal Journal Constitution poll that came out this morning,
Brian Kemp with an eight point lead. So Stacy Abrams
(15:01):
is on track right now to not just lose, but
to get crushed four years after she refused to concede.
Now this will be a fun election night story to watch.
Buck how bad will Stacy Abrahams have to lose in
order for her to be willing to acknowledge that she
(15:22):
got her ass kicked. Also, the Senate race that is
going on there, we have been working hard herschel Walker
with a two point lead according to the Atlanta Journal Constitution,
but then the Marist pole that also came out today
had Warnock up two And I will just say this,
if Brian Kemp is winning by double digits, Raphael Warnock
(15:46):
is not getting elected back to the Senate in the
state of Georgia. So those are big battleground that is
important because that would flip a seat. Things are looking up.
Our friend Ron Johnson Pole just came down. He has
a four point lead in his state according to the
poll that just came out today. And things are looking
(16:08):
up with doctor Oz, who we're going to talk to
at two thirty Eastern in the final hour of this program.
As John Fetterman's campaign continues to collapse, there are a
lot of roots now Buck to a majority in the Senate,
and the trend lines are all moving in a very
positive way and Clay for some GOP candidates, it's time
(16:29):
to start throwing some long bombs into double coverage in
the end zone. My friend, you know, some low percentage
but high impact possibilities are emerging now as well. We've
got Christine Dreysen's going to be joining us later on
in the program. Because how close right now is the
(16:50):
Oregon governor's race. I mean, most people here Oregon, Well,
first they think, beautiful coastline. We love Oregon. We got
a great audience there. But in terms of the politics,
Oregon is like the East Germany of the West coast.
Let's be honest, or at least Portland and its immediate environs,
but maybe enough people there. And funny because everyone we've
(17:11):
got our audience, a lot of our people, they're like,
once you go a little bit away from Portland, away
from it actually starts to get very red, very quickly. Right,
It's like a lot of other places in the country.
But for there to be even a contest for the
Oregon governor's race, one Governor Brown is among the most
incompetent politicians in the country, right, Cape Brown of Oregon.
(17:32):
Christine Drayson will be joining us. Can you imagine if
we pulled up there's a possibility of a GOP upset
in Oregon, there's a very real possibility of a massive
GOP upset, meaning a win over HOCl here in New
York State by leez Elden. And in Minnesota, a poll
came out in their governor's race there with the Republican
(17:54):
candidate only down three points. So my point on all
this is there's a lot of pitch out there about
how things were looking bad. Things are trending really well
forty nine days out according to polls. The days when
debating politics was about which policies would benefit our countrys
are gone. We're now divided over the most fundamental issues
that defending the greatness of this country. It's miraculous founding.
(18:18):
The reason for this is symbol for too many years,
too many of our schools have been neglecting to teach
students about America's great heritage of liberty. Instead, they're getting
a dishonest narrative of America as fundamentally unjust and racist.
Hillsdale College is weighing on this with two perfectly time
video courses available free and on demand. The first is
The Great American Story, A Land of Hope and Constitution
(18:40):
one oh one. The meaning and history of the Constitution.
I encourage all of you to enroll in one of
these wonderful free online courses from Hillsdale and encourage your
friends too. Go right now to Clay and Buck four
Hillsdale dot com. That's Clay and Buck four Hillsdale dot Com.
Clay and Buck going strong, telling you the important truths,
(19:05):
including what have we been saying? What has been the mantra.
I am not a fan of face tattoos, but if
we had face tattoos on this show, it would be
GOP needs to talk about the following three things, Crime,
the border, and the economy. Right, we've been we've been
just hammering this a heaviors and all this GOP talking
(19:29):
about all this other stuff in Ukraine and you know
all the Ukraine. No no, no, no no. If we're
going to win back power to stuff, because that's the
only thing that stops the lips. One of the things
Clay I found most illuminating for a lot of folks
over the whole Martha's Vineyard migrant fiasco is these these libs.
There is a democrat mentality that has taken hold of
(19:52):
about thirty percent of the country. You cannot shame them
with hypocrisy it does not matter, or you just have
to stop them, like the same thing we're seeing with COVID.
You have to take the political power out of their
hands to keep doing crazy things. The way to do
that the border, crime, the economy, hitting those topics, and
(20:14):
over at MSNBC, Steve Kornaki is one of the smarter
guys at MSNBC. He actually crunches the numbers, he looks
at the data. He's he's he's a sharp rational, He's
a sharp fellow. Would you say he's rational. He's one
of the sharper analysts over at MSNBC for sure. And
here he is saying, Republicans, you got three things that
(20:35):
you're gonna win on. What about the issues and the
strength for each party? What you see here is you
ask people which party would you prefer on these issues?
These are the three issues where Republicans score the strongest,
the border, crime and economy by a margin at thirty
six points twenty three points in nineteen points, voters say
they would prefer the Republicans when it comes to these issues.
(20:58):
Did you I mean, I think he was twelve twenty
plus points on the border. Just so everybody understands what
a huge because we have been talking about that hitting
that hard for months and months now, and I'm glad
that because of the Martha's Vineyard situation it's coming to
the forefront. But all these things that really matter to people,
that matter to everybody in their day to day lives
(21:19):
all across this country, Clay, if the GOP goes on offense,
stops taking a knee, and actually gets the messaging right,
we could be back on track here for the red
wave we've been hoping for. Yeah, in particular on crime,
what I would say is every state, every city, if
you are a congressional candidate, senate candidate, govern ubernatorial candidate,
(21:44):
there is a story like Eliza Fletcher in Memphis in
your community. And the reason why I keep coming back
to Eliza Fletcher is completely innocent mom of two young children,
kindergarten teacher in Memphis, who was out for a ten
mile early morning jog before she comes back home to
get her family ready to start the day, and she's
(22:05):
murdered by a man who should have never been released
from prison. And also it is emerging in Memphis had
already sexually assaulted another woman since he was released early.
So if they had been able to do, if they'd
had the resources in Memphis, they would have caught this guy.
He should have never gotten out early, but they would
(22:25):
have caught him on the sexual assault before he committed
this murder. There is a story like that that crystallizes
the fear, the danger, and the reality of our rapidly
spiraling crime rates in your state, in your district, in
your region. Use it not just to focus on that
(22:46):
particular story, but to tell the larger narrative story here
of lack of safety in the communities. Buck you mentioned
Oregon and the fact that we've got a competitive race.
And Christine Drayson is going to join in this show
in the next hour. Portland. I guarantee you when we
talk to her, she is hammering Portland. Portland has seen
(23:08):
a quadrupling of its murder rate on average since twenty
nineteen to today. They had around twenty murders a year
on average for most of the twenty first century, and
then they went over eighty. When you look at the
post George Floyd era, the soft on crime era, that resonates,
(23:30):
and it particularly resonates you know who it resonates with. Moms,
people who have kids, people who are worried about the
safety of their family that might be swing voters. Crime.
There is an example that you can use in every
single community of completely innocent people being murdered because police
aren't being able to do their job and Democrats have
(23:50):
failed in blue states and blue cities to protect their constituents.
People are also noticing that viral video from over the
weekend with the guying the axe at people and breaking property,
threatening to mutilate people with an axe in a crowded
McDonald's in Lower Manhattan. He was held for two hours
(24:15):
and has since that incident, which went viral, been walking
the streets of New York like nothing happened. And now
people are gonna say, oh, but he will face justice. No,
he won't, actually, because he's going to go up against
a criminal justice system in New York. That and this
is the case in every major city in the country
right now. Pretty much. You might be able to find
(24:36):
me a few exceptions, but every major city, every large city,
you have a system that now has shifted toward being
just far too complacent, far too soft on crime, far
too willing to excuse the horrific stuff that is going
on on a day to day basis, and it's getting
(24:57):
so bad. Clay, and this is a real sign of that. Hockel,
the governor of New York who became the governor, just
remind everybody because Governor Cuomo had to resign under pressure
because of groping, not for sending seniors with COVID back
into nursing homes and then lying about the numbers covering
the whole thing up. All true, That's not why the
(25:20):
Democrats made him resign. But he grabbed a female state
trooper by the stomach or the bud or something. He
did something, you know, was grabbing people inappropriately, So he
had to leave for that. She ascends to being the
governor of New York. Where's a vaccine necklace and says
the vaccine is a gift from God. I honestly think
she has an IQ in the low eighties. And I'm just,
(25:43):
I'm just I call it like it is. She's running
against Liezeldon, who's a serious guy, a smart guy, and
she had to call out the DA in Manhattan and say, yeah,
that was like, wait, you're this is a problem when
you have the crazy axe wielding guy out within two
hours no bail, no bail, and hope that he shows
up at court, and hope that he's actually punished in
(26:05):
some way that he realizes you can't threaten strangers with
an axe because you're having a bad day. When the
governor of New York is calling it out, that's because
the Democrats have a pride. I saw a headline and
I couldn't help but laugh. I think it was a
New York Post said and the headline was, and I'm
paraphrasing here, it was something like axe guy says, he's misunderstood,
(26:26):
not really violent when you're referred to as axe guy,
and saying, I guess he did an interview saying that
he was misunderstood, misunderstood. He's not really a bad guy.
He just had a rough day, as one does. He
pulled his axe out and started chopping up McDonald's. But
it's just that's not really him. That what you saw
(26:46):
on that video. It is pretty funny to think about
axe Guy claiming that he's just misunderstood. But that's the
world that we live in now, where you know, criminals
don't even go to jail. You got guys with axes,
as I pointed out, unless you are a fireman in
New York City. I would think the number of people
who really need an axe to go to McDonald's for
(27:09):
any reason, Like not a lot of wood shopping going
on in Midtown Manhattan, not a lot of trees that
need to be brought down. I wouldn't imagine on a
regular basis, like not a lot of lumber business on
the lower And that was down near Tribeca, right, yeah
it was. It was downtown, was on De Lancy. So
I guess it's a lower eas side that I get
(27:30):
that right producer Ally, I've only lived here almost forty years.
There we go. Yeah, So I thought that was just
a perfect representation. But those stories what I'm talking about.
There is a violent viral crime video in every single
major city in America, and all of you listening to
me right now can think in your head of a
story that you have seen recently that has made you
(27:51):
feel unsafe as we are back into a high crime
era in the United States. So I also want to actually,
you know, what can I tell everybody about the what
the mayor is focused on here in New York? Would
we come back and great tease last night? Because guess
what everybody there was a there were two homeless guys
(28:13):
throwing trash cans at each other's faces in broad daylight.
And then later that same day in that same place,
the mayor's throwing a big concert. Hashtag Rise Up NYC.
As if that's gonna help things, we'll talk about it.
Summer maybe officially coming to a close, but that's not
(28:34):
meaning that you can't continue to get incredible offers right
now on your My Pillow products. Right now, sandal slides

(29:36):
Can also call eight hundred seven nine two thirty two

I mean, I'll let you t off on New York
City's parties. I will say this. I don't know if
you saw this. We can grab the video and put
it up on Clay and Buck. As my wife shared it.
Got to make sure she's okay sharing things. We had
(29:58):
a eight year old backyard foam party. Have you ever
been to a phone party? Buck? Like back in do
you remember the back in the day spring break you
went to Mexico like Cancoon, Portavallarta, wherever you might be
in Mexico, they would throw these foam parties. We did
it for eight year olds in the backyard and it
(30:19):
was killer. I mean, we had the kids had such
an incredible time. First time I've seen a phone party
in a long time. But I told my kids, I
was like, hey, we got to be done here before
it's too late at night. And they came back from
a football game on Saturday and they were running around
the backyard screaming and yelling. We got neighbors because you
(30:40):
don't want to be throwing such an event that your
neighbors can't go to sleep at night. And Buck, this
is what you were dealing with last night in New
York City. They can't keep people safe, but they can
shut down Times Square and throw it. And let's be honest,
you hate music that you don't want to listen to
being spread widely. We talked about this at the beach. Yes,
(31:01):
you're very anti people being able to basic excessive noise.
I'm gonna tell you this right now. I am fighting
a one man battle globally against unnecessary noise and music.
For example, the people who think that at the gym
or at a restaurant having a loud speaker phone or
(31:22):
even FaceTime conversation, there needs to be some I don't
know if it's fines. I don't know how we get
them to stop this, but people like to make too
much noise. The cars that people modify so it sounds
like an F eighteen jet taking off of an aircraft
carrier that's actually not legal in New York City, and
(31:42):
people need to have fines. So there's a lot of things.
Living in New York City and being upset at noise
is really no no, no, no no. People say this,
no no, there's acceptable city noise. And then there's what's
happened in the last few years. This is what all
the people don't live in New York City. I've lived
here my whole life. Nobody knows this place than I do. Okay,
I was born here, raised here. I'm not one of
(32:03):
these people that you know comes from far else, somewhere
else and then sits here. Oh I'm a New Yorker,
been here my whole life. The noise situation is out
of control in the city. Yes, I'm a little get
off my lawn right now, but I don't care. It's true.
So you're arguing right now, the noise is worse in
New York City than it ever has been before in
your life. As in New York one true New York
(32:24):
City has more excessive noise right now, particularly from there
are like dirt bike gangs, and there's been this has
been written about. There'll be a one hundred crazy. I
didn't know about this. They're just people riding around on
bikes like people ride around on ATVs on the streets.
Totally illegal, and they'll do this and the city has
started to seize, like a couple of them here and there,
(32:45):
and they're really egregious. But it actually sounds like mad
Max Fury Roads sometimes out there whole whole groups, like
gangs of people on motorcycles ATVs, dirt bikes not allowed
in the streets. They modify these cars and they basically
drag race through Times Square. It's the whole thing is
is a violation city or anyway. It's out of control.
(33:08):
The city won't do anything about it. There's more trash
on the streets than I've ever seen. I have the
video of two vagrants not just throwing I thought it
was initially just trash bags. It went back. One of
them actually went back and grabbed the metal trash, you know,
big metal track, and through that at the other guy.
Broad daylight cops there doing nothing. The cops do nothing.
(33:29):
And I don't know who to be more upset at,
the cops who do nothing while this is going on,
or the city that makes it so that those cops
if they do anything, might lose their jobs and be
treated like, you know, they're horrible people that are against
the equity agenda. They had this. It was called the
Rise Up NYC and the subheadline is unity, Freedom, Respect.
(33:54):
The Mayor of New York City who is busy being
a celebrity, I mean he really is now an Instagram
influencer who happens to show up to the Mayor's office sometimes.
He decided we needed ten concerts at taxpayer expense, ten
of them, and one of them was two nights in
Times Square, so I guess it was Sunday, and then
(34:15):
last night. It's a Monday night in the middle of September.
When I tell you that you could hear this from
a half mile away, I am not exaggerating. You could
be their big crowd. No, they're like a thousand people
there in Time Square's nothing. I threw parties in college
that were bigger than this, and they had you could
(34:36):
ask the campus police. And it was the loudest. My
windows were shaking. There are other people, just you know,
on my building. Everybody was kind of congregating in the lobby,
being like, how much more of this madness do we
have to hear. I did see someone complain on Twitter
that there was usually Broadway shows I think are dark
on Monday nights, but there was some kind of a
Broadway show going on. This blasted right through into the theater.
(34:59):
So all you're hearing was was this music. And look,
there's a lot of we could talk about. The city
is not really in a financial position to be spending
money on ten concerts. It was like, uh, why Cleft
John back in the day and Shaggy It wasn't me,
and Shaggy been there. I actually did hear the it
(35:20):
wasn't me, as though I was right there next to him,
so it was here. He is the entire Democrat argument
now about everything COVID related. But as I mean, he's
shutting down schools all up. I bring all this up
because there's just such a such a recklessness and and
such an unseriousness at the heart of this mayoral administration.
(35:40):
When you know, we see all these videos, all these
photos of the mayor. He's at Zero Bond, which is
this ultra fancy club in New York where all the
cool people and the models and celebrities hang out. He's
doing the celebrity thing the crime in New York City
is worse now than it was under Dublasio. He's throwing
insanely loud parties while it's mad Max Fury Road out
(36:03):
there on the streets. Violent crime is through the roof.
And I know people I know Democrats were like, oh,
I think Mayor Adams is gonna run for president one day,
run for president. This guy's worse than Deblasio. So no, then, Deblasio,
it's true, worse than the worst mayor in the history
of New yorse than the worst He's honestly like the
(36:26):
throwing this party last night. You know, some of us
had jobs we had to get up for the next day.
It went to like eleven thirty at night. What is
this outrageous? You sound like you're eighty five years old. Fine,
but it's true. When do we come back, if Buck
can make it through a commercial break and still be
with us, we're gonna talk about whether men's and women's
(36:50):
sports should even be separated. Really,
