Hour 1 of The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show delivers a fast-paced, politically charged discussion centered on breaking news, ideological battles, and cultural commentary. The hour opens with the Senate’s landmark vote to defund PBS and NPR, a conservative goal decades in the making. The hosts frame this as a generational shift in media accountability, pending final approval from the House.
A major focus of the hour is the rise of Zohran Mamdani, a New York City mayoral candidate whose far-left platform includes abolishing private property and implementing socialist economic reforms. Clay and Buck debate whether Republicans should strategically allow Mamdani to win, arguing that his radicalism could serve as a wake-up call for voters and galvanize GOP turnout in the 2026 midterms. They suggest that Democrats embracing Mamdani could backfire nationally, especially in swing districts.
The show features strong listener engagement, with calls and messages split between defending New York City and supporting Clay’s provocative idea of “sacrificing” NYC to expose Democratic extremism. The hosts also highlight Elizabeth Warren’s public distancing from Mamdani, interpreting it as a sign of internal Democratic discomfort with his ideology.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome in Thursday edition Clay Travis buck Sexton Show. We
appreciate all of you hanging out with us. We've got
an awesome show headed your way. Some good news right
off the top. The Senate late I guess it was
early this morning or late last night, depending on how
you want to actually classify it, but they have voted
(00:20):
to take the taxpayer money from PBS and NPR. This
is something that's been talked about for generations. They actually
have done it. The House has to officially approve it.
But I do think sometimes we can get lost in
the generational change that is occurring in front of us.
Sometimes you get lost in obsessing about smaller things and
(00:43):
missing the bigger picture. So try to be cognizant of
that on this program. So let me give some good
news right off the top.
Speaker 2 (00:49):
They've been trying to do this. I just just a
fun Google search. July first, two thousand and four. The
White House is one step closer to defunding public radio.
So upset. That's two thousand and four, everybody. We've been
trying to do this since I was in college and
Clay was working on his PhD.
Speaker 1 (01:06):
I think this has actually been going on in the
seventies and eighties. I think Republicans have been saying why
are we funding this since the seventies. I think it's
legitimately older than many of the people who are listening
to this program.
Speaker 2 (01:19):
Right now.
Speaker 1 (01:19):
We are very close to that occurring. Let me give
you a little bit of a roadmap. Marshall Blackburn, Senator
from Tennessee. Our friend's going to join us next hour.
Also Alan Dershowitz. I read some of the excerpts of
his Wall Street Journal editorial. He represented Jeffrey Epstein in
his criminal defense case that started twenty years ago, and
(01:39):
he laid out a lot of what he knows to
actually be in the so called Epstein files.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
We will give you all of that, But.
Speaker 1 (01:47):
Buck, this morning, I was getting ready and I saw
our good buddy Zorn Momdami.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
There continues to be more and more what.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
I would say are straight communist swill videos with him
endorsing them. I don't even think there's any way to
tiptoe up to this. It's no longer remotely socialism. He
is a committed communist. And you say, Okay, what does
that sound like, Well, it sounds like saying, hey, I
(02:19):
think we might need to abolish public private property. And
I'm gonna play that for a minute. Let me also
tell you fun coming. Shane Gillis, the comedian, went on
the SPS last night. We've got some funny jokes that
we will play for you later in the program, and
I promise you that they're gonna make you laugh. And
(02:39):
I guarantee you that the DEI email and text chains
inside of ESPN are feverish right now over the jokes
that he told, and we'll play some of those for
your enjoyment. But this is mom Donnie, the Democrat mayor
for New York City, saying, hey, maybe we just need
to consider abolishing private property.
Speaker 2 (03:02):
This has cut four.
Speaker 3 (03:03):
My platform is that every single person should have housed.
And I think, faced with these two options, the system,
the system has hundreds of thousands of people unhoused right
for what And if there was any system that could
guarantee each person housing, whether you call it the abolition
of private property or you call it, you know, just
(03:24):
a state wide housing guarantee, it is preferable to what
is going on right now. And I think that people
try and play like gotcha games about these kinds of
things and it's like, look, I care more about whether
somebody has a home.
Speaker 1 (03:38):
Okay, let me ask you this, buck, because this is
where I went when I started to see these videos.
And then curtisly was on Fox News. He's on Fox
News all the time. He's going to be the Republican nominee.
Andrew Cuomo and Eric Adams are both going to be independent,
and it looks like the split vote is going to
put Mom Donnie in as mayor. Am I being a
(03:58):
total jerk? The answer may be very well be yes.
When I look at this strategically and say, I think
Republicans are fighting too hard to beat this guy. I
think we should let Democrats elect a communist mayor of
New York City and let Mom Donnie and all of
the crazy things that he has said be the face
(04:18):
of the Democrat party next year for the midterms. We
may have to sacrifice New York City in terms of
having a competent mayor in order to win a bigger prize,
which is the House of Representatives. Tell me why this
is not strategically the right. Why should we fight as
hard as we can to protect Democrats from the lunacy
(04:40):
of their choices?
Speaker 2 (04:41):
Well, mister Nashville over here is very quick to feed
New York City into the woodchips.
Speaker 1 (04:47):
Let us say, million of us, that'll be, that will be.
I'm sorry, State for our massive tri state audience. I'm
not willing to just let let you be voted off
the island of sanity so so quickly. Okay, I understand
what Clay's saying. It is that the left should get
what they want and get it, you know, long and hard.
Speaker 2 (05:06):
They should have to really deal with the reality of
their choices and what the Democrat Party has become. I
still have, as you know, family in Manhattan. Half my
family lives in Manhattan. I'm going to see them next week.
I'll be in Manhattan next week, so I'll be able
to come back and report from the front lines for
those who are concerned about the trajectory of the city.
(05:27):
There's some decently positive things that are happening in New
York right now. NYPD's on a pretty good footing Commissioner Tish,
whom I worked with briefly in the NYPD myself, she's
doing a good job. She's a good manager, understands the
ins and outs of running a forty something thousand person Department,
which is how big the NYPD is. It's the size
(05:50):
of a lot of country standing armies. So it's a
big job. She's doing a good job with it. Will
So here's the question, Clay. Will it be a situation
where the Democrats, if Mam Donnie wins, the Democrats will
rally behind him as a new standard bearer or will
(06:12):
they be able to silo this off a bit and
say that's New York. You know, he's he's the guy
for them, because not everybody the Democrat party is happy
about this guy becoming you know, it's it's let's be honest,
this is male AOC as Mayor of New York. That's
what this guy is. Effectively, politically, it would be like
AOC is a dude and is now running which you know,
(06:35):
is running New York City. That would be the mayor
Mam Donnie administration. I'm not sure all the Democrats want that,
so there might be some political upside to it.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
For I think that that I think this would win
the House. And I do feel sorry for all of
you that I am sacrificing in the w O.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
Sorry, I see as he pushes your head. He's in
his rowboat he's in the lifeboat and he's pushing New
York's head underwater. I will not allow this, New York.
I got a fellow New Yorkers.
Speaker 1 (07:05):
It's a little bit like the Hunger Games, where sometimes
as a tribute, you have to sacrifice yourself for the
betterment of the of the betterment of the contest. I
think that, mom, Donnie. Here's why I think that this
could be so effective as well.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
Buck.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
This is where you take advantage of there being no
real head of the Democrat Party. Because if we have
a crazy governor on the Republican side, or if we
have a crazy senator or a crazy congressman, and guess
what we got all three right, every party does.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
Trump is the head of the party. So you can't.
Speaker 1 (07:39):
Really say, oh, you know, the new head of the republic.
Trump has taken up all of the oxygen. He is
the face of the Republican Party. You can't make someone
else the face of the Republican Party. Who's the face
of the Democrat Party right now? It's certainly not Hakeem Jefferies,
it's not Chuck Schumer, it's not even Aven Neuwsom's trying
(08:01):
to fill that void. I don't think it's him. It's
not JB. Pritzker, it's not Gretchen Whitmer, it's not Josh Shapiro.
They're certainly not may Or Pete. It's not Joe Biden.
It's not even Kamala Harris. I think Republicans can make
Mom Donnie the face of the Republican Party, and might
a Democrat party might well buck be able to wed
(08:23):
as you just said, Mom Donnie and AOC. We always
talk about California liberals, What about New York communists? Instead
of running against California liberals, New York communist is a
lot more of a negative associational value for most people nationwide.
And so I'm sitting around there's this obsession right now
(08:43):
with Republicans trying to save Democrats from the consequences of
their choice in the primary. Why why should we not
just sit back and let them take themselves over the
woke waterfall.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
It's a problem. I think think that you could look
at through the prism of Los Angeles and San Francisco
and really all the Pacific Northwest cities, Portland, Seattle where
they have really gone after less so in La maybe,
but in the other places, for sure, san Fran for sure,
Mamdani policies for many years, and I don't think it's
(09:21):
been a huge the huge drag on the Democrat Party
that we would hope for. I mean, even look at
look at who is you asked who the standard bearer
is of the Democrat Party right now, I think it's
Gavin Newsom at this moment. It wants to be I
think he is right now. I think he could get
pushed off that that, uh, that pedestal pretty quickly. But
(09:42):
I think Gavin Newsom is the national Democrat of the moment. Uh.
The fact that he's willing to go on a big
right leaning podcast, the fact that he's been willing to debate.
He debated Hannity, right, was it? Or well he debated
no handed Yeah, yeah, so I was trying to remember
he debated the Santis on Hannity. You know, he loves
(10:03):
the media, he loves the attention obviously, So I think
that he's the guy. And so the mismanagement here's my point,
the mismanagement of California has not delivered the wins that
we would want to see necessarily at the national level.
I'm not sure what happened in New York either, to
be honest with you, I mean, Deblasio was horrible and
(10:26):
they went with only a slightly less horrible Eric Adams. Yeah.
Is there a part of me that feels like the
Democrat electorate of New York hasn't suffered enough? Sure, but
New York is a place with if you win New
York City, or if you win it by enough, you're
basically winning it at the state level. Two. So I
would rather Democrats have to play a little more defense
in their home state than just completely radicalize the whole
(10:49):
thing and turn it into fully East Coast California. Remember
we got Long Island. There are some places of sanity
or Long Island listeners are pumping their fists in the air.
They know what's up.
Speaker 1 (10:59):
No, look, Staten Island certainly is not voting for this insanity.
And New York was closer in the twenty twenty four
presidential election than Florida or Texas were. That's like a
New York was closer to being a red state than
Texas or Florida were to being blue states. I think
this would actually open the door for a lease Stephonic
(11:21):
next year in the governor's race. I think if you
asked Elise Stephonic and you said, hey, I get it,
like Eric Adams or Cuomo would be a better choice
for the city. What motivates Republican turnout more a communist
New York City mayor upstate? Do people show up and say, oh,
my goodness, we can't have Kathy Hokel back again. I
(11:41):
think it might, and I certainly think it would be
impactful in the House of Representatives to be able to
run against him nationwide.
Speaker 2 (11:48):
So a part of me, I'm sorry New York.
Speaker 1 (11:50):
A part of me is thinking, hey, maybe we keep
the life vest inside of the inside.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
Of the bark. And I think it's a little bit of
a swim for sure. When Clay was an undergrad GW
and all the New York, New Jersey and and Connecticut
GW folks were like, Clay, did you grow up playing
a banjo? Clay, were you in Civil War reenactments? Like
they must have been fascinated because there were not a
lot there were, as we've discussed, not a lot of
Tennesseeans going to GW. So I think Clay is having
(12:18):
a little fun, a little a little fun at the
expense of our tri state family here I'm just gonna
save the country, but it might mean that some of
you have to drown. I'm just saying.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
Every now and then, it's like, what's the stuff? What's
the great debate that they have? Would you shove one
person in front of a train if it misses?
Speaker 2 (12:35):
The ethics debate? Will you? Will you kill one person
to save a million? And you know the class gets
all fired up about it. Sure, yes, yeah, sorry, New
York that person. I think we could I think we
could pull New York into the rowboat. All right, I'm
not I'm not gonna I'm not gonna be Rose and
let Jack go into the depths with the Titanic freezing.
You know, I'm actually gonna pull him up on the
(12:55):
on the door with me. You know, Ronos, there.
Speaker 1 (12:59):
Was space on that door. There will tell you something.
Rose could have saved Jack. Home invasions everyone's worst nightmare.

Speaker 2 (14:18):
Welcome back in here to Clay and Buck. So we
had Mom Donnie the Kami conversation a second ago. We'll
get into some more of that coming up here. Also,
I did not know what the SPEs were. I had
to be I had to be reminded. Said the sp Awards.
They are getting some attention and we will play you
(14:38):
some of the highlights of them because Shane gillis the
comedian who does do a very funny Trump impression. I
wouldn't say it's the most hyper accurate Trump impression, but
his impressions of Trump are quite are quite amusing. Beautiful Dogs.
You've probably all seen that clip where he talks about
the beautiful dogs during the Bagdaddy, not to be confused
(14:58):
with Mom Donnie the Bagdaddy. And Yeah, I think that
the sp Awards made a smart move, Clay by having
along Shane gillis what.
Speaker 1 (15:11):
I just some of his jokes I enjoyed because I
pictured the ESPN employees who would be the most offended
by them being offended by the jokes, and it made
me enjoy the jokes even more.
Speaker 2 (15:22):
Well, this is like the what was it years ago?
The British comedian who did the Golden Globs. I think
it's the greatest. I think it's the greatest single Ricky
Gervais Ricky Gervais globes. I believe that was twenty twenty,
right before COVID shut down everything February of twenty twenty.
I think it's the greatest opening monologue at one of
(15:43):
these awards show style events. I've ever seen, but I
remember the whole thing was lacerating. But my favorite was
you guys all pretend you have moral superiority and everything else.
And I remember the.
Speaker 1 (15:53):
Line if isis had a streaming service, you'd tell you'd
be telling them to call your agent, which was so
such a great line.
Speaker 2 (16:00):
And I'm para free. I may have gotten a little
bit wrong.
Speaker 5 (16:02):
No, that was it.
Speaker 2 (16:03):
I remember fake, he was, he was, he was fantastic.
And you know, at that time, still I think the
Hollywood elites, the big actors, were still way elevated in
society beyond what I think their their actual value was.
Speaker 3 (16:19):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (16:20):
There's been a coming down to earth for Hollywood celebrities.
Part of it is because of social media. We know
that a lot of them are very dumb and and
very disconnected from the problems of normal human beings.
Speaker 5 (16:33):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (16:33):
And also I think just because the movie industry. You know,
I threw out a tweet about this while ago, and
I got much more attention than I thought it would.
The movie industry in general is in a completely different place. Unfortunately.
I think the movies that are being made these days
are pretty pretty bad as as a as a general rule,
but but the economics of the movie industry have changed
(16:53):
so much because you don't have vhs, you don't have
DVDs now with streaming. So uh, they're not the the
they're not the kings and queens of American culture that
they used to be going to the Oscars, the SPI's
sports as you know better than most is and really
still I would has it ever been.
Speaker 1 (17:13):
More lucrative to be a professional athlete today than it
is right now? Right, I mean making more money now,
I think for all entertainers. If you're a popular musician,
if you are a star athlete, you can make a
billion dollars a billion just by singing songs and doing
concerts and just by running around catching a ball, catching
(17:33):
a ball, doing whatever an athlete does. And it's never
been that way before. Most of the time, you don't
become fabulously wealthy by being an employee. Most of the
time you have to build things. You have to create
something that didn't exist before. The team's gonna be there
after every athlete leaves, and yet we're gonna have billion
dollar athletes. Promise is made, Promises being delivered. That's the
(17:57):
mantra of the Trump administration, particularly when when it comes
to our recovering economy. You saw the decreasing inflation rate yesterday.
However successful they are. Your own finances are up to
you to manage. You got to take action for yourself.
One way to accomplish this is by diversifying your savings
account from all cash to cash and gold. Gold is
(18:17):
an appreciating asset of forty percent in the past year.
Central banks from other countries continue to bolster the demand
for gold by buying in record quantities. Birch Gold makes
owning physical gold extremely easy. They can convert an existing
IRA or four oh one k into a tax sheltered
IRA in physical gold, or help you buy gold.
Speaker 2 (18:36):
To store in your home safe. Birch Gold's who I
buy my gold from. I've got it in my safe,
I've got coins, I've got bars. I keep adding to
my gold reserves over time. But you can convert that
IRA or four to one k into attack sheltered physical
gold one It's fantastic. Text Buck to ninety eight ninety
eight ninety eight now from your phone, Text buc k
(18:57):
to ninety eight ninety eight ninety eight.
Speaker 1 (19:00):
Walking again, Clay Travis buck Sexton show, all right, we
got a bunch of reactions pouring into my suggestion that
we should abandon New York City and let them have
to deal with their communist mayor, and that that will
be actually beneficial for next year's midterms, which are more
substantial and also a lot of governor's races. I think
that Elie Stephonic would be far more likely to win
(19:22):
the governorship of New York State.
Speaker 2 (19:25):
And I'm saying I believe she's officially announced. Let me
know if she is not.
Speaker 1 (19:28):
I know she's the most prominent candidate that has been
much talked about. Buck, a lot of people weighing in.
Bob says, sorry, Buck, I'm with Clay on this one.
New York had a nice run, but enough already. Damon says,
if Mom Donnie becomes mayor of New York City, Clay
should be forced to live in the Bronx for the
duration of Mam Donnie's term in office. Hey, maybe I
(19:50):
could be neighbors with AOC, did it, AOC? I mean,
I'll go out to Westchester, AOC. If AOC could be
a Bronx girl and grow up in westch there's a
lot of really nice places in West Scarsdale, very nice.
From from Franklin to Westchester is actually much an easy transition.
You wouldn't feel that different. I mean different, maybe politics,
(20:12):
But maybe I could live next to the Clintons in Chappaqua, Chappaqua,
Chappaqua chap because chop Equittic is where Kennedy killed the girl,
right Choppaqua is where the Clintons live right now, Bill says,
for decades, communists have been joining the Democrat Party, watching
Mom Donnie's warm welcome by mainstream Dems and their failure
to condemn his most radical positions. Now apparent party is
(20:35):
joining the communists. Here's Don as well. I live in
all three New York state, city and county. I very
much enjoyed listening to Buck at the New York City
Republican Club Dush November. By the way, I may not
get an invite to New York City Republican Club like
Buck did after this take.
Speaker 2 (20:50):
I could probably sneak you in. I know some people,
but they're not loving what you're saying right now, pushing
them underwater.
Speaker 1 (20:56):
But Don says, but always a butt here. I'm with
Clay on this. I've been saying this since the primary.
I want Mom Donnie to be the next mayor and
watch all those people who hate me, the guilt ridden
self righteously arrogant, over educated snot knows the elites of
the liberal intelligency of foam at the mouth in total apoplexy,
(21:19):
almost as much fun as watching the view. Also, remember,
the mayor of New York City can't do all that
he suggests. New York State legislature must pass many of
these bills. So, guys, what do you think?
Speaker 2 (21:30):
Now?
Speaker 1 (21:31):
We also have a couple of callers that went away
and that might our talkbacks. Let's take let's do the talkbacks. Yeah,
let's do something.
Speaker 2 (21:38):
Bill in New Jersey. Ee WR listener, what do you
got play?
Speaker 6 (21:42):
Buck? Bill in New Jersey. I am here in the
metro New York area. I look out the window and
there is the skyline. New York deserves whatever it votes for.
Clearly they did not learn the lessons of Deblasio. If
they put in this guy, Mom, Donnie, they deserve whatever
they get. I personally have not gone into the city
(22:03):
in years, and I refuse to. I will not spend
my hard earned money in a communist hole.
Speaker 2 (22:10):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (22:10):
Nat from New York City, also one of our great
w R listeners. He's not so happy with me.
Speaker 7 (22:16):
I am so disappointed in the man from Franklin, Tennessee.
Speaker 4 (22:22):
Making this stupid argument.
Speaker 7 (22:25):
Once New York City goes Communists, it is done.
Speaker 4 (22:30):
It is a ridiculous argument.
Speaker 2 (22:34):
You gain nothing by giving in territory to the enemy.
Speaker 6 (22:39):
You have to attack.
Speaker 2 (22:41):
I love that caller. I love that caller. He's that's
that's the spirit of New York right there. That's he's
that's calling in. I guarantee you Brooklyn. He's calling in
from Brooklyn, and he loves it. He loves New York City,
and he's not going down without a fight. I gotta say,
is that Bernie Sanders? Is he a secret listener? Is
that Bernie playing playing both sides of the equation here?
(23:03):
That sounds that's not a burn That's not a Burnie.
Speaker 1 (23:06):
That sounded Bnie to me, A little bit, a little
bit Mark Levin, a little bit Mark Levin.
Speaker 2 (23:10):
There more more more, mister mister Esteemed Levin. Yes, but uh,
definitely not.
Speaker 5 (23:17):
Bernie's down. Bernie's down here. He's got this sort of
low he's got the Brooklyn but he talks down in
this register and he will really lean in on certain
words like the oligous.
Speaker 1 (23:33):
You gotta you know what I mean, You gotta just
beat Bernie. Bernie might be your best. I have to
say Fauci is good. Bernie might be the best. But
this is if you're out there and you're saying, Okay, yes, mam,
Donnie might be an issue, but how much how much
panic is there? Elizabeth Warren is now saying, yeah, Mom Donnie,
he's a little too he's a little too far from me.
Speaker 2 (23:53):
This is not the way we should talk.
Speaker 1 (23:55):
Cut five again, make him the face of the Democrat
part for the midterms. Here's Elizabeth Warren Pocahontas herself trying
to distance herself from some of the arguments Mom Donnie
has made because they're too far left wing and crazy.
Cut five, This is not the way we should talk.
Speaker 7 (24:15):
If this encourages violence in any way, then I am
opposed to it. I am a no violence person. I
think it's a very, very bad idea. But let's be clear.
Mandani ran this race because he said I can make
government work for better for families. On the ground, I'm
willing to try new ideas to bring down costs for
(24:39):
people who live in New York City, and I understand
that big time investors are freaking out about that because
they can't quite understand how somebody is going to maybe
make it to be mayor without having come and bent
and need them.
Speaker 1 (24:57):
Okay, first of all, I love that she said I'm opposed.
Is there anybody who's ever said, hey, you know what
we need more death and destruction? I love that she
starts off by saying I'm a no violence person. Yes,
oh congratulations. Yes, we also are very opposed to murders.
She's very fled with that. She's very quick to bury
the hatchet and stay off the war path, which we
(25:19):
appreciate here. But I will say that I think she
has to distance herself from Mamdanni the Kami, because otherwise
the two race hoaxters would.
Speaker 2 (25:33):
Be lumped together. Remember, he pretended to be black. She
pretended to be Native American and it worked for her.
So she can't be too closely associated with this Mom
Donni guy, because all of a sudden, it's going to
be Elizabeth Warren posing as a Pocahontas and Mom did
Was it his middle name was always Quame or did
(25:54):
he change his name to Quame for the purposes of admission?
Speaker 1 (25:58):
My understanding, having I legitimately researched this moron's name, so
Kwame is not.
Speaker 2 (26:03):
A South Indian South Asian rather.
Speaker 1 (26:06):
Name, so I know how the dad named him after
the leader of Uganda who was named Kwame. So his
name is Zoron Quame Momdani, which is why I think
what no one else is that I've heard has pointed
this out. This is clearly why he put black African
American on the Colombia application, because then he thought they
(26:31):
would see, oh, how many Indian maybe there's one listening
right now. Are there any white Asian or Hispanic men
listening right now who are named Kwame? I would submit
that that is like, if you see the name Kwame,
you're like, that's a black guy's name.
Speaker 2 (26:47):
He knew what he was trying to do.
Speaker 1 (26:50):
He was trying to pretend to be black to get
into Colombia because he thought it helped him.
Speaker 2 (26:54):
His middle name a team in New York. You can
look this up.
Speaker 1 (26:57):
My reading on this was that his dad named him
after the leader. Middle named him after the leader of
Uganda at the time, and so the quame is in
honor of whoever the Ugandan leader was, because the guy's
only Kuam Donnie's only like thirty three years old, right,
I mean he's super young on top of all these
(27:18):
other things.
Speaker 2 (27:19):
Uh, he's never well. So is it Kwame uh Unkruma,
who was the president of Ghana but the prominent figure
in the first Pan African movement, So not specific to Uganda,
but I believe we can track this one down. It
will be Krame Nkruma, Quame Nkruma, who was a Pan
(27:42):
African nationalist, if you will that, Yeah, because that when
you think Uganda, the leaders of Uganda have been it's
been a pretty you know, Idioman is the most famous,
which is not a good thing. It's been a rough
it's been a rough go with the Uganda leader specifically.
Speaker 1 (27:57):
Yeah, I'm will readily acknowledg that my knowledge of African leaders.
Speaker 2 (28:02):
Have you seen Last Teame of Scotland, by the way,
great movie? Great? Okay. I was gonna say you and
Laura top of the list. I keep giving you guys
great recos you never watched them. But that's okay. I'm
glad you've already seen that.
Speaker 1 (28:12):
I don't watch anything except what my kids put on,
which is why I've only been watching Outer Banks of Late,
which is a great, fun, ridiculous show to watch with
your teenagers, if you got thirteen fourteen, fifteen year olds.
I bet producer Ali has watched Outer Banks. I would
bet that, yeah, it is, it is.
Speaker 2 (28:32):
It's Kwame Nkruma, the Ghanaian pan africanist leader, which reflects
his father's I mean, this guy is really it's like
if you were creating a sort of multiculturalist and globalist
resume for somebody. This guy, the communist, Mam Donnie has it.
(28:55):
I mean, this is what you're is definitely similar to
what you saw with the construction of Obama. I'm sure,
I'm sure that that sorry Zoran, I don't think anyone
calls him Kwame Zorn is looking at the Obama playbook
on a lot of this stuff with the way that
he's positioning himself politically. Let me ask you this as
(29:18):
we go to break and you guys out there listening
may be able to come up with some examples. How
many times has Elizabeth Warren not when she was running
for president? Right, because when you're running for president, you
have to attack the other people running for president. How
many times has she attacked a Democrat publicly? When she
wasn't running for the office and competing with them. This
(29:39):
is kind of unheard of for democrat to turn on
another Democrat. This is how nervous I think they are
because you can say a lot about Elizabeth Warren, but
she has a lot of connections to Wall Street, big investors.
I know, she tries to pretend that she cares about
the little person everything else, She's actually very plugged in
with elite left wing Wall Street donors. And I think
(30:00):
that's where this pressure is coming from. Because the guy's
a communists, and we need to have some fun with
his plan on the grocery stores. His plan to save
everybody money on the grocery stores. It reads like your
kid's plan, except less logical when it comes to selling
lemonade out on the corner in the neighborhood. I mean,
this is Elizabeth Warren, the the you know, the progressive leftist,
(30:25):
all that stuff. She's worth twelve million dollars personally. Yeah,
so not struggling. It turns out it's really easy to
be all about collectivism and the government taking from other
people when you've already amassed the twelve million dollar fortune
which you could easily live a very comfortable life just
(30:47):
off of the annualized interest of that in a high
yield interest account or standard mutual fund. I'm not giving
financial advice here, but this is not a twelve million
dollars in the bank. And I know that's say, oh,
that's probably real estate and stuff too. But the point
is she's rich. Lizen Warren's rich going around talking about that.
But there's there's I made my money by getting overpaid
(31:10):
for books that nobody read and doing consulting that nobody
needed because I'm a Democrat professor rich. And then there's
you know, starting a company and selling it for a
billion dollars rich. So even you know, even somebody's worth
ten million dollars, one can exploit class envy, which Elizabeth
Warren has built her entire career on. And two have
some of their own class envy, truly. You know, Bernie
(31:32):
Sanders a socialist with three houses. It's amazing how that works,
isn't it isn't that I don't have to I have
one house, and I'm not a socialist. How do I
get to be a socialist with three houses? That sounds
like fun?
Speaker 5 (31:45):
All right?
Speaker 2 (31:45):
Save yourself money. Speaking of money on a service that
you have to use every day your cell phone. When
you switch your cell phone service from AT and T,
verizonner T Mobile to pure Talk, you're immediately saving hundreds
of dollars a year without sacrificing quality. I switch from
one of those companies to pure Talk myself several years
ago and can tell you firsthand the service is top quality.
(32:06):
Twenty five dollars a month for unlimited talk, text and
plenty of data is a great price point, little known
secret in the cell phone industry, but I want to
tell it to you. Puretalk uses the same five G network,
same five G towers as one of those three companies
I mentioned. You've got the same quality of service at
a fraction of the price. With pure Talk. You can
keep your phone and your number from your cell phone.
Dial pound two fifty say Clay en Buck. You'll save
(32:28):
you an additional fifty percent off your first month. You
can literally switch over to Pure Talking about ten minutes.
Dial pound two five zero. Say the keywords Clay en
Buck to switch to Puretalk. Wireless Buy Americans for Americans.
Sometimes all you can do is laugh, and they do
a lot of it. With the Sunday hang join Clay
(32:49):
and Buck as they laugh.
Speaker 4 (32:50):
It up in the Clay and Buck podcast feed on
the iHeartRadio app or wherever you get your podcasts.
Speaker 2 (32:56):
You gonna take some of your calls, talkbacks and more
here just giving you a roadmap of the next hour.
We've got Senator Marshall Blackburn talking about the recisions package,
defunding NPR, border security, all that good stuff. Maybe we'll
put her on the hotspot for where she stands as
a fellow Tennessee and on the future of New York.
I have a feeling she'll be more charitable toward New Yorkers,
(33:17):
keeping in mind that there are a million Republicans in
New York City, thank you very much. Unfortunately, there's like
eight million Communists, but there's a million Republicans and only
half of them live on Staten Island. So we will
talk to Senator Blackburn here in a few minutes. Then
we got Alan Dershowitz about his op ed Wall Street Journal.
That topic of Epstein seems to have calmed a bit.
(33:40):
President Trump has said we're moving on at least comed
in the media. I'm not trying to stir anything up,
but we'll talk to him a little bit about the
whispers of a special counsel that have been going around
to which I think is a one not going to happen,
and two would be a very bad idea. But anyway,
we will talk to him about that coming up, and
so we'll be drinking our Crocket coffee. Cracketcoffee dot com.
(34:03):
Go to Cracket Coffee. It's delicious. You will love it.
Uh and ten percent of the prophet because it's telling
the Towers Foundation. Use code book. Get a signed copy

from the back of a of a Gator or a
Crockett dot.
Speaker 1 (34:50):
Could be the way I'm wearing my T shirt right now.
If you're watching on video. Oh awesome, the gear is.
The gear is fantastic. It really is very cool. And
you fine, whatever you need fantastic. All right, let's get
to some of these, some of these call some of these.
First of all, VIP email from Kyle Buck. Lol, Dude,
I picked up on your Pocahontas shot about her willingness
(35:11):
to bury the hatchet and stay off the warpath.
Speaker 2 (35:13):
Thank you for that. I'm glad.
Speaker 1 (35:14):
You know, Kyle, I throw it in there. You gotta
listen close on the Clay and Buck show. You know,
we're always we're always weaving here. We're always keeping everybody
on their toes.
Speaker 4 (35:22):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (35:23):
VIP email Brian.
Speaker 1 (35:24):
Let the children touch the stove sometimes that's the only
way they learn.
Speaker 2 (35:29):
Man, it's a lot. Well.
Speaker 1 (35:31):
First of all, I say, if I don't think you
let the kids touch the stove, I mean that can.
I mean you don't intentionally, but every now and then
you do have to say, hey, we only have so
many life vests and New York like you tried to
make it go of it, but let Buck Island go
under the water, and that ended up being the best outcome.
Like it always turned into He's Billy Zaye from Titanic,
and he's like when they're when they're half of this
(35:52):
ship is going to drown, and Clay's like, not the
better half.
Speaker 2 (35:56):
Sorry, New York. That's why the way is funny.
Speaker 1 (35:59):
Email Kyle on this, you should have said maybe if
she had put if Rose had pulled Jack up on
the door, it would sink and now they'd both be dead.
Good point. New York's out of control. Gotta leave them behind.
Can't let them both drown. You gotta let sometimes somebody
has to drown. Sorry, New York.
Speaker 2 (36:18):
Moe from Dutchess County, New York, thirty seconds. What's going on?
Speaker 4 (36:21):
Moe?
Speaker 5 (36:23):
Why would it?
Speaker 3 (36:23):
Thank you very much?
Speaker 2 (36:24):
What would it take to Severn, New York State? From
the Five boroughs?
Speaker 3 (36:30):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (36:30):
Good night, I sash it sure,
Welcome in Thursday edition Clay Travis buck Sexton Show. We
appreciate all of you hanging out with us. We've got
an awesome show headed your way. Some good news right
off the top. The Senate late I guess it was
early this morning or late last night, depending on how
you want to actually classify it, but they have voted
(00:20):
to take the taxpayer money from PBS and NPR. This
is something that's been talked about for generations. They actually
have done it. The House has to officially approve it.
But I do think sometimes we can get lost in
the generational change that is occurring in front of us.
Sometimes you get lost in obsessing about smaller things and
(00:43):
missing the bigger picture. So try to be cognizant of
that on this program. So let me give some good
news right off the top.
Speaker 2 (00:49):
They've been trying to do this. I just just a
fun Google search. July first, two thousand and four. The
White House is one step closer to defunding public radio.
So upset. That's two thousand and four, everybody. We've been
trying to do this since I was in college and
Clay was working on his PhD.
Speaker 1 (01:06):
I think this has actually been going on in the
seventies and eighties. I think Republicans have been saying why
are we funding this since the seventies. I think it's
legitimately older than many of the people who are listening
to this program.
Speaker 2 (01:19):
Right now.
Speaker 1 (01:19):
We are very close to that occurring. Let me give
you a little bit of a roadmap. Marshall Blackburn, Senator
from Tennessee. Our friend's going to join us next hour.
Also Alan Dershowitz. I read some of the excerpts of
his Wall Street Journal editorial. He represented Jeffrey Epstein in
his criminal defense case that started twenty years ago, and
(01:39):
he laid out a lot of what he knows to
actually be in the so called Epstein files.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
We will give you all of that, But.
Speaker 1 (01:47):
Buck, this morning, I was getting ready and I saw
our good buddy Zorn Momdami.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
There continues to be more and more what.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
I would say are straight communist swill videos with him
endorsing them. I don't even think there's any way to
tiptoe up to this. It's no longer remotely socialism. He
is a committed communist. And you say, Okay, what does
that sound like, Well, it sounds like saying, hey, I
(02:19):
think we might need to abolish public private property. And
I'm gonna play that for a minute. Let me also
tell you fun coming. Shane Gillis, the comedian, went on
the SPS last night. We've got some funny jokes that
we will play for you later in the program, and
I promise you that they're gonna make you laugh. And
(02:39):
I guarantee you that the DEI email and text chains
inside of ESPN are feverish right now over the jokes
that he told, and we'll play some of those for
your enjoyment. But this is mom Donnie, the Democrat mayor
for New York City, saying, hey, maybe we just need
to consider abolishing private property.
Speaker 2 (03:02):
This has cut four.
Speaker 3 (03:03):
My platform is that every single person should have housed.
And I think, faced with these two options, the system,
the system has hundreds of thousands of people unhoused right
for what And if there was any system that could
guarantee each person housing, whether you call it the abolition
of private property or you call it, you know, just
(03:24):
a state wide housing guarantee, it is preferable to what
is going on right now. And I think that people
try and play like gotcha games about these kinds of
things and it's like, look, I care more about whether
somebody has a home.
Speaker 1 (03:38):
Okay, let me ask you this, buck, because this is
where I went when I started to see these videos.
And then curtisly was on Fox News. He's on Fox
News all the time. He's going to be the Republican nominee.
Andrew Cuomo and Eric Adams are both going to be independent,
and it looks like the split vote is going to
put Mom Donnie in as mayor. Am I being a
(03:58):
total jerk? The answer may be very well be yes.
When I look at this strategically and say, I think
Republicans are fighting too hard to beat this guy. I
think we should let Democrats elect a communist mayor of
New York City and let Mom Donnie and all of
the crazy things that he has said be the face
(04:18):
of the Democrat party next year for the midterms. We
may have to sacrifice New York City in terms of
having a competent mayor in order to win a bigger prize,
which is the House of Representatives. Tell me why this
is not strategically the right. Why should we fight as
hard as we can to protect Democrats from the lunacy
(04:40):
of their choices?
Speaker 2 (04:41):
Well, mister Nashville over here is very quick to feed
New York City into the woodchips.
Speaker 1 (04:47):
Let us say, million of us, that'll be, that will be.
I'm sorry, State for our massive tri state audience. I'm
not willing to just let let you be voted off
the island of sanity so so quickly. Okay, I understand
what Clay's saying. It is that the left should get
what they want and get it, you know, long and hard.
Speaker 2 (05:06):
They should have to really deal with the reality of
their choices and what the Democrat Party has become. I
still have, as you know, family in Manhattan. Half my
family lives in Manhattan. I'm going to see them next week.
I'll be in Manhattan next week, so I'll be able
to come back and report from the front lines for
those who are concerned about the trajectory of the city.
(05:27):
There's some decently positive things that are happening in New
York right now. NYPD's on a pretty good footing Commissioner Tish,
whom I worked with briefly in the NYPD myself, she's
doing a good job. She's a good manager, understands the
ins and outs of running a forty something thousand person Department,
which is how big the NYPD is. It's the size
(05:50):
of a lot of country standing armies. So it's a
big job. She's doing a good job with it. Will
So here's the question, Clay. Will it be a situation
where the Democrats, if Mam Donnie wins, the Democrats will
rally behind him as a new standard bearer or will
(06:12):
they be able to silo this off a bit and
say that's New York. You know, he's he's the guy
for them, because not everybody the Democrat party is happy
about this guy becoming you know, it's it's let's be honest,
this is male AOC as Mayor of New York. That's
what this guy is. Effectively, politically, it would be like
AOC is a dude and is now running which you know,
(06:35):
is running New York City. That would be the mayor
Mam Donnie administration. I'm not sure all the Democrats want that,
so there might be some political upside to it.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
For I think that that I think this would win
the House. And I do feel sorry for all of
you that I am sacrificing in the w O.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
Sorry, I see as he pushes your head. He's in
his rowboat he's in the lifeboat and he's pushing New
York's head underwater. I will not allow this, New York.
I got a fellow New Yorkers.
Speaker 1 (07:05):
It's a little bit like the Hunger Games, where sometimes
as a tribute, you have to sacrifice yourself for the
betterment of the of the betterment of the contest. I
think that, mom, Donnie. Here's why I think that this
could be so effective as well.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
Buck.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
This is where you take advantage of there being no
real head of the Democrat Party. Because if we have
a crazy governor on the Republican side, or if we
have a crazy senator or a crazy congressman, and guess
what we got all three right, every party does.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
Trump is the head of the party. So you can't.
Speaker 1 (07:39):
Really say, oh, you know, the new head of the republic.
Trump has taken up all of the oxygen. He is
the face of the Republican Party. You can't make someone
else the face of the Republican Party. Who's the face
of the Democrat Party right now? It's certainly not Hakeem Jefferies,
it's not Chuck Schumer, it's not even Aven Neuwsom's trying
(08:01):
to fill that void. I don't think it's him. It's
not JB. Pritzker, it's not Gretchen Whitmer, it's not Josh Shapiro.
They're certainly not may Or Pete. It's not Joe Biden.
It's not even Kamala Harris. I think Republicans can make
Mom Donnie the face of the Republican Party, and might
a Democrat party might well buck be able to wed
(08:23):
as you just said, Mom Donnie and AOC. We always
talk about California liberals, What about New York communists? Instead
of running against California liberals, New York communist is a
lot more of a negative associational value for most people nationwide.
And so I'm sitting around there's this obsession right now
(08:43):
with Republicans trying to save Democrats from the consequences of
their choice in the primary. Why why should we not
just sit back and let them take themselves over the
woke waterfall.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
It's a problem. I think think that you could look
at through the prism of Los Angeles and San Francisco
and really all the Pacific Northwest cities, Portland, Seattle where
they have really gone after less so in La maybe,
but in the other places, for sure, san Fran for sure,
Mamdani policies for many years, and I don't think it's
(09:21):
been a huge the huge drag on the Democrat Party
that we would hope for. I mean, even look at
look at who is you asked who the standard bearer
is of the Democrat Party right now, I think it's
Gavin Newsom at this moment. It wants to be I
think he is right now. I think he could get
pushed off that that, uh, that pedestal pretty quickly. But
(09:42):
I think Gavin Newsom is the national Democrat of the moment. Uh.
The fact that he's willing to go on a big
right leaning podcast, the fact that he's been willing to debate.
He debated Hannity, right, was it? Or well he debated
no handed Yeah, yeah, so I was trying to remember
he debated the Santis on Hannity. You know, he loves
(10:03):
the media, he loves the attention obviously, So I think
that he's the guy. And so the mismanagement here's my point,
the mismanagement of California has not delivered the wins that
we would want to see necessarily at the national level.
I'm not sure what happened in New York either, to
be honest with you, I mean, Deblasio was horrible and
(10:26):
they went with only a slightly less horrible Eric Adams. Yeah.
Is there a part of me that feels like the
Democrat electorate of New York hasn't suffered enough? Sure, but
New York is a place with if you win New
York City, or if you win it by enough, you're
basically winning it at the state level. Two. So I
would rather Democrats have to play a little more defense
in their home state than just completely radicalize the whole
(10:49):
thing and turn it into fully East Coast California. Remember
we got Long Island. There are some places of sanity
or Long Island listeners are pumping their fists in the air.
They know what's up.
Speaker 1 (10:59):
No, look, Staten Island certainly is not voting for this insanity.
And New York was closer in the twenty twenty four
presidential election than Florida or Texas were. That's like a
New York was closer to being a red state than
Texas or Florida were to being blue states. I think
this would actually open the door for a lease Stephonic
(11:21):
next year in the governor's race. I think if you
asked Elise Stephonic and you said, hey, I get it,
like Eric Adams or Cuomo would be a better choice
for the city. What motivates Republican turnout more a communist
New York City mayor upstate? Do people show up and say, oh,
my goodness, we can't have Kathy Hokel back again. I
(11:41):
think it might, and I certainly think it would be
impactful in the House of Representatives to be able to
run against him nationwide.
Speaker 2 (11:48):
So a part of me, I'm sorry New York.
Speaker 1 (11:50):
A part of me is thinking, hey, maybe we keep
the life vest inside of the inside.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
Of the bark. And I think it's a little bit of
a swim for sure. When Clay was an undergrad GW
and all the New York, New Jersey and and Connecticut
GW folks were like, Clay, did you grow up playing
a banjo? Clay, were you in Civil War reenactments? Like
they must have been fascinated because there were not a
lot there were, as we've discussed, not a lot of
Tennesseeans going to GW. So I think Clay is having
(12:18):
a little fun, a little a little fun at the
expense of our tri state family here I'm just gonna
save the country, but it might mean that some of
you have to drown. I'm just saying.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
Every now and then, it's like, what's the stuff? What's
the great debate that they have? Would you shove one
person in front of a train if it misses?
Speaker 2 (12:35):
The ethics debate? Will you? Will you kill one person
to save a million? And you know the class gets
all fired up about it. Sure, yes, yeah, sorry, New
York that person. I think we could I think we
could pull New York into the rowboat. All right, I'm
not I'm not gonna I'm not gonna be Rose and
let Jack go into the depths with the Titanic freezing.
You know, I'm actually gonna pull him up on the
(12:55):
on the door with me. You know, Ronos, there.
Speaker 1 (12:59):
Was space on that door. There will tell you something.
Rose could have saved Jack. Home invasions everyone's worst nightmare.

Speaker 2 (14:18):
Welcome back in here to Clay and Buck. So we
had Mom Donnie the Kami conversation a second ago. We'll
get into some more of that coming up here. Also,
I did not know what the SPEs were. I had
to be I had to be reminded. Said the sp Awards.
They are getting some attention and we will play you
(14:38):
some of the highlights of them because Shane gillis the
comedian who does do a very funny Trump impression. I
wouldn't say it's the most hyper accurate Trump impression, but
his impressions of Trump are quite are quite amusing. Beautiful Dogs.
You've probably all seen that clip where he talks about
the beautiful dogs during the Bagdaddy, not to be confused
(14:58):
with Mom Donnie the Bagdaddy. And Yeah, I think that
the sp Awards made a smart move, Clay by having
along Shane gillis what.
Speaker 1 (15:11):
I just some of his jokes I enjoyed because I
pictured the ESPN employees who would be the most offended
by them being offended by the jokes, and it made
me enjoy the jokes even more.
Speaker 2 (15:22):
Well, this is like the what was it years ago?
The British comedian who did the Golden Globs. I think
it's the greatest. I think it's the greatest single Ricky
Gervais Ricky Gervais globes. I believe that was twenty twenty,
right before COVID shut down everything February of twenty twenty.
I think it's the greatest opening monologue at one of
(15:43):
these awards show style events. I've ever seen, but I
remember the whole thing was lacerating. But my favorite was
you guys all pretend you have moral superiority and everything else.
And I remember the.
Speaker 1 (15:53):
Line if isis had a streaming service, you'd tell you'd
be telling them to call your agent, which was so
such a great line.
Speaker 2 (16:00):
And I'm para free. I may have gotten a little
bit wrong.
Speaker 5 (16:02):
No, that was it.
Speaker 2 (16:03):
I remember fake, he was, he was, he was fantastic.
And you know, at that time, still I think the
Hollywood elites, the big actors, were still way elevated in
society beyond what I think their their actual value was.
Speaker 3 (16:19):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (16:20):
There's been a coming down to earth for Hollywood celebrities.
Part of it is because of social media. We know
that a lot of them are very dumb and and
very disconnected from the problems of normal human beings.
Speaker 5 (16:33):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (16:33):
And also I think just because the movie industry. You know,
I threw out a tweet about this while ago, and
I got much more attention than I thought it would.
The movie industry in general is in a completely different place. Unfortunately.
I think the movies that are being made these days
are pretty pretty bad as as a as a general rule,
but but the economics of the movie industry have changed
(16:53):
so much because you don't have vhs, you don't have
DVDs now with streaming. So uh, they're not the the
they're not the kings and queens of American culture that
they used to be going to the Oscars, the SPI's
sports as you know better than most is and really
still I would has it ever been.
Speaker 1 (17:13):
More lucrative to be a professional athlete today than it
is right now? Right, I mean making more money now,
I think for all entertainers. If you're a popular musician,
if you are a star athlete, you can make a
billion dollars a billion just by singing songs and doing
concerts and just by running around catching a ball, catching
(17:33):
a ball, doing whatever an athlete does. And it's never
been that way before. Most of the time, you don't
become fabulously wealthy by being an employee. Most of the
time you have to build things. You have to create
something that didn't exist before. The team's gonna be there
after every athlete leaves, and yet we're gonna have billion
dollar athletes. Promise is made, Promises being delivered. That's the
(17:57):
mantra of the Trump administration, particularly when when it comes
to our recovering economy. You saw the decreasing inflation rate yesterday.
However successful they are. Your own finances are up to
you to manage. You got to take action for yourself.
One way to accomplish this is by diversifying your savings
account from all cash to cash and gold. Gold is
(18:17):
an appreciating asset of forty percent in the past year.
Central banks from other countries continue to bolster the demand
for gold by buying in record quantities. Birch Gold makes
owning physical gold extremely easy. They can convert an existing
IRA or four oh one k into a tax sheltered
IRA in physical gold, or help you buy gold.
Speaker 2 (18:36):
To store in your home safe. Birch Gold's who I
buy my gold from. I've got it in my safe,
I've got coins, I've got bars. I keep adding to
my gold reserves over time. But you can convert that
IRA or four to one k into attack sheltered physical
gold one It's fantastic. Text Buck to ninety eight ninety
eight ninety eight now from your phone, Text buc k
(18:57):
to ninety eight ninety eight ninety eight.
Speaker 1 (19:00):
Walking again, Clay Travis buck Sexton show, all right, we
got a bunch of reactions pouring into my suggestion that
we should abandon New York City and let them have
to deal with their communist mayor, and that that will
be actually beneficial for next year's midterms, which are more
substantial and also a lot of governor's races. I think
that Elie Stephonic would be far more likely to win
(19:22):
the governorship of New York State.
Speaker 2 (19:25):
And I'm saying I believe she's officially announced. Let me
know if she is not.
Speaker 1 (19:28):
I know she's the most prominent candidate that has been
much talked about. Buck, a lot of people weighing in.
Bob says, sorry, Buck, I'm with Clay on this one.
New York had a nice run, but enough already. Damon says,
if Mom Donnie becomes mayor of New York City, Clay
should be forced to live in the Bronx for the
duration of Mam Donnie's term in office. Hey, maybe I
(19:50):
could be neighbors with AOC, did it, AOC? I mean,
I'll go out to Westchester, AOC. If AOC could be
a Bronx girl and grow up in westch there's a
lot of really nice places in West Scarsdale, very nice.
From from Franklin to Westchester is actually much an easy transition.
You wouldn't feel that different. I mean different, maybe politics,
(20:12):
But maybe I could live next to the Clintons in Chappaqua, Chappaqua,
Chappaqua chap because chop Equittic is where Kennedy killed the girl,
right Choppaqua is where the Clintons live right now, Bill says,
for decades, communists have been joining the Democrat Party, watching
Mom Donnie's warm welcome by mainstream Dems and their failure
to condemn his most radical positions. Now apparent party is
(20:35):
joining the communists. Here's Don as well. I live in
all three New York state, city and county. I very
much enjoyed listening to Buck at the New York City
Republican Club Dush November. By the way, I may not
get an invite to New York City Republican Club like
Buck did after this take.
Speaker 2 (20:50):
I could probably sneak you in. I know some people,
but they're not loving what you're saying right now, pushing
them underwater.
Speaker 1 (20:56):
But Don says, but always a butt here. I'm with
Clay on this. I've been saying this since the primary.
I want Mom Donnie to be the next mayor and
watch all those people who hate me, the guilt ridden
self righteously arrogant, over educated snot knows the elites of
the liberal intelligency of foam at the mouth in total apoplexy,
(21:19):
almost as much fun as watching the view. Also, remember,
the mayor of New York City can't do all that
he suggests. New York State legislature must pass many of
these bills. So, guys, what do you think?
Speaker 2 (21:30):
Now?
Speaker 1 (21:31):
We also have a couple of callers that went away
and that might our talkbacks. Let's take let's do the talkbacks. Yeah,
let's do something.
Speaker 2 (21:38):
Bill in New Jersey. Ee WR listener, what do you
got play?
Speaker 6 (21:42):
Buck? Bill in New Jersey. I am here in the
metro New York area. I look out the window and
there is the skyline. New York deserves whatever it votes for.
Clearly they did not learn the lessons of Deblasio. If
they put in this guy, Mom, Donnie, they deserve whatever
they get. I personally have not gone into the city
(22:03):
in years, and I refuse to. I will not spend
my hard earned money in a communist hole.
Speaker 2 (22:10):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (22:10):
Nat from New York City, also one of our great
w R listeners. He's not so happy with me.
Speaker 7 (22:16):
I am so disappointed in the man from Franklin, Tennessee.
Speaker 4 (22:22):
Making this stupid argument.
Speaker 7 (22:25):
Once New York City goes Communists, it is done.
Speaker 4 (22:30):
It is a ridiculous argument.
Speaker 2 (22:34):
You gain nothing by giving in territory to the enemy.
Speaker 6 (22:39):
You have to attack.
Speaker 2 (22:41):
I love that caller. I love that caller. He's that's
that's the spirit of New York right there. That's he's
that's calling in. I guarantee you Brooklyn. He's calling in
from Brooklyn, and he loves it. He loves New York City,
and he's not going down without a fight. I gotta say,
is that Bernie Sanders? Is he a secret listener? Is
that Bernie playing playing both sides of the equation here?
(23:03):
That sounds that's not a burn That's not a Burnie.
Speaker 1 (23:06):
That sounded Bnie to me, A little bit, a little
bit Mark Levin, a little bit Mark Levin.
Speaker 2 (23:10):
There more more more, mister mister Esteemed Levin. Yes, but uh,
definitely not.
Speaker 5 (23:17):
Bernie's down. Bernie's down here. He's got this sort of
low he's got the Brooklyn but he talks down in
this register and he will really lean in on certain
words like the oligous.
Speaker 1 (23:33):
You gotta you know what I mean, You gotta just
beat Bernie. Bernie might be your best. I have to
say Fauci is good. Bernie might be the best. But
this is if you're out there and you're saying, Okay, yes, mam,
Donnie might be an issue, but how much how much
panic is there? Elizabeth Warren is now saying, yeah, Mom Donnie,
he's a little too he's a little too far from me.
Speaker 2 (23:53):
This is not the way we should talk.
Speaker 1 (23:55):
Cut five again, make him the face of the Democrat
part for the midterms. Here's Elizabeth Warren Pocahontas herself trying
to distance herself from some of the arguments Mom Donnie
has made because they're too far left wing and crazy.
Cut five, This is not the way we should talk.
Speaker 7 (24:15):
If this encourages violence in any way, then I am
opposed to it. I am a no violence person. I
think it's a very, very bad idea. But let's be clear.
Mandani ran this race because he said I can make
government work for better for families. On the ground, I'm
willing to try new ideas to bring down costs for
(24:39):
people who live in New York City, and I understand
that big time investors are freaking out about that because
they can't quite understand how somebody is going to maybe
make it to be mayor without having come and bent
and need them.
Speaker 1 (24:57):
Okay, first of all, I love that she said I'm opposed.
Is there anybody who's ever said, hey, you know what
we need more death and destruction? I love that she
starts off by saying I'm a no violence person. Yes,
oh congratulations. Yes, we also are very opposed to murders.
She's very fled with that. She's very quick to bury
the hatchet and stay off the war path, which we
(25:19):
appreciate here. But I will say that I think she
has to distance herself from Mamdanni the Kami, because otherwise
the two race hoaxters would.
Speaker 2 (25:33):
Be lumped together. Remember, he pretended to be black. She
pretended to be Native American and it worked for her.
So she can't be too closely associated with this Mom
Donni guy, because all of a sudden, it's going to
be Elizabeth Warren posing as a Pocahontas and Mom did
Was it his middle name was always Quame or did
(25:54):
he change his name to Quame for the purposes of admission?
Speaker 1 (25:58):
My understanding, having I legitimately researched this moron's name, so
Kwame is not.
Speaker 2 (26:03):
A South Indian South Asian rather.
Speaker 1 (26:06):
Name, so I know how the dad named him after
the leader of Uganda who was named Kwame. So his
name is Zoron Quame Momdani, which is why I think
what no one else is that I've heard has pointed
this out. This is clearly why he put black African
American on the Colombia application, because then he thought they
(26:31):
would see, oh, how many Indian maybe there's one listening
right now. Are there any white Asian or Hispanic men
listening right now who are named Kwame? I would submit
that that is like, if you see the name Kwame,
you're like, that's a black guy's name.
Speaker 2 (26:47):
He knew what he was trying to do.
Speaker 1 (26:50):
He was trying to pretend to be black to get
into Colombia because he thought it helped him.
Speaker 2 (26:54):
His middle name a team in New York. You can
look this up.
Speaker 1 (26:57):
My reading on this was that his dad named him
after the leader. Middle named him after the leader of
Uganda at the time, and so the quame is in
honor of whoever the Ugandan leader was, because the guy's
only Kuam Donnie's only like thirty three years old, right,
I mean he's super young on top of all these
(27:18):
other things.
Speaker 2 (27:19):
Uh, he's never well. So is it Kwame uh Unkruma,
who was the president of Ghana but the prominent figure
in the first Pan African movement, So not specific to Uganda,
but I believe we can track this one down. It
will be Krame Nkruma, Quame Nkruma, who was a Pan
(27:42):
African nationalist, if you will that, Yeah, because that when
you think Uganda, the leaders of Uganda have been it's
been a pretty you know, Idioman is the most famous,
which is not a good thing. It's been a rough
it's been a rough go with the Uganda leader specifically.
Speaker 1 (27:57):
Yeah, I'm will readily acknowledg that my knowledge of African leaders.
Speaker 2 (28:02):
Have you seen Last Teame of Scotland, by the way,
great movie? Great? Okay. I was gonna say you and
Laura top of the list. I keep giving you guys
great recos you never watched them. But that's okay. I'm
glad you've already seen that.
Speaker 1 (28:12):
I don't watch anything except what my kids put on,
which is why I've only been watching Outer Banks of Late,
which is a great, fun, ridiculous show to watch with
your teenagers, if you got thirteen fourteen, fifteen year olds.
I bet producer Ali has watched Outer Banks. I would
bet that, yeah, it is, it is.
Speaker 2 (28:32):
It's Kwame Nkruma, the Ghanaian pan africanist leader, which reflects
his father's I mean, this guy is really it's like
if you were creating a sort of multiculturalist and globalist
resume for somebody. This guy, the communist, Mam Donnie has it.
(28:55):
I mean, this is what you're is definitely similar to
what you saw with the construction of Obama. I'm sure,
I'm sure that that sorry Zoran, I don't think anyone
calls him Kwame Zorn is looking at the Obama playbook
on a lot of this stuff with the way that
he's positioning himself politically. Let me ask you this as
(29:18):
we go to break and you guys out there listening
may be able to come up with some examples. How
many times has Elizabeth Warren not when she was running
for president? Right, because when you're running for president, you
have to attack the other people running for president. How
many times has she attacked a Democrat publicly? When she
wasn't running for the office and competing with them. This
(29:39):
is kind of unheard of for democrat to turn on
another Democrat. This is how nervous I think they are
because you can say a lot about Elizabeth Warren, but
she has a lot of connections to Wall Street, big investors.
I know, she tries to pretend that she cares about
the little person everything else, She's actually very plugged in
with elite left wing Wall Street donors. And I think
(30:00):
that's where this pressure is coming from. Because the guy's
a communists, and we need to have some fun with
his plan on the grocery stores. His plan to save
everybody money on the grocery stores. It reads like your
kid's plan, except less logical when it comes to selling
lemonade out on the corner in the neighborhood. I mean,
this is Elizabeth Warren, the the you know, the progressive leftist,
(30:25):
all that stuff. She's worth twelve million dollars personally. Yeah,
so not struggling. It turns out it's really easy to
be all about collectivism and the government taking from other
people when you've already amassed the twelve million dollar fortune
which you could easily live a very comfortable life just
(30:47):
off of the annualized interest of that in a high
yield interest account or standard mutual fund. I'm not giving
financial advice here, but this is not a twelve million
dollars in the bank. And I know that's say, oh,
that's probably real estate and stuff too. But the point
is she's rich. Lizen Warren's rich going around talking about that.
But there's there's I made my money by getting overpaid
(31:10):
for books that nobody read and doing consulting that nobody
needed because I'm a Democrat professor rich. And then there's
you know, starting a company and selling it for a
billion dollars rich. So even you know, even somebody's worth
ten million dollars, one can exploit class envy, which Elizabeth
Warren has built her entire career on. And two have
some of their own class envy, truly. You know, Bernie
(31:32):
Sanders a socialist with three houses. It's amazing how that works,
isn't it isn't that I don't have to I have
one house, and I'm not a socialist. How do I
get to be a socialist with three houses? That sounds
like fun?
Speaker 5 (31:45):
All right?
Speaker 2 (31:45):
Save yourself money. Speaking of money on a service that
you have to use every day your cell phone. When
you switch your cell phone service from AT and T,
verizonner T Mobile to pure Talk, you're immediately saving hundreds
of dollars a year without sacrificing quality. I switch from
one of those companies to pure Talk myself several years
ago and can tell you firsthand the service is top quality.
(32:06):
Twenty five dollars a month for unlimited talk, text and
plenty of data is a great price point, little known
secret in the cell phone industry, but I want to
tell it to you. Puretalk uses the same five G network,
same five G towers as one of those three companies
I mentioned. You've got the same quality of service at
a fraction of the price. With pure Talk. You can
keep your phone and your number from your cell phone.
Dial pound two fifty say Clay en Buck. You'll save
(32:28):
you an additional fifty percent off your first month. You
can literally switch over to Pure Talking about ten minutes.
Dial pound two five zero. Say the keywords Clay en
Buck to switch to Puretalk. Wireless Buy Americans for Americans.
Sometimes all you can do is laugh, and they do
a lot of it. With the Sunday hang join Clay
(32:49):
and Buck as they laugh.
Speaker 4 (32:50):
It up in the Clay and Buck podcast feed on
the iHeartRadio app or wherever you get your podcasts.
Speaker 2 (32:56):
You gonna take some of your calls, talkbacks and more
here just giving you a roadmap of the next hour.
We've got Senator Marshall Blackburn talking about the recisions package,
defunding NPR, border security, all that good stuff. Maybe we'll
put her on the hotspot for where she stands as
a fellow Tennessee and on the future of New York.
I have a feeling she'll be more charitable toward New Yorkers,
(33:17):
keeping in mind that there are a million Republicans in
New York City, thank you very much. Unfortunately, there's like
eight million Communists, but there's a million Republicans and only
half of them live on Staten Island. So we will
talk to Senator Blackburn here in a few minutes. Then
we got Alan Dershowitz about his op ed Wall Street Journal.
That topic of Epstein seems to have calmed a bit.
(33:40):
President Trump has said we're moving on at least comed
in the media. I'm not trying to stir anything up,
but we'll talk to him a little bit about the
whispers of a special counsel that have been going around
to which I think is a one not going to happen,
and two would be a very bad idea. But anyway,
we will talk to him about that coming up, and
so we'll be drinking our Crocket coffee. Cracketcoffee dot com.
(34:03):
Go to Cracket Coffee. It's delicious. You will love it.
Uh and ten percent of the prophet because it's telling
the Towers Foundation. Use code book. Get a signed copy

Speaker 1 (34:50):
Could be the way I'm wearing my T shirt right now.
If you're watching on video. Oh awesome, the gear is.
The gear is fantastic. It really is very cool. And
you fine, whatever you need fantastic. All right, let's get
to some of these, some of these call some of these.
First of all, VIP email from Kyle Buck. Lol, Dude,
I picked up on your Pocahontas shot about her willingness
(35:11):
to bury the hatchet and stay off the warpath.
Speaker 2 (35:13):
Thank you for that. I'm glad.
Speaker 1 (35:14):
You know, Kyle, I throw it in there. You gotta
listen close on the Clay and Buck show. You know,
we're always we're always weaving here. We're always keeping everybody
on their toes.
Speaker 4 (35:22):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (35:23):
VIP email Brian.
Speaker 1 (35:24):
Let the children touch the stove sometimes that's the only
way they learn.
Speaker 2 (35:29):
Man, it's a lot. Well.
Speaker 1 (35:31):
First of all, I say, if I don't think you
let the kids touch the stove, I mean that can.
I mean you don't intentionally, but every now and then
you do have to say, hey, we only have so
many life vests and New York like you tried to
make it go of it, but let Buck Island go
under the water, and that ended up being the best outcome.
Like it always turned into He's Billy Zaye from Titanic,
and he's like when they're when they're half of this
(35:52):
ship is going to drown, and Clay's like, not the
better half.
Speaker 2 (35:56):
Sorry, New York. That's why the way is funny.
Speaker 1 (35:59):
Email Kyle on this, you should have said maybe if
she had put if Rose had pulled Jack up on
the door, it would sink and now they'd both be dead.
Good point. New York's out of control. Gotta leave them behind.
Can't let them both drown. You gotta let sometimes somebody
has to drown. Sorry, New York.
Speaker 2 (36:18):
Moe from Dutchess County, New York, thirty seconds. What's going on?
Speaker 4 (36:21):
Moe?
Speaker 5 (36:23):
Why would it?
Speaker 3 (36:23):
Thank you very much?
Speaker 2 (36:24):
What would it take to Severn, New York State? From
the Five boroughs?
Speaker 3 (36:30):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (36:30):
Good night, I sash it sure,
