Hour 1 of the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show kicks off with a high-energy Election Day edition packed with breaking political analysis and cultural commentary. Clay celebrates the release of his new book “Balls”, urging listeners to support conservative voices in publishing. The hour dives deep into the New York City mayoral race, spotlighting the shocking Donald Trump endorsement of Andrew Cuomo as a strategic move to block socialist candidate Zohran Mamdani. Clay and Buck debate whether this last-minute endorsement helps or hurts Cuomo, referencing insights from Steven Miller and Van Jones, and warning that a split in the anti-Momani vote could hand victory to the far-left.
The hosts analyze key battlegrounds in Virginia and New Jersey, stressing the importance of down-ballot races like Attorney General and Lieutenant Governor. They predict razor-thin margins and urge listeners nationwide to get out and vote. Discussion turns to Momani’s progressive promises—rent freezes, free buses, and government grocery stores—which Cuomo calls “TikTok promises” with no legal basis. Clay and Buck argue these policies would worsen crime and quality of life, drawing parallels to failed corporate virtue-signaling like Starbucks’ bathroom policy and Bud Light’s marketing missteps.
Listeners hear candid takes on crime trends in New York, with Eric Adams touting record-low shootings and murders, and warnings that Momani’s agenda could reverse safety gains. The hour also touches on cultural decline in Hollywood, lamenting the collapse of blockbuster movies and shared entertainment experiences. Callers from Manhattan, Queens, and Nantucket weigh in on ballot initiatives, fears of mass migration from New York, and real-world consequences of “free everything” policies, including fentanyl overdoses on Seattle buses.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome Everybody.
Speaker 2 (00:01):
Tuesday edition of the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton show
Cat's Going Right Now Election Day edition, in fact, a
day of votes and a day of balls. Play Travis's
book goes officially on sale today the title Easy to Remember,
(00:21):
Easy to Spell, b A L LS, and there are
in fact two balls of the basketball variety on the cover.
Author Play Travis, Guys, if we want good books coming
out from good people on the right, we gotta go
buy them. Okay, I gotta tell you, in the era
of podcasting and TV and YouTube and all this stuff,
(00:43):
I've got my book coming out in February. February seventeenth
is the day Clay's book's out today. I'm just bringing
this up though, because the amount of work you do
to actually write your book. Clay writes his books. I
have written my book, meaning sat there at a computer,
not paid somebody else to do it. It's a whole conversation,
sat there at a computer and did the writing. It
is something that I hope people will appreciate on our
(01:07):
side of things, and the best way to show appreciation
is by buying the copies. Let's get Clay on the
bestseller list. Clay will be talking to you more about
balls throughout the program. But it is election day and
that is going to be, of course our focus today,
and we have a whole bunch of things happening all
at once. The New York City race is the one
that is getting by far the most attention. New Jersey
(01:29):
is going to be a squeaker. I think it's going
to be tight. Virginia not looking so good for our
cubernatorial candidate win some series not looking so good at
this point.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
But go out vote. Don't listen to me. What do
I know. I'm some guy just squawking nonsense on the radio.
Go vote.
Speaker 3 (01:44):
By the way, Also, age is going to come down
potentially in Virginia to a pen pricks difference based on
everything we're seeing, So it's important. Yes, we may lose
a governor's race, we may lose a different aspec but
the down ballot can be hugely important too, So Lieutenant
(02:04):
governor is an important job in Virginia. Attorney general, certainly
we want you to go vote for wins some seers two,
But the attorney general race looks like it could be
in Virginia one of the tightest out there. To bucks point,
New Jersey governor, Republicans win if Republicans show up in
big numbers today in New Jersey. Everybody listening to us
(02:25):
on WR and other stations in New Jersey, if you
have not voted, go do it. Go vote everywhere, because
it really is likely to come down to a hair's
breadth margin in many of these races.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
We have the biggest last minute I think change in
the voting situation or in the endorsements around that. We
have a Trump endorsement of drum Roll Andrew Cuomo in
the New York City mayor's race. This is something that
now Clay, you've been telling our beloved audience that you
(03:04):
think that this is the right move. And there have
been some New Yorkers who have been calling you from
parts of South Brooklyn with a very upset. They don't
like this talk from Clay about voting for the Kami well,
voting for Cuomo only, voting for Sliwa allowed. Clay does
not like, does not like the prospects of Sliwa winning
(03:25):
this and so has made the machiavellian decision to go
in favor of a Cuomo as the lesser of two evils.
And I do think two evils is the right way
to describe those candidates. And we have a whole bunch
of reaction to this, Clay, I want you to react well.
First of all, Stephen Miller, who we know another a
(03:48):
brilliant strategist and a senior White House aid and friend
of the show. This has cut seven. Here he is saying,
anti mom Donnie vote, go vote Cuomo, play.
Speaker 4 (03:58):
It as far as New York is concerned, as you
talked about, as we've said, unfortunately, the anti Momdamie vote
is being split between Cuomo and Sliwa, and President Trump
tonight put out a statement being clear that if you
vote for Sliwa, who's pulling at about a third of
where Cuomo is, you're just throwing your vote away The
anti Momdamie vote, which is really the pro New York
(04:19):
City vote, the pro America vote, needs to unite behind
the leading candidate, and that's Andrew Cuomo.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
Man, there you go.
Speaker 3 (04:28):
Is everybody going to be as angry at Trump and
Stephen Miller for telling you on the day before the
election what I have been telling you for weeks, which
is Sliwa can't win, and all he is doing is
helping Mamdanni and we had him on last week and
I asked him this directly. I think Curtis Sliwa hates
(04:51):
Andrew Cuomo, and he has stayed in the race partly
out of principle because it is true that Democrats have
created this problem, but also, as he told us, because
he truly does not see a difference between Mom Donnie
and Cuomo. And so the idea that he would help
either of those guys, particularly Cuomo, who I think he
probably hates more than he does Mom Donni because they
(05:12):
have history together, is a decision that he made. And
my concern is that when we get these results start
rolling in tonight, that we will see Mom Donnie not
win over fifty percent of the vote and win because
the anti Mam Donnie vote was split between Sleeve one
and Cuomo. And that's what Trump is telling us now.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
Buck. It may also be the case, based on this.
Speaker 3 (05:35):
Turnout, that Mam Donnie wins over fifty percent, and it
wouldn't have mattered anyway. And if that's going to end
up happening, then all this was for naught, no matter what.
And it would suggest that at least in New York City.
Being an avowed socialist candidate doesn't put much of a
of a rock on top of your head of expectations,
(05:59):
and so your see is maybe higher than people would
have anticipated. So this is where we're going to start
to see what the results of this race truly are.
And I'm up in New York City right now, and
it's all everybody's talking about, and it looks like the
New York City Mayor's race may set an all time
record for most of votes. I just want to let
(06:19):
you know New Yorkers that I did encourage Clay to
walk around and offer to sign copies for anybody who
buys balls of his book, but not to hand out
flyers about moving to Franklin, Tennessee.
Speaker 1 (06:35):
That it's too soon.
Speaker 2 (06:36):
We have to see how this shakes out. He's not
allowed to recruit off the streets of New York while
he's there in our darkest hour of communists taking over.
So he has agreed he will sign the book, but
he will not give you flyers on how to move,
how to get a U haul set up for Tennessee's
I will say the numbers out there. Did you see
this report that a million people say they're going to
(06:58):
leave New York City now I think this it's a
little bit by people who say I'm gonna move to
Canada Trump Wins. I doubt that most of them would move,
but let's say that one hundred thousand, ten percent of
the million.
Speaker 3 (07:12):
I don't think that's crazy. I think one hundred thousand
New Yorkers, if i'm Donnie Wins might say I'm out,
I'm going to Florida, I'm going to Texas, I'm going
to Tennessee. What did Davy Crockett say, you can go
to Hell, I'm going to Texas? All time great line
Crockettcoffee dot COM's Davy Crockett, not Jasmine Crockett. But I
think there's some people who just say New York can
(07:33):
go to Hell. I'm going to Texas, or I'm going
to Tennessee, or I'm going to.
Speaker 2 (07:37):
Ll Certainly, there certainly will be some outflow I think
into the tri State, so Connecticut, New Jersey, New York
outside of the urban the urban bubble that will happen.
I don't know in what numbers. There have been people
snapping up real estate. It's one thing to move to
Putnam County. It's another thing to move to beach, right, Yeah,
(08:01):
it's another thing to decide you're going to or to
Orlando or wherever. So we'll see. I agree, Clay, I
don't think I think people are frustrated. I don't believe
that you'll see a large outflood New Yorkers because I
think that most of the New Yorkers who are going
to leave, like me, left during COVID. I think that
that pushed a lot further in this direction than anything
we're seeing right now.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
But we'll see.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
We'll see the number of people that want to move
versus who will move. That is an important distinction as well.
I think a lot of people will want to move,
but it's hard. You got family, anything else.
Speaker 1 (08:33):
But tell me this.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
Do you agree with this assessment of Van Jones over
this is cut fourteen, suggesting that the Cuomo endorsement by
Trump could, given the political realities of New York, actually
hurt Cuomo Play play fourteen.
Speaker 5 (08:52):
Look, I there must have been some kind of handshake
deal between Mom, Donnie and Trump for Trump to come
out in New York faceted endorsement.
Speaker 1 (09:01):
And non endorsement.
Speaker 5 (09:03):
But like, I can't think of a worse thing to
happen to Cuomo than for Donald Trump to come out
last night in this town and say what he said?
Speaker 1 (09:14):
What do you think of that?
Speaker 3 (09:15):
I think it's probably why they waited until now, candidly,
because there's a lot of early voting that's already taken place,
and I suspect that they said, early voting, you made
juice turnout. I don't think most people on election day
are going to be motivated to vote against Trump. I
(09:36):
think Trump's calculus is there might be some people out
there that haven't decided how they're going to vote, and
if it's a close race, that this could swing the difference.
My concern now is Mom, Donnie seems to be rolling
buck and that if he wins over fifty percent, then
all of this was for naught. I mean, to be fair,
(09:56):
it wouldn't have mattered if Curtis Lee what was in.
It wouldn't have mattered how many other candidates were there,
because if he wins over fifty percent, then the majority
of New York voters, and a majority of New York
voters with a huge turnout potentially record are saying, Mam,
Donnie's our guy. Now, Cuomo, I think has run a
(10:16):
poor campaign, but he's actually pointing out something that is
very important.
Speaker 1 (10:21):
Cut sixteen.
Speaker 3 (10:22):
He's saying what Mamdanni is promising to people he doesn't
even have the power to deliver on. And I do
think that that might be beneficial to New York City.
Cut sixteen.
Speaker 6 (10:34):
I called them the TikTok promises that he put forth
in the primary. None of them are real. The mayor
is going to freeze the rent. People think it means
he's going to freeze their rent. No, no, no, no. First
of all, the mayor has no ability to freeze anybody's rent,
no legal ability. It's done by an independent board that
is term appointed, and then it's only for about twenty
five percent of the housing units called the rent stabilized units,
(10:56):
So it will never happen. We're going to have a
government owned the grocery store, one in each borough. We
have sixteen thousand grocery stores. Five grocery stores. Are not
going to make a difference. Free buses. It's not up
to the Mayor's up to the state. State said they're
not going to do it. It's all bs, it's all
campaign rhetoric. None of it will change anybody's life.
Speaker 3 (11:18):
Where was this for the past several months? Cuomo finding
an ability to make the case against Mom Donnie. I
get it, Hey, this is the final a day, the
final hours, but wouldn't this have been helpful back during
the primary. Wouldn't this have been helpful in the last
several months. I just think if Mam Donnie wins, it's
not only a credit to Mom Donnie's personal charisma and
(11:41):
the fact that a lot of people want to believe
in the tooth fairy, so to speak, but it's also
a function of how poor of a job Andrew Cuomo
has done defining the absurdity of the Mam Donnie campaign.
Speaker 2 (11:53):
Well, he has run a terrible campaign. I think there's
even been some admission of that from the Cuomo side
that he has not done. He has been not just inept,
but lazy too. It's certainly in the primary, in the
Democrat primary, he thought he was gonna walk away with this.
Speaker 1 (12:09):
We've seen this happen before New York.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
Remember AOC took out the number three Democrat in terms
of House leadership. I forget the guy's name. That tellsy something,
but he just figured I'm gonna win, didn't campaign, didn't
show up, didn't care, And now we've got AOC running
around saying crazy stuff.
Speaker 1 (12:28):
Mom.
Speaker 2 (12:28):
Donnie was also something of a sleeper candidate here, at
least in the primary, and when he took out Cuomo
was because Cuomo was lazy and thought that he was
kind of entitled to represent the Democrats in the city
of New York. It's looking like it's gonna be Mandani,
but you know, Cuomo could pull something out here.
Speaker 1 (12:47):
At the very end.
Speaker 2 (12:48):
Maybe that's my most hopeful note I can hit on this,
and I'm not even very hopeful.
Speaker 1 (12:52):
Clay Homo's awful. I'm sorry. I know people want to
believe that this would be some huge.
Speaker 2 (12:58):
Metaphorical bullet dodge by New York, and no, I think
Womo is pretty terrible too, So even if he wins,
we got problems in New York.
Speaker 1 (13:07):
We got problems.
Speaker 3 (13:08):
Also important to understand the way media is going to
spin this. I'm looking at CNN right now. Their headline
is voters deliver early report card on Trump presidency. Even
though it's blue state Virginia, even though it's blue state
New Jersey, even though it is deep blue New York City.
(13:28):
They are going to argue if the results are Democrats win,
as they are favored to win, many of these races.
They're going to argue that this is a massive repudiation
of Trump and that Americans regret the decision that they
made a year ago. Just prepare yourselves.
Speaker 2 (13:42):
People vote. Most people vote first and foremost based on
how it makes them feel to cast that vote for
that person, that party, that candidate. So if you can
tap into frustration resentment. Some idea that this is an
(14:03):
effort to check or veto or slow down the Trump administration,
as absurd as that is, it's again the tooth fairy syndrome, right,
this does nothing. Having a communist mayor in New York
does nothing to stop the Trump administration. Really, But if
people feel like it does, you get mom, Donnie, we'll see.
We'll take your calls on this too. Wor listeners, light
(14:25):
us up, tell us what you're hearing and seeing. Unplanned
pregnancies are scary when you're not planning something as huge
as bring another life into this world. There's often that
quote unquote easier choice that is being pushed on young women,
sometimes even by their families or their own partner, and
it can be a very tough moment. But that's why
(14:46):
there are organizations that are out there right now as
I'm speaking to you, that are saving the lives of
tiny babies. This year, preborn clinics save the lives of
sixty seven thousand unborn children by offering pregnant women with
an unplay pregnancy another option. Because when a mom to
be walks into one of those preborn clinics, she's welcome
(15:06):
with open arms. She's introduced to her baby through an ultrasound,
and for the first time, she sees that life so
clearly and has offered so many hope filled choices by
preborn and Preborn will continue with her for up to
two years after the birth of the baby, providing maternity clothes, diapers, counseling,
and so much more. Preborn cares for the whole woman,
(15:27):
her mind, body, and soul and the precious baby growing
inside her. There are hundreds of thousands of mothers to
be in this situation. They need your help. As you're
closing out this year, think about a deductible tax deductible
donation to preborn, which can be the difference between life
and death for a tiny baby in the womb. Using
your cell phone, pound two five zero and say the
(15:48):
keyword baby. That's pound two five zero, say baby, or
visit preborn dot com slash buck. All gifts are tax deductible.
Like I said, Preborn is a five star rated charity.

Buck Sex to them. Find them on the free iHeartRadio
app or wherever you get your podcasts.
Speaker 3 (16:15):
Welcome back in Clay Travis Buck Sexton Show. Just to reiterate,
go vote, go vote, go vote down. Ballot matters a
great deal. We talk about New Jersey, we talk about Virginia,
we talk about New York City. But there are a
lot of different mayor votes that are happening. I believe Cincinnati, Detroit,
Prop fifty in California. There are so many different significant
(16:40):
elections that are taking place all over the country. And again,
we want all of you, if you are listening to us,
we would like to have a hundred percent voter rate
for all of you that are eligible all over the country. Minneapolis,
not that they have great options, but there is an
election taking place there as well. Buck, when we were
(17:04):
talking about what's going on in New York City, let
me play this for you. This is a liberal white
woman asked her biggest concerns this is cut three.
Speaker 1 (17:13):
Listen.
Speaker 8 (17:16):
I think what's really important in standing out for me
right now is if we can take ourselves like a
high level like not say immigration, not say economy, not
say all the hot talking points, and just ask ourselves
how are we treating our neighbors? Like how are we
treating one another? And is it okay that yesterday on Saturday,
forty two million of our neighbors no longer can feed themselves?
(17:38):
It is okay? Is it okay that our neighbors are
getting taken off the streets by ice? Is it okay
that gender affirming care is being taken from young people
who really need it to survive? Is it okay that
the Supreme Court has now justified racial profiling. That's not
how I want to treat my neighbor.
Speaker 2 (17:54):
That is woman is the destruction of Western civilization in
one sound book.
Speaker 1 (17:58):
No doubt.
Speaker 3 (18:00):
And look, we want to have some fun with you,
notwithstanding that awfulness, and we'll break down what's going on
in New York City. But you can play prize Picks
all over the country. You can play in California, you
can play in Texas, you can play in Georgia. If
you're feeling left out, you can also play in Florida
where Buck is.
Speaker 1 (18:15):

Com Code Clay, Hi.
Speaker 2 (18:55):
Welcome back into Clay and Buck. Election Day twenty twenty five,
this year in big races New York City mayor, New
Jersey governor, Virginia governor and Title fifty or Proposition fifty. Sorry,
Proposition fifty out in California. Not forgetting about that, Gavin
Newsom just trying to stack the deck before the midterms.
(19:15):
With a last second redrawing of congressional districts, just trying
to work the refs, just trying to do whatever he
can to throw things toward the Democrats, no matter how slimy.
In fact, the slimier, the more Newsom likes it. You know,
this is really how he prefers things to be. I
(19:37):
would argue, But let's get back into New York here
for a second. We'll talk about those other races, and
we will give you the latest on all of it,
and we will have obviously results to discuss with you tomorrow.
And at this point, you know what the polls are,
the prognostications from across the political class on this stuff.
Speaker 1 (19:56):
We shall see. Over in morning, Joe, I was not
watching live. I will let you know. Disappointing, I understand.
Speaker 3 (20:04):
I saw your boy Trump teed off on your boy
morning Joe. Did you see ripped? How bad his ratings
have gotten this morning? I think this is like bucks
world's colliding. Yeah, Trump went after Morning Joe said his
ratings have collapsed and that he'd loved to see it
something like that.
Speaker 2 (20:20):
Well, I think that without me watching, it's probably noticeable,
you know, I think that over at NBC. They're like,
what happened to that obsessive watcher with that one obsessive
watcher we have in Miami Beach who was during the
election watching so much mourning Joe. But here it is.
Here he is at Joe Scarborough introducing Mom Donnie, and
(20:43):
I want you to hear how he does it.
Speaker 1 (20:44):
Played ten n Mam Donnie joins us. Now the communist
joins us.
Speaker 6 (20:49):
Now, how do you respond to that when somebody comes
up to you, so I can't vote for you because
you're a communist?
Speaker 9 (20:54):
Said, there are reasons you might not want to vote
for me, But let's be honest with my politics. I'm
a democratic socialist, no matter how many times as President
Trump calls me the other one.
Speaker 1 (21:03):
You know, I keep going with this one.
Speaker 2 (21:06):
Mom Donnie also again on this democratic socialism not communist,
and this is cut eleven.
Speaker 1 (21:11):
Listen to this one.
Speaker 6 (21:13):
What is the difference between it a democrat, a democratic socialist,
and a communist.
Speaker 9 (21:18):
Well, I'm a democratic socialist who's also a democrat, right,
And when I say I'm a democratic socialist, I explain
it in the words of doctor King from decades ago,
who said that call it democracy or call it democratic socialism.
There must be a better distribution of wealth for all
of God's children in this country, right. And what I
actually find is that when you're speaking to New Yorkers,
they ask you less how you describe your politics and
(21:39):
more whether there's room for them in that politics. And
New Yorkers are asking me, does your politics have room
for my struggle to afford my rent, my childcare, my groceries.
And frankly, President Trump ran an entire campaign focusing on
the cost of living, focusing on the promise of cheaper groceries,
and his inability to do so is now making him
increasingly desperate to try and stop the cam and pain
(22:00):
that will actually deliver on the same diagnosis that he shared.
Speaker 1 (22:04):
I just want to I want to go on the
record here.
Speaker 2 (22:05):
What Cuomo said about how Mam Donnie is not going
to make any of these things happen is true. And
a year from now, guarantee, I'm gonna guarantee this isn't
in a bridge. This is a guarantee. A year from now,
you and I Clay will be sitting here and saying, Hey,
guess what. Housing isn't cheaper in New York. Food isn't cheaper.
Speaker 1 (22:23):
In New York.
Speaker 2 (22:24):
There's no there's no change to standards of live If anything,
it's going to be more expensive.
Speaker 1 (22:31):
That's the part of this. The people don't understand.
Speaker 2 (22:33):
If anything, if Mamdannie gets his way, is going to
drive up costs because fundamentally, you hear the way this
guy talks. He's appealing to emotions, removing accountability for the
people that he's appealing to, and making promises about things
that he fundamentally does not understand. He does not understand
(22:55):
the market mechanisms that lead to the price of rent,
the price of food in New York.
Speaker 1 (23:02):
He is an.
Speaker 2 (23:02):
Ignoramus with a silver tongue. I think that's very well said.
Speaker 3 (23:07):
I would also point out this morning I was checking
out Eric adams twitter feed, new York City's current mayor.
Clearly I had a lot of time to do prep.
But New York Today yesterday announced that they had record
low shooting incidents and shooting victims for the first ten
(23:27):
months of the year and in October so record low,
and murders have declined by almost half compared to last year.
Eighteen murders in New York City in October compared to
thirty five last year lowest level of shootings and lowest
level of murders. I know Eric Adams is not on
(23:49):
the ballot anymore, but the one thing Eric Adams ran
on was that he would make New York safer. And
certainly the numbers were awful in twenty twenty and twenty
twenty one, but thanks to Jessica Tish's work and the
focus of Mayor Eric Adams, there's actually decent numbers coming
in on safety. And I think this is starting to
(24:11):
happen nationwide because Democrats have just finally repudiated the defund
the police narrative. But I do think this is one
area buck where Mam Donnie might say, Hey, I'm gonna
make buses free, and I'm gonna fix your rent and
you're gonna pay a lot less. And as Andrew Cuomo said,
you cannot do anything there. The one thing that he
can definitely do is make New York less safe. And
(24:34):
I am desperately concerned based on his rhetoric that that
is the one area which is probably the most important
when it comes to what your mayor can do that
people of New York are convinced can continue to improve
that Mam Donnie is likely to make worse. So we
can talk about things he can't do, but he can
(24:55):
certainly make this city a lot more dangerous than it
is right now.
Speaker 2 (25:00):
You see the ways that New York got worse, and
it was really an unholy alliance between these nonprofits that exist.
They're kind of there's the I think there's the ny
c LU, like the it's a version of the ACLU,
but it's for New York City. They have these nonprofits
(25:23):
that sue on behalf of justice and equity that make
it impossible to prosecute people in the city of New York.
And I had a friend who was in the Prosecutor's
office in New York, in the DA's office, who said
that one of the things that they'll do is they
just they just keep on flooding the system with uh
with challenges to process, so that by the time you're
(25:46):
actually able to bring cases against people, your resources in
the DA's office are depleted and you have to just
pick and choose only the most severe cases, because even
when you have someone who's arrested thirty times, you don't
have the manpower, the actual manpower, the hours to have
somebody show up in court or have somebody deal with
him and all that stuff. So the prosecutor's off is
(26:09):
a huge problem. Alvin Bragg is a huge problem, and
that has been something that New York City has suffered from.
I think substantially the numbers go to that, but also
with someone like Mamdani when he says something like we
want to make buses free. Everyone knew right away, remember Clay,
when there was that whole thing of like, oh there
(26:30):
was racism at Starbucks because somebody asked somebody if they
actually were buying a cup of coffee or something. And
then Starbucks had this policy, this was years and years ago,
of all right, you don't even have to buy coffee,
you can just use our bathrooms. And you know what
happened to everybody? The Starbucks bathrooms became disgusting. Okay, they
became absolute Petrie dishes of all the the you know,
(26:51):
all the gross things that you managed to bring together
are just you know, on the floor, on the walls.
Speaker 1 (26:56):
It was disgusting, okay.
Speaker 2 (26:57):
And anyone who's been in a Starbucks in a major
city has seen this and they realized, oh wait, we've
made a mistake here. We've just created effectively drug use
and like temporary homeless shelters that mom Donnie thinks that
a free bus system in the city of New York
is going to make people safer because the people who
are arguing with whether they pay the fare are somehow
(27:20):
not now going to be on the bus.
Speaker 1 (27:22):
They're just going to be on the bus robbing people,
no doubt.
Speaker 3 (27:25):
And this is also a great example of how you
can make a decision that makes people happy on social
media and it's actually the worst decision for your brand,
because the Starbucks one is a great example. They decided
because a couple of black guys were sitting in a
Starbucks for too long and said they were forced out
(27:45):
because it was racist, that they basically would never ever
force people out of Starbucks again, and everybody could use
the bathrooms, and homeless people just flooded Starbucks.
Speaker 1 (27:57):
The business collapsed because no, he.
Speaker 3 (28:00):
Wants to go into a coffee shop that's filled with vagrants.
And to your point, Buck, the buses are just going
to get worse because when the weather's bad, homeless people
are just gonna get on the buses and never get off.
They're just gonna sit on there all the time. Do
you want to be in that filth and refuse.
Speaker 2 (28:16):
Can I just tell you it was twenty eighteen. I
looked this up. It was twenty eighteen and Starbucks did
this thing where they said, you can, you don't have to,
you can be in our face. So you basically have
created a homeless shelter, because remember these when you say homeless,
it's not even really you're talking about people who are
in many cases drug addicted or severely mentally ill, or
(28:38):
accommodation thereof, who choose to live on the streets. They
do not want to be in a shelter. They choose
to live in the streets, and they just go from
one sort of place where they can spend time and
usually do drugs to another. Starbucks found this out the
hard way. Everybody knew this when Starbucks did this, but
they're like, oh my gosh, we are so scared of racism.
Speaker 1 (29:01):
And in twenty eighteen, guess what.
Speaker 2 (29:02):
In twenty twenty five, beginning of this year, they officially
reversed the policy because it was so destructive.
Speaker 3 (29:07):
And what happened was they had guys at of Philadelphia's
Starbucks I think, who were asking to use the bathroom
without buying anything, and they basically said, hey, policy is
bathrooms are for customers, which is almost policy everywhere right
in any for profit business. And the guy said, oh,
(29:28):
this was because of racism. So then because they were
getting accused of racism, Starbucks just said anybody can use
our bathrooms, including you know, people who are not customers
at all, and the whole business collapsed because they rejected
the policy that had worked for decades in order to
try to make people happier on social media and oftentimes
(29:50):
the best lesson for controversy is do less. Bud Light,
do less, Cracker Barrel, do less. Just don't try and
appealed to an audience that is in no way. I
mean when you look at the trans beer issue, when
you look at Cracker Barrel.
Speaker 1 (30:07):
Who came up if it ain't broke, don't fix it.
That's a good one. Yeah, that's a very good That's
an old, old school one. Yes. I actually learned that
one from.
Speaker 2 (30:16):
Beauty and the Beast, and it was a play on
words because he said, if it ain't broke, don't fix it.
Speaker 1 (30:22):
You remember that one? Oh yeah, I do?
Speaker 10 (30:23):
Did?
Speaker 1 (30:23):
I just got too nerdy for you.
Speaker 3 (30:25):
Beauty and Beast is great. I mean that was during
the Aladdin era. They put together a lot of good
but Disney was making good movies, making good movies.
Speaker 2 (30:32):
It's something crazy just appealed to everybody, don't I saw.
I saw our friend Ben Dominic, who I've known now again,
I like to play this game, so it reminds me
how old I am. I think I've known Ben almost
fifteen years now.
Speaker 1 (30:43):
Yep.
Speaker 2 (30:43):
We started in the business around the same time. There
was like a whole crop of us doing stuff. At
the Blaze, he put out that I think it was
the lowest box office receipts over Halloween is usually horror movies,
and you know, people get all the lowest box office
receipts going into Halloween for that weekend in almost thirty
years and there were no new released, wide release movies.
(31:05):
The movie industry is is just on its ass, which
if you had told me this was possible twenty years ago,
when movies were the dominant American and global art of
like American movies were the dominant global form of entertainment
as well as here here at home. And now it's
maybe you get like one new movie every few months
(31:28):
on one of your streaming services.
Speaker 1 (31:29):
That's just okay.
Speaker 3 (31:30):
Yeah, And It's really disappointing because it's funny you mentioned
Beauty and the Beast, but Aladdin, the Pirates of the
Caribbean movies, and certainly for us when we were kids,
the Indiana Jones movie Star Wars, all those things. It
used to be such a badge of honor to try
to make a movie that could appeal to everyone. And
it doesn't even feel as if anyone tries to do
(31:52):
that anymore.
Speaker 1 (31:53):
Right, Well, it used to be.
Speaker 2 (31:54):
It used to be a cultural touchstone too. You would
be like, have you seen Yes, remember when you would
say to people, oh, have you seen the latest?
Speaker 1 (32:01):
Have you seen the Batman movie? Have you seen the
Pirates the Caribbee?
Speaker 2 (32:05):
Have you seen et? I mean, you know whatever it is?
And now you don't even have those conversations anymore.
Speaker 1 (32:11):
I think it's moved to sports.
Speaker 3 (32:12):
Buck, You're gonna have to come back in hardcore on
sports fandom because I think the number of things that
people share is actually dwindled, and there's a desperate want
to have that connection across across backgrounds with a shared experience.
I really think that's gonna happen with the Live pro.
Speaker 2 (32:31):
Maybe Mom Donnie can promise that we're gonna start making
good Tommy mom. Donnie is like, we're gonna start making
great movies again too. Just because he says so. I mean,
maybe at least that would be fun to vote for him.
It's not gonna happen.
Speaker 3 (32:41):
At least it's an aspirational goal that would make destroy
the country. Anti Semitism, speaking of destroying the country, is
on the rise. It's been for the past couple of years.
As you guys know, not just around the world, but
right here in this country too. Jewish schools, targeted, synagogues,
threatened silences, and an option. It's time take a stand
on the side good against evil. International Fellowship of Christians
(33:03):
and Jews. That's the IFCJ is on the front lines,
providing real help where it's needed most, giving food shelter
to Jewish families that feel under threat, helping survivors of
hate rebuild their lives. And they don't just respond to crisis,
they work every day to prevent it. I saw the
work that they do with the IFCJ when I was
in Israel last year. Your gift of forty five dollars

food shelter and so much more. Support the IFCJ. It's

Speaker 7 (33:57):
Patriots Radio hosts a couple of regular guys, Clay Travis
and Buck Sexton. Find them on the free iHeartRadio app
or wherever you get your podcasts.
Speaker 3 (34:08):
Welcome back in Clay Travis Buck Sexton Show. I'm gonna
talk about it again. Please go buy my book Balls.
I don't ask for a lot, I'm asking you to
help me sell a bunch of balls. It's everywhere. We're
gonna take some of your calls here. Today is booker
release Day. It is in bookstores everywhere. You can buy
it on Amazon. Drive me up. I would love to
(34:30):
be on the bestseller list. Make the New York Times
put me there. I don't know if they ever will.
Let's go to some of your calls. Jesse in Manhattan.
What you got Jesse.
Speaker 10 (34:38):
Gentlemen, great show, and I voted in New York City today,
but I got to tell people they're a ballot initiat
initiatives on that ballot. They got to vote no on
all six of those ballots because three of them, boots, two, three,
and four give to Maya all the power to develop
real estate now with neighborhoods, and we will be able
to stop it. You have a lunatic Maya. He's gonna
(34:59):
put a housing project and homeless shelter in your neighborhood.
And it's that's what Man Danny would want to do.
And I'm just urging everybody to get out there. They're
breaking records. They're gonna go over two million votes today,
which would be a record, well not really a record,
but for the first time maybe in fifty years or something.
And I'm really glad people are voting. They got to
stop Man Danny the Communist. But listen, let's face it,
(35:20):
this is the pullout from the sixty five Immigration Act.
Anyone who says it just a come here legally should
wear a dunce cap when they vote today. And you
know that's just the way. There's no one will six bollots.
Speaker 1 (35:31):
Guys, thanks Jesse and Manhattan. Sean in Queens. What you
got for Sean?
Speaker 11 (35:37):
Hey, what's so guys?
Speaker 12 (35:39):
Hopefully go to steal look and pull for a miracle
on thirty fourth Street.
Speaker 1 (35:42):
It's not.
Speaker 12 (35:44):
Maybe Cuomo will save the city. But I think we
got a room as a party. Does I think we
had the president telling us to back Cuomo, who is
a worse Democrat than Eric Adams ever was.
Speaker 2 (35:58):
I don't disagree. Thank you, that's true. Thank you for
the call. I mean, when we do one quick one here? Yeah,
David and Nantucket. Are you calling us from your schooner?
Speaker 11 (36:07):
Oh no, hey, guys, just you don't have to look far.
See what free buses do. A couple of years ago,
I was in Seattle. I saw a local news story.
The homeless drug addicts or smoking fentanyl on an open
piece of tinfoil, and because they can't do it in
the wind, they on the buses. People were being overcome.
An old woman had to get rushed to the hospital
(36:28):
because she was overcome with fentanyl fumes. A driver actually
gotten a crash because he had and a reaction to
overdous And they have done nothing. So this is what
free everything does.
Speaker 2 (36:39):
Oh yeah, now, free. Everything is a prison for everyone else, actually,
but that's a whole other part of this conversation. Clay,
where are you taking us next?
Speaker 1 (36:47):
Buddy? Including bus drivers? Buck?
Speaker 3 (36:49):
Can you imagine how awful this is. We'll dive more
into Virginia and New Jersey next
Welcome Everybody.
Speaker 2 (00:01):
Tuesday edition of the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton show
Cat's Going Right Now Election Day edition, in fact, a
day of votes and a day of balls. Play Travis's
book goes officially on sale today the title Easy to Remember,
(00:21):
Easy to Spell, b A L LS, and there are
in fact two balls of the basketball variety on the cover.
Author Play Travis, Guys, if we want good books coming
out from good people on the right, we gotta go
buy them. Okay, I gotta tell you, in the era
of podcasting and TV and YouTube and all this stuff,
(00:43):
I've got my book coming out in February. February seventeenth
is the day Clay's book's out today. I'm just bringing
this up though, because the amount of work you do
to actually write your book. Clay writes his books. I
have written my book, meaning sat there at a computer,
not paid somebody else to do it. It's a whole conversation,
sat there at a computer and did the writing. It
is something that I hope people will appreciate on our
(01:07):
side of things, and the best way to show appreciation
is by buying the copies. Let's get Clay on the
bestseller list. Clay will be talking to you more about
balls throughout the program. But it is election day and
that is going to be, of course our focus today,
and we have a whole bunch of things happening all
at once. The New York City race is the one
that is getting by far the most attention. New Jersey
(01:29):
is going to be a squeaker. I think it's going
to be tight. Virginia not looking so good for our
cubernatorial candidate win some series not looking so good at
this point.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
But go out vote. Don't listen to me. What do
I know. I'm some guy just squawking nonsense on the radio.
Go vote.
Speaker 3 (01:44):
By the way, Also, age is going to come down
potentially in Virginia to a pen pricks difference based on
everything we're seeing, So it's important. Yes, we may lose
a governor's race, we may lose a different aspec but
the down ballot can be hugely important too, So Lieutenant
(02:04):
governor is an important job in Virginia. Attorney general, certainly
we want you to go vote for wins some seers two,
But the attorney general race looks like it could be
in Virginia one of the tightest out there. To bucks point,
New Jersey governor, Republicans win if Republicans show up in
big numbers today in New Jersey. Everybody listening to us
(02:25):
on WR and other stations in New Jersey, if you
have not voted, go do it. Go vote everywhere, because
it really is likely to come down to a hair's
breadth margin in many of these races.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
We have the biggest last minute I think change in
the voting situation or in the endorsements around that. We
have a Trump endorsement of drum Roll Andrew Cuomo in
the New York City mayor's race. This is something that
now Clay, you've been telling our beloved audience that you
(03:04):
think that this is the right move. And there have
been some New Yorkers who have been calling you from
parts of South Brooklyn with a very upset. They don't
like this talk from Clay about voting for the Kami well,
voting for Cuomo only, voting for Sliwa allowed. Clay does
not like, does not like the prospects of Sliwa winning
(03:25):
this and so has made the machiavellian decision to go
in favor of a Cuomo as the lesser of two evils.
And I do think two evils is the right way
to describe those candidates. And we have a whole bunch
of reaction to this, Clay, I want you to react well.
First of all, Stephen Miller, who we know another a
(03:48):
brilliant strategist and a senior White House aid and friend
of the show. This has cut seven. Here he is saying,
anti mom Donnie vote, go vote Cuomo, play.
Speaker 4 (03:58):
It as far as New York is concerned, as you
talked about, as we've said, unfortunately, the anti Momdamie vote
is being split between Cuomo and Sliwa, and President Trump
tonight put out a statement being clear that if you
vote for Sliwa, who's pulling at about a third of
where Cuomo is, you're just throwing your vote away The
anti Momdamie vote, which is really the pro New York
(04:19):
City vote, the pro America vote, needs to unite behind
the leading candidate, and that's Andrew Cuomo.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
Man, there you go.
Speaker 3 (04:28):
Is everybody going to be as angry at Trump and
Stephen Miller for telling you on the day before the
election what I have been telling you for weeks, which
is Sliwa can't win, and all he is doing is
helping Mamdanni and we had him on last week and
I asked him this directly. I think Curtis Sliwa hates
(04:51):
Andrew Cuomo, and he has stayed in the race partly
out of principle because it is true that Democrats have
created this problem, but also, as he told us, because
he truly does not see a difference between Mom Donnie
and Cuomo. And so the idea that he would help
either of those guys, particularly Cuomo, who I think he
probably hates more than he does Mom Donni because they
(05:12):
have history together, is a decision that he made. And
my concern is that when we get these results start
rolling in tonight, that we will see Mom Donnie not
win over fifty percent of the vote and win because
the anti Mam Donnie vote was split between Sleeve one
and Cuomo. And that's what Trump is telling us now.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
Buck. It may also be the case, based on this.
Speaker 3 (05:35):
Turnout, that Mam Donnie wins over fifty percent, and it
wouldn't have mattered anyway. And if that's going to end
up happening, then all this was for naught, no matter what.
And it would suggest that at least in New York City.
Being an avowed socialist candidate doesn't put much of a
of a rock on top of your head of expectations,
(05:59):
and so your see is maybe higher than people would
have anticipated. So this is where we're going to start
to see what the results of this race truly are.
And I'm up in New York City right now, and
it's all everybody's talking about, and it looks like the
New York City Mayor's race may set an all time
record for most of votes. I just want to let
(06:19):
you know New Yorkers that I did encourage Clay to
walk around and offer to sign copies for anybody who
buys balls of his book, but not to hand out
flyers about moving to Franklin, Tennessee.
Speaker 1 (06:35):
That it's too soon.
Speaker 2 (06:36):
We have to see how this shakes out. He's not
allowed to recruit off the streets of New York while
he's there in our darkest hour of communists taking over.
So he has agreed he will sign the book, but
he will not give you flyers on how to move,
how to get a U haul set up for Tennessee's
I will say the numbers out there. Did you see
this report that a million people say they're going to
(06:58):
leave New York City now I think this it's a
little bit by people who say I'm gonna move to
Canada Trump Wins. I doubt that most of them would move,
but let's say that one hundred thousand, ten percent of
the million.
Speaker 3 (07:12):
I don't think that's crazy. I think one hundred thousand
New Yorkers, if i'm Donnie Wins might say I'm out,
I'm going to Florida, I'm going to Texas, I'm going
to Tennessee. What did Davy Crockett say, you can go
to Hell, I'm going to Texas? All time great line
Crockettcoffee dot COM's Davy Crockett, not Jasmine Crockett. But I
think there's some people who just say New York can
(07:33):
go to Hell. I'm going to Texas, or I'm going
to Tennessee, or I'm going to.
Speaker 2 (07:37):
Ll Certainly, there certainly will be some outflow I think
into the tri State, so Connecticut, New Jersey, New York
outside of the urban the urban bubble that will happen.
I don't know in what numbers. There have been people
snapping up real estate. It's one thing to move to
Putnam County. It's another thing to move to beach, right, Yeah,
(08:01):
it's another thing to decide you're going to or to
Orlando or wherever. So we'll see. I agree, Clay, I
don't think I think people are frustrated. I don't believe
that you'll see a large outflood New Yorkers because I
think that most of the New Yorkers who are going
to leave, like me, left during COVID. I think that
that pushed a lot further in this direction than anything
we're seeing right now.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
But we'll see.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
We'll see the number of people that want to move
versus who will move. That is an important distinction as well.
I think a lot of people will want to move,
but it's hard. You got family, anything else.
Speaker 1 (08:33):
But tell me this.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
Do you agree with this assessment of Van Jones over
this is cut fourteen, suggesting that the Cuomo endorsement by
Trump could, given the political realities of New York, actually
hurt Cuomo Play play fourteen.
Speaker 5 (08:52):
Look, I there must have been some kind of handshake
deal between Mom, Donnie and Trump for Trump to come
out in New York faceted endorsement.
Speaker 1 (09:01):
And non endorsement.
Speaker 5 (09:03):
But like, I can't think of a worse thing to
happen to Cuomo than for Donald Trump to come out
last night in this town and say what he said?
Speaker 1 (09:14):
What do you think of that?
Speaker 3 (09:15):
I think it's probably why they waited until now, candidly,
because there's a lot of early voting that's already taken place,
and I suspect that they said, early voting, you made
juice turnout. I don't think most people on election day
are going to be motivated to vote against Trump. I
(09:36):
think Trump's calculus is there might be some people out
there that haven't decided how they're going to vote, and
if it's a close race, that this could swing the difference.
My concern now is Mom, Donnie seems to be rolling
buck and that if he wins over fifty percent, then
all of this was for naught. I mean, to be fair,
(09:56):
it wouldn't have mattered if Curtis Lee what was in.
It wouldn't have mattered how many other candidates were there,
because if he wins over fifty percent, then the majority
of New York voters, and a majority of New York
voters with a huge turnout potentially record are saying, Mam,
Donnie's our guy. Now, Cuomo, I think has run a
(10:16):
poor campaign, but he's actually pointing out something that is
very important.
Speaker 1 (10:21):
Cut sixteen.
Speaker 3 (10:22):
He's saying what Mamdanni is promising to people he doesn't
even have the power to deliver on. And I do
think that that might be beneficial to New York City.
Cut sixteen.
Speaker 6 (10:34):
I called them the TikTok promises that he put forth
in the primary. None of them are real. The mayor
is going to freeze the rent. People think it means
he's going to freeze their rent. No, no, no, no. First
of all, the mayor has no ability to freeze anybody's rent,
no legal ability. It's done by an independent board that
is term appointed, and then it's only for about twenty
five percent of the housing units called the rent stabilized units,
(10:56):
So it will never happen. We're going to have a
government owned the grocery store, one in each borough. We
have sixteen thousand grocery stores. Five grocery stores. Are not
going to make a difference. Free buses. It's not up
to the Mayor's up to the state. State said they're
not going to do it. It's all bs, it's all
campaign rhetoric. None of it will change anybody's life.
Speaker 3 (11:18):
Where was this for the past several months? Cuomo finding
an ability to make the case against Mom Donnie. I
get it, Hey, this is the final a day, the
final hours, but wouldn't this have been helpful back during
the primary. Wouldn't this have been helpful in the last
several months. I just think if Mam Donnie wins, it's
not only a credit to Mom Donnie's personal charisma and
(11:41):
the fact that a lot of people want to believe
in the tooth fairy, so to speak, but it's also
a function of how poor of a job Andrew Cuomo
has done defining the absurdity of the Mam Donnie campaign.
Speaker 2 (11:53):
Well, he has run a terrible campaign. I think there's
even been some admission of that from the Cuomo side
that he has not done. He has been not just inept,
but lazy too. It's certainly in the primary, in the
Democrat primary, he thought he was gonna walk away with this.
Speaker 1 (12:09):
We've seen this happen before New York.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
Remember AOC took out the number three Democrat in terms
of House leadership. I forget the guy's name. That tellsy something,
but he just figured I'm gonna win, didn't campaign, didn't
show up, didn't care, And now we've got AOC running
around saying crazy stuff.
Speaker 1 (12:28):
Mom.
Speaker 2 (12:28):
Donnie was also something of a sleeper candidate here, at
least in the primary, and when he took out Cuomo
was because Cuomo was lazy and thought that he was
kind of entitled to represent the Democrats in the city
of New York. It's looking like it's gonna be Mandani,
but you know, Cuomo could pull something out here.
Speaker 1 (12:47):
At the very end.
Speaker 2 (12:48):
Maybe that's my most hopeful note I can hit on this,
and I'm not even very hopeful.
Speaker 1 (12:52):
Clay Homo's awful. I'm sorry. I know people want to
believe that this would be some huge.
Speaker 2 (12:58):
Metaphorical bullet dodge by New York, and no, I think
Womo is pretty terrible too, So even if he wins,
we got problems in New York.
Speaker 1 (13:07):
We got problems.
Speaker 3 (13:08):
Also important to understand the way media is going to
spin this. I'm looking at CNN right now. Their headline
is voters deliver early report card on Trump presidency. Even
though it's blue state Virginia, even though it's blue state
New Jersey, even though it is deep blue New York City.
(13:28):
They are going to argue if the results are Democrats win,
as they are favored to win, many of these races.
They're going to argue that this is a massive repudiation
of Trump and that Americans regret the decision that they
made a year ago. Just prepare yourselves.
Speaker 2 (13:42):
People vote. Most people vote first and foremost based on
how it makes them feel to cast that vote for
that person, that party, that candidate. So if you can
tap into frustration resentment. Some idea that this is an
(14:03):
effort to check or veto or slow down the Trump administration,
as absurd as that is, it's again the tooth fairy syndrome, right,
this does nothing. Having a communist mayor in New York
does nothing to stop the Trump administration. Really, But if
people feel like it does, you get mom, Donnie, we'll see.
We'll take your calls on this too. Wor listeners, light
(14:25):
us up, tell us what you're hearing and seeing. Unplanned
pregnancies are scary when you're not planning something as huge
as bring another life into this world. There's often that
quote unquote easier choice that is being pushed on young women,
sometimes even by their families or their own partner, and
it can be a very tough moment. But that's why
(14:46):
there are organizations that are out there right now as
I'm speaking to you, that are saving the lives of
tiny babies. This year, preborn clinics save the lives of
sixty seven thousand unborn children by offering pregnant women with
an unplay pregnancy another option. Because when a mom to
be walks into one of those preborn clinics, she's welcome
(15:06):
with open arms. She's introduced to her baby through an ultrasound,
and for the first time, she sees that life so
clearly and has offered so many hope filled choices by
preborn and Preborn will continue with her for up to
two years after the birth of the baby, providing maternity clothes, diapers, counseling,
and so much more. Preborn cares for the whole woman,
(15:27):
her mind, body, and soul and the precious baby growing
inside her. There are hundreds of thousands of mothers to
be in this situation. They need your help. As you're
closing out this year, think about a deductible tax deductible
donation to preborn, which can be the difference between life
and death for a tiny baby in the womb. Using
your cell phone, pound two five zero and say the
(15:48):
keyword baby. That's pound two five zero, say baby, or
visit preborn dot com slash buck. All gifts are tax deductible.
Like I said, Preborn is a five star rated charity.

Saving America One Thought at a time. Clay Travis and
Buck Sex to them. Find them on the free iHeartRadio
app or wherever you get your podcasts.
Speaker 3 (16:15):
Welcome back in Clay Travis Buck Sexton Show. Just to reiterate,
go vote, go vote, go vote down. Ballot matters a
great deal. We talk about New Jersey, we talk about Virginia,
we talk about New York City. But there are a
lot of different mayor votes that are happening. I believe Cincinnati, Detroit,
Prop fifty in California. There are so many different significant
(16:40):
elections that are taking place all over the country. And again,
we want all of you, if you are listening to us,
we would like to have a hundred percent voter rate
for all of you that are eligible all over the country. Minneapolis,
not that they have great options, but there is an
election taking place there as well. Buck, when we were
(17:04):
talking about what's going on in New York City, let
me play this for you. This is a liberal white
woman asked her biggest concerns this is cut three.
Speaker 1 (17:13):
Listen.
Speaker 8 (17:16):
I think what's really important in standing out for me
right now is if we can take ourselves like a
high level like not say immigration, not say economy, not
say all the hot talking points, and just ask ourselves
how are we treating our neighbors? Like how are we
treating one another? And is it okay that yesterday on Saturday,
forty two million of our neighbors no longer can feed themselves?
(17:38):
It is okay? Is it okay that our neighbors are
getting taken off the streets by ice? Is it okay
that gender affirming care is being taken from young people
who really need it to survive? Is it okay that
the Supreme Court has now justified racial profiling. That's not
how I want to treat my neighbor.
Speaker 2 (17:54):
That is woman is the destruction of Western civilization in
one sound book.
Speaker 1 (17:58):
No doubt.
Speaker 3 (18:00):
And look, we want to have some fun with you,
notwithstanding that awfulness, and we'll break down what's going on
in New York City. But you can play prize Picks
all over the country. You can play in California, you
can play in Texas, you can play in Georgia. If
you're feeling left out, you can also play in Florida
where Buck is.
Speaker 1 (18:15):
In New York where I am right now.
Speaker 3 (18:17):
You can play in roughly forty states, and right now,
I'll give you a pick. On Thursday, you can get
hooked up with fifty dollars. All you have to do
is pick more or less on the projections. If you're right,
you could win big. That's prizepicks dot Com. Use code
clay for fifty dollars. You can also download the app.
It is fantastic. It is a lot of fun. It
(18:38):
makes football more fun than it otherwise would be. The
NBA College Basketball has started. Whatever sport you love, price
picks will make it more fun for you. Forty plus states,
fifty bucks when you use code Clay. That's prizepicks dot
Com Code Clay, Hi.
Speaker 2 (18:55):
Welcome back into Clay and Buck. Election Day twenty twenty five,
this year in big races New York City mayor, New
Jersey governor, Virginia governor and Title fifty or Proposition fifty. Sorry,
Proposition fifty out in California. Not forgetting about that, Gavin
Newsom just trying to stack the deck before the midterms.
(19:15):
With a last second redrawing of congressional districts, just trying
to work the refs, just trying to do whatever he
can to throw things toward the Democrats, no matter how slimy.
In fact, the slimier, the more Newsom likes it. You know,
this is really how he prefers things to be. I
(19:37):
would argue, But let's get back into New York here
for a second. We'll talk about those other races, and
we will give you the latest on all of it,
and we will have obviously results to discuss with you tomorrow.
And at this point, you know what the polls are,
the prognostications from across the political class on this stuff.
Speaker 1 (19:56):
We shall see. Over in morning, Joe, I was not
watching live. I will let you know. Disappointing, I understand.
Speaker 3 (20:04):
I saw your boy Trump teed off on your boy
morning Joe. Did you see ripped? How bad his ratings
have gotten this morning? I think this is like bucks
world's colliding. Yeah, Trump went after Morning Joe said his
ratings have collapsed and that he'd loved to see it
something like that.
Speaker 2 (20:20):
Well, I think that without me watching, it's probably noticeable,
you know, I think that over at NBC. They're like,
what happened to that obsessive watcher with that one obsessive
watcher we have in Miami Beach who was during the
election watching so much mourning Joe. But here it is.
Here he is at Joe Scarborough introducing Mom Donnie, and
(20:43):
I want you to hear how he does it.
Speaker 1 (20:44):
Played ten n Mam Donnie joins us. Now the communist
joins us.
Speaker 6 (20:49):
Now, how do you respond to that when somebody comes
up to you, so I can't vote for you because
you're a communist?
Speaker 9 (20:54):
Said, there are reasons you might not want to vote
for me, But let's be honest with my politics. I'm
a democratic socialist, no matter how many times as President
Trump calls me the other one.
Speaker 1 (21:03):
You know, I keep going with this one.
Speaker 2 (21:06):
Mom Donnie also again on this democratic socialism not communist,
and this is cut eleven.
Speaker 1 (21:11):
Listen to this one.
Speaker 6 (21:13):
What is the difference between it a democrat, a democratic socialist,
and a communist.
Speaker 9 (21:18):
Well, I'm a democratic socialist who's also a democrat, right,
And when I say I'm a democratic socialist, I explain
it in the words of doctor King from decades ago,
who said that call it democracy or call it democratic socialism.
There must be a better distribution of wealth for all
of God's children in this country, right. And what I
actually find is that when you're speaking to New Yorkers,
they ask you less how you describe your politics and
(21:39):
more whether there's room for them in that politics. And
New Yorkers are asking me, does your politics have room
for my struggle to afford my rent, my childcare, my groceries.
And frankly, President Trump ran an entire campaign focusing on
the cost of living, focusing on the promise of cheaper groceries,
and his inability to do so is now making him
increasingly desperate to try and stop the cam and pain
(22:00):
that will actually deliver on the same diagnosis that he shared.
Speaker 1 (22:04):
I just want to I want to go on the
record here.
Speaker 2 (22:05):
What Cuomo said about how Mam Donnie is not going
to make any of these things happen is true. And
a year from now, guarantee, I'm gonna guarantee this isn't
in a bridge. This is a guarantee. A year from now,
you and I Clay will be sitting here and saying, Hey,
guess what. Housing isn't cheaper in New York. Food isn't cheaper.
Speaker 1 (22:23):
In New York.
Speaker 2 (22:24):
There's no there's no change to standards of live If anything,
it's going to be more expensive.
Speaker 1 (22:31):
That's the part of this. The people don't understand.
Speaker 2 (22:33):
If anything, if Mamdannie gets his way, is going to
drive up costs because fundamentally, you hear the way this
guy talks. He's appealing to emotions, removing accountability for the
people that he's appealing to, and making promises about things
that he fundamentally does not understand. He does not understand
(22:55):
the market mechanisms that lead to the price of rent,
the price of food in New York.
Speaker 1 (23:02):
He is an.
Speaker 2 (23:02):
Ignoramus with a silver tongue. I think that's very well said.
Speaker 3 (23:07):
I would also point out this morning I was checking
out Eric adams twitter feed, new York City's current mayor.
Clearly I had a lot of time to do prep.
But New York Today yesterday announced that they had record
low shooting incidents and shooting victims for the first ten
(23:27):
months of the year and in October so record low,
and murders have declined by almost half compared to last year.
Eighteen murders in New York City in October compared to
thirty five last year lowest level of shootings and lowest
level of murders. I know Eric Adams is not on
(23:49):
the ballot anymore, but the one thing Eric Adams ran
on was that he would make New York safer. And
certainly the numbers were awful in twenty twenty and twenty
twenty one, but thanks to Jessica Tish's work and the
focus of Mayor Eric Adams, there's actually decent numbers coming
in on safety. And I think this is starting to
(24:11):
happen nationwide because Democrats have just finally repudiated the defund
the police narrative. But I do think this is one
area buck where Mam Donnie might say, Hey, I'm gonna
make buses free, and I'm gonna fix your rent and
you're gonna pay a lot less. And as Andrew Cuomo said,
you cannot do anything there. The one thing that he
can definitely do is make New York less safe. And
(24:34):
I am desperately concerned based on his rhetoric that that
is the one area which is probably the most important
when it comes to what your mayor can do that
people of New York are convinced can continue to improve
that Mam Donnie is likely to make worse. So we
can talk about things he can't do, but he can
(24:55):
certainly make this city a lot more dangerous than it
is right now.
Speaker 2 (25:00):
You see the ways that New York got worse, and
it was really an unholy alliance between these nonprofits that exist.
They're kind of there's the I think there's the ny
c LU, like the it's a version of the ACLU,
but it's for New York City. They have these nonprofits
(25:23):
that sue on behalf of justice and equity that make
it impossible to prosecute people in the city of New York.
And I had a friend who was in the Prosecutor's
office in New York, in the DA's office, who said
that one of the things that they'll do is they
just they just keep on flooding the system with uh
with challenges to process, so that by the time you're
(25:46):
actually able to bring cases against people, your resources in
the DA's office are depleted and you have to just
pick and choose only the most severe cases, because even
when you have someone who's arrested thirty times, you don't
have the manpower, the actual manpower, the hours to have
somebody show up in court or have somebody deal with
him and all that stuff. So the prosecutor's off is
(26:09):
a huge problem. Alvin Bragg is a huge problem, and
that has been something that New York City has suffered from.
I think substantially the numbers go to that, but also
with someone like Mamdani when he says something like we
want to make buses free. Everyone knew right away, remember Clay,
when there was that whole thing of like, oh there
(26:30):
was racism at Starbucks because somebody asked somebody if they
actually were buying a cup of coffee or something. And
then Starbucks had this policy, this was years and years ago,
of all right, you don't even have to buy coffee,
you can just use our bathrooms. And you know what
happened to everybody? The Starbucks bathrooms became disgusting. Okay, they
became absolute Petrie dishes of all the the you know,
(26:51):
all the gross things that you managed to bring together
are just you know, on the floor, on the walls.
Speaker 1 (26:56):
It was disgusting, okay.
Speaker 2 (26:57):
And anyone who's been in a Starbucks in a major
city has seen this and they realized, oh wait, we've
made a mistake here. We've just created effectively drug use
and like temporary homeless shelters that mom Donnie thinks that
a free bus system in the city of New York
is going to make people safer because the people who
are arguing with whether they pay the fare are somehow
(27:20):
not now going to be on the bus.
Speaker 1 (27:22):
They're just going to be on the bus robbing people,
no doubt.
Speaker 3 (27:25):
And this is also a great example of how you
can make a decision that makes people happy on social
media and it's actually the worst decision for your brand,
because the Starbucks one is a great example. They decided
because a couple of black guys were sitting in a
Starbucks for too long and said they were forced out
(27:45):
because it was racist, that they basically would never ever
force people out of Starbucks again, and everybody could use
the bathrooms, and homeless people just flooded Starbucks.
Speaker 1 (27:57):
The business collapsed because no, he.
Speaker 3 (28:00):
Wants to go into a coffee shop that's filled with vagrants.
And to your point, Buck, the buses are just going
to get worse because when the weather's bad, homeless people
are just gonna get on the buses and never get off.
They're just gonna sit on there all the time. Do
you want to be in that filth and refuse.
Speaker 2 (28:16):
Can I just tell you it was twenty eighteen. I
looked this up. It was twenty eighteen and Starbucks did
this thing where they said, you can, you don't have to,
you can be in our face. So you basically have
created a homeless shelter, because remember these when you say homeless,
it's not even really you're talking about people who are
in many cases drug addicted or severely mentally ill, or
(28:38):
accommodation thereof, who choose to live on the streets. They
do not want to be in a shelter. They choose
to live in the streets, and they just go from
one sort of place where they can spend time and
usually do drugs to another. Starbucks found this out the
hard way. Everybody knew this when Starbucks did this, but
they're like, oh my gosh, we are so scared of racism.
Speaker 1 (29:01):
And in twenty eighteen, guess what.
Speaker 2 (29:02):
In twenty twenty five, beginning of this year, they officially
reversed the policy because it was so destructive.
Speaker 3 (29:07):
And what happened was they had guys at of Philadelphia's
Starbucks I think, who were asking to use the bathroom
without buying anything, and they basically said, hey, policy is
bathrooms are for customers, which is almost policy everywhere right
in any for profit business. And the guy said, oh,
(29:28):
this was because of racism. So then because they were
getting accused of racism, Starbucks just said anybody can use
our bathrooms, including you know, people who are not customers
at all, and the whole business collapsed because they rejected
the policy that had worked for decades in order to
try to make people happier on social media and oftentimes
(29:50):
the best lesson for controversy is do less. Bud Light,
do less, Cracker Barrel, do less. Just don't try and
appealed to an audience that is in no way. I
mean when you look at the trans beer issue, when
you look at Cracker Barrel.
Speaker 1 (30:07):
Who came up if it ain't broke, don't fix it.
That's a good one. Yeah, that's a very good That's
an old, old school one. Yes. I actually learned that
one from.
Speaker 2 (30:16):
Beauty and the Beast, and it was a play on
words because he said, if it ain't broke, don't fix it.
Speaker 1 (30:22):
You remember that one? Oh yeah, I do?
Speaker 10 (30:23):
Did?
Speaker 1 (30:23):
I just got too nerdy for you.
Speaker 3 (30:25):
Beauty and Beast is great. I mean that was during
the Aladdin era. They put together a lot of good
but Disney was making good movies, making good movies.
Speaker 2 (30:32):
It's something crazy just appealed to everybody, don't I saw.
I saw our friend Ben Dominic, who I've known now again,
I like to play this game, so it reminds me
how old I am. I think I've known Ben almost
fifteen years now.
Speaker 1 (30:43):
Yep.
Speaker 2 (30:43):
We started in the business around the same time. There
was like a whole crop of us doing stuff. At
the Blaze, he put out that I think it was
the lowest box office receipts over Halloween is usually horror movies,
and you know, people get all the lowest box office
receipts going into Halloween for that weekend in almost thirty
years and there were no new released, wide release movies.
(31:05):
The movie industry is is just on its ass, which
if you had told me this was possible twenty years ago,
when movies were the dominant American and global art of
like American movies were the dominant global form of entertainment
as well as here here at home. And now it's
maybe you get like one new movie every few months
(31:28):
on one of your streaming services.
Speaker 1 (31:29):
That's just okay.
Speaker 3 (31:30):
Yeah, And It's really disappointing because it's funny you mentioned
Beauty and the Beast, but Aladdin, the Pirates of the
Caribbean movies, and certainly for us when we were kids,
the Indiana Jones movie Star Wars, all those things. It
used to be such a badge of honor to try
to make a movie that could appeal to everyone. And
it doesn't even feel as if anyone tries to do
(31:52):
that anymore.
Speaker 1 (31:53):
Right, Well, it used to be.
Speaker 2 (31:54):
It used to be a cultural touchstone too. You would
be like, have you seen Yes, remember when you would
say to people, oh, have you seen the latest?
Speaker 1 (32:01):
Have you seen the Batman movie? Have you seen the
Pirates the Caribbee?
Speaker 2 (32:05):
Have you seen et? I mean, you know whatever it is?
And now you don't even have those conversations anymore.
Speaker 1 (32:11):
I think it's moved to sports.
Speaker 3 (32:12):
Buck, You're gonna have to come back in hardcore on
sports fandom because I think the number of things that
people share is actually dwindled, and there's a desperate want
to have that connection across across backgrounds with a shared experience.
I really think that's gonna happen with the Live pro.
Speaker 2 (32:31):
Maybe Mom Donnie can promise that we're gonna start making
good Tommy mom. Donnie is like, we're gonna start making
great movies again too. Just because he says so. I mean,
maybe at least that would be fun to vote for him.
It's not gonna happen.
Speaker 3 (32:41):
At least it's an aspirational goal that would make destroy
the country. Anti Semitism, speaking of destroying the country, is
on the rise. It's been for the past couple of years.
As you guys know, not just around the world, but
right here in this country too. Jewish schools, targeted, synagogues,
threatened silences, and an option. It's time take a stand
on the side good against evil. International Fellowship of Christians

work that they do with the IFCJ when I was
in Israel last year. Your gift of forty five dollars

and Buck Sexton. Find them on the free iHeartRadio app
or wherever you get your podcasts.
Speaker 3 (34:08):
Welcome back in Clay Travis Buck Sexton Show. I'm gonna
talk about it again. Please go buy my book Balls.
I don't ask for a lot, I'm asking you to
help me sell a bunch of balls. It's everywhere. We're
gonna take some of your calls here. Today is booker
release Day. It is in bookstores everywhere. You can buy
it on Amazon. Drive me up. I would love to
(34:30):
be on the bestseller list. Make the New York Times
put me there. I don't know if they ever will.
Let's go to some of your calls. Jesse in Manhattan.
What you got Jesse.
Speaker 10 (34:38):
Gentlemen, great show, and I voted in New York City today,
but I got to tell people they're a ballot initiat
initiatives on that ballot. They got to vote no on
all six of those ballots because three of them, boots, two, three,
and four give to Maya all the power to develop
real estate now with neighborhoods, and we will be able
to stop it. You have a lunatic Maya. He's gonna
(34:59):
put a housing project and homeless shelter in your neighborhood.
And it's that's what Man Danny would want to do.
And I'm just urging everybody to get out there. They're
breaking records. They're gonna go over two million votes today,
which would be a record, well not really a record,
but for the first time maybe in fifty years or something.
And I'm really glad people are voting. They got to
stop Man Danny the Communist. But listen, let's face it,
(35:20):
this is the pullout from the sixty five Immigration Act.
Anyone who says it just a come here legally should
wear a dunce cap when they vote today. And you
know that's just the way. There's no one will six bollots.
Speaker 1 (35:31):
Guys, thanks Jesse and Manhattan. Sean in Queens. What you
got for Sean?
Speaker 11 (35:37):
Hey, what's so guys?
Speaker 12 (35:39):
Hopefully go to steal look and pull for a miracle
on thirty fourth Street.
Speaker 1 (35:42):
It's not.
Speaker 12 (35:44):
Maybe Cuomo will save the city. But I think we
got a room as a party. Does I think we
had the president telling us to back Cuomo, who is
a worse Democrat than Eric Adams ever was.
Speaker 2 (35:58):
I don't disagree. Thank you, that's true. Thank you for
the call. I mean, when we do one quick one here? Yeah,
David and Nantucket. Are you calling us from your schooner?
Speaker 11 (36:07):
Oh no, hey, guys, just you don't have to look far.
See what free buses do. A couple of years ago,
I was in Seattle. I saw a local news story.
The homeless drug addicts or smoking fentanyl on an open
piece of tinfoil, and because they can't do it in
the wind, they on the buses. People were being overcome.
An old woman had to get rushed to the hospital
(36:28):
because she was overcome with fentanyl fumes. A driver actually
gotten a crash because he had and a reaction to
overdous And they have done nothing. So this is what
free everything does.
Speaker 2 (36:39):
Oh yeah, now, free. Everything is a prison for everyone else, actually,
but that's a whole other part of this conversation. Clay,
where are you taking us next?
Speaker 1 (36:47):
Buddy? Including bus drivers? Buck?
Speaker 3 (36:49):
Can you imagine how awful this is. We'll dive more
into Virginia and New Jersey next
