In Hour 1, Clay and Buck break down the major political headlines following a pivotal election night. The discussion opens with Zohran Mamdani’s historic win in New York City, where he captured just over 50% of the vote in one of the city’s highest-turnout elections in decades. The hosts analyze why Mamdani’s campaign resonated, citing his energy, entertainment factor, and ability to mobilize younger voters and recent arrivals to the city. They highlight demographic trends, including Mamdani’s overwhelming support among Black voters and strong backing from millennials, Hispanics, and Asians.
The conversation then shifts to Democratic victories in Virginia and New Jersey, emphasizing the GOP’s turnout problem. Clay points out that 600,000 Trump voters stayed home in these states compared to the 2024 presidential election, raising alarms for 2026 and 2028. Buck underscores that while these were tough races in blue-leaning states, Republicans must address enthusiasm gaps when Trump isn’t on the ballot.
Economic concerns dominate the analysis, with both hosts stressing that inflation, cost of living, and healthcare remain the top issues for voters nationwide. They argue that Democrats successfully framed the election around cultural and class warfare, while Republicans need sharper messaging on kitchen-table economics. The hour also dives into immigration and cultural shifts in urban politics, warning that rapid demographic changes and lack of assimilation are reshaping cities like New York. Clay and Buck compare today’s dynamics to early 20th-century socialist movements and call for a national conversation on immigration policy.
Listeners weigh in with calls from Houston, Charleston, and Staten Island, sharing reactions and relocation plans to red states like Florida and Texas. The hosts note a surge in interest for real estate in these states following the election results. Gender voting patterns also come under scrutiny, with women identified as a decisive factor in Democratic wins.
Finally, Clay and Buck reflect on Trump’s surprise endorsement of Andrew Cuomo, the future of the MAGA movement, and whether Mamdani’s tenure will disappoint progressive voters. They predict that despite campaign promises, New York City’s new mayor will likely triple down on redistribution and regulation, worsening economic challenges.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome.
Speaker 2 (00:01):
In Wednesday edition Clay Travis buck Sexton Show, the sun
is in fact up after a dark night, and I'm
in New York City and it is certainly a very
dark morning in New York City. We will dive into,
(00:22):
as you might well imagine, Mam Donnie's huge win, the
wins in New Jersey and in Virginia for the Democrat candidates.
It is the one year anniversary of Trump's big win.
And certainly the Democrats who hate Trump, well, they have
not stopped hating Trump. And to me, Buck, there are
(00:45):
two big takeaways that I have and then I'm curious
whether you co sign or whether you have different takeaways.
And to me, let's start with New York City. This
is not an upset. Mam Donnie won a majority of
the vote in one of the highest turnout elections that
New York City has seen in most of the listeners'
(01:08):
lives out there, So all of our WR people open
phone lines. By the way, producer Greg will open them.
If all of you, Curtis Slee whata people would like
to call in and apologize to me for correctly pointing
out that he had zero percent chance of winning and
that Honestly, I do think if he had dropped out
earlier and it had been a Cuomo against Mom Donnie
(01:30):
straight up election, I think that Cuomo may have been
able to win. The latest numbers that I saw Buck,
unless more have come in, is that Mam Donnie won
right around fifty four point four percent of the vote,
that is just barely over a majority, and that the
rest was split between SLIWA and so New York City.
Starting there, what was your take? My biggest take is like,
(01:52):
this is what New York wanted. The polls were all correct.
Speaker 3 (01:57):
Let's take a moment because we get a lot of of, oh,
you can't trust the polls, you can't know. The polls
were pretty much spot on the people that were leading
all one, and the margins were more or less what
was expected. Virginia might have been a little bigger than expected,
but look, we lost the governor's mansion in Virginia. We lost, well,
(02:18):
we didn't win the contest for the governor's mansion. In
New Jersey. We've got a communist mayor of New York
City Inbound Clay. I am wearing Soviet Union red today
in solidarity with Comrade Zoran. But the political consensus, the
wisdom of the chattering class, whatever you want to call it,
(02:40):
was locked in correct. And everything that we told you
to be fair was also correct.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
None of this.
Speaker 3 (02:47):
I was hopeful that maybe we would steal something from
New Jersey, but we didn't.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
So it was not a strong night.
Speaker 3 (02:55):
Look, these are very tough races in very tough spaces
for not just a Republican but for sanity. This is
like the heart of darkness. When you're talking about New
York City, you're talking about you know, the northern part
of Virginia, which now dominates the state. Clay I will say,
and we're going to get into the demographic data too
here that also completely aligned with what we thought. If
(03:19):
you thought some group was going to vote Mam Donnie,
they did. By the way, Mom Donnie got over ninety
percent of the black vote, something that was not talked
about very much in advance of the election. So that
was the single strongest demographic for Mom Donnie. But there
are many you know, young women, Millennials, Hispanics, Asians. There's
(03:41):
all these breakdowns of the data we'll see, Clay, I
think that at the biggest level, at the thirty thousand
foot view, This is a reminder that economics is still
the dominant political issue in America. Wherever you are, people
are worried about price, They're worried about cost of living.
(04:01):
They're worried about their future and their children's future, or
even their ability to have children because of the future
that they see, and the political party that addresses that
with more a plum, not just more accuracy. Zoran was
more fun than the other guys. Yeah, he's a communist,
He's gonna ruin New York. We all get that, right,
(04:23):
But Clay who was more entertaining, who was more engaging,
who seemed like he wanted it more?
Speaker 1 (04:28):
It's not even close. Cuomo barely showed up.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
New York City's in trouble with Mom Donnie, but they
voted for him for sure. The turnout was huge. Here's
what I would say about Virginia and New Jersey, and
I think this is where not only do we look
at the results, but we have to spin it forward
and we have to do it honestly. Trump got more
votes in New Jersey and in Virginia last year than
(04:55):
either of the winning candidates did Mickey Cheryl or spam Berger. Okay,
why do I say that, yes it was a presidential election,
Yes it's an off year election, but that always happens.
In New Jersey in Virginia, six hundred thousand Trump voters,
Buck did not show up and vote in both New
(05:16):
Jersey and in Virginia. Six hundred thousand. Some of you
are listening to us right now, and you didn't go vote,
even though we change you to go vote.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
Okay, shame.
Speaker 2 (05:30):
What does that mean going forward? The people buck who
hate Trump, they show up, their brains are broken. They
will show up at a school board vote because they
hate Trump. The people who love Trump, they don't show
up when Trump's not on the ballot. And so that
is ominous for twenty twenty six, and candidly it's ominous
(05:54):
for twenty twenty eight, which is why I have told
you the pivot is coming very soon to Trump's voters
won't show up in twenty eight. And they're gonna say
Trump's voters won't show up in twenty six. And that
is to me, the biggest, most impactful thing about what
happened last night. Six hundred thousand people less showed up
(06:17):
in New Jersey and Virginia. It wasn't that somehow these
Democrats won and turned out unbelievable numbers.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
The numbers in New York City were unbelievable, and they
were good.
Speaker 3 (06:27):
I mean, they actually did do a good job of turnout,
I think in New York particularly, but in New York City.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
But that's why I said, it's two different takes. New
York City, they said, we want Commie Mom, Donnie, he's
our guy. We are excited to go to the polls
and make this guy the next mayor. You said, it's
because he's exciting. I mean, I think that he ran.
I think you got to give him credit. A great
campaign and he delivered based on an awful, awful pitch
(06:52):
reality wise, But in New Jersey and Virginia, the biggest
story to me is Trump's people didn't show up.
Speaker 3 (06:58):
There is a fundamental reality that the GOP is going
to have to address. Look, this is an off year election.
This was Democrat home turf really across the board. I mean,
Virginia is.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
A purple blue state.
Speaker 3 (07:13):
I know we had that that nice, that nice off
year win before with youngkin win. Some Seers seems like
a wonderful lady and a just a very good person,
a completely unmemorable campaign not to be mean. I think
she's very impressive and I obviously would have voted for
(07:33):
her to live in Virginia, but just not a campaigner.
You know, you can be a good leader, you can
be a good decider, but not really a campaigner. Zorn
is kind of funny, Clay, He's the opposite. Zoran created
a show. Zorn remembered the lessons of Saul Alinsky. Go
back and read Rules for Radicals. Everybody Alyinsky there was.
(07:54):
There is an evil brilliance to so much that is
in that book. One of the things is make it fun,
Make it an activity. Make activism something people want to
show up to because they'll feel cool and they'll laugh
and they'll be with their friends. And Zoran manage to
do that. Now Trump has had that same effect on
(08:16):
the right. Trump is both a political and a cultural phenomenon.
People show up with their MAGA hats, People show up
feeling like they are part of something. The big question
for twenty eight, more so even than twenty six, I
think Clay, is how does the MAGA movement coalesce around
(08:36):
an air apparent? How does Trump play into that? And
this is gonna be something we talk a lot about
in the next year. But in the meantime the economy,
and that means healthcare, that means inflation, the cost of rent,
the cost of groceries, the cost of everything. You gotta
have messaging on this everyone or else, the commedies will
be in charge.
Speaker 2 (08:56):
Here is a funny tweet on this, because we are
going to try to have some hue because sometimes you
get your ask, you have to have a little bit
of you have to have a little bit of black
sense of humor, right, a dark sense of humor.
Speaker 1 (09:07):
I told my parents, just make sure that go bags
are by the front door. I'm here in Florida. If
you know where to go, they're fine.
Speaker 2 (09:13):
Brad Chadlington, I don't know who he is, but I
saw this and I thought it was so funny. The richest, whitest,
most sheltered girl you know, from the wealthiest suburb in
the country is posting a picture of zorn mom Donnie
on her story right now, captioned power to the people
from her soho apartment that's paid for by her wealthy
(09:34):
conservative father. There is a lot of truth to this,
because the more recently you arrived in New York City,
I saw a breakdown based on length of time that
people have lived in New York City, the more likely
you were to vote for Mom Donnie overwhelming majority.
Speaker 1 (09:54):
I think it was eighty two percent.
Speaker 2 (09:55):
I saw of people that have gotten to New York
City in the last decade.
Speaker 4 (09:59):
Now.
Speaker 2 (09:59):
A lot of those or immigrants, right, which is a
whole big discussion in general. But a lot of those
people are actually just young college kids like the girl
probably that I just described.
Speaker 3 (10:10):
Well, we all we got to slow immigration down in general.
There's another conversation that ever needs to have. If you
have the largest city in America with being largely determined
its future being determined by people who have been in
America for only a couple of years, that's that's a problem.
That's actually not what you want. No other country would
allow that. Yeah, I know the worst. We've been brainwashed
(10:32):
to believe, but that's all you know, if you just
came across the border, even if you're illegal, you're as
American as everybody who's ever been here, and even if
for families been here for generations. That is not true. Uh,
And we have to have a discussion about that as well.
We're good, we've had a lot of immigration, you know,
We've had a lot of legal immigration, a lot of
illegal immigration. It's time, it's time to tighten up some
(10:52):
of these numbers a little bit and let assimilation and
Americanism and Americanizing take place for everybody. It can't just
be this wide open door and you get people coming
here from all over the world who are saying, you
know what I want, communism.
Speaker 1 (11:06):
That's not good.
Speaker 3 (11:06):
That's not going to help us very much here by
the country went through this before the city of Chicago,
in particular Clay right around the turn of the twentieth century,
there were all kinds of commedis and socialists and anarchists
who were showing up and it was a real concern.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
Then.
Speaker 2 (11:18):
The biggest issue I would say with illegal immigration and
immigration now is back in the day when we had
you know where I am right now in New York City,
huge Irish populations, huge Italian populations, huge numbers of immigrants.
A lot of them still came from a Western civilization
(11:39):
culture that recognized that Western civilization. And yes, Christianity, although
it might have been Catholic. Remember the big battle there
was between Protestants and Catholics.
Speaker 1 (11:49):
There was a common floor of agreement on some level.
A lot of people coming now, which is certainly incredibly ironic.
Are our youing America is an awful place? Oh oh,
and American's history is awful.
Speaker 3 (12:05):
And this will I think it's even worse Clay because
there's also this is a spoils system that people now arrive.
And you see this in Minneapolis, and you see this
in New York, and you see this in cities where
there is a particularly increasingly obvious tribal, newly arrived political attitude. Yes,
like I have arrived. I'm going to vote as a
(12:27):
voting block to dispossess the natives, the ones who have
been here. And by the way, to be very clear,
that's all Americans. That's white, Black, Asian, Latino. But it's
people that were born here, people that were raised here,
people that are American. There's now the new arrivals that
are saying, why do I even have to Why don't
I even have to conform? I don't have to learn
English even or do any of this stuff. I'm just
(12:48):
going to stay with my voting block here, do you see.
By the way, if you want to look at a
version of this, Sweden, the Netherlands, they've got big problems
because people show up and they say, I just want
the welfare state, and I'm going to have nothing to
do with your culture and your society. Now, look, there's
a very complicated, broad discussion with a lot of things
going on, but in New York it is very stark.
(13:12):
People who are college educated and young who have been brainwashed.
I will just say it, they have been brainwashed.
Speaker 1 (13:17):
They do not know.
Speaker 3 (13:19):
The other problem on this, though, is they are getting
screwed by not having assets because of the inflationary policies
of both Democrats and Republicans and the way that we've
created a system that unfortunately is intergenerational theft. No one
wants to hear that, but it's true. Thirty seven trillion
dollars of debt. This is a problem. We do actually
(13:40):
have to deal with this. So there's a lot a
lot of lessons I think you can take from this,
but there's nothing dire here. It's an off year election.
We expected all these results play.
Speaker 2 (13:51):
We told people that these results were coming, and a
lot of people out there said, I.
Speaker 1 (13:56):
Don't believe the polls.
Speaker 2 (13:57):
Remember Hillary Clay, You're the reason Slee was gonna win.
When I said, okay, I'll wear a beret for like,
he got seven and a half percent of the vote,
seven and a half percent of vote. I think I
could have gotten seven and a half percent of the vote, honestly.
I mean, you know, I think you would have gotten
more than seven and a half percent of the vote.
Speaker 3 (14:14):
So, you know, a native son of New York formerly
of the NYPD's got some got decent hair. No beret,
but decent hair. H Yeah, it was not a good
showing for sleeve. Well, you fled the city just in time.
By the way, a lot of people are gonna say buck,
you know, yeah, got out. I mean I'm actually I'm
actually closing on a Florida property today, an investment.
Speaker 2 (14:34):
So I've been told we could have some fun with
this too. Real estate agents legitimately in Florida and Tennessee
and Texas are being flooded with calls right now.
Speaker 1 (14:45):
I wonder is that really.
Speaker 2 (14:46):
I'm gonna send some messages out because everybody in Florida
has a real estate license, so I'm gonna ask them,
my buddies, it is.
Speaker 1 (14:51):
One hundred percent real.
Speaker 2 (14:52):
Now people may not act on it, but there's a
lot of people waking up in New York.
Speaker 1 (14:55):
This morning, saying this is.
Speaker 2 (14:57):
Just they went through COVID, they dealt with all of
the things that had to do with Eric Adams, but
this is much worse.
Speaker 3 (15:07):
Home burglaries and invasions the last thing you want to
contend with in your own home, and unfortunately happens more
than you'd think about every thirty seconds nationwide. And look,
there are some places where we're seeing crime reductions and
that's great, and Trump has played a big role in that,
but a lot of other places where burglaries are on
the rise, and honestly, it can just happen even in
safe neighborhood, safe areas. So are you prepared to protect

so good. Find them on the free iHeartRadio app or
wherever you get your podcast.
Speaker 1 (16:23):
Welcome back into Clay and Buck.
Speaker 3 (16:24):
Obviously, election day results to talk about here, and we're
gonna dive into more of that.
Speaker 1 (16:29):
Take a lot of your calls.
Speaker 3 (16:30):
Let's hear from you in New York, New Jersey, and
particularly Virginia voters out there. I want to hear about
how it feels for all of you, a little bit
of a special special focus here on the New York
City individuals, because New Jersey is not gonna change, you know,
a Miikey Cheryl. It's gonna be business as usual. Unfortunately
in the Garden State that would have been a nice one.
But uh yeah, there's that. Uh you know, maybe you
(16:54):
should rally should have called in like he was supposed to.
I don't know what to tell you what have helped,
But here we have. Oh one thing that was sad
for me. Let you know there was one spot on
the map for Sliwa. One spot on the map for Sliwa.
That was a Sliwa win. When I went to bed
last night, broad Channel way out in Brooklyn by fall
(17:15):
Rock away the island of broad Channel. I went to
bed thinking Sliwa was the king of broad Channel Clay.
Speaker 2 (17:24):
And then Cuomo pulled it out of his hands at
like three in the morning as the results were being tallied.
Speaker 1 (17:29):
I felt bad for him. In Sleewa, I was like,
at least he's got broad Channel.
Speaker 2 (17:33):
We will take your calls and we come back eight
hundred and two two two eight a two. You can
also send your talk back apologies to me for being
completely right about everything I said in New York City,
uh in the mayor's race, including people who called me
mean names. I would like for you to send us
talkbacks and acknowledge that I was right and you were wrong.
I'm sure that's coming. In the meantime, I'm right about
(17:54):
this too. Cozy Earth is incredible. Once we love Cozy
Earth sheets, once you sleep on him, you'll under stand why.
Incredibly soft, lightweight, also moisture wicking so you never overheat.
They have come backed by one hundred night sleep trial,
money back guarantee and a ten year warranty. That's just
one of the many great Cozy Earth products out there.
(18:15):
Cozy Earth also has cozy clothes too. Producer Ali is
wearing a cashmere cardigan, oh and getting another one for
her mom. I'm in the studio in New York City.
She might need that cashmere cardigan because I think that
Zoron Mamdanni is going to seize it because it is
too nice and he wants to seize all methods of opulence.
(18:38):
Right now, sale is on at cozyearth dot com. Use
my name Clay as your promo code. Top of the state,
what site wide sale forty percent off go to cozyearth
dot com right now, my name Clay for forty percent off.
That's cozyearth dot com, Clay for forty percent off. We
are talking their results from Virginia, New Jersey, New York
City and beyond. A lot of you want to weigh
(19:01):
in and we will take a bunch of your calls here.
Jason in Houston, Buck I don't know what the reaction
has been among your friends in Florida, but I was
tweeting last night and I saw I just I'm catching
up with Twitter. I saw that you responded to Tommy
Larin being upset with me for telling people in New York, Hey,
(19:22):
come on down to Tennessee, come on down to Texas,
come on down to Florida if you are successful and
just fed up with everything around you. Tommy is like, no,
we don't want any of these people here. And then
you pointed out that Florida has a lot of dangers,
and so you wanted everyone to be hire.
Speaker 3 (19:42):
I'm fine with the sane and decent people of New
York who have had enough going to another red state.
It's just Florida's gotten a little crowded since I arrived
a few years ago, and we have sharks and alligant.
So for the safety of all involved, I think, go out.
There's all this land. I've driven around Nashville outside the
(20:04):
city limits. There's all this land there. Just start building there.
You're gonna love it. It's gonna be great.
Speaker 2 (20:09):
Let me also point this out more seriously for any
of you out there that have bought into this craziness
that Jewish people run the country right now and they
make every decision. Let me just point this out. The
biggest population of Jews in America is in New York City,
and New York City just elected a mayor that hates them.
(20:31):
So if the Jewish people were so all powerful with.
Speaker 3 (20:35):
The help of some Jewish voters, I might have, by
the way, substantial We'll see what those that data actually
looks like.
Speaker 1 (20:41):
But Mamdani one.
Speaker 3 (20:42):
The very heavily Jewish Upper West Side of Manhattan by
a lot.
Speaker 1 (20:47):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (20:48):
So, and look, I mean it's a dark thing to
think about, but twenty fifth anniversary of nine to eleven,
the mayor of New York City is now going to
be Muslim. I don't know how those ceremonies are going
to go. And certainly there are peace loving members of
the Muslim community. But I think if you had told
(21:11):
people in New York in two thousand and one, hey,
on the twenty fifth anniversary of nine to eleven, there
will be a Muslim mayor of New York City, I
think a lot of them would have told you that
that is crazy. In the immediate aftermath of nine to eleven,
I would also point out that it disproves the arguments
that Mamdani used to get elected, which is that New
Yorkers are hugely racist and religious bigots.
Speaker 3 (21:33):
Islamophobic is the one that which is. As I've always said,
nine to eleven was one of the greatest testament, the
aftermath of nine to eleven greatest testaments to the character
and tolerance of the American people, because there was no
real Islamophobia. You know, they can talk about like, oh,
someone said something mean to somebody with a headscarf. A
lot of people say a lot of mean things to
people every day for a lot of reasons. Okay, that's
(21:55):
not a hate crime that we all have to sit
out and cry about. But that wasn't even really happening
in the way they were pretending anyway. Not even this
was this was a class and socialism and Marxism election.
It really was more that I think than anything in
New York City, that than anything else.
Speaker 1 (22:13):
Uh. And then in the in the.
Speaker 3 (22:15):
Democrat precincts in Virginia, Clay Look, DC is a one
is a one industry town government in all its formations
and permutations, and the Republicans came in and they've been
cutting jobs and they've got doge. And let me tell you,
there are a lot of very unhappy Now. There's really
(22:37):
two Virginia, just like there's a lot there's a lot
of this in other states.
Speaker 1 (22:40):
Right.
Speaker 3 (22:40):
There's the Virginia that is essentially overflow from the District
of Columbia, which is a big chunk of suburb, right,
just a big suburb of DC. And then there's the
Virginia that some of you live in who are listening.
That's just like read and you're listening to this show,
and we all get you know, we all get the vibe.
Speaker 1 (23:01):
Right.
Speaker 3 (23:03):
Unfortunately, there's so many people in that northern part and
the job the jobs cutting, and the anxiety over over
the government shutdown turnout what's huge, and that would be
very difficult for any Republican to overcome.
Speaker 2 (23:18):
And we told you that they were using that for
their political benefit. And I bet we'll get it into
the shutdown sooner rather than later. Jason and Houston, what
you got for us?
Speaker 6 (23:29):
Hey, I just want to promote my city here. I've
lived in Houston for fifty years. I love it. And
any of you, even New York want to come down
here and think you're going to lose something you're not.
We have a world class symphony, world class opera, ballet,
theater seats.
Speaker 2 (23:45):
So you you, Jason, I appreciate Houston is a great place.
You want angry New Yorkers who vote read you're welcoming
them down to the lone star state into Houston in particular.
Speaker 6 (23:58):
Oh yeah, Houston's a great place to live. And it
is so underrated by people who've never been here. I mean,
we have so much to off and we got lots
of great restaurants as far as econot. A lot of
people don't know this. You know what the second largest
industry in Houston is.
Speaker 1 (24:15):
And energy makes sense.
Speaker 6 (24:19):
Rodeo medicine, medicine I should.
Speaker 1 (24:23):
Have gotten you have the Mt. Anderson Complex. Thank you
for the call.
Speaker 3 (24:29):
Is I'm gonna say, I don't want to I'm not
trying to offend anybody elsewhere in Texas. I I'm more
a Houston person than a Dallas person. And I've spent
a lot of time in the Dallas area, but I'm
I'm Houston's more my my scene actually, So I.
Speaker 1 (24:41):
I like Houston a lot.
Speaker 3 (24:42):
I think the food when when I've gone to restaurants
in Houston that Houstonians have said the food's really good.
Even as a food snob New Yorker, I have to
be like, yes, your food is very good. So that's
always a big tell for me.
Speaker 2 (24:55):
Bonnie in Charleston, South Carolina, Bonnie, thanks for listening.
Speaker 1 (25:00):
You got for us.
Speaker 7 (25:01):
Oh guys, I want to apologize for the women. I
just want to apologize because I watched the statistics. The
women are the ones that put Mandami over. The women
are the ones that put it over in New Jersey
and in Virginia. I want to apologize for the stupidity
of my gender.
Speaker 1 (25:23):
Thank you, Thank you for the call. Body.
Speaker 2 (25:25):
I wasn't expecting Bonnie to call in from Charleston, South Carolina,
beautiful city there and just point out what is true.
Men voted for the Republican win some seers. Based on
what I've seen, if it were only men voting, Republicans
would have won every race.
Speaker 1 (25:44):
I think.
Speaker 3 (25:44):
Also this goes in the silver lining but also a
little bit of the schadenfreude category for those of you
who voted for either Cuomo or Sleewa. And I know
if you're a Cuomo voter, you just it was an
anti Mamdanni vote. But wasn't enough. Remember Trump endorse Cuomo.
What a crazy world we live in, the very at
the very eleventh things odds.
Speaker 2 (26:05):
What odds would you have given me on Trump endorsing
Cuomo for any election in the rest of his life
in the twenty twenty when we were in the middle
of COVID.
Speaker 3 (26:13):
Yeah, would have been would have been quite a stretch.
But there we are, or there we were, and I
would just say, mom, Donnie is going to greatly disappoint
the people who actually believe that he will deliver on
the stuff that he has promised. And that also means
that he will not be able to mess things up
(26:34):
as badly as some of you are worried he will.
That said, he is going.
Speaker 1 (26:40):
To be a very bad mayor.
Speaker 3 (26:41):
Unfortunately, so it's not as bad as people are thinking.
If they think it's going to be absolutely catastrophic, He's
really just going to be uh. I think in a
lot of ways Deblasio. But he's taking over with a
city that is in more need of help and more
need of fixing them. When when Deblasio took it over,
(27:01):
all you have to do is not mess it up,
and Deblasio was like, I'm gonna mess this up.
Speaker 1 (27:05):
That's a different situation than Ma'm donnie. Now.
Speaker 2 (27:07):
I think the awful way to contemplate this buck to
me is it won't matter. They're not gonna It doesn't
even matter if Mam Donnie does an awful job. They
hate Trump so much that they are willing to live
in awfulness rather than make a choice that would in
(27:29):
any way be seen as an acknowledgment that Trump is
something other than pure evil.
Speaker 3 (27:34):
That's when you have gone full woke. I want everyone
to understand this was a lesson for me. This was
something that I had to adjust my thinking and understanding
of the left Democrat mindset in America. Clay based on
the San Francisco model where they finally in the BLM
(27:57):
era right, So twenty twenty George Floyd happens. They reached
the point where it was, so, what if your home
is being burglarized? Social justice means you can't call the
cops because and I'm just telling you what the argument was.
And there were editorials written about this. This is where
you can go find them. There's one in particular in the
(28:17):
San Francisco Chronicle. You can't call the cops because a
person of color is stealing from you because of society,
and so you are part of systematic racism if you
call the cops. So it's basically you must revel in
your suffering. That is where that is where they finally
(28:40):
will go. And in New York they have not suffered enough.
They have not seen what happens when you promise fairy
tales and put idiots in charge.
Speaker 2 (28:49):
It's funny because it sounds on its face so patently
absurd to say to someone in San Francisco, if a
minority robs you, you shouldn't call the police, because the
minority he deserves whatever your property is.
Speaker 3 (29:02):
That's the police. Violence may be visited on them by
well that's the other part.
Speaker 2 (29:06):
But this is just a physical, direct manifestation of what
reparations is.
Speaker 6 (29:12):
Right.
Speaker 2 (29:12):
It sounds even more ridiculous when you put it in
the context of you have possession of property and you
give it to someone else based entirely on their past.
It's really the robbery is just a physical manifestation, which
makes the reparations even more ridiculous. But in the government
is taking the money instead of an individual. In the
(29:35):
case of reparations Tom in Tampa, which got.
Speaker 8 (29:41):
Hey You're slightly wrong on one thing you said, and I'm going.
Speaker 9 (29:44):
To prove it to you. Okay. The great Rush Limbaugh
taught us all that the campaigns live on three words,
internal polling data. Everybody said that if Carnis pulled out
of the race, those votes would go to Bundam. Well,
apparently Curtis had internal polling data data all right, No
(30:05):
put attendant that indicated that that was not the case.
So where you were.
Speaker 8 (30:09):
Wrong play is apparently there was no secret deal to
get to get Sleewah some sort of job because it
didn't matter if he pulled out or state in hold on.
Speaker 2 (30:22):
I do think the data reflects I'm looking at the
results right now. Sleewa got seven point one percent of
the vote.
Speaker 1 (30:32):
If he had dropped out.
Speaker 8 (30:33):
That to Cuomo's percentage, it doesn't come up to enough
to win the election.
Speaker 1 (30:38):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (30:40):
I think if Sleewa had dropped out and it had
been a head to head race, Mom Donnie won fifty
point four percent of the race. He barely got over
fifty percent. I think if there had been a head
to head race, it is more likely that Cuomo could
have potentially maybe he wouldn't have gotten over fifty percent
(31:02):
with Slee what in mom Donnie won by nearly nine points.
It didn't end up being remotely close. Now, people out
there buck were calling in and saying, you guys are
are particularly me, You're crazy. Slee was gonna win, and
so I had fun and said I'll wear red beret
for I mean, he got seven percent of the vote.
Speaker 3 (31:22):
Well, also the thing that always made me a little
sanguine about this whole thing, And and I love New
York and I am not in the Let's let's just see,
Let's see how crazy this experiment can get. Let's see
what happens when we empty out Arkham on New York
City and the asylum is actually just the city itself.
I'm rooting for New York. But Cuomo is horrible. I mean,
(31:42):
this is Cuomo isn't a generic Democrat who happened. Cuomo
was a terrible governor and awful not.
Speaker 1 (31:49):
Just on COVID.
Speaker 3 (31:50):
I keep banging the table, the crime. The crime policies
that Cuomo push at the state level were the worst
things done to New York City on crime. So this
is why everyone's saying, oh but Cuomo, but Cuomo, nay
was terrible. Actually, so that was I felt like we
were out of the frying pan into the fire, even
(32:11):
if we got a Cuomo come from behind, Vicky.
Speaker 2 (32:14):
Here's some fun, Buck. Roy just emailed me you and Travis.
I think he thinks he's emailing you, but so this
is directed at you, Buck. You and Travis did everything
you could to short circuit Curtis Lee was campaign except
urge people to vote for mom Kami. And when it
became obvious that was what you were doing, you had
(32:36):
the unmitigated gall to invite sleiwa on for a last
minute interview, and now you're kissing mom Kami's ass. If
you controlled opposition, you can go to hell before you
get an apologize.
Speaker 1 (32:54):
You know what, we're here.
Speaker 3 (32:56):
We're here to absorb all the frustration of sleeve of
voters because you're our family, sleeve of voters, You're our family.
I love you all, okay, And I know it's a set.
Speaker 1 (33:08):
You know, our.
Speaker 2 (33:09):
Point one percent of the vote, Buck seven point This
is like losing sixty three to three.
Speaker 3 (33:17):
Clay is having a little more fun with that than I.
All right, by the way, that's Clay. I'm Buck this.
I don't know who the Travis thing is that they're
setting email in all right. At a time when prices
are high on everything big issue in politics, pure talk
continues to hold their price on monthly service. It's been
that way since we started relying on pure Talk four
plus years ago. If you want a way to save
money every month without sacrificing quality and cell phone service,
(33:40):
switch over to pure Talk. It's the best value in
the wireless industry. The average sized family of four saves
over one thousand dollars a year when they switch from
big wireless companies to pure Talk because pure Talk gives
you unlimited talk, text, and plenty of data for just
twenty five bucks a month on pure Talk's lightning fast
five G network. Plus right now, they'll take an additional
fifty percent off your first month. That's immediate saving. You
(34:00):
can take immediate action on. You can keep your phone
and your number and more of your money. Dial pound
two five zero say the keywords clay and buck, and
pure Talk's US customer service team will switch you over
in as little as ten minutes. Plus say fifty percent
off your first month. Dial pound two five zero say
Clay and Buck to switch to America's wireless company, pure Talk.
Speaker 5 (34:21):
Want to begin to know when you're on the go.
The Team forty seven podcast Trump Highlights from the week
Sundays at noon Eastern in the Clay and Buck podcast
speed find it on the iHeartRadio app or wherever you
get your podcasts.
Speaker 1 (34:36):
All right, welcome back into Clay and Buck.
Speaker 3 (34:38):
We got Danny and Staten Island, the Staten Islands, an
island of sanity in a sea of madness in this election.
Thanks for being with us, Danny, what's going on? What
do you want to tell us?
Speaker 4 (34:48):
You got it? Guys. Thanks. I love your show. You
guys are great Americans. Thanks for everything you do. Yeah,
all right, we expected this, but now that it's here,
I mean, I've had both seat out the Gulf of
Florida for a while now, but now it's all the now.
I just got to hold my cousin that lives down
there in Tampa, and I'm like, probably gonna head down
there this weekend and check out some properties.
Speaker 3 (35:07):
Because you're doing Gulf Coast, You're gonna go Golf Coast,
not Atlantic Coast.
Speaker 4 (35:10):
And I love the East Coast. I love the East Coast,
but I just have a fondness for the West Coast.
I just so something about it.
Speaker 2 (35:15):
This was the I mean tippic point you said you've had.
You've been thinking about it for a while. But if
Mam Donnie had lost, you wouldn't have gone like this
to you. Was just like the straw that breaks the
proverbial camel's back on New York for you.
Speaker 4 (35:29):
Pretty much. I just I'm just standing out. We've always
mutched a beat of our own here, as you know,
we're you know, it's a little different than the rest
of the Four boroughs. You know, we don't even consider
ourselves paut of here.
Speaker 1 (35:37):
Yeah, you guys, you guys are playing buck Land Like.
Speaker 3 (35:40):
I walk around there with my man Joe Borelli, and
I feel like the deputy mayor or something.
Speaker 1 (35:45):
I love you people in Staten Island.
Speaker 4 (35:47):
Yeah, I mean, I'm born and raised. I mean, I'm
a retired fireman. I've been here, you know, my whole life.
I'm like probably a fifth generation Staten Islander. I mean,
I don't hate it, but I just you know, the
expense is here. I mean, you know, we're still living
with paycheck to paycheck here, and what am I getting?
Speaker 1 (36:01):
Yeah?
Speaker 9 (36:01):
Nothing?
Speaker 1 (36:02):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (36:02):
Well, and the problem is, right, we can all agree
that that's thank you so much for calling in, Danny,
and welcome to Florida.
Speaker 1 (36:09):
If you do come down here, you're gonna love it.
I love it. I love you New Yorkers too.
Speaker 3 (36:13):
But the problem play is real expenses are very high
in New York because of people making bad decisions about
redistributive justice and regulation and government intervention and taxation.
Speaker 1 (36:28):
They're making it all worse.
Speaker 3 (36:30):
Well, and they just elected somebody who's gonna go and
triple down in that area.
Speaker 2 (36:34):
My concern is, whatever happens, even if it's bad, you
know what they're gonna do.
Speaker 1 (36:39):
Buck, Yeah, of course, yeah. We'll talk more about that.
Speaker 3 (36:43):
Also, the ag race in Virginia, we haven't talked about it.
We will because something very upsetting from that one. We'll
discuss
Welcome.
Speaker 2 (00:01):
In Wednesday edition Clay Travis buck Sexton Show, the sun
is in fact up after a dark night, and I'm
in New York City and it is certainly a very
dark morning in New York City. We will dive into,
(00:22):
as you might well imagine, Mam Donnie's huge win, the
wins in New Jersey and in Virginia for the Democrat candidates.
It is the one year anniversary of Trump's big win.
And certainly the Democrats who hate Trump, well, they have
not stopped hating Trump. And to me, Buck, there are
(00:45):
two big takeaways that I have and then I'm curious
whether you co sign or whether you have different takeaways.
And to me, let's start with New York City. This
is not an upset. Mam Donnie won a majority of
the vote in one of the highest turnout elections that
New York City has seen in most of the listeners'
(01:08):
lives out there, So all of our WR people open
phone lines. By the way, producer Greg will open them.
If all of you, Curtis Slee whata people would like
to call in and apologize to me for correctly pointing
out that he had zero percent chance of winning and
that Honestly, I do think if he had dropped out
earlier and it had been a Cuomo against Mom Donnie
(01:30):
straight up election, I think that Cuomo may have been
able to win. The latest numbers that I saw Buck,
unless more have come in, is that Mam Donnie won
right around fifty four point four percent of the vote,
that is just barely over a majority, and that the
rest was split between SLIWA and so New York City.
Starting there, what was your take? My biggest take is like,
(01:52):
this is what New York wanted. The polls were all correct.
Speaker 3 (01:57):
Let's take a moment because we get a lot of of, oh,
you can't trust the polls, you can't know. The polls
were pretty much spot on the people that were leading
all one, and the margins were more or less what
was expected. Virginia might have been a little bigger than expected,
but look, we lost the governor's mansion in Virginia. We lost, well,
(02:18):
we didn't win the contest for the governor's mansion. In
New Jersey. We've got a communist mayor of New York
City Inbound Clay. I am wearing Soviet Union red today
in solidarity with Comrade Zoran. But the political consensus, the
wisdom of the chattering class, whatever you want to call it,
(02:40):
was locked in correct. And everything that we told you
to be fair was also correct.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
None of this.
Speaker 3 (02:47):
I was hopeful that maybe we would steal something from
New Jersey, but we didn't.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
So it was not a strong night.
Speaker 3 (02:55):
Look, these are very tough races in very tough spaces
for not just a Republican but for sanity. This is
like the heart of darkness. When you're talking about New
York City, you're talking about you know, the northern part
of Virginia, which now dominates the state. Clay I will say,
and we're going to get into the demographic data too
here that also completely aligned with what we thought. If
(03:19):
you thought some group was going to vote Mam Donnie,
they did. By the way, Mom Donnie got over ninety
percent of the black vote, something that was not talked
about very much in advance of the election. So that
was the single strongest demographic for Mom Donnie. But there
are many you know, young women, Millennials, Hispanics, Asians. There's
(03:41):
all these breakdowns of the data we'll see, Clay, I
think that at the biggest level, at the thirty thousand
foot view, This is a reminder that economics is still
the dominant political issue in America. Wherever you are, people
are worried about price, They're worried about cost of living.
(04:01):
They're worried about their future and their children's future, or
even their ability to have children because of the future
that they see, and the political party that addresses that
with more a plum, not just more accuracy. Zoran was
more fun than the other guys. Yeah, he's a communist,
He's gonna ruin New York. We all get that, right,
(04:23):
But Clay who was more entertaining, who was more engaging,
who seemed like he wanted it more?
Speaker 1 (04:28):
It's not even close. Cuomo barely showed up.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
New York City's in trouble with Mom Donnie, but they
voted for him for sure. The turnout was huge. Here's
what I would say about Virginia and New Jersey, and
I think this is where not only do we look
at the results, but we have to spin it forward
and we have to do it honestly. Trump got more
votes in New Jersey and in Virginia last year than
(04:55):
either of the winning candidates did Mickey Cheryl or spam Berger. Okay,
why do I say that, yes it was a presidential election,
Yes it's an off year election, but that always happens.
In New Jersey in Virginia, six hundred thousand Trump voters,
Buck did not show up and vote in both New
(05:16):
Jersey and in Virginia. Six hundred thousand. Some of you
are listening to us right now, and you didn't go vote,
even though we change you to go vote.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
Okay, shame.
Speaker 2 (05:30):
What does that mean going forward? The people buck who
hate Trump, they show up, their brains are broken. They
will show up at a school board vote because they
hate Trump. The people who love Trump, they don't show
up when Trump's not on the ballot. And so that
is ominous for twenty twenty six, and candidly it's ominous
(05:54):
for twenty twenty eight, which is why I have told
you the pivot is coming very soon to Trump's voters
won't show up in twenty eight. And they're gonna say
Trump's voters won't show up in twenty six. And that
is to me, the biggest, most impactful thing about what
happened last night. Six hundred thousand people less showed up
(06:17):
in New Jersey and Virginia. It wasn't that somehow these
Democrats won and turned out unbelievable numbers.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
The numbers in New York City were unbelievable, and they
were good.
Speaker 3 (06:27):
I mean, they actually did do a good job of turnout,
I think in New York particularly, but in New York City.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
But that's why I said, it's two different takes. New
York City, they said, we want Commie Mom, Donnie, he's
our guy. We are excited to go to the polls
and make this guy the next mayor. You said, it's
because he's exciting. I mean, I think that he ran.
I think you got to give him credit. A great
campaign and he delivered based on an awful, awful pitch
(06:52):
reality wise, But in New Jersey and Virginia, the biggest
story to me is Trump's people didn't show up.
Speaker 3 (06:58):
There is a fundamental reality that the GOP is going
to have to address. Look, this is an off year election.
This was Democrat home turf really across the board. I mean,
Virginia is.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
A purple blue state.
Speaker 3 (07:13):
I know we had that that nice, that nice off
year win before with youngkin win. Some Seers seems like
a wonderful lady and a just a very good person,
a completely unmemorable campaign not to be mean. I think
she's very impressive and I obviously would have voted for
(07:33):
her to live in Virginia, but just not a campaigner.
You know, you can be a good leader, you can
be a good decider, but not really a campaigner. Zorn
is kind of funny, Clay, He's the opposite. Zoran created
a show. Zorn remembered the lessons of Saul Alinsky. Go
back and read Rules for Radicals. Everybody Alyinsky there was.
(07:54):
There is an evil brilliance to so much that is
in that book. One of the things is make it fun,
Make it an activity. Make activism something people want to
show up to because they'll feel cool and they'll laugh
and they'll be with their friends. And Zoran manage to
do that. Now Trump has had that same effect on
(08:16):
the right. Trump is both a political and a cultural phenomenon.
People show up with their MAGA hats, People show up
feeling like they are part of something. The big question
for twenty eight, more so even than twenty six, I
think Clay, is how does the MAGA movement coalesce around
(08:36):
an air apparent? How does Trump play into that? And
this is gonna be something we talk a lot about
in the next year. But in the meantime the economy,
and that means healthcare, that means inflation, the cost of rent,
the cost of groceries, the cost of everything. You gotta
have messaging on this everyone or else, the commedies will
be in charge.
Speaker 2 (08:56):
Here is a funny tweet on this, because we are
going to try to have some hue because sometimes you
get your ask, you have to have a little bit
of you have to have a little bit of black
sense of humor, right, a dark sense of humor.
Speaker 1 (09:07):
I told my parents, just make sure that go bags
are by the front door. I'm here in Florida. If
you know where to go, they're fine.
Speaker 2 (09:13):
Brad Chadlington, I don't know who he is, but I
saw this and I thought it was so funny. The richest, whitest,
most sheltered girl you know, from the wealthiest suburb in
the country is posting a picture of zorn mom Donnie
on her story right now, captioned power to the people
from her soho apartment that's paid for by her wealthy
(09:34):
conservative father. There is a lot of truth to this,
because the more recently you arrived in New York City,
I saw a breakdown based on length of time that
people have lived in New York City, the more likely
you were to vote for Mom Donnie overwhelming majority.
Speaker 1 (09:54):
I think it was eighty two percent.
Speaker 2 (09:55):
I saw of people that have gotten to New York
City in the last decade.
Speaker 4 (09:59):
Now.
Speaker 2 (09:59):
A lot of those or immigrants, right, which is a
whole big discussion in general. But a lot of those
people are actually just young college kids like the girl
probably that I just described.
Speaker 3 (10:10):
Well, we all we got to slow immigration down in general.
There's another conversation that ever needs to have. If you
have the largest city in America with being largely determined
its future being determined by people who have been in
America for only a couple of years, that's that's a problem.
That's actually not what you want. No other country would
allow that. Yeah, I know the worst. We've been brainwashed
(10:32):
to believe, but that's all you know, if you just
came across the border, even if you're illegal, you're as
American as everybody who's ever been here, and even if
for families been here for generations. That is not true. Uh,
And we have to have a discussion about that as well.
We're good, we've had a lot of immigration, you know,
We've had a lot of legal immigration, a lot of
illegal immigration. It's time, it's time to tighten up some
(10:52):
of these numbers a little bit and let assimilation and
Americanism and Americanizing take place for everybody. It can't just
be this wide open door and you get people coming
here from all over the world who are saying, you
know what I want, communism.
Speaker 1 (11:06):
That's not good.
Speaker 3 (11:06):
That's not going to help us very much here by
the country went through this before the city of Chicago,
in particular Clay right around the turn of the twentieth century,
there were all kinds of commedis and socialists and anarchists
who were showing up and it was a real concern.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
Then.
Speaker 2 (11:18):
The biggest issue I would say with illegal immigration and
immigration now is back in the day when we had
you know where I am right now in New York City,
huge Irish populations, huge Italian populations, huge numbers of immigrants.
A lot of them still came from a Western civilization
(11:39):
culture that recognized that Western civilization. And yes, Christianity, although
it might have been Catholic. Remember the big battle there
was between Protestants and Catholics.
Speaker 1 (11:49):
There was a common floor of agreement on some level.
A lot of people coming now, which is certainly incredibly ironic.
Are our youing America is an awful place? Oh oh,
and American's history is awful.
Speaker 3 (12:05):
And this will I think it's even worse Clay because
there's also this is a spoils system that people now arrive.
And you see this in Minneapolis, and you see this
in New York, and you see this in cities where
there is a particularly increasingly obvious tribal, newly arrived political attitude. Yes,
like I have arrived. I'm going to vote as a
(12:27):
voting block to dispossess the natives, the ones who have
been here. And by the way, to be very clear,
that's all Americans. That's white, Black, Asian, Latino. But it's
people that were born here, people that were raised here,
people that are American. There's now the new arrivals that
are saying, why do I even have to Why don't
I even have to conform? I don't have to learn
English even or do any of this stuff. I'm just
(12:48):
going to stay with my voting block here, do you see.
By the way, if you want to look at a
version of this, Sweden, the Netherlands, they've got big problems
because people show up and they say, I just want
the welfare state, and I'm going to have nothing to
do with your culture and your society. Now, look, there's
a very complicated, broad discussion with a lot of things
going on, but in New York it is very stark.
(13:12):
People who are college educated and young who have been brainwashed.
I will just say it, they have been brainwashed.
Speaker 1 (13:17):
They do not know.
Speaker 3 (13:19):
The other problem on this, though, is they are getting
screwed by not having assets because of the inflationary policies
of both Democrats and Republicans and the way that we've
created a system that unfortunately is intergenerational theft. No one
wants to hear that, but it's true. Thirty seven trillion
dollars of debt. This is a problem. We do actually
(13:40):
have to deal with this. So there's a lot a
lot of lessons I think you can take from this,
but there's nothing dire here. It's an off year election.
We expected all these results play.
Speaker 2 (13:51):
We told people that these results were coming, and a
lot of people out there said, I.
Speaker 1 (13:56):
Don't believe the polls.
Speaker 2 (13:57):
Remember Hillary Clay, You're the reason Slee was gonna win.
When I said, okay, I'll wear a beret for like,
he got seven and a half percent of the vote,
seven and a half percent of vote. I think I
could have gotten seven and a half percent of the vote, honestly.
I mean, you know, I think you would have gotten
more than seven and a half percent of the vote.
Speaker 3 (14:14):
So, you know, a native son of New York formerly
of the NYPD's got some got decent hair. No beret,
but decent hair. H Yeah, it was not a good
showing for sleeve. Well, you fled the city just in time.
By the way, a lot of people are gonna say buck,
you know, yeah, got out. I mean I'm actually I'm
actually closing on a Florida property today, an investment.
Speaker 2 (14:34):
So I've been told we could have some fun with
this too. Real estate agents legitimately in Florida and Tennessee
and Texas are being flooded with calls right now.
Speaker 1 (14:45):
I wonder is that really.
Speaker 2 (14:46):
I'm gonna send some messages out because everybody in Florida
has a real estate license, so I'm gonna ask them,
my buddies, it is.
Speaker 1 (14:51):
One hundred percent real.
Speaker 2 (14:52):
Now people may not act on it, but there's a
lot of people waking up in New York.
Speaker 1 (14:55):
This morning, saying this is.
Speaker 2 (14:57):
Just they went through COVID, they dealt with all of
the things that had to do with Eric Adams, but
this is much worse.
Speaker 3 (15:07):
Home burglaries and invasions the last thing you want to
contend with in your own home, and unfortunately happens more
than you'd think about every thirty seconds nationwide. And look,
there are some places where we're seeing crime reductions and
that's great, and Trump has played a big role in that,
but a lot of other places where burglaries are on
the rise, and honestly, it can just happen even in
safe neighborhood, safe areas. So are you prepared to protect

so good. Find them on the free iHeartRadio app or
wherever you get your podcast.
Speaker 1 (16:23):
Welcome back into Clay and Buck.
Speaker 3 (16:24):
Obviously, election day results to talk about here, and we're
gonna dive into more of that.
Speaker 1 (16:29):
Take a lot of your calls.
Speaker 3 (16:30):
Let's hear from you in New York, New Jersey, and
particularly Virginia voters out there. I want to hear about
how it feels for all of you, a little bit
of a special special focus here on the New York
City individuals, because New Jersey is not gonna change, you know,
a Miikey Cheryl. It's gonna be business as usual. Unfortunately
in the Garden State that would have been a nice one.
But uh yeah, there's that. Uh you know, maybe you
(16:54):
should rally should have called in like he was supposed to.
I don't know what to tell you what have helped,
But here we have. Oh one thing that was sad
for me. Let you know there was one spot on
the map for Sliwa. One spot on the map for Sliwa.
That was a Sliwa win. When I went to bed
last night, broad Channel way out in Brooklyn by fall
(17:15):
Rock away the island of broad Channel. I went to
bed thinking Sliwa was the king of broad Channel Clay.
Speaker 2 (17:24):
And then Cuomo pulled it out of his hands at
like three in the morning as the results were being tallied.
Speaker 1 (17:29):
I felt bad for him. In Sleewa, I was like,
at least he's got broad Channel.
Speaker 2 (17:33):
We will take your calls and we come back eight
hundred and two two two eight a two. You can
also send your talk back apologies to me for being
completely right about everything I said in New York City,
uh in the mayor's race, including people who called me
mean names. I would like for you to send us
talkbacks and acknowledge that I was right and you were wrong.
I'm sure that's coming. In the meantime, I'm right about
(17:54):
this too. Cozy Earth is incredible. Once we love Cozy
Earth sheets, once you sleep on him, you'll under stand why.
Incredibly soft, lightweight, also moisture wicking so you never overheat.
They have come backed by one hundred night sleep trial,
money back guarantee and a ten year warranty. That's just
one of the many great Cozy Earth products out there.
(18:15):
Cozy Earth also has cozy clothes too. Producer Ali is
wearing a cashmere cardigan, oh and getting another one for
her mom. I'm in the studio in New York City.
She might need that cashmere cardigan because I think that
Zoron Mamdanni is going to seize it because it is
too nice and he wants to seize all methods of opulence.
(18:38):
Right now, sale is on at cozyearth dot com. Use
my name Clay as your promo code. Top of the state,
what site wide sale forty percent off go to cozyearth
dot com right now, my name Clay for forty percent off.
That's cozyearth dot com, Clay for forty percent off. We
are talking their results from Virginia, New Jersey, New York
City and beyond. A lot of you want to weigh
(19:01):
in and we will take a bunch of your calls here.
Jason in Houston, Buck I don't know what the reaction
has been among your friends in Florida, but I was
tweeting last night and I saw I just I'm catching
up with Twitter. I saw that you responded to Tommy
Larin being upset with me for telling people in New York, Hey,
(19:22):
come on down to Tennessee, come on down to Texas,
come on down to Florida if you are successful and
just fed up with everything around you. Tommy is like, no,
we don't want any of these people here. And then
you pointed out that Florida has a lot of dangers,
and so you wanted everyone to be hire.
Speaker 3 (19:42):
I'm fine with the sane and decent people of New
York who have had enough going to another red state.
It's just Florida's gotten a little crowded since I arrived
a few years ago, and we have sharks and alligant.
So for the safety of all involved, I think, go out.
There's all this land. I've driven around Nashville outside the
(20:04):
city limits. There's all this land there. Just start building there.
You're gonna love it. It's gonna be great.
Speaker 2 (20:09):
Let me also point this out more seriously for any
of you out there that have bought into this craziness
that Jewish people run the country right now and they
make every decision. Let me just point this out. The
biggest population of Jews in America is in New York City,
and New York City just elected a mayor that hates them.
(20:31):
So if the Jewish people were so all powerful with.
Speaker 3 (20:35):
The help of some Jewish voters, I might have, by
the way, substantial We'll see what those that data actually
looks like.
Speaker 1 (20:41):
But Mamdani one.
Speaker 3 (20:42):
The very heavily Jewish Upper West Side of Manhattan by
a lot.
Speaker 1 (20:47):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (20:48):
So, and look, I mean it's a dark thing to
think about, but twenty fifth anniversary of nine to eleven,
the mayor of New York City is now going to
be Muslim. I don't know how those ceremonies are going
to go. And certainly there are peace loving members of
the Muslim community. But I think if you had told
(21:11):
people in New York in two thousand and one, hey,
on the twenty fifth anniversary of nine to eleven, there
will be a Muslim mayor of New York City, I
think a lot of them would have told you that
that is crazy. In the immediate aftermath of nine to eleven,
I would also point out that it disproves the arguments
that Mamdani used to get elected, which is that New
Yorkers are hugely racist and religious bigots.
Speaker 3 (21:33):
Islamophobic is the one that which is. As I've always said,
nine to eleven was one of the greatest testament, the
aftermath of nine to eleven greatest testaments to the character
and tolerance of the American people, because there was no
real Islamophobia. You know, they can talk about like, oh,
someone said something mean to somebody with a headscarf. A
lot of people say a lot of mean things to
people every day for a lot of reasons. Okay, that's
(21:55):
not a hate crime that we all have to sit
out and cry about. But that wasn't even really happening
in the way they were pretending anyway. Not even this
was this was a class and socialism and Marxism election.
It really was more that I think than anything in
New York City, that than anything else.
Speaker 1 (22:13):
Uh. And then in the in the.
Speaker 3 (22:15):
Democrat precincts in Virginia, Clay Look, DC is a one
is a one industry town government in all its formations
and permutations, and the Republicans came in and they've been
cutting jobs and they've got doge. And let me tell you,
there are a lot of very unhappy Now. There's really
(22:37):
two Virginia, just like there's a lot there's a lot
of this in other states.
Speaker 1 (22:40):
Right.
Speaker 3 (22:40):
There's the Virginia that is essentially overflow from the District
of Columbia, which is a big chunk of suburb, right,
just a big suburb of DC. And then there's the
Virginia that some of you live in who are listening.
That's just like read and you're listening to this show,
and we all get you know, we all get the vibe.
Speaker 1 (23:01):
Right.
Speaker 3 (23:03):
Unfortunately, there's so many people in that northern part and
the job the jobs cutting, and the anxiety over over
the government shutdown turnout what's huge, and that would be
very difficult for any Republican to overcome.
Speaker 2 (23:18):
And we told you that they were using that for
their political benefit. And I bet we'll get it into
the shutdown sooner rather than later. Jason and Houston, what
you got for us?
Speaker 6 (23:29):
Hey, I just want to promote my city here. I've
lived in Houston for fifty years. I love it. And
any of you, even New York want to come down
here and think you're going to lose something you're not.
We have a world class symphony, world class opera, ballet,
theater seats.
Speaker 2 (23:45):
So you you, Jason, I appreciate Houston is a great place.
You want angry New Yorkers who vote read you're welcoming
them down to the lone star state into Houston in particular.
Speaker 6 (23:58):
Oh yeah, Houston's a great place to live. And it
is so underrated by people who've never been here. I mean,
we have so much to off and we got lots
of great restaurants as far as econot. A lot of
people don't know this. You know what the second largest
industry in Houston is.
Speaker 1 (24:15):
And energy makes sense.
Speaker 6 (24:19):
Rodeo medicine, medicine I should.
Speaker 1 (24:23):
Have gotten you have the Mt. Anderson Complex. Thank you
for the call.
Speaker 3 (24:29):
Is I'm gonna say, I don't want to I'm not
trying to offend anybody elsewhere in Texas. I I'm more
a Houston person than a Dallas person. And I've spent
a lot of time in the Dallas area, but I'm
I'm Houston's more my my scene actually, So I.
Speaker 1 (24:41):
I like Houston a lot.
Speaker 3 (24:42):
I think the food when when I've gone to restaurants
in Houston that Houstonians have said the food's really good.
Even as a food snob New Yorker, I have to
be like, yes, your food is very good. So that's
always a big tell for me.
Speaker 2 (24:55):
Bonnie in Charleston, South Carolina, Bonnie, thanks for listening.
Speaker 1 (25:00):
You got for us.
Speaker 7 (25:01):
Oh guys, I want to apologize for the women. I
just want to apologize because I watched the statistics. The
women are the ones that put Mandami over. The women
are the ones that put it over in New Jersey
and in Virginia. I want to apologize for the stupidity
of my gender.
Speaker 1 (25:23):
Thank you, Thank you for the call. Body.
Speaker 2 (25:25):
I wasn't expecting Bonnie to call in from Charleston, South Carolina,
beautiful city there and just point out what is true.
Men voted for the Republican win some seers. Based on
what I've seen, if it were only men voting, Republicans
would have won every race.
Speaker 1 (25:44):
I think.
Speaker 3 (25:44):
Also this goes in the silver lining but also a
little bit of the schadenfreude category for those of you
who voted for either Cuomo or Sleewa. And I know
if you're a Cuomo voter, you just it was an
anti Mamdanni vote. But wasn't enough. Remember Trump endorse Cuomo.
What a crazy world we live in, the very at
the very eleventh things odds.
Speaker 2 (26:05):
What odds would you have given me on Trump endorsing
Cuomo for any election in the rest of his life
in the twenty twenty when we were in the middle
of COVID.
Speaker 3 (26:13):
Yeah, would have been would have been quite a stretch.
But there we are, or there we were, and I
would just say, mom, Donnie is going to greatly disappoint
the people who actually believe that he will deliver on
the stuff that he has promised. And that also means
that he will not be able to mess things up
(26:34):
as badly as some of you are worried he will.
That said, he is going.
Speaker 1 (26:40):
To be a very bad mayor.
Speaker 3 (26:41):
Unfortunately, so it's not as bad as people are thinking.
If they think it's going to be absolutely catastrophic, He's
really just going to be uh. I think in a
lot of ways Deblasio. But he's taking over with a
city that is in more need of help and more
need of fixing them. When when Deblasio took it over,
(27:01):
all you have to do is not mess it up,
and Deblasio was like, I'm gonna mess this up.
Speaker 1 (27:05):
That's a different situation than Ma'm donnie. Now.
Speaker 2 (27:07):
I think the awful way to contemplate this buck to
me is it won't matter. They're not gonna It doesn't
even matter if Mam Donnie does an awful job. They
hate Trump so much that they are willing to live
in awfulness rather than make a choice that would in
(27:29):
any way be seen as an acknowledgment that Trump is
something other than pure evil.
Speaker 3 (27:34):
That's when you have gone full woke. I want everyone
to understand this was a lesson for me. This was
something that I had to adjust my thinking and understanding
of the left Democrat mindset in America. Clay based on
the San Francisco model where they finally in the BLM
(27:57):
era right, So twenty twenty George Floyd happens. They reached
the point where it was, so, what if your home
is being burglarized? Social justice means you can't call the
cops because and I'm just telling you what the argument was.
And there were editorials written about this. This is where
you can go find them. There's one in particular in the
(28:17):
San Francisco Chronicle. You can't call the cops because a
person of color is stealing from you because of society,
and so you are part of systematic racism if you
call the cops. So it's basically you must revel in
your suffering. That is where that is where they finally
(28:40):
will go. And in New York they have not suffered enough.
They have not seen what happens when you promise fairy
tales and put idiots in charge.
Speaker 2 (28:49):
It's funny because it sounds on its face so patently
absurd to say to someone in San Francisco, if a
minority robs you, you shouldn't call the police, because the
minority he deserves whatever your property is.
Speaker 3 (29:02):
That's the police. Violence may be visited on them by
well that's the other part.
Speaker 2 (29:06):
But this is just a physical, direct manifestation of what
reparations is.
Speaker 6 (29:12):
Right.
Speaker 2 (29:12):
It sounds even more ridiculous when you put it in
the context of you have possession of property and you
give it to someone else based entirely on their past.
It's really the robbery is just a physical manifestation, which
makes the reparations even more ridiculous. But in the government
is taking the money instead of an individual. In the
(29:35):
case of reparations Tom in Tampa, which got.
Speaker 8 (29:41):
Hey You're slightly wrong on one thing you said, and I'm going.
Speaker 9 (29:44):
To prove it to you. Okay. The great Rush Limbaugh
taught us all that the campaigns live on three words,
internal polling data. Everybody said that if Carnis pulled out
of the race, those votes would go to Bundam. Well,
apparently Curtis had internal polling data data all right, No
(30:05):
put attendant that indicated that that was not the case.
So where you were.
Speaker 8 (30:09):
Wrong play is apparently there was no secret deal to
get to get Sleewah some sort of job because it
didn't matter if he pulled out or state in hold on.
Speaker 2 (30:22):
I do think the data reflects I'm looking at the
results right now. Sleewa got seven point one percent of
the vote.
Speaker 1 (30:32):
If he had dropped out.
Speaker 8 (30:33):
That to Cuomo's percentage, it doesn't come up to enough
to win the election.
Speaker 1 (30:38):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (30:40):
I think if Sleewa had dropped out and it had
been a head to head race, Mom Donnie won fifty
point four percent of the race. He barely got over
fifty percent. I think if there had been a head
to head race, it is more likely that Cuomo could
have potentially maybe he wouldn't have gotten over fifty percent
(31:02):
with Slee what in mom Donnie won by nearly nine points.
It didn't end up being remotely close. Now, people out
there buck were calling in and saying, you guys are
are particularly me, You're crazy. Slee was gonna win, and
so I had fun and said I'll wear red beret
for I mean, he got seven percent of the vote.
Speaker 3 (31:22):
Well, also the thing that always made me a little
sanguine about this whole thing, And and I love New
York and I am not in the Let's let's just see,
Let's see how crazy this experiment can get. Let's see
what happens when we empty out Arkham on New York
City and the asylum is actually just the city itself.
I'm rooting for New York. But Cuomo is horrible. I mean,
(31:42):
this is Cuomo isn't a generic Democrat who happened. Cuomo
was a terrible governor and awful not.
Speaker 1 (31:49):
Just on COVID.
Speaker 3 (31:50):
I keep banging the table, the crime. The crime policies
that Cuomo push at the state level were the worst
things done to New York City on crime. So this
is why everyone's saying, oh but Cuomo, but Cuomo, nay
was terrible. Actually, so that was I felt like we
were out of the frying pan into the fire, even
(32:11):
if we got a Cuomo come from behind, Vicky.
Speaker 2 (32:14):
Here's some fun, Buck. Roy just emailed me you and Travis.
I think he thinks he's emailing you, but so this
is directed at you, Buck. You and Travis did everything
you could to short circuit Curtis Lee was campaign except
urge people to vote for mom Kami. And when it
became obvious that was what you were doing, you had
(32:36):
the unmitigated gall to invite sleiwa on for a last
minute interview, and now you're kissing mom Kami's ass. If
you controlled opposition, you can go to hell before you
get an apologize.
Speaker 1 (32:54):
You know what, we're here.
Speaker 3 (32:56):
We're here to absorb all the frustration of sleeve of
voters because you're our family, sleeve of voters, You're our family.
I love you all, okay, And I know it's a set.
Speaker 1 (33:08):
You know, our.
Speaker 2 (33:09):
Point one percent of the vote, Buck seven point This
is like losing sixty three to three.
Speaker 3 (33:17):
Clay is having a little more fun with that than I.
All right, by the way, that's Clay. I'm Buck this.
I don't know who the Travis thing is that they're
setting email in all right. At a time when prices
are high on everything big issue in politics, pure talk
continues to hold their price on monthly service. It's been
that way since we started relying on pure Talk four
plus years ago. If you want a way to save
money every month without sacrificing quality and cell phone service,
(33:40):
switch over to pure Talk. It's the best value in
the wireless industry. The average sized family of four saves
over one thousand dollars a year when they switch from
big wireless companies to pure Talk because pure Talk gives
you unlimited talk, text, and plenty of data for just
twenty five bucks a month on pure Talk's lightning fast
five G network. Plus right now, they'll take an additional
fifty percent off your first month. That's immediate saving. You
(34:00):
can take immediate action on. You can keep your phone
and your number and more of your money. Dial pound
two five zero say the keywords clay and buck, and
pure Talk's US customer service team will switch you over
in as little as ten minutes. Plus say fifty percent
off your first month. Dial pound two five zero say
Clay and Buck to switch to America's wireless company, pure Talk.

speed find it on the iHeartRadio app or wherever you

Speaker 1 (34:36):
All right, welcome back into Clay and Buck.
Speaker 3 (34:38):
We got Danny and Staten Island, the Staten Islands, an
island of sanity in a sea of madness in this election.
Thanks for being with us, Danny, what's going on? What
do you want to tell us?
Speaker 4 (34:48):
You got it? Guys. Thanks. I love your show. You
guys are great Americans. Thanks for everything you do. Yeah,
all right, we expected this, but now that it's here,
I mean, I've had both seat out the Gulf of
Florida for a while now, but now it's all the now.
I just got to hold my cousin that lives down
there in Tampa, and I'm like, probably gonna head down
there this weekend and check out some properties.
Speaker 3 (35:07):
Because you're doing Gulf Coast, You're gonna go Golf Coast,
not Atlantic Coast.
Speaker 4 (35:10):
And I love the East Coast. I love the East Coast,
but I just have a fondness for the West Coast.
I just so something about it.
Speaker 2 (35:15):
This was the I mean tippic point you said you've had.
You've been thinking about it for a while. But if
Mam Donnie had lost, you wouldn't have gone like this
to you. Was just like the straw that breaks the
proverbial camel's back on New York for you.
Speaker 4 (35:29):
Pretty much. I just I'm just standing out. We've always
mutched a beat of our own here, as you know,
we're you know, it's a little different than the rest
of the Four boroughs. You know, we don't even consider
ourselves paut of here.
Speaker 1 (35:37):
Yeah, you guys, you guys are playing buck Land Like.
Speaker 3 (35:40):
I walk around there with my man Joe Borelli, and
I feel like the deputy mayor or something.
Speaker 1 (35:45):
I love you people in Staten Island.
Speaker 4 (35:47):
Yeah, I mean, I'm born and raised. I mean, I'm
a retired fireman. I've been here, you know, my whole life.
I'm like probably a fifth generation Staten Islander. I mean,
I don't hate it, but I just you know, the
expense is here. I mean, you know, we're still living
with paycheck to paycheck here, and what am I getting?
Speaker 1 (36:01):
Yeah?
Speaker 9 (36:01):
Nothing?
Speaker 1 (36:02):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (36:02):
Well, and the problem is, right, we can all agree
that that's thank you so much for calling in, Danny,
and welcome to Florida.
Speaker 1 (36:09):
If you do come down here, you're gonna love it.
I love it. I love you New Yorkers too.
Speaker 3 (36:13):
But the problem play is real expenses are very high
in New York because of people making bad decisions about
redistributive justice and regulation and government intervention and taxation.
Speaker 1 (36:28):
They're making it all worse.
Speaker 3 (36:30):
Well, and they just elected somebody who's gonna go and
triple down in that area.
Speaker 2 (36:34):
My concern is, whatever happens, even if it's bad, you
know what they're gonna do.
Speaker 1 (36:39):
Buck, Yeah, of course, yeah. We'll talk more about that.
Speaker 3 (36:43):
Also, the ag race in Virginia, we haven't talked about it.
We will because something very upsetting from that one. We'll
discuss
