Summary

The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show: Daily Review – October 20, 2025

Episode Overview

Clay Travis and Buck Sexton break down the latest headlines in politics and current events, focusing primarily on the aftermath of recent "No Kings" protests against President Trump, the dynamics of the New York City mayoral race, and the growing cultural rift in America. With a blend of sharp analysis and trademark humor, Clay and Buck guide listeners through what they consider misguided opposition protests, the shifting political landscape in major Democratic cities, and the disillusionment among some American liberals.

Major Themes & Discussion Points

1. The "No Kings" Protest — Cultural & Political Fallout

• Clay and Buck open by mocking the "No Kings" protest, describing it as ineffective and emblematic of a broken anti-Trump movement.

  “Congratulations to all of the No Kings protesters. You succeeded. Trump is still not a king.”
  — Clay Travis (03:00)

• They argue the protest was largely attended by older white liberals, whom they characterize as out-of-touch and attempting to relive their 1960s protest youth.

• Buck notes the "resistance" brand has faded, likening the movement to outdated hashtags and diminishing relevance.

  “It’s just weak. ... It’s sad. This is, to me, Clay, the expansion of what we saw at the anti-inauguration protest, which was a bunch of people that don’t even really know why they’re there. They’re just upset and want to be around other upset people.”
  — Buck Sexton (07:28)

• Both hosts insist Trump's political opposition is increasingly desperate and that protests now feel “pathetic and bedraggled.”

• They feature humor by comparing the protest to a hypothetical “No purple sky protest” (05:30), and suggest the only real response would be to plan a Trump 2028 rally simply to troll opponents.

2. Generational Divide and Protest Motivation

• Clay and Buck point out the generational shift in protest energy, with current activist gatherings skewing much older than the youth-driven movements of the 1960s (10:55).

• Attendance at the "No Kings" protest is mocked as dominated by “boomers trying to relive the glory of the '60s,” with little real purpose or youthful drive.

  “These People picked their team in the 1960s, and they don’t even realize that they now are the opposite of the protests they had then. ... They are now protesting in favor of big government and in favor of all the things that—Censorship.”
  — Clay & Buck (11:41)

3. Trump’s Response and the State of Resistance

• The podcast highlights comments from President Trump, who dismisses the protest and his supposed "king" status.

  “I’m not a king. I work my ass off to make our country great. That’s all it is. I’m not a king at all.”
  — Donald Trump, via Clay Travis (13:12)

• Buck frames Trump’s rising approval and political success as evidence the anti-Trump resistance is “broken everywhere but the judiciary.” (14:18)

4. New York City Mayoral Race: The Leftward Shift

• Clay and Buck shift focus to the New York City mayoral election, discussing the rising candidacy of 'Mamdani', depicted as a far-left radical with potential controversial alliances.

• The hosts debate the consequences of a Mamdani victory, both for the city and for national politics, expressing skepticism that he could actually enact his most radical policies.

  “I think Mamdani is a glib, articulate, likable, charismatic voice that will actually be a very poor and ineffective mayor.”
  — Clay Travis (27:10)

• Discussion includes speculation that Democratic figures like AOC or Gavin Newsom may secretly welcome losses in 2026 to strengthen their own future candidacies (34:15).

5. Call-Ins and Listener Reactions

• Several callers weigh in, particularly on the implication that New Yorkers deserve to “feel the consequences” of their electoral choices.

  “New York City cannot be bailed out by Republicans. ... New York City needs no sympathy from us.”
  — Jerry (44:51, caller)

• Buck and Clay joke about the mass exodus of New Yorkers to places like Florida and Tennessee, with emphasis on shifting tax burdens and the irritation of long-term residents (29:08).

• Lively discussion is had about whether Republican candidates should step aside to prevent splitting the vote, with hosts generally dismissing the logic for an all-out, unwinnable GOP campaign in NYC (41:58).

6. Broader Reflections and Culture War

• Clay shares a personal anecdote about how modern protest movements contrast with everyday American priorities, recounting his own derailed weekend by family responsibility (cell phone mishap) versus protester priorities (60:50).

• The hosts express grave concern over the tone in American cultural conflicts, citing a viral incident of a Chicago elementary school teacher allegedly miming violence against conservative figure Charlie Kirk.

  “How in the world can we live alongside of people that celebrate assassinations like this in public?”
  — Clay Travis (68:08)

• They lament a decline in civil discourse and warning signs of unbridgeable polarization.

[Buck Sexton]

Welcome in Monday Edition. Clay Travis Buck Sexton show. We hope all of you had fantastic weekends. We are off and running with a brand new week. President Trump is in the White House right now having a meeting with the Australian prime Minister and taking questions from reporters as we are beginning the program. He is Congratulations to all of the no Kings protesters. You succeeded. Trump is still not a king. So everyone out there who spent their weekend wasting a beautiful fall Saturday to protest, you have had tremendous success. You have managed to ensure that President Trump is not, in fact, a king. And you have reiterated the fact that we won the Revolutionary War in 1783 and once and for all kicked the King to the curb. This is. I think we could have some fun with this right off the jump. Buck. I. So let me give you a little bit. Remember I said I bet that the momentum to get the government shut down, to the extent that people are worried about the government shut down, that it would drastically change as soon as the no Kings protest was over. There is now evidently a lot of momentum for the government shutdown to be ended. They may drag it on through the elections if they think they get some form of benefit in Virginia, New Jersey or New York City over the government shutdown. But there now is momentum that there may be a resolution there. And I think this was to a large extent just the Chuck Schumers and Hakeem Jeffries of the world knowing that a no Kings protest was coming. If they bent the knee to King Trump before the protest, it would have stripped whatever modicum of energy might still have existed in these mostly old white people protests. That looks frankly quite pathetic and bedraggled, as we said when we went to the drove through the protest in the cold rain in January of 2025 as Trump was preparing to be inaugurated. So all of this feels like a big nothing burger, so to speak. But they are arguing. Oh my goodness, this is amazing. What was your takeaway? We did Fox News together on Saturday morning right before the no Kings protest took off with our friend Kayleigh McEnany. But the whole thing is just, it just feels desperate. And every time they do one of these protests, they feel less efficient and less effective and just make me feel sad for the protesters more than anything else.

[Clay Travis]

Well, this just shows you where the state of things currently lies. They are really ineffective at coming up with some something that sounds cool and has teeth behind it. So much so that they're doing this thing that you, you ask yourself immediately, what is the point of this? If there was a no purple sky protest, you would say to yourself, right.

[Buck Sexton]

Yeah, big, big success.

[Clay Travis]

We're, we're good. Like, we've got that covered. Trump is obviously not a king. This sounds very emotionally erratic and unstable. This whole notion of Donald Trump as a monarch. They have a guy here who is constantly having to go to court to deal with this federal judge or that federal judge. You got the government shut down because of what Congress is doing. There is no reason for people to act like this. Although I really do believe the only proper response to the no Kings protest would be to have Trump 2028 rallies. Not that I actually think Trump is going to run in 28, but it'll just really dig in more to these lunatics. This is, this is one of these times where they can't even find what the primary issue is or they can't come up with what they are most upset about. So they've just created this. You know, it reminds me like the women's march.

[Buck Sexton]

Yeah, right, yeah.

[Clay Travis]

The women's march was really just code for like abortion. And also like a lot of like feminists who hate Trump because he's clearly not, you know, Trump is not someone the feminists are going to be particularly fond of. And then there was a hashtag resistance for a while, but everyone stopped using hashtags.

[Buck Sexton]

Really?

[Clay Travis]

You don't even really. I don't see them on social media anymore. They're too annoying. People don't use them. So hashtag resistance wasn't really good. Black Lives Matter was a statement of the obvious. And true that was effective in its time because of the emotional manipulation that they were able to put behind it. But this just, it's just weak. It's sad. This is, to me, Clay, the expansion of what we saw at the anti inauguration protest, which was a bunch of people that don't even really know why they're there. They're just upset and they want to be around other upset people. It was really a loser fest.

[Buck Sexton]

Yes.

[Clay Travis]

And actually a lot of sad exclamation point is what you feel when you see this. Because also what's the great purpose of this mobilization? So that maybe they can take a midterm advantage and they'll be able to get the House and they'll probably impeach Trump for the third time. It'll be the third. Third time. That's it. I mean, Trump's not going to be president all that much longer. They should maybe come up with, why does the rational part of the country think that the Democrat party is insane? And how can they stop being so crazy instead of these very silly and self indulgent protests? They're all very childish.

[Buck Sexton]

Yeah. And frankly, I mean, you said what Joe Rogan said, and I'll play cut Nine here in a sec. But you know what's interesting more than anything else is I think, and I tweeted something because I just, I can't imagine. And I understand that not all of you are college football diehards like I am. But. But I do think it is a sign of where we are in America. Whatever your part of the country that you're listening to us or watching us in. Right now is mid October is maybe the greatest time of the year. The weather tends to be really good almost everywhere. We're getting close to Halloween. It's the fall season kind of starting to kick off in earnest. To give up a beautiful Saturday to go walk around and protest a democratically elected president 11 months ago when he won the landslide election. I just. And I watched the videos because I was genuinely curious who's going to show up. There is just a segment, I would say, of people age 50 to 75, primarily who Trump is just broken.

[Clay Travis]

Well, this is boomers. A lot of boomers who are trying to relive the perceived glory of the 60s.

[Buck Sexton]

Yes.

[Clay Travis]

That's really what this is. And a lot of this stuff you see with this, the left has a protest culture. Yeah. I've been to many of these protests to cover them or to take photos and video of what they're doing. And they, they, they really feel the need. The same way that your annoying liberal aunt at Thanksgiving is going to feel the need to give you her very uninformed opinions on politics. Even when you just want to have some stuffing and, like, go home, you don't want to deal with it. These particular, these libs of the kind that we're talking about really think that showing up and being a, quote, part of something like this is some profound statement of their own worth and importance. And it's, it's actually just sad. They should have gone to a college. If I. I'm not even a big college football guy.

[Buck Sexton]

Yes.

[Clay Travis]

If I had the choice to go into any college football game in America or one of these protests, it's 100 times more fun, enjoyable, and worthwhile to go to a college football game.

[Buck Sexton]

Amen. Even though Alabama kicked Tennessee's ass, which is really unfortunate, I will say also, you hit on it in the 1960s. The energy for protests came from young people. And those of you who lived through the 1960s remind, remember that. Well, the vast majority of people at the no Kings protest were over the age of 65. And I do think there's an element of what you're saying, Buck, which is these People picked their team in the 1960s, and they don't even realize that they now are the opposite of the protests that they were having in the 1960s. They are now protesting in favor of big government and in favor of all of the things that.

[Clay Travis]

Censorship.

[Buck Sexton]

Censorship.

[Clay Travis]

In favor of censorship.

[Buck Sexton]

Yeah, that's right. And so that is an irony. Here's Joe Rogan pointing out that the no Kings protesters, 99% of them are losers.

[Clay Travis]

All those people that are protesting on the streets, 99% of them are losers. The other ones work for the Fed. FBI agents, losers. That's all it is. The whole every protest, dude, is FBI agents and losers. I talk about this all the time. I'm like, for me, you want me to join a protest? You want me to get out on the street, first of all, to make a sign out here, and then you don't have to make the sign. There's. There's a guy with a van who's paid by George Soros and he's got stats signs that were made at Kinko's. Okay? They're not homemade at all. And you just, just pass those bad boys out.

[Buck Sexton]

It is very funny. They are complete losers and they wasted it. Fall Saturday. And here is President Trump, who was asked about it. Cut one. I'm not a king. I'm working my ass off to make our country great. This was on Air Force One yesterday, over the weekend, the new king's prime minister.

[Clay Travis]

I think it's a joke. I looked at the people. They're not representative of this country. And I looked at all the brand new signs. Paid for. I guess it was paid for by Soros and other radical left lunatics. It looks like it was. Checking it out. The demonstrations were very small, very ineffective, and the people were whacked out. When you look at those people, those are not representative of the people of our country.

[Buck Sexton]

Mr. President, besides San Francisco, I'm not a king.

[Clay Travis]

I'm not a king. I work my ass off to make our country great. That's all it is. I'm not a king at all.

[Buck Sexton]

So Trump is not a king. They were successful. If their goal was to stop a king from being in power, isn't this.

[Clay Travis]

Also really an admission, though, that Trump politically has defeated them?

[Buck Sexton]

Yes.

[Clay Travis]

If you're concerned with a president who has been elected twice, despite all of your efforts to stop both of those from happening, if your concern is this idea that now he's president for life and therefore more like a king, I think they're just. They're recognizing that they did everything they could to stop Donald Trump from being president for eight years and they failed. So now they create this. It's like Don Quixote tilting at windmills. They create this fantasy in their minds of, well, now our great cause, Clay, is to stop him from being president for life.

[Buck Sexton]

Yes.

[Clay Travis]

He's not going to be president for life, you losers. Okay, take a calm down moment here. Take a chill pill. As we used to say in the 90s, relax. Well, they can't because that would make them think about what they're actually doing with their life.

[Buck Sexton]

I think it also is embodies the fact that the Trump resistance is effectively broken everywhere. But the judiciary. The judiciary is constantly making rulings to try to take away President Trump's power. And that's why much of the discussion that we have about what Trump can and cannot do is not about what the Democrat Party is trying to stop him from doing. It's what is some unelected federal district court judge doing when they're trying to say, hey, the President doesn't have power to order this or take that action. And it just kind of feels increasingly pathetic. And Trump, according to many different polls that I have seen out there, is at right now probably his strongest political position in terms of approval that he has had during the course of his presidency. We really haven't seen any weakening at all as we come up on the one year anniversary of his election in 2024. And he's having one of the most, I think, effective presidencies, first years that we've ever seen in the history of the country. We'll take some of your calls. We'll break all this down. I am up in New York City. We'll talk some about the New York City mayor's race, Buck, which is increasingly. There's new polling out basically showing if Curtis Sliwa stays in the race, that Mamdani is going to win. If he were to drop out, maybe Cuomo could give him a run. That's what the latest polling is reflecting. But in the gambling markets out there, the prediction markets, Mamdani has surged to an all time high. There is this morning, Buck, I was doing research and reading this this morning. Now a 92% chance, 92% chance. In the prediction markets. You can put your own money if you disagree with it, that Mamdani is going to be elected the mayor of New York City. We'll talk about that. In the meantime, massive data breach occurred earlier this month. One billion. That's billion with a B. Customer records were stolen from a Salesforce database of 39 companies. Disney, Qantas, McDonald's, Aeromexico were among the companies that faced ransom demands from a well known online hacker group earlier this month.

Second hour of play and Buck and let's dive into, I think, the election that's getting more attention coming up here in a few weeks than any other, and that is New York City mayor. I understand for a lot of you, you're thinking, not my problem. Well, let's just put this into context. Very likely that if it is, in fact, a mom. Donnie. I know, Clay. We were on Kaylee's show this weekend, and it's funny. Clay does plays like, hey, I'm not trying to tell New Yorkers that they just need to suffer for the benefit of the rest of the country, but I'm kind of telling them they need to suffer for the benefit of the truth. You know, this is exactly where I. I do not. I am hopeful that things will turn around here somehow, although I'm not going to lie to you guys. I don't have a great idea of what that would be because Cuomo is also awful. He's not a communist, but he is a very, very bad, authoritarian Democrat. He's. He is more on the pro business side and less radical leftist in his ideology. But he was. I rem. I lived in New York during COVID And I lived in New York during the jailbreak stuff that he pushed in Albany. You know, no, no bail, no jail, all that. And the guy was a. He was a disaster. It's not even. I couldn't even tell you that Cuomo was okay. He was awful. And he also has a reputation for being the meanest person in New York politics. I can't speak to that personally, but I have heard that from numerous people that he's a really nasty guy. Is if you cross him. Yeah, he's one of these guys who.

[Buck Sexton]

Like a Mafia don, basically.

[Clay Travis]

That's exactly right. If you cross him, he's going to get you back, and he's going to get you back really badly, even if you cross him on minor stuff. So that's his reputation. But on the other side. Yeah, we got Mamdani. And here you have. Here you have Trump weighing in on the Mamdani situation. This is cut four. Play it. Do you think Shep wins something like this so close to the election? Oh, I think it's a shame that that particular man is endorsing him and very friendly with him. You can see there's a relationship. He blew up the World Trade Center. Right. Didn't the man you're talking about blow up the World Trade Center? And he's friends with Mandami. All right, Clay, let me just give some backstory here. So everybody knows what Trump's Talking about. Mamdani was just campaigning this weekend with a quote, notorious gay hating Brooklyn imam who is an unindicted co conspirator in the 1993 World Trade center bombing and who has been linked to other terrorist activity in the United States, including urging jihad on the Big Apple. Mamdani is the frontrunner to be the governor. He was standing arm in arm with Siraj Wahaj, the imam at the Bedford Stuyvesant Mosque in a photo posted on X. And there you have that. So, Clay, this guy is palling around with a radical pro jihad imam and Trump is calling this one out. And I'm not even, I don't even know that being pro jihad is in the top three worst things about this guy in terms of what he's going to do to New York City. Because I think that the list is very long and I just wonder how the Democrats are going to, are going to spin this thing. People are saying, well, what if Sliwa drops out? If Sliwa drops out, it is within striking distance. It is within the polling margin of error. If Sliwa stays in, Mamdani wins. So what to do? What to. This is what you and I were talking to Kaylee about and you were just like, burn it all down. Sorry, Big Apple, but I was trying to be constructive.

[Buck Sexton]

Look, I'm in New York right now. It's a great city. We have to leave it behind and, and the rest of the country just has to, just has to move on. I think that Mamdani is going to win. And when Mom Donnie wins, there's a reason Hakeem Jeffries and Chuck Schumer have refused to endorse him. He is going to become a communist, one of the front facing elements of the Democrat Party going forward. I don't think that AOC or KAMI Mamdani are the people that the Democrats want to be the face of their party. I think that that will become the reality and I think the nation as a whole will benefit because the House and the Senate will remain in Republican control. And I also think this is what you said on Kayleigh and you've said it on the program quite a lot too. Buck, I do think that you are true, you are correct on this. I think Mamdani is a glib, articulate, likable, charismatic voice that will actually be a very poor and ineffective mayor. Meaning that many of the things that he wants to do or that he talks about doing, he'll just be simply incapable of doing it. And let me give you an example of an example. There's no way the city of New York is going to open grocery stores, right? This whole idea that suddenly you're going to save money because instead of the hardworking people who are busting their asses to compete every single day in New York in the grocery market, that the city of New York is somehow going to be more efficient, effective and cost controlling of, of, of producers in New York is crazy. And so there's no way some of this stuff is ever going to happen. It's just kind of Reddit fantasies where leftists sit around and say, well, maybe we should just have grocery stores instead of the grocery companies and then everybody can save money. So I think he's going to be inefficient. And if he leaves Jessica Tisch in charge of crime in New York City, I think she's actually doing a good job. And so my thought is in general that he'll be awful but so incapable of putting into place the policies that he wants to put into place that it will be hard for him to make New York that much worse than it is now. I do think a lot of New Yorkers, though, are looking around and saying, well, why do I want to live here anymore? Sean Hannity gonna be on right after us. Buck Sexton on with me right now. Guys who lived in the New York City area, born and raised, Buck, and just said, you know what, Florida's better. I'm gonna move. I think it's gonna be really good for high end Florida pricing. I'm telling you, Tennessee to Texas. I found out the other day one of my new neighbors coming in from New York, hedge fund guy just said, I'm done with it. I'm not going to continue here. I'm going to go where I don't.

[Clay Travis]

Have state income tax, just the Panhandle is where all you rich New Yorkers want to go. Miami. Miami beach is full, okay? Everything is too expensive here already. So Clay can get you great deals. Waterfront, my friends, waterfront in the Panhandle. Go check that out because we're good over here now. We've already got the infrastructure problems that now I've been here three years and I'm already, I'm like these New Yorkers coming down into my mind.

[Buck Sexton]

It is very funny. As soon as you move somewhere new, you want to immediately pull up the bridge. You're like, there's way too, there's way too many people moving in here now.

[Clay Travis]

This is what keeps saying where I.

[Buck Sexton]

Am in Tennessee now, everybody suddenly like six months after they get here, they're like, we got to stop all these Californians and New Yorkers and Chicagoans from coming down here. What do they think they are? He's like, you've been here six months, buddy. You're one of them.

[Clay Travis]

Gary has to, has to stop me. Sometimes we go for walks around the neighborhood and there's so much money going into new construction, new houses being built around here. Right now we'll be with, out in a beautiful sunny day with Ginger and I look at some massive construction site, residential, you know, just be like these New Yorkers just, just crowding, crowding our coffee shops, crowding our parking, you know. Yeah, I've been here three years and already I'm, I'm in that category. So, yes, I says, by the way, you know what's actually, this is real. The attitudes of legal immigrants to illegal immigrants, for example, mirror this. Where illegal immigrants, I mean, sorry, legal immigrants are like, you tell those illegal immigrants to go home and do it the right way, buddy. Like, they are very, a lot of times very stringent.

[Buck Sexton]

Well, I think this is why Democrats got wrong. They thought that Trump's, you know, anti illegal immigration stance would play poorly with legal immigrants. And boy, were they ever wrong on that because legal immigrants know how hard it is to get here legally. And so when you see people cutting the line, you actually get way more frustrated with American immigration policy. The fact that you had to play it right, you had to for years, work maybe decades to get yourself here and your family members here. And then some guy walks across the southern border and the Biden administration is like, you're an American now and no, you're fed up with that too.

[Clay Travis]

You have Mamdani here defending himself after this alleged terror linked NYC imam. Here he is. They were here. He is talking about this. When this cut 25. The same imam met with Mayor Bloomberg, met with Mayor de Blasio, campaigned alongside Eric Adams. And the only time it became an issue of national attention was when I met with him. I think it's because people think that you actually are sympathetic to radical, not just left wing, but radical Islamist ideology.

[Buck Sexton]

Yes.

[Clay Travis]

And that's why no one thinks Bloomberg, no one thinks Mayor Bloomberg is big on the radical Islam or I mean.

[Buck Sexton]

Eric Adams, I mean, Eric Adams was again, I think people in New York are going to look back fondly on the Eric Adams administration, if I'm correct, and Mamdani is going to win. But Eric Adams, nobody thought, oh, Eric Adams is a sympathizer of Hamas. Eric Adams wouldn't go on Fox news, if Martha McCollum asked him and said, hey, should Hamas put down their weapons? He'd be like they should.

[Clay Travis]

There's a possibility here. There's a possibility here that we haven't really discussed, but I could foresee this. First of all, please, like we got people calling, writing in every day. We talk about Mandani and they go, why aren't you guys, you know, Sliwa, New York is 8 to 1, Democrat to Republican. OK? This is a lot of people that are willing to vote for Cuomo, are not willing to vote for a Republican and they will vote for Mandani over Sliwa. This is what you have, you have to understand, it's not, oh, if Cuomo, because people are saying, well, Cuomo should drop out. Like, if Cuomo drops out, most of those votes are going to go to Mamdani. They're not going to go to Sliwa. Ok? So that's. Do you have a lot of New York? I know New Yorkers. I am still a New Yorker in exile here in Florida with a lot of us. I wonder if Sean, we should ask Sean, our friend Sean Hannity, if he, if he still feels like he's a New Yorker in Florida or if he's gone full Floridian, you know, is he, is he.

[Buck Sexton]

Sean lived all over the country, right? So I think he's like fed up. He's been here for, he was in.

[Clay Travis]

New York for, he was in New York for at least Long island, beautiful part of Long Island.

[Buck Sexton]

30 years probably.

[Clay Travis]

30 years or something. Yeah. I think at that point you're, you can say, consider yourself a New York guy, but because I still, I still feel like a New Yorker who lives in Florida. Except for tax purposes. I'm a Florida resident year round. Year round.

[Buck Sexton]

Florida. You're gonna get audited again now.

[Clay Travis]

Again. I have, I set foot in New York as rare only to see my family on holidays now because of what they do to me with the taxes. But here's okay. So here's the situation though, Clay. Maybe Mamdani comes in and he isn't as radical in the first year as a lot of people think. And then it will all be, oh, see, he's more reasonable just long enough for the Democrats to try to snatch control of the House in the midterms. And you know he's going to have a four year mom, Donnie have a four year term. If he wins, maybe he turns up the heat of the crazy town more year two, more year three. That's a Possibility. I just want to keep that out there because if he doesn't come in acting like Joseph Stalin right away, everyone's going to be like, my gosh, he's not so bad.

[Buck Sexton]

I think there's some truth to that. Here is something to think about. Remember how we discussed that Gavin Newsom was popping bubbly when Trump won because his worst case scenario was Kamala winning, and then he can't run for 12 years, basically for president?

[Clay Travis]

Yep.

[Buck Sexton]

I don't think AOC wants the Democrats to do well in 2026. Something to think about in the back of your mind. I don't think Gavin Newsom really wants him to do well. I think they want to be the solution to a problem. And if things are going better than Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries look reasonable and it makes it harder for them to win, I think they want to dial up the crazy and let Trump be successful in the midterms because it benefits them politically if Republicans have success. So my only thought on that is I think AOC runs far left wing. If it hurts the midterms, what does she care? Her seat's safe. She cares about 28. Just something to file away. How many Democrats actually, with national ambition want 2026 to be successful? I don't actually think very many of them do.

[Clay Travis]

I also think the Democrats realize you need star power to win national elections now. Now that. That. That doesn't have to be a TV star like Trump necessarily, but you need somebody with universal name recognition, but also who. I know Biden is boring. Biden had been in the game for so long and was. Think of all the video and all the photos of Biden with Obama, Biden with Obama, Biden with Obama. That was his currency. 100% name recognition. Eight more years of the Obama administration. You need somebody who has both that name recognition, but also the branding around them. Right. It has to be a. That's why I think, like, your guy. I never even remember his name. The. You know, the jerk from the governor of Kentucky. Right.

[Buck Sexton]

Andy Beshear.

[Clay Travis]

Andy Beshear. Nah. Nobody knows who this guy is. Can't do it. He's not interesting enough.

[Buck Sexton]

Can't do it.

[Clay Travis]

People say, oh, we're going to have a moderate Democrat like Andy Beshear is the nominee. Nah. Doesn't get enough sizzle on social media.

[Buck Sexton]

Guy's too boring, too bland, I think. But remember what they did with Joe Biden.

[Clay Travis]

But this is what I'm saying. Joe Biden, Clay was. Was Obama's wingman. For eight years, everybody knew who Joe Biden was. Annie Bashir. I don't even know what Andy Bashir looks like, except I probably saw him at the no Kings rally. If I look closely. All right, look. If you pay attention to the increasing values of precious metals, gold and silver in particular, you're thinking it's now time to purchase gold for the first time. Perhaps Birch Gold Group is going to make you this offer. Buy gold from them this month and get free silver for every $5,000 purchased from Birch Gold Group this month in advance of Veterans Day, they'll send you a free patriotic silver round that includes the American and Gadsden flags on it.

[Clay Travis]

All right, welcome back into Clay and Buck. We got a lot of lines lit. I think Clay has touched the nerve in the five boroughs and beyond the tri state area with his maybe, maybe Democrat areas have to learn a painful lesson. But Clay, we have to remember we have all these beautiful Republicans. Beautiful Republicans who listen to us in the Tri State, beautiful Republicans who listen to us in California.

[Buck Sexton]

I don't. We don't.

[Clay Travis]

I love women behind on the battlefield.

[Buck Sexton]

I love them all. But you know, a lot of them moved to Westchester. A lot of them are listening on Long island and and a lot more of them. I think you're going to be listening outside New York City when Mamdani is elected in the city so slowly sinks beneath the wave of communism and people with money decide. You know what, there's a lot of places where I can live very well. Texas, Tennessee, Florida among them, where I don't have to pay 15% of my money in state taxes, with Mamdani pledging to raise the taxes even more. But a ton of people want to weigh in. We got loaded lines again. The mayor's race is 15 days. Am I right about that? 15 days from now is the official race. Curiously, what we should say, I'll just echo, he should drop out. If as long as he stays in the race, Momdani is basically 100% going to win this election. Not saying I'm rude.

[Clay Travis]

Clay is going here next. He's going to tell you the pastrami at Katz's Delicatessen is overrated. Central park is not that beautiful in the fall. I mean, he's really, you know, he's, he's being rough. He's been rough on New York.

[Buck Sexton]

Right now I'm being rough, rough on New York, but being very kind to the rest of the country because we'll all benefit on New York. Sinking beneath the waves of communism.

[Clay Travis]

Kevin in Wisconsin wants to weigh in on this one. What's going on, Kevin? Hey, thanks for taking my call. I just want to know when and why did Clay and Buck turn into every other weak kneed Republican elite that won't even enter a fight when it comes to mayoral other, you know, important, you know, elections?

[Buck Sexton]

So what should. Okay, Kevin, what would a strong need. Is that a good thing? What would a strong need Republican show be saying right now to you?

[Clay Travis]

Well, right now, at first you should have gotten behind Sleewa to begin with, but right now you would definitely be saying that Cuomo needs to drop out because he knows he can't win.

[Buck Sexton]

Kevin, I could give, I could give Curtis Lewa $10 million tomorrow, more than anybody has given him probably for his campaign in the history of his primary runs, in the history of his political career. And he would still lose by 30 points, maybe 40.

[Clay Travis]

But at least it'd be a fair fight. There is a. I don't.

[Buck Sexton]

How is it a fair fight? Like, if you support someone who gets their ass kicked and makes it worse for everybody else, how is that a strong thing to do?

[Clay Travis]

Well, it's okay, so let's concede that maybe New York is lost, but there is a way.

[Buck Sexton]

Well, now you agree with me. This is what I'm saying.

[Clay Travis]

There is a way you can redeem yourself. There is other elections to where we have socialists that are running that might win. And with the. Kevin, Kevin, you're very far away in Wisconsin. I'm Just wondering, why is this get. Why this got you so fired up. Were you a former New Yorker? I myself am supporting someone who's running for mayor in Minneapolis, even though I don't even live in the state, who happens to be the only conservative running against 15 other candidates, where we have Omar Pateh, who is another Democratic socialist in the same line as Mandani, who could very well win this race. You're the hero of hopeless causes. This is kind of where we are in this case. I'm saying that he's not a hopeless cause. I think he's got the best shot.

[Buck Sexton]

He has a zero. Let me just be Kevin. He has a zero percent chance of winning. He has as much chance of being elected mayor of New York City as I do of being super bowl mvp.

[Clay Travis]

I'll make a bet with you.

[Buck Sexton]

Okay.

[Clay Travis]

All right. We'll do a dinner. All right. I can't quite go on the same line of dinners that you two seem to be able to afford, but I'll do a steak dinner with you. That Laverne Turner, an independent candidate for mayor in Minneapolis, all right. Will win this election because they happen to have ranked choice voting. And this time around, it will favor Laverne.

[Buck Sexton]

Okay. I appreciate the call. I will. I have no idea who Laverne and Shirley, you might have welled. I can't make a bet on someone I don't even know. Thank you for the call. I. I don't. Kevin was everywhere, all over the place. I will admit I do not know a lot about the new. The Minneapolis mayor's race. I did look it up while we were talking, and the crazy guy who knelt at the George Floyd funeral, the sort of curly haired white guy, he is an overwhelming. Jacob Frey, he is an overwhelming favorite to be reelected mayor. So.

[Clay Travis]

Also known as. Also known as. He's going to win again.

[Buck Sexton]

Yes.

[Clay Travis]

And I didn't know this. Minneapolis, guys, what is going on in your city? Shots fired calls are. We're at 4000 and they're celebrating that, down from 5000. 4000 calls about shots fired in the city of Minneapolis.

[Buck Sexton]

Oh, I mean, is this like.

[Clay Travis]

Is this like. Like Lebanon in the 80s? Like, what are you guys doing over there?

[Buck Sexton]

Oh, I mean, the city in the wake of George Floyd, tons of cops just said, I'm leaving. They're going to reelect. It appears, the dumbest human in maybe the governor's offices anywhere in the country, obviously with Tim Walls. And so I just think Minneapolis has fallen, and it's a shame because it's a nice Place.

[Clay Travis]

What a. What craziness that is. Really.

[Buck Sexton]

Okay, we got more people who are fired up.

[Clay Travis]

Jerry in Jersey. Jerry in Jersey's angry he's not inviting you to Satriel's. Clay, you're off the list. What's going on, Jerry? Yeah, hey, guys, thanks for taking my call. You know, the demands for Curtis to leave the race is absurd once you think about it. Because Democrats elected a communist Muslim in.

[Buck Sexton]

Their primary, and they nominated him to.

[Clay Travis]

Leave the city, and now they're getting scared of the communist Muslim, and they want Republicans to bail them out and help them elect a guy who's only a granny killer. He doesn't. He's not actually a communist.

[Buck Sexton]

Jerry, I'm with you. This is why we don't need to save New York. We just let it go underwater. And the rest of the country benefits 100% Clay.

[Clay Travis]

100%. You know, new York City cannot be bailed out by Republicans. It won't serve them well. Imagine, guys, if Republicans elect, I'm nominated an awful Republican. And then Republicans turned to Democrats and said, hey, your guy got to get out because we want to elect our Republican. Imagine how that would go. So New York City needs no sympathy from us.

[Buck Sexton]

Thank you for the call, Jerry.

[Clay Travis]

Jerry in Jersey is looking across the Hudson river with glee at what is about to happen to my beloved New York City. Okay, this is making me sad.

[Buck Sexton]

Damn it.

[Clay Travis]

I think Jerry. Jerry has been stuck in Lincoln Tunnel traffic one time too many. He's like, you know what? I'm done.

[Buck Sexton]

He's making a good decision. Damon used to live in New York City. Damon, you're with me. Just let New York City sink underneath the waves of communism.

[Clay Travis]

You know, Buck, you should tell Clay that if this guy takes over New York City, there's no more Del Friscos.

[Buck Sexton]

Man, oh, man, that's a great spot. I would. I. If they start charging more for my stakes at Del Frisco's, then I'll be in trouble. Damon, what do you think should happen?

[Clay Travis]

Here's the thing. New York City has turned into most of, like your. Your European Socialist countries where there's. There's two parties, there's the left, and then there's the ultra left. I mean, I hate to say it as. As an ex New Yorker and army veteran conservative. You know, I bleed. I. I bleed red, white, and blue. But. But let this place go. Let us self destruct. I mean, it's.

[Buck Sexton]

There's so much history there.

[Clay Travis]

There's so much.

[Buck Sexton]

You know, where's the Steinbrenner? Family.

[Clay Travis]

I mean, where are they to say to. They need to not come out. They need to come out and not endorse this guy?

[Buck Sexton]

Hey, they're not in the playoffs, I'll tell you that. Damon. Sorry Yankee fans. I'm really teeing off on New York today. Louise in Long Island. Louise, what do you think?

[Clay Travis]

Hi, thank you for taking my call. I'm looking at this a little differently in terms of the Mondami race. Everybody's focused on the final finances. But my question is, is he going to do things like introduce Sharia law in certain areas of the city? Is he going to allow foreigners come in and invest in property to change the aspect of the city? I mean, I'm just curious. Okay, there's a, there's a few, there's a few things. I'm the one who's lived in New York, so I'll step in here. Clay. Excuse me, Excuse me, sir. You with all of your.

[Buck Sexton]

Hey, I'm very comfortable with the city going under the water.

[Clay Travis]

So, so, so to our caller's questions, one is you have to remember that the mayor of New York City, New York, still operates within New York. New York City operates within New York State. And so there are things that go beyond what just the city can do that would conflict with say state law, which, which you can't, which you can't have. And so you also have a city council and laws to be changed would have to be changed even at the city level and the city council. So there's some things that Mamdani is not capable of doing that he has talked about legally. There are other things that I think he will not be able to do logistically or bureaucratically. He won't be able to figure out how to get the things done that he wants to get done. So I wouldn't worry about that. And New York already has a tremendous amount of like foreign investment from all over the world. It's actually the New York City high end real estate market has been a place where oligarchs from Russia and China and wherever have been stashing cash for going on 30 years now. So that's not, that's nothing new. But you have a tremendous, I've seen some, some recent data, Clay, that something like 30 or 40% of the public housing in New York City, which is substantial, is people that won't warrant born in America. So you have a massive foreign born population not just in New York City, but living in subsidized housing in New York City.

[Buck Sexton]

One thing Luis hit On that I do think is interesting. And we'll take some more of your calls on this to close out the hour. Sharia law, the disconnect between left wing support for people like Mamdani and for sort of the Palestinian cause. This is an unholy alliance of epic proportions because as we've joked about for some time, I think I even offered to fund an airplane to fly the gays to Gaza to protest in favor of, in favor of Hamas in Gaza just to see how it would go. They throw you off buildings and behead you if you are gay in many of these countries under Sharia law. So the people walking around with pride flags saying Free, Free Palestine, their brains are so broken, I can't even comprehend the arguments that they're making. But on Louise's point, Buck, they don't want to actually do that because that would force, meaning start to put in place Sharia law and say, hey, if you're a girl, you can't get an education after 8th grade. Which is basically, I think what now is the law in Afghanistan now the Taliban has taken back over. If that is to happen, then it will force that cognitive dissonance to be explored and exploded. Where you point out, wait a minute, these people are actually completely the antithesis of what the left in this country tries to argue. And it's why this identity politics coalition, I think, on the left is ultimately unmanageable in the years ahead. I think you started to see it fracturing with Trump. I think it's an unholy alliance that cannot continue.

[Clay Travis]

Let's talk about preborn here. Every single day in America, we lose thousands of babies to abortion and one in four pregnancies is ending in abortion. So that's a statistic that the pro life community wants desperately to change. And it can be achieved by supporting the work being done every day at the preborn network of clinics. The team at preborn clinics are on the front lines. They meet pregnant mothers in their darkest hours, especially those who are leaning toward a decision about whether to abort or give life to their unborn baby. And preborn always offers them a better alternative. Love, acceptance, understanding and support. This year alone, well, more than 40,000 babies have been rescued by preborn's efforts. This all starts with a free ultrasound for mom to meet the tiny baby in her womb so she can create that godly connection between mother and child. That simple moment when a mother sees her baby and hears the heartbeat. It's a game changer and it literally doubles a baby's chance at Life. So would you please consider making a tax deductible donation to Preborn to sponsor one of these ultrasounds? $28 would provide a life saving ultrasound. Go to preborn.com buck that's preborn.com buck B U C K or dial pound 250 and say the keyword baby. That's pound 250. Say the keyword baby Together we can end the tragedy of abortion. One mother, one baby at a time. Sponsored by Preborn Two guys walk up to a mic.

Welcome back in Clay Travis, BUCK Sexton show. We thank all of you for hanging out with us. Buck is off to a doctor's appointment for the little guy. I've got you for this hour. I'm up in New York City, the land that is soon to be overrun by a communist mayor. A lot of you weighing in on that. We're going to have some fun here in that hour discussing that. A lot of different details out there. The no Kings protest landed flat over the weekend. New York City, Virginia and New Jersey inching closer to their elections 15 days from now. The French crown jewels stolen from the Louvre. We had some fun talking about that in the first hour. We'll take your calls, 800-282-2882. As we continue to break down everything going on in the world at large. But I want to start with a little bit more on the no Kings protest. Now, Buck and I did Kayleigh McEnany show on Saturday. And I said because it was striking to me as I got ready to kick back and watch college football games, what I thought was going to be all day. I've got a little funny story there for you. It struck me that we really do live in two different countries by and large. You could have decided on that October 18th, beautiful, perfect weather day in much of the country, hey, I'm gonna kick back and I'm gonna watch college football all day, as my plan was. Or you could go out and walk around and protest Kings. After Trump won a landslide election 11 months ago, and after Trump won all seven battleground states and after Trump won the biggest election victory in 40 some odd years, really going almost all the way back to 1988, if you really analyze the scope and breadth of his victory and if he did over someone who never actually even won a primary, not one person ever voted for Kamala Harris to be the nominee in 2024, which party actually embraces the idea of kingship? They rigged the election in 2016 for Hillary Clinton against Bernie Sanders. They rigged the election in 2020 for Joe Biden. When they said after Biden got swamped in Iowa and in New Hampshire, hey, everybody, go vote for Joe Biden, cuz we're terrified of Bernie Sanders being the nominee. And after they handed the nomination to Kamala Harris In 2024, when Joe Biden had to step down because he didn't have the mental or physical capacity to, did all of that happen? Wouldn't you think to yourself, boy, Democrat Party is actually the party of kings. If you're in a position of prominence, the DNC will do whatever it takes to ensure that no matter what the will of the Democrat voter might be, that Hillary Clinton's the nominee or Joe Biden is the nominee or Kamala Harris nominee. That would have to be a moment of thought. I would think, if you had a functional brain. But also just the fact that, as Joe Rogan said, I looked at the protest, I went and watched the video. Just a lot of old hippie losers. I actually felt sorry for them that you would choose to give over a beautiful day in what I think is our nation's best month to go protest against a democratically elected president. But I was also thinking about the level of evil embedded in those protests. Well, hold on, I'll get to the level of evil in a moment. I said that I thought I was going to get to just go sit on my couch and watch college football all day. Do you know what happened? I get in from doing the Fox News hit buck and I did with Kayleigh McEnany, walk inside the house. I'm all excited. I'm going to sit down and just chill, watch games. I think, hey, man, I got nothing else I got to do. Wife, as soon as I walk in, says, hey, your son. You ever notice whenever a kid does something that isn't very good, it's often described as your son or your daughter. Your son, your daughter. You know what your son did. You know what your daughter did. You know what your grandson did. You know your, it's your, you get, you take possession of the stupidity of your kids or your grandkids. You know it's not going to be good. You know what yours. Nobody ever says, you know what your son did? He got a perfect score on the sat. You know what your son did? He just sold his company for $500 million. You know what your son just did? He just, he just bought us an unbelievable second home. That's our son. That's our daughter. Or just their name. So you know what your son just did? No, it's not going to be good. He dropped his phone in the toilet. Now, thankfully, he hadn't gone to the bathroom yet, but his cell phone's not working. So I spent six hours on Saturday going to a cell phone repair shop because my 15 year old dropped his phone in the toilet. In addition to all the time that it took $200 to fix a fried battery in a phone, in addition to the six hours worth of driving around and waiting for the phone to be fixed. So I thought, hey, I'm not gonna go to the no Kings protest. But I'm just gonna kick back. I'm gonna kick my feet up. I'm gonna watch games all day instead. I spent much of Saturday trying to get a cell phone repaired. Welcome to parenthood. But so when I went back and watched yesterday as I was traveling up here to New York, I went back and I watched a bunch of the videos. I was thinking, okay, who are these people? And to a large extent, they are old people. Old people. I think Buck hit it in our 1. They're people who in the 1960s went to protests and they don't realize that the Democrat party of the 1960s or the 70s or the 80s or the 90s is not the modern day Democrat party and that they're actually the party of kings and that they're actually the party of censorship and that they're actually the party of First Amendment restrictions and all these things that I think older Democrats really don't understand because Trump has broken their brain and they don't have the ability to work through logically this process. Those people don't trouble me as much because their brains are broken. But most of them, I don't think are violent. They're just people who think that it's still the 1960s and hey, let's beat on drums and let's dance around to 1960s anthems. This is Nancy Pelosi era Democrats, right? People in the senior citizen ages. You know what video I saw, though? And I thought this is what troubles me for the country going forward. Chicago elementary school teacher. Some of y' all know what I'm just about to talk to. I'm not going to name her, but she is an elementary school teacher in Chicago. There was a group of Turning Point USA protesters that were driving, not protesters. They were just kind of driving through, taking video of the protest and this New York City, sorry, Chicago area teacher, probably around 40ish, I'm guessing, as the turning point USA people, my understanding is, are driving by. She looks at them, sees their logo and takes her hand and puts it in her throat and gleefully grinning, enjoying all of it. She celebrates clearly on camera, the assassination of Charlie Kerr, elementary school teacher in Chicago. Again, I'm not saying there's not some of these people in the senior citizen 1960s protest era Democrats trying to relive their childhood believing that they are really speaking truth to power when they're marching against Trump. The old school hippie, by and large, was not a Particularly violent person. You go back in time, the old school hippie in general. I know there are some exceptions. Most people in their 60s, 70s and 80s not going to be supremely violent. But what about that next generation? What about that woman who I think is representative of so many other people out there? Elementary school teacher at the no Kings protest, puts her finger to her throat and mimics in celebratory glee the assassination of Charlie Kirk, elementary school teacher. How many tens of thousands, maybe even hundreds of thousands of elementary school teachers that are entrusted with educating our young feel the exact same as her. And think about how often you see a story, you see a story out there. It's like, oh, this elementary school teacher, she off also, it turns out, has a job. She's got an only fans page. Fired almost immediately, right? Comes out, she's a people didn't know. But your kindergartner's cute only fan. Cute kindergarten teacher, maybe not so cutesy, has an only fans page, fired immediately. Which would you rather.

[Clay Travis]

Have?

[Buck Sexton]

I was thinking about this. There are people fired all the time at elementary schools for having inappropriate but legal jobs outside of the job that they have as an elementary school teacher, public school teacher. How is this woman not immediately fired by the city of Chicago if she had an only fans page, by the way, this chick would not give very, very many subscribers if she had an only fans paid. But if she did and that went public, the school would immediately fire her. They would say it's, we're not going to allow an educator to be posting photos on the Internet of that nature and also educating children. Immediately fired. Most people would not even blink. You wouldn't even argue she still got a job. What does it say that she could be at that only fans rally putting her finger to her throat celebrating the murder of Charlie Kirk. And right now, everybody in Chicago, public teachers, it appears, is lining up behind her and saying, we got to make sure she stays employed. That's the sickness I'm troubled by. That's where I lay around at night thinking, how in the world can we live alongside of people that celebrate assassinations like this in public that want more of us dead? That's what troubles me because I really think if Rachel Maddow had gone to some campus and gotten shot and killed, I don't think very many of you, and I hope none of you would run around in public celebrating the fact that she's dead. I think Rachel Maddow is wrong on almost every issue. I think Bernie Sanders is wrong on almost every issue. I think Elizabeth Warren is wrong on almost every issue. I would be horrified if something happened to any of them. I think Keith Olbermann is mentally unstable and actually belongs in a padded jail cell. But if somebody did something to Keith Olbermann, let's pretend that he actually left his Central park area apartment and went anywhere. I would feel awful. I certainly wouldn't celebrate it. I would condemn it. I think most of you would too. Whoever the person is on the left that is a public figure, I think most of you would say, yeah, that's wrong. And you certainly wouldn't show up at a protest and gleefully dance and celebrate that New York that that Chicago area teacher did, and people are defending her. That's a profound sickness that I legitimately worry about quite a lot as we look forward. Because if Charlie Kirk were an aberration and not representative of the root evil, then I would say, okay, this is awful, but we can grow from this. Unfortunately, the reality is they want a lot more of us dead and if it happened, they would tap dance on our graves. How in the world can that person be employed as a public school teacher? And even more troubling, how in the world can so many people be standing up and saying she should definitely keep her job? Take some of your calls. We got a lot to talk about, some much less serious than that, including the Louvre heist, which everybody's talking about. And I still can't get over France has fallen to such an extent that they can't even protect their crown jewels. Now say what you want about the battle over masculinity. It's still going on in France. Doesn't have very many masculine people. If they did, maybe they'd be able to actually protect their crown jewels. The male vitality stack at Chalk could help people at the Louvre, maybe actually have a little bit of masculinity stand up to robbers. And it could help so many people out there in blue cities, blue states. Maybe some white dudes for Kamala. Wouldn't be white dudes for Kamala if they actually had some testosterone in their life.
