Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. NYC Mayoral Race & Listener Bets

• Curtis Sliwa vs. Mamdani: Caller Josh from New York touts Curtis Sliwa’s credentials ([03:14]), referencing his leadership with the Guardian Angels during previous riots.
• Clay’s Prediction: Clay believes Sliwa will lose badly to Mamdani and wagers to wear a red beret on air and on Fox News if proven wrong ([04:31]).
  • Quote (Clay, 04:55): “I’ll do a full week of shows in Curtis’s red beret...I am open to other suggestions out there. I don’t think I’m going to look that good in a beret.”
• Humorous Banter: The beret bet segues into a playful exchange about who can pull off berets, with Buck suggesting only special forces or GI Joe can ([05:28]).
• Further Listener Input: Poll worker Jacqueline from Brooklyn ([10:20]) passionately describes high voter turnout for Sliwa and suggests the polling is skewed, as they largely survey Democrats.
  • Quote (Jacqueline, 11:23): “The polls polled 75% of Democrats. Only 30% collectively Republicans, conservatives and independents were polled. So garbage in, garbage out.”

2. Democratic Party's Branding Problems

• Semaphore Article Cited: Clay discusses a new Democrat-commissioned study showing voters see the party as “out of touch,” with left-wing rhetoric alienating the base ([20:08]).
  • Quote (Clay, 20:08): “70% of voters think the Democrat Party is, quote, out of touch…most voters believe the party over-prioritizes issues like protecting LGBTQ rights and fighting climate change while not caring about securing the border or lowering crime.”
• Loss of Focus: Discussion of the party’s decreasing mentions of “men,” “fathers,” and “responsibility” in their platform, which both hosts find significant for cultural reasons.
• Voter Reaction: Clay and Buck argue that Democrats aren’t losing because their message isn’t being heard, but because the message itself is being rejected by voters ([20:08]).

3. Rent Control & Economic Reality

• Rent Freeze Argument: Clay rails against rent freezes as “lunatic ideas” and outlines basic supply-and-demand economics ([13:55]-[16:53]).
  • Quote (Clay, 15:22): “If you want rent to come down, then you have to build more apartments and, and or kick illegals that are using these apartments out. This is very basic…The only way to drive down cost is to increase the supply of a good by and large.”
• Buck’s Case Study: Buck draws parallels to Venezuelan price controls, warning of supply shortages and declining quality as a result of interventionist policies ([16:53]-[19:41]).
  • Quote (Buck, 19:42): “No one can buy a washing machine anymore. Their shelves are empty. This is what is going on in the New York City housing market writ large.”

4. Cultural Commentary: Fatherhood’s Disappearance from Pop Culture

• Pop Culture Observation: Buck laments the lack of strong, respectable father figures in contemporary television vs. their prevalence in shows from the 80s/90s ([23:10]-[26:49]).
  • Quote (Buck, 23:49): “How many shows are there where the dad is actually somebody…there are so many things out there in entertainment where the dad is like this bumbling buffoon or is an absentee.”
• Clay’s Agreement: Clay notes his own new book touches on this trend, emphasizing today’s involved fathers are not represented in media ([25:12]).
  • Quote (Clay, 26:06): “You run through most of 80s and 90s…white and black dads that were incredibly prominent. The dads were real dads who commanded respect. We have effectively written dads out of pop culture.”

5. Identity & Demographics at Left-Wing Protests

• The “No Kings” Protest: Buck observes that middle-aged white women are the most overrepresented demographic at progressive rallies ([27:22]).
  • Quote (Buck, 27:37): “Middle aged white women, everybody. Middle aged white women.”
• Election Insights: Hosts discuss emerging demographic divides and the relevance of shifting support within the Democratic coalition.

6. 2024 Democratic Nominee Speculation & Kamala Harris

• Kamala’s Prospects: Clay and Buck react to Kamala Harris being ranked behind “Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson” in some polls for potential Democratic nominees ([33:35]-[34:40]).
  • Harris quote, 34:23: “I have lived my entire career, a life of service, and it’s in my bones. There are many ways to serve.”
• Future Candidates: Hosts rattle off possible contenders—Gavin Newsom, AOC, Pete Buttigieg, Wes Moore—with mocking asides on their viability ([36:42]-[39:16]).

7. Relationship & Prenup Advice

• Cultural Humor: A light segment covers engagement lengths, last name practices, and the growing trend of prenups, with both hosts rejecting prenups for themselves ([42:57]-[45:28]).
  • Quote (Clay, 40:34): “If one of [my sons] came to me and said dad, I am taking my new wife's last name, I would certainly not pay for the wedding. And I might take him out of the will.”

Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

• Clay’s Red Beret Bet:
  “I will do the entire…I'll do a full week of shows in Curtis's red beret. I'll get my own red beret and I will sit here and I will do the show. I will go on Fox News at least once wearing the red beret as well.” ([04:55], Clay Travis)

• On Rent Control:
  “Freezing rent is actually the most destructive thing you could do if you believe you have major issues with rent in the city. The thing I mean this is just basic economics…” ([13:55], Clay Travis)

  “You run through most of 80s and 90s…white and black dads that were incredibly prominent. The dads were real dads who commanded respect. We've completely…written dads out of pop culture.” ([26:06], Clay Travis)

Gentlemen? Tremendous show and I'm going to throw my cards right on the table. I'm supporting Curtis Lewis, the mayor of New York City. They're breaking records. The early voting. 160,000 people voted Saturday and Sunday. And Curtis Lewa, Let me just tell the people out there and you can verify this. The New York Post, June 4, 2020. Curtis Lewa and 10 of the Guardian Angels were out confronting the looters in New York City. The famous one is in front of one of the famous sneaker places. Curtis ended up with a broken jaw and one of the other guys who was not a young dude ended up with a broken eye socket and a broken nose. But let me tell the folks out there, when the sun came up that morning, Curtis Lewa and the Guardian Angels were still standing.

[Clay Travis]

Thank you for the call that we lose him there for a sec. All right, here is a fun discussion for all of you. I believe that Mamdani is going to win and I think Curtis Lewa is going to get smoked. Now he's going to make the argument to us on Wednesday. I am always willing to acknowledge that I could be wrong.

[Buck Sexton]

I also, Clay is going to basically put it to Curtis like that. Knowing Clay as well as I do, he's not going to be like, so Curtis, it's really, it's really close. So get ready.

[Clay Travis]

All right, so I think he's going to lose. What should I have to do if, if, if I am wrong? Where is Red Beret for a whole.

[Buck Sexton]

Week of this show and tweet out a photo of you with the red beret on red.

[Clay Travis]

I will. That's a good one. I will do the entire. I'll do a full week of shows in Curtis's red beret. I'll get my own red beret and I will sit here and I will do the show. I will go on Fox News at least once wearing the red beret as well. That is a good one. I am open to other suggestions out there. I don't think I just Spoiler alert. I don't think I'm going to look that good in a beret. Be to be fair, anybody really pull off the have you ever seen someone.

[Buck Sexton]

In a beret Special forces and but.

[Clay Travis]

You thought they looked better than if they didn't have the beret Flint back in the day, GI Joe.

[Buck Sexton]

I mean, yeah, dude, they look badass.

[Clay Travis]

And they look badass in the I know they're badasses. I'm just not sure that the beret is necessarily the hat where people see him in it and think everyone looks better. I will tell you, I will not look good in the beret. I will not be someone that looks very good in the beret.

[Buck Sexton]

Are you going to be painting and are you going to be twirling your mustache and speaking in French? Because then you would pull it off.

I might. I might move to Montmartre and be a painter on the hills of Paris.

Jacqueline in Brooklyn, she wants to update us. She is a poll worker in Brooklyn. What have you seen so far?

[Poll Worker Jacqueline]

Hi, Clay. Yeah, I'm actually an inspector at one of the poll sites and I worked yesterday and voter turnout was very high, as is being reported. A lot of people that came in, I didn't ask them anything. They voluntarily told me. They were so excited. Like kids in a candy store. They said, I just want to vote for mayor. I just want to vote for Curtis. I haven't voted in a long time, but I just want to vote for mayor. And I just want to vote for Curtis. So. And this also I heard from my colleagues that worked on Saturday. I'll also be working tomorrow and throughout the rest of the election and on election day as well. So do not underestimate Curtis people. You know the polls. As far as the betting websites, I understand that they use the same criteria. They rely on the information from the polls. The polls polled 75% of Democrats. Only 30% collectively Republicans, conservatives and independents were polled. So garbage in, garbage out.

[Clay Travis]

Okay, so you think I'm gonna be in a red beret?

[Poll Worker Jacqueline]

I think you should really have to come to New York and clean subway toilets when Carter swings.

[Clay Travis]

I am not. I am not. That's a great suggestion. I will not clean subway toilets. I gotta draw the lines. I can't. I can't get sick. I can't. I mean, my own health would be on the line. I have to have an important job. I have to be able to talk on the microphone. I will wear a red beret. Maybe other funny things. I don't want to do anything.

[Buck Sexton]

Maybe you would go on the subway. I'll.

[Clay Travis]

I'll be your.

[Buck Sexton]

Your bodyguard slash hype man, videoing you on the subway with your red beret and just begging forgiveness from all Curtis voters. You pass on the subway for doubting our man Curtis Sliwa for the huge come from behind victory that he has. If it happens, I want to.

[Clay Travis]

I want to hear from you. By the way, Buck, what the people who showed up at the new no Kings rally had in common. And there is a big new study that just dropped. Democrats are trying to figure out, why does everybody hate us? Seriously, they have commissioned their own study. And you're probably not going to be surprised at the results, but it is very funny to contemplate Democrats Looking at voters like they're in a zoo or something and they're trying to figure out who are these people out there. We'll have some fun with that too when we come back. Thanks for hanging with us on the Monday edition of playing Buck. Welcome in our number two Clay Travis Buck Sexton Show. We are eight days away from the official election day in New Jersey and Virginia. Virginia and in New York City. And we are discussing the crazy rally that took place in New York City surrounding Mamdani Kathy Hochul. Now we got Hakeem Jeffries endorsing Mamdani. And I want to play this one. This is aoc, AOC saying we're not crazy. They want us to think we're crazy. This is cut 5 AOC screaming at everyone while she jumps around.

[Washable Sofas Advertiser]

Listen, we must remember in a time such as this, we are not the crazy ones New York City. We are not the outlandish ones New York City. They want us to think we are crazy. We are sane.

[Clay Travis]

Yes, yes, you are all very sane. Let's talk about some of these things, Buck, that I, I, I do worry because some arguments are so dumb that I don't understand how a major political party can make them. And let me take a step back and say some things you and I disagree with in policy perspectives. But you can make a reasonable argument that you are I or wrong or that some of you out there are right or wrong. There's lots of reasonable minds can differ perspectives. Freezing rent is actually the most destructive thing you could do if you believe you have major issues with with rent in the city. The thing I mean this is just basic economics and I know a lot of you get this, but maybe your kids don't, maybe your grandkids don't and you have to succinctly kind of explain why this is a lunatic idea here is just a simple argument. It's all supply and demand. Everything in life is supply and demand. If you want rent to come down, then you have to build more apartments and, and or kick illegals that are using these apartments out. This is very basic. It is the essence of economics itself. The only way to drive down cost is to increase the supply of a good by and large. And yet they are simultaneously making it very hard to construct new housing and telling the people who do own the housing, we're going to restrict what you can charge, which means the cost is going to continue to go up for those who own these rental properties. The maintenance costs are going to continue to go up. Inflation is not stopping for Them, which means their profit margin is going to go down, which means the quality of the rental property will either decline or unfortunately, some of these properties will just be taken off the market because a landlord will throw up their hands and say, I'm losing money by renting this property out. If they have the ability to do so, they'll just pull it off the market, which will mean that rents are continuing to increase overall because the supply is declining. What? What is what, what? I don't even understand the argument that a rational human being could make that frees the rent is in any way beneficial for people. That even if you believe that rental costs are too high, I mean, you lived in New York City. I see what people have to pay for homes in New York City to rent. Just, we have to build way more homes. I mean, I don't understand how this is not the ultimate solution.

[Buck Sexton]

Okay, so there's a few things here for, for everyone I think to consider. One is this was even higher than I thought it was. If you were to just take a quick, a quick look at what the cost of new multifamily is in this country nationwide on average, and how much of that is taxes, regulations, fees, meaning not just, oh, I want to hire people and get stuff to make a home and you know, buy land, hire a construction crew, have them make it and sell it. But all the other things, estimate that I just found online, just with a quick search, clay, is 40%, 40% of the cost. I tried to find a specific New York City cost and all they can really say is that it, whatever it is, it's higher than 40%. And there are reasons for that. There are reasons for this one thing, by the way, in New York City building codes alone, building codes are 11% of the cost. Inclusionary zoning mandates are 7% of the cost. You know, you go through these things. Well, hold on a second. And another one is again, talking multifamily here, right? Because that's the only way you got to build up in New York for it to be worth worthwhile in New York City. It's very hard if, you know, you're not building like on two acres, a single family home, unless you're going to sell it for 20 million bucks. So they look at this, or rather you look at this and you find out that also the fact that New York City labor costs are so high and that there's all these union mandates for labor and you have all these things, and these are the reasons that there's not more housing supply and the Idea of freezing rent makes it worse. Give you an example of this, everybody. You could look at a lot of things that ruin the economy. I mean, Venezuela is now a failed state. Maybe it's going to get a new regime soon. It's a failed state, it's a narco trafficker state. And we don't even hear about the economy anymore. One because I think it's so hard to get real numbers. But it's been completely destroyed. One of the primary ways that Chavez and then Maduro destroyed the Venezuelan economy was price controls. Because people who are hurting and who don't have very much hear, hey, these guys are going to use government force to say that the cost of this washing machine isn't $300, it's $100. And that sounds great, right? Oh my gosh, now my watch. They mandated and only the fat cats.

[Clay Travis]

Are going to pay.

[Buck Sexton]

You know what happens, Clay? No one can buy a washing machine anymore. No one can actually. Their shelves are empty. Right? This is what is going on in the New York City housing market writ large. And yet Mamdani is about to become mayor thinking that this stuff is the answer. It is so destructive, it is so damaging and it's essentially a repudiation of the free market replaced with social justice. It's commie nonsense.

[Clay Travis]

This is also why the Democrat party's overall brand is collapsing. As we were talking Buck. The the media company Semaphore posted a a new story that I thought was pretty interesting. This is a Democrat study. Why are they so rotten? What, what is the takeaway here? Uh, and the headline is left wing ideas have wrecked Democrats brand new report warned. And this is the Democrat Party's own study. Um, Democrats have badly weakened their party with left leaning ideas and rhetoric growing only I bet this ties in with your no kings protest with self described white liberals while losing ground with other voters. According to a center left group's report shared first with Semaphore. The group, which is called welcome, consulted hundreds of thousands of voters over six months for a broad finding, including 70%. 70% of voters think the Democrat Party is, quote, out of touch. Most voters, the group found, believe the party over prioritizes issues like protecting the rights of LGBTQ + Americans fighting climate change while not caring about securing the border or lowering the rate of crime. And as a result they say that they have completely misjudged the audience as a whole and that, I mean, I think they're right on this, Buck. The reason they're losing elections is not because voters aren't hearing their message. It's because voters are hearing their message and they are profoundly rejecting it. And the data in here is really just kind of very fascinating to see. And for instance, they talk about racial groups. 828% more in the Democrat Party now, buck, compared to in 2012. Think about some of this stuff. They talk about environmental justice, 333% more. They talk about LGBTQ rights 1044% more. And mentions of men and fathers have fallen in the Democrat party platform by 63%. 100%. On fathers and responsibility, the word responsibility has collapsed by 83%. This probably doesn't stun you, and it probably doesn't shock a lot of our audience, but it is interesting that Democrats are now recognizing how toxic their own messaging has become.

[Buck Sexton]

One thing I thought about over the weekend, this is an aside. It's like I'm doing a soliloquy on the radio. Here is how rare it is for there to be in any kind of entertainment. I, you know, Carrie went to sleep, and so when she goes to bed before me, I watch anything that I know she hates, like sci fi. So I tried out the Halo show on. On Netflix because I know the video game, you know, it's okay. But I was thinking about this because, you know, the guy, the lead guys, you know, badass and the whole thing. I thought, you know what, how many shows are there that show. But you don't know anything about this guy's family or anything. But how many shows are there where the dad is actually somebody?

[Clay Travis]

This is, I've been preaching this as.

[Buck Sexton]

A dad that you're like, that's a, you know, the closest thing I can think of would be years ago. I mean, I think coach Eric Taylor in, in Friday Night Lights was like, was a really solid dad. You know, masculine, good at his job, take care of his family. You know, he was a solid dad. I think that was one of the kind of subtle but strong appeals of that show. Now, he does move in the end because his wife's career forces him to. Sorry, spoiler alert. But I feel like he's, you know, he's a solid dad, right? There's so many things out there in entertainment where the dad is like, this is like this bumbling buffoon or the dad is an absentee. Well, depends. You have a lot of, a lot of divorce and absentee dads. If the dad is white in media, you see a lot of that. And in media, that's, that's the depiction of it. And you sit there and you Say to yourself, this doesn't have to be this way. Back to the demographics, though, because you opened the door to this. Now, I'm going back on track here with you, Clay. But, yeah, just someone let me know if there is a great show where there's a dad that you're like, this is a. This is a dad that American men should look up to.

[Clay Travis]

I opened. I opened. Or one of our hours that you were out on this exact thing. There's a clip up, I think, on YouTube. You're hitting on something, I think, independent, because I think you were out. We have effectively written dads out of.

[Buck Sexton]

I'm not able to listen to show when I'm out on. No, no, no. This is new. You have.

[Clay Travis]

We have effectively. And I argue about this in the new book that I've got, we've effectively written men out of pop culture dads. You have extremely powerful moms. Moms that do a great job. Like, it's the foundation, I would argue. But it's not just that we've written them out now, Buck. It's that it's a repudiation of everything we grew up.

[Buck Sexton]

But they also have moms that are kind of pretending to be dads, which is a whole other. That's a whole part of the total.

[Clay Travis]

I mean, you're trying to fill both. Both roles, but, I mean. And it's a repudiation of the era in which we grew up when. And again, I'm not saying that Bill Cosby. I'm talking about the show, the Cosby Show, Growing Pains, Full House, where they wrote the moms out. Like you run through most of 80s and 90s of Fresh Prince of Bel Air, Family Matters, white and black dads that were incredibly prominent.

[Buck Sexton]

The dad Taylor. Yeah, the dads were real dads who commanded respect. We've completely. I didn't know you were talking about this, but this is something that I really think about, because if I'm going through shows that I'm going to watch, I don't consume a lot of pop culture when I do it. Just all these dads. And it's weird, too, because I know so many. I know dads who are, you know, fantastic providers, fantastic husbands. You know, they're trying to be in great shape and be strong. And, you know, they're. They're. They've got cool hobbies and they want to teach their boys, and they're taking them hunting or they're taking them fishing. You know, I know dads like that. And yet I see no dads like that in the media. So I know they exist in the wild because I have friends who are like that. Meanwhile, no depictions whatsoever.

[Clay Travis]

You can even argue because I know we got to go to break Buck, but this is something I'm fired up about. You can even argue that dads today are more involved with their kids than dads in the 60s, 70s, 80s were when it was much more of a mom's at home and dad is always out of the house. I would argue to your point. There are probably more father figures very involved in raising their kids today than there were when you and I grew up. And yet they are completely without representation in modern pop culture.

[Buck Sexton]

Well, who is the or what is the most overrepresented demographic at the no Kings protest? I'll throw this out there and then we'll get into it some more. Middle aged white women, everybody. Middle aged white women.

[Clay Travis]

I would have bet a lot of money that was the answer.

[Buck Sexton]

Yep, that is what the data shows. We will come back into that one here in just a second. You know, the holidays are meant to bring us closer. Thanksgiving just a month from now. The time to be thankful for all we have when we're together with our families. And Christmas a month later. More time with family. Also to cherish that time with with each other.

[Clay Travis]

Welcome back in. Buck just mentioned that he keeps losing stakes to me and you know, this is just what I do. Just rack up steak, bet wins. I was kicking back over the weekend just thinking about what, what exact cut of fabulous steak I might be most interested in for a nice winter getaway down to the warm environs of Miami Beach. And I'll be damned if my good friend Kamala Harris didn't travel over the pond and decide to sit down for a BBC interview about her magisterial work. 107 days, reviewed here by our esteemed host, co host here, Buck Sexton. And Kamala Harris said she's been so impressed at how much Buck liked her book and she has decided that she maybe should go ahead and run for president again. Cut eight.

[Podcast Announcer]

Your baby nieces, Amara and Leela, when are they going to see a woman in charge in the White House? In their lifetime for sure. Could it be you? Possibly. Have you made a decision yet? No, I have not. But you say in your book, I'm not done. That is correct. I am not done. I have lived my entire career, a life of service, and it's in my bones. And there are many ways to serve. I have not decided yet what I will do in the future beyond what I am doing right now. But you've been very clear that it's a possibility you might run again to become president. And in my experience interviewing politicians, when someone says I'm not done, it means they are thinking seriously about running. But when you look at the book, he's odd. They put you as an outsider, even behind Dwayne the Rock Johnson. I mean, is that underestimating you? I think there are all kinds of polls that will tell you a variety of things. I've never listened to Polls. If I listen to polls, I would have not run from my first office or my second office and I certainly wouldn't be sitting here in this interview.

[Clay Travis]

All right, Bob, behind.

[Buck Sexton]

Hold on a second. Steak man behind Dwayne the. I never run for any office. The Rock Johnson. Okay, so before you start sharpening your steak knife, sir, for what won't be determined for at least another year and a half. Let's just be clear. She should. Her numbers now should be the best. They're the best they're likely to be because the more people think about what a disaster she was as she gears up to run again, I think the worse it gets for her. Clay, she is behind random. She was the vice president for four years and she is now, according to you, like the poll, I mean, the betting sites. According to the betting sites, random celebrity movie stars are more likely to run and be the nominee than Kamala Harris.

[Clay Travis]

I don't know exactly which site she was this British interviewer for the BBC was citing. And I wanted to look them up and I will, in fact, look them up while we are talking. She's going to run. And I just come back to she has nothing else. And I know we've joked about they wouldn't even let her be the president of UCLA or the chancellor or whatever it's called of UCLA or of Cal Berkeley. But I don't think there's any doubt she might, might be able to get ucsb. It's a great spot. Nothing against ucsb, but she needs this because there is nothing else. She has nothing else. She's sitting around, she's bored. She has no, in fact, other things going on. Here is what the latest odds are. So this is the US Gavin Newsom, and we'll play some Gavin Newsom cuts for you next hour because he is an alleganous liar, the likes of which I'm not. Oleagonist.

[Buck Sexton]

Are you going oleaginous? Oleaginous pronunciation.

[Clay Travis]

I'm not great at pronouncing words. I read way more than I listen. So this has to happen to you all the time, too? Buck, I know words and I can spell them and I can use them in written context, but a lot of times I've never heard them actually used. And so some of them I love just the way that one flows. Ole. Agonists. Oh, such a great word, but I don't know how to pronounce it. He is unctuous. I think I got that one right.

[Buck Sexton]

That's a very. That's a very good one. That's a fun word, you know. You know who's really Captain Unctuous? Gavin Newsom. He's really.

[Clay Travis]

That's what I'm saying. That's what he is the most unctuous of the political class. He is the favorite. Right now, buck. Right now, 34% chance that Gavin Newsom, according to the gambling markets, is the next Democrat nominee, followed by we just played the cut. We're not crazy. They want you to think that we're crazy. Which sounds like a lot of 25 year old girlfriends you guys might have had at some point in your life. You're the crazy one. I'm not crazy. You're. You're crazy. AOC, 11%.

[Propane Advertiser]

Yeah.

[Buck Sexton]

I'm just gonna tell you something.

[Clay Travis]

How many girls, by the way?

[Buck Sexton]

I just gotta jump in. I gotta help the single guys. There's not a lot of you out there listening, but there are some. The single guys out there. If your girlfriend ever says to you, I'm not crazy, you probably need to find a new girlfriend. All right, I'm just telling you, if she feels the need to tell you she's not crazy, you're in trouble.

[Clay Travis]

One of the first signs that she is in fact crazy, which is when I saw that clip of AOC saying, they want you to think that we're crazy, but we're not crazy. No, you're actually crazy. What is the aoc? Boyfriend. She's married now, right? Didn't she marry a ginger white guy? Ginger white guy, husband. She's married, I think, right?

[Buck Sexton]

I don't know if they're married.

[Clay Travis]

I think they're married. I think she married a ginger, ginger white guy. Good for him. And because I, I remember the photos and everything else. Poor guy. Kamala Harris, third place. Right now she's tied with Mayor Pete and your boy, Wes Moore. And then John Ossoff, who is running for reelection as a senator from Georgia. Josh Shapiro, Gretchen Whitmer, Andy Bashir. That is roughly the top 10. Oh, my bad. She is not married. The ginger. They are just engaged. Producer Ali says, what are the chances.

[Buck Sexton]

What are the chances that he takes her last name?

[Clay Travis]

Hi.

[Buck Sexton]

I'm just throwing that.

[Clay Travis]

What is. What is this guy? Do we know the. Do we know the fiance's name? Can I get research on it? I'm just trying to. His last name is Roberts. What do we know his first name?

[Buck Sexton]

So it was. So with that then would he then be Roberts? Ocasio Cortez? Would we go three triple name, triple names?

[Clay Travis]

His first name is Riley. If I were Going to pick a Democrat that would be engaged to aoc. Riley would be one of the top names. I would go with Riley Roberts. Riley Roberts. Acasio Cortez. I mean I wish him well. I read a story about this buck. You were saying if a woman says I'm not crazy, you know, run in the other direction, she's probably crazy. Some men are taking women's last names now. I think I would disown my sons. I mean I have three boys. I think if one of them came to me and said dad, I am getting married and I am taking my new wives last name as my own, I would certainly not pay for the wedding. And I might take him out of the will. I mean that's. Some of you out there might say.

[Buck Sexton]

Which would actually be meaningful for the Travis boys.

[Clay Travis]

I'm just saying Travis boy. I mean I got three.

[Buck Sexton]

They want the, they want that, you know, that outkick money. They don't want to get cut out of the will. That would be bad.

[Clay Travis]

If one of them came to me and said dad, I'm so excited. I'm engaged. I said congratulations. And then they said, and Dad, I have decided that I'm going to give up our name. I'm going to give up the Travis name and I'm taking my fiance's name instead. I would say you're out of the will. So. But this Riley guy, Riley's going to do it. I bet he's going to be okay to go. Tortez.

[Buck Sexton]

I, I back. I back you on, on your assessment of that entirely. And little speed, Jimmy speed. Same, same rule is going to apply. You can't take the woman's name. Is it. But that, that's, that's not gonna happen. It's not gonna happen.

[Clay Travis]

I mean I can't imagine it happening. But. But this Riley Roberts guy, he may do it. He's gonna be Riley Ocasio Cortez.

[Buck Sexton]

That, that I would not, not be surprised. He's gonna spend a lot of time explaining why he took AOC's last name and why he's in photos in the background holding her purse. Nonetheless, the engagement, April 2022. Been engaged for going on four years. You know, I'm just.

[Clay Travis]

How long will you engage people do what they do?

[Buck Sexton]

I don't need to call us people. My husband and I have been married 50 years and have 10 children and couldn't be happier. We were engaged for 15 years. Like I don't. There's always. People do things their own way. It works out great in General. Long engagement. Not the right move. Not the right move. It's. There's no reason for that. Why?

[Clay Travis]

Anything?

[Buck Sexton]

Already said you want to get married.

[Clay Travis]

Get married, anything more than a year, something's up. Yeah, I just. I don't. The guy is just playing for time. He's waiting to see whether the options are going to get better if you can't get engaged and married in a year. And I. Look, there are exceptions, like, yes, maybe your husband is serving overseas and he's unable to come back. Like, I'm talking about, if you live in the country, right. And you aren't on an oil rig somewhere in the Arctic. Right. And you aren't under deep cover in the Middle east trying to bring down terrorist organizations. All right, I'm giving a couple of. Except if you live in the United States and you are engaged for over a year, it is. It is. Something's up. It's a good advice. I'm just trying to make people's life better. If. If he's not willing to do that, then. Then something is up. He's just playing for time.

[Buck Sexton]

Where are you on prenups? Because people have been pointing out to me there is another James Sexton out there. Have you seen this guy?

[Clay Travis]

No.

[Buck Sexton]

He's all over the Internet. He's a divorce attorney who shares my legal name, obviously. You all know me as Buck. His name is James Sexton, and he's like the divorce attorney to the stars. And now he's become something of a. Almost a life coach, I think, online for people. And he's trying to tell everybody that every. Everybody, regardless of wealth, should have a prenup, because otherwise the state, meaning, you know, whatever state you live in, has one that they've already made up for you. I. I dis. I disagree. I am not a prenup guy. I mean, I guess I'm admitting something very personal on the air here, but unless you're like a. Unless you're like a Rockefeller and you're on wife number two or three, I don't think prenups are the move.

[Clay Travis]

I mean, I had a negative net worth when I got married, so all I would have been doing is spreading out more of the money that. That. That basically I owed. And I had a. We had a negative net worth for a long time early in our marriage, too. I do understand. Like, if I had been where I am now and I had never gotten married, I would be skeptical of the world out there in a way that I was not. When I was 25 and I got Married. So I think partly it's age. And I guess to your point, Buck, if your family is so insanely wealthy, like the Rockefellers back in the day, like maybe the newsoms, which we'll talk about in the third hour, maybe you should sit around. The word is, by the way, that Gavin Newsom had a several hundred thousand dollars wedding, which will not surprise you, despite the fact that he claimed that he was raised with no assets, which we'll play for you in the third hour. I think you have to be really wealthy to even think about a, A prenup. To me now, everyone, I, I, maybe it's easy to do a prenup if neither one of you have anything. Maybe it's not that much of a fight. And so maybe that's what he's kind of getting at is basically just presumption that the marital union might end. And so if you already have made decisions that are rational, but life circumstances change so much. I mean, if you don't have kids and you get divorced, to me that's not, I understand. It's like, not ideal to get divorced, but if you don't have kids, your divorce is more like a breakup than it is. There's not a child or the other.

[Buck Sexton]

James Sexton, if you go on Instagram or on TikTok, he's, he's every, there's like, I mean, he, maybe he's the most famous Sexton out there now, who knows? But he says you break it down into yours, mine, communal marital property, and you just start from there. I, look, I didn't do it, and I don't advocate for it, but I'm, I think it's interesting that now this is becoming, this is growing as a thing before people get married, even when they, this is specifically he's saying for people, because you don't know. And so set it up now, because you can't set it up after the fact. I mean, there's a scene, I think, you know, Donald and Ivana, they had a prenup, and that was part of one of these movies or whatever. They were negotiating their prenup. And I do believe there was a, there was a prenup there, but that's because he's a Trump and he's got a massive fortune. And then you get into the company, you know, the family business, you know, how do you split up some of these things? And some, it does get very complicated very quickly. So, yeah, I don't know. I just, just put it out there. I just want to point out there's another James Sexton, which is there's also.

[Clay Travis]

A lot of, a lot of relationship advice that has been given in this segment, all of which I would point out, is flawless in general.

[Buck Sexton]

Well, and our wives know that. Both of us, Clay and Buck respectively, according to their wives, flawless when it comes to relationships.

[Clay Travis]

It's exactly right.

[Buck Sexton]

Have, have all the answers.

[Clay Travis]

Perfect husbands, as I'm regularly referred to, frankly.

[Buck Sexton]
