Halloween edition of the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show. Clay traveling today, perhaps picking up a last minute costume. Take guesses as to what he'll dress up as this year, if he does at all. But he'll be back with us on Monday. So it is just me, AKA the Buckster, leading you on this, on this legendary journey of politics, news, national security, cultural commentary, all the great stuff that we're gonna dive into. Let's just give you a sense of where we're going. We have election day on Tuesday coming up. In fact, I just voted. I meant to have the little sticker in my hand. I just voted for the Miami beach mayor. As you know from listening to the show, I'm a Miami beach resident and governance here has been quite good. They have done things that have made the streets cleaner and safer and better. And I am very pleased with a lot of the major decisions that have been made. So I was a vote for Mayor Minor and I am hoping that he is able to continue. But I'm just saying I voted. I know it's an off year election, but that makes it so much easier too. I'm saying this in part to also perhaps poke, I wouldn't say shame, poke, encourage, remind, gently nudge our wonderful Virginia and New Jersey and New York City listeners to make sure where there's early voting, you're voting early. And if you can't get there early, well, at least get there on the big day, right? You got to show up to care if you, if you care enough about what's going to happen. And I think that certainly in New Jersey, the latest is that Citarelli has made this a dead heat. It is neck and neck with Cheryl there. New Virginia is a little bit, a little bit tougher, tougher sledding a little more challenging. But still, you gotta show up. Jason Mer is looking good for that attorney general slot and Winsome Sears let let's hope she can pull off a little bit of an upset there. But she's only going to do it if our Virginia listeners go out and tell all their friends and tell everyone they know. Make sure you get out there and vote. And then we have talked a lot about New York City. I'll give you some updates on the New York City mayor's race, but it's not looking so good. It's not looking so good. And Also, some of you have been writing in to say that I sounded like I was from New York suddenly when we interviewed Curtis Sliwa, that I was. I was I code switching back to New Yorker all of a sudden. I mean, I, at least it would be authentic insofar as I am from New York City, born and raised. I didn't notice any difference. I'll have to go back and listen to that. I did switch sometimes when I was talking, when I told Clay, but I was switching on purpose to say he better watch out in Benson. You know, he better watch out when he's at Fall Rockaway, Sheepshead Bay, Staten island, particularly central southern Staten Island. You know, I wouldn't say because he was talking a little bit rough about Curtis Lewa, and that's Sliwa territory. But, yeah, you've never heard me do a New York accent before. When I worked at the nypd, they used to tell me that I talked funny. So there you go. Because they all had New York accents and I did not. So I can do it, though. I can, I can switch in and out. Now we have that, those races. I'll give you those details. We also have the shutdown continuing. I think Democrats are going to lose, but they're getting into that desperate mode where the end is nigh for them politically and they're going to throw anything at the wall and see what sticks. They're going to pull anything out as they can. And then we've got some more Kamala Harris trying to rehab her political chances, her future in politics, which I do not think is strong and I do not think is. Well, as you know, Clay and I disagree on this one. I think she's going to have to just fade, fade out. But she doesn't want to. I will agree with anyone, including Clay, that Kamala Harris thinks she should have a role in American politics going forward. It's ego driven, though it's not based in the reality of her chances and the future of the Democrat Party. So, okay, let's first just get a little bit into where we stand on this government shutdown. First of all, I told you this is where things could get really messy pretty, pretty fast. And that's when the air traffic controllers and the pilots are saying, look, it's going to be really rough for those who are trying to get around the country trying to fly. When air traffic controllers say enough is enough and some of them are going to start calling in sick and there's going to be shortages. People will be waiting. And I will agree with you when you're at the airport and the plane is there and there's not a cloud in the sky and the whole country, the weather is fine and you're told for staffing reasons, your flight is maybe delayed two or three hours, your flight is canceled. Perhaps that is an enormously frustrating experience. Here is a montage of the pilots and air traffic controllers. This is cut 12 telling Democrats, open up the government, Enough is enough. The biggest way to ensure the safety, security and reliability of our national air traffic control system is to pass a clean continuing resolution. We are concerned that when our brothers and sisters in TSA and air traffic control are not receiving paychecks, that, that they're distracted and that they erode on the margin of safety that we rely on to go out and operate our aircraft and do our job safely as well. Every day that they go to work, they have not only the weight of one of the most high consequence jobs in the entire world, now they're feeling, how do I pay for my gas? How do I put food on the table? No one should have to work without being paid. Congress owes it to the American people.
- [09:15]
Senator John Thune
To get this thing done, get a clean CR done and get the government back open.
- [09:19]
Buck Sexton
Everyone knows the vice president, Congress is that this shutdown needs to end now. It has to happen now. These guys need to convene, say yes to that clean cr, get this thing back on track, and again restore that confidence in the American public as we go in to these very busy holiday seasons. The White House put that out and I think it's very well done. It's very straightforward. Republicans. I'm not rooting for the Republicans on this one because I'm a Republican. It is the obvious sane choice of the two sides here. The Republicans were trying to keep the government funded and going. Democrats are trying to do the impossible. It's not the first time that Democrat policies involve squaring a circle, right? Not the first time that, like, a man can be a woman and it's a woman, but it's also a man at the same time that they do this with some frequency. But in this case, they've shut the government down. They made the choice and they're turning to Republicans saying, why you shut the government down? That is not. That is not okay. They did this. We are all now working through this because of them. But they are taking some very bad advice. Slash direction from Chuck Schumer, from Jeffries, and oh, yes, this is cut 11. Kamala Harris herself play it.
- [10:45]
iHeart Podcast Announcer
We still have work to do to Make America's healthcare system deliver for all the people and not be a function of how much money you have in your back pocket. Right. And Democrats do come from that place of believing that health care should be a right and not just a privilege of those who can afford it. So how do you get there? Well, part of how you get there immediately on this issue of where we are with the shutdown is to hold firm, as they are doing. Part of it has to be to continue to reform the system.
- [11:17]
Buck Sexton
They don't reform the system. They have done one thing, and that is make health care worse. Make it more expensive, make it more complicated. They have made it worse. That is the only thing you can say about the Democrat head in healthcare. Every promise that was made about Obamacare has been broken. Everything about this bill, which was a huge fight with Republicans back in the first term of the Obama administration, everything about it was. Was either just wrong or a lie. And now they're saying, well, if we can't continue subsidies. The subsidies were put in place during COVID so now we have to continue at that level. There are all these ways. What they're really doing is hiding a massive wealth redistribution scheme and welfare state under the rubric of health care. Trust me, they're not trying to make your health care cheaper. Trust me, they aren't trying to do what is what would be needed to make it easier for you to see a doctor. That's not. That's not what they want to make it so that states like California and New York will continue treating illegals. 30% of ER visits in New York City, illegal aliens. So we're essentially now the soup kitchen and the sick ward for the whole world. Seven billion people and counting. You show up here, you get all this free stuff. And by the way, the people who are actually here, who have to work, create the productivity to create the wealth that is then pillaged by these Democrats in your name, of course, but for their own purposes. Yeah, they don't want to make that easier for you. They don't respect that. In fact, if you don't pay them what they demand, and it's never enough, if you don't give them more of what you work to create, they'll use the resources of the state to throw you in prison. But the illegals, the people who are scamming the system, the people who are entirely reliant on the system, they are the primary constituency of the Democrat Party, which is a party of. Of takers using government force. That is the whole point. That is the Whole premise. Everything else to say about health care is a lie. Look at your premiums. It's all gotten more expensive. It's all gotten worse. Look, John Fetterman, not, not sure how much longer he's even going to be a Democrat. He's out there saying that. I mean, this is just appalling what Democrats are doing. And he said it in a Fetterman way. This is cut 13. Listen to his take on the government shutdown.
- [13:55]
Senator John Thune
For a Democrat, you know, we're not allowed to just open this up. I mean, then our party has bigger.
- [14:02]
Buck Sexton
Problems than I thought we might have already. It's like, that's not controversial. Pay everybody. And you have. Our workers here borrowed over a third of a billion dollars to pay their own bills. Like it's, it's, it's a failure. And like I said to all of.
- [14:21]
Senator John Thune
The viewers, I'm apologizing that, that we can't even get our together and just.
- [14:27]
Buck Sexton
Open up our government. Democrats are the ones. Fetterman's voter. To keep it open or to open it, rather. Democrats are the ones who have shut it down. They have decided that this is the way it's going to go. And then they turn around and say, why is it happening like this? So I think we're going to see eventually a Democrat cave on this issue. Unless Republicans manage to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. That is always possible for Republicans. There's always a chance here. Although I will say I was pretty heartened by Senator Thune, who is not usually the guy you'd think leading the William Wallace style Braveheart charge for freedom. But he did seem pretty agitated over what Democrats are doing here because remember, they've chosen to do this, but then they're lying about it. Democrats have forced this shutdown by making demands that have nothing to do with specifically funding this government as it is, as it's supposed to be. With a cr. With a continuing resolution, they want to hold the government's funding hostage. But then they turn around and say it is the Republicans who are shutting down the government. That is a lie. And I do think that a majority of the American people, at least those who are paying attention to this, see that I do believe that the Democrats are losing. And once election day passes. Come on, New Jersey. Can I just. My New Jerseyans, sometimes us New Yorkers, we give you a rough time. We treat you like the cousin that perhaps gets a wedgie when we see you at the holidays. But we love you, New Jersey. We really do. From a New Yorker to my New Jerseyans out there, get out there and vote. You can have a good governor who's going to end the sanctuary state status of New Jersey, who's going to bring down the absurd taxes that you pay. There's so much that will benefit you. Get out there and actually do this. Get out there and vote. And for those who say I already have, okay, well, tell other people, remind. I'm reminding friends here. I'm in Miami Beach. I got friends who have forgotten that there's a mayor's election happening. You know, I'm like, well, yeah, that's right. It's going on. We live here. And the decisions that have been made have been really of major impact for us who live in this area. So for any of my Miami beach people listening, get out there and vote. I mean, I voted for minor. I highly recommend you do the same. But unless you want things to turn into mayhem here again, I'll also take a lot of your calls because it's Friday and I want to hear from you. 800-282-2882.

Start your 7 day free trial today. Offers are subject to change. Go to FOX one for complete terms and conditions. FOX one we live for live streaming now. Welcome back into Clay and Buck and we have some guests coming to join today. I want to tell you, our friend Carol Markowitz, special Halloween guests here. Will they be in costume for their radio appearances? I don't know. Perhaps Carol Markowitz and Miranda Devine will be with us. Two great ladies. Great ladies. Miranda Devine just interviewed J.D. vance for her show Pod Force One. We'll talk to her about that in some detail. And Carol, Margaret's got a lot to discuss with her about NYC and these other elections and whatever else is on her mind. But I mentioned Senator Thune, who is apparently, from what I understand, what I gather, gentlemanly, generally not very, very feisty. But that has changed recently. He has decided that what the Democrats are doing is just too much with this shutdown. And here he is, place 17.
- [22:45]
Senator John Thune
I think their leadership is in a box. You've got the New York mayoral election coming up. You've got all these left wing groups that are clamoring for attention and to fight with Trump. And I just think the Democrat leaders are scared and threatened by all this outside noise and afraid to open up the government. So if this happens, I think it happens through the rank and file Democrats who come to the conclusion that this isn't anybody's best interest. And I think that's going to happen, Becky. It's always a matter of time. I mean, like I said, I've been through a few of these and there isn't anything instructive about it. Nobody wins. This is just a stupid exercise. It needs to end and the sooner the better.
- [23:25]
Buck Sexton
Indeed. All true. And I think Democrats are going to end up on the wrong side. Well, not they're already on the wrong side of it, but I think that they're going to suffer politically somewhat from this, although people forget and people are often too easily misled on who's responsible for what. We'll get into more coming up here in a second. One of the more exciting projects I've taken on this year is a really cool E newsletter. And we're witnessing an incredible healthy stock market. Things are looking great with the economy so many ways. So I wanted to merge the political with the financial. And that's where this newsletter, Money and Power, comes in. Now I'm teamed up with some finance experts. I'm writing the big think pieces, the political side of it. They're handling the actual portfolio, the model portfolio they have, looking at individual investment opportunities. And there's huge opportunity ahead. Something I'm referring to is the Manhattan Project, too. Now, it's totally separate from this radio show. So I want you to go check this out. Go sign up for this E Newsletter. It's got a little cost associated with it, but it's not expensive. And you're gonna say, wow, this is really cool. I'm getting great stories, great advice and can really benefit from some of these market picks. Go to insider2025.com Insider2025.com subscribe today. Paid for by Paradigm Press A little bit of a departure from the political stories of the day for a second here. Although this certainly has a lot of politics involved, the possibility, which is now starting to look more and more like a probability that there will be strikes by our military inside of Venezuela. This would be something. As you know, we have already had about a dozen kinetic strikes, missile attacks, really, on drug vehicles of one kind or boats, but also submarines. Right. So different kinds of nautical vessels. So that's going on already. And international waters are getting blown up. Senator Rand Paul is very upset about this. It is quite aggressive. But you have to look at this as we don't want people dying from fentanyl overdoses anymore. That fentanyl gets to US Shores, people take it, they die in large numbers. Enough is enough. I am not seeing a lot of outrage from the American people over this. And we have set a precedent in the past where executive action for counterterrorism has resulted in strikes, including in countries, sovereign nations, with whom we are not at war, Pakistan being the most of, but also Yemen and Somalia. So we have been striking enemies in countries without a declaration of war for a long time. And those are essentially terrorists involved in ongoing plotting, and that's enough to take them out. So in this case, you look at the transportation of massive amounts of a very lethal drug. I understand that people can take it for a while and not die, but they can take it one time and die. And a lot of people are going to be addicted to it and take it until they die. And it's horrendous and it's a scourge. It's destroying families and communities, and it's awful. And so I have not seen very much in the way of pushback by the American people. I've seen Senator Rand Paul and a handful of others. Well, the Trump haters don't like it in Congress because they don't like anything Trump does. Like we say Trump could cure cancer and all of a sudden Democrats would be pro cancer. But this would be an expansion beyond just the strikes against vessels in international waters to attacks in Venezuela. Miami Herald, a left wing paper here in my hometown, but does some good reporting on occasion. Here's what they write. At a military base in eastern Venezuela's Caribbean coast, radar screens sit mostly dark. Generators hum sporadically. Parts are stripped from grounded aircraft and officers communicate on personal cell phones because the army's radios no longer work. Just a few hundred miles north, the Caribbean Sea is bristling with U.S. warships, stealth jets and high tech drones. In what analysts describe as the region's largest show of force in half a century, Washington has deployed one of the most powerful naval forces the region has seen in decades. An aircraft carrier, several destroyers, a submarine, F35 fighter jets and swarms of armed drones. On the other side, Maduro's war machine struggles to stay alive, undermined by corruption, neglect and fear. So here you have, lining up across the battlefield from each other, the most formidable military on the planet under the auspices of the Department of War, no longer the Department of Defense. It's going to take me a while to be able to make that switch, so you don't have to keep reminding me. I promise I'll try. I guess Secretary of War is, is now the title as well. I did see a funny meme going around that, that hegseth didn't want to be called secretary because that's too, it's too wimpy. But that was a joke, as my understanding. So here we have the Maduro regime in the weakest military position it has been in perhaps in the 20th century. The socialist destruction of their economy and the elite's reliance on illegal drugs just to keep it all, you know, the importation of legal drugs in the United States. Essentially, Venezuela is a failed state and anarcho state. And this administration, the Trump administration has had enough. And there's a lot of reporting coming out now that the Trump administration has identified targets in Venezuela that smuggle drugs, that these are part of the international cartel activities that lead to the deaths of large numbers of Americans through overdoses, through poisoning. And the Trump administration is preparing to take action against them. There is very little that Venezuela would be able to do to even defend its most important military facilities. Essentially, Venezuela is hollowed out as a regime already, so this would not be difficult. And now it's interesting because we've had a Trump Administration that on the one hand has always stayed very clear in its philosophy of non intervention. In Trumpian terms, no stupid wars. No stupid wars. But no stupid wars under Trump has not meant no military action against our enemies. These are different things. It is in fact possible, say, to take part in the destruction of Iran's nuclear facilities without starting World War 3, as some were saying. It is in fact possible to take out a terrorist mastermind in Qasem Soleimani, among many others, to take him out with a strike by the Trump administration in Baghdad, in Iraq, and not have Iran erupt into some broader Middle Eastern conflict. These are things the Trump administration has done and has done effectively and successfully and for which there has not been some price that we have paid. So now we look at the case of Venezuela. It is one thing to go after these military, these Venezuelan military facilities, remember the military and the regime are part of the drug trafficking. This is now a state enterprise for Venezuela. And it is such a reminder for the American people right now of what socialism really does, what social justice, economics and politics results in. What the obsession with class envy. When you put bad faith left wing populists in charge, what do they do? They destroy like a plague of locusts. They destroy your society. Venezuela has crazy inflation. It has empty store shelves, it has horrific crime. There's essentially no meaningful law enforcement. It places a mess. This was the third wealthiest country in the Western Hemisphere after the US and Canada into the 90s. This is a country that has. Venezuela has larger proven oil reserves than Saudi Arabia. I know that sounds impossible, but you can, you can just grock it. I'm going to start saying grocket instead of Google it. And then I got to make that switch. No more. No more goo. Grocket. They have largest proven oil reserves, are larger than Saudi Arabia. So this should be, for all intents and purposes, this should be a wealthy, prosperous country. And it has been that in the past, relatively speaking. But people took over who said your life, you, the peasants, you the have nots, you, the poor, your life will be great if you just put us, the left wing radical socialists in charge. We will take from them and give to you. Now, to do that, we have to be able to violate our own laws, we have to violate property rights, we have to violate contracts. So you're really you, meaning the, the Venezuelan landless and the peasants. You have to be willing to create a monster. Chavez, then Maduro, you create a monster, but the monster promises it will be your monster. You're going to empower this Government, in the case of Venezuela, to be able to run roughshod over decency, fairness, its word contracts, the law, morality. It'll do whatever it has to do, but it's going to take care of you. Just create that monster, give it power that one time. This is the story we've seen play out in all of these socialist dictatorships. This is the story we've seen play out everywhere. That's really communist in its ethos. Guess what happens? The monster is in charge. And then the monster doesn't care about the silly poor people who voted for it. In fact, it makes them poorer, it makes their lives worse. It enriches itself. And then it eats and tears down and destroys everything else to keep itself in power. It, it is only self interested. The socialist, the revolutionary elite, all of these places, including Venezuela, they become entirely self interested. It's supposed to be all about other people. And guess what? As soon as they have the power, the elites, the new elite, after railing against the old elite, all they care about is staying in power and their own perks is exactly what has happened in Venezuela. And I also want to remind you because I've been following this story, you can tell I get passionate about it. I've been following for a long time. I had, my daddy had a family friend of ours who found out that his family was being dispossessed and all their property was being seized by watching Chavez do his TV show. The Dictator Chavez, now the dictator Maduro would do this, I think it was called like hello Mr. Presidente or something. And they would do this long like almost like a, like a long form radio show, but it was on tv. They would take callers and my dad knew this guy who was watching, like, yeah, oh, that family. We're going to take all their stuff. You know, they're, they're capitalists, they're pigs. We're going to take all their stuff. They had to flee the country. Like I said, create the monster. Because it's going to be your monster, right? The people who are upset, the people who want more stuff never works, Never works. In fact, it makes, that makes them worse off. And they've traded their own decency, they've traded their own ethics to get something that they never end up getting. And then the populace just become even more desperate and angry. And this is the story, it plays out over and over again because it's really, it's not about socialism, it's not a social or political science. It's really about manipulating human emotion and human envy. And that's why they've destroyed Venezuela. Now, what's Trump going to do about this? Well, it looks like we're about to take out anything that's involved with the drug trade. Can the regime stay in power with all of that gone and destroyed? And won't it also show everybody, hey, not only is the Maduro regime corrupt and criminal, but they're inept, they're weak, they're not even good at being dictator. They're not even good at trampling on all of your rights. They're pathetic. And then does something rise up and replace them? Is it better? Who is it? I don't know, but it certainly seems possible. By the way, the story I told of Venezuela as I'm here in South Florida is the same story with Cuba under Castro. Same story? Same story. Although in that case, I think you could even say it was just more about brute force. It was just they, they overthrew the government through the force of arms and pretended they were going to help the poor and just made everybody poor except the people in charge in the Castro regime. So this is the truth of how it works. Unfortunately, far too often in Latin America, Trump going after it's very much if you have not seen clear and present danger. You know, I'm a big Tom Clancy fan. If you haven't seen the movie or read the book, it feels a little bit like life imitating art here, because I think this is where we're going, where we're going to have really serious and it's going to be more than what you see. Even in clear and present danger. It's going to be military action to bring down a narco regime in South America, the Venezuelan regime. I don't think it's going to last that much longer. We'll see. When you become a new parent, Fridays take on a whole new meaning. And staying in is just the way you often go, right? But there are a lot of ways that you need to refuel the gas tank because I got to take care a little speed. He needs a lot of energy, a lot of time. It's not like I finish here and I'm done.

All right, awesome show. And I can tell you the voter turnout is on presidential levels and people are out there voting. But also people have to realize too, you know, they talk about the mayor. We have city council races. We also have six ballot initiatives. No one, every single one of them, they want to turn over all the power to the mayor. And he could, that means man, Danny gets in, he can build a housing project in your neighborhood. And people just have to get out there know on all those ballots. But I'm going to tell you something else. You just brought up Venezuela. That's from remember that illegal who murdered that beautiful girl Lake and Riley? Jose Antonio Ivar's from, from Venezuela and they brought their criminals over here. You know, Buck, I'm telling you, I'm out here, I'm seeing the people and I'm going to throw my cards on the table.

Hi.

I'd like to make two quick points, one about the marriage race. And that is why does the conservative always have to drop out? People were calling for Sliwa because he didn't have enough votes and Cuomo had more. Well, the problem is if Cuomo were to win, he would do a terrible job just like he did as governor. And I don't know why he's running anyway. He was at the highest position. He's now he wants to go to mayor, but he'd do a terrible job. And the problem is after he got out, everybody would say, as they do on the Democratic Party, going left, oh, we got to have Mom, Donnie, we didn't get the buses, we didn't get this and that. We got to have Mamdani. So it's just going to be worse and worse if, if, if I get you.
- [44:49]
Buck Sexton
Thank you, thank you. Ozzy. We're actually at time. Appreciate you calling in from California. Look, the argument that has been made and obviously Clay has been much more on this because I think Cuomo is horrible too. But I mean, as well as Mandani, the argument Clay is making is if you, if you think Cuomo is the lesser evil, then Sliwa dropping makes it more likely Cuomo will be able to win. A lot of you reject that and you want a conservative, you want a Republican to be in the race no matter what. You want him to have a shot. We'll see. The good thing is, well, actually find out what happens and who's right and what the numbers were and we'll get into more of this coming up in just a minute.
