A pickup from yesterday.
Buck Sexton
Remember how I played Governor Hochul? The Governor of New York? Kathy H. The accidental Governor. In fact only the Governor because Cuomo was grabbing ladies by the waist and kissing them close to the mouth, but not on the mouth, but in Italian fashion. Hochul was claiming that she doesn't even know what the crowd was chanting. They were, they were chanting at the left wing loon rally, tax the rich. Tax the rich. We played that yesterday and I said this. They're moving from race communism to more old school class communism. Right. The original communism is just a religion of state envy, or rather of state enforced envy. That always turns into totalitarianism. That's what real communism is. It's not about the workers and the revolutionary proletariat and all that's all just. That's all the make believe stuff. Once you get into like the, the final boss level of communism, it's just totalitarianism that roots itself deep into the public psyche via envy and hatred of all that is good. That's what actual communism is, you know, and envy is at the core of it all. Here is Kathy Hochul, though. Clay, we're about. I'm going to play mom Donnie's dad in a second, but I just wanted to update this. Kathy Hochul realizes that, you know, she's the governor of New York, maybe going all in on tax the rich as a slogan, that a rally is not so great. So now she's like, I don't even know what they were saying. Play nine.
Clay Travis
I thought they were saying let's go Bills. I wasn't sure. When you're up there, I heard some noise, I heard a lot of cheers. But later on it became clear to me that there is a. I know there's passion for that.
Commercial Advertiser
I went in there as the leader.
Clay Travis
Of the Democratic Party whose job it is to unify and unify behind the Democratic nominee. I love the energy out there, told them that. And I want to do is bottle all that up, you know, use it in a few days, but take that to Long island in the Hudson Valley.
Buck Sexton
Clay, Kathy Hochul, let's play a game. Moron or liar?
Clay Travis
Liar here sometimes. Often a moron. But she did not think they were saying let's go bills. I mean, tax the rich was pretty clear. I mean, you and I could hear it. We were not at the rally. And if you were at the rally, you would have seen some people's faces and been able to lip read them as well as they were chanting tax the rich Again, I think there is a quiet panic setting in among Democrats that know what it takes to win elections, that if AOC and Mamdani are the face of the Democrat Party, they're in trouble. And really liberal became such a negative word for the Democrats that they really ran away from it. They talk about being progressives now. I, I, I think New York City liberal and California liberal is going to be a huge part of the 2026 campaign. Because I think if you look in New York City, you're going to have Momdani, you're going to have aoc, you're going to have Schumer, and you're going to have Hakeem Jeffries. That's four New York City guys and gals. And you're just going to say those are New York City liberals. And then as Cuomo gear, sorry, as, as Newsom gears up to run for the presidency, I think California liberal will also be an insult. And I think increasingly the decisions being made by places like New York and LA are at extreme odds with the rest of the country in a way that the Democrat Party recognizes is toxic to their brand in what they would call flyover country. And they have to win some of those races in order to have power to enact the agendas of New York and la. Heck, Buck, even San Francisco, I think you got to give some credit to their new mayor, Daniel Lurie. He seems sane, right? On a level that Mamdani is not sane. On a level that Brandon Johnson in Chicago is not sane. On a level that, that Karen Bass, the mayor of Los Angeles, is not right. Those are people who are clear failed wing politicians. I think some cities, Muriel Bowser seems somewhat reasonable, right? The, the, the mayor of Washington D.C. the mayor. And I'm saying that from a Democrat context perspective, not that I agree with everything they do, but just, hey, Trump trying to drive down violent crime in Washington D.C. pam, kind of in favor of that. That's Muriel, Muriel Bowser, Daniel Lurie, the mayor of San Francisco, actually negotiating with Trump to try to say, hey, we're trying to implement a lot of the policies you want to put in place, but if I do it, maybe we can get it through without the chaos that might come from people who just hate you in San Francisco rejecting the choices you're making even when they're rational. My biggest concern, Buck, is they make all these choices that are awful and then they still are going to just say, well, the reason why, you know, this didn't work because we didn't tax rich people enough, because we didn't go far left wing enough. That's the reason why the policies that we're trying to put in place fail. That's my concern about Mondani. If he wins that they will refuse to accept responsibility if he tries to put these policies in place.
Buck Sexton
I'm sorry, Clay. Are you trying to suggest that if he's as much of a disaster as you and I and every sane person with us right now thinks he will be, the voters of Mamdani will claim that real Mamdaniism has never been tried. It's very sad.
Clay Travis
It's very sad.
Buck Sexton
It's very true. It's very, very certain. All right. Speaking of Mandani Mamdani, I will say also, everyone butchers this guy's name all the time. You know, it's amazing. It's. It shouldn't be that hard to say, but for some reason, going from the M to the N, I think.
Clay Travis
Am I mispronouncing this, or is this one of the few. Zoran Mandani. Right? Like, I Commandani.
Buck Sexton
Yes.
Clay Travis
Yeah.
Buck Sexton
A lot of people say Mandani.
Clay Travis
Yeah.
Buck Sexton
You know, Mom, Dania, you know, they get all kinds of things going on here. All right, let's get into his dad. Let's talk about his dad for a second here. Zora Mamdani's father, who's a Columbia University professor, of course, Mahmoud Mamdani.
Clay Travis
Here. He.
Buck Sexton
This is. Well, this is not long ago, Keith.
Clay Travis
Oh, I know.
Buck Sexton
Here is Zuron's dad on this country that. Remember, Zoran is here as a refugee. Zoran is here because the place that he came from was not a place he could stay. Right. I mean, that's my. I think his dad came here from Uganda. And if. Whether he's not technically a refugee, he's certainly an immigrant because Uganda, it's got problems.
Clay Travis
Got a little bit of problems. Not a place that a lot of people choose to go from a Western civilized country. Right. There's just not that many people are like, hey, where are you headed next? Oh, I was thinking about America. I was thinking about England. Maybe it. Maybe Germany. And then I chose Uganda instead. I don't think a lot of people make that choice. It was Italy or it was Uganda. Yeah. Most people, including Mamdani's own family, have made the choice to come back. I do love Buck that while he doesn't trust the nypd, when he goes to Uganda, they have a full security force protecting the family.
Buck Sexton
Yes, but of course. But of course, here is his dad back in 2022. Columbia University Professor, Professor Mamdani play at 6.

America is the genesis of what we call settler colonialism. And the American model was exported all around the world. Abraham Lincoln generalized the solution of reservations. They herded American Indians and into separate territories for the Nazis. For the Nazis, this was the inspiration. Hitler realized two things. One, the genocide was doable. It is possible to do genocide. That's what Hitler realized. Second thing Hitler realized is that you don't have to have a common citizenship. You can differentiate between people. The Nuremberg laws were patterned after American laws anyway. The u. S Put Indians in reservations. The u. S. Invented the model.
Buck Sexton
This is not. This is not true. First of all, when he talks about settler colonialism, I think he's trying to speak specifically in the context of Israel as an apartheid state here. Because obviously America was a colony. It was a colony of settlers. And then we fought a revolution to become free. I don't know if he just skipped that part of American history, but it turned. It was actually the Spanish, the French, the Dutch, the British. They were the ones who created this model.
Clay Travis
This is actually this argument that he makes. Buck. This is why I was so annoyed and have not given them any money for.
Buck Sexton
What annoys clay the most is not the hatred of America. It's the wrong history.
Clay Travis
You can hate America, you have the right to hate America. But at least rooted in historical accuracy, this is like the. The and and don't placate those who hate America and are rooted in historical stupidity. This is like what happened at my university, George Washington university. GW Is now the revolutionaries. They were the colonials. But they decided that the colonials had too much of a context of connection to colonialism. So they changed the name of the mascot. We were the colonial army.
Buck Sexton
We were.
Clay Travis
The colonized who threw off the oppressive colonialism that we were founded upon. Right. So if anything in the history, we're the heroes of the colonial worldview because we took independence from the places that had colonized us.
Buck Sexton
In fact, there were countries where very explicitly the removal of the colonial overlord was premised upon the American success in this. Right. One example would be Haiti.
Clay Travis
Haiti. But there are many revolution in the western hemisphere probably. But yes, Buck, to your point, when in New York City where you grew up, one of the first things they did was tear down the statue of the king and turn it into lead bullets. I mean, that is pretty explicitly anti the colonial power that puts you in place. So yes, his argument is bastardized. And what it is really designed to do, and this is where the identity politics worldview comes in, is white men are evil. If you look at what the motivation is by and large of the modern day democrat party at its essence, at its base, it is white men are evil. That's what they all believe. Now, some of those white men, you know, who take their wives names are voting also to say white men are evil. There's a not insubstantial cadre of white.
Buck Sexton
People that they are collaborators in the wokeness. They are collaborators. That's.
Clay Travis
And some would argue white women are actually the founders and primary principal drivers of the WOKE virus in general. In fact, I think that's likely true. But it relies on the villainy of white men that is the foundation of the Democrat party. And so when Mamdani's dad is making the argument that all that is evil is rooted in the United States, it's an intentional argument because what it leads to is a delegitimization of the country and its founding and the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution, and you can tear it all down as we saw physically happen in 2020.
Buck Sexton
There's also an argument that I've thought of maybe clay for a future book, but it would be very detailed and historic and have to get deep into the history. But one of the, one of the challenges that the Western world has when it comes to all of this wokeness and historical oppression stuff that we actually have histories written histories that go back quite a ways. A lot of other parts of the world don't.
Clay Travis
Yeah.
Buck Sexton
And so it's harder for people to know, for example, like you, you all know that the Portuguese and the Spanish and the French and the British, etc. Western European countries in the age of exploration, starting right around the early 1500s, after one point lands in 1492, they start going all over the world. They start exploring. And yes, they fight and they take over pieces of land, sometimes more peacefully than others, but a lot of the time with violence and a lot of the time they spread disease. But do people know about all of the tribes that were exterminating each other beforehand? Do people know that the great victory of the Inca people, for example, was the consolidation of their empire just a generation before the arrival of the Spaniards, the consolidation of an empire that enslaved and murdered countless other tribes. They don't even talk about this. You talk about the native South Africans, and this came up recently when Trump was talking about South African refugees. How many of the people that teach about settler colonialism, for example, at Columbia University, even know that the Zulus were colonists? The Zulu tribe arrived and through warfare and conquest and enslavement of those who were there in advance of the Zulus, became the primary tribe in that region. And the areas that originally the South African Dutch colonists colonized were uninhabited. Well, I mean, this is just not taught. No one knows these things. This is all true.
Clay Travis
This is also the story of human civilization is human populations move to areas where there was no people, right? Like, so at what point does land. It's. It's really kind of amazing, right? The whole argument is premised on to your point.
Propane Advertiser
A.
Clay Travis
A fact that the historical record is very limited. But land is like, at what point do you say, oh, this land is owned by someone? When do they become the owners? The whole premise is just absolutely ridiculous. And these land acknowledgments, which are now the basis of almost every major Democrat event, you know, they start off by apologizing to the initial owners of the. Of the land or dwellers of the land.
Buck Sexton
The great exterminators, if you're going to look for them of other human beings, would certainly be the Mongols. Actually, in the 13th, how many of you sit around thinking a lot about the Khwarazmi and empire? You might not have even heard of the core. It was actually huge. It was gone. They killed basically all of them. The Mongols. They showed up, they didn't like them. They killed all of them, every man, woman and child, because that's how they used to do things. The notion, Clay, that America came up with the idea of genocide in all of human history is one of the dumbest things I've ever seen. Only a truly historically ignorant person who hates white men would say such a thing. And that is where Mandani's dad comes down on this. We're bringing it full circle. Let's talk about something happy for a second. I'm going to tell you, this is honestly the case. I love my sheets from Cozy Earth so much that now I'm getting another pair of them because I just only want to have Cozy Earth sheets on the bed. Carrie also loves. They've got this big amazing blanket that's now on her couch that she. We kind of fight over. It gives me an excuse to play a little footsie with the wife, though, because we share the blanket.

Buck Sexton
So how are things looking on the Democrat side these days? Let's take a little gander. Let's take a little walk through Democrat lane here and see what's going on. Clay, we got a few things. First of all, I just, I remarked on this to you before. This is. It's interesting me to see this. You know that Joe Biden is still going around giving speeches, I assume paid speeches, which.
Clay Travis
Boy, that's a wasted amount of money.
Buck Sexton
Which pushes the question, who is paying Joe Biden? I mean, remember the guy who couldn't run anymore because he's not. He's in cognitive decline. You know, if he wants to have the ghostwriters put out his memoir, fine. But you're gonna go. You're gonna go listen to a Biden speech these days. Well, Biden has very strong opinions, and you can hear them on this show for free. Cut 11 this is what he says about being how bad things are right now. Play it.
Clay Travis
Folks, we can't kid ourselves. We are in one of those moments right now. My over 50 years in elected public life. This is the worst I've seen it. If Ted were here today, he'd still be fighting like hell, but his optimism would be surely tested because, truth be told, our very democracy is at stake. In my view, we all agree that our politics is broken, that political violence, never acceptable, is out of hand. That America should be a place not of extremism and fury, but of decency and grace. That our institutions, what makes us envy the world and our democracy is worth fighting like hell for.
Buck Sexton
It's just empty platitudes hoarsely shouted into a microphone. What is the purpose of this, Clay? Is it just the desperation for money means that he'll go speak to anyone anywhere? I don't even know if he was paid to give this speech. But also, this is the worst things have been in 50 years of public life, really. Country's actually doing pretty great record stock.
Clay Travis
Market, low unemployment, no wars. In fact, lots of wars ending. Trump is, as we speak in Japan having great meetings with so many American allies around the world. Thursday, the expectation is we're going to get some form of agreement with the, with the Chinese on trade. All of these things are super fantastic. So I just, I Understand that there's still a legacy and lingering distaste in many of our mouths because of the disaster that Joe Biden brought to bear and because inflation spiked all the way up to 9% before it came back down. And I understand that things still feel like they cost too much and that is the legacy of Biden, much like I would imagine that was the legacy of Jimmy Carter. For those of you who lived through the Carter era from 76 to 80, remember early in the Reagan era there was a lot of, a lot of unhappiness as the, as the inflation worked its way out. And then by Reagan 2.0, he wins 49 out of 50 states. Would have won Minnesota, but he didn't want to make Hubert Humphrey feel bad and so he didn't spend very much money in that state. But increasingly Trump 2.0, to me, buck feels like the greatest presidential term of my life. I really mean that. And I know you got back to back Reagan's, but when you look at how much better everything is getting on almost every front and I get that being in say oh, popularity, there's certain segment of the population that's just bought in that Trump is Hitler. They had a successful tag on him. For a lot of people that are frankly mentally unstable that have bought into this idea, way over indexed in Hollywood, way over indexed in creative space. But if you're just rational and reasonable and you look at the choices that he's making, almost all of them are eminently reasonable for what I would say is the 75% of sane Americans. And I think this is why also the rise of social media and I'm a little bit afraid of what I might herald because there's just a lot of stuff that now circulates on AI that's not going to be real. And I think by the 2026 and 2028 campaigns, it's going to be very, very difficult even for realistically and well plugged in people to know what's real. But I think one reason Buck I was going to play this because I do think it ties in right now I would say we're able to see the lies easier and the hypocrisy easier. And if you are willing to adjust on the fly, I think that's how many of you have come to become Trump voters. And this is even now the media starting to get into the act of asking difficult questions. KARINE JEAN PIERRE I think Buck thought that she was going to go on the road and everybody was just going to bow down to her. Because she's a gay black woman and she's a Democrat. And those had become the rules of identity politics was you're not allowed to criticize somebody who has an identity that is protected in the modern identity politics era. And it seems to me all that's crumbling. And look, Karine Jean Pierre can be a gay black woman. Doesn't mean she didn't suck at her job. You're. You can't use your identity as both short sword and shield anymore. She was awful. She was not prepared. She was not a good communicator, even for a White House that was filled with a lot of people like her who had jobs they couldn't manage to do. But she was asked, remember how nasty. I know everybody tries to forget about a lot of this stuff, but remember when Robert Hur came out with his special counsel report and basically said Joe Biden is a doddering old man and he isn't capable of being convicted by a jury because they wouldn't see him as being capable of committing crimes. Which is one of the most devastating indictments of a sitting United States President I've ever heard and write.
Buck Sexton
Well, but it is actually rooted in sound principle. If you have someone who has Alzheimer's or has severe dementia and they walk into a drugstore and they walk out, you know, they've taken something in their hand and they didn't pay for it, well, they're not committing a crime. They have a challenge, right?
Clay Travis
I mean, we component. Almost every crime, what Buck's talking about requires two things. An act, an actus rea in the old Latin, and a mens rea, that's the intent to commit crimes. There are a few that are strict liability. That is, if you do them, it doesn't even matter what your intent was. I'll give you one. It's one that's well founded in many parts of the law. If you, for instance, sleep with somebody who's underage, very often your argument, Even if you're 19 and you sleep with a 16 year old and she claims she was 18, in some jurisdictions you could be guilty of a crime because even what you did, your intent doesn't matter. It's a strict liability offense. There are relatively few strict liability offenses in the criminal law. Most of the time there is a mens rea component. And I failed the mens rea component. By the way, when I said Humphrey, it was actually, as all of you know, Mondale that got smoked. I was right that Reagan won in 84, 49 states to one. Mondale was from Minnesota, not Hubert Humphrey, who I think also got smoked in an election, maybe by Nixon, I don't even remember. But I need to go back and look at the losing roster of presidential candidates. But now this is the Karine Jean Pierre clip that I was going Humphrey was also from Minnesota, so at least I was close. Here is a clip of Karine Jean Pierre being asked, have you apologized to Robert her for all the awful things you said about his report which turned out to be true and everybody just stopped talking about him being a liar once the June 27 presidential debate happened. Here is KJP trying to answer that question. Robert Herr was unemployable for a period.
Buck Sexton
Because of the attacks from the Democrats.
Clay Travis
And from the White House that you.
Buck Sexton
Were at the podium leading.
Clay Travis
Have you apologized to Robert Her? I mean, look, what I can say to you is I've seen, I saw the president every single day. It wasn't one offs. It wasn't once in a while. I saw him every day. He is someone that was sharp.
Buck Sexton
Have you gone back to someone who he was.
Clay Travis
You had pretty sharp comments about. And we all saw a different reality in your personal capacity. What I'm saying is, is my reality was this my reality was somebody that I saw every single day who was Shark who Okay, so no is the answer. But I do give credit on the questions there because if you're going to say the awful things that were said about Robert her and I don't know that he's ever spoken publicly, I think he just had to take all these slings and arrows.
Buck Sexton
And then I can tell you, I can tell you Clay as both are official Clay and buck commologist and Morning Joe expert. So those are two areas of my particular expertise. I watched Morning Joe during the election cycle and Clay laughed at me for this because it was brutal. But I did learn a lot about the Elise Jordan who's the person asked the question, she was all on board for all the Trump is a Nazi conversation.
Clay Travis
Oh, of course.
Buck Sexton
And so the reason now that they turn around and they're upset at people like Karine Jean Pierre is they look like fools too. They have been made to be publicly humiliated by going along with the emperor has no clothes here situation with Biden by pretending that Biden didn't have dementia even though Robert hurt. So, you know, it's the effort to clean up their own reputations and also take out some of their frustrations on the members of the Biden White House that they were all propping up. So this is What? I mean, none of them really take accountability. Yeah, accountability is. I'm sorry, I will do things differently in the future. And to do that, accountability is not. Well, we all lied together, but you lied. And so it's your fault. No, you were all part of this. Libs, own it.
Clay Travis
Clearing up things. Because I'm a history nerd and I want to make sure I. 68, Humphrey lost to Nixon. 84, Mondale lost to Reagan. I'm told they were both Minnesotans. I regret the error and I hopefully will have learned from it going forward. Buck, you got us. Take us to the break here. Just.
Buck Sexton
Just throwing.
Clay Travis
Did I screw this? Did I screw that up or no? Yeah, I just want to make sure that I get the historical record right. I. If I get a historical fact wrong, it actually makes me feel sick to my stomach.
Buck Sexton
We'll take some of your calls here. Some of your talkbacks also light us up. 800-282-2882. Okay, let's talk about preborn here. Because the number of unborn babies who are at risk of abortion right now in this country is shockingly high, and that continues day in and day out. Now, we're trying to change hearts and minds as the pro life community, but we want to save lives in the meantime, and that means saving babies on the front lines. This is what preborn clinics nationwide do. You ready for this number? They've helped save the lives of about 67,000 babies this past year. And with your support going into this final quarter of the year, they might get to 70,000 tiny babies saved. A team of people working at the preborn network of clinics provide pregnant moms with support and assistance as they choose life for their unborn precious baby. When I visited the preborn clinic here in Hialeah, it was incredible to watch just how dedicated they are and how much these moms benefit because their lives are changed, because they saved the tiny baby that's growing in their womb with preborn's help. They need your help, though, the pro life community. They need you to step up and financially support them. They don't get a dollar of government money. Preborn spends $28 whenever they give a mom a free ultrasound in their clinic. So if you can make a gift of just $28, you may just be saving the life of a little baby in the womb right now with its little fingers, little hands, little toes. If you can donate 10 times that amount, by the way, imagine the impact your gift would have. This is tax deductible going to a great cause $28 $2800 whatever you can donate. A lot of you are thinking, I think, as we get into the holiday season toward the end of the year, about some of the some of the charitable donations of the nonprofit donations that you're going to be making for good causes. Let's put preborn high up on that list, my friends. To donate securely, dial pound250 and say the keyword baby. That's pound250. Say baby or go to preborn.com buck preborn.com buck Sponsored by Preborn News you can count on.

Welcome back in Clay travis, BUCK SEXTON SHOW all right, we got a bunch of great talkbacks and I'm just going, I love these talk backs because you guys do a great job of sending them in and so we can just run through. I am very impressed with the collation, even sometimes when I am insulted and called mean words as I was earlier by one of our podcast listeners. But let's run through a bunch of these. Bob from Houston, I actually gave Houston a shout out yesterday, but Bob says we don't talk enough about how nice Texas is.
Buck Sexton
BB Now, Clay and Buck, I understand why you give Tennessee and Florida all the love in the world. And of course, Sean Hannity gives a lot of love to Florida as well and all of them for very good reasons. I know why. Okay, so when are you ever going to mention how awesome and great Texas is to move to as well? I love H town. I love the greater, the greater Houston area is really thriving. It's becoming so big and massive. It's going to be better and bigger than New York. Get out there.
Clay Travis
We love Houston. We love Texas.
Buck Sexton
It's fair. We, we. I try to throw in the, throw into the mix that Texas is great too. But Clay, I think that Texas has always been the red sanctuary for, you know, it's like if you want to go red, you've known Florida has become red under Ron DeSantis and part of the, the post Covid revolution, freedom revolution here and then Tennessee, I just think has become more of a national destination.
Clay Travis
I yeah, I think that's all true. I try to say Texas, Tennessee and Florida because all three have no state income tax. So.
Buck Sexton
Well, that's the big, that's the big test. By the way, if you're the real deal. You should have no say. I've talked to other red state governors about this, and they wish they could join, but it's very hard to get those entrenched interests once they get used to those tax dollars to get rid of.
Clay Travis
That's exactly right. Phoenix, K, F, Y. I also love the state of Arizona. Great place. Yeah, this is true. But listen to her.
Buck Sexton
Hey, Clay was listening to Hannity the other day, and he said that he's.
Clay Travis
Made several bets with you and you haven't paid up at all. Can you comment? I owe Sean a lot of money. It's true. I mean, you clip. They can play. They can play it on Hannity. I owe Sean hundreds of dollars. I think he's won every sports bet with me. And it's convenient. Convenient? I don't carry a lot of cash.
Buck Sexton
How do I not know this? Sean Hannity is smoking the outkick guy when it comes to sports betting.
Clay Travis
I've lost a lot of bets with Sean. I owe him hundreds of dollars. And it's. It is funny. Every time I see him, I'm like, sorry, I just don't cash. I do not typically carry a lot of cash, but he. He's not. He's not lying when he says that I owe him and that. That so far I haven't paid him. I gotta.
Buck Sexton
I think you should have to, like, join him in their New York City studio next time you're in New York and pay up on air, Clay.
Clay Travis
I'd be happy to do that.
Buck Sexton
Amends.
Clay Travis
He's dodging New York City like you are, though. Now he's got his studio down in Florida. He's. He's a Floridian now, Pam, in Anchorage, Alaska. Oh, yeah, this. We got a lot of reactions to this, I bet. Okay, Clay, I watched your video when you were showing us your rooftop pool with a view of your ground level pool, and now all I can picture is you just sunning naked, you know, on your rooftop and then meandering down to your ground level naked. Just. It's too late for me.
Buck Sexton
Everyone run.
Clay Travis
Save yourself. Look, what I say.
Buck Sexton
We got audience members picturing you naked.
Propane Advertiser
It, buddy.
Buck Sexton
That's. That's the real takeaway.
Clay Travis
Here's the deal. I did not say that I'm like a male stripper or something. I said that we don't have window shades or treatments or whatever the hell these things are called in the master bedroom yet. And there is a builder across the way, and so my wife will regularly, like, I take a shower and then I just go get underwear, go get dressed. And I don't really worry about like if the kids, construction guys are looking at me because I'm a guy, like what do I care? And my wife is always like, oh my God, you can't walk. You can't do this. And my argument is women think about nudity very different than men because the women's body is pursued. People try to see it naked. Nobody wants to see me naked. I'm not. If you want to look, you can look. Sorry construction guys. Sorry Pam.

Episode: Hour 2 – The "White Men Are Evil" Argument
Date: October 28, 2025
Podcast: iHeartPodcasts
This episode centers on the growing use of race and identity politics within the Democratic Party, especially what Clay Travis and Buck Sexton frame as the narrative that "white men are evil." They critically examine recent public statements and attitudes, particularly among progressive politicians and academics, arguing that these contribute to a toxic and divisive political climate. Through humor, historical comparison, and strong opinions, they analyze progressive rhetoric, its supposed historical inaccuracy, and its implications for the 2026 campaign and broader American society.
(02:15–08:02)
Analysis of Governor Hochul’s Response
The hosts revisit NY Governor Kathy Hochul’s apparent ignorance of the “Tax the Rich” chant at a rally. They see her response (“I thought they were saying ‘let’s go Bills’”) as either dishonest or a display of political panic.
“Moron or liar?” – Buck Sexton (04:35)
“Liar here, sometimes. Often a moron. But she did not think they were saying ‘let’s go Bills.’” – Clay Travis (04:40)
Internal Democrat Struggles with Progressivism
Clay highlights how progressive figures like AOC and Zohran Mamdani represent a looming PR risk for the Democratic Party among moderate voters. There’s growing concern that the party’s increasingly left-leaning urban policies could alienate voters nationwide.
“I think New York City liberal and California liberal is going to be a huge part of the 2026 campaign. Because... you’re going to have [progressive politicians] and you’re just going to say those are New York City liberals.” – Clay Travis (05:31)
(08:16–17:12)
Focus on Zohran Mamdani and His Father Mahmood Mamdani
The hosts play a clip from Mahmood Mamdani, Columbia professor and father of NY’s Zohran Mamdani, in which he links American settler colonialism to Nazi policies and the model for genocide.
“America is the genesis of what we call settler colonialism... The Nuremberg laws were patterned after American laws.” – Mahmood Mamdani (Soundbite at 10:08)
Host Reactions: Attacking the Premises and History
Buck and Clay attack the historical accuracy of these claims and relate them to contemporary arguments that vilify white men and America as uniquely evil.
“The notion... that America came up with the idea of genocide in all of human history is one of the dumbest things I’ve ever seen. Only a truly historically ignorant person who hates white men would say such a thing.” – Buck Sexton (17:12)
“The story of human civilization is human populations move to areas where there was no people... At what point does land become owned by someone?” – Clay Travis (16:28)
Delegitimization of America
The hosts claim that such historical narratives are deliberately designed to delegitimize the US Constitution, the Declaration of Independence, and American identity.
“It’s an intentional argument because what it leads to is a delegitimization of the country and its founding...” – Clay Travis (14:05)
(24:12–34:39)
Biden’s “Worse Than Ever” Rhetoric
The hosts discuss Joe Biden’s recent speeches about American democracy being under threat and suggest that his rhetoric is empty and self-serving.
“It's just empty platitudes hoarsely shouted into a microphone. What is the purpose of this, Clay?” – Buck Sexton (25:51)
Clay counters with positivity, comparing current global conditions to historical low-points, suggesting that Trump's previous term was one of the best in his lifetime.
“Almost all [Trump’s choices] are eminently reasonable for what I would say is the 75% of sane Americans.” – Clay Travis (27:06)
Media and Identity Shielding
Clay argues that figures like White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre have been insulated from criticism due to identity politics, but this shield is now breaking down as mainstream media begins to question their competence.
“Karine Jean-Pierre can be a gay black woman. Doesn’t mean she didn’t suck at her job. You can’t use your identity as both sword and shield anymore.” – Clay Travis (28:07)
“They have been made to be publicly humiliated by going along with the emperor has no clothes here situation with Biden...” – Buck Sexton (33:19)
(40:25–44:58)
“Nobody wants to see me naked. If you want to look, you can look. Sorry construction guys. Sorry Pam.” – Clay Travis (44:07)
On Democrat Identity Politics:
“What annoys clay the most is not the hatred of America. It’s the wrong history.” – Buck Sexton (11:47)
On Historical Accuracy:
“If I get a historical fact wrong, it actually makes me feel sick to my stomach.” – Clay Travis (35:09)
On Media Turning Against Biden:
“They look like fools too. They have been made to be publicly humiliated... So it’s the effort to clean up their own reputations and also take out some of their frustrations...” – Buck Sexton (33:19)
| Timestamp | Segment | |-----------|---------| | 02:15–08:02 | Discussion of NY politics, “Tax the Rich” chants, Democrat branding | | 08:16–17:12 | Breakdown of Mahmood Mamdani’s remarks and critique of “settler colonialism” arguments | | 24:12–27:06 | Critique of Biden’s current rhetoric (“empty platitudes”) and “worst in 50 years” claim | | 28:07–34:39 | Media’s treatment of Karine Jean-Pierre and reckoning with Biden’s fitness | | 40:25–44:58 | Listener calls: Texas pride, betting with Sean Hannity, and a humorous take on Clay’s home life |
The second hour of the October 28, 2025, episode is defined by Travis and Sexton’s energetic and often irreverent analysis of progressive identity politics, criticisms of historical revisionism, and the political challenges facing the Democratic Party. They intersperse historical references, pointed critiques of media hypocrisy, and moments of humor, delivering a conversation that’s both combative and engaging for their audience. Their opposition to what they see as the left’s “white men are evil” narrative is a through-line, framed as a rallying call for center-right and moderate voters heading toward the 2026 election season.
