Episode Overview

This episode sees Clay Travis and Buck Sexton dive deep into current issues at the intersection of politics, culture, and media, with their trademark blend of humor and biting analysis. The main theme revolves around the shifting base of the Democratic Party, specifically the outsized influence of liberal white women, and the cultural and political ramifications of this demographic's attitudes. The hosts also touch on topics such as urban crime, media bias, gender politics, and generational discontent, all while keeping the tone conversational and full of personal anecdotes.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Can Buck Serve a Tennis Ball Over 100 MPH? (03:06 - 07:05)

• Clay and Buck open the hour with a humorous debate about Buck’s claim that he can serve a tennis ball over 100 mph, involving steak bets and discussions about athletic skills in middle age.
  • Quote: “I'm not saying that I serve over 100 miles an hour when I serve. I'm saying I can serve in the box over 100 miles an hour.”
    — Buck Sexton (03:51)
  • Clay expresses confidence in Buck, drawing parallels to his own experiences with competitive bets, like throwing a football 50 yards (05:19).

2. Crime in Washington, D.C., and Media Denial (07:05 - 11:17)

• The show pivots sharply to a critique of media figures downplaying crime in D.C., quoting New York Times reporter Peter Baker dismissing a crime crisis.
  • Clay vehemently disagrees, citing stats showing D.C. is more dangerous than certain Latin American cities and calling the assertion “embarrassing” for a journalist (09:23-10:16).
    • Quote: “It’s one thing again for stupid Democrats to do it, but for somebody who's supposed to be an objective journalist, I don’t understand how you could possibly make the argument he just made.”
      — Clay Travis (09:57)
  • Buck links media denial to “reflexive anti-Trumpism,” and reminisces on Chris Matthews as an example of Democrats who don't fit modern party orthodoxy (10:16-10:48).

3. The Identity and Future of the Democratic Party (11:17 - 15:55)

• Buck and Clay debate what the Democratic Party stands for now that the old base is being replaced, with the ideology of “race communism and gender identity mandates” taking center stage.
  • Quote: “What happens with the Democrat Party that has to face the reality that... race communism and gender identity mandates don’t actually win national elections anymore?”
    — Buck Sexton (11:17)
• Clay mentions his upcoming debate with Stephen A. Smith and struggles to identify any Democratic policies he agrees with, illustrating his sense of the party’s ideological extremism (12:37-14:18).

4. Rise of Liberal White Women as the Democrat Base (28:09 - 39:38)

• The headline segment centers on a viral soundbite from Bravo personality Jennifer Welch, who rants that “white Trump voters shouldn’t be allowed to eat at Mexican or Chinese restaurants.”
  • Quote: “Get your fat asses out of the Mexican restaurant. Get your fat asses over to Cracker Barrel because nobody wants to see your smug ass…”
    — Jennifer Welch via audio clip (28:09)
• Clay and Buck use this as the jumping-off point to critique the growing demographic influence of liberal white women:
  • Clay cites voting data: Kamala Harris’s only demographic improvement over Biden in 2024 was with white women (29:30).
  • Buck analyzes the roots of liberal white female discontent, referencing the cultural impact of “Sex and the City” and what he calls a “replacement of traditional value systems with race, gender, and virtue signaling” (32:11-34:41).
    • Quote: “There is a class of white women in America… left-wing Democrats who have bought into all this stuff and are now at the point in their lives, like this woman, where there’s a derangement that has set in…”
      — Buck Sexton (33:57)
  • Clay speculates that this demographic defines the current Democratic Party, making it impossible for moderates to reclaim the party or for rational policy debate to emerge (36:50-39:38).
  • Both hosts argue that the feminist movement inadvertently created a world that is paradoxically more beneficial to men than women, fueling further female discontent (37:35-38:50).

5. Listener Calls and Anecdotes: Beards, Crime, and Cultural Observations (22:23 - 25:02, 46:35 - 48:26)

• A listener named Sandy calls to defend men keeping their beards, sparking a light-hearted discussion about spousal expectations, personal grooming, and family disputes (23:24-25:02).
  • Quote: “Everyone who can grow a beard who has the correct chromosomes for it should grow it.”
    — Caller Sandy (24:54)
• Another listener brings up the case of NFL player Brian Robinson, who was shot in D.C., challenging media narratives that the city is safe (46:35-47:12).
  • Clay and Buck highlight the geographic and class divides that allow some residents to feel insulated from crime, noting that most elite media figures have little exposure to high-crime areas (48:00-48:26).

---

Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

• On reflexive anti-Trumpism and the left:
  “If you acted like your job was to try to take the president down as a journalist, you were promoted.”
  — Buck Sexton (14:18)
• On the psychological impact of modern feminism and pop culture:
  “They’ve been worshiping the golden calf of Sex and the City life and it’s not good.”
  — Buck Sexton (34:41)
• Cultural critique on party dynamics:
  "I think the Democrat party has to kick these chicks to the curb in order to ever be relevant again. And I don’t think they can do it because they’re the base now."
  — Clay Travis (39:37)

[Clay Travis]

Welcome in our number two Wednesday edition, Clay Travis, Buck SEXTON Show Laura Travis has weighed in. I went downstairs during the break. She has said that she continues to believe you cannot hit a serve 100 miles an hour but she hopes that you can because if you can, she wants you to get us Wimbledon tickets the next time that you play in the tournament. So the sarcasm is continuing to poor welcome to my welcome to my world. She has also weighed in in the comments. She's kind of got a free ride here because on the steak bet front, do you know who has to cover the steak bet? Me. So she gets all the benefits of winning a bet with none of the none of the downside because her husband.

[Buck Sexton]

A little more you've been a little more 5050 on this one. But like you you didn't, you didn't immediately say if buck think and I just want to be clear about this. Everyone has understand I'm not saying, I'm not saying that I serve over 100 miles an hour when I serve. I'm saying I can serve in the box over 100 miles an hour. If you look at Google D3 tennis players whom I have played against many, many times over the years, including when I was in college and you will find that they serve 75 to 100 miles an hour. The men on average, on average. So one the male tennis players on the tour serve 115 to 120 mile an hour. First serves on average.

[Clay Travis]

It's a lot. I can't do. I can't do that.

[Buck Sexton]

I'm not like I'm saying over a hundred though. Oh absolutely. I just $200 on a speed gun. All right. That's that's real money. I got the fanciest speed gun you could get everybody. So many doubters. So many doubters.

[Clay Travis]

Speed gun. During the commercial break I here's the two things that I think you can do it because I think you're very confident in it and I it's a weird thing like when I said I could do 185. This would be a weird thing to claim to do in something that you do regularly to not be able to do. Right. I think you know your, like for.

[Buck Sexton]

Instance, now he's kind of icing me with this a little bit now I feel like the tables have turned. Like if I can't, if I get stuck at 90, which would be sad because that would mean that I was close but no cigar. You know, like maybe I just, I top out at 90 miles an hour. To be clear, I'm not saying I can do 120, I'm saying I could do like 102 maybe.

[Clay Travis]

But I, I regularly have had these kind of bets my whole life. So I said I could throw a football 50 yards and we, when I was in law school and nobody, nobody believed me. Like everybody was like this is, this is a ridiculous claim. There's no way that you can actually do this. So we broke into Vanderbilt's at the time. It wasn't very hard to break in there like outdoor football field. And I got 48 yards. So I was very close.

[Buck Sexton]

You and I are both a little similar in this regard. I think that while, while humble about it, I think that we are, we surprise people with the, you know, for middle aged guys with, for the physical capabilities here.

[Clay Travis]

I was thinking about it too in the context of your speed gun thing. Like if you go to a baseball game or minor league baseball. I think they stopped these because guys were just tearing their rotator cuffs. I haven't seen them as frequently but you know where you could go and you get, they give you a baseball and without any warmup at all, you just stand there and try to throw it as hard as you can. I think your average guy, like I think I could throw a baseball 60 miles an hour right now. Like I don't think that's a crazy. So when I think about you having the propulsion power of a. I mean.

[Buck Sexton]

Some of them are trolling me like which is fine in the comments but the people were saying the service 60 or 70 miles an hour are insane. The people who are saying it might be 90 or 95. I'm like, oh, that's why I'm getting the speed gun. If you're saying 60 or 70, you're not good at math.

[Clay Travis]

Well, I mean I'm just thinking about it in the context of the, the again the laser on the. Just, just throwing a ball without having the ability to smack it with a racket. Anyway, I'm super foul. I, I want to be.

[Buck Sexton]

The result is, is heavy. A tennis A tennis ball is like air, basically. So it's very.

[Clay Travis]

Yeah. So this is the big debate now. Can Buck do it or not? LAURA Travis on no, I think I'm going to come down on your side. I'm, I'm more inclined to think that you can than can't. Um, by the way, speaking of coming down on the side, I, I want to play this guy because this guy has gone viral. I am. So it's one thing for Democrats in response to Trump saying, hey, I'm going to clean up D.C. for Democrats to say, oh, we're just reflexively going to line up against him. But if you are an objective, honest, even somewhat rational member of the media who spends any time at all in D.C. you would have to acknowledge that you or your family or your significant others do worry about crime. And if you're not worried about crime, it is, hey, you're so rich, you have a security detail, people are driving you around in a, in a black car, and you don't have to worry about it. This is a New York Times reporter who said, this guy, Peter Baker, he's regularly on the front page of the New York Times for his reporting on President Trump. He says Trump wants to be a dictator. There's no crime crisis in D.C. this is cut 14. This is something that we don't see.

[Buck Sexton]

In the United States.

[Clay Travis]

We fought crime for 250 years in.

[Buck Sexton]

The United States without turning it over to the military.

[Clay Travis]

And that's something you normally see, you know, military troops in the streets of.

[Buck Sexton]

A capital, the kind of thing you see in other countries, in autocratic countries.

[Clay Travis]

But autocratic leaders who are trying to.

[Buck Sexton]

Assert control and power. If you really cared about crime in the of Columbia, where crime is actually down historically, if you actually care about crime in America, there are cities with worse crime rates than Washington, D.C. he's not sending troops into their streets. He's sending troops into the streets of.

[Clay Travis]

The nation's capital, which has a special resonance. Okay, this guy, I don't understand. First of all, D.C. is a federal protectorate. So it is beyond a shadow of a doubt that the President has the ability to do this. There would be disputes, as you saw when the President brought police and the National Guard, basically State National Guard, I think, or State Guard, into California. There are disputes over that. The President does have the authority to do that, I believe, anywhere. But the argument that the crime isn't a problem from someone who is supposed to be an objective journalist is embarrassing. DC has an awful crime problem, violent crime problem, and the fact that it's twice as deadly in Washington D.C. as Bogota, Colombia. Three times as dangerous in Washington D.C. as Mexico City. Yes, Trump is talking about it, but Democrats want to pretend that it isn't an issue. And I just, I really. For journalists to then line up and say, well, actually crime is not bad. It boggles my mind that they could be this dumb. It's one thing again for stupid Democrats to do it, but for somebody who's supposed to be an objective journalist, I don't understand how you could possibly make the argument he just made.

[Buck Sexton]

It goes to a combination of things and one is the, the just reflexive anti Trumpism as we have discussed. Of, of. And Chris Matthews tried to warn them about this because he's a more old school Democrat. You knew he wasn't long for msnbc, didn't they? Kind of.

[Clay Travis]

Did he get, they forced him out?

[Buck Sexton]

Yeah, right over. Because he called like, he called someone like, you know, sweetheart or something. Right. Didn't he do some, something like that?

[Clay Travis]

There was, yeah. And I mean, yes.

[Buck Sexton]

I'm not saying he did anything bad. I'm just saying they, I feel like they did him a little dirty over there. Like there were some complaints that he was a little.

[Clay Travis]

The Democrat Party doesn't really have any place for older white guys. Like that is kind of what they have slowly made apparent to everyone is your opinion's not welcome if you are an older white guy in the Democrat Party. And unfortunately there's still a lot of older white guys that vote Democrat because they bought into that team 40 years ago. And I think a lot of them just don't pay attention because they think of themselves as historic Democrats and they don't know what the party stands for anymore.

[Buck Sexton]

That's a really interesting question though, isn't it? What does the party stand for? What, what happens, what happens with the Democrat Party that has to face the reality that perhaps it is facing right now that race communism and gender identity mandates don't actually win national elections anymore. Well, or maybe never did, but, but won't win them now for sure. What, what do they do? How do you pivot from that? It's not like you're pivoting on the tax rate. As we've discussed, you're pivoting on some big stuff.

[Clay Travis]

I was thinking about this so we can mention it now. September 16th, I'm debating Stephen A. Smith in New York City. Stephen A. Smith's probably the most famous ESPN employee. We're going to talk sports, politics, cultural issues, everything. And I was actually. That's Going to be really fun. Maybe we'll have fun talking about it a little bit more later in the show. But actually because of what you're saying, I was, I don't know what the questions are going to be. You know, I'm presuming that we're not going to have a Democrat style debate where the Democrat gets the questions in advance and then the Republicans just up there not knowing what's going to be asked. But the question that you just asked, I was thinking last night as I was attempting to go to bed, what if I got asked, hey, what do you think the Democrats are doing that you agree with? What is something. Because a lot of people have party views that sometimes cross over. Historically, you're not 100% in agreement with one party. You might be 95, but there might be 5% where you would look at the other side. Can you think, buck, of anything that you actually agree with of the arguments that they're making? I can't. I can't think of a single Democrat policy where I sit back and I say, okay, strip away the politics of it. Does this make sense? I can't even point to anything where I think to myself, hey, you know what? This is a policy that I could get, get behind. I was looking at mom Donnie's New York City mayor race. Basically nothing that he stands. Not only that, I disagree with it. I think it's actually very destructive to the fabric of New York City. I can't even think of anything. And that's how lost they are to not be able as a rational person to sit and think, hey, what policies are they in favor of as a party that maybe they're not wrong on. It should be the case. I think if you have two reasonable political parties that you might be 90, 10, but there would be something where they would seize a point and you would say, you know what, I think they got a good argument there. I think historically that's been the case. I can't even think of one. Maybe some of you out there can think of something. I'm not saying that you're going to vote for a Democrat. I legitimately cannot think of a Democrat policy position where I think to myself, hey, you know what? That actually is a rational, reasonable position of the national Democrat Party.

[Buck Sexton]

Well, I think that they also have the problem of the people that are going to get the attention in the meat because what happened was the media became seeded with people who believe in the radical left stuff and they were elevated certainly during the Biden years. And I think in the first Trump administration too. Like I said, Jim Acosta, if you acted like your job was to try to take the president down as a journalist, you were promoted, right? And then that continued through the years of Biden and Covid and all of that and blm, all that madness. Well, now when they look around, it's like these are the people who have been promoted within the company and they're lunatics. So there has to be a whole new set. You know, you're hearing people who are Democrats saying sound things like Chris Matthews on the issue of D.C. crime. They're not, they're not big names, you know, they're not people that are. I mean, Chris Matthews, you say he's been in the business a long time. I don't mean he's not a well known guy. But I'm saying he's not calling the shots for the Democrat Party at all. If anything, he's playing a lot of golf. And I think that that's true in general. Now, who gets the attention AOC from Democrats. Aoc Bernie Beto. These people are in the Looney Tunes section. I mean, Gavin Newsom, you could say, tries to play it both ways, but he's the governor of California and he's done everything he can to ruin his state as fast as he can. So, you know, he says one thing and does another. There's no centrist, ish, moderate Democrat to bring the crazies in line. And so that's why you get the stuff that you're getting here with Trump on the federalization of the crime issue.

[Clay Travis]

In D.C. that's why I think Rahm Emanuel is going to try to carve that lane and be a sane man in the Democrat Party because right now I just, I can't think of any of them for that. That just makes sense going forward. It just doesn't add up.

[Buck Sexton]

Yeah, I think it's a, it's, it's going to be tough for Democrats going forward. All right. Our federal government has some funding problems, one of them being our Social Security system. A bigger percentage of our population will be of retirement age in the future, living longer lives. That costs a lot of money. Most of us don't act, get access to the spending mistakes and fraud that goes on with respect to Social Security spending. But there's some, it only makes the funding problems worse. But there's hope for funding a solution. Jim Rickards is a 50 year government advisor. He's got a point of view on a possible solution. Jim Rickards is on the record saying America's anything but broke. And if investors understand why, they could make a fortune in the months ahead. If the Trump administration's future move in this regard is correct, it could solve the Social Security funding problem coming down the road. Jim Rickards believes that if you're over 50, this could be your last chance to create lasting wealth, regardless of your politics.

[Clay Travis]

Yeah. Here we are in Pennsylvania and just want to comment on your MSNBC comment that were made about you. Man, that sounds like a plug for your show. If I wasn't already listening, I would be like, wow, this guy really has something to say.

[Buck Sexton]

Knows what he's talking about.

[Clay Travis]

Keep up the good work.

[Buck Sexton]

There you go.

[Clay Travis]

That helps. And if you missed it on msnbc, they were ripping me for being in favor of less people being killed and said that that was because of my machismo, which I do appreciate the use of the word machismo because it makes me think that, you know, I should be a starface scar face character walking around with like three buttons undone and a big gold chain. I don't have a lot of chest hair, but maybe I could dress up like that for Halloween. We've got so many great talkbacks, by the way. I was looking at these coming into the show. Where do we want to go into next? Well, Sandy is calling in. Sandy and Terry, just what you got for us.

[Caller Sandy]

Urge you to keep the beard because my husband shaved his beard in 1972 on Mother's Day and I have not let him forget it to this day. I love his beard. I'm sure your wife loves your beard. Don't listen to the foolish suggestions.

[Clay Travis]

Why do you say, sandy, I appreciate you calling in to defend the honor of my beard. Why do you think your husband in 1972 decided to shave his beard on Mother's Day?

[Caller Sandy]

I do not know. He doesn't even know, God bless him. He just thought, well, I'll shave my beard. And he did.

[Clay Travis]

And he thought that was some sort of present for you. That was like, hey, it's Mother's Day, you're going to get a clean shaven husband.

[Caller Sandy]

I don't think his brain even went there. And I don't think he realized how much I loved his beard. But I think, I think he knew I liked it, but I don't think he knew how beautiful he looks to me with his beard. To this Day. And, oh, by the way, I found out today, listening to your show, that men's hair, beards turn white early. My husband's in his late 70s. He's still got blonde hair, but his beard is white. And I always.

[Buck Sexton]

Sandy. Excuse me. Excuse me. Sandy in Texas, you know. What about my beard? You know, like, should I keep my beard? You seem very, very set on beards here. Can I.

[Clay Travis]

Can I get.

[Caller Sandy]

Everyone who can grow a beard who has the correct chromosomes for it should grow it.

[Clay Travis]

Thank you for the call, Sandy. And I'm sorry that your husband shaved the Beard in 1972. I don't know if you've made a choice. You're young in your marriage. My wife is still angry about the haircut I got before our wedding. I got a bowl cut. It's not a good look. She said, whatever you do, don't go get a haircut. I went and got a haircut. She said, whatever you do, don't get a bowl cut. I don't know how it happened, but I showed up with a bowl cut. She's still not happy about it. Every wedding picture got the bowl cut. So I understand. Sandy, look. 1972. She's still not over it. Awful decision. What was he thinking? Just an awful decision by her husband. Look, if you're out there right now and you're thinking to yourself, oh, boy, we're coming up on Thanksgiving, believe it or not, just a few months away, and then comes Christmas, and you're thinking, we can't put Aunt Edna next to Cousin Sue. They will fight. They. It doesn't matter what's going on. They're gonna fight. And you are going to be the person who is the peacemaker for the holiday season. What happens if you're not there to make sure that your family doesn't fall apart? In fact, what if you're not there and your family doesn't know what you want?

Travis Bucks Sexton Show. Appreciate all of you hanging out with us. I wanted to play this. I think we've rolled this over a couple of days. I do not think we have played it yet. But we're talking about Crazy Town and this is I don't think we played this. Right. Reality star and stars doing a lot of work there. Someone named Jennifer Welch team. We have not played this yet. Right. She is evidently a Bravo person. And for those of you out there, my wife watches some of these. I bet that a large majority of women out there, certainly if I would say, I don't know, I, I would think this is probably the Bravo Housewife shows are probably Ali. Is it fair to say it's like women under 50 is like the wheelhouse. Like women 30 to 50 would be like the Bravo perfect Real Housewives audience end up. So this is like one of the most popular shows for women out there. And I imagine some of you men have walked through and seen the screaming fights and the crazy town that is involved in these shows on a regular basis. So this reporter, sorry, this Bravo star Jennifer Welch evidently has a podcast and this has gone mega viral because she said white Trump voters shouldn't be allowed to eat at Mexican or Chinese restaurants. They should only be able to go to Cracker Barrel. This is real cut 24.

[Caller Sandy]

I've had it with white people that triple trumped that have the nerve and the audacity to walk into a Mexican restaurant, a Chinese restaurant, an Indian restaurant, go to perhaps their gay hairdresser. I don't think you should be able to enjoy anything but Cracker Barrel. And if you want a triple trump and you want to browbeat dei, you want to browbeat gay people and you want to browbeat black people as you've been doing for 400 years, and you want to browbeat this generation of immigrants that come over here and open up businesses, earnestly pay their taxes. You want to demonize them and call them rapists and felons and all this when the felon is the teeny weeny mushroom piece of cankles McTaco at the top of the ticket, I have had it from top to bottom, white people, that triple Trump should be banned, boycotted from enjoying the best thing that America has to offer, which is multiculturalism. Get your fat asses out of the Mexican restaurant. Get your fat asses over to Cracker Barrel because nobody wants to see your smug ass, teeny weeny pink arm, big gut around. Nobody wants to see that. No one.

[Clay Travis]

I mean, yeah. So first of all, this is I think maybe the base of the Democrat party now. And you say, okay, what do you mean by base of the Democrat party? Yes, it's ridiculous, it's outrageous what she said. But liberal white women, if you go look at the 2024 election results. Kamala Harris really only improved on Joe Biden with white women. Think about that for a minute. Every group in America, Kamala Harris lost ground with black men, Hispanic men, Asian men, white men, black women, Hispanic women, Asian women. All of them said, I am moving towards Trump in 2024, except for White women. And this woman. I know, producer Ali is surrounded by women who may not be necessarily this vulgar, but in New York City, this would be a huge part. Buck, you tried to date some of these, some of these chicks when you were a single guy, unfortunately in New York City. Why are they so angry at the world? I mean, I think it's a really big question. Because they are now the foundation of the Democrat Party. They are the people that the Democrat Party bends the knee to, responds to. They liked Kamala more than they liked Joe Biden, the only group in America. And you could hear from her such venom and by the way, not rational. Because if every triple Trump voter suddenly said, I'm not going to eat in Mexican restaurants anymore, do you know who would suffer? A lot of the people that are of Mexican descent, of Hispanic descent, that are working in the restaurants. And so I really do try to put myself in their world. Why are they so angry, Buck? Like, why is that woman in some way representative of the foundation of the Democrat Party right now, not just disagreeing on policy fronts, but legitimately basing almost her entire take on Trump? Voters are awful human beings and they shouldn't be a part of civilized society. Why are they so mad? Why are they so angry? I really, genuinely can't figure it.

[Buck Sexton]

Oh, boy. You may have some deep dive into the psychology.

[Clay Travis]

I mean, I'm trying to think, put my head into the crazy world they, they live in. And I have difficulty even understanding why they are so angry.

[Buck Sexton]

I think that they have, over a period of time, deeply bought into messaging that is going to inherently make people very, very miserable over the long term. I think that they have their. The value system they should have has been largely replaced by the leftist stuff that we talk about, the virtue signaling, the race, communism, the gender identity nonsense. And over. You know, there are some people whose minds are just more easily molded by the propaganda that's all around us all the time. I mean, there's a whole. You're asking about, about white women. I mean, I think. And people have gotten mad at me. I've been saying this for 20 years, basically, or whenever, whenever the show ended, I forget whenever it ended. But I mean, I think Sex and the City was terrible for Women. I think Sex and the City was very bad messaging for a whole gen. And it's really women my age, maybe a little bit older, for a whole generation of women because they watch that show and I understand it's entertainment. I know it's very cleverly written. I understand. You know, I like jokes too. But the underlying message, you know, just to be clear, it's supposed to be fun. The underlying look, let's understand something. Even before there was radio and there was television, there's a reason political cartoons were so effective, right? There's a reason that using artistry for political messaging and you go back to propaganda during warfare and the existence of all these different methods of trying to engage in shaping public perception. And I. Anyway, so that's my roundabout way of saying with Sex and the City. I think that there was a value system that was elevated through that show and other things like it and other currents in the culture. But I'm just picking on that one right now where, you know, it's not about something other than yourself. It's about expensive shoes. It's about, you know, pursuing hedonism and self actualization and all these that actually don't mean anything. And there is a class of white women in America who. White women who are Democrats in America, to be clear, left wing Democrats who have bought into all this stuff and are now at the point in their lives like this woman, where there's a derangement that has set in, where they have to keep believing this stuff, even though observation of the world around them would lead them to think that this is not that they have not made good choices.

[Clay Travis]

It's very.

[Buck Sexton]

Think about this, like how, how do you grapple with bad life choices? And I don't just mean that in terms of family formation or things, you know, whether you pursued career at the expense of other things. I just mean the way that you've interacted with people and saw yourself vis a vis society. How do you go back and say, wow, I believed in stuff that was like trash and worthless. So that's what I think. So you're asking me why these women are so unhappy? That's why I think it's so unhappy. They've been worshiping the golden calf of sex in the city life and it's not good. And they turn around, they realize, why am I so miserable? Well, because you didn't put other more important things before your own very kind of mundane and petty desires.

[Clay Travis]

I, I was that, was that too much?

[Buck Sexton]

I don't know.

[Clay Travis]

No, no, no.

[Buck Sexton]

That was the ass, I guess.

[Clay Travis]

I think it's. No, I mean, I. I think it's important sometimes because I'm always asking, am I. And am I missing something? Is there an argument? I am willing to be persuaded that I am wrong on anything if you can provide me an objective data point. I really struggle to understand these women, and I think that clip is so outrageous that it's funny to play. But she's not saying something that there isn't tens of millions of white women in particular out there who believe it. And I spent some time because I. Obviously, this new book that I'm writing is about young men and the world in which they inhabit and how they've come to move so aggressively towards the Republican Party. But I don't hear very many people talk about, hey, Kamala was an awful candidate, one of the worst that's ever, I think, been run by the Democrat Party. And yet white women moved towards her. She, in some way, was able to galvanize white women who showed up in big numbers for Joe Biden to move even more aggressively in favor of. In favor of Kamala. And that's an important lesson because we've talked a lot about young men moving and Trump gaining support with Hispanic and black and Asian voters, and that seems rational to me, if you're actually looking at the data. White women seem to have spun off into a whole world where the choices that they're making and the arguments that they are even being willing to embrace is totally nonsensical. And I think it's important to recognize that these people are out there and think about. They basically are destroying the Democrat Party because they're the foundation of the Democrat Party. Imagine. Imagine that you are a Democrat and that woman is leading the charge for your party. How do you make her happy? I think your Sex in the City argument is a good one, Buck. In my book, I argue that if you went back to, like, 1965 and you told a single man, what was the ideal world that you would want to create? Feminism in the last 50 years has basically created the ideal world for men. Sex with limited to no work, a disposable culture of relationship where you can constantly just swipe right or whatever it is. And I think these women, to your point, they made all the choices that they think empowered them, and actually they've managed to strip away much of their power. And men are actually more powerful in their world today than men were in 1965. And I think it's a counterintuitive thing. And to your point, what do you what happens? I was talking to one of my buddies the other day. You know him, we went out to dinner and he's in the middle of a divorce. And he was asking me, he had a financial question. And I was like, boy, this is like, not a good situation. Situation to be in. And he said, he said, and I give him credit, he's got a great sense of humor. He said, totally deadpan. Yeah, I know. For the last 20 years, given a choice between a good financial decision and a bad financial decision, he's like, I picked the bad one. And he's like, this is where you end up when you have good financial decision, bad financial decision, and you pick the bad one. He's funny about it, and he's still young enough where he's going to be okay. But I do think a lot of these women can't reconcile the fact that the reason why they're unhappy is. Is actually because of the world they've created around them. And so I think you're right. I think it's an element. They have to lash out and believe that all they have is their moral authority and everyone else is awful but them. And I think in reality, there's the deep toxicity to them. And that actually now characterizes the Democrat party. So I think the Democrat party has to kick these chicks to the curb in order to ever be relevant again. And I don't think they can do it because they're the base now.

[Buck Sexton]

Yes.

[Clay Travis]

And we're going to get into some of these calls here. And let's do Bob in Delaware. Bob, what have you got for us?

[Caller Sandy]

Hey.

[Clay Travis]

Longtime listener, first time caller.

[Buck Sexton]

Thank you.

[Clay Travis]

Grew up in Fairfax County, Virginia, knows D.C. very well. My son still lives over in the area. And what I question I would ask is why don't you ask Brian Robinson how he feels about crime in D.C.

[Caller Sandy]

After being carjacked and shot in the.

[Clay Travis]

Leg his rookie season. And look, that kid's so lucky.

[Caller Sandy]

He only missed four games of his career.

[Clay Travis]

A couple inches one way or the other. He gets hit in the kneecap, maybe never plays again.

[Caller Sandy]

No.

[Clay Travis]

Another Redskin that got hit in his.

[Caller Sandy]

Femur artery and, and never made it.

[Clay Travis]

So why don't we ask him how he feels about crime in D.C. i think it's a great question. And again, I think that Democrats are telling on themselves like this liberal white woman that we played the cut for their if they're not afraid of crime, they live in such police drenched areas that they don't fear for their safety or, or they are paying for their own private security. I mean, if you walk around in Georgetown, it is a very different feeling than if you walk around in Southeast D.C. and so a lot of people are telling on themselves because they're not going to the areas where crime is necessarily happening at a regular rate. And it would be fascinating if we.

[Buck Sexton]

Could really do this. Like we could, we could maybe get the people to sign off on their geolocation data, I bet that most of the people who are saying D.C. is safe in the media, I'm talking about now most of those people, if you pulled their geolocation data from their phone or you could ask them, but you could pull it to verify they've never been across the Anacostia river on foot and actually spent time in Southeast D.C. which is where the highest crime rates are.

[Clay Travis]

Never once, I guarantee that's true. I be stunned beyond belief. And by the way, that doesn't mean that other parts of D.C. capitol Hill is very dangerous. Still, Capitol Hill has been dangerous for a very long time. At any moment you could end up in a in a crime of significant danger. We'll talk about that. More tons of talkbacks. We will hit a bunch of those. Having a good time here with all of you on the Wednesday edition of the program as guess what? Stock market setting another high?
