Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome back in Gleny Travis buck Sexton Show. We are
all into the third hour, Thursday edition of the program.
We will take your calls as we continue to roll
throughout this program, and we're reacting to a couple different things.
One Kamala's disastrous MSNBC interview, in particular her lack of
understanding of basic economics. We're talking about we still need
(00:24):
to play a little cut, a couple of cuts before
we're done of the Milania Trump interview as well. But
we're reacting right now to Eric Adams being charged with felonies.
He is the mayor of New York City. We just
had a caller I don't know if he's still there,
that was talking about it. It occurs to me, Buck,
let me just kind of lay out what roughly the
(00:44):
outline is based on the indictment. There are a couple
of different parts of the indictment. I believe five count
felony indictment brought against Mayor Eric Adams. The allegations there
Democrat Mayor Eric Adams to the extent we need to emphasize,
but he is the New York City mayor of the Democrat.
He is accused of accepting improper benefits essentially from Turkish airlines,
(01:09):
which has been written about and alleged before that he
was getting upgrades on flights to Turkey and better treatment
than he otherwise would have if he were not a politician.
He is accused in some way manor buck of a
quid pro quo that Turkey needed help with their new
(01:29):
sort of residents. What would you call that? It wasn't
an ambassador location because it's New York.
Speaker 2 (01:34):
City consulate, so embassies have ambassadors and embassies are all
located in DC. Consulates are additional diplomatic facilities outside of
the capitol.
Speaker 1 (01:44):
Boom, there you go. So what he was trying to
get for them is being alleged was help in getting
an occupancy, as I understand it, okay, based on to
a large extent, whether the fire alarms met codes are
not and they were having difficulty getting people to come
check the fire alarms, and he said that he would help,
(02:08):
which is honestly what a lot of what politicians do.
And so they came and they got the premises signed
off on and they were able to open and do
their events. Okay. There's also allegations that there were a
campaign contributions made. And this is honestly buck. I think
this happens everywhere at this point. But people were making
(02:31):
donations and they were sometimes using so called straw men.
You're limited, I believe, right now to thirty three hundred
dollars contributions direct to candidates. You can give double that
one for the primary, one for the general. I think
the totality is roughly sixty six hundred dollars. Don't quote
me on that exactly. I am not a federal elections lawyer,
(02:53):
but I think those are the numbers. Sometimes they will
use names of other people as straw men donors. Somebody
actually gives twenty k, and then maybe they're only allowed
to give three thousand or six thousand or whatever the
limit is, and they use other names. I actually think
this is happening on a massive scale right now with
(03:16):
Act Blue, which is the Democrats online fundraising group, where
they are going out getting small dollar donors and there
are some people saying, hey, I've never given a dollar before,
but somehow their names are ending up on the list
for that. They have brought charges against Mayor Eric Adams. Now,
my argument, I think you sign off on a two
buck is relative to the charges that are being brought.
(03:41):
This is fairly low level influence pedaling that does not
rise to the level of say Menendez in New Jersey,
who's getting hundreds of thousands of dollars, gold bars, everything else.
The quid pro quo, ain't a lot of quid and
ain't a lot of pro quo going on here.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
Well, looks this is from the PBS right up of it.
I'm just trying to make sure because I see different
things about the straw Man dollar number or the straw
Man donations. How much did he get from these straw
straw Man donations ten thousand dollars in matching funds as
a result of the false certifications, according to the indictment.
(04:20):
Now other people are saying ten he got ten million
dollars in illicit funding.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
I haven't.
Speaker 3 (04:26):
I don't know if.
Speaker 1 (04:27):
They're I don't know where. I've only seen the ten thousand.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
You've always been ten thousand, right, I've only said the
indictman says ten thousand, ten thousand dollars for a New
York City mayor's race is nothing. Okay, that is a This.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
Is like a twenty million buck.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
So when you if I told you that you had
twenty million dollars in the bank and you had to
pay a ten thousand dollars fine, you'd say, hmm, okay,
I thick, I'll be all right, Like you wouldn't care
at all. So it's very small dollars relative to what
we're talking about here in term of the full scope
of that campaign. And look, I'm not an Adams I
(05:03):
think Adams has done a bad job as mayor. I
think he's better than Deblasio, who was an outright communist
who really was trying to ruin the city because he
thought that shared misery was social justice. But I think
that Adam's a little better than a Blasio in terms
of how he's run the city. I'm not an Adams partisan,
but I am seeing this, and this brings us to
(05:24):
the next sort of phase of this Clay. Really, they're
bringing this indictment against a very prominent He's a national
level political figure.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
Just being the mayor of New York.
Speaker 2 (05:34):
Most people who read the newspaper are gonna know who
the mayor of New York City is, Okay, I mean,
you know, maybe not everywhere in the country, but certainly
anywhere on the East Coast. You're gonna know if you
watch the evening news, you're gonna know the mayor of
Nick City is eight point six million people, whatever it is.
So why bring this indictment now?
Speaker 1 (05:53):
Is the point?
Speaker 2 (05:54):
And especially given that it is not. I was thinking,
oh my, they must have him. I mean, think about
what Hunter Biden did. But just to give you a
sense of skill, hunter Biden was accepting. I think it
was all total. I wish you had Mornda Devine here.
I think it was thirty million dollars in money for
(06:15):
basically nothing. And the whole game was it was for
future business ventures. But the business venture was access to
his dad, and his dad calling in favors for him. Yes, right,
And this is where politics can get a little murky. Now,
that's slimy, and not paying taxes on it is criminal,
and hiding the source of it is criminal. It's money laundering.
I mean, there's things that he did that were clearly crimes.
(06:37):
But if there's no quid pro quo, if there's no
offering of I'll do this for that, is it criminal?
Speaker 1 (06:44):
I don't you know.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
That's where it gets a bit stickier. And in this case,
you're just talking about such lower level stuff that to me,
it feels like, remember, if you're a prosecutor, also, the
best cases you can bring, generally a public corruption cases,
if you want to get to higher office afterwards, if
you want to be Attorney General for the you know,
(07:06):
for the DOJ, if you want to rise in your career,
the thing that you really put at the top of
your resume as a federal prosecutor's federal corruption cases more
than really anything else.
Speaker 1 (07:18):
And what I would say for everybody out there is
based on this indictment. If they investigated Eric Adams for
nearly a year, is my recollection buck when they first
did the raids, and this is all they could find.
They seized this cell phones, they had everybody's email addresses,
They went through, basically with the fine tooth comb his
(07:38):
entire background, and this is all the charges they could
find against him. I would based on this indictment, just
as I said that I would vote not guilty if
I were on a New York City jury for Donald
Trump in the Trump what I believe is trumped up
charges thirty four felonies over bookkeeping, I would voted not
(08:00):
guilty if I had been seated on that jury based
on this indictment, even if you assume everything that is
in there is true, I think I would vote not
guilty for Eric Adams. Now, some of you out there,
like the caller we just had called in, He's like, oh,
if there's any sort of hint of corruption, there should
be charges bought. I respect that principle. That's not the
(08:22):
world we live in. The world we live in right
now is if you're on the side of the people
in power, by and large, you can get away with anything.
If you're contra the people in power, they're going to
try to throw you in prison at the first opportunity.
We've seen this for Trump and everybody around him. What
I'm saying is, if you're troubled by what happened to Trump,
(08:44):
I think, based on this indictment, you should be troubled
by what happened to Eric Adams because but to me,
what it suggests is there's people out there more powerful
than Democrats or Republicans, and if you run a foul
of them. The part line is not what preserves you.
It's whether you're on the right side of the people
(09:04):
that are in a position of power. And I think
Hunter Biden found this out as soon as his daddy
wasn't very powerful anymore. Guess what happened. Charges in Delaware,
charges in California. He may get a pardon. But as
soon as you're not moving in the direction that the
grand sort of power brokers want and they don't find
you very useful, or God forbid you go against them
(09:27):
in any way, they're gonna throw the book at you,
and you better watch out.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
So this is from the indictment again. This is where
I get. I get a little confused. Eric Adams, the defendant,
I'm reading from the indictment. Yeah, compounded his gains from
the straw contributions by using them to defraud New York
City and steal public funds. New York City has a
matching funds program that matches small dollar contributions from individual
city residents with up to eight times their amount in
(09:53):
public funds to give New Yorkers a greater voice in elections.
Adams campaign applied for matching funds based on known straw donations,
fraudulently obtaining as much as two thousand dollars in public
funds for each illegal contribution. Adams and those working at
his direction falsely certified compliance with applicable campaign finance regulations,
(10:16):
despite Adam's repeated acceptance of straw donations, relying on the
concealed nature of these illegal contributions to falsely portray his
campaign is law abiding. Here's the key line, Clay. As
a result of those false certifications, Adam's twenty twenty one
mayoral campaign received more than ten million dollars in public funds.
(10:39):
Like you see what I'm saying here, So he obtains
two thousand dollars in public funds for each illegal contribution,
So he would have had to receive I'm trying to
do the math on the fly on medio.
Speaker 1 (10:53):
Not a good idea.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
Yeah, to man have had to do hundreds and hundreds
of straw donors to get to ten million from the math.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
Again, when I read it, the math does not add
up comes in. This is where it's messy. I think
what they're saying is that he raised ten million in
small dollar donors total, but they're not attributing it to
this one particular aspect of his campaign. Right, So it's
(11:24):
a first of all, this is a messy indictment. But
also I think the way that is written is first
of all, that you can make up to eight times
as much is MESSI the idea is that that is
protecting small dollar donors and giving them more of a
voice than they otherwise would have. But again, to me,
(11:48):
reading this indictment in totality, someone decided to order the
code red on Mayor Eric Adams, like someone decided to
order the code red on Donald Trump. And these, even
when one's a Democrat, ones are Republican. I think for
me as a lawyer, what I look at and say
(12:09):
is our justice system is not in the business right
now of treating like crimes in a like manner. It
treats people who are willing to challenge the establishment very
different than it does people who are going along with establishment.
And so I actually, I don't know what. Again, I'm
(12:30):
fascinated by it. And I saw our friend Alex Berenson,
who initially poop pooed all this. Have you seen him
on Twitter? Now he's come around. Yeah, Because initially when
I tweeted out last night, hey, this feels like a
political hit job to me, a lot of people said, oh,
you're crazy. There's and now they're reading the indictment and
they're actually like, there's not a lot of here here.
(12:51):
And so I'm curious. Trump's going to have a press
conference in was it four point thirty Eastern? I think
in New York City. I'm with you on this.
Speaker 2 (12:59):
He's going to come out and be like, they're treating
Mayor Adams terribly, terribly for Mayor Adams, not a great guy,
not a terrible guy, treating him very unfairly, very unfairly.
Speaker 3 (13:08):
I think that's what he's gonna say.
Speaker 1 (13:09):
If he talks about it. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (13:11):
No, I think it's because he knows that Adams. Adams
was critical as a turning point in the narrative nationally
about just how out of control the migrant situation is.
When New York's largest cities may I mean, sorry, America's
largest Citi's mayor says we can't handle the influx. What
(13:32):
does it mean for El Paso or Springfield, Ohio or wherever?
Speaker 1 (13:37):
Right?
Speaker 2 (13:37):
I mean, it just was a sea change moment in
the way that we talk about these migrants that you know,
ten million of them have come in under Biden Kamala's watch.
Speaker 1 (13:48):
Buck. At the end of this hour, you know what,
it's time for price picks. I'm going to hopefully get
a winner for everybody out there that's coming in addition
to Rob Who's going to be in our New York
City studio. All that on the way. But it's Thursday.
I'm going to have a big weekend. I'm headed down
to Tuscaloosa for the Georgia Alabama game. I'm gonna be tired,
(14:10):
probably gonna need a little bit of energy. Crockett coffee helps.
But I'm also going to be using my buddy Seaton's
chalk product right now, the mal Vitality Stack, one of
the best sellers. TA levels decline as you age. Look
at the men who are voting for Kamala Harris, their
testosterone levels may well be negative. I don't even know
(14:31):
how that's possible, but when I see a Kamala mail voter,
I think that is a man with testosterone level that
is so low it may not be measurable. If you
don't want to be solow on your testosterone that it
might not be measurable. You need to put some chalk
in your life. All natural can increase your testosterone by
twenty percent over three months, and right now they got
(14:52):
a big time discount when you use my name for life.
You may have seen me recently bench pressing one hundred
and eighty five pounds ten times. Some would say, so
am I strong for a radio host? Definitely? If you
want to be strong, you need some testosterone in your life.
You can check it out five zero chalk three thousand,
say Clay and Bucks sent me five zero chalk three thousand,
(15:14):
their US based customer service team working today to assist
you right now. You can also go check out the
website choq dot com my name Clay. Use it right
now and you get a great discount for life. That's

Speaker 4 (15:30):
News and politics, but also a little comic relief.
Speaker 1 (15:33):
Clay, Travis and Buck Sexton.
Speaker 4 (15:36):
Find them on the free iHeartRadio app or wherever you
get your podcasts.
Speaker 2 (15:40):
Welcome back in team. We've got some calls coming in here.
We've also got Rob Schneider joining us shortly.
Speaker 1 (15:44):
That'll be fun.
Speaker 2 (15:45):
I've ever seen Rob Schneider movies back in the day.
Speaker 1 (15:47):
Set them on us. I know we've got Joe in Florida.
He's a lawyer. What's up, Joe?
Speaker 5 (15:53):
Thanks for taking a call. Guy, he's a great show.
Thank I got firsthand experience in getting money to politicians
the most legal way and doing it almost like the
mayor did, can I should I tell you? Sure?
Speaker 3 (16:09):
Sure, Okay.
Speaker 5 (16:12):
I used to practice law. I retired fifteen years ago.
When a rich client would come to me and say,
I need to give one hundred grand to this senator. Now,
they were no matching funds for senators, so we weren't
taking money from any entity. But I got to get
them one hundred thousand. Figure out a legal way to
do it. Well, you can't just give them cash because
(16:34):
the limit is like forty six hundred at the time
per election per person. So I said, look, you have,
you know, twenty people you could trust. Here's what I
want you to do. Send them all a check of
forty six hundred and say I'm giving you this as
a gift. You have no obligation to give it back
(16:54):
to me, none whatsoever. You can spend it as you
want and that's it. Now they all knew the guy
needed to fund ex senators race. Only one o two
out of twenty would burn my clients.
Speaker 1 (17:12):
That's thank you for the call. That's very dangerous. Just FYI.
I mean, what you're trying to do is what he described.
You're trying to get as much money into a politician's
hands as you can, and you're giving someone money that
they then reallocate to that politician. A lot of prosecutors
would come and look after that. The better solution, I
(17:33):
would say, now, if you're super rich and you want
to donate to a politician, give the maxes that you can,
and then you can give to a pack that's a
political action committee, which doesn't have restrictions on how many
dollars you can give. It theoretically is not directly coordinating
with the campaign. But again, the straw men donors thing
buck is very common. Be careful.
Speaker 2 (17:55):
You don't want to get anywhere It's like straw purchasing
a firearm. You don't want to get anywhere near that.
Underneath the revote stock market that we're seeing and the
near record high, the economy actually has some big problems.
There are some folks over at Stansbury Research, which does
incredible financial research, that think that there's something you really
(18:15):
need to be aware of. They talk about these strange
accidents that are happening across America and why we've seen
reports of nine to one call centers going offline, red
reports of a plane falling apart mid flight. One of
the big reveals with the number of train accidents last year,
some forty seven hundred in all. Learn why so many
accidents are taking place in America and exactly where and
(18:35):
when the next big accident is most likely to occur.
Very likely to affect you, especially if you have money
in the bank or the market. Go to America disaster
dot com for the full story and hear the report
explained to you. That's America disaster dot com to get
the full story on America's next big accident and how
to protect you, your family, and your money. America disaster

Speaker 1 (18:57):
Welcome back in Klay Travis Bucks Exton show in our
New York City studio right now, Rob Schneider, actor, director, producer,
Emmy nominated SNL writer. He's got a brand new book out.
You can do it. Speak your mind America. Rob, Let's
start right here.
Speaker 3 (19:15):
Thank you, Buck, Thank you so much for having me.
Speaker 1 (19:17):
I want to have some fun. SNL is going to
be starting their new season soon.
Speaker 3 (19:21):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (19:22):
Rarely has there been a candidate more lampoonable than both
Joe Biden and now Kamala Harris. Yet they have consistently
pulled their punches because they're afraid. I think of alienating
blue voters.
Speaker 3 (19:36):
I think the last couple of seasons they've come around
a little bit better. Do you think don't go out
any institutions. I think they will. I think you have
to go after whoever's in power. And you know, I mean,
Kamala loves to present herself. We're not going back, We're
not going back. Well, who's been in power the last
three and a half years. You have, And so this
idea that she's this new spirit, this new wave of
(19:57):
political genius coming in. I mean, so they'll have to
and and I think that they they have the last years.
So I mean, any institution, a Saturday Night Live is
an institution. It is susceptible to whatever, you know. Woke
nonsense has been infecting you know, you know, our society
the last few years. And but I think they've they've
(20:18):
done a good job at correcting it. I think you
know the fact that you know who was the comedian
that they fired? Who was hired? They're the really funny
comedian who was a has his own Yeah he.
Speaker 1 (20:30):
Does all and I'm bad with names, but he does
all the But like I forget, but then they brought
it back as they caught.
Speaker 3 (20:36):
I mean I mean this, they did the same thing.
San gillis. Yeah, they did the same thing to Norm
McDonald when they fired him, because they had to because
you know, the head Honchos, we're friends with OJ. He
was making OJ jokes every day, even they told him
not to wait.
Speaker 2 (20:49):
He got fired for making OJ jokes.
Speaker 3 (20:51):
Oh yeah, that's an old story. But but then, you know,
you know the thing about they brought Norm McDonald back
to host, and that's a credit to you know, to
the genius, you know, Lauren Michaels. So I think they're
going to be fine. I'm looking forward to a new
season and I hope they do, because it'll be pretty
obvious if they don't that they're they're just picking sides.
But SNL every you know, I mean, look at all
(21:12):
the late night hosts, they're all, uh, they always lean
left and and you cannot kind of understand it. But
I think you got to make fun of where the
power base is and and the insane job.
Speaker 2 (21:22):
As you know, the the biggest late night show now
by audience by Nielsen is.
Speaker 3 (21:31):
Yeah, and he's great, and you could tell the difference
because America is sick and tired of of having being
force fed and ideas and pre chewed for them and
stuck down their gullets like I mean that that was
a really disgusting thing to me. Probably the most despicable
thing I've ever seen on late night was seeing the
dancing syringes on Stephen Colbert's show.
Speaker 1 (21:52):
I mean, vaccine.
Speaker 3 (21:53):
That was very much like that's something out of more
than just the Soviet you know. It seemed like something
out of the Khmer Rouge, you know. So, I mean
just very beyond cringe. And you know, all those late
night guys, whether it's you know, Jimmy Fallon or them,
all those those monologues you could have I mean, there
was no original voice in any of them, no individual voice.
(22:15):
You could have interchanged them all. It didn't matter. So
I think, though, if you want to survive, and you
can see what happens is people are tired of being
told what to think and they want to make their
own decisions. And that's why Greg Guttfeld is the number
one show.
Speaker 1 (22:27):
Right now, we're trying to by a lot. You're right,
we're talking to Rob Schneider. I was in a movie
called Lady Ballers that Daily Wire made, which is about
dudes pretending to be chicks and trying to win a championship.
It was actually really funny, well done, and as part
of the filming, I just had like a small part
on it. But we got into an interesting discussion. And
as a comedian, I'm curious how you would analyze this.
(22:50):
There were so many hysterical movies made that everybody loved white, black, Asian, Hispanic, gay, straight, male, female,
whatever you want to say in the early two thousands,
certainly in the eighties, in the nineties, and there are
tons of classics, and then about twoenty twelve ish, it
was like comedy wasn't allowed anymore. Do you see a
rebirth of comedy happening in Hollywood. Everybody got afraid of
(23:13):
offending all these different groups.
Speaker 3 (23:15):
It's not gonna come from Hollywood. It's gonna gonna come
from It's gonna come from guys like Matt Walsh. It's
gonna come mean obviously, the I mean, it's it's just
a no brainer that the funny, the best comedy right
now is coming from conservatives.
Speaker 1 (23:27):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (23:27):
I would just tell people that, like, there's no such
thing as conservatives. They're just liberals that aren't crazy, that
aren't lunatics, that that aren't sure which you know that
that you know, like the liberals and aren't sure which
bathrooms to use. You know, it's the ones who do
know which bathrooms to use. You know, this is the
people who are being logical and rational. And I think,
you know, Hollywood, if they're anything, they're whores and they're
(23:50):
gonna go with where the money is. And if if
movies like Matt Walsh is you know what is a woman?
And am I a racist? When they start making money,
they're gonna wake people up. I mean it's funny because
they shunned Mel Gibson's movie, you know, The Passion of
the Christ until it made a billion dollars and then
what happened the whorors in Hollywood? You think they care
(24:12):
about Jesus or Christianity, but then Sony, you know, Sony
Picture is probably the most you know, a very demonic
organization if it ever existed. They have a whole category
now for Christian movies. You think they're Christian at all,
They don't care and care less about that. They couldn't quote,
you know, anything from the Bible at all. They just
(24:32):
know that's where the money is. So I think you'd
be a fool to be a Christian and try to
make something without organization. That's about as hypocritical as you get.
So again, what's funny is funny, and the audience is
going to decide. When you have a movie like Matt
Walsh's and My Racist and you see people laughing at
it and the audience laughing hysterically, that's that's proof. I mean. Unfortunately,
(24:57):
you know, Asasha Baron Cohen is a genius and probably
the bravest comedian who's ever lived. I mean what he
did with Borat and then the other movie physically putting
himself in jeopardy. I just don't think any comedian as
I've ever seen do that. But I think he's also
ideologically captured and is not just going for comedy where
you need to make. Where's what I think satire is.
(25:19):
It is going after what is deserving of ridicule. And
these people who just think you're automatically systemically racist in
a society of racist because of the color of your
skin is just you have to It's lunacy, and it's
also it's not just wrong, and it's not just immoral.
What it really is is a It is an inverse
(25:41):
of what these progressives, and it's always progressives, and these
are people that are really demonic. What they did one
hundred and twenty years ago at the progressive movement was
they were these were called eugenics back then, and that
was where saying that these people are inferior because of
the color of their skin, and therefore you need to
make a better people through breeding, you know, just these
(26:04):
are this is what they thought. And this was you know,
even the the Supreme Court justice at the time. You know,
of Gosh, I'm blanking his name now, but this was
the scientific thought at the time. And so what happened
was obviously eugenics became when you see the zenith of
it was Nazi Germany just murdering people that they considered inferior.
(26:25):
So eugenics lost rightfully, lost all credibility and you were
a xenophobe, crazy person if you believed in it. And
now you cut to one hundred years later, you see
the same stuff again, but it's inverse. Now. These people
because of the color of their skin, they're automatically victims,
and these people, because of the color of their skin,
they're automatically racist. And so it's just another manipulation and
(26:48):
it's just another way of of of graft and fleecing
the public and manipulating people into giving them money and power.
And that's what's I mean, that's what you see happening.
Speaker 2 (27:01):
Now we're talking to Rob Schneider. His book is You
Can Do It, Speak your Mind America.
Speaker 3 (27:08):
Rob Oliver Wendell Holmes was the name of the Supreme
Grudge Justice.
Speaker 2 (27:13):
Sorry, no, no, very good. Sometimes things are funny by
accident or without without intention. Obviously I would put Kamala
Harris's interview with Stephanie Rule yesterday in that in that category.
Speaker 3 (27:28):
You'd have to. I mean, the thing about it, you
understand why they don't want Kamala to be interviewed. And
I said, they did a very good job I don't
know if she had an earpiece or not during the debate,
but she did a good job of of you know,
of of avoiding answering questions like she always does, you know.
And then I like that, you know, the this is
how good of a journalist. They have an MSNBC, which
(27:51):
is there she's defending her interviewee for not answering questions,
say she doesn't have to answer questions. Why should she
have to answer and be specific. Why should she give
her way? You know, you have a person who has
given this anointed. You have on one side, you have
somebody they tried to murder two times, and they have
(28:14):
another person who's no one voted for in the primaries,
and they just anointed. And say which one do you
think has the best chance for actually defending a republic.
I'm gonna go with Trump.
Speaker 1 (28:26):
We're talking to Rob Schneider. A couple of questions for
you that are kind of tied in. I really like
Hub Halloween. I've got kids. You're in that movie. You've
been in a lot of Adam Sandler movies. That's a
tease for everybody out there if you're looking for a
fun family Halloween movie to watch up on Netflix. Really good.
You've been in a lot of Adam Sandler movies. You've
done a lot of movies yourself over the years. So
(28:49):
two part question here. One, how often do people knowing
what your politics are privately pull you aside. I've spent
a lot of time in LA This happens a lot
to me and say, hey, I agree with everything you're saying, Like,
give you a fifth pound and then stay quiet themselves
that's part one part two, and this may be quick.
Are you involved in Happy Gilmore to at all? I
(29:11):
don't think you were in Happy Gilmore one unless I.
Speaker 3 (29:14):
Wasn't, so I'm not in the second one for Happy
gal More. But and also Adam wants me to watch it,
so you know, we can have somebody who doesn't know
anything about the script and just watch it and get
laughs and then to see what I'm laughing at because
it's not done. He's filming it right now.
Speaker 1 (29:28):
Okay. I thought it was petition.
Speaker 3 (29:30):
It's only in week three right now.
Speaker 1 (29:32):
Okay, great. So going back to that question for Hollywood
other people, how does it happen?
Speaker 3 (29:37):
I got a call from an Academy Award winning son
of an actor and and he said, listen, I agree
with everything you say, and I want to be I
want to speak up too, but I'm worried about, you know,
losing work. And I said, you will lose work and
it will cost you money, but it's going to cost
you more to not speak your mind. But just be
careful how you do it. Be judicious, don't lose work
(29:58):
over it. Don't talk to the ahead of your streaming
service or you know, the executive because they're captured, and
you know, it'll be like a brownie that they get for,
you know, thinking on you, just like you know, Mayor
Guyetti in Los Angeles on a fink on your neighbors.
It's the same thing with this woke mind virus. But
I said, talk, So don't talk to him, don't talk
(30:18):
to the producer, don't talk to the director because they're
probably ideologically captured, at least if you know, they speak
it whether they believe it or not. And I said,
talk to the boom guy, talk to the guy who
puts on the microphone, Talk to your makeup lady, talk
to the driver. But talk to people. Talk to your family.
It may cost you, you know, maybe your uncle won't
come this Thanksgiving, but at least you'll be able to
(30:40):
sleep at night. And and let me tell you, people
can see through this lunacy. They could see through the
fact that you know, the Democrats, you know, I said, well,
they they're trying to save democracy. Well look what they
did to Bernie Sanders in twenty and sixteen. Believe me,
if Bernie Sanders was the VP now, they would have
gotten rid of him in a heartbeat. The only reason
they couldn't get rid of Kamala Harris is so obvious.
(31:00):
They weren't going to pass over. And believe me, they
would have rather had Gavin Newsom. Believe me, they would
have rather had somebody else. But they were not going
to pass over Kamala because of how it looked. It
looks she's a woman, she's a person of color. They
were like, but believe me, there was long discussions about that.
So in twenty sixteen they passed over Bernie Sanders, even
(31:21):
though he was gonna win, but they were not going
to allow that to happen because they're not. All they
care about is keeping power the Democrat, the National Committee
and so. And then twenty twenty they had everybody else quit.
And even though Biden lost the first two primaries, and
then they pushed you know, Biden so that they don't
want a choice. You used to have a choice, you
(31:41):
know in the primaries. They don't have a choice anymore.
The Democrats don't want to give you a choice. And
then even in the convention this year, they could have
had a choice. They could add people decide, but they
don't want you to decide. They don't want Democratic voters
to decide they want to decide for you, and that
should be a real lesson. That's why they have to
get beaten soundly this time, so that we could we
only allow two parties. I mean, I supported Robert Kennedy
(32:03):
and I'm very happy that he's supporting Donald Trump now,
you know, make America healthy again. But they don't want
to have a choice, and so that's why it's important
that you know, they lose not just this time, but
three times in a row, at least in the executive
so that you know, two Reagan administrations and then one
Bush basically in the future coming so that you get
(32:25):
back to a normal Democratic party, so somebody will come
in like you know what Bill Clinton originally was, you know,
a middle of the road centrist Democrat. So they had
a chance to win and a chance to be normal,
not like this the craziness that's happening. Nobody voted in
Ohio to send thirty thousand Haitians into Springfield, Ohio. Nobody
(32:45):
voted for that. And the Democrats do they not want
you to vote. They don't want you to think they're
going to make decisions for you. And this cannot stand.
And that's why they're gonna lose. So my question to
anyone who's listening out there, do you hate Donald Trump
more then you love your country. If you love your
country more than that's the choice, you gotta take.
Speaker 1 (33:04):
It well, said Rob Schneider. The book is out. Encourage
everybody to go check it out. Appreciate you coming into
our New York City, New York City studio. We'll see
you again soon.
Speaker 3 (33:15):
Thank you so much.
Speaker 1 (33:17):
Buck, you ready get your pen? Maybe Rob wants to
do this too, he can get his pen. It's Prize
Picks time. I don't know Ali is Rob a big
sports fan? I'm not sure, but I also I.
Speaker 3 (33:26):
Didn't get a chance to talk about Zelensky. But that's right.
Speaker 1 (33:29):
Are you much times? Come back? All right?
Speaker 3 (33:33):
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (33:33):
I've got a winner for everybody else. Picks dot Com.
This is for this for the NFL game tonight Dallas Cowboys.
I believe on the road in New York City where
you are playing against the Giants. Technically it's New Jersey,
but it's close.
Speaker 3 (33:47):
Okay, I have I can say something about this, all right.
Speaker 1 (33:50):
Prizepicks dot Com, my name Clay. Prize Picks dot Com.
I name Clay. You get fifty bucks if you go in, Buck,
here's the winner. We got an automatic win. Caleb Williams.
They're giving us to win over a half passing yard
get it down, all right, Dak Prescott less than two
hundred and sixty two and a half passing yards. I
don't think he's gonna throw f out. I think it's
(34:10):
gonna be a low scoring game. Molik Neighbors more than
seventy two and a half receiving yards. Guy's been on fire,
young wide receiver out of LSU, starting to get a
little bit of rhythm. And Cede Lamb more than eighty
two and a half. He called out basically himself for
poor performance. So I've got more for Melik Neighbors, more
(34:31):
for Cede Lamb, less for Dak Prescott, and then we
get an automatic win with Caleb Williams, Rob Buck, everybody
out there ten to one if I'm right, Pricepicks, dot Com,
Code Clay, Wow, you.
Speaker 3 (34:45):
Know what that's Those are all very It always sounds
really good, and then the game's over and you go,
well that was crazy what I said.
Speaker 1 (34:52):
Yeah, But by the way, Rob, this is why I
say to everybody out there, if you think I'm a moron,
and believe it or not. Some people do. You can
take the exact opposite of on I just said, still play.
Speaker 2 (35:01):
I'm giving you one more shot here, I've got all,
I've got my picks all lined up here. Mister Caleb Williams,
mister Dak Prescott, c D Lamb, big fan of c D.
Speaker 3 (35:12):
We'll see the Lamb's gonna do more than eighty two yards.
So but that's the trick because and then you go
to Dak Prescott to sixty one. How do they know exactly?
Because it's amazing because they always do, and they're better
at it than we are. That's why, you know, gamblers,
the best thing I ever heard was that gamblers. God
wants gamblers to lose. And it's because of this two
(35:33):
sixty one, because that's exactly more or less what Dak's
gonna get. So I agree with you. The other three
I think are going to be you can win those,
but that's the one that's gonna cost everybody.
Speaker 1 (35:44):
On the line.
Speaker 2 (35:44):
We'll see. I'm rolling with Clay on this one. I
trust him on these prize.
Speaker 1 (35:48):
Picks, pricepicks dot Com, Code Clay thanks to Rob Schneider,

Appreciate all of you. We'll see you tomorrow.
Welcome back in Gleny Travis buck Sexton Show. We are
all into the third hour, Thursday edition of the program.
We will take your calls as we continue to roll
throughout this program, and we're reacting to a couple different things.
One Kamala's disastrous MSNBC interview, in particular her lack of
understanding of basic economics. We're talking about we still need
(00:24):
to play a little cut, a couple of cuts before
we're done of the Milania Trump interview as well. But
we're reacting right now to Eric Adams being charged with felonies.
He is the mayor of New York City. We just
had a caller I don't know if he's still there,
that was talking about it. It occurs to me, Buck,
let me just kind of lay out what roughly the
(00:44):
outline is based on the indictment. There are a couple
of different parts of the indictment. I believe five count
felony indictment brought against Mayor Eric Adams. The allegations there
Democrat Mayor Eric Adams to the extent we need to emphasize,
but he is the New York City mayor of the Democrat.
He is accused of accepting improper benefits essentially from Turkish airlines,
(01:09):
which has been written about and alleged before that he
was getting upgrades on flights to Turkey and better treatment
than he otherwise would have if he were not a politician.
He is accused in some way manor buck of a
quid pro quo that Turkey needed help with their new
(01:29):
sort of residents. What would you call that? It wasn't
an ambassador location because it's New York.
Speaker 2 (01:34):
City consulate, so embassies have ambassadors and embassies are all
located in DC. Consulates are additional diplomatic facilities outside of
the capitol.
Speaker 1 (01:44):
Boom, there you go. So what he was trying to
get for them is being alleged was help in getting
an occupancy, as I understand it, okay, based on to
a large extent, whether the fire alarms met codes are
not and they were having difficulty getting people to come
check the fire alarms, and he said that he would help,
(02:08):
which is honestly what a lot of what politicians do.
And so they came and they got the premises signed
off on and they were able to open and do
their events. Okay. There's also allegations that there were a
campaign contributions made. And this is honestly buck. I think
this happens everywhere at this point. But people were making
(02:31):
donations and they were sometimes using so called straw men.
You're limited, I believe, right now to thirty three hundred
dollars contributions direct to candidates. You can give double that
one for the primary, one for the general. I think
the totality is roughly sixty six hundred dollars. Don't quote
me on that exactly. I am not a federal elections lawyer,
(02:53):
but I think those are the numbers. Sometimes they will
use names of other people as straw men donors. Somebody
actually gives twenty k, and then maybe they're only allowed
to give three thousand or six thousand or whatever the
limit is, and they use other names. I actually think
this is happening on a massive scale right now with
(03:16):
Act Blue, which is the Democrats online fundraising group, where
they are going out getting small dollar donors and there
are some people saying, hey, I've never given a dollar before,
but somehow their names are ending up on the list
for that. They have brought charges against Mayor Eric Adams. Now,
my argument, I think you sign off on a two
buck is relative to the charges that are being brought.
(03:41):
This is fairly low level influence pedaling that does not
rise to the level of say Menendez in New Jersey,
who's getting hundreds of thousands of dollars, gold bars, everything else.
The quid pro quo, ain't a lot of quid and
ain't a lot of pro quo going on here.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
Well, looks this is from the PBS right up of it.
I'm just trying to make sure because I see different
things about the straw Man dollar number or the straw
Man donations. How much did he get from these straw
straw Man donations ten thousand dollars in matching funds as
a result of the false certifications, according to the indictment.
(04:20):
Now other people are saying ten he got ten million
dollars in illicit funding.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
I haven't.
Speaker 3 (04:26):
I don't know if.
Speaker 1 (04:27):
They're I don't know where. I've only seen the ten thousand.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
You've always been ten thousand, right, I've only said the
indictman says ten thousand, ten thousand dollars for a New
York City mayor's race is nothing. Okay, that is a This.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
Is like a twenty million buck.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
So when you if I told you that you had
twenty million dollars in the bank and you had to
pay a ten thousand dollars fine, you'd say, hmm, okay,
I thick, I'll be all right, Like you wouldn't care
at all. So it's very small dollars relative to what
we're talking about here in term of the full scope
of that campaign. And look, I'm not an Adams I
(05:03):
think Adams has done a bad job as mayor. I
think he's better than Deblasio, who was an outright communist
who really was trying to ruin the city because he
thought that shared misery was social justice. But I think
that Adam's a little better than a Blasio in terms
of how he's run the city. I'm not an Adams partisan,
but I am seeing this, and this brings us to
(05:24):
the next sort of phase of this Clay. Really, they're
bringing this indictment against a very prominent He's a national
level political figure.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
Just being the mayor of New York.
Speaker 2 (05:34):
Most people who read the newspaper are gonna know who
the mayor of New York City is, Okay, I mean,
you know, maybe not everywhere in the country, but certainly
anywhere on the East Coast. You're gonna know if you
watch the evening news, you're gonna know the mayor of
Nick City is eight point six million people, whatever it is.
So why bring this indictment now?
Speaker 1 (05:53):
Is the point?
Speaker 2 (05:54):
And especially given that it is not. I was thinking,
oh my, they must have him. I mean, think about
what Hunter Biden did. But just to give you a
sense of skill, hunter Biden was accepting. I think it
was all total. I wish you had Mornda Devine here.
I think it was thirty million dollars in money for
(06:15):
basically nothing. And the whole game was it was for
future business ventures. But the business venture was access to
his dad, and his dad calling in favors for him. Yes, right,
And this is where politics can get a little murky. Now,
that's slimy, and not paying taxes on it is criminal,
and hiding the source of it is criminal. It's money laundering.
I mean, there's things that he did that were clearly crimes.
(06:37):
But if there's no quid pro quo, if there's no
offering of I'll do this for that, is it criminal?
Speaker 1 (06:44):
I don't you know.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
That's where it gets a bit stickier. And in this case,
you're just talking about such lower level stuff that to me,
it feels like, remember, if you're a prosecutor, also, the
best cases you can bring, generally a public corruption cases,
if you want to get to higher office afterwards, if
you want to be Attorney General for the you know,
(07:06):
for the DOJ, if you want to rise in your career,
the thing that you really put at the top of
your resume as a federal prosecutor's federal corruption cases more
than really anything else.
Speaker 1 (07:18):
And what I would say for everybody out there is
based on this indictment. If they investigated Eric Adams for
nearly a year, is my recollection buck when they first
did the raids, and this is all they could find.
They seized this cell phones, they had everybody's email addresses,
They went through, basically with the fine tooth comb his
(07:38):
entire background, and this is all the charges they could
find against him. I would based on this indictment, just
as I said that I would vote not guilty if
I were on a New York City jury for Donald
Trump in the Trump what I believe is trumped up
charges thirty four felonies over bookkeeping, I would voted not
(08:00):
guilty if I had been seated on that jury based
on this indictment, even if you assume everything that is
in there is true, I think I would vote not
guilty for Eric Adams. Now, some of you out there,
like the caller we just had called in, He's like, oh,
if there's any sort of hint of corruption, there should
be charges bought. I respect that principle. That's not the
(08:22):
world we live in. The world we live in right
now is if you're on the side of the people
in power, by and large, you can get away with anything.
If you're contra the people in power, they're going to
try to throw you in prison at the first opportunity.
We've seen this for Trump and everybody around him. What
I'm saying is, if you're troubled by what happened to Trump,
(08:44):
I think, based on this indictment, you should be troubled
by what happened to Eric Adams because but to me,
what it suggests is there's people out there more powerful
than Democrats or Republicans, and if you run a foul
of them. The part line is not what preserves you.
It's whether you're on the right side of the people
(09:04):
that are in a position of power. And I think
Hunter Biden found this out as soon as his daddy
wasn't very powerful anymore. Guess what happened. Charges in Delaware,
charges in California. He may get a pardon. But as
soon as you're not moving in the direction that the
grand sort of power brokers want and they don't find
you very useful, or God forbid you go against them
(09:27):
in any way, they're gonna throw the book at you,
and you better watch out.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
So this is from the indictment again. This is where
I get. I get a little confused. Eric Adams, the defendant,
I'm reading from the indictment. Yeah, compounded his gains from
the straw contributions by using them to defraud New York
City and steal public funds. New York City has a
matching funds program that matches small dollar contributions from individual
city residents with up to eight times their amount in
(09:53):
public funds to give New Yorkers a greater voice in elections.
Adams campaign applied for matching funds based on known straw donations,
fraudulently obtaining as much as two thousand dollars in public
funds for each illegal contribution. Adams and those working at
his direction falsely certified compliance with applicable campaign finance regulations,
(10:16):
despite Adam's repeated acceptance of straw donations, relying on the
concealed nature of these illegal contributions to falsely portray his
campaign is law abiding. Here's the key line, Clay. As
a result of those false certifications, Adam's twenty twenty one
mayoral campaign received more than ten million dollars in public funds.
(10:39):
Like you see what I'm saying here, So he obtains
two thousand dollars in public funds for each illegal contribution,
So he would have had to receive I'm trying to
do the math on the fly on medio.
Speaker 1 (10:53):
Not a good idea.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
Yeah, to man have had to do hundreds and hundreds
of straw donors to get to ten million from the math.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
Again, when I read it, the math does not add
up comes in. This is where it's messy. I think
what they're saying is that he raised ten million in
small dollar donors total, but they're not attributing it to
this one particular aspect of his campaign. Right, So it's
(11:24):
a first of all, this is a messy indictment. But
also I think the way that is written is first
of all, that you can make up to eight times
as much is MESSI the idea is that that is
protecting small dollar donors and giving them more of a
voice than they otherwise would have. But again, to me,
(11:48):
reading this indictment in totality, someone decided to order the
code red on Mayor Eric Adams, like someone decided to
order the code red on Donald Trump. And these, even
when one's a Democrat, ones are Republican. I think for
me as a lawyer, what I look at and say
(12:09):
is our justice system is not in the business right
now of treating like crimes in a like manner. It
treats people who are willing to challenge the establishment very
different than it does people who are going along with establishment.
And so I actually, I don't know what. Again, I'm
(12:30):
fascinated by it. And I saw our friend Alex Berenson,
who initially poop pooed all this. Have you seen him
on Twitter? Now he's come around. Yeah, Because initially when
I tweeted out last night, hey, this feels like a
political hit job to me, a lot of people said, oh,
you're crazy. There's and now they're reading the indictment and
they're actually like, there's not a lot of here here.
(12:51):
And so I'm curious. Trump's going to have a press
conference in was it four point thirty Eastern? I think
in New York City. I'm with you on this.
Speaker 2 (12:59):
He's going to come out and be like, they're treating
Mayor Adams terribly, terribly for Mayor Adams, not a great guy,
not a terrible guy, treating him very unfairly, very unfairly.
Speaker 3 (13:08):
I think that's what he's gonna say.
Speaker 1 (13:09):
If he talks about it. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (13:11):
No, I think it's because he knows that Adams. Adams
was critical as a turning point in the narrative nationally
about just how out of control the migrant situation is.
When New York's largest cities may I mean, sorry, America's
largest Citi's mayor says we can't handle the influx. What
(13:32):
does it mean for El Paso or Springfield, Ohio or wherever?
Speaker 1 (13:37):
Right?
Speaker 2 (13:37):
I mean, it just was a sea change moment in
the way that we talk about these migrants that you know,
ten million of them have come in under Biden Kamala's watch.
Speaker 1 (13:48):
Buck. At the end of this hour, you know what,
it's time for price picks. I'm going to hopefully get
a winner for everybody out there that's coming in addition
to Rob Who's going to be in our New York
City studio. All that on the way. But it's Thursday.
I'm going to have a big weekend. I'm headed down
to Tuscaloosa for the Georgia Alabama game. I'm gonna be tired,
(14:10):
probably gonna need a little bit of energy. Crockett coffee helps.
But I'm also going to be using my buddy Seaton's
chalk product right now, the mal Vitality Stack, one of
the best sellers. TA levels decline as you age. Look
at the men who are voting for Kamala Harris, their
testosterone levels may well be negative. I don't even know
(14:31):
how that's possible, but when I see a Kamala mail voter,
I think that is a man with testosterone level that
is so low it may not be measurable. If you
don't want to be solow on your testosterone that it
might not be measurable. You need to put some chalk
in your life. All natural can increase your testosterone by
twenty percent over three months, and right now they got
(14:52):
a big time discount when you use my name for life.
You may have seen me recently bench pressing one hundred
and eighty five pounds ten times. Some would say, so
am I strong for a radio host? Definitely? If you
want to be strong, you need some testosterone in your life.
You can check it out five zero chalk three thousand,
say Clay and Bucks sent me five zero chalk three thousand,
(15:14):

Speaker 2 (15:40):
Welcome back in team. We've got some calls coming in here.
We've also got Rob Schneider joining us shortly.
Speaker 1 (15:44):
That'll be fun.
Speaker 2 (15:45):
I've ever seen Rob Schneider movies back in the day.
Speaker 1 (15:47):
Set them on us. I know we've got Joe in Florida.
He's a lawyer. What's up, Joe?
Speaker 5 (15:53):
Thanks for taking a call. Guy, he's a great show.
Thank I got firsthand experience in getting money to politicians
the most legal way and doing it almost like the
mayor did, can I should I tell you? Sure?
Speaker 3 (16:09):
Sure, Okay.
Speaker 5 (16:12):
I used to practice law. I retired fifteen years ago.
When a rich client would come to me and say,
I need to give one hundred grand to this senator. Now,
they were no matching funds for senators, so we weren't
taking money from any entity. But I got to get
them one hundred thousand. Figure out a legal way to
do it. Well, you can't just give them cash because
(16:34):
the limit is like forty six hundred at the time
per election per person. So I said, look, you have,
you know, twenty people you could trust. Here's what I
want you to do. Send them all a check of
forty six hundred and say I'm giving you this as
a gift. You have no obligation to give it back
(16:54):
to me, none whatsoever. You can spend it as you
want and that's it. Now they all knew the guy
needed to fund ex senators race. Only one o two
out of twenty would burn my clients.
Speaker 1 (17:12):
That's thank you for the call. That's very dangerous. Just FYI.
I mean, what you're trying to do is what he described.
You're trying to get as much money into a politician's
hands as you can, and you're giving someone money that
they then reallocate to that politician. A lot of prosecutors
would come and look after that. The better solution, I
(17:33):
would say, now, if you're super rich and you want
to donate to a politician, give the maxes that you can,
and then you can give to a pack that's a
political action committee, which doesn't have restrictions on how many
dollars you can give. It theoretically is not directly coordinating
with the campaign. But again, the straw men donors thing
buck is very common. Be careful.
Speaker 2 (17:55):
You don't want to get anywhere It's like straw purchasing
a firearm. You don't want to get anywhere near that.
Underneath the revote stock market that we're seeing and the
near record high, the economy actually has some big problems.
There are some folks over at Stansbury Research, which does
incredible financial research, that think that there's something you really
(18:15):
need to be aware of. They talk about these strange
accidents that are happening across America and why we've seen
reports of nine to one call centers going offline, red
reports of a plane falling apart mid flight. One of
the big reveals with the number of train accidents last year,
some forty seven hundred in all. Learn why so many
accidents are taking place in America and exactly where and
(18:35):
when the next big accident is most likely to occur.
Very likely to affect you, especially if you have money
in the bank or the market. Go to America disaster
dot com for the full story and hear the report
explained to you. That's America disaster dot com to get
the full story on America's next big accident and how
to protect you, your family, and your money. America disaster
(18:56):
dot com.
Speaker 1 (18:57):
Welcome back in Klay Travis Bucks Exton show in our
New York City studio right now, Rob Schneider, actor, director, producer,
Emmy nominated SNL writer. He's got a brand new book out.
You can do it. Speak your mind America. Rob, Let's
start right here.
Speaker 3 (19:15):
Thank you, Buck, Thank you so much for having me.
Speaker 1 (19:17):
I want to have some fun. SNL is going to
be starting their new season soon.
Speaker 3 (19:21):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (19:22):
Rarely has there been a candidate more lampoonable than both
Joe Biden and now Kamala Harris. Yet they have consistently
pulled their punches because they're afraid. I think of alienating
blue voters.
Speaker 3 (19:36):
I think the last couple of seasons they've come around
a little bit better. Do you think don't go out
any institutions. I think they will. I think you have
to go after whoever's in power. And you know, I mean,
Kamala loves to present herself. We're not going back, We're
not going back. Well, who's been in power the last
three and a half years. You have, And so this
idea that she's this new spirit, this new wave of
(19:57):
political genius coming in. I mean, so they'll have to
and and I think that they they have the last years.
So I mean, any institution, a Saturday Night Live is
an institution. It is susceptible to whatever, you know. Woke
nonsense has been infecting you know, you know, our society
the last few years. And but I think they've they've
(20:18):
done a good job at correcting it. I think you
know the fact that you know who was the comedian
that they fired? Who was hired? They're the really funny
comedian who was a has his own Yeah he.
Speaker 1 (20:30):
Does all and I'm bad with names, but he does
all the But like I forget, but then they brought
it back as they caught.
Speaker 3 (20:36):
I mean I mean this, they did the same thing.
San gillis. Yeah, they did the same thing to Norm
McDonald when they fired him, because they had to because
you know, the head Honchos, we're friends with OJ. He
was making OJ jokes every day, even they told him
not to wait.
Speaker 2 (20:49):
He got fired for making OJ jokes.
Speaker 3 (20:51):
Oh yeah, that's an old story. But but then, you know,
you know the thing about they brought Norm McDonald back
to host, and that's a credit to you know, to
the genius, you know, Lauren Michaels. So I think they're
going to be fine. I'm looking forward to a new
season and I hope they do, because it'll be pretty
obvious if they don't that they're they're just picking sides.
But SNL every you know, I mean, look at all
(21:12):
the late night hosts, they're all, uh, they always lean
left and and you cannot kind of understand it. But
I think you got to make fun of where the
power base is and and the insane job.
Speaker 2 (21:22):
As you know, the the biggest late night show now
by audience by Nielsen is.
Speaker 3 (21:31):
Yeah, and he's great, and you could tell the difference
because America is sick and tired of of having being
force fed and ideas and pre chewed for them and
stuck down their gullets like I mean that that was
a really disgusting thing to me. Probably the most despicable
thing I've ever seen on late night was seeing the
dancing syringes on Stephen Colbert's show.
Speaker 1 (21:52):
I mean, vaccine.
Speaker 3 (21:53):
That was very much like that's something out of more
than just the Soviet you know. It seemed like something
out of the Khmer Rouge, you know. So, I mean
just very beyond cringe. And you know, all those late
night guys, whether it's you know, Jimmy Fallon or them,
all those those monologues you could have I mean, there
was no original voice in any of them, no individual voice.
(22:15):
You could have interchanged them all. It didn't matter. So
I think, though, if you want to survive, and you
can see what happens is people are tired of being
told what to think and they want to make their
own decisions. And that's why Greg Guttfeld is the number
one show.
Speaker 1 (22:27):
Right now, we're trying to by a lot. You're right,
we're talking to Rob Schneider. I was in a movie
called Lady Ballers that Daily Wire made, which is about
dudes pretending to be chicks and trying to win a championship.
It was actually really funny, well done, and as part
of the filming, I just had like a small part
on it. But we got into an interesting discussion. And
as a comedian, I'm curious how you would analyze this.
(22:50):
There were so many hysterical movies made that everybody loved white, black, Asian, Hispanic, gay, straight, male, female,
whatever you want to say in the early two thousands,
certainly in the eighties, in the nineties, and there are
tons of classics, and then about twoenty twelve ish, it
was like comedy wasn't allowed anymore. Do you see a
rebirth of comedy happening in Hollywood. Everybody got afraid of
(23:13):
offending all these different groups.
Speaker 3 (23:15):
It's not gonna come from Hollywood. It's gonna gonna come
from It's gonna come from guys like Matt Walsh. It's
gonna come mean obviously, the I mean, it's it's just
a no brainer that the funny, the best comedy right
now is coming from conservatives.
Speaker 1 (23:27):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (23:27):
I would just tell people that, like, there's no such
thing as conservatives. They're just liberals that aren't crazy, that
aren't lunatics, that that aren't sure which you know that
that you know, like the liberals and aren't sure which
bathrooms to use. You know, it's the ones who do
know which bathrooms to use. You know, this is the
people who are being logical and rational. And I think,
you know, Hollywood, if they're anything, they're whores and they're
(23:50):
gonna go with where the money is. And if if
movies like Matt Walsh is you know what is a woman?
And am I a racist? When they start making money,
they're gonna wake people up. I mean it's funny because
they shunned Mel Gibson's movie, you know, The Passion of
the Christ until it made a billion dollars and then
what happened the whorors in Hollywood? You think they care
(24:12):
about Jesus or Christianity, but then Sony, you know, Sony
Picture is probably the most you know, a very demonic
organization if it ever existed. They have a whole category
now for Christian movies. You think they're Christian at all,
They don't care and care less about that. They couldn't quote,
you know, anything from the Bible at all. They just
(24:32):
know that's where the money is. So I think you'd
be a fool to be a Christian and try to
make something without organization. That's about as hypocritical as you get.
So again, what's funny is funny, and the audience is
going to decide. When you have a movie like Matt
Walsh's and My Racist and you see people laughing at
it and the audience laughing hysterically, that's that's proof. I mean. Unfortunately,
(24:57):
you know, Asasha Baron Cohen is a genius and probably
the bravest comedian who's ever lived. I mean what he
did with Borat and then the other movie physically putting
himself in jeopardy. I just don't think any comedian as
I've ever seen do that. But I think he's also
ideologically captured and is not just going for comedy where
you need to make. Where's what I think satire is.
(25:19):
It is going after what is deserving of ridicule. And
these people who just think you're automatically systemically racist in
a society of racist because of the color of your
skin is just you have to It's lunacy, and it's
also it's not just wrong, and it's not just immoral.
What it really is is a It is an inverse
(25:41):
of what these progressives, and it's always progressives, and these
are people that are really demonic. What they did one
hundred and twenty years ago at the progressive movement was
they were these were called eugenics back then, and that
was where saying that these people are inferior because of
the color of their skin, and therefore you need to
make a better people through breeding, you know, just these
(26:04):
are this is what they thought. And this was you know,
even the the Supreme Court justice at the time. You know,
of Gosh, I'm blanking his name now, but this was
the scientific thought at the time. And so what happened
was obviously eugenics became when you see the zenith of
it was Nazi Germany just murdering people that they considered inferior.
(26:25):
So eugenics lost rightfully, lost all credibility and you were
a xenophobe, crazy person if you believed in it. And
now you cut to one hundred years later, you see
the same stuff again, but it's inverse. Now. These people
because of the color of their skin, they're automatically victims,
and these people, because of the color of their skin,
they're automatically racist. And so it's just another manipulation and
(26:48):
it's just another way of of of graft and fleecing
the public and manipulating people into giving them money and power.
And that's what's I mean, that's what you see happening.
Speaker 2 (27:01):
Now we're talking to Rob Schneider. His book is You
Can Do It, Speak your Mind America.
Speaker 3 (27:08):
Rob Oliver Wendell Holmes was the name of the Supreme
Grudge Justice.
Speaker 2 (27:13):
Sorry, no, no, very good. Sometimes things are funny by
accident or without without intention. Obviously I would put Kamala
Harris's interview with Stephanie Rule yesterday in that in that category.
Speaker 3 (27:28):
You'd have to. I mean, the thing about it, you
understand why they don't want Kamala to be interviewed. And
I said, they did a very good job I don't
know if she had an earpiece or not during the debate,
but she did a good job of of you know,
of of avoiding answering questions like she always does, you know.
And then I like that, you know, the this is
how good of a journalist. They have an MSNBC, which
(27:51):
is there she's defending her interviewee for not answering questions,
say she doesn't have to answer questions. Why should she
have to answer and be specific. Why should she give
her way? You know, you have a person who has
given this anointed. You have on one side, you have
somebody they tried to murder two times, and they have
(28:14):
another person who's no one voted for in the primaries,
and they just anointed. And say which one do you
think has the best chance for actually defending a republic.
I'm gonna go with Trump.
Speaker 1 (28:26):
We're talking to Rob Schneider. A couple of questions for
you that are kind of tied in. I really like
Hub Halloween. I've got kids. You're in that movie. You've
been in a lot of Adam Sandler movies. That's a
tease for everybody out there if you're looking for a
fun family Halloween movie to watch up on Netflix. Really good.
You've been in a lot of Adam Sandler movies. You've
done a lot of movies yourself over the years. So
(28:49):
two part question here. One, how often do people knowing
what your politics are privately pull you aside. I've spent
a lot of time in LA This happens a lot
to me and say, hey, I agree with everything you're saying, Like,
give you a fifth pound and then stay quiet themselves
that's part one part two, and this may be quick.
Are you involved in Happy Gilmore to at all? I
(29:11):
don't think you were in Happy Gilmore one unless I.
Speaker 3 (29:14):
Wasn't, so I'm not in the second one for Happy
gal More. But and also Adam wants me to watch it,
so you know, we can have somebody who doesn't know
anything about the script and just watch it and get
laughs and then to see what I'm laughing at because
it's not done. He's filming it right now.
Speaker 1 (29:28):
Okay. I thought it was petition.
Speaker 3 (29:30):
It's only in week three right now.
Speaker 1 (29:32):
Okay, great. So going back to that question for Hollywood
other people, how does it happen?
Speaker 3 (29:37):
I got a call from an Academy Award winning son
of an actor and and he said, listen, I agree
with everything you say, and I want to be I
want to speak up too, but I'm worried about, you know,
losing work. And I said, you will lose work and
it will cost you money, but it's going to cost
you more to not speak your mind. But just be
careful how you do it. Be judicious, don't lose work
(29:58):
over it. Don't talk to the ahead of your streaming
service or you know, the executive because they're captured, and
you know, it'll be like a brownie that they get for,
you know, thinking on you, just like you know, Mayor
Guyetti in Los Angeles on a fink on your neighbors.
It's the same thing with this woke mind virus. But
I said, talk, So don't talk to him, don't talk
(30:18):
to the producer, don't talk to the director because they're
probably ideologically captured, at least if you know, they speak
it whether they believe it or not. And I said,
talk to the boom guy, talk to the guy who
puts on the microphone, Talk to your makeup lady, talk
to the driver. But talk to people. Talk to your family.
It may cost you, you know, maybe your uncle won't
come this Thanksgiving, but at least you'll be able to
(30:40):
sleep at night. And and let me tell you, people
can see through this lunacy. They could see through the
fact that you know, the Democrats, you know, I said, well,
they they're trying to save democracy. Well look what they
did to Bernie Sanders in twenty and sixteen. Believe me,
if Bernie Sanders was the VP now, they would have
gotten rid of him in a heartbeat. The only reason
they couldn't get rid of Kamala Harris is so obvious.
(31:00):
They weren't going to pass over. And believe me, they
would have rather had Gavin Newsom. Believe me, they would
have rather had somebody else. But they were not going
to pass over Kamala because of how it looked. It
looks she's a woman, she's a person of color. They
were like, but believe me, there was long discussions about that.
So in twenty sixteen they passed over Bernie Sanders, even
(31:21):
though he was gonna win, but they were not going
to allow that to happen because they're not. All they
care about is keeping power the Democrat, the National Committee
and so. And then twenty twenty they had everybody else quit.
And even though Biden lost the first two primaries, and
then they pushed you know, Biden so that they don't
want a choice. You used to have a choice, you
(31:41):
know in the primaries. They don't have a choice anymore.
The Democrats don't want to give you a choice. And
then even in the convention this year, they could have
had a choice. They could add people decide, but they
don't want you to decide. They don't want Democratic voters
to decide they want to decide for you, and that
should be a real lesson. That's why they have to
get beaten soundly this time, so that we could we
only allow two parties. I mean, I supported Robert Kennedy
(32:03):
and I'm very happy that he's supporting Donald Trump now,
you know, make America healthy again. But they don't want
to have a choice, and so that's why it's important
that you know, they lose not just this time, but
three times in a row, at least in the executive
so that you know, two Reagan administrations and then one
Bush basically in the future coming so that you get
(32:25):
back to a normal Democratic party, so somebody will come
in like you know what Bill Clinton originally was, you know,
a middle of the road centrist Democrat. So they had
a chance to win and a chance to be normal,
not like this the craziness that's happening. Nobody voted in
Ohio to send thirty thousand Haitians into Springfield, Ohio. Nobody
(32:45):
voted for that. And the Democrats do they not want
you to vote. They don't want you to think they're
going to make decisions for you. And this cannot stand.
And that's why they're gonna lose. So my question to
anyone who's listening out there, do you hate Donald Trump
more then you love your country. If you love your
country more than that's the choice, you gotta take.
Speaker 1 (33:04):
It well, said Rob Schneider. The book is out. Encourage
everybody to go check it out. Appreciate you coming into
our New York City, New York City studio. We'll see
you again soon.
Speaker 3 (33:15):
Thank you so much.
Speaker 1 (33:17):
Buck, you ready get your pen? Maybe Rob wants to
do this too, he can get his pen. It's Prize
Picks time. I don't know Ali is Rob a big
sports fan? I'm not sure, but I also I.
Speaker 3 (33:26):
Didn't get a chance to talk about Zelensky. But that's right.
Speaker 1 (33:29):
Are you much times? Come back? All right?
Speaker 3 (33:33):
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (33:33):
I've got a winner for everybody else. Picks dot Com.
This is for this for the NFL game tonight Dallas Cowboys.
I believe on the road in New York City where
you are playing against the Giants. Technically it's New Jersey,
but it's close.
Speaker 3 (33:47):
Okay, I have I can say something about this, all right.
Speaker 1 (33:50):
Prizepicks dot Com, my name Clay. Prize Picks dot Com.
I name Clay. You get fifty bucks if you go in, Buck,
here's the winner. We got an automatic win. Caleb Williams.
They're giving us to win over a half passing yard
get it down, all right, Dak Prescott less than two
hundred and sixty two and a half passing yards. I
don't think he's gonna throw f out. I think it's
(34:10):
gonna be a low scoring game. Molik Neighbors more than
seventy two and a half receiving yards. Guy's been on fire,
young wide receiver out of LSU, starting to get a
little bit of rhythm. And Cede Lamb more than eighty
two and a half. He called out basically himself for
poor performance. So I've got more for Melik Neighbors, more
(34:31):
for Cede Lamb, less for Dak Prescott, and then we
get an automatic win with Caleb Williams, Rob Buck, everybody
out there ten to one if I'm right, Pricepicks, dot Com,
Code Clay, Wow, you.
Speaker 3 (34:45):
Know what that's Those are all very It always sounds
really good, and then the game's over and you go,
well that was crazy what I said.
Speaker 1 (34:52):
Yeah, But by the way, Rob, this is why I
say to everybody out there, if you think I'm a moron,
and believe it or not. Some people do. You can
take the exact opposite of on I just said, still play.
Speaker 2 (35:01):
I'm giving you one more shot here, I've got all,
I've got my picks all lined up here. Mister Caleb Williams,
mister Dak Prescott, c D Lamb, big fan of c D.
Speaker 3 (35:12):
We'll see the Lamb's gonna do more than eighty two yards.
So but that's the trick because and then you go
to Dak Prescott to sixty one. How do they know exactly?
Because it's amazing because they always do, and they're better
at it than we are. That's why, you know, gamblers,
the best thing I ever heard was that gamblers. God
wants gamblers to lose. And it's because of this two
(35:33):
sixty one, because that's exactly more or less what Dak's
gonna get. So I agree with you. The other three
I think are going to be you can win those,
but that's the one that's gonna cost everybody.
Speaker 1 (35:44):
On the line.
Speaker 2 (35:44):
We'll see. I'm rolling with Clay on this one. I
trust him on these prize.
Speaker 1 (35:48):
Picks, pricepicks dot Com, Code Clay thanks to Rob Schneider,
