We're going to have some fun with the view. But I had them, I was trying to pay attention to the Supreme Court argument on racial gerrymandering that is happening today because I think it has the potential to be.

incredibly consequential and transformative to the political process in the country. And let me give you a one minute take on exactly what is its stake. Historically, black voters were suppressed from the polls prior to the civil rights movement in the South. That is not a historical fallacy. That is in fact historical truth. As a result, there was an entire line of jurisprudence dealing with voting rights. that were trying to rectify the wrong of majority black voters in the South who were being restricted in many ways from poll access. Therefore, they did not have a substantial say in the Democrat process in many southern states. That was wrong. That was before Buck and I were born a long time, before Buck was born, quite some time before I was born, since he is much younger than me. But so that process. Unfortunately, now has polluted the court rulings of the Supreme Court because we no longer, even though Democrats would like it to be the case, live in a world that is like 1965 or 1958 or 1948 or whatever year you want to go to in the South when black voters did not have the ability to get to the polls and vote for their preferred candidates. So they put in place this review of the voting process through the civil rights laws. Now what you are seeing is that... Those precedents are actually extremely racist because they are predicated on the idea that black voters sort of monolithically and uniformly vote a certain way, and that is starting to crumble. And it also creates the civil rights era court decisions, create tension with the equal protection clause that tries to treat everyone equally and does not allow race to be determinative as a factor. We have talked about this quite a lot already in the court system as it pertains to affirmative action, which the courts have ruled. Was I correct that John Roberts is the one who said the way to stop discriminating based on race is by stopping to discriminate based on race? Did we get a fact check on that? I believe I'm correct. So we have seen in the world of colleges and universities the idea of your race as a dispositive factor when it comes to your admission is not actually permissible under our constitution. And so there are still lots of ways that colleges and universities are trying to trick their way through that process, but it is not permissible to strictly have quotas, racial analysis, all of that. Okay. With that as a background, they now today are hearing an argument about that tension between the civil rights era precedence where race is allowed to be a predominant factor in the gerrymandering of congressional districts and that tension with the equal rights component, equal protection clause of our amendments in the post.

a very poor comprehension of the law that is not in any way a strong left-wing tenant. There are lots of people, Elena Kagan Buck. Elena Kagan's really smart. I don't agree with everything that most of what Elena Kagan says in her opinions, but she is of the left and she is a very smart person of the left. I do not think Sotomayor and Ketanji Brown Jackson are even eloquent advocates of the positions the left would like to put out there. And this, I think, is evidence of that with her line of questioning. Well, yeah, I mean, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, I disagreed with strenuously on a whole range of things, but she understood the arguments. She knew what the arguments of both sides were. I just don't agree with her analysis without getting into the specifics. I think Ketanji Brown Jackson doesn't even understand the argument on the side. Honestly. That's my just listening to her talk about these things. She doesn't get it. But, you know, on the one hand, this is one of these. It's very complicated. It's VRA Section 2. It's history. And I understand people's eyes roll back into their head. Yes. It's very complicated, comma, but actually very simple. Right. You're doing the complicated legal analysis side of this. Clay gets excited about the law stuff. It's like we're back in law school. Professors walking around. He says, Travis. Mr. Travis, did you do the reading last night? And, you know, Clay's doing his thing. You always did the reading, Clay. We know you did. I did. I love reading assignments. Yeah. So there's that part of it, but then there's this part of it. We just need to live in a country where we don't have racial set-asides and entitlements for anybody at all, period, full stop. And if there was ever a time where we had to make those arguments because of previous discrimination, or rather we made those concessions because we thought it would make things better, now we've reached a point where everybody should understand that that was a effectively temporary emergency measure and should no longer be the case. We should not have racial entitlements. masquerading as civil rights protections. And that is what this is. If a state is allowed, if the people in a state are allowed to redistrict, however they see fit really, because it's left to the states, but here's the problem. It's almost like drawing the borders of a country. Yeah. What justifies the borders of a country? You know, it's a complicated thing, but really it's lines on a map, and they fight over it and whatever. But there's not some more, like the border between the U.S. and Canada is not a moral question. It's a political question. Yes. And it's one that we have solved with our northern neighbors. The borders of congressional districts in various states are left to the processes and the legislatures in those states. And everybody should just be playing by the same rules within that state. There shouldn't be a...

Oh, we don't have enough black majority districts in this state. So therefore, this map is unfair because it is an equal protection clause violation because a lot of Republicans sit there and say, hold on a second. My vote has been nullified effectively by the state legislature. So why isn't it? Why is that okay? but overwhelmingly Democrat black voters in a lot of these states get to have a special protection? No, I'm sorry. We either all live by the same rules or we don't. The complex distilled down to the simple. I rest my case, counselor. I think you're right, and I think that's where we're headed. Let me add on a couple of layers here that are hopefully not super legal nerd-esque. The problem here was one that should and needed to be redressed, right? The problem is... The problem is fixed. It no longer exists. And so the precedent that made sense in 1965 doesn't make sense in 2025. I would also point this out. It is predicated on the idea that black voters are monolithic in the way that they vote. That is increasingly not the case. This is why I think it's significant that Donald Trump got 21% of black men. of their vote in 2024. One in five black guys said Trump's my guy. A lot of black guys are listening to us right now that are a part of that team. And it's growing. And there are more. Some of you guys out there, you used to never be able to find another black Republican. Now one in five. I bet you're finding a lot more people that are open to your arguments. Black women, too. This has been applied buck for Hispanic voters. Hispanic voters are basically now 50-50. They're much more similar to white voters or Asian voters where you don't have a strong sense of how somebody's going to vote based on their race and gender. If you see a white guy, now somebody see a white chick wearing the Rachel Maddow specs, you probably got a pretty good chance. Hey, that's a lib. But by and large, you see a white person. They could be conservative. They could be liberal. They could be who'd have. They don't care about politics at all. Same thing is increasingly becoming true of Hispanic voters. As you know, because you live in Miami, Buck. There's also a huge difference between a Cuban voter and a recent immigrant from Mexico or Venezuela, or the Hispanic voting block is actually very diverse depending on where that Hispanic voter is from. The monolithic nature of black support for the Democrat Party is crumbling. In times like these, they trot out someone like Ketanji Brown Jackson to argue, not based on the law, but oh my goodness, based on the result of this case, it would be harmful politically to Democrats. And that is why she is a political actor more than she is a judge. And that is unfortunate. One of the arguments we make here, and this goes to disparate impact, which is, I think, an inherently incorrect...

legal philosophy of well if the end result isn't the same among arbitrary distinctions that we're going to make between people then there's something wrong with that law um if the law is universally applicable and everybody has to live under it the outcome of that law does and you know and then the law is ethical and moral the outcome of that law does not matter to me a meeting uh and this is where we get into There is a disparate impact. I know you love this argument, but saying this for a long time, Clay. There's a disparate impact between men and women and homicides. That doesn't mean that homicide laws are bad. It just means that more men kill people. And that doesn't mean they're sexist in particular, right? It doesn't mean that men are being targeted by homicide laws because men happen to be impacted by them more. So the fact of the matter is if we're going to have a society where we don't have racial entitlements, we have to remove racial entitlements, including holdovers from the civil rights era like Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act and Clay. You were correct. It was John Roberts for the win on to stop discriminating by race, stop discriminating by race. It's pretty good. Samuel Alito is my favorite, so I thought it was going to be an Samuel Alito move, but it was actually John Roberts, so good on you. Probably the best sentence of John Roberts' career. The way to stop discrimination on the basis of race is to stop discriminating on the basis of race. I don't understand how that same logic does not govern when it comes to analyzing racial gerrymandering. And I hope John Roberts will apply the same principle in this case as he did in the decision. having to do basically with whether or not there can be affirmative action in schools. So that is going to be a huge decision. Maybe some of you are trying to face a huge decision. What do you do for the holiday season? I know I just said the holiday season and some of you are having alarm bells go off and you know it's basically two months until Christmas. Two months until Christmas.

The headlines, they move on, but the heartache and the terror, they do not. Iran and its terrorist proxies are continuing to target Israel. Hezbollah continues its attacks in the north, forcing families to live under constant threat. But Israel is not only defending her people, she is standing on the front lines against terror that threatens us all. Even when the news crews leave, the international fellowship of Christians and Jews, they remain. Every day, they are on the ground, providing life-saving aid. Now, near Israel's border with Lebanon, a Hezbollah drone recently struck the home of Yelina, widowed earlier this year, and living alone, she was trapped inside by the blast. Thankfully, she was not injured, but she remained displaced. It's hard these days, she says, but I don't want to leave. Well, as Christians, we are called to stand with God's people and pray for those defending Israel and protecting the freedoms we hold dear. I want you to join the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews in praying for the peace of Jerusalem.

You have only yourself to blame, Baxter. So I appreciate Pamela. I'm glad that she is still alive. And there are a lot of reactions rolling in and we are having a great deal of fun. I'm just trying to tell everybody, take your time, chew your food. It's very straightforward. Okay, let's go. The view, this is fun. Okay, so those of you who follow us on social media, as you all should be doing, you can find us at YouTube, you can find us at Twitter, Instagram, TikTok. I don't think there's a social media platform we're not on. I know that we have had a lot of fun with the view over the years, and we just shared from producer Ali. And producer Ali, you can come up if you want and tell the full story here. But a while back, Ali said, hey, We'll invite you, we'll tell the View people, hey, Clay and Buck are happy to come on the show. So in July, and I just shared this email from Allie to the View, and I will read it for all of you. This is a producer at the View. Hi, Lori, conservative radio host, Clay and Buck would like to pitch themselves as guests on the View. They often play clips from the program on their nationally syndicated radio show. granted as a means to refute them, and thought a sit-down will be productive for both audiences since they come from two completely different perspectives. Buck lives in Miami and Clay lives in Nashville, but they'd be willing to travel to New York. Thank you for the consideration. This went out in July. Now, I'm going to pull Ali up in a sec, but first, here is Joy Behar saying, you know, the truth of the matter is... Republicans won't come on the show. They're afraid to. Listen. I think that we should have more Republicans on the show, but they don't want to come on. They're scared of us. It's like Marjorie's Taylor Green says that she finds the Republican men afraid of powerful women. Well, that may be true of all the political persuasions. But if they would come on this show, they can explain to us what they're trying to do to this country. Okay. I don't think Buck and I are afraid of powerful women.

Challenge accepted. Challenge accepted. Let's go. All right. Producer Allie, you have now written another email to The View, reiterating. You can come up. But the email that I read you sent in July, was there a response to that email from the View? Yes. Actually, there was a quick response, very quick, saying they only had two more episodes to shoot, so their schedule was full, and they wouldn't be back until the fall. At which point I said, okay, I'll follow up in the fall. And I followed up today, and I'm waiting to hear back. And you said, can I tell you something? This is important. We're happy to do it. This is important. The view, according to Grock, has frequently had two guests on simultaneously, two guests, including politicians, authors, actors, and even musical guests who are there as a duo. So I just want to be clear, there is no reason why they could not have a Clay and Buckathon on the view based on the established parameters they have for guests in the past. Because I don't want them throwing that at us either. Because what they'll try to do, if it's just one of us, they're going to try to overtalk and just have too many voices shouting at you at the same time. Just make sure you bring that third hat. Oh, I would bring a hat for Alyssa Far Griffin, and I would hand it to her, and I would say, hey, since Trump's brought back the hostages, here is a red MAGA hat. You can put that on for this entire segment to honor President Trump's great job in bringing back the hostages. I'm going to tell you something. I think that she actually would be willing to wear the hat. I think that she worries that if she wore that hat, it would trigger other members of the table too much. Like they would, even though she said this was the marker that she laid out there, I think she realizes that the rest of the table would throw a bit about it. They have no sense of humor about it at all. By the way, Joy Behar has a writing team. They write all of her jokes. She's actually not that funny. She's not coming up with this stuff on the fly. If you watch her closely, now I'm throwing down the gauntle a little bit. You watch her closely, she's trying to find ways to get in lines that have been written by her writers. I will give, this doesn't happen very often. She does look great for her age, though. To be fair, Joy, you look great. I'm just saying. Also, she is probably not aware of most of the guests. So she may think to herself when she says Republicans are afraid to go on the show. Because to be fair, people pitch themselves on this show all the time. I mean, producer Allie, you can say, like, if people out there, like, is this a common thing? I mean, We get pitches, hundreds of pitches a year, maybe thousands, dozens a day of people who are saying, hey, we'd like to come on as a guest. So, and most of them, we never, neither Buck nor I are going and saying, we can't have this person on. So I don't necessarily know that Joy is aware of the number of people who are reaching out that would be willing to come on. So when she's saying that, she may actually believe Buck that she's being truthful. She is not, however, and we just, you know, we shared the so-called receipts of the invitation that we put out there. Hey, we're happy to come on. And by the way, you know, we would have Alyssa on this show, you know, if they wanted to put a view member on this show to promote their show. I mean, we're not running and hiding from any of that. Speaking of running and hiding, though, Buck, you were talking about this a little bit earlier.

And we've got a couple of guests, by the way, coming in the third hour. Our buddy Ryan Gerdesky, we're going to talk about the absolute latest on Virginia, New York City, and New Jersey as those elections get closer. Steve Hilton out in California to talk about the Katie Porter insanity and the potential run there. I wanted to play this because this is one of the people that is running to be a Democrat nominee for... California when Gavin Newsom is forced to term limit himself out. And she went on Pierce Morgan. And the L.A. is going to have the Olympics in 2028. The Summer Olympics are taking place in Los Angeles. It should be awesome. It'd be a lot of fun to watch. But Pierce Morgan asked this Democrat California governor's candidate, hey, what do you think about the idea of trans? women, that is men pretending to be women, being able to compete in the Olympics. And he followed up and I just want to play a cut from this because these people have lost their minds and they're totally trapped on this trans argument. Listen, it seems to me like you would like to remove any sexual differentiation between the Olympic sports and let them all compete. It would be gender neutral, would it, if you were governor? Well, again, I want to be sure that everyone has the ability to compete. Right, but would you have a Gender Neutral Olympics where you wouldn't have male and female sport then? You just have one one that everyone could join in. Well, I don't think we're going to get that tomorrow, but I think it's a conversation worth having. You think it's a conversation worth having where you have Gender Neutral Olympics? Because we need to understand what the attributes are of athletes across the spectrum. But you've already said that you understand the reason they separate the sexes is that men have a physical advantage over women. He also then, and maybe we can grab this because I think it really kind of brings it home. He says, wait, you think that a woman should run against Usain Bolt in the 100 meters, the fastest man in the history of the world? And you think that's going to be a fair competition. And basically she says yes. She doesn't know, maybe the woman would win. These people are crazy buck. And I don't know how they get off of this crazy train without. Having Supreme Court, I think your argument, you've already hit on this. That's what it is. Well, by the way, there are a few things that are making their way toward the Supreme Court right now. In fact, there is litigation out of, I think it's in Colorado. The case is little of the Hickox, maybe Hickox, but it's a transgender student who wanted to be on the... girls cross-country team and this and and brought suit back in 2020 really at the peak of this yeah wanted to join oh yeah this is no it's idaho that i said colorado sorry idaho idao idao boise state so it's college it's college level and wanted to be on the women's college cross-country team sued uh sued and a ninth circuit judge

uh ended up getting involved in this and now it's law without getting too deep into the weeds on this the the situation is that the original plaintiff is uh trying to try to withdraw his case as a her tried to withdraw the case clay because they don't want the Supreme Court to actually take this up. Yeah. And a federal judge just today, Judge Nye, who was a Trump appointee, said, oh, no, you're not doing this, you know, hide the football situation here. You wanted to bring a federal lawsuit about, you know, discrimination saying that you're actually to be treated as a woman. we're taking we're taking this thing on like let's go and now it looks like the supreme court is is eventually going to be uh taking this up and i think they're going to have to weigh in on no men are men and women are women and we're allowed to make different decisions about the two in law as a matter of law There is a, I'm going to give them credit here, great long form piece in the New York Times recently. Looking at the Scermetti case, Jonathan Scermetti is the Attorney General of the state of Tennessee. The Supreme Court came out and said that the state can restrict this so-called gender affirming care for minors, that there is a state interest. And the trans community is in a panic. Because they thought that they were going to be able to win these cases, basically that the trans treatments and all this stuff on minors is actually okay. And instead, they're losing. And what you just pointed out is an important point. They're now trying to avoid giving the Supreme Court an opportunity to strike down a lot of the state laws. And so they're trying to pull back now because they're like, oh, my goodness. The same logic of Scermetti is certainly going to apply in sports. That's right. The trans activists don't want their day in court all of a sudden. Isn't that so interesting to see? They want to rely, and this goes into the weeds, buck, they want to rely on like the Ninth Circuit and some of the liberal circuit courts without having to get a nationwide ruling so that in California and Oregon and Washington, the crazy arguments can prevail instead of the Supreme Court slapping it down. So I'm very familiar with this tactic clay because as a longtime New York City and New York State resident, particularly on the New York City side, this is the game they used to play all the time. They did flatly unconstitutional things when it came to firearms. And in the moment somebody brought legislation, they would change it. And then they would do something else flatly on, you know, $500 fee to be a, to be not a concealed carry, to be a premise permit holder. They would just use the system in bad faith to do things that they knew were unconstitutional. And instead of actually allowing the system to then say, no, you're disrespecting the rights, the two-way rights of people in New York City, they would pull it. And then it's moot. And they would argue it's moot. That's what this trans athlete.

in Idaho is trying to do. And this, thank heavens, this Trump appointee has said, no, no, no. You brought it. Now we're going to finish it. We're going to see where this actually goes. Yeah. And it's not going to go a good place for all these people. But I mean, this woman is trying to become the Democrat nominee for California. And her argument is we don't really know whether men are faster than women or not. To put this into context for you, Buck, every single state high school champion in Texas last year for track and field. Every single boy, these are 18 and younger boys, 15 to 18 year old boys, every single Texas state champion ran faster speeds than the fastest women in the history of the Olympics. So we're not even talking about, I think Florence Griffith's joiner, Flojo is still the fastest woman of all time. Every Texas high school state champion at all district levels. smoked flojo. So we're not even talking about men versus women on the best men in the world. We're talking about the state of Texas by itself. Every boy state champion is faster than the fastest woman that's ever existed in the history of the world. Switch your cell phone service from AT&T, Verizon, or T-Mobile to Pure Talk.

The headlines, they move on, but the heartache and the terror, they do not. Iran and its terrorist proxies are continuing to target Israel. Hezbollah continues its attacks in the north, forcing families to live under constant threat. But Israel is not only defending her people, she is standing on the front lines against terror that threatens us all. Even when the news crews leave, the international fellowship of Christians and Jews, they remain. Every day, they are on the ground, providing life-saving aid. Now, near Israel's border with Lebanon, a Hezbollah drone recently struck the home of Yelina, widowed earlier this year, and living alone, she was trapped inside by the blast. Thankfully, she was not injured, but she remained displaced. It's hard these days, she says, but I don't want to leave. Well, as Christians, we are called to stand with God's people and pray for those defending Israel and protecting the freedoms we hold dear. I want you to join the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews in praying for the peace of Jerusalem. And for the soldiers, families, and civilians carrying the burden of this fight right now, visit pray-IFCJ.org. That's pray-IFcj.org.

All right, welcome back in, everybody, to Clay Ann Buck. We got some great guests coming up the next hour, our friend Ryan Gurdoskey on Virginia, New Jersey, New York City, all those races, which are going to be determined here in just a couple of weeks. So it is prime time on those election cycles. We'll also talk to Steve Hilton about California, the plans of Gavin Newsom, the failures of Gavin Newsom on policy, and so much more. So we've got a big hour. That will be coming your way. I want to tell you to drink some Jasmine Crockett coffee, everybody. Don't forget, subscribe.

And I'm telling you, I think you guys will enjoy it. By the way, producer Greg grabbed that clip, which again, I think I give credit to media that now are pushing past the opening question. Because what it eventually leads to, if you have a genderless Olympics, then you have to believe that a woman could beat Usain Bolt in a hundred meter race. And that's exactly where Pierce Morgan went. This is one of the candidates to be the California Democrat nominee. Listen to this actual conversation. I think you can see female athletes, particularly in track and field, where agility is probably... What? Hang on, are you suggesting that women... Hang on. You think that women could compete? against men in track and field, like in 100 meters, 200 meters, 10,000 meters, do you? Perhaps. Perhaps. Of course they couldn't. Have you seen the times that women and men record in the Olympics for all track and field events? Have you watched Usain Bolt when he smashed the world record for the 100 meters? Yes. Yes. So you think women could run against Usain Bolt, for example, at his peak? And that would be fair? I think there, look, I'm just going to say this. There's a lot of misinformation about the ability of transgender athletes. That wasn't my question.

So, I mean, again, you have to call these people out on the absurdity and really put them on the carpet here. What is more troubling, Clay? If this woman that Pierce is talking to who wants to be obviously a powerful person in California, if she believes this or if she knows it's a lie and says this, which is worse? The second. because you're a moron if you believe it, but at least you're being honest in your belief. It doesn't mean that you should be better to be a moron. Better to be honest moron than intentional liar, I think. Now, that's a tough, that's a tough balance. And some of you are going to say, Clay, you're both. We'll take some of those talkbacks. But yeah, I think this woman's more moron than intentional liar. You guys may disagree. More with us next. Our podcast version of the Clay Travis N.
